Kilos | Biggest international tech stories of 2014 | 07:49 |
Kilos | The e-commerce space has a new heavyweight challenger, while the world's biggest Internet company is starting to feel the heat in Europe – these are just a couple of the big stories to emerge in 2014. | 07:49 |
Kilos | I don't care that The Pirate Bay is down: co-founder | 07:49 |
Kilos | The Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde said that The Pirate Bay had lost its soul, and that he does not care that the website was taken down | 07:49 |
Kilos | what soul can a site have? | 07:52 |
gremble | The same way that any enterprise can have a mission statement, an interpreted understanding what it is doing and why it is doing it | 07:55 |
Kilos | ok so what was lost | 07:56 |
Kilos | was it abused or no donations made | 07:56 |
gremble | PirateBay was apparently created for the dissemination of information, books, movies, etc | 07:57 |
gremble | But it turned more into an advertising platform with very dubious ads. Sunde did not like that | 07:57 |
Kilos | aha ty for the explanation | 07:58 |
gremble | It made the criminality of the enterprise more glamarous than the point of sharing like a massive library | 07:58 |
Kilos | ah that makes sense then | 07:58 |
Kilos | glamorous | 08:00 |
Kilos | our spelling bot is away | 08:01 |
Kilos | spell checker | 08:01 |
Kilos | at one time he had time to help everyone with spelling, then life took over | 08:01 |
Kilos | gremble: explain what is ibids prob with python3 | 08:03 |
Kilos | is there no software that can fix that? | 08:03 |
Kilos | that backwards thing | 08:04 |
gremble | People like to see the "human-ness" in things that we make. They way some people refer to a car as a "she" or we say that the laptop has "died" etc | 08:09 |
gremble | #philosophyfortheday | 08:09 |
Kilos | backwards compatability | 08:10 |
Kilos | what is that? | 08:10 |
Kilos | i clicked it and it opened another channel hehe | 08:11 |
gremble | There was python 3 changed the way some of the parts of the python language works | 08:29 |
gremble | No there was, sorry | 08:29 |
gremble | Those changes are incompatible with the way that python 2.7 works | 08:29 |
gremble | Meaning 2.7 code can't run in 3 and 3 code can't run in 2.7 | 08:30 |
Kilos | eish | 08:30 |
Kilos | hi magespawn | 09:50 |
magespawn | good afternoon | 09:50 |
Kilos | lol | 09:51 |
Kilos | allmost | 09:51 |
Kilos | almost too | 09:51 |
magespawn | close enough for me | 09:53 |
Kilos | hehe | 09:57 |
Kilos | oh my | 10:02 |
Kilos | magespawn: why does your isp keep changing? router? | 10:42 |
magespawn | no it should not | 11:27 |
magespawn | maybe because i just connected without doing anything | 11:27 |
Kilos | hmm... | 11:30 |
magespawn | i am connected through my phone, so it might be the signal, | 11:33 |
Kilos | aha | 11:34 |
Kilos | you use tor hey? | 11:34 |
Kilos | http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sjg365 | 11:34 |
Kilos | they were also attacked | 11:34 |
magespawn | sometimes | 11:34 |
Kilos | these crackers should be given hard labour | 11:36 |
Kilos | or maybe just shot and buried | 11:36 |
magespawn | there has also been some talk about being able to identify tor users if you control the node they exit through | 11:36 |
magespawn | i think the education is key | 11:36 |
Kilos | im really stupid i think, i have seen anything on the net id like to attack for the fun of it | 11:38 |
Kilos | havent | 11:38 |
Kilos | i dont understand that mentality | 11:38 |
Kilos | i can understand (but dont condone) bank robbers and other thieves | 11:40 |
Kilos | but what do crackers get out of it | 11:40 |
magespawn | the fun of being able to say that they have done something | 12:41 |
magespawn | or in is some cases they do it for money or to achieve some political goal | 12:53 |
Kilos | that maybe i can understand | 13:01 |
Kilos | the greed factor | 13:01 |

