<0> beautiful, I can't even format the Drive
<1> pull my strings. I am a puppet
<0> that's how f'd up this problem has become
<2> ff ftw.
<3> Barsky: and then they wondered why some sites didn't work
<1> yeah
<4> ****in router
<2> wb sartan
<1> "My internet is broke"
<1> MY :D
<2> yup, just your internet
<2> no one else's
<4> i give up
<2> good idea, sartan
<4> FKnight: though it's good to know i'm not the only one that this happens to
<1> wait. actually, that's when they know enough to call it the internet and not say Web, as if that is the internet :)
<2> intarweb!
<1> yeah
<1> I heard interweb on the news the other morning
<3> Barsky: I agree totally with what you're saying... the problem is, the situation is such that no matter what MS does, their new OS will be seen, by the vast majority of the "can't give a ****" public as being more of the same
<2> my world wise web is down
<3> which is ... bad for their bottom line
<1> after I swallowed down the puke, I laughed
<4> well...
<4> time to go golfing!
<3> and the can't-give-a-**** public WILL NOT go download Linux
<3> no matter what the Linux ****nuts say
<1> jet; probably. and some dumb*** at PCMag will tell them it's flawed
<3> because they simply don't give a ****
<2> part of them will
<1> or not even pcmag. those idiots in the national newspapers
<3> Barsky: they're worse
<1> who have less of a clue than most of them
<0> ok guys
<2> usa today
<1> yeah :)
<0> thanks for al the help
<0> good night
<3> like the "there are 50,000 known bugs in Windows XP" **** after it was released
<5> I love how domain registry changes are like instantaneous to the root servers now
<5> remember when it used to take 48 hours ?
<5> or more?
<3> ya, there were probably 50,000 open calls in MS's bug database
<1> but, vista's gui is different enough that I think they will be more aware this time
<6> or 5 days
<1> along with all the press
<3> some of which were "receipt on this dialog is spelt reciept instead of receipt"
<1> I mean, for the most part win95-win2003 all look about the same
<1> vista is very different
<7> runoff vote tomorrow in the Chocolate City
<3> you think?
<1> so you can't blame them. I mean, over a decade of pretty much the same gui
<3> all I've seen is screenshots, I shouldn't comment
<2> Jet: that's still a bug :P
<1> jet; have you checked it out?
<1> it's quite different
<2> I should grab a machine and test vista out
<1> and god damn it, they better put back a delete icon somewhere :)
<1> sick of right clicking to do that
<1> also, they better make the gui's security way less a total pain in the ***
<2> hrm?
<1> I suppose the m***es won't encoutner it much...when they install an app and such
<2> has anyone here actually tested vista in a GPO environment?
<1> but for someoen actually doing something, the constant screen dim, popup to ask to allow it is frustrating
<8> when is vista supposed to be released?
<2> sometime next year
<1> Jan or so
<2> or the year after
<2> we'll see
<1> jan the earliest
<1> Aurelius: I took my lappy to work and joined the domain with it
<9> experts predicted 2nd-3rd q 2007
<8> Barsky: got a screen shot?
<2> Barsky: and?
<2> good bad?
<1> we don't have that much GPO going on and I believe it did not run login scripts. can't remember if I got that goign
<2> will it possibly add more GPO settings?
<2> hrm
<2> not running login scripts == bad
<1> my wifi was more of a pain to get working that in previous versions. but at beta 2, who gives a ****. too early to judge anything
<1> Aurelius: I'm talking vista desktop, not server
<2> what are the minimum specs for vista?
<10> damn
<1> ***loads of everything :)
<2> Barsky: that part concerns me
<10> this SimpleDivX encoder is slow as balls
<10> well, i guess not
<1> it is fine on my 2ghz centrino 1gig mem laptop
<10> been 2 hours its 35% done
<10> with a full length dvd
<10> to xvid
<1> and I do get Gl*** with my 256 nvidia 6800 go
<3> so that'll be about 6 hours to finish
<2> how much memory do you have free on a clean install, did you happen to notice?
<1> and even in beta 2 with all the debug code that must be in there, it was very responsive
<2> we're looking at buying some machines instead of going TS here
<1> definalely less than xp by a couple 100 mb iirc
<2> p4 3ghz, 1gig ram
<1> maybe it was only 150 less. not sure
<1> gig of ram is still fine
<2> i just wanna make sure i'm not gonna shortchange oursevlves
<11> anyone here know much about tape drives?
<1> oh geez. you have no worries
<2> Barsky: shooting for 4 years though
<1> what video? I don't know the minimum reqs for Gl***
<12> whats good software that emulates tivo?
<1> Aurelius: if it is good at release, it'll be good in 4 years
<3> you need min 256MB on your video card for gl*** I think
<1> is that it? k.
<1> well, certainly not rare these days
<12> whats gl***?
<2> Barsky: well, the jump from 98 to XP was huge int erms of memory and cpu usage
<13> my comp randomlly does memory dump in thte blue screen every coupla days, is there some kind of diagnoistic to see if i have a hardware problem of wtf is going on
<2> and that was only what, 3 years?
<2> i don't wanna have vista's successor come out and say "**** you" to us
<1> Aurelius; yeah, but the jump from 98 to xp skipped win2000 as well and was going from a win9crap kernel to a nt kernel
<11> Will a tape drive thats made for dds-4 tapes work with ordinary dds or dds2 tapes?
<1> dude. no way you'll have the same computer when the windows after vista comes out
<12> Jet: whats gl***?
<1> I mean, jet may, but you won't :D
<2> i mean, we've got an old 800mhz machine here still running 98
<1> *hugs* jet :)
<3> !google windows vista gl***
<14> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista
<2> that's how out of touch this company was prior to me joining
<2> i'm slowly migrating everything to "new"
<2> this was a cash register company
<15> OOOOHHH GAAOOOWWDaAAaaaHHH.
<2> computers were the afterthought
<1> and btw, at this point I see no point to the Sidebar other than as a screen realestate waster. so far the **** you can put on it are gimmicky crap
<2> now we're a point of sale/ecr company
<2> computers are _it_
<1> thankfully, you can turn it off
<2> Barsky: like xeyes?
<2> :)
<16> Slanter: I believe the dds specs are all supposed to be backward compatible, but it's been a long while since I'v worried about such issues. Try google.
<1> hehe
<2> unless i can run xeyes, it's useless
<15> Bart Should I stay late today?
<1> go the **** home.
<1> fly here for the weekend and take 2 ****ing days off already
<1> and they should pay the airfare
<1> you get your new title/raise yet?
<1> or are they waiting for everything to be fixed first so when the raise ****s they don't have to worry about you quiting? bastards!
<1> :)
<1> <---XTR support group :)
<1> mind you, I am not using vista now. it is not yet ready for full time
<16> Oh well. Time to get down off this rock. "Goodbye Mountain"
<1> brokeback
<1> man, if britney's kid actually lives to adulthood, that is gonna be one ****ed up kid
