[06:22] there's that 24year old in court for fraud took millions of money on some ponzi scheme promising big returns lol [06:22] blew 200k in some fancy club in one night..200k of others money [06:22] turned out he worked as a catering assistant nothing to do with finance whatsoever [06:22] but greedy people see 500% return..woah [06:23] sigh [06:28] people are so greedy...

[06:38] except the top pic is a bit like the company I work at (which releases the software under EUPL) [06:39] yes its also like the company I'm working at [06:43] http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/05/four-weeks-on-huge-swaths-of-the-internet-remain-vulnerable-to-heartbleed/ [07:06] http://www.estofex.org/cgi-bin/polygon/showforecast.cgi?text=yes&fcstfile=2014051006_201405082031_1_stormforecast.xml [07:29] morning all [07:29] MooDoo: http://ubuntu.technology what's that 1.888 phone number at the top?

[07:55] Myrtti: heh ☻ [08:00] omg how stupid [08:01] Good morning all; happy Friday, and happy Lost Sock Memorial Day! :-D [08:03] JamesTait: There's a special day for everything... [08:03] Tomorrow should be the day for celebrating all special days. [08:04] MartijnVdS, I think it follows on from yesterday's No Socks Day. ;) [08:04] nigelb: so meta :) [08:04] nigelb, I like it! [08:04] :D [08:05] MartijnVdS: So, it'll be called Meta Day? [08:06] nigelb: probably [08:09] Myrtti: the USPTO are a complete bunch of numpties. It would appear you can patent *anything* in the US. [08:09] indeed [08:10] 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! [08:11] MooDoo: Whut? [08:11] TwistedLucidity: yeah exactly [08:11] MooDoo: Elvis isn't dead, he just went home. [08:11] Uh-huh. [08:12] lol [08:12] TwistedLucidity++ [08:12] MIB ♥ [08:22] To live with E.T. ? [08:27] 15MB/s downloading an ubuntu iso [08:27] did I get upgraded without knowing it?! [08:28] hmm maybe I did know about it but just forgot [08:28] 120 rings a bell [08:30] Does the bank hvae to know your NI number?\ [08:30] Does the bank hvae to know your NI number? [08:30] no [08:30] odd question to ask though [08:31] but , no..i signed up for a new barclays current ac few weeks back and they never asked [08:43] http://gaspull.geeksaresexytech.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/wonder1.jpg [08:43] yup [08:43] thor3 ftw [08:50] *horse-ninja ftw [08:50] wtf? [08:59] Thor 4, the next generation... http://i.imgur.com/4sNxI3T.jpg [09:04] morning boys and girls. [09:05] morning brobostigon [09:05] morning MooDoo === ujjain2 is now known as ujjain [09:29] could a defective pixel on a screen been caused by phyiscal shock? [09:30] i.e. if the laptop was dropped upon delivery [09:30] theoretically, sure [09:30] it is incredibly unlikely though [09:30] they are usually caused during the manufacturing process [09:31] the laptop was dropped on delivery [09:31] that fact is establshed [09:32] physical damage is more likely to kill an entire row or column of pixels [09:37] hmmm it could of caused the damaage, you just don't know [09:44] can iptables use -m multiport -p tcp --dport 443,22 -p udp --dport 123,161 -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request all on oneline? [09:47] I don't think you can do UDP + TCP on line line like that [10:00] foobarry, Probably not... dead pixels usually a manufacturing defect [10:01] foobarry, Sometimes you can massage them back into life [10:02] 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] Have had a whole screen die though [10:02] i got a werid streak of dead ones appear one week before my 3yr warrany came up [10:03] got a new screen and hinge \o/ [10:03] Not buying Viewsonic again [10:03] It was nothing but trouble [10:04] 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] I only buy Dell screens [10:04] And then it just gave up the ghost [10:04] I used to swear by Iiyama [10:05] we've had 100s of dell screens in our workplace, very good lifetime [10:05] But I think that's a CRT-centric opinion and I don't think it necessarily holds true for LCD panels [10:05] I have an Asus for my primary panel now, one of the fancy 3D enabled beaties [10:05] beasties [10:06] 1920x1080 is nice, but I still miss screens with 1200 or more vertical pixels [10:07] I had a 1600x1200 15" panel on my laptop .... 