@njallam o.O

@Bob been there since long. Just drop the URL of the Stack Exchange site.

@Sathya :\
learn something every day
@Bob wut :(
ah :P
@njallam: I quite honestly think its crap. And SO has a tendancy of migrating... anything anywhere
@JourneymanGeek Well it does ask for support using a web application.
09:08
quality man
is it worth moving?
@JourneymanGeek questions that are already migrated shouldn't be migrated again
just close and reject migration
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek enough voting users
@slhck: thats what I mean
I think it is worth sending over and if they don't like it, it can be deleted.
kill it, KEEEL. it.
but the fact that it was even punted over here annoys me ;p
09:10
> When a question is migrated to your site and it doesn't belong, please close it to reject the migration. Do not migrate it again to another site.
@JourneymanGeek yea
(in)official policy
@slhck: there really needs to be a migrate queue ;)
@JourneymanGeek well, we have the /tools, but no one ever uses them :P
09:11
I do!
done
Bob
Bob
@slhck how many can?
gah, just having a cranky moment
@Bob Around 50, but most of them don't actively moderate
Had to deal with a uniquely dodgy DVD mom bought off a street vendor at the airport
Bob
Bob
09:14
@JourneymanGeek By deal with it, do you mean chuck in a microwave?
if only
apparently it runs on one DVD player and not the other
Smash it with a hammer?
lol
get it to play
Ah.. Scratch that!
(pun intended)
lol

Hello everybody
hello @Innuendo
Hi slhck
hi @Sant14, what's up?
did you check th e update to the Question superuser.com/questions/482455/…
09:35
@Sant14 What about it?
i found out @ Chromium Developer Zone that the Chrome is crashing infrequently in win 8
the formatting is quite bad ...
sorry
@JourneymanGeek … apart from that :P
Desktop appliciations are unable to launch my browser in Windows 8,this is the question
09:36
sigh
New gold badge \o/
@Sant14 Fair enough, but … what do you want from us?
In hindsight, Publicist is most likely the gold badge that requires the least effort
nothing as such just wanted to pass it as a message.. :-)
@OliverSalzburg: once you work out that ... you need to use the damned share link ;p
09:39
@JourneymanGeek Indeed ;D
@Sant14 Oh I see. I thought you'd need help or something. By the way, please check the formatting of your post. I've edited it a little so it becomes more readable.
If you put ------- below a line, it'll turn the text above to a headline, which looks weird.
Thanks slhck for replying..
@slhck: let me know once you're done editing ;)
@JourneymanGeek I am
@Sant14: and use the spellcheck man. Most decent browsers have that
09:41
@JourneymanGeek I don't think there was a spelling mistake, actually
aaah
edit-riot
Done...
@Sant14: might also want to add links to the specific websites/pages you're talking about
yes i will do that..
Haha. Don't you love it when you ask people two things and they only answer one? :P @JourneymanGeek
09:47
actually in this case its not too bad
man I'm so sleepy
@Sathya me too
struggling to keep my eyes open
another hour till I leave work
(leaving early today)
and reduced presence this weekend
@slhck: Sata is the same in both cases. Pata.. thats where things are confusing
ok, this is the most WIERDASS case I have ever seen superuser.com/questions/498261/…

I apparently got the 1K views tile...
/me has no idea how
look at all your questions

Q: Why does Windows 8 Upgrade assistant insist on downloading the upgrade from scratch when I quit it rather than resume the download?

SathyaI'm downloading the Windows 8 upgrade via the Windows 8 Upgrade assistant. I assumed the Upgrade assistant would resume the download when I quit it - however that doesn't seem to be the case. If I quit it and then start, it starts the download from scratch. Why so? Is it possible to resume the d...

this is the closest to 1k tile for me.
lol
@MatthewWong: I know which one.

