[10:27] Morning [10:51] Morning. [13:08] Morning peoples and dogs [13:57] What no turkeys, ducks, bears, dogs, etc ? [13:57] Ooops, scratch the dogs [13:57] btw good morning [14:47] still kinda trying to figure out what to do about this desktop [14:47] https://twitpic.com/c17092 [14:47] its basically unusable [14:48] e: unreadable [14:48] but hey i see you :P [14:48] MutantTurkey: parts? [14:49] ? [14:49] if your system's not usable, sell it as parts [14:49] it's for work. they just gave it to me [14:51] ah. [14:52] well E: Unreadable Image, so... [14:52] ? [14:52] I hate shiny monitors. [14:53] JonathanD: jedijf could use your advice [14:54] ABout? [14:55] my new desktop has a glossy display, so much so that I can barely use it. I want to have my boss return it but think it might be overstepping [14:55] do you think it would be fine to demand a swap? [14:56] its going to make my eyes fall out [14:56] "This display hurts my eyes" is a reasonable complaint, in my opinion. [14:57] The best solution is to convince some other poor soul how awesome it is, and trade it with them for theirs. [14:57] They'll have none of it [14:57] I already triee [14:57] JonathanD: did you see the link ^^? that's a picture of it [14:57] I did see the link. [14:57] it hurt MY eyes. [14:58] I'm not sure what LCD maker sits down and says "You know what would make this monitor better? If I could see myself in it." [14:58] http://pastebin.com/h70ARd5S [14:58] JonathanD: it's great for viewing videos on really, and anything not black [14:58] but when you sit at a terminal all day.... [14:58] that is a paste of my propsed email [14:59] does that seem good? [14:59] Yes. [14:59] I can clearly see your phone, you, and everything around you in the photo :P [14:59] I can spy on my neighbors 20 feet away easily [15:00] ok sent [15:01] One thing I do like about thinkpads is they offer non-gloss screens. [15:01] of course, the matte screen was my major attraction to my thinkpad [15:08] JonathanD: I think it will go over well [15:08] just slightly annoying [15:15] Trade it with someone that has a 19" 1280x1024 type screen, they just might overlook the reflections to go higher res. [15:15] Downgrading would help make you happy too [15:23] I have another monitor I just got that is 23 inches! [15:23] so I have another seperate monitor that rocks [15:24] i'm looking to trade though definitively [16:35] I got a 19" monitor that I'd consider trading. Buuuut, that one does not belong to you but the company you work for, right ? [19:16] howdy all [19:17] hey [19:18] how goes it? I got on the subway and it was cold, I pop out at 30th street and it's 40 degrees! [19:19] Goes well [19:20] good :) [19:37] ls [19:37] whoops [19:40] ls [19:40] grr [19:40] MutantTurkey.Destroy(computer) [19:40] :P [19:40] yes [19:40] yes [19:40] drop tables [19:43] Little Bobby Tables [19:45] The mouseovers are always the best though [19:45] I really like the what-if lately [19:45] that's awesome! [19:46] I enjoyed the recent one about sneaker net, because for our mirrors at trinity, when there is a new mirror going online, we mail them a hard drive [20:38] waltman: can I get some matlab help? has to do with return values [20:39] 45 [loadfasta,~]=fastaread(fastafilename); [20:39] ok, if it's quick... [20:39] 46 numreads=numel(loadfasta); [20:39] line 45, what does that mean? the fasta read function returns a struct with two fields [20:40] is that just capturing only one field? the first one? [20:41] nevermind, it defintely is that :-) ok you are awesome anyway [20:41] On 45, it means the function returns 2 variables, but you only care about the first one [20:41] ~ is a place holder meaning "ignore this return value" [20:42] you don't need the square brackets if it only returns a single value, so that's what's going on with 46. [20:42] gotcha [20:42] thanks [20:42] I just discovered that feature a day or two ago [20:43] pretty cool actually [23:14] I have to many context switches in a day. It really throws me off [23:14] btw my solution was to just put the new desktop under the table and pretend it's a normal tower [23:22] MutantTurkey: any way you can turn off the light over your monitor? [23:23] waltman: the ones directly above me and behind were out and the shades were closeed [23:23] and you still had all that glare? [23:25] yes! [23:25] it is super glarey [23:26] crazy [23:26] I just put it under the desk [23:26] simple solutio [23:30] you put your monitor under your desk? [23:31] it's an all-in-one pc [23:31] I just put the whole thing under the desk [23:31] and used another monitor [23:31] so how do you...aha. [23:31] muahahahahahaha [23:38] this job is good though for my resume because it has serious programming and sysadmin parts [23:38] so I can pursue either easily
