| 18:09.48 | loid | hi! |
| 18:09.58 | prpplague | howdy |
| 18:10.19 | loid | somebody knows an floppy based distribution thats run X and rdesktop? |
| 18:11.03 | prpplague | loid: there are a couple, as well as supposedly commercial dist that is in violation of GPL |
| 18:11.35 | prpplague | loid: just do a quick search on freshmeat for rdesktop |
| 18:11.50 | loid | k |
| 18:12.19 | loid | thx |
| 18:12.21 | prpplague | loid: np |
| 18:12.31 | prpplague | loid: might want to look into using ltsp as well |
| 18:12.44 | prpplague | loid: http://www.ltsp.org |
| 18:13.12 | prpplague | loid: you can use rdesktop with that very easily |
| 18:14.09 | prpplague | loid: going to be using it in on a lot of homogenis computers? |
| 18:22.21 | loid | hm |
| 18:22.42 | loid | my idea is use only one floppy to access de MS Terminal Services |
| 18:22.49 | loid | in 120 machines |
| 18:27.57 | loid | i dont found nothing in freshmeat |

| 20:07.21 | chouimat | hi prpplague |
| 20:08.23 | file | hey prpplague |
| 20:09.00 | prpplague | howdy |
| 20:09.09 | file | waddup dude? |
| 20:09.14 | prpplague | ssdd |
| 20:09.18 | prpplague | at work |
| 20:09.23 | file | work is always fun |
| 20:09.28 | prpplague | uh no |
| 20:09.35 | file | that was sarcastic |
| 20:09.38 | prpplague | not in the last year it hasnt been |
| 20:09.44 | prpplague | file: it used to be |
| 20:10.12 | prpplague | till they shut down the r&d dept |
| 20:10.19 | file | wth did they do that anyway |
| 20:10.44 | file | management. |
| 20:10.44 | prpplague | several reasons |
| 20:10.58 | prpplague | 1. we stopped developing any of our own products |
| 20:11.08 | prpplague | 2. they are moving to winblows |
| 20:11.28 | prpplague | 3. they are getting rid of thin clients |
| 20:11.39 | prpplague | 4. out sourcing heavy hardware dev |
| 20:12.24 | prpplague | file: basically they got all the products they wanted out of the r&d and didn't want anymore |
| 20:12.43 | file | bastards |
| 20:12.47 | file | let's go on a killing spree |
| 20:12.49 | prpplague | file: they figure if they need bug fixes or some minor modifications they can contract out for them |
| 20:13.06 | prpplague | file: but since they have the core complete, no need to keep anyone |
| 20:14.32 | prpplague | file: all the major hardware vendors (i.e. doitbest, truevalue, orgill) have signed exclusive contracts with m$ to make their web sites and electronic purchasing m$ only |
| 20:15.29 | prpplague | file: so all the small vendor are following |
| 20:16.07 | prpplague | file: by this time next year, you wont be able to go through a single hardware vendor without a winblows pc |
| 20:16.29 | file | prpplague: dear me |
| 20:18.34 | prpplague | companies like american standard, andersen windows, and glidden have all of their product information in winblows only applications |
| 20:18.48 | prpplague | file: even running them in VMware is difficult |
| 20:19.37 | prpplague | file: they have all these little checks that it runs at startup to see if its a "properly installed version of windows" |
| 20:19.46 | file | O.o |
| 20:20.08 | prpplague | file: just a nice way of saying they want to make sure your not running it under another os or under an vm |
| 20:21.05 | prpplague | file: m$ has also been targeting wedding/baby shower registery systems |
| 20:21.36 | prpplague | file: basically writting into the vendor apps where it won't interface with non winblows registery programs |
| 20:22.47 | prpplague | file: its been a bad year in the retail sector IMHO for linux, m$ has gotten a real strangle hold on some of these niche markets |
| 20:34.14 | chouimat | hi prpplague |
| 20:34.20 | prpplague | chouimat: lo |
| 20:35.12 | chouimat | prpplague: will probably have a nice xmas this year ... enough money to be ok 2 or 3 months |
| 20:35.42 | prpplague | chouimat: congrads |
| 20:37.29 | chouimat | prpplague: yup but I need a better job and a new GF |
| 20:39.27 | jnork | I need any job and any GF |
| 20:39.44 | jnork | ... well, maybe not just any |
| 20:41.57 | jnork | I'd like the GF to have a big butt. |
| 20:43.01 | file | jnork: you like big butts and you can not lie? |

| 20:43.55 | jnork | Something like that. |
| 20:44.50 | jnork | http://www.missthickness.com <== NOT work safe |
| 20:45.37 | chouimat | jnork: and also when your roommate's 6 years old daughter is near |
| 20:46.38 | jnork | *nod* So take the warning as a general statement. |
| 20:47.25 | jnork | http://www.buttbytr.com is also not work safe, and probably not 6yo roommate's daughter safe either. |
| 20:48.25 | chouimat | jnork: I prefer www.lesbians4free.com ;) |
| 20:48.30 | jnork | heh |
| 20:48.46 | chouimat | jnork: and it's not worksafe too |
| 20:48.54 | jnork | *nod* I'd figured. |
| 20:49.22 | jnork | Of course, I do have two daughters here. Of my own, it happens. |
| 20:49.42 | chouimat | jnork: the day after thanksgiving ... you lazy americans ;-P |
| 20:49.45 | jnork | That's OK, one is watching TV and the other is playing on her computer. |
| 20:49.56 | jnork | chouimat, did I mention that I didn't have a job? |
| 20:50.05 | jnork | My wife is working at hers, tho. |
| 20:50.33 | jnork | And she worked yesterday too. |
| 20:51.08 | chouimat | jnork: I was joking too ;) |
