Throws barbell at @mfinni

mfinni

@Wesley Bastard.

Wesley

@mfinni C'mon, isn't that one of the official crossfit workouts? Juggle barbells while crab squatting or something?

mfinni

@Wesley Probably is. Overhead one-legged squats while standing on a kettlebell

Zoredache

@Magellan really? That doesn't sound right. Do you have a link to that issue. I think we actually use PDF forms here for some things. I may need to get ahead of this.

Wesley

mfinni

12:03 AM

@Wesley Dammit cat.

Wesley

Zoredache

@Wesley I wonder if he will follow the install directions next time that strongly suggests you screw it down or to a wall or something.

Wesley

@Zoredache One can only hope he doesn't so we have more gifs. =)

What kind of posture is that guy using. That's like reverse military press. Seems lame.

mfinni

@Wesley Dude could sell that dog and buy a bench

Magellan

You people and your goddamn animated gifs

Wesley

12:06 AM

@mfinni Bottle jacks as a rack. So ghetto. I love it. =)

@Magellan =D

Magellan

Makes this laptop run like shit because it's spending all its CPU rendering the GIFs.

freiheit

@Wesley Any bench press technique that looks like this girl's has gotta be right (no, really):

Wesley

Hey everyone! I found @TomOConnor

Magellan

@Zoredache Adobe Reader X used to allow me to 'Add Text' to my PDFs. That option disappeared from the Tools menu and all the Export and Create PDF now send you to a website where you can pay Adobe to do it via the web.

Ry Jones

@Magellan use another pdf editor

Wesley

12:08 AM

@freiheit What the...

Magellan

@RyJones Yes, but I need to get the NDA signed and emailed back for tomorrow interview and have obligations until 8pm tonight.

freiheit

@Wesley It's a tiny little 13 year old girl bench pressing more than you ever will. ;)

Magellan

Not like I needed another reason to hate Adobe, but hey, here's another.

Wesley

@freiheit I've never seen that posture.

Ry Jones

@Magellan they have a 30 day demo of Acrobat.

download it, use it, throw it away

or email it to me and I'll do it and email it back

freiheit

12:13 AM

@Wesley Because she's tiny and skinny and not wearing a baggy shirt, it's more extreme, but the arching thing seems to be what's recommended to maximize how much weight you can press.

@Wesley Here's an inclined version of Arnold using the same kind of arching posture: assets.schwarzenegger.com/uploads/images/index/cache/…

Wesley

@freiheit Yeah, that's an incline bench press. Activates your anterior delts more than a lying bench press.

I thought she was on a flat bench, not an incline bench

She had so little range of motion...

But she's the one pressing 240 pounds, not me...

Scott Pack

@ewwhite Was it NetApp that's been boring you out like a redneck ricer?

freiheit

@Wesley I think limiting range of motion by raising the chest helps win bench press contests. (she's a world champion in her age range)

Wesley

@freiheit Yeahhh, I'd like to learn more about that. My initial reaction is that it's a technically acceptable way to impress crowds, but not optimal for really building muscle. At least, the folks I run with are sticklers for getting a full ROM rep in for every exercise. But once more, she's the one with endorsements and benching more than I weigh, soo... =)

I haven't done a plain bench press in so long... I don't even know what I could do.

I do dumbbell bench presses and superset with flys and overhead pulldowns - so don't really know what my max would be.

Probably not impressive.

@mfinni on the other hand could probably bench press a fraternity house.

freiheit

@Wesley And, of course, it's not a video of her working out, it's a video of her competing...

Wesley

12:23 AM

@freiheit Right - like the "world record benchpresses in one minute" video I saw the other day. Dude was flailing like a flag in a hurricane.

But hey, he got into the Guinness Book so whatevs. He got his moment.

mfinni

@Wesley I'm still a few pounds shy of benching bodyweight, nothing to write home about.

Nathan C

upstairs neighbors...do you really feel the urge to bounce a damn ball?!

mfinni

Been doing more work with straight overhead motions - strict press, push press, jerk and split jerk

ewwhite

@scott what?

Michael Hampton

Another good question is why are you trying to use different IP addresses for HTTP and HTTPS. This isn't going to work. — Michael Hampton 37 secs ago

Magellan

12:30 AM

@RyJones Got FoxIT Reader installed. The PDF they sent me is a pure image. Nothing to fill out. Going to have to figure out something to scan my signature in. Oh well.

Ry Jones

@Magellan I could convert the image into a form by dropping text boxes onto it.

I hate it when people do that shit, too

like everyone has a flatbed scanner

I ended up screenshotting forms and forging a signature a lot

Magellan

@RyJones And it was fine while Adobe allowed filling out forms from Reader. I pretty damn sure that they know that most government forms are PDF now. Which is why proprietary formats for government services piss me off so much.

