DaemonFC | MinceR: except that my TV has a resolution of 1366 x 768, so the image will either be upscaled or downscaled anyway | May 15 19:39 |
MinceR | DaemonFC: then your tv sucks | May 15 19:39 |
schestowitz | "If your screen refreshes at 85Hz and your game runs at 50Hz (=50fps): Are you sure that you don't need to synchronize them? Are you sure, you don't need to play with a multiple of 85 to enjoy synchronized refresh updates? So the game running at 85fps may better than at 100fps. Maybe even a TFT display was better. It displays only with about 40fps but progressively." | May 15 19:39 |
MinceR | it's not 1080p that sucks, it's your tv | May 15 19:39 |
schestowitz | Ah, that's another thing | May 15 19:39 |
DaemonFC | it was $248, and it's a good TV for $248 | May 15 19:40 |

MinceR | DaemonFC: so your point is "waaah, 1080p sucks because i can't afford it"? | May 15 19:40 |
schestowitz | In front of the crt I see my hand discretely | May 15 19:40 |
schestowitz | LCD is smooth | May 15 19:40 |
DaemonFC | no, I was saying that in my case, I should probably keep the box at 1080i | May 15 19:41 |
schestowitz | No, you were's saying that | May 15 19:41 |
schestowitz | You generalised to all sets | May 15 19:41 |
DaemonFC | that way the TV will downscale the higher resolution instead of the box doing it so that they TV can upscale it again anyway | May 15 19:41 |
DaemonFC | I can either start at 1920 x 1080 and have the TV deinterlace and downscale it to 1366 x 768 OR I can start with 1920 x 1080, have the box deinterlace and and downscale it to 1280 x 720 so that the TV can upscale it again to 1366 x 768 | May 15 19:42 |
DaemonFC | at least, that's my take on the situation | May 15 19:43 |
DaemonFC | better to just feed it 1080i | May 15 19:43 |
DaemonFC | the only thing coming in through the box at 1080p to begin with is if I ordered a movie on On Demand | May 15 19:44 |
DaemonFC | so On Demand or Blu Ray is the only time I'd get a 1080p source anyway | May 15 19:44 |
DaemonFC | no regular channels use it | May 15 19:44 |
DaemonFC | they're all 1080i (movie channels) or 720p (sports channels) | May 15 19:45 |

schestowitz | DaemonFC: don't watch TV, you watch rubbish channels like FAUX anyway | May 15 19:45 |

schestowitz | We have good models for propbability | May 15 20:15 |
schestowitz | Gauss, Bayes, etc. | May 15 20:16 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, so can a probability invoke itself? | May 15 20:16 |
schestowitz | People need to be taught that at schools | May 15 20:16 |
schestowitz | A lot of science is based on statistics | May 15 20:16 |
_goblin | but then if you think about it, probability is no more than yes or no, it will or it won't. | May 15 20:16 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, I have learned about probability in both school and college. | May 15 20:16 |
schestowitz | With error bars and all, double-blinded tests, error analysis (std) to reach something publishable, replicable, testable | May 15 20:16 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, Can a probability invoke itself? | May 15 20:17 |
schestowitz | _goblin: it gets more complex at sub molecular level | May 15 20:17 |
schestowitz | But for structure we can see the probabilities are well understood | May 15 20:17 |
schestowitz | They always behave as you would expect them too | May 15 20:17 |

Omar87 | schestowitz, I mean for as simple as the coin example we've been taught at school, can it a coin give us a head (or a tail) by itself? | May 15 20:21 |

Omar87 | correction: [omit the "it"] | May 15 20:21 |

Omar87 | So, do you agree with me that probability is only a result of an event? | May 15 20:28 |
schestowitz | Another is, how high is it tossed, on what surface what side, etc | May 15 20:28 |

Omar87 | schestowitz, so again, can you please explain to me how could probability create all these amazingly complex things out of its own? | May 15 20:39 |
schestowitz | It's not probability | May 15 20:39 |
schestowitz | It's natural selection | May 15 20:39 |
schestowitz | It's not like building a 747 | May 15 20:39 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, But how did natural selection invoke itself? | May 15 20:39 |
schestowitz | It's more like building many, making small changes, choosing the changes that propaganda best | May 15 20:39 |

schestowitz | Evidence is extensive enough to substatiate it and we can still collect DNA from his grave, with soft issue | May 15 20:52 |

schestowitz | Then compare that to his descendants' DNA | May 15 20:52 |

Omar87 | schestowitz, and he also explains how these species evolve and continue to exist. "Nature Selection" = "Survival of fittest" | May 15 21:05 |

MinceR | agnostic | May 15 22:03 |
schestowitz | Not what are you NOT? | May 15 22:03 |
ThistleWeb | I stopped believing in fairytales a LONG time ago | May 15 22:03 |
MinceR | though i'm pretty sure _his_ god doesn't exist, at least not in the way he believes so | May 15 22:03 |
schestowitz | MinceR: still an A word | May 15 22:03 |

