Gonna set it really high so the only thing they hear is me swearing at the computer .
 
@Psycogeek SA = Sound activated ===>>> NSA = Ninja Sound Activated
@Psycogeek Why tablet's specifications sometimes state mAh and sometimes Watt-per-hour?
 
@Boris_yo probably because of the conventional ways that were used by electonics geeks, in the specific different areas of applying the numbers. A wee bit of math you can aquire one or the other.
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek That is about as appropriate a response as any...
 
@JourneymanGeek cool. ""Switch to the "booty" tab, check off "do it to this device". While Listen is checked, your booty will be audible through your ears, and in a more advanced facet, through stereo mix. "" now i can hear Booty calls.
Hmm, wonder what is in the advanced booty options panel.
 
Depending on your unna!!! yes! Unna
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek I don't even...
 
I wonder if there's any penalty for making a bunch of bad edits
 
0
A: How to output microphone directly to speakers?

Killuhyeah what they said sorry buddy =\ have a nice day though!!

 
Bob

A: Is there a penalty for one's edit suggestion being rejected?

Jeff AtwoodNo, but repeated edit suggestion rejections from multiple users will cause your edit suggestion rights to be suspended for (n) days, where n is currently 7.

 
12:10 AM
yay
 
Bob
No idea what's going through this guy's mind...
 
@Bob: when the zombie apocalypse comes, and if this guy is locked in a room with a zombie, the zombie will starve to death.

Bob
lol
 
Poor zombie
 
Bob
the Norton renew warning is becoming progressively more... alarming... every day
yesterday, an exclamation mark appeared
today, it got a red background
 
12:13 AM
@JourneymanGeek Heya! Woof! Sorry to disappoint you but end of world will never come and earth will exist another 15000 years.
 
@Boris_yo: Hypothetical statement made for humour.
 
@Psycogeek DafuQ! I was watching YouTube videos and suddenly Internet Explorer 9 refused to playback them. It claimed I had to update Adobe Flash Player but isn't it weird browser would require something like this on the fly while I browse? This stuff usually happened after restart, the next time I start browser.
 
Off-topic or not?
Thpgh I appreciate the effort he spent in writing the post
 
@Boris_yo So you were watching them fine, then it asked for an update? at one time or another there were 2 different styles of Youtube videos on the site. When i could no longer play the "new" ones, the old ones were still fine???
 
WTF I just updated Adobe Flash Player, played back video and then after clicking on 720p it happens again! DafuQ. @Psycogeek
 
Bob
12:21 AM
@Hennes huh. I always viewed copying as replacing, not overwriting
 
Copy to same file name.
I guess it could go both ways.
Replacing the content means keeping permissions.
Delete and new is a fresh starts
 
is google apps free?
 
Bob
never really dealt with hardlinks (I prefer symbolic in most cases), but to me, it is quite unintuitive that replacing one file overwrites one in a completely different location
@barlop nope. they removed the free tier a while ago
 
@Boris_yo did you close the browser (and any flashes opened outside it) before updating ? did you get the update from the deployment location, instead of the instant installer? could it have anything to with with 64Bit vrses 32 bit?
 
@Psycogeek Not any video was fine...
 
Bob
12:23 AM
anyone who had it is grandfathered in,though
 
i wanna transfer email from outlook to my gmail account
 
Well, it does not overwrite another file
 
Bob
@Hennes could be saved if rewritten to ask how to prevent that - then he could self-answer
 
Aye
Hardlinks are same filesystem things though. Several dir entries to the same file
 
@Psycogeek Did not close browser before updating. Download took me to install of latest version where I could chose optional features like Chorme browser and Google Toolbar.
 
Bob
12:24 AM
@Hennes true, on the FS level. not necessarily from a higher level though
I guess what he really needs here is a symlink, not a hardlink
 
A symlink would point to the old filename. And thus to the new file
So the contents would also differ after the copy
 
Attn: World: in 35 minutes Obama will give a speech talking about the US response to Syria... I suggest even if you don't live in North America that you tune in, because it's pretty inevitable that what the US does impacts other nations, (I mean besides Syria), so it's more of a being informed about world happenings thing to tune in
 
Bob
> US Secretary of State John Kerry said in London any political solution should only come after military strikes.
methinks the US is just a tad too bloodthirsty
 
Does Obama need a weapon of mass distraction right now?
 
