TwistedLucidityJamesTait: Happy Setting Orange, the 24th day of Confusion08:45
JamesTaitTwistedLucidity, only the 24th?  I'm sure I've been confused for longer than that.  Or maybe I'm just confusing dates....08:45

TwistedLuciditypopey: Not if you are a facebook network engineer it isn't08:48
awilkinsWhat happened to Facebook?08:49
MooDooit went down for about 30 mins the world  blew up08:49
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)08:49
awilkinsOh dear. I'm so sad.08:49
popeymeh08:49
popeyprobably the 20 pictures I uploaded last night, must be ☻08:49
awilkinsI see their new intelligence gathering effort is to promote people to gather more visual intelligence08:50
awilkinsie - that new Snapchat app where you pay to see your friends astounding pictures by uploading your own08:50
MooDooI guess they must have just installed their steganography code into FB this morning then which is why  it went down ;)08:51
awilkinsThe notion that Facebook is somehow not a joint venture of NSA / GCHQ continues to be eroded08:51
jpdsawilkins: You're suggesting Facebook are doing a truecrypt?08:51
* awilkins waves at the SigInt techs monitoring this channel08:51
awilkinsjpds, Naah, I don't think Facebook ever had any kind of notion of privacy, unlike TC devs08:52
awilkinsFacebook ENCOURAGE you to give them more intelligence.... "Mark your friends in these photos! (to train our facial recogniser)"    "Enjoy our new app that only lets you see your friends photos if you upload your own! (so we can increase the amount of photos we can process - we delete them all, promise! After we store all the metadata!)"08:54

ali1234if two people each have a secret number, is it possible for them to compute the bitwise-AND of their numbers, without either of them revealing their number to the other, and without a trusted third party?09:17
foobarrysomebody coding in mono on the HPC cluster :S09:17
foobarryali1234: sounds like you need a computationally difficult hash key too?09:18
directhexfoobarry, there are worse things09:19
directhexfoobarry, like matlab09:19
foobarryno, matlab is better for HPC09:19
foobarrywell it lets users easily do things on the cluster ..09:19

TwistedLucidityThat's a bit discriminatory.09:34

ali1234TwistedLucidity: i don't understand the last point09:46
ali1234why does it link to a PDF about fish stocks?09:46
TwistedLucidityali1234: An example of non-human genders?09:47
ali1234do catfish have different genders to humans?09:48
TwistedLucidityAlthough I see no listing of any kind of gender09:48
TwistedLucidityAmphibians would have been better - some can change theirs09:48
dwatkinsGive it time, and we'll be able to do that.09:50
TwistedLucidityAll the examples in that "series" are basically failing to consider the possibility of edge cases. Everything gets complicated when you look hard enough, but after a certain point you can consider those cases to be beyond scope.09:50
TwistedLuciditye.g. M/F is prolly good enough for general use, but not for a medical context.09:51

popeyamusingly the _difference_ between your speed and mine is faster than I ever got on ADSL ☻13:54
davmor2popey: I got a few browser open maybe :D  You know when chromium looks like a castle at the top rather than a browser and it has to expand the tab to fit the close x in :)13:56
popeyI have been reigning in my tab usage13:58

bigcalmdavmor2: lucky man, I'm still stuck down here http://www.speedtest.net/result/3573256499.png13:59
MyrttiI stepped on a teapot shard we had missed to clean up and it lodged into my foot. Plenty of blood, lightheadedness, pain and inarticulate screming, panic sweats and tears.13:59
Myrttithis was yesterday14:00
bigcalmAnd I'll drop to a lower speed once I move to FTTC. But upload will be waaaaaaaaaaaaay faster14:00
davmor2popey: I opened every app in the apps queue and am slowly working through them there were a few.  About 10 tabs ago I finally got it so the tabs didn't move off the edge of the screen :)14:00
davmor2popey: and that is only Browser 1 there are then 2 other Chromium browser windows and 2 Firefox ones too :)14:02

MartijnVdSnot great14:21

dogmatic69I am running incron with a root file that should be executing a file but I get permission denied. Any idea why root can not execute a file?15:42
dogmatic69this is from syslog http://pastebin.com/c3vXtKjk15:43
awilkinsdogmatic69, at a guess, the file doesn't have the x bit set15:53
dogmatic69awilkins:  its being sourced15:53
awilkinsdogmatic69, You mean it's in a VCS?15:54
dogmatic69(. /foo/bar/script.sh)15:54
awilkinsAh15:54
dogmatic69and the actual script is just doing things like "composer update"15:55
dogmatic69I can source the file as root, but its only when "root" does it through incron it seems15:55

diddledanstick a *cough*dows*cough* box in a cupboard with a meaty gfx and play games on your lappy with integrated gfx at max settings17:31
ali1234but i don't want to17:31
directhexbigcalm, i love ME, but it's not for everyone17:34
directhexali1234, xcom released today & is excellent17:34
directhexand civ5 a week or two ago17:34
ali1234not really bothered about xcom, i can just play openxcom instead and it's better17:36
popeyblimey, didnt know about openxcom17:37
ali1234they released 1.0 about a week ago17:37
popeyhas gollup spoken about it?17:37
ali1234i've played it through t completion and found two bugs, which they fixed before release17:37
popeyseems a bit cheeky ripping off the gfx17:37
ali1234you need to get the game files yourself17:38
popeyah okay17:38
ali1234i believe it works with the version on steam17:38
ali1234they fixed all the bugs and annoying things too. like openxcom remembers your loadouts so you don't have to equip everyone at the start of every mission17:41
ali1234and objects stack on the floor, and there's no 80 item limit bug where everyone has a rifle and no ammo17:41
MartijnVdSSteam sale!17:44
diddledanWHEEEEEEE18:11
daftykinsi received a processor today!18:13
MartijnVdSdaftykins: what kind?18:13
daftykinsa free LGA775 core 2 duo E675018:13
diddledanfreebies?18:14
MartijnVdSisn't E6750 like.. 5ish years old?18:14
diddledanthat's not fair18:14
daftykinssure is18:14
daftykinseverything i have in desktop form is LGA775 :)18:14
daftykinshowever my file server is currently on a 2GHz pentium dual core E2180...18:14
daftykinshttps://www.dropbox.com/s/t50j9taoxabambb/IMG_20140619_173921.jpg18:17
diddledanlove this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmPM-LZ-6y818:26
daftykinsonly thing about that c2d is it came out of a machine that died apparently, so it's unknown as to whether it works18:34
daftykinsi'm kinda umming and arring about whether it'd do any harm to my gear by testing it in the target system18:34
daftykinsi'm sure it'll be fine ^_^18:34
diddledanI wouldn't expect a faulty cpu to damage the mobo18:35
diddledanbut that's just my theory, I have no evidential proof18:35
diddledanI found that LGA775 mobos are hard to find these days18:36
diddledaneven more so the cpus18:37
daftykinsindeedy18:41
daftykinsi think last time i looked i saw two or three LGA775 mATX boards on ebuyer18:42
diddledanyeah they don't seem to do full-sized lga775 boards now18:42
daftykinsmy gear is pretty old school :)18:42
daftykinsQ6600 LGA775 desktop with 8GB DDR2, then that current E2180 pentium dual core in the server with 4GB DDR218:43
