Comments:
<0> Eric: apparently Vonage has filed a complaint about it...it could potentially be an anticompete case.
<1> LUTE: funny thing. I dont even -run- linux, and I know just how to do it
<2> Tamahome_: you mean, those using shaw's 'net service, using voip services provided by anyone other than shaw, ***uming shaw offers such?
<0> Eric: exactly.
<1> LUTE: but it does require a minimum IQ of 42 though
<2> Tamahome_: geez
<3> smsie: they're reminding people quite heavily here that it'll get your *** arrested, and then you'll be barred from .de forever, and from travelling *ever* to football matches abroad.
<2> Tamahome_: I'm not going to bother with a phone line
<2> Tamahome_: Bell are ****in' crooks
<0> Eric: did I tell you I lost broadband?
<2> Tamahome_: you mentioned, si
<4> whyzzyrd: it's still not gonna stop anyone, and we all know it
<5> Nanuq: reading the article on slashdot it's more like "gee, thats a nice voip connection you've got there, shame if something were to... happen... to it while you were using it. For $10 we could see to it that nothing of the sort were to happen.
<0> not happy about that
<3> smsie: That indeed. I do hope they carry out their threats.
<0> Fred: it's QoS for ****ing 64kbit.
<2> Tamahome_: not even
<2> Tamahome_: if you can't pull 64kbps, some/most systems will compress it down to 9.6ish afaik
<2> Tamahome_: 64kbps is uncompressed
<0> man, McGuinty is such a ****wad
<5> hm, actually i don't see it on slashdot. Where the hell did I read about that this morning
<0> I saw it on The Register
<5> thats probably it ;)
<3> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/10/vonage_voip_tax_protest/
<4> one of these days I must start reading the FUD sites
<4> but who has time?
<0> I make time
<4> to read ****?
<3> smsie: the register used to be a ****-lot better
<4> whyzzyrd: so did slashdot
<4> before all the wannabes invaded
<4> slashdot was good for about 6 months
<3> Lester Haines is still quite funny on the reg
<2> Tamahome_: he is
<2> Tamahome_: thought it'd be nice to have libs in the province, but he's such a twat
<6> lol
<7> help please
<7> e ceva roman pe aici?
<8> Lolutz: English
<0> hmmm, Men's Nike for $80... I do need new shoes
<9> Lolutz: only engleza. And tell us what you want help WITH.
<2> Tamahome_: how long do they last ya?
<6> Nooo, look for New Balance, they're great and much cheaper than Nike overall
<0> my shoes never last more than a year
<0> but I should really have 2 pair.... one for outside and one for in
<6> I've had a pair of NB 1000's for about 4 years now, and I still wear them
<6> And I *do* abuse them
<2> I paid that for good leather shoes that've lasted me two so far
<0> I punish my shoes
<2> and I can resole them for < $20
<7> how can i do internet sharing on ubuntu
<3> CeruleanD: I just don't buy trainers. I don't run. I don't need em.
<7> ??
<4> Lolutz: www.lartc.org
<10> Steel toe, for sack kicking.
<6> I just liked them 'cause they were high-tops and I'm clumsy :)
<3> Nanuq: I buy good leather shoes too. And work buy me Caterpillar boots.
<6> They've probably saved my ankles who knows how many times, hehe
<4> whyzzyrd: thems decent boots
<2> Cynic: well, these were made in .us
<6> I got some great "walking" shoes, simple, brown, sturdy, and very "sticky" on ice and slippery conditions, from Dunham I believe, they're a NB company
<2> Cynic: okay, so it's prolly still a sweatshop
<3> smsie: they aren't half as good as they used to be, but I don't care, I don't pay for em.
<2> CeruleanD: New Brunswick?
<11> Nanuq: it's usually safe to ***ume so.
<4> whyzzyrd: true. They became designer rather then useful...they're still decent boots though
<3> smsie: I need steel toes, because I go on building sites as part of my work.
<4> hard to find better than a good pair of rigger boots though
<4> bloody expensive
<3> Last pair of cats I had, the soles split.
<4> whyzzyrd: I don't need steel toes...I just like them. I spent a decade having to wear them, hard to change those habits :)
<6> New Balance
<10> I wear Mack boots. My "work" pair have lasted 3 years so far.
<6> lol
<10> I do all the time. The only thing that happens is the leather gets scuffed.
