[00:40:07] <SpallsHurgenson> its too quiet here. I think I'll liven things up by telling an amusing anecdote
[00:40:39] * cmn32480 plugs his ears
[00:45:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> $burrito SpallsHurgenson
[00:45:35] * aqu4 chucks a nasty, rotten burrito at SpallsHurgenson
[00:46:07] <SpallsHurgenson> I feel my efforst are not being appreciated
[00:49:22] -!- SoyCow5803 [SoyCow5803!~4ac2aff2@88-358-384-456.gtwncmta22.res.dyn.suddenlink.net] has joined #Soylent
[00:49:26] <cmn32480> $burrito SpallsHurgenson
[00:49:26] * aqu4 chucks a nasty, rotten burrito at SpallsHurgenson
[00:49:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> well, I just got use slashdot/soylentnews as a parallel example for why people who don't like reddit should go to voat.co
[00:49:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> so that's my anecdote for the night.
[00:49:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> or morning, or afternoon, depending on your time zone.
[00:50:07] <SpallsHurgenson> but if I don't like reddit why would I want to use voat?
[00:50:47] <cmn32480> us a bit further AndyTheAbsurd? perhaps a link?
[00:51:14] <AndyTheAbsurd> cmn32480: can't link it, it happened in IRC on Freenode.
[00:51:23] <cmn32480> well then
[00:51:48] <cmn32480> I guess we will just have to imagine the whole process....
[00:51:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> SpallsHurgenson: clearly you wouldn't. But if you used to like slashdot, and didn't like what the editors and owners have done with it, what would you do?
[00:52:02] <cmn32480> bitch.
[00:52:04] <cmn32480> complain
[00:52:09] <cmn32480> slashcott
[00:52:12] <SpallsHurgenson> buy it from dice for $20 mill?
[00:52:28] <cmn32480> find a guy who played with slash one time
[00:52:33] <cmn32480> and start over
[00:53:09] <AndyTheAbsurd> give me a minute and I'll paste the relevant section into a pastebin...
[00:53:27] <cmn32480> ok
[00:53:31] <AndyTheAbsurd> anybody know one off hand where I can set an expiration timer for like 60 minutes?
[00:53:32] <cmn32480> it's Ok
[00:53:40] <cmn32480> don't worry
[00:53:43] <cmn32480> we believe you
[00:53:54] <cmn32480> since it is, after all, a valid comparison
[00:54:26] <SpallsHurgenson> google has a timer
[00:54:35] <SpallsHurgenson> just search for timers :)
[00:54:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> oh, pastebin.com itself has a timer. And I can set it to "unlisted" as well.
[00:55:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> http://pastebin.com
[00:55:53] <exec> └─ 13[00:20:18] <+AndyTheAbsurd> oh look, reddit ban more subs: http://boingboing.net - Pastebin.com
[01:00:22] <SoyCow5803> Womyn-hating HVAC installers? Really? Oh well, time to find some source for news that isn't chasing clicks. Be sure to wave at the shark as you sail over it, it'll only happen once.
[01:00:32] -!- SoyCow5803 [SoyCow5803!~4ac2aff2@88-358-384-456.gtwncmta22.res.dyn.suddenlink.net] has parted #Soylent
[01:01:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> well...that SoyCow wasn't even particularly entertaining.
[01:01:04] <cmn32480> WTF was that???
[01:02:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> someone who felt so strongly that the "Your Office Thermostat is Set for Men's Comfort. Here's the Scientific Proof." was misandrist that he had to come in here and tell us about it.
[01:02:24] <SpallsHurgenson> I must have missed that
[01:02:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> there were a couple of ACs commenting along those lines when I checked on the story earlier today.
[01:03:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> basically just another social injustice warrior doing his part to maintain the status quo.
[01:03:29] <SpallsHurgenson> it is a pretty clickbait headline
[01:06:09] <cmn32480> edited to story?
[01:06:18] <cmn32480> *who edited the story?
[01:07:03] <cmn32480> oh
[01:07:06] <cmn32480> twas me
[01:09:02] <cmn32480> sorry... shoudl have edited that headline
[01:09:24] <SpallsHurgenson> to be fair, the original article and study was clickbaity too
[01:11:12] <cmn32480> subs have been pretty limited lately.
[01:11:21] <cmn32480> we are making due with what we got some days.
[01:11:38] <cmn32480> and at least it wasn't a Warren Beatty headline
[01:45:40] * SpallsHurgenson renews his toilet reading for another two years
[01:50:19] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Physicist Unveils Plan for Entangling Massive Objects - http://sylnt.us - for-certain-values-of-massive
[01:53:29] <SpallsHurgenson> why does that headline make me envision a bunch of patent-trolls trying to get a patent on netting
[02:30:42] * SpallsHurgenson sings quietly to himself
[02:31:26] <cmn32480> whatcha singing?
[02:31:30] <cmn32480> good lullabye?
[02:32:02] <cmn32480> I am going to ask a supremely stupid question
[02:32:04] <SpallsHurgenson> na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, good bye!
[02:32:36] <cmn32480> you do this whole new-fangled Linux thing SpallsHurgenson?
[02:33:02] <SpallsHurgenson> I've been known to dabble
[02:33:09] <cmn32480> excellent
