Comments:
<0> but I probably would play more games if they didn't perform so terribly
<0> GTA3 was bad enough, San Andreas was virtually unplayable
<1> if I cared that much, I'd put a PCI graphics card in and use the nvidia for 3d
<0> I have a really nice ELSA card kicking around
<1> I like the quality of skypeout
<2> ooh
<0> now that I'm reduced to single-headed operation (primary display died last night :( ) I might put it in
<2> waven't played bzflag in *ages*
<3> Liandrin: was that the primary display that was taking 20 mins to warm up enough to work?
<1> Liandrin: I find it impossible to effectively develop on one head these days. This is why I bought a nice monitor yesterday
<0> whyzzyrd, yeah
<3> Liandrin: ****age.
<0> whyzzyrd, I waited an hour last night and nothing :|
<3> Liandrin: was it anything nice, or just a generic?
<0> whyzzyrd, Dell-badged 20" Trinitron
<1> worldwide calls for like 0.015E a minute, has to be good :)
<1> ****s against BT national rates though
<0> I've noticed that North America wholesale is now so cheap many calling plans are starting to include unlimited North America-wide free calling
<3> Liandrin: pity.
<2> no bz update since sept 2005???? wtf??
<0> whyzzyrd, one suspects something like a failing (now failed) capacitor or other such component
<0> whyzzyrd, but I'm nowhere near brave enough to **** around inside a monitor ;)
<3> Liandrin: you any good with a soldering iron?
<0> whyzzyrd, I'm good at desoldering, pretty pathetic at soldering
<3> Liandrin: If you were to give me the model number, I could get the schematic, and the have a look on euras.
<3> D1626HT?
<0> whyzzyrd, that would require access to the back of the monitors, which is currently extremely inaccessible
<0> whyzzyrd, something makes me want to say D2016T, but I couldn't swear to that
<0> whyzzyrd, damn you, now I'm going to *have* to gain access to the back of my monitors, or else be consumed by curiosity :P
<0> hm, wonder if I can be a smart ape for once
<3> google the number, look if it's the same.
<3> no sausages for that one then.
<2> mmmm sausages
<0> damn, can't find the hand mirror
<3> DaveHowe: you just had steak no?
<2> not yet - leaving it to about 10
<3> jesus
<3> why eat so damn late?
<2> whyzzyrd: I normally work until after 6, get home after 7. got used to having my main meal late evening
<3> DaveHowe: suppose
<4> Tamahome_: 4-5 here
<5> it's cuz I like to listen to Radio Netherlands when I go to bed... but it's too intellectually engaging which makes it hard to fall asleep
<1> I manage anywhere from 8pm to 4am, depending :)
<0> until last night I'd been crashing typically between 2300 and 2330
<0> which is unusual for me, being the nightwalker that I am
<0> whyzzyrd, Windows claims it's a D2026T
<0> whyzzyrd, but I don't trust DDC as far as I can throw it
<6> does anyone know of an application that will convert avi/vob/mov/wmv/asf files to mp3 ?
<5> www.videohelp.com
<6> oooo thanks
<0> whyzzyrd, Google only seems to turn up the D2026T-HS, which is the wrong monitor
<5> they have lots of conversion applications
<6> great thanks so much :)
<3> Liandrin: C677 (100u/25V) and C683(1000u/16V) on the G-board, also resolder IC 603.
<3> Liandrin: for FCC ID AK8GDM20E03
<3> Liandrin: That's the only 20" dell trinitron I've listed in the database.
<7> I've compiled lighttpd on centos but I can't find it anywhere
<0> whyzzyrd, having found better pictures, it does indeed look like my monitor
<4> wamty: we don't care
<3> Liandrin: ok, want me to find out which the G-board is, visually?
<0> whyzzyrd, that would be helpful
<3> Liandrin: IIRC it's the main board.
<3> 2 caps, and check the joints on 1 IC.
<8> tsokolat!
<3> Not too bad eh?
<3> Liandrin: there should be only 2 boards in that ch***is. The main board, and the board on the back of the CRT.
<3> Liandrin: Confirmed, the G board is the mainboard.
<1> whyzzyrd: I'm amazed you can find the schematics for this stuff online
<2> smsie: there is a site, but its pay-to-play
<1> ah
<3> DaveHowe: you know euras don't you?
<3> smsie: schematics for free is good too.
<2> whyzzyrd: yeah, but I don't have a login
<9> cheeksy
<9> g'morning all
<3> Reminds me, I need to look up why my pana is making ****in awful noises.
