prurigro | DaemonFC: its funny though, because apple got their idea for the ipad directly from microsoft | Nov 17 02:14 |
prurigro | apple's feat was knowing how to implement it in a ways that attracted the general market | Nov 17 02:14 |
DaemonFC | "The findings said 56 percent of adults continue to prefer private insurance versus 39 percent who would favor a government-run system. That compares with a 61 percent to 34 percent margin a year ago." | Nov 17 02:16 |
DaemonFC | makes me wonder who they polled | Nov 17 02:16 |
DaemonFC | and if they had ever gotten sick and fought an insurance company | Nov 17 02:16 |
prurigro | lol | Nov 17 02:17 |
prurigro | I think a big problem is that people think they already have it | Nov 17 02:17 |
prurigro | despite the fact that the republicans crippled the idea from its very core | Nov 17 02:18 |
DaemonFC | ok, they probably polled rich people who have good insurance | Nov 17 02:18 |
prurigro | what obama was able to get out there is going to suck in a lot of situations | Nov 17 02:18 |
DaemonFC | the kind of insurance that most people can't buy even if they wanted to | Nov 17 02:18 |
prurigro | and people are goiong to blame that on having public insurance | Nov 17 02:18 |
DaemonFC | what needs to be done is this | Nov 17 02:19 |
DaemonFC | outlaw for-profit health insurance | Nov 17 02:19 |
DaemonFC | round up the former executives and upper management of those companies | Nov 17 02:19 |
DaemonFC | load them into a rocket | Nov 17 02:19 |
DaemonFC | and fire them into the Sun | Nov 17 02:19 |
prurigro | lol | Nov 17 02:20 |
prurigro | its too late for them *sniff* | Nov 17 02:20 |
prurigro | yea tho | Nov 17 02:20 |
prurigro | honestly | Nov 17 02:20 |
DaemonFC | load up all the people who claimed that for-profit insurance was a good thing | Nov 17 02:20 |
DaemonFC | load them into a rocket | Nov 17 02:20 |
DaemonFC | fire it into the Sun | Nov 17 02:20 |
DaemonFC | chances are we lose a lot of stupid or really corrupt people | Nov 17 02:20 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 02:20 |
DaemonFC | we'll manage | Nov 17 02:20 |
prurigro | everyone from the states who disagrees with public insurance says I can't say I know for sure that its good, despite living in canada | Nov 17 02:20 |
prurigro | but its actually spectacular | Nov 17 02:21 |
prurigro | and lol yea, lets just get rid of all the MBAs and CEOs in general | Nov 17 02:21 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't know, I've only been covered for my whole life and never had to argue about who is paying | Nov 17 02:21 |
DaemonFC | :P | Nov 17 02:21 |
DaemonFC | say that to the next one | Nov 17 02:21 |
prurigro | hrm? | Nov 17 02:22 |
DaemonFC | the insurance companies drop you if you can't pay | Nov 17 02:22 |
prurigro | oh haha | Nov 17 02:22 |
DaemonFC | and they drop the ones that pay them as soon as they do get sick | Nov 17 02:22 |
prurigro | well yea, but I mean, the biggest argument seems to be to those who are like you | Nov 17 02:22 |
prurigro | saying that because you have insurance and can pay, you're getting better service overall than I might in canada | Nov 17 02:23 |
prurigro | yet, from everyone I've talked to, it seems like the standard of care is actually worse despite paying | Nov 17 02:23 |
*cubezzz has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Nov 17 02:24 | |
prurigro | that's not to say I've seen the whole picture of course | Nov 17 02:24 |
DaemonFC | I'm not using for-profit insurance | Nov 17 02:24 |
DaemonFC | I get a bandaid and a $10,000 hospital bill | Nov 17 02:25 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Nov 17 02:25 |
DaemonFC | hooray | Nov 17 02:25 |
DaemonFC | they claim their inflated prices are due to people that aren't insured | Nov 17 02:25 |
DaemonFC | then if you are insured, they lower the price they charge to the insurance company by about half | Nov 17 02:26 |
prurigro | oh word | Nov 17 02:26 |
prurigro | that's bizarre haha | Nov 17 02:26 |
DaemonFC | the insurance company is big enough to threaten to remove a hospital from their network | Nov 17 02:26 |
DaemonFC | and send their customers elsewhere | Nov 17 02:26 |
DaemonFC | so they get better pricing :) | Nov 17 02:27 |
prurigro | so like everything else, the companies get priority over living people | Nov 17 02:27 |
DaemonFC | if your bill without insurance is $10,000 | Nov 17 02:27 |
DaemonFC | they would charge a typical insurance company $5,000-$6,000 for the same treatment | Nov 17 02:27 |
DaemonFC | but the kicker is | Nov 17 02:27 |
DaemonFC | they send you a bill for $10,000 | Nov 17 02:27 |
DaemonFC | then claim they really billed you $11,000 but took $1,000 off to be charitable | Nov 17 02:28 |
DaemonFC | :D | Nov 17 02:28 |
DaemonFC | have to give them a discount of negative $4,000 | Nov 17 02:30 |
DaemonFC | I mean, they're uninsured! | Nov 17 02:30 |
DaemonFC | ;) | Nov 17 02:30 |
DaemonFC | you can't be a total bastard | Nov 17 02:30 |
B`rendan | go steal their hummers | Nov 17 02:30 |
DaemonFC | you charge them $4,000 more than you would an insurance company | Nov 17 02:30 |
DaemonFC | and claim it's a discount for being uninsured | Nov 17 02:30 |
DaemonFC | B`rendan: I was thinking more like rip off their head and shit down their neck | Nov 17 02:32 |
DaemonFC | because they are criminals | Nov 17 02:32 |
DaemonFC | and they deserve less than that | Nov 17 02:33 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 02:33 |
B`rendan | yeah, but i worry about how most people have chat logs | Nov 17 02:33 |
B`rendan | :) | Nov 17 02:33 |
DaemonFC | oh fuck chat logs | Nov 17 02:33 |
DaemonFC | I'll tell them the same thing to their face | Nov 17 02:33 |
DaemonFC | they think they scare me with things like "Final Notice" | Nov 17 02:33 |
DaemonFC | I sent one of them back a letter that said thanks for the final notice | Nov 17 02:34 |
B`rendan | and they'll laugh and say ` look at this drugged up tosser, he probably needs medical insurance' | Nov 17 02:34 |
DaemonFC | so this means I won't be getting any more trash bag filler from you? | Nov 17 02:34 |
B`rendan | showing them who's boss :P | Nov 17 02:35 |
prurigro | holy shit, 10k is ridiculous for anything | Nov 17 02:35 |
prurigro | my friend had a tumour in canada, got airlifted for brain surgury the next day | Nov 17 02:35 |

B`rendan | nice english, who ever wrote that gnome message | Nov 17 03:18 |
B`rendan | the philosophy of it? | Nov 17 03:19 |
prurigro | LightDM | Nov 17 03:19 |
B`rendan | yeah, whats its philosophy? | Nov 17 03:20 |
prurigro | a common framework, rather than reinventing the wheel each time | Nov 17 03:20 |
prurigro | which unlike a DE in other respects, seems to be pretty consistent all around | Nov 17 03:20 |
B`rendan | right | Nov 17 03:21 |
B`rendan | i dont even use a login manager, cant work out how it would be useful | Nov 17 03:21 |
prurigro | I used to run without | Nov 17 03:21 |
prurigro | but then if you wanna exit X | Nov 17 03:22 |
prurigro | and start it backup | Nov 17 03:22 |
prurigro | you're running via vterm | Nov 17 03:22 |
prurigro | which means any security I setup on my desktop is essentially null and void unless I kill vterms | Nov 17 03:22 |
prurigro | but then I can't fix things when they go wrong as easily | Nov 17 03:23 |
prurigro | anyway :) | Nov 17 03:23 |
B`rendan | no idea what this is all about | Nov 17 03:23 |
prurigro | whether or not to use a login manager | Nov 17 03:24 |
prurigro | + why I now do | Nov 17 03:24 |
B`rendan | i know that much, but how does it break security and such | Nov 17 03:24 |
prurigro | well on first boot, you have your startup script init x | Nov 17 03:24 |
prurigro | so that's all good | Nov 17 03:24 |
prurigro | but say you need to restart x because you updated your graphic driver or something | Nov 17 03:24 |
prurigro | you're gonna have to reinit through a vterm | Nov 17 03:25 |
B`rendan | isnnt there cntrl alt backspace or something? | Nov 17 03:25 |
prurigro | which you can then get back out to and access direct shell | Nov 17 03:25 |
prurigro | ctrl-alt-backspace, if you haven't disabled it just kills x | Nov 17 03:25 |
prurigro | doesn't reinit | Nov 17 03:25 |
prurigro | unless you have a login manager | Nov 17 03:26 |
prurigro | (tho its your login manager re-initiating, not X) | Nov 17 03:26 |
cubezzz | just run startx as a user | Nov 17 03:26 |
B`rendan | whats wrong with being at the shell? | Nov 17 03:26 |
prurigro | well say you've disabled access to a shell for a while so you can let others use your computer in a little sandbox you've allowed them to | Nov 17 03:28 |
prurigro | I suppose you could just create other users for them, tho that involves additional setup and maintenance I'm personally too lazy for | Nov 17 03:28 |
B`rendan | never done that before | Nov 17 03:28 |

