Root Access

I need to decide if I want to use the drive that's on this computer as a storage drive for the new computer, leave this computer as is on a new case, or something else

Bob

ah

well, drives and storage space are hardly expensive

wut

Good day,

We wates construction group learn from our agent that your company deal on crane’s, and  we are interested to so please fill us with the necessary information about the specific type zipped and attached to this mail and provide us with the

 1. price,

2.shipment cost, and

3.first deposit percentage and payment mode.



Thank you

Paul .ExCo

Journeyman Geek

lol

Bob

the subject was weird enough: we are interested in your crane

Journeyman Geek

7:23 AM

old, scrapperish mentality. HATE to use things less than efficently

Bob

and a nice attachment: crane_photo.7z, 3.9kB

anyone got a honeypot set up?

@JourneymanGeek I meant, the existing data (and OS) may be worth more than a new hard drive

especially if it's not particularly big

if you take it out, your old computer would be lacking a HDD, wouldn't it?

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: the system is a backup. Its pretty crap actually so there's nothing i care much on it

Well, I have another, smaller, older drive

and this is the dumpster system, which I am moving off the nice case into a spare case, grabbing a old PSU I had lying around....

basically its the PC equivilent of the car up on blocks for spares

I could in theory dump anything i don't need now, delete surplus OSes and image it into a nice neat image in case I need it

Ivo Flipse

10:41 AM

@OliverSalzburg still no news :(

Bob

11:17 AM

...seriously?

answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/…

I have 1119 of those folders. Great.

Ivo Flipse

DELETE * 1119 :P

It can't be as bad as having to go through all your measurements to check if 1 or 2 pixels are labeled incorrectly...

Bob

Firefox: 40 MB

Chrome: keeps a 100 MB 7zip file for ever version that has ever been installed on the system

in the user profile.

come on

Ivo Flipse

@Bob I don't know why they keep the old version

A: I have my profiled synced, if they bork it, just pull my synced data

B: Clean up your goddamn trash already

Bob

@IvoFlipse nothing to do with the profile

this is the actual application

Ivo Flipse

So why keep the old version?

Bob

11:27 AM

no clue

it's a real pain when trying to back up my user profile though

A: Stop Google Chrome hoarding previous update versions?

There's a nifty tool called OldChromeRemover, which removes older versions of Chrome. OldChromeRemover is a simple console program that checks for any redundant versions of Google Chrome left behind by the updater. It will quickly remove all except the newest version when prompted by the user...

:P

Ivo Flipse

Make it a blog post, that also explains the scheduler bit :P

Bob

@Sathya that.. is a painful hack...

Sathya

@IvoFlipse sounds good, will write

Bob

eh, I'll probably set it in the pre-backup script

Ivo Flipse

11:32 AM

Meanwhile, hurray! It deleted one old version :)

I seem to have lost my Picasa database when upgrading, now that's a pain :(

Journeyman Geek

12:09 PM

java does that too

and there's an application for removing that

... maintained by the same folk

go fig

Oliver Salzburg

12:23 PM

I just remembered why I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat...

Journeyman Geek

it sucks? ;p

/me is a fan of pdf exchange viewer, in spite of its attempts to install the ask toolbar

Oliver Salzburg

This is for Acrobat, not Viewer

Not that it would be irreplaceable :P

Journeyman Geek

ahh

my bad ;p

Oliver Salzburg

I'd say I'd never install Adobe Viewer...

But one of our clients might want to put 3D PDFs on their site...

It will be a dark day when I have to implement that

@IvoFlipse On the Nexus4?

Journeyman Geek

... 3d PDFs?

ahh, the website OF THE DEVIL

Oliver Salzburg

12:31 PM

@JourneymanGeek Right. But I was asked for an alternative suggestion and was unable to provide one

I wanted to use github.com/tbuser/thingiview.js

But, of course, it doesn't run on IE

Which will not work for an industry website

And most people in that industry have Adobe Reader, because they don't know better

And that is where Adobe get's their cake

You use what everyone can play, even if the solution is horrible

Journeyman Geek

I guess ;p

3d is just the next big fad ._.

The 70s called, they want their funny glasses back

Ivo Flipse

@OliverSalzburg yeah

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse The 10 hasn't arrived yet either

@JourneymanGeek Well, they sell engineered components (don't know how to describe it better). Other engineers come to their website to pick out parts. I guess, 3D presentation of the data makes sense.

Ivo Flipse

12:49 PM

No news on the shipping either I presume, given they said 2-3 weeks

Journeyman Geek

1:04 PM

@OliverSalzburg: ugh, don't confuse me with the facts ;p

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse Nothing yet.

Ivo Flipse

no problem, just hard to be patient :P

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse I bet :D

Ivo Flipse

Especially since I'm really starting to dislike the iPad

HaydnWVN

@IvoFlipse You can't say that in a public chatroom, what if Apple find out?! :o

Hi all ;)

Oliver Salzburg

1:06 PM

@HaydnWVN Cheers!

Ivo Flipse

They'll stop taking my money?

