<Twobar> DS and its the same thing. North Korea will not give away the only clout it has, not under that nutjob
<haku1> but it has a bad video card
<Twobar> hey Sting
<bmc> Lupine you buy an awful lot of new computers, how about donating your old ones to the needy?, namely... me. :P
<Lupine> sting: do you have your one sheet of plywood and spray paint "I'm drunk. You loot, I shoot!" yet?
<STINGRAY`> twobar heya wilma be coming soon
<Twobar> sting yup
<Lupine> bmc: well, most are for work :P
<STINGRAY`> lupine nah my sign says looters weelcome
<Kaliuna> hey STING
<STINGRAY`> kali hey
<Lupine> bmc: however, I'm gonna keep these new 9100s.. and probably donate my two older ones to students at the university
<bmc> i need some cheap stuff
<bmc> i need a whole new system, but for now, a mobo will work
<STINGRAY`> kali monday the day
<Kaliuna> Sting -- looks more north tonight -- dunno
<bmc> for a p3 coppermine
<STINGRAY`> kali yep twoards me
<Lupine> oh man, those might be hard to find now
<STINGRAY`> lupine where is storm goin
<STINGRAY`> you or me
<STINGRAY`> i am sending to lupine
<STINGRAY`> kali where north
<surlly> hopefully it stays south of me
<Lupine> well, its greatly weakened. it sat on Cozomul for a whole day
<Kaliuna> Sting -- more toward Tampa from looks of it...
<bmc> would be a decent server machine after i get a brand new machine, and will work better for a desktop than these pos i have working now
<Lupine> btw:yes, there *IS* a tropical storm Alpha
<Kaliuna> yup Lupi sure is....
<manzini> liberal, any other liberals here beside me?
<bmc> there has been since this morning
<Lupine> bmc: we had quite a few Dual PIII copptermine systems, but good MB's dried up :(
<bmc> when i announced it!
<bmc> :P
<EDinATL> god I hope not
<Kaliuna> bmc - ahh it was announced last night...
<YYZ> all you gotta do is cross your figers and hope nothing happens, the very fact that you live in florida and not bangladesh will probably save your life
<Lupine> sting: right now, it looks like the "center of the cone" is right over PUnta gorda.. haahaha
<bmc> oh
<bmc> i went to sleep early
<surlly> NOAA does Podcasts
<bmc> i was playing with this game lincity-ng
<bmc> ever see/play that? heh
<bmc> i dont quite understand it, but it looks ok for a freebie
<IamKing> Lupine: probably all VIA chipsets on those mobo's too :P
<Kaliuna> bmc -- I called it a couple days ago -- when I was looking at Satellite pix - said it was gonna form up - and there looks like another one -- but gee they gonna call it Beta -- and will it test the limit?
<Lupine> hahaha.. the "plot" shows it being just off the coast of florida at 1PM monday, but all the way up parallel with Delaware on 1PM tuesday
<Lupine> Iam: ugh, that era VIA chipsets I avoid like the plague. Give me BX anyday!
<bmc> Kaliuna what happens if they use up the entire greek alphabet?
<Kaliuna> Lupi - dang thing is only moving at 2-3 mph -- just sitting and slowly spinning
<IamKing> since when did BX support dual P3's? :P
<Kaliuna> bmc -- won't happen
<bmc> but what if it did?
<Rockfish> Lupine, once it gets into the Atlantic, the jet stream pulls it north fast
<Lupine> Iam: hey, the BX didn't support 133 either.. but alot of boards did it very stable
<Kaliuna> then they go back to alphabet
<Lupine> Rock: yea, but its just funny
<haku1> hey
<haku1> you guys know anything about btx
<haku1> instead of atx?
<bmc> wtf is btx?
<Kaliuna> In the 1930s when they had 21 names hurricane/td's the midwest had a whopping 7 inches of snow for the entire winter...
<haku1> it's like atx
<haku1> but btx
<bmc> :P
<Lupine> Iam: we usually used Supermicro's with Serverworks thou.. but I think that is not what BMC is looking for
<Lupine> kal: the thing is, in 1930's, there may have been plenty of td's we never knew about
<Kaliuna> hmm anything ELSE in the news today?
<Kaliuna> Lupine - ya one of the guys on weather channel said same thing... but 30s there were 21 listed -- and several that got huge...
