01:00:02 <Gizmokid2005> Win7 idles at <10% CPU with FF/TB/Pidgin/SB/DestroyTwitter/KVirc/XFire/NP++/Steam/VBoxVM w/1GB RAM
01:00:22 <Gizmokid2005> and when nothing is running it idles <5%CPU and <800MB RAM
01:00:44 <Gizmokid2005> RAM is a lot, but the only time I've actually looked, is after shutting everything down, but that's still with Steam and XFire running
01:05:15 <ChrisMorgan> That's more than I observed with Dad's installation of it.
01:05:19 <ChrisMorgan> s/more/less/
01:06:59 <rmccue> 1.62GB of RAM usage at the moment, with Firefox, Thunderbird, Notepad++, Steam, iTunes, Chrome and Pidgin. CPU usage is at 12% (quad core)
01:07:21 <Gizmokid2005> RAM is at 3GB right now for me, but over 1GB of that is for VM and FF (that hasn't been restarted all day)
01:07:27 <Gizmokid2005> quad core here as well
01:07:30 <Gizmokid2005> with 4GB ram
01:09:15 <rmccue> Firefox is only at 129K for me.
01:09:28 <rmccue> Chrome's the main hog at the moment.
01:09:37 <Gizmokid2005> 490K for me, but that's because I've been using LogMeIn and flash a lot.
01:09:53 <Gizmokid2005> Songbird is at 194K, TB at 155K, and Pidgin at 178K
01:10:01 <Gizmokid2005> so I've got a few hogs
01:10:19 <ChrisMorgan> K or M?
01:10:33 <Gizmokid2005> ChrisMorgan: (Thousand)K
01:10:53 <Gizmokid2005> since it's not a direct K --> M conversion I didn't do it :)
01:11:30 <rmccue> I have to say, Thunderbird + tabs = bad idea.
01:11:36 <Gizmokid2005> rmccue: why?
01:11:49 <ChrisMorgan> My instance of Firefox is currently using 246.7MB
01:11:50 <Gizmokid2005> I find it very useful, mainly because I use the WAT extension now, which I may add, is AMAZING.
01:11:56 <rmccue> Gizmokid2005: Increased memory usage, pretty much no benefit.
01:12:17 <rmccue> Gizmokid2005: I have the LOLWAT extension.
01:12:32 <ChrisMorgan> What do WAT and LOLWAT do?
01:12:37 <ChrisMorgan> I don't use Thunderbird at all at the moment.
01:12:39 <Gizmokid2005> WAT is WebApps as Tabs
01:12:50 <rmccue> I know.
01:12:55 <rmccue> ChrisMorgan: It was a joke. :P
01:13:08 <ChrisMorgan> Oh dear :/
01:13:11 <ChrisMorgan> :-/
01:13:47 <Gizmokid2005> but I've got GV and GW in it, which is really nice.
01:14:05 <Gizmokid2005> but their tab implementation really does fail, in terms of usage with RSS/Mail/Folders
01:14:12 <Gizmokid2005> I've found that the tabs like to resync to each other
01:14:26 <Gizmokid2005> if I have one in an RSS feed and another in Mail, they'll wind up syncing to the same folder
01:14:46 <ChrisMorgan> GV? GW? More acronyms I don't know about... I imagine GW is Google Wave but V?
01:14:54 <rmccue> Google Voice
01:14:55 <ChrisMorgan> Google Villifier
01:14:57 <ChrisMorgan> Ah
01:15:00 <rmccue> I'd guess.
01:15:01 <Gizmokid2005> Google Voice and Google Wave
01:15:09 * rmccue wins 10 internets
01:15:17 <ChrisMorgan> Seems to me this WAT is just making Thunderbird a web browser...
01:15:19 * Gizmokid2005 send rmccue freshly acquired cookies :)
01:15:21 <Gizmokid2005> ChrisMorgan: yes/no.
01:15:35 <Gizmokid2005> I hate having tabs open all the time in FF for stuff like that
01:15:51 <Gizmokid2005> in my email client it's easy to keep in one spot, because I really consider Wave/Voice to be just another form of email/RSS
01:15:56 <ChrisMorgan> Gizmokid2005: are those advertising website cookies you sent to Gizmokid2005?
01:16:48 <ChrisMorgan> Well, if/when I switch to Thunderbird I imagine I'll use Google Reader that way then. And possibly also http://portableapps.com/tracker and http://portableapps.com/user/31426/track...
01:16:58 <Gizmokid2005> ChrisMorgan: you mean to rmccue? Nope. They are harmless tasty cookies for him to nom on.
01:17:20 <rmccue> TEH COOKIEZ ARE A LYE!
01:17:36 <Gizmokid2005> No rmccue, they aren't. They are Peanut Butter No bakes.
01:17:51 <rmccue> s/TEH/MAI/
01:20:16 <Bensawsome> rmccue CAKE IS TOO :P

