<0> any comments on this monitor?
<1> i'd go for a widescreen, but it is cheap
<1> check review sites
<2> http://www.oxide.org/creepy/black-spider.jpeg
<3> neat
<1> nothing spectacular
<0> nice
<0> less than 1/2 hour ago I had to pull a spider off the wall to stop screaming females..
<1> there is a nice fat and hairy spider that likes to chill around the washer/dryer in the garage
<1> i dont usually kill spiders, they eat the other bugs...
<2> I left this one alone.. but I should have put it out or done it in..
<2> Since it's left its egg pouch, but has run off itself, and I'm not willing to bet it's completely harmless.
<1> what you mean not harmless?
<0> I threw mine outside
<2> I mean I'd rather not discover it in my shoe..
<1> you think its posionous?
<1> well, i wouldnt want any bug in my shoe
<2> almost all spiders are poisnonous, it's a matter of degree, and ability to pierce skin
<1> you think a little thing like that could harm a human?
<2> err, hell yes
<0> have you seen what a small guy like me can?
<0> err can do
<4> ermm.. I don't see any color markings on it..
<2> there are at least two species here that are known to cause harm, and many that are simply not known
<2> even the little guys, often you'll find a painfull welt on your arm or such, and a spider corpse in your shirt
<1> well, i dont think there are any dangerous spiders here in ontario, canada.
<0> welp, women here with no bras on and I'm down here talking to you guys
<2> poor guy got his chewing in before getting crushed
<1> most spiders i come by run away at sight of light or vibration
<2> the truly dangerous ones can cause a golf ball sized ulcerative abscess that takes weeks to heal like the hobo spider, or muscular system paralysis like the black widow
<2> the ones that bite the most people are unsurprisingly species that don't flee.. implication being many that flee may also be dangerous, should they be in a situation to bite
<5> Anyone big into Thunderbird?
<6> haven't even heard of that
<1> RndPkt: i use it.
<7> I use it too
<1> But, i would use squirrelmail if it cached folders (its slow for folders larger than 20k+)
<1> i use imap,
<5> Yeah
<5> I do too
<7> good to know, I was considering putting SM up, but I have a number of large folders.
<5> Thunderbird 1.5 seems to have lost the ability to launch multiple profiles simultaneously.
<1> even still, it takes thuderbridn about ~3 seconds to read a 55k message folder
<1> which is hosted on a dedicated cyrus server
<1> caskey: its a very nice http email client, but as i said, it can be slow with very large folders...
<1> but if you need an http based email client, SM is one of the better choices
<1> RndPkt: Not sure what you mean by that...
<5> I have two profiles
<5> One for work, one for home
<5> With 1.0.x
<7> ... why not just have multiple accounts in the same TB?
<5> I could launch both at the same time w/ 'thunderbird -P home' or work
<5> With 1.5 this seems to be gone and launching the second one just makes the first one pop to the foreground.
<5> caskey: Because I'm not always connected to the work VPN
<7> I see, and you don't like having to toggle the 'check every 5 minutes' button?
<5> What does that have to do with anything?
<1> Hrm, i access 2 diff mailboxes, and imap and a pop3, but they are all listed in the same Thunderbird process.
<7> TB can work disconnected from a mail server
<5> I don't want disconnected
<5> I want each to be in its own profile
<5> 1.0.x handled this fine
<5> It's EXTREMELY annoying
<1> I dont thin TB supports profiles like that
<7> You can have multiple email accounts in the same TB profile
<5> Yes it did
<5> In 1.0.x
<1> I never used 1.x
<7> It's a "feature" so that if you 'run' TB again, instead of getting a new copy, it just puts the running copy up.
<7> debatable as to value.
<1> have you complained to the developers? :P
<1> i dont know, i access 2 different accounts, and i lik ethe way its done in 1 process...\
<5> I'm not sure what I'm doing to do it.
