09:18.40bluspacecowdinner reservations ?
09:22.00Timmehnice, -2 seats available?
09:22.33nevcairieli think its hotel rooms
09:22.50Timmehnice, -2 things available?
09:25.50bluspacecow<PROTECTED>
09:29.21sbznf: your software? :D
09:29.55znfyeah, nevcairiel is right
09:30.02znfsb, the stupid hotel software
09:30.08znf(horrible piece of shit)
09:30.18znfand yeah, I'm negative 2 rooms... for fuckin' september >_<
09:30.50Timmehouch :-9
09:30.52Timmeh:-(*
09:31.14Timmehbut you have 100 of something else!
09:31.19Timmehthat's positive, right? :-P
09:31.26znfTimmeh, that's another day :P
09:31.31Timmehah :-P
09:31.47nevcairielbut you have like 10 unallocated
09:31.51nevcairielallocate them already!
09:31.52znfhttp://i.imgur.com/tGO8WmK.png
09:31.56Timmehstop slacking! allocate!
09:32.19znfit's really a puzzle tbh :)
09:32.25Timmehit seems like it
09:32.33znftrying to fit everyone's preferences in their room allocation
09:32.38znftwin beds, pool view, queen bed etc.
09:32.44Timmehyea
09:32.48Timmeh3 tentatives? are they counted towards availability already?
09:32.52Timmehor is it actually -5? :-P
09:33.15znfcounted already
09:33.26TimmehI see
09:33.26znftentatives are rooms that have no deposit
09:33.46Timmehso you just tell 2 of them to bugger off? :-P
09:34.00sbwell, whats the typical no-show rate?
09:34.14Timmehor do you have "spare rooms" that are not added in the availability?
09:34.22znfTimmeh, we don't, anymore :D
09:34.24TimmehI have no clue how you'd solve such a problem :-P
09:34.24nevcairielsb: on such a day, everyone shows up =P
09:34.25Timmehah
09:34.30znfwhat nevcairiel said ^
09:34.49znfTimmeh, me neither. I hope someone breaks down their car or something
09:35.00Timmehyou can always.. induce that.. >_>
09:35.01Timmeh<_<
09:35.11znf...we did, to one of our supervisors
09:35.12znf:-"
09:35.19znfhe had it coming
09:35.22Timmehhah
09:35.23sbor relocate some hot girls to your appartment?!
09:35.40znfheck, I even free'd up my room
09:35.55znfTimmeh, and I also made sure that the video surveillance didn't work :-"
09:36.05Timmehand your room is already counted towards the availability? or are you -1 then? :-P
09:36.11Timmehznf: obviously :-)
09:36.23znfTimmeh, my room is counted already :D

09:36.47Timmehznf: ouch :-P
09:36.59znfheck, we're actually alocating DBLs in APTs, just to get trough this part
09:37.00znf>_<
09:37.15Timmehso how does that happen? does it just not stop reservations at 0? or a race condition of 2 reservations at the same time?
09:37.43Timmehthe former would mean retarded software, the latter would mean retarded software developers :-P
09:38.10znfTimmeh, it warns you, but in the same time it allows you to go on
09:38.16Timmehoh..
09:38.17znflike, "I know what I'm doing"
09:38.19Timmeh>_>
09:38.21Timmeh<_<
09:38.23nevcairielso retarded person
09:38.46znfyeah... our front-desk manager acted retarded
09:39.01nevcairielmake this his problem then
09:39.12znfI had 0 rooms available, she took one reservation from one of the owners, even though we stopped selling for 2 weeks for that time-frame
09:39.33znfplus, there's the whole thing of working with travel agents
09:40.05Timmehwell, full is full.. isn't it? nomatter who asks? you can't really go around and telling customers who reserved that they can't come
09:40.33znfby contract they're obligated to send allocations one week before they tourists arrive
09:40.59Timmehand what if you're full by then? you're contractually obligated to still take them on?
09:41.01znfbut they sold a few unannounced rooms since june, which they already cashed out :P
09:41.18Timmeh"unannounced rooms"? o_O
09:41.45znfTimmeh, yeah, I mean they didn't announce the rooms until last week, after we asked them to stop the sales
09:41.53Timmehright...
09:41.56Timmehnice..
09:42.12Timmehwe're looking at building a planning/reservation application at my company, but now I'm not so sure we should anymore :-P
09:43.00znfYeah, what screws you over is the slow communications between departments, for example.
09:43.12znfLike, a few weeks ago we had the shittest situation ever
09:43.40znfI needed a pool-view room. I managed to find an unconfirmed one, removed it, and in less than 30 seconds a receptionist made a reservation on it and checked the room in
09:43.45znfwe were like... O.O
09:47.41znfIt's also /so/ fun when tourists come screaming at the reception...
09:52.35Timmehnice
09:52.53Timmehso the application should have a "free-and-reserve" option
09:53.06Timmehor basically just a "replace-reservation" option
09:53.21Timmehso you can't have that happen :-P
09:53.29Timmehand yea, tourists like to think they own the place
09:54.18TimmehI did a bus trip through southern Turkey once, never again. can't put up with those other tourists.
09:56.13znfthe higher the star count, the more retarded customers, tbh :-/

