Seeker`anyone seen the dell selling nvidia quadros for £12?01:28
Tm_Tnope01:28
Seeker`http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&cs=ukdhs1&sku=A166266001:30
Tm_TSeeker`: like to get me two of those? (:01:34
Seeker`heh01:34
Seeker`its all over the net01:34
FlannelTm_T: nvidia octo, eh?01:34
Seeker`I put in an order for 1 just in case01:35
Seeker`no chance it will go through01:35
* Flannel has AGP only!01:35

Seeker`http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/316539/nvidia-quatro-fx460-only-12-inc-del/01:35
Tm_TFlannel: ?01:38
FlannelTm_T: I have AGP for my graphics card01:38
Tm_TFlannel: so do I but what octo?01:42
FlannelTm_T: Oh, 2xquadros = 801:42
Seeker`I dont know why but I feel a bit nervous about having ordered one now01:43
FlannelHeh01:44
Tm_TSeeker`: how so?01:44
Tm_TSeeker`: and did you order it for me?01:45
Tm_Tbecause I definately would like to use one of those01:45
Seeker`I ordered it for me01:47
Seeker`dont have the money to order more than 1 sadly01:47
Seeker`and just something doesn01:48
Seeker`t feel quite right about it01:48
nickrud Seeker` I hope they don't hit your for 1,29502:05
nickruds/your/you/02:05
FlannelWell, if they bump the price you can cancel it02:06
nickrudFlannel, by the way storage, if you decide to use it, is confirmed02:07
Flannelnickrud: Sounds good.  Looks like we're also getting some good news on the GBJ front too.  One of the organizers has suggested we hold one in a room.02:08
FlannelWhich is nice, since we were sort of bummed about them overlapping.  But weren't really sure holding a BoF session as a bugjam would be appropriate02:08
nickrudexcellent. Some serious presentation experience for someone02:08
FlannelWell, if you read the logs from the meeting yesterday, we're hoping we can move our presentations there too, maybe three per day or two or something.  That'd be a lot more feasible.02:09
nickrudah, I see what you're talking about. But I think some people would get a lot out of just watching one02:09
Seeker`nickrud: part of their terms and conditinos that if things cange, you can cancel02:10
nickrudSeeker`, it was a joke more than anything. I'm assuming your credit card company protects you from that anyway.02:10
nickrudbut here's hoping for you :)02:11
Flannelnickrud: Yeah, We'll be holding a bug jam (hopefully) throughout the day.  Both running one, and going over how to run one, etc.02:11
FlannelOr, that's the plan anyway... Hopefully we'll have enough manpower.02:11
nickrudalways the key question when it's voluteer run. personal experience is estimate 60% show up02:12
Seeker`nickrud:                                                                                                                                                                   11.4 Customer indemnifies Dell for any claim which arises due to Customer’s own actions of which Dell had no knowledge or could not reasonably be expected to have02:12
Seeker`                                                                                                                                                                  had knowledge, or for any claim related to IM or IPR specified or owned by Customer & integrated into Product.02:12
Seeker`3.1 The Price that Customer has to pay will be shown on Dell’s Order Confirmation and invoices. The cost of freight, insurance, import or export, duties or other02:12
Seeker`associated costs such as delivery, sales, value add, excise taxes shall be added unless already specified as included in the Price.02:12
Seeker`woops, didn't that that would be so big, sorry02:12
Seeker`I've got and order confirmation stating £12 or so, so their only option would be to cancel, which I suspect they will based on the number that have been ordered02:13
nickrudthat protects the company anyway. 02:13
FlannelWell, does the invoice say 12?02:15
nickrudif someone misplaced a comma/period in a database, I'm sure it'll show everywhere02:15
FlannelRight, so: 3.1 The Price that Customer has to pay will be shown on Dell’s Order Confirmation and invoices.02:15
Seeker`order confirmation states £12.9502:16
FlannelIf they (likely) misplaced something, then you're not oblidged to pay it.02:16
nickrudFlannel, one last question my boss had: when do expect to arrive with the stuff?02:16
FlannelIANAL and all that fun stuff.02:16
* nickrud knew that02:16
Flannelnickrud: Erm... I don't think there'll be anything except for Sat night to Sun morning.02:16
Seeker`right, to bed!02:16
Flanneland... I don't know what time the expo is, so I can't estimate yet.02:16
Seeker`g'night02:16
nickrudFlannel, then that's even easier.02:17
nickrudFlannel, enough then, just keep me up to date on what I need to know02:17
Flannelnickrud: Yeah, since most people will be bringing stuff Sat morning.  Fri is just a setup time for us.02:17
FlannelJack_Sparrow: I too, am eating homemade soup!02:22
Flannelbut, I just throw everything into a crock pot02:23
Jack_Sparrowseeker, I just beat your price on that card by 8 L02:43

FlannelJack_Sparrow: That gutsyupgrades link isn't expired02:55
Jack_SparrowFlannel, The other one on feisty02:56
Flanneloh, must have missed it.02:56
Jack_Sparrowthat would still work if feisty was not eol02:56
Jack_Sparrowgtsy upgrade link is fine02:56
FlannelWell, going from Feisty to Gutsy still works, you just have to move to old-releases for feisty updates02:58

elkbuntuFlannel, i have to admit, i dont actually understand where he fits in09:16
elkbuntuhow long have the forums been down now?09:29
ikoniadidn't know they where09:57
elkbuntuabout the past 5 hours that i'm aware of09:57
elkbuntuone of the dual-booters at work decided to follow a tutorial to install virtualbox that involved messing with his menu.lst09:58
elkbuntu"it looked like something important, but i was following the tutorial"09:58
elkbuntuturns out he edited it in something that was not a plain text editor09:59
Myrttioops09:59
elkbuntuslightly09:59
elkbuntuit took 2 hrs, but i finally untangled the mess09:59
elkbuntuand banned him from tutorials :P10:00
ikoniasonds tedious10:00
ikoniasound10:00
ikoniasome docs out there are so bad10:00
elkbuntuikonia, the fun part is trying to figure which partition is which, when you factor in stuff like extended partitions10:00
ikoniayes extneded partition numbering is annoying10:01
elkbuntuof course, repeated reboots into a livecd to do the fixing and the fscking at the end10:01
ikoniawise to fsck 10:02
elkbuntudidnt have a choice10:03

elkbuntubut me having to do that was entirely his fault :P10:05
topylielkbuntu: what did you have there then? menu.doc perhaps?10:07
elkbuntutopyli, it might as well have been. it was binary garble10:13
theunixgeekelkbuntu: It's been well over 48 hours and you haven't unbanned me from #ubuntu-offtopic10:13
elkbuntutheunixgeek, because we had to talk first, and i have not seen you10:14
theunixgeekelkbuntu: well, may I be unbanned now? :)10:14
elkbuntutheunixgeek, do you understand yet why what you did was wrong?10:14
theunixgeekelkbuntu: yes10:14
elkbuntutheunixgeek, then just to make sure you understand correctly, would you like to tell me why it was wrong?10:14
theunixgeekelkbuntu: I let somebody troll knowing they had already done that10:15
elkbuntuthat's what you did, not why it was bad10:17
elkbuntutheunixgeek, do you understand *why* it was wrong?10:19
theunixgeekelkbuntu: it was bad because it involved people in something futile and useless that took their attention away from whatever chat they were involved in, including aimlessly flooding the channel10:19
elkbuntuexcellent. topyli as the banner, are you satisfied with this response?10:21
