<0> wlfshmn: Oh I haven't just not read, but I'm actively disliking his work.
<1> uhm.. now how does that work?
<1> you didn't like the covers?
<0> no, haven't seen those
<1> seen an interview about pratchett, or a documentary about him or his work?
<0> nope, nope
<1> than I'm at a loss as to how you can activly disslike his work...
<2> Ka-bar: Hoping there's a very strong possibility of permagig, which makes life even sweeter. :)
<0> wlfshmn: Eh?
<1> Nanuq: What are you basing the dislike upon?
<0> wlfshmn: I need a reason?
<1> Nanuq: only if you want your oppinion to be a rational one
<0> wlfshmn: Okay, fine.. perhaps since everyone else seems to find his work agreeable. That in itself is a reason for me to find it ****e.
<1> Nanuq: well, that atleast is a reason, I suppose
<0> wlfshmn: It was like that with Douglas Adams, until I confirmed it.
<0> wlfshmn: Still rubbish, but now I have two reasons!
<3> Hmm, a d***ault falcon seems to be around 25 million
<4> d***ault falcon?
<4> plane?
<3> jet
<3> yea
<5> bwahahah.
<4> those things can carry missiles
<5> is that the replacement for the mirage?
<5> cuz, those mirage F1s will outturn nearly everything in the sky
<4> I believe it is
<3> it's a business jet
<3> is the mirage too?
<5> god no
<5> the mirage is a bad-*** interceptor
<4> Which mirage sig?
<5> the F1
<6> the Mirage is a nifty plane.
<7> that frog thing?
<5> yeah
<4> those are old old old
<5> it's one of those things you don't want to get in a fight with close up. Make sure you kill it 80mi out with a phoenix.
<5> yeah, they're old. but they're fast, and they turn like crazy
<6> The falcon is a bizjet
<5> it may be the only aircraft in the sky that can outturn an F16
<5> manned aircraft anyway
<4> how is that now?
<5> it'll come down to the pilot
<5> the mirage can do 9+G turns all day long at like, 490 knots
<5> the 16 does the same thing, but it's optimal turn speed is 450
<4> Hrm
<1> siglite: that would be the mother of all motion sickness I suspect ;)
<4> I like the f22
<4> those are tight
<8> I still want the cl***ic SR-71. When I become rich I'll see if I can get one stripped down and civilianized for my personal airport.
<8> *snicker* But you have to admit, they're hot.
<4> cerul: I don't think any civilian airports can deal with the noise
<7> caramel filled hershey's kisses.
<4> but they are hott
<3> Hmm
<9> aaah
<3> Do you guys think a 4.5 kw AC can cool my small 45 square meter apartment?
<10> hi guys, any way I can see the processor usage?
<9> 'man ps'
<10> thanks
<11> should do - provided the walls are decent insulation and you aren't generating much heat internally
<9> or, another option, 'w', check the load average.
<11> sk8ing: top is a good util too :)
<9> yeah
<3> DaveHowe, Yeah, great isolation. Small windows so not much heat generated from direct sunlight.
<3> great insulation too :P
<11> fred: then its simple thermodynamics. as long as cooling is greater than heat leaking in, the place will get colder until you reach your target level or an equilibrium :)
<10> cool, thanks
<3> DaveHowe, I want it to be about 15c :P haha
<3> DaveHowe, seriously though, i'm thinking it might have problems cooling to my bedroom. But, it should be fine.
<9> lol
<3> DaveHowe, funny guy ;) There's no ventilation there
<11> put the ac there then - it is (by definition) ventilation :)
<3> I don't have a decent outside spot I can use there..in my kitchen/livingroom I do.
<3> DaveHowe, during really cold winter days it will double as heat too
<11> AC tends to be expensive heat. easier just to run dedicated heaters
<3> DaveHowe, they do? Here they talk about how cheap they are for heat
<11> gas fire or storage heater is substantially cheaper to run
<3> yes, but I dont have that.
