04:51.54 | Discordian | Good fort you |

07:56.42 | Cope | good afternoon, sior |
07:59.50 | Leeds | how is the life of you? |
08:00.30 | Cope | satisfactory |

08:01.22 | Cope | currently fucked off that the day I *really* need to use safari, they take it down for maintenance |
08:02.18 | Leeds | ah-ha |
08:02.46 | Leeds | I haven't had access to safari for quite a long time |
08:02.57 | Cope | however, moaning about it on irc has clearly helped, since it seems I now can sign in! |
08:03.20 | Leeds | result! |
08:03.29 | Cope | although my train arribves in 2 mins, so the moment has somewhat passsed |
08:03.56 | Cope | there are two very attractive ladies nearby, though :) |
08:04.04 | Leeds | nice |
08:04.40 | Leeds | there is one moderately-attractive one near me... she is extremely pregnant though, due in about a month |
08:05.09 | Cope | wizzo |

08:55.15 | Leeds | okay, I'm playing battleships on facebook... could I get much lower? |
09:02.36 | bilarh | you could be scooping yoghurt out of a pot with your hand |
09:03.02 | bilarh | or even |
09:03.08 | bilarh | enter dick_turpin. |
09:03.09 | bilarh | :-D |
09:12.00 | bilarh | bring on payday :-\ |
09:13.00 | Leeds | a week today for me |
09:13.31 | bilarh | i am so broke |
09:13.39 | bilarh | this month has been rubbish from a money point of view |
09:13.47 | bilarh | bloody car is bankruping me |
09:13.51 | bilarh | bankrupting |
09:14.28 | bilarh | it's one of those "35 day" months this time |
09:14.32 | hali | did you diy-brake it? |
09:14.36 | bilarh | i hate being paid on the last friday of the month, it sucks |
09:14.41 | bilarh | hali: no i had someone fit a clutch |
09:14.50 | bilarh | for only 850 quid :-\ |
09:14.56 | bilarh | and then i had to pay for other stupid shit as well |
09:15.11 | bilarh | "had" to buy that running machine, for example :D |
09:15.12 | hali | annoying |
09:15.20 | hali | you could just buy a yaris :) |
09:15.21 | bilarh | it's currently serving as a clothes rack |
09:15.44 | bilarh | taht would be like a quarter of the power :) |
09:15.49 | hali | real running is free :) |
09:15.50 | bilarh | and probably 1/8th of the running costs |
09:15.55 | bilarh | what's the point of that :P |
09:15.57 | hali | yes and yes :) |
09:16.20 | hali | it is the "hobby" car i guess so it's fine it costs a bit of dosh |
09:16.31 | hali | as you're not really dependant on it |
09:16.33 | bilarh | yeah it is |
09:16.55 | bilarh | but when it's like... affecting my day to day life as i have to scrimp and save at the end of the month, it kind of sucks |
09:17.06 | bilarh | oh yeah, i remember... i had to pay for that stupid holiday as well |
09:17.22 | bilarh | i'm starting to sound like one of those people on the bbc debt programmes |
09:17.29 | hali | but you can just wait and spend the cash next month if you have to, you don't need *need* it asap |
09:17.29 | bilarh | without the debt, so far |
09:17.36 | bilarh | yeah i know |
09:17.44 | bilarh | i should be paid a decent amount of overtime this month, i hope |
09:17.46 | hali | do you spend £8k a month on handbags? :) |
09:17.52 | bilarh | hehe :) |
09:18.06 | bilarh | 8k a month on different shaded silicone hoses |
09:18.14 | bilarh | silicone hosiery? :) |
09:18.30 | hali | im not sure if i feel sorry the suckers in those shows or if i just want to slap them |
09:18.34 | hali | mostly slap i think |
09:18.37 | bilarh | well, to be honest |
09:18.45 | bilarh | if i *really* didn't have the money, i wouldn't buy the stuff |
09:18.50 | bilarh | so i think we should just slap them |
09:19.11 | hali | they must either have some pshycological thing or just be *really* stupid |
09:19.16 | bilarh | if they get in to debt because they lose their jobs and have to feed their kids, then i don't really think they're being irresponsible |
09:19.24 | bilarh | but to get into debt to buy clothes and handbags... sheesh |
09:19.27 | bilarh | or whatever the guys do |
09:19.33 | hali | like "i wasn't breast fed so now i need to find someone else to love me!" |
09:19.44 | hali | i think thye buy handbags too |
09:19.44 | bilarh | oh yeah, some real corkers on that show :D |
09:20.01 | bilarh | speaking of which... |
09:20.17 | bilarh | i loved the gambler who sued ladbrokes for him losing 2M :D |
09:20.20 | bilarh | what a plank |
09:20.40 | bilarh | "my life's been ruined because of ladbrokes" |
09:20.53 | hali | im against gambling so i don't really care |
09:20.54 | bilarh | like, no, it's been ruiend because you placed stupid bets you couldn't afford to lose |
09:20.59 | bilarh | well, i don't mind |
09:21.05 | bilarh | i'm all for personal responsibility |
09:21.25 | bilarh | if you fuck up because of gambling, don't come crying saying you lost all your money and it must be someone elses fault |
09:21.28 | hali | of course, but general gambling won't pay off if the system was perfect |
09:21.38 | hali | because we need stupid kretins to loose in order for smart people to win :) |
09:21.45 | bilarh | it's possible to make a decent living off betfair for example |
09:21.48 | bilarh | yeah :P |
09:21.53 | bilarh | even i'm up on betfair |
09:21.58 | bilarh | only about 20 quid, but still :D |
09:22.04 | bilarh | actually, it must be more than that |
09:22.16 | bilarh | i've probably placed around 50 quid in total deposits |
09:22.22 | bilarh | over a year and a half |
09:22.31 | bilarh | and i've withdrawn 100 |
09:22.38 | bilarh | maybe i should give up my day job :D |
09:23.01 | Leeds | I went to Macau at the weekend, came back having won about $700 in the casino |
09:23.12 | Leeds | 45 quid or so |
09:23.35 | Leeds | paid for about half of the day trip - ferries, food and incidentals |
09:23.54 | hali | i gamble a lot too actually, im staying in my current job! whats a gamble now when we've been owned by VC for a year and a half, not sure what they plan to do with us |
09:24.09 | bilarh | hali: exactly |
09:24.13 | hali | i think ass rape is on the table :) |
09:29.53 | Leeds | I did lose around $5000 in Macau last summer... |
09:30.05 | hali | now i need to figure out how easy it is to move cpu's areound on sun v880 cpu boards |

