[01:35] <pangolin> Hey folks, my son has a computer I built for him and now suddenly all the usb ports stopped working, he is ~650 miles away so makes it a little hard for me to try and figure out what is going on. I was wondering if there was anybody in the Quakertown area who would be willing to take a look at his PC and maybe fix it?
[01:35] <pangolin> I would be willing of course to compensate fairly (not full price please)
[01:36] <pangolin> I can have his mom bring it to you also if you rather, long as it isn't to far of a drive.
[01:38] <pangolin> anyway, if anybody would be willing to take a look please ping me :)
[01:56] <JonathanD> Quakertown is a bit far from me.
[01:57] <JonathanD> pangolin: stopped working how?
[02:08] <pangolin> JonathanD: they got a new KB and Mouse wireless and they "didn't work" and when they plugged in the wired usb mouse it wouldn't work either
[02:09] <pangolin> this has been a few days and they did the whole reboot with the device plugged in thing.
[02:10] <pangolin> hard for me to give you much info to be honest.    "Everything was working fine and just stopped" is what I get from them.
[02:10] <JonathanD> ok
[02:11] <pangolin> I find it odd that all 6 ports would just stop
[02:15] <JonathanD> I do too
[02:16] <pangolin> My ex did reinstall windows but the usb ports still don't work
[02:16] <pangolin> when I  first built it I installed XP pro 32 bit and everything was working perfectly
[02:17] <pangolin> Hell if I can find the specs for it now :/
[03:26] <MutantTurkey> hey
[03:26] <MutantTurkey> anyone have any ideas how to deal with screen tearing and mplayer?
[03:26] <MutantTurkey> this is on my x220 btw
[10:15] <JonathanD> Morning.
[10:30] <rmg51> morning JonathanD
[10:30] <JonathanD> hey rmg51
[10:32] <rmg51> o/
[12:43] <waltman> Morning.
[15:01] <andrew> xkcd is up to 1000
[15:01] <andrew> nice
[15:55] <ChinnoDog> hi peeps
[15:59]  * morecheese waves.
[16:00] <morecheese> wait, "peeps" = "peers" ... I'm 27, is that valid?
[16:00] <ChinnoDog> I'm 32
[16:00] <ChinnoDog> You can be a peep
[17:20] <pleia2> that's very old for a marshmallow chick
[17:21] <ssweeny> that's when they finally start to get good
[17:21] <ssweeny> the staler the better
[17:22] <pleia2> ssweeny is in the business of fine vintage peeps
[17:22] <ssweeny> 1988 was a good year for peeps
[17:22] <rmg51> sounds like me :-/
[17:22] <jedijf> are true peeps /only/ yellow?
[17:23] <ssweeny> no the eyes are black
[17:23] <pleia2> I am a shape purist, not color
[17:24] <pleia2> halloween ghosts? not peeps pink chicks? peeps!
[17:24] <ssweeny> i accept the bunnies
[17:25] <ssweeny> they're not as good for jousting but they seem to get stale faster
[17:25] <ssweeny> must be something to do with surface area
[17:25] <Resistance> ugh
[17:25] <Resistance> pleia2:  ever have someone break into your home while you're in your home?
[17:25] <pleia2> Resistance: nope
[17:25] <Resistance> that happened last night
[17:25] <Resistance> to me
[17:25]  * ssweeny had a roommate who came home to find someone holding our tv
[17:25] <pleia2> :(
[17:26] <Resistance> it didnt help the two who broke in i heard them, and had my AK nearby
[17:26]  * Resistance went out, encountered them with his AK-47, they ran
[17:26] <pleia2> oh my
[17:26]  * Resistance was not pleased
[17:27] <Resistance> although they didnt get the chance to take anything
[17:27] <Resistance> but that's something that noboody wants to ever have happen to them >.>
[17:28] <pleia2> yeah, that sucks :(
[17:29] <Resistance> i should just be glad that they didnt have any guns, and i didnt have to do more than threaten.
[17:29]  * Resistance does not want to shoot anyone unless its absolutely necessary
[17:30]  * Resistance shivers
[17:30] <Resistance> anyways, if i seem extra hostile in channels, you know why :P
[17:31] <pleia2> maybe a break to recover is worthwhile? :) go to the spa, the beach!
[17:31] <Resistance> cant, classes start monday
[17:31] <pleia2> I've taken conference calls from the beach before
[17:31] <Resistance> kinda hard to attend classes from the beach
[17:31] <Resistance> :P
[17:32] <pleia2> but it's just friday! you should be good by monday :)
[17:32] <Resistance> :P
[17:32] <Resistance> if there were a beach nearby
[17:33] <Resistance> it seems though that i wasnt the only one hit by these thieves, i was just the only one who owned a mil-spec rifle
[17:33] <Resistance> so it scared them off...
[17:34] <pleia2> well I'm glad you're safe
[17:34] <Resistance> the police want to interview me at 2PM, to hear my end of the story.
[17:34]  * pleia2 nods
[17:37] <Resistance> this is the only reason i actually keep mil-spec firearms in the gun safe... to defend my home in the case of thieves (this is the second time i've had to confront intruders with weapons, first time i've confronted a thief with the AK though)
[17:37] <Resistance> anyways, i'm off, i need to get ready for the interview
[17:37] <Resistance> now where'd i put my suit...
