|
| 07:06:29 PM | GoodGuy | Hi _Jot_
|
| 07:07:15 PM | eyemeansit | Robbie, is the Eco-Alkalines voice-over done by you?
|
| 07:07:21 PM | ajamison5579 | Its so exceptionaly exceptional?! Robbief you should write their marketing
|
| 07:07:35 PM | Dennis_Kelley | chrisreich - Hello!
|
| 07:07:36 PM | _Jot_ | eyemeansit, yes, that's RobbieF, they like it so much, they use it themselves too I think
|
| 07:07:50 PM | chrisreich | RobbieF Does Brother have Linux drivers for their newest line of printers?
|
| 07:07:57 PM | eyemeansit | Very cool
|
| 07:08:30 PM | GoodGuy | I get excited about several things.. Have to admit a printer wasn't one (so far)
|
| 07:08:49 PM | _Jot_ | nice isn't it SashaD :)
|
| 07:09:29 PM | OldGuyJim | Chrisreich, I would image they do just like the old ones. I've also noticed that HP is now supporting different versions of Linux.
|
| 07:09:42 PM | Guest_Harry | http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html
|
| 07:09:45 PM | tic-toc | dont break it..lol
|
| 07:09:50 PM | ajamison5579 | can it still print normal portrait mode
|
| 07:09:51 PM | Guest_Harry | Chrisreich
|
| 07:10:09 PM | Guest_Harry | there's brother linux drivers
|
| 07:10:14 PM | chrisreich | I "image" they do to, OldGuyJim, but the question is relevant tonight
|
| 07:10:50 PM | GoodGuy | I have a Canon... it prints sideways if I say do landscape.. How is this different in the end results?
|
| 07:10:52 PM | OldGuyJim | Chrisreich, should have been imagine.
|
| 07:11:02 PM | JoeNH | Are the ink cartridges seperate?
|
| 07:11:03 PM | OldGuyJim | Sorry.
|
| 07:11:19 PM | ajamison5579 | I want a printer that print what i want before i know i want to print it
|
| 07:11:19 PM | Guest_Harry | Chrisreich did you got the link?
|
| 07:11:23 PM | ajamison5579 | can Brother help with that
|
| 07:11:35 PM | chrisreich | Yeah I know OldGuyJim - those mistakes happen to all of us.
|
| 07:11:36 PM | GoodGuy | Most of us can read typonese :-)
|
| 07:12:06 PM | _Jot_ | write it too
|
| 07:12:12 PM | chrisreich | Yes, I have the link Guest_Harry. It's still a suitable question for the guest.
|
| 07:12:22 PM | OldGuyJim | That is why I'm OldGuyJim....emphasis on "Old" :)
|
| 07:12:27 PM | Guest_Harry | oh ok> sorry
|
| 07:12:51 PM | chrisreich | In fact, my Brother printer does not have a Linux driver, so it's important to me.
|
| 07:13:33 PM | Guest_Harry | it's just that I do customer support and when I see a question I tend to answer...my bad
|
| 07:13:42 PM | OldGuyJim | Is this an inkjet or a laserjet using color ink?
|
| 07:14:04 PM | OldGuyJim | I asked too soon...the picture answers the question
|
| 07:14:31 PM | GoodGuy | How much is the ink cost per page in comparison
|
| 07:14:49 PM | OldGuyJim | Goodguy...Good question.
|
| 07:14:54 PM | tic-toc | Does it print money ?
|
| 07:15:04 PM | ajamison5579 | makes you wonder when someone is going to come up with a biodegradeable replacement for plastic that has the same strengths of plastic but none of the weaknesses
|
| 07:15:05 PM | chrisreich | "typonese" I like that. I will steal it.
|
| 07:15:25 PM | _Jot_ | tic-toc, not real money, no printers do, because printers and scanners recognize security-features from money and refuse to process it
|
| 07:15:28 PM | GoodGuy | Most do.. a free ticket to jail with each bill printed lol
|
| 07:15:29 PM | JoeNH | it the yellow runs out, can just replace the yellow?
|
| 07:15:52 PM | tic-toc | mine don't...
|
| 07:15:56 PM | tic-toc | lol
|
| 07:16:30 PM | u_guys_r_ | is that a laser printer?
|
| 07:16:36 PM | GoodGuy | North Korea supposedly does a great job coping money according to the news
|
| 07:16:43 PM | _Jot_ | it is an inktjet-printer
|
| 07:16:51 PM | u_guys_r_ | ok
|
| 07:17:01 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF - which Android tablet?
|
| 07:17:18 PM | tic-toc | did he say iphone :0
|
| 07:19:13 PM | GoodGuy | Use Google Chrome cloud print
|
| 07:19:30 PM | JoeNH | Do you really want the world print to the device?
|
| 07:19:39 PM | _Jot_ | not visible on that camera on paper either RobbieF :P
|
| 07:19:42 PM | chrisreich | OldGuyJim - I'm old enough that my offspring are adults, but in cases like mine it's not so much the years as the milage... :-)
|
| 07:19:45 PM | ajamison5579 | I hope everyone here has deleted their instagram accounts
|
| 07:19:54 PM | GoodGuy | I think it just makes it easier to do yourself
|
| 07:20:01 PM | tic-toc | Sasha is modeling lol
|
| 07:20:04 PM | chrisreich | what is instagram. No, I'm not kidding.
|
| 07:20:24 PM | JoeNH | never had an instagram account
|
| 07:20:30 PM | GoodGuy | It is a picture web site for mobile devices iirc
|
| 07:20:33 PM | chrisreich | nor have I
|
| 07:20:33 PM | _Jot_ | instagram is a photo-sharing site that is meant mostly for sharing from mobile devices, and like facebook they want a perpetual right to your pictures
|
| 07:20:49 PM | chrisreich | Thanks _Jot_
|
| 07:21:08 PM | ajamison5579 | _jot_ they took it further and now they can sell them and transfer ownership rights without your conscient
|
| 07:21:10 PM | _Jot_ | link to the printer: http://www.cat5.tv/brother
|
| 07:21:12 PM | ajamison5579 | starting jan 16th
|
| 07:21:40 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison5579, so that is the same as facebook, they have those rights too. Twitter and other sites have that as well
|

| 07:23:56 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, can you use smaller paper too, like postcards?
