<0> so it should be good to go for another 100,000 before it needs a major rebuild
<0> i run biodiesel in it and that helps keep the engine clean and well-lubricated
<0> it helps keep the planet clean too
<1> while making everyone hungry for Burger King Fries. =-)
<2> yah
<2> mike on american hotrod just had his hair catch fire when he was leaning over the carb tweaking it and the engine backfired :D
<2> i dont think he had any eyebrows left after that, heh
<0> that was pretty dumb, ac-130u
<2> yeah it was
<2> but a bit of a laugh at the same time, because normally you jump back when it happened, but he didnt even move
<1> It's all fun and games until you poke someone eye out.. So wake me when the piston explodes out of the crankcase and takes him out.
<1> That's funy.
<1> An ad to sell Microsoft Office.. while bashing Microsoft Windows.
<0> m$ have promised office support for macs for some years still
<0> i think there's four years left
<0> and you can be sure apple will have something ready when that promise expires in case it's not renewed
<0> the ads are really funny though
<1> roy, why do you think they are working on pages.
<0> pages has a long way to go before it can replace word
<1> even if Pages is more of an odd hybrid wordprocessing / Layout program.
<0> but they have four years to do it
<0> i'm waiting for the apple spreadsheet
<0> keynote already runs circles around powerpoint and it can read/write pp files flawlessly
<1> I wish they would bring back the old Appleworks system.
<1> from the Apple IIc era.. that was just a lovely program.
<0> there's an os x version of appleworks
<1> I'm scared of that version.
<1> BTW sadly for as much as I'm a cheerleader for Open Office.. There are something it ****s at.. =-( I guess I didn't realize that as much since I use NeoOffice/J
<1> and the OpenOffice flaws don't show up as bad in NeoOffice/J
<3> When I was using StarOffice, it would display deleted text left in the file by MS Word.
<1> you sure it wasn't mistakenly showing revision history?
<2> heh
<1> It's local news that people are downloading porn to their PSP.
<2> staroffice.
<0> i consider that to be a very good feature, spuug
<3> kp, well, it didn't distinguish deleted text from non-deleted text, so I was thinking that the secretary was just adding new lines, while leaving the old incorrect lines in.
<3> It was just the staff directory, and they had got my name wrong (swapped my surname with my given name)
<1> Dodge Neon is the worse car to be hit in.
<0> i think that if you delete something from a document it ought to be deleted
<0> not hidden
<0> er
<0> "hidden"
<1> roy, That should be the default.
<0> and it's really stupid for word to not really remove the stuff, so anything that shows it helps point out the stupidity
<1> But it's useful when editing a document to support change history.
<0> that's what version control systems are all about
<0> you check out the file, work with it, and check it back in
<0> but what you see when you check it out is all that should be in the checked-out version
<1> Most version control systems can't handle MS Word diffs sanely.
<1> They ***ume it's a binary blob.
<4> most?
<4> can any?
<4> it really IS a binary blob.. it's not even self consistent
<5> sharepoint cant afaik
<1> figz, Microsof's Visional Vault can.
<4> it must have same insanely spaghettitied logic to do that
<1> or whatever they call their RCS setup.
<4> the contrast between rcs people making sure their troff lines are short, versus what must happen to avoid maintaining a full delta each time an extra space is inserted in a ms word doc really makes me chortle
<1> roy, besides.. a full RCS doesn't fit well when you are p***ing a document back and forward between remote offices.
<6> Half-Life_2_Episode_One_trailer.wmv
<1> "my GAWD kids can download porn via the PSP.... Ban them! Ban Them!"
<0> i think we can all agree that m$ word is even more Evil(tm) than perl, and should be avoided whenever and wherever possible
<7> not in this lifetime
<7> that's actually one of the best products out of MS
<7> word is fast, feature rich, and stable I have yet to find something that comes close
<0> funny
<0> because i think word is just about the worst product from microsoft
<2> what would be the hardest part to work on in a diesel rabbit?
