[00:47:59] <cmn32480> fuck. what a day
[00:48:17] <paulej72> yep
[00:48:47] <cmn32480> fire up my laptop at the airport... windows goes into "Startup repair"
[00:48:59] <cmn32480> as I am getting ready to get on an airplane
[00:49:01] <paulej72> it's a bomb
[00:49:26] <cmn32480> I wasn't sure it wasn't gonna be a paperweight
[00:50:17] <cmn32480> wheeee... back in NOLA... somebody kill me
[00:50:23] <cmn32480> please
[00:50:30] <paulej72> I always thougt it was funny that security checks wanted to see a laptop run to make sure it was not a bomb. Like I could not put a computer and a bomb in the same case
[00:51:49] <cmn32480> that is long past
[00:51:54] <cmn32480> now they just xray it
[00:52:03] <cmn32480> or millimeter wave it
[00:52:08] <cmn32480> or wave at it
[00:52:10] <cmn32480> or something
[00:52:23] <paulej72> I am going to make my explosives look like laptop parts
[00:52:30] <cmn32480> me thinks that was before laptops were common
[00:52:56] <cmn32480> just be sure to let me know so I go on a different flight

[00:59:00] <cmn32480> I have gotten otu of the habit of changing the time zone on it when I travel becasue it screws up calendar appts.

[01:13:31] <BadCoderFinger> Hi guys
[01:14:06] <paulej72> hola
[01:16:54] <BadCoderFinger> How are you, paulej72?
[01:17:10] <paulej72> not bad, how are you doin
[01:22:36] <BadCoderFinger> Working a hairball of code at work. It's another guy's first C++ endeavor, and it shows.
[01:22:42] <BadCoderFinger> Other than that, I'm great.
[01:23:00] <paulej72> I never had the chance to learn c and c++
[01:27:02] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, C is the only language I ever loved. C++ adds some stuff, but also adds some wacky stuff.

[01:30:26] <BadCoderFinger> Hey Spalls!
[01:30:53] * SpallsHurgenson denies everything!
[01:31:34] <BadCoderFinger> Naturally.
[01:32:09] <SpallsHurgenson> It wasn't my fault! Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
[01:34:24] <SpallsHurgenson> (I like living in the future... back in the day I'd have had to MEMORIZE movie quotes. Nowadays I don't gotta use my brain fer nuthin'! :)
[01:35:01] <BadCoderFinger> I expect there will be a day when we sell off our excess brain cycles.
[01:35:17] <SpallsHurgenson> yes but by then we won't have any :)
[01:35:28] -!- marco_trunks has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[01:35:54] <BadCoderFinger> True. I expect it will be a lot like SETI@Home used to be. I intend to use beer to skew the results, in any case.
[01:36:44] <SpallsHurgenson> seti@home is still doing its thing
[01:37:27] <SpallsHurgenson> so apparently is distributed.net (moo)
[01:37:48] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, but with BOINC. Don't worry, we'll push updates to your computer. And we promise our network won't get hacked!
[01:38:43] <SpallsHurgenson> speaking of which... that android hack, eh? wow.
[01:44:04] <SpallsHurgenson> some real microsoft-levels of incompetence there.
[01:47:06] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, no kidding.
[01:47:15] <BadCoderFinger> Never let security get in the way of profits.
[01:48:54] <SpallsHurgenson> worse, you know 99% of Android phones are never going to get a patch... because god forbid the providers update their software
[01:49:50] <SpallsHurgenson> oh well, I'm sure the FREE MARKET will take care of everything for us :)
[01:50:57] <BadCoderFinger> It's doing a great job so far.
[01:53:44] * Mutant mutates some more over in the corner
[01:54:09] <SpallsHurgenson> oooh, triple-breasted!
[01:55:34] <Mutant> I'm cursed.
[01:55:55] <SpallsHurgenson> you can't hide behind a new nick :)
[01:56:53] <SpallsHurgenson> we will always recognize your... jugginess :)
[01:57:16] <SpallsHurgenson> (unless of course you change nicks where we can't see... in which case we'll have no idea :)
[01:58:48] <Mutant> Who would have thought a momentary lapse of reason in selecting a nick would have such long lasting ramifications... well everyone but me it seems.