|
| 07:23:58 PM | SashaD | What a great printer : )
|
| 07:24:08 PM | tic-toc | Tania is a different name
|
| 07:24:11 PM | chrisreich | good question _Jot_

|
| 07:25:48 PM | GoodGuy | Proably depends on whose butt lol
|
| 07:25:59 PM | GoodGuy | probably

|
| 07:26:22 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, just take it as you go home, RobbieF won't notice, he isn't that smart :)
|
| 07:26:28 PM | Raj__ | Me Me me Me :)
|
| 07:26:33 PM | chrisreich | do you speak from experience, Guest_Harry? :-)
|
| 07:26:39 PM | GoodGuy | Isnt that an Nsync song SashaD?
|
| 07:27:00 PM | Dennis_Kelley | RobbieF - will the be available to US viewers?
|
| 07:27:05 PM | Raj__ | Nice to see you again RobbieF
|
| 07:27:05 PM | Dennis_Kelley | *They
|
| 07:27:15 PM | Raj__ | Tons of changes
|
| 07:27:31 PM | JoeNH | Firefox can't print right. Do I really want them as my phone?
|
| 07:27:36 PM | _Jot_ | Dennis_Kelley, the printer? or the prizes?
|
| 07:27:53 PM | Dennis_Kelley | the Prizes
|
| 07:28:09 PM | Dennis_Kelley | which will be a printer!
|
| 07:28:14 PM | _Jot_ | Dennis_Kelley, I know RobbieF always tries very hard to ship everything everywhere around the world
|
| 07:28:19 PM | chrisreich | JoeNH I don't have problems with Firefox printing in OS X. What problems are you having?
|
| 07:29:01 PM | _Jot_ | Dennis_Kelley, when I won my pogoplug, it wasn't even available anywhere except the US yet, but he still made sure I got one
|
| 07:29:19 PM | Guest_Harry | sorry couldnt hear the whole thing, but is it affecting androids?
|
| 07:29:32 PM | tic-toc | I never online bank....
|
| 07:29:41 PM | _Jot_ | Guest_Harry, yes, there are android-virusses now
|
| 07:30:01 PM | Guest_Harry | yes i know but did she mention phones or tablets?
|
| 07:30:17 PM | GoodGuy | Better check if you have any money in your bank
|
| 07:30:23 PM | jaepea | hi robbief and sashad
|
| 07:30:42 PM | _Jot_ | Guest_Harry, at this time, it is mostly phones, because the specific trojan uses SMS, which tablets don't have, but there is no reason to assume it will be just phones
|
| 07:31:15 PM | Guest_Harry | thanks
|
| 07:31:31 PM | JoeNH | wow
|
| 07:32:11 PM | Guest_Harry | linux powered Yesssss
|
| 07:32:32 PM | GoodGuy | It will have military applications soon
|
| 07:32:38 PM | Guest_9866 | I keep getting phonecalls from reps in india stating I have viruses on my computer. They always sound so sad when I tell them I have a Mac
|
| 07:32:40 PM | ajamison5579 | Imagine the pain when installing these chips
|
| 07:32:48 PM | ElmerFishpaw | good in a street fight too!
|
| 07:33:15 PM | GoodGuy | Probably put her to sleep
|
| 07:33:20 PM | tic-toc | cake shops will love this
|
| 07:33:28 PM | Guest_Harry | or imagine a reboot?
|
| 07:33:29 PM | _Jot_ | Guest_9866, your Mac can run Windows, which is what they want to infect and make you pay for at the same time. So still, be cautious in case they catch on
|
| 07:33:45 PM | GoodGuy | Most stuff doesnt hurt as bad as you imagine it will
|
| 07:33:59 PM | Guest_9866 | I'm using it just with Apple OS.
|
| 07:34:11 PM | ajamison5579 | Lets hope that implant is not running Windows 96
|
| 07:34:14 PM | ajamison5579 | 95
|
| 07:34:16 PM | ajamison5579 | lol
|
| 07:34:21 PM | Guest_Harry | OOOh the wonders of Linus OS
|
| 07:34:28 PM | Guest_Harry | Linux
|
| 07:34:55 PM | JoeNH | 3d chocolatebusiness cards!!!!! Yes
|
| 07:34:57 PM | _Jot_ | where is my chocolate?!?!?!
|
| 07:35:07 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Hello RobbieF
|
| 07:35:10 PM | GoodGuy | I saw Chef Tizzard make a trifle on Steve and Chris
|
| 07:35:16 PM | Dennis_Kelley | And SashD
|
| 07:35:24 PM | Dennis_Kelley | SashaD
|
| 07:35:26 PM | _Jot_ | hi Heather, don't work too hard :)
|
| 07:35:26 PM | GoodGuy | never heard of that before
|
| 07:35:46 PM | SashaD | Hi Dennis : )
|
| 07:36:08 PM | SashaD | I'm seriously thinking this a doable business venture
|
| 07:36:09 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF - Have you seen HootSuite?
|
| 07:36:09 PM | JoeNH | Don't you have ascript for that?
|
| 07:36:26 PM | GoodGuy | I follow a Canadian cooking show and she used that software
|
| 07:36:34 PM | _Jot_ | business venture? I'm still stuck on the word 'chocolate', I heard nothing else
|
| 07:37:39 PM | OldGuyJim | Chrisreich, I totally understand about the "mileage"...getting old ain't for sissies.
|
| 07:38:19 PM | chrisreich | Good one, OldGutJim. :-)
|
| 07:38:28 PM | tic-toc | reset the default medis player?
