18:46.22 | Snake12534 | I am quite busy |
18:47.02 | Snake12534 | I hope my two mates online will official a team. |
18:47.26 | blast007 | 'Official' is not a verb. |
18:48.04 | Snake12534 | In GU, everyone uses it as a verb. |
18:48.13 | Snake12534 | Like, lets offi |
18:48.23 | Snake12534 | Or did you offi them? |
18:49.26 | allejo | GU league does not influence Webster Dictionary in the slightest. 'Official' is not a verb nor is 'offi' a word |
18:49.55 | Snake12534 | Yeah, gu players do this. |
18:50.20 | Snake12534 | What do you expect? :) They offi everyday |
18:50.33 | Snake12534 | No one wants to spell it out fully. |
18:52.15 | allejo | Laziness does not lead to a new word being created. Poor grammar is cancer |
18:52.32 | Snake12534 | Agreed. But sometims |
18:52.38 | Snake12534 | Sometimes* |
18:52.39 | allejo | http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/24486500.jpg |
18:52.48 | Snake12534 | In life, you have to go with the flow. |
18:53.12 | Snake12534 | Spiderman gives you cancer? |
18:53.27 | blast007 | Offi with their heads!! |
18:53.29 | allejo | I beg to differ. If blast007 suddenly decided to start Windows 8 and ported BZFlag to Windows and that was the "flow," I would not go with it. |
18:53.45 | allejo | start using* |
18:53.49 | Snake12534 | I repeat sometimes. |
18:54.01 | Snake12534 | S O M E times :) |
18:54.15 | blast007 | If I decided to start using Windows 8, I'd probably be too busy slamming my fist through the screen to bother with BZFlag. |
18:54.32 | Snake12534 | Do not use Windows 8 |
18:54.36 | blast007 | "Touch screen? I thought it said *punch* screen!" |
18:54.48 | Snake12534 | :) |
18:55.00 | allejo | hehe |
18:55.01 | Snake12534 | I am using a touch screen currently to type, chat. |
18:55.39 | blast007 | Snake12534: why? |
18:55.42 | blast007 | tablet? |
18:55.50 | Snake12534 | Yeah, iPad. |
18:55.58 | allejo | blast007, the new trend of posts for porting BZFlag should be the Surface instead of iPhone or Android |
18:56.08 | blast007 | My condolences... |
18:56.14 | allejo | lol |
18:56.21 | Snake12534 | Bzflag on tablets are not a good idea. |
18:56.25 | Snake12534 | UNLESS |
18:56.33 | allejo | is* |
18:56.37 | blast007 | there is no "unless" |
18:56.41 | Snake12534 | You have a REAL keyboard and a mouse |
18:56.42 | blast007 | it's not a good idea |
18:56.57 | Snake12534 | Well, it would save people lots of time and perhaps cash. |
18:57.04 | blast007 | no it wouldn't |
18:57.10 | blast007 | are you stupid? :P |
18:57.27 | Snake12534 | More convient. And no, I am not a-stewpid. |
18:57.34 | blast007 | decent tablets are not that much less than a full featured PC. |
18:57.38 | allejo | "a-stewpid"? |
18:57.39 | blast007 | How much did your iPad cost? |
18:58.04 | Snake12534 | On eBay, around ... oh yeah, good point. |
18:58.22 | allejo | blast007, in retort, at least the iPad doesn't advertise twice the available space ;) |
18:58.35 | Snake12534 | *a stewpid* means asian accent, stupid. |

18:59.04 | allejo | That is a racist comment and should not be tolerated. |
18:59.14 | blast007 | the iPad 2 is $400. The iPad with the fancy screen is $500. I built a complete PC with a 3.3GHz dual-core hyperthreaded processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 64GB SSD for roughly $500 (not counting the screen) |
18:59.44 | blast007 | my PC would run laps around an iPad any day of the week |
18:59.57 | Snake12534 | Ok ok |
19:00.08 | blast007 | heck, my PC even supports up to three screens at once :) |
19:00.21 | Snake12534 | :) I wish I could do that. |
19:00.24 | allejo | blast007 but is your computer mobile? |
19:00.37 | blast007 | allejo: mobile enough to throw at your head |
19:00.40 | blast007 | :P |
19:00.49 | Snake12534 | Tsk tsk, Windows are really close to bankrupt. |
19:00.51 | allejo | hehe |
19:01.13 | blast007 | wut |
19:01.25 | blast007 | if by "close" you mean "not" |
19:01.30 | blast007 | then sure |

