yeah. so it needs to be linked to external index.

Which also means the file naming convention needs to be consistent because that's the only thing we really have to key off.

guid?

Who here has a young male kid so I can start bashing on what he should learn about evil women?

@AviD que?

Man, if you stop reading after "kid", I'm creepy as fuck.

@Simon You ARE creepy as fuck.

@TerryChia That's how I roll.

> I can't wait for the iPad 5 this week (I'll be ordering three), and my Surface Pro 2 should arrive this week too. Because it is a blazingly fast, modern Intel machine, I like to use the Surface Pro to predict where tablet performance ought to be for everyone in 2 to 3 years. I think of it as an iPad 7.

How many fucking tablets does Jeff own?

I will be a snowman by the end of the day.

yeah, looks cold.

Ah man, I do need a coffee from Tim.

Or even better, a hot chocolate with whipped cream so I can be all sexy while I'm drinking it.

I considered stopping at Tim's on the way home from taking M to school. I just came home and brewed coffee instead.

Why on earth would you do that?!?

@Simon I presume he wanted to drink coffee.

@ThomasPornin I'm so not going to shovel your driveway if you keep being mean.

@ThomasPornin seriously, that guy...

@AviD Hey, that's me on the picture.

That movie makes me sad.

fyi, found this great fb group - Meanwhile in Canada

@ScottPack So does @Simon's face.

just makes fun of dem caneedians.

Oh le Canaduh

wadafuk is that

@Simon HIMYM

o

Sorry (lol Canadian) but I can't click on your video because this melody is WAY too good:

@kalina Do you think I should get a pony avatar?

@Simon I think you should photoshop a pony taking a crap right onto the center of your electronic Simon. I think that would be apt.

You will die for this.

@TildalWave waddayathink, help a feller out? ^

@kalina It suddenly got creepy.

"suddenly"?

@AviD Don't you have an OS without a start button to code?

THAT NEVER HAPPENS. NEVER EVER.

@AviD Sorry, what?

@Simon You are shouty and rude. Are you sure you are Canadian?

I assume you are referring to the hot chick that is there, watching the mooses' arses (which are always there).

That wasn't very insulting.

@Iszi There was mention of Excel.

@Simon hehe, yup, always like that.

I know where I'm moving.

@Simon unlike @kalina, they would probably actually shoot you.

Nice.

Sometimes, when I picture myself with a lady, I try to make sure that her name would fit well in my life.

@Simon @kalina for example?

For example: "Kalina, go get me a beer" doesn't sound too bad but it's not the best.

Or "Kalina, I need a damn sandwich".

@Simon right, "Kalina, thanks for bringing the beer" sounds infinitely better.

"Sorry Kalina"

You're right, it does.

@Simon Don't forget it has to go well with your surname, too.

@Iszi My surname is Pitt.

Here, this is better. It has a Cutie Mark. i.imgur.com/LLKRA8j.png

@ScottPack You had better days, daddy.

you know my name isn't really Kalina right?

@kalina WHAT.

I know, it's Barbara.

@ScottPack interesting question, how do you know what a cutie mark is?

somebody lied on the internet.

@kalina Prove it. ;)

@Simon I think I overwhelmed Tenable support last night by explaining the code flow and how I was able to modify it to meet expected behavior.

@SCOTTPACK IS SECRETLY A BRONY: DATA ACCEPTED

@kalina Because I like to hang out in the Comms Room and there are some pretty non-secret bronies in there.

Stop messing with my @ScottPack, he's off-limit.

@TerryChia you know what, here is a brief moment of weakness on my part. I'm not going to confirm anything I'm about to tell you, I'm just leaking information to be momentarily courteous.

uFrench?

DENIED

@kalina Hehe. I don't really care either way. :)

please don't leave logs of that @Simon

chat is indexed by search engines

LOG, LOG EVERYTHING.

@kalina That's a lovely name.

regret is already starting

Alright, alright. It's gone.

No more QQs now.

I don't QQ

@Simon queueueue . queueueue

fire is not QQ'ing

@ScottPack Sonofabitch... what'd I miss?

You missed nothing

there was nothing to miss

also, portal quotes

Obviously, I missed something - there's two removed messages.

You are kidding me. Did you just stuff that Aperture Science thing-we-don't-know-what-it-does into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator?

lulz

Man, I think I just rude'd the fuck out of a co-worker.

claim it was just you being completely deadpan

He's always joking around, especially with me but I never find what he does/says funny.

the amount of times my rudeness/abruptness has been passed off as deadpan is unreal

He said "If you don't fix this you'll get fired" (he doesn't have any power to do it and he was joking)

I replied "And you're telling me that?"

