yuhong | To be honest, what helped was that it was tied to a piece of hardware. | Nov 29 00:00 |
yuhong | If it was bought with that piece of HW, the price of Altair BASIC was low, otherwise it was high | Nov 29 00:00 |

yuhong | Unfortuately, that piece of HW had many problem, and the price of the the software without that piece of HW had to be dropped. | Nov 29 00:02 |
yuhong | BTW, if you are wondering what that piece of HW was and what problem it had, hold on, it will take a while to describe. | Nov 29 00:03 |

cubezzz | yes :) | Nov 29 00:03 |
yuhong | Anyone remember the S-100 bus. | Nov 29 00:03 |
cubezzz | I know about S-100 | Nov 29 00:03 |
yuhong | It originated in the Altair. | Nov 29 00:03 |
yuhong | Back in 1975, made by Ed Roberts. | Nov 29 00:04 |
cubezzz | I'm not positive, but I don't think Commodore used S-100 bus | Nov 29 00:05 |
cubezzz | is MITS still in business? | Nov 29 00:06 |
yuhong | That piece of HW was a 4K DRAM card for the S-100 bus made by Altair. | Nov 29 00:06 |
yuhong | No, it was sold to Pertec. | Nov 29 00:06 |

yuhong | For the 1K card, yes. | Nov 29 00:10 |
cubezzz | 1K yeah | Nov 29 00:10 |
cubezzz | like the KIM-1 | Nov 29 00:10 |
yuhong | The 4K card used DRAM, and that was where the troubles came in. | Nov 29 00:11 |

cubezzz | you need to watch those Ampersands | Nov 29 00:25 |
cubezzz | SRAM ftw | Nov 29 00:25 |
yuhong | That had less trouble, but then Altair BASIC was far more expensive (something like $80 vs $500) | Nov 29 00:26 |
cubezzz | what am I downloading schestowitz? :) | Nov 29 00:26 |
yuhong | Ed Roberts later had to reduce the $500 to $200. | Nov 29 00:27 |
yuhong | Because of the troubles. | Nov 29 00:27 |
cubezzz | yeah the first thing I noticed was the TRS-80 Model 1 | Nov 29 00:28 |

yuhong | What was particularly sad about this episode was that back in 1980, IBM was the evil giant. | Nov 29 00:35 |
cubezzz | I remember 1980 :) | Nov 29 00:36 |
cubezzz | the time of Commodore PETs, Apple II, and TRS-80 Model 1 | Nov 29 00:37 |
cubezzz | and mini-computers | Nov 29 00:37 |
cubezzz | KIM-1 was relatively cheap | Nov 29 00:38 |
yuhong | IBM inadvertently helped MS became a monopoly by choosing it for the IBM PC. | Nov 29 00:38 |
cubezzz | too bad I never got one | Nov 29 00:38 |
yuhong | What was really sad was why IBM ended up having to do this, discussed above. | Nov 29 00:39 |

oiaohm | yuhong: costs that simple. | Nov 29 00:39 |
cubezzz | yuhong, the bad time or dark ages is over | Nov 29 00:39 |
yuhong | What do you mean? | Nov 29 00:39 |
oiaohm | Dos was cheeper than anything else in the OS market at the time IBM was making the XT. | Nov 29 00:40 |
cubezzz | we have cheap computers, Free OS, Free BIOSes | Nov 29 00:40 |
yuhong | I know. | Nov 29 00:40 |
oiaohm | IBM never had any idea the XT would even sell large numbers. | Nov 29 00:40 |
yuhong | Yea, that helped. | Nov 29 00:40 |
oiaohm | Reason why MS fears Linux so much is that is cheaper than them. | Nov 29 00:40 |
yuhong | It was more than just costs. | Nov 29 00:40 |
cubezzz | and that you can download the source code :) | Nov 29 00:41 |
oiaohm | No ibm paperwork over them taking up Dos was pure costs yuhong | Nov 29 00:41 |
cubezzz | extrapolate into the future... what will happen? | Nov 29 00:41 |
oiaohm | Ibm did not even bother making MS execusive. | Nov 29 00:41 |
yuhong | Yep. | Nov 29 00:41 |
yuhong | Not just costs, though it helped. | Nov 29 00:41 |
cubezzz | believe me, IBM does not like Microsoft | Nov 29 00:42 |
oiaohm | Dos was a rough clone of CP/M yuhong | Nov 29 00:42 |
yuhong | Yep. | Nov 29 00:42 |
oiaohm | Yes a really rough clone. | Nov 29 00:42 |
yuhong | But I already discussed that incident above. | Nov 29 00:42 |
cubezzz | genie is out of the bottle now, no going back | Nov 29 00:42 |
oiaohm | Ibm had the idea of selling CP/M as the main OS. | Nov 29 00:42 |
oiaohm | If what IBM had planed had worked the world would have been a lot better place. | Nov 29 00:42 |
yuhong | Exactly. I already discussed that story above. | Nov 29 00:43 |
oiaohm | But mice and men apply. | Nov 29 00:43 |
oiaohm | IBM was one of the first major supporters of Linux in the hardware world. | Nov 29 00:43 |
yuhong | And SCP sold that clone to MS. | Nov 29 00:43 |
cubezzz | seems idiotic now :) | Nov 29 00:43 |
oiaohm | IBM hates MS really. | Nov 29 00:43 |
oiaohm | Sun also hates MS. | Nov 29 00:43 |
oiaohm | MS double crossed there major supporters. | Nov 29 00:44 |
yuhong | Yep, the JDA was broken in 1991. | Nov 29 00:44 |
cubezzz | the gloves are off now | Nov 29 00:44 |
oiaohm | We are not at war yet. | Nov 29 00:44 |
cubezzz | if they were over on :) | Nov 29 00:44 |
yuhong | And IBM ended up going their own way with PC-DOS and OS/ | Nov 29 00:44 |
oiaohm | Its only the warm up. | Nov 29 00:45 |
oiaohm | PC-DOS is MS DOS yuhong | Nov 29 00:45 |
cubezzz | war is over, Microsoft will lose | Nov 29 00:45 |
oiaohm | Ie PC-DOS is the one IBM bought. | Nov 29 00:45 |
oiaohm | Not exactly yet. cubezzz | Nov 29 00:45 |
yuhong | Yep, was MS-DOS. | Nov 29 00:45 |
oiaohm | Reactos vs Linux is still to come. | Nov 29 00:45 |
yuhong | Yep. | Nov 29 00:45 |
cubezzz | the Linux community will not use Reactos | Nov 29 00:46 |
cubezzz | not the hardcore anyway | Nov 29 00:46 |
ender2070 | nobody will use reactos | Nov 29 00:46 |
ender2070 | lol | Nov 29 00:46 |
oiaohm | What about the Windows Community. | Nov 29 00:46 |
ender2070 | they'll use windows | Nov 29 00:46 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, perhaps | Nov 29 00:46 |

