Actually, I shall call lust for flags flust ;)
I shudder at a question that starts with "Firstly, strangely quickly..."
 
Thats what SHE said.

Hmm when the hell did I get the booster badge? o.O
 
izx
@jokerdino Doesn't matter, you hit a badge century ;)
 
hehe yeah xD
i am now trying to improve my flag weight.
hopefully, my flag weight is in the top 10 at the moment.
 
izx
@jokerdino How do you find flag weights/rankings?
 
1:18 PM
flag count / flag weight.
@izx SEDE query I think. i am just guessing that mine is in the top 10
considering not many people have marshal badge.
 
izx
@jokerdino Yes, that's a crazy effing achievement... you're one flecherous guy :P
 
:P
 
jrg
This network is so soft, my little brother would be able to get in.
 
Time to go on a downgoating spree now. Good bye abandoned questions!
 
izx
"and my little brother is Kevin Mitnick" :P
 
jrg
1:25 PM
LOL
 
btw, why does merged questions come up in a closed:0 search?!
 
jrg
Because merging != closing.
links so I can close them.
 
jrg
done
 
i'll probably dig in a couple later on.
 
jrg
1:27 PM
I think you can flag them.
 
oh nice :D
looks like close votes work there.
 
izx
There needs to be a popup for newbie answers: Are you really sure this is an answer and not just the same problem?
 
you think there already isn't?
 
izx
If there is, make it an additional CAPCHA then, not just a checkbox....
 
jrg
@izx i hate capchas.
 
izx
1:36 PM
I see jrg's Nigerian-made Exponentially-expensive Programming Services are getting attention....
 
izx
@jrg Well, I think it could be a necessary evil for say, the very first two or three answers maybe...
 
jrg
@izx Perhaps, but I don't like being treated like a suspected robot.
And neither do most other humans I'd guess.

A: How does Stack Overflow attempt to prevent low-quality questions and answers?

Jeff AtwoodWe already do this for answers. We now have some basic heuristics in place to check for the short answer, and the short “thank you” answer. If the answer is by a new user and matches enough of the heuristics, we provide automatic guidance — as originally suggested on meta by...

 
izx
@jrg Yes, a great alternative (though audio version is similar).
@jokerdino AU does all the same things? (presumably)
 
1:40 PM
yeah
 
izx
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity"
We can't beat the latter, let's keep up the flust then... ;)
@jrg Hmm, the only time I still see these on AU is when submitting answers whose drafts have been cooking for a while in a tab....which is weird....
 
jrg
@izx shrug
the system is weird. I get CAPCHAs all the time, particularly on meta.
 
i don't usually get captchas.
i don't remember getting that many anyway.
identified a bunch of questions that might use some downvotes.

izx
One really wonders how Ubuntu can hang "several times a minute"...only @lostintime can seriously claim to have such a problem... :P
 
jrg
1:50 PM
Hyperbolic much?
 
hangs while hanging perhaps?
brb supper time.
 
izx
@jokerdino You know what that would cause if true ..... SO ;)
 
jrg
my system is so hung, it hangs while trying to hang.

dude. I heard you like hanging so i handed in your hangs!
 
izx
My system was so hung up on hanging, I said let it go hang!
Well, we almost started a "Yo system so hung..." chain... :)
 
jrg
1:57 PM
My system so hung, I didn't see this until after it was over!
 
izx
@jrg LOL!
 
Damn
my numlock key is blinking for no specific reason
fixed
Hello all
 
izx
That was your system trying to tell you it hung while hanging...
 
BBL
 
jrg
they are a little late to the party.
yawn I've been using that for months.
 
oops sorry
 
jrg
I'm just giving LifeHacker a hard time. :P
not you, i mean its a cool tool.
 
LOL
 
jrg
2:22 PM
@AmithKK sorry, XMPP is now on the fritz here, thats why I left.
 
@jrg NP :D
@jrg Why don't you setup a VPN socket for just certain apps ? :D
 
jrg
@AmithKK because I'm lazy. :P
 
lol what was that hangception when I went off for supper?
 
we were just hanging around.
 
I heard you like hanging, so we made a hang in a hanging hang so that you can hang while your hanging your hang.
 
jrg

13 hours ago, by jrg
@izx Dear Sir: I will help you with your application. My hourly rates are $50, and they go up by a factor of 10 every 47 hours. Please email me at smart-nigerian-spammer@mwahaha.com
Is this true?
 
jrg
@AmithKK yes. I'm a very expensive programmer.
 