MinceR | lol | May 15 22:04 |
schestowitz | Some scientists call "God" random chance and other stuff... just metaphors | May 15 22:04 |
ThistleWeb | then getting to my line with a "couldnt you lot at least have picked a team?" | May 15 22:04 |
schestowitz | A game of words really | May 15 22:04 |
schestowitz | ThistleWeb: Pascals's Wager | May 15 22:05 |
schestowitz | 1) if you're wrong, you go to Hell | May 15 22:05 |
schestowitz | 2) if you're right, you go to Heaven | May 15 22:05 |
ThistleWeb | wrong team, go to hell | May 15 22:05 |
MinceR | pascal's wager doesn't work, because you can't _believe_ based on a speculation | May 15 22:05 |
schestowitz | special bonus: [3) if "atheism" is right, you go to Heaven and religious folks go 'downstairs') | May 15 22:05 |
schestowitz | That's the secret 'track' | May 15 22:06 |
ThistleWeb | personally I've covering my ass, and making sure my coffin is packed with marshmallows, like packing styrophome | May 15 22:06 |
MinceR | atheism doesn't work that way either :> | May 15 22:06 |
ThistleWeb | if I'm going to a hot place, I'm making the best of it | May 15 22:06 |
MinceR | lol | May 15 22:06 |
MinceR | your coffin isn't going though :> | May 15 22:06 |
ThistleWeb | it should also be a good reading light | May 15 22:07 |
schestowitz | ThistleWeb: yes, some return to life and scratch their coffin | May 15 22:07 |
MinceR | lol | May 15 22:07 |
ThistleWeb | I don't need the coffin, just the marshmallows | May 15 22:07 |
schestowitz | If you have such a comeback, you'll chew yummy stuff till you run out of air | May 15 22:07 |
ThistleWeb | and maybe a good book | May 15 22:07 |

ThistleWeb | rofl | May 15 22:07 |

MinceR | there's an easier way | May 15 22:07 |
schestowitz | No time for scratching, so many YUMMIES! :-) | May 15 22:07 |
MinceR | believe that you'll go to the place _you_ want to, with all the marshmallows you want | May 15 22:07 |
schestowitz | And 73 virgins.. made of marshmallow | May 15 22:08 |
ThistleWeb | seriously, I love it when peeps tell me I'm going to hell | May 15 22:08 |
MinceR | lol | May 15 22:08 |
ThistleWeb | my point is that the earth has been well mapped, yet hell does not appear on Googlemaps | May 15 22:08 |
schestowitz | ThistleWeb: to hell with them | May 15 22:08 |
ThistleWeb | why not | May 15 22:08 |
MinceR | lol | May 15 22:09 |
MinceR | i'll go to the Outer Plane that corresponds to my alignment ;) | May 15 22:09 |

schestowitz | Cheaper | May 15 22:10 |
schestowitz | Leaves more for the loved one | May 15 22:10 |
schestowitz | Why bury people in suits? | May 15 22:10 |
schestowitz | I mean, with golden bottons and all | May 15 22:10 |
MinceR | makes for better business :> | May 15 22:10 |
schestowitz | It's such a waste for the sake of the ceremony | May 15 22:10 |
MinceR | also, they probably believe that clown suit makes them look dignified | May 15 22:10 |
*MinceR hates suits | May 15 22:10 | |
schestowitz | They could at least take the valuables out after the funeral | May 15 22:10 |
MinceR | the entire ceremony is a waste anyway | May 15 22:11 |
ThistleWeb | makes you look suave in the afterlife, which helps you get some zombie pussy | May 15 22:11 |
MinceR | lol | May 15 22:11 |
schestowitz | I mean, he families would never dig to verify, send the family the items by post | May 15 22:11 |
MinceR | don't they say that the _soul_ goes there, not the body? | May 15 22:11 |
MinceR | exhuming still reveals bodies and all | May 15 22:11 |
ThistleWeb | I did think about creating a speshul Easter nick, ZombieJesus | May 15 22:11 |
schestowitz | Say "it came back from the sky... oh, and he said "he loved his funeral very, very much"" | May 15 22:11 |
MinceR | so putting any sort of stuff _around_ the body will not affect anything | May 15 22:11 |
schestowitz | [22:11] <MinceR> don't they say that the _soul_ goes there, not the body? | May 15 22:12 |
schestowitz | That would suck | May 15 22:12 |
ThistleWeb | the sole goes on the bottom of the foot | May 15 22:12 |
schestowitz | Seeing your corpse 'down there' being digested by microorganism | May 15 22:12 |
MinceR | yet we can still find bodies (or remains thereof) in cemeteries | May 15 22:12 |
schestowitz | That's not my idea of "Heaven" | May 15 22:12 |
MinceR | schestowitz: the material it's made of will be reused by nature, even if we make it more difficult to happen :> | May 15 22:12 |
schestowitz | How about burial of Pharaohs? | May 15 22:13 |
schestowitz | Those ancient people got better burials than our generation of geeks | May 15 22:13 |
ThistleWeb | I find the legal system odd "swear on the bible to tell the truth blah blah" "sure, but for all the good it does me, it may as well be Noddy Does Dallas" | May 15 22:13 |
schestowitz | I mean, they become celebrities even 5 millennia later. That's bloody awesome | May 15 22:13 |
schestowitz | ThistleWeb: it's like polygraph | May 15 22:14 |
schestowitz | It fails the test if you don't believe it | May 15 22:14 |
schestowitz | polygraph is hyped up | May 15 22:14 |
schestowitz | it creates fear | May 15 22:14 |
ThistleWeb | yeah, the idea is that god's wathcing and will punish you f you lie | May 15 22:14 |
schestowitz | They tell you it definitely works, so you get nevous | May 15 22:14 |
ThistleWeb | if there is no god, there is no watching and no fear | May 15 22:14 |
schestowitz | In the court of law, those tests are not invalid | May 15 22:14 |
ThistleWeb | so it's as effective as any other book | May 15 22:14 |
schestowitz | But like torture they can make the suspect break down and make admission | May 15 22:15 |

