[00:43] <chains> anyone awake?
[00:43] <iNToIT> ?
[00:43] <Pie_0368> i will be out of the country fr 2 weeks, if i leave my comp on for 2 weeks
[00:43] <Pie_0368> and making my house on fire
[00:43] <Pie_0368> iam downloading a bit torrent thats why i wanna leave it on
[00:44] <iNToIT> Pie_0368 do you have a UPS with line conditioning features?
[00:44] <Pie_0368> nope
[00:44] <chains> was wondering if anyone here was knowledgeable of tablet/ultra micro pc's ?
[00:45] <iNToIT> generally your system should be fine unless it's a cheap piece of crap. But
[00:45] <Pie_0368> i have an 18 bucks power supply
[00:45] <Pie_0368> eben then the chances are low right
[00:45] <iNToIT> so unless you have a specific reason for thinking your PC will start a fire,
[00:45] <Pie_0368> for my psu to explode or omething
[00:45] <iNToIT> yea see, it's pretty obvious you're trolling
[00:46] <Pie_0368> no im not
[00:46] <Pie_0368> im leaving on jan 27th
[00:46] <iNToIT> and with an $18 PSU, I would shut the system down
[00:46] <Pie_0368> i got it off ebay
[00:46] <Pie_0368> 400 w
[00:46] <iNToIT> watt ever
[00:46] <iNToIT> ^_^
[00:46] <iNToIT> cheapo PSU, no UPS or line conditioner... don't leave unattended
[00:47] <chains> sounds like he already knows this
[00:47] <iNToIT> get a line conditioner.. you can find the for $30
[00:47] <iNToIT> the/one
[00:47] <iNToIT> a UPS with line conditioning functionality costs more, but they're worth hav
[00:47] <iNToIT> chains, yes
[00:48] <iNToIT> I'm sure he does
[00:48] <Pie_0368> is a line coniditioner for power surges and stuff?
[00:48] <Pie_0368> i think i have that
[00:49] <iNToIT> a line conditioner isn't the same thing as a surge supressor. A line condit
[00:49] <iNToIT> those power strips you get that just handle surges, are not line conditioner
[00:50] <chains> i'm looking for information on tablet and/or ultra micro pc's
[00:50] <iNToIT> what kind of info chains. You know by now to be more specific

[01:19] <Joops> When buying a new laptop from dell, is there any negotiating room if I was to
[01:19] <oddalot> if you are good at bartering
[01:19] <estranger> cant hurt to try
[01:19] <estranger> ive gotten dells from dell like that, but on their business end
[01:19] <estranger> i know now they are offering 30% off most servers..
[01:19] <estranger> so might be able to pull some consumer strings
[01:20] <estranger> *deals from dell
[01:20] <Joops> I'm buying dell home or dell outlet, a notebook.
[01:20] <Joops> been watching deals for 2 months waiting
[01:20] <iNToIT> Joops yes, Dell sales will haggle over the phone, IF you give them legitimat
[01:20] <Joops> well, can you give me an example or two
[01:20] <iNToIT> joops basically, aim for 35% off the notebook configuration of your choice,
[01:21] <Joops> im in no rush to just go buy, ive been waiting real long already and im poor
[01:21] <iNToIT> basically, dell offers 20% coupon codes, plus if you sign up for DPA you can
[01:21] <Joops> well iNToIT, i know exactly what I want and what I will pay, and I will get b
[01:21] <iNToIT> from there, they occassionally offer an extra 5% off code that's stackable
[01:22] <iNToIT> now..
[01:22] <iNToIT> based on that
[01:23] <iNToIT> You tell them how you know what you want, you know how much you can afford t
[01:23] <iNToIT> then let them spec out the system for you
[01:23] <chains> dell recently started allowing shipping machines with no OS too, right?
[01:23] <iNToIT> they always did that
[01:23] <iNToIT> they'll give you DOS
[01:23] <chains> i thought i read something recently that they just started doing something
[01:23] <Joops> I would like to take advantage of that to save money
[01:23] <chains> like that
[01:24] <iNToIT> note, they make money on the shit they load on your system WITH windows
[01:24] <Joops> I already have windows xp professional i dont want to buy a 2nd windows
[01:24] <iNToIT> by opting not to get windows, their cost/benefit analysis changes and the po
[01:25] <Joops> id be happy if i could save $60 or whatever by not getting windows
[01:25] <iNToIT> during negotiations, they actually have more room to save you $ if you take
[01:25] <Joops> then I'd just wait for the right deal like i have been
[01:25] <Joops> id really like to see a deal like we had last month at the outlet, for 10% of
[01:25] <Joops> thats what im waiting for, that would save me $95 on the system and $35 on th
[01:25] <iNToIT> if windows is $80, and they knock off $12% because you allow them to leave w
[01:25] <iNToIT> then you save more taking the windows
[01:26] <iNToIT> dell usually has free shipping offers going
[01:26] <Joops> they dont offer that to hawaii
[01:26] <iNToIT> shipping isn't a big issue with them
[01:26] <Joops> we only have fed ex next day air
[01:26] <iNToIT> ouch
[01:26] <Joops> that costs $70
[01:26] <chains> that blows

