| 07:00:21 PM | GoodGuy98 | Neat! What type of work are you doing?
|
| 07:00:24 PM | Sparklyballs | whoa, HUGE hands
|
| 07:01:13 PM | Sparklyballs | the sweat from a large man's knee joint is better than lumpy drink
|
| 07:01:14 PM | Dennis_Kelley | I work for USIC, I locate underground utilities! like electric, gas, phone, cable
|
| 07:02:13 PM | GoodGuy98 | We could have used your help in the past... Never was sure where the supply lines were.. Thankfully we didn't hit one
|
| 07:02:13 PM | agamotto | Hallo, everyone
|
| 07:02:38 PM | GoodGuy98 | Does that use ground penetrating radar?
|
| 07:02:42 PM | GoodGuy98 | Hi agamotto
|
| 07:02:44 PM | Dennis_Kelley | thankfully! could have been bad.
|
| 07:02:45 PM | Sparklyballs | Dennis_Kelley: , do you use two wooden rods ?

|
| 07:03:53 PM | ABQTKY | The suspense builds...

|
| 07:10:07 PM | agamotto | Yerba Maté es muy excellente!
|
| 07:10:17 PM | agamotto | My mistake
|
| 07:10:45 PM | SoundPro69 | It's yerba mate. (No written accent makes the spoken accent to fall on the a)
|
| 07:10:51 PM | agamotto | Got it
|
| 07:11:06 PM | Sparklyballs | thats hamp shier to north merikans
|
| 07:11:15 PM | agamotto | oobooNtu?
|
| 07:11:28 PM | SoundPro69 | SashaD, it does contain caffeine
|
| 07:12:08 PM | SashaD | I will never mispronounce it now
|
| 07:12:08 PM | GoodGuy98 | There was a Ubuntu MATE 14.04 LTS... just not official according to Canonical
|
| 07:13:46 PM | jlim | SashaD: lol
|
| 07:14:15 PM | jlim | all my ubuntu boxes are lts
|
| 07:14:25 PM | jlim | zfs!!!!!!
|
| 07:14:38 PM | jlim | that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
| 07:14:53 PM | jlim | snappy
|
| 07:15:01 PM | jlim | also awesome
|
| 07:15:42 PM | lichenx1 | I think Martin is sitting on the floor
|
| 07:16:04 PM | SashaD | He makes me look tall!
|
| 07:16:10 PM | lichenx1 | lol
|
| 07:16:54 PM | SoundPro69 | SashaD, RobbieF, I have a question for your guest: I am a fan of Ubuntu Studio which, by default, comes with XFCE. Can I switch it to MATE without compatibility issues? And also? Is it very heavy in terms of resources compared to XFCE?
|
| 07:17:41 PM | SoundPro69 | SashaD, RobbieF, additionally, does Ubuntu studio release on the same day as the main Ubuntu distro?
|
| 07:18:36 PM | jlim | nope
|
| 07:18:41 PM | jlim | just as light
|
| 07:18:57 PM | MangleFox70_ | Heyo! o/
|
| 07:19:03 PM | SoundPro69 | Cool jlim. Thanks
|
| 07:19:30 PM | lichenx1 | I have a question, when I try to uninstall firefox, it asks me to uninstall ubuntu-mate-core, when I'd like to keep mate applications, is there a way around this?
|
| 07:19:57 PM | jlim | i have it running on my mom's p4 single core
|
| 07:20:02 PM | agamotto | That does seem odd
|
| 07:21:17 PM | lichenx1 | agamotto, if you're talking to me, I don't think I'm the only one
|
| 07:21:56 PM | agamotto | I am on Lint w/Cinnamon, so I would have to claim ignorance.
|
| 07:22:08 PM | Sparklyballs | can i get it on my toaster ?
|
| 07:22:10 PM | MangleFox70_ | -_-
|
| 07:23:01 PM | agamotto | Ahhh, dependency hell
|
| 07:23:04 PM | jlim | ide ssd hhhhmmm
|
| 07:23:14 PM | jlim | gotta look into that
|
| 07:23:36 PM | lichenx1 | thanks for answering
|
| 07:23:51 PM | lichenx1 | thanks SashaD
|
| 07:24:09 PM | SashaD | Your welcome... thank you for the question :)
|
| 07:24:20 PM | lichenx1 | I saw you trying lol
|
| 07:24:54 PM | jlim | i loaded compiz in mate
|
| 07:25:14 PM | jlim | or ubuntu mate i should say
|
| 07:25:29 PM | SoundPro69 | SashaD, RobbieF, one more question: What is the minimum resolution required for Ubuntu MATE? I have an old Asus netbook (1024x600) on which I usually cannot see the full dialog boxes on the regular Unity desktop. Would Ubuntu MATE ba better option, please?
