<0> yup.
<0> long time ago :P
<1> :)
<0> :)
<2> So were you insulting me?
<0> i`m not. :)
<0> i told that you are not like that person
<0> even when i`m boring and asking all time.. u still help me..
<0> you got my respect
<3> here's the funny thing about my situation. I can solve most windows problems in a breeze. but when i have issues with 'nix I feel like a newb twerp
<2> Oh, I thought you called me a lamer for not banning or something. I was confused.
<3> (not saying newbs are twerps)
<4> agresor: I've only got two complaints with you. The first is that you could look more stuff up yourself. The other is thatyou could start helpin others more.
<0> i will :)
<0> sorry about that.
<4> I understand. :)
<5> hey jblack, how are you man :D
<0> huh... jblack u still can be on net.. i must sleep :)
<4> I'm ok. Waiting for my relacement keyboard so that I can getbac to hacing.
<4> This usb keyboard can't keep up with my typing.
<6> lol
<5> I can see you're not used to this keyboard from all the typos
<5> lol
<4> Yeah. It drops a lot of characters. Its also rather mushy.
<4> I don't think its the keyboard's fault. I suspect its the usb keyboard driver.
<6> got a couple good solid PS 2's
<6> you want one of them
<4> Like I said. I don't tink its the keyboard itself (though it plays a part).
<5> jblack: how is your kid ?
<7> lookingfordistro, I know this may sound odd, but is your configuration correct for your mouse?
<4> I am gonna go give a quick look for other keyboads in the house
<4> just in case its a lack of a keyboard buffer.
<6> well, I guarantee (SP?) there is no mushiness
<5> jblack: find /house -name keyboard
<7> lookingfordistro, have a quick look at this, see if it helps with your mouse problem --> http://panuganty.tripod.com/debiantips/mouse.htm
<6> thanks Boredboy
<4> Hmmmm. I don't like his one either. Its better than the other one though.
<4> Well, maybe I just have to give it time to get used to. Its at least smaller. :)
<1> ok, the show seems to be over. i have to leave now. bye everybody
<5> I have big fingers
<4> Al-Ashtar: When are we starting your programming lessongs?
<5> smaller keyboards don't work for me
<7> lookingfordistro, dunno if it'll help, been a while since I tried debian
<0> anyone had mambo/perl spreaders ?
<6> well, i'm using a PS/2 mouse, not USV
<6> *USB
<5> jblack: when I finish making my box do everything I want
<5> 3 things left
<2> I use a wireless USB mouse, but a PS/2 keyboard.
<5> ftp, dns, dhcpd
<8> If anyone know how I can install bootsplash on Fedora Core 5?
<7> lookingfordistro, not sure what debian uses, I guess it's xorg. try the xorgconfig app to configure it
<6> tried that. I've tried every option in there, but when I go to boot gdm it comes up and says, "Unable to detect device" and then Unable to load device: "/dev/input/mice"
<6> regardless of whether or not I point it to /dev/input/mice
<5> X --configure or xf86cfg or xf86config or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
<6> did that.
<6> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 is now ingrained in my skull
<4> BLAH
<4> its not the keyboards. Its this ps2 to usb adaptor.
<7> lookingfordistro, does /dev/input/mice exist?
<6> yes
<4> Al-Ashtar: Are you serious?
<5> X -configure # will work
<6> hell, I am to the point of being willing to give a total stranger SSH access to this to figure it out
<5> jblack: about the 3 things ?
<4> Oh, there we go. Its better if I unplug the adaptor and plug it back in. :)
<4> No, that you aren't ready to start yet.
<5> jblack: yeah, I'm taking this one step at a time
<6> jblack: was that to me?
<4> lookingfordistro: no.
<4> Ok. Is there someone else that wants to start up C++ cl***es?
<5> lookingfordistro: don't ever do that
<9> jblack, I'd _love_ to
<4> you? seriously?
<6> I'm a little too trusting sometimes. But if worse comes to worse, after SSH I can always zerofill and install winblows
<9> unfortunately... I'm stuck in the middle of some php
<6> jblack, will your C++ cl***es touch on AI?
