DaemonFC | LOL | Sep 28 06:30 |
DaemonFC | They still have it. | Sep 28 06:31 |
DaemonFC | They just blurred out the entire naked woman. | Sep 28 06:32 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Someone I know has liens on all his cars because of back child support. | Sep 28 06:45 |
DaemonFC | He had one that was really old that he didn't need, and he wanted to sell it, but the state wouldn't release the title. | Sep 28 06:45 |
*schestowitz_mob has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Sep 28 06:45 | |
DaemonFC | So I called around to some scrap metal salvage companies, and found one that would pay him $400 to crush and recycle the car without asking for the title. | Sep 28 06:46 |
oiaohm | So MinceR is around? | Sep 28 06:50 |
DaemonFC | Usually | Sep 28 06:51 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: he is sometime in sometime out | Sep 28 06:51 |
DaemonFC | Indiana has some fucked up laws. | Sep 28 06:52 |
oiaohm | MinceR: XDC2013 David Herrmann - DRM Security video would be a very good watch. | Sep 28 06:52 |
DaemonFC | They won't let you sell your vehicles to pay your child support. | Sep 28 06:52 |
oiaohm | MinceR: shows many of the reasons why I say X11 has to die | Sep 28 06:52 |
DaemonFC | If you have a professional license, they will revoke it, so you lose your good paying job that could pay your child support. | Sep 28 06:52 |
DaemonFC | When they cause you to get so far behind that you can't pay it, they put you in prison. | Sep 28 06:52 |
DaemonFC | The only thing that saved his bacon is that he has a good paying job that only required a high school diploma, which is rare. | Sep 28 06:53 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: so they don't allow you todo the wage ganashed by boss with a professional license to keep it. | Sep 28 06:53 |
DaemonFC | So there's nothing the state can really do to mess that up for him. | Sep 28 06:53 |
DaemonFC | And his son turned 18, so the new child support debt stopped and he's making progress with the back payments now. | Sep 28 06:54 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, No. They just revoke your license. | Sep 28 06:54 |
DaemonFC | Then you're working at McDonalds or Walmart or something. | Sep 28 06:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: Ok they sux balls over there. | Sep 28 06:54 |
DaemonFC | And you might have had a $30 an hour job they could garnish if they hadn't revoked your license. | Sep 28 06:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: Australia if you don't agree to having your wage ganashed they take license. | Sep 28 06:55 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: if you have not been paying. | Sep 28 06:55 |
oiaohm | So minorally more fair. | Sep 28 06:55 |
oiaohm | Problem is they can ganahey wages to 10 dollars under unemployment rate. | Sep 28 06:55 |
DaemonFC | I knew a guy that owed so much child support that he started working off the books to get the state to stop garnishing him. | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | I paid him to work on my car a few years ago. | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | The shop wanted like $400 to fix something, and he said he'd do it if I brought him the parts and paid him $100 for the work. | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | So it ended up costing me $150 instead. | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | That works. :) | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | It's always good to know someone that's a shade tree mechanic that works off the books for whatever reason. | Sep 28 06:57 |
DaemonFC | I had him replace my car's radiator too. | Sep 28 06:58 |
DaemonFC | Shop wanted $500. | Sep 28 06:58 |
DaemonFC | I ended up paying like $300. | Sep 28 06:58 |
DaemonFC | Car repair will give you a serious financial buzz cut. | Sep 28 06:58 |
DaemonFC | I'm just trying to keep my piece of shit running cheaply for the next year or two while I save money to buy something newer. | Sep 28 06:59 |
DaemonFC | Those shops charge so much money that sometimes it's cheaper to buy a new car than to fix what you've got. | Sep 28 06:59 |
DaemonFC | I'm just glad that Indiana doesn't have smog checks or safety inspections. | Sep 28 07:00 |
DaemonFC | If this was California, it probably wouldn't even be legal to operate the car I have. | Sep 28 07:00 |
DaemonFC | It gave me a good scare last year. It started idling rough. | Sep 28 07:01 |
DaemonFC | I hooked up a code scanner and it said that the MAF sensor was bad. | Sep 28 07:02 |
DaemonFC | So I took the MAF sensor off and sprayed it down with a cleaning solvent, and plugged it back in, cleared the code. | Sep 28 07:02 |
DaemonFC | It hasn't come back. | Sep 28 07:02 |
DaemonFC | Ford tries to stop you from cleaning it by securing it with a Torx screw with a blob of epoxy in the head. | Sep 28 07:03 |
DaemonFC | It took me more than an hour to scrape out the epoxy before I could get the MAF sensor off. | Sep 28 07:03 |
DaemonFC | While I was messing around with that, I also cleaned out the throttle body and plate. | Sep 28 07:03 |
DaemonFC | The starter motor and alternator went out. I managed to fix those with junkyard parts. | Sep 28 07:04 |
DaemonFC | The guy said go out and pick whatever I needed. | Sep 28 07:04 |
DaemonFC | The starter and alternator were only like $10 each that way. | Sep 28 07:04 |
DaemonFC | I called down to NAPA first and asked them to price out an alternator for me. | Sep 28 07:05 |
DaemonFC | That's a $290 part all by itself. | Sep 28 07:05 |
DaemonFC | I managed to pick one from a 1993 Taurus that had been wrecked. | Sep 28 07:06 |
DaemonFC | Ever since then when something breaks, I go find a junkyard part. | Sep 28 07:06 |
DaemonFC | I'm done putting lots of money into this thing. :P | Sep 28 07:06 |
DaemonFC | It just needs to run for another year or two and then I'll probably buy a 2006-2007 model Taurus to replace it with. | Sep 28 07:07 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, I understand that Australia has a minimum wage of like $14 an hour. | Sep 28 07:18 |
DaemonFC | They keep saying that if we did that here, it would "destroy jobs". | Sep 28 07:18 |
DaemonFC | I don't really think that would happen. Most of the jobs that would be affected are ones you really have to have someone physically present to do. | Sep 28 07:19 |
DaemonFC | A lot of people have been tricked into getting college degrees, and then they don't find any good jobs later. | Sep 28 07:23 |
DaemonFC | Someone I know is so far deep into student debt that they're garnishing him down to minimum wage x 30 hours. | Sep 28 07:23 |
DaemonFC | I understand that it's not uncommon. | Sep 28 07:23 |
DaemonFC | I just wonder how people are managing to get by despite every nasty thing that's going on these days. | Sep 28 07:23 |
DaemonFC | After a while, there's just nothing left to cut. | Sep 28 07:24 |