|
| 07:38:30 PM | hrbllv | ncely said OldGuyJim
|
| 07:38:44 PM | hrbllv | nicely
|
| 07:38:44 PM | chrisreich | I just had a Firefox crash - restarting now.
|
| 07:40:42 PM | tic-toc | political reasons ?
|
| 07:41:51 PM | jaepea | i waiting on steam on ubuntu
|
| 07:42:01 PM | Gregg | political or religious or maybe just avoiding the known vulnerabilities of adobe flash
|
| 07:42:35 PM | GoodGuy | Coming out in a week or two iirc jaepea
|
| 07:43:22 PM | U-Al_ | lol
|
| 07:43:31 PM | JoeNH | RobbieF: Oneof the linux magazines had an article a while back to convert OGG toMP3 on the fly
|
| 07:44:33 PM | GoodGuy | One time only RobbieF
|
| 07:44:53 PM | chrisreich | I think I will have to re-boot my Mac. I may or may not be back in time for the end of the show. My best wishes to all. Merry Christmas everyone.
|
| 07:44:57 PM | GoodGuy | Rest will be differential or incremental
|
| 07:45:07 PM | GoodGuy | ZFS has that stuff also
|
| 07:45:13 PM | Guest_Harry | Merry Xmas to you too
|
| 07:45:31 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, unraid can also be a bit slower if you move a lot of stuff with Windows, but that is purely Windows being silly, that's not unraid being slow
|
| 07:45:36 PM | GoodGuy | ZFS is probably the most advanced file system available
|
| 07:46:01 PM | albertr | btrfs also
|
| 07:46:05 PM | Dennis_Kelley | I think SashaD is Lost completely!
|
| 07:46:16 PM | SashaD | It's true
|
| 07:46:18 PM | GoodGuy | lierally!
|
| 07:46:22 PM | Guest_Harry | hahaha
|
| 07:46:26 PM | GoodGuy | literally

|
| 07:46:47 PM | revdjenk | when are you going to have a G+ presence?
|
| 07:47:04 PM | GoodGuy | Maybe you can ask Mr Reiser to help enhance it.. what else does he have to do tese days lol
|
| 07:47:08 PM | Raj__ | she is like speak english.. :)
|
| 07:47:13 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, killer file system is a bad joke, because Mr. Reiser, the creator of Reiser FIle System killed his wife
|
| 07:47:30 PM | U-Al_ | raid 1 you can recover from mirrored drive if the raid breaks
|
| 07:48:39 PM | SashaD | oh... yep, I'm lost... bad joke
|
| 07:49:35 PM | JoeNH | not to mention thenewsinthe US this week
|
| 07:49:41 PM | JoeNH | or last week

|
| 07:56:20 PM | GoodGuy | SpinRite
|
| 07:56:24 PM | Gregg | (was hoping that Roku would get us past the ustream commercials for live viewing. guess not.)
|
| 07:56:25 PM | revdjenk | Does Cat 5 have a G+ presence?
|
| 07:56:38 PM | GoodGuy | Thought they had a pretty good rep (Windows)
|
| 07:57:00 PM | GoodGuy | Roku loves commercials
|
| 07:57:15 PM | GoodGuy | I see the same ones several times in a row
|
| 07:57:31 PM | tic-toc | Why isn't Spock in the Christmas scenery on the shelf ? Don't Vulcan's celebrate Christmas? :)
|
| 07:57:39 PM | Gregg | they always seem to interrupt something important being said by the hosts
|
| 07:57:45 PM | GoodGuy | Try Classic Shell in Windows 8
|
| 07:58:05 PM | GoodGuy | I saw several tech shows on that
|
| 07:58:08 PM | Raj__ | is windows 8 any better? or another ME clone?
|
| 07:58:18 PM | _Jot_ | ME clone
|
| 07:58:24 PM | jaepea | i know s pnrite is good but it aint ext drives
|
| 07:58:35 PM | Raj__ | no point in spending money on 8
|
| 07:58:36 PM | JoeNH | The gui is a complete rewrite
|
| 07:58:53 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison mentions that it is beter, except for the new UI-part, but that is the only part that you can't get around, even with the work-arounds, you still are stuck with how that works, the work-arounds just put that in a different format
|
| 07:58:55 PM | GoodGuy | tiles
|
| 07:59:29 PM | albertr | Thanks :)
|
| 07:59:30 PM | JoeNH | The code underneath was rewritten. Ituses something like winRT
|
| 07:59:44 PM | _Jot_ | so next week you will be sick, cause you caught it from SashaD, RobbieF?
|

|
| 08:03:25 PM | Raj__ | I try to get to this program every week.. but was not able to do iteven once... since last year... AMAZING
|
| 08:03:28 PM | RobbieF | You too Guest_harry!
|
| 08:03:40 PM | Raj__ | I am on Christmas holidays..
|
| 08:03:47 PM | _Jot_ | Raj__ Not even watched a show back from the on demand?
|
| 08:03:49 PM | Raj__ | so thought of checking on Robbie today..
|
| 08:03:51 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: good articles on new issues...
|
| 08:04:06 PM | Raj__ | you know what.. I didn't watch Robbie for more than a year
|
| 08:04:14 PM | u_guys_r_ | does the Ubuntu server support GUI or terminal only?
|
| 08:04:21 PM | Raj__ | I have all my PTO left at work...
|
| 08:04:24 PM | Raj__ | :)
|
| 08:04:48 PM | GoodGuy | terminal I assume unless you install a desktop environment yourself
|
| 08:05:12 PM | GoodGuy | Most server installs have little use for a GUI
|
| 08:05:14 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: so that printer is the prize next week!
|
| 08:05:16 PM | _Jot_ | u_guys_r_ I think yu can install one, but gneerally it is not recommended, mostly because that's not what servers are really for, but there is discussion at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI
|
| 08:05:21 PM | Raj__ | Nice show.. I am upgrading my system to new Ubuntu since Robbie introduced me to it...
