[23:29:56] <AndyManly> ProfessorBacon, I hear they’re going to release an ubuntu exclusively for mobiles [23:29:57] <stabb> what if they’re ecstasy tablets [23:30:05] <reokie> AH HEEEELL NAH [23:30:10] <Nisani201> tablets are not useless [23:30:14] <stabb> E-TABLET [23:30:15] <ProfessorBacon> i suspect we may see it preloaded sooner or later, AndyManly [23:30:24] <AndyManly> MrStone, there is plenty of use for tablets [23:30:40] <AndyManly> if there wasn’t any use for them, they wouldn’t be selling off the shelves nearly two years after the iPad has been released [23:30:41] <ProfessorBacon> i call them grablets. i grab mine [23:30:52] <FireBeard> are we forgetting that both Ubuntu and Android are based on Linux? [23:30:58] <AndyManly> FireBeard, nope. [23:31:00] <ProfessorBacon> FireBeard: you’re a moron. [23:31:01] <Nisani201> FireBeard: that’s not the point [23:31:02] <Paradox> tablets are useful if you’re a useful person [23:31:09] <FireBeard> ProfessorBacon: ok [23:31:12] <nerdshark> wow [23:31:13] <AndyManly> In fact, i hope ubuntu does well with their mobile OS [23:31:19] <Nisani201> ProfessorBacon: that was mean [23:31:19] <AndyManly> I’d love to see a non-android linux for mobiles [23:31:20] <reokie> I just find it hilarious that protesters of big corporations are using Windows to spread the word [23:31:27] <FireBeard> it’s good that you point it out, isn’t it [23:31:29] <nerdshark> is it still tablet hate time? [23:31:40] <Nisani201> reokie: they aren’t protesting big corperations, they’re protesting corperate greed [23:31:44] <Paradox> AndyManly, it will be broken, only work on a few devices, and take marathon sessions to install [23:31:46] <FireBeard> it makes you look smarter, ProfessorBacon [23:31:58] <ProfessorBacon> AndyManly: isn’t meebo linux? [23:32:01] <Paradox> Nisani201, furthermore, apple and msft arent evil like goldman sachs isnt [23:32:02] <nerdshark> ProfessorBacon: yes it is [23:32:02] <Paradox> is [23:32:04] <FireBeard> oh wait… [23:32:10] <l3mon> yea like 400% mark up on a clone of BSD with silver praypaint made in china [23:32:14] <AndyManly> ProfessorBacon, it is, but nokia pretty much killed it 
[23:32:20] <ProfessorBacon> AndyManly: get yourself an n900 [23:32:27] <AndyManly> I want to! [23:32:31] <reokie> It was really promising though :p [23:32:34] <AndyManly> but the fuckers cost like seven hundred dollars in the states [23:32:56] <reokie> Anyone try Haiku? [23:32:57] <AndyManly> and in the us, we instead got the nokia lumia 800 with WP7 [23:33:00] <AndyManly> reokie, yes [23:33:13] <itamz> meego never really had a chance anyway – there isn’t room on the market for so many different smartphone platforms [23:33:15] <AndyManly> i tried it briefly [23:33:24] <ProfessorBacon> reokie: didn’t know that was still a thing [23:33:26] <reokie> I was planning to develop some Python apps for it, but I found it a bit hard :p [23:33:38] <itamz> you think developers would create apps for ios, android, meego, bada, webos and windows phone? fuck that shit [23:33:50] <AndyManly> reokie, yeah. I wish haiku had more practical use [23:33:56] <AndyManly> becuase I really enjoy its interface [23:34:06] <FireBeard> so you at least know how to screen [23:34:09] <stabb> Right click, read later [23:34:12] <ProfessorBacon> Paradox: i think they can be evil. look at ibm and the holocaust [23:34:19] <reokie> ZevenOS is a linux distro based on Be-OS, the OS that haiku is based on [23:34:35] <Nisani201> what is haiku? [23:34:36] <MrStone> Why are you guys so obsessed with linux? [23:34:37] <ProfessorBacon> nsa backdoors oh noes [23:34:44] <FireBeard> I tried BeOS [23:34:47] <nerdshark> Nisani201: binary-compatible reimplementation of BeOS R5 [23:34:47] <Nisani201> MrStone: BECAUSE LINUX ARE COOL [23:34:52] <AndyManly> reokie, dude, awesome!