[01:53] <zzap> I'm I'm worried if I unplug it it'll do it's badness thing again
[01:53] <zzap> And just hang.
[01:53] <Joops> its a light, its not an essential component
[01:53] <zzap> I'm not sure if I can reboot consistantly at the moment.
[01:53] <zzap> Yes, I know.
[01:53] <Joops> well, reboot and try
[01:53] <zzap> But the last time I put it in/took it out it borked my PC, remember?
[01:53] <zzap> Try?
[01:53] <Joops> and if it freezes, unplug the light and see what happens
[01:53] <zzap> Well what happens if it doesn't work?
[01:54] <Joops> ^
[01:54] <zzap> What do you suggest if it goes and hangs again?
[01:54] <zzap> Oh yah
[01:54] <zzap> I was doing that for hours
[01:54] <zzap> It wasn't plugged in and nothing worked.
[01:54] <zzap> Just kept freezing.
[01:54] <zzap> Then I plugged it back in
[01:54] <Joops> ah sounds like your working well now!
[01:54] <zzap> And all of a sudden it works now.
[01:54] <Joops> and you have a light inside to toot
[01:54] <zzap> It must've been a voltage thing, then
[01:54] <zzap> I've already got lights in there.
[01:54] <Joops> yep. maybe your drawing too much from the poewr supply?
[01:55] <zzap> I want the cathode out, I want it not to mess with my system again.
[01:55] <zzap> Well obviously not
[01:55] <zzap> Because it didn't wor keven when it was out.
[01:55] <Joops> what did the light cost
[01:55] <zzap> Like $12
[01:55] <Joops> oh, do as you wish
[01:55] <zzap> But I don't care about the light
[01:55] <zzap> I'm going to throw it out anyways.
[01:55] <zzap> But if I take it out
[01:55] <zzap> There is a chance I won
[01:55] <zzap> t be able to boot up again
[01:55] <zzap> Because it makes it bork
[01:55] <Joops> so dont take it out!
[01:56] <zzap> But I don't want it in there!
[01:56] <zzap> If it made my comp bork in the past
[01:56] <Joops> if you take it out there is a chance you wont be able to boot up again
[01:56] <zzap> I'm not gonna just leave it in there
[01:56] <zzap> But if I leave it in there's a chance it'll make it bork again in the future.
[01:56] <zzap> And I'm back to square one.
[01:56] <iNToIT> *sigh*
[01:56] <iNToIT> dude
[01:56] <Joops> but if you remove it you might not be able to boot!
[01:56] <zzap> That's why I need the advice!
[01:56] <Joops> lol, its a light, i say leave it
[01:56] <zzap> Just leave it, you say?
[01:57] <zzap> Hrm
[01:57] <zzap> I dunno
[01:57] <zzap> I don't trust it
[01:57] <Joops> it should affect your pc in any adverse way other than the only way is if its
[01:57] * zzap looks at light
[01:57] <Joops> its like saying your dome light in your car is causing your car not to start
[01:57] <chains> heh
[01:57] <zzap> Well it obviously was!
[01:57] <iNToIT> zzap removing the light has NOTHING to do with the system not booting. If th
[01:57] <zzap> Becuase it was workking UNTIL I put it in.
[01:57] <zzap> And only worked when I put it IN again!
[01:57] <Joops> I'd say if it was, then you bocked up the install and unplugged something
[01:57] <zzap> The chances of those two things.
[01:57] <zzap> It's got to be that.
[01:57] <chains> you probably unplugged or screwed something up when you installed it
[01:58] <iNToIT> or have a loose cable that you nudges
[01:58] <iNToIT> *nudged
[01:58] <zzap> Hmm.
[01:58] <iNToIT> or loosened a PCI device in the slot
[01:58] <iNToIT> or the ram
[01:58] <Joops> yep
[01:58] <Joops> well he didnt touch the ram
[01:58] <zzap> Because when I put it in before
[01:58] <zzap> It like
[01:58] <Joops> he installed a bloody lightbulb
[01:58] <zzap> Screw my PC badly
[01:58] <iNToIT> he could have accidentally touched the ram
[01:58] <zzap> I mean
[01:58] <chains> how does the light plug in?
[01:58] <zzap> like
[01:58] <zzap> I plugged it in, yeah
[01:58] <zzap> And put it on
[01:58] <iNToIT> zzap, *enough* of this
[01:58] <zzap> It lit up for one second
[01:59] <zzap> And then turned the whole PC off.
[01:59] <Joops> wait a second
[01:59] <zzap> Like, it had short circited the whole PC!
[01:59] <chains> what kind of light?
[01:59] <zzap> Like, everything on the PC went off
[01:59] <zzap> Even the monitors!
[01:59] <Joops> you installed it with the computer ON? you didnt turn off the computer when y
[01:59] <chains> what did it plug into?
[01:59] <Joops> JESUS CHRIST
[01:59] <zzap> I had to turn it off at the switch at the back!
[01:59] <chains> haha
[01:59] <blue^moon> chains, scroll back
[01:59] <zzap> And then turn it back on
[01:59] <zzap> And then it worked again
[01:59] <zzap> It's a bad cathode!
[01:59] <iNToIT> GROUND yourself before touching anuything inside your pc case, then watch wh
[01:59] <zzap> I got to get rid of it.
[01:59] <zzap> Nothing's loose.
[01:59] <zzap> I didn't touch anything else.
[02:00] <Joops> dude you probably screwed up fuses somewhere plugging stuff in without poweri
[02:00] <zzap> Ok
[02:00] <chains> you installed it whileyou had the computer on
[02:00] <chains> wtf
[02:00] <zzap> No, no
[02:00] <zzap> It was off
[02:00] <zzap> But once I plugged it in
[02:00] <zzap> Then turned it on
[02:00] <Joops> lol right??
[02:00] <iNToIT> zzap I told you what to do
[02:00] <zzap> It lit up for 1 sec
[02:00] <iNToIT> no more about it in here
[02:00] <zzap> And then borked
[02:00] <zzap> Ok
[02:00] <chains> sounds like you have a short somewhere in the system
[02:00] <zzap> I'll turn off
[02:00] <zzap> Take it out
[02:00] <zzap> Turn back on
[02:00] <zzap> Yes?
[02:00] <Joops> good luck dude, that light needs a warranty repair
[02:00] <chains> short a brain that is
[02:01] <zzap> lol
[02:01] * zzap takes deep breath
[02:01] <iNToIT> <iNToIT> turn it off, GROUND yourself before touching anuything inside
[02:01] <zzap> Wish me luck, heh.
[02:01] <chains> you're gonna need it
[02:02] <zzap> lol
[02:02] <zzap> I dunno if I even wanna touch it.