09:32.24 | hali | i hope not |
09:32.33 | hali | bought 4 new boards off ebay :D |
09:32.44 | hali | 2x1200MHz/8Gb each |
09:32.52 | hali | all 4 cost £3200 |
09:33.07 | bilarh | feck me |
09:33.14 | bilarh | they're like 32k from sun, aren't they |
09:33.14 | hali | they v880 with 2x900mhz procs cost around £40k a few years ago :) |
09:33.16 | bilarh | or was that for tw |
09:33.18 | bilarh | o |
09:33.32 | bilarh | i remember when we put a couple of boards in when i worked for that "service provider" |
09:33.36 | bilarh | it cost a bloody bomb |
09:33.38 | hali | yes |
09:33.43 | bilarh | and didn't make a huge amount of difference anyway |
09:33.45 | hali | these are refurbished though |
09:33.51 | bilarh | so were the ones we got! |
09:33.57 | bilarh | you can't buy brand new ones anymore |
09:34.01 | bilarh | it's all refurbished even via sun |
09:34.09 | bilarh | at least that's what i was told at the time |
09:34.18 | hali | ah, via sun with warranty is probably a lot more expensive |
09:34.25 | hali | we only got 90-days warranty |
09:34.34 | hali | it's only for development so im not to fussed |
09:34.37 | hali | sybase :S |
09:34.44 | bilarh | ah :) |
09:35.17 | hali | but it was from a "real" company and all |
09:35.24 | hali | i was surprised how much prices have dropped |
09:35.26 | bilarh | that's really cool actually |
09:35.36 | bilarh | i was quite surprised that it was still that expensive :D |
09:35.42 | bilarh | the v880 is a POS imo |
09:35.45 | hali | i had 3k in the budget to get 16Gb more ram for the box, got 8 new procs and 32Gb ram for that money |
09:36.05 | hali | v880's are pretty quick |
09:36.08 | hali | at least for sybase loads |
09:36.11 | bilarh | when you put it like that, it's good :D |
09:36.18 | bilarh | i hate them |
09:36.30 | bilarh | everywhere i've worked with them, they've been dog slow |
09:36.30 | hali | we have them running in three zones with one sybase server in each |
09:36.35 | bilarh | at servista, at the bank, here |
09:36.44 | hali | i think raid5 is the problem there |
09:36.51 | bilarh | no this was raid10 |
09:36.59 | bilarh | at servista we had hardware raid10 |
09:37.02 | hali | we have 6 internal mirrored disks plus an external sun t3 fc enclosure |
09:37.26 | bilarh | oh you mean *here* here |
09:37.26 | bilarh | yeah, raid5 is a killer, but it's the network that sucks |

