2008.12.28 01:00 - Technical zen jokes

ahh what a morning, woke up, forgot to set my clock and noticed that this is just some minutes before the pab meeting:)

(arrived point  01:00 ^^)

Moon Fargis: hi crusty
Crusty Goldshark: hi moon
Crusty Goldshark: how are things bear?
Moon Fargis: good good :)
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Crusty Goldshark: been trying the new sabayon linux and XP
Crusty Goldshark: both too slow
Crusty Goldshark: wot you bin up to?
Moon Fargis: haha well lnux never worked so far here cus of myy too new mainboard
Moon Fargis: well just woke up and noticed "oh..i have a pab meeting today"
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Crusty Goldshark: If Linux does not work for you - no point to it. However there are distros compiled for later hardware - for example Arch (may be too advanced)
Moon Fargis: arch linux ?
Crusty Goldshark: Yes as far as I know you create the distro more or less to your specs - Sabayon has a 64 bit version - what is so unique about your motherboard?
Crusty Goldshark: Wonder who was after that guy?
Moon Fargis: well it has the latest amd chipset on it but i see arch linux sounds good i will download it in background :)
Crusty Goldshark: I installed XP because I heard the Nvidia drivers were better - not so
Crusty Goldshark: Good luck
Moon Fargis: ^^ you finally bought some new computer parts?
Crusty Goldshark: Yes made very little difference - new motherboard and processor - more memory etc
Moon Fargis: hmhm and the gfx card?
Crusty Goldshark: Nvidia 7020 think it is
Moon Fargis: ah so you stayed with your old
Crusty Goldshark: No this is built in PCExpress - the motherboard allows me to get a graphic card in the future - but I think SL is inherently slow
Moon Fargis: yes thats true
Crusty Goldshark: I saw an interview with the founders and they are going over to the mono language which will not speed things up
Moon Fargis: but try to go to your graphics tab in your preferences andsee if the switch under hardware settings "enable open GL vertex buffers" changes something if you switch it off or on
Crusty Goldshark: done all that
Moon Fargis: also take a quick look if the memory settings are right, sl often thinks you gut huge much more gfx memory then you really have
Crusty Goldshark: ok
Moon Fargis: well the mono languae will mostly speed up script stuff
Moon Fargis: brb i really need a tea atm :)
Crusty Goldshark: ok
Moon Fargis: wb
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Moon Fargis: hmm you know.. sl doesnt get stable becasue of new hardware:)
Crusty Goldshark: no that was me - I find SL is stable
Moon Fargis: ah ok :)
Moon Fargis: hmm btw do yoou know some nice buddhist jokes?
Crusty Goldshark: What do you get for the Boddhisattvah who has everything?
Crusty Goldshark: Nothing!
Moon Fargis: hhmhm :) ok Added to my notecard
Moon Fargis: The Emperor asked Master Gudo, "What happens to a man of enlightenment after death?"
"How should I know?" replied Gudo.
"Because you're a master," answered the Emperor.
"Yes sir," said Gudo, "but not a dead one."
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Crusty Goldshark: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Nasrudin

Crusty Goldshark: 'Make me One with Everything' . . .
Moon Fargis: ahyes:)
Crusty Goldshark: There is also the story about the Rabbi, Christian and Zen Master who are at the funeral of a friend . . .
Moon Fargis: hmm dont know that one yet
Crusty Goldshark: The Rabbi says, this man loved money and places a $100 in the Coffin, the Christian replaces it with a cheque and the Zen master cashes it (they details are a bit more humorous)
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Moon Fargis: *giggles*
Crusty Goldshark: There are some joke cartoons told by 'Dharma the cat' . . .
Crusty Goldshark: should be on the net
Moon Fargis: dharma the cat? wow whodeveloped such thing?