oiaohm | yuhong: the same rules that applied when IBM did the deal with MS. | Nov 29 00:48 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - i got win7 for free legally, isnt that a price drop? | Nov 29 00:48 |
oiaohm | Cheepest wins in the end. | Nov 29 00:48 |

schestowitz | Or small threshold | Nov 29 01:56 |

amarsh04 | I have a radeon 9200se in this machine - no fan on the graphics card | Nov 29 04:30 |
willimm | Diablo-D3: About the 5770, you can Crossfire it to get it as fast as a 5870 or so. | Nov 29 04:32 |
amarsh04 | I'd rather a machine that could play full motion dvd quality video and sound with free drivers and passive cooling than something that ate power and made the room hot | Nov 29 04:32 |
Diablo-D3 | willimm: not really worth it | Nov 29 04:33 |
willimm | Diablo-D3: Then I'll stick with the 5770. | Nov 29 04:33 |
willimm | It's a VERY good card anyway. | Nov 29 04:33 |

willimm | I love high end graphics. | Nov 29 04:36 |
willimm | Haldo? | Nov 29 04:36 |
ender2070 | im probably gonna go intel graphics next time | Nov 29 04:38 |
willimm | ender2070: I don't really use Intel now. | Nov 29 04:38 |
willimm | And it's not high powered. | Nov 29 04:38 |
ender2070 | its good enough | Nov 29 04:39 |
ender2070 | i avoid amd myself | Nov 29 04:39 |
willimm | ender2070: It's your option, but I like AMD/ATI better, and sometimes I use Nvidia. | Nov 29 04:40 |
ender2070 | I have nvidia right now | Nov 29 04:40 |
willimm | Me too, for now. | Nov 29 04:41 |
ender2070 | i had a 4850 but it was complete shit | Nov 29 04:41 |
ender2070 | now i have a 9800 GTX+ | Nov 29 04:41 |
willimm | Hmm, I'll look into it, and it seems very good, I'll try it, it's probaly a good idea... | Nov 29 04:44 |
willimm | The card you mentioned: | Nov 29 04:45 |
willimm | was more affordable than the one I was going to get. I'l look into it. | Nov 29 04:46 |

DaemonFC | you could put hardcore porn on C-Span and nobody would ever know | Nov 29 04:59 |
cubezzz | Jesse Jackson is complaining about something at the moment :) | Nov 29 05:02 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: The Nazis (which would be any white person) are in a mass conspiracy to put poison in the drinking water that only kills "African-Americans" | Nov 29 05:03 |
DaemonFC | of course | Nov 29 05:03 |
DaemonFC | Jesse Jackson is a racist | Nov 29 05:04 |
DaemonFC | as racist as they get | Nov 29 05:04 |
DaemonFC | of course, people like fewa mistakenly believe that only white people can be racists | Nov 29 05:05 |
DaemonFC | they also are presumptuous gasbags that call black people "African Americans" | Nov 29 05:06 |
DaemonFC | political correctness | Nov 29 05:06 |
DaemonFC | nobody else that has never been a citizen of any other country or continent would ever demand that you call them something like that | Nov 29 05:07 |
DaemonFC | black people get hung up over saying an incorrect phrase that does not describe people | Nov 29 05:08 |
DaemonFC | just to not hurt feelings I guess | Nov 29 05:08 |
DaemonFC | I suppose if someone actually came here from Africa, they would be an African-American | Nov 29 05:08 |
DaemonFC | but it could easily be a white person from South Africa or something, then what do you do? | Nov 29 05:09 |
DaemonFC | people have been so conditioned to think African American = Black that you'd really blow their minds if you showed them a real American who came from the African continent that was white | Nov 29 05:10 |
DaemonFC | they'd blow a fuse because you used the term in a valid context | Nov 29 05:10 |

DaemonFC | I dunno whether to buy a Blu Ray player or an upscaling DVD player | Nov 29 05:16 |
DaemonFC | the DVD players that do that start around $35, and the Blu Ray players start around $128 | Nov 29 05:17 |
ender2070 | best ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdq4Llr-K-s | Nov 29 05:17 |
DaemonFC | I'll probably just get a HDMI hookup and let my XBOX 360 be my upconversion DVD player | Nov 29 05:17 |
DaemonFC | the Monster Cable HDMI cable for the 360 is actually cheaper than the Microsoft one by $10 | Nov 29 05:19 |
DaemonFC | that's the first time I've seen Monster cables look like a bargain | Nov 29 05:19 |
ender2070 | yeah really | Nov 29 05:26 |
ender2070 | usually they are a monster rip off | Nov 29 05:26 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: They sell those cables at Walmart | Nov 29 05:27 |
DaemonFC | an HDMI cale should run no more than $30 | Nov 29 05:27 |
DaemonFC | Monster sells them for $80 | Nov 29 05:27 |
ender2070 | $14.99 | Nov 29 05:27 |
DaemonFC | *cable | Nov 29 05:27 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: a shielded one? | Nov 29 05:27 |
DaemonFC | about 6-8 feet | Nov 29 05:27 |
DaemonFC | about $30 | Nov 29 05:28 |
DaemonFC | the cables cost as much as some upscaling DVD players | Nov 29 05:28 |

