00:47 🔗 underscor godane: it chunks the data into ~2KB chunks
00:47 🔗 underscor which is the most a single QR code can hold
00:47 🔗 underscor it is negatively efficient
00:47 🔗 underscor but silly
01:25 🔗 yipdw underscor: actually, I have a use for that
01:25 🔗 * yipdw has several base64'd cryptographic keys that he printed out and stored in safes
01:26 🔗 yipdw QR might be a more reliable way than OCR to recover them
01:33 🔗 joepie91 it is, yes.
01:34 🔗 joepie91 that's how Bitcoin keys are typically encoded
01:34 🔗 joepie91 when printed on paper
02:02 🔗 yipdw actually hmm
02:02 🔗 yipdw none of my devices will scan a version 40 QR code
02:02 🔗 yipdw hhe
02:02 🔗 yipdw heh
02:43 🔗 dashcloud do you have a sample of the QR code so I can test it with my phone?
02:52 🔗 underscor http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Qr-code-ver-40.png
02:52 🔗 underscor Barcode reader (zxing) on android reads it
03:28 🔗 dashcloud thanks
04:25 🔗 omf_ The original battlestar galactica and wing commander are being released on bluray
04:26 🔗 omf_ I have hope for all the better shows and movies that have still not yet made it
04:33 🔗 omf_ Like Star Trek DS9, Babylon 5, MacGyver, and shittier shows like Earth Final Conflict
04:35 🔗 DFJustin I assume ds9 will get looked at once all the tng seasons are done
04:35 🔗 omf_ it has problems TNG didn't
04:35 🔗 omf_ fuckers did the special effects on tape
04:35 🔗 omf_ so scaling is a problem
04:36 🔗 omf_ They would have to redo almost all the effects shots
04:36 🔗 omf_ People are working on it though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLFQ6TqsEkw
04:37 🔗 DFJustin tng had the special effects on tape too
04:37 🔗 omf_ There is an interview with Mike O. a few years before they started converting TNG talking about the problems ds9 would face.
04:37 🔗 omf_ They redid a lot of the TNG effects
04:37 🔗 omf_ all the phaser blasts, all space shots
04:38 🔗 DFJustin right
04:38 🔗 omf_ I love the way it looks
04:38 🔗 omf_ the HD versions let you see the quality of the costumes and the lighting looks so much better
04:39 🔗 DFJustin so how is ds9 different from tng
04:39 🔗 omf_ I am looking for that video clip
04:41 🔗 omf_ Here is a good article about it. http://trekcore.com/blog/2013/05/deep-space-nine-in-high-definition-one-step-closer/
04:41 🔗 omf_ The big issue now is they are missing 50 cg models of ships
04:42 🔗 omf_ babylon 5 has the same problem
04:42 🔗 omf_ original models are missing
04:42 🔗 omf_ Because it was obviously too fucking hard to back that shit up on a few dvds or a spare hard drive.
