| czajkowski | Laney: Ive bacon here :) | 10:38 |
| czajkowski | nyommy byommy bacon and a bucket of tea :) | 10:38 |
| Myrtti | is it just me, or am I missing out on something, but | 11:09 |
| Myrtti | if you don't consider customer loyalty to a certain brand | 11:09 |
| Myrtti | it almost looks like the Dell Ubuntu laptop is about the best price/quality ratio laptop that can do Linux without a hitch | 11:10 |
| penguin42 | how do you measure quality? | 11:29 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: with a qualometer? | 11:32 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Of course! | 11:33 |
| Myrtti | penguin42: features, chassis material | 11:39 |
| Laney | czajkowski: FEED ME | 11:48 |
| czajkowski | Laney: I can send you 20 eggs will that do :) | 11:48 |

| czajkowski | bah medium | 11:49 |
| czajkowski | that bug is so more annoying than a medium bug! | 11:49 |
| Laney | hey at least the upstream guy is on it | 11:50 |
| Laney | that's a good sign | 11:50 |
| Laney | Subject: Your contribution to ‘Ubuntu Edge’ has been refunded | 11:51 |

| czajkowski | Laney: aye it is good | 11:52 |
| czajkowski | it's gotten so bad in the last week it's driving me crazy | 11:52 |
| czajkowski | I've found by hitting print screen | 11:52 |
| Laney | does firefox have the problem? | 11:52 |
| czajkowski | it makes it reset itself sometimes | 11:52 |
| czajkowski | never use FF | 11:52 |
| czajkowski | lemmie go and see | 11:52 |
| Laney | i bet i have to phone halifax to get the money back to my current account from me credit card | 11:53 |
| czajkowski | Laney: nope nothing there | 11:53 |
| Laney | nothing what? | 11:53 |
| czajkowski | no issues on FF | 11:56 |
| Laney | ah | 11:56 |

| penguin42 | when a PSU says it's got a 20+4 connector and a 1x4 pin CPU connector, does that mean it can power a PSU that takes a 24 pin plug? | 12:02 |
| hamitron | penguin42, yes | 12:18 |
| hamitron | the 20+4 means it is 24 pin connector, but 4 can be removed to fit a 20 pin socket | 12:19 |
| mungbean | you were called today by 01210 000 000 00 grrrrr | 12:24 |
| mungbean | how do they fake caller id? | 12:24 |
| mungbean | "no sir this is not a spam call, this is an information call" | 12:35 |
| ali1234 | mungbean: voip | 12:49 |
| mungbean | scummers | 12:50 |
| mungbean | also v high incidence of failed calls with voip | 12:50 |
| ali1234 | that's due to the way call centre pooling works | 12:55 |
| ali1234 | they keep a certain number of phones ringing constantly so that there is never any gap between them | 12:57 |
| mungbean | yeah :( | 12:57 |
| ali1234 | but this means if you answer really fast there will be nobody ready to talk to you | 12:57 |
| mungbean | i used to get some at 4am | 12:57 |
| hamitron | :/ | 12:57 |
| mungbean | has anyone seen the social netowrk film | 12:58 |
| hamitron | they always hang up before the call is put through to me | 12:58 |
| mungbean | i had a failed call 20 mins earlier | 12:58 |
| mungbean | which is why i knew to be prepared for the next call | 12:58 |
| ali1234 | the computer system knows if you answer when there's no operator ready | 12:59 |
| mungbean | he opened his mouth hello Sir "NO SPAM CALLS" | 12:59 |
| ali1234 | so it just drops the call and dials someone else | 12:59 |
| ali1234 | rather than keep the line blocked | 12:59 |
| hamitron | prepared? with a whistle? ;) | 12:59 |
| mungbean | next time | 12:59 |
| mungbean | i have young baby, dashing to phone could be during a feed or a nappy | 12:59 |
| SuperEngineer | a while back I had a spam call - the bloke took impolite objection to my polite objection - so I informed him his companies number was stored on the [landline] phone - and I was recording the conversation - haven't had a spam call since that day :) | 13:01 |
| mungbean | im surprised a call centre monkey would care | 13:01 |
| SuperEngineer | this idiot did | 13:01 |
| SuperEngineer | [I try to have sympathy with them and be polite with refusal/goodbye as my daughter got conned on a part job when younger - she ended up working in a call centre for a newspaper | 13:03 |
| mungbean | wow its raining really hard | 13:03 |
| SuperEngineer | ...daughter ended up working in one | 13:04 |
| SuperEngineer | mungbean - no it's not! I just checked | 13:04 |

