| 00:58.24 | sorphin | scsi? |
| 00:58.27 | kergoth | needed to get my archives off of my ides |
| 00:58.28 | kergoth | yeah |
| 00:58.30 | sorphin | uh |
| 00:58.38 | sorphin | i wouldn't pay what you paid i'm sure |
| 00:58.46 | sorphin | scsi isn't worth the price premium anymore |
| 00:58.56 | kergoth | considering how many ide drives i've lost over the years, i'd say it is |
| 00:59.04 | sorphin | i've never lost one |
| 00:59.04 | kergoth | you're probably speaking just from a peormance perspective |
| 00:59.08 | sorphin | dude |
| 00:59.10 | sorphin | hate to tell you |
| 00:59.12 | sorphin | scsi drives |
| 00:59.14 | sorphin | and ide drives |
| 00:59.18 | sorphin | are the same mechanics |
| 00:59.20 | sorphin | all they do |
| 00:59.20 | chouimat|Zzzz | kergoth: and it's free the cpu too ;) |
| 00:59.23 | kergoth | compare the MTBF ratings sometime. |
| 00:59.23 | sorphin | is change the controller board |
| 00:59.30 | kergoth | i'd advise talking out of your ass less, and your mouth more |
| 01:00.09 | sorphin | kergoth: ok, then i guess someone who works for seagate doesn't know what they're talking about then eh? |

| 01:05.05 | chouimat|Zzzz | kergoth: ok sent |
| 01:08.50 | kergoth | i'll have to link sorphin some of the stats i just googled up. most ide drives have an mtbf of 600-700 thousand. most scsi have 1.2 million. |
| 01:08.53 | kergoth | enterprise level |

| 13:51.50 | prpplague | i don't see how this patent could be accepted |
| 13:51.51 | prpplague | http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/05/09/09/0629256.shtml?tid=155&tid=95&tid=98 |
| 13:56.03 | prpplague | cool, the ipod nano has a nand flash module |
| 13:56.08 | prpplague | really nice design |
| 13:56.31 | CosmicPenguin | Here's a question - has Amazon ever defended one of their patents? |
| 13:57.22 | prpplague | don't know |
| 13:57.26 | prpplague | still |
| 13:57.39 | prpplague | that patent could be a real problem for symbol, intermec and aml |
| 13:57.45 | prpplague | as well as HHP |
| 13:58.16 | prpplague | there is so much prior art for that, i don't know how they could get it approved |
| 13:58.48 | CosmicPenguin | It looks like the intention is to patent something like the cue-cat, rather then a handheld scanner |
| 13:59.11 | CosmicPenguin | The devil is in the details, I guess - the summary never tells the whole story |
| 14:00.38 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: if you read the actual wording, its about taking a picture of something and then retrieving information about that item |
| 14:00.52 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: well all imaging barcode scanners take pictures |
| 14:01.16 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: plus a company already owns a patent on taking pictures of barcodes via a cell phone |
| 14:01.34 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: so there are already patents to some extent and tons of prior art |
| 14:01.48 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: that application is way to vague to be approved |
| 14:03.06 | prpplague | first line in that application: |
| 14:03.08 | prpplague | "A method for communicating information regarding a selected item to a user present at the location of a first entity, the method comprising: receiving an image from an imaging device, wherein the image contains identifying data associated with the selected item as provided by the first entity; extracting the identifying data from the image; using the identifying data to obtain item information associated with the selected item from a second ent |
| 14:03.08 | prpplague | ity that is different than the first entity; and communicating the item information from the second entity to the imaging device for delivery to the user while the user remains present at the location of the first entity" |
| 14:03.20 | prpplague | thats the description of a imaging barcode scanner |

