[01:34] Windows really hates me. [01:34] http://decafbad.net/2013/04/13/windows-hates-me/ [12:35] snap-l: i'll have to snag that Ivan Moravec. I assume you like his interpretation? [13:03] woot, first bookie commit from the tablet [13:03] and double woot for a new contributor [13:52] jrwren: It works for me, but I'm not a piano snob [14:09] I have no idea what too much rubato is. :) [17:22] http://www.theonion.com/articles/my-computer-totally-hates-me-vs-god-do-i-hate-that,11538/ [19:32] I really, really hate Windows XP [19:32] More importantly, I hate whomever decided to not ship device drivers for different hardware. [19:33] So now I have a copy of my parent's machine that won't boot because it's in a virtual machine [19:34] It gets to mup.sys, and promptly shits [20:02] everytime I add a network printer to someone's win box, I have similar dark thoughts. [20:02] why tf couldn't they have just put generic ps and pcl drivers in there? [20:08] 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 [20:27] windows is bs. [20:27] simply BS [20:32] frankly the reason for its popularity is largely due to ms office [20:33] I use OS/2 [20:33] much better =p [20:39] 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 [21:01] OS/2! [21:02] rick_h_: you know, PCL and PS are even older. [21:02] and, last time I had this experience it was on something newer than XP [21:02] win 7 I think [21:28] dzho: I did mean more for snap-l and the install issues [21:28] 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 [21:48] 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] (this includes iTunes) [21:53] also i frequently regret having bought this ipad when i think of how much it costs compaired to a nexus7 [21:54] like i'd rather program for ios than actually use it =p [21:54] the way that apps are so isolated seems a bit dumb, like almost you are stepping back to dos days [22:50] rick_h_: understood, but ffs you would hope it wouldn't take a complete dump just because you replaced the machine. [22:50] i find that line of thinking rerprehensoble [22:54] But, on the plus side, it got my parents to consider using a Virtual machine. [22:54] So that's a plus [22:59] anyone used carbonite [23:00] rates look reasonable [23:00] derekv: I have not, but TWIT advertises them [23:00] So at least they pass some of the twit muster [23:00] sure [23:00] That said, they advertised the Drobo like crazy, and now they don't. [23:01] they sure like spinright [23:01] feel like its half the show [23:01] this week in spinright is awesome [23:02] 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] then they talk about spinright and other sponsers a lot and i just can't take it for 2hrs [23:03] i usually learn stuff when i listen but feel like it should be 45 minutes not 2hr [23:06] Spinrite is pretty good, though [23:06] and that's how Steve Gibson makes his money [23:52] https://myblogtest.telegr.am/ [23:52] static site generator based (hoisted) hosting service
