wrstxTEMPLARx:  welcome back from the dead!21:03
wrstpace_t_zulu: i have ati... but i like it :)21:03
* xTEMPLARx throws up a little in his mouth at the mention of ATI21:18
Svpernova09ATI! /runs away21:19
xTEMPLARxlol21:19
Svpernova09I'm a long time Nvidia guy, bought my first ATI in years a few months back, couldn't be happier with it.21:19
xTEMPLARxyou couldn't be happier with it, coz it stinks!21:20
Svpernova09lol21:20
Svpernova09I actually run ATI at home and at work now.21:21
xTEMPLARxjust playin' of course21:21
Svpernova09Sure, I will poke fun htough, I luckily missed a giant windows driver snafu a few months back21:21
Svpernova09Apparently the driver totally broke Directx something or other21:21
Svpernova09and people had to roll back.21:21
xTEMPLARxI briefly considered buying an ATI card when I built my home machine, but the linux drivers weren't (aren't?) up to par so I didn't think twice about it and bought Nvidia21:22
xTEMPLARxoh nice21:22
Svpernova0910.04 used the ATI driver no problem, I fired up WoW a couple times, but never did anything intensive on it.21:22
wrstSvpernova09: its in a laptop i'm not overly hapyy with the card21:24
Svpernova09Yea, I've got an ATI mobile card in my laptop as well, it's not that great. But it's also 5 years old21:25
Svpernova09hmmm21:25
Svpernova09I guess I lost my nvidia street cred.21:25
Svpernova09Not actively using any of their cards atm.21:25
xTEMPLARxu still playin wow at all?21:26
Svpernova09oh yes.21:26
xTEMPLARxlol21:26
xTEMPLARxcool21:26
Svpernova09Not even SC2 could kick that habit.21:27
xTEMPLARxwhats ur server21:27
Svpernova09I still haven't picked up SC221:27
Svpernova09Kil'Jaeden Horde.21:27
xTEMPLARxi have alliance on Shadowmoon and horde on Chromaggus, both PVP servers21:27
xTEMPLARxkinda bummed tho coz Chromaggus has turned out to be a very low-pop server these days21:27
Svpernova09I've been on KJ a little over a year, I spent 2-3 years on Madoran Alliance, PvE.21:27
Svpernova09KJ is high pop, pretty balanced A:H wise21:28
xTEMPLARxpvp server?21:28
xTEMPLARxi dunno if I could stand being on a PVE server21:28
Svpernova09yah, PvP21:28
Svpernova09Bloodlust BG921:29
Svpernova09"BG9 or it doesn't count" hehe21:29
xTEMPLARxlol21:29
xTEMPLARxi play a lot of BGs but just for the XP and HP... I'd rather battle ppl out in the world, but that's all but a lost art these days... i'm hoping the new quests and zones will spur that on a bit though21:29
pace_t_zuluword has it that windows phone 7 is a flop21:30
Svpernova09TolBarad is amazing.21:30
wrstpace_t_zulu: judging by their commercials it seems pretty lame21:30
Svpernova09pace_t_zulu: I saw a banner todayw here someone was giving away win7 phones for $200, buy 1 get 1 free21:30
Svpernova09I lol'd. Spent $250 on my Evo >.<21:31
pace_t_zuluyea it's a joke21:31
pace_t_zulutheir commercials are ridiculous21:31
pace_t_zuluyou still have to look at your phone... they didn't implement a new technology that allows you to get information from your phone without looking at it21:31
pace_t_zuluall MS is doing these days is copying Google and Apple ... poorly21:32
cyberangerwrst: so, windows, that's all the more reason to update, then both systems would be poor21:34
wrstha ha yeah cyberanger well what i am stuck with here21:34
* cyberanger hands wrst a livecd and says enjoy21:39
wrsti have ubuntu here, have 10.10 on machine in the office but i think i have 8.10 on this one or something like that21:40
cyberangersudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get enjoy ;-)21:42
wrstcyberanger: i think i will log into it to see if it still works....21:45
cyberangerin the event of an emergency, tuck your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye21:47
* cyberanger smells smoke21:47
wrst_810ha ha what do you know cyberanger  i have 8.1021:50
wrst_810hmm oh well its pretty i suppose21:52
wrstok it is amazing what 2 years can do as far as look, feel appearance etc21:54
cyberangersudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get enjoy ;-)21:56
* cyberanger smells smoke, oh wait, that's a sweet smell, an upgrade perhaps21:56
wrstdon't have time for that today21:56
cyberangerlet it run overnight21:56
wrstcyberanger: i generally follow the suggested upgrade paths when i do them and have few problems21:56
wrstbut i would have to go 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, then to 10.10 i think21:57
cyberangerit's so old, you can afford the risk ;-)21:57
wrstdont' think i can jump striaght to the lts21:57
cyberangeryou might be able, since they gotta for 8.04 to 10.0421:58
wrstyeah i just won't try it today :)22:00
cyberangerwhy not, it'll need an overnight run anyhow22:01
wrstmight try it when i have nothing else to do !22:01
wrstbut need the machine tomorrow if grub messes up etc i'm left with a bootless machine22:01
cyberangertake a risk ;-) (I understand that, ugh, still, I'd stubbornly do it)22:02
wrstbut cyberanger you will be happy to know i'm on an ubuntu 10.10 machine now at work22:02
cyberangeroption a, a great sucess, option b, 4th of july fireworks in december, it's a win win22:02