19:03.22 | Snake12534 | Winfoe |
19:03.29 | Snake12534 | Oops |

19:04.20 | allejo | Highly doubtful. Microsoft is still stable financially even if they are losing market shares of the PC industry |
19:05.00 | blast007 | they only had $16.97 billion in net income so far this year. yeah, definitely bankrupt. |
19:05.16 | Snake12534 | Well. They *will* be bankrupt. |
19:05.22 | blast007 | no, they won't |
19:05.40 | allejo | Being an Apple fan myself, I can see Apple going bankrupt before Microsoft |
19:05.41 | Snake12534 | Their sales gone down close to 75% since 2000. |

19:08.05 | Snake12534 | Lol blast, it's just a title to desribe their significance to the blog. |
19:08.10 | blast007 | your organization is bankrupt |

19:08.22 | Snake12534 | We just started, my good sir. |
19:08.29 | Snake12534 | We hit c |
19:08.38 | Snake12534 | Close to 100 views a day |
19:08.44 | blast007 | you will be bankrupt |
19:08.49 | Snake12534 | :) |
19:08.56 | Snake12534 | Proof? |
19:09.05 | blast007 | refers to Apple |
19:09.08 | blast007 | see? |
19:09.09 | blast007 | proof |
19:09.23 | blast007 | undeniable proof |
19:09.34 | Snake12534 | Shall I wiki you? |
19:09.36 | blast007 | Undeniable, I say! |
19:09.37 | Snake12534 | :) |

19:13.50 | blast007 | yes, someone can. |
19:13.51 | allejo | No. |
19:13.58 | blast007 | But will they? |
19:14.03 | Snake12534 | No |
19:14.20 | Snake12534 | May* |
19:14.30 | blast007 | oh, and here's the thing with apple vs microsoft |
19:14.38 | Snake12534 | Yes? |
19:14.51 | blast007 | microsoft has a pretty consistent revenue, whereas apple is increasing rapidly |
19:14.58 | blast007 | but apple is going to hit a peak soon and drop off |
19:15.06 | allejo | sadly enough :-/ |
19:15.21 | blast007 | so microsoft has more stability |
19:15.25 | Snake12534 | I doubt so. |
19:15.44 | blast007 | Snake12534: that's because you're an apple zealot |
19:16.15 | Snake12534 | Blast, I use microsoft. |
19:16.36 | blast007 | microsoft what? |
19:16.45 | Snake12534 | <PROTECTED> |
19:16.52 | blast007 | congrats |
19:17.28 | blast007 | that doesn't necessarily exclude you from being an apple zealot, though :) |
19:17.38 | Snake12534 | True. |
19:17.59 | Snake12534 | I support Apple because of their iPads, minis, and iPhones. |
19:18.07 | Snake12534 | Otherwise Windows is better. |
19:18.16 | blast007 | I insult apple because of every product they make. |
19:18.26 | Snake12534 | Why? |
19:18.27 | allejo | And I retort with Windows 8 |
19:18.46 | Snake12534 | I don't use 8. |
19:18.51 | blast007 | allejo: and I pray for 9 :P |
19:19.10 | blast007 | or else I'll be switching this school district to Linux |
19:19.15 | allejo | Windows Blue* |
19:19.23 | blast007 | blehhhhh |
19:19.26 | Snake12534 | Ew Linux. |
19:19.33 | allejo | Linux ftw |
19:19.34 | blast007 | Snake12534: better than Windows 8 :P |
19:19.51 | Snake12534 | True:) |
19:21.58 | blast007 | Snake12534: my problem with apple is that they constantly screw over their customers, and they put excessive restrictions on their products. |
19:22.06 | blast007 | "Do it our way or else!" |
19:22.10 | blast007 | "You're holding it wrong!" |
19:22.14 | Snake12534 | ... |
19:22.29 | Snake12534 | I never thought of ta. |
19:22.32 | Snake12534 | Tat. |
19:22.48 | blast007 | for instance, the people who bought PowerPC systems. They cannot run anything newer than Mac OSX 10.5. |
19:23.00 | Snake12534 | Why? |
19:23.20 | blast007 | because apple stopped supported PowerPC systems. They wanted everyone buy new Intel systems. |
19:23.34 | Snake12534 | Oh, sucky. |
19:23.43 | blast007 | and 10.5 does not get security updates anymore |
19:23.51 | Snake12534 | That sucks. |
19:23.56 | blast007 | so anyone on PPC is vulnerable to exploits on the internet |
19:24.07 | Snake12534 | ohok. |
19:24.15 | Snake12534 | How about Macafee? |
19:24.24 | Snake12534 | Cant they download that? |
19:24.35 | allejo | McAfee is a murder |
19:24.39 | blast007 | other things no longer support PPC Macs either |
19:24.39 | allejo | murderer* |
19:24.49 | Snake12534 | Whyall |
19:24.54 | blast007 | like, for instance, you can't installed the newest Flash player on PPC OSX |
19:24.58 | Snake12534 | Why allejo* |
19:25.05 | blast007 | Snake12534: read the news :P |
19:25.11 | Snake12534 | <PROTECTED> |
19:25.24 | Snake12534 | I do, every so often. |

