[00:01:14] <BadCoderFinger> Hey Spalls
[00:02:06] <NerdJock> my cunning disguise has been pierced!
[00:02:19] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[00:02:35] <BadCoderFinger> Your pants were in here earlier, warning everybody.
[00:02:52] <NerdJock> don't believe anything they say! the pants are a lie!
[00:03:19] <BadCoderFinger> Only in one place...
[00:05:06] <NerdJock> your innuendo is too sophisticated for me to unravel
[00:05:59] <BadCoderFinger> Your room, naturally! And will you take down that webcam! Think of the poor defenseless children on the internet!
[00:06:38] <NerdJock> my webcam is appropriately wrapped in tinfoil
[00:06:51] <NerdJock> nobody gets any freebies :)
[00:06:59] <BadCoderFinger> Good! Keep it that way!
[00:07:08] <BadCoderFinger> How are you, by the way?
[00:08:50] <NerdJock> well according to recent polls, I still have two feet!
[00:09:38] <BadCoderFinger> I think that is a net positive.
[00:09:46] <NerdJock> hold on a second... gotta change my nick. I keep seeing "nerdjock" and wondering who that is :)
[00:09:51] NerdJock is now known as SpallsHurgenson
[00:10:10] <BadCoderFinger> Heh! You managed to cloak yourself!
[00:10:55] <SpallsHurgenson> I have decided that tonight is the night to watch a horrible movie. I have decided on "Beastmaster"
[00:11:22] <BadCoderFinger> That is a great horrible movie! You should follow it up with the series "V"
[00:11:41] <SpallsHurgenson> I have the original miniseries on DVD :)
[00:11:56] <BadCoderFinger> Sadly, me too. Just as cheesy as I remember.
[00:12:04] <SpallsHurgenson> however I am not sure I can take that much terribleness in one night
[00:12:47] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, maybe good to space it out a bit.
[00:13:18] <SpallsHurgenson> the original V was okay but the series became very soap-operay
[00:13:44] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, it was a product of its time.
[00:14:19] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Surgeons Smash Records With Pig-to-Primate Organ Transplants - http://sylnt.us - with-free-curly-tail
[00:15:02] <BadCoderFinger> "I had a transplant, and suddenly I no longer like bacon! WTF?"
[00:16:39] <SpallsHurgenson> the hero of Beastmaster is disturbingly well shaved
[00:17:25] <BadCoderFinger> Sharp knives in those days.
[00:18:04] <BadCoderFinger> I'm shamefully admitting too much knowledge of that movie, but isn't his name Dar?
[00:18:12] <SpallsHurgenson> ooh, very good!
[00:18:48] <SpallsHurgenson> the actor's broad californian accent really isn't helping to sell the fantasy either
[00:18:56] <BadCoderFinger> I've forgotten the ferret names, though.
[00:19:22] <SpallsHurgenson> haven't got to the rats yet; they're still doing the backstory
[00:19:36] <SpallsHurgenson> Kodo and Podo, says the Internet
[00:20:52] <SpallsHurgenson> and the Internet is usally reliable on pointless stuff like that :)
[00:21:17] <BadCoderFinger> Internet: Stuff that doesn't matter, News for trivia nerds
[00:21:59] <SpallsHurgenson> the 80s really seemed to have a thing for boomerang-like weapons, didn't it?
[00:22:15] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, a lot.
[00:23:33] <BadCoderFinger> Did you ever see the Deathstalker movies?
[00:24:23] <SpallsHurgenson> one moment... we're getting to the best part of 80s sword'n'sorcery movies... blatant boobies!
[00:24:40] <SpallsHurgenson> (can't type, need hands :)
[00:24:58] <BadCoderFinger> Way too much information there.
[00:25:43] <SpallsHurgenson> what, I just mean I'm eating some popcorn!
[00:26:25] <BadCoderFinger> Right...
[00:26:51] <BadCoderFinger> That tinfoil "wrapped" webcam may betray you.
[00:27:05] <SpallsHurgenson> whew... now I'm all out of popcorn :)
[00:27:54] * BadCoderFinger adds a new euphemism to the notebook.
[00:29:18] <SpallsHurgenson> I think I saw Deathstalker back when it was new... it certainly looks like a movie I would have gone to see :)
[00:29:39] <BadCoderFinger> I really only liked the second one, it was a comedy.
[00:29:54] <BadCoderFinger> (I think it was the second one...)
[00:30:26] <BadCoderFinger> It had the 80s trifecta of swords, wizards, and boobs.
[00:30:44] <SpallsHurgenson> (oooh, we're at the part of the movie with the evil birdpeople... I used to think these guys were so cool)

