LOOOL 01:03 < RangerZ1> and their system had cascading failure ... corp wide 01:03 <@Dagmar> Sweet! 01:03 < RangerZ1> HAHA 01:04 <@Dagmar> RangerZ: I knew something was up when the regional manager gave us sob stories about how the place wasn't making any money, and the night shift would just have to suck it 01:04 <@Dagmar> I knew how much the lease on the place was, and I knew how much the night shift was doing in business each night. 01:04 < RangerZ1> hell the funniest part was it was -after- someone talked about it in the 2600 magazine , and at the time (or just after) my mom was hired by an outside firm to audit the stores, lol 01:05 < RangerZ1> ouch 01:05 < RangerZ1> thats funny 01:05 <@Dagmar> ...and after working more than a few double shifts and the odd _triple_, I knew what the other shifts were bringing in. 01:06 <@Dagmar> 'cuz at 2am if you wanted a sit down eaterie in Nashville, Perkins was _it_ 01:06 <@Dagmar> ...and a whole lot of people would come in just for "the freakshow" 01:06 -!- InfoSecDog [~user@c-50-155-6-109.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] has quit [] 01:06 <@Dagmar> ...which it absolutely was. :) 01:07 < RangerZ1> ...just b/c YOU invited them... 01:07 < RangerZ1> hehe 01:07 <@Dagmar> No, we were just all going there. 01:08 <@Dagmar> I was actually worried when I started working there that I wouldn't have time to see my friends much anymore 01:08 <@Dagmar> Silly me. 01:08 <@Dagmar> I actualy saw _more_ of most of them, without having to scream over a PA system 01:09 < aestetix> Dagmar: you were a freakshow? 01:09 <@Dagmar> For various values of yes. 01:09 <@Dagmar> You've never heard me mention my "waking up" moment in front of the TV watching Soul Train? 01:10 < RangerZ1> hell, neither have I actually 01:10 <@Dagmar> I'm a raver. 01:10 <@Dagmar> I used to run around dance/nightclubs looking like an absolute lunatic. 01:10 < aestetix> fucking ravers 01:10 <@Dagmar> ...and a very professional lunatic at that. 01:10 <@Dagmar> I ironed practically all of my stuff. 01:11 <@Dagmar> So I'd usually be wearing a really oversized shirt with an abstract pattern on it... 01:11 <@Dagmar> Either wide-legged raver pants or some very loose fitting cuffed slacks of egyptian linen. 01:11 <@Dagmar> Like Dockers, but _not_ blue collar 01:12 <@Dagmar> Short-topped moccasin boots. 01:12 <@Dagmar> For awhile I had a pair of strictly vanity sunglasses with one round blue lens and one oval purple lens 01:12 < aestetix> Did you have a whistle? 01:12 <@Dagmar> Oh... and a hat made of muppetly felt that looked like dreadlocks. 01:13 <@Dagmar> Of course I had a whistle. 01:13 <@Dagmar> Usually tucked away in my shirt tho 01:13 < aestetix> Candy kid? 01:13 <@Dagmar> No. I was clearly not a _candy_ kid 01:13 <@Dagmar> Okay so maybe I did often tote out giant pixy sticks smuggled in my clothes 01:14 <@Dagmar> ...but I looked like a six-foot tall dancing muppet 01:14 < aestetix> When did you stop raving? 01:14 <@Dagmar> One eaarly Saturday morning, I'm sitting there on the couch watching Soul Train, looking for some interesting paradigms to maybe pilfer some techniques from, I see That One Guy. 01:15 <@Dagmar> You know, the one who is wearing some full body mascot costume. 01:15 <@Dagmar> ...and I think, "What the fuck makes this guy think he should dress up like that?" 01:15 <@Dagmar> ...and then my eyes wandered over to the other end of the couch where I see what I was wearing in a nightclub just two hours ago. 01:15 <@Dagmar> "Fuck." 01:16 <@Dagmar> "I *am* That Guy." 01:16 <@Dagmar> My _exact_ words, spoken aloud. 01:16 < aestetix> Did you live in a rave cave? 01:16 <@Dagmar> I mean, I did get noticed _a lot_. 01:17 <@Dagmar> aestetix: No, I lived in a two-bedroom apartment. 01:17 <@Dagmar> Nevermind that for awhile one room was "The Pillow Room" 01:17 < aestetix> flyer wall? 01:17 <@Dagmar> No, I put them in a shoebox. 01:17 <@Dagmar> Now I have two shoeboxes and five giant poster frames on the wall full of flyers. 01:18 < aestetix> "Hey baby, wanna come upstairs and look at my rave flyers?" 01:19 < RangerZ1> god... This could have easily gotten me a "talk" from HR... 01:19 <@Dagmar> Erm... no. I suspect the fact that I had christmas lights all over the place... hehe 01:19 < RangerZ1> texted a female grad student about LaTeX document prep.. [I can help you set it up, if you want, and show you a lot of tricks, b/c latex can be really tricky the first time you use it] 01:19 <@Dagmar> aestetix: You'll hate this but there was no need to talk of seeing a flyer collection. 01:19 <@Dagmar> aestetix: My bedroom featured the following... 01:20 <@Dagmar> aestetix: One dresser. 01:20 <@Dagmar> aestetix: One lamp. 01:20 <@Dagmar> aestetix: One nightstand. 01:20 <@Dagmar> aestetix: ...and a queen sized waterbed with padded rails and removable eyebolts, with black satin sheets. 01:21 <@Dagmar> What do you expect from a guy who can dance at 130-180 BPM for 14 hours straight. 01:21 < aestetix> a heart attack 01:22 <@Dagmar> ...and there is a certain type of girl who takes note of such things when you dress like a hallucination. 01:22 <@Dagmar> "What I do have is a special set of skills." 