<0> ReactOS seems kind of cool.
<1> flyback-: wipe your mouth, there's still a tiny bit of bull**** around your lips.
<0> phire: Where did that come from?
<1> Just picking on flyback-
<0> I wonder how secure ReactOS is.
<2> reactOS is still alpha, isnt it?
<3> W00t
<4> w11t
<3> SPENT 1 HR looking for a missing atx case
<0> No clue. I just stumbled on the website and thought it was a neat concept.
<3> turns out I already cleaned, dried and sealed it up and put it off the side
<3> so might install my duron 1300 in it tonight or wait till tomarrow
<3> dunno yet
<0> It will take you a month to get it going, lol.
<3> na
<3> everything already cleaned and fixed for it
<3> might take a month to debug though
<3> since it's a k7s5a :P
<3> BWHAHAHHA
<3> I love it
<3> they can't wait to fall over themselves to support liberman during the disputed 2000 presidental election
<0> Do you still like your Sempron?
<3> but liberman dare agree with bush on the war and it's "OFF WITH HIS HEAD"
<3> the liberals are such hypocrites
<3> hell yes
<3> the duron is for my bedroom
<0> flyback: This is not #politics man
<3> oh yeah :P
<0> I normally wouldn't care, but it seems like it just starts huge fights.
<0> What do you use in your bedroom right now?
<3> just my PII 300 laptop
<3> it's only fast enough for irc, web and streaming music
<3> it will still be used for that but the duron 1300 will be for video playback
<3> in fact some of the newer video player programs have remote control web interfaces built in :)
<0> I want a cheap laptop for wireless stuff.
<3> I paid $50 for it
<3> got 2
<3> dell inspiron 3200's
<3> 300mhz PII 144 meg ram, 6.4 gig hd, dvd-rom
<0> I want to load Linux on it and do wireless stuff, so it wouldn't need to be powerful at all.
<3> so far the only problems are the dvd-rom drives are junk
<3> all 4 battery packs are gone but I ***umed that
<0> I think a laptop like your PIII would work.
<0> It would just be sort of slow on some tasks.
<3> and you have to do a little driver hackery in windows to fix a touchpad issue
<3> linux has the fix also
<3> I also found it it will go to at least 272 (256 + onboard) meg of ram
<3> despite what all the venders say
<3> cause Itried it
<3> I need four so-dimms pc100 or 133 128 meg 8 or 16 chip :P
<3> just have to wait till I get job or my friend at the recycler findssome
<0> I am going to go dig around on the next trash day.
<0> Maybe I can find some new hardware.
<3> i'm covnerting the laptops to linux
<3> in fact almost all my machines will run linux
<0> What distrobution for desktop usage?
<3> except the dos box, the windows 2000 box just for running badcopy pro which is a temp box anyways, my main system which will dual boot 2k and linux
<3> dunno yet
<3> either gentoo, fedora or ubuntu probably
<3> might use puppy linux on the laptop
<0> I don't recommend you use Gentoo. I know how you can get stuck on particulars.
<0> I think Gentoo would drive you crazy since you would end up worrying about too much to finish the installation.
<2> xubuntu?
<3> troopa no I used to play with it
<3> in fact I made a automated built script that starts at stage 1
<3> auto 0 wipes the main partition and swap
<3> so that it's bit identical every time
<3> used this to debug a motherboard
<0> Cool.
<3> finally was able to figure out if you use single sided dimms in slot 2 on a ecs k7s5a it doesn't have ide dma problems
<0> I guess you are fine with software stuff. You just become very worried with hardware.
<3> that's only for the pc100/133 slots
<3> not the ddr slots
<3> yeah tryign to get this mess cleaned up
<3> then papers sorteds
<3> floppies all converted to a master dvd
<3> that's why the badcopy pro is for
<3> recovery sw
<3> and I have about 200+ floppies and 500+ cdr's I have to go thru
<3> plus extract data from like 52 old hd's
<3> going to take several months mabye a yr to get it all done
<3> but I will :)
<0> I have been thinking of creating a recovery DVD and creating my own menus, etc.
<0> Sort of like a ultimatebootdisk, but just targeted for what I need/want.
<0> ultimatebootcd*
<0> My bad. I was thinking of disk when I meant to type cd.
<3> you seen the windows version
<3> boots mini xp
<3> only reason I wish I owned a copy of xp
<3> is for that
<3> and I found out today
<0> Why not just boot ReactOS. It has complete XP compatibility.
<3> this old stepper motor I took from a $50,000+ ibm mainframe high speed dot matrix printer
<3> is not a stepper
<3> it's a servo
<3> = dc brushed motor + optical encoder
<3> which I probably fried :(
<3> it's worth like $100+ used
<3> motor part works fine
<0> Have you ever worked with the BLADE server series?
<3> never worked on a server at all
<3> also found out a cdrw burner I thought was like 4x
<3> is 32
<3> going to refurb it and if it test ok then going to dump a iomagic/btc 32x10x40 that NEVER worked right
<3> also got a dvd-rom going to try to say
<3> save
<3> so I have 2 dvd-rom drives and a dvd burner
<3> finally getting stuff done
<3> I think the paxil increase is helping
<0> I am watching Dirty Jobs.
<0> This guy does some gross stuff.
<3> I must have 200 motors
<3> wow
<3> going to wait till it's dark out to finish cleaning
<3> so that I can turn off the exhaust and let the ac run
<3> grandma is overheating
<0> watercool her :P
<3> hate stopping when I am on a roll
<3> but grandma is 80 yrs old and 250+ lbs
<0> Phase change then.
<5> q ^^ p
<3> only problems with the duron 1300 are
<3> I don't have a 80mm fan with a rpm sensor for the cpu so I will have to be careful
<3> and this case only allows a 60mm fan for the back case fan
<3> also have to decide what sound and video to use
<3> since my radeon 9500pro and turtle beach santz cruz were moved to my sempron
<0> You could mob the case and modify it to fit a 80mm fan, couldn't you?
<0> mob = mod
<5> q ^^ p <- 250 lbs
<0> Blanket: Shut the **** up.
<3> also thinking of volunteering at the local hospital
<3> doing IT stuff a few hrs/week
<3> need to ramp myself back into employment
<5> flyback-, why do you collect motors?
<0> It sounds like you are 50x more stable now since they upped your paxil.
<0> Is that really helping that much with your anxiety?
<3> Blanket2 cause they are cool
<3> troopa not all still lot of issues
<3> talking to people
<3> afraid of being yelled at
<6> - - HEYA gentlemen
<3> freaking out in a store when for some reason I have to ask for help etc
<0> But you are more stable than before with doing things.
<3> but gettnig better
<3> yep
<0> That is just my ***umption.
<3> going to give this celeron 600 to my sister
<3> and toss her k6-2 450
<3> and I have to rebuild uncle's k6-2 450 for now with 98se
<3> so he leaves me alone
