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