Jan 07 21:07:00 --- linc_ is now known as michele Jan 07 21:07:17 --> KohlFusio (~Zippy@adsl-158-7-6.asm.bellsouth.net) has joined #TechShow Jan 07 21:07:28 Stream is nice and steady tonight. Jan 07 21:07:31 * Paladin knocks on wood. Jan 07 21:07:44 thats because I'm not listening :) Jan 07 21:07:45 that is because allan is rubbing the network cables to keep them warm. Jan 07 21:07:55 Hehe. Jan 07 21:09:49 my name got truncated, it should be KohlFusion Jan 07 21:10:50 Hi anyways KohlFusion Jan 07 21:10:59 hyya linc Jan 07 21:11:10 http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/moodyblues100/index.html Jan 07 21:11:18 There's the URL for the Computer Talk Audio Links Jan 07 21:11:51 http://thelinuxlink.net:8000 is coming in very clear Jan 07 21:12:07 what kind of connection are you using? Jan 07 21:12:20 DSL Jan 07 21:12:26 from verizon? Jan 07 21:12:34 BellSouth Jan 07 21:12:41 I'm on Verizon ADSL (768/128) Jan 07 21:13:00 bellsouth, that's right. Sould have said that but I was not aware that bellsouth had dsl. So I fired a blank with verizon. Jan 07 21:13:14 BellSouth just upgraded the streams but I don't know what they are off the top of my head Jan 07 21:13:16 Debian, what's wrong with Debian!?!?!??! (heh) Jan 07 21:13:17 Weren't bell and verizon in some way connected back down the road? Jan 07 21:13:19 There ya go. ) Jan 07 21:13:51 I don't think so Jan 07 21:14:21 "Debian is pronounced 'deb ee n'. It comes from the names of the creator of Debian, Ian Murdock, and his wife, Debra. " Jan 07 21:14:27 http://www.debian.org/intro/about Jan 07 21:14:38 I thought they were, both part of some other company that split off becoming bell-something and another thing that eventually rolled into verizon. Jan 07 21:15:04 i will procrastinate a bit here... until.... paladin... posts a link Jan 07 21:15:08 Mine used to be GTE. GTE + BellSouth = Verizon Jan 07 21:19:07 too quiet :) Jan 07 21:19:31 Listening to the 386 story and wondering where I was then Jan 07 21:19:53 this was back in the very early 90's Jan 07 21:20:07 http://www.verizonpathetic.com At+T -> Baby Bells: Bell Atlantic - > Verizon Jan 07 21:20:41 It would be interesing to see a tree of all the companies that sprang from AT+T. Jan 07 21:20:45 that source I've thought, late 80's early 90's Jan 07 21:21:27 linc was still using his commodore back then Jan 07 21:21:41 we werent privileged to have a 386 Jan 07 21:22:47 Commadore 64 :) Jan 07 21:22:52 how much was a 386 when it first came out, about 1500 bucks? Jan 07 21:23:15 you bet dont forget the amiga (?) Jan 07 21:23:17 Network install from a minimal CD: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ Jan 07 21:23:36 Netinst is 80MB Jan 07 21:25:24 http://www.bellsystemmemorial.com/index.html Jan 07 21:25:41 Mmmmm... archives. So watch what you say. :) Jan 07 21:26:16 I don't think he's listening tonight. He's just typing. Jan 07 21:26:19 thanks mellofone Jan 07 21:26:37 NP Jan 07 21:26:42 recording again :) Jan 07 21:27:17 anyone been to SourceForge lately, someone has ported all the great Atari Games Jan 07 21:27:54 Go Australia!!! whooo hooo Jan 07 21:28:02 I did not see that. I was grabbing a lot of games from freshmeat over the end of the break. Found Yars revenge and a couple of other atari's. Have to look again. Jan 07 21:29:48 quit making fun of accents, linc, yours isnt much better Jan 07 21:29:52 correction: its a emulator not a port Jan 07 21:30:11 oh an atari emulator Jan 07 21:30:19 It would be illegal to redistribute the ROMs for Atari games without approval from Atari Jan 07 21:31:05 of course it would. Now I understand that if you own the game you can access and download the rom. That is the way it works for the MaME stuff. Jan 07 21:31:19 Yeah. Of course. :) Jan 07 21:31:34 geek Jan 07 21:31:35 hee... tramil (sp) turned the lights out on atari as he ran out (with