I can't seem to find my MS Office 2003 CD
 
Microsoft is dropping extended support for Office 2003 shortly.
 
Yeah, but our syllabus is not.
 
2:36 PM
lol
 
That's like learning how to use Windows 3.1 :P
 
Ok, I need Microsoft Access
I guess if I don't get it. I will have to temporarily pirate it.
 
I uhm... I'm not sure why anyone would ever need Microsoft Access, but...
 
btw I forgot to thank you last night @GeorgeEdison. Thanks for dpaste-ing that answer.
 
izx
How do you "temporarily pirate" something? Delete all traces when done and pray to BillG to forgive your transgressions? :p
 
2:43 PM
@GeorgeEdison My Exams
 
destroy all the evidence ;p
 
izx
@jokerdino: it's called a hangasm ;)
 
@AmithKK Why can't you use LibreOffice?
 
izx
"it's only a crime if you get caught", eh?
 
@izx uh okay.. :S
 
2:45 PM
Chromium could not load the webpage because thepiratebay.se took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your Internet connection.
 
@GeorgeEdison he probably is tested on how to create a new database on Access or something.
 
Oh NOOOO
NOT TODAY
 
izx
Blame Reliance
 
I blame 3
@jokerdino Yeah
 
Okay, you officially earn my pity when you are forced to use MS Access 2003.
 
izx
2:48 PM
The Pirate Party needs to start an Indian affiliate...
 
I'm now hoping that I have an ISO of MS Office 2003
 
they do
"Why vote for lying criminal scum, when you can vote for scurvy piratical scum!"
 
TPB works.
 
izx
@AmithKK Worst case there's always sneakernet
 
2:58 PM
ubuntu-8.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso
 
jrg
@AmithKK did you really find that?
 
@jrg yeah
ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
This too
 
As you can see... I'm not very good with freehand drawings :P
 
lol funny.
 
F10-i686-Live.iso
 
3:03 PM
someone help me download 12.04 ISO and drop it in my dropbox. Thanks very much.
 
office xp 2002 with front page.iso
So close
user image

@AmithKK so true isn't it? :D
 
Yeah @jokerdino
 
@jokerdino I can do that, except for that drop to dropbox bit. My VPS has 10Mbps line ;)
 
the problem is my network blocks all .iso links :/
 
3:09 PM
no probs, I can rename it to something else, can you give me a direct link to download the ISO
 
actually, i don't really have much use for the ISO.
I wonder whether i should ask anyone to download it for me.. hmm
thanks for being too kind to me :P
 
:D
 
Is unable to do anything with his vps
 
@HackToHell Host my blog :P (j/k)
BBL
 
3:12 PM
good point. i need a sponsor for a domain and a server.
then i would blog while i blog.
 
:P Something lighter please, i already have less ram from hosting my blog
 
jrg
@jokerdino oh, i was getting ready to set it up on my people.u.c account and then rename it to .txt then you can wget it, and then rename it.
 
Look for namecheap offers @jokerdino I got mine for 2$
 
@jrg sounds like a nice idea.
i might buy a jokerdino.in just for the fun of it xD
 
Accepts jrg's offer but turns down mine :/
 
3:14 PM
i didn't want to strain others :)
i need to read up on setting up a live USB.
 
It's not straining me dude !! i have a 50 gig bandwith cap and I have used just 1 gb
 
wait what?
since when did you lose your cap? o.O
 
cap as of what ?
 
and is 50 gig per month cap?
 
What do you mean ?
 
3:16 PM
@HackToHell never mind. i am blabbering.
last time you were using BSNL and had problems with bandwidth I think.
in that case, i would like a fedora iso and a debian testing iso.
thinks.
 
hello
 
I was talking about my VPS joky
It has a 50 gig cap as @izx told
 
@HackToHell yeah i am not too familiar with the VPS thing. I am still pretty brand new to computing stuff.
 
izx
So your only restriction is a .iso extension filter?
 
I am 1 and a half year old into computer geekiness and it's been around 4 weeks since I got my VPS
You can torrent it @jok
 
3:20 PM
torrent port is blocked.
 
izx
Change it!
 
@izx i think so. i haven't tested other filters.
@izx wait what?
 
@jokerdino Use a Random Port
 
izx
It doesn't have to be 6881...the 6k ones are usually blocked
 
Use qbittorent in linux, it's awesome
Transmission sucks
 
3:21 PM
i haven't tried torrenting ever in my life :/
 
izx
O.o
 
How do you live ?
!!
 
lol
i just never got a chance to torrent
 
one year after the format :P
 
brb, rebooting.
 