@JourneymanGeek image...loading...line...by...line
I mean how as in why it got all that traffic
Bob
Bob
it's not even that big o.O
@Bob: the PSU is basically in front of the case, under the hard drives, wires going up
09:56
@JourneymanGeek its too bad i don't have any questions about windows 7
*8
@JourneymanGeek popular question, I guess
@MatthewWong: I wasn't even going for that tile, its too much effort
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek :(
@Sathya: ya
Bob

I crossposted a question with a link to MS Answers a while back, anf it's gotten 4k views since... but I didn't use the right link
09:58
@Bob: oh that one is using the refer link
different story
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek huh?
wish I could show analytics in here
Oct 29 recorded the highest number of answers ever posted on Super User
@Bob: I got the 1K views tile, not the 50 clicks tile
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Oh, I was talking about badges.
This was a Win7 question from a few months ago :P
page views have more or less remained the same. Contest's definitely forcing people to post
10:01
@Sathya: more questions means more answers.
and well, it WAS an excuse to use windows 8 a month or two before I was actually planning to
true
about 50% more close votes cast during the contest time frame
as compared to regular
I guess most of them for dupes :P
yeah
well, I'd say lots of new users/lurkers
not so bad if they were familiar with SE before, but.. on occation
it'd be fun to analyse the data
10:04
GRIMLOCK SMASH!
god. this is how you write documentation on how you use software samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html
:E
Came into the office to find one of our fibre links was down... Diagnostic (30 mins later of testing) is 2 of the 4 cores on a cable 8 years old have died overnight :(
get back to my desk an hour and a half later (everything back operational) and first thing i do is knock my coffee over my keyboard...
it's gonna be 1 of those days!
lol
had one yesterday
I'm actually productive today <3
Oh i had one yesterday too, but on a different scale
today seems to be IT hardware probs
yesterday was stock problems
and my job is IT Support and Stock Control lol
And just typical it's the week my manager is away
I'm about 50% done fixing yesterdays disasters
Oh i'm yet to catchup from wednesday lol
Thankfully not disasters :)
10:16
Ok. I know now what additional support you get once you become a paying Google customer
hm?
Response within 1-2 business days => Response within 5 business days
Interesting observation: I have 2 questions on SF which neither has had any answers... And both have EXACTLY the same number of page views?!
Then you get the knowledgebase reiterated to you and, if that doesn't help, you're directed at the bug tracker
"I have a problem, Google Drive doesn't start" "Ok, try to perform Selective Sync!" "How do I do that?" "First, open the Options menu..." "Well, I can't start Google Drive, so there's no Options menu." "Oh... Well then, can you open the Preferences then?"
10:19
@OliverSalzburg Lololol gotta love first line support
@OliverSalzburg Say you're unhappy and want to speak to a supervisor to lodge a complaint... When put through just use them for your problem and don't lodge one. Usually works 50% of the time, ALL THE TIME!
@HaydnWVN :D
Well, this was an email. I just made it into a conversation for entertainment value
@OliverSalzburg Still worth putting on reddit ;)
Hehehe
It just makes me sick that my ticket was basically "Google Drive exits instantly after being started. Reinstallation had no effect"
And the response is: "Try to change some settings IN the program or try a reinstallation"
You really can't make it any clearer that you don't care/understand
Which OS do you have, windows 95 or 98?
I have FreeBSD.
10:23
Which version is that, 95 or 98?
None!
a few minutes later.... Can look look at the CD and read me if it is labeled 95 or 98
Sadly, real life 1st line support.
What I should have done is answered windows 97
The best part about the story though... I was instructed to post a log with my bug ticket. But I can't get the log because, well, Drive doesn't start
So you can start it in "Analytics Mode"
And, guess what
It works fine in Analytics Mode :P
@OliverSalzburg Maybe a 'reset to defaults' in analytics mode?
@HaydnWVN I'm syncing all my stuff first right now before troubleshooting further :D

10:34
@OliverSalzburg shibboleet.
whoops
@JourneymanGeek You're missing a couple of Win8 tiles, award and earned bounties aswell as shared links... They sound easy? :P
@avirk almost has the full set now
the downside to using one provider for phone and internet: if they have a failure, nothing works :(
@OliverSalzburg Just a blog post needed
@DanielBeck But at least a 'one stop, one call' for support?
What could I tell them they don't already know?
10:48
@DanielBeck That it's important they fix it asap!
Right. Youtube via mobile phone access point is simply intolerable!
@DanielBeck mobile version of youtube or full? How's it on 3/4G?
@HaydnWVN: can't find anything I want to award a bounty for
and I'm not really gonna go poketile
techreport.com/news/23834/… this is getting interesting
11:03
@HaydnWVN I'm here because I'm using my mobile phone as modem.
So, full.
@DanielBeck I can relate ;P Especially nice if you have to call their support from your cellphone and pay 50cents/min
Bob
Bob
@DanielBeck uhm... now I'm worried :P
@DanielBeck: this is why splitting phone companies within a family is a good idea ;p
11:52
VMware vCenter converter = very slow :(
@HaydnWVN: the forensics software we use in school also does conversions
donno if its any faster though, and it does it from a regular DD image to vmdk
Finally I beat the message "Loading please wait" :D
@JourneymanGeek what if OP get the 100 upvotes for CW post? Will he get the gold?
donno actually
12:10
:(
I really don't worry about these things ;p
@JourneymanGeek i was just curious :P
@avirk: might help to say what badge, then go look see if anyone got it for a CWed question
possible tho, a lot of 'popular' questions end up OT
I guess so, I just got a great answer badge for a CWed question
@JourneymanGeek which one?
ooh nvm
did this become CW due to the amount of answers?
@JourneymanGeek Then its clear now :)
Why in the name of god does chrome use two different profiles for desktop and metro styled stuff !
@HackToHell its called Metro :P
@HackToHell: No one's really sure how to handle metro browsers yet ;)
And Win 8 is radically boring :P
@slhck: CW or not, its one of my favourite questions for the answers
12:26
@JourneymanGeek yup, pretty interesting stuff

