02:01.23 | LeedsHK | how's life? |
02:03.22 | LeedsHK | so, at 2am on Tuesday, there was a brief power cut in my building... my main PC, which I leave on all the time at the moment, rebooted... |
02:03.51 | LeedsHK | my router appears to have rebooted yesterday... |
02:04.06 | LeedsHK | my Mac mini, which is also on all the time, appears to have stayed up through the power outage... |
02:14.42 | JAV | hello |
02:15.53 | JAV | I'm trying to understand the way amazon.uk.co calculates VAT |
02:16.17 | Erwin | There's no VAT on books -- in UK |
02:16.50 | Erwin | Generally if shipping to a EU country, a company must charge the VAT of that country if it sells over 100,000 euro or so a year to it |
02:17.09 | JAV | I just saw it, I thought it was 17.5 |
02:17.28 | Erwin | If under, then you as a citizen have a duty to pay the VAT yourself -- that's why as a non-Brit you can buy some books cheap if using a sufficiently obscure shop, i.e. not amazon |
02:17.40 | Erwin | well, you would pay the Spanish (?) VAt |
02:18.06 | JAV | that's what amazon says.... |
02:18.21 | JAV | Items: £8.24 |
02:18.21 | JAV | Postage & Packing: £4.98 |
02:18.21 | JAV | <PROTECTED> |
02:18.21 | JAV | Total before VAT: £13.22 |
02:18.21 | JAV | VAT:£0.53 |
02:18.33 | JAV | Total: 13.75 |
02:18.45 | Erwin | The VAT is probably on p&p only |
02:19.09 | LeedsHK | what is VAT in Spain? |
02:19.10 | Erwin | Or maybe just the packaging part |
02:19.16 | JAV | 16% in spain |
02:19.45 | LeedsHK | so I see... |
02:20.16 | LeedsHK | IVA |
02:20.58 | JAV | yes |
02:21.04 | Erwin | http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/502578/ref%3Dcs_hd_lp_1/203-7462720-3790354 |
02:21.09 | Erwin | Claims Spain has 4% vat on books |
02:21.24 | LeedsHK | yup |
02:21.43 | LeedsHK | which would come to 0.53GBP including the P&P |
02:21.43 | Erwin | >>> print 13.22*.04 |
02:21.46 | Erwin | 0.5288 |
02:22.13 | LeedsHK | Erwin: you don't need the print in the interpreter :-) |
02:23.09 | JAV | ok, now I understand! It's 3:23 here |
02:23.27 | Erwin | It's 02:23 here, that's why. |
02:24.15 | JAV | I read that VAT table several times XD |
02:24.17 | LeedsHK | 1023 here... |
02:24.34 | LeedsHK | oh, and 0% VAT here too... |
02:25.14 | JAV | so 4% shipping too? |
02:26.35 | LeedsHK | I guess either it should be 16% for the shipping but they're being nice, or it's something like if the order only contains goods taxed at 4%, the shipping is also 4% |

10:03.02 | stephanb2 | btw i solved all my fc4 problems by removing an exotic firewire pci from my box :-) |
10:03.47 | stephanb2 | i thought doing rmmod of all the iee1394 modules would achieve the same result. but obviously it didnt |
10:06.52 | kbsingh | stephanb2, blacklist them ? |
10:08.25 | morsing | XPSlammer: Yes! |
10:08.26 | XPSlammer | i solve all fc4 problems by removing fc4 and using something that works and is supported properly instead. |
10:08.37 | stephanb2 | kbsingh: wdym blacklist ? add alias ieee1394 off to modules.conf ? |
10:08.59 | stephanb2 | XPSlammer: like OS/2 Warp ? |
10:09.09 | XPSlammer | stephanb2: close. |
10:11.04 | kbsingh | XPSlammer, windowsXP ? |
10:11.15 | XPSlammer | home edition, yes |
10:11.25 | kbsingh | humm... i should try my OS/2 media one of these days... |
10:11.35 | LeedsHK | XPSlammer: just use ubuntu - it just works |
10:11.58 | kbsingh | 'supported properly' and 'linux' in the same phrase pretty much narrows you down to either SuSe / Mandriva / RedHat |
10:12.18 | kbsingh | depending on who you speak to the 'supported properly' might not include 'properly' for them either |
10:13.08 | XPSlammer | kbsingh: errm, no, debian. |
10:13.19 | kbsingh | debian is supported ? |
10:13.24 | LeedsHK | by who? |
10:13.30 | kbsingh | progeny ? |
10:13.57 | stephanb2 | kbsingh: mandriva gave me a lot of irritation when it was called mandrake |
10:14.05 | XPSlammer | debian has been a community supported distro since day 1 |
10:14.13 | LeedsHK | stephanb2: there are creams for that sort of thing |
