<0> i can rebuild engines in my spare time :(
<0> in fact, i used to tune performance engines for dune buggies, motorcycles, and the occasional street racer
<1> All I know about cars is that stickers make my civic go faster.
<1> Vroom vroom!
<0> stickers are the poor man's chrome
<0> and of course stickers/chrome/fake carbon fiber make it go faster!
<2> Of course they do!
<2> If you take duct tape and make a grey racing stripe or *two* down the length of the car, it makes it even faster!
<0> dude
<0> that's so hot
<0> i can't believe i never thought of that
<3> jacking up the back end makes it go faster too, since it's always going downhill!!!
<0> haha, muscle cars
<4> Ka-bar: lol
<0> although, the reason they lifted the rear end on those is 'cause they put bigger tires
<3> loather-work: I had a couple muscle cars back in the day.
<0> and then dropped the ratio in the diff
<0> (which gave it better off-the-line performance).
<3> '73 Mach 1 Mustang, 351 Cleveland, anything but stock, fat rubber, 4.11 gears in the diff, etc., etc.
<3> and the local drag strip was about an hour away...
<0> and, if you overinflated the tires just slightly...
<0> hehe, not bad at all :)
<3> drove it on the street every day and ran low 10s in the 1/4.
<5> anyone know of a couple ways to keep Xorg from tying up cpu resources?
<0> my money pit was a '69 stingray SS, 454 with dual holleycarbs and an eaton crank-driven blower, 4 speed manual transmission, ford 9" in the rear.
<0> Tramse: a good way is to disable all the eye candy stuff
<3> I had a paxton blower on mine
<0> 760 brake horsepower.
<0> you could punch it at 65 and the rear end would break loose.
<0> it was pretty scary to drive.
<3> loather-work: heh... one of my shop buddies had a vette like that. 327 with 205 fuelie heads and nitrous. he was a local cop, too.
<0> yeah, i wouldn't go nitrous.
<0> the blower was hard enough on the bottom end as it was
<0> besides, 760 hp in a street car? did i really need more?
<0> it was a 'vette, so it handled much like a shopping cart
<0> even that much power was waaay dangerous.
<6> hi all
<6> i've got a rather weird graphics problem - i rebooted a machine which had been running for almost a week
<6> and now, the entire screen seems to have shifted its display size..
<6> that is, the desktop is larger than the screen/monitor width
<6> so i need to drag my mouse around corners to see everything. what gives?
<7> sounds like someone changed the display settings, which don't take effect until you restart the x server
<8> yah
<6> ah yes, but i HAVE restarted the x serve
<6> server*
<9> lo
<7> and now the display settings have changed. glory be :)
<6> lol, they havent!
<6> i switched from 1600X.. to 1280X.. and the same problem persists
<4> So your whole destkop is there but it scrolls around when you move the cursor beyond the screen
<6> exactly
<7> they haven't? you have a virtual desktop larger than your display res, but that isn't a changs?
<6> DaveHowe, eeh. thats what I Dont want. I wanted to get some more real estate on the screen for more xterms.. not have to scroll around!
<4> Virtual Desktop, yes, couldn't remember the name of it
<9> I've got Dapper running with Banshee and I can't figure out how to play m4a files. No DRM. I've installed the gstream libs... is there any other configuration needed? So far I've got banshee, banshee DAAP and gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse installed.
<6> atompngn, the entire desktop is bigger than the monitor size right now, and hence the scrolling
<4> right, I knew what you mean, but couldn't remember the terminology used in the conf file
<7> so, init level 3, fix the display problem, init 5 again
<6> DaveHowe, "fix" as in?
<7> use whatever setup tool you prefer to change your x config, and test it with startx
<4> Viksit: The problem is in your /etc/X11/XF86Config* file
<7> or just edit the config file of course :)
<7> ***uming xfree86 and not xorg...
<6> atompngn, i figured it was the xconfig of course. my question is - what?!
