<0> thou shalt help thine brother, when thine brother is in need of ndiswrapper
<1> sms.ie is taken
<0> thats a shame dude
<1> .ie domains are ****in STUPID expensive though
<1> EUR50/year
<2> probably restricted as well
<2> to companies in Ireland
<1> restricted?
<1> ah
<1> I'm an Irish citizzen
<2> ah
<2> well, that might help
<2> http://www.domainregistry.ie for rules
<3> jgaddis: my gf says she can take yours.. not sure where ...but it would probably look nice. off i go :)
<2> I won't be able to register it anyways
<4> Ah, well, I guess I can infer from that conversation that .ie is Ireland?
<5> Good evening my little droobies!
<5> Safemode is whipped?
<2> CeruleanD: you can
<4> keen, never knew that
<6> safemode: haha
<1> yeah, those are bollocks rules
<7> jgaddis
<7> what was the site u use to host photos?
<2> smsie: I'd recommend staying away from country-based top level domains
<1> there are reasons I don't live in .ie. Bollocksy rules like that is one of them
<7> photobucket ****
<1> I still want .aq
<1> just for the rarity value
<2> antartica?
<1> yep
<1> nobody has a .aq domain
<6> autom4ke: They're hosted on my own site.
<7> ohh
<2> smsie: I think for a reason
<7> sux then
<2> smsie: don't think any domain exists for it
<7> What engne do u use?
<1> K_F: yeah, it's because the tld is run by a bolshy **** in .nz who refuses to sell them to anyone not living in .aq :)
<6> autom4ke: Gallery2 is the software.
<7> thx
<7> let me try that here
<2> smsie: I can provide .in though :)
<1> Peter Mott the ****'s name is
<2> (although those are somewhat expensive as well)
<1> lives in Auckland
<8> why does Peter Mott ring a bell?
<1> as I understand it, he runs the internet in .nz
<8> did he work at waikato in the 90's?
<6> He's an .nz'er as well.
<6> Um, perhaps.
<8> I think I might know him.
<1> probably
<6> univ. of auckland, says his page
<1> waikato is where most of the connectivity in .aq is
<8> kosmo: Peter Mott ring a bell to you as well?
<1> there's a pipe directly to it
<8> where's .aq?
<1> ah, there is a scott.aq
<8> what tld is that?
<1> siglite: antarctica
<8> ohhhhh
<8> oh ****, that's why!
<8> heh, buddy of mine ran all the satcomms out of .aq for a long time.
<2> smsie: .aq doesn't even have a whois server ..
<4> So do you have to be an Antarctic citizen to use .aq?
<1> K_F: I know
<1> CeruleanD: nobody ios an antarctic citizen...it's not a country.
<1> CeruleanD: you have to live/work there though I believe
<1> which is about 12 people
<8> yeah, my buddy said there were about 20 at the research station
<8> he wasn't at byrd, he was at the other one
<5> Hmm too many things...
<1> there are a fair number of them actually
<1> most are academic though, and use the domains for their school
<8> this was one of the US Govt research stations
<8> apparently they provided satellite communications for everyone on the continent or something
<2> Greyfox: what about going to their competitor?
<1> siglite: McMurdo?
<8> smsie: that's it
<5> Yeah, if I could justify buying a new 3D card for the 3 times a year I actually want 3D acceleration...
<8> the messed up part is, I can't remember the guy's real name, even though I met him IRL. I just remember his 'net handle.
<2> siglite: you have no idea how many I remember by email adress but not by name
<5> Nevermind that those 3 times a year usually result in about a good solid week of pain.
<5> Each
<6> Stupid *** McAfee v8.
<1> there are epople I've known irl for years and I still call them their IRC nick
<1> jgaddis: yuck, kill, burn, *uninstall*!
<2> for some reason I tend to be KF IRL as well
<2> one of the reasons was that there were 5 named Kristian / Christian at my soccer team
<8> man, IMO, even though mcafee is trash, it beats the **** out of symantec
<2> so communication was a tad difficult without nicknames
<8> god I loathe symantec these days.
<2> mwilson: ditto
<1> our place have enabled "on-access scanning" sitewide. It was chewing up around 40-50% of my CPU all the time
<8> I'm becoming a big fan of trend micro
<1> it mysteriously stopped working on my PC a few days ago
<6> smsie: I actually like it, it's just not working right on Vista.
<1> which (I am ***ured most emphatically by the network admin) is impossible...so it in fact MUST still be working
<2> hehe
<1> I wouldn't mind, took me twenty ****ing minutes to work out how to disable it so hard the group policies wouldn't just rebuild it
<5> jgaddis: It's probably asychronous inode failure.
<1> so it kinda *was* close to impossible
<6> Greyfox: Heh heh.
<4> smsie: I knew that :-P I was being facetious. I ***ume they reserve it for some of the groups that do research there.
<1> of course, it didn't help that PE didn't have drivers for the raid controller...
<5> Hmm maybe go down to Dillingers and get some nachos and a martini. Or something.
<2> there you go
<1> CeruleanD: I didn't think *anyone* had one. Appears that scott.aq is the .nz research station. I don't know if there are any more (the UK bases use foo.bas.ac.uk, the US bases are either .edu or .gov)
<5> Gin kinda tastes like aftershave, I really dunno why I like it so much.
<9> Greyfox!
<9> Greyfox: how goes?
<2> smsie: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A.aq
<5> Heya Nanuq!
<5> Oh not too bad. I'm keeping busy.
<1> ooh, there are a fair number then
<2> indeed
<1> didn't used to be
<9> Greyfox: yeah me too
<9> Greyfox: futzing with returned, and cussing at people once I've hung up the phone ;)
<1> haha, there's a linux.aq :)
<6> Hmm, apparently this issue with McAfee not updating is a known issue.
<2> heh smsie I don't get any site there though
<9> Greyfox: I've insulted that phone an awful lot this year.
<5> Heh heh heh. I've mostly been playing poker and stuff.
<9> Greyfox: have a bit of Rammstein playing whilst workin' 'em, too.
<9> Greyfox: puts one in just the right mood
<5> haha well Rammstein always helps
<9> should use it as hold music.
<5> Yeah :-)
<1> K_F: yeah, connection refused. Virtually nobody there has always-on net AIUI
<4> huh, yeah, more and more interest in Antarctica I suppose. And hey, if I were working there, I'd love to have my own .aq site, just for the Geek Status. :)
<5> I suggested that at IBM once. Actually that they should let the user choose their hold music. Should be possible to do it with asterisk. Hmm, maybe I'll set that up on my asterisk thing...
<1> I *think* mcmurdo do, but other than that, there's like a 2 hour/day window (at least that was the case a couple of years ago for the BAS sites)
<10> Greyfox: thats not a bad idea.
<2> smsie: could host offsite though
<4> Yeah, it doesn't have to be hosted there to be .aq
<5> Yeah. They thought so too, but not enough so that they actually did it.
<4> I ***ume
<1> K_F: not sure that's allowed :)
<2> hehe
<2> restricted, huh?
<1> K_F: VERY
<2> at least they avoid squatters
