[00:03] hey itnet [00:59] hey there Chloric ! [01:06] hows it going? [01:06] i had a question [01:10] go ahead [01:10] sorry for the delay catching up on some stuff in the background [01:10] thats ok man, [01:11] and i was wondering if you were doing anything LoCo related during thanksgiving week. im going up for 10 days [01:11] i'll be in Orlando no less [01:11] going up? [01:11] Oh [01:11] cool!! [01:11] so if your throwing anything LoCo related, i could catch up [01:12] cool, I am not sure, usually I try not to do anything around major (family related) holidays [01:12] but if you eat Turkey... '=_ [01:12] oops [01:12] that was supposed to be: :-P [01:13] We could hang out regardless [01:13] thats cool and for sure [01:13] i'll be in my teepee for those ten days :p [01:13] Oh! [01:13] cool [01:14] so we could meet up any time i [01:15] Awesome! [01:16] http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2010/11/how-to-install-and-play-popular-game.html <----- Sweet! [01:17] oh, i dont know if you were on last night, but i was using a Wacom bamboo tablet with Ubuntu [01:17] there were a ton of conversations about it on here [01:17] i used my girlfriends and i was using it as a mouse the whole night [01:17] Oh, I'll have to read the backlog [01:17] nice! [01:17] everything worked except for the FN1 and FN2 button [01:18] Did the gui configuration detect it? [01:18] nope, nothing. it worked right out of the box, i never messed with any program [01:19] i plugged it in and it all worked [01:19] scrolling, gestures, right clicking, drag and drop, and changing work spaces [01:20] Cool, I was just thinkin that you might be able to bind those non-working FN1 and FN2 buttons with the app. potentially [01:20] yeah, those were Corel specific buttons [01:20] brb gonna test the install to see if that "True Combat Elite" mod shows up in game [01:20] i couldve done so, but i was having fun with it [01:21] i was using GIMP [01:25] They are really cool [01:25] That install was flawless, can't play the mod online, because I never entered my CD key [01:30] what mod? [01:38] Hey there Bryanstein ! [01:39] Chloric: the "True Elite Combat" Mod [01:40] but you need to have the key from Enemy Territory: the Original one [01:40] OH, forgot i opened that link... playing minecraft and listening to music lol [01:40] :-P [01:40] the graphics look amazing [01:41] brb, gonna try it again since I just found me key :-) [01:42] ok [14:28] hello [14:30] I'm looking for some americans :P [14:33] * mhall119 is american [14:33] what's up Gyndawyr [14:33] I've taken 3 SAT subject tests: literature, biology, and math level 1. [14:33] SAT? [14:34] Can I retake the ones I did bad in to improve my score? [14:34] yeah, I think you can take them as many times as you're willing to pay for them [14:34] yay [14:34] I'm not sure if colleges look at all the scores, or just the latest, or just the highest [14:35] because I want to keep my good scores in literature and biology, but erase any history of my awful marks in math [14:35] do you know anything about the literacy test at all? [14:36] man, it's been a decade since I took my SATs [14:36] maybe MichelleQ1 has some insight into those [14:36] Gyndawyr: the college will look at *all* scores submitted from one test - so, say you took it July 2010 - they'll look at all the marks for all the subjects from that test. [14:36] * Gyndawyr points to young person [14:37] but I don't want to keep all my scores [14:37] just the good ones [14:37] I know - unfortunately it doesn't work that way [14:37] what you'll want to do is submit your highest test in general [14:38] I'll be damned if I have to sit through literature again -_- [14:38] also, I'll have to get loads of math tuition [14:38] hahaha, having a rough time with the ilterature sections? [14:38] where are you trying to go to school at? [14:39] when something is open to interpretation and prettymuch all of the answers are valid, it becomes difficult to select one out of five on the multiple choice [14:39] this is true - literature is very hard to objectively test [14:39] I'm british english, but I want to move to MIT for my graduate year in university [14:40] ok - call MIT and ask for an admissions counselor. They'd be the best to tell you how to submit your scores [14:40] maybe you can get an ESOL exception ;) [14:41] if what you said is true, the best way to submit my scores would be to re-take the exams after I have some sort of education in how to pass the bloody things :) [14:41] there are all sorts of SAT guides out there [14:41] the average scores are in the 750 region for people at MIT :S [14:42] I'd offer to help you study, but it's been years