What is our world coming to??

@AviD suddenly every nerd wants to have his site hosted at GoDaddy

AviD

10:18

@LucasKauffman probably the best marketing scheme evar.

they should announce a contest - one random customer gets to be in the next commercial kissing Bar.

new signups would go up 170000%.

Arduino

Proposed Q&A site for the Arduino board, hacking the boards, and the related software and hardware tools

Currently in definition.

@Polynomial Aye, good solution. Upvoted. :)

AviD

@ScottPack @Iszi @JeffFerland you guys have a big beerparty planned for tonight?

Scott Pack

16:07

@AviD Mm?

AviD

@ScottPack Superbowl, baby!!

Scott Pack

@AviD Is that tonight?

AviD

(it's tonight, isnt it?)

Scott Pack

/me shrugs

AviD

@ScottPack well arent you all manly and testosterony

Scott Pack

16:09

@AviD Wikipedia says that it's tonight.

My mom was a big football fan. I always found it boring.

AviD

@ScottPack Wikipedia is always right.

I used to enjoy it. Now just can't get emotionally involved enough to care.

Scott Pack

Ok guys. I got a great idea, let's take away what makes rugby awesome, and then stretch it out so that it takes 4 hours to get in 1 hour of play. Everybody happy? Great!

AviD

Or maybe I'm just too old to stay up that late.

will be 1:30AM here when it starts, I think...

@ScottPack heh, so you like rugby then?

Scott Pack

@AviD The few times I've been able to see it, yeah, it looked fun. It's at least more manly.

AviD

@ScottPack fewer rules, too.

Scott Pack

16:11

Sharp cleats, no pads, and you have to turn around to pass.

@AviD Most of which, as I recall, describe the size and shape of the pitch.

Sadaluk

Rugby's better than football, although the football I'm thinking of isn't the football you're thinking of.

Scott Pack

The board game "Oh Gnome You Don't" has more complicated rules.

AviD

heh

Sadaluk

Also, there's two sorts of rugby, union and league. League is like union except a bazillion times faster.

Scott Pack

@Sadaluk Even without the overloaded terminology, your statement still holds true.

So we got a little over an inch of snow yesterday. This morning, after breakfast and coffee, I went out to shovel the walk, driveway, and sidewalk. When I was nearly finished it started snowing again.

Assholes.

Rory McCune

16:19

@AviD did you see the college humour post about her fake kickstarter?

AviD

@RoryMcCune no? Surprised.

Rory McCune

@AviD actually it was funny or die (NSFW) funnyordie.com/videos/70f7ef3d34/…

AviD

ohh yeah, did see that

funny

Rory McCune

apparently for the go daddy ad it took 65 takes to get the kissing scene down, which must've upset the guy doing it greatly... ;op

Scott Pack

Sounds terrible.

Polynomial

16:50

Afternoon all :)

Scott Pack

Whatever.

Polynomial

You're clearly in a good mode.

Scott Pack

~\nGOD

Polynomial

Wouldn't that negate your existence?

Would kinda explain why you're so cranky all the time. All these nutters running around doing mean things to each other and blaming it on you.

Scott Pack

Maybe I should turn on notarget and noclip instead.

Polynomial

16:59

Isn't that enabled by default for most deities?

Well, noclip seems rather redundant at least, since you'd be everywhere at once. Who needs to go through walls when you're already on both sides of the wall?

Ah, the memes of religion. Omnipotence, omnipresence, and lots more things that start with "omni".

Scott Pack

Omnipresence can cause problems.

basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2010/1/10/…

Omnivore...

Oh. Happy Birthday.

Polynomial

Danke.

Scott Pack

You're now old enough to rent a car.

Polynomial

I've been old enough to rent a car for 4 years now. Yay for UK laws! :)

Scott Pack

Boo.

Polynomial

17:02

Though they do charge a premium for under 25s.

Scott Pack

Don't tell the wife. When we were over there she was 25 and I was 24. So she did all the driving.

Polynomial

Ah, for foreign drivers it is 25.

Scott Pack

Ah, ok

Polynomial

Not by law, but no insurance company will cover you.

Scott Pack

Sure.

Polynomial

17:04

My car insurance costs are actually ~35% lower today than they would have been yesterday. Pretty ridiculous.

Scott Pack

I'm also a boy, which makes insurance companies crazy.

Polynomial

Yes. You have a penis, therefore you will crash your car every day.

Scott Pack

Top Gear has actually taught me that is a truism.

Polynomial

Top Gear has taught me that if you drive a 4x4 and adhere to right-wing politics, you can probably get away with most things.