[00:38:05] <SpallsHurgenson> don't do it! it's the primary processor of the CyberOverlord! As soon as they get it working, all Humanity is doomed, doomed, DOOMED I tell you!
[00:45:24] <BadCoderFinger> That could be.
[00:45:35] <SpallsHurgenson> well, just so you are aware
[00:45:43] <BadCoderFinger> But I gotta eat. End of civilization as we know it? Meh.
[00:47:08] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm sure the billions of tormented dead will understand
[00:47:30] <BadCoderFinger> Or not. Surprising how grouchy they can be.
[00:49:31] <SpallsHurgenson> that's what the hunter-killer robots are for, I suppose

[01:00:25] * SpallsHurgenson kicks a nearby pebble grumpily, "Shucks, I sure wish I had my own blindl loyal murderous death machine..."
[01:01:50] <SpallsHurgenson> hmmm... maybe I should have said "autonomous death machine"... does that sound funnier?
[01:02:00] <swiss> automated
[01:02:08] <swiss> actually
[01:02:12] <BadCoderFinger> Either way, we're doomed.
[01:02:12] <swiss> lets just call guns automated death machines
[01:02:21] <swiss> just point them at whatever you want dead
[01:02:23] <swiss> and click
[01:02:31] <SpallsHurgenson> no, the -d at the end of the word sounds too final, it closes the joke before you get to the death machines bit
[01:03:09] <swiss> just list "death automation" on your resume
[01:04:11] <SpallsHurgenson> that would be dishonest!
[01:04:35] <BadCoderFinger> I used to work for a medical device company, so "Death Automation" would be accurate.
[01:04:38] <SpallsHurgenson> I take pride that all my deaths have been lovingly hand crafted!
[01:05:09] <SpallsHurgenson> ... but perhaps I've said too much
[01:05:35] <BadCoderFinger> It's the personal touch that sets you apart. In any case, it's easy to kill someone who's standing around thinking, "Where are that guy's pants?"
[01:06:59] <SpallsHurgenson> speaking of pointless brutality, have the US police made the news again today?
[01:07:45] <BadCoderFinger> I wouldn't be surprised.
[01:21:05] <SirFinkus> I'm eating the ultimate american food
[01:21:10] <SirFinkus> pizza
[01:21:20] <SirFinkus> but instead of tomato sauce, cheese sauce
[01:22:03] <SpallsHurgenson> it better be deep fried in batter!
[01:23:07] <SirFinkus> it does have a butter and salt glazed crust
[01:23:36] <SpallsHurgenson> is there bacon involved?
[01:24:04] <SirFinkus> no, but pepperoni
[01:24:12] <SirFinkus> which I'm sure is just as bad for you as bacon
[01:24:13] <SpallsHurgenson> hmmm...
[01:24:31] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm afraid your food doesn't qualify as ultimate american food
[01:24:39] <SpallsHurgenson> in fact, it sounds almost... Canadian
[01:25:06] * Deucalion glances around
[01:25:14] <BadCoderFinger> Canada is invading!
[01:26:04] <SpallsHurgenson> "Pardon me, oh I do apologize, you don't mind if we - oh this is quite embarassing - if we, well... invade? If it's not too much bother? Eh?"
[01:26:59] * Deucalion realises he as no idea what is going on
[01:27:01] <BadCoderFinger> Do you think the US border patrol is smart enough to say, "No, not today."
[01:27:23] * Deucalion exits stage left - be well :)
[01:28:18] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, the Cannucks are tricky... they'll probably say all that in French and the Americans - afraid to be exposed as the monolingual intellectual inferiors - will just wave them through :)
[01:30:31] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, that's true.
[01:31:17] <SpallsHurgenson> either that or they'll bore the poor guards to death by talking to them about hockey for sixteen hours (or as the Cannucks call it, "a brief chat")
[01:32:24] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[01:32:41] <BadCoderFinger> I have a Canadian friend who is really into hockey. Shocking, I know.
[01:33:14] <BadCoderFinger> And yes, he can talk for extended periods about it. He is considerate, though, he'll wake me if I nod off.
[01:33:35] <SpallsHurgenson> alternately alternately, they could just give the 'mericans some real beer. After subsisting on Coors and Bud, a half-teaspoon of the real stuff should knock 'em right out
[01:34:04] <BadCoderFinger> Speak for yourself! I get really good beer in Colorado. And no, I don't mean Coors.
[01:34:24] <SpallsHurgenson> Well of course, Colorado.
[01:34:28] <SpallsHurgenson> there they have Zima :)
[01:34:46] <BadCoderFinger> Not that I've seen. Zima is cause for nuclear war.
[01:35:03] <SpallsHurgenson> and twenty times more palatable :)
[01:35:05] <BadCoderFinger> I live somewhat close to Drydock brewery.
[01:36:30] <BadCoderFinger> I highly recommend Hop Abomination.
[01:36:31] <SpallsHurgenson> I live somewhere close to a place too!
[01:36:58] <SpallsHurgenson> I just recommend hopping.
[01:37:33] <SpallsHurgenson> (I think one of us is confused)
[01:38:00] <BadCoderFinger> Is it you or me?
[01:38:06] <SpallsHurgenson> yes
[01:38:20] <BadCoderFinger> Good, got that down.
[01:38:21] <SpallsHurgenson> (raise your hand if you saw that response coming)
[01:38:52] <BadCoderFinger> (Can you see my hand raised?)
[01:39:13] <SpallsHurgenson> I can see many things.
[01:39:55] <BadCoderFinger> Yet I have no webcam. Holy crap, you've been watching too many sword and sorcery movies, you've gone and bought a crystal ball, haven't you?
[01:40:55] <SpallsHurgenson> I actually stopped watching Beastmaster. Too many close ups of Marc Singer's leather-covered crotch
[01:40:58] <SirFinkus> I'm an astral projection pervert
[01:41:21] <BadCoderFinger> Perversion is the only point to astral projection!
[01:43:10] <SpallsHurgenson> silence falls across the channel as we all consider the implications of that last statement