<0> i don't know
<0> i haven't worked on mine very much 'cuz it mainly just works
<2> *nod*
<2> i think the first thing i do if i get one is replace all hoses on the engine
<2> (well, except for the a/c hoses)
<0> no ac on mine
<2> are injectors on hard lines, or on rubber hoses?
<0> hard lines
<2> ah
<2> so i would need a special tool that will release the "collar" for the injectors
<0> i use an open end wrench
<0> actually a flare nut wrench
<8> in csh how do you do if ($BOB == "this" or "that") then (dont know how to do the "or")
<4> if ( "$foo" == "foo" || "$foo" == "bar" ), but please avoid csh..
<8> cool thanks
<8> well riddle me this.. for some reason I cant get /bin/sh to run growisofs from cron
<4> use sh -c 'your cron job here' for testing with..
<8> oh ok
<4> cron runs stuff with what amounts to sh -c, and so long as you're not using 's anywhere you can drop anything you used between them in sh -c straight into your crontab
<8> its wierd because this same script worked whith older versions of growisofs
<8> this version seems to know stuff like wether I am using sudo and so forth
<4> some possibility it's something to do with your environment
<4> you can add env -i sh -c 'foo' to eliminate the environment entirely
<4> (for testing; env -i is as likely to cause problems as be a solution)
<8> cool thanks for your help
<8> curious, why is $foo in quotes?
<3> Probably in case the value of $foo contains spaces.
<9> another day another dollar
<9> my boss did a sicky today, not good
<9> well better than going for a lay down in his car when the stress gets to much
<4> which is also better than going postal..
<3> What, he called in sick for the day?
<10> good afternoon
<9> ello, well my wifi card mystery is coming to an end
<9> the postal service apparently returned the wifi card because they couldn't find the address :/
<9> sounds pretty fishy, but they are on their way
<9> now i won't have to sleep with the windows open all night :p
<9> but the light will have to stay on, im still scared of monsters :)
<3> hi pbug.
<10> thecreep: what wifi card?
<10> thecreep: I keep my windows open at nights always, better circulation of air, and during night not too many cars drive around
<9> senco
<9> senao SL 2511CD Plus Ext2
<9> x2
<9> yagi 16 dbi directional antenna
<11> how far will it reach?
<10> it's really something when the news outlets are saying the taliban have made propaganda movies for their own purposes.. yet noone has seen these movies, so why do they even mention it? it's like sorta reporting about vapourware, about all it's cool nooks and crannies
<10> and they don't have any links for people to see these propaganda movies either
<10> I guess everyone is sorta under pressure to have a good story out there..
<10> news has become nothing more than entertainment
<10> if it ain't a shocker or something to delighten you they don't want to put it down..
<10> news around here is the garbage people, those hardworking men, just went by and got everyones garbage
<10> and they'll be replaced when they feel used and dirty
<10> I don't keep track of their faces but it seems they are different garbage workers from month to month
<10> only person who doesn't change is that hard working postal worker
<10> unless she's sick
<10> just weird when you can buy a computer for less than 300 dollars that people still use snail mail
<10> I just don't believe people can't afford a 300 dollar computer when they drive a car
<10> and most around here drive
<10> it's been a decade now since Internet really went big in the mainstream
<10> hard to believe the time went by that fast
<3> Yeah.
<10> hrmm the crew of ferries in norway are striking
<10> it's nice to have this kind of leverage
<12> hmmm
<9> im bored
<9> got to look busy
<13> how much diskspace do i need for "cvs get -P src"?
<13> openbsd!
<10> re
<13> hi pbug, can you tell me how much diskspace i need for a "cvs get -P src"?
<14> for just the source? mine's 600-700M
<14>
<14> oh oops, this has lots of kernel binaries and such
<14> so probably a bit less
<13> ok thanks
<10> I guess you ***ume OpenBSD then..
<11> freebsd just updated to 6.1rel /usr/src/ 418mb
<14> he specified openbsd before you joined
