@kalina if you want to know come to speak in my room
but then, something within me rebels at having more than 3 apps running at a time. A habit from my days of only 4 gigs of ram.
Chrome will quickly chew through RAM
no need to talk crap here ;)
@Seth I have... so many applications open right now
the only thing that actually use RAM are vid's, games... essentially multimedia
00:01
@kalina I only have chromium with 20 tabs and one terminal, and I'm only using 2.2 gigs.
and shutter
Most of them are actually background services and the like
758 MB with zsh, chromium 15 tabs and zim...
but I have 5 Windows Explorer windows, Windows media player, Google Chrome x4 with ~40 ish tabs, Internet Explorer, Steam, Origin, mIRC, PuTTY, VNC, Battle.net client, Curse client, Ventrilo, dropbox client, google drive client, FRAPS, google music client, 2 copies of EVE Online, EVE monitor
couple of notepads
Chrome is by far the biggest RAM usage atm
oh my word..
00:03
and I never shut anything down either
why would you want to do that?
I have no issues running more games while EVE Online is open
@kalina because you're a computer expert..
I'm no expert -.-
at best in comparison to most of the people on SE I'm a casual computer user
@Braiam and you use gnome?
yup
@kalina I never shut anything... my electricity provider does ;)
Once I watched Windows boot and I saw grep.exe, cat.exe, rm.exe, sed.exe and a couple others load and I was like O_o
00:05
in Tavern on the Meta on Meta Stack Overflow Chat, 10 mins ago, by JoshC
@Braiam Doesn't look like im going to beat Jon Skeet. He's leading with 80 rep >.<
the PC under my desk (affectionately known as the foot warmer) running Ubuntu 11.04 has an uptime of 71 days now
if he beats Jon Skeet, stack overflow closes...
and aside from operating as a foot rest/foot warming device, it also stores my vast collection of movies and tv shows
it is a fantastic foot rest though
@kalina You gotta update that thing... or someday it'll explode.
I refuse
no computer will tell me it wants to reboot and get away with it
00:10
@Seth yeah, it need a foot massager
@kalina tsk tsk, you are inviting doom.
no gamer pun intended.
doom and I are already close friends
Ubuntu runs like a bag of nails on that PC, anyway
I fear that if I reboot it, it won't reboot
another reason you need to update it and install openbox.
another reason I need to ditch Linux and reinstall Windows on it, more like
@kalina Quitter :P
Does anyone have any experience with the md editor of stackoverflow.
00:22
@blade19899 I see it more like "wanting my PC to work on demand with no messing around, ever" than quitting!
trying it to edit the title also, but, no luck
@blade19899 Maybe..
@kalina On a old computer, Windows is gonna cause more trouble ;)
@Seth Windows 8 ran on it fine
ZERO ISSUES
apart from requiring a legitimate license key
of which I do not posses a second
Linux literally won due to it being free
Ready needed to learn php before i dived in this mess
00:24
nobody should learn PHP
@kalina Why not?
it's a horrible dirty language used by people that can't operate a shaver
@kalina You know PHP?
@kalina :/
@Seth no
00:26
Or you know FEichinger?
din din din din din din din
@badp Did you mean "ding"?
although you don't need to know FEi to not hold PHP to a high esteem
@Seth The g is silent anyway!
@badp That's true as well.
@badp Yes, but din != ding, they're different words!
00:27
Is din even a word?
Any experience
@badp yes
@Seth I idle in the DMZ
"a loud, unpleasant, and prolonged noise."
NOT VERY DIFFERENT
@badp yes it is
00:28
still noise, sound
@blade19899 Never used it before, but markdown isn't very different no matter what editor you use.
@badp One is nice, like the ringing of a bell, the other is like a huge explosion.
@Seth You were so right, you exploded the bells multiple times.
@Seth unless you're talking about the implementation for questions and answers vs the implementation for comments and chat
@Seth true. But, was trying to make it so that when clicked on edit, i could also edit the title...
@blade19899 of what?
00:30
@Seth his face
@Seth, of the editor title.
@kalina, be nice...
@Seth sorry the $fname variable
I'm lost..
Am tired... but al try to explain....
ahh wait, you are using this editor to edit SO posts?
and it doesn't have an option for the title?
@Seth, my own. For my website. And no it does not have the option for the title
Am trying to edit the code so that i can also edit the title
00:34
I see.
Well not knowing anything about this editor, and trying my hardest to not use PHP, I'm afraid I can't help you much.
@Seth, no matter.
Currently it supports to name the title via webbrowser title bar. But not really how i want it...
I can barely keep my eyes open.
Gonna take a nap

lol
01:01
moderator around? @Oli ?
@Seth for?
Well this:
-1
A: Is there a way to run my Windows VB.NET program through Mono?

guestInstall the VB compiler by: sudo apt-get install mono-vbnc then run by: mono test.exe

A: Is there a way to run my Windows VB.NET program through Mono?