04:43 🔗 DFJustin I know ds9 used miniatures for some of the early stuff at least, but yeah the dominion war is what everyone wants to see :/
04:43 🔗 omf_ yeah last two seasons they switched to almost all CG
04:43 🔗 omf_ and the fight scenes, camera angles, pacing and everything felt and looked better
04:44 🔗 omf_ star trek can be pretty wooden
04:44 🔗 omf_ Some of the Enterprise episodes got very dynamic and I believe it presented a better visual story
04:45 🔗 omf_ The only people who have most of the assets are the original artists who kept it for themselves
04:45 🔗 omf_ Artist, Archivist, hmmm :D
04:46 🔗 omf_ Networks are syndicating TNG in HD so there is money in it
04:50 🔗 omf_ DFJustin, what is the one series you look forward to in HD
04:52 🔗 DFJustin hmm honestly tng has been the big one for me
04:52 🔗 DFJustin I grew up watching that, never got as into the other franchises
04:53 🔗 DFJustin a lot of my favourites are in the 7th season so that will be a while yet
04:56 🔗 DFJustin there's some potential for 90s anime, I've seen blu-ray rips of tenchi muyou and it looks fabulous
04:56 🔗 omf_ oh yeah the anime scene is going HD
04:56 🔗 DFJustin a lot of the classic series are just getting new reboots rather than remasters though
04:56 🔗 omf_ I was just looking at the upcoming bluray list and more and more anime is on the way
04:57 🔗 omf_ for me the big one was DBZ
04:57 🔗 omf_ Kai looks great
04:57 🔗 DFJustin haven't gotten around to watching that
04:58 🔗 omf_ http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/releasedates.html
04:58 🔗 DFJustin kai that is
04:58 🔗 DFJustin anime blu ray prices have been pretty steep though to prevent reverse-importation into japan
05:05 🔗 omf_ fuck Love Hina bluray is really expensive. I see what you mean DFJustin
05:11 🔗 omf_ Stargate SG-1 season 8-10 have been released in HD but the earlier seasons have issues just like TNG
05:11 🔗 omf_ then again looking back on that series I cannot understand how I ever enjoyed it
05:11 🔗 * BlueMax throws omf_ out the window onto his head
05:12 🔗 DFJustin oh wow they're reanimating the kyoto arc of rurouni kenshin as an OVA series how did I miss that
05:13 🔗 omf_ fuck YEAH
05:14 🔗 omf_ I hope they get the same animators who did the first set of OVA versions
05:14 🔗 DFJustin seems unlikely with that kind of time gap
05:14 🔗 omf_ that series had some good music
05:14 🔗 omf_ I mean more style wise
05:15 🔗 omf_ this http://www.anime-planet.com/images/anime/screenshots/kenshin1.jpg
05:15 🔗 DFJustin actually the studio and director are the same
05:15 🔗 omf_ vs http://www.freewebs.com/nestreborn/OVA4-047.jpg
05:17 🔗 omf_ Well we have seen this kind of thing before. Ninja scroll went from a movie to a OVA series
05:17 🔗 omf_ I still need to watch that too
05:23 🔗 omf_ Okay here is something I still do not understand. China's windows XP numbers went up and are still high while the rest of the world is still going down
05:23 🔗 omf_ What application are they using that they need windows XP
05:23 🔗 DFJustin xp is easier to pirate
05:24 🔗 BlueMax ^
05:24 🔗 omf_ Linux is easier to pirate
05:24 🔗 omf_ :P
05:24 🔗 BlueMax linux isn't windows
05:24 🔗 DFJustin linux can't run cheesy chinese mmo of the month
05:24 🔗 omf_ DFJustin, I get it now
05:24 🔗 omf_ gaming and entertainment
05:28 🔗 omf_ I would also hazard the guess that XP runs with less resources than windows 7
05:28 🔗 omf_ so old systems can live longer
05:29 🔗 omf_ One article says MS could make 32 billion off the end of life of XP
05:31 🔗 underscor they should just EOL all their operating systems
05:31 🔗 underscor :D
05:32 🔗 omf_ The real MS problem is their internal corporate culture. A high school friend went and worked for them and the horror stories are worse than the ones we hear in the press
05:32 🔗 omf_ A toxic corporate culture does bleed into the products
05:37 🔗 DFJustin haha what golgo 13 on blu ray
05:38 🔗 omf_ yeah
05:38 🔗 DFJustin I can't see that being a big seller
05:40 🔗 omf_ I'll watch it at least once
05:40 🔗 DFJustin don't get me wrong I love it but it doesn't hit the usual anime demographic and the dvds are in bargain bin sales
05:57 🔗 SketchCow Saw Golgo13 in the theater.
05:58 🔗 omf_ Did you like it?
