[00:54]<+Tux2> Okay, I just installed the proprietary gpu driver for my new laptop and I'm getting a consistent 70FPS in minecraft!
[00:54]<@BC_Programming> cool
[00:54]<+Tux2> lol, yeah, now to see if tf2 works on my laptop
[00:56]<+Tux2> ROFL! Just reading through the Steam Install Agreement:
[00:56]<+Tux2> you may not modify the Program, except that, in the case of the Linux version of the Program, you may modify scripts and other documentary and graphical files, but not any files containing the term “bootstrap” in the file name, provided that you do not modify any icons, change any copyright or other notices, or alter this or any other license agreement that is included with the Program, and provided further that any modifications you make ar
[00:56]<+Tux2> e identified by you as modifications from the original Program provided by Valve;
[00:57]<@BC_Programming> lol
[00:57]<+Tux2> Seems linux is more modder friendly
[00:58]<@BC_Programming> no, valve just arbitrarily decided to apply a different license based on platform, which IMO is stupid. Not saying the Linux version should be locked down and all "no changing" but rather that all versions should be at least as 'open' as the openest version, if that makes sense
[00:58]<+Tux2> Yeah, I know
[00:59]<+Tux2> It's still funny to see an exception just for linux
[00:59]<@BC_Programming> otherwise you get the problem where they start to focus on the closed ones :/
[00:59]<@BC_Programming> they figure "hey, that version is open, let the community deal with it"

[09:20]<+camerongray> hey jacky
[09:22]<@jacky> camerongray: Hello
[09:25]<+camerongray> I really want to meet the person who thought "Lets make universal laptop chargers only go to 19v"
[09:30]<+camerongray> Then I find one that can do 20v but doesn't have a big enough connector
[09:33]<+camerongray> jacky: You have electrical knowledge :P
[09:34]<+camerongray> Do you think I'd be fine with a 19v charger when my laptop says 20v on it?
[09:34]<@jacky> I do, however I'm not up-to-date on these things...
[09:34]<@jacky> ... thinking...
[09:35]<+camerongray> I suppose I go to a computer shop and act dumb, if they say it works and it blows up I go mad at them :P
[09:35]<@jacky> and... that is the very reason they will say, "Oh no! you can't DO that... it will ruin your computer"
[09:35]<@jacky> when they really have no idea
[09:35]<+camerongray> lol
[09:36]<+camerongray> This is the same place I overheard "Oh, we dinnae dae Linux mouses, these are all windows mouses"
[09:36]<@BC_Programming> mouses?
[09:36]<@jacky> what is dinnae dae ?
[09:36]<+camerongray> Scots slang for "don't do"
[09:36]<@BC_Programming> it's a strange dialect of Scottish
[09:36]<@jacky> ah
[09:36]<@jacky> BC_Programming: are you being redundant?
[09:37]<@jacky> <g>
[09:37]<@BC_Programming> touche
[09:37]<+camerongray> lol
[09:37]<+camerongray> Then I asked her where the SSDs were, she went away and produced an external HDD
[09:37]<@BC_Programming> I've always wanted to invent an accent, you know, get people guessing
[09:38]<@jacky> BC_Programming: already been done. they call it "rap music"
[09:38]<@jacky> nobody knows what they are really saying
[09:38]<@BC_Programming> mix about 10 accents in there, make up some new words like calling food "kibble" or something
[09:39]<+camerongray> lol!
[09:39]<@jacky> camerongray: an idea: go here: http://www.eham.net/ehamforum/smf/index.php and make a post, asking your question about charging voltages. That's the kind of place where somebody would know. Of course, you need to seperate the wanna-bes from those that know, based on your own gut feeling.
