10:27.37ShaiLeeds, it's the cheapest I could find.
10:27.49LeedsShai: get a board with an on-board CPU - cheaper...
10:27.56JDhttp://www.ecs.com.tw/products/pd_spec.asp?product_id=194
10:28.00ShaiI don't think we got those around ...
10:28.10JDShai: ship it
10:28.16Shaimoney.
10:28.32LeedsShai: name a big computer place in Israel... with a website...
10:28.39JDUK to .il can't be that much
10:28.45JDis it .il?
10:28.51JDir is?
10:28.52ShaiWhen I first started using Linux, I was told not to use SIS with anything that has to do with Linux.
10:28.58JDor .is
10:29.03Shaiyes .. .il .. Israel
10:30.10ShaiECS are considered good? They are not considered good in Israel.
10:30.26JDShai: they wrk here
10:30.40ShaiMaybe it's all to do with Windows then ...
10:31.04ShaiBut I won't get the same warrenty I would when buying Intel.
10:31.34LeedsShai: does that really worry you?
10:31.45JDwhat warrenty is that?
10:31.45Shaihmm .. should anything go wrong...
10:32.00JDShai: then you take it back to where you got it form
10:32.01LeedsI've never used a warranty for that kind of thing - I've taken stuff back to a shop when it was DOA, but apart from that...
10:32.13ShaiWith Intel, I'd get a 3 year warrenty for the board, that includes the NIC, Audio and Video.
10:32.22ShaiI'm gonna get just 1 year with ECS.
10:32.52JDand you will pay over the odds for intel board etc
10:33.06Shaiwhat odds?
10:33.29LeedsShai: see http://www.viaarena.com/Default.asp?PageID=254&Country=240&Products=any&submitted=submitted for mini-itx resellers who ship to .il - including one wholesaler in Rishon... who could probably tell you where to buy locally
10:33.35JDfigure of speech. you will pay more for intel
10:33.51LeedsShai: "over the odds" means more than usual or more than it's worth
10:34.00ShaiI get an Intel D845GLAD (NIC+Video+Audio) + Celeron 1.8ghz for just US$170

10:37.30Leedsit used to, after it became a blootbot
10:37.35Leedsanyway...
10:38.05LeedsShai: so if you're going to spend about 1000 NIS on the board and CPU, you can get case/RAM/HDD for 700 NIS?
10:38.14ShaiI get the Intel mobo, 512mb DDR266, Case, 1.44 floppy, GF2 Video Card, Cd-Rom drive = 1700NIS.
10:38.23Leedsno hard drive?

10:39.03Shaisorry ...
10:39.31Leedsnot including HDD, I could build a mini-itx machine for under 200 GBP... under 1500 NIS
10:39.52Shaithat's just about the same price as my Intel...
10:40.04Shaiand with Intel I get all the other onboard things ...
10:40.17ShaiI just want to know that they will work in Linux before I buy them.
10:40.40ShaiI'm good for the cash, just need to make sure they are working under Linux.
10:40.40Leedsmini-itx has everything on-board... and they're small cute machines - Michal will thank me :-)
10:40.49ShaiLOL

10:46.42Leedsit's not an Intel Pro/100
10:46.46Leedsthat's a PCI card
10:47.01Leedsit's a chip which is, allegedly, compatible with a Pro/100 card

10:47.52ShaiLeeds: Donald Becker?
10:47.55Leedsibot breadbox
10:47.56breadbox is probably smaller than a large breadbox but larger than a small breadbox.  Some people keep bread in a breadbox, others get thousands of loaves of bread and make a box out of them in which they sleep until the bread goes mouldy then they need to call the council to condemn it but instead of condemning it they put you away in a box not made of bread but they do get the bread which they then feed you from a box which might just

13:55.19JDhmm I should know that
13:55.37Leedsprobably the easiest for me to get to... Northern Line...
13:55.47JDI've driven past the thing several times while trying to servey the area before deciding the best way to leave london
13:55.59JD(read lost)
13:56.46Leedsmy impression of the Science museum is that it's very kid-oriented... but maybe that's because I last visited about 18 years ago, I think
13:57.20Leedsit's also partly because I enjoyed being a tourist in Sydney and doing stuff like this... and again on the "it's on my doorstop"
13:58.06LeedsI don't tend to drive around central London at all... just train and occasionally bus
14:00.27JDLeeds: I enjoyed the powerhouse, but we went a bit too late and didn;t really have time to look at everything
14:00.56LeedsI rushed it a bit too... it was my penultimate day there... so I didn't look at everything
14:04.53JDI think we had done the aquarium and the russian space shuttle and then went to do the powerhouse
14:05.12JDiirc we dis a darling harbour tour
14:05.23JDwe didn;t get to the maritime museam
14:05.45JDI want to go back next January
14:06.14Leedsrussian space shuttle???
14:06.20JDstart at sydney for a few days, travel down to canberra, melbourne and then finally to adelade for LCA 2004
14:06.32JDLeeds: yep they have one in darling harbour
14:06.35Leedsmaritime museum was good... with a decent free tour
14:06.37JDI wouldn;t bother going to see it again
14:06.45Leedsdidn't see a space shuttle in darling harbour...
14:06.52JDwaste of a good afternoon and 20AUD

