BiosElementAhaha00:51
BiosElementVerizion sucks00:51
BiosElement$10 bucks for 75MB00:51
BiosElementYou've gotta be kidding me.00:51
BiosElementOh Oh, and even if you buy a more expensive plan, it's 10 bucks a gig overage00:51
Cheri703yeah BiosElement, that's why I heart sprint, unlimited data ftw01:23
* jgould frowns02:05
jgouldHmm... Google Latitude is acting funny.  It's telling me that a friend is in Columbus, At the Treminal, but her partner, who is in the same truck is near Toledo02:07
jgouldAny one know why I can boot 9.04 on this lappy, but not anything newer?02:09
Cheri703jgould: hardware?02:28
Cheri703also, latitude was always weird02:29
Cheri703jgould: I had an old server that would boot 10.04, but after install, wouldn't acknowledge its existence, but I installed 6.06, then upgraded each lts til 10.04 and it booted and ran 10.04 happily02:30
Cheri703something about the hardware wouldn't take the newer install methods properly02:31
jgouldThis has been the first time where I couldn't get the system to boot uing a disk.  I've booted but had the drivers for the hardware not be there...02:41
jgouldI'm starting at 9.04 and working my way up until I get to something that will give me SMART status on the primary disk02:42
Cheri703couldn't you just put the disk in another machine?02:43
Cheri703as a slave or whatever/02:43
Cheri703?02:43
Cheri703wouldn't that be faster/easier?02:44
jgouldI don't have the equipment.  It's a PATA drive and I had an enclousre at one point... (This is a laptop)02:44
Cheri703ah, ok02:44
jgouldDad sent me a text message today: "Is the Dell in hospice?"02:45
Cheri703if you can wait til tomorrow, you could hit microcenter and get this: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=028594102:45
Cheri703I have one, they're wonderful02:45
Cheri703and cheap02:45
jgouldRight now it would need to be free cheap02:47
Cheri703well, I guess if installing and installing and installing is preferable to $13, then go for it :) I've had projects like that, where I have the time, but not the money02:48
jgouldI'm about to install this laptop out the window...02:49
Cheri703hehe02:49
jgouldOnly peice of hardware this thing doesn't see is the wireless card.  But it's a Broadcom 4306... I think htat's in teh STA02:56
canthus13jgould: 4306?03:57
canthus13That's a crappy card. STA doesn't support it, and the bcm driver doesn't do it very well. :/03:57
canthus13My kid's laptop has that chipset.. It's great for cracking wep, but it can't maintain a connection for 5 minutes without freezing.03:57
jgouldI thought you said it was a creepy card03:58
* jgould blinks04:06
jgouldSMART is not available.  What the hell does that mean?04:06
jgouldDoes that mean that the drive is damaged or does taht mean thatt the SMART sensor (or what ever) can't be read by the tools in 9.10?04:24
* jgould waits on an upgrade to 10.0404:31
canthus13jgould: It probably means that smart isn't available for the drive... or BIOS doesn't have it enabled... or it's not enabled on the drive itself.04:57
jgouldhmm...  Stupid comptuers05:40
canthus13Maybe computers just hate you like they do my wife...05:58
jgouldThat could be, canthus13, that could be07:15
Unit193Doesn't like my sister...07:15
