11:45 dumbass no matter how good my design may be, i CANNOT get up on stage to prove it, if i do, the freaking usa government will see to it that i don't get food the following month, ever, again
11:46 dumbass i am on social security disability, if i make money, they cancel my income
11:47 dumbass my ONLY bet to get off disability income is to land a large enough amount i can live on till someone decides i am worth hiring, and a splash like a google competition win might do that for me
11:47 dumbass otherwise, i remain screwed
11:48 dumbass the gov won't let me prove i am worth it, i cannot convince anyone i am worth it, and it makes me especially angry that i cannot convince you or Tom that i am worth it
11:59 NotWorthCr4p i built my house in a way i could run a business from it, it was even set up with 25-pair phone line, i had a business licence, but when the neighbor moved in and the dogs controlled all access to my property, it all fell apart
12:00 NotWorthCr4p but social secuirity noticed i had the business license and contacted me
12:01 NotWorthCr4p for years i could not get parcel delivery at all, and getting snail mail still requires a gun
12:33 NotWorthCr4p yesterday, i was looking at getting an airsoft pistol, just so i don't haveto kill the gods, and ammo is cheaper and more available, and quieter, and fewer laws involving them
12:34 NotWorthCr4p the laws are stupid here: you can carry a gun on your belt in plain view, but you cannot have it in your car unless it's unloaded and in a locked steel box where no one can get to it
12:37 NotWorthCr4p this makes it legally complicated when driving a car with no lockbox, and being outside the gate where the gods are when coming/going to/from my property
12:38 NotWorthCr4p because humans cannot make it simple: yes you can protect yourself, yes we will enforce the god laws, or here, we will work with you because you ARE worth a crap
13:53 NotWorthCr4p "It appears it was the shooter still wearing his UPS uniform and two other employees,'' the chief said. <<== well, that's gory as hell, to be wearing his uniform and two employees
18:34 NotWorthCr4p i figured out why the only local tv station i can get (the one going dark in 5 days) has been covering the UPS shooter all day, when people shoot each other in Bham every day like clockwork:
18:34 NotWorthCr4p the ups shooter is white
18:41 tWorthCr4p used a hacksaw and another radiator (which i happened to have a spare of) to repair the leaky one ,, then found the reason the engine was dying at idle was a busted off pcv valve (which i happened to have a spare of), and then when thermocycling the car engine found the new radiator cap *itself* leaked (and i had a spare of that
21:02 TELunus I've got the most frustrating issue.
21:02 tWorthCr4p hands TELunus more toilet p
21:03 TELunus I'm trying to use C to make a GUI program with a library called Cairo. I've got their sample program compiling and linking.
21:04 TELunus But on runtime a windows dialog comes up and tells me "The aplication was unable to start correctly (0xc00000be)"
21:05 TELunus And, as far as I can tell, google doesn't have a clue what the issue is.
21:05 TELunus Although I'm aware I'm not the best googler out there.
21:34 rue_mohr I thought you said you didn't use C?
21:35 rue_mohr why not use SDL-gfx?
21:36 rue_mohr does the demo work? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_%28graphics%29
21:36 rue_mohr I need to go make supper
21:47 TELunus Well, it's a C example I'm trying to compile. Once I get it figured out I'll wrap it all up in nice C++ packaging.
21:51 TELunus I used a demo from the cairo website, which is simpler than the demo on wikipedia
21:51 TELunus http://cairographics.org/FAQ/
21:51 TELunus The first question is "what would a minimal program look like".
23:14 NotWorthCr4p someone named one of their boats Ziemia Mazoniecka and the other one Ziema Olsztynska
23:15 NotWorthCr4p and Ziemia Szczecinska
23:15 NotWorthCr4p Ziemia Zamojska
23:15 NotWorthCr4p Zierikzee
23:18 tWorthCr4p feels stupid, cause while she was wiring xformers, Tiggr was reading about antibiotics use in 3rd trimester of pregnancy in humans,, and other s