10:37.55Timmehdid you force the front-desk person out of his room?
10:38.05znfno, freed one more room out of the staff
10:38.15znfmoved him to the smallest room we have :D
10:38.23znfwhich we can't sell
10:38.29TimmehI see
10:38.33Timmehtoo small to sell?
10:38.57znfyeah
10:52.51nevcairielwhy do staff people even have rooms
10:52.55nevcairieldont they have homes
10:53.21znfnevcairiel, because not all of them are from the area
10:53.42znfheck, I'm from the area and I usually keep one room, because if I finish up work at 4 am, fuck going home and getting back at work at 10am...
10:58.14Timmehfriend of mine interned at a hotel, and they seemed to just keep a whole staff floor there, where the interns got a room as well

11:08.11k0ndaajust checking
11:10.01quiescenshello, world!
11:12.53znfTimmeh, yeah, because ground-floor rooms are really hard to sell
11:15.46znfYAAAAAAAAAAAAY
11:15.56znfsome tourists left
11:16.00Timmehwoop!
11:16.07znfthe one good aspect of "Lost Business"
11:16.08znf\o/
11:16.16Timmehheh
11:16.21Timmehdid you "ask them to leave nicely"
11:16.45znfno, the room wasn't clean yet (check-out is usually at 12, and the hotel day starts at 18:00), as they arrived earlier
11:16.51znfand they waited too much
11:17.10nevcairielcheckin at 18 is really late though, i always hate that
11:17.12znftheir problem, I don't care :D
11:17.22Timmehso they just left cause they thought they had to wait for too long?
11:17.55znfnevcairiel, yeah, I know it sucks. We try to accomodate everyone earlier, but we cover our backs with the "hotel day starts at 18".
11:18.05znfI mean, I have no problems checking in people if the room is clean at 9am.
11:18.08nevcairielmost hotels i visited lately had at least 16
11:18.24nevcairielalthough when i showed up at 13 they didnt let me in yet :P
11:18.25znfit all depends on the Housekeeping staff
11:18.39nevcairielnext trip my airplane arrives at like 5am
11:18.49quiescensdon't go
11:18.56nevcairielwth am i going to do all day
11:18.56nevcairielhope the hotel at least lets me store my bag somewhere
11:18.56znfif there's 100 departures that day and 100 arrivals, you're not going to get checked in at 12 :P
11:19.15znfYou could always call for an early check-in, can't you?
11:19.34nevcairiel5am is still pretty damn early :P
11:19.42nevcairielwell, 5am airport means 7am hotel, but still
11:19.55znfwe don't even end the night by 5am :D
11:19.56Timmehor just arrive, and ask for the hotel to look after your luggage for a few hours, I never had trouble when I asked for that
11:20.09znfwe have a baggage room, for example
11:20.09nevcairielyeah that usually works
11:20.14nevcairielmost hotels do that
11:20.58nevcairielbut after a 26 hour flight, you just want no stress with anything :)
11:21.22nevcairieladmittedly, if we were to get our rooms, we would probably fall asleep immediately and never get rid of the jetlag
11:23.05Timmehhah, imagine walking into a hotel asking for your room, and they answer "sorry, we can't do that, you'd fall asleep and never get rid of your jetlag"