ender2070 | i was thinking hdmi 1.0 which is cheaper | Nov 29 05:29 |
DaemonFC | I found a player for $29 on Walmart's site | Nov 29 05:29 |
DaemonFC | I don't know that the upscaling would do a lot for a DVD. Would it? | Nov 29 05:29 |
DaemonFC | I mean it's just stretching the image | Nov 29 05:29 |
ender2070 | think about expanding a 640x480 wallpaper to 1024x768 | Nov 29 05:30 |
ender2070 | same idea | Nov 29 05:30 |
ender2070 | hdmi is kind of a waste of money atm anyways | Nov 29 05:30 |
DaemonFC | I'm sure the DVD player does smooth the image and such, right? | Nov 29 05:31 |
ender2070 | it'll still look like shit on your hd tv | Nov 29 05:31 |
ender2070 | what brand tv do you have | Nov 29 05:31 |
DaemonFC | Emerson | Nov 29 05:32 |
DaemonFC | it surprised me actually | Nov 29 05:32 |
DaemonFC | I thought the bargain basement TV might have a lousy picture or bad speakers or something | Nov 29 05:33 |
DaemonFC | it does as well as sets that cost a lot more | Nov 29 05:33 |
DaemonFC | all this stuff comes off the same lines anyway | Nov 29 05:33 |
ender2070 | is it refurbished? | Nov 29 05:33 |
DaemonFC | there's not as much brand difference as there once was | Nov 29 05:33 |
DaemonFC | nope | Nov 29 05:34 |
DaemonFC | new | Nov 29 05:34 |
ender2070 | wow | Nov 29 05:34 |
ender2070 | thats pretty good for emerson, you're lucky | Nov 29 05:34 |
DaemonFC | I got it as a Walmart loss leader on Friday's sale | Nov 29 05:34 |
ender2070 | the screens are designed by only a few companies | Nov 29 05:34 |
DaemonFC | people were lined up across the store for 44 TV sets | Nov 29 05:34 |
ender2070 | last I heard there were 3 companys that made them | Nov 29 05:34 |
DaemonFC | and I got mine B-) | Nov 29 05:34 |
ender2070 | well as long as it works, you got a good deal | Nov 29 05:35 |
ender2070 | one of the places I used to work at had mountains of refurbished emerson products | Nov 29 05:35 |
DaemonFC | they sold them for $248 and after the sale, Walmart.com put them back up for $318 | Nov 29 05:36 |
DaemonFC | so I saved quite a lot by bothering to stand in line | Nov 29 05:37 |