DaemonFC | These people on Craigslist are nuts. | Sep 28 09:49 |
DaemonFC | $2,000 for a 1999 minivan with 180,000 miles. | Sep 28 09:49 |
DaemonFC | I would be unwilling to pay a lot more than crush value for something like that. | Sep 28 09:50 |
oiaohm | I guess no new engine. | Sep 28 09:50 |
DaemonFC | Because it will last a few years and then it will get too expensive to justify maintaining, and it will have to be crushed. | Sep 28 09:50 |
oiaohm | minivan with 180.000 but with a new engine like 2 to 3 years back would still be worth that. | Sep 28 09:51 |
DaemonFC | Well, if I had no vehicle and someone said they had a van like that, I'd pay about $1,000-$1,200 for it. | Sep 28 09:51 |
DaemonFC | original everything I suppose | Sep 28 09:51 |
DaemonFC | they usually point out any engine or transmission rebuilds | Sep 28 09:51 |
DaemonFC | If they have the documentation, that increases the value. | Sep 28 09:51 |
oiaohm | It also reduces the cost of parts. | Sep 28 09:51 |
oiaohm | minivans are one of the few car type with close to standard engine mounts. | Sep 28 09:52 |
DaemonFC | If they said they wanted $2000 and had documentation that the engine and transmission had been rebuilt, I'd pay $2,000 or more. | Sep 28 09:52 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: I was talking engine replace with more modern version. | Sep 28 09:52 |
DaemonFC | You have to watch out though. Engine rebuilds are only as reliable as the mechanic that did the work. | Sep 28 09:52 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: the other I like for easy engine replacement is anything built on standard dune buggy chassie. | Sep 28 09:53 |
oiaohm | Yes the old BW beatle chassie. | Sep 28 09:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: rebuilds normally don't interest me that much. | Sep 28 09:54 |
DaemonFC | Rebuilds are only worth if if the body of the vehicle is in good shape. | Sep 28 09:55 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: problem with a rebuild the same age is the getting parts is still too hard on a 10 year old engine. | Sep 28 09:55 |
DaemonFC | If you can do the rebuilds for a few thousand dollars and the vehicle will go another 10 years, you should do it. | Sep 28 09:55 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't get into it with my car because the body is being eaten by rust. | Sep 28 09:55 |
oiaohm | a few thousand dollars on the engine normally can get you a max of a 5 year old engine. | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | I don't think it's a good thing to expect my car to be driveable for more than another few years. | Sep 28 09:56 |
oiaohm | Low milage here DaemonFC | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | I'm at the point where I'm doing minimal maintenance. | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | If it costs me $500-600 to keep it going another 3 years, then that's alright. | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't want to get much deeper than that. | Sep 28 09:57 |
DaemonFC | I'm setting back about $500 a month that I'm not allowing myself to touch. | Sep 28 09:57 |
DaemonFC | When this car breaks down, I should be able to afford something much nicer. | Sep 28 09:57 |
DaemonFC | No bank will give me a loan, so setting back money is the only thing I can do. | Sep 28 09:58 |
DaemonFC | I guess that's not such a bad thing. | Sep 28 09:58 |
DaemonFC | At least 100% of the money is going to buy the car, instead of interest to a bank. | Sep 28 09:58 |
DaemonFC | You get a loan from a bank for $10,000, you're looking as a few thousand dollars more just on the interest. | Sep 28 09:59 |
DaemonFC | I'd rather save myself that expense and just drive this rustbucket into the ground while I save up. | Sep 28 09:59 |

DaemonFC | The seatbelt and driver door latch were both broken, so I went to the local junkyard and picked a seatbelt and a door latch for like $30. | Sep 28 10:04 |
DaemonFC | I'm not opposed to driving an old car, it's the mileage that really concerns me. | Sep 28 10:05 |

DaemonFC | That and the condition of the body. | Sep 28 10:05 |
DaemonFC | If you can pick a car that has been garaged and seldom driven for under $1,000 and make some minor repairs, you got a good deal. | Sep 28 10:05 |
DaemonFC | The problem is that everyone knows that, so it's a race to get over there with the cash. | Sep 28 10:06 |

DaemonFC | My dad sold it to me for $500. | Sep 28 10:16 |
DaemonFC | He had it since it was new. It had 215,000 miles on it when I got it. I got it up to a little over 290 before it had major engine trouble. | Sep 28 10:17 |
DaemonFC | I used it for a long commute. | Sep 28 10:17 |
DaemonFC | My favorite car that I've ever owned was a 1995 Chevrolet Corsica. | Sep 28 10:24 |
DaemonFC | It had the 3.1 liter V6. | Sep 28 10:24 |
DaemonFC | They don't look like much, but with that engine in them, they really get up and go. | Sep 28 10:24 |
DaemonFC | You know the V6 was a better engine than the inline 4 because you don't see many around anymore that had the inline 4. | Sep 28 10:25 |
DaemonFC | 4 cylinder engine that's not made by Honda or Toyota = disposable car. | Sep 28 10:26 |

Not to bash on Canonical, but their marketing and community relations are a real problem. There's no reason a private distro shouldn't be able to say "we're doing a lot of work in house, and we need fast adoption of changes, so we're rolling our own," but Canonical's messaging was all over the map, and as a | Sep 28 21:58 |

DaemonFC | They still have it. | Sep 28 01:31 |
DaemonFC | They just blurred out the entire naked woman. | Sep 28 01:32 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Someone I know has liens on all his cars because of back child support. | Sep 28 01:45 |
DaemonFC | He had one that was really old that he didn't need, and he wanted to sell it, but the state wouldn't release the title. | Sep 28 01:45 |
<--schestowitz_mob has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Sep 28 01:45 | |
DaemonFC | So I called around to some scrap metal salvage companies, and found one that would pay him $400 to crush and recycle the car without asking for the title. | Sep 28 01:46 |
oiaohm | So MinceR is around? | Sep 28 01:50 |
DaemonFC | Usually | Sep 28 01:51 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: he is sometime in sometime out | Sep 28 01:51 |
DaemonFC | Indiana has some fucked up laws. | Sep 28 01:52 |
oiaohm | MinceR: XDC2013 David Herrmann - DRM Security video would be a very good watch. | Sep 28 01:52 |
DaemonFC | They won't let you sell your vehicles to pay your child support. | Sep 28 01:52 |
oiaohm | MinceR: shows many of the reasons why I say X11 has to die | Sep 28 01:52 |
DaemonFC | If you have a professional license, they will revoke it, so you lose your good paying job that could pay your child support. | Sep 28 01:52 |
DaemonFC | When they cause you to get so far behind that you can't pay it, they put you in prison. | Sep 28 01:52 |
DaemonFC | The only thing that saved his bacon is that he has a good paying job that only required a high school diploma, which is rare. | Sep 28 01:53 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: so they don't allow you todo the wage ganashed by boss with a professional license to keep it. | Sep 28 01:53 |
DaemonFC | So there's nothing the state can really do to mess that up for him. | Sep 28 01:53 |
DaemonFC | And his son turned 18, so the new child support debt stopped and he's making progress with the back payments now. | Sep 28 01:54 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, No. They just revoke your license. | Sep 28 01:54 |
DaemonFC | Then you're working at McDonalds or Walmart or something. | Sep 28 01:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: Ok they sux balls over there. | Sep 28 01:54 |
DaemonFC | And you might have had a $30 an hour job they could garnish if they hadn't revoked your license. | Sep 28 01:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: Australia if you don't agree to having your wage ganashed they take license. | Sep 28 01:55 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: if you have not been paying. | Sep 28 01:55 |
oiaohm | So minorally more fair. | Sep 28 01:55 |
oiaohm | Problem is they can ganahey wages to 10 dollars under unemployment rate. | Sep 28 01:55 |
DaemonFC | I knew a guy that owed so much child support that he started working off the books to get the state to stop garnishing him. | Sep 28 01:56 |
DaemonFC | I paid him to work on my car a few years ago. | Sep 28 01:56 |
DaemonFC | The shop wanted like $400 to fix something, and he said he'd do it if I brought him the parts and paid him $100 for the work. | Sep 28 01:56 |
DaemonFC | So it ended up costing me $150 instead. | Sep 28 01:56 |
DaemonFC | That works. :) | Sep 28 01:56 |
DaemonFC | It's always good to know someone that's a shade tree mechanic that works off the books for whatever reason. | Sep 28 01:57 |
DaemonFC | I had him replace my car's radiator too. | Sep 28 01:58 |
DaemonFC | Shop wanted $500. | Sep 28 01:58 |
DaemonFC | I ended up paying like $300. | Sep 28 01:58 |
DaemonFC | Car repair will give you a serious financial buzz cut. | Sep 28 01:58 |
DaemonFC | I'm just trying to keep my piece of shit running cheaply for the next year or two while I save money to buy something newer. | Sep 28 01:59 |
DaemonFC | Those shops charge so much money that sometimes it's cheaper to buy a new car than to fix what you've got. | Sep 28 01:59 |
DaemonFC | I'm just glad that Indiana doesn't have smog checks or safety inspections. | Sep 28 02:00 |
DaemonFC | If this was California, it probably wouldn't even be legal to operate the car I have. | Sep 28 02:00 |
DaemonFC | It gave me a good scare last year. It started idling rough. | Sep 28 02:01 |
DaemonFC | I hooked up a code scanner and it said that the MAF sensor was bad. | Sep 28 02:02 |
DaemonFC | So I took the MAF sensor off and sprayed it down with a cleaning solvent, and plugged it back in, cleared the code. | Sep 28 02:02 |
DaemonFC | It hasn't come back. | Sep 28 02:02 |
DaemonFC | Ford tries to stop you from cleaning it by securing it with a Torx screw with a blob of epoxy in the head. | Sep 28 02:03 |
DaemonFC | It took me more than an hour to scrape out the epoxy before I could get the MAF sensor off. | Sep 28 02:03 |
DaemonFC | While I was messing around with that, I also cleaned out the throttle body and plate. | Sep 28 02:03 |
DaemonFC | The starter motor and alternator went out. I managed to fix those with junkyard parts. | Sep 28 02:04 |
DaemonFC | The guy said go out and pick whatever I needed. | Sep 28 02:04 |
DaemonFC | The starter and alternator were only like $10 each that way. | Sep 28 02:04 |
DaemonFC | I called down to NAPA first and asked them to price out an alternator for me. | Sep 28 02:05 |
DaemonFC | That's a $290 part all by itself. | Sep 28 02:05 |
DaemonFC | I managed to pick one from a 1993 Taurus that had been wrecked. | Sep 28 02:06 |
DaemonFC | Ever since then when something breaks, I go find a junkyard part. | Sep 28 02:06 |
DaemonFC | I'm done putting lots of money into this thing. :P | Sep 28 02:06 |
DaemonFC | It just needs to run for another year or two and then I'll probably buy a 2006-2007 model Taurus to replace it with. | Sep 28 02:07 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, I understand that Australia has a minimum wage of like $14 an hour. | Sep 28 02:18 |
DaemonFC | They keep saying that if we did that here, it would "destroy jobs". | Sep 28 02:18 |
DaemonFC | I don't really think that would happen. Most of the jobs that would be affected are ones you really have to have someone physically present to do. | Sep 28 02:19 |
DaemonFC | A lot of people have been tricked into getting college degrees, and then they don't find any good jobs later. | Sep 28 02:23 |
DaemonFC | Someone I know is so far deep into student debt that they're garnishing him down to minimum wage x 30 hours. | Sep 28 02:23 |
DaemonFC | I understand that it's not uncommon. | Sep 28 02:23 |
DaemonFC | I just wonder how people are managing to get by despite every nasty thing that's going on these days. | Sep 28 02:23 |
DaemonFC | After a while, there's just nothing left to cut. | Sep 28 02:24 |

