03:43 🔗 underscor I ARE HACKING
03:46 🔗 DFJustin oh noes dont taek my megabytes!!
03:50 🔗 BlueMax christ those gloves would be hard to masturbate with
06:26 🔗 omf_ http://imgur.com/gallery/wBYRtZz
06:30 🔗 ivan` almost had me fooled
06:31 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 omf_ It seems like a lot of these academic types have no clue what is going on out there.
06:34 🔗 omf_ At least do a few google searches a week
06:35 🔗 SmileyG but that'd invalidate their "research" :P
06:36 🔗 omf_ what research
06:36 🔗 omf_ Archive Team generates more data and research than these clods.
06:37 🔗 SmileyG :)
06:37 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 omf_ Take the http archive
06:40 🔗 omf_ They are trying to make a large block of open data
06:41 🔗 omf_ That is the only one I know of
06:41 🔗 omf_ Everything else is one shots like the Internet Census
06:42 🔗 yipdw 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 🔗 omf_ Being an academic doesn't mean they are a good writer or communicator of ideas
06:44 🔗 yipdw 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 🔗 yipdw (e.g. if they're an academic, it's more likely that they aren't a good communicator)
06:48 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 omf_ Just imagine for a moment if engineering departments at universities had staff writers and editors to help with publications
06:50 🔗 omf_ Less verbosity and jargon I bet. A lower barrier to entry for reading and understanding
06:53 🔗 SmileyG can't have that!!! :O
06:53 🔗 SmileyG Can't spead the good!
06:55 🔗 omf_ Ivory towers of KNOWLEDGE!!!
06:55 🔗 omf_ I'll burn this book before I give it to *you*
06:56 🔗 omf_ Yeah I worked in academia too long
06:56 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 omf_ This is why I cannot be President. I must be a Dictator.
07:03 🔗 omf_ I will start by having BlueMax shave all the former members of congress, followed by a public tar and feathering
07:03 🔗 omf_ Because corporations are people too.
07:03 🔗 BlueMax Very good.
07:04 🔗 omf_ and Donald Trump. That fucking comb over, GOD it is crazy
07:05 🔗 yipdw so far I am inspired to join your army when you take power
07:06 🔗 omf_ I will have Sketchatron film and star in all the propaganda videos
07:06 🔗 omf_ Gotta fuel the fire.
07:08 🔗 omf_ Then I would execute all middle to high level employees of Monsonto and ban that gmo bullshit
07:09 🔗 SmileyG sketchatron?
07:09 🔗 SmileyG you made a robot version of jason?
07:10 🔗 omf_ Think of Nixon from Futurama
07:10 🔗 omf_ http://theinfosphere.org/images/2/29/Robo_Nixon.png
07:10 🔗 SmileyG yah
07:15 🔗 omf_ Note the scale. Sketchatron will simply be able to step on his detractors. This is a key feature for good public relations
07:15 🔗 BlueMax will he be covered in hard drives and usb ports?
07:17 🔗 SmileyG Lasers of PURE DATA!
07:17 🔗 omf_ Shit he should just throw stacks of old national geographics at people
07:17 🔗 omf_ or phone books
07:17 🔗 omf_ we got a lot of those lying around
07:18 🔗 BlueMax let's put some printers on him so he can slap people in the face with printed GeoCities websites
07:47 🔗 ersi joepie91: tinypic is faster than imageshack and photobucket
07:49 🔗 ersi omf_: You're forgetting that academia is pretyu much an industry these days
07:50 🔗 ersi 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 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 omf_ Yeah the education industry now just devalues the work I did in college before.
08:04 🔗 ersi Indeed. People fail to see that it's an industry like any other
08:05 🔗 ersi Sure, there *is* bright people in academia doing *good* research - but NOT in general
08:05 🔗 norbert79 are
08:05 🔗 ersi damn
08:05 🔗 norbert79 I find this correction a bit ironic :)
08:05 🔗 ersi that's what you get for restructuring sentenses too fast
08:06 🔗 ersi yes, it's not lost on me
08:06 🔗 ersi either
08:06 🔗 norbert79 anyway carry on, I find this discussion interesting
08:07 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 ersi http://blog.regehr.org/archives/953
08:07 🔗 ersi Relevant posting
08:07 🔗 omf_ You allow a professor to put their name on your work so you can get a foot in the door
08:07 🔗 omf_ even though they didn't do anything
08:07 🔗 omf_ and usually you have to do this for multiple papers
08:08 🔗 omf_ then with more ass kissing you are *in*
08:08 🔗 omf_ Now some people say they "vouch for you" but that is bullshit
08:09 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 omf_ Proving something requires repeatability
08:11 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 ersi Compared to the course-only-MS
08:13 🔗 ersi I assume
08:13 🔗 omf_ oh yes
08:13 🔗 ersi Not compared to a professional speaker/presenter
08:13 🔗 omf_ Having to write more papers will make them better or break them :)
08:14 🔗 omf_ One of the strong points of writing things down is it helps you organize and identify the ideas you want to convey
08:24 🔗 omf_ Then you read aloud what you wrote to see if it sounds correct and coherent
09:55 🔗 godane i'm in more then one irc now
09:55 🔗 godane i'm testing slax 7.0.8
09:55 🔗 godane-sl this is just a tet
18:29 🔗 SketchCow TWITTERCEPTION
18:33 🔗 Smiley D:
19:35 🔗 ersi http://de2.eu.apcdn.com/full/39668.jpg
21:07 🔗 godane so there looks to be episode 0 and 2 pilots of the feednightcap
21:07 🔗 godane also in hd
21:40 🔗 godane if anyone wants to mirror revista xtreampc: http://xtrempc.dhost.ro/revista.html
21:41 🔗 godane all 116 issues are there i think
22:57 🔗 joepie91 just got a 'new' scanner
22:57 🔗 joepie91 http://owely.com/916uUIY
22:57 🔗 joepie91 that's like a 4 x 5 cm area of a comic cover I scanned
22:57 🔗 joepie91 the thing is excruciatingly slow, but I'm quite impressed with the scan quality
23:00 🔗 underscor Anyone remember who was discussing cinnemageddon a while back? Perhaps here or in not -bs?
