okay, who's starring everything again?
It's really annoying.
 
Wasn't me.
Wasn't George either.

These phones from Wileyfox look pretty sweet. Doesn't look like they will play nicely with US carrier frequencies though :/
 
I feel like this question is going to yield a really simple answer:

Q: How to float a <label> to the left of an <input>?

Nathan OsmanConsider the following HTML/CSS: * { box-sizing: border-box; } .field { overflow: auto; } .field label { float: left; width: 80px; } .field input { display: block; width: 100%; } <div class="field"> <label>Test</label> <input type="text"> </div> ...

@Seth According to their spec sheet, it looks like the best you could get would be 2G speeds.
> "2G bands: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900"
None of the 3G (HSDPA) or 4G (LTE) bands match those used in North America.
 
that's beat case scenario :/
 
It does look like a really good phone, though.
 
AT&T uses 850 and 1900 for both EDGE and 3G :/
So that chances are that they are using those bands for 3G where you are, not Edge.
(or where I am, to be specific)
 
4:09 AM
@Fabby :=)
 
ahh america. Doing everything wierd.
@Seth: depends. I think up to 3G is mostly standard everywhere, and quad band phones ought to have been the standard forever.

@NathanOsman How does your penguin go straight from W98 to Ubuntu 15.04?
 
It overwhelmed him at first.
 
I don't think a computer can even run that.
 
But once he got used to the stability improvements and finished mourning the loss of Solitaire, he was okay.
 
uhh.
solitare's there
 
In Ubuntu?
Heh - you're right!
 
6:25 AM
AisleRiot or whatever
 
I'll quickly go tell him.
This'll make his day.
 
Also you forgot to photoshop the ASUS logo out.
 
@Whaaaaaat Oh, it wasn't easy - but I managed to get it running in VirtualBox with much hacking and magic.
@Whaaaaaat What... where?
 
@NathanOsman You increased the ram. /gg
 
Where do you see the ASUS logo?
 
6:27 AM
pulling it
gimme a minute. i use the same dialup connection as your penguin.
 
BIOS settings
also (sorry for criticizing so much), but your V-Screen shows when he turns sideways.
 
I know :P
It's so hard to get the lighting right.
 
I hate V-Screens so much.
 
And if I don't get the lighting just right, the green is hard to remove with the color key filter.
@Whaaaaaat Ah! Good point.
I totally should have replaced that with "George" :P
Good job noticing that.
 
6:31 AM
^^
I'm good at that stuff.
"Wait, GeorgeBIOS is really a reskinned ASUS BIOS?"
The trick with V-Screens is to light the subject and not the background.
Or have lighting such that shadows cast (by penguin mouths for example) doesn't "spill" on to the v-screen
Annoying as hell.
 
Ah, I was doing the opposite, shining a light on the background and not the penguin.
Though it's hard to illuminate him and not have it cast a shadow on the green background.
 
Or, that's what was working for me.
But we had a really weird setup.
 
I'll play around with it a bit more next time.
The other minor problem is with the camera trying to automatically refocus. I can switch to manual focus but then it messes up the exposure. More playing around is needed :P
 
Ah. The pains of autofocus.
You need to keep the penguin in about the same place.
 
If only there was a button "lock focus" after the video starts recording. The camera doesn't move.
@Whaaaaaat It still tries to refocus. I think any sort of movement triggers it.
Anyway, I gotta head to bed.
Goodnight all.
 
6:36 AM
@NathanOsman See you later.
 
@GeorgetheDev Lol.
 
SOCKPUPPET
wait hang on.
Goodnight all.

In the SE network.
 
user136984
So if there a 100 users called Seth, when I ping you, do they all get pinged even if they have never entered this chat room?
 
4:52 PM
I can only receive pings from rooms I have visited in the last 3 days.
Same goes for every other user.
 
user136984
So how does one get your attention to get you into another room?
 
You invite me there.
 
user136984
That must have been what it was then...
 
user136984
Sorry, someone once pinged me, or 'invited' me to a room I had never been to.
 
np
@ParanoidPanda I once visited a room that had another regular user named Seth something (I forget the exact last name), but the regulars were used to just pinging him with @Seth (vs his entire username). When I left the room I received pings intended for him for several days.

@ParanoidPanda I don't notice that many. It really depends.
Usually they come in droves and then disappear for a while.
 
user136984
@Seth: And are most of them things you can act on, or just people spamming them?

they probably get abused as much as they get used properly.
 
user136984
5:46 PM
@Seth: And how much would you say that is? I mean do you see trouble a few times a month or what?
 
@ParanoidPanda I really don't have any numbers. I'm not here for all the flags so even if I was keeping track of how many/when I saw them it wouldn't be accurate.
 
user136984

@ParanoidPanda I can't tell you why bitdefender is telling you that, but I checked the site with multiple scanners, and it tested OK.

Only bitdefender shows it as such, all others shows clean
 
user136984
7:16 PM
@Mitch: That suggests a false positive, however, it could also mean that BitDefender knows something the others don't, and it has been known to detect malware that other AVs don't, so the site still could be malicious or perhaps used to be.

@A.B. yes, i saw that. Just a question though, what does line package com.askubuntu. . . . does ? I cannot compile if i have that

Change your folder structure
 
(I think it's a bit too bright.)
 
That's a package name
Package name= file path

@NathanOsman good but darker would be better
 
Or install Eclipse
 
So . . . I'd need to make folder com/askubuntu/users/serg and move my .java file there ?
 
Right

How do you check if a number can be divided by another and is equal to a whole number in Java by the way?
