<ChrisBradley> 7 - 5 - 2 - 4 - 9 - 7 - OUT
<Phasip> ah, .xbindkeysrc and amixer sset 'Mic Select' 'Mic2' did it
<Xswift> hello there
<Kevin`> ChrisBradley http://kwzs.dyndns.org/accesspoint ;)
<Dagmar> ninjaz2: Well, for an extra special level of indirection, the .desktop icon for it will not actually say "Ekiga" but instead something like "Collaborative Videoconferencing Application"
<ChrisBradley> we're up to 55% on the drive... SNORE
<ninjaz2> Dagmar: well, at least there's that.
<Xswift> does someone know how to know the size of cd-r to be burnt ?
<Dagmar> Xswift: About as big as my hand
<Dagmar> ...although some of them are about the size of business cards
<ChrisBradley> You know what I should do since I have 100 gigs
<Kevin`> fill it up and buy more!
<Dagmar> ChrisBradley: Fill it with pron?
<ChrisBradley> On monday - download as many different LIVE CDs as I can
<ChrisBradley> Burn all the ISOs
<ChrisBradley> Then I have a whole bunch of flavors of Linux to play with
<infi> why monday?
<ChrisBradley> hmmm....
<raf256[laptop]> ChrisBradley: make backup of /dev/urandom
<ChrisBradley> Trap on my pole opens monday
<infi> yeah, you don't want to lose your /dev/urandom
<Dagmar> Trap what?
<ChrisBradley> For those of you who have never worked for the cable co.
<Dagmar> I'm pretty sure I don't want to Google that phrase at work
<Dagmar> I can't.
<Dagmar> I actually know how to read.
<ChrisBradley> Basically they block the cable connect with a filter on the pole until you PAY
<Dagmar> Gosh. Imagine that
<Dagmar> You mean they expect you to pay for cable?
<PurpleSmurf> adelphia does it differently
<ChrisBradley> I don't care what they do. I'm paying on monday and going live
<infi> they shouldn't, considering the **** that is shown on it :b
<norc> mh, whats the default gnome mp3 player? (that databased one, bit amarok-like)
<ninjaz2> when I got my first lancity cable modem, they shot cable through, too
<Dagmar> rhythmbox?
<norc> ahh, right =)
<norc> thanks :>
<ninjaz2> the guy who installed it gave me a little filter to hook up to the tv, and told me I could use that to watch the cable if I wanted
<ninjaz2> but when they went to docsis, they stopped :(
<PurpleSmurf> whatis docsis?
<TheBonsai> Dagmar: they collected name proposals for over 1/2 year. why didn't you just made a proposal? ;)
<ninjaz2> PurpleSmurf: some cable modem standard
<ninjaz2> Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification
<Dagmar> TheBonsai: I don't think they'd like my names.
<ninjaz2> but the original lancity modems looked kind of like car stereo amplifiers with heatsinks
<Dagmar> TheBonsai: The software I've released to date has been named James (a log rotator), Steve (a data format converter), and Edward (a paging application)
<ninjaz2> and they wanted like $250/ea for them
<Dagmar> I ****** at coming up with names for software
<ninjaz2> I rented mine though for $5/mo since I had an inkling that those would be obsolete soon
<Dagmar> Predictably, I can't write poetry
<ninjaz2> Dagmar: that thing about chambly noire and don de dieu earlier wasn't too bad, though.
<Dagmar> Yeah, but there's a corporation that would be really pissed if I were to keep using those names.
<Dagmar> I'm like a hermit crab.
<Dagmar> I can take found things and stitch them into complete madness, but without raw materials I'm just squishy lobster snack
<Diazepam> guys just installed a new CD burner and now ive got a system that hangs after login - any suggestions??
<ninjaz2> as long as you aren't using the names to sell beer, it should be ok. ;)
<ninjaz2> don de dieu was named after a boat, anyway
<slpyhd> Diazepam: get of the emds
<slpyhd> meds
<slpyhd> jumper it good
<slpyhd> and make sure your powersupply can take it
<Dagmar> Quite a lot of the time I sit there in Second Life and stick random shapes together, enable physics, and see if they explode
<slpyhd> lol
<nima> hahaha
<Dagmar> I can mostly code in the scripting language now, but green boxes aren't very visually exciting
<TheBonsai> Dagmar: heh. well, "Ekiga" isn't the best choice, of course. But it's not my decision as it's not my program ;) damien will learn to live with jokes about the name (in a german forum i read something like "sounds like electronix kindergarten") :)
<gufymike> can someoen confirm that a 2400 sempron is 32 bit and not 64?
