@TerryChia again, even for me, I do use it almost exclusively on some of my VMs.

@TerryChia sure makes no sense on the desktop of a big monitor, but you can just boot to desktop...

Typical powerusers will use a OS that is pleasant to use, such as OS X.

#apple4lyf3

#butimnotgettinganiphone

@Simon powerusers dont use OSX, that's hipsters you're thinking of.

@AviD Have you been to an university recently? Everyone has a damn Mac which means it's the opposite of hipster.

You old people need to learn how to use youngster terms properly.

PROBABLY LOL

@Simon no, we use the term "hipster" ironically.

o

@RоryMcCune Still can't avoid it fully though. :(

as in "wannabe hipsters".

@TerryChia sure not 100% but really I don't notice it at all these days..

After using OS X for a week, I knew I'd never go back to Windows.

@RоryMcCune It has gotten a lot better in 8.1. I'm betting the horrible impression most people had was from 8.

@TerryChia indeed they're refining it as they go along, and next update will continue that...

Anyway, I'm very happy in Linux land so I'm unlikely to go back to WIndows any time soon. :P

@TerryChia Did you wipe OS X for Fedora?

It's alt-tab to change from browser to editor and F12 to open and close the terminal. I hardly notice the DE anymore.

@RoryAlsop Who? @Kailania?

@Simon No, I'm mostly using my desktop these days since I'm jobless and writing code from home.

Ah.

Again even on OS X I barely notice the DE. It's simply editor, browser and terminal.

@Simon ...wha?

@kalina I bet you'd love working on Logic.

I... er... am not talking about the electrical device I ordered the other day

go away

talk about linux

You bought a Mac?

you know what, I'd rather you thought I bought another vibrator because I keep burning them out than the truth

So, you are gonna use Logic

yay

Let's make a collab, here's my collaboration to the project:

@kalina whaaat? You bought a Mac???

Open up the Vintage electric piano, then select piano roll.

Macs suck! they're stupid! you're stupid! anyone who uses a Mac is stupid!

Hold C3 for 1/8.

@kalina As if that wasn't the truth ...

@AviD Now you sound like a spoiled kid. :P

@FEichinger do you realise how much use it would take to burn one out?

@AviD Have you used one?

no of course you don't

that's the end of this discussion

@Simon NO!

yes. but only because I had to.

@AviD Don't fucking tell me you didn't like your experience. You're just in denial.

@AviD No of course not, I have a far superior desktop to anything Apple make

@kalina You can't just win by saying "end of discussion"!

Wait, nevermind, you can ...

@FEichinger you obviously don't know me all that well

@Simon Like sitting in a comfy chair. Made out of pineapples.

I can end any discussion, and kill chat

no power in the 'verse can stop me

tbh @Simon the first thing I'm going to do is put windows 8.1 on it

@kalina Hence "nevermind".

but it's shiny

Except.... the power of THE MODS!!

@AviD you can't stop me, you know full well that kicking me will result in me never returning

@kalina You're using Cubase, not FL, right?

besides, you think I'm adorable and would never do anything to upset me

hence the stopping

@Simon Cubase

That is a form of stopping you ...

@kalina hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

deep breath hahahahaaaahahaaahaaaaaahhhahahahahaha

but I also have reason and FL and various other tools and toys installed

@kalina I think you are mistaking @AviD for @FEichinger.

@kalina Do you like FL's UI?

@TerryChia hardly

@Terry Oh come on!

@Simon It's... a UI

@kalina Yeah, it felt like that for me too.

Okok, shuddup about the OS debate already.

vim vs emacs. GO!

@TerryChia pico

@TerryChia subl

@TerryChia But first of all, let's define the term "go".

@Simon global offensive

@RоryMcCune ding ding ding We have a winner!

\o/

PHP or assembler

PHP

@kalina Assembly.

Said @FEichinger.

Chances are, @Simon, I know more languages than you'll ever be willing to try.

@TerryChia this statement registers 1 out of 10 on the "give a shit" scale

@FEichinger Sure, because I actually have other hobbies than CS stuff.

@FEichinger I don't think @Simon even knows PHP.

@FEichinger since he will only use PHP, and we don't consider that a real language, I find your statement to be a truism.

