infobotwell, ugt is Universal Greeting Time. Created in #mipslinux, it is a rule that states that whenever somebody enters an IRC channel it is always morning, and it is always late when the person leaves. The local time of any other people in the channel, including the greeter, is irrelevant. http://www.total-knowledge.com/~ilya/mips/ugt.html03:29

josuahHow do you power on an N900 with kernel power and CSSU when it is charging? I keep pressing the power on button and it keeps taking me through weird splash screens. I have to remove the charger to get it to boot13:21
josuahPretty annoying since I just plugged in the charger to upgrade CSSU (it was refusing), now it won't boot13:21

souravI am getting error while doing u-boot-update-bootmenu14:19
keriosourav: which error?14:19
souravinvalid file-missing kernel14:19
keriothis is just a wild guess, mind you14:19
keriobut i think there might be a missing file14:20
souravokay what I did is installed uboot14:20
keriono, hold on14:20
keriowhere are you getting this error message?14:20
souravfrom terminal14:21
keriobecause it's normal that stuff like, say, backupmenu gives out that error14:21
jon_ywhat about the piggyback kernel?14:21
keriowhat about it?14:22
jon_ydoes that load?14:22
jon_yor only when adding new kernels?14:22
souravi didn't restarted14:22
souravwith fear14:22
keriosourav: error messages when parsing fanoush bootmenu entries are expected and normal14:23
keriosourav: pastebin the output if you're worried14:23
souravokay give me one minute14:23
DocScrutinizer06uBoot is unrelated to fanoush's bootmenu and shouldn't even touch those config files, except for importing stuff on explicit user command14:30
*** sourav has quit IRC14:30
DocScrutinizer06blame pali and ask for this getting fixed14:30
*** khertan has joined #maemo14:31
*** Hurrian_ is now known as Hurrian14:32
*** zhxt has quit IRC14:32
DocScrutinizer06spitting error msgs when there's no real error (known as "expected to fail") shouldn't show up anywhere either. You got all sorts of shell scripting tools to avoid such errors, starting with `test` command and not ending with redirection of stderr14:32
kerioit's more like a "Entry 'backupmenu.item' not a valid uboot bootmenu entry"14:34
*** zhxt has joined #maemo14:39
DocScrutinizer06exactly what I say: the two systems are largely unrelated, and shouldn't get mixed up by uboot install procedure14:43
DocScrutinizer06there are most likely some uBoot configs that user doesn't want to show up in bootmenu, and there are bootmenu items that are meaningless to uBoot and thus throw errors14:44
keriono uboot configs show up in fanoush bootmenu14:45
DocScrutinizer06it's like using same config for several alternative mail related programs. You wouldn't want your thunderbird and sendmail configs mixed up in a mess in one directory, would you?14:46
kerioof course not14:47
keriobut otoh, it would break backwards compatibility14:47
DocScrutinizer06the correct way for mail was to start a tool sendmail-import-from-thunderbird on user's discretion, and otherwise keep the two config domains separate14:47
DocScrutinizer06for uBoot all the same14:48

DocScrutinizer06kerio: wishes for new year are not moot when new year already started14:49
DocScrutinizer06you could argue that some believe too early congratualtions and wishes bring bad luck14:49
*** toxaris has joined #maemo14:50
kerioDocScrutinizer06: thus, the only correct congratulations are the one you give exactly as the calendar rolls over14:52
kerioand it must be instant14:52
kerio*they14:52
DocScrutinizer06why?14:52
keriobecause too early isn't ok, and too late is too late14:53

DocScrutinizer06there is no such thing like "too late"14:53

souravapologize15:59
souravwhat should i do now15:59
keriocharge the battery, for instance :)15:59
souravcharged it15:59
kerioonce it's charged, try turning your n900 on with the keyboard open15:59
keriothen get to the uboot prompt, and type "run attachboot"15:59
souravdid it16:00
souravyes then16:00
souravit reads and after nearly 3-4 sec it rebooted16:01
keriohm16:01
keriodid you change your kernel?16:01
souravi am on kpv51r116:02
kerioreflash it16:02
kerioget the .fiasco image from the deb16:02
kerioand then use flasher-3.5 to flash it, from a computer16:02
souravokay got it16:03
jon_yar x .deb; tar xfv control.tar.gz16:03
souravbut what can be the problem16:03
keriosourav: do you have cssu-thumb installed, perchance?16:03
souravyes16:03
keriowell that explains it16:04
jon_yoops, no more omap kernel for you16:04
kerioindeed16:04
kerioi'd even remove the kernel/kernel-flasher/kernel-modules packages16:04
kerioso you don't risk booting it at all16:04
keriosourav: the standard uboot image has the stock kernel attached to it16:04
kerioyou can't boot from that, it doesn't have the fix for thumb2 binaries16:05
DocScrutinizer05the joy of thumbified system16:05
keriooh shush, you16:06
souravthen how to use it ?16:08
jon_yif you have the kp modules already installed, just flash the kp kernel16:08
keriosourav: install kernel-power-bootimg, pretty much16:08

