[12:59] <zmoylan-pi> my packets are more important than your packets...
[13:03] <zmoylan-pi> but wasn't the bill full of holes so it was a bad law no matter if it passes or not?
[13:05] <diddledan> donno, I was just posting it for clickbait so I get advertising revenue :p
[13:06]  * zmoylan-pi loads catapult with useless 1c coins and flings them at diddledan :-)

[13:16] <diddledan> lol
[13:17] <diddledan> I prefer my way :-p
[13:17] <arsenip> the beauty of the internet is you may have your way :D
[13:17] <foobarry> is that like catnip
[13:17] <arsenip> could be
[13:17] <arsenip> id rather never find out.
[13:17] <diddledan> omg, catnip? gimme!
[13:18] <foobarry> watching britains ultimate pilots. unfortuantely the voice over sounds like somebody taking off jez clarkson
[13:18] <foobarry> ....in the WORLD
[13:18] <foobarry> feel so guilty every time i have a day off without the kids
[13:19] <foobarry> drive myself to work work work in the garden and the house
[13:36] <TwistedLucidity> foobarry: Swap? I'll chillax with my pups, you can do my job?
[13:36] <TwistedLucidity> At the moment I am digging through a rather large spreadsheet trying to interpret what security changes the customers wants, what are possible and how to inform them that their spec is self-contradictory :-S
[13:37] <TwistedLucidity> Gripping stuff
[13:37]  * TwistedLucidity snores
[13:37] <zmoylan-pi> convert it to lotus 123 and declare it secure :-)
[13:54] <zmoylan-pi> custom rasp pis..... http://linuxgizmos.com/official-customized-raspberry-pi-versions-coming-soon/
[15:16] <diddledan> security gurus are all tweeting right now about someone having evidence of an evil maid attack against them (this person is Stefan Esser or @i0n1c on twitter)
[15:22] <popey> ya
[15:29] <bashrc> clumsy maid
[16:35] <tripleclones> hey all
[16:36] <tripleclones> any recommendations for *cheap* GPU's that work with three monitors and Ubuntu nicely?
[16:36] <popey> PING Azelphur !
[16:36] <Azelphur> ooo, this my jam :P
[16:37] <Azelphur> tripleclones: what's your use case?
[16:37] <diddledan_> I want your monitors, Azelphur
[16:37] <Azelphur> diddledan_: I sold all the old ones already :P
[16:37] <diddledan_> nono, the new ones :-p
[16:38] <Azelphur> hehe
[16:38] <diddledan_> your setup looks totes amazeballs
[16:38] <tripleclones> Azelphur, basic - IDE, Remote Desktop, text nothing too intensive
[16:39] <tripleclones> but would like to play Team Fortress 2 and the like from time to time on one screen
[16:39] <tripleclones> but certainly not 3D modelling or such like
[16:39] <Azelphur> tripleclones: I haven't actually tried, but I think AMD is generally a bit nicer for multi monitor than nvidia, however AMD is lower graphics performance
[16:40] <tripleclones> Azelphur, I saw this
[16:40] <tripleclones> http://www.ebuyer.com/451860-sapphire-hd-6450-1gb-ddr3-flex-dual-dvi-hdmi-pci-e-graphics-card-11190-12-20g
[16:40] <diddledan_> yeah IIRC nvidia binary drivers limit the number of outputs you can have active (although they might allow 3?)
[16:40] <tripleclones> but didn't know if I was being too tight :)
[16:40] <Azelphur> diddledan_: they allow 3, using it right now. :)
[16:40] <diddledan_> \o/
[16:40] <Azelphur> tripleclones: I have a feeling that although that card has 3 ports, it may not be able to make use of them all at the same time
[16:41] <tripleclones> it says it can in Eyefinity mode
[16:42] <Azelphur> Then you should be ok, although as I say never actually done triple head on AMD before
[16:42] <tripleclones> but I don't know if Eyefinity is going to be OS specific?
[16:42] <Azelphur> shouldn't matter, it was only about the number of CRTcs on the card, which apparently is 3
[16:43] <diddledan_> I don't really get the pount of eyefinity - native support is better IMO because when you maximise a window with eyefinity (based on really old evidence) it uses all screens instead of just the one screen it's on
[16:43] <diddledan_> point*
[16:43] <tripleclones> Azelphur, what GPU are you using?
[16:43] <Azelphur> diddledan_: the goal is to work with games that don't have multi monitor support, tricking them into thinking it's all one big display
[16:43] <Azelphur> tripleclones: I'm using a GTX 980.
[16:43] <diddledan_> aah
[16:44] <diddledan_> I'm not really a gamer - I use gfx and multiple monitors for productivity purposes
[16:44] <Azelphur> it can drive up to 4 monitors, as can pretty much everything kepler, but I think nvidia may limit it to 3 in software for Linux.
