| greg-g | brousch: just mom and dad so far :) | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| rick_h__ | Blazeix: yea, went to the store tonight. They're out of them. Last one they didn't accidentally sell is "reserved for demo" | 00:35 |
| rick_h__ | Blazeix: so I think I'm down to just freaking website'ing it and overnight | 00:36 |
| snap-l | God, no matter what Caribou we go to, there's always someone doing some fucking MLM bullshit. | 01:16 |
| snap-l | I can smell the bullshit pitches a mile away. | 01:19 |
| greg-g | MLM? | 01:30 |
| _stink_ | i had to google it too | 01:36 |
| _stink_ | but yeah, sounds about right | 01:36 |
| _stink_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing | 01:37 |
| snap-l | Yep | 01:37 |
| snap-l | Usually a younger woman trying to make a hard sell | 01:37 |
| snap-l | talking about how much of a cut they can make on something | 01:37 |
| snap-l | Like one time when we were at the Madison Heights store, and this girl was trying to sell long distance service or some shit. | 01:38 |
| jcastro | rick_h__: yo | 01:58 |
| greg-g | wearing a babybjorn at the keyboard really tests your touch typing :) | 02:30 |
| rick_h__ | jcastro: dude | 02:53 |
| rick_h__ | greg-g: babyjorn ftw! | 02:53 |
| rick_h__ | greg-g: loved mine, but doesn't last as long as you'd hope for | 02:53 |
| snap-l | :wq | 03:01 |
| snap-l | bah | 03:01 |
| rick_h__ | yes, I stayed up until the 1am galaxy nexus release | 06:02 |
| rick_h__ | sleepy... | 06:02 |
| Wolfger | LOL @ rick_h__ | 12:12 |
| Wolfger | Morning | 12:12 |
| rick_h__ | morning | 12:12 |
| Wolfger | Did the Nexus actually get released? | 12:12 |
| rick_h__ | yes, finally | 12:12 |
| rick_h__ | now the wait for the tracking number begins | 12:12 |
| Wolfger | was it worth staying up for? | 12:12 |
| rick_h__ | rumor is that if you got next day air, and ordered at 1am, it'll arrive friday | 12:13 |
| rick_h__ | if it arrives today...yes...else no | 12:13 |
| Wolfger | Only a coder would phrase that as if..then..else | 12:17 |
| snap-l | Did you heaar that FedEx went on strike? | 13:18 |
| rick_h__ | :P | 13:18 |
| Wolfger | hahahahaha! | 13:20 |
| Wolfger | snap-l: you are mean | 13:20 |
| snap-l | I'm not mean. :) | 13:20 |
| snap-l | http://openmetalcast.com/2011/12/15/open-metalcast-special-episode-happy-holidays-2011/ | 13:21 |
| snap-l | Please just listen to the first minute if you don't want the rest of the episode | 13:21 |
| rick_h__ | snap-l: lol | 13:23 |
| rick_h__ | A+ | 13:23 |
| snap-l | rick_h__: Thanks. :) | 13:23 |
| brousch | for your entertainment, my error message of the day: http://paste.mitechie.com/show/473/ | 15:12 |
| _stink_ | lulz | 15:13 |
| rick_h__ | nice one | 15:15 |
| snap-l | brousch: This is a notification that the author of the software that produced this file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF specification. | 15:15 |
| brousch | even adobe reader X was choking on it, so it really was messed up | 15:17 |
| brousch | that message is from imagemagick/ghostscript though | 15:18 |
| rick_h__ | http://barry.warsaw.us/software/laws.html | 15:20 |
| snap-l | jcastro: Dr. Frick is bringing his machine over to my house on Saturday. :) | 15:22 |
| snap-l | Apparently the latest upgrade boofed his machine. | 15:22 |
| jcastro | oh? | 15:23 |
| jcastro | frick is awesome | 15:23 |
| snap-l | Yeah, I know | 15:23 |
| snap-l | Apparently he was at your wedding too. :) | 15:23 |
| snap-l | So I'll do my best to get it sorted. | 15:24 |
| brousch | nice name | 15:25 |
