The DMZ

@Simon I know what talking is, I just can't imagine you ever holding a constructive conversation that doesn't devolve into "your mom" jokes and giggling

AviD

@Flyk fart jokes, I bet

Simon

@Flyk Well, I do have to admit that sometimes I tell her "your mom in shorts".

God damn it, I'm predictable.

Flyk

and it just doesn't make sense how somebody could actually tolerate the use of the word "yolo"

Iszi

@Flyk To be fair, the "your mom" jokes are probably my fault. I seem to have an unusual fixation, and somehow it ended up a meme centered around @Simon.

Flyk

3:14 PM

not to mention the awkward that will occur when I tell her you want to be a successful DJ "to get the bitches" and educate her in what male DJs are like

Simon

wtf

Flyk

or maybe this could work out well

I could teach her to make music so that she's better than you at the thing you want to do

JukEboX

Someone starred a post of min?:

Iszi

@Flyk Then she gets all the bitches?

Flyk

@Iszi well no, you basically get taken off teh market because even going there would get talked about

society's double standards

Simon

3:15 PM

pls lads, don't make up things about me.

AviD

@Flyk you kinda just did

@Flyk wouldnt take much...

JukEboX

@Simon is a person

Was that made up?

Flyk

@JukEboX +1

Iszi

@Simon We're not. We're making up things about your donut.

AviD

@Simon yeah right

Flyk

3:16 PM

@Iszi isn't that like fiction-ception?

JukEboX

@Flyk ^_^

Iszi

@Flyk Sounds like a cool band name.

David Freitag

Awww yiss, vendor brought donuts.

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag pass one down

David Freitag

@JukEboX I'm trying but it won't fit into the ethernet port

Flyk

3:18 PM

@DavidFreitag do you mean actual donuts or did your vendor just arrive with a cargo container full of young women?

Simon

pls

Flyk

(assuming Simon's donut is young)

Simon

Oh what now, I little young girls?

.

David Freitag

@Flyk No, they are authentic Dunkin style donuts.

Flyk

@Simon as opposed to 25+

which is officially known as "old"

Simon

3:20 PM

She's 24 too.

So, she's a little girl?

Flyk

so, young

Simon

lulz

David Freitag

@Flyk Because the ability to legally rent a car in the US just screams "ancient" to me.

Flyk

@DavidFreitag it's all relative

when I'm >25 but <30, 30+ will be "old"

and <25 will be "baby"

Iszi

@Flyk Dafuq? When did I get old?

David Freitag

3:21 PM

@Iszi The day you were born.

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag lOL thanks anyway. Donut day is Friday around here. New guys is required to bring them in

Flyk

@JukEboX that's sexist

Simon

That's newist.

Flyk

that's grammatically incorrect

David Freitag

Did you expect more from @Simon?

Simon

3:22 PM

Can't I make up words in peace? Jeeze.

Flyk

I wasn't talking about @Simon, I expect nothing from @Simon. The bar of quality is below its lowest level

"new guys is required" is grammatically incorrect

talk about jumping to conclusions

AviD

@Flyk unless that's a title.

or a band name.

Simon

o

JukEboX

@Simon it isn't sexist. The new person is a guy.

Simon

@JukEboX I said newist you donut.

Flyk

3:23 PM

If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked long ago.

JukEboX

Sorry mean @Flyk you are correct @Simon and hell yeah I am. I want my damn donuts you donut

Flyk

@JukEboX I am never mean, adjust your perception

JukEboX

@Flyk I mean "I Mean" not saying your mean . My bad

AviD

@Flyk wow.... that's a thinker.

@JukEboX you're

JukEboX

Jeez Hacking Team was a plethora of goodies: bbc.com/news/technology-33704157?ocid=socialflow_facebook

etherealflux

3:25 PM

@Flyk If you have some ice cream, I will give it to you. If you have no ice cream, I will take it away from you.

AviD

oh you can say "plethora" but you can't get your conjunctions correct?

Rоry McCune

@JukEboX heh I know the guy who runs that co.

Flyk

@etherealflux The river tells no lies, yet a dishonest man standing on the shore will still hear them.

