Why don't you need to escape the slash before the "o"?

9:02 PM

cuz the text is text, not interpreted as html or something like that

mind though: the * will disappear

O

see

so no pompoms :(

user139252

\o*

user139252

/*

user139252

o

That's a pom! not a pom pom

*o*

that is with a \ in front

user139252

*o*

9:04 PM

so in chat you need to escape special chars where the * is for italic

my anime site is down :(

user136984

Goodnight guys! :)

Night @Panda

@Rinzwind I'd ask for the site but I guess there would be little to see currently.

I have a machine I SSH into on a Rackspace virtual XEN environment originally built as Ubuntu 11.04, but I have since upgraded to 12.04 with a grub 1.99 on menu.lst, not a grub2. The do-release-upgrade to 12.10 ran successfully and was going to reboot. However after shutting down, my virtual mach...

Q: Radeon HD 3000 drivers for Ubuntu 14.04.3? HDMI overscan problems

This should be easy for someone who knows about video:

Please be patient with me, I haven't used a linux distro since slackware in the late 90's and have since forgotten everything I once knew. Anyways, I've installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 on my main HTPC server machine and am using a 42" LCD TV as a monitor. The issue I'm having is that the default resolu...

@Zacharee1 Or the question is "where did you stay"?. Think about it.

Sorry, it's being tired. It makes me philosophycal and a bit spooky.

New word :p

@TheBrownOne sounds like something down your alley: askubuntu.com/questions/729267/apache2-multiple-domains-same-ip

10:39 PM

16.04 is nice so far

what's new?

not much

just hope they smash the gnome csd stuff back in place ;P

eww

the location isn't even consistent on the apps that have the csd decorations

you can blame gnome at least.. That's one comfort.

user139252

10:44 PM

@Seth Answering

so, probably last min patches, like last release, something to smooth over

like they added the first letter search back

@TheBrownOne awesome

Any of you on Android should try this wallpaper:

play.google.com/store/apps/…

font rendering looks nice though

@Mateo exciting! Can't wait till April

When I can put my Minecraft server on a stable release :p

10:48 PM

I'm trying out on an external - so many of the last-min cleanup stuff isn't there yet - was hoping to try out my scope on the unity-8 desktop

currently a bug where you can't install anything on it :(

Unity 8 is definitely unfinished. I installed it on my computer before I had to reinstall and it looked nice, but broken :p

@Mateo :/

user139252

I would like to host using Apache2 and I need to know how I can have two different domains pointing to the same static IP but different websites, so for example I could have bill.com and bob.com. They are both hosted on the same server, same ports but are different websites, how could I go abou...

apache2

UVed

Looks great :D

Nice subtle advertising :p

10:56 PM

looks good @TheBrownOne! Besides the fact I can't verify it works :p

yay, that installed

running on unity7 ;P

Wazzat

the terminal app :)

Ah?

huh, nothing opens on the unity8 desktop right now :(

user139252

11:01 PM

@Seth Why not?

well, I guess I could..

I'd have to install apache and set it up..

user139252

Hmm... it's telling me --short isn't a valid argument

user139252

It's +short

user139252

@Mateo can you call from the terminal on Ubuntu phone?

user139252

dial +18885555555

11:05 PM

if the dialer accepts an argument I suppose

let me check

da Boss

I can call from the Terminal on my Lumia 950...

user139252

@daBoss Okay, I wasn't asking about Windows :P

da Boss

@TheBrownOne I still told you and I am not taking it back! :-P

The conversations in this chat...

@TheBrownOne you can launch from the browser "tel://1888885555"

I'm totally going to make horrible, mean web-pages and target Ubuntu Phone users :D

something like that ;P

Lol

Not in Safari

:)

lol

Also, name not resolved

user139252

Did it get taken down? D=

11:20 PM

It seems

Kind of just freezes Chrome mobile

@terdon Spam me with it, please! ;-)

user139252

Chrome mobile freezes

user139252

Desktop is worse off

Script:

                    var total = "";
                    for( var i = 0; i < 100000; i++ ) {
                        total = total + i.toString();
                        history.pushState(0,0, total );
                    }

Is the i.toString() the problem?

It just freezes Chrome desktop too

I guess it's an overload?

@kos Only when you're tired??? ;-)

11:26 PM

Is AU down?

uh oh

My school had better not have blocked the site...

