Yup. Dropbox has become my necessity tool for school. I don't have to carry a USB with me at all times and it can be accessed from the university computers. Plus, you can share folders with groups/partners on projects.
The scaling was a huge fake out since you could do a hidden attack with a projectile and probably one hit any guy in the game including bosses.
Leveled scaling makes it seem like you aren't gaining as much as you should have, or the game world is stagnant. If you start out a weakling at the beginning, you should grow more powerful than enemies by the end. It also spells out lack of diversity in enemies. I'd take richer, progressively hard enemies over a handful of enemies that only present a challenge because they scaled to you.
Mixed drinks. Pain killer can be make in bulk one in Americano Casino (the one right next to the starting area). it gives full health back plus HUGE reduction in damange. Pain Killer + Knife Glove = dead psychopath.
However, each psychopath does indeed have a pattern that you can learn. For example, Randy (the rabbit guy with the chainsaw), you can jump over the dividers until he gets tired then just whack him once and run. Rinse & repeat.
So...STOP using guns. The only real gun that is a benefit would probably be a shotty and that's for clearing regular zombies.
" @Red: Doesn't Firefly only have like one season? Is it really worth it? I don't want to be invested in characters which only last a very short time. "
What kind of question is that? Of course it's worth it. Plus, then you can finish off the series by watching Serenity.
If you liked Deadwood, check out Justified with Timothy Olypant. The first season just ended and second season will begin in Feb.
Dexter is 5 seasons in and it's great. The Wire as suggested by other people. Sherlock, the updated BBC series. It only has 3 episodes for the first season (or series for our English friends).
You have a source. The recovery partition is still active. You can select it from the GRUB and restore the machine to factory default (however you risk at worst losing everything with a glimmer of hope that the restore will back whatever is in the old Windows partition). Looking at the output, it might still be possible to salvage the Windows side, but you'll have to dick around with GRUB to figure out if you can boot the Windows partition.
Wait. So, you ran the fdisk -l command? It shows 1 FAT32, 2 NTFS?
If you're basing what partitions are on the actual drive on the GRUB menu then it's wrong. The reason why it's saying there's a missing device is because it can't find the partition. I want to know if the partitions are there. If they aren't then you wiped it when installing Jolicloud. The only thing to do is to reinstall Windows (means you lost everything on the Windows side).
Sorry to say this, but it is looking like you might have wiped the Windows partition. Just to double check.
If you can get into Jolicloud and to the Terminal, we can find out if the NTFS partition for the Windows drive is still there. To find the Terminal from the Dashboard, go to Local Apps > More Apps > Scroll down to Terminal and double click on it.
At the prompt, type:
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
That's a lowercase L. Enter the password for the account when prompted. This will list the partitions and give an indication of where it's located. The first partition should be NTFS since that's the recovery partition (you'll need it to restore Win XP, if that's what you want). Check to see if any other NTFS partitions are listed on there and that should be the Win XP partition. If the Windows XP partition is still there, we can set it up in GRUB2. If it's not there then you wiped it.
What was the Windows version? You never gave us that information. The recovery CD for 7/Vista can be found fairly easily. The XP recovery diskettes (yes, DISKETTES) are a bit harder to find. They can help restore the boot manager, which is what is messed up.
Another method is to fix Grub. Grub is probably already installed when you installed Jolicloud. I think Jolicloud installs Grub Legacy. The way to fix Grub would be to find the menu.lst or the grub.conf configuration file (usually located in /boot/grub/ ) then add the necessary lines to delay the grub loader and to boot to the Windows partition.
You would need to make sure the timeout is set to 30 (timeout 30) and add this at the bottom when you find the config file.
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
makeactive chainloader +1
Note the (hd0,5). The "hd0" is the hard drive and the 5 the partition. So, if the partition is on the first disk and first partition, it would be (hd0,0). Second disk, second partition would be (hd1,1).
Edit: Just installed Jolicloud in a VM to check. The newest version uses GRUB2, ugh...so nvm about using the previous info that only works with Grub Legacy. There should be a way to add the Windows partition in GRUB2 as well, but I haven't played with it that much.
You should hold down "shift" during boot to get the grub2 menu. That should allow you to select the Windows partition, since during the grub install that should have been found automatically.
It could mean 1. if your hard drive is IDE/PATA then it has died and the system can't detect it or 2. you're using a SATA drive and it's not detected (it doesn't mean the drive is dead).
If you need, you can try running the Windows 7 repair and see if it 1. detects the hard drive and 2. can repair anything.