10:14.34 | XPSlammer | 10 years of continous support in exchange for no money |
10:14.38 | XPSlammer | I call that a pretty good deal |
10:14.43 | kbsingh | stephanb2, I've never really got onto the mandrake scene of things. but Connectiva had a good set of guys, and an ( imho ) excellent support setup |
10:14.56 | murb | what redhat + kde? |
10:14.57 | XPSlammer | over 15,000 officially supported packages, too. |
10:15.03 | kbsingh | unfortunately most of the good guys seem to have head off post-mandrake merger / takeover / whatever that was |
10:15.27 | stephanb2 | so <candid question> what is "wrong" with fedora ? |
10:15.39 | XPSlammer | it's unsupported clicky tosh |
10:15.47 | kbsingh | XPSlammer, new to linux ? |
10:16.00 | kbsingh | hrm |
10:16.03 | kbsingh | :) |
10:16.33 | kbsingh | stephanb2, once you've used it for a while - you come to the realisation that you run linux. the distro wars are just mostly fluff |
10:17.03 | kbsingh | use a few, settle in with whatever works for you ( in terms of file layout's - where the config's do - what the admin tools look like etc ) |
10:17.10 | SlayerXP | kbsingh: once you get to support a server room full of a few hundred production servers, you quickly realise why redhat's free offerings just don't cut the mustard |
10:17.12 | LeedsHK | hence my affection for slackware - it's the closest I've seen to 'bare' Linux |
10:17.20 | ranner | fedora is nice for a home machine if you use RHEL at work |
10:17.31 | kbsingh | SlayerXP, CentOS ? |
10:17.44 | stephanb2 | kbsingh: oh i agree with that 100%. that's why mandrake did my head in "why do thay put xxx in this yyy folder?" |
10:17.44 | SlayerXP | kbsingh: "unsupported clicky tosh" |
10:18.01 | SlayerXP | kbsingh: come back when it has 15,000 officially supported packages |
10:18.07 | kbsingh | SlayerXP, much better supported than debian is |
10:18.19 | kbsingh | the patch to market for security issues is more relaible and faster than debian is |
10:18.28 | SlayerXP | kbsingh: come back when it has 15,000 officially supported packages |
10:18.35 | kbsingh | plus, forcing upgrades to get security fix's in isnt really backend server room mindset |
10:18.42 | kbsingh | SlayerXP, thats bullshit |
10:18.47 | kbsingh | how many of the 15k do you use ? |
10:18.53 | SlayerXP | any of them I want to |
10:19.11 | kbsingh | I dont know a single 500 machine + install where there are more than a dozen real 'apps' in deployment - everthing around it is just OS layers |
10:19.12 | SlayerXP | knowing that none of them will break, and i'll always have a seamless upgrade path |
10:19.33 | kbsingh | anyway, rate of growth at this time says that gentoo is pretty much upto where most people want it to be |
10:19.46 | stephanb2 | SlayerXP: hold on dude, im not filling a server room. im filling a flat with "desktops". and doing pretty much with linux what M$ claims to do with it's "windoze media edition" |
10:19.52 | SlayerXP | kbsingh: if you think debian "forces upgrades", then you fundamentally misunderstand how debian works. |
10:20.07 | SlayerXP | stephanb2: so come back when you have some real world server room experience. |
10:20.17 | stephanb2 | except that with linux the tv card doesn't screw up dvd playback ;-) |
10:20.25 | kbsingh | SlayerXP, i dont see the xmlrpc php fix go into php-4.0.1 on debian - feel free to point it out to me |
10:21.01 | kbsingh | SlayerXP, i also done see 2.6.14+ libata sata drivers being ported back into 2.4 by anyone at debian |
10:21.03 | SlayerXP | kbsingh: bear with me a mo |
10:21.32 | LeedsHK | SlayerXP: get off your fucking high horse |

10:30.07 | mozrat | thanks :) |
10:30.33 | SlammerXP | gosh, I've been sent a zero day virus, i think |
10:31.30 | kbsingh | stephanb2, in /etc/modprobe.d/ |
10:31.57 | kbsingh | you should have a blacklist file - you can blacklist modules there, just make sure you get the entire dep tree for the module, otherwise a dep on something else might pull it in anyway |