DaemonFC | These people on Craigslist are nuts. | Sep 28 04:49 |
DaemonFC | $2,000 for a 1999 minivan with 180,000 miles. | Sep 28 04:49 |
DaemonFC | I would be unwilling to pay a lot more than crush value for something like that. | Sep 28 04:50 |
oiaohm | I guess no new engine. | Sep 28 04:50 |
DaemonFC | Because it will last a few years and then it will get too expensive to justify maintaining, and it will have to be crushed. | Sep 28 04:50 |
oiaohm | minivan with 180.000 but with a new engine like 2 to 3 years back would still be worth that. | Sep 28 04:51 |
DaemonFC | Well, if I had no vehicle and someone said they had a van like that, I'd pay about $1,000-$1,200 for it. | Sep 28 04:51 |
DaemonFC | original everything I suppose | Sep 28 04:51 |
DaemonFC | they usually point out any engine or transmission rebuilds | Sep 28 04:51 |
DaemonFC | If they have the documentation, that increases the value. | Sep 28 04:51 |
oiaohm | It also reduces the cost of parts. | Sep 28 04:51 |
oiaohm | minivans are one of the few car type with close to standard engine mounts. | Sep 28 04:52 |
DaemonFC | If they said they wanted $2000 and had documentation that the engine and transmission had been rebuilt, I'd pay $2,000 or more. | Sep 28 04:52 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: I was talking engine replace with more modern version. | Sep 28 04:52 |
DaemonFC | You have to watch out though. Engine rebuilds are only as reliable as the mechanic that did the work. | Sep 28 04:52 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: the other I like for easy engine replacement is anything built on standard dune buggy chassie. | Sep 28 04:53 |
oiaohm | Yes the old BW beatle chassie. | Sep 28 04:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: rebuilds normally don't interest me that much. | Sep 28 04:54 |
DaemonFC | Rebuilds are only worth if if the body of the vehicle is in good shape. | Sep 28 04:55 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: problem with a rebuild the same age is the getting parts is still too hard on a 10 year old engine. | Sep 28 04:55 |
DaemonFC | If you can do the rebuilds for a few thousand dollars and the vehicle will go another 10 years, you should do it. | Sep 28 04:55 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't get into it with my car because the body is being eaten by rust. | Sep 28 04:55 |
oiaohm | a few thousand dollars on the engine normally can get you a max of a 5 year old engine. | Sep 28 04:56 |
DaemonFC | I don't think it's a good thing to expect my car to be driveable for more than another few years. | Sep 28 04:56 |
oiaohm | Low milage here DaemonFC | Sep 28 04:56 |
DaemonFC | I'm at the point where I'm doing minimal maintenance. | Sep 28 04:56 |
DaemonFC | If it costs me $500-600 to keep it going another 3 years, then that's alright. | Sep 28 04:56 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't want to get much deeper than that. | Sep 28 04:57 |
DaemonFC | I'm setting back about $500 a month that I'm not allowing myself to touch. | Sep 28 04:57 |
DaemonFC | When this car breaks down, I should be able to afford something much nicer. | Sep 28 04:57 |
DaemonFC | No bank will give me a loan, so setting back money is the only thing I can do. | Sep 28 04:58 |
DaemonFC | I guess that's not such a bad thing. | Sep 28 04:58 |
DaemonFC | At least 100% of the money is going to buy the car, instead of interest to a bank. | Sep 28 04:58 |
DaemonFC | You get a loan from a bank for $10,000, you're looking as a few thousand dollars more just on the interest. | Sep 28 04:59 |
DaemonFC | I'd rather save myself that expense and just drive this rustbucket into the ground while I save up. | Sep 28 04:59 |

DaemonFC | I found a deal on a 1989 Buick that a former neighbor of mine wanted rid of. | Sep 28 05:00 |
DaemonFC | The guy was 96 years old and he didn't have his license anymore. | Sep 28 05:00 |
DaemonFC | So he sold the thing to me for $500 and I asked him not to fill out the title completely. | Sep 28 05:01 |
DaemonFC | I titled it over to my stepdad and he gave me the $500 back. | Sep 28 05:01 |

DaemonFC | It would be satisfying to buy a new car with cash. | Sep 28 08:56 |
DaemonFC | They like to get you financed because it's where they make most of their money. | Sep 28 08:56 |
DaemonFC | The price of the car really isn't making them a lot of profit, it's when they finance you at like 9 or 10% APR. | Sep 28 08:56 |
DaemonFC | If you finance a $15,000 car for five years of payments at 10%, you're going to pay about $19,100 by the time the payments end. | Sep 28 08:58 |