DaemonFC | if it detects you have an x86-64 CPU | Nov 17 10:04 |
DaemonFC | that's also how Apple and SCOracle Solaris handle x86-64 | Nov 17 10:04 |
schestowitz | what is a 64-bi CPU anyway? It's improper terms, IMHO. | Nov 17 10:04 |
DaemonFC | pretty much all of userland is 32-bit on OS X | Nov 17 10:04 |
schestowitz | The pipeline can be used for 32 bit streams | Nov 17 10:04 |
DaemonFC | at least the last time I looked | Nov 17 10:05 |
schestowitz | it's more like 64-bit-ready board | Nov 17 10:05 |
schestowitz | with wider MMUs and stuff | Nov 17 10:05 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: x86-64 is a strict superset of x86-32 | Nov 17 10:05 |
DaemonFC | it is 100% compatible | Nov 17 10:05 |
schestowitz | I designed some 16-bit procesors when I was 19.. | Nov 17 10:05 |
schestowitz | later I wrote a debugger for those | Nov 17 10:06 |
B`rendan | really? | Nov 17 10:06 |
schestowitz | Nothing too advanced | Nov 17 10:06 |
B`rendan | how does one go about designing a cpu | Nov 17 10:06 |
schestowitz | Just based maths | Nov 17 10:06 |
schestowitz | *basic | Nov 17 10:06 |
schestowitz | with few registers | Nov 17 10:06 |
schestowitz | from gate level | Nov 17 10:06 |
schestowitz | on a programmable xilinx board | Nov 17 10:06 |
DaemonFC | I learned 8-bit assembler for the Intel 8080 | Nov 17 10:06 |
schestowitz | what programs did you write for it? | Nov 17 10:07 |
schestowitz | The most I did was bubble sort (in assembly/ARM) | Nov 17 10:07 |
B`rendan | very nice | Nov 17 10:07 |
schestowitz | IIRC it had just 4 or 8 register | Nov 17 10:07 |
schestowitz | registers | Nov 17 10:07 |
DaemonFC | there were some test exercises that came with the micro professor board's manual | Nov 17 10:08 |
DaemonFC | I got that far | Nov 17 10:08 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 10:08 |
schestowitz | I remember that computer hardware courses I ffinished in just two weeks rather than a whole semester.. cause I found it addictive | Nov 17 10:08 |
DaemonFC | I learned it well enough to hate it and never actually use it for anything | Nov 17 10:08 |
DaemonFC | and back to BASIC | Nov 17 10:08 |
DaemonFC | :P | Nov 17 10:09 |
schestowitz | later I got a job in Furber's group this way | Nov 17 10:09 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: Bill's BASIC? | Nov 17 10:09 |
schestowitz | :-) | Nov 17 10:09 |
schestowitz | Remember the revisoonism | Nov 17 10:09 |
schestowitz | Like Microsoft inventing or popularising BASIC | Nov 17 10:09 |
schestowitz | I think it was Kemenny and another academic | Nov 17 10:09 |
schestowitz | Microsoft: we are good..... at rewriting history | Nov 17 10:09 |
schestowitz | Apple is good at lying too | Nov 17 10:10 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: BASIC as in Apple BASIC, Commodore's BASIC | Nov 17 10:10 |
schestowitz | Let's see Jobs' background in computers | Nov 17 10:10 |
DaemonFC | and Borland's Turbo BASIC | Nov 17 10:10 |
DaemonFC | which was my favorite | Nov 17 10:10 |
schestowitz | On second thought, no... | Nov 17 10:10 |
schestowitz | It'll be SEOd to death by warped bios | Nov 17 10:10 |
B`rendan | i wish i knew about all these things | Nov 17 10:10 |
DaemonFC | FreeBASIC supports Turbo BASIC features | Nov 17 10:11 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: did you use turbo pascal? | Nov 17 10:11 |
schestowitz | I think it was my first dev env | Nov 17 10:11 |
schestowitz | Unless you count DOS scripting (not MSDOS) | Nov 17 10:11 |
DaemonFC | Turbo Pascal was what the Gold Box Engine was written in | Nov 17 10:11 |
DaemonFC | no, I never used it, but I've seen what could be done with it | Nov 17 10:11 |
DaemonFC | which was pretty impressive at the time | Nov 17 10:12 |
schestowitz | Turbo Pascal could render pizels too | Nov 17 10:12 |
schestowitz | But I never got this far. I have a friend who did, and he's still doing well as a programmer (freelance) | Nov 17 10:12 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: a lo was written in C though | Nov 17 10:12 |
DaemonFC | Borland made good stuff, eventually they were replaced with Microsoft compilers which still don't support modern C and C++ language features | Nov 17 10:12 |
schestowitz | it was a "hard" language for school | Nov 17 10:13 |
DaemonFC | as a ploy to get people to use WIndows only languages | Nov 17 10:13 |
DaemonFC | like C# | Nov 17 10:13 |
schestowitz | meh | Nov 17 10:13 |
schestowitz | is c# gaining any traction at all? | Nov 17 10:13 |
schestowitz | I don't hear much about it | Nov 17 10:13 |
schestowitz | I remember job ads that mentioned Silver Lie along with it | Nov 17 10:13 |
schestowitz | How stupid were they.. | Nov 17 10:13 |
DaemonFC | here, lets repeat all of our "Lets make programs that only run on Windows XP" strategy | Nov 17 10:14 |
schestowitz | seems like the Ps (python/perl/php) are in a healthy state thanks for CMSs and stuch.. | Nov 17 10:14 |
DaemonFC | this time for Vistaware | Nov 17 10:14 |
schestowitz | *Cuh | Nov 17 10:14 |
schestowitz | I think mobile development grows the most | Nov 17 10:14 |
DaemonFC | A lot of businesses can't move off of XP even if they wanted to | Nov 17 10:14 |
schestowitz | I noticed, some companies don't even bother with desktop apps | Nov 17 10:14 |
schestowitz | Like, as front ends to API-enabled sites | Nov 17 10:15 |
DaemonFC | because over the years, they've made tons of programs that need it nd would need rewritten | Nov 17 10:15 |
schestowitz | They have no clear business model on desktop | Nov 17 10:15 |
schestowitz | Shrink wrap? No. Cross-platform? Hard. | Nov 17 10:15 |
DaemonFC | which was what Microsoft was trying for at the time | Nov 17 10:15 |
schestowitz | So they go for application stores now. | Nov 17 10:15 |
DaemonFC | I guess they were short sighted enough to not understand it would hurt their own future operating systems | Nov 17 10:15 |
schestowitz | Tablets too... | Nov 17 10:15 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft still sells Windows XP licenses under the table | Nov 17 10:16 |
schestowitz | [10:14] <DaemonFC> A lot of businesses can't move off of XP even if they wanted to | Nov 17 10:16 |
DaemonFC | at Windows 7 prices | Nov 17 10:16 |
schestowitz | They could virtaulise XP, but what's the point? | Nov 17 10:16 |
DaemonFC | and calls them Windows 7 sales | Nov 17 10:16 |
schestowitz | windows 7 was sold?! | Nov 17 10:16 |
schestowitz | To whom? | Nov 17 10:16 |
schestowitz | I thought it was Microsoft's only | Nov 17 10:16 |
schestowitz | Did they sell the code? | Nov 17 10:16 |
DaemonFC | they donated it | Nov 17 10:16 |
schestowitz | or made a copy and licensed it? | Nov 17 10:16 |
DaemonFC | to select partners and the Chinese government | Nov 17 10:16 |
DaemonFC | SHARED ZOMG SOURCE! | Nov 17 10:17 |
schestowitz | Shred source | Nov 17 10:17 |
schestowitz | shards of crappy code | Nov 17 10:17 |
B`rendan | they put xp on the 1 laptop per child thing didnt they? | Nov 17 10:17 |
DaemonFC | as long as you don't change it, study it for purposes of competing with it, or compile and try to use it, you can LOOK at something which CLAIMS to be Windows source code | Nov 17 10:17 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 10:17 |
schestowitz | B`rendan: They faild | Nov 17 10:17 |
DaemonFC | "Shared Source" | Nov 17 10:17 |
schestowitz | OLPC urns Fedora | Nov 17 10:18 |
schestowitz | all of them | Nov 17 10:18 |
B`rendan | interesting choice... | Nov 17 10:18 |
schestowitz | I think about a million... the OLPC site recently said so | Nov 17 10:18 |
DaemonFC | I liked how Wikipedia articles on proprietary Microsoft software have all been changed to say "Shared Source" | Nov 17 10:18 |
schestowitz | thjey were?! | Nov 17 10:18 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz: cut it out buttmonkey! | Nov 17 10:21 |
DaemonFC | :P | Nov 17 10:21 |
B`rendan | It sucks that GNU+Linux is called linux through wikipedia, and it looks like a decent job to fix, and would probably be destroyed again by 'open source' people | Nov 17 10:21 |
schestowitz | open source people are OK | Nov 17 10:21 |
schestowitz | But not all are equal | Nov 17 10:21 |
schestowitz | for instance Mac Asay | Nov 17 10:21 |
DaemonFC | you know, why would you ever want to anonymously download free and open source software anonymously to use however you want | Nov 17 10:21 |
schestowitz | He's not FOSS | Nov 17 10:21 |
schestowitz | he makes proprietary webware | Nov 17 10:22 |
DaemonFC | when you can jump through hoops and see some Microsoft code you can't use | Nov 17 10:22 |
MinceR | open sores | Nov 17 10:22 |
schestowitz | Open Soros :-) | Nov 17 10:22 |
schestowitz | Money first | Nov 17 10:22 |
B`rendan | this whole warping of the history of the os is a bit worrying though | Nov 17 10:22 |
MinceR | monkey first? | Nov 17 10:22 |
schestowitz | that's what the doctor told ryan's mom | Nov 17 10:22 |

schestowitz | hypa hypa | Nov 17 10:24 |
schestowitz | !gfoogle hypa hypa | Nov 17 10:24 |
DaemonFC | I wonder why the Chinese and Russians are so good at making Windows malware | Nov 17 10:24 |
DaemonFC | maybe it's because Microsoft gave the source code for Windows to corrupt government officials who sold it to criminals? | Nov 17 10:24 |
schestowitz | what about the US? | Nov 17 10:24 |

schestowitz | Where DaemonFC's dad used to work | Nov 17 10:31 |
schestowitz | They don't care about people | Nov 17 10:32 |
schestowitz | or labour laws | Nov 17 10:32 |
schestowitz | They'd hire people abroad to extort unions into shutdown -- a sort of blackmail | Nov 17 10:32 |
schestowitz | They also sell machines for Israel to domolish homes in territories it occupies, but that's another story RMS likes to stress | Nov 17 10:33 |
schestowitz | Caterpillar make ugly shoes, too :-) | Nov 17 10:33 |
B`rendan | do libreplanet get any threats or attacks for exposing this stuff? | Nov 17 10:42 |
B`rendan | i mean techrights* | Nov 17 10:43 |