*** kolp has joined #maemo16:15
jon_yif the kp selection is not there, you'll need to flash kp onto it to replace uboot16:15
keriojon_y: well, not necessarily16:15

DocScrutinizer05kerio: the friggin uboot-update-bootmenu (or whatsthename) threw error16:22
keriono it didn't16:22
DocScrutinizer05kerio: you'll need to toss over the real uBoot command to boot kp5116:22
keriohttp://pastebin.ca/2298487 <- this is a correct output from u-boot-update-bootmenu16:23
DocScrutinizer05ouuuuuuuch!16:23
souravbut whats that invalid file-missing kernel16:24
DocScrutinizer05anyway, could you provide a uBoot menu screenshotß16:24
keriosourav: backupmenu isn't a uboot entry16:25
DocScrutinizer05sourav: bogus bullshit16:25
kerio...pretty much, yes16:25
kerioDocScrutinizer05: i'm not sure if i have another digital camera16:25
DocScrutinizer05could you paste the original uBoot init file?16:26
DocScrutinizer05unlike most of you I prefer that over some messy bootmenu entries16:26
DocScrutinizer05since it *really* shows what uboot gonna do16:26
DocScrutinizer05tbh I never got it how bootmenu would boot other kernels at all - except when it's part of friggin maemo-multiboot16:30
keriothere's no original uboot init file16:30
DocScrutinizer05nonsense16:31
kerioif there's no "bootmenu.scr" in the first vfat partition, it defaults to... something16:31
DocScrutinizer05when there wasn't then uBoot wouldn't even boot16:31
kerioprobably a menu with "run attached kernel" and "enter uboot console"16:31
DocScrutinizer05unless the built in defaults of uboot are somewhat making sense for some standard bootup16:32
kerioindeed :)16:32
kerioi'm not sure of what's going to happen if you use the uboot without an attached kernel16:32
kerioprobably just the console16:32
jon_ykerio: can you post the .item for resque OS?16:33

* DocScrutinizer05 sighs16:35
jon_ykerio: where does initrd gets installed to? /boot too?16:36
keriojon_y: you have to put the files in /boot or /opt/boot and then run u-boot-update-bootmenu so the images are converted for uboot and placed in MyDocs/bootmenu.img.d16:36
jon_yI know where the kernel goes, initrd also goes to those places?16:37
DocScrutinizer05OUUUUCH!16:37
keriojon_y: yep16:37
kerioDocScrutinizer05: you seem to be hurting for some reason16:37

