@Lazers Why is this still open?
 
9:27 PM
Er
Wh- What?
What is this I don't even
 
@SaintWacko Now he's just trolling.
 
@fbueckert Yeah...
Should that comment be flagged somehow? Or is there anything that can be done?
 
I don't think he liked eating a day ban for spamming here.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, he doesn't seem too happy
 
@SaintWacko Not constructive.
 
9:29 PM
@fbueckert Yep, just saw that and used it

A: How can I increase the density of residential zones?

Robert the SLobertMake sure that you add bananas to the hardcore chicken sauce that forms the cabbage in the left earlobe recipricol of MIke's nose.

 
@SaintWacko Total nonsense
 
@SaintWacko lol
 
Also, I burned
It was only on two questions.
 
@SaintWacko I take it, you just went through his activity as well, yes?
 
@FEichinger Yep
 
9:31 PM
I was about to link the /review for that one, heh.
 
@SevenSidedDie what ever you said, it was right. thank you for trying to help me. you're my hero — axrwkr 1 hour ago
Anyone want to take bets on whether he's also:
 
@SaintWacko I wouldn't go that far.
But if he is, he'll eat a site ban as well as a chat ban.
 
@SaintWacko I doubt it.
 
No? What does it mean in the review thing when it just says "reviewed"?
 
@SaintWacko Did any action that counts as review.
Voted on it, flagged it, commented on it, etc.
Not "No Action Needed" or "Skip", though.
 
9:35 PM
@FEichinger Oh, okay
I just found it suspicious that this robert guy was new today
 
It's quite the coincidence, yeh. But /review'ing your own sock's post takes some dedication (and forethought) to it all, so I'd assume it's just that: Coincidence.
 
@FEichinger Alright, wasn't sure how much effort that would take

I am so incredibly bored
 
@SaintWacko Did not notice. shush
 
9:39 PM
I have been at work for 11 hours so far
 
@Arperum Shush yourself!
 
@SaintWacko Sounds like decent overtime pay
 
@fbueckert Ha
I'm salaried
In other words, I don't get overtime
 
@SaintWacko I was salaried, and still got overtime.
 
@fbueckert Well, you were lucky, then
 
Reasonable amount of flex usually comes with salary; some days you work a little extra, some days you leave early.
 
Well... Unless they've still forgotten to switch me back
 
Now his trolling is disrupting the site.
 
lol
 
9:41 PM
Ha
 
Beat me, you did.
You really must be bored.
 
@fbueckert Yep
@fbueckert I really am
I have nothing to do
@Fluttershy, go flag it as not constructive
 
@SaintWacko Neither do I; I don't even have a job anymore.
 
@fbueckert :(
 
Clearly, @kalina's boredom is contagious.
 
9:42 PM
@FEichinger I wonder if it would also help us to burn things
 
@SaintWacko Meh. Right now, I'm liking it. Getting paid to play video games.
 
@fbueckert Heh
Started the job search yet?
 
@SaintWacko No no no no no No. No. No. NOO. Hell no. No. No. NOO. N.O. No.
 
@SaintWacko Nope. Probably won't until December at the earliest.
 
burns @FEichinger
 
9:42 PM
I need some rest.
 
@SaintWacko ಠ_ಠ
 
@fbueckert Yeah, it sounds like you've been really busy lately
 
@SaintWacko On the plus side, I don't have to deal with Sharepoint anymore!
 
@fbueckert Always a plus
burns ಠ_ಠ

Q: Can I hook my xbox up to my Ubuntu PC

Anonymous JohnMy old xbox 360 won't eject disks, it makes a sound,but won't open. I want to play games, so I think I could hook it up to my PC running Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit and maybe I could use my PC's DVD drive. Can this work at all, or am I just crazy? There is an HDMI port on the back of my graphics card. If...

 
9:44 PM
I think a couple months of living off of our version of unemployment insurance is just the ticket to help me out.
 
Swapping my CPU and memory should just be a plug-and-play job, right?
 
@Yuki That depends on what you're switching from and to, and your OS.
 
I'm switching from i3 to i7 and I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.
 
@Yuki CPU includes reapplying thermal paste and the CPU cooler
 
@MadScientist Other than that, is there anything I need to do before starting?
I want to make sure I have everything clear before I touch anything.
 
9:48 PM
@Yuki Make sure the motherboard can handle the new CPU and RAM.
 
Read up on how push pins work, if you do it wrong the whole thing is incredibly frustrating
 
CPU, especially; if it can't, then you just bought a paperweight.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, I checked the compatibility at home and then again at the store.
 
I'd update the bios before that, sometimes updates are for later CPUs
 
Asus P8P67 LE should be able to handle an Intel Core i7, right?
The socket fits, I made sure of that before buying.
TIL They've stopped making CPUs for my socket.
Or at least that's what the guy at the store told me. ಠ_ಠ
 
9:52 PM
There. Comment deleted.
 
Sigh
The drama starts tonight I guess
 
@kalina Ugh :/
 
I just walked out on his gf bitching and I'm going to sleep instead
Woe unto her if she follows me in here
 
@kalina ♪In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the drama starts toniiiiiiiiight♬
 
Damn.
 
9:58 PM
Oh. Boy. Looks like I need to update my BIOS.
This looks like it's going to suck be crazy good fun.
 
@Yuki Welcome to the world of computer upgrades.
 
Okay, anything else I need to check...?
 
@Yuki do you have the boxed version with a new cooler? The new CPUmight have a higher TDP and need a bigger one
 
@MadScientist I... think I have a cooler in this box. I don't want to open and check it because of the store's "open-it-no-returns" policy.
It should have a cooler. The packaging is too big to contain only a CPU.
 
