@JourneymanGeek that's too many :P
(I find the indian number system quaint ;p)
@JourneymanGeek the first time I heard "lakh": me and 3 coworkers were hovering over my PC teaching me how to do mainframe stuff, and I started running a slow query on the mainframe (green screen emulator on Windows 7), and the result counter kept going up and up and up (query params way too broad), and one of them goes, "wow! lakhs!" and I thought they said "lots" but with a weird accent
but the meaning was the same, whether they said "lots" or "lakhs"... in retrospect though it was DEFINITELY "lakhs"
;p
a hundred thousand it a lot ;p
(I can never remember what a crore is. 100 million?)
well he said that right about when the query hit 106,000 (it was counting up by several thousand per second)
(on an aside, since the wipe, and the move to a LUA, nothing has gone wrong with the shared system, whoot)
00:27
LUA?
limited user account
I have an admin account with no password, but it makes it impossible to 'accidentally' install stuff
well, nearly, but for it to be totally impossible, I'd have to have a password on the main account too
to make it totally impossible, you'd have to run GNU/Hurd :D
;p
I wouldn't have legitimate software either

Q: High pitched whine coming from the GPU/PSU?

user318428P.S I'm only 12 years old, and I am getting really nervous about this... This problem only happened today, and it has been getting really annoying. SPECS: Intel Core i3-3210 @ 3.2GHz 4GB x 2 RAM AMD Radeon R7 200 Series Now, Whenever I play games at a supposedly uncapped FPS, My GPU/PSU (I th...

^ dipstick puts age up, is this a test :-)
@allquixotic Speaking of which.... I found a modern browser that runs on os/2
Also amasing clarity and formatting for a 12 year old isnt it? the selective italicising of the age statement, all the proper formatting , the use of the word "rig". Either this kid was born out of a 5.25 Bay, or someone is lying.
01:30
weird... I can click and drag over text to select, but not object-like elements, like links and tabs....
01:42
I find the rules "Subscriber certifies to Stack Exchange that Subscriber is an individual (i.e., not a corporate entity) at least 13 years of age. No one under the age of 13 may provide any personal information to or on Stack Exchange (including, for example, a name, address, telephone number or email address)."
So (if that even changed) they no longer say no to <13, but just keep with the US net policy of not getting any personal information from.
02:02
Alright, I keep screwing up a RJ-45 to modular connection. The RJ45 side is correct using the B standing (OwO,GwB,BwG,BRwB) but I can't get the modular connection to work.. I tried that scheme, tried it backwards, tried the B one on the plug.... and I still can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?
I've never done it before =p
what's a modular connection?
*connector
that's an RJ11 though, I have RJ45s
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek it's a fan. probably. or a cap.
02:09
(I think the picture is an RJ11 anyways)
I think the colors are just if you're going from a patch panel to a wall jack
02:46
ohhhh
so cat 5 to a 8p8?
in theory as long as both sides are consistant and you did it correctly it should be fine
03:03
Whoa. It's been forever seen I've been here. :P
Hi guys - I still have the problem in superuser.com/questions/686738/… Can anyone give me some directions? Or at least say what browsing facebook, posting no forums and uploading images have in common from the network perspective
ig, are you there?
@galmeida Would you be able to restore the wireless router to factory defaults?
I'm not sure what the problem could be
yes, I can do that
I would say try that and then see if it makes a difference. Default settings should work. If not, then you can troubleshoot from there.
Then maybe you can try to have Ubuntu automatically configure your network again? ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1129799
it has ;p
hmm. so you can get but not put / post ?
thats wierd
03:13
@JourneymanGeek Would you mind testing something for me? I just launched a personal project -- a free domain whois lookup tool that does whois look ups the "right" way: gwhois.org
looks good/correct/awesome to me ;p
and very clean
thanks. I made it as a result of being frustrated from not being able to find an easy to use domain whois tool that does live and authoritative lookups
cached whois data = bad
:)
yup
and easier than SSHing into one of my boxen to do it ;p
yup.
so, feel free to bookmark. Next, I am working on adding support for IP address lookups.
