| MooDoo | omg how stupid | 08:00 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all; happy Friday, and happy Lost Sock Memorial Day! :-D | 08:01 |
| MartijnVdS | JamesTait: There's a special day for everything... | 08:03 |
| nigelb | Tomorrow should be the day for celebrating all special days. | 08:03 |
| JamesTait | MartijnVdS, I think it follows on from yesterday's No Socks Day. ;) | 08:04 |
| MartijnVdS | nigelb: so meta :) | 08:04 |
| JamesTait | nigelb, I like it! | 08:04 |
| nigelb | :D | 08:04 |
| nigelb | MartijnVdS: So, it'll be called Meta Day? | 08:05 |
| MartijnVdS | nigelb: probably | 08:06 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Myrtti: the USPTO are a complete bunch of numpties. It would appear you can patent *anything* in the US. | 08:09 |
| Myrtti | indeed | 08:09 |
| MooDoo | so my friend who works at the concert hall here in nottingham has to explain to a patron who was waiting by the stage door that elvis was in fact deceased so there is no point in waiting for an autograph! | 08:10 |
| TwistedLucidity | MooDoo: Whut? | 08:11 |
| MooDoo | TwistedLucidity: yeah exactly | 08:11 |
| TwistedLucidity | MooDoo: Elvis isn't dead, he just went home. | 08:11 |
| popey | Uh-huh. | 08:11 |
| MooDoo | lol | 08:12 |

| ujjain2 | Does the bank hvae to know your NI number? | 08:30 |
| mapps | no | 08:30 |
| mapps | odd question to ask though | 08:30 |
| mapps | but , no..i signed up for a new barclays current ac few weeks back and they never asked | 08:31 |