DaemonFC | ender2070: I'm not real worried about it | Nov 29 05:38 |
DaemonFC | the biggest difference between this and the $400 Samsung is probably the software | Nov 29 05:38 |
DaemonFC | the Walmart here doesn't have any 32" sets under $399 now | Nov 29 05:39 |
DaemonFC | so I wasn't about to pay that for a television, but I didn't want to get stuck with some dinky little 19" display which is what you normally get on $250 | Nov 29 05:39 |
DaemonFC | I always wait til Black Friday for electronics | Nov 29 05:40 |
*Balrog (n=Balrog@166.196.37.154) has joined #boycottnovell | Nov 29 05:40 | |
DaemonFC | my last TV got my a punch across the face from some pissed off redneck at the sale | Nov 29 05:40 |
DaemonFC | the cops were there doing security though, so they asked if I wanted to press charges and I told them yes | Nov 29 05:41 |
DaemonFC | :P | Nov 29 05:41 |
DaemonFC | *got me | Nov 29 05:41 |
DaemonFC | I don't know who tries to start a fight like 10 feet away from a couple of police officers | Nov 29 05:41 |
DaemonFC | over a television | Nov 29 05:41 |
DaemonFC | there's some that stupid I guess | Nov 29 05:42 |
ender2070 | i still enjoy my 29" standard def | Nov 29 05:43 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: I have that 27" CRT Samsung set in the kitchen now | Nov 29 05:44 |
DaemonFC | only place I felt like dragging it | Nov 29 05:44 |
ender2070 | hehe | Nov 29 05:44 |
ender2070 | mine is light, its a newer one | Nov 29 05:44 |
DaemonFC | it weighs 101 pounds | Nov 29 05:44 |
ender2070 | i have component, composite and coaxial | Nov 29 05:45 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: Well, at the time (2004), Kmart had it for like $198 for Black Friday | Nov 29 05:45 |
ender2070 | i got mine used from a friend | Nov 29 05:45 |
ender2070 | they upgraded to an hdtv | Nov 29 05:45 |
DaemonFC | I just wanted an HD display and didn't really understand a lot about them | Nov 29 05:45 |
DaemonFC | mistakes I did not repeat this time | Nov 29 05:46 |
ender2070 | not much makes use of HD yet | Nov 29 05:46 |
DaemonFC | the CRT one has no HD tuner and no HDMI or DVI | Nov 29 05:46 |
ender2070 | the only thing I own thats hdmi is my laptop and desktop | Nov 29 05:46 |
ender2070 | thats all I could hook up to it | Nov 29 05:46 |
DaemonFC | it's also a 4:3 and not a 16:10, so the XBOX 360 output at 1080i (widescreen resolution) looks warped | Nov 29 05:46 |
DaemonFC | this Emerson set I have now only tells you it does 720p, but it also does 1080i | Nov 29 05:47 |
DaemonFC | they don't have that listed on the box, it's on page 34 of the manual | Nov 29 05:47 |
DaemonFC | and I tested that out with my 360 | Nov 29 05:47 |
ender2070 | once im done paying my dell lease I might order a tv from them | Nov 29 05:47 |
DaemonFC | Yes, I read the manual | Nov 29 05:48 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 29 05:48 |
ender2070 | i want to hook my laptop up to a tv with hdmi and run boxee | Nov 29 05:48 |
DaemonFC | saves a lot of time and trouble later when the TV is doing something strange and you don't know how to make it stop | Nov 29 05:48 |
ender2070 | i have a media center right now running xbmc for linux | Nov 29 05:48 |
DaemonFC | and by that time, you may well have lost the manual as well... | Nov 29 05:48 |
DaemonFC | yeah, I used DVI to hook the TV up as my computer monitor briefly | Nov 29 05:49 |
DaemonFC | just cause I wanted to see how it worked | Nov 29 05:49 |
ender2070 | my laptop has real hdmi | Nov 29 05:50 |
ender2070 | not dvi | Nov 29 05:50 |
DaemonFC | my video card has VGA, DVI, and HDMI capabilities | Nov 29 05:50 |
DaemonFC | I just don't have a HDMI cable | Nov 29 05:50 |
ender2070 | the cables are such a rip off | Nov 29 05:50 |
ender2070 | im not sure you even have to worry about shielding | Nov 29 05:51 |
ender2070 | its digital cable | Nov 29 05:51 |
DaemonFC | the only things HDMI does that DVI doesn't is HDCP for Blu Ray copy protection, and audio | Nov 29 05:51 |
DaemonFC | right? | Nov 29 05:51 |
DaemonFC | that's not real important to me | Nov 29 05:51 |
DaemonFC | on the PC | Nov 29 05:51 |
ender2070 | DVI does HDCP | Nov 29 05:51 |
ender2070 | not audio | Nov 29 05:51 |
ender2070 | the audio is the addition | Nov 29 05:51 |
DaemonFC | oh | Nov 29 05:51 |
ender2070 | my pc monitor has hdcp | Nov 29 05:51 |
ender2070 | hdcp is stupid | Nov 29 05:51 |
DaemonFC | so since my GPU and my monitor are both HDCP compliant, I could watch full resolution Blu Ray discs if I buy I drive? | Nov 29 05:52 |
ender2070 | if I use the nvidia driver and unplug my monitor for any reason, i have to reboot the pc | Nov 29 05:52 |
DaemonFC | over DVI? | Nov 29 05:52 |
ender2070 | yes daemon | Nov 29 05:52 |
DaemonFC | hooray! | Nov 29 05:52 |
DaemonFC | no expensive cables and bullshit | Nov 29 05:52 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Nov 29 05:52 |
ender2070 | you'll still need hdmi if you want to output to your tv | Nov 29 05:52 |
DaemonFC | that's the turnoff, buying a player and then still needing a $30 cable | Nov 29 05:53 |
ender2070 | its stupid | Nov 29 05:53 |
ender2070 | cause they think people will steal movies that way | Nov 29 05:53 |
DaemonFC | it's even more of an insult if you get a cheapo upscaling DVD player and the cable is more expensive than the DVD player | Nov 29 05:53 |
ender2070 | people steal the movies anyways bypassing hdcp completely | Nov 29 05:53 |
DaemonFC | people already dump DVDs to their hard drive | Nov 29 05:53 |
DaemonFC | why do they care that the image has been stretched? | Nov 29 05:54 |
DaemonFC | I don't think it would make the picture that much better | Nov 29 05:54 |
ender2070 | stretched looks like shit | Nov 29 05:54 |
ender2070 | you'll see a sort of graininess | Nov 29 05:54 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: I rented some DVDs last night to watch on the new TV | Nov 29 05:54 |
DaemonFC | played them at 480P over component with the 360 | Nov 29 05:55 |
DaemonFC | it looked fantastic already | Nov 29 05:55 |
ender2070 | watch something hi def on it | Nov 29 05:55 |
ender2070 | and the dvd will make you scratch your eyes out | Nov 29 05:55 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: The only HD videos I've seen are in VC-1 format as part of XBOX 360 games | Nov 29 05:55 |
DaemonFC | it does look beautiful though | Nov 29 05:56 |
DaemonFC | shame Comcast has no HD programming | Nov 29 05:56 |
ender2070 | i think you can get some BBC hidef videos for free | Nov 29 05:56 |
DaemonFC | we don't get BBC here unless we take the Digital Classic package | Nov 29 05:56 |
DaemonFC | I'm on Digital Starter | Nov 29 05:56 |
DaemonFC | I'm on a $20 a month deal for this package that doesn't expire til August | Nov 29 05:57 |
ender2070 | unfortunately most of my friends have to steal hidef stuff just so they can make their tv usefull | Nov 29 05:57 |
DaemonFC | after that expires, I'll probably see what their promo is for a better package | Nov 29 05:58 |
ender2070 | my best friend had some blueray rip that was the size of a dvd (4.7gbish) | Nov 29 05:58 |
DaemonFC | if I can get like 1 year at $30 for another 50 channels, I'll do that | Nov 29 05:58 |
DaemonFC | I'm just moving between plans to get promotional prices | Nov 29 05:59 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Nov 29 05:59 |
ender2070 | i gave up on tv | Nov 29 05:59 |
DaemonFC | my promo on Digital Classic ran out so I bumped back to Starter | Nov 29 05:59 |
DaemonFC | so in August I'll probably do whatever comes after Classic | Nov 29 05:59 |
DaemonFC | that's probably where you start getting all the movie channels | Nov 29 05:59 |
cubezzz | fedora 11 | Nov 29 06:00 |
DaemonFC | right now all I get for movie channels is the Encore lineup | Nov 29 06:00 |
DaemonFC | all the "classic" movie channels like Turner and AMC | Nov 29 06:00 |
DaemonFC | I finally ended up watching Casablanca last night while eating dinner | Nov 29 06:01 |
DaemonFC | I get all the religious channels, but they pay Comcast to carry them | Nov 29 06:02 |
DaemonFC | I blocked them out with Parental Controls so I don't ever have to listen to it by mistake | Nov 29 06:02 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: I had HBO, and Showtime but I don't want to pay $30 a month more to watch movies from 1978 on a loop | Nov 29 06:04 |
DaemonFC | I can rent some first run DVDs out of the redbox machine for $1 per | Nov 29 06:04 |
DaemonFC | Encore is getting worse about that | Nov 29 06:06 |
DaemonFC | playing The Terminator every single day is their latest one :P | Nov 29 06:07 |
DaemonFC | I might ditch them too | Nov 29 06:07 |
DaemonFC | it took Comcast several years to transition from 480i to 480p | Nov 29 06:10 |
cubezzz | on antenna there are over a dozen hd channels 1080i | Nov 29 06:10 |
ender2070 | DaemonFC - I watch tv online | Nov 29 06:10 |
DaemonFC | by the time they have HD channels, people will be living on the Moon and Mars and watching holographic displays | Nov 29 06:10 |

ender2070 | www.tvshack.net | Nov 29 06:19 |
ender2070 | some of them can be parsed | Nov 29 06:19 |
ender2070 | it depends on the backend service | Nov 29 06:19 |
ender2070 | if its hosted on megavideo dont even try | Nov 29 06:20 |

