[00:56:25] <SpallsHurgenson> the saddest sound in the world is going to a friend's place and hearing their PC wheezing like an asthmatic because it is so clogged with dust that its CPU fan has to run at full speed all the time to keep the thing cool.
[00:58:01] <SpallsHurgenson> you just wanna whip out the screwdrivers and open that poor bastard up so the PC won't suffer anymore
[00:58:50] <chromas> or heavily imply that it's done for and he neeeds a new one and uh, what're you gonna do with that? I'll takae care of it for you
[00:59:10] <SpallsHurgenson> no, this is the CHEAP friend
[00:59:32] <chromas> ah, so it's probably got windows me then
[00:59:54] <SpallsHurgenson> worse, Mac OS X
[01:00:08] <chromas> jesus dude, use a trigger warning
[01:00:08] <takyon> my laptop is doin gexactly that
[01:00:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, what you do is tell him you can fix it for $100 but you'll need to take it home. then you do, blow it out with a can of compressed air, keep it a few days, and bring it back.
[01:00:12] <takyon> need to get some air
[01:00:48] <takyon> I'm not 100% it's the fan though. I think I might have messed up the power settings
[01:00:57] <SpallsHurgenson> helpful hint: let the CPU and motherboard cool first before spraying with super-cold compressed air :)
[01:01:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> pffft, i like to live on the edge
[01:01:17] <takyon> i'll be honest and say I didn't even think of that
[01:01:25] <takyon> even though I shattered some pyrex in the oven the other week
[01:01:52] <takyon> then a bit of the glass got embedded in my finger
[01:02:11] <takyon> like a millishard
[01:02:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> you have bad luck
[01:02:37] <SpallsHurgenson> you heat-shattered pyrex? I didn't think that was possible; do you own a tokamak or something?
[01:03:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh you can do it, take it from the freezer and put it in the oven

[01:15:49] <SpallsHurgenson> impossible! they swore they weren't doing any such thing and besides, congress illegalized it!
[01:16:15] <takyon> they have better lawyers
[01:16:25] <takyon> from the John Yoo school of lawyering
[01:17:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, stripe billing is up on dev n ready for your abuse. use card number 4242 4242 4242 4242 with any future exp date and 123 or something for cvc
[01:18:03] <paulej72> can I buy porn with that number
[01:18:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> only from us
[01:18:39] <takyon> which team members are modeling
[01:18:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> SpallsHurgenson has a pretty good stash though
[01:19:42] <paulej72> i don't think that anyone would want to see me nakid
[01:20:23] <paulej72> it would make two girls one cup and tub girl look tame
[01:20:24] <SpallsHurgenson> neither did I, but then check out the conversation of 42 minutes ago; they couldn't keep their eyes off me! :)
[01:20:32] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: k, don't know how much I'll be able to beat on it in the near future -- Black Friday is coming and the end of my normal world as I know it until next year.
[01:21:06] <takyon> how so
[01:21:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> shouldn't take long. there's only a few combinations you can actually enter. mostly the "from" field.

[01:24:29] <takyon> <takyon> you buying or selling bytram
[01:25:12] <SpallsHurgenson> how much does a bytram go for these days anyway?
[01:25:14] <Bytram> takyon: I don't understand you question.
[01:25:37] <takyon> "don't know how much I'll be able to beat on it in the near future -- Black Friday is coming"
[01:26:01] <Bytram> At what they pay me here on this site, not very much in money, but the value is priceless.
[01:26:01] <takyon> my journal has some links for black friday
[01:26:15] <Bytram> oh, I am in Retail.
[01:26:24] <takyon> don't get trampled
[01:26:52] <Bytram> takyon: submit it as a story?
[01:27:04] <takyon> i think the reception will be bad
[01:27:15] <takyon> I plan to submit a black friday news-related story and post my journal in the comments
[01:27:21] <Bytram> What's the best deals you've found so far for Black Friday?
[01:27:28] <Bytram> takyon: I'm not sure of that.
[01:27:32] <Bytram> it's in the phrasing.
[01:27:50] <takyon> i'm eyeing a $99 chromebook. netbook size: 11.6 inches
[01:28:33] <takyon> i doubt I will get any in-store stuff this year. I'd like to keep it online
[01:28:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> hadda run childrens out of the room. they was having a fight between me and the monitor
[01:28:58] <Bytram> "I'm looking to get a $widget... (keyboard, external drive, new 27" 4K monitor) and the best price I've found so far is $n -- I've loked at these places: ... Any other suggestions? where do you get your best deals>?
[01:28:59] <takyon> I really don't need any 4 terabyte drives or USB flash sticks but the prices are decent.
[01:29:12] <Bytram> too good to pass up! I understand!
[01:29:15] <takyon> that's a bald faced lie
[01:29:20] <takyon> I already know all the prices