15 years ago [10:07] Stupid TV industry [10:07] At least the 4k revolution will be good for something [10:08] Catching up to where we should have been a decade ago... GERROFF MY LAWN [10:10] my sister offered me her old lcd tv [10:10] might actually get a tv with a modern socket [10:27] now what to buy to go with it...chromecast? rasp pi? [10:28] if you consider rasp pi as a complete computer, I'd recommend chromecast for pure tv usage [10:29] 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 [10:30] obviously YMMV [10:30] thats helpful [10:30] what can you cast? [10:30] iplayer, youtube, browser? [10:30] plex, youtube, bbc iplayer is what we use [10:30] mainly for vid content? [10:30] yeah. Music too if you've got stuff in Google Play Music [10:30] i do [10:31] oh, and Doggcatcher. It's not brilliant yet but it's sufficient [10:32] netflix if we had it, BT sport if we were interested enough to have it [10:33] Google Movies/TV is fairly reasonably priced [10:41] there are plugins for the browser for just about any web video, aside fom flash [10:42] foobarry: ^^ [10:43] and if you have media on your device, there are many progams that support castign ofr normal media playback [10:48] GPU lockups make foobarry sad [10:48] nouveau meh [10:51] my wife buys dvds [10:51] i'm sure its cheaper to stream since she rarely watches more than once [10:52] actually she watches it on her own [10:52] then we watch it together a little time later :S [10:52] if its not a chick flick [10:55] foobarry: just admit it, you watch the chickflicks together [10:56] nevr! [10:57] she wouldn't enjoy it if i was there [11:00] can't remember the last dvd I bought [11:04] the hobbit pt2 [11:04] before that, was gravity [11:05] we lent it to parents in law etc too [11:24] there's a hobbit pt 2? [11:25] I liked gravity, watched that twice [11:25] sure, and there'll be pt 3 [11:25] popey: there are going to be 3 parts to the hobbit by the look of it [11:31] I note netflix still doesnt have shawshank redemption :P [11:32] jussi: uk has it [11:32] crap, netflix price just went up... [11:33] not for me for 2 years ☻ [11:33] yeah yeah [11:38] early adopter bonus [11:38] Mine is going up in 2 years as well [11:38] I have to make a decision whether I use it enough to keep it... [11:38] Im still in my trial... [11:41] jussi: i signed up the other day then my kids discovered it [11:45] my whole family use it [11:45] chromecast, iphone, android... [11:46] I just dont actually watch that much tele... [11:51] Watch Netflix more than broadcast TV now [11:51] And I have a MythTV box so my TV watching pattern was pretty much on-demand anyway [11:52] CAn't even be bothered to check the broadcast schedule for things to record now [11:52] Things that I had scheduled already get the occasional watching binge [11:56] I watch a fair amount of netflix and youtube, and a bit of recorded telly - The Daily Show [12:12] Good morning peeps :) === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:43] amazon won't let me buy an mp3 album unless i setup one click [12:43] thats new. [12:45] ugh. have to add to mp3 basket [12:45] weird [12:48] Buy elsewhere? [12:48] Or buy CD and rip at home [12:48] at £2.99 for the album? [12:48] or 9.99 for cd [12:51] play.com used to be able to beat Amazon on many thing, not sure if that's still true. [12:51] this is why hmv died [12:51] And there's awlays iTunes. :-) [12:51] play.com is no longer real [12:51] itunes is not viable [12:51] I knew it had changed [12:51] its play.google or amazons [12:51] Hmmm....smell the freedom! [12:52] Yeah, I still check the CD prices because i) they are often cheaper ii) you get a hardcopy that isn't compressed [12:52] freedom comes at a cost [12:52] everyone has a price [12:52] play.com is fubar since they ditched the Jersey loophole [12:55] foobarry: 7 digital [12:57] I really liked AllOfMp3.com [12:58] Ok, they were the Russian Mafia [12:58] But they gave a good service [13:00] And with a CD you sometimes get a free gift (a rootkit :-S) [13:00] TwistedLucidity: some CDs come with bonus material to download [13:01] hah, yeah - the russian mafia weren't all that bad [13:09] Only get a rootkit if you stick it in a Winders box [13:14] awilkins: For now, yes. I wouldn't put it past someone to try again. Why Sony was never punished escapes me. [13:19] hi....... everyone === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:48] can someone remind me again pls... [13:48] subject alternate name.. [13:48] hostname is blah-01.meh and the apache site is monkey.com [13:49] which one is the commonName? and which is the alt_name? [13:51] generally cn=hostname and altname is DNS:websiteonthisserver,DNS:anotherwebsiteonthisserver [13:51] 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..." [13:52] i'll go with directhex recommended config [13:52] ta [13:53] apache expects cn=hostname [13:53] it'll throw a warning (not