[15:24:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> enh. It's extremely verbose but you (almost) never write a COBOL program from scratch; you find an existing program and clone-and-hack from there. Plus it's a guaranteed moneymaker, at least until we get rid of all the currently-existing banks.

[16:51:51] <FatPhil> Do small devices exist that will take laptop HDMI out, and amplify just the sound? the D2A in my laptop is SHIT, and it would be nice to drive something external with decent quality.
[16:52:18] <FatPhil> (And yes, the solution is to blow several hundreds on a hifi, but I'm looking for something more cheaparse)
[16:53:37] <FatPhil> oooh, I guess there's USB audio as an alternative, doesn't need to be HDMI.
[16:53:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yes - apparently they are called "HDMI audio extractors" and seem to be running around $30 on US amazon.com. Not sure what they'll be in your part of the world.
[17:05:09] <FatPhil> ah, yeah, "amplifier" was messing with my search, it was giving me what are effectively just HDMI repeaters
[17:05:37] <FatPhil> My budget can easily stretch to that $30 - I'll get hunting - thanks!

[22:01:11] <FatPhil> Which was generation 5?

[22:01:56] -!- idetuxs has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[22:02:11] <FatPhil> how many pentium families were there? it got up to 4, didn't it?
[22:02:42] <FatPhil> maybe they realised that pentium 5 would blow their cover about meaningless marketting.
[22:03:40] <FatPhil> not forgetting of course that one of the pentium generations was such a fuckup that the next one was based on a previous generation instead.
[22:05:46] <FatPhil> "core" only managed 2 generations?
[22:11:00] <boru> I think that, like everything else, they messed up their generations.
[22:11:18] <boru> i.e. it doesn't start from the 8086 or some such.
[22:11:37] <chromas> Aren't they still doing "core"?
[22:12:24] <boru> NFI.
