[00:03:18] <takyon> the big list of symbols is hidden by default by the way
[00:07:55] <SirFinkus> neat
[00:11:11] <takyon> The complete list of things it does for commenting.. Buttons that add tags around selected text: blockquote, bold, italic, strikethrough, "ecode", superscript and subscript. The URL button will prompt you to paste a link and then add that around the selected text. The ordered and unordered list buttons make a list from a newline separated text or prompt you to add list items using dialog boxes. The "Despace" button removes all line breaks and d
[00:11:11] <takyon> selection. ":-)" brings up a list of extended latin, other unicode characters, some of the dreaded emojis, and a couple of longer smilies. If you are not in Plain Old Text mode, the paragraph and line break (BR) buttons appear.

[00:27:15] <takyon> thank gawd for unicode
[00:27:17] <paulej72> takyon: is that a greasemonky script
[00:27:33] <takyon> yes. I'm using Tampermonkey on Chrome to test it
[00:28:19] <takyon> It could be a user.js extension, but I think all browsers have removed support for "unauthorized extensions"
[00:29:17] <paulej72> it should be relatively easy to adapt to js. probably would be standard on admin pages, but have it as an option for comments
[00:30:10] <paulej72> our improved threaded comments was a greasemonky script at one point
[00:30:18] <takyon> Well it needs some testing first, but if you like it, you can have it
[00:30:35] <takyon> I suggest installing it and sending me complaints

[00:43:05] * SirFinkus highly recommends A Canticle for Leibowitz
[00:45:43] <SpallsHurgenson> Cherryh's "Devil to the Belt" is good too

[00:55:08] <SpallsHurgenson> <sigh> and here I have the oh-so-modern options of a decaying 3Mbps ADSL network and a whopping 7Mbps capped cable network...
[00:55:17] <SpallsHurgenson> ...'Merica, gotta love it
[00:56:05] <takyon> got an ISP cap raise recently
[00:56:20] <takyon> netflix must be pushing use up
[00:57:26] <kadal> SirFinkus: That book looks interesting. It's now marked in bold on the list.
[00:57:59] <kadal> (I'm following the NPR top 100 SF Fantasy list - http://www.npr.org

[00:59:10] <Scruffy> ^ 03Want to be the hottest thing since Melrose Place? Get these Lycos patents • The Register
[00:59:29] <SpallsHurgenson> The Princess Bride? Why is that on the list? a) its not sci-fi and b) its really not that good (the movie was far better)
[01:00:59] <SpallsHurgenson> and any list that includes the Xanth series is instantly discredited
[01:01:38] <kadal> hahaha. It's a reader-poll-list.
[01:01:40] <SirFinkus> one of my favorite books kadal, it's not strictly sci-fi
[01:02:02] <SirFinkus> well, I suppose it is I guess, but I wouldn't put it under that
[01:02:04] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, no wonder it reads like a "books I've heard of" list rather than "books that are actually good" :)
[01:02:39] <takyon> H2G2 is an important read
[01:02:50] <kadal> SpallsHurgenson: There were enough that I had heard of multiple times, so I figured most suggestions on there must be good.
[01:03:12] <kadal> ah, yes. H2G2 is amazing. I've been meaning to watch the movie again. I really like Marvin.
[01:03:19] <takyon> Frankenstein ain't bad either if you've never read it
[01:03:30] <kadal> H2G2 movie was very average otherwise
[01:03:36] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, some on the list are worthy. Others are just popular tripe
[01:03:46] <takyon> H2G2 has so many media incarnations though
[01:03:58] <takyon> radio adaptation, early PC games, movies, miniseries, etc.
[01:04:08] <kadal> takyon, the Stephen Fry audiobook was really hilarious, though he only did the first one.
[01:05:19] <takyon> wow Codex Alera but no Dresden Files
[01:06:04] <SpallsHurgenson> no Niven, no LeGuin, no Simmons, no Stanislaw...
[01:06:55] <SpallsHurgenson> erm, Stanislaw Lem :)
[01:07:20] <kadal> well ringworld's on there
[01:07:32] <kadal> two leguin books too. I haven't read them yet.
[01:07:32] <SpallsHurgenson> okay, one Niven. No Pournelle :)
[01:08:14] <kadal> two clarkes.
[01:08:20] <SpallsHurgenson> okay, LeGuin. no Wolfe :)
[01:08:43] <kadal> don't know Pournelle or Wolfe
[01:08:44] <SpallsHurgenson> they have a hard-on for Stephenson too
[01:09:01] <takyon> it's a popularity contest
[01:09:21] <kadal> Yeah, he's alright. I liked Quicksilver way more than cryptonomicon
[01:09:38] <kadal> oh there's "Book of the New Sun"
[01:10:05] <SpallsHurgenson> stop using facts to disprove my complaining!
[01:10:18] <kadal> heh
[01:10:49] <kadal> ok last one - "Lucifer's Hammer, by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle"
[01:11:26] <SpallsHurgenson> no Delany, no Zimmer Bradley (no wait, that's a good thing), no Cherryh, no Bester, not enough Asimov and Clarke (there's never enough Asimov and Clarke :)
[01:11:49] <kadal> I really only read Clarke and a little Asimov growing up. Big fan of both of them. Read a whole lot of the dystopian novels at one go though.
[01:12:10] <kadal> Clarke is so great. I visit his office/study when I was in Colombo.
[01:12:14] <kadal> SO COOL!
[01:12:37] <SpallsHurgenson> no Andre Norton, the Grande Dame of Sci-Fi?

