| oiaohm | Driver signing is not the main issue. | Jan 18 02:25 |
|---|
| oiaohm | The driver itself is. yuhong | Jan 18 02:25 |
|---|
| yuhong | Exactly, I know. | Jan 18 02:25 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Because ms signs a lot of drivers that never gets updated. | Jan 18 02:25 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they keep trying every session hoping to pull a squeaker | Jan 18 02:25 |
|---|
| yuhong | Yep. | Jan 18 02:26 |
|---|
| oiaohm | so making signing drivers a waste of time because the layer under it is defective. yuhong | Jan 18 02:26 |
|---|
| yuhong | Yep, I know. | Jan 18 02:26 |

| oiaohm | Kinda makes a joke of MS DRM with the holes in MS secuirty | Jan 18 02:28 |

| DaemonFC | oiaohm: They're really only worried about securing the parts of Windows that can be subverted to compromise DRM | Jan 18 02:28 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: misuse of public funds | Jan 18 02:29 |
|---|

|---|
| oiaohm | So you argument they are only interested in the areas that can compromise drm is wrong. | Jan 18 02:30 |
|---|
| oiaohm | MS wanted DRM so they could sell it to media companies and make money. | Jan 18 02:30 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | it's all they're working on | Jan 18 02:30 |
|---|
| oiaohm | MS total interest is extracting money. | Jan 18 02:30 |
|---|
| yuhong | I would not go that far. | Jan 18 02:30 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: The library here uses WMA because they can DRM the audio book to time out after 20 days | Jan 18 02:30 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That is based on there history yuhong | Jan 18 02:30 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: I miss paper already | Jan 18 02:31 |

| oiaohm | Ask some of the reactos developers sometime about direct x on XP compared to 2000 | Jan 18 02:31 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and turn it into an Ogg Vorbis or MP3 file | Jan 18 02:31 |
|---|
| yuhong | This was supposed to go to DaemonFC. | Jan 18 02:31 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | *shrugs* | Jan 18 02:31 |

|---|
| oiaohm | Higher | Jan 18 02:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm | So sell more copies. | Jan 18 02:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Then Vista MS pushed the DRM side to sell DRM to media companies. | Jan 18 02:32 |
|---|
| yuhong | I know. | Jan 18 02:32 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Again its money. | Jan 18 02:32 |

|---|
| DaemonFC | I prefer Audible though, you can get it in really high bitrate, and barely lose anything by converting it to Vorbis or Speex | Jan 18 02:33 |
|---|
| yuhong | I was trying to respond to DaemonFC, not to oiaohm. | Jan 18 02:33 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | I mainly use Vorbis for audio books cause my portable won't do Speex | Jan 18 02:33 |

| Eruaran | Microsoft has discontinued XP Pro but technically business customers can still use it | Jan 18 03:47 |
|---|
| Eruaran | They are artificially inflating Windows 7 numbers by forcing people to buy Windows 7 | Jan 18 03:47 |

| Eruaran | One of your business clients today needed to upgrade from Windows 2000 to XPP because of lack of driver support on newer hardware | Jan 18 03:48 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: yep, same trick applied to vista figures. | Jan 18 03:49 |
|---|
| Eruaran | According to Microsoft, if they buy Windows 7 Professional they can use one of their Windows XP Profesionally license keys to install XP on that system, then call Microsoft to tell them that they bought W7Pro and they are ok with that. | Jan 18 03:49 |

| Eruaran | Windows 7 never gets installed, Windows XP does, but they have to buy a Windows 7 license. | Jan 18 03:50 |

| oiaohm | The goverment is wanting 30 in 5 years time if they can. | Jan 18 05:20 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | the government likes paying for news that favors it | Jan 18 05:20 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | calling it a public channel | Jan 18 05:20 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | or public radio | Jan 18 05:20 |
|---|
| oiaohm | ABC here ie the public has 2 radio and 3 tv inside australia. | Jan 18 05:21 |
|---|
| oiaohm | And out of the 3 tv only 1 runs news. | Jan 18 05:21 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | there's no real news if the government is controlling what you can tell or show to people | Jan 18 05:21 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | some governments jsut nationalize the news channels | Jan 18 05:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Note there are 4 other non goverment run free to air public channels that run news here. | Jan 18 05:22 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | others just work behind the scenes with outfits like the FCC | Jan 18 05:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That are owned by independant companies DaemonFC | Jan 18 05:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That is due to the rules layed down here. | Jan 18 05:23 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | might be privately owned, but you won't stay on the air if you piss the wrong people off | Jan 18 05:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm | The goverment channel runs a show called media watch. | Jan 18 05:23 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | public broadcasting ftw. | Jan 18 05:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That job is to check on how correct the reporting is. | Jan 18 05:23 |

