cubezzzthey are thievesNov 29 00:00
yuhongTo be honest, what helped was that it was tied to a piece of hardware.Nov 29 00:00
yuhongIf it was bought with that piece of HW, the price of Altair BASIC was low, otherwise it was highNov 29 00:00

yuhongUnfortuately, that piece of HW had many problem, and the price of the the software without that piece of HW had to be dropped.Nov 29 00:02
yuhongBTW, if you are wondering what that piece of HW was and what problem it had, hold on, it will take a while to describe.Nov 29 00:03
cubezzzwe are (almost) under the control of big corporationsNov 29 00:03
yuhongAnyone remember the S-100 bus.Nov 29 00:03
yuhongI know.Nov 29 00:03
cubezzzyes :)Nov 29 00:03
yuhongAnyone remember the S-100 bus.Nov 29 00:03
cubezzzI know about S-100Nov 29 00:03
yuhongIt originated in the Altair.Nov 29 00:03
yuhongBack in 1975, made by Ed Roberts.Nov 29 00:04
cubezzzI'm not positive, but I don't think Commodore used S-100 busNov 29 00:05
cubezzzis MITS still in business?Nov 29 00:06
yuhongThat piece of HW was a 4K DRAM card for the S-100 bus made by Altair.Nov 29 00:06
yuhongNo, it was sold to Pertec.Nov 29 00:06

yuhongFor the 1K card, yes.Nov 29 00:10
cubezzz1K yeahNov 29 00:10
cubezzzlike the KIM-1Nov 29 00:10
yuhongThe 4K card used DRAM, and that was where the troubles came in.Nov 29 00:11
cubezzzwhat was the problem?Nov 29 00:11

yuhongDRAM S-100 cards were troublesome in the early days.Nov 29 00:22
*Ender2070 has quit ("Konversation terminated!")Nov 29 00:22
cubezzzI just wanted to see cspan on Linux :)Nov 29 00:22
yuhongCompuPro for example was vocal about only using SRAM cards for this bus.Nov 29 00:22
yuhongPart of it was the memory refresh.Nov 29 00:23
*ender2070 (n=ender207@bas3-toronto63-1096719419.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #boycottnovellNov 29 00:24
yuhongBecause of the troubles, other vendors made 4K SRAM cards.Nov 29 00:25
cubezzzyou need to watch those Ampersands Nov 29 00:25
cubezzzSRAM ftwNov 29 00:25
yuhongThat had less trouble, but  then Altair BASIC was far more expensive (something like $80 vs $500)Nov 29 00:26
cubezzzwhat am I downloading schestowitz? :)Nov 29 00:26
yuhongEd Roberts later had to reduce the $500 to $200.Nov 29 00:27
yuhongBecause of the troubles.Nov 29 00:27
cubezzzyeah the first thing I noticed was the TRS-80 Model 1Nov 29 00:28
cubezzzor the Commodore PET, maybeNov 29 00:28

*cubezzz blinksNov 29 00:35
yuhongWhat was particularly sad about this episode was that back in 1980, IBM was the evil giant.Nov 29 00:35
cubezzzI remember 1980 :)Nov 29 00:36
cubezzzthe time of Commodore PETs, Apple II, and TRS-80 Model 1Nov 29 00:37
cubezzzand mini-computersNov 29 00:37
cubezzzKIM-1 was relatively cheapNov 29 00:38
yuhongIBM inadvertently helped MS became a monopoly by choosing it for the IBM PC.Nov 29 00:38
cubezzztoo bad I never got oneNov 29 00:38
yuhongWhat was really sad was why IBM ended up having to do this, discussed above.Nov 29 00:39

