09:47.18 | Armand | Yeah, but "fat" to most chinese could be like, 12st.. :P |
09:47.30 | andy | I always though of such people as a bit creepy |
09:47.59 | Leeds | andy: cash |
09:48.09 | andy | ahhh |
09:48.12 | Armand | good point. |
09:48.41 | Leeds | 60-something quid, cash in hand, for a couple of hours weekend work |

11:58.12 | Armand | poor you.. |
11:59.02 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Done some of the openSUSE review plus boot times take a look http://www.cannon-linux.co.uk |
11:59.41 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: do I have to start humming again? |
12:00.29 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: More like "Close your mouth you'll catch flies" |
12:11.59 | goibhniu | "while on IRC the other day being harassed as to why I still had not done a review of openSUSE 10.3" :D |
12:13.27 | goibhniu | I don't get why you find torrents slow |
12:13.40 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: They're shit |
12:13.44 | goibhniu | are you gonna benchmark arch on the same box? |
12:14.03 | goibhniu | oh no they're not |
12:14.23 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Thats the thing, I'd love to but it means wiping and installing and I don't want to do tat |
12:14.36 | dick_turpin | that |
12:14.42 | goibhniu | rob a hd from work :D |
12:15.12 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: I've also downloaded gutsy gibbon and would like to bench mark that too |
12:16.32 | goibhniu | would be nice |
12:17.04 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: You have a point I can get HDD's 10 a penny, might have a go |
12:17.55 | goibhniu | would be hard to compare arch tho |
12:18.23 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: In what sense? |
12:18.54 | goibhniu | what packages do you install to compare |
12:19.08 | goibhniu | boot up times aren't really that interesting IMO though |
12:20.13 | wethrin | indeed they're not |
12:20.21 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Fair enough, IMO how quickly things start/open is very important but that's whats cool everyone has different priorities |
12:20.28 | wethrin | I don't really care if a machine takes 30 minutes to boot, if it's never going to be turned off |
12:21.13 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Thing is most Home users will switch their machines off |
12:21.31 | goibhniu | con kolivas said he couldn't really figure out a good way to benchmark desktop responsiveness |
12:21.39 | goibhniu | afaik |
12:22.37 | wethrin | dick_turpin: Standby mode! |
12:22.40 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: As I said, the subject is a bit emotive everyone has different needs so there is no benchmark really |
12:23.49 | dick_turpin | wethrin: No you're wrong, forget Linux ect for the minute and think in terms of Joe Public and home PC's |
12:24.10 | dick_turpin | wethrin: My misses for one makes me turn mine off |
12:24.30 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Even the router |
12:25.01 | goibhniu | hibernate would be better though |
12:25.21 | wethrin | Home's DSL router doesn't get turned off. It's also silent. |
12:25.56 | goibhniu | but sure boot time is something people do measure |
12:26.10 | goibhniu | and e.g. vista sucks at it and osx is good |
12:26.22 | goibhniu | and ubuntu have upstart which is supposed to be better |
12:26.24 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Most wives (especially mine)have a built in radar they can detect when you've left things on :-( |
12:26.26 | goibhniu | so it would be interesting |
12:27.13 | wethrin | mmmm |
12:27.32 | wethrin | I pretty much never shut down OS X, unless I'm rebooting due to upgrades |
12:27.39 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Have you heard LAS and the gutsy review? |
12:27.42 | wethrin | But I have a laptop, so shutting the lid works nicely |
12:28.10 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: nope |
12:28.33 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Don't get me wrong I actually agree with you they should never be turned off but we must live in the real world and think in terms of others not just us. |
12:28.57 | wethrin | other people are wrong! |
12:29.02 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Supposedly gutsy fries your HDD after a while |
12:29.15 | dick_turpin | wethrin: lol |
12:30.18 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: nice ... I heard that somewhere else too |
12:30.36 | goibhniu | I thought it wasn't gutsy though, but an older ubuntu |
12:30.47 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: But more importantly they raised a really important issue with regards Vista and what the hell is Linux doing |
12:30.59 | goibhniu | I lost a hd when running edgy |
12:31.40 | dick_turpin | There's a huge void at the moment which Linux should be attacking |
12:32.04 | dick_turpin | Vista is not taking off people are refusing to install it |
12:32.16 | dick_turpin | They feel XP is a bit old now |
12:32.26 | dick_turpin | So what should they install? |
12:32.31 | goibhniu | but linux is attacking it ... thanks to dell etc |
12:32.47 | dick_turpin | Yep Linux should be snapping these people up |
12:33.57 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Thats not really working, its for the likes of RH, SUSE and even canocial to activley go after businesses |
12:34.13 | goibhniu | but aren't they? |
12:34.17 | dick_turpin | (Cant be arsed to spell check this is too important) |
12:34.53 | dick_turpin | I'd love to know most of us here are in IT right? |
12:35.50 | dick_turpin | So has anyone had a call from say RH "Hello what do you run, so you don't want Vista, how about RHEL?" |
12:35.50 | wethrin | I'm not |
12:36.13 | goibhniu | you mean ... we need telemarketing!? |
12:36.32 | dick_turpin | yes, I know thats a dirty word but.. |
12:36.42 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: maybe we need to do it as volunteers |
12:37.09 | goibhniu | "hello ...did you know linux supports lots of really cool filesystems?" |
12:37.35 | wethrin | "Does it support NTFS?" |
12:37.53 | goibhniu | "well ... I'm sorry ... am .. I have to stick to the script" |
12:38.12 | dick_turpin | Maybe, I've been seeing the "Promote Linux" for 4 years now and yet we've barely scratched the surface |
12:38.38 | wethrin | The problem is that a lot of people promoting Linux are the very people who *shouldn't* be |
12:39.04 | goibhniu | IMO linux is there if people want it ... let the suckers buy macs |
12:39.23 | Armand | lol |
12:40.15 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: You're not one of the 'Closed Shop Linux Users' are you? |
12:40.43 | goibhniu | ? |
12:41.04 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Only a select few should be using it |
12:41.10 | goibhniu | oh no |
12:41.26 | goibhniu | I just think that products that require marketing to sell aren't worth selling |
12:41.46 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: K, Are you scared that it might, just might, go down the non-free road? |
12:42.20 | goibhniu | I know there are 5,000,000 different brands of water ... but I hope it's only extreme fools who differentiate |
12:42.45 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: I'm not really worried about linux at all |
12:42.58 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Mac user :-P |
12:43.17 | goibhniu | it's only going to get better ... until haiku takes off :D |
12:43.40 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Ooh I tried that about 2 years ago |
12:43.46 | Armand | ? |
12:45.08 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: I just don't feel the need to turn linux into another shit branded product ... because it assumes humans are idiots |
12:45.40 | Armand | Well, thats a good assumption |
12:45.44 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: I like the tirade, what does it mean? |
12:45.55 | Armand | as most humans are complete fucking 'tards, |
12:46.48 | goibhniu | so let them run macs ... I don't care |
12:46.57 | goibhniu | I want more developers |
12:47.06 | goibhniu | <PROTECTED> |
12:47.22 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: K, to waht end? |
12:47.25 | dick_turpin | what |
12:49.42 | goibhniu | brb |
12:50.03 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: I love you ;-) |

