schestowitz | oiaohm: remember McDarl came from Novell | Nov 02 00:00 |
---|---|---|
schestowitz | Also, Noorda did some Linux at Novell before spinning that odd as Caldera | Nov 02 00:00 |
schestowitz | *off | Nov 02 00:00 |
schestowitz | IIRC | Nov 02 00:00 |
oiaohm | Exactly schestowitz | Nov 02 00:00 |
schestowitz | But to suggest Novell made SCO sue is weird | Nov 02 00:00 |
schestowitz | Novell is an IBM partner | Nov 02 00:00 |
schestowitz | Maybe it wasn't back then | Nov 02 00:00 |
oiaohm | I have had the bad taste of seeing contracts Novell does with its partners. | Nov 02 00:01 |
oiaohm | Novell and SCO contract is classical. The way it worded is all non legally bond items of Unix can be transfered. Lot of Novell source code of Unix was still bound up because of the BSD case and not transferable. | Nov 02 00:03 |
oiaohm | Yet Novell never made that clear. | Nov 02 00:04 |
oiaohm | Yes SCO mostly aquired a almost worthless bit of a paper saying they had some rights to Unix. | Nov 02 00:05 |
schestowitz | So why is Novell hailed as Linux saviour in the SCO case? | Nov 02 00:05 |
schestowitz | Your answer would be interesing,. | Nov 02 00:05 |
oiaohm | Look at when Novell steped in then you see a problem. | Nov 02 00:05 |
schestowitz | But does Novell deserve credit at all? | Nov 02 00:06 |
oiaohm | SCO was going around demarding payment from everyone for usage of LInux due to breaching UNIX stuff. Novell did nothing. | Nov 02 00:06 |
schestowitz | If I give someone a rifle and then ask for it back, does it make me responsible? | Nov 02 00:06 |
oiaohm | Novell only step in when SCO attempt to take out IBM to make people pay up. | Nov 02 00:06 |
oiaohm | Of course IBM is not a push over. When pushed they will dig. | Nov 02 00:07 |
oiaohm | Novell was basically trying to save there hide. Before IBM got to them. And spin it into being a savour of Linux. | Nov 02 00:07 |
oiaohm | The question is Hailed by who as saviour. In my mind IBM was the saviour because they were not going to fold before SCO threats. | Nov 02 00:10 |

oiaohm | schestowitz: I also missed a big one before the IBM vs SCO case there was a SCO vs SUN case that stoped when the IBM case started. Victory by SUN in this case would have equal SUN rereleasing the Linux source code so rendering SCO attacks against Linux dead. | Nov 02 00:38 |

oiaohm | DaemonFC: Cpu core and instruction set differenet so needing a translation engine. Transltation engine leads to highly verable times to run the same instructions. | Nov 02 00:41 |
oiaohm | And eating more power than a CPU core design that does not need a translation engine. | Nov 02 00:42 |
oiaohm | Is this not enough? DaemonFC | Nov 02 00:42 |
DaemonFC | meh, it's not that much is it? | Nov 02 00:43 |
oiaohm | The power draw is over double DaemonFC | Nov 02 00:43 |
oiaohm | Due to the translation engine. | Nov 02 00:43 |
oiaohm | We would be better off with recompliers. | Nov 02 00:44 |
oiaohm | Ie run the translation once so not needing to do it over and over again. | Nov 02 00:44 |
oiaohm | Highly verable timing of instructions also means cpu time has to be wasted to match real time requirements like audio play back as well. Because you cannot depend on how long its going to take to process. | Nov 02 00:46 |
oiaohm | Its more where is a x86 chip not kicking you in the nuts DaemonFC | Nov 02 00:47 |

*amarsh04 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Nov 02 00:54 | |
shreddar | It didn't really bother me until I used Wine and it had the same problem and has lead so some annoying errors. | Nov 02 00:55 |
shreddar | I heard that this was a bug in Gnome/Ubuntu but it is supposedly fixed in Feisty. Obviously it's not fixed anymore. | Nov 02 00:59 |
DaemonFC | Ubuntu is full of bugs and random annoyances | Nov 02 01:06 |
DaemonFC | I think just just about any system tends to be that way anymore | Nov 02 01:07 |
DaemonFC | When Flash finally works right, call me | Nov 02 01:07 |
DaemonFC | works right = Functions with my webcam/microphone | Nov 02 01:08 |
DaemonFC | it does on Windows, it does on the Mac | Nov 02 01:08 |
DaemonFC | it has for years | Nov 02 01:08 |
cubezzz | I use flash with no problems | Nov 02 01:09 |
shreddar | Have you had this default directory problem though? | Nov 02 01:09 |
DaemonFC | shreddar, Wine tends to throw things in the damndest places cause there really are no rules for where files should go in Windows | Nov 02 01:10 |
cubezzz | not that l like Flash, I don't | Nov 02 01:10 |
DaemonFC | so whenever something wants to save its settings in "My Documents", Wine will just throw it in your Home folder | Nov 02 01:11 |
oiaohm | Not 100 percent correct DaemonFC | Nov 02 01:11 |
shreddar | I know it's Wine though. It abunch gnome apps too. (at least the ones that don't remember the last directory you accessed) | Nov 02 01:11 |
oiaohm | That location is set able DaemonFC | Nov 02 01:11 |
DaemonFC | that's not Wine's fault really, though I suppose they could redirect it | Nov 02 01:11 |
shreddar | I know it's not Wine though. It abunch gnome apps too. (at least the ones that don't remember the last directory you accessed) | Nov 02 01:11 |
shreddar | gedit has this problem aswell. | Nov 02 01:12 |
oiaohm | winecfg under tab desktop intergration DaemonFC | Nov 02 01:12 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft redirects requests for My Documents to C:\Users\Ryan\My Documents now | Nov 02 01:12 |
shreddar | I think they are using what ever the shell says is the current or directory. | Nov 02 01:13 |
oiaohm | Wine defaults are still genneric for Linux BSD and Mac DaemonFC | Nov 02 01:13 |
cubezzz | DaemonFC, why don't you try Fedora or Debian? | Nov 02 01:13 |
DaemonFC | under 2000 and XP it's C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\My Documents I think | Nov 02 01:13 |
cubezzz | lots of choices if you don't like Ubuntu | Nov 02 01:13 |
DaemonFC | I don't really use XP a lot anymore, R.I.P. | Nov 02 01:13 |
oiaohm | I find KDE apps better on remember last access directory than gnome ones DaemonFC | Nov 02 01:14 |
DaemonFC | Windows 7 is typical Microsoft attempt to make things easier, resulting in making things a lot more complicated | Nov 02 01:14 |
cubezzz | not unless the customer pays major $$$ :) | Nov 02 01:14 |
DaemonFC | the Libraries "feature" introduces all kinds of hillarity | Nov 02 01:14 |
DaemonFC | Cause just because some music or pictures or videos or documents are in a Library doesn't tell you where they REALLY ARE | Nov 02 01:15 |
oiaohm | Question if flash disappears and is mostly replaced by html standards I guess would also count as Flash working right DaemonFC? | Nov 02 01:15 |
DaemonFC | and if you try to save anything to a Library, Windows tells you to save it to a real folder | Nov 02 01:15 |

cubezzz | eventually I learned Unix | Nov 02 01:17 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz, I still have a Xenix 5.25" floppy somewhere | Nov 02 01:17 |

DaemonFC | I also have a Packard Bell system with a Pentium 200 | Nov 02 01:18 |

cubezzz | DaemonFC, I'm surprised you used Xenix, I would have thought that's before your time | Nov 02 01:21 |

DaemonFC | cubezzz, I liked Windows 95 (The OEM revisions with FAT32 and USB, but before IE was "integrated") | Nov 02 01:22 |
DaemonFC | hated Windows 98 | Nov 02 01:22 |
DaemonFC | formatted over Windows 98 on my HP Pavilion K6/2 system with my old Windows 95 OEM disc | Nov 02 01:23 |
DaemonFC | I pretty much held onto Windows 95 til XP and XP til 7 | Nov 02 01:24 |
cubezzz | I'm pretty happy with computers now that I have GNU/Linux | Nov 02 01:24 |
cubezzz | still miss Amiga though | Nov 02 01:24 |
DaemonFC | I didn't really want to move to 7, but Microsoft is making XP an uncomfortable place to be | Nov 02 01:24 |
DaemonFC | well, the x64 version anyway, which is what I've been using since it came out | Nov 02 01:24 |
oiaohm | Most likely in 6 years time MS will most likely make 7 unconfortable as well. | Nov 02 01:25 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft shot themselves in the foot when they limited DirectX 10 to Vista | Nov 02 01:25 |
oiaohm | What you call a never ending cycle. | Nov 02 01:25 |
cubezzz | no, it ended for me :) | Nov 02 01:25 |
DaemonFC | it didn't encourage Vista upgrades, it just helped speed the demise of PC gaming | Nov 02 01:25 |
cubezzz | in 2003 | Nov 02 01:25 |
cubezzz | should have done it earlier than | Nov 02 01:26 |
oiaohm | MS has to punsh anyone for not upgrading from XP to Vista because they promissed to. | Nov 02 01:26 |
cubezzz | that | Nov 02 01:26 |
DaemonFC | I got ahold of Windows 2000 as well | Nov 02 01:26 |

cubezzz | I wish I could say I switched to Linux in 1994 | Nov 02 01:27 |
cubezzz | but it took another 9 years :-/ | Nov 02 01:28 |
oiaohm | I can mostly because I started coding and could not afford compliers. | Nov 02 01:28 |
oiaohm | And djgpp on dos was hell. | Nov 02 01:28 |
DaemonFC | something along the line of "Microsoft made Windows 7 just for me. The Media Center demanding to DRM restrict your cable TV? Yep, that was my idea. Called Microsoft right on up and asked for it." | Nov 02 01:28 |

cubezzz | or if you have several computers run all Linux except one, that's doable | Nov 02 01:29 |
oiaohm | I system maticaly did away with hardware that was not Linux compadible. | Nov 02 01:30 |

