nixternalsomeone tell me how 'canonical shutting down sounder' blog comments quickly switch to unity and shell? is it because they were quickly shot down for bullshit?01:28
nixternalfuck, i hate that. my byobu doesn't update quick enough so when i think i am in another channel, i am elsewhere. at least it was in this channel and not android or some shit where they boot you for farting01:28
rick_h__hah01:29

snap-lI <3 Meetings at 9am14:08
snap-lespecially meetings that appear to have grave importance.14:08
snap-lI fully expect Sony to adopt an Android gaming platform under the Playstation brand14:09
snap-lI think they already have a portable with Android, but I may be mistaken14:09
snap-lAlso <3 Live Meeting. (blergh)14:15
tjagodaWho games on sony products?14:25
tjagodaDidn't even know the playstation still existed. =P14:25
tjagodahttp://techcrunch.com/2011/04/26/nielsen-consumer-desire-for-android-grows-unlike-ios-and-blackberry/14:26
tjagodaArticle makes me cry on the inside14:26
tjagodaOh well14:29
tjagodaAt least BB is still growing14:29
tjagodaAnd beating WinMo14:29
tjagodaNOT YET UNDERDOG! WOO14:30
brouschpalm is the underdog. bb is the underplatypus. winmo is the underdungbeetle14:31
tjagodahttp://www.pcworld.com/article/226245/developers_frustration_with_android_growing_survey_finds.html14:32
tjagodaJust you wait until Android catches RIM disease14:32
tjagodaOverconfidence will be your undoing! =P14:33
brouschi was talking to guys from probably the best dev shop in GR last night. they develop using pretty much any technology, and BB is their most hated platform14:34
tjagoda"Developers annoyed by device fragmentation"14:34
tjagodaUnquestionably, the BB dev process is massively stupid14:34
brouschapparently you use java 1.3 to dev for bb14:34
tjagodaEven I can't defend that14:34
tjagoda=P14:34
tjagodaWith the Playbook they're at least trying to fix it though14:35
tjagodaopening up more languages and etc14:35
brouschyou can use java 1.4 features on playbook?14:35
tjagodaI expect it to be at least less painful with QNX14:35
tjagodaDuno about Java 1.4 specifically14:35
tjagodaI will look14:35
tjagodaUh14:38
tjagodaThis forum thread from 2007 had people saying they're using JDK1.4 for blackberry dev14:39
brouschbut you can't use a lot of the features introduced in 1.414:39
tjagoda"The general rule is this: always use a JDE version equal to or less than  the OS version you're targeting. For example, if you're targeting OS  4.3 you can use JDE 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 to develop your application,  but not 4.5, 4.7 or 5.0."14:39
tjagodaWoops14:40
tjagodawrong copy past14:40
tjagodaJDK is further down14:40
tjagoda /snags14:40
brouschhttp://spin.atomicobject.com/2010/11/22/the-cost-of-building-blackberry-apps14:40
tjagodaI think QNX phones are supposed to start hitting the market in 201214:42
tjagodaAnd that's when the entire blackberry line will have moved from Blackberry OS to QNX14:42
brouschone of the big hang-ups people have about android dev is that they have to use java. bb forces you to use an ancient java and dev on windows. it's like 10x worse!14:43
brouschno one wants that pain14:43
brouschmaybe it'll get better14:43
tjagodaQNX is (supposedly) supposed to increase your options for dev work, and not force you to use Java14:45
tjagodaYeah14:46
snap-lRIM Disease? Is that the disease where you spend time, energy, and money developing for a platform where most folks only download the Google apps and use the built-in crap?14:47
tjagodaAdobe SDK (AIR)14:47
tjagodaAnd WebWorks SDK14:47
snap-lWow, so the entire world of twitter apps is now available to the Playbook14:47
snap-lwell played.14:47
brouschair is very useful for making twitter clients14:47
snap-lbrousch: And it's also good for twitter clients14:48
