<0> Viking667: lots of what?
<0> wlfshmn: I know, but I only intend to use it for music, the odd .avi
<1> Nanuq: external hard drive enclosures.
<0> wlfshmn: IOW, I don't need fast seeking.
<2> Nanuq: I know there is a couple of host-powered DVD+RW drives around, but they tend to be in the 300$ range about here
<0> wlfshmn: I like my LG
<3> wlfshmn, isnt 2.5" SAS drives fairly nice
<1> Nanuq: to be exact, one that takes 2.5" drives, and has USB2 AND Firewire.
<0> wlfshmn: I just ****ing rocks. Works great with DVD-RAM
<0> Viking667: I'll let ya know
<2> Nanuq: for media, I just stick them in a server in a diffrent room and down worry about noise or wires ;)
<0> I have USB2 here on this machine, but not my lappy.
<1> Nanuq: ...you'll let me know about ... what?
<0> I do, however, have IEEE1394 on my lappy, but it's 4 pin.
<1> I'm lost, by the way.
<0> Viking667: If I find one.
<2> Nanuq: mine is a.. plextor something..
<4> http://www.ciao.co.uk/StarTech_com_2_5_External_IEEE_1394a_FireWire_and_USB_2_0_Combo_IDE_Hard_Drive_Enclosure__5741777
<0> DaveHowe: well there's an URL
<1> I'm not the one that's wanting it! I thought it was YOU!
<1> ahh.
<2> Nanuq: PX-750A, it calls itself
<0> DaveHowe: looks ghey
<0> wlfshmn: LG GSA-5163D
<2> DaveHowe: I hate how they design everything to the point that it's utterly-nonstackable
<4> Nanuq: not my problem. you wanted firewire+usb2, I provided firewire+usb2 :)
<0> wlfshmn: 16x, DL, and like I said, does DVD-RAM
<0> DaveHowe: Cheers
<0> What I want is closer to..
<2> DaveHowe: Whatever happened to plain old rectangles
<4> if you had said "usb, firewire, has to look manly" that would be different...
<5> italiaaaaaaaaaaa
<0> DaveHowe: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140005322652
<0> DaveHowe: that style/colour
<2> Nanuq: Look good, ***uming it comes in black too ;)
<0> wlfshmn: dunno. I got it to match my mac mini. which I never use.
<2> Nanuq: and I disslike the special power connector, but I suppose thats a minor flaw
<0> wlfshmn: it's on top right now.
<0> http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150006101226
<0> that would also be acceptable
<2> Nanuq: this thing is a tad noisy, thats all
<0> wlfshmn: I like external stuff. I can move it about wherever I need it.
<4> http://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=110_137&products_id=974 <-- manly enough?
<2> Nanuq: I just need to get myself USB-hub, and I should be able to stuff the computer on the side of the desk and free up some space
<0> problem being I want new technology mixed with old
<0> like, I'm actually thinking of a Dell Latitude C610, to complement my C810. Something smaller. Pentium 3.
<0> Except it's not USB2. Yes, I can get PC Card adapters.
<2> DaveHowe: meh! Still non-stackable
<5> italy won the world cup
<0> DaveHowe: Actually, the URL I pasted before would be manliest.
<0> DaveHowe: Bare drive.
<0> DaveHowe: You know the 2.5" drives, too. Never squeeze them!
<0> DaveHowe: Better, but I prefer the black or black/silver one. Looks smaller.
<0> but ****, 11.55 GBP isn't bad.
<2> Nanuq: more manly: https://www.dustin.se/DacsaPortal/?ProdID=5010072211
<0> DaveHowe: no power adapter?
<4> dunno. doesn't say there is one
<0> I see it comes with a 4p to 6p IEEE1394 cable, but without external power, that'd be useless.
<0> Unless you can mooch off USB
<0> wlfshmn: somewhat, but I want minimanly
<0> 22mm thick
<0> wlfshmn: okay, it just looks bigger in the picture
<0> yup, very manly
<4> looks stackable though. all the interfaces are on the end
<0> especially with those screws
<4> ribbed structure should keep a stack stable
<0> and grille
<0> DaveHowe: ribbed for her pleasure?
<0> ribbed for _his_ pleasure
<4> dunno. looks a little wide, even for my ex :)
<0> DaveHowe: Actually, some tiny rare earth magnets in/on each screw..
