[00:09]<zjzdr>darn, if AthenaIRC would just support emacs key bindings it wouldn't be too bad.
[00:10]<hytnc>oh ok
[00:11]<mrrygmrg>hmm waiting on linux to do stuff
[00:11]<rrvvd_>:wq!
[00:12]<mrrygmrg>kde seems to be very beautiful hehe
[00:18]<rzrrcygvjsx>MacinMan: is there a turn key version of kde available for mac yet? last time I tried was on fink back in 2003, it didnt work out too well...
[00:19]<mrrygmrg>well on tiger you get kde 3.5.2 in the unstable of fink
[00:19]<mrrygmrg>it works well
[00:19]<mrrygmrg>but needs x11
[00:19]<_xl_>can you run aqua apps?
[00:19]<mrrygmrg>there is a native qt for qua
[00:19]<mrrygmrg>not sure how many apps have ports
[00:19]<rzrrcygvjsx>does apple still distribute x11?
[00:19]<_xl_>yes
[00:20]<rzrrcygvjsx>was it ever distributed in developers tools?
[00:20]<zjzw>crackintosh: No, with the Installation media.
[00:23]<saxddvd>ok i installed windows
[00:23]<saxddvd>and now if i restart it
[00:23]<saxddvd>it goes into windows by default
[00:23]<rzrrcygvjsx>well i dont have any X apps anyways so I guess I wont bother.
[00:23]<saxddvd>and not os X
[00:23]<zjzw>schmity: Look at Startup Disk prefpane.
[00:24]<saxddvd>ok
[00:24]<saxddvd>will do
[00:24]<zjzw>I think bootcamp even installs a copy of Startup Disk on the Windows side as well.
[00:24]<mrrygmrg>does appole now package a copy of xp with macs? or is getting a copy of xp up to you?
[00:24]<_xl_>MacinMan: you have to get a copy
[00:25]<saxddvd>its up to you
[00:25]<mrrygmrg>ok
[00:25]<mrrygmrg>i have a copy already i used to use on my pc
[00:25]<saxddvd>but if your mom is a prof. at a university
[00:25]<zjzw>NT 5.1 SP2 I think.
[00:25]<mrrygmrg>just wondered
[00:25]<saxddvd>then you can get it for free
[00:25]<mrrygmrg>nah i got rid of windows and went linux
[00:25]<mrrygmrg>on the pc
[00:26]<ljzrw1>Have any of you tried parallels desktop? http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/
[00:26]<zyzxzzmp>Lorax3: yes
[00:27]<zyzxzzmp>Linux finally gets Google Earth :)
[00:28]<wrw>thats what dig says
[00:33]<mrrygmrg>i'm using the Xine media player
[00:33]<mrrygmrg>looks like a nice app
[00:33]<mrrygmrg>it's good for DVDs too
[00:33]<mrrygmrg>not sure if osx has a full port of xine or not
[00:35]<rrvvd_>hmm google added geocoding to their maps api, but it doesn't work
[00:35]<nwp>MacinMan: try niceplayer for dvds and qt
[00:36]<nwp>i think it also does divx etc. if you have the plugins
[00:38]<mrrygmrg>on os x i just use apple's player
[00:39]<mrrygmrg>it's a nice player for dvds
[00:41]<sxzzcxzv>Lorax3: yep using parallels now with win xp
[00:42]<_xl_>photoshop is annoying me a bit
[00:42]<_xl_>the colors it's pumping out aren't quite the same as in the window
[00:43]<_xl_>the proof/profiles are all good too
[00:43]<mycn>im pretty sure comcast upgraded my internet speeds by a lot ... i downloaded google earth at 1.1 MB/sec
[00:44]<ljzrw1>sharkhat: How is performance? I have read that boot camp runs a little smoother
[00:44]<saxddvd>how do you get that bar open at the bottom of safari that says what the links are and stuff
[00:44]<sxzzcxzv>Lorax3: bootcamp and parallels are two different uses
[00:44]<sxzzcxzv>bootcamp is booting into windows... directly, no os x
[00:44]<saxddvd>nvm
[00:45]<sxzzcxzv>and parallels allows you to run window in a little window
[00:45]<sxzzcxzv>windows*,
[00:45]<vrfcgg>I use parralel every days
[00:45]<sxzzcxzv>so they have completely different uses,
[00:45]<vrfcgg>just make my life very nice :P
[00:45]<vrfcgg>at work :P
[00:45]<sxzzcxzv>the apple supplied drivers disk only works on bootcamp, but the parallels tools makes windows in parallels work really well
[00:46]<vrfcgg>I need to use a windows only helpdesk tool and thus parralel is the best companion
[00:46]<sxzzcxzv>Valken: yea, i use it for webdev
[00:51]<vrfcgg>grrrr, still not asble to join apple alliance :(
[00:52]<zyzxzzmp>http://sketchup.google.com/products.html
[00:53]<vrfcgg>anyone here using ard 3 ?
[00:54]<dzzydns>yes
[00:54]<vrfcgg>how is the software install function. can we consider it as a deployment tool ?
[00:55]<dzzydns>yes it's a deployment tool
[00:55]<dzzydns>you can install pkgs onto other systems remotely
[00:55]<vrfcgg>I actualy use ard2
[00:55]<ndns>anyone here have a security lock for their *book?
