Time to figure out how to compile Chromium

Simon Sheehan

01:26

Well, so far i can't even get the source code, yay

nhinkle

01:55

@SimonSheehan why not?

Simon Sheehan

02:47

@nhinkle I'll explain it tomorrow.. Too tired now. Essentially I can't find files.

Journeyman Geek

05:48

lo

Windos

06:00

G'day

Journeyman Geek

06:55

ok, this is curious

Apparently neither one of my usual file converters handles mono wav files

nhinkle

07:23

anyone with windows want to try a thing?

@SimonSheehan @JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

08:38

@nhinkle: sure

BloodPhilia

09:04

Anyone here :D?

Journeyman Geek

apparently so ;p

BloodPhilia

@JourneymanGeek Yay! :D

What's up?

Journeyman Geek

not much, throwing my toolkit at mono wav files that my usual conversion apps don't seem to handle ;p

BloodPhilia

@JourneymanGeek Haha okay xD! I'm just ghosting my dying disk here

Journeyman Geek

eww, dying disk

alive enough for the usual suspects, or throwing something more exotic at the problem?

BloodPhilia

09:12

@JourneymanGeek Well, it keeps giving me disk errors, BSOD's (which then can not write the memdumps to the disk), very low performance and boot issues... The mobo regularly doesn't see the disk as bootable device, I have to restore the MBR on a weekly basis...

So... I'm giving it a good RMA in the face...

Journeyman Geek

least you can back it up first ;p

BloodPhilia

@JourneymanGeek Ye :P It's nearly done imaging!

Journeyman Geek

erf

BloodPhilia

But until I get my laptop back from service, I have to use my phone or a college computer... Which sucks big time

Journeyman Geek

lol

i'd consider it unspeakably horrible, myself

I'm trying not to post a snarky answer to superuser.com/questions/331715/… since qooxdoo.org/license is obviously there

BloodPhilia

09:15

@JourneymanGeek Well, yes.. that :P Anyway! I'm just glad it allowed me to back the entire thing up before it completely died on me

> I don't know EPL well, the content of licence is too hard for me.

Journeyman Geek

lol

"Note that it is explicitly NOT NEEDED to put any application under the LGPL or EPL, if that application is just using qooxdoo as intended by the framework (this is where the "weak" part comes into play - contrast this with the GPL, which would only allow using qooxdoo to create an application that is itself governed by the GPL)."

BloodPhilia

Why won't it quote D:

Journeyman Geek

i'm commenting, then VTCing

it dosen't belong here. and whoever it was was too lazy to poke around, obviously

BloodPhilia

Anyway, I should get going! Bye bye :D

Journeyman Geek

byeeee

superuser.com/questions/253582/… this is setting off my spidey sense, but its not obvious enough to say its a bot

Mokubai

09:25

Lol, I was just looking at that myself...

Supsiciously advertisey

Journeyman Geek

hmm

there's another one that looks (unrelatedly) fishy superuser.com/questions/96596/…

Mokubai

and poorly formatted, I could fix it, but then it's a bit to spammy...

They're at least a little bit more open about their advertising

Journeyman Geek

hmm

actually, most of the answers there are horrid

Mokubai

One of the answers is basically telling them to download the file from one of the other answers, even the file they linked is the same...

It's basically a "me too" answer, but weirdly paraphrasing the other answer...

Mokubai

09:48

Oh wow, some stupid answers that were (thankfully) deleted should instead have been nuked from orbit

Journeyman Geek

lol

Mokubai

I just read a rather poorly, uh, "worded" one to the effect that putting more memory in a computer makes it slow because it has more addresses to manage...

Journeyman Geek

erf.. where?

Mokubai

And there I was flagging mildly stupid answers, and not seeing the really stupid ones that had already been deleted...

Journeyman Geek

lol

Mokubai

superuser.com/questions/34786/…

Journeyman Geek

I need a stronger table. If i headesk as hard as i want to, i'd crack my skull, the table AND The floor.

Mokubai

Oh wow, WTF: superuser.com/questions/8139/…

Journeyman Geek

eh, troll

we do have those

Mokubai

Ah yes, deposit, the account where bad accounts get dropped

Journeyman Geek

erf

not sure if i should have flagged that one

the funny thing is deposit has two correct answers ;p

Mokubai

09:56

So he does, good for him! :)

He's got to get things right sometimes...

Journeyman Geek

lol. a broken clock is right twice a day too?

Mokubai

Yep, and it's always 5 o'clock somewhere :)

Journeyman Geek

technically, no

timezones are discrete ;p

Mokubai

Which means: "Beer o'clock"!

Well, not exactly 5 o'clock, but close enough for beer

Q: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL while trying to boot Windows XP

When I try to boot Windows XP the following error appears: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL I'm unable to boot Windows into safe mode as well. How can I fix this problem?

Sathya

@Mokubai yeesh.

Mokubai

If there's no movement on it (give it a few hours) then I suspect close as NARQ...

There is quite simply not enough information to even begin to guess at anything other than "try reinstalling windows".

Q: Any way to boot an OS from usb flash drive and run directly on a monitor with USB port?

Is there any way to boot an OS from usb flash drive and run directly on a monitor with USB port? I have an LCD monitor with USB port. Can I just load an OS on a flash drive and run it on monitor?

boot usb-flash-drive operating-systems

headesks

Mokubai

12:40

@JourneymanGeek That is just a wondrous misinterpretation of of what each and every component of a computer system actually does...

Beautiful

Hey, my monitor has a USB port and I can apparently install an OS on a USB stick using my computer, therefore I should be able to plug in a USB stick with OS and run that on my monitor thus negating the need for my computer! Win!

@Sathya Can i copy that long list onto the Meta.SU post?

And put it within code tags

Sathya

no, it won't help anyone

Simon Sheehan

Ah okay

Sathya

(been there, done that - used code, block quote)

Simon Sheehan

Is it too long?

Wait, he said that's only 1/8th of the data dump....oh my

Journeyman Geek

@Sathya I was just being a little silly! thought the 1980 tag is funny for marquee! Just a little edit!

Q: How to find and remove "spicy" media files from my PC?

I have an embarrassing problem: during my younger and wilder days I used to download a certain type of clips and pictures, the combination of youth foolishness and a couple of beers apparently caused me to put these files at odd places on my hard drives.

anyone experienced with web hosting has a few minutes?

i visited a site pagodabox.com and they offer cloud hosting. They say that they offer appclones. i m new to appclones. so can anyone tell me are they a good option?

Tyler Gillies

man sometimes i think sudo is more dangerous than rolling around as root

because you think you're 'safe'

Linker3000

@TylerGillies I read an article somewhere that covered that exact point.