[02:03:20] <SpallsHurgenson> can we help it that your nick appeals to people in this channel? we all happen to like narrow-mouthed liquid containers; there's nothing wrong with that!
[02:04:25] <cmn32480|eatin> good evening
[02:04:30] cmn32480|eatin is now known as cmn32480
[02:04:34] <cmn32480> I feel better
[02:04:38] <cmn32480> full belly
[02:04:42] <cmn32480> couple beers
[02:04:44] <SpallsHurgenson> amputation is always pleasant
[02:05:03] <cmn32480> finally getting the third breast removed is he?
[02:05:42] <Mutant> Just the fourth. I'm mutating it into a weapon.
[02:05:58] <cmn32480> they are already weapons...
[02:06:07] <cmn32480> mind control weapons
[02:07:20] <Mutant> non-existent weapons but when did that stop anyone going to war?
[02:13:34] * Mutant contemplates a change of real name - imagines handing over a business card that identifies me as Impish McShaggable Blonde Tease... probably work as a sales or marketing tactic to get a foot in the door. Disappointment all round when I show up of course, but by then it's too late.
[02:13:56] <SpallsHurgenson> wow... its gonna take my pc 7.5 hours to compress this folder.
[02:14:29] <cmn32480> perhaps it is time to upgrade from that 386 SpallsHurgenson
[02:15:05] <SpallsHurgenson> but I heard arj.com doesn't work well on 486s!
[02:16:20] <cmn32480> well.. maybe we should get a smaler folder
[02:16:25] <SpallsHurgenson> on the plus side, my download will take just about as long :)
[02:18:10] <BadCoderFinger> Better sort your downloads while you're at it.