|---|
| FurnaceBoy | i think he'll die first | Jan 18 05:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yet it is tollerable for the other channels to pull the abc new appeart. | Jan 18 05:24 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and nobody even bothers to notice or care | Jan 18 05:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Basically our free to air is a regulated blood bath. | Jan 18 05:24 |

|---|
| DaemonFC | they consume way less power than the 4000 series | Jan 18 05:55 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Basically until basic mode setting docs are out how much of the r700 work directly applies will not be known on the evergreens. | Jan 18 05:56 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Ie sometime this month the mode setting docs for the evergreens will be out. | Jan 18 05:56 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | ATI open source support is lagging so far behind | Jan 18 05:56 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | it's better in the areas where it does work | Jan 18 05:56 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | texture corruption seems to be the biggest issue | Jan 18 05:57 |
|---|
| oiaohm | evergreen is most likely the chip set where the open source catch up at long last. | Jan 18 05:57 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | there's not much left to do to get the 4000 series working properly | Jan 18 05:58 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | I'm hoping the rest of the work gets done before Ubuntu 10.04 ships | Jan 18 05:58 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Other than mesa updates not much at all. | Jan 18 05:58 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | but I guess if it doesn't, I can use 10.04 and xorg-edgers repo | Jan 18 05:58 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Will not all be done before Ubuntu 10.04 | Jan 18 05:58 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Most likely by the one after DaemonFC | Jan 18 05:59 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | xorg-edgers will probably give 10.04 full 4000 series support | Jan 18 05:59 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | before 10.10 is out | Jan 18 05:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Ie mesa will not support full opengl 3.0 for Ubuntu 10.04 | Jan 18 05:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That is required to use that card to max DaemonFC | Jan 18 05:59 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | OpenGL 3.2 actually :) | Jan 18 05:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm | No internally is opengl 3.0 | Jan 18 06:00 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | but like I said, PPA's are probably Ubuntu's biggest asset | Jan 18 06:00 |
|---|
| oiaohm | The extra .2 is done in software. | Jan 18 06:00 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | you can retrofit anything onto an already released version of Ubuntu through a PPA | Jan 18 06:00 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Evergreen is opengl 3.2 internally. | Jan 18 06:00 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | that's what impresses me most of Ubuntu and Debian's package management | Jan 18 06:00 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | the apt sources are very readable even if you have to edit them directly | Jan 18 06:01 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | Yum sources in Fedora are kind of the opposite of that | Jan 18 06:01 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and if you don't set the priorities, you can end up corrupting anything | Jan 18 06:02 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Evergreen is still supported by the ati closed source drivers at this stage. | Jan 18 06:03 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Hopefully it will be the last ATI closed source driver. | Jan 18 06:03 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | yeah, the transition isn't going as smoothly as I'd hoped | Jan 18 06:04 |
|---|

