| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 07:42 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy Lost Sock Memorial Day! 😃 | 08:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | step 1) throw out all socks 2) replace with 20 pairs all the same 3) there is no step 3 | 08:44 |
| JamesTait | Step 3) wonder why you only have 19 pairs of socks and one odd one. | 08:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | then you hit the intruder alert button... | 08:45 |
| JamesTait | Does that summon the sock police? | 08:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | no that would be the summon sock police button... 1 up, 2 along beside the summon tomato ketchup button | 08:48 |
| JamesTait | "Summon tomato ketchup button", a.k.a. "Child". | 08:49 |
| JamesTait | Ketchup on everything. | 08:49 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsJxBr3LHCc | 08:51 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 09:16 |
| czajkowski | how is everyone ? | 09:16 |
| davmor2 | meh | 09:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | warm dry sunny weather... it's unnatural... make it stop... | 09:32 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: come to Wolverhampton cold grey and heartless | 09:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | i mean it hasn't rained in days... they'll be declaring a drought soon... | 09:34 |
| diddledan | Winsider Preview has just bit my bum :-p | 12:37 |
| diddledan | nvidia drivers installed via Windows Update killed display | 12:37 |
| diddledan | and now I'm trying to figure-out why hyper-v has died | 12:38 |
| diddledan | maybe I should ignore hyper-v death and revert to using virtualbox | 12:38 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: or just stick to Linux ;) | 12:43 |
| diddledan | :-p | 12:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | nah os/2 is the future!! :-) | 12:46 |
| * zmoylan-pi adds tick to the note of how many times i have recommended oses to people and sees os/2 ahead of windows... :-P | 12:47 | |
| m0nkey_ | OS/2 Warp 4 was awesome. | 13:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | been able to format a floppy and not have system grind to a halt... | 13:30 |
| m0nkey_ | But if you want to strike OS gold, look up TempleOS. | 13:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | the one recommended to me today was endless os | 13:32 |
| m0nkey_ | The sole dev has a mental disorder and swears a lot in his videos. God speaks to him through the OS development. | 13:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | the swearing i can handle. the god speaking to them is a smidge more worrying for the creater of an os you're trusting your data with | 13:34 |
| diddledan | apparently the Holy resolution is 640x480 | 13:37 |
| diddledan | God insisted on it | 13:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | with 2 or 4 colour support? | 13:38 |
| m0nkey_ | 16 colours | 13:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | but that would reduce the amount of video ram available for your ram disk!! | 13:40 |
| m0nkey_ | Oh and there is no mouse support. | 13:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | \o/ | 13:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | and there was much rejoicing | 13:40 |
| m0nkey_ | Devil makes works for idle hands and such. | 13:40 |
| diddledan | 2 day turnaround by MS on fixing an RCE bug: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-39856391 | 13:45 |
| m0nkey_ | Props to MS for that! | 13:49 |
| diddledan | aye, and those engineers who worked through the weekend deserve a cold beer and a rest! | 13:50 |
| diddledan | amazing response IMO | 13:50 |
| arsen | pretty standard for any small to medium sized business - but if its M$ they get praise? :p | 13:55 |
| m0nkey_ | Are you 14? Who referrers to Microsoft as M$ anymore? | 13:58 |
| arsen | did they get better? :D | 13:59 |
| m0nkey_ | I praise any software dev that turns round a fix for a critical vulnerability in just a few hours. | 13:59 |
| diddledan | ditto: they've gone through not knowing the bug exists -> trying to understand how the exploit works -> finding the right code path -> figuring out what's wrong with that code -> applying a potential fix -> compiling -> potentially getting a broken build -> potentially not having fixed the problem -> testing that the fix doesn't cause problems to other stuff | 14:02 |
| diddledan | -> packaging for release .. | 14:02 |
| diddledan | ALL IN 48 hours | 14:02 |
| arsen | sorry, how much money does microsoft have, and how big is their dev team (spanning multiple timezones), and what do they do for a living? | 14:03 |
