[00:55:19] <Sulla> God damn, getting to the front of a long grocery line and notice your wallets not on you
[01:37:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> thas funny, that is.
[02:01:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> bleh. ima go to home depot tomorrow and hire me a mexican to come push my M2 key in #fite all day.
[02:03:26] <chromas> Make a script to do it. It's only wrong if it doesn't require you to hit a key a bunch of times first
[02:04:07] <chromas> 20 key stabs, then the script fires #fite 20 times as needed
[02:08:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw. that'd be too close to cheating. hiring a mexican is capitalism and thus patriotic.
[02:08:48] * chromas hires moar mexicans to construct a wall around tmb's m2 and makes him pay for it.
[02:09:47] * TheMightyBuzzard hires a bunch of blue-haired college chicks to protest chromas and gets an equal number of soybois for free
[02:11:52] * chromas tells the harpies and soibois his macro key is a Nazi so they'll beat it off
[02:32:45] * Bytram creates a rube goldberg device that drops food pellets onto a platform so that when a mouse steps on it to retrieve the morsel, it causes the key to be depressed
[02:35:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's redundant. any keyboard that's over a week old has plenty of food in it already.
[02:35:14] <Bytram> ROFLMAO!
[02:35:31] * Bytram shakes out his keyboard and enjoys a snack
[02:35:45] <Bytram> nograb... just in case

[02:59:34] <Sulla> Hadrian, thaddius, and caius
[03:00:54] <Sulla> I wanted gaius but that is pronounced gay-us
[03:01:22] <Sulla> Luckily g and c are the same in ancient latin
[03:01:47] <chromas> But also, as a name, you can spell and pronounce it any way you want. There are no rules :)

[06:58:47] <chromas> Yes, I do believe you missed out on MrPlow changing from perl to rust
[06:59:10] <Subsentient> Oh, very interesting.
[06:59:31] * chromas nods sagely
[07:00:12] <chromas> or was it perl -> c -> rust
[07:00:26] <Subsentient> I'm still mad about the reaction to trolling that duplicate story tbh

[12:40:03] <Bytram> but, me lurvs snickerdoodles
[12:40:07] * cmn32480 suggets bytram sells the artwork
[12:40:23] <Bytram> how much you want to pay me? I take snickerdoodles!
[12:40:37] <boru> w00t, my quad-socket A1100 server should arrive this week.
[12:40:44] <Bytram> !woop
[12:40:44] <Bender> woop woop woop (\/) (;,,;) (\/)
[12:41:07] <Bytram> boru: what kind of procs are you going to put into it?
[12:41:19] <cmn32480> 386's no doubt
[12:41:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> that should make gentoo updates right tolerable
[12:41:24] <boru> 4 x Cortex-A57 quad cores.
[12:41:35] <boru> So, FreeBSD on arm64.
[12:42:07] <boru> I tried to get one of the Cavium thunderX boards, but they're like hen's teeth.
[12:42:15] <boru> They've got 48 cores.
[12:42:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, yeah. they're supposed to have thunderx2 boards out too but i think they're a myth.
[12:42:43] <boru> Same here, man.
[12:43:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> i was givin serious thought to building myself a desktop box out of one.
[12:43:05] <boru> There's so much of these news articles about company X making an ARM datacentre killer chip.
[12:43:10] <boru> But all you can find is the news articles.
[12:43:16] <boru> Aye, same here.
[12:43:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> and retiring this box to a gaming-only rig
[12:43:29] <boru> All I got was radio silence from Cavium.
[12:43:46] <boru> But some FreeBSD bods assured me they had been given the hardware.
[12:44:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> sounds like they don't have their shit together, production-wise
[12:44:38] <boru> ISTR them being sold recently.
[12:44:43] <boru> So that might have something to do with it.
[12:44:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> awe hell
[12:45:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> there goes any further innovation
[12:45:09] <boru> Anyway, I doubt AMD will support arm64 for much longer, so I'm glad I got one of these boxes while I could.
[12:45:19] <boru> I bought it from softiron, fwiw.
[12:45:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[12:45:59] <boru> I'll be pretty chuffed with BSD on arm64 if all goes well i.e. that jails work properly etc.
[12:46:12] * cmn32480 kills the lights in his office in hopes people will think he isn't here
[12:46:16] <boru> And, more importantly, that SATA3 will work properly.
[12:46:37] <boru> Turn off the lights and make ghost noises to scare them away.
[12:46:47] <cmn32480> good plan
[12:46:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> i have a dream that one day i'll have a 30+ core risc-v chip running at over 3GHz. i'm not holding my breath until then though.
[12:46:51] <Bytram> cmn32480: FYI (at the risk of jynxing things) lappy is still running strong, so far.
[12:47:00] <cmn32480> I was also thinking of setting up the monitor under my desk so that I can hide
[12:47:09] <boru> Yeah, I'm with you regarding RISC-V.
[12:47:12] <Bytram> cmn32480: just do NOT snore
[12:47:18] <cmn32480> damnit
[12:47:26] <cmn32480> that'd be an issue
[12:48:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, play a snoring mp3 on continuous loop. that way they won't notice.
[12:48:24] <cmn32480> but then if I start it'll be in stereo

