Simply use a search engine and search for change dns windows xp, change dns windows 7 or change dns mac os according to your needs.
  • GRC DNS Benchmark's advantage over other products such as namebench: it not only offers the fastest servers, but also lets you see their reliability.
  • Christmas gift for Rachel Xu: a Christmas pickle.
  • Contest: Click Race. Congratulations to Jot who won the Pogoplug and Knightstarr who won 250 Category5 Viewer Points as the runner up.

    (06:59:56 PM) simon-seez: Jot thanks alot
    (07:00:07 PM) evermind: ahh, ok
    (07:00:13 PM) Garbee: Jot, That will work, if someone wants to stick to MS proprietary software for running the VM, which is not a good idea.
    (07:00:15 PM) evermind: to tell the truth i never run these inside vbox
    (07:00:24 PM) evermind: always worked with vmware there
    (07:00:28 PM) Garbee: tordeu, using dd would cause driver issues.
    (07:00:47 PM) SammySez: simon-seez: I've used Paragon to do that, as well as VMware tools
    (07:01:23 PM) tordeu: really? I only tried that with a USB stick one. But only to access data on it.
    (07:01:24 PM) Garbee: RobbieF, If she starts laughing uncontrollably, can you turn her mic off then too?
    (07:01:28 PM) SammySez: Rachel looks like a giant candy cane

    (07:02:01 PM) Garbee: tordeu, Yea. dd copies bit-by-bit, which means drivers go too, and once booted in a VM, kernel panics will occur due to the drivers not being able to work properly.
    (07:02:07 PM) ***agamotto bows
    (07:02:21 PM) _Jot_: hi agamotto

    (07:11:52 PM) ***Garbee has Logan's Roadhouse food on the way... Can't wait.
    (07:12:06 PM) agamotto: chrisreich- yes, we were hoping for fewer this year, but it didn't work out that way

    (07:13:34 PM) agamotto: I still haven't figured out how so many out-of-area people got their hands on our telephone number. This year, I was getting registration requests from all over the country.

    (07:14:35 PM) Dave-Maydew: Which media software is better Moovida or XBMC?
    (07:15:05 PM) agamotto: Dave-Maydew- Something of a toss-up. Do you need to record telly at all?
    (07:15:17 PM) Garbee: With that command, you *might* need to specify a filesystem type. Most modern linux systems will autodetect the FS though if not provided.
    (07:15:19 PM) Dave-Maydew: nah
    (07:15:36 PM) Garbee: dave-maydew, Depends on your use case and likes as far as UI.
    (07:15:48 PM) Dave-Maydew: just want to be able to stream YouTube etc. onto my 32" LCD
    (07:15:50 PM) agamotto: Dave-Maydew- Either will do then. Matter of UI preferences
    (07:16:10 PM) chrisreich: RobbieF does this mean that addressing files in /tmp is actually using a symbolic link to their real location?

