[05:01] <thafreak> Wow, 11 days and the newest server I own will have uptime of a year...
[05:01] <thafreak> explains the itch to go buy new hardware...haven't done it in a year :)
[17:37] <thafreak> <rant>
[17:37] <thafreak> So, there's this student...who's going to be a sophmore or is a sophmore
[17:37] <thafreak> and is supposedly a computer science major
[17:38] <thafreak> but "html" is the extent of her "programming" knowledge...
[17:38] <thafreak> WTF!?!?!
[17:38] <thafreak> </rant>
[17:38] <thafreak> What's wrong with kids these days...
[17:38] <thafreak> I was programming in elementary/middle school...nothing crazy, but still
[17:39] <thafreak> If you're not the type of person who at the very least, TRIES to learn some programming in k-12, why the HELL are you going into CS?!?!?!
[17:40] <thafreak> that's like some one who's going into electrical engineering, but never took anything electrical appart before being in college
[17:40] <thafreak> ok, so apparatnly I put the </rant> way too early
[17:48] <Unit193> I'm not exactly into programming, only tinker a tiny bit in C, python, ruby, or whatever else it's written in, but I didn't plan on being in programming. :)
[17:49] <thafreak> are you a CS major in college?
[17:52] <Unit193> Nope.
[17:53] <thafreak> then you're not the problem :)
[17:53] <thafreak> you're in HS aren't you?
[17:54] <Unit193> I'm going into a computer related dept (IS, IT, whatever you like to call it), but not programming.
[17:57] <thafreak> Why can't all people going into college be like you
[17:57] <thafreak> plus you're in an IRC chatroom
[17:57] <thafreak> you're ahead of the curve
[17:57] <thafreak> probably 9/10 incoming CS freshman would give you a blank stare if you asked them what IRC was
[17:58] <Unit193> Heh, got a blank look when I told someone they'd have to have a HDMI port on their laptop.
[18:00] <Unit193> And yeah, that's just bad.
[18:03] <jandrusk> Wow
[18:04] <jandrusk> Kids these days.
[18:05] <Unit193> Cheri703: You don't happen to be around do you?
[18:05] <thafreak> I can understand senior citizens not knowing what an hdmi port is, but I get frustrated when my wife forgets...she should know that, anyone under 60 should
[18:05] <thafreak> unless they don't own a tv
[18:05] <Cheri703> for a little while longer
[18:07] <Unit193> Ah, then maybe not.  Major computer issues, and was wondering if you had hints, but don't want to tie you up.
[18:07] <Cheri703> I have about 10 minutes
[18:08] <Unit193> Basically, windows partition went missing after a bad stint with a partitiontool+bootrec (latter really killed it), so I'm trying to hunt it down with testddisk.
[18:08] <Unit193> -d
[18:17] <Cheri703> ew, good luck!
[18:17] <Cheri703> I used "partition find and mount" in the past with some success, iirc it is for windows
[18:17] <Unit193> Heh, thanks, I'll really need it.
[18:18] <Unit193> Yep, but can't boot windows since that's the lost partition. :P
[18:18] <Cheri703> any other computer?
[18:18] <Unit193> No, not windows.
[18:21] <Cheri703> alright, off to work. good luck
[18:22] <Unit193> Don't kill people!
