| andrew | Anyone else remember the days before modern browsers had the ability to undo the closing of a tab? | 01:57 |
|---|---|---|
| rmg51 | I remember the days when you got a bowser from your ISP :-D | 01:58 |
| andrew | But how am I supposed to surf the web without aol? | 01:59 |

| andrew | *cringes knowing that there are still people like that* | 02:00 |
| andrew | Actually, I'm looking forward to using teachparentstech.com | 02:00 |
| MutantTurkey | andrew: what about those days? | 02:01 |
| andrew | I just take for granted how easy ctrl+shift+t has made my life, that I often forget about the struggle that used to occur. | 02:02 |
| rmg51 | and of course everyone remembers that it was Microsoft that came up with the idea for tabbed browsing :-/ | 02:02 |
| andrew | Dear wise men of this channel, what year did the first keyboards come out with the windows key? | 02:04 |
| rmg51 | where would we be if not for Internet Explorer | 02:04 |
| andrew | (I'm too young to remember.) | 02:04 |
| MutantTurkey | andrew: i still haven't implemented that into my browser | 02:05 |
| pleia2 | andrew: am I allowed to answer? | 02:06 |
| MutantTurkey | i haven't quite figured out how. | 02:06 |
| andrew | MutantTurkey: implemented what? | 02:06 |
| andrew | pleia2: sure | 02:06 |
| MutantTurkey | reopening closed tabs | 02:06 |
| andrew | Dear wise folk* of this channel, what year did the first keyboards come out with the windows key? | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | they started coming out with win95 | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | so 94ish? I don't know exactly | 02:06 |
| andrew | pleia2: so, 95, or 94 | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | pretty sure | 02:06 |
| andrew | i knew win95 was the start of it, but I don't recall the year | 02:07 |
| MutantTurkey | i free all the memory of a tab when it closes in my browsers, so i'm not sure exactly how i would go about re-opening them. I'd have to save it to a disk cache or something | 02:07 |
| pleia2 | that's when it became standard anyway, weird keyboards may have had them earlier | 02:07 |
| andrew | MutantTurkey: ctrl+shift+t | 02:07 |
| pleia2 | win95 was the first windows to have a start menu though, which is the purpose of the win key | 02:07 |

| PennBot | Title: Windows key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | rmg51: ah, nice | 02:08 |
| andrew | I like the "Usage in non-Microsoft operating systems" section of that ^ | 02:08 |
| erstazi | pleia2: but the windows key was originally developed for win3.1 | 02:08 |
| pleia2 | "originally introduced on the Microsoft Natural Keyboard before the release of Windows 95. This key became a standard key on PC keyboards since the release of the Windows 95 operating system." | 02:08 |
| erstazi | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_key#Usage_with_Microsoft_Windows << example | 02:09 |
| PennBot | Title: Windows key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) | 02:09 |
| erstazi | they had an extension or something, if I remember correctly | 02:09 |
| * erstazi remembers win3.1 | 02:09 | |
| pleia2 | but 3.1 didn't have a start menu, what did it do? | 02:09 |
| andrew | the cube effect | 02:10 |
| pleia2 | lol | 02:10 |
| erstazi | hahaha | 02:11 |
| erstazi | pleia2: I don't remember exactly | 02:11 |
| andrew | Ok, someone fire up your vm of 3.1 that you have sitting around | 02:11 |
| * rmg51 used 3.11 | 02:11 | |
| pleia2 | http://www.michaelv.org/ ? | 02:11 |

