<0> I quite like that mine can do radio
<1> wow reviews on this are ****.
<0> gives me a reason to have the hands-free set in use
<2> Dave!
<2> DaveHowe: thanks again for your tip the other day about ifranview. Its a rock solid program indeed.
<0> Lion-O: yeah. part of my standard toolkit these days
<3> can anyone explain why firefox wont render things like ♥ correctly?
<2> DaveHowe: I can imagine. Its not good to setup with a beer and no patience but once you did.. wow.
<4> TenBaseT: is &hearts in the HTML Spec?
<3> try this into a text file: <html><head></head>♥</html>
<5> TenBaseT, um, you're missing the <body></body>
<0> TenBaseT: no <body> ?
<3> sorry, my original example has a body tag
<3> but thats besides the point
<3> html 4.0 apparently
<3> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references
<4> TenBaseT: so it is.
<3> it renders okay in safari but not in firefox
<4> TenBaseT: got a url, to save me arsing about with a text file?
<3> sure, that one I just posted from wiki
<3> search for hearts
<3> and you'll see a bolded pipe char in firefox
<3> instead of a heart
<0> is there a heart in that font?
<6> TenBaseT: works fine here
<3> smsie: in firefox?
<6> TenBaseT: yep
<4> TenBaseT: http://www.intuitive.com/coolweb/entities.html lists it under "unsupported ISO character Entities"
<5> it works fine for me in Firefox
<5> do you perhaps have a font issue, TenBaseT?
<3> perhaps
<6> try a different default font
<0> renders fine here too
<4> TenBaseT: It works fine here in my 1.5.0.4
<7> Look fine here in FF
<7> likewise in IE6
<4> TenBaseT: hmm. looks like the problem's at your end, right enough.
<3> yeah, I knew something odd was going on
<8> TenBaseT: Welcome to the wonderful world of fonts, character sets, character encodings and Unicode planes
<4> rhowe: Unicode Planes? Are they like Unicode Busses? Where you wait for half an hour, and 3 come along at once?
<0> TenBaseT has a unicode plane that was never meant to fly....
<9> does any know hot bittorrent works? i've installed it (bittorrent-4.4.0-1.fc5.noarch.rpm) but i dont know how tu run it
<8> whyzzyrd: Yeah, and you still end up getting the wrong one
<6> whyzzyrd: no, they're like chisels...but sharper
<1> TenBaseT: that is the single greatest piece of html i've ever seen.
<4> smsie: last time I needed a wide-ish chisel, I found I didn't have one. So I asked the boy across the street if he had one. He gave me this wide chisel that was as blunt as a pigs arse, and about as straight.
<4> smsie: so, out I got my oilstone, and made it straight and sharp. I used it. I re-sharpened it, and returned it.
<0> so he cut himself on it and sued you?
<4> smsie: His wife pipes up, "I hope you didn't fix that, he'll take his bloody arm off with it.."
<6> nah, you borrowed it a week later and it was worse?
<6> haha
<4> smsie: Then I find him scraping paint off his gate with it.
<10> LOL...
<4> smsie: and rapidly getting as fux0red as it was when he gave me it..
<7> whyzzyrd: I find it interesting that the person you refere to as a "boy", has a wife ;)
<4> wlfshmn: Expression it is.
<6> whyzzie is about 900 years old
<6> *everyone* is a boy
<7> smsie: one of those people that just -refuse- to die ;)
<9> does anyone know how bittorrent works? i've installed it (bittorrent-4.4.0-1.fc5.noarch.rpm) but i dont know how to run it
<4> smsie: You'll find that in scotland people often refer to blokes they know as "that boy up the street".
<6> whyzzyrd: no excuse
<10> D-side: I found a free way of getting ringtones. I just take a picture, record and attach a sound to it. Act like I'm trying to send it. Immediately hit cancel. Goto my outbox, examine the message and then save the sound. Then I can use that sound as my ringtone.
<4> iplai: think we didn't hear you the first time? Think the fscking readme can't help you?
