| schestowitz | "He’s [Microsoft lackey] promising more details of that platform in a later post. In the meantime it would appear unfortunate that while the data will be hosted on an open source platform individuals with an open source desktop are not going to be able to view it." http://blogs.the451group.com/o... | Mar 27 19:41 |
| wispygalaxy | digg is something i read for amusement nowadays, but the linux section is the only decent place | Mar 27 19:41 |

| schestowitz | Advocate to the extreme | Mar 27 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Right enough, he is more concerned about Microsoft's ethics | Mar 27 19:49 |

| MinceR | i know | Mar 27 20:05 |
| wispygalaxy | scrobbling is okay for non subscribers after march 30 still | Mar 27 20:05 |
| MinceR | but it does have some default strings, doesn't it? | Mar 27 20:05 |
| wispygalaxy | intel is so two faced | Mar 27 20:06 |
| schestowitz | Selfish | Mar 27 20:06 |

| schestowitz | Many games are played everywhere | Mar 27 20:21 |

| wispygalaxy | true | Mar 27 20:21 |
| trmanco | I've been to stadiums, soccer | Mar 27 20:22 |
| wispygalaxy | i never been to a professional soccer game | Mar 27 20:22 |
| trmanco | but not to a game, I don't like this sport | Mar 27 20:22 |
| trmanco | it's boring and corrupt | Mar 27 20:22 |
| trmanco | at least here where I live in | Mar 27 20:23 |
| wispygalaxy | it's more fun to play or watch? | Mar 27 20:23 |
| wispygalaxy | i prefer playing | Mar 27 20:23 |
| trmanco | watching is boring, and playing it is not my style | Mar 27 20:23 |
| wispygalaxy | so it's not your taste | Mar 27 20:24 |
| schestowitz | trmanco: it's tribal | Mar 27 20:24 |
| trmanco | I prefer extreme sport, something motorized or sea sports like surf of body board | Mar 27 20:24 |
| schestowitz | The thing is, local teams have many foreign palayer | Mar 27 20:24 |
| trmanco | true | Mar 27 20:24 |
| schestowitz | So even local pride doesn't come into *play* | Mar 27 20:24 |
| schestowitz | National teams may be another story | Mar 27 20:24 |
| wispygalaxy | the brazilian players are all over the world | Mar 27 20:24 |
| schestowitz | Though 11 people are not representative of a popultion | Mar 27 20:24 |
| trmanco | Manchester has one of the best of the world (player) if not the best | Mar 27 20:25 |
| wispygalaxy | small sample size roy haha | Mar 27 20:25 |
| schestowitz | Especially not if you assume that kicking a ball is indicative of a nation's might | Mar 27 20:25 |
| schestowitz | It's an oversimplification that suits many unwashed masses :-) | Mar 27 20:25 |
| wispygalaxy | i see manchester united games sometimes on TV | Mar 27 20:25 |
| trmanco | Ronaldo | Mar 27 20:25 |

| wispygalaxy | i remember seeing him at the world cup a couple years ago | Mar 27 20:26 |
| trmanco | I'm not really in to soccer so I'm not sure | Mar 27 20:26 |

| schestowitz | apropos: http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_te... ( New eco-surfboard hopes to catch wave of popularity ) | Mar 27 20:28 |
| wispygalaxy | thats a cute idea | Mar 27 20:28 |
| schestowitz | Think how much better for the environment when people do sports, unless they drive around to do it | Mar 27 20:28 |
| schestowitz | No lights, A/C, electricity.. | Mar 27 20:28 |
| wispygalaxy | biking is a good way to be eco friendly | Mar 27 20:29 |
| trmanco | I have roller blades | Mar 27 20:29 |
| wispygalaxy | i used to be so afraid of 2-wheelers when i was younger. i forced myself to learn, and im glad i did haha | Mar 27 20:29 |
| schestowitz | Humans never got wheels | Mar 27 20:29 |

| schestowitz | No animal has wheels | Mar 27 20:29 |
| wispygalaxy | roller blades are awesome | Mar 27 20:30 |

