<0> oh wow
<0> apple released a beta to run XP on its macs, complete wlth all drivers for free
<1> I thought the point of having a mac was being able to run OSX, not windows :P
<0> :
<2> mac fiends will applaud apple's every move, regardless
<1> heh
<0> well it'd be nice to be able to run those useful PC apps once in a while
<1> OldMonk: truer words have been said, but thats still pretty much true
<0> you know, like internet explorer
<3> docphu, free? even the winXP os?
<0> petrock no you have to supply the drivers and the key
<0> er i mean the disk and the key
<0> but they have a driver disk all setup
<3> docphu, setup xp in the mac you mean? not run xp in a virtual box?
<0> yeah its actually installed
<1> petrock: because virtual machines have overhead?
<3> ah
<1> -noticable- overhead
<3> docphu, like dual booted? xp and the mac os?
<0> yeah
<3> what i want is to run mac os on an x86
<3> :)
<4> well, time to grab a license from Apple and get to it.
<3> maybe someday when cpu's reach 20GHz or more, we can have an open max osx emulator on linux ;)
<3> s/max/mac
<0> er
<0> or you can just buy a ****ing mac and get with the times
<0> maybe some day i'll get married and have children, that doesn't stop me from ****ing around now
<4> like running xp on it? ;)
<0> :)
<3> too expensive, very expensive
<0> pfft, get a job
<0> work
<3> ;)
<2> why buy a ****ing mac when you can buy a pc and run linux on it?
<3> OldMonk, yep
<0> ok OM wins
<4> OldMonk: its cool.
<3> i'd rather buy a small car than purchase a mac
<2> Lion-O: only for apple idiots
<0> OS X is actualyl very cool
<0> i played with it today, it really is getting to be the next level of computiong
<2> ``next level'' sounds like so much marketing bull****
<3> "next level" ?
<0> OM no i just mean the feel of the OS
<0> the way windows move/zoom in/zoom out
<2> yeah, mac's have great UIs and **** at everything else including price-performance
<0> heh
<4> lol
<3> but they sure look good, if all you want is eye candy
<0> well it sure would beat an OS that gets infected with spyware quickly
<0> or one that takes forever to setup and learn
<5> and if you press the right button, a progress bar moves slowly from left to right compressing the whole of mac osx enough it can fit on a single floppy?
<3> hehe
<2> ...and if you drag the progress bar to the right with your mouse, the task finishes faster
<4> sure.. one 500Mb floppy.
<3> that would be very "floppy
<4> extension of your average zip disk ;)
<5> Lion-O: nope, if you watch the movies, its invariably at least a 5 1/4", and sometimes even an 8" :)
<6> mmornin Lion-O, OldMonk
<4> bah.. there goes the neighborhood
<6> holy hell i can't believe i'm up and in the office
<4> Yo OxD
<5> Lion-O: so looking at about 500KB max :)
<7> http://smsie.yourblog.in/
<6> 'lo smsie
<7> I do like that blog engine of K_F's
<4> DaveHowe: hehehe
<7> heya 13
<8> hi, I am looking for a picture view tool (slideshow, red-eye,,,). Any suggests?
<3> xammax, gimp
<8> petrock: too big
<3> xammax, image magick?
<6> thats what she said...
<8> hmm i will try...
<3> smsie, where'd you get the bronze phallus?
<4> there a dozen viewers/editors/stuff.
<6> petrock: pft. who *doesn't* have a bronze phallus?
<7> petrock: found it online somewhere a couple of years ago
<3> OxD, mine's steel ;p
<6> ah
<8> Lion-O: I am looking for the "swiss army knife" :)
<3> xammax, image magick
<6> is there a viewer with IM?
<4> yeah
<3> OxD, why would you want that?
<6> didn't he say he needs a viewer?
<3> OxD, ah yes
<3> OxD, thought he wanted a swiss army knife. forgot about the viewer part
<3> OxD, i thought IM == "instant messenger" ;)
<5> smsie: you used the word brief/briefly twice in the same sentence? Helen will Thwap you...
<8> I saw the "picasa" tool from google and i am looking for something similar under linux
<7> DaveHowe: eeek
<6> evilelf: haha hey dude
<6> evilelf: the **** are you doing up?
<3> xammax, gthumbs image viewer, but doesn't have red eye, you can script red eye using gimp or image magick
<4> xammax: like I said; there are dozens if not more on Linux. Just skim sites like freshmeat or sourceforge.
<7> DaveHowe: fixed :)
<5> smsie: I would have just removed the second instance - as it makes the whole sentence weak. but that's me....
<7> the only thing wrong with this blog site is the ads
<5> hmm. secure-my-email looks familar :)
<7> DaveHowe: haha. /me edits again :)
<9> oxd: I was wondering about that
<8> thanx petrock and Lion-O, I will look @ sourceforge and freshmeat. Just thought there is a tool which everybody uses...
<5> smsie: much better, yes.
<7> DaveHowe: want a job as my editor in chief? :)
<5> smsie: nah, got enough fustrating thankless jobs already ;)
<7> hehe
<9> petrock: we tend to favor the definition of IM == Instant Maul
<9> petrock: got questions? :)
<9> oxd: How's life bro? New house good to you?
<6> evilelf: its going. yeah. new place is pretty cool. i'm at work now covering for our banalore office. they're having a planned power outage...
<3> evilelf, no more questions, no :)
<6> how about yourself?
<9> oxd: <insert random problems from the "**** happens to you" database>, working, about to see docfu in 2 weeks or so
<6> werd
<6> where you at now?
<9> HK
<10> what's the bestest proxy software for on linux ?
<6> no kidding
<6> well thats what you're doing up :P
<11> http proxy?
<9> Not ****ting you, irc'ing to my box to get to shanta :P
<11> squid
<6> haha
<9> ssh looks bad coming out of china I hear
<9> And yes, what they say is true, china is a master at propaganda
<9> remind me to kill their leader later on this week
<10> Uhm. whats RAID 3 again?
<2> s/china/america/ ?
<2> seperate ECC disk
<6> OldMonk: isn't that 4?
<2> 3 i think
<10> ok
<10> thanks
<6> i know one stripes differently and one uses a dedicated parity disk...
<9> oldmonk: god no... I'd prefer to have pissed off indians generals after me (they're ****swinging contest bitches anyway, lets use france instead, bit more ballsy) than trying to kill that nutjob
<5> according to wiki - byte level striping with a dedicated parity disc
<5> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks#RAID_3
<5> basically, raid 4 but on a per-byte instead of per-block level
<2> evilelf: er, sure
<9> oldmonk: proof? Pakistan is still on the map
