00:00:30 <ehird> Huh, the iMac comes with either one of two >3 GHz Core 2 Duos, or a quad-core Core i5, or a quad-core i7 (the latter two in the 27" model only).
00:00:37 <ehird> Quite an oddball collection of thingies.
00:00:48 <ehird> "27-inch model can be attached to a wall mount, articulating arm, or other VESA-compliant mounting solution using the optional VESA Mount Adapter Kit"
00:00:49 <ehird> o_O
00:01:11 <ehird> Haha, you can stuff up to 16 GiB of memory into these things...
00:01:16 <ehird> TOO BAD THEY'RE 16:9 and therefore useless
00:14:49 <olsner> hehe, the very first thing I saw on the mac store page was the star trek screen shot :D
00:18:11 <olsner> also, the 27" imac along with the miniscule keyboard looks quite... gay?
00:20:24 <ehird> i don't really get the feeling that the 27" imac has sex with other 27" imacs...es
00:20:47 <ehird> i never thought they would go 16:9 on me
00:20:58 <ehird> all the screens are IPS, on a more positive note

22:38:54 <bsmntbombdood> fuck opendns
22:39:06 <bsmntbombdood> even my isp's dns servers pull that shit
22:39:38 <ehird> Yeah; before now, it used to be possible just to flick a few switches and voila, untarnished DNS.
22:41:36 <bsmntbombdood> 4.2.2.2, etc
22:46:37 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: Kinda sucks if you're in Europe.
22:46:40 <ehird> For obvious reasons.
22:48:32 <Ilari> Any others (in case DNS gets badly tarnished and I can't be bothered to set up caching nameserver)?
22:48:46 <ehird> 4.2.2.3, iirc.
22:48:50 <ehird> 4.2.2.4, I believe it stops eventually
22:49:32 <ehird> Ilari: For such temporary usage, OpenDNS would probably be bearable, too.
22:50:55 <ehird> Seems they want you to sign up even to use the free version now, sigh.
22:51:05 <ehird> *now. Sigh.

22:59:11 -!- jix has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).
23:04:09 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: you give them your IP
23:04:11 <ehird> and set up settings
23:04:26 <ehird> The IPs themselves might still work, but they don't publish them.
23:04:39 <bsmntbombdood> your ip address that changes every 2 days?
23:04:54 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: Maybe with your shitty connection.
23:05:05 <ehird> On a regular broadband connection, it changes every time your router blips out and disconnects/reconnects.
23:05:12 <ehird> So... rare.
23:05:15 <ehird> Months.
23:08:00 <bsmntbombdood> ...if you say so
23:08:15 -!- olsner has joined.
23:08:41 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: do you have a DSL, cable or fibre-optic connection with a non-shitty modem?
23:08:47 <bsmntbombdood> dsl
23:09:00 <ehird> yes, but your dsl's really shitty, isn't it
23:09:04 <bsmntbombdood> very
23:09:13 <ehird> and presumably the modem isn't too hot either...
23:09:49 <bsmntbombdood> either way, even if it changes every few months, that's too often to be dicking with dns
23:10:10 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: that's why you install the update client
23:10:24 <ehird> or rather, one of the handful they offer for various OSs
23:10:25 <bsmntbombdood> so you have to run their software
23:10:28 <bsmntbombdood> loflgasm
23:10:40 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: okay, how else do you propose they offer settings?
23:10:48 <bsmntbombdood> they shouldn't
23:10:53 <bsmntbombdood> it's dns
23:10:55 <bsmntbombdood> there's nothing to set
23:11:15 <ehird> right, somehow I doubt they'll be adopting your new business model which includes nobody buying their services
23:12:23 <bsmntbombdood> trying to sell something that most people don't even know about, that their isp provides for free, transparently
23:12:41 <ehird> yes, hello, welcome to capitalism, we have to change things to sell them
23:12:47 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: btw they mainly target it at businesses.
23:12:53 <ehird> mainly.
23:13:03 <ehird> oh, the ips are in their footer now
23:13:05 <ehird> how... obvious
23:13:24 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: and... I think they're doing quite well:

23:14:28 <bsmntbombdood> a few minutes ago you were expressing disdain for opendns
23:14:34 <ehird> yes
23:14:51 <ehird> because i'm primarily interested in leeching off it for free.
23:15:12 <ehird> why is it so hard to comprehend that i'd discontinue using a service for whatever reason, and yet still consider that they handle their business model in the best way they can?
23:15:51 <bsmntbombdood> this argument is stupid
23:15:58 <ehird> your mom is stupid
