<0> Besides, nothing that a graphics card signals should cause the screen to **** up that badly.
<1> dwm: at doc.ic.ac.uk, graphics cards *cannot* be in short supply.
<1> dwm: entirely true.
<2> dwm: unless microsoft is involved, of course =)
<0> whyzzyrd: True, but this is at home.
<3> dwm: probably tried to drive it at too high a refresh rate
<4> Geez, I need to learn swedish
<1> Tamahome: modern stuff just tells you you're a ****wit, and to change it.
<5> so you can listen to abba in their original, untranslated glory?
<0> Tamahome: If it was a CRT on an analog output, maybe. This is a pretty damn recent DVI flatpanel.
<4> No, so I can understand WTF is written here :)
<1> PolarWolf: is there some cute swedish just walked in nextdoor?
<4> "Nu r det klart att Sverige och Skellefte ska arrangera EM, bde sprint och medeldistans vecka 9 2008."
<4> whyzzyrd: I wish
<1> dwm: If the screen'll display the no signal box, it's probably ok.
<0> PolarWolf: It's predicting the end of the world. You don't want to know the details.
<4> dwm: hah
<0> whyzzyrd: It doesn't even do _that_ reliably.
<5> he needs to know when it is so he can finally make his move on the cute swedish girl next door
<0> whyzzyrd: If I physically kill the power for several tens of seconds, then re-apply, _then_ it displays the 'no signal'. The rest of the time, it just sits there.
<6> time to RMA it.
<0> That's the last ****ing time I run a beta Vista build with beta ATI drivers on my nice shiny hardware. Bastards.
<1> dwm: warranty cover yes?
<1> dwm: See, what did you expect from M$?
<5> what's a vista?
<0> OldMonk: This is a vista: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~dwm/Photos/Tallships-SSN200/main-DSCF0125.html
<1> dwm: that it is.
<0> Revenger: Aye. Officially, it's owned by DoC so hopefully I can ask Matt et al to handle the repairs for me.
<7> how do you pronounce it anyway? veesta or vista?
<5> no wonder your video is ****ed -- youre trying to run a landscape on your monitor
<1> twonkbat: vesta make canned curry
<0> whyzzyrd: Then that would be appropriate. It barfed all over my hardware.
<1> twonkbat: and swan vestas are a type of match
<1> twonkbat: and you can guarantee that whatever becomes the "standard" will be the bloody wrong pronunciation.
<7> lol :D
<0> Pronunciation flamewar, #N+1.
<6> lihncks or leenocks.
<7> torvalds made a recording of his pronounciation i think
<6> aye
<7> dunno if that was meant to set the record straight
<0> The only question left is whether I can still really trust this card.. wondering if it's permenantly b0rked. Hmm.
<8> the correct way to pronounce linux IS: *drum roll* ... linux
<0> twonkbat: Yes, he did. RedHat 5.2 shipped with it as the default "test the wave out" sound file, IIRC.
<8> i pronounce it le-nucks (with a short e)
<8> soft e*
<0> "My naam ees Leenus toovahlds, and I pronounce leenux as leenux." Or something.
<6> hmm. whisky.
<7> can't stand whisky, give me a guiness any day :)
<1> twonkbat: where *are* you from?
<3> Guinness, the beer you eat.
<7> the uk
<0> whyzzyrd: Ireland, obviously. :)
<1> Revenger: anything decent?
<6> talisker
<8> yeah, cause that was so obvious
<1> Revenger: gah. That stuff makes me ill, even in tiny quantity.
<9> Revenger, Linus Torvalds said that it does not matters how pronounce his name if you use linux
<1> Revenger: as do other cheaply-distilled spirits.
<7> the asda brand vodka resembles paint stripper
<7> probably does the same job as well
<3> LOL
<3> well, you can stain a deck with GUinness.
<7> lol
<1> twonkbat: I bet adsa vodka is very evil.
<1> twonkbat: I drink Krolewska, Pan Tadeuz, or anything else that's more than a bottle.
<4> Vodka...favoured dilluted alcohol
<4> err, flavoured, rather
<3> hm, Portugal playing the Netherlands today
<1> twonkbat: I don't have any trouble with malts, apart from talisker.
<7> i avoid spirits in general, i don't have the stomach for them
<1> twonkbat: oh, and no fscker try to feed me "lager".
<3> l8rz
<3> ooo, my sister bought a MacBook
<7> i was in the apple store in london about three weeks ago and saw those
<7> i didn't like them too much
<3> I used to be a Mac aficionado, before they became iPod, Inc.