| DaemonFC | very sad | Jan 18 13:10 |

| schestowitz | kecskebak: yes, there's Novell there too | Jan 18 13:11 |

|---|
| schestowitz | "Lobbying" | Jan 18 13:11 |
|---|
| MinceR | DaemonFC: are you sure this isn't just some m$ tale? :> | Jan 18 13:11 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | MinceR: It used to be basically guaranteed that you would have no driver for your modem or ethernet | Jan 18 13:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: Remember 98 was a time of a MS up swing in usage. | Jan 18 13:11 |
|---|
| MinceR | only if your modem is a winmodem | Jan 18 13:11 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | most were | Jan 18 13:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That lined up with people spending time making tweaking tools. | Jan 18 13:12 |
|---|
| MinceR | back then it was easy to get a real modem | Jan 18 13:12 |
|---|
| MinceR | i still have two :> | Jan 18 13:12 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | unless you wanted to go out and spend in excess of another $100 to get a modem with onboard DSP | Jan 18 13:12 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I was using Linux is my main development OS in 1998 | Jan 18 13:12 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and even then, you better check what kind you can get | Jan 18 13:12 |
|---|
| MinceR | actually back when i got my modem DOS was most common :> | Jan 18 13:12 |
|---|
| MinceR | dos doesn't support winmodems :> | Jan 18 13:13 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Coming for the dos and unix areas Unix was not scary to a lot of people back then. | Jan 18 13:13 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | The first place to come along and offer DSL had no Linux support either | Jan 18 13:13 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they only had these internal PCI DSL modems that had no Linux support at all | Jan 18 13:13 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and it was that or dial up | Jan 18 13:13 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | Windows + DSL or Linux and dial up | Jan 18 13:14 |
|---|
| MinceR | i've never seen ISPs provide anything other than an external modem for DSL over here | Jan 18 13:14 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | *after finding a model it liked | Jan 18 13:14 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That is strange DaemonFC | Jan 18 13:14 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Lot of the 1998 time DSL was simple to get running on Linux. | Jan 18 13:14 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Until around 2002, there was no way you were getting Linux *and* broadband here | Jan 18 13:14 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Mostly caused by .com boom. And lack of budgets for windows. | Jan 18 13:15 |
|---|
| MinceR | DaemonFC: i guess that's just one more way in which jesusland sucks | Jan 18 13:15 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Well, now it's obviously not a problem | Jan 18 13:15 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | you get on the phone and bite someone's fucking head off | Jan 18 13:15 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and they activate the modem | Jan 18 13:15 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and you're online | Jan 18 13:15 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | biting someone's fucking head off is free | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | I can do free | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | :D | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| MinceR | such barbaric circumstances | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| cubezzz | umm | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| MinceR | i never had to bite anyone's head off to activate my internet access | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | MinceR: They're stupid | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| oiaohm | The introduction of winmodems caused a lot of problems. | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| cubezzz | I had to kind of yell at Bell a bit | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| oiaohm | But that was dial up. | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | not just Comcast or AT&T support, most support lines have stupid people on the other end | Jan 18 13:16 |
|---|
| cubezzz | the DSLAM thing wasn't working :) | Jan 18 13:17 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they don't know what you're asking them to do | Jan 18 13:17 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | even when you simplify it as if you were speaking to a 5 year old child | Jan 18 13:17 |
|---|
| cubezzz | then you aren't talking to the right person | Jan 18 13:17 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | you argue with them for 5-10 minutes, get transferred to a supervisor | Jan 18 13:17 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | supervisor doesn't understand, but activates your modem anyway to shut you up | Jan 18 13:18 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | that's the gist of setting up Comcast or AT&T when you can't run their Windows-based activation software | Jan 18 13:18 |
|---|
| cubezzz | I would find an alternative then | Jan 18 13:19 |
|---|
| cubezzz | as I did | Jan 18 13:19 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | doesn't exist | Jan 18 13:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | So you never bought your own modem out right DaemonFC | Jan 18 13:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That mostly avoided that problem. | Jan 18 13:19 |
|---|
| cubezzz | there's always an alternative :) | Jan 18 13:19 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | I could do satellite if I wanted to pay triple and get 1/10th the bandwidth | Jan 18 13:19 |
|---|
| cubezzz | remember my suggestion of getting DSL from a freeenet? | Jan 18 13:20 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | I could do wireless if I wanted to pay about the same but only get 1/8th the bandwidth | Jan 18 13:20 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Ie thrid party modem there software was paper weight so had to provide the information to set modem up manually DaemonFC | Jan 18 13:20 |
|---|
| cubezzz | surely the US has 3rd party DSL providers | Jan 18 13:20 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Lot of times I would just plain out lie. | Jan 18 13:20 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | I've researched my options and believe it or not, most are worse than Comcast or AT&T | Jan 18 13:20 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Just to avoid the front desk idiots. | Jan 18 13:20 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | which is unnerving | Jan 18 13:20 |

