08:43.06ChoHagUbuntu. In under 1GB it supports "YouTube videos, porn, you name it".
08:43.36wethrinwoo
08:43.46wethrinjust don't try firing up VMware as well
08:44.14morsingChoHag: Are you on 10.4?
08:44.22ChoHagNo. I use Debian.
08:44.28morsingGood!
08:45.01ChoHagwethrin: Speaking of virtualisation, and as you're a BSD junkie, does any of the BSDs support the kvm cpu extensions?
08:51.09wethrinkvm, as in the Linux Kernel virtual machine?
08:58.28ChoHagYes.
09:03.17ChoHagaka vmx or svm, depending on whether you ask AMD or Intel.
09:05.18wethrinahh. Those. I believe FreeBSD does
09:05.38ChoHagOnly Free?
09:06.02ChoHagHas Theo not given it his blessing?
09:12.47z00daxxen can hvm, and *BSD should have Xen
09:15.53wethrinI don't know about Open, I don't follow the development that much

10:39.42kjsmorning
10:41.16morsingkjs: *sigh*
10:41.40kjsmorsing: ?
10:42.30morsingIt's just so disrespectful saying "'morning" like I have nothing better to do than snooze in bed all day
10:42.33kjschrist fruit sucks compared to burger and fries
10:42.41morsingFruit--
10:42.47morsingDoesn't do you any good either
10:43.32kjsfruit doesnt do you any good?
10:43.41morsingNot really
10:43.52kjsdo explain
10:44.02morsingMy family all lived to be in their 80s to 90s and never ate fruit
10:44.19morsingExplain what? Humans are meat eaters, not fruit eaters
10:44.42kjsso you think if i just ate meat
10:44.50kjsid be fine, there would be no issues there..
10:45.00antiphaseYou'd never shit and you'd get scurvy
10:45.14kjsrotl
10:45.14morsingMeat and fish, yes. It's been proven to work for thousands of years
10:47.12kjsmorsing: do you eat fruit?
10:47.59morsingNo

11:11.52boudiccasah, heres the voice of sanity
11:11.56dick_turpinAfternoon all
11:12.02boudiccasafternoon dick_turpin
11:12.35dick_turpingives boudiccas an inappropriate hug
11:13.18boudiccaswants a appropriate hug, theyre better for me
11:13.36boudiccasdick_turpin, hows the biscuit lady?
11:14.03dick_turpinAt home, fortunately
11:14.18boudiccasoh? is she on a late shift then?
11:15.43dick_turpinboudiccas: I was hanging out with women in Liverpool Friday/Saturday I took some crappy blurry pictures the wife's defence mechanism was to say "She looks geeky"
11:16.14boudiccas<grin>
11:18.33dick_turpinThere is no recession on in Liverpool I can tell you, there was thousands (Not hundreds) out on Friday night, loads of pubs all of them full to bursting, it was amazing
11:20.01ChoHagIs it any different when there is a recession on?
11:22.17dick_turpinDunno not been up there for, hm, 15 years?
11:22.38dick_turpinAnd even then it was a drive through
11:28.18ChoHagLiverpool is a drive through?
11:28.20ChoHagWhat do you get?
11:28.34morsingdick_turpin!
11:29.16morsinggives dick_turpin an inappropriate shag
11:29.26cpufreakdick_turpin: millions of people live in liverpool
11:29.27morsingwethrin: But they're not meant to be, nor is it desirable
11:29.35cpufreakif 0.1% of them are out, is that really surprising?
11:29.41cpufreakalso they get loadsa money for being on the dole
11:31.24dick_turpincpufreak: Yeah I know  (0.1%) however here in the Midlands pubs are closing at the rate of 2 a day, in my town we had 8 pubs 4 months ago we now have 1
11:32.06antiphaseBuy more beer then
11:32.33dick_turpinantiphase: I think allow smoking again might be more apt
11:33.28wethrinmorsing: Yes, they are meant to be. And it is desirable.

11:59.31ChoHagHow do Dell manage to get serial redirection so incredibly wrong?
12:00.14ChoHagAnd ssh.
12:00.31ChoHagI thought the backspace/delete/^h question was a done deal about a decade ago.
12:00.51ChoHagDell apparently don't agree.
12:01.18wethrinNeither does Solaris
12:06.53antiphaseBackspace and ^h are both CHR(8). Delete is CHR(127)
12:07.11antiphaseForward and reverse delete are a matter for your terminal :P
12:20.20ChoHagForward and reverse are not the only options.
12:20.52ChoHagYou forgot do nothing, insert a new character, insert a sequence of characters.
12:22.07ChoHagBah. Some fool is waxing lyrical on the HUGE difference between blu-ray and dvd.
12:22.23wethrinit's like TWICE the resolution!
12:23.11ChoHagI don't think it installs more rods and cones into my eyes though.
12:23.28wethrinno, but your eyes will be higher res than your TV screen
12:27.02morsingwethrin: Are you sure?
12:32.43wethrinYes
12:46.07antiphaseThe middle bit is anyway

13:20.43wethrinwell done

13:51.21ChoHagI find it amusing that the drac manual contains a section entitled "Using a Telnet Console".
13:51.34ChoHagIt should consist entirely of the word "Don't".

15:25.48ChoHagPrototypes should not have variable names associated with the types; i.e., void    function(int); not: void    function(int a);
15:25.58ChoHagIf Kernighan and Ritchie did it, then it must be right.
15:26.16ChoHagThere have been no C produced standards since. C was created perfect.
15:26.33ChoHags /produced standards/standards produced/
15:28.12wethrinyes, ChoHag...
15:28.30wethrinAre you reading 1st edition K&R?
15:28.40ChoHagOpenBSD coding style.
15:28.54ChoHagYes I read that sort of thing for entertainment. Who doesn't?
15:29.22ChoHagAnd what do you mean first edition. There were no later editions. Created perfect.
15:29.23Armanddoesn't
15:30.51wethrinMmm, old fashioned
15:31.49dick_turpinSomebody say something?
15:32.26Armandnope
15:52.38halianyone here with large scale asp hosting doing ipv6 at the moment?
15:52.45halior with a plan in place
16:25.37Leedsah, so sweet of my boss to believe phishing emails and ask me what to do about Google canceling our adwords account
17:59.12ChoHagWhy must everything on TV be a competition?
17:59.35ChoHagCan't we just watch people cook interesting dishes without someone having to win something or other?
17:59.57antiphaseVery little
18:00.14antiphaseMmm, accidental up arrow and Enter, but quite appropriate
18:00.29ChoHagheh
18:50.52ArmandChoHag: Heck.. give it a few weeks.. and I'll be posting my own cooking vids online. :)
