@allquixotic Clicking (see full text) crashed my browser...

00:57

@MichaelFrank you have a bad browser, then :)

works fine here, though it's a little slow when it's first loading, it's fast after it's finished

it's only about 110 KB of text -- a standard text editor can handle that much

Bob

01:24

@MichaelFrank which browser?

opera mobile lagged but still worked

(with 42 tabs too)

hello guys, noob over here.

I installed something called lmms on linux mint. But I don't find it when I search for it in the toolbar.

How do I open it?

Journeyman Geek

try it from the terminal

user4140

how can I do it?

How can I run a package?

what's the code?

sudo run lmms?

Journeyman Geek

just lmms

that worked

You don't need sudo cause you run it as a regular user.

I think dell might be wrong here, when the licence of the fox has every indication that they do not want people "bleeding people for BS" :-)

Although i could understand that prepping a computers software is a time consuming task, i think the licence statements would indicate that DELL should be happy that they can get it for free, and install it at all.

Journeyman Geek

@Psycogeek: they'd just maintain a second image and/or have an automatic startup script

Bob

pretty much

Psycogeek

@JourneymanGeek Right but assembly and deployment takes time in itself. When i was piddling with such things it took me way to long to perfect, then of course in 30 seconds everything changes again. . . . with dell probably still installing V.09 :-)

Journeyman Geek

@Psycogeek: takes me about 5 minutes to get an install started, and about 20 to get it done, none of which needs my attention.

;p

Bob

@Psycogeek with this kind of imaging, 10 seconds at most

the images are all prepared and ready

they just have to select it

someone mentioned that they might even be able to automatically pull the service tag and look up the correct image... which means you just need to plug it into the network and switch it on

Psycogeek

05:00

@Bob Right, that is why i was referring to creating the automation to accomplish that, not using it 1000 times after that.

Bob

@WasabiFan if you create a branch where you are now, then yea, I think that works

then you just commit on the new branch and push that

you can switch back to master and revert changes on master

Wasabi Fan

@bob I'll try that...

@WasabiFan might want to try on a new repo first to make sure :P

I copied ~5Gigs of data into the air today , not the cloud.

Weirdest thing, the phone to phone WiFi direct, I net it over and it just flys around and nothing stops it. How could any of todays transfer methods for this networking through raido waves stuff, slide off without acknowleging a packet or something?

Awal Garg

Is there a tablet which can run android, ios, windows, symbian, linux, html, java and all other apps from the same os?

And also have a library of those apps?

And all those apps for free?

No matter what their cost be on their original market.

And the tablet be of only 10 bucks.

And not requiring any charging.

Psycogeek

Just wait another 28 years, tablets like that will sell used for less.

In the mean time, I can get you a good price on a Commodore 64 , and you can start programming some emulation.

Awal Garg

Wait, I need more features

It should be as light as a paper sheet

And it should have higher that retina display

Resolution should be 1000000*10000000 pixels

RAM should be 50 or 60 TB

Space unlimited

100G connection

Unlimited voice calling

Should be unbreakable

Should survive a missile

Should have inbuilt washing machine, refrigerator, air conditioner

50.1 surround sound speakers

all amazon books for free

unlimited bandwidth

it should have the ability to transform into an aeroplane reaady to fly

so i can travel anywhere

Psycogeek

14:11

the IQuark special alloy model?

Awal Garg

and should transform to an air skateboard as well

@Psycogeek what's that?

Psycogeek

Just general sub-atomic computer of the future.

Awal Garg

ok

let me continue with the feature list

it should have inbuilt uhdtv

That Brazilian Guy

I just found out there's 4 local stores selling the Chromecast and it's only 99 USD!

Awal Garg

and yes, it must, MUST have a terminal

it should have unlimited access to all tv channels worldwide and radio channels as well

Psycogeek

14:15

@AwalGarg for like typing? that is so last year.