13:03.43 | Ch0Hag | Later on in the site, when ordering or some such starts demanding it could perhaps be considered acceptible, if pointless, but not right at the beginning. |

14:31.07 | Cope | well, in recent years, reasons for buildings to shake... |
14:31.10 | Cope | 1) a bomb |
14:31.13 | wethrin | I thought it was a goods train going past, as the house normally shakes when one passes. Then realised that there wasn't actually a trani going past. So fell asleep. |
14:31.14 | Cope | 2) erm... a bomb |
14:31.33 | Cope | hrm.... was it in the vening? |
14:31.47 | wethrin | 1am |
14:31.51 | bilarh | i personally thought it was a *paedophile terrorist* |
14:31.55 | wethrin | Well, 0052 or so |
14:32.16 | bilarh | this country is full of the, dontcha know? hiding under every bush and in every alley way |
14:32.27 | bilarh | s/the/them/ |
14:32.57 | bilarh | the government and press should stop scaring normal people all the time... i think that would make this country better |
14:33.30 | wethrin | Stop people reading the Daily Mail, and the Di-ly Express |
14:33.37 | bilarh | and the sun |
14:33.46 | wethrin | Eh, the Sun mostly takes the piss |
14:33.46 | Cope | y'know i was up then, and i did notice plates and glasses rattle |
14:33.48 | wethrin | Out of itself too |
14:33.56 | Cope | interesting |
14:34.06 | wethrin | Cope: But it didn't spill your tea, did it? |
15:02.13 | Blapto | Beer and burgers, mm mm |
15:03.03 | Blapto | I was in a car down the A10 at the time, didn't notice a thing |
15:15.14 | zmey_g | the last earth quake of 6 degree caught me on the 9 floor in 1991, i believe. it was something! |

15:41.50 | bilarh | dick_turpin! |
15:42.02 | bilarh | please tell me you didn't feel scared you were going to die during the earth quake? |
15:42.15 | bilarh | seeing as you live up in scotland |
15:43.05 | hali | did people seriously think they where going to die from the earthquake? |
15:43.14 | hali | sounds more like a tabloid story |
15:43.18 | bilarh | yeah there was loads of people saying they were really scared |
15:43.22 | bilarh | no it was real people interviewed on the tv |
15:43.23 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Groan: You should have seen Central TV, images of smashed chimneys and shaking CCTV cameras |
15:43.31 | bilarh | to be fair, some of the houses seemed quite damaged |
15:43.58 | bilarh | dick_turpin: my personal favourite was the dude on radio1 news who immediately assumed it was a terrorist attack |
15:44.01 | bilarh | plank |
15:44.41 | Blapto | My fave was a guy on the register who commented that his girlfriend woke up with "What's going on? Is it the cat?" |
15:44.45 | dick_turpin | bilarh: When the Dudley one happened I was asleep, it woke me up and I thought it was a plane crash!! |
15:45.08 | bilarh | dudleeeeeeyyy |
15:45.13 | bilarh | sorry, had to say it :D |
15:45.17 | dick_turpin | bilarh: (We get a lot of planes going to Birm airport) |
15:45.30 | bilarh | how about burning 4x4's? |
15:45.42 | dick_turpin | bilarh: ? |
15:45.54 | bilarh | or was that scotland? |
15:46.10 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Scotland you Muppet |
15:46.45 | bilarh | well, you know what these terrorist lurking in every nook and cranny are like |
15:46.57 | bilarh | mind, in birmingham it's mroe likely to be the local hoodie joy riders |
15:47.40 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Um /me needs to be careful, more like yarddies (Spelling?) |
15:48.02 | bilarh | i thought that was brixton? |
15:48.14 | bilarh | or have i got my minorities wrong? |
15:48.54 | dick_turpin | bilarh: We seem to get a lot of shootings just lately, drive by's ect |
15:49.17 | bilarh | i read in the daily mail that it was due to terrorist training camps |
15:49.43 | starshine | rofl @ "is that the cat?" -> quake |
15:49.59 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Rotfl did you see them Muppets jumping over a stream yelling stuff, very funny |
15:50.09 | bilarh | no? :) |
15:50.21 | dick_turpin | starshine: :-) |
15:50.32 | starshine | I did know someone once who got landed on by the books of a bookshelf during quake |
15:50.46 | starshine | she'd been at a swell party the night before and was staying-over on the couch |
15:51.08 | starshine | so the shelf waqs just above her and it's strapped proper but the books all leapt to their doooooom |
15:52.29 | starshine | her *thinking* self took it all in stride and found it very funny actually, but... |
15:53.09 | starshine | ...she couldn't make herself sleep indoors except in a huuuuge empty room. |

