02:07:17 | volkam | dump |
03:07:53 | CoolMan[Not_Paying_Attention] | hey coolerQ, i'm watching a movie right now, but my AIM name is "d192168177" |
03:51:11 | CoolMan[Not_Paying_Attention] | is seeing what /me does |
03:51:36 | CoolMan[Not_Paying_Attention] | says, "Hmmmm, I see." |
03:56:19 | CoolMan[Not_Paying_Attention] | Hey, guys, I'm making an important post in the general forums. |
04:21:47 | [57th]cneal | ?? |
04:30:33 | CoolMan[Not_Paying_Attention] | hi |
04:30:52 | CoolMan[Not_Paying_Attention] | EVERYBODY CHECK THE FORUM WHEN YOU SEE THIS!!! |
04:31:06 | CoolMan[Not_Paying_Attention] | goodbye |
04:47:05 | [57th]cneal | ?? |
04:47:52 | Snake | allo |
04:48:26 | [57th]cneal | hi |
04:49:20 | Snake | hhow is you? |
04:50:04 | [57th]cneal | Oh, Box in TuxBox sounds too much like the Box in XBox |
04:50:31 | Snake | nah |
04:50:40 | Snake | i was just reading that post |
04:51:09 | [57th]cneal | Aint that briliant. |
04:52:00 | Snake | aint what brilliant? |
04:53:07 | Snake | we cant change the name |
04:53:14 | Snake | but its not up to me |
04:55:10 | [57th]cneal | Could always call it the TuxCube :) |
05:00:42 | Snake | lol |
05:00:43 | Snake | lame |
05:11:33 | [57th]cneal | Could call it Another BOX but different and better |
05:12:36 | [57th]cneal | TuxBox needs a built in clock |
05:12:52 | Snake | lol |
05:12:54 | [57th]cneal | idea! |
05:12:55 | Snake | it has |
05:13:00 | [57th]cneal | It does? |
05:13:06 | Snake | its got a computer motherboard |
05:13:10 | Snake | that means it has bios |
05:13:13 | [57th]cneal | With the lcd screen |
05:13:18 | Snake | and bios will display time on the tuxOS |
05:14:05 | [57th]cneal | Like a VCR clock that dosent blink 12:00 on the LCD screen |
05:15:19 | [57th]cneal | and a alarm would be cool too. Could be the next $300 alarm clock =) |
05:15:20 | Snake | i suppose |
05:15:21 | Snake | lol |
05:21:07 | [57th]cneal | 181 |
05:21:33 | [57th]cneal | Damn, I guess no one liked my The Blob idea |
05:22:26 | [57th]cneal | What do you think about the $300 alarm clock? Should I post it before the internal speakers get ripped out? |
05:23:37 | Snake | yeah go for it |
05:23:43 | Snake | its a pretty good idea |
05:23:52 | Snake | but then we would need a battery |
05:24:06 | [57th]cneal | It does have a battery |
05:24:10 | Snake | like 7 batteries |
05:24:14 | Snake | re chargeable |
05:24:22 | [57th]cneal | Well, they just keep their system on all night |
05:24:30 | [57th]cneal | People do that anyway |
05:24:37 | Snake | a small motherboard battery wouldnt run it for long |
05:24:55 | Snake | yes they keep their computers on all night |
05:25:01 | Snake | not thier gaming consoles |
05:25:13 | Snake | this wont even look like a computers |
05:25:20 | Snake | itll look like and work like a console |
05:25:40 | [57th]cneal | Well, they keep their vcrs on all night |
05:25:49 | Snake | but we are not ususing a vcr |
05:25:53 | Snake | we are usuing a tv |
05:26:08 | Snake | not many people keep them on all night and even if they did |
05:26:15 | Snake | it wouldnt restore the batteries |
05:27:19 | [57th]cneal | I was thinking just a simple alarm clock program running in the background that could be set if they wanted to and would operate only when the system was on and would ring using the PC internal speaker |
05:28:39 | Snake | think batteries |
05:29:19 | Snake | do you want the tyime to show up even when its off? |
05:29:26 | Snake | itll be to big to be an alarm clock |
05:29:50 | [57th]cneal | Well, the time would slow up on the lcd screen |
05:30:01 | [57th]cneal | sahow |
05:30:06 | [57th]cneal | hehe |
05:30:06 | [57th]cneal | :) |
05:30:15 | [57th]cneal | show |