tjagodaWebWorks is targeted for dev's who want to integrate existing web applications14:48
snap-lI think there's a few twitter clients made using air14:48
snap-lMy go-to playform for making twitter clients would certainly be AIR14:48
tjagodaAnd you can dev on Windows/Mac in both of those new options14:48
tjagodaLinux too in AIR14:48
tjagodaSo the process is like 6% less painful =P14:49
snap-lWhere you can make stunning twitter clients.14:49
tjagodaThey actually make the playbook simulator for linux14:49
tjagodawhich is cool14:49
snap-lTo you can twitter while you twitter14:49
snap-ls/To/So/14:49
tjagoda"RIM will add full tooling support for native C/C++ development for the  BlackBerry PlayBook tablet over the coming months.  We’re highly  confident about this.  The QNX team RIM acquired to develop our  BlackBerry Tablet OS has won awards for its Eclipse-based native  Integrated Development Environment (“IDE”)."14:50
tjagodaNative C ftw14:51
tjagodaThey also bought tinyHippos14:52
tjagodaAnd the only thing tinyHippos does is cross platform emulation14:52
brouschdefinitely. everyone wants buffer overflow vulnerabilities on their mobile device14:52
_stink_"We’re highly  confident about this." <-- this is always a bad sign.14:53
tjagodalol14:53
snap-l_stink_: ++14:54
snap-lWhich means they've contracted / outsourced it14:54
snap-lor they're not sure the mergers are going to be fruitful14:54
tjagodaHey14:55
tjagodaAt least they're finally giving it CPR14:56
tjagodaWhether or not they know how to perform CPR is yet to be seen14:56
snap-lYeah, about the same time that it was either them or God.14:56
snap-lThe platform has been moribund for a while14:57
snap-lit'll take some time for them to learn to adjust to a world without tweed jackets.14:57
tjagodaData over the nextel network is SOOOO SLOOOW15:01
brouschdoes nextel still exist?15:03
brouschi thought sprint bought them and gutted it15:03
jjessejcastro that try ubuntu online w/ EC2 link doesn't work in IE 9 on the blog that was shared in google reader, the link flashes when i try to click on it15:11
jjessejcastro however it works in chrome15:12
brouschie9 is not a real web brwoser15:17
jjesseie9 runs faster and consumes less resources for me than chrome does15:18
jjessechrome is almost double the amount of memory than ie915:18
waldo323does ie 9 load everything?15:18
jjessefor the same pages15:18
tjagodabrousch: Sprint sells a "nextel" phone15:18
jjessewaldo323 what do you mean?15:18
tjagodanextel network was incompatible with sprint's network15:18
brouschthat's because it lacks features15:19
brouschi bet ie6 runs even faster15:19
waldo3232 fold, do things render correctly?  does it not load somethings15:19
snap-lI think it does lazy loading like Chrome15:19
jjesseevery page besdies the try ubuntu one loads for me15:19
snap-lso it'll load something once it's visible15:20
jjessethat i've vistied15:20
snap-lthough knowing Microsoft, it probably is a little too lazy. ;)15:20
waldo323so is chrome semi-hyper?15:22
snap-lAll in the name of science15:23
snap-land speed15:23
tjagodabrousch: it's so so painfully slow15:25
tjagodaLike the dialup of mobile networks15:25
tjagodaLook me half the day to download the 90MB Bberry OS update from sprint15:26
tjagodaerh15:26
tjagodafrom nextel*15:26
tjagodaWorks well for voice though15:26
tjagodaWhen sprint didn't work we'd move them to the nextel towers15:26
smoserhey ubuntu-us-mi peoples.15:32
smoseri'd be interested in anyone taking a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=173963515:33
smoserand telling me how it goes for you15:33
snap-lclicking15:34
snap-lspinning and loading15:34
snap-lThere we go15:34
snap-lAnd nothing.15:35
snap-lrequires Java to runi15:36
snap-lUnfortunately, it appears iced tea isn't up to the challenge?15:36
_stink_smoser: got the logo,  the flashing dots.... then timed out15:36
