=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [00:24] hahaha [00:24] you can't delete the credentials for a wifi network in windows 8.1 [00:24] at least not graphically. i had to run "netsh wlan delete profile name=SSID" [00:30] directhex: do you have The Stanley parable? [07:26] morning all [07:38] \o [07:41] * MartijnVdS listens to http://open.spotify.com/album/6Ke8YiLYx2pzt8TaDeNp1B [07:43] * MooDoo is at work tackling next years rota. [07:43] MooDoo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rota,_C%C3%A1diz ? [07:45] yeah maybe i should send people there :) [07:45] "It's for the best" [08:21] Morning all. [08:21] allo allo [08:21] morning [08:26] cool, the BBC Micro USB adapters may be available again in the new year [08:26] Something useful for my little computer museum [08:50] bbc micro usb adaptor? [08:50] sounds too good to be true [08:51] SuperMatt: details here: http://www.retroclinic.com/acorn/datacentre/datacentre.htm [08:51] I'm still waiting for them to do another batch of them, they had run out of stock when I asked a year ago [08:52] I'm surprised the bbc micro can support such stuff [08:55] I think it uses a ROM to present each .ssd and dsd file as a disc to the OS [08:55] I see [08:55] * SuperMatt doesn't see [08:55] maybe the ROM just sends and receives data via the user port, and the board itself implements the FAT32 filesystem [08:55] I can't remember if I've ever used a bbc micro [08:56] Last time I was on one was when I played Frak :) [08:56] I replaced the function keys on my IBM Model M keyboard to vaguely resemble a BBC Micro / Archimedes. [09:13] good morning everyone [09:13] Good morning peeps :) [09:13] gooood morning [09:14] o/ [09:14] morning laura [09:14] Laney: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LauraCzajkowski/posts/6E2XarLSDGM [09:14] czajkowski: dawwwww [09:16] :) [09:22] Morning all [09:22] I take it that the carrot is a toy rather than an actual carrot? [09:23] Anyone point me in the direction of what may cause this error in messages "q 30000 above highwater mark 30000, /path/to/file" [09:23] Also keyboard has changed to US style even thouh it says it's UK :/ [09:24] Remove US altogether works :) [09:24] bigcalm: nope a real one [09:25] he loves it [09:25] czajkowski: cool, cheap toys :D [09:26] oh he has them too but loves a fresh carrot it's amusing to watch [09:27] Good morning all; happy Day of Reconciliation! :-D === Guest81453 is now known as JamesTait [09:46] what's that?