Xan_ | Hi all. | Sep 28 09:56 |
MinceR | :) | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | So I said "No. We hate money. We can't stand having money. In fact, I've got a whole pile of money just sitting here and I'm going to take it out back and pour gasoline all over it and burn it if you don't take it all right this minute!" | Sep 28 09:56 |
Xan_ | D: | Sep 28 09:57 |
DaemonFC | So then he was like "Well, I'm just trying to save you some money...". | Sep 28 09:58 |
DaemonFC | So I said "I don't like saving money. I want you to have all of it. In fact, I'm going to write you out a blank check and sign it and you just fill in however much you want to take." | Sep 28 09:59 |
Xan_ | Did he understand the sarcasm? | Sep 28 09:59 |
DaemonFC | Yeah. | Sep 28 09:59 |
DaemonFC | He told me to have a nice day and hung up on me. | Sep 28 09:59 |
Xan_ | XD Wow. | Sep 28 09:59 |
Xan_ | I had a question for ya'll. Does anyone here write the articles on, or is critical of, the International Standards Organization? | Sep 28 10:00 |
iophk | Roy wrote about them a while back during the OOXML scandals. | Sep 28 10:00 |
iophk | My take was that part of the scandal process from M$ was intended to weaken ISO | Sep 28 10:01 |
Xan_ | See, I'm critical of ISO because of a political monopoly they hold. I wasn't aware they held a technological monopoly as well. | Sep 28 10:01 |
Xan_ | So I found this website and was quite curious. | Sep 28 10:01 |
iophk | Discredit ISO and thus its standards. then by projection all standards. | Sep 28 10:01 |
Xan_ | Did you know that if you're not a member of the United Nations then ISO won't grant you a 3166-1 code? And without a 3166-1 code your country can't send/receive mail, make/receive telephone calls, obtain a TLD, etc. | Sep 28 10:02 |
Xan_ | It's rediculous. | Sep 28 10:02 |
Xan_ | If ISO don't like you they could theoretically remove your country's ISO-3166-1 code and turn you into a black hole. | Sep 28 10:03 |
iophk | Can you give an example of a country left out of ISO-3166? | Sep 28 10:03 |
DaemonFC | Fedora only recently got around to removing support for some currency symbols that had been deprecated by the Euro. | Sep 28 10:04 |
Xan_ | In practice it doesn't happen, because most nations are UN member states. But I work with Native American and other indigenous groups who fight for independence, and as non-UN member states they can't get any ISO codes. One of the dire consequences of this is they aren't allowed to import medicine. | Sep 28 10:04 |
DaemonFC | Some of them had been removed upstream years ago, but Fedora was applying a patch to add them back. | Sep 28 10:04 |
DaemonFC | Hungary keeps saying it will switch to the Euro, but it doesn't meet the requirements to officially adopt it. | Sep 28 10:05 |
DaemonFC | There's nothing stopping them from making it their legal currency unofficially. | Sep 28 10:05 |
DaemonFC | Several countries use the Euro or US Dollar unofficially. | Sep 28 10:06 |
Xan_ | I dislike the Euro, if only because I think it is taking away culture. I miss the old things like the drachma. | Sep 28 10:06 |
DaemonFC | In fact, it helps the US economy when a country adopts the USD as their legal currency. | Sep 28 10:06 |
iophk | The ISO 3166 web page only mentions "country names in ISO 3166 come from United Nations sources" | Sep 28 10:06 |
Xan_ | Though ideally I'd prefer a full reserve currency. | Sep 28 10:06 |
DaemonFC | It creates more demand for US dollars. | Sep 28 10:06 |
Xan_ | Iophk, one moment let me get you a good example. | Sep 28 10:06 |
DaemonFC | So we couldn't stop them, but why would we? | Sep 28 10:06 |

iophk | In practice they'd have to lower their prices if the switch were official | Sep 28 10:09 |
MinceR | that's fun, they're handing TLDs out left and right now | Sep 28 10:09 |
MinceR | but not to non-UN member states? | Sep 28 10:09 |
MinceR | or did they cancel their plan to pollute the TLD space already? | Sep 28 10:09 |
Xan_ | If you're not a UN member state, which isn't very common but basically makes up all indigenous groups in the world. You can't do anything. | Sep 28 10:09 |
DaemonFC | MinceR> it would infringe on their precious freedom to run our economy into the ground. | Sep 28 10:09 |
iophk | I suppose it would be possible to flat out buy a TLD | Sep 28 10:09 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, LOL | Sep 28 10:09 |
iophk | outside of 3166 | Sep 28 10:10 |
DaemonFC | Set the printing press to maximum! Engage! | Sep 28 10:10 |
MinceR | :> | Sep 28 10:10 |
Xan_ | That's true, iophk. But look at phone calls. If someone wants to call the USA they dial +1, right? Well that +1 is granted by ISO. If the USA were no longer a UN member state nobody would be able to call the USA internationally because the +1 would be revoked. | Sep 28 10:10 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, The only country that has gotten away with massive currency manipulation without serious consequences (so far) is the United States, as far as I know. | Sep 28 10:11 |
Xan_ | Because, guess what, the International Telecommunication Union that grants codes is standardized by ISO and run by the UN. | Sep 28 10:11 |
DaemonFC | There's a lot of people willing to accept them despite all the funny business, so it stays strong, for now. | Sep 28 10:11 |
DaemonFC | If anyone sells oil that's not priced in USD, there will be, errm, consequences. | Sep 28 10:12 |
DaemonFC | So that helps. | Sep 28 10:12 |
DaemonFC | Gas prices have been on a really wild ride over the past few years. | Sep 28 10:13 |
DaemonFC | It's been as low as $1.76 a gallon and as much as $4.26 a gallon between 2008-present. | Sep 28 10:13 |
Xan_ | Go to Venezuela, it's literally 1.5 cents a gallon. | Sep 28 10:14 |
DaemonFC | It would have been nice to have a place to store like 500 gallons of it back when it was $1.76. | Sep 28 10:14 |
DaemonFC | My car does not get spectacular gas mileage. | Sep 28 10:15 |
DaemonFC | The only reason I'm getting away with it right now is because it doesn't get driven out of town all that often. | Sep 28 10:15 |
DaemonFC | I've thought about replacing it with a Honda when my finances improve. | Sep 28 10:16 |
Xan_ | How about a nice prius? :D | Sep 28 10:16 |
DaemonFC | When I'm done with that Taurus, it'll be ready to crush. | Sep 28 10:17 |
DaemonFC | If it hasn't disintegrated from rust already. | Sep 28 10:17 |

DaemonFC | Xan_, A Prius? No. | Sep 28 10:17 |
Xan_ | You have a Ford Taurus? | Sep 28 10:17 |
DaemonFC | Those are absurdly expensive. | Sep 28 10:17 |
DaemonFC | Even if I could come up with that much money, there'd be no point. | Sep 28 10:18 |
DaemonFC | It would eat up all my gas savings in the price of the car. | Sep 28 10:18 |
DaemonFC | Yes. | Sep 28 10:18 |
Xan_ | Civilian model or Police Interceptor? | Sep 28 10:18 |
DaemonFC | A 1995 Ford Taurus SHO. | Sep 28 10:18 |
Xan_ | Ohh, okay. The new Interceptor model is awesome. | Sep 28 10:18 |
DaemonFC | The cops here don't drive a Taurus anymore. | Sep 28 10:18 |
DaemonFC | They auctioned them all off and bought Dodge Chargers. | Sep 28 10:19 |
Xan_ | I'm never giving up my Crown Vic. I've tried the Charger and it's nice, but... Don't like the design. | Sep 28 10:19 |
DaemonFC | I was looking at buying an '04 Vic a few weeks ago. | Sep 28 10:19 |
Xan_ | I drive an '03. It's better milage than you'd expect. | Sep 28 10:19 |
DaemonFC | What stopped me was that the last owner beat the living shit out of it and it had a lot of problems. | Sep 28 10:19 |
DaemonFC | So, I found out why they only wanted $2,700 for it. | Sep 28 10:20 |
Xan_ | Ah, yeah. Could always get the money together for an '08 and use E85 ethonel to save money. | Sep 28 10:20 |
DaemonFC | E85 doesn't save money. | Sep 28 10:20 |
Xan_ | No? | Sep 28 10:20 |
DaemonFC | It has less energy potential per gallon than gasoline. | Sep 28 10:20 |
DaemonFC | If it reduces your fuel mileage by 27%, you're not saving money. | Sep 28 10:21 |
DaemonFC | :) | Sep 28 10:21 |
Xan_ | Ah >: | Sep 28 10:21 |
DaemonFC | I have used E85 in the Taurus though. | Sep 28 10:21 |
Xan_ | My friend has an electric car so, free fuel. | Sep 28 10:21 |
Xan_ | :P | Sep 28 10:21 |
DaemonFC | Not 100% E85. | Sep 28 10:21 |
DaemonFC | The SHO engine runs like shit on 87 octane. | Sep 28 10:22 |
DaemonFC | You're supposed to use 89 or 92. | Sep 28 10:22 |
Xan_ | Use 97/98 octane! | Sep 28 10:22 |
DaemonFC | So I just use 87 and put a bit of E85 in it. | Sep 28 10:22 |
DaemonFC | it brings the octane rating up without adding a fortune. | Sep 28 10:22 |
DaemonFC | It's not a flex fuel vehicle, but I seem to be getting away with using a little bit. | Sep 28 10:23 |
Xan_ | Solar cars in the USA are too expensive unfortunately. | Sep 28 10:23 |
Xan_ | Otherwise you're driving for free. | Sep 28 10:23 |
DaemonFC | It also prevents the fuel line from freezing in the winter. | Sep 28 10:23 |
DaemonFC | Several years ago, it got so cold here that I couldn't get my car to start. | Sep 28 10:23 |
Xan_ | >: | Sep 28 10:24 |
DaemonFC | So I've been using a higher amount of E85 in the winter and it hasn't happened again. | Sep 28 10:24 |
DaemonFC | It's just not possible to get good gas mileage without giving something else up. | Sep 28 10:25 |
DaemonFC | If you want to drive around in a little bitty clown car then you can get 40 mpg. | Sep 28 10:25 |
DaemonFC | That's why the Geo Metro is popular again. | Sep 28 10:25 |
Xan_ | Fsh. | Sep 28 10:25 |
DaemonFC | They haven't made them in more than 20 years, so people will buy ones that don't work for parts to keep theirs running. | Sep 28 10:25 |
Xan_ | The old cars don't get as good MPG than new cars. You can get 50mpg in a brand new BMW 5 series, and that's a full-sized sedan. | Sep 28 10:26 |
DaemonFC | The reason there are still so many gas guzzlers in the United States is because a lot of people (like me) just can't afford anything newer. | Sep 28 10:26 |
DaemonFC | By the time I can afford a car, it's more than 10 years old. | Sep 28 10:27 |
Xan_ | >: Aw. | Sep 28 10:27 |
Xan_ | I'm poor, too! | Sep 28 10:27 |
Xan_ | *Hugs* | Sep 28 10:27 |
DaemonFC | In 1995 nobody cared about gas mileage because gas was less than a dollar per gallon. | Sep 28 10:27 |
DaemonFC | Well, I'll be getting a newer old car here in a while. | Sep 28 10:28 |
DaemonFC | I could probably afford a 2005-2006 Taurus by April or May. | Sep 28 10:29 |

