[14:51] <Xpistos> Hey all
[14:52] <Xpistos> Appearantly, the job I interviewed for wants to talk to me after I countered. So cross 'em for the kid!
[14:53] <wrst> cool Xpistos
[14:54] <Xpistos> I did get the medical premiums from them and they were LARGE
[15:03] <wrst> ouch :\
[15:32] <Xpistos> we figured x2 of what I am used to but they came out about $30 more per check
[16:08] <wrst> this is something to look at : http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/windows-8-certified-computers-may-not.html
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <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
[16:26] <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
[16:27] <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
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <cyberanger> get the win8 bootloader to pass off to grub2 and boot
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <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
[16:33] <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)
[16:35] <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))
[16:36] <cyberanger> there is some things there that make me think running windows 8 would be a headache for them
[16:45] <cyberanger> wrst: I'm already seeing comments that show people seeing this as a dare
[16:46] <cyberanger> so, I expect dualbooting to be the only real thorn (and expect it won't be for long)
[16:57] <wrst> great thing about linux generally no problem is too big
[19:41] <Xpistos> Look at all the CHATTA!
[20:06] <orias> lol
