[00:35] <Unit193> Is there some way to basically have cat monitor a file then show when more has been appended?
[00:36] <Unit193> (or nano, less, more, etc)
[00:38] <canthus13> tail
[00:45] <Unit193> logtail?
[00:47] <canthus13> just tail
[00:47] <canthus13> man tail
[00:49] <canthus13> tail -f, I think.
[00:49] <Unit193> That did it! yep tail -f
[00:51] <Unit193> Now if only I can get it to notify screen...
[00:53] <canthus13> Might be able to pipe it to notifications.. Not sure how it would notify within screen.  I'd just keep it running in a separate screen window.
[00:54] <Unit193> I'm running it in a screen window, I'm just looking for the "Bell in window 6"
[01:41] <canthus13> Unit193: check 10.6  http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/screen-3.9.4/html_chapter/screen_10.html

[02:31] <BiosElement> ^Two really important articles for anyone who actually cares about internet freedom
[02:42] <canthus13> BiosElement: The Comcast/NBC merger that was approved today is way bigger than either of those.
[02:43] <BiosElement> canthus13: Eh not from what I've seen
[02:45] <canthus13> BiosElement: Ok. Think of it this way. Comcast now controls a large amount of desirable content. They can't suddenly shut off access to NBC properties to everyone but comcast customers, but they can start shifting the prime stuff to comcast-only over a period of a few years...
[02:45] <canthus13> Comcast is focused hard on controlling media. period.
[02:46] <BiosElement> NBC is desirable? OoooK then
[02:46] <canthus13> BiosElement: NBC owns a lot of content.
[02:46] <BiosElement> I can't think of a single TV-news-anything that is worth a damn
[02:47] <canthus13> BiosElement: *shrug* You're not most media consumers, either.
[02:47] <BiosElement> True, I look for real articles, not 'omg wth' attention getting headlines.
[02:47] <canthus13> Heh
[02:47] <BiosElement> Which is why I ignore Ars Technica now too which is a shame, they used to be good
[02:47] <canthus13> we're fast approaching a single source of content.
[02:48] <BiosElement> Eh that's so overhyped.
[02:48] <canthus13> you have ABC/Disney/ESPN, Comcast/NBC/Viacom (I think comcast got viacom a while back, didn't they), MTV, and a few other small providers.
[02:48] <canthus13> 15 years ago, there were dozens.
[02:49] <BiosElement> I say as someone who doesn't watch cable. >.>
[02:49] <BiosElement> Who cares, it's changing times
[02:49] <BiosElement> The real 'channels' are now billions of websites.
[02:49] <canthus13> Not if comcast has their way.
[02:49] <BiosElement> That's the only battle we need to fight in the end
[02:49] <BiosElement> Cable is dying, I don't give a damn. They're having to face the fact that people will no longer be just sheep.
[02:49] <canthus13> Comcast owns those connections. as soon as they can, they'll shut them off. AT&T is working on the same.
[02:49] <canthus13> Cable isn't, though. it's just changing.
[02:49] <BiosElement> Now you're just hyping it.
[02:49] <BiosElement> >.>
[02:50] <BiosElement> Comcast tried that
[02:50] <canthus13> Nope. I'm right in the middle of it.
[02:50] <BiosElement> They got screwed over
[02:50] <canthus13> It's not stopping them.
[02:50] <canthus13> they just need to consolidate a little more power.
[02:50] <canthus13> Hence the NBC merger.
[02:51] <canthus13> Hopefully the FTC doesn't approve any more mergers of that scale.. Like say.. Comcast/Disney.
[02:51] <BiosElement> You're not going to convince me on that, I really don't care what cable does. The internet is the future and we're seeing the battle lines drawn as such.
[02:52] <canthus13> Cable isn't just cable anymore.  Comcast owns a huge amount of critical trunk lines in the US.
[02:52] <canthus13> TWC is working on the same.
[02:52] <BiosElement> Exactly
[02:52] <BiosElement> It's kinda pathetic when China is more progressive then the US and UK combined
[02:53] <canthus13> Comcast (And other cable companies) aren't focused so much on TV except as a means to an end.  There's not much profit cable TV anymore. It's a value-added service for internet and phone service.
[02:54] <canthus13> and phone service (land lines) is fast going the way of the dodo, at least as far as residential service is concerned.
[02:55] <BiosElement> Yep
[04:01] <Unit193> Talking about Calvin and Hobbes "I don't actually read that one but I've heard good things."
[04:01] <Unit193> That just isn't right....
[04:06] <canthus13> witeshark: huh?
[04:10] <canthus13> ...
[04:11] <Cheri703> ?
[04:15] <canthus13> Cheri703: hell if I know. :)

[16:39] <deejoe> canthus13: are you a moon landing skeptic, too, or did you not read the last entry?
[16:41] <Cheri703> SWEET FREEDOM!
[16:41]  * Cheri703 just woke up about 20 min ago :)
[16:43] <canthus13> deejoe: I didn't bother to read it.  Moon skeptics are idiots. :)
[16:44] <deejoe> canthus13: then you'll not have noticed that it's a parody
[16:44] <canthus13> deejoe: Prolly not. :)
[16:44]  * canthus13 goes and watches the clip of buzz aldrin punching the skeptic for kicks.
[16:53] <canthus13> deejoe: Ok. it was cute. :)