[12:48:59] <cmn32480> even worse
[12:49:07] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:50:27] * Bytram slept well, but could have used another hour or two of sleep... now it is time for me to get ready for work.
[12:51:06] <cmn32480> we can all generally use another housr
[12:51:18] <cmn32480> 'cept the buzzard... he sleeps to his hearts content
[12:52:06] <Bytram> well, I would have slept longer except that a half hour after I went to bed, a neighbor decided to strum a few chords on an electric guitar and woke me up.
[12:52:26] <cmn32480> Dude.. your neighbors suck
[12:52:35] <Bytram> only lasted for a minute, so by the time I got up and headed to the likely door, they had already stopped so I could not confirm that it was them
[12:52:42] <Bytram> yup
[12:53:00] <Bytram> joys of apartment living.
[12:53:26] <Bytram> they're young, and self-centered... I was *never* like that, of course. ;)
[12:53:58] <Bytram> well, I'd like to think I wasmore considerate of my neighbors, but still, I was a bit unusual even then.
[12:54:09] <Bytram> anyway, gots to jump in the shower... biab
[12:56:04] * TheMightyBuzzard is seriously considering painting his toyota echo camouflage to match his boat
[12:56:47] <cmn32480> be careful.. you od that you might not be able to finsd it in the high grass in the front yeard
[12:57:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, my grass never gets above 2x mowed height.
[12:57:41] * TheMightyBuzzard forrest gump's the shit out of it
[12:58:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> and i don't even own enough concrete blocks to put a car up on
[12:58:40] <cmn32480> with an echo you only need like 1 or 2
[12:58:52] * cmn32480 drives a Yaris....
[13:00:01] <AndyTheAbsurd> damn you people
[13:00:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> now I want my Camry back. :(
[13:01:52] <cmn32480> I got a Yaris you can buy
[13:01:55] <cmn32480> barely broken in
[13:02:05] <cmn32480> 2007 with only 209k miles on it
[13:03:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> I don't think a Yaris has room in the back seat for my fatass friends.
[13:05:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep, that's barely broken in for a toyota
[13:06:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, it's got room for my fat ass. my dad has one that i've ridden in back of before.
[13:06:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> mind you, fat in this case doesn't exceed 200lbs.
[13:06:23] * cmn32480 has never ridden in the back of his yaris...
[13:06:35] * cmn32480 can't reach the pedals from the back seat
[13:06:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, you just need some wooden blocks like short-round from temple of doom
[13:07:34] <cmn32480> and string or duct tape to tie tehm to my feet

[16:15:32] * cmn32480 passes the duct tape
[16:20:52] <Sulla> Told the wife to bring new pants. Annoyed because I kept spare pants at work because I figured eventually I might need them
[16:21:05] <Sulla> Last week decided that the chances were minimal and took them home
[16:23:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> I need to start keeping clothes at work...that way I can ride my bicycle in.
[16:37:28] <Sulla> I have been wanting to bike to work but have some busy lightless roads I havent wanted to deal with
[16:40:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> I have a black version of this https://www.amazon.com (I don't why but it looks like the black one isn't available on amazon anymore) on my bike for pre-dawn / post-sunset riding

[16:41:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> along with a nice red tail light that I can't recall the manufacturer/model of so can't show you but it recharges in a USB Type A port.