|
| 08:05:35 PM | u_guys_r_ | ok thanks
|
| 08:05:58 PM | Raj__ | See you all again.. I think may be next week
|
| 08:06:08 PM | Raj__ | Good Night evey one..
|
| 08:06:09 PM | GoodGuy | It is interesting following the Raspberry Pi
|
| 08:06:10 PM | _Jot_ | revdjenk, I think maybe RobbieF will keep it together with the mouse and send an empty box with a an IOU-paper in it
|
| 08:06:22 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: hee hee
|
| 08:06:27 PM | GoodGuy | amazing all the things people have created already
|
| 08:06:30 PM | u_guys_r_ | great show folks
|
| 08:07:02 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: you've seen the latest, raspberry pi and apple's siri to open garage door...
|
| 08:07:13 PM | GoodGuy | Yes I did.. slick
|
| 08:07:21 PM | _Jot_ | 'open garage door', 'I can't do that, dave'
|
| 08:07:26 PM | GoodGuy | lol
|
| 08:07:32 PM | revdjenk | hee hee
|
| 08:07:46 PM | GoodGuy | Today someoner made a beet musical gadget
|
| 08:08:05 PM | revdjenk | Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer dooooooooo
|
| 08:08:06 PM | GoodGuy | Not sure why, but the moderator was impressed
|
| 08:08:34 PM | GoodGuy | I bought a second Pi with 512mb
|
| 08:08:43 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: made from beets or for the Beats?
|
| 08:08:45 PM | _Jot_ | wow, so much ram :)
|
| 08:08:52 PM | GoodGuy | Just loaded OpenELEC on it
|
| 08:09:02 PM | GoodGuy | beets as in the vegetable
|
| 08:09:19 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: you could install Mint on that Pi!
|
| 08:09:37 PM | Guest_3010 | openelec on a pi?
|
| 08:09:43 PM | GoodGuy | Only if it was compiled for ARM CPU
|
| 08:09:47 PM | GoodGuy | Yes
|
| 08:10:12 PM | revdjenk | well, at least bodhilinux... don't think mint has the arm version ready yet....correct
|
| 08:10:16 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, can we watch? can we watch?
|
| 08:10:25 PM | GoodGuy | RasmBMC and OpenELEC provide a XBMC media center
|
| 08:10:30 PM | _Jot_ | yay! thanks RobbieF
|
| 08:10:35 PM | Guest_3010 | is the show over
|
| 08:10:35 PM | GoodGuy | RaspBMC
|
| 08:10:37 PM | RobbieF | my pleasure
|
| 08:10:38 PM | _Jot_ | hi EricKidd
|
| 08:10:42 PM | GoodGuy | Yes Guest_3010
|
| 08:10:59 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: what's he doing? can anyone watch, or need backstage?
|
| 08:11:00 PM | _Jot_ | Guest_3010, the main show just ended, but the Backstage Pass is still active
|
| 08:11:07 PM | Guest_3010 | it's only 7;30
|
| 08:11:16 PM | GoodGuy | Yes last I heard
|
| 08:11:24 PM | _Jot_ | I think you have to be signed up for it to work, but it may work for everyone
|
| 08:11:42 PM | GoodGuy | Arch Linux - Bodhi and Raspbian (Debian)
|
| 08:11:45 PM | _Jot_ | it's one of the channels that show up if you click 'open all' while watching the show
|
| 08:11:49 PM | _Jot_ | the direct link to the BSP is http://live.cat5.tv/bsp.htm
|
| 08:12:49 PM | Guest_3010 | GoodGuy with OpenElec do you get a desktop as well as xbmc?
|
| 08:13:14 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: THANKS had already fired it up
|
| 08:14:08 PM | _Jot_ | revdjenk, great, I posted it for others too, because it isn't easy to find if the show isn't playing right now and it is interesting to watch
|
| 08:14:34 PM | revdjenk | Are they having a meeting, a party ?
|
| 08:14:46 PM | _Jot_ | rehearsal for the christmas-special
|
| 08:14:54 PM | revdjenk | ah
|
| 08:15:02 PM | GoodGuy | It looks the same, but the OS part doesnt show if thats what you mean
|
| 08:15:11 PM | _Jot_ | no sound unfortunatly, but can't have everything I guess :)
|
| 08:15:13 PM | GoodGuy | It is Linux under the hood
|
| 08:15:48 PM | GoodGuy | It didnt allow an apt-get update etc
|
| 08:15:59 PM | GoodGuy | They update it differently
|
| 08:16:12 PM | Guest_3010 | GoodGuy I use raspbian but can only use xbmc no browser
|
| 08:16:14 PM | revdjenk | openelec is based on what, GoodGuy ?
|
| 08:16:23 PM | revdjenk | \what distro?
|
| 08:16:28 PM | Guest_3010 | raspbmc sorry
|
| 08:16:30 PM | GoodGuy | Not sure revdjenk
|
| 08:16:34 PM | revdjenk | ah
|
| 08:17:12 PM | GoodGuy | RaspBMC and OpenELEC arent designed to do web browsing
|
| 08:17:35 PM | Guest_3010 | so i can have one or the other
|
| 08:17:36 PM | GoodGuy | You may be able to install XBMC manually in Raspbian Wheezy
|
| 08:17:52 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: have you seen bodhilinux? they have a pi version...