[03:02] <chains> i've never had a problem with IE, 6 or 7
[03:02] <Phongie> kaspersky
[03:02] <Phongie> or pc-cillin
[03:02] <blue^moon> yeah, that's another one
[03:02] <chains> blue^moon , i think that was lithuanian
[03:02] <blue^moon> there's really so many
[03:02] <POTPlant> zonealarm worked extremely well for me too

[03:02] <chains> http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=85.206.161.35
[03:02] <Phongie> personally i prefer kaspersky, next is pc cillin
[03:03] <Triona> norman maybe.
[03:03] <chains> i just use the same old sites for the most part
[03:03] <chains> trustworthy sites
[03:03] <Phongie> chains: i barely surf now :(
[03:03] <chains> ditto
[03:03] <welshie> anyone help with this ( pc duron 1.6 , 256mb installed mce 2005 and firewa
[03:03] <chains> even like now when it's dead at work
[03:03] <chains> i check digg.com every 20 mins or so
[03:04] <chains> cnn.com
[03:04] <Phongie> i don't even know why ih ave 4 pcs and 2 laptops =/
[03:04] <Phongie> only time i really use my pc is when i encode home filmed movies onto dvd
[03:04] <chains> welshie , did the monitor work before? did you do anything new before starti
[03:04] <Phongie> like from a wedding
[03:04] <welshie> im using it now on different pc
[03:04] <Phongie> welshie: are you not getting a signal from the monitor?
[03:05] <welshie> no signal just goes to sleep
[03:05] <Phongie> wleshi: onboard graphics? graphics card?
[03:05] <chains> welshie, are you sure the pc works ?
[03:05] <welshie> onboard graphics
[03:05] <Phongie> then most likely the grpahics is the problem
[03:05] <welshie> i have even taken my card out of my machine and tried still nothing
[03:05] <chains> re-seat the graphics card or exchange it with one you know works
[03:05] <Phongie> welshie: you've tried putting a video card in the affected machine?
[03:06] <welshie> yeah
[03:06] <Phongie> welshie: could be the board is dead
[03:06] <Phongie> hmm im surprised u even got MCE 2005 to install
[03:06] <welshie> how do i tell if the board is dead
[03:06] <Phongie> i thought minimum requirements was 512MB of ram?
[03:06] <Phongie> welshie: take the cpu out, and put it in another board
[03:06] <Phongie> if it fires up, then the board is dead
[03:07] <welshie> only problem i got is i havent got another socket 462 pc
[03:07] <Phongie> welshie: you can probably find another board for like 10$
[03:07] <Phongie> if you look hard enough
[03:07] <Phongie> if you can't find another board, maybe its time to upgrade?
[03:08] <Phongie> infact, how did you even get MCE to install on a Duron?
[03:08] <Phongie> Durons uses pc 133 did they not?
[03:08] <welshie> how woould i tell if the processor has gone
[03:08] <Phongie> welshie: if the processor has gone bad
[03:08] <Phongie> then the system speakers
[03:08] <Phongie> would've went off
[03:09] <chains> usually if anything serious is wrong you'll get some kind of POST response
[03:09] <Phongie> chains: unless themotherboard is dead :)
[03:09] <Phongie> in which u would get nothing
[03:09] <Phongie> :P
[03:09] <Phongie> like he seems to be getting

[03:09] <cuntbag> how do i change my nick?
[03:09] <Phongie> welshie: but why arey ou installing a 130$ OS in a 10 year old pc? -__-
[03:09] <Phongie> even if you got it up and running, you wouldn't be able to do anything at a
[03:10] <chains> usually a power LED on the mobo as well
[03:10] <welshie> well the psu fan is working and the mobo fan is working , hard drive spin
[03:10] <chains> what OS do you have installed on it?
[03:10] <Phongie> chains: MCE 2005
[03:10] <Phongie> lol
[03:11] <chains> what is that
[03:11] <chains> heh
[03:11] <Phongie> you do not know?

[03:11] <rockin> :/
[03:11] <chains> haven't really played with that

[03:14] <Goofi> somethin else,
[03:14] <Goofi> how can i disable sound on flash movies
[03:14] <Goofi> in web browser
[03:14] <welshie> not sure
[03:14] <chains> if you don't remember then you probably didn't
[03:15] <chains> was gonna say, try remoting to it after it boots
[03:15] <Phongie> chains: but he said he's formatted the drive
[03:15] <Phongie> so he has no os on his drive
[03:15] <chains> welshie , you don't even see a bios screen or anything when you first turn i
[03:15] <welshie> no not a thing
[03:16] <welshie> the hd spins cd etc but nothing happens to monitor
[03:16] <Phongie> welshie: then you are not getting any signal
[03:16] <chains> and you've tried using another graphics card?
[03:16] <Phongie> welshie: obvioiusly the monitor works
[03:16] <welshie> yes tried that
[03:16] <Phongie> welshie: what kind of card? agp?
[03:16] <Phongie> pci?
[03:16] <welshie> im using the monitor now
[03:16] <chains> then there's something wrong with your motherboard

[03:17] <welshie> onboard graphics card on mobo
[03:17] <chains> could be anything but whatever it is, it's causing your video to fail
[03:17] <welshie> i tried putting and old ati card in there
[03:17] <chains> and what kind of card did you try replacing it with?
[03:17] <welshie> still wont startup the screen
[03:17] <chains> and you're sure the old ati card works?
[03:17] <welshie> ati 9200
[03:17] <chains> you're positive that card works?
[03:18] <welshie> im testing it now with this pc that im using
[03:18] <Phongie> chains: from what he said its from the pc hes using
[03:18] <Triona> when are those brain/computer interfaces supposed to come out :P
[03:18] <welshie> so it works okay
[03:18] <Phongie> Triona: in 2107 :D
[03:18] <Phongie> welshie: is the card an AGP or PCI?
[03:18] <Triona> damn... can I be put in suspended animation until they come out ? :P
[03:18] <Phongie> if its AGP try getting a cheap PCI video card to check
[03:18] <Phongie> Triona: no :D
[03:18] <ider-> hey jujeh :P
[03:19] <Phongie> unless you have 100,000$ then yes u can freeze urself
[03:19] <welshie> not getting any beeps from motherboard either guys
[03:19] <chains> maybe your PSU is dying
[03:19] <Phongie> welshie: what do you plan on doing with your duron?
[03:20] <Phongie> personally i think if you don't really need it, just throw it away
[03:20] <welshie> its for grandfather to use on broadband thats all it was for
[03:20] <Phongie> welshie: i think its better to just buy your grandfather a 300$ dell
[03:20] <Phongie> as seeing the motherboard is most likely hosed
[03:21] <Phongie> and finding a 462 motherboard is probably out of the question
[03:21] <welshie> how would i know if its the motherboard gone , no beeping etc ?
[03:21] <Phongie> welshie: yes most likely that