| DaemonFC | I've stayed with Comcast mainly cause 12 mbps cable and 100 channels of TV are about the same price as 6 mbps dsl and the mandatory landline telephone | Jan 18 13:22 |
|---|
| cubezzz | I bet comcast doesn't let you run your own server | Jan 18 13:22 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | in other words, Comcast is the least of the evils | Jan 18 13:22 |
|---|
| cubezzz | unless you pay more $$$ of course | Jan 18 13:22 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | cubezzz: You're not supposed to, technically | Jan 18 13:23 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they do things to roadblock you | Jan 18 13:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm | For good reason. | Jan 18 13:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Cable and servers are really not compadible. | Jan 18 13:23 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | like if I've been sustaining my full bandwidth for an hour, they throttle it to half | Jan 18 13:23 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they block ports | Jan 18 13:23 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | that kind of stuff | Jan 18 13:23 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | 250 GB cap | Jan 18 13:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Sharing a cable equals no other option. | Jan 18 13:24 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | if I go over 250 GB a month twice in a row, they can kill my service | Jan 18 13:24 |
|---|
| cubezzz | yeah, I don't use cable at all | Jan 18 13:24 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | I've almost made it to 200 a few times | Jan 18 13:25 |

| cubezzz | I have UHF antenna and DSL | Jan 18 13:25 |

| DaemonFC | never hit the cap though | Jan 18 13:25 |

|---|
| DaemonFC | cubezzz: Yep, one good thing about the ISPs in "Jesus Land" I guess | Jan 18 13:25 |
|---|
| cubezzz | what are you doing, torrenting 24/7? :) | Jan 18 13:25 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | no Rogers "You get 20 GB and then we rip a bunch of money out of your ass" bullshit | Jan 18 13:26 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | among other things | Jan 18 13:26 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | the DOCSIS 2.0 modem I had kept getting overloaded | Jan 18 13:26 |

|---|
| DaemonFC | and crashing | Jan 18 13:26 |
|---|

|---|
| DaemonFC | no, there isn't | Jan 18 13:27 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | enough online bitching about them made me curious enough to look into what they charge | Jan 18 13:27 |

| MinceR | in the case of m$, slow and painful tends to also be painful for the rest of the world | Jan 18 14:11 |

| MinceR | so i'd prefer fast and painful | Jan 18 14:11 |

| MinceR | :> | Jan 18 15:45 |
|---|
| trmanco | schestowitz: yes it just "fell off" | Jan 18 15:45 |
|---|
| MinceR | iirc there was a ctcp flood by botnet | Jan 18 15:45 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | in hour darkest hour, in the worst times of crisis, when human suffering can't even be gauged...... | Jan 18 15:46 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | always count on an evangelical Christian moron to come say something insensitive and retarded | Jan 18 15:46 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | ...and get over-reported | Jan 18 15:46 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | why do they even get airplay :/ | Jan 18 15:47 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: They own their own network and pay the cable and satellite companies to carry them | Jan 18 15:47 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | but at least Robertson illuminated his mindset very clearly. explains a lot. | Jan 18 15:47 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they can't be fired no matter how ridiculous they are | Jan 18 15:47 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | there are no "natural disasters", in his view. | Jan 18 15:47 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | he defines God in his own image. | Jan 18 15:47 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | God is his avatar | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: It's always something pissed off God | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | so he killed 100,000 people | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | "I hate blacks... therefore God punishes them as I wish." | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | old testament God | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | "Whatever-I-want-God-to-be God." | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | the evangelicals get their rocks off by worshipping the old testament God | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | no, it's not old testament God. | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | it's "God in My Image." | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| schestowitz | trmanco: it said "Excess Flood" | Jan 18 15:48 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Pat Robertson is a Christian ? | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: he's not using the text. He's defining God as "what I want him to be". | Jan 18 15:49 |

| MinceR | 164521 < FurnaceBoy> why do they even get airplay :/ | Jan 18 15:49 |

| MinceR | welcome to jesusland | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: Old Testament God sent the excess flood | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | MinceR: right. | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | to punish the IRC wicked | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| MinceR | controlled by nutjobs like those | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | [15:45] <MinceR> iirc there was a ctcp flood by botnet | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Ah, I see.... | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: Whips up his fanatical followers | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: but importantly: No "natural" disasters. For Robertson there is no Nature at all, in fact. | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | gets them to send in money | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Some people believe them | Jan 18 15:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's the scary part | Jan 18 15:50 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | gives him a sexual rush that he can control people by angering them | Jan 18 15:50 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and directing their anger | Jan 18 15:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They tell family and colleagues that Obama is Marxist, that gays caused 9/11, and Haiti got punished by the FSM | Jan 18 15:50 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: I know how it works. I prefer to use his statement to help reveal his world, and how people like him fuck up our world. | Jan 18 15:50 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: in this sense, I found it very helpful. | Jan 18 15:50 |
|---|
| MinceR | they don't believe in the FSM | Jan 18 15:50 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: Christians just define God in whatever way is convenient personally. | Jan 18 15:50 |
|---|
| MinceR | they believe in YHWH instead | Jan 18 15:51 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: I should go apologize to all the 9/11 survivors and widows and widowers and orphans | Jan 18 15:51 |
|---|
| schestowitz | YHWH? | Jan 18 15:51 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: God mimics his own prejudices and preferences. | Jan 18 15:51 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | God did all that to them cause of me, you see | Jan 18 15:51 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: tetragrammaton | Jan 18 15:51 |

