@ThatBrazilianGuy yea, you buy games and get steam keys
 
That's not what I know as keygen.
 
Anonymous
me neither
 
why? it generates keys
you just have to pay for them
 
Then you're buying keys, not keygens.
You drive cars, not production lines.
A keygen that generates a single key is a pretty lousy keygen.
HEY NSA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KEYGENS HERE LA LA LA
 
Bob
@ThatBrazilianGuy He never said you were buying keygens.
He said Amazon is like a keygen
 
2:18 PM
> the Amazon games store (...) is little more than a legal Steam keygen
Fuck my English reading comprehension.
 
basically the actual product that Amazon is selling you, is access to a Steam key
you can download the product from Amazon themselves (I think) but you can just as easily just copy your key from your games list and activate it on Steam
 
Yes, I do understand now what you meant. And I agree. The amazon service itself is comparable to a legal keygen owned by Amazon. You pay them, they generate a key and give it to you.
They very much probably have some instances of a keygen process running somewhere. (or do they order the keys from Valve?)
 
they might be using the same API as HiB uses
 
Bob
@allquixotic I think I found my problem
 
Quite possibly.
 
Bob
2:22 PM
it was throwing on this: gist.github.com/Elusive138/…
because rslt had no dispatchevent
I can just do the same thing I did here: github.com/Elusive138/SEChatBotAwesomium/blob/master/…
and grab the URL and tell it to navigate there
that is, tell it to navigate to rslt.href
The Awesomium login process works, and it almost only relies on pure JS/DOM, unlike the Selenium one - Selenium seems to add some extra methods
(too bad Awesomium is using an old engine and isn't headless and breaks on Linux :S)
 
so can you get it working with zombie js? :D
 
Bob
@allquixotic maybe
:P

Q: INSTALL WINDOWS XP MODIFIED ISO FROM GRUB AS I DO NOT HAVE CD DRIVE

UtkarshThere is a modified Windows xp ISO with me and i am not having CD drive. I want to directly install it from GRUB. Also, I have tried booting it from USB but Windows XP cannot be installed through USB. Please tell me how to do it.

 
eww all caps.

blood pressure arose?
 
2:26 PM
and flagging entirely acceptable foul language? WHAT ARE WE, THE BRIDGE?

Bob
@JourneymanGeek It's always Utkarsh.
 
Good morning Root Access
@JourneymanGeek flagged as offensive
 
Bob
He also flagged my relatively minor swearing earlier.
 
@kalina: however quotable for truth.
 
Bob
Every time he comes in and sees swearing, he flags for offensive. Blah.
 
2:27 PM
@JourneymanGeek mmmh, ok fine, I'll accept that
 
Bob
We aren't little kids here.
 
@Bob obviously you have a little kid in here somewhere
 
woah
 
@Bob No, you are primarily foxen.
Hi @joker.

@KitFox Hi?
Hi!
 
Long time no see!

@KitFox Long time no see you too
 
We do apologize for the inconvenience, Service Manuals which include instructions for taking the machine apart or cleaning the inside of the machine are only provided to Brother Authorized Service Centers, as the information is confidential and proprietary. Please contact a Brother Authorized Service Center for repairs on your specific product
Thanks a lot... Brother
 
Bob
@Boris_yo For all people say about HP, they do freely provide the service manuals on their site :P
 
2:29 PM
You can find some of them online, where the servicers have posted them.
 
Bob
@KitFox Sometimes they do issue takedowns, though :(
 
Yeah.
 
@KitFox Servicers? From authorized service centers?
 
Hey, want to hear a funny story about HP?
 
@KitFox Go on!
 
Bob
2:30 PM
Hm? Laptop catch fire? Blow up in your face? Singe your fur (that would be a shame...)?
 
@Boris_yo Yes. They break the agreement but usually post them anonymously.
So imagine if you will...
 
@kalina Wait what, you just say THE BRIDGE and then poof, @kalina appears?
 