10:32.48 | stephanb2 | kbsingh: ok. i imagine this can also b used to disable ipv6, or any "unwanted" module ? |
10:34.39 | SlammerXP | buy a Yukelali instead. |
10:34.48 | SlammerXP | "where's me washboard?!" |
10:34.51 | kbsingh | stephanb2, for ipv6 add these two lines to modprobe.conf : |

11:28.47 | kbsingh | stephanb2, he said that dual-head setup's is something he wants to work on for the 1.0 release. |
11:29.18 | kbsingh | depending on how you setup your display - you should be able to do editing on one, and preview on the other |

13:58.55 | George | lol |
13:59.08 | mozrat | George - seen my blog today? |
13:59.13 | George | no |
13:59.42 | George | esteemed? |
14:00.32 | George | mozrat: hrmm, how do you want to die today? |
14:01.18 | mozrat | George: I quite fancy the old "strapped to a metal table with a lazer beam slowly threatening to cut me in half starting with my bollocks" James Bond thing |
14:01.28 | George | laser |
14:01.35 | mozrat | Do you posses such a laser? |
14:01.39 | mozrat | possess |
14:01.40 | George | no |
14:01.53 | mozrat | shame |
14:02.35 | morsing | `date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'` [$$] - *** Finished Security Audit *** |
14:09.08 | George | 14:09:23 -!- George was kicked from #kde-devel by ivor [for using gnome. ever.] |
14:09.19 | mozrat | YES! |
14:09.21 | mozrat | excellent |
14:09.29 | George | shut up mozrat |
14:09.40 | mozrat | why did you show him then?? hahahaha |
14:10.06 | kbsingh | result! |
14:10.18 | George | DIE |
14:11.56 | JAV | Leeds: gtkguitune - Guitar and other instruments tuner |
14:12.08 | mozrat | hey JAV |
14:12.23 | morsing | mozrat: You have a blackberry?! |
14:12.32 | mozrat | morsing: yeah - you've seen it??? |
14:12.33 | morsing | mozrat: Is it nearly broken yet? |
14:12.40 | George | no, he has a raspberry |
14:12.43 | mozrat | it is a social disease |
14:12.47 | mozrat | crackberry |
14:12.55 | kbsingh | all these berries reminds me of something sorta funny. |
14:13.13 | kbsingh | while in the US - a mexican friend used to call me CranBerry Sauce |
14:13.18 | kbsingh | it kinda rhymed with my name |
14:13.24 | George | SAUSAGEBERRYTREE |
14:13.32 | kbsingh | we never did go out for a second date |
14:13.44 | mozrat | # WPP’s Sir Martin Sorrell wins CrackBerry addict of the year. He is rarely seen without the device, ensuring he is always available to respond to messages. |
14:13.51 | mozrat | He is the big boss here |
14:13.55 | George | I got lost last night after leaving the pub |
14:14.00 | George | I ended up at oxford circus... |
14:14.03 | mozrat | and he won that "award" |
14:14.33 | Leeds | the question is will firefox 1.5.0.1 finish compiling before 1.5 eats all the RAM on my system |
14:18.27 | mozrat | George: how did you get lost? |
14:18.33 | mozrat | where were you trying to get to? |
14:18.57 | mozrat | You didn't turn right down Cleveland Street again did you??? |
14:19.00 | Leeds | George: what on earth were you doing in the pub, and where you drunk? |
14:19.07 | Leeds | s/where/were |
14:19.17 | George | mozrat: warren street |
14:19.29 | George | Leeds: only a pint of ice and a couple of drops of lemonade |
14:19.42 | Leeds | I beg your pardon? |
14:19.44 | mozrat | Yes - that lemonade was a ripoff |
14:19.51 | mozrat | Leeds, he is being literal |
14:20.19 | Leeds | mozrat: is he tactfully trying to suggest that maybe there was more ice than strictly necessary in his lemonade? |
14:21.13 | mozrat | leeds, he is and there was |
14:21.20 | mozrat | a whole pint of ice |
14:22.00 | Leeds | well, I remember one melody, at least |
14:22.31 | Leeds | the tips of my fingers are far too soft |
14:22.32 | George | Leeds: there was certainly more ice than lemonade |
14:24.28 | George | and mozrat's weird |
14:25.46 | mozrat | weird |
14:25.52 | George | hah |
14:28.38 | Leeds | so, the next two goals are to get hold of some music, and re-learn how to read it |