It did not work
Strangely, I can post here.
03:23
this is using.. erm... websockets?
I'm just guessing here
someone told me about a website where I can scan my system so that it tells me what Ram I can install and how much ram my computer can handle and stuff, anything come to mind? I can remember the name of the site
03:36
@Malachi I use crucial.com
@iglvzx yes that is the one... thank you
No problem :)
that is a bummer I can only have up to 32 Gb
@galmeida isnt that question rather old?
@Malachi: most systems only hold that much ;p
unless you're running a workstation/server of some flavour
03:42
don't some of them go up to 64?
would it benefit me much?
and 32 is a lot
to go up to even 32?
I have 16, and thats overkill ;p
03:42
I am at 8 currently
and I have 2 on my video card
8 is enough unless you do heavy virtualisation
I'm using less than 4 on mine, but the massive amount of caching is probably nice
Anonymous
@Bob it had a good price:value ratio :)
Apparently moto's releasing a even lower end moto
should be interesting ;p
04:01
@Psycogeek yes, but, as said, I still have the problem
@galmeida If you promise to not abandon it, and answer what the problem is when fixed, i will put bounty on it.
Raise your right hand :-) and repeat after me "i will get to it someday" :-)
@Psycogeek I promise o/ I will get to it someday
oh wait, thats my left hand \o
04:35
Thanks @Psycogeek

@Bob Morning. How are you with WordPress CMS? In the process of building your blog currently?
Bob
Bob
...what?
@JourneymanGeek That cable actually worked, so I redid it 10 times for nothing. Apparently those connectors will show as bad on a cable tester although they're not
lol
cable testers probably check for ideal conditions.
You probably should do a data transfer test to be sure.
Well it showed the 1st pair as good and the other 3 as bad
I plugged in to my laptop and it browsed the internet just fine
naw, actual speed tests. You only need 2 pairs for 10/100
05:20
I may tomorrow..
isnt that an interesting user name superuser.com/users/318443/fuck
also I dropped one of the routers and I think it died
but I'm redoing the network anyways
routers usually are all solid state and ought not to die like that
05:25
well it might work, I'm not sure why it stopped working, nothing changed
The people I work for use MikroTik, so I got their routers.. they're kinda powerful for how cheap they are, and really customizable
ahh
they're x86, and may have hard drives IIRC
mikrotik?
Only if you want it, they make normal equipment too
My network is a mismash of consumer gear
05:26
3 of those, a 2011 switch/router, and a PoE switch
Asus router, WRT54G, and a Aztek homeplug switch, and a aztech and a tplink homeplug adaptor.
The whole network at the house I'm doing will have MikroTik on all 4 floors =p excellent coverage for once
lol
my apartment has a deadzone
also figging massive signal contention
they fight?
too many routers in the area
05:29
ah
what about an odd frequency?
so I use homeplug and ethernet for desktops and local laptops
all in use.
5ghz would be nice, but I have to do fairly major upgrades for that
I almost went with a powerline network..
works reasonably once I moved one adaptor...
it was getting interference off the washing machine
I chose not to do 5Ghz due to the plaster walls, etc
apparently 5 has trouble with barriers
yeah, that MIGHT be a good thing for me
05:31
and they're not really doing anything like high def streaming
I'm not averse to multiple routers.
Try a MikroTik! =p
really, two of the 951s would probably do you. I had one on the second floor lobby of the house and I loaded imgur in like 3 seconds from the road 50 feet away
maybe when I get a job ;p
05:33
2 of them = 150 bucks =p
first time I've actually set up a network though.. it would be a lot easier if the guys who were supposed to do it the first time didn't half ass it
I'd need to order them, most likely XD
any idea where to get buy a laptop internal speaker?
probably.. there aren't very many dealers in the US, but they're growing in popularity
@vzhen: its probably model specific
@JourneymanGeek how about if i want to replace with a better quality speaker? maybe different model?
05:38
you generally can't
without a dremmel :-)
and a lot of design work if you want to do it right.
