<purserj> hmm this might hurt MS

<purserj> http://australianit.news.com.au/articles/0,7204,21273505%5E15306,00.html

<siccness> Isn't 1.9bn just loose change for MS?

<merlin-linux> hehe yeah that will cut into the petty cash a bit

<merlin-linux> damn they will have to go with out a big lunchin next week

<merlin-linux> lmao

<siccness> As if. They'll just have to stop supplying third world countries with food

<merlin-linux> siccness: i was being sarcastic

<siccness> I wasn't :)

<merlin-linux> i know

<Tatey> siccness suffers from nubness

<Tatey> http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/10gigethernet/ <-- best NIC ever

<siccness> Holy crap

<merlin-linux> $498USD

<siccness> Money well spent!

<merlin-linux> yeah

<siccness> Tatey: Where's my damn Sun CD?

<merlin-linux> siccness: postman pat has it

<siccness> lol

<Tatey> I don't care about Sun anymore

<Tatey> I don't even have time to play with Solaris :P

<siccness> Aww poor Tatey :P

<Tatey> http://bottlebrush.net.au ;)

<siccness> Eh.."Offering website design" and they've asked you to do it?

<merlin-linux> Tatey: hat were you work?

<siccness> or are you bottlebrush?

<Tatey> no, I am Bottlebrush

<merlin-linux> kewl

<siccness> I'm so glad your friend Flora mentioned the spelling error of Armani

<Tatey> hah

<Tatey> Flora is also a nub

<siccness> I think you're the nub.

<siccness> :P

<Tatey> '(

<Tatey> *:'(

<siccness> Something retarded is happening with my irssi :|

<siccness> Must be arch linux's fault

<Tatey> you used it? :P

<siccness> brb

<Tatey> nah, I reckon it's Gentoo's fault

<Tatey> Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who's the biggest nub of them all?

<siccness> TATEY!

<Tatey> *ERRRR* wrong answer

<cafuego_> while [ true ]; do zenity --error --title 'Cookie' --text 'I want a cookie!'; done

<cafuego_> Warning: one-liner bash virus

<siccness> I replied Tatey, to Bottlebrush Web & IT Solutions

<Tatey> cheers

<Tatey> yea... they can be rather expensive

<Tatey> do you have any experience with them?

<Tatey> them = business cards?

<siccness> Not personally, but my father has

<siccness> The more you order, the cheaper is it - obviously. But the more you order, the more you have left over that no one will ever take

<Tatey> yea

<Tatey> I probably don't need more than about 100 at this point

<siccness> I'd only order a few if I were, you. yeah like 100.

<siccness> Because people will mostly hear about your services via the internet anyway

<Tatey> at any rate, I need 100 clients to give cards too first :P

<siccness> but what's mostly important is that, well, your business card design kicks ass.

<merlin-linux> Tatey: get your business cards made on the business card cd's

<Tatey> I thought about that, but I have nothing to put on the CD's

<merlin-linux> and then you can put a static version of your web site on it and samples of what you and the company can do etc

<Tatey> that's a good idea though

<merlin-linux> Tatey: i had to create content for one of them business card cd's for a friend

<Tatey> thanks though siccness :D

<cafuego_> Why does ATI own scat.com ?

<Tatey> how much did it cost to get printed?

<merlin-linux> Tatey: i not sure, he covered that

<merlin-linux> i just done the content to go on the cd's

<Tatey> ahh nice

<merlin-linux> the business card cd's hold there abouts ~50MB

<Tatey> more than enough for a web site

<merlin-linux> yep and sample code etc and extras

<merlin-linux> and you can put a video on there promoting your business to

<Tatey> now all I need is a Mac

<merlin-linux> why?

<Tatey> I use Photoshop and Illustrator

<merlin-linux> ok

<Tatey> and I'd rather not use Windows XP

<merlin-linux> hehe yeah

<Tatey> Mac OS X is just as proprietary, it's just nicer to use than XP

<Phlosten> Mac OS X is a light shade of 'dark side'

<Phlosten> lighter

<Tatey> yea

<Tatey> I'm using XP in a VM atm, it's pretty good

<Tatey> I more want a separate machine for the purposes of mentally separating "work" from "play"

<Phlosten> win2k runs pretty good in VM

* purserj has to setup a windows VM

<purserj> I need to get the casts into iTunes

<Phlosten> i am just about to reinstall this system from scratch

<Phlosten> spent the last 2 days burning everything off it to dvd

<purserj> how big is the system?

<Phlosten> now just deciding how to partition it all

<Phlosten> about 100GB all up

<purserj> right

<Phlosten> 13 DVDs of data

<purserj> or an external hard drive ;)

<Phlosten> yeah, if I had one I would

<Phlosten> i have 25 DVD-RW discs

<Phlosten> biggest spare hdd i have is only 6GB

*** cps is now known as cps|out

<merlin-linux> kewl the hall hire guy is about 5 mins away

<merlin-linux> and then i get the great job of emptying my wallet

<Phlosten> a few more hours of travelling and you can empty it into my pocket :)

<merlin-linux> hehe

<merlin-linux> damn it 31C already

<Phlosten> sizzle sizzle

<merlin-linux> might have to turn the a/c units on soon

<Tatey> it's 26c here, and it's rather cool

<Tatey> and I'm in Brisbane

<Tatey> the "hot" city

<merlin-linux> i wish it was the same temp here as that

<Tatey> it's been an unusually cool summer in Brisbane

<merlin-linux> it been rather hot summer here over all

<Tatey> where are you situated?