11:30.51nevcairielwhen i was in the US two weeks ago, i checked out at like 6am from my hotel because i was up at 4am already from the jetlag still
11:31.03nevcairieltakes ages to get rid of your inner clock
11:31.05nevcairielreally annoying

12:00.33Timmehwhat is the general consensus in this channel about bigwigs vs. dbm?
12:00.59TimmehI've just historically always used dbm
12:01.26EthanCentauraiI tend to use BigWigs nowadays as DBM explodes with "script ran too long" errors
12:01.37Kalrothbigwigs author hangs in here, dbm doesn't - take a wild guess :P
12:01.50EthanCentauraiDBM's website also has gold-selling ads
12:02.06TimmehKalroth: well yes, I was wondering whether I should add a "except for the bigwigs author being more popular in here" sentence :-P
12:02.31EthanCentauraiit depends on what you want really
12:02.52Kalrothback when i raided i used DBM as it was often updated faster and accurate on most fights, no idea how it is today
12:03.02StanzillaKalroth: wrong, he does
12:03.07EthanCentauraiDBM is generally aimed at complete noobs while BW seems more aligned to experienced players

12:04.21Kalroth(my experience is limited to vanilla, TBC and wotlk)
12:05.02Stanzillasince I'm in being-a-dick-mode atm I can once again ask breser if he looked at the patch
12:05.16Kalrothyou ever left the being a dick mode?
12:05.30Stanzillawhen I sleep, yes
12:06.04TimmehI should probably just investigate the next few raids
12:06.07Timmehso I can decide before SoO
12:06.31StanzillaI would say they are both pretty up to date
12:06.39Stanzillaas both have devs that tested on the ptr
12:06.47Timmehyea, I would assume so
12:07.06Stanzillabigwigs having one that raids more hardcore though heroic modules tend to be more up to date if he is in the mood to commit :D
12:07.19Timmehheh
12:07.50Timmehwell, a few of the people in #acherus (the DK theorycrafting channel on irc.coldfront.net) are in a pretty hc raiding guild with some DBM devs, iirc
12:08.06Stanzillathere is only one real DBM dev
12:08.12Stanzillaso that has to be MysticalOS
12:08.30Timmehwell, "suppliers" then? :-P I don't know, just what I heard a few of them say in there
12:09.26Stanzilladunno, his guid has many internet famous guys
12:09.26Timmehanother option is obviously that they're just trying to come across influential or fancy
12:09.49Timmehitnernets celebs!
12:09.57Stanzillayes
12:10.00sylvanaarif there is only one thing people in irc hate more than each other I think it is people from other irc channels
12:10.23Stanzillanobody's hating here .D
12:10.30Timmehhaha, I think #acherus has a different scope than #wowace ;-)
12:10.34Timmehso I don't see a reason for hate
12:10.57mitch0hates sylvanaar for obscure reasons
12:11.00Repobig-wigs: 03Wetxius * r11060 SiegeOfOrgrimmar/Locales/ruRU.lua: Added ruRU triggers for Galakras.
12:11.28Timmehbut yea, mainly wondering what the difference is in types of information they provide. I imagine they both provide the basics, but surely there are some different approaches or decisions on what details are more important in a fight
12:11.51TimmehI figured someone in here would have enough experience to share :-)

14:53.50Timmehah, the .zip is the OS X version, not the windows version, that one's actually .exe
14:53.54Fiskeryou do know that usually the tracking number is sufficient to redirect packages? :3
14:54.27Timmehfor OS X, I'd guess the reason is that .app "files" are not files but just directories

