An affiliate of a Malaysian online payment firm has jumped into the social networking business by agreeing to buy Friendster Inc. of Mountain View, the two companies announced early Thursday in Kuala Lumpur.
MOL Global Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of MOL AccessPortal Berhad of Kuala Lumpur, has agreed to buy 100 percent of the firm that pioneered social networking.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. A published report last week said Friendster was close to selling itself to a firm from Asia in a deal worth $100 million.
In a press release, the two companies said the combined entity would merge MOL’s e-commerce platform with Friendster’s social network of 115 million users worldwide.
“The merger with Friendster will continue to transform the social networking industry, combining a highly intuitive and successful social media site and online marketing channel with an integrated payment platform and content network, which includes games, goods, gifts, music and video,” Ganesh Kumar Bangah, MOL president and chief executive, said in a news release.
Friendster, founded in 2002 by computer programmer Jonathan Abrams, was the early king of social networking in the United States, but was eventually lapped first by MySpace and now by Facebook, which has 350 million members worldwide.
However, Friendster went on to carve its own niche in Southeast Asia, where it has more than 75 million members.
The statement said MOL will leverage the brick-and-mortar holdings in the region of its principal shareholder, Tan Sri Vincent Tan, chairman and CEO of Berjaya Corporation Berhad, a Malaysian conglomerate with more than $1.8 billion on annual revenues.
The company said it plans to use those holdings, which include Starbucks, 7-Eleven, Borders, Krispy Kreme, Wendy’s and Papa John’s Pizza franchises, to “localize and extend the online reach of social networking in Southeast Asia.”
“We are creating a unique company that will be well-positioned to provide content to a huge, regional user base here in Southeast Asia,” said Bangah, who becomes group CEO of the combined company.
Friendster’s Australia-based CEO Richard Kimber will join the new company’s board as a “non-executive chairman,” holding an advisory role, a Friendster spokesman said.
Last week, Friendster unveiled a new look and logo design, along with several new features that were part of a previous partnership with MOL announced in October.

- Increases size of state "rainy day" fund from 5% to 12.5% of the General Fund.
- A portion of the annual deposits into that fund would be dedicated to savings for future economic
downturns, and the remainder would be available to fund education, infrastructure, and debt
repayment, or for use in a declared emergency.
- Requires additional revenue above historic trends to be deposited into state "rainy day" fund, limiting
- Higher state tax revenues of roughly $16 billion from 2010-11 through 2012-13 to help balance the
- In many years, increased amounts of money in state "rainy day" reserve fund.
- Potentially less ups and downs in state spending over time.
- Possible greater state spending on repaying budgetary borrowing and debt, infrastructure projects, and
temporary tax relief. In some cases, this would mean less money available for ongoing spending.
- A YES vote on this measure means:
- Various state budgeting practices would be changed. In some cases, the state would set aside more money in one of its "rainy day" reserve funds. Higher state taxes recently passed would be extended for up to two years.
- A NO vote on this measure means:
- No changes would be made to state's current budgeting practices or its rainy day reserve funds. Higher state
taxes recently passed would end by 2010-11.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 1A:
- Yes 1A: REFORM OUR
SYSTEM. 1A forces budget
stability and accountability. It
strictly limits state spending and
mandates a bigger rainy day
fund--forcing politicians to save
more in good years to prevent
tax increases and cuts to schools,
public safety and other vital
services in bad years.
- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 1A:
- 1A is not what its
supporters promise. Why?
Because 1A: Treats the "Rainy
Day Fund" as a slush fund for
Pork Barrel spending ; Could
force service cuts even in good
times; Encourages unlimited tax
increases--doesn't stop them; Gives
unchecked power to Governor.
Vote No on 1A.

Little-known graphics card suppliers selling their products on Chinese marketplaces have recently emerged in the United States. These suppliers now offer their products through reputable retailers like Amazon and Newegg at moderate prices that are reasonable and reasonable.
Interestingly, these graphics cards entered the U.S. market simultaneously as the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining boom ended.
Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI have widely recognized graphics card brands, but smaller companies such as 51Risc, A.X. Gaming (a sub-brand of Inno3D), Corn, Maxsun, Mllse, and Poland are also present in the market.
These companies previously sold their products only on marketplaces like AliExpress or Taobao, targeting the Asia Pacific region and enthusiasts interested in unique items, such as desktop graphics cards with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU primarily.
Although these lesser-known companies have yet to market their products in the United States, their offerings often meet the configuration recommendations of AMD and Nvidia. They can be listed as the best graphics cards. The graphics cards sold under these brands may be cheaper or more expensive than those of well-known brands.
As an illustration, 51Risc’s GeForce RTX 3070 is sold at a lower price of $459 at Newegg compared to Gigabyte’s Eagle GeForce RTX 3070, which retails at $499, and Maxsun’s GeForce RTX 3070 at $519 with a $20 promotional gift card included.
The graphics cards of Mllse and Peladn are almost identical, implying that both products may have been manufactured in the same facility, with the sole difference being the fan stickers. Despite Peladn’s lower cost, its physical appearance resembles Mllse’s.
The reason for these lesser-known brands to compete with major names like Amazon and Newegg is still being determined. Nevertheless, some may argue that competition is beneficial, and consumers benefit from more options.