<2> DaveHowe: ribbed structure would keep the stack zigzagged or unstable, if they are symetric
<0> DaveHowe: and they'd *plink* together
<3> woo, sushi finally here
<2> Nanuq: good grief. no magnets on your harddrive enclosure! ;)
<0> wlfshmn: permanent magnets like that, small enough and far enough away from the platters, wouldn't affect a damned thing
<2> Nanuq: Just lean a book against the stack, and you are set.
<2> Nanuq: I ***ume you aren't building a free-standing leaning tower of pisa
<0> wlfshmn: thanks for that
<0> wlfshmn: see if I can find it closer to home
<2> Nanuq: well yeah, that isn't the cheapest retailer on the planet, to say the least ;)
<0> Hahaha
<0> wlfshmn: did you catch the name of the company?
<0> it's MAPOWER
<2> Nanuq: They are wickedly good at delivering domestically though. I have yet to get an order that took more than two days to get to me, and that was because there was a national holliday in the way ;)
<0> I read that as MANPOWER
<0> wlfshmn: SEK exkl. moms .. different price for mothers?
<3> haha
<3> VAT ;)
<3> VAT being 25%
<0> I know, I know.
<0> FFS.
<4> 17.5% here
<0> DaveHowe: I guess ours would be PST and GST together
<0> so here, 8% and 6%
<0> now
<0> was 7% for GST
<1> here, GST is 12.5%
<1> but that's across the board, on every product.
<0> now this. is. ****ing. cool.
<0> http://www.mapower.de/deutsch/pages/Produkte/extgeh/KC/KC31Nh.jpg
<0> manly, USB2, and 10/100
<3> actually we have 13% food tax, on takeout goods
<3> That was supposed to lower food pricing
<4> VAT in the uk - you pay 17.5% on everything you buy, charge 17.5% on everything you sell; subtract the former from the latter, and give the difference to the government
<4> in theory, you could do that as a consumer too, provided you claimed everything you bought was for business use :)
<2> Nanuq: Nah. Women just aren't allowed to purchase electronics. Our holy scripture forbids them from partaking in anything non-analog.
<6> i have sevreal eltric gizmos
<0> Get her!
<6> I even bought dave his cpu
<4> Becka: vibes don't count ;)
<0> Get cheeksy too!
<6> DaveHowe i have my ne wtablet =)
<3> Becka, on i'm sure you do
<2> Becka: Well, thats fine. As long as they are analog. Multiple speeds are fine, but if they have diffrent programs, it's probably electronic.
<7> Nanuq: got rid of your orkut account?:o)
<0> hrm
<4> fredk: she bought herself a digitizing tablet the other day, its huge....
<0> I wonder if the 5 volt dc netzteil comes in NA style
<2> DaveHowe: I got my brother a small such thing a few years back
<0> cheeksy: did I?
<3> DaveHowe, Designer phase? :P
<6> i wnat wanna those illumintaing keyboard n moyuse two
<2> DaveHowe: persoanll,y I can't draw worth ****, even if I did use an electronic gadget to do it
<7> Nanuq: dont know. i see there is a quest here ;o)
<0> cheeksy: eh?
<2> Becka: nono. you don't
<4> fredk: dunno. she is good at the web design stuff though, for a beginner
<6> :pouts:
<2> Becka: computers that shine and have windows and contain blacklights and what not are the computer-equivalent of ricers
<4> wlfshmn: I can, sorta - I can do an accurate rendition. I am a draftsman not a artist though, if you can see the distinction
<8> anyone knows some rigid TV-watching software for Ubuntu linux?
<0> cheeksy: Nope.
<2> DaveHowe: Oh I sure can.
<0> cheeksy: My birthday was yesterday.
<2> DaveHowe: I learned a song on the guitarr once ;)
<7> i know
<6> wlfshmn its just nice to have flashy gizmos n gadgets...

<2> DaveHowe: But to adlib on the instrument, no freakin' way
<0> query x@channels.undernet.org
<0> ewps
<2> Nanuq: atleast you didn't type the second line ;)
<7> Zedane got a red card for knocking an italian guy on his chest with his head
<0> wlfshmn: aye
<0> wlfshmn: turns out I had a window open anyhow
<0> wlfshmn: http://www.mapower.de/deutsch/pages/Produkte/extgeh/KC/map-kc21open-1.jpg