[01:46:39] <SirFinkus> case sensitive
[01:47:01] <SpallsHurgenson> nonetheless, valuable data for future generations when they try to understand the greatness of our civilization

[01:48:07] <Bender> Quote 407 - <SirFinkus> because the implication is a several day long "nice spurt"
[01:48:13] <BadCoderFinger> Probably you entered a new line before the grab of the originally intended quote.
[01:48:29] <SpallsHurgenson> disturbing.

[07:50:00] <Subsentient> crutchy: yes it does
[07:58:31] <Gravis> Subsentient: why do you think that trying to evoke one particular negative emotion (disgust) from someone is ok but think it's abhorant to evoke another kind of negative emotion (anger/fright/sarrow) from someone?
[07:59:16] <Subsentient> Gravis: Oh, is this about the imgur 'eww' thing?

[08:32:35] <SirFinkus> and if it isn't easy to securely add, let me turn it off
[08:33:13] <Subsentient> SirFinkus: they just made it possible that you can't turn it off.
[08:33:36] <SirFinkus> yeah, I'm pretty aware of their shenanigans
[08:33:45] <SirFinkus> just yelling into the echo chamber
[08:35:49] <Subsentient> SirFinkus: A new antitrust complaint was filed in the EU, and they're taking it seriously this time. I don't see any filings for the US however.
[08:36:01] <SirFinkus> hmm, well, good luck
[08:36:09] <SirFinkus> I fully expect the EU to slap their shit
[08:36:14] <SirFinkus> or at least pretend to
[08:36:22] * Subsentient filed for the US, hopes it does some good
[08:36:24] <crutchy> Gravis, you're toying with my emotions
[08:36:52] <SirFinkus> I suspect what will happen is there will be "EU" laptops and versions of windows that only work in the EU, some kind of region coding bullshit
[08:37:20] <SirFinkus> then, the US SEC will fine them half a day's profits and move on with it
[08:39:11] <SirFinkus> I think what they're trying to do is sneak around the antitrust stuff by merely "allowing" OEMs to add a toggle switch
[08:39:33] <SirFinkus> "it's not our fault of HP laptops only run windows" etc
[08:43:18] <crutchy> people still buy HP laptops?
[08:54:49] <SirFinkus> yes

[09:11:33] <Prospectacle> i may have been drinking
[09:11:35] <Prospectacle> how are you all?
[09:13:38] <SirFinkus> neat
[09:13:39] * chromas is upgrading illegtimiate windows 7 VMs to authentic 10
[09:15:15] <Prospectacle> that's mighty good to hear SirFinkus
[09:15:32] <SirFinkus> don't you mean downgrading?
[09:15:50] <chromas> I dunno; it's windows either way
[09:16:03] <SirFinkus> good point
[09:16:25] <chromas> I'm just doing it 'cause it's a free shiny. I don't actually use windows
[09:16:57] <Prospectacle> I wish I could read about this period of software and networking in history books, but alas it hasn't finished yet
[09:17:12] <Prospectacle> privacy vs security vs law enforcement
[09:17:30] * chromas has a moment of psilence for those who must use windows for work or whatever
[09:17:31] <Prospectacle> free vs "free" vs freemium vs pay-me-over-and-over-and-over-again-my-friend
[09:17:57] <chromas> ooh, freemium os

