why are cats obsessed with knocking things over?

Chippies

6:04 PM

@Rapitor I had a cat who would knock things over to get attention

Kevin van der Velden

Because humans are such poor decorators

@Chippies Yep. My cat often bats at stuff on my desk, and when it falls off, runs away.

Q: Kerbal Space Program - Can I transfer Parts to another in-orbit vessel?

I have a few satellites and stations orbiting my planets, but I'd like to add onto them.

@Frank i would play that

Frank

@MattGiltaji It looks neat, yeah.

Chippies

@Frank my cat would climb on shelves and knock something off, wait for someone to come over, if no one came, she'd drop something else

@Chippies Mine's learned that she doesn't belong on shelves.

Chippies

if there was someone within her sight, she would look straight in the eye and wait for a reaction

Matt Giltaji

6:06 PM

@TimStone -1 for wasting rum

GnomeSlice

@TimStone I get it.

Chippies

if that person started moving toward her, she'd jump off and run

@Frank we got that cat off the street, but she was still a street cat, she spent more time outside than inside. We ended up giving her away to relatives outside of the city. She ran away and they see her around every now and then. Once a street cat - always a street cat.

Chippies

@tombull89 those are some unconventional monitors used in that setup

tombull89

@Chippies 3x 8K. Because 4K isn't good enough.

Matt Giltaji

6:10 PM

@tombull89 i don't see the problem. i wish i had three monitors

Frank

@MattGiltaji It's fun trying to figure out what to use them for.

Chippies

@tombull89 I'm more interested in what kind of PC can do anything more than run office software on it

Unionhawk

3x 8k is insane

Matt Giltaji

@Frank at work, outlook in one, browser in another, code in the third

tombull89

@Chippies you'd probably want a PC with 4x GTX Titan X's in Quad SLI to use it.

GnomeSlice

Frank

@MattGiltaji You get 2 out of the four for my home setup.

Chippies

@tombull89 I'm not sure if that would be enough to do anything more than casual indie gaming though

cloudymusic

tombull89

6:12 PM

@Chippies 4x 12GB of VRAM?

Chippies

@tombull89 still 12GB in SLI

SLI doesn't add up the amount of VRAM

they all have to mirror the vram

tombull89

well, show you how often I have multiple graphics cards :D

(i.e. never)

Chippies

@tombull89 I have never had multiple graphics cards either and knowing these things just helps me abstain from it :P

MBraedley

I am slowly going crazy, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 switch.

Unionhawk

Reminds me, I need to double check some stuff. Pretty sure Java has selected integrated graphics again

cloudymusic

6:14 PM

the only time I've ever been tempted to go SLI is when it would let you run at up to 1024x768 with Voodoo 2's

but even then I still didn't go for it

Kevin van der Velden

I'm fairly sure that's a different SLI

cloudymusic

yeah the acronym technically stands for something different but it's a similar concept

= buying more than one video card like some sort of crazy person

Kevin van der Velden

Heh

Unionhawk

I'd be happy with a not laptop as my next computer personally

cloudymusic

After spending a few years on laptops, building a new desktop PC was really nice

Unionhawk

6:20 PM

One desktop card would still be a major upgrade

MBraedley

@Unionhawk I'm still of the opinion, at least for gamers, that a laptop should be a a secondary machine at best.

Unionhawk

Yes

Chippies

@MBraedley have you seen those 980M SLI laptops?

or even those very slim 970M SLI laptops

Kevin van der Velden

That's not really a laptop as putting it on your lap would crush your bones

MBraedley

@Chippies No, but 980M means it's really more like a 960

Now a 960 SLI setup would still crush my current single 760

Chippies

6:22 PM

@MBraedley 970M in SLI is as fast as 980 desktop, faster in some games

Kevin van der Velden

Non functional in others

Chippies

wccftech.com/…

there are other sources as well, but this is the first one I found

MBraedley

@Chippies Which just proves my point. If 970M SLI isn't much better than a single 980, think what a desktop SLI setup can do.

Chippies

@MBraedley having a 980 puts you in enthusiast group, having 980 in SLI is beyond what a regular gamer needs

most gamers still game on 1080p monitors

cloudymusic

That's also at 1080p, and I thought that the 980's biggest benefits came when you ran at 1440 or higher

Chippies

6:25 PM

even 1440p can easily be run on single gpu's

MBraedley

@Chippies But what I'm saying is that 960 SLI can probably beat 980M SLI

Chippies

@MBraedley but laptops are portable

MBraedley

@Chippies But they shouldn't be your primary gaming machine.