DaemonFC | and not bought from Russia or CHina | Nov 17 10:44 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 10:44 |
DaemonFC | The Israelis would resort to shelling or torching those peoples homes if they couldn't get bulldozers at all | Nov 17 10:45 |
DaemonFC | why is this Caterpillar's fault for selling them construction machinery? | Nov 17 10:45 |
DaemonFC | if we sell them hammers and they use hammers to kill so-called "Palestinians", then we're the evil bastards who sold them hammers | Nov 17 10:46 |

DaemonFC | RMS is the most anti-US prick I've ever seen | Nov 17 10:46 |

DaemonFC | his political blog | Nov 17 11:13 |
B`rendan | so you actually dont like him or are joking? | Nov 17 11:15 |
DaemonFC | I agree with some of what he says | Nov 17 11:25 |
DaemonFC | but when he's wrong, he's incredibly wrong | Nov 17 11:25 |
B`rendan | examples? | Nov 17 11:26 |
DaemonFC | well, when he strays from patent, trademark, and copyright issues, and into more generic political issues, he tends to be on the lunatic fringe | Nov 17 11:27 |
DaemonFC | but in the patent, trademark, and copyright law issues, he's usually right | Nov 17 11:27 |
B`rendan | i spend so much time trying to learn about these topics but i just come up to more and more disagreements and have no idea what to believe | Nov 17 11:27 |
DaemonFC | he's one of those people that says we should support Palestinian suicide bombers and make any Mexican that comes to the US a citizen for no reason at all | Nov 17 11:28 |
MinceR | DaemonFC thinks the usian government is right | Nov 17 11:28 |
B`rendan | where does he say that? | Nov 17 11:29 |
MinceR | where he uses "anti-US" like it's a bad thing | Nov 17 11:29 |
B`rendan | im fairly confused at the moment | Nov 17 11:29 |
DaemonFC | no, I mean he's gratuitously anti-American | Nov 17 11:29 |
B`rendan | where is he at the moment? | Nov 17 11:30 |
DaemonFC | even in situations where his viewpoints are stupid and absurd and inflammatory for their own sake | Nov 17 11:30 |

B`rendan | i remember reading he would never fly to us because of finger print reading, so i dont know how he can leave and get back | Nov 17 11:30 |
MinceR | by boat? | Nov 17 11:31 |
B`rendan | mmk | Nov 17 11:31 |
MinceR | or taking train or bus out of usa and then fly from there? | Nov 17 11:31 |
B`rendan | do you agree with MinceR ? | Nov 17 11:31 |
B`rendan | i mean DaemonFC | Nov 17 11:31 |
MinceR | though i don't know how far they've corrupted mexico and canada in that way | Nov 17 11:31 |
DaemonFC | regardign the cities finding excuses to end the occupy protests, the one that amused me above all else were the ones that said they needed to "get the trash out of the park" | Nov 17 11:32 |
B`rendan | to be honest im not even sure what to think about fingerprint scanning, i just dont like it anyway | Nov 17 11:32 |
DaemonFC | they're not talking about McDonalds wrappers and used condoms | Nov 17 11:32 |
DaemonFC | ;) | Nov 17 11:32 |
MinceR | and DaemonFC cheers them on | Nov 17 11:32 |
DaemonFC | "I think of all the excuses that cities have used to end freedom to peaceably assemble and to free speech, 'getting the trash out of the park' was my favorite. Cities like New York have never cared about McDonalds wrappers, used syringes, and condoms in their parks before, but the 'trash' they speak of are working class Americans." -me | Nov 17 11:35 |
DaemonFC | I mentioned that on my Facebook wall | Nov 17 11:35 |
B`rendan | big chant video on the occupywallstreet site lol | Nov 17 11:39 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: to be fair, and keeping in mind that I agree with you, New York City has been quite free of the mess it used to be known for in the last 10 years or so | Nov 17 11:44 |
DaemonFC | I agree with RMS on the issues of TARP and Occupy Wall Street | Nov 17 11:46 |
prurigro | and on that note, g'morning to anyone who happens to be around :) | Nov 17 11:46 |
prurigro | RMS? | Nov 17 11:46 |
DaemonFC | also, that female genital mutilation done by Muslims is disgusting and barbaric | Nov 17 11:46 |

DaemonFC | Richard Stallman | Nov 17 11:46 |
DaemonFC | I decided to glance over his political blog again | Nov 17 11:46 |
DaemonFC | He unfortunately does not agree with freedom of speech when it comes to video games | Nov 17 11:47 |
DaemonFC | he's more like that asshole, Jack Thompson there | Nov 17 11:47 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 11:47 |
prurigro | ohh, word haha- I must say, he's pretty radical considering I somehow still agree with the majority of his premises | Nov 17 11:47 |
prurigro | word though, really | Nov 17 11:47 |
prurigro | that's unfortunate | Nov 17 11:48 |
DaemonFC | he's right abotu the Keystone XL pipeline and Canada's filthy oil | Nov 17 11:48 |
DaemonFC | *about | Nov 17 11:48 |
prurigro | so often people seem to have completely reasonable views among ridiculous ones, and then it turns out that it only includes their area of interest | Nov 17 11:48 |
prurigro | and yea, the Canada oil situation has been a messy one, and I say that as a Canadian one | Nov 17 11:49 |
prurigro | apparently a lot of the execs from BP who were 'let go of' or 'quit' BP after the Gulf of Mexico stuff ended up working for the companies in Calgary | Nov 17 11:50 |
DaemonFC | I agree with him regarding health insurance companies | Nov 17 11:50 |
DaemonFC | hard not to if you've ever dealt with one | Nov 17 11:50 |
prurigro | America should mirror Canada's health strategy, except fix the few issues we're still doing wrong | Nov 17 11:50 |
DaemonFC | "Drug terror in Mexico is fueled by the US' War on Drugs." | Nov 17 11:51 |
prurigro | after that health insurance companies can do whatever they want for non essential health related fun | Nov 17 11:51 |
DaemonFC | If Mexico was serious about putting an end to those cartels, they would allow the US to use Reaper drones against their bases of operation | Nov 17 11:51 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 11:51 |
prurigro | prison population problems in the US are fueled by the war on drugs too | Nov 17 11:51 |
prurigro | reaper drones? | Nov 17 11:52 |
prurigro | did you see anonymous' recent dealings with the cartels? | Nov 17 11:52 |
DaemonFC | an armed UAV | Nov 17 11:52 |
DaemonFC | operational ceiling of 50,000 feet | Nov 17 11:52 |

prurigro | hard enough to contain it on the home front, let alone wipe out all the dirty politicians involved in maintaining the cartels | Nov 17 11:53 |
DaemonFC | there's dirty politicians on the US side as well | Nov 17 11:54 |
prurigro | for sure | Nov 17 11:54 |
DaemonFC | and border patrol agents that are paid by the cartels to ignore them | Nov 17 11:54 |
prurigro | especially ones that run their own operation, completely separate of anything mexico | Nov 17 11:54 |
B`rendan | any links to some of his radical posts? | Nov 17 11:54 |
DaemonFC | I agree with the US Air Force decision to start phasing out piloted aircraft | Nov 17 11:54 |
prurigro | radical posts? | Nov 17 11:55 |
DaemonFC | drones have limits that far exceed a human pilot | Nov 17 11:55 |
prurigro | totally, why have someone die when you don't have to | Nov 17 11:55 |
DaemonFC | and the reduced weight means more room for weapons | Nov 17 11:55 |
prurigro | + those reasons | Nov 17 11:55 |
DaemonFC | and if it gets shot down, you don't lose a pilot | Nov 17 11:55 |
B`rendan | as in radical blog posts, or what ever | Nov 17 11:55 |

