User1: another person nearly killed in the cycle lane here Â¬_Â¬
User2: well if people will insist on riding on a pair of wheels with nothing around them other than a coat and a hat
User1: ;)
User1: not so amusingly is that guy worked with the one that got killed on the same corner 2 years ago
User3: i think it would be worse if it was the other way around
User1: ?
User3: it's like "wow, i'm so lucky not to end up like my friend" vs "i knew this was going to happen but i couldn't do anything about it"
User4: morning boys and girls.
User2: anyone recommend for/against any compatible toner companies ?
User3: #android ... how do these people even figure out how to use irc?
User2: they probably got an app to tell them
User5: Afternoon
User2: hey popey
User3: ubuntu can't install onto an 8GB partition any more.
User5: yeah, it's grown a bit
User3: what i don't understand is how you managed to get 800% compression
User3: that's an absurd ratio
User3: the xubuntu iso is only 200MB smaller, after install it's like 3GB
User3: also, wily installer says i need 7.8GB, but an 8GB virtualbox partition will crash during install with an apport that takes you to the bug report that gets generated when the installer runs out of space, was reported several years ago, and still doesn't have a bug pattern or a sensible error message in the installer
User6: Hey, I'm new to linux. How do I do this? "Update your packagelist using your package manager"
User6: I'm using ubuntu
User2: User3 Some stuff is ludicrously compressable, but also watch out for the 1st set of updates that you get after install
User3: unity is still painfully slow in virtualbox too
User7: everything is. virtualbox's GL implementation is a toy
User2: does it have one or is it using llvm in the guest
User1: do books not get VAT?
User1: paperbacks
User2: literary works are apparently 0 rated
User2: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-70110-zero-rating-of-books-and-other-forms-of-printed-matter/vat-notice-70110-zero-rating-of-books-and-other-forms-of-printed-matter
User2: hmm not sure why that part of the URL is repeated, but apparently it is
User1: ty sir :>
User1: 'tis an alien thing to me
User1: funny one in a shop just before, a guy asked if there was a casino he could waste his time in for the evening
User1: i said nope sorry it's Sunday, everything'll close up before midnight for sure and there'll be nothing :)
User2: User1 Someone in the US sent me some promotional material the other week for work; beer mats, bookmarks etc - they guessed at a figure of $50; I got a fedex bill for 37GBp
User1: ugh how come they charged you o0
User2: User1 Well, I guess it's vatable and it's the recipient I guess who gets it (although apparently it should have gone on the internal fedex account)
User8: evenin
User3: User2 i installed guest utils and it's still slow
User3: also multimonitor doesn't work for some reason, it used to
User5: I hear VMWare fusion is way better for GL
User9: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/cello-7-quad-core-tablet-white-from-misco-plus-delivery-10-27-2290084 that is ridiculously cheap, amazing the world we live in now days
User5: the 10" one is a tenner!?
User5: must be a misprice
User9: User5 god alone knows, tempting to just wall mount one in every room for home automation
User9: would only cost like 40 quid
User10: zmoylan-pi: what you mean?
User5: they will not fulfill those orders, surely
User8: terminator genisys is good
User8: I really do love the terminator theme music
User8: nice early 90s industrial synth
User8: better than t3
User8: t4 was a bit skewed though 'cos it doesn't have any timehopping
User8: true
User8: I think it stands ok on it's own but as part of a series it falls short (t4, I mean)
User8: they kinda completely ignored t4 in genisys
User8: really I think t1, 2 and 5 work as a trilogy - the rest are just silly