Ensuring that these Chinese graphics cards are fully functional and meet expected performance standards, which still need to be assessed, is crucial. Additionally, warranty support could become a concern if problems occur.
Jon Peddie Research reports that the desktop P.C. discrete graphics card market is small and had only sold 38 million units valued at $24.14 billion last year. However, AIB suppliers are fiercely competing in this market.
Around twelve leading graphics card manufacturers have widely recognized brands and several sub-brands catering to specific regions. For instance, Palit produces various GPUs for the global market while marketing almost identical KFA2 and Galax brands for Europe and the United States. There used to be unknown brands in the past, but they vanished as the TAM for graphics cards reduced from roughly 85 million units in 2006 to about 38 million in 2022.
Despite the limited number of small graphics card suppliers in the U.S. market, these companies are still willing to take on industry leaders. However, it’s uncertain whether they will stay in the market for long or offload a few unsold boards.
When considering these brands, consumers should be cautious of warranty support and product quality. It is still being determined if they will be able to compete with the bigger names in the market and maintain their foothold in the long run.
China has become a significant participant in the graphics card industry, with several Chinese companies designing and manufacturing their own graphics cards. Some of the most well-known Chinese graphics card brands include Colorful, GALAX, and Yeston.
These companies have gained a reputation for offering high-quality graphics cards at competitive prices. Many of their products target the gaming market, with features like high clock speeds, efficient cooling systems, and RGB lighting.
Chinese graphics cards have gained popularity, particularly among budget-conscious consumers who want to get the most value for their money. However, some users may need more time to buy Chinese graphics cards due to quality control and warranty support concerns.


‘I don’t know the man but I forgive him’ – Police chief who forgave terrorist for murdering his son set to speak at Christchurch Baldock service in Letchworth
- Credit: Archant
Forgiveness is to be discussed in Letchworth next weekend by a former police chief who had his only son stabbed to death by a terrorist – then shocked the nation by saying he forgave the killer.
Author and speaker Robin Oake was chief constable of the Isle of Man in 2003 when his son Stephen, an anti-terror detective, was killed during an operation in Manchester.
And at a press conference the next day he told the world: “I don’t know the man or the circumstances of the operation but from the bottom of my heart I forgive him.”
Robin, who subsequently wrote a book articulating his thoughts called Father Forgive – published in 2008 – will speak at Christchurch Baldock’s 6pm service on Sunday, October 30, at the Letchworth Free Church hall.
In Father Forgive he weaves his experiences together with biblical commentary to explain how he feels able to forgive what many would call unforgivable. He focuses more on his own life story and police career in his second book With God on the Streets, which came out in 2009, and 2015’s The Power of Powerlessness.
Robin told the Comet on Wednesday: “In Letchworth I will recount many police stories – often with humour – as well as mentioning Steve’s murder and what has happened since.”
Stephen’s killer, an Algerian called Kamel Bourgass, is serving life for his murder, and was also convicted in 2005 of plotting to attack the London Underground with ricin poison.

Christchurch Baldock minister Chris Jenkins said: “Forgiveness is a very difficult issue for all of us.
“We find it hard to let go of those little annoyances we all experience. Some people have much more to forgive – abuse, neglect, trauma.
“I’m not in a position to tell others what to do. However, Robin Oake’s example of forgiving his son’s murderer is an inspiring example.”

Thanks to Helen and Alfred Free, Ohio had a hand in the advancement of diabetes testing. All the Frees needed was a couple of strips of paper to revolutionize urinalysis.
Alfred, a native of Bainbridge, attended Miami University for his undergraduate degree before pursuing master’s and doctorate degrees at Case Western Reserve University, where he taught for several years, while Helen received her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the College of Wooster.
The original glucose-detecting urine test for diabetes involved mixing chemicals and applying heat to urine to determine the presence of glucose — a messy and time-consuming process. While the test worked, the Frees figured there must be an easier way to test for glucose and have the test determine the amount of glucose present. They were right. In 1956, they developed Clinistix, a revolutionary dip-and-read test that detects the presence and level of glucose in urine with just a strip of paper using chemicals that react with the urine. The Clinistix test led to dip-and-read urine tests for other substances, such as bilirubin and albumin.
“Just having to dip a strip into a cup of urine is life-changing,” says Amanda Mahoney, chief curator of the Dittrick Medical History Center at Case Western Reserve University. “You can travel without your little chemistry kit. You can teach younger kids how to monitor their own urine.”
Helen was the first woman in an administrative position at Miles Laboratories in Elkhart, Indiana, where she met Alfred and developed the urinalysis tests. “It was a huge deal that she moved up, that she was even hired as a research scientist in the late ‘40s, and that she moved up in the ranks,” says Mahoney.
After retiring in 1982, Helen went on to become president of the American Chemical Society and promoted educational initiatives worldwide to involve women and children in the field of chemistry. Even after retirement, she worked as a consultant for Miles (now Bayer) Diagnostics, for many years.

(Suzy?? That's a name that doesn't interest me!)
Maybe her name
Sounds rather plain.
(Then what can her attraction be?????)