@JourneymanGeek it is ok with the design work. can suggest me where to get those speaker? it is really hard to search
not really sure, they're pretty smaller standard units
measure the size and look up the shape of the current one and google it?
Its a very bad idea though
You're better off with a decent pair of external speakers.
@vzhen one large online component store is in.mouser.com/_/?Keyword=spkr&FS=True , the other is digikey , both very hard to search, both very technical.
05:49
I really wanna finish setting up that network..
> Disputed low quality review (auto)
Controversial review: more delete votes than 'looks good'
review task
new mod flag
watch out review bans.
more to come
@JourneymanGeek Do you think having 5GHz router sets me in advantage from others using 2.5GHz to achieve better signal strength and quality?
@Boris_yo: its shorter range, but that means there's less interference.
Its good in some situations
@JourneymanGeek Like for a flat with 3-3.5 rooms?
yeah, and there's a lot of APs in the area.
06:00
Will most of the 5G wirless drop back to 2.4 before failing completly? Or does a person have to make sure they buy into the ones that do?
they're seperate APs
POWERLINE NETWORK
naw
wish i could just turn all the power wires in the house into the antennas themselves.
thats roughly what powerline networking does
06:17
why they dont make JMG mod then (why) he could just have that gone :-)
lol
Gee, why not!
5 minutes , they are going to think they can spam the place if they live that long.
gone
06:42
I have an obsession, an obsession with the dark, I keep my flashlight near me, the guns help but the darkness surrounds me. I keep finding coffee thermoses, it never dawned on me to drink coffee, so why am i collecting them? My name is Alan Wake, and i would like to know what the Heck the thermoses are for ? :_0
07:31
Is anybody aware of anyone mass-flagging comments that contain the words "Super User"?
>_>
wouldn't those be under a username?
Not comment flags
Bob
Bob
@slhck That's broken.
Bob
Bob
Solution: automate "mark invalid" for any comment flag containing "Super User".
07:37
lol
@Bob Comment flags have never shown flaggers' names. Probably because not that relevant.
solution: send ninjas.
or mini snauzers.
Bob
Bob
@slhck How is the flagger not relevant?
Opens up exactly this kind of abuse.
@Bob: comments are second class citizens
@Bob Well, only in the case of flag abuse. Otherwise a sort of double-blind review wouldn't be that bad.
Bob
Bob
07:38
@JourneymanGeek This has nothing to do with how important comments are.
This is an issue with the flagging system.
On the other hand… if I know user A always has good flags I'll probably clear their flags faster.
>_>
I know that quite well ;p
Bob
Bob
Heh.
If @JourneymanGeek flagged your own question, you'd probably close it :P
lol
I can't flag to close ;p
I probably have a shitton of spam flags though
lots of spam today
Go: http://superuser.com/search?tab=newest&q=url%3a*repair*
wtf
Anyway, I have to go to IKEA now. Pray for me to get home safe :P
07:48
Spammers working on the weekend, what is the world comming to. We will have to unionise them, that'll fix it.
Bob
Bob
@slhck Don't get lost!
After we unionise them, we will get them to the big protest on wages, which is held on the freeway, under the banner "Honk If you love Spam, Drive faster if you dont"
Then we will tell the Teamsters that there are scabs on the freeway trying to take thier jobs
damn, I'm really wishing I was a mod today. So much spam ;p
ya, flagged that
08:15
How stupid people can be on Amazon? They rate a highly rated product 1-star just because some 3rd party Amazon seller scammed them.
One does not simply rate best-selling product 1-star without using brain

Mogges on this beautiful sunny Saturday morn
/me starts with weekend with a canon. Not that good
Canon, alarm clock not loud enough?
@Psycogeek How come there are -10 votes and only 6 views? Shouldn't #views >= #votes ?
I do not know, views on this site are more "unique" views, possibly using IP ? 2 users at the same IP could vote but not registr as a Unique view?

Q: Upgrade version of Android

Wala RamouniI have Android 2.3.4 version installed on my device ( Samsung Galaxy mini GT-S5570) . Can I upgrade the version of Android to be Android4.2.

