Dawww GitHub, don't be sorry. My sanity is safe thanks to your strict time limits
oh lord
Careful with that kerning, Walmart. It's just a what away? http://fuckyeahkeming.com/image/28979926598
 
@badp I get that too
 
I'm on a retweet spree today.
 
@badp Hehe
 
@badp Basically it's a project that takes periodic snapshots of a headless Webkit instance, which can then be used as a wallpaper
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone BUT CAN YOU OPEN FOLDERS AS YOUR DESKTOP BACKGROUND WITH IT?
then it's not as awesome as Active Desktop.
Sorry.
 
12:04 AM
Uh... well, it's not interactive, since the wallpapers are still images
 
@FAE Invites weren't needed - but where can I see the amount of time left before you run out of your monthly allowance?
 
FAE
@badp Unsure off the top of my head. I don't use it that often.
 
Oh, yes, before I forget. Little Twilight seeing or making Cadance and Shining Armor falling in love is strictly non-canon.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Thank you so much for pointing that out. My 'shipping diagram was getting all messed up by the update!!
@Retrosaur @Powerlord Wubi and 12.04: askubuntu.com/a/125163/1938
 
@badp Only noobs use shipping diagrams. I gots me a shipping relational database
 
12:13 AM
@BenBrocka Relational databases only work well when your shipping diagram resembles a sparse matrix
'shipping diagrams nowadays are best stored in matrixes.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone nowkiss.jpg
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone So very much Twilight.
 
Please note that the 'shipping diagram in that page is inadequate by today's standards by failing to accomodate reflexive 'ships.
It's also gasp symmetric! Oh dear, this won't do.

Q: What is the exact time on Minecraft that is sunrise?

Shadow ZorgonWhat time does the sun rise on Minecraft? I would like to know because I am building a map where it needs that time for the mission.

 
12:22 AM
Running Ubuntu for 10 seconds reminded me of exactly why Desktop Linux is a bunch of fail.
 
@Powerlord ?
Why's that?
 
I learned to dual boot and install linux and stuff and tried out Fedora briefly in college. It was fun to learn how, but the OS itself was pretty much just windows but faster but otherwise worse
 
@Ullallulloo When I leave all the settings at their defaults and then try to follow directions, and the very first direction tells me to try running something in the system settings that isn't there, it's full of fail.
Specifically, this was to install the nVidia graphics drivers.
Which tells me to go to System Settings, Additional Drivers. On Ubuntu 12.10. Which is what I was running. Which doesn't exist.
And this is an official guide on the official Ubuntu site.
Don't even get me started about how there's a 64-bit version of Steam, but the only way to install it requires me to sign up for a Canonical account
(The steam site gives you the 32-bit version, which fails on 64-bit Linux)
While we're on the subject of 64-bit, I'd rather install the 32-bit version, but the wubi installer doesn't give you a choice and installs the 64-bit version of whichever version I choose.
 
@Powerlord Are you sure you weren't on the 10.04 page or something?
 
A 110 MB Steam update? Ugh...
 
12:51 AM
@Powerlord That's Valve's fault not Canonical's.
They listed it as a free purchase, not just free.
Most stuff like VLC doesn't require an account.
Although that's probably due to some clause where non-purchases have to be open source or something.
 
That's odd. I don't remember ever needing to log into Software Center
I didn't even know you could
@namespace url(w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("chat.stackexchange.com") {
    .ignored {
        display: none !important;
    }
}
@kalina ^ userstyle to remove ignored users from the list. To unignore users you'd have to go to your own user page and look under the prefs tab
 
"You are not ignoring anyone." That's what you think.
 
Now that there's more than one versions of "Windows Phone" out there, can we rename the tag to just ?
 
1:19 AM
Stupid Linux ATI drivers and their line 561 segmentation fault.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That sounds backwards.
 
@GraceNote Well no, you don't see or tags out there do you
 
Ooh, there's a patch that you can download that will supposedly fix it.
 
...then I'm confused as to why we were specific before we had more than one version to worry about.
 
It says it will be deployed next patch too...
 
1:26 AM
@GraceNote Maybe because when Windows Phone 7 first started the old Windows Mobile OS (version 6.5 and below) was still relevant (though I don't think we ever had a question about it)
 
Yay! Updating drivers is fun! </sarcasm>
 
Then a rename seems pretty appropriate. Especially if we have no reason to distinguish.
 
Oh god, please say this fixes my XBMC audio issues
 
/cc @fbueckert and other bearded individuals.
 
1:49 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I approve
 
Goats yelling like humans. Yup.
 