|
| 07:27:45 PM | SoundPro69 | Awesome. Thank you SashaD
|
| 07:28:16 PM | SashaD | you are welcome :)
|
| 07:28:28 PM | jlim | gotta try it
|
| 07:28:46 PM | jlim | been using crunchbang on my netbook
|
| 07:28:59 PM | lichenx1 | I also had another question, If I'm on ubuntu mate but choose to use awesomewm, if I uninstalled ubuntu-mate-core would I end up breaking anything?
|
| 07:29:04 PM | SoundPro69 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_(beverage)
|
| 07:29:24 PM | jlim | SashaD: question does ZFS work in ubuntu mate?
|
| 07:29:30 PM | agamotto | True, but unfortunately there has to be SOME cut-off point
|
| 07:30:42 PM | agamotto | Most of it has to do with the sheer cost of modern kit outside the 1st world nations, so to speak
|
| 07:30:59 PM | GoodGuy98 | I used to work as a mainframe systems programmer... I still remember our company dumping a ton of PCs into the trash bins because of Y2K... never thought of donating them
|
| 07:31:04 PM | Sparklyballs | is his wife now happy ?
|
| 07:31:14 PM | agamotto | I would hope
|
| 07:31:35 PM | GoodGuy98 | Dumped a good amount of bar code readers.. wish I would have asked for one, but didnt think of it
|
| 07:32:58 PM | agamotto | I have to admit... Home Depot seems to be doing a good job of recycling/decomissioning the hardware. Now if we could just get IT to move faster on the software side...
|
| 07:33:14 PM | lichenx1 | Thanks, SashaD and Martin
|
| 07:34:13 PM | GoodGuy98 | SashaD, it is not awesome compared to what you are used to
|
| 07:34:15 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | Thanks to Martin
|
| 07:34:25 PM | jlim | awesome is awesome!
|
| 07:34:37 PM | lichenx1 | ^
|
| 07:34:41 PM | jlim | SashaD: thanks for asking
|
| 07:34:41 PM | agamotto | Hmmm, so a new Mint should be coming out after my birthday... yay!
|
| 07:34:52 PM | GoodGuy98 | Isnt it a tiling window manager?
|
| 07:34:56 PM | lichenx1 | yes
|
| 07:35:21 PM | GoodGuy98 | I saw it mentioned on Linux Action Show awhile back
|
| 07:36:00 PM | SoundPro69 | Sweet 16 SashaD?
|
| 07:36:00 PM | Sparklyballs | happy birthday SashaD
|
| 07:36:10 PM | agamotto | Yes, nothing like doing interviews around 0400
|
| 07:37:02 PM | SashaD | You are all so AWESOME!!!
|
| 07:37:51 PM | lichenx1 | Cat5 is awesome
|
| 07:38:17 PM | agamotto | RobbieF: You could just move the mug
|
| 07:38:27 PM | SoundPro69 | RobbieF, Great stuff Robbie! Thank you for this!
|
| 07:38:40 PM | jlim | wimpy is popeye?
|
| 07:38:54 PM | jlim | SashaD: Happy Birthday!
|
| 07:39:04 PM | agamotto | The purveyor of Tuesday burgers, yes
|
| 07:40:21 PM | MangleFox70_ | :/
|
| 07:40:34 PM | jlim | RobbieF: \0
|
| 07:41:04 PM | agamotto | Yet, this is still more entertaining than my local news!
|
| 07:41:10 PM | lichenx1 | RobbieF, called it SashaD
|
| 07:41:20 PM | agamotto | SashaD: You don't like breathing wallpaper?
|
| 07:41:57 PM | agamotto | RobbieF: The washroom has a decontamination sequence?
|
| 07:42:06 PM | Sparklyballs | i'd be turning it off when someone was in there....
