[00:04]<smgmq>Never mind "Cool Ranch" or "Black Pepper Jack" Doritos -- all the cool kids eat "Swift Kick to the 'Nads" Doritos!
[00:06]<nfsxrr>synd2, no. I drag the .wdget folder in the /Library/Widget folder.
[00:06]<nfsxrr>let's try to double click it
[00:06]<smgmq>I click to install and trash it after
[00:07]<gjvygusn>what is the best/easiest way to wipe a disk in mac os ?
[00:07]<gjvygusn>i.e. make sure no tech can undelete files....
[00:08]<smgmq>notinuse: Disk Utility.app
[00:08]<nfsxrr>hum ok. the system replies that this widget is not a valid widget...
[00:08]<nfsxrr>at least I know why it doesn't work now.
[00:08]<nfsxrr>thanks synd2
[00:08]<smgmq>notinuse: Check the "random number write" or whatever it is
[00:10]<gjvygusn>er, sorry. By "wipe" I meant "make files unrestorable without cleaning out the whole partition"
[00:10]<gjvygusn>my bad
[00:10]<kgzggfo7>notinuse: you can secure delete files in the trash
[00:10]<smgmq>notinuse: You can put them in the trashcan and click "secure empty trash"
[00:11]<smgmq>notinuse: The option is in the Finder menu, IIRC
[00:11]<smgmq>notinuse: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031209104734170
[00:11]<gjvygusn>I don't see a "secure delete" menu item anywhere obvious
[00:11]<gjvygusn>thanks looking
[00:12]<smgmq>It's called "Secure empty trash"
[00:12]<smgmq>Not "secure delete"
[00:12]<smgmq>And it's in the Finder menu dropdown

[00:12]<ggrzjsrg>why the fuck did i fuck with this damn thing
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>its such a fucking bitch
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>the files are right there
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>the indexes are there
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>they point to correct files
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>what could be wrong?
[00:13]<smgmq>User error
[00:13]<gjvygusn>speaking of bitches, my new macbook, less than 2 months old, is kaputt
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>theres a reason the fucking thing is fucking up, synd
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>and its a file
[00:13]<smgmq>notinuse: ?
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>but which fucking file is it
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>what tells gb "there are no loops"
[00:13]<ggrzjsrg>when everything that should be there is there
[00:14]<smgmq>Isn't there an "add loops" feature from within Garageband?
[00:14]<smgmq>That's what I use
[00:14]<ggrzjsrg>dude
[00:14]<gjvygusn>it started powering itself down randomly every few hours, but now it only lasts a few minutes... even does it in target/firewire dumb drive mode
[00:14]<ggrzjsrg>I have EVERY apple loop there is
[00:14]<ggrzjsrg>in the correct positions
[00:14]<ggrzjsrg>but the fucking thing is saying "omg nothing there im a stupid apple application har har"
[00:15]<gjvygusn>the store wants to charge me $50 to get the data off the disk... bastards
[00:15]<smgmq>Necrosan: Well obviously that didn't work so you might want to try a differnt route.
[00:15]<smgmq>notinuse: Did you call Apple?
[00:16]<gjvygusn>not yet, just talked to the store (compusa) today
[00:16]<smgmq>Well, you have AppleCare still
[00:16]<smgmq>Apple is pretty good about fixing ailing Macs
[00:17]<zzznlxzvx>Hi all...I just was shocked to see a server which happens to be a nfs share(that I DID NOT setup) when I did a browse for servers on my lan...how do I disconnect it?
[00:18]<zzznlxzvx>OS X 10.4.X
[00:18]<zzznlxzvx>.7
[00:19]<kgzggfo7>anyone know what i keep my mac software? been so long since i isntalled anything i can't remember... lol
[00:19]<gjvygusn>does your lan have a wireless router?
[00:19]<smgmq>kernel86: That didn't make much sense
[00:20]<zzznlxzvx>notinuse: I have my mother-in-law connected through the wireless router...yes
[00:20]<zzznlxzvx>I need to get the share unmounted
[00:21]<kgzggfo7>WTF, how come my pos DVD-RAM drive can read this DVD+R but none of the others...
[00:21]<srrgssgg>has anyone noticed how OS X tends to thrash under moderately heavy loads? (make -j2 in a large software project for example)
[00:21]<srrgssgg>I don't think my machine is hitting swap
[00:22]<kgzggfo7>i mean i just isntallec xcode over the network because it wouldn't read the disc i burnt it on, picky pos
[00:22]<zudl_>ping
[00:22]<smgmq>Pong
[00:23]<zudl_>more colloquy bashing, sometimes when i load it, i will join channels, and see the messages in the console, but they will now show up in the channel windows
[00:23]<zudl_>even though they will get #s beside them letting me know people are talking
[00:23]<zudl_>s/now/not
[00:23]<xasv>whew - just remembered I need to buy applecare for my imac - went to the apple support site and find I have 15 days left to buy it
[00:24]<smgmq>Hey maybe it's time to find a better IRC client
[00:24]<zudl_>maybe
[00:24]<smgmq>Like, anything
[00:24]<zudl_>anyone? wine'd mirc? :)
[00:24]<xasv>[insert irssi evangelism here]
[00:24]<zudl_>err anything*
[00:24]<zudl_>i am braindead today
[00:24]<gjvygusn>Zarephath: sounds like securing the router would be your best bet
[00:25]<zzznlxzvx>notinuse: Of course..but that isn't the question I asked...I issued the mount command and don't see the nfs: share listed..so how do I kill it? umount it?
[00:25]<zudl_>macirssi 0.8.0?
[00:26]<smgmq>Macirssi is good
[00:26]<gjvygusn>rebooting to bump it off isn't an option?
[00:26]<xasv>rump: I use regular irssi myself, but I hear good things about the gui version
[00:26]<zzznlxzvx>Sure...if it does clear it off
[00:26]<zzznlxzvx>Thanks!!!
[00:26]<smgmq>Same here.
[00:26]<zudl>does it have creature comforts like noise when someone mentions my name and automatic nickerv handling, etc
[00:27]<smgmq>rump: It is the most configurable IRC client out there
[00:27]<gjvygusn>secure the router and then reboot i think would work
[00:27]<xasv>dunno, like I said, I don't use it :)
[00:27]<smgmq>rump: But not good for lazies
[00:27]<zudl>guys site is down
[00:27]<zudl>i am a lazy
[00:27]<smgmq>There is no "check here for sound"
[00:27]<smgmq>Irssi is scriptable
[00:28]<zudl>tcl or what