Kevin van der Velden

So are desktops

Chippies

@MBraedley depends on your needs

tombull89

6:26 PM

@Chippies some are bloody heavy though

Chippies

I'm just saying that a gaming laptop as a primary machine is a very viable option nowadays

@tombull89 this one's 3kg

MBraedley

@Chippies Unless you're travelling >50% for work, you don't need a laptop as a primary gaming machine. That's the reality. Desktops, in the long run, are cheaper and superior to laptops.

tombull89

My first machines I bought was a laptop, mainly because I didn't have the room in my bedroom for a desk.

Chippies

still a lot for a laptop, but it's more powerful than average gamers desktop

Chippies

6:28 PM

my laptop is 3.9kg

and it's not half as powerful as that one

tombull89

I made sure it had a dedicated graphics card, and it ran what I wanted it to well (granted, it was mainly Battlefield 2142) but it was no match for the desktop I built after.

Chippies

@MBraedley but if need a laptop (and very often you do), and you need a gaming rig, you can compromise and get both in one

laptop gpu's have gone a LONG way in the last couple years

Frank

Sadly, the next Breath of Fire game is a mobile app, but if that's what it takes to bring back the series, I'm all for it.

murgatroid99

@Chippies If you don't need a powerful laptop, you might be able to get a powerful desktop and a cheap laptop for less than the cost of the gaming laptop

My Chromebook cost about $300, and I'm pretty sure I could build a gaming PC for $300 less than it would cost to buy an equivalently powerful laptop

Chippies

@murgatroid99 when I was looking for a laptop, anything with a 900p/1080p screen was close or over a 1000$

murgatroid99

6:33 PM

@Chippies I guess it depends on what you need a laptop for

Chippies

for me at the time of purchase, a laptop was just a better option than a PC anyway

murgatroid99

@Chippies $300 1080p Chromebook

Chippies

@murgatroid99 404

@Chippies Really? Can someone else check that link?

Matt Giltaji

@murgatroid99 chromebook is pretty nice, it just sucks that you can't install anything on it

404 even in incognito

murgatroid99

6:37 PM

That's what I was trying to link to

Chippies

@murgatroid99 I wouldn't know what to do with a chromebook

Tim Stone

The 404 is the price you pay for being non-Americans.

murgatroid99

@Chippies What do you do with a laptop?

Chippies

all those specs don't mean much to me, since you can't install anything on it anyway

@murgatroid99 I do everything with it, it's my main rig for now

Matt Giltaji

@Chippies yeah chromebook can't be your primary machine

murgatroid99

6:39 PM

@Chippies This conversation started with the suggestion that your main rig doesn't have to be a laptop

Chippies

a laptop is just a portable desktop, imho

Tim Stone

If my main computer was a laptop people might expect me to bring it into the office on the one day a week I go, and then I wouldn't have an excuse to leave early.

murgatroid99

My point is that you can divide your computer usage into "things you need a laptop to do" and "things you could do with a desktop"

Chippies

@murgatroid99 I never implied that it has to be a laptop, I did however say that it is very viable to have a laptop as your main rig

if I need a portable browsing machine, I'd probably get a tablet

also, I like to have one thing that does everything, rather than multiple things that does a little bit

> Never half-ass two things, always whole-ass one thing.

wait, I think that doesn't apply here

shit

murgatroid99

A desktop does everything, it just doesn't do it everywhere.

Chippies

6:42 PM

I would hate my life if I had to spend a week at my in-laws without my gaming laptop

(they're nice people, but I'd be bored as fuck)

murgatroid99

@Chippies See, mentioning a requirement like that earlier would have shortcutted this whole conversation

Chippies

@murgatroid99 every now and then you have to go somewhere for couple of days and that's when a gaming laptop saves everything

also, everything I do on my main rig is with me, because my main rig is with me as well

murgatroid99

Most of what I do besides gaming is internet anyway, so having just internet isn't a significant loss.

Chippies

I am looking forward to building a decent gaming PC for myself eventually though...

murgatroid99

When I travel with my Chromebook, I just read reddit and fanfics

Chippies

6:45 PM

@murgatroid99 so a chromebook would be fine for you

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 I just do that with my phone.

Chippies

I have photoshop, lightroom, Unity, Sony Vegas, guitar pro 5 and all kinds of other junk on my laptop that I use occasionally

Yuuki

As phones become more and more powerful, laptops become more and more niche.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki I don't like having to hold my phone up for long periods of time when I have a better option

@Yuuki Until phones can nicely display desktop versions of websites and have keyboards, they won't replace my laptop

Matt Giltaji

@murgatroid99 so true

murgatroid99

6:46 PM

And at that point, they'll be laptops

Chippies

@murgatroid99 tablets sort of do those things

but the decent tablets cost as much as a cheap laptop

I think Surface Pro would be nice to have, but they're ridiculously expensive

murgatroid99

I should have said "physical keyboard"

Chippies

@murgatroid99 they have those attachable keyboards

or even wireless bluetooth keyboards

you could have a wireless bluetooth keyboard with a phone though

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies those are weird

Chippies

that would be silly

Kevin van der Velden

6:48 PM

No feedback

Chippies

@KevinvanderVelden eh, it's physical

murgatroid99

@Chippies And then when you have your tablet attached to a physical keyboard and sitting upright, it's basically a heavy laptop

Chippies

@KevinvanderVelden don't they click a little or anything?