ender2070 | daemonfc - i think the worst offender of program loops is TBS | Nov 29 06:24 |
ender2070 | they often would play some old 6 year old movie, like 4 times in a row | Nov 29 06:25 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: I need a three way splitter now after next month I think | Nov 29 06:25 |
DaemonFC | I get 5 of the HD channels they're bringing in next month | Nov 29 06:25 |
DaemonFC | but the "digital" box can't tune them in | Nov 29 06:25 |
ender2070 | yeah | Nov 29 06:26 |
ender2070 | see | Nov 29 06:26 |
cubezzz | ender2070, this looks like mostly movie trailers | Nov 29 06:26 |
ender2070 | its all a giant money grab atm | Nov 29 06:26 |
DaemonFC | so I'm going to have to use a splitter to hook up a coaxial cable to the TV | Nov 29 06:26 |
DaemonFC | and one to the box | Nov 29 06:26 |
DaemonFC | else I get to pay them $15 a month for an "HD" box | Nov 29 06:26 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - the movies are likely trailers, the tv shows arent | Nov 29 06:26 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: Is that what I should do? | Nov 29 06:27 |
DaemonFC | 3 way splitter or pay them more for the new box? | Nov 29 06:27 |
DaemonFC | that's how I have it figured out | Nov 29 06:27 |
ender2070 | you need the box | Nov 29 06:27 |
DaemonFC | nope | Nov 29 06:27 |
ender2070 | it decodes it for you | Nov 29 06:27 |
DaemonFC | my TV has the ATSC tuner, right? The "digital" box doesn't | Nov 29 06:27 |
ender2070 | oh | Nov 29 06:28 |
DaemonFC | you can get all 5 channels without the box, but the box would not be able to tune in to them | Nov 29 06:28 |
DaemonFC | the TV would | Nov 29 06:28 |
DaemonFC | get what I'm saying? | Nov 29 06:28 |
ender2070 | sort of | Nov 29 06:28 |
DaemonFC | the box only has an NTSC tuner | Nov 29 06:28 |
ender2070 | here the box is required because rogers uses encryption iirc | Nov 29 06:28 |
DaemonFC | so I would need a coaxial cable straight to the TV to get those channels in HD without paying $15 a month more for the box with the ATSC tuner | Nov 29 06:29 |
DaemonFC | the splitter is probably only $2-3 | Nov 29 06:29 |
DaemonFC | once | Nov 29 06:29 |
ender2070 | im not sure if that will actually work for you | Nov 29 06:29 |
DaemonFC | I have the box hooked up through composite cables | Nov 29 06:30 |
DaemonFC | so I should be able to flip back to coaxial input to get the HD channels | Nov 29 06:30 |
ender2070 | you'll have to figure that out | Nov 29 06:30 |
ender2070 | you're over my head at this point | Nov 29 06:30 |
DaemonFC | the cable company would steer me to their expensive HD box no doubt | Nov 29 06:31 |
ender2070 | yeah | Nov 29 06:31 |
DaemonFC | I'm not doing that for 5 local HD channels | Nov 29 06:31 |
ender2070 | i think rogers here uses lock in | Nov 29 06:31 |
DaemonFC | woot, I get to see the pores on the local moring news anchor's face | Nov 29 06:31 |
ender2070 | you require their box or no hd | Nov 29 06:31 |
DaemonFC | feel the HD revolution, man! :P | Nov 29 06:31 |
DaemonFC | *morning | Nov 29 06:32 |
DaemonFC | depends what channels they are | Nov 29 06:32 |
DaemonFC | what number | Nov 29 06:32 |
ender2070 | i remember having pissed off customers because they wanted to have their own PVR and rogers locked them into theirs | Nov 29 06:32 |
DaemonFC | Comcast keeps the analog crap on low numbers | Nov 29 06:32 |
*Omar87 (n=quassel@94.249.39.79) has joined #boycottnovell | Nov 29 06:32 | |
ender2070 | the rogers pvr didnt allow hdd swapping | Nov 29 06:33 |
ender2070 | so people had to erase their shows and got upset about it | Nov 29 06:33 |
cubezzz | I keep getting directed to usenet.nl | Nov 29 06:33 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - what are you trying to watch | Nov 29 06:34 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: Comcast told me that their HD DVR boxes don't encrypt recordings | Nov 29 06:34 |
cubezzz | MST3K | Nov 29 06:34 |
DaemonFC | and that you can hook the box up through USB to your PC | Nov 29 06:34 |
DaemonFC | copy the files over | Nov 29 06:34 |
ender2070 | what is mst3k | Nov 29 06:34 |
cubezzz | Mystery Science Theatre 3000 | Nov 29 06:35 |
DaemonFC | mmhm | Nov 29 06:35 |
DaemonFC | they riff on old movies | Nov 29 06:35 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - i got one working | Nov 29 06:35 |

DaemonFC | Didn't request that they add it to a more expensive package than I subscribe to though | Nov 29 06:38 |
DaemonFC | The local Christians will probably band together, get pitchforks and torches, and converge on the Comcast office for this | Nov 29 06:38 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - im no jerk tho, the tv shows i enjoy I buy on box sets when I can and rip them into theora for my media center | Nov 29 06:39 |
DaemonFC | There's like 5-6 "Give me your money" channels hosted by con artists like Benny Hinn and Pat Robertson | Nov 29 06:39 |
DaemonFC | can we have on gay and lesbian channel without world war 3? | Nov 29 06:40 |
ender2070 | except i dont have startrek, each season is like $100 | Nov 29 06:40 |
ender2070 | such a rip off | Nov 29 06:40 |
cubezzz | Taxi is actually funny | Nov 29 06:40 |
ender2070 | I can get 3-4 seasons of SG1 for $100 | Nov 29 06:40 |
ender2070 | taxi, isnt that from the 80's? | Nov 29 06:40 |

DaemonFC | I mean like, in theory, you could do that | Nov 29 06:42 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 29 06:42 |
ender2070 | i think ive seen every episode of star trek | Nov 29 06:42 |
ender2070 | i can wait for the sets to get cheaper | Nov 29 06:42 |
DaemonFC | I've only seen every episode of Voyager | Nov 29 06:42 |
DaemonFC | DS9 sucked | Nov 29 06:42 |
cubezzz | actors don't get the dvd money | Nov 29 06:42 |
cubezzz | not from the old shows | Nov 29 06:42 |
ender2070 | oh, ill have to say i havent seen DS9 | Nov 29 06:42 |
DaemonFC | TNG was alright, a bit too campy though | Nov 29 06:42 |
cubezzz | the Studio gets the money | Nov 29 06:43 |
ender2070 | everyone in tv is overpaid | Nov 29 06:43 |
DaemonFC | the Borg arc was what got me hooked on Voyager | Nov 29 06:43 |
ender2070 | actors usually cause shows to go out of budget | Nov 29 06:43 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: They've started filimg away from Hollywood to avoid union wages for actors | Nov 29 06:43 |
ender2070 | stargate atlantis is being canceled because the actors want too much | Nov 29 06:44 |
DaemonFC | they take it out to like Texas or Ontario or wherever | Nov 29 06:44 |
DaemonFC | I'd say that over 80% of filming done outside California is done in Texas or Ontario | Nov 29 06:44 |
ender2070 | every season they get a raise, so they made stargate universe | Nov 29 06:44 |
DaemonFC | avoids unions | Nov 29 06:44 |
ender2070 | stargate is filmed in BC | Nov 29 06:44 |
DaemonFC | hmmm, whooops | Nov 29 06:45 |
ender2070 | well universe is | Nov 29 06:45 |
DaemonFC | SG-1 wasn't | Nov 29 06:45 |
ender2070 | i dont know about sg1 and atlantis, though they are american/canadian shows | Nov 29 06:45 |
Diablo-D3 | so is sg1 and sga | Nov 29 06:45 |
Diablo-D3 | ender2070: oh, and get this | Nov 29 06:45 |
Diablo-D3 | a friend of mine used to watch them film the outdoor forest scenes at some national park in canada | Nov 29 06:45 |
ender2070 | :) | Nov 29 06:46 |
Diablo-D3 | and by "watch" I mean take photos using a telephoto lens | Nov 29 06:46 |
ender2070 | hehe | Nov 29 06:46 |
ender2070 | so when they say "offworld" they mean the national park in BC | Nov 29 06:46 |