|
| 07:42:14 PM | jlim | lol
|
| 07:42:37 PM | agamotto | Miss!!! Oh, Miss!!! You seem to have a Dalek over your shoulder!
|
| 07:42:43 PM | popey | jlim: no, popey is popey, wimpy is wimpy
|
| 07:42:43 PM | MangleFox70_ | ESKIn
|
| 07:42:52 PM | jlim | lol
|
| 07:42:54 PM | popey | we live near eachother, but we are separate individuals
|
| 07:43:07 PM | jlim | i keep getting you two mixed up
|
| 07:44:08 PM | jlim | you both work on ubuntu mate?
|
| 07:44:09 PM | Sparklyballs | 123reg not as bad as that fella who deleted his whole hosting server....
|
| 07:44:11 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | Players are really miffed at Blizzard over Diablo players being permanently banned for trying to play Diablo in ubuntu
|
| 07:44:21 PM | lichenx1 | lol
|
| 07:44:32 PM | revdjenk | whoa...almost missed cat5 with SashaD !
|
| 07:44:35 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | or in Linux in general
|
| 07:44:57 PM | agamotto | Dooley_da_Vulcan: What is the big deal?
|
| 07:45:25 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | they see it as a modded system because of playing through wine so they think they are playing
|
| 07:45:31 PM | Sparklyballs | that was pretty slick SashaD
|
| 07:45:50 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | and cheating to do advantageous stuff
|
| 07:45:59 PM | agamotto | Then let Blizzard support Linux... duh!
|
| 07:46:08 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | exactly
|
| 07:46:26 PM | agamotto | Or... alternatively, start letting Blizzard know that you won'
|
| 07:46:29 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | with NO refund on your money
|
| 07:46:31 PM | revdjenk | freeze?
|
| 07:46:37 PM | agamotto | t PAY for their product until they do
|
| 07:47:55 PM | Sparklyballs | format wars on the way
|
| 07:48:11 PM | agamotto | I will skip it and just wait until something like 8k comes out. Of course, at 30" or so, I can't imagine it being that different.
|
| 07:48:53 PM | SoundPro69 | It's a learned ability. But once you learn to appreciate it, there's no way back
|
| 07:49:00 PM | jlim | hahaha
|
| 07:49:05 PM | agamotto | Fraser?
|
| 07:49:13 PM | SoundPro69 | I'll take the "snobby" thing as a compliment ha ha
|
| 07:49:24 PM | GoodGuy98 | Harmony Remote for SashaD
|
| 07:49:36 PM | jlim | don't care too much about surround sound
|
| 07:49:44 PM | revdjenk | back
|
| 07:49:44 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: how close are you sitting to it
|
| 07:50:16 PM | revdjenk | 80
|
| 07:50:19 PM | revdjenk | is bad
|
| 07:51:35 PM | Sparklyballs | it displays "you are dead, please seek medical help immediately" if the level goes below 4
|
| 07:51:52 PM | agamotto | Or, it calls the local organ donor center?
|
| 07:52:37 PM | revdjenk | It may be better as the medicos can place it where they will notice it?
|
| 07:52:38 PM | GoodGuy98 | I was in the hospital with a guy who just had his second leg amputated... He never realized he was severely diabetic until he cut himself working on a drag racing car
|
| 07:52:39 PM | SoundPro69 | OMG agamotto
|
| 07:52:44 PM | agamotto | It would most likely use an infrared sensor/s, like the eye readers for BP and saturation do
|
| 07:52:53 PM | Sparklyballs | bar code on the baby
|
| 07:54:21 PM | Sparklyballs | either that or symantec are cooking the books to drive sales of their software
|
| 07:54:42 PM | revdjenk | a 0day was reported today, a hacker took two weeks to discover a vulnurability through and embadded system in a TOASTER!
