Comments:
<0> I remember seeing an 8088 and thinking "****, less colors, bleepy sound, ugly graphics, what a primitive box"
<0> and I kept having that as I went over to Amiga and Mac
<1> i got to pilfer all the school computers, muaha
<2> hahaha
<0> then somewhere around 1998 these ****ers started getting really fast all of a sudden
<1> heh
<2> yeah
<3> Cynic: did you get your IIe to moo like a cow with PEEK 8511
<1> fyal: no, damn, I must have missed that
<2> I used to love playing flight simulator on my 286
<2> the graphics blew
<2> but it was awesome back then
<4> wrote several simple games for IIe myself
<1> INPUT A$
<5> Ran into trouble testing for collision because the thing didn't have enough RAM for an array the size of the graphic screen.
<4> lots of explosions/sound etc
<3> but did you play karateka
<2> now, graphics cards have almost as much RAM as PC does....
<2> and a hard drive
<5> And I had no idea how to use peek() to look at the video memory directly.
<5> fyal: Never did manage to get past that damned bird.
<4> Shadur: did not have to. only had to know line endpoints
<0> xyzzy: that'll still fall down if there's enough changes of direction.
<2> ok...enough nestalgia (sp?) for me...it's closing in on 6am for me
<2> need to get some sleep
<4> exel: no, not really
<5> XyZzY: Static-sized array, can't predict the number of course ch- what exel said.
<1> Daakman: g'night
<2> g'night all
<0> peeking the screen would've been the way
<0> sleep well daakman
<4> no need for static sized array
<5> exel: Yes it would. But like I said, at the time I was still teaching myself basic and I had no idea whatsoever as to how to use peek and poke.
<0> xyzzy: potentially the number of lines that you have to keep track of grows to a point where it's too much work to figure out all the intersections. We're talking basic here, not C, you can't easily create linked lists.
<4> but then again by the time I hit the apple I was doing asm
<0> yeah asm is a different beast
<0> but then why bother with intersections if you can read the framebuffer? :)
<4> I did one that way so I know
<0> xyzzy: i'm not saying it's not possible, but it's not terribly efficient on a 0.7MHz cpu.:>
<4> no, it did not run well or fast that way.
<3> let alone trying to multiprogram on it
<4> that's what GEOS promised for C=64
<4> what's funny is that I remember having to wait for it to draw any .jpg on the screenm because the cpu just did not have any oomph
<3> sounds like DSL
<0> GEOS didn't draw .JPG
<0> **** .JPG even took ages on a 7MHz amiga
<0> and you had a separate program to _convert_ them to ILBM first
<4> exel: never said it did
<0> because doing it every time you wanted to watch was insane
<3> like waiting for your dial-up web browser to draw the jpg
<0> ah that
<0> it was cute, but dsl is nicer :)
<4> bah I had to use 300 baud when I first started. *brrr*
<3> they didnt have 10 meg javascript aps at 300 baud
<4> was jumping for joy when I got my C=64 1200baud modem
<4> java at that time was strictly something you drank
<4> never imagined at that time that I would have a PDA that could hold over 6000 books and play games like doom on it and be the same weight as a paperback book and run for 6hrs on batteries.
<3> imagine in 20 years when the kids talk about how slow their first 5ghz computer was
<4> yup. we already have 4ghz with overclocking
<4> and office will still be slow ;P
<4> yup we are a spoiled bunch of mofo's and most don't realize it
<3> our 5mhz is their 5ghz
<6> how can i get uncompress on my server ?
<7> Xplora: huh?
<6> w8
<6> sh: line 1: uncompress: command not found
<6> Broken pipe
<6> here
<6> i have to uncompress a .bin file
<6> have aney ideea ?
<7> Xplora: I only know about 'ncompress' which is the original Lempel-Ziv compress/uncompress program. that may be what you want but I'm not sure though!
<6> if i can uncompress .bin files it`s ok
<6> tell me pls
<7> Xplora: spell in here! pls, w8 is not english but lame!
<6> sorry
<8> yoz, V8 is much better
<7> fredk: yeah.. ;) hi there!
<8> Hey ;)
<7> Xplora: google might helps you as well.. as I said ncompress may do what you want. install it using your package manager from whatever distro you run there.