[09:39]<@jacky> I see they have a forum, just for computers. heh
[09:39]<+camerongray> We get that here, people a few miles away have completely different accents
[09:39]<+camerongray> Ahh, might do
[09:39]<@jacky> camerongray: and/or google for more sites like that
[09:39]<+camerongray> I could order one online, but it's fun asking that woman questions
[09:39]<@BC_Programming> Go to a grocery store and ask if they have any pigtins, which of course is spam
[09:39]<@jacky> and/or search for irc channels like that
[09:40]<+camerongray> yeah
[09:40]<@jacky> got to Radio Shack, and ask for a DC transformer
[09:40]<+camerongray> hahaha
[09:40]<+camerongray> I went to the store before looking for a charger that i had reserved, gave up when the guy came over with one of every charger they sold
[09:41]<@jacky> hey... ... he tried.
[09:41]<@jacky> hehe
[09:41]<@jacky> better than the one that won't even come over
[09:41]<+camerongray> That's the problem in PC World, you can't stop them coming over
[09:41]<@BC_Programming> but they're busy talking amongst themselves about idle work gossip
[09:42]<@BC_Programming> yes it is difficult to fight the overwhelming temptation to be smartass
[09:42]<@jacky> BC_Programming: probably discussing percentage differences in charger voltages, huh?
[09:42]<@BC_Programming> While I was in the laptop aisle, looking at laptops
[09:42]<@BC_Programming> somebody came up and said "Are you looking for a laptop"
[09:42]<@jacky> <&BC_Programming> yes it is difficult to fight the overwhelming temptation to be smartass <<< umm... we couldn't tell that you EVER even try to fight it.
[09:42]<@jacky> hehehee
[09:42]<@BC_Programming> and it's hard not to say "no, I'm looking for a lamp and got lost"
[09:43]<+camerongray> I was looking for a laptop for my friend who was with me, person comes over and starts talking "Oh that's a really good one, see how it says 2GHz, well, it's *dual-core* so that means that it's actually 4GHz"
[09:43]<@BC_Programming> well true, but I mean afk
[09:43]<@BC_Programming> you know, where people can punch you in the face
[09:43]<+camerongray> At that point I walked out the shop
[09:43]<@BC_Programming> after he punched you in the face?
[09:43]<@jacky> hey fellows... now think about this...
[09:43]<@jacky> if those salesmen were NOT so dumb
[09:44]<@BC_Programming> they wouldn't be salesman
[09:44]<@jacky> when you go somewhere where it is NOT that obvious
[09:44]<@jacky> .... are you in more danger?
[09:44]<@jacky> from a smart salesman?
[09:44]<+camerongray> lol, they do punch you in the face with their extended warranties
[09:44]<+camerongray> And norton
[09:44]<@BC_Programming> I'd say that smart salesman is a myth... something that doesn't exist... but I think that is simply what they WANT us to think
[09:45]<@jacky> you've never been waited on by somebody that didn't get on your nerves?
[09:45]<@jacky> they are ALL, always like we've been talking about?
[09:45]<@jacky> :)
[09:46]<+camerongray> I had a fight with a guy in Comet (Who went bust, no idea why(!)) who was saying that he didn't want to sell me a laptop if I didn't protect it properly with their 1 year warranty (Laptop came with an HP warranty anyway) and Norton
[09:46]<@BC_Programming> I think one clever tactic is when they want to give a spiel... they get you to hold something
[09:46]<@BC_Programming> "take a look at these figures" or whatever... give you a clipboard...
[09:46]<@BC_Programming> then put their hands behind their back
[09:46]<+camerongray> Yeah, they do that :P
[09:46]<@BC_Programming> I'm onto you you sneaky salespeople, and I'm looking for a new clipboard... you've been warned
[09:46]<@jacky> and what is holding something supposed to do?