DaemonFC | in 1999 | Nov 02 01:30 |

DaemonFC | oiaohm, show me a mainline, affordable, dual NTSC/ATSC TV tuner (PCI-E or USB) that Linux fully supports | Nov 02 01:37 |

DaemonFC | "So why is it that older people would be more trusting of vaccines? | Nov 02 02:08 |
DaemonFC | One reason is that people over the age of 65 remember a time when there were no vaccines. Polio, measles, whooping cough, and mumps were all diseases that caused grave illness before there were vaccinations. The polio and whooping cough vaccines were developed in the 1950s, the measles vaccine in 1968.

DaemonFC | the upgrades are kind of hit or miss, they really are | Nov 02 02:29 |
_Hicham_ | shreddar_ : u can set it in xdg-dirs | Nov 02 02:30 |
DaemonFC | I mean, people laugh when a Mac or Windows upgrade goes awry, but Ubuntu has had the same kind of problems several times | Nov 02 02:31 |
shreddar_ | where exactly is xdg-dirs? | Nov 02 02:31 |
cubezzz | shreddar_, I would just write a short bash script like gedit.sh | Nov 02 02:32 |
cubezzz | e.g. gedit $HOME/documents/$1 | Nov 02 02:33 |
cubezzz | actually I don't use gedit very much | Nov 02 02:34 |
_Hicham_ | shreddar : ~/.config/user-dirs.dir | Nov 02 02:36 |
cubezzz | CMS had a really nice editor on IBM 4381 | Nov 02 02:36 |
_Hicham_ | shreddar : ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | Nov 02 02:36 |
_Hicham_ | shreddar_ : do u have this file ? | Nov 02 02:36 |
cubezzz | yeah he does | Nov 02 02:36 |
shreddar_ | yes | Nov 02 02:36 |
_Hicham_ | then modify it to suit ur needs | Nov 02 02:37 |
_Hicham_ | and run xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update | Nov 02 02:37 |
_Hicham_ | or xdg-user-dirs-update | Nov 02 02:38 |
_Hicham_ | DaemonFC : Debian doesn't have those type of problems | Nov 02 02:39 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, Debian is also, weird | Nov 02 02:40 |
_Hicham_ | weird ? | Nov 02 02:40 |
shreddar_ | Ubuntu is Debian | Nov 02 02:40 |
DaemonFC | shreddar_, Well, a steak and a hamburger are both meat from a cow | Nov 02 02:41 |
shreddar_ | The only way to fix the XDG problem is to screw with the XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Document" part | Nov 02 02:42 |
_Hicham_ | shreddar_ : ur problem is resolved ? | Nov 02 02:42 |
DaemonFC | shreddar_, In that analogy, I'd call Debian an undercooked steak | Nov 02 02:42 |
shreddar_ | it works if I change it to XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/blabla" or something | Nov 02 02:42 |
DaemonFC | it's still mooing at me | Nov 02 02:42 |
cubezzz | DaemonFC, what do you call NFS then? :) | Nov 02 02:43 |
shreddar_ | but I don't think that's how it's supposed to work. | Nov 02 02:43 |
cubezzz | oops, LFS I mean | Nov 02 02:43 |
_Hicham_ | DaemonFC : Ubuntu isn't following Debien Policy | Nov 02 02:43 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz, Either way.... | Nov 02 02:43 |
DaemonFC | 7th circle of hell | Nov 02 02:43 |
cubezzz | ok, let me try it on Fedora... | Nov 02 02:43 |
_Hicham_ | cubezzz : what version of Fedora are u using ? | Nov 02 02:45 |
cubezzz | 11 | Nov 02 02:45 |

shreddar | If I run those programs from a virtual terminal it's no problem | Nov 02 03:09 |
shreddar | but running them from Kmenu makes them run from the ~/Documents folder | Nov 02 03:09 |
_Hicham_ | are u using gedit in kde ? | Nov 02 03:10 |
shreddar | I was just using it as a test to see why my other programs were behaving this way. | Nov 02 03:11 |
_Hicham_ | gedit doesn't use xdg dirs | Nov 02 03:12 |
_Hicham_ | u can patch it if u are up to it | Nov 02 03:12 |
_Hicham_ | and u can link it to libxdg-basedir | Nov 02 03:13 |
_Hicham_ | doesn't sound that bad | Nov 02 03:13 |
shreddar | Ok but gedit if it is being run from the ~/Documents directory will by default try to open from or save to it. | Nov 02 03:13 |
shreddar | That's what Kmenu is doing. | Nov 02 03:14 |
shreddar | It's running apps from the ~/Documents directory. | Nov 02 03:14 |
_Hicham_ | usually applications are launched whithin the home directory | Nov 02 03:14 |
_Hicham_ | that is why gedit defaults to it | Nov 02 03:15 |
_Hicham_ | but it is really easy to find the Documents folder with nautilus bookmarks | Nov 02 03:16 |
shreddar | I found out that Kmenu is doing this. Now I just have to figure out why. | Nov 02 03:16 |
_Hicham_ | do u use nautilus bookmarks ? | Nov 02 03:16 |
shreddar | This behavior in Kmenu seems to depend on XDG in some way. | Nov 02 03:17 |
_Hicham_ | I don't know, and it is not of a big deal for me | Nov 02 03:18 |
shreddar | I do have nautilus bookmarks | Nov 02 03:18 |
_Hicham_ | u can see them if the filechooser dialog | Nov 02 03:19 |
_Hicham_ | then what is the problem? | Nov 02 03:19 |
shreddar | I'm not trying to make programs default to ~/Documents. I'm trying to stop them from defaulting to ~/Documents. I know Kmenu is a key factor in this. | Nov 02 03:20 |

fewa | just endless | Nov 02 11:14 |
Diablo-D3 | and yes, you can have infinite tape | Nov 02 11:14 |
fewa | there is a difference | Nov 02 11:14 |
oiaohm | The hardware of a turing machine can be built and operated tenderfoot the storage media to make it work in theory mode is a problem. | Nov 02 11:14 |
Diablo-D3 | just produce more tape faster than you can read it | Nov 02 11:14 |
Diablo-D3 | or use non-linear magnetic mediums | Nov 02 11:14 |
tenderfoot | you simply cannot have infinite ANYTHING.. | Nov 02 11:14 |
Diablo-D3 | a hard drive really isnt that different than a tape. | Nov 02 11:14 |
oiaohm | Very hard to say tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:14 |

