13:20.06 | IAmAI | I've just read someone say that Vista will be based on UNIX. |
13:21.14 | IAmAI | I've also read someon say it will be 'modelled' on UNIX i.e. 'admin' accounts and 'user' accounts. |
13:21.27 | IAmAI | Which can be done in XP, but is slightly problamatic, so no one does it :P |
13:21.31 | Erwin | my cousin's brother's college roommate has confirmed that. He had lunch with an intern at Microsoft last week. |
13:21.52 | IAmAI | Which? Is based on, or modelled on? |
13:22.06 | IAmAI | I do hope they're getting rid of drive letters - they're really old hat now. |
13:22.59 | Erwin | He said that this year, there will be a amazing user friendly operating system based on UNIX and running on Intel chips. |
13:23.01 | morsing | *sigh* |
13:23.44 | IAmAI | I kinda had the idea of multiple roots. For example, instead of C:\Windows\System32 you would have Windows:\System32 (or whatever). |
13:24.27 | IAmAI | Or Instead of 'C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Music', you would have 'Documents:\My Music'. |
13:25.03 | Cope | if you look at xp internals its massively influenced by commercial unixes |
13:25.17 | IAmAI | So kinda similar to drive letters, except it's more than one character. Not quite like Unix, but I would be suprised if Microsoft did a file system exactly like Unix. |
13:25.31 | Erwin | While as if you start up a KDE session it is clear that the developers were guided by a higher, divine entity. |
13:25.41 | Cope | and win2k3 |
13:25.42 | IAmAI | I expect Microsoft like their backslashes :D |
13:27.20 | IAmAI | Can only recommend an ISP? |

13:38.02 | IAmAI | Eeeew. Not AOL :P |
13:40.55 | kbsingh | I use Zen, plusnet, nildram and aaisp |
13:41.01 | Cope | IAmAI: define ISP - what do you want to do? |
13:41.31 | IAmAI | Internet Service Provier |
13:41.34 | IAmAI | *Provider |
13:41.37 | IAmAI | I want a monthly contract and I want to play online games. |
13:41.39 | IAmAI | :P |

13:46.03 | Cope | IAmAI: I am aware of the acronymn; I was unaware of what you understood by it. If you meant ADSL provider, then you should have said so. |
13:46.18 | IAmAI | Er... Yes sorry. |

14:15.31 | Erwin | You mean if you were her you wouldn't let the spider go? |
14:15.54 | morsing | Erwin: I wouldn't have slept with the spider in the first place! |
14:19.57 | wethrin | ooh :) |
14:20.44 | morsing | Cope: Was she a spider? |
14:20.55 | Cope | now, but she was very skinny |
14:20.58 | Cope | (yum) |
14:30.33 | IAmAI | Why would I spider want to live in an ear? |
14:52.25 | morsing | How is the FAT filesystem "novel and non-obvious"?! |
15:01.22 | wethrin | ISTR that the patent only applied to media that was pre-formatted with FAT for embedded use |
15:01.26 | wethrin | *not* to the filesystem in general |
15:01.47 | morsing | ibot ISTR |
15:01.48 | ibot | methinks istr is I'm So Totally Retarded (I can't remember what ISTR stands for) |
15:02.31 | morsing | wethrin: And that is non-trivial? |
15:09.29 | wethrin | ISTR = I Seem To Remember |
15:09.51 | wethrin | morsing: Well, no, but the patent is a much more limited scope than purely FAT |

17:32.49 | Erwin | I wouldn't quit until you have a signed contract. |
17:36.50 | Erwin | When is it? I paid something like 50 for a seat where I was served dinner & champagne, ordering a month ahead :-) |
17:37.46 | wethrin | Bastard :-P |
17:37.53 | wethrin | last weekend in february |
17:39.29 | Erwin | value fare is about 30 ukp each way? that's the champagne-less carriages though :-) |
17:40.23 | wethrin | Err. How? |
17:40.46 | wethrin | I've just checked, and outbound 10.43 on the Friday the cheapest is £64.50; return cheapest is £49.50 |
17:41.33 | Erwin | well, it's on the 25-26th, sat & sun? |
17:42.17 | Erwin | the 06:26 on the 25th is 29.50 |
17:42.28 | wethrin | Right. Now, there's some problems with that |
17:42.40 | wethrin | 1. Coming from Durham, I won't be able to get to Waterloo for 05.30 |
17:42.49 | wethrin | 2. Even if I come from home, I won't be able to get to Waterloo for 05.30 |
17:42.56 | wethrin | 3. The Friday night pub is rather important |
17:43.31 | Erwin | the 08:39 is 39.50 |
17:44.03 | wethrin | On Friday? |
17:44.19 | Erwin | the 07:43 is 29.50. On Friday. |
17:44.37 | Erwin | I guess they also use the airline system of varying ticket prices.. |
17:45.18 | wethrin | Yes, but 0839 is still rather early. Mean we need to be there before 0800, and so leaving home before 7am |
17:48.55 | Erwin | Hmm. BA flies for 83.50. But planes are a horrible hassle compared to the Eurostar. |
17:50.30 | wethrin | Depends where you're coming from |
17:50.40 | wethrin | And I got one for £78.50 |
17:51.24 | Erwin | From Durham City Airport? :-) |
17:51.48 | wethrin | LHR |
17:51.50 | wethrin | :) |
17:51.58 | wethrin | I can fly from NCL for £138 |
17:52.59 | Erwin | OK, there's 290 miles from Durham to Waterloo |
17:53.20 | Erwin | By the time you get to Waterloo the Eurostar will be leaving from King's Cross |
17:54.17 | wethrin | Emm |
17:54.18 | wethrin | *Umm |
17:54.24 | wethrin | Other way around |
17:55.00 | Erwin | No, they are moving the Eurostar station to King's Cross/St Pancreas :) |
17:55.29 | wethrin | Yes, but not for another year or so :0 |
17:55.38 | wethrin | Anyway, coming from Durham, I get into Kings X, not Waterloo |