[09:47]<@BC_Programming> well you want to give it back to them before getting away, or something
[09:47]<@BC_Programming> most people, I should say
[09:47]<@jacky> not me
[09:47]<@jacky> hehee
[09:47]<@BC_Programming> smart people know their little trick
[09:47]<@jacky> I'm not smart... but I'd have common sense enough to just put it down
[09:47]<@BC_Programming> personally I think I would just yell "AWESOME! a free clipboard"
[09:47]<@jacky> or... if I was on to them, to leave with it
[09:47]<@jacky> making THEM have to come after me
[09:49]<+camerongray> I also had it last week when I was buying my tablet - "Do you want the Whatever Happens plan?" "No thanks" "Are you sure" "Yes, I don't want it" "Guess how much it costs" "Seriously, I don't want it" "Only £3 a month" "I know but it's fine, I just want the tablet" "But think how you'll feel later when you drop it and you think if only I had listened to that guy" "If you don't sell me the tablet, I'll go next door and buy it there"
[09:49]<+camerongray> That shut him up
[09:50]<@BC_Programming> I'd suggest they either get themselves a "Whatever happens plan" or get their affairs in order
[09:50]<@jacky> next time, when you get to here: ""Guess how much it costs" , you reply with "Why?"
[09:50]<+camerongray> lol, I should have
[09:50]<@jacky> he'll tell you
[09:50]<@BC_Programming> or just retort "guess how much I care"
[09:50]<@jacky> then you say, "Were you not listening the first time I told you?"
[09:51]<+camerongray> The problem is that you start ignoring the rare useful thing they say, I was looking at cases and the guy says "Since you are buying the tablet, you get £10 off of all the cases in this section", I was like "That's fine, I don't need, Oh, thanks"
[09:52]<@BC_Programming> I may be onto something actually... think about this... a good portion of people that go to buy tech stuff are guys
[09:52]<@BC_Programming> and yet, no company has exploited this
[09:52]<@BC_Programming> I mean, really, a technology store that works like Hooters would be a gigantic boom
[09:52]<@BC_Programming> it's an untapped parket
[09:52]<@BC_Programming> market*
[09:52]<+camerongray> hahaha, I was more thiking free beer with every purchase but that would work
[09:53]<@BC_Programming> I'm trying to think of a clever name
[09:53]<@BC_Programming> I guess the slogan could be "circuit boards but not flat as boards"
[09:53]<+camerongray> lol
[09:54]<+camerongray> I kinda feel sorry for their staff though, they are constantly forced to push the extras
[09:54]<@BC_Programming> I wouldn't mind, not with that slogan
[09:55]<+camerongray> And they hire people with little knowledge so they can pump them up with junk like "This celeron laptop is worth £600"
[09:55]<@jacky> camerongray: "they are constantly forced..." bingo! by some paper pusher with a lot of degrees that he thinks qualifies him to actually know something, let alone have and use common sense
[09:55]<+camerongray> lol, yeah
[09:55]<@jacky> I'm with BC
[09:56]<@jacky> Hey! I got it! combine the ideas... you guys are saying that the salespeople are all dumb, right?
[09:56]<@jacky> and BC wants to be like Hooters?
[09:56]<@jacky> so... the slogan is: Buy from Boobs !
[09:56]<@BC_Programming> "sales associates"
[09:57]<@BC_Programming> would certainly be an incentive to associate
[09:57]<+camerongray> hahaha!
[09:57]<@jacky> now we just need a huge billboard ad
[09:57]<@jacky> can we afford Kate Upton?
[09:57]<+camerongray> lol, better than their current marketing
[09:57]<@jacky> (you do know who she is....right?)
[10:03]<@jacky> 
[10:03]<@jacky> be back soon
[10:03]<@jacky> afk

[12:45]<+camerongray> Or anyone that knows about sysprep
[12:52]<+Tux2> I am camerongray
[12:52]<@BC_Programming> no, you're tux2
[12:52]<+Tux2> lol
[12:52]<@BC_Programming> heh couldn't help it :D
[12:53]<+Tux2> Well, I'm going up to eat, so if he posts the question here and flags me I'll see it when I get back
[12:58]<@Mulreay> heh
[12:59]<@BC_Programming> It's an interesting conundrum
[12:59]<@BC_Programming> you want good shows to last for decades
[12:59]<@BC_Programming> but then you realize that would mean a full download of every episode would be gigantic
[13:00]<@BC_Programming> if only in the 90's, people thought about that... "we can't have this show going on for more than ten years, it'll kill the future internet "
[13:01]<@Mulreay> lol
[13:02] * Nat (natman97@mib-642FCA28.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #glitchpc
[13:02]<@BC_Programming> I mean we've got stargate, I mean 10 years of that, hugely awesome... but won't somebody think of the BANDWIDTH?
