@izx I'm fine. How about you?

ObsessiveFOSS

@BigGenius I don't know. What are you trying to accomplish?

Amith KK

Oh and Happy Independence day in advance

izx

@AmithKK A little disappointed your tag-editor beta is private-only

Mahesh

jrg

@Mahesh because one of your messages got sucked into the migration. sorry

Mahesh

oh.. okay. :)

izx

14:27

That room is turning into a madhouse... :)

jrg

uh-oh.

don't like the sound of that.

ObsessiveFOSS

@jrg He's just shaking me down for my IM accounts///

Jorge Castro

@Jrg I ran out of close votes exactly 15 minutes after the new review landed, so if izx or jokerdino can flag em up that'd be <3

izx

Instead of doing a simple backup/restore, @Obs insists that any broken system can be fixed from a LiveCD with no backups necessary. I sarcastically suggested BigG contact Obs via Skype for help with that when the sh!t hits the fan, and apparently he took it seriously...

ObsessiveFOSS

All he's complaining about is a broken GRUB... And he's trying to stick it on a flash drive...

Jorge Castro

14:33

@izx did you see the new review queue? the close thing is basically awesome

nitstorm

@JorgeCastro Totally agree with you on that!

Stephen Myall

Hello, quick question for anybody. when giving feed back on answers in Review Tasks (beta). How do I deal with answers presented where the question is already voted closed?

izx

@JorgeCastro Yeah, just checking it out... is that flags bubbling up like the old one?

Jorge Castro

yeah, so basically they're all in one pile

so really, we no longer need to paste stuff in the channel etc

and the queue is only like 349

BigGenius

Well

Say "Hi" To me

i am here

ObsessiveFOSS

14:37

Really?

@AmithKK

Hello all

Amith KK

@BigGenius Heya

izx

@JorgeCastro It's f'ing AWESOME....I'm all out already!

Jorge Castro

hah yeah, me too

izx

I love that it makes comparing dupes so easy -- I caught like 4 self-dupes!

ObsessiveFOSS

@izx I can only imagine the fun.

BigGenius

14:41

DOS is multiple window os?

or single program os?

izx

@ObsessiveFOSS Then get to work answering legit questions that will generate rep instead of becoming a one-man tech-support chat-channel....

ObsessiveFOSS

@BigGenius It's an OLD comamdn line OS that can run one program at a time.

It can run TSR's in the background, though.

izx

TSR==evil RAM gobblers (or viruses)

Luis Alvarado

Hello

jokerdino

ok where was i before i left off for supper?

izx

14:43

Hi Luis!

BigGenius

izx

@jokerdino We were talking about how you'd fall head-over-heels in love with the new review-beta ;)

Luis Alvarado

ok now it works!. Was having problems with connecting to the askubuntu chat with firefox. It just got stuck in "logging in"

BigGenius

ITs on My UBuntu

Jorge Castro

@izx we should have that queue down to nothing in no time!

ObsessiveFOSS

14:43

@izx I still have Windows 3.1 aroubd...

BigGenius

box

Luis Alvarado

@ObsessiveFOSS - O.o Win 3.1... the good old times

ObsessiveFOSS

@BigGenius It's just Hello, World.

jokerdino

@izx oh that.

yeah. the new one is good

but i don't really like to use my touchpad much

BigGenius

i was testing it

ObsessiveFOSS

14:44

@LuisAlvarado I prefer the Windows 95 installation I have on there.... FAT32>btrfs

izx

@ObsessiveFOSS Dude, I have a DOS 6.22 VM for some old games that won't run in DosBox, but that's because I know how to deal with it...

Luis Alvarado

hehe oki

ObsessiveFOSS

@izx I have a replica of Microsoft's Traf-O-Data

Luis Alvarado

yeah, my first computer experience was DOS 5.0 which came with a fat manual with all commands

BigGenius

what;s age of you both?

Luis Alvarado

14:45

I had to learn everything since I thought that pc was a nintendo system

BigGenius

@izx

izx

@LuisAlvarado I remember that manual -- it was SO AWESOME, every CLI reference

BigGenius

and foss guy

Luis Alvarado

exactly

ObsessiveFOSS

@LuisAlvarado I still have to make a batchfile called ls.bat in my path since I can't type dir.

@BigGenius I am not "foss guy". I am ObsessiveFOSS.

izx

14:46

For that matter, my Ti-89 calculator, bought some 12+ years ago came with a very nice 300+ page manual. Apparently now they just put a PDF on the CD

Luis Alvarado

sad part was... after learning the whole guide i did not get to play mario ;(

jrg

@LuisAlvarado I can't tell if you're serious or joking. :P

Luis Alvarado

jrg

@LuisAlvarado i see you here, whats up with this? - meta.askubuntu.com/questions/3904/…

jokerdino

ObsessiveFOSS

@izx I have the 83, 83+, 84+silver, 89, 89Titanium...

Luis Alvarado

the thing started because i think i typed something like "mario bros" in the terminal

jrg

Or are you using Chromium?

izx

LOL, my parents never got me a "video game", so I had to have fun with "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego", GrandPrix, etc.

jokerdino

i have a nspire

izx

14:47

and Leisure Suit Larry :P

Luis Alvarado

and msdos said something along the lines of "you misspelled something"

BigGenius

izx and fossguy

ObsessiveFOSS

@izx Forgot to add Nspire CAS and Nspire CX

Luis Alvarado

i was like OMG mario is installed here.. now to find out how to play it hehe

BigGenius

jrg

@LuisAlvarado No clue why it worked, all I did was refresh your chat profile from your AU profile.

izx