[04:17] * Osc changes topic to 'General Help: JUST ASK! NO Illegal/Bots/Scripts/Homework/MSGing Ops
[04:18] <FlopSter> carson: if the msi doesn't have prompts you could use pstools to execute i
[04:18] <FlopSter> or you could use remote desktop
[04:18] <Carson> hmmm, thats what i've just started doing (pstools)
[04:18] <Carson> just trying to figure it all out
[04:18] <Carson> but remote desktop is what we already do
[04:18] <Carson> well, kvm software stuff, but same diff
[04:19] <FlopSter> http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/psexec.mspx
[04:19] <Carson> the overall thing is, its 24 live servers, and 7 DR servers
[04:19] <Carson> and if i could make things faster, it'd make everyones life so much easier
[04:20] <FlopSter> if the msi has like a silent install you could run it with pstools
[04:20] <FlopSter> alot of msi's you can pass a /s flag to it
[04:20] <FlopSter> and just execute it with psexec with a /s option
[04:21] <Carson> cheers, I'll have a look into it
[04:21] <FlopSter> http://www.appdeploy.com/articles/commandline.asp#msi
[04:21] <FlopSter> this is as possability too
[04:23] <FlopSter> one way to easily test to see if the package has a silent install is to ju
[04:23] <FlopSter> if you dont see it run well there ya go :)
[04:23] <FlopSter> then just use psexec to execute a command with the /s argument
[04:26] <Carson> hmmm, alot of our msi's need to be interactive, and there doesn't appear to
[04:26] <Carson> :(
[04:26] <FlopSter> yeah that it wont
[04:27] <FlopSter> probably just easy to use remote desktop or whatever ip kvm software you u
[04:27] <Carson> yeah, thats what we're doing already, but due to the extra steps and what no
[04:28] <FlopSter> pretty much
[04:28] <Carson> i was hoping to automate the backing up of the required files and then apply
[04:28] <FlopSter> so whats wrong with rolling out the app through group policy?
[04:28] <welshie> how to tell if processsor is dead ?
[04:28] <FlopSter> welshie: try it in another computer
[04:29] <Carson> well, basically its part of a domain which is now fucked, group policy chang
[04:29] <FlopSter> so rebuild the domain...no good to have a dead domain
[04:29] <welshie> i havent got anoth mobo the same
[04:29] <Carson> we're midmigration onto another domain, but that'll be many months
[04:29] <FlopSter> ah
[04:29] <FlopSter> welshie: what does it do now?
[04:29] <FlopSter> does it beep at you?
[04:30] <welshie> no beeps
[04:30] <FlopSter> fans starting up?
[04:30] <FlopSter> usually it'll beep at you saying no cpu
[04:30] <welshie> psu starts , cpu cooler starts drives spin
[04:30] <welshie> no output for display thou
[04:30] <welshie> says no signal
[04:30] <FlopSter> get the boot beep?
[04:30] <FlopSter> or did it normally beep on boot?
[04:30] <welshie> not even the boot beep
[04:31] <FlopSter> not a motherboard with post lights?
[04:32] <welshie> explain post lights ?
[04:32] <FlopSter> like alot of computers now adays have 4 lights on the back that tell you w
[04:32] <FlopSter> and if there is no CPU one of the light combinations in the back will tell
[04:32] <FlopSter> just have to look in your motherboard manual
[04:33] <chains> FlopSter , this is an older machine
[04:33] <chains> a duron
[04:33] <welshie> no lights on back of this one
[04:33] <FlopSter> so throw it away and buy a new one :P
[04:33] <chains> yah, that's what i'm saying
[04:33] <chains> he's already spent more time on this machine than he should have :)

[12:54] <blc> Tropic-Ll: the best choice would be *nix's dd
[12:54] <blc> it merely dumps input to output
[12:54] <Tropic-Ll> i see
[12:54] <Tropic-Ll> does dd stand for somethign or can i just search for nix dd
[12:54] <blc> *nix means linux/unix
[12:55] <blc> ddis the name of the program
[12:55] <blc> err dd is
[12:55] <blc> and it'smost likely already installed
[12:55] <blc> most *nix distros have it as part of the main release
[12:57] <Tropic-Ll> nevermind backing it up, i'll just format it and hope nothing important i

[12:58] <blc> that also works..