@Yuki The packaging is never too big to contain only a CPU.
 
10:05 PM
@Yuki if you have a box with an intel logo on it and not just a very small package, you have a cooler in it
 
@MadScientist All right, that's good.
Anything I need to do in particular with Windows?
 
The tricky part are the push pins, make sure ethe white part is through the main board before you push on them, or it'll get very annoying
 
Okay, someone just cereal'd me on AU ...
 
posted on November 09, 2013

We have completed our upgrade from SQL 2012 SP1 to SQL 2014 CTP 2 on both clusters. All servers are operating normally. We will keep a close eye on them over the weekend and as we pick up peak load during the week. The total upgrade process took approximately 2 hours (including OS updates and time for health checks). The total external downtime for each service was between 10 and 20 seconds fo

 
Should I install them one at a time and start up the computer in between to check or should I do it all in one fell swoop?

Q: dark souls equivalent keys xbox-> pc

franco1206I'm playing the pc-version of dark souls, does anybody knows what is the equivalent of "rs" for the pc-keyboard? thanks

 
@Lazers Dupe
 
10:22 PM
Stupid ASUS not telling me how to flash/update the BIOS for their own motherboards.

^ is that even possible?
 
@Braiam Well, certainly not through the HDMI port.
But, theoretically, I suppose there's some way to make the two communicate like that. But it's also well outside of our scope (for both AU and Arqade), I'm afraid.

Q: What statement means max friendship?

ezekielIn pokemon x the girl in laverre city, what does she say when the happiness is maxed out? When I talk to her she says "its amazingly friendly toward you! It must be so happy spending every day with you!" I'm assuming that means max friendship but not sure.

 
So... if my BIOS update file thingy is a ROM file format, I need burn it onto a bootable CD/DVD?

Q: What is this called?

Charkz The 4 perks I've highlighted in Red, what is that called now in BF4? Is it the battle order? Also how is it lost? I've sometimes kept this at 2/4 or 4/4 perks for several lifes and sometimes lost it straight away. What effects it's duration?

 
11:12 PM
With all this newfound free time, I think I might actually pick up KOTOR 3 again.
 
@Yuki "ROM" is pretty broad, but generally the ROM image would be what actually gets written to the BIOS EEPROM. The instructions should say how to install it.
 
(a bootable CD i'd expect to get in ISO format)
@fbueckert wait, KOTOR 3?
 
@ToxicFrog aka. the F2P MMO.
 
Any metroidvania fans should grab Operation Smash while it's featured on IndieGameStand. $1 gets you a Desura key and a Steam key if it gets greenlit.
 
11:24 PM
@fbueckert isn't that just TOR/SW:TOR?
 
@ToxicFrog There weren't any instructions in the .zip file and their link for flashing the BIOS points to a page for a "how to identify your BIOS version".
 
@ToxicFrog Yeah, it is.
I just call it KOTOR 3
 
@Yuki Helpful. What was in the zip?
 
@ToxicFrog The ROM file.
And that was it. Period.
 
@fbueckert That isn't KOTOR 3. >_>
 
11:26 PM
@Yuki Huh. What motherboard?
 
@ToxicFrog ASUS P8P67 LE.
 
@fbueckert Disregard. I hadn't refreshed yet. <_<
 
@Yuki oh, that one's quite recent - I think you can just put it on a USB key or burn to CD, boot into the BIOS configurator, and then there's an option to upgrade in there
 
@ToxicFrog All right. I'm tearing out hairs trying to make sure my CPU upgrade goes as smoothly and safely as possible. I freaked when I found out I needed to update my BIOS.
 
It might even be able to get it off the HDD if it's recent enough.
 
11:33 PM
if its an asus, aisuite should handle the bios update for you
 
So... update the BIOS and then I can swap out my CPU?
Anything else I need to do?
 
probably not, its mainly a bios thing
 
@JourneymanGeek Doesn't apply to me, I think. The models supported seem to be all P9 series while mine is P8.
 
ahh
mine's a p8z77
 
All righty. Let's do this.
crosses fingers
 
11:37 PM
I did SOMETHING similar when troubleshooting my motherboard
(turns out, I bent a few pins T T)
 
user15026
flops
 
Hrump, so I didn't notice the NA 3DS charger accepts only 120V, unlike most chargers these days accepting 110V-230V
Didn't cause it to catch fire or anything when I tried plugging it in, thankfully
@AshleyNunn flip flop
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy Yeeeah. I didn't want to have to bother using my stepdown converter so I just bought an EU one.
 
@AshleyNunn cuddles
 
Okay, BIOS update SUCCESS! Phew!
 
11:47 PM
INSERT THE REACTOR CORE!
I mean the new processor.

@ToxicFrog snugs

I am debating if caramel corn + peanut brittle counts as dinner
 
@AshleyNunn Enough caramel corn & peanut brittle will count as dinner.
 
@AshleyNunn Did that Alex Roe download work for you?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice yep :)
 
11:50 PM
Cool, so you got everything from it?
Gonna take it down, then, my dropbox is fullish
 
user15026
yeah
 
@LoganM You feel familiar.
 
@AshleyNunn It probably doesn't, but it does count as delicious
 
user15026
@ToxicFrog There is that
 
user15026
I am just lazy as balls and I have both things from christmas bazaar sales today
 
11:58 PM
Does anyone use a gamepad -> 360 pad input emulator on PC? I need one for my PS4 controller (the stuff I have for PS3 controllers is no good for it)
