| 00:01.21 | lcuk | wazd, you should know to store something like that as png |
| 00:02.22 | wazd | lcuk: that's not hte format problem |
| 00:02.51 | wazd | lcuk: I have .psd opened and it shows the same |
| 00:03.44 | wazd | thats because of small-steped gradients on large space |
| 00:03.53 | Grackle | I think it's just the way photoshop rendered it. |
| 00:03.54 | Grackle | yeah |
| 00:04.08 | Grackle | It does not look like a dithering problem or a compression problem |
| 00:04.20 | lcuk | ok, where did the photoshop come from.. |
| 00:04.41 | Grackle | Well, there are some artifacts in the very dark areas. |
| 00:05.04 | Grackle | And some ugly dithering but I think that's my screen and not the image. |
| 00:05.31 | Grackle | is 3" away from his screen to see that, so :P |
| 00:06.00 | lcuk | its showing gradient changes of 2 units at a time and when its changing both blue and green its a visible step, it just so happens that jpeg renders the UV frames at half resolution so a totally smooth original source would end up with the stepping by default |

| 00:19.21 | Grackle | haha really? :| |
| 00:19.28 | tehforum | thats what i did |
| 00:19.30 | tehforum | lol |
| 00:19.50 | Grackle | Most people I know have used inux for a long time so I don't know of that trend. |
| 00:19.55 | Grackle | linux too |
| 00:20.14 | tehforum | I heard about Ubuntu quite a bit |
| 00:20.21 | tehforum | but was satisfied with xp |
| 00:20.41 | lcuk | i come from a windows background, im still involved in it and still have to read publications and forums n stuff relating to it all |
| 00:20.48 | Grackle | I think it's a good thing. More users means better support from vendors, no matter who those users are. |
| 00:20.50 | tehforum | but when i got my new computer, i decided to try ubuntu with a disc i requested a few months before |
| 00:21.18 | lcuk | ideal time isnt it :) |
| 00:22.36 | jakemaheu | i've tried build 6801 and it was sweet, fast (comparable to xp), and beautiful |
| 00:23.07 | Grackle | Is networking less of a mess in Windows 7? |
| 00:23.24 | Grackle | Less of a mess than it is in Vista, that is. |
| 00:23.36 | b-man | from my sorces, yes :) |
| 00:23.44 | jakemaheu | what do you mean? |
| 00:24.17 | Grackle | I really despise Vista's network setup utilities. I have spent hours fucking with various people's vista laptops just so we could play games. :( |
| 00:24.36 | Grackle | I'm sure it's not so bad if you're used to it, but it really could be made a more intuitive process. |
| 00:24.39 | jakemaheu | i see |
| 00:24.49 | jakemaheu | i've used xp since it came out |
| 00:25.41 | b-man | from my information, the networking diologs have ben re-designed and they're placing it on the taskbar for easy acsess. :p |
| 00:26.09 | b-man | yes, i know, not enough info :p |
| 00:26.22 | lcuk | xp window manager still has raw speed and usability advantage over gnome or kde or others ive tried, but app wise i run OSS :) |
| 00:26.25 | Grackle | Hah, well I remain optimistic. |
| 00:26.42 | Grackle | haha usability :| |
| 00:26.51 | Grackle | I think you're just used to it, lcuk. |
| 00:26.56 | lcuk | it does what i expect it to do |
| 00:27.04 | Grackle | Yeah. |

| 06:06.08 | AFBN810 | speaking of colors GA do I need to follow some kind of color pattern for moble theme of talk.maemo.org? |

| 09:00.08 | johnx | yeah, I got a chance to try most of the netbook keyboards side-by-side |
| 09:00.30 | johnx | hp's the only one that didn't feel cramped. some combination of layout and the actual shape of the keys |
