<0> whyzzyrd: Lion-O likes to start early and build up to real biggies (the op-test wheeze was like 2-3 weeks prior to apr1. The "results" were supposed to be announced on the 1st April
<1> Lion-O: suspect it's different culture.
<2> its funnier that way.
<2> everyone expects to be tripped on that date :P
<0> yeah, I think it works well
<3> i wonder what's he latest RFC
<0> killall-9: there are several a year these days...everyone wants in on tha act
<4> whoa!!! pretty strong comment Lion,,,, :)
<4> BSD != linux?
<0> oh look, a talking troll!
<0> how...unusual
<5> very
<6> *sniff* *sniff*
<2> whoa
<2> "importing 26472 files"
<0> eek
<5> aha, more Dr. Who on its way
<0> into what?
<2> i had no idea i had that many MP3's :P
<0> ah
<0> I don't have that many mp3s
<0> reminds me, I have some CDs I really ought to encode
<2> "HELLO! RIAA!! HERE! 26k MP3's!"
<6> rofl
<7> we'll be right over
<0> Revenger: Helen has significantly more mp3s than that...and owns the CD for every single one of them :)
<8> ok guys, considering I'm used to slak, to what distro should I switch to make life easyer?
<2> smsie: i'll be honest. 2/3 of them i have as CD.
<5> sk8ing: why switch? easiest would be to stick with what you got.
<2> the rest i found on the interwehb.
<8> you just said it's not that the best one to have
<0> Revenger: yeah. I have a far smaller collection (about 1000), but there's maybe 10 I don't either have CD for or I don't have the right to have...
<0> and those, I either haven't got around to deleting yet, or haven't got around to buying the CD
<2> german law still is good for that.
<2> i am allowed to have them.
<2> for personal use only tho.
<0> Revenger: UK law says that *even* if I own the CD I can't have the mp3. But **** that, it's insanity
<2> do they actually enforce that ?
<0> no
<8> I have like... 3 audio cds and 8000 mp3's...
<0> Revenger: they don't bother to try enforcing it even...but there is no 'fair use' provision in UK cpyright law
<3> smsie: 26k tracks... would mean at least 500 cds
<2> *nod*
<0> killall-9: Helen owns about 1400 CDs
<2> killall-9: around 700 CD's here
<9> hwo can i uncompress a zip archive in linux?
<9> *how
<3> Dredlord: unzip
<9> killall-9 ?
<2> lol
<8> :)))
<0> it got to the stage where mp3ing them up was the only way to manage them
<0> she has slimp3 players all over the house
<2> heh
<2> and an ipod in the loo ? :P
<0> nah, they're players that are plugged into ethernet. Small, standalone and grab the music from the server
<2> Lion-O: we played a very heavy prank on the female co-workers some years ago..
<2> connected a tape recorder to the woman's loo
<2> as soon they took a seat, 10 seconds pause and then a dark male voice: "Hey you, please move a bit to the side, we are working down here and need light" :P
<5> lol
<0> I'm amazed they allowed you to live :)
<2> hehehe.
<6> hi Kristian!
<3> i wonder how the vacuum cleaner worked at all - it was stuffed solid
<10> hehe
<10> morning yoz
<6> ;)
<11> dty
<12> hello
<12> what can I use to write a boot image
<1> dfskl: ask a sensible question. Probably a pen and some paper would do, but it'd not be very useful.
<12> lol, no it does not
<12> I need to create a boot floppy]
<1> do you have an image of one?
<10> dfskl: man dd
<12> yes I have an image
<1> There were probably tools for windows lying not too far from where you got the image.
<1> if you're on linux, use dd, as described above by K_F
<10> usually follows a binary for windows
<10> afternoon whyzzyrd
<1> afternoon.
<12> I extracted them from an iso because failed to creat it bootable
<12> when buring it to a DVD
<10> whyzzyrd: I have to tidy my apartment / office as well
<1> dfskl: you burned it wrong then.