He left about 5 seconds later.

I think I'm not Canadian.

you should say sorry

You should dance with me.

@kalina WITH THE LEMONS!

when I dance it's a completely hands off experience for everybody around me

@AviD LOL

Wow. Freefall is starting to get pretty relevant...

FLYING FREE, TENACIOUS LEE! headbangs

@Iszi snarf I see what they did there.

@ScottPack If we'd work together and you'd tell me jokes, I'd laugh.

@Simon even if he simply said "Simon" ?

@Simon I suspect I'm a bit of a yukster at work.

because that's a joke, in context

@Iszi heh, didn't notice that

What's with the string of shitty questions lately?

@kalina No, because he's a funny guy and I'd laugh at everything he says.

@ScottPack Oh, really? Awww :(

Oh wait I did

@ScottPack But we could have fun during lunch time at least, right?

I think they've done it before though, refer to current events in the comics.

@Simon I... er... what?

@TerryChia every SE site goes through phases like that

@kalina I just admit that I'm gay, that's all.

You can either do what SO does and ignore them until it's too big of a problem to ever fix, or do what Arqade does and be complete asshats about it and remove loads of legit content that is below average quality

@Simon I do rather take a sideways and sarcstic view of most work events.

@kalina We get them monthly it seems.

@ManishEarth The only problem is that by the time they get to the punchline months have passed.

hah

@TerryChia you also have a site about a field that isn't going to be understood by most people who arrive here

that tends to have an impact on quality

@kalina I go for the "educate and turf" method. Try to get them to fix their question via commenting. If it doesn't work, turf the question via close vote.

@ManishEarth I mean, that comic's been running for years and they've only hit what...2 days in the story?

@Polynomial close votes isn't turfing

everybody knows delete votes are the only way to fly

@ScottPack haha

heh

yeah, veeery slow

@kalina combustible lemons work better.

@ScottPack That's interesting, considering it's the only webcomic I follow (not that I follow a whole lot these days) that's been able to stay 100% on-schedule for as long as I can remember.

@Polynomial fire > *

@kalina you can burn houses down with these lemons, therefore they are fire.

@Iszi Which comic is this?

the problem is, commenting on a post by a user with 1 rep telling them that you'll set them on fire for posting crap doesn't come across as very friendly

@Iszi Oh, the release schedule is definitely highly accurate. Just so very slow.

@kalina Fire is always friendly!

@ScottPack As opposed to VG Cats. One comic per year!

@kalina Did you mean to say fire is better than anything (which is what you said), or fire makes anything better (which would be something like fire+x>x)?

@Polynomial Don't follow it. Sounds terrible.

@AviD Technically they are elks (also known as wapiti), not moose.

don't talk to me in formulas

it results in unexpected errors

@ScottPack 3x/week is slow?

@ScottPack VG Cats is pretty funny, it's just ridiculously unpredictable in terms of how frequently a comic will come out.

@kalina You started it.

@Iszi they're talking about the "in world" speed

@Iszi The story is exceptionally slow, yes.

@Adnan Manual addition. It's pretty easy to tell who the top few reviewers are, and I added the reviews in each queue up for a half a dozen or so users.

@ScottPack Oh, yeah. I get that the story is slow, but I thought we were talking about the release pace.

ctrl+alt+delete was alright until they started up talking about miscarriages in a web comic

@Iszi Keep up. Less beer.

and then I never read it again

@ScottPack WTF? Since when is "less beer" a good suggestion?

@Iszi always, alcohol is bad for you

@Iszi Since it's 10am and it's clearly impacting your ability to follow the conversation.

(Speaking of, I really should go get one. I am working at home today, after all.)

We love and respect you, @Iszi, but I think we need to talk.

when I work from home I start the day by packing the bowl

@ScottPack Nice! Yeah, it's good stuff.

because waking and baking is the only way to live

@ScottPack Intervention time?

@ScottPack No, your mom is impacting my ability to follow the conversation!

@Xander A local pizza place has it on tap.

@ScottPack Wow, that's unusual, and awesome.

@Xander Good pizza too.

@Iszi Man, that can be interpreted in two ways! Nice!

@ScottPack I read "punchline" as "poutine".

If anything's affecting anything today, it's the government shutdown affecting my ability to give a damn. Sure, it's over now. But it's kinda like daddy just hit mommy at the dinner table or something.