[11:27] well, technically I've not yet immigrated [11:27] but oh well [11:27] I immigrated to planet Earth [11:27] A colonial ? Who ? [11:27] knightwise: dr who? [11:27] bashrc: are you sure that was a wise move ? [11:28] MooDoo: Very clever earthling [11:28] I managed to fix my synapic pointer issue on my thinkpad last night [11:28] needed to downgrade the bios to a previous version and then all was honkey dorey [11:29] * knightwise did have to use windows to do it [11:29] brrr [11:47] cold knightwise ;) [12:10] Hmm.. i'm trying out the ubuntu-after-install script that they have out there [12:10] pretty convenient if you want to automate a workstations post-install [12:47] TheOpenSourcerer: http://www.computerweekly.com/news/2240211011/Avon-drops-SAP-big-bang-transformation [12:47] yummy, ham and cheese toastie, day2. [12:47] heh, just made the kids cheese toasties [12:47] they love them [12:47] :) [12:51] popey: that is a sizeable failure! [12:58] The place I used to work for have just finally got rid of it after a pretty failed install/go live [12:59] About £6m in total [13:27] popey: Ouch. $125m down the pan... [13:28] what are we talking about? i missed a bit of the convo [13:29] foobarry: http://www.computerweekly.com/news/2240211011/Avon-drops-SAP-big-bang-transformation [13:30] I'd be tempted to buy the bits to make a steam machine for the lounge at some point [13:30] anyone plauyed with steamos yet just seing that comment of popey 's [13:31] not much to play with really if you're already used to steam on linux [13:32] popey, now we know the basics of the os, the next interesting bit will be the controllers shipping in bulk [13:33] popey, also all the steamos boxes and games announced in early jan at CES [13:33] yeah, looking forward to trying those new ones [13:33] i like the look of that one that goes on the back of the telly [13:33] well, i like the *idea* of it [13:33] golly, I have 96 linux games in steam [13:36] that all? :p [13:36] ☻ [13:36] bit of a steam newb really [13:37] most come from humble bundles I suspect [13:44] is it worth getting a motherboard with legacy PCI still? [13:46] it's basically a choice between 4x PCIe and 2x PCIe + 2x PCI [13:50] ali1234: I'd say you only need PCI if you already have PCI cards you want to use - you're unlikely to need it for anything new. [13:56] http://www.ebuyer.com/lists/list/279637 [14:01] speakers? [14:01] or a cable to take audio from sound card to screen [14:04] ali1234, which PCI device do you want to use? [14:04] ali1234, i can't even remember the last time PCI made sense [14:07] PCI just reminds me we have a PCI DSS assessment in a month... ugh [14:26] http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nition/scraps-customisable-vehicle-combat-for-windows-mac [14:26] that looks hilarious [14:30] like KSP for cars [14:31] yeah [14:31] some of the ridiculous cars in the video are funny [14:34] http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/15/datawind-ubislate/ [14:34] very cheap tablet [14:34] (and probably crap) [14:34] banjo kazooie: nuts & bolts for xbox 360 [14:34] did the "build a vehicle" thing a long time ago [14:38] http://kotaku.com/minecraft-is-coming-to-the-playstation-3-tomorrow-acco-1484097768 [14:40] but not in the UK popey :( [14:41] oh, region specific.. bummer [14:51] popey have you seen nextcargame? [14:51] also my dad already has speakers [14:52] no, wow [15:02] * Seeker` is worried that Boston Dynamics + Google = Skynet [15:03] Seeker`: Not until they strap IBM Watson to it ;-) [15:03] ball: I wouldn't run that past google... [15:05] It's the Forbin Project all over again! [15:05] Watson will know that Google/General Dynamics exists [15:05] ...and will demand to be spliced onto it. :-) [15:05] so does this make "don't be evil" a defence contractor now? [15:08] shauno: no [15:12] has anyone else experienced slowness after resuming from suspend? [15:12] I think i've been seeing it for over a year, [15:13] i've gone through 12.10 to 13.10, and i still have it [15:13] it's really frustrating === triple-clones is now known as tripleclones === foobarry_ is now known as foobarry [15:30] Hmm... the Ubuntu download page doesn't make it obvious where to find .torrent files [15:31] Ah, if I click back a few times and scroll down...

[18:32] AlanBell: 800x480? Isn't that the PSP screen res?

[18:57] http://gu.com/p/3y75k [18:58] lol [18:58] it has no answers :-D [20:05] MartijnVdS: very clever [20:06] Myrtti: it is because they say it like that, today is "December 13th" to them, and not "the 13th of December" [20:06] but they don't know why they say it the wrong way round [20:14] laziness [20:15] they don't say "December 13th" they say "December 13" [20:15] Extreme lazy ☻ [20:26] ah, you are right [20:26] I think the more interesting question is why don't we write the month first? [20:26] yyy-mm-dd is defensible [20:26] yyyy-mm-dd is more defensible than that [20:30] it seems we used to write the month first. now we don't. and I can't narrow down the shift between them at all [20:51] oh [20:51] my [20:51] gawd [20:51] http://www.magdalenahai.com/joulu-saapuu-mordoriin-pipar-dur/ [21:06] Myrtti: please do not take this as being against the Coc [21:06] Myrtti: but are all Finnish people that weird?
