[14:52] Morning Ohio [14:53] Anyone ever play with the tahoe grid filesystem? [17:29] Never even heard of it. [17:35] http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs [17:35] the security is pretty well thought out [17:36] 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] 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 [19:06] * BiosElement sighs [19:06] Planet Ubuntu/KDE really need to start removing some people >.< === paultag_ is now known as paultag [19:07] What's going on there? [19:08] Eh, idiotic political posts that have null to do with ubuntu, kde, programming, computers or anything of the sort even remotely related. [19:10] Webkit will take over the world. [19:10] Firefox doesn't use it ;) [19:11] Sucks to be Mozilla then [19:11] They're being totally out-developed at the moment [19:14] FF4 is looking good (but *very* late...) [19:16] Late and not terribly innovative really. [19:20] fsm help us from 'innovation' [19:22] Or not. [19:30] because, you know, I think that's what is really missing in the world right now--enough browser innovation. [19:31] I suppose it keeps the kids off the streets and out of gangs, though. [19:31] and it presents less threat to life and limb than being an NFL player. [19:42] You seem to underestimate how big a difference technology can make >.< [19:49] well, I realize more and more the older I get just how limited I am. [19:50] But I think I have a decent grasp of the differences technology can make. [19:50] but perhaps even more than you, what a pittance the 'technology' you're talking about constitutes in the broader scheme of technology. [19:53] 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. [19:54] DDT was innovative [19:54] man, meningitis sucks. [19:55] BiosElement: to which tool do you refer that has been mainstream for 15-20 years? [19:55] djoe: The George Foreman grill. [19:55] canthus13: pretty sure that isn't it. [19:55] djoe: I think he means desktop/laptop computers. [19:55] are those really 15 years old? [19:56] djoe: About.. they came out in the early 90's iirc. [19:56] I'm just wondering what value of "mainstream" we're using here. [19:56] 1994. [19:57] djoe: Probably coinciding with the introduction of the web to the general public... around 1994/1995. [19:57] well, the web certainly wasn't mainstream then [19:57] * djoe installed NCSA httpd on a system around then. [19:59] 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] "83.5 percent of all computerized photographs available on the Internet are pornographic" [19:59] djoe: 1995 was about when web addresses started appearing on tv ads. [20:00] the Netcape IPO was then [20:00] but it's an odd sort of 'mainstream' === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 [22:47] http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2011/03/18/unlock-most-cardkey-door-control-systems-with-caribou/ [22:53] holy freaking crap I want to punch the idiot who is parked in front of their house with their subwoofers blasting >.< [23:13] Cheri703: EMP? [23:13] well, it finally stopped, but having a directional emp would be AMAZING [23:14] * Unit193 would have too much fun with that... [23:23] Cheri703: Meh. Stungun applied directly to the stereo works. [23:24] 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! [23:25] :D [23:25] Of course, if you're wielding a stun gun, they're not likely to retaliate. [23:26] depends how long it takes to cycle after a discharge [23:26] Most people don't realize stun guns need to cycle. [23:27] tru [23:27] e [23:28] A molotov cocktail would be effective, too. :) [23:28] true [23:28] * Unit193 is working on a friends laptop and named it Aegir (Capt. of Valhalla, Asgard mothership) === Vetinari is now known as lukjad [23:54] * Cheri703 is working on this: http://samurai-sudoku.com/ [23:54] difficulty: fiendish