<4> greetings and salutations tsokolat
<9> oh. afternoon already
<9> howdy K_F
<4> 21:20 here :)
<10> tsokolat tsokolat tsokolat
<9> cheeksy: i'm going clamming and then play tennis.. wanna come?
<4> yoz: ouch
<10> tsokolat: i would love to, but my liver would pull me down to the ground as it feels like a huge big rock.
<4> tsokolat: clamming?
<10> rocks my world this evening too.
<11> K_F: yeah.. ;) ouch!
<9> K_F.. yeah. the tide is low at 2 today.
<4> yoz: have some beer, it will help
<4> tsokolat: so for crab?
<11> K_F: heh.. good idea! ;)
<4> hmm, we usually grab those in larger quantas. about 150~300 a day :)
<9> cheeksy: you need to see a doctor very soon. you have been procrastinating with that liver issue.
<12> hmm
<4> cheeksy: yeah, that doesn't sound too good
<13> god damn scriptspammers
<9> cheeksy: how can i help you so you go and see a doctor? =p
<7> Im trying to download graphic drivers for Redhat 9.0, and i have 3 choices: Linux IA32, Linux IA64 or Linux AMD64/EM64T, which one to pick?
<4> 1) upgrade the system
<14> wamty: Whaich CPU does your computer contain?
<4> 2) you should know that yourself
<14> wamty: Actually, said distro probably only runs on IA32 anyway
<14> wamty: but yeah, as K_F says, upgrade to something modern.
<7> PII
<4> so a 32 bit architecture then
<14> wamty: Then IA32
<15> hi guys... i wrote this line: cat /var/log/messages|grep 'Accepted p***word'|cut -f1,3,4,12 -d ' '
<15> it produces the desired effect, printing the succesful logins
<15> how can i add two spaces at the begining of each line it produces ?
<15> i can't manage it with pipes
<0> dj_damix, |sed 's/^/ /'
<0> yanno, I need to get rich so I can just pay someone to transfer all my vinyl and c***ettes to digital, instead of labouring over it myself
<15> thanks Liandrin, for "sed"... i'll look into it
<0> dj_damix, btw, use fgrep instead of grep when you're not actually using any special regular expression syntax -- it's faster, because it looks for literal strings only
<2> Liandrin: is fgrep actually a separate binary for you? most distros I have seen its just a hardlink to grep...
<0> DaveHowe, with the GNU grep package, grep, fgrep, and egrep are all one binary
<0> DaveHowe, but it inspects argv[0] to try to guess which one it's been invoked as, when you don't explicitly give it -E -F -G
<14> Liandrin: You are dating yourself, actuallyadmitting to owning significant quantities of music on analog media ;)
<0> DaveHowe, and each one uses a distinct mode of operation
<0> wlfshmn, I own quite a few 45-RPM singles that are older than I am
<14> uhm...the printer next to my office just started spitting out significant quantities of pages.. at 21:48 on a sunday...
<2> is it the cleaner's CV? :)
<14> hmm.. nothing was *actually* printed
<0> ... it just started spitting out blank pages?
<0> that's even more mysterious than a long-delayed print job ;)
<14> I think the printer is haunted, and the ghost is on UTC, with a poorly calibrated watch.
<2> check the job queue to see where it is coming from?
<14> or no, UTC is the other way, damn it
<14> the ghost must be on moscow time then
<14> Liandrin: no, it made all the noice of printing pages, without actually printing, or moving pages around
<14> Liandrin: some maintenance cyle or sometihng I suppose
<0> wlfshmn, what technology of printer?
<14> a richo af3030, big overly competent laser printer
<0> "overly competent", heh
<2> hmmm. could be a warmup cycle - which a lot of network-aware printers will do if they get *any* traffic on the lan card aimed at them - even if its for a closed port
<1> DaveHowe: as opposed to the HP pile of ****e we have, which tales five minutes to warm up if it hasn't been used in the last twenty minutes
<14> Liandrin: well, by that I mean it has lots of features I care little for
<1> okay, that is rare during the day, but still...
<4> I like my Brother HL-1430
<14> Liandrin: I'm happy with a BW laser of any sort really, and for options, I'll settle with network and duplex support
<2> smsie: that doens't exclude the above situation - often a tcp "ping" to the lpd port will cause it to go into warmup, even without a full handshake
<1> DaveHowe: really? Cool
<4> ping -b 255.255.255.255
<2> K_F: that's icmp ping, not tcp ping