[13:02]<@Mulreay> I know and HDD space
[13:03]<@BC_Programming> I'm convinced the majority of the internet serves pornography and people downloading the simpsons
[13:03]<+camerongray> Oops, Forgot to check back :P
[13:04]<+camerongray> Tux2: Basically, I'm reinstalling XP on a laptop to sell
[13:04]<@BC_Programming> yeah Tux had an identity crisis, but I think we sorted it out
[13:04]<+camerongray> How can I install XP, activate it, install all the drivers then reseal it for the new owner?
[13:05]<+camerongray> And what would people here think would be a good auction starting price and buy it now price for an HP Compaq nc6400 with a Core 2 Duo T5500 and 2gb RAM with XP Pro?
[13:27]<+camerongray> I win at eBay again :D
[13:28]<+camerongray> Toshiba Tectra M10 (I think) for £12.52
[13:28]<@BC_Programming> oh right you bought that other one on the cheap too if I recall
[13:28]<+camerongray> Yeah
[13:36]<+Tux2> camerongray: you'll need the sysprep tool
[13:36]<@BC_Programming> well I think he sorted that out:
[13:36]<@BC_Programming> <+camerongray> Or anyone that knows about sysprep
[13:36]<+camerongray> lol
[13:37]<+Tux2> lol
[13:37]<+Tux2> camerongray: do you need a copy of the windows setup tool for sysprep?
[13:37]<+camerongray> No idea :P
[13:38]<+camerongray> I just want to install windows on this laptop and leave it at the setup wizard :P
[13:38]<+Tux2> lol, yes, then you will need that disk
[13:39]<+camerongray> what disk?
[13:39]<@jacky> be back later
[13:39]<+Tux2> Give me a second to get the ISO off my server
[13:39] * jacky (the_kink@mib-84BCD235.slsbmd.east.verizon.net) has left #glitchpc
[13:40]<+Tux2> You'll need a special sysprep disk for it
[13:41]<+Tux2> I think I was doing it with this though, not quite sure: http://unattended.sourceforge.net/
[13:44]<+camerongray> ahh, thanks
[13:49]<+Tux2> No problem
[13:49]<+Tux2> I used to use it all the time
[13:50]<+Tux2> If a computer needed a reload I just stuck it on net boot and loaded it up, then walked away. About 2 hours later it was all up to date
[13:51]<+Tux2> and all I needed was a driver or two
[13:53]<@Mulreay> Nerves are starting to kick in for tomorrow :p Doing a lot of last minute notes making, all good fun.
[13:54]<@BC_Programming> if it helps think of it this way
[13:56]<@BC_Programming> hmm actually I can't find a way to say it without being egotistical, just that in a sense there has been a sort of MS rep here all along
[13:57]<@BC_Programming> though I'm not actually a representative, and spit on the idea of being an MS Shill by any stretch of the imagination
[13:58]<@BC_Programming> I'll shut up now
[14:01]<@Mulreay> lol, any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated
[14:02]<lucifer> Don't get nervous
[14:03]<@BC_Programming> well actually I guess in some sense I feel the same way when I send E-mails... which is weird because I've seen forwarded messages where they were sent the most ridiculous engrish, in bright red comic sans... so me worrying whether they will take issue that I used "alot" by accident seems pretty dumb

[14:46] * ChanbotVI sets mode: +v Tux2
[14:46]<+camerongray> what happened?