Diablo-D3 | does that do it for you? | Nov 02 11:15 |
cubezzz | ;-) | Nov 02 11:15 |
tenderfoot | sure, infinity exists only in the mind. thanks for that | Nov 02 11:15 |
oiaohm | infinite Humans most likely will never live long enough to prove if or if not infinity exists. | Nov 02 11:15 |
cubezzz | how many stars can Hubble see? | Nov 02 11:16 |
oiaohm | To be correct proving you have found infinity is basically impossiable unless you are like god. | Nov 02 11:16 |
oiaohm | It is foolish to claim something cannot exist when you cannot prove either way. | Nov 02 11:17 |
tenderfoot | no by definition it's impossible.. because you can always (+1) | Nov 02 11:17 |
oiaohm | No true infinity you cannot +1 | Nov 02 11:17 |
cubezzz | the set of integers is infinite | Nov 02 11:17 |
tenderfoot | ok whatever.. | Nov 02 11:17 |
oiaohm | Because you cannot find the point of infinity. | Nov 02 11:17 |
tenderfoot | well done | Nov 02 11:17 |
oiaohm | To move +1 from. | Nov 02 11:17 |
oiaohm | But it does not mean it does not exist. Just you cannot prove either way. | Nov 02 11:18 |
oiaohm | The infinity questions is almost as bad as does god exists questions. | Nov 02 11:18 |
tenderfoot | do you know what "infinity" actually IS ?? if you did you would not be arguing it's existance.. but thats not my problem | Nov 02 11:19 |
oiaohm | Problem here is there is more than 1 meaning of it. tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:19 |
cubezzz | The word comes from the Latin infinitas or "unboundedness." | Nov 02 11:19 |
tenderfoot | yes, the right meaning and your meaning, | Nov 02 11:20 |
oiaohm | 1/0 is a classic. That is every point on a line. | Nov 02 11:20 |
cubezzz | just say unbounded then | Nov 02 11:20 |
archaos | "To infinity and beyond!", Buzz Lightyear ... | Nov 02 11:20 |
oiaohm | That some maths people call infinity. | Nov 02 11:20 |
oiaohm | Note a line with no end. | Nov 02 11:20 |
oiaohm | Then some other theory maths use it as a point that is basically undeterminable. | Nov 02 11:21 |
oiaohm | Context of infinity is important. | Nov 02 11:21 |
archaos | what's infinity got to do with real computers, this reminds me of a buch of true believers arguing the existance of angels, and how many would fit on a chip :) | Nov 02 11:22 |
oiaohm | Some chips do support NAN Ie not a number for 1/0 | Nov 02 11:22 |
oiaohm | And will solve the maths out in the maths processor using it archaos | Nov 02 11:22 |
oiaohm | There are others that will solve out algregra with the other one in it as well. | Nov 02 11:23 |
tenderfoot | someone said you can build a turing maching, and you cant because it's a theoretical concept with infinate memory. which is physically impossible. | Nov 02 11:23 |
cubezzz | well there should be a way to handle division by zero other than printing out NAN | Nov 02 11:23 |
oiaohm | NAN is a number cubezzz | Nov 02 11:24 |
oiaohm | To those systems. | Nov 02 11:24 |
archaos | tenderfoot: but the point someone was making was that computers can handle abstract symbols rather than as the Groklaw quote said only ONs and OFFs .. yea ? | Nov 02 11:24 |
oiaohm | tenderfoot: bad argument you can build a turing machine you can operate a turing machine you just decide to limit it under infinate. | Nov 02 11:24 |
oiaohm | Because you cannot store or handle infinate. | Nov 02 11:25 |
oiaohm | Limiting a machine under it max capiablity does not mean you have failed to build it. | Nov 02 11:25 |

tenderfoot | some here dont know what it is either. | Nov 02 11:25 |
archaos | tenderfoot: haaaaaaa | Nov 02 11:26 |
oiaohm | tenderfoot: It is a turning machine by definition. | Nov 02 11:26 |
oiaohm | Just you choose not to run it at max. | Nov 02 11:26 |
oiaohm | Same as under clocking a processor. | Nov 02 11:26 |
tenderfoot | not by turing's definition, which I tend to accept over yours | Nov 02 11:26 |
archaos | question: can computers handle abstract symbols as well as ones and noughts ? | Nov 02 11:26 |
oiaohm | Turing first define of a turing machine does not mention infinity of paper tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:27 |
tenderfoot | look it up, please, | Nov 02 11:27 |
oiaohm | You are refering to a latter though experment done. | Nov 02 11:27 |
archaos | "every single one is, at its heart, a collection of tiny on-off switches .. The challenge for the inventor is how to use these transistors .. in a way that produces the desired functionality" | Nov 02 11:27 |
tenderfoot | so you re-writing history to suit your argument, fair enough | Nov 02 11:28 |
archaos | fuck infinity, lets talk about the Bilski case instead !!!! | Nov 02 11:28 |
archaos | "Turing's construction of a universal machine gives the most fundamental insight into computation: one machine can run any program whatsoever" | Nov 02 11:29 |
archaos | ok, is a 'turing machine' patentable ?? .. discuss !!!! | Nov 02 11:30 |
tenderfoot | a modern digital computer cannot interpret abstract symbols, it cannot do anything without specific on-off state configuration information (called binary instructions), to configure the state of the machine to enable it to interpret or modify another binary state. | Nov 02 11:31 |
archaos | since a 'turing machine' can simulate all other computers, that would mean what ? legally speaking ? | Nov 02 11:31 |
tenderfoot | you cannot build a practical turing machine, or anything that requires an infinate amount of something. | Nov 02 11:31 |
archaos | A standard PC is a turing machine ?, the software can simulate any other machine, even without an infinate amount of memory ? | Nov 02 11:32 |
archaos | an approximate simulation .. | Nov 02 11:32 |

archaos | 1/3 = .66666 to infinity ... | Nov 02 11:33 |
tenderfoot | sure change the rules you can do what you like | Nov 02 11:33 |
oiaohm | Because turning machines have halt instructions tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:33 |
archaos | but the machines only stores 12 decimal places .. | Nov 02 11:33 |
oiaohm | So what is the point of the rest of the tape when you hit a halt tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:33 |
archaos | gtg: but stay on topic would you. Let the philosophers discuss 'infinity' | Nov 02 11:34 |
archaos | ""orrecting Microsoft's Bilski Amicus Brief -- How Do Computers Really Work? | Nov 02 11:34 |
oiaohm | So since a turning machine has halt instructions you can limit tape so you can build and work a turning machine tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:34 |
tenderfoot | oiaohm or Alan Turing ???? hmmm,, I expect that Alan might be the right one here not oiaohm., sorry | Nov 02 11:34 |
*archaos has quit ("Page closed") | Nov 02 11:35 | |
oiaohm | If you go read alan Turing book on it. | Nov 02 11:35 |
oiaohm | You will find the halt instruction include. | Nov 02 11:35 |
oiaohm | Book talking about unlimited tape but include means to operate it without unlimited. | Nov 02 11:36 |
tenderfoot | I dont need too, I allready understand what it is, and i can read the definition of a Turing machine, and I understand what infinity means, why do you keep trying to argue against the facts ?? | Nov 02 11:36 |
oiaohm | You are argueing something cannot be built. | Nov 02 11:36 |
oiaohm | When it has been built many times tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:36 |
oiaohm | Just never operated to its full theory limit. | Nov 02 11:37 |
tenderfoot | ok sure whatever you say,, no point in arguing with you | Nov 02 11:37 |
oiaohm | Its like you could say a cpu by design could run for ever. | Nov 02 11:37 |
tenderfoot | what is the "theory limit" of infinity ????????? | Nov 02 11:37 |
oiaohm | But do to the limitations of us and nature it will not. | Nov 02 11:37 |
tenderfoot | dont bring "forever" into it.. geeez | Nov 02 11:37 |
oiaohm | Its the same thing tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:38 |
oiaohm | You could say a cpu could run for infinity and theory work on that. | Nov 02 11:38 |
tenderfoot | thats right, both are purely theoretical, NOT practical... end of story | Nov 02 11:38 |
oiaohm | No turing machine is part theoretical part blueprint. | Nov 02 11:39 |
tenderfoot | You could say that oiaohm, but you would be wrong if you did | Nov 02 11:39 |
oiaohm | CPU designs also done with infinity in mind. | Nov 02 11:39 |
tenderfoot | what ?? um, no designs are done with infinity in mind... | Nov 02 11:39 |
oiaohm | Every possiablity tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:40 |
oiaohm | Ie 1/0 infinity | Nov 02 11:40 |
tenderfoot | every possibility is not infinate, it finate. like "A finate state machine" | Nov 02 11:40 |
tenderfoot | 1/0 is theoretical, do it in practice ?? | Nov 02 11:41 |
oiaohm | Designing a cpu is large amount of theory as well. | Nov 02 11:41 |
oiaohm | Building something and operating to max are two different things tenderfoot. | Nov 02 11:42 |
tenderfoot | ofcourse it is, but at no point is "infinite" considered | Nov 02 11:42 |
oiaohm | Ie you can build a turing machine. You can never operate it to turing theory idea. | Nov 02 11:42 |
tenderfoot | then it's not a turing machine,, BY DEFINITION !!! sorry you lose.. | Nov 02 11:43 |
oiaohm | so a cpu that has never been used is not a cpu tenderfoot? | Nov 02 11:43 |
tenderfoot | ofcourse it is,, what's that got to do with the price of eggs ?? | Nov 02 11:43 |
oiaohm | By definition a built turning machine can match every one of turing designs all bar feeding in the large bit of paper. | Nov 02 11:44 |
oiaohm | exactly the same as a cpu lacking power. | Nov 02 11:44 |
tenderfoot | and infinate memory, and nifinate paper, so it's NOT a TURING machine,, geezzz sure you can build something else. but you cannot build a Turing machine.. | Nov 02 11:45 |
oiaohm | You are lacking 1 bit to operate it tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:45 |
oiaohm | That does not mean its not a turning machine. | Nov 02 11:45 |
oiaohm | turing machine | Nov 02 11:45 |
tenderfoot | yea, that makes it impossible, and not a turing machine, but i tire of this, look up with infinite means then come back to me | Nov 02 11:46 |
oiaohm | Yet turing machine have halt instructions. | Nov 02 11:46 |
oiaohm | By design. | Nov 02 11:46 |
oiaohm | So you can fully test the turing machine that it works correctly. | Nov 02 11:46 |
tenderfoot | so what ?? they also have infinate memory,, so by definition it's impossible practically. | Nov 02 11:46 |
tenderfoot | therefore it's NOT a turing machine,,, get it ? | Nov 02 11:47 |
oiaohm | If you kept on producing paper you could have infinate memory on the built turing machine. | Nov 02 11:47 |
oiaohm | Just no one is insane enough todo that tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:47 |
tenderfoot | no you cant,, | Nov 02 11:47 |
*amarsh04 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Nov 02 11:48 | |
tenderfoot | you cannot produce an infinate amount of paper, or memory.. end of discussion :) | Nov 02 11:48 |
oiaohm | If you can keep on doing it for ever you can tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:49 |
oiaohm | Ok doing it forever would be insanely hard. | Nov 02 11:49 |
tenderfoot | yes, but you cant can you,,, forever is infinate and practically impossible.. | Nov 02 11:49 |
oiaohm | So most people who build machines following turing machine designs don't try to do that. | Nov 02 11:49 |
tenderfoot | even if you use every atom in the universe, what then ?? | Nov 02 11:49 |
oiaohm | Find another universe | Nov 02 11:50 |
tenderfoot | it's still finite,,, big but finite | Nov 02 11:50 |
oiaohm | The question is if there is a limit to numbers of atoms in the universe | Nov 02 11:50 |
oiaohm | We don't know tenderfoot | Nov 02 11:50 |
tenderfoot | yes we do,, people actually understand what infinity is and means,, just you dont seem to get it yet.. | Nov 02 11:51 |
oiaohm | You are not god you don't know everything . So you don't know truthfully if the universe is finite. | Nov 02 11:51 |
oiaohm | You are only presuming its impossiable. | Nov 02 11:52 |
oiaohm | Impracatical yes. Impossiable maybe. | Nov 02 11:52 |
tenderfoot | no it IS impossible,, im not presuming anything,, I know.. by DEFINITION infinity is impossible. | Nov 02 11:52 |
oiaohm | Its only a maybe. | Nov 02 11:53 |

