| Xpistos | Hey all | 14:51 |
|---|---|---|
| Xpistos | Appearantly, the job I interviewed for wants to talk to me after I countered. So cross 'em for the kid! | 14:52 |
| wrst | cool Xpistos | 14:53 |
| Xpistos | I did get the medical premiums from them and they were LARGE | 14:54 |
| wrst | ouch :\ | 15:03 |
| Xpistos | we figured x2 of what I am used to but they came out about $30 more per check | 15:32 |
| wrst | this is something to look at : http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/windows-8-certified-computers-may-not.html | 16:08 |
| cyberanger | wrst: may I point out a similar matter | 16:24 |
| cyberanger | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 16:24 |
| cyberanger | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD | 16:24 |
| wrst | good point cyberanger | 16:24 |
| cyberanger | people have said we couldn't play all three of those in linux, at some point in time | 16:25 |
| wrst | yep and they work well | 16:25 |
| wrst | well i don't know about bluray | 16:25 |
| cyberanger | there are ways to boot ubuntu from the Vista bootloader (which is pretty much the same for windows 7) there are ways to boot from the xp bootloader | 16:26 |
| cyberanger | granted xp isn't a UEFI bootloader, and the vista bootloader I've not used with UEFI, but point is, I bet they forget to remove some remnants of it, and probally leave the CD drive alone | 16:27 |
| cyberanger | so there could be a way to install ubuntu and turn off the signed bootloader concern, or even reinstall the windows 8 signed bootloader | 16:28 |
| cyberanger | get the win8 bootloader to pass off to grub2 and boot | 16:29 |
| wrst | that makes sense I had a feeling that was some unnecessary gloom and doom | 16:30 |
| wrst | with MS Security there is always an easy way around | 16:30 |
| cyberanger | well, there is concern, but I've seen a lot of headbanging on a wall with problems like this (I listed dvd's due to everyone's use of them, but my T-Mobile G2 was a real puzzle to root for a long while | 16:31 |
| cyberanger | the so called NAND lock issue, and it was beaten in a month, very low level issue, also most of us here probally use non EFI gear (I have EFI on my netbook, got peices of a computer to build, mobo is EFI or Bios, predates this so I'd be ok) | 16:33 |
| cyberanger | now I wonder about computer builders that dual boot (lets say school or work requirement, the reason I've dealt with windows since 2006 (before that I didn't own my own rig, so I couldn't install, livecd it was)) | 16:35 |
| cyberanger | there is some things there that make me think running windows 8 would be a headache for them | 16:36 |
| cyberanger | wrst: I'm already seeing comments that show people seeing this as a dare | 16:45 |
| cyberanger | so, I expect dualbooting to be the only real thorn (and expect it won't be for long) | 16:46 |
| wrst | great thing about linux generally no problem is too big | 16:57 |
| Xpistos | Look at all the CHATTA! | 19:41 |
| orias | lol | 20:06 |
