[02:37] <Cheri703> blarghy blargh, want to work on dual-boot machine, but place I have to sit is uncomfortable :(
[02:51] <canthus13> blargh.
[02:59] <Cheri703> just got a call from friend's sister whose blu-ray player I set up the other night :) she was getting an error message, I helped her take care of it
[03:26] <Cheri703> Unit193: I'm plugging in the laptop now to top off the battery, any requests on how I test it? would you prefer a "connected to wifi, streaming full-screen video, while running some sort of something in the background" or just standby? (or a battery test program if I can find one)
[03:29] <Cheri703> Unit193: also, as a note: mom pulled this battery out last thursday, and I just put it in, and it was fully charged, granted, it wasn't being used, but it held its charge alright (I've had old batteries that ran themselves down when sitting unused)
[03:31] <Unit193> I think it would be used for wifi, t-bird and FF... so I don't know what would be the best way to test it
[03:31] <Cheri703> ok, I'll stream a video
[03:31] <Cheri703> in ff
[03:31] <Cheri703> with several tabs open
[03:31] <Cheri703> and refreshing
[03:34] <Unit193> But I think friend is getting it (doesn't matter on the battery test side)
[03:34] <Cheri703> ok, either way
[03:35] <Cheri703> I still want to know :)
[03:37] <Cheri703> full brightness, wifi, streaming hulu full screen, started at 10:36
[04:19] <Unit193> http://jokes4all.net/joke_1560.html <-- so true
[04:33] <Cheri703> 11:33, computer went into hibernate
[04:34] <Cheri703> so 57 minutes with full screen hulu video playing, full volume, on wifi
[04:34] <canthus13> Get caffeine.
[04:34] <canthus13> Oh. Battery test. nm
[04:35] <Cheri703> 1 hour for an older laptop is reasonable I'd think...perhaps
[04:36] <canthus13> Maxed out? Yeah... not bad.
[04:36] <Unit193> How hard is it to swap out the cells?
[04:37] <Unit193> (something I read said you could...)
[04:37] <canthus13> Cells? I'd just replace the battery.
[04:37] <canthus13> And it depends on the battery.
[04:37] <Unit193> Thanks for the info Cheri703!
[04:37] <Cheri703> sure, like I said, always good to have a reference point :)
[04:38] <canthus13> http://www.electronics-lab.com/articles/Li_Ion_reconstruct/
[04:40] <Unit193> maybe not...
[04:44] <canthus13> Heh.
[04:49] <canthus13> Unit193: ...was it the 'Caution: Explosion Risk' notices that decided it?
[05:02] <stalcup> yo
[05:11] <canthus13> ho
[05:15] <Cheri703> a pirate's life for me
[05:15] <Unit193> canthus13: That's about it...
[05:21] <canthus13> Cheri703++
[06:41] <Unit193> canthus13: Giving neatx a try... hopefully....
[11:50]  * canthus13 is using FreeNX. It works quite well. :)
[14:04] <thafreak> canthus13: yes, some parts of ldap *can* be a pain in the ass, but the fact that just about *ANYTHING* can use it as an auth source is pretty awesome
[14:12] <thafreak> Oh, and the best tools for working with ldap are still the CLI ones, which kind of sucks for most people...
[14:51] <deejoe> it's sort of the sendmail of directory services
[14:51] <deejoe> complicately powerful
[14:51] <deejoe> er,
[14:51] <deejoe> complicatedly?
[14:52] <deejoe> anyway, even more tangentially X is the Y of Z: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1295