| brousch | almost as good as Dr. Pepper, who teaches non-human primates at U-M | 15:25 |
| * Wolfger taps the glass. "Is this thing back on now?" | 15:27 | |
| snap-l | Wolfger: wb | 15:27 |
| Wolfger | woot | 15:28 |
| Wolfger | So before I lost my connection, I was about to comment on a BoingBoing story about Higgs Boson particles... | 15:29 |
| Wolfger | Is it just me, or does "gigaelectronvolts" sound completely made up? | 15:29 |
| brousch | just you | 15:29 |
| Wolfger | ...and not at all like a unit of measurement for *mass* | 15:29 |
| _stink_ | it's so fun to say! | 15:29 |
| snap-l | Sounds like something from a 1950s sci fi serial | 15:29 |
| snap-l | "And now I shall unleash the power of my megatron laser and fill the Earth with gigaelectronvolts of pure HATE" | 15:30 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: IT's a measurement of energy, iirc. | 15:31 |
| snap-l | and by iirc, I mean wikipedia. | 15:32 |
| snap-l | and I'm being corrected in-house. | 15:32 |
| snap-l | You should all have an in-home Physicist. Makes things so much easier. | 15:33 |
| Wolfger | http://boingboing.net/2011/12/15/3-things-can-teach-you.html | 15:35 |
| Wolfger | ^ the referenced article | 15:36 |
| Wolfger | I would love to have an in-home physicist. | 15:36 |
| Wolfger | also an in-home pharmacist | 15:37 |
| brousch | the internets are in your home | 15:37 |
| Wolfger | only one measly wire of the internet :-p | 15:39 |
| Wolfger | well, and some 3G signals of it I suppose | 15:39 |
| snap-l | All hail the wire and the wireless. | 15:39 |
| _stink_ | man, i have to admit | 15:43 |
| _stink_ | this is a really good article. | 15:43 |
| _stink_ | hooray for decent science writing. | 15:43 |
| snap-l | _stink_: Yeah, it's a rare thing nowadays | 15:43 |
| Wolfger | Interesting idea for a chair. I'm actually tempted to get one. http://www.amazon.com/Health-Mark-BT20000-Swiss-Chair/dp/B000X1O066 | 15:44 |
| snap-l | I think several of our ranks have tried that chair | 15:45 |
| snap-l | or something similar. | 15:45 |
| rick_h__ | Wolfger: I've got a ball I use some | 15:45 |
| rick_h__ | lot cheaper | 15:45 |
| rick_h__ | yes, missing out on the legs to really keep it in one place, but meh | 15:46 |
| Wolfger | Waitaminute.... they have a version that has a back... and it's cheaper? Something not right about that. | 15:46 |
| rick_h__ | lol | 15:47 |
| Wolfger | Ah, different brand. Not sure I'd want a back on it anyway. | 15:47 |
| Wolfger | but now I'm thinking, that base should be fairly cheap and easy to make. | 15:48 |
| Wolfger | $10 set of caster, maybe | 15:49 |
| Wolfger | would be uglier, but who is ever going to see it? | 15:49 |
| snap-l | http://www.amazon.com/Isokinetics-Inc-Brand-Exercise-Ball/dp/B000YJMAYQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t | 15:50 |
| snap-l | I swear, I want to throttle everyone that makes a site that only works with IE. | 16:11 |
| mydogsname1srudy | IE is the best | 16:12 |
| Wolfger | snap-l: I support your endeavor and will attempt to land a spot on any jury that hears your case. | 16:18 |
| snap-l | heh | 16:30 |
| mydogsname1srudy | upgrading my precise | 16:39 |
| snap-l | OK, this is more like it | 16:43 |
| snap-l | rather than requiring me to ship three boxes of equipment to IT, I can just take it over to UPS and they'll box it and ship it. | 16:44 |
| snap-l | at their expense. | 16:44 |
| snap-l | <3 | 16:44 |
| mydogsname1srudy | so if there going to do all the work , what do we pay you to do | 16:45 |
| Wolfger | we pay him? | 16:46 |
| mydogsname1srudy | doh | 16:46 |