05:31:11 | [57th]cneal | Theres going to be an lcd screen for the mp3 player so a clock and alarm could also be used with the lcd screen and internal speakers |
05:31:27 | [57th]cneal | Really starting to sound like a clock radio now :) |
05:31:34 | Snake | who said there is going to be a lcd screen? |
05:32:44 | [57th]cneal | LCD Display. This is required for playback of DVD and MP3 without the use of a television set. These can be driven with a parallel port. The schematics are attached at the end of this document. The price for the LCD is $10.00 for quantity one and scales down with more quantities. |
05:33:01 | [57th]cneal | () |
05:33:02 | Snake | who said it? |
05:33:07 | Snake | is it on the site? |
05:33:12 | [57th]cneal | oops |
05:33:14 | [57th]cneal | (http://www.tuxboxproject.com/tuxbox-hardspec.htm) |
05:33:29 | Snake | hmmm cause when i had to design the tuxbox i wasent told |
05:33:31 | Snake | o-well |
05:33:55 | [57th]cneal | Also going to have a remote |
05:34:10 | [57th]cneal | Sounds cool, only $10 |
05:34:19 | Snake | it might have a remote |
05:34:26 | Snake | but we might scrap that idea |
05:34:32 | [57th]cneal | Aww |
05:34:57 | [57th]cneal | Only 34 for the remote |
05:35:25 | Snake | yes but it all adds up in the end |
05:36:00 | [57th]cneal | Guess you could always sell it as an external pece using one of the USB port |
05:36:16 | Snake | yeah |
05:36:58 | [57th]cneal | Does the Motherboard come with an external speaker? |
05:37:31 | Snake | dunno |
05:37:41 | [57th]cneal | Oh ok |
05:37:45 | Snake | we could add a radio |
05:37:52 | Snake | as radios are very cheap to make |
05:37:58 | [57th]cneal | I'll go post the clock radio |
05:38:06 | [57th]cneal | alarm clock |
05:38:07 | [57th]cneal | :) |
05:38:07 | Snake | k |
05:38:08 | Snake | lol |
05:47:33 | [57th]cneal | $300 alarm clock posted |
05:47:57 | [57th]cneal | TuxBox is going to be woot |
06:29:42 | Snake | i g2g |
06:29:44 | Snake | cya |
06:36:22 | [57th]cneal | ok goodnight |
06:37:14 | Snake | nit |

07:28:39 | | [57th]cneal: i don't know |
07:28:39 | [57th]cneal | ibot, do you think travis is still afk? |
07:29:55 | | wish i knew, [57th]cneal |
07:29:55 | [57th]cneal | ibot, do you think travis got lost when he went to town or maybe he found a someone down there and maybe thats why he is afk? |
07:30:10 | | [57th]cneal: excuse me? |
07:30:10 | [57th]cneal | ibot, goodnight |
11:38:24 | travis|afk | almost deuce |
12:24:55 | travis|afk | what the hell is cuhmba? |
12:25:00 | travis|afk | or do i want to know? |
12:25:17 | Bakemono | my old old old childhood nick rot13'd |
12:25:20 | Bakemono | :P |
12:25:35 | travis|afk | hmmmm |
12:25:44 | travis|afk | i cant sleep.... |
12:25:55 | travis|afk | it is 6:30am and i am pissed |
12:27:24 | Bakemono | hey |
12:27:34 | Bakemono | I don't think I'll be gettin' to sleep any time soon |
12:27:36 | travis_143cw | why is chanserv being so retarted |
12:27:37 | Bakemono | I'm working on a song |
12:27:43 | Bakemono | chanserv is always retarted |
12:28:34 | travis_143cw | well chanserv at least lets me change the topic again... |
12:30:13 | travis_143cw | so what is up with Snake? |
12:30:18 | Bakemono | ? |
12:30:29 | Bakemono | what about him? |
12:30:51 | travis_143cw | the kid cant code but somehoe says he is starting new game projects every 2 days... this confuses me |
12:31:01 | travis_143cw | somehoe=somehow |
12:31:02 | Bakemono | keyword being kid |
12:31:13 | Bakemono | he's still in the I want to be a ninja stage |
12:31:26 | Bakemono | just play along |
12:31:27 | travis_143cw | i realize this |
12:31:39 | travis_143cw | he actually mentioned ninjas when i last talked to him |
12:31:44 | Bakemono | haha |