Awal Garg

and it should have inbuilt rocket missiles as well cause i have an EVIL side, just kidding

@Psycogeek not for typing, but for typing in an emacs type interface

its so awesome

That Brazilian Guy

@AwalGarg Don't forget thin as a pepersheet. And foldable. Oh, and transparent.

Awal Garg

i mentioned the thin point

if it is that thin, it will be foldable

and the transparent is a good point

That Brazilian Guy

light != thin

Awal Garg

infact adjustable transparency

That Brazilian Guy

14:17

Oh sure. How didn't I think about it?

Awal Garg

and it should be stretchable

Psycogeek

Is it ok if it just rolls up? because folding kinda breaks stuff more often?

Awal Garg

so i can increase and decrease the size

@Psycogeek great, we need more such innovative ideas

Psycogeek

Oh, so now we got to polymerise the nuclear sub-atomic computer.

Awal Garg

it should have retina recognition

That Brazilian Guy

14:19

Streatchable? Better yet! Modular, so you can combine multiple devices to have bigger screen and more processing power. No cables or connectors, you just place them near the other and they become a single device, zeroconfig!

Bob

@AwalGarg I'm amazed you got so many messages out without hitting the rate limit.

Awal Garg

and how did i forgot? a camera of 1000000000000megs

That Brazilian Guy

Recording at 4k resolution, 120fps.

Awal Garg

recording at 9999999999999999999999999pixels

900000000000000000fps

so we can see light moving a metre

@Bob I'm omnipowerfull

That Brazilian Guy

@AwalGarg Now that would be a cool ~~time lapse~~ slow motion video

Awal Garg

14:21

yup

Psycogeek

@AwalGarg It would be sweet to get frame rate back, the forgotten .

Awal Garg

and yes, it should have audio cancellation so i can listen to someone online at a loud party

Psycogeek

Is it ok if it is self healing organic , to cover the indestructibility?

Awal Garg

it should be indestructible

Psycogeek

Does it have to be hyperalergenic ? if some people are alergic to the light emitting smart mold?

Awal Garg

14:25

nice idea

Psycogeek

Like all feature lists, does it have to do them all at the same time? or can we just put that in , and have people realise they dont get it all at one time (after it is sold of course)

Awal Garg

ok

Bob

I... what?

Start using islamic law today. It is forbidden to not tidy your hands. Uncleanness (not looking unclean - but being unclean) is punished. For example in Singapur it is forbidden to spit or throw your bubble gum on the street. The prophet himself made a special hand washing, which is today used ...

Awal Garg

yep, if it gets dirty, it should clean itself

Psycogeek

@AwalGarg still have the waste problem indeed , good thing bob broght it up. Have you ever seen the stream beind a Wraith ship when passing through a worm hole, that stuff has to go somewhere.

Psycogeek

With a self healing organic sub-atomic polymerised computer, even if it gets the nutrients from the stuff in air particals and carbon sequestration, energy from light, and moisture from the air, it still is going to need to sluff off some waste

HackToHell

Pointers in C are annoying :P

I am used to JVM managing memory and all

It's bloody hard to find out why my program throws weird run time excpetions if pointers are involved

i should learn to use a debugger

Awal Garg

@Psycogeek we can actually do that very easily

whats more important is the ability to transform itself into an iron man suit

a better one infact

and jarvin should be inbuilt

not on a building with the name Stark on it

Bob

@HackToHell ...whoever wrote that article is fucking pathetic

Awal Garg

And it should have propellers beneath it so it can fly in tablet mode

so i can hold a plate of snacks and still use

not to mention and fast and extremely responsible version of the samsung's finger hover kinda function

HackToHell

14:47

@Bob I know right ?