<9> seriously..... I've been taught properly. I'll be the 1st to admit I'm a hack at C++
<9> I've _never_ been
<4> Heh. If you make it that long, sure. :)
<6> lol
<6> and they are free of charge, yes?
<4> Yeah. They're free. But I've got a few rules.
<6> well, shoot, I'm former military, I can handle rules
<4> 1. You have to be on time. 2. you don't waste my time by skipping appointments. 3. You have to _really_ do homework to the best of your ability.
<6> alrighty. But I have some counter rules.
<6> that I require of any cl*** i take
<4> i.e. if you're supposed to read something, you have to really try and read it. Not eye service to "I read the individual words"
<6> 1. You have to actually teach. Meaning, you have to have a good background in your subject matter not teaching out of a book.
<9> heh
<7> lookingfordistro, did you try cat /dev/input/mice (probably need to be root)
<6> 2. Don't waste my time. Do NOT spend 2 weeks going over the same details
<4> around around for people I've taught before.
<6> Boredboynot yet.
<6> my cluster is out in my garage, and my main box is in, my bedroom
<7> lookingfordistro, alright
<6> *writes it down for 1 hour in the future reference*
<6> Jblack: I agree to your rules. Do my counters seem reasonable to you?
<9> ehsan-bot-b, how's it going?
<7> lookingfordistro, am reading this thread --> http://www.archivesat.com/Debian_users_support/thread867738.htm
<4> Nope. I refer to books constantly.
<4> I typically keep a half dozen or so next to my desk. Its hard to remember offhand which accessors apply to which stl types, for example.
<4> And I wouldn't want to implement an observer pattern from memory.
<6> No, I meant by that, YOU personally have to have a background in the subject matter (In this case C++) So that way if I ask a question about say Arrays, I know that you can help me through it. Refrences are good. Teaching word for word from a book = bad
<4> Oh, you're referring to milstyle teaching. Of course not.
<6> milstyle?
<4> military style.
<6> ah. yeah
<4> I hated that (I'm retired navy, as it happens).
<7> jblack, can I join in when you get to multi threaded programming? haven't gotten around to learning that yet
<4> actually, military teaching was better than what I've seen in some trade cl***es.
<6> former marine corps
<6> It was good for what it taught
<4> board: You're already good with c++?
<4> s/board/bored.
<4> phonetic typo.
<7> jblack, used to work with it a bit, but that was a few years ago. Might need to refresh my memory on it
<4> what languages are you still fresh on?
<6> bbiaf, gonna go try cat.
<7> unfortunately these days it's mostly web stuff (php, asp, jsp). Still use C for daemons, sometimes java ...
<4> I'm checking to see if you have a clear understanding of memory addressing. If you don't have a clear understanding of the difference between & and *, then threading isn't a good thing to work with.
<7> it depends on the app I'm writing and os
<4> Mind if I probe you real quick?
<7> errrmmm..., this should be good for a laugh
<7> go ahead
<7> lets see how much I've forgotten
<4> Ok. Lets start easy. :)
<4> char *this;
<4> What is that?
<7> pointer to a char called this
<4> Ok. And what is char ** this?
<7> nngh, how to describe this one. pointer to a pointer, think you can also call it a dereferenced pointer?
<4> You're right, that its a pointer to a pointer.
<4> And yeah, * is the dereference operator.
<4> as in:
<4> char * this;
<7> usually use them if I'm working with linked lists and want to reset things etc
<4> this = getastring();
<4> actually, let me use an int pointer. ;)
<7> :)
<7> brb, my import app has finished, want to check it went right
<4> Nah. I'd have to actually write a program. Irc isn't a great way to think it through.
<4> Basically though, you use pointers of pointers when you have a series of char *s. For example, getopt uses it to parse argv.
<4> (argv can be represented as a char ** argv, or as char * argv[])
<7> yea, generally I use 2nd one
<4> in simpler words, an arrway of strings.
<4> thought yo uwent to check something
<7> have the select's pre-written
