| 01:23.04 | mheath | Wow. |
| 01:23.12 | mheath | Electronic banking is more complex than I thought. |
| 01:23.18 | mheath | There is 'pending' direct deposits? |
| 01:23.27 | mheath | My bank knows about my next paycheck before it even happens. |
| 01:23.54 | mheath | "$538.63 to Checking ending in 1422, will post on 04/30/2007 and be available the next day." |
| 01:24.59 | mheath | I'm going to ask my brother about this. This is exactly the kind of stuff he does for zion's bank. |
| 01:25.30 | linuxalien | My bank does it too |
| 01:25.56 | mheath | I didn't know they setup that kind of stuff in advanced. But it makes sense, it probably wouldn't work well to try to instantaneously transfer money to every military members bankacount at precisely midnight on payday. |
| 01:31.16 | mheath | ah. Cool. Apparnetly ACH works kinda the same way as a postdated check. |
| 01:31.32 | mheath | My bank already 'has' the transfer, they've just been told not to post it until a few days from now |
| 01:31.44 | mheath | My brother said it's usually done two days in advance. |
| 01:32.49 | mheath | Why are there no legitimate, good companies that offer a full line of Linux-preinstalled systems? |
| 01:33.16 | mheath | Theres virtually nothing with Linux preinstalled except for servers or enterprise systems. |

| 01:58.37 | mheath | Yeah, really talkative in here tonight, eh? |
| 01:58.55 | mheath | BTW, OSC's latest "Empire" isn't that great of a read thus far, if anyone cares. |
| 01:59.27 | *** join/#utah sjansen (n=sjansen@class1-nat.gurulabs.com) |
| 01:59.35 | mheath | I think that OSC grew cocky after Ender's Game. A lot of people in the military connected with that book..... |
| 02:00.04 | mheath | Therefore he somehow thinks he can preceive how people in the military think. |

| 02:02.21 | mheath | Which ruins the whole book, as people looking at that kind of viewpoint as being utterly wrong is a core element of the plot. |

| 02:07.47 | ibot | eats transistors's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti |
| 02:08.06 | mheath | Basic electricity was easy. One can, in the end, basically conceptualize a circuit like a algebra problem. |
| 02:08.16 | mheath | Transistors get a bit more difficult to conceptualize. |
| 02:08.54 | rsimpkins_bb | I IRC for work, so it is already something I'm doing. |
| 02:09.46 | rsimpkins_bb | Kinda hard though, but would work in a pinch. |
| 02:15.49 | mheath | Heh, wow. |
| 02:16.03 | mheath | At least you have a computer, even if it is a stupid blackberry. |
| 02:16.46 | mheath | Am I protected from them avoiding repairs? |
| 02:17.06 | mheath | My laptop is almost out of warranty, but I originally contacted them when it was _in_ warranty |
| 02:17.46 | *** part/#utah linuxalien (i=UNKNOWN@oalug/member/linuxalien) |
| 02:18.01 | mheath | Whats to stop them from saying, when I called them up in a few weeks saying "Wheres the box you said you'd send me?", "well, we have no record of you ever contacting us about that, and it looks like your laptops out of warranty now so....I'm sorry." |
| 02:22.54 | mheath | Yeah. All in all, Empire is Card's worst that I've read, so far. :( |
| 02:23.02 | mheath | Off for the night. Have a good night, veeryone. |
| 02:55.36 | mheath | While medical keeps playing games with me. Thanks to new news, it'll be months before I find out whats going to happen to me. |
| 02:56.28 | mheath | And I'll just wait. Depressed, having trouble focusing in classes, gaining weight because I haven't been able to do any cardio workout in months (I've been LLD _almost_ continuously since early February.) |

| 23:52.00 | mheath | Good evening. Very quiet in here. Still. |
| 23:53.57 | mheath | Hmm. Question: Do you think an internet/gaming cafe in Utah could succeed? |
| 23:54.36 | mrpull | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:54.37 | mheath | I was considering the idea of an open-source friendly (with commercial games, obviously) internet/gaming cafe. Wonderiing if it would stand a chance. |
| 23:54.51 | mheath | Doesn't seem like those businesse have faired very well in Utah. |
| 23:55.10 | mheath | mrpull: Yes, I'd do a lot of things non-conventionally or a normal internet/gaming cafe. Like have a classic arcade. :) |
| 23:58.59 | mrpull | i think that xbox live and MMORPGs have made arcades go the way of the dodo |
| 23:59.05 | mrpull | i dont think it'd succeed |
| 23:59.15 | mrpull | but i'd like someplace to play pinball |
| 23:59.39 | mheath | mrpull: It would have those too. |
| 23:59.54 | mheath | XBox live, comfortable state of the art computers for everything from web browsing to playing WoW on. |