14:28.54 | George | and to acquire a sausage tree! |
14:30.13 | Leeds | no, I have no desire for a sausage tree... I already have lucky bamboo |
14:32.24 | mozrat | George - and you call me weird? |
14:32.48 | George | mozrat: yes |
14:33.00 | mozrat | oh |
14:33.29 | George | "muffin" is such an amusing word |
14:33.39 | George | there is something intrinsically funny about the word "muffin" |
14:33.43 | mozrat | "cheesecakes" is funnier |
14:33.48 | George | nah |
14:34.12 | George | kbsingh: what do your ATI patches do, btw? |
14:34.24 | kbsingh | George, make them work |
14:34.33 | morsing | How does ksh concatenate strings? |
14:34.49 | morsing | If I have $MACHINE and $REF and want to do |
14:34.50 | kbsingh | basically, fool the xorg ver detection bit's to make it think its running a 6.9.x |
14:34.54 | morsing | $MACHINE_$REF |
14:35.00 | morsing | It doesn't work |
14:35.05 | Leeds | kbsingh: this is for the binary drivers? |
14:35.08 | morsing | Leeds! |
14:35.09 | George | kbsingh: hrmm |
14:35.13 | Leeds | morsing! |
14:35.15 | George | kbsingh: well it works fine here without any modifications |
14:35.23 | George | kbsingh: oh, I think I may have applied some Gentoo patches though |
14:35.50 | kbsingh | Leeds, well kind of - the thl and the livna.org guys work is what i built on |
14:36.01 | kbsingh | George, yeah - i think its those gentoo patches that make it so slow |
14:36.13 | George | kbsingh: well, I am running in a higher res than you |
14:36.19 | George | kbsingh: and my laptop doesn't suck. :P |
14:37.00 | kbsingh | higher res ? |
14:37.10 | kbsingh | that would not make it 1/5th the speed would it ? |
14:37.16 | kbsingh | i am running at 1680x1050 |
14:37.21 | George | heh |
14:37.23 | George | I dunno! |
14:37.31 | kbsingh | George, my laptop sucks. and ooooooooooohhhhhh baby i like it! |
14:37.49 | George | ewwwww |
14:37.52 | kbsingh | hahahaha |
14:38.03 | George | I prefer my laptop |
14:38.14 | kbsingh | btw, so everyone knows - George + KDE + IBM gets 1700fps in glxgears |
14:38.30 | kbsingh | I get more like 8600 - 8700 with Gnome |
14:38.45 | George | 10528 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2105.487 FPS |
14:38.46 | George | liar |
14:38.50 | kbsingh | not that Wm has anything to do with it.. but never miss a chance at taking a swipe at George |
14:39.14 | kbsingh | George, yeah - but you need to run it when its 'VISIBLE', minimising the window is considered naughty |
14:39.34 | George | 43839 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8767.698 FPS |
14:40.03 | kbsingh | 58968 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11793.600 FPS |
14:40.07 | George | you suck |
14:40.12 | George | oh wait |
14:40.15 | George | you're on amd64 aren't you? |
14:40.26 | kbsingh | *cough* yes *cough* |
14:40.32 | George | 64-bit has much faster 3d rendering |
14:40.39 | morsing | Check it! |
14:40.42 | kbsingh | does that I mean I win win ? |
14:40.54 | George | kbsingh: no, it means you have a disgusting ugly red computer |
14:41.01 | George | and I have a lovely black box |
14:41.11 | George | which has a stupidly high res, and stupidly small fonts |
14:41.29 | kbsingh | its actually mostly black, with a few red bits to make it look nicer, and it has a nice soft galvanised rubber finish, and a titanium frame |
14:41.41 | George | I prefer mine |
14:42.09 | George | mr clevo |
14:42.25 | kbsingh | that laptop was actually faster than this one |
14:42.41 | George | it was not a laptop. |
14:43.04 | kbsingh | it was a portable workstation |
14:43.15 | kbsingh | and that qusimo that you were playing with - had 2 sata hdd's as well |
14:43.32 | mozrat | George - you can play with my Thinkpad tablet when I get oen |
14:43.33 | mozrat | one |
14:44.08 | kbsingh | I want one too |
14:44.12 | George | mozrat: I'm going to buy one soonish |
14:44.21 | kbsingh | just need to find someone else to pay for it though |
14:44.30 | George | loser |