| wispygalaxy | i never had hand protection | Mar 27 20:31 |
| trmanco | can't lose my precious hands :-P | Mar 27 20:32 |
| schestowitz | Six Years Later, Iraqis Ready for the U.S. to Leave < Six Years Later, Iraqis Ready for the U.S. to Leave > | Mar 27 20:32 |
| wispygalaxy | yes i hate it when i cant use my hands, like when i have a bandage on a finer | Mar 27 20:32 |

| wispygalaxy | XD | Mar 27 20:35 |
| wispygalaxy | my dad designs power generators | Mar 27 20:35 |

| wispygalaxy | he has to climb through them too, to check his deisgn | Mar 27 20:36 |
| wispygalaxy | he gets dustry from that haha | Mar 27 20:36 |
| schestowitz | This is some bizarre -- if not sarcastic -- take from Jack Wallen: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/... | Mar 27 20:36 |
| trmanco | cool | Mar 27 20:36 |
| wispygalaxy | i guess so tony lol | Mar 27 20:36 |
| wispygalaxy | curiosity should be limited in a cubicle setting though | Mar 27 20:36 |

| schestowitz | I didn't read it carefully | Mar 27 20:40 |
| schestowitz | But it seems off coming from him... | Mar 27 20:40 |
| wispygalaxy | he's pro-linux i think | Mar 27 20:40 |
| schestowitz | Is the Food Industry Following Big Tobacco's Playbook? < http://www.prwatch.org/node/8285 >. How many people we know has the tobacco industry already killed? | Mar 27 20:41 |
| schestowitz | Isn't there a law for criminalising people in this industry? They lied deliberately, leading to death of many millions (my grandma included) | Mar 27 20:41 |
| wispygalaxy | genetic engineering on crops is a big issue | Mar 27 20:41 |
| wispygalaxy | what will happen to the people who consume it? | Mar 27 20:41 |
| schestowitz | wispygalaxy: yes, Wallen is OK | Mar 27 20:41 |
| wispygalaxy | will they mutate in 25 years? | Mar 27 20:42 |

| schestowitz | I don't use my microwave anymore, either. Microwaves are banned in Sweden | Mar 27 20:42 |
| wispygalaxy | my sister is doomed i guess haha | Mar 27 20:42 |
| schestowitz | They are always ahead of everyone those Swedes | Mar 27 20:42 |
| wispygalaxy | she has her cellphone within hand reach | Mar 27 20:42 |
| wispygalaxy | microwaves? really? | Mar 27 20:43 |
| schestowitz | Yes. | Mar 27 20:43 |
| wispygalaxy | unfortunately, sweden has issues with wiretapping | Mar 27 20:43 |
| schestowitz | I realised recently that also a friend's dad won't use it | Mar 27 20:43 |
| wispygalaxy | so he uses a skillet? | Mar 27 20:43 |
| schestowitz | The family has to lie to him if they cook using the microwave | Mar 27 20:43 |
| Balrog | are microwaves dangerous if used for heating non-food items? | Mar 27 20:43 |
| schestowitz | he's a medical doctor | Mar 27 20:43 |
| wispygalaxy | haha roy | Mar 27 20:43 |
| Balrog | yeah I know | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | Balrog: I heard about experiments | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | Boiling of water | Mar 27 20:44 |
| Balrog | the radiation is not the prime culprit here ... it's more of the uneven heating | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | People won't listen | Mar 27 20:44 |
| wispygalaxy | i showed you the furby microwave video a while age | Mar 27 20:44 |
| wispygalaxy | ago* | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | Once in a while there are denialists' studies. | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | People cling to those | Mar 27 20:44 |
| Balrog | (microwaves don't heat evenly ... this is WELL KNOWN) | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | They find shelter in what they /want/ to believe | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | Same with global warming. | Mar 27 20:44 |
| wispygalaxy | selective belief | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | The problem is allow peer-reviewed publication of the big lies | Mar 27 20:44 |
| schestowitz | You seed more | Mar 27 20:45 |
| schestowitz | By gicving them something to cite | Mar 27 20:45 |
| schestowitz | Let me find s/t | Mar 27 20:45 |

| wispygalaxy | wi-fi?! | Mar 27 20:46 |
| schestowitz | it's one thing to have antennas around (receiver end) but another to broadcast | Mar 27 20:46 |
| schestowitz | wispygalaxy: yes, some schools banned wi-fi | Mar 27 20:46 |