snap-lI have to download the NX plugin to get it to work15:37
snap-lThis is not particularly good marketing15:37
snap-laccidentally hit cancel, and now I'm toast.15:37
_stink_smoser: refresh -> timeout again.15:37
smoseryou hit cancel on the nxapplet?15:38
smoserand a reload is timing out?15:38
snap-lI hit "no" to give it permission by mistake.15:38
snap-lAnd now a connection error15:38
smoserconnection error ?15:39
snap-lall the while, a little timer is frustratingly counting down15:39
snap-lyeah, from NXApplet15:39
smoserhm..15:39
snap-lThe permissions are maddening15:39
snap-lthird try15:39
smoserpermissions?15:39
snap-lJava asks for permissions to run these apps if you don't have them already.15:40
smoseryeah15:40
snap-ltrust this, run that15:40
smoserthat does suck15:40
smoserbut there is nothing i can really do about that.15:40
snap-land I'm still getting a connection error15:40
smoserwell, we thought of 2 things15:40
snap-l5 minutes in, and I'm still not running shit15:40
smosera.) use the other gaping hole -- flash (but there exists a java applet)15:40
_stink_smoser: i tried again from the original link, got a java permission popup, said yes, and now i'm just getting a gray box with the timer15:40
jjessei've given java permsisions but nothing started15:40
smoserb.) release and browser exploit and then exploit it.15:41
smoser_stink_, reload the page15:41
smoserthat is a java error i think15:41
smoseralso just switching tabs back and forht seems to kick it sometimes.15:41
smoserjjesse, what do you see?15:41
_stink_smoser: tab switching didn't help, reloading page times out.15:41
brouschthey should just create the server and let people install nxclient themselves. then send an email with login info15:42
jjessesmoser countdown screen15:42
snap-l"There's no session file available on the server"15:42
smosersnap-l, hm...15:42
snap-l(hit logout, and tried to retry again"15:42
jjessecan't session timed out and all i can do is leave feedback15:43
_stink_smoser: refresh page again, now back to counter with gray box.15:43
snap-lYeah, and I'm leaving feedback.15:43
_stink_about to try an XP VM.15:43
brouschnot much luck on osx15:44
brouschthe timer and counting down and it says connecting to <ip address>15:44
smosersnap-l, :) thank you15:45
snap-lOh lovely... if you don't use the time, it's still counting down15:45
snap-lsmoser: If you have any authority, pull this campaign15:45
snap-lit's not working15:45
snap-lOh, hey... it showed up under Windows15:46
jjessewhat version of windows15:47
_stink_heh, i like when i got on with the XP VM, it continued the counter when i left off the not working linux attempt.15:47
snap-lXP15:47
snap-l_stink_: Yeah15:47
_stink_smoser: ok, on XP, i just get a black box with the counter.15:47
jjessetried windows 7 w/ chrome, windows  7 w/ firefox and windows 7 w/ ie9 and could get anythign to load15:48
jjesseand now i'm out of time15:48
_stink_i'm waiting to see what happens when time runs out.15:48
_stink_i hope there's an explostion15:48
_stink_explosion15:48
smoserthanks for your help. i will come back to you guys when its going  a bit better and clear your "already used" marker.15:48
brouschwhoa, i'm in15:48
brouschi had to close the tab and reopen it15:49
snap-lAlthough I have a video playing via nomachine. :)15:49
snap-lYeah, under Ubuntu it's a no-go15:49
snap-lunder Windows, it's working15:49
snap-lGo figure15:49
_stink_or Mario falling down to the bottom of the screen.15:49
brouschbut i am probably one of the few people that actually had nxclient installed already15:49
snap-lProbably a problem of the iced tea plugin15:49
brouschnow to use it to download massive amounts of pirated materials!15:50
snap-lOh, the notification of "Good Bye" is a nice touch15:50
snap-lExcept it doesn't appear to be logging me off. :)15:50
brouschhm, i don't remember the icons twitching around before15:51
