[14:20] (I hear this about so called "British Standards" as well) [14:23] Shakespea: it's not about pricy, it's about the fact that they aren't openly available *at all* [14:23] joepie91: if you don't need the ratified version, there's almost always a draft floating around for free. Otherwise, they do suck. If you're really lucky, another standards group has ratified that standard and made it available [14:23] Shakespea: so there's ISO 9660, which is freely available as ECMA-119 [14:23] but the 2013 amendment is *not* [14:23] and costs $25 [14:24] for a few changed sentences [14:24] fucking ridiculous. [14:24] dashcloud: nope [14:24] already looked [14:24] joepie91: Standards which are a legal requirment should be open for inspection :) [14:24] ISO 9660:1988/Amd.1:2013 [14:24] Shakespea: not a legal requirement, but good luck building anything to do with CD-ROMs without having those standards handy [14:24] any standard should be openly available full stop [14:25] joepie91: Standards organisation do still have to cover costs [14:25] But in principle I agree that closed standards aren't standards but guidelines [14:25] Shakespea: when somebody becomes a hitman, your first response isn't "well he has to put bread on the table" either [14:25] Shakespea: you may be interested in the work Carl Malamud and public.resource.org are doing along those lines [14:25] it's "being a hitman is unacceptable!" [14:25] no different here [14:25] yes, they have costs [14:25] but 1) that is not my problem [14:25] and 2) it does not excuse behaviour that is harmful to society [14:25] dashcloud: I'm aware of that as well [14:26] let them find a way to cover costs that does NOT lock up important knowledge from the public [14:26] I found them when trying to configure the correct colors of railway signs for a train-sim [14:26] in a drawing program :) [14:26] You would think you would be able to find out what colour an important industrial sign should be? Right? [14:27] For one sign it would have cost me about 200 GBP for one color reference XD [14:27] joepie91: if you'd really like that standard, I'm happy to send you $25 to cover the cost there (although I suspect cost isn't really why you haven't gotten a copy of it already) [14:27] What was even more upseting was that the standard mentioned was obselete annyway [14:28] dashcloud: in this case it sort of is (I'm not paying $25 for a diff! I have more important shit to put my money towards), but my complaint regarding its closedness exists regardless of the cost :) [14:29] joepie91: Standards should be "open" for the public to inspect. [14:29] Open source hasn't killed software consultancy [14:29] Open Data hasn't caused the collapse of government depts through transparency [14:30] And if I keep talking , I'll hit the flood limit here :( [14:31] (Also when you have to go to a Chinese Website to find a standard, your locla public library doesn't because they can't afford a subscription, something is very very wrong) [14:31] *** JesseW has joined #archiveteam-bs [14:32] dashcloud: moment, I'm going to check something [14:36] dashcloud: I've sorta kinda found a copy [14:36] http://pismotec.com/cfs/iso9660-1999.html [14:36] this claims to be the 1999 edition [14:36] but it contains the changes listed in a preview version of the 2013 amendment [14:36] (as in, all the changes I could see in that preview are present in the "1999" version) [14:39] yay!

[17:09] "An Interleave Gap shall comprise the set of Logical Blocks that are within an Extent and the Logical Block Numbers of which lie between the last Logical Block Number of a File Unit and the first Logical Block Number of the next File Unit, if any, in the sequence."