<5> ksh
<10> OldMonk
<3> beer o'clock?
<11> beer thirty someplace
<3> indeed
<3> I'mma go shower and stop by the beer store before the game
<10> thanks
<6> holy ****.
<6> "heavy storms/thunderstorms"
<6> "tornado warning"
<12> hey whats the syntax for wget
<5> Revenger: whyzzyrd told you it was bad whisky
<5> chillls: man wget?
<12> thanks
<0> chillls: `wget`, `wget --help`, `man wget`.
<1> Revenger: I never said it was bad, I said I couldn't drink it.
<1> and on that note, a whisky sounds like a fine idea.
<13> way too hot for whisky
<0> Hmm. Anyone know of a video editor that doesn't ****?
<14> whyzzyrd: Ta' muchly
<14> whyzzyrd: I could do with a good few stiff whiskys too.
<14> whyzzyrd: Been working almost non-stop (apart from getting on average about 5 hours sleep per night) for the last couple of weeks.
<14> whyzzyrd: I'm now sitting in my new office, relaxing a bit.
<1> Tron: I've done that before now.
<1> dwm: No video editor I've tried doesn't ****.
<1> dwm: Work just got me a copy of premiere pro, so we'll see if that ****s or now.
<1> dwm: I also hear that final cut pro is pretty good.
<14> whyzzyrd: And Russ has now gone on holiday for the rest of the week. half of the stuff from the old offices still hasn't been delivered yet, and TOmorrow is Monday - and everyone'll be back, in the new office, with lots of folks nowhere to sit ;)
<14> whyzzyrd: It's going to be a _busy_ week.
<2> sounds like fun =)
<1> Tron: sounds hellish TBH.
<0> whyzzyrd: Hmm. I'm just looking to do some simple editing / transcoding; file concatenation, editing out of adverts, that sort of thing.
<0> whyzzyrd: Plus, I'm on a linux box. Premiere Pro sounds like rather expensive overkill. :)
<1> dwm: What have you tried/
<1> dwm: 150. Can't complain, it's work's money.
<14> whyzzyrd: I can gaurantee it's going to get quite hellish this week. Anyways, just reminded myself there's a wee problem with citrix I need to sort out. Laters.
<0> KinoDV - Didn't like MPEG2 much; Diva - immature, and doesn't seem to do editing of individual clips; about to give Cinelerra a go.
<1> Tron: can't you say "****it" and go home to a gl*** of whisky and yer wife?
<1> dwm: if you find something good, tell me..
<0> Hmm, ftp.nerim.net doesn't seem to like IPv6 anymore.
<15> Tron: you guys STILL moving ****?
<0> Ahh, the repository moved. It's debian-multimedia.org now..
<14> smsie: Supposed to have completed by today. The movers are a bunch of lazy bastards.
<15> Tron: most people are
<14> smsie: Didn't help that by complete coincidence the Service Lift in this new building went up the spout.
<14> smsie: Gave them a ****ing great excuse to do less than nothing.
<1> Tron: ow.
<15> Tron: service lifts *never* work properly...it's a law of nature or something
<14> smsie: Aye, I know.
<1> smsie: we buggered a lift once.
<1> stripped the thread on the hydraulic pump
<14> smsie: Still, if I weer in charge of the movers, I'd have a couple of guys stationed from ground to 4th floor handing things up.
<0> "Apologies, but the lift is currently out of service. The nearest working elevator is in the building across the street."
<1> blew hydraulic fluid all over the plant room
<14> smsie: or I'd have them use the two perfectly working and new elevators at the fron of the building.
<15> Tron: yeah
<15> Tron: I worked on a big bank once...they had a M***IVE ups that had to go to the top floor, and the lift was dead. They wound up having to dismantle it on the ground and carry it by hand to the 5th floor
<15> had something silly like 50 car sized batteries
<14> smsie: *wince*
<15> this was a UPS which had to keep the place running for 15 minutes only
<15> the time it took the generator to kick in
<1> smsie: That's not a m***ive UPS by any means, but it's a ****-lot of work.
<1> smsie: we've got 440V's worth of 12V cells in the 40kva job..
<15> whyzzyrd: yeah, I meant comparatively m***ive in terms of what can be carried up stairs :)
<1> smsie: We've only 24 cells in the telephone UPSen.
<1> smsie: You hear of russ's doorstop aqcuisition?