12:31:49 | travis_143cw | i am not joking either |
12:31:57 | travis_143cw | he wanted me to code something last night |
12:32:03 | travis_143cw | for "his game" |
12:32:30 | Bakemono | speaking of people's games |
12:32:39 | travis_143cw | yes? |
12:32:40 | Bakemono | my rpg engine is coming along nicely |
12:32:56 | Bakemono | the user can move around a 3d model |
12:33:00 | Bakemono | it's nifty |
12:33:05 | travis_143cw | a group of my friends want to start a game, all of them except one are going to my college for programming |
12:33:13 | travis_143cw | send me the source! |
12:33:21 | Bakemono | you can grab it off cvs |
12:33:24 | travis_143cw | or a binary |
12:33:27 | travis_143cw | oh ok |
12:33:33 | Bakemono | http://sf.net/projects/proteusrpg/ |
12:33:36 | Bakemono | click on the CVS link |
12:33:41 | Bakemono | somewhere near the top on the right |
12:33:44 | Bakemono | it has instructions |
12:33:50 | Bakemono | even I don't remember how to use anonymous cvs... |
12:34:59 | travis_143cw | cool |
12:35:04 | travis_143cw | i will compile later |
12:35:13 | travis_143cw | i am on my win32 box right now |
12:35:16 | Bakemono | it requires SDL atm |
12:35:20 | Bakemono | because I'm a lazy bastard |
12:35:25 | Bakemono | but I'll probably take it out |
12:35:27 | travis_143cw | old piece of shit running piece of shit windows.... |
12:35:49 | travis_143cw | my friends are thinking about incorporating clanlib in the game |
12:35:55 | travis_143cw | www.clanlib.org if you dont know |
12:35:58 | Bakemono | it's useful, but in the long run it's just another dependency when you are only using it for initialization |
12:36:07 | Bakemono | screw clanlib |
12:36:28 | Bakemono | how skilled are they? |
12:36:32 | Bakemono | you should get 'em in here |
12:36:34 | Bakemono | we can talk |
12:36:35 | travis_143cw | clanlib already has most of the low level, boring shit written |
12:36:44 | travis_143cw | well they all go to my college |
12:36:49 | travis_143cw | i shouldnt say all |
12:36:56 | travis_143cw | one goes to the U of M |
12:37:10 | travis_143cw | one is 17 and he is good with 3d models |
12:37:35 | travis_143cw | he is still in high school |
12:37:42 | Bakemono | cool |
12:38:04 | travis_143cw | then me, my really good friend jeff, scott and dustin are in for sure |
12:38:16 | travis_143cw | us 4 goto brown |
12:38:38 | Bakemono | get 'em in here |
12:39:04 | travis_143cw | we all mostly communicate via AIM and ICQ |
12:39:11 | travis_143cw | not sure if they are down with irc |
12:39:39 | Bakemono | bah |
12:39:45 | Bakemono | tell 'em they can suck bakemono's ballz |
12:39:53 | travis_143cw | they all use windows, but said they would start with linux as soon as everquest works on it.... |
12:40:10 | Bakemono | ... |
12:40:12 | Bakemono | d00d |
12:40:20 | Bakemono | you are hangin' with the wrong crowd |
12:40:44 | travis_143cw | i only know 3 people in my town that use linux.... 2 use it cause of me... |
12:40:49 | Bakemono | from now on, if any of 'em say that everquest is a roleplaying game, smack 'em for me |
12:41:01 | travis_143cw | i hate everquest for some reason |
12:41:09 | Bakemono | same here |
12:41:20 | travis_143cw | i have been playing a development online rpg for a while now |
12:41:28 | travis_143cw | called el kardian |
12:41:31 | Bakemono | cool |
12:41:39 | travis_143cw | sorta cool, obviously still beta though |
12:41:51 | travis_143cw | i kinda got my character stuck in a wall... |
12:41:52 | Bakemono | me and a few people might be developing a mmorpg in the future |
12:42:15 | Bakemono | and if I do contribute, I'm gonna make sure there is some real role playing goin' on |
12:42:20 | travis_143cw | fun stuff! |