<6> yeah, xorg
<6> but no matter. that isn't the question!
<6> what should i fix in the xconfig? rather, what should i be looking which is screwed up?
<10> yay another aircrash investigation on nat graf
<4> VirtualDesktop me thinks
<10> graph
<4> viksit: pastebin your XF86Config file
<7> check your xorg.conf
<4> or that
<7> if it has a "Virtual" line, comment it out :)
<7> your real resolutions are in the "modes" line
<4> yeah, listen to Dave, I am half drunk
<6> DaveHowe, atompngn - how would this suddenly change by itself though?
<6> All i did before this change happened was reboot the machine to go into windows!
<4> the underpants gnomes did it
<6> <and no funny comments there>
<6> too late.
<4> too late
<6> lol
<7> vIkSiT: it woudn't - but if you had changed it anytime since your last reboot it wouldnt take effect until you restarted x
<6> DaveHowe, hmm, i'm sure i didn't change it really.
<7> vIkSiT: and if one of your users said that to you, would you believe it?
<4> no because all users lie
<6> DaveHowe, hehe, well, i've never really managed users so i don't know. but I know that I spent almost 3 hours 2 weeks ago getting this system perfect to work on!
<4> See right there, you lied
<4> it obviously doesn't work perfectly
<6> atompngn, it did till that freaking reboot!
<4> uh-huh
<7> atompngn: it *did*
<7> past tense :)
<6> heh
<7> running-config is not startup-config ;)
<1> http://that.damnserver.com/~wolfrage/BostonVaca <-- pics from today on vaca in Boston.
<11> in bash, how do i say if $ARG ne last $ARG?
<12> "man bash" comes to mind. Also "man test" can be a valuable tool.
<1> man bash? You a militant feminist?!?
<4> Advanced Bash Scripting Guide comes to mind
<12> also a good hint
<1> google also does.
<2> rofl
<11> i've check all of that and nothing told me the correct answer. I've found that $_ gives the last argument of the previous command but that isn't correct...
<11> the last command was ./temp.sh what is this mess? and I ***ume mess? would have been the last argument but its returning ./temp.sh
<12> Poohba: well, then I guess it cannot be done.
<12> Poohba: better give up now, perhaps even try another language or OS.
<11> thanks
<4> welcome
<4> have a nice day, now
<4> Lion-O: you converted me to amaroK
<12> atompngn: uh oh
<12> atompngn: I like the way I can play mp3's even without having to run/open the program. No idea how this works in other environments, but thats the way in kde.
<4> Lion-O: it even has last.fm scrobbling built in
<12> atompngn: indeed. Or what to think about the cover downloads?
<4> Lion-O: I turned that off, though
<4> Lion-O: it would pause while trying to download images
<12> atompngn: hmm 8) It doesn't run all the time, I tend to let it download the stuff every now and then. Its a nice gesture.
<13> Lion-O: you were watching the Bizzaro weather report
<14> hm. datacenter lost power. at least their generators haven't burst into flames
<15> God that third xmen movie was horrible
<12> kanodogg: somehow I am not surprised.
<15> yeah, i didn't want to believe it man, but it sure did blow
<4> Jackpot, adultswim has a whole season of Robot Chicken online :)
<13> Sean
<16> Eric
<13> Tamahome: how goes?
<16> mmm not too shabby, bought a bicycle yesterday so I biked to work
<13> oh yeah?
<13> Tamahome: I'm trying to get out of a pissy mood. I dunno if Enya is making it worse, or not.
<7> enya is chancy if you are in a pissy mood. sometimes it just makes the mood more pissy
<13> DaveHowe: my point
<13> Okay so I'm not. :P
<13> Well the album is up there, if y'all know where to look.
<16> I have 'em on CD (well, 2 of them)
<13> this is "Best Of"
<13> actually downed some .wavs.. not even FLACs
<13> Of course I always fire 'em up in Audition to see if they're just converted MP3s
