oiaohm | If you know what is on the server no encrypted. | Jan 27 00:00 |
---|---|---|
oiaohm | why do you need to break the stream. | Jan 27 00:00 |
zoobab | you can get the IP address of the next hop, so what | Jan 27 00:00 |
*ThistleWeb has quit ("Lost terminal") | Jan 27 00:00 | |
oiaohm | You just need to know where the stream is going to find the user who put it there. | Jan 27 00:00 |
oiaohm | Don't need IP from inside encryption. | Jan 27 00:00 |
zoobab | you can't, each hop is encrypted with a different key | Jan 27 00:01 |
oiaohm | Its not required. | Jan 27 00:01 |
oiaohm | Each send will have a time. | Jan 27 00:01 |
oiaohm | Something you cannot hide. | Jan 27 00:01 |
zoobab | you can add delay | Jan 27 00:01 |
zoobab | like with mixmaster | Jan 27 00:02 |
oiaohm | But delay has to be verable. | Jan 27 00:02 |
zoobab | verable? | Jan 27 00:02 |
MinceR | variable | Jan 27 00:02 |
oiaohm | variable | Jan 27 00:02 |
oiaohm | And variable enough that with many samples it don't cancel out. | Jan 27 00:03 |
zoobab | you can imagine a P2P file sharing software where your machine have a pool of encrypted swarms | Jan 27 00:03 |
zoobab | and you don't know what you are restransmiting | Jan 27 00:03 |
MinceR | freenet, for example | Jan 27 00:03 |
zoobab | yes; but much simpler | Jan 27 00:03 |
oiaohm | What basically means no matter who you are every system has a limited number number of packets you can send before you are exposed. | Jan 27 00:03 |