    (07:16:47 PM) chrisreich: I learned something today. So g'night all.
    (07:16:52 PM) Scorpio55: Dave-Maydew Boxee comes with loads of features movies, tv etc
    (07:16:57 PM) RachelXu: all this info is way over my head
    (07:16:58 PM) agamotto: dman810- modprobe alsa?
    (07:17:01 PM) Garbee: You can also pipe that output into grep in order to look for certain phrases or terms within the output. -- pipe output of ls -R -all $sharename .
    (07:17:11 PM) Dave-Maydew: Cheers Scorpio
    (07:17:39 PM) tordeu: dman810 - have you checked the sound preferences. Maybe you just muted the sound of the ALSA plug-in that the player uses.
    (07:17:50 PM) Scorpio55: Dave-Maydew movies and tv streaming for FREE
    (07:18:06 PM) dman810: tordeu tried that! nothing seems muted
    (07:18:06 PM) Dave-Maydew: Well, my 7" Android Tablet has arrived but it's wrapped up
    (07:18:07 PM) agamotto: I found the Boxee software to be tempermental
    (07:18:10 PM) OldGuyJim: RachelXu, Robbie is speaking the language of Unix.
    (07:18:31 PM) _Jot_: RachelXu, strange, it works the same on macintosh
    (07:18:32 PM) Garbee: RobbieF, Wiki link for what?
    (07:18:40 PM) agamotto: RachelXu- These are the incantations of a technomage... beyond your ken.
    (07:18:41 PM) Garbee: ^^ I missed what you were saying.
    (07:18:43 PM) ***agamotto chuckles
    (07:18:44 PM) chrisreich: you've got to define 'better'.
    (07:18:58 PM) dman810: agamotto - modprobe alsa in a terminal?
    (07:19:04 PM) agamotto: dman810- yes
    (07:19:11 PM) dman810: says module alsa not found
    (07:19:11 PM) Dave-Maydew: RobbieF thanks for the answer
    (07:19:19 PM) dman810: do I need to install that then?
    (07:19:27 PM) agamotto: dman810- that is most likely the problem then
    (07:19:31 PM) dman810: k
    (07:19:39 PM) chrisreich: agamotto, just because RachelXu is lovely doesn't mean she's dumb! :-)
    (07:19:46 PM) Dave-Maydew: Watching Cat5tv on 32" LCD RobbieF
    (07:19:54 PM) lunatichead: quick way to send a mail for the same info find nas | mail -s “list of songs” yourname@domain.com
    (07:19:56 PM) Breebree left the room ("WeeChat 0.3.6").
    (07:20:04 PM) dman810: thats sweet Dave-Maydew

    (07:20:14 PM) dman810 is now known as Dennis_Kelley
    (07:20:15 PM) Garbee: I didn't think alsa was a module...
    (07:20:18 PM) Dave-Maydew: RobbieF cheers
    (07:20:30 PM) OldGuyJim: dman810...it is possible either the sound driver or the sound card has gone south. Try rebooting to see if you can hear sound when the OS starts up.
    (07:20:38 PM) chrisreich: okay, I made an unwarranted leap - and I'm just playing around :-)
    (07:20:48 PM) agamotto: Garbee- 10.10 has odd problems with treating it as one.
    (07:21:06 PM) Garbee: Yea, alsa is not a module... but, here is a list of alsa modules for different sound devices. So find yours and modprobe that... http://alsa.opensrc.org/ALSA_modules
    (07:21:13 PM) tordeu: dman810, try pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio --start

    (07:22:17 PM) agamotto: Bekah- I hear that we are being serenaded this evening...
    (07:22:27 PM) RachelXu: ah yes totleys dont want to sleep
    (07:22:30 PM) Garbee: Don't use a PPA unless you KNOW you need a newer version of ALSA. Upgrading could cause issues with other software.
    (07:22:32 PM) SammySez: but card manufacturers are not bound to that standard
    (07:22:45 PM) SammySez: one manufacture's Class 10 may be another's Class 4
    (07:23:07 PM) _Jot_: RachelXu, did you feed them milkshake and the sugar is keeping them awake?
    (07:23:22 PM) agamotto: Garbee- 10.10 shouldn't give troubles with PPA.... now, 11.10 I can understand giving warning about.
    (07:23:22 PM) RachelXu: yes that must be it
    (07:23:35 PM) Breebree [~Breebree@pD9E4CCE3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] entered the room.

    (07:24:37 PM) chrisreich: that's why I still enjoy film photography
    (07:24:46 PM) RachelXu: except being evil i brought them no goodies today

    (07:26:05 PM) Dave-Maydew: hahahahahahaha
    (07:26:06 PM) chrisreich: a question for RobbieF - what conditioner do you prefer after shampooing?
    (07:26:18 PM) ajamison5579: Elton John 70's Flash backs
    (07:26:23 PM) chrisreich: the elton john glasses!