David Freitag

@Flyk Dishonest, yes, or perhaps schizophrenic.

JukEboX

@AviD me no grammar good

@RоryMcCune Hacking Team?

Flyk

3:28 PM

@DavidFreitag You cannot tell the depth of a river until you reach the bottom

Rоry McCune

@JukEboX noo the dudes doing the demo, 4armed

JukEboX

@RоryMcCune I wish I could watch. BRB Cards time

Rоry McCune

@JukEboX they've got the demos on their site as well IIRC

JukEboX

@RоryMcCune link and I will check it out after I get back. Thanks :)

Iszi

@DavidFreitag No, you're thinking of @RoryAlsop

Rоry McCune

3:30 PM

@Flyk are you quoting Stargate at us?

Flyk

yes

Iszi

BTW: @RоryMcCune do you realize that in your effort to defeat ambiguous @Rory'ing, you've also made yourself the most convenient @R to auto-complete?

Flyk

If Windows continuum even works I'm basically going to end up being a Microsoft fangirl, aren't I?

Rоry McCune

@Flyk :op

@Iszi ahh I didn't think @R would work on it's own...

David Freitag

@Flyk I've always been a head-first sort of person.

Rоry McCune

3:31 PM

@Flyk it does sound cool

Iszi

@RоryMcCune No, but @R[TAB] works pretty well for you.

AviD

@Flyk that is empirically not true.

Rоry McCune

@AviD hey no ruining the philisophical quotes with logic!

David Freitag

@Flyk Linky?

AviD

@RоryMcCune Philosophy without logic is just marketing.

Simon

3:33 PM

Especially Logic X.

Iszi

@AviD Is that a TPB reference?

Rоry McCune

@AviD very philisophical of you :op

Iszi

AviD

@Iszi TBP?

Rоry McCune

@JukEboX vid here 4armed.com/blog/galileo-rcs-video-demonstration

AviD

3:34 PM

heh okay THAT I would have figured out

Iszi

@AviD FTFY

AviD

and no, but it could have been

David Freitag

We have no 200V diodes :[

My 1kV voltage multiplier will have to wait until I am no longer poor.

AviD

@DavidFreitag you have a straaaaange sex life.

David Freitag

@AviD Strange to you maybe.

Flyk

3:44 PM

@DavidFreitag www.google.com

David Freitag

@Flyk Oh, sweet. Thanks!

Flyk

what? In the time you waited for me to respond you could have found it and read teh article by now

Simon

teh

Flyk

TEH

David Freitag

@Flyk I did, actually.

Flyk

3:47 PM

@DavidFreitag then you'll know all about the time machine that Microsoft is about to release!

I'm going to be the first to buy one, and immediately go back in time to prevent its creation

David Freitag

@Flyk I'm not a big fan. They tried that with windows 8 and I wasn't a fan.

Simon

You look like a fan.

Flyk

@DavidFreitag everybody gets something like that wrong the first time

David Freitag

Also, that would require me to get a windows phone. isthereaversionforwindowsphone.com

Flyk

I mean America has been trying to implement "Democracy" world wide for 300 years and is still failing

raz

3:49 PM

@Flyk ehhh only worldwide since the 50's

Flyk

Linux has been trying to grow up into a real OS for decades and still is nowhere near

David Freitag

That's because that "implementation of democracy" is really just a clever guise to steal from the rest of the world.

And somehow nobody cares.

Flyk

Everybody has noticed

raz

@DavidFreitag It's not that they haven't noticed, it's that they don't care.

David Freitag

FTFY

Simon

3:50 PM

@Flyk Because no actual production servers are ever running UNIX.

Flyk

I'm not sure how that argues against what I said

"Running on production servers" is hardly a benchmark for "mature OS"

raz

I think it depends on what you define as "real OS"

Simon

^

My definition of a real OS would be something stable.

Flyk

pretty

Simon

Oh wow.

raz

3:52 PM

Linux is just a kernel

You're such a girl.

Windows is stable

As stable as me.

lol

@Simon you're less stable than windows

Simon

3:53 PM

As.

raz

I will say that Win7 is when Windows actually became a stable OS.

Flyk

less.