Bob
@ThatBrazilianGuy I think she (he?) dropped in just before :P
 
A nuclear sub at cruising depth. The systems all suddenly go offline.
 
Bob
Also, (s)he threatened to set me on fire before :(
 
2:31 PM
Do you want to hear this story or not?
 
Bob
@KitFox Sorry, sorry. Do go on.
 
(S)he is insane. And blue. And a pony. (and doesn't taste like chicken).
 
The sub does an emergency surface and raises the communications rig.
The screens come up "Your license has expired. Please contact your local HP representative for service."
So they radio HP helpdesk.

Q: Install Windows XP modified ISO from grub without a CD drive

UtkarshI have a modified Windows XP install media. It is stored as an .iso CD image, but I don't have a CD drive to burn it to. I have tried booting it from USB but Windows XP cannot be installed through USB. I want to directly install it from GRUB. Please tell me how to do it.

 
@ThatBrazilianGuy I arrived just before
 
2:33 PM
!! s/helpdesk/helpless desk/
2
 
@allquixotic So they radio HP helpless desk. (source)
 
HP helpdesk says, "What is your location, so I can locate your rep."
 
@Bob Who is this s/he?
 
@Bob she would set you on fire but it's not tracked in this room so it's a waste of good fire
 
@KitFox And then you say "shiboleet".
 
2:34 PM
@ThatBrazilianGuy how do you know what I taste like? <insert obligatory "pervert" comment here>
 
Comms officer asks the skipper what to tell them, since their location is classified.
 
I know how this one ends! :D HP gets in to the communications rig through a backdoor with the login "admin" and the password "password"... oh wait, that's their enterprise SANs
 
The skipper takes the horn and shouts "We're about 400 miles SSW of Reykjavik in the North Atlantic, which I don't mind telling you is well within range of your office. Get my systems back online NOW!"
 
Is Reykjavik the capital of Ireland?
 
2:37 PM
no
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy are you stalking me?
3
 
you're one letter off.
 
@jokerdino Yes, and Dublin the capital of Iceland
2
 
@jokerdino yes but @JourneymanGeek is being pedantic
 
sometimes known as ashland.
 
2:37 PM
!!no
 
and New Delhi is the capital of the USA
 
Paris is the capital of Australia
 
Ireland, Iceland. What difference? They are all up there in a corner.
 
Paris is the capital of Australia, that is itself located on Texas.
 
2:38 PM
You boys sure know how to flog a good story.
 
@jokerdino you have a very Chennaiocentric worldview... Copernicus and Galileo would disapprove
 
@KitFox Did I miss the story? Do tell!
 
@jokerdino Ireland is in the east
 
@jokerdino You cut me deep just then.
 
@KitFox no, we just like to call new Thread() in a tight loop; don't mind us, please do finish
 
2:39 PM
@allquixotic I always liked to think I knew a little of world geography.
 
we always have an event blocking on your next message ;)
 
No, that was the whole thing.
 
...that was IT??
 
Also, turkeys are a country. In fact, two countries:
 
sighs
 
wait.......
 
Actually, I did want to type that thing out as Iceland. But for some reason, I was imagining about leprechauns. My bad.

A nuclear sub at cruising depth. The systems all suddenly go offline.
> all systems
> which I don't mind telling you is well within range of your office
 
@jokerdino Did you mean: Icelandic elves?
 
within range for what, exactly, with all systems offline?
are they going to spray them with compressed oxygen?
 
2:41 PM
That's an excellent question, especially since they couldn't move either.
But I don't think that was the point.
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy no Icelandic leprechauns. VERY elusive and uncommon
 
you'd think, as the HP person in Reykjavik, that'd you be like "I'm content to let you sit there; what guarantee do I have that if I get your sub working that you won't fire a missile at my facility?"
 
I should delete the whole thread.
 
and submarines would have redundant systems anyway ;p
 
Bob
@allquixotic could you email me the new login details?
 
2:43 PM
@JourneymanGeek They would and they would all be on the same license agreement.
 
where the subs powered by Nukes?
 
