| 01:29 | < Tarinaky> | Does anyone have any experience installing TeXLive on Windows? |
| 01:29 | < Tarinaky> | http://pastebin.com/72n1MZ7r I keep getting this error. |
| 01:29 | < Tarinaky> | This is installing from the dvd iso but I also get more or less the same error from the net installer. |
| 01:43 | < Alek> | "My client is asking me what type is the Parameter parameter?" "Obviously, it's type Type." |
| 01:47 | < Alek> | TechDesk: Do you work in Internet Explorer? User: Yes. TechDesk: What is your Internet Explorer called? User: (reading) Mozilla Firefox... |

| 02:58 | < Tarinaky> | Alek: I can honestly say that if a techdesk asked me what my internet explorer was called I wouldn't know how to reply. |

| 04:05 | < Phox> | He correctly anticipated the stupidity of User |
| 04:05 | | Vornicus [vorn@Nightstar-366fd9eb.ct.comcast.net] has joined #code |
| 04:05 | < Phox> | User doesn't know what a browser is. He knows what an internet explorer is, though |
| 04:08 | < Phox> | So, I'm impressed by Techdesk for knowing his clients that well, and also appalled that he's being placed in a potentially destabilizing environment. |
| 04:08 | < Phox> | If that keeps up for long enough, eventually User will end up with a monitor for a hat |
| 04:09 | < Tarinaky> | As a luser I don't care if other people's tech support gets done. I care about tech support being what -I- need it to be :p |
| 04:09 | < Vornicus> | Oh, and. numpy has at least some FORTRAN in there. It's kind of a scary thing. |
| 04:09 | < Tarinaky> | Indeed, this kind of gatekeeping is detrimental to the experience I receive :p |
| 04:10 | < Tarinaky> | Because it will end up with me reading out the output of ifconfig to a guy reading from a script for Windows. |
| 04:10 | < Tarinaky> | And nobody will be happy. |
| 04:10 | < Tarinaky> | :p |

| 22:13 | < jerith> | I was having a conversation Elsewhere, and we were contemplating the limits of lambdas. |
| 22:14 | < jerith> | Someone said "well, you can't make them recursive, because you don't have a name to refernce them by". |

| 22:17 | < TheWatcher> | I'm sure there are laws against doing that. Like natural laws, or something. |
| 22:17 | < jerith> | Paste it into a terp. It's perfectly legal. |
| 22:18 | < jerith> | Sadly, I can't get access to the actual function object. Only the bytecode attached to it. |
