Windows 7 SP1

Post by lancelot »

Has anyone installed the SP1? I have downloaded it, it loads about five files but I do not know waht to do with them. Before I make a mess, maybe somebody could advise?

There is:
Win7 SP1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxchk.symbols
Win7 SP1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxfre.symbols
SQL server
windows6.1xxxxxxxxx-86

and two read me's which are garbage.
I do have no idea what to do with these things.

Yes well it's not like W7 was Vista in the first place and all the updates you do overtime are just compacted into one bundle known as SP1 so you really don't need to download the whole thing. Just know that it's a grouping of individual updates. They just test the service packs to make sure that installing 100+ updates at once won't destroy your windows install.

Install it and it'll be fine-just be patient and leave it complete. If you don't youll pay.

50-70 odd megs I rate. Nothing much really and worth the extra few patches. Win7 needs it.

Nah, he got in a fight with some forum members a while back and decided to leave PCF, but before he left he deleted (edited) each and every one of his posts. :shrug:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eccentricity (behavior)

In popular usage, eccentricity refers to unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual. This behavior would typically be perceived as unusual or unnecessary, without being demonstrably maladaptive. Eccentricity is contrasted with "normal" behavior, the nearly universal means by which individuals in society solve given problems and pursue certain priorities in everyday life. People who consistently display benignly eccentric behavior are labeled as "eccentrics".

Etymology

From Medieval Latin eccentricus, derived from Greek ekkentros, "out of the center", from ek-, ex- "out of" + kentron, "center". Eccentric first appeared in English in 1551 as an astronomical term meaning "a circle in which the earth, sun, etc. deviates from its center." Five years later, in 1556, an adjective form of the word was added. 129 years later, in 1685, the definition evolved from the literal to the figurative, and eccentric began being used to describe unconventional or odd behavior. A noun form of the word – a person who possesses and exhibits these unconventional or odd qualities/behaviors – didn't appear until 1832.
Depictions of eccentricity

Eccentricity is often associated with genius, intellectual giftedness, or creativity. The individual's eccentric behavior is perceived to be the outward expression of their unique intelligence or creative impulse.[1] In this vein, the eccentric's habits are incomprehensible not because they are illogical or the result of madness, but because they stem from a mind so original that it cannot be conformed to societal norms. English utilitarian thinker John Stuart Mill wrote that "the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigour, and moral courage which it contained",[2] and mourned a lack of eccentricity as "the chief danger of the time".[3] Edith Sitwell wrote that eccentricity is "often a kind of innocent pride", also saying that geniuses and aristocrats are called eccentrics because "they are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd".[4] Eccentricity is also believed to be associated with great wealth. What would be considered to be signs of insanity in a poor person is generally accepted as eccentricity in these people.[5]

Okay, Sojourn said it all. Let's stick to discussion about SP1 and leave the dots alone, okay?
