<0> I guess that makes some degree of sense. But that is not the same thing as using it as ram
<1> so can i query an installed rpm to figure out where i got it from?
<2> Phaid: think about this for about 2 seconds...
<0> Alien88 rpm -ql rpmname
<3> Typical overall file transfer speeds are about 3 Mbytes/s. The highest current overall file transfer speeds are about 10-25 Mbytes/s. Older, "full speed" 12 Mbit/s devices are limited to a maximum of about 1 Mbytes/s.
<2> Phaid: it copies the programs from the HD, to flash
<0> right
<2> Phaid: re-read those first 7 words
<3> compared to a hard drive of 60+ MB/s?
<4> Phaid, I guess you're right.
<0> yeah it doesnt make a lot of sense
<1> well that shows me the install, but not where i might have gotten it form
<2> it ALREADY reads it from one place
<0> esp with current hd's having m***ive caches
<2> wtf would it read, then write, just so it can read again?!
<3> Qwell, to practice
<4> So it won't be forgotten, Qwell.
<2> forgotten?
<2> Do disks forget ****?
<5> Qwell: so your supervisor can snatch the usb flash device to see what you've been doing
<3> Qwell, but what if your HD dies?? u can keep running your program from flash!
<2> IdiotStic: heh
<2> RedACE: :P
<6> Qwell never underestimate windows forgetting or losing data..heh
<4> Snitched my words, xnomar. :-)
<0> heheh
<7> =]
<0> I dunno. I guess I'll get vista next time I build a windows pc
<3> ok Apunker, try this
<0> or it will come with whatever laptop
<6> Phaid it's terrible
<3> load photoshop and do some graphics work
<0> I like xp fine
<4> I heard it's ****.
<5> get xgl instead
<6> xp is sweet
<3> now reload it, change your scratch disk to your usb stick
<2> get osx
<3> now do the same work again, see how much slower it is
<0> I use xp with MI_X for X11 and I'm totally happy
<0> I use the windows port of gimp for photoshop work
<0> it is awesome
<6> nice
<3> Phaid: the portable version for usb sticks??
<3> :p
<0> hell it has support for editing those wacky d3d texture things (for making skins in oblivion)
<5> yeah gimp is great and you can use photoshop plugins with a free add on
<0> RedACE no :)
<4> Redace, I guess I was getting the whole thing the wrong way. But it would be sweet to have extra ram out of your MP3 player. ;-)
<0> yeah IdiotStic although I had issues with that addon
<8> 'eject /dev/sda1' doesn't eject my ipod. any ideas?
<0> you still have to physically unplug it yourself :)
<2> APunker: umm, you realize what would happen if you told vista to use your mp3 player as ram, right?
<5> Phaid: yeah some work great and others are.. well..
<2> say goodbye to all of your music
<0> haha
<8> heh i meant it error'd :p
<0> what was the erorr?
<7> dumb like a moose.
<2> howto: nice error message.
<2> "User is dumb like a moose. Aborting!"
<4> Qwell Yeah. :-)
<3> APunker, except it ISN'T RAM
<5> more descriptive than some I've seen heh
<3> it's FLASH
<8> vista is spannish for 'we'll rat you out if you pirate anything'
<4> But I don't think I would install vista at all.
<3> like a billion times slower
<6> you could run vista -N version without windows media player
<4> XP is just fine if I need a windows platform.
<0> graywhite eject only works on devices with trays, like dvd drives. You need to umount the device instead
<8> id only use win2k since it's the same thing as XP basically but faster and lets you install it on multiple machines
<8> phaid weird this ipod tutorial says i have to eject it after unmounting it, even though it's usb
<6> corp edition lets you install on multiple machines too ;)
<5> I don't understand why people insist on getting a killer dual core whatever machine and then sticking an operating system on it that makes it run like an XT
<0> graywhite that is incorrect
<3> lol @ w2k users who say things like that
<6> hyperthreading is not a great tech
<8> phaid are you sure? supposedly unmountingj ust umounts but it doesnt make it safe to unplug the ipod. kind of like in windows where you still have to manually eject the ipod for safe unplugging
<4> What would you guys buy - AMD or Intel?
<6> INTEL all the way
<4> How can you say when all benchmarks I saw are for AMD?
<8> intel has dpm
<0> AMD
<5> they both contain AMD code so get what you like heh
<9> cyrix all the way
<0> graywhite all eject does is eject the tray. the "make safe to unplug" thing in windows is basically the same thing as umounting is
<4> LOL deww. Come on'... :-)
<6> i have an amd 4600+, i like my other box that has an e6600 core 2 duo.
<8> dpm or whatever it's called that is basically drm type chip built in
<8> phaid ok thanks
<0> I like my 3800+
<4> Phaid, you play games?
<0> though I rarely use it
<0> APunker yes
<4> And you think AMD is faster for games?
<0> it was last time I built a PC :)
<3> intel is currently leading the cpu race with their core 2 duos
<0> I see
<3> but it's the first time in a few years they've been in the lead
<8> my amd athlon xp has been runnin smooth for a few years
<0> yeah
<3> and amd will be ahead soon
<4> What your using then? :-)
<6> chips are so fast now it really doesn't make a big diff, but my pref is intel
<0> I still have an xp 2400+, a 3200+ and my 3800+
<3> the difference is heat and power consumption now
<0> the 3800+ is what I play games on, with a 7900gt
<3> and soon the (true) number of cores will be a factor as well
<0> although any more I just play games on my xbox
<0> my laptop is so nice I just use that for everything else
<3> I have an X2 4600
<3> <3
<0> (Dell D810 with 2gb ram and 17" screen)
<6> RedACE it's a decent chip ;)
<3> 20" widescreen here =)
<0> it's hard to go back from a 1680x1050 lcd to my 21" monitor
<6> i bet
<0> and I mean oblivion on my xbox on a 42" plasma kind of owns
<6> sweet!
<0> (xbox 360 obviously)
<3> oblivion ftl :(
<0> haha
<0> it is an acquired taste I admit
<0> I wish they would just remake Daggerfall in its entirety but with the Ob engine O.o
<0> including the char building and leveling system. The one in oblivion is insane
<0> Daggerfall and Morrowind were both a lot better for that, but it's kind of hard to go back and play those once you have seen Oblivion
<3> the game never seemed to get harder cuz of the scaling system, but I admit I only played it for about a week
<0> if you level your char properly it wont get that much harder
<0> on the other hand the bad guys also dont get easier which I think is dumb
<4> G'night folks! :-)
<0> anyway yeah for gaming I am totally stuck in 2005
<0> I'm playing the heck out of Need For Speed Most Wanted and Oblivion
<10> I am stuck in the 70s, 80s and 90s with gaming. through the magic of console emulators..
<0> hehe
<11> is there an ftp client that runs on command line that has a semi-gui? so you could just select a folder and it would download it?
<10> lately it's been n64 games, using the wiimote as a controller. :)
<0> yeah my other favorite game to waste time with is Black Tiger on MAME O.o
<10> vandal: ncftp ... but it still doesn't use a mouse, afaik.
<10> it's just more "friendly" than the old BSD ftp. :)
<11> yeah don't need a mouse, still trying to figure out ncftp
<11> i can't seem to even CD into a folder with spaces..heh
<11> i guess I need "
<0> ncftp works
<10> vandal: use tab completion for that.
<10> or escape your spaces with \
<10> cd Some\ funky\ directory
<10> or use " :)
<12> bah, this damned barracuda dislikes our ssl cert files
<11> ah thanks, sorry i'm a noob
<11> brb :)