[23:40:57] <FireBeard> gheh [23:41:02] <AndyManly> IN ALPHA SINCE 1996 [23:41:13] <FireBeard> reactos, I was involved with that shit [23:41:28] <GodOfAtheism> http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/mohct/hey_redditwhats_your_favourite_big_word/c32jpqf [23:41:30] <redditalien> Title: GodOfAtheism comments on Hey Reddit..what’s your favourite “big” word? (at www.reddit.com) [23:41:38] <GodOfAtheism> Master of wit. [23:41:55] <AndyManly> I like how microsoft hasn’t even -bothered- to sue reactos [23:42:08] <AndyManly> or at least sue it to the point where it ceases to exist [23:42:11] <FireBeard> why would they? [23:42:15] <reokie> Doesnt it have the same premise as Wine? [23:42:17] <wiretapped> AndyManly: i used to work in a movie theater with one of the reactos devs in like 2001 [23:42:43] <FireBeard> it’s all original code [23:42:46] <Nisani201> is reactos the windows thing? [23:42:51] <FireBeard> so, sue what? [23:42:57] <AndyManly> well its an entire OS that works like windows from the ground up (I use the word “works” VERY LOOSELY) and accepts windows apps [23:43:10] <AndyManly> if they’re willing to sue android off the face of the earth [23:43:12] <wiretapped> FireBeard: patents!!!1one [23:43:20] <AndyManly> why not reactos? [23:43:36] <katsrc> it’s like win2k [23:43:40] <reokie> It’s Wine: the OS [23:43:51] <katsrc> not really 98 or XP [23:43:53] <itamz> wine is at least useful [23:44:04] <AndyManly> Wine laughs at ReactOS [23:44:28] <FireBeard> I like reactos, it’s very small and it works quite well [23:44:28] <Nisani201> does reactos use wine at all? [23:44:39] <itamz> isn’t it dead anyway? [23:44:40] <jairavax> Anyone wanna join my Minecraft server? [23:44:41] <FireBeard> no [23:44:47] <Nisani201> jairavax: NO [23:44:51] <AndyManly> FireBeard, really? hmm [23:44:55] <katsrc> FireBeard: what do you use it for? [23:44:57] <itamz> people still play minecraft? [23:45:17] <AndyManly> every time I have used it its been like “Okay, gonna download firefox! *downloads and installs it* *reactOS crashes*” [23:45:23] <itamz> how long can one play that until they get bored with it? [23:45:25] <FireBeard> if one needs Wine or so, one needs to run Windows to begin with [23:45:45] <MrStone> Minecraft is way too different for me to enjoy it [23:45:46] <MrStone> :c [23:46:06] <itamz> I played it for like a month on a server with about 10 people [23:46:09] <itamz> then I got bored [23:46:10] <reokie> If I could I would re-order an OEM win disk and just run it in a VM and wipe the Win partition [23:46:17] <MrStone> I used to run my own server [23:46:25] <MrStone> With just close friends [23:46:26] <MrStone> Was fun [23:46:27] <AndyManly> I just torrented windows 2000 and ran it in virtualbox [23:46:32] <MrStone> …Why [23:46:34] <AndyManly> because I’ve already paid for it once and I’m not paying for it again [23:46:43] <MrStone> Torrent Windows ME [23:46:47] <MrStone> That shit was hilarious [23:46:48] <AndyManly> it doesn’t have that piracy tracking shit that XP has [23:46:51] <AndyManly> LOOOL [23:47:12] <itamz> I just use windows from MSDNAA for virtualbox purposes [23:47:13] <FireBeard> with the proper hardware, ME wasn’t all that bad [23:47:14] <MrStone> It’s like it was just a huge joke by Microsoft. [23:47:17] <itamz> one of the perks of being in college [23:47:22] <MrStone> ME was a hunk of shit [23:47:32] <AndyManly> ME was just the OS that made the world go “…why?” [23:47:40] <AndyManly> 2000 was for enterprise, ME was supposed to be for home [23:47:48] <FireBeard> it just didn’t take well to gaming or any third party software in general [23:47:56] <AndyManly> since I suppose it made sense to microsoft to develop for two entirely different kernels with two different sets of requirements [23:48:09] <itamz> it did [23:48:18] <MrStone> It does. [23:48:24] <itamz> back when home pcs were slow [23:48:46] <AndyManly> I don’t really buy that.

[23:49:09] <AndyManly> and furthermore, windows XP was installed on those very machines a year later [23:49:26] <itamz> well, the 90s were a strange time [23:49:50] <AndyManly> this was 1999 and 2000 [23:50:09] <itamz> like who the fuck thought THIS was a good idea? [23:50:11] <redditalien> Title: Matthew Perry Jennifer Aniston Windows 95 guide Part 1 – YouTube (at www.youtube.com) [23:50:26] <AndyManly> LOL WHAT [23:50:27] <stabb> Marketing [23:50:29] <FireBeard> no, the 90′s were just more streamlined towards what was available at the time [23:50:33] <stabb> and hot women [23:50:40] <stabb> nerds [23:50:41] <stabb> faaaahkkk yeah [23:50:44] <itamz> starts at 1:40 [23:51:01] <FireBeard> there were no hot women online over 2400 baud [23:51:03] <FireBeard> ever [23:51:09] <itamz> remember clippy?