    (07:28:46 PM) agamotto: According to Puss-n-Boots, it is also a mean insult
    (07:28:46 PM) Dave-Maydew: RobbieF mentioning wind again to Rachel
    (07:28:51 PM) GoodGuy: RachelXu, Take a look at Sandboxie (Windows)
    (07:28:54 PM) chrisreich: I now use the guest account in Mac OS X to do my secure browsing. I only access facebook this way now.

    (07:29:41 PM) chrisreich: thanks agamotto - I was using a virtual linux box for a while but realized there was an easier way.
    (07:29:55 PM) ajamison5579: My brother would do that just to watch me go nuts trying to fix it
    (07:30:14 PM) agamotto: chrisreich- as long as it works.... I do my 'secure' browsing from a live cd
    (07:30:29 PM) chrisreich: another good way, agamotto

    (07:30:55 PM) gsiegel: How about giving some of that money to those of us to have to remove those softwares
    (07:30:58 PM) OldGuyJim: Yah...we've been cleaning those bugs off of teacher computers at work.
    (07:31:00 PM) Dennis_kelley: so are the glasses actually there or is it green screen?
    (07:31:14 PM) Dave-Maydew left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed).

    (07:31:22 PM) Dennis_kelley: sweet
    (07:31:29 PM) GoodGuy: Ubuntu Privacy Remix has TAILS on it as well
    (07:31:33 PM) Dennis_kelley: I have audio now so that helps?
    (07:31:39 PM) gsiegel: or are they all in the cloud ?
    (07:31:53 PM) ajamison5579: RachelXu it is where you plug in your pogo duh lol
    (07:31:57 PM) SammySez: tails rulz
    (07:32:09 PM) OldGuyJim: Dennis_kelley...what fixed the audio?
    (07:32:15 PM) agamotto: Robbie needs to turn down the Star of Bethlehem over his head... :)
    (07:32:25 PM) _Jot_: Rachel, they also have software that does the same, so you don't need a device, you can also install it on your computer
    (07:32:33 PM) lunatichead: thats the Reflection!!!
    (07:32:46 PM) gsiegel: Anyone been playing with Mint 12 ? Mate work nice on old del with 1gb ram

    (07:33:06 PM) GoodGuy: RobbieF, - I tried the Pogoplug software and it wasnt working on my PC (Windows)
    (07:33:23 PM) GoodGuy: I also own a Pogoplug V2 and that works ok
    (07:33:26 PM) SammySez: GoodGuy - that's cuz it's Winblows
    (07:33:27 PM) lunatichead: MATE is Good... works well with a 512 as well with p4 tried it on an old PC
    (07:33:34 PM) agamotto: To think of all the money I saved using those round, shiny things...
    (07:33:35 PM) ajamison5579: Robbief can you not make your own in the back yard with a saudering iron and some raw silicon, plastic
    (07:33:35 PM) GoodGuy: Probably :-(
    (07:33:39 PM) chrisreich: I was so happy to find my first flash drive at $50 for two gigabytes that I bought two of them!
    (07:33:43 PM) RachelXu: i cant believe i just looked for the star
    (07:33:47 PM) RachelXu: i was like w hat are you on about
    (07:33:51 PM) tordeu: 64MB? Great, with too of them I could backup my boot partition
    (07:33:58 PM) tordeu: *two
    (07:34:01 PM) GoodGuy: I contacted them but never got it going
    (07:34:03 PM) Dennis_kelley: GoodGuy - Pogoplug software works great for my win box
    (07:34:25 PM) agamotto: moi
    (07:34:26 PM) gsiegel: its actually a floating cloud
    (07:34:29 PM) Garbee: I think that glow is actually subliminal advertising.
    (07:34:44 PM) GoodGuy: Wish mine did Dennis_kelley .. I tried shutting the firewal off, adding port forward to my router etc
    (07:35:03 PM) GoodGuy: They did contact me, but we never got it working
    (07:35:32 PM) SammySez: what?!? Windows has issues? Say it isn't so!
    (07:35:46 PM) Trekkie00 left the room ("WeeChat 0.3.6").