| wispygalaxy | my dad still had a tv that use the antenna, but we ditched it. he holds onto things, i tell ya | Mar 27 20:48 |
| schestowitz | Microwaves are fun too | Mar 27 20:48 |
| schestowitz | Convenience over health | Mar 27 20:48 |
| Balrog | TV with antennas are relatively safe | Mar 27 20:48 |

| schestowitz | They receive | Mar 27 20:48 |
| wispygalaxy | but he's involved with power stations | Mar 27 20:48 |
| schestowitz | They don't broadcast | Mar 27 20:49 |
| wispygalaxy | hence the name receiver | Mar 27 20:49 |
| wispygalaxy | hehe | Mar 27 20:49 |
| schestowitz | People now put antennas next to their eardrums | Mar 27 20:49 |
| Balrog | yes, you're right | Mar 27 20:49 |
| wispygalaxy | like bunny ears | Mar 27 20:49 |
| wispygalaxy | kinda | Mar 27 20:49 |
| Balrog | I hear that the power of bluetooth earphones is very low | Mar 27 20:49 |

| wispygalaxy | bluetooth for cellphone | Mar 27 20:50 |
| schestowitz | Excitation of people's important brain cells seems scary to me | Mar 27 20:50 |

| wispygalaxy | in some unintelligent people, they need that excitation, there usually is not activity up there anyway haha | Mar 27 20:51 |
| wispygalaxy | *is not much | Mar 27 20:51 |

| schestowitz | These days everything is more powerful | Mar 27 20:52 |
| Balrog | FRS radios (current generation walkie talkies) go to 500mW | Mar 27 20:52 |
| schestowitz | Nucear plant make loads more energy fro a population 3 times the szie as 100 years ago | Mar 27 20:52 |

| schestowitz | It's one of those 'secrets' about torture | Mar 27 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Why it's not effective | Mar 27 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Like patents | Mar 27 20:55 |
| schestowitz | "inventor... invention.. other BS..." | Mar 27 20:55 |
| wispygalaxy | yes true | Mar 27 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Rather than monopolisation and lawyers making cash from application and lawsuits | Mar 27 20:55 |
| wispygalaxy | but it gives lawyers a job, those patents :P | Mar 27 20:56 |
| schestowitz | Yes | Mar 27 20:56 |
| schestowitz | Like money gives bankers jobs | Mar 27 20:56 |

| schestowitz | bad debt | Mar 27 21:51 |
| schestowitz | But they lend, not borrow, AFAK | Mar 27 21:51 |
| wispygalaxy | will the US default? | Mar 27 21:51 |
| schestowitz | *AFAIK | Mar 27 21:51 |
| schestowitz | And soon enough Russia and China can drop the USD | Mar 27 21:52 |
| schestowitz | That could start a war (of words) | Mar 27 21:52 |
| PeterFA | schestowitz, no, M$ kicking it. | Mar 27 21:52 |
| wispygalaxy | will there be a shift to the euro | Mar 27 21:52 |
| schestowitz | It makes US a yesterday's nations | Mar 27 21:52 |
| schestowitz | Marganised to give way to new leadership | Mar 27 21:52 |
| wispygalaxy | i hope the us will be okay | Mar 27 21:52 |
| schestowitz | wispygalaxy: if GM, Citi and others die, then the value of the dollar is zilch | Mar 27 21:52 |
| wispygalaxy | didnt the dollar rise recently? | Mar 27 21:53 |
| schestowitz | Also, by doing the looting ("stimulus") they kill the value of the dollar | Mar 27 21:53 |
| schestowitz | They just print money | Mar 27 21:53 |
| wispygalaxy | yes, govt spending does that a lot | Mar 27 21:53 |
| wispygalaxy | thanks to the Fed :| | Mar 27 21:53 |
| schestowitz | PeterFA: MS kicking EVRYONE | Mar 27 21:53 |
| wispygalaxy | Keynes thought government spending solved all problems | Mar 27 21:53 |
| schestowitz | TomTom included | Mar 27 21:53 |
| wispygalaxy | owie | Mar 27 21:53 |
| schestowitz | Like a shouting baby in a rpam | Mar 27 21:54 |
| wispygalaxy | you mean pram? | Mar 27 21:54 |
| schestowitz | Ballmer through his toys out (chair) at Google years ago | Mar 27 21:54 |
| schestowitz | wispygalaxy: yes | Mar 27 21:54 |
| schestowitz | RPM :-) | Mar 27 21:54 |
| wispygalaxy | aww don't cry baby :D | Mar 27 21:54 |
| wispygalaxy | haha it looked like rpm | Mar 27 21:54 |
| schestowitz | ballmer-1.3.rpm | Mar 27 21:55 |
| schestowitz | Use alien to marry ballmer with Deb | Mar 27 21:55 |
| schestowitz | Ballmer it more like a SUE though | Mar 27 21:55 |
| wispygalaxy | deballmer | Mar 27 21:55 |
| schestowitz | because he's suing companies | Mar 27 21:55 |
| wispygalaxy | haha | Mar 27 21:55 |
| schestowitz | rm ballm* | Mar 27 21:55 |
| wispygalaxy | sudo rm ballm* | Mar 27 21:56 |
| wispygalaxy | ;) | Mar 27 21:56 |
| schestowitz | rm: remove write-protected regular file `ballmer-1.3.rpm? | Mar 27 21:56 |
| wispygalaxy | you unleash the devil that way | Mar 27 21:56 |
| schestowitz | emerge devils | Mar 27 21:57 |