3:24 PM
So, what did I miss?
 
izx
@jokerdino: I'm on mob view now and about to go away, but please remind me the next time I'm on, and I'll see about your Iso issues, have an idle-ish vps ;)
 
@izx noo I will be the one who downloads for joky ;p
 
@izx i have plans to download other distro iso's now :P hehe
@HackToHell well you can always help me download the quantal iso. i might get into iso testing after all xD
downloading qbittorrent now.
i have a people.u.c account as well. Hmm
 
see ya, I am blocking off chat via Cold turkey to get homework done :) @joke ping me if you need anything
 
yeah sure. see ya around laters!
 
3:49 PM
Anybody know where I can get big Access tables?
 
nope
i am still trying to figure this torrent magic.
 
Sigh
Torrents are not rocket science :P
@jokerdino Deluge. Now.

Q: Sudo user without the permission to edit sudoers

linuxspiderHow can I add an user to sudoers list with all privileges, but that user should not be able to edit the sudoers file ?

this one looks like an XY problem
 
i think they have blocked the torrent protocol perhaps?
 
BBL
Access Time
 
4:17 PM
Facepalm
It was already installed :D
Design View
 
jrg
@jokerdino still want those files?
 
SQL mode
CC @jrg
 
jrg
Cool!
 
Wouldn't it be better to just learn SQL? :P
 
check out the first google result for "where is chuck norris"
@GeorgeEdison yes, it would
 
4:31 PM
It's more fun if you hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button.
 
Yeah, I have trouble hitting the I'm feeling lucky button b/c it dynamically switches to results for me
 
jrg
@aking1012 you aren't really walker@texas rangers are you? :P
 
of course not
 
jrg
Good, because you had me worried. ;)
 
Aww
Don't star my post, star @jokerdino 's
 
4:42 PM
@jrg remember that google developer talk where she says okay you can draw triangles so you can make a game?

Q: How should I rsync files in /var/www if I want them to be owned by www-data?

cwdI have set up a new ec2 ubuntu box and installed apache and php5. By default you log onto the box with the ubuntu user who has sudo privileges. I believe apache runs as root and php5 runs as www-data. I think that I want all of the files in /var/www to be chown'ed to www-data:www-data, and fold...

 
@UbuntuQuestionsonUL Nice. A UL Ubuntu tag that's actually related to Ubuntu
 
6:15 PM
 
Sounds like a roundabout way to ask another hybrid graphics question: askubuntu.com/questions/156367/…
@GeorgeEdison --^
 
anyone here use NodeJS ? and remembers youtube.com/watch?v=1e1zzna-dNw that vid/rant
 
6:32 PM
@rlemon that rant seems a little obtuse...
 
Here was my response
I so badly wanted to comment on his vid but he locked comments.
How does his multi million dollar SEO site manage to be so uber when it's a wordpress blog (WP is not a CMS!) and to boot how does searching put me in paypal for 3K a month
 
yeah...good points all around
 
jrg
@aking1012 Whoa.
 
I don't know about "anything he says is trolling", I jumped to a couple of other rants...the FreeBSD/Linux rant was middle of the road
@jrg whoa?
 
jrg
@aking1012 watched that video of triangles.
 
6:40 PM
Hehehe. I thought it was funny
 
jrg
@rlemon wait, you went from "Hello world" to paypal?!
 
@aking1012 did you see the "search anything on his site and they try to setup a monthly 3K charge via pay pal"
yea man
anything but a empty query sends you to paypal with a 3K/mo bill pre-populated
that is why ANYTHING he says is a scam/trolling
 
@jrg I suppose they were only testing their keyboard control feedback and box collisions, but I could be wrong
@rlemon yeah that's a valid perspective
 
jrg
@aking1012 that was what I thought.
 
Oh, and the "braiins" chase engine I guess...but yeah. You can draw triangles so you can make a game joke.
@rlemon what screen recording etc did you use for the video?
 
6:49 PM
recordMyDesktop
 
ffmpeg/avconv with x11-grab and direct conversion to whatever format/codec/bitrate is preferred by your video host will get you much better resolution
 
meh
recording my 1080p 24" wide screen display and shrinking it down to a youtube vid might have something to do with it
 
that too, but they'll let you have 1080 videos on their side won't they? i was thinking transcoding was eating you up
 
nahh 720P was best it would let me do
idk how these guys get the 1080p
 
7:05 PM
pity youtube doesn't have a page like those smart people over at vimeo
 
jrg
yeah, the vimeo people are smart.
 
