[21:01] <drach> does it have anything to do with the essence of fire?
[21:01] <ThDoctor> Isn't that his phone number?
[21:01] <drach> I figured that would've been 867 5309
[21:01] Nick change: Phlogiston2323121 -> Phlogiston
[21:02] <drach> i didn't mean for you to change it
[21:02] <drach> I was just curious
[21:02] <drach> you seem to be consistent with the name
[21:02] <drach> and it's intriguingness is like an anchor

[21:04] <Phlogiston23121212> just took the last 4 digits of a number and added 1212 to it not be so easily figured out
[21:05] <drach> so it IS supposed to drive me crazy
[21:05] <drach> _well_, that's different
[21:05] <ThDoctor> At least it's a short drive :!

[21:07] <drach> haha
[21:07] <drach> so what have they done with phliktid?
[21:08] <ThDoctor> I've got 6 working computers in this room alone.
[21:08] <drach> I've got 5 in this room
[21:08] <Phlogiston23121212> Just saw this term: In political jargon, the term "useful  idiot" was used to describe Soviet sympathizers in western countries and the  alleged attitude of the Soviet government towards them. The implication  was that though the person in question naïvely thought themselves an ally of the  Soviets or other Communists, they were actually held in contempt by  them, and being cynically used.
[21:08] <ThDoctor> All different OS's.

[21:14] <OldMike> A recurring senior moment drach
[21:14] <TomTom> LOL@ Jay.  
[21:14] <drach> oi, don't make me feel that old yet, I know I'm young, and I still have those...
[21:14] <bcanon> Apparently Alzheimers and IRC run hand in hand
[21:15] <TomTom> Like death and taxes, bcanon, I'm afraid....
[21:15] <OldMike> Too much floride growing up got me
[21:15] <drach> @TomTom, and according to my shirt yesterday, gas prices too...
[21:15] <bcanon> True TomTom
[21:16] <drach> sending my book back to me?  sounds too much like http://www.urlesque.com/2008/11/07/broke-man-tries-paying-bill-with-a-picture-of-a-spider/
[21:16] <ThDoctor> It's copyright infrigement if two people listen at the same time. So what he just sent over the air...
[21:17] <drach> I thought that was if it were for a public performance for profit
[21:17] <ThDoctor> That's right, these guys work for free.
[21:18] <OldMike> What about audio books ?
[21:18] <ThDoctor> You can't issue electronic textbooks, the teachers wouldn't be able to sell their own books every year.
[21:18] <TomTom> So 20th century, OldMike.... <grin>
[21:18] <ThDoctor> they have a thing called an Mp3 player for that.
[21:19] <ThDoctor> Will Kindle read a Face BooK/
[21:19] <OldMike> I talked to a gal who is going to college here in Tex-Ass and some of her text books are 200 bucks.  What a rip.
[21:19] <drach> can't find a pic of what I was looking for, oh well...

[21:21] <TomTom> Welcome Mark!  Yivit!  Welcome!
[21:21] <Yivit> howdy
[21:21] <OldMike> The voices on my GPS sound pretty good
[21:21] <ThDoctor> Yivit is Tiviy spelled backwards.
[21:22] <TomTom> Sometimes I call the time and temperature lady over and over.... Oh!  Did I say that out loud?  
[21:22] <drach> so I don't think it's phliktid since there's no IRC nick
[21:22] <OldMike> Academic what ?
[21:22] <drach> Hola yivit
[21:23] <drach> anyone been playing with IE8?
[21:23] <drach> I'm liking what I've seen (all of about two minutes of surfing with it today)
[21:24] <OldMike> I almost got hired at Victoria College as both a tutor and instructor for math and adult education but there was no money.  11 bucks and hour, maybe 19 hours a week.  Where is all that tuition money going ?
[21:24] <ThDoctor> Look at the teachers retirement.
[21:24] <TomTom> No not yet, drach.  I'm usually conservative when it comes to loading the browser betas, especially in Windows since the hooks run so deep.
[21:25] <MarkMatsusaki> I have ie8 installed.  and like it
[21:25] <OldMike> Those who can do, those who can't teach.
[21:25] <MarkMatsusaki> great web developer tools - much like firebug for FF3.
[21:25] <TomTom> Keep trying, OldMike.  I suspect money will become available as more and more people go back to school.
[21:25] <OldMike> I gave up on Victoria College.
[21:26] <MarkMatsusaki> there is this cool compatability mode - which if a site isn't renedering well in 8, you kinda revert to 7-ish
[21:26] <drach> ya know OldMike, I was talking to a prof yesterday, and it seems as though there is a large percentage of the school outgo is actually support staff.  At our school, with 350 faculty, there are well over 500 "regular" employees (meaning not students or faculty)
[21:26] <ThDoctor> I have to be careful. I'm an adjunct clinical professor up here in two different colleges. What that means is I don't get paid.
[21:26] <drach> I wouldn't have thought that was the case, maybe about 50-50

[21:27] <Glimmung> Hallo hallo!
[21:27] <OldMike> The classic way to get hired at a college is to attend, go through some graduate program, get a Teaching Assistant job, then suck up and get a perm,anent job.
[21:27] <drach> And what's that crack about those who can and can't?  I'm thinking of teaching one day, but that's because I know the basics well enough, and the advanced stuff often enough, and I am good at 'splaining things ;-)
[21:28] <Glimmung> Those who can't shouldn't teach.
[21:28] <ThDoctor> The problem is that you have to publish.
[21:28] <OldMike> Teachers have become just another variety of government workers.
[21:28] <ThDoctor> If you want tenure.
[21:28] <drach> I'ld publish, but what's not been written about?
[21:28] <drach> btw, hola glimmung
[21:28] <TomTom> That is usually the retort of someone can't do either, drach.