tenderfoot | yes, it's better than just making stuff up.. | Nov 02 12:03 |
oiaohm | So you cannot be sure if a turing machine that is built if someone tried to run it for infinity could or could not tenderfoot. That is the problem. The machines have been built. Of course it would have to be repeared for all that time. | Nov 02 12:05 |
oiaohm | Operated for infinity we are not sure of. | Nov 02 12:05 |
oiaohm | But you would have to be kinda nuts to want a machine to run for infinity. | Nov 02 12:05 |

ThistleWeb | at least he did eventually give an answer, even if the question wasn't clear | Nov 02 12:06 |
oiaohm | A paper tape without end ie its always being lenthed would be one of the meanings of infinite | Nov 02 12:06 |
tenderfoot | long yes,, infinite NO... come on you can do better than that,, cant you ?? | Nov 02 12:07 |
oiaohm | You are taking the mean that the paper has to be infinite to start off tenderfoot. | Nov 02 12:07 |
oiaohm | If you never find end to the machine it is infinte. | Nov 02 12:07 |
tenderfoot | what about the infinite memory capacity,, how do you spin that into practice ?? | Nov 02 12:07 |
oiaohm | Same if memory capacity is always growing. To the machine its infinte. | Nov 02 12:08 |
oiaohm | Ie you don't need infinite to end up with something after a infinite ammount of time. | Nov 02 12:09 |
tenderfoot | no it's not :) clearly it's not,, how can you say it IS ? | Nov 02 12:09 |
oiaohm | ie it will be infinite after a infinite ammount of time tenderfoot | Nov 02 12:09 |
oiaohm | Is that possiable for a human to prove of disprove no. | Nov 02 12:09 |
tenderfoot | I give up,, your right,, your perfect and infinite in your capacity, brain the size of a universe !!! well done.. | Nov 02 12:09 |

tenderfoot | what guarantee does infinite imply ? | Nov 02 12:11 |
ThistleWeb | it means it has no limits | Nov 02 12:11 |
tenderfoot | how fast does something have to grow to get infinite ??? | Nov 02 12:12 |
ThistleWeb | that it guarantees there are no limits, otherwise when one is reached, it becomes finite, not infinite | Nov 02 12:12 |
oiaohm | Fast or as slow as you like because you would need infinite time to get there. | Nov 02 12:12 |
tenderfoot | thats right so by definition infinite is practically impossible. | Nov 02 12:12 |
ThistleWeb | it means "we KNOW there are no limits" when nobody can know that | Nov 02 12:12 |
oiaohm | But pratically impossiable does not equal impossiable. | Nov 02 12:13 |
tenderfoot | it equals impossible in practice, ie impossible | Nov 02 12:13 |

tenderfoot | ioaohm, time itself is not constant, so the term "forever" is meaninless, look through a telescope and see the light from a Galaxy 13 billion light years away, and ask yourself how old is that photon you are looking at, in your frame of reference the photon is 13 billion years old, but the photon (at the speed of light) experiences (in it's frame of reference) ZERO time. The instant it's created (photoelectric effect, Ei | Nov 02 14:16 |
oiaohm | tenderfoot: Exactly. Time is not a straight line. So if it can be bent enough unlimited of time might be equal to a second to us. We are not advanced enough to bend time like this. | Nov 02 14:18 |
tenderfoot | a photon never sees or ever can perceive time or space. | Nov 02 14:18 |
oiaohm | Gravity wells bending time tenderfoot don't forgot those. | Nov 02 14:19 |
tenderfoot | we routinely "bend" time and space, by our very existance. | Nov 02 14:19 |
oiaohm | Its the amount of bend. | Nov 02 14:19 |
tenderfoot | therefore time is not constant, | Nov 02 14:20 |
tenderfoot | it's got little to do with gravity, it's to do with speed. | Nov 02 14:20 |
oiaohm | Gravity lens that bend light. Gravity effects speed. | Nov 02 14:21 |
oiaohm | infinite ammount of time might take long at all with the right conditions. | Nov 02 14:22 |
tenderfoot | gravity effects the shape of the universe, gravity lensing is due to the different path lengths due to the warping of 'space/time'. not the effect of gravity on the photon, which has no mass | Nov 02 14:22 |
oiaohm | Gravity and speed both can effect time. | Nov 02 14:23 |
oiaohm | Speed is a larger effect. | Nov 02 14:24 |
tenderfoot | gravity does not effect time, gravity effects the shape of the universe, therefore making a longer path for something to travel. longer path means longer time, but not a change in time. | Nov 02 14:25 |
oiaohm | The more you understand of how matter works the more it harder to say what is impossiable. | Nov 02 14:25 |

phIRCe-local | Title: Gravitational time dilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .::. Size~: 68.12 KB | Nov 02 14:28 |
tenderfoot | exactly my point, therefore time is not constant, and the fast you travel in your frame of reference the slower times goes, but you dont see it in your frame of reference, you have to observe it from another frame of reference. no two objects moving at different speeds experience the "same" time. | Nov 02 14:29 |
tenderfoot | I know how gravitational lensing works thanks. | Nov 02 14:29 |
tenderfoot | " is considered to be a difference in the passage of proper time at different positions as described by a metric tensor of spacetime. " | Nov 02 14:30 |
tenderfoot | exactly what I said. | Nov 02 14:30 |
oiaohm | Lower the gravity fast clock will run. | Nov 02 14:31 |
oiaohm | Now that does introduce a few nasty question for traveling between solar systems. | Nov 02 14:31 |
tenderfoot | no it does not work that way, otherwise in space (zero gravity) clocks with run super fast and they dont. | Nov 02 14:31 |
oiaohm | Yes I just screwed it up. I was thinking near black hole. Closer you get the slower you clock runs and as you get away from it the faster it runs so causing a major time pass difference. | Nov 02 14:35 |
oiaohm | And the more distance away the lower the gravity force you have to resist to stay there. | Nov 02 14:35 |
tenderfoot | because the very high gravity of a black hole changes the shape of the universe, making for longer travel paths in "space/time" | Nov 02 14:36 |
oiaohm | Lot of effects exist to be played with. | Nov 02 14:36 |
oiaohm | How do we know we are not in a slow part of the universe. | Nov 02 14:37 |
tenderfoot | we are, a slow part is any part with mass in it, that changes the shape of space/time. it's everywhere it just varies from place to place, alot of mass in a black hole. not much mass in deep "empty" space. a little bit of mass on/IS earth. | Nov 02 14:39 |

oiaohm | Until we can get out into fairly empty space we really will not know how slow were we are is. | Nov 02 14:42 |
tenderfoot | we know exactly how slow it is, it's a well known science, and it's used routinely in everyday practical purperses. | Nov 02 14:42 |
tenderfoot | such as GPS satellite internal atomic clocks, have to be periodically reset to correct the time dilation due to their speed. | Nov 02 14:43 |
tenderfoot | we also travel through the universe and quite a clip. | Nov 02 14:43 |
oiaohm | And around a item we don't have the exact weight of. | Nov 02 14:44 |
oiaohm | Currently we have a guess. | Nov 02 14:44 |