@somequixotic we could go all egypt on Washington :-) till they oust em, how would it be with the military taking over ?
 
12:27 AM
@Psycogeek the military is loyal to the regime so that doesn't make any sense
 
Bob
@Hennes huh. ok.
@somequixotic depends which military you're talking about :P
for the US, that is certainly true
 
trying to stir up a military coup would probably lead to a bloody and destructive Civil War II using modern weapons
 
War abroad is the perfect way to keep people at home silenced/happy
 
@somequixotic: this guy won the nobel peace prize... why?
 
@somequixotic In egypt it was a Civillian coup to oust the leader, the military took over (or my very minor observed understanding)
 
12:29 AM
the NPP has always been a popularity contest, nothing more
 
Bob
@Hennes Huh. Even Windows behaves the same way (with hardlinks, anyway).
Learn something every day :P
 
I can't remember when I ever used links in windows. Or junctions
 
@Bob They cannot step back now after all their aggressive behavior towards Syria. If they step back, then others will no longer take USA seriously which is not good because USA wants other nations to be affraid of it.
@somequixotic Russians are monitoring situation. They don't want Syria attacked. Conflict between USA and Russia is not good.
 
what is the link between having a domain, and google apps?
 
Bob
12:33 AM
@somequixotic what the fuck
 
@Boris_yo Oh oh, I dont have the Wi-Fi in the bomb shelter yet, blasted nuclear wars, why cant they do something constructive.
 
@barlop Google Apps is a cloud hosting service. A domain is an entry in the public DNS. they couldn't possibly be less alike.
 
Bob
Sure that's not The Onion?
 
@somequixotic Oh shit. Obama is mad! Let's hope Putin will show his stoicism.
 
Bob
12:34 AM
@somequixotic Oh.
Close enough :P
 
@somequixotic this link talks about signing up to google apps and specifying a domain labnol.org/internet/google-apps-free/26926
 
So, who's we've got here? A fucking comedian? Private Joker.
 
@barlop that's perfectly normal
 
@somequixotic alright, but can I sign up without a domain?
 
Bob
@somequixotic not just cloud hosting, though
 
12:36 AM
@barlop I don't know. maybe. they might require a domain though for accountability reasons
 
and if I lose control of my domain, is it a security risk?
like I registered a domain free about a year ago and I see it's still there.
 
Bob
@barlop nope. you're essentially signing up to Apps through a backdoor
 
can I change the domain at a later date do you think?
like if i lose control of that domain
 
@barlop probably yes
 
Bob
I think I actually have an Apps account from when I signed up for Analytics
lemme see if I can still log in :P
oh. you sign in by domain name
 
12:40 AM
@Bob does Google have unrestricted root access to cloud hosted VPS like Amazon EC2?
or is it more like a shared hosting environ
 
@Boris_yo They are pretty much full of crap , just like before. when they went into iraq, they were selling the idea of a quick action, 10 years later they still there messing with it. Again how can congress process such a request as a yes, when the american people who are represented by same said congress , say No.
 
Bob
oh damn
they advertised free Apps end of last year
I never signed up D:
 
@Psycogeek problem is, in polls of actual US citizens, a large portion of citizens want us to go over there and "Bomb the **** out of them" -- a large enough portion that, even if the representatives truly and devotedly represented the wishes of their citizens, the vote would be very close
maybe the real vote won't be close and it'll be hugely in favor of going to war, but it's quite possible that even a faithful representative of the vote would vote in favor
 
@Boris_yo It would most certannly lean america into a more fascist or militaristic state.
 
Bob
@somequixotic the bigger problem was the lies on the part of the US gov :\
at least, that's what I've heard anecdotally. take it with a pinch of salt; I don't have any sources at the moment
 
12:45 AM
@somequixotic what poll? the only polls i see are majority against, But that comes from the "liberal media"
 
Bob
(I was referring to the Iraq war, though)
 
Hmm how about the "not so liberal media poll" foxnews.com/politics/2013/09/09/… A Fox News poll released Monday also finds disapproval of Obama’s handling of Syria has jumped to 60 percent, up from 40 percent in May.
 
