[00:28] http://i.imgur.com/GUg7trQ.jpg [00:46] Hey we could use it on prisoners. You will drink this nasty clear liquid [00:46] nutritious and satisfying [00:51] I wonder where they came up with the unopened bottle [01:10] you can buy all kinds of stupid things on ebay [01:10] http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=vintage+pepsi+unopened [01:12] They are calling g4 "The Esquire Network" now. humanity has failed [02:11] omf_: agree [02:12] I am in pain [02:13] I always thought g4 would lead us more into the mainstream [02:13] Now video games mainstream is just a bunch of jackasses playing Maddon and fucking Angry Birds [02:14] What happened to Ultima? Kings Quest? Quest for Glory? Space Quest? Daggerfall, chasm, doom, quake, Zelda 2 [02:15] Storylines are gone [02:15] fucking co-op is dead [02:15] multiplayer is infested with asshole children on console systems [02:15] and then this next generation of video game systems that will not play used games [02:16] The asteroid that hit Russia should have hit EA headquarters [02:21] We should remove talk capabilities in FPS. It was so much more polite before that happened. [02:21] Yes you lose some game advantages [02:21] but I personally find the annoyance factor too high. [02:29] maybe it should have been more like IM [02:29] only people your friends with in your buddy list can hear you [03:08] that would work [03:50] and then this next generation of video game systems that will not play used games [03:50] ah, see, this is where it gets interesting [03:50] because that is not legally possible in the EU [03:50] which will most likely snowball into at the very least controversy in the US [03:50] persistent controversy I mean :) [03:55] well it is probably not legal in the US either because of the first sale doctrine. [03:56] but they are going to try it and it will have to go to court [06:35] god [06:35] this was so awesome [06:35] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1jY7BLQVMc [06:38] what is that from [06:38] nisemonogatari [06:38] episode 8 [06:39] it's a punishment game [06:39] i think [06:39] iirc [06:39] but then they get caught up in it [06:39] and of course it has vampires [06:42] well [06:42] araragi is a vampire [06:42] oh dude [06:42] episode uh [06:42] 3 or 4 [06:42] has a naked loli [06:42] for like [06:42] the whole episode [06:42] the vampire girl [06:42] jumps out of his shadow while he's bathing [06:43] and is like [06:43] hmph [06:43] wash me [06:46] pushing the boundaries [06:46] idk [06:46] the girls in that series [06:46] are so sexy [06:46] and shiny [06:47] like sengoku nadeko [06:48] http://toarudjnomijogo.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/sengoku-nadeko-nisemonogatari-01.jpg [06:59] Jonimus | chronomex: do you know who I might contact to try and find an old IBM PC Bios update? [06:59] Jonimus | perhaps someone who archived the old ibm pc ftp site? [06:59] anyone got any thoughts? [07:23] Trying out my new scraper with a 780k page test [07:24] I mean testing it by downloading 780,000 pages as a trial run [07:29] Godane - G4 archives were mentioned on the "This Week in Tech" podcast this week. I excerpted it here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zrw-ezCbsiaVhPa0xxRXRHOU0/edit?usp=sharing [07:29] or here: http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-tech/393 [07:29] from 2:06:15 to 2:08:34. [07:30] The aren't talking about IA but about the original source tapes. Kind of interesting. [07:34] Are they being saved [07:36] Well this looks to be fun. I am getting 2 seconds a page with 780,000 pages meaning 18.05 days until it is done [07:36] yay [07:37] shit now I have to write a script in case that fucker stalls out [07:37] ugh [08:55] I want to get the latest Sim City game, but it's full of EA Origin and shit :( [09:00] yeah, the always-online DRM is turning me away from it [09:00] I want to buy it, but probably won't because of that [09:09] just download a crack =0 [09:09] i don't pay for games that have drm [09:09] ... [09:09] * Smiley can't figure out where to stand on this issue [09:10] I disagree with not paying for software [09:10] however I can understand the problem [09:10] I refuse to give my money to companies that use drm [09:10] simple as taht [09:10] *that [09:10] However if you buy the software, then download a cracked version, you've essentially told EA that you support it as that [09:10] fpqc: so don't download it either. [09:10] not really [09:10] in fact, i've told EA that I won't pay for it if it's got DRM [09:10] fpqc: how is a sale not support int? [09:10] you know [09:10] voted with my purchasing power [09:11] fpqc: and voted FOR DRM. [09:11] not really [09:11] every pirated copy they can prove is a +1 for DRM in their eyes. [09:11] yes. yes really. [09:11] because I did not pay for the drm'd software [09:11] lol [09:12] So they decide they need stronger drm [09:12] so the fact that their drm is totally useless [09:12] is a vote for more drm [09:12] And so you've proven my point. Thank you. [09:12] that was sarcasm [09:12] the real answer is don't buy anything EA [09:12] watch them go out of business eventually [09:13] laugh. [09:13] anyway [09:13] i'm for the