<0> then free calls from your device to cell and landlines in usa and canada
<0> now I just need a cheap or freebie call in service with a real number ***igned
<0> then setup this asterisk@home stuff when my other voip hardware devices arrive so I can receive cals to pstn to my voip and routes itself to cell phone
<0> basically free Ld calls nice and simple though, pick up phone, call
<1> does anyone use a shell replacement? looking for a proper one
<2> and you'll call 911 and they'll dispatch the fire engines to Latvia.
<1> I've given litestep a try, wasn't much for it
<0> got cell for that
<1> haha peerce
<2> I use bash when I need a scriptable shell in windows.
<0> but this way, don't use up the damn cell minutes which they then kill you for
<0> but with the spa3002 coming, that one can call and route to 911 once programmed, dail 911, it's go to pstn line
<1> say, what is it that the bot is setting?
<3> channel user count
<3> that means you cant bring your stupid bot net in
<3> hehe
<4> well, user limit, not user count
<3> there are 119 people in here
<3> word
<4> it's n+5
<3> so if you bring in ten people only 5 of them are allowed
<1> ah. I see
<1> thanks
<5> i heard bout Extended Density Floppy Disks
<5> what do uthey look like
<5> i heard u can turn a HD into a ED
<1> I thought it had something to do with the user count, but it was a different number
<2> !google 'extended density floppy disk'
<6> http://www.discinterchange.com/TechTalk_floppy_disks_.html
<5> im there
<5> but theres no picture of a ED disk
<2> oh, that was that IBM thing from about 15 years ago. never caught on. 2.88Gbyte
<5> no
<3> yeah I have a few of those
<5> there is a ED format that is recent
<5> was supposed to replace 1.44's
<5> they are 2.88's
<1> megs?
<5> no TB's
<5> yes megs :)))))
<2> thats from 1991.
<2> and it flopped.
<2> required special drives and disks and had interchange problems
<5> 3.5" Double Density - 720KB
<5> 3.5" High Density - 1.44MB
<5> 3.5" Extended Density (IBM ONLY) - 2.88MB
<5> but i heard u can turn a HD disk into a ED disk
<5> by making a new hole
<2> http://www.answers.com/topic/floppy-disk#Wikipedia
<2> do you have a 2.88 drive?
<2> I believe that requires a special drive AND controller to work
<5> dont need it
<2> AND if they aren't the right kind of media, it ain't gonna be reliable.
<5> i remember in the 95/98 days
<2> fuggit.
<5> i did some tricks :P
<5> i compressed a floppy til i had 8MB
<5> lol
<2> floppies are legacy devices, new computers usually don't even have them
<3> you mean taking a platter out
<3> hmm
<5> wtf
<5> theres a QD disk too
<2> whatever. there's gigabyte USB sticks too
<2> thats more useful
<5> uh
<5> 90% of pc bios cant boot offa ****ing usb
<5> and encountered tons
<2> boot off a CD
<3> Um
<3> actually most computers nowadays can boot of usb
<3> and network
<3> of/off
<3> set the boot order and be on your merry way
<5> Joe-6 i find that funny since ive seen over 300 computers so far at the company i work for
<5> we get customer pc's to repair, onsite pc's government ones, etc
<7> your company has ****ty computers
<5> only the new **** late p3 or higher reads usb
<3> uh
<3> I work at cdw...
<3> ya know cdw.com
<7> pretty much any motherboard made today supports all that ****
<5> TODAY
<5> not 3 YEARS AGO
<7> see also: your company has ****ty computers
<8> haha
<7> that's not our fault
<8> this conversaion is funny
<3> Im not talking three years agoi
<8> Joe-6 is saying something correct (most computers can boot of USB)
<5> cody: ok go fetch me a p2 based pc
<3> cody... :)
<2> ooof, 24" widescreen LCD for $879, not bad. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=24053YR
<5> and have fun putting in a usb boot
<2> Segmental; a P2 PC that needs service isn't worth the time to fix.
<8> and Segmental is sayin "no way" because he has some 100 year old ****y computer that doesn't boot off USB
<3> yeah hahaha
<2> time is money.
<3> I see more new computers in a week then he will see in his whole life heh
<5> peerce it is when i stiff customers $300 a shot :)
<3> heh
<9> these baby carrots are fuggin addictive
<8> "Most computers come with a color screen" "NO THEY DONT! I HAVE A COMPUTER THAT HAS A BLACK AND AMBER SCREEN!"
<7> it's still not worth $300 to fix
<5> TedSki- made from real babys? :p
<5> j/k
<7> you can get another ****ing modern machine for $300
<2> you've got customers who'd pay $300 to fix a ancient computer worth zip?!?
<10> when i opened my computer the screen was black, Cody` .
<8> peerce: That's the monitor I have :)
<2> Cody`; whadja pay for it?
<3> hehehe
<3> monocrhome CRT :)
<7> just cuz people are willing to spend it doesn't mean it's WORTH it
<3> chrome
<8> peerce: Not sure. I'd have to check.
<5> oh
<5> AND I WIN!
<5> Finally, it is possible to "upgrade" a HD disk into an ED one by drilling an ED-positioned hole above the HD one, although the considerations made for DD vs HD disk material probably aren't valid for HD vs ED, and such "upgraded" disks probably aren't reliable.
<5> told u!
<11> this bolt is so ****ed up
<5> but it doesnt tell me what hole to drill above :x
<12> Segmental: The question is, why do you want to do this?
<10> whatis ED
<5> cuz im a geek and i like geeky ****
<5> extended density
<5> 2.88MB
<2> I'd suggest drilling a hole in your cranium and letting some of the pressure out.
<3> GenNMX, because he has ancient computers... and he needs to boot from usb but can't
<8> hm
<12> And ED disk fixes that problem...how?
<8> where is my Dell invoice via e-mail
<3> because 90% of the computers dont boot from usb
<3> which is rather vague if I do say so myself
<7> http://norriskillingspree.ytmnd.com/
<13> Southlake Carroll high School Football coach Todd Dodge is a relative bargain at $90,010/yr
<13> high school coaches making mad cash
<5> Joe-6 uh only later p3's and higher can boot off usb
<5> other than that no
<5> and not every ****ing person has a p3 or later
<3> ok... well who even said that we were talking about computers that are 5 years old?
<5> i dont see $10,000 a month paychecks do you
<5> lol
<10> 10,000 a month paycheks..
<3> no, but doesn't mean people cant afford to buy new computers
<10> that would be a little more than 90grand a year!
<13> you need that to buy a computer?
<8> Segmental: I do. On a bad month.
<8> hahah
<12> If I had a computer which couldn't boot off a USB Distro, I'd go with CD-ROM. If I had no CD-ROM (unlikely unless it's REAL old), then I'd go with "open 'er up and add in a HDD".