schestowitz | DaemonFC: you got student discounts on Vista 7 and stuff..? | May 15 23:10 |
DaemonFC | Walmart does hire managers with management degrees, but they prefer to promote from within | May 15 23:10 |
DaemonFC | they can pay you less that way :) | May 15 23:10 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: Yes, from the school I attend | May 15 23:10 |
DaemonFC | in China | May 15 23:10 |
DaemonFC | ;) | May 15 23:10 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: I got ahold of a school administrator's Dreamspark account and got on Dreamspark from behind a Chinese proxy server | May 15 23:11 |
DaemonFC | signed up for my Dreamspark account and product licenses from there :D | May 15 23:11 |
DaemonFC | the accounts only last for a year, but any serials you generate in that time remain valid | May 15 23:12 |
DaemonFC | and they'll reactivate even after your student account expires | May 15 23:13 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft makes it ridiculously easy to do this kind of stuff | May 15 23:13 |
DaemonFC | they make it just hard enough so that anyone willing to go pay them will | May 15 23:13 |
DaemonFC | and anyone who won't, will take a free copy and not use competing software | May 15 23:14 |
schestowitz | Report it to them | May 15 23:14 |
schestowitz | They'll make you MVP again | May 15 23:14 |
DaemonFC | they know it's going on | May 15 23:14 |
DaemonFC | they leak these things on purpose | May 15 23:14 |
DaemonFC | that's probably not even a real administrator's account | May 15 23:14 |
DaemonFC | they probably made it up to create a backdoor for people to get free copies of Windows and Office | May 15 23:15 |
DaemonFC | gives them deniability | May 15 23:15 |
DaemonFC | lets them continue blasting "software pirates" while they leak their own stuff | May 15 23:15 |
DaemonFC | and with their software activation system, they can turn every copy they leaked out off, at once, if they ever decide to | May 15 23:16 |
MinceR | companies can't afford to get licenses that way, though | May 15 23:16 |
DaemonFC | right, bigger target | May 15 23:16 |
DaemonFC | and Microsoft doesn't want to let them | May 15 23:17 |
MinceR | so FLOSS is still the cheapest way for them | May 15 23:17 |
DaemonFC | those are the juiciest customers | May 15 23:17 |
MinceR | not just that | May 15 23:17 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft won't give them an inch | May 15 23:17 |
MinceR | also it's probably a lot of hassle to do this legwork for each workstation | May 15 23:17 |
DaemonFC | yeah, cause the Dreamspark serials are VLK x 1 | May 15 23:17 |
MinceR | (and it's easier to detect) | May 15 23:17 |
DaemonFC | each serial only ever activates one PC | May 15 23:17 |
DaemonFC | it's almost like OEM | May 15 23:17 |
DaemonFC | if your hardware ever changes enough to piss it off, it will never reactivate | May 15 23:18 |
DaemonFC | I think the rule is 3 changes within a month | May 15 23:18 |
DaemonFC | or different motherboard model | May 15 23:18 |
DaemonFC | and it will make you reactivate | May 15 23:19 |
DaemonFC | motherboard always triggers it right away | May 15 23:19 |
DaemonFC | but changing installed RAM, a hard disk, and your video card within a rolling 30 day period will also freak it out | May 15 23:19 |
DaemonFC | so if I changed the installed RAM and hard disk today, I need to wait 31 days before changing the GPU out | May 15 23:20 |
DaemonFC | or else Windows will freak out on me :P | May 15 23:20 |
schestowitz | antifeaturesl yay | May 15 23:21 |
DaemonFC | sometimes if you have an OEM serial, you can beg Microsoft to reactivate it on a new motherboard if you tell them your motherboard failed | May 15 23:21 |
DaemonFC | but they never do that for VLK, cause individual are never supposed to have those | May 15 23:22 |
MinceR | begging must feel great | May 15 23:22 |
DaemonFC | yeah, especially for something you already paid for | May 15 23:22 |
DaemonFC | when you're not even trying to do anything wrong | May 15 23:22 |
MinceR | realizing that you're completely at the mercy of a company | May 15 23:22 |
schestowitz | So basically the trick is, blame your mother.... board | May 15 23:22 |