@JourneymanGeek all Federation standard craft have triple redundant systems
 
Bob
I've managed to get it to the point of grabbing the signin iframe
 
primaries, secondaries, and emergencies
@Bob ooh, nice. email away any second now :) (well, minute, probably)
 
@JourneymanGeek Was that you who had a Icelandic GF?
 
2:44 PM
nope
 
Why some files cannot be downloaded with download managere/accelerators? For example I want to download brothermanual.pdf and can download with browser's download feature but cannot download with download manager/accelerator. I get download.php file everytime.
 
@JourneymanGeek Or was it French?
 
@jokerdino if JourneymanGeek had a GF, my perception of him would be permanently ruined
3
 
@allquixotic: every dog has his day. And dog days. And days in the dog house.
 
@allquixotic I think he had one at some point of time.
 
2:45 PM
I always thought of him as a loner dog and happy to nuzzle around in wires and circuit boards instead of worrying about the wimminz
maybe he's neutered ;p
 
Bob
@allquixotic well, no, one step above :(
 
@Bob see?! trying to get that frame is hard
 
@jou that I think is what I am confusing with.
 
Bob
@allquixotic any ideas to translate this line? github.com/Elusive138/SEChatBotAwesomium/blob/master/…
I remember the frames thing didn't with with Awe either
 
re: (removed) @JourneymanGeek that's ... umm... pretty tragic :/ sorry
 
2:47 PM
@allquixotic: thats how I am these days. Nose deep in PCs ;p
@allquixotic: its one of the reasons I dropped out of school actually
 
@allquixotic it can be spinned in a lighter way though. If she can't have Jou, she can't be a girl anymore!
 
Bob
any ideas at all would help
 
@JourneymanGeek what, due to the relationship while you were in it, or the aftershock?
 
(OK might be a bad one)
 
@allquixotic: bit of both
 
2:48 PM
@Bob once I get something off my hot plate for work; I'm pseudo not-really-working-from-home atm
 
long story, and not one I'm comfortable talking about in a publically searchable chat ;p
 
password email is sent btw
 
@JourneymanGeek My bad. Sorry for digging.
 
got my code signing cert :D wewt
 
@jokerdino: no biggie, its past
 
2:49 PM
<-- stopped dating after i was cheated on :P
 
@allquixotic: oh, that happened
 
Bob
well I'm an idiot

A: HTML: Getting document from IFrame

pkaedingYou should be able to access the document in the IFRAME using the following code: document.getElementById('myframe').contentWindow.document However, you will not be able to do this if the page in the frame is loaded from a different domain (such as google.com). THis is because of the browser'...

nope, that doesn't work either
 
@allquixotic is that smiley an invitation for jokes or..?
 
@Bob just make a loop of loops that tries every possible character string sequence with random periods between them until something doesn't return undefined
@jokerdino sure, i'm happy to joke about it
 
@allquixotic: I personally think at this point, the old ways make more sense for me ;p
 
2:50 PM
these days i think i "date" music... like, music itself
 
arranged marriage and all that
 
don't know how to describe it better than that :P
@JourneymanGeek so lucky to live in a culture like that :P
 
@allquixotic yeah well. Helps the loners :P
 
@allquixotic: heh, I suppose!
 
arranged marriage is "lolno" here, unless you're an immigrant from a place that does that
 
2:51 PM
there's a certain degree of freedom in it, but I rather doubt I'll find a properly geeky lady.
 
even if I went back to Ireland after not being there for some 5 generations, they don't have arranged marriage there
 
@Manishearth figured there is a 30% chance of falling in love with an arranged spouse.
 