DaemonFC | this is utterly disgusting | Nov 17 11:56 |
B`rendan | i want to learn about these things you disagree with stallman about | Nov 17 11:56 |
B`rendan | anything really | Nov 17 11:56 |
DaemonFC | Medicare sues you if they think you've been in the hospital for too many days that year? | Nov 17 11:56 |
DaemonFC | yet claims they cover X number of days per year | Nov 17 11:56 |
prurigro | are you talking about when I mentioned how radical he is? | Nov 17 11:56 |
B`rendan | you and DaemonFC showed disagreement | Nov 17 11:57 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: that's like a corporation offering you sick days-- if they wanted you to take them they'd just give you more holiday | Nov 17 11:57 |
prurigro | B`rendan: did we? Oh, you're talking about Daemon's disagreement with his videogame stuff | Nov 17 11:57 |
prurigro | ? | Nov 17 11:58 |
B`rendan | i want to know why because in software he seems to be right as far as i can tell | Nov 17 11:58 |
DaemonFC | "Why NPR is wrong (and dangerously stupid) to fire journalists who hold up signs in public." | Nov 17 11:58 |
B`rendan | and the other stuff | Nov 17 11:58 |
DaemonFC | NPR has been corrupt since Walmart effectively bought them in 2005 | Nov 17 11:58 |
*B`rendan has quit (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.6) | Nov 17 11:58 | |
*Brendan_T (~Brendan_T@repo.parabolagnulinux.org) has joined #techrights | Nov 17 11:58 | |
DaemonFC | prurigro: Medicare claims they let you stay in the hospital X number of days per year | Nov 17 11:58 |
DaemonFC | You have no say in how long you stay in the hospital unless you leave against medical advice, in which case Medicare covers 0 days of your stay | Nov 17 11:59 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: it probably says further down that its under the condition that medical opinion requires such stay or something | Nov 17 11:59 |
DaemonFC | Then they turn around and sue YOU because the doctor said how many days you needed | Nov 17 11:59 |
Brendan_T | DaemonFC | well, when he strays from patent, trademark, and copyright issues, and into more generic political issues, he tends to be on the lunatic fringe | Nov 17 12:00 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: oh, I see the angle you're talking about, yea, that's pretty bad | Nov 17 12:00 |
Brendan_T | that kinda stuff | Nov 17 12:00 |
DaemonFC | so you either possibly get sued or Medicare doesn't pay anything if you check yourself out | Nov 17 12:00 |
DaemonFC | how is it fair to you? | Nov 17 12:00 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: the one topic DaemonFC specifically mentioned was videogames, the rest of the stuff you said you agreed with right DaemonFC? | Nov 17 12:00 |
DaemonFC | if they want patients to limit their stay in the hospital, they should drop the part where they pay nothing if you leave against medical advice | Nov 17 12:01 |
Brendan_T | i havent said i agreed with anything, im just trying to learn more | Nov 17 12:01 |
DaemonFC | or just accept that there are some hospitals who try to milk Medicare and sue THEM | Nov 17 12:01 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:01 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: I think it sounds like why I dislike the private sector handling anything I don't have a choice in whether I'm going to get or not | Nov 17 12:01 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: err yea, sorry, I'd meant to split that up, the first half for you and the second half for DaemonFC, but I can see how it looked confusing | Nov 17 12:01 |
DaemonFC | Medicare is starting to become less like a single payer system that approves reasonable care | Nov 17 12:02 |
DaemonFC | and more like an HMOP that fights the patient and takes their pound of flesh from the patient, and not the crooked doctors and hospitals | Nov 17 12:02 |
prurigro | is Medicare the quote unquote "obamacare"? | Nov 17 12:02 |
DaemonFC | no | Nov 17 12:02 |
prurigro | word | Nov 17 12:02 |
DaemonFC | Medicare has been around since the 1960s | Nov 17 12:02 |
Brendan_T | im not that great at following irc text when im swapping and channels and doing various things | Nov 17 12:02 |
DaemonFC | it is for old people and the disabled | Nov 17 12:02 |
MinceR | abominicare | Nov 17 12:02 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: lets blame me on this particular instance, but touche :) | Nov 17 12:03 |
Brendan_T | its important for me to think about this because currently i agree with him on software and such and i suppose 'look up to him' or what ever | Nov 17 12:03 |
DaemonFC | Obamanation Care is totally corrupt | Nov 17 12:03 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: did you catch Brendan_T's question about Stallman's ridiculous stuff? | Nov 17 12:03 |
DaemonFC | it essentially herds people up like cattle and forces them to pay corrupt for-profit insurance companies unreasonable rates | Nov 17 12:03 |
DaemonFC | and if you get subsidies, it goes from the tax pool to the hands of private insurers | Nov 17 12:04 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: I think calling it Obamanation Care is unfair considering he's not the one who fucked i tup | Nov 17 12:04 |
DaemonFC | thiswill be rife with fraud and waste | Nov 17 12:04 |
DaemonFC | and there's no argument that will convince me otherwise | Nov 17 12:04 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: you're absolutely correct, but only because the original, much more reasonable plan was twisted into this mess that it is now by the opposition | Nov 17 12:04 |
prurigro | so no need to worry about an argument again :) | Nov 17 12:05 |
DaemonFC | right, the health insurance companies lobbied FOR this thing we have now | Nov 17 12:05 |
DaemonFC | they WANT it | Nov 17 12:05 |
DaemonFC | which makes it bad for me and thee | Nov 17 12:05 |
DaemonFC | ;) | Nov 17 12:05 |
DaemonFC | the Republicans threatening to repeal it is a hollow election promise they will not fulfill even if they do gain a majority | Nov 17 12:06 |
DaemonFC | because their sponsors want it | Nov 17 12:06 |
DaemonFC | and so do they | Nov 17 12:06 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: it was going to be a political institution, like in Canada- as soon as you hand over the keys to corporations, its the same as before but probably worse, since like you say, they lobbied for what got passed | Nov 17 12:06 |
prurigro | the Republicans essentially saw something they didn't want, met up with all the people that'd be effected and drafted up something they did want | Nov 17 12:07 |
prurigro | proposed it as meeting in the middle | Nov 17 12:07 |
prurigro | and the rest is history | Nov 17 12:07 |
DaemonFC | no insurance is preferable to this healthcare mandate | Nov 17 12:08 |
DaemonFC | all it means is you get the same "friendly" letters of denial anyone with private insurance has had to begin with | Nov 17 12:08 |
prurigro | have you (or anyone) been following the whole censoring the internet thing that got big in the last few weeks? | Nov 17 12:08 |
DaemonFC | and the government holding a gun to you making you pay premiums for the trouble | Nov 17 12:08 |
DaemonFC | I have | Nov 17 12:09 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: things that make or break a person should not be in corporate hands | Nov 17 12:09 |
prurigro | and hmm | Nov 17 12:09 |
Brendan_T | a tiny bit, i get emails from avaaz telling me about a new end-of-the world thing happening every day | Nov 17 12:09 |
DaemonFC | Demand Progress and the EFF submitted over 500,000 signatures on their petitions | Nov 17 12:09 |
DaemonFC | mine included | Nov 17 12:09 |
prurigro | I was told its not actually as bad as it seems | Nov 17 12:09 |
prurigro | apparently its not a great firewall in any form | Nov 17 12:09 |
Brendan_T | is this the DNS censoring? | Nov 17 12:10 |
prurigro | its actually handled purely at the DNS level | Nov 17 12:10 |
DaemonFC | the people saying it's not so bad, bend over and take it are the MAFIAA | Nov 17 12:10 |
DaemonFC | and their pet congress critters | Nov 17 12:10 |
prurigro | its bad | Nov 17 12:10 |
prurigro | and it shouldn't happen | Nov 17 12:10 |
prurigro | but its not going to ruin the internet | Nov 17 12:10 |
DaemonFC | I'll switch to foreign DNS servers if it happens | Nov 17 12:10 |
prurigro | you'll just need to connect to a Canadian DNS server | Nov 17 12:10 |
prurigro | yea | Nov 17 12:10 |
prurigro | so you guys are on the right page | Nov 17 12:10 |
DaemonFC | and foreign search engines with English translations available | Nov 17 12:10 |
Brendan_T | im in australia :P | Nov 17 12:10 |
prurigro | a lot of the internet is blowing it out of proportion and implying an entire firewalls's gonna be added | Nov 17 12:11 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: haha yea, lucky us :) | Nov 17 12:11 |
DaemonFC | no, it's not blowing it out of proportion to say you have a Plan B if it happens | Nov 17 12:11 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:11 |
prurigro | well what I mean is | Nov 17 12:11 |
Brendan_T | someone tried to put in a firewall here to 'protect children from porn' but luckily it didnt work | Nov 17 12:11 |
prurigro | that I've read in quite a few locations suggesting that a firewall infrastructure will need to be installed to take care of blocking the sites | Nov 17 12:11 |
DaemonFC | have to protect the children from porn | Nov 17 12:12 |
prurigro | which it would if they were physically being blocked | Nov 17 12:12 |
Brendan_T | it would have just been a big was of cash and electricity, slowing everything down as it tries to filter | Nov 17 12:12 |
DaemonFC | why, with all the violent network TV | Nov 17 12:12 |
prurigro | and at that point, the government suddenly has a tool implemented that they can use to do nasty things with | Nov 17 12:12 |
DaemonFC | two people fucking is obviously the worst thing they'll ever see | Nov 17 12:12 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:12 |
Brendan_T | because the blacklist is not available to public | Nov 17 12:12 |
Brendan_T | thats the catch | Nov 17 12:12 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: lol wow, that reminds me of the 'vchip' | Nov 17 12:12 |
DaemonFC | I don't get why porn is so "bad" | Nov 17 12:12 |
DaemonFC | other than religious objections | Nov 17 12:13 |
Brendan_T | it turns children evil? | Nov 17 12:13 |
DaemonFC | or the practical concerns that usually go with sex | Nov 17 12:13 |
DaemonFC | pregnancy, STDs, etc. | Nov 17 12:13 |
DaemonFC | that's why there's the concept of informed consent | Nov 17 12:13 |
DaemonFC | you know | Nov 17 12:13 |
DaemonFC | you do something that has consequences | Nov 17 12:13 |
prurigro | I wonder if MAFIAA Fire would start hosting those sites | Nov 17 12:13 |
Brendan_T | well the leader of one of our parties is christian nutter that doesnt believe in climate change or what ever (so im told) | Nov 17 12:13 |
DaemonFC | you do that thing and if the consequences happen, no bitching | Nov 17 12:13 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: because of religious people, that's why | Nov 17 12:13 |
DaemonFC | I'm all for that | Nov 17 12:13 |
DaemonFC | cigarettes with warning labels are totally reasonable to me | Nov 17 12:14 |
Brendan_T | i think someone here posted the link that got me to freenet, anyone know anything about it. is it good? | Nov 17 12:14 |
prurigro | in Denmark they educate on sex every year from the start | Nov 17 12:14 |
prurigro | according to a Dane from Reddit | Nov 17 12:14 |
DaemonFC | porn is hardly the worst thing in the world | Nov 17 12:14 |
Brendan_T | its the best | Nov 17 12:14 |
DaemonFC | it doesn't make the Top 10 | Nov 17 12:14 |
DaemonFC | but it gets a disproportionate backblast considering the minimal (if any) harm it causes | Nov 17 12:15 |
prurigro | who also said there's a fringe Catholic school board over there who doesn't, in contrast, and unlike the rest of the country's almost 0% teen pregnancy rate, the girls in the Catholic school board apparently have a bunch each year | Nov 17 12:15 |
Brendan_T | i suppose it offends people, and is a good excuse to get a filter in | Nov 17 12:15 |
DaemonFC | right | Nov 17 12:15 |
DaemonFC | teenagers from highly religious (Christian) families have a higher pregnancy rate | Nov 17 12:15 |
prurigro | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SlAMsaQbM4&list=FL1yJ6Xzlo0-jW2SLMtosa1g&index=3&feature=plpp_video this is how they handle drug PSAs (if I hadn't posted this in here earlier?) | Nov 17 12:16 |