[02:33:17] <cmn32480> I've been known to know jack squat
[02:33:27] <cmn32480> while living in a van down by the river
[02:34:11] <cmn32480> if installing Ubuntu as a first playtime thing, shoudl I be looking at the desktop or server version?
[02:34:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> desktop
[02:34:46] * cmn32480 is a complete noob
[02:34:59] * SpallsHurgenson recommends Windows 3.1
[02:35:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> server doesn't come with a gui unless you install it yourself
[02:35:18] * cmn32480 sighs heavily and continues the conversation wiht TheMightyBuzzard
[02:35:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> !quote 380
[02:35:32] <Bender> Quote 380 - <SpallsHurgenson> just because I don't wear pants doesn't mean I'm naked
[02:36:06] * cmn32480 is scared that The Buzzard knows the quote number by heart
[02:36:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> !quote 275
[02:36:17] <Bender> Quote 275 - <crutchy> paulej72 is the butt
[02:36:48] <cmn32480> ok. Desktop it is. Many Thanks TheMightyBuzzard
[02:36:49] <SpallsHurgenson> well, its a choice between windows 3.1 and windows 10, the choice is obvious
[02:36:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[02:37:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, obviously. windows 10 it is. can't watch h264 pr0n streams on 3.1.
[02:37:37] <cmn32480> v14.04.2 LTS?
[02:37:56] <cmn32480> you saw it as obvious for that reason too?
[02:38:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... yeah, LTS is a good way to start out.
[02:38:41] <cmn32480> please, pardon my lack of knowledge... version is year.month, correct?
[02:38:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep
[02:38:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> and that's the latest LTS, so you're good there.
[02:39:31] <cmn32480> I checked that before I asked.
[02:39:43] <cmn32480> at least some small portion of my brain is still functional
[02:39:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> plus it's what we use on the servers for the site if you're feelin froggy at some later point.
[02:40:19] <cmn32480> whoa.... let's not put the cart in front of the horse!
[02:41:20] <cmn32480> let me get it installed and kinda running first... then we can talk about kicking the systems team to the curb... 5 or 10 years from now
[02:41:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar, sounds good but if you really get distracted by it you can be sysadmin material in a year or so.
[02:42:46] <cmn32480> in all truth, there is one particular project that I am going to need it for, but I am hoping to turn that business need into a new skill for the resume
[02:42:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> you installing dual boot or got a box just for linux?
[02:42:57] <cmn32480> Virtual
[02:43:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> good good. safer. much harder to hose a working drive.
[02:43:46] <cmn32480> right now I don't have the time/gumption/excess hardware to put it on bare metal
[02:43:49] <SpallsHurgenson> consider it a challenge :)
[02:43:58] <cmn32480> channlenge declined!
[02:44:16] <cmn32480> you can take your glove and go whizz in it
[02:44:42] * TheMightyBuzzard sings *Glove slap, I don't take crap*
[02:45:08] <cmn32480> hehehe... I loved that episode
[02:46:26] <cmn32480> I am fairly certain that when (not if) I run into questions people will be here to help
[02:46:40] <cmn32480> I think of it as a test of my google-fu
[02:47:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> possibly. there's always the chance i'll be fishing though.
[02:48:00] <cmn32480> that is a pretty high probability
[02:48:13] <cmn32480> but there are plenty of others. even some who only dabble
[02:48:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you can find NC, he's our resident uber guru.
[02:49:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> but mostly just plain old google will get you the hookup
[02:50:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> bleh, looks like i'll be around tomorrow. 50% chance of thunderstorms in the mornin.
[02:51:03] <cmn32480> yeah... I know his history w/ Canonical
[02:51:32] <cmn32480> I shall endeavor to google my way through it.
[02:51:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> well that and he's just plain good. i'm wicked smart and can google what i don't know already but he got skillz what put mine to shame.
[02:53:51] <cmn32480> no doubt. but I learn better by figuringit out myself, and ask for help once I'm stumped.
[02:54:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> cuss a lot first. it's mandatory if you really wanna improve your skills.
[02:56:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> behold, i am become Buzzard, derailer of conversations
[02:57:41] <SpallsHurgenson> you gotta get used to lots of little things being different for no apparent reasons too. which may be one of the chief causes of the cussing
[02:58:17] <SpallsHurgenson> and worse, you'll suddenly start having an opinion about systemd.