01:22 <@Dagmar> LOL 01:23 <@Dagmar> aestetix: Yeah well, no heart attack. Not really even the chance of one. 01:23 <@Dagmar> I _really_ liked dancing. 01:23 <@Dagmar> People who try that without being in shape first have heart attacks. 01:23 <@Dagmar> I did it pretty much every weekend. 01:23 <@Dagmar> ...and 2-3 hours 2-3 other nights of the week 01:24 <@Dagmar> I was _in shape_. 01:24 <@Dagmar> I could run ten miles without even getting tired 01:24 <@Dagmar> ...and none of that limp-wristed "jogging" speed. 01:24 < aestetix> Can you do any of this now? 01:24 <@Dagmar> Fuck no. 01:25 <@Dagmar> Although I can *walk* about ten miles without caring 01:25 <@Dagmar> My knees are such a mess that if I actually _run_ more than about fifty yards, THERE IS AN ASS BEATING ABOUT TO HAPPEN. 01:26 <@Dagmar> I do the walking thing rather frequently for Ingress stuff 01:28 <@Dagmar> I do not generally walk _over_ capital hill, because it's actually a pretty damn BIG hill, but when I go downtown to play, my viable parking zone is basically anywhere within 10-15 blocks of the river 01:28 <@Dagmar> I'll cover 40-50 blocks 01:29 <@Dagmar> If it were slightly less freezing I'd probably have been doing that tonight actually 01:30 <@Dagmar> I've put the entire downtown area under fields that used every portal on my own before 01:30 <@Dagmar> It was just a matter of when I'd finally get bored of it 01:40 < RangerZ1> man... NVidia fucked up.... their GTX 970 cards are labeled 4GB, but they have 1/2 GB reserved(or disabled or something) and you can only use 3.5GB, and apparently it makes the games/software run like SHIT if they use what the card reports you should be able to use 01:41 < RangerZ1> Dagmar: apparently Atlanta is also having a news conf. tomorrow with google 01:45 < RangerZ1> http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/NVIDIA-Discloses-Full-Memory-Structure-and-Limitations-GTX-970 01:45 <@Dagmar> Yeah I think they're going to formally announce that they're opening up shop for Google Fiber in multiple cities 01:46 <@Dagmar> If someone wants to build a high-speed, properly maintained network in my city, hell... I'll go _help_ them. 01:46 <@Dagmar> Let's make some packets FLOW bitches! 01:47 <@Dagmar> Unlike San Francisco, there's not a BAJILLION people every four square blocks 01:47 <@Dagmar> Could we make gigabit across-town transit happen? Absolutely 01:50 < RangerZ1> ohohohoh.... Nvidia definately sold the 970 as wrong material 01:50 < RangerZ1> only 1.75 MB l2 cache, not 2 MB 01:50 < RangerZ1> and for L2... that is BIG DEAL 01:50 <@Dagmar> The class action lawyers will be circling 01:50 < _NSAKEY> That's a shame too. 01:51 < RangerZ1> yeah 01:51 < _NSAKEY> The 970s are a great deal for password crackers right now. 01:51 <@Dagmar> GAMES DAMNIT 01:51 <@Dagmar> USE THEM FOR GAMES 01:51 <@Dagmar> heh 01:51 < RangerZ1> ^ 01:51 <@Dagmar> Stop driving the price of my entertainment hardware up 01:51 < _NSAKEY> Anything more than 2GB of RAM is pretty much a waste for that sort of role, though, so I guess it doesn't matter. 01:52 < RangerZ1> not really 01:52 < RangerZ1> high texture packs 01:52 < _NSAKEY> Dagmar: You're referring to the bitcoin speculators. Those all dried up by this time last year. 01:52 <@Dagmar> Yeah well, some of the games now can actually *do* something meaningful with that much space 01:52 < RangerZ1> I have a 2GB 770, and they have 4GB versions 01:52 < _NSAKEY> RangerZ1: I'm referring to password cracking. Anything more than 2GB of VRAM is a waste unless you're using some gigantic wordlist. 01:52 < RangerZ1> 4GB is what you need for 4k gaming 01:52 < RangerZ1> ahh 01:52 < RangerZ1> who cares about password crasking 01:52 < RangerZ1> lol 01:52 < RangerZ1> cracking* even 01:52 <@Dagmar> No, 4Gb is what you need to run the latest Elder Scrolls game 01:52 <@Dagmar> hehe 01:53 < _NSAKEY> I laughed so hard when newegg started pushing bitcoin mining bundles late in 2013... 01:53 < RangerZ1> :/ 01:53 < RangerZ1> sadly thats what hurt AMD's reputation b/c miners at up ALL their cards 01:53 <@Dagmar> You know every time they release one, people come along and go "Well... this is all hugely detailed... but we think you should be able to see individual splinters in each and every weathered plank." 01:54 < RangerZ1> and cards could never sell _for_ MSRP , let alone for sale 01:54 < _NSAKEY> ... Because they started selling those bundles immediately after all the speculators who had already been into bitcoin mining were complaining about the difficulty going up. 01:54 < _NSAKEY> By the time newegg started selling bundles, they were worthless. 01:54 < _NSAKEY> ASICs had already become the preferred mining method. 01:55 < _NSAKEY> So they were essentially just selling hashcat rigs without cases, since all the bitcoin miners had these setups that were too cheesy to even call "ghetto." 01:56 < aestetix> https://twitter.com/LizardMafia/status/559963134006292481 01:56 < PigBot`> Title: Lizard Squad on Twitter: "Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, AIM, Hipchat #offline #LizardSquad" (at twitter.com) 01:58 <@Dagmar> 1. no one cares about AIM 01:58 <@Dagmar> 2.

