10:18.53ArmandHiya. :)
10:27.59bilarhmorning
10:32.50LeedsI hate a) Windows b) users
10:33.13Leedsc) Windows users
10:35.10ArmandThanks.. :(
10:39.56Paul_UKheh I'll never let go of XP.  Linuzzz Desktop espically UbuntuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz  sux0rz right now.
10:40.04Paul_UKVista can die for all I care
10:42.44bilarhi love my linux desktop :)
10:43.01Paul_UKwhat distro?
10:43.27bilarhi use ubuntu at home and redhat as 4.3 at work
10:43.35bilarhgnome at home, kde at work
10:43.39Paul_UKubuntu, blarrrraaaghhh!
10:43.51Paul_UKcant wait for kde 4.1
10:43.57bilarhmaybe we use our computers for different things
10:44.13Paul_UKagreed, i like my computers to work
10:45.31bilarhmaybe if you were a better linux user, they would ;-)
10:46.47Paul_UKlol, not really.  I have the same complaints as alot of other people do.  They revolve around Flash Player, codecs, Compiz, Games, Office 2003/7 (openoffice sux), etc.
10:47.02antiphaseu r shit AICMFP
10:47.26bilarhantiphase: that was back in the thirties, afaicr ;)
10:47.30Paul_UKI work with my laptop around 18 hours per day, I just couldnt work efficently with a linux desktop.  Had to go back to XP.
10:48.14Paul_UKLinux rocks on the server, but maybe 2008 is the year of the desktop.  who knows.
10:48.15antiphaseI'd agree that there is no usable free office productivity suite, the rest is far superior to Windoze though
10:48.22bilarhpaul_uk: fair enough, i'm not saying using xp is wrong... i just want my xterm, mozilla and emacs and i'm happy
10:48.36antiphaseAnd of course iTunes
10:48.48Paul_UKiTunes, now who is shit lol
10:48.51bilarhand for those (maybe not mozilla), linux desktops are superior (in my opinion)
10:48.56bilarhand itunes too, that rocks
10:49.04bilarhi used to think it was shit, but that's because i didn't get it
10:49.27Paul_UKI have an ipod, cant live without it.  but dont use itunes heh
10:49.39antiphasewfm
10:50.03Paul_UKwfm?
10:51.00antiphaseWorks For Me
10:51.22Paul_UKit works for alot of other people, doesnt stop it from being shit tho
10:51.42Paul_UKand quicktime
10:51.48Paul_UKewwww
10:52.43Paul_UKlol in CentOS - [10:46] <vasco> i am in da SHIT
10:54.35Paul_UKhas anyone seen the DX9 feature in Wine-doors? : http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/11/directx-90c-on-linux-with-wine.html
10:54.47Paul_UKnot sure if its been ./ or the site is just borked
11:06.54wethrinbilarh: I run xterm, emacs, and Firefox under Win2000
11:08.44antiphaseMad skillz right there
11:08.45bilarhwethrin: yeah i know you can, but i don't like it.. personal preference
11:12.30wethrinfair enough
11:12.42wethrinI have to use Windows in the department, so....
11:13.06wethrinAnd using cygwin means I can do natty things with shell, ed, and awk scripts
11:16.37bilarhcygwin is so slow, though
11:16.45bilarhbut the x server that comes with it is the dogs danglies
11:27.50wethrinIt's a bit slow, but I've had worse

13:15.39dick_turpinbilarh: Its taken years to achieve this haggard look
13:27.53dick_turpinHere's a good one. Whats the worst Christmas Bonus you've had or know about? I'll give you an example
13:27.56dick_turpinWe have a plastic bag manufacturer up here
13:27.56dick_turpinA few years ago they gave all the workers a selection of?
13:27.56dick_turpinYou guessed it, a selection of the bags they had been making all year
13:27.56dick_turpinWhen the staff complained the management said
13:27.56dick_turpin.They are so ungrateful everyone had £100.00.s worth of goods.
13:28.20bilarhhehe wtf plastic bags for chrimbo?
13:28.32bilarhgood if you want to strangle yourself
13:28.38bilarhor if you're into extreme sex :-)
13:28.46bilarhwith stockings and oranges
13:29.24dick_turpinThey was serious, pedal bin, swing bin and garden refuse bags
13:29.42bilarhhehe man that *really* sucks :D
13:30.16bilarhi wonder who bagged the biggest bonus
13:30.29dick_turpinI worked at a place once that made everyone pay for the office party even if you didn't go
13:30.44bilarhhehe, nice
13:32.20dick_turpinMy misses works for Foxes Biscuits they used to give a huge hamper, Turkey, cakes, chocolate, nuts, biscuits yadder yadder yadder
13:32.53dick_turpinBut HSE stopped most of it, now we just get Biscuits
13:33.35bilarhwhat was the HSE risk identified? heart attack?
13:34.28dick_turpinSalmonella
13:35.42dick_turpinIt was fantastic, if you was a cheap skate you could of had a pretty good dinner with it
13:35.55dick_turpinYou'd only have to buy some veg
13:36.15bilarhsalmonella ffs
13:36.19bilarhgive me strength!
13:36.41bilarhi *hate* HSE - it's almost all a bunch of twaddle
13:36.45dick_turpinThe one year she got two hampers by mistake
13:37.10bilarhand it's mostly governed by little hitlers who feel they need to assert their "authority"
13:37.12dick_turpinyou should have seen the slagging off she got

18:23.56highburymy head hurts, I've decided I'm probably going to buy a Shuttle PC a "SG33G6 Deluxe" but I can't understand the choice of memory I can buy. I want to buy 2 x 2Gb DDR2 memory, but don't understand the diference between them all
18:24.48wethrinHave you tried Crucial's memory selector?
18:26.18highburyThe only ones Shuttle have approved and tested are
18:26.26highburyDDR2    2GB     G.Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ(ROHS)

18:26.48wethrinDifferent clockings?

18:27.25wethrinnot inherently

18:33.21wethrinYou need to make sure the latency matches
18:33.29wethrinSo use CL5 or CL6. But don't mix them
18:34.16highburyyep, I understand I need to buy them as a pair
18:34.36wethrinWhat's the price difference?
18:41.31kjalilhighbury: as wethrin said, try using crucial's memory selector. it's quite good
18:41.53highburyahh, but I wanted to buy everything from Overclockers UK and they don't list any of them!
18:42.10highburyCrucial doesn't match the system
18:42.30kjalilhighbury: do you know the motherboard model in the system? crucial might match it?