[08:28:09] <SirFinkus> crutchy, tell me how mutual funds aren't just a big scam
[08:28:21] <SirFinkus> seems like something you'd know about
[08:28:51] <crutchy> ~define mutual fund
[08:28:55] <exec> mutual fund: unable to find definition
[08:29:05] <SirFinkus> here's what it sounds like to me
[08:29:32] <SirFinkus> I give some company money, they invest my money, and charge me for the privilege
[08:29:54] <crutchy> derivatives seem like a scam, but that's prolly yesterday's news
[08:29:58] <SirFinkus> I have all of the risk because they'll get their cut no mater what
[08:30:32] <SirFinkus> I can't think of a reason someone would ever put money into that, but I want in on the scam
[08:30:32] <crutchy> oh you're talking about any sort of investment that isn't self-managed
[08:31:06] <SirFinkus> could be, I know nothing about it
[08:31:31] <crutchy> same reason why people pay accountants; they want the highest return for the lowest effort
[08:32:01] <SirFinkus> it just seems to me, if I'm giving a company money and having them invest it, they should pay me for the priviledge
[08:32:32] <crutchy> they would if they got to keep the dividends. that's called a bank
[08:32:44] <SirFinkus> that's what I mean
[08:32:51] <crutchy> except when interest rates are low, they pay you fuck all
[08:33:23] <SirFinkus> but with this shit, they just lop 2% off whatever you have invested, so there isn't really all that strong of an incentive to make good investments
[08:33:29] <crutchy> welcome to keynesianism!
[08:34:09] <SirFinkus> ok, I invested $100, and lost 6%
[08:34:51] <SirFinkus> they now get only $18.80 instead of $20
[08:35:12] <crutchy> short term; risky inflated stocks. long term; gold
[08:35:19] <SirFinkus> this is hilarious
[08:35:29] <SirFinkus> I mean, I have to be missing something... right?
[08:35:52] <crutchy> some people are just stupid, but some people are sneaky fucking chinese
[08:36:16] <crutchy> chinese pay americans to buy shit that they make
[08:36:31] <crutchy> seems like chinese lose right?
[08:37:00] <crutchy> except after half a century they basically have you guys feeding off them like a baby on a tit
[08:37:02] <SirFinkus> not if we shut down manufacturing capability
[08:37:20] <crutchy> economics is a weapon
[08:37:44] <SirFinkus> or if everyone is retarded because of lead in the baby bottles or whatever
[08:38:13] <SirFinkus> the IE market strategy it seems
[08:38:33] <SirFinkus> browser wars on a global scale, good fun
[08:38:42] <SirFinkus> I wish I knew more about it, but I can't be assed
[08:39:36] <crutchy> google peter schiff. a lot of people hang shit on him, but he knows his shit
[08:40:08] <crutchy> the people that hang shit on him are the same morons who in 2006 thought home prices could never fall
[08:40:59] <SirFinkus> lol so I just realized, lets say I gain 6% on $100, I'm sure it's structured so they get $21.20 while I've only gained $6
[08:41:05] <SirFinkus> fucking brilliant
[08:42:13] <crutchy> seems like a rort. well it is a rort, but its also risky
[08:42:42] <crutchy> eventually the banks that got bailed out are gunna go bankrupt again
[08:42:59] <crutchy> they depend on low interest rates
[08:43:03] <SirFinkus> and naw dude, the housing market is never gonna crash, everybody needs a place to live ;)
[08:43:58] <SirFinkus> keeping in mind what I said about my knowledge of economics, I think another tech crash is coming soon
[08:44:24] <crutchy> with the trillions the fed pumped into the system, there are lots of bubbles
[08:44:35] <crutchy> tech is merely one of them
[08:45:03] <SirFinkus> all these startups rising and falling remind me a lot of the .com crash
[08:45:27] <SirFinkus> lavish advertising budgets, super bowl commercials, ludicrous buyouts
[08:45:42] <SirFinkus> well, to me they seem ludicrous
[08:46:00] <SirFinkus> all this shit built on what, banner ads?
[08:46:03] <crutchy> its all artificially stimulated. not demand-driven
[08:46:25] <crutchy> and some people reckon there's no inflation :p
[08:48:41] <SirFinkus> so we're all screwed and there's not much we can do about it
[08:48:59] <SirFinkus> in a general sense
[08:50:23] <SirFinkus> but I bought a cactus today, so everything will be fine
[08:51:03] <crutchy> cactuseses are awesome
[08:52:08] <SirFinkus> apparently this one blooms in april/may
[08:53:02] <SirFinkus> http://www.cactiguide.com
[08:53:08] <crutchy> is it an irradiated species from the navada desert?
[08:53:12] <SirFinkus> I liked the way the spines grow in a spiral
[08:53:32] <SirFinkus> I know nothing about it, I had to get some bee killer and made an impulse purchase
[08:55:17] <SirFinkus> mexican apparently
[08:56:10] <SirFinkus> All have nipple-like tubercles with dimorphic areoles on the ends.
[08:56:14] <SirFinkus> hehe, nipple
[08:56:55] <SirFinkus> apparently cactus people are a little snobby
[08:57:28] <SirFinkus> " The variation in spines are a novel selling feature and often, these plants fit the stereotypical expectations that most people have for a cactus plant. Although, some species are only going to be found among highly-dedicated cactus growers." I can feel the self superiority
[08:57:48] <crutchy> here's a photo of the cactus on my front porch that i took just a moment ago: http://picpaste.com
[08:58:13] <SirFinkus> interesting, looks tentacle rapey
[08:58:41] <crutchy> dunno what sort it is
[08:59:23] <SirFinkus> http://cactiguide.com

[14:51:40] <janrinok> well, it isn't impossible to return the sites to what they once were - and I note that Dice is still talking money and not acknowledging that they got it wrong.
[14:52:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> the brands are probably still worth something - not a huge amount but I could see a business paying a few million a piece for essentially the rights to the names.
[14:54:57] <janrinok> but any business would want a return for its investment - unless of course someone like Google buys it just for the lols. But that would go against Google too.