<occ> hmm
<Lupine> kal: the other thing is.. back then.. they did not have measurements every six hours.. often, the only valid/real measurement was at landfall
<Lupine> I mean, look at Katrina.. going by old measurements, it would be barely a category 4
<Kaliuna> lupi they had enough landfalls with them....
<Lupine> kal: that they did
<Lupine> I bet Camile was way paste 200mph before it hit land
<YYZ> they need to make bigger numbers for the categories
<Kaliuna> at any rate though they were talking about snowfall that winter... in midwest region - seemed to be very little in comparison
<bmc> katrina was 200mph before it neared the coast wasnt it?
<IamKing> no
<IamKing> 175
<bmc> or was 175mph the max?
<occ> BOOOOOORING
<Kaliuna> no 175-180 was all I saw it listed... but it was the physical size of it ...
<bmc> still bored?
<YYZ> why can't it just be cateogry 175, or 185 ? that way the new guy can make constant updates
<Kaliuna> the physical size was huge -- area covered
<surlly> Charlie was pretty exciting when it p***ed directly over my nouse
<occ> if we're gonna debate the stupid hurricane
<occ> sheesh
<YYZ> it's category 176, now 177, no, it's 175..
<Lupine> Yep, andrew was very intense.. but very dense
<Kaliuna> occ -- as I asked - what ELSE was in news today?? besides Wilma
<surlly> We watched it on TV till it was a few miles away. Then the power went out
<bmc> there has been no new for weeks
<bmc> new news
<Lupine> Katrina p***ed ~20miles to the south of me. I was on IRC laughing at her, as she was so puny ( then )
<surlly> But I had my little hand led tv
<bmc> its old recycled old news
<YYZ> why not category 5000 instaead of just 5??
<Kaliuna> bmc - thats about all it is --
<bmc> s/old/all
<surlly> YEa, you donthear much about Katrina when it p***ed over flordia
<occ> because we arbitrarily decided on a 1-5 scale
<bmc> saffir-simpson?
<Kaliuna> bmc - well except the death of jazz gal -- yesterday
<occ> (yyz)
<Lupine> surlly: even thou it did major flooding and killed like 14 people
<Kaliuna> and then you also categorize tornadoes too
<surlly> SOmebody is farting. COuld be one of the dogs, or my cat
<Lupine> katrina "snuck up" on south florida. The bars were still open at the beach when it hit tropical-storm force winds
<bmc> where is this rapture i keep hearing about? :P
<Lupine> you had a bunch fo drunks staggering around trying to hail a cab
<YYZ> it should be a scale of 1-6, otherwise why not just make 4 the highest and have a category 0, hmmm?
<Rockfish> Astros down one with the tying run on second, nobody out, top of the 8th
<bmc> should i be preparing for hordes of locusts and what not?
<Kaliuna> bmc -- in the bottle of tequila in your bar
<Lupine> yzz: heh, tornado's start at F0
<YYZ> see, i'm right!
<bmc> thats the fujita? scale?
<bmc> or some ****
<bmc> some asian dude iirc :P
<Kaliuna> peppers are better - they go from 1-10
<surlly> Fajita scale
<Kaliuna> on the hot scale
<Kaliuna> hurricanes are easier to predict than tornadoes
<Rockfish> tying run at third, nobody out
<bmc> isnt that something to do with the amount of sprays of sugar/water solution it takes to remove the heat?
<Lupine> kal: yea, I would rather deal with hurricanes than live in tornado alley
<Kaliuna> bmc -- ehh
<bmc> how they base the scale for peppers?
<Kaliuna> lupine - ya tell me about it...
<surlly> Troble with this world series is, I doubt anyone outside Chicago or Texas gives a **** who wins
<Lupine> bmc: amount of capsaicin
<Lupine> which is the active ingredient that gives "the burn"
<Kaliuna> bmc - oh not exactly sure -- but there is a listing of them by "heat index"
<bmc> The Scoville Scale
<coppi> wow, there was a Hurricane Okeechobee
<Rockfish> It's a shame Frank Thomas got hurt, had to miss the series
<Kaliuna> lupi -- and the one I have that I was asking about -- someone today in computer chat - who is another pepper grower said it might be a hybrid chili (hot)
<surlly> Is Pete Rose playing?
<coppi> that sure beats gilbert and mitch for cool hurricane names