phIRCe-BNc | If person looking for you has time data. | Jan 27 00:04 |
oiaohm | LOl bot | Jan 27 00:04 |
oiaohm | Its the time limit zoobab You can try to trick it but it will fail. The question is how much time will you buy. | Jan 27 00:05 |
cubezzz | is there any way to write long filenames on dvd? | Jan 27 00:05 |
cubezzz | k3b seems to always truncate down to 64 chars | Jan 27 00:05 |
Diablo-D3 | yes | Jan 27 00:05 |
Diablo-D3 | its not a k3b problem | Jan 27 00:05 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: burn with the juliet+UDF option | Jan 27 00:06 |
Diablo-D3 | its in k3b's options somewhere | Jan 27 00:06 |
cubezzz | there's a 103 char option | Jan 27 00:07 |
Diablo-D3 | iso9660 limits you to 8.3 case insensitive | Jan 27 00:07 |
Diablo-D3 | rock ridge extends it to 255, but ascii only | Jan 27 00:07 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: thats for joliet btw | Jan 27 00:07 |
Diablo-D3 | joliet is supposed to be limited to 64 unicode characters, but 103 works on every system tried | Jan 27 00:08 |
cubezzz | ok that's good | Jan 27 00:08 |
Diablo-D3 | UDF allows you to have two file systems | Jan 27 00:08 |
Diablo-D3 | well, file system trees | Jan 27 00:08 |
Diablo-D3 | iso 9660 + extensions and then UDF | Jan 27 00:08 |
MinceR | joliet :> | Jan 27 00:08 |
Diablo-D3 | MinceR: Im pretty sure microsoft was making a prison joke somewhere | Jan 27 00:08 |
cubezzz | I find I need more that 64 chars most of the time | Jan 27 00:09 |
MinceR | 64 chars in a filename or in a path? | Jan 27 00:09 |
Diablo-D3 | full path | Jan 27 00:09 |
Diablo-D3 | iirc anyways | Jan 27 00:09 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: btw, enable UDF support | Jan 27 00:09 |
oiaohm | freenet is still traceable zoobab. Uploading new content. Cannot trace using old pre existing content because it becomes impossible to get a dependable path back to uploader due to too many echos. Stuff is still time stamped in freenet | Jan 27 00:10 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: I only author discs with combined iso9660+rock ridge+joliet and udf | Jan 27 00:10 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] So I am now accused of "anger" and regarding an MS employee as the enemy? Where do I say that? I think an article an quotes from polite..... | Jan 27 00:10 | |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: maximum compatibility | Jan 27 00:10 |
cubezzz | hmmm | Jan 27 00:11 |
cubezzz | ah, well probably full path yeah | Jan 27 00:11 |
cubezzz | in this case | Jan 27 00:11 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] conversations with MS employee's is in order. I wonder why this employee thinks they are any different? | Jan 27 00:11 | |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: k3b has the options for it to feed to growisofs | Jan 27 00:11 |
cubezzz | yeah I'm using that | Jan 27 00:12 |
schestowitz | *LOL* HACKDOPI | Jan 27 00:12 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] What I don't like is being ignored. All they had to do was say "refer your points/q's to MS directly" | Jan 27 00:12 | |
cubezzz | a dvd player that could handle mkv would be nice though | Jan 27 00:13 |
oiaohm | schestowitz: note earily with me the bot gliched | Jan 27 00:13 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: mine can | Jan 27 00:13 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: buy oppo branded stuff from now on | Jan 27 00:13 |
MinceR | it keeps glitching that way from time to time | Jan 27 00:13 |
cubezzz | ah, which model do you have? | Jan 27 00:13 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: no, I mean, oppo, as a company, supports tons of shit | Jan 27 00:13 |
MinceR | probably it mixes up incoming messages to parse with the resulting msg to send somewhere | Jan 27 00:13 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: the dvd player I have (which they dont sell anymore) can do mpeg4 /w divx6 certification, several softsub types, and mkv | Jan 27 00:14 |
Diablo-D3 | plus other random shit | Jan 27 00:14 |
Diablo-D3 | does mp3s too | Jan 27 00:14 |
Diablo-D3 | and sacd and dvd-audio | Jan 27 00:14 |
oiaohm | Best system to remain annoymous is don't remain anywhere too long. zoobab so even if they trace you by the time they get there you are gone. | Jan 27 00:14 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: but obviously, if you buy something new, pick up one of their bluray players | Jan 27 00:15 |
cubezzz | hmmm, how much for blu-ray blanks I wonder | Jan 27 00:15 |
MinceR | you could also combine Mixminion with an email->web gateway | Jan 27 00:15 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: you dont need to burn blurays.... bluray players read DVDs too | Jan 27 00:15 |
Diablo-D3 | or did you somehow miss that | Jan 27 00:15 |
oiaohm | How are you defeating time. MinceR | Jan 27 00:15 |
cubezzz | no, I new that much thanks Diablo-D3 :) | Jan 27 00:16 |
oiaohm | How you hiding the pattern in time of your actions MinceR | Jan 27 00:16 |
cubezzz | I still wonder if the blanks have come down in price | Jan 27 00:16 |
MinceR | oiaohm: by the mixes introducing variable delays, mixing the order of messages to relay before it reaches the gateway | Jan 27 00:16 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: like $5 if you buy in large bulk | Jan 27 00:16 |
oiaohm | All you are doing is making it a little longer to trace MinceR | Jan 27 00:16 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: I dont care until Taiyo Yuden starts shipping anyhow | Jan 27 00:16 |
oiaohm | The limit is always there MinceR | Jan 27 00:16 |
cubezzz | I have the hdtv now so I guess a blu-ray is in the cards | Jan 27 00:17 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: yeah, I bought a bluray when I bought my TV | Jan 27 00:17 |
oiaohm | Tricking paterns in time is an extreamly hard thing todo MinceR | Jan 27 00:17 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: it sucks Taiyo Yuden isnt selling bd-rs yet | Jan 27 00:17 |
MinceR | oiaohm: not if i'm also generating other traffic and the web sites also get other traffic | Jan 27 00:18 |
oiaohm | Time following works against all forms of delays. Including smail mail created delays MinceR | Jan 27 00:18 |
cubezzz | I assume you worked out the price per gig on dvd vs blu-ray? | Jan 27 00:18 |
MinceR | btw, not even the forum timestamp attack will work on a high-traffic forum | Jan 27 00:19 |
oiaohm | MinceR: it was heavly tested against all forms of delays. | Jan 27 00:19 |
MinceR | my request can be paired up with many posts then -- which one is mine? | Jan 27 00:19 |
oiaohm | Best way is if lets say server posts all messages for the day at once MinceR | Jan 27 00:19 |
oiaohm | Time tracing can still work against that. | Jan 27 00:20 |
MinceR | how? | Jan 27 00:20 |
oiaohm | Each day you post a message. | Jan 27 00:20 |
cubezzz | a separate burner would be nice too come to think of it | Jan 27 00:20 |
oiaohm | compare messages sent on that day. | Jan 27 00:20 |
oiaohm | Keep on filtering out eveyrone who did not post a message that day. | Jan 27 00:20 |
oiaohm | Sooner or latter you find the person you are looking for MinceR | Jan 27 00:21 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: verbatim can go as low as $2.90 per disc, or 12 cents a gb | Jan 27 00:21 |
oiaohm | This is the power of time data even a small bit can bring you un done. | Jan 27 00:21 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: TY when they come out with theirs will be around the same price | Jan 27 00:21 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: thats in a 10 pack of discs, btw | Jan 27 00:21 |
oiaohm | To make time tracing not work you start talking some insane delays MinceR. | Jan 27 00:22 |
MinceR | oiaohm: what if the forum posts new messages every minute but with random delays of up to 24*60 cycles? | Jan 27 00:23 |
oiaohm | I just have to use a time filter with a larger window. MinceR | Jan 27 00:23 |
oiaohm | Then the delay. | Jan 27 00:23 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: in a 600 pack of TY DVD+R, its 7 cents a GB | Jan 27 00:23 |
*_Goblin has quit ("Lost terminal") | Jan 27 00:23 | |
MinceR | the delay can bump the message from one window to the next | Jan 27 00:23 |
cubezzz | ah so it's cheaper to use dvd+r | Jan 27 00:24 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: its about 8 cents in 100 packs | Jan 27 00:24 |
oiaohm | That delay has a fixed max size right MinceR | Jan 27 00:24 |
MinceR | it seems you'd need a window that's at least 2x as big as the maximum delay | Jan 27 00:24 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: and btw, go with dvd+r over dvd-r for quality reasons | Jan 27 00:24 |
oiaohm | So as long as my window for compare is the max size. MinceR | Jan 27 00:24 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: yes, bluray has a premium, but thats not why you go with bluray | Jan 27 00:24 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: its the data size thing | Jan 27 00:24 |
oiaohm | Sooner or latter target will filter out with enough messages MinceR | Jan 27 00:24 |
MinceR | well, it could have a distribution that allows for extreme delays with low probabilities, but i'm not sure if that's worth it | Jan 27 00:24 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: single layer dvd+r over bd-r means 5 times more discs | Jan 27 00:24 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: dl has too much of a price premium to be worth it | Jan 27 00:25 |
oiaohm | That is the problem once you start defeating time tracing. You basically destroy it as a message system MinceR | Jan 27 00:25 |
oiaohm | Ie too much random lag to use as a message system MinceR | Jan 27 00:26 |
MinceR | what if it randomly drops messages? | Jan 27 00:26 |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz: and btw, as I said, I wont switch to bluray until taiyo tuden starts producing bd-rs | Jan 27 00:27 |
oiaohm | Losing data does make time tracing harder. MinceR | Jan 27 00:27 |
oiaohm | Again that has the price of bandwidth. MinceR | Jan 27 00:27 |
MinceR | what if i send requests more often than i send messages? then the sender side will see "messages" all the time even if i'm not posting | Jan 27 00:27 |
cubezzz | yeah there's no rush | Jan 27 00:27 |
MinceR | same with every other sender | Jan 27 00:27 |
cubezzz | this oppo stuff looks expensive though | Jan 27 00:27 |
MinceR | after all everyone is going to use the web for more than one thing | Jan 27 00:27 |
oiaohm | By you sending junk it makes time tracing quesiton if or if you are the target. MinceR | Jan 27 00:28 |
MinceR | i don't understand that | Jan 27 00:28 |
oiaohm | The junk data means time tracing takes longer to get a lock MinceR | Jan 27 00:28 |
oiaohm | Does not stop it from getting a lock MinceR | Jan 27 00:28 |
MinceR | sure, well beyond the life expectancy of the universe | Jan 27 00:28 |
oiaohm | Not really. | Jan 27 00:28 |
oiaohm | if everyone else has been filtered out and you are still the only one left. Tracer can disregard the junk MinceR | Jan 27 00:29 |
MinceR | imagine 256 participants sending several requests every day, some of those being messages to the forum, which posts new messages once every day | Jan 27 00:29 |
MinceR | then you see a lot of requests going out with the occasional message appearing on the forum | Jan 27 00:29 |
oiaohm | People get sick poeple miss days. systems fails MinceR | Jan 27 00:29 |
oiaohm | These all do create markers in a time trace MinceR | Jan 27 00:30 |
MinceR | 012557 < MinceR> sure, well beyond the life expectancy of the universe | Jan 27 00:30 |
oiaohm | So far the best system of avoid time trace only gives you 4 years MinceR | Jan 27 00:31 |
oiaohm | And that is 1 month delays. | Jan 27 00:31 |
MinceR | if i run a node, that makes it even easier for me to hide my traffic | Jan 27 00:31 |
oiaohm | Remember noise filters out against a time trace MinceR | Jan 27 00:32 |
oiaohm | Running a node makes very little difference. It no different to sending junk packets. | Jan 27 00:32 |
MinceR | that depends on the characteristics of the noise | Jan 27 00:32 |
MinceR | it is very different to sending junk packets, because it also involves receiving non-junk packets and forwarding them | Jan 27 00:33 |
MinceR | nodes could also pass and drop junk packets | Jan 27 00:33 |
oiaohm | To a time trace you forwarding non releated packacts to what is being traced that data is just junk data no wanted. | Jan 27 00:33 |
MinceR | then you can't tell which node a packet comes from even if you're counting incoming and outgoing packets | Jan 27 00:33 |
oiaohm | Only way you could use a node is that when you pick up a particular user sending you a packet send you packet off at the same time. | Jan 27 00:34 |
oiaohm | So giving two possiable people for message. | Jan 27 00:34 |
MinceR | that would be a good idea | Jan 27 00:34 |
oiaohm | Not 1. | Jan 27 00:34 |
oiaohm | But the time trace would still say you are the possiable message sender. | Jan 27 00:34 |
MinceR | then the next node could randomly pair it up with another packet | Jan 27 00:34 |
MinceR | and so on | Jan 27 00:35 |
oiaohm | could not be random. | Jan 27 00:35 |
oiaohm | That is the problem. | Jan 27 00:35 |
MinceR | why not? | Jan 27 00:35 |
oiaohm | Time trace is designed to filter against random. | Jan 27 00:35 |
MinceR | if the traffic is high enough, each node can be expected to be forwarding multiple messages at a give ntime | Jan 27 00:35 |
MinceR | that's randomness in time, not randomness in association between messages. | Jan 27 00:35 |
oiaohm | Only thing that can screw a time trace is not random. | Jan 27 00:36 |
oiaohm | But then it still produces a list of possiables. | Jan 27 00:36 |