| 09:01.30 | wazd | johnx: yep, I'm using it as my main PC since my desktop video gone to ardware heaven :) |

| 09:04.00 | RST38h | WTH is multiply.com ? |
| 09:05.00 | RST38h | wazd,johnx: Just buy yourself a real subnotebook like Portege R-series and stop drooling over quasiPCs |
| 09:05.27 | wazd | RST38h: hello there) |
| 09:05.34 | johnx | RST38h, Soon as you throw me the difference in cash :P |
| 09:05.48 | wazd | RST38h: Actually I don't need that much power mobile |
| 09:06.01 | RST38h | johnx: Make it work for you :) |
| 09:06.16 | wazd | RST38h: So I don't want to pay for stuff I'd never use :) |
| 09:06.26 | RST38h | wazd: netbooks are not very mobile - don't fit into a pocket, can't be used on the go |
| 09:06.47 | RST38h | wazd: but I actually use a subnote as a desktop replacement, so not paying anything extra |
| 09:06.50 | johnx | though actually, depending on the portege's screen size/weight/keyboard I might be happier with the hp anyways |
| 09:07.20 | wazd | RST38h: for pocketable things I have n800, and I never used a notebook on the go, even the tablet one) |
| 09:07.22 | roope | I think there is the pocket form factor and then there is the laptop form factor, but I'm not really convinced of the form factor in the middle. |
| 09:07.25 | RST38h | johnx: Won't be - both screen and keyboard are physically larger and the weight is 1.25kg. |
| 09:07.40 | roope | too big to be pocketable, too small to be really used like a laptop. |
| 09:07.44 | johnx | so it's more expensive and less portable? |
| 09:07.45 | AstralSt | well, we need more foldable screens and keyboards |
| 09:08.00 | AstralSt | oh, wait |
| 09:08.05 | AstralSt | we don't have video out on n810 |
| 09:08.08 | RST38h | wazd: Yep. But because netbooks aren't really mobile, why bother with them at all? |
| 09:08.17 | AstralSt | I hope that this issue will be rectified in n9xx |
| 09:08.25 | RST38h | johnx: It is as portable as any netbook |
| 09:08.41 | wazd | RST38h: mine is mobile :) I can take it to my country and work there a bit :) |
| 09:08.45 | RST38h | johnx: More expensive, yes, but you get what you pay for |
| 09:08.56 | AstralSt | wazd: that kind of mobility I have with my standard laptop |
| 09:09.07 | RST38h | wazd: I can do the same with any laptop really |
| 09:09.08 | johnx | RST38h, what if I don't need the part I'd be paying more for? |
| 09:09.12 | AstralSt | (no, not a 17" monster) |
| 09:09.37 | RST38h | johnx: I do not believe you won't need a bigger screen, more comfortable keyboard, and more responsive CPU |
| 09:09.56 | AstralSt | for mobile work, n810 is almost excellent |
| 09:10.05 | johnx | RST38h, you haven't actually tried the hp mini keyboard, have you? |
| 09:10.12 | RST38h | johnx: Even if you are a linux freak, the linux analog of "make world" is going to take much less time on a real computer |
| 09:10.22 | AstralSt | n9xx with external foldable keyboard and screen would be even better |
| 09:10.23 | johnx | RST38h, I use a binary distro :P |
| 09:10.23 | wazd | RST38h: HP has 100% comfortable kb and pretty responsive CPU :) |
| 09:10.39 | RST38h | johnx: No, but I know for sure that it is smaller i.e. less comfortable |
| 09:10.54 | AstralSt | yeah, netbooks are a niche that doesn't exist really |
| 09:11.01 | AstralSt | but gullible people still buy them |
| 09:11.03 | AstralSt | ;P |
| 09:11.03 | pupnik | netbooks are still space/weight saving if you are carrying a bag (for e.g. with books and stuff) |
| 09:11.11 | RST38h | Astral: This niche is called "dirt cheap laptops" |
| 09:11.11 | johnx | RST38h, so, I've used the keyboard, you haven't, and you're telling me it's less comfortable? |