DaemonFC | I had a guy offer to sell me a 1999 Ford Explorer a while back. | Sep 28 10:29 |
DaemonFC | Nobody wants those anymore because they get 19 mpg on the highway. | Sep 28 10:30 |
Xan_ | Yeah, they're not too good. | Sep 28 10:30 |
DaemonFC | The engine isn't that great either. | Sep 28 10:31 |
DaemonFC | You'd think that the way it guzzles gas, it would be rated at something higher than 160 horsepower. | Sep 28 10:31 |
Xan_ | That's not that good. | Sep 28 10:32 |
DaemonFC | I drove that 2004 Crown Victoria about 30 miles to take it to a mechanic I trusted. | Sep 28 10:35 |
DaemonFC | I left with a little under a quarter of a tank, and it was near E by the time I got here. | Sep 28 10:35 |
DaemonFC | :P | Sep 28 10:35 |
Xan_ | O_o; Hrm. That's not very good. | Sep 28 10:35 |
DaemonFC | That was another reason I didn't buy it. | Sep 28 10:36 |
DaemonFC | It would need over $1,000 worth of work that I know of. | Sep 28 10:36 |
DaemonFC | and it guzzles gas like there's no tomorrow. | Sep 28 10:36 |
DaemonFC | I'd be filling up the tank so often that I wouldn't be able to afford to drive it. | Sep 28 10:36 |
Xan_ | >: Dang. | Sep 28 10:37 |
MinceR | you could try old foreign cars, from places where gas wasn't so cheap 10 years ago :> | Sep 28 10:39 |

roy_ | On the other hand, given that Intel has jumped ship, it seems like Ubuntu is going to have a hard time keeping ahold of the market. Not to bash on Canonical, but their marketing and community relations are a real problem. There's no reason a private distro shouldn't be able to say "we're doing a lot of work in house, and we need fast adoption of changes, so we're rolling our own," but Canonical's messaging was all over the map, and as a | Sep 28 16:58 |

_Goblin | its great its for Linux and all..... | Sep 28 17:04 |
DaemonFC | I do "surveys" while I'm in the middle of watching a movie or something. | Sep 28 17:05 |
_Goblin | but really? It's a little like me coming up to you and taking you out for a 5 star meal....that was prepared 5 years ago..... Bit of a double edged sword. | Sep 28 17:05 |
DaemonFC | It's hilarious really. All I do is tick things at random and hit next, and they pay me. | Sep 28 17:05 |

_Goblin | I mean creatively you are doing well.....legally, is that not fraud? | Sep 28 17:09 |
DaemonFC | Maybe. | Sep 28 17:09 |
_Goblin | in the UK it would be "Obtaining a pecuniary advantage" - Part of the Fraud act. | Sep 28 17:10 |
DaemonFC | In the US, we had a woman who got her "degree" from a mail order diploma mill. | Sep 28 17:10 |
DaemonFC | They even put her in charge of IT at the department of homeland security. | Sep 28 17:10 |

DaemonFC | I don't think there's anything left that the Indiana state government doesn't tax, except for some groceries and prescription medications. | Sep 28 17:15 |
DaemonFC | It's kind of odd that they tax fast food. | Sep 28 17:16 |
DaemonFC | There's a Subway restaurant in the Walmart. | Sep 28 17:16 |
DaemonFC | You get a sandwich there, they tax it. | Sep 28 17:16 |
DaemonFC | You go 20 feet over and grab a sub from the Walmart deli, and there's no tax. | Sep 28 17:16 |

schestowitz_mob | "Interesting. Cyanogen already wrote about this on their blog, but this article is a nice summary. Kondik should know: he’s attracted millions of users just by building the version of Android he himself wanted to use. That's not true, and unfair to th the many contributors who made cyanogen what it is. Its a community project, a team effort, very far from just one mans crusade as the article claims." | Sep 27 11:33 |