phIRCe-BNc | Title: Error processing the URL: HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden .::. Size~: 0 KB | Jan 27 00:36 |
MinceR | time trace can filter out randomness in time, not other kinds of randomness | Jan 27 00:36 |
oiaohm | You are not getting how it undoes you. | Jan 27 00:37 |
MinceR | or am i? | Jan 27 00:37 |
oiaohm | Ie 1 person send packet today it get combinded with you. | Jan 27 00:37 |
oiaohm | Time trace knows that 1 person and you sent packet today. | Jan 27 00:37 |
oiaohm | So if that 1 person does not send packet with you another. | Jan 27 00:38 |
oiaohm | Hello split. | Jan 27 00:38 |
oiaohm | If you are random it is simple for time data to be used to sort out who could and who could not. | Jan 27 00:38 |
oiaohm | Removing random makes the process of spliting harder. | Jan 27 00:39 |
oiaohm | Never impossiable MinceR | Jan 27 00:39 |
oiaohm | Basically if you want to see inside encryption is hard if you want to see who is talking to who it simple. | Jan 27 00:40 |
oiaohm | Kinda important to know who is talking to who for attacking a country to work out the best repeating stations to take out. | Jan 27 00:41 |
oiaohm | Time tracing was design in world war two where would be the best places to bomb. | Jan 27 00:41 |
oiaohm | Other thing that can make it harder is if person doing the time trace does not know if you are 1 or many people using the same handle. MinceR | Jan 27 00:43 |
MinceR | indeed | Jan 27 00:44 |
oiaohm | Basically shared handles | Jan 27 00:44 |
oiaohm | Moving around | Jan 27 00:44 |
oiaohm | They are the two most effect things against a time trace. | Jan 27 00:44 |
oiaohm | But even moving around can come unstuck. | Jan 27 00:44 |
MinceR | if it's a public forum where i need anonymity, posts might as well appear completely anonymously | Jan 27 00:45 |
oiaohm | Problem with tor is a lot of people make the stupid mistake of using a handel that is not annomous | Jan 27 00:45 |
oiaohm | So making a time trace functional simpler. | Jan 27 00:45 |
oiaohm | Yet most people want to use a idenifitable handle so they can get trust for providing dependable information. | Jan 27 00:47 |
oiaohm | Basically time tracing has you walled in MinceR | Jan 27 00:47 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] As much as I would like to wait and see if I do indeed get an apology or retraction from the MS staff member, I have to go to bed. Its late | Jan 27 00:47 | |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] I will take this up again tomorrow. Good night all. | Jan 27 00:48 | |
oiaohm | time tracing is basically could this persons time of sent messages be the person I am possible looking for when compared to the time data of the messages wanting to know if they are the owner of. MinceR. | Jan 27 00:49 |
MinceR | if the anonymizer network is good enough, it seems to basically burn down to whether someone could have sent a given message given when they had a connection at all | Jan 27 00:49 |
MinceR | s/burn/boil/ | Jan 27 00:50 |
oiaohm | That is the problem tricking time tracing/comparing is basically impossiable to do 100 percent. | Jan 27 00:51 |
oiaohm | Particularly if the tracer can find out what kinds of delays the anonymizer network is adding. | Jan 27 00:51 |
oiaohm | Thinking the tracer is normally allowed to use the network as well. | Jan 27 00:51 |
oiaohm | Its all time tracing is working out. Could you have sent the messages. Ie you normally need more than 1 message to lock down to a person MinceR | Jan 27 00:53 |
MinceR | if some of the participants occasionally switch ISPs, that can make things a lot more difficult | Jan 27 00:53 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[qu1j0t3] RT @aisforalexander @diablocody Travolta flew his 707 to Haiti with 6 tons of supplies // and a few tons of Scientologist missionaries | Jan 27 00:53 | |
oiaohm | Ie moving. | Jan 27 00:54 |
MinceR | (say, if i sometimes use GPRS instead of cable) | Jan 27 00:54 |
oiaohm | Fixed location makes time tracing faster. | Jan 27 00:54 |
MinceR | (not from the same physical location) | Jan 27 00:54 |
oiaohm | The moving makes time tracing a lot harder. | Jan 27 00:54 |
oiaohm | If you were always using different connections and never used the same connection twice. A time trace normally would not be able to lock down. | Jan 27 00:55 |
oiaohm | But most people don't have the resources todo that. | Jan 27 00:56 |
MinceR | gn | Jan 27 00:56 |
oiaohm | Even worse is if I know that your phone and cable own to you MinceR | Jan 27 00:56 |
oiaohm | So changing them makes no difference. | Jan 27 00:56 |
oiaohm | Ie all your data goes into one set to remove or focus on you. | Jan 27 00:57 |

sebsebseb | not Google | Jan 27 01:14 |
sebsebseb | Yahoo will use Bing or whatever it was | Jan 27 01:14 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: anyway better to support Firefox, Seamonkey, and Thunderbird, since they are the remains of Netscape, which nearly died at the clutches of nasty Internet Explorer Windows bundleing in | Jan 27 01:17 |
sebsebseb | and then AOL pulled the plug after a few versions based on Mozilla | Jan 27 01:17 |