| peng42phone | and as always I bought a sata cable to find there were some in the mboard box | 13:59 |
| mungbean | 3rd spam phone call of the day ..this time while i was in the loft | 14:05 |
| mungbean | lucky i didn't rush | 14:05 |
| peng42phone | You registered on tps? | 14:09 |
| mungbean | yes | 14:09 |
| mungbean | indian spammers dont care, strangely | 14:09 |
| mungbean | i think the caller id was 90210 | 14:09 |
| peng42phone | Ah yeh | 14:10 |
| mungbean | my wife spent a load on baby clothes we needed to buy, and then i found them in the loft :( | 14:10 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: sure it wasn't a knat box? | 14:22 |
| peng42phone | Well it's too big to be,a gnat box, I wouldn't know about a knat | 14:25 |
| SuperEngineer | mungbean: ever thought of getting a phone with profiles available - i.e. put all knowns in a profole set to ring - all others, no notification etc | 14:27 |
| SuperEngineer | *profilr | 14:27 |

| MartijnVdS | thank the flying spaghetti monster for milk 8-) | 14:43 |
| mungbean | SuperEngineer: house phone? | 14:45 |
| mungbean | maybe i should turn the house phone ringer off and never give my number | 14:45 |
| SuperEngineer | mungbean: yup | 14:45 |
| mungbean | its the dumbest of dumb house phones | 14:46 |
| MartijnVdS | mungbean: one with the rotary dials? | 14:46 |
| mungbean | :P | 14:46 |
| mungbean | they are probably quite ££ now | 14:46 |
| SuperEngineer | mungbean: that nullifies that idea then | 14:46 |
| MartijnVdS | my brother has one | 14:46 |
| MartijnVdS | had to buy some kind of adapter to convert the pulses back into tones, because his voice providers uses VOIP, on a DOCSIS modem that doesn't understand pulse dialing | 14:47 |
| MartijnVdS | provider* | 14:47 |
| MartijnVdS | also, it didn't put enough power on the line to ring the ringer 8-) | 14:48 |
| peng42phone | Mungbean: there are some boxes you can buy that sit inline that do selective ringing and/or menus | 14:48 |

| mungbean | why does chrome write to disk so much when not even touching th ebrowser? | 15:34 |
| penguin42 | is pretty amazed how little my P90 uses | 15:34 |
| MartijnVdS | mungbean: the NSA requires it. | 15:35 |
| mungbean | some truth in that | 15:36 |
| mungbean | sudo sh -c "echo 'manual' > /etc/init/SERVICE.override" | 15:37 |
| MartijnVdS | uh.. wut? | 15:37 |
| mungbean | that is how to disable upstart stuffs? thats ugly | 15:37 |
| penguin42 | that's ludicrously low | 15:41 |
| SuperEngineer | phew! safe - still got x running [much better than last time driver udated when x died afterwards] | 15:45 |
| SuperEngineer | ...dare I now go go driver with post release updates me wonders | 15:46 |

| MartijnVdS | penguin42: NUC under load: 27W ;) | 15:49 |
| MartijnVdS | D33217CK | 15:49 |
| penguin42 | MartijnVdS: OK, that's interesting - I've bought what I believe is the same CPU in the NUCs - dual core 1.1GHz Celeron | 15:49 |
| mungbean | my first job in '96 used a compaq p90 | 15:51 |
| penguin42 | this P90 (through which this conversation is being NATd) was bought in '94 | 15:51 |
| MartijnVdS | my first real PC was a 486-DX4-100 because a P90 was too expensive | 15:51 |
| MartijnVdS | clocked at 133 | 15:52 |
| mungbean | haven't switched my desktop pc on in yonks | 15:52 |
| penguin42 | MartijnVdS: Yeh I think it cost me ~£2k in '94 including a 17" liyama monitor | 15:52 |
| MartijnVdS | iiyama had the best | 15:53 |

| SuperEngineer | does anyone know of a better way of removing Left for Dead 2 beta from Steam other than downloading it and then "remove all local content"- currently downloading 11.5 gig of unwanted stuff! [already have the non-beta game installed on Steam] | 17:50 |
| * SuperEngineer copies & pastes last to #ubuntu-steam | 17:52 | |