<7> s/ps/p
<6> ok
<9> how do you mount an iso image in linux
<10> Hey, there is a new network up, irc.tddirc.net. The official home to The Linux Mirror Project, http://tlm-project.org. Thought some of you may like to check it out, they are looking for new users and organisations/people to start up new channels.
<11> freefall: look up loopback mounts in google.
<0> loopback mountain
<0> a story of two gay sysadmins looking for gay pr0n iso's
<3> subtitled in french
<12> hi. a box uses 86.105.84.4 (net IP) and 10.11.10.11 (LAN) IP. now, if I ping an internet website (like google) from inside the server, 86.105.84.4 will reply from outside but 10.11.10.11 won't. if I ping a LAN IP (like 10.11.84.78) from inside the server, 10.11.10.11 will reply from outside but 86.105.84.4 won't.
<12> it's debian, interfaces is set correctly
<11> exel: pr0n isos?
<9> whyzzyrd
<9> it say the image is to big
<9> mount -o loop -t 9660 the.iso /cdrom1
<9> mount -o loop -t iso9660 the.iso /cdrom1
<13> libolt: interesting. thanks for sharing
<13> oh... LightAnge went
<11> freefall too. How in foo can an iso be too big to loopback mount?
<13> nfi
<11> Jostein: precisely.
<13> but... according to what he said, it wasn't just -anmy- iso, it was -the- iso :P
<13> s/anmy/any/
<14> Hi there, can root install a cron for another user?
<13> diederick: have you -ever- set up a cron job, if you are asking that?
<14> Jostein: yes, but only as root...
<14> Now I want root to set a cron for user "x"
<13> diederick: then you chould know that the crontab file has a specific colomn for username
<14> oh yes... sorry
<15> whyzzyrd: Buying the cluster on Wednesday. :)
<11> Evii: what are you going for?
<14> but Jostein i've got, lets say 10 cronfiles which are created by 10 different users.. Now I want to check every 10 minutes if those cronfiles have changed and if so, I want to reset those cronfiles for the users...
<13> diederick: as to your original question, root can do whatever he likes
<13> if you as root want to change /home/another_user/.crontab, feel free
<15> whyzzyrd: Starting with 4 boxen. Specfication i'm working out at the moment. About 500 quid per machine. Give or take. Plus a respectable switch for routing. Software, I think OpenMosix looks interesting. And it means I can run Debian. :)
<14> Jostein: But how can i 'set' this /home/_another_user/.crontab into the cron for that 'another_user' ?
<15> whyzzyrd: Although Rocks Linux looks pretty cool too. Although it'd be easier to add threading to all the applications than MPI, I think.
<14> can I do: cron /home/_another_user/.crontab ?
<0> diederick: the quickest workaround, of course, is to su to that user :)
<14> hmm indead..
<0> diederick: you can even give su a 'command to execute'
<14> so: su [user] cron cronfile ?
<0> something like su - user -c cron /path/to/file, but check the manpage to be sure
<14> thanx a lot exel!
<14> I can also do: cron -u [username] file
<11> 4 boxen?
<15> whyzzyrd: Yep.
<11> if you'd said that a year ago, I'd have said shuttle.
<3> why is called 'cron'
<11> for each, you might just be able to manage dual opterons in each box.
<11> how mucho ram do you need in each?
<3> a petabyte at least
<11> fyal: stfu
<3> that's just for the L1 cache
<11> is that 500 inc, or 500+VAT?
<11> fyal: I said STFU
<11> Evii: If you can find someone to sell you MSI k8-T-masters, you could do it for <500 +VAT per box, and get dual 242s with a gig of ram each. (4x256) in Lian Li PC-7's and 80G disk each.
<13> slooow day, ey?
<16> i have installe free turbo pascal on my linux suse10.0 How cna i run it now~?
<17> wine
<16> anyone?
<13> thingie
<3> hands off my thingie
<11> hehe
<15> whyzzyrd: I'm at 440 quid per box. AMD64 3200+ Venice Cores, Asus A8V's Gigabit Ethernet & SATA RAID, x2 512MB PC3200's, Radeon 7000 AGPx8 64MB's, x2 80GB Seagate Barracuda's (5yr warranty on each), 19" rack mount ch***is w/300W PSU and an A-Open DVD-ROM drive in each. :)
<15> Fairly proud of that for a first attempt. :)
<11> Evii: nobad. where do you get rack mount ch***is so cheap?