14:28.47highburyleeds I have a shell redirection question. I need to have a script send its stdout and stderr to a file but also to get stderr to be displayed on the screen, I know its some complicated "exec 9>&2" thingy, but can't quite get it right
14:28.48Leedsyup
14:29.04Leedshighbury: that's always confused me...
14:29.14JDhighbury: I'm not sure that is possible
14:29.27Leedshighbury: I think what you need to do is send stdout to a file, then copy stderr to stdout, then tee stdout
14:29.34Leedsif you can do that...
14:29.38JDthat could work

14:30.53highburyI need stdout going to one file, stderr to another, yet keep stderr also going to screen

14:32.44Leedsskugg: exactly the kind of thing I was thinking
14:32.54highburyit has to be done in standard bourne or Ksh
14:33.03skuggLeeds, does it sound like bloat to you? :D
14:33.17Leedshighbury: write your own...
14:35.16Leedshmmm... so < /dev/stderr would make a process read from its own stderr?
14:35.37JDer probably
14:36.50JDparguild020 david% cat /proc/self/fd/1
14:36.57JDdoesn't work sadly

21:42.39highburyI thought they managed to pack in lots of stuff, and references to studd they had to leave out
21:42.41JDwell yeah
21:42.51highburyto come back as Phoenix?
21:42.58JDpretty much gives that clue away
21:43.14JDwhatstuff did they leave out?
21:43.38highburythey nicely hinted as much, but I'm not sure how far they can go with the Dark Phoenix scenario
21:44.01highburyHank McCoy gets a fleeting appearance
21:44.14JDHank?
21:44.21JDis that pyro?
21:44.25highburyThe Beast
21:44.36JD?
21:44.48highburythe guy who's blue super-intelligent guy in the cartoons
21:45.10highburythe main thing, is did non-comic geeks enjoy it?
21:45.20highburyblue -and furry
21:45.29JDI went with my e
21:45.34highburyI enjoyed it as an ex-comic geek
21:45.34JDshe seemed to enjoy it
21:45.38JDmy ex
21:46.58JDthere is the blue thing at the start
21:47.02JDnightcrawler
21:47.15JDand  a couple of references to ShadowCat?
21:47.41cupisJD: nightcrawler was in the whole film
21:48.00JDI should learn peoples name and not just watch Evlolutions
21:48.21JDcupis: I know
21:48.32JDthere was the metal bloke
21:48.55JDwho is that?
21:49.45JDis there a list of characters anywhere?
21:50.57cupisweb site?
21:51.17JDyeah
21:53.19zacharyI'm off to bed, good night
21:53.31JDhmmm this all seems confusing
21:53.41JD[21:59] <Jenson> im busy flirtingansd checking out tom lok
21:53.47JDoops
21:54.02JDbloody windows cutnpaste
21:54.16JDPhoenix is a code name taken by at least two featured characters in X-Men titles.
21:54.19JDJean Grey-Summers is a currently active team member of the X-Men. She is a powerful telekinetic and psi talent.
21:54.22JDRachel Summers, her daughter in an altered timeline, is also often called Phoenix II and has similar superpowers.
21:54.25JDAnother entity took the form of Jean Grey and codename of Phoenix for a time and later became Dark Phoenix.
21:54.36JDso that is 3 people called phoniex?
21:54.52JDhow are people meant to follow this?
21:55.05cupisthey should rename pheonix to thunderbird
21:55.18cupis?
21:55.49JDso what happened to sabretooth in the new film?
21:55.53JDand the toad thing
21:56.16JDI can only assume they couldn;t get the actors
21:56.50cupisThey weren't showwn as dying, but they also were not shown as surviving the first film after the Liberty scene
21:57.21cupisOnly Magneto and that blue shapeshifter were shown as surviving.
21:58.40JDnihtcrawler was not furry in the film
21:59.27cupisperhaps a reference to the sfx when he teleported?
22:00.05JD?
22:00.16JDnightcrawler is clearly meant ot be furry
22:00.22JDbe he wasn;t in the film
22:00.36JDjust blue skinned with what I assume are scars
22:00.50cupisSeemed like he tatooed himself or something.
22:01.03cupis"one for every sin, so quite a lot"
22:01.35JDyeah
22:01.48JDbut they seemed to be raised which i why I thought scars
22:02.06cupiscould have been tatoos, scars, burns etc...
22:03.52JDthe steel bloke was colossus
22:04.02JDcould have more about him in the film
22:05.43JDthe nightcrawler scene at the start was rather cool
22:06.17cupisI think they probably wanted to minmise "new" characters this time round. Plenty of thime for them in "X-Men 17: The new generation" etc
22:07.07JDlike who is cable?
22:07.14cupisJD: why?
22:07.36JDI feel I'm missing out
22:08.26JDI donlt remember Jubilee, Siryn, beast or Gambit
22:20.12JDgrrr all these sites on geocities with a quota
22:40.56JDokay the X-men are way too confusing