DaemonFC | LOL | Sep 28 06:30 |
DaemonFC | They still have it. | Sep 28 06:31 |
DaemonFC | They just blurred out the entire naked woman. | Sep 28 06:32 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Someone I know has liens on all his cars because of back child support. | Sep 28 06:45 |
DaemonFC | He had one that was really old that he didn't need, and he wanted to sell it, but the state wouldn't release the title. | Sep 28 06:45 |
*schestowitz_mob has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Sep 28 06:45 | |
DaemonFC | So I called around to some scrap metal salvage companies, and found one that would pay him $400 to crush and recycle the car without asking for the title. | Sep 28 06:46 |
oiaohm | So MinceR is around? | Sep 28 06:50 |
DaemonFC | Usually | Sep 28 06:51 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: he is sometime in sometime out | Sep 28 06:51 |
DaemonFC | Indiana has some fucked up laws. | Sep 28 06:52 |
oiaohm | MinceR: XDC2013 David Herrmann - DRM Security video would be a very good watch. | Sep 28 06:52 |
DaemonFC | They won't let you sell your vehicles to pay your child support. | Sep 28 06:52 |
oiaohm | MinceR: shows many of the reasons why I say X11 has to die | Sep 28 06:52 |
DaemonFC | If you have a professional license, they will revoke it, so you lose your good paying job that could pay your child support. | Sep 28 06:52 |
DaemonFC | When they cause you to get so far behind that you can't pay it, they put you in prison. | Sep 28 06:52 |
DaemonFC | The only thing that saved his bacon is that he has a good paying job that only required a high school diploma, which is rare. | Sep 28 06:53 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: so they don't allow you todo the wage ganashed by boss with a professional license to keep it. | Sep 28 06:53 |
DaemonFC | So there's nothing the state can really do to mess that up for him. | Sep 28 06:53 |
DaemonFC | And his son turned 18, so the new child support debt stopped and he's making progress with the back payments now. | Sep 28 06:54 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, No. They just revoke your license. | Sep 28 06:54 |
DaemonFC | Then you're working at McDonalds or Walmart or something. | Sep 28 06:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: Ok they sux balls over there. | Sep 28 06:54 |
DaemonFC | And you might have had a $30 an hour job they could garnish if they hadn't revoked your license. | Sep 28 06:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: Australia if you don't agree to having your wage ganashed they take license. | Sep 28 06:55 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: if you have not been paying. | Sep 28 06:55 |
oiaohm | So minorally more fair. | Sep 28 06:55 |
oiaohm | Problem is they can ganahey wages to 10 dollars under unemployment rate. | Sep 28 06:55 |
DaemonFC | I knew a guy that owed so much child support that he started working off the books to get the state to stop garnishing him. | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | I paid him to work on my car a few years ago. | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | The shop wanted like $400 to fix something, and he said he'd do it if I brought him the parts and paid him $100 for the work. | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | So it ended up costing me $150 instead. | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | That works. :) | Sep 28 06:56 |
DaemonFC | It's always good to know someone that's a shade tree mechanic that works off the books for whatever reason. | Sep 28 06:57 |
DaemonFC | I had him replace my car's radiator too. | Sep 28 06:58 |
DaemonFC | Shop wanted $500. | Sep 28 06:58 |
DaemonFC | I ended up paying like $300. | Sep 28 06:58 |
DaemonFC | Car repair will give you a serious financial buzz cut. | Sep 28 06:58 |
DaemonFC | I'm just trying to keep my piece of shit running cheaply for the next year or two while I save money to buy something newer. | Sep 28 06:59 |
DaemonFC | Those shops charge so much money that sometimes it's cheaper to buy a new car than to fix what you've got. | Sep 28 06:59 |
DaemonFC | I'm just glad that Indiana doesn't have smog checks or safety inspections. | Sep 28 07:00 |
DaemonFC | If this was California, it probably wouldn't even be legal to operate the car I have. | Sep 28 07:00 |
DaemonFC | It gave me a good scare last year. It started idling rough. | Sep 28 07:01 |
DaemonFC | I hooked up a code scanner and it said that the MAF sensor was bad. | Sep 28 07:02 |
DaemonFC | So I took the MAF sensor off and sprayed it down with a cleaning solvent, and plugged it back in, cleared the code. | Sep 28 07:02 |
DaemonFC | It hasn't come back. | Sep 28 07:02 |
DaemonFC | Ford tries to stop you from cleaning it by securing it with a Torx screw with a blob of epoxy in the head. | Sep 28 07:03 |
DaemonFC | It took me more than an hour to scrape out the epoxy before I could get the MAF sensor off. | Sep 28 07:03 |
DaemonFC | While I was messing around with that, I also cleaned out the throttle body and plate. | Sep 28 07:03 |
DaemonFC | The starter motor and alternator went out. I managed to fix those with junkyard parts. | Sep 28 07:04 |
DaemonFC | The guy said go out and pick whatever I needed. | Sep 28 07:04 |
DaemonFC | The starter and alternator were only like $10 each that way. | Sep 28 07:04 |
DaemonFC | I called down to NAPA first and asked them to price out an alternator for me. | Sep 28 07:05 |
DaemonFC | That's a $290 part all by itself. | Sep 28 07:05 |
DaemonFC | I managed to pick one from a 1993 Taurus that had been wrecked. | Sep 28 07:06 |
DaemonFC | Ever since then when something breaks, I go find a junkyard part. | Sep 28 07:06 |
DaemonFC | I'm done putting lots of money into this thing. :P | Sep 28 07:06 |
DaemonFC | It just needs to run for another year or two and then I'll probably buy a 2006-2007 model Taurus to replace it with. | Sep 28 07:07 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, I understand that Australia has a minimum wage of like $14 an hour. | Sep 28 07:18 |
DaemonFC | They keep saying that if we did that here, it would "destroy jobs". | Sep 28 07:18 |
DaemonFC | I don't really think that would happen. Most of the jobs that would be affected are ones you really have to have someone physically present to do. | Sep 28 07:19 |
DaemonFC | A lot of people have been tricked into getting college degrees, and then they don't find any good jobs later. | Sep 28 07:23 |
DaemonFC | Someone I know is so far deep into student debt that they're garnishing him down to minimum wage x 30 hours. | Sep 28 07:23 |
DaemonFC | I understand that it's not uncommon. | Sep 28 07:23 |
DaemonFC | I just wonder how people are managing to get by despite every nasty thing that's going on these days. | Sep 28 07:23 |
DaemonFC | After a while, there's just nothing left to cut. | Sep 28 07:24 |

DaemonFC | These people on Craigslist are nuts. | Sep 28 09:49 |
DaemonFC | $2,000 for a 1999 minivan with 180,000 miles. | Sep 28 09:49 |
DaemonFC | I would be unwilling to pay a lot more than crush value for something like that. | Sep 28 09:50 |
oiaohm | I guess no new engine. | Sep 28 09:50 |
DaemonFC | Because it will last a few years and then it will get too expensive to justify maintaining, and it will have to be crushed. | Sep 28 09:50 |
oiaohm | minivan with 180.000 but with a new engine like 2 to 3 years back would still be worth that. | Sep 28 09:51 |
DaemonFC | Well, if I had no vehicle and someone said they had a van like that, I'd pay about $1,000-$1,200 for it. | Sep 28 09:51 |
DaemonFC | original everything I suppose | Sep 28 09:51 |
DaemonFC | they usually point out any engine or transmission rebuilds | Sep 28 09:51 |
DaemonFC | If they have the documentation, that increases the value. | Sep 28 09:51 |
oiaohm | It also reduces the cost of parts. | Sep 28 09:51 |
oiaohm | minivans are one of the few car type with close to standard engine mounts. | Sep 28 09:52 |
DaemonFC | If they said they wanted $2000 and had documentation that the engine and transmission had been rebuilt, I'd pay $2,000 or more. | Sep 28 09:52 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: I was talking engine replace with more modern version. | Sep 28 09:52 |
DaemonFC | You have to watch out though. Engine rebuilds are only as reliable as the mechanic that did the work. | Sep 28 09:52 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: the other I like for easy engine replacement is anything built on standard dune buggy chassie. | Sep 28 09:53 |
oiaohm | Yes the old BW beatle chassie. | Sep 28 09:54 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: rebuilds normally don't interest me that much. | Sep 28 09:54 |
DaemonFC | Rebuilds are only worth if if the body of the vehicle is in good shape. | Sep 28 09:55 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: problem with a rebuild the same age is the getting parts is still too hard on a 10 year old engine. | Sep 28 09:55 |
DaemonFC | If you can do the rebuilds for a few thousand dollars and the vehicle will go another 10 years, you should do it. | Sep 28 09:55 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't get into it with my car because the body is being eaten by rust. | Sep 28 09:55 |
oiaohm | a few thousand dollars on the engine normally can get you a max of a 5 year old engine. | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | I don't think it's a good thing to expect my car to be driveable for more than another few years. | Sep 28 09:56 |
oiaohm | Low milage here DaemonFC | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | I'm at the point where I'm doing minimal maintenance. | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | If it costs me $500-600 to keep it going another 3 years, then that's alright. | Sep 28 09:56 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't want to get much deeper than that. | Sep 28 09:57 |
DaemonFC | I'm setting back about $500 a month that I'm not allowing myself to touch. | Sep 28 09:57 |
DaemonFC | When this car breaks down, I should be able to afford something much nicer. | Sep 28 09:57 |
DaemonFC | No bank will give me a loan, so setting back money is the only thing I can do. | Sep 28 09:58 |
DaemonFC | I guess that's not such a bad thing. | Sep 28 09:58 |
DaemonFC | At least 100% of the money is going to buy the car, instead of interest to a bank. | Sep 28 09:58 |
DaemonFC | You get a loan from a bank for $10,000, you're looking as a few thousand dollars more just on the interest. | Sep 28 09:59 |
DaemonFC | I'd rather save myself that expense and just drive this rustbucket into the ground while I save up. | Sep 28 09:59 |

DaemonFC | The guy was 96 years old and he didn't have his license anymore. | Sep 28 10:00 |
DaemonFC | So he sold the thing to me for $500 and I asked him not to fill out the title completely. | Sep 28 10:01 |