snap-lOh, there it goes.15:51
_stink_heh, on this reload, the CSS didn't come down.  so i have an unstyled page with a black box and a morbid looking timer.15:51
_stink_20 SECONDS LEFT15:53
brouschoh man, i got kicked off with 2 minutes left15:54
brouschwas downloading an ISO at 12MB/s15:54
snap-lbrousch: Heh. :)15:54
_stink_hah15:54
snap-lInteresting to see what people do with 15 minutes of compute, and a fast pipe15:54
brouschi was downloading ubuntu of course!15:55
_stink_that's pretty meta.15:56
_stink_install virtualbox, download ubuntu ISO, install it, start VM, open browser, get ubuntu natty trial15:57
smoserbrousch, i dont knwo tha tit knows whether or not you've got the client installed15:58
smoseri think it downlads anyway.15:58
brouschi use nomachine as my vps to work. one time nxclient was breaking under linux, so i did: ubuntu, vmware player with winxp, nxclient to my work ubuntu, vnc from that machine to win2003sbs server, restart ubuntu VM in vmware server15:59
smosersnap-l, it does work under ubuntu... i'ave tried both under lucid and natty. but the grey box is an issue. i think its due to slow page loads.15:59
_stink_smoser: please let us know if we can do anything to get more debugging info.16:00
_stink_brousch: that's awesome.16:00
brouschit ran fine once i connected, but took about 5 minutes to connect. i think the issue is you need to reload the page/tab/browser? after downloading the nx stuff16:01
_stink_yeah, i saw a difference on reload the first time too.16:01
snap-lsmoser: Were you using the Sun plugin or the iced tea plugin?16:32
smosericed tea16:33
snap-lStrange16:33
smoserif you get the grey box, i think that brousch is correc.t16:33
smoserits an ordering thing... porbably really a bug in the nx client, but shown due to how slow page loads are happening16:33
snap-lI couldn't even get connected under Linux16:34
snap-lMight have been because of the cancellation that I did before16:34
brouschbrousch is correct? oh yeah, f34r my new giant head!16:35
wolfgerbrousch is correct? How did we let that happen?16:54
snap-lheh. :)17:19
snap-lI <3 Meetings17:21
snap-lGot another one starting in a half-hour17:21
snap-lThat'll be three.17:21
rick_h__hmm, sure it's not meeting monday?17:21
rick_h__snap-l: recording tonight?17:22
rick_h__at least trying to17:22
snap-lrick_h__: I've got MUG Board meeting tonight17:26
rick_h__doh, nvm then17:27
snap-lmight be able to eek something out afterwards17:27
jrwrenrick_h__: your feelings on this? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=24753517:27
rick_h__meh, that's ok. figured I'd check17:27
snap-lbut it'll be after 9pm17:27
jrwrenctrl-tab for vim tabnext17:27
snap-lrick_h__: yeah, this week isn't terribly good for evenings. :)17:27
rick_h__jrwren: sucky that the term eats it I guess17:28
rick_h__oh, you mean opinion on the shortcut itself?17:28
rick_h__tabs aren't useful is my feelings on that17:28
rick_h__I was a moron when I said I couldn't use vim until it got tabs17:29
snap-lhttp://mailman.salmar.com/pipermail/wftl-lug/2011-April/122027.html <- you'll lvoe this, rick_h__17:35
snap-l(follow the thread)17:35
rick_h__.:P17:38
rick_h__:P that is17:38
rick_h__wait, I never got to check with Blazeix on my toll bait I setup for him17:38
rick_h__he's probably off doing useful stuff, that silly guy17:38
rick_h__snap-l: but thanks for making sure django wasn't left as the only thing there +117:38
snap-lrick_h__: Yeah, I thought you might like that17:41
snap-lI love that I put in a bunch of suggestions, and the only thing he responded to was the question about what he's programmed in, and what he hopes to do17:43
rick_h__yea, I've never seen one of those threads go well17:44
rick_h__I've just stopped replying any more17:44
rick_h__if you don't already know what you want to do, you're not going to find something someone else tells you17:44
