MutantTurkey | what the hell lenovo, it's a 1200 dollar laptop. it shouldn't break in 3 weeks | 13:13 |
JonathanD | :( | 13:14 |
JonathanD | Whats wrong with it? | 13:14 |
MutantTurkey | the screen/lid is coming apart | 13:18 |
JonathanD | now thats just fail. | 13:18 |
MutantTurkey | let me upload pics h/o | 13:19 |
jedijf | karma, it got broken at that protest thingy | 13:20 |
MutantTurkey | jedijf: it didn't even leave the bag | 13:21 |
MutantTurkey | it broke when I opened the lit | 13:21 |
jedijf | but regardless, that sucks *bigtime* | 13:22 |
MutantTurkey | it just cracked | 13:22 |
MutantTurkey | I wasn't applying ridiculous pressure on it | 13:22 |
MutantTurkey | http://imgur.com/nRWa5,Ycm8G#1 | 13:22 |
MutantTurkey | http://imgur.com/nRWa5,Ycm8G#0 | 13:22 |
MutantTurkey | see pictures | 13:22 |
MutantTurkey | jedijf: ^ | 13:23 |
jedijf | that doesn't look like a breadk, looks more like it's coming apart whre it's supposed to if you need to replace lcd | 13:24 |
jedijf | reshoot that 0 one, the 1 one looks like bezel separating | 13:24 |
MutantTurkey | thats wha tI thought at one | 13:25 |
MutantTurkey | thats wha tI thought at first | 13:25 |
MutantTurkey | but actually the way to replace the lcd is different | 13:25 |
MutantTurkey | I , i looked at the driections | 13:25 |
MutantTurkey | sorry, konversation acting up. | 13:26 |
MutantTurkey | At first I thought that was it, I read the hardware manual and it isn't how you replac ethe screen | 13:26 |
jedijf | is there any crack, which wasn't part of their design? | 13:27 |
jedijf | did you try 'snapping' it back in place? | 13:27 |
MutantTurkey | nope | 13:27 |
MutantTurkey | I don't want to risk it. | 13:27 |
MutantTurkey | because its only one side | 13:28 |
jedijf | haha ok, it's new | 13:30 |
MutantTurkey | any ideas | 13:30 |
MutantTurkey | i posted on the lenovo forums | 13:30 |
jedijf | it seems that the bezel (albeit an odd spot) just opened....usually bezel opening feels like you're going to break it | 13:30 |
jedijf | i would snap it back, but it's not mine, and most of my equipment looks like that anyway | 13:31 |
jedijf | so what's in that part of the plastic? speakers? | 13:31 |
MutantTurkey | nothing | 13:32 |
jedijf | webcam? | 13:33 |
MutantTurkey | maybe acess to the webcam | 13:33 |
MutantTurkey | yes | 13:33 |
MutantTurkey | thats it | 13:33 |
jedijf | so prolly webcam and mic | 13:33 |
jedijf | snap it back | 13:33 |
MutantTurkey | mics at bottom | 13:33 |
MutantTurkey | by keys | 13:33 |
MutantTurkey | it won't snap back | 13:34 |
MutantTurkey | nothing to snap into. | 13:34 |
MutantTurkey | it's sort of just wobbling there | 13:34 |
jedijf | start at edge where it's still attached and ziplock baggy it | 13:34 |
MutantTurkey | ? | 13:34 |
jedijf | apply front and back pressure where it's still attached, and slide that pressure along the opening, resealing the bezel | 13:35 |
jedijf | like the children do, when they assemble it | 13:36 |
MobileTurkey | jedijf: reading forums. known issue = covered under warranty = i can send back | 13:40 |
jedijf | do that | 13:45 |
MobileTurkey | will do | 13:47 |
MobileTurkey | class is up, be back later | 13:47 |
InHisName | So he's gonna have to send it back. Too bad there wasn't an exchange place for Lenovo s locally. | 14:17 |
InHisName | Boy ! you Unity haters have it easy ! Didja see the new Win8 layout yet ? Whew ! I think I like unity much better than that ! Took me 40 minutes of reading on how to shutdown. Ugggh. | 14:19 |

musetux | 7.04, and this is the first time I'm meeting local users. I look forward to meeting some of you the 13th and becoming more active in the Ubuntu community in the future. | 17:31 |
MutantTurkeyX | hey | 17:32 |
MutantTurkeyX | musetux: it's much more fun when you meet all these, uh characters | 17:32 |
musetux | Im pretty Stoked! Im kinda tired of being the one explaining Linux, OpenSource, Ubuntu, etc | 17:33 |
MutantTurkeyX | yeah | 17:33 |
MutantTurkeyX | it is nice to be among fellow people who understand what you are talking about xD | 17:33 |
