<0> or, leave first, then read the man page.
<1> DeltaDrone: If you did, your first stop would have been grep's man page.
<0> either is acceptable.
<2> my first stop was greps man page
<2> sometimes they are simple
<2> but it wasn't
<2> and i reallised that it would take me about 30 mins to get the answer that way
<1> DeltaDrone: Why do you lie?
<0> so you opened up grep's man page, decided "reading is hard!" and decided to come bother someone who has actually read?
<3> DeltaDrone: those are 30 minutes well spend.
<3> the time you invest to search for a solution is very likely to make you come across many other interesting facts and tidbits. THAT is the whole issue of learning.
<1> DeltaDrone: Unless you're truly stupid, you could not have failed to see the description of recursion, since it is its own option in its own text block.
<3> and guess what? Now its 30, tomorrow it'll be 20 and if you repeat this process a few times it'll be instantaneous.
<1> DeltaDrone: Therefore, you did not bother to look.
<2> this is true but if what I really need to do is find an instance of a SINGLE directive in an open OMP code, so that I can write a prog in a sensible ammount of time, then that is not the wisest thing to do
<1> You're a programmer? Gods, heaven help whoever you work for.
<3> DeltaDrone: so get yourself a support contract
<1> The wisest thing to do isn't to learn how to read?
<3> oh well, utterly boring.
<2> well i mostly know windows
<2> and im a student learning to code
<1> DeltaDrone: How is your knowledge of Windows relevant?
<2> in that most of the time spent in my life on computer has been in learning how to do things well in windows
<4> *g*
<3> yo(z)! ;-)
<2> and why my knowledge of unix is lacking
<1> DeltaDrone: Again, how is that relevant?
<3> yoz: how's life treating you? Over here its /way/ too hot.
<0> DeltaDrone: and now you're going to waste that half hour you coulda been reading the man page driveling and whining in here?
<2> can i just ask, do you lot just swear at eachother when newbs arn't in?
<1> DeltaDrone: I realize that your personal stupidity doesn't allow you to get from "I don't know that" to "maybe I should read the instructions", but come on...
<4> sweet.
<1> DeltaDrone: "newb" is an excuse.
<2> well its good to know that im excused
<5> hey means
<4> wtf?
<5> How i can configure postfix?
<3> salvatore: start by reading its manual.
<4> I love those questions
<5> Lion-O, what manual?
<3> salvatore: the postfix manual? Just a very broad guess though.
<4> lol
<0> salvatore: the one you'll find at www.postfix.org
<5> Lion-O, Ok
<3> gee, it seems as if the European heat has burned down every remaining braincells of all the cluebies out there.
<3> s/braincells/braincell/
<5> i love iptables :)
<6> :S
<7> oh crap. xorg config is boned. /me hunts google
<3> reminds me to do some checking up myself as well.. X runs smoothly but the moment I exit my KDE session and get back into kdm the monitor starts to reconfigure itself automaticly.
<3> Cause is simple; a nice KDE idea which can fsck things up. The
<3> whoops
<6> i bet it's doing that on purpose
<3> "allow the user to adjust the X configuration within KDE manually". So you can make KDE re-adjust itself.
<6> just to annoy j00 :P
<6> i wonder why people find the fact that they're talking in an internet/computer environment, a reason for being antisocial.
<1> Whyinhell does KDE offer the opportunity to alter the X configuration?
<1> Wait... KDE devs are morons. Forgot that one.
<7> hm. can't find nvidia (module does not exist) ok. modules was compiled. and modprobes... now where the hell is it looking for it then?
<6> did you just upgrade xorg?
<3> mwilson: *nod*, thats the whole issue. Instead of cooking something up specificly aimed at tuning X (which they have in a lesser degree) they're basicly patching stuff which isn't broken to begin with.
<7> libiuc2 yup
<8> how much are they payin (USD) for sperm domantions these days?
<9> Steakk: Depends
<6> XyZzY, and let me guess, you reinstalled the nvidia drivers and now it says that it can't find the nvidia module?
<8> reality, thats no help :{
<8> :P
<9> Steakk: Well, if you're a blond haired, blue eyed, college educated individual, that tends to pay more than a black haired, buck toothed, redneck
<7> libiuc2 bingo
<9> Steakk: The real money is in plasma donation
<8> yeah, but i cant get the # for the one in town to know if it is open
<6> XyZzY, the nvidia installer copies all the libglx.so **** in /usr/lib/opengl or something, the mofos from xorg changed the location of the directory where it looks for modules.