DaemonFC | I'm leery of plugins that rewrite your urls | Nov 17 12:20 |
prurigro | haha | Nov 17 12:20 |
Brendan_T | uhhh, those tubes are in paralell, not a series | Nov 17 12:20 |
prurigro | well Mozilla was requested to take this one down by the RIAA | Nov 17 12:20 |
DaemonFC | especially one that uses a url for updates that was originally taken to host a hardcore porn site that never was | Nov 17 12:20 |
prurigro | and Mozilla denied said action, so you can read into that how you like | Nov 17 12:20 |
prurigro | but I assume they've reviewed it | Nov 17 12:20 |
DaemonFC | one I do use is https everywhere | Nov 17 12:21 |
DaemonFC | but I trust the EFF not to misuse that | Nov 17 12:21 |
prurigro | ahh that one's good | Nov 17 12:21 |
prurigro | I can't remember if you'd said you search with duckduckgo? | Nov 17 12:22 |
Brendan_T | https everywhere is default in icecat, or maybe the packager did it | Nov 17 12:22 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: interesting! this sounds like a pretty custom build indeed lol | Nov 17 12:22 |
prurigro | it woulda had to have been the packager on that note | Nov 17 12:23 |
prurigro | if its from debian's repos | Nov 17 12:23 |
DaemonFC | besides | Nov 17 12:23 |
prurigro | since I'm fairly sure there's no 'real' icecat aside from through debian | Nov 17 12:23 |
Brendan_T | I'm using the parabola distro, which is a free arch essentially | Nov 17 12:23 |

prurigro | Brendan_T: oh, word, I guess it did take off, and man I'm mixing information up, I'd thought you were debian for some reason | Nov 17 12:24 |
DaemonFC | AOHELL changed their Shoutcast terms | Nov 17 12:24 |
DaemonFC | to ones you can't satisfy with free software | Nov 17 12:24 |
DaemonFC | one of the new terms is any software which uses their Shoutcast API must install a spyware toolbar into the user's web browser on behalf of AOL | Nov 17 12:24 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: I guess the idea is that it'll continue to grow, but fair enough | Nov 17 12:25 |
prurigro | you could even just edit your own etc/hosts file to match | Nov 17 12:25 |
prurigro | the sites on the list | Nov 17 12:25 |
DaemonFC | I understand why they dropped it | Nov 17 12:25 |
DaemonFC | it's not worth the terms AOL imposes even if it wouldn't make any software that did it nonfree | Nov 17 12:25 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:25 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: icecat, not cast? | Nov 17 12:25 |
DaemonFC | Shoutcast | Nov 17 12:25 |
DaemonFC | should be dropped | Nov 17 12:26 |
DaemonFC | by everyone and anything that uses it | Nov 17 12:26 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: interesting, is icecast also pls? | Nov 17 12:26 |
DaemonFC | I believe it is | Nov 17 12:26 |
prurigro | word | Nov 17 12:26 |
prurigro | I wonder what di.fm uses | Nov 17 12:26 |
DaemonFC | of course the bonus is it not only works with MP3s | Nov 17 12:26 |
prurigro | prolly ice | Nov 17 12:26 |
DaemonFC | but with anything using an Ogg container | Nov 17 12:26 |
prurigro | ogg? | Nov 17 12:26 |
prurigro | nice | Nov 17 12:26 |
DaemonFC | so it's a better Shoutcast than Shoutcast | Nov 17 12:26 |
prurigro | well most free software is better in that direction | Nov 17 12:27 |
DaemonFC | SHoutcast is limited to MP3 and AAC | Nov 17 12:27 |
prurigro | if the playstation 3 included free codecs, it'd be so much better a media centre | Nov 17 12:27 |
DaemonFC | Icecast can use those, but also anything in an Ogg container | Nov 17 12:27 |
DaemonFC | and there are no mandatory spyware terms in the Icecast directory terms of use | Nov 17 12:28 |
Brendan_T | pls? | Nov 17 12:28 |
DaemonFC | you can stream FLAC with Icecast | Nov 17 12:28 |
DaemonFC | if you put it in an Ogg container | Nov 17 12:28 |
prurigro | @Brendan_T: I can't seem to find the homepage of Parabola | Nov 17 12:28 |
prurigro | got a link? | Nov 17 12:28 |
Brendan_T | https://parabolagnulinux.org | Nov 17 12:28 |
DaemonFC | the FLAC container is minimal and does not handle streaming | Nov 17 12:28 |

TechrightsBot-tr | Title: Parabola GNU/Linux-libre .::. Size~: 20.22 KB | Nov 17 12:28 |
Brendan_T | it is https only | Nov 17 12:29 |

Brendan_T | at least for the main page | Nov 17 12:29 |
DaemonFC | but you can stream them | Nov 17 12:29 |
Brendan_T | do note that the main page has been neglected for quite a while | Nov 17 12:29 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: do you know how much they change from pure Arch? | Nov 17 12:29 |
Brendan_T | and the mailing list link is wrong | Nov 17 12:29 |
DaemonFC | it makes no sense to use Ogg FLAC if you only intend to use them locally | Nov 17 12:29 |
DaemonFC | the FLAC container is much smaller | Nov 17 12:29 |
prurigro | I wonder if I couldn't just switch my mirrorlist to theirs and update | Nov 17 12:29 |
Brendan_T | yeah, i am one of the packagers, ive only started a short while ago and done a little bit | Nov 17 12:29 |
DaemonFC | but it won't stream | Nov 17 12:29 |
DaemonFC | that's the only difference | Nov 17 12:30 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: ahh, that makes sense-- though seems counter productive to streaming purposes :) | Nov 17 12:30 |
Brendan_T | they remove everything which is nonfree, and things which are mostly free but have nonfree plugins get patched and renamed to pkgname-libre | Nov 17 12:30 |
Brendan_T | also someone is compiling for mips | Nov 17 12:30 |
DaemonFC | Ogg FLAC adds enough overhead that for every 20 FLAC files or so, you could have stored an entire extra FLAC with the FLAC container | Nov 17 12:30 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: do you have a mirror list? I'm curious to plug it in and see what pacman tries to change | Nov 17 12:31 |
Brendan_T | i have packaged guile, and audacious-plugins-libre | Nov 17 12:31 |
DaemonFC | so it eats space on your portable media player to use the Ogg container with them | Nov 17 12:31 |
prurigro | err, not list, but just a single mirror server | Nov 17 12:31 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: though I suppose anything they flat out removed wouldn't be effected eh? | Nov 17 12:31 |
DaemonFC | so my player holds about 500 FLAC files, estimated of course | Nov 17 12:31 |
Brendan_T | what do you mean? | Nov 17 12:31 |
DaemonFC | if I used ogg FLAC the capacity would go down by about 25 files or so | Nov 17 12:32 |
DaemonFC | or roughly an album or two | Nov 17 12:32 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: its a shame flac never really caught on for more commercial stuff, in that respect, or ogg for that matter | Nov 17 12:32 |
Brendan_T | https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/Migration_From_Arch | Nov 17 12:32 |
DaemonFC | Ogg Vorbis is a much more efficient codec | Nov 17 12:32 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: well I run Arch right? so I could just take a mirror from Parabola and setup my mirrorlist to use that | Nov 17 12:32 |
TechrightsBot-tr | Title: Migration from Arch - Parabola GNU/Linux-Libre Wiki .::. Size~: 21.11 KB | Nov 17 12:32 |
DaemonFC | it's "lossy", but good enough that I've never been able to tell teh difference at q6 or 7 | Nov 17 12:33 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: oh haha, interesting, its been documented | Nov 17 12:33 |
DaemonFC | and at that level they are about 1/6th the size of a FLAC file | Nov 17 12:33 |
Brendan_T | blacklisted packages: http://repo.parabolagnulinux.org/docs/blacklist.txt | Nov 17 12:33 |
TechrightsBot-tr | Not a web page! Aborting text/plain type | Nov 17 12:33 |
DaemonFC | or roughly 15% the size of CDDA PCM | Nov 17 12:33 |
DaemonFC | it's a really really good lossy codec | Nov 17 12:33 |
Brendan_T | yeah, it pretty well just duplicates arch, then deletes as much nonfree stuff as can be found | Nov 17 12:33 |
Brendan_T | even things that set firefox to default browser get patched | Nov 17 12:34 |
DaemonFC | I use q6 on everything | Nov 17 12:34 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: this is pretty much what I'd imagined, though it looks like its gonna write over my current mirrorlist | Nov 17 12:34 |
DaemonFC | mostly because the encoder does fully lossless stereo coupling at that rate | Nov 17 12:34 |
DaemonFC | and it makes it sound a little better with perfect stereo separation like you get with headphones :) | Nov 17 12:34 |
DaemonFC | anything over q6 tends to be overkill | Nov 17 12:35 |
Brendan_T | there is `your-freedom' package :P | Nov 17 12:35 |
DaemonFC | not always, but often | Nov 17 12:35 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: yea, its had a basically the support of the whole open community vs a little in house dev team at AOL or the like | Nov 17 12:35 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: hmm, this is quite a bit-- and I hadn't been thinking about good ol' flash haha | Nov 17 12:36 |
DaemonFC | Vorbis beats MP3 or AAC hands down at any streaming bitrate you're likely to want to use | Nov 17 12:36 |
DaemonFC | no contest | Nov 17 12:36 |
DaemonFC | and blows WMA Professional out of the water | Nov 17 12:36 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: no emulation!? | Nov 17 12:37 |
DaemonFC | I've tried WMA Professional out of simple curiosity | Nov 17 12:37 |
DaemonFC | it's similar in concept to High Efficiency AAC | Nov 17 12:37 |
Brendan_T | there is a youtube-dl program that downloads from youtube, vimeo and probably others, and it can get the direct link and pass it to mplayer or what ever so you dont have to suffer trying gnash | Nov 17 12:37 |
Brendan_T | huh? | Nov 17 12:37 |
DaemonFC | only it gives worse results than Nero AAC | Nov 17 12:37 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: "mupen64plus::emulators are only used with unfree games. reported by lukeshu" This is like saying mplayer shouldn't be added because its used for playing unfree movies | Nov 17 12:37 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: no kidding haha, and Nero AAC is free too | Nov 17 12:38 |
Brendan_T | its probably something that only has unfree games and nothing else | Nov 17 12:38 |
prurigro | well, as in beer | Nov 17 12:38 |
DaemonFC | Leave it to Microsoft to make something that's worse than AAC and less open and doesn't actually play in anything but their own software | Nov 17 12:38 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:38 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: I know I've seen some homebrew N64 games, lets fnid em | Nov 17 12:38 |
Brendan_T | i can talk to lukeshu about it | Nov 17 12:39 |
Brendan_T | im pretty sure we still have wine | Nov 17 12:39 |

prurigro | DaemonFC: yea, the wma format's pretty much dead from what I've seen | Nov 17 12:40 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: unless that's what's used in the asx container? | Nov 17 12:41 |
Brendan_T | sadly there are programmers who add no commercial use clauses to their emulation software because of fear from being attacked by companies liek nintendo or sony | Nov 17 12:41 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: well zsnes is definitely GPL on that note | Nov 17 12:41 |
prurigro | and there is also completely original homebrew stuff for that | Nov 17 12:41 |