cubezzzyuhong, the bad time or dark ages is overNov 29 00:39
yuhongWhat do you mean?Nov 29 00:39
oiaohmDos was cheeper than anything else in the OS market at the time IBM was making the XT.Nov 29 00:40
cubezzzwe have cheap computers, Free OS, Free BIOSesNov 29 00:40
yuhongI know.Nov 29 00:40
oiaohmIBM never had any idea the XT would even sell large numbers.Nov 29 00:40
yuhongYea, that helped.Nov 29 00:40
oiaohmReason why MS fears Linux so much is that is cheaper than them.Nov 29 00:40
yuhongIt was more than just costs.Nov 29 00:40
cubezzzand that you can download the source code :)Nov 29 00:41
oiaohmNo ibm paperwork over them taking up Dos was pure costs yuhongNov 29 00:41
cubezzzextrapolate into the future... what will happen?Nov 29 00:41
oiaohmIbm did not even bother making MS execusive.Nov 29 00:41
yuhongYep.Nov 29 00:41
yuhongNot just costs, though it helped.Nov 29 00:41
cubezzzbelieve me, IBM does not like MicrosoftNov 29 00:42
oiaohmDos was a rough clone of CP/M yuhongNov 29 00:42
yuhongYep.Nov 29 00:42
oiaohmYes a really rough clone.Nov 29 00:42
yuhongBut I already discussed that incident above.Nov 29 00:42
cubezzzgenie is out of the bottle now, no going backNov 29 00:42
oiaohmIbm had the idea of selling CP/M as the main OS.Nov 29 00:42
oiaohmIf what IBM had planed had worked the world would have been a lot better place.Nov 29 00:42
yuhongExactly. I already discussed that story above. Nov 29 00:43
oiaohmBut mice and men apply.Nov 29 00:43
oiaohmIBM was one of the first major supporters of Linux in the hardware world.Nov 29 00:43
yuhongAnd SCP sold that clone to MS.Nov 29 00:43
cubezzzseems idiotic now :)Nov 29 00:43
oiaohmIBM hates MS really.Nov 29 00:43
oiaohmSun also hates MS.Nov 29 00:43
oiaohmMS double crossed there major supporters.Nov 29 00:44
yuhongYep, the JDA was broken in 1991.Nov 29 00:44
cubezzzthe gloves are off nowNov 29 00:44
oiaohmWe are not at war yet.Nov 29 00:44
cubezzzif they were over on :)Nov 29 00:44
yuhongAnd IBM ended up going their own way with PC-DOS and OS/Nov 29 00:44
oiaohmIts only the warm up.Nov 29 00:45
oiaohmPC-DOS is MS DOS yuhongNov 29 00:45
cubezzzwar is over, Microsoft will loseNov 29 00:45

oiaohmNot exactly yet. cubezzzNov 29 00:45
yuhongYep, was MS-DOS.Nov 29 00:45
oiaohmReactos vs Linux is still to come.Nov 29 00:45

ender2070lolNov 29 00:46
oiaohmWhat about the Windows Community.Nov 29 00:46
ender2070they'll use windowsNov 29 00:46
cubezzzoiaohm, perhaps Nov 29 00:46
oiaohmReactos at this stage a highly unstable version of windows ender2070Nov 29 00:47
yuhongThe story seem to have scrolled off.Nov 29 00:47
*magentar has quit (Remote closed the connection)Nov 29 00:47

oiaohmCheepest wins in the end.  Nov 29 00:48

ender2070MinceR - I look at the actions the world actually takes, they are using global warming as an excuse to be more totaltarian. instead of putting sanctions on china and other countries that are poluting the world to death.Nov 29 01:42

ender2070cubezzz - my multi meter says otherwiseNov 29 01:44
cubezzzah well thenNov 29 01:44
schestowitzPer capita they are not big polluterNov 29 01:44
MinceRperhaps they've reduced the CO2 output of the manufacturing process?Nov 29 01:44

ender2070"we're green buy us", meanwhile their competitor doesnt claim green but has better fabsNov 29 01:47
MinceRit's entirely possible that the "green" label is not regulated or not properly regulatedNov 29 01:48
MinceRand is thus meaningless in many casesNov 29 01:48

schestowitzWhy?Nov 29 01:55
schestowitzPoor regulationNov 29 01:56
schestowitzNo minimum wageNov 29 01:56
ender2070its all made in china because its cheaper there, and its cheaper there because nobody cares about the environment so they dont have regulationNov 29 01:56
schestowitzOr small thresholdNov 29 01:56
schestowitzAnd no environmental regulationNov 29 01:56