@somequixotic: actually, the politics is complex
I think a lot of republicans would vote against obama cause they're either isolationist, or just cause he's a democrat
and there's a pretty big bunch of anti-war democrats
hmm
do you guys have the party whip?
 
Bob
> just cause he's a democrat
and that is what's wrong with politics.
 
@Bob: heh, it is.
thankfully, my government has started stealing good ideas from the opposition
 
12:58 AM
@somequixotic Demonize middle east countries, glorify US as being the only true nation and brainwash some more while trolling and getting oil for "democracy".
@JourneymanGeek That's why I would never become politician even if I could.
 
@Boris_yo Would any truely smart person, who had high morals, be a politician? Well They better :-)
 
@Psycogeek Sometimes due to USB cables being faulty, the process of firmware update fails and bricks tablet. Therefore test your USB cable before such a task.

Question, how do I test USB cable? Do I transfer 5GBs of data back and forth?
 
@Boris_yo That would not be good. I am not sure if this motherboard i am working with has one of them "backup" or double bioses things.
 
Even if they were, there is always manipulation and corruption. Take the money and do X or else we threat you. You don't want your loved ones to be hurt, do you?

See? This world is prone to corruption. Even good person can become corrupted against his/her will. Good vs. Bad - a fight that will never end...
@Psycogeek Dual BIOS is cool feature eh? I heard however that making motherboards with dual BIOS does not let manufacturers reach the true profit potential. It is better to not giving a chance to people at unbricking motherboards and keep making them buying.
 
1:26 AM
@Boris_yo Yup people can see things different when they NSA thier way into your private conversations, which are just "talk" and not intended to be anything more than that.
Guess it goes back to the bible saying , even if you should think it , it would be wrong.
 
@Psycogeek If person is good, he won't say bad things so NSA would have nothing to blackmail him.
 
@Boris_yo This is (was) america, i can say anything. That serve a good purpose. the 1st ammedment free speech rights allow the people to verbally (even abusivly) get thier frustations out. Then the goverment can proceed to do the evil that they do. When the speech is hindered , people are more likly to act, instead of talk.
Take for example when the media, and blogs, and newspapers all say "this is wrong" all the people think that someone is doing something about it . They are not doing anything about it , and even less now that it seems that somebody cares.
Should people say that thier boss is an a-hole , in private conversations, away from work? When i was a boss , i knew i was an A-hole :-0 they could have even said it to my face and had me agreeing with them .
 
1:48 AM
@Psycogeek But saying asshole to boss results in being laid off.
 
@Boris_yo On average though if your boss had heard about (hearsay) you saying he was an a-hole would the employee be fired?
 
@Psycogeek Hearsay is hearsay but it is unlike approaching your boss and saying asshole to him.
@Psycogeek US law prohibits boss from firing employee that swears at him?
 
@Boris_yo Ok so it is precieved to be different, Walking up to your boss and "asking to be fired" by spouting off, and Background office talk where everyone knows he/she is an a-hole.
@Boris_yo They probably have to have more than that. If you did that they might send you home to "think about it" and cool off. then you can decide to get fired later :-)
 
@Psycogeek You really were asshole boss? Why made you think so? Were you exploiting workers?
 
@Boris_yo Yes that too :-) but eventually everyone got a big bonus.
I had to convince them to exploit themselves :-)

Okay is the GMT time always equal to the UTC time ??
 
3:23 AM
@Gowtham: more or less
 
SE uses GMT and GMT is no longer precisely defined by the scientific community.
 
practically its only a few seconds difference ;p

Q: Windows 7 Wont stop sharing my files on my network

RobertI'm running Windows 7 and network discovery is turned off. When checking my files and folders they all say not shared, and I have password protected sharing on (have tried turning it off as well). But for some reason my computer is still accessible from any other computer on my network. I don't ...