sebsebseb | hrm | Jan 27 01:25 |
sebsebseb | well I read something about that before | Jan 27 01:25 |
schestowitz | sebsebseb: starting with the US | Jan 27 01:26 |
schestowitz | But they talk about expanding it /already/ | Jan 27 01:26 |
schestowitz | Yahoo won't have a reason to maintain it without the US userbase | Jan 27 01:26 |
sebsebseb | Internet is meant to belong to us the "user" | Jan 27 01:26 |
sebsebseb | ,but the companies have taken it over | Jan 27 01:26 |
schestowitz | Yes | Jan 27 01:26 |
schestowitz | Not quite | Jan 27 01:26 |
schestowitz | The search is | Jan 27 01:26 |
schestowitz | Gateways | Jan 27 01:26 |
schestowitz | Europe funded some Google rivalry | Jan 27 01:27 |
schestowitz | It was pretty much abandoned | Jan 27 01:27 |
schestowitz | Cause nothing was said about it in almost 2 years | Jan 27 01:27 |
schestowitz | Search is an indexer | Jan 27 01:27 |
schestowitz | A bit like Web Archive | Jan 27 01:27 |
schestowitz | It's like giving ICANN authority to companies | Jan 27 01:27 |
schestowitz | I'm disappointed by jono publicly tying me to terms that are insulting ("conspiracy theory") | Jan 27 01:28 |
schestowitz | I stated facts | Jan 27 01:29 |
cubezzz | some theories are correct :) | Jan 27 01:31 |
schestowitz | This is not a theory | Jan 27 01:31 |
schestowitz | Microsoft and Yahoo issued a press release | Jan 27 01:31 |
schestowitz | Anyway, it was undiplomatic | Jan 27 01:32 |
schestowitz | I'll write about the Yahoo! thing later | Jan 27 01:32 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: you seem to mainly focus on the negative side in your blog enteries, I haven't read many | Jan 27 01:33 |

schestowitz | Microsoft pays Yahoo! to pass over the requests | Jan 27 01:34 |
schestowitz | The EU will be lobbies viciously to approve | Jan 27 01:34 |
schestowitz | sebsebseb: of course | Jan 27 01:34 |
schestowitz | As RMS puts it, we need to address the problems | Jan 27 01:35 |
schestowitz | I put in daily links things that do not need correction | Jan 27 01:35 |
schestowitz | Triumph | Jan 27 01:35 |
schestowitz | Say you have a student... | Jan 27 01:35 |
schestowitz | Do you go through his/her work by saying how wonderfully x y and z was done or do you point out place for improvement? | Jan 27 01:35 |
schestowitz | The perserverence in correction is a good sign | Jan 27 01:35 |
schestowitz | it means you care | Jan 27 01:35 |
schestowitz | It's when you stop correcting that you may have given up... | Jan 27 01:36 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: also I like hemour in reading, I tend to get that in Steven J. Vaghen nicholas's articles, but the ones I read of yours no not quite | Jan 27 01:36 |
jono | schestowitz I apologized already for that | Jan 27 01:36 |
schestowitz | sebsebseb: yes, but it makes it look sarcastic | Jan 27 01:36 |
schestowitz | Groklaw does that too sometimes... with simley faces and all.. | Jan 27 01:37 |
schestowitz | It looks informal and not as reliable, IMHO | Jan 27 01:37 |
schestowitz | jono: no worries :-) | Jan 27 01:37 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: depends on how it's done, but that SJVN guy, well most of his articles are pretty good | Jan 27 01:37 |
sebsebseb | he is my favourite Linux and that news authour | Jan 27 01:37 |
cubezzz | Is it a conspiracy though :) | Jan 27 01:37 |
schestowitz | jono: it just seems like you try putting on me a label, but maybe I was presumpous to assume you did this | Jan 27 01:38 |
schestowitz | I'm very much pro-facts and against presumptous that lack any evidence | Jan 27 01:38 |
schestowitz | cubezzz: Yahoo and Microsoft - yes | Jan 27 01:38 |
schestowitz | They did conspire | Jan 27 01:38 |
schestowitz | ballmer and Bartz were reportedly chatting for months | Jan 27 01:39 |
schestowitz | Bartz demanded more privacy | Jan 27 01:39 |
jono | schestowitz I apologise, I never meant to infer that | Jan 27 01:39 |
schestowitz | Microsoft also communiated with Icahn | Jan 27 01:39 |
schestowitz | jono: the EU could still block the deal, but I doubt it | Jan 27 01:40 |
schestowitz | They might 'mitigate' it | Jan 27 01:40 |
cubezzz | google is pretty strong though | Jan 27 01:40 |
schestowitz | Like they squeezed formal promises out of ORCL | Jan 27 01:40 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: well Google could do with some more competition in search | Jan 27 01:40 |
sebsebseb | ,but | Jan 27 01:40 |
sebsebseb | what about Ask and Lycos if they still exist? | Jan 27 01:40 |
sebsebseb | and you know smaller search engines like that | Jan 27 01:40 |
schestowitz | sebsebseb: that's not the point | Jan 27 01:40 |
schestowitz | Google hosted Ubuntu conferences | Jan 27 01:40 |
cubezzz | altavista is still around | Jan 27 01:40 |
schestowitz | Google also contributes to Linux | Jan 27 01:40 |
schestowitz | WHat does Microsoft do? | Jan 27 01:40 |
schestowitz | It spies on users | Jan 27 01:40 |
schestowitz | It makes dossiers | Jan 27 01:41 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: I think someone told me before that altavista is owned by Yahoo now and has been for quite a while | Jan 27 01:41 |
schestowitz | It attacks Linux companies with lawsuits | Jan 27 01:41 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: or something like that | Jan 27 01:41 |
schestowitz | It calls Linux cancer, etc etc | Jan 27 01:41 |
schestowitz | Linux does not compete in search | Jan 27 01:41 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: well Microsoft have contributed to the Linux kernel before | Jan 27 01:41 |
schestowitz | So the Google monopoly is less of a competitive issue _to Ubuntu_ | Jan 27 01:41 |
schestowitz | sebsebseb: hahahah1 | Jan 27 01:42 |
schestowitz | They didn't | Jan 27 01:42 |
schestowitz | They violated the GPL | Jan 27 01:42 |
schestowitz | And they put a Trojan in Linux | Jan 27 01:42 |
schestowitz | A driver for their proprietary wares | Jan 27 01:42 |
sebsebseb | oh? | Jan 27 01:42 |
schestowitz | Which favour Microsoft tax on Linux | Jan 27 01:42 |
schestowitz | Read Groklaw or BN about it | Jan 27 01:42 |
sebsebseb | Google privay issues and such, but yeah they do stuff for open source as well | Jan 27 01:42 |
schestowitz | The PR story (lie) was all different | Jan 27 01:42 |
schestowitz | Some gullible people swallowed it | Jan 27 01:42 |
cubezzz | ok, what is the main search engine after yahoo, bing and google then? | Jan 27 01:42 |