2:27 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ok, did not see that twist coming.
 
Me neither. Nonetheless, it is a twist I approve of.
 
I'm about one reply away from NARQing this question:

Q: Does overclocking the usb polling rate for a mouse have any side effects?

emmettI have a 125mhz simple Microsoft mouse and have been using it overclocked at 500mhz. However I seem to face a little mouse lag. Is this possible? Can overclocking mice cause lag problems?

 
2:49 AM
I am surprised at how good System Shock 2 looks all these years later.
 
Man, Shock 2 was great.
Have you ever tried the multiplayer?
The game mechanics totally break down when there are 4 players running around, and it's buggy as hell, but it was really fun back in the day.
 
Ho, friends!
@LessPop_MoreFizz Have you ever heard of a Hopslam?

Q: Is there a ready-to-go Steam Linux distribution iso?

EarlzNot sure this belongs here or super user, but Steam recently made it to official release status for Linux. Are there any distributions yet of an instantly bootable Flashdrive image or something with Steam? Something like Ubuntu or something but with Steam and it's dependencies prepackaged and rea...

Ahh, Fire Emblem. You amuse me so.

3:28 AM
@fbueckert I love some of the support conversations.
 
3:41 AM
@RavenDreamer Yes!
That's Bells annual limited supply super IPA
@Brant It's on GOG now!
 
I know! I'm waiting for it to hit Steam.
Or for me to figure out where the hell my old CD is.
 
Is it just me, or are we getting people upvoting crap here, too?
 
@fbueckert eh?
 
One upvote isn't anything to worry about.
 
3:45 AM
@fbueckert People have always upvoted crap.
 
But yeah, wat lol?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I think the review queues have made it more blatant, due to the badge hunters.
 
@fbueckert That's a rant, not an answer.
 
@Fluttershy Very true.
 
FYI, System Shock 2: Still scary as fuck after all these years.
Even at the very start, a Hybrid sneaking up on me scared the living shit out of me.
 
3:48 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Bioshock was kind of an indirect sequel to those games, wasn't it?
 
@Fluttershy Yeah.
Let me tell you a little story...
 
@Fluttershy a spiritual successor, yeah.
But Bioshock is like... maybe 20% as good as SS2.
Also, it has none of the visceral terror and paranoia that makes SS2 so great.
Also, SHODAN > Ryan.
 
So it's 2003, and I dragged myself all the way across the northeast in a car for UVALAN 5, a big Tribes LAN party in West Virginia.
 
TBQH, when it comes to villains, SHODAN > *
 
Hm... I can't really play scary games... <_<
 
3:49 AM
@Fluttershy You should make an exception for this one.
Keep the lights on.
 
At the time, Tribes 2 was the newest game in the series and was going through a bit of a revival in the community with the news that Irrational Games was working on a sequel, Tribes: Vengeance… and Ken Levine was going to be there.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You're underestimating my fear of scary games. I couldn't even play Silent Hill 2 in a room with all lights on and three other people watching. >_>
 
They were going to show off the internal, not-for-public gameplay demo that they used to pitch the game to publishers.
 
Hell, even Bioshock, playing with a friend, I had to stop every hour.
 
At one point there was a Q&A session, and I was That Guy Who Asks A Totally Unrelated Question: "Is there any way we're ever going to see System Shock 3?"
He muttered something vague and hand-wavy about always wanting to go back to that series, and having some ideas for what Irrational would plan to do, or something something let's get back to Tribes already.
And a few years later, BAM! BioShock is announced.
So: You're welcome.
 
3:52 AM
@Brant That's a pretty lame story tbqh
 
I met Ken Levine and you didn't, so no, it was an awesome story. :P
(Yeah, I know, it's lame)
 
user15026
I am blowing up Kerbals and I feel like the worst person alive
2
 
The better story is probably how me and two other people drove for 26 straight hours to get there, and again to get back to Winnipeg
(NEVER AGAIN)
 
@AshleyNunn You should play System Shock and then feel like an awesome person. insignificant little insect before SHODAN.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I suspect it will scare me forever
 
3:56 AM
@AshleyNunn You say this like that is not the point.
 
@AshleyNunn After about a dozen rockets, you tend to grow calluses over the horror.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I like to sleep eventually, and I live alone!
 
user15026
@fbueckert They're SO cute though
 
And happily, there's nothing in game that keeps track of your lifetime Kerbal deaths.
Because I think my body count would be somewhere in the hundreds or thousands.
Critical damage is proportional to attack speed but that is already taken into account for DPS. If 2 weapon have the same DPS, and same critical chance, critical damage will improve the 2 weapons at the same rate. However, increase weapon damage will improve the faster weapons more. — Jim Thio 15 mins ago
LOOK WHO'S BACK, GUYZ!
We missed you, Jim!
 
