9:53:07 PM John Wittle: i realized that i have no install CD's to boot an operating system off of while partitioning my HD
9:53:24 PM Codie: Does it have to be OS X?
9:53:26 PM John Wittle: if i try to partition it, then i will erase the operating system that i'm running off of while partitioning
9:53:34 PM Codie: Or can you boot from the Windows DOS
9:53:40 PM Codie: Duh
9:53:40 PM Codie: xD
9:53:50 PM John Wittle: the obvious solution is to boot from an external hard drive
9:54:02 PM John Wittle: so now i'm just copying a 8 gig OS over to an ehd
9:54:02 PM John Wittle: lol
9:54:12 PM Codie: Not how I would do it
9:54:25 PM John Wittle: I don't know unix well enough to boot from a command prompt
9:54:27 PM Codie: I would think that now would be the perfect time to transition to leopard
9:54:32 PM John Wittle: lol duh
9:54:39 PM John Wittle: that's the OS that i'm copying over
9:54:50 PM Codie: Nice
9:54:56 PM Codie: Give me a review once you use it.
9:54:56 PM Codie: Wait
9:54:58 PM John Wittle: I will
9:54:59 PM Codie: What the fuck
9:55:01 PM Codie: that's stupid
9:55:03 PM John Wittle: what?
9:55:06 PM Codie: Burn it to a disk
9:55:09 PM Codie: Boot from disk
9:55:12 PM Codie: partition and install
9:55:13 PM John Wittle: a DVD
9:55:19 PM Codie: Still a disk
9:55:20 PM John Wittle: I don't have any spare DVD-RW's lying around
9:55:26 PM Codie: Boom
9:55:28 PM Codie: like
9:55:31 PM Codie: a dollar at BB
9:55:33 PM John Wittle: lol
9:55:39 PM John Wittle: this transfer will be done in about 10 min
9:55:41 PM John Wittle: and then i can boot from it
9:55:42 PM John Wittle: durrr
9:55:44 PM Codie: But
9:55:53 PM Codie: How are you going to install Leopard?
9:55:56 PM Codie: You'll boot from it
9:55:56 PM Codie: and
9:55:57 PM Codie: you realize
9:55:59 PM John Wittle: nope
9:56:02 PM Codie: when you partition that hard drive
9:56:03 PM John Wittle: i'll use it
9:56:08 PM John Wittle: to partition my internal hard drive
9:56:09 PM Codie: It's not going to work untill you format it.
9:56:12 PM John Wittle: and then carbon copy clone it over
9:56:24 PM Codie: You can't partition
9:56:29 PM Codie: it renders everything useless
9:56:31 PM Codie: and misplaced
9:56:37 PM John Wittle: Dude
9:56:37 PM Codie: Therefore when you partition, or delete a partition
9:56:41 PM John Wittle: I'm wiping my HD
9:56:43 PM John Wittle: you realize that, right?
9:56:47 PM John Wittle: That's the primary purpose in doing this
9:56:48 PM Codie: you best plan on formatting in the near future
9:56:54 PM John Wittle: I have too much illegal shit on my HD right now
9:57:06 PM John Wittle: and it's either repartition and overwrite each individual byte on my hd
9:57:12 PM John Wittle: or drive a spike through it
9:57:19 PM Codie: Meh
9:57:20 PM John Wittle: so what i'm doing
9:57:23 PM Codie: Is formatting
9:57:29 PM John Wittle: partitioning requires formatting
9:57:36 PM John Wittle: it's literally implied
9:57:40 PM John Wittle: when you say "partition"
9:57:55 PM John Wittle: to repartition a HD, it's required that you also destroy all data on that HD
9:58:04 PM Codie: My point exactly
9:58:09 PM Codie: but if you're formatting
9:58:12 PM Codie: and installing a new OS
9:58:17 PM Codie: Then why even bother with partitions?
9:58:24 PM Codie: Just whipe and use your HD as a whole
9:58:27 PM John Wittle: No
9:58:29 PM Codie: Partitions fuck everything up.
9:58:35 PM John Wittle: Dude
9:58:43 PM John Wittle: The most basic principle that any geek should live by
9:58:52 PM John Wittle: is "Keep your fucking operating system separate from your fucking porn"
9:58:57 PM John Wittle: "AS FAR AS WAY AS POSSIBLE"
9:59:08 PM John Wittle: I had a 4,000 computer lose a hard drive
9:59:14 PM John Wittle: because I filled it up
9:59:21 PM John Wittle: and if you fill up a HD
9:59:24 PM John Wittle: that the OS is on
9:59:31 PM John Wittle: the hard drive is UNUSABLE.
9:59:33 PM John Wittle: There's no way to wipe it.
9:59:38 PM John Wittle: that's what causes hard drive failures.
9:59:48 PM Codie: THATS WHY
9:59:50 PM Codie: YOU DONT FILL THAT SHIT
9:59:51 PM Codie: xD
9:59:54 PM John Wittle: lol
10:00:00 PM John Wittle: in any case, there's no reason why I shouldn't set aside 20 gigs to my OS
10:00:00 PM Codie: Filling an OS drive
10:00:05 PM Codie: is like laying a magnet on top of it
10:00:09 PM Codie: it's asking for trouble.