11:24 🔗 godane i'm regrabing the g4tv episodes list
11:24 🔗 godane only so its more up today
11:24 🔗 godane *to date
12:05 🔗 godane looks like it was a good thing i'm doing this
12:05 🔗 godane i found a old video like to one of tech countdown segments
12:07 🔗 godane this missing video key some how didn't get uploaded when i uploaded the 26xxx ids
12:07 🔗 godane turns out there was like 10 video keys not uploaded in that area
13:42 🔗 omf_ joepie91, Did they tell you when you would get your equipment back?
13:43 🔗 joepie91 omf_: nope
13:44 🔗 omf_ fuckers
16:54 🔗 swebb Just started watching Jason's DEFCON video now
18:08 🔗 Aranje swebb:) link?
18:24 🔗 ersi I assume he meant this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVwaIe6CiHw
18:24 🔗 ersi which is the DEFCON Documentary
18:26 🔗 omf_ https://archive.org/details/DEFCON20Documentary
18:27 🔗 ersi or that, hehe
18:41 🔗 joepie91 omf_: sound broked on the 720p version
18:44 🔗 DFJustin don't use quicktime
18:47 🔗 omf_ I watched the mpeg4 version with mplayer and it worked fine for me
18:50 🔗 joepie91 DFJustin: ... I use Linux
18:50 🔗 joepie91 no such thing as Quicktime
18:50 🔗 joepie91 lol
18:50 🔗 omf_ you use mplayer or vlc
18:50 🔗 joepie91 it's using the Chrome HTML5 playerr
18:50 🔗 joepie91 ... I mean on the web player
18:50 🔗 omf_ aah
18:50 🔗 joepie91 the sounds works fine on the 360p version
18:51 🔗 joepie91 just not on 720p
18:51 🔗 joepie91 switched back and forth a few times, repeatable issue
18:51 🔗 omf_ I am seriously thinking about the 500gb version
18:52 🔗 SmileyG yey
18:52 🔗 SmileyG i can watch at work now tomorrow after handing notice in D:
18:52 🔗 omf_ I can only imagine how much other good content there is
18:53 🔗 omf_ I can feel the pain it must have been to cut it down that short
18:53 🔗 omf_ the new job a lock SmileyG ?
18:53 🔗 SmileyG close enough omf_
18:53 🔗 SmileyG the promise to my wife who works there,
18:53 🔗 SmileyG from someone she works closely with, if they screwed it up now, she'd go skitz
18:54 🔗 SmileyG and no one else has applied for it
18:54 🔗 omf_ There is no such thing as a sure thing in business
18:56 🔗 omf_ I hope you get the new job and the more monies :D
18:56 🔗 SmileyG exactly omf_
18:56 🔗 SmileyG even with the paper in hand, they could still say "aww no sorry we got it wrong"
18:56 🔗 SmileyG and I'd not be able to do anything anyway so <shrug>
18:57 🔗 ersi well, you're out of the current job one way or another
18:57 🔗 SmileyG and i'd turn it into a PR disaster for them.
18:58 🔗 omf_ there is always that
18:58 🔗 SmileyG with my wife being pregnant and all...
18:58 🔗 SmileyG the papers would love it.
18:59 🔗 SmileyG way i see it is
18:59 🔗 SmileyG this guy has risked getting himself in a lot of shit to get me this job
18:59 🔗 SmileyG they advertised it for like 4 days, when it was meant to be two weeks
18:59 🔗 SmileyG they haven't re-interviewed me, when they should have.
18:59 🔗 SmileyG and he promised it me with the fact he would turn down any other CV's
19:00 🔗 omf_ have any of that in writing?
19:01 🔗 SmileyG of course not ¬_¬
19:02 🔗 omf_ Then you better take notes of dates, times and phone calls
19:02 🔗 SmileyG there is proof they didn't reinterview me
19:02 🔗 SmileyG and that they havern't advertised it long enough
19:02 🔗 omf_ I hate the cover your ass culture in business but doing can be helpful
19:03 🔗 SmileyG yup of course it can
19:03 🔗 SmileyG If I could do so easily, I would be, but....