    (07:36:04 PM) smittysmit: for all of you that take take care of company machines, watch out for re directs to get-answers-fast. Had to wipe the drive
    (07:36:10 PM) SammySez: GoodGuy - same here - they told me to buy a Maxtor drive because their software (P: drive) didn't work - seriously
    (07:36:14 PM) agamotto: smittysmit- ouch
    (07:36:23 PM) GoodGuy: I ran out of ideas.. I was thinking of connecting w/o a router just to eliminate that factor
    (07:36:27 PM) Dennis_kelley: anyone know of a good GRUB tutorial
    (07:36:34 PM) Trekkie00 [~wally@p54A6B1E1.dip.t-dialin.net] entered the room.
    (07:37:09 PM) GoodGuy: I got the Linux Drive software in the past... I believe I did the old Windows drive in the past
    (07:37:28 PM) agamotto: Sounds like something Best Buy would try
    (07:37:30 PM) SammySez: pogoplugfs
    (07:37:30 PM) Scorpio55: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
    (07:37:32 PM) ajamison5579: Do they not have video cameras over the cashiers in Canada?
    (07:37:33 PM) Garbee: RachelXu, Trust me, I have people sign those all day... NO ONE READS THE RECEIPT THEY SIGN!
    (07:37:35 PM) _Jot_: Robbief, Can I have some of that money you swiped to go shopping?
    (07:37:38 PM) GoodGuy: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html
    (07:37:39 PM) ajamison5579: they have them all over here
    (07:38:12 PM) agamotto: Garbee- I must be weird then... I actually hold up the line until I am finished reading them.
    (07:38:23 PM) OldGuyJim: RobbieF...I heard the same thing...it pays to check your receipt.
    (07:38:32 PM) RachelXu: i guess im cheap i always read my receipts
    (07:38:32 PM) Garbee: RobbieF, Yes, It does happen. I have heard of a few cases in the areas around me.
    (07:38:56 PM) chrisreich: I paid for a $4.95 purchase once with a five dollar bill and got 38 cents change once.
    (07:39:13 PM) tordeu: Math is hard.
    (07:39:30 PM) agamotto: Just check it out with Snopes,com first, before having panic attack.
    (07:39:31 PM) Garbee: RachelXu, No, you just care to make sure that you are signing the right paper for the right amount.
    (07:39:40 PM) _Jot_: chrisreich, that's accurate, your dollar is worth so little, that inflation made the 38ct worth the same as 5ct in the time it took to grab the change
    (07:39:46 PM) agamotto: I suppose the best solution would be to ditch any card, and just pay cash...
    (07:40:05 PM) GoodGuy: 75.75.75.75
    (07:40:16 PM) Garbee: If this is openDNS...
    (07:40:17 PM) GoodGuy: Google DNS
    (07:40:49 PM) chrisreich: but it was all currency from the same country. I blamed the local school system. I straightened her out in the end. She didn't even seem embarassed, _Jot_
    (07:40:53 PM) Garbee: Poor Canadians... always needing to use .ca vs .com... So much more memorization work.
    (07:41:04 PM) GoodGuy: 75.75.75.75 is Comcast
    (07:41:21 PM) tordeu: try 127.0.0.1 That's me!
    (07:41:30 PM) GoodGuy: lol tordeu
    (07:41:34 PM) gsiegel: tordeau is a loop..lol
    (07:41:34 PM) RachelXu: yes Garbee its almost too much to bear
    (07:41:35 PM) _Jot_: chrisreich, I am sure they care, but they handle money all day long so it isn't such a big deal for them
    (07:41:35 PM) Garbee: 127.56.73.23 is me.
    (07:41:39 PM) GoodGuy: not it's ME
    (07:41:53 PM) chrisreich: "There's no place like 127.0.0.1"
    (07:42:01 PM) tordeu: What? But I always get that IP.
    (07:42:12 PM) RachelXu: all i can say is thankgoodness im no longer in customer service
    (07:42:13 PM) agamotto: fe:e3:21:a5:c3;ff
    (07:42:27 PM) Raffer: i hacked 127.0.0.1
    (07:42:38 PM) agamotto: Very good program... I use it every few months under WINE
    (07:42:39 PM) Garbee: Wow, I hope Robbie isn't just now learning about this program...
    (07:43:07 PM) Garbee: It runs fine in Wine since Steve writes in Machine Language.
    (07:43:11 PM) RachelXu: anyone interested in learning any other techniques in photoshop i can show some next time im around
    (07:43:12 PM) SammySez: heh heh - Whine
    (07:43:19 PM) SammySez: never could get that to work
    (07:43:23 PM) blagger [~User@85.210.79.172] entered the room.
    (07:43:24 PM) chrisreich: WINE works on the Mac?
    (07:43:28 PM) agamotto: FRED should be able to handle it under Mac
    (07:43:32 PM) lunatichead: Hey RobbieF : check out vinit@vinit-desktop:~$ sudo aptitude search namebench
    (07:43:33 PM) _Jot_: RachelXu, what you're doing right now is customer service, in a way... oops! Sorry
    (07:43:35 PM) RachelXu: who is fred
    (07:43:39 PM) Garbee: RobbieF, You might not want to do a full benchmark on air...
    (07:43:40 PM) GoodGuy: No Photoshop RachelXu
    (07:43:49 PM) _Jot_: RachelXu, we're always interested in learning
    (07:43:51 PM) lunatichead: RobbieF: check out Namebench
    (07:43:58 PM) u-al: Video is out of sync for me
    (07:44:02 PM) lunatichead: that's in the Ubuntu repos
    (07:44:15 PM) GoodGuy: Namebench is from Google?
    (07:44:15 PM) tordeu: yeah, it's oos for me as well.
    (07:44:19 PM) agamotto: FRED is a way to run Linux and some Win bits under Mac
    (07:44:33 PM) tordeu: But just a little
    (07:44:34 PM) smittysmit left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed).
    (07:44:43 PM) agamotto: GoodGuy- yes, script from google labs that is still up

