@Zanna coconut cream sounds kinda good.

That probably works with tiramisu

I'm not at all envious :<

Severus Tux

I am having a little problem with my GNOME, How to make bookmarks remember the mountpoint and automatically mount the required partition when clicked on. Any ideas ?

@StefanoPalazzo I have made it myself using coconut cream :)

batteries can be split into 2 ? :D

Zanna

a battery by definition is more than one cell I think? so by definition in theory yes? haha but in actual fact, depends what is being described by "battery"

Phone batteries are just bricks of Lithium

Q: Ubuntu detects two batteries when I only have one

I have a computer on which was spilled water. Following the incident, the battery duration was reduced to ~30 minutes and two batteries were detected by Ubuntu: one completely discharged, and another with the real state of the battery. The autonomy percentage displayed by Ubuntu was the mean of t...

Q: Can motherboard rust?

I spilled shampoo on my laptop recently. gave it to the tech guys, they cleaned it and it was working fine. After a month suddenly the control alt and shift buttons were not working when pressed together. Now the shift key is not working. The tech guys say the mother board has rusted after the sh...

@JourneymanGeek take it with you into the bath?

Journeyman Geek

this, I'm sure, is likely to be warranty voiding. And I don't mean in the satisfying sense. Like dropping a little stinker into the fires of mordor...

Zanna

@JourneymanGeek anything could happen with me, I'm extremely clumsy

Journeyman Geek

@Zanna so am I. Shampoo tho

Zanna

Hehehe

Thomas Ward

14:39

@JourneymanGeek i know several people who have done this :P

Journeyman Geek

@ThomasWard water? sure. soap... maybe...

what next, conditioner?

Thomas Ward

@JourneymanGeek At least it's something that can be cleaned :P

Zacharee1

@JourneymanGeek you've gotta make sure you scrub all the malware out

Thomas Ward

i know someone who spilled paint on their laptop once.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Zanna

14:44

on mine I've spilled cocoa powder, nail polish, hand cream, sunscreen, yogurt...

Thomas Ward

... printer toner...

someone I know was working with a printer, and made a very very stupid mistake. They opened the wrong part on a printer toner cartridge for a laser printer, and spilled the entire toner cartridge everywhere, including over their computer.

that system was... not usable... after that....

Zanna

Ugh printer ink is nasty

edwinksl

@Anwar heh, no problem

Rinzwind

@Zanna Not really. Gotta keep'm in the cartridge though :-D

Arronical

Ink is bad, but toner is truly evil. I think it has to disposed of as hazardous waste, at least once used.

Zanna

15:01

It is carcinogenic

@Rinzwind yup... apparently it's the most expensive liquid in the world

chaskes

@edwinksl I was saying a shorter form of 我应该去睡觉. Was it the missing qu?

Arronical

@Zanna If you believe some newspapers, everything is!

edwinksl

@Arronical i would still rather deal with toner... best case is to not deal with printers at all :p

@chaskes no i was saying you shouldn't sleep that much and should hang around here instead :p

Arronical

@edwinksl Printer hatred always makes me think of the video of the cat that hates the printer, always strange as the cat's voice sounds exactly like my friend Steve.

chaskes

@edwinksl Ohhh. That would have been fun, I have to admit. (But you can see I'm self-conscious about my bad Chinese)

Hang on, @edwinksl are you Chinese? If so, your English is impressive! Unless you've cheated and were raised a bilingual :P.

@terdon bilingual :p

terdon

@edwinksl Cheater!

:P

edwinksl

journeymangeek is my fellow countryman

terdon

Although, as another bilingual child, I'm not really in any position to point any fingers :)

edwinksl

it is awesome to be bilingual :D

terdon

That it is.

chaskes

17:10

@terdon Aren't you trilingual?

terdon

Especially if you're a lucky bastard and one of your native languages is English, the global lingua franca. The only thing better would be if the other were Chinese, the one spoken by the largest minority. You win!

@chaskes I speak 5, but I'm a native speaker of 2

The other 3 are of varying levels of proficiency.

chaskes

@terdon Greek, French, English, and...?

terdon

Spanish and bit of Catalan.

I spent 7 years in Barcelona

jokerdino

> I'm a native speaker.

edwinksl

@terdon that was a consequence of singapore's history (chinese-dominated british colony), so i guess we got lucky

terdon

17:12

@jokerdino I never said I was a native typer :P

edwinksl

@terdon but do you support barca or real

terdon

@edwinksl That's an interesting definition of "lucky". Let's just call it a silver lining.

@edwinksl Neither, I'm afraid. I never could muster the slightest interest in watching sports.

jokerdino

British mostly had a positive impact on Singapore.

terdon

Oh?

jokerdino

Compared to other colonies, of course.

terdon

17:14

Good then. I know absolutely nothing about the history of the region, I'm afraid.

edwinksl

@jokerdino yeah i would agree with that assessment, esp when comparing to what they did to india

terdon

Yes, India was what I had in mind.