snap-lrick_h__: That's pessimistic17:45
rick_h__people learn because they want to, not because someon on the list said XX was fun.17:45
rick_h__ime that is17:45
rick_h__no, I mean if the guy wanted to learn python there'd be a desire/need already there17:45
snap-lYeah, I hear you. :)17:45
rick_h__I want to do XXX, oh, I can use python for that17:45
snap-lIt's the job shifter.17:46
snap-l"Oh, xx looks interesting. I wonder what resources are out there."17:46
rick_h__maybe I should say more "you're not going to stick through xx until the end if I give it to you vs if you come to me wanting to do xx"17:46
snap-l"I know, I'll ask a random list for what might be out there"17:46
snap-lMaybe that's a trait of Java developers17:47
snap-l"I want to use Java. What the hell am I thinking?"17:47
snap-lhttp://www.theonion.com/video/today-now-interviews-the-5yearold-screenwriter-of,20188/17:49
jrwrenrick_h__: agreed. windows rock, tabs less so. I'd really like some unified "next window or tab" because I do kind of use both.17:51
rick_h__jrwren: ah, between tiling, splits/windows, and buffer switching I've not opened a tab in a couple of years17:51
tjagodarick_h and window managament: How the other 3% live17:52
tjagoda=P17:52
rick_h__3%? thought it was more 0.3%17:53
jrwrenmaybe I should learn how to have an open buffer without having it displayed in a window :)17:53
_stink_yeah, how is that done?17:53
_stink_i think i used to know.17:53
rick_h__:tab<tab> to complete options?17:54
rick_h__probably :tabnew?17:54
rick_h__oh, sorry, missed jrwren in there17:54
rick_h__not have it displayed? You just open files as you need them17:54
rick_h__when you move a window from one file to another it's in the bufferlist17:55
rick_h__why open a file up if you don't want it in the window?17:55
snap-lrick_h__: To make sure nobody else gets the lock, of course.17:55
snap-lWhen you're making those on-the-production server changes. ;)17:56
rick_h__ah, got it17:56
rick_h__heh, that's too much thought17:56
rick_h__I'll just force edit anyway17:56
snap-land you call yourself a web developer. Sheesh17:57
snap-lYou must be doing that waterfall developmet where you actually check in code and promote17:57
snap-lWe're agile. We edit it right on the server17:58
tjagodaI think the nextel data is actually moving slower than 32kbps17:58
tjagodaOld school dialup baby17:58
snap-ltjagoda: Maybe they're using the backup USR Sportster method of data transfer17:58
rick_h__nextel? you downgrade from BB to nextel now?17:59
tjagodaThis is a nextel BB17:59
tjagodaYou can still buy nextel devices from sprint17:59
tjagodaMy BB is a sprint BB17:59
rick_h__lol, boy tjagoda can sure pick the winners17:59
tjagodathe BB i'm working on is not mine18:00
rick_h__:)18:00
rick_h__I thought they had phased out the nextel stuff and stolen their spectrum18:00
tjagodaHey, asshat, here's the reasoning which I had no part in picking =P18:00
tjagodaThey move people to nextel phones when sprint service doesn't work18:00
rick_h__woo! I'm victorius today. I've earned the a**hat crown18:00
snap-ltjagoda: West side of Michigan?18:00
rick_h__sorry, I'm very stabby today.18:00
tjagodanextel towers were incompatible with the sprint network, so they're all still there18:00
tjagodajust doing their own thing18:01
rick_h__just be glad you weren't my coworker asking in a meeting if we had any "collective knowledge using the redmine ticket system?"18:01
snap-lSeemed there was more nextel coverage on the west side.18:01
snap-lcollective knowledge?18:01
snap-lWhat's to know?18:01
tjagodasnap-l: nope, here in the east18:01
rick_h__yea, my answer was...in song of course "You put the ticket in, you close the ticket out, you put the ticket in and you shake your code about..."18:01
snap-ltjagoda: That's odd. Didn't think there was enough Nextel penetration out this way18:01