[13:00] <blc> no idea.. never done a secure erase..

[13:00] <Tropic-Ll> i'm assuming just zero it out once
[13:00] <zAlanM> dban = nice
[13:01] <zAlanM> wouldn't be more than a couple of hours
[13:01] <Tropic-Ll> haha holy shit
[13:01] <blc> just zeroing it out isn't really secure erase
[13:01] <Tropic-Ll> never seen something like that before
[13:02] <Tropic-Ll> so you just put it in a computer and boot and it secure erases any hard d
[13:02] <Osc> yup
[13:02] <zAlanM> it asks questions first, but yes
[13:02] <Osc> spiffy-doodles
[13:02] <Tropic-Ll> oh, it says automatic, i was assuming no questions
[13:02] <Tropic-Ll> that's good
[13:02] <zAlanM> if you don't answer them, it does assume defaults and move on
[13:02] <Tropic-Ll> oh
[13:03] <zAlanM> i think it was a 2 minute timeout though
[13:04] <zAlanM> anyone here ever apply .msp patches to an .msi?

[13:06] <zAlanM> when I try it, the log tells me that the version is wrong
[13:06] <zAlanM> of course I can run the installer all the way through and then run the patch
[13:07] <zAlanM> but I can't use GPO to push .msp
[13:07] <belter> if the compressed binary is currupt in the msi extracting the patch on top o

[13:08] <belter> if they both work you should be able to combine the two

[14:33] <blc> a year ago, amd was the clear choice..
[14:34] <[Qc]-Doum> are those only on Dell PCs ? ive seen lots of publicity about Core 2 duo
[14:34] <blc> nope
[14:34] <blc> go to www.newegg.com and see for yourself
[14:36] <IamKing> an E6600 is the sweet spot for Core 2 Duo's...it's about $300

[14:43] <Grape207> If I run Win XP home and just use WORD / EMAIL / INTERNET would I benefit

[14:44] <Grape207> thanks for the info / help.

[14:47] <Darn> well my quad core seems a lot faster than my dual core
[14:47] <Darn> but the quad has more ram
[14:47] <eBeavis> 4300 > 6600
[14:48] <blc> human impression on cpu speed doesn't really haev to mean anything.. logically
[14:49] <[Qc]-Doum> where are the best places to buy Systems? Are there specific stores where
[14:49] <blc> [Qc]-Doum: that depends..
[14:49] <Darn> well when I run the same set of stored procedures on the dual core vs the quad
[14:49] <Darn> if I'm doing it on a few million records
[14:50] <blc> [Qc]-Doum: where i'm located there are local shops that compete on prices, and
[14:50] <Darn> so my impression can be backed with actual times
[14:50] <LWake> how can I get ICO files to show their icon as their icon (as they should) on
[14:50] <blc> Darn: that's because what you're doing is multithreaded.. try the same ona sin
[14:51] <Darn> why would I use a quad core cingle threaded?
[14:51] <Darn> err single
[14:51] <blc> my point is.. more cores _could_ make a difference if the application is meant
[14:51] <[Qc]-Doum> I dont know why but i like Dell systems :) Are they considered Expensive
[14:51] <blc> if it isn't a quad core would be slower because it's clocked at a slower clock
[14:52] <Darn> actually my quad and the dual are both 2.66ghz
[14:52] <blc> [Qc]-Doum: not really.. they are quite normally priced..
[14:52] <blc> Darn: then a single threaded application would perform just about the same on b
[14:53] <Darn> yea but I have a lot less overhead on the dual to fire up more threads
[14:53] <Darn> I have yet to have the quad be unresponsive where as the dual gets bogged down
[14:53] <blc> that's debatable, but i will agree a quad is able to handle more work per clock
[14:54] <blc> i've never had a dual cpu system becomeunresponsive unless it locks up with mem
[14:54] <Darn> although what I'm running now is slamming the dual quads
[14:54] <Darn> Ruuning some mathces against 1.14 billion names