It's been a fuck-ton long ass time since I've been on here.. 22:32 <@Dagmar> ...and frankly I'm still partial to the idea of a projector because the whole reason I got a Pi was it has NTSC output and that's what this projector takes 22:32 < n00gums> Pico projector? 22:33 <@Dagmar> lol no those are actually good 22:33 <@Dagmar> This thing has half-VGA resolution 22:33 <@Dagmar> ...and, I shit you not, it uses three _cheap_ LEDs to backlight the imaging array 22:33 <@Dagmar> Not even high-brightness models 22:34 <@Dagmar> Just ancient looking T-1 3/4 22:34 <@Dagmar> Those are going _away_ when I get around to it 22:34 <@Dagmar> The thing will be infinitely better with three decent high-brightness LEDs in it 22:34 <@Dagmar> It'll still probably be washed out and shitty, but what do you expect for something that costs $25 22:35 < n00gums> I was always curious about those cheap hand-held projectors 22:35 <@Dagmar> http://www.amazon.com/Eyeclops-04959-EyeClops-Mini-Projector/dp/B0024I8H42 <-- so not worth $99 22:36 < n00gums> yeah, I see a ton of knock-offs like that on ebay.. always wondered if they'd be ok to watch movies on a white sheet outside at night... 22:36 <@Dagmar> Well, I got this one for $25 on ebay 22:36 <@Dagmar> ...primarily because it'll run off whatever bullshit batteries you want to connect to ir 22:36 <@Dagmar> s/ir/it/ 22:37 <@Dagmar> ...which means if I give it a half-decent cell phone battery it'll be quite happy about it 22:37 < n00gums> not like cinema quality, but just something ok enough to provide entertainment while drinking around a firepit 22:37 <@Dagmar> I was thinking more along the lines of projecting arcane glyphs on the wall 22:37 < n00gums> Ah, it runs off batteries? 22:37 <@Dagmar> Yeah 22:37 <@Dagmar> Switching those out for a couple of handicam batteries is easy work 22:38 <@Dagmar> The one my little Chumby used to use was one they selected because it had the overvoltage protection built into it 22:39 <@Dagmar> Yes, I have different views about how technology should look 22:39 <@Dagmar> Back int he 90's they started making computers _beige_ because they felt it would make them look more innocuous and less scary 22:40 <@Dagmar> I say _screw that_. 22:40 <@Dagmar> I want my computing technology to scare small children and animals. 22:40 < n00gums> So, clown painted? 22:41 < n00gums> or rather, clown themes 22:41 < n00gums> er themed 22:41 <@Dagmar> Dude if I got my hands on an animatronic clown head I'd be all over it 22:41 <@Dagmar> I'm skill kicking myself for not buying that ghoul at Walgreens 22:41 <@Dagmar> Two years ago around HAlloween they got a four and a half foot tall _ghoul_ in for sale 22:41 <@Dagmar> Complete with moving eyes and jaw 22:42 <@Dagmar> My plate was a little full so I figured I'd just buy one next year 22:42 <@Dagmar> They haven't had one since 22:42 <@Dagmar> I would have that thing greet me when I came in the front door. 22:44 < n00gums> I'd just try to figure out a way for it to pour me a beer and serve it to my lazy ass wherever I am... 22:44 <@Dagmar> What I would _really_ like for christmas is a voice recognition program that is efficient enough to run on a Pi 22:44 < RangerZ> *cough* 22:44 < n00gums> still thinking the DraftDrone (tm) is a good idea 22:44 < RangerZ> not that IBM wrote one for android that works -on device- 22:45 < RangerZ> and integrated it into their android keyboard... 22:45 <@Dagmar> I already looked into that.
