And if webster's dictionary has definition for it, that's a word

IanC

I don't use it often though. When I see it reminds me of a Nina Simone song (for those who like blues), "ain't got no, I got life"

Serg

package is build, but i don't see updates there

yes !!!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@IanC about the only thing I remember from English classes in school is "ain't ain't a word".

@Serg you've laid the ground work for collective action lawsuit against Webster's filed by my former English teachers!

Zacharee1

Ain't is common, especially in rural areas

it's not an Oxford word, but it's a word

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@IanC I heard about Nina Simone a decade ago I think. Is she Canadian like me?

@Zacharee1 So it ain't common in the cities? :p

I think I'll search all of AU looking for the word "ain't" and changing it to "isn't" just so you can reject my edits :)

IanC

23:13

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I think she is american

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I'll google her and confirm.

IanC

she has tons of great songs :)

the most famous one is "Feelin' good"

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix You have 3k rep. We haven't been able to reject your edits for the past 1k

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Oh she died in 2003... I'm thinking of a younger jazz / pianist... probably chinese canadian and not african american.

@Zacharee1 LOL... I feel so sorry for your frustration :D

I'll ask @NathanOsman how he got his AU shadow website setup so I can quickly search for the word "ain't"...hehe

Serg

@Zacharee1 how are your merges ? are they sorting out ?

( see what i did there ?)

Nathan Osman

23:16

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Huh?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

oops sorry Nathan thought you were sleeping.

Zacharee1

@Serg I already had a headache.... You just made it worse -_-

Nathan Osman

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Nope :D

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Hate to say it but you have to scroll ^^^^ to see what we were talking about... ain't ain't a word.

Serg

@Zacharee1 mission for the day accomplished, you welcome my dear

Zacharee1

23:17

@Serg I honestly thought you were talking about Git

Nathan Osman

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Here's what you're looking for: data.stackexchange.com

You can run SQL queries on the data dump.

Zacharee1

@Serg You sound like you're from India. I can't tell you how many people who speak Hindi or Urdu natively have called me "dear"

Serg

@Zacharee1 I was talking about git a few posts ago, but "merges working out with sorts" is supposed to be a pun on merge sort. Wait till you get to quicksort . . . My puns will get even better ( or worse, depending on your perspective )

Zacharee1

@Serg I actually don't think we're going to be doing that

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Zacharee1 I had to do Merge Sort in ASSEMBLER back in school, maybe I can remember that for you :)

Serg

23:20

@Zacharee1 that's good. Quicksort is too headache-inducing imho . . . Merge sort is far easier to understand. Personally, I prefer gnome-sort , which is sort of better version of bubble sort

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I'm not going to ping him like last time

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix @KazWolfe

@Serg gnome-sort? as in GNOME-sort? :D

Serg

@Zacharee1 nope, has nothing to do with GNOME . . . .thank god for that

WinEunuuchs2Unix

oopsie I wiped out my beautiful ASSEMBLER Merge Sort joke at Kaz.

Zacharee1

@Serg no, really? I thought GNOME made it...

Serg

23:21

Gnome sort

Gnome sort (or Stupid sort) is a sorting algorithm originally proposed by Dr. Hamid Sarbazi-Azad (Professor of Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology) in 2000 and called "stupid sort" (not to be confused with bogosort), and then later on described by Dick Grune and named "gnome sort". It is a sorting algorithm which is similar to insertion sort, except that moving an element to its proper place is accomplished by a series of swaps, as in bubble sort. It is conceptually simple, requiring no nested loops. The average, or expected, running time is O(n2), but tends towards O(n) if...

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix @KazWolfe

@Serg hang on, lemme make it more sarcastic

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Anyway @Zacharee1 from what I remember about Merge Sort you use it when two lists are already in sorted order. If it's one list of unsorted item you are better off with bubble sort.

Nathan Osman

@WinEunuuchs2Unix there, I made an SQL query for you: data.stackexchange.com/askubuntu/query/561761/find-aint

Zacharee1

oh god

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Stop pinging me every two seconds!!!!... My TV sub-woofer is giving me a headache.

Nathan Osman

23:23

^--- basically asking for it :P

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Plus the 100 watts is a waste of electricity and you are contributing to climate change :D

Serg

Oh, no . . .

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix TURN DOWN YOUR SOUND

@WinEunuuchs2Unix PROBLEM SOLVED

WinEunuuchs2Unix

LOL

Serg

I think i lost my .c file with gnome sort implementation

Q: How to make Runescape work on 12.04?

I'm trying to play Runescape on Chromium, but it runs really slowly. I have IcedTea Java from the Software Center. I had to install it for the game to work at all, but it's not playable. Does anyone have some good settings for me to use, or do I need a better way to have Java and Chromium work ...

Zacharee1

@Serg dun. Dun DUNNNNN

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I wish I could change the ping sound in this chat room to something nice like a sweet sexy female voice saying "I Love You"

IanC

All I could think was, "Does runescape still exists?"

Nathan Osman

@WinEunuuchs2Unix You can.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@NathanOsman QUICK... Tell me how!!!!

