I note that bearing off is actually reversible, in a sense, as beared off checkers can end up back in jail 05:16:35 Sgeo: Yes, I suppose it might, although checkmate always ends the game too, and there is the randomness involved too. 05:17:00 But it is possible to miss a turn in the chess game, sometimes!! 05:20:07 (Because of this, there is no draw by repetition.) 06:00:16 having not paid attention in several minutes: what about the 50 move draw? 06:03:05 Bike: There is no 50 move draw. The only draw is not having a legal FIDE move (if not in check). 06:03:20 ah. 06:18:12 You can make other suggestion if you want to. 06:38:32 Do you know Chinese chess? 06:38:52 I know of it, barely. 06:39:17 Er, wait, Chinese chess more than Japanese chess, yes. If Chinese chesss is the one on a star of david looking thing. 06:40:36 Neither game is played on a Star of David (although that is an idea, to make up a variant involving such board) 06:41:04 Probably you mean Chinese Checkers, is played on the Star of David. 06:41:12 Bike: You're probably thinking "Chinese checkers". 06:41:13 Chinese Chess is a different game. 06:41:36 oh, dammit. 06:41:37 Chinese chess, or xiangqi, is actually a chess derivative of sorts. 06:41:46 (it evolved from the same game chess evolved from) 06:41:55 And Japanese chess is based on that. 06:42:07 (aka shogi) 06:42:10 ok, that makes sense. 06:42:15 I can play all of those games. 06:43:54 I made up a variant of Xiangqi with drops similar to Shogi. http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSdroppablexiang 06:44:23 The piece with different names are considered different kind, instead of calling them different name for the same kind of piece as is normally done. 06:48:58 I mostly heard of those games in context of alternative games in Hikaru no Go 06:48:59 :/ 06:50:07 I've played Shogi. I'm not very good at it. 06:51:08 I have pieces and board of shogi, the board is made of paper, pieces are normal though. All of them fit in one small box. 06:58:06 I prefer the flat pieces used with Shogi and Xiangqi rather than the 3D figures used with FIDE. 07:20:26 -!- zzo38 has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 07:35:59 -!- Sgeo has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 08:26:51 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds). 08:32:39 -!- nooga has joined. 09:29:11 -!- Zerker has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 09:41:07 -!- hagb4rd has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 09:47:18 -!- atriq has joined. 09:55:01 -!- Vorpal has joined. 10:13:42 -!- tentative8lame has joined. 10:15:50 -!- monqy has quit (Quit: hello). 10:18:38 -!- tentative8lame has left. 10:19:28 -!- atriq has quit (Quit: Leaving). 11:03:48 -!- ogrom has joined. 11:04:01 -!- ogrom has quit (Client Quit). 11:14:50 -!- nooga has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 11:26:12 -!- atriq has joined. 11:27:08 Today's Hexham challenge: gatecrash birthday parties 11:27:13 Three to collect! 11:28:16 What is Hexham. 11:29:13 Jafet: The dual of Finland. 11:29:16 Whose birthdays? 11:29:19 Is it elliott? 11:29:26 I bet it's elliott, oerjan, and monqy. 11:37:50 Isn't elliott's birthday like in August or something 11:38:13 It's also in August. 11:38:19 Who said you can only have one a year? 11:38:25 True, true 11:38:40 Anyway, I must prepare for partyings! 11:38:43 Goodbye 11:38:45 -!- atriq has quit (Quit: Leaving). 11:39:00 Born again elliott. 12:52:18 -!- MoALTz has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 12:52:28 -!- nooodl has joined. 13:13:13 -!- nooga has joined. 13:16:21 I'm playing with USB OTG, so far my phone handled everything I threw at it 13:16:35 hm lets try the printer XD 13:16:47 okay... "Printer connected"... now what 13:18:51 hrrm "can only print on samsung printer"? fail... 13:20:25 oh hey, I could try this USB midi device... 13:21:26 okay, it fails that 13:23:04 USB Lego IR tower: fail 13:25:42 What happens if you connect it to another phone of the same model? Which one pretends to be the host and which one the device? 13:26:00 fizzie, don't have more than one phone handy 13:26:03 Aw. 13:26:11 fizzie, but I think it depends on who has the USB OTG cable 13:26:18 since the cable itself is being detected by the phone 13:26:20 Mhm, that'd make sense. 13:26:25 even with nothing at the other end 13:26:28 Does it have more than one USB port? I suppose not. 13:26:34 nope 13:26:43 I was hoping you could connect it to itself. 