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