<3> but also, I have free apartment heating too
<3> when I think about it
<3> central heating
<11> then *substantially* more expensive than free :)
<3> indeed
<3> though cheaper than pure electrical heating
<11> AC *is* pure electrical heating - with a fan to blow warm air around
<3> DaveHowe, not 100%
<2> Hurrah! Photos of the totally hawt chick I was with at the weekend: http://www.g0atpr0n.org/~cgibson/hellyeah/victoria1.jpg and http://www.g0atpr0n.org/~cgibson/hellyeah/victoria2.jpg and there's a victoria3.jpg too.
<3> DaveHowe, "in the winter, the freon absorbs heat from the outside and pumps it into the house."
<12> NotEvii: you to?! weird.
<11> reverse thermal pump? that's substantially less efficient than just direct heating
<3> according to the graphs i've seen you are wrong :)
<13> Hello
<11> fredk: check to see if the outside part of that graph is substantially colder than the inside - which is the case if you are running heating.
<3> it would be
<13> what irc server/channel(s) does ut2004 connect to?
<11> fredk: seen some nice graphs myself - which seemed to work out only if it was a hot summer day outside and frigid indoors :)
<9> delt: who cares..
<3> hehe
<13> Lion-O: or, can someone tell me wtf is wrong with this culling problem (look at fps) http://deimos.ca/miscjunk/ut2004
<11> delt: look in ut2004 - it lists them.
<9> bouncy
<3> DaveHowe, unless what they are saying is utter crap it does work
<3> DaveHowe, ok, heatpump i'm reading up on now: will provide up to 6000 watts worth of heat for about 500-2200 watts of actual electricity
<11> fredk: didn't say it didn't work, just that you wouldn't get 4KW of heat from 4KW of electric. whereas with a heating element, that's exactly what you get
<3> according to everyone i've talked to they claim you get about 4 - 6kw from about 2kw worth of electricity
<11> fredk: surprised you can. freon pumping was never really that efficient unless it was taking advantage of a heat differencial, rather than working against it
<3> R407A is what they use these days
<3> I believe :)
<2> Hmm. Yay.
<14> Whenever I go to the mechanic, I can never tell if the bastards are ripping me off.
<9> you brieng the meechanieks? :P
<14> $230 for front brake pads/rotor replacement +labor, is that reasonable?
<9> depends ;) Some parts can be expensive, sounds reasonable to me.
<15> atompngn: that includes labor?
<14> yep labor included
<8> Yeah, labor included, sounds good
<15> what kind of car?
<14> 96 chevy lumina
<15> you're getting a sweet deal
<8> Yeah
<14> That's good then
<15> the rotors alone for that car cost $90 a piece
<15> they have integrated weel hubs
<15> (i did brakes on a 97 lumina not too long ago)
<14> they listed $50 for rotor, $120 for pads
<14> maybe they itemized backwards
<15> i'd probably swap those two numbers :)
<8> Right
<15> 'cause pads are about $30 at autozone for the cheeze ones with the lifetime warranty
<14> They said the rotors were rusted through, lol.
<8> Those are hella expensive pads
<8> hmmm
<15> well, rusted through... if you drive the car, there should be no rust on the faces of the rotors
<8> Hell, I get performance carbon-metallic pads for like $50.
<8> Right, well, after you've been driving for a few minutes there shouldn't be
<8> But if it rains while it's parked, they might get a little rust on them after a day or two
<8> But it should get wiped off after 5-10 min of in-town driving
<14> Yeah, they always squeaked after rain or parking in an unpaved lot
<14> It just kept getting worse and worse
<8> Can the mechanic just grind the rotors?
<8> Are they solid, cross-drilled, or slotted?
<14> hell if I know
<8> Somehow I'm guessing they're solid, based on the car model. :
<8> :)
<8> Some places, particularly chains like Midas, have machines they can put the rotor on and spin them and grind them down a bit, to even them out.
<8> Might not work if there's not much left of the rotor though
<15> yeah, you can't grind them down too far otherwise you risk damaging the calipers
<15> and heating the rotor too much and causing it to warp, all sorts of great things