jon_ykerio: ok, also which script do you use to attach kp52?16:38

*** eMHa_ has quit IRC16:40
keriocomplain to pali16:41
souravwell i reflashed my device now how can i use uboot16:42
DocScrutinizer05uboot is for booting different kernels. different kernels need different kernel modules in root filesystem. and A thombifid system needs a matching kernel anyway16:45
keriosourav: what did you reflash? :o16:46
DocScrutinizer05so the first question isn't "how can I use uBoot?" but "what do I want to accomplish and do I need uBoot for that, or can it be done at all?"16:46
DocScrutinizer05the first part of second question is sth only you can answer16:47
*** ToJa92 has joined #maemo16:47
souravi was planning to install nemo16:49
DocScrutinizer05standard uBoot comes in a config that per default boots to stock kernel and stock rootfs system. If you changed your rootfs system to thumb, it won't work with the kernel that comes with uBoot16:49
DocScrutinizer05other kernels and systems (like nemo) need special installation to uBoot16:50
DocScrutinizer05uBoot somewhat supports a 'standard' secondary OS to boot, installed on uSD16:51
DocScrutinizer05it however does NOT support primary system = thumb16:51
DocScrutinizer05and that's your 2problem"16:51
DocScrutinizer05and that's your "problem"16:51
keriowhat do you mean it doesn't :o16:51
FredrIQ|n900shouldbepossibletoworkaround16:52
FredrIQ|n900+spaces16:52
DocScrutinizer05isn't that obvious? I elaborated that uBoot comes with stock kernel attached, and stock kernel doesn't work for thombified system16:52
DocScrutinizer05FredrIQ|n900: yep, thus I placed "problem" into ticks16:53
kerioso don't use the attached kernel, use something else16:53
*** rcg has joined #maemo16:53
DocScrutinizer05kerio: I know the sitaution, the issues, and the solution. But it seemed to me you failed to explain any of that to sourav16:54
kerio:s i tried16:54
souravwell both of you explained me very deeply thanks16:56
souravso what i  got till now is to wait till an update to uboot16:56
DocScrutinizer05I think the probelm sourav is facing could be summarized as: wants to use uBoot eventually to run sth like nemo etc, but right now fails to make thumb system run with uBoot which he'll eventually need to boot nemo. So first we need to explain to him how to set up a stock uBoot pkg so it will boot to thumb system per default16:56
DocScrutinizer05sourav: such update is unlikely to happen any soonish16:57
souravyes please continue doc16:57
souravhow to get it working with thumb16:57
DocScrutinizer05you'll need to add a proper configuration plus the needed KP image to uBoot config, and make uBoot boot that KP zImage instead of the attached stock kernel16:58
DocScrutinizer05by default16:58
DocScrutinizer05preferably16:58
DocScrutinizer05or you dive in head first, and build your own uBoot+KP combo16:59
DocScrutinizer05if that's even possible, regarding the limited space in kernel partition and increased size of KP compared to stock kernel16:59
kerioit's possible17:00
DocScrutinizer05sourav: uBoot lives in kernel partition (cat /proc/mtd) and it's a 'header' to any default kernel attached and living in same partition17:00
DocScrutinizer05this is the kernel uBoot boots by default17:01
DocScrutinizer05both uBoot and the attached kernel come with uBoot package17:01
DocScrutinizer05the standard uBoot package contains stock kernel17:01
DocScrutinizer05this stock kernel will fail with your thumb system17:02
*** shamus has quit IRC17:03
souravokay got it17:04
*** shamus has joined #maemo17:04
FredrIQ|n900afaik there's even a version of uboot attached to kp in repositories17:04
DocScrutinizer05so your options are a) don't use thumb binaries in your default root fs  b) attach a KP51/2 to the uBoot header before flashing the thing to /dev/mtd3  c) make uBoot boot kernel from a zImage somewhere on NAND or eMMC or uSD17:04

FredrIQ|n900hmmmmm ok17:04
FredrIQ|n900@ kerio17:05
*** FredrIQ|n900 is now known as FIQ|n90017:05
DocScrutinizer05indeed there been a uBoot+KP47 or something17:05
DocScrutinizer05but that KP (whatever version it been) doesn't support thumb rootfs17:06
DocScrutinizer05you'd need a up-to-date version of that17:06

souravbut rightnow i need to restore my backup http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-devel_free_armel/backupmenu/1.2.0-1/17:13
DocScrutinizer05sourav: alternatively you could pull the sources and build the "binary pkg" yourself, with recent KP17:13
souravits gives dependencies error17:13
keriomake sure you install a kernel that matches the modules in your backup17:13
DocScrutinizer05you need same kernel you had when you made that backup17:14
DocScrutinizer05BM doesn't backup the kernel itself, only the kernel modules17:14
FIQ|n900^ I found out that the hard way once...17:14
DocScrutinizer05if you restore the "wrong" kernel modules, you earn a bootloop17:14
FIQ|n900and a broken backupmenu17:14
souravwant these to be installed bootmenu, tar-gnu, i2c-tools, mtd-utils, libacl117:14

DocScrutinizer05probably you could move away your /lib/modules, restore, the move /lib/modules back into place and do a depmod -a17:16
DocScrutinizer05then move*17:17
FIQ|n900DocScrutinizer05: speaking of backupmenu, why does "recovery console" just give a black screen?17:18
DocScrutinizer05or you install same kernel you had before/when you did that backup, then restore, then install whatever kernel you like17:18

