| 00:22.42 | Hanuman | question - when comparing Mac and PC MHz, how do they compare? I mean how does a 1 GHz Powerbook compare with a 2.5 GHz dell laptop? |
| 00:22.55 | Hanuman | will the Mac be as fast? |
| 00:25.10 | Bradipo | That's a good question. |
| 00:25.25 | Bradipo | I suppose that has to do with the difference between RISC and x86 eh? |
| 00:26.04 | jsmith | From the last I heard... a 1GHz Powerbook is about the same as a 1.8 ~ 2.0 GHz dell... |
| 00:26.44 | Hanuman | cool - that answers my question. I just want to make sure I get a fast laptop when I get one, and I want a Mac |
| 00:27.03 | Hanuman | 1GHz for a Mac ought to be fine then |
| 00:29.09 | Hanuman | jsmith: ask \usr\bin\perl to get you one |
| 00:29.21 | Hanuman | "!an IBM blade server" |
| 00:29.31 | Hanuman | he gets you whatever you want |
| 00:29.33 | jsmith | Hanuman: Sure, like that's gonna work! |
| 00:29.42 | Hanuman | I keep hoping, though |
| 00:29.43 | jsmith | !an IBM blade server, with PPC processors |
| 00:30.05 | jsmith | ibot: How much does an IBM blade server cost? |
| 00:30.08 | | i haven't a clue, jsmith |
| 00:30.13 | Hanuman | 8-ball: will jsmith get an IBM blade server, with PPC processors? |
| 00:30.13 | \usr\bin\perl | Hanuman: 8-ball says: Outlook so so |
| 00:30.47 | jsmith | Besides, any unix nut knows that its forward slashes, not backslashes! |
| 00:30.50 | Hanuman | ibot, an IBM blade server costs way too much |
| 00:30.52 | | i don't know, Hanuman |
| 00:31.14 | Hanuman | jsmith: yeah, but you can't create a nick out of forward slashes |
| 00:31.32 | jsmith | Hanuman: One more reason not to have a bot in the first place |
| 00:31.44 | jsmith | ~google IRC bot killer |
| 00:32.42 | Hanuman | they give you someone to talk to when noone will listen :-( |
| 00:32.43 | jsmith | Maybe I'll use that blade server to kill the bot! |
| 00:32.56 | Hanuman | ~whaleslap jsmith |
| 00:32.59 | | ACTION slaps jsmith upside and over the head with one freakishly huge killer whale named hugh |
| 00:34.19 | jsmith | ~kill ibot |
| 00:34.21 | | ACTION slits ibot's throat |
| 00:34.33 | jsmith | Ahh... bot suicide... |
| 00:36.43 | Hanuman | Does Mac come with a standard office suite included? |
| 00:37.11 | Hanuman | cool - OpenOffice supports Mac - at least I will have that if not |
| 00:40.22 | levi | My Mac came with AppleWorks |
| 00:40.32 | levi | And a demo for MS Office X. |
| 00:56.11 | Bradipo | Anyone ever try to import a 74 million record table into MySql? :-) |
| 00:56.42 | Bradipo | I did it with postgres just fine, but mysql just bombs. |

| 19:11.39 | Hanuman | anyone ever used videolan to stream videos? |
| 19:17.01 | torriem | I streamed a dvd across my local lan with it. Seemed to work pretty good, although the sound was a little bad |
| 19:17.47 | Hanuman | have you tried to use it in conjunction with a website? Is that possible? I want to be able to stream mpeg 2 files from a link on a website |
| 19:18.08 | torriem | I haven't. I was using vls and vlc to do the streaming and receiving. |
| 19:18.37 | Hanuman | hmmm...I'm trying to find good docs on streaming video from websites - can't seem to find any good ones |
| 19:18.59 | torriem | There's also the real.com helix streaming framework. |
| 19:19.04 | torriem | Don't know much about that, though. |
| 19:19.20 | Hanuman | I've tried just creating a .wmv file w/ the Windows Media Encoder but it says I'm missing a codec of some sort - I think if I could just get that working I could just use that method of streaming |
| 19:19.48 | torriem | I think streaming an open format (such as mpg) would be better. |
| 19:20.00 | torriem | Have you looked at the vorbis tools for media streaming? |
| 19:20.48 | torriem | Can't remember what the file format is called exactly... |
| 19:20.52 | Hanuman | yeah - I would prefer that. I haven't checked out vorbis yet |
| 19:21.04 | Hanuman | will most cross-platform media players read the files? |
| 19:21.44 | torriem | I don't know |
| 19:21.52 | torriem | mplayer and xine can play them, I think. |
| 19:22.48 | torriem | http://www.xiph.org/ |
| 19:23.07 | Hanuman | yeah - I need to make sure windows can read them, too though. It's to play a video for my extended family |
| 19:23.23 | Hanuman | And I don't think my grandparents are going to be trying Linux any time soon. |
| 19:23.38 | torriem | I'm sure there are codecs that can plug into windows media player for the ogg-format stuff |
| 19:24.16 | Hanuman | hmmm...as long as it wasn't too tough for them to install - that's important |
| 19:24.57 | torriem | http://www.theora.org/ |
| 19:25.09 | torriem | They say they have codecs for both wmp and quicktime 6 |
| 19:26.45 | torriem | I am having a hard time figuring out what all the ogg things are. theora, vp3, etc. There's also the ogg container, ogm or somehing. |
| 19:26.47 | torriem | crazy |
| 19:26.55 | torriem | maybe stick with mpg or something. |
| 19:27.12 | torriem | Oh well, it was a good thought |
| 19:29.08 | Hanuman | yeah - I'm going to see if I can get vls working with mpg |
| 19:29.26 | Hanuman | we'll see if that's even possible - I swear I've streamed mpg's before, so I'm sure it is |
| 19:34.23 | torriem | yah |
| 20:04.10 | Hanuman | man - I just can't seem to find any good howtos on how to stream from the web |
| 20:04.37 | Hanuman | cool - there's a #videolan |
| 20:06.45 | torriem | nice |
| 20:11.44 | Hanuman | is there any free streaming media hosting services out there that I could just upload my file and link to? |
| 20:12.29 | torriem | I don't know |
| 20:12.55 | torriem | I can't see why streaming from your own connection would be too bad if the streams were like modem-sized |
| 20:13.05 | torriem | Or even larger |
| 20:14.29 | Hanuman | torriem: I agree - that's what I thought |