Michael Hampton

PDF isn't really a proprietary format, though?

> In 2008, Adobe published a Public Patent License to ISO 32000-1 granting royalty-free rights for all patents owned by Adobe that are necessary to make, use, sell and distribute PDF compliant implementations.

Wesley

12:47 AM

@mfinni So did that 12 year old out bench you? =P

GioMac

I've done some Open Data (governmental) research few months ago. And according to Open Knowledge Foundation documents/guides PDF was considered as closed format. Weird...

mfinni

@Wesley Correct

Wesley

@mfinni Well you did a widowmaker, so there's that.

mfinni

@Wesley Also got 5 reps in with 305 - could have kept going but i got light-headed and didn't want to wait for it to clear

Mark Henderson

Matt Bear

hey, can someone help me out understanding groups in Linux real quick?

Magellan

3:13 AM

@MattBear Uh, sure. They're pretty simple.

Matt Bear

@Magellan well, I have more specific questions about em

can they be nested?

Magellan

@MattBear No.

Matt Bear

eg. have one group a member of another?

Magellan

No.

Matt Bear

ok then

Magellan

3:14 AM

But you can have groups with multiple names that have the same GID and thereby get around the group length definition limit.

Wesley

@Magellan Pisses me off.

Matt Bear

and I can only have one group have permissions to a folder right?

Magellan

Last I checked, the limit is 1024 characters on a line.

Wesley

I am angreh kitteh!

Matt Bear

@Magellan what does that mean?

Magellan

3:15 AM

@MattBear yes. ACLs may get around that, but it's less widely supported than the 30+ groups concept.

So this is slice of a normal group file:

apache:x:48:
named:x:25:
dhcpd:x:177:

Matt Bear

@Magellan basically im trying to do some fine grained permissions windows style

Magellan

@MattBear Unix ACLs.

But they're not as good as Windows.

One of the few areas in which Windows beats the pants off Linux.

Matt Bear

group 1 has rwx to folder 1, group 2 has rwx to folder 2, group 3 has rwx to both

is my goal right now

but users in group 3 cant be members of 1 and 2, otherwise my ftp jail doesn't work correctly

Michael Hampton

ACLs ought to be sufficient for that.

Matt Bear

cause group 1 is jailed to folder 1, group 2 is jailed to folder 2, group 3 needs to be jailed to the folder containing folders 1 and 2

Magellan

3:19 AM

@MichaelHampton Agreed. That's not too bad. I've seen worse.

I've always worked in shops that used NFSv3 or didn't require multiple group access granularity, so I've never picked up much on ACLs.

Michael Hampton

@MDMarra There, I upvoted you. Now are you happy now?

As for SNI, I think IE on XP is the big one, and as far as I know, it's no longer considered to be capable of making fully secure connections.

Falcon Momot

@MichaelHampton 'tis.

though I think it might be only IE6 that is like that

Michael Hampton

@FalconMomot Nope, it's all versions of IE, since MS never updated CryptoAPI on XP.

Falcon Momot

oh, heh.

Michael Hampton

Doesn't matter. In a few months we can officially start telling anyone using XP to fuck off.

hmm, by 4 hours I mean 100 hours. yup, next week.

Falcon Momot

4:05 AM

oh, lovely, I just found another series of x87 instructions that aren't defined anywhere on the internet.

Michael Hampton

@Magellan In that case, perhaps she would like an even older one?

I'm sure we can find something on eBay that runs Windows 95.

An antique computer, if you will.

Magellan

@MichaelHampton No, that would take up too much room. We only have 1000 square feet. And frankly, the performance of the AspireOne blows the doors off her HP laptop with Vista that I use. It's newer than the AspireOne, but it's a real pig.

Twice the memory too

Michael Hampton

@Magellan Well...um... put 2008 R2 on it with a Technet key and workstationize it?

(And don't tell anyone that my Aspire One netbook is running 2012 R2..)

@MichaelHampton why would I want to install a server OS on a laptop? If it wasn't for the documents and stuff that she still has on it in the corners and crevices, I would've blown it out in favor of Ubuntu Desktop already.

Michael Hampton

Magellan

4:21 AM

@MichaelHampton Ah. I didn't know that. Is it still $250 for TechNet subscriptions? I had to hand all my credentials in when I left job[-3]

Michael Hampton

@Magellan Nope, Technet is done.

technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/ms772428.aspx

Wesley

@Magellan When you start your LLC, you can become a Microsoft OEM partner for just filling out a form, and then you can get into the MAP program for a few hundred a year. Better than TechNet because you get production licenses of many products, except no customer workloads / data can reside on those instances.

So there's still some production use to the licenses.

Technically TechNet licenses were evaluation / testing only with no production workloads or data allowed.
