thafreak | Anyone ever play with the tahoe grid filesystem? | 14:53 |
canthus13 | Never even heard of it. | 17:29 |
thafreak | http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs | 17:35 |
thafreak | the security is pretty well thought out | 17:35 |
thafreak | so you can actually store stuff on the public grid, and no one will be able to access it but your gatway node | 17:36 |
thafreak | I'm thinking about setting up storage nodes at any possible location I can...just don't know if I have enough to make it redundant | 17:36 |
* BiosElement sighs | 19:06 | |
BiosElement | Planet Ubuntu/KDE really need to start removing some people >.< | 19:06 |

Unit193 | What's going on there? | 19:07 |
BiosElement | Eh, idiotic political posts that have null to do with ubuntu, kde, programming, computers or anything of the sort even remotely related. | 19:08 |
BiosElement | Webkit will take over the world. | 19:10 |
Unit193 | Firefox doesn't use it ;) | 19:10 |
BiosElement | Sucks to be Mozilla then | 19:11 |
BiosElement | They're being totally out-developed at the moment | 19:11 |
Unit193 | FF4 is looking good (but *very* late...) | 19:14 |
BiosElement | Late and not terribly innovative really. | 19:16 |
djoe | fsm help us from 'innovation' | 19:20 |
BiosElement | Or not. | 19:22 |
djoe | because, you know, I think that's what is really missing in the world right now--enough browser innovation. | 19:30 |
djoe | I suppose it keeps the kids off the streets and out of gangs, though. | 19:31 |
djoe | and it presents less threat to life and limb than being an NFL player. | 19:31 |
BiosElement | You seem to underestimate how big a difference technology can make >.< | 19:42 |
djoe | well, I realize more and more the older I get just how limited I am. | 19:49 |
djoe | But I think I have a decent grasp of the differences technology can make. | 19:50 |
djoe | but perhaps even more than you, what a pittance the 'technology' you're talking about constitutes in the broader scheme of technology. | 19:50 |
BiosElement | For a tool that's only been mainstream for barely 15-20 years, it's done some amazing things I don't think anyone can deny. Even taking into account that computers in-general are really still quite young, they've managed to change the world and I think most would say for the better. If no one innovated and tried new ideas, we'd still be living in caves. | 19:53 |
djoe | DDT was innovative | 19:54 |
djoe | man, meningitis sucks. | 19:54 |
djoe | BiosElement: to which tool do you refer that has been mainstream for 15-20 years? | 19:55 |
canthus13 | djoe: The George Foreman grill. | 19:55 |
djoe | canthus13: pretty sure that isn't it. | 19:55 |
canthus13 | djoe: I think he means desktop/laptop computers. | 19:55 |
djoe | are those really 15 years old? | 19:55 |
canthus13 | djoe: About.. they came out in the early 90's iirc. | 19:56 |
djoe | I'm just wondering what value of "mainstream" we're using here. | 19:56 |
canthus13 | 1994. | 19:56 |
canthus13 | djoe: Probably coinciding with the introduction of the web to the general public... around 1994/1995. | 19:57 |
djoe | well, the web certainly wasn't mainstream then | 19:57 |
* djoe installed NCSA httpd on a system around then. | 19:57 | |
djoe | case in point, this 1995 furor over how the Internet was good for nothing but porn http://w2.eff.org/Misc/Publications/Declan_McCullagh/www/rimm/time.html | 19:59 |
djoe | "83.5 percent of all computerized photographs available on the Internet are pornographic" | 19:59 |
canthus13 | djoe: 1995 was about when web addresses started appearing on tv ads. | 19:59 |
djoe | the Netcape IPO was then | 20:00 |
djoe | but it's an odd sort of 'mainstream' | 20:00 |

Unit193 | Cheri703: EMP? | 23:13 |
Cheri703 | well, it finally stopped, but having a directional emp would be AMAZING | 23:13 |
* Unit193 would have too much fun with that... | 23:14 | |
canthus13 | Cheri703: Meh. Stungun applied directly to the stereo works. | 23:23 |
Cheri703 | true, but I'd have to go over there and they'd know it was me. There's a big church a few doors down from my house, I'm thinking a small directional emp mounted up near the roof, able to be aimed from my house...heaven! | 23:24 |
canthus13 | :D | 23:25 |
canthus13 | Of course, if you're wielding a stun gun, they're not likely to retaliate. | 23:25 |
Cheri703 | depends how long it takes to cycle after a discharge | 23:26 |
canthus13 | Most people don't realize stun guns need to cycle. | 23:26 |
Cheri703 | tru | 23:27 |
Cheri703 | e | 23:27 |
canthus13 | A molotov cocktail would be effective, too. :) | 23:28 |
Cheri703 | true | 23:28 |