[15:43] <ark_> no
[15:44] <sparr> why doesnt efnet have +x?
[15:44] <Osc> sparr, You should read this web page, "Why EFnet Has No Registration Services",
[15:44] <sparr> why doesnt efnet have +x?
[15:44] <deww> sparr: +x?
[15:44] <Osc> ijiot
[15:44] <blc> deww: server side vhost
[15:45] <ark_> I wanted Osc to actually give relevant information
[15:45] <blc> i believe it's a undernet userflag..
[15:45] <Osc> ark_: *all* the info I have given you is relevant
[15:45] <ark_> instead of irrenlevant crap about registration and a link to a reverse DNS loo
[15:45] <ark_> *irrelevant
[15:45] <sparr> Osc: ok, i read it. now, since you replied like you did, i take that to impl
[15:46] <Osc> ark_: with no host, how the hell is the server to find one?
[15:46] <ark_> I HAVE a hostname
[15:46] <ark_> oh
[15:46] <sparr> +x hides your hostname from other users
[15:46] <Osc> ark_: as that page so painfully points out, you, in fact, do not
[15:46] <ark_> THERE IS NO +x on EFnet
[15:47] <ark_> um... yes I do. other servers locate it just fine
[15:47] <Osc> there are NO SERVICES on efnet. none. no w, no x no +x
[15:47] <Osc> none of that silly crap
[15:47] <sparr> ark_: he is nitpicking over you saying "hostname" instead of "ip address or h
[15:47] <sparr> Osc: wtf does +x have to do with services?
[15:47] <ark_> exactly
[15:47] <sparr> its a usermode, like +i
[15:47] <sparr> or +g
[15:47] <ark_> Osc is just being 'tarded
[15:47] <Osc> sparr: what does "+x" do?
[15:47] <Osc> please help me understand
[15:48] <sparr> Osc: it removes your IP address from whois. also from a few other places, bu
[15:48] <sparr> ip address / hostname
[15:48] <Osc> thats a service. we don't have services here.
[15:48] <Osc> happy?
[15:48] <sparr> wtf?
[15:48] <sparr> its no more a service than +g
[15:48] <sparr> or +i
[15:48] <stikupHM> Damn no ram lol
[15:48] <sparr> or +w, for that matter
[15:49] <Osc> it changed your host/ip address info
[15:49] <ark_> it just hides your hostmask
[15:49] <Osc> thus, service
[15:49] <ark_> it doesn't change anything, it juct HIDES it from other users
[15:49] <sparr> we have a magical "service" that hides me from people not in this channel, ca
[15:49] <ark_> *just
[15:49] <Osc> hideing stuff = service
[15:49] <ark_> oh, so +i is a service?
[15:49] <sparr> if hiding stuff = service, then +i is a service, and thus we have services
[15:49] <ark_> you have +i
[15:49] <sparr> stop contradicting yourself
[15:50] <Osc> no, +i removes your info from a list,it changes noting about your whois info
[15:50] <sparr> that would make channelmode +p and +s services too
[15:50] <Osc> ditto what I just said
[15:50] <ark_> Osc, so does +x
[15:50] <sparr> +x also removes your info from a list. "info" being "ip address"
[15:50] <Osc> no, that changes your host, thus it's a service
[15:50] <sparr> no, it doesnt change your host
[15:50] <ark_> that would truly be magical
[15:50] <LWake> how can I get ICO files to show their icon as their icon (as they should) on
[15:51] <deww> hax hax
[15:51] <Osc> sparr: what would +x do to "c-68-54-228-10.hsd1.tn.comcast.net" ?
[15:51] <sparr> ark_: cloaking on some networks actually does change your host, so not magica
[15:51] <sparr> Osc: hide it.
[15:51] <Osc> so, a service
[15:51] <deww> it would mangle the host
[15:51] <sparr> Osc: what would +i do to "sparr"?
[15:51] <Osc> which is a service
[15:51] <Nilisco> LWake, are some of them not showing up correctly?
[15:51] <ark_> jesus...
[15:51] <Osc> sparr: to your host? nothing
[15:51] <Osc> thus, not a service
[15:51] <sparr> deww: true, most cloaking implementations DO provide an alternative host. bu
