Comments:
<0> wlfshmn: Not here. Heh.
<1> Nanuq: typically on the way back from the US when on an open ticket
<0> wlfshmn: CYOW is sleepy.
<0> wlfshmn: My only story is that I saw Jack Layton there, heading to .uk :)
<0> wlfshmn: Er, he was heading to Toronto. _I_ was heading to .uk.
<1> Nanuq: I book a more direct flight normally (ther eis a great one from Stockholm to Chicago), but if I reschedule the return, it's usually done on rather short notice, and you end up taking less direct routs, such as the Chicago->Ottawa->London->Gothenburg route instead of a nice sleepy chicago->Stockholm->Gothenburg
<0> isn't Gothenburg before Stockholm?
<0> just ask for a parachute
<2> PolarWolf: very good, but again, I don't know if Windows likes being booted under VMWare any
<2> I haven't tried it yet, though I did think of it or Xen
<1> Nanuq: hehe, it is, but they dont' fly directly from GBG to Chicago
<0> wlfshmn: figured
<0> wlfshmn: train isn't an option?
<1> Nanuq: if I go that way, I have to first reach a hub, which typically means Copenhagen, Amsterdam or London (or PAris or Frankfurt in extreme cases)
<3> Viking667: Hello...VMware is in the business of making OSes boot unmodified.
<1> Nanuq: Train between GBG and STH is possible, sure, but it complicates things
<3> Viking667: Yeah, that includes windows.
<1> Nanuq: train probably adds about 3 hours to my trip as well
<3> And I can attest that it works like a charm
<1> Nanuq: and as long as work pays, I se no erason to waste valuable sleeping time
<2> lol. Problem is, dude, once I installed Windows XP, that shot my only registration.
<2> So I can hardly ring up again for another validation now, can I?
<3> Viking667: At the very least it helps you get rid of the partition mess you're in now
<0> wlfshmn: Oh okay, work paying is different ;)
<3> Viking667: *shrug* there's plenty of VLK versions around.
<1> Nanuq: The direct STH -> chicago flight tends to be booked solid by bsuienss traveleras, so if flying private and looking to keep cost low, that flight gets ruled out anyway
<2> "vlk"?
<3> Viking667: See, normally I wouldn't suggest such a thing, but MS's policy on this is anal at best.
<0> wlfshmn: Hrm.. how much vacation do you get, per year?
<1> Viking667: volume license key
<3> Viking667: It makes it impossible for people to work properly on the stuff they bought and paid for
<1> Viking667: a convienient little key that doesn't require activation ;)
<2> well, I can work on this system (I'm on it at the moment)
<3> So **** it, install a VLK version
<2> But I don't want some MS heavy checking me out, finding I've got XP Home, and actually used a VLK instead.
<3> Who in their right mind runs Xp Home?
<1> Viking667: you can't install an EOM license with a VLk though, nor a VLK version with an OEM key... I'm not sure, but I bet regular retail differs form both of the above as well
<0> you mean the corporate version?
<3> Viking667: And you personally are totally uninteresting for MS heavys
<2> I have OEM Win98, and a XP Home upgrade.
<1> Nanuq: It's rare that a non-coorporations use volume licenses ;)
<0> wlfshmn: well that's just how I know it
<0> wlfshmn: so.. vacation?
<2> I'm only able to run this as it is because the original mobo went "poof"
<2> well, to be exact, it started faulting, so I turfed it.
<1> you are allowed t omove that license combo to new hardware?
<2> mostly.
<2> The only time you can change MOTHERBOARDS, is if your old one dies.
<2> Oh, and apparently, you're only allowed a limited number of hardware upgrades ASIDE from the motherboard too.
<0> wlfshmn: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6285209651
<0> wlfshmn: that's the mug, btw
<4> Product activation FTW!
<4> Viking667: get a volume licence from work already :P
<2> Jostein: huh? Work? What's that?
<4> right
<0> Jostein: haha
<2> Night all.
<5> heya Jostein
<4> hey K_F
<4> heading to work now to get some coffee :P
<5> hehe
<0> Jostein: gee, I'd head TO home to get decent coffee
<6> me too
<0> whyzzyrd: I don't roast and grind my own beans, and my coffee is only $4 for a 300g can
<5> NetBandit: he went to work yesterday for the sole reason to pick up some coffee on the store nearby... he forgot it at work..
<0> whyzzyrd: but it certainly tastes better
<7> waznz you have a script instead of a brain doncha
<3> rofler: Who are you again?

<9> yea right i believe you thousands wouldn't :p
<7> I cant find att.net usenet server address and their support ****s
<9> sighs and if only tron didnt p*** over the funny cigarette package
<3> rofler: I'm sure "usenet news server" rather depends on country, state or even city
<7> no way
<7> its funneh youre sure
<5> my ISP only allows connections from its own IP block
<5> which is rather annoying when I travel, so I ended with using SSH tunnels through my home server...

<3> rofler: It's even funnier that it seems to be called netnews.worldnet.att.net
<3> It's hilarious
<3> Really, it is

<9> whyzzyrd i have the legendary giggle
<3> rofler: If I could find that it about two minutes using google, I'm sure you can find the right one in about the same time using the same resources.
<6> Becky: not the only things that are legendary, from what I've heard.
<9> that giggle could have been heard 20 miles away i still have the picture of me in the middle of the giggle