10:00:10 PM John Wittle: exactly dude
10:00:13 PM John Wittle: so I set aside 20 gigs for my OS
10:00:21 PM John Wittle: that's one partition, named gofg_osx
10:00:21 PM Codie: That's fucking retarded.
10:00:28 PM Codie: Windows = Less than a GB
10:00:31 PM John Wittle: Rofl
10:00:37 PM Codie: So is leopard
10:00:43 PM John Wittle: Vista, with no extra shit, is 16 gigs
10:00:44 PM Codie: 20 gigs is way too much fucking space.
10:00:46 PM John Wittle: Leopard is 9 gigs
10:00:49 PM Codie: FUCK VISTA
10:00:50 PM Codie: NO
10:00:51 PM John Wittle: 20 gigs is NOTHING
10:00:52 PM Codie: YOU SHUT THE FUCK IT
10:00:54 PM Codie: UP
10:00:58 PM John Wittle: I shut the fuck it up.
10:01:02 PM Codie: YOU DO NOT CALL VISTA, WINDOWS
10:01:08 PM Codie: VISTA
10:01:10 PM Codie: IS FAILURE
10:01:13 PM Codie: SIMPLE
10:01:22 PM Codie: It's not good enough to be called a Windows product
10:01:36 PM Codie: Which is saying a lot considering most things Microsoft related sucks.
10:01:51 PM John Wittle: Right now
10:02:05 PM John Wittle: My OSX partition, which is a barebones OS with no applications, just the things that are necessary for an OS to run
10:02:07 PM John Wittle: is 14 gigs.
10:02:25 PM Codie: Meh
10:02:28 PM Codie: xD
10:02:33 PM Codie: Laptop = No partitions.
10:02:36 PM John Wittle: rofl
10:02:41 PM John Wittle: laptop = VERY partitions.
10:02:48 PM John Wittle: My laptop has a 98 GB hard drive
10:02:50 PM John Wittle: that is like NOTHING
10:02:51 PM Codie: 7 GB partition on my PC
10:03:03 PM John Wittle: I VERY MUCH NEED to make sure that my OS has enough room to breath
10:03:16 PM John Wittle: especially with my fucking huge porn collection
10:03:18 PM Codie: NO YOU DONT
10:03:29 PM Codie: YOU SUFFOCATE IT WITH USELESS NICK-NACKS LIKE AIM AND LIMEWIRE
10:03:34 PM Codie: THATS WHAT EVERYONE DOES JOHN
10:03:37 PM Codie: JOIN THE CROUD
10:03:38 PM Codie: xD
10:03:50 PM John Wittle: I made my last computer last from 1997 to 2004 before anything bad happened to it
10:03:57 PM John Wittle: Before ANYTHING about it went bad
10:04:02 PM John Wittle: and the first thing to go was the keyboard
10:04:07 PM John Wittle: do you understand the significance of that?
10:04:11 PM Codie: Yes
10:04:17 PM John Wittle: A computer staying in perfect condition for 7 years?
10:04:28 PM John Wittle: Maybe i'm paranoid
10:04:36 PM John Wittle: but I have a 1 TB external hard drive right here.
10:04:43 PM Codie: You're not paranoid
10:04:47 PM John Wittle: I have an infinite amount of space as far as I'm concerned.
10:04:47 PM Codie: I know it makes a hell of a difference
10:04:49 PM Codie: It's just
10:04:54 PM Codie: when you have an 80GB HD
10:04:58 PM Codie: you squeeze it to the max
10:05:00 PM John Wittle: I can afford to give 20 gigs to my operating system, which is the most important part of my computer.
10:05:03 PM Codie: and partitions is NOT something you can afford.
10:05:04 PM Codie: xD
10:05:07 PM John Wittle: lol
10:05:08 PM John Wittle: eh
10:05:13 PM John Wittle: I'm not talking about like
10:05:29 PM John Wittle: a partition for music, a partition for porn, a partition for games, a partition for apps, a free partition, a partition for osx, a partition for osx backups, etc
10:05:38 PM John Wittle: all i'm talking about is gofg_osx and gofg_home
10:06:21 PM Codie: FUCK YOU
10:06:27 PM Codie: YOU DISCRACE YOUR COUNTRY
10:06:27 PM John Wittle: lol
10:06:35 PM Codie: THATS TOO MANY FUCKING PARTITIONS
10:06:42 PM Codie: ITS A HARD DRIVE
10:06:44 PM Codie: NOT A PIE CHART
10:06:51 PM John Wittle: lol kk fine
10:06:54 PM John Wittle: i won't partition it
10:06:57 PM Codie: 1 Partition.
10:06:59 PM Codie: OS
10:07:04 PM Codie: No backups
10:07:06 PM Codie: no music
10:07:08 PM Codie: no pr0n
10:07:11 PM Codie: none of that bullshit.
10:07:13 PM Codie: I have to say,
10:07:18 PM Codie: No partitions on my laptop
10:07:22 PM Codie: and partition my desktop
10:07:28 PM Codie: my desktop is a hell of a lot smoother
10:07:39 PM John Wittle: that's because it's a desk top
10:08:18 PM Codie: FUCK YOU
10:08:19 PM Codie: -smack-