since I've sat for them. I am around though, regularly, should you need some generalized literature help [14:42] if I have to submit my awful grades along with my good ones, I'd probably be better off resitting the subjects I'm good at along with the ones I failed previously [14:42] that's what I'd suggest [14:43] odds are, your good subjects will remain high, but you'd have a chance to improve your low scores. [14:43] biology felt so easy :D - maybe it's because I've covered most of the material recently [14:43] I literally guessed 40 out of 50 questions on the math paper [14:43] yeah, I'm sure I'd fail spectacularly if I sat for the SATs again. [14:44] you're older than I expected :) [14:44] If you haven't already, you might want to sit for the ACTs, too - they're generally easier. [14:44] * MichelleQ1 knocks on 30. [14:44] * Gyndawyr is 19 next week [14:45] I know I should remember my education but I have poor memory and it was 4 years ago since I was in math class [14:46] I sucked at math in high school - I can't imagine I'd been any better at it now. [14:46] I don't think I'm bad at it as much as I don't enjoy it [14:47] Why are you headed to MIT? Comp-sci? [14:48] I plan to go somewhere relatively local for the moment [14:48] manchester university or similar [14:48] my grades aren't very good so I don't know what place I'll get [14:49] I plan to study biology or engineering. I hope to transfer to MIT - bio-engineering when I've done the first part of my degree [14:49] ah, ok. [14:49] for not enjoying math, you sure are picking two subjects that are going to require a lot of it [14:49] imagine what you could do with the ability to program DNA ;) [14:49] * MichelleQ1 wanted to go into molecular biology [14:49] even though I hate programming it sounds like something I would do [14:50] and then I failed calculus. [14:50] yeah, I've read several articles about molecular computers and such [14:50] why didn't you Michelle? [14:50] can't math. [14:50] :D [14:50] So I majored in English Lit instead. [14:51] eugh... I hated math and chemistry. But I've always been naturally good with computers and biology :/ [14:52] putting it together is fine, it's just programming the thing I'm no good with [14:52] I found I was good with anything that could be explained to me in concrete terms. But when it came to theoretical math, ... no. [14:53] hahahahaha I had to learn "don't ask questions" when it comes to education in general [14:54] otherwise you end up asking "why does gravity only attract?" or "how does energy go through a vaccum?" [14:54] Yeah, that was my problem... and I couldn't deal with 'just don't ask' [14:54] well the second is kind of a misconception, but the answer to the first is still "We have no clue" [14:55] that's part of the reason why I went into literature - I could manipulate the texts as I saw fit, and make the answers my own. [14:55] I think too many professors of the "hard" sciences are unwilling to admit that nobody in their field knows the answer to something [15:46] mhall119: ping [15:56] itnet7: pong [15:56] but I'm about to leave for the hardware store [15:59] be back later [16:03] lol [16:03] sorry [16:08] bbiab [19:13] itnet7: ping [19:14] itnet7: what is the version of irssi that had that perl module you were talking about, and which is is the one it didn't have it anymore [22:44] Headed back home. :-( [22:52] RoAkSoAx: let me doublecheck [22:54] itnet7: ok cool, we'll try to see if it was a packaging error :) [22:56] itnet7: test [22:57] I can't find the same stuff I was seeing [22:58] notify.pl loaded, but my notifications are not forwarding through X [22:58] hello florida [22:58] itnet7: so it's prolly something with the packaging [23:02] RoAkSoAx: if you were to type: /unload perl, then try to /LOAD perl you will get the following error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/527882/ [23:02] When I tried to compile irssi myself and point it to by perl libraries it would not let me compile in perl support [23:04] itnet7: seems like a known bug [23:08] itnet7: and a packging error probably [23:12] itnet7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639260 [23:14] itnet7: but according to what I'm reading it says that you can unload perl, but you can't reload it [23:15] itnet7: but if you could give me the versions of the packages would be easier to investigate [23:37] RoAkSoAx: Unfortunately I don't have any thing running the previous versions, let me check it out in a bit, I am going through my e-mail and getting caught up a bit [23:44] itnet7: ok if you remember the version you had before and which version you upadted to that thad the problem would be useful