14:44.31 | George | :P |
14:44.31 | kbsingh | George, m birthday is not far... |
14:44.46 | George | harharhar |
14:44.52 | George | I'm skint |
14:44.59 | George | anyway, LUNC! |

14:47.41 | George | mozrat: what did you think of ldnblk's laptop? |
14:47.47 | George | if, indeed, it could be called a laptop |
14:48.09 | mozrat | it was about the size of my car |
14:48.14 | George | hah |
14:48.21 | George | it was HUGE |
14:48.28 | George | didn't much like the glossy plastic coating though |
14:48.35 | Leeds | up to 3 and a bit tunes... |
14:49.05 | George | Leeds: /nick iTunes |
14:49.48 | Leeds | evening Blapto |
14:56.36 | George | Leeds: quick question, do you know what Cope's degree is in? |
14:56.51 | Leeds | George: yes, I do |
14:57.02 | George | good :P |
14:57.17 | George | anyway |
14:58.31 | George | hah |
15:01.02 | Leeds | I do find it quite amazing that, having not picked up a guitar in years, I can still remember anything |
15:01.54 | morsing | Mmm... tadpole |

15:09.14 | George | har |
15:24.15 | Leeds | okay, I remember yesterday as well |
15:25.42 | kbsingh | Leeds, is that not a normal occurance ? |
15:26.33 | Leeds | kbsingh: how to play the melody to the song Yesterday on the guitar :-) |
15:26.47 | kbsingh | ah! |
15:26.56 | Leeds | 'All my troubles seemed so far away..." |
15:27.08 | kbsingh | I thought you were going slow on the alcohol today ( hence you remembered more stuff from history ) |
15:27.50 | Leeds | no drinking today, just walking and music |
15:37.39 | Leeds | George: were you asking if I knew what Cope's degree was, or were you asking me to tell you what it was? |
15:38.45 | mozrat | George ==> * George accuses mozrat of being a BT engineer <== hahahaha |
15:39.32 | Leeds | ah well, feels like an early night... |
15:41.35 | Blapto | Leeds, I'll start playing it on the harp if you want |
15:42.11 | Leeds | Blapto: you're welcome to - but I won't hear it from here... |
15:42.33 | Blapto | I can play quite loud |
15:42.46 | George | Leeds: I know what it is |
15:43.11 | Blapto | wethrin about? |
15:44.49 | Leeds | George: then why did you ask me? |
15:45.27 | George | Leeds: because mozrat didn't know |
15:45.39 | morsing | ping Blapto |
15:47.11 | Leeds | does mozrat know now? |
15:47.36 | George | yeah |
15:47.49 | George | we were talking about cope last night :) |
15:47.51 | Leeds | and how does mozrat feel about this? |
15:47.59 | George | dunno |
15:48.04 | George | ask him :) |
15:48.11 | George | we were talking about universities, and cope |
15:48.13 | George | not sure why |
15:48.14 | George | lol |
15:48.29 | Leeds | I am trying to ask mozrat without being too direct |
15:48.36 | George | kbsingh said it explained Cope's weird apps of choice :) |
15:49.02 | Leeds | heh |
15:51.37 | Blapto | Hey morsing |
15:52.57 | George | is that the voyage of the dawn treader? |
15:53.08 | Leeds | sorry, pre-penultimate |
15:53.14 | Leeds | horse and his boy |
15:53.19 | George | oh |
15:53.20 | George | ok |
15:53.22 | mozrat | Sorry - was away |
15:53.47 | gregj | anyone here with expierence on symbian development ? |
15:53.52 | mozrat | I wasn't surprised being an uneducated oaf who didn't go to uni - you all seem to have done some strange degrees |
15:54.00 | mozrat | and besides Cope is a darling anyway |
15:55.00 | George | haha |
15:55.25 | Leeds | what's stange about computer science? |
15:55.35 | Leeds | strange |
15:55.37 | Blapto | Leeds, silly question. |
15:55.42 | George | Leeds: I was wrong, Voyage of the Dawn treader is the 3rd last book |
15:55.50 | George | Leeds: horse and his boy is the third book |
15:56.44 | Blapto | http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=zLElfJ9YCh0 (SFW) you've all seen this, yes? |
15:58.05 | Leeds | George: there are two different chronologies |
16:00.30 | George | Leeds: yes, the publication chronologies, and the REAL chronologies :P |
16:00.38 | George | s/chronologies/chronology/ |
16:00.45 | George | SHUT UP IBOT |
