[09:39] death from above... [09:39] technically it's _a_ greeting :-) [09:41] everytime i wear my dr and quich t-shirt 'eat plutonium death, you disgusting alien weirdos'... :-) [11:17] * penguin42 giggles at Amazon uk offering an Azerty keyboard on discount starting at 9am tomorrow - like about a million bleary eyed people aren't going to notice the Azertyness [14:45] arty noon [14:46] hey [14:46] PC parts arrive today [14:46] * m0nkey_ is excited [14:47] \o/ [14:47] And Windows 8.1 is costing me $107 :/ [14:47] fooey [14:48] Getting $12 off the original $120 price [14:48] pip pip [14:49] wow. it's 99GBP in the UK.. that's $184 CAD [14:49] I'm getting a bargain! [14:49] yeh we're always screwed [14:52] it's a bargin as it's shipped on floppies... :-) [14:56] License purchased [14:57] Heathen [14:57] (says the guy playing GTA IV on Windows 7 [14:57] * zmoylan-pi casts ward evil on the channel :-P [14:58] lol [14:58] Gonna need it for my gaming. Sorry. [15:01] zmoylan-pi: careful,that might clear the channel out completely [15:04] nah the spell only effect chaotic evil so... ... bugger... :-) [15:05] I think I probably come under the chaotic banner [15:05] WHAT?! I need Windows to download Windows?! wtf [15:05] eh? [15:05] i'd have said neutral evil diddledan [15:05] m0nkey_: doesn't it come on a disc? [15:06] I opted for digital download [15:06] aah [15:06] So, I assume that it'll offer an ISO image [15:06] prolly, yeah [15:06] assume... [15:06] No, it offers an executable [15:06] To download/install Windows [15:06] there should be an iso available [15:06] Yeah, but no. [15:07] You have to go looking for it [15:07] Found a tool from microsoft to create a 8.1 iso image [15:07] Of course, it's an executable. [15:07] they like to advertise that installing windows is fun. the first fun is finding the bits you need... [15:07] Heathens for not providing a proper ISO image [15:07] But, I have one now. Just need to find a blank DVD [15:08] ah, firefly alignment chart... :-D http://i.imgur.com/ut1mbBW.jpg [15:08] * m0nkey_ quits (Reason: spell cast by zmoylan-pi [WE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF WINDOWS]) [15:09] :) [15:09] * zmoylan-pi puts up some garlic to flush the vampires out next... [15:19] And i'm going to have to upgrade my Netflix account. [15:19] o_O [15:19] Turns out 2 screen is not enough [15:19] I thought netflix only had one plan [15:20] i.e. all you can eat or nothing [15:20] Here, I got three options. 1 screen SD, 2 screens + HD and 4 screens + HD&UltraHD. [15:20] o_O [15:20] that's sucky [15:20] we just have "netflix" [15:21] You got Netflix, check out your account plan details. [15:21] I'm guessing you have additional options [15:21] we only get one option. I can haz moneys or I can no haz moneys. [15:23] it does seem to vary though, eg the US still has dvd-by-mail plans, which never existed here [15:23] We dont have the dvd mailing option [15:24] Two streams isn't enough, as I found out yesterday. Both kids had something different on tablets. So we I went to watch, it told me "Too many sessions" [15:24] oh huh, I do get three options. I don't recall being offered options [15:24] Kids these days, don't know how easy they got it. [15:24] i think you disable the kids wifi and free yourself some bandwith :-) [15:25] I remember having to wait a whole 10 mins to download a 10 second mpeg from a por^H^H^H video site. [15:25] i remember having to wait 10 minutes to load a zx spectrum game thank you very much :-) [15:25] Heh, I miss my ZX81 [15:25] but it was star glider so it was worth it [15:25] Manic Miner! [15:26] docking complete! [15:27] Or my personal favourite, Rik Mayall's - How to be a complete b*****d game [15:27] I miss that guy [15:27] He was so funny [15:27] i watched the young ones and blackadder since, total brilliance [15:28] You should also re-watch Bottom [15:28] and that too, slipped my mind [15:28] have them on dvd [15:29] bottom was mad [15:29] off-the-wall doens't quite cover it methinks [15:29] # Wait a minute Mr UPS guy. Wai-wai-wai-Mr UPS guy. Look in your truck for a package for me! # [15:30] i keep meaning to keep an eye out for the new statesman [15:45] my internet is really slow toady [15:46] should