18:09.48loidhi!
18:09.58prpplaguehowdy
18:10.19loidsomebody knows an floppy based distribution thats run X and rdesktop?
18:11.03prpplagueloid: there are a couple, as well as supposedly commercial dist that is in violation of GPL
18:11.35prpplagueloid: just do a quick search on freshmeat for rdesktop
18:11.50loidk
18:12.19loidthx
18:12.21prpplagueloid: np
18:12.31prpplagueloid: might want to look into using ltsp as well
18:12.44prpplagueloid: http://www.ltsp.org
18:13.12prpplagueloid: you can use rdesktop with that very easily
18:14.09prpplagueloid: going to be using it in on a lot of homogenis computers?
18:22.21loidhm
18:22.42loidmy idea is use only one floppy to access de MS Terminal Services
18:22.49loidin 120 machines
18:27.57loidi dont found nothing in freshmeat

20:08.23filehey prpplague
20:09.00prpplaguehowdy
20:09.09filewaddup dude?
20:09.14prpplaguessdd
20:09.18prpplagueat work
20:09.23filework is always fun
20:09.28prpplagueuh no
20:09.35filethat was sarcastic
20:09.38prpplaguenot in the last year it hasnt been
20:09.44prpplaguefile: it used to be
20:10.12prpplaguetill they shut down the r&d dept
20:10.19filewth did they do that anyway
20:10.44filemanagement.
20:10.44prpplagueseveral reasons
20:10.58prpplague1. we stopped developing any of our own products
20:11.08prpplague2. they are moving to winblows
20:11.28prpplague3. they are getting rid of thin clients
20:11.39prpplague4. out sourcing heavy hardware dev
20:12.24prpplaguefile: basically they got all the products they wanted out of the r&d and didn't want anymore
20:12.43filebastards
20:12.47filelet's go on a killing spree
20:12.49prpplaguefile: they figure if they need bug fixes or some minor modifications they can contract out for them
20:13.06prpplaguefile: but since they have the core complete, no need to keep anyone
20:14.32prpplaguefile: all the major hardware vendors (i.e. doitbest, truevalue, orgill) have signed exclusive contracts with m$ to make their web sites and electronic purchasing m$ only
20:15.29prpplaguefile: so all the small vendor are following
20:16.07prpplaguefile: by this time next year, you wont be able to go through a single hardware vendor without a winblows pc
20:16.29fileprpplague: dear me
20:18.34prpplaguecompanies like american standard, andersen windows, and glidden have all of their product information in winblows only applications
20:18.48prpplaguefile: even running them in VMware is difficult
20:19.37prpplaguefile: they have all these little checks that it runs at startup to see if its a "properly installed version of windows"
20:19.46fileO.o
20:20.08prpplaguefile: just a nice way of saying they want to make sure your not running it under another os or under an vm
20:21.05prpplaguefile: m$ has also been targeting wedding/baby shower registery systems
20:21.36prpplaguefile: basically writting into the vendor apps where it won't interface with non winblows registery programs
20:22.47prpplaguefile: its been a bad year in the retail sector IMHO for linux, m$ has gotten a real strangle hold on some of these niche markets
20:34.14chouimathi prpplague
20:34.20prpplaguechouimat: lo
20:35.12chouimatprpplague: will probably have a nice xmas this year ... enough money to be ok 2 or 3 months
20:35.42prpplaguechouimat: congrads
20:37.29chouimatprpplague: yup but I need a better job and a new GF
20:39.27jnorkI need any job and any GF
20:39.44jnork... well, maybe not just any
20:41.57jnorkI'd like the GF to have a big butt.
20:43.01filejnork: you like big butts and you can not lie?

20:43.55jnorkSomething like that.
20:44.50jnorkhttp://www.missthickness.com <== NOT work safe
20:45.37chouimatjnork: and also when your roommate's 6 years old daughter is near
20:46.38jnork*nod* So take the warning as a general statement.
20:47.25jnorkhttp://www.buttbytr.com is also not work safe, and probably not 6yo roommate's daughter safe either.
20:48.25chouimatjnork: I prefer www.lesbians4free.com ;)
20:48.30jnorkheh
20:48.46chouimatjnork: and it's not worksafe too
20:48.54jnork*nod* I'd figured.
20:49.22jnorkOf course, I do have two daughters here. Of my own, it happens.
20:49.42chouimatjnork: the day after thanksgiving ... you lazy americans ;-P
20:49.45jnorkThat's OK, one is watching TV and the other is playing on her computer.
20:49.56jnorkchouimat, did I mention that I didn't have a job?
20:50.05jnorkMy wife is working at hers, tho.
20:50.33jnorkAnd she worked yesterday too.
20:51.08chouimatjnork: I was joking too ;)
