**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jun 9 20:10:07 2004 Jun 09 20:10:07 --> You are now talking on #techshow Jun 09 20:23:52 --> Patrick (~Patrick@00045A247574.msns.sm.ptd.net) has joined #techshow Jun 09 20:44:22 --> rjbs (~rjbs@cheshirecat.manxome.org) has joined #techshow Jun 09 20:44:28 --> dann (~dann@192.168.0.100) has joined #techshow Jun 09 20:44:34 hoo ha. Hello all Jun 09 20:44:56 Hi Dann Jun 09 20:44:57 *buuuurrrrp*.. Jun 09 20:45:00 No topic? Jeez. Jun 09 20:46:10 That's the way we like it. Jun 09 20:46:25 You forgot the "uh-huh uh-huh." Jun 09 20:46:31 we dont know what we are going to say until after it happens :-) Jun 09 20:47:04 well, who says a topic has to be on point? Jun 09 20:47:05 --> allan (1000@192.168.0.190) has joined #techshow Jun 09 20:47:06 I figured you would add that in. Jun 09 20:47:09 As my backup of course. Jun 09 20:47:14 right Jun 09 20:47:20 /topic WHO WANTS FUDGE? Jun 09 20:47:28 Did I get here just in time for something, or something? Everybody's joining... Jun 09 20:47:52 well it's about that time. And allan already had his fudge. Jun 09 20:47:58 Now he has fudgy fingers. Jun 09 20:48:02 * rjbs just had a Ben and Jerry's chipwich. Man that was good. Jun 09 20:48:44 * graeme64 in UK wonders what a chipwich is Jun 09 20:49:04 Not fudge. Milky way Jun 09 20:49:26 graeme64: ice cream between too cookies Jun 09 20:49:30 Er. Two. Jun 09 20:49:34 Wow, how did that get through? Jun 09 20:49:45 Chipwich is icecream between chock chip cookies - one of the things that makes america great :-) Jun 09 20:49:53 Hmm never tried that before Jun 09 20:49:56 It's faboo. Jun 09 20:50:08 graeme64: You'd probably want to pervert it with brown sauce or something. Jun 09 20:50:11 graeme64: Where in .uk are you? Jun 09 20:50:37 http://www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavor_details.cfm?product_id=136 Jun 09 20:50:38 Here in scotland we like our food deep-fried - I wonder if you can deep fry icecream/ Jun 09 20:50:46 If you're careful. Jun 09 20:51:02 Easier to deep fry the Milky Way. Jun 09 20:51:09 I'm in East Kilbride just outside Glasgow Jun 09 20:51:10 yes you can and deep fried icecream is fantastic. Trust me, I am a fat man :-) Jun 09 20:51:21 Too late for that :) Jun 09 20:51:39 Deep fried mars bars are very popular here :) Jun 09 20:51:55 now that sounds good! Jun 09 20:51:57 graeme64: I need to get to Scotland on my next trip to .uk; I know much of your frying habits. Jun 09 20:52:07 I couldn't find a #$@#ing scotch egg anywhere in Wales. :( Jun 09 20:52:31 What is a scotch egg? Jun 09 20:52:45 Hardboiled egg, rolled in sausage, fried. Jun 09 20:53:02 crotch egg, that sounds right up linc's alley. Jun 09 20:53:21 I can feel my arteries closing up. Sounds good! Jun 09 20:53:25 scotch egg: http://www.deliaonline.com/picturelibrary%5Cjpeg230/cc/cc411-scotch-eggs101.jpg Jun 09 20:53:26 I've been trying to find deep fried mars bars around here. Used to have them all over the fairs and such two years ago. Haven't seen them since. Jun 09 20:53:27 now now, thats crotch rott, a nd that's your department dann Jun 09 20:54:04 Should be easy enough to make your own dann Jun 09 20:54:45 sourceforge-- Jun 09 20:54:48 Yeah, but then that would mean making more than one. Breaking out all that equipment for just one deep fried mars bar is overkill. And if I make more than one, well