DaemonFCthe DVD players that do that start around $35, and the Blu Ray players start around $128Nov 29 05:17
ender2070best ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdq4Llr-K-sNov 29 05:17
DaemonFCI'll probably just get a HDMI hookup and let my XBOX 360 be my upconversion DVD playerNov 29 05:17
DaemonFCthe Monster Cable HDMI cable for the 360 is actually cheaper than the Microsoft one by $10Nov 29 05:19
DaemonFCthat's the first time I've seen Monster cables look like a bargainNov 29 05:19
ender2070yeah reallyNov 29 05:26
ender2070usually they are a monster rip offNov 29 05:26
DaemonFCender2070: They sell those cables at WalmartNov 29 05:27
DaemonFCan HDMI cale should run no more than $30Nov 29 05:27
DaemonFCMonster sells them for $80Nov 29 05:27
ender2070$14.99Nov 29 05:27
DaemonFC*cableNov 29 05:27
DaemonFCender2070: a shielded one?Nov 29 05:27
DaemonFCabout 6-8 feetNov 29 05:27
DaemonFCabout $30Nov 29 05:28
DaemonFCthe cables cost as much as some upscaling DVD playersNov 29 05:28

ender2070i was thinking hdmi 1.0 which is cheaperNov 29 05:29
DaemonFCI found a player for $29 on Walmart's siteNov 29 05:29
DaemonFCI don't know that the upscaling would do a lot for a DVD. Would it?Nov 29 05:29
DaemonFCI mean it's just stretching the imageNov 29 05:29
ender2070think about expanding a 640x480 wallpaper to 1024x768Nov 29 05:30
ender2070same ideaNov 29 05:30
ender2070hdmi is kind of a waste of money atm anywaysNov 29 05:30
DaemonFCI'm sure the DVD player does smooth the image and such, right?Nov 29 05:31
ender2070it'll still look like shit on your hd tvNov 29 05:31
ender2070what brand tv do you haveNov 29 05:31
DaemonFCEmersonNov 29 05:32
DaemonFCit surprised me actuallyNov 29 05:32
DaemonFCI thought the bargain basement TV might have a lousy picture or bad speakers or somethingNov 29 05:33
DaemonFCit does as well as sets that cost a lot moreNov 29 05:33
DaemonFCall this stuff comes off the same lines anywayNov 29 05:33
ender2070is it refurbished?Nov 29 05:33
DaemonFCthere's not as much brand difference as there once wasNov 29 05:33
DaemonFCnopeNov 29 05:34
DaemonFCnewNov 29 05:34
ender2070wowNov 29 05:34
ender2070thats pretty good for emerson, you're luckyNov 29 05:34
DaemonFCI got it as a Walmart loss leader on Friday's saleNov 29 05:34
ender2070the screens are designed by only a few companiesNov 29 05:34
DaemonFCpeople were lined up across the store for 44 TV setsNov 29 05:34
ender2070last I heard there were 3 companys that made themNov 29 05:34
DaemonFCand I got mine B-)Nov 29 05:34
ender2070well as long as it works, you got a good dealNov 29 05:35
ender2070one of the places I used to work at had mountains of refurbished emerson productsNov 29 05:35
DaemonFCthey sold them for $248 and after the sale, Walmart.com put them back up for $318Nov 29 05:36

DaemonFCthe biggest difference between this and the $400 Samsung is probably the softwareNov 29 05:38
DaemonFCthe Walmart here doesn't have any 32" sets under $399 nowNov 29 05:39
DaemonFCso I wasn't about to pay that for a television, but I didn't want to get stuck with some dinky little 19" display which is what you normally get on $250Nov 29 05:39

