Well, I know that in some parts of America you can do a degree in Klingon...

Yes

What else did you expect from Americans?

Sadly we have a lot of silly/stupid/wasteful/insert terrible thing here stuff.

Having a cancel and next button when the text states Continue

Surprising you'd bring that up, since you have no proof that code was written by an American..

I actually ran it with a different Gtk module and it worked as expected, which was weird.

7:10 PM

Maybe the API ws in something cheap

I believe the difference was one used PyGtk and the other used the other python bindings.. I forget what they're called.

libcall?

I bet it was gi.repository.

@NathanOsman You mean it isn't?

No.

View the source for any modern website. It's all lowercase.

7:18 PM

Oh

Why not?

The uppercase tags are ugly.

Reminds me too much of SQL :P

That's, like, your opinion dude.

Yes, but it's shared by virtually everyone else.

Having said that, I don't capitalize my tags anymore either but I thought it was still the norm.

unless you play in SQL you have no idea how ugle UC tags are

7:19 PM

Not only that, typing uppercase letters on a keyboard is more awkward.

@NathanOsman That's why I don't do it :)

Despite thinking it was better, I find it makes the tags stick out more when you don't have syntax highlighting.

I think the original intention was to visually separate the tags from the content. But now we have syntax highlighting.

But then I learned HTML sometime around 98 so old habits...

user136984

Does this Klingon translator work for anyone?

How would I know if it worked?

user136984

7:21 PM

Well, go there, type in some text in English, and ask it to convert.

user136984

And see if it does anything.

@Toroidal Nope

user136984

Good...

broke

user136984

Well, that's not good, but it's good that it isn't just me!

user136984

7:22 PM

:D

@Toroidal Try different browsers. It probably only works on IE or something

user136984

Ok

Has anyone had a chance yet to try out the NitroShare builds I released?

Argh! Stupid Apple :P

user136984

@RPiAwesomeness OS? Or Fruit?

Q: ClamAV: Can't read file ERROR

7:32 PM

OS. iTunes + iTunes store really.

I wanted to subscribe to the Hello Internet podcast, but it friggin says that the requested thing isn't available in the US store when it clearly is.

Same thing if I try to just browse the store.

It's the new version of iTunes I think :P

user136984

Does anybody have any idea about what these errors could be about and if they are anything to worry about?

user136984

When running the command today: sudo clamscan -r --detect-pua / > clamscan1.txt I got very many errors going along the lines of these ones: /sys/fs/ecryptfs/version: Can't read file ERROR /sys/fs/ext4/sda1/inode_readahead_blks: Can't read file ERROR /sys/fs/ext4/sda1/mb_max_to_scan: Can't rea...

user136984

:)

Why are you running an antivirus scanner in the first place?

user136984

I'm paranoid.

7:36 PM

@NathanOsman I haven't had time to collect two computers, but I might be able to do it later today..

No problem - just curious.

@Toroidal Umm...

If you're paranoid, you have far more important security issues to worry about than viruses. Viruses are a non-issue in the non-windows world. SSL on the other hand...

^

user136984

Well, no matter why I am running the scan, I would still like to know what the errors are about and if they are anything to worry about.

user136984

:)

user136984

7:39 PM

Because even if I probably won't get a virus, I could give a virus accidentally then to someone who uses Windows that I have contact with.

I don't think you can, especially not in those locations.

It's most likely just a permissions issue

same thing happens when I do backups of my PC

@Toroidal Not really, no. They would need to infect you in order to be able to propagate. Worst case scenario is you receive an infected file from someone and pass it along. Can't do it accidentally though, I mean it can't send itself.

and that ^

Anyway, no I wouldn't worry about those errors, files in /sys are not regular files.

user136984

Ok

user136984

7:42 PM

By the way, I have added some more information from my Terminal errors which were coming too to my question. And judging by these it is probably a permissions problem.

user136984

But why do I not have the correct permissions to scan these?

@NathanOsman sorry, been busy lately. I have some days this week I can try.

Awesome.

user136984

As I did do the sudo command before the rest of it, so it should have run it will superuser privilages.

