<1> meh
<1> freakshow.
<1> that dude was nuts.
<2> hi all
<3> hey how do i change the text color for everyone but me.. like by command rather than using the GUI
<1> not in a good way, like scary crazy
<1> that dude was just plain off the rocker.
<2> )
<1> hey Cognition
<4> hi
<1> what's up
<4> i rescued an old rusty laptop that i found in the basement
<4> Debian brought it back to life
<1> no way
<1> what specs?
<4> it's like pentium II
<1> sweet!
<1> wireless?
<5> [root@melvin samba]# smbmount //macola/Macapps /home/melvin/share -o username=melvin
<5> -bash: smbmount: command not found
<4> cpu MHz : 298.675 that's from the proc
<0> Cognition: (I forgot if I've asked this before :P) Are you in Pittsburgh?
<1> hrmmm
<1> so what the hell is it?
<1> 233?
<1> 333?
<4> linix: are you kidding? it's a PII, i'm luck i have a damn usb port
<1> Cognition: that doesnt mean it didn't come with wireless card or something
<4> linix: nope, no wirless card
<4> no ethernet card for that matter
<1> hm
<1> that ****s.
<4> it had an old external ethernet card withit
<1> where do you live?
<1> ..if i may?
<4> PA
<1> i've got an older Linksys pcmcia wired ethernet card if you want it
<1> pay for shipping and it's yours
<1> i picked it up at a sale
<4> nah, thanks anyway
<1> :)
<1> just thought i'd offer
<4> the only thing i paid for is a new harddrive
<4> i'm not spending another dime on this thing
<4> although i'm chatting to you from it :)
<1> hrm, how'd you get it online then?
<4> told ya, external ethernet card
<1> ahh
<1> then you don't need it
<1> :)
<1> i was going to say, ethernet card shouldn't cost more than maybe $2-3
<1> to ship it
<1> hell i'd probably just cover it myself if you really needed it
<5> Starting SMB services: [FAILED]
<5> Starting NMB services: [ OK ]
<1> but you don't so no point :P
<6> Cognition: pcmcia ?
<1> Routermen: good evening
<1> or...morning..something like that
<6> linix: good afternoon
<1> Routermen: 01:37 here :D
<6> 01:37 pm here
<1> ah, that's cool
<4> Routermen: yes
<4> Routermen: not only does it _not_ have a builtin wireless, it doesn't even have an RJ45 outlet
<4> But ... it has debian, so it kicks ***
<6> Cognition: well i bet it has serial i/o .. which is great for hooking up routers/switch
<4> Nah, serial IO is very slow, and pretty much can't handle any new hardware
<6> yeah but still .. older laptops are robust .. long lasting piece of hardware
<6> not like todays laptop .. too fragile
<4> besides, i've everything i need. I won't use this PC to install games. I'll just use it for programming ***ignments and development, and to a lesser extent for chatting and networking
<4> Routermen: hmm, i tend to think the other way around
<4> it is true that old is gold, but _not_ when it comes to computers
<4> Routermen: robustness and fault tolerance in circiut design has come a long long way.
<6> mya father own a gateway's laptop .. and that darn thing fell off a table like .. more than 10 times .. yet still in good working condition
<4> Routermen: oh, the casing and rigidness, yes absolutely, the older PCs are better
<4> in fact, when i bought the 8086 (my first computer after the MSX) the case was really heavy, and i think it was like 4 mm thicker
<4> now, i still can't get the sound to work on this thing
<6> not sure about that tho .. but i think my 1st computer was and ibm 406sx .. i was 5 years old at that time ... i think .. i remember playing games like prince of persia and pacman ..
<4> prince of persia was my first PC game
<6> ^_^
<6> so do i
<4> it took ages to load :)
<4> but the thing that started it all ...
<4> good old pong
<6> it had fairly good graphics and sound fx
<4> man we came a long way huh
<4> until this day, nothing moves me like those old cl***ic games
<6> yeah hehe
<4> Monkey Island was my first ever adventure game, MAN it was a blast
<6> platform game right ?
<4> dune and duneII kick***
<6> kinda like mario
<4> Routermen: no, RPG
<6> my 1st consule rig was nintendo super famicom
<4> oh no, i cought on the very old Atari
<6> well actually it was my brother's
<4> and i still remember the (then) infamous game, Pit Fall :)
<4> man those memories are kicking in, i've never had as much fun in my life :)
<6> my fave game at that time was TMNT 3
<4> oh, that's very new in comparison to what i'm talking about
<4> i don't think you were even born when Pit Fall was out
<6> what year was it
<4> it's the very famous game with the explorer jumping on the crocodiles ..
<6> hold on imma google for more infos
<4> well the one i played was out in around 1982
<4> gosh i loved that Atari wooden box with those big*** control slides
<6> http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=360
<6> 1982
<6> hmm
<4> yup, that's my baby
<4> my childhood fantasy land :)
<6> my fave was legend of zelda
<6> for super famicom
<4> Oh, i got addicted on it
<4> i can't tell you how much i loved the music
<6> ^_^
<4> anyway, all RPG games are awesome. it's probably my favorite category of games
<4> Routermen: although it's an old game, you would still very much enjoy Monkey island, try all parts 1-4
<4> my favorite parts are of course 1 and 2, because they're the oldest, text based (text instead of actual voices)
<4> and my most favorite is 1
<6> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZwYmLdTtOc <-- this is the game i currently playing
<4> at the time, we didn't have VGA, the graphics were EGA and CGA, i'm not sure you even know what those are :)
<6> yes i do ... but when i started using the computer .. the technolgy was already using VGA format
<6> or is it SVGA
<4> well, they don't call anything SVGA anymore, it's just a common VGA :)
<7> Gm Al-Ashtar
<4> Anyway, time to let that old laptop rest, and the same goes for me
<8> On September 4, 2006 shortly after 11:00 AM local time, Irwin was killed in a marine accident while filming an underwater documentary in the Batt Reef off the Low Isles near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia. It is believed that a stingray barb penetrated his chest causing a fatal wound, though this has yet to be confirmed by Australian officials.
<6> hehe ok
<8> Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin, died.
<4> oh, no **** ...
<4> it's that famous crazy guy from discovery channel :(
<4> i loved'em
<8> yup
<8> me too
<8> I've always wanted a croc to eat him. :(
<4> oh you heartless bastard!
<8> but wtf !! stingray
<8> it's true
<4> LOL ok ..
<4> Al-Ashtar: oh by the way ... i was just talking to Routermen about saving an old laptop
<4> debian brought it back to life
<8> he's teasing the crocodiles, might as well just bite his leg.
<6> i;'ve heard rumors of irwin's death for almost 2 years ago .. this is the newest tho ..
<8> Cognition: yeah, debian is a lifesaver.
<8> it's not a rumor you moron, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Irwin
<6> 3 cheers to debian .. hep hep hura x 3