[01:30:05] <Bytram> takyon: I'm just saying that putting it out there like that invites people to help out -- our community likes to do that, I've seen. =)

[01:30:10] <Bytram> afk
[01:30:14] <SpallsHurgenson> I need some 4TB drives. Just saying in case anyone has too much money burning a hole in their pocket...
[01:30:25] <takyon> show me your benjamins
[01:31:00] <chromas> "<takyon> I really don't need any 4 terabyte drives or USB flash sticks"
[01:31:00] <chromas> that's enough out of you, mister!
[01:31:14] <takyon> y
[01:31:20] <takyon> ?
[01:31:30] <chromas> there's always room for more storage
[01:32:07] <takyon> I invite you to spend $100 on 4 TB
[01:32:08] <SpallsHurgenson> especially if you have uncapped internet :)
[01:32:27] <takyon> Best Buy, Office Max/Depot, maybe more by now
[01:32:51] <takyon> 5 TB at $120 at Costco, Office Max/Depot
[01:33:14] <takyon> I didn't noticed any good 6/8 TB but I think the prices are starting to get reasonable
[01:33:39] <SpallsHurgenson> remember to get at least two: one for storage, second for backup :)
[01:33:47] <takyon> what the hell
[01:33:56] <takyon> 5 TB for $88 at Fry's
[01:34:02] <takyon> http://slickdeals.net

[01:34:21] <takyon> in-store only
[01:34:29] <takyon> and they have an $88 4 TB internal drive too
[01:35:10] <takyon> i don't think Frys is very widespread though. One of you might live near one
[01:36:22] <SpallsHurgenson> I've heard of these stores, but have never seen one. Personally, I think its all fairy tales; I mean, a place where you can buy low-priced computer hardware right off the street?
[01:39:10] <SpallsHurgenson> I mean, if such a place existed, it would drive Amazon out of business... and (let me check... yup!) Amazon's still going strong
[01:40:00] <SpallsHurgenson> ergo, Frys can't exist. QED!
[01:40:07] <takyon> their bes deals are typically in-store only
[01:40:11] <takyon> *best
[01:40:11] * SpallsHurgenson dares anyone to find fault with his logic :)
[01:41:02] <takyon> you're just trying to keep people away from Frys so you can snag the hard drives
[01:42:58] <SpallsHurgenson> now, do I seem like the sort of person who would do such a thing?
[01:43:35] <Bytram> I was once told "Never ask a question unless you are prepared for whatever answer you may get."
[01:43:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> holy fuck it's doctor who day and nobody subbed it!
[01:43:41] <takyon> no you seem mentally stable and fully clothed
[01:43:57] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Doctor Who?
[01:44:20] <SpallsHurgenson> we'll just go back in time and make sure we get it right this time
[01:44:38] <SpallsHurgenson> british children's tv show about a gay alien and his time machine
[01:44:40] <takyon> put the Doctor Who story in place of the DIY Solar Concentrator story
[01:45:05] <Bytram> what Doctor Who story?
[01:45:18] <takyon> the one TMB is probably writing
[01:45:33] <Bytram> oh, that's why I do not see it in the queue,yet.
[01:45:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, yall godless heathens don't deserve one.
[01:45:48] <takyon> hahah

[02:03:39] <SpallsHurgenson> you mean a shoebox? :)

[12:24:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, that's certainly one way to figure out exactly how big Putin's balls are. not a particularly wise way though.
[12:24:39] <crutchy> putin wont get his knickers in a twist about turkey being a nato member. he'll just turn the turkish border into an uninhabited wasteland in the name of 'fighting terrorism'

