10:13.32 | ChoHag | Bah. Lunix people suck. |
10:13.42 | ChoHag | <Bug> The system beep is now too loud. |
10:13.54 | wethrin | heh |
10:13.54 | ChoHag | <Weenies> Uhhhh. Well we'll turn it off by default. |
10:14.02 | wethrin | TURN THE SPEAKER DOWN |
10:14.23 | ChoHag | Fucking idiots. I want it to beep. I just want it to beep quietly LIKE IT USED TO. |
10:14.48 | ChoHag | Well I'd like to, but further suckery means that all the other channels are inordinately quiet. |
10:15.09 | wethrin | Have you thought about using an OS writen by professionals? |
10:15.32 | ChoHag | I'd consider it if there was one. |
10:16.14 | wethrin | I'm quite happy with my desktop Unix(TM) system |
10:16.37 | DiscordianUK | Solaris is cool |
10:17.41 | ChoHag | 'This isn't a "me too" comment. I wanted to let you know that this problem exists for me in a fresh installation of Jaunty.' |
10:18.23 | ChoHag | Human beings, for want of a better term, never cease to amaze and amuse me. |

10:40.30 | ChoHag | 'I don't like most package management systems out there and am glad that Slack doesn't use one (well, if you don't count pkgtool).' |
10:49.52 | wethrin | That's not a package manager. It's just a script that runs tar -x |
10:50.13 | wethrin | also, you can get slapt-get, which is like apt-get, but for slackware |
10:52.19 | Mohan | I have seen small/large caps, so how many servers can you connect on 15A socket ? |
10:52.38 | wethrin | Anywhere between one and lots |
