Comments:
<0> smsie: its in a sandbox, but otherwise normal; not that I run it often
<0> <1> avengerx: haha, I've never heard anyone else say that except my future ex-mother-in-law.
<1> DaveHowe: Ahh, yeah.
<2> Dawkins on cnn at 8 tonight...
<3> whats a nice movie to watch in the train?
<4> oh my science!
<5> mikaa: pr0n!
<4> mikaa: the departed
<0> ghost in the shell?
<5> "Lila takes 14 inches in the ***"
<3> I've seen that already avengerx
<3> couldnt tell the difference between matt and leonardo so didnt understand it that well
<4> mikaa: the queen? seen that yet?
<3> isnt that a childrensmovie about chess?
<4> mikaa: no, it's pretty good and it got great reviews
<6> jesus ****ing christ, why the hell is my vmware closing as soon as it opens with a GUI issue.
<5> because it hates you
<4> mikaa: oh wait, it may not be out on dvd yet... sorry
<7> early report...Anna Nicole died of drug overdose
<3> yeah well I think my bf wont like that.. and we're traveling together so..
<8> safemode: must think it's saturday already
<0> avengerx: what is this "dvd" of which you speak? is it the thing you burn off your divx downloads onto?
<4> mikaa: thank you for smoking is a pretty good movie
<4> DaveHowe: heh yeah i slipped a bit there
<5> why do we care why (or even that) some pornstar died?
<3> mm.. I'll have a look at that avengerx
<6> libolt; actually it seems to be looking for libs in 32bit land that debian doesn't provide
<0> smsie: well, she was fairly hot when she was younger. we can hope they have a "special" and reshow all her movies - after 9pm, naturally :)
<5> whatever
<8> safemode: ooh fun, I haven't messed with vmware in about 6 years
<5> will that be on BBC1?
<5> I'm getting a phone that I can watch TV on
<0> C4 I guess :)
<5> I might even use it if they'll be showing porn :)
<0> smsie: that's sad, but oddly cool :)
<5> DaveHowe: yeah, I thought so :) (it's free - well, with the contract, so what the hell)
<0> smsie: now all you have to do is figure out how to play Bleach on it :)
<5> I really wanted a phone that was a PDA...but the only one I liked, I needed to take a 50/mo contract for 18 months...and I didn't like it *that* much
<0> I am waiting for a pda with an epaper screen, large enough to use as an ebook reader
<5> DaveHowe: oh, I already have LOTS of those. They're called "books". Amazing invention#
<4> books are like tapes though, you gotta hunt for what you want
<5> they fit into your bag, and are completely portable
<5> avengerx: http://www.amazon.com Enjoy!
<0> smsie: would be invaluable for reference books. I am *not* carrying around 60+ oriellys when I have already paid for cd bookshelf copies...
<5> DaveHowe: ah. That's reasonable, yes. Although that's why I have laptops I guess
<5> I have a few dead-tree O Reilly's as well
<4> ebook readers are like what ipods were to music... you can carry all that crap with you in one tiny device
<0> smsie: large, power hungry, not as convenient as a pocket-sized ebook reader
<5> work are very nice about buying me whatever books I want
<0> smsie: who doesn't? orielly only has to publish on a subject to become the standard reference work
<5> they've sent stuff to this address in Ireland for me multiple times before and never cared
<5> now I want to send a laptop there, and they're querying it
<4> thats one thing i share in common with you techies in my field... our refernce books are huge... the california penal code is gigantic, i can't wait to get it on an ebook.... another thing we share is a hatred for our dumber customers
<0> maybe they think you are a terrorist?
<5> they can't know I'm a terrorist
<5> I've been very careful
<4> ./msg fbi <5> they can't know I'm a terorist
<0> smsie: everyone is a terrorist until proved otherwise. even cartoon characters made out of lite-brite leds :)
<4> i don't know how they'd know
<8> smsie: take off that hat with I R TERRIST on it then
<5> avengerx: oh, they *already* know I said it. Echelon and all that
<0> avengerx: they do now, after all, irc isn't encrypted
<4> i killed jfk!
<0> avengerx: were you even born then?
<5> I *am* jfk!
<4> DaveHowe: actually, no
<5> you killed me! you bastard!
<0> you killed smsie! you bastard!
<0> or slightly older...
<4> well he shouldn't have been sleeping with my woman!
<0> you deadded me you wrotten swine!
<4> im aristotle onasis
<9> can one run X without a windows manager ? will I still have all the X functions ??
<5> DaveHowe: now you're getting *obscure*. These merkins won't have a clue what that is! :)
<0> good.