12:55.29 | dick_turpin | Armand: You missed it, they was warned to stop or else |
12:55.44 | Armand | boring.. >_< |
13:15.02 | Ch0Hag | Are the standard C libraries not supposed to have STDIN/OUT/ERR macros for fd's 0/1/2? |
13:46.37 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: you were saying? |
13:47.45 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: oh yeah ... I would prefer everyone to be using free software, so the dilemma is .. do we need to use marketing |
13:47.48 | boudiccas | morning |
13:47.59 | goibhniu | good morning boudiccas |
13:48.17 | boudiccas | can we just settle for morning please, its less hassle |
13:48.36 | boudiccas | evening class tonight, which should be interesting |
13:48.48 | goibhniu | why can't we just grunt? |
13:49.04 | goibhniu | people will start complaining that it's not technically morning anymore |
13:49.05 | boudiccas | yes, thats another option open to us |

16:20.59 | Ch0Hag | Perhaps in the same way a whale is a fish. |

16:21.34 | Ch0Hag | Then surely it's been refried and eaten by now? |

16:23.21 | Discordian | Mmmm lobster thermidor |
16:23.30 | Discordian | Not had that in ages |
17:28.09 | Ch0Hag | Can you write code along the lines of: { if (x) { ... } if (y) { ... } } else { ... } where the else clause is executed if both x and y fail? |
17:29.16 | antiphase | els[e]if? |
17:30.34 | Ch0Hag | both x and y must be tested, regardless of the failure of the other. |
17:30.51 | Ch0Hag | if (x) ... |
17:30.53 | Ch0Hag | if (y) ... |

17:32.26 | antiphase | Fix it your fucking self then ;) |
17:32.49 | Ch0Hag | Well I considered a separate variable |
17:32.50 | jcmlUK | Ch0Hag: you just wrote it: |
17:32.52 | jcmlUK | 17:30 < Ch0Hag> if (x) ... |
17:32.53 | jcmlUK | 17:30 < Ch0Hag> if (y) ... |
17:32.53 | jcmlUK | 17:30 < Ch0Hag> if (!x && !y) ... |
17:33.01 | Ch0Hag | Yeah but that repeats the tests. |
17:33.07 | Ch0Hag | What if the tests have side-effects? |
17:33.15 | jcmlUK | store the return in a variable? |
17:33.23 | jcmlUK | I hear all the cool kids have them nowadays ... |
17:33.25 | antiphase | Do they have side effects? |
17:33.44 | antiphase | If not, just do it the easy way, if they do, do it a different way. Are you looking for a generic way of solving this problem? |
17:33.53 | Ch0Hag | dumbvar = 0; if ((dumbvar = (x_test))) ...; if ((dumbvar = (y_test))) ...; if (!dumbvar) ...; |
17:34.04 | Ch0Hag | I'm just idly curious. |
17:34.05 | antiphase | Which language is it to be written in? |
17:34.29 | antiphase | That is most relevant, as the constructs available are not fixed |
17:34.45 | Ch0Hag | C's always a popular choice. |
17:34.52 | antiphase | Is this your homework? |
17:34.59 | Ch0Hag | No. |
17:35.07 | Ch0Hag | I don't have homework. That's for students. |
17:35.13 | Ch0Hag | *spit* |

17:37.05 | antiphase | case 0: foo; break; |
17:37.11 | antiphase | case 1: bar; break; |
17:37.13 | antiphase | etc. |
17:37.47 | antiphase | There are countless stupid ways of doing it, the most readable of which is the boring long way that doesn't involve any logical arithmetic |
17:38.06 | Ch0Hag | Ooh that looks like an interesting one. |
17:38.24 | Ch0Hag | I couldn't think of a good method with switch. |
17:38.58 | antiphase | I had a spurious "& 1" in there, and it depends on 1 for truth and 0 for false |
17:39.25 | antiphase | My C is poor and underused |
17:39.27 | Ch0Hag | Well yeah but I could see where you were going. |
17:41.33 | jcmlUK | btw, don't get married. It sucks. |
