snap-lgreg-g: Starting to notice more bands releasing their stuff SA03:57
snap-lMaybe there is something to the BY-NC-ND deprecation after all.03:57

rick_h_hm, havne't listened to anything like that recently. Closest would be in the plex (google)14:33

snap-lhttp://www.randomhouse.com/book/80240/the-hacker-ethic-by-pekka-himanen14:46
snap-ltjagoda: Frankly, most of the books that I could see being turned into audio books about OSS are the touchy-feely OSS books14:48
snap-lIf you're looking for something a little more in-depth, you'd be better served with an eBook reader.14:48
snap-land some headphones. :)14:48

brouschwhat does unity/gnome use for viewing PDFs?16:16
snap-levince16:17
snap-lOr at least it used to16:17
snap-lI think it still does, but haven't checked. :)16:18
brouschran into a new fun PDF that ghostscript pukes on16:18
brouschadobe reader, foxit reader, and okular render it fine16:19
brouschevince looks good too16:20
krondorpeople can do some funky things with PDFs, I once had one that was animated, which I was surprised even worked in okular.16:20
snap-lYeah, not sure how ghostscript handles layered PDFs16:20
brouschsnap-l: usually it's fine16:23
brouschwhich is why i've been using it to convert nasty PDFs to nicer formats16:23
brouschso now i need to look at what okular or evince use to do the rendering and see if i can adapt it to my needs16:24
krondorbrousch:  android dev; MIT App Inventor Open Beta http://bit.ly/wWu1Sg16:28
brouschfiled bugs against ghostscript PDF and mupdf. this should be fun16:32
brouschkrondor: yeah, i saw that this morning. haven't had a chance to look at it though :(16:33
brouschok, okular and evince both use poppler. now i'm getting somewhere  http://poppler.freedesktop.org/16:55
nixternalnice17:05
snap-lPHP 5.4 was released?17:29
krondoryep17:53

brouschhttp://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/03/06/1837245/x-server-now-available-for-android19:22
greg-gbrousch: ugh, unhelpfull19:34
brouschpoppler does what i need, so if need-be i can replace ghostscript19:45
snap-lhttp://i.imgur.com/HK3ER.jpg20:03
brouschthere. did fresh install of debian with an entirely different ghostscript version and it produced the same scrambled output20:41
snap-lAt least it's consistent.20:55
brouschyeah, i found it because we have a windows program that uses gs8.4, which is many years old. and it still exists on gs9.04 today20:56
krondorman its been a bit since I priced a new server, new proliantg8 has 24dimms? 768 GB/1U maximum ram. wow21:09

greg-gIN THE BRAIN!21:29
snap-lgreg-g: Why do you trust anything related with bitcoin? :)21:30
greg-gsnap-l: do I?21:30
greg-gI mean, dwolla is just a payment processor, like paypal or google or amazon.21:31
snap-lYeah, but they transfer stuff via bitcoin, afaict?21:31
greg-gdwolla? no.21:33
greg-gdwolla is just like paypal/amazon payments21:34
greg-gjust, better in that they don't charge as much21:34
greg-gdwolla had a bitcoin exchange using dwolla's service (just as kickstarter uses amazon)21:34
greg-gso, dwolla doesn't touch bitcoins, just other virtual money on servers (USD) ;)21:34
snap-lAh, OK21:34