an error) otherwise [13:53] that would be bad [13:54] item.ebay.com/291125433026 [13:54] new ffos phone [14:01] * bigcalm strokes his pretty new SGS5 [14:06] * popey strokes his old ffos phone [14:07] popey: do you still have that picture of your cat sitting on your decoy keyboard, by any chance? [14:07] decoy? [14:07] I seem to remember you had a second keyboard for the cat to sit on because it would always sit on your keyboard. [14:07] dont think i have a photo [14:08] ah ok, no worries [14:08] perhaps I dreamed it ;) [14:08] and he's not easily fooled! [14:08] smart kitty [14:09] * SuperEngineer imagines popey with a second keyboard - a.k.a. a cat bat ;) [14:09] meeeoooooww [dopler effect required] === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOW [17:32] hmm not a penguin in sight [17:46] man, I've scrubbed this mouse like it's contagious, and it's still too lumpy to play games with :/ [17:46] D: [17:57] evening [17:57] a penguin daftykins? [17:57] heyup [17:58] yes, i thought he might be interested in some metrics as to my storage setup [17:58] didnt have time for all my tv series before bed:D time for arrowin a bit [17:58] i'm copying the data from old to new now [17:58] ah [17:58] sigh, people at the neighbours being rowdy. [17:59] ah good they're leaving [18:00] :D [18:00] Liberation Day today, so noise is to be expected [18:01] so hard to get to sleep [18:01] didnt get to sleep till 11am [18:01] :( [18:01] hate lying there wanting to sleep..usually take a nytol but run out [18:02] D: [18:03] annoying seeing the time tick away and no nearer to sleeping heh [18:04] worse for me, eyesights so bad i don't see any time display [18:04] oh [18:04] contacts? [18:07] nah only normal specs [18:07] gotta commit to reaching for those or blearily picking up a phone to read though ;) [18:08] heh [18:08] not interested in contacts at all? [18:09] i trialled them once but things were behaving a bit odd [18:09] then i had a lot of travel so wasn't at home to carry on [18:10] so i'd have to start from scratch again if i wanted to, not really keen on the ongoing cost though really [18:11] ah i see [18:11] u can get semi perm ones i thought? [18:11] true, but lol @ taking care of them [18:12] stumbling about in the night applying cleaning solution, haha [18:12] heh [18:12] i'm one of the types that doesn't look right without specs too [18:14] ah [18:17] Guernsey telco infrastructure is so bad, when there's a big event on, you can barely even get a call through ;) [18:22] hah nice [18:22] still on 33.6?

Also tesco crate abuse ftw [19:38] well, for a few days* [19:39] XD [19:39] lol is that a vertically bolted on radiator with 8 x 80/120mm fans? [19:40] daftykins: yup [19:44] Azelphur: is she clocked to the extreme? [19:44] yup [19:44] 1.2ghz overclock on a generation 1 i7l [19:45] D: [19:47] 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] i run stock. [19:48] 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] or stress over stability as summer approaches :> [19:49] or worry about warranty violations [19:49] * diddledan_ violates [19:50] warranty? All I'm hoping for is that mine isn't stolen ;) [19:50] sorry, family friendly [19:52] lol [19:52] 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] didn't want the warranty to be forfeit [19:56] daftykins: I haven't stress tested or prime95'd in...2 years? [19:56] and, my CPU will stay very cool over summer, a stock cooler probably will struggle under load :) [19:57] never had that problem .. we don't have summers :) [20:00] lol [20:01] bbl heading off to xbox, so might rematerialise on the lappy \o [20:11] okay, there is seriously nothing more frustrating than cannonfodder with a dodgy mouse [20:31] anyone from Birmingham?

[21:18] im dying :/ [21:18] not really. it depends very much on what hardware you have and what software you run [21:19] ugh [21:19] i've tried everything and failed lol [21:19] 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] of course, you'll have to put up with lubuntu [21:19] what's lubuntu? [21:19] sorry im new [21:19] a very basic desktop system [21:20] * Armag3dd0n1 looks on google [21:20] does it have a battery monitor? [21:20] probably [21:20] probably? [21:21] yeah, i mean, everything has a battery monitor... [21:22] i've only just install ubuntu 14.04 [21:22] can't i just add it on from terminal? [21:23] yess. it probably isn't what you want though [21:24] i just want something to be good with my battery lol [21:26] it's installing [21:26] hope to god it works [21:26] :/ [21:36] lubuntu doesn't have a power meter :/ ugh!!!