| schestowitz | Here's one thing I don't get... | Mar 27 22:03 |
| schestowitz | Why is it that taps by convention are hot and cold separately in baths but not in kitchen sinks? | Mar 27 22:03 |
| schestowitz | When sense does that make? | Mar 27 22:03 |
| wispygalaxy | yeah that's weird | Mar 27 22:04 |
| schestowitz | Either you're too cold or burning your hands | Mar 27 22:04 |
| MinceR | we don't have separate hot and cold taps anywhere :> | Mar 27 22:04 |
| schestowitz | Another thing is the separate handles for hot and sold. Why? | Mar 27 22:04 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: in the UK it's convention | Mar 27 22:04 |
| wispygalaxy | in my dorm bathroom, the sink forces you to hold down the buttons to get water. it's annoying when you have to wash your face | Mar 27 22:04 |
| schestowitz | In baths | Mar 27 22:04 |
| MinceR | those silly brits | Mar 27 22:05 |
| schestowitz | PetoKraus would know.. | Mar 27 22:05 |
| PetoKraus | sorry? | Mar 27 22:05 |
| schestowitz | Cause he li... | Mar 27 22:05 |
| schestowitz | Well.. | Mar 27 22:05 |
| wispygalaxy | hi petokraus :) | Mar 27 22:05 |
| *PetoKraus is after 4 Bell's and a game of squash | Mar 27 22:05 | |
| schestowitz | PetoKraus: in Slovakia, do you have separate for hot and cold? | Mar 27 22:05 |
| PetoKraus | taps? | Mar 27 22:06 |
| schestowitz | Yes | Mar 27 22:06 |
| wispygalaxy | at the sink | Mar 27 22:06 |
| PetoKraus | can i be rude? | Mar 27 22:06 |
| wispygalaxy | how was the game petokraus | Mar 27 22:06 |
| wispygalaxy | go ahead haha | Mar 27 22:06 |
| PetoKraus | fuck no! | Mar 27 22:06 |
| wispygalaxy | i do here :( | Mar 27 22:06 |
| MinceR | thankfully, 1-armed taps are fairly common here :) | Mar 27 22:06 |
| wispygalaxy | thats a relief | Mar 27 22:07 |
| PetoKraus | well one-armed tap is something different | Mar 27 22:07 |
| PetoKraus | it's better than two taps on one pipe, as you can set the temperature by rotational movement and then just set the stream strength by vertical one | Mar 27 22:08 |
| PetoKraus | but two taps two pipes are retarded | Mar 27 22:08 |
| PetoKraus | it's cure for hangover | Mar 27 22:08 |
| MinceR | i think those were designed for mixing water in the sink | Mar 27 22:09 |
| MinceR | or tub | Mar 27 22:09 |
| MinceR | still, it's a limiting design | Mar 27 22:09 |
| PetoKraus | how? | Mar 27 22:09 |
| wispygalaxy | we should be given more choice with tubs and sinks haha, see how unhappy limiting design makes us? | Mar 27 22:10 |
| PetoKraus | well | Mar 27 22:11 |
| PetoKraus | i would say the choice is there | Mar 27 22:11 |
| PetoKraus | it's the money which are the limiting factor | Mar 27 22:11 |
| PetoKraus | i mean, if i would have €£1000 to spare | Mar 27 22:11 |
| PetoKraus | it would disappear like whoosh | Mar 27 22:11 |
| PetoKraus | :) | Mar 27 22:11 |
| wispygalaxy | lol :) | Mar 27 22:11 |