@slhck ^ please kick that back to SO.
fucking idiots.
09:02
"GOD damned" superuser.com/questions/746272/… Damn is still PG13 right? if i edit and leave in the exasperation, and remove the excessive offence?
Assuming there was a God, i doubt he had anything to do with Windows :-)
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek There's not much point halfway-sanitising it.
Bob
Bob
If you're going to edit, remove both or remove neither.
Probably better to just remove the ranting parts/rephrase it to nicely ask :\
I swear, people who migrate wrong stuff too often should have their migration rights revoked and be sent to bed without dinner.
Could be that the time guy could run-as Admin, whatever time changer is in win8 , and get it to change?
Bob
Bob
09:10
@Psycogeek I'm trying to get him/her to confirm they're actually on an admin account.
unless he is re-syncking each time
Bob
Bob
Wouldn't be the first time someone stuffed that up.
> gives me and error specifying I need to be admin
indicative of not actually being an admin
superuser.com/review/reopen#reopen/… <--- users blocks thier ISP , and then wonders why they can no longer download. Like WHat???
Wonder if he knew what the ISP letters stand for :-) if that would help
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek It is a bit weird.
On (A)DSL with a NAT router, you should not ever see an outgoing (or incoming) destination where the remote IP is one of your ISP's machines, unless you're actively using one of their services.
The remote IPs should be the actual server you want to connect to (e.g. Google), which would be automatically (and transparently, as far as connection viewing tools are concerned) routed through your local gateway and then through your ISP, typically with PPPoE if you're on DSL in Australia.
grrr.
ducking spammers. May they forever be losing their socks.
Bob
Bob
09:23
@JourneymanGeek autocorrect? :P
Or manual censoring?
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Thanks, I needed more spam flags :D
I wonder if I can hit 2K before the elections ;p
*3K
maaaybenot
maybe 2.2-2.5 ;p
I haven't crossed 2k.
09:26
I did a while back, and forgot ;p
@Bob well that makes more sence than he did. on cable My own IP was already provided by the ISP, i always concidered it thiers to begin with. It might be my address, but i niehter can assign it, nor change it.
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek Without NAT, you might see your gateway IP (which would be provided by your ISP).
But even then you should not be seeing any connections to that address.
@Bob Ok, no connection defined with an endpoint of, but i know everything must go through it. I wouldnt think to block the Path with firewalling, i should try some day.
Our ISP 2 times now tried to get thier slimey software all over my computer. And if one remembers back to NetZero (when free) it had to stay shoveling adds in to function as a connection.
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek With NAT routing, it wouldn't matter if you blocked the ISP gateway with a firewall on your computer.
Even then, to be able to go web browsing but not download anything? That screams PEBKAC to me.
From a networking view, web browsing and file download over HTTP is identical, except file download requires the browser to be able to write to disk.
@Psycogeek ISP software? o.O
For some reason that makes me think of dialup.
09:38
Cable, it would configure, and hang around, and change your homepage to the ISP, and leave an icon.
I actually had Dial-Up for free with net-zero for some time. Blocked the ads :-) gee wonder why they quit doing it for free.
09:56
Yea if the ISP is conected "direct" to his computer as a constant, what would it be connected to , what software?
""By direct connection I mean a TCP connection from Windows Explorer process "" makes perfect sence to connect to the file browser :-) If MS had kept the explorer from any aspect of external connection, that couldnt even happen.
At one time or another in the MS systems the internet exploder and the file explorer were fully 2 seperate entities, with no visual or percieved notion that IE could change files, or explorer could go on the web. The first day i pasted a web address into the file explorer and it went to the site i was like " What have you done".
Later when the brilliant idea to have programs be directally downloaded from "the Web" and run on the computer , blind to the user what happened , i was more like "well that is the end of that" :-)
Then they start a lawsuit against microsoft to force them to allow removal of the Intenet explorer , opening up to competition (all the other web browsers). 2 years later MS even further integrated the browser directally into the system, so they could claim (legally) that it could no longer be removed.