This is from memory as it played on a half-inch thick 78RPM disk on our old Victrola in Maine. Some of the records only had recording on one side, they were so old.

Downloading big programs into an emulated HP-41
J2N-FORGET at orange.fr
Sun Feb 10 22:25:55 PST 2013
About the nonpareil emulation of HP-41:
I would like to know how to transfer big programs from the Linux host
to the guest HP-41CV of HP-41CX machine or in the other way.
When duckduckgoing "nonpareil hp41 documentation", I have found:
which can be summarized thus:
1) Use hp41uc to compile the program into a DAT file or a BIN file
2) Create a file $HOME/.nonpareil/41cx.nal
3) Insert into it a "DAT my_prog.dat" line or a "BIN my_prog.bin"
4) Start your guest HP-41
It does not work for me. I have tried other possibilities offered in
the same webpage, such as the MEMLOST command and it did not work
Is there another way to import or export big programs?
I have found that the my_snapshot.nst files are just gzip'ed XML
files. Then, with W Wickes's book "Synthetic programming on the
HP-41C" or with J-D Dodin's book "Au fond de la HP-41C", I can
translate the contents of the XML file. Can I update the XML file to
put whatever I want into the HP-41 memory? Does such a program already
exist or must I write my own (and then share with anyone interested)?
Thank you in advance,

Ever since I was named to the Governor’s Council in 2011, I have increasingly thought about how politicians and the media influence and impact public perception (and thus, public policy) on addiction. I initially had high hopes for Governor Christie, as he was a former prosecutor who had talked about expanding the Drug Courts and the importance of treatment. As time went by, I saw that he talked a good game but neither provided additional funding to prevention/treatment/recovery services nor signed off on forward thinking bills. After his office delayed the NJ Heroin and Opiate Task Force report for over a year, I became a vocal public critic of the Governor. Last July, I wrote about how Mr. Christie has no shot at becoming President (and I listed his scandals and failures with lots of references) and offered advice about how he can be more effective in his remaining two years in office, with a particular focus on addressing substance addiction and recovery.
Last November, a speech by Mr. Christie in New Hampshire about his mother’s tobacco use and his law classmate’s addiction went viral and sent the political media into a tizzy (even liberal pundits said they were impressed). Mr. Christie talked about how it was a public health issue and that people with addictions should get treatment, rather than be arrested. I appeared on NPR with Brian Lehrer to discuss Mr. Christie’s speech and whether his policies match his rhetoric (spoiler alert: they don’t). That said, empty rhetoric is better than no rhetoric. From 2011 to 2015, I attended the Rutgers Edward J. Bloustein School of Public Policy and I spoke with multiple professors about my problems with Governor Christie and his empty rhetoric. Their responses can be summed up easily:
1) No one wins or loses elections talking about mental health or addiction policy
2) Even if a politician doesn’t actually do anything about it, the fact that he or she is talking about these issues brings it to the fore and allows for greater public awareness
In mid-December, I interviewed Sam Quinones, the author of Dreamland, which provides the best account of the history of heroin and the American opiate epidemic that I’ve come across. We talked for 80 minutes, and parts of that interview will be released on other professional sites. Mr. Quinones and I discussed Governor Christie and the rhetoric of politicians, and he echoed my policy professors’ views:
Frank Greenagel: It is election season, and I’ve been very critical of my own state governor, Governor Christie. He got a lot of press a month ago by giving an impassioned speech about his mother’s tobacco use and his law school buddy’s drug problem. Conservatives liked it and Democrats liked it and he was praised on MSNBC. I’ve heard the speech before, but when push comes to shove, he doesn’t fund anything. He still criminalizes marijuana; I’m for the decriminalization of it. He criminalizes marijuana, he hasn’t funded treatment bills, he resisted naloxone expansion, he resisted the Good Samaritan law. There’s point after point after point, so his rhetoric soars high above his actual policies. What happened after his speech is that politicians on both sides of the aisle have been tripping over themselves in announcing that they have a friend who is an addict. Or my family member is an alcoholic. I’d like you to speak to that. I know you like what Governor Kasich did in Ohio. Is there anyone else or anyone that has any kind of policies that said anything that seems to get it or is it all just a kind of campaign bravado, like I’ve seen from Governor Christie?
Sam Quinones: Regardless of what follow-throughs he did or did not do, the mere fact that people are beginning to talk about it is really important and remarkable. I don’t know his record in New Jersey in funding programs or passing laws. I did think it was interesting to listen to him to say that because those words spoken 15 years before would have disqualified him from the Republican nomination. His campaign would have halted right then. Now, you can see these Republicans now are, again, as you say, tripping over themselves trying to tell the most gripping story of addiction in their family, which I think is a huge step forward. I really do. I think it’s very important. I don’t know that I see anyone who has understood the issue well enough. Nor do I even think Barack Obama does. I watched him at the Charleston, West Virginia town hall meeting that he held and it seemed to me that it was an issue that was far off for him. He did not feel comfortable with it, didn’t know how to pronounce naloxone and this kind of thing. That’s understandable. He’s got ISIS. He’s got a million other things that are important, but it seems to me that it’s still in the phase where people are approaching this, or not entirely comfortable with this topic yet.