| andrew | well aren't you fancy? | 02:11 |
| pleia2 | aw, win key no worky | 02:11 |
| andrew | winkey + scroll makes it bigger | 02:12 |
| erstazi | pleia2: maybe this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Manager | 02:12 |
| PennBot | Title: Program Manager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) | 02:12 |
| rmg51 | try ctrl+scroll | 02:16 |
| MutantTurkey | its weird. my dad gets seemingly random and sudden urges to vaccum late at night. wtf. | 03:00 |
| jedijf | he's broken | 03:01 |
| jedijf | or......is it a dyson? | 03:01 |
| MutantTurkey | i don't understand | 03:01 |
| MutantTurkey | it is a crappy generic vaccuum cleaner. | 03:01 |
| jedijf | see first answer... | 03:01 |
| andrew | Once in a while I had those feelings at college | 03:01 |
| MutantTurkey | lol he just stopped again. | 03:01 |
| MutantTurkey | :| really aggrevating while trying to watch avatar. | 03:02 |
| andrew | granted, this was like the once every 3 months when I was finally like... this place needs it | 03:02 |
| MutantTurkey | andrew: thats accceptable. | 03:02 |
| andrew | Also, 10pm isn't late, it was closer to 1am | 03:02 |
| MutantTurkey | well. but still | 03:03 |
| MutantTurkey | i have a baby sister? | 03:03 |
| andrew | My senior year I cleaned occasionally before holding 20 person meetings in the appartment | 03:03 |
| andrew | that's a question? | 03:03 |
| MutantTurkey | and extremely anal neighbors who once yelled at me for trekking the trash out to loudly | 03:03 |
| MutantTurkey | i was trying to justify why 10pm would be a bad time | 03:03 |
| erstazi | honestly, babies sleep through vacuuming | 03:03 |
| andrew | The only time babies don't sleep is when you are trying to sleep. | 03:04 |
| MutantTurkey | i wouldn't put it to a test either though | 03:04 |
| erstazi | it can even put a baby to sleep, if you vacuum | 03:04 |
| MutantTurkey | erstazi: thanks for the *great* tip | 03:04 |
| erstazi | yeah, you can tell who the new parents are when they try to be always so quiet around their newborns. They will learn that this will bite them later on! | 03:05 |
| MutantTurkey | i'll bear that in mind when i get married | 03:10 |
| erstazi | Have yinz seen the videos of kids playing with iphones? I should record my son playing with my N900. Hilarious | 03:11 |
| erstazi | He flips through the phone like a master, which is scary. | 03:12 |
| MutantTurkey | i sort of want to try out a n900 | 03:14 |
| MutantTurkey | i feel like at this point, even though i'm only 16, i've already fallen far behind the times | 03:14 |
| InHisName | Does that mean MutantTurkey is a has been already ? | 04:37 |
| andrew | jw8z$M1; | 05:30 |
| ChinnoDog | ... | 05:38 |
| andrew | apparently my computer wasn't locked... | 05:39 |
| ChinnoDog | haha | 05:39 |
| ChinnoDog | That is a very secure password | 05:39 |
| andrew | Not anymore | 05:39 |
| ChinnoDog | ok, it /was/ a very secure password | 05:40 |
| ChinnoDog | apg? | 05:40 |
| andrew | apg? | 05:41 |
| ChinnoDog | PennBot: apg is the Automated Password Generator | 05:41 |
| PennBot | Gotcha! | 05:41 |
| andrew | nope | 05:41 |
| andrew | The worst part of that was that was my password at work... | 05:44 |
| andrew | I say "was" because I *just* changed it (it was set to expire tomorrow anyways). | 05:44 |
| ChinnoDog | I already exposed my work password here awhile back. haha | 05:45 |
| ChinnoDog | I changed it asap. It sucked because I was logged into a lot of systems. | 05:45 |
| andrew | Just change it to something that is said often in here and no one will be the wiser when you accidently say it | 05:46 |
| andrew | Like to: "PennBot:" or something | 05:48 |
| andrew | it has caps, lower case, and a symbol | 05:48 |
| andrew | and no one would think twice when you accidently enter it in here | 05:48 |
| andrew | well, that fun is done | 05:53 |
| ChinnoDog | PennBot doesn't have any numbers | 06:18 |
| PennBot | Dunno! | 06:18 |
| ChinnoDog | Maybe if he were PennB0t.. | 06:19 |
| jthan | andrew: how's the cr-48? | 23:49 |
| jthan | Anyone rush out to buy a nexus S? | 23:57 |
| MutantTurkey | :[ | 23:58 |