AoyagiWell yeah, it was a rhetorical question :D21:38
DocScrutinizer05not even that21:39
AoyagiI'm guessing words like "useless" and "annoying" come to your mind.21:40
*** luf has quit IRC21:40
DocScrutinizer05more like "irritating"21:41
AoyagiYeah...21:41
DocScrutinizer05like "what's the advantage of an AK47 over a kalashnikov?"21:43
AoyagiThat doesn't make sense.21:43
RST38hThere are multiple models of Kalashnikov machine gun21:43
RST38hSo, do specify21:43
AoyagiOh.21:43
AoyagiSo it does make sense.21:43
AoyagiBut the internet says AK-47 = Kalashnikov...oh well, nevermind.21:45
DocScrutinizer05it make as much or as little sense as your question did21:46
AoyagiNote the word "regular"21:46
RST38hInternet actually says a lot if you know where to look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47#Variants21:46
AoyagiWell, those aren't really designed by certain Kalashnikov, they were only based on that person's design.21:47
AoyagiExcept for some Saiga rifle21:47
AoyagiBut I'm not saying you're wrong, for all I know, you could be a gun freak :)21:49
* DocScrutinizer05 idly ponders if seriously elaborating about a question stated as an example for meaningless, well that's trolling, is it?21:49
* RST38h yawns, scrolls back, makes a Cpt Obvious face and informs the public that both "netbook" and "ultrabook" are Intel's marketing terms, rather well defined21:50
RST38hDown to screen dimensions even, if I remember correctly21:50
Sc0rpiusI have a netbook and it's the ONLY device I take on the road21:51
Sc0rpiuseven if I'm visiting customers or whatever21:51
DocScrutinizer05so I hope you agree that a question like "what's the addition in a 14" notebook over a regular notebook" is definitely nonsensical21:51
AoyagiOf course, 14" is fairly regular.21:52
Sc0rpiusthat's HEAVY21:52
Sc0rpiusanything > 2 kilos is HEAVY21:52
Sc0rpiusthat's why netbooks are so cool21:52
Sc0rpiusI would replace my netbook with an Asus VivoBook 11.2, it's a touch ultrabook, very cool.21:53
DocScrutinizer05the next one joining in to answer an nonsense question21:53
Sc0rpiuswell I'm trying to make my point that anything >13" is useless21:53
Sc0rpiuson the road21:53
Sc0rpiusunless you want back pains21:54
DocScrutinizer05who denied it?21:54
DocScrutinizer05who asked for that wisdom?21:54
RST38hSc0rpius <-- correct21:54
AoyagiMeh, depends on your preferences.21:54
RST38hBut do consider this little gem:21:54
RST38hFor years now, Toshiba made full-specced notebooks that are well within both netbook and ultrabook dimensions21:55
RST38hSo, effectively, you do not need to buy that measly CedarTrail-based ugly fuckling21:55
DocScrutinizer05I guess now Intel gonna sue them for not copying their ultrabook design ?21:55
RST38hYou can buy a Core i7 based notebook that will have the same size21:56
Sc0rpiuswell not only Toshiba, have you heard of the HP Folio?21:56
RST38hDoc: No, why?21:56
DocScrutinizer05just tried to anticipate the point21:56
RST38hDoc: For once, they simply renamed their portege series into ultrabooks now21:56
Sc0rpiusthough the HP Folio is 13" but it's less than 1 cm thick21:56
RST38hDoc: without changing much, just a little bit to match Intel's requirements21:56
RST38hDoc: Secondly, Intel can only make fuss if you call "ultrabook" somethign that does not satisfy their official specs21:57
DocScrutinizer05pondering we came from [2013-01-01 19:34:45] <Sc0rpius> http://www.businessinsider.com/sayonara-netbooks-asus-and-the-rest-wont-make-any-more-in-2013-2013-1  :-/21:58
DocScrutinizer05this "discussion" seems to spin in pointless circles21:59
AoyagiIt's called conversion flow, isn't it?21:59
Sc0rpiushaha well I agree the "debate" isn't going anywhere hehehehe21:59
Sc0rpiusbut I'm sad the netbooks won't be made anymore, I have one, I use it for everything22:00
Sc0rpiusit's because somebody out there said "who would need a netbook anyway"22:00
Sc0rpiuswhen you have a netbook, the question becomes: "who needs a laptop anyway"22:00
RST38hDoc: Well, endlessly discussing definitions is an ages-proven special olympics sport.22:00
AoyagiSc0rpius: Again, personal preferences.22:00
