@CanadianLuke Hang up!

@tapped-out For fragile items like HDMI adapter I would need to use pads in vice?

@Fitzroy Who's son are you then?

@Boris_yo sharp one sided razers, fresh new one for a job like that. I keep so many razors around because of all the projects and using a fresh sharp one, people expect to be doing lines :-)

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say Blah Blah Blah Yackity Smackity!

And a happy new year, etc...

@Psycogeek Straight razor is expensive...

@Fitzroy Happy 2015!

@Boris_yo no them ones that go into boxcutters, come 100 in a box

@Psycogeek Ah disposable?

tapped-out

12:31 AM

(aka utility knives, at least where i come from)

I probably need to ask Shadow Warrior for help...

Or Wolverine, or Baraka

@Boris_yo yea the blade is. but nothing else compares to the one. the blades we buy for these gnr8.biz/product_info.php?products_id=241 tile cutters are not the same , and the snap off kind promises a fresh blade en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Box-cutter.jpg But not as sharp and where it breaks off isnt very sharp at all

@Psycogeek Serrated blade is better?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BoxCutter.jpg But the blades that come in these, we used for actual boxcutting in the store. they are almost as sharp as a doubble blade (for shaving) but are way less dangerous

But just like tapped-out said , Stuff slips :-)

@Boris_yo I have peeled away the ruberized plastic from around a few connectors, one i went too far back (still worked) In most situations it is just plastic and is easily Cut away with Sharp stuff . I wouldnt use serated. If i had to i would only use a very thin and sharp serated, not a steak knife or china ginsu knife unless it was very thin.

The aliens that created us Intended us to use such things, thats why they gave us the extra fingers, 3 and a thumb would have done the job, so the extra come in handly later :-)

Canadian Luke

Grrr. Damn drop box. You're waiting till the new year

hmm what is a .mftc file? as in dot.MFTC

I dont know why these programmers write in such oblique and obscure dialogs, it is not like they are talking to a machine direct. I think somone is putting them through hell to test thier resolve.

back in dos which fit on a floppy and ran in a few Kb things a person just types >Copy this to that and it worked. Now with 450meg base SDKs , they write 20 pages of cryptic trash to do the same thing , which then takes 600megs (after updates) of stuff on the client computer to do it. Progress :-)

@Psycogeek The magic of OOP, reusability, reading over writing and many other elements. It's generally an improvement though.

@Thor 60,000 shared dlls , only 50 programs using them :-)

(as if i am going to share your dirty dlls)

Trying to find a good 'expect' port for windows...

@Psycogeek Rather 60,000 shared dlls, than 500 bundled with each application!

@Thor they do that too :-) i got 1 program using each .Net framework.

@Thor plus i think i am up to 6 or so versions of that one MS set they always be needing. Its like the pigpile AMD drivers , each set of them runs one game correct :-)

@Psycogeek Yes, clearly you'll want backwards compatibility.

@Thor on the other hand, i still have a program done in some lower level programming, that has lived since win95 or win98 still working. And (at the time) i thought it was the most sofisticated of the bunch, a 3D program, with all the features.

Just didnt have 500 dependencies.

But todays programmers are dedicated, , , to one program, , , they can barely keep up with the changes to make it survive all the changes in the rest of the systems. (but then it dies anyways)

@Psycogeek Yes, and at the same time the maintainability of said problem, along with the time spent on it - is probably not on par with many other applications.

If they were car mechnics, no problem, because they are still using the horribly archaic combustion engine made almosts 100 years ago. (100 if you count swamp gas)

Not to say that it can't be, or that it wasn't, because you can clearly do that in a low-level language as well, but still.

@Thor I dont know if they are "allowed" to be low level anymore?

1:28 AM

@Psycogeek You can still do low-level programming if you'd like, nobody's stopping you.

The Win32 API is still there if you want it :)

the rest of the system needs to think Big. start with the 512bit system, and only use 64 of them :-)

I wonder if anyone has fully implemented Intels other 5 super processor enhancers that were put in 10 years ago? it always takes some time for the software to catch up, right before intel adds in another co-processor or quickeey instruction side task method or whatever.