[12:27:55] <nick> and i know you think that about some of the stuff i accept or submit
[12:28:01] <nick> as the second link shows
[12:28:22] <crutchy> Gravis, lemme guess you probably think the idea of using some 'indestructible' box with a recording device could never possibly work?
[12:29:29] <nick> i will be sure to make sure any analysis for the current middle-east situation comes from unbiased corporate sources, preferably strategists from military contractors
[12:29:35] <nick> they certainly have no horses in the race
[12:29:42] <crutchy> i think the kid's idea has merit, and i used to work as an aeronautical engineer in civil aviation
[12:31:45] <Gravis> crutchy: i think a spool of several thousand meters of wire would be heavy... and that it wouldn't unravel properly
[12:32:27] <crutchy> i think including some sort of mechanism that causes the black boxes to float to the surface might work though
[12:33:10] <Gravis> crutchy: the ocean is full of debris already, having it float wont make it any easier to locate
[12:33:19] <crutchy> problem with airplanes is that when they slam into the ocean they tend to sink pretty quick, and its hard to detect radios sitting under two miles of water
[12:33:20] <Gravis> crutchy: a radio beacon might
[12:33:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> too much water. do sonar.
[12:33:58] <Gravis> either way, a balloon is retarded
[12:34:31] <crutchy> Gravis, have you seen the film 'the abyss'?
[12:34:45] <Gravis> yes
[12:35:09] <crutchy> and you still think inflating a balloon underwater is retarded?
[12:35:13] <crutchy> lol
[12:35:44] <Gravis> nick: no, military contractors cannot be trusted for anything. however, newspapers aren't military contractors
[12:36:02] <nick> they do like to report the military contractors say though
[12:36:20] <crutchy> i think whoever upvoted your comment was retarded, let alone the guy that wrote it
[12:36:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, Gravis is right. newspapers can't be trusted for entirely different reasons.
[12:37:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly that their interest has nothing to do with the truth and everything to do with getting people to buy a paper
[12:37:24] <nick> or keeping their advertisers happy
[12:37:33] <crutchy> must admit i don't get the 'from the mouths of babes' title thing though
[12:37:45] <crutchy> sounds more like a dept.
[12:38:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> https://en.wiktionary.org
[12:38:04] <Linkin`Log> ^ 03Wiki: out of the mouths of babes
[12:38:31] <nick> which is why some papers stay away from criticising certain countries or companies, or will quickly drop criticism when money or a partnership got on the table
[12:38:54] <nick> telegraph and hsbc, telegraph and vw, dailymail and china
[12:38:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> and that's leaving aside entirely the politics of the editors
[12:39:00] <nick> as three examples in recent months
[12:39:08] <crutchy> meh. i would have just titled it "8 yo thinks outside the square regarding aviation safety"
[12:39:15] <crutchy> or something
[12:39:21] <nick> crutchy: agreed
[12:39:39] <nick> i do not like headlines that give no information or context for the story they're attached to
[12:39:43] <Gravis> how about this, if you plane starts descending too fast, it puts out it's coords over ham radio
[12:40:08] <Gravis> seems like something that would work
[12:40:23] <crutchy> problem with that is that those coords might be miles from the location of the wreck still
[12:40:36] <crutchy> currents can be pretty strong
[12:40:46] <Gravis> crutchy: and you think a balloon is going to stay attached to anything?
[12:41:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> sonar ftw. ulf if you can get the hippies to stfu.
[12:41:07] <crutchy> balloon can be inside the black box till the moment it settles on the ocean floor
[12:41:12] <crutchy> (deflated)
[12:42:06] <crutchy> store settled location, then trigger release and inflation with some sort of compressed inert gas
[12:43:36] <crutchy> not saying it wouldn't be complex to engineer, but the idea of indestructible black boxes prolly seemed far fetched originally too
[12:44:07] <Gravis> not really. i mean, we have stuff that survives re-entry.
[12:44:23] <crutchy> that were invented 'after' black boxes
[12:44:58] <Gravis> are you saying you dont remember the future?
[12:45:22] <crutchy> no i'm saying that black boxes were invented before said reentry thingys

[12:53:09] <crutchy> also, a mile of cable is becoming a bit more feasible given the work on space tethers recently
[12:53:50] <crutchy> and all that carbon nanotube crap
[12:54:04] <crutchy> or even spider silk
[12:54:53] <crutchy> but in any case, thinking outside the box with regard to aviation safety is always welcome, and i'm glad the delta execs (and hopefully the faa) are open to ideas