KishorYes you can do that simply installing mono on your ubuntu as follows $ sudo apt-get install mono-complete After installation of mono $ mono test.exe If you want to browse more about mono visit: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page

Word for word dupes.
oh yeah. Did you try flagging for moderator attention? :)
Of course ;)
But it's always nicer to have it done right away.
alright ;) meanwhile I downvoted it and will flag it as well.
01:03
cool
if I had 20k I would VtD...
if I had 20k I would VtD all the things.
@Seth +
@kalina O_o
ALL OF THEM
deleted
And no power in the 'verse could stop me
lol you where the one speaking of ban :)
01:06
meh, she's running for mod... I think
nope
that's a thing that's never going to happen
too bad if it was really so xD
there's no evidence
at least... oh wait, there is evidence
well, damn
unfortunately the community involved in said thing was unforgiving of past transgressions
so I am dialling back my participation on said site and utilising the spare time that gives to edit other sites
too bad too bad...
in Slowbanned room, 17 mins ago, by slowbanned
Then maybe this is an exception. I think my situation is like an american raised in Korea then becoming a Korea soldier. He later regrets and move to America, where he becomes an american soldier. Now, despite the fact that he was against America, is able to share the koreans weak points and anyway is a powerful help to America.
in Slowbanned room, 16 mins ago, by slowbanned
If they jail or kill him, there's no more such thing and they have to hire private agents for that, having the possibility they die meanwhile being in mission.
@slowbanned this doesn't differ at all from me saying "poor you"
01:09
@kalina did I say something similar to you?
:)

Q: Installation of Ubuntu 13.10 stops?

user242260I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 on a clean disk (no Windows) from a downloaded and burned copy (official site) as a boot-able DVD. As soon as the UBS initialization finishes, I get the following; Caldera DR-DOS 7.03 and then [DA - DOS] A : \ > A flashing block follows this. It seems to be w...

Do downvotes cost rep?
on answers, yes
Answer is Very Low Quality
@slowbanned Yes
on questions, no
01:13
@RPiAwesomeness damn then -_-
Answer is Very Low Quality
@slowbanned :(
g2g
rep gets refunded if the answer is subsequently deleted
@RPiAwesomeness is it to be flagged?

Well nevermind, I'm still at 303 rep..
@kalina thank you
@RPiAwesomeness will monitor questions for you :)
@kalina how comes you have no profile on AskUbuntu?
I do
I only see Gaming Stack Exchange :/
ah well, then..
:)

cause in no more than 1 hour gotta go to sleep..
@slowbanned of course we're monitoring questions.
@Seth phew :)

this one looks like someone speaking without breathing
an alien :O
01:37
Man, those Arqade folks just picked those election candidates to pieces!
@Seth huh?