About a week after Governor Christie’s New Hampshire talk, Ben Carson responded to a question about addiction by not answering and instead chose to talk about political correctness. I pilloried him for it in an article, and took that as an opportunity to write about past Presidential families and their problems with addictions (Adams, Roosevelt, Ford). Unlike Mr. Christie, Dr. Carson said all the wrong things.
Yesterday, Carly Fiorina penned a piece for Time magazine. She wrote about her step-daughter, who died from addiction at the age of 34. She also wrote about what the government should do for those with mental health problems and addiction disorders, and how we need to reform the criminal justice system:
We must invest more in mental health and in the treatment of drug addiction. We shouldn’t be criminalizing addiction. If you’re criminalizing drug abuse, you’re not treating it. In New Hampshire alone, 85% of state prisoners have a substance abuse problem. These men and women need help. We need to reform the criminal justice system and make sure we’re putting the right people in prison. The federal prison population has nearly doubled in the last 20 years—and nearly half of the inmates in federal prison are in there for non-violent drug offenses.It’s important to keep violent criminals out of our communities—but it’s also true that prison is not always the right answer. Drug offenders who go into treatment—rather than through the normal criminal justice system—are about 25% less likely to be re-arrested in the two years after leaving the program.
I’m thrilled that she made these points. This is an astonishing change from 30 years ago and the disastrous policies of President Reagan, when prevention programs were based on “Just Say No” and funding for treatment programs were cut and the prison populations exploded due to draconian sentences for drug possessions. Now multiple Republican candidates are talking about the importance of drug treatment and sensible criminal justice reform, including the son of Ronald Reagan’s VP.
Today on The Medium, Jeb Bush wrote about his daughter’s addiction and recovery:
As a father, I have felt the heartbreak of drug abuse. My daughter Noelle suffered from addiction, and like many parents facing similar situations, her mom and I struggled to help. I have so many friends and know so many families who have faced this terrible challenge. Addiction crosses all barriers, all lines, all races and all incomes. It creates real hardship and heartbreak in families. And, it places substantial demands on government at every level. I never expected to see my precious daughter in jail. It wasn’t easy, and it became very public when I was Governor of Florida, making things even more difficult for Noelle. She went through hell, so did her mom, and so did I.
It’s very debilitating when you have a loved one who is struggling, and you can’t control it. You have to love them, but you also have to make it clear you cannot enable the behavior that gets them in trouble. Showing a lot of courage, Noelle graduated from drug court. Drug courts use a restorative solution model involving multi-disciplinary coordination, including the judiciary, the prosecution, mental health specialists, social services and treatment professionals. I was the proud dad that saw Noelle finish that. She’s drug-free now.
The New York Times reported on his post today and also wrote that Governor Bush would be appearing at a drug policy forum in New Hampshire later this afternoon and would talk about his plans to address mental health and addiction problems:
Mr. Bush’s plan to deal with the issue has four main components: preventing drug abuse and addiction, strengthening the criminal justice system, securing the southern border with Mexico to stop the flow of illegal drugs, and improving treatment and recovery programs.
Neither Mr. Bush, Ms. Fiorina, nor Mr. Christie have released detailed policy plans yet, but the fact that they are all talking about these issues is substantial forward progress.

Before you start
Objectives: learn which tools can be used to deploy different versions of Windows, where can you find them, when should you use them, and what are the basic steps when preparing automated installation.
Prerequisites: no prerequisites.
Key terms: automated installation, deployment, answer file, tools, sysprep, WAIK, reference
Windows Vista and Windows 7 Deployment
In business environments installing Windows in traditional way of entering the DVD and then manually configuring each installation is simply not administratively effective anymore. Because of that, we should be comfortable with automatic Windows deployment. There are several toolkits and individual tools which can be used to automate the Windows installation.
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
To automate deployment of Vista and 7 systems we can use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), which is a free Solution Accelerator for operating system and application deployment. MDT supports deployment of Windows 7, Office 2010, and Windows Server 2008 R2 in addition to deployment of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP. MDT contains detailed guidance and manuals on common deployment scenarios, as well as deployment console (workbench) with tools, images, and necessary tasks for desktop and server deployment. These tools provide complete automation for deploying Windows operating systems. The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit reduces deployment time, standardizes Windows images, limits service disruptions, reduces post-deployment help-desk costs, and improves security and ongoing configuration management.
MDT supports two distribution methods, LTI and ZTI. Lite Touch Installation (LTI) is a method of distribution which requires an image with a small amount of user intervention. It can be used without requiring any other distribution tools. Zero Touch Installation (ZTI) is a method of distribution that doesn’t require user intervention at all, but it does require additional tools. It requires Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) with the OS Deployment Feature Pack, and Microsoft SQL server.
All tools that come with MDT are available trough MDT deployment console. MDT is primarily used with Windows Deployment Services (WDS) server to enable the creation and automation of Windows images. Remember that MDT requires the Windows AIK to be installed as well (WAIK is described later in this article). MDT is available in 32-bit and 64-bit version.
The first step in using MDT to deploy images is to create a distribution share which will hold different images. Distribution share can also be used to manage and store files like applications, patches, updates, drivers and different settings for MDT. When talking about distribution shares we also have to know what is a deployment point. A deployment point is a subset of files in the distribution share which are necessary to install and configure Windows on a target computer. Deployment point defines the location of images, device drivers, updates and applications.