tenderfoot | you expenience the most time, where there is the most warping of space/time. usually considered to be the singularity of a black hole. thats also well known science. | Nov 02 14:57 |
tenderfoot | but for you, there, on that black hole. you dont see any change in time at all. | Nov 02 14:58 |
tenderfoot | apart from the normal progression of time, at 1 sec per sec | Nov 02 14:59 |
oiaohm | That is the other way to what I am asking for tenderfoot | Nov 02 14:59 |
oiaohm | At a black hole time to you slows down to everyone else. | Nov 02 14:59 |
tenderfoot | but if im looking at you from outside the black hole, assuming I can see you, you appear to be frozen in time. | Nov 02 14:59 |
tenderfoot | time to you does not change, time to me does. | Nov 02 15:00 |
oiaohm | I am after what would be the person expericen the most time compared to everyone else. | Nov 02 15:00 |
oiaohm | Basically the one that will die from old age first. | Nov 02 15:00 |
tenderfoot | nothing, you dont "experience" any change in time at all. | Nov 02 15:00 |
oiaohm | I did not say the person was aware of it. | Nov 02 15:01 |
tenderfoot | if you sitting on a black hole, old age is not your first concern :) | Nov 02 15:01 |
oiaohm | Just there 80 years of time would be over first. | Nov 02 15:01 |
tenderfoot | whos' time ? | Nov 02 15:01 |
oiaohm | That is my problem where would you go threw 80 years first compared to everyone else in the Universe. | Nov 02 15:02 |
oiaohm | We know where to find the slowest black holes and the like. | Nov 02 15:03 |
tenderfoot | if you traveled at the speed of light, you're frame of reference there is NO time, so you will not age, or experience any time at all, or space. the instant you hit c time and space cease to exist (for you). | Nov 02 15:03 |
oiaohm | Exactly slowing time is simple. | Nov 02 15:04 |
oiaohm | Ish. | Nov 02 15:04 |
tenderfoot | but for me, watching you in my frame of reference, you might live for billions of years. | Nov 02 15:04 |
tenderfoot | like a photon from a distant galaxy, that photon experiences zero time and space, but it may take 13 billion years for that photon to travel from that galaxy to your eye. | Nov 02 15:04 |

DaemonFC | IE is like an unmaintained building that should be condemned | Nov 02 15:22 |
DaemonFC | but every once in a while, Microsoft gives it a paint job and calls it new | Nov 02 15:22 |
_Hicham_ | if i am developing an application for windows, i would do the same | Nov 02 15:22 |
DaemonFC | I would just bundle Gecko or Webkit | Nov 02 15:23 |
DaemonFC | it's not like you can't do that | Nov 02 15:23 |

tenderfoot | if you dont like it dont use it, hard drives are big these days, | Nov 02 15:23 |
_Hicham_ | u can | Nov 02 15:23 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, So? Doesn't make it worth using. | Nov 02 15:23 |
DaemonFC | Webkit is years ahead of IE and much faster | Nov 02 15:23 |
tenderfoot | we'll use it | Nov 02 15:24 |
DaemonFC | on a Mac, I can understand embedding Webkit, it's a modern engine | Nov 02 15:24 |
DaemonFC | Trident is not | Nov 02 15:24 |
Diablo-D3 | DaemonFC: how about it this way | Nov 02 15:24 |
_Hicham_ | but, bundling will add size | Nov 02 15:24 |
_Hicham_ | for nothing | Nov 02 15:24 |
Diablo-D3 | the smallest engine out there is webkit | Nov 02 15:24 |
Diablo-D3 | its about 4 or 5 megs when stripped down | Nov 02 15:24 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, like <5 megs | Nov 02 15:24 |
Diablo-D3 | your app is 200k. | Nov 02 15:24 |
Diablo-D3 | do the math. | Nov 02 15:24 |
tenderfoot | I use IE, and the slowest thing by far is the speed of the internet connection, not the browser | Nov 02 15:24 |
_Hicham_ | yes | Nov 02 15:24 |
DaemonFC | Diablo-D3, I'd still do it that way | Nov 02 15:25 |
_Hicham_ | bundling is not a solution | Nov 02 15:25 |
Diablo-D3 | then fuck off and die, no one wants your apps. | Nov 02 15:25 |
DaemonFC | IE just disgusts me | Nov 02 15:25 |
tenderfoot | does not matter how fast webkit works the weak link is the net connection. | Nov 02 15:25 |
Diablo-D3 | even steam uses ie. | Nov 02 15:25 |
DaemonFC | it's offensively backwards and broken | Nov 02 15:25 |
DaemonFC | no person in their right mind would use it | Nov 02 15:25 |
DaemonFC | the onyl people using IE have spyware crawling all over the computer | Nov 02 15:25 |
DaemonFC | and 50 toolbars | Nov 02 15:25 |
_Hicham_ | plus, trident have a really great documentation | Nov 02 15:25 |
tenderfoot | diablo, you refering to me ?? | Nov 02 15:25 |
DaemonFC | you can't even really use ad blocking with it | Nov 02 15:26 |
_Hicham_ | MSDN is one of the greatest sources of documentation on the net | Nov 02 15:26 |
_Hicham_ | if u have ever worked with Visual Studio, u will understand this | Nov 02 15:27 |
DaemonFC | I would go further and say that if you use Trident in your web-facing application, then all the security problems in IE become problems in your application that you cannot fix | Nov 02 15:27 |
DaemonFC | I would be too ashamed to embed IE in anything for that reason alone | Nov 02 15:27 |
Diablo-D3 | I must be using windows wrong | Nov 02 15:28 |
Diablo-D3 | I dont have any ie toolbars installed | Nov 02 15:28 |
Diablo-D3 | nor any malware | Nov 02 15:28 |
DaemonFC | Diablo-D3, IE has always been too busted to really want to use | Nov 02 15:29 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, and your mom was probably doing drugs when she had you. | Nov 02 15:29 |
DaemonFC | the last time I used it regularly was to open a stuborn site that said only IE users could get in | Nov 02 15:29 |
DaemonFC | those are mostly gone | Nov 02 15:29 |
DaemonFC | IE is toxic waste | Nov 02 15:30 |
tenderfoot | well Diablo-D3 that is most expected from you, thanks for showing us your 'form'. | Nov 02 15:30 |
DaemonFC | seems like every year there are at least half a dozen security bugs that let spyware install just by visiting a page | Nov 02 15:30 |
DaemonFC | it hasn't really improved in IE 7 or 8, they just got better at marketing it as "secure" | Nov 02 15:31 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft even refuses to patch critical bugs on IE 7/8 in Vista/7 because "UAC should stop the attack", assuming you hae it on | Nov 02 15:31 |
DaemonFC | what a piss poor excuse for leaving a vulnerability open jsut to nto add to your patch count | Nov 02 15:32 |
DaemonFC | it's all PR | Nov 02 15:32 |
DaemonFC | *just / not | Nov 02 15:32 |

Diablo-D3 | btw, does anyone actually read my identica feed? | Nov 02 15:47 |
tenderfoot | no me !!! :) | Nov 02 15:47 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, The concept of web standards are that you can write it once ance view it in any browser that conforms to those standards | Nov 02 15:48 |
DaemonFC | the only browser that has been lagging behind in this regard is IE | Nov 02 15:48 |
DaemonFC | IE 8 is only marginally better than IE 6 | Nov 02 15:48 |
_Hicham_ | because MS is the standard | Nov 02 15:48 |
_Hicham_ | that is why | Nov 02 15:48 |
DaemonFC | it's fixed a lot of rendering bugs but hasn't actually added additional support for web standards | Nov 02 15:49 |
_Hicham_ | everyone was happy with IE | Nov 02 15:49 |
DaemonFC | IE 8 is still effectively stuck in the 1990s | Nov 02 15:49 |
DaemonFC | the web pages you see haven't changed much in 10 years because IE hasn't changed much in 10 years | Nov 02 15:50 |
DaemonFC | Internet Explorer is like the No Child Left Behind Act for the Internet | Nov 02 15:51 |
DaemonFC | it forces all the competitive browsers to slow down to accomodate one bad one that's obsolete by at least a decade | Nov 02 15:51 |

