| maxolasersquad | Good morning! | 13:16 |
| DammitJim | hey do you guys know what phones w/o being rooted can do wifi tethering? | 13:23 |
| DammitJim | I know my N1 can, but that's it | 13:23 |
| maxolasersquad | DammitJim: There's a pretty big difference from carrier sanctioned wireless tethering, and rooted tethering. | 13:25 |
| maxolasersquad | The later is free and without restrictions. | 13:25 |
| DammitJim | I understand | 13:25 |
| maxolasersquad | The Droid Incredible can tether without root. | 13:26 |
| DammitJim | so, the answer is... no to phones w/o being rooted that can do wifi tethering, correct? | 13:26 |
| DammitJim | oh ok, let me check | 13:26 |
| DammitJim | I need to buy a couple of phones that do tethering out of the box... I'm not messing with rooting | 13:26 |
| maxolasersquad | I think, most all the phones running Android Froyo can tether. | 13:26 |
| maxolasersquad | DammitJim: Have you tried rooting a phone yet? On my Incredible it was dead simple. No futzing about at all. | 13:27 |
| * DammitJim searches for phones that come with froyo | 13:27 | |
| DammitJim | I have, but these will be company phones | 13:27 |
| DammitJim | I'm not getting into that mess | 13:27 |
| maxolasersquad | Gotcha. That makes sense. | 13:27 |
| DammitJim | LOL | 13:27 |
| DammitJim | but like I bought 3 N1's and we are good with those | 13:27 |
| maxolasersquad | The Moto Droid can tether as well. | 13:27 |
| DammitJim | droid... not droid x? | 13:29 |
| DammitJim | I got the droid x and can't find it | 13:29 |
| maxolasersquad | That's through Sprint? | 13:33 |
| maxolasersquad | Oh, Verizon, right? | 13:35 |
| maxolasersquad | Should be an app called 3G Mobil Hotspot with Verizon. | 13:36 |
| DammitJim | I guess you have to pay for that | 14:03 |
| maxolasersquad | No idea. It was just there when I upgraded to Froyo. | 14:06 |
| DammitJim | do you guys know where to look up wifi statistics in linux? | 15:00 |
| maxolasersquad | man iwconfig | 15:06 |
| maxolasersquad | I believe that has statistics. | 15:06 |
| maxolasersquad | Yeah, look under the DISPLAY section of the man. | 15:06 |
| DammitJim | hhhmmmmm | 15:08 |
| DammitJim | I'm looking for crc errors and such | 15:08 |
| maxolasersquad | If you look at the bottom of the man page, there are other wireless application, such as iwspy, that may get you the information you seek. | 15:11 |
| DammitJim | thanks | 15:13 |
| DammitJim | dantalizing, did you get boxee on yoru android? | 15:27 |
| ebouza | Good morning Michelle | 16:32 |
| dorgan | is there a way to upgrade a specific package without installing all of the other available upgrades? | 16:32 |
| dorgan | ahh i figured it out | 16:33 |
| maxolasersquad | Anyone have any ideas why \b would not bring up my buffers in vi? | 18:27 |
| jamalta | maxolasersquad: is that a custom binding? | 18:29 |
| jamalta | if you're using <leader> do :echo mapleader to make sure it is \ | 18:29 |
| maxolasersquad | I'm not that good with vi, but my coworker who is pretty good at it says that \b should open the buffer. | 18:29 |
| maxolasersquad | E121: Undefined variable: mapleader | 18:30 |
| maxolasersquad | E15: Invalid expression: mapleader | 18:30 |
| jamalta | Wait, are you using vi or vim? | 18:31 |
| jamalta | I don't even know if vi has a leader | 18:31 |
| maxolasersquad | vi | 18:31 |
| maxolasersquad | Doesn't vi, in ubuntu, run vim? | 18:32 |
| jamalta | maxolasersquad: not unless you install vim | 18:32 |
| jamalta | by default it comes with just vi because it is much smaller.. | 18:32 |
| jamalta | in any case, you could bind \b to open buffers | 18:32 |
| jamalta | you would do map \b [command]<CR> | 18:33 |
| maxolasersquad | Well, I'm running vi from the CLI, and it comes up as vim. | 18:33 |
| jamalta | I think the leader defaults to \ when not set | 18:34 |
| jamalta | So you'll have to map the command for buffers to open | 18:34 |
| jamalta | you can do map <leader>b :buffers<CR> | 18:34 |
| jamalta | in your .vimrc | 18:35 |
| maxolasersquad | Happy Thanksgiving all | 21:44 |
