@jrg how old is your partner?
jrg
jrg
mainly, i need to spend most of today on the phone finding out if i can get a waver on the minor work law for "emergencies".
@jokerdino oh, he's like late 20s early 30s.
(1 zillion + 2 = myzillion) + 2 = 130...
jrg
jrg
that's not the problem. ;P
@jrg i don't see any emergency here :P
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino it's IT work. I need to be able to log at least 2 hours between 8PM and 6AM three and four times a week. The law doesn't let me do that.
09:02
@Takkat binary. i see your awesomeness right there
jrg
jrg
Notice I don't expect to do that, but I need to be able to log it.
back
Wow, what are you talking about!
Accepting SSH connections only from localhost http://askubuntu.com/q/179325?atw=1 #ssh
jrg
jrg
@njallam Trying to convince the feds that i'm not a child labor slave and that i love my job.
09:03
@jrg erm... great?
jrg
jrg
@njallam i'm joking, but that's the gist of it. ;P
@jrg ah the rules I see.
@jrg OK, kinda making some sense now.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wait, who eats the slash?
OK, confused again
09:05
@Mahesh o/
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino yeah. So it's a sticky problem.
Kill all backslashes!

@jrg You can't bend the rules like we do in India, can you?
@Takkat Nooo.
I guess not.
09:06
morning all
That failed
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino I might be able to do some sort of a family business clause, but that'd require dad joining. We don't have time for that, the deadline for most of the work is in less than 2 weeks.
Ah, time constraint too?
tell me what other complications you have?
it looks like you have a bunch
jrg
jrg
Big time. Our biggest asset is our biggest curse. :p
Nah, that's it. :)
STARS!!!
09:08
@jrg lol "that's it"
jrg
jrg
@Mahesh: Oh my god, the stars!! -- David Bowman
Erm, guys. This doesn't make sense. Why is his rep less than 100?
@njallam Who? David Bowman?
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino hey, you spend 8 blasted hours staring at contracts, business plans, price lists and other related stuff, and then see if you make much sense, even after a good nights sleep. ;p
Sorry, link timed out
that link that I think posted above
09:11
@njallam bounty?
Would that not show as a -?
jrg
jrg
@njallam bounty most likely.
@njallam or he downvoted a lot of answers
"This user has not participated in any bounties."
Would have also show in the rep list
jrg
jrg
Downvotes don't show.
09:12
@jrg haha, i can imagine. it takes one hour of organic chem to get me dizzy
oh.. I thought you were asking him to award a bounty. :P
@jokerdino ONE HOUR!! You deserve some praise..
@Mahesh LOL that's an exaggeration. :P
i probably meant a couple of minutes
Ah! Then all's well
jrg
jrg
09:13
@jokerdino I'd be lucky to last 5 minutes. I'm so weak at the sciences.
At 15/16, my science wasn't that terrible
@njallam downvotes don't show anywhere
He must have downvoted a lot as he has no questions or answers
other than the vote stat
hm i need to prep an answer for populist badge
@jokerdino I though you didn't care about the zillion badges?

Q: Ask Ubuntu Review Tasks (beta)

MitchI think that the new Review Tasks is an excellent idea to clean the system of duplicates, dead questions, low quality, etc.. I have noticed while reviewing, that some answers have already been recommended for deletion by other users, but are still showing up. Is there a reason for that, because...

09:17
I didn't care about the badges that were awarded multiple times.
The one time only gold badges are nice to haves.
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino are you on irc?
@jrg I do.
jrg
jrg
ok
10:06
hey guys
a friend here tried using Tasque.. seems that he is getting a blank white screen instead of the one where you can add items to the to-do list.. any idea how I can rectify this? he hadn't set his backend (I think)
Hm I use taskwarrior and gtg. No tasque.
Too buggy for me.
@jokerdino k I shall ask him to switch then :)
I can provide support for both. Have been using them for quite some time.
10:28
It started out with -1, but People seems to like the idea:

Q: Show total of badge instead of just a tick on badges page

njallamWhen going on the "/badges" page on a StackExchange website. All you are presented with a tick next to badges you have achieved. This in my opinion is perfect for badges that can only be achieved once, but for those you can unlock more than once, e.g. Enlightened. Instead of just showing a...

i haven't voted on that post.
No, that guy in the comments downvoted it
ah okay.
i was just clarifying for my sake.
:)
Kinda annoying that on the overall meta you lose rep for people merely disagreeing with your opinion.
well, you take the risk.
you can play safe and post on child meta
10:34
Well all the site specific wikis
don't do that
The downvote definition is "This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful (click again to undo)"
Which is not really the case on meta
@njallam ^^ not sufficient?
@aking1012 The badges page has a navbar link so it is easier to get to.
The tick can be replaced with a number for convenience
self, badges is still less than 3 clicks which is i think the "good site" guideline. just saying
@aking1012 Well the page exists, it may as well exist well.
@jokerdino taskwarrior is completely command line right? gtg got a GUI ? cos he (my friend) ain't used to terminal commands
10:38
@ShyamK hm yeah.
gtg has a GUI.
task has an alpha gui but it breaks quite often
then I guess that'll be better for him.
alpha gui? how do I access it?
o/ @aking1012
@ShyamK download from taskwarrior.org i think
isn't apt-get enuf?
it's alpha and is not in the repo.
taskwarrior is in repo. but gui is not
@jokerdino o/
10:40
oh.... alright...
i think your friend would be fine with gtg.
ya me too
@aking1012 how ya?
pen testing yet?
@jokerdino not for pay, but i'm still reworking the resume. i've got it down to two pages and still trying to work in a little more data without heavily compromising formatting
@aking1012 ah that's nice.
gd luck
10:42
we'll see
ok dinner time. zz bye
@jokerdino happy munching :P g'nite
11:25
@ShyamK lol i wasn't going off for the night
but i am going off again
ok bye

Chris FitzhenryWow! I had problems with this for a few days - and, even though i do like FLOSS/FOSS philosophy, there are just some things that run better.

A: How do I get a SPC 300nc working on a 64-bit system?

EdwardDon't do it in your 64 bit machine, Ubuntu 12.04! I installed lib32v4l-0 and after some time when I installed Medibuntu from Ubuntu repositories, it removed the 32-bit libs completely, and my sound got completely killed. Only line-in sound works then. I'm right now trying to solve it without form...

Q: Is 100% CPU usage harmful while update-apt-xapi runs?

vasa1(System: 11.10 running Unity 3D) When update-apt-xapi is running, CPU usage stays at 100% (for about a couple of minutes). Is that normal? I understand that the command runs update-apt-xapian-index to update the index of software packages. My question is this: is such high CPU usage for a coupl...

Q: For what purposes is my user id used when sharing a link?

casperOneMy user id on StackOverflow is 50776. I just noticed that when sharing a link, it's appended to the end of any link when I try and get a link for a question/post: I'm curious what purposes this is for (not being a privacy nut either, I'm not concerned). The question arises because if I post ...

Q: What are common canonical questions for our site?

Jacob Johan EdwardsSo according to the Gospel of Spolsky 13:4, a core mission of Stack Exchange communities is to stop re-answering the same questions, and instead build a library of canonical answers. When general duplicates (instances of a problem) arise, we close and refer them to one such answer. For example: ...

correct?
13:57

:)

jrg

jrg
jrg

@SirCharlo Closed duplicates can also serve the positive purpose of helping direct users (who may be searching for information) to the master question.