my $800) Jan 07 21:31:51 I'll have to dig through my crap and find those cartridges so I can grap the ROMs Jan 07 21:31:58 My mom gave my dad the binary LED clock for xmas. Cool.. Jan 07 21:32:09 in other words at open is going to be a digital rights management issue if someone burns the ROMs Jan 07 21:32:14 Did you get the blue or the red? Jan 07 21:32:21 he got the red Jan 07 21:32:34 blue was out of stock Jan 07 21:32:51 I knew a guy who kept referring to cdrom's as roms. I was over at his place doing some work and he was bragging about how he got this cool rom in the mail and I was thinking like what the hell, how did he get roms in the mail. Jan 07 21:33:05 Heh. Jan 07 21:33:16 Then he pulls out this generic, free isp disc or something. That was the last day I spent doing work for him. Jan 07 21:33:21 I wish I got a light saber for Christmas! Jan 07 21:33:35 i got linc a cheesy light saber two yrs ago Jan 07 21:33:40 Gameboy Advance SP.... does that count? (It rules!) Jan 07 21:33:52 yes it does. Do you have a gamecube? Jan 07 21:33:53 $30-$40 at walmart Jan 07 21:34:01 light sabre is cool though! Jan 07 21:34:06 No, just the GBA. Jan 07 21:34:29 We actually have two now, so we can play Mario Kart via the cable. Heh. Jan 07 21:35:26 The Xbox itself is a loss-leader but then they make money on the games. Jan 07 21:35:38 Like handing out free razors.... and then sell the blades. Jan 07 21:36:04 not surprised me, I thought the X box was doing pretty good or at least holding its own Jan 07 21:37:01 * KohlFusio got a rock and a twig ...again (note from Santa said "why break a 20 year tradition") Jan 07 21:37:58 Xboxes rule :) Jan 07 21:38:09 time to tak the dog out Jan 07 21:39:36 * KohlFusio still has a PS1 and one game, command and conquer red alert Jan 07 21:40:09 raid fridge Jan 07 21:45:27 metered! gulosh from that Hungarian restaurant ...I thought closed 3 years ago Jan 07 21:48:48 Libpng: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/ Jan 07 21:48:56 That's because slackware sucks! :) Jan 07 21:49:21 be nice debian $luser Jan 07 21:49:23 :-) Jan 07 21:49:45 Heh, come on, I couldn't let that easy one go by. :P Jan 07 21:49:54 I figured it was coming :-) Jan 07 21:50:33 packages.debian.org has been down a really really long time. Jan 07 21:50:35 not cool at all Jan 07 21:51:22 And then hordes the fix for himself! Jan 07 21:51:36 No fix for you! Jan 07 21:51:36 yeah the bumb. Jan 07 21:51:42 Come back, one week. Jan 07 21:53:35 Gentoo is like that too, you really learn about how Linux works. Jan 07 21:53:56 And their ebuilds give you custom compiled software, with package management. Jan 07 21:53:57 Very nice stuff. Jan 07 21:55:28 Red Hat was really ugly when I used it... around 7.x. But that's just me. Jan 07 21:55:59 apt-get isn't GUI. neither is Gentoo's emerge Jan 07 21:56:00 when the packages.debian.org is up it will have my updated slackware libpng-1.2.5 package :-). Jan 07 21:56:34 Heh, if it ever comes back up. Jan 07 21:57:05 alright, it's up on my server for download now. http://www.thelinuxlink.net/~dann/libpng-1.2.5-i586-1.tgz Jan 07 22:02:41 I love my ISP. I use Netrax in York, PA. They don't care if I run a network, host servers, or do anything. Jan 07 22:02:54 Static IP at no extra cost and you actually get a person when you call. Jan 07 22:03:16 that is the way fastnet used to be. Jan 07 22:03:22 Of course, now Verizon requires that you use VerizonOnline as your ISP. Jerks! :) Jan 07 22:05:06 linc is on Verizon and has and raves how wonderful his connection to msn is. Jan 07 22:05:07 "The Bastard Operator From Hell"-style excuse server. Jan 07 22:05:13 http://cgi.cs.wisc.edu/scripts/ballard/bofhserver.pl Jan 07 22:05:34 cool! Jan 07 22:05:58 Big XML list..... http://www.normanberesford.com/bofh/excuses.xml Jan 07 22:08:45 see you next week Jan 07 22:09:12 Thanks guys.