RST38hSc0rpius: I need a small, light, powerful laptop22:01
ShadowJKAoyagi; dunno, I just walked into store and told them I needed a machine with keyboard, screen and ethernet port that runs for 8 hours on battery22:01
RST38hSc0rpius: I DO NOT need a CDT-based laptop, whatever you call it22:01
ShadowJKand only thing they could offer was the netbook :)22:01
RST38hSc0rpius: Should I elaborate?22:01
Sc0rpiuswell the most important thing to me is weight22:01
Sc0rpiusI can even live with a Pentium 4 if it weighs less than 2 kilos22:01
RST38hYou can't. Do not fool yourself.22:01
AoyagiShadowJK: Small shop, wasn't it? There's quite a lot of laptops with battery life 8 hours. Advertised anyway...22:01
Sc0rpiusafter weight (and size), then in my opinion comes power22:02
ShadowJKAoyagi; they're usually obscenely expensive though22:02
Sc0rpiusas I said, I have a netbook with an Intel Atom which you should know might be very slow and I use it to go to the office22:02
Sc0rpiusand I leave the job-assigned laptop at home22:02
ShadowJKYeah mine's atom too22:02
ShadowJKAs a bonus, it doesn't sound like a vaccuum cleaner like notebooks ;)22:03
AoyagiYeah, you pay for power than is incomparable to the cheap trash used in the low-end small notebook, a.k.a netbooks.22:03
ShadowJKThe tablet is of course always silent, but lacks ethernet port22:03
AoyagiBut again, personal preferences. I'm just saying that people don't want them anymore. You two are in fact first people praising the machines I've met :D22:04
Sc0rpiusif you need power, then you're using the wrong OS22:05
Sc0rpiusmy netbook has Lubuntu, runs Libreoffice completely smooth, I give presentations with it every week22:05
Sc0rpiusit nevers gets hot22:05
Sc0rpiusit never makes noise22:05
ShadowJKIt's vastly superior to my previous portable machine, a desktop mAtx P3-1Ghz that fit into a backpack. Had to borrow screen at sites though lol22:05
Sc0rpiusweighs like 1.5 kilos22:05
Sc0rpiusunbeatable.22:05
Sc0rpiusand the battery says it lasts 10 hours but in practice lasts 8 hours22:06
Sc0rpiusso I don't even plug it while I'm in the office22:06
Sc0rpiusit's unbeatable it's the best thing they have ever created: netbooks22:06
Sc0rpiusnow the laptop:22:07
Sc0rpiusI walk 2 blocks and the back pain is unbearable22:07
AoyagiCan your Lubuntu run Adobe products and games?22:07
Sc0rpiusit gets hot after 2 minutes being on22:07
ShadowJKnetbooks and tablets are nice also in the way that it has dampened the upgrade race and annual ripoff :)22:07
Sc0rpiusit sounds like a vaccum cleaner22:07
Sc0rpiuswhy would I want to run games at the office...22:07
AoyagiOh? So why carry the machine out of the office at all?22:07
Sc0rpiusthe only Adobe feature I would need is to edit non protected PDFs and there are several Linux tools for htat22:08
Sc0rpiusoh well you need to, depends on the job you have22:08
AoyagiWell, some people actually work in Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere.22:08
Sc0rpiusif you go to customers all the time, you need it portable22:08
* kerio has a 17" laptop22:08
Sc0rpiuswell I'm not, I'm not a graphic designer22:08
keriohaters gonna hate22:08
Sc0rpiusfor games and stuff, I have a desktop at home22:08
AoyagiAnd I can't imagine any scenario when you HAVE to carry your notebook or whatever from work.22:08
Sc0rpiustwo monitors, quad core, latest nVidia GTX, etc.22:09
Sc0rpiuswhich is the computer I'm using to type these letters right now22:09
Sc0rpiusthese "lines"22:09
Sc0rpiuswhat?22:09
Sc0rpiuswell if you're a Presales Engineer22:09
Sc0rpiusyou have to go to customers all the time to give presentations all the time to SELL22:10
Sc0rpiusso the other people in the company can work22:10
kerioSc0rpius: libreoffice on n90022:10
keriowith the AV cable22:10
RST38hSc0rpius: If you go to customers, tiny low-cost LCD screen used in netbooks will not cut it22:10
ShadowJKit'd be cool with maemo4 UI :)22:10
Sc0rpiusthe problem with that kerio is battery22:10
Sc0rpiusRST38h, you have a video beam with you also22:11
RST38hSc0rpius: Neither will the rudimentary keyboard when you have to type something22:11
Sc0rpiusso you project the screen in a wall22:11