    (07:44:58 PM) SammySez: Gibson Research rulz
    (07:45:12 PM) blagger: just run your own resolver locally..hard to beat that
    (07:45:31 PM) agamotto: Steve wrote some of the best Amiga security tools
    (07:45:47 PM) GoodGuy: I blocked Yahoo Games via host file... my wife was NOT a happy camper
    (07:46:02 PM) agamotto: GoodGuy- I imagine not
    (07:46:09 PM) RachelXu: there arent any good yahoo games anyway
    (07:46:17 PM) GoodGuy: I was just kidding her, but she didn't see the humor
    (07:46:28 PM) RachelXu: your lucky you escaped with your life
    (07:46:34 PM) GoodGuy: Now I am a Facebook game widow lol
    (07:46:35 PM) agamotto: My mum gets toasty every time one of her 'coupon printers' disappears from her computer.
    (07:46:36 PM) gsiegel left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed).
    (07:46:39 PM) SammySez: what IPs are in that list - other DNS servers? I missed that part
    (07:46:58 PM) agamotto: SammySez- yes
    (07:47:02 PM) SammySez: thx
    (07:47:08 PM) ***GoodGuy laughs.. well a small part of my life disappeared for awhile (just kidding)
    (07:47:09 PM) agamotto: it tries to find the 'fastest'
    (07:47:11 PM) tordeu: My computer does not know Cat5:ping RobbieF
    (07:47:13 PM) tordeu: ping: unknown host RobbieF
    (07:47:14 PM) agamotto: for your area
    (07:47:41 PM) chrisreich: I'm now noticing about a half second delay in the video with respect to the audio.
    (07:47:46 PM) Garbee: tordeu, you need " ping www.example.com "
    (07:47:52 PM) agamotto: Ahh, be adventurous... go edit your router/gateway
    (07:48:03 PM) lunatichead: agamotto: I havent used Namebench, BUt that's there in the repos
    (07:48:11 PM) GoodGuy: Many times sites turn off ping replies
    (07:48:55 PM) Dennis_kelley: Rachel looks so bored!
    (07:49:05 PM) lunatichead: Looks Like!!!
    (07:49:06 PM) RachelXu: no just lost
    (07:49:08 PM) lunatichead: ahah
    (07:49:08 PM) RachelXu: so terribly lost
    (07:49:10 PM) agamotto: Yes, I can vouch for the fact that many ATT/Yahoo DNS servers are regularly hosed
    (07:49:10 PM) SammySez: that's pretty cool
    (07:49:16 PM) _Jot_: it's because people are talking about this technology stuff, and RachelXu doesn't understand it
    (07:49:17 PM) Dennis_kelley: Me to!!
    (07:49:30 PM) Garbee: The DNS update can make speed barley noticeable for some, and very much noticeable for others... For me, I saw almost no improvement in speed.
    (07:49:42 PM) Bekah: RachelXu I can see the bewilderment in your face
    (07:49:42 PM) Bekah: lol
    (07:49:43 PM) agamotto: Garbee- nice connection then
    (07:49:47 PM) RachelXu: i would love to improve my speed my computer is so slow
    (07:49:53 PM) RachelXu: but for me to attempt what he just did
    (07:49:54 PM) simon-seez: can you test it in virtual windows
    (07:49:55 PM) RachelXu: i might blow up my computer
    (07:49:57 PM) RachelXu: in the process
    (07:50:05 PM) agamotto: RachelXu- First, delete Windows....
    (07:50:09 PM) GoodGuy: Have to learn in time RachelXu .. no one was born knowing any of it
    (07:50:09 PM) RachelXu: hehe
    (07:50:16 PM) Dennis_kelley: you need to hire Robbie to fix your computer!
    (07:50:21 PM) lunatichead: hehehe DELETE WINDOWS...
    (07:50:23 PM) Bekah: I just had a visual of your computer exploding
    (07:50:23 PM) RachelXu: yes but the linux penguins are sinister
    (07:50:24 PM) GoodGuy: Or Dual Boot agamotto
    (07:50:28 PM) RachelXu: they are out to get me
    (07:50:32 PM) agamotto: RachelXu- Blow it up? No, worst that can happen is that you lose your 'net connection.
    (07:50:32 PM) _Jot_: I bet RobbieF will fix RachelXu's computer for free
    (07:50:57 PM) agamotto: RachelXu- They just want you to eat more fish...
    (07:51:02 PM) lunatichead: that's cool
    (07:51:06 PM) evermind: talking bout dns, paypal is taking for ever to log me in tonight:/
    (07:51:07 PM) Bekah: RachelXu did you know that the Linux penguins are real and that they come to life whenever you leave the room?
    (07:51:19 PM) chrisreich: now THAT woke RachelXu up!
    (07:51:33 PM) SammySez: girl scout cookies
    (07:51:34 PM) GoodGuy: You should see my granddaughter.... she brings over plastic critters to attack me lol.. A huge scorpion got me ten times