<4> anyway, I need to get off to bed. Hopefully we'll have largely finished packing by tomorrow night.
<0> night
<9> whyzzyrd, what readme? it was just a .rpm !
<4> rpm's not provide man pages, and documentation?
<4> huh, uuhuh, you know, you're like a, uuh, bunghole, or something..
<1> eh. beavis and butthead were mildly amusing.
<1> this guy just makes me despair.
<11> bunghole...heh heh
<0> http://rpmseek.com/rpm/bittorrent-4.4.0-1.fc5.noarch.html?hl=com&cs=BitTorrent:PN:0:0:1:0:2855475&ShowFileList=1
<11> bungholio
<4> "I am the great cornholio".
<11> "
<11> "Are you THREATENING me?"
<4> "I must cook a feast, fit for the great cornholio".
<11> "I need TP for my bunghole"
<4> "I guess I am".
<4> Vaya Con Cornholio.
<4> right. bed
<6> aha!
<6> there's the bastard thing!
<4> smsie: find a mirror?
<6> close :)
<1> and buildworld continues to chug along.
<12> hmm, this dude on flightline (discovery) seems to have flown a LOT of aircrafts
<1> this is the first instance i can think of where having a dual core machine has made a huge difference.
<12> D-side, with kernel builds?
<1> fredk_: in this instance, cvsup'ing a vmware freebsd install.
<12> ah yeah, what kinda box?
<1> fredk_: amd64 3800+ X2
<12> ah cool
<12> fast?
<1> gig of ram. vm only had 384, but hey. works great.
<1> fast enough i suppose.
<12> mmm, I should be getting my 2 x Dual Core xeon soon (dempsey(
<1> its on a windows box, and i've been compiling for over an hour, with no problems on the desktop side.
<12> )
<12> nice
<1> i'm sure not complaining for a change. :)
<12> hehehe
<10> oh hell. I just send myself a PIX message from vzw.com and save myself the trouble
<10> heya db2
<10> how goes it?
<11> ayup...that's me...fine...relaxing
<10> cool. got a free cell phone for helpng with a computer :)
<11> ok...sounds reasonable :)
<10> yep
<10> and it's a VZW phone so I can get it activated tomorrow. :)
<11> cool...
<13> cappicard: What phone?
<10> samsung A670
<13> Heh, isn't that phone free anyway when you get a plan with them?
<1> could be.
<1> thts a damn good point. heh
<10> well, this was my brother-in-law's mother's old phone.
<10> she got a razr and I can have this phone.
<13> The a850 and a630 are both free
<10> (I normally don't qualify for a new phone until October, but I can switch phones if I buy it or get it from someone else)
<13> Verizon is too rich for my blood
<10> it doesn't cost me anything to get it reprogrammed.
<1> cappicard: ah, makes sense
<10> yep. there's ways around crap in the wireless world.
<10> I used to work for western wireless ;)
<1> i have to wait til october also.
<14> time for me to get some sleep folks goodnight everyone...
<13> I qualify for basically any phone with Tmobile for either free or greatly discounted
<13> With contract renewal of course
<10> i will have 6months left in my 2year contract in october
<13> I think I would have liked the Motorola Q but a) it's CDMA only b) no touch screen/stylus c) no wifi
<10> I'm cdma here in KC with VZW.
<10> cingular and sprint here are gsm, but I avoid sprint like the plague
<13> Sprint is CDMA
<10> well PCS anyway
<10> sprint's service in KC is crap
<13> Verizon and Sprint are the CDMA folks...everybody else (including Nextel) is gsm
<10> and they're HQ'd in overland park!
<13> I had sprint for a year. They pissed me off so bad and I pissed them off so badly that they actually dropped me as a customer.
<13> You know it's bad when a cell phone company says, "We don't want your money. Go elsewhere."
<10> their customer service ****s donkey nuts
<10> my mom had them and hated them
<13> I'm happy with Tmobile
<1> yeah. sprint's just incompetent.
<1> vz "mostly works", so i stick with them
