Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

The Grand Tour series are loosely connected but Moonrise and Moonwar are a good start though. If you want to keep to that series move to the Silent War afterwards.

Mac or Windows?
Mac - you can just drag and drop the application folder from one HD to the other.
Windows - you need an installation disc or digital download installer
Whether either of these are "legal" depends entirely on the license you have
but I'm guessing that she no longer has the original license key, in which case both of these methods are illegal
which is why people need to keep their software licenses in a safe place
Does she not have the install media and product keys?
are you sure about that on the mac side?
I had an option to import all my shit from my old mac to my new mac and it installed all my programs and whatnot
I am glad that we are inching toward a future where it is like
what the fuck do I care what the key is
you have it in your records that I bought this shit
I will redownload it from your servers whenever I want
"can you transfer Microsoft Office over to the new hard drive? I don't have the CD"
makes computer techs want to stab you in the face
so you can tell your sister there's somebody on the internet who wants to stab her in the face
Yes.
Well, mostly.
You need to keep proof of ownership for your commercial software.
Usually this is a certificate of authenticity with the license key.
Or it can also be a proof of purchase.
Or a relationship certificate.
It can be paper or it can be a digital copy.
But if you don't have some proof of ownership, whichever method you use to transfer software from one HD to the other is illegal.
The transfer method has absolutely nothing to do with legality.
Can't you sue the police if they arrest you without grounds anyway?
Well initially they are building and sending up many small telescopes (like 16" in size) that can observe asteroids from earth orbit and also scoot over to them using a small rocket motor (doesn't take much thrust to move a scope that small).
Then working on robotic mining of near earth asteroids for volitiles like water (since it is not compressible, it costs upwards of $20,000 per liter to bring water into space from earth). Water and other volitiles will be collected in space and can be used there by future missions or sold to NASA or others.
Long term looking at mining stuff like platinum which is hell of abundant in many asteroids to bring back to earth.
hmm
i wonder how apple gets away with the program that basically replicates your old mac on the new one, with settings and programs and shit
surgery went well, and the biopsy results aren't in, but it's looking like it's cancer
Over here our rights in this respect are...ambiguous.
That doesn't make any good to the world
That sucks.
I have a purring April on the desk right now. *headbutts*
16" for the entire craft, not just the mirror (which is 9"). These are actually being manufactured now to be launched next year.
KAWAII.
Backup and restoration and imaging and cloning and deployment are all fully legal operations (as long as your software is properly licensed) and the presumption is that most people are just legally transferring software they fully own from one computer to another with the intent of wiping the old computer.
I'm not trying to be pedantic here, which is why I tried to answer the question simply. Mac - drag and drop application folder. Windows - reinstall from disc or installer. Keep your software safe from now on.
but that is what he is talking about?
transferring a program from the old computer to her new one
Looks like they're sexing chicks
I just read about them myself. This is about all I know:

That's so small! What kind of telescopes are they.
Yeah
PGM = Platinum Group Metals which are hella rare on earth's crust (presumably they're much more common in earth's core but it's much much easier to get to an asteroid)
I say this with a completely straight face: OSX has a way superior solution for applications. Nearly all of them are entirely self-contained in one single file (technically, it's a folder, with the binary plus all resources it needs in it), instead of crapping files all over the system.
Configuration? That's all in a PList file, stored in ~/Application Data/App Name/.
I know it is soooo much better
Oh, yeah, totally. And you don't get into ridiculous DLL conflicts.
Well, you don't with Windows 7 either, but that's because Windows 7 keeps separate DLL repositories in the Windows folder for different versions of installed applications which is the most ass-backwards way of handling a very simple problem.
how i bit for bit copy?
Like CCGs? Check my CCG's Thread in CF and help me playtest it!
no, seriously, bit-for-bit copy. When it's up and running on a separate partition, use something like this, or just accept the restored system as-is.