[15:51] <sparr> Osc: what does it do to my name in /names?
[15:52] <ark_> you're breakin' my balls, Osc. You're breaking my balls.
[15:52] <Osc> thats a list
[15:52] <Osc> ark_: your being an idiot
[15:52] <Osc> don't like it? /quit
[15:52] <deww> sparr: http://forum.efnet.org/viewtopic.php?t=1773
[15:52] <sparr> Osc: /whois is also a list. a list of data about a user. i want my ip remov
[15:52] <ark_> no, I'm joking with you.
[15:52] <LWake> Nilisco: the desktop icons for ICO files don't show.
[15:52] <ark_> YOU'RE the one being a fucktard
[15:52] <sparr> deww: reading in the background, cant find the right part. who posted it/
[15:52] <Osc> sparr: easy: /quit
[15:53] <blc> haha
[15:53] <sparr> deww: or, what page?
[15:53] <sparr> Osc: who needs /quit when people like you have /kick ?
[15:53] <ark_> Osc never breast fed
[15:53] <LWake> Nilisco: it shows the open with icon
[15:53] <Nilisco> LWake, xp shows them by default? is ico just a icon file?
[15:53] <deww> sparr: it's a wishlist
[15:53] <sparr> deww: oh, thought you were saying it was already there and had been rejected
[15:53] <deww> you can post your suggestion(s) there
[15:53] <deww> it's there
[15:53] <deww> no acceptance / rejection
[15:53] <LWake> Nilisco: it doesn't show any, just the open with icon
[15:54] <sparr> the real answer to ark's question is because efnet, generally, doesnt use unr
[15:54] <Nilisco> LWake, well, you can try rebuilding XP's icon cache with tweakXP, that migh
[15:55] <sparr> time to shut down and start diagnosing bad hard drives. wish me luck.
[15:56] <LWake> I'll try that and let you know if it worked
[15:58] <Nilisco> LWake, sorry, I meant tweakUI
[15:58] <Nilisco> !google tweakUI
[15:58] <RBL> Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP @ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa
[16:01] <zzap> Hmm, where it ga.comcast.com?
[16:01] <Osc> georgia
[16:01] <zzap> Osc: Thanks.
[16:02] <LWake> Nilisco: the ICO extension was associated with some program which I uninstall
[16:02] <Nilisco> ah, okay.
[16:03] <Nilisco> Have you tried associating it with windows picture and fax viewer?
[16:03] <Nilisco> that seems to be what mine is set to, and it shows the icon previews correc
[16:03] <LWake> that's the thing...
[16:03] <LWake> it is associated with it but it doesnt show the icon
[16:04] <LWake> http://fackue.ifastnet.com/icon.jpg
[16:05] <Nilisco> LWake, I'm honestly not sure what would cause that, but you could try runni
[16:06] <Osc> LW: might wanna look at this, too http://tinyurl.com/289tkc
[16:06] <LWake> Nilisco: thanks
[16:06] <Nilisco> try Osc's solution first
[16:07] <Osc> that worked for someone where tweakui didn't
[16:07] <LWake> too late heh
[16:07] <Nilisco> eh, mine can't do anything bad, nothing to worry about
[16:07] <LWake> nope
[16:10] <LWake> can I get a registry export from one of you?
[16:10] <LWake> HKCR/.ico
[16:10] <Nilisco> only if you can tell me where to upload it, as my dcc doesn't work
[16:11] <LWake> let me finish reading heh
[16:11] <Nilisco> I'll just use pastebin, one second.
[16:12] <Nilisco> http://nili.pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=867547
[16:14] <LWake> looks like I didn't need it
[16:14] <dollpartz> what
[16:14] <LWake> Osc: thanks that link worked
[16:15] <Osc> great
[16:15] <dollpartz> whats a good 3d grafix channel, if they got one on this network
[16:15] <bitshift> could anyone recommend a reputable cd/dvd writing software other then Nero
[16:15] <dollpartz> ya, I hate nero
[16:16] <dollpartz> I just use a simple one, easy CD creator
[16:16] <deww> easy cd