@fbueckert I didn't.
Have you seen his various websites?
 
4:01 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was being incredibly sarcastic.

Q: Can rep features have a lower requirement count?

GeloDCastroid9Can you please lower the amount of rep requirements for us newer users? The rep requirement for some features (cough like downvotes and comments) shouldn't be so high. Thanks!

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I had one the other week.
It was pretty good.
 
6 upvotes vs. 5? Eh, that's not so bad.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I give you props for "triumvirate"
 
@Brant was 7-4 when last I looked,
 
4:05 AM
Also damn you I'm hungry now.
 
@RavenDreamer Hopslam falls into a the hops arms race that I just can't bring myself to care about too much.
 
Researching various sandwiches at 10pm on Wikipedia. Argh.
 
It's like, I get it. You like making really bitter beers that wreck palates. Your beer is the most bitter. Until someone else tops your IBU count next year. Grats I guess.
@Brant ITALIAN BEEF
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds like an amazing sandwich
 
@AshleyNunn It is a Chicago Thing.
I am not from Chicago, but have been often enough to be aware of this.
 
4:08 AM
YESSSSSSSSSS
 
user15026
@Brant I want that in my face

@AshleyNunn I also would have starred for "mouth".
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer ...oh people
 
I'm rather annoyed that all the university spam mail I've been getting are from Singapore's second best university
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone overachiever.
 
4:12 AM
Ok, if this question doesn't get any clarification by the time I get up tomorrow, I'm NARQing it.
 
Given that for the purpose of this conversation Singapore only has two universities, not really
 
@fbueckert if it wasnt so why would I tag cs:go? — emmett 2 hours ago
 
I hate this
 
@fbueckert The new one that just came out in America? Any good?
 
I hate all of this
 
4:14 AM
I'm reading that to mean that it is exclusive to CS:GO.
 
I'm having so much trouble getting Steam to run on Linux so I can get a damned Penguin
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer I like it, but I am completely new to FE, so I don't know what makes a good FE game
 
@Fluttershy Hmm. I didn't get that interpretation at all.
 
Oh and fun fact, I run CSGO at 40 fps on the lowest settings, and I run TF2 at 10 fps at the lowest settings
 
@RavenDreamer Very much so.
 
4:15 AM
@fbueckert Well, you asked "Does this only happen in CS:GO" and he said "If it wasn't so, why would I" etc. That's just how I'm interpreting it.
 
@AshleyNunn I actually couldn't finish the wii one.
 
It takes itself much less seriously that the others.
 
From the question @AshleyNunn asked character permadeath is now optional, is it?
 
@Fluttershy That's a valid interpretation. Alright, I can leave it alone.
If he clarifies and says it's not specific to CS:GO, though, I reserve the right to off-topic it. :P
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yep. Casual mode means they don't die forever
 
4:18 AM
> Can you write out your answer so that it's legible? We aren't a forum; proper grammar is somewhat important here.
Is that too harsh?
> get 2 refresher orbs on zeus. use ult, use orb, ult. excchange orb for orb on floor or courier. use ult again. triple ult gg wp
The answer in question.
 
@Fluttershy I figured that was the one.
 
You're talking to a LOL player
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Wrong.
 
I'd say leave out the forum part, but otherwise, it's good.
 
It's Dota 2. They are different.
 
4:20 AM
Not different enough, apparently
 
@RavenDreamer @YiJiang'sEvilClone is comparing us to Dota playerrrrrs! whiiiiiiiiiiine
 
has revoked Yi Jiang's Evil Twin 's credentials.
 
Linux suckx
 
yes, all of them.
 
JK IM SORRY
 
4:21 AM
 
Shame there's a typo. =P
 
IM SORRY @YiJiang'sEvilClone
 
Huh. I have… More Linux games than I thought I would.
 