ender2070heheNov 29 05:44
ender2070mine is light, its a newer oneNov 29 05:44
DaemonFCit weighs 101 poundsNov 29 05:44
ender2070i have component, composite and coaxialNov 29 05:45
DaemonFCender2070: Well, at the time (2004), Kmart had it for like $198 for Black FridayNov 29 05:45
ender2070i got mine used from a friendNov 29 05:45
ender2070they upgraded to an hdtvNov 29 05:45
DaemonFCI just wanted an HD display and didn't really understand a lot about themNov 29 05:45
DaemonFCmistakes I did not repeat this timeNov 29 05:46
ender2070not much makes use of HD yetNov 29 05:46
DaemonFCthe CRT one has no HD tuner and no HDMI or DVINov 29 05:46
ender2070the only thing I own thats hdmi is my laptop and desktopNov 29 05:46
ender2070thats all I could hook up to itNov 29 05:46
DaemonFCit's also a 4:3 and not a 16:10, so the XBOX 360 output at 1080i (widescreen resolution) looks warpedNov 29 05:46
DaemonFCthis Emerson set I have now only tells you it does 720p, but it also does 1080iNov 29 05:47
DaemonFCthey don't have that listed on the box, it's on page 34 of the manualNov 29 05:47
DaemonFCand I tested that out with my 360Nov 29 05:47
ender2070once im done paying my dell lease I might order a tv from themNov 29 05:47
DaemonFCYes, I read the manualNov 29 05:48
DaemonFC:)Nov 29 05:48
ender2070i want to hook my laptop up to a tv with hdmi and run boxeeNov 29 05:48
DaemonFCsaves a lot of time and trouble later when the TV is doing something strange and you don't know how to make it stopNov 29 05:48
ender2070i have a media center right now running xbmc for linuxNov 29 05:48
DaemonFCand by that time, you may well have lost the manual as well...Nov 29 05:48
DaemonFCyeah, I used DVI to hook the TV up as my computer monitor brieflyNov 29 05:49
DaemonFCjust cause I wanted to see how it workedNov 29 05:49
ender2070my laptop has real hdmiNov 29 05:50
ender2070not dviNov 29 05:50
DaemonFCmy video card has VGA, DVI, and HDMI capabilitiesNov 29 05:50
DaemonFCI just don't have a HDMI cableNov 29 05:50
ender2070the cables are such a rip offNov 29 05:50
ender2070im not sure you even have to worry about shieldingNov 29 05:51
ender2070its digital cableNov 29 05:51
DaemonFCthe only things HDMI does that DVI doesn't is HDCP for Blu Ray copy protection, and audioNov 29 05:51
DaemonFCright?Nov 29 05:51
DaemonFCthat's not real important to meNov 29 05:51
DaemonFCon the PCNov 29 05:51
ender2070DVI does HDCPNov 29 05:51
ender2070not audioNov 29 05:51
ender2070the audio is the additionNov 29 05:51
DaemonFCohNov 29 05:51
ender2070my pc monitor has hdcpNov 29 05:51
ender2070hdcp is stupidNov 29 05:51
DaemonFCso since my GPU and my monitor are both HDCP compliant, I could watch full resolution Blu Ray discs if I buy I drive?Nov 29 05:52
ender2070if I use the nvidia driver and unplug my monitor for any reason, i have to reboot the pcNov 29 05:52
DaemonFCover DVI?Nov 29 05:52
ender2070yes daemonNov 29 05:52
DaemonFChooray!Nov 29 05:52
DaemonFCno expensive cables and bullshitNov 29 05:52
DaemonFCB-)Nov 29 05:52
ender2070you'll still need hdmi if you want to output to your tvNov 29 05:52
DaemonFCthat's the turnoff, buying a player and then still needing a $30 cableNov 29 05:53
ender2070its stupidNov 29 05:53
ender2070cause they think people will steal movies that wayNov 29 05:53
DaemonFCit's even more of an insult if you get a cheapo upscaling DVD player and the cable is more expensive than the DVD playerNov 29 05:53
ender2070people steal the movies anyways bypassing hdcp completelyNov 29 05:53
DaemonFCpeople already dump DVDs to their hard driveNov 29 05:53
DaemonFCwhy do they care that the image has been stretched?Nov 29 05:54
DaemonFCI don't think it would make the picture that much betterNov 29 05:54
ender2070stretched looks like shitNov 29 05:54
ender2070you'll see a sort of graininessNov 29 05:54
DaemonFCender2070: I rented some DVDs last night to watch on the new TVNov 29 05:54
DaemonFCplayed them at 480P over component with the 360Nov 29 05:55

