<0> hi there
<1> hondje, hey
<1> hondje semi important issues at hand
<1> :D
<2> Tweek888: important? in #physics? surely not!
<1> it is about chemistry
<1> :)
<2> aha, that explains it
<2> I take it the chem channel failed, then?
<3> you wouldnt have an answer anyways arbscht
<3> :P
<2> yeah
<1> yea
<1> anyone know a way to make a DIY pill press?
<1> hondje, !
<4> Tweek888: jeeez go to bed
<1> no you
<4> im about to....
<5> hello
<6> hello
<5> hows it going
<6> ok, just wish i had more memory in this thing
<6> you?
<5> doing fine have plenty of memory in this thing
<6> how much you got?
<7> pkiddie how much do you make per month?
<5> haha 2 gigs :)
<6> damn you
<7> how much money*
<7> alunduil hmm how many megs do u have?
<6> i have 512MB, but i'm using 1GB o.O
<5> NoorulIslaam, what is it too you
<7> pkiddie just seeing
<5> alunduil, yeah i just recently bought a sweet machine
<7> alunduil heh. i've got 512MB too
<6> yeah, but i bet you're not using a gig of that
<6> lol
<5> NoorulIslaam, i make enough, more money then i've ever seen sense i can remember
<7> let's see...
<7> pkiddie cool. what do you do?
<5> NoorulIslaam, a write driver code
<6> nice
<6> so what's your interest in physics?
<5> sorry if my typing is messed up im pretty drunk i must admit
<7> i'm using about 360 MB at the moment
<6> lol, that is alright
<5> alunduil, um i just got into a physics graduate program
<6> NoorulIslaam, what desktop manager are you running?
<7> pkiddie so, do you do work in theoretical physics or cosmological related stuff...perhaps a unified theory or something?
<5> so i started hanging out here i hang out at #electronics and #math a lot
<7> alunduil WinXP SP2 :D
<5> NoorulIslaam, i am just getting started with physics stuff im taking quantum mechanics in the fall and differential geometry it looks like
<7> i hate linux and windows equally
<7> pkiddie i see
<6> what do you prefer?
<5> linux
<6> what is your emphasis pkiddie?
<7> i use windows most of the time here...
<5> gentoo actually
<6> really, mine as well
<6> gonna switch my webserver over this fall
<7> but there were times when i used linux exclusive
<5> alunduil, um im signed up to take a lot of guantum mechanics and so forth
<7> at one point i even ran my own linux distro made from scratch
<6> yeah, but have you chosen an emphasis yet?
<6> wow, NoorulIslam
<6> NoorulIslam you attend an university?
<5> alunduil, no not yet how about you?
<7> alunduil yeah
<7> but i'm most probably dropping out next year
<6> i'm not a grad student yet, but i'm going to emphasize in condensed matter theory.
<6> why is that? NoorulIslam?
<7> well...i never had an interest in studying
<7> i'm a CS major
<7> and it's really boring
<6> never stopped me
<6> i'm physics and CS
<6> quite a fascinating duo
<7> because of the courses i failed and quarters i withdrew from
<7> i'm a full year behidn
<7> behind*
<6> but i agree CS would be boring by itlelf
<7> physics and CS are my top interests
<7> and practically speaking, i excel in CS
<6> what's the problem with being behind?
<7> that's not the problem
<7> the thing is...
<7> an opportunity has come up
<6> ah
<6> how much?
<7> i could make it really big if it works out
<6> you could
<6> how much they offer you?
<7> me and a couple of friends gonna start a software business
<6> oh
<6> doing what?
<7> well they aren't CS people actually
<6> what type of software i mean
<7> they do economics and finance
<6> so something like quicken?
<7> they're gonna give me some financial software to make
<6> nice
<7> they've done internships with some other people
<6> i hope you find a niche for it
<5> NoorulIslaam, so whats the idea?
<5> alunduil, condensed matter as an undergrad where you going to school?
<6> yeah, what's the difference between your software and quicken, or gnucash, or anything else?
<7> and those people told them that if such a software was made, they'd buy it immediately for a good price ;)
<6> i'm not doing my emphasis yet :P
<7> alunduil and you know what software that guy was talking about?
<6> just finishing my undergrad then going on into condensed matter theory
<5> alunduil, nice. cs ill agree though is boring
<7> one of my friends wrote a complete excel spreadsheet with a full financial analysis for some company
<6> what software?
<5> at the undergrad level at least
<6> yep
<6> but it makes physics so much easier!
<7> the guy told my friend he'd buy it for a couple hundred thousand rupees
<6> wow
<7> so we thought then
<6> now what is that in dollars?
<6> 20?
<7> why don't i just take the spreadsheet, and convert it into a full-fledged windows program
<6> or 200?
<7> add some extra features
<5> alunduil, programming is a great skill embedded also
<7> and we could triple the price
<6> good idea
<7> alunduil lol no...
<6> pkiddie, i know i had to learn fortran to do this summer's research.
<6> why not?
<5> alunduil, what you research?
<7> 200,000 pakistani rupees is 6,666 US dollars
<6> i'm researching dilute magnetic semiconductors right now
<6> that's a nice sum NoorulIslam
<7> hmm yeah
<7> very good for 2 weeks worth of programming
<6> sure the hell is
<7> and that's only for 1 copy of the program :P
<6> i know
<6> but it's hard to lock an excel sheet and make it closed source
<5> haha
<7> lol
<7> that's why we aren't gonna sell excel sheets :P
<6> thought so
<7> i'll be converting the spreadsheet to a C program with a nice UI on top
<6> so why not make a cross-platform closed source finance software?
<6> i.e. use QT
<7> alunduil we're gonna do that later on
