<0> well based on market share, I guess we're winning quite handily.
<1> you should go create some drama.
<1> join their channel and do something!
<2> last I check, Windows was pretty much used by everyone
<0> That would require caring.
<3> what would possibly motivate us to do that
<2> hahahahhah
<1> ahaha
<1> Jet i get my jollys off of drama
<0> Well I'm gonna pirate a copy of linux and see what all the fuss is about. . .
<3> $500 into my paypal account and I'll go make trouble in #linux for you
<2> yeah
<1> Jet done!
<2> for $500, I'll help
<1> lol
<4> oh lord
<2> then I'll go buy 2K3 Server
<0> i take $1000, but that's just for the witicisms
<4> not a unix/linux vs. windows thing
<4> there can't be a more useless topic to discuss
<2> well
<2> it's more useless than that
<5> opensuse is a free dl now, but I swear its included yast doesn't configure samba as thoroughly as sles 9.3
<1> haha
<0> it's about as useful as talking about dos
<2> he wants the #Windows CHANNEL to go against the #Linux CHANNEL in some kind of "IRC War"
<4> for what purpose?
<1> FKnight` now you're talking
<4> to what end?
<1> MrDanger for my personal enjoyment
<0> wait, and we're the dorks?
<1> wo said you are a dork
<1> who*
<4> most people who run windows also have some unix/linux/freebsd/solaris involvement and vice versa
<6> i vote we just kill the warmongers and resume a peaceful existence.
<2> MrDanger: IF "most people who run windows" were computer geeks, yes.
<2> Otherwise, wrong.
<4> fk, from an administrator level type thing
<4> not home user
<4> for ****'s sake
<2> well
<2> I deal in reality :D
<0> Look at this gay*** case:
<0> http://www.virtual-hideout.net/reviews/sansun_batcase/images/picture.jpg
<2> geeks aren't the only ones using computers :D
<4> i was referring to those whose career it is to management server infrastructure
<0> they need to make a robin case with a shiny butt on the back
<4> not Helen Homemaker
<6> those are bergay.
<3> ****, why is this Windows 2000 box not reporting available windows updates? I open up WindowsUpdate.log, it says "Update is not allowed to download due to regulation."
<0> haha
<0> the BATCASE
<0> da da daaaa
<3> its done that every morning for 5 days
<3> I wonder if Microsoft "throttles" updates
<2> MrDanger: in the context of an IRC War discussion ?
<3> so that everyone doesn't download at the same time
<1> Jet probably does
<0> Jet -you're holding off on a manual update to see how long it takes?
<4> 'irc' 'war' 'discussion' and context
<4> i fail to see the tie that binds!
<3> nerp: ya
<3> this time I will
<0> i've noticed my laptop and desktop seem to update at different times
<1> did you guys hear that Netflix throttles frequent renters
<4> yes.
<0> yes ping, i read the nytimes article.
<1> ah
<4> it was a major story carried by many news outlets.
<1> terrific
<2> Did you guys hear that Microsoft is going to ****ing charge money for Vista ?
<4> it also makes business sense.
<0> i don't blame them. when I was ripping for a cl***ic xvid group I was going through 60 dvds a month easily
<2> ***holes
<3> nerp: ya, my XP laptop updated before my wife's
<1> FKnight` yeah i know wtf
<4> february ctp will be feature complete!
<4> supposedly!
<0> they're cutting back on people who rent 3 movies, rip them, and return them to the post office the same day
<0> you can easily go through 60 dvds a monmth that way
<1> lol
<0> ripping
<0> that's not a practice netflix should support if they don't want to, if you ask me.
<1> nerp is there a way to get p***ed the write-protect on DVDs from Block buster?
<0> you can't rip blockbuster dvds?
<0> since when?
<1> i havent tried
<1> lol
<1> well i have once
<7> how the hell are you going to write to a dvd
<7> of cours eit's write protected
<1> but it was the conventional way
<7> its not like the ****ing tab that you used to be able to get
<7> and tape over
<4> hahaha
<5> um. dvdshrink, decrypter, etc
<4> FLOPPY DISK!
<1> lol
<1> z0g-ho2 yeah ill try dvdshrink out
<0> if you mean writing TO a rented DVD, that's just silly for you to ask. they're pressed discs, they don't have dye in them that you can write to
<2> dude over in Iraq got blown up. They want him to pay for the body armor.
<0> otherwise they're perfectly rippable
<2> But wait
<2> isn't this the body armor that we didn't send the troops over there with?
<1> :S
<8> http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000CCB0OG/qid=1140291178/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/202-9741383-4850252 - Will games look decent on that?
<0> sure why not?
<1> Olin oh you betcha
<2> Acer makes good LCDs
<1> everyone knows the monitor is what makes games pretty, not the video card.
<8> Just thinking of the widescreen nature of it. What resolutions will I be able to get on it?
<0> any new LCD is fine for gaming. the ghosting issues are not really relevant anymore.
<0> Olin - the specifications listed on the manufacturer's website will tell you that
<0> you want to run the LCD at it's native resoution and that's it
<8> nerp: Good call.
<3> apparently there is a www.widescreen.com or something that has patches and hacks for games to make them play on widescreen resolutions
<0> any lower or higher and it will scale the image which degrades the quality significantly
<0> e.g., i run all my games at 1280x1024 since that's my native res.
<0> games look waaay better at that res than 1024x768
<0> and if I COULD run higher than 1280, it would be blurryish
<4> 1600x1200!
<2> jesus man, it's 2006.
<1> its wierd, i have an LCD but **** looks so blurry using 1280x1024
<2> Don't they have monitors with dynamically adjusted liquid crystal components
<0> sometimes a slight reduction in a graphics setting to run at native res will still look better than a lower res with higher graphics settings due to the scaling
<7> FKnight`: yessir rip van winckle
<0> hehe FK
<2> change the monitor's DPI on the fly
<1> so i use 1024x960
<0> different panels that slide over the screen. . .
<3> PEOPLE! LCD screens have a NATIVE resolution, a PHYSICAL number of pixels horizontal by pixels vertical
<8> nerp: what monitor do you have?
<3> if you run other than the NATIVE resolution
<0> I have the dell 2001 thingy
<3> **** looks "blurry"
<2> I'm saying that it's 2006. Why don't we have LCDs where the number of pixels can be dynamic
<0> thinking of gettting an enormous LCD later this year
<3> becaues it has to extrapolate a fractional number of pixels across two physical pixels
<0> so FK should I buy some weed today?
<2> they could make it so you press a button and on the fly the pixels reconfigure themselves in the LCD
<2> nerp: uuhh yeah
<0> ok
<0> ring....
<2> hey man
<0> ring. . . .
<2> I don't wanna know about it
<1> lol