13:26:45 going to try my Saitek X52 Pro Joystick now 13:27:02 well the joystick powers on... 13:27:09 but the phone said nothing 13:27:33 oh well 13:27:46 fizzie, it works with mouse, keyboard, USB sticks and that sort of stuff 13:27:54 and apparently some printers 13:28:03 hm web cam! 13:28:05 lets try that 13:28:21 old old old webcam 13:28:29 My keyboard reports "MaxPower 300mA" in lsusb -v, but it worked in the RPi's built-in USB port; was a bit worried. (Those are officially rated only for single unit load devices.) 13:28:46 hm nope 13:29:02 does the webcam even work *tries in a computer* 13:29:26 well windows says "no driver found". Linux seems to handle it as usual with older hardware 13:29:58 for the record, lsusb identifies it as a "Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express" 13:30:28 Webcam support went a lot nicer ever since that gspca thing was rolled into the mainline kernel. 13:30:43 I would try my graph calculator, but I have a TI BlackLink for that 13:30:46 so serial port 13:31:27 I have a useless webcam around here somewhere too. 13:31:50 Does 640x480 and is usable only with very well-lit targets. 13:31:53 not sure if I have any crazy stuff left to experiment with 13:31:54 oh wait 13:32:02 I have an old dumb phone with USB somewhere 13:32:06 it is a samsung as well 13:32:09 I vaguely recall that the Windows drivers worked a lot better, so maybe there's a gain setting that the Linux driver doesn't know about. 13:32:13 so that should totally work, right? XD 13:32:59 Do you have any USB wifi dongles? 13:33:12 nope 13:33:59 samsung on samsung action: both phones turned on their screens when connected, but showed no further interest in each other. One wasn't even charging the other 13:34:08 Was wondering if it'd support that. Sounds a bit pointless, but not too far out. 13:34:16 This webcam is by Saitek. 13:34:28 Saitek made webcams? 13:34:38 Apparently so. 13:34:50 I thought they only made HID devices 13:35:00 hm, HID devices is a bit silly, like PIN number 13:35:21 It looks like this: http://www.cbiz.nu/Media/Cache/Images/3/8/WEB_Image%20Saitek%20Flexicam%20webkamera%20%20webcam%20631362926.Jpeg 13:35:34 (It folds down to be a short cylindrical thing.) 13:35:59 fizzie, maybe Nokia on samsung will work better? have an old dumbphone nokia that I now use as an incredibly loud alarm clock (it rocks for that) 13:36:04 think it has usb 13:36:09 no, acronyms are words, they should be used in the clearest way without getting hung up on the etymology of the word 13:36:11 might be usb mini instead of micro though 13:36:19 You'd think the old phone would work as a mass storage device just fine. 13:36:21 Bus 001 Device 028: ID 0c45:60fc Microdia PC Camera with Mic (SN9C105) 13:36:35 I don't think it actually has a microphone, though. But maybe it does. 13:36:41 there are situations where "ATM machine" flows better than "ATM" in a sentence, and it's not like when people hear "ATM" they think to themselves "automated teller machine" 13:36:42 fizzie, my old phones don't do mass storage 13:36:55 bInterfaceClass 1 Audio 13:36:55 bInterfaceSubClass 2 Streaming 13:36:58 Well, look at that. 13:37:17 ah the nokia does USB micro 13:37:22 so yeah I think saying "Linux has good support for HID devices" sounds better than "Linux has good support for HIDs" and that's fine 13:38:06 fizzie, hey, the nokia asks if I want to connect as "PC Suite" or "Utskrift & media" to the other thing, with "Datalagring" greyed out 13:38:17 I think the last one is greyed out since it doesn't have a microsd card 13:38:39 neither of the available options do anything though 13:38:51 [4322122.491248] input: sonixj as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/input/input29 13:38:56 Hah, the camera even has a button. 13:39:27 fizzie, funny thing, that Nokia doesn't charge through USB 13:39:39 it uses a separate connector for that 13:40:27 hey, lego USB tower doesn't work on 64-bit windows 7 13:40:33 works fine on linux still 13:40:37 though not on the phone 13:41:00 My work phone (Nokia C2-01) came with a charger for the "small hole" (2mm or whatever), even though it does have a µUSB port, and can charge through that. 13:41:09 heh 13:41:36 The USB hole is in the side of the phone, under one of those tiny plastic flaps, though; the regular charger connector is in the top and always open. 13:41:42 hm what about my camera... if I can find the USB cable for that (it uses a non-standard connector) 13:42:20 I get a "type 1 (EV_KEY), code 212 (KEY_CAMERA), value 1" out of /dev/input/event10 when I press the button in the webcam. 