@BRANT HOW DID YOU DO IT
 
Nooooooooooooooooo
 
4:21 AM
PLEASE TELL ME HOW DID YOU DO IT
 
@Fluttershy I have MMO bug. I'm afraid. Hold me tight, don't let me get sucked in! D:
 
Oh no wait, I don't have an evil twin, only an evil clone
 
An Ubuntu VM?
No idea if TF2 will actually run or anything.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ah, gets cut off in my browser. Too lazy to confirm. :P
 
Anyway, off to bed whilst TF2 downloadinates
 
4:25 AM
I bet all of you guys this
Valve is working with Stack Exchange by making their Steam software on Linux really buggy to make more questions on AskUbuntu.SE
 
user15026
@Fluttershy @ktash found those Christopher Moore books you recommended yesterday. Going to try the first one in a bit, once my tea is made
 
@AshleyNunn I think he recommended those. =P I recommended Tim Dorsey.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I found that one too :)
 
@AshleyNunn Woo! Just a heads up, that's book #8-ish in a series of books about the main character. But I don't think there's any real continuity issues.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy And if there is, I can always seek out the others :)
 
4:38 AM
@AshleyNunn This is true. I just really like the character in Dorsey's stuff. He's a serial killer, but he's very creative about it. <_<
 
user15026
@Fluttershy That does sound fascinating
 
user15026
What's the first book?
 
> He inserts a funnel in the man's rectum, pours a liberal amount of rum into the funnel and into the man's colon, then corking up his victim with a bar of soap. He then releases the victim who runs screaming for help down the street. Because the alcohol is absorbed rapidly through the colon walls, the man quickly becomes increasingly intoxicated, and pedestrians laugh at him as merely being drunk. eventually he is unable to speak or stand, and collapses in an alcohol-induced coma, and dies.
@AshleyNunn Florida Roadkill
 
user15026
@Fluttershy ....
 
@AshleyNunn Yep. The guy was spying on him. <_<
 
user15026
4:40 AM
@Fluttershy That is horrifying and amazing all at once
 
@AshleyNunn That's not even the most creative one.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I think I have to read these eventually.
 
user15026
Damn you, Bride denizens stop giving me new things to reaaaaaad
 
4:54 AM
Just got kicked from the FTB server because "Flying is not enabled"...? How has that never come up before?
 
Cantankerous Mercury's bloodthirsty candy corn! My lung is quivering like a egg!
I... have no idea what the fuck I was on when I tweeted that.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was going to ask where that came from.
 
@AshleyNunn I have no clue. It was 6 years ago
In my country, is no copyright law. Will you show me to copy DVD? </russianaccent>
^ I do however, vividly remember this asshole.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz ....what.
 
The shit I used to put up with when I worked at Apple. :/
@AshleyNunn That's a verbatim quote.
 
user15026
5:01 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also, my first instinct on reading that was to actually look up Russian copyright laws.
 
What do you mean it's not on sale. It's memorial day. Thats unpatriotic, and i'll be telling my veterans group not to shop here.
I remember that jerk too.
 
user15026
Sounds like you encountered some special people
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Are you into FOALS?
Probs not.
But they came out with a new album and IT'S HEAVY. THERE'S HEAVY STUFF IN IT.
but it's also pretty inconsistent.
 
@Mana Not crazy about them, but don't dislike.
@Mana Did you hear about the Paul Banks Rap Album?
@AshleyNunn To say the least.
Guy buying iPod shuffle: "I lift weights. I listen to techno. I have 10 songs and they all sound the same. This was _made_ for me."
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz everybody on my dick like they should be?
 
user15026
5:05 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...what.
 
I've helped 7 people today. Yelled at by 5. Cursed at by 4. Lied to by 3. Thanked by only 2. And swung at by 1.
It was a terrible job.
@Mana Yes.
 
I still remember a customer I helped who, upon seeing a portable TV, said, "Is that one o' them miniaturized teevees?" To which I replied, "Yes it is." His reaction? "Huh... They sure do a lot of differ'nt stuff with stuff don't they?"
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, it sounds pretty miserable
 
Anyways, going home.
peace bros
 
user15026
@Fluttershy ...different...stuff...with...stuff.
 
5:07 AM
@AshleyNunn My initial reaction was to think, "Well... Truer words have never been spoken, I suppose..." since it was such an all-encompassing statement.
Like... deep, man... Deep.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy You have a point there. Although I suspect that isn't where he was going with that.
 
@AshleyNunn Probably not.
I also remember selling a bottle of ammonia to a couple of meth addicts... That's all they came to this giant grocery store to buy... Ammonia.
 
user15026
I had very few impressive customer stories working at Tim Hortons. It was a small town, lots of tourists, the odd horse and buggy in the drive thru...
 
First Thought=Best Thought only really works when you're so full of drugs that your second thought is likely to be either Cheetos or Jesus.

Q: What are the order of tauntkills, from fastest to slowest?

RetrosaurQuestion says it all. I'm trying to create a montage of tauntkills. What are the fastest tauntkills, and to which class do they belong to?