</offtopic vent>

@ScottPack Even better.

ventrilo is always off topic on a site about information security

@TerryChia Instructions unclear. Drank all the booze instead.

@Polynomial BAD POLYNOMIAL IS BAD!

@TerryChia Please tell me you got the Dual Core reference.

@Polynomial Nope. I'm very bad at references.

;)

Go listen to Hack All The Things by Dual Core.

We drink all the booze / hack all the things / drink all the booze / hack all the things drink all the booze / hack all the things / got this vodka and this red bull they still give me wings, cos we drink all the booze / hack all the things / drink all the booze / hack all the things / drink all the booze / hack all the things / zero through three we're in every single ring.

@Polynomial Hah! Nice.

"I'm just waitin' 'till my Blackberry dies, 'cos I'll replace it with a Raspberry Pi, don't compare to this track we make everything they said dull, neutralise any threat from Redskull to /dev/null"

what a tune

favourite verse: "They kill virus writers that we mention, but instead they ascended to the VX heaven, and re-incarnate as live wires, to hide behind ciphers and signed device drivers. Which score will we hit next? They didn't learn the format, so we gotta printf - next step is a chin check, freestyles that I spit best, they didn't decrypt yet. I crush internet MCs in rhyme battles, get yo WiFi tackled by Hak5 Pineapple"

ahhh dear, nerdcore is awesome

even metalheads like me can appreciate it :P

@Iszi oh, is it over?

@AviD Yeah, as of Thursday last week.

yay.

...at least until 2014-01-15.

oh btw @Xander. Just wanted to let you know - I took your advice and finally got thr panamian coffee. Glad I listened to you - incredible.

@AviD Yeah? Excellent!

possibly my new favorite. just... creamy, chocolatey, with a hint of spice - fantastic.

I owe you a cup.

@AviD Sounds awesome, what coffee is that?

@Iszi hang on, I'll pull up the details...

@Iszi auracoffee.co.il/single-origin-coffees/central-american-coffees/…

@AviD Very good. I'm look you up if I'm ever in your neck of the woods to collect.

@Xander heh

:-)

@Iszi I know they make all the coffees sound so good, but it really is like that.

Google Analytics is so awesome.

@AviD Is it just me, or is that site ridiculously Web 1.0? I mean, it's just missing "punch the monkey" and a bit of blinking/scrolling text!

@Iszi oh absolutely. but as they said, does it matter?

If I've done my maths right, that's over $16/pound?

@Iszi probably, stuff aint cheap here.

how much pound to a kilo?

@Iszi Holy sheet.

@AviD 2.2lb == 1kg

@AviD Roughly 2.206

@AviD 2.2 roughly

@AviD It's about half.

heh

Nerds.

@AviD lmgtfy.com/?q=1+lb+to+kg

lol, I actually DID know that.

I use google for all of my unit conversions

Who doesn't?

@ScottPack Does it do MPH to Furlongs/Fortnight?

yes

@AviD Go put this in google. "500 GB / 45 MBps in hours"

yessir

@ScottPack Prove it.

google.com/…

@ScottPack okay, now what?

@ScottPack why did you turn the safe search off? :O

@TildalWave Why would I turn it on?

@ScottPack I mean you've added it to the link

@TildalWave He probably just copied his link

@AviD Oh nothing, I was just demonstrating a complex but not burdensome unit conversion. That'll tell you how long it will take to transmit 500GB if your throughput is 45MBps.

@TildalWave What @DavidFreitag said, I just copied the link.

He would have to be a super nerd if he can construct google search URL's in his head..

and I thought I have proof of you putting some effort into something

snort

SALARY RAISE BITCHES

@Simon Get you another canadian penny per hour didya?

@Simon Sometime in the next month or so we should be getting a 1% raise that's retroactive to July 1.

@Simon Congratulations, and don't spend it all in one place.

@Simon does it half match inflation at least?

@ScottPack Yay for backpay!

I've gotten $1 + 4% raise per year since i started working. Hopefully i get a big raise this year :|

@DavidFreitag What I wouldn't give for that kind of raise.

@ScottPack Yes, but i make $14.10 an hour.

@DavidFreitag In my experience, the most surefire way to get a "big raise" (sometimes, any raise at all) is to change jobs.

When I started the norm was 3% per year. There were 2 years with no raise, and normally it's been 1-2%.

Lulz, it's a 17.64% salary raise.