Still, if nothing else, it left you speaking what are probably the two most useful languages in the world.

In terms of the number of people you can communicate with.

IanC

@Serg tried to give him an answer, but this doubt was more related to the linux device input handling then C itself, had to do some research to find something about it :p

by the way, does anybody knows why xmodmap keycodes have an offset related to the sudo dumpkeys keycodes?

I took a wild guess on my answer (askubuntu.com/questions/826719/…), but I'm not sure about it

edwinksl

@terdon i also write tons of greek for work. does that make me somewhat an honorary greek? :p

terdon

@edwinksl Sure, if you like. Although most people are trying to become anything but Greek these days.

Why do you write Greek anyway? Do you speak it?

jokerdino

17:25

Alpha, beta, gamma symbols in research papers?

terdon

Argh, OK, yeah. Just looked at your profile. No, writing letters doesn't count. It has to be words at least. We may be Greek but we do have some standards!

edwinksl

@terdon :( :(

terdon

Sorry dude, that's just the way it is.

Q: How to uninstall NetBeans 8.1's Tomcat and GlassFish?

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 with GNOME 3.20 (though I was running 15.10 when I installed it) and when I installed NetBeans 8.1 I selected to install Tomcat and GlassFish as well which seem to be located in /usr/local as far as I can tell along with NetBeans. NetBeans also seems to be quite ...

@NathanOsman small question, do you know anything about github.io ? Does it cost ?

Nathan Osman

19:15

Nope, GitHub pages is free.

Zacharee1

19:25

@chaskes if you still have my script installed, you should reinstall it

Kaz Wolfe

hey @NathanOsman

have a python question for you

i have a bunch of modules in a folder i want to reload.

But the reload() thing doesn't work.

Nathan Osman

I have no idea how to reload modules.

Django and Flask both do it though.

Kaz Wolfe

huh.

oh, @ByteCommander, CE6 is great.

I'd like more moderative commands, though... But I don't know if we have any of that data.

Good point, I think. askubuntu.com/questions/827082/…

Mark Yisri

Hey. Mark here.

@Zacharee1 Tried your AU script this morning, seemed to work fine.

Zacharee1

I changed it

and the name of the CSS file

Mark Yisri

Hmm... let me see if I can try it now.

Restarting browser, back in a minute.

Byte Commander

@KazWolfe Hey, uhm... Thanks. But the main project is ChatExchange from Manishearth, he did all the work. I just made it Python 3 compatible.

Kaz Wolfe

well, it works well, so :D

Good job

Byte Commander

:)

Zacharee1

what's this?

SO is finished

grooveplex

@Zacharee1 ?????

Zacharee1

@grooveplex my SE Dark script

guntbert

Need advice about an edit suggestion for a tag wiki - someone proposes a tag eric (a python IDE). The suggestion itself looks good, but do we really need that tag?

Mark Yisri

@Zacharee1 URL of script please??

Zacharee1

19:51

preview.c9users.io/zacharee1/sedark

I'm about to add SE chat to it

Kaz Wolfe

@guntbert are there enough questions about eric?

Mark Yisri

@guntbert why not python-ide?

grooveplex

@guntbert I'm the one who made that edit. I don't think we really need it

Mark Yisri

@Zacharee1 Waiting for permission to proceed.

guntbert

@KazWolfe exactly 1 (one) - thats one reason why I ask

Kaz Wolfe

19:52

@guntbert i'd say find another tag to stick it in

ide and python maybe?

Zacharee1

@MarkYisri OK, chat.se added in

Mark Yisri

@KazWolfe good tag suggestion.

Alright, trying it now @Zacharee1...

guntbert

@grooveplex does that sound good to you?

Mark Yisri

Refreshing page...

@Zacharee1 No difference on chat.

:(

Zacharee1

I haven't actually done anything th chat yet

just AU and SO

I was just adding the referral for the chat CSS into the script

Kaz Wolfe

19:55

Is monospace actually useful?

Nathan Osman

The tag? No.

Kaz Wolfe

i say no, so bye.

Nathan Osman

Waves goodbye to monospace tag...

Kaz Wolfe

Yeah, I'd say replace eric with ide python

actually on that post, eric is not needed

Mark Yisri

@KazWolfe agreed.

Zacharee1

19:57

So I've done all this stuff in cloud9: new files, edited files, etc. How do I push that to Github?

grooveplex

@Zacharee1 git push

Zacharee1

doesn't do anything

Kaz Wolfe

permission to nuke?

grooveplex

@Zacharee1 errors?

Zacharee1

It just says everything is up to date

but none of the files have actually changed

grooveplex

19:59

then it is up to date

um

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 have you added all files and committed all stuff locally?

Nathan Osman

This is now officially the scariest answer on Stack Overflow:

have you commited

@ByteCommander idk