|
| 08:18:04 PM | GoodGuy | I assume thats what the RaspBMC is doing
|
| 08:18:23 PM | GoodGuy | I saw it existed and saved the URL.. never tried it
|
| 08:18:45 PM | GoodGuy | OpenSUSE is supposedly making a version also
|
| 08:19:17 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: http://www.bodhilinux.com/downloads_mobile.php
|
| 08:19:37 PM | GoodGuy | Adafruit has a PI OS also
|
| 08:19:47 PM | revdjenk | bodhi uses enlightenment
|
| 08:19:56 PM | revdjenk | for DE
|
| 08:19:57 PM | GoodGuy | customized for electronic stuff
|
| 08:20:16 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: ah, you hacker, you
|
| 08:20:26 PM | GoodGuy | I have tried Bodhi on a PC,,, just not on the Pi
|
| 08:20:36 PM | GoodGuy | wanna be hacker
|
| 08:20:42 PM | revdjenk | hee hee
|
| 08:21:08 PM | GoodGuy | Never did it yet... I bought the GPIO cable when I was ordering the case
|
| 08:21:48 PM | GoodGuy | It was so cheap, I got it in case I ever wanted it later to avoid shipping in the future
|
| 08:22:15 PM | Guest_3010 | 946 MB is a full os
|
| 08:22:25 PM | _Jot_ | only problem is that there is so much cheap but great stuff, you tend to keep adding and adding and it all adds up to great amounts :)
|
| 08:22:26 PM | GoodGuy | I have an Adafruit Pi Box on my 1st PI and a ModMyPi case on the new one
|
| 08:22:47 PM | GoodGuy | Tell my wife about it lol
|
| 08:23:07 PM | GoodGuy | small house.. lots of "junk" and magazines
|
| 08:23:25 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: don't you just say... is that new? oh no, I have had it for quite a while, now.
|
| 08:23:42 PM | _Jot_ | tell my wife about that, as soon as I found her amongst all the stuff I have (if I have one)
|
| 08:23:50 PM | Guest_3010 | which case do you like better
|
| 08:23:51 PM | GoodGuy | she does the credit cards, so that wouldnt work lol
|
| 08:23:57 PM | revdjenk | hee hee
|
| 08:24:13 PM | GoodGuy | We always ask each other before spending anything
|
| 08:24:26 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: smart man!
|
| 08:24:29 PM | _Jot_ | 'Ive had that since christmas', 'but christmas is next week''oops'
|
| 08:24:35 PM | GoodGuy | Made that rule the day we married
|
| 08:24:37 PM | revdjenk | ooops
|
| 08:25:14 PM | GoodGuy | We are older, so not many bills at this stage
|
| 08:25:31 PM | GoodGuy | other than medical stuff unfortunately
|
| 08:25:43 PM | _Jot_ | you know, RobbieF's house is a great place to be with all those nice people around
|
| 08:25:52 PM | revdjenk | ah, GoodGuy, yes, meds do get expensive
|
| 08:26:05 PM | GoodGuy | I'll say!
|
| 08:26:19 PM | revdjenk | Is that Eric w/o beard? I haven't been watching lately
|
| 08:26:27 PM | GoodGuy | They know me by sight at the pharmacy
|
| 08:26:39 PM | GoodGuy | all the workers :-)
|
| 08:26:56 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: my dad orders the meds he can from canada, and saves about 60% !
|
| 08:27:01 PM | _Jot_ | yeah, he saved it for movember, for charity so there would be something to grow, and I think also so people don't confuse him with RobbieF - again
|
| 08:27:08 PM | _Jot_ | shaved*
|
| 08:27:21 PM | GoodGuy | I sould have my wife look into that
|
| 08:27:31 PM | GoodGuy | we live near Canada also
|
| 08:27:42 PM | GoodGuy | I cant barely drive though
|
| 08:27:47 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: they live if FL but order online
|
| 08:28:04 PM | GoodGuy | even sitting as a passenger is starting to bother me lately
|
| 08:28:20 PM | revdjenk | sorry to hear that GoodGuy. I'll add you to prayers, if you don't mind.
|
| 08:28:30 PM | _Jot_ | be cautious with medicines from canada though, many sites claiming to be there are from spammers and obviously have nothing to do with canada
|
| 08:28:40 PM | GoodGuy | I thought I saw a small storefront that sold Canadian meds in a nearby city
|
| 08:28:48 PM | GoodGuy | Not at all.. Please do
|
| 08:28:55 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: yes, they order from a reputable firm, not the email spammers
|
| 08:29:26 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: ask your doctor, they might give you a lead...
|
| 08:29:47 PM | GoodGuy | It always seems strange... Most meds are created in the USA and cost more here than Canada and other nations
|
| 08:30:04 PM | GoodGuy | Good idea revdjenk .. I'll ask next appt
|
| 08:31:14 PM | GoodGuy | My wife has some unusual medicine plan
|
| 08:31:21 PM | revdjenk | Medicare has not been given permission by Congress to be able to haggle for price with pharmaceutical companies, that's why. So they purchase at the going rate.
|
| 08:31:35 PM | GoodGuy | one time it costs a $100.. next time over $200
|
| 08:31:42 PM | revdjenk | yikes
|
| 08:32:03 PM | GoodGuy | actually more. that was just an example
|
| 08:32:37 PM | GoodGuy | Medicare pays for a name brand needle and it is cheap
|
| 08:32:44 PM | revdjenk | One of my dad's meds was 2500 annually in US just 600 from Canada.
|
| 08:32:51 PM | GoodGuy | Next purchase they wanted about $60
|
| 08:32:56 PM | revdjenk | one example
|
| 08:33:19 PM | GoodGuy | and we wonder why the debt is so high
|
| 08:33:25 PM | revdjenk | yup
|
| 08:33:50 PM | GoodGuy | although most med companies that create them are US based
|
| 08:34:04 PM | _Jot_ | oh look, Christmas Wells is there too
|
| 08:34:05 PM | GoodGuy | They want the innovation to continue
|
| 08:34:06 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: as long as it is sharp and clean!
|
| 08:34:28 PM | GoodGuy | My wife worried the house brand wasnt as sharp
|
| 08:34:50 PM | GoodGuy | I said I'll live with it for that diff
|
| 08:35:10 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD doing her best to hug everybody and infect them with the cold so they don't/can't have to come next week
|
| 08:35:26 PM | GoodGuy | I didnt really notice any diff in use and I am the one taking the injections
|
| 08:35:56 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: but when the copyright period is about to come to an end, the pharm changes the meds 'recipe' and get another 15 years added on! Those ar e the kinds of tricks, ththey pull
|
| 08:35:57 PM | GoodGuy | I had a female doctor and she had to work to convince me to take insulin
|
| 08:36:20 PM | GoodGuy | I didnt know that one revdjenk
|
| 08:36:26 PM | revdjenk | Well, if that is what you need to do to control it...