<4> whyzzyrd: get decent rigger boots. Spend about 150/pair
<6> http://www.sportsmansguide.com has a great array of outdoor/work boots
<6> And some nice sneakers if you're lucky
<4> whyzzyrd: you can kick down buildings with a decent pair of rigger boots
<0> Rel: you didn't wear DMs?
<3> I used to buy DM boots. But they're crap quality now too.
<5> DMs?
<6> Doc Martens
<6> (I ***ume?)
<5> nah
<3> smsie: If RadioSpares sell em, I can buy em.
<10> Rich kid boots. ;)
<3> CeruleanD: indeed
<5> well, not doc martens ;)
<0> Ceru: *nod*
<4> whyzzyrd: doubt they will. Jewsons probably do though
<6> All I can think when I see "DM" is either "Dungeon Master" or "Deadmines"
<3> I used to buy DM work boots at the local agri supplier. a pair.
<6> Damned RPG's consume my soul.
<3> Rich kid boots they were not.
<10> They were around here.
<3> smsie: Ahh, but I wonder if work has an account with Jewson.
<4> whyzzyrd: petty cash man!
<3> smsie: we have no such concept
<4> whyzzyrd: basically the boots you wear are about the most important thing you wear on site. Don't bother trying to save money on them
<3> smsie: quote -> approval -> po -> invoice -> approval -> payment, or nothing.
<12> anyone tried ipodlinux.org ?
<4> comfort and safety, get decent boots
<4> whyzzyrd: ****!
<6> Can anyone point me towards a really good command reference for TCSH?
<3> smsie: CAT are the best I can get easily, and they're better than the cheap **** CPC sell.
<10> I used my boots to stop a car from rolling away last weekend. They're tools!
<6> I have the O'Reilly csh & tsch book, but it's at home. :(
<4> whyzzyrd: I have a growing collection of ORAQ books. I buy them, hand the administrator the invoice, she asks Alex to sign a petty cash thingy...it's only been questioned once, and that was when I spoent like 150 in one go
<4> s/AQ/A/
<6> I asked my HR/accountant lady if there was a petty cash budget, she couldn't stop laughing for a full 2 minutes
<4> whyzzyrd: I buy ALL our blank media and claim it back on PC. If I didn't, we'd get ripped off BIG
<3> smsie: I just po it from aria.
<4> the "approved" catalogue charges for a spindle of 50
<4> I said "**** THAT". I go get spindles of 100 for about
<0> smsie: OUCH.
<3> books, I fill in a form, the secretary orders em, and then they arrive. We have an amazon account etc.
<3> smsie: that's still $bignum.
<4> whyzzyrd: for a spindle of 100 DVDs? That's cheap
<13> hmm how are dual layers priced these days?
<3> DVD, -R?
<4> whatever's cheap that day
<0> **** it, I don't feel like making anything tonight... guess I'll have to go to McD's
<4> all our drives are +-, so it doesn't matter
<3> smsie: that is cheap.
<3> What do you use so many DVD's for for work?
<9> smsie: I got sent a drive where the reviews showed "read/write -R, read-write -RW, read +R"
<4> whyzzyrd: because I don't trust dozy ****tards (system support) to keep proper backups...so I keep my opwn as well
<6> Anyone ever eat at an A&W? I got some coupons for an onion cheddar melt that looks delicious... 1/4lb burger w/melted cheddar and fried onion rings on it... mmmm... but, I haven't eaten at an A&W since I lived in Washington state (i.e. over 23years ag)
<6> ago
<9> However, the drive doesn't say it can write (or read) +R
<14> hey .. somebody has an ideea(in few words) about how to: offering a protected workspace(in windows) in a integrated web aplication for executing unix commands on other machine(linux) ?
<13> hmm, dual layers seems to cost about 4 GBP here
<0> there used to be an A&W in the mall near me... but I don't think they did terribly well
<3> fredk: I can get 10 for
<6> That's what I'm worried about, in this entire region I know of only *one* A&W restaurant, it's a combo A&W/KFC down the street from me...
<4> not that the dozy ****wits KNOW I keep my own
<13> whyzzyrd, not bad
<6> Not a good sign
<3> singles for .17
<6> Although I love A&W root bear...
<6> beer
<4> in some ways, I'm *waiting* for the day they have to admit they don't have adequete backups
<13> whyzzyrd, ****e ones ? or decent stuff?
<0> KFC I can't stand anymore... used to love it when I was a kid.
<0> nothing quite as gross as biting into slimey chicken.