    (07:52:12 PM) Bekah: _Jot_ haha
    (07:52:27 PM) chrisreich: when she was little, my daughter once proclaimed "Pickle is my favorite vegetable".
    (07:52:28 PM) darktower59: is the pickle like a Pogo Plug?
    (07:52:29 PM) tordeu: yeah, no pickles in northern germany
    (07:52:34 PM) tordeu: who does that?
    (07:52:36 PM) agamotto: Raffer- Very old custom.... goes back to the 1100's
    (07:52:46 PM) Garbee: RobbieF, When are you going to grow your hair back out? I miss the Mullet.
    (07:52:47 PM) Raffer: ok
    (07:53:00 PM) ajamison5579: Do you guys up north in Canada still have Loons as currency or what ever they are called when i went up there they had coins with ducks on them called Loons or some such
    (07:53:03 PM) Scorpio55: RobbieF who designed the cat5 xmas card
    (07:53:13 PM) RachelXu: yes they are loons on the loonie
    (07:53:14 PM) agamotto: Raffer- Started out as a Bavarian/Tyrolian custom
    (07:53:16 PM) lunatichead: RobbieF: Try Namebench that a native Linux DNS benchmark tool.. Haven't used it though
    (07:53:17 PM) u-al: Rachel looks like a candy cane
    (07:53:19 PM) Garbee: There is a Cat5 xmas card?
    (07:53:24 PM) _Jot_: RobbieF, why did it go dark again so soon?
    (07:53:28 PM) RachelXu: im supposed to be festive
    (07:53:31 PM) GoodGuy: I got an invalid token logging in via Lastpass
    (07:53:32 PM) SammySez: I meant a hoagie
    (07:53:34 PM) RachelXu: but yes candycaneesque
    (07:53:48 PM) Garbee: lunatichead, Robbie has tried it, but GRC's solution blows it out of the water as far as features.
    (07:53:52 PM) Bekah: ajamison557 yes, our dollar coin has a loon on it
    (07:53:57 PM) GoodGuy: A jar of Christmas Pickles might!
    (07:54:01 PM) lunatichead: I AM READY FOR THE POGO>>> Do they get shipped to INDIA?
    (07:54:11 PM) _Jot_: lunatichead, yes, they do
    (07:54:15 PM) GoodGuy: RachelXu, is that your Norwegian voice?
    (07:54:27 PM) SammySez: RobbieF: RachelXu: where do babies come from?
    (07:54:30 PM) RachelXu: thats my im a weirdo voice
    (07:54:30 PM) OldGuyJim: Good night all.