|
| 07:54:59 PM | Sparklyballs | burnt my damn muffins
|
| 07:55:06 PM | revdjenk | yes
|
| 07:55:07 PM | lichenx1 | lol
|
| 07:55:17 PM | lichenx1 | yea I don't need help burning my toast
|
| 07:56:06 PM | GoodGuy98 | Darknet
|
| 07:56:08 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | reports of vulnerabilities are all it takes to drive sales, then the patch really doesn't have to do anything, they are patching for something that does not exist
|
| 07:56:18 PM | SoundPro69 | It's the iHack Store
|
| 07:56:34 PM | agamotto | Hopefully, the world will quit using flash altogether
|
| 07:57:07 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | no matter what whenever on the web, you hit a site and flash is required
|
| 07:57:18 PM | revdjenk | Adobe won't get a chance, others are quitting them, anyway
|
| 07:57:20 PM | jlim | a lot of repositories are for penetration testing
|
| 07:57:28 PM | GoodGuy98 | I thought I read google was offering $50,000 to find bugs... some ppl turned it down because they could make more selling it to bad guys
|
| 07:58:03 PM | GoodGuy98 | Flash did announce it was ending Adobe Flash.. believe it was this month
|
| 07:58:16 PM | revdjenk | that was easy for you to say!
|
| 07:58:39 PM | agamotto | revdjenk: One of the reasons I am not into the IoT bandwagon. So far, I like most of my devices rather stupid
|
| 07:59:30 PM | Sparklyballs | 100k is chicken feed in online terms
|
| 07:59:31 PM | revdjenk | agamotto: yes, especially most of those items would be very difficult to upgrade!
|
| 07:59:38 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | it would be like MS coming down on people sharing old MS software from 20 years ago
|
| 08:00:15 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: just a few months ago, you didn't even know what Linux was, and now a Raspberry Pi!!!
|
| 08:00:45 PM | Sparklyballs | don't forget the cute heatsinks RobbieF
|
| 08:01:45 PM | revdjenk | this guy took a drive to a company that recovered everything for him
|
| 08:02:37 PM | lichenx1 | brb signing up for 123-reg
|
| 08:02:42 PM | revdjenk | and not typing dangerous bash commands
|
| 08:02:44 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | would they not have local copies of their code, for modifications
|
| 08:02:48 PM | agamotto | "Blessed be the pessimist, for he hath backups."
|
| 08:03:05 PM | revdjenk | lichenx1: at least they won't have THAT problem for a while!
|
| 08:03:18 PM | lichenx1 | lol
|
| 08:03:30 PM | revdjenk | 3-2-1 backup rule, three backups, two local, one off site
|
| 08:03:57 PM | jlim | do your dev locally then upload to the vps
|
| 08:04:03 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | exactly
|
| 08:04:21 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | develop locally then upload to server
|
| 08:04:25 PM | Sparklyballs | you get what you pay for
|
| 08:04:34 PM | revdjenk | another backup rule, an untested backup, isn't a backup
|
| 08:04:46 PM | lichenx1 | been there revdjenk
|
| 08:04:53 PM | lichenx1 | talk about a surprise lol
|
| 08:04:57 PM | revdjenk | lichenx1: yikes!
|
| 08:06:08 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | so lets see, they say ok, we are not looking at your stuff..... OKAY nobody else is looking
|
| 08:07:36 PM | GoodGuy98 | Titanic II
|
| 08:07:57 PM | agamotto | Sounds fine to me
|
| 08:08:07 PM | jlim | you would think microsoft would done that a long time ago
|
| 08:08:26 PM | revdjenk | now there's a Horsey McHorseface
|
| 08:08:39 PM | SoundPro69 | RobbieF, just FYI, Micro$oft is trying to push Windows 10 down people's throats. I have been ignoring the "Upgrade for free" pop-up for months purposely. Saturday night, it just installed itself. So on Sunday, when I woke up the PC, it said to me "Welcome to Windows 10", after which it presented the conditions to me. I declined them and it uninstal
|
| 08:08:39 PM | SoundPro69 | led and reverted back to my Windows 8.2. This is getting crazy and I think someone will sue them. Granted, my PC was a hostage to this stupid process for about 45 minutes, when I was planning on doing something else.
|
| 08:08:43 PM | jlim | think they finally woke up and smelled the coffee
|
| 08:09:25 PM | revdjenk | SoundPro69: Glad I left MS with Vista at the end of 2005
|
| 08:09:27 PM | GoodGuy98 | Take a look at GWX Control Panel SoundPro69
|
| 08:09:31 PM | lichenx1 | I was so tired of fighting with win10, switched to linux, never looked back
|
| 08:09:32 PM | jlim | microsofties must be happy
|
| 08:09:43 PM | SoundPro69 | RobbieF, Maybe this Micro$oft issue could be a topic of discussion in one of your shows?
