Having to regularly PONG the server is no fun. :( [08:25] Btw tron legacy was awesome! [16:12] wowee wowwah === excid3|mbp is now known as excid2sushi [17:01] Hey there PocketBrain ! How are you ? [17:01] Yo [17:02] wow, a real human bean [17:02] lol [17:02] Ever since the sunset of dialup, it is hard to find a full room with real human beans in it. [17:02] :-P [17:02] All week I have been stuck in a class basically without connectivity [17:02] :-) [17:03] heh. I have the great firewall of Lockheed-Martin to contend with at work; my Dell Streak does a handy job of opening up the world for me. [17:03] Sweet, do you like the Streak? [17:04] I have heard some good things about it [17:04] They implemented the new firewall right after China dropped theirs for the 2008 olympics. I think they got it 2nd hand from China. Yes, L-M uses a firewall that was too restrictive for a totalitarian communist regime. [17:04] ROFL PocketBrain ! [17:04] iit1dude how are you? [17:04] It's pretty awesome; I do have a plan phone, but I managed to upgrade to Android 2.2 anyway. [17:04] itnet7: [17:04] Hey there RoAkSoAx ! [17:05] I might try out DJ Steve's most current ROM when I get a chance. [17:05] cool! [17:05] I think everybody in the world with a Streak has 2.2 EXCEPT the AT&T plan models. [17:06] RoAkSoAx wzup [17:06] hi PocketBrain [17:07] I wonder how fast they will get Ginger up and running... [17:07] I would love to take gingerbread for a test spin [17:08] I have been having problems with my Evo, Sprint is giving me a replacement on Monday [17:08] Aw man, I should record my boot test with Ubuntu on that old Dell laptop... WinXP takes like 5 minutes to boot from the HDD, UBU 10.10 requires 53 seconds to boot, login, start OO.o word, enter 1 word, save, and shutdown. [17:09] Aw man. Buddy at work just got his Evo. Has a couple of issues. Their 4G is actually WiMax, ya know? [17:09] (of course, 10.10 is booting from an old SSD) [17:10] Yeah I heard that about the wimax [17:11] Awesome on the boot time btw [17:12] Zalright, it's still faster than 3G. [17:13] I should acquire another 5.2krpm hard drive for the laptop and do a real boot comparison between the two. Ever since 10.4, though, Ubuntu has supported SSDs, right? [17:13] yes [17:14] I want to check out the viewsonic tablet! [17:14] It really shows. [17:15] Android tablets are the next big thing; I think it's going to kill Chrome OS. [17:16] Google will most likely fork Android to run on such devices, as they are being used as such already, and that will leave very little market for Chrome devices. [17:21] #1 benefit of Android 2.2: tethering. WiFi, BlueToot, or USB. I get a little bit moist thinking about it. [17:21] PocketBrain: lol!! [17:24] I like that USB tethering just worked when I tested it on a laptop booted to Fedora 14 at work. [17:25] USB thumb drive OS no less. [17:28] Yeah, I love the fact that the ACL's actually work without killing the connection now!! [17:28] for Wifi Tether [17:33] Now I just have to become a WINE pro. :-) There are a few crucial games that are tethering me to a MS OS. [17:36] wotup gidim [17:36] Whoa, people! Yay! [17:37] heh, I said the same thing. [17:37] It's been so quiet in here when I've been around lately. [17:37] PocketBrain: I just recently bought the left4dead 2 game from steam, just have to tweak it a bit to get better fps [17:37] You running in WINE? [17:37] yup [17:37] (itnet7) [17:37] using the ppa [17:37] rawk. I wonder how StarCraft 2 would fare. [17:38] I ran SC1 on an older Ubuntu/PC/WINE and it worked, but the sound was a little laggy. [17:38] they had a deal at steam where you could buy l4d 2 for 5 bucks [17:38] I need to get my brother some steampowered credits so he doesn't have to use my account to play Portal. [17:38] or you could buy a copy for you and 3 of your friends for 14.99 [17:39] I haven't purchaseed Starcraft 2 yet, not sure how well they say it runs on wine [17:39] hey there gidim ! [17:39] sorry.. [17:39] This month has been crazy, haven't been able to get in the channel as often as I'd like [17:39] I have StarCraft 2. [17:39] OOooooooo. I have a physical copy of L4D2 but haven't installed it yet. Hey, when you buy that copy and 3 for your friends, do you have to decide who gets it right away? [17:39] I got it running in Wine, but never got to play it. My system is low on the reqs end. [17:39] PocketBrain: no [17:40] You get a place in your steam menu where you can send them out whenever [17:40] Okay. I have a GeForce GTX 470 card, so I'm good on the hardware side. [17:41] Wow, the sale is over [17:41] I was trying to get you the link [17:42] aw durn [17:42] http://store.steampowered.com/app/550/ back up to 59.99 for four copies [17:42] 19.99 for one [17:42] Someday, when I get my EverQuest 1 working on Ubuntu... I will be content. :3 [17:42] I gotta grab by bro the Orange Box, anyway, when it is on sale next. [17:43] I learned about the deal checking deals.woot.com [17:43] Long-time wooter myself. Black box. [17:44] Also scan slickdeals.net from time to time. [17:44] gidim: I thought Ever Quest did play on wine [17:44] not sure how well though [17:44] Nice PocketBrain ! [17:44] It does to a point, but I never seem to have the ideal wine version that plays it perfectly. [17:44] You should use the one from the ppa and use wine prefixes [17:45] sometimes replacing the .dll's help too [17:45] I wonder if I can get Battlezone and Battlezone 2 to play on WINE? Awesome game, but doesn't run on the NT windows, so I'm hosed from XP on. [17:45] I would love to just take a couple years out of my life, access their source and re-code it to run native. They're obviously never going to. :3 [17:45] :-) [17:46] Maybe you could find some haxx0rz in "Anonymous" to get the source for you... give them something to do other than economic terrorism. [17:46] PocketBrain: you may be able to play it using Dosbox [17:46] Indeed. Nothing against those EQemu folks, but I wanna pay my $15/mo and play on the official servers, where I know people. [17:47] Well, $45/mo. I have three accounts. [17:47] Understandable [17:48] Nice, BZ2 does indeed run on WINE, with gold rating. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8851&iTestingId=48153 [17:49] dang, you're hardcore. I don't have any subscription gaming accounts; I tend to pay the up-front costs and game with "free" play. [17:49] http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/ [17:49] Afraid of losing myself to the horde, so to speak. [17:52] howdy enjalot [18:13] Phew, didn't miss much. I was worried. Chris Rock is on Comedy Central. :3 [18:13] oooo [18:14] watching Portal 2 trailers on steam [18:18] I don't play anything with a monthly fee [18:21] I used to be the same way. When EverQuest came out, I was on Diablo 2 saying, "Haha, suckers! Go ahead, pay a monthly fee, I got non-stop Diablo for free!" [18:22] Then, I got a credit card in college, free first month, I tried it... and my social life as I knew it was over, as was my bank account. [18:22] Yeah, I can see a pay-for-play service being worth it, but I couldn't afford it after I got fired for showing up late for work after a weekend of no sleep. ;-) [18:24] :-) I do purchase practically all of the native games that have been release by indies [18:25] http://www.humblebundle.com/ [18:25] I am about to get these soon I believe [18:25] ooooo [18:28] Nifty. All compatible with Linux. [18:29] yup [18:31] I played the deme of some of them, really fun. I like the whole concept of them having you name the price too [18:31] I might get my brother/kids this. They have both PC and MAC. [18:31] Not because I'm cheap, but it shows they aren't about the money [18:31] at least not all about the money [18:35] I think I really need to start playing MineCraft. [18:36] heh do you? [18:36] I think I do, yes. The youtube videos look so fun. [18:36] It may take over. [18:38] Can you play Cortex Command in windowed mode? Fullscreen on the video makes me a tad queazy. [18:40] Nice, and the bundle is giftable. [18:41] Hmmm.... it has a piegraph of revenue by platform. Do I have to choose platform for the license? [18:43] Howdy Michelle [18:46] hi PocketBrain [18:46] Alright, I'll be back later, but now I have to get ready to go to work... at Barnes & Noble! :D :D :D [18:46] PocketBrain: Not sure, haven't bought them yet [18:46] so what're you up to on this fine, rainy saturday? [18:47] I love my new job. :3 [18:47] Later, Gidim. [18:47] gidim: sweet talk with you soon [18:48] I'm working on the house, trying to convince my knee to not scream at me. [18:48] itnet7: y'all still headed over today? [18:49] MichelleQ: we wanted to, but Hannya isn't getting off of work for until around 5 [18:49] Are you still having it? [18:50] MichelleQ: is it raining badly in Lakeland? It's pouring here [18:51] It was gushing down here in WPB earlier, but it's just drizzle at best now. [18:52] itnet7: we're going til about 9. Up to you guys if you want to come. [18:52] it's cleared up and is nice and sunny here - cooled off nicely. [18:53] Let me see what she says when she gets here... I will let you know as soon as I can. [18:58] no worries. If you can, come. It's a drop-in-and-out sort of thing, so don't stress [19:22] bbl === excid2sushi is now known as excid3omatic