 
Apparently a meteorite crashed in the Chelyabinsk region in Russia.
 
user15026
. How much damage?
 
6:37 AM
Wow!
 
@AshleyNunn No idea. But it was a pretty loud explosion.
 
7:06 AM
Fast-forward to 1:10 and watch from that. Looks pretty awesome.
 
7:38 AM
So the other day on r/mylittlepony I saw a link to a guide on "How to hyponotise yourself to be a pony"
It sounded utterly, incredibly insane and stupid. Which is of course why I had to try it.
 
7:58 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I actually have that doc open in a tab right now, but I haven't tried it yet
did it work?
 
8:21 AM
Nope.
The pre-hypnosis "relax everything and clear your mind" thing did, though. I think I should pick up meditation
Of course, I'm really not sure what was "suppose" to happen, but given that I didn't feel any difference afterwards I'd say it really didn't work as intended
 
9:02 AM
Morning all, I do rather like it here :O
 
@murgatroid99 No harm in trying it anyway, though. It's only 18 minutes. Just remember that this is used by role players, so some of the suggestions might be a bit weird if you're not... into that stuff
 
9:35 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You just forgot it all
If you check the news there's actually a report about a guy galloping through Singapore, leaving a trail of destruction behind him
 
> Strange man spotted streaking through Singapore streets naked on all fours
 
(Did the guide include the essential step of permanent marking a cutie mark on your thigh?)
 
Oh dear...
@badp Actually, all there is to it is downloading a 18 minute long audio file, finding somewhere quiet and comfortable, lie down, close your eyes and listen to it
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone goddamn videogames! When will somebody ban them already!
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Dude. You should've made the cutie mark first. It's, like, obvious.
I suggest $()
jQuery Cutie Mark Plugin
 
Yeah... no
 
9:50 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone this wasn't called Windows Phone though
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ta for this
 
I'm not very sure why the tag had the version number
No harm in removing it now though
 
old platform was called Windows Mobile
 
Windows Phone Mobile Phone 7!
 
mobile window phone 7 compact edition mobile
"based on NT technology"
 
I still can't get over the fact that I have to refer to my phone as a "Windows Phone 7 Phone"
 
9:54 AM
I just say Windows Phone
 
BUT WHICH VERSION!!?
 
yesterday @agent made a simcity → simcity-2013 tag synonym
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I went ahead and fixed it. You are welcome.
 
The questions are still tagged with
Wait, where did that box at the top of the tag page with the tag info go?
@badp Uh... what did the "fix" entail?
 
9:58 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I swapped the synonym
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I guess the site doesn't like it when you press the "swap" button?
Go file a report on meta
 
Uh, you file. I have no idea what magical mod powers you invoked here.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone getting a 404 too
badp + things broken sounds like a normal day tbh
 
Works here.
-2013 is broken tho
 
10:07 AM
blame @badp
 
ok :D
 
In an amusing turn of events, I ended up having sausage casserole with my housemate and his boyfriend last night
 
that could be taken in a number of ways...
;)
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's your problem for not having magical mod powers.
 
@djsmiley2k I prefer to take sausage casserole orally :-|

10:18 AM
You had every opportunity to get magical mod powers and you never ever tried. So I get to blame you for that!
 
@fredley phew., thats a relief :)
 
@badp I... I... I have failed! *bursts into tears*
WHY? WHY?? WHHH-HHHHYYYY-YYYY???
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone there there, now let the meta reps console you
go grab meta reps
 
Oh fine, I'll file
 
@badp Meta reps are like empty calories
 
10:25 AM
@fredley flags as heretic
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It is dangerous to go alone. Here, take this:
 
@fredley The meaningless Internet points on this site is more meaningless than the meaningless Internet points on this other site!
 
There's even a freehanded hand for your convinience
 
@badp That's a terrible hand and you should feel terrible.
 
@fredley begone, HERETIC and ENEMY OF THE GOOD ARTS.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone So meaningless it almost becomes meaningful again? No.
 
10:27 AM
This room is cleansed again. Let us celebrate with the ballad of the freehanded circle.
♫ oy, oyyyyyyyyyyy; oy oy oyyyyyyyyyyy ♫

Q: Pearl Weapons vs Destroyer Weapons

FrhayLooking at GW2DB (and other crafting tools) recipes I found out at higher levels two categories of level 80 exotic weapons. Let's pick an example: Cleric's Pearl Sabre and Cleric's Destroyer Sword Looking at the stats they are the same: 904-1000 weapon power, +64 power, +90 healing, +64 toughne...