12:42:47 | Bakemono | that way I can get some local peeps playing |
12:42:51 | travis_143cw | we want to make a game about the town that we live in... "The streets of New Prague" |
12:43:01 | Bakemono | I dare not contribute to another everquest clone |
12:43:22 | Bakemono | what kind of game? |
12:43:24 | travis_143cw | the thing that is funny though is that our town really sucks and is a small boring, mostly hick town |
12:43:40 | travis_143cw | maybe a first person shooter, we dont know |
12:43:46 | travis_143cw | we are still coming up with ideas |
12:43:58 | travis_143cw | but i dont want it to be a standard fps |
12:44:12 | travis_143cw | i want something almost like driver and shooter |
12:44:24 | Bakemono | say what? |
12:44:32 | travis_143cw | i mean driver and grand theft auto |
12:44:42 | travis_143cw | sorry i am tired |
12:44:44 | Bakemono | mmm...grand theft auto... |
12:44:59 | travis_143cw | something with "missions" or something |
12:44:59 | Bakemono | I just let my friend borrow my copy of gta2 earlier today |
12:45:47 | travis_143cw | like steal a car and find "joe blow" and kill him and stuff like that |
12:46:08 | travis_143cw | or just new prague stuff, like you lose health if you dont have a smoke every 10 minutes |
12:46:26 | travis_143cw | or get all drunk or high and drive around with blurred vision and reactions |
12:46:50 | travis_143cw | maybe some new prague death matches |
12:47:25 | travis_143cw | and if that new prague idea is not what we want, we have looked into "backyard football" |
12:47:36 | travis_143cw | we could have lots of fun with that |
12:47:51 | Bakemono | hmm |
12:48:38 | travis_143cw | i think clanlib looks decent |
12:48:54 | Bakemono | I've never checked it out |
12:49:51 | travis_143cw | i have done a little research on it and have talked to a couple people who use it, seems pretty nice |
12:50:13 | travis_143cw | plus is works for linux and windows |
12:50:33 | travis_143cw | so i will make sure it compiles for linux while those other bitches get it to work on windows |
12:50:40 | travis_143cw | but i am going to try sleep again |
12:50:41 | travis_143cw | see ya |
12:51:01 | Bakemono | ok |
12:51:03 | Bakemono | nite |
12:51:07 | travis|afk | g'night |
13:28:10 | Bakemono | d'oh |
13:28:12 | Bakemono | oh |
21:44:31 | [57th]cneal | Hi everyone :) |
21:52:41 | CoolMan | hey yo! |
21:55:19 | [57th]cneal | Hi |
21:55:25 | CoolMan | sup |
21:55:32 | [57th]cneal | :) |
21:55:48 | CoolMan | you check the forums recently? |
21:55:52 | [57th]cneal | Not much, just eating cerial |
21:55:54 | [57th]cneal | I dod |
21:56:20 | CoolMan | ? |
21:56:23 | CoolMan | did? |
21:56:24 | [57th]cneal | I check and I looked at my FF3 forum and it looks just the way it did last night |
21:56:40 | CoolMan | you see the name thing? |
21:56:50 | [57th]cneal | Yes |
21:56:51 | CoolMan | what do you think? |
21:56:56 | [57th]cneal | I think |
21:57:05 | [57th]cneal | Well |
21:57:24 | [57th]cneal | I dont know |
21:57:44 | CoolMan | you don't know? |
21:58:02 | CoolMan | you think the tuxbox sounds like a ripoff? |
21:58:19 | [57th]cneal | If I were to suggest a namechange, I would use the old consoles name and say well that was a mistake that we did when we said that we were not going to continue on the project :) |
21:58:41 | CoolMan | haha |
21:58:46 | CoolerQ | hi folks |
21:58:47 | CoolMan | yeah |
21:58:49 | CoolMan | hey |
21:59:01 | CoolMan | yeah, the Indrema is a good name |
21:59:15 | [57th]cneal | Well, yeah but Cube is a box too I think right? |
21:59:21 | CoolerQ | umm, the indrema is dead now |
21:59:37 | CoolerQ | TESTING HOLD ON |
21:59:39 | CoolerQ | TESTING |