theblazehen_ | eff Android.. http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/2014-07-18_SailfishOSHardwareAdaptationDevelopmentKit.pdf Challenge accepted! | 13:43 |
gremble | :P | 13:49 |
theblazehen_ | gremble: you ever try sailfish OS? | 13:51 |
gremble | Nope | 13:53 |
gremble | Only heard about it | 13:53 |
theblazehen_ | yeah. I really like the look of it. | 13:53 |
theblazehen_ | I don't like the amount of "TODO" in the porting guide, however :( | 13:53 |
gremble | The problem is getting a phone that will play along | 13:54 |
theblazehen_ | Seems like it uses cyanogenmod drivers | 13:55 |
theblazehen_ | So as long as your phone runs CM10 it *should* work | 13:55 |
theblazehen_ | hi bushtech | 13:55 |
magespawn | hi all | 13:56 |
theblazehen_ | hi magespawn | 13:56 |
magespawn | they say sailfish is built om meego | 13:58 |
magespawn | i wonder if i can just load it straight on to the n900? | 13:58 |
theblazehen_ | magespawn: They have builds for the Nexus 4 | 13:59 |
theblazehen_ | you hear about the neo900 project? | 13:59 |
theblazehen_ | Newer hardware, same OS | 14:00 |
theblazehen_ | meaemo or meego or whichever one it is | 14:00 |
magespawn | i like the idea of being able to run what ever i want, i did have android running on my n900 for a bit | 14:02 |
theblazehen_ | magespawn: hah. You still have it? | 14:02 |
magespawn | sitting right in front of me, not my daily phone, but it is still useful | 14:03 |
theblazehen_ | ah, kk. Running maemo on it now, or what? | 14:03 |
theblazehen_ | I wish they still made good phones with proper keyboards :/ | 14:03 |
magespawn | yup i reverted it back, the android was a dual boot from the memory card | 14:04 |
theblazehen_ | ah | 14:05 |
magespawn | it had issues with the hardware, somethings worked but not well and others did not work at all | 14:07 |
theblazehen_ | yeah | 14:07 |
theblazehen_ | Oh man.. I have more free RAM than free disk space... | 14:09 |
theblazehen_ | 22 GB free vs 6.4 GB free... | 14:09 |
magespawn | oops | 14:09 |
theblazehen_ | Time for a ramdisk! | 14:10 |
magespawn | that is just wrong, i do not have that much ram if i add all of my computers together | 14:10 |
theblazehen_ | magespawn: I have 32 GB of DDR3 and 2(used to be 3) GB of DDR2 and 256 MB PC-133 | 14:10 |
theblazehen_ | I used to run lots of virtual machines.. | 14:11 |
theblazehen_ | One of my PC's has 3 NIC's plus the onboard.. | 14:11 |
magespawn | i remember seeing a pci card that could take ram to work as a hard drive | 14:12 |
theblazehen_ | yeah. | 14:12 |
theblazehen_ | I see some PCIe SSDs now... | 14:13 |
theblazehen_ | up to 16 TB ?! | 14:13 |
magespawn | now that would be somewhat fast | 14:13 |
theblazehen_ | magespawn900: Phone? | 14:14 |
theblazehen_ | magespawn900: somewhat?! | 14:14 |
theblazehen_ | lemme get the specs.. | 14:14 |
magespawn | yup from the phone | 14:14 |
theblazehen_ | I saw that when I looked at the wikipedia page for IOPS.. | 14:14 |
magespawn | i am betting the cost would be up there with the space station | 14:15 |
theblazehen_ | heh, yeah... | 14:15 |
theblazehen_ | one day.. | 14:15 |
theblazehen_ | http://www.fusionio.com/products/iodrive2 not the 16 TB, but check that out.. | 14:16 |
magespawn | and they specifically list linux as supported | 14:18 |
theblazehen_ | magespawn900: heh, of course.. | 14:18 |
theblazehen_ | Probably used for high performance databases.. | 14:18 |
theblazehen_ | effing tab complete... | 14:19 |
theblazehen_ | Goes to your 900 nick :/ | 14:19 |
magespawn | lol | 14:19 |
theblazehen_ | Heh, I love chiptunes.. Always references to other artists and stuff.. | 14:19 |

theblazehen_ | magespawn: yeah, 2 | 16:16 |
theblazehen_ | magespawn: one using the normal VGA connector, and one WAS using the adapter | 16:16 |
theblazehen_ | Wonder if I should just buy a cheap GPU? | 16:16 |
magespawn | i see. time for a new screen? does it make a difference if it is hdmi all the way through? | 16:17 |
theblazehen_ | " At least 4 GiB of RAM (the more the better" I knew 24 GB in one PC was a good idea.. | 16:17 |
theblazehen_ | magespawn: got 2nd one for xmas.. HDMI all the way through? | 16:18 |
magespawn | with out the vga adaptor? | 16:18 |
magespawn | as in do you see a difference because of the adapter? | 16:19 |
theblazehen_ | ah, dunno, only the TV has a HDMI connection.. | 16:19 |
theblazehen_ | But I tested the adapter in other PC's, doesn't work | 16:19 |
theblazehen_ | hi bushtech | 16:32 |
gremble | I think the HDMI connectors have more available bandwidth for the high definition screens | 16:39 |

theblazehen_ | gremble: ouch :( | 17:23 |
gremble | I would like to say something to the lines of, "People have no ethics these days" but that would imply that I could name a date where people did not lie and steal from one another | 17:25 |
gremble | How do I see the size of a folder in the commandline? :x | 17:25 |
theblazehen_ | gremble: du -sh $folder | 17:26 |