|
| 08:09:51 PM | GoodGuy98 | His freeware stops the Win10 hassles
|
| 08:09:53 PM | revdjenk | welcome lichenx1 !!
|
| 08:09:55 PM | RobbieF | :)
|
| 08:10:17 PM | SoundPro69 | lichenx1, I do use Linux on my laptops
|
| 08:10:20 PM | GoodGuy98 | It even deletes the auto downloaded stuff if you wish
|
| 08:10:46 PM | lichenx1 | This was about a month ago, revdjenk been using linux on and off since I bought suse in the store haha
|
| 08:10:56 PM | lichenx1 | I think I was 12 or so
|
| 08:10:57 PM | GoodGuy98 | http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/
|
| 08:11:12 PM | SoundPro69 | Thanks GoodGuy98!
|
| 08:11:34 PM | revdjenk | lichenx1: yes, that would be about right! I bought a Mandrake at Circuit City...
|
| 08:11:36 PM | GoodGuy98 | Welcome... the software is very popular
|
| 08:12:31 PM | lichenx1 | are you about to be 30?
|
| 08:12:41 PM | lichenx1 | I saw mandrake too haha
|
| 08:12:54 PM | GoodGuy98 | Call Comcast if you want to pull out your hair

|
| 08:18:43 PM | MangleFox70_ | Hello
|
| 08:18:56 PM | revdjenk | but its Gif as in Graphics
|
| 08:19:26 PM | revdjenk | I've been away for a few weeks and missed seeing you MangleFox70_
|
| 08:19:29 PM | SashaD | It can't be.... it just doesn't sound good
|
| 08:19:58 PM | MangleFox70_ | Thanks-I've been away too
|
| 08:20:26 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: GIF is for Graphics Interchange Format, so Yes
|
| 08:20:31 PM | revdjenk | it should be
|
| 08:20:33 PM | GoodGuy98 | Win7 System Restore isnt working for me... Runs an hour or more then complains something is wrong and gives up the ghost
|
| 08:20:58 PM | GoodGuy98 | Windows Update wasnt downloading updates
|
| 08:21:02 PM | MangleFox70_ | GHOSSTT
|
| 08:21:44 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy98: wish I could help, but not much win7 knowledge
|
| 08:22:18 PM | BobK54 | If you regularly work in MS doc formats you can set LibreOffice to save in that format all the time. Its in the settings
|
| 08:22:38 PM | GoodGuy98 | I thought I read help with Windows Update was free of charge.. If I did, Microsoft didn't apparently
|
| 08:23:04 PM | GoodGuy98 | Waste 3-45 mins with a MS rep I could barely understand
|
| 08:23:11 PM | GoodGuy98 | 30-45
|
| 08:23:40 PM | revdjenk | BobK54: but you are just helping people stay in that proprietary system. Send the open document. MS Office will open it, although it will complain.
|
| 08:24:09 PM | revdjenk | what I often do, send both formats with a little blurb about LibreOffice.org
|
| 08:24:11 PM | GoodGuy98 | You can thank the EU for that revdjenk
|
| 08:24:22 PM | agamotto | AAA games is about it these days
|
| 08:24:49 PM | BobK54 | Agreed revdjenk. my son ran into that problem with some schoolwork so I made it easier for him to have the "correct" file format for submission
|
| 08:24:50 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy98: Yes!
|
| 08:24:51 PM | GoodGuy98 | I thought they made MS accept it or lose sales of office
|
| 08:26:06 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | I read a long time ago, like 23+ years that it was actually pronounced JIF in an article by creators, I still call it GIF because people would not know what I mean
|
| 08:26:13 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy98: That and the fact that some governments have switched to only using open documents. US is looking into that now, saw a report on that earlier today.
|
| 08:26:14 PM | orangeman | there bug in mate try install audacity it does work robbie
|
| 08:26:18 PM | GoodGuy98 | Large crowds following him around like it was the Beatles
|
| 08:26:51 PM | revdjenk | Dooley_da_Vulcan: the creator actually uses the JIF pronunciation, but what does he know?
|
| 08:26:53 PM | GoodGuy98 | That's what forced them to accept open formats
|
| 08:26:59 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | right
