<0> hmm
<0> is there a lookout in that big spiky momument which is located in washington d.c.?
<1> it's called the washington monument and that's a national secret.
<1> meaning, we don't even know.
<2> what sort of "lookout" ?
<2> There are windows out of which one can look.
<0> uh, i wanted to write _franklins_ but then i remembered b. franklin has monument of himself sitting in chair, right?
<0> far_call: yes, that's what i mean. i saw windows on the top.
<1> that's lincoln
<2> No, that's lincoln. Franklin is standing.
<1> in the chair
<3> why do you ****?
<3> we don't know your national monuments most likely
<2> Er, wait, I might be mistaken about that.
<0> ok, small faux pas
<0> mogi: that's probably right, but ... :)
<1> there's no franklin memorial in dc
<2> Ok, I was thinking of Jefferson. Franklin actually does happen to be sitting but in Philedelphia, not Washington.
<0> i'm not going to say that i will try to memorize it, because i'm sure i won't :|
<0> s/memorize/memorise
<1> there's no franklin memorial
<1> there's his house and museum
<1> and signs on a few cobblestone alleys around his house in philadelphia
<2> except the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial located in the rotunda of the Franklin Institute of Science Museum.
<1> oh
<1> well
<1> that
<1> heh
<1> but nothing on the scale of the washington, jefferson, or lincoln memorials.
<2> I have to admit that I didn't know about it until just now either.
<2> True.
<0> i see i brought a lot of confusement here :D
<1> of course, he wasn't a president.
<2> Also true.
<1> most people think he was
<2> Most people don't remember their history.
<2> They also mostly don't care either.
<3> wtf
<0> that's true.
<3> people think franklin was a president?
<3> we're all going to crash and burn
<1> the thing about growing up where i did was that i visited philadelphia and dc and boston and other historical places a bunch growing up.
<1> er
<2> Yeah, I've only been to those places a handful of times.
<2> Er, except Boston; haven't made it there yet.
<2> Though I would like to.
<1> i was going to say that it's an interesting place, but i find most places interesting.
<4> i feel sorry for people from m***achusetts
<2> er, why's that?
<5> did you guys hear about michael jackson!?!
<4> they have no representation, kerry is never there, and kennedy isnt all there..

<4> i wouldnt doubt it, even tho none of you're urls work
<1> wow
<1> you're not too bright, are you, madsage?
<2> good call
<1> thanks, far_call

<7> does 10.2 come with grub as standard or lilo
<8> lilo
<7> hmm
<7> is it possible to select grub during installation ?
<9> nope
<7> are there any plans to move to grub in the future ?
<9> you can use grud if you want
<7> i tried to install grub before and it messed up :(
<3> lilo is just as good as grub
<3> grub is included in extra/ if you are that retarded to need it
<7> its not a case of being retarded
<3> "it's"
<9> noobs seem to like it
<7> its the fact that i have multi-os booting and i already have grub setup just how i want it
<7> moving to lilo would mean i have to start all over again
<3> all over with what?
<7> nevermind
<9> a 5 min operation
<3> if you have another OS that already uses grub, just manage the booting from that OS
<3> you don't even need to install a boot loader for slackware, as long as another OS's loader can boot it
<7> yea i know, but the os which uses grub is being overwritten and im just gonna save the .conf
<3> then install slackware, install grub from extra/, and configure it
<3> it won't be as pretty as a normal install, but it will work
<7> ok
<0> morning
<10> morning
<11> Hello
<12> hi infoslack :)
<13> Hello.
<3> hmm, Opera 9 is out
<14> Old news.
<15> yo yo
<16> is there a processor family to choose in the kernel config for em64t cpu's?
<17> probably with newer kernels
<17> oh
<17> phek not really
<17> if you want to run 64-bit linux you have a few choices
<17> slamd64, gentoo offers a 64-bit version as well, same with suse and redhat/fedora
<17> you can't just compile in 64-bit support via the kernel
<16> hmm
<17> all of the binaries on the system are compiled to be 32-bit
<16> good point
<18> linuxpackages.net has a good number of slackware 64-bit binaries now
<3> 64bit isn't worth it yet for the majority of users
<3> it is too problematic and undersupported by software packages
<0> mogi: and that's why you have 64bit system :)
<3> actually, I don't
<3> they p*** through my hands, but they run a 32bit OS
<3> I don't personally own a 64bit setup
<0> i was kidding anyway.
<0> damn, i'm sooo tired :|
<3> yeah, well, I'm sooo pissed off, so we're even :)
<0> mind wants to work, but body is dying
<3> I'm sick of people around here (work), ***uming I am in the know on most things
<3> when in reality, I'm one of the last to know about anything
<3> I just had to unbox a system to back it up before it left, because no one ****ing told me they were packing it up
<0> heh ... so so mogi, but in our network. it seems like people around me just don't using their brain.
<0> s/using/use
<3> then they get all pissed at me and say "you should have known better"
<3> ****ers
<0> heh .. nice :)
<3> I've been here just under 3 years, and I had to go hound someone to start giving me the contract priority listing
<3> I got my first one yesterday
<0> well, just says you don't know.
<0> and say it like for 10 times.
<0> they will stop comming.
<3> I'm sick of people coming to me with, "is the database ready for X?" and I'm like, "I never got a planning guide for X, wtf?"
<3> the biggest problem is, we have at least 6 contracts going at once, and we have 4 EEs, another 4 or 5 physicists, etc, etc
<3> so they can split the work load
<0> heh :) i don't have such problems, because nobody cares. but i'm really pissed off about really stupid questions.
<3> I'm stucking doing the computers, software, and support for all of them, plus existing customer support and new software dev
<0> i.e. 'm I going to break my monitor using lower resolution?
<3> that's an easy question, the anser is "yes"
<3> monitors (including CRTs) have a native resolution they should be run at
<0> interesting.
<3> tell them it will explode :)
<0> i've never heard of that.
<0> hahaa :D
<0> you are teasing me ;)
<3> yeah, if you look at specs for a CRT, there will be a resolution and refresh rate marked "native" or "recommended"
<3> the CRT was tuned for that specific setup
<3> it won't really hurt it hardware wise, but what is the point of having a nice 21" monitor and running it at 640x480?
<3> if people can't read it, they need to see an eye doctor :)
<0> i got it. i guess he was playing game at lower resolution.
<0> i took it like stupid question, because in a fact it's kinda stupid.
<3> well, would you rather have them ask said stupid question, or let them go ahead and damage equipment because they didn't ask?
