10:48.41morsingRemind me again, 802.3 is no longer used, is it?
10:48.52morsingOr is that the one that *is* used?
10:55.30haliit is indeed very used
10:55.46halior rather it's substandards are
10:56.21morsinghali: When network installing I can set the adapter to 'standard' or '802.3' - no idea what standard is then
10:58.56hali802.3 is very vauge
10:59.15halistandard is probably token ring :)
10:59.25halii presume you are playing with some weird AIX setup
11:05.18gregj-ukhey folks
11:05.46gregj-ukwhen I have a sentence that says something like 'when one runs blah, he has to expect foo'. Sould it be 'he' or 'it' right after the coma ?
11:14.51*** join/#gllug andronicus7_ (n=dave@87-198-168-154.ptr.magnet.ie)
11:16.35ChoHagIt should be one.
11:17.01ChoHagOr don't use that expression in the first part of the sentence.
11:17.17ChoHagThese days 'he' is generally taken to an asexual pronoun.
11:17.21ChoHagUnless you're a feminist.
11:18.09morsinghali: No and no. And no adapters I've ever heard of can do both ethernet and tokenring
11:27.18kjalilwhat was that terminal program that allows you to send the same command to multiple windows? I know KDE's Konsole does it, is there anything else?

11:58.25morsingErmm...
11:58.31morsingProbably not
11:58.32ChoHagHmm. I probably shouldn't have done that on a live server...
11:59.03morsingThat'll do if for other users as well and random apps
11:59.54morsingChoHag: What's for lunch?
12:00.01ChoHagI don't know.
12:00.11ChoHagI'm thinking chinese buffet.
12:00.28morsingChoHag: Noodle Nation?
12:01.08ChoHagI've no idea what it's called.
12:06.17morsingIt's called Noddle Nation
12:06.21morsingNoodle
12:09.31ChoHagI see.
12:13.13morsingChoHag: I'm going to the water station, can I get you anything?
12:13.44ChoHagI'm good thanks.

15:19.17Mohani would really appreciate it.
15:55.18MohanDiscordianUK:

15:57.46ChoHag> Reiserfs is the file system used.

16:06.54*** part/#gllug huw-l (n=huw@w1199.insrv.cf.ac.uk)
16:15.38MohanChoHag: whats wrong with reiserfs ?
16:16.41ChoHagPretty much everything, but let's start with its mkfs^H^H^H^Hfsck.
16:17.46Mohani had no issues whatsoever, the system went down due to powerfailures

16:27.15Armandrly ?
16:44.38ChoHagHow do people manage to be so spectacularly useless?
16:45.03ArmandLike me? :P
16:45.08ChoHag'Required parameters in kdc.conf missing while initializing the Kerberos context' means 'Missing or incorrect parameters in the kdc.conf file', so I need to 'Ensure that the kdc.conf file has the appropriate information present'.
16:45.29ChoHagWhere would we be without HP to help us out like this?
16:46.08ArmandSadly, I'll have to remain useless in this regard.

21:28.44kjsmorsing: !
21:29.20morsingkjs!
21:31.44kjsim impressed with this google chrome
21:31.46kjsits rapid
23:07.17DiscordianUKfor linux?
23:15.35wethrinkjs: Yeah, Chrome is nice and nippy compared to other browsers
23:39.47kjswethrin: ff3 is getting there tho.
23:40.19z00daxisnt there some monkey thing that is a much faster javascript engine for firefox ?
23:40.47wethrinkjs: Probably takes more memory, though
23:41.00wethrinPersonally, I much prefer Webkit's rendering to Gecko's
23:41.29DiscordianUKseamonkey ?
23:41.41z00daxtracemonkey spidermonkey / tracemonkey etc
23:41.55z00daxthere are a few such bits in the making
23:42.57DiscordianUKspidermonkey is javascript stuff
23:45.15kjsit does feel faster... tbh, however FF has more features
23:45.57wethrinit suffers from feeping creaturism?
23:46.07kjsthink chrome wins on memory over ff if you have one tab open, if you open multipul tabs it uses more than ff... or so I read.
23:50.45wethrinYou'll have to have a lot of tabs open for that
23:51.00wethrinAlso, chrome actually frees up memory when you close a tab
23:51.17DiscordianUKis chrome released for linux yet?
23:51.19wethrinFirefox developers have apparently never been introduced to the free() function call
23:51.24wethrinNope
23:51.30DiscordianUKdid i miss that?
23:51.35wethrinAlthough apparently it can be got workign under Wine
23:52.15DiscordianUKchromium is free, (C) codeweavers
23:52.29DiscordianUKwhich  is wine
23:53.43DiscordianUKit looked a fright
23:55.05kjslol