|
| 08:36:52 PM | GoodGuy | Several of my costly meds went generic recently
|
| 08:37:07 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: NPR did a report on that a few months ago.
|
| 08:37:15 PM | GoodGuy | Lipator they wouldnt pay for
|
| 08:37:30 PM | revdjenk | yikes
|
| 08:37:31 PM | GoodGuy | so my doc switched to another one
|
| 08:37:49 PM | Guest_3010 | GoodGuy they find a new use for the med to keep the patien inforce
|
| 08:37:54 PM | GoodGuy | Then it came out in a generic and we use that
|
| 08:38:17 PM | GoodGuy | They are in it for the profit
|
| 08:38:18 PM | Guest_3010 | paten
|
| 08:38:37 PM | GoodGuy | It is probably like software
|
| 08:38:41 PM | revdjenk | what? profit? Is that the way capitalism works...hee hee
|
| 08:39:03 PM | GoodGuy | First copy costs a million dollars.. next ones cost $10
|
| 08:39:08 PM | _Jot_ | don't forget not actually curing people - not even knowing if it is possible or not, because it isn't profitable to cure people
|
| 08:39:21 PM | revdjenk | It's 'sing along with Mitch...er ... um ... Eric
|
| 08:39:37 PM | GoodGuy | They pay for the R & D with the rest of the sales
|
| 08:39:56 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD: Okay, I forgot my hat at home, but I'm wearing red, that's a christmas-colour, it is enough, right?
|
| 08:39:57 PM | revdjenk | Is that Mrs. Robbie in the blue?
|
| 08:40:03 PM | Guest_3010 | GoodGuy I dont mind the profit motive but it seems everyone is trying to milk Americans
|
| 08:40:09 PM | _Jot_ | revdjenk,that's photographer Heather
|
| 08:40:21 PM | revdjenk | ah, thanks _Jot_
|
| 08:40:29 PM | GoodGuy | in my first job, I worked on an insurance program
|
| 08:40:54 PM | GoodGuy | a friend worked on a clinic billing system written in assembler
|
| 08:41:14 PM | revdjenk | Guest_3010: and the Americans with insurance usually pay the higher costs, too.
|
| 08:41:15 PM | GoodGuy | Most programmers didnt want to touch assembler
|
| 08:41:44 PM | GoodGuy | and that app was written by rookies, so it was hard to follow
|
| 08:42:01 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: you MUST be old... assembler.. who uses that now?
|
| 08:42:05 PM | GoodGuy | I used to chip in and help him out of pity lol
|
| 08:42:10 PM | GoodGuy | 61
|
| 08:42:27 PM | revdjenk | I'm a close 59
|
| 08:42:35 PM | GoodGuy | One of the clinics they billed for a leading cancer doc
|
| 08:42:59 PM | GoodGuy | we had high-speed impact printers in those days
|
| 08:43:18 PM | revdjenk | bzzzzzzzzzz
|
| 08:43:33 PM | GoodGuy | I saw bills for $40,000 -$36,00 etc as fast as it could print
|
| 08:43:38 PM | Guest_3010 | They ship all the jobs overseas so they can sell us their overpriced junk
|
| 08:44:11 PM | GoodGuy | when I saw that, I figured who would realy want to cure cancer and lose that gold mine
|
| 08:44:13 PM | Guest_3010 | when i was a kid christmas toys didn't fall apart out of the box
|
| 08:44:26 PM | _Jot_ | Here is a picture of Bekah: http://www.flickr.com/photos/category5tv/6284645029/
|
| 08:44:30 PM | GoodGuy | True Guest_3010
|
| 08:45:25 PM | revdjenk | that's rignt _Jot_ I've seen her before, somewhere.
|
| 08:45:31 PM | GoodGuy | brbias
|
| 08:47:36 PM | _Jot_ | Bekah also showed the whole world how to prepare popcorn on Category 5, I still think that was an amazing part of the show
|
| 08:47:38 PM | robgor | bugga missed the live show was called out at last minute :(
|
| 08:48:21 PM | _Jot_ | robgor, you missed the printer - http://www.cat5.tv/brother and some questions and such, and news
|
| 08:48:51 PM | robgor | yeah oh well have to wait to download the show then
|
| 08:49:30 PM | _Jot_ | you can still watch the BSP, that's still on, they rehearsed for the christmas special next week
|
| 08:49:33 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: I still do the lunchbag, oil, bit
|
| 08:49:33 PM | GoodGuy | I read today that sicko in Conn hammered his hard drives trying to prevent them reading it
|
| 08:49:53 PM | GoodGuy | Might have wiped them as well
|
| 08:50:42 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: so he was a very high functioning autistic, then. Most of the autistics I know may not be that aware.
|
| 08:50:57 PM | _Jot_ | being autistic has nothing to do with what happened
|
| 08:51:19 PM | GoodGuy | Iirc there is a "secret" project of six govts that record every email, phone call, fax , text etc
|
| 08:52:05 PM | GoodGuy | I believe it was the USA, Canada, UK, New Zealand and Australia and another
|
| 08:52:09 PM | _Jot_ | echelon?
|
| 08:52:14 PM | GoodGuy | Yes thats it
|
| 08:52:33 PM | _Jot_ | echelon has been in operation since the 80's or 90's or something like that
|
| 08:52:35 PM | GoodGuy | Love to see their hard drive farm
|
| 08:52:36 PM | robgor | wont be missing the show live next week, funny thing it wont be xmas for me will be boxing day lol
|
| 08:53:05 PM | GoodGuy | Plus I thought they already had a quantum computer
|
| 08:53:08 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: don't think we had enough storage back then...
|
| 08:53:22 PM | GoodGuy | we dont.. they may :-)
|
| 08:53:31 PM | _Jot_ | but it's not really secret or anything, plus they don't have to record that much these days, considering for example by law the ISPs are required to record much information already
|
| 08:54:00 PM | _Jot_ | It's Christa Wells!