With MDT we can utilize the task sequences feature to add updates, language packs, system packages and applications to particular image. Task sequences can containing tasks and groups. Tasks are actions that are performed on some image. For example, task can be creating a partition, adding drivers, formatting the partition, installing operating system, etc. Groups are used to organize tasks that are related.
With MDT we can’t update offline WHD files that contain Windows installation. For managing offline WHDs we can use Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool. This tool requires System Center Virtual Machine Manager in addition to Windows Server Update Services and System Center Configuration Manager. With MDT we can add languages, and applications to offline images.
After completing the MDT steps, we can deploy images to our client computers either by using Windows Deployment Services (automatically) or by using LTI bootable media. If the computer does not support PXE booting, which is required to use the WDS, we can use the LTI bootable media to deploy the image. We can create the LTI bootable media from the deployment workbench.
Imaging is the process of taking a snapshot of the entire physical hard disk of the computer and storing it to a file, on some media. A system image is a single file containing all the contents of the Windows operating system installation and any additional files on a computer’s hard drive. The benefit of using an image is that we can customize the operating system with the software and settings that we prefer. Then we can deploy that customized system to any PC.
Prior to creating the reference computer and deploying a captured image of the reference computer, we have to install Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK). Both Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and Windows Automated Installation Kit (.iso file) can be downloaded from Microsoft site.
Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK or WAIK)
The Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) is designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system builders, and corporate IT professionals deploy Windows onto new hardware. The Windows AIK is a set of deployment tools which we can use to create, maintain and deploy Windows system images (WIM files).
By default, the WAIK is installed to the C:Program FilesWindows AIKdirectory. This directory contains all of the tools and documentation included in this release. The core tools used in most Windows deployment scenarios are:
- Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) – used to open Windows images, create answer files, and manage distribution shares and configuration sets.
- ImageX – tool used to capture, create, modify, and apply Windows images. ImageX is a command line tool. An image file contains a complete Windows installation. For example, if we have an existing computer that we set up the way we want, we can use ImageX to create a copy of that computer as a WIM image file which we can later use to deploy our custom Windows version to another computer.
- Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) – used to apply updates, drivers, and language packs to a Windows image. DISM is available in all installations of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
- Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) – a minimal operating system environment used to deploy Windows. We can use it to boot up our machine. It has a CMD interface. WinPE can be customized with additional drivers and applications to help us with our troubleshooting and deployments. The AIK includes several tools used to build and configure Windows PE environments.
- Windows Setup – used to install Windows. This tool is included in the Windows product DVD and is not part of the AIK installation.
- Sysprep – used to prepare a Windows installation for imaging or delivery to a customer. With this tool we remove all the unique information of our source computer such as computer name and computer SID (Security ID). The Sysprep tool is available in all Windows installations in the%WINDIR%system32sysprep directory.
- User State Migration Tool (USMT) – used to migrate user data from a previous Windows operating system to Windows 7. USMT is installed as part of the AIK in the %PROGRAMFILES%Windows AIKToolsUSMTdirectory.
- oscdimg – used to create ISO images for the Windows PE boot disc.
Application Compatibility Toolkit provides the ability to evaluate and mitigate application compatibility issues before deploying new versions of Windows or Internet Explorer in your environment.
Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit Solution Accelerator enables you to assess your current IT infrastructure for a variety of technology migration projects. It includes the features previously provided with the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment Solution Accelerator.
Answer files are files that provide answers to prompts during installation to help automate installations. Answer files are now in the XML format. The default name for answer files is Autounattend.XML. We can also add device drivers and third-party applications to our XML files. Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) is a tool used to create and manage answer files that are used for automating Windows installations. When we run the Windows setup program, we point Setup to the answer file. The installation proceeds using the answers in the response file. If all of the necessary answers to setup configuration questions are included in the file, the installation will run and complete without our intervention. We can edit answer file to modify its settings and in that way change how Windows will be installed.
WIM Image Files
Prior to Windows Vista, a Windows installation media contained all the files necessary for the installation that were copied, one by one, to the target computer. With Windows Vista and Windows 7, the installation media contains premade generalized image of the Windows installation which is stored in WIM (Windows IMage File) format. With new Windows deployment methods, we use WIM image files which are file based, instead of older image files which are sector based. File based images give us more flexibility. The smallest unit of information in a WIM image is a file instead of a sector. A WIM image is hardware independent and has a unique single instance storage structure. Single instance storage allows a file to be stored once and be referenced multiple times within an image. That saves a lot of space. For example, if we take sector based image of an 4 GB Hard drive, we could deploy it only to the Hard drive that has at least 4 GB of space. Also, the hardware on the target computer had to be identical. With WIM files, file based images, we can deploy multiple versions of Windows to multiple types of hardware. With answer files we are able to completely automate the installation process.
Another advantage is that a WIM image can contain multiple disk images. These images are referenced either by numerical index value or unique name. Since WIM files use single instance storage, common information from different disk images within the WIM file are stored only once. WIM files can also be spanned or split into multiple parts. Each new part will have SWM extension. Since WIM images are file based we can use the ImageX command to mount a WIM image as a new volume with a drive letter. Then we can add, update or remove the content within that image. Before we can use ImageX we have to load WIM file system filter device driver.