19:11 🔗 ersi Oh boy I'm glad to not be american
19:12 🔗 ersi Or wait, SmileyG's a brit? Can't remember
19:12 🔗 SmileyG yup
19:12 🔗 SmileyG ersi: I can say to them i want to wait
19:12 🔗 SmileyG however it means it'll be longer before i get to start, and theres another guy also stuck waiting for me
19:12 🔗 SmileyG also teh trainer is my friend, and she will be stuck too.
19:12 🔗 SmileyG If I wasn't 99.98% sure then I wouldn't do it.
19:12 🔗 omf_ business shit is mostly the same everywhere. Just cultural differences on how to pass the buck
19:12 🔗 SmileyG yah xD
19:13 🔗 ersi dunno though, I wouldn't be too afaid of it not working out
19:13 🔗 ersi then again, I've saved up plenty of buffer cash
19:13 🔗 SmileyG i think if that happened, meeeh, i'd work in mcd's until I sort something etc.
19:13 🔗 SmileyG I'm not on enough cash _yet_ that I couldn't cope
19:14 🔗 SmileyG once I get thi job, I will be... (once I get used to it)
19:14 🔗 ersi McD is suprisingly hard to get a job for
19:14 🔗 ersi then again, many college/university kids who stand in line there
19:14 🔗 SmileyG ersi: my point being I'd just work.
19:14 🔗 omf_ I would never do food services or retail. I would go back to factory work or construction
19:15 🔗 ersi SmileyG: aight
19:15 🔗 SmileyG Oh I hate retail, and I'd likely hate food too
19:15 🔗 SmileyG just.... example of a crappy job :D
19:15 🔗 omf_ Hard labor can be good for the soul
19:15 🔗 SmileyG Nod.
19:17 🔗 omf_ I worry about how out of shape people are in the computer industry. Colleagues never want to go do sports and shit. Instead it is lets go see a movie or hit the bar
19:18 🔗 omf_ Sitting all day is no good
19:18 🔗 omf_ and yet here I am sitting
19:18 🔗 ersi On a unrelated note, I met a Swedish GNOME and ex. Gentoo developer on the train and talked to him for a while (He was on his way home after GUADEC)
19:18 🔗 omf_ I am looking into setting up the desk next to mine as a stand up desk
19:18 🔗 ersi omf_: I got colleagues who sail, bike and.. train. A lot :o
19:18 🔗 ersi I feel really out of shape (then again, I am.. so I should..). Lost my "youth metabolism" recently
19:19 🔗 ersi ooh, I'd like to stand more than I do now.. Unfortunally out work desks sucks for that
19:19 🔗 omf_ Yeah I am going to move the monitors and keyboard, mouse up with crates
19:19 🔗 SmileyG ex gentoo, who was it?
19:19 🔗 omf_ Buying a standing desk is expensive
19:19 🔗 SmileyG omf_: hmmmm
19:19 🔗 omf_ if this works out I will build one
19:20 🔗 SmileyG about half the guys in the office go to the gym, a bet not so regularly atm.
19:20 🔗 SmileyG i'm in and out of good health myself, knees are playing up atm
19:20 🔗 omf_ that is why I bicycle SmileyG
19:20 🔗 omf_ easy on the knees
19:20 🔗 SmileyG omf_: with this new job I shall be able to.
19:20 🔗 SmileyG :)
19:20 🔗 omf_ then again I love cycling
19:20 🔗 ersi SmileyG: "Spider"
19:21 🔗 ersi omf_: Standing desk isn't that expensive
19:21 🔗 ersi It's like $200-300
19:21 🔗 ersi that's nothing in business money
19:21 🔗 omf_ I telecommute
19:21 🔗 omf_ I would have to pay that
19:21 🔗 ersi ah
19:21 🔗 omf_ I could build it using an existing desk I have for much less. I am all about reuse and tinkering
19:21 🔗 omf_ I will never deny being a hacker
19:22 🔗 SmileyG still like.... nothing for keeping healthy.