14:57.55TimmehOS X apps are always funny like that .app/Contents/"
14:58.04Timmehwhat? yes, I wanted to see the Contents.
14:58.25Timmeh"Contents/MacOS", orly?
15:01.45bluipodcow*giggle*
15:05.41znftbh, I actually like their OS thingie about apps and stuff
15:05.51znfmakes it easy to install/uninstall things
15:06.02Timmehyea, it's nice cause it's so self-contained
15:06.10znfsure, it's not ideal, but drag&drop-ing a file to "programs" to have it installed is quite awesome
15:06.37Timmehthough what most OS X users don't realise is that, just like on other OSs, OS X saves settings in other directory structures still, but OS X hides it a bit better
15:06.50Timmehlike in the `/Users/<name>/Library/Application Support` directories
15:07.52Timmehthe problem with Windows is that, historically, programs like to save things either in their 'Program Files' directory (which is weird cause they're local settings, not program files, but at least self-contained) or in 'My Documents' (which is weird, cause they're not documents)
15:08.37Timmehonly relatively recently (since Vista) more programs start using the more hidden folders in a user's directory
15:09.09Timmehwhereas before Windows XP, the actual "right" way on Windows systems would've been to save it all in the registry, but no one ever liked Windows' registry :-P
15:09.56znfbecause the registry is bad :(
15:11.28TimmehI think a database like that to store settings could work rather well
15:11.38Timmehjust not the way they did it, I guess.. it feels so clunky to work with
15:12.31Timmehand it's gotten a very negative name, due to malware getting stuff to autostart through that, etc.
15:12.41Timmehand because your illegal software generally needs some tweaks :-P
15:12.46Timmehand all the "registry cleaner" applications
15:13.18Timmehand because of the way it works, you need an actual "uninstall" action for applications
15:13.23Timmehand on OS X you can just drag it to the bin, and it's gone
15:13.47Timmeh(while an actual "uninstall" action on OS X could clean up user settings as well, but it's not as easy)
15:13.58Timmeheasy for users, I mean
15:14.11Timmehthere is nothing more fun than just dragging your failed app to the recycle bin!
15:14.17Timmeh"I don't like you anymore, bye!"
15:16.17quiescensregistry was tedious

