[00:19] Who Was H.M.? Inside The Mind Of The Amnesiac Who Revolutionized Neuroscience: http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-05/who-was-hm-inside-mind-worlds-most-famous-amnesiac [00:19] it looks like near the end they were saving everything cause he couldn't remember it [01:34] looks like we have hd full episodes of electric playground [01:35] at least the episodes on g4tv.com [02:05] you have an S4 SketchCow? how is it? [02:33] looks like video key 60351 and 60403 are the same file [02:34] only 60403 is named as20120816_test_flvhd.flv [02:34] and 60351 is named as20120816_thefeed_flvhd.flv [03:43] http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pkaSoISq9Wg/TT9CALfkUUI/AAAAAAAAAIg/8ITJ_5QM1Xk/s1600/shutterstock_17438437.jpg [03:43] I ARE HACKING [03:46] oh noes dont taek my megabytes!! [03:50] christ those gloves would be hard to masturbate with [06:26] http://imgur.com/gallery/wBYRtZz [06:30] almost had me fooled [06:31] So there is this article in which all the "journalism" and "Research" are tweets. This guy is worried about Unix history and I am wondering if I should clue him in to the ever amassing amount of Unix on IA that I am uploadeding. http://www.ccsp.sfu.ca/2013/05/software-preservation-and-the-special-problem-of-unix/ [06:31] It seems like a lot of these academic types have no clue what is going on out there. [06:34] At least do a few google searches a week [06:35] but that'd invalidate their "research" :P [06:36] what research [06:36] Archive Team generates more data and research than these clods. [06:37] :) [06:37] Shit anyone could write a paper on "The sustainability of web architecture under long term heavy load" aka we bitch slapped posterous around [06:39] The companies who collect data like this normally do not share it. Google, yahoo, microsoft, dropbox, netflix they all get knowledge gained from large scale everything and everyone else is lucky if we a short paper on it to help us out [06:40] Take the http archive [06:40] They are trying to make a large block of open data [06:41] That is the only one I know of [06:41] Everything else is one shots like the Internet Census [06:42] omf_: I ran across that essay on Jason's tweetfeed a few hours ago, weirdly; I think it reads like the sort of BS essays I'd crank out in some high school classes [06:43] Being an academic doesn't mean they are a good writer or communicator of ideas [06:44] I'm around a lot of academics at my job and I'd say that the reverse is more likely to be true [06:47] (e.g. if they're an academic, it's more likely that they aren't a good communicator) [06:48] I have seen some excellent research and then craptastic papers and presentations about it. That does not devaule the work, it just makes it harder to find that it is good [06:48] Just imagine for a moment if engineering departments at universities had staff writers and editors to help with publications [06:50] Less verbosity and jargon I bet. A lower barrier to entry for reading and understanding [06:53] can't have that!!! :O [06:53] Can't spead the good! [06:55] Ivory towers of KNOWLEDGE!!! [06:55] I'll burn this book before I give it to *you* [06:56] Yeah I worked in academia too long [06:56] It is just a group of people with more social and communication problems and yet more arrogant than a normal group of people [06:58] This is why I cannot be President. I must be a Dictator. [07:03] I will start by having BlueMax shave all the former members of congress, followed by a public tar and feathering [07:03] Because corporations are people too. [07:03] Very good. [07:04] and Donald Trump. That fucking comb over, GOD it is crazy [07:05] so far I am inspired to join your army when you take power [07:06] I will have Sketchatron film and star in all the propaganda videos [07:06] Gotta fuel the fire. [07:08] Then I would execute all middle to high level employees of Monsonto and ban that gmo bullshit [07:09] sketchatron? [07:09] you made a robot version of jason? [07:10] Think of Nixon from Futurama [07:10] http://theinfosphere.org/images/2/29/Robo_Nixon.png [07:10] yah [07:15] Note the scale. Sketchatron will simply be able to step on his detractors. This is a key feature for good public relations [07:15] will he be covered in hard drives and usb ports? [07:17] Lasers of PURE DATA! [07:17] Shit he should just throw stacks of old national geographics at people [07:17] or phone books [07:17] we got a lot of those lying around [07:18] let's put some printers on him so he can slap people in the face with printed GeoCities websites [07:47] joepie91: tinypic is faster than imageshack and photobucket [07:49] omf_: You're forgetting that academia is pretyu much an industry these days [07:50] Or maybe you're not forgetting, maybe I'm just not reading that into what you wrote. But to my point, cram people through some kind of "educational" pipeline and make them do at least one paper each - boom, graduate [08:03] ersi, I agree with your point. My angle is people not in academia give people in academia too much credit. They are just flawed people too [08:04] Yeah the education industry now just devalues the work I did in college before. [08:04] Indeed. People fail to see that it's an industry like any other [08:05] Sure, there *is* bright people in academia doing *good* research - but NOT in general [08:05] are [08:05] damn [08:05] I find this correction a bit ironic :) [08:05] that's what you get for restructuring sentenses too fast [08:06] yes, it's not lost on me [08:06] either [08:06] anyway carry on, I find this discussion interesting [08:07] When I was in college I wanted to publish papers and show people interesting ideas. Then I started the paper vetting process... and it is really dumb [08:07] http://blog.regehr.org/archives/953 [08:07] Relevant posting [08:07] You allow a professor to put their name on your work so you can get a foot in the door [08:07] even though they didn't do anything [08:07] and usually you have to do this for multiple papers [08:08] then with more ass kissing you are *in* [08:08] Now some people say they "vouch for you" but that is bullshit [08:09] If all the data, code, and materials were released with a paper any smart 3rd party should be able to recreate the results [08:09] Proving something requires repeatability [08:11] Okay with point 1 from that blog post. expected to be a significantly stronger writer, researcher, and public speaker.. compared to what? They are not required to take public speaking, debate, or advanced writing or communications [08:12] Compared to the course-only-MS [08:13] I assume [08:13] oh yes [08:13] Not compared to a professional speaker/presenter [08:13] Having to write more papers will make them better or break them :) [08:14] One of the strong points of writing things down is it helps you organize and identify the ideas you want to convey [08:24] Then you read aloud what you wrote to see if it sounds correct and coherent [09:55] i'm in more then one irc now [09:55] i'm testing slax 7.0.8 [09:55] this is just a tet [18:29] TWITTERCEPTION [18:33] D: [19:35] http://de2.eu.apcdn.com/full/39668.jpg [21:07] so there looks to be episode 0 and 2 pilots of the feednightcap [21:07] also in hd [21:40] if anyone wants to mirror revista xtreampc: http://xtrempc.dhost.ro/revista.html [21:41] all 116 issues are there i think [22:57] just got a 'new' scanner [22:57] http://owely.com/916uUIY [22:57] that's like a 4 x 5 cm area of a comic cover I scanned [22:57] the thing is excruciatingly slow, but I'm quite impressed with the scan quality [23:00] Anyone remember who was discussing cinnemageddon a while back? Perhaps here or in not -bs? [23:01] Famicoman [23:03] aha, thanks
