| tonyyarusso | exigraff, h00k, jenkinbr: Has there been any movement on a Duluth/Superior or Grand Rapids release event? Or just Madison and Twin Cities? | 21:05 |
|---|---|---|
| tonyyarusso | Alpha_Cluster: Do you have something put together for Northwest yet? | 21:05 |
| Alpha_Cluster | tonyyarusso: no i havent really be doing much sorry :( | 22:31 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i actually havent even been using ubuntu much | 22:31 |
| Obsidian1723 | Alpha, what do you use? | 22:34 |
| Alpha_Cluster | OSX >.< and WHS mostly | 22:36 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i have a copy of ubuntu and kubuntu that run in parallels its just ati's drivers cause tearing on my media center computer | 22:37 |
| Alpha_Cluster | otherwise i might have a linux box | 22:37 |
| Obsidian1723 | ahhh | 22:39 |
| Obsidian1723 | Why OIS X? | 22:39 |
| Obsidian1723 | OS X | 22:39 |
| Alpha_Cluster | cause its Unix and they make really nice laptops | 22:39 |
| Obsidian1723 | Its not UNIX.. | 22:40 |
| Alpha_Cluster | um actaully it is | 22:40 |
| Alpha_Cluster | its got the unix certs | 22:40 |
| tonyyarusso | Alpha_Cluster: Well, if you can still coax someone else into organizing something, that'd be nice. :) | 22:40 |
| Alpha_Cluster | rofl | 22:40 |
| Obsidian1723 | Its a hybrid mix of NeXtstep misxed with FreeBSD. FreeBSD is a deriviative of UNIX, where as Mac OS X is a hybrid / derivative of a derivaitve. | 22:41 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i dont know anyone really up here to much... | 22:41 |
| tonyyarusso | Obsidian1723: http://www.macworld.co.uk/mac/news/index.cfm?newsid=19719&pagtype=allchandate | 22:42 |
| Alpha_Cluster | yeah unix is a cert nothing more | 22:43 |
| tonyyarusso | right | 22:43 |
| Obsidian1723 | yah? | 22:43 |
| Obsidian1723 | Well Mac OS isn't SCo, System V | 22:43 |
| Alpha_Cluster | why does that have anything to do wtih Unix? | 22:44 |
| Alpha_Cluster | all unix means is The Open Group certified it and its posix complient | 22:45 |
| * Alpha_Cluster stabs 5400rpm hdd | 22:48 | |
| Alpha_Cluster | stupid laptop harddrives | 22:48 |
| tonyyarusso | Alpha_Cluster: Seriously, if you could even get four or five people to hang out and talk about Lucid for an hour at a coffee shop it would make me happy. | 22:51 |
| tonyyarusso | And with that, I should head out. | 22:51 |
| Alpha_Cluster | tonyyarusso: we shall see what i can do | 22:51 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: Same goes for you down in the South :) | 22:51 |
| Alpha_Cluster | yay im not hte only bad one >.< | 22:52 |
| Takyoji | :P | 22:53 |
| Takyoji | Otherwise it may have to be a week late. | 22:53 |
| Takyoji | As in, next week. | 22:53 |
| Alpha_Cluster | lol | 22:53 |
| Alpha_Cluster | yeah i haave the same problm | 22:53 |
| Alpha_Cluster | maybe the X server will work by then too | 22:53 |
| Alpha_Cluster | or have they fixed that | 22:53 |
| * Obsidian1723 is back | 22:55 | |
| Alpha_Cluster | UNIX smash | 22:56 |
| Takyoji | otherwise I'll actually have a laptop to bring with me for once. :D | 22:56 |
| Takyoji | for the installfest | 22:56 |
| Alpha_Cluster | lol i actually dont have a mobile linux comp >.< | 22:56 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i just got a vm | 22:56 |
| Obsidian1723 | Good to have a mobile Linux box. | 22:57 |
| Takyoji | oh that's right, aren't you that Windows elitist that doesn't even use Ubuntu? :P | 22:57 |
| Takyoji | (kidding of course) | 22:57 |
| Alpha_Cluster | Takyoji: actually i a windows server and a MacBook Pro :p | 22:57 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i keep trying to use Ubuntu for my media center but ATI doesnt want it to happen | 22:58 |
| Obsidian1723 | Try Mythbuntu? | 22:58 |
| Alpha_Cluster | ist the graphics driver tears | 22:58 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i know more then enough about linux to configure the rest but i cannot get fglrx to not tear | 22:59 |
| Obsidian1723 | Swap it out for an Nvidia or a PTCV5500 | 22:59 |
| Obsidian1723 | PCTV5500 | 22:59 |
| Obsidian1723 | yeah ATI can be a biatchie. | 22:59 |
| Obsidian1723 | You can never go wrong with Intel/Nvidia | 22:59 |
| Alpha_Cluster | oh iknow | 22:59 |
| Alpha_Cluster | yeah you can go very wrong | 23:00 |
| Obsidian1723 | AMD/ATI, lotsa issues | 23:00 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i hate nvidia's elitism | 23:00 |
| Obsidian1723 | 'yeah, but it works. | 23:00 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i dont care | 23:00 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i want it to work correctly | 23:00 |
| Alpha_Cluster | and in linux that means FOSS drivers | 23:00 |
| Obsidian1723 | It's certainly less restrcitive than Apple is. | 23:00 |
| Obsidian1723 | Well, FOSS is nice if you can get it... I'm not like rms where it must be free or nothing at all. | 23:01 |
| Alpha_Cluster | eh with apple i have no expectation that anything above cocoa is open on linux i shouldnt have to run a nvidia binary blog to get my grpahics | 23:01 |
| Alpha_Cluster | ati at least is making it possible to write the drivers | 23:01 |
| Alpha_Cluster | and actualy those drivers will probably work here in a few months for me | 23:01 |
| Alpha_Cluster | Obsidian1723: btw problem with the HD5500 no cable card | 23:02 |
| Alpha_Cluster | besides nvidida doesnt make hdmi ports on their graphics cards | 23:04 |
| Obsidian1723 | True... | 23:04 |
| Alpha_Cluster | which is the only way i will plug a computer into my tv besides displayport | 23:04 |
| Takyoji | Isn't HDMI patent-encumbered? :P | 23:05 |
| Alpha_Cluster | ? | 23:05 |
| Obsidian1723 | heh | 23:05 |
| Alpha_Cluster | you need to license it like 90% of port technologies | 23:06 |
| Alpha_Cluster | i dont believe there is anything encumbering about video going through it | 23:06 |
| h00k | tonyyarusso: I've been busy,the only thing that I see in the state is down in Madison where I'll be headed | 23:13 |