musetux | swaping ideas, and learning from other users is how i seem to learn the fastest. plus the overall community concept is refreshing theses days. | 17:37 |
beta0x64_ | Am I the only one that has a hard time making pretty looking buttons in GIMP? :( | 17:37 |
beta0x64_ | read: I suck at graphic design. | 17:38 |
knightzero | beta0x64_: You are not alone. | 17:38 |
beta0x64_ | knightzero: This makes web design an uphill battle | 17:38 |
* beta0x64_ slaps beta0x64 | 17:38 | |
MutantTurkeyX | dude, pretty buttons are not the key to good design... | 17:39 |
beta0x64_ | They sure bring it together. | 17:39 |
MutantTurkeyX | you need FLASHING scrolling marquee's following the mouse.. | 17:39 |
MutantTurkeyX | right? | 17:39 |
MutantTurkeyX | and blinking backgrounds | 17:39 |
beta0x64_ | I use PHP and Blueprint CSS | 17:39 |
beta0x64_ | oh snap you're right. that'll totally spruce up my portfolio | 17:39 |
MutantTurkeyX | indeed | 17:39 |
knightzero | MutantTurkeyX: content creation and seisures go hand in hand. | 17:40 |
MutantTurkeyX | hehe | 17:40 |
beta0x64_ | I'm overwhelmed. | 17:40 |
=== MutantTurkeyX is now known as MobileTurkey | ||
beta0x64_ | I don't know if I should go with something like apache tomcat or django or cakephp or fuck it and go embedded systems | 17:40 |
beta0x64_ | sorry language | 17:40 |
MobileTurkey | I hate CMS's... they are trolls | 17:41 |
beta0x64_ | I need to learn them for $$$ | 17:41 |
MobileTurkey | but I don't know much abut django | 17:41 |
musetux | Im just starting Django, it's pretty sweet! | 17:41 |
teddy-dbear | no potty mouth around the teddy bear :-/ | 17:41 |
beta0x64_ | yes. | 17:42 |
beta0x64_ | I am a CS student and a bit overwhelmed at what I should do | 17:42 |
beta0x64_ | I've been programming for years, but I have commitment issues | 17:42 |
MobileTurkey | I am a education student, but i should be a programming student | 17:42 |
beta0x64_ | what do :( | 17:42 |
MobileTurkey | what do? | 17:43 |
beta0x64_ | what do I do? | 17:43 |
MobileTurkey | quit your job, move to alaska, profit. | 17:44 |
musetux | My 2 cents: find the language you find most comfortable with and master it, make it you B!$@h. then spreadout from there | 17:45 |
MobileTurkey | learn C | 17:47 |
MobileTurkey | always learn C | 17:47 |
MobileTurkey | you can learn wishy washy languages like python and ruby later, but you should understand *how* and *why* certain things operate | 17:47 |
MobileTurkey | as an exersize | 17:48 |
knightzero | MobileTurkey: how different is C++ from C - C++ is the next programming course I have in my roster this year, just wondering how useful it will be. | 17:48 |
MobileTurkey | C++ is usefuly | 17:49 |
MobileTurkey | but also much more complicated imho | 17:49 |
beta0x64_ | fudge | 17:49 |
MobileTurkey | it's easy to start with though | 17:49 |
MobileTurkey | it just has many entities | 17:50 |
MobileTurkey | http://harm.cat-v.org/ | 17:50 |
MobileTurkey | whoops | 17:50 |
MobileTurkey | http://harmful.cat-v.org | 17:50 |
MobileTurkey | has some quotes about C++ | 17:50 |
knightzero | The dean of my program scholded me for taking a Visual Basic course to start out....not that they offered me anything else on the first day. | 17:50 |
MobileTurkey | there ya go: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/ | 17:51 |
MobileTurkey | VB is uh... | 17:51 |
MobileTurkey | lol | 17:51 |
knightzero | yeah, that's what I've heard from just about everyone else. | 17:51 |
MobileTurkey | C++, it's like nailing legs on an dog to make an octopus | 17:51 |
knightzero | I'm not sure whether to be excited or frightened by some of these statements. | 17:52 |
MobileTurkey | I dunno | 17:53 |
MobileTurkey | I have to work with C++ and i find it to be less concise and more confusing. | 17:54 |
MobileTurkey | there are nice tutorials on the internet though | 17:54 |
jedijf | musetux: welcome, can't wait to meet you at the release party | 18:02 |
jedijf | beta0x64: i liked the 'comfort' statement, it's more about the driver than the vehicle | 18:05 |
