[01:34] <snap-l> Windows really hates me.

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

[19:32] <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.
[19:33] <snap-l> So now I have a copy of my parent's machine that won't boot because it's in a virtual machine
[19:34] <snap-l> It gets to mup.sys, and promptly shits
[20:02] <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?
[20:08] <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
[20:27] <derekv> windows is bs.
[20:27] <derekv> simply BS
[20:32] <derekv> frankly the reason for its popularity is largely due to ms office
[20:33] <derekv> I use OS/2
[20:33] <derekv> much better =p
[20:39] <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
[21:01] <dzho> OS/2!
[21:02] <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
[21:28] <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
[21:48] <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)
[21:53] <derekv> also i frequently regret having bought this ipad when i think of how much it costs compaired to a nexus7
[21:54] <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
[22:50] <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
[22:54] <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
[22:59] <derekv> anyone used carbonite
[23:00] <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.
[23:01] <derekv> they sure like spinright
[23:01] <derekv> feel like its half the show
[23:01] <derekv> this week in spinright is awesome
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <derekv> i usually learn stuff when i listen but feel like it should be 45 minutes not 2hr
[23:06] <snap-l> Spinrite is pretty good, though
[23:06] <snap-l> and that's how Steve Gibson makes his money