To create automated installation for XP we can use Deployment Tools which we can find on every Windows XP installation CDin folder supporttools or which we can download from Microsoft site. Just search for Deployment Tools for Windows XP and you should find a link to download deploy.cab file. When we have a deploy.cab file we have to extract content from it. The Deploy.cab file contains several tools that corporate administrators and IT professionals can use to deploy Windows XP to multiple computers. It includes tools like Setup Manager, System Preparation (Sysprep), Cvtarea and Oformat.
We can use Setup Manager to create or modify the files that control an unattended Setup. Setup Manager can create answer files (unattend.txt) that can automate the installation of Windows XP on multiple computers. The unattend.txt file is an answer file which contains responses to questions that occur during the normal installation process. If we use the answer file, we don’t have to manually answer every question during the installation. When creating an answer file we can use the wizard inside of Setup Manager which makes is very easy. If we’re going to use the CD for the Windows XP installation, we will have to put our answer files on a Floppy disk and point to its location. Also, for CD-based setup, the answer file must be named Winnt.sif. With Setup Manager we can also create a distribution share point for network installations, and we have to put our answer file on the share as well. In addition to the Windows XP installation files, this network installation share can contain additional applications, drivers, additional commands to run at the end of Setup, and other custom components, as specified by the system administrator.
To install and run Setup Manager, copy the Setupmgr.exe file, which is located in deploy.cab file, to your hard disk. When running the installation we can use the following commands to include answer files during the installation:
- winnt.exe /u:filename – filename is the location of the response file
- winnt.exe /udf:filename – filename is the location of the UDF file
If we have many computers that we have to set up, we may want to have all the unique information prepared before we start the installation process. For example, every computer should have unique computer name. For that we can use the Uniqueness Database File (UDF) which can be created in Setup Manager. UDF contains unique data for multiple new computers, so we can use it to provide that information during the installation process on multiple computers.
All this is one way of preparing and doing an automated installation. In another method we can create and use image file. Then we can deploy that image on another computer. To create an installation image we have to have a reference computer which will use as our starting point. We install XP on a new reference computer and customize it. After that we run Sysprep to prepare it for imaging and then use disk imaging tool to create the installation image. That custom image can then be deployed to multiple computers.
We have a separate article in which we show where to find and how to work with Setup Manager in XP.
System Preparation (Sysprep)
Sysprep prepares a computer’s hard disk for disk duplication, auditing, and customer delivery. It is designed for corporate system administrators, OEMs, and others who deploy Windows XP to multiple computers. After completing the initial setup steps on a single computer, you can run Sysprep to prepare the computer for duplication. Sysprep assigns a unique security ID (SID) to each destination computer the first time the computer restarts. With Sysprep we can also configure user-specific information to be customized by the end-user when Windows starts the first time, create images of operating systems, duplicate disks, automate the Windows mini-Setup program or perform auditing tasks. The Sysprep.inf file is the answer file for the Sysprep.exe program. To build the Sysprep.inf file, run the Setup Manager Wizard.
Cvtarea and Oformat
Cvtarea is a tool for creating files and analyzing the placement of those files on a FAT32 or FAT file system. Oformat creates a FAT32 volume with clusters that are aligned in an optimal way for when the volume is later converted to NTFS file system format.
The Deploy.cab also includes detailed documentation that describes the latest features of the deployment tools and how to use them.
Server Operating Systems Deployment
Deploying server OS is very similar to deploying workstation operating systems. Server OS also use Answer files to configure the installation without user intervention. From Windows Server 2008, Answer files use the XML standard and are named Autoattend.xml. For Windows Server 2003 we used plain text files for Answer files. To create Answer files for Windows Server 2008 R2 OS we will also use the Windows System Image Manager (WSIM), which is available in the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) for particular Windows Server version, which can be downloaded from the Microsoft web site. The WAIK for Windows 7 also works for Windows Server 2008 R2, the WAIK for Windows Vista also works for Windows Server 2008, etc. The biggest difference from the workstation answer file and the server answer file is that the server answer file will contain information about the server roles that we want to install. The typical things that we will include in a server answer file are server (computer) name, network configuration, roles and features installation, and role configuration.
Windows Server versions prior to Windows 2008 will look on floppy disk for an answer file. From Windows 2008 we have support for removable USB devices, which makes things a lot easier. So, to perform an unattended installation we could simply insert a Windows DVD and the answer file on a USB device and start the installation. The configuration for the installation will then be read from the answer file on the USB disk. Keep in mind that if the answer file contains missing or incorrect responses, the installation will stop and wait for valid input.
For example, lets say that we want to deploy custom Windows 7 installation to multiple computers. The first step in creating a custom installation is to build an answer file. We use an answer file to configure Windows settings during installation. The answer file contains all of the settings that are required for an unattended installation. We can create an answer file usingWindows System Image Manager (Windows SIM). After we finish creating our answer file (Autounattend.xml) we can copy it to the root directory of a USB flash drive (UFD) which we will use later while performing installations.
