Hello! Sorry to ask such strange questions, but I can't answer the question correctly when registering on the forum: "The program first loaded off of a disk when booting your computer is known as an <answer>." the answer "bootloader" doesn't work. Please help with registration.
<heat>
iirc the answer is MBR
<heat>
which is WRONG
<Mutabah>
Well... it's right, for x86 BIOS systems
<Mutabah>
but so out of date
<Igor2351553>
the answers of "bootloader" and "mbr" are not correct. And which one is the right one?

xvmt has joined #osdev
<Igor2351553>
Sorry, I almost translated it wrong, what is the correct answer?
<zid>
Not our farm not our horse. heat thinks it's MBR.
<heat>
it might be case sensitive
<heat>
but yeah we don't control the forums
<Igor2351553>
I understood. But I need to register somehow....
<Mutabah>
Maybe it's "master boot record"? although, that's not gramatically correct (for it to be "an X" the answer needs to start with a vowel sound)
<Mutabah>
Igor2351553: Why do you "need" to register?
<zid>
Need to tell some guy how wrong they are
<zid>
the only reason to register to any forum
<Igor2351553>
Mutabah, Firstly, I find forums convenient for asking questions that I can't find an answer to, and secondly, maybe I should choose a different word for this.
<zid>
yea IRC is a bit too ephemeral sometimes
<heat>
yeah how can you effectively tell a guy to fuck off if he DC'd and as such can't see your message
<heat>
so sad.

<Igor2351553>
heat, Do you think my question is not appropriate here? As far as I understand, no one wants or knows the answer that will be accepted by the bot protection.
<heat>
your question is definitely appropriate
<heat>
but we don't control the forums
<heat>
and i created my account *checks* 10 years ago
<zid>
should I try to sign up and see if I can do a few guesses
<Mutabah>
I was a mod, but I can't find record of the Captcha answer :(
<zid>
You have provided an invalid answer to the question. -> bootloader
<zid>
You have provided an invalid answer to the question. -> master boot record
<Mutabah>
But... mbr or MBR sounds right assuming the quesion has "an" at the end?
<heat>
try MBR
<zid>
MBR
<GeDaMo>
Try Boot loader
<heat>
all caps
<zid>
boot loader worked
<zid>
with a space
<zid>
and no caps
<GeDaMo>
:D
<Mutabah>
Oof, nasty
<zid>
we should put it in the fuckin topic before we forget again lol
<heat>
an boot loader
<heat>
huh.
<zid>
AN BOOT LOADER
<heat>
i wonder if they changed it
<GeDaMo>
Is there only the one question?
arminweigl has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<heat>
and now it's grammatically fucked
<zid>
I think it's een that question for a while now
<zid>
cus I remember like.. 2 other people having the same issue
<heat>
yeah but the answer might've been changed
<Igor2351553>
Yeah, I know. But someone answered and registered... so either someone knows the answer or I'd like to contact whoever is monitoring them. Hopefully one of those will work.

Igor2351553: i just figured it out for you, it's 'boot loader'
<GeDaMo>
I helped :P
<zid>
(well, gedamo did, but I swear that was my next guess)

zid, It seems that now the forum is telling me time out.(with this answer)
<zid>
which means it didn't reject it, it's just not working :P
<zid>
maybe russia or wherever is banned
<Mutabah>
Try in a few hours, or tomorrow
<Mutabah>
The forum has had some serious spam problems, and there's a lot of protections in place to avoid them