it's ok :)
cee ya later
02:00
going to sleep..
night guys
02:33
@Braiam I mean, they were almost asking if a candidate had ever sneezed while closing a question.
@Seth well, is their concern that mods doesn't close stuff they would close under normal circumstances...
They were more "concerned" than even the SO people. It's ridiculous. If you have to know what I eat for breakfast in order to elect me to a moderator postilion, either you shouldn't be voting or I shouldn't be elected.
I meant, they were concerned that the mods they elect for moderation fear the power given to moderate... if I give you a sledgehammer and the responsibility to help set straight some pillars, otherwise the roof falls apart, why wouldn't you use it?
is a matter of give the power that meant to be used to people that would use it...
02:49
which election?
gaming
@Seth I eat hot-pockets, sometimes at the same time as voting to close :)
@Braiam My point was that in all the elections I've seen (some odd 5 or so) no one has asked so many strange and searching questions..
They've always had more trust I guess.
@Mateo What type of hot-pockets?
@Seth the ham and cheese ones (can buy in a big box), sometimes the pizza, the breakfast ones are good too
@Mateo I hope you don't eat the pepperoni ones while closing a question...
(jk of course)
with a hint of irony and sarcasm.
goes off to eat pizza
03:05
@Seth I save those for spam flagging ;)
@Seth oddly, I blame chat ;p
How to get a new user to 20xp so they can get into chat?
Or is it 50?
@jmunsch: general chat or just an invite room?
@jmunsch upvote his question and convince others to do so (this needs some waiting time), or get a mod to allow them chat in a room
not him
her
from banagalore india
03:08
20, and thats pretty trivial to reach. Answer question, get upbote x2, ???? PROFIT chat
can you allow in a room that you made?
haha
haven't tried
@Mateo supposedly yes, in the practice no
@jmunsch: we're a gender and country non discriminatory chatroom. We're certainly not speciesist, are we?
@JourneymanGeek .... sighs
03:09
@Braiam it is just the extra step that people don't know how to do?
@jmunsch: there's a running joke on rootaccess that I'm a dog. It might even be true. Life is full of mysteries.
@Mateo create a chat room with your current user, create a sockpuppet, allow him to write in a room and see if it works
hm, ok
03:11
@JourneymanGeek ... haha. I laugh out loud. for reals. thanks for the tips. :D
@jmunsch: I'd also add that that 20 rep is on any one site on the network
all asexual blobs around these parts
what are the mods thoughts on gender politics? is this a hot button issue? just curious?
or something else?
@jmunsch: honestly? Most folk don't really care what your gender is ;p
We're here to talk about ubuntu and other things (or general geekery, or anything but live support, depending on the room)
@JourneymanGeek ok. just wondering what the thoughts were about that. I know some people get upset about that kind of stuff.
@jmunsch: We are all geeks. Thats what really matters more than petty differences ;p
also, your web portal is very web 1.5 ;p
03:18
@Braiam nope... I guess they need to reword the "or their reputation is too low" part
@JourneymanGeek ... not trying to be a man hating feminist here, but do gender equality/outreach issues come up in conferences and what not for ubuntu? Like the way I see ubuntu is like a really great community that everyone should be able to be a part of no matter what. I am definitely an expert about this kind of stuff. .... web 1.5 haha. my facebook card? haha

AviDMeme: @Iszi's Gender Originator: @Iszi, @ScottPack, @GrahamLee Cultural Height: Most of 2011 Background: Originally, @Graham made a snarky comment to @Iszi, and @Scott over-analyzed and ran downhill with it. @Iszi's protests of malehood notwithstanding. Graham Lee: @Iszi Just doin' my jo...

@Braiam just dig me a hole and put me there. haha.
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, I'm sure that has something to do with it, but I thought the arquaders were the chattiest of the chatters...
now only sock-puppets can use this one: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/12778/…
03:32
@Mateo If only my SSH -X was working D:
btw, I thought the password for IAMA SOCKPUPPET was lost..
probally, I lost my socks password
@Braiam Huh, I wonder.. do we have memes?
@Mateo I forgot mine too... but I have it on a cookie somewhere.
jorge is a robot?
@Mateo Ah, that is certainly one.
mine is back when we had a main questions feed, made a user with the same name as the feed
03:35
@Mateo that worked? That must have been funny.

Nice Answer: How can I set Ask Ubuntu website as Desktop live wallpaper? [closed] http://askubuntu.com/a/174572?atw=1 #wallpaper
lol [closed]
...
@Braiam I was pondering one of those for SU. Then I realised most of them would be about me.
@JourneymanGeek ... sorry can you give me an example of web 1.5? I am new and have many question.
03:42
@JourneymanGeek will tell the guys in Root Access... ¬_¬
@JourneymanGeek that's always a good reason to avoid a subject I find.
O_O
that was after nathan edited one of his "interruptions" :
Jul 4 '12 at 4:59, by Questions Feed
Meh, sorry for the interruption.
UL has many memes, most of them are about Gilles or Stephane
I am Gilles and I approve of this answer. — Gilles 5 hours ago
O_O
o_O
what i miss?
03:47
IS IT LEGAL TO LAUGH THIS MUCH?
@jmunsch its more than 1, less than 2.
yes. yes it is.
@Braiam That's funny. I'm afraid we don't have any real memes besides jorge ones though. Does that mean we're more sane?
It is like web 2, but you don't have java or flash turned on
wait, isn't it backwards... is like web 2.0 just without flash and java?
@Seth definitively... not
btw, people that wonders then what is Gilles:
03:52
@Seth getting "Elijah'ed"
@JourneymanGeek @Mateo is that like the 90's? Cause as a millenial these things are important for cultural propagation.
@Mateo don't forget. Needs moar jquery
2
@jmunsch I think you are trying to fit things into small boxes.
1995 was a good year.
@Mateo How do I make the boxes bigger? Is it even about boxes? Is this off topic?
don't know, I just never liked the "Web" x.0 labels, the web is the web
04:03
fair enough.
@Mateo thanks for the read. It was insightful.
@jmunsch sure, well later i'm out
04:18
later
04:34
@Mateo Aha! Yes, that would definitely be one :D