I wasn't planning on getting a job at Apple

Journeyman Geek

lol

HaydnWVN

@OliverSalzburg MS Windows ;)

Journeyman Geek

they will send their crack team of turtlenecked clone assassins ;p

Oliver Salzburg

@HaydnWVN Good point. :D But I like Windows ;)

soandos

1:21 PM

Anyone here a c++ person?

Ivo Flipse

Probably not better than you :P

soandos

I wish everyone were better than me :p

Journeyman Geek

I wouldn't, it would be a pain in the ass getting anything done ;p

1:34 PM

nice dota2alttab.com

Ivo Flipse

Tempting @OliverSalzburg: ebay.nl/itm/…

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse That's so sad :P

Ivo Flipse

@OliverSalzburg How so?

The biggest downside is the import tax

400 euro is the retail price in Europe anyway

Oliver Salzburg

The whole "I buy a new gadget and resell it to tech junkies on eBay" part

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: there's a whole industry doing that here

Oliver Salzburg

1:45 PM

@JourneymanGeek That's a very valid point :D

Journeyman Geek

they tend to sell $shiny_unavailable_gadget at huge markup

Ivo Flipse

@OliverSalzburg like Ben Brocka, though he did it by accident I think

Oliver Salzburg

I like a nice, new gadget as much as the next guy. But everything in the direction of pitching a tent in front of an Apple store, really gives me a bad mood :P

Ivo Flipse

@OliverSalzburg I was initially planning on buying a Chinese phone, but the price difference makes it less interesting compared to the Nexus 4

Worse, the decent Chinese phones aren't generally available yet either

Also, MIUI looks like iOS, which I absolutely dread

Oliver Salzburg

Paying for quality is fine. I guess what I dislike is that I feel like there is a general drive to own the latest revision of a certain gadget. And, the sooner, the better!

Bob

1:50 PM

@JourneymanGeek they fixed it at some point, I think?

I hope*

Ivo Flipse

@OliverSalzburg You clearly don't have a GF who needs a new phone ;)

Journeyman Geek

not as far as I know ;p

Bob

I don't understand why programs developed/maintained by large companies can't implement clean updates..

It can't be that hard, can it?

Oliver Salzburg

@IvoFlipse Present parties excluded, obviously :D

Journeyman Geek

;p

Apparently so

@IvoFlipse: there's a difference between "I need every shiny phone" and "I need a shinier phone, cause mine is old" ;p

or broken

Ivo Flipse

1:52 PM

@OliverSalzburg I'm giving her my GNexus, so not really a party gift, just a great excuse to upgrade

Journeyman Geek

or in my case, I had to get a new line, and I might as well get a new phone

Bob

@OliverSalzburg Not in a PDF, normally. There's a few shopping sites that let you rotate an object (I think they use Flash, though HTML5/JS or even Unity3D would do the job).

Journeyman Geek

/me loves the One V, even if its stuck on android 4.0

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob As I said, I proposed github.com/tbuser/thingiview.js

Flash is just as bad as 3D PDF IMHO

And Unity3D doesn't help because most people don't have that installed

Bob

@OliverSalzburg probably easier to use

I'm not even sure how 3D PDF works...

Oliver Salzburg

1:54 PM

@Bob It's trivial.

"They" can simply export it from their CAD applications, embedding is a one-liner

All the controls are in the Adobe Viewer

It's one of those things that noone uses, but it introduces the security holes they constantly have to fix :D

Ivo Flipse

Having everything natively in the browser sure would be nice

Oliver Salzburg

Shocking that IE is the show-stopper :P

Bob

@OliverSalzburg Chrome Frame?

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob Also has to be installed, right?

Bob

ActiveX control or something. But yea, has to be 'installed'.

@OliverSalzburg Anything to get WebGL support in IE would help, but they all have to be installed :\

huh

this could work: nihilogic.dk/labs/canvas3d

seems to work in IE9

Oliver Salzburg

2:14 PM

@Bob Interesting. I'll check that out later. Thanks

Bob

might not be worth your trouble though, since you'd have to convert output from whatever program they use

Blog - Stack Exchange: Join Stack Overflow in Berlin for a blowout bash on December 5!

Bethany Marzewski on November 26, 2012

Guten Tag, Berlin!

It’s our last party of the year, and this time, we’re heading to Germany to meet and mingle with the Stack Overflow community! As you may have noticed, we’ve been tearing up Denver this year with our opening reception of our new office and then again during Denver Startup Week last month. So we thought it was about time to bring the party to Europe.

If you’re in or around Berlin on Dec. 5 (or just want to book a last-minute trip), come clink glasses with us at Betahaus (Prinzessinnenstraße 19-20) from 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. While there, we’ll also be launching our first official translation of Careers 2.0 for German candidates and employers. …

Oliver Salzburg

allquixotic

I've developed two Rhythmbox plugins making heavy use of Gstreamer, so, since it's trivial to construct a gstreamer pipeline and run it from the command line if you know what elements and properties to pass, it's easier for me to wire up a gst pipeline than click through a GUI
