schestowitzSoftware patents are not valid where I live. And for good reasons! I know Japan is one among the very few countries that made the mistake of allowing software patents. I don't know about China, but in some ways I admire their approach towards intellectual monopolies, which make monopolies, censorship, classes, bogus DMCA takedowns, and so on. Big mess, ACTA exacerbates things.Mar 19 00:28

DaemonFCtheir goal is to abuse freedom of speech until they are in power, and then repeal it for everyone else, _goblin Mar 19 01:14
DaemonFCHow many times has history repeated this?Mar 19 01:14
bruce89but unfortunately, a lot of people take these right-wing toilet rolls of newspapers as factMar 19 01:14
_goblinthe problem is (with the crew that made that Youtube vid) is that in promoting their opinion of "free speech" whilst challenging laws they know little about, they are actually justifying the freedom of speech of groups like BNP.....you cant have free speech for some and not for others.Mar 19 01:15
DaemonFC_goblin, That's kind of why the Libertarians appeal to me. "As long as you're not hurting anyone else, it's not a state interest." They even want to get the state out of marriage, all marriage.Mar 19 01:15

Balroga lot of things that many people consider morally unsound are legalMar 19 01:19
DaemonFCBalrog, There's really no tax incentives to get married, in fact the state can stop paying a person't Social Security from a dead spouse if they remarry. So lots of elderly people jsut have to live togeter or get penalized.Mar 19 01:19
_goblinof sound mind and body, able to make rational decisionsMar 19 01:19
MinceR_goblin: so if this hypothetical person disagrees with a political statement then it should be censored?Mar 19 01:19
BalrogI didn't mean tax incentivesMar 19 01:19
BalrogI meant that the state can take advantage of itMar 19 01:19
MinceR_goblin: there's One Correct Opinion and everyone else must be silenced?Mar 19 01:19
DaemonFChow so?Mar 19 01:19
_goblinno...I just think we all live in 2010 where we all agree Racism, Homophobia et all are wrong and should be challenged.Mar 19 01:20
DaemonFCYou can still file singleMar 19 01:20
bruce89by reason, not by silencingMar 19 01:20
MinceR_goblin: also, what if we have multiple Persons Of Reasonable Firmness and they disagree with each other? ban the expression of all political ideas?Mar 19 01:20
bruce89supression doesn't help at allMar 19 01:20
_goblinI personally think in respect of homophobia, sentences should be far more harsh.Mar 19 01:20
MinceR_goblin: they can't be "challenged" if they aren't allowed to be expressed and spoken of.Mar 19 01:20
_goblinMincer: and thats democracy.  But like I say, there are subjects I am sure we all agree on because we are all decent people.Mar 19 01:21

_goblinanyone think its ok to be homophobic.Mar 19 01:21
bruce89of course notMar 19 01:21
_goblintheres your answer.Mar 19 01:21
bruce89that's a pathetic excuseMar 19 01:21
MinceR_goblin: and how do you define "decent people"? remember that this definition will control freedom of speech, so it must be exact and objective.Mar 19 01:21
_goblinwe all agreeMar 19 01:21
DaemonFCBalrog, If your joint income will put you in a higher tax bracket but individually, you're in a lower one, you both file singleMar 19 01:21
bruce89no we don'tMar 19 01:21
Balrogokay, let me put it this way: should racists be put in jail, if they're nonviolent?Mar 19 01:21
_goblinMincer: I have just demonstrated "decent people" by asking those questions.Mar 19 01:22
Balrog(and don't discriminate in work and such)Mar 19 01:22
DaemonFCBalrog, Like you make $80,000 and they make $20,000, you should both file singleMar 19 01:22
MinceR_goblin: no you haven'tMar 19 01:22
DaemonFCthat way you don't cross into another bracketMar 19 01:22
Balrogwhy do you need extra laws to make something illegal that already is illegal?Mar 19 01:22
BalrogDaemonFC: don't they make you file married filing separately?Mar 19 01:22
MinceR_goblin: also, if you suppress political opinions that are "obviously wrong" to all "decent people" then people will naturally suggest that perhaps there's some truth to those ideas because they must be suppressed so carefully.Mar 19 01:22
_goblinMincer: well if we all agree racism is wrong.  If we all agree thats a decent view, then thats answered your question.Mar 19 01:22
DaemonFChuh? I meant if you're marriedMar 19 01:22
DaemonFCnot that I am marriedMar 19 01:22

MinceR_goblin: but flooding isn't really the expression of a view.Mar 19 01:50
_goblinMincer: So theres your censorship.  Proving that you do need it in order to keep stability in any society be it BN IRC or anywhere else.Mar 19 01:51
MinceR_goblin: also keep in mind that this channel is a method for its members to filter and choose what information they access.Mar 19 01:51
MinceR_goblin: that's not censorship, and i've already told you why it isn't.Mar 19 01:51
bruce89this doesn't clear up as to why censorship is apprently goodMar 19 01:51

_goblinMincer: well it was for me, since they disconnected after the banMar 19 01:54
MinceR_goblin: since as i've mentioned already, private chat and making/joining any number of channels to continue the discussion on is still possible.Mar 19 01:55
MinceR_goblin: it was their decision to disconnect, not Roy's.Mar 19 01:55
MinceRif he was interested in the debate, he wouldn't have disconnectedMar 19 01:55

