[00:51] <BiosElement> Ahaha
[00:51] <BiosElement> Verizion sucks
[00:51] <BiosElement> $10 bucks for 75MB
[00:51] <BiosElement> You've gotta be kidding me.
[00:51] <BiosElement> Oh Oh, and even if you buy a more expensive plan, it's 10 bucks a gig overage
[01:23] <Cheri703> yeah BiosElement, that's why I heart sprint, unlimited data ftw
[02:05]  * jgould frowns
[02:07] <jgould> Hmm... 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 Toledo
[02:09] <jgould> Any one know why I can boot 9.04 on this lappy, but not anything newer?
[02:28] <Cheri703> jgould: hardware?
[02:29] <Cheri703> also, latitude was always weird
[02:30] <Cheri703> jgould: 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 happily
[02:31] <Cheri703> something about the hardware wouldn't take the newer install methods properly
[02:41] <jgould> This 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...
[02:42] <jgould> I'm starting at 9.04 and working my way up until I get to something that will give me SMART status on the primary disk
[02:43] <Cheri703> couldn't you just put the disk in another machine?
[02:43] <Cheri703> as a slave or whatever/
[02:43] <Cheri703> ?
[02:44] <Cheri703> wouldn't that be faster/easier?
[02:44] <jgould> I don't have the equipment.  It's a PATA drive and I had an enclousre at one point... (This is a laptop)
[02:44] <Cheri703> ah, ok
[02:45] <jgould> Dad sent me a text message today: "Is the Dell in hospice?"
[02:45] <Cheri703> if you can wait til tomorrow, you could hit microcenter and get this: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0285941
[02:45] <Cheri703> I have one, they're wonderful
[02:45] <Cheri703> and cheap
[02:47] <jgould> Right now it would need to be free cheap
[02:48] <Cheri703> well, 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 money
[02:49] <jgould> I'm about to install this laptop out the window...
[02:49] <Cheri703> hehe
[02:56] <jgould> Only peice of hardware this thing doesn't see is the wireless card.  But it's a Broadcom 4306... I think htat's in teh STA
[03:57] <canthus13> jgould: 4306?
[03:57] <canthus13> That's a crappy card. STA doesn't support it, and the bcm driver doesn't do it very well. :/
[03:57] <canthus13> My kid's laptop has that chipset.. It's great for cracking wep, but it can't maintain a connection for 5 minutes without freezing.
[03:58] <jgould> I thought you said it was a creepy card
[04:06]  * jgould blinks
[04:06] <jgould> SMART is not available.  What the hell does that mean?
[04:24] <jgould> Does 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?
[04:31]  * jgould waits on an upgrade to 10.04
[04:57] <canthus13> jgould: 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.
[05:40] <jgould> hmm...  Stupid comptuers
[05:58] <canthus13> Maybe computers just hate you like they do my wife...
[07:15] <jgould> That could be, canthus13, that could be
[07:15] <Unit193> Doesn't like my sister...
[12:50] <dmcglone> Morning all
[15:45] <thafreak> Morning Ohio
[15:46] <canthus13> blargh.
[15:52] <Cheri703> blarghy blargh
[16:10] <canthus13> :)
[16:14]  * Cheri703 is relaxing today, have had a busy week
[16:15] <Cheri703> then later going to pick up the car from my friend and we are getting haircuts tonight
[16:22]  * canthus13 snickers.  http://www.lolbrary.com/new/3806/they-told-me-it-was-bath-time/
[16:22] <canthus13> Car?
[16:28] <Cheri703> some friends of ours let us use their car sometimes
[16:29] <Cheri703> we've actually not borrowed it for a while, but the place we need to go is outside of our usual areas
[16:43] <canthus13> Oh. Cool. :)
[17:34] <canthus13> Hah. I just got complimented on my american accent... THe woman couldn't believe I"m in mumbai. :)
[17:34] <Unit193> Haha! Nice....
