2:07 AM

Grrr, I'm impatient... Helping a friend recover her hard drive... I can read the filenames and stuff, but nothing else is accessible -.- ddrescue is taking a long time to tell me it can't read crap

2:25 AM

hm

NTFS?

2:55 AM

X is driving me up the wall

(EE) parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)

:S

why ... why does an X server need a tty? what arcane magic do I need to invoke to start a bloody graphical environment?

incidentally, this is why "the year of the linux desktop" isn't happening, and probably will never happen

lol @ "arcane magic"

(EE) no screens found(EE)

hey everyone! I've been facing a small problem with my internet...can I get some help?

XKCD

4:15 AM

But we don't need to worry about the boiling masses sandwiching the thin layer in which we live, since we're so fragile and short-lived that it's unlikely to kill us before something else does! Wait, why doesn't that sound reassuring?

bwDraco

lol

4th rebuild of the container

I'm this close to ditching lubuntu-desktop and just running openbox

7:18 AM

@Carrick that really depends on the problem

state it, if we can help we will, but it may need a question on the main site.

@CanadianLuke stick it in the freezer overnight?

Q: Why am I not dead after *repeatedly* touching a high-voltage source?

28

I play with mosquito racket in my home, I unscrew the racket and touched the 2 wires with my hands I felt that my bones are dislocated(i get shocked) but I am not dead, but maths says I should die. Here are my calculations: the output voltage is 5000 V to 10000 V, my body resistance approx. 50 ...

How could you choose avoiding a little pain over understanding a magic lightning machine?

This has me confused. superuser.com/a/1329583/10165 spam or... utterly clueless?

@AnuragBaundwal How do you know he downvoted?

this is getting so many flags.

Someone needs a slap

and flagging priv's removing

yes, yes they do

three guesses who it is

and the first two don't count

I have no clue who it is

Probably the OP of the answer? :p

hmmm

is there a way in chrome, to nuke all cookies, set by a visit to a perticular domain, (even if the cookies aren't for that domain?)

Basically I did a 'pop out' on a liveperson.net box which broke it

while visting virginmedia.net

now I've nuked cookies for virginmedia.net, and liveperson.net and lpsnsomething.net and still it doesn't go back to 'normal'

@djsmiley2k F12 devtools, Application tab, Storage => Cookies on the left

ty

shows all cookies on the current site, including third-party

you still have to right click them individually to clear though

ty

or hit the 'clear storage' button ? ;)

hmmm, still not showing up, dafaq?

ah fook it, I'll poke at it from home.

hey guys, how u doing? can I run a specific form (WinForms) on VS 2012 without loading other forms code and ignoring errors? In my current machine I can't have MySQL installed and my program is firing errors thatcan't find the assemblies..

Burgi

no idea

probably not

Tiago Caldeira

@Burgi thanks, I'll probably have to comment all forms until I get home

9:42 AM

@djsmiley2k idk if that affects third-party

@Bob I manually deleted everything.

Still no change.
