Cheri703not personally, but thafreak was recommending one the other day I thought, and I have read good reviews of brother + ubuntu00:33

dmcglone1I gave up on that stupid printer02:46
deejoesounds like a fine stepper-motor donor02:48
Cheri703dmcglone1: I missed what was going wrong with it02:48
dmcglone1Cheri703: when I go to print it gives an error message about the ink cartridges missing and I need to shut down and start back up.02:59
dmcglone1it will not print at all02:59
dmcglone1I think the print head is bad, so I'm going to get me one soon. I'm regretting giving my 6310 to my sister now03:01
Cheri703hmm...weird03:01
dmcglone1my uncle gave me this 6500 and I kept it because of the ethernet capabilities03:02
dmcglone1and my sister is trying to make a full time switch to linux, but she didn't have a printer that would work, (she had a crappy lexmark) so I gave her my 631003:03
dmcglone1this woman on TV got arrested for shoplifting and her comment was "I was trying on the sweater and I put my jacket on over it and forgot and was walking out the door" haha and I thought I was the dumbest person on this planet!03:12

dmcglone1I don't care too much for stuff that has a lot of SCI-FI in it03:39
Cheri703easier for me to type it than for you on the ppc :)03:39
Cheri703sci fi = awesome (to a degree)03:39
Cheri703I always liked sci fi novels as a kid03:40
Cheri703still like some of them03:40
dmcglone1I like movies with just a little sci-fi03:40
Unit193PPCyeah03:40
dmcglone1too much and it just takes the realism out of it all03:40
Cheri703not all movies are intended to be realistic03:41
dmcglone1true03:42
dmcglone1I just can't watch a movie that is so "out of this world"03:43
thafreakGlad to see some fellow Stargate fans in here :)03:46

Unit193PPCbeen there...03:47
thafreakloved Richard Dean Anderson in that show...03:48
Cheri703thafreak: I haven't watched EVERY sg1 episode, but many, and most if not all of sga, and husband is SUPER into sgu, so we watch it every week03:48

Unit193PPCnot seen movies03:49
Cheri703tv show03:49
thafreakbad thing is...since I know I've seen every episode, I never feel like watching re-runs of it03:49
Unit193PPCI knoe... don't like it....03:49
thafreakI'm really liking SGU so far03:49
Cheri703quick poll: better to store extraneous computer bits in plastic bins/drawers or metal of some sort? and/or plastic toolbox or metal?03:49
thafreakthey need more General McNeal...but other than that, excellent03:50
Cheri703yeah, husband thinks it's like the best show ever, except perhaps the walking dead03:50
thafreakhaven't seen walking dead...it's not on hulu...is it good?03:50
dmcglone1Did I hear Macgyver?03:50
Cheri703it's a zombie show...if you like zombies, then you'll probably like it03:50
dmcglone1I loved that show03:51
Cheri703I'm meh on it, it's decent, but I feel it's a rehash of oh...I don't know, EVERY ZOMBIE MOVIE EVER MADE? but...it's ok. 6 episodes in this first season, just ended sunday03:51
Cheri703amc show03:51
dmcglone1anyone remember "the night owl theater"03:52

thafreakthat's why I want to see a remix of zombie movie, and that new movie surrogates with bruce willis03:53
thafreakzombies take over, but you can send out a robot version of your self...03:54

=== Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703
Cheri703I think I'm going to have to do something I really don't want to do :(05:04
Cheri703install vista >.<05:04
Unit193That laptop?05:05
Cheri703yeah05:06
Cheri703xp is just being ridiculous05:06
Cheri703can't install sound drivers, can't install tons of crap it needs05:06
Unit193If you must go for 705:06
Cheri703I can't05:06
Cheri703it NEEDS ie7 at the highest, ie6 or ie7 are the ONLY ones that will let some of the xerox webapps run05:07
Cheri703and win7 can't install anything under ie805:07
Cheri703so if I want dell supported drivers, it has to be vista >.<05:07
Unit193I know Vista is annoying....05:07
Cheri703I hate it05:07
Cheri703but I hate 7 almost as much05:08
Unit1937 is actually better (in terms of Windows)....05:08
canthus13Yay relativism.05:10
Cheri703well, yeah, but if vista is the only one that can run the software needed and get the drivers, then vista wins :(05:10
Unit193I don't like the idea of Vista winning anything (except # of crashes)05:14
Cheri703me neither05:15
Cheri703freaking xerox and their ancient software :(05:15
Unit193Have you ever done a SSH proxy tunnel?05:16
canthus13Hahaha...  http://www.noob.us/humor/baling-hay-wait-wtf/05:16
Cheri703Unit193: for what use?05:17
* canthus13 has thought about using it to get facebook at work...05:17
Unit193SOCKS (FileZilla, Firefox)05:17
Unit193Bad canthus13.... ;)05:17
canthus13Unit193: Then I realized I just don't care enough about facebook to be bothered.  What's funny is they block facebook, but not 4chan.05:18
Unit193wow....05:19
Unit193You checked?05:19
canthus13I clicked a link without thinking.05:21
canthus13nothing too bad, but I was still surprised.05:21
Cheri703if my boss can't be bothered to confirm if I have a meeting with her, then I'm not going to show up :) I will sleep in for the first time all week :)05:49
Unit193How is that coming back at you?05:53
Cheri703?05:54
Unit193Boss going to get mad? yell? cry herself to sleep? ;)05:55
Cheri703meh, I don't care at this point05:56
Cheri703she's insane05:57
Unit193If you call the hospital will they concur?05:59
Cheri703friend of mine who deals with her at church was ranting on the phone the other night, I put her on speaker so my husband could see I'm not the only one who feels this way about her06:00
Unit193what church?06:01
Cheri703it's in galion06:02