| wispygalaxy | the cool thing that when it comes to choice and customizing linux, you don't need all that money | Mar 27 22:12 |
| PetoKraus | the problem is, that linux isn't everything, unfortunately | Mar 27 22:12 |
| wispygalaxy | that's a huge advantage, and you dont need to pay extra for upgrades and new toys | Mar 27 22:13 |
| wispygalaxy | coders are human too, yes. there can never be perfect software i guess | Mar 27 22:13 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: the sinks are also useful for washing hands, brushing teeth, shaving, etc. | Mar 27 22:13 |
| schestowitz | So it makes no sense to have two separate taps for hot and cold | Mar 27 22:14 |
| schestowitz | Firefox is not Free Software < http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2009... > | Mar 27 22:14 |
| schestowitz | Neither is Opera, so.... | Mar 27 22:14 |
| MinceR | i know, but i think that was the original intent | Mar 27 22:15 |
| wispygalaxy | yeah when you install extensions or themes in firefox, you have to accept some agreements before installing | Mar 27 22:15 |
| wispygalaxy | from the guy/gal who made it | Mar 27 22:15 |
| wispygalaxy | firefox is faster than Opera to me | Mar 27 22:15 |
| PetoKraus | i'd love to use something different than firefoz | Mar 27 22:15 |
| wispygalaxy | opera uses too much RAM | Mar 27 22:15 |
| PetoKraus | *x | Mar 27 22:15 |
| PetoKraus | i think i'll wait for ffx 3.5 | Mar 27 22:16 |
| wispygalaxy | i have konqueror | Mar 27 22:16 |
| PetoKraus | if it doesn't impress me, i'll go for Epiphany + Webkit, i guess | Mar 27 22:16 |
| PetoKraus | i just hate how slow it can be at times. I mean, i want to type in the address bar | Mar 27 22:16 |
| PetoKraus | and the system locks up for 3-4 seconds | Mar 27 22:16 |
| PetoKraus | come in! | Mar 27 22:16 |
| PetoKraus | *On | Mar 27 22:16 |
| PetoKraus | wispygalaxy: the game was good, thank you | Mar 27 22:17 |
| wispygalaxy | do you clear your history, cookies, etc, petokraus? | Mar 27 22:17 |
| schestowitz | One angry man hates Firefox? Epiphany is my new web browser, goodbye Firefox! < http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2009... > | Mar 27 22:17 |
| PetoKraus | especially because i'm supposed to be the less skilled player and i won 3:2 | Mar 27 22:17 |
| PetoKraus | wispygalaxy: no | Mar 27 22:17 |
| wispygalaxy | cool petokraus, good luck with the game in the future | Mar 27 22:18 |
| wispygalaxy | i forget to clear mine too | Mar 27 22:18 |
| PetoKraus | yeah | Mar 27 22:18 |
| PetoKraus | the term is over so | Mar 27 22:18 |
| PetoKraus | i'll do more interesting stuff now | Mar 27 22:18 |
| wispygalaxy | i just did today, and my iceweasel is so much faster | Mar 27 22:18 |
| PetoKraus | at least until 2nd of april :) That's when i'll start looking for a job :/ | Mar 27 22:18 |
| wispygalaxy | your term is over?! lucky.. | Mar 27 22:18 |
| PetoKraus | yeah, scotland :) | Mar 27 22:18 |