MinceRand nothing regarding other channelsMar 19 02:01
MinceRa typical idea of the moderation of an irc channel would be that it's set up to talk about a particular topic and the operators are entrusted with making sure that topic is being followedMar 19 02:02
MinceRso if someone is banned because they're talking offtopic that is to be expectedMar 19 02:02

Ziomatrixmeh, nvm I have been trying to get a Sprint phone I have to unlock so it can work on Verizon. VZW claims they take open handsets but apparently tech support couldn't detect the EDN and one store I went to just didn't want to handle it, maybe they thought it was stolen.Mar 19 14:45

oiaohmThinking the phone is never really locked.Mar 19 14:46
Ziomatrixoiaohm: no its a Qualcomm 3G CDMA phone, Samsung Upstage to be exactMar 19 14:47
Ziomatrixoiaohm: unfortunatley US carriers have never used the R-UIM like Asian ones doMar 19 14:47

Ziomatrixoiaohm: Hardware ID, as in the Security Number or EDN/MIEDMar 19 14:50
oiaohmEDN/MIEDMar 19 14:50
Ziomatrixoiaohm: I got that but when I called up a Verizon rep who asked me for it to see if he can get access he claimed it wasn't accepted by their databaseMar 19 14:51
oiaohmErrors do happen.Mar 19 14:52
oiaohmThere have been cases of wrong label on wrong phone.   ZiomatrixMar 19 14:52
oiaohmAlso there are cases of the EDN not being written in the phone either.Mar 19 14:53
Ziomatrixoiaohm: The phone has worked for years before with the one who gave it to me after they upgraded to a Blackberry. I am thinking because the phone is still technically locked, I read that I should be able to get the unlock code from Sprint if its old enough.Mar 19 14:53
Ziomatrixoiaohm: I found the EDN/MIED under Phone Info along with its FCC code in hexidecimal and long decimalMar 19 14:54
oiaohmEDN/MIED of the phone should be under battery.Mar 19 14:54
Ziomatrixoiaohm: unfortunately with the Samsung Upstage they tried to be so hard to make it like a kind of iPod phone that it doesn't have a removable battery :PMar 19 14:54

Ziomatrixoiaohm: nopeMar 19 14:55

oiaohmNumber 1 still locked to a carrior.Mar 19 14:56
oiaohmNumber 2 someone reported it stolen.Mar 19 14:56
oiaohmNumber 3 the phone has screwed up internally and it lost is EDN/MIED for good.Mar 19 14:57
oiaohmNumber 4 you have the wrong paper work.Mar 19 14:57
Ziomatrixoiaohm: I would go with Number 1, since the phone is merely de-activated and probably not unlockedMar 19 14:57
oiaohmYes I have had a phone with a EDN that truely read all 0Mar 19 14:58
Ziomatrixoiaohm: I guess that means I have to take it to a store where they would accept running software to crack and unlock it or try to get the unlock code from the former carrierMar 19 14:58
oiaohmAnd it was reporting as always de-activated.Mar 19 14:58
Ziomatrixoiaohm: so assentially they killed the phone so it can't run again? She said if I couldn't activate she would donate it to a charitable organization, they may have a hard time re-activating it too then?Mar 19 14:59
oiaohmIe how is it locked does the phone interface work.Mar 19 15:00
Ziomatrixoiaohm: yes it doesMar 19 15:00
oiaohmHad to ask.  Just in case it was user locked.Mar 19 15:01
Ziomatrixoiaohm: I even get a signal even though I know I can't call anything beyond customer serviceMar 19 15:01
oiaohmAnd emergency.Mar 19 15:01
ZiomatrixtrueMar 19 15:01
oiaohmThat is tower side.Mar 19 15:01
Ziomatrixoiaohm: alright I am going to see if I can to the stores on time before the afternoon rush, luckily where I am going there is a Sprint and Verizon store on the same block. Anything else you need to tell me?Mar 19 15:02
oiaohmYou need the right sim in the phone so you can unlock it.Mar 19 15:03
oiaohmIe message must go to the right carrier to unlock the phone.Mar 19 15:03
oiaohmPart of what makes cracking so hard.Mar 19 15:03
Ziomatrixoiaohm: yea its ecspecially a PIA when you can't just use a SIM Mar 19 15:04
oiaohmSo that phone does not take a sim.Mar 19 15:04
Ziomatrixoiaohm: its a North American CDMA phoneMar 19 15:04
oiaohmOk pre 3g really.Mar 19 15:05
oiaohmIt should be impossible to be connected to the wrong carrior.Mar 19 15:05
Ziomatrixoiaohm: well it is a 3G handset, even though its a Samsung I don't see a slot for R-UIM anywhere which North American CDMA carriers don't even use so its mootMar 19 15:05
oiaohmI guess you don't have a direct to carrior tech support number.Mar 19 15:05
Ziomatrixoiaohm: I am looking for the one for SprintMar 19 15:06
oiaohmHere we have a number for those that auto redirects to who ever the carrior for the phone is.Mar 19 15:06
Ziomatrixoiaohm: ok I think I found it, its *2 for Sprint phonesMar 19 15:07
oiaohmMaking things like this a lot simpler to solve.Mar 19 15:07
oiaohmNorth Americans are still using the pre 3g system.Mar 19 15:07
oiaohmI would almost bet your cdma is not encrypted either.Mar 19 15:08
Ziomatrixoiaohm: yea I'm on now, Customer Service couldn't do a thing so I'm being transferred to Tech SupportMar 19 15:11
oiaohmNote the device lock is basically a general carrier agreement to prevent phone sending messages into 2 networks side by side.Mar 19 15:13
