[17:46]<ugrznrvyvn>ok... where can i get a gig of ram for my macbook pro - where they won't be ripping me off but it won't come in dead (ie not ebay)
[17:47]<sxzzcxzv_>many people say just get any ol ram from newegg
[17:47]<sxzzcxzv_>i say go to crucials site, they have a 'choose your mac' calculator and shows which memeory to buy, it is about 15% more expensive, but it has always worked for me
[17:47]<zyzxzzmp>whoa
[17:48]<zyzxzzmp>just been reading bash.org
[17:48]<zyzxzzmp>switched back to this window
[17:48]<zyzxzzmp>and spend a couple seconds wondering what was funny about sharkhat_s comment
[17:49]<ugrznrvyvn>heh
[17:49]<ugrznrvyvn>i love that site
[17:49]<ugrznrvyvn>if i get it from there (and not the apple store) - can i still get apple to install it or do i do it myself?
[17:49]<ugrznrvyvn>and if i do it myself - do i void the warranty?
[17:50]<ugrznrvyvn>cuz i already got applecare... so if it voids that i'll probably just get it from apple
[17:50]<sxzzcxzv_>lol
[17:50]<sxzzcxzv_>uncreative: no warenty voidy
[17:50]<zyzxzzmp>uncreative: apple stores will fit it for you
[17:50]<sxzzcxzv_>they put the little door on there for you, but like RichardP said
[17:51]<sxzzcxzv_>if you buy it, and bring the whole thing in,
[17:51]<sxzzcxzv_>they put it in for you
[17:51]<sxzzcxzv_>but if you put it in, it doesnt void your warenty (as far as i know)
[17:51]<ugrznrvyvn>ok cool thanks!
[17:51]<sxzzcxzv_>BTW has anyone told apple that smb on intel macs makes it use 1/2 the processor just on idle?
[17:52]<sxzzcxzv_>or how do i complain
[17:53]<vrfcgg>anyone know how I can change the "/Users" prefix for all users I will create ?
[17:53]<ugrznrvyvn>parallels strips my mac of all ram :-(
[17:53]<vrfcgg>then, allow less
[17:53]<ugrznrvyvn>how do i do that?
[17:54]<vrfcgg>I mean, allow less ram to your virtual pc
[17:54]<vrfcgg>of course
[17:54]<vrfcgg>in the pc settings.
[17:54]<zyzxzzmp>Valken: change the /users prefix?
[17:54]<ugrznrvyvn>Valken: heh i think that helped
[17:55]<vrfcgg>RichardP, I have a user database (used for years here) and home drive are set to /home/xxx
[17:55]<drvnd>is there any way to set my monitor to a custom resolution?
[17:55]<vrfcgg>yes
[17:55]<zyzxzzmp>Valken: your presumptions were broken when you implemented that database then
[17:56]<drvnd>I want to go to 1440xwhatever on my secondary monitor (above my Laptop) so that the corners meet
[17:56]<vrfcgg>I was not
[17:56]<vrfcgg>but never mind
[17:56]<vrfcgg>on the second hand, do you know how I can allow nis user to log in to samba on a tiger client ?
[17:56]<ugrznrvyvn>Valken: what if you make a symlink from home /users?
[17:57]<vrfcgg>it is not followed
[17:57]<ugrznrvyvn>:-(
[17:57]<vrfcgg>but, on today's day, it's not important, at all
[17:57]<vrfcgg>I'm just experimenting how to integrate a client into a nis and where is the limitations.
[17:58]<vrfcgg>or where is the ease of use.
[17:58]<vrfcgg>:D
[17:58]<vrfcgg>ah you meant symlink.
[17:58]<vrfcgg>sorry
[17:58]<vrfcgg>symlink is a good idea
[17:58]<vrfcgg>but then, the finder can't follow it :(
[18:18]<zzyj>top of the mornin'.
[18:19]<gudedj>yop
[18:19]<ggrfrvgm>It's so hard to get iscroll2 set with some decent settings

[18:21]<gudedj>wonknu - well I should have been in exams you're right
[18:21]<gudedj>but I didn't go today
[18:22]<gudedj>anyway, now my fate is clear : I will double my license