21:59:41 | CoolerQ | WEIRD |
21:59:44 | CoolerQ | :) |
21:59:47 | CoolerQ | IDENTIFY |
21:59:51 | CoolMan | but, still we should change the name. (if only because Microsoft can make our lives living hell.) |
21:59:52 | CoolerQ | weirder |
21:59:53 | CoolerQ | :) |
21:59:58 | CoolMan | what was that? |
22:00:21 | CoolerQ | for some reason, INDENTIFY was highlighted when I messaged nickserv |
22:00:37 | CoolMan | so? |
22:00:41 | CoolerQ | you know, that annoying thing that says the nickname is registered |
22:00:45 | [57th]cneal | Could call it the Tux another kind of box not like MS XBox |
22:00:47 | CoolerQ | so how'd they do that? |
22:00:51 | CoolerQ | :) |
22:00:54 | CoolMan | hmmm |
22:00:57 | CoolerQ | testing %bTEST |
22:01:04 | CoolerQ | testing \btesting |
22:01:11 | CoolerQ | testing &btesting |
22:01:13 | CoolerQ | ugh |
22:01:19 | CoolerQ | does anyone know the ascii code |
22:01:30 | [57th]cneal | |
22:01:32 | CoolMan | i'm really a basic IRC user |
22:01:38 | CoolMan | i know /me |
22:01:41 | CoolMan | and /nick |
22:01:42 | CoolMan | ;) |
22:01:55 | [57th]cneal | %k |
22:02:16 | CoolMan | anyway I like the name TuxAED, what do you guys think? |
22:02:23 | CoolerQ | nope |
22:02:26 | CoolerQ | too technical |
22:02:36 | CoolMan | you got ideas? |
22:02:46 | CoolerQ | maybe |
22:02:49 | CoolMan | we have to come up with somthing cool |
22:02:54 | CoolerQ | but I think we should talk to travis |
22:03:01 | CoolMan | yeah |
22:03:25 | CoolMan | i definately agree, but maybe we could have a list he could choose from? |
22:04:24 | [57th]cneal | The problem is if we change, we are going to have to explain to every single person why we did that or else they are going to think that we just dies or something |
22:04:35 | CoolMan | nono, here's the deal |
22:04:56 | CoolMan | we are the TuxBox Project, we make the TuxAED (or somthing) |
22:05:13 | CoolMan | like the project dolphin |
22:05:24 | CoolMan | ended up, GameCube |
22:05:29 | CoolerQ | what's wrong with tuxbox tho? |
22:05:35 | CoolerQ | i thought we were using it before MS |
22:05:45 | CoolerQ | of course, that would be very hard to prove |
22:05:52 | CoolMan | that's the point |
22:05:54 | CoolerQ | since MS could say we had someone on the inside |
22:06:02 | CoolerQ | ugh |
22:06:10 | CoolerQ | does anyone know how to hard wrap text? |
22:06:11 | CoolMan | it sounds like a rip |
22:06:18 | CoolMan | ??? |
22:06:22 | CoolerQ | you know |
22:06:26 | CoolMan | in what |
22:06:29 | CoolMan | the IRC? |
22:06:29 | CoolerQ | put enter after every 70 letters |
22:06:32 | CoolerQ | no |
22:06:40 | CoolerQ | i'm trying to print with cat | lpr |

22:06:46 | CoolMan | oic |
22:06:54 | CoolMan | i'm bad with printers in linux |
22:06:55 | CoolMan | ;) |
22:06:56 | CoolerQ | and it keeps cutting off the end |
22:07:06 | CoolMan | hey i'm gonna have to leave, but |
22:07:48 | CoolMan | see the thing is, we will have to explain to every person that we try to sell these to, about the name, and nobody wants to do that |
22:09:27 | CoolerQ | yeah |
22:09:31 | CoolerQ | TuxBox is short and nice |
22:09:43 | CoolMan | well, i agree |
22:09:47 | CoolMan | i like the name |
22:09:58 | CoolMan | except that it sounds like a rip |
22:10:05 | [57th]cneal | Could call it the IV Box |
22:10:11 | CoolMan | and microsoft would jump on that |
22:10:28 | CoolMan | even if we could convince the public |
22:11:35 | CoolerQ | hmm |
22:11:40 | [57th]cneal | Travis or someone needs to get a picture of that system running or something |
22:11:41 | CoolerQ | i think i got an idea |
22:12:05 | CoolMan | i'm working as fast as i can |
22:12:11 | CoolerQ | PenguinEngine |
