<0> wish i knew what i was doing drives me fricken crazy so many say windows blows and linux is the best so goto try linux and its more of a headache
<0> i wanna try linux to see what its like how can i not like something i dont try
<1> For the average joe, Windows is still the best option
<1> Linux isn't for everybody
<0> i wanna learn tho
<0> ive had every windows so far and nothing of linux
<1> Well, most likely you won't have a windows partition left after the formating
<0> everyone says is so stable and never get a virus and etc,etc
<2> noone needs a windows partition
<1> sinthetek: I sure do
<2> if my 12 year old sister can run linux so can the 'average joe'
<2> the only problem is compatiblity and installation for most people
<0> i dont mind if i lose the windows partition BUT i dont wanna lose my mp3s and stuff
<2> many distros have already overcome the latter hurdle
<1> sinthetek: Lack of specific software as well
<2> what specific software?
<2> (other than games)
<1> sinthetek: For me, scientific software apps
<3> hi. anyone up to speed on cx88 dvb-t stuff ? thanks
<2> what kinda scientific apps?
<2> what do you use them for?
<1> Flow cytometry analysis in particular is the big one
<2> what is cytometry?
<3> cell measurement ?
<2> i'm just curious now if i'd be interested in playing with them :P
<1> It's analyzing cell populations for certain markers
<1> Also analyzing things like cell death rates, calcium flux, etc
<2> hrm..
<1> Allows you to distinguish between different populations of cells from say something like peripheral blood
<1> So you could pick out the T cells, B cells, NK cells, etc
<1> And further analyze those populations
<2> where does the software get the input from?
<2> the computer is connected to some sort of microscope device or what?
<1> fcs files...created by flow cytometry aquisition software
<1> acquisition too
<1> It's a device that uses lasers to analyze the cells.
<2> ahh
<2> well that's kinda intersting i guess but not my cup of tea :P
<4> touch a;chmod +x a; ./a&
<4> now should I have an a process listed in ps ax ?
<1> pronetsys: Yep
<1> sinthetek: Probably wouldn't be able to afford to get into it
<4> but the process ends
<1> sinthetek: Software alone (for good software at least) costs around $1600.
<1> sinthetek: Cytometers run about $80,000
<2> pfffft
<2> i'll p*** on that, haha
<2> that reminds me of some books
<2> i think they were by anne mcfarlane
<2> is that who wrote a swiftly tilting planet?
<2> anyway, the books were about some girl who could somehow project her consciousness into cells and communicate with them or something
<3> for p in $USERS ; do wake $p ; done
<2> i forget... i only read one of them and i was like 9 or so at the time
<2> i never really understood it but it was something to do with a world inside our cells
<5> is that even possible ?
<5> a world inside our cells ?
<2> heh, not likely
<2> cells are made up of proteins and cytoplasm and mytochondria
<2> or something to that affect
<5> right ... :)
<2> in the book there was also something called 'fytochondria' i think
<2> which were supposed to make up the mytochnodria
<2> and the world was supposed to be inside of that
<2> i think
<2> i dunno, it was really weird
<2> but anything is possible though
<5> not quite anything :)
<2> that's debatable :P
<2> but yeah, not quite i don't think
<2> like if you study quantum science theories and stuff
<6> man, people can be real idiotns.
<2> i dunno, i don't fully grasp it all
<6> ooo python for everything!
<6> yeah, except when you actually need to write a real algo.
<6> then python bites. duh.
<2> hah
<6> annoying twit on LUG mailing list.
<2> i see same arguments about c
<6> maybe he doesn't know that I write code to plot wierd grids.
<6> and other stuff like that, where speed actually matters, and you can't get enough with Python et al.
<2> anyway, in quantum physics they say there are around 8 dimensions we can't even perceive
<7> Hello.
<2> except via advanced math
<7> Fedora Core 5. Any reasons why I shouldn't mount /var [ext3] as noatime,nodev and /tmp [ext3] as noatime,nodev,noexec ?
<2> and they are like billions of times smaller than the smallest matter we can detect (quarks i think)
<2> what those dimensions contain/represent is at present unknown
<7> What's up, sin?
<6> sybec: sounds sane.
<6> I suppose named FIFOs aren't considered device files.
<8> ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch
<2> sybec: not much, just wasting time
<2> hehe
<2> your nick is familiar but i can't place you
<2> unless you used to go by 'ms^virii'
<2> ?
<2> :P
<8> sybec i dont know about the first part but /tmp should be nodev,noexec,nosuid
<8> always on every server everywhere in the world LOL
<8> but there is something you have to add to yum.conf for updating, but i dont know what it is
<7> heh .. no .. I'm not "ms^virii"
<7> Redragon^: well .. noexec kind of implies nosuid
<9> whew
<7> I'm just not sure if fedora has some specific tools which make use of executing files residing in /var, /tmp
<10> sybec: File bug reports against them
<9> evening longword
<10> 'lo them
<9> so who did you put all your money on?
<10> AMD
<6> gee, too bad.
<8> hiya longword
<10> bron: I know.
<10> Evening Redr
<8> sybec i'm security paranoid :)
<9> fight!
<11> hrm.
<8> longword i had some revalations on my problem last night, will give them a spin this weekend
<8> hurt to much to think hard atm :)
<10> Redr: Did you make your 9:30am appointment?
<8> yup
<8> 2 removed and they didn't wanna come nicely
<10> Chunks of jaw came with them?
<8> nah they just didn't wanna come, had to break them in pieces cause of curved roots
<8> a few more hours and things will start feeling better :)
<2> hrm.. for some reason mouse-focus stopped working on my fluxbox :(
<9> omg
<9> goal
<10> Evening Gaia
<12> longword correct sir, it is :)
<10> Had a nice empty train home this evening
<10> Train departed right in the middle of the penalty shootout
<12> what penalty shootout?
<10> Gaia: Some hockey game or other
<12> longword no im being honest, i wasnt aware there was a game today
<10> Gaia: Germany vs. Argentina
<12> ah! ooh! who won then?
<12> hopefully germany
<10> Gaia: Kickoff for that was 4pm, ended in a draw, then Germany beat them on penalties
<12> neat!
<12> germany are even more boring than england lol
<10> Gaia: Italy is currently on top against Ukraine, a quarter of an hour into their match
<12> another 1/4 final?
<12> thought they were all being played at the weekend
<10> Apparently not.
<12> seems so
<12> so, apart from the one on sat, when is the next one then?
<10> Gaia: A few days later I expect
<10> Oh, somehow I wound up with a German bottle of Coke Cola
<10> It tastes Different
<12> ? how?
<13> how do i burn an audio cd with gnome cd/dvd creator?
<12> and if ya tell me how to make a bottle of coke..... etc