Nathan Osman

Q: SE Chat custom notification sound

Screenshot / Code Snippet About Someone found the current *beep* sound annoying and asked for a way to change the sound. Such a feature did not exist, so I created this UserScript which adds a button next to the notification settings button. This button opens a popup which allows you to ...

script chat

Serg

T_T

Nathan Osman

You'll have to supply the recording though :P

Zacharee1

@Zanna what was it you wanted to talk about?

@Serg blood? Also, interesting message ID: 33090990

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I wouldn't call that a high "beep" sound, I would call it a low sub-woofer testing "thunk" sound.

Serg

@Zacharee1 that's signifyng my 33k of rep

Zacharee1

23:28

wat

Serg

also , i found it

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@NathanOsman I'll just go around town asking sexy females to say "I Love you" into my smartphone and then upload it.... yeah that'll land me in jail quickly :P

Zacharee1

@Serg yay!

Serg

because i kept printouts of my hw

Zacharee1

now to just transcribe a C program

Serg

23:29

54 lines, easy enough

Zacharee1

so you know how we get a lot of questions here that show a blatant lack of care?

Well how's this for lack of research:

WinEunuuchs2Unix

waits for link on one of his questions

Zacharee1

Someone asked "how can I root" on XDA Forums. This might not be so bad, but they asked it in the thread for KingRoot

WinEunuuchs2Unix

pheww off the hook

Zacharee1

KingRoot! The "One-click root app for almost all devices"

@WinEunuuchs2Unix just you wait

WinEunuuchs2Unix

23:31

hehe... STOP THUNKING ME

It's a 400 dollar sub-woofer and I want it to last.

Zacharee1

OT askubuntu.com/questions/841015/linuxmint-17-3-seems-sluggish

WinEunuuchs2Unix

So what if I picked it up for 80 bucks from Memory Express... It's the thought of retail suggested price that counts.

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix WELL TURN IT DOWN!

Nathan Osman

...or use the script to change it.

Zacharee1

you're literally creating conflict where none is needed

WinEunuuchs2Unix

23:32

I can't turn it down because I'm watching news on TV... US elections and stuff.

Nathan Osman

Stack Overflow chat has a nice pleasant ping.

Just a nice "ding" noise.

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix have you heard of the volume mixer?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

No.

Zacharee1

Try this one notificationsounds.com/message-tones/served-504/download/mp3

(for ping sound)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Your link just downloaded something called "served.mp3"

Zacharee1

23:33

Yeah

don't click it

Fabby

just mute the tab...

Zacharee1

you need to copy it into the userscript config

Fabby

(not pinging you)

Zacharee1

@Fabby Mr. M!

Fabby

sleepless night.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

23:34

Haha send me a link and tell me not to click it... that's funny. I only run .mp3 on my smartphone, I run .ogg on Ubuntu... <<<< I'm musically challenged.

Zacharee1

@Fabby I know that situation well

Fabby

fell asleep and just woke up at01:00

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix you. copy. the. link. to. paste. into. the. script.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

duly noted Fabby and many thanks, how's Angela Merkel today?

Fabby

Hey, I just live here; I don't have the right to vote!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

23:35

ugghhh Zach for crying out loud I'm going to use Nathan's female sexy voice solution anyway.

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix OK

WinEunuuchs2Unix

My neighbours will sue you! hehe

Fabby you can influence the voters by telling them what Canada thinks of her open borders policy to encourage people to drown in the Mediterrean and/or get blocked from progressing past Hungary.

Zacharee1

o_O

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Fabby Angela and the Christian Democratic Party have been in power too long... it's time for change.

Zacharee1

Christian... Democracy?

alrighty

WinEunuuchs2Unix

23:39

It's GermanyZach... they're still licking their wounds

looking for new identity after WWII

I should go there for Octoberfest and teach them how to drink beer :D

@NathanOsman thanks for the link but it has a licensing agreement and references Chromium 12 but I'm on like Chrome 54 or some astronomical number like that.

Ugghh.... watching Al-Jazeera story on Lebanon just now... it's like a giant garbage dump.

Serg

^_^ i'm so happy i found my gnome sort again. I remember when i was studying C it took me quite a few pains and efforts to understand this stuff

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg I'm glad you are in a good mood tonight!

I wonder if @Celtic Warrior knows this chat room exists. I just approved 3 of his edits and he's a very hard worker.

Anyone else notice Owen Hines and Terrace disappeared a week ago?

Serg

23:54

Terrance has work , Owen Hines probably does too

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Owen is in grade 9, I suspect his parents cut off his internet so he could improve his grades in school.

Serg

oh . . . Could be

WinEunuuchs2Unix

He signed up October 4th and in 10 days his month score was higher than mine.

But then I discovered point reporting system and passed him... plus you too :)

But then again I'm just a warehouse receiver with no life and you should focus on your Electrical Engineering degree first and this place second... you'll make 100K+ when you are successful in EE.

I can barely touch 40K as a warehouse receiver.