DaemonFC | asx is a container for Windows Media formats | Nov 17 12:43 |
DaemonFC | it's dangerous | Nov 17 12:43 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: yea, I think the key should be to only include free programs; what people do with them after should be the users' choice | Nov 17 12:43 |
DaemonFC | at least on Windows | Nov 17 12:43 |
DaemonFC | it was designed to also embed ActiveX controls and to allow files with DRM to open arbitrary websites in Internet Explorer as the "licensing page" | Nov 17 12:43 |
DaemonFC | on free software, you have support for the non-dangerous parts of the asx container | Nov 17 12:44 |
DaemonFC | DRM won't work, oh well | Nov 17 12:44 |
DaemonFC | ActiveX won't work, good | Nov 17 12:44 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:44 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: presumably if you're going the route of Parabola, you're going know where your personal line is on the freedom issue, and you should be able to make up your own mind on issues beyond trusting that physical packages installed by Parabola are free | Nov 17 12:45 |
DaemonFC | asf is another extension for the same container | Nov 17 12:45 |
DaemonFC | it stands for Advanced Systems Format | Nov 17 12:45 |
DaemonFC | which confuses me since it was made for Windows | Nov 17 12:45 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:45 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: interesting haha, did I mention how much I love running linux? =D | Nov 17 12:46 |
DaemonFC | I'm saying you can use most asf streams with free software | Nov 17 12:46 |
DaemonFC | and not be in active danger from doing so like you would in Windows | Nov 17 12:46 |
DaemonFC | ;) | Nov 17 12:46 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: lol, I hear the Microsoft Devs like to make self deprecating jokes about their company-- maybe this was supposed to be ironic? | Nov 17 12:46 |
DaemonFC | not that I think Windows Media is preferable to anything else | Nov 17 12:46 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: if it was protected, I wouldn't want it anyway | Nov 17 12:47 |
DaemonFC | I don't use the word "protected" to refer to anything with DRM | Nov 17 12:47 |
DaemonFC | it doesn't protect anything, look at your favorite bittorrent site for the evidence of my claim | Nov 17 12:47 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:47 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: Stallman again :) | Nov 17 12:47 |
DaemonFC | what it does do is attack the fair use rights of the people that pay for a license | Nov 17 12:47 |
prurigro | my bad | Nov 17 12:47 |
DaemonFC | make sure to use protection | Nov 17 12:48 |
prurigro | lets call files with DRM "corrupted" then, on linux they might as well be | Nov 17 12:48 |
DaemonFC | you don't know where that file has been! | Nov 17 12:48 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 12:48 |
prurigro | linux is protection against corrupted files! | Nov 17 12:49 |
DaemonFC | I call them DRM poisoned | Nov 17 12:49 |
DaemonFC | it gets the point across without many words | Nov 17 12:49 |
prurigro | lol | Nov 17 12:49 |
Brendan_T | what do you mean by "make up your own mind on issues beyond trusting that physical packages installed by Parabola are free" | Nov 17 12:49 |
DaemonFC | There should be a laqw that anything with DRM has to have a Mr. Yuck sticker on it | Nov 17 12:50 |

DaemonFC | prurigro: I went through Walmart one night | Nov 17 12:52 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: as a rule of thumb I'd recommend | Nov 17 12:52 |
DaemonFC | putting Mr. Yuk stickers on all the Windows Vista boxes | Nov 17 12:52 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: even if that was the case though, what if I wanted to download it so I could build something free for it? | Nov 17 12:52 |
Brendan_T | I agree with you; I think I'll start a thread on the mailing list about it | Nov 17 12:53 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: I think you should follow the philosophy that its only the packages themselves that you make calls for, in general-- it'd avoid stuff like this in the future | Nov 17 12:53 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: sounds good :) thx-- I might look into an 'upgrade' if the rest of the devs agree as well | Nov 17 12:54 |
DaemonFC | prurigro: They pass out free sheets of Mr. Yuk stickers | Nov 17 12:54 |
DaemonFC | it's a great way to label Windows | Nov 17 12:54 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: lmao, I like it =D | Nov 17 12:54 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: I think I'd go around stamping them on a lot of things if I had a stack | Nov 17 12:54 |
Brendan_T | Feel free to join #parabola - you can idle and see other people chatting to get an idea of the kind of characters invloved | Nov 17 12:55 |
Brendan_T | involved.. ^.^ | Nov 17 12:55 |
DaemonFC | they sell them in bulk | Nov 17 12:55 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: sounds good :) I'm sure they're cool kids in general | Nov 17 12:55 |
DaemonFC | 2,500 stickers for $30 | Nov 17 12:56 |
DaemonFC | and the proceeeds go to childrens hospital charities and poison control centers | Nov 17 12:56 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: not too bad haha, clearly designed for a particular purpose :) | Nov 17 12:56 |
DaemonFC | so it's not like you're doing a bad thing in buying them | Nov 17 12:56 |
Brendan_T | my think penguin laptop has a big of white-out and a tux logo stuck over the windows logo on the super key | Nov 17 12:56 |
prurigro | Brendan_T: I'm in and in | Nov 17 12:56 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: that's pretty cool, in general | Nov 17 12:57 |
DaemonFC | though I'd imagine the influx of calls from people wondering why Mr. Yuk is on WIndows 7 boxes would neutralize that | Nov 17 12:57 |
DaemonFC | :P | Nov 17 12:57 |
DaemonFC | but if it happened enough, it might be newsworthy | Nov 17 12:57 |
prurigro | haha, hey- its not directly advertising a product right? | Nov 17 12:57 |
DaemonFC | it would help raise awareness of the Mr. Yuk campaign | Nov 17 12:57 |
DaemonFC | and warn people from Windows 7 | Nov 17 12:57 |
prurigro | its like "oh, well the person who put the sticker on my car is still an asshole, but at least they're a charitable asshole :)" | Nov 17 12:58 |
prurigro | yes! | Nov 17 12:58 |
prurigro | well, windows 7 is actually a pretty nice product, not that I'd use it | Nov 17 12:58 |
Brendan_T | prurigro: yeah, a weird amount of them speak both english and some other language. i suppose it could be called 'diverse' | Nov 17 12:58 |
Brendan_T | last i checked 'diverse' was coming to mean 'at least one black person' | Nov 17 12:59 |
DaemonFC | mexicans count too | Nov 17 12:59 |
prurigro | lol, American standards? | Nov 17 12:59 |
DaemonFC | so do lesbians | Nov 17 12:59 |
prurigro | lol | Nov 17 12:59 |
DaemonFC | and satanists | Nov 17 12:59 |
DaemonFC | put them all together and satisfy more government quotas with fewer people | Nov 17 12:59 |
prurigro | lol, apparently there aren't any satanists | Nov 17 12:59 |
prurigro | who aren't crazy at least | Nov 17 13:00 |
Brendan_T | it is funny seeing so many american films that have black actors doing some important roll even if they dont fit the act or simply suck, just so they can avoid being called racist or what ever | Nov 17 13:00 |
DaemonFC | a half-black, half-hispanic, lesbian satanist | Nov 17 13:00 |
DaemonFC | hot damn, I satsfied the government! | Nov 17 13:00 |

prurigro | they always leave out the Asians don't they | Nov 17 13:01 |
prurigro | =D | Nov 17 13:01 |
DaemonFC | no, they're stereotyped as hard workers | Nov 17 13:01 |
DaemonFC | I want the rest of my staff to be all asian | Nov 17 13:01 |
DaemonFC | then when the white people complain, they're not in the minority by law | Nov 17 13:01 |
DaemonFC | so they don't matter | Nov 17 13:01 |
DaemonFC | perfect | Nov 17 13:01 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 13:01 |
prurigro | actually | Nov 17 13:01 |
prurigro | the legal definition of minority | Nov 17 13:01 |
DaemonFC | I know | Nov 17 13:02 |
DaemonFC | the Connecticut firefighters case | Nov 17 13:02 |
DaemonFC | where the supreme court ruled that white people had been discriminated against | Nov 17 13:02 |
DaemonFC | in a rare showing of sanity | Nov 17 13:02 |
DaemonFC | the rampant reverse discrimination forced out more qualified white applicants from positions they deserved | Nov 17 13:02 |
DaemonFC | because some blacks and hispanics scored worse on the aptitude tests | Nov 17 13:03 |
prurigro | is a group of people who get less than other groups due to physical characteristics | Nov 17 13:03 |
DaemonFC | so they junked the whole system | Nov 17 13:03 |
prurigro | or something along those lines | Nov 17 13:03 |
DaemonFC | when you make it abotu skin color more than qualification, it's going to backfire on you at some point | Nov 17 13:04 |
prurigro | anyway, white men are essentially the best fit group for the term 'minority' in north america than any other | Nov 17 13:04 |
DaemonFC | in that case, it did | Nov 17 13:04 |
prurigro | and lol | Nov 17 13:04 |
prurigro | in Canada it got girls the test difficulty reduced for girls | Nov 17 13:04 |
prurigro | err | Nov 17 13:04 |
DaemonFC | if the black applicant is more qualified than the white one, hire the black guy, it should be about merit | Nov 17 13:04 |
prurigro | minus 'for girls' | Nov 17 13:04 |
DaemonFC | not skin color to fill government quotas with what may be bad workers | Nov 17 13:04 |
DaemonFC | the people that cry foul are the ones who don't actually have any marketable skills and just want hired anyway | Nov 17 13:05 |
DaemonFC | not always, but most of the time | Nov 17 13:05 |
prurigro | well the idea is supposed to be that if there are two people equally qualified, the non white one will get hired, if there are two equally qualified non white people, if one of them is native american, they will be hired, otherwise if one of them is female, she will be hired | Nov 17 13:05 |
prurigro | and a female native american beats a female immigrant | Nov 17 13:06 |
prurigro | but they also have quotas | Nov 17 13:06 |
prurigro | so the equal qualification thing kinda goes down the drain there | Nov 17 13:06 |