|---|
| Eruaran | *Apostles | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| MinceR | iirc the vowels in "Yahweh" are a speculation | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: I guess that was Stewart's point | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| MinceR | nobody really knows what the vowels really are because they were forbidden to write down | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | MinceR: transliteration, i would think. there would be a standard one for Hebrew? | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "unutterable" LOL | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: serious :) | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I have a weapon of suicide right there in my vocal chords | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: who cannot be named, blah blah blah | Jan 18 15:52 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | God killing other people because he hates me, including no doubt lots of his own followers.... | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I think it's the same for Muslims | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| MinceR | FurnaceBoy: iirc the standard characters are consonants only, there's an extra notation for vowels but they wrote the vowels of "Adonai" instead, which was supposed to be said instead. | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| Eruaran | "unutterable" is like an M. Night Shyamalan thing | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | seems like a hell of a strategic strike | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| Eruaran | "those of whom we do not speak" | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | doesn't it? | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Monty Python scene comes to mind | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: it's an irrational belief, what more do you want? :) | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: you can leave it there | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| MinceR | FurnaceBoy: so it's like those mesopotamian languages where we don't really know what the vowels in names like "Nebuchadnezzar" were, we can only guess | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| kecskebak | Reminds me of the old ladies who say "the doughnut in granny's greenhouse" instead of the toilet | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: what his name? | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "open Sesame"? | Jan 18 15:53 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: what's more interesting is how the seeds of this belief also produce all other kinds of destructive behaviour by believers. | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | does the cave have voice recognition? | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| MinceR | lol | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| Eruaran | I'm irrational | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: What I love is when the evangelical fucktards like Robertson make predictions and assign a date only 3-4 years in the future | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | And how nice is it to know that your voice and thought is recorded? | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: but you probably make an effort. | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | it comes and passes and their prediction is proven false | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | but nobody questions them | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: christians don't have to, as they have defined "irrationality" as necessary to their identity | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I mean, were I to believe in ghosts/God/goblins, I'd assume I'm eavesdropped in the shower | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Imagine that | Jan 18 15:54 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: well, i dunnno, could be several out of Holy Grail | Jan 18 15:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | People worry about their mere thoughts, tormented they could be fried ad infinitum in Hell | Jan 18 15:55 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: imagine the implications when you eliminate Nature from your understanding and substitute a God in your image. | Jan 18 15:55 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they always have an answer prepared if anyone does ask why all their predictions are wrong | Jan 18 15:55 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | "God changed his mind and spared us" | Jan 18 15:55 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: you get perversities like Bush ... holy war.. on the environment and infidels. | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| Eruaran | ah the Bible says something about that | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: sure, but this is shamanism 101 | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | well, Christians also tell you that God never changes his mind | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Obama is not superstitious | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: try to go for the second order effects | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But in videos he pretends | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The community he stood for is very supertitious | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| Eruaran | It's along the lines of, if they prophecy something and it doesn't happen, don't listen to the bastards | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: follow @BibleAlsoSays | Jan 18 15:56 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: eh? | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They actually do political debate over "who's more black" and "who's a better believer" | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| Eruaran | yer | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: how does that work? | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| Eruaran | uhmm | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: you pick the 'most reliable' religion based on stats? | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: it's not sports. | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| Eruaran | I got an example | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Benny Hinn | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| Eruaran | "Jesus will appear physically on this stage" | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| cubezzz | so what happened? :) | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | you can never lose if you keep moving the goalpost back faster than anyone can run after it | Jan 18 15:57 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Nothing | Jan 18 15:58 |