15:55.08 | dick_turpin | bilarh: I hope not, you up in court tomorrow for the last thing you told someone to do |
15:55.21 | secretlondon | bilarh: I've applied for lots of jobs online, and have a meeting with (another) pimp tomorrow morn for another public sector job |
15:55.32 | bilarh | secretlondon: cool :D |
15:56.03 | dick_turpin | starshine: I was going to say crashing books on your head is one way of getting knowledge in the old bonce (head) |
15:56.04 | secretlondon | had an interview with a pimp on tues for public sector work - they said they'd take refs immediately but haven't contacted them yet |
15:56.27 | Blapto | secretlondon, what's public sector work then? |
15:56.35 | bilarh | secretlondon: sometimes they don't bother for a while, i think |
15:56.37 | dick_turpin | Blapto: Council |
15:56.47 | secretlondon | Blapto: you know council, government type of thing |
15:57.00 | starshine | dick_turpin: hehe ya some people seem to need that :D |

15:58.51 | secretlondon | bilarh: they hassled me to get the referees to them "that afternoon", "asap" etc. of course they bullshit massively |
15:58.59 | secretlondon | dick: you might, I've never heard that |
15:59.00 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Stay you Nordic woos |
15:59.23 | bilarh | dick_turpin: that means i have to listen to your drivel! |

16:00.23 | dick_turpin | bilarh: You know your mum? |
16:00.40 | bilarh | dick_turpin: hah! she was angry with my brother last time i called, so temporarily, at least, i'm her favourite son! |
16:01.13 | secretlondon | bilarh: being rude to yer dad? |
16:01.54 | bilarh | no, thankfully dick_turpin is not my dad |

17:08.02 | Blapto | or order pizza in |
17:08.39 | secretlondon | yeah I just don't think I have the cash on me |
17:09.00 | cpufreak | thats what a creditcard is for |
17:16.58 | secretlondon | I only appear to have 1 pizza leaflet here anyway |
17:17.09 | Blapto | try paying with it |
17:18.41 | secretlondon | no sane pizza place round here would take cards |
17:19.06 | Blapto | try looking for change down the back of the sofa |
17:19.22 | secretlondon | I get the message ffs |