30% > 0%
I'd take it
 
@allquixotic: its not a perfect system, but it works well enough most of the time. You just do things the other way ;p
Well, depends on whether you're willing to make it work.
And well, I have simple needs ;p
 
I'd be willing to try almost anything except for a mail-order bride; those seem like they are very likely to be a totally disingenuous relationship
 
Just understand I need computers and books, and everything will be fine ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek Nothing more than a kennel? xD
 
@jokerdino: with decent wifi reception, or better yet, gig-e. Dogs have standards.
 
lol
 
lol
 
2:54 PM
gig-e with what uplink?
symmetrical 1gbps?
that's not standards; that's being way too greedy
you have to settle for less, buddy
 
@allquixotic: faster the better. We're at 25mbps cable for now, and its good enough
 
@JourneymanGeek I hate you.
 
but I need fast reliable internal connections
 
always settle, especially at our advanced age </malePatternBaldness>
 
late 20s is hardly advanced age around here.
 
2:56 PM
I'm really old for a dog ;p
 
Advanced starts around 32-ish.
 
@jokerdino not physically fit; emotionally feel like 45; balding.... yeah, advanced age
 
@jokerdino What are you doing at the Middle Ages? How do they have computers there?
 
my numerical age is not very well mapped to how i feel or look
 
@allquixotic :(
@ThatBrazilianGuy You see, I am at the Jurassic era.
 
2:57 PM
both my canine alter ego and I are a little bit overweight, and have leg problems ;p
 
@jokerdino Oh, then you obviously meant millions of years. My bad.
 
:O jokerdino is so many hours back on daylight savings time from GMT that he's currently living in the 32nd earth year after the Big Bang.... wow... have any stars formed yet joker?
 
(and the computers, of course, are from the Astronaut Gods)
 
he's GMT-331,152,000,000
 
@allquixotic There is one that is bright and yellow-ish. Comes around every 12 hours.
I might have misread the question. 32nd earth year but no earth?
 
3:00 PM
@jokerdino My hair line is receding :'(
 
At that point of time, just one big ball of starry stuff that is growing bigger and bigger
 
@jokerdino 32nd 365-day-period
 
@Gowtham :( Poor girls in your college
i mean unlucky.
 
Bob
@allquixotic argh
how the heck do I dump the document to a file? :S
 
use >
 
3:01 PM
@Bob from what? zomb?
 
STDOUT it to the file
 
Bob
@allquixotic yes
@jokerdino from nodejs, and it must be done synchronously or the next line kills it
 
@Bob idk. maybe reverse the procedure i used to open a file :D
 
well or >> if you want to append.
 
Bob
@allquixotic no cigar
fs.writeFileSync('dump.html', 'testing' + browser.document.innerHTML);
it dumps testing just fine
the document is conspicuously missing
 
3:03 PM
put it in a setTimeout? I mean... this stupid thing is once again not waiting long enough
 
Bob
@allquixotic but... but.... Sync !
 
zombie.js is like a kid who's so eager to get his ice cream cone that he snatches it out of your hand, and he grabs it so fast that the ice cream falls on the floor, and he cries
 
Bob
I'm really starting to hate the node async model
@allquixotic not zombie, it's node as a whole
 
!! s/zombie.js/node/
 
@allquixotic node is like a kid who's so eager to get his ice cream cone that he snatches it out of your hand, and he grabs it so fast that the ice cream falls on the floor, and he cries (source)

Bob
3:04 PM
@allquixotic you want to take another crack at it?
 
@Bob did you gist your progress?
 
Bob
just updated
pretty much stuck on line 37
need some way to get the iframe
 
i think i will ask on JS chat if any of them can tell us what we're doing wrong yell at us for being awful JS programmers
 
Bob
that's the one thing in my Awesomium driver that wasn't pure JS/DOM, I think
 
lemon will probably be like, THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT.
 
Bob
3:06 PM
lol
 
rlemon?
 
yeah
 
lol
 
Bob
@allquixotic well, their nodejs attempt stalled :P
though this does ruin the surprise :(
 
@Bob wonder if for the same reason :D
 
Bob
3:07 PM
@allquixotic I'm beginning to wonder if it's some same origin bs
well shit
it probably is
 
then why does it work in selenium :D
 
Bob
@allquixotic because Selenium provides methods outside the DOM
same with my Awesomium approach
I don't think it's possible to do from within the DOM
 
i think though you can access document of a child iframe can't you?
 