19:22 🔗 SmileyG I have a rather high desk, 85cm i have it at, atm
19:22 🔗 SmileyG but not quite high enough for standing
19:22 🔗 ersi I just sent that dev a mail (Spider)
19:23 🔗 omf_ I am going to try standing with no shoes
19:23 🔗 SmileyG ah ok ersi don't know the name
19:23 🔗 SmileyG no shoes is awesome.
19:23 🔗 ersi IMO it feels familiar, then again I was doing Gentoo like at least 3 years ago, maybe more
19:25 🔗 ersi Oh, he's done some OpenWRT work as well :o
19:27 🔗 omf_ It finally started raining. YAY! \o/
19:27 🔗 omf_ The 95% humidity can go away
19:28 🔗 SmileyG \o/
19:28 🔗 SmileyG we had 3 storms before it finally cleared here
19:28 🔗 SmileyG took a all day storm to get rid
19:28 🔗 omf_ it started yesterday. Sleep was painful
19:28 🔗 SmileyG the humidity?
19:28 🔗 SmileyG we had 2 weeks of solid 95%+
19:28 🔗 SmileyG and 27c in the house at 3am
19:28 🔗 omf_ I have trouble sleeping in the humitidy
19:28 🔗 SmileyG yup i hated it :/
19:29 🔗 SmileyG no sheet, no clothes, too hotttt
19:29 🔗 omf_ regular heat I beat with just a fan
19:34 🔗 ersi HAH, he actually has "Spider" in his legal name
19:34 🔗 ersi pretty cool
19:34 🔗 omf_ can't beat that
19:34 🔗 DFJustin isn't sweden that country that won't let you have wacky legal names
19:35 🔗 ersi no
19:35 🔗 ersi sure, they're restrictive - like they disallow super wacky ones like pipeline-vintervila (an actual refused name from a few years ago)
19:36 🔗 ersi but 'regular things' is alright
19:36 🔗 DFJustin http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6525475.stm
19:36 🔗 DFJustin ah
19:36 🔗 ersi in the end, it's up to the IRS to approve or refuse
19:37 🔗 ersi I have a friend whos middle names are Viking Butterfly Warrior
19:37 🔗 ersi :D
19:37 🔗 DFJustin still, it's more than other countries like the USA
19:37 🔗 DFJustin haha
19:37 🔗 ersi :D
20:18 🔗 Schbirid holy fuck lavabit
20:22 🔗 joepie91 ?
20:23 🔗 Schbirid http://lavabit.com/ is how you properly handle privacy when the government wants to snoop
20:23 🔗 Schbirid i wondered the whole day why i couldnt get my mails updated
20:24 🔗 joepie91 whoa.
20:30 🔗 * Schbirid hides under a tree
20:47 🔗 SmileyG time to start an iranian hosting company
21:03 🔗 ersi I like it that brewster has reviewed DEFCON Docu on IA
21:03 🔗 ersi :D
22:16 🔗 joepie91 http://i.imgur.com/W9AoBo0.png
22:16 🔗 joepie91 dfasdfasdfasdfasdf
22:16 🔗 joepie91 who designed this crap
22:32 🔗 DFJustin idgi
22:38 🔗 joepie91 that's the new chrome error page.
22:38 🔗 joepie91 notice the absence of a 'more info' button.
22:38 🔗 DFJustin what more info do you need for a dns error
22:40 🔗 Baljem nnfffgh. I had to use IE yesterday, to access an MS partner page
22:40 🔗 Baljem it threw a certificate error and put up the 'HERE BE DRAGONS' screen, telling me there was a problem with the certificate
22:40 🔗 Baljem but not what the problem was. no 'view certificate' anywhere that I could see.
22:40 🔗 Baljem Properties just showed me the details of the error page embedded in a DLL, not the page I was trying to view
22:41 🔗 Baljem eventually ended up clicking 'continue anyway', loading the page with a big red 'certificate error' in the address bar, and then opening the cert from there to find out what was wrong
22:41 🔗 Baljem now /that/'s crap design.
