[01:07] i'm starting to think that therevoltpress.org doesn't really save the right cookies [01:09] godane, really? :/ [01:10] eventhing is false when i save the cookie [01:10] did you get your account approved? [01:11] yes [01:11] hm [01:11] did you try anonymous/anonymous? [01:11] i even reset my password [01:11] yes [01:11] huh [01:11] weird [01:14] http://archive.org/details/TheYesterdayMachine1963 A Nazi scientist invents a time machine enabling him to alter the events of WWII. Starring David Beckham http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3005953/ [01:17] Patt: you should just ask some else to do this [01:18] I didn't ask you [01:18] ok [02:33] man, looking at old aerial photos of areas you know well today is fun [02:35] while I was waiting for some testing to run, I pulled down some old photos ranging from 1947 to 1980 from earthexplorer.usgs.gov and positioned them in google earth (not terribly fun. I wish GE would read the GeoTIFF metadata and position using that) [02:35] (GE's historic view for the area I was interested in only goes back to 1997) [02:35] 1. [02:35] woop woop woop off-topic siren [02:35] 2. qgis. [02:36] 2. this is -bs [02:36] oh rite [02:36] woops [02:36] anyway, qgis. [02:36] is that available for windows? [02:36] * chronomex former geography student [02:36] um, probably [02:36] but it's linux-native so probably 0 fun to get working on w32 [02:37] " It runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows and Android and supports numerous vector, raster, and database formats and functionalities." [02:37] hmm [02:37] nice [02:37] kinda slow tho [02:38] now if I could find some opensource software to georectify these images (and not be too terribly hard to figure out how to do so) [02:39] (yes, I can get the neighboring images in order to do the georectification) [02:45] wouldn't panotools and friends do that? [02:45] if you're talking about automatically aligning them [02:45] i am not talking about making a big image from smaller tiles [02:46] I am talking about warping them to undo the warping from the camera lens and the differing heights of the surface of the earth under the camera [02:47] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthophoto [03:40] oh, orthorectification != georectification [06:04] looks like there is better pdfs on computerpoweruser.com [06:04] and most likely with everything else too [06:34] groklaw pdfs from my 2004 articles warc.gz dump: http://archive.org/details/groklaw.net-pdfs-2004-20120827 [07:32] 00:30:42 -!- chronomex [~chronomex@gir.seattlewireless.net] has joined #archiveteam-godane [07:32] 00:30:42 [Users #archiveteam-godane] [07:32] wat [07:32] 00:30:42 [@underscor] [ chronomex] [07:32] wat [07:32] wat wat wat [07:33] :D [07:43] hahahah [07:46] The Constitution of India is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world, containing 444 articles, 12 schedules and 94 amendments, with 117,369 words in its English language version, while the United States Constitution is the shortest written constitution, at 7 articles and 27 amendments. [07:46] how telling [07:48] Hmmm [07:48] not really [07:48] Christian Constitution weights the most, being on two stone slabs.... [07:48] 10 lines [07:48] hah [07:48] that's not a constitution, it says nothing about amendments [07:49] I said Amendments, not commandments! [07:51] suuure [07:59] chronomex: they aren't the same, but both need to be performed. [08:00] SmileyG: uh, there are 613 commandments. people only seem to remember or know about the first 10 [08:00] :) [08:00] The rest weren't etched in stone were they? [08:00] lol, no [08:01] they're being rediscovered and named "rules of the internet" [08:01] there's a section of rules of the internet outlining slave ownership? [08:02] those may still be undiscovered [08:05] so walgreens sends out "prescription ready for pickup" emails if they have your email address on file. the message doesn't say what the drug is, but it gives some of the digits of the prescription ID: XXNNNN-XXXXX with numbers in the N positions and literal X for the X position. [08:06] They also include information about the store that has the prescription: store number, address, phone, etc [08:06] funny thing... their prescription IDs are (sequentialnumber)-(storenumber) [08:07] so their anonymizing only really obscures two digits [08:08] (the sequential portion is per store) [08:10] Yes [08:53] please don't tell me you guys are archiving walgreens prescriptions [08:55] you think we're just going to let that fade into oblivion? [08:55] your ambition knows no bounds [08:56] lol [08:56] which bounds? [08:56] That would be interesting though. Dumpster diving for Walgreens Receipts. [08:56] strange definition of "interesting" you have [08:58] In this context interesting = wierdness [08:58] Wiki Loves Monuments contest to photograph all monuments around the globe for Wikipedia and preservation purposes, last year 160,000 photos were taken and we broke record guiness for a photography