abolition of copyright [09:13] and patents [09:13] people said the same thing about IBM and they didn't dir, they just got more evil [09:13] fpqc: nah [09:13] fpqc: the problem there is the people with power are the people with money. [09:13] no [09:13] yes. [09:13] XD [09:13] the problem is patents and copyright [09:14] copyright is only broken because it keeps getting extended. [09:14] be a dear a moment [09:14] Copyright is broken none the less [09:15] http://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/jep.27.1.3 [09:16] "The case against patents can be summarized briefly: there is no empirical evidence that they serve to increase innovation and productivity, unless productivity is identified with the number of patents awarded..." [09:17] nod. [09:17] same with copyright [09:17] they reference a few other papers [09:17] that deal with the same question for copyright [09:18] They're around to stiffle innovation. That's why they're around. That's why they were created. [09:18] not really [09:18] they were created to give a financial incentive for innovation [09:19] So that someone doesn't out-"innovate" the lucky motherfucker who filed first [09:19] but the fact is that they don't work [09:19] In my world, that's exactly the same. [09:19] your world mixes intentions with effects? [09:19] or confuses them anyhow [09:19] To some degrees, yes. [09:20] I think that knowing the motivation for something is important [09:20] because if the effects don't live up to the purpose [09:20] then you need to rethink the implementaiton [09:20] *implementation [09:21] * ersi gets lé bored [09:21] The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach. We need enthusiasm, imagination and the ability to face facts, even unpleasant ones, bravely. [09:22] We need to correct, by drastic means if necessary, the faults in our economic system from which we now suffer. We need the courage of the young. Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world which you will find before you. May every one of us be granted the courage, the faith and the vision to give the best that is in us to that remaking! [09:22] - Franklin D. Roosevelt [09:33] I hate APIs that do not have high speed pay levels [09:33] It is free for anyone but rate limited to hell [09:33] I mean they want to make money right? [09:38] omf_: no [09:38] they just want you to get off their backs [09:38] :D [09:38] A for profit company runs the service [13:15] turnkit: just watched that clip [13:15] looks like leo wants to get it but have to drive a van down there [13:16] to get them [13:50] i'm getting gamepro magazine [14:06] i'm uploading the Reboot Special Fast Forward [14:06] the making of reboot [14:41] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/Reboot_Special_-_Fast_Forward_-_The_Making_of_Reboot [15:06] i found the first episode of late night with conan [15:38] internet archive road trip https://twitter.com/banasidhe [15:42] That is pretty cool, live streaming from a vehicle. Too bad I don't have Adobe Flash to view it [15:43] And here's the ustream link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/x-country-roadtrip-w-banasidhe#utm_campaign=t.co&utm_source=13402535&utm_medium=social [16:20] http://runn1ng.github.com/piratebay.html [16:20] i'm brabing the xml 7z dumps he made [16:34] Can archive.org derive straight from DVD rips, or would it need to be remuxed as, e.g., .mpg first? [16:34] There's a CC-licensed DVD that's not available online I was going to upload. [16:37] it can derive straight from a dvd iso [16:38] Nice! [16:39] I'm irritated with myself that I didn't capture the Rebelles website while it was still up. I hope the wayback machine has it. [16:44] depending on how the dvd is structured it may not get all the chapters/titles, I'm not really sure how it works [16:46] I'll have to give it a try and see how it works out. [18:22] http://blog.backblaze.com/2013/02/20/180tb-of-good-vibrations-storage-pod-3-0/ [19:33] the background discussion leading to this can be found at http://lists.pirateweb.net/pipermail/pp.international.general/2013-February/date.html under the subject of "free software video streaming" [19:34] CC BY-ND licensing is being examined to identify the actual limits it applied to the use of works licensed this way [19:34] http://blog.greenpirate.org/examining-the-cc-by-nd-license/ [19:45] Hah, nice - there's a new Yahoo.com [19:45] It kinda looks like.. MSN.com or whatever crap MS had previously [20:50] Are there more or less tech conferences each year? [20:51] It seems like there are always ones that did it last year but are gone this year [20:51] but few we are new and shiny [20:56] Dunno, maybe pretty constant [20:57] I talked with the folks at lanyrd and they don't know because they have not mapped out enough of the conferences being crowd sourced and all [21:10] I love that the IA road trip guys are cruising down the interstate listening to chiptunes [21:13] I love it [21:47] I need an account to chat on ustream [21:47] back to twitter [22:56] Storage Pod 3.0, I want to own you [23:07] HN is actually talking about a Perl scraper, the world might be ending. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5252581