| 09:11.11 | AstralSt | meh |
| 09:11.20 | RST38h | Astral: it exists all right |
| 09:11.21 | pupnik | agree with RST38h |
| 09:11.27 | AstralSt | RST38h: can't just buy an older one? :P |
| 09:11.35 | AstralSt | instead of having an underpowered netbook? |
| 09:11.46 | RST38h | Astral: Probably not, laptops do not live more than 2-3 years nowadays |
| 09:11.56 | AstralSt | yes, they don't |
| 09:11.59 | AstralSt | due to battery |
| 09:12.00 | wazd | AstralSt: who told you it's underpowered? |
| 09:12.11 | AstralSt | wazd: if it's a netbook, it certainly is |
| 09:12.15 | RST38h | johnx: With keyboards, you can judge by physical size without trying |
| 09:12.29 | RST38h | johnx: Given the same size, you would have to test them of course to know |
| 09:12.29 | johnx | RST38h, O_o |
| 09:12.30 | wazd | RST38h: actually you can't |
| 09:12.41 | AstralSt | oh, yes you can |
| 09:12.54 | *** join/#maemo trickie (n=trickie@hgaulton.xs4all.nl) |
| 09:12.57 | wazd | RST38h: you can make 100% sized keyboard unusable |
| 09:13.02 | RST38h | wazd: you can, as long as you keep in mind that size isn't the only criterion |
| 09:13.03 | johnx | RST38h, I'm sorry to do this but I think the most correct expression would be "lolwut?" |
| 09:13.15 | AstralSt | wazd: unless it's designed to be useless, no |
| 09:13.26 | AstralSt | if it's a default design, then you can |
| 09:13.34 | RST38h | johnx: Smaller keyboard BAD. Bigger keyboard GOOD. Understand? :) |
| 09:13.37 | AstralSt | (or close enough to one) |
| 09:13.49 | wazd | RST38h: wrong again |
| 09:13.53 | AstralSt | RST38h: of course, unless it's too big |
| 09:13.54 | aquatix | RST38h: except that there can be bad big keyboards and excellent small ones |
| 09:13.55 | AstralSt | :) |
| 09:14.06 | AstralSt | yeah, of standard design? |
| 09:14.07 | wazd | RST38h: Optimus Maximus is very big keyboard |
| 09:14.14 | AstralSt | ^^^^ |
| 09:14.16 | johnx | RST38h, I've tested it and it seems just fine for me. do you own some stock in Toshiba or something? |
| 09:14.23 | wazd | RST38h: And it sucks like a vacum on typing |
| 09:14.24 | AstralSt | we're talking about standard designs, not weird ones |
| 09:14.26 | RST38h | aquatix: there can be. as a general rule though, bigger keyboard good. |
| 09:14.33 | aquatix | RST38h: of course |
| 09:14.43 | aquatix | as you have more room |
| 09:14.47 | wazd | AstralSt: what is standart design? |
| 09:15.01 | wazd | AstralSt: Mitsumi original? |
| 09:15.05 | AstralSt | normal rectangular or almost-rectangular qwerty |
| 09:15.08 | RST38h | wazd: I won't even discuss THAT to avoid Russian-specific politically incorrect humor. |
| 09:15.10 | wazd | AstralSt: typewrigter? |
| 09:15.16 | AstralSt | like, Chicony old Winkeyboard |
| 09:15.29 | AstralSt | or that old IBM keyboards |
| 09:15.34 | AstralSt | that's the standard design |
| 09:15.39 | AstralSt | *those |
| 09:15.46 | RST38h | johnx: I don't really, but the Porteges are subnotebook I know well |
| 09:15.50 | AstralSt | forgot how they look, eh? |
| 09:15.52 | wazd | Astral: what the heck is "rectangular qwerty"?) |
| 09:15.52 | aquatix | mitsumi original comes close too i think |
| 09:16.03 | RST38h | johnx: You can probably go with other brands as well, as long as general specs are close |
| 09:16.07 | johnx | RST38h, WTF? The Portege starts at $1400. The HP I specced is $380 |
| 09:16.21 | AstralSt | wazd: non-broken non-curved qwerty keyboard |
| 09:16.25 | RST38h | johnx: You get what you pay for. |
| 09:16.29 | johnx | RST38h, I need this for an ssh session and an xterm. |