In step two we need to create a reference installation. A reference computer has a customized installation of Windows that we plan to duplicate onto one or more destination computers. We can create a reference installation by using the Windows installation DVD and an answer file which we have already created. After the installation we can also install all applications that we plan to use. After we are finished configuring our source installation, we need to prepare it for the end user. To do that we can use the sysprepcommand with the /generalize option to remove hardware-specific information from the Windows installation, and the /oobe option to configure the computer to boot to Windows Welcome upon the next restart.
If we don’t have one, in step three we create a bootable Windows PE RAM disk on a CD-ROM disc by using the Copype.cmd script. Windows PE RAM enables us to start a computer for the purposes of deployment and recovery. Windows PE RAM boots directly into memory, enabling us to remove the Windows PE media after the computer boots.
In step four we capture an image of our reference computer by using Windows PE and the ImageX tool. Then we store that image on a network share or Windows Deployment Services (WDS). After we have an image of our reference installation, we can deploy the image onto new hardware.
In last step we go to the target machine and boot up using WinPE, then use the DiskPart tool to format the hard drive if necessary, and then use ImageX to apply master image that we created previously. Of course, this is just an example of how it can be done and there are other ways to do it.
For XP automated installation we use Deployment Tools which we can find on every Windows XP installation CD (deploy.cab file). Deployment Tools inclue Setup Manager, System Preparation (Sysprep), Cvtarea and Oformat. Setup Manager can create answer files that can automate the installation of Windows XP. Sysprep assigns a unique security ID (SID) to each destination computer.
To automate deployment of Vista and 7 systems we can use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). The WAIK is one of several resources that we can use to deploy Windows. The core tools used in most Windows deployment scenarios, and which we can find in WAIK are: Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM), ImageX, Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM), Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), Sysprep and User State Migration Tool (USMT). Answer files are files that provide answers to prompts during installation to help automate installations. With new Windows deployment techniques we use image files which have a .WIM extension (Windows IMage Files), which are file based.
Paths that are mentioned in this article
Deployment Tools for Windows XP:
- [CD drive]supporttoolsdeploy.cab
By default, the WAIK is installed to:
- C:Program FilesWindows AIK
We have separate articles in which we show how to prepare the automated installation and create answer files:

The 9 funniest lines from a coal kingpin's lawsuit against John Oliver
John Oliver is facing the legal wrath of a lawsuit-happy coal baron after a brutal segment in which the host tore into the American coal industry.
The document accuses Oliver of a “ruthless character assassination” of Robert Murray, CEO of the nation’s largest coal mining operation, Murray Energy.
SEE ALSO: Coal company sues John Oliver for being John Oliver
It didn’t exactly come as a surprise; in fact, Oliver more or less dared the notoriously litigious coal boss by mocking an earlier cease-and-desist letter from his company on the show. And at least one first amendment lawyer has said Murray doesn’t have much

Hello everyone I need a little help.
As you can see from the subject line I am starting a band. This band is going to be a school band. For my school band, I'm having trouble finding songs to cover. So can you help me? I need a song with easy vocals and a bass guitar.
@Listener001 I will take a stab at helping you with this, now these songs are just a road map for you, I'm not sure if they would be anything for you to take a hold of, but perhaps songs that are very similar.
1. Nirvana: "Come as You Are"
2. The O' Jays " I Love Music"
3. The Black Crowes "She Talks To Angels"
4. John Lee Hooker "Boom Boom"
5. Green Day "Long View"
6. Meghan Trainor "Like I'm Gonna Lose You"
7. ZZ Top "La Grange"
8. Robert Cray "Phone Booth"
9. Salt-N-Peppa "Push It"
10. The Ramones "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker"
Well. I wish you the best with your band, you take care and stay safe.
nirvana come as you are would be a fun song to perform but I'm not sure if that song is popular at my school mainly everyone listens to rap but maybe the band could do it the bass is really catchy and gives you those good band vibes
the o jays i should've seen that coming to this song is actually one of my favorites my mom would play this song in the car and its fun to dance to but the drums in the background my band has no drums and the drums really keep you on beat but maybe we could make some adjustments
the lyrics to she talks to angels by the black crows that would be a slow and easy song to start off with as a warmup
boom boom by john lee hooker i KNOW this song i have it on a playlist here in the pandora playlist swap or community i discovered this artist by a book i read "revolution"" its a good book but im not sure if i could sing this song its gotta be school appropriate
long view by green day our bass player is a beginner and these lyrics id have to do some improvising but then there's the drums again i dont have drums (supposingly a while back my school had a drum group but i think they were seniors so there gone)
i cant sing this song i might end up crying in the middle (only because breakups **ahem**)
i could only find a live version to la grange im not sure if pandora has a copy of this song that isn't live recording
it would be fun to make a parody to this song phone booth i like this song but is this electric guitar or bass played on really high notes???
i dont have the guts to sing ""push it"" in front of a crowd but i can definitely make a parody to this song everybody would recognize the tune
the ramonesssss why didn't i think of them my favorite song by them is "" i wanna be sedated"" but this song is really repetitive and people might walk away or sing along im not sure of the outcome if i were to perform this song but since its repertive itd be easy to memorize this song has cons and pros
well you're song selections really helped me figure out what type of songs that my band could perform and what type of music variety i want the band to play from this i was able to think of songs like ""dont stop believing by journey otherside by the red hot chili peppers, underpressure by queen also another one bites the dust by queen. im going to definitely going to come back to u if i need anymore help because i need all the help i can get.
thank you so much
@Listener001 What genres do you want to cover? I have a station if you wanna do the kind of music I listen to. It's called Dynasty Radio. When you get there, go to crowd favorites. Listen to that for approximately 2.5 hours ALL TOGETHER. You don't have to in one sitting. Hope this helps!
