<0> geezus.
<1> all i have is the Gateway restore disc which is nutz
<0> !info RECOVERYXP
<2> haha
<2> ouch.
<2> can't you download a small iso with RC on it?
<0> !info BARTPE
<0> got another XP box?
<1> ok, i'll download that
<0> friend or neighbors?
<4> Bartpe rocks
<1> no other xp box
<0> build your own.
<1> but i'll download the iso from microsoft
<0> huh?
<0> what ISO ?
<1> they have the recovery iso for download but it is a long process
<4> !infomod bartpe BARTPE = http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ <- build your own bootable Windows XP/2003 CDs
<4> god i cant stand improper usage of apostrophes
<2> that's actually not improprer
<2> -r
<4> CD's is improper in that sentence
<4> its a plural, not a posessive. though i suppose the CD can possess the data.
<0> on capitalized abbreviations, I'm not so sure its wrong.
<2> if you read the MLA guide it actually says apostrophes on acronyms where there could be ambiguity
<5> aren't there prebuilt versions you can download?
<2> is OK
<5> like ubcd4win?
<5> !info ubcd4win
<0> BBS; not legally as that includes microsoft files
<6> z0g^g: When pluralizing acronyms, using an apostrophe is considered appropriate.
<5> ah
<5> I never ****ed with them, just know they exist :)
<6> Therefore CD's is as appropriate as CDs.
<7> So OS's is also appropriate although it clearly violates another rule
<4> Is that a gray area?
<0> thats what I thought.
<6> poxy: Correct.
<4> I saw some dude holding up a sign on the side of the road once day "CONDO'S FOR SALE"
<6> z0g^g: I'm pretty certain it's not.
<4> now that is definitely incorrect
<8> this clip of jon stewart making a fool of tucker carlson never gets old
<6> z0g^g: CONDO is not an acronym.
<2> z0g^g: condo's is wrong yes
<2> hehe
<2> but CD's is as valid as CDs
<4> fine i changed it back.
<4> :(
<2> poxy: which rule does OS's violate?
<9> Sup.
<2> it's ok z0g, we don't forgive you
<0> http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=499296
<7> Aurelius: on something ending with s, to show possession, you dont add another s after the apostrophe
<7> or something...
<7> oh plural possession i think it is
<2> poxy: pluralizing OS isn't showing possession
<9> It has to do with possessive subjunctives. And also adverbs.
<4> Exercise your fingers and type out the entire phrase instead of the acronym?
<7> Aurelius' toys, as opposed to the wrong Aurelius's toys
<2> yes
<2> but saying i have multiple OS's
<4> i dont want to know what his collection of toys is.
<6> poxy: You can.
<2> they range in age from 12 to 16
<7> fdiv_bug: you can use Aurelius's?
<0> ah, if you read that answer.google thing, OSs or OS's are both 'ok', depending on who you talk with.
<6> I use apostrophe-S when doing singular possessive regardless of whether or not the subject ends with S.
<0> trend now is to lose the '
<9> Aurelius: Are you mormon? That's only cool if you're mormon
<6> So, yes, "Aurelius's computer."
<0> so OSs or CDs
<4> jeez man i didnt mean to shift the discussion so intensely.
<2> too much ambiguity imo though
<0> but you DO use an ' if its a plural of a single letter. "There aren't enough F's in the universe"
<2> damn you z0g
<9> I have Vonage. Is there a simple way to record conversations to wav or mp3?
<10> OH MA
<10> N
<10> TONIGHT's 24 ****ING PWnED
<10> OMFG
<6> Aw, Christ. The 24 junkies are done.
<4> lolbbq
<11> ****in 24 nerds
<4> heh. how funny that baracuda of all people sends out the rules of manhood.
<2> using "Service" as the username for EVERYONE
<2> with a blank ****ing p***word
<2> i need a lart.
<12> someoen running pcanywhere?
<7> !ask
<7> !winhelp ask
<7> !info ask
<4> you want to know who needed a lart? when i was thrown into the position at this company, walking in on a business where every single freaking user was in the domain admin group.
<2> haha z0g
<7> darkforc: just ask your question
<2> turns out i'm gonna be putting all the POS support team in local admin
<4> and the main server was running on a degraded RAID!
<4> it was in shambles.
<2> haha
<7> man...
<1> i am still in linux. i right clicked on the mounted hard drive icon, and it has Permission options
<1> i changed the permissions there and it is going through all the files
<2> hehe
<4> And you know what, the gimp never actually set up schedules in backup exec, it looked like he manually fired off the backups every nighyt
<1> has a progress dialog. i don't know if it will really change the permissions.
<2> z0g^g: did the tapes actually still have life in them? :)
<4> They surprisingly are pretty resilient. we have a little 4-tape AIT2 autoloader (Yeah yeah, i know, but the boss *LOVES* sony products. ugh)...
<2> heh
<2> pixar has a beautiful tape system
<4> those AIT tapes seem to last a damn long time. Sony claims they never need cleaning, but yet, you can buy a cleaning tape for them. Isnt that ****ing ironic.
<12> i need someone to send me something nasty, some trojan, etc...blow my system up
<12> for hahas
<7> z0g^g: no, it's to satisfy people who think that it must be cleaned
<4> Maybe its due to me using dat drives so much, which filth up so quickly,
<7> z0g^g: exactly...
<4> i dont clean it much. i run the tape thru every few months
<4> i used to haev to clean the dats twice a week
<7> my dat is still working fine and i havent cleaned it...ever
<4> heavily used...
<7> i also test my backups and they restore fine
<12> i have a dat i havent used in ages
<12> it's not cost effective anymore
<4> you know, the guys at this company think the dats (dds really, same freaking difference), they claim they are unreliable. I ask them when the last time they cleaned it.. Theyre like "you clean them?"
<12> 4GB dat tapes cost more than dvd-rw, and run alot slower
<7> z0g^g: yeah, i know i have to clean it, i just havent a cleaning tape :(
<2> heh
<12> what dat do you have?
<7> dds4
<12> i have a relic of a dds2 dat
<4> we have a few dds4 drives on the floor
<12> not worth using
<2> tell pixar :) they have a bank of probably close to 200 or more dat's
<12> dd4 is 24GB right?
<7> sa0: <SONY SDT-10000 01u4> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device
<4> i used to use dds2 on a digital 48-port call logger at my last job, when i worked at a call center. that thing would go thru a dds2 tape every 3 days, it was suggested to clean it between every tape change.
<2> was slower than mol***es
<12> whats the capacity on dds4?
<4> dds4 is usually 20/40
<7> 20/24
<7> oops 20/40 like z0g^g said
<12> yeah, this hp surestore dat8 ran aroud 300KB/sc
<7> i get 1.5-2MB/s with the dds4
<12> id like a tape drive, only if it's cost effective
<12> seems cheaper just to get a large external hard drive