be a bit faster now that turkey has no youtube or twitter... [15:46] oh? [15:46] that's a lot less cat packets been shuffled around :-) [15:46] why turkey no do twitter? [15:47] diddledan: Something about them publishing some pictures from a terrorist seige [15:47] because they think it's the only way to protect the people from pics of terrorist acts from last week [15:47] *le sigh* [15:48] the guy who voiced gerry adams is hoping for more work... :-P [15:48] o_O [15:49] zmoylan-pi: Do you think he's versatile enough to do all potential terrorist voices? [15:49] I don't get the reference [15:49] "the guy who voiced gerry adams"? [15:50] diddledan: It's from when there was a ban on broadcasting Gerry Adams voice on TV [15:51] diddledan: So the news orgs just played someone else voicing what he'd said [15:51] I didn't know there was such a thing [15:52] we need mel blanc to voice *all* the terrorists [15:52] terrorists are usually all just "durka durka jihad" tho, aren't they? [15:52] every country has weird censorships that have come up over the years, the new method is to just block certain sites [15:53] "what's he saying?" "it looks like kiss me" [15:54] I wonder if netflix has that yet? [15:56] looks like not in the uk [16:26] a teeny bit risqué, but for adults in the room, john oliver talks to edward snowden: https://youtu.be/ykfGWcmUbbk [16:28] So, I'm going to USA this week and I have no idea of what things to buy and bring back, suggestions? [16:29] Azelphur: are you sure they'll let you leave? [16:29] gin! [16:29] diddledan: amusingly no, not really xD [16:29] Azelphur: Well, now that you can get Oreo's in Europe there's really no point is there.... [16:30] penguin42: dude, kispy kreme. [16:30] Azelphur: We can get those in Manchester [16:30] Azelphur: (at an exhaubitant price) [16:30] don't forget to tak your false identity passport and the fake beard [16:30] penguin42: but do you actually have the proper krispy kreme shop that'll give you drive through made on the spot donuts? [16:30] Azelphur: We do have one [16:31] we get krispy kreme in tesco [16:31] penguin42: madness [16:31] diddledan: yea but that's just a shitty cabinet, it's not the same [16:31] Azelphur: There are at least a couple of actual Krispy Kreme shops including one that has the bakery and I've had a fresh kk off the line still hot and dripping - it's wonderful [16:31] penguin42: exactly, it really is wonderful [16:32] British people usually have no idea just how good Krispy Kreme is xD [16:32] Azelphur: I'm not sure if they do that all the time, it was just after they opened and they were giving away some of the fresh ones off the line as you waited to buy others [16:32] I see [16:33] Nah, in US they'll send you an SMS when they have a batch ready [16:33] and you just drive through and pick it up [16:34] there's a krispy kreme outlet at oxford castle complex [16:34] Azelphur: https://goo.gl/maps/2fhSH [16:34] and another in the MK shopping centre [16:34] directhex: that's the stuff :P [16:35] but yea, last time I went out there it was black friday and I stocked up on HDDs, SSDs and some other misc bits :P [16:35] this time I'm gonna get a GTX 980 because my GTX 570 is about to break [16:36] i'm delaying my new pc again. [16:36] for money reasons, again [16:36] stupid crummy car [16:36] Kinda tempted to get a new board + CPU while I'm out there, but DDR4 is annoying me [16:36] but given current delays, the 980ti should be out by the time i'm buying [18:05] maybe if they release a car that runs linux... [18:10] zmoylan-pi: plenty of IVI systems are linux-based [18:24] things I like about going to America: i7-4790K in USA: $279.99, in UK? £265. [18:26] yeah the $->£ price conversion is slightly annoying [22:10] Azelphur: heh gotta get a few to make it worth your while :D [22:10] hehe [22:10] it's baseball season once more \o/ [22:11] now if only i can work out how to watch it without trashing my waking hours [22:15] wheee hat works [22:15] \o/ [22:16] needed a bit of help with the code because I had stared it for days but atleast it's ready for the London trip this week [22:46] new PC is up and running [22:46] \o/ === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
