[14:53] <thafreak> Anyone ever play with the tahoe grid filesystem?
[17:29] <canthus13> Never even heard of it.
[17:35] <thafreak> http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs
[17:35] <thafreak> the security is pretty well thought out
[17:36] <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
[19:06]  * BiosElement sighs
[19:06] <BiosElement> Planet Ubuntu/KDE really need to start removing some people >.<
[19:07] <Unit193> What's going on there?
[19:08] <BiosElement> Eh, idiotic political posts that have null to do with ubuntu, kde, programming, computers or anything of the sort even remotely related.
[19:10] <BiosElement> Webkit will take over the world.
[19:10] <Unit193> Firefox doesn't use it ;)
[19:11] <BiosElement> Sucks to be Mozilla then
[19:11] <BiosElement> They're being totally out-developed at the moment
[19:14] <Unit193> FF4 is looking good (but *very* late...)
[19:16] <BiosElement> Late and not terribly innovative really.
[19:20] <djoe> fsm help us from 'innovation'
[19:22] <BiosElement> Or not.
[19:30] <djoe> because, you know, I think that's what is really missing in the world right now--enough browser innovation.
[19:31] <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.
[19:42] <BiosElement> You seem to underestimate how big a difference technology can make >.<
[19:49] <djoe> well, I realize more and more the older I get just how limited I am.
[19:50] <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.
[19:53] <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.
[19:54] <djoe> DDT was innovative
[19:54] <djoe> man, meningitis sucks.
[19:55] <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?
[19:56] <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.
[19:57] <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.
[19:59] <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.
[20:00] <djoe> the Netcape IPO was then
[20:00] <djoe> but it's an odd sort of 'mainstream'

[22:53] <Cheri703> holy freaking crap I want to punch the idiot who is parked in front of their house with their subwoofers blasting >.<
[23:13] <Unit193> Cheri703: EMP?
[23:13] <Cheri703> well, it finally stopped, but having a directional emp would be AMAZING
[23:14]  * Unit193 would have too much fun with that...
[23:23] <canthus13> Cheri703: Meh. Stungun applied directly to the stereo works.
[23:24] <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!
[23:25] <canthus13> :D
[23:25] <canthus13> Of course, if you're wielding a stun gun, they're not likely to retaliate.
[23:26] <Cheri703> depends how long it takes to cycle after a discharge
[23:26] <canthus13> Most people don't realize stun guns need to cycle.
[23:27] <Cheri703> tru
[23:27] <Cheri703> e
[23:28] <canthus13> A molotov cocktail would be effective, too. :)
[23:28] <Cheri703> true
[23:28]  * Unit193 is working on a friends laptop and named it Aegir (Capt. of Valhalla, Asgard mothership)
[23:54]  * Cheri703 is working on this: http://samurai-sudoku.com/
[23:54] <Cheri703> difficulty: fiendish
