diddledan__another rocket going-up at 01:29 - this one from spacex and they're going to attempt another landing, this time back at launch site rather than a barge : http://www.spacex.com/webcast/20:30
diddledan__the video hasn't started yet tho20:31
penguin42I wonder why they decided not to go with the barge this time; a barge sounds like a much better place to land stuff20:31
diddledan__penguin42: less moving target :-p20:32
diddledan__that's a guess tho20:32
diddledan__I don't know the answer20:32
penguin42pity, their barges had nice names20:34
* daftykins is playing with Server 2012 R2 and Hyper-V for a job at his old College20:35
daftykinsdamn it's horrible :P20:35
diddledan__heh20:39
zmoylan-pithey're running out of barges? :-P20:40
diddledan__yeah, torpedoing them doesn't help20:41
zmoylan-pipesky nasa zeros? :-)20:41
diddledan__yeah. that and weirdo decimal points. and weirdo conversions between feet and cm20:42
diddledan__when working for nasa, always remember to not carry the 120:42
zmoylan-piwe should all switch to smoots... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot20:42
diddledan__I like that teh googs does smoots20:48
daftykinsdiddledan__: i think you just had a seizure mid-sentence there20:50
diddledan__lol20:50
zmoylan-pino no 'e's trying to be hip, down and cool with the kids :-)20:51
daftykinsi had him pegged for doing a voice artist try out for the chef on the muppets20:53
zmoylan-pider smooty booty dooty?20:54
daftykinsho-hoo, careful with that talk around here ;)20:54
zmoylan-piminds in the gutter...20:55
diddledan__haha20:55
daftykinsi'll have you know i was expecting you to steal the last booty we plundered20:55
diddledan__der smooley doodey20:56
diddledan__^ what my nephew is good at!20:56
daftykinsi was about to suggest my cat had a paw in that one20:56
diddledan__pooley. dats der smooley doodey!20:57
diddledan__don't you love that the web was invented to facilitate the end of the world research (nuclear bombs)20:57
diddledan__(that's what cern is all about, right?) :-p20:58
daftykinsmakes me a tad con-cern'd20:58
zmoylan-piit's what the cats would have wanted... :-)21:01
diddledan__well when we nuke ourselves to oblivion, the radiation will help the cockroaches to attain sentience21:02
zmoylan-pii thought lawyers were sentient?21:02
diddledan__lol: https://twitter.com/meganamram/status/67868813264082534421:33
daftykinsthis is hilarious, to manage this Server 2012 R2 system i need a *second* one to put the management tools on21:47
zmoylan-piso when poop hits the fan you need 2 working systems to fix things... brilliant... :-)21:50
diddledan__daftykins: you can put the management tools on a normal windows21:54
daftykinsthey advise against SCVMM being on the Hyper-V host21:55
daftykinsso yeah a client console could be on a normal OS, but then SCVMM they talk about being on a VM (which is lulzworthy) or on another host21:55
diddledan__daftykins: http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2015/09/03/rsat-tools-for-windows-10.aspx looks like you need pro though21:55
diddledan__oh scvmm21:56
diddledan__dang21:56
zmoylan-pipiddly little toy oses... :-)21:56
diddledan__wait, you put the management console in a machine that it's managing?21:56
daftykinsyeah XD21:56
diddledan__inception!21:56
daftykinssounds like eggs and baskets eh?21:56
zmoylan-piif it's a small installation it *should* be an ok thing to do...21:57
daftykinszmoylan-pi: and yep, i'd like to take them off windows server but would likely have an uphill battle from their own IT support department :(21:57
penguin42daftykins: Drop them into having win server as a guest under KVM ?21:57
* zmoylan-pi remembers running company mail server on windows 95 plus our office wiki. till it was all replaced with a small business server install that failed a few times per week...21:58
zmoylan-pisuch a terrible os21:58
daftykinswell the use-case is my old College, where groups of 12-16 students at a time (a class) would be setting up VMs to learn OS installs as part of a full Windows domain, and/or Linux and Windows desktop OSs21:59
daftykinsi know what was on this big chunky server with oodles of RAM when i taught there 5 years ago, but i'm not sure if it's changed21:59
daftykinsi would likely want to switch to running a free education license of vmware instead21:59
daftykinsserver becomes a drone box, maximise the use of resources on it instead of some silly Windows Server product... then just one client program at the other end to manage it22:02
zmoylan-pithat windows 95 server also held a bigfoot drive i found for all our office 'media'... such a faithful little server... :-)22:02
diddledan__haha, spain's "Popular Party" has won the election. That's a great name, like the "Tooting Popular Front"22:03
zmoylan-piand not the peoples popular party...?22:03
daftykinsXD22:03
diddledan__nor the popular people's party22:03
penguin42oh, they've delayed the launch23:30