13:42:44 heh 13:43:03 where the hell is the battery for the camera... 13:43:44 or the charger... 13:45:51 Oh yes, the camera quality was just as horrible as I thought. 13:47:36 hm what about a hub 13:47:43 I should have a powered hub somewhere 13:47:50 USB 1.1 one 13:48:39 hey I found a non-optical mouse 13:48:53 What you should plug in your phone is one of those cell-modem USB sticks; then you could make phone calls and access the Internet over it, from your phone. 13:49:07 heh 13:49:11 don 13:49:14 don't* have that either 13:50:40 found USB hub 13:50:46 not sure where the adapter to it is 13:51:02 doesn't say which voltage on the port 13:51:03 so eh 13:51:40 not going to risk that 13:52:38 fizzie, speaking of USB power, I have a USB stick here that requests two units of power 13:52:40 weird 13:52:46 it is just a 512 MB stick 13:52:57 fairly old 13:55:52 Well, as mentioned, this keyboard requests three. 13:56:02 Admittedly it has a backlight kind of a thing. 13:56:31 so I watched one video about Halo 4, since I was curious as to what the franchise is about (never played any Halo games)... Guess what the recommended list on the youtube front page is filled with now... 13:56:56 fizzie, does it act as a hub as well? 13:57:13 if so that is probably why 13:57:20 No, it's just a keyboard. 13:57:24 oh 13:57:27 backlight then 13:57:50 My #1 recommendation seems to be some *really* bizarre-looking Sonic comic thing. 13:58:09 Probably I clicked some links from the Sonic let's-play videos, they had some rather bizarre links too. 13:58:53 There's a badly drawn Sonic in a hospital bed with both hands bandaged, and an annoyed-looking Knuckles looking at him. 13:59:05 (In the thumbnail; I don't think I want to watch the video.) 13:59:34 fizzie, youtube is currently ONLY recommending Halo 13:59:35 100% 13:59:41 Heh. 13:59:50 There probably are quite a few Halo videos around. 14:00:07 I think they need a bit of inertia added to that algorithm 14:00:59 Gah. I went to the "recommended for you" page, and there the #1 hit is "Funny pics of Sonic and friends 2", where the thumbnail is a comic of Amy and Shadow kissing. 14:01:09 who? 14:01:15 I never played any sonic game 14:01:30 I know who knuckles is, but Amy and Shadow? no clue 14:01:36 Amy is canonically Sonic's girlfriend, or at least a clingy thing that'd want to be his girlfriend. 14:01:39 She's very pink. 14:02:02 And Shadow is kind of like Sonic except all edgy and dark and antihero. He shoots guns, and works for G.U.N. or something. 14:02:06 " or at least a clingy thing that'd want to be his girlfriend." <-- oh? some drama there? Unanswered love? 14:02:27 Yes, I think Sonic is mostly depicted as being annoyed by her. 14:02:46 She does seem quite annoying, so maybe that's understandable. 14:03:46 There was some backstory for Shadow, but I've forgotten what it was. Some kind of an attempt to create the "ultimate life form". 14:04:22 He's Sonic's adversary in some games, but also an ally in others. 14:05:03 I see 14:05:04 All very interesting, I'm sure. :p 14:05:12 Sonic have any sort of story to it? 14:05:18 other than, beat the boss 14:05:37 The newer games tend to have bit more of that; and then there's of course the comics. 14:07:08 Sonic 3 & Knuckles have that emerald-stealing plot, so there's a bit of a story there. 14:07:42 There was always Eggman trapping little animals 14:07:47 And turning them into robots 14:07:54 Yes, there's that too. 14:08:49 But the new games do have cutscenes and all that fluff, and a story. 14:09:25 what am I reading? 14:09:51 You're reading #esoteric, the global hub of whatever it was. 14:09:54 `welcome nortti 14:10:09 ... 14:10:14 Sonic Adventure was released in 1998/1999, does that still count as new? 14:10:14 :D 14:10:16 nortti: Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment!

I really don't know what the point is. 14:11:37 But 14 years between Adventure and now 14:11:38 ah 14:11:57 FreeFull: Yes, yes, but it's all "new games" since Sonic & Knuckles anyway. 14:12:41 ("Since" in the non-inclusive sense.) 14:23:43 http://hs11.snstatic.fi/webkuva/oletus/560/1305612374418?ts=176 -- yesterday, this was still a water tower. 14:24:00 (Then the two-million-litre tank fell off, this morning.) 14:24:13 fizzie, where?