@NathanOsman I'll give it a try if I have time once I finish testing the Pi 2, if that's any help :)

7:47 PM

@Toroidal Yes but /sys is special. They're not normal files.

user136984

Ok

Sysfs

sysfs is a virtual file system provided by the Linux kernel. By using virtual files, sysfs exports information about various kernel subsystems, hardware devices and associated device drivers from the kernel's device model to user space. In addition to providing information about various devices and kernel subsystems, exported virtual files are also used for their configuring. sysfs provides similar functionality as the sysctl mechanism found in BSD operating systems, with the difference that sysfs is implemented as a virtual file system instead of being a purpose-built kernel mechanism. =...

$ mount | grep  '/sys '
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

@Toroidal bing has klingnon it looks like

I don't know the details (so I can't post an answer) but stuff in sys is weird and does not behave like a regular file.

@Mateo Ok, thanks! :)

that works better.

no, that's not right ;)

hmm.

user136984

nuq vIghel SoH?

user136984

It translates to "Greetings earthlings, how is this?".

Not on bing it doesnt..

8:14 PM

@Toroidal "of him and what's going on?" Is what it gave me..

user136984

Well bing converted "Greetings earthlings, how is this?" to "earthlings ghaH 'ej Duvan, chay'?".

Bing thinks it is Swedish.

user136984

:D

@Seth turn off the auto detect

8:14 PM

It isn't much of a language, hence messy translations.

@Mateo I was being lazy and using the SE bot :P

Even when I do it on the bing site it doesn't translate to that though...

Ah...

user136984

Well apparently they got an actual university linguist to make the Klingon language, and apparently it also has it's very own grammar and everything, and is really a real language different in words and structure to any other.

yes, but they didn't actually invent that many words.

user136984

I wonder though if there is an actual reliable Klingon translator...

Just what they needed for the show and anything else came up afterward.

Which is why I believe it doesn't work too well.

user136984

8:17 PM

You mean that the language developed, and when people needed to say more in the language, new words were invented, sounds like any other language to me...

Right, except there still isn't a "standard" and I'm sure a number of words you input into the translator have no real translation.

gizmodo.com/5408022/…

user136984

Well then it's up for us to make up those new words! ;)

@Mateo How is that not abuse...

user136984

If you need a word, make it up!

user136984

8:19 PM

;D

@Seth I don't know. Apparently there are schools and dedicated groups that speak it to each other.

kli.org

@RPiAwesomeness Trying to tell someone else what language they need to speak to their child in would be abuse IMO. I'm not thrilled to learn it of that, I don't think it is a good idea, but I hardly feel I have the right to force them to do something different.

@Seth True...

I was thinking like our government :P

@terdon That's one thing I've never been able to figure out.. I could be wrong, that's just what I remember reading. Maybe what I was reading was really old? It's been a long time since the language was conjured I guess..

@RPiAwesomeness better stop thinking like that or bad things could happen D:

@Seth ikr. D:

8:22 PM

According to wikipedia:

> A small number of people are capable of conversing in Klingon. Arika Okrent guessed in her book In the Land of Invented Languages that there might be 20–30 fluent speakers.

I thought there were considerably more.

My dad has a Klingon dictionary downstairs somewhere...

I don't like this trend of extending camera sensors..

lol, Austin in the background.

Is Austin photobombing with his spiky hair again?

Something like that ;)

They were collaborating.

Ah :)

8:26 PM

Marques is so serious and Austin to silly. It's really funny to watch.

It is. They're quite different.

user136984

That kli.org website that you (@terdon) mentioned is actually on 4 well known blacklists for spamming... I wonder if the spam is in Klingon... :P ;D

Have you watched any of Austin's old videos? Holy cow has he cut down his accent a crap ton

@RPiAwesomeness no, I haven't actually.

that's not half bad for a camera

@Seth the want you to stream and pay for it over and over and over....

Movies and series:359G

My music is currently @ 3.0GB

8:28 PM

Wow.

Granted, that's not all of it - I still have to transfer some from my laptop

My collection is like 5MB :P

@Seth Wha?

^ this

Remember that I come from the age before streaming was available.

8:29 PM

Hm. IR sensor tap for a selfie. Interesting idea

I don't really listen to music ;)

@Seth Apparently not :)

@Seth That is like just enough for only the my little pony theme song...

hmm, I'll have to actually check.

Now that I think about it it's probably bigger. I'm not sure how big the average song is :P

About 4

8:34 PM

A very rough rule of thumb is 1min =~ 1M

I do prefer the look of the new Samsung phones over the older S phones

user136984

By the way, does anyone know where one can learn Klingon?

@terdon well in that case I was way off o_O

okay, did any of you see this?

It is HILARIOUS!