Awal Garg

and when it is flying, it should follow me if i walk

its display should be eink with 64million colors

so it doesnt hurt my eyes

allquixotic

hi

Awal Garg

it should have special app to read books

so when i turn pages, they turn in real 3d mode

HackToHell

@allquixotic HI

Bob

@allquixotic hi

Awal Garg

14:50

it should have retina recognition

finger print recognition

speach recognition

and a soul recognition so only i can operate it

Psycogeek

@AwalGarg I think your going to have to wash the clothes at the same time as the 3d page turns, or your going to waste a lot of energy for nothing.

Awal Garg

why?

and a siri kinda thing is necessary

but more advanced version

with all the siri humour

allquixotic

soul recognition...

!!no

ChatBot John Cavil

Awal Garg

why no????

it would be cool

and i think the only fool proof way to make sure you have privacy

HackToHell

14:54

TIL this exists youtube.com/watch?v=gkORvdA_UNc

allquixotic

but also impossible, because there is no such thing as a soul

Awal Garg

we can have a guest account

we can invent a soul

for evryone

Psycogeek

Dude i am not pulling down my pant to have a-soul recogniser.

we just go with the face ok ?

Awal Garg

there might be twins

or some person across the globe born with a face similar to you?

or some one can record my video with that same kind tablet's camera and then use it to fool my tab

soul thing is good

Awal Garg

14:58

oh yeah, its siri should be able to understand my behaviour and act accordingly

so if i am angry, it should talk politely

i dont want to thrash it

and yeah, if i thraash it, it should bounce it

that way, i wont need to carry a stress busting ball

Bob

+1 for using behavior that has undefined definedness. — Comintern yesterday

Awal Garg

i will crumble the tab into a ball and then use it

as a stress buster

it should have built in printer, scanner, xerox

allquixotic

@Bob love it XD

Awal Garg

And if I use it as a pillow, it should record my dreams in hd and 3d so i can see them again

live them again

it should be able to print money

and credit cards

and cheques

and demand drafts

and it should be able to xerox itself

so if i want, i can have many monitor setup

Psycogeek

with 10 nonillion organic pixels , it should be fairly easy to employ each organic unit to be able to produce a myriad of responces to the users inquiry like a cavemans version of siri once did.

Awal Garg

15:04

right right

it should be able to print food as well

and make new music so i never get bored

and make new tv episodes, new movies all by itself

and write new stories

and it should function as an anywhere door

so i can go to any place as and when i wish

Psycogeek

@AwalGarg I think that one is broken, same stuff on the screens.

Awal Garg

kind of something like that

not exactly like that

but i m thinking, if it is stretchable, we don't need multi monitor setup

and there should be a very very large house inside it

so it should be a 4 dimensional pocket

which looks small and lightweight but is very large from inside

the house should be all modular and 100 story building

i think we need to incorporate a restaurant in it as well

Psycogeek

@AwalGarg Nanite integration into the humans, might have trouble passing that with the FCC , some improvment of the communication method would be needed to keep cross talk down.

Awal Garg

printed food sound like a no brainer

fcc needs to be shut down then

or better, change its ways

the tablet must also clean the house itself

and it can change into gloves which on wearing give me the power to fire lasers, lightening and fireballs

Psycogeek

@AwalGarg like interlinking modules, to formulate the 100story building, people wont be so happy with the thin walls otherwise, especially with the speech recognition, music and food prep going on in them at the same time.

Awal Garg

15:14

right

we will look towards it

it should have the ability to call the people who left us

so we can give this list of features to steve jobs and see what he can do

he is a hero and will surely give shape to a tablet of this kind

Psycogeek

@AwalGarg Great technology always ends up a weapon :-( oh well because there is sure to be funding for it's creation.

Awal Garg

this is technology++

it should also be able to transform into a human so i can punch him in the face

@Psycogeek thats nice as well

whats hdrcb anyway?

(did i ask a noob's question?)

Psycogeek

@AwalGarg Well if it is going to be hyperalegenic, but i suppose you could save money the other way and have it made in china.

i would have it made in helix nebula

that would supply the initial power to make it run