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 Well, you said Reddit and fanfiction. Reddit has a fairly good mobile site (yes, I know it's not perfect, but it's pretty much feature-complete) and fanfiction is almost wholly text, which is fine on a phone screen.

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies nope

Chippies

6:48 PM

@KevinvanderVelden well that's lame and pointless

Kevin van der Velden

They are as physical as a touch screen

They just don't feel like glass

(They also don't feel like a proper keyboard but)

murgatroid99

@Yuuki I know reddit is good on mobile, but I much prefer the desktop version

And it's lunch time

Rapitor

why

Matt Giltaji

@Chippies ah, google found a "province" picklist, sorry for that then

Ktash

I shouldn't need to pick up a map for fear of getting lost in a store, and traffic needs to be able to move more than 1 direction.

Unionhawk

@Chippies It's the only one probably for hundreds of miles

Chippies

7:05 PM

@Ktash you must have some massive ikea stores in the US

Unionhawk

@Chippies Yes

Ktash

@Chippies With the dumbest layouts you can imagine, yes

Rapitor

@Ktash you shouldn't need a map anyway? the stores (at least the 3 i've been to) have been laid out extremely well and make sense.

Unionhawk

And to think they shut down hide and seek!

Matt Giltaji

@Ktash which one did you go to?

Ktash

7:06 PM

This is not a sensible layout

Chippies

@Ktash how do you get lost on a one way street with no turns?

Rapitor

yes it is? it's pretty straightfoward

Unionhawk

He's got a point

Chippies

it's a stupid layout, but I don't see how you'd get lost in it

Ktash

@Chippies Those two maps are actually the same and they connect. Can you find where?

Chippies

7:08 PM

@Ktash they seem like they shouldn't be split

Matt Giltaji

@Chippies different floors for the one near me

Rapitor

@Ktash the yellow box that says "to marketplace" and the clear line indicating where marketplace starts... probably

Unionhawk

Yeah, the arrow is either a staircase, or Seattle IKEA has invented portals

Both seem equally plausible

Ktash

I mean, valve is here so...

Rapitor

when I go to ikea i pretty much just beeline to restaurant and then proceed to fat on many many meatballs

Unionhawk

7:11 PM

@Rapitor Good thing there's a ~~shortcut~~ secret passageway to there \o/

Ktash

But no, the map shows a nice straight line through everything, so you think it's easy. It's not. Especially not if you miss a section and have to go back. And all those wall also have "shortcuts" and "alternate routes" and things

Rapitor

@Ktash there's also lines and arrows on the floor

Unionhawk

There's probably arrows on the floor leading you to safety, no?

Matt Giltaji

@Ktash the one near me has the main path indicated on the floor

Rapitor

you have to actually try to get lost in an Ikea

Unionhawk

7:12 PM

It's laid out such that if you want a particular thing, you have to hunt for it and/or walk through all the things anyway. I will give you that.

Ktash

Which makes me reiterate my point, when I go shopping, I do not want to need to take a map (or directions from the floor) to find the thing I want

Matt Giltaji

@Unionhawk especially in the self serve furniture area

Ktash

I also don't want to have to follow these paths if I find what I'm looking for in the first 10 seconds in the store

Chippies

they fit like a puzzle piece

Unionhawk

It's laid out intelligently from a "make you want to buy things possibly" standpoint

Matt Giltaji

7:13 PM

@Ktash usually you need to go to the right section of the store, i don't see the difference here

Unionhawk

So in that sense, it makes perfect sense

Rapitor

@Ktash if you know what you want, then you don't go to the showroom, you go straight to the warehouse and get it.

Chippies

@Ktash if you go there often enough, you'll know where things are without having to look for them or get a map, just like in any other big store

Ktash

@MattGiltaji Great, I want a dresser. Where do I go? Point to it on the map

@Rapitor Can't do that in this store. You'll want to consult your handy map ;)

Matt Giltaji

@Ktash bedroom section

Ktash

7:15 PM

@MattGiltaji You'd think

But no

Chippies

@Ktash that's just a "flaw" of the stuff they're selling

Rapitor

@Ktash entrace->turn right instead of left->you're in the warehouse.