rick_h__stabby18:01
snap-lrick_h__: Maybe you can all sit around a campfire on some offsite retreat singing Kum-By-Yah, and close tickets together.18:02
tjagodaThe nextel always has service18:02
tjagodaeverywhere18:02
rick_h__yea, so do pagers18:02
snap-ltjagoda: Just slow access. I see.18:02
rick_h__not sure I'd want to run my phone over that network either :P18:02
snap-lrick_h__: You're getting a timeout. ;)18:03
* rick_h__ looks at the wife's pager she has to carry around18:03
tjagodaThe uber-low frequency spectrum nextel had was amazing18:03
tjagodagreat at making it through walls and basements because of the huge wavelength18:03
snap-lThe two-way radio was pretty snazzy as well18:03
snap-lalthough I grew to HATE that sound18:03
tjagodaChirpchirp18:03
snap-lbdweeeep. "HELLO"18:04
tjagodaAnd then when the person doesn't pick up, the three of for "UH, YOU THERE"18:04
tjagodawhich would follow18:04

snap-lMight as well have had a CB radio18:05
snap-l"BREAKER BREAKER, THIS HERE'S THE DUCK, AND I'M ABOUT TO GO A-HUNTIN' BEAR"18:05

jrwrenanyone run their home servers on LVM18:34
snap-ljrwren: Only in a VM, where it doesn't really matter anyway18:34
snap-lPlayed with the software raid once, just to see if I could break it. I did. :)18:35
jrwrenhow about non home servers?18:38
jrwreni'd like a bit more flexibility in my storage, and maybe some optional redundancy, but I don't really want LVM on MDraid18:38
jrwrenafter reading a serverfault Q and A I think I'll start adding all new disks to LVM  and migrate there over the next few years.18:42
jrwrenmy home server has been around for 5+ yrs now and I just keep swapping disks in and out.18:42
jrwrenhttp://serverfault.com/questions/13192/file-server-storage-configuration-raid-vs-lvm-vs-zfs-something-else18:42
snap-ljrwren: Do you know how LVM handles removing a drove from the volume?18:42
snap-lI'm not sure how it handles that18:42
jrwrenit does18:42

jrwrene.g.18:43
snap-lInteresting.18:45
rick_h__sweet, snap-l all community mgr on CHC18:47
krondorjrwren I use lvm on all my servers18:51
krondorworks well with very little overhead.  lvm on top of md on my home machine works too but w/ raid 5 and such you need to do some work on the chunk size and stride width to get good performance or there's tons of overhead.18:52
snap-lrick_h__: Heh. :)18:54

jjessenice20:58

greg-gwhoa, I didn't believe it until I looked at the regional radar, that is a mean looking line of storms21:01

rick_h__wow, glad I'm not a sony ps3 owner right now21:55
rick_h__and I was pissed at my bank/etc for that mailing list company breach21:55
snap-lrick_h__: New developments outside of "well, we don't know if we exposed your credit card info or not?"21:55
rick_h__yea21:55
rick_h__sec, let me find the link21:55
rick_h__http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/26/update-on-playstation-network-and-qriocity/21:56
jcastroheh21:56
snap-lI think their response can be summarized thusly: "oh fuck".21:57
rick_h__yea, "here's every link we can give you to help CYA over the data that got out. They basically rooted us and said bend over"21:58
snap-lThat's not a notification letter, that's their lawyers battoning down the hatches.21:59
jcastroyeah21:59
jcastroand they're even worse21:59
jcastrothey could have just said "we don't know, you might be screwed"21:59
snap-lbecause the class action is coming21:59
jcastrobut instead they hand wavied people21:59
jcastrothey should have said "not sure, call your bank and redo your shit"21:59
jcastrobut instead they had to be sony, and wait like 4 days22:00
rick_h__that's the big thing right?22:00
jcastronow, you're just as screwed as before but you've lost 4 or whatever days22:00
rick_h__they've kept quiet for days with all that data out there22:00
snap-ljcastro: Well, information is better than rumor22:00