| 09:16.38 | johnx | and a web browser, music player |
| 09:16.46 | johnx | maybe some standard def video |
| 09:16.47 | wazd | AstralSt: well, Microsoft Ergo Kb is way cooler than original :) |
| 09:16.52 | RST38h | johnx: Why do you need to spend extra $380 for that? Don't you already have a computer? |
| 09:16.56 | johnx | Why in the F would I pay $1000 extras? |
| 09:16.57 | AstralSt | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Keyboard-wireless-black.jpg - like this one |
| 09:16.58 | aquatix | johnx: sounds like a netbook is great for the job |
| 09:17.01 | wazd | AstralSt: every iser will tell you that :) |
| 09:17.04 | AstralSt | except all the added keys |
| 09:17.06 | AstralSt | wazd: yeah yeah |
| 09:17.13 | johnx | RST38h, it's in a micro atx case. doesn't really fit in my lap huh? |
| 09:17.17 | AstralSt | except most of these suck :> |
| 09:17.17 | aquatix | johnx: my girlfriend has the samsung nc10; excellent 10" netbook with great keyboard |
| 09:17.25 | aquatix | and great battery life too |
| 09:17.28 | bef0rd | wazd, nice logo/wallpaper |
| 09:17.38 | RST38h | johnx: Why not dump it and just buy a real laptop for all purposes? |
| 09:17.39 | wazd | bef0rd: thanks) |
| 09:17.51 | aquatix | wazd: url? |
| 09:17.52 | johnx | RST38h, $1000! I've owned cars that cost less! |
| 09:17.59 | aquatix | johnx: :) |
| 09:18.03 | AstralSt | aquatix: well, so what's the best thing about that one? |
| 09:18.07 | AstralSt | that it can run apps? :P |
| 09:18.13 | RST38h | johnx: Ah you cheapskate =) |
| 09:18.14 | AstralSt | definitely not the price |
| 09:18.16 | wazd | http://s45.radikal.ru/i108/0901/ad/7d0a5e67d3db.jpg |
| 09:18.24 | AstralSt | and it's not a netbook |
| 09:18.27 | johnx | RST38h, it's called priorities |
| 09:18.29 | AstralSt | just a subnotebook |

| 09:18.49 | RST38h | johnx: Dunno, to me it is having more electronic junk in the house |
| 09:18.52 | AstralSt | I have a real laptop that costs less |
| 09:18.58 | mavhc | it's only a netbook if it has an ssd, hdd based ones don't count |
| 09:19.00 | AstralSt | and it does its job very well |
| 09:19.07 | aquatix | but does that one do 7 to 8 hours straight on battery? |
| 09:19.12 | RST38h | johnx: I would rather spend that $1000 and have a single portable machine to use |
| 09:19.12 | aquatix | and weigh 1.3kg? |
| 09:19.19 | Jaffa | still has a proper netBook upstairs :-) |
| 09:19.21 | wazd | I don't get that argue :) What everybody tries to prove everyone?) |
| 09:19.29 | AstralSt | aquatix: not, just 4h |
| 09:19.29 | aquatix | wazd: not sure either :) |
| 09:19.31 | RST38h | johnx: All of my computers have paid for themselves multiple times |
| 09:19.33 | AstralSt | and 2x the weight |
| 09:19.43 | mavhc | Jaffa: apparently psion want to sue people, who knew they still existed |
| 09:19.43 | AstralSt | aquatix: for portability, my n810 is good |
| 09:19.45 | aquatix | i was just saying that for johnx' needs, a netbook is just fine |
| 09:19.48 | AstralSt | ;P |
| 09:20.02 | RST38h | wazd: As always, that THEIRS is bigger/longer/harder |
| 09:20.10 | aquatix | AstralSt: i have an n810 and a 13" subnotebook and that's fine for me too |
| 09:20.21 | aquatix | doesn't need a netbook |
| 09:20.23 | AstralSt | why do you need a subnotebook if you have n810? |
| 09:20.25 | wazd | RST38h: Ah, ok :) |
| 09:20.29 | aquatix | but i was just saying that they have their place |
| 09:20.31 | AstralSt | normal laptop is portable aplenty |
| 09:20.35 | johnx | RST38h, I've owned plenty of computers. This isn't my first time around the block. I appreciate the advice I suppose, I just wonder why you're so insistent... |