DaemonFC | He had it since it was new. It had 215,000 miles on it when I got it. I got it up to a little over 290 before it had major engine trouble. | Sep 28 10:17 |

oiaohm | iophk: ceo contracts are really evil. | Sep 28 10:52 |
iophk | Yeah. | Sep 28 10:52 |
iophk | There is also the stupidity of tying reward to stock price. | Sep 28 10:52 |
iophk | Share price has little to do with reality. | Sep 28 10:52 |
iophk | I'm not sure if it ever did. | Sep 28 10:52 |
iophk | In principle, share holders are part owners in the company but they never act like that any more, if they ever did. | Sep 28 10:53 |
oiaohm | they sometimes tdo. | Sep 28 10:53 |
oiaohm | but it rare that share holders team up to the magical 51 percent. | Sep 28 10:54 |

DaemonFC | I just got back from the supermarket. I bought way too much lunch meat last month because I had coupons. | Sep 28 13:50 |
DaemonFC | Ended up freezing most of it. | Sep 28 13:50 |
DaemonFC | So I got a bunch of stuff to make subs with. | Sep 28 13:50 |
DaemonFC | And that's what I'll be eating for the next week. | Sep 28 13:51 |
DaemonFC | My grocery budget is basically the last item with anything left to cut. | Sep 28 13:51 |
DaemonFC | I take a bunch of surveys under a false name to get those $50 prepaid visa cards. | Sep 28 13:53 |
DaemonFC | I've gone through enough of them to knock out the internet bill for the next couple of months. | Sep 28 13:54 |
DaemonFC | My goal is to have at least $4,000 in the car fund by January. | Sep 28 13:54 |
DaemonFC | Still pisses me off what's going on with the used car market. | Sep 28 13:54 |
DaemonFC | $4,000 worth of car is like $2,000 worth of car was in 2005. | Sep 28 13:54 |
DaemonFC | This is just ridiculous. | Sep 28 13:54 |
DaemonFC | Maybe I should just keep saving and scrimping and suffering for a few years and buy a brand new car with cash. | Sep 28 13:55 |
DaemonFC | I'm sure that guy at the Ford dealership would shit himself if I walked in and bought a new Ford Focus with $15,000 in $20s. | Sep 28 13:55 |
DaemonFC | It would be satisfying to buy a new car with cash. | Sep 28 13:56 |
DaemonFC | They like to get you financed because it's where they make most of their money. | Sep 28 13:56 |
DaemonFC | The price of the car really isn't making them a lot of profit, it's when they finance you at like 9 or 10% APR. | Sep 28 13:56 |
DaemonFC | If you finance a $15,000 car for five years of payments at 10%, you're going to pay about $19,100 by the time the payments end. | Sep 28 13:58 |
DaemonFC | If you saved up the monthly payment and paid in full, you'd be saving for just slightly under 4 years. | Sep 28 13:59 |
DaemonFC | I wonder what will be left of my poor Taurus in four years. | Sep 28 13:59 |
DaemonFC | *sputter sputter sputter backfire car dies* | Sep 28 14:00 |

DaemonFC | An AT&T telemarketer called wanting to know if they'd like to switch to AT&T "and save money". | Sep 28 14:56 |
Xan_ | Sounds legit, Daemon. | Sep 28 14:56 |
Xan_ | Hi all. | Sep 28 14:56 |
MinceR | :) | Sep 28 14:56 |
DaemonFC | So I said "No. We hate money. We can't stand having money. In fact, I've got a whole pile of money just sitting here and I'm going to take it out back and pour gasoline all over it and burn it if you don't take it all right this minute!" | Sep 28 14:56 |
Xan_ | D: | Sep 28 14:57 |
DaemonFC | So then he was like "Well, I'm just trying to save you some money...". | Sep 28 14:58 |
DaemonFC | So I said "I don't like saving money. I want you to have all of it. In fact, I'm going to write you out a blank check and sign it and you just fill in however much you want to take." | Sep 28 14:59 |
Xan_ | Did he understand the sarcasm? | Sep 28 14:59 |
DaemonFC | Yeah. | Sep 28 14:59 |
DaemonFC | He told me to have a nice day and hung up on me. | Sep 28 14:59 |
Xan_ | XD Wow. | Sep 28 14:59 |
Xan_ | I had a question for ya'll. Does anyone here write the articles on, or is critical of, the International Standards Organization? | Sep 28 15:00 |
iophk | Roy wrote about them a while back during the OOXML scandals. | Sep 28 15:00 |
iophk | My take was that part of the scandal process from M$ was intended to weaken ISO | Sep 28 15:01 |
Xan_ | See, I'm critical of ISO because of a political monopoly they hold. I wasn't aware they held a technological monopoly as well. | Sep 28 15:01 |
Xan_ | So I found this website and was quite curious. | Sep 28 15:01 |
iophk | Discredit ISO and thus its standards. then by projection all standards. | Sep 28 15:01 |
Xan_ | Did you know that if you're not a member of the United Nations then ISO won't grant you a 3166-1 code? And without a 3166-1 code your country can't send/receive mail, make/receive telephone calls, obtain a TLD, etc. | Sep 28 15:02 |
Xan_ | It's rediculous. | Sep 28 15:02 |
Xan_ | If ISO don't like you they could theoretically remove your country's ISO-3166-1 code and turn you into a black hole. | Sep 28 15:03 |
iophk | Can you give an example of a country left out of ISO-3166? | Sep 28 15:03 |
DaemonFC | Fedora only recently got around to removing support for some currency symbols that had been deprecated by the Euro. | Sep 28 15:04 |
Xan_ | In practice it doesn't happen, because most nations are UN member states. But I work with Native American and other indigenous groups who fight for independence, and as non-UN member states they can't get any ISO codes. One of the dire consequences of this is they aren't allowed to import medicine. | Sep 28 15:04 |
DaemonFC | Some of them had been removed upstream years ago, but Fedora was applying a patch to add them back. | Sep 28 15:04 |
DaemonFC | Hungary keeps saying it will switch to the Euro, but it doesn't meet the requirements to officially adopt it. | Sep 28 15:05 |
DaemonFC | There's nothing stopping them from making it their legal currency unofficially. | Sep 28 15:05 |
DaemonFC | Several countries use the Euro or US Dollar unofficially. | Sep 28 15:06 |
Xan_ | I dislike the Euro, if only because I think it is taking away culture. I miss the old things like the drachma. | Sep 28 15:06 |
DaemonFC | In fact, it helps the US economy when a country adopts the USD as their legal currency. | Sep 28 15:06 |
iophk | The ISO 3166 web page only mentions "country names in ISO 3166 come from United Nations sources" | Sep 28 15:06 |
Xan_ | Though ideally I'd prefer a full reserve currency. | Sep 28 15:06 |
DaemonFC | It creates more demand for US dollars. | Sep 28 15:06 |
Xan_ | Iophk, one moment let me get you a good example. | Sep 28 15:06 |
DaemonFC | So we couldn't stop them, but why would we? | Sep 28 15:06 |
DaemonFC | :) | Sep 28 15:06 |
MinceR | i don't think the hungarian government has any intention whatsoever to switch to the euro | Sep 28 15:08 |
MinceR | it would infringe on their precious freedom to run our economy into the ground. | Sep 28 15:08 |
Xan_ | Here's a good example, @iophk. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1591 | Sep 28 15:08 |
TechrightsBot-tr | tools.ietf.org | RFC 1591 - Domain Name System Structure and Delegation | Sep 28 15:08 |
iophk | MinceR: don't shops make a lot of money gouging on the informal exchange rate? | Sep 28 15:08 |
MinceR | it seems that orban is trying to get hungary kicked out of the eu | Sep 28 15:08 |
Xan_ | IANA will only grant your country a TLD if you have an ISO-3166-1 code. | Sep 28 15:08 |
MinceR | iophk: i suppose they do | Sep 28 15:08 |
iophk | In practice they'd have to lower their prices if the switch were official | Sep 28 15:09 |
MinceR | that's fun, they're handing TLDs out left and right now | Sep 28 15:09 |
MinceR | but not to non-UN member states? | Sep 28 15:09 |
MinceR | or did they cancel their plan to pollute the TLD space already? | Sep 28 15:09 |
Xan_ | If you're not a UN member state, which isn't very common but basically makes up all indigenous groups in the world. You can't do anything. | Sep 28 15:09 |
iophk | I suppose it would be possible to flat out buy a TLD | Sep 28 15:09 |
DaemonFC | MinceR> it would infringe on their precious freedom to run our economy into the ground. | Sep 28 15:09 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, LOL | Sep 28 15:09 |
iophk | outside of 3166 | Sep 28 15:10 |
DaemonFC | Set the printing press to maximum! Engage! | Sep 28 15:10 |
MinceR | :> | Sep 28 15:10 |
Xan_ | That's true, iophk. But look at phone calls. If someone wants to call the USA they dial +1, right? Well that +1 is granted by ISO. If the USA were no longer a UN member state nobody would be able to call the USA internationally because the +1 would be revoked. | Sep 28 15:10 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, The only country that has gotten away with massive currency manipulation without serious consequences (so far) is the United States, as far as I know. | Sep 28 15:11 |
Xan_ | Because, guess what, the International Telecommunication Union that grants codes is standardized by ISO and run by the UN. | Sep 28 15:11 |
DaemonFC | There's a lot of people willing to accept them despite all the funny business, so it stays strong, for now. | Sep 28 15:11 |
DaemonFC | If anyone sells oil that's not priced in USD, there will be, errm, consequences. | Sep 28 15:12 |
DaemonFC | So that helps. | Sep 28 15:12 |
DaemonFC | Gas prices have been on a really wild ride over the past few years. | Sep 28 15:13 |
DaemonFC | It's been as low as $1.76 a gallon and as much as $4.26 a gallon between 2008-present. | Sep 28 15:13 |
Xan_ | Go to Venezuela, it's literally 1.5 cents a gallon. | Sep 28 15:14 |
DaemonFC | It would have been nice to have a place to store like 500 gallons of it back when it was $1.76. | Sep 28 15:14 |
DaemonFC | My car does not get spectacular gas mileage. | Sep 28 15:15 |
DaemonFC | The only reason I'm getting away with it right now is because it doesn't get driven out of town all that often. | Sep 28 15:15 |
DaemonFC | I've thought about replacing it with a Honda when my finances improve. | Sep 28 15:16 |
Xan_ | How about a nice prius? :D | Sep 28 15:16 |
DaemonFC | When I'm done with that Taurus, it'll be ready to crush. | Sep 28 15:17 |
DaemonFC | If it hasn't disintegrated from rust already. | Sep 28 15:17 |