I know PHP

I know Kung Fu

show me

SHOW ME THE WORLD

I CAN SHOW YOU A PLACE

SHINING SHIMMERING SPLENDOR

@AviD so wish I could suspend a mod right now ;)

hahaha

you know you were thinking it

I was, but now I'm thinking it out loud

well, in my head

but with music

@AJHenderson You should suspend him for singing a beautiful love song? That's harsh.

instead of just the one line

@Simon "beautiful" does not apply

A WHOLE NEW WORLD

A NEW FANTASTIC POINT OF VIEW

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND OPEN YOUR MOUTH

Whoops, wrong version.

@Simon what, no.

dammn you made me larf

:o

@Simon made @AviD laugh

that and the yoloing

I conclude that @AviD is @Simon

TUNUNU

hehehe

I will prove to you otherwise.

#yolo

kicking your sockpuppet barely counts

even multiple times?

nope

yknow I'm worried that @Simon actually started enjoying me kicking him.

Masochism.

he scripted an autojoin

to counter my autokick?

okay I'm going back to work now.

that is not an invitation #simon

I wonder how I'm gonna get you guys to unban me if it happens.

@AviD Leave the script on a cron job.

I guess I'm gonna have to go on my alt account Tom Leek to let you know that I'm banned.

@Simon hahahahahahaha

wouldn't that be a turn up for the books, if Simon was the bear's other alter ego :-)

@RoryAlsop that would be genius

A genuine Fairy tale, indeed.

is @ThomasPornin's perfect intellect even capable of creating such a personification of stupidity?

@AviD So much for going back to work.

I CAN'T SPELL FOR SHIT

or maybe @Simon is just for when @ThomasPornin is drunk. And high.

I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far... I can't go back to where I used to be

NO MORE SINGING

Hahaha, I like how someone got my back.

@AviD of course, just like it takes someone who's a really good musician to sing completely out of key, the same would likely apply to intelligence

I don't actually have a voice of an angel

@kalina"voice of an angel" really?

More like a cat in a bag.. Literally

of course, I now realize that joke is far less funny for anyone who can't see what the message was

Drowning

IN MY SKIN

Cracked dissing Canada again. They calling Disney Social clubs " basically how gangs in Canada work".

@AviD Are you saying that isn't how gangs in Canada work?

> flying elephants and snow cones. They're very kid-friendly, accepting of all races, genders, and sexual orientations, and extremely respectful of other organizations. It's basically how gangs in Canada work. There aren't even any infringing on a rival's territory,

Stop right now, thank you very much... I need somebody with a human touch

@kalina You've taken it too far.

Hey you, always on the run, gotta slow it down baby gotta have some fun

room topic changed to The DMZ: The first breach costs you an arm.... [double-entendre] [food] [libations] [no-singing] [rory] [security]

@kalina shush or I'll start quoting Ivor Biggun Lyrics

So, yoloing is allowed but not singing?

How about I sing some yolo?

I CAN SHOW YOU THE YOLO

I CAN SHOW YOU THE DOOR

@AJHenderson nice

I CAN ENTER BACK IN THE ROOM THROUGH THE DOOR

@Simon should have changed that stupid lock

(damn it, now I'm doing it)

@RоryMcCune Or Kevin B****y Wilson

@RоryMcCune the problem here is that this reference is so old I don't get it

and thus can't fear it as you intended

Can we make an entry in the Meme thread for @AviD being the yolo lord?

@RoryAlsop Or Judge Dredd!

@RоryMcCune pfffffft

@Simon but he isn't. You are.

@RoryAlsop I'm not sure if I can handle the pressure of being the lord of all yoloers.

@RoryAlsop come on, anyone who uses the line "would you like to be filled with Dredd" can't be all bad

@RoryAlsop making Simon the lord of anything is terrifying

@AJHenderson true

^ potentially NSFW

@AJHenderson Especially when you think that I just choked on water.

@Simon try harder next time

to not choke I mean...

the only thing simon is a lord of is asses

Simon the asslord

@kalina simon would love to have an ass to be lord of.

heck if he was in prison he wouldnt even be the lord of his own arse.

@AviD no, that's not what I said at all

then be more unambiguous next time.

can one be "more" unambiguous? Isn't that an absolute measure?