| 09:20.36 | AstralSt | ;) |
| 09:20.42 | aquatix | AstralSt: what part of "my girlfriend" didn't you get? |
| 09:20.47 | AstralSt | ah, right |
| 09:20.49 | AstralSt | no logic |
| 09:20.49 | RST38h | johnx: Not really insistent |
| 09:20.50 | aquatix | (heh, all of it ;) |
| 09:20.53 | AstralSt | forgot about that part |
| 09:20.59 | RST38h | johnx: Just fail to understand the logic |
| 09:21.11 | wazd | ok, why netbooks are bad?) |
| 09:21.17 | RST38h | johnx: If I were a cheapskate, I wouldn't buy a second computer at all |
| 09:21.29 | RST38h | johnx: If I weren't a cheapskate, I wouldn't buy a netbook |
| 09:21.37 | Jaffa | mavhc: They still sell netBook (Pro) stuff - but to big industrial/OEM customers; hence all the /. wailing of "wah, they stopped selling stuff ages ago". I wonder who got Acorn's "netPad" trademark (I think Psion had a portable, keyboardless device called the netPad, too) |
| 09:21.46 | wazd | they ave standart keyboards, 8 hours of wi-fi, descent screens and adequate CPU HP |
| 09:21.50 | RST38h | johnx: So, any point of view in the middle is lost to me :) |
| 09:21.57 | wazd | What's bad on them?) |
| 09:22.03 | mavhc | netbooks are bad if you don't care about size because a full sized cheap laptop is the same price |
| 09:22.03 | johnx | RST38h, $1000 represents a different amount of money to different people... |
| 09:22.14 | Jaffa | RST38h: Perhaps other people have different requirements and priorities to you? |
| 09:22.14 | wazd | they can't play crysis for sure |
| 09:22.22 | aquatix | wazd: i think people mind the less-than-whoa-fast! processors |
| 09:22.26 | aquatix | wazd: yeah :/ |
| 09:22.34 | aquatix | but that's not where they are intended for anyway |
| 09:22.34 | mavhc | if your laptop can play crysis you can't carry it |
| 09:22.43 | aquatix | my girlfriend couldn't be happier with her netbook |
| 09:22.44 | RST38h | Jaffa: The thing is that what you said still does not explain why one would buy a netbook |
| 09:23.05 | aquatix | RST38h: because it doesn't cause a hernia? |
| 09:23.20 | RST38h | aquatix: I am sure it does! =) |
| 09:23.26 | mavhc | you buy a netbook if you have a desktop and don't use a laptop much |
| 09:23.33 | Vulcanis | does not cause hernia |
| 09:23.43 | Vulcanis | causes cancer in california |
| 09:23.45 | wazd | so I don't actually get why I have to pay 1400 bucks instead of 400 for totaly same functionality :) |
| 09:23.49 | AstralSt | wazd: nice, but then, n810 has 5h of wifi and is more portable :) I can type about 70% as fast on it |
| 09:23.58 | aquatix | Vulcanis: what doesn't? ;) |
| 09:24.11 | RST38h | wazd: Not the same functionality - netbooks have smaller, lower quality LCDs, slower CPUs, smaller keyboards |
| 09:24.13 | mavhc | wazd: you pay for the dvd drive, fast cpu, high res screen |
| 09:24.17 | Vulcanis | aquatix: Nokia products |
| 09:24.23 | aquatix | heh :) |
| 09:24.27 | wazd | mavhc: I have 1280x720 screen |
| 09:24.27 | Jaffa | RST38h: How about these two OTTOMH... 1) someone has a powerful desktop, but needs a nice, small, cheap machine for lightweight tasks when travelling; 2) someone has a bad back/neck, but still travels. can't afford an expensive lightweight laptop and doesn't need the oomph anyway |
| 09:24.36 | RST38h | wazd: On the other hand, I hope netbooks wil help bringing laptop prices down ;) |
| 09:24.39 | AstralSt | wazd: I can extend to 7h if using bluetooth for connectivity |
| 09:24.41 | wazd | mavhc: Pretty high-res |
| 09:24.46 | AstralSt | but, my cell phone will die sooner ;P |