| snap-l | Now seeing Galaxy Nexus ads. | 18:39 |
| rick_h__ | heh, Blazeix got his | 18:40 |
| snap-l | Also, apparently you're a douchebag if you own a Windows Phone. :) | 18:44 |
| rick_h__ | works for me | 18:45 |
| brousch | anyone use miro? | 18:51 |
| snap-l | brousch: Yeah, I do | 18:51 |
| brousch | any good? | 18:52 |
| snap-l | I like it | 18:52 |
| snap-l | It works for what I need it to do | 18:52 |
| brousch | it converts to android? | 18:52 |
| snap-l | Apparently? | 18:52 |
| snap-l | Never used it. | 18:52 |
| brousch | so i can push videos to my nookcolor? | 18:52 |
| snap-l | It has several options for converting to different phones / tablets | 18:53 |
| brousch | i want to replace my TV viewing with the big-ass backlog of online videos i want to watch | 18:53 |
| snap-l | Yeah, I use it on my local machine for viewing | 18:54 |
| brousch | but i need a central place to queue them | 18:54 |
| snap-l | I'm sure all it does is just transcode using ffmpeg or the like | 18:54 |
| Wolfger | snap-l: Did you buy a Windows phone? | 18:54 |
| brousch | and preferably watch on my nook so i don't have to lug my laptop everywhere | 18:54 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: No, I got you one for the holidays | 18:55 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: But you spoiled the surprise, so now I have to send it back | 18:55 |
| snap-l | I hope you're happy. | 18:55 |
| Wolfger | brousch: That's sad. We've gotten to the point where laptops are too cumbersome to take with us and we need to replace them with smaller devices. | 18:56 |
| Wolfger | snap-l: I am happy. That was a close call. Glad I spoke up! :-) | 18:56 |
| rick_h__ | buy a smaller laptop...problem solved | 18:57 |
| rick_h__ | heh, wife found out I'm tired because I stayed up past 1am to "order a stupid phone" | 18:58 |
| Wolfger | ROFL | 18:58 |
| rick_h__ | "you're not getting any sympathy from me, that's just stupid!" | 18:58 |
| Wolfger | she's got a point | 18:58 |
| Wolfger | the point possibly being "you should have lied about why you are tired" | 18:59 |
| rick_h__ | nah, got in enough trouble because, while I told her for a while I'd be getting it in dec, she didn't realize I was going to lay out $$ for it atm | 19:00 |
| brousch | well a 8lb laptop with a spinning HD is much more cumbersome than a 1.5lb tablet with flash memory | 19:00 |
| Wolfger | weakling. | 19:00 |
| brousch | i want to jump in the car and go to lunch, not shut down all my stuff, pack up my bag, and then unpack at the restaurant | 19:01 |
| Wolfger | That's what phones are for. | 19:01 |
| Wolfger | Wolfger: that's sad. We've gotten to the point where phones are no longer existing for the purpose of making phone calls. Also sad that you're talking to yourself. | 19:02 |
| brousch | but sometimes i want to read, sometimes watch videos. nook is better for both of those | 19:04 |
| brousch | better than my crusty old droid1 anyways | 19:04 |
| Wolfger | brousch: Bah, I say. At least until xmas, when I get my Kindle and then pronounce my phone an inferior reading device. | 19:08 |
| brousch | heh | 19:10 |
| brousch | wow, python code is right on the front page of khan academy http://www.khanacademy.org/#browse | 19:11 |
| rick_h__ | because python rules! | 19:11 |
| Wolfger | Looks like Buzz was murdered while I slept. :-( | 19:12 |
| snap-l | the butler did it | 19:12 |
| Wolfger | I was on it just last night. Today, no sign of the corpse. | 19:12 |
| snap-l | It has ascended | 19:13 |
| Wolfger | At least I'm back on Plus again, sort of... | 19:13 |