I guess that fixes those complaints like "Cant get windows to share my files" :-)

Q: Is it smart cost/performance-wise to use a dual-cpu motherboard over a single-cpu?

user1306322I heard that dual-cpu motherboards are quite expensive and not all cpus can work in dual-cpu mode, but I don't know much else. Does it make sense to spend money on a desktop computer with 2 processors, or is it more appropriate to buy 1 powerful modern cpu and an ordinary motherboard? I'm a game...

that question just made me so nostalgic I had to say so in a comment
 
Bob
o.o
 
"Witchcraft software that extracts 3D models from photographs"
 
@BonGart When i had a server board, that would handle 2 Physical cpus, I put one in and ran it that way for a long time, then added the 2nd to "upgrade" when i had more money. I would think that would still apply.
 
@BonGart: I don't recall any non workstation/server type dual cpu boards these days
@Bob: Thats the most obvious indianism I can think of that was appropriate ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek I haven't even been keeping up with them... for years now.
 
8:31 AM
@BonGart: heh, I like building systems, at least in my head ;p
current system is pretty awesome, so there's not much need for it. Ars does these nice system guides, and their god boxes are the sort of system this guy is talking about - dual xeon gaming boxes
 
I don't think I can see the advantage to having a dual CPU board for a gamer/game developer... I don't think any software he would use would take advantage of the second CPU, would it?
oh, nvm then
lol
 
Bob
@BonGart no, they wouldn't
the ars god boxes are kinda bullshit, tbh
 
@JourneymanGeek But is there any game out that would need that much CPU power ?
 
Bob
pack as much as you can into a single system without any regard as to what's actually used
gaming? the vast vast majority does not use many CPU cores
developer? well, compilation could make use of the extra cores. that's about it.
 
8:34 AM
And find fools wanting to spend thousandS of dollars in a gaming rig they will changed in a year of so
 
Bob
single core performance remains the most important consideration
 
I imagine he'd want to have the game running at max everything, as well as running all his dev software at the same time (level editor, texture packaging software, photoshop, dual or even three screens at the same time....
 
Bob
past four cores, you aren't going to see much (if any) benefit - the majority of tasks are still single-threaded (or at least not that multi-threaded)
@BonGart ...there's no point in doing so :P
 
@Kwaio: no ;p
@BonGart: in his shoes? Throw another box or three in the box
slave keyboard and mouse control
 
@BonGart Let's him buy 3 dual-chip graphic cards worth 800$ each
Then we'll talk about upgrading CPU
 
8:36 AM
@Bob I hear ya... I'm just trying to get into the mind set he might have.
 
@Kwaio: I spent about 2K ish on mine overall.
actually, 1.5K
 
@JourneymanGeek that's my thinking, and why I always have two machines side by side
 
Plus i don't think you will find a lot of dual-CPU triple-PCIe 16x Motherboards
 
That includes a pretty expensive keyboard from my old box, nice mouse, nice case...
oh, and the mouse bungee ;p
 
Didnt Intel mention something about selling processors with disabled cores, where the user could upgrade to more cores later? I have as of yet to see the $100 premo processor on any shelf.
 
8:37 AM
My rig was about 1.1k€
 
@Psycogeek: couple of generations ago
 
@JourneymanGeek did they ever do it ?
 
@Psycogeek: no idea
I don't buy bargain basement hardware
I usually go midrange. I went slightly crazy on this one (16 gb of ram, and a non K core i7) cause I needed something that would run VMs without creaking to a halt.
 
HAMMERZEIT!
 
can't touch this?
 
8:39 AM
@JohnCavil Ice Ice, baby !
 
Bob
@JohnCavil what triggers this? o.O
 
I think Leasing :-) the cpu would be good, if it was Pop one transister in there , and its then works full for the rest of its life. If it added some Activation trash, i would pay to get out of that for sure.
 
@JourneymanGeek Doom me, i bought a K i5 and a H77 Mobo...
 
you people and your disposable incomes
 
@JourneymanGeek And a 50$ high-end heatsink
 
8:40 AM
@BonGart: saved for over a year
@Kwaio: stock heatsink
;p
 
@JourneymanGeek my point is that H77 doesn't allow much overclocking. wo i'm stuck with a 8% overclock from TurboBoost
 
@Kwaio: ahh
 
having spent 150$ over a regular processor in order to overclock it
 
Bob
@Kwaio i5s are perfectly fine
 
Bob
8:41 AM
virtualisation is one of the few reasons you might want an i7
 
I'm stretching every watt and teraflop outta this AMD 110T, cheap Asus board and GTX650
 
Actually, I'd budgeted for an i5
sort of found a shop that was .. a lot cheaper
adjusted my budget slightly (budgeted for 32gb of ram) and got a video card instead
 
Bob
@BonGart Any reason you went AMD + Nvidia?
 