| arsen | i'd argue the better way to describe what they've done is 'surprise' - rather than pat them on the back. most other decent tech firms would expect that kind of turnaround as a minium, nevermind one that sells end-user software. | 14:04 |
| arsen | largely because they're typcally shit at that kind of thing :p | 14:04 |
| m0nkey_ | Surprisingly, yes. I feel like they have gotten better. They're not perfect. I trust Microsoft more than I do Google. | 14:04 |
| diddledan | bashing Microsoft is childish. | 14:05 |
| diddledan | sure, call them out when they do something wrong, but don't moan that they get praise for doing something right | 14:06 |
| arsen | don't think i complained, just said what they've done should be the norm. | 14:07 |
| arsen | it is for the rest of us. | 14:07 |
| m0nkey_ | Take your average Linux distribution. A critical bug is fixed, but it still takes a day or two for that to come downstream. | 14:07 |
| m0nkey_ | Unless you compile yourself from sources. | 14:07 |
| m0nkey_ | Same is true for BSD. | 14:08 |
| m0nkey_ | Heck, it could be two month for the FreeNAS devs to push out a security update. (Known from experience reporting an OpenSSL vulnerability) | 14:09 |
| m0nkey_ | Open source should be able to move faster, but it doesn't. | 14:10 |
| arsen | different set of challenges eh. | 14:10 |
| m0nkey_ | So as I said. I praise anyone who can turn around in 48 hours. | 14:11 |
| DJones | \o/ Found the charger/transfer cable for my mp3 player | 16:44 |
| DJones | Audiobook heaven here I come :) | 16:45 |
| diddledan | http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/stephen-fry-blasphemy-probe-dropped-after-garda-fail-to-find-substantial-number-of-outraged-people-35692915.html | 17:23 |
| DJones | diddledan: As a somebody who goes to church every week, as a christian, as part of the church PCC, that charge was ridiculous, freedom of speech does come into it (but can be limited in certain circumstances), but I can't understand how anybody would be offended by what he's said | 17:26 |
| DJones | Maybe I'm in the minority, but I respect anybody's choice of point of view, I might not agree with it, but I won't complain if its different to mine | 17:27 |
| diddledan | DJones: Je Suis Charlie :-) | 17:35 |
| diddledan | if non-<insert religion here> people aren't allowed to call out plot holes in <insert religion here> teachings then how does <insert religion here> ever get a chance to adapt to modernity?! As a christian I welcome people challenging me | 17:39 |
| diddledan | I like the plot twists the best ;-p | 17:40 |
| DJones | diddledan: Yep, thats my view as well | 17:40 |
| DJones | Its called free will, I respect that | 17:40 |
| diddledan | I'm perfectly happy to be proven wrong. Scientific process requires that I be open to the idea that there is no deity. Likewise I'm open to the idea of science proving that there is a deity afterall | 17:41 |
| diddledan | the way I see it is: if I believe in some deity and follow that religion, and I'm wrong, what do I lose? | 17:42 |
| diddledan | the lack of losing anything by being wrong is outweighed by the fraternity and belonging of believing in deity | 17:44 |
| DJones | ...well, if you're wrong,....you have to move to America were Disney's Mickey & Donald are president & VP :) | 17:44 |
| diddledan | lol | 17:44 |
| diddledan | poor murrica :-( | 17:44 |
| DJones | ..Ooops, Mickey & Donald are VP & President | 17:44 |
| popey | Good morning | 18:01 |
| diddledan | ello popester | 18:06 |
| diddledan | you been away? | 18:06 |
| ali1234 | DJones: the theory goes that it was done to raise awareness of the silly law | 18:09 |
| === Darkstar is now known as Guest33656 | ||
| diddledan | aye, it is a bit strange of the complainant "doing their civil duty" in reporting it but that they weren't offended themselves | 18:10 |
| diddledan | if you weren't offended, then why report it?! | 18:10 |
| ali1234 | civil disobedience meets malicious compliance | 18:10 |
| daftykins | \o hi folks | 19:55 |
| dogmatic69 | here's a message I have not seen since the 90's http://i.imgur.com/k0QEped.png | 20:22 |

| daftykins | shared connection is so bad here i had to sign up to a mobile broadband service temporarily ;) | 21:18 |
| daftykins | 100GB isn't much to get by on! | 21:18 |
| diddledan | :-o | 21:28 |
| daftykins | i used up 8GB watching a single baseball game XD | 21:29 |
| * dogmatic69 flashes the 300mbps virgin line | 21:37 | |
| zmoylan-pi | isn't baseball one of those sports that pre internet you could watch all the action on teletext? :-P | 21:49 |
| diddledan | and the guy swung his stick. missed. now walking to the next position | 21:52 |
| diddledan | and the next guy swung his stick. missed. walking to the next position. previous guy walking to the next position beyond that | 21:53 |
