Cheri703hey, I'm alright, you?22:12
gillymangot a ?????22:12
Cheri703kk22:12
gillymanok just off of work22:12
gillymanthe drivers for allis wireless dident load in to her computer, and if i remember right you said that we would have to find them and load them correct22:13
gillyman????22:14
gillymanif so which ones do i need to download22:14
Cheri703go to dell.com put in her model number, and choose the operating system22:14
gillymanor sould i go to dells website22:14
gillymanok22:14
Cheri703then download them to a flash drive or whatever and install22:14
gillymanthats what i was wondering22:14
Cheri703you'll probably need more than just the wireless drivers22:14
gillymanok kool22:14
Cheri703OR you can plug it into an ethernet cable and just do it directly on hers22:15
gillymanok thats going to be easer22:15
gillymanum, i look at the drver last night, and there was like 5 or 6 different ones, sould i try all of them22:16
gillymandrivers22:16
gillymanfrom dells website22:16
gillymanim just want to make sure that im doing all of this right22:18

gillymanand how much do you want for getting her computer going?????22:18
gillymani get my money next fridayt22:19
Cheri703ok, sorry, I'm back22:26
Cheri703if you go onto the dell site from the computer itself, it will have a thing where you can put in the service tag (actually you can put that in from another computer too I think) and it should be able to pull up the hardware in that model. and if all else fails, just keep trying them, if the hardware isn't there, it won't install22:27
Cheri703and however much22:28
gillymanok22:29
gillymanjust put a price down, you really save our asses22:29

Cheri703hi dniMretsaM22:46
dniMretsaMhowdy22:46
canthus13Unit193: I'll send you a PM... for a dollar.23:05
Unit193canthus13: I don't need one that badly... How much is a hug? ;)23:19
canthus13Unit193: with or without groping?23:20
skellatOh my, what did I walk into?23:21
Cheri703canthus13 would do well to remember that some people here are minors23:21
Unit193skellat: Howdy23:21
skellatUnit193: Howdy23:21
Unit193canthus13: You like to grope guys?23:22
canthus13Unit193: Not really, but I'm pretty broke at the moment.23:22
Unit193Thus all the overtime!23:23
canthus13Yup.23:23
canthus13I wonder how much longer before the FBI starts looking really hard for LulzSec....23:24
skellatcanthus13: I thought Homeland Security had responsibility for infrastructure protection like that23:24
skellatcanthus13: DHS for non .gov and the NSA for .gov/.mil domains23:25
canthus13skellat: Yeah, but they embarrassed the FBI in particular.23:25
Unit193They'll just shut down everything that *could* be them...23:26
skellatcanthus13: That would be a FUN Joint Task Force, then...23:26
canthus13They hit teh FBI last friday... the senate tuesday....23:26
canthus13Not to mention working hard to take Sony offline forever...23:27
skellatCIA yesterday23:27
canthus13Eh? THey haven't mentioned that on their releases yet...23:28
skellatTech News Today & Buzz Out Loud mentioned it in yesterday's programs...that I'm just now listening to23:28
canthus13Oh yeah.. DOS.23:28
canthus13I'm talking actual break-ins.23:28
canthus13They just kinda casually pointed botnets at the CIA.23:29
skellatWe may differentiate such but do policymakers differentiate such?23:29
canthus13True.23:29
canthus13Someone just needs to explain it to them... DDOS is like setting up one-way signs to point all traffic to your driveway, thus blocking anyone from going in or out, while an actual security compromise is like a burglar breaking into your house. :/23:30
skellatIsn't your local US Rep Marcy Kaptur?  My local one is Steven C. LaTourette.  Mine is a train nut and not that big on tech issues.23:31
canthus13Kaptur is an idiot.23:31
canthus13she's in office because the unions want her there.23:31
skellatI ping LaTourette every so often just to raise the notion of instituting AMTRAK commuter rail between Ashtabula & Cleveland to help solidify the area's existence as a "bedroom community" far-flung satellite of Cleveland23:32
canthus13:)23:32
canthus13Amtrak is nice.... I wish it had better routes and prices, though.23:33
skellatYeah23:33
skellatIn the end, I assume organizing a presentation as a LoCo to our 18 or so US Reps might be worthwhile.23:33
skellatPrepping something for mailing could work, too.23:33
skellatBut I digress23:34
canthus13We have a full-service amtrak station here in toledo...23:35
skellatThe station in the PA community of Erie remains closest for me23:35
skellatThe Toledo AMTRAK station is nice.  I've passed through there multiple times on academic business travel.23:36
skellatLakeshore Limited runs through at a weird hour of night when trying to get back to Ashtabula from the Detroit area23:37
canthus13My wife takes it from here to Austin on occassion.  It's great for one person, but add a second, and it's cheaper to drive.23:40
Cheri703I wish the governor wasn't an idiot and hadn't turned down the money for the 3c train thing23:41
Cheri703that would have been awesome for a car-free person like myself to get to columbus or anywhere else23:41
canthus13I'd love to see local train service around the state....23:44
skellatBlame the "maintenance of effort" requirements that were attached to the money.  The state kinda ran out of places to cut when the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act was passed.  The big condition tied to most of the money doled out was that federal monies could not supplant state monies and that ANY cuts in specified areas would result in not only money being yanked and Ohio being disqualified for further grants for several year23:45
Cheri703meh, still23:45
skellatThe only way higher spending could've been sustained across the board with all those "maintenance of effort" restrictions would have been cuts in any of the following areas: corrections, mental health services, and parks & recreation.23:46
skellatAnd ODNR's budget isn't that big23:46
skellatI so suck the oxygen out of the room at times...23:49
Unit193I just have nothing to add to this at all so I'm sticking with not saying anything... Wait, er...23:50
skellatIt happens23:51
skellatSo what else is new across the LoCo today?23:51
canthus13skellat: Well, I failed utterly at getting the natty mini cd to install on a VM.... :/23:54
* canthus13 was gonna use it to work out a base set of packages for Openbox...23:55
canthus13The installer either hung or just plain crashed 4 times this morning.23:55
skellatcanthus13: Am I going to have to work out appropriate mule arrangements to get a hard drive to ya?  I've got somebody heading towards Grand Rapids July 4th weekend who could make a drop en route.23:56
canthus13That would be beautiful :)23:56
skellatAlrighty23:56
skellatThe mini CD just threw errors?  Was it possibly a video issue?23:57
canthus13I dunno. I was using the text install.23:58
canthus13The Debian Mini works fine.23:58
skellatWhich mini CD did you grab?  There are two and one of 'em doesn't work for snot.23:58
canthus13Natty.23:58
skellatHunh.23:58
canthus13I've had issues with natty and vbox from the start, though.. It wouldn't work at *ALL* until release day, when oracle released a new vrsion of vbox...23:59