|---|
| cubezzz | ah bummer | Jan 18 15:58 |
|---|
| Eruaran | He made a lot of money though | Jan 18 15:58 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | that's what evangelical hate-mongering preachers thrive on | Jan 18 15:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: maybe they can add a corrigenda to the bible | Jan 18 15:58 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | yes, of course, can't we get past the stagecraft and basic charismatic crap? | Jan 18 15:58 |
|---|
| cubezzz | I like to think that thoughts = 5% of reality | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | what's more interesting is how this irrationality produces things like Bush/Boykin's holy war, but in particular Robertson's comments illuminated for me how Christians feel it's okay to destroy everything natural | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| cubezzz | but not 100% :) | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Bush is a Christian ? | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: the usual kind | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| Eruaran | I thought he was a Skull and Bones man | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| cubezzz | it's kind of like if you think you are happy, you're happy | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: it's politically useful, plus he thinks he is a christian | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| MinceR | are those mutually exclusive? | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| cubezzz | if you think you're getting sick, you probably will get sick | Jan 18 15:59 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: in reality he is a stupid little alcoholic man, who should die in prison | Jan 18 16:00 |
|---|
| Eruaran | heh | Jan 18 16:00 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | That's why Wine will never be completely finished, it's why nobody will ever prove religion to be false, it's why you'll never finish paying off your debts | Jan 18 16:00 |
|---|
| Eruaran | debts ? | Jan 18 16:00 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | the rules say the bad guys can move the goal post back further than you can run after it | Jan 18 16:00 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: we don't even need to prove it false. we have proven it is destructive. | Jan 18 16:00 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: as did the French. Enlightenment, and all that. | Jan 18 16:00 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Human beings are destructive | Jan 18 16:00 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: yes, but we can make an effort, can't we? | Jan 18 16:01 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Lord Of The Flies, The Mist | Jan 18 16:01 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: of course we're all flawed and irrational. | Jan 18 16:01 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Basically insane | Jan 18 16:01 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: doesn't mean we just go around killing people we don't like, as Christians do | Jan 18 16:01 |
|---|
| Eruaran | they do ? | Jan 18 16:01 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: it's all about trying not to live up to the worst in our nature | Jan 18 16:01 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | yeah, there's people with psychopathic destructive tendencies, they're the ones that get pulled into religious fundamentalism | Jan 18 16:01 |
|---|
| cubezzz | no, it's more like sanity isn't permanent :) | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they use their religion to beat people up with | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and it makes them feel good | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| Eruaran | So like, banning Christians from air travel lest they get out some box cutters ? | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: why not? | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: check your history | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Which century ? | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | any | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| Eruaran | 20th ? | Jan 18 16:02 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | Cause you'll never get away with inconveniencing a group that makes up 80% of the US population | Jan 18 16:03 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | sure | Jan 18 16:03 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | as sickening as that is | Jan 18 16:03 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Bad choice | Jan 18 16:03 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: google Boykin Iraq | Jan 18 16:03 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: or for that matter, find Rumsfelds daily briefing slides to Bush | Jan 18 16:03 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: they're mostly pictures, for obvious reasons | Jan 18 16:03 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | and if you want to be very afraid, they're 80% only because they've gone down in the last 20 years | Jan 18 16:03 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | they were like 90% | Jan 18 16:04 |
|---|
| Eruaran | If I said I followed Gandhi's teachings | Jan 18 16:04 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | the churches have noticed the reduced profitability | Jan 18 16:04 |
|---|
| cubezzz | shouldn't the president be this really smart and competent person? | Jan 18 16:04 |
|---|
| cubezzz | I'm just saying ... :) | Jan 18 16:04 |
|---|
| FurnaceBoy | cubezzz: the president is just a spokesman | Jan 18 16:04 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | the Catholics are closing churches in unprofitable areas | Jan 18 16:04 |
|---|
| Eruaran | And then tortured people and did unspeakable things | Jan 18 16:04 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Would you believe I followed Gandhi ? | Jan 18 16:05 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | just like a business scuttling under performing locations | Jan 18 16:05 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | you'd think the property value of the neighborhoods in downtown Detroit would be going up | Jan 18 16:06 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | the churches are closing and being converted into crack dens | Jan 18 16:06 |
|---|
| DaemonFC | :D | Jan 18 16:06 |
|---|
| cubezzz | yeah, that doesn't really sound like an improvement | Jan 18 16:07 |
|---|