DaemonFC | the horrible part is that I may even be running my car on it now and not know | Jan 27 05:47 |
DaemonFC | the government doesn't make them label it if it's 10% or less | Jan 27 05:48 |
DaemonFC | the government likes E10 because it "reduces smog", the gas stations like it because it's cheaper to buy than gas and your car burns through it faster, and the farmers like it because they're selling corn to you at 10 times what the Mexicans could pay | Jan 27 05:51 |
DaemonFC | and best of all is that you can't refuse to buy it if nobody has to label it | Jan 27 05:51 |
DaemonFC | that car I'm looking at tomorrow is a "flex fuel", so I *could* run it on the E85 stuff if I wanted to, it's deceptively cheap though, in that it mist cost 20% less than gas, but you lose 27% of your fuel efficiency | Jan 27 05:54 |
DaemonFC | filling up with E85 only makes sense if it's at least 28% cheaper than gas | Jan 27 05:55 |
bronze | so clean the tank out and fill up with pure alcohol.... then pull over and start drinkin'... :) | Jan 27 05:56 |
bronze | woo, such a headache i have... | Jan 27 05:57 |
DaemonFC | bronze: E85 is 15% gasoline | Jan 27 05:57 |
DaemonFC | I would not suggest drinking it | Jan 27 05:58 |
DaemonFC | the best thing to do with it is leave it in the gas station's tank ;) | Jan 27 05:58 |
DaemonFC | it's incredibly corrosive and I wouldn't trust it in the "hardened" fuel systems they say are in these cars that can run on it | Jan 27 05:59 |
DaemonFC | I'd bet that it increases the failure rate of even these "hardened" components by a non-trivial amount | Jan 27 06:00 |
DaemonFC | it just all depends on how badly you want some repair bills | Jan 27 06:00 |
DaemonFC | as to whether or not maybe saving a nickel on a tank of gas is worth it to you | Jan 27 06:01 |
DaemonFC | some rocket scientist in the town's government decided to run the school buses on biodiesel, without installing any engine block heaters | Jan 27 06:02 |
DaemonFC | so needless to say school was canceled the first day they tried it | Jan 27 06:02 |
DaemonFC | while they drained the fuel tanks | Jan 27 06:02 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Jan 27 06:02 |
DaemonFC | I have to wonder what kind of a moron it takes to run this town so poorly | Jan 27 06:03 |
DaemonFC | our mayor is out and about running it like his own piggy bank | Jan 27 06:03 |
DaemonFC | then freaking out that some people actually appeal their unfair property tax assessment and the town is $1.6 million under budget halfway into the fiscal year | Jan 27 06:04 |

DaemonFC | started as a rant about ethanol | Jan 27 06:07 |
Omar87 | I see. | Jan 27 06:07 |
DaemonFC | then I went and remembered the town trying to run school buses on biodiesel in winter, without block heaters | Jan 27 06:07 |
DaemonFC | I'm surprised nobody thought about heading on down to Walmart and getting some electric blankets | Jan 27 06:08 |
DaemonFC | I (briefly) had a diesel Volkswagon | Jan 27 06:09 |
DaemonFC | the only thing on Earth less reliable than a gasoline Volkswagon | Jan 27 06:09 |
DaemonFC | they need to make those things with a bigass warning label "Engine may catch fire, stranding driver in another state" | Jan 27 06:11 |
DaemonFC | people can say whatever they want to about Ford, I've never had a Ford do half as much shit to me as a VW | Jan 27 06:13 |
DaemonFC | my favorite bit was the "fluid" that started oozing out my window when it stuck halfway down | Jan 27 06:13 |
DaemonFC | or the wiper motors that seem to last about 6-8 months | Jan 27 06:14 |
DaemonFC | or maybe it's the fact that it's impossible to get a speeding ticket while you're driving one | Jan 27 06:14 |
DaemonFC | if the wind starts blowing against the car you may start going backwards | Jan 27 06:15 |
DaemonFC | fucking imports :P | Jan 27 06:15 |
DaemonFC | made in Mexico | Jan 27 06:15 |
DaemonFC | pile of shit | Jan 27 06:15 |
DaemonFC | but I did learn that diesel is not particularly reliable 3 months out of the year in Indiana | Jan 27 06:16 |
DaemonFC | when it freezes solid and you have no block heater | Jan 27 06:16 |
DaemonFC | I don't even wish death on my enemies Omar87 | Jan 27 06:17 |
DaemonFC | I wish them a diesel VW | Jan 27 06:17 |
DaemonFC | I don't know how these little bitty 3-4 cylinder cars with motorcycle engines sell so well in foreign countries | Jan 27 06:18 |
DaemonFC | I mean even people who could afford something nicer, it won't fit on their roads | Jan 27 06:18 |
Omar87 | DaemonFC: I think you should go get some sleep. | Jan 27 06:19 |
DaemonFC | it's like the concept of a two-lane road has been largely lost on Europe | Jan 27 06:19 |
DaemonFC | Omar87: You like me, I know you do | Jan 27 06:20 |
DaemonFC | you wouldn't know what to do in my absense | Jan 27 06:20 |
DaemonFC | *absence | Jan 27 06:20 |
DaemonFC | you would weep | Jan 27 06:20 |
DaemonFC | and besides, I just had some coffee | Jan 27 06:21 |
DaemonFC | I don't think sleep is likely soon | Jan 27 06:21 |
DaemonFC | I think it is more likely that I will transform into Cornholio | Jan 27 06:21 |
DaemonFC | and need some TP for my bunghole | Jan 27 06:21 |
Omar87 | DaemonFC: Coffee? No I'm sure as hell what you just had wasn't coffee. It's heroin. Or opium. | Jan 27 06:23 |

DaemonFC | not understanding that the most disgusting thing about these codecs is that they're largely based on academic research dating back into the 19th century through the 1950s, and should be public domain based on that alone | Jan 27 16:01 |
Tallken | ? | Jan 27 16:04 |
Tallken | 1950? | Jan 27 16:04 |
DaemonFC | Tallken: Yes, things like auditory masking and huffman coding are that old | Jan 27 16:05 |
DaemonFC | most of the theory behind MP3/AAC/WMA/Ogg Vorbis/MPC, etc. predates the moon landing | Jan 27 16:06 |
DaemonFC | and was conducted by research professors | Jan 27 16:06 |
DaemonFC | now we have the MPEG Cartel and Microsoft trying to sell us licenses to use binary codecs based on much knowledge that is already in the public domain | Jan 27 16:07 |
DaemonFC | it's not unlike pharmaceutical companies charging hundreds of dollars a bottle for pills made using taxpayer-funded research | Jan 27 16:07 |
Tallken | Huffman is 1950-ish | Jan 27 16:07 |