15:23.26znfthe whole "is this a regword?" crap in the registry
15:23.34znfkeys, regwords, dwords etc.
15:25.36nevcairielwth is a regword
15:26.04nevcairielit only has a few basic types, strings, binary fields, dword and qword
15:26.16nevcairieldword is 32-bit and qword is 64-bit
15:26.24nevcairielnot really that hard :p
15:26.42quiescenswhat was the benefit anyway?
15:26.45znfyeah, I'll never figure out why there have to be so many data types
15:26.53znfwhat quiescens said :P
15:27.15nevcairielyou could've probably done with one number type, but what other types do you want to skip? :P
15:27.55quiescenswhat did using the registry offer, over just storing config files in a user directory (or a system directory, for system stuff)
15:28.13nevcairielits easy to use and you dont need to deal with stupid files
15:28.43znffrom my n00b perspective, I would have rather worked with files
15:28.55bluipodcowLooking good via altering system settings with a tool default to any windows install
15:29.29nevcairielwhat do config files offer that the registry cant? :p
15:29.57bluipodcowBonus yoda points if you could write a text file registry settings export file from scratch
15:30.21quiescensi can see it making sense as a windows settings thingy
15:30.34quiescensbut i mostly didn't like it for applications
15:30.37quiescens):
15:30.50bluipodcowFrom which regedit can import settings
15:31.06nevcairielas a programmer, using the registry is just trivial, storing/retrieving settings, structuring settings etc
15:31.15nevcairielstore both system global and user settings
15:31.30nevcairielglobal settings is otherwise a bit of a nightmare on windows
15:31.57nevcairielcant write files to your application dir because of system protection, etc
15:32.23quiescensshrug
15:32.38quiescensglobal settings for user apps was a silly thing in the first place
15:32.51Timmehwell, you're not supposed to have local settings (or local anything) in application directories anyway :-P
15:32.56znffinding a specific setting for a specific app in the registry is a nightmare...
15:33.08znfand searching trough the registry is /so/ slow
15:33.09Timmehand where Unix systems have /etc, Windows has the registry
15:33.24nevcairielas opposed to some proprietary config file format, which may or may not be even user readable? :P
15:33.46nevcairielor humand readable rather
15:33.49nevcairielhuman*
15:33.56Timmehand where Unix systems have /home/.something, Windows (pre-XP) had the registry
15:34.00quiescensuser applications being written in such a way as to expect to be able to store systemwide settings and stuff
15:34.12TimmehWindows now has a place in the C:\Users\<user> directory as well, I guess
15:34.14quiescensis hardly a good reason to justify it
15:34.36nevcairieleh, plenty applications have good reasons to store some information globally
15:34.52Timmehnevcairiel: storing globally != storing in application directory, though
15:35.24nevcairielyour point being?
15:35.32nevcairielthats what the registry is for
15:35.35Timmehindeed
15:35.38Timmehthat's what I just said :-P
15:35.42Fiskerwhere else would you put it?
15:35.42nevcairieli've been saying that for the last minutes :P
15:36.20Timmehthing is that no one (including developers) seems to like the registry, so they started saving it in their application directory
15:36.30Timmehsince there was hardly any separation of privileges anyway on Windows systems
15:36.38Timmehit was "the easy way out"
15:37.17quiescensglobal settings are for people with permission to do global settings, the idea that the registry was good because it allows people to change global settings without permission to change files doesn't really explain it
15:37.38nevcairieli suppose there is also C:\ProgramData
15:37.38nevcairielbut its a bit meh
15:37.38znfI still prefer to store app settings in the program directory
15:37.38nevcairielthats because your contry is still in the 90s
15:37.38nevcairielcountry*
15:37.38znfMost computers run single user, anyway...
15:37.48Timmehwell, I like the idea of having all settings in a databae, rather than files
15:37.55Fiskerno znf
15:37.57znfmost home computers
15:38.02quiescenseven if it was that, its still little different from using a specific directory and allowing access to the specific configuration file or whatever
15:38.35StanzillaI hate it when super old stuff puts its files into the Windows folder
15:38.43znfthat's an annoyance :P
15:38.47Timmehor in their application folder :-P
15:38.48znfbut... that also made me incredibly lazy
15:38.49StanzillaI just found stuff from 2007 in it the other day
15:38.53Stanzillasome sound driver shit
15:38.54znfI drop ffmpeg.exe in C:\windows :D
15:39.12quiescensi think drivers probably have reason to put stuff in the windows directories?
15:39.16quiescensmebeh
15:39.22nevcairielwhy do you even have a windows from 2007 on your pc
15:39.25Stanzillanot into the root of it
15:39.29StanzillaI dont nevcairiel
15:39.32Stanzillathe file was from 2007
15:39.35FiskerI hate it when programs give everyone full control over its directory
15:40.28Fiskershould be illegal
15:40.49StanzillaI love portable programs
15:40.50Timmehyou could compare the usage of the Windows registry to the usage of AceConfig. you only use an API to retrieve and change settings, and it's then saved in the right place, and you don't have to care where it saves it.
15:40.58Timmehit's a good idea
15:41.07Timmehbut AceConfig seems to do it better than the Windows registry :-P
15:41.20nevcairielexcept that AceConfig doesnt save stuff, you have to do that
15:41.22nevcairiel:D
15:41.44Timmehmeh, I've only written 2 tiny WoW addons, don't hit me with my ignorance :-P
15:42.32quiescensbut they could have given a best practices thing, and an api or whatever, to store settings in files and such without having it in one big database with its own permission system
15:42.49quiescensi guess, if the standard filesystem permission system had worked, at the time
15:43.16TimmehI think the nice thing about the FHS setup, is that you get your /etc/<project> folder, and you dump in there whatever is local to your application in whatever format
15:43.30Timmehand the same thing goes for user settings in their home dir
15:43.41Timmehthough I'm not going to say all applications do that nicely :-P
15:44.09Timmeh/home/.config/<project>, /home/<project/, /home/.<project>, /home/.<developer>/project >_>
15:45.54TimmehI guess there's pros and cons to either solution. I do like the idea of having a database (i.e. registry) for settings, but I also like the flexibility of just having your own space for settings files in any format