[17:14:57] <pinchy> i remember one time i wore some new pants to school and it still had the sticker on it. got made fun of for that one, but it was before the style of actually wearing the tags
[17:15:09] <pinchy> was ahead of the curve
[17:15:16] <Sulla> Hah
[17:16:01] <pinchy> also onetime in college i put my pants on and they still had my old underwear from the previous day in the pant leg, i didnt feel it
[17:16:24] <pinchy> and in class i could see the underwear sticking out at the bottom
[17:18:10] <Subsentient> Lol, I've done that once
[17:19:26] <pinchy> hah only happens once
[17:21:08] <pinchy> ive quit wearing jeans for the last few years and wear dickies work pants, they look like any other dress slacks but feel way more comfortable imo
[17:22:12] <pinchy> they seem to last a lot longer too. something about jeans that they start to fray really fast once they got a worn spot

[20:59:38] <cmn32480> you getting sued mechanicjay?
[21:01:46] -!- bacterium has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[21:09:37] <mechanicjay> lol. No, I have a question about IP owned by a corp that went out of business in '88 or so.
[21:13:46] * cmn32480 engages his lawyers to buy this IP that mechanicjay speaks of...
[21:14:57] <mechanicjay> That is basically the question. The Corp was suspended by the CA Tax board in '88 -- which means they are basically not able to do anything unless they rectifiy this....this includes selling the IP.
[21:15:32] <mechanicjay> at the same turn, they are unable to enforce their claim to the IP should someone else start using it.

[21:16:29] <mechanicjay> I image though, that if someone took that IP and started making $$$ off it, the corp principles would find a way to pay off the Tax board to come after you pretty quick.
[21:17:43] <mechanicjay> I don't want to make money, just get the stuff out there legally for people. Currently the stuff could be classified as abandonware, but that's not quite good enough for me.
[21:17:48] <cmn32480> so as long as you aren't making $$ off it.. you are goosd!
[21:18:07] <cmn32480> other thought, is the IP still protected by trademark, patent, etc after 30 years?
[21:18:17] <chromas> Release it anonymously
[21:18:24] <chromas> Hacked by Russians
[21:18:36] <Sulla> RUSSIANS!
[21:18:41] <cmn32480> once it is on the web... ti is out there forever!
[21:18:54] <chromas> It was probably that Appple guy who did it
[21:18:55] <cmn32480> like cat videos and duck face pictures
[21:18:56] <mechanicjay> Trademark was cancelled by the USPTO in '88
[21:19:14] <chromas> Isn't copyright for corps lifetime + 100 years?
[21:19:30] <chromas> or something else stupid
[21:19:45] <mechanicjay> it would have been made under the older rules, and no one would have reapplied to re-up.
[21:19:52] <mechanicjay> But that is a thing to go checkout!
[21:19:54] <Sulla> Is like 70 years
[21:20:02] <Sulla> For corps I think
[21:20:22] <Sulla> Life of author + 70
[21:20:22] <mechanicjay> Not sure about patents, but that will be my next search

[21:22:07] * chromas can see the annual sequels lining up
[21:22:47] <mechanicjay> I might want to try to make a *LITTLE* money off it, by writing a patch for the original software. But that's easy enough, see how AppleWorks was supported by 3rd parties back in the day.
[21:23:08] <mechanicjay> They'd sell you a program which would patch the binary directly....
[21:23:13] <cmn32480> ithas apple in the name.. tehy'll own you
[21:23:27] <mechanicjay> Nah, not Apple.
[21:23:33] <mechanicjay> that's just an example
[21:23:36] <cmn32480> doesn't matter...
[21:23:41] <cmn32480> they own all that stuff

[21:24:46] <Sulla> This is interesting though -

[21:55:21] <Sulla> So I'm a sheltered straight-edged fuddy duddy who has never actually used a painkiller stronger than excederine
[21:55:39] <Sulla> So this article is hard for me to get, I don't get how you get hooked
[21:55:58] <Sulla> What "feeling" do these drugs give that hooks you on them?
[22:21:11] <mechanicjay> Beats me. I'm in the same boat. I was prescribed Percocet once after a minor surgery. After the 2nd dose, I threw them away. The "relief" was worse than the pain. Took some advil to take the edge off and I was fine.
[22:21:35] <chromas> You coulda sold 'em
[22:21:46] <mechanicjay> ...it did cross my mind.
[22:22:09] <chromas> Hang out at the high school in a trench coat
[22:22:18] <chromas> "psst, hey kid, wanna take the edge off?"
[22:27:46] <mechanicjay> Yeah, not worth the risk. I should have just sold them to a couple of losers at work.
[22:28:21] <mechanicjay> But, I don't really feel comfortable enabling others' self-destruction, so I chucked 'em.