They provided a removal though, of the Icon :-) to finish. thats what you get for playing legal games with MS.
10:35
Speaking of virus superuser.com/questions/746295/… chances are very good this guy has one of the funner ones. Should i bring flowers and a box of candy to tell him :-)
@JourneymanGeek Socks 4 or 5?
@Psycogeek I don't pay YouTube subscription and forced to watch ads which is fair but TV cable subscription? Not only we pay TV cable subscription but are also forced to watch ads? Where's fairness here?
@Boris_yo If you pay enough, there are channels that do not have actual ads on them? Hbo, Starz, cinemax? or did they doubble up on those too? Netflix?
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek Explorer itself? Nah. More likely a shell extension.
They run under the explorer process.
@Psycogeek Windows Explorer does not serve as a web browser.
If you give it a HTTP URL, it'll launch whatever the HTTP protocol handler is (ShellExecuteEx, actually).
Normally, this is your browser.
I think Windows Explorer might have had the capability to render HTML back in Win98, but I can't really remember. Certainly not the case now.
People watched tv for ages with some ads, it did not get really bad until the programs were ~22min 1/2hour and ~46min for hour program.. and now 20min and 42 min, making the programming 1/3rd ads. Far from a few minutes to go to the bathroom and get a drink.
@Bob right it was not the web browser, it would just respond to a web link. Visually it was mind boggling. Ya dont put your pigs in the silo.
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek I remember IE could browse the local filesystem.
I'm not sure, but I don't think I remember WE doing the opposite.
10:51
@Bob Or just "use the same window" , I dont remember all of it, and i expected much more problems from activeX further proving that 98% of people are good :-)
that a minefeild only has a few mines here and there, nothing stopping you from walking through . . . the right path.
@Boris_yo Different perspective: I pay about $50 a month to be connected to the web, but I get TV for Free with an antenna. So why should I pay to watch YouTube ads? Weird thing is i do not get YouTube ads, and i have no idea why, i have a array of blockers, but I have only seen one "Wait for your video" ad, and 2 that were part of the video itself (skip).
If i ever find out how my setup magically bypasses YouTube ads, I dont know if i would reveal how it works, because they would change it as soon as people figure it out.
do you have abp installed?
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek Some lists on adblock can do that.
EasyList is one of those
11:07
I have hosts lists. and a browser that has had blocking from like 2006, but none of the popular add blocks. Eventually i will have firefox and no-script stuff.
Also those hosts list providers are always leaving off google things, because they have google ads, or they are being paid to leave them off. I put a few google items back.
I turned off all the blocking on the landlords computer, and he is like "to hell with this". I look at that and say "no way is anyone browsing the web like that".
11:32
@Bob that's a pretty long article and I don't have a lot of time right now (heading out the door in a sec) -- what's changing about Aus education?
is your edu going to rise in cost as rapidly as ours, now? :)
Bob
Bob
@allquixotic Unis charging more (fewer restrictions), 10% loan interest (one-time)
Proposed, anyway.
also, Kerbal Space Program gives you the most awesome dreams. apparently, Jews give prayer by launching fuel tanks into orbit so probes/ships can dock with them, while Christians launch their ships or probes with external fuel tanks already attached, and burn them with liquid engines.
I know that makes NO SENSE but I spent like half the night dreaming about it
Bob
Bob
They say they, uh, want to "follow the US model" "without the downsides"
@Bob sounds like they'll be following the US model with all the lovely downsides :P
lol kerbal dreams
11:36
the career mode of KSP is super challenging... I had to work pretty hard to design a rocket that had enough thrust to get off the ground with two command modules... why did I need two? because I broke off the engine from the command module that I landed on the Mun, and I needed to land a second craft on the Mun with enough empty spaces to get my kerbals home
so I threw 2 kerbals in one module and 1 kerbal in the next, and built a several stage rocket, and I just couldn't get enough thrust for hours and hours.... launch, oh crap we're coming back down, revert to VAB, repeat
finally got something but it's extremely unstable... ended up putting 5 liquid engines on girders on the bottom of the second command module... the liquid engines are more fuel efficient, they don't overheat or use up all the fuel before i get into orbit
whole damn rocket wobbles like a rubber ducky when i up the thrust so i have to be very careful about the G forces I put on it, but it's in orbit
gonna be tough to land it but I think it's possible
You have to use the reverse gravity inversion engine, it redirects the forces of gravity into a beam, with little energy requirement. If you include the friction recycler you can recover most of that energy .