contest [08:58] or wierdly mundane [08:58] this year is worldwide and im making maps http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/ [08:59] i rock lololol [08:59] we will break our own record guinness [09:26] http://games.slashdot.org/story/12/08/28/1517245/welcome-to-the-university-of-michigans-computer-and-video-game-archive-video [09:27] I always wonder how much funding these places allocate for these [09:27] Because i have read absurd amounts being set aside any they only actually purchase 5k worth of stuff [09:43] yeah 5k of stuff ends up as 50k insurance... [09:43] buildings, storage, staff for maintiance... [09:48] but 10k of stuff has the same amount of overhead [09:50] Well how has it become 10k? Do you have double the amount of stuff? (More storage + maintaince) or are the items worth 2x ? (Double the insurance) [09:50] Obviously these are massively made p figures [09:50] augh whatever [09:50] * chronomex zzzz [09:50] :P [10:40] instence: You do know that they're not made out of voluntares and they take quality in high regards, right? [10:40] Throwing something together is cheap [10:40] caring for it, nurturing it, is not [11:35] ersi: come on man, really? :/ [11:36] What? You're suprised? [11:36] no. [11:37] Of course a collegiate institution is not made up of volunteers, and I am well aware that caring for physical items costs time, which costs money. [11:38] I fast tracked my game collection in 2 years, and bought over 1,600 games. I recorded how much I spent, after shipping, on every item. [11:39] Knowing how much I spent and seeing what some of these institutions compile for their collections is rather depressing. Its like they went and raided a local gamestop. [11:41] A far more impressive, larger, and diverse collection of game materials could have been compiled for the same amount or less money than how much money they allocate towards the project. [11:41] I am going based off of memory from reading these articles, so I don't have exact figures off the top of my hand. [11:42] I just remembering seeing many articles that make headlines where people say "100k allocated" or "150k allocated" and it ends up being 150 games and a pacman machine. [12:33] Little is way better than none, though [12:33] Oh yea of course, I'm not saying the efforts are wasted [12:34] But yeah, I of course wish that they'd aquire more, cheaper - for the well being of our history as well :) [15:55] So, not related to archiveteam, but I'm moving 80TB of data from one CDN to another CDN. I'm using 80 threads across 8 instances in Amazon's cloud and it'll take approx 12 days to complete. [16:20] swebb: I don't think it'll ever become blase for me to realize that single entities wield that much friggin data [16:20] even if a good deal of the few exa(?)bytes out there are cat macros [16:25] In my case, it's all video [16:26] that's a lot of pr0n dude [16:26] Ha! [16:40] I wonder: how would you do a statistically sound survey of what percentage of the Internet is porn [16:43] http://cf.badcheese.com/armstrong.jpg [16:47] you could do a % by traffic by going down the alexa list [16:48] # Appears as XENO [16:48] (#G010E010M1) hola [16:49] (#G810E678RM1) hola [16:49] (#G910E910M1) ahi alguien aqui [16:49] (#G;10E;10M1) [16:49] (#G=10E748RM1) [16:49] NO WAY [16:49] Ahem [16:49] * SketchCow cracks knuckles [16:53] What was all that crap about? [17:03] holy shit [17:03] did that actually just happen [17:04] swebb: i'm not sure if you're familiar with microsoft comic chat, but it was an "IRC client" that instead of rendering text, rendered everything as a cartoon [17:05] and it also used to put in a whole lot of junk like that into channels [17:05] this is the first time i've seen it in the wild in a decade [17:06] it was actually a pretty neat idea, except all the junk it put into the channel (which could be turned off) [17:06] (if you're familiar with the webcomic jerkcity, that's made using comic chat) [17:06] but holy shit wtfffffff [17:17] Just looked like a bunch of garbage to me. [17:20] This? http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5248/5325190766_aa602f7bc4_z.jpg [17:25] swebb: yeah [17:25] swebb: yes [17:28] poster child of low information density [18:18] To produce jerkcity, the coder rewrote microsoft comic chat from scratch [18:18] SketchCow: i didn't know that! [18:18] I know those guys [18:18] Very well, in fact. [18:19] Sockington is actually based off of Jerkcity style writing [18:19] Even up to calling me Fatty [18:19] hi SketchCow, how is everything? [18:19] wow, i always wondered why nobody had done that for kicks, and it turns out someone has [18:19] that is beautiful [22:15] 15:10:24 <@SketchCow> The founder of Onlive, who also was a creator of Quicktime and WebTV [22:16] the same guy is behind all of those? [22:16] I have mixed feelings about this [22:57] I dont, my feelings are quite the same about the 3 [23:00] heh [23:22] http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7278/7491343136_01c0d31b08_b.jpg