21:36.39 | secretlondon | yep |
21:44.00 | Discordian | Hmmm elonix are doing a new 99 quid notebook |
21:44.35 | secretlondon | ooh |
21:44.44 | secretlondon | whats the spec? |
21:45.35 | Discordian | Not disclosed as yet |
21:46.33 | secretlondon | presume its a sub notebook thing |
21:47.13 | secretlondon | sounds cool though - I could actually afford that ;) |
21:47.35 | wethrin | There's better things to spend money on... |
21:50.14 | secretlondon | really? |
21:50.14 | secretlondon | like food and rent I suppose |
21:50.25 | secretlondon | then cool geek toys |
21:50.37 | secretlondon | 99 quid notebook = 12 pizzas |
21:51.34 | wethrin | mmm....pizzas |
21:51.39 | z00dax | mmm pizza |
21:52.57 | secretlondon | mmm sub notebook |
21:53.33 | z00dax | what kind of ram des the ultra/10 use ? |
21:54.01 | hali | sun ram |
21:54.19 | hali | i have 4gb ram that fits in a ultra60 if you have one |
21:54.21 | hali | or can get one |
21:54.26 | hali | or ultra 80 |
21:54.39 | hali | actually, i have a spare 420r to take the ram from so got cpu's as well if you need |
21:54.54 | hali | or ultra2 or ultra30 |
21:54.59 | hali | ultra2 is ace |
21:55.11 | hali | 10 times better than u10/u5 |
21:56.24 | hali | ultra 1e is not a bad box |
21:56.30 | hali | the original ultra 1 is a bit boring |
21:56.34 | hali | slow scsi and only 10mbit ethernet |
21:56.36 | secretlondon | and 6 sparcstation 20s in a wardrobe |
21:56.43 | hali | blimey |
21:56.52 | hali | good machines in their days |
21:56.55 | hali | but not much fun now |
21:58.10 | z00dax | the ultra10 is the only machine I have, and tbh I dont think I want any more sparc machines |
21:58.20 | z00dax | unless its something I can actually replace my desktop with |
21:58.40 | z00dax | or if its a t2000 or something, but those cost a bomb |
21:58.56 | cpufreak | they're obsolete too |
21:59.18 | cpufreak | really can't' be arsed with sparc shit anymore, there is no point |
22:00.00 | cpufreak | sure they're 32 threads in 1U (T1000), but they're 32 very slow threads |
22:00.10 | wethrin | hali: I have a U60. If you have spare RAM...... |
22:00.27 | cpufreak | when I can have 8 cores of Xeon, or Optron in 1U instead, which are all very fast... its a non brainer |
22:00.44 | cpufreak | I've got a Sun Blade 2000 workstation if anyone wants it |
22:00.50 | cpufreak | but not quite for free |
22:00.59 | secretlondon | i've been thinking I could use the ultra 1 to build SPARC thungs on |
22:00.59 | secretlondon | things |
22:01.15 | cpufreak | its a Ultra III 1.06GHz, 2GB RAM, 73GB FCAL hard disk, and some fancy frame buffer |
22:01.33 | hali | wethrin: sure |
22:01.36 | wethrin | secretlondon: Only if you want to be able to go and have a holiday while something's compiling |
22:01.44 | wethrin | hali: Hurrah. Will you be at the meeting on the 15th? |
22:02.07 | hali | wethrin: i can take 2 18gb drives, 4x450mhz procs and 4gb ram from the 420r if needed |
22:02.08 | wethrin | cpufreak: That sounds like it could be fairly nippy |
22:02.14 | hali | wethrin: possibly, not sure |
22:02.22 | cpufreak | wethrin: yes. but its sparc. :) |
22:02.22 | z00dax | cpufreak: what would you consider a reasonable price ? |
22:02.26 | wethrin | I have drives, procs, and all that |
22:02.32 | wethrin | cpufreak: Yeah. It'd be faster than a 1GHz P3 :) |
22:03.06 | cpufreak | z00dax: um well I paid 700quid for it back in 2005 |
22:03.34 | hali | i *may* have some ran that fits in the b2000 |
22:03.38 | hali | from a 280r |
22:03.50 | hali | not sure if that is officially scrapped yet |
22:04.10 | cpufreak | ~25% of what I paid would be nice |
22:04.30 | hali | thats a very generous price |
22:04.39 | hali | i would value it at 300 or so |
22:04.52 | hali | but it is for a good cause |
22:05.07 | z00dax | I still cant afford it. :/ |
22:06.31 | hali | z00dax: what about wethrin's u60 and some of my old junk? |
22:06.52 | z00dax | i didnt think wethrin wanted to let go of his u60 ? |
22:07.18 | hali | ah, perhaps not? i read between the lines as if he offered it :) |
22:07.59 | hali | i mean i have the 420r if that is any good, it's pretty much a u80 in a bigger chassi |
22:08.06 | hali | with dual psu |
22:08.20 | Discordian | 420Rs are good kit |
22:08.26 | hali | i think i may even have two, one with a1000 array, if th recyclers haven't taken that |
22:08.34 | wethrin | hali: No, I was after memory :) |
22:09.31 | cpufreak | I sent him, and a couple of other guys there to bring back a couple of transit vans worth of kit. |
22:09.39 | secretlondon | wethrin: I know. and tbh I'd have to stick ultralinux on it and that makes openbsd looks easy to install and user friendly |
22:09.41 | wethrin | yay kit! |
22:09.50 | z00dax | hali: maybe :) how much ram does it have ? and a disk ? how about a display card ? |
22:09.53 | wethrin | OpenBSD *is* easy to install |
22:10.03 | cpufreak | mostly x4100s and x2200s |
22:10.03 | cpufreak | and a few more interesting things |
22:10.54 | hali | z00dax: maxed out, 4gb ram, 4 cpu, no frame buffer though, qfe ethernet and diff scsi pci cards |
22:11.05 | hali | 2x18gb but not sure i can give you the disks |
22:11.48 | z00dax | hali: that might work for me. I have a couple of disks 9gb sorts that could be used |
22:14.05 | hali | got some netra t1's too |
22:14.09 | hali | but they are fairly shit |
22:14.15 | hali | 1U boxes with 512megs |
22:14.28 | wethrin | I quite like them |
22:15.41 | wethrin | They're generally reliable little beasts |
22:15.59 | hali | yes but slow to do dev work on |
22:16.14 | wethrin | They weren't really designed as dev boxes |