then I'd gorge myself. Jun 09 20:55:38 True... but maybe a nice addition to the menu next time you have a BBQ Jun 09 20:55:48 --> linc_ (~linc@pool-151-197-55-135.phil.east.verizon.net) has joined #techshow Jun 09 20:56:03 --- linc_ is now known as michele Jun 09 20:57:42 BBQ mars bars. I wonder how that would work out? Jun 09 20:57:44 --> brian (~brian@207-172-234-156.c3-0.eas-ubr6.atw-eas.pa.cable.rcn.com) has joined #techshow Jun 09 20:58:10 Very messy I think!! Jun 09 20:58:13 sounds awful. Jun 09 20:58:20 especially if you use a dry rub. Jun 09 20:59:17 And wrap bacon around it. Everything is better with bacon wrapped around it. Jun 09 20:59:29 Especially cigarettes. Jun 09 20:59:45 Put it on a stick with an onion on either side and that makes for a nice ka-bob. Jun 09 20:59:49 mars-ka-bob. Jun 09 20:59:51 A bacon cigarette? I am in love! Jun 09 21:00:13 Allan kicked the dog out again. Jun 09 21:00:39 bastard. Jun 09 21:00:43 here we go....!

Jun 09 21:08:24 --> USSROVER (~na@kwis-clarion-118.kalnet.com) has joined #techshow Jun 09 21:08:30 It's basically XFree86, just forked right? Jun 09 21:08:53 yup, download the packages with swaret, remove all your old xfree packages, installpkg all the x11 packages. Really easy. Jun 09 21:09:39 what about copying the config file? Jun 09 21:10:21 --> pablo7 (~paul@65.3.177.177) has joined #techshow Jun 09 21:11:09 nope. You might wasn to save XF86Config for reference. The config file is xorg.conf. Same layour. Jun 09 21:11:43 I basically edited the xorg.conf file to match my XF86Config file and all was well with the world. No problem installing the Nvidia Drivers either. Jun 09 21:12:14 cool Jun 09 21:12:28 I'll put it my list of things to do Jun 09 21:12:56 behind compiling 2.6.6 to add video4linux Jun 09 21:13:00 You should do it right now!

Donate so I can afford this luxury toilet and spare everyone any further horror stories about my underwear. Jun 09 21:41:18 <-- pablo7 (~paul@65.3.177.177) has left #techshow Jun 09 21:41:45 Hey what was that song called again? :) Jun 09 21:42:14 --> USSROVER (~na@kwis-clarion-118.kalnet.com) has joined #techshow Jun 09 21:43:13 emenation by derelict Jun 09 21:43:21 you heard it on the linux link tech show. Jun 09 21:43:28 cause you're listening to the linux link tech show. Jun 09 21:43:38 Right now it is the linux link tech show you are listening too. Jun 09 21:43:40 What's the show called again? Jun 09 21:43:44 <-- USSROVER has quit () Jun 09 21:43:54 That was emenation by derelict. It was played on the break of the linux link tech show. Jun 09 21:44:30 --> USSROVER (~na@kwis-clarion-118.kalnet.com) has joined #techshow Jun 09 21:46:47 fedora core 2 bah Jun 09 21:47:01 didn't like my hardware Jun 09 21:47:28 any of the four video cards I tried Jun 09 21:48:16 Fedora needs major amount of memory for a gui install - about 192Mb I think Jun 09 21:48:31 have 256 Jun 09 21:48:33 I can't get it on my laptop for that reason Jun 09 21:48:38 Brian Fedora found all my equipment I have on my system no problem ( but I'm running older equipment) Jun 09 21:48:44 192MB? I hope that was a typo. Jun 09 21:48:44 the last RH I installed was 6.1 Jun 09 21:48:48 You all want to use SLACKWARE! Jun 09 21:48:55 mine's older too Jun 09 21:48:56 Fedora is for woosies! Jun 09 21:49:04 what's the deal with the phone hybrid?? Jun 09 21:49:20 How can a gui install use that much memory? That's totally unacceptable. Jun 09 21:49:31 I just did a ftp install of SUSE 9.1 onto my laptop - took about 12 hours to complete! Jun 09 21:49:31 We're waiting for Mark to finish the hybrid. Jun 09 21:49:51 I think RedHat 9.1 was the same Jun 09 21:50:06 12 hours? If you installed Gentoo I'd be done compiling the base system by Sunday :) Jun 09 21:50:08 .. 