| brousch | hm, miro is not what i need. it is good for finding new content, but i want to queue up content i already have picked out | 19:25 |
| rick_h__ | for snap-l http://twitter.com/#!/pumpichank/status/147396710338019328 | 19:26 |
| brousch | i want to do something like subscribe to a tag on bookie and have it pull those down | 19:26 |
| snap-l | Ooooh, that's nice. | 19:28 |
| brousch | rick_h__: is that possible? does bmark.us have an RSS feed for a tag? | 19:28 |
| rick_h__ | brousch: no rss atm, it does have an api youi can search with that will hit a tag | 19:29 |
| brousch | hm | 19:29 |
| snap-l | Nice, like those old Music - 1 tapes | 19:30 |
| snap-l | save for using the actual master tapes, and not sucking. | 19:30 |
| snap-l | No drums for YYZ, though. ;) | 19:33 |
| snap-l | http://jammit.com/store/drums | 19:36 |
| snap-l | Check out the Buddy Rich song "Love for Sale" | 19:36 |
| brousch | damnit. surely this must exist | 19:39 |
| brousch | i just want a combined netflix/youtube/vimeo queue | 19:41 |
| snap-l | brousch: Good luck with that. | 19:41 |
| brousch | why does that not exist? | 19:41 |
| snap-l | Well, Youtube does RSS | 19:42 |
| brousch | i paste a link to the video in the service and it keeps track of what the damn queue | 19:42 |
| snap-l | That's how I follow that queue | 19:42 |
| snap-l | and netflix just takes care of itself. | 19:42 |
| brousch | but why is there no startup that lets me do it for any service? | 19:42 |
| snap-l | As of August 24th 2011, we no longer have permission to redistribute new | 19:43 |
| snap-l | Java packages as Oracle has retired the “Operating System Distributor | 19:43 |
| snap-l | License for Java” [1][2]. | 19:43 |
| brousch | so i can see all of my queues in one unified place | 19:43 |
| snap-l | Oh that's just AWESOME | 19:43 |
| snap-l | Due to the severity of the security risk, Canonical is immediately | 19:44 |
| snap-l | releasing a security update for the Sun JDK browser plugin which will | 19:44 |
| snap-l | disable the plugin on all machines. This will mitigate users' risk from | 19:44 |
| snap-l | malicious websites exploiting the vulnerable version of the Sun JDK. | 19:44 |
| brousch | wtf | 19:44 |
| snap-l | I wish I could give Oracle a larger shotgun so it could blow their feet clean off. | 19:44 |
| brousch | so operating systems cannot distribute java any more? | 19:49 |
| snap-l | but hey, it means OpenJDK is essentially it when it comes to Linux | 19:49 |
| snap-l | Can't distribute the Sun Packages. | 19:49 |
| snap-l | And I wouldn't be surprised if there's talk at some point of making the official packages part of their commercial initiative. | 19:50 |
| brousch | i think i actually stopped using sun-jdk after 10.04 | 19:51 |
| snap-l | I have it on some VMs for Eclipse testing | 19:51 |
| snap-l | but I'm using OpenJDK otherwise. | 19:51 |
| brousch | eclipse works with openjdk | 19:51 |
| snap-l | Yes, but I wanted as few differences as possible | 19:52 |
| Wolfger | snap-l: I know you like p.se, so here's your idiocy of the day: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/38987/whats-worse-paying-for-bad-software-or-pirating-good-software | 19:52 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: Thanks, my head hadn't hit my desk nearly as hard up until this point | 19:53 |
| snap-l | Solution: Post on p.se and do neither. Problem solved. – CraigM | 19:54 |
| snap-l | God, that's a stupid question | 19:55 |
| Wolfger | I particularly like the part where he effectively says "don't offer me any real solutions, just pick A or B from the options I've prepared" | 20:00 |