| foobarry | could a defective pixel on a screen been caused by phyiscal shock? | 09:29 |
| foobarry | i.e. if the laptop was dropped upon delivery | 09:30 |
| ali1234 | theoretically, sure | 09:30 |
| ali1234 | it is incredibly unlikely though | 09:30 |
| ali1234 | they are usually caused during the manufacturing process | 09:30 |
| foobarry | the laptop was dropped on delivery | 09:31 |
| foobarry | that fact is establshed | 09:31 |
| ali1234 | physical damage is more likely to kill an entire row or column of pixels | 09:32 |
| MooDoo | hmmm it could of caused the damaage, you just don't know | 09:37 |
| foobarry | can iptables use -m multiport -p tcp --dport 443,22 -p udp --dport 123,161 -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request all on oneline? | 09:44 |
| MartijnVdS | I don't think you can do UDP + TCP on line line like that | 09:47 |
| awilkins | foobarry, Probably not... dead pixels usually a manufacturing defect | 10:00 |
| awilkins | foobarry, Sometimes you can massage them back into life | 10:01 |
| awilkins | I've been really lucky with them I think, I've got 1 on all the screens I use, and that's a crappy old Dell 1280x1024 4:3 corporate dronebox screen | 10:02 |
| awilkins | Have had a whole screen die though | 10:02 |
| foobarry | i got a werid streak of dead ones appear one week before my 3yr warrany came up | 10:02 |
| foobarry | got a new screen and hinge \o/ | 10:03 |
| awilkins | Not buying Viewsonic again | 10:03 |
| awilkins | It was nothing but trouble | 10:03 |
| awilkins | Had to have it replaced under warranty (twice, I think) because the EDID kept blanking out so nothing would drive it at the right resolution | 10:04 |
| MartijnVdS | I only buy Dell screens | 10:04 |
| awilkins | And then it just gave up the ghost | 10:04 |
| awilkins | I used to swear by Iiyama | 10:04 |
| foobarry | we've had 100s of dell screens in our workplace, very good lifetime | 10:05 |
| awilkins | But I think that's a CRT-centric opinion and I don't think it necessarily holds true for LCD panels | 10:05 |
| awilkins | I have an Asus for my primary panel now, one of the fancy 3D enabled beaties | 10:05 |
| awilkins | beasties | 10:05 |
| awilkins | 1920x1080 is nice, but I still miss screens with 1200 or more vertical pixels | 10:06 |
| awilkins | I had a 1600x1200 15" panel on my laptop .... 15 years ago | 10:07 |
| awilkins | Stupid TV industry | 10:07 |
| awilkins | At least the 4k revolution will be good for something | 10:07 |
| awilkins | Catching up to where we should have been a decade ago... GERROFF MY LAWN | 10:08 |
| foobarry | my sister offered me her old lcd tv | 10:10 |
| foobarry | might actually get a tv with a modern socket | 10:10 |
| foobarry | now what to buy to go with it...chromecast? rasp pi? | 10:27 |
| Myrtti | if you consider rasp pi as a complete computer, I'd recommend chromecast for pure tv usage | 10:28 |
| Myrtti | I find it easier to search stuff on my mobile and casting them to the tv rather than whipping out the keyboard and doing the Youtube/Plex search on the mac mini we've got hooked up | 10:29 |
| Myrtti | obviously YMMV | 10:30 |
| foobarry | thats helpful | 10:30 |
| foobarry | what can you cast? | 10:30 |
| foobarry | iplayer, youtube, browser? | 10:30 |
| Myrtti | plex, youtube, bbc iplayer is what we use | 10:30 |
| foobarry | mainly for vid content? | 10:30 |
| Myrtti | yeah. Music too if you've got stuff in Google Play Music | 10:30 |
| foobarry | i do | 10:30 |
| Myrtti | oh, and Doggcatcher. It's not brilliant yet but it's sufficient | 10:31 |
| Myrtti | netflix if we had it, BT sport if we were interested enough to have it | 10:32 |
| Myrtti | Google Movies/TV is fairly reasonably priced | 10:33 |
| jussi | there are plugins for the browser for just about any web video, aside fom flash | 10:41 |
| jussi | foobarry: ^^ | 10:42 |
| jussi | and if you have media on your device, there are many progams that support castign ofr normal media playback | 10:43 |
| foobarry | GPU lockups make foobarry sad | 10:48 |
| foobarry | nouveau meh | 10:48 |
| foobarry | my wife buys dvds | 10:51 |
| foobarry | i'm sure its cheaper to stream since she rarely watches more than once | 10:51 |
| foobarry | actually she watches it on her own | 10:52 |
| foobarry | then we watch it together a little time later :S | 10:52 |
| foobarry | if its not a chick flick | 10:52 |
| jussi | foobarry: just admit it, you watch the chickflicks together | 10:55 |
| foobarry | nevr! | 10:56 |
| foobarry | she wouldn't enjoy it if i was there | 10:57 |
| popey | can't remember the last dvd I bought | 11:00 |
| foobarry | the hobbit pt2 | 11:04 |
| foobarry | before that, was gravity | 11:04 |
| foobarry | we lent it to parents in law etc too | 11:05 |
| popey | there's a hobbit pt 2? | 11:24 |
| popey | I liked gravity, watched that twice | 11:25 |
| Myrtti | sure, and there'll be pt 3 | 11:25 |
| davmor2 | popey: there are going to be 3 parts to the hobbit by the look of it | 11:25 |
| jussi | I note netflix still doesnt have shawshank redemption :P | 11:31 |
| popey | jussi: uk has it | 11:32 |
| jussi | crap, netflix price just went up... | 11:32 |
| popey | not for me for 2 years ☻ | 11:33 |
| jussi | yeah yeah | 11:33 |
| MartijnVdS | early adopter bonus | 11:38 |
| MartijnVdS | Mine is going up in 2 years as well | 11:38 |
| jussi | I have to make a decision whether I use it enough to keep it... | 11:38 |
| jussi | Im still in my trial... | 11:38 |
| MooDoo | jussi: i signed up the other day then my kids discovered it | 11:41 |
| popey | my whole family use it | 11:45 |
| popey | chromecast, iphone, android... | 11:45 |
| jussi | I just dont actually watch that much tele... | 11:46 |
| awilkins | Watch Netflix more than broadcast TV now | 11:51 |
| awilkins | And I have a MythTV box so my TV watching pattern was pretty much on-demand anyway | 11:51 |
| awilkins | CAn't even be bothered to check the broadcast schedule for things to record now | 11:52 |
| awilkins | Things that I had scheduled already get the occasional watching binge | 11:52 |
| popey | I watch a fair amount of netflix and youtube, and a bit of recorded telly - The Daily Show | 11:56 |