22:58.53 | secretlondon | discordian; the reg says that the spec should have been announced today |
22:59.05 | Ch0Hag | "'course, I'm just blaming it on the fact that Vista sucks rocky mountain oysters, swallows, and savors the flavor." |
23:03.09 | Discordian | secretlondon: this ? http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/02/28/elonex_launches_one/# |
23:03.42 | secretlondon | ah I have the one from the 19/2 which is saying they will announce on the 28/2 |
23:04.23 | secretlondon | http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/02/19/elonex_guns_for_eee/ |
23:05.34 | Discordian | It's not nearly as powerful as the eee |
23:05.41 | secretlondon | "300MHz LNX Code 8 processor" |
23:05.52 | Discordian | and no one seems to know anything about the CPU |
23:05.52 | secretlondon | whatever wtf that is |
23:07.39 | Discordian | Hmmm |
23:07.48 | Discordian | It may be ARM |
23:10.23 | secretlondon | ooh |
23:10.30 | secretlondon | strongarm or something |
23:10.39 | Discordian | Possibly |
23:12.26 | Discordian | maybe FPGA arm core if it is produced by Elonex |
23:16.00 | Discordian | Hmmm |
23:16.33 | Discordian | Okay LNX is the stock symbol for Lennox Holdings |
23:17.09 | secretlondon | " The price is also achieved with a request to the |
23:17.11 | secretlondon | government to make the product VAT exempt & support from corporate sponsors whom are currently |
23:17.11 | secretlondon | going through the selection process. |
23:17.11 | secretlondon | " |
23:18.05 | secretlondon | so if the govt charge VAT (very likely) and they don't get corporate sponsorship it will be more than £99 |
23:18.05 | Discordian | heh |
23:18.23 | Discordian | well so it's gonna be >£99 |
23:19.05 | secretlondon | this is from the press release |
23:19.31 | Discordian | It doesn't look that impressive |
23:19.37 | secretlondon | there is 0 chance the govt will make it vat except |
23:19.38 | secretlondon | excempt |
23:19.52 | Discordian | quite so |
23:20.03 | secretlondon | it's in between a pda and a laptop |
23:20.19 | Discordian | laptop form factor |
23:20.25 | Discordian | pda tech |
23:20.29 | secretlondon | that's why I wonder if it's an arm, as 300Mhz is not dreadful for a pda /smart phone |
23:20.50 | Discordian | that's why I think it's arm too |
23:21.43 | secretlondon | their press stuff makes a big thing about it being open source |
23:21.56 | secretlondon | and some stuff about 1/100 will be donated to deprived children |
23:22.02 | Discordian | aye |
23:22.21 | Discordian | It's the OLPC market space |
23:22.32 | Nafallo | baah |
23:22.41 | Nafallo | I want the new EeePC :-) |
23:22.44 | secretlondon | well debian has an arm port |
23:22.49 | Discordian | except the OLPC is much more innovative |
23:22.55 | secretlondon | so ubuntu will have to use that to make ONEbuntu |
23:23.00 | Discordian | 1GB disk is small |
23:23.06 | secretlondon | if we are right |
23:23.08 | secretlondon | jeos? |
23:23.26 | Discordian | i dunno |
23:23.27 | secretlondon | 1gb it really isn't gonna run open office ;) |
23:23.28 | Nafallo | ehrm... |
23:23.40 | Nafallo | secretlondon: do you know what jeos is? |
23:23.52 | secretlondon | embedded linux I think? |
23:23.57 | Nafallo | secretlondon: no |
23:24.13 | Nafallo | secretlondon: ubuntu for vmware appliances. |
23:24.19 | secretlondon | oh ok |
23:24.40 | Discordian | My zaurus had some crap Office package |
23:24.55 | Discordian | in about 32Mb |

23:37.03 | Discordian | I know |
23:37.17 | Discordian | I've been looking too |
23:41.10 | Discordian | I'm not sure 330mHz would be good for say iplayer |
23:41.14 | Discordian | or youtube |
23:41.30 | Discordian | even assuming there's flash support |
23:42.55 | secretlondon | what on earth is linos? |
23:44.27 | Discordian | dunno |
23:45.11 | Discordian | Some PR droids mis spelling of Linux? |