192Mb install i mean Jun 09 21:50:14 it was the same machine/hardware than ran fc2 too Jun 09 21:50:20 fc1 I mean Jun 09 21:50:35 I nearly melted my laptop installing Gentoo - over 7 days! Jun 09 21:50:54 my 800mhz took about 3 days Jun 09 21:51:21 Well I can seriously doubt 192MB of memory used. I think someone would notice something is seriously wrong there. Jun 09 21:51:26 Ancient HP Omnibook - 500MHz K^-II Proc Jun 09 21:51:30 i keep losing the stream. anyone else having the same problem> Jun 09 21:51:33 "? Jun 09 21:51:51 no what player are you using ??? Jun 09 21:51:56 xmms Jun 09 21:52:12 but, it could me me. I'm on a wireless laptop Jun 09 21:52:20 on a windows machine using WinAMP solid here Jun 09 21:52:52 winamp is similar to xmms Jun 09 21:53:03 it has video support but it's not that great Jun 09 21:53:06 you have a cable modem brian? Jun 09 21:53:11 probably me then Jun 09 21:53:21 cable, yes Jun 09 21:53:54 Working fine on my crap dialup. Jun 09 21:53:55 That seems to have an impact, cable isp. Why? I do not know, but other shows have reported this too. Jun 09 21:55:14 Jamesl check out http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/ for installation memory requirements for Fedora Core 2 - interesting! Jun 09 21:55:16 never had a problem before. Now that it;s warm I usually sit on my porch with my laptop and listen Jun 09 21:55:38 that's because cable bandwidth decrease as more users in your neighborhood sign on Jun 09 21:56:02 or apple Jun 09 21:56:04 I know that. Jun 09 21:56:48 dunno how many people have it near me Jun 09 21:57:22 anyone try those old school game controllers/joysticks with atari2600 games? Jun 09 21:57:34 you just plug it into the tv and play Jun 09 21:57:49 yup, I have the pacman one with digdug and rallyx Jun 09 21:57:59 any good? Jun 09 21:58:15 those the joystick break after a month like the old atari joysticks? Jun 09 21:58:34 Digdug is a bit borked, only has one level. Other than that it is great. The only downside is that you can get all this through mame. Jun 09 21:58:45 Maybe not legally, but you can still get them. Jun 09 21:59:13 It's kinda cool to play it through the tv Jun 09 21:59:20 The one I have is the Namco games, not the 2600. They are the arcade versions. Jun 09 21:59:31 Oh yeah, it is. Jun 09 21:59:33 what does have 5 games? Jun 09 22:00:03 Pacman, Rally-X, DigDug, Galaga, and Bosonian. Jun 09 22:00:12 cool galaga Jun 09 22:00:46 it took me 4 hours to get my hauppauge card going in win98 Jun 09 22:00:59 gonna try it in linux soon Jun 09 22:01:00 did it work then? Jun 09 22:01:18 Linux will take you 8 hours, right? What's the chipset? BT878? Jun 09 22:01:20 It's an old OS, I wouldn't expect miracles. Jun 09 22:01:21 No problem. Jun 09 22:01:28 yes it works, i had download all the latest versions of the drivers and apps Jun 09 22:01:40 the card is the newe chipset supported by the ivtv driver Jun 09 22:01:52 supposedly it works Jun 09 22:02:00 I'll let you know how it goes Jun 09 22:04:56 no f bomb!
