«meh» How're you? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:11pm) «meh» Cause... I d'know -- 'cause *shrug*. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:11pm) «Talcott» eh, ok I suppose. I just found out that my thesis is aparently due friday. That doesn't worry me much, but it would have been nice to have some real warning. (or notice. I only know now because I asked specifically when I was due) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:13pm) «Talcott» *scritch* Well, if you find out how you're doing, let me know, ok? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:13pm) «meh» Ack. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:13pm) «meh» Pffft. Yeah, I s'pose I'll do that if it becomes clear. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:13pm) «iPauley» Why "ack?" no one sent a "syn"... (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:14pm) «meh» *blink* Huh? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:14pm) «Talcott» yeah. The program seems to be going to hell :/ (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:14pm) «iPauley» sorry. bad bad bad bad TCP/IP half-joke (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:14pm) «meh» Okies. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:15pm) «Talcott» *blink* um, I know what TCP/IP is... (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:15pm) «iPauley» Talcott got it. I don't think Lacy did. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:15pm) «iPauley» but it's ok. it wasn't all that good a funny anywho. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:16pm) «Talcott» I did? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:16pm) «Talcott» I only know what TCP/IP is. Not the joke (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:16pm) «meh» No, Lacy didn't. But she's smiling indulgently and listening anyway. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:16pm) «Talcott» I'll give someone $20 if they'll write a five page "personal statement" for this thesis. You just have to make it sound like I'm talking about my own work (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:18pm) «lawrence» "I was paid $20 to write this. This proves that Talcott is generous and understands how to delegate..." (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:18pm) «meh» $20 for 5 pages? Only 4 bucks a page? hmph (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:19pm) «Talcott» good. Only say that it's my poems who are generous (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:19pm) «Talcott» well, I don't have much of a budget here. I was going to offer $10. I should have started there and let you argue me up towards $20 (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:19pm) «Talcott» although I could just make my prophet do my work for me (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:20pm) «meh» *mutters* Rebooting. BBiaB (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:20pm) «iPauley» there ya go. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:20pm) «iPauley» okey! *lacyschnugglies* (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:21pm) «Talcott» grr...rebooting bad (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:21pm) «Talcott» well, good if it lets you come back with a stable connection (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:21pm) «Talcott» but bad if you have to reboot to get that (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:21pm) «lawrence» when come back bring pie. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:21pm) «nate...» amen. Gotta love XP (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:22pm) «iPauley» the more I support VAIO's at work with XP, the more I like it. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:22pm) «nate...» yeah, best M$ os ever. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:23pm) «lawrence» well, it is but that's not saying much. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:23pm) «nate...» heh (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:23pm) «Talcott» I need to get XP. BGSU has a deal with MS, real cheep for a real version of it. Only one more month left before I can get it though.. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:24pm) «nate...» well, it's either that or osX, and I'm not rich enough to own a mac. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:24pm) «Talcott» erm, cheap (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:24pm) «Talcott» As I always say. I prefer Macs. They are better systems. It's not at all practical for me to get one (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:24pm) «lawrence» macs may be more expensive but they last a lot longer - apparently mac users average 4-6 years on the same system. pc users keep systems for 2-3 years. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:25pm) «lawrence» so you don't have to spend the money nearly as often. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:25pm) «iPauley» so does it kinda even out that way? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:26pm) «nate...» yes, but when you don't have that much to spend, it's out of the question. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:26pm) «lawrence» I think macs turn out to be the better deal, really. it's not like they're twice as expensive as PCs. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:26pm) «Talcott» yes, but if I don't have the money right away. It's still less for me to fully upgrade my PC than to buy a new Mac (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:26pm) «nate...» lawrence: right, they're about 3 times more expensive. :D (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:27pm) «iPauley» LOL (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:27pm) «Josh Woodward» or 4-5x if you build yourself (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:27pm) «Talcott» The big jar-o-mayo at Sams club is a better value too, but only if you can afford all that at once and can eat it before it goes bad (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:27pm) «nate...» talcott: right, and a mac is a LOT of plastic to eat. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:27pm) «Talcott» (and I think I just turned my own stomach with that example ;) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:28pm) «lawrence» hah. not even. a high end PC is not that much less expensive than a high end mac. plus, with apple you don't have to worry about hardware incompatibility, etc. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:28pm) «Paul D. Beasi» here we go, the useless debate again :) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:28pm) «Josh Woodward» lawrence: didn't we just have this debate a few months ago? :) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:29pm) «meh» Insert Identity begins to question if returning to the wall was my best post-reboot choice... ;-) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:29pm) «nate...» exactly. lawrence: it's fine if you want to spend a shitload of money for a good pc... I envy you! I'd love to... but I have better things to spend my money on. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:29pm) «Talcott» Right. Mac=Soda, PC=Pop. Two birds-->One stone (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:29pm) «nate...» so till I'm rich, I'll buy pcs for about 1/4 the price (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:29pm) «lawrence» nate - but the point is for a similar machine, you don't spend that much more. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:29pm) «Josh Woodward» i didn't know soda cost multiple times what pop does, and looks great but tastes bitter. ;-) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:29pm) «nate...» I disagree, lawrence. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «Talcott» Hey Lacy: Any word on Marster's CD? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «nate...» you spec me a mac and the parts to upgrade my current machine.... put them side by side. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «nate...» it'll be half or less. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «lawrence» ahhh, you didn't say upgrading, though. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «Talcott» Talcott - the real one waves over the Mac/PC stuff (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «lawrence» you were talking about new machines. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «lawrence» of course upgrading is less expensive than a new machine. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «Josh Woodward» nate: that's what i did a few months ago, and it was under half for more machine. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «nate...» no, I'm talking about ME getting a new PC or getting a new mac. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:30pm) «meh» Talcott -- No, I've still got to e-mail back about shipping costs. (Unless they've redone the online store to be actually useable.) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:31pm) «lawrence» and if you buy new, you can get similar machines for about the same price. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:31pm) «nate...» sure, but when you have a PC, you don't BUY all new. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:31pm) «nate...» with a mac, you have to. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:31pm) «lawrence» and with that PC where you create a frankenstein machine, you end up with tons of driver issues, compatibility problems, and so on. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:31pm) «Josh Woodward» found the last debate :) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:32pm) «iPauley» my new computer was cheaper than it could have been 'cause I didn't buy a monitor. that was a big part of it. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:32pm) «nate...» josh: same here... it was literally about 1/3. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:32pm) «nate...» lawrence: sure, if you run 98. :D (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:32pm) «Talcott» Didja listen to that CD yet? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:32pm) «Talcott» (erm, the other one I lent you, not Spikes of course ;) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:32pm) «meh» Talcott: I'm inclined to ask which one you mean. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:32pm) «nate...» I slapped this box together.... no config... nothing... it ran "out of the box" so to speak... (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:32pm) «meh» Which ot--oh, that one. No, not yet. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:33pm) «meh» 's Down in my car, I'll probably give it a listen next time I go driving. Which I'm strangely half tempted to do yet tonight. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:33pm) «nate...» hell, XP even pulled drivers for an ancient parallel port scanner I had at the time. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:33pm) «Talcott» did the reseting not take effect then? (not that it's too late to drive "normaly") That'd be good driving music though (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:34pm) «nate...» ahh well: lawrence, if you come back, start a forum. I'll post numbers. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:34pm) «lawrence» meaningless numbers? ok. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:34pm) «nate...» nate-talcott's1stprophet takes it "off-wall" (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:34pm) «nate...» lawrence: no, exact, side by side pricing. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:35pm) «meh» Talcott: Huh? Resetting -- if you mean the compy, it's running fine. I'm just... er... yeah, I might go driving tonight. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:35pm) «lawrence» how do you compare the machines? (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:35pm) «lawrence» 1GHz worth of PC definitely does not equal 1GHz of Mac. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:35pm) «nate...» as I said. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:35pm) «nate...» forum. (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:35pm) «nate...» others aren't interested. :) (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:35pm) «Talcott» Lacy: I meant schedule-reset. Returning to the land of the solar-folks (Mar 31, 2003 @ 10:36pm) « Previous 100 entries | Next 100 entries »