DaemonFC | not what race or religion they subscribe to | Nov 17 13:07 |
DaemonFC | or who they fuck | Nov 17 13:07 |
DaemonFC | but that's not how it works in practice | Nov 17 13:07 |
prurigro | DaemonFC: as long as we focus on race, in a supposedly good or bad direction, the system is racist | Nov 17 13:07 |
DaemonFC | "workplace diversity", in practice, just means hiring people that look different | Nov 17 13:07 |
prurigro | I think people should be hired with numbers instead of names on their resume, and interviews like in blind date, except with muffled voices | Nov 17 13:07 |
prurigro | if they're really so worried | Nov 17 13:08 |
DaemonFC | well, what's really bad is the US federal government mandates that employers put a place for your age, race, and religion on your application | Nov 17 13:08 |
DaemonFC | but filling it out is officially "optional" | Nov 17 13:08 |
DaemonFC | but if you don't, they'll probably trash your application without looking at it | Nov 17 13:09 |
DaemonFC | "Oh, a white guy in his 60s, well, we don't need any more of them, and he'd be a burden on our health insurance pool" | Nov 17 13:09 |

DaemonFC | "Oh, look, a black Muslim with no work experience, we get EEOC karma for him!" | Nov 17 13:10 |
DaemonFC | hired! | Nov 17 13:10 |
DaemonFC | "This one skipped that section, can't hire him, he doesn't want us to know every detail of his personal life, probably wouldn't want to piss in a cup for a job running a cash register anyway!" | Nov 17 13:11 |
DaemonFC | Trashed! | Nov 17 13:11 |
DaemonFC | I have a feeling this is how that EEOC compliance crap works | Nov 17 13:12 |
DaemonFC | it fills minority quotas, weeds out burdens to their group health insurance pool, and gets rid of the employees who have that pesky privacy expectation | Nov 17 13:13 |

prurigro | yup, its not a "oh he's white that wont do" | Nov 17 13:16 |
prurigro | its "oh, he's black, that will do" | Nov 17 13:16 |
prurigro | therefore not filling it out doesn't change thing | Nov 17 13:16 |
prurigro | I dunno if religion is included? | Nov 17 13:16 |
prurigro | is it? | Nov 17 13:16 |
DaemonFC | lets just drop the political correctness | Nov 17 13:17 |
DaemonFC | and settle with being merely correct instead | Nov 17 13:17 |
DaemonFC | this is how the system works | Nov 17 13:17 |
DaemonFC | everyone knows it | Nov 17 13:17 |
DaemonFC | if you mention it, you're a racist | Nov 17 13:17 |
prurigro | oh well I was more asking about it being on the application | Nov 17 13:18 |
prurigro | I could see race | Nov 17 13:18 |
DaemonFC | you're supposed to just suffer in silence if you're one of the groups that anti-discrimination laws create discrimination against | Nov 17 13:18 |
prurigro | canada just has "are you a member of a visible minority?" | Nov 17 13:18 |
prurigro | and I'm always tempted to say yes, becaues I am, technically | Nov 17 13:18 |

DaemonFC | he's not witty | Nov 17 13:21 |
DaemonFC | he's just stupid and in your face and offensive | Nov 17 13:22 |
DaemonFC | he has every bad quality of Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly | Nov 17 13:22 |
DaemonFC | just on the other side | Nov 17 13:22 |
prurigro | yea, I really disliked when he went into what's his face (head of the NRA) | Nov 17 13:22 |
prurigro | house | Nov 17 13:22 |
prurigro | and started accusing him of all sorts of stuff | Nov 17 13:22 |
DaemonFC | there's nothing wrong with the NRA, other than that it tends to attract nut cases in some situations | Nov 17 13:23 |
DaemonFC | there are lobbyist groups to fight for our civil liberties | Nov 17 13:23 |
DaemonFC | and for our rights on the internet, like EFF | Nov 17 13:23 |
prurigro | and yup- that pretty much sums it up, though I feel like Glen is a bit more self serving in his approach than Bill or Michael | Nov 17 13:23 |
DaemonFC | and the NRA is no different | Nov 17 13:23 |
DaemonFC | they fight in court to preserve a constitutional right | Nov 17 13:23 |
DaemonFC | and that's a good thing | Nov 17 13:23 |
DaemonFC | fighting government power grabs against individuals is always a good thing | Nov 17 13:23 |
prurigro | its like going to Dr Shulgin's house and harassing him because some kid took too much street ecstacy and died of a heat stroke after dancing all night without water (cuz they charge so much at raves) | Nov 17 13:24 |
DaemonFC | The tenth amendment to the US constitution says that all powers not explicitly granted to the federal government, nor denied to the states, belong with the people | Nov 17 13:24 |
DaemonFC | it would be nice to see the government actually working like that some time | Nov 17 13:25 |
prurigro | in what respect? | Nov 17 13:25 |
prurigro | not sure I see how it connects | Nov 17 13:25 |
DaemonFC | which means that there are additional rights, granted to individuals, by the US constitution, that were supposed to be so obvious that they shouldn't need to spell them all out | Nov 17 13:25 |
DaemonFC | but apparently they should have | Nov 17 13:25 |
DaemonFC | then it would have been the first 100 amendments, instead of the first 10 | Nov 17 13:26 |
prurigro | lol, if not explicitly stated... are you taking about something specific though? | Nov 17 13:26 |
DaemonFC | yes | Nov 17 13:26 |
prurigro | hither forth! =D | Nov 17 13:26 |
DaemonFC | the US supreme court has been accused of judicial activism in granting rights not specifically stated in the constitution | Nov 17 13:26 |
DaemonFC | but rights which are valid and strongly inferred by existing text in the constitution | Nov 17 13:27 |
prurigro | oh, so they do follow it, but get in trouble? | Nov 17 13:27 |
DaemonFC | there's no explicit "right to privacy", but the fourth amendment suggests that it was intended | Nov 17 13:27 |
DaemonFC | so the court told the states they can't bust into peoples houses to arrest two adults for having consentual sex | Nov 17 13:28 |
DaemonFC | rulings like that should come down more often than they do | Nov 17 13:28 |
DaemonFC | the goal of the constitution, which failed miserably, was to keep the federal government small | Nov 17 13:29 |
DaemonFC | like, 1/10th the size it is now | Nov 17 13:29 |
prurigro | I feel like the media's divided the people and pitted them against each other, in part, because it means that 75% of the population are less likely to be able to get together and decide to amend the Constitution with something to that respect | Nov 17 13:29 |
DaemonFC | and largely out of direct influence over the day to day lives of the average citizen | Nov 17 13:29 |
prurigro | since media outlets all seem to be tied to one of the two major parties in the US | Nov 17 13:29 |
prurigro | or a corporation with those ties | Nov 17 13:29 |
DaemonFC | now you have them saying they can force you to buy health insurance | Nov 17 13:30 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 13:30 |
prurigro | well I mean, health care isn't a bad thing for them to have provided | Nov 17 13:30 |
DaemonFC | that isn't unconstitional at a state level unless the state's constitution forbids it | Nov 17 13:30 |
prurigro | but the government should never force you to buy a product from a company | Nov 17 13:30 |
DaemonFC | Massachussetts already had this requirement | Nov 17 13:30 |
prurigro | if its coming from your taxes, it should be provided by the government itself | Nov 17 13:30 |
DaemonFC | every state requires you to buy car insurance to drive | Nov 17 13:30 |
DaemonFC | the federal government would be overreaching if they made it mandatory at that level | Nov 17 13:31 |
DaemonFC | just as they overreached with the healthcare law | Nov 17 13:31 |
prurigro | yes, but this is if you want to drive | Nov 17 13:31 |
prurigro | you can choose not to | Nov 17 13:31 |
DaemonFC | it's times like these I wish I was a federal judge | Nov 17 13:31 |
*XFaCE has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) | Nov 17 13:31 | |
prurigro | the healthcare law wasn't so much overreaching as it was not reaching enough, but also in a completely incorrect direction | Nov 17 13:31 |
DaemonFC | software patents out | Nov 17 13:32 |
DaemonFC | individual purchasing mandates out | Nov 17 13:32 |
DaemonFC | incorporation clause in, within the confines of the federal constitution, not federal statute | Nov 17 13:32 |
prurigro | the government should be redesigned, taxes should provide at a bare minimum the things you need to succeed- education, health care, fire, police | Nov 17 13:32 |
DaemonFC | the incorporation clause is something I agree with | Nov 17 13:33 |
prurigro | anything else like military or science should be optional boxes | Nov 17 13:33 |
prurigro | you can check | Nov 17 13:33 |
DaemonFC | it states that US federal constitutional law binds the states | Nov 17 13:33 |
DaemonFC | and overrides anything they do | Nov 17 13:33 |
DaemonFC | I don't think federal statutory laws should apply the same way | Nov 17 13:33 |
prurigro | that's probably why california is so schizophrenic about marijuana | Nov 17 13:33 |
prurigro | hmm agreed | Nov 17 13:34 |
prurigro | that'd fix the marijuana issue | Nov 17 13:34 |
DaemonFC | I think if a state wants to legalize marijuana, the DEA should have no jurisdiction over that drug in that state | Nov 17 13:34 |
prurigro | yup, if anything, change could happen much more slowly that way | Nov 17 13:35 |
DaemonFC | if things were running the way I think they should, the feds would only have jurisdiction in Washington DC, federal property, and national parks | Nov 17 13:35 |
DaemonFC | unless they were invited in by the state in question | Nov 17 13:35 |
prurigro | and it wouldn't be the huge shock to the system legalizing marijuana, for example, would cause at the federal level | Nov 17 13:35 |
prurigro | haha | Nov 17 13:35 |
prurigro | well I mean | Nov 17 13:35 |
DaemonFC | unless a crime was committed across state lines | Nov 17 13:35 |
DaemonFC | of course | Nov 17 13:35 |
DaemonFC | then the FBI gets it | Nov 17 13:35 |
prurigro | do you not think that to realize a truly libertarian reality, you need some basic checks in place to ensure everyone gets the same initial opportunity, at least? | Nov 17 13:36 |
prurigro | and couldn't the federal government handle those things? | Nov 17 13:36 |
DaemonFC | I think that the further up the levels of government you go, the less able that layer is to represent the interests of a region | Nov 17 13:36 |
DaemonFC | and so it should not have the same powers as a regional or local government entity | Nov 17 13:37 |
prurigro | that's why I said basic | Nov 17 13:37 |
prurigro | education is required to succeed, and it should be paid all the way up to graduation from college | Nov 17 13:37 |
prurigro | if you fail a course and retake, that should be on you, sure | Nov 17 13:37 |
DaemonFC | in a sense, I think a weak federal system is the optimal system of government | Nov 17 13:37 |
prurigro | health is required to succeed | Nov 17 13:37 |
DaemonFC | not a system where the states are ultimately supreme, like in a confederacy | Nov 17 13:38 |
DaemonFC | but not where the federal layer is micromanaging, like in the US system currently | Nov 17 13:38 |
prurigro | not through some public option that simply adds the ability to go through some government mandated health insurance plan | Nov 17 13:38 |
prurigro | but to pay for any non-cosmetic, necessary medical procedures | Nov 17 13:39 |
DaemonFC | I think the state governments should have state government level health insurance pools | Nov 17 13:39 |
DaemonFC | not managed or funhded by the federal government at all | Nov 17 13:39 |
DaemonFC | *funded | Nov 17 13:39 |
DaemonFC | once you get federal funding you get the feds deciding who to take from | Nov 17 13:39 |
DaemonFC | and who to give it to | Nov 17 13:39 |
prurigro | the government should handle dividing out the cash | Nov 17 13:39 |
prurigro | so a poor state doesn't get shittier service than a rich one | Nov 17 13:39 |
prurigro | but yea, each state should be the ones taking care of implementation | Nov 17 13:40 |
prurigro | at that point | Nov 17 13:40 |
DaemonFC | I don't feel like getting taxes in Indiana to buy health insurance for people in California | Nov 17 13:40 |
DaemonFC | I think the pools should be at state level | Nov 17 13:40 |
DaemonFC | with each state taxing for and paying for its own needs | Nov 17 13:40 |
prurigro | why should your standard of care be determined by the average GDP of a state? | Nov 17 13:40 |
prurigro | if one state thinks MRIs are more important than beds, sure | Nov 17 13:41 |
prurigro | but the idea that living in new orleans means I'm poor, and can't get a doctor for 12 hours | Nov 17 13:41 |
prurigro | well that's kinda shit | Nov 17 13:41 |
DaemonFC | well, you should move somewhere with a better system | Nov 17 13:41 |
DaemonFC | eventually your politicians will get the picture | Nov 17 13:41 |
prurigro | you're all in the states | Nov 17 13:41 |
DaemonFC | or the state will be populated by leeches and parasites who can't afford a decent system | Nov 17 13:42 |
prurigro | your way involves certain areas slowly becoming uninhabited | Nov 17 13:42 |
DaemonFC | I quite like the idea of turning the south into a leper colony | Nov 17 13:42 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 13:42 |
DaemonFC | sorry | Nov 17 13:42 |
DaemonFC | :D | Nov 17 13:42 |
prurigro | my way involves those areas having more opportunities because of a fair start, and eventually contributing the same as the rest | Nov 17 13:42 |
prurigro | and lol, well fair enough there | Nov 17 13:42 |
prurigro | maybe we could make a fundamentalist nutjob clause | Nov 17 13:43 |
prurigro | saying that god is in charge of any medical issues with them | Nov 17 13:43 |
DaemonFC | eventually the only people left will be the ones paying no taxes and expecting the government to do everything for them | Nov 17 13:43 |
DaemonFC | like the ones left behind during Katrina | Nov 17 13:43 |
DaemonFC | while the more responsible states say that people who don't have a disability and don't work don't get health insurance from the pool | Nov 17 13:44 |
prurigro | tax money can be sacrificed before a cross | Nov 17 13:44 |
DaemonFC | then they prosper and the south can become a total cesspool | Nov 17 13:44 |
DaemonFC | not that it's far from it | Nov 17 13:44 |
prurigro | there's no such thing as 'responsible' | Nov 17 13:44 |
prurigro | in that respect | Nov 17 13:44 |
prurigro | communities that grow up with amenities are going to be productive, period | Nov 17 13:44 |
prurigro | those that grow up without are going to wither and die | Nov 17 13:45 |
prurigro | you'll always have a few leeches and a few exceptional cases | Nov 17 13:45 |
DaemonFC | I say the people who don't work don't eat | Nov 17 13:45 |
DaemonFC | and the people who don't eat won't be needing health insurance for long | Nov 17 13:45 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 13:45 |
prurigro | lol | Nov 17 13:45 |
prurigro | well those people might have kids | Nov 17 13:45 |
prurigro | and those kids aren't going to be growing up in a very happy environment | Nov 17 13:45 |
prurigro | you're ignoring a problem | Nov 17 13:46 |
prurigro | instead of fixing it | Nov 17 13:46 |
DaemonFC | no I'm not | Nov 17 13:46 |
DaemonFC | eventually Louisiana will look much like sub-saharan Africa | Nov 17 13:46 |
DaemonFC | I admit that | Nov 17 13:46 |
DaemonFC | but Indiana will be doing fine | Nov 17 13:46 |
prurigro | and you don't think it'll start to bleed? | Nov 17 13:46 |
DaemonFC | :D | Nov 17 13:46 |
DaemonFC | well, if they don't want that future, they can stop cashign welfare checks | Nov 17 13:47 |
DaemonFC | and put on their work boots | Nov 17 13:47 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't be a popular politician | Nov 17 13:48 |
DaemonFC | politicians that say no to people wanting handouts don't get elected | Nov 17 13:48 |
DaemonFC | even the ones that claim to say no never turn down the big special interests, like the AARP | Nov 17 13:48 |
prurigro | its not that simple | Nov 17 13:51 |
prurigro | welfare is a broken system that traps people | Nov 17 13:51 |
prurigro | the way it is | Nov 17 13:51 |
*sebsebseb (~3seb@unaffiliated/sebsebseb) has joined #techrights | Nov 17 13:52 | |