<10> dfskl: read the manual, I'm sure it says what to do
<1> K_F: I'm doing it for 2 reasons.
<6> my room's fine now..
<10> whyzzyrd: getting visitors?
<10> yoz: hehe
<1> K_F: the workbench is held up by not much at all, and I've to bolt cladding to one wall.
<6> I do that every saturday though!
<10> yeah, saturday is good for washing clothes and cleaning the apartment
<10> whyzzyrd: http://www.kfwebs.net/news/501/Presentation-about-OpenPGP
<10> whyzzyrd: well, happy tidying then :)
<13> remember that song "gotta get through this" by daniel beddingfield? I found a "kid bop" version on itunes... ugh
<14> can you tell me please which printer has cheapest consumables? any reference?
<0> lorainee: hplj is probably as cheap as it gets page for page
<0> once you have a toner cartridge, it costs about to fill it...good for maybe 20,000 pages
<0> 10,000 anyway
<0> this is a luverly monitor
<0> http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/WF05a/20491-314293-314303-314303-314303-12314724.html
<1> smsie: refills don't work properly in my experience.
<0> whyzzyrd: for toner they do (in my experience)
<0> whyzzyrd: have to buy a real one maybe one time in 4
<1> smsie: I find they wear out at the edges of the drum before the 2nd refill.
<0> whyzzyrd: I've not found refills great for inkjets though
<0> whyzzyrd: hmm, not my experience, but YMMV of course :)
<14> is there any website with tests about printer consumables?
<1> smsie: they work ok for black on inkjets. Work great on epsons, but HP's the heads wear out before the ink runs out of a refill.
<0> lorainee: I don't know, but I know a google who might
<1> lorainee: You need to be more specific. There are lots of different types of consumable for a start.
<0> everything from paper to fuser is "sonsumible" potentially :)
<1> smsie: indeedy
<1> smsie: we tend to bin them when they need a fuser, they've already paid for themselves..
<0> whyzzyrd: yeah
<1> smsie: we charge 4p/sheet for laser output.
<1> Lexmarks tend to cost about 2.5/3p a sheet to run, so when they hit 80,000 sheets, they've paid for their replacement.
<0> whyzzyrd: given that I can now buy a cheap as **** laser printer for about 50 quid (which produces quality of print like I got from a 2000 quid printer 10 years ago...printers themselves are consumable :)
<1> smsie: We're currently buying Lexmark T644N's. They're about 800 quid, but can throw 47ppm.
<1> smsie: which is grand for computer cl***rooms.
<0> whyzzyrd: I'm impressed with the HP inkjet I got. 50 quid, it does scanner/photocopier/printer, and does colour prints at about 6ppm
<14> I mean ink cartigdes
<0> whyzzyrd: if I buy HP branded ink, two ink cartridges is more than a new printer
<14> whyzzyrd I need such data for many printers to chose
<1> smsie: I've got an old 890C, which is great. 16ppm black-draft, and reasonable colour.
<1> smsie: ahh, yes, but the carts that come in it have only a wee squirt in the bottom.
<0> whyzzyrd: yeah, I think this does about 10ppm black...haven't realy tested it much at that though
<0> whyzzyrd: black refills are cheap...I'll buy black
<0> not like I really need colour
<0> anything I *must* print in colour, I'll email to myself at work
<0> it's the scanner that impresses me
<0> it's significantly better than the scanner I bought 5 years ago, and the printer/scanner is significantly cheaper
<0> scans A4 at 600dpi in about 5 seconds as opposed to half a minute
<15> god imap on exchange ****s donkey ***
<0> fredk-: s/imap on//
<0> exchange ****s
<0> well, as a mail server
<15> it does the job pretty much
<15> I love my laptop now after I got two batteries in it
<0> so does a real MTA
<15> it's good for about 4:30 - 5 hours
<0> I think I'll buy another of these monitors next month
<0> very nice
<15> smsie, exchange is more than just a MTA
<0> fredk-: I know...that's its downfall IMO
<15> you know this :)
