[00:51] Ahaha [00:51] Verizion sucks [00:51] $10 bucks for 75MB [00:51] You've gotta be kidding me. [00:51] Oh Oh, and even if you buy a more expensive plan, it's 10 bucks a gig overage [01:23] yeah BiosElement, that's why I heart sprint, unlimited data ftw [02:05] * jgould frowns [02:07] 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] Any one know why I can boot 9.04 on this lappy, but not anything newer? [02:28] jgould: hardware? [02:29] also, latitude was always weird [02:30] 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] something about the hardware wouldn't take the newer install methods properly [02:41] 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] 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] couldn't you just put the disk in another machine? [02:43] as a slave or whatever/ [02:43] ? [02:44] wouldn't that be faster/easier? [02:44] 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] ah, ok [02:45] Dad sent me a text message today: "Is the Dell in hospice?" [02:45] 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] I have one, they're wonderful [02:45] and cheap [02:47] Right now it would need to be free cheap [02:48] 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] I'm about to install this laptop out the window... [02:49] hehe [02:56] 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] jgould: 4306? [03:57] That's a crappy card. STA doesn't support it, and the bcm driver doesn't do it very well. :/ [03:57] 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] I thought you said it was a creepy card [04:06] * jgould blinks [04:06] SMART is not available. What the hell does that mean? [04:24] 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] 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] hmm... Stupid comptuers [05:58] Maybe computers just hate you like they do my wife... [07:15] That could be, canthus13, that could be [07:15] Doesn't like my sister... [12:50] Morning all [15:45] Morning Ohio [15:46] blargh. [15:52] blarghy blargh [16:10] :) [16:14] * Cheri703 is relaxing today, have had a busy week [16:15] 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] Car? [16:28] some friends of ours let us use their car sometimes [16:29] we've actually not borrowed it for a while, but the place we need to go is outside of our usual areas [16:43] Oh. Cool. :) [17:34] Hah. I just got complimented on my american accent... THe woman couldn't believe I"m in mumbai. :) [17:34] Haha! Nice....