Oh wait, you humans do not have that yet, nevermind.
or kerbal
well I already have a few cheat mods, but I set them as requiring higher technology in the tech tree... my command module mod generates electricity, liquid fuel and monopropellant, which is pretty OP and not realistic as it is, but it generates them relatively slowly
it DOES make it possible to use liquid engines (which aren't overheating) to get into orbit easier than would otherwise be possible because the fuel can be generated during the flight instead of having to be carried along from launch
bbiab

Bob
11:56
@allquixotic exactly
@allquixotic damn it, you make me want to start KSP
is it a particularly resource-intensive game? (I've been looking for something to play on my laptop)
12:25
@Bob It needs a good CPU and tons of RAM
Apparently It's single threaded ._.
It doesn't use the GPU :'(
@allquixotic Wasn't there some command plugin that made designing stuff lot simpler
12:58
Hi all , i want to make the same thing programaticaly like color mixture in photoshop , like when you put the red curve up it increase the red and when you put it down it increase the cyan , and same like for green and blue , what i need to do to program it as i already make the RGB scroll bar but how i can handle the both in the image at the same time using opencv and how i can get their values
Bob
Bob
13:23
@HackToHell Oh, that's fine then.
@Bob it does use the GPU, but most of its resource-intensiveness stems from the physics engine, which uses a lot of CPU
if you have >= 4GB of RAM and a Sandy/Ivy/Haswell CPU, as long as your GPU is decent it should run fine
Bob
Bob
@allquixotic My laptop has a basic AMD mobile GPU, and an Ivy i7 mobile CPU. I hope that's enough for the basics.
the engine does not scale well to extremely large (as in, lots of different parts) ships. the FPS will tank eventually -- not due to the GPU though
Bob
Bob
It's usually the GPU that struggles.
I don't think I've seen anything seriously stress the CPU.
well, on my i7-3770K and Radeon HD7970, a 10-15 part ship will run at 60 FPS solid on max detail graphics, but if I build like a 200 part ship, I'll get about 10 FPS consistently
in task manager the reason is clear: CPU utilization
note that struts do count as "parts" and dramatically hurt the frame rate if you add a lot of them.... but sometimes with really huge rockets the only way to make them stable is to use a ton of struts, so it's complicated
Bob
Bob
13:27
@allquixotic single core perf is a decent percentage (75%) of your desktop Ivy: cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=1480&cmp[]=2
@Bob did you buy KSP yet? if not I'm gonna buy a copy for you on Steam and gift it to you for no reason
Bob
Bob
@allquixotic I've got one or two. Thanks for the offer, though.
one or two what?
Bob
Bob
Hm, just one.
one what? :P
Bob
Bob
13:28
@allquixotic Steam sale => buy as gift.
Sometimes, I buy two if it's good and cheap.
so you already have a copy of KSP?
Bob
Bob
Ya.
ah, cool
Bob
Bob
I got kinda scared of all the talk of spreadsheets :P
Someone, somewhere, has written a VBA script for KSP.
I don't use spreadsheets
I fly by intuition and by using the map... the map helps a lot (built-in guidance assistance) but it doesn't help a lot with landing
Bob
Bob
13:30
I think it was @Hennes who did.
@allquixotic That's probably how I'll go.
recently I successfully landed my command module on the Mun (Kerbin's moon), but the impact was just a little too high -- about 14 m/s -- and it shattered the liquid engine, which promptly blew up
fortunately the stress wasn't enough to blow up the command module or the fuel tank
so I was able to get my kerbals out and do some science
but they can't leave until I rescue them
and the game doesn't have an oxygen limit system, so they can technically remain there forever (unless they add that as a feature later)