[17:39] <jedijf> corned beef or pastrami?
[17:41] <Resistance> jedijf:  both
[17:42] <jedijf> need to pick one
[17:56]  * waltman makes a note to not move to Resistance's neighborhood
[18:03] <pleia2> pastrami!
[18:03]  * morecheese makes a note to brush up on CounterStrike:Source skills.
[18:04] <jedijf> did both hot on potato pancakes
[18:13] <ChinnoDog> jedijf: o glorious leader, when is the next upa event?
[18:15] <jedijf> its jot my job to have every event, but i was thinking of having a unity lovefest feb 14
[18:18] <jedijf> ChinnoDog: how was hac dc?
[18:18] <ChinnoDog> Cozy
[18:18] <ChinnoDog> But the people were cool
[18:19] <ChinnoDog> And, no unity lovefests. lol
[18:22] <jedijf> user days are coming
[18:22] <pleia2> yeah, we need some more instructors
[18:40] <rmg51> jedijf: that sounds like a party of one
[20:30] <morecheese> i know the debate of the superior command-line text editor is one of the biggest debates on IRC, and I don't care that I prefer nano over vi or vim or emacs, because I have nothing to prove. however, I'm saddened that nano lacks line number display. enough to force me to start using vim? unlikely.
[20:40] <waltman> morecheese: Obviously the superior editor is ed.
[20:45] <jedijf> morecheese: -c shows it in bottom
[20:45] <jedijf> morecheese: nano -c xyz
[20:46] <jedijf> err, nano -c ed.cfg
[21:03] <morecheese> ahh -c is perfect thx jedijf
[21:16] <morecheese> jedijf: looking through nano manual, cant find anyway to stop highlighting tabbed lines. i.e. press tab a few times then press enter, most editors the line looks blank, but with nano all the tabs are highlighted. any ideas how to turn that off?
[21:22] <jedijf> morecheese: look thru .ini or nanorc
[21:25] <MutantTurkey> learn vim :-)
[21:25] <MutantTurkey> I'm really bored lately. I cant find anything to hack on
[21:26] <jedijf> morecheese: /etc/nanorc on my archbox - let me poke around
[21:27] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: how's phone?
[21:27] <MutantTurkey> got my cable finally
[21:33] <morecheese> MutantTurkey: get a Nokia N800
[21:33] <morecheese> or a Chumby
[21:35] <pleia2> chumby: http://moofi.woot.com/moofi/vivalainternet
[21:35] <pleia2> not that sales are uncommon for them, but $100 is a nice price for the c8
[21:36] <jedijf> morecheese: my nano (arch) doesn't highlight tabs, look for color x,y "^" in rc and comment it
[21:36] <jedijf> i'll check this 904 install now
[21:37] <MutantTurkey> morecheese: after you learn vim
[21:37] <MutantTurkey> i'm waiting on the raspberry pie
[21:38] <pleia2> s/pie/pi
[21:38] <jedijf> morecheese: it;s you! i'll check 11.04 later, but no highlights here
[21:38] <morecheese> :(
[21:38] <morecheese> all my nanos do it by default
[21:40] <jedijf> i made a test file with nano, with tabs, saved and re-entered...nada
[21:42] <jedijf> morecheese: look for ^ in /etc/nanorc and see what's going on
[21:45] <morecheese> # set quotestr "^([     ]*[#:>\|}])+"
[21:46] <morecheese> gonna screenshot to show u
[21:46] <morecheese> http://i.imgur.com/yEU9c.png
[21:47] <jedijf> morecheese: try nano -E ...see if highlights still there
[21:47] <morecheese> not my code, i hate extra whitespace in my code, but apparently this author doesn't
[21:48] <morecheese> still there
[21:48] <jedijf> morecheese: make your own tab test file and see if it's highlighted
[21:48] <jedijf> i am just curious now
[21:49] <morecheese> no tabs
[21:49] <morecheese> er...no highlights on tabs
[21:49] <jedijf> it's something with that one file then
[21:49] <morecheese> so, encoding on his file forcing nano to highlight whitespace?
[21:49] <morecheese> ive seen it before a lot
[21:50] <jedijf> what extension?
[21:50] <jedijf> .py .pie .crumbpie
[21:50] <jedijf> .lattice
[21:50] <jedijf> .merengue
[21:51] <morecheese> how do i check that?
[21:51] <jedijf> what's the part after the . in the filename
[21:52] <morecheese> its a php file
[21:52] <morecheese> i thought u meant what extension was nano using or something
[21:52] <morecheese> wth is .lattice?
[21:52] <morecheese> and .merengue
[21:52] <morecheese> are those really file extensions?
[21:53] <morecheese> oh
[21:53] <morecheese> .pie
[21:53]  * morecheese smirks.
[22:06] <morecheese> whats also weird is when im in the file and i hit enter htne tab, the tabs are highlighted. must be something with the syntax highlighting?
[22:08] <jedijf> morecheese: in rc # the php include
[22:08] <jedijf> should solve
[22:16] <waltman> morecheese: Maybe I'm an old grump, but I don't understand how anyone can read code when there's more code visible underneath it.
