[08:52] holy crap, netcat/socat/cryptcat/etc. are so awesome. <3 [08:52] YOU CAN MAKE AN INET DAEMON OUT OF ANYTHINGGGG [09:08] for instance, ncat (nmap's bundled netcat; it's the only maintained linux version that supports persistent/multiple connections- via -k) is pretty handy: [09:09] run ncat -l -k -e `which date` 1234 (if you have a recent version of nmap installed) and then open up localhost:1234 in a browser. :D [09:09] hit refresh and the date changes. huzzah! [09:09] telnet in and: zsh 4998 % telnet localhost 1234 [09:09] Trying 127.0.0.1... [09:09] Connected to localhost. [09:09] Escape character is '^]'. [09:09] Fri Apr 1 03:09:21 CDT 2011 [09:10] (and then the connection closes. replace the `which date` part with `which watch (which date)`, i think, if you want it to update) [09:12] whoops, nevermind: i mean ncat -l -k -e "`which watch date`" 1234 [09:13] 'course, then this stops working with a browser because it just continually loads data...more, and more, and more... [09:13] until eventually your browser times out and you get an ugly-looking stream [11:50] Good Morning Pennsylvania. [12:12] o/ [12:24] for the record. backing up server. [12:26] morning [13:23] morning [13:42] Pretty snow fall here. Mornin' JonathanD [13:48] InHisName: yes, april fools snow eh? :P [13:51] Get a load of what woot.com is doing It's bag of crap day and not selling out so quickly. [13:52] Forced to play game 'delivering' woots. Must achieve level 7 to win chance to buy BOC. [13:58] bah [13:58] I've tried 3 times now. [13:59] I keep getting 2 objects side by side. [14:04] is this even posible? [14:13] Good bacon to all! [14:15] this is unpossible. [14:17] What? You think the world is nuts just because I got engaged? [14:19] yes. [14:19] no [14:19] I mean the woot thing. [14:20] ahhh [14:20] Anyone here play Runes of Magic? [14:47] What is 2 side by side mean ? I had cannon to shoot woots into homes. Had to dodge junk on road as it moved along. [14:48] Sometimes I made it into homes sometimes missed. Hit trash, game done, if NOT level 7 then NO BUY BOC. [14:48] I got to level 2 once. Nice to save $8. [14:49] JonathanD: snow doesn't bother me much if I can hang in basement IRC'ing. [15:01] unicorn.... === Pici is now known as ZarroBoogs [16:32] Google_Motion++ [16:32] oh, sorry [16:32] Gmail_Motion++ [16:33] I want to know what Google's budget for Aprils Fools is. [16:33] 5 billion dollars [16:37] Wouldn't you be a little dubious if you worked for Google and they told you that you would be spending the next month working on their April Fools joke? [16:39] lol [16:41] I got to level 4 last night when the BOC was at level 3, but the darn server stopped responding so I could never buy [16:41] Seems like good subject matter for a corporate hazing for interns. "We have a special project for you, guys! Be sure to tell your friends about it, its going to be big." And then it appears on google.com on Apr 1... [16:41] Like gmail?

I somehow slid between them and DIDN't end the game, JonathanD maybe at the precise pixel it still may go. [19:00] lol [19:01] Everyone was aware that yesterday was World Backup Day [19:01] http://www.worldbackupday.net/ [19:01] Title: World Backup Day 2011 - March 31st (at www.worldbackupday.net) [19:01] 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. [19:18] "Does your floppy disk have too much storage space? Want something even larger, floppier, and more fragile? Well look no further, paper is here!" [19:42] The question is, just how dense can you potentially store data on a sheet of paper? [19:43] You have horizontal, vertical, and spectral axis available to you. [19:45] If you can scan at a higher resolution than you print I think your efficiency goes up considerably [20:05] think 8 translucent colors all readable and 2500x1600 dots x 8 levels give lots more than 2MB [20:33] 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 [20:34] Right? iirc, printers do not print colors over one another [20:34] They print dots next to each other [20:34] I could be wrong.. [20:35] * ChinnoDog looks for a color printout [20:35] I don't have one. I don't have a color printer set up here. lol [20:37] I guess I've seen inkjets that print overtop of itself. Thats how pages get soggy [20:37] 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] 6 colors = 6 bits = 64 values per dot [20:38] ChinnoDog: laserjets print color on top of each other [20:38] k [20:38] Are they capable of varying the amplitude of an individual color? [20:39] Or is that achieved through dot density alone? [20:51] laserjets don't really do "dots" [20:52] they use a laser to carve an electrostatic image on a photosensitive drum and the toner bonds to the differential charge [20:52] It is still measured as pixels, but the paper (and maybe the drum) resolution is too low to separate them [20:53] you can change CONTRAST by changing the voltage of the developing roller though [20:53] hrm. This is all very complicated [20:53] Even with an assumption the scanner is higher res than the printer it gets ugly [20:53] 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 [20:54] 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. [20:55] I suspect attracting particles is far less accurate than aiming a laser [20:56] http://www.howstuffworks.com/laser-printer.htm [20:56] Title: HowStuffWorks "How Laser Printers Work" (at www.howstuffworks.com) [22:02] HEY, ANDREW [22:02] I GOT SOMETHIN' FOR YA.

[22:53] harumph [23:01] Quite.