[01:15:19] <kadal> Hah. You're a big SF fan, I see. I haven't heard of most of these people.
[01:15:46] <SpallsHurgenson> god good, they put Xanth in there put no Lovecraft?!?!?
[01:16:19] <kadal> Yikes, that's a big oversight.
[01:17:00] <SpallsHurgenson> no Burroughs or EE Doc Smith!

[01:21:33] <exec> chavspeak: unable to find definition
[01:21:41] <takyon> yeah I coined that one just now
[01:21:55] <takyon> I'm just shocked that we're talking about millions of chromebook sales
[01:22:07] <takyon> I remember thinking "ChromeOS and Android? Pick one!"
[01:22:20] <SpallsHurgenson> is chromeos really considered secure? and is it really secure if it leaks all your info to google?
[01:23:21] <takyon> is anything considered secure?
[01:23:23] <kadal> ChromeOS is irritating.
[01:23:36] <kadal> Doesn't allow you to do much except browse the web.
[01:23:45] <kadal> which, to be honest, is what it's designed for.
[01:23:57] <SpallsHurgenson> I have to admit, I've never used ChromeOS
[01:24:12] <takyon> well I like the idea of HTML5 apps in theory
[01:24:12] <kadal> i played around with a friend's prototype once.
[01:24:15] <kadal> got a little boring
[01:24:34] <SpallsHurgenson> I probably should gain familiarity with it... but honestly Google is getting really creepy and I'm trying to distance myself from them
[01:25:43] <takyon> it's tough to sell cheap laptops next to cheaper tablets. would rather get a higher performance and better res laptop
[01:25:52] <takyon> ...not a Chromebook Pixel though
[01:28:38] <kadal> Yeah, it's a little hard to distance oneself from Google, especially when all your friends are using it.
[01:28:51] <SpallsHurgenson> 11" laptops are down to $200 bucks... its not hard to find a decent 'n' cheap computer these days
[01:29:14] <takyon> those things are too slow for my taste. and 1366x768 is getting real old
[01:29:31] <kadal> yeah the resolution is what sucks.
[01:29:49] <takyon> they have the panels and they are going to sell them until they run out
[01:29:52] <SpallsHurgenson> well, I wouldn't use it for a primary PC but its far better to carry around and work on than a tablet
[01:30:03] <kadal> It's what I like (and hate) about Apple: they do good resolution and good touchpads.
[01:30:28] <kadal> I wish more PCs paid attention to resolution and touchpads.
[01:30:33] <takyon> I want the Skylake
[01:30:38] <SpallsHurgenson> "good" and "touchpad" do not belong in the same sentence :)
[01:31:36] <kadal> SpallsHurgenson: You a "nipple" guy?
[01:31:38] <SpallsHurgenson> give me a proper mouse or - barring that - one of those pointing sticks that IBM laptops used to have :)
[01:31:47] <takyon> logitech
[01:32:11] <kadal> I like the one finger scrolling though. It's what I use the damn thing for mostly
[01:32:38] <takyon> hopefully Skylake boosts CPU performance by 10%, GPU by some amount, and cuts power by 20%. Also I hear that Intel is pushing for all/many Skylake laptops to come with wireless charging
[01:32:55] <kadal> sounds expensive
[01:33:43] <takyon> i dunno. wireless charging has been around for a while for phones.
[01:35:04] <SirFinkus> Apple makes good touchpads
[01:35:26] <SirFinkus> good enough that I only plug in a mouse if I'm gaming
[01:35:33] * SpallsHurgenson swats SirFinkus on the nose with a rolled up newspaper "What did I say about using those two words together?"
[01:35:39] <kadal> and nice screens
[01:35:49] <SirFinkus> have you used one SpallsHurgenson? I was skeptical too
[01:36:19] <kadal> i'm on 1600x900 now. I feel conscious any time I use my gf's macbook pro. 25xx by something pixels
[01:36:32] <SpallsHurgenson> I hate the PLACEMENT of most touchpads. that's where my palm rests when I type!
[01:36:58] <SirFinkus> solved in software, I've never had my mouse move or click while typing
[01:37:05] <SirFinkus> idk how they do it, but it doesn't happen
[01:37:41] <takyon> 1600x900, aka HD+
[01:37:57] <SirFinkus> screen resolutions are garbage on most laptops
[01:37:59] <SirFinkus> and monitors
[01:38:09] <SirFinkus> glad Apple pushed that forward a bit
[01:38:11] <SpallsHurgenson> high resolution is increasingly less important to me as I get older and blinder :)
[01:38:22] * SirFinkus wants the PPI
[01:38:28] <takyon> yeah give Apple credit for pushing 5K
[01:38:29] <kadal> I don't know. Things are so much cripser on macbooks. A lot easier to read.
[01:38:30] <SpallsHurgenson> I can't see the pixels anymore anyway :)
[01:38:40] <SirFinkus> I'll never go below 150 PPI again
[01:39:35] <takyon> 3840x2160 and 5120x2880 laptops can be found, but we are definitely behind predictions of the death of 1366x768
[01:40:25] <takyon> and now flagship phones are expected to come with 2560x1440, adding more insult to injury
[01:40:39] <SirFinkus> the phone thing is stupid
[01:40:58] <SirFinkus> we're well past the point of diminishing returns on the flagships
[01:41:07] <SirFinkus> and just wasting battery life
[01:41:07] <takyon> it's just cheaper to make a smaller high-res display
[01:41:35] <SirFinkus> also: who makes a 5120x2880 laptop?
[01:41:38] <takyon> plus those same screens are usable for VR... especially if your VR is Cardboard or Gear VR
[01:41:47] <takyon> I think it's Apple and maybe Dell
[01:41:50] * SirFinkus has a laptop that is 2880x1800
[01:42:02] <SirFinkus> I think that's only for the new imacs
[01:42:08] <SirFinkus> and a dell monitor