[09:18:51] <Prospectacle> lol
[09:19:04] <Prospectacle> well windows is moving towards freemium it seems. Remember when all their games were offline and pre-installed
[09:19:07] <Prospectacle> those were the days
[09:19:31] <SirFinkus> Hover motherfucker
[09:19:39] <SirFinkus> although you needed to put in another disk for that
[09:19:51] * chromas didn't
[09:19:52] <Prospectacle> you do get a lot of stuff out of the box, but many things you specifically, pointedly don't get. wordpad vs word for example
[09:20:12] * SirFinkus is listening to Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band — Moonlight on Vermont, from the album Trout Mask Replica

[10:22:00] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I'm fucking livid about secure boot, and I have been for a while, and the Win10 thing with not requiring the ability to disable it is just so much worse.
[10:22:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, my roomie has a laptop that you can't disable it on. which sucks cause he actually did want linux on it.
[10:23:12] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: He can run Fedora on it
[10:23:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope, they disabled usb boot as well
[10:23:29] <Subsentient> holy shit
[10:23:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> and disk
[10:23:31] <Subsentient> boot from CD?
[10:23:34] <Subsentient> holy fuck
[10:23:36] <Prospectacle> What's the smallest amount of windows code you'd need to allow, to run linux in a VM. I mean if you had a computer with windows on it already and you couldn't disable secure boot?
[10:23:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[10:24:06] <Prospectacle> Can you get a "boot into command line" mode for windows still, and if so could you have it auto-run a VM with linux immediately?
[10:24:35] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: by chance is this a "windows 10" laptop?
[10:24:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> Prospectacle, dunno. used to be you could have probably replaced explorer.exe as the shell with virtualbox or vmware or whatever
[10:24:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, nope, win8
[10:25:01] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: now just imagine how bad now that OEMs aren't even asked to allow disabling it
[10:25:22] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: do you have a model number?
[10:25:26] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I'd like to do research
[10:25:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> they'll still make motherboards that allow it, they'll just charge extra
[10:25:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> some alienware doodad, lemme go check.
[10:26:34] <Prospectacle> I think a large proportion of jobs these days don't require windows. Maybe an increasing proportion. What do you think, is there any research on this?
[10:26:55] <Prospectacle> I mean I'm a dev and more and more of my work is moving to the web, meaning I don't need windows-specific compilers
[10:27:06] <Prospectacle> Email can be done on anything, as can word processing, spreadsheets, etc
[10:27:35] <Prospectacle> So will secureboot just make people start selling linux laptops again?
[10:27:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> kay, i lied. it's an MSI ms-1759
[10:28:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> technically you should still be able to clear the settings in the boot manager but to do that you have to take the computer way, way apart to get where you can unplug the battery
[10:29:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> not your standard take a plate or two off. take half the case off then you still have a hunk of steel motherboard bracket right over top of the battery. have to take the entire motherboard out.
[10:30:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> well maybe aluminum
[10:31:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> Prospectacle, anything but "some games" in my experience. i don't n haven't run windows since xp days.
[10:32:03] <Prospectacle> I run it for one compiler I use at work, and itunes
[10:32:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> i do maintain a winders 7 dual boot partition in case i ever have to though. it's easier than having to set it up if i actually do find something i can't live without.
[10:33:31] <Prospectacle> still, personal experiences aside, i've noticed fewer and fewer things on the list of what people use that requires windows
[10:33:44] <Prospectacle> most of the co-ordination, groupware, communication software we use at work is web-based
[10:33:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup. most people can get by with a phone, which for the vast majority means zero windows.
[10:35:25] <Prospectacle> "The year of the linux desktop" has become a joke, but it's not because the gap (to viability) isn't shrinking, it's just because fans have been over-optimistic of the rate. It's clearly shrinking
[10:36:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> shurg, android already took care of that for phones and tablets. linux is everywhere now except on proper pcs
[10:37:03] <crutchy> ~title off
[10:37:04] <exec> titles disabled for 10#Soylent
[10:37:07] <Prospectacle> I would love to see studies on average program time per person. I'll bet the operating system specific tasks (programs only available on that operating system), has gone from about 50-60% to about 20% in the last 20 years
[10:38:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> i really couldn't say. if it can't be done on linux, i don't do it.
[10:38:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i may put some effort into getting rosetta stone working under wine today.
[10:38:51] <crutchy> lucky there's gedit for windows
[10:39:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> gvim as well
[10:39:15] <crutchy> though i use geany on my desktop, and in some ways it kinda kicks gedit's ass
[10:39:35] <crutchy> i should prolly put geany on my work vms
[10:39:54] <crutchy> s/work/work dev/
[10:40:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, okay, prolly not today. still having a less than fun cold.
[10:43:45] <SirFinkus> oh sweet, thunderstorm
[10:44:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> fun. time to find out which power supplies were made in china.
[10:46:36] <SirFinkus> house was made in 1946, the wiring isn't really "up to code"
[10:46:41] <SirFinkus> to be technical