Unless animals are involved. Then you get in trouble.

Scott Pack

@Polynomial In the States, you mean?

Polynomial

17:06

No, in the UK.

Scott Pack

I do recommend against burning down a carwash, though.

Polynomial

In the USA all you have to do is be a mixed-race transgendered paraplegic. Then nobody can sue you or arrest you.

You can pull the race card, the gender card, the disability card, the sexuality card... you're untouchable!

Scott Pack

I don't think transgendered is a protected class.

Polynomial

Doesn't matter. No lawyer would want to be on the prosecution.

Scott Pack

Neither is sexual preference.

Protected class

Protected class is a term used in United States anti-discrimination law. The term describes characteristics or factors which cannot be targeted for discrimination and harassment. The following characteristics are considered "Protected Classes" and persons cannot be discriminated against based on these characteristics: * Race – Federal: Civil Rights Act of 1964 * Color – Federal: Civil Rights Act of 1964 * Religion – Federal: Civil Rights Act of 1964 * National origin – Federal: Civil Rights Act of 1964 * Age (40 and over) – Federal: [http://finduslaw.com/age_discrimination_in_employment_a...

Interesting. I can discriminate against you for being too young, but not too old.

Polynomial

17:10

Ok, so you just need to be a mixed-race pan-religionist multi-national citizen over the age of 40.

Scott Pack

Unless you're in the South, then that just makes you a target.

Iszi

17:48

@AviD Party, yes. Beer, no. AFAIK, my grandparents don't drink - for that matter, I'll probably be the only person in the house who does.

@ScottPack Can't say I've ever found football boring, but it never really caught on with me either. Superbowl Sunday is about the only day I really care about football. Family tradition.

Anyway, I've got to go get my Grandpa for the party. See y'all later.

And (for no well-informed reason): GO RAVENS!!!

Rory McCune

evenin' @Polynomial happy birthday :)

@Iszi indeed go $sports_team, I hope you defeat $opposing_team soundly

one of my cats has developed an unhealthy liking of tablet screens since he discovered "movies for cats" on youtube!

Scott Pack

18:19

@RoryMcCune Just wait until he resets your lockscreen pattern so that he's the only one tho can use it.

Rory McCune

that wouldn't entirely surprise me, I'll need to only let him watch the iPad 'cause the lock on that is keyboard based and his paws are a bit big for it...

Scott Pack

Never underestimate the ingenuity of cats. Have you ever looked them in the eyes, I mean really looked at them? Those fuckers are smarter than they let on.

Rory McCune

18:33

one of ours is v.smart always curious always into things, the other whilst cute, is a bit daft..

Scott Pack

18:44

Hey, @RoryMcCune, go be useful. security.stackexchange.com/review/community-eval

Rory McCune

19:09

good lord how many do I need to review before it'll go away?

scratch that found the answer..

Scott Pack

I felt like there was a big gap between satisfactory and unsatisfactory.

A 'Neutral' option would have been nice.

Rory McCune

19:28

I'd agree, there were some where I was like 'meh, but I wouldn't go as far as to call them unsatisfactory

Scott Pack

19:43

I had the same problem.

Copil Flavius

19:57

hy

are you there

?

Lucas Kauffman

20:57

@rory you guys use a thinkpad right? Behind the battery there is a small place for a card it seems, any idea what type of card

ah it seems to be for a simcard

Scott Pack

21:19

Yeah, most of them have a built in cellular nic, just needs a sim.

Rory McCune

@LucasKauffman indeed as @ScottPack says it'll be a SIM slot I'd guess. IIRC not all of them actually have the modem installed tho (depends on whether the mSATA slot is in use as a SSD or not)

Rory Alsop

22:04

@ScottPack you can skip...

@Poly - happy birthday to you!

AviD

@ScottPack @RoryMcCune that's because you're not setting your standards high enough.

If it's not excellent - it needs improvement. If it's not much better than anything else in the intarwebs - it is unsatisfactory. Our minimal aim is to be so much better than EVERYONE else.

@Iszi so, chips and guac?

Fat 'meriken.

happy bday to @Polynomial? Happy bday!

Thomas Pornin

22:34

@RoryAlsop I first clicked on skip so that I would see all the questions that the survey was using, and now it won't come back, so I cannot do my part.

Instead, I have decided to unearth some old questions and make satisfactory answers myself.

Lucas Kauffman

23:03

@AviD Quality in everything we do??

AviD

@LucasKauffman Extreme quality.

Lucas Kauffman

I looked into the nullcon ctf today

I really wonder if the challenge is intepreting the assignments or making them