16:04.20 | morsing | Blapto: If I have $machine and $func and want $somevar=$machine_$func |
16:04.26 | morsing | How to do that? |
16:04.45 | morsing | It complains that $machine_ doesn't exist |
16:04.54 | Blapto | Why do you expect me to know? |
16:05.36 | morsing | Well, how to do it?! |
16:05.40 | Blapto | I don't know! |
16:05.46 | Blapto | I'm no programmer... |
16:06.06 | Erwin | morsing: "${machine}_${func}" |
16:06.14 | morsing | Erwin: It's Perl |
16:06.16 | kbsingh | George, is there really someone called 'woo' in your class - or is that 'woo' = george ? |
16:06.19 | Erwin | morsing: I know. |
16:06.26 | Blapto | Hmm, I might grab my perl book. |
16:06.30 | Blapto | If I can find it. |
16:06.46 | George | kbsingh: Sang Woo Han |
16:06.56 | George | or rather, Sang-Woo Han |
16:06.59 | George | and yes, he does exist |
16:07.03 | morsing | Bareword found where operator expected at ./time.pl line 18, near "${machine}_" |
16:07.29 | Leeds | $machine+"_"+$func |
16:07.29 | Erwin | What exactly is your line? |
16:08.01 | Leeds | morsing: use a friendly language, not Perl |
16:08.22 | Erwin | $ perl -w -e 'use strict; my $foobar = 42; print "${foobar}_xx\n"' |
16:08.22 | Erwin | 42_xx |
16:09.09 | morsing | Leeds: Thanks, that works |
16:09.21 | morsing | Erwin: That doesn't work however |
16:09.24 | Leeds | oh lord... I'm on the 3rd floor of this building... they've been working on the street outside, and they've left some metal sheets over a hole in the road, and it makes a noise whenever a car drives over it :-( |
16:09.30 | morsing | Erwin: Thanks for trying though |
16:09.42 | Erwin | morsing: How doesn't it work? as you can see, it works fine for me. |
16:12.14 | Blapto | Leeds, steal them! |
16:14.48 | Leeds | Blapto: going to shoot a friend in the face? |
16:15.51 | Erwin | Clinton did that too, are they going to impeach Cheney? |
16:17.07 | Leeds | "2 game wardens, 7 hunters, and a cow" |
16:17.11 | Leeds | zzzz |
16:17.21 | JAV | Erwin: :) |
16:31.05 | Leeds | riight, all I've got left now is creation and judgement day |
16:32.39 | Cope | rhowe: ping |
16:33.33 | George | woo, it's Cope |
16:33.37 | George | we were talking about you, Cope |
16:33.51 | Cope | that's nice |
16:33.55 | George | :D |
16:34.30 | George | Cope: me, mozrat, z00dax |
16:34.41 | Cope | George: a fine triumvirate |
16:34.46 | George | lol |
16:38.33 | Cope | grr @ rhowe |
16:40.20 | George | Cope: is it true that your web browser of choice is lynx (or some homonym of)? |
16:40.47 | Cope | used to be elinks |
16:40.51 | Cope | these days I like w3m |
16:40.56 | George | what is it now? |
16:41.00 | Cope | w3m |
16:41.07 | George | heh |
16:41.10 | Erwin | I abandoned Mozilla/Firefox for Opera. No more 3 crashes a day. |
16:41.23 | George | lovely little konqi |
16:41.26 | George | mmmm |
16:41.26 | George | konqi! |
16:41.47 | Cope | unless i need pictures, in which case I use firefox; although there is now a very good keyboard-driven firefox clone that fits my approach |
16:42.11 | Cope | Erwin: haven't used opera for ages - I used to like it very muc |
16:42.12 | wethrin | Blapto: ping |
16:42.13 | Cope | h |
16:42.25 | George | Cope: KONQUEROR!!!!!!!! |
16:43.02 | mozrat | Cope!! |
16:43.08 | George | mozrat!!! |
16:43.09 | Cope | George: on the occasions I've used kde (eg vanilla suse install or knoppix) I've very rapidly found konqueror to be annoying and slow |
16:43.17 | mozrat | did you fix your weirdness last night? |
16:43.21 | mozrat | George: :D |
16:43.21 | Cope | mozrat: no :( |
16:43.26 | Cope | mozrat: got too tired |
16:43.29 | George | Cope: that's because most distros have a stupidly slow KDE |
16:43.33 | Cope | and had no one to talk to |
16:43.34 | George | Cope: use my machine. it's REALLY fast :D |
16:43.37 | Cope | George: yes, probably right |
16:44.01 | George | Cope: my Konqueror is absolutely instant even when my CPU is running at 800MHz |
16:44.30 | Cope | jolly good |
