<0> now why is it the only way using a 21st century distro to get linux working on a sgi visualstation 320 is with slakware ? :/
<0> it works but it's a pita to get anything newer on it afterwards
<0> ah well... old hw
<1> tried solaris yet? :P
<0> on an sgi ? keep on dreaming
<0> solaris i'll try in a xen domU
<2> putting solaris on an sgi is like sacrilige :)
<2> not that i wouldn't do it or anything
<2> it's just strangely funny
<2> like putting linux on an xbox
<0> well if you could arcboot solaris x86 ...
<0> but this isn't really a pc
<0> more a SGI with the mips cpu replaced by a pIII
<0> pretty much a bastard config
<3> loather-work: now that would be a head****.. (SOlaris on an SGI)
<2> yeah, SGI without MIPS is like jerking yourself before ***
<2> it saddens me that all the good architectures have gone by the wayside
<0> well I do still have a trusty indigo2 R10K with irix on it
<0> not the easiest box to administer but fun all the same
<3> nothingness: I have a Crimson w/irix on it
<0> nice
<0> 5.3 or 6.5?
<2> someone had a line for me on one of those gigantic oxygen 20Ks -- the ones the size of a washing machine -- but it only ran on 30Y power, and I can't even get that in my area.
<3> nothingness: 6.2ish
<3> last that will run on a Crimson
<0> yeah I see... nice beast
<3> nothingness: it's now an end table in my living room
<0> loather-work, it's usually illegal to have one of those at home in the US :)
<3> I haven't turned it on in a few years.
<0> Strider-, well that's always better than using it as a rather unwieldy doorstopper
<0> those models had wheels on them didn't they ?
<2> nah, it wouldn't be illegal. just silly, 'cause the power to run it would be more than my rent payment :)
<2> and yeah, it has wheels, but it also has those things like on a washing machine to lift the wheels off the floor and balance it
<3> yes, it has wheels.
<3> and a lifting handle, yes.
<0> handy stuff
<0> yeah the power consumption needs a second job just to keep it paid for... pretty ridiculous :)
<3> electricity is cheap here..
<3> $0.061/kwh
<4> Strider-: is that for the juice only, or does that include delivery?
<3> Nanuq: huh?
<3> you buy power form BC hydro, they have a wire that goes to your house..
<1> around here we pay 2 seperate fees. 1 for the elctricity. 1 for the elctrical "net"
<4> Strider-: here it's split into a zillion different ways
<1> but its all BS
<3> Nanuq: oh.
<4> Strider-: some for the juice, sometimes at different rates depending in usage and the season
<1> when the price for electricity goes down, the price for net magically increases
<4> then delivery, then "debt retirement", and **** knows what else
<3> Nanuq: oh, odd.
<3> here the power rates are just governed by the BC Utilities Comission.
<4> Strider-: all in all, it costs twice as much as it used to
<3> though given the current government, they've basically bent over and grabbed their ankles and let the power company have their way.
<4> I keep meaning to call 'em up and ask if I can just pickup my electricity, to save on the delivery charge.
<1> hehehe
<3> lol
<3> ask for "buckets of charge"
<4> buckets of electrons?
<4> a pint of joules?
<3> along with the m***less rods and frictionless pucks.
<4> a pint of joules and a packet of watts
<4> down at coulumb's pub, of course
<1> hmm.. when I first have capslock mapped as ctrl, using it as ctrl works pretty well
<1> not so far off
<3> Jostein: I got so used to having my control key where most keyboards put the caps lock back when I had a Sun as my desktop at work.
<1> heheh
<1> Im mostly used to caps-lock being annoying as HELL
<1> heheh
<1> RelDrgn: you learn "caps-lock"-Z pretty quickly :P
<5> Z?
<1> undo in many windowed environments
<5> hmm, and then? ;)
<5> Jostein: isn't that alt-z or ctrl-z? ;)
<1> trying to hit a and then some key with caps-lock as ctrl renders most content gone :P
<6> Lion-O: the discusson was remapping caps to ctrl ;)
<5> aaaah... now I see. gotcha
<5> uh oh.. time to run. at least we're not bored anymore
<5> aaaarghhh!
<1> cruel fate, eh? consumed by pastell domokuns!
<5> hmmm, perhaps I oughta check out another GiTS episode
<1> hehehe
<1> sac1 or 2?
<5> Jostein: 1. Never really got into 2.
<1> Ive only seen 2. working on 1 now
<5> Jostein: I think I stopped after the first 2 episodes or so. 2 or 3.
<1> it built it pretty well
<5> Jostein: I liked 1 better, but thats probably also because of all the excitement around it 8)
<1> not to mention the intro is immensly less lame than the intro for gits sac1 :P
<5> Jostein: hmm. I disagree 8)
<1> heeheheh
<1> I just think 3d anime boobies are a bit over the top of what I can tolerate of tastelessness
<5> Jostein: hmm, its not that bad :P
<1> anyway. 2nd gig took some time to get into, but it really built up to a good, solid (not to mention exciting) story
<1> I liked it
<4> hmm
<1> more complex than what Ive seen of 1st gig anyway
<5> Jostein: well, fortunatly I got 'm all ready to watch so I'll probably give it a try during my vacation.
<1> hehe
<5> In 1 I liked the way several cases intermingled and how some totally unrelated issues p***ed as well. hmm, we'll see how 2 fares after I've seen more.
<1> thats what I didnt like about 1
<1> how they intermix totally random things instead of progressing :P
<1> but for some reason I love the dorama "kochira hon ikegami sho", which is subliminally progressing behind seemingly randomly connected episodes
<7> wondered why TF I was opped in #c++... was on the wrong network
<1> heh
<1> Tamahome: you hang out on freenode?!?
<7> no, was nekonet
<1> that was why I was wondering. no tamahome on neko
<1> heh
<6> Sean: So I went ahead and watched the Kanon prelude. it IS stunning. I might just cave in and watch the new show, even if it's exactly like the old one only better drawn
<7> Fred: actually, there are some scenes in the preview that aren't in the old series, so I think they will be telling some parts of the story differently
<1> before you know it, you'll have dinosaurs and people shooting first!
<6> haha
<6> given that the company making the remake is the one that animated Air, it's entirely possible that it'll have a dinosaur or two. Gao!
<1> lol
<7> ^^;
<7> I can hardly wait.
<7> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK>cl
<7> Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.40310.41 for AMD64
<1> w00
<7> ewps, wrong channel
<7> :P~
<1> hardcore, man :P
<7> I have the Itanium compiler as well
<7> but no box to test on :(
<1> heh
<1> I actually belive this Pentium M I have is the baddest ****er I have
<1> it seems to outperform my 2.4GHz P4, even though its only 1.9GHz
<7> if I get this new job, I'm ordering a Dell M2010
<1> too lazy to check
<1> late here, and Ive been trying to get un-sober :P
<8> So what would be faster, a Pentium D 805 or an Athlon 64 3200 ?
<7> from that generation, probably the AMD by a small margin
<9> 'llo there.
<8> Even though the D is a dual core?
<10> it's still a p4
<8> ah
<8> I just found a benchmark of them head to head
<10> what does it say?
<8> reading...
<8> AMD better at gaming...Pentium better at multithreaded crap