[16:25] <zitek> nah
[16:25] <zitek> ;P
[16:25] <lskdsa> I have a question bout the legal system regarding websites ...
[16:26] <WyldOcsar> you can ask if you like, if someone knows the answer they will help
[16:27] <lskdsa> I have bought a .com domain 3 months ago... but I actually never checked if
[16:29] <lskdsa> he said that he forgot to register the website although I have a reciept of
[16:29] <WyldOcsar> you can bring suit against the registrar.
[16:29] <lskdsa> the guy told me that during the 3 months period a guy from canada bought the
[16:29] <lskdsa> that made me angry and properly pissed of
[16:29] <lskdsa> my question ..
[16:30] <WyldOcsar> ask for the money back. if you dont get a refund sue him. (period)
[16:30] <lskdsa> shouldnt I e able to sue them ? legally speaking, if they dont retreive the
[16:30] <lskdsa> I dont want a refund the money is not an issue ..
[16:31] <lskdsa> I am running a business and that website is essential for my business
[16:31] <blc> you would have to ask a lawyer for that
[16:31] <WyldOcsar> you can sue for damages if you can prove them.
[16:32] <lskdsa> any advice ?
[16:32] <lskdsa> do you think I have a case?
[16:33] <lskdsa> and worth the hassle ?
[16:33] <lskdsa> or shall I just be patient and se how they resolve the problem