cubezzz | why not? | Nov 29 07:01 |
ender2070 | 1) its unbearable with commercials, 2) commercials are often subliminal | Nov 29 07:01 |
cubezzz | I'm just curious | Nov 29 07:02 |
ender2070 | 3) Why pay to have advertisers brainwash me | Nov 29 07:02 |
ender2070 | :) | Nov 29 07:02 |
cubezzz | well WNED doesn't have commercials ;) | Nov 29 07:02 |
cubezzz | ok I assume you don't have an antenna then | Nov 29 07:03 |
ender2070 | oh brings me to 4) I like watching stuff on my own schedule | Nov 29 07:03 |
cubezzz | sure, that's where the DVR comes in | Nov 29 07:03 |
ender2070 | no antenna, cable, satellite | Nov 29 07:03 |
cubezzz | no radio? :) | Nov 29 07:04 |
ender2070 | nope | Nov 29 07:04 |
cubezzz | of course, you have internet radio | Nov 29 07:04 |
ender2070 | radio is obsolete | Nov 29 07:04 |

ender2070 | www.redicecreations.com | Nov 29 07:04 |
ender2070 | awesome stuff | Nov 29 07:04 |
cubezzz | so what do you do when your internet connection fails? | Nov 29 07:04 |
ender2070 | i die | Nov 29 07:04 |
ender2070 | lol | Nov 29 07:05 |
cubezzz | I guess you could have redundant ISPs | Nov 29 07:05 |
ender2070 | i play one of my video games | Nov 29 07:05 |
ender2070 | internet rarely ever fails though | Nov 29 07:05 |
ender2070 | I also read a lot | Nov 29 07:06 |
ender2070 | A LOT | Nov 29 07:06 |
ender2070 | i probably read more than anything else | Nov 29 07:06 |
cubezzz | Satellite is pretty cool though | Nov 29 07:06 |
ender2070 | it might be worth it to me if I watched more tv | Nov 29 07:07 |
ender2070 | i only have a few shows I like watching | Nov 29 07:08 |
cubezzz | one house around here has got 3 satellite dishes, a UHF antenna and cable :) | Nov 29 07:08 |
*Balrog has quit () | Nov 29 07:08 | |
ender2070 | i find people depend too much on tv | Nov 29 07:09 |
ender2070 | its an iq reducer | Nov 29 07:09 |
DaemonFC | hmmm | Nov 29 07:09 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: Turns out they do have an HD receiver with no DVR | Nov 29 07:09 |
DaemonFC | it's $7 a month | Nov 29 07:09 |
DaemonFC | the HD receiver + DVR is $15 a month | Nov 29 07:09 |
DaemonFC | the SD box I have no is $3.95 a month anyway | Nov 29 07:10 |
ender2070 | the world wouldn't be in the mess it is in right now if people werent so apathetically glued to their tv's | Nov 29 07:10 |
DaemonFC | so the HD receiver would up the bill by $3, which isn't bad I guess | Nov 29 07:10 |
DaemonFC | hehe | Nov 29 07:10 |
DaemonFC | I'm just apathetic | Nov 29 07:10 |
DaemonFC | TV or no TV | Nov 29 07:10 |

cubezzz | ender2070, you have a good point | Nov 29 07:11 |
DaemonFC | omg | Nov 29 07:11 |
cubezzz | it's really the technology I'm interested in, not so much the shows | Nov 29 07:11 |
DaemonFC | they charge me 20 cents a month for the remote | Nov 29 07:11 |
DaemonFC | lol | Nov 29 07:11 |
ender2070 | how much do you think boycottnovell would've progressed if Roy watched tv | Nov 29 07:12 |
cubezzz | not very much :) | Nov 29 07:12 |

DaemonFC | they didn't miss anything, did they? | Nov 29 07:12 |
ender2070 | people wonder where he gets all the time | Nov 29 07:12 |
DaemonFC | I think Comcast is a Jewish business | Nov 29 07:12 |
DaemonFC | just a hunch | Nov 29 07:12 |
cubezzz | DaemonFC, no 5 cents per month for the batteries for the remote? :) | Nov 29 07:12 |
ender2070 | rofl | Nov 29 07:12 |
ender2070 | its 2am, daemon shifts into DaemonBigot now | Nov 29 07:12 |
DaemonFC | only a Comcast Jew would worry about how to fleece me for 0.0066666666666667 of a cent per day on a TV remote | Nov 29 07:13 |
DaemonFC | :D | Nov 29 07:13 |
ender2070 | actually bigot isnt accurate | Nov 29 07:14 |
DaemonFC | Dammit, if we don't fight back, they may just take 0.0066666666666668 of a cent next time | Nov 29 07:14 |
DaemonFC | where could it end up? | Nov 29 07:14 |
ender2070 | jewishness isnt a race | Nov 29 07:14 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: Who else worries about 0.0066666666666667 of a cent? | Nov 29 07:15 |