I have to use Hola VPN to get to the site

lol JSLint can't even run the script

@ThomasW. ?

@Zacharee1 sounds like your school needs to have their networking filtering die and be rebuilt

is this Javascript

or Java?

@ThomasW. The system is so bad they had every site unblocked (including questionable ones) in the spring of last year

and can you share a complete code copy

@ThomasW. JS I think

@ThomasW. ?

@Zacharee1 This is an excerpt of code

where's the rest of the code

11:33 PM

That's it

embedded in a web page?

view-source:http://crashsafari.com/

Don't visit the page!!!

user139252

@ThomasW. It's a page that spams your address bar with new address, a string of random numbers. However, it fills up your browser's history cache before it can process new things, so everything just kind of hangs up.

@Zacharee1 I just visited it and I get a warning that it wants to redirect me...

I allowed to redirect once and as no cookies nor script is running on my machine, I can just look at the source!

user139252

@Fabby that's because you're smart :D

11:36 PM

indeed

@TheBrownOne assuming there is a cache

disabled it

Oh, I see it

@Zacharee1 it looks like it's almost a buffer overload ;p

yeah

overload the cache and bam

in any case, don't access it

Springboard crashes :p

user139252

11:37 PM

Read about it in Wired :P

BTW, next time wrap it in backticks

then it's not a link

it's code

true

@JourneymanGeek if you're alive can you mod-power-edit that crashsafari item to be a code snippet and not a link? Or just nuke that message?

@ThomasW. Access it if you've got noscript withdefault scripting turned off everywhere except allowed: No problem...

indeed

user139252

11:41 PM

I need more coffee

Journeyman Geek

@ThomasW: whawhere?

ahh donemethinks

@TheBrownOne nice ava. Its fetchingly monochrome ;p

user139252

@JourneymanGeek @Fabby thinks I look like a turd ;P

lol

I never said you looked like a turd! :P I said your avatar looks like a dog turd!

@Fabby ◔_◔

11:45 PM

;-)

Doing a DB load, so hopefully I won't fall asleep on my keyboard...

that worked, thanks @JourneymanGeek

user139252

I never understood how paper beats rock.

(like last time) >:-)

@JourneymanGeek hate to ask you to abuse modpower, but it's to prevent maliciousclicks :)

@TheBrownOne Paper covers the rock.

user139252

11:47 PM

Like, if I threw a rock at you, and you held up a piece of paper, that rock is totally going through the paper and blinding you.

@TheBrownOne trees can break apart boulders :p

@TheBrownOne Also, the game needs to work

@TheBrownOne You can put a paper on top of the rock and then voilà: no more rock!

user139252

@Fabby Am I a bugblatter beast of tra'al? Do I forget about things just because I can't see them? :P

@TheBrownOne It also depends on the amount of sheets you're holding and the size of the rock...

user139252

If it's multiple sheets, it also beats scissors.

11:48 PM

Two stacks of 250 paper stops a 9mm bullet!

user139252

Unless you have giant scissors, in which case those would beat rock.

@TheBrownOne fabric scissors?

@TheBrownOne Depends on the size of the scissors...

(Edward Scissorhands???)

;-)

E=mc²

(or: everything is relative)

@Fabby Jaws-Of-Life scissors

@Fabby Edward GardenShearsHands really...

11:50 PM

@ThomasW. Never heard that description for hydraulic scissors...

@Fabby close enough :P

in any case, huge ass hydraulic scissors beat all

except explosives

lol

(those beat all >:D)

@ThomasW. except water :p

@ThomasW. Don't get me wrong: I like it! :-)

11:51 PM

There's my nonexistent dyslexia coming through :P

@ThomasW. Home-made explosives... A bunch of ice, some nice vitriol, some more acid and some glycerine and off we go!

user139252

I think it should be "Fire, Grass, Water"

2

user139252

Fire burns grass, grass absorbs water, water extinguishes fire

user139252

But then we'd just be playing pokemon.

@TheBrownOne Good one! Whenever someone wants to do "rock, paper, scissors" I'm going to tell them that I like "Fire, Grass, Water" better!

fire is sticking all your fingers up and twiddling, grass is sticking all your fingers down and water is holding both hands together in a cup form!

11:54 PM

lol