@BonGart: cheapish asus board - I got the baseline one with a Z77 chipset
 
$$$
 
8:43 AM
@Bob: AMD is significantly cheaper than intel
 
@Bob found a place that sold me a complete system with that processor, for $300
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Yes, but why not an AMD/ATI card too?
@BonGart Ah. Wait, complete system? That's.. pretty awesome, actually.
 
@Bob meh... I've always liked NVidia
 
@Bob: heh, I think I may give a fanboy response here
 
Bob
lol
I've almost always gone Intel/Nvidia
 
8:45 AM
well, price too. a 2gb gtx650 for $15
 
@BonGart:my PC before that was from a dumpster ;p
 
er
$150
 
Bob
except that one stint with a s3 piece of crap...
 
I spend more effort tracking down the Antec Super Lanboy case I put it in
 
XD
@BonGart: I like cosair cases a lot
 
8:46 AM
Nothing like a Fractal Design nowadays
 
@JourneymanGeek I love this all aluminum model
no steel. All Aluminum, with a plastic front. and a geek drawer
 
Bob
stoy
 
ZABIVAT' VREMYA!
 
@JohnCavil Is there something wrong ?
 
8:48 AM
thats my desk right now
yeah, those speakers are kinda.. old school
 
plus.google.com/photos/106187684082000485043/albums/… this is what I had as a personal system before XD
 
@BonGart Didnt they have a darth vader spiderman model :-)
 
ahh, there it is plus.google.com/… <- that was how I was running before ;p
@BonGart: hehe. I like the drawer. I have a small case for screws in one of my drive bays
 
8:51 AM
@Psycogeek I don't know... possibly. However, I notice on that Fractal case, they took the drive tray design from Antec... the Super Lanboy uses them
 
Bob
everyone here has good looking cases -_-
 
@BonGart needs more plastic to get brittle and break off
 
@Bob No mine is awful
I won't even link an image to the Coolmaster HAF932
It cools right, but looks wrong
 
@well, I've got two of them, and they are both approaching 10 years old... no cracking, no breakage
 
@BonGart: heh, I had some terrible ones before ;p
 
8:52 AM
(select, right-click, search google...)
 
I got sick of skinning my knuckles.
 
Bob
I'm not even sure which model my case is
oh, wait. it's that one
 
@Bob don't feel bad. There may be something fundamentally wrong with us... at least there is with me, when I'll spend as much for my case tracking one down across the US as I do my video card
 
thats how I store my screws
 
8:56 AM
@JourneymanGeek that's smart, actually
 
@BonGart: I hunted down a pair of headphones for 2 years
 
heh, its something that I'm suprised no one does
 
@JourneymanGeek yeah, but that's headphones
 
@JourneymanGeek ahh, i thought you were going to use that for a rasberry pi case
 
8:57 AM
@BonGart: 2 years. Ended up special ordering the next version of it
;p
@Bob: hehe, I've had worse
 
Bob
I think it was about $60 at the time, which wasn't bad. probably why I chose it
 
I have an actual beige box here
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek yup, got two of those in the corner :P
one P3, one PIII
 
@Bob I dunno that it is a bad case at all. Side mount drives looks like, good enough cooling, plenty of room... what 4 optical bays?
 
@BonGart: PII
lol
 
Bob
8:58 AM
@BonGart 3*
 
@JourneymanGeek Racking Raspberries in 3.5" bays + a switch... that would be some kind of physical virtualisation
It's inside your computer... but physical
 
@BonGart: mine has 4. None in use at the moment, also 6 hard drive bays, 4 in use
 
Bob
it's a cheap thing, though
the power button blastic springy thing broke a while back
hot glued that back together
one of the front LED lights has failed in the weirdest way possible