Q: how can i enable fingert print HP 4540s?

user169654i have a laptop HP 4540s and installed all drivers , software security but not work finger print my laptop in win8 ? thanks. "sorry for my english"

> "sorry for my english"
:D
There you go guys for Win 8 challenge :P
@slhck he apologies then its not good to laugh at him :D
@avirk No, I meant the double quotes, "sorry", like if he didn't actually mean it. I don't know if that is a common gesture, but if you put your fingers up and imitate double quotes, you're pretending you mean something
@slhck aha, make sense :)
@JourneymanGeek vote up on question and you will have one more gold :P

A: What is the Charms Bar?

avirkThe Charm Bar extremely new feature in Windows 8, you can access it through anywhere no matter if you are in desktop UI or Modern UI. You will see two boxes on the screen. A small box just above the taskbar on the left. It displays the current date and time along with the battery and connectivit...

@avirk: rigght
12:33
I got a downvote on that and still has only 10 votes while my answer is well explained.
the question was already upvoted actually
@JourneymanGeek heheheheheh then find other good question and vote them up :P
@slhck I forget the star war now :)
12:36
@JourneymanGeek I'm using vCenter to convert from an Acronis TrueImage (.tib) to something else usable (ideally eventually .vhd)
This reminds me of helldesk work:

Q: How to recover data from software RAID 5 disk partition

Ali nI have CentOS 5.8 on my computer, with 5x 1TB hard drives. I used software RAID. (RAID 1 as a boot partition md0, RAID 0 as a root partition md1 and RAID 5 as /home partition md3). Unfortunately one of these hard drives failed lately and I want to replace it with a new one. I want to know that...

Could you post this output.
several questions later and a probably completely changed mdadm.conf later
Halp halp, it still does not work.
@TomWijsman Whaaa
First part of it, seems Modern UI eventually didn't made it and it sounds like this might be the final name. Let's just wait a bit longer (or do some research) and change the tag once it's definitive.
They should have done the only sensible thing
Buy Metro :P
Are apps paused in the memory even after a Ctrl+F4 ?
@avirk Your +1 there was from me :P
13:07
Who bought 8 here ?
32 bit processes are stuttering in a 64 bit environment
How much performance loss will there be ?
@HackToHell Not me... Although i'm considering it while its a cheap upgrade even if i don't use it
Yeah 40$ is a steal
Eur 0 is even less
Why buy it when win7 will do just fine?
Besides I can put to use my old XP license, let's see
@Hennes It helps to use an OS if you have to support it, even if you don't like it
13:10
Luckily I do not have to support it. And if I do need to support it in the future I will ask for a legal copy.
I did try it BTW. I found it extremely frustrating and uninutuative (sp?)
Mind you, when win7 came out I kept using XP, but tested win7 in a VM
That worked fine.
Now I tried win8 in a vm. Got extremely frustrated. Tried it several days.
I still want to run away.
How do I set the boot flag without formatting the device ?
@Bob How does that affect it ?
@HackToHell fdisk!
13:25
Magnets! :)
Or cosmic rays and butterflies :)
But yes, fdisk is/was the easy answer.
@HackToHell fdisk is the easy option but for more settings and config any partition manager should be able to do it, my favourite (for everything) is gparted
I've even turned to it for data migration, data recovery and wiping old drives
so many tools within the normal gparted setup you can do almost anything
@HaydnWVN thanks for the +1
13:57

lol ooops nearly gave you my server pass :P