| SuperEngineer | started downloading a purchased game - stopped it after advice* - deleted local content - but available disc space has fallen by 6G! How do I reclaim this disk space? | 19:14 |
| SuperEngineer | [* game was Left For Dead 2 Beta - I already have the non-beta version & perfectly satisfied with it]. | 19:14 |
| SuperEngineer | Disk space should be freed - not kept! | 19:14 |
| shauno | you buy disks to not use them? | 19:18 |
| hamitron | SuperEngineer, .Trash? | 19:31 |
| MartijnVdS | daftykins: nice one | 19:31 |
| hamitron | SuperEngineer, ~/.local/share/Trash | 19:34 |
| SuperEngineer | hamitron: now that's an idea | 19:39 |
| hamitron | could maybe be in temp storage for a torrent client, if you used that method :) | 19:40 |
| SuperEngineer | hamitron: not a torrent - and nah - ~/.local/share/Trash = 12.5kB | 19:42 |
| hamitron | how did you download and delete it? | 19:42 |
| SuperEngineer | hamitron: download via Steam App - paused, stopped , removed "all local content" | 19:55 |
| SuperEngineer | rebooted to see if space was still held - and it was | 19:56 |
| hamitron | ah, I've known steam leave stuff on windows | 19:56 |
| hamitron | not sure about the linux client, worth checking manually? | 19:57 |
| SuperEngineer | been doing that and hunting - can't find a sausage! | 19:57 |
| hamitron | :/ | 19:58 |
| SuperEngineer | except this descrepency http://paste.ubuntu.com/6022613/ | 19:58 |
| SuperEngineer | "." does not add up! | 19:58 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: note your .local | 19:59 |
| hamitron | yeh, is .local that big usually? | 19:59 |
| hamitron | haha | 19:59 |
| SuperEngineer | nope | 19:59 |

| hamitron | grrrr | 20:02 |
| hamitron | wish my amp on my motherboard would go louder for my front headphones port | 20:03 |
| penguin42 | turn it up to 11? | 20:03 |
| hamitron | I can't have it at 100% | 20:03 |
| hamitron | get distortion | 20:03 |
| hamitron | :/ | 20:03 |
| hamitron | well, for some songs anyway | 20:03 |
| hamitron | no worries, will just encourage me to get my amp repaired so i don't use these ports | 20:05 |
| hamitron | (another external amp, that is) | 20:06 |

| hamitron | do suspect it may feel un-natural with no touch display | 20:47 |
| hamitron | but it has better multi-monitor stuff than win7 | 20:47 |

| hamitron | tbh, to get what I want from an OS, would mean spending a lot of time putting together what I want | 20:51 |
| ali1234 | win8 isn't really all that interesting | 20:51 |
| hamitron | and I really cba | 20:51 |
| ali1234 | imagine windows 7 with start menu removed | 20:51 |
| ali1234 | then imagine every 5 minutes a weird full screen thing that you don't understand pops up | 20:51 |
| ali1234 | that's basically it | 20:51 |
| hamitron | haha | 20:51 |
| hamitron | I like that | 20:52 |
| hamitron | ;/ | 20:52 |
| hamitron | the modern start menu has got too cluttered anyway | 20:52 |
| * hamitron likes LXDE | 20:52 | |
| ali1234 | lol | 20:52 |
| ali1234 | well metro is about 100 times more cluttered | 20:52 |
| ali1234 | but they made it look "not cluttered" by removing all the text | 20:52 |
| ali1234 | so now it's a mess of icons | 20:52 |
| hamitron | on my laptop, I don't use the desktop that often tbh | 20:53 |
| hamitron | more like a tablet with a keyboard | 20:53 |
| hamitron | it works well for that | 20:53 |
| ali1234 | how do you do anything at all? | 20:53 |
| hamitron | what you mean? | 20:53 |
| ali1234 | how do you do anything at all on windows without using the desktop? | 20:53 |
| hamitron | it is for basic day-to-day things | 20:54 |
| ali1234 | like for example, visit a web page | 20:54 |
| hamitron | email, web browsing, word processing | 20:54 |
| ali1234 | the version of win8 i used, IE opened on the desktop | 20:54 |
| ali1234 | metro did nothing at all | 20:54 |
| ali1234 | except serve as a start menu replacement | 20:54 |
| hamitron | it can do, or it can run metro style | 20:54 |
| hamitron | I use the IE touch interface | 20:55 |
| hamitron | http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/NEWS/large/iemetro.jpg | 20:56 |
| hamitron | I wouldn't mind knowing a good linux Desktop for touch displays | 20:57 |
| ali1234 | android | 20:57 |
| hamitron | :/ | 20:57 |
| hamitron | I hate android | 20:57 |
| hamitron | have never got the hang of it, the times I've played | 20:58 |
| hamitron | I miss the tiles from windows phone | 20:58 |
| hamitron | :/ | 20:58 |
| ali1234 | lol | 20:58 |
| hamitron | if I used it for a longer period of time, I may get used to it I suppose | 20:58 |
| hamitron | I did try android x86 on my laptop for a few hours too | 20:59 |
| hamitron | but too basic for a rig like that | 21:00 |
| ali1234 | i don't think i've used my laptop even once since i got a nexus 7 | 21:00 |
| hamitron | :) | 21:00 |
| hamitron | well, I was torn between the nexus 7 and the asus vivobook | 21:01 |
| hamitron | I went vivobook, thinking I can still run normal pc apps | 21:01 |
| hamitron | plus a keyboard | 21:01 |
| hamitron | this was before I had tasted win8 | 21:01 |
| hamitron | I'm sure the nexus 7 will be better for more people | 21:02 |
| hamitron | just not me :) | 21:03 |