@raz Good job we weren't talking about ancient history, then

Simon

Then, they unstable it by releasing 8.

raz

Ubuntu 14.04 though is pretty rock solid, with some pretty aspects

Flyk

I don't care that Windows NT 4.5 was shit, because I never used it

Simon

3:54 PM

Then, 9 was such a mess that they've jumped to 10.

raz

@Simon Win8 just had GUI issues for Desktop users, Win8 is still pretty solid.

Flyk

Windows 8 minus the UI was more stable and faster than Windows 7

and the UI wasn't that bad

it was just different

people don't like change so people stamped feet

Simon

You're different.

I HAD A HARD TIME FINDING THE CONTROL PANEL

Flyk

I am, certain from you

Simon

EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME

raz

3:55 PM

@Flyk Yeah, but geared more for mobile. With 8.1 allowing the taskbar again made desktops usable

Flyk

@Simon PEBKAC

raz

@Simon winkey+r "control"

Flyk

right click start > control panel

etherealflux

Windows has had a reasonably consistent experience since 95. 8 upended that

Simon

@raz I believe that the issue was that the OS was in French.

Flyk

3:56 PM

winkey+c+down arrow+down arrow+enter+enter

raz

@Simon Well, anything French is kinda just like giving up

Simon

pls

Rоry McCune

@Simon WIN + type cont <hit enter>

or (IIRC) right-click start button, choose control panel from list

Flyk

@etherealflux Windows was reasonably consistent before Windows 95 and then they changed it for the better, after everybody complained about it upon launch because it was different

1 min ago, by Flyk

right click start > control panel

Rоry McCune

@Flyk In my defence there were like 50 messages since last I looked :op

anyway nice to see that senility hasn't set in so much I forget windows shortcuts

Flyk

3:58 PM

notice how @Simon went quiet

Simon

I WAS MICROWAVING MY LUNCH

Flyk

you were microwaving your brain

etherealflux

He's getting some more pls

Flyk

I have a pls immunity

Simon

@DavidFreitag LUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

David Freitag

3:59 PM

@Simon OMNOMNOM

Q: What are the capabilities of EINSTEIN and how can it be improved?

EINSTEIN is an outdated security system for US government assets. What are its current known capabilities and what improvements can be made in relation to more modern security systems?

Q: A design update is coming!

Most of the changes won’t be visible; these tweaks go along with recent updates that were made to Stack Overflow: We are moving the site's CSS to a newly refactored LESS system, so that it's easier for us to fix SE network CSS bugs globally and launch new features in the future. We are updating...

JukEboX

@raz Retina support? Are you serious? WTF

Lucas Kauffman

when are we getting the new profiles pages tho

its been forever

it seems like @Stackexchange doesn't like us :(

JukEboX

I WISH I COULD COMMENT ON THAT >_<

Hi @LucasKauffman

Lucas Kauffman

wow I should read before commenting

etherealflux

5:46 PM

@JukEboX As you know, only Apple makes screens with more than 5 dpi

JukEboX

rolls eyes @etherealflux

raz

@LucasKauffman Yeah you should

etherealflux

they also invented rectangles

JukEboX

@etherealflux Retina "HD" displays were behind the times when they were first released. Hardware was showing better resolution on same sized screens. They only reason people "want" it is because they have no idea what "resolution" is

It's like when donuts were buying 2 different sets of CD (1 for music & 1 for data)

Simon

Sure, because retina displays are definitely bad quality.

JukEboX

5:52 PM

@Simon I am not saying they are bad quality. I am just saying it's nothing new.

Simon

So, to enjoy a technology, it has to be new?

JukEboX

No. But to say that you need to upgrade things because of "retina" standards is obscure. It's like telling your users that if they don't have an apple product with the same resolution they wont' get the advantage of the change even if they don't understand it.

What that change should say: "•We are updating the graphics to SVG for HD Resolutions."

etherealflux

The only reason they call it "retina" is because it makes their products sound special

JukEboX

I am going to post a question. Please feel free to down vote it.

@etherealflux exactly

etherealflux

ergo you must pay their hilarious hardware markup

or you aren't with the curve, man

Simon

5:57 PM

Sigh, scumbag Apple, giving a name to their display.