(Not really.) 20:09:29 hey, I think our washing machine is three phase 20:10:09 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 20:11:07 and the stove. Since there are three fuses protecting it and parts of it still works when the fuses are blown. 20:11:23 don't have a cloth drier though 20:11:55 Some of the washing machines in some more communal laundry places have used industrial plugs -- the IEC 60309 "CEE" ones -- though I haven't checked whether it's single-phase or three-phase. 20:12:20 fizzie, is your stove three phase though? 20:12:28 Sure. 20:12:50 I think there is also a three phase outlet in the greenhouse 20:12:55 since I 20:13:02 But the washing machine isn't; it's just regular Schuko. 20:13:06 Then again, it's pretty dinky. 20:13:10 I'm not the one interested in gardening in this household I have no idea what it is used for 20:13:15 some sort of heating or something maybe? 20:14:15 -!- nooga has joined. 20:14:48 "A small number of marinas provide 230 V single-phase power through a red three-phase connector (breaking the relevant standards in the process).

Heh, nasty. 20:15:12 hah 20:15:29 fizzie, or you could make one yourself pretty easily 20:16:06 Wouldn't it be easier to, I dunno, put locks on the power boxes 20:16:18 Lumpio-, probably 20:17:35 We've got a blue CEE 2P+E single-phase <-> Schuko adapter in the boat, since marinas indeed quite often have the former. 20:18:01 -!- canaima172422 has joined. 20:18:33 fizzie, hm, does the former have any advantage? 20:18:43 like water resistance or something? 20:18:49 I suppose it's maybe more rugged by default. 20:18:55 ah 20:19:13 Though you could just put a flap on top of the regular outlet. 20:19:35 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 20:19:38 -!- canaima172422 has left. 20:19:39 Maybe it's rated for a bit more current too, the standard size is I think 16A. 20:19:54 I just seem to recall that's Schuko's rating too. 20:20:16 Apparently so. 20:24:41 'Ruby on Rails Jobs - www.mirRoRplacement.com - All we do is work with startups seeking Ruby on Rails developers.' 20:24:56 'Rails didn’t just help us build better web apps, it introduced us to the most welcoming and nourishing developer community we’ve experienced.' 20:24:59 mmmmmm yes nourishing 20:25:34 I was looking at this µUSB charger that came with a Bluetooth headset, to see if I could use it also to provide power to the RPi; it's a mains-powered standalone charger, but according to the markings it manages to provide the 5V DC current at a stupendous 180 mA. 20:25:43 No wonder charging the phone with that didn't quite work out. 20:26:21 (The phone's own bundled charger does 1.2A or so.) 20:29:20 Vorpal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perilex do you have this kind of thing?

Is that with docx or doc though? 22:30:21 never really worked with docx 22:30:59 Vorpal, even if doc worked perfectly, if docx doesn't, are you really going to convince everyone to save as doc? 22:31:28 Sgeo, we use .doc, .xls and so on at work for compatibility reasons, even though we have modern office 22:31:36 so eh, doesn't seem unreasonable 22:33:07 I don't have office at home, works just fine for me. 22:33:24 don't use libreoffice a lot either though. 22:34:20 why is everyone using libreoffice instead of openoffice? 22:34:44 when I last installed/upgraded it, openoffice was oracle, not sure if that is still the case 22:34:54 no. it is now apache 22:34:57 ah 22:35:03 nortti, what is the difference nowdays then 22:35:53 Vorpal: openoffice is under apache license 22:36:08 fair enough 22:36:14 nortti, and the other one is under gpl? 22:36:30 yes 22:36:37 I couldn't care less then. 22:36:42 any feature differences? 22:37:18 I think no 22:37:27 one of them is run by oracle, no? 22:37:42 not anymore 22:37:46 Phantom_Hoover, except it isn't any longer it seems 22:37:49 Phantom_Hoover: Oracle divested OpenOffice to Apache. 22:37:50 Hey, you know these? http://i.imgur.com/VpfZV.jpg 22:37:59 I just made a subreddit for them. http://www.reddit.com/r/westwoods/ 22:38:13 LibreOffice is by far the better one. 22:38:22 why? 22:39:21 A major part of their development has been targetted towards "making it not suck".