sebsebseb | hi | Nov 17 13:52 |
prurigro | I understand your argument, but I've studied this and its a systemic issue, not one of being lazy-- the question is, do you want to slowly let the country rot and fester around you, or do you want to contribute a bit more than your share right now to start correcting problems for the future? | Nov 17 13:54 |
prurigro | I suppose it comes down to who you see as 'your people' | Nov 17 14:00 |
prurigro | Americans? People from the same state as you? | Nov 17 14:00 |

*bluebomber (~michael@pool-72-91-109-44.tampfl.fios.verizon.net) has joined #techrights | Nov 17 14:36 | |
DaemonFC | the newer hardware, like with Nouveau, performs slower, because the open source drivers are less optimized for them at this point | Nov 17 14:36 |
DaemonFC | the game is quite playable on r700 cards | Nov 17 14:37 |
DaemonFC | but barely playable at all on the latest "r900" models | Nov 17 14:37 |
DaemonFC | it doesn't surprise me really | Nov 17 14:38 |
DaemonFC | most of those cards won't even do anything at all for you without at least Linux 3.0 and Mesa 7.11 | Nov 17 14:39 |
DaemonFC | the "r800" Evergreen hardware, like I have, is finally having the open source code mature | Nov 17 14:39 |
DaemonFC | it has been around in open source for just under two years now | Nov 17 14:40 |
DaemonFC | You can get r700 cards on Newegg for a song | Nov 17 14:40 |
DaemonFC | and they're so old and "refined" at this point that many of them have passive cooling | Nov 17 14:40 |
DaemonFC | which means no loud and noisy fan that is prone to fail | Nov 17 14:41 |

TechrightsBot-tr | @: | Nov 17 14:42 |
DaemonFC | it kind of confirms what I have suspected all along | Nov 17 14:42 |
DaemonFC | open source is nothing more than an exit strategy for when the card is a few years old and AMD no longer wants to support it with Catalyst | Nov 17 14:42 |
DaemonFC | You "can" run your brand new $400 card on it, but you wouldn't | Nov 17 14:43 |
DaemonFC | because it would be slower than something from 2005 | Nov 17 14:43 |
DaemonFC | open source is basically not an option until the card is 2-3 years old | Nov 17 14:44 |
DaemonFC | it is an option, but not a realistic one | Nov 17 14:44 |
DaemonFC | the evergreen card he shows here is misleading | Nov 17 14:44 |
DaemonFC | the closest corresponding r700 he shows is the 4770 | Nov 17 14:45 |
DaemonFC | so if you really consider it, at this point Evergreen is performing better than the r700 counterparts in open source | Nov 17 14:45 |
DaemonFC | he misleads as usual | Nov 17 14:45 |
DaemonFC | the 4850 is a faster card than the 5750 | Nov 17 14:46 |
DaemonFC | it just doesn't support DirectX 11 | Nov 17 14:46 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 14:46 |
DaemonFC | the r700 cards support DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3 | Nov 17 14:46 |
DaemonFC | and other than Evergreen supporting DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.2, there's not much difference | Nov 17 14:47 |
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[rysiek/@rysiek] ♻ @alek: @MichalBoni will head Poland's new Ministry of Administration and Digitization, great news for Polish digital society. | Nov 17 14:47 | |
DaemonFC | Evergreens are more power efficient than their r700 counterparts | Nov 17 14:47 |
DaemonFC | to the tune of about 15-20% | Nov 17 14:47 |
DaemonFC | and the hardware design is optimized a bit more | Nov 17 14:47 |
DaemonFC | so each model's Evergreen counterpart will also perform 5-10% faster | Nov 17 14:48 |
DaemonFC | there's no major urgent reason to go buy a corresponding Evergreen as an upgrade, unless you're feeling....green? | Nov 17 14:49 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 17 14:49 |

DaemonFC | prurigro: It goes back to my theory that we should let the states do more of what they want to do | Nov 17 14:54 |
DaemonFC | you'll end up with leper colonies to the south | Nov 17 14:55 |
DaemonFC | super high taxes in the East | Nov 17 14:55 |
DaemonFC | and lots of jobs coming to Indiana | Nov 17 14:55 |
DaemonFC | since the welfare cases in Lousiana won't want to work | Nov 17 14:55 |
DaemonFC | and the taxes will be too high for businesses to set up along the northern part of the US east coast | Nov 17 14:56 |
DaemonFC | Indiana wins | Nov 17 14:56 |
DaemonFC | put Texas in charge of the electric grid and watch most states get electricity for 6 cents per kilowatt hour | Nov 17 14:57 |
DaemonFC | while Massachusetts charges like $1 | Nov 17 14:57 |
DaemonFC | put the states in charge | Nov 17 14:57 |
DaemonFC | let everyone there get what they think they want | Nov 17 14:57 |