7:21 PM
 
best/simplest explanation of procedural versus oop i've seen recently youtube.com/watch?v=rDXuPBjVfSc&feature=related it doesn't touch on all the traits/properties, but it's an interesting way to approach the thought
 
I'm producing a new movie. calling it the BoogIE man

@rlemon at least they have a disable flash and java mode in latest
 
jrg
@rlemon Sounds really scary. Will it be rated I for Internet Scariness?
 
Javascript is a Prototypical Object Oriented language...
so it's a POO language ... got it!
@jrg no it's rated ME
 
jrg
7:23 PM
EEK
 
The basis of the plot is; A family facing hard times moves to a small town. Little do they know the house they just purchased with their life saving is haunted... by the boogIE man! a few decades before they moved in a nice family lived there with a son. He was foolish and ran too many ActiveX controls and mistakenly called upon the wrath of the boogIE monster. His mother tried an Excelcism but it was no luck. The boy was possessed. He now leaked memory into the spirit world ... too long
wouldn't let me finish the story
too bad I was on a good run

Q: Drag and Drop images from another website to mine

rlemonI ran a quick google and SO search and found similar questions but none were well formed and most were old and looked abandoned (no answers, and no comments for a while). So here goes... I want to be able to collect the url (only the url) of an image being dropped onto my site from another webs...

also what an interesting answer :P
> .getAsString takes a callback which gets the url as argument once it's called

Given my avatar I thought I should post a funny
 
@rlemon me since i am stuck on god-awful-piece-of-godforsaken-**** windows
 
@LordofTime and you cannot install a userscript to chrome on windows?

Yes...yes it is
 
7:38 PM
@jrg no yes
 
@aking1012 oo I have a nice pic of me IN the delorean
 
jrg
@LordofTime I want one.
 
must find now
 
@jrg yes no
 
jrg
@LordofTime dangit. Can't do the lord of time thing and bring it over? :(
GO BACK TO THE FUTURE AND BRING ME ONE PLEASE? puppy eyes
 
7:39 PM
@jrg no i mean, I could, but it'd mess up a fixed point in time
which would end everything
@jrg how about i just take you to the future and then leave you there xD
 
jrg
@LordofTime that'd work.
 
damn Delorean pic is not on my pc here
but my StarTrek pic is!
 
takes @jrg fifty years into the future, and leaves @jrg at the doorstep to the deloreanlimo dealership without any money to speak of
 
I imagine the beam up will be painful so I'm preparing for it
@LordofTime realizes the interest rates from @jrg's $30 in the bank over 50 years was enough.... fooled again
 
@rlemon what thirty bucks
 
jrg
7:42 PM
@rlemon in my dreams.
 
between now and 50 years from now the economy dies, and any old money is gone. the new economy is based off of 50gram gold nuggets
:P
 
eff that
the new economy is based on the only thing that survived the nuclear fallout
Twinkies!
 
jrg
Sweet, at last the economy is sane.
 
but diminishing as the population increases waist size.
 
jrg
7:44 PM
Twinkies and Gold.
 
soon size 52 pants will be the new trade-able commodity
 
nope, just twinkies
since i took all the gold
(an accident where the tardis hit the timestream)
 
thats ok I have all the copper. (lets see which is worth more in 50 years)
 
copper's illegal :P\
since all copper was taken to be utilized as fuel for a new type of experimental power reactor
 
jrg
My little brother somehow owns all the LEDs, so I think he's set. ;P
 
7:46 PM
(and when it was tested, the copper exploded, causing fallout over half of russia)
 
Im' the hulk.
Beat that!
@jrg is my brother
together we rule the new world
 
points at the dalek fleet descending upon the earth
 
jrg
a very scrawny hulk.
 
um...
good luck with that
 
@LordofTime dalek can't EXTERMINATE what cannot be killed.
 
7:48 PM
guess you've never dealt with the reality bomb :p
 
@jrg picture is deceiving... i'm really wearing size 1 million pants.
@LordofTime cannot be killed. I will live past the Great Face of Bo[d]e (I would have sworn they pronounce it with a d.. ohh well)
 
@jrg - you've closed this one (askubuntu.com/questions/122345/…) - happy to reopen and then dupe against this one? askubuntu.com/questions/156350/…
