| rick_h_ | morning | 12:31 |
| jrwren | greg-g: are you sure? google is pretty anti-lisp. did they aquire it? | 13:26 |
| greg-g | jrwren: yeah, ISA or something or other was the company they acquired | 15:14 |
| greg-g | jrwren: a googler lives with me and told me last night | 15:14 |
| jrwren | cool. | 15:19 |
| jrwren | like when yahoo aquired paul grahams store? | 15:20 |
| jrwren | and removed the lisp and destroyed it? :) | 15:20 |
| jrwren | google will probably do the same thing :p | 15:20 |
| greg-g | heh, hope not | 15:25 |
| greg-g | but man, flights.google.com is sooo much better than anything else I've tried | 15:25 |
| greg-g | the graph of cost variance by time, wonderful | 15:25 |
| jrwren | i just went to it and realized I have no destination. | 15:26 |
| jrwren | no where to go. | 15:26 |
| jrwren | i like home | 15:26 |
| greg-g | jrwren: :) the only trip I have planned is amsterdam in may for a MediaWiki hackathon | 15:27 |
| jrwren | hackathon, right. | 15:27 |
| greg-g | I'll be hacking | 15:28 |
| greg-g | .... my lungs out | 15:28 |
| rick_h_ | dogsled driver! | 15:28 |
| jrwren | hahahah. | 15:30 |
| jrwren | smokeathon is more like it. | 15:30 |
| jrwren | is the hackathon at a coffee house? | 15:30 |

| greg-g | wait, really, the new xbox console is seriously called xbox720? | 19:52 |
| greg-g | talk about version number inflation | 19:52 |
| snap-l | Why not? | 19:53 |
| greg-g | and people were mad at chrome/firefox! | 19:53 |
| snap-l | I'm sure then next one will be 1080 | 19:53 |
| greg-g | will it be p or i? | 19:53 |
| greg-g | ;) | 19:53 |
| snap-l | But what's funny is I'm sure people will confuse it with not being 1080p | 19:53 |
| greg-g | 'zactly | 19:53 |
| snap-l | SO, the original was a 180 | 19:54 |
| snap-l | The second one came around full circle | 19:54 |
| snap-l | and this new one has been around the block a few times. | 19:55 |
| snap-l | Or does it mean they're giving us the run-around on DRM and always-on? :) | 19:56 |
| snap-l | All I know is whomever does their marketing needs to be flogged | 19:56 |
| greg-g | yeah, just saw an article on that, but the 720 part is what inflammed me ;) | 19:57 |
| snap-l | Honestly, I can't think of a good reason to upgrade to the new consoles outside of habit | 19:58 |
| greg-g | go on, be a good consumer, follow the habit we spend millions marketing to make you believe it's just a habit | 19:59 |
| jrwren | xbox 1440 | 20:10 |
| jhansonxi | I think they're just trying to stick to a circle theme, like Blu-Ray and "red ring of death" | 20:10 |
| snap-l | It's taking every last bit of my willpower to not write in the memo field of this check to the Treasury "For: a do-nothing congress, who'd rather prop up banks too big to fail instead of punishing them" | 21:01 |
| dzho | also, tl;dr | 21:02 |
| dzho | and "propping up" doesn't jibe with "do nothing" | 21:02 |
| dzho | more like "do the wrong thing" | 21:02 |
| dzho | except, of course, until I get my money out. prop them up *until* then | 21:03 |
| greg-g | I've said it once and I'll say it again, this Dell XPS is the worst laptop I've had in a long time | 21:03 |
| snap-l | dzho: A door stop can still prop a door while remaining perfectly still | 21:04 |
| dzho | yes. | 21:08 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: :( | 21:14 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: I keep finding people that want to order one I have to scare away | 21:14 |
| greg-g | yay! ubuntu official support! what?! this is the worst kernel experience I've had in a long time! | 21:17 |
| greg-g | so bad | 21:17 |
| greg-g | "just install the PPA" A) isn't the right answer and B) still doesn't help | 21:17 |
| greg-g | hahaha: "There is zero overlap between developers who prefer IPAs and developers who prefer IDEs." - @hipsterhacker | 21:28 |
| jhansonxi | greg-g: What's the problem with the XPS? I'm thinking of replacing my 10-year old Toshiba. | 21:50 |
| greg-g | horrible support from Ubuntu, heh | 21:51 |
| greg-g | jhansonxi: seriously, if you're thinking about an XPS, you actually want a Lenovo x-series | 21:52 |
| jhansonxi | I haven't started shopping seriously yet. Not sure what I want. I have a dead Inspiron 11z netbook that may be fixable but I probably need a bigger screen. I've looked at some ZaReason models and other Linux vendors. | 21:53 |
| jhansonxi | There's also the Google chromebook | 21:55 |
