daftykinsif you folks had 11 wired ports around your house, would you want a £20 switch and 10 ports provided... or £65 and 19 ports provided?13:52
daftykinsLAN this is13:52

davmor2popey: most of the steam games are sdl2 and can use a controller, so can some ot the games that were ported already and are in the store for 14.0413:54
diddledan_you would need to find some method of making the extra 8 ports on the bigger unit look used for something - maybe get a few traffic generators to hang on the end of a cable for each unused port13:54
popeyYou may have missed the bit where I said "open source" :)13:54

davmor2directhex: that was the best polite threat I could make ;)14:13
* daftykins wonders what everyone is talking about14:13
directhexfrozen bubble is actually unusual for a FOSS game, in that it has a coherent art direction14:14
davmor2directhex: this is true14:14
directhexbut what it lacks is coherent level design. standard puzzle game fare (especially puzzle bobble, which frozen bubble is a rip-off of) have a carefully gradiented difficulty curve14:14
directhexwhereas FB difficulty spikes all over the place14:14
directhexbecause new levels are appended, not correctly inserted in a game-beneficial order14:15
davmor2directhex: yeah keeps you on your toes stop whining14:15
directhexit's not "keeping you on your toes" it's just schizophrenic and inconsistent14:16
directhexwith re-ordered levels it'd be fine14:16

SuperMattI obviously don't know Azelphur, and cannot say if it's really a requirement, just some light-hearted joshing15:19

diddledan_I like how that reporter thinks that the RVR number determines the distance a pilot is allowed to see rather than telling the pilot the distance it's physically possible to see15:38
diddledan_it suggests that if I were to tell a pilot one number and a different pilot a completely different number then they'll both see different amounts of runway15:39

daftykinslo18:58
sebsebsebdaftykins: you kow what a RJII cable is yeah?18:58
daftykinsconnector, yes18:59
daftykinsBT phone connector in another parlance18:59
sebsebsebdaftykins: ok, but it's not a standard ethernet cable is it?18:59
sebsebsebyeah my Mum's got the wrong cable it does indeed seem18:59
daftykinsoh you wrote II, it's 1118:59
sebsebsebyes RJ11 that's what I mean18:59
sebsebsebRJ11 cable18:59
daftykinsRJ10 is the little square one that's narrow than RJ4518:59
sebsebsebit seems to fit into the ethernet ports ok, but then not work19:00
daftykinsah no i've got the two backwards19:00
sebsebsebethernet is cat5 I think or cat6?19:00
daftykinsthat's the cable type19:00
sebsebseband would just say ethernet cable I guess19:00
daftykinswe're talking connectors :)19:00
daftykinshere we go, RJ10 is 4P4C, RJ11 is 6P4C19:00
daftykins(position and conductor/contact)19:01
sebsebsebnot what a postion and conductor contact is19:01
daftykinsP = holes for a wire19:01
* sebsebseb was never that good at networking, but knew the cable was probably wrong when seeing what it was19:01
daftykinsC = there's one in there.19:01
daftykinsso the actual plastic moulding has channels for more separate wires than may be actually present, if you get me19:02
sebsebsebdaftykins: RJ11 cable is no ethernet cable right?  may look lilke one may fit like one, but is not, hence not working, as I expected?19:02
daftykinsyeah that'll typically be a modem one19:02
daftykinsfor an xDSL line19:02
sebsebsebyeah I Looked on google seems it can connect routers and19:02
sebsebsebdaftykins: ok guy in PC World she asked, got it wrong then, didn't know his stuff19:02
daftykinshttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/Rjxx.jpg19:03
daftykinsthere's a nice image19:03
daftykinsnetwork cable for example has 4 pairs, 8 wires, so it's an 8P8C connector19:03
daftykinssimples19:03
sebsebsebyeah I knew there were differnet types of cables like this, she didn't quite reolise, altough I said get ethernet before19:03
sebsebsebI think it explains why this one fits in the ethernet ports, even though it not being such a cable19:04
sebsebsebwhat you put19:04
daftykins*nod*19:05
sebsebsebso it's for a DSL modem you said?19:05
sebsebsebor probably19:05
daftykinsmost likely19:05
daftykinsdepends how many there are in it :>19:05
daftykinsthe gold contacts would need counting19:05
sebsebsebyou mean what's actsaully in the cable  itself?19:06
daftykinsyep19:08
daftykinssurely most things from PC World are blister packed too o019:08
sebsebsebdaftykins: what do you mean by blister packed?19:08
daftykinsthe plastic moulded packets that are a pain to get into19:09
daftykinssomething that'd likely have been labelled19:09
sebsebsebdaftykins: packaging looks ok actsually,   she woudn't have read it or even understood19:10
sebsebsebI just looked again at that.19:10
sebsebsebproperly19:10
daftykinsbut it may've had terms of what it is on it19:10
sebsebsebdaftykins: RJ11 cable  Ideal for connecting ADSL modems to ADSL microfilters19:11
sebsebsebthat's what it says on it19:11
sebsebsebthe packaging19:11
daftykinsyep that'll be the one :D19:11