19:25.29 | blast007 | Then there is their developer program and app store stuff and 10.8. |
19:25.54 | blast007 | In order to have software on 10.8 that doesn't pop up a scary warning, you have to digitally sign your software with a certificate from Apple. |
19:26.20 | blast007 | But to do that you need to be using a relatively recent version of OSX, and you have to have a developer account, which costs $100/year |
19:26.31 | blast007 | lol, I think he went to that link in the same tab |

19:27.28 | blast007 | in summary of my rant.. the only reason apple is doing so well at the moment is that they control all aspects of their software and hardware |
19:27.29 | Snake12534 | Macafee is a murderer! |
19:27.37 | allejo | McAfee* |
19:27.47 | blast007 | and I think people will get sick of that soon and start to bail on the platform |
19:28.00 | Snake12534 | Also because apple has so much innovations, causing people to buy their products. |
19:28.07 | blast007 | that, and I think we'll soon see a game changer in the console market |
19:28.16 | Snake12534 | Perhaps |
19:28.18 | blast007 | the Ouya box is coming in March, and the Steam box is coming soon |
19:28.35 | blast007 | the Ouya being an android system for your TV with wireless controllers |
19:28.36 | Snake12534 | I am not buying neither of those. |
19:28.38 | allejo | blast007 you can't forgot about the Wii U |
19:28.46 | allejo | forget* |
19:28.49 | blast007 | and the Steam box being a locked down PC that runs linux |
19:29.00 | Snake12534 | Nah |
19:29.13 | blast007 | allejo: yes, I can. |
19:29.17 | blast007 | *poof* forgotten |
19:29.27 | blast007 | the last console I bought was the PS2 |
19:29.29 | allejo | linux is the way to go for any device that needs an OS |
19:29.33 | allejo | lol |
19:29.44 | blast007 | And I still use that thing. It's awesome. |
19:30.08 | blast007 | I've got it softmodded as well, so I can do stuff like play video files off a USB hard drive. |
19:30.09 | allejo | I have a 360 and I still use it. That's one of the few good things Microsoft makes |
19:30.20 | Snake12534 | Lol same here blast. |
19:30.27 | Snake12534 | I use PS2 |
19:30.37 | blast007 | do you have the Slim PS2? |
19:30.43 | Snake12534 | No |
19:30.48 | blast007 | good |
19:30.52 | Snake12534 | The fat one? |
19:31.02 | blast007 | yeah, I have two of the larger ones |
19:31.08 | blast007 | though one doesn't turn on anymore |
19:31.08 | Snake12534 | <PROTECTED> |
19:31.19 | Snake12534 | Oh, sell on eBay then. |
19:31.22 | blast007 | I have the Linux kit for my PS2, but the hard drive it came with died. |
19:31.40 | Snake12534 | I do not ever use Linux. |
19:32.09 | blast007 | so I have a keyboard/mouse for the PS2, and a different model fo the network adapter specifically for linux, and the VGA adapter |
19:32.14 | allejo | Linux is the way to go Snake12534 |
19:32.17 | blast007 | this was a kit sold by sony for the PS2 |
19:32.33 | blast007 | sold out years ago, but I found it on ebay |
19:32.43 | Snake12534 | Interesting. |
19:32.51 | Snake12534 | Perhaps I will use Linux allejo. |
19:33.03 | Snake12534 | I still have the PS1 |
19:33.08 | blast007 | put linux on your iPad. Oh wait! |
19:33.18 | Snake12534 | Planning to sell that one on eBay. |
19:33.34 | Snake12534 | Wait? Why? |
19:35.28 | blast007 | if I get a hard drive back into the PS2, I can run games off the hard drive instead of needing the disc |
19:36.06 | Snake12534 | I just buy the games in the disc. |
19:36.13 | blast007 | I do as well |