[21:30] <TomTom> I loved Max Headroom
[21:30] <OldMike> Was looking up IP spoofing
[21:30] <drach> what would I do with a low voltage dedicated streaming headless linux server in every room?  I can think of lots of things
[21:30] <Glimmung> The Max Headroom series was great.
[21:30] <TomTom> Phrack?  Sorry OldMike.  Please 'splain!

[21:49] <ThDoctor> Helix is a live Linux CD with forenics software. It will find anything.
[21:50] <drach> we could probably do something fun with that, but I'm too lazy tonight for a quick edit
[21:50] <OldMike> Helix went non-free Doc
[21:50] <OldMike> Shoulda got it before they changed
[21:50] <TomTom> I bet ThDoctor has it, OldMike.
[21:51] <DavidHerrold> Caption: THIS IS SPARTA!
[21:51] <ThDoctor> I have a two year old one.
[21:51] <drach> at least the caller sounds like he knows something about compys
[21:51] <TomTom> Likely unplugged the cable.....
[21:51] <TomTom> It's the poltergeist....
[21:52] <TomTom> Sound from the CD drive?  Sound from the speakers?  
[21:52] <MarkMatsusaki> new card, new OS,
[21:52] <MarkMatsusaki> Speakers ! 
[21:52] <MarkMatsusaki> try headphones
[21:52] <ThDoctor> Show him where the mute switch is.
[21:52] <MarkMatsusaki> is there integrated sound on the MB ? 
[21:53] <MarkMatsusaki> check the bios - 
[21:53] <MarkMatsusaki> see if sound is enabled there
[21:53] <TomTom> Hardware manager
[21:53] <Glimmung> Check the door... someone might be knocking on it
[21:53] <MarkMatsusaki> are they the right drivers ? 
[21:53] <MarkMatsusaki> for the expansion card or for MB sound ? 
[21:53] <TomTom> And turned off the onboard sound?  
[21:54] <OldMike> Which Linux did the caller try ?
[21:54] <ThDoctor> It used to work before he added the ram.
[21:54] <DavidHerrold> @JayLee http://skitch.com/davidherrold/bgnjd/jay
[21:54] <Glimmung> change the ram back and see if it works
[21:54] NickDanger (DrWiggs@11A3DDE4.61905650.1C72A997.IP) joined #techbytes.
[21:54] <ThDoctor> Maybe he pushed too hard putting the ram in and damaged the MB.
[21:54] <NickDanger> COD
[21:55] <Glimmung> he rammed the ram in

[21:55] <Glimmung> Where's Rocky Rococo?
[21:56] <TomTom> Case should be at ground already.
[21:56] <TomTom> He's in the White Album, Glimmung.  
[21:56] <MarkMatsusaki> different speakers ?
[21:56] <OldMike> Rocky Racoon
[21:56] <Glimmung> hahah noooo... not Rocky Racoon... Rocky Rococo from the Nick Danger series
[21:56] <NickDanger> He's having a beer with Ralph Spoilsport
[21:57] <Glimmung> EXCELLENT NICK!!!
[21:57] <drach> why wouldn't a person start off with those details?
[21:57] <NickDanger> Knocking noise that I hear sometimes is hard drive failure
[21:57] <Spacey> Shoot, I don't even unplug it from the wall
[21:57] <Spacey> stick RAm in and press reset :)
[21:57] <Glimmung> I rubbed the ram on the shag carpet to clean it
[21:58] <OldMike> Switch power connectors
[21:58] <Glimmung> try a usb sound card