"Less ambiguous" would be more appropriate, I believe

#yolo

@Simon hey - where'd he go? :-)

@AviD got schooled by @Simon

and then @AviD kicked him

this is not behaviour befitting of a moderator

3 kicks per yolo is pure abuse.

oh, let me fix that for you

is four an improvement?

well, your face is abusive to people who aren't blind

That's it, I'm calling the NSA. We'll bust your asses, mods.

and your voice is abusive to people who aren't deaf

@kalina how can you tell who does the kicking?

@RoryAlsop that's a secret

I can't tell you information like that

@kalina lol

you could be anybody

@RoryAlsop I bet I can tell too. The first 2 were Avid, 3rd was you and the final one was AJ.

sharing Stack Exchange's secrets with just anybody just sounds like trouble

@Simon nope - I still have never kicked you

(there's always a first time)

HOLY SHIT

not sure if I have actually kicked anyone. I have banned one once.

this coffee has like 2 or 3 sugars in it

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

@kalina is that good?

no

sounds like 2 or 3 too much

I don't add sugar to anything except cornflakes

I'm sweet enough

@kalina I don't add sugar to anything. That makes me...what?

Maaan, fuck Hamas!

@RoryAlsop well you're just old, probably don't even have your own teeth anymore

@RoryAlsop Interesting.

@Adnan what, you're getting the rockets now too?

@kalina all my own teeth, and I'm not even getting any more fillings. I do have to go back and get one replaced though. But I didn;t add sugar to anything as a kid either.

@RoryAlsop That would be Andrew I suppose?

@AviD Honestly, not for the act of firing the rockets itself. Fortunately, the Iron Dome is handling quite well. All these idiots are doing by firing rockets is revealing their positions only to be toasted by the IAF soon afterwards.

@Adnan in that context, this tweet from NYC...

@Adnan well, that's not all - they are doing a lot more self-damage too.

@AviD I'm more pissed at firing from the rooftop of schools and populated areas.

Now, when I see videos of them firing from olive fields I think "Oh, those are some well behaved terrorists".

@Adnan yes, that. Oh and that time they took out the power lines for 70,000 Gaza residents.

@Adnan hehe, "well behaved".

@AviD Well, actually, yeah. Firing from a hole in an oil field will get you spotted and killed... only you. To me, that's a win win.

@Adnan The reporting of this in the UK is entirely one sided: staggeringly anti-Israel, because of rockets killing children. The whole Hamas side is brushed under the carpet, along with the firing from schools and using children/civilians as human shields etc

@Adnan except, of course, if they manage to hit anything with their rocket.

"well behaved terrorists"

well behaved avids

well behaved aids

@AviD Which is why I'm happy to see the Iron Dome doing its job so fantastically.

om nom nom aids

@RoryAlsop that last bit is the most common cause of "rockets killing children".

@Simon wellbehavid

@RoryAlsop In Finland, it's a bit more unbiased.

@AviD yup

@RoryAlsop I like it.

in soviet russia, rocket shoot you

@Adnan I think we were less biased a few years back. Not sure what has changed politically

@Adnan oh yeah. Comparing to Desert Storm, the defense is so much better organized here.

also

English people

please explain to me what is happening to England

Yes?

It's getting old.

@FEichinger OI YOU ENGLISH M8?

@RoryAlsop Well.. hmm.. I guess media is more attracted to the death toll and numbers like that.

the amount of blatant racism from the english people I know has increased dramatically over the last month

@Simon Shut your pancake hole.

Always have to be rude, are you sure that you're not American?

No, I'm a Sussex man.

@kalina England was always racist. It's just more openly so now.

@kalina its more fun that way.

@AviD What pisses me off even more, (and I'm sure you already know this) for years years in Syria we were told that our situation is shit because we're the heart of the resistance and we're supporting the Palestinian cause (which I wholeheartedly support). However, all I saw throughout the years is neighboring (and non-neighboring) countries pushing rockets and rocket martial to Hamas so they can fire at Israel and get more Palestinian civilians killed in the process.

Fuck that

Seriously, fuck that.

I'm soo pissed right now.

@FEichinger bizarrely, except for a few die hard Scottish independence nutters, Scotland appears to be getting less racist/nationalist

@Adnan palestinians are Syria's sockpuppets.

@Rory I dare say these two might be related. What with the independence talk and all.

now everybody SSSSHHHH! I'm on the phone.

@AviD I disagree. The whole area is Iran and Russia's sockpuppets.

@AviD ping

@FEichinger ping
