nuvolario/ oh hi05:23
Symmetrialol, mannn an ISP actually got mad at me because we moved something around and it resulted in them using *3mbit* more traffic ;p 05:23
Symmetriathey are doing 1.5gigabit average, and they are crying about 3mbit? REALLY? like REALLY?05:23
nuvolarireally? lol05:24
nuvolariI would just shush and enjoy05:24
Symmetriathey proposed this immensely complicated setup05:24
Symmetriato give them back their 3mbit05:24
SymmetriaI pointed out that the costs of running and implementing that cost a lot more than the 3mbit did :P05:25
nuvolariIt's like my mom. She'll drive R5 worth's petrol out to get something that's 50c cheaper at another place :P05:26
Symmetriahahaha or like my mom, buy cheap stuff and then wonder why it breaks and then go buy more of the same and end up replacing the same thing 5 times at 3 times the cost of just buying decent stuff in the first place :P05:27
Symmetriathis is why if I buy appliances and stuff, I prefer to spend more the first time and not have to replace later05:27
Symmetriaheh nuvolari check this05:32
Symmetriaso, I was working on something to process html logs 05:32
Symmetriato geo-ip them05:32
SymmetriaI write this thing in php, and it was HOLY HELL slow05:33
Symmetrialol re-wrote it in C and optimized the hell outta it05:33
Symmetrianow05:33
SymmetriaProcessed 4959620 lines... sorting...05:33
Symmetriareal0m30.610s05:33
Symmetrialol thats fast :)05:33
nuvolarigood grief!05:37
SymmetriaProcessed 4993139 lines in 32.000000 seconds [156036 lines/second]05:50
Symmetriaheh there05:50
SymmetriaI put a lines per second calculator in there05:50
Symmetrialol could probably knock half a second off there by removing the line counter as well05:51
nuvolariIIRC the C source was shorter as well?05:57
nuvolariSymmetria: ^^05:57
* nuvolari doesn't really know C :P05:57
Symmetrianuvolari, nah the C source is a fair bit longer05:57
Symmetriaclose to double the length05:58
Symmetriaheh, php handles all your memory for you05:58
Symmetriaand has functions like explode() 05:58
Symmetriawhere as in C, you gotta allocate your own memory all over the place, and to explode etc etc into arrays you gotta do things like strtok() and then duplicate the text into the arrays05:59
Symmetriaheh the other problem with C, once you optimize past a certain level, the readability of the code becomes a bitch06:07
Symmetriabecause you start doing funky things to speed it up and tracking all those optimisations is a whore06:07
ThatGraemeGuymorning peeps06:21

inetprogood as well07:01
Kiloshehe hi there inetpro 07:01
mazalDie gaan is ok die terugkom sukkel oom07:03
Kiloshaha07:03
KilosThatGraemeGuy, dropped things dropped then disappeared back in inventory last night, with a funny little sound, im not sure anymore but i think it was a small ploep sound07:09
Kiloshehe07:09
ThatGraemeGuyyou mean things that dropped because of full inventory?07:09
Kilosno when i dropped them for the pro to pickup07:09
ThatGraemeGuyoh07:10
Kiloshaha was weird07:10
ThatGraemeGuymmmm i added a mod that picks up stuff be walking instead of clicking around like a madman07:10
ThatGraemeGuymaybe try and aim a bit further from you next time07:10
Kilosaha07:10
ThatGraemeGuyor else if it is too sensitive then i'll remove it07:11
Kiloswill try that tonight ty07:11
Kiloslets test it properly first07:11
ThatGraemeGuyits supposed to pick up only when its quite close to you, so maybe you just dropped it too close to your feet07:11
Kilosyip iirc was close07:12
Symmetriahaha I was having an argument with someone, so they produced this presentation to back up their side of the argument, I told them the presentation didn't mean what they said it did, they said, how would I know that, Im like, I know the author, and infact I know the author so well that 15 years ago we didn't speka for a year after I slept with his ex girlfriend 07:12
Symmetria;p07:12
Symmetriathat pretty much ended the debate right there07:12
ThatGraemeGuyi added it because when i'm laser mining and my inventory gets full sometimes i end up with 50+ blocks of things lying there to pick up because i'm working too fast to notice07:12
Kilosya the new tools mine like mad hey07:13
ThatGraemeGuyi'll be moving to quarry mining soon anyway07:13
ThatGraemeGuyso if that mod is too annoying i'll remove it07:13
Kilosno not yet lets first try it 07:14
Kilosso if you walk over dropped things theyll appear in invetory07:14
ThatGraemeGuyyeah, that's what i mean. try it and let me know if it's too annoying07:14
ThatGraemeGuyyes07:14
ThatGraemeGuyif you have the space of course07:15
Kilosthat could be good07:15
ThatGraemeGuyyeah its also nice for when you are going at trees with a chainsaw because they tend to spew stuff onto the ground all over07:15
