[02:06] <nUboon2age> jtatum, jledbetter whats the thought for this month? I came last month but nobody else was there
[04:30] <nhaines> I have nothing on topic to contribute to the channel at the moment, so instead I come bearing a gift: http://i.imgur.com/s7tOH.jpg

[04:32] <pleia2> haha
[04:33] <nhaines> Actually I was fighting with Windows 8 in a VM earlier.  But VirtualBox 4.2 Beta 1 is a little broken too.  So I was fighting both of them.
[04:33] <pleia2> oh fun
[04:34] <pleia2> who won? :)
[04:34] <nhaines> I did, because I shut everything down and am playing Super Mario 3D Land instead.  :)
[04:34] <pleia2> nhaines++
[04:35] <pleia2> rww was at the ubuntu hour & debian dinner last night, he had his 3ds
[04:35]  * pleia2 learned this upon returning home :)
[04:36] <scientes> 3ds?
[04:36] <nhaines> Apparently there were some stages I had completed but without gold flags, so I am remedying this.  Also I can see the director of a Nintendo news site is playing New Super Mario Bros. 2 so I await a review.
[04:36] <nhaines> Haha, yes, he mentioned that to me and now I have his friend code.  :)
[04:36] <scientes> nhaines, why don't you use virt-manager + qemu-kvm?
[04:36] <scientes> its way better than vb
[04:36] <pleia2> scientes: nintendo handheld
[04:36] <nhaines> scientes: the Nintendo 3DS is an autostereoscopic handheld gaming device.
[04:36] <scientes> nhaines, except its more of a client with a rootkit
[04:37] <scientes> it searches out wifis to connect to when booting, and auto-downloads updates
[04:37] <scientes> and if it detects tampering it bricks itsself
[04:37] <scientes> get an openpandora
[04:37] <scientes> http://openpandora.org/
[04:37] <darthrobot> Title: [OpenPandora]
[04:38] <nhaines> Are we no longer talking about hypervisors?
[04:38] <scientes> we talk about everythin gin here
[04:38] <nhaines> Antecedents.
[04:38] <scientes> i was talking about the root-kit part of 3ds
[04:38] <nhaines> Signed auto-update from the manufacturer is not a rootkit.
[04:39] <scientes> its a manufacture-controller rootkit
[04:39] <scientes> cause you can't turn it off
[04:39] <nhaines> That's not what rootkit means and you can turn it off.
[04:39] <scientes> or rather, non-free controlling software
[04:39] <scientes> i've heard its impossible to turn off
[04:39] <nhaines> There's a switch on the side of the unit that disables wireless.
[04:40] <scientes> well you have to admit that even if that works its far from optimal
[04:41] <nhaines> I don't admit it.  Updates are downloaded automatically but not installed automatically anyway.
[04:41] <nhaines> Besides, I'm not interested in homebrew or piracy.  I bought the system to play Nintendo games.  If I wanted to do homebrew I'd just use an emulator.

[04:41] <darthrobot> Title: [Forced Nintendo 3DS firmware updates to combat piracy - 3DS - News - HEXUS.net]
[04:42] <nhaines> Meanwhile in 2012, updates are automatically downloaded but you are prompted to install, and then must read and accept an EULA before the install begins.
[04:44] <nhaines> I'm not the least bit interested in gaming on an OpenPandora device, but I would totally take this out drinking so I can code and drink.
[04:51] <scientes> what are the good games?
[04:56] <nhaines> scientes: There are a few, but Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, Kid Icarus, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, Super Mario Bros., and The Legend of Zelda are my current favorites.
[04:58] <pleia2> I like 3D land a lot more than the regular SMB one
[05:02] <nhaines> pleia2: but it's a classic!
[05:03] <pleia2> yeah well :)
[05:03] <pleia2> perhaps I was just wanting something new
[05:08] <nhaines> pleia2: I would actually *love* to see Super Mario Bros. 2 on 3DS Virtual Console.
[05:09] <pleia2> I loved SMB2
[05:09] <pleia2> I got to play the princess :) she floats
[05:10] <pleia2> I have it for my Wii actually
[05:10] <nhaines> So do I, but I'd prefer it if I could play it on the go and also where no one can see me die repeatedly.  :)
[05:10] <pleia2> haha
[05:11] <pleia2> yeah, I have a massive TV, people across the street at the art school can watch me die
[05:11]  * pleia2 draws shade
[05:11] <nhaines> haha :)
[05:37] <bkerensa> oh duh
[05:37]  * bkerensa couldnt figure out why Pushover was not sending IRC notifications
[05:37] <bkerensa> =/
[05:37] <bkerensa> I flashed a new rom
[06:17] <nhaines> pleia2: Oh good, this just happened to me [NSFW - profanity]: http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/11/16

[06:19] <pleia2> it hates me
[06:19] <philballew> I tried and had nothing
[06:19]  * philballew runs away to his hole and cries
[06:20] <bkerensa> =o
[06:20] <nhaines> Now I will try world 7-[scary airship]
[06:20] <nhaines> Which should definitely be a Unicode codepoint.
[06:21] <pleia2> ah, friend has arrived! night all

[06:22] <philballew> Social, whats that?