Thank you for this suggestion. I'm listening to it right now. I can listen to it for about 30 minutes right now cause I'm in math tutoring. The first song I'm hearing on this is "Hold On" by Chord Overstreet. It's a nice song to start off with. Also, the next song that showed up is Prom Queen by Molly Kate Kestner. I'm very familiar with this song id love to see this for the band. Ill continue giving updates as I'm listening.
oh and a heads up so far my band has found a few possible songs. What we have so far is
"Rises the Moon" by Liana Flores and possibly "A million dreams" by Pink from The Greatest Showman.
I would suggest "Lucky" by Jason Mraz. It's a pretty song. It's an older song but I've heard it covered at a coffee shop a few years back and the artist did a great job with it.

What have you done to make your digestive system less effective than in your youth?
Due to aging, lousy nutrition, and chronic stress, our bodies have become incapable of doing basic tasks.
The symptoms of poor digestion include constipation, diarrhea, and those that mimic it. When our digestive system isn’t working correctly, we may experience bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, and weight gain.
EZ Digest is an all-natural supplement that may be taken with meals or as a stand-alone supplement for those who want to keep their digestive system healthy. One of the most effective digestive formulas on the market, simple Digest combines essential minerals and vitamins. EZ Digest supports the digestion of proteins, carbs, dairy, lipids, and fiber.

VELIKY NOVGOROD, January 15 (Itar-Tass) - Ukraine has extradited to Russia an alleged criminal gang leader, Nikolai Kravchenko, who was charged with orchestrating a high-profile murder back in 1996, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office said in a statement on Wednesday.
Kravchenko was on the international wanted list since 2009. He was detained last spring in Ukraine, where he had fled shortly before that hoping to obtain the status of a refugee. Ukraine refused to have him, though. Last November Ukraine gave the green light to the extradition of Kravchenko upon Russia’s request.
Investigators claim that Kravchenko, known in the Russian criminal world under the nickname of ‘Kolya the Devil’, led one of the criminal gangs in the Veliky Novgorod region, in central Russia. The Russian authorities hold him responsible for masterminding the murder of a local businessman.
The businessman was shot dead at a car fuelling station by two gunmen, acting on orders from Kravchenko, investigators said. One of the attackers was killed in 2000, while the other, Kravchenko’s bodyguard, was arrested and sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2010.

Girls tennis is in a golden era at Corvallis High School.
The Spartans have won four consecutive 5A championships, and with a deep roster of 38 that is fortified with state contenders, they are in position to extend their supremacy.
Corvallis is just rolling along, picking up steam, with a carefully cultivated team atmosphere that is fueled by a connection with Timberhill Tennis Club.
“They’re the foundation of a lot of kids being interested in tennis because they have a place where they can play year-round,” said Donna Keim, who enters her fourth season as the team’s coach. “All my kids that do well in tennis have been involved from middle school on, if not earlier, and a lot of it is because it’s easily accessible here.”
The Spartans’ lineup is led by senior Anna Kern, who has signed to play at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (Calif.), last year’s NCAA Division III champion. The 6-foot left-hander has won three Mid-Willamette Conference district titles and played in three 5A finals, winning the last two.
Kern grew up in a tennis family and has extensive experience playing in regional and national tournaments. Three times she made the USTA Pacific Northwest Intersectional team.
“Athletically, to have that kind of body type where you can cover so much of the court makes a huge difference,” Keim said of Kern. “She has tournament experience and knows that she can do it. She’s lost a lot of games along the way, especially nationally, but it just makes her tougher.”
Anna’s sister, Tessa, last year’s district and state runner-up, has moved on to play in college at Linfield. But Corvallis has another rising contender in junior Journey Lipscomb.
Lipscomb -- the daughter of Hunter Lipscomb, the director of tennis operations at Timberhill -- chose soccer over tennis for about five years until deciding to pick up the racket again as a freshman at Corvallis.
“She had the foundation of tennis, but she loved soccer,” Keim said.
After a successful freshman season in which she made the state tournament, Lipscomb dedicated more time to tennis and took a big step forward as a sophomore, making the state semifinals before falling to Tessa Kern in straight sets.
“She’s a very conscientious, very focused player, but she had been away from the sport,” Keim said. “She has totally immersed herself in tennis.”
The Spartans also return the state-champion doubles team of senior Olivia McGough and junior Sarah Forester. As a freshman, Forester was the No. 1 singles player at Crescent Valley before transferring as a sophomore and teaming up with McGough, a partner she had during summer tennis tournaments.
“I call them the twin towers,” Keim said. “With their wingspan across the court, just getting the ball past them is tough.”