    (07:57:51 PM) _Jot_: SammySez, on the website there was a banner to a link with a click-button that you had to click
    (07:57:55 PM) iamboriskarloff left the room.
    (07:57:57 PM) Garbee: I think he started before Robbie said go.
    (07:58:09 PM) SammySez: _Jot_ can hook them together to make an Open Nebula cloud ;)
    (07:58:13 PM) _Jot_: RobbieF, it's because of Planet Calypso that I am so good at clicking, before they had the automate-actions
    (07:58:14 PM) Dennis_kelley: What _Jot_ does not cheat!!!
    (07:58:15 PM) SammySez: oh ok

    (08:05:14 PM) GoodGuy: I wanted another laughing session... it was fun to see
    (08:05:23 PM) _Jot_: RachelXu, I'm sure you are a star, isn't that enough?
    (08:05:23 PM) SammySez: but my connection is UMTS so it doesn't matter
    (08:05:40 PM) agamotto: One of our local on-air talents is notable almost solely for how her makeup moves independently of her face... now that is 1 star worthy

    (08:13:03 PM) SammySez: thx GoodGuy, so a black one may be the same as the pink one if the black one is not labeled "pro"? I have a pink one that I rarely use because of the poor interface. My just install DSL on it or something

    (08:14:33 PM) RachelXu: That was in Beijing
    (08:14:36 PM) SammySez: hopefully outside

    (08:15:27 PM) GoodGuy: lol
    (08:15:29 PM) _Jot_: RachelXu, are you challenging me to PVP? I do have a SGA edition guide marber, it's one shot and you're dead
    (08:15:48 PM) GoodGuy: We just have a cat.... no large birds
    (08:15:49 PM) darktower59: RobbieF - Ubuntu has 'namebench' for DNS benchmarks
    (08:16:08 PM) RachelXu: i was travelling all around china
    (08:16:15 PM) GoodGuy: What does PVP mean? I saw that a few days ago
    (08:16:20 PM) RobbieF: as I said; namebench is not as good. It (unlike the one I showed) is agnostic toward whether the servers are actually RELIABLE>
    (08:16:20 PM) _Jot_: Player Versus Player
    (08:16:25 PM) RachelXu: been to macau, hong kong hainan shanghai beijing and kunming