ender2070watch something hi def on itNov 29 05:55
ender2070and the dvd will make you scratch your eyes outNov 29 05:55
DaemonFCender2070: The only HD videos I've seen are in VC-1 format as part of XBOX 360 gamesNov 29 05:55
DaemonFCit does look beautiful thoughNov 29 05:56
DaemonFCshame Comcast has no HD programmingNov 29 05:56
ender2070i think you can get some BBC hidef videos for freeNov 29 05:56
DaemonFCwe don't get BBC here unless we take the Digital Classic packageNov 29 05:56
DaemonFCI'm on Digital StarterNov 29 05:56
DaemonFCI'm on a $20 a month deal for this package that doesn't expire til AugustNov 29 05:57
ender2070unfortunately most of my friends have to steal hidef stuff just so they can make their tv usefullNov 29 05:57
DaemonFCafter that expires, I'll probably see what their promo is for a better packageNov 29 05:58
ender2070my best friend had some blueray rip that was the size of a dvd (4.7gbish)Nov 29 05:58
DaemonFCif I can get like 1 year at $30 for another 50 channels, I'll do thatNov 29 05:58
DaemonFCI'm just moving between plans to get promotional pricesNov 29 05:59
DaemonFCB-)Nov 29 05:59
ender2070i gave up on tvNov 29 05:59
DaemonFCmy promo on Digital Classic ran out so I bumped back to StarterNov 29 05:59
DaemonFCso in August I'll probably do whatever comes after ClassicNov 29 05:59
DaemonFCthat's probably where you start getting all the movie channelsNov 29 05:59
cubezzzfedora 11Nov 29 06:00
DaemonFCright now all I get for movie channels is the Encore lineupNov 29 06:00
DaemonFCall the "classic" movie channels like Turner and AMCNov 29 06:00
DaemonFCI finally ended up watching Casablanca last night while eating dinnerNov 29 06:01
DaemonFCI get all the religious channels, but they pay Comcast to carry themNov 29 06:02
DaemonFCI blocked them out with Parental Controls so I don't ever have to listen to it by mistakeNov 29 06:02
DaemonFCender2070:  I had HBO, and Showtime but I don't want to pay $30 a month more to watch movies from 1978 on a loopNov 29 06:04
DaemonFCI can rent some first run DVDs out of the redbox machine for $1 perNov 29 06:04
DaemonFCEncore is getting worse about thatNov 29 06:06
DaemonFCplaying The Terminator every single day is their latest one :PNov 29 06:07
DaemonFCI might ditch them too Nov 29 06:07

cubezzzender2070, this looks like mostly movie trailersNov 29 06:26
ender2070its all a giant money grab atmNov 29 06:26
DaemonFCso I'm going to have to use a splitter to hook up a coaxial cable to the TVNov 29 06:26
DaemonFCand one to the boxNov 29 06:26
DaemonFCelse I get to pay them $15 a month for an "HD" boxNov 29 06:26
ender2070cubezzz - the movies are likely trailers, the tv shows arentNov 29 06:26
DaemonFCender2070: Is that what I should do?Nov 29 06:27
DaemonFC3 way splitter or pay them more for the new box?Nov 29 06:27
DaemonFCthat's how I have it figured outNov 29 06:27
ender2070you need the boxNov 29 06:27
DaemonFCnopeNov 29 06:27
ender2070it decodes it for youNov 29 06:27
DaemonFCmy TV has the ATSC tuner, right? The "digital" box doesn'tNov 29 06:27
ender2070ohNov 29 06:28
DaemonFCyou can get all 5 channels without the box, but the box would not be able to tune in to themNov 29 06:28
DaemonFCthe TV wouldNov 29 06:28
DaemonFCget what I'm saying?Nov 29 06:28
ender2070sort ofNov 29 06:28
DaemonFCthe box only has an NTSC tunerNov 29 06:28
ender2070here the box is required because rogers uses encryption iircNov 29 06:28
DaemonFCso I would need a coaxial cable straight to the TV to get those channels in HD without paying $15 a month more for the box with the ATSC tunerNov 29 06:29
DaemonFCthe splitter is probably only $2-3Nov 29 06:29
DaemonFConceNov 29 06:29
ender2070im not sure if that will actually work for youNov 29 06:29
DaemonFCI have the box hooked up through composite cablesNov 29 06:30
DaemonFCso I should be able to flip back to coaxial input to get the HD channelsNov 29 06:30
ender2070you'll have to figure that outNov 29 06:30
ender2070you're over my head at this pointNov 29 06:30
DaemonFCthe cable company would steer me to their expensive HD box no doubtNov 29 06:31

ender2070the world wouldn't be in the mess it is in right now if people werent so apathetically glued to their tv'sNov 29 07:10

DaemonFCthey keep releasing those entire series DVD sets and the whole thing can cost hundreds of dollars and span dozens of discsNov 29 08:12
DaemonFCI'd rather just spend about 75 cents per DL-DVD blankNov 29 08:12
DaemonFCget the whole series burned for $10-15 usuallyNov 29 08:13
DaemonFCin the MPAA anti-piracy argument, the best thing I saw them list was "You don't get cover art"Nov 29 08:13