| brousch | son of a bitch. my tim horton's opened today and i missed it | 20:01 |
| Wolfger | brousch: Psst. It's still "today" for several more hours... | 20:03 |
| snap-l | jcastro: http://i.imgur.com/uyxfU.jpg <-Here's my new Slayer Wallpaper. ;) | 20:04 |
| brousch | yeah, tim horton's is for breakfast | 20:05 |
| brousch | snap-l: it looks like speakers | 20:06 |
| snap-l | brousch: Did you see the Big 4 concert? | 20:06 |
| brousch | no | 20:06 |
| snap-l | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ls7P_shqBc | 20:07 |
| snap-l | Look at their stage set-up | 20:07 |
| brousch | looks loud | 20:10 |
| snap-l | Yeah, the other bands had these elaborate stages | 20:10 |
| snap-l | and Slayer just showed up with a semi full of Marshall Stacks | 20:11 |
| snap-l | Commented on that when jcastro was showing me the Big Four concert | 20:11 |
| jcastro | yeah | 20:12 |
| jcastro | they never change | 20:12 |
| jcastro | wall of marshalls | 20:12 |
| snap-l | I swear, if they ever did change, they'd probably get death threats. | 20:13 |
| ColonelPanic001 | don't be absurd | 21:14 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I would never threaten anyone that looks like Kerry King. | 21:15 |
| brousch | never? even if they were eating your precious cats? | 21:16 |
| snap-l | Yay, Comcast is raising prices | 21:21 |
| snap-l | Wow, installing networking went from $75 to $119 | 21:22 |
| brousch | does anyone actually pay for that? | 21:24 |
| brousch | i've always had it waived | 21:24 |
| snap-l | Well, they also added a $10 fee to send you the kit. | 21:26 |
| snap-l | Doing everything in their power to squeeze a dime | 21:26 |
| jcastro | snap-l: | 21:56 |
| jcastro | I need your help | 21:56 |
| jcastro | I can't find anything about this | 21:56 |
| jcastro | we need to find out if Metallica Binge and Purge was filmed on .... film | 21:56 |
| jcastro | instead of tape | 21:56 |
| snap-l | Hmm. | 21:57 |
| jcastro | so I can be sure that someday there might be hope for it coming out in 1080p | 21:57 |
| snap-l | I doubt it | 21:57 |
| snap-l | I think that shit was video tape | 21:57 |
| jcastro | but like, most of the new concert films that are coming out are from the 1970's and come out looking awesome | 21:58 |
| jcastro | they were huge when it was filmed, I am hoping it's really on real film | 21:58 |
| snap-l | Check IMDB | 21:58 |
| snap-l | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202456/fullcredits#cast | 21:58 |
| snap-l | It might have been filed after all | 21:58 |
| snap-l | filmed, even | 21:58 |
| snap-l | Jeff Richter ....camera operator: super 8 | 21:59 |
| snap-l | so, it's still shitty film, but film nonetheless. | 21:59 |
| snap-l | at least for some of it | 21:59 |
| snap-l | Layna McAllister ....film loader | 21:59 |
| snap-l | Yep, film | 21:59 |
| snap-l | Though they'd also have to make sure to have kept that film safe | 22:00 |
| snap-l | jcastro: ^^ | 22:01 |
| jcastro | yep | 22:02 |
| jcastro | snap-l: it'll be 4:3 but still | 22:03 |
| snap-l | It'll be 1989 Metallica, but still. ;) | 22:03 |
| snap-l | (that would be awesome) | 22:03 |
| snap-l | jcastro: You don't happen to have Cliff 'em All, do you? | 22:05 |
| snap-l | jcastro: You need this in Blu-Ray: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELpmmeT69cE | 22:07 |
| snap-l | Oh God, this video is terrible | 22:08 |
| snap-l | Not sure what the hell the animal part is all about | 22:09 |
| snap-l | I really hate the effects on this video: http://vimeo.com/14420598 | 22:24 |