13:20.06 | IAmAI | I've just read someone say that Vista will be based on UNIX. |
13:21.14 | IAmAI | I've also read someon say it will be 'modelled' on UNIX i.e. 'admin' accounts and 'user' accounts. |
13:21.27 | IAmAI | Which can be done in XP, but is slightly problamatic, so no one does it :P |
13:21.31 | Erwin | my cousin's brother's college roommate has confirmed that. He had lunch with an intern at Microsoft last week. |
13:21.52 | IAmAI | Which? Is based on, or modelled on? |
13:22.06 | IAmAI | I do hope they're getting rid of drive letters - they're really old hat now. |
13:22.59 | Erwin | He said that this year, there will be a amazing user friendly operating system based on UNIX and running on Intel chips. |
13:23.01 | morsing | *sigh* |
13:23.44 | IAmAI | I kinda had the idea of multiple roots. For example, instead of C:\Windows\System32 you would have Windows:\System32 (or whatever). |
13:24.27 | IAmAI | Or Instead of 'C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Music', you would have 'Documents:\My Music'. |
13:25.03 | Cope | if you look at xp internals its massively influenced by commercial unixes |
13:25.17 | IAmAI | So kinda similar to drive letters, except it's more than one character. Not quite like Unix, but I would be suprised if Microsoft did a file system exactly like Unix. |
13:25.31 | Erwin | While as if you start up a KDE session it is clear that the developers were guided by a higher, divine entity. |
13:25.41 | Cope | and win2k3 |
13:25.42 | IAmAI | I expect Microsoft like their backslashes :D |
13:27.20 | IAmAI | Can only recommend an ISP? |
13:30.11 | IAmAI | *anyone |
13:30.18 | IAmAI | :$ |
13:30.24 | IAmAI | Can anyone recommend an ISP? |
13:30.43 | morsing | UKFSN if you're brave |
13:30.51 | morsing | PlusNet is very good! |
13:32.54 | IAmAI | Anyone charge no connection free at all? |
13:37.41 | kbsingh | AOL ? |
13:38.02 | IAmAI | Eeeew. Not AOL :P |
13:40.55 | kbsingh | I use Zen, plusnet, nildram and aaisp |
13:41.01 | Cope | IAmAI: define ISP - what do you want to do? |
13:41.31 | IAmAI | Internet Service Provier |
13:41.34 | IAmAI | *Provider |
13:41.37 | IAmAI | I want a monthly contract and I want to play online games. |
13:41.39 | IAmAI | :P |
13:41.46 | IAmAI | And I want no, or a high cap. |
13:41.49 | kbsingh | they are all about the same in the long run. aaisp has the best network as far as I am concerned, and ipv6 helps:) |
13:41.55 | IAmAI | Cos I may want to download stuff. |
13:42.24 | IAmAI | If anyone has lower than average connection charges, I'm for that :P |
13:43.06 | kbsingh | IAmAI, adslguide.org.uk |
13:46.03 | Cope | IAmAI: I am aware of the acronymn; I was unaware of what you understood by it. If you meant ADSL provider, then you should have said so. |
13:46.18 | IAmAI | Er... Yes sorry. |
13:47.34 | Cope | ;) |
14:13.12 | Cope | hello morsing |

14:15.31 | Erwin | You mean if you were her you wouldn't let the spider go? |
14:15.54 | morsing | Erwin: I wouldn't have slept with the spider in the first place! |
14:19.57 | wethrin | ooh :) |
14:20.44 | morsing | Cope: Was she a spider? |
14:20.55 | Cope | now, but she was very skinny |
14:20.58 | Cope | (yum) |
14:30.33 | IAmAI | Why would I spider want to live in an ear? |
14:52.25 | morsing | How is the FAT filesystem "novel and non-obvious"?! |
15:01.22 | wethrin | ISTR that the patent only applied to media that was pre-formatted with FAT for embedded use |
15:01.26 | wethrin | *not* to the filesystem in general |
15:01.47 | morsing | ibot ISTR |
15:01.48 | ibot | methinks istr is I'm So Totally Retarded (I can't remember what ISTR stands for) |
15:02.31 | morsing | wethrin: And that is non-trivial? |
15:09.29 | wethrin | ISTR = I Seem To Remember |
15:09.51 | wethrin | morsing: Well, no, but the patent is a much more limited scope than purely FAT |
15:11.52 | morsing | Yay - Lonon.pm announced |
15:11.56 | morsing | LoDon |
15:12.20 | morsing | wethrin: You coming? |
15:12.27 | wethrin | No |