ThatGraemeGuyso just walk around a bit to pick it all up07:15
Kiloshaha that quarry makes a big hole hey, be tricky to get down there without falling07:16
Kilosmy singleplayer is crashed but works with new name still so i dunno what went wrong07:17
Kilosoi i go sort sheep07:18

mazalGrrrrrr07:59
mazalI'm gonna ask an illegal question now , but it is ubuntu related08:01
mazalAnd darkside08:01
mazalI want to remove file Windows file attributes ( like hidden for example ) from files that is on a usb stick , but I need to do it on a Ubuntu pc. Can it be done ?08:02
ThatGraemeGuyFAT32? NTFS? exFAT?08:03
mazalBoth , some is FAT32 , some is NTFS08:04
mazalDifferent users format different formats08:04
ThatGraemeGuyntfs: http://superuser.com/questions/321109/is-there-a-linux-tool-for-changing-dos-windows-file-attributes08:04
mazalThax08:05
mazalThanx even08:05
ThatGraemeGuyFAT32: http://blogs.gnome.org/diegoe/2012/04/21/removing-the-hiddensystem-bit-of-vfatfat32-files-on-gnulinux/08:05
ThatGraemeGuyinsert standard, "use with caution" disclaimer :-)08:06
ThatGraemeGuyi just googled these, never done it myself08:06
mazalThanx greame08:06
mazalaaaaaaaaaaaag , when Am I gonna learn to spell. Graeme even sorry08:07
ThatGraemeGuyits ok, people have been spelling it wrong my whole life08:07
ThatGraemeGuyi've actually added email aliases to compensate08:08
ThatGraemeGuygraham, greame and grame08:08
Kilosai!08:16
Kiloswhew mazal that question disconnected me08:17
Kiloshexchat didnt show i was ofline08:17
mazalOom your pc just hear the word Windows and it disconnects and runs immediately lol :)08:21
Kiloslol08:25
Kilosits a weird prob it has. modem shows connected but everything is offline08:25
Kilosneed to diable networking and move modem to another usb socket then enable networking again08:26
Kilosdid you see what i asked about the win stuff08:26
Kilosmazal, ?08:27
mazalNope Kilos , didn't see any question08:31
Kilosah i was offline then sorry08:31
Kilosmazal, i dont know but if you open it what do you see08:31
Kilosdoes the view not give you show hidden option08:32
mazalIn Linux I see everything on the sticks. But the problem is it has Windows hidden attributes so in Win pc you can't see the files08:32
mazalIs exactly the same problem as the guy in that first link Graeme posted08:33
Kilosah i didnt see them08:33
mazalSticks gets virus. Virus hides all files and folders. 08:33
mazalCompanie's AV can't even see let alone stop or clean the virus08:33
mazalSo I clean the sticks with a bootable AVG cd. But that is linux based08:34
Kilossjoe08:34
mazalAfter I cleaned the stick I need to reset those attributes.08:34
Kilosaha08:34
mazalIs quick and easy to do on my Win pc , but I have found that AVG also doesn't always clean all the virusses en then they climb onto my pc when doing the attributes08:34
Kilosi think ian has same kinda probs with sticks08:35
mazalSo was looking for a way to do the attributes sommer in Linux08:35
mazalMy pc also only have the companies AV on it , which is useless08:35
Kiloswhat does clamtk say about the virus08:35
mazalclamtk doesn't see the virus also08:35
Kilossjoe08:36
mazalWhat I have at work: clamtk , Mcafee , MSE08:36
mazalNeither of those 3 see this particular virus08:36
Kilosavast?08:36
mazalThe AVG boot cd see it , but doesn't always remove all of it08:36
Kilosi never liked avg it made the pc run at half speed08:37
mazalavast doesn't have a good boot cd option. Remember it's the works pc , I am not allowed to just install stuff08:37
mazalAVG boot cd works great actually08:37
Kilosoi08:37
mazalLinux based08:37
mazalIs a very bad problem to have when your network is not protected and the managers don't want to do anything about it08:38
mazalI have to clean at least 2 pc's and 10 sticks every day08:38
Kiloshasnt avg then got a forum for help. im sure they would like to know about it and get a fix going08:38
Kiloseina08:38
mazalAnd I don't even have to tools to do it with08:38
mazalMy only option was the bootable cd one , and AVG is the only one that has manual update as the pc's is not on internet08:39
Kilosdo you get the virus name ever08:39
mazalNah , the normal long trojan.warra.warra.warra08:39
mazalSo far only my home pc see and kills it immediately , and there I have Trend on08:40
Kilosoh wait look at addaware or sometrhing like that08:40
mazalNot allowed to install stuff oom08:40
KilosMaaz, google addaware08:40
MaazKilos: "Ad-Aware Free Antivirus and Antispyware by Lavasoft | Protection ..." http://www.lavasoft.com/ :: "Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ - Lavasoft" http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php :: "Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + - CNET Download.com" http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Free-Antivirus/3000-8022_4-10045910.html :: "addaware problems. | AfterDawn Discussion08:40