DaemonFC | _Hicham_, Good browsers continue to poach about 1-1.5% of IE users every month | Nov 02 15:53 |
DaemonFC | eventually IE will be the one that gets locked out of sites telling them to come back without that demented Tonka toy | Nov 02 15:53 |
_Hicham_ | I don't think so | Nov 02 15:54 |
DaemonFC | I mean, let's be realistic, it will take 3-4 years at this rate | Nov 02 15:54 |
DaemonFC | but it will happen | Nov 02 15:54 |
DaemonFC | IE has lost share every month since like 2004 | Nov 02 15:54 |
DaemonFC | without exception | Nov 02 15:54 |
_Hicham_ | let's hope that | Nov 02 15:54 |
DaemonFC | it was like 96%, now it's liek 64.5% | Nov 02 15:54 |
DaemonFC | so it's like the long slow death of Communism | Nov 02 15:55 |
DaemonFC | people only put up with bullshit for so long | Nov 02 15:56 |
_Hicham_ | which browser will dominate ? | Nov 02 15:56 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, Firefox is still the single fastest growing browser, but that doesn't matter | Nov 02 15:56 |
DaemonFC | the overall goal of Gecko, Webkit, and Presto (Opera) is full standards compliance | Nov 02 15:57 |
DaemonFC | so take your pick | Nov 02 15:57 |
DaemonFC | it doesn't matter which browser dominates if all of them speak the same language | Nov 02 15:57 |
_Hicham_ | have u ever tried midori ? | Nov 02 15:57 |
_Hicham_ | it is a small webkit browser | Nov 02 15:58 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, Yeah, it crashed a lot, but it shows potential | Nov 02 15:58 |
_Hicham_ | which version did u test ? | Nov 02 15:58 |
-BNc/#boycottnovell-[trmanco] "O NETemprego está a ter um elevado número de acessos Por esta razão poderão ocorrer indisponibilidades temporárias deste serviço." ah tb... | Nov 02 15:58 | |
_Hicham_ | now it is in 0.2.0 | Nov 02 15:58 |
DaemonFC | mmmm, don't remember, maybe 0.1 or so | Nov 02 15:58 |
_Hicham_ | if they add client side certificates management to it, a lot of people will migrate | Nov 02 15:59 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, You remember that first Microsoft ignored Firefox, then they had their paid hit squad try to take it out (so-called journalists), then they tried poaching all of Firefox's user interface features, and still kept losing | Nov 02 15:59 |
_Hicham_ | that is the single big thing missing | Nov 02 15:59 |
DaemonFC | now they claim they're interested in web standards, but that's a sham | Nov 02 15:59 |
_Hicham_ | they help mozilla team | Nov 02 15:59 |
DaemonFC | they'll fix the most obvious problems, add support for the standards that don't conflict with proprietary crap like Silver Blight | Nov 02 16:00 |
_Hicham_ | they even send them a cake when they released Windows Vista | Nov 02 16:00 |
DaemonFC | and they'll continue losing share | Nov 02 16:00 |
DaemonFC | because people don't want applications that are not designed to do what they want to do with them | Nov 02 16:00 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, If you look at all the programs bundled with Windows, you'll see a pattern emerge | Nov 02 16:01 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft supports Microsoft's ambitions first | Nov 02 16:01 |
DaemonFC | Now, if something gets too popular to not support, they may throw it in, years after the fact | Nov 02 16:01 |
DaemonFC | (AAC support in Windows Media Player 12 / Playback only) | Nov 02 16:01 |
DaemonFC | (CSS Level 2.1 support, 10 years late, in IE) | Nov 02 16:02 |
DaemonFC | but they are not designed to do what you want them to do | Nov 02 16:02 |
_Hicham_ | and people still use Windows | Nov 02 16:02 |
DaemonFC | well, they are, but it's a VERY distant third priority | Nov 02 16:02 |
DaemonFC | IE has no adblock feature, for example | Nov 02 16:03 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft is in the web ad pushing business | Nov 02 16:03 |
DaemonFC | this puts them at a conflict of interest with the user | Nov 02 16:03 |
tenderfoot | my IE has add block !!! | Nov 02 16:03 |
DaemonFC | they want to cram ads down your throat and spy on you, so why would they throw in an ad blocker? | Nov 02 16:03 |
DaemonFC | tenderfoot, There's a few third party add-ons, but none of them are really that great | Nov 02 16:04 |
DaemonFC | they either load the ad, then hide it (pointless) | Nov 02 16:04 |
tenderfoot | mine i snot a third party add on, it's just IE. | Nov 02 16:04 |
DaemonFC | or the blocking list is not easily edited | Nov 02 16:04 |
DaemonFC | IE7Pro is probably the best attempt I've seen, and the list editor is buggy and confusing | Nov 02 16:05 |
DaemonFC | it's hard to make or apply new rules, sometimes wildcards work and sometimes not | Nov 02 16:05 |
DaemonFC | I gave up | Nov 02 16:05 |
tenderfoot | so now it does have an ad block but it's hard to use ?? | Nov 02 16:06 |
tenderfoot | make up your mind :) | Nov 02 16:06 |
DaemonFC | tenderfoot, No, Microsoft has no official blocking API in the browser itself that you can hook into, which is documented | Nov 02 16:06 |
DaemonFC | Gecko has for a while, Adblock Plus just kind of snaps in and uses that | Nov 02 16:06 |
tenderfoot | i only said my IE has add block, and im not wrong.. it does. | Nov 02 16:06 |
DaemonFC | Opera has had an ad blocker built in for a while, you just need a file with rules for it in your profile folder | Nov 02 16:07 |
DaemonFC | Meh, all of them I've seen for IE were such bug-ridden hackjobs that I gave up | Nov 02 16:07 |
DaemonFC | The guy that wrote Adblock Plus even put an entry in his blog detailing why he'll never bother making one for IE | Nov 02 16:08 |
DaemonFC | http://adblockplus.org/blog/adblock-for-internet-explorer-is-not-an-option | Nov 02 16:08 |
phIRCe-local | Title: Adblock Plus and (a little) more: Adblock for Internet Explorer is not an option .::. Size~: 70.19 KB | Nov 02 16:08 |
tenderfoot | ok fine I have no argument with that, but you said IE does not have add block, I was simply correcting you, you should try to say things that are actually true, it does wonders for your reputation. | Nov 02 16:08 |
DaemonFC | Internet Explorer is very different from Firefox. Firefox is extensible, this is one of its very basic features. You can write extensions in XUL and JavaScript, this does not only allow extensions to be built fast but also makes sure that you can change virtually anything the browser does. Internet Explorer on the other hand requires binary plugins meaning that you have to use a compiled language like C++, this already increas | Nov 02 16:08 |
DaemonFC | es the development effort by factor 10 at the very least (that’s the main reason why there are only few really free Internet Explorer extensions). Furthermore, these extensions can only communicate with the browser through predefined interfaces. “New toolbar? Great! Context menu item? Should be doable. Checking everything the browser loads before the browser loads it? Why would you want that? Go build a local proxy server. | Nov 02 16:08 |

wallc | Hey, the Guardian article looks great! | Nov 02 16:09 |
wallc | Though it looks like "Ubuntu" was mentioned more than once, so "wallclimber" must have been having a senior moment. | Nov 02 16:10 |
DaemonFC | tenderfoot, Another problem with building "extensions" for IE is that as compiled binaries using a documented API, you can only do very limited things and a new version of IE may break them. | Nov 02 16:10 |
wallc | Also, in the 20:18 segment of the transcript, Charles states that Microsoft is "at risk of simply becoming really..." - there are a couple of missing words at the end. I've listened to the podcast several times, and I believe the missing words are "really sclerotic". | Nov 02 16:10 |
DaemonFC | tenderfoot, Another problem would appear if IE was cross platform, the binary extensions would need recompiled or rewritten for every platform | Nov 02 16:10 |
wallc | What a funny/odd way to describe Microsoft. If that's actually what he said (and it certainly sounds like it) it means: "Affected or marked by sclerosis" (according to Dictionary.com). | Nov 02 16:10 |
DaemonFC | Firefox extensions work on every operating system that Firefox works on | Nov 02 16:11 |
DaemonFC | unchanged | Nov 02 16:11 |
wallc | One of the definitions of sclerosis is: "an increase of connective tissue or the like at the expense of more active tissue." | Nov 02 16:11 |