20:02.33Stanzillaholy shit the new fritzbox is 290 euros
20:02.47Gnarfozsince when have fritzboxen been cheap
20:02.56Stanzillanever but 290 is insane
20:03.02Gnarfozshrugs
20:03.16Gnarfozdon't see a reason to buy them anyway
20:03.20Gnarfozalternatives
20:03.41Stanzillawhat's the best alternative to them?
20:04.51nevcairieli got the fritz box because i also needed a vdsl modem
20:05.13nevcairieland most "alternatives" are pure routers
20:05.45nevcairielbut happy with it, works just perfectly
20:07.02nevcairielthere comes a point when you're happy that a device just works out of the box without a lot of firmware flashing and manual config file editing. :P
20:07.46Megalonyea, that having better things to do point
20:07.55nevcairielexactly!
20:15.57Gnarfozpff

20:16.49nevcairielany good geek is a lazy geek
20:19.31nevcairieli had dd-wrt on the old device, but i just cba anymore
20:24.56Stanzillayeah I was always happy with my fritzboxes
20:25.07Stanzillaonly had to hack it once
20:25.15Stanzillawhen their firmware did not support changing dns servers
20:31.27StanzillaWTF IS THIS SHIT

22:11.12ArcharodimRecently I've received several debug repots where the savedvariables get corrupted: "WTF\Account\XXXXXXX\SavedVariables\Decursive.lua:1: unexpected symbol", is it a current known WoW issue?
22:13.47Funkeh`no
22:13.50Stanzillahappens on DCs and crashes
22:14.02Funkeh`never happened to me
22:14.39Gnarfoznot a recent issue for me
22:14.55Gnarfozbut was the reason I wrote a wtf backup script way back then
22:15.52Stanzillamy wtf folder is a git repo :(
22:17.08Archarodimit's quite rare (I receive only 1 or 2 reports a week) but when it does happen, it seems that all the user's saved variables get damaged

22:48.46StanzillaI hate it when I download something in 720p and it has black bars on top/bottom
22:48.51Stanzillawhy do film makers do that
22:48.52Stanzillawhyy
22:51.35Gnarfozbecause aspect ratio
22:51.56Gnarfozalso, they didn't release it in 720p anyway, so blame the fuckwit who encoded the bottom of the barrel crap you're apparently willing to download
22:52.12Gnarfoz(I hope you meant they encoded the letterbox into the video)
22:53.01Ceramore than half of films lately are 3.39?:1 not 16:9
22:53.38znfCera, that doesn't explain why it has black bars encoded
22:58.37Stanzillafile is 1280x544
22:58.40Stanzillamakes it even more sad
22:58.42Stanzillaman...

23:25.25vhaarrthanks for asking
23:26.57Ceratheater screens are 2.39:1 and 1.85:1, film producers don't really care what ratio your tv is