15:12.33 | wethrin | It's Croydon.pm |
15:13.38 | morsing | Is it? |
15:13.43 | morsing | I'm not good at speed reading! |
15:13.55 | morsing | Where's Croydon then? Near Durham? |
15:14.06 | wethrin | Almost, but the other side of the river |
15:14.11 | wethrin | Trains from Victoria should go there |

15:15.54 | wethrin | Not on this channel. |

17:20.44 | stephen | you say that as if it's a bad thing |
17:21.00 | Erwin | Do first things things, and second things never. |
17:23.18 | morsing | wethrin: Despite my contract (which I think says three months) what does the law say? |
17:23.27 | morsing | Is it 1 month? |

17:25.12 | morsing | Does anyone know? |
17:25.19 | George | hi |
17:25.30 | andrew | IANAL but if your contract says 3 months it is 3 months |
17:26.36 | morsing | andrew: No - law says something liek one month so the contract isn't valid |
17:30.09 | andrew | OK - I declare my ignorance on this. Have you found another job? |
17:30.32 | morsing | andrew: Yes |
17:30.52 | andrew | Congrats |
17:31.44 | morsing | Thanks |
17:32.00 | morsing | Well, I haven't been offered the job yet but it's 95% |
17:32.23 | *** part/#gllug morsing (n=morsing@emil.morsing.cc) |
17:32.49 | Erwin | I wouldn't quit until you have a signed contract. |
17:36.50 | Erwin | When is it? I paid something like 50 for a seat where I was served dinner & champagne, ordering a month ahead :-) |
17:37.46 | wethrin | Bastard :-P |
17:37.53 | wethrin | last weekend in february |
17:39.29 | Erwin | value fare is about 30 ukp each way? that's the champagne-less carriages though :-) |
17:40.23 | wethrin | Err. How? |
17:40.46 | wethrin | I've just checked, and outbound 10.43 on the Friday the cheapest is £64.50; return cheapest is £49.50 |
17:41.33 | Erwin | well, it's on the 25-26th, sat & sun? |
17:42.17 | Erwin | the 06:26 on the 25th is 29.50 |
17:42.28 | wethrin | Right. Now, there's some problems with that |
17:42.40 | wethrin | 1. Coming from Durham, I won't be able to get to Waterloo for 05.30 |
17:42.49 | wethrin | 2. Even if I come from home, I won't be able to get to Waterloo for 05.30 |
17:42.56 | wethrin | 3. The Friday night pub is rather important |
17:43.31 | Erwin | the 08:39 is 39.50 |
17:44.03 | wethrin | On Friday? |
17:44.19 | Erwin | the 07:43 is 29.50. On Friday. |
17:44.37 | Erwin | I guess they also use the airline system of varying ticket prices.. |
17:45.18 | wethrin | Yes, but 0839 is still rather early. Mean we need to be there before 0800, and so leaving home before 7am |
17:48.55 | Erwin | Hmm. BA flies for 83.50. But planes are a horrible hassle compared to the Eurostar. |
17:50.30 | wethrin | Depends where you're coming from |
17:50.40 | wethrin | And I got one for £78.50 |
17:51.24 | Erwin | From Durham City Airport? :-) |
17:51.48 | wethrin | LHR |
17:51.50 | wethrin | :) |
17:51.58 | wethrin | I can fly from NCL for £138 |
17:52.59 | Erwin | OK, there's 290 miles from Durham to Waterloo |
17:53.20 | Erwin | By the time you get to Waterloo the Eurostar will be leaving from King's Cross |
17:54.17 | wethrin | Emm |
17:54.18 | wethrin | *Umm |
17:54.24 | wethrin | Other way around |
17:55.00 | Erwin | No, they are moving the Eurostar station to King's Cross/St Pancreas :) |
17:55.29 | wethrin | Yes, but not for another year or so :0 |
17:55.38 | wethrin | Anyway, coming from Durham, I get into Kings X, not Waterloo |

20:45.03 | wethrin | Yes, but at that cancellation charge? |
20:45.19 | Erwin | Well, I plan to show up. But I think that it's too bookd for me to get a table just a month away |
20:46.09 | wethrin | hm. Go to Patara instead :) |
20:47.18 | Erwin | Is that a good Thai restaurant? My girlfriend likes to eat/cook Thai food, I prefer snobbish French cuisine :-) |
20:48.15 | wethrin | It's a fantastic Thai restaurant |
20:48.18 | wethrin | morsing: You've been there |