[01:42:19] <Scruffy> ^ 03Apple Releases iMac With 5K Display, 15-Inch MacBook Pro With AMD R9 M370X
[01:42:28] <takyon> yeah I think I confused it with iMac. too bad
[01:43:01] <takyon> so 3840x2160 is the top laptop resolution
[01:43:02] <SirFinkus> I want one of those too, pity about the GPU
[01:43:27] <kadal> apple and amd?!
[01:44:04] <takyon> what are you trying to say
[01:44:18] <kadal> oh just the graphics. I thought they were using AMD processors too.
[01:44:30] <takyon> naw Apple aren't that dumb
[01:44:56] <kadal> hah
[01:46:50] <SirFinkus> that the gpu isn't good enough for gaming stuff
[01:47:03] <SirFinkus> which probably doesn't matter much to most people, but I'd like it
[01:48:12] <takyon> from what I know newer GPUs are handling games very well... since PC games have broader quality settings and the industry is held back by consoles
[01:49:24] <SpallsHurgenson> I love package tracking. remember when we used to order things and had to guess when they might arrive?
[01:50:02] <kadal> Well, now you guess at what time the guy's going to turn up with the package...
[01:51:07] <takyon> and in what condition it arrives

[12:33:05] <crutchy> most atm's here cost minimum $2 per transaction. its a rort
[12:42:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> Paypass is MasterCard's touchless thing, isn't it?
[12:44:54] <crutchy> visa
[12:44:57] <crutchy> but yeah
[12:45:34] <crutchy> actually i dunno who owns it. they prolly both have an rfid system thats compatible with each other
[12:46:45] * crutchy just had a squiz at his visa card and noticed it had 'paywave' on it
[12:47:45] <crutchy> lmao i can see why this was modded +5 informative... it links to a whole bunch of gems :D

[12:54:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yeah, payWave is Visa's (and yes, they insist that you capitalize it that way) and PayPass is MasterCard's. I don't think Discover or American Express ever gave a name to their versions of the RFID+EMV thing, but if they did, they'd be equally stupid.
[12:54:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> They should just call it "I'm going to send my credit card number through unencrypted radio waves so won't you please steal it" because that's what it amounts to.
[12:56:10] * AndyTheAbsurd used to work in the credit card industry
[12:56:34] <crutchy> i keep mine between a couple of layers of alfoil in my wallet. not sure it does much but it helps me sleep at night
[12:57:01] <crutchy> i just assume that banking is generally insecure but as long as i play by the rules if something fucks up i can blame the bank
[12:58:18] <crutchy> identity theft is nasty, but i dunno how we can really protect ourselves from that in this day and age beyond not being a clitoris on faceboob
[12:59:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> I don't even let facebork know my e-mail address
[12:59:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> they have my phone number and that's bad enough
[12:59:39] <crutchy> i never gave them anything except an anon hotmail address
[12:59:59] <crutchy> but i deactivated my facebook profile a couple of years ago
[13:00:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> I signed up from my phone and I use it for two-factor authentication with them
[13:00:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> so I kind of need them to have it if I want to access faceb0rk
[13:00:42] <crutchy> never even bothered to join twatter or any of the other thingys except linkedin cos work was kinda into it
[13:01:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> which I usually don't but it seems like everyone ELSE is on facebook so it ends up being where a lot of interesting things happen.
