<0> Well, it would certainly be helpful to be able to start the desktop :)
<1> Teckla: I think u want gnome2
<1> Teckla: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html
<0> CStubing: Ah...thank you
<1> yep
<2> so stupid C doesn't allow 1_000_000 for large numbers
<3> oh no. that's horrid.
<4> it allows anything.
<3> #define _1_000_000 1000000
<3> or #define MILLION 1000000 ;-)
<5> 1*MILLION*DOLLARS;
<1> #ifdef DR_EVIL
<6> #define AUSTIN_POWERS
<6> #endif
<7> ?
<8> #define MAKE_MILLIONS(x) (x*1000000)
<8> for some reason that seems funny to me
<5> thezog: heh, yeah.
<9> anyone got an XP iso?
<4> yes, several.
<9> gimmie plz plz plz
<4> i don't see you in the room. sorry.
<9> /dcc send zid_ ~/xp.iso
<9> :D
<9> aedinius?
<5> zid?
<9> aedinius: Got an XP iso anywhere?
<5> No, sorry.
<9> god damnit
<9> all my disks don't work
<5> I don't like Windows
<4> zid_: call microsoft.
<6> yeah microsoft has alot of xp cds i hear
<6> just a rumour tho
<9> twkm: "Hi microsoft, all the CD-Rs I burnt of XP are scratched, can you dcc me an iso?"
<6> a buddy got 200 xp cds frm ms
<6> for free
<2> microsoft is greedy
<4> ahh, you need to replace your stolen cd with another. sorry, that knocks me out.
<9> XP costs more than the machine i'm installing it onto
<6> may i suggest a free os?:)
<3> ubuntu!
<9> he can't use linux
<6> ubuntu rules
<6> zid_: that blows, there are other tho
<2> pirated windows is free, too!
<9> ooh I may have someone sending me it
<6> Aeon_ yes, for a while
<2> while(1)
<6> personally i wont use anyhting that calls home behind my back
<9> XP doesn't
<6> it does
<4> rip: so you don't use ubuntu? wow.
<9> they've already removed it, and I make sure to turn updates off
<2> i use Fedora
<6> twkm i do use it, but it doesnt call anywhere behind my back
<9> it only updates outlook and IE anyway, anything else is usualy malware
<2> it's ok
<6> i tried fedora
<6> and that maid me want to kill myself
<4> hahaha.
<6> but ppl like it hear
<2> i use RH since, like 2000
<6> its amatter of taste
<4> oh, goody, a distro-whine-fest.
<6> i guess
<2> so i'm comfortable with fedora
<6> whos whining?
<2> who's infedted ?
<2> *infested
<6> just beause i dont like smething it doesnt mean others dont
<10> I stuck to Gentoo since that was the only distribution ready for amd64 years ago, and I got used to its flaws and problems... mostly
<1> my only complaint is that emerge gets so slooooooooooooooow the more things you install
<6> i like bsd ports :)
<4> then you should have stuck with binary installs.
<2> i compile lots of things from sources without any packaging system
<2> just ./configure && make && make install
<10> CStubing, I didn't emerge world for some 2 years, and when I did... warning and error messages popped up everywhere and various things broke, but it's still usable :)
<10> My desktop probably could use a clean-up
<1> twkm: I'm not talking about the inherent slowness of source-based packages versus binaries.. I'm talking about the actual slowness of their package system in calc-ing dependencies, etc
<10> Quite, it's written in Python after all
<1> Maloeran: I'm the same way.. ain't broke, don't fix it. ;)
<2> vim author uses freebsd, too
<1> hehe... I like freebsd alot for servers, but not for a workstation.
<0> Woot, as I use vim as well :)
<11> hi (:
<2> "Most said they became better, kinder, happier people in the weeks after the psilocybin session -- a fact corroborated by family and friends."
<2> "The researchers also noted no permanent brain damage or negative long-term effects stemming from use of psilocybin."
<0> What's psilocybin?
<2> news.google.com->psilocybin
<12> it's a precursor to psilocin
<13> I hate life.
<2> try psylocybin
<13> Really, I *HATE* life...
<2> are you suicidal ?
<13> No... just friggen pissed off.
<14> Aeon with the tact.
<15> zid_ I think you should kill Maloeran in IRC RPG
<12> maybe another markov chain bot would make things look brighter
<14> MarkT-: Trouble finding work, I guess?
<13> Two: that too... but I'm pissed off about something else at the moment.
<2> Tell us
<13> The hockey pool that I came in second on... the one where I will win a nice fat ebay gift certificate...? Well, ebay called me, and I wasn't home. I've been trying to return the call now for two days, and nobody's there. All I have is a direct line to the individual that tried to call me, so I can't get a switchboard or anything to transfer me to someone else.
<4> CStubing: ahh. i guess that's sad too. yet perhaps also avoided with binary packages.
<13> I've left 3 messages now.
<14> That sounds like a small annoyance.
<13> This pisses me off because there is a limited time to respond after being contacted before they consider the prize forfeited.
<2> Can you email them, or like ?
<16> Mark, email them?
<13> (sigh)
<2> Get cellular
<14> "All I have is a direct line"
<14> Can you people read?
<2> RTFM ?
<2> no way
<13> I wish she'd given me the number for the switchboard instead...
<13> then I could have spoken to anybody.
<14> MarkT-: You can ask the phone directory for the company at which a number is
<1> there used to be a reverse-tel search at anywho.com
<2> MarkT-: is it ebay.ca, or ebay.com ?
<1> might still work
<13> ebay canada
<2> can you drive there ?
<13> No.
<13> It's too far.
<13> It's on the other side of the country from where I am.
<2> ah, canada
<13> Ah.... superpages has a phone number for ebay canada...
<13> Maybe I could try that.
<2> How much do they owe you ?
<13> $1750
<9> got one going 400k/sec :d
<14> That was relevant, zid.
<13> I've kinda already mentally spent this money too, so it'd be a major downer if I didn't get it.
<13> okay... I'll try this ebay canada phone number... at the very least I can probably be transferred to somebody that'll help me.
<1> sure you can
<1> just click your heels together three times...
<9> can you burn a cd-r iso to a DVD and have it boot?
<17> sure why not
<5> zid_: Yeah, sure.
<4> modulo trying to use it in a cd-rom drive.
<13> (sigh)
<13> It's just a freakin' computer system.... no human help whatsoever.
<13> So now I have a number for a human that doesn't answer the phone and a number for a computer that gives me no option to talk to a person and no category that's relevant to why I was calling.
<18> press 0
<13> Doesn't do anything.
<19> MarkT-: what are you bitching about?
