jedijfInHisName: vnc12:49
JonathanDyes.12:49
jedijfInHisName: there should be a 'remote desktop' under admin or use x11vnc and then any vnc client on remote machine12:50
jedijfInHisName: vnc is 5900+ port, rdp uses 338912:52
InHisNameRemote windows from library etc. HAS vnc installed ????  Where to find in start menu ?13:46
InHisNameOr at friends house or other random locations.13:46
InHisNameMost places seem to have Remote Desktop client installed and not disabled.13:47
ChinnoDogsup peeps14:00
jthanWOOO!14:09
adomhai14:12
adomJonathanD: my two office LCDs are 1600x900, my home desktop has a 1680x1050. its not bad14:14
adom*the 1600x900 isnt bad compared to 1680x1050 *14:14
JonathanDadom: So, on a laptop, you don't think I'll hate going 1680x1050 to 1600x900 (keeping in mind I only have one screen...)14:24
adomJonathanD: nah nothin to worry about14:52
JonathanDadom: k, thanks.14:52
JonathanDI was leaning towards the 1920x1080, but I don't really want to pay for it :P14:53
adomJonathanD: *drool*14:53
JonathanDheh.14:53
JonathanDThough I'll still get it if I can sell some more stuff soon enough.14:54
JonathanDMaybe.14:54
JonathanDLower native res might be better if I'm going to play any games on it...14:55
ChinnoDogI need a bigger desk so I can have more monitors14:55
JonathanD:D14:56
JonathanDI need that thinkpad with the pop-out second monitor.14:56
ChinnoDogThose things must be really heavy14:56
ChinnoDogIt is hard for me to imagine using a fold out monitor on a "laptop"14:57
* ChinnoDog pictures unbalanced laptop with second monitor rolling off his lap and breaking into a million pieces on the floor14:57
adomif you wanted a little second screen for you laptop once and awhile, you could pack one of these: http://www.amazon.com/MIMO-UM-710S-Powered-Swivel-Display/dp/B002RMPASG15:39
adomive wanted to try one for awhile but never did. supposedly pretty nice. powered and connected via usb.15:39
JonathanDI would like it, but it would really be too bulky :P15:44
JonathanDI just always need moar screen.15:44
ChinnoDogSeems like a laptop with a small screen + display glasses would be better15:45

PennBotTitle: Top 10 video glasses! (at www.coolbuzz.org)15:48
ChinnoDogThe toshiba one looks really funny15:48
adomChinnoDog: i lawled thinking about watching someone using the Toshiba one16:04
adomtrying to move 40lbs of headgear around quickly and hurting their neck16:04
ChinnoDogIt supposedly weighs 3kg16:04
ChinnoDogbut still, that is a lot16:05
ChinnoDogIt is even funnier to imagine a few people sitting around together wearing them16:05
ChinnoDogI think you should get one of those so you can go outside with it adom16:06
ChinnoDogOr keep one in the car so passengers can use it. That will look totally normal.16:07
adomplay a virtual reality game about walking outside. its too big to use inside though so you have to use it outside. it makes everything feel so real.16:09

Sadinwell its a good CMS but if you have other options id take them21:31
MutantTurkeywhy21:31