<5> wettoast: I'm subscribed to 100+ shared mailboxes
<5> IT's unwieldly to look at 2 accounts in one screen
<5> Let alone the bizzare connection behaviors
<7> I can understand that. You know you can close the tree of the account you aren't using, and open an additional window with the opposite tree opened
<1> so.. maybe you should setup 2 different mailboxes for them :)
<5> caskey: I don't *want* to do that
<5> I *want* the old functionality
<7> I see, sounds like you need to research TB profile management. It's possible to do what you want, people have been doing it for a while to get around the 'feature' in FF
<1> what we all need is custom designed email clients, that use sql backends, and are instantly responsive to any query
<7> **** sql
<5> The extreme lack of evolution of the mail client in the last 10 years is depressing
<1> and, the either top post or sane quote depnding of senders email client :)
<1> RndPkt: sure is...
<1> im still waiting for Novell's Evolution to hit Windows...
<5> I've tried Evolution
<5> Shared mailbox support is whompy
<1> Novell is being stupid for not trying to compete with MS's exchange/outlook
<1> RndPkt: it wasn better than Thunderbird for me
<1> err, WAS.
<5> Any company that would put some decent work behind a standards-compliant server AND client system would do very well.
<5> Expecially if they didn't try to charge Exchange pricing
<7> If it's a client and server system, why be standards compliant? There are some things that are just annoying to do in a standards compliant way, but easy to do non-standardly
<5> I'm not talking about the client-server interoperability
<1> heh, standards compliant, sometimes thats hard to do when MS decides to make their own standards :P
<5> I'm talking about not doing really stupid things when you interact with the outside world
<5> One of the big problems with Exchange is that it's a big black box
<1> really, the number one thing that pissess me off about Outlook is the top posting
<5> and you can't do complex tasks with it
<1> Excnage is great for internal use, not Internet use...
<1> and its lack in some areas presents excellent opportunity for open source software :)
<8> it's funny how the brain works
<8> you leave it to itself it'll figure stuff out for you... I woke up this mornign with a vision where this receipt is that I looked for all day yesterday, and there it was..
<8> thanks
<2> Guten Morgen.. how the hell are ya?
<8> good :)
<8> you?
<2> seems satisfactory
<8> how is the weather in BC?
<2> a bummer
<8> ****ty
<8> cloudy weather here
<8> so they move all the state secret stuff now.. because of the satellites ;)
<2> hmm.. bitrate on communication by cloud formation must be fairly low
<8> oh no I meant the inwards looking hubbles ;)
<8> :)
<8> it's a good thing you can create artificial cloud cover when you suspect someone is peeking from outer space..
<2> how do they keep p***ers by from seeing such then?
<8> hmm dunno
<8> construction byp***es?
<8> ie. they redirect traffic through an alternative route?
<2> maybe the p***ers by are simply considered honourary spooks
<9> how do you get an MCSE off your front porch?
<8> hmm, any computer fairs in your region? maybe they have a microsoft booth?
<2> www.oxide.org/bubble.jpeg <- autofocus torture test
<8> May 27 Today is Boomtime, day 1 in the season of Confusion, 3172.
<8> what is this stuff?
<8> it's from calendar.all
<2> calendar is a dumping ground for all manner of weird and wonderful stuff
<8> it's from calendar.discord
<2> calendar.discord has gotten exactly zero commits since openbsd's incorporation
<8> nice bubble, when you look close you see someone trapped in it
<8> they are banging against the walls and screaming
<8> but noone hears them..
<2> actually that was a free floater.. moving fast too
<8> heh, there was a bubble in star trek too
<8> tng
<8> it scanned the enterprise and then this guy who they thought was god came on the screen or something..
<8> my vacuum cleaner blew up today
<8> thankfully its covered on warranty
<8> second electric equipment in 2 days to go boom
<8> I must have used it less than half a dozen times in the last year...
<8> got a nice layer of dust where the door swings into my bedroom
<8> never noticed it because the door is open..
<2> Discordianism is a modern, chaos-based religion founded in either 1958 or 1959. It has been described as both an elaborate joke disguised as a religion, and as a religion disguised as an elaborate joke.
<2> Someone submitted an updated calendar a long while back.. but where calendar.discord originally sprang from isn't clear.
<2> Presumably it rode in on 4.4BSD, but freebsd and netbsd appear to have deleted it.. but their Attics aren't clear.
<8> time I get some shopping for food done
<10> here to stay now hopefully :) bought the wrong antenna :PPP
