Ah, so that's how it's supposed to look! :P (I block all Facebook content on non-facebook sites.)

Indeed. I quite like how the new topic layout turned out! :)

I have to agree with groundup on his OOP stance here... (Probably not very suprising; I think I said something similar in another topic.)

I honestly just use vim most of the time. Steep learning curve, but quite the tool once you've gotten used to it, really. :)

This is one of those things that are probably better asked on SM.org, I think. :)

I hadn't noticed yet, by the way; I haven't really kept an eye on the team page recently.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Flash is being used to assist the media uploading process as well, i.e. to show progress bars.

If I were you, I'd probably make a complete binary copy of the entire disk with dd, so you actually have something to work with in case the drive fails completely...

Anyway, I'm off to bed, and I suggest you do the same. You'll have a sharper mind after a good night's rest. :)

No, no encryption on my hard drives. I can confirm.
Sorry to badger on, but are you absolutely sure? I mean, I know Firefox encrypts its password databases, as should any proper password manager.

Definitely try a non-Windows solution to try and recover more data, though.

I really wouldn't give up just yet. Just give Linux a shot already. I, for one, have much more faith in it when it comes to copying from a corrupt partition than I have in xcopy.

Fuck!!! The file that mattered the most -- my list of passwords, uh -- got corrupted... It was copied fine, but it's all a bunch of binary gibberish... :snif:
Are you sure that's not just because it's encrypted and you need a keyfile?

Linux -> Okay but I don't know a thing about Linux so I don't know which to use, how to install (I've got a self-booting copy of Mint on a USB key but my PC simply doesn't boot it...), and what to expect of it.
How did you put it on the thumbdrive? It does need a special loader.

And, while not helping, I must say I really am surprised to learn you don't seem to have any backups. :(

Oh, forgot to mention -- managed to retrieve C:, actually! The partition that was dead was another one (which didn't have a LOT of interesting data in it anyway), while C: itself was further down my partition list, so I didn't see it immediately.
That's good to hear. Losing 5 years of pictures would drive anyone mad. Now go make those backups you should've made years ago! ;)

Nao: have you tried accessing your harddrives from a Linux live cd or pen drive (e.g. Ubuntu)? I know, it might sound crazy, but that's how I usually recover data when a Windows machine fails to boot.

Of course, the success rate will depend on how broken the hardware is...

Never heard about this guy... ID #12 uh? Must have taken place years before I registered...
Tim's been around since YaBB, really. Up until a few years ago, the YaBB site even sported his design. He was one of the guys that pushed really hard for semantic XHTML and CSS in SMF back when work was still being done on the Core theme. Unfortunately, while meaning well, he ended up being perceived as not constructive and ... well, you know how the 1.1 Core theme turned out: while aesthetically pleasing, it used mostly tables for its layout.

(There's obviously more to this story, that's not for a public board, sorry. ;))

Saw the series as it aired. It was alright, I suppose, but not the kind of series you'll hear me praising or anything. Certainly wouldn't call myself a fan.