[14:46]<+Tux2> Oh, I updated my system and restarted the computer
[14:47]<+Tux2> Then cinnamon began acting all weird and wouldn't show any window borders or the system bar
[14:47]<@BC_Programming> yeah that's scary, I guess
[14:47]<+camerongray> Ahh, I was thinking you had had a near-death experience
[14:47]<+Tux2> lol
[14:47]<+Tux2> Seems I needed to update xorg, which the auto updates didn't pull in
[14:48]<+Tux2> so a sudo apt-get upgrade fixed it

[15:15]<@BC_Programming> heh just had a PM forum conversation that I totally wish was public
[15:16]<@BC_Programming> I mentioned somewhere in an analogy the Nazi Propaganda machine and specifically a magazine that was published, and they got on my case about making light of anti-semitism
[15:17]<@BC_Programming> naturally, I couldn't help but quote them on their insistence that the U.S should "send all these damn sand-monkeys back where they came from"
[15:18]<@Mulreay> wow
[15:18]<@BC_Programming> yeah anti-semitism isn't cool of course, but clearly in their eyes, Anti-Islam is OK
[15:18]<@BC_Programming> I mean at least I'm consistent, I hate all religions equally
[15:18]<@Mulreay> heh
[15:20]<@BC_Programming> I also love when they don't even know what they hate
[15:20]<@BC_Programming> "these darn hindu's, flying planes into buildings"
[15:20]<@BC_Programming> I mean COME ON that just isn't even trying anymore
[15:21]<@BC_Programming> On the other hand, if they weren't ignorant about the group of people they hate, they might not hate them. that's what they are afraid of... or even worse... they might see parallels in themselves
[15:22]<@BC_Programming> and then they might get that crazy idea in their head
[15:22]<@BC_Programming> "what if we're all just people?"
[15:23]<@Mulreay> Indeed
[15:24]<@BC_Programming> But of course not... It's always Us and Them... no we
[15:26] * lucifer (lucifer@mib-D4FF3FA5.dsl.bright.net) has joined #glitchpc
[15:26]<@Mulreay> Oh know.. you woke up the fallen angel with your blasphemy
[15:27]<@BC_Programming> dammit he already has my soul.... what is he going to take now? The way I wear my Hat?
[15:28]<@Mulreay> He has a department for that
[15:29]<@BC_Programming> worse still I hear they serve drinks there but they don't have those little umbrellas
[15:29]<@BC_Programming> you know the ones that keep the drink from getting wet or something
[15:29]<@Mulreay> heh
[15:31]<@Mulreay> To be fair I believe (as in I just thought) it would keep the Sun off your drink and stop it walming up.. which is mental and goes against the laws of thermodynamics
[15:31]<@BC_Programming> "What sort of fresh hell is this?" "oh, that's wintergreen, we're trying a new smell"
[15:32]<@BC_Programming> You know the smell of rotting entrails just get's old after a while... we tried fuzzy dice but compulsive gamblers kept stealing them
[15:33]<@Mulreay> heh
[15:35]<@BC_Programming> and don't get me started on those amoral bastards that wore more than one sort of fabric
[15:35]<@BC_Programming> if anybody belongs there it's those Terrible people... the very idea.... it just makes me sick to my stomach
[15:37]<@BC_Programming> Hmm.. seems people that work on Sunday are supposed to be stoned to death
[15:39]<@BC_Programming> Seems fair. Probably came about to give people something to do in the afternoon
[15:39]<@BC_Programming> "Morning: Church." "Afternoon: stone people that went to work instead"