22:12:23 | CoolerQ | Announcing a brand new product by the TuxBox Project, it's PenguinEngine! |
22:12:24 | CoolerQ | YAY! |
22:12:25 | CoolerQ | :) |
22:12:28 | CoolMan | hmm, post your ideas in the forum |
22:12:37 | CoolMan | that's good, but i have to go |
22:12:39 | CoolMan | cya |
22:12:46 | CoolMan | ;) |
22:12:47 | CoolerQ | bye |
22:12:55 | [57th]cneal | Could call it the Travis,bakemono,cooler,cool,ibot&cneal console =) |
22:13:09 | CoolerQ | umm, ibot isn't a human |
22:13:12 | | privet, CoolerQ |
22:13:12 | CoolerQ | ibot, hello |
22:13:15 | | [57th]cneal? |
22:13:15 | [57th]cneal | ibot? |
22:13:24 | CoolerQ | ibot, help |
22:13:40 | [57th]cneal | Well, bots are a living form too |
22:13:44 | CoolerQ | where can i find x? |
22:13:51 | CoolerQ | :) |
22:13:54 | | somebody said x was used because it exists, many toolkits exist for it and people know it |
22:13:54 | CoolerQ | ibot, where can I find x? |
22:14:11 | [57th]cneal | I found GC price is now below $300, like $280 |
22:14:12 | CoolerQ | darn it, someone redefined x |
22:14:21 | CoolerQ | it's supposed to be www.xxx.com :) |
22:14:29 | | coolerq: wish i knew |
22:14:29 | CoolerQ | ibot, where can i find xxx? |
22:14:36 | CoolerQ | ;) |
22:14:39 | [57th]cneal | Sounds like a porno site |
22:14:48 | | OK, CoolerQ. |
22:14:48 | CoolerQ | ibot, xxx is at www.xxx.com |
22:14:51 | CoolerQ | :) |
22:14:57 | | somebody said xxx was at http://www.xxx.com |
22:14:57 | CoolerQ | ibot, where is xxx? |
22:15:05 | CoolerQ | i love fiddling with bots |
22:15:12 | CoolerQ | do you have an aim client? |
22:15:42 | [57th]cneal | me? |
22:15:44 | CoolerQ | ya |
22:15:44 | [57th]cneal | no |
22:15:46 | CoolerQ | oh |
22:15:48 | CoolerQ | too bad |
22:15:53 | CoolerQ | akirabot is hilarious |
22:16:30 | [57th]cneal | Whats that? |
22:17:57 | CoolerQ | it's a chatbot i wrote |
22:18:03 | CoolerQ | you should look at the logs |
22:18:09 | CoolerQ | lemme create a username for you |
22:18:13 | CoolerQ | what password do you want? |
22:18:27 | [57th]cneal | abcdeg |
22:18:32 | [57th]cneal | f |
22:18:34 | [57th]cneal | dammit |

22:19:31 | CoolerQ | password: abcdefg |
22:19:47 | CoolerQ | Best Viewed With Microsoft Internet Exploder 5.5 |
22:19:48 | CoolerQ | TM |
22:20:07 | [57th]cneal | oh |
22:20:24 | CoolerQ | all that really works is logs and status |
22:20:34 | CoolerQ | and it should be okay with netscape |
22:20:41 | CoolerQ | although it looks crappy |
22:22:08 | CoolerQ | you're probably gonna get 404s unless you do logs or status |
22:22:53 | [57th]cneal | oh |
22:23:57 | [57th]cneal | :) |
22:52:38 | othy | hi |
22:53:07 | othy | i've been here a couple of times before, but no one seems to talk at all |
22:55:01 | othy | any way, i have a idea for you guys, i'm an ibm stockholder, as well both my Grandfathers and my mother worked for IBM back when they were tring to fit computers into rooms. |
22:55:40 | othy | i know that if we wanted them they have power3 chip really cheap right now |
22:56:09 | othy | not to mention IBM is really big on the Open Source movement right now |
22:57:04 | othy | in case you don't know the power3 chip is the same chip in current Mac's and the GameCube |
22:59:35 | othy | any one here |
22:59:38 | othy | ? |
23:02:08 | CoolerQ | i'm here |
23:02:11 | CoolerQ | are you still? |
23:02:28 | othy | yeah |
23:02:37 | CoolerQ | umm, the power3 chip ain't in macs |
23:02:45 | CoolerQ | it's called PowerPC |
23:02:50 | othy | macs and the gamecude |
23:02:50 | CoolerQ | i dunno what's in the game cube |
23:03:03 | othy | a modified power3 chip |
23:03:10 | othy | it's called geko |
23:03:25 | CoolerQ | heard of that |
23:03:41 | othy | it's 64-bit chip as well a 128-bit version |