Ktash

@Rapitor Do not enter, security there to stop you

user15026

Ikea makes me wobble because I always feel like I am trapped

Ktash

@Chippies Buy why? It's laid out and clearly labeled on the map. It's under home organization. You want to put it in your bedroom? Good for you, it's not with the bedroom stuff because we layout things by room and by however we feel we want

Chippies

the categories for furniture can easily overlap, so it makes sense that it's hard to find what you're looking for

should they put kitchen chairs in a different section than regular chairs?

furniture stores are difficult to navigate in general

Ktash

@Chippies Most other furniture stores I've been in do a great job. They say things like "beds", "dressers", "tables", etc.

Tim Stone

7:21 PM

@Rapitor Yeah, this. I've never seen any Ikea that didn't allow you to immediately go to the warehouse bit.

Ktash

I've have gone to Ikea and thought they didn't have something, because I didn't know which section to look in

Chippies

@Ktash I have only been to stores that categorize furniture by rooms :/

Ktash

Ah, most of the other stores around here don't do that

They organize by what it is, not where it is

With some logic closeness of items for common things

Chippies

but then you have the issue of matching your furniture for your room

:P

Rapitor

@TimStone well. looking at his layout again. it is a little bit different, you have to cut through the restaurant, but still... that's definitely not a bad thing.

Chippies

7:23 PM

you have to go through sections and find items from the same set

Tim Stone

@Rapitor Well yeah, there's arrows to take you there even if the specifics of the layout are different. :P

Rapitor

indeed

Ktash

Every Ikea I've been in has had a similar wonky stupid layout. And all of them do this "walk through everything to try and find what you're looking for and hope you stop in the right section because you can't go back if you miss it"

Rapitor

you can go wherever the hell you want. the guidelines are so you can get back on path and not be lost for long

@AshleyNunn Did just that

@MattGiltaji In Ohio there's a number that indicates the county

Tim Stone

I suspect more people go to the Philly Ikea which is why the Conshohocken one isn't that busy.

In addition to the registration expiration date

@MBraedley Good :)

@MattGiltaji In all likelihood, it was a scam call with a spoofed caller-ID.

@TimStone Oh, well then.

MBraedley

@Ktash I know the exceptions.

Unionhawk

I have 1 within 100 miles, I'm guessing

user15026

@TimStone I am just repeating "Conshohocken" because it sounds so odd when I say it

user15026

Place names are weird

Tim Stone

Everywhere in Pennsylvania is weirdly-named!

Conshohocken, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr...King of Prussia.

@TimStone We have New Prussia, it's near my sister

Tim Stone

I'm still not 100% why a place is called "King of" anything, but.

Unionhawk

Does their mayor have the honrary title "King", and therefore is the King of King of Prussia?

If not, that needs to be a thing.

Tim Stone

All I know is that it has a giant mall and a (also giant) Wegman's.

> The community took its name in the 18th century from a local tavern named the King of Prussia Inn, which was named after King Frederick II of Prussia.

Oh well that's appropriate

Q: Did anyone else get an attachment from the Super User newsletter?

What in all actually is this PDF attachment doing with the newsletter? I'm fairly confident that this also came from Stack Exchange, so would someone care to enlighten me as to what's going on? I admit I'm rusty at reading mail headers, but the sources seem to line up just fine. Delivered-To...

@murgatroid99 they should be burned for not using the example.com email domain

murgatroid99

@MattGiltaji On the other hand, I don't think .email is a valid tld

Also, I don't think this was ever intended to be seen by anyone ever

Matt Giltaji

@murgatroid99 probably not

List of Internet top-level domains

This is a list of Internet top-level domains (TLDs). A top-level domain is a domain name in the Domain Name System that is a direct subdomain of the DNS root zone. The official list of all top-level domains is maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). In an initiative to expand the domain name space, IANA is considering approval of several proposed top-level domains. As of February 2015, the root domain contains 810 top-level domains, while a few have been retired and are no longer functional. == Original top-level domains == Seven generic top-level domains were created early...

It's valid.

@Arperum owned by donuts?! wat

Donuts (corporation)

Donuts or Donuts Inc. is a start-up company that was created to apply and run new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) as made possible by ICANN's gTLD expansion program; it was co-founded by Paul Stahura, Jonathon Nevett, Richard Tindal, and Daniel Schindler. In April 2011, the company was in stealth mode and raising capital; based on the company's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Donuts raised $1 million equity financing.

Q: Why does it say "User was removed" and not anything else?

I just entered Stackoverflow and saw "-10" on the top, I checked it and it said "User was Removed". I was like "Whaaaaaaaaaat?" and I quickly entered the page, which said that one of my answers were removed with the removed person I answered to. (< over complicated sentence) So: I answered X's q...