DaemonFC | Xan_, A Prius? No. | Sep 28 15:17 |
Xan_ | You have a Ford Taurus? | Sep 28 15:17 |
DaemonFC | Those are absurdly expensive. | Sep 28 15:17 |
DaemonFC | Even if I could come up with that much money, there'd be no point. | Sep 28 15:18 |
DaemonFC | It would eat up all my gas savings in the price of the car. | Sep 28 15:18 |
DaemonFC | Yes. | Sep 28 15:18 |
Xan_ | Civilian model or Police Interceptor? | Sep 28 15:18 |
DaemonFC | A 1995 Ford Taurus SHO. | Sep 28 15:18 |
Xan_ | Ohh, okay. The new Interceptor model is awesome. | Sep 28 15:18 |
DaemonFC | The cops here don't drive a Taurus anymore. | Sep 28 15:18 |
DaemonFC | They auctioned them all off and bought Dodge Chargers. | Sep 28 15:19 |
Xan_ | I'm never giving up my Crown Vic. I've tried the Charger and it's nice, but... Don't like the design. | Sep 28 15:19 |
DaemonFC | I was looking at buying an '04 Vic a few weeks ago. | Sep 28 15:19 |
Xan_ | I drive an '03. It's better milage than you'd expect. | Sep 28 15:19 |
DaemonFC | What stopped me was that the last owner beat the living shit out of it and it had a lot of problems. | Sep 28 15:19 |
DaemonFC | So, I found out why they only wanted $2,700 for it. | Sep 28 15:20 |
Xan_ | Ah, yeah. Could always get the money together for an '08 and use E85 ethonel to save money. | Sep 28 15:20 |
DaemonFC | E85 doesn't save money. | Sep 28 15:20 |
Xan_ | No? | Sep 28 15:20 |
DaemonFC | It has less energy potential per gallon than gasoline. | Sep 28 15:20 |
DaemonFC | If it reduces your fuel mileage by 27%, you're not saving money. | Sep 28 15:21 |
DaemonFC | :) | Sep 28 15:21 |
Xan_ | Ah >: | Sep 28 15:21 |
DaemonFC | I have used E85 in the Taurus though. | Sep 28 15:21 |
Xan_ | My friend has an electric car so, free fuel. | Sep 28 15:21 |
Xan_ | :P | Sep 28 15:21 |
DaemonFC | Not 100% E85. | Sep 28 15:21 |
DaemonFC | The SHO engine runs like shit on 87 octane. | Sep 28 15:22 |
DaemonFC | You're supposed to use 89 or 92. | Sep 28 15:22 |
Xan_ | Use 97/98 octane! | Sep 28 15:22 |
DaemonFC | So I just use 87 and put a bit of E85 in it. | Sep 28 15:22 |
DaemonFC | it brings the octane rating up without adding a fortune. | Sep 28 15:22 |
DaemonFC | It's not a flex fuel vehicle, but I seem to be getting away with using a little bit. | Sep 28 15:23 |
Xan_ | Solar cars in the USA are too expensive unfortunately. | Sep 28 15:23 |
Xan_ | Otherwise you're driving for free. | Sep 28 15:23 |
DaemonFC | It also prevents the fuel line from freezing in the winter. | Sep 28 15:23 |
DaemonFC | Several years ago, it got so cold here that I couldn't get my car to start. | Sep 28 15:23 |
Xan_ | >: | Sep 28 15:24 |
DaemonFC | So I've been using a higher amount of E85 in the winter and it hasn't happened again. | Sep 28 15:24 |
DaemonFC | It's just not possible to get good gas mileage without giving something else up. | Sep 28 15:25 |
DaemonFC | If you want to drive around in a little bitty clown car then you can get 40 mpg. | Sep 28 15:25 |
DaemonFC | That's why the Geo Metro is popular again. | Sep 28 15:25 |
Xan_ | Fsh. | Sep 28 15:25 |
DaemonFC | They haven't made them in more than 20 years, so people will buy ones that don't work for parts to keep theirs running. | Sep 28 15:25 |
Xan_ | The old cars don't get as good MPG than new cars. You can get 50mpg in a brand new BMW 5 series, and that's a full-sized sedan. | Sep 28 15:26 |
DaemonFC | The reason there are still so many gas guzzlers in the United States is because a lot of people (like me) just can't afford anything newer. | Sep 28 15:26 |
DaemonFC | By the time I can afford a car, it's more than 10 years old. | Sep 28 15:27 |
Xan_ | >: Aw. | Sep 28 15:27 |
Xan_ | I'm poor, too! | Sep 28 15:27 |
Xan_ | *Hugs* | Sep 28 15:27 |
DaemonFC | In 1995 nobody cared about gas mileage because gas was less than a dollar per gallon. | Sep 28 15:27 |
DaemonFC | Well, I'll be getting a newer old car here in a while. | Sep 28 15:28 |
DaemonFC | I could probably afford a 2005-2006 Taurus by April or May. | Sep 28 15:29 |

DaemonFC | I had a guy offer to sell me a 1999 Ford Explorer a while back. | Sep 28 15:29 |
DaemonFC | Nobody wants those anymore because they get 19 mpg on the highway. | Sep 28 15:30 |
Xan_ | Yeah, they're not too good. | Sep 28 15:30 |
DaemonFC | The engine isn't that great either. | Sep 28 15:31 |
DaemonFC | You'd think that the way it guzzles gas, it would be rated at something higher than 160 horsepower. | Sep 28 15:31 |
Xan_ | That's not that good. | Sep 28 15:32 |
DaemonFC | I drove that 2004 Crown Victoria about 30 miles to take it to a mechanic I trusted. | Sep 28 15:35 |
DaemonFC | I left with a little under a quarter of a tank, and it was near E by the time I got here. | Sep 28 15:35 |
DaemonFC | :P | Sep 28 15:35 |
Xan_ | O_o; Hrm. That's not very good. | Sep 28 15:35 |
DaemonFC | That was another reason I didn't buy it. | Sep 28 15:36 |