[15:40]<@Mulreay> Heh, I remember in the UK when businesses had to close on Sunday afternoons.. especially pubs
[15:40]<@Mulreay> by law I should add
[15:41]<@BC_Programming> Don't Priests and stuff work on Sunday? I don't think they have a special exemption in the rulebook
[15:41]<@BC_Programming> that makes things a bit tricky
[15:42]<@Mulreay> Good point
[15:47]<+Tux2> lol
[15:49]<+Tux2> I think in the public's eyes they don't classify what a priest does as "work"
[15:49]<+Tux2> Rather a religious duty
[15:49]<@BC_Programming> maybe the collar gives them special powers
[15:50]<+Tux2> lol
[15:50]<@BC_Programming> like an "It's OK, I'm working with god today" thing
[15:52]<@Mulreay> 'Call of Duty' would have been an interesting game if it was just priests doing sermons
[15:52]<+Tux2> lol
[15:53]<@BC_Programming> I'd probably be more likely to play it actually
[15:54]<@BC_Programming> I mean really, between "pew pew" and "pew" the latter seems easier to get into
[15:54]<@BC_Programming> I can actually see it now
[15:55]<@BC_Programming> see first you would have to build your sermon- like in a sermon editor. And you would unlock hymns to add in. Then you would have to give the sermon, and it would consist of mini-games
[15:56]<@BC_Programming> naturally everything would use shaders, I mean you can't NOT use shaders, not when we're talking about stained-glass windows in the morning sunlight
[15:56]<@Mulreay> heh
[15:56]<@BC_Programming> naturally cheat mode would still be called "god mode"
[15:57]<@Mulreay> haha
[16:00]<+Tux2> lol
[16:07]<@Mulreay> OK finished my first ever wage sheet... that was fun. Now onto pricing storage.. oh the fun is almost to much to handle
[16:08]<@BC_Programming> imagine the ecstasy that an accountant goes through everyday

[16:25]<@Mulreay> haha nice analogy
[16:25] * Craig (ce@68A63EDB.12C040BF.6FA62CE2.IP) has joined #glitchpc
[16:26] * ChanbotVI sets mode: +v Craig
[16:26]<@BC_Programming> I'd say eraser in a pencil factory but that makes less sense
[16:26]<@Mulreay> Well I will definately pay someone to take care of this mess of finance I'm creating if I get the backing
[16:32]<@Mulreay> hey Craig
[16:34]<+Craig> Fiance?
[16:34]<+Craig> Oh :P Finance. :P
[16:34]<+Craig> How goes it Mulreay?
[16:34]<@Mulreay> Lol thought you were proposing me then
[16:34]<@BC_Programming> LOL!
[16:34]<+Craig> :P
[16:34]<+Craig> How goes it one and all?
[16:35]<+Tux2> lol, I'm inserting all the steam keys into steam from all the humble bundles I've bought
[16:35]<@Mulreay> Good Craig you?
[16:35]<+Craig> ouch
[16:35]<@BC_Programming> I ran out of shows to download so I downloaded Frasier... I forgot how frikkin hilarious it was
[16:35]<+Craig> Doing great had a nice weekend at my mother-in-laws with V.
[16:36]<+Tux2> lol, I've bought around 12 humble bundles, so yeah, quite a few keys...
[16:37]<@BC_Programming> it's like there is a show I sorta remember on TV and I'm like "I Recall being not distraught when I saw it before"
[16:38]<@BC_Programming> and then of course the first idea is "hey, let's download all 10 years worth of episodes"
[16:38]<@Mulreay> Never really got into Frasier myself but have seen a few episodes
[16:39]<@BC_Programming> well yeah it was basically like "hmm, it's OK, I remember not being bemused enough to change the channel if it came on"
[16:40]<+Tux2> lol
[16:40]<@BC_Programming> But it's a lot better than I remember it being.