<nima> its probably going to be 32 bit
<nima> 64bit semprons go by sempron64
<gufymike> thanks
<Skiddles^> Boo, identifiying :P
<TimeZer0> Anybody used or have an SB Extigy with Linux?
<phycho> just seen this and thought it was kinda amusing
<phycho> esp considering all the anti-mac fans in here
<phycho> http://www.darktech.org.uk/apple_warez.jpg
<phycho> lol
<PurpleSmurf> i'm not -mac
<phycho> me neither
<nima> id prefer something else, but i can use one if i have to
<phycho> heh yeah
<phycho> i like the battery life on the ibooks
<phycho> they are good for some things.
<infi> my thinkpad gets 5:45 hours :)
<nima> i like my toughbook
<infi> and unlike my Sony VAIO, it actually has remained relatively constant over almost a year
<dma147> !!! LiSt-0.1.3 released !!! --> www.linux-stats.org *fg*
<phycho> infi - how much you pay for it though ;)
<infi> my VAIO went down to 5 minutes in 9 months :b
<infi> phycho, about $2k
<infi> USD
<phycho> exactly
<phycho> **** that
<nima> hahaha, vaios ****
<phycho> heh
<infi> nima, yeah, I wish I'd known that
<phycho> i can get a second hand 700mhz ibook for about 200-300us
<phycho> with 5+hours battery
<phycho> and a second battery for next to nothing
<phycho> =)
<nima> i can get a second hand toughbook cf-m34 for about that much, with 800mhz
<phycho> infi - the really light toshiba porteage laptops are only about 700USD now.
<phycho> nima - with 5+hours batt life?
<infi> it was still worth the money to me
<infi> 80G, 1G RAM, 1.7Ghz P-M
<infi> it's frisky
<nima> phycho: with the ability to throw it off the roof of my house
<infi> with the hard drives spinning!
<infi> s/s//
<phycho> nima - haha
<phycho> pretty sweet
<nima> using it in the shower is a plus
<phycho> too bulky for me though
<phycho> i need something really lightweight
<phycho> a toshiba porteage would be nice =)
<phycho> might sell my current laptop and get on
<phycho> *one
<infi> get on one, eh?
<infi> does it come pre-configured with the FU-FME drive
<phycho> lol
<phycho> haha
<nima> did anyone here ever have a gsm startac
<ChrisBradley> I couldn't figure out knoppix
<ChrisBradley> I've got a copy but it always panics
<nima> ChrisBradley: whats it say?
<infi> you forgot to build xanax.c into the kernel
<phycho> lol
<ChrisBradley> some read error
<ChrisBradley> 15561 read error....
<nima> are you sure your cd-rom is ok?
<ChrisBradley> That's was my first thought
<infi> and jumpered properly..
<ChrisBradley> Maybe the CD was bad
<infi> oh wait
<infi> read error :)
<ChrisBradley> but I had 2 CDs
<nima> the drive, maybe?
<Kevin`> write them slowly
<ChrisBradley> Nah - formatted several times - its ok
<ChrisBradley> up to 72% on the current format of the NTFS drive
<ChrisBradley> with Win2k
<Kevin`> quick format r teh win
<nima> your cd-rom drive
<Kevin`> s/r/4
<ChrisBradley> CD ROM Drive is a DVD CD Combo - its good too
<ChrisBradley> Works with a beat up old Win2k cd
<Kevin`> dvd/cd, dvd/cdr, dvd/cdrw, dvdrw?
<ChrisBradley> Doesn't matter - I'm gonna wipe the whole thing . mon
<ChrisBradley> dvd / cd rw
<ChrisBradley> Just want it functional so the tech can "verify" that it works
<ChrisBradley> And I can sign the blasted contract