23:03:59 | CoolerQ | has a mac, though, and he knows it doesn't have power3 |
23:04:09 | CoolerQ | the new macs have G4 chips |
23:04:12 | CoolerQ | PowerPC G4 |
23:04:24 | CoolerQ | maybe power3 is a technology they use in the chips |
23:04:34 | CoolerQ | i dunno |
23:04:37 | othy | yeah, it's called the power3 made by IBM |
23:04:47 | CoolerQ | but you were saying you could get them dirt cheap? |
23:05:04 | othy | which model |
23:05:14 | CoolerQ | i don't know what models they have |
23:05:15 | othy | 200, 333, 400, 450 |
23:05:19 | CoolerQ | Mhz? |
23:05:37 | othy | yeah but remember thats pure risc |
23:05:59 | CoolerQ | didn't I say I have a mac? |
23:06:02 | CoolerQ | i know |
23:06:15 | othy | the dreamcast 200 risc, ps2 250 or 300 risc |
23:06:36 | othy | gamecube is 400 or 300 ibm risc |
23:06:44 | CoolerQ | well, right now we were looking at intel |
23:06:54 | CoolerQ | excuse me, amd |
23:07:05 | CoolerQ | heres our current thoughts: |
23:07:07 | othy | intel is 32-bit architecture |
23:07:09 | CoolerQ | Hardware |
23:07:09 | CoolerQ | Processor - AMD Duron 750 MHz |
23:07:09 | CoolerQ | GPU - GeForce2 GTS Deluxe |
23:07:09 | CoolerQ | RAM - 64 MB system, 32 MB graphics |
23:07:09 | CoolerQ | DVD - 2-4x DVD drive |
23:07:09 | CoolerQ | HD - 10 - 30 GB |
23:07:11 | CoolerQ | USB - USB 2.0 (subject to change) |
23:07:13 | CoolerQ | Network - 10/100 MBs Ethernet card |
23:07:15 | CoolerQ | Sound - Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 PCI |
23:07:34 | CoolerQ | but all could be eventually changed if something better comes along |
23:08:15 | othy | with power3 chip your looking at high performance floating point cal. |
23:08:20 | CoolerQ | like a dirt cheap processor :) |
23:08:22 | CoolerQ | i know |
23:08:34 | CoolerQ | powerpc 500 mhz = intel 1 ghz |
23:09:34 | othy | i can make some calls cause i know they want be involved in a lot of open source projects |
23:10:32 | othy | cause with a power3 chip and a good graphics card you have a machine that can compete with ps2 or x-box |
23:14:22 | CoolerQ | how much stock do you have? |
23:15:00 | CoolerQ | (percent of outstanding shares would be nice) |
23:15:36 | othy | percent is small but we now alot of people high up on the Board |
23:15:56 | othy | i have 20 shares my dad has about 500 shares |
23:16:08 | CoolerQ | interesting |
23:16:16 | CoolerQ | lemme see how many outstanding shares there are |
23:16:51 | othy | i think it's about 3 billion a can't remember though or million |
23:18:18 | othy | 6 million |
23:18:24 | CoolerQ | k |
23:18:29 | CoolerQ | so, 520/6000000 |
23:18:32 | CoolerQ | hmm |
23:18:49 | othy | trust me i know a lot of people there |
23:19:12 | CoolerQ | well, it sounds like it might be nice |
23:19:19 | CoolerQ | but what prices are we talking about? |
23:19:36 | othy | my best friends dad even works for them at the plant where they make the chip |
23:19:54 | CoolerQ | that doesn't help much |
23:20:06 | othy | prices i'll find out, about 40 bucks bulk |
23:20:08 | CoolerQ | are you saying he would steal a few here or there? |
23:20:15 | othy | maybe |
23:20:16 | CoolerQ | ok |
23:20:23 | CoolerQ | maybe?!?!?!?! |
23:20:28 | CoolerQ | that's illegal!!!! |
23:20:38 | CoolerQ | we don't want criminals, we want visionaries |
23:20:45 | othy | i have a 4 ghz ibm prototybe chip |
23:20:57 | othy | it kicks ass |
23:21:23 | othy | though i can only run linux, unix and aix |
23:21:25 | othy | on it |
23:22:42 | othy | i can make a few calls and find out some info on it again, cause the last time i talked to someone there they said they were interested in supporting more console systems |
23:29:53 | othy | so |
23:32:06 | CoolerQ | ttyl then |
23:32:56 | othy | k |