Kilosno i mean maybe you could get it for a cd as well08:41
mazalThe one day I sat and whatched visibly how it climbs onto my pc and start changing my files on the stick. And both the Mcafee junk and MSE just sits there and does nothing08:41
Kilosi remember some time back someone had a virus that nothing else fixed and ad aware fixed it08:42
Kiloswow thats a bad one08:42
mazalBut ya , that is Winsux and bad management issue. Not for this forum08:42
mazalI just hoped there is easy way to to the attrib in Linux so I don't have to plug it into my Win pc08:43
Kilosgood to know though, im sure everyone has to do with win pcs now and again08:43
Kilosor even daily08:43
mazalI hate these Win pc's at work08:44
mazalI have at home for gaming as well , but at least there I decide what gets installed and I have proper protection on it. Not like here where I have no say , but I have to fix all the issues08:44
Kiloslol08:44
Kilosoi08:45
mazalok , rant/rave/afpak over08:45
nuvolarieish. ya. winsux is something I avoid. I turned down a pretty nice offer because the environment is a tad too corporate and one is forced to run windows and use outlook09:03
nuvolarithey were using pretty cutting edge technology for some place that corporate09:04
Kiloshmm... we got splits again09:47
SpekkoGotta love this country09:56
Kiloswhat now Spekko 10:03
Kilosthe country is great, just some of the peeps suck10:04
SpekkoThe peeps that are currently controlling the economical and infrastructural flow of the country are baboons (noracismthough)10:06
Spekkonigeria has faster internet than we do :/10:06
SpekkoNIGERIA!10:06
Kilosand kenya10:06
Kilosand most of the rest of the world10:06
Spekkohttp://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/9/10/1347300037654/Crowded-Oshodi-Market-in--008.jpg10:06
Spekkofking10:07
SpekkoNIGERIA10:07
Spekkoyip10:07
SpekkoMost of the world has faster internet than we do.. Sure Nigeria doesnt have as peacefull influences as we do. And they don't have as strong an economical growth either (if we have any growth at all, feels like we're going backwards)10:08
SpekkoAnd I'm aware that there's bigger things happening in the world at the moment, that will probably affect us all10:09
SpekkoBUT10:09
mazalEveryone is too focused on how rich they can get and how much they can suck out of the consumer in this country , rather than what they can provide to the consumer10:10
SpekkoNkandla... Really.. I worked my arse off to pay you that tax money. Nkandla... Oh and CAPS Curriculum10:10
SpekkoYeah okay fair enough, South Africa is filled with a bunch of power hungry bafoons.10:11
SpekkoBut do you want to be king of a pile of crap? or do you want to be king to the playboy mansion?10:11
Kilosyip but we gotta learn to live with it for some years more10:11
SpekkoNah, when I finish my degree, I'm gonna find myself a nice quiet country, live in some remote location and program and script till my eyes melt.10:12
Kilosits asn age old story actually. starts with employers paying minimum wages10:12
Kilosno one seems to realise that happy in their job employees work better10:13
Kilosand so it goes up the line10:13
Kilospersonal enrichment is the flavour of the day10:14
Spekkoyeah, happy employees are WAY more productive.. And so will your company be.10:14
SpekkoI guess it's just a vicious cycle10:14
Kilosbut its world wide10:14
Kilosthere are strikes and protests everywhere10:15
Spekkoone douche decided to enrich himself to gain controll over others (or w/e) and then a stereotype/prejiduce sprang out, and people started doing things not only for the cause of enriching themselves, but also opressing others.10:15
SpekkoAnd then the opress, opress the opress :P10:15
SpekkoAnd so status became more important than community value10:16
Spekkoand who you are, is a means of showing accomplishments, not what you achieved as a team10:17
SpekkoWHOO LOOK AT ME.. I'M PRESIDENT.. And YOU !? You are but a birck layer.10:17
SpekkoWHOO10:17
Spekkooh.. but my team of brick layers build your Nkandla..10:18
SpekkoCan you do that ?10:18
SpekkoCould you even do that in a team?10:18
SpekkoJust because your bank account reflects your exploits, and your title your alliances with baboons that got elected into power because of World Wide propaganda of "Apartheid" & South Africa.. doesn't mean you acomplished anything you flat nosed escrement of a baboon (Little worked up here soz(10:19
mazalhehehe , but very true10:21
Kilosin my inventory or charging , look if its there or lemme just finish installing again please then ill give it to you ok?10:58
mazalBye everyone , have a nice evening12:32