|
| 08:54:02 PM | GoodGuy | I watched a show on how they caught Pablo Escabar
|
| 08:54:06 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: and just working from keywords... and algorythms
|
| 08:54:41 PM | GoodGuy | They had gadgets to pick his voice out of every call in Columbia within seconds
|
| 08:55:01 PM | GoodGuy | He had tipsters helping warn him though
|
| 08:55:15 PM | revdjenk | and now we have hipsters
|
| 08:55:17 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, how is Christa doing? Or should we say Christamas? Oh wait, she isn't wearing her hat
|
| 08:55:21 PM | GoodGuy | Escaped just in time numerous times
|
| 08:55:41 PM | GoodGuy | Then they found the informer and later cornered him
|
| 08:56:00 PM | GoodGuy | Trouble is sometimes we are stupid!
|
| 08:56:07 PM | RobbieF | _Jot_ I'll ask as soon as Eric is gone
|
| 08:56:19 PM | GoodGuy | Cant wait to brag and tell the news how we found someone
|
| 08:56:19 PM | _Jot_ | well, I hope Eric is doing okay too :)
|
| 08:56:38 PM | _Jot_ | GoodGuy, I found RobbieF, I'm pointing at him right now!
|
| 08:56:55 PM | GoodGuy | a news guy told Bin Laden we were tracking satellite phones and he isnt stupid
|
| 08:57:02 PM | GoodGuy | Stopped using them,
|
| 08:57:35 PM | GoodGuy | How man trillion dollars did that cost taxpayers
|
| 08:58:10 PM | GoodGuy | many
|
| 08:58:43 PM | robgor | RobbieF I just downloaded a heap of the old shows, what a difference to now, looks alot older than what they are
|
| 08:58:47 PM | GoodGuy | Darn if they didnt do it again... brag how they were finally able to locate him
|
| 08:58:55 PM | RobbieF | ha - robgor - nice
|
| 08:58:59 PM | RobbieF | I hope you still enjoy!
|
| 08:59:10 PM | RobbieF | try to find some Carrie Webb episodes since you'll see her on Tuesday.
|
| 08:59:19 PM | hrbllv | GoodGuy: its still costing the taxpayer trillions
|
| 08:59:34 PM | GoodGuy | True
|
| 08:59:52 PM | GoodGuy | Just sad we dont keep quiet more
|
| 09:00:01 PM | robgor | yeah I upgraded my internet plan to 300G a month so decided to download older shows, got 80 old episodes and still a few more to go lol
|
| 09:00:12 PM | _Jot_ | at least there most of the listening is automated, so that means there is so much data you don't have to worry about you. But in my country, they have to do something to make it happen, with the result that there are more phone-taps and so on than anywhere else in the world
|
| 09:00:59 PM | GoodGuy | I believe they listen for keywords like bomb etc
|
| 09:01:16 PM | GoodGuy | I wondered about encryption
|
| 09:01:17 PM | _Jot_ | I set up us the bomb?
|
| 09:01:21 PM | robgor | hillary has been on the show a long time seen her on 100ish
|
| 09:01:36 PM | GoodGuy | wouldnt be useful if that stopped it
|
| 09:02:24 PM | GoodGuy | Out of a zillion conversations, something has to trigger them to follow up
|
| 09:02:30 PM | _Jot_ | it feels like all the co-hosts have been on there forever :)
|
| 09:02:57 PM | RobbieF | Now I can ask
|
| 09:02:57 PM | _Jot_ | but it's because they are all great co-hosts
|
| 09:03:06 PM | RobbieF | Christa says: "Oh um, Swell and such"
|
| 09:03:12 PM | RobbieF | (in honesty, I think she works too late)
|
| 09:03:18 PM | RobbieF | during Christmas, she adds.
|
| 09:03:36 PM | RobbieF | the rest of the time she sleeps until 3 in the afternoon and works for 2 hours a day before eating and going back to bed.
|
| 09:03:58 PM | _Jot_ | wow, 2 hours a day, and that in her condition, that sounds too much
|
| 09:04:11 PM | RobbieF | her arms have grown back
|
| 09:04:49 PM | _Jot_ | I think I even saw those stubbly moving thingies at the end of the arms, fingers or such? So be cautious, I hear they can be used as lethal weapons
|
| 09:04:53 PM | robgor | didnt realise she lost them lol
|
| 09:05:15 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF - Do you use Zorin 6?
|
| 09:05:35 PM | GoodGuy | I tried Zorin 6 Core and liked it
|
| 09:06:05 PM | RobbieF | no I'm on Zorin 5
|
| 09:06:07 PM | GoodGuy | But it wouldnt search for programs beyond the first character
|
| 09:06:29 PM | GoodGuy | If I searched for F it would show Firefox and others
|
| 09:06:59 PM | GoodGuy | If I said Fi, it no longer showed the smaller subset
|
| 09:07:38 PM | GoodGuy | It would occasionally work, but most times it showed no hits
|
| 09:07:48 PM | robgor | strange goodguy it works with unity
|
| 09:08:16 PM | GoodGuy | I had no problems with Ubuntu 12.04 doing it
|
| 09:08:39 PM | _Jot_ | by the way RobbieF, where you in EU a few days ago? I saw your account online, when I logged in to check on things and such
|
| 09:08:58 PM | GoodGuy | I have a secone partition I use to play with various Linux installs
|
| 09:09:25 PM | GoodGuy | Use this one for my actual use of Linux
|
| 09:09:29 PM | GoodGuy | second
|
| 09:09:31 PM | robgor | ok goodguy just cheked this system and it is 12.04 maybe 12.10 no go but it should work
|
| 09:10:09 PM | GoodGuy | You tried a search in the menus by beginning of name?
|
| 09:10:20 PM | GoodGuy | Zorin 6?