01:39:54 <Gizmokid2005> hahahah. That's actually quite ingenious when you think about it.
01:40:04 <ChrisMorgan> I like it very much.
01:48:09 <NiveusLuna> i like it
02:04:04 <rmccue> If nothing happens, it shouldn't have a cursor. :P
02:04:10 <rmccue> </usability_ryan>
02:13:59 <rmccue> Silly Firefox, .rar files aren't text.
02:14:29 <Gizmokid2005> of course they are rmccue
02:14:55 <Gizmokid2005> rmccue: how DARE you question Firefox's infinitely knowledge
02:15:07 <rmccue> Then explain why it's crashing?
02:16:39 <ChrisMorgan> Blame the server which sent the wrong MIME type. Then report it on Bugzilla.
02:17:06 <rmccue> Nah.
02:17:11 <rmccue> Chrome downloads it. :P

07:17:57 <pa_4208> i is
07:18:00 <rmccue> pa_4208: Delete the folder that has the app. i.e. to uninstall Firefox Portable, delete FirefoxPortable
07:18:04 <rmccue> (the folder)
07:18:19 <pa_4208> thanks
07:18:20 <rmccue> SlowCowPC: Possibly, but it will still leave traces (Windows does that, not the apps)

07:18:49 <SlowCowPC> Ok, but nothing to slow the cow down?

19:35:33 <pa_1617> Hey how do I install portableapps to open when i plug in my jumpdrive
19:35:52 <pa_1617> do I need to format it some way?
19:36:00 <OliverK> nope
19:36:11 <OliverK> you can set the autorun.inf at the root of the drive
19:36:21 <pa_1617> how do i do that
19:36:27 <OliverK> if autorun hasn't been disabled it will work. That's about as good as it gets
19:36:32 <pa_1617> just instal the suite onto teh drive
19:36:33 <OliverK> did you you install the menu?
19:36:49 <OliverK> then autorun is disabled
19:37:08 <pa_1617> I think I installed it
19:37:22 <pa_1617> but when I plug it in it brings up the option of what to run
19:37:30 <pa_1617> like open folder
19:37:44 <pa_1617> etc
19:37:49 <pa_1617> no app starts
19:38:02 <OliverK> yeah, that's all you can get
19:38:06 <OliverK> its a windows thing
19:38:29 <pa_1617> no the suite doesnt start
19:38:43 <OliverK> ?
19:38:43 <pa_1617> just teh default thing windows shows when you plug in any jumpdrive
19:38:51 <OliverK> yeah, that's all you can get
19:38:54 <pa_1617> oh
19:38:56 <OliverK> you can't have anymore
19:39:05 <pa_1617> then you have to tell it to run portableapps
19:39:09 <OliverK> its a limitation of windows, and it was removed in windows7 i believe
19:39:10 <pa_1617> ok
19:39:22 <OliverK> well, the autorun was removed in win7
19:39:29 <pa_1617> ok
19:39:33 <OliverK> not the limitation
19:39:36 <pa_1617> that is what I am runnin

20:05:23 <OliverK> lol
20:05:35 <OliverK> pa_4557: what you got?
20:06:38 <pa_4557> i have try several apps (even video vlc) but i havent found anything to play dvd movies from a usb
20:10:14 <OliverK> hmm, well, eaht format is the video on?
20:10:21 <OliverK> what*
20:11:48 <pa_4557> i have movies in dvd, i dont have the software in my pc, so i try to put it on a usb/flash drive
20:12:02 <OliverK> oh, well, you can't just copy it over
20:12:20 <OliverK> you'll need to "backup" your dvd to something like mp4 with something like handbrake
20:12:24 <OliverK> then you can play it
20:12:34 <Gizmokid2005> actually, you can, but you have to make sure to select the Video folder and the correct .VOB file
20:12:43 <Gizmokid2005> then it should play even in Windows Media PLayer, or VLC without issues
20:12:58 <OliverK> Gizmokid2005: :O sweet :)
20:13:04 <Gizmokid2005> yep
20:13:08 <pa_4557> ok
20:13:10 <Gizmokid2005> you just have to find the correct one
20:13:14 <Gizmokid2005> there's a lot of them.
20:15:35 <pa_4557> well i found vlc, smplayer, and kmplayer.
20:16:11 <pa_4557> but nothing to play movies like nero does
20:17:39 <pa_4557> i thought of something like u suggested to make a file out of a movie but i dont think i can do it with movies like "wall-e"
20:19:22 <pa_4557> eventhought i purchase it
20:19:33 <OliverK> anydvd
20:19:38 <OliverK> I don't know, you'll have to try it
20:20:27 <pa_4557> so handbrake should convert any movie to file
