@kalina I'm bored, and I like picking on morons

Sconibulus

I disapprove of javascript's antics

SaintWacko

So much compiling

OrigamiRobot

SaintWacko

Trying to fix a duplicate records bug

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot It's possible that the window was designed when screen resolutions were lower

800x600 is still the maximum I think

OrigamiRobot

16:14

@YiJiang'sEvilClone There is room in the existing window

Shotgun Ninja

Not with the layout preview.

OrigamiRobot

@ShotgunNinja The layout preview is already in both windows.

Shotgun Ninja

There's also a DRY violation with page orientation.

OrigamiRobot

As are the orientation options themselves.

The only relevant options in the 2nd window are size, source, and margins.

All of which could easily fit in the existing window.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, some of the most often used options

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

16:17

The orientation options in both windows don't match

SaintWacko

Which are for some reason stuck behind another button

My last job was at a large printing company

I ran up against so much of this stupidity

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Because the orientation option of the 1st window overrides the 2nd anyway.

The checkboxes in #1 do not actually turn those options on/off. They are for selecting which options you want to apply the selection of #2 to.

It doesn't even show the current state of the options.

Powerlord

@kalina Got 2 monitors. Don't have room on my desk for 3

But hey, 2 IPS monitors for $170 each and each has a $20 mail in rebate.

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Build a better ~~mousetrap~~ print sotware and the world will beat a path to your door.

Powerlord

I should also note that (in part due to desk space) the monitors I got are only 23.6" viewable area.

16:32

I thought it was weird that the 24" monitors of the same brand were $20 more. Did they seriously expect people to pay an extra $20 for .4" diagonal?

badp

@Powerlord Maybe the slightly larger panels had to be custom made?

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord An additional 0.4" is very important to some people.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Powerlord Is the resolution higher?

Powerlord

@YiJiang'sEvilClone No, they're both 1920x1080.

And yes, that's a step backwards from my current 1920x1200

@badp Awwww, you poor poor bot

Powerlord

@badp Is that why you're blue?

OrigamiRobot

badp

Why do people not make torrents of their ROMs?

OrigamiRobot

Why would they?

badp

@OrigamiRobot It breaks down the upload costs between hosts

It makes it so your ROM isn't only available on ONE site that gives people download bursts of 20 kB/s every ten seconds

OrigamiRobot

16:54

@badp Probably for updating purposes.

Who knows.

badp

also why does this site so stubbornly resist download managers

@OrigamiRobot IT BEATS HAVING TO REDOWNLOAD FORTY MEGABYTES OF SHIT BECAUSE YOUR SITE DECIDED TO CUT OFF MY CONNECTION

OrigamiRobot

@badp Download mangers are the worst :(

@badp I'll probably try to root my phone when I get home so I may join you in your rage.

Powerlord

Remind me to take away @badp's time machine.

badp

@OrigamiRobot Start downloading now. You probably want to

OrigamiRobot

@badp I don't have terrible internet :P

Powerlord

@badp So, do you think the TF2 SteamPipe update will be accompanied by a standard TF2 update as well?

badp

17:00

@OrigamiRobot I have a 8 megabit connection

way more than goo.io is sending to me

@Powerlord I think that Steam's been unable to download the update, sitting for hours at 0 kb/s 13 MB short of completing the download

Powerlord

The existence of the Robo Crates (and they started dropping yesterday) implies an update of some kind is coming. Here's hoping the Robot Disguises are one of them.

badp

Oh, yeah! Robo crates.

I suppose more MvM stuff.

Powerlord

@badp That's why I was hoping Robot Disguises. Because those are useful in standard game modes, too.

badp

@Powerlord What do you mean exactly?

Powerlord

@badp Robot Disguises were one of the things mentioned in the hidden April Fools page.

badp

17:03

@Powerlord Okay, but what are they?

Literally disguising as a robot version of any class?

Powerlord

@badp I assumed they were like the zombie skins, but I can't say since I'm not Valve.

Then again, the April Fools page had a lot of other stuff on it, too... and we don't know what's real and what isn't.

badp

Ah. Like souls but robots.

Powerlord

A Catapult was listed on that page, for instance.

If I wasn't at work, I'd both link to the page and look at it again.

I will still manage to root it before @badp finishes

and that's all that matters

badp

Fine

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Take a screenshot of the tablet info setting, or a picture of the CM10 boot animation

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's flashing, not rooting

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I thought the point of this exercise is to install another ROM? Or not?

badp

17:14

Yes, but I've already rooted it, I'm just waiting for this shitty locker site to get me the file

SaintWacko

@Coronus So well done, right?

badp

I have downloaded 10 MB of 158 in the last 20 minutes

Hmmm, the answers should be the same, and the two questions are very close, but not exact duplicates.

Powerlord

What's the best bacon to use when french kissing a whale?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I don't think it's necessary to keep both around, but somehow I think the direction should be reversed, because the other question seems to be a subset of the newer one

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's always a difficult situation

That's what I'll do this weekend. Skittles vodka.

Shotgun Ninja

Sour Skittles Vodka.

Not to be confused with a Skittles Vodka Sour.

OrigamiRobot

If someone were to ask me what the best kind of Skittles are, I would say Wild Berry. The true answer is Sour, but that goes without saying and it is unfair to judge the others in the same league as the almighty Sour.

Coronus

@OrigamiRobot The best of the non-best?

Shotgun Ninja

@OrigamiRobot He's a robot, so it has to be true, by unerring recitation of empirical research.

OrigamiRobot

@Coronus Quite.

@Powerlord You need to complete three random challenges like "win two hands in a row", then you get a shot to an item. To get the item, you must win that one tourney.