23:43.51GnarfozStanzilla: 1280x544 sounds ok? that shouldn't include black bars
23:44.05Stanzillayes it does not include black bars
23:44.09Stanzillabut when you fullscreen that
23:44.11Stanzillait has
23:44.14Gnarfozof course?
23:44.17Gnarfozit's called wide screen?
23:44.30Stanzillabut why cant I have fullscreen video without black bars
23:44.34Gnarfozzoom.
23:44.42Gnarfozor get a 21:9 or whatever display
23:44.45Stanzillazoom cuts off left and right
23:44.50Gnarfozobviously it does?
23:45.06Stanzillaso the only solution to this crap is a 21:9 screen?
23:45.10Gnarfozcrap?
23:45.27Stanzillayes why can't they make it so it is fullscreen withouth the bars
23:45.28Gnarfozyour FoV is not square
23:45.39Gnarfozbecause it's made for cinema?
23:45.56Stanzillaand cinema is 21:9?
23:46.00Gnarfozare you depressed or something, or why are you trying to debate "why does widescreen exist"?
23:46.16Gnarfozno. it's 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 these days, mostly, like Cera already said
23:46.19StanzillaI am depressed but actually never understood why dvds never used the full screen
23:46.24Gnarfozbecause WHY
23:46.29Gnarfozand they did.
23:46.34Gnarfozand FS versions are an abomination
23:46.44Gnarfozfor the very reason you just said: cropping
23:47.09Stanzillaso basicly it comes down to it always being gay because cinema has a different ratio
23:47.10Stanzillagreat
23:47.15Gnarfozhttp://www.amazon.com/The-Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Edition/dp/B000065U3Q ARRGH
23:47.27Gnarfozwhat the hell is gay about it
23:47.47Gnarfozit's not their fault you're using a display device with a different aspect ratio
23:47.50RessyLove it.  Youtube blocked a video in Canada on a trumped up Defamation complaint - the video was done in the US, and aimed at US companies.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ilMx7k7mso
23:48.18StanzillaGnarfoz: well it's the industries fault for using 2 different ratios
23:48.26Stanzillacinema and my home display should be the same :(
23:48.36Gnarfozthe industry?
23:48.50Gnarfozand maybe your home THEATER setup should be the same
23:49.06Gnarfozbut then that's obviously your own responsibility
23:49.24Stanzillawell I've never seen 2.35:1 tvs before
23:49.35Gnarfozare you being a moron for the sake of it
23:49.43Stanzillano I just have no clue
23:49.49Stanzillamy tv is 20 years old
23:49.50Gnarfozand it's not "the industry" who decides this but the creative people who actually make the movies you obviously want to watch
23:50.28Stanzillawhat I mean is that every tv should have the ratio as every cinema
23:50.34Stanzilla*same
23:51.11Gnarfozthere's more than one aspect ratio
23:51.25Stanzillasame problem
23:51.27Stanzillagimme standards
23:51.29Gnarfoznot a problem.
23:51.37Gnarfozalso, your solution exists:
23:51.40Gnarfozget a fucking projector
23:51.46Gnarfoz(derp, that's what the cinemas do!)
23:52.03Stanzillashould just force every movie maker to use the same thing
23:52.13Gnarfozor when was the last time you went to a cinema and they switched out the screen for every movie
23:52.30Gnarfozyeah, and also force them to just make fantasy movies.
23:52.39Stanzillawell I never thought about that because I thought every cinema movie has the same ratio
23:52.41znfvhaarr, sorry to hear that, hope she gets well
23:53.07StanzillaGnarfoz: just dont tell me that this wouldnt be good
23:53.11Gnarfozit wouldn't?
23:53.21Stanzillawhy?
23:53.26Gnarfozrandomly imposing limitations on creative people was a good idea, WHEN?
23:53.49znfStanzilla, buy a 2.35:1 TV already?
23:53.53znfI really want one :(
23:53.55Gnarfoznext up: all music must be in 4/4 beat, because everything else just sounds... crazy!
23:54.00Gnarfozznf: projector
23:54.15znfscrew the projector, I want an actual monitor with that AR :D
23:54.22Gnarfozalso, 21:9
23:54.25Gnarfozznf: why.
23:54.34Gnarfozdon't be as obtuse an asshat as he is
23:54.35znfbecause it's awesome ^^
23:54.42znfI like wide screens
23:54.45Gnarfozno? it's not awesome in any form?
23:54.49StanzillaI don't get why people have to express their creativiy in aspect ratio
23:54.50Stanzillabut ok
23:54.58Gnarfozwhat the hell is awesomererer about a display with that AR than using a projector
23:55.18GnarfozStanzilla: because they want the experience of the viewer to be a certain way?
23:55.19znfGnarfoz, I like wiiiiiiiiiiiide screens to work with
23:55.27Gnarfozznf: this is not about work
23:55.36znfmovies, too!
23:55.54znfI don't have the space for a projector :P
23:56.02Gnarfoznot anyone's problem
23:56.14Gnarfozalso, short throw projectors do exist, you probably do have the space.
23:56.33Gnarfoz(~1.5 m minimum distance to projection surface? your room can't be too small for that)
23:56.41znfinteresting
23:56.57Gnarfozobviously the picture won't be HUEG then
23:56.58Gnarfoz;]
23:57.00Gnarfozanyway

23:57.11Gnarfozgood night
23:57.12Gnarfoz:D
23:57.37Gnarfozand if you really want to improve something: make series be released en bloc instead of weekly. aaaargh breaking bad
23:57.40Gnarfoz:p
23:59.21Stanzillastill bullshit
23:59.27Stanzillawtb one ratio for everything movie
