| bts3685|vps | for instance, ncat (nmap's bundled netcat; it's the only maintained linux version that supports persistent/multiple connections- via -k) is pretty handy: | 09:08 |

| bts3685|vps | whoops, nevermind: i mean ncat -l -k -e "`which watch date`" 1234 | 09:12 |
| bts3685|vps | 'course, then this stops working with a browser because it just continually loads data...more, and more, and more... | 09:13 |

| PennBot | Title: World Backup Day 2011 - March 31st (at www.worldbackupday.net) | 19:01 |
| ChinnoDog | I still remember once upon a time seeing something on the news about how people were writing files to paper as dense bar codes and the news people were saying about how it could be a new way to transfer files. I was rolling my eyes the first time I saw it. | 19:01 |
| andrew | "Does your floppy disk have too much storage space? Want something even larger, floppier, and more fragile? Well look no further, paper is here!" | 19:18 |
| ChinnoDog | The question is, just how dense can you potentially store data on a sheet of paper? | 19:42 |
| ChinnoDog | You have horizontal, vertical, and spectral axis available to you. | 19:43 |
| ChinnoDog | If you can scan at a higher resolution than you print I think your efficiency goes up considerably | 19:45 |
| InHisName | think 8 translucent colors all readable and 2500x1600 dots x 8 levels give lots more than 2MB | 20:05 |
| ChinnoDog | You can't multiplex colors unless you are scanning at a resolution lower than printing resolution, in which case you have already lost a lot of data | 20:33 |
| ChinnoDog | Right? iirc, printers do not print colors over one another | 20:34 |
| ChinnoDog | They print dots next to each other | 20:34 |
| ChinnoDog | I could be wrong.. | 20:34 |
| * ChinnoDog looks for a color printout | 20:35 | |
| ChinnoDog | I don't have one. I don't have a color printer set up here. lol | 20:35 |
| ChinnoDog | I guess I've seen inkjets that print overtop of itself. Thats how pages get soggy | 20:37 |
| ChinnoDog | Ok, in that case you can have as many colors as there are permutations of the number of colors you have in your printer | 20:37 |
| ChinnoDog | 6 colors = 6 bits = 64 values per dot | 20:37 |
| bts3685|vps | ChinnoDog: laserjets print color on top of each other | 20:38 |
| ChinnoDog | k | 20:38 |
| ChinnoDog | Are they capable of varying the amplitude of an individual color? | 20:38 |
| ChinnoDog | Or is that achieved through dot density alone? | 20:39 |
| bts3685|vps | laserjets don't really do "dots" | 20:51 |
| bts3685|vps | they use a laser to carve an electrostatic image on a photosensitive drum and the toner bonds to the differential charge | 20:52 |
| ChinnoDog | It is still measured as pixels, but the paper (and maybe the drum) resolution is too low to separate them | 20:52 |
| bts3685|vps | you can change CONTRAST by changing the voltage of the developing roller though | 20:53 |
| ChinnoDog | hrm. This is all very complicated | 20:53 |
| ChinnoDog | Even with an assumption the scanner is higher res than the printer it gets ugly | 20:53 |
| bts3685|vps | err.. paper doesn't have a resolution, and neither does the drum. the "resolution" on the drum is as precise as the laser can move steadily | 20:53 |
| ChinnoDog | The drum is not as precise as the laser, it is going to depend on how accurately the toner sticks to charged areas. If one charged area attracts a glob of toner instead of just enough particles to fill it, your resolution goes down. It can't be perfect. | 20:54 |
| ChinnoDog | I suspect attracting particles is far less accurate than aiming a laser | 20:55 |
