02:03, Cryoburner whispers: :P
02:03, Jam whispers: Jam is really boring. All it does is just sit there doing nothing all day long...
02:04, Cryoburner> Do a trick Jam!
02:05, Jam flops.
02:06, Cryoburner> Quick, make something in Lino!

02:33, Speeder> Newts are resilent, but seemly not against nylon wheels crushing their heads against aluminium.
02:34, Speeder> Ooops, it is not newt in english, it is gecko... this one to be more specific: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_house_gecko
02:41, Jam whispers: I wanna leave the shower too! And with as few deaths as possible!
02:44, Speeder> Yep, what you did was stupid :P
02:45, Speeder> You could try to get one helmet... I don't think there are only one... Or did you already tried that?
03:21, Jam> Helmet? Did you mean oxygen mask? I thought they were on the outside...
03:23, Jam whispers: or were you talking to L4?
03:47, Lightning4 whispers: :P
15:46, 4616599> Augh, Chrome has resumed the habit of crashing every minute!
16:03, Kristos> I used Opera until certain websites refused to let me log in on Opera because "it has a severe security vulnerability" they say.
16:03, Kristos> Chrome is fast, but I had problems with it to.
16:04, Kristos> Internet Explorer has always been slow.
16:04, Kristos> Firefox has been getting slower with more and more bugs...
16:04, Kristos> What can a person do?
16:08, Cryoburner> If a site didn't let you log in with Opera because it claimed it had a 'severe security vulnerability' that most likely means the site owners were too lazy to test their site with more than a couple browsers and just put up that notice for any browser they didn't test with. :P
16:10, Cryoburner whispers: Unless it was Opera bringing up the notice, in which case the site probably had a severe security vulnerability. :P
16:11, Cryoburner> You can trick a site into thinking you're using a different browser though.
16:12, Kristos meant: GASP* That's lying!
16:14, Cryoburner> Just right click a page, select 'edit site preferences' and choose to mask as IE or Firefox from the dropdown.
16:14, Cryoburner whispers: You can also do that globally, but then Opera won't appear in usage statistics.
16:16, Kristos> Ooo, Opera is sneaky. Maybe that's what they're referring to as the security vulnerability?
16:17, Cryoburner> I don't think so. :P
16:18, Cryoburner whispers: What site was it? I never see a security warning like that.
16:30, Kristos> The section of the website that handles most the online business (class scheduling, paying stuff, accepting scholarships...) for my university.
16:31, Cryoburner whispers: Yeah, they probably just didn't test with more than a couple browsers, and expect you to use one of them. :P
16:32, Cryoburner whispers: Lazy interns! :P
16:32, Kristos> I don't trust the university IT peaple anymore. They decided to get away from Norton Antivirus (a noble cause)... and they picked... Sophos!
16:32, Kristos whispers: grin
16:32, Kristos whispers: (Not sure how a grin is whispered.)
16:32, Kristos whispers: grin
16:33, Cryoburner whispers: Sophos probably costs them less, or something.
16:33, Kristos> The thing won
16:33, Kristos> oops
16:33, Kristos> The thing won't let me change the updater scheduling, and it fails to update most the time because the lame way it does it...
16:33, Kristos> It slows the computer way way down, more than Norton.
16:34, Kristos> It says it gets rid of viruses (that probably aren't viruses) and it says it quarantines stuff.
16:34, Kristos> But the quarantine is empty and no file seems to be touched.
16:34, Kristos> In the error logs it says that it is corrupting certain archives. I hope not!
16:34, Cryoburner> Do they... require you to use it?
16:35, Kristos> No. They use it, and you can use it too, for 'free'. If you don't, you're required to provide your own substitute.
16:35, Kristos> Which is not bad.
16:36, Kristos> But I think they're worse off for using it on all the university computers.
16:36, Cryoburner> Couldn't you just use a free scanner like Avast, Avira, or AVG?
16:36, Kristos> yup
16:37, Kristos> I used to use AVG but they kept aggravating me to upgrade, increasingly more often.
16:37, Kristos> So I got MSE.
16:37, Kristos> They say MSE is very good at catching stuff. It should be, sinnce it's made by the same people who make the operating system!
16:37, Kristos> And it worked great! Until I did a windows update, and it killed it.
16:38, Cryoburner> You can find comparison guides of top virus scanners here... http://www.av-comparatives.org
16:39, Kristos> My laptop came with a trial of Norton, but it never worked!
16:39, Cryoburner whispers: follow the 'main comparatives' link for the PDF download page.
16:39, Cryoburner> That site also tests performance, as well.
16:40, Kristos> And I read about the Norton "deal" my laptop came with... the only way to continue subscription without getting a whole new one was to give my credit card number to some unreputable company in some other country that is well known for stealing peoples money.
16:41, Kristos> Say, have you ever heard of the "AV Security Suite"?
16:42, Cryoburner whispers: According to AV Comparatives, Sophos IS worse than average at detections among the top AV vendors. :P
16:43, Cryoburner> I... don't think so.
16:45, Kristos> AVSS is a virus that pretends to be an antivirus. My roommate had it on his computer at work.
16:46, Kristos> An adware program installed itself on a computer back at home and called itself "Super Adware Remover" or blocker or destroyer or soemthing liek that.
16:47, Cryoburner> Oh yeah, I've heard of a couple others like that.
16:47, Cryoburner whispers: But does it remove other adware? :P
16:53, Kristos> Maybe I should download it and some other adware and find out!
16:58, Speeder> My dad now built some reinforced pipes. :D For now they are withstanding the dog...
16:59, Cryoburner whispers: It keeps changing colors man... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezWHPJPfo54
17:13, Cryoburner> Om nom nom nom... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/02/3d-express-coach-pictures_n_66745 2.html
17:52, Buuks> Mary Lou, where is the secret room?
17:52, Mary Lou> A secret passage is a hidden route that is used to travel stealthily.
19:04, Kristos> Mary Lou, what is Mary Lou?
19:04, Mary Lou> Mary Lou is an American actress.
19:08, Kristos> Mary Lou, who are you?
19:08, Mary Lou> I'm the machine.
19:08, Kristos> What is the machine?
19:08, Mary Lou> A machine is a device that uses energy to perform some activity.
19:09, Kristos> Okay, thanks.