|
| 09:10:21 PM | RobbieF | Yes _Jot_ I was
|
| 09:10:24 PM | RobbieF | didn't see you.
|
| 09:10:38 PM | robgor | I might try out steam as its going to be avaible to the puble this week I believe
|
| 09:10:55 PM | robgor | public
|
| 09:11:04 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, that's okay :) there have been issues with the friendslist since they changed it back when, I did send a message, to check if it was you or if something else happened, but got problems after that
|
| 09:11:18 PM | Guest_3010 | GoodGuy If you like Zorin you may like cylon linux azs well
|
| 09:11:29 PM | GoodGuy | I just read about that
|
| 09:11:39 PM | GoodGuy | Zorin looked pretty nice
|
| 09:11:57 PM | GoodGuy | I installed Mint 14 at the moment
|
| 09:12:05 PM | GoodGuy | seems pretty good
|
| 09:12:42 PM | GoodGuy | This Linux is PinguyOS 11.10 iirc'
|
| 09:12:54 PM | robgor | so much choice what to use, I just use zorin, used ubuntu untill unity came along, dont like it for a desktop, tablet it would be fine
|
| 09:12:58 PM | GoodGuy | It is PinguyOS for sure
|
| 09:13:12 PM | GoodGuy | I dont care for it either
|
| 09:13:28 PM | GoodGuy | I tried it to give it a chance
|
| 09:14:01 PM | GoodGuy | 12.04 LTS worked better for me
|
| 09:14:26 PM | _Jot_ | that's the nice thing about linux, so many choices :)
|
| 09:14:31 PM | GoodGuy | 12.10 had a few bugs in my system
|
| 09:14:35 PM | _Jot_ | and being able to use what you want
|
| 09:14:45 PM | GoodGuy | Love Linux for that
|
| 09:14:47 PM | robgor | anyone got suggestions for ups software for linux with a gui?
|
| 09:14:52 PM | Guest_3010 | 10.04 was the best i think
|
| 09:15:08 PM | GoodGuy | My wife refused to try Linux for years
|
| 09:15:29 PM | hrbllv | I agree Guest_3010
|
| 09:15:38 PM | GoodGuy | Her Windows started locking up and she tried it just to be able to get it running
|
| 09:15:41 PM | _Jot_ | you already googled 'linux ups software gui' robgor?
|
| 09:16:20 PM | GoodGuy | Now she loves it and only uses a fresh WinXP install for a few programs she wants that dont run on Linux
|
| 09:16:31 PM | GoodGuy | 10.04 also
|
| 09:16:55 PM | GoodGuy | I had her try the newer ones and they slow her old PC down
|
| 09:17:19 PM | robgor | what I have found is for the command line which is fine by me, but its for a work pc and need a gui so the boss can check it, he's a windows person not linux person
|
| 09:17:25 PM | GoodGuy | I suggested why not buy her a newer PC
|
| 09:17:46 PM | GoodGuy | she is happy with her old one as long as it runs 10.04
|
| 09:17:47 PM | hrbllv | Ubuntu 10,04 was great - now Kubuntu 12.04 is good
|
| 09:17:58 PM | _Jot_ | robgor, for example http://gapcmon.sourceforge.net/
|
| 09:18:12 PM | GoodGuy | Her PC is an old AMD T-Bird 1.4Ghz
|
| 09:18:26 PM | GoodGuy | newer versions make it drag
|
| 09:18:50 PM | GoodGuy | old memory also which costs more to upgrade
|
| 09:19:10 PM | GoodGuy | dont want to invest more cash in an old PC
|
| 09:19:30 PM | GoodGuy | She is happy with it for what she does
|
| 09:19:45 PM | Guest_3010 | hrbllv: havent tried kde lately xandro was the last
|
| 09:19:47 PM | _Jot_ | for what you pay for memory for such systems (and my computer too) you can buy almost a whole motherboard with integrated processor and memory these days
|
| 09:20:00 PM | GoodGuy | Facebook, web and a few simple games
|
| 09:20:25 PM | GoodGuy | She wanted Spider Solitaire from XP, so I ran it under CrossOver
|
| 09:20:50 PM | GoodGuy | She was happy as a lark once that was running
|
| 09:21:05 PM | _Jot_ | she won't like windows 8 - it doesn't come with any games, not even solitaire
|
| 09:21:31 PM | GoodGuy | Can it run the copy from WiXP?
|
| 09:21:35 PM | robgor | hmm maybe I should leave it I had problems with the software for the cyberpower ups, crashed the system, rebooted and errors where coming up. removed it and all is fine again
|
| 09:22:12 PM | Guest_3010 | Jot and Debian comes with too many games
|
| 09:22:14 PM | _Jot_ | GoodGuy, haven't tried. You can download solitaire and other games through the software-store-thing they have (and free too) but it doesn't come out of the box with anything like that
|
| 09:22:25 PM | GoodGuy | That is the on;y game she runs.. rest are flash games from Facebook and other sites I am guessing
|
| 09:22:55 PM | _Jot_ | robgor, you may want to search for that model and linux and see if anything comes up
|
| 09:23:12 PM | GoodGuy | Dont ask me why I buy them.. stupid I guess just being honest
|
| 09:23:42 PM | _Jot_ | I have much more games than I play too, but I figure, I have to keep myself busy all my life, at least this way I might have something to do
|
| 09:23:50 PM | GoodGuy | I like the idea, but usually don't feel well enough to spend time figuring them out
|
| 09:24:42 PM | _Jot_ | I have games like that too, fortunatly through the magic like internet there are solutions and walkthroughs and cheats and so on to make games easier
|
| 09:24:47 PM | robgor | thanks jot, I might just leave it, todays my last day before xmas holidays and last thing I want is problems with the pc. The ups is working just not the monitoring of it
|
| 09:24:50 PM | GoodGuy | when I do feel a little better, I play with Linux or watch tech shows on a WD Live TV in the front room
|
| 09:24:53 PM | _Jot_ | I mean, sometimes you just want to eperience the story of a game
|