[18:19:39] <Subsentient> Mmmmm... egg farts.... *homer simpson face*
[18:20:31] <Ethanol-fueled> I read your letter Subsentient -- needs more death-threats.
[18:20:47] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: lol
[18:21:19] <Subsentient> I will admit the idea of choking out the assholes who did this to PCs sounds appealing....
[18:21:41] <Subsentient> I'm not a pacifist, I'm a utilitarian, and sometimes that mandates opening up a can of whoop ass.
[18:21:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient, it's for your own safety.
[18:22:01] <Ethanol-fueled> To keep bad guys from hacking your computer.
[18:22:36] <Subsentient> lol
[18:23:09] <Ethanol-fueled> I read Fliptop's recent journal and was going to post a reply saying, "So...is she hot? Where's she going to school?"
[18:24:21] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: lolllll
[18:24:26] <Ethanol-fueled> But back to your journal, yeah, that's a dick move. But didn't Microsoft reverse that decision after some complaints?
[18:24:30] <Subsentient> he'd fucking kill you
[18:24:35] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: No.
[18:24:37] <Subsentient> Not at all.
[18:24:48] <Subsentient> They actually just made it WORSE for Windows 10.
[18:25:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Damn, fuck that.
[18:25:25] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Precisely.
[18:25:45] <Subsentient> I'd love to give microsoft a nice, spiney antitrust lawsuit enema.
[18:25:55] <Subsentient> Right up the ol' poop shoot
[18:26:52] * Ethanol-fueled would just take the settlement money and buy three old puters for the price of one new one.
[18:27:06] <Ethanol-fueled> But then again, people like you have principles...I think.
[18:27:13] <chromas> $burrito Microsoft Poopchute®
[18:27:13] * aqu4 chucks a nasty, rotten burrito at Microsoft Poopchute®
[18:27:57] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Yup, I'd get a kick out of talking them up to some absurdly high price like 25 billion and then telling them to go fuck themselves.

[18:28:21] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: I'd never sell out. This kind of thing matters more than the billions for me.
[18:28:30] <Subsentient> Of course, they probably wouldn't give me more than a few grand
[18:28:37] <Subsentient> but still, I wouldn't
[18:28:45] <Ethanol-fueled> that's what you'd be left with after the lawyers take their cut.
[18:31:33] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: Yeah I'm currently in "butcher microsoft and sell them to Purina" mode.
[18:31:45] <Subsentient> Shame too, before I found out about this BS, I was actually pretty pleased with Win10
[18:32:09] <Ethanol-fueled> PbfbfbbfffffftHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!
[18:32:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Pleased with Win 10, HAHAHAHAHAHAH
[18:32:44] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: vs Win8.x? Yeah, big difference
[18:33:34] <Ethanol-fueled> Why would you need Win 10? You some kinda pen-tester or malware writer?
[18:34:29] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: I like to fiddle with stuff.
[18:34:50] <Subsentient> I also need something to test my useless aqu4bot Windows support on :^)
[18:35:05] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: that reminds me, you use Windows/
[18:35:13] <Subsentient> Want a copy of aqu4bot?
[18:35:31] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, I'd like to take a look. You got a repo, right?
[18:52:41] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: yeh
[18:52:51] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: https://github.com
[18:53:01] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: make sure to highlight me if you ever want a response.
[18:53:22] <Ethanol-fueled> Gotcha.
[18:53:37] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm gonna check it out and split from here. Maybe be back on later, depending.
[18:53:40] <Ethanol-fueled> Happy Friday!
