10:11 <@dasunt> I can do that!
10:25 <@Mirage> RSA token auth for this one customer is annoying because the same code can't be used twice in their system for the systems that use it.  And if their VPN concentrator decides that it took you too long to respond connecting, that counts as a usage...even though it sends a reset on the connection when it "fails"

10:32 <@Mirage> lol..  Our cat Anne, aka "the terrorist", just hopped down off my lap, ran to the side of the doorway coming into the room, then promptly crouched down prepared to pounce on anything that came through the door.
10:33 <@Mirage> She sat there in waiting for ~3-4 minutes until finally giving up becuase nothing came through the door.
11:55  * dasunt tries to phrase a response to a help desk ticket in a way that isn't condescending.
11:55 <@dasunt> Difficulty:  Someone (who should be doing this - this isn't my job) wants to print 17 pages worth of spreadsheets on one page.
11:57 <@Shadow404> heh, scale it to one page and send a link to a microscope on amazon
11:58 <@dasunt> Well, technically the original person is not a shareholder, so....
11:58 <@dasunt> No, there'd probably still be problems down the road.  I probably shouldn't piss off associates.
12:03  * dasunt ponders this response.
12:07 < xray> depends on the size of the sheet of paper. If they want a PDF and you scale it for an E sized paper it might work.
12:45 <@dasunt> Oh, got a response - it should be 8.5 x 11.
12:50 < xray> Maybe the don't intend it to be readable but only for demonstration purposes.
12:51 < xray> In theory with a high enough DPI it would be readable with a magnifying glass. Kind of like micro fiche on paper.
12:55 < aestetix> looking at the news
12:55 < aestetix> boy there really are no adults in washington anymore
13:00 <@rhia> Trump couldn't get his 5B wall when the GOP owned all branches of government for 2 years, he doesn't care about that damned wall. He's been told by Miller and Coulter that he'd be seen as a weak loser if he backs down.
13:00 <@rhia> it's ALL about his fragile ego
13:03 <@NotLarry> rhia: ?
13:04 <@dasunt> Adults in Washington?
13:05 <@dasunt> Adults in London?
13:05 <@dasunt> Seems to be a shortage of adults in government.
13:06 < aestetix> Actually I disagree on the London part.
13:06 < aestetix> I watched a bunch of the House of Commons debate.
13:06 < aestetix> Maybe it was the accents, but they sounded very eloquent in their deep disagreements
13:07 <@dasunt> I will have to admit I do have a small amount of admiration for Theresa May over the Brexit negotiations.
13:07 <@NotLarry> aestetix: You don't think the Washington debate of "no you!" is eloquent?
13:07 < aestetix> lolol
13:08 < aestetix> well dasunt she's in an impossible position
13:08 <@dasunt> NotLarry: I think what you really need to realize is that when Obama was president the liberals never criticized him for doing this.
13:08 < aestetix> There are so many warring factions in Brexit that there is no way she can get a deal that will please everyone.
13:09 < aestetix> In fact, I applaud her. She herself voted remain, and yet she's trying her best to carry out the "leave" vote.
13:09 <@dasunt> I like the quote where someone says if you want to know what it is like for Theresa May, imagine that 52% of the UK voted to build a submarine out of cheese.
13:09 <@rhia> aestetix, compared to listening to Louis Gohmert speak, even Boris Johnson sounds "adult"

13:12 <@rhia> "We all live in a yellow lump of Brie, yellow lump of Brie,..."
13:12 <@dasunt> "We survived two wars, we can build a submarine out of cheese!"
13:17 <@rhia> the analogy does capture the dadaist, if not full kafkaesque reality that is Brexit
14:11 <@dasunt> So what's the Brexit plan now?  Just wait until the car is almost read to drive off a cliff and then see if the panic allows a deal to be made?
14:24 <@Mirage> dasunt: isn't that the current Trump border wall plan?
15:22 <@dasunt> Yep
15:22 <@dasunt> Hmmm:  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46922420
15:22 < PigBot> Nastya Rybka: Russia seizes model who made Trump collusion claim - BBC News (at www.bbc.com) http://tinyurl.com/y8z6awnx
15:23 <@dasunt> I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm usually not one for conspiracy theories, but I'm not going to be surprised if Russia has Trump on video with a prostitute.
18:19 <@rhia> I more suspect detailed bookkeeping indicating money laundering
18:24 < aestetix> rhia: the tax returns would be a nice start
18:24 < aestetix> when can they subpoena them?

20:07 <@Shadow404> aestetix: whenever the house of reps or congress vote to force them
20:07 <@Shadow404> either can do so
20:08 <@Shadow404> not to mention, if the DOJ opens an investigation, they can do the same with less red tape, but that would be far less public

22:10 < K`Tetch_> 14:06:55 «aestetix» Maybe it was the accents, but they sounded very eloquent in their deep disagreements <-- one of my lawyer friends thought that too. They're not. it's just the rules of the commons about how you MUST refer to people
