[01:58] <thafreak> grr...i hate having to reboot servers just because processes get stuck
[01:59] <thafreak> especially when you have over 1 year uptime :(
[01:59] <thafreak> well i guess it's worse when it's *almost* 1 year uptime...
[02:01] <yano> ouchie
[02:14] <thafreak> yeah, especially when it's your VM host...and all the stuff you depend on runs as vms on it
[02:31] <canthus13> VMS?
[02:31] <Unit193> RMS*
[02:31] <canthus13> they still use VMS?
[02:31] <canthus13> Unit193: that's a dirty word.
[02:32] <Unit193> :D
[02:32] <canthus13> or a word with poor hygeine, at least.
[02:32] <Unit193> You can at least install vrms - Virtual RMS. :D
[02:34] <canthus13> The only reason I'd install that is to see how low of a score I can get.
[02:37] <yano> RMS is really a VMS
[02:41] <Unit193>   9 non-free packages, 0.4% of 2292 installed packages.
[02:41] <Unit193>   2 contrib packages, 0.1% of 2292 installed packages.
[02:41] <Unit193> :D
[14:40] <thafreak> Morning Ohio
[14:40] <yano> good morning :-)
[14:50] <thafreak> what's so good about it
[14:50] <thafreak> j/k
[14:50] <thafreak> i know i started it
[14:50] <yano> this, http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=ILN&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes
[14:51] <thafreak> because you're going to get rain?
[14:51] <yano> yes \o/
[14:51] <yano> and lightning
[14:51] <yano> rain, thunder, and lightning: oh my!
[14:51] <thafreak> i could use some rain I guess...no lightning though...have enough misbehaving electronics as it is
[14:52] <thafreak> speaking of lightning...anyone have any tips for lightning-proofing phone lines?
[14:52] <thafreak> had an analog phone system card fry on me a few months back
[14:53] <thafreak> and I'm finally replacing it...don't want it to happen again...waste of $500
[14:53] <thafreak> do the surge protectors with phone line plugs work?
[14:54] <yano> i believe so, though i haven't been in a situation to test it though
[14:54] <thafreak> probably should do some research
[14:55] <thafreak> i think I saw some one talking about coiling copper or something, but don't know if that would be useful in my situation
[14:58] <thafreak> what do you guys think about mozilla axing thunderbird???
[14:58] <thafreak> http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57467973-93/mozilla-calling-it-quits-on-thunderbird-report-says/?goback=%2Egde_77477_member_135739306
[15:00] <thafreak> ok so they're not axing it, but moving resources away and only focusing on security/maintanence fixes
[15:00] <thafreak> and hoping the "comminity" will drive innovation
[15:16] <canthus13> mail clients are becoming a niche market.
[22:03] <thafreak> So, I found an old disk image I created, and I think I used a really old version of ghost
[22:04] <thafreak> found a trial version of ghost 6, and it said the image was created with a version older than 3 so it couldn't do anything
[22:04] <thafreak> any ideas on either where to find an ancient version of ghost, or does anyone know of something that can read old ghost images?
[22:07] <canthus13> call norton?
[22:07] <thafreak> it appears that new versions should be able to open it, and they have trial versions...
[22:08] <thafreak> my luck, i didn't even use ghost and this is a wild goose chase
[22:15] <canthus13> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ghost-software-linux-ghost-server-204119/
[22:15] <canthus13> might be able to mount it...
[22:20] <canthus13> Oh. have you checked the magic number to see if you can find the actual file type?
[22:23] <thafreak> yah, file just spits out weird escape chars...
[22:25] <thafreak>  \0 "\376\357\001"
[22:25] <thafreak> That
[22:25] <thafreak> that's the file type of the image :)
[22:40] <toddc> I thought Norton made motorcycles!!! :)
[22:53]  * canthus13 mounts a motorcycle.
[23:05] <dzho> Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do . . .
[23:39] <toddc> is still trying to get the image of canthus13  mounting a motorcycle out of my head. shivers and walks away shacking his head!!!! :)
[23:39] <canthus13> Heh.
[23:40] <toddc> I ride my motorcycle not mount it on a wall