[19:50:26] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm gonna post on it, but gonna fire up tor first...last time I shitposted there with no cover I was under attack from ARP flooding later that day, from a cisco device in New Jersey.
[19:50:44] <takyon> what the hell really
[19:50:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Just you wait, andy...if things keep going the way they're going we could buy it for 200 bucks or so.
[19:51:21] <Ethanol-fueled> and have enough left over for a bottle of champagne to celebrate the buying of the christmas present nobody wanted.
[19:51:26] <takyon> well the problem is the revenue of slashdot and sourceforge is combined
[19:51:35] <takyon> so we don't know if slashdot is gaining or losing money
[19:51:39] <takyon> or how much
[19:52:04] <takyon> I bet sourceforge gets more ad impressions than slashdot
[19:52:32] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, that makes sense...there are no trolls or outwardly disgruntled posts on Sourceforge, hahah
[19:53:23] <takyon> but it's also a site that people have linked to for downloads for years
[19:53:34] <takyon> with some projects reaching a billion downloads I think
[19:53:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, a lot of really popular ones like VLC
[19:54:03] <Ethanol-fueled> And notepad++
[19:56:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> vlc++
[19:56:40] <Bender> karma - vlc: 6
[19:56:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> it's the swiss army knife of media players
[19:57:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> it's never the *best* thing to play any particular kind of media, but it *will* play damn near anything you throw at it.
[19:58:13] <takyon> idk it has made big strides in recent years
[19:58:27] <takyon> I almost never have to go to Media Player Classic or Windows Media
[19:59:08] <Ethanol-fueled> Yup, VLC also has some pretty good video conversion ability
[19:59:12] <Ethanol-fueled> format conversion
[19:59:20] <takyon> I like handbrake better
[19:59:23] <takyon> easier to figure out
[19:59:38] <takyon> went full retard trying to use VLC for the same stuff
[19:59:50] <takyon> I think I will just breach editorial ethics and post the Intel Micron 3D XPoint story
[20:00:02] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, why would you beach ethics?
[20:00:11] <takyon> 1. it's breaking news
[20:00:18] <takyon> 2. it's fun to breach ethics
[20:01:30] <takyon> 3. the Cosby story is crap
[20:01:32] <Ethanol-fueled> I'd wait for the slashdot/sourceforce discussion to reach maturity first.
[20:01:46] <takyon> "reach maturity" ohohohohoho
[20:01:55] <takyon> yeah sure I'll wait
[20:02:20] <Ethanol-fueled> sounds like the intel/micron thing is "we're invented a flying car*!!!!!!!!!!" * (that won't be ready until the year 2030)
[20:02:22] <takyon> 23:45 UTC looks like a good spot
[20:02:57] <takyon> nah they aren't shitting around. It will be sampling this year, delivered next year.
[20:03:14] <takyon> they have also made some sneaky moves to get the world ready for this, according to Tom's...
[20:03:31] <takyon> "There were some early signs that Intel and Micron were going to shake up both the memory and storage market when Intel introduced commands for persistent memory, CLWB and PCOMMIT, last November."
[20:03:51] <takyon> "Intel indicated the new memory would connect to the host system via the PCIe bus, which is yet another reason that Intel and Micron have been vocal proponents of NVMe. The NVMe protocol was designed from the ground up for non-volatile memory technologies, and not NAND in particular. Now it is apparent that Intel and Micron were laying the groundwork for something more as they developed the new protocol."
[20:05:17] <takyon> from what I can tell it will be maybe 10x the price of flash... so maybe $40-50 for the 16 GB chip. about half the price of DRAM.
[20:06:05] <takyon> they say it isn't a NAND killer, which I can believe, but they also say it isn't a DRAM killer, which is a bit harder to believe... it is slower than DRAM, but not by much. and it is much denser than DRAM.
[20:07:31] <Ethanol-fueled> can you save me the trouble of reading and answer this question - would I be able to go buy a chunk and just slap it in the pciE slot of my existing Dell box, or would it require a motherboard replacement?
[20:07:50] * Ethanol-fueled is a lazy fuck today
[20:08:35] <takyon> I think yes, but it's tough to say. Both Intel and Micron will be making products that they say will be out in 2016, and won't be licensing to anybody else
[20:16:37] <Ethanol-fueled> Allright. Gonna split now. May be back on later.
