how do i make my windows 7 pc ask for a password upon startup
Control Panel > User Accounts > Set a password
the admin account (the only account) is already password protected. it says i can change my password? but there's no checkbox there for ask-on-startup
I dunno that there's another way to have a password except the login screen
Unless you set a BIOS password
i'm fine with a login screen password. what i'm saying is my computer boots straight to windows, even though it says the only account is password-protected.
Wait, is it the literal "Administrator" account, or the "Oganichu" account, that has administrator privileges.
Cause, uh, you probably shouldn't use the machine admin account as your only one.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I can't see a reasonable justification for not letting the pilot take the controls in an emergency until we have SkyNet level cyborgs flying planes.
because the situations where computers fail are also situations where humans do even worse. That is the real reason why computerization built on the assumption of handing control to the human during a crisis is not a panacea.
humans diagnose risks based on heuristics and experience. But computers are even better at scanning heuristics and recording experience than humans. Their limits are in sensory input and adaptation to unusual circumstance
IAPW the computer informs the human operator on what its programmers think is going on at the moment at all times, but that would require considerable advances in user interface design
I can see an argument for an emergency override for that 1% or 2% of the time the human has to do something crazy to try and reduce damage or save the plane. Computers are great 98% of the time and will fix problems but there is a reason we keep a human in the front of the plane still, sometimes a humans intuition due to years of practice and training will work out and save a plane where a computer won't.
These situations are rare but I rather error on having a robust computer but a manual override when needed and usually only after the computer is already failing.
The thing that worries me is that by having the computer in control 98% of the time we are reducing the experience of the actual pilot population. At a certain point the pilots will have so little experience they are probably NOT the better choice in an emergency. There was at least one case this year where the pilots assumed direct control and did the exact opposite of what they should have.
And the additional factor of every recovered black box leads to updates and refinements in the rest of the fleet, whereas even if the pilot survives, ensuring that all other pilots learn from the mistake is probably harder than just updating some firmware.
Part of the problem with modern airframes is that it is possible (and frequently desirable) to design a plane which requires machine translation of control inputs, because the plane does not respond linearly, consistently, or intuitively at certain attitudes.

all i know is first we let them fly our planes and drive our cars and then we're all little more than processor cores in their giant cloud computing infrastructure while we waste away living in a dream world
Allegedly a voice of reason.

I said it late last night, but Gone Home is a spectacular experience, even if it's not really a game, and is worth the 90 minutes of your time and 6-10 bucks it costs. I want to support projects like this in hopes that they find mainstream appeal.

also it was really convenient on my parents' imac to have my own account with all my stuff on it when i was home for xmas and fast user switching on os x it like bloop floop easy
it started out as a disaster movie with a massive flood
i think josh hartnett or someone like that was in it idk why?
but he was promptly forgotten that was just the setup
being washed down the flood
cuz then it became first person pov and like it was survival in a forest
there were dinosaurs and traps and tribal ppl with arrows
many bros died
also was in communication with j'onn the martian manhunter telepathically
made my way to this massive tree of knowledge or something and climbed it (by leaping up to different branches ??)
and then there was a platform at the top of the trunk where i sat on it and meditated
then i woke up and it was still 530am

Set up a different account called Organichu. Give it admin privileges. Don't use your administrator account as your only account.
Do I have to that sounds like an awful lot of work.
Yeah, honestly for win7 if you don't have a user account you've kind of stopped before the installation was complete.

Blaming a pilot is easy.
Trying to figure out who to blame when a computer derps out is hard.
And this is america, so we have to blame someone.
the company who programmed the computer
To be fair to @Aioua it is pretty hard still to figure out which company programmed a particular module. There is an amazing amount of paperwork to contain all of the traceability, but often the tools selected to contain this traceability are awful pieces of garbage. Compounded with the reality that the humans generating the traceability often fudge things or make data-entry errors.
Like, it took Boeing a few weeks to figure out it was a contractor in Tucson, AZ that was at least most responsible for the battery fires.

I have one account called John and it says administrator

why would you have a second account
you don't need to I think they think he activated the root style admin account and I don't think he did because that is sort of a pain vs just making a normal user account with admin privs
to cut to the heart of the matter, what folders are in c:\Users\

you don't want to use the only admin account as your main account because if you get a virus that fucks with privileges or whatever you're basically screwed
but i think you have to intend to use the admin account on win 7, and if you didn't intend to, you probably aren't

though I'm not sure exactly when the decision to
so some of it might be intentional foreshadowing instead of accidental.

Posted from a Frankenstein project of a computer I build with glue, paperclips, and cum.
Lots and Lots of cum.

it's a surprisingly effective heatsink
As we learned in the holiday forum, elf cum is pretty high octane.

I want to take a girl to the cinema and have her leave in a huff without me noticing because the movie enraptured me
Thermal cumpound
I was watching that show recently on Netflix, and assuming what I read was true, her being fired was rather sudden.
Incidentally, I lost all interest in the show after she left. :P
Do I have to that sounds like an awful lot of work.
that was a stretch even by my standards
boring italian place
boring mexican place
shitty fast food
drive eight miles one way for shawarma
move to a more cosmopolitan city
dont worry ludious
macs are best fyi hth

this is probably what he's done, I wanna say windows 7 requires some tinkering to enable the built-in admin account.

Unfortunately I can't play it over the holidays because it is unoptimized and won't play worth a damn on my laptop.

why would you have a second account
did you actually enable the administrator account or did you just name an account admin and give it admin privileges

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
okay yeah, that makes more sense
but i think you have to intend to use the admin account on win 7, and if you didn't intend to, you probably aren't
i did this when i first set up my computer
but then it annoyed me sometimes so i just made my 2nd account an admin one too i dont need to be inconvenienced

some company laptops seem set up to do so, too