16:44.36 | Cope | what does it do that firefox can't? |
16:44.51 | Cope | and I don't count kde integration |
16:45.00 | Cope | given that I don't use kde and never will |
16:45.06 | George | Cope: lots |
16:45.15 | wethrin | All web browsers suck |
16:45.16 | George | Cope: it's faster than firefox for a start :P |
16:45.23 | George | wethrin: the web sucks. IRC > *! |
16:45.26 | wethrin | :) |
16:45.48 | Cope | George: that's not a very scientific statement. How was it measured? On what systems? Using what benchmarks? |
16:45.50 | George | Cope: kparts means it read pretty much anything |
16:45.57 | George | KMozilla means it can use the Gecko rendering engine |
16:46.20 | George | Cope: Konqueror takes about half a second to coldstart on my laptop |
16:46.25 | George | Cope: firefox takes 10 seconds |
16:46.30 | George | Cope: same with my athlon64 |
16:46.34 | morsing | Check it! |
16:46.51 | George | I run KDE though, it may affect stuff :P |
16:49.06 | Cope | lol |
16:49.23 | George | KDE for the win! |
16:49.26 | George | GNOME SUCKS! |
16:49.36 | wethrin | We have pictures that prove otherwise |
16:49.39 | George | have to say that to combat the LIBEL which mozrat has been spreading |
16:49.57 | George | death to non-KDE fanatics! |
16:50.34 | Cope | lol |
16:50.34 | mozrat | Cope |
16:50.38 | Cope | mozrat: yes? |
16:50.51 | George | Cope just can't cope with Konqueror |
16:50.55 | mozrat | it returns Content-Type: text/plain on the first one |
16:50.57 | George | (hohohoho) |
16:51.03 | Cope | mozrat: indeed, i changed it |
16:51.07 | mozrat | the second URL you gave returns Content-Type: text/html |
16:51.17 | mozrat | oh |
16:51.19 | Cope | mozrat: which is which? |
16:51.21 | mozrat | you changed it after |
16:51.22 | mozrat | ? |
16:51.27 | Cope | mozrat: which is www2? |

16:51.46 | George | Cope: why weren't you at the thingy last night, btw? |
16:51.56 | mozrat | so it must be the MIME handler |
16:52.12 | wethrin | Different Apache configurations? |
16:52.16 | Cope | wethrin: yes |
16:52.20 | George | mozrat: are you going to join the wmin compsoc? |
16:52.23 | wethrin | Cope: ? |
16:52.24 | Cope | wethrin: but I don't admin the www one |
16:52.27 | wethrin | Ahh |
16:52.31 | wethrin | d'oh |
16:52.35 | mozrat | George: I much prefer weekday evening events |
16:52.35 | Cope | wethrin: and the www one works |
16:52.38 | wethrin | I thought mozrat was asking the question |
16:52.44 | mozrat | so if that is what they do then yes |
16:52.45 | George | mozrat: yeah, but then we get internet! |
16:52.51 | wethrin | Have you added the handler for .shtml? |
16:53.06 | George | MIME is evil |
16:53.09 | Cope | while on an akamai call |
16:54.27 | George | it was a very cool app |
16:54.31 | mozrat | George: it was |
16:54.33 | George | even if the UI was a bit of a bitch |
16:54.43 | kbsingh | does someone want to record the Brit Awards tonite ? and .torrent them over ? |
16:54.52 | George | wtf is "scanelf"? |
16:55.04 | George | kbsingh: only if you stop spelling "tonight" as "tonite" :) |
16:55.24 | kbsingh | George, thats an extra keystroke |
16:55.34 | George | kbsingh: there we go, I've installed newer ATI drivers than you |
16:55.37 | morsing | kbsingh: Check it! |
16:56.08 | Cope | DefaultType text/plain |
16:56.15 | kbsingh | George, i bet its still slower |
16:56.16 | morsing | Restarting smokeping: ### fping seems to report in 1 milliseconds |
16:56.21 | Cope | is the only time tex/plain appears |
16:57.11 | Cope | AddType text/html shtml |
16:57.11 | Cope | AddHandler server-parsed shtm |
16:57.14 | Cope | is present |
16:57.25 | mozrat | should there be a . in there? |

19:00.04 | Blapto | wethrin, Hi |
19:00.12 | Blapto | Just got back from CERN! |
19:00.14 | Blapto | Well |
19:00.17 | Blapto | got back yesterday |
19:00.21 | wethrin | How was it? |
19:00.48 | Blapto | gooood |
19:01.50 | wethrin | Played with any of their big colliders? |
19:02.34 | Blapto | Played with a little one |