    (08:16:40 PM) darktower59: ok - missed that
    (08:16:50 PM) RobbieF: :P
    (08:16:53 PM) _Jot_: PVP in games is were participants compete against each other, instead of against computer-generated monsters etc

    (08:17:09 PM) _Jot_: RachelXu, http://www.entropedia.info/Info.aspx?chart=Weapon&name=SGA_Edition_Guide_Marber
    (08:17:28 PM) _Jot_: make Robbie explain what it means :)
    (08:17:35 PM) RachelXu: an online gun?
    (08:17:40 PM) GoodGuy: I saw your name mentioned on the site in the past, but missed that episode.. I expected you to be Chinese
    (08:18:05 PM) _Jot_: RachelXu, it's a gun that I use on planet calypso sometimes, but not so much because it has a slow reload
    (08:18:07 PM) Garbee: RobbieF, You can stop baking under those massive light-emitters now.
    (08:18:10 PM) GoodGuy: First time I saw you was the time you laughed at cloud lol
    (08:18:23 PM) RachelXu: ah yes the dreaded cloud
    (08:18:27 PM) RachelXu: he tried to trip me up today
    (08:18:46 PM) RachelXu: christa says all co hosts go through it at some point :) hehe
    (08:18:46 PM) Garbee: RachelXu, What is wrong with Robbie? He doesn't look happy.
    (08:18:56 PM) RachelXu: ahh its cause hes trying to fix the sound
    (08:19:00 PM) RachelXu: it got lagging so hes lining it up
    (08:19:03 PM) GoodGuy: I thought it was cute.... seems very friendly and full of life
    (08:19:10 PM) Garbee: Ah, that explains it.
    (08:19:37 PM) Garbee: The audio was all in-sync when live, so it was only on the recording where it got behind then.
    (08:19:52 PM) RachelXu: it was towards the end it started getting messed up
    (08:19:57 PM) RachelXu: but he seems to have fixed it :)
    (08:19:59 PM) RobbieF: yeah it's pretty bad :(
    (08:20:13 PM) _Jot_: RobbieF, RachelXu, sorry for clicking so much that the server is still overloading from handling it
    (08:20:33 PM) RachelXu: if i was on my home computer trying the click race
    (08:20:43 PM) Dennis_kelley: mountl+
    (08:20:44 PM) RachelXu: i would have gotten one click that computer is so slow
    (08:20:45 PM) GoodGuy: My Windows Networking stack is kind of screwed up.... I can access the internet etc

    (08:21:52 PM) GoodGuy: I installed Netsetman ages ago.. wonder if that messed something up at the time

    (08:23:01 PM) RachelXu: robbies playing the santa again
    (08:23:01 PM) RachelXu: egad
    (08:23:09 PM) socket_red: all the lindas belong to us

    (08:23:21 PM) ***GoodGuy needs to reload my Windows install, but I have been hurting too much to bother
    (08:23:36 PM) GoodGuy: Still working
    (08:23:46 PM) RachelXu: reloading windows is such a chore
    (08:23:56 PM) RachelXu: thats what my computer needs
    (08:23:58 PM) GoodGuy: Plus I have multiple Linux installs as well
    (08:24:04 PM) Dennis_kelley: GoodGuy - any Idea what grub-probe: error: Cannot open '/boot/grub/device.map
    (08:24:21 PM) Guest_4771: qqqqq
    (08:24:27 PM) GoodGuy: Did you run sudo update-grub?
    (08:24:45 PM) RobbieF: Plug the thingamajig in the thingamadoodle
    (08:24:57 PM) Dennis_kelley: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
    (08:25:02 PM) ajamison5579: the biggest issue with Windows is that it is easier most times to just wipe it and re-install it then try to fix it
    (08:25:08 PM) ajamison5579: thanks Registry
    (08:25:12 PM) ajamison5579: lol