snap-lwhat was compromised, what information did they have access to, what needs cleaning22:00
jcastrosnap-l: right, but they didn't do any of that22:01
snap-lI have a feeling there's another story to this22:01
jcastroit was typical corporate "now now, let's not get too hasty, we're just rebuilding the network to be more reliable and maybe we had a problem."22:01
snap-lie: who actually has access to that data outside of sony22:01
jcastro"OMFG WE WERE OWNED ALL ALONG."22:01
snap-land I'm willing to wager that someone outsourced their administration22:01
rick_h__yea, the minute they brought in an outside security firm they knew they were hosed22:01
rick_h__you don't just hire/bring them in without having looked it over first22:02
jcastrorick_h__: yup22:02
rick_h__they don't sign that check until they know it's going to be worth it22:02
snap-lrick_h__: I think they might not have had any choice22:02
snap-lThis sounds like someone cut the sysadmins until there was nothing left.22:02
snap-land, surprise surprise, they got pwned.22:03
jcastrothe sad part is people are going to dogpile sony22:03
jcastrowhen we know that our banks22:03
rick_h__this souds like someone got owned and it took 4 days to get the wording in the email from the laywers right22:03
jcastro.gov22:03
jcastroand everything important is just as screwed22:03
rick_h__cool though, most of the headlines are "CC may have been stolen" in the titles22:04
snap-lWell, the problem is it's ecommerce. Any time you have money flowing in, you're a more ripe target, and have much more to lose when you're hacked.22:04
snap-ler, cracked.22:04
jcastroright22:04
jcastrobut it's the same with meatspace22:04
jcastrosomeone 100 years ago said22:05
jcastro"that's the problem with commerce, some guy can walk in with a gun into a bank ...."22:05
rick_h__yea, except now they get XXmillion in one hit22:05
rick_h__vs the number of people you can hit in a space irl22:05
snap-lYeah, the old saying "why rob banks? That's where the money is"22:05
snap-lExcept now we have virtual merchants all over the globe22:06
jcastroand of course, .gov will overcompensate, which means it will now take 40 steps to buy stuff on amazon22:06
snap-land beancounters making sure they don't have enough folks to make stuff work22:06
jcastroor buy portal22:06
snap-ljcastro: It's not a .gov issue22:06
jcastroit will be22:06
snap-lremember when you could use a CC without the CCV?22:06
jcastroafter this22:06
jcastrothey'll just do a SoX equivalent for online stores22:07
snap-lThat was implemented by the banks22:07
jcastroand blam, higher prices.22:07
snap-ljcastro: I doubt it. Amazon will bitch22:07
snap-land Amazon pretty much drives the ecommerce conversation22:07
snap-lhttps://identi.ca/notice/72041132 <- Heh22:08
rick_h__I'm a sony hater so I'll just take my "hah! hah!" and go home22:08
snap-lI'm no fan of Sony's business practices, but I can feel for their admins22:08
rick_h__snap-l: meh, anyone think that would fix things? really?22:08
jcastrorick_h__: yeah Sony sucks.22:08
jcastroand see, bear's already started it.22:08
jcastrohere comes SoX part 2.22:08
jcastrowatch.22:08
snap-lhttp://identi.ca/notice/7204163822:09
snap-ljcastro: I can't see Congress doing stuff about this22:10
snap-lThey're too busy posturing over who will look good in the budget debates.22:10
jcastro"As of January 27, 2011, there are over 69 million registered PlayStation Network accounts worldwide."22:10
jcastrosure there will22:10
snap-lWell, I hope they don't, or eCommerce will grind to a halt.22:11
rick_h__ouch, 69million records of info22:12
rick_h__that's one pretty db22:12
snap-lgreg-g: http://eclipsephase.com/new-art-core-book-reprint22:32
snap-lThey're making the whole book CC licensed, instead of CC with some exceptions on artwork22:33
greg-gsnap-l: awesome!22:54
