Ivanovic: michaellarabel: in PTS which prog needs freeimage?
Ivanovic: this lib was masked in gentoo due to security issues
Ivanovic: # https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269516
Ivanovic: # Contains many vulnerable image libraries.
Ivanovic: ah, okay, seems to be pts/test-profiles/lightsmark.xml
Ivanovic: would be nice if you could check if this is really needed since security flaws that even have a CVE assigned should be handled...
Ivanovic: michaellarabel: around?
michaellarabel: PTS Linux Live is getting very, very ready in a state for a test release...
evocallaghan: michaellarabel: built llvm/clang before?
michaellarabel: evocallaghan: Maybe once before
evocallaghan: Oh
evocallaghan: michaellarabel:how good is your x86 asm ?
michaellarabel: Hey Deanjo, have you done any new PTS testing lately?
Deanjo: Not lately, have been busy seeding crops and upgrading the new system. Just upgraded the Case and PS today with a Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 Black Edition and a PC Power and Cooling PS
Deanjo: That Coolermaster case is huuuuuuuuuuuuuge lol
Deanjo: Think it should have a Cadilac badge on front
michaellarabel: lol is that the same as the one I bought before that you found?
Deanjo: No they don't make those anymore
Deanjo: http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?language=en&act=detail&tbcate=17&id=6600
Deanjo: 40 pound aluminum case lol
Deanjo: Really nice to work in though. Very spacious
Deanjo: I am really surprised at this PS. I was leary at how loud it would be with only a 80mm fan but it is extremely quiet http://www.pcpower.com/products/description/Silencer_750_Quad-Blue_/index.html
Deanjo: Bought a X-Fi Titanium too today. So far so good as long as it doesn't share an IRQ
Deanjo: Hey are you looking for contributing articles michaellarabel? I've bought a bunch of new stuff that I would write up reviews for?
michaellarabel: Deanjo: I do accept contributing articles. I don't think any independent user has ever contributed a review as an article, but I would trust it from you.
Deanjo: K will do, got some spare time coning up. Plus my supplier would probably allow me to grab stuff for review
michaellarabel: neat :)
Deanjo: (amazing what they will let you do when you spend 35+ k a year there) :D
michaellarabel: wow, nice.
Deanjo: I think I spent close to 7 k this year alone there on personal stuff
Deanjo: And with work stuff I deal only with them too