DaemonFC | somehow I managed to back into a Cadillac and then drive off and make it 30 miles back to my friends house without getting pulled over | Nov 29 07:20 |

ender2070 | you should apply | Nov 29 07:27 |

DaemonFC | ender2070: I made the mistake of being honest once and the psychiatrist committed me | Nov 29 07:29 |
DaemonFC | so I've lied ever since | Nov 29 07:29 |
DaemonFC | just give them enough so that they refill my medications and send me on my way | Nov 29 07:29 |
ender2070 | yeah? | Nov 29 07:30 |
ender2070 | lol | Nov 29 07:30 |
DaemonFC | yeah, you just have to give them the 5% that gets your meds refilled | Nov 29 07:30 |
DaemonFC | not the 20% that gets you in the inpatient ward for a week | Nov 29 07:30 |
ender2070 | or not be crazy | Nov 29 07:30 |
DaemonFC | or the 100% that I'm certain would send me to the mental hospital | Nov 29 07:30 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: This is the situation I'm in with Comcast and why I'm fixated on it.... | Nov 29 07:31 |
ender2070 | lol | Nov 29 07:32 |
DaemonFC | I've got a promo where I have Digital Starter for $20 a month til next August | Nov 29 07:32 |
DaemonFC | adding Digital Classic usually is only like $15 more | Nov 29 07:32 |
DaemonFC | but I'd lose my promo for Starter and pay $57 a month for that + the $15 for Classic | Nov 29 07:32 |
DaemonFC | so I go from $20 to $72 a month | Nov 29 07:33 |
DaemonFC | to get two channels I really want, a lot more bullshit | Nov 29 07:33 |
DaemonFC | like MTV and all that garbage | Nov 29 07:33 |
DaemonFC | I just want LOGO and the Science Channel | Nov 29 07:33 |
DaemonFC | I know their thinking though | Nov 29 07:34 |
DaemonFC | they'll tell me there are no promos for Digital Classic and I have to get Digital Premier and bullshit HBO package to get a promo | Nov 29 07:34 |
DaemonFC | then I have to remember to cancel that 6 months later before I open a $200 cable bill | Nov 29 07:34 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Nov 29 07:34 |
ender2070 | if you could purchase individual channels it might be worth it | Nov 29 07:35 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: If I could do that, my bill would be like $5-10 a month | Nov 29 07:35 |
ender2070 | I would have Space and Teletoon only | Nov 29 07:35 |
DaemonFC | they'd never want you to be able to do that | Nov 29 07:35 |
DaemonFC | $20 a month normally gets you Limited Basic | Nov 29 07:36 |
DaemonFC | which is like 10 channels | Nov 29 07:36 |
DaemonFC | everthing they catch over the air for free with their antenna | Nov 29 07:36 |
ender2070 | our basic is like 30 channels | Nov 29 07:36 |
DaemonFC | then bill you $20 a month for | Nov 29 07:36 |
ender2070 | but 3 of them are worth watching | Nov 29 07:36 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: Whatever you do, avoid the HBO, Showtime, Cinemax packages | Nov 29 07:40 |
DaemonFC | Most expensive channels, least worth having | Nov 29 07:40 |
ender2070 | HBO is pretty badass | Nov 29 07:40 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: How old are you? | Nov 29 07:40 |
ender2070 | if you have a sense of humor | Nov 29 07:40 |
ender2070 | 25 | Nov 29 07:41 |
DaemonFC | k | Nov 29 07:41 |
DaemonFC | I was gonna say, HBO hasn't been badass since about 1992-ish | Nov 29 07:41 |
ender2070 | i dont know about current content | Nov 29 07:41 |
DaemonFC | it's been getting worse and worse | Nov 29 07:41 |
ender2070 | Mr Show was awesome | Nov 29 07:41 |
ender2070 | George Carlin kicked ass on HBO | Nov 29 07:41 |
ender2070 | a lot of good comedians were on HBO in the 90's | Nov 29 07:41 |
DaemonFC | yep | Nov 29 07:42 |
DaemonFC | first run movies too | Nov 29 07:42 |
DaemonFC | before they moved all of those to Pay Per View | Nov 29 07:42 |
DaemonFC | and also raised your HBO prices every year | Nov 29 07:43 |

DaemonFC | ender2070: I found the Star Trek TOS discs | Nov 29 08:11 |
DaemonFC | they're all too big for a single layer DVD though | Nov 29 08:11 |
DaemonFC | I really need some DL-DVDs | Nov 29 08:11 |
DaemonFC | they keep releasing those entire series DVD sets and the whole thing can cost hundreds of dollars and span dozens of discs | Nov 29 08:12 |
DaemonFC | I'd rather just spend about 75 cents per DL-DVD blank | Nov 29 08:12 |
DaemonFC | get the whole series burned for $10-15 usually | Nov 29 08:13 |
DaemonFC | in the MPAA anti-piracy argument, the best thing I saw them list was "You don't get cover art" | Nov 29 08:13 |
DaemonFC | :P | Nov 29 08:13 |
DaemonFC | so apparently we're all supposed to pay $200 more for some boxes with pictures on them | Nov 29 08:14 |

_goblin | ender2070: So would it be fair to say that you would be happy for anyone to express themselves in anyway they liked on the net (for example) | Nov 29 22:28 |

_goblin | ender2070: So would you then condone (under the owners freedom of speach) a website displaying and promoting child exploitation.... | Nov 29 22:29 |
schestowitz | Not just because of section 5 (IIRC) about disruption to other people | Nov 29 22:29 |
ender2070 | a strawman arguement | Nov 29 22:29 |
schestowitz | There's a code of etiquette in society | Nov 29 22:29 |
schestowitz | We don't need laws | Nov 29 22:29 |
schestowitz | IOW | Nov 29 22:29 |
schestowitz | Censorship without law is one thing | Nov 29 22:29 |
schestowitz | I can tell you off for racism | Nov 29 22:30 |
schestowitz | But the criminalise it is not good | Nov 29 22:30 |
schestowitz | _goblin: child exploitation is not a free speech issue | Nov 29 22:30 |
schestowitz | It's a child exploitation issue | Nov 29 22:30 |
_goblin | ender2070: Not really....Censorship (if you wish not have it) has to apply to everything otherwise you still have censorship,.... | Nov 29 22:30 |
ender2070 | i wouldn't condone the child exploitation, i would only defend their right to publish | Nov 29 22:30 |