[16:41]<+Craig> Hahahhahahahaha
[16:42]<+Craig> Its not what I would call an epic show, however, I was also too lazy to change the channel if it came on. :P
[16:43]<@BC_Programming> for example one episode a character has a bag of flour and is pretending it's his kids to see if being a parent is right for him... he says he's starting to think he's taking it to seriously, because he had a dream where his flour was kidnapped and they started to send him muffins in the mail
[16:44]<@Mulreay> See I don't think I would smile at that joke
[16:44]<@BC_Programming> Who are you and what have you done with the real Mulreay
[16:44]<+Craig> Hahahhahahaha muffins in the mail. :P
[16:45]<@Mulreay> heh
[16:45]<@BC_Programming> yeah maybe it's he difference between North American TV Humour and British Humour though
[16:45]<@BC_Programming> I get both
[16:45]<@BC_Programming> Jacky only get's the former
[16:45]<@BC_Programming> Mulreay only get's the latter
[16:45]<+Craig> :P
[16:45]<@BC_Programming> And Craig... well I suspect he just plays along
[16:45]<+Craig> :P
[16:45]<@BC_Programming> heheh
[16:46]<@Mulreay> heh
[16:46]<@BC_Programming> like no human really get's the humour of chimps
[16:46]<@BC_Programming> I mean, they seem to think people getting hit with feces is a riot, but, most people are after something a bit more cultured
[16:47]<@BC_Programming> like yogurt
[16:48]<+Tux2> lol
[16:49]<@Mulreay> I like a lot of American comedies.. The Big bang theory, Scrubs, Friends... erm.. friends.. and there was Scrubs.. OH and .. the big bang theory... oh and the fresh prince of bel air.. and scrubs.. and that show that I watched.. oh and the Cosby Show... there was Friends as well and I did like Scrubs. I do watch shows like the big bang theory as well
[16:49]<+Tux2> Hopefully steam doesn't think that the massive key redemption on my account today is because of fraud...
[16:50]<@BC_Programming> so... three
[16:51]<+Tux2> lol, actually he mentioned 4
[16:51]<+Craig> :P
[16:51]<@Mulreay> 5
[16:51]<@BC_Programming> I was in a rush, I didn't have time to count
[16:51]<@BC_Programming> and neither did tux, MW AHAHA
[16:51]<@Mulreay> lol
[16:52]<+Tux2> lol
[16:52]<+Tux2> Wow, so after entering all the keys, I've found that I own 31/100 of the games ported to linux so far in steam.
[16:53]<@Mulreay> I do prefer British comedy to be fair as it seems more... genuine
[16:54]<@BC_Programming> Nothing like a show about a mining ship millions of light years from Earth taking place 30 million years in the future to keep us all rooted in the here and now
[16:54]<@BC_Programming> the odd thing is that while that's meant ironically it's also strangely true in some ways
[16:54]<@Mulreay> I mean that the way the characters interact seems more genuine in how people react to situations
[16:58]<@Mulreay> Saying that I can get behind a lot of American comedy films.. may be they just have less time to mess up the story
[16:59]<+Tux2> heh
[16:59]<+Tux2> Most of the shows in the US are quite stupid
[16:59]<@BC_Programming> Maybe british comedies seem more genuine to you because they act british
[17:00]<@Mulreay> Are you saying I'm a... trying to make up a word... Britishist
[17:00]<@BC_Programming> I wasn't going to say it, I didn't want to offend
[17:00]<@Mulreay> heh
[17:00]<+Craig> Ahhh Japan, when will you stop entertaining us. http://www.wimp.com/tirejump/
[17:00]<@Mulreay> OK without the link that could have been read VERY differently
[17:01]<+Craig> ?
[17:01]<@BC_Programming> So what you think the Japanese are here just to entertain us? You think you can tie them up and command them to wok whenever you want?
[17:01]<@BC_Programming> Because I agree they are a hilariously backwards culture
[17:01]<@Mulreay> Nah you want N.Korea for completely messed in the head
[17:02]<+Craig> Baqhahahhaha
[17:02]<@BC_Programming> well true but we need not look further than our local governments
[17:02]<@BC_Programming> I mean if a man cannot poop on the sidewalk, can we really call the country free?
[17:02]<@BC_Programming> I of course am speaking hypothetically
[17:03]<@Mulreay> heh
[17:03]<+Craig> Hmmmmm I wouln't put it past some people... :S
[17:08]<+Tux2> lol, that last tire decimated the ramp
[17:09]<@Mulreay> I think thats more of a general concensus that people don't other people poop'ing in the street
[17:09]<@Mulreay> want*
[17:10]<@BC_Programming> Well I suppose that's a lofty goal
[17:11]<@BC_Programming> Sort of like asking that everybody use coasters or to lobby against the growing menace of Toast Sweat
[17:12]<@Mulreay> No... I think poop'ing in the street speaks for itself.. I mean animals are bad enough without humans getting off the bus and squatting in the street
[17:14]<@BC_Programming> Excuse me but what I do in the privacy of my own well-lit street corner in public areas is my own business thank you very much!