@Iszi Once i get my associates I'm going to ask for a decent raise. Probably to $20 an hour.

@ScottPack Really? I thought the norm was 5%/year. Though around here it's been 2.5% lately, and none expected this year.

@Iszi Well, 3% was the norm here.

@DavidFreitag That's what I'm getting paid.

I've had jobs where raises were a non-existant fiction for several consecutive years.

@Simon nice

In fact in some of the raise was negative.

Bummer

@DavidFreitag Psh. You don't need no stinkin' degree for that sort of pay. Helps, but not at all mandatory.

@AviD +1

Now, as an independant, I can give myself a raise whenever I want. I just have to get my clients to agree to it.

@AviD Yeah, we had 2 years of that, but thankfully inflation was allegedly also zero for those years so it was supposedly a wash.

(or work more efficiently...)

@Iszi Yeah i know, but at least it's a bargaining chip.

@DavidFreitag What kind of job?

@ScottPack Heh... "alledgedly" and "supposedly" being important adverbs there?

@CodesInChaos I do engineering, software, hardware. I design PC boards and write a lot of embedded software. Along with that i am pretty much the go-to guy for local server admin

@Iszi Based on my experience buying things the market indices they use to determine the inflation rate are rather flaws.

Funny how that dude was joking around about me getting fired and then I got a salary raise 15 minutes later.

@Simon somehow i don't think that was a coincidence.

@DavidFreitag That class of job around here would probably be closer to 26/hr.

@ScottPack I know, it's well established that i am getting shafted big time.

@DavidFreitag I'd bet that it was.

But you have to remember, this same company is paying every last cent of my tuition. It's the only thing keeping me for telling them i need a raise

I wouldn't ask for one if I were you.

I will once i get a degree, and then once i get my bachelors. But by then I'll probably be working elsewhere

@DavidFreitag Great thing about working for a university, they also pay tuition.

Make sure they don't hear that.

I'm looking forwarding to finishing my MS, but I have no illusions that it will affect my pay.

@Simon When i started working here the owner of the company told me himself that he didn't want to see me working here in ten years

@DavidFreitag Wow.

@Simon I got a job when i was still in high school.

The idea is that this place is a hole in the ground and will ruin me. Everyone here told me i have way too much potential to get stuck here for the rest of my life.

@DavidFreitag which kind?

@DavidFreitag Always nice to hear.

@ManishEarth What do you mean?

ask @Adnan, he'll tell you

I think i blew everyone's expectations out of the water. They hired me doing menial things like building cables and pulling parts. Now i'm on the engineering team.

I'm making $450 a freaking month. And that's in SGD. I hate internships. :(

ouch

Ouchy ouch.

After all my bills i make about 700 a month.

@ManishEarth Yeah, that didn't clear up any of the confusion.

@TerryChia That, in USD, was what I was bringing home as a student employee.

this is depressing. You're actually making me feel good about my income.

heh

I didn't make anything during my internship

I did work as a window cleaner

@LucasKauffman You were wiping the computers and installed Linux on them? Nice!

that paid quite well (about 1700 euro a month during the summer)

@Simon that would have been the cool window cleaner :p

:D

I just realized there are kids playing hockey on the back of our 5$ bills. CANADUH.

@Simon Which series? According to Wikipedia, the current 5 CAD note has an astronaut and the Canadarm.

It says 2010 on the bill.

I also just realized our bills are billingual. Haha, stupid rest of the Canada, you have to carry our shitty language.

@Simon So your raise came in the form of a crisp new five dollar bill?

@Xander He probably needs to return the change to his boss.

@Xander Hehe. Left-over moneyz from lunch.

@Xander No, that would be a crisp, three-year-old five dollar bill.

I throw away bills that are older than 4 years old, anyway.

Said no one ever.

Has anybody here tried to use an USB WiFi dongle with an Android tablet ?

@TerryChia Do you think I can pick up a girl in a club by smelling her hair and telling her how good it smells?

@TerryChia :(

@ThomasPornin My tablet doesn't have a USB port, so I'd have trouble with that.

@ThomasPornin Yes, grab a USB Micro-B to Female USB-A and it works just fine. I haven't used the Android OS with one though.

@ThomasPornin pwnieexpress.com/products/pwnpad

A bit too slow for my taste but that'd be a decent warm-up.

Yes It's quite slow, but i like it.

You should check out the rest of that album, its pretty good

Hardwell is a really good producer.

@Simon Also very slow... Especially the start, but it picks up eventually.