schestowitz | _goblin: not in general | Nov 29 22:32 |

ender2070 | thats a far cry from an opinion | Nov 29 22:32 |
schestowitz | Again... | Nov 29 22:32 |
_goblin | schestowitz: There are some who believe there is nothing wrong with child exploitation..... | Nov 29 22:32 |
schestowitz | You're mixing | Nov 29 22:32 |
schestowitz | It's a child abuse issue | Nov 29 22:32 |
_goblin | but isnt that what censorship is? | Nov 29 22:33 |
schestowitz | Not one of being shown publicly | Nov 29 22:33 |
ender2070 | child abuse itself is illegal | Nov 29 22:33 |
_goblin | the removal of something to protect others from. | Nov 29 22:33 |
schestowitz | You generalise and mix it with a crime | Nov 29 22:33 |
_goblin | not really.... | Nov 29 22:33 |
ender2070 | its not your right of opinion to publish child porn, its not protected by free speech | Nov 29 22:33 |
_goblin | censorship is censorship....if you are saying that because its a crime it can't be classed as "censored"... | Nov 29 22:34 |
ender2070 | yes | Nov 29 22:34 |
schestowitz | That's not what I'm saying | Nov 29 22:34 |
schestowitz | Child abuse is a crime | Nov 29 22:34 |
_goblin | yep | Nov 29 22:34 |
ender2070 | you wont be arrested for what you say, you're being arrested for your actions against the child | Nov 29 22:34 |
schestowitz | Sabotage of public prperty too | Nov 29 22:34 |
schestowitz | To spread videos of sabotage is therefore illicit | Nov 29 22:34 |
schestowitz | Same with spreading abuse of kids | Nov 29 22:35 |
_goblin | and like I say, under the freedom rule, people would be allowed to promote it......(im not talking photo's etc) | Nov 29 22:35 |
schestowitz | There are laws against that | Nov 29 22:35 |
schestowitz | Because they encourage the behaviour | Nov 29 22:36 |
_goblin | really? | Nov 29 22:36 |
schestowitz | People who post videos of bullying classmate for example | Nov 29 22:36 |
schestowitz | See Italy-Google case | Nov 29 22:36 |
schestowitz | They want to imprison Google execs | Nov 29 22:36 |
_goblin | you have offences under the "attempts" legislation..... | Nov 29 22:36 |
oiaohm | Censorship and freedom too very hard lines to draw. | Nov 29 22:36 |
ender2070 | yeah | Nov 29 22:36 |
schestowitz | So publication of bad behaviour (like cracking a site) can be promotion of glorification of it | Nov 29 22:36 |

_goblin | schestowitz: yep but its a world away from falling under the criminal attempts..... | Nov 29 22:37 |
oiaohm | There has to be particular items censored because they are harmful. And freedom has to be restricted because some forms of freedoms would be major nightmares. | Nov 29 22:37 |
oiaohm | Like if everyone has the freedom to kill any one would be a major headache. | Nov 29 22:37 |
shreddar | " Many developers seemed to be of the mindset that Internet Explorer’s time had come and gone and that Microsoft should either ship a competitor’s browser or just make IE9 a webkit based browser. " | Nov 29 22:37 |
_goblin | oiaohm: agreed. | Nov 29 22:37 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: it's simple | Nov 29 22:37 |
ender2070 | i dont promote anarchism | Nov 29 22:37 |
schestowitz | Freedom interfere | Nov 29 22:37 |
_goblin | never would suggest you did....ender2070 | Nov 29 22:37 |
schestowitz | By definition of some, freedom doesn't mean BSD freedom | Nov 29 22:38 |
ender2070 | you do though | Nov 29 22:38 |
schestowitz | "Freedom to rape me" | Nov 29 22:38 |
ender2070 | by your definition of freedom | Nov 29 22:38 |
schestowitz | It's freedom that respects others' too | Nov 29 22:38 |
ender2070 | anything goes | Nov 29 22:38 |
schestowitz | A state that reduces friction and enables freedom | Nov 29 22:38 |
schestowitz | All planets are tied by gravity | Nov 29 22:38 |
_goblin | and your opinion is valid......but its that censorship cannot be blanketed over the whole subject....Like Oiaohm says......"There has to be particular items censored because they are harmful" | Nov 29 22:38 |
schestowitz | So no planet is 100% free from another | Nov 29 22:39 |

ender2070 | your sort of right | Nov 29 22:39 |
_goblin | how many Trolls have been banned for messing in this channel? | Nov 29 22:39 |
schestowitz | But it's closer to it | Nov 29 22:39 |
ender2070 | we were granted "permission" | Nov 29 22:39 |
ender2070 | as long as we follow a set of rules, its liberty not freedom | Nov 29 22:40 |
schestowitz | _goblin: nyms or trolls? | Nov 29 22:40 |
_goblin | if we had true freedom then this channel would be a 24h spam/troll fest.... | Nov 29 22:40 |
schestowitz | Trolls and names are not a 1-to-1 relationship | Nov 29 22:40 |
_goblin | by the way...I fully support the banning of the trolls..... | Nov 29 22:40 |
oiaohm | Respect of others. Ie don't do anything to harm others and don't allow harm to happen to others. | Nov 29 22:40 |
_goblin | its just to prove a point...even in an open forum, rules need to exist. | Nov 29 22:40 |
_goblin | otherwise anarchy rules. | Nov 29 22:41 |
schestowitz | http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssTechMediaTelecomNews/idUSBRU01057020091125 | Nov 29 22:41 |
ender2070 | yes but im against the censorship used against people who arent causing harm | Nov 29 22:41 |
_goblin | and you hit on a very good point..... | Nov 29 22:41 |
ender2070 | which is 98% of the cases i read regarding censorship | Nov 29 22:41 |
_goblin | who is to determine what causes harm? | Nov 29 22:41 |
_goblin | and that supports your view as well as mine. | Nov 29 22:42 |
ender2070 | harm = actively threatening to injure people | Nov 29 22:42 |
_goblin | and we would agree.... | Nov 29 22:42 |
ender2070 | someone else might not | Nov 29 22:42 |
ender2070 | and then there would be a court case to determine whos right | Nov 29 22:42 |
_goblin | thats why we have legislation now to cover some "freedoms" | Nov 29 22:43 |

schestowitz | A group of Arab men | Nov 29 22:58 |
schestowitz | They conspired to attack WTC | Nov 29 22:58 |
oiaohm | Global warming techincally should be controlled by natraul systems. Ie faster evaporation more clouds ie controlled. | Nov 29 22:58 |
ender2070 | do you think the united nations has a department of population control that just sits on its hands? | Nov 29 22:58 |
schestowitz | "Conpiracy" alone is not a dirty word | Nov 29 22:58 |
oiaohm | Problem is we have global dimming that is our polution that is blocking the natural system taken care of it self. | Nov 29 22:58 |