<merlin-linux> south of adelaide cbd

<praetorian> hm weird

<praetorian> going to that url, required this computer to install parts from microsoft access 2000

<merlin-linux> it shouldn't

<merlin-linux> i am using pure linux

<praetorian> must do something special for ie on windows

<merlin-linux> i got no errors loading it

<praetorian> no, you might not

<praetorian> the server can tell what browser you are using

<merlin-linux> yep

<praetorian> so its quite obvious you wouldnt get errors..

<Davo_Dinkum> Yoyoyo

<elkbuntu> mah homiez?

<Davo_Dinkum> Sure why not.

<Phlosten> yo yo

<Rothbuntu> >_<

<Davo_Dinkum> It has recently come to my attention that VLC is a resource hog.

<Davo_Dinkum> mplayer ftw!

<Davo_Dinkum> This has been a public service announcement.

<Phlosten> mplayer rocks. simple things just rock

<Davo_Dinkum> Yup

<Davo_Dinkum> Especially when they can play xvid files without having to tweak any settings.

<Davo_Dinkum> Or max out my CPU so it hits 70C every 2 minutes.

<Phlosten> mplayer just works

<Phlosten> hooray for mplayer and coffee

<Phlosten> arg debian stable still uses xfree86

<Rothbuntu> i cant get mplayer to play anything :( plus vlc is the same everywhere makes it easy

<Kamping_Kaiser> Phlosten, yeh. not for much longer

<Kamping_Kaiser> Rothbuntu, are you instalilng codecs for it?

<Rothbuntu> most likley NO! but i did try and do something but it never worked

<Kamping_Kaiser> download codec pack from website -> extract -> look in readme -> extract where it says (/usr/local/codecs, and symlink to /usr/local/win32 for safety)

<jeff22> hi, where can I get a copy of the gnome-ppp package?

<cafuego_> !info gnome-ppp

<ubot3> Package gnome-ppp does not exist in

<cafuego_> ubot3: you're broken

<cafuego_> jeff22: In edgy: pool/universe/g/gnome-ppp/gnome-ppp_0.3.23-1_i386.deb

<cafuego_> fine

<jeff22> sorry, the window closed on me

<cafuego_> ;-)

<cafuego_> I was preparing this whole monologue about being rude

<cafuego_> now that's all for naught

<jeff22> could I have that address again please

<lisapc> jeff22 type: pppconfig

<lisapc> jeff22 u dont need gnome-ppp package

<jeff22> thanks lisapc, I have tried that

<lisapc> jeff22 tried what?

<cafuego_> jeff22: It's in universe, specifically pool/universe/g/gnome-ppp/gnome-ppp_0.3.23-1_i386.deb

<jeff22> tried using pppconfig

<lisapc> jeff22 type: pppconfig, then type pon to login

<lisapc> and poff to log out

<jeff22> thanks lisapc, but it doesn't allow me to connect

<lisapc> jeff22 didnt u know how to fill in pppconfig?

<jeff22> yes, I filled it in okay

<jeff22> In guess I don't know which port my modem is on?

<lisapc> jeff22 did you add user?

<jeff22> I added user

<lisapc> jeff22 what port is it using? com1? com2?

<jeff22> I don't know

<lisapc> always subtract 1 from whatever com its using

<lisapc> eg com1 = 0

<lisapc> jeff22 extrernal modem?

<jeff22> internal

<lisapc> com3

<jeff22> okay, I'll try that

<lisapc> so select the 2nd

<jeff22> thanks heaps

<lisapc> ttyS2

<lisapc> anytime

<lisapc> :-)

<lisapc> then type 'pon' to dial in

<jeff22> yes, I tried that before

<cafuego_> ttyS2 is com3 eh

<jeff22> okay

<cafuego_> jeff22: `dmesg' should tell you which com port the internal modem is on. it may vary, mine's com5 (ttyS6) for some odd reason.

<cafuego_> jeff22: .... is it a winmodem? Do you have proper drivers for it?

<lisapc> cafuego dmesg tells you what com port the internal modes is using?

<jeff22> no, it isn't a win modem

<lisapc> cafuego dmesg tells you what com port the internal modem is using?

<cafuego_> lisapc: of course

<cafuego_> lisapc: the seriald river detcts it and prints an "I am ttySwhatever" message

<lisapc> thats good

<lisapc> jeff22 what did dmseg say?

<cafuego_> eya greebo

<greebo> cafuego, heya

<jeff22> I'll have to check it out later, I only have one monitor

<lisapc> jeff22 what did dmseg say?

<jeff22> it ran a whole list of things

<jeff22> this is the first time I've used ubuntu, I'll have to slow down and read it all

<cafuego_> jeff22: You can limit it; 'dmesg | grep ttyS'

<jeff22> thanks

<cafuego_> `grep' is your friend :-)

<jeff22> I hope to know well

<jeff22> how do I get the downward stroke

<Fujitsu> jeff22: It's a `pipe', Shift+\

<jeff22> | thanks

<jeff22> bye, and thanks for your help
