[00:18] hey Metcalf, you know if anyone has made something like a corewar screensaver?

[15:47] chkdsk always "says" there are problems [15:47] but it's not a reproducable error [15:47] it just .. happens sometimes [15:48] seems like an overheat but the proc isn't hot [15:48] if it still happens under virtualization i'll know i gotta look at my hardware i guess [15:48] heh i've reboot/chkdsk'd my system drive 8 times in a row before and it never is content [15:48] i don't get it [15:49] i think chkdsk is just fucked [15:49] your HD might be going bonk [15:49] nah [15:49] i have like 5 drives [15:49] it does it to any of them [15:49] mostly it just complains of invalid indexes and stuff [15:49] then its some fucked driver [15:49] Nforce 3 chip? [15:50] i don't remember [15:50] * myndzi thinks [15:50] nforce chipsets have always had problems with harddrives (and memory modules) [15:51] tell me about it [15:51] but i wouldnt consider that a common trouble anymore [15:51] my last board had a corruption error reading from sata drives [15:51] this mobo is pretty recent [15:51] intel processor? [15:51] MB GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L P35 RT [15:51] yeah, this time [15:51] p35, yeah [15:51] last time, amd [15:52] intel-chipset so its unlikely to be a problem [15:52] tellin you, thing's been pretty solid [15:53] i doubt it's anything particular to the initial config [15:53] at the same time, it's pretty rare these days to have an application bring down the whole system [15:53] :( [15:53] sonofa... [15:53] yeah [15:53] 2k isn't installing :( [15:54] i can't find my xp cd [15:54] (my previous case was an firewall taking the whole ip-stack with it when i uninstalled it) [15:54] joy [15:54] though that install of XP had been going for 3 years and two motherboards so its was kinda time to reinstall [15:54] i get errors about not being able to do a crashdump in the log heh [15:55] yeah, this one's pretty old too [15:56] i think i just don't have enough free space for it [15:56] * myndzi frees some space [15:56] not that it'll really help me much [15:57] you might want to try running it from ramdisk too [15:57] well, virtual machine does that [15:57] * myndzi shrugs [15:57] this'll help me narrow the problem down at the very least [17:26] blah [17:27] this is so much more trouble than it is worth [17:27] got smooched? [17:37] ? [17:37] nah, i found an xp cd that installed [17:37] then i installed perl [17:37] and now i'm gettin some error or other [17:40] 80,69939729Use of uninitialized value in addition (+) at optitools.pm line 44.

[17:45] Hi Roy [17:45] I've only managed to reach rank 120 so far in recmath [17:45] I've got a new plan for the primes, but I need something and can't find it :( [17:46] i don't know unix well enough to bother [17:46] heh [17:49] i guess it just breaks on other drives than the one perl was installed to [17:57] ok, time to try and crash it again [18:10] you won't know unix unless you start using it:) [18:10] and unless you start using it, you'll spend all your time chasing down shit that doesn't make sense in windows. [18:10] (because windows doesn't make sense) [18:27] MSG: [18:34] it was an error in the perl code, not in windows :> [18:34] trust me, i'd rather chase down stupid shit in windows [18:35] than chase down stupid shit in linux [18:35] at least in windows i don't end up having to manually hack/patch source code or compile the kernel [18:51] MSG: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com [19:35] MSG: Quit: humhum [19:50] Join: CoreOld joined #corewars [20:48] MSG: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com