phIRCe-BNc | Title: Why Ubuntu GNU/Linux Should Not Make Microsoft Even Stronger | Boycott Novell .::. Size~: 106.26 KB | Jan 27 16:10 |
DaemonFC | obviously there are a few "enhancements" that companies have thrown into newer codecs along the waythat aren't particularly useful | Jan 27 16:11 |
DaemonFC | spectral band replication for example | Jan 27 16:11 |
Tallken | why is that? | Jan 27 16:11 |
DaemonFC | it's useful at streaming bitrates | Jan 27 16:12 |
DaemonFC | under 80kbps generally, is what Nero AAC limits you to | Jan 27 16:12 |
Tallken | so, why isn't it useful? | Jan 27 16:12 |
DaemonFC | it works at higher bitrates, but it doesn't really help out a lot | Jan 27 16:12 |
DaemonFC | Tallken: Cause I'd rather just use a streaming service that uses 160> kbps anyway | Jan 27 16:13 |
DaemonFC | low bitrate sounds bad no matter what you do to it | Jan 27 16:13 |
DaemonFC | it's not 1990, the challenge is not to see how much data you can stuff onto a one channel ISDN line | Jan 27 16:14 |
Tallken | that doesn't mean it isn't useful to us who have lower traffic bandwidth | Jan 27 16:14 |
Tallken | that doesn't mean the standard isn't useful | Jan 27 16:14 |
DaemonFC | people were praising WMA at one point because you could actually make out what song was playing at phone line bandwidth | Jan 27 16:14 |
Tallken | I like WMA on a technical merit, except it's from MS which doesn't support other platforms; allows easy DRM to go unnoticed until it's too late; requires hacks to get running on other platforms; as such, I don't like it in general. | Jan 27 16:16 |
DaemonFC | Tallken: At the bitrates you're likely to use to store tracks on your hard drive or MP3 player, SBR isn't really useful. AOL is the only internet radio I've seen using AAC with SBR | Jan 27 16:16 |
Tallken | doesn't mean in terms of capabilities it isn't good | Jan 27 16:16 |
DaemonFC | Ogg Vorbis is known to outperform AAC+ at those bitrates anyway | Jan 27 16:16 |
DaemonFC | I highly suspect that SBR was one of those things someone did just to get into the patent pool | Jan 27 16:17 |
DaemonFC | what's worse is that it will crash Windows Media Player and most portables won't play them either | Jan 27 16:18 |
DaemonFC | AAC has a lot of "profiles", and most decoders only support Low Complexity | Jan 27 16:19 |
DaemonFC | I still haven't seen MP3 Pro supported in hardware (or most software) | Jan 27 16:19 |
DaemonFC | the only MP3 Pro player I've seen was the one Thompson released in 1998 and a couple old RCA Lyra models | Jan 27 16:20 |
DaemonFC | if you want a 64 MB Lyra from 1998, you can take your 32kbps MP3 Pro files with you 8-) | Jan 27 16:21 |
DaemonFC | you'll pay more royalties to use MP3 Pro or AAC+ than you will to just double the bitrate and pay the bandwidth bill | Jan 27 16:22 |
DaemonFC | hence why they failed | Jan 27 16:22 |
DaemonFC | companies never seem to understand that something usually has to be more useful than liability in order for it to catch on | Jan 27 16:23 |
DaemonFC | Tallken: My favorite bit was when Thomson announced MP3 HD (MP3 file with a massive lossless correction) which you pay royalties out the ass to implement, it's 20% bigger than FLAC, and a lot of portables play FLAC anyway at full quality | Jan 27 16:25 |
DaemonFC | Thomson doesn't even make anything anymore, they're just a massive patent troll | Jan 27 16:26 |
DaemonFC | oh my god... | Jan 27 16:29 |
Tallken | ? | Jan 27 16:29 |
DaemonFC | the Windows encoder for MP3 HD is a .Net application | Jan 27 16:29 |

DaemonFC | actually, IE 6 isn't even 25% now, is it? | Jan 27 18:31 |
MarcusKoze | i strongly doubt that ie's "share" is anything it was some years ago | Jan 27 18:32 |
DaemonFC | IE 6 is 14% according to StatCounter | Jan 27 18:32 |
MarcusKoze | i dont give a **** ******* **** * ***** on ms's reports or whatever | Jan 27 18:32 |
DaemonFC | so more like half their development costs to support a browser with 14% | Jan 27 18:32 |

MarcusKoze | what would that be ? | Jan 27 18:44 |
DaemonFC | 1995 Ford Taurus | Jan 27 18:44 |
MarcusKoze | oh | Jan 27 18:44 |
MarcusKoze | i like opel , as a general brand | Jan 27 18:45 |
DaemonFC | I had to pull the fuse that controls the car alarm | Jan 27 18:45 |
MarcusKoze | i mean brand likeness | Jan 27 18:45 |
DaemonFC | which also took out my interior lights, radio, and the chime when the keys are in and you have the door open | Jan 27 18:45 |
DaemonFC | cause the car alarm was going off randomly :D | Jan 27 18:45 |
MarcusKoze | lool | Jan 27 18:45 |
MarcusKoze | gotta suck almost as much as a windos install ;)) | Jan 27 18:46 |

DaemonFC | that car is so far gone I should have gotten rid of it two years ago | Jan 27 18:46 |
DaemonFC | but not havign a car payment is a compelling reason to tolerate something you hate | Jan 27 18:46 |
DaemonFC | the heater stopped working last winter and they wanted $800 to fix it | Jan 27 18:47 |
MarcusKoze | hm, thats sounds like a fortune where i am | Jan 27 18:47 |
DaemonFC | so I just bought a little heater deal you plug into the cigarette lighter to defrost the windshield | Jan 27 18:47 |
schestowitz | zoobab: I get "http://www.sdtimes.com/default.aspx?CustomError=404" on your link | Jan 27 18:47 |
DaemonFC | then the heater comes back on this winter | Jan 27 18:47 |
DaemonFC | then I backed into a pole and broke the bumper in half | Jan 27 18:48 |
DaemonFC | it's like, going to the demolition derby when I get rid of it | Jan 27 18:48 |
MarcusKoze | poor littl machinery :)) | Jan 27 18:48 |
DaemonFC | there's nowhere else for it | Jan 27 18:48 |

DaemonFC | I know that GM owns them, they only get sold in Europe | Jan 27 18:50 |
MarcusKoze | or i think they brand it as vauxhall | Jan 27 18:50 |
DaemonFC | that's about it | Jan 27 18:50 |
MarcusKoze | dont know, dont you like the, ? | Jan 27 18:50 |

DaemonFC | I hate GM cars, they only made one thing that I've driven and liked | Jan 27 18:51 |
DaemonFC | the Chevrolet Beretta | Jan 27 18:51 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Jan 27 18:51 |
DaemonFC | not the 4 cylinder, the 3.1 liter 6 cylinder | Jan 27 18:51 |
DaemonFC | the car's frame weighs virtually nothing, you can get it up to 130 miles per hour | Jan 27 18:51 |
DaemonFC | it was a fun little car, RIP | Jan 27 18:51 |