schestowitz | > VDU like I used to, goes all blurry. | Nov 02 16:12 |
DaemonFC | So whether you want to use Adblock Plus or most any other extension, the same extension, unmodified, will work on Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS, eComStation (OS/2) | Nov 02 16:12 |
schestowitz | Just got this from someone | Nov 02 16:12 |
DaemonFC | and more | Nov 02 16:12 |
DaemonFC | there only has to be one extension, written one time, and it works anywhere | Nov 02 16:12 |
DaemonFC | there really are not that many freeware IE extensions out there, and the ones you have to pay for are craptacular | Nov 02 16:13 |
DaemonFC | IE keeps getting all these features nobody asked for and all these new features designed to spy on you or let other companies exploit you | Nov 02 16:14 |
wallc | Do you think I'm correct about the missing words in the podcast? | Nov 02 16:16 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft doesn't want to admit it, but IE is at the same usage share it was at in 1999, and falling | Nov 02 16:16 |
tenderfoot | wallc, it does not make any sense for it to be the word you think it is IMO. | Nov 02 16:16 |
wallc | tenderfoot, did you listen to it? | Nov 02 16:17 |
DaemonFC | If they wanted to get more users of IE, they would have to make it do the things users want it to do, and quit trying to whore the users out to "partners" | Nov 02 16:17 |
*jono has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) | Nov 02 16:17 | |
tenderfoot | no, but I read the word you think it is, and that makes no sense. | Nov 02 16:17 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz, They'll probably open a Microsoft store in Castleton, Indiana first | Nov 02 16:27 |
wallc | DaemonFC, I had a good time there. | Nov 02 16:27 |
schestowitz | Hilarious! | Nov 02 16:27 |
DaemonFC | They'll open their first Microsoft Store in Indiana in Castleton, causethat's where the Apple store is | Nov 02 16:28 |
ThistleWeb | trigger happy tv is funny in small doses, they just tried to expand it way beyond what the idea was really worth | Nov 02 16:28 |
DaemonFC | yes, there's only one Apple store in Indiana | Nov 02 16:28 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 02 16:28 |
schestowitz | Why are shops the centre of culture in the US? :-) | Nov 02 16:28 |
schestowitz | People socialise in malls, they say.. | Nov 02 16:28 |
ThistleWeb | when it gets to be the same gags done to a lot of different peeps, the fun wears off | Nov 02 16:28 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, Malls are dying out anyway | Nov 02 16:28 |
wallc | I didn't go to the Apple store here, but I did visit the Sony Styles store downstairs from the MS store. | Nov 02 16:28 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: ebiz? | Nov 02 16:29 |
schestowitz | Sony? Be careful | Nov 02 16:29 |
DaemonFC | getting harder to compete with Walmart and online shopping | Nov 02 16:29 |
DaemonFC | and get the margins they want, anyway | Nov 02 16:29 |
schestowitz | Don't stand near devices with battieries | Nov 02 16:29 |
wallc | The mall where the MS store is, is a very busy one. It was crowded. | Nov 02 16:29 |
ThistleWeb | wallc: in 1900 freak shows were also real popular | Nov 02 16:29 |
wallc | It's full of high-end retailers though, so the money is still there for them. | Nov 02 16:30 |
wallc | I did leave the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mandriva, and Google Search sites open on several of the display computers... | Nov 02 16:30 |
schestowitz | Why not the actual sites? | Nov 02 16:31 |
wallc | I also commented to a sales girl that there seemed to only be upgrade boxes of Win7, but no full installs...she found a full install way down on the bottom shelf. | Nov 02 16:31 |
schestowitz | Were they blacklisted? | Nov 02 16:31 |
wallc | Then she assured me that an upgrade from XP was really easy to do...lol | Nov 02 16:32 |
DaemonFC | mmmm, define "easy" | Nov 02 16:32 |
schestowitz | It's not possible | Nov 02 16:32 |
schestowitz | Microsoft says so | Nov 02 16:32 |

DaemonFC | I formatted Vista off and clean installed 7 | Nov 02 16:32 |
DaemonFC | I don't like upgrades, never have | Nov 02 16:32 |
wallc | I did get two "BING" balls for free...lol | Nov 02 16:33 |
DaemonFC | did you have to leave your balls there as a deposit? | Nov 02 16:33 |
DaemonFC | :P | Nov 02 16:33 |
wallc | I did explain to the sales girl that the upgrade path for XP doesn't sound as easy as she said. | Nov 02 16:34 |
DaemonFC | wallc, They're only saying what they've been trained to | Nov 02 16:34 |
ThistleWeb | they said xp needed wiped and a fresh install, there is no upgrade path | Nov 02 16:34 |
DaemonFC | once they sell you the software and you open it and find out how EASY the upgrade is, it's illegal to return it | Nov 02 16:34 |
DaemonFC | so they win | Nov 02 16:34 |
wallc | I didn't want to cause hardship for the help, they were all very friendly. | Nov 02 16:34 |

schestowitz | [16:33] <wallc> I did get two "BING" balls for free...lol | Nov 02 16:35 |
schestowitz | That sounds so wrong | Nov 02 16:35 |
ThistleWeb | they claimed vista was an easy upgrade even though it's proving not to be true | Nov 02 16:35 |
schestowitz | Yeah, and.... | Nov 02 16:36 |
schestowitz | They delayed release cause of it | Nov 02 16:36 |
schestowitz | People might not remember, but Microsoft pulled off the RTM of Vista for 'quality' | Nov 02 16:36 |
schestowitz | They said the upgrader was broken | Nov 02 16:36 |
wallc | The part of the store that seemed less than happy was at the back, where the "Knowledge Center" (I forget what it's called) was. | Nov 02 16:36 |
schestowitz | Well, it was broken even after another few weeks/month of work | Nov 02 16:36 |
wallc | The help looked stressed, and there were lots of people in line there, none of them looked happy.... | Nov 02 16:37 |
schestowitz | :-D | Nov 02 16:37 |
schestowitz | That's why it's at the back | Nov 02 16:37 |
schestowitz | Keep away from the display window | Nov 02 16:37 |
schestowitz | It's always like that | Nov 02 16:37 |

schestowitz | In Ubuntu it's the "Mono corner" | Nov 02 16:38 |
wallc | I was surprised by the sales help. Two of the women were my age, and one was quite plump. I had assumed the stores would only hire "pretty" mid30s aged kids. | Nov 02 16:38 |

wallc | Well, I agree that there are a lot of goofy old farts in Florida, but I also can point out a large amount of youngsters (between 20 and 40) who do some extraordinarily stupid things, financially...so age isn't the key to being a dumbass. | Nov 02 16:54 |

wallc | DaemonFC, I had a 30 year mortgage once. Paid double payments whenever I could. The house was fully paid for in 1993. I consider it to have been the best investment I ever made. | Nov 02 16:57 |

_Hicham_ | the Best Download Manager ever is proprietary, and Windows Only | Nov 02 19:40 |
DaemonFC | I was at a restaurant yesterday and forgot that's when all the old fossils from church would be there | Nov 02 19:40 |

DaemonFC | one guy had dial up | Nov 02 19:40 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: that's demeaning to older people | Nov 02 19:41 |
DaemonFC | the woman he was talking to said she took the computer to the repair shop | Nov 02 19:41 |
schestowitz | Watch the language | Nov 02 19:41 |
DaemonFC | lmao | Nov 02 19:41 |
schestowitz | Do you also call your grandma "fossil"? | Nov 02 19:41 |
DaemonFC | said she paid them $100 to figure out why her youtube videos were stopping to buffer | Nov 02 19:41 |
DaemonFC | they're out of touch, severely out of touch | Nov 02 19:42 |
schestowitz | Yes, old ripoffs | Nov 02 19:42 |
schestowitz | That's how they make money | Nov 02 19:42 |
schestowitz | "Leave the computer over for inpection" | Nov 02 19:42 |
schestowitz | It's worse then garage scams | Nov 02 19:42 |
_Hicham_ | what a nice way to talk | Nov 02 19:42 |
schestowitz | My mom was charges like 30 quid for a stupid power unit to be replaced... cause it was knackered | Nov 02 19:42 |
schestowitz | My shaver..... | Nov 02 19:43 |
DaemonFC | I was just eavesdropping, but she probably had one of those slow budget DSL lines | Nov 02 19:43 |
schestowitz | About a month ago theyn charged my 20 quid to replace a battery! | Nov 02 19:43 |
schestowitz | $30!!! | Nov 02 19:43 |
DaemonFC | it's like "I have DSL, so it can't be my connection" | Nov 02 19:43 |
DaemonFC | "Better take the PC to the shop" | Nov 02 19:43 |
schestowitz | They make a whole day's wage extorting people with a little tin of lead | Nov 02 19:44 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, She probably could have just got a faster DSL conenction for like $5 a month more | Nov 02 19:44 |
DaemonFC | and been done with it | Nov 02 19:44 |
schestowitz | Take PC to shop implies the PC is "ill" | Nov 02 19:44 |
schestowitz | Not the ISP | Nov 02 19:44 |
_Hicham_ | then how repair shops will make money ? | Nov 02 19:45 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, People that age don't typically understand what they're buying, in my observation | Nov 02 19:45 |
_Hicham_ | that is how a lot of people are living | Nov 02 19:45 |
DaemonFC | she probably just got the $20 a month 768 kbps plan | Nov 02 19:45 |
_Hicham_ | u want to cut their earning | Nov 02 19:45 |
schestowitz | It's like taking the kid to the d0ct0rs cause he can't run fast | Nov 02 19:45 |
DaemonFC | and ignored the $25 a month 1.5 Mbps plan | Nov 02 19:45 |
_Hicham_ | that is how commerce goes | Nov 02 19:45 |
_Hicham_ | it is a service | Nov 02 19:45 |
DaemonFC | that's how they are, cheap and ignorant | Nov 02 19:45 |