| foobarry | amazon won't let me buy an mp3 album unless i setup one click | 12:43 |
| foobarry | thats new. | 12:43 |
| foobarry | ugh. have to add to mp3 basket | 12:45 |
| foobarry | weird | 12:45 |
| TwistedLucidity | Buy elsewhere? | 12:48 |
| TwistedLucidity | Or buy CD and rip at home | 12:48 |
| foobarry | at £2.99 for the album? | 12:48 |
| foobarry | or 9.99 for cd | 12:48 |
| TwistedLucidity | play.com used to be able to beat Amazon on many thing, not sure if that's still true. | 12:51 |
| foobarry | this is why hmv died | 12:51 |
| TwistedLucidity | And there's awlays iTunes. :-) | 12:51 |
| foobarry | play.com is no longer real | 12:51 |
| foobarry | itunes is not viable | 12:51 |
| TwistedLucidity | I knew it had changed | 12:51 |
| foobarry | its play.google or amazons | 12:51 |
| TwistedLucidity | Hmmm....smell the freedom! | 12:51 |
| awilkins | Yeah, I still check the CD prices because i) they are often cheaper ii) you get a hardcopy that isn't compressed | 12:52 |
| foobarry | freedom comes at a cost | 12:52 |
| foobarry | everyone has a price | 12:52 |
| awilkins | play.com is fubar since they ditched the Jersey loophole | 12:52 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: 7 digital | 12:55 |
| awilkins | I really liked AllOfMp3.com | 12:57 |
| awilkins | Ok, they were the Russian Mafia | 12:58 |
| awilkins | But they gave a good service | 12:58 |
| TwistedLucidity | And with a CD you sometimes get a free gift (a rootkit :-S) | 13:00 |
| MartijnVdS | TwistedLucidity: some CDs come with bonus material to download | 13:00 |
| shauno | hah, yeah - the russian mafia weren't all that bad | 13:01 |
| awilkins | Only get a rootkit if you stick it in a Winders box | 13:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | awilkins: For now, yes. I wouldn't put it past someone to try again. Why Sony was never punished escapes me. | 13:14 |

| foobarry | can someone remind me again pls... | 13:48 |
| foobarry | subject alternate name.. | 13:48 |
| foobarry | hostname is blah-01.meh and the apache site is monkey.com | 13:48 |
| foobarry | which one is the commonName? and which is the alt_name? | 13:49 |
| directhex | generally cn=hostname and altname is DNS:websiteonthisserver,DNS:anotherwebsiteonthisserver | 13:51 |
| foobarry | somebody with 2 votes says "The general rules for this: CN - put here your main URL (for compatiblity) SAN - put all your domain here, repeat the CN because its not in right place there, but its used for that..." | 13:51 |
| foobarry | i'll go with directhex recommended config | 13:52 |
| foobarry | ta | 13:52 |
| directhex | apache expects cn=hostname | 13:53 |
| directhex | it'll throw a warning (not an error) otherwise | 13:53 |
| foobarry | that would be bad | 13:53 |

| mapps | not interested in contacts at all? | 18:08 |
| daftykins | i trialled them once but things were behaving a bit odd | 18:09 |
| daftykins | then i had a lot of travel so wasn't at home to carry on | 18:09 |
| daftykins | so i'd have to start from scratch again if i wanted to, not really keen on the ongoing cost though really | 18:10 |

| robotninja | nice :D I've just picked up an i7 860 from fleabay, tempted to try to crank a bit more out of it when I get a decent cooler | 19:47 |
| daftykins | i run stock. | 19:47 |
| daftykins | it's a happy life, i get to use it instead of constantly stress test and cry when it fails a 24hr prime95 | 19:48 |
| daftykins | or stress over stability as summer approaches :> | 19:48 |
| diddledan_ | or worry about warranty violations | 19:49 |
| * diddledan_ violates | 19:49 | |
| robotninja | warranty? All I'm hoping for is that mine isn't stolen ;) | 19:50 |
| diddledan_ | sorry, family friendly | 19:50 |
| daftykins | lol | 19:52 |
| daftykins | that's the only reason i phoned up amazon to check i could keep the 2TB HDD when they sent me it instead of a 1TB | 19:52 |
| daftykins | didn't want the warranty to be forfeit | 19:52 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: I haven't stress tested or prime95'd in...2 years? | 19:56 |
| Azelphur | and, my CPU will stay very cool over summer, a stock cooler probably will struggle under load :) | 19:56 |
| shauno | never had that problem .. we don't have summers :) | 19:57 |

| Armag3dd0n1 | im dying :/ | 21:18 |
| ali1234 | not really. it depends very much on what hardware you have and what software you run | 21:18 |
| Armag3dd0n1 | ugh | 21:19 |
| Armag3dd0n1 | i've tried everything and failed lol | 21:19 |
| ali1234 | if you install lubuntu and lock the CPU to the lowest power mode then you will probably see a fairly large increase in battery life | 21:19 |
