[00:08]<-- dvxn|syzzzyus xzs>http://www.bagdadsoftware.de")
[00:26]<zudl>my HK a/v receiver is shutting down into sleep mode when a movie does a big boom, but only with digital audio, stereo it handles it fine
[00:26]<zudl>i have a ton plugged into the strips into this one outlet, would a UPC fix this?
[00:34]<zyzxzzmp>rump: unlikely, you can only get so much load from one outlet
[00:34]<zudl>i wonder if its a spike related
[00:35]<zudl>or if my receiver is going bad
[00:35]<zudl>or overheating or something
[00:35]<rgmygyus>moooOOOOooooo
[00:35]<rgmygyus>mooooOOOoooOOoooooo
[00:35]<wjgcgu>maw
[00:35]<zyzxzzmp>aedinius: what the hell are you doing?
[00:35]<wjgcgu>he's mooing
[00:35]<rgmygyus>RichardP: Watching a movie.
[00:35]<rgmygyus>I'm mimicking my MacBook, actually
[00:35]<zyzxzzmp>can you do it without typing it out?
[00:36]<zyzxzzmp>or cutting/copying and pasting
[00:36]<rgmygyus>If you want. =(
[00:43]<zudl>okay i got it working, i think i had a wire crossed
[00:43]<zudl>but now if i turn off a light in my house, or turn it on, my receiver like resets and the audio doesnt work until i cut it off and back on
[00:43]<zudl>is that a spike
[00:43]<zudl>but only does that if digital adio
[00:44]<2fjgmyn>you shouldn't have so much plugged into one socket
[00:44]<zllzggvyag>anyone play games on there mac?
[00:45]<zznza>how can I bring back the USB port that was shut down by mac os x, because of the power consumption on that port ?
[00:45]<zznza>it doesn't go back unless I reboot the system, which isn't the most elegant solution
[00:45]<rgmygyus>apprentice: me
[00:46]<zllzggvyag>what games you play
[00:46]<rgmygyus>apprentice: battlefield and call of duty
[00:46]<rgmygyus>bzflag a lot though.
[00:46]<zllzggvyag>do you know where i can find small games like mario type clones and such
[00:47]<rgmygyus>Lots of fun, usually open/free games at happypenguin.org
[00:49]<zllzggvyag>there linux tho
[00:49]<cxjusucn>Games reminds me.
[00:49]<cxjusucn>I must get Frozen buble.
[00:54]<zjzw>gregj: might have to plug it in
[00:55]<zznza>rorx: it doesn't work anymore !
[00:55]<zjzw>gregj: plugin the A/C adapter I mean.
[00:55]<zznza>into apple keyboard ?
[00:55]<cxjusucn>hm
[00:56]<cxjusucn>I hate typos I don't notice.
[00:56]<zznza>rorx: it looks like that:
[00:56]<zjzw>gregj: no the notebook, if it's not all ready.
[00:56]<zznza>rorx: I am pluggin in something that draws too much power, port is shut down, fair enough (it is mini with apple keybard, and I am using hub that's already in it)
[00:57]<zznza>rorx: but than, 3 days later I am trying to connect something to that port , let's say - a mouse, and port is still off
[00:57]<zznza>rorx: I know it is turned on/off by software, because os reboot "helps"
[00:57]<zznza>rorx: and I am looking for more softish solution
[00:57]<zjzw>gregj: oh it's a Mac mini?
[00:58]<zznza>yup
[00:58]<zjzw>odd that it would do that, being a desktop.
[00:58]<zjzw>i don't know then, have you looked in Energy Saver?
[00:58]<zjzw>the prefpane
[00:58]<zznza>nope
[00:58]<zjzw>I know some notebooks turn off peripherals when they're on the battery.
[00:58]<zznza>if I put USB in search on prefpannel, I don't get anything
[00:59]<zznza>rorx: it turns off the port because it draws too much current, which is fair
[00:59]<zznza>rorx: but than, it should bring it back on when I unplug the device
[00:59]<zjzw>gregj: how do you know it's doing that?
[00:59]<zznza>I get nice message box that is telling me that
[00:59]<zjzw>oh I see only when something is plugged in.
[01:00]<zznza>plus, I know USB standard very well, and know of its capabilities and limitations
[01:00]<zjzw>I've gotten those before.
[01:00]<zjzw>but it was something about me plugging in something that required a powered usb port and I was plugging it into a port that wasn't powered.
[01:01]<zjzw>in my case, a keyboard, which made sense, since it it's not powered.
[01:01]<zznza>sure
[01:01]<zznza>but it turns off the port forever, which is really baad
[01:02]<zjzw>so I guess the error I got was different than yours..
[01:02]<zznza>I know for some "idiot" user it is good, because he/she is not able to fsck up anything, but I would love to see some "advanced" feature
[01:02]<zjzw>sounds like you're plugging in a device that uses too much power, so it seems to be a safety.
[01:02]<zznza>yeah
[01:02]<zjzw>so it sounds to me like the solution is to not use that device ?
[01:02]<zznza>the device is called iPod
[01:02]<zjzw>hmm, how is it that it would be using too much power?
[01:03]<zznza>rorx: okay, so I learned my lesson, and I won't plug in that device into the port, but I want my port back without need to reboot whole system!
[01:03]<zjzw>something's amiss it seems.
[01:03]<zznza>please
[01:03]<zznza>appel guys
[01:03]<zznza>not everyone lives in america, that is, not everyone must be stuppid
[01:03]<zznza>s/appel/apple
[01:03]<zjzw>gregj: oh boy, watch it there.
[01:03]<gdj>/
[01:03]<zznza>;]
[01:03]<zznza>I mean
[01:04]<zznza>it seems that software designed for/in america must be 200% idiot proff
[01:04]<zznza>proof
[01:04]<zjzw>gregj: I mean if a port is overdrawn, turning it off as a safety precation seems reasonable to me.
[01:04]<zznza>by european standard
[01:04]<zznza>s
[01:04]<zznza>rorx: sure, and I do agree, 100%