_Hicham_ | schestowitz : not really | Nov 02 19:45 |
schestowitz | And if fewer exist then, well fine.... redundancies will eliminate unnecessary jobs | Nov 02 19:46 |
_Hicham_ | real problems are not solved | Nov 02 19:46 |
_Hicham_ | we need jobs | Nov 02 19:46 |
_Hicham_ | otherwise, what will those people do? | Nov 02 19:46 |
DaemonFC | there's a difference between being "cheap" and being pragmatic and frugal | Nov 02 19:46 |
_Hicham_ | start agressing people like DaemonFC does ? | Nov 02 19:46 |
DaemonFC | people who are "cheap" insist on making a car last 30 years and wearing a pair of shoes til their toes are poking out | Nov 02 19:46 |
_Hicham_ | when he have no money, he takes his small gun and start agressing people | Nov 02 19:47 |
DaemonFC | I mean, it's beyond reason | Nov 02 19:47 |
_Hicham_ | "give me money, or i will kill u" | Nov 02 19:47 |
schestowitz | Don't troll him | Nov 02 19:47 |
*amarsh04_ has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) | Nov 02 19:47 | |
schestowitz | The shops can make money being honest | Nov 02 19:47 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, I've never shot anyone. What would be the penalty for wasting you? $5 fine? | Nov 02 19:47 |
schestowitz | Not by expoiting ignorance | Nov 02 19:48 |
*DaemonFC scratches his chin | Nov 02 19:48 | |
DaemonFC | not worth it | Nov 02 19:48 |
schestowitz | The shops have good guys and bad guys | Nov 02 19:48 |
schestowitz | I worked in a computer store when I was 18 | Nov 02 19:48 |
schestowitz | And I was one of the good guys | Nov 02 19:48 |
schestowitz | I didn't shove to people stuff they don't need | Nov 02 19:48 |
_Hicham_ | DaemonFC : u can't even kill a chicken | Nov 02 19:48 |
schestowitz | Like extra equipment or too expensive a product | Nov 02 19:48 |
schestowitz | I guess it made me a "bad" employee :-) | Nov 02 19:48 |
DaemonFC | _Hicham_, You can't even figure out how to choke the Bishop | Nov 02 19:48 |
DaemonFC | :P | Nov 02 19:48 |
schestowitz | "Good employee" = "evil bastard" | Nov 02 19:49 |
schestowitz | "Bad employee" = "honest person" | Nov 02 19:49 |
_Hicham_ | yes, being honest is bad | Nov 02 19:49 |
schestowitz | It's not | Nov 02 19:49 |
_Hicham_ | honesty in not profitable | Nov 02 19:49 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, No, a good manager is an evil bastard who puts downward pressure on good people into doing things they know they shouldn't | Nov 02 19:49 |
schestowitz | Depends what you mean by "bad" | Nov 02 19:49 |
_Hicham_ | companies wants profit | Nov 02 19:49 |
DaemonFC | that's how a company functions | Nov 02 19:49 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: they do other things too | Nov 02 19:50 |
schestowitz | It does not justify them | Nov 02 19:50 |
schestowitz | Like ruining the environment | Nov 02 19:50 |
DaemonFC | an excellent manager strings middle managers around through judicious use of threats and bribes | Nov 02 19:50 |
schestowitz | THe solution is rule-changing | Nov 02 19:50 |
schestowitz | Like measuring performance in composite terms | Nov 02 19:50 |
schestowitz | Such as, how many sales are made as function (per) extraction from nature and pollution | Nov 02 19:51 |
schestowitz | For employees they can measure customer satisfaction | Nov 02 19:51 |
schestowitz | And then use that to assess with new metrics | Nov 02 19:51 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, The worst part about being a salaried manager at Walmart were the people that came into the store | Nov 02 19:51 |
DaemonFC | sometimes that means customers, usually it means people trying to rip you off | Nov 02 19:52 |
schestowitz | Sure you can ignore labour rules, take lunch breaks out, make people work 15 hrs/day | Nov 02 19:52 |
schestowitz | You would do "well" as a manager | Nov 02 19:52 |
schestowitz | More profit | Nov 02 19:52 |
schestowitz | But there are regulations | Nov 02 19:52 |

_Hicham_ | only profit matters | Nov 02 19:52 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, My favorite day was when one of the employees caught a guy trying to steal a bunch of cold medicine | Nov 02 19:52 |
DaemonFC | before we had to lock it up in the back of the pharmacy | Nov 02 19:53 |
schestowitz | _Hicham_: doesn't mean it should | Nov 02 19:53 |
_Hicham_ | for instance, I will force people like DaemonFC to work for more than 16 hours/day | Nov 02 19:53 |
DaemonFC | the guy panicked, and took off running | Nov 02 19:53 |
schestowitz | It's like saying, "slavery is here, cope with it" | Nov 02 19:53 |
DaemonFC | and I ducked behind a display and clotheslined him on the way by | Nov 02 19:53 |

_Hicham_ | joblessness is all over | Nov 02 19:54 |
cubezzz | probably too many | Nov 02 19:54 |
schestowitz | "Jobs" are misunderstood | Nov 02 19:54 |
schestowitz | Like other terms that are created for a mode | Nov 02 19:55 |
schestowitz | SOme "jobs" are better off eliminated | Nov 02 19:55 |
schestowitz | Such as "lobbyists" | Nov 02 19:55 |
cubezzz | I'm always working myself | Nov 02 19:55 |
DaemonFC | he made a very satisfying "thump" | Nov 02 19:55 |
schestowitz | So I don't buy the whole "job creation" thing | Nov 02 19:55 |
schestowitz | Babysitting your kid is a job too | Nov 02 19:55 |
cubezzz | self-employed = perma-job | Nov 02 19:55 |
schestowitz | The real jobs are usually extraction and construction | Nov 02 19:55 |
schestowitz | They are the few which actually produce real transformation | Nov 02 19:56 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, if they just enforced, E-Verify, there would be another 12-15 million American jobs | Nov 02 19:56 |
DaemonFC | but they won't because it's not politically correct | Nov 02 19:56 |

schestowitz | Engineering edu in the US is almost mostly occupied by foreigners | Nov 02 19:58 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, They put foreigners in there ahead of qualified Americans | Nov 02 19:58 |
schestowitz | Sagan even talked about it in the 80s | Nov 02 19:58 |
_Hicham_ | huh, the us can't make its universities public | Nov 02 19:58 |
cubezzz | > schestowitz, They are the few which actually produce real transformation | Nov 02 19:58 |

_Hicham_ | DaemonFC does a face lift every month | Nov 02 20:02 |
DaemonFC | vain women who don't want to feel as old as they are | Nov 02 20:02 |

schestowitz | But it's the protocol they ought to open | Nov 02 22:51 |
schestowitz | Protocols even | Nov 02 22:51 |
MinceR | and that's exactly what they aren't going to open | Nov 02 22:51 |
schestowitz | Can they not? | Nov 02 22:51 |
oiaohm | I was thinking from install issues. | Nov 02 22:52 |
schestowitz | If the code is available.... | Nov 02 22:52 |
schestowitz | basically they want to carry on controlling the endpoints | Nov 02 22:52 |
oiaohm | Really with skype there is no techical reason to keep the protocal closed. | Nov 02 22:52 |
oiaohm | Since users pay to use there servers. | Nov 02 22:52 |
MinceR | they want to deliver a black box into our machines | Nov 02 22:52 |

schestowitz | ebay doesn't want it | Nov 02 22:53 |
oiaohm | open source client would take the load off ebay in maintaining. | Nov 02 22:53 |
oiaohm | So making it more possiable that land line linkage might be profitable. | Nov 02 22:54 |
schestowitz | Yes | Nov 02 22:54 |
schestowitz | Also more plugins | Nov 02 22:54 |

schestowitz | The real FS... GPL | Nov 02 22:55 |
oiaohm | Lets wait and see. | Nov 02 22:55 |
oiaohm | Depending on the licence skype protocal might be usable as a Ekiga plugin. | Nov 02 22:55 |
schestowitz | http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/16199/1/ | Nov 02 22:56 |
MinceR | i think people should just man up, configure their routers properly and use SIP | Nov 02 22:56 |
*schestowitz SIPs grog | Nov 02 22:56 | |
MinceR | or even better, use text-based asynchronous communication over protocols like IRC and XMPP | Nov 02 22:57 |
oiaohm | People wants just works not having to mess with routers MinceR | Nov 02 22:57 |
MinceR | and so they operate proxies for others in their homes | Nov 02 22:57 |
oiaohm | XMPP is a valid future option. | Nov 02 22:57 |
MinceR | and let skype run any code they want on their computers | Nov 02 22:57 |
*amarsh04 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Nov 02 22:58 | |
oiaohm | Remember MinceR opening the client means at less of the client has to be reversed to work out the protocal. | Nov 02 22:58 |
oiaohm | No more secrets is slowly coming true in the computer world. | Nov 02 22:58 |
MinceR | they're revealing a very tiny bit of the least relevant part of their secrets | Nov 02 22:59 |
oiaohm | For the most effectiveness they have to split off the hooks to the system audio as well MinceR | Nov 02 23:01 |
oiaohm | So really all that is left that is closed is the protocal processing engine. Something that a plugin could be built around into other clients. | Nov 02 23:02 |
oiaohm | So simplerfying migration to other protocals MinceR | Nov 02 23:03 |