19:02.49 | wethrin | Showed them little atoms what's what, eh |
19:02.55 | Blapto | The big one is being tooled until next year for some hot proton on proton action. |
19:03.08 | Blapto | Made some antimatter out of banging little things together |
19:03.13 | wethrin | nice |
19:03.21 | wethrin | Collect it in sample chambers :) |
19:03.28 | Blapto | Errr. |
19:03.31 | Blapto | Collect antimater? |
19:03.39 | Blapto | What do you propose I keep it in/ |
19:03.46 | wethrin | George :) |
19:04.08 | wethrin | Alternatively giant magnetic fields if it's charged |
19:04.22 | Blapto | Yes, but you'd also need to cool it to 0K |
19:04.30 | Blapto | Otherwise it would drift. |
19:04.38 | Blapto | Or keep it in a perfect vacuum, that would work. |
19:05.09 | wethrin | Meh. Vacuums suck |
19:05.36 | George | wethrin: ? |
19:06.06 | wethrin | You suck. Therefore you must be a moral vacuum |
19:06.17 | George | you're an idiot |
19:06.28 | wethrin | oi |
19:11.21 | Blapto | So yeah, you in london Dan? |
19:12.01 | wethrin | Nope. I'm in Durham |
19:12.08 | Blapto | Bah |
19:12.12 | wethrin | sorry |
19:12.20 | Blapto | I'm going to a party Saturday night |
19:12.24 | wethrin | woot? |
19:12.25 | Blapto | and I ought to turn up drunk |
19:13.18 | wethrin | Half a bottle of rum ought to do the trick |
19:14.06 | Blapto | Heh |
19:14.09 | Blapto | In CERN |
19:14.11 | Blapto | got a little drunk |
19:14.27 | Blapto | 2/3 nights there |
19:14.57 | Blapto | Anyway, last night, I bought a bottle of whisky |
19:15.12 | Blapto | and it was only me drinking it without mixers. |
19:15.19 | Blapto | Teacher comes into room. |
19:15.27 | rhowe | Yeah baby! |
19:15.31 | rhowe | Thankyou Virgin Money |
19:15.33 | Blapto | *sniff* *sniff* "What you drinking lads?" |
19:15.59 | Blapto | Looks around, sees glasses full of coke "I hope that's just coke, yeah." |
19:16.09 | Blapto | Looks at me "But what's that?" |
19:16.22 | rhowe | "Your current balance is six pounds, thirty nine pence. Credit" |
19:16.23 | Blapto | I down what equates to about 6 measures in my glass |
19:16.28 | rhowe | Thankyou Virgin Money :D |
19:16.34 | Blapto | (wheezing) "Apple juice... Sir" |
19:16.42 | Blapto | He just turned around and walked out :D |
19:16.50 | Blapto | rhowe, you got a loan to... pay off your loan? |
19:18.09 | rhowe | Blapto: Yeah, a 0% for 6 months loan |
19:18.09 | Blapto | Or have I missed half the story? |
19:18.15 | rhowe | er, 9 months |
19:18.26 | rhowe | Blapto: After which time I'll have saved the money to pay it off |
19:18.33 | Blapto | You keep telling yourself that ;) |
19:18.43 | rhowe | Blapto: I've already set up the standing order :) |
19:19.09 | Blapto | :D |
19:20.00 | wethrin | Surely the teacher should know what whisky is... |
19:20.07 | wethrin | And how it smells |
19:20.20 | Blapto | Yeah |
19:20.23 | Blapto | He didn't actually care. |
19:20.25 | wethrin | heh |
19:20.27 | Blapto | Just wanted a laugh. |
19:20.39 | wethrin | They normally don't, on trips |
19:20.48 | wethrin | Was it nice whisky? |
19:20.54 | Blapto | there was an empty bottle of vodka on the table, someone was trying to climb out of a window, and there were two empty bottles of wine in the sink. |
19:21.02 | Blapto | It was rough, which was why I was drinking it as fast as possible. |
19:21.24 | wethrin | some blend, then? |
19:21.26 | Blapto | Got through half the bottle in about 20 minutes, and apparently I drank the rest over the course of the night. |

20:24.52 | eye69 | This is weird. Trying to get LIRC working, but I can't get any reaction from the receiver. It's working fine in Windows. It's an irman that doesn't require a kernel driver. |

20:28.24 | eye69 | I seem to remember having this problem a few years ago (have had the receiver for a long time) but I can't remember how I solved it. |
20:30.27 | eye69 | Hmmmm...shouldn't /proc/interrupts show the port? |
20:32.47 | eye69 | I'll try compiling serial support as a module instead. |