DaemonFC | a radar detector detector | Jan 27 19:12 |
MarcusKoze | hehe | Jan 27 19:12 |
DaemonFC | so now all the radar detectors detect the VG-2 unit, warn the driver, and then shut off so they can't be detected | Jan 27 19:12 |

ianto | Well at 30mph if you hit someone there is an 80% chance they'll live, at 40mph there is an 80% chance they'll die | Jan 27 19:18 |
ianto | an extra 5mph can make a big difference | Jan 27 19:18 |
DaemonFC | I've only ever seen roadside radar with cameras in a few places in Indiana and they're stationary and bouncing radar off everything that goes by | Jan 27 19:18 |
DaemonFC | so they're easy to detect | Jan 27 19:18 |
DaemonFC | a police officer with an "instant on" system can ambush you, though he's probably painting cars ahead of you | Jan 27 19:19 |
DaemonFC | so you can usually tell he's out there | Jan 27 19:19 |
DaemonFC | I've had a few close calls even with the detector, where I only had maybe 10 seconds warning | Jan 27 19:20 |
DaemonFC | if it's just a cop driving around that leaves it on, enough of it will bounce off signs, the road, whatever to usually warn you with 20 seconds or more | Jan 27 19:21 |
DaemonFC | what pissed me off was one time when I really did get ambushed and my detector goes from 0 to 10 instantly and the lights and sirens come on | Jan 27 19:21 |
DaemonFC | hurried up and ripped it off the windshield and shoved it under my seat, got a warning ticket :) | Jan 27 19:22 |

DaemonFC | they didn't exactly sell well | Jan 27 20:34 |

schestowitz | In India they do this a lot | Jan 27 20:34 |
schestowitz | So they drive you to death by preventing access to generics | Jan 27 20:34 |
DaemonFC | yeah, it's hard to muscle store brand groceries off the shelves | Jan 27 20:35 |
DaemonFC | Walmart for example, makes a lot of money off store brand groceries, they only get rid of them if the competitor whips out the checkbook and buys the rest of the shelf | Jan 27 20:35 |
DaemonFC | sometimes the Walmart brand is made by the same people as the national brand (at least 60% of the time I'd say) | Jan 27 20:36 |
DaemonFC | Walmart basically "auctions" shelf space by making competitors "bid" for it | Jan 27 20:36 |
cubezzz | blah | Jan 27 20:36 |
DaemonFC | it's quite evil and should be illegal | Jan 27 20:36 |
cubezzz | don't give Walmart your money | Jan 27 20:37 |
cubezzz | another evil monopolist | Jan 27 20:37 |
DaemonFC | yeah, it's really easier said than done when the Kroger here is usually a third more expensive | Jan 27 20:37 |
DaemonFC | I go to Kroger if they have a really great sale | Jan 27 20:37 |
DaemonFC | their meat is good | Jan 27 20:37 |

DaemonFC | end stage renal failure for the bonus round..... | Jan 27 20:43 |
cubezzz | two easy to remember tips | Jan 27 20:43 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: I will not eat Walmart meat, I have to go so many places in town to shop to avoid high grocery prices and get everything I need | Jan 27 20:44 |
DaemonFC | but it's well worth it to avoid Walmart's meat, Kroger's high prices, and Big Lots only carrying dry grocery | Jan 27 20:44 |
cubezzz | yes, I do similar, but buy all at one place | Jan 27 20:45 |
cubezzz | in Ontario we have Loblaws which is pretty decent | Jan 27 20:45 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: Walmart will declare war on every business in town | Jan 27 20:46 |
DaemonFC | aren't they taking over in Canada too? | Jan 27 20:46 |

cubezzz | no :) | Jan 27 20:46 |
DaemonFC | Walmart will make it a point to dump merchandise really cheap long enough to run everyone else out of town | Jan 27 20:46 |
DaemonFC | then they jack the price up to higher than the competitors had | Jan 27 20:46 |
cubezzz | we have Loblaws/No Frills, and Sobeys/Price Chopper | Jan 27 20:46 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: they own Asda in the UK | Jan 27 20:47 |
cubezzz | Walmart is crappy, I don't give them 1 cent :) | Jan 27 20:47 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: Before a supercenter opens, the store management goes around profiling all the other businesses and giving an estimate of how long it will take to shut them down | Jan 27 20:47 |
DaemonFC | I've also went to competing stores with a device made to look like a phone, scanned all their items Walmart was interested in, and punched in the prices | Jan 27 20:48 |
cubezzz | the customer has the power of choice | Jan 27 20:48 |
DaemonFC | then you take it back to Walmart, plug it in, and the store's computer lowers Walmart's prices by 10% vs. the competitor | Jan 27 20:48 |
cubezzz | doesn't matter | Jan 27 20:48 |
DaemonFC | the department managers sign into their handheld terminals and print out the new shelf labels | Jan 27 20:48 |
cubezzz | you know Walmarts prices aren't even that great | Jan 27 20:49 |
cubezzz | it's a fallacy that "Their price is the lowest" | Jan 27 20:49 |
DaemonFC | they are where they have to be until the competitor is ran out of town | Jan 27 20:49 |
cubezzz | maybe | Jan 27 20:49 |
DaemonFC | then they jack up prices in that category | Jan 27 20:49 |
cubezzz | i think some Euro countries kicked Walmart out | Jan 27 20:49 |
cubezzz | like Germany, not positive though | Jan 27 20:49 |
DaemonFC | Walmart is willing to run their store at a loss to ruin surrounding competition | Jan 27 20:49 |
DaemonFC | I've seen them do it | Jan 27 20:50 |
DaemonFC | I've done it for them | Jan 27 20:50 |
cubezzz | in Southern Ontario there is lots of competition in the food business | Jan 27 20:50 |
DaemonFC | if the entire store is bleeding cash, that's alright for a year or two if it means decimating the competition, salting the Earth of them | Jan 27 20:50 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: Walmart has a bigger scale than anyone else, a more efficient store delivery system | Jan 27 20:51 |
cubezzz | Loblaws has an excellent bakery, far superior to Walmart | Jan 27 20:51 |
DaemonFC | they look for anything and everything to get operational costs to a minimum | Jan 27 20:51 |
cubezzz | their quality is low | Jan 27 20:51 |
DaemonFC | yeah, better product and better customer service can really help the competition | Jan 27 20:52 |
cubezzz | would you buy a computer there? Of course not | Jan 27 20:52 |
DaemonFC | but the customer is buying the same thing at a lower price at Walmart 80% of the time | Jan 27 20:52 |
DaemonFC | so you have to be a specialty shop to outmaneuver them | Jan 27 20:52 |
DaemonFC | and even that may not save you | Jan 27 20:52 |
DaemonFC | people might throw Walmart baked goods in the cart just because they're at Walmart anyway | Jan 27 20:53 |
DaemonFC | this is the plan | Jan 27 20:53 |
cubezzz | DaemonFC, Germany kicked Walmart out :) | Jan 27 20:53 |
cubezzz | just like Microsoft is getting the boot, so will Walmart | Jan 27 20:53 |
cubezzz | once people wake up | Jan 27 20:53 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: And as a former Walmart manager eith a little bit of inside knowledge of how they do things.... | Jan 27 20:53 |
DaemonFC | Germany made the right call | Jan 27 20:53 |
DaemonFC | *with | Jan 27 20:53 |
cubezzz | I don't think NYC has Walmart either | Jan 27 20:54 |
cubezzz | or Chicago | Jan 27 20:54 |
DaemonFC | get rid of them while you can, they'll strip mine your town, your state, your country | Jan 27 20:54 |

