| jrwren | snap-l: i'll have to snag that Ivan Moravec. I assume you like his interpretation? | 12:35 |
| rick_h_ | woot, first bookie commit from the tablet | 13:03 |
| rick_h_ | and double woot for a new contributor | 13:03 |
| snap-l | jrwren: It works for me, but I'm not a piano snob | 13:52 |
| snap-l | I have no idea what too much rubato is. :) | 14:09 |

| snap-l | I really, really hate Windows XP | 19:32 |
| snap-l | More importantly, I hate whomever decided to not ship device drivers for different hardware. | 19:32 |
| snap-l | So now I have a copy of my parent's machine that won't boot because it's in a virtual machine | 19:33 |
| snap-l | It gets to mup.sys, and promptly shits | 19:34 |
| dzho | everytime I add a network printer to someone's win box, I have similar dark thoughts. | 20:02 |
| dzho | why tf couldn't they have just put generic ps and pcl drivers in there? | 20:02 |
| rick_h_ | the thing is that windows XP is OLD! Linux or even OSX from that long ago (...what year did OSX come out?) would also suck | 20:08 |
| derekv | windows is bs. | 20:27 |
| derekv | simply BS | 20:27 |
| derekv | frankly the reason for its popularity is largely due to ms office | 20:32 |
| derekv | I use OS/2 | 20:33 |
| derekv | much better =p | 20:33 |
| derekv | trying to figure out why i keep getting charged like .45c/mo from aws when the panel reports i got no instances and nothing in s3 | 20:39 |
| dzho | OS/2! | 21:01 |
| dzho | rick_h_: you know, PCL and PS are even older. | 21:02 |
| dzho | and, last time I had this experience it was on something newer than XP | 21:02 |
| dzho | win 7 I think | 21:02 |
| rick_h_ | dzho: I did mean more for snap-l and the install issues | 21:28 |
| rick_h_ | dzho: for printing yea, everyone wants a special driver that puts a pretty special UX in front of the user and comes with some lovely branding for you to get advertised through | 21:28 |
| derekv | open letter anyone who makes an app/application for steaming audio and does not provide a place to tweak buffering settings-> your app is BS. | 21:48 |
| derekv | (this includes iTunes) | 21:48 |
| derekv | also i frequently regret having bought this ipad when i think of how much it costs compaired to a nexus7 | 21:53 |
| derekv | like i'd rather program for ios than actually use it =p | 21:54 |
| derekv | the way that apps are so isolated seems a bit dumb, like almost you are stepping back to dos days | 21:54 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: understood, but ffs you would hope it wouldn't take a complete dump just because you replaced the machine. | 22:50 |
| snap-l | i find that line of thinking rerprehensoble | 22:50 |
| snap-l | But, on the plus side, it got my parents to consider using a Virtual machine. | 22:54 |
| snap-l | So that's a plus | 22:54 |
| derekv | anyone used carbonite | 22:59 |
| derekv | rates look reasonable | 23:00 |
| snap-l | derekv: I have not, but TWIT advertises them | 23:00 |
| snap-l | So at least they pass some of the twit muster | 23:00 |
| derekv | sure | 23:00 |
| snap-l | That said, they advertised the Drobo like crazy, and now they don't. | 23:00 |
| derekv | they sure like spinright | 23:01 |
| derekv | feel like its half the show | 23:01 |
| derekv | this week in spinright is awesome | 23:01 |
| derekv | the whole twit podcasts thing sortof not my favorite, good guys but they are long winded, they tend to explain things in a pretty good way but take a long time to do it | 23:02 |
| derekv | then they talk about spinright and other sponsers a lot and i just can't take it for 2hrs | 23:02 |
| derekv | i usually learn stuff when i listen but feel like it should be 45 minutes not 2hr | 23:03 |
| snap-l | Spinrite is pretty good, though | 23:06 |
| snap-l | and that's how Steve Gibson makes his money | 23:06 |