Bob
so we're gonna have to find some zombie way
@allquixotic not if it's on a different domain
same origin policy
 
ack
 
Bob
3:10 PM
assuming jsdom implements it
shit
@allquixotic looks like zombie might not even implement iframes?
oh wait it does
@allquixotic I might just go ask on the JS room :P
 
@Bob am there now.
 
Bob
@allquixotic gimme a min
trying some other ways
> browser.evaluate(expr) : Object

Evaluates a JavaScript expression in the context of the current window and returns the result. For example:

browser.evaluate("document.title");
so close
the Awesomium equivalent takes an xpath expression specifying a context
@allquixotic I think I'll go ahead and ask...
 
@Bob Please be wary of the journey. And don't forget to write me back when you reach safe! Take care.
 
@jokerdino >.<
lol is the JS room as hostile as the Comms room ?
 
3:26 PM
 
@Gowtham Let's just say they are remarkably passionate.
 
@Gowtham: the comms room isn't really hostile ;p
 
Bob
@Gowtham nope
> Please review the room pseudo-rules: rules.javascriptroom.com. Don't ask if you can ask or if anyone's around; just ask, and if anyone's free and interested they'll help.
 
you just gotta learn the room culture
 
Bob
they wrote the bot greeting we were using :P
heck, they wrote the bot we were using

@JourneymanGeek :P
@jokerdino lol
@Bob It has it's own domain name :O
 
rootaccessroom.com anyone?
 
Bob
@jokerdino rootaccess.us is available!
 
rootaccess is us
would actually make sense
 
Bob
3:33 PM
@allquixotic I'm on the verge of hacking into zombie and stripping out the SOP code
but I don't even know if the iframe exists :S

@jokerdino coincidentally it was a girl from my class who found that my hair line was a lot higher than everyone else ;p
@PatoSáinz Windows doesn't crash ...
unless you update the darn thing ;p
 
Bob
@allquixotic we've been ignored :P
 
@Gowtham ouch
 
@Bob hahahaha that would be hilarious
 
Bob
3:43 PM
@allquixotic there's something else wrong here
I'm getting null for getElementById in node/zombie
 
@Bob I guess our question is about as boring and basic to them as "how do I reformat my hard drive and install Windows 7?" in RA
 
Bob
but testing in jsfiddle at least gets the iframe element
 
@Bob yup, I get that too.
I highly doubt this guy is being truthful:
> Hi Sean -- they changed this stuff on my just yesterday and I haven't had a chance to get all of the docs to link them up.

Be VERY careful with StartSSL. What they don't tell you is that with their certificates when your cert expires, ALL of your signatures expire (even if you use a timestamp server).

I'll see if I can get ######## issued for you but if I can't, I'll get you the refund.
from "K Software" (Comodo reseller)
 
@Bob lol
@jokerdino :D
 
what are the chances that Comodo magically upped their requirements to require notarization the very day I submitted my order?
 
Bob
3:49 PM
@allquixotic well, they're being truthful about startssl's expiry
meh.
at least AFAIK
@allquixotic oh, about -50%

@Bob yes, but I don't care enough about that drawback to pay 3x as much for the same time period, and to jump through enormous hoops to get it
 
Like no one knows what I am talking about! ;(
 
Bob
@allquixotic aha!
I think I might have found our problem...
 
@Bob actually, you know what? O_O
the creation date on that document is in the future (or they're from Australia)

I wouldn't trust that document as far as I could throw it.
 
also, can't Word 2010 save directly to PDF? lol
 
Bob
And, being non-tangible, that's not very far.
@allquixotic 2007 can with a plugin from MS
 
@Bob paradoxically, it's from Comodo themselves, and Comodo is a verified CA with trust root authority, so what gives?
does this basically mean that our trust chain companies for SSL certs are basically a bunch of clueless slimeballs and they're storing all our private keys and certificate signing keys on a Windows XP computer on the Desktop?
