我挺怕狗的，尤其是大狗
今天晚上回家晚了，路上没什么人
几个白人，带了2条狗，和我迎面走过来
他们狗都没牵绳，其中一条大狗直接就扑到我腿上了
我吓的叫了起来，其中一个白人女的很挑衅的看了我一眼
后面2个男的，叫了狗一声，然后狗离开了
连道歉都没有
我承认我很包子，看路上没人，他们有3个人，都很不nice
我没带手机，也没办法报警。我也没敢说什么，赶紧回家了。
大家遇到这种情况怎么办呀？
有时候我在公园也碰到人遛狗不牵绳的，而我们这个公园要求牵绳的
如果大家遇到不牵绳的大狗，会不会觉得很不舒服呀？
我是很怕大狗的，遇到这样的大狗我真的很害怕。

机器，包括之前的IBM Thinkpad。系统是win7联想RTM(Release to Manufacturing)版
的，貌似跟以前的OEM差不多一回事，自动激活，无需任何证书，通过微软验证，可升
级，没有时间限制。等同于正版。
安装基本分5步走，且听我慢慢道来。
前言：我们装的不是win7，是寂寞。
正文：
1.查看BIOS版本。
首先，查看你机器BIOS的SLIC版本（我也不小的这个slic是撒子意思）。
需下载的软件, SLIC Dump Tookit for x86 v1.05，运行如下图所示
下载地址：
http://www.rayfile.com/zh-cn/files/b5ff82fa-7e49-11de-b4ce-0014221b798a/
或自行搜索。
文件大小：812 K
下载完直接运行。大多数thinkpad机器的slic版本都是2.0的或者更低，包括我的T61也
不例外。我们要装的这个联想的win7需要slic2.1才能自动激活，那咋整哩？嗯，书上
说刷bios就能搞定（ |