[16:44] <tripleclones> yeah thats more then I'm willing to spend atm :)
[16:44] <tripleclones> shame on nvidia though
[16:45] <diddledan_> the new amd driver system sounds clever - same kernel module for both the closed and open source varients
[16:51] <tripleclones> so this would be in my budget
[16:51] <tripleclones> http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/amdradeongraphicscards/amdr7370series/r7-370p-2sf5.html
[16:51] <tripleclones> sounds like the sort of direction I should be looking yeah?
[16:56] <Azelphur> tripleclones: yea have a go with an AMD card, I guess you can always return it
[16:57] <ali1234> tripleclones: just get nvidia, it actually works
[16:58] <ali1234> nvidia doesn't limit the amount of outputs you can use with a single card
[16:58] <ali1234> they limit the amount of outputs you can use when you have two cards running your monitors
[17:23] <daftykins> nvidia \o/
[17:23] <daftykins> except for the GTX 970 debacle, that was immoral
[17:42] <diddledan_> interesting, an MS employee just stated in a keynote at devintersection conference that "guis on the server are poison"
[17:44] <tripleclones> diddledan_, MS have been moving that way with the core versions for a little while now
[17:44] <diddledan_> yeah it's interesting that he's effectively saying that they were wromng
[17:44] <tripleclones> idea being you have all the gui tools on a client :)
[17:45] <daftykins> i think i read you have to install all of it in most cases, configure, then remove
[17:45] <daftykins> which is frankly laughable
[17:47] <tripleclones> we have some at work, I dont know how they were installed but if I want to make changes to DNS for example I have to access a Remote Desktop with the DNS GUI tool and use that
[17:48] <tripleclones> I'm told I can do it through powershell but no one can tell me how :)
[17:48] <diddledan_> https://twitter.com/MrASingh/status/657884094831960064
[17:48] <tripleclones> and I'm not wasting any time learning
[17:52] <daftykins> why do you consider it a waste?
[17:56] <tripleclones> because I'm not meant to get involved with our windows environment at all
[17:57] <tripleclones> and I would just end getting involved in lots of things I shouldn't
[21:23] <diddledan_> I suppose these days if you're a startup you've got two choices: 1) get acquired. 2) get so big so quick that none of the big boys can afford you
[21:23] <diddledan_> seems pretty much every company goes for option 1
[22:39] <diddledan_> *sigh* apple have made the most money in corporate history
[22:39] <diddledan_> (in one year)
[22:39] <zmoylan-pi> i was going to say what about the catholic church :-P
[22:40] <daftykins> do you find it amusing that Apple's software for Windows (iTunes and Quicktime) are now the reasons for the most exploited Windows PCs in the US? :D
[22:40] <daftykins> replacing Java
[22:40] <diddledan_> oh dear. lol
[22:40] <zmoylan-pi> AND adobe?? wow
[22:40] <daftykins> ikr
[22:40] <daftykins> it's almost cunning planning
[22:41] <daftykins> i really do wish i could travel back in time and invest in Apple :<
[22:41] <zmoylan-pi> just means it will be a longer fall to my mind
[22:42] <diddledan_> it's nearly 250billion this year and ~50b profit
[22:42] <diddledan_> that's an awful lot of money to wade through till you run out
[22:43] <zmoylan-pi> a lot will be wasted on accountants :-)
[22:43] <zmoylan-pi> and lawyers trying to prove it's not money
[22:43] <diddledan_> if they pocket it they will prolly be able to coast for some time
[22:45] <prd> i gona sleep. god bless poland
[22:45] <diddledan_> o_O
[22:45] <zmoylan-pi> there's been no sign of that so far...
[22:45] <daftykins> XD
[22:46] <prd> jesche polska ne zginela!1!!11
[22:46] <zmoylan-pi> gort, klatu barada niktu
[22:46] <daftykins> take it elsewhere thanks
[22:46] <diddledan_> do I smeel some troll armpits?
[22:54] <diddledan_> http://stopdisablingselinux.com/
[22:55] <daftykins> ;)
[23:07] <popey> oh, you follow her too huh?
[23:07] <diddledan_> lol
[23:07] <diddledan_> yup
[23:12] <daftykins> popey: hey what's with you being disgusted all the time? :D always looks like a ragequit XD
[23:14] <popey> eh?
[23:14] <popey> oh, i just set my quit message to that
[23:14] <popey> couldn't think of anything better
[23:14]  * popey will change it
[23:14] <daftykins> :)
[23:14] <popey> fixed
[23:15] <daftykins> yaaay
[23:15] <daftykins> it was amusing because i think me and the fellow volunteers were slating Apple again over in -discuss and off you popped :>
[23:15] <daftykins> which reminds me, we should rescue shauno!
[23:16] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: you speak Irish! ;)
[23:16] <diddledan_> does "bundle into a car boot with a bag over his head" count as "rescue"?
[23:16] <daftykins> yep
[23:17] <zmoylan-pi> i can make a few phone calls... :-)
[23:18] <daftykins> :D
[23:19] <ging> i never understood that one
[23:19] <daftykins> it's from "Look Around You" right?