| 14:34.00 | kergoth | hey |
| 14:34.20 | T0mW | file[laptop]: like grease |
| 14:34.46 | T0mW | or crabgrass |
| 14:34.59 | file[laptop] | or the stubborn old man who won't die :P |
| 14:35.08 | T0mW | file[laptop]: you play with asterix yet? |
| 14:35.24 | file[laptop] | you mean asterisk? |
| 14:36.06 | T0mW | yeah, I've someone that has 24/7 in his office and stores. he would like to use something other than the phone company to make calls between his four locations. |
| 14:36.18 | file[laptop] | 'tis my job. |
| 14:36.28 | T0mW | I was looking at maybe asterisk? |
| 14:36.36 | file[laptop] | that would work for it |
| 14:36.46 | T0mW | file[laptop]: is it stable? |
| 14:37.03 | file[laptop] | if you set it up properly, and don't try anything funky - yes, it can be stable |
| 14:37.24 | T0mW | ok, I'll put that on my list of 'look ats' then |
| 14:38.27 | T0mW | I have only one other thing to say gentlemen: SATA SUXS! BIG TIME |
| 14:39.39 | T0mW | idiot customer ordered a plextor 716SA because "it was the latest & greatest". The SATA controller conflicts with the Adaptec 2940 |
| 14:40.28 | T0mW | chouimat: you still paying your bills? |
| 14:40.41 | chouimat | T0mW: yes ... |
| 14:40.50 | T0mW | chouimat: this is a "good thing" then |
| 14:41.26 | chouimat | T0mW: yup ... but I'm getting more and more bored ... so I will probably sit down and write the business plan soon |
| 14:41.49 | T0mW | chouimat: I got a contract to keep me alive until the Spring. It wasn't what I wanted for it, if I wasn't so hard up for money I would have held out for more. |
| 14:45.54 | chouimat | T0mW: currently thinking about making a simple distro probably based on suse 10.0, with KDE and multimedia to be used in a museum, I don't have the contract yet but I want to be ready as soon as possible |
| 14:51.52 | T0mW | chouimat: yeah, I did that: MunchiesLinux. I use that for the one customer who has several Kentucky Fried Chicken stores. A computer went down recently and it only took an hour to take a blank machine, install the distro and have it preconfigured for that store. |
| 14:52.32 | file[laptop] | hrm 12... I should probably get to work, but food first - er well maybe sorta |
| 14:52.37 | T0mW | Win4Lin, openvpn, firefox, thunderbird, etc.. All configured for that location. |
| 14:53.06 | chouimat | T0mW: I want also to be able to use the same thing for groupware/samba/asterisk stuff |
| 14:55.22 | T0mW | chouimat: it was based on the Mandrake 10.1 distro. The only headache was customizing gi (Graphics Install) so that it would put a win4lin capable kernel in as a default bootable. Most everything else was done in the RPMs (media/media_info/*) |
| 14:56.35 | T0mW | chouimat: then, I would have one file: /home/configure.sh. I can then do './configure <storename>', that would then pull in the rest of the RPMs and invoke configuration scripts to customize settings. |
| 14:59.54 | chouimat | T0mW: currently playing with yast-instserver module ... might be interesting for what I want to do :) |
| 15:03.59 | T0mW | chouimat: I installed the base system and packages I specified in media/media_info/[rpmsrate,compssUsers.pl]. Then the rest of the customization was a series of RPMs I'd built which went in after the first system boot. Mandrake does it differently from SuSE, SuSE installs basic stuff, then reboots the REAL installer. Mandrake's installer is a one-pass. |
| 15:04.45 | chouimat | T0mW: I tried mandrake last month and I iddn't liked it so |
| 15:05.04 | T0mW | I don't like the SuSE runlevel stuff, looks like an abortion |
| 15:05.58 | T0mW | chouimat: heh, I own stock in Novell |

| 16:39.52 | T0mW | ah |
| 16:40.43 | T0mW | then, best bet is a eprom programmer type thingy. e.g. BP Microsystems, Needham Electronics, ... |
| 16:41.05 | prpplague | T0mW: hmm, thats a little overkill + no linux support |
| 16:41.16 | T0mW | shrug, vmware works for me |
| 16:41.30 | prpplague | T0mW: hmm, you can dcc a file? |
| 16:41.47 | T0mW | I'm assuming that you want to program raw chips, then solder them onto the board. |
| 16:42.13 | T0mW | production purposes |
| 16:44.07 | prpplague | T0mW: sorta, the smartmedia cards are standard flash |

| 18:24.02 | prpplague | hmm, looks like you can use a custom firmware on several different usb->smartmedia readers |
| 18:43.48 | T0mW | prpplague: probably could find a "better way" to do it. But, sometimes, it is a question of getting it done, or, getting it done elegantly |
| 18:44.14 | prpplague | T0mW: i want something i can replicate |
| 18:44.49 | prpplague | T0mW: i intend on working with nand alot so i really something versital to do some reading and writing |
| 18:44.57 | prpplague | T0mW: but i understand what you are saying |
| 18:46.34 | T0mW | well, if you were going to use a lot of various nand / nor flash media type thingys.. Maybe look at a reader, something that you can mount the device as a block device. Then you can always 'dd' the data back / forth |
| 18:46.57 | prpplague | T0mW: right, really nor flash isn't an issue |
| 18:47.03 | prpplague | T0mW: thats easy to deal with |
| 18:47.05 | *** join/#elinux Genesis (n=genesis@dev.aimao.org) |
| 18:47.09 | prpplague | T0mW: its the nand thats the issue |
| 18:48.20 | Genesis | bonsoir |
| 18:48.23 | prpplague | T0mW: ideally, an off the shelf usb->smartmedia adapter with a custom firmware would be what i'd like to see |
| 18:49.20 | T0mW | prpplague: got the parts in the other day for the LPC2106 / LPC2138 board. Now, to check the parts against the pcb gerbers to make sure I can solder them to their footprints. |
| 18:49.38 | prpplague | T0mW: fun |
| 18:49.52 | T0mW | prpplague: that is the job for this weekend, verify the gerber and put the pcb order in. |
| 18:49.52 | prpplague | T0mW: i was actually considering ordering a lpc2138 for this |
| 18:50.10 | T0mW | prpplague: lpc2106 has 64K RAM... |

| 18:53.42 | T0mW | kergoth: more like that language will make your brain fart |
| 18:53.44 | kergoth | hehe. {} is a table. passing a table to the new() function to initialize the class |
| 18:54.39 | T0mW | kergoth: why don't you try something simpler, like do so dereferencing of perl hash arrays of hashes? |
| 18:54.54 | T0mW | :) |
| 18:55.04 | kergoth | heh |
| 18:55.04 | chouimat | T0mW: he proobably want to be able to read the code after |
| 18:55.10 | T0mW | lol |
| 18:55.13 | kergoth | lua is commonly used as a configuration language, and glue/logic language |
| 18:55.33 | kergoth | its used by monotone for its source control stuff internally, by world of warcraft for UI logic, the ion window manager for configuration, etc |
| 18:55.40 | kergoth | clean, small, fast, easy to embed |
| 18:55.44 | T0mW | ... anything but derefing perl hash arrays |
| 18:55.49 | kergoth | and relatively easy for non-programmers to understand |
