08:15.35ChoHagVery interesting thread, but one question.
08:15.51ChoHagc:\windows\system32 is a directory, del doesn't delete directories.
08:15.53ChoHagRight?
08:16.01ChoHagOr is Vista 'special'?
08:16.38ChoHagIf it doesn't, it was a very good troll.
08:16.56ChoHagIf it does ... well it was still a very good troll but much more epic.

09:19.32halibetter safe then sorry.. i dont see the problem, we should trust their judgement and let them get on with it
09:20.05halithe police needs more power to fight terrorism
09:32.40ChoHagLike body scanners at the airport.
10:05.28wethrinChoHag: I'd suggest trying the del command, see what happens
10:05.43wethrinIf you're sensible, you'd do it to a VM; then rollback
10:06.27wethrinMmm......thought crime
10:07.32ChoHagAnd if I'm not sensible then I've got a real windows box to test it on?
10:29.18ChoHagWhy do people care so much when the football team they support loses?
10:45.44wethrinIt gives some meaning to their drab and dreary lives
10:47.45ChoHagHmm. And then a loss means the meaning is destroyed.
10:47.58ChoHagSo suddenly they realise that they are worthless.
10:48.04wethrinsomething like that
10:48.07wethrinbut I'm no philosopher
11:11.33ChoHagShould I fix my headphones or buy new ones?
11:11.38ChoHagFSVO fix.
11:13.13wethrinbuy new ones
11:13.14antiphaseGet new ones that look less like you stole them from a Japanese schoolgirl
11:13.17wethrinUnless yours are particularly good
11:13.30antiphaserecommends Beyerdynamic
11:13.32ChoHagThey're good apart from having a broken arm.
11:14.01ChoHagAnd maybe Japanese schoolgirls just like me and give me gifts.
11:14.23wethrinIf you can still find them, don't get Sennheise MX-500s. They used to be really, really good. Then they went downhill.
11:15.03ChoHagSurely they'd be as good now as they ever were?
11:15.15wethrinNope
11:15.15ChoHagOr is an MX-500 of yesteryear not the same as an MX-500 of today?
11:15.19wethrinindeed
11:15.27wethrinI got a first set in 2004. And they were excellent
11:15.41ChoHagSo surely they should no longer be called MX-500.
11:16.16wethrinthe next set sounded fine, but the volume control slider was a bit sticky
11:16.38wethrinand the set after sounded approximately like free airline headphones
11:16.47ChoHagNice.
11:17.23antiphaseSennheiser exist only for undiscerning people to think they're buying good quality equipment because they saw someone else using them
11:17.37ChoHagThose airline headphones which they go to great lengths to stop you stealing because they're so good.
11:17.37antiphaseOMG I'm a DJ
11:18.08wethrinChoHag: Those're the ones!
11:18.15wethrinantiphase: Not a fan of Sennheiser, then?
11:19.01antiphaseCan't say I've ever been inclined to copy everyone else and buy some of the tatty-looking plastic rubbish
11:19.08ChoHagSo where am I going to find a decent pair around here?
11:22.10wethrinThe Apple headphones aren't bad for little in-ear things
11:22.27ChoHagI don't think I'm gay enough to use apple equipment.
12:07.04haliis using Beyerdynamic headphones
12:07.32halii have a pair of grado sr-80 as well but can't use them in the office as they are open back :/

13:08.30AzundrisSeconded.
13:08.39dick_turpinhugs boudiccas in a little too friendly manner
13:09.07Azundrisboudiccas: Either both are potentially NSFW images, or I need sleep. I suspect it's the latter, really.
13:10.49kjsdick_turpin: what sort of job you after?
13:11.00boudiccasi could do with a nice warming cuddle :)
13:12.16dick_turpinkjs: Not too sure tbh I don't really want to do sales anymore although if that was secondary rather than primary I wouldn't mind, some sort of Managerial position would be nice but I'm not fussed
13:15.37kjssomeone just sent us another Piss Poor CV
13:15.48AzundrisWhat's it like?
13:16.17AzundrisBad wrt to their experience/qualifications, or badly presented?
13:16.41kjsnot the worst iv seen, but size 16 font 3 pages long loads of spacing.
13:17.05bilarhls -lart
13:17.09bilarhffs
13:17.12kjshaha
13:17.56AzundrisOK, yeah, I can see how that's not a lot. :)
13:18.39dick_turpinkjs: What jobs you got then?
13:19.02AzundrisI was asking because I felt kinda sympathetic, having just received an answer of "What the $%§$%§ is that §%§$%" with regard to my resume. :)
13:21.08dick_turpinkjs: I think my CV is shite too :-(
13:21.34kjsJust wanted someone to do freelance sales for IT Support, but that doesnt sound  like something you want to do :)
13:22.00bilarhdick_turpin: so does everyone else ;D
13:22.23kjs".Knowledge of Windows NT and MS Server 2003 configuration, using both Active Directory and Exchange to create user profiles and email accounts" I didnt know you could add users via exchange?

13:28.42bilarhapart from caffeine intake
13:28.50dick_turpinThey say "You can earn £10000000000 OTE" which means "You'll earn £5.70 after 3 months when we start to target you properly then you'll be out of a job in six months because the worry of feeding your family will affect your performance"
13:30.48Azundrismakes a note not to have a family.