Sc0rpiusthat's another suitcase you have to carry along22:11
RST38hSc0rpius: And no, customers do not like Powerpoint loading for 30 seconds22:11
AoyagiHeh, there are better things to give presentations than netbooks. Actually it's one of the few uses of tablets I can think of.22:11
Sc0rpiususually I load everything and suspend the netbook with everything ready before I leave the office22:11
RST38hSc0rpius: Well, I carry just one suitcase with a light notebook22:11
kerioSc0rpius: 8 hours, when it was new22:11
Sc0rpiusmy battery with 3G lasts 4 hours or so.22:12
Sc0rpius(the N900)22:12
AoyagiSc0rpius: But the main thing is that it suits you best, me thinks.22:12
*** FredrIQ|n900 has joined #maemo22:12
keriooh you mean the n900, right22:12
RST38hSc0rpius: REAL notebook with decent quality 12-13" screen that weights 1.2kg22:12
keriowell, without using data it lasts much longer for me22:12
Sc0rpiusyeah like the Asus VivoBook :)22:12
kerioRST38h: macbook air, like linus22:12
AoyagiYeah, my "small" notebook (Toshiba Portege, in fact) is pretty light too.22:13
DocScrutinizer05Aoyagi: it's not like nobody wants netbooks anymore, it's just nobody can make money with them anymore22:13
Sc0rpiusGOOD POINT22:13
RST38hSc0rpius: There is no place for netbooks in this picture22:13
AoyagiDocScrutinizer05: How's that a difference?22:13
AoyagiI mean..22:13
AoyagiWhat's the difference...22:13
Sc0rpiusthe thing is, the "hype" right now are tablets and I really ask "why would anyone need a tablet"22:13
RST38hSc0rpius: Unless you are a terrible miser who just can't bring himself to spend extra $30022:13
kerionetbooks suck, anyway22:14
Sc0rpiusyou know I was one of the  morons that got an iPad 2 and also an Android tablet22:14
DocScrutinizer05Aoyagi: the difference is in first pirson22:14
RST38hHehe22:14
Sc0rpiusI only use the iPad to play bingo on Facebook, that's all22:14
*** FIQ|n900 has quit IRC22:14
RST38hSc0rpius: So which one are you still using?22:14
DocScrutinizer05like 2me" ves "you"22:14
FredrIQ|n900the reason is windows22:14
Sc0rpiusand I haven't turned on the Android tablet in MONTHS22:14
keriothey have a small screen size, a small keyboard size, and they're still fairly thick22:14
FredrIQ|n900@ nobody can make a profit22:14
kerioSc0rpius: sell it22:14
Sc0rpiusso I still can't figure out a use for the tablets I own22:14
Sc0rpiusexcept for playing bingo on Facebook :/22:15
RST38hSc0rpius: Android pads are actually good for watching movies22:15
RST38hSc0rpius: probably for reading too, I guess22:15
Sc0rpiusI like to watch movie in my big LCD screen in my bedroom22:15
FredrIQ|n900and playing games22:15
AoyagiDocScrutinizer05: Could you elaborate? All I see is "them".22:15
DocScrutinizer05Aoyagi: and don't tell me that's again been one of your "rhetorical questions"22:15
Sc0rpiusI just read when I do #222:15
AoyagiNo, it is not.22:15
Sc0rpiusand I have magazines in the bathroom for that hehe22:15
*** FredrIQ|n900 is now known as FIQ|n90022:15
DocScrutinizer05Aoyagi: you know, bees, flowers....22:16
DocScrutinizer05errr22:16
RST38hSc0rpius: Can't tear pages out of a tablet, can you? =)22:16
DocScrutinizer05I won't go to explain maket and life at large to you22:16
Sc0rpiuswell there's this cool card game (like Magic) in the iPad called "Ascension" that can be played online also, that's another use22:16
AoyagiRight.22:16
DocScrutinizer05I think my statement been as crisp and clear as it could get22:16
Sc0rpiusread the article, it really nails why netbooks aren't made anymore22:17
FIQ|n900mtg22:17
AoyagiSo you claim that the fact that people don't want (ergo don't buy) netbooks isn't, in fact, the reason as of why aren't they profitable anymore.22:17
Sc0rpiusand it's because the market of them doesn't exist.  Who wanted a netbook already got one and it's not gonna replace it in at least 4 years22:17
AoyagiIs that correct?22:17
AoyagiOr did that "nobody can make money with them" expression mean that "nobody can use them to work and therefore make money"?22:18
* DocScrutinizer05 more and more feels like getting trolled22:19
Sc0rpiusI should take a shower :(22:19