[04:43:11] <Deucalion> Anyone needs me... I'll be over there in deep stasis, sound asleep. Feel free to rapid defrost me, in a microwave if need be, just don't confuse me for food.....that's all I'd ask... keep your forks away... not much to ask is it it? Evil forks... worse than crows.... crows who like to eat potato... evil bastards crows. Trivia for the day - a group of crows gathered has been known as a "Murder of Crows" for centuries - of course not because they
[04:43:12] <Deucalion> pecked people to death, more likely they swarmed grain fields in flocks right after sowing, decimating the harvest and thus in turn indirectly causing grain shortages.
[04:50:09] <Deucalion> Of course my current predicament has no bearing on the above. But if someone could come rescue me from this basket and the Corvidae sharp beaked winged thing intent on killing me by eating my potato, we may be able to finally get on with some more test chambers :D

[11:30:49] * crutchy can only imagine saying 'gator' like that cletus dude from the simpsons
[11:30:50] <cmn32480> gator is excellent
[11:31:01] <cmn32480> very tasty
[11:31:12] <cmn32480> and it does NOT taste like chicken
[11:31:25] <crutchy> even better if you skin it first
[11:32:13] <cmn32480> probably
[11:32:21] <cmn32480> then lightly fried.... mmmmmmmmmmm

[11:40:54] * crutchy was about to stab his bot for dragging arse
[11:41:24] <Bytram> speaking of Ars, they had a story in the past day or two about a bunch of things that you can turn off to try and get back some privacy from win 10
[11:41:27] <crutchy> we need monopoly back in here :)
[11:41:40] <crutchy> hit the uninstall button?
[11:42:09] <crutchy> or insert debian install disc and restart pyewta?
[11:42:09] <Bytram> comments to that story referred to another story (thinkgeek?) which had a title of something like 30 things you can do to restore privacyon windows
[11:42:33] <Bytram> that would certainly be more secure, but might not run .exe files so well

[11:44:49] <cmn32480> but the whiskey tastes better.
[11:45:04] <crutchy> after a while taste becomes irrelevant :D
[11:45:13] <cmn32480> and good whiskey is for sipping.l. not getting drunk

[11:48:16] <Bytram> cmn32480: YAY!
[11:48:18] <crutchy> didn't van allen already invent that?
[11:48:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, it didn't before?
[11:49:02] <Bytram> crutchy: I think it was already there; he just discovered it. There was a US project to play with it at one time, IIRC.
[11:49:08] <crutchy> 640x480 should be more than enough for anybody!

[11:49:22] <crutchy> haha yeah i was just poking fun :D
[11:49:51] <crutchy> cmn32480, you installed guest additions?
[11:49:55] <cmn32480> my version was pretty old (v4.3.12)
[11:50:29] * crutchy was disappointed that guest additions didn't work in win95, so i was stuck with shitty graphics
[11:50:43] <cmn32480> crutchy - yeah. it was a bug that started in 4.3.10 and got fixed sometime later (4.3.15 or so) according to the forums
[11:50:46] <crutchy> win95+ # before it all went wrong
[11:51:01] <Bytram> cmn32480: I was thinking it would be useful to have something like the knakerbrakert thingy built into SN to make it easier for users to submit stories.

[11:56:07] <crutchy> yup
[11:56:28] <crutchy> not sure if i agree with this guy's premise though. "demand for a product increases when the price of its complements decreases"
[11:57:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> s/increases/may increase/
[11:57:10] <crutchy> if the price of something's compliments go down, demand might still be low if its a shit product