<5> dual2003: you can run X without a wondow manager, yes. X without a window manager is *very* basic though. All you get is a display, a mouse pointer and the ability to type. No actual windows
<5> dual2003: what do you call "X functions"?
<0> smsie: you can launch programs into the session, as long as you don't mind them all stacking at 0,0 and not being resizable :)
<9> smsie: can I open terminals or do I have to switch between virtual terms, Ctrl+Alt+F#
<5> DaveHowe: indeed. I've used it in the past to launch kde or similar from another machine
<9> I'll stick with Gnome I guess...
<5> dual2003: you can open terminals, but they'll all sit on top of each other, and you won't be able to select which is active
<0> dual2003: you can open anything you like, provided you have a term to launch it and have DISPLAY set appropriately
<6> wtf, one of my hdds is now write protected. ..must have had something to do with hotswapping the cdrom
<5> dual2003: you could go for a 'lightweight' window manager instead of gnome (which is a *heavy* bitch at times). Look at fluxbox or something I guess
<0> siglite: idd, still, you can always do a -o remount
<4> xfce works ok for me
<6> xfce4 is good. get rid of all the desktop **** and you're golden
<9> smsie: cool, that was my next question. Are there any lighter managers...
<0> smsie: I see knoppix now comes with beryl and xgl....
<5> one of these days, I'll put a head on a linux box again...see how bad the state of linux desktop is these days
<5> can't be much worse than it used to be
<0> ying tang ying tang
<0> argh, the horror
<9> smsie: windows still masters as for desktops, I think. For servers, linux 100%.
<5> every time I think "can't be much worse than it used to be" though, something goes and proves me wrong
<5> DaveHowe: wow!
<5> DaveHowe: I'd have *paid* to see that :)
<0> smsie: co-sung with tony :)
<4> DaveHowe: were you at least drunk when doing it?
<0> avengerx: of course
<5> DaveHowe: well, you can both sing a bit...
<5> I imagne the ying tang song was never so well sung :)
<0> smsie: sure. he sings the ying, I sing the tang...
<5> hehe
<0> smsie: nah, we were both hamming it up something wrotten. is there any other way?
<5> DaveHowe: must wander up there again sometime soon and have Tony give me another lesson in pool :)
<5> in karaoke? Not really :)
<0> "He't fallen in the watter"
<0> smsie: well, maybe not, but I mean the yingtang song. anything by spike just requires hamming...
<6> brb, gotta reboot, I fubared my block layer
<6> next time you think hotswapping a pata device that's not on a hotswappable channel is a good idea, just reboot. IT works, but everything goes to **** anyway.
<0> ooh, I found a site with scripts on!
<5> news at 11
<0> "Greenslade! Abandon these financial irregularities! Hand over that copper coin of the realm and read this extract from a recent issue of the Telegraph."
<0> http://www.thegoonshow.net/scripts_show.asp?title=s06e19_the_jet_propelled_guided_naafi
<5> oh
<5> goon scripts :)
<5> excellent
<5> forgive me...I thought you'd made the amazing discovery of some website with some javascript in it :)
<5> I was questioning your sanity somewhat :)
<5> DaveHowe: I had a server die on me today
<5> I'm *not* happy
<5> I'll have a stern chat with it tomorrow and persuade it never to do that again
<5> I suspect it will suffer a reinstall
<5> I'll have a good look at the disk as well...might just replace the set
<0> "Let me see. (mumbles nonsense) Good heavens, sir. It's a plan of a new Guided NAAFI! A self-contained missile capable of carrying eighty-two staff, ten NAAFI pianos, sixty thousand gallons of tea and twelve tons of buttered crumpets, being shot six thousand miles up and set fully operative at the point of impact in sixteen seconds. It sounds quite impossible."
<0> and with that note of insanity, I head for my bed
<5> :)
<10> height: 100% (in a div tag) works in IE (it stretches to fit content), but not in FF...any ideas?
<5> Steakk: it's a known bug
<10> smsie, any workarounds for it?
<6> http://www.siteexperts.com/forums/viewConverse.asp?d_id=17779
<6> first return from google
<11> hmm.. broken dependencies in ubuntu.
<12> ****ing fascist mailservers. I don't CARE whether some idiot in some other company put an IP address in their MX record, send the ****ing email!
<11> ;)
<2> ****in' lightbulbs
<2> Always burning out at inopportune times
<13> lol
<13> or opportunistic too.
<13> i've had that happen.. and convenient power failures.
<2> I'm sitting here in the dark