19:36.22 | blast007 | but I can prolong the life of the optical drive this way |
19:36.54 | blast007 | same for playing DVDs. I rip the DVDs on my computer and convert them to a file that I can play off a hard drive. |
19:36.59 | Snake12534 | The life of my games neverbdie. |
19:37.15 | Snake12534 | Never die* |
19:38.47 | Snake12534 | Brb, hungry. |
19:39.38 | allejo | blast007 too bad I need to flash my Xbox to play games off my hard drive, it'd be nicer that way |
19:40.01 | Snake12534 | Anyone wanna be part of Reptiles? |
19:40.06 | blast007 | allejo: I have a hacked memory card |
19:40.28 | allejo | hacked memory card? |
19:40.50 | blast007 | used a cheat disc (well, specifically an emulator on that disc) to run a program that then exploited something to write new code to the memory card |
19:41.08 | blast007 | thus why it's a "softmod" |
19:41.12 | Snake12534 | I am going to update the blog now. |
19:41.13 | blast007 | no soldering involved |
19:41.25 | allejo | hmmm interesting |
19:41.28 | blast007 | so when the console boots up, it loads code off the memory card |
19:41.43 | allejo | ah so you need the memory card at boot? |
19:42.15 | blast007 | yup |
19:43.50 | allejo | i may take another look at this stuff for my xbox. i kinda got iffy of the thought of soldering and the risk of a brick |
19:44.04 | blast007 | that the 360? |
19:44.14 | blast007 | for the old one there was simple clip-on hardware hacks |
19:44.39 | blast007 | (though probably less reliable than soldered ones) |
19:45.02 | blast007 | I dunno if there are any software mods for the Xbox |
19:45.20 | blast007 | also, there's some things I still can't do without a hardware mod (such as playing backup discs) |
19:45.43 | blast007 | though backup discs are possible with this one swap magic disc |
19:45.59 | allejo | yea 360 |
19:46.36 | allejo | i think the only reason i wanted to flash my xbox in the first place was to torrent games and get copies from friends |
19:47.07 | blast007 | I'd not do it on one tied to your XBL account |
19:47.27 | blast007 | keep modding consoles unassociated with your non-modded stuff |
19:49.07 | allejo | yea i'm aware of the ban waves |
19:49.48 | allejo | to be frank, i rarely play any new games on it so i won't go through the effort |
19:50.00 | allejo | i mainly use it watch dvds |
19:50.20 | allejo | or to wireless stream movies from my hard drive to my xbox to watch on my tv |
19:52.15 | blast007 | you should still buy the games you intend to play on it |
19:52.59 | blast007 | and don't same game discs have unique IDs in them? |
19:53.11 | blast007 | if so, and you copy from a friend, you might get their copy banned |
19:54.15 | allejo | all the games I have are legit, i support the devs as best as i can |
19:54.27 | allejo | and no clue about the unique IDs. wouldn't doubt it though |
19:54.41 | blast007 | "i think the only reason i wanted to flash my xbox in the first place was to torrent games and get copies from friends" |
19:54.58 | blast007 | that's what I was referring to |
19:55.26 | blast007 | for me, the ability to play from a backup disk or off the hard drive is to prolong the life of the original discs and/or the console itself |
19:55.46 | blast007 | though both options I don't think I can play online (but I only have one game that supports online play anyway) |
19:56.06 | allejo | ah yea. that was a while ago. i can afford games now :D |
19:56.18 | blast007 | well, actually, I probably have more than one now.. some other games came with that linux kit ebay bundle |