DaemonFC | wherever there's no worker safety laws, no minimum wages, no environmental protection, you'll find a Walmarrt supplier running a sweatshop | Jan 27 20:56 |
DaemonFC | possibly even with child labor | Jan 27 20:56 |
cubezzz | surely for groceries you can do better than Walmart? | Jan 27 20:56 |
DaemonFC | not really, they just ran the "premium" grocery store out in May of last year | Jan 27 20:56 |
DaemonFC | Marsh | Jan 27 20:56 |
DaemonFC | higher prices, but they carried better/fresher/tastier stuff | Jan 27 20:57 |
DaemonFC | didn't save them | Jan 27 20:57 |
cubezzz | man, that's terrible | Jan 27 20:57 |
DaemonFC | yeah, Walmart is trying to devour everything in their path | Jan 27 20:57 |
DaemonFC | and Marsh had the best meat department I've ever been to | Jan 27 20:58 |
DaemonFC | they didn't carry one thing that I didn't like | Jan 27 20:58 |
DaemonFC | same with bakery and dairy departments | Jan 27 20:58 |
DaemonFC | you replace that fresh-made stuff with Walmart's processed crap | Jan 27 20:58 |
DaemonFC | well, it's disgusting | Jan 27 20:58 |
cubezzz | Loblaws has been around since the 1920's | Jan 27 20:58 |
cubezzz | maybe even longer | Jan 27 20:59 |
DaemonFC | Walmart doesn't even have a butcher, they get all their meat preprocessed and prepackaged | Jan 27 20:59 |
DaemonFC | Smithfield | Jan 27 20:59 |
DaemonFC | Google it | Jan 27 20:59 |
cubezzz | I believe you | Jan 27 20:59 |
DaemonFC | illegal aliens, wage and hour violations, worker safety violations | Jan 27 20:59 |
DaemonFC | they even literally are the local government | Jan 27 21:00 |
cubezzz | Loblaws: founded 1919 | Jan 27 21:00 |
*gargoyle-grin has quit ("Leaving.") | Jan 27 21:00 | |
DaemonFC | the police in that town are Smithfield employees | Jan 27 21:00 |
cubezzz | in fact, our family has shopped at Loblaws since the 60's | Jan 27 21:00 |
DaemonFC | it's a company town they're running | Jan 27 21:00 |
cubezzz | did you know when I first came to Canada there was no McDolands or Burger King? | Jan 27 21:00 |
DaemonFC | Walking Tall has nothing on Smithfield Meat Packing | Jan 27 21:00 |
cubezzz | McDonalds | Jan 27 21:01 |

cubezzz | N. Ireland (Belfast), 1967 | Jan 27 21:01 |
DaemonFC | meh, makes sense then | Jan 27 21:02 |
DaemonFC | I don't think there was a lot of fast food here even in 1967 | Jan 27 21:02 |
DaemonFC | it exploded in the 70s and 80s | Jan 27 21:02 |
DaemonFC | nobody has a sit down dinner anymore | Jan 27 21:02 |
DaemonFC | rush rush, employer demands more of your time every week | Jan 27 21:03 |
cubezzz | in the US there was, but I wouldn't know first-hand | Jan 27 21:03 |
DaemonFC | no time for the family, everyone for themselves, pop something in the microwave | Jan 27 21:03 |
DaemonFC | that's where this processed food bullshit came from too | Jan 27 21:03 |
cubezzz | actually I cook | Jan 27 21:04 |
cubezzz | stopped eating fast food around 2005 | Jan 27 21:04 |
DaemonFC | there's an aisle for snacks, three aisles for frozen convenience food, a wall of lunch meat, a wall of pre-processed cheeses | Jan 27 21:04 |
DaemonFC | the fresh produce is like 1/10th the size of all the convenience food departments | Jan 27 21:05 |
DaemonFC | even then half of it's not fresh, it's salad kits | Jan 27 21:05 |
DaemonFC | pre-sliced fruit salads | Jan 27 21:05 |
cubezzz | I seem to remember Piggly Wiggly :) | Jan 27 21:06 |
DaemonFC | it's not surprising that nobody eats right, everyone has high blood pressure, everyone has high cholesterol | Jan 27 21:06 |
cubezzz | not sure if they are still around in the USA | Jan 27 21:06 |
DaemonFC | the convenience store chain? | Jan 27 21:06 |
DaemonFC | probably somewhere | Jan 27 21:06 |

cubezzz | I'm close to Buffalo you see | Jan 27 21:08 |
DaemonFC | monster triple thickburger, like 1600 calories\ | Jan 27 21:08 |
DaemonFC | now that is gluttony | Jan 27 21:08 |
cubezzz | SuperValu is one of them | Jan 27 21:08 |
cubezzz | what's the recommended daily intake? | Jan 27 21:09 |
DaemonFC | meh, 2,000-2,500 for most people per day | Jan 27 21:09 |
DaemonFC | 2,000 being a woman | Jan 27 21:09 |
DaemonFC | or a really short man I suppose | Jan 27 21:09 |
DaemonFC | I had it figured out once that 2,000 a day would leave me at about 150 pounds | Jan 27 21:11 |
DaemonFC | so it's not really enough to sustain me, but it's close enough to slap on the back of a package of something | Jan 27 21:11 |
DaemonFC | the problem is that it's so easy to overdo it | Jan 27 21:12 |
cubezzz | "The estimated calories per day for men between 31 - 50 should be 2,400 - 2,600 for moderately active men, and 2,800 - 3,000 for active men." | Jan 27 21:12 |
DaemonFC | you add a small pack of M&M's to that and suddenly I'm 200 pounds | Jan 27 21:12 |
cubezzz | "he estimated calories per day for men between 19 - 30 should be 2,600 - 2,800 for moderately active men, and 3,000 for active men." | Jan 27 21:13 |
cubezzz | so 2000 per day would be rather low | Jan 27 21:13 |
DaemonFC | I'd be a blimp at 2600 | Jan 27 21:15 |
schestowitz | What's "active"? | Jan 27 21:15 |
schestowitz | my heart keeps beating, I think I'm "active" | Jan 27 21:16 |

cubezzz | I assume someone who does at least 1 hour per day of exercise | Jan 27 21:16 |
schestowitz | What exercise? | Jan 27 21:16 |
cubezzz | an hour per day on a stationary bike for example | Jan 27 21:16 |
schestowitz | And it depends on bodyweight | Jan 27 21:16 |
DaemonFC | yeah, because fat and muscle both add to your base metabolic rate | Jan 27 21:17 |
schestowitz | These measures don't take some factors into account like race, size... just gender | Jan 27 21:17 |
DaemonFC | you lose weight slower the more weight you lose | Jan 27 21:17 |
DaemonFC | I think it takes like 10 calories a day to maintain a pound of fat and 18 a day for muscle | Jan 27 21:17 |
cubezzz | well, if you don't walk, and you sit on your butt at work and you don't exercise, then I can safely say you're not active :) | Jan 27 21:18 |
DaemonFC | so once you've lost 50 pounds, you've be forced to cut off 500 calories a day to keep losing weight at the speed you started out at | Jan 27 21:18 |