[17:14]<@Mulreay> lol
[17:14]<@BC_Programming> And also the business of those downwind, I suppose
[17:15]<+camerongray> Hey Craig
[17:16]<+Craig> Hey camerongray
[17:17]<@Mulreay> hey camerongray.. I forget if I may have said hello already but want to cover my bases
[17:17]<+camerongray> lol, hey
[17:18]<@BC_Programming> http://i.imgur.com/6Hz6iM0.png
[17:22]<+camerongray> lol!
[17:25]<@Mulreay> OK wage sheet is done.. I've decided to pay myself £3,500,000 a month as I want to get a nice flat with a decent computer.. that's how wage sheets work yeah? I enter an amount and the company must be pay me?
[17:26]<@BC_Programming> yeah I think so
[17:26]<@Mulreay> cool, I knew it
[17:26]<@BC_Programming> Of course, you also get a nice christmas bonus... that amount is hardly enough to keep more than 2 or 3 5 bedroom houses... and you need at least one va
[17:26]<@BC_Programming> cation home*
[17:27]<@BC_Programming> though I guess you could use a Voice Actor as well
[17:27]<@BC_Programming> not sure what for but you'll think of something
[17:27]<@Mulreay> heh
[17:30]<+Tux2> lol
[17:31]<@BC_Programming> also you better not forget your finders fee
[17:33]<+camerongray> lol!
[17:34]<+camerongray> I'm too nice to the company I work for, I log hours on a timesheet - They keep telling me to round up but I can't so I always put 2.5 hours per day instead of 3 :P
[17:34]<+camerongray> Although I think they round it up for me, I just can't bare to do it myself :P
[17:35]<@BC_Programming> it soon becomes automatic
[17:35]<+Tux2> lol
[17:35]<+Tux2> Sounds like the company I work for
[17:36]<@Mulreay> OK camerongray can i round down your wages for PITB? :p
[17:36]<+camerongray> lol
[17:36]<+camerongray> I hate asking for money since they are so nice :P
[17:36]<+camerongray> I mean, if I hated them, fine :P
[17:37]<@Mulreay> '8 hours in tech support' Mmm 2 looks like 8.. PITB pays camerongray for 2 hours help
[17:37]<@BC_Programming> And they probably want to give you more money because you are so good :P
[17:37]<+camerongray> hahaha!
[17:38]<+camerongray> I love everyone there :P
[17:38]<+camerongray> I think of them all as friends, not like, Oh - I work with him
[17:38]<@BC_Programming> just so long as they don't gossip amongst themse... oh, you meant figuratively
[17:39]<+camerongray> hahaha
[17:39]<@BC_Programming> I can never take a news article seriously if it says somebody was frog-marched
[17:39]<@BC_Programming> I can't help but think they were forced to jump like a frog
[17:40]<+camerongray> What about this one! http://metro.co.uk/2013/02/15/drunk-man-set-fire-to-peanuts-and-tried-to-have-sex-with-ambulance-3480219/
[17:40]<+camerongray> Someone posted it in the Computer Society's IRC channel
[17:40]<@BC_Programming> ahh that takes me back
[17:40]<+camerongray> hehehe
[17:41]<+camerongray> It's interesting to open that on your laptop in a lecture, chances are you will hear sniggering from behind you
[17:41]<@BC_Programming> I remember when I did that, I think everybody has a phase where they feel a pyrotechnical association with legumes and a strange attraction to emergency vehicles
[17:41]<+camerongray> Oh great, the guy was Scottish :P
[17:41]<+camerongray> hehehe
[17:42]<@BC_Programming> naturally it's forbidden love; it's common knowledge that the father of ambulances- fire trucks- will pour cold water on you
[17:42]<+camerongray> HA!
[17:45]<+camerongray> Odd, I actually like these Three TV adverts - I normally HATE any TV advert