[21:58] <Glimmung> my old extigy rules
[21:59] <NickDanger> a "knock"....
[21:59] <TomTom> Oh, of course, Glimmung.  My mistake.  He's actually pondering the question "How Can You Be in 2 Places At Once, When You Are No Where At All" while on the bus with all the other Bozos.....
[21:59] <drach> :( I can't click the link
[21:59] <Glimmung> When I started converting LPs to digital, I started with Firesign..
[22:00] <NickDanger> Almost no Cds use analog cable any more. Havent for years.
[22:00] <OldMike> Tell me 'bout Firesign 
[22:00] <Glimmung> THAT WAS ME!!!!
[22:00] <TomTom> Thank you for making my night, Glimmung.  I haven't thought of them in months.  
[22:00] <Glimmung> hehehehehe
[22:00] <Glimmung> There is a great Firesign documentary
[22:00] <TomTom> That was you on the radio, Glimmung?
[22:01] <Glimmung> nooo.. I offered up the usb sound card 
[22:01] <Phlogiston23121212> Jay vs. the midlife crisis??
[22:02] <OldMike> Do you remember everyone you've slept with ?
[22:02] <Glimmung> anyway, the Firesign documentary is "Weirdly Cool"
[22:02] <NickDanger> Tell the guy to record the "knock" and play it back on the phone or post on website.
[22:02] <JayLee> midlife crisis is winning
[22:02] <TomTom> Ah!  Sorry, I was lost in my memories of Nick Danger and Rocky Rocco.  "Roll us a bomber, Jeeves, and leave it on the table" for Betty Bialusky and Nick....
[22:02] <Glimmung> It would be impossible for me to remember
[22:03] <NickDanger> Jay has little testes?
[22:04] <MojoHand> The contrast button is stuck
[22:04] <NickDanger> Sell it on eBay. Quick.
[22:05] <TomTom> Jay presupposes that mellow man has friends...... <grin>
[22:05] <drach> just depends on the model of the laptop
[22:05] <Glimmung> I have a dedicated video card in my ASUS laptop
[22:05] <drach> not all are able to be done like that
[22:05] <drach> I can't do that in mine, and it's fairly new
[22:05] <drach> 900z, is a little old
[22:06] <drach> brb
[22:06] <TomTom> Trying to find the video card for one that old..... good luck!

[22:10] <OldMike> Wish I had a mortgage, you guys could help me pay for it
[22:10] <TomTom> I remember hearing that in high school, Nick.  And being bored to tears!
[22:11] <NickDanger> Glimmung-that might be the one I had
[22:11] <Glimmung> You should google joyce's letters to his wife.. hot stuff

[22:13] <DavidHerrold> @oldmike it's a content management system like Drupal, Wordpress, etc
[22:14] <OldMike> Haven't got there yet D
[22:14] <Glimmung> geeksanddorks runs on joomla, the oni-con site runs on drupal
[22:14] <NickDanger> When I was learning my Computer Science all the teachers were they guys that didn't have enough ability to get a real job.
[22:14] <Glimmung> ugh drupal

[22:16] <TomTom> And aren't other people's heads a trip, kd5?  <grin>
[22:16] <DavidHerrold> Joomla is a pretty user friendly CMS, but not quite as flexible or robust ad Drupal

[22:36] <bcanon> I've got to shop for an AV site license this week... Anyone work with rolling out AV builds in masse that can say who has the best deployment tools?
[22:36] <NickDanger> Dell has some nice hard drive diagnostics built in
[22:36] <bcanon> I would guess the port of Houston (one of the largest in the US) and all of our refineries to the East
[22:36] <TomTom> Actually, I think you don't need an atom bomb.  Just hit some of the refinery tanks in Deer Park.....
[22:37] <Glimmung> ExxonMobil Baytown is one of the major US targets
[22:37] <OldMike> Propane tank farms are a good hit
[22:37] <TomTom> New batteries, caller?
[22:37] <bcanon> Somebody warn Hank Hill
[22:38] <TomTom> Dont worry Glimmung.  BP is already trying to blow up their refinery....
[22:38] <Spacey> She needs to define "turning off" the monitor
[22:38] <Spacey> Actually powering off, or just going into sleep mode from no video signal
[22:39] <drach> powering off with the switch
[22:39] <Glimmung> That's the truth TomTom
[22:39] <NickDanger> JayLee-wireless kb mouse are PITA
[22:40] <TomTom> Sometimes the USB gets shut off by the system when it's idle.    Check that, caller.
[22:40] <OldMike> Bad drive by hack of the wireless keyboard
[22:40] <drach> tell caller to go buy a mac ;)
[22:40] <OldMike> Ya loaning money for Mac's drach
[22:41] <TomTom> JayLee:  tell her to make sure USB isn't being shut down or going into sleep mode to save power.
[22:41] <TomTom> bcanon: I'm loving my Apple Mighty Mouse and a wireless keyboard.
[22:42] <TomTom> May have to do that in the Hardware Manager, JayLee.
[22:42] <kd5> i got tired of putting batteries in my wireless keyboards and mice
[22:43] <NickDanger> Wired kb and mouse is $12 on Wal Mart rental plan
[22:43] <drach> I'm accepting gubmint chz for my mac ;)  watch how long I can hold my hand out still (bet it's less time than it takes for your worm to get loose)
[22:43] <bcanon>  I guess I should have qualified that with *windows* wireless mice & keyboards.  No complaints about my bluetooth mouse other than its a little on the small size.
[22:43] <OldMike> The worm is persistent
[22:43] <Spacey> heh, listening to these callers makes me know why I don't do this kind of support.  I would have totally told that caller that she was probably just confused and her monitor is broken without any relation to the keyboard.  :)
[22:43] <OldMike> Not tonight tho
[22:43] <Spacey> I have no mercy.
[22:43] <MarkMatsusaki> Caller - sounds like Elvis.    Thankh Youh