<9> Steakk: I'm sure it is
<9> liviuc2: ln -sf
<6> reality, don't tell me, tell XyZzY .
<8> reality, on a sunday though?
<7> libiuc2 figures
<9> Steakk: Nope
<9> XyZzY: ln -sf
<9> hehe
<6> XyZzY, and it's liviu :P
<6> it was just a v...
<10> Do we really need to put it to discussion? If so, I'll happily kick you now, as that will be the conclusion of such a debate
<8> reality, you ever donate(sell?) plasma?
<9> Steakk: I have an autoimmune disease...so that precludes me from being able to donate
<8> reality, just wondering what the process was, and how long afterwards before I can drive again
<10> The whole concept of sperm donations is a stupid one.
<3> PolarWolf: "money talks" :/
<10> Yeh
<0> laws of supply and demand :)
<9> Steakk: It's just like giving blood except they'll put the blood back into your body
<3> siglite: true, it would be nice if common sense would also be included which in many cases isn't.
<10> I think its best to leave it at that as people might be offended if I utter my opinion on it :)
<9> Steakk: Overall, about an hour and a half for everything before you can go home
<10> Besides, steg ain't here to argue about it
<8> ahhh
<0> nope. Common sense is rarely a factor in supply and demand. And this is how we have soccer moms kicking each other's ***es outside department stores for Elmo dolls.
<3> Like Pa and Ma -wannabe who are both 50 - 55 and still wish to have a kid. I mean, wtf? Try thinking what kind of childhood the kid will have; his parents will be his immediate substitute of the grandparents too.
<3> "C'mon dad, lets play baseball!" "wait, wait, let me get my teeth and cane first.. arrgh" :-)
<10> I wouldn't even want my kid to have a 70 year old as a parent when it reaches puberty
<0> I think a big market for sperm donations are lesbians and single women who want to be single moms.
<3> PolarWolf: thats the point indeed. Some people don't seem to bother to actually think that far ahead.
<8> any places out there that will pay me $7,000 to like, donate a kidney or something?
<11> Steakk: now, why in hell would you want to do that?
<3> Steakk: sorry but the market has been opensourced :P
<8> whyzzyrd, for $7,000 :P
<8> peter: haha
<3> PolarWolf: such a fitting topic :) I bet you had to think very hard to come up with such a catchy yet totally fitting description of the current mood in here ;-)
<10> Lion-O: No, it came naturally, actually
<11> Steakk: but, what'll it do to your health insurance.
<8> health insurance?
<8> ****, i knew i needed something
<11> Steakk: See, getting $7k for a part of ones body that might become essential is beyond me..
<11> Steakk: it'd be like donating your left bollock, in the hope that the right one would keep working overtime forever.
<8> bollock?
<10> Steakk: I know a way to make some money where you don't need to lose limbs voluntarily
<0> what, get a job?
<10> Haha
<8> I have a job
<10> Steakk: Join the Legion :)
<3> ha ha ha!
<8> Legion? huh? I aint gonna ask
<0> ohhh, now the "voluntarily" caveat makes sense.
<10> You get to work out, make some cash you won't need anyway, see something of the world
<3> Steakk: you get to goto France in warm nice places. See the world.
<3> lol
<10> You only need to become french, but hey, small price
<8> oy
<11> Steakk: Oh, and they'd shoot you if you tried to cheat them on anything..
<8> hah
<8> I'd die right away then :P
<11> Steakk: but at least you'd have learned your lesson.
<8> True, true
<11> Anyone watching the US Procession ^H^H^H Grand Prix..
<12> how, in my c program, can I test if the p***word of a user is valid without prompt (su..) ?
<11> arcturus: man getent
<12> thx :o
<7> oh fscking crap. the fragile outer shell of my 4gb SD card cracked in half still functional however
<7> hm wonder if there is any way to repair the thing...
<11> XyZzY: How'd you manage that?
<11> XyZzY: how much clearance around the thing is there when it's in a slot?
<7> whyxxyrd: was just putting it into my card reader and it was a little crooked
<11> XyZzY: I'd be thinking superglue and paper.
<7> Gathond, not any more. have 4 of them now
<11> XyZzY: if you can superglue a sheet of paper over the side that's cracked, it'll be pretty strong, and not very fat.
<7> whyxxyrd: you done that before I take it?
<11> XyZzY: Our helicopter at work is held together with superglue n paper.
<11> XyZzY: not to an SD card, but I've used it for other flat things that mustn't get much fatter.
<7> whyxxyrd: actualy i managed to crack both sides