| 09:25.00 | RST38h | JaffaL I would go with a smartphone or a NIT for these usage cases |
| 09:25.10 | mavhc | wazd: on which netbook? |
| 09:25.11 | RST38h | Jaffa: In fact, I DO go with a NIT for them =) |
| 09:25.18 | wazd | mavhc: HP 2133 |
| 09:25.38 | AstralSt | NIT even can be easily used for browsing (unexpected, eh?) |
| 09:25.43 | AstralSt | unlike most smartphones |
| 09:25.44 | wazd | mavhc: new 2140 has even higher res |
| 09:25.44 | Jaffa | RST38h: Yes, *you* do. I find typing lots on the NIT tedious. And Nokia've hardly advertised them well. |
| 09:26.05 | AstralSt | Jaffa: I guess because NITs aren't a "done" product yet |
| 09:26.22 | Vulcanis | they advertized them at all? |
| 09:26.22 | mavhc | pre netbook all small laptops were high end, they're just low end small laptops, with SSDs |
| 09:26.22 | Jaffa | Netbooks also "do" the web better than NITs,have more variety, can be cheaper and are *known* |
| 09:26.22 | RST38h | Jaffa: I don't type much on a NIT really, although typing is a bitch, even with an external keyboard |
| 09:26.22 | AstralSt | I think they're trying to evolve them into next-gen smartphones |
| 09:26.33 | aquatix | RST38h: eh, try typing on a paper/thesis in TeX for some hours on a NIT |
| 09:26.37 | AstralSt | well, I do type a bit on my n810, and it's nice |
| 09:26.42 | AstralSt | code, actually |
| 09:26.44 | AstralSt | :) |
| 09:26.45 | mavhc | NITs are smartphones without the phone |
| 09:26.47 | wazd | sooo |
| 09:26.49 | RST38h | aquatix: I have had a desktop for that |
| 09:26.58 | wazd | What's bad on netbooks?) |
| 09:26.59 | AstralSt | mavhc: yes, and n9xx will have that fixed |
| 09:27.02 | aquatix | RST38h: not in the plain/train/park bench you don't |
| 09:27.05 | RST38h | aquatix: And if I need to do it on the road, Portege R100 is only 1.25kg |
| 09:27.05 | Jaffa | RST38h: Right, so if someone wnated to type, say, a few emails whilst on a train/plane; what's the best device category for them? |
| 09:27.07 | wazd | Except the price ofcourse) |
| 09:27.16 | aquatix | RST38h: and only $1000 more? |
| 09:27.27 | RST38h | Jaffa: My E70 does email typing very very nicely |
| 09:27.33 | aquatix | a netbook you about literally throw into your bga |
| 09:27.35 | aquatix | *bag |
| 09:27.39 | AstralSt | RST38h: oh, n810 does too |
| 09:27.42 | RST38h | aquatix: I have no desktop. For me it is +$1000 -price of desktop |
| 09:27.54 | mavhc | so $700 |
| 09:27.59 | AstralSt | I have a "mobile desktop" class of laptop |
| 09:28.02 | RST38h | Astral: Actually, no. E70 is way better than any other mobile device at this ;) |
| 09:28.04 | AstralSt | and n810 |
| 09:28.14 | Vulcanis | I have an ultraportable laptop |
| 09:28.23 | AstralSt | Vulcanis: as in pocketable? |
| 09:28.24 | wazd | AstralSt: ultraport is not DTR) |
| 09:28.24 | AstralSt | :P |
| 09:28.31 | RST38h | mavhc: Nope. A desktop will cost you around $500, no less. Add $300 for a monitor |
| 09:28.32 | aquatix | has an ultraportable too, and a lovely n810 |
| 09:28.37 | Vulcanis | AstralSt: About 3lb |
| 09:28.38 | Jaffa | RST38h: Not everyone has an E70! Are you deliberately trolling now, or just saying that anyone who has a netbook (incl. johnx and wazd) haven't considered things properly? |
| 09:28.40 | RST38h | mavhc: So for me it is +$200 |
| 09:28.50 | Vulcanis | but between my Thinkpad X60 and n800, I don't really need too much more |
| 09:28.59 | AstralSt | Jaffa: obviously the latter |
| 09:29.01 | mavhc | what's the price of an e70? |
| 09:29.11 | AstralSt | mavhc: google is your friend, or nokia.com |
| 09:29.13 | AstralSt | :P |
| 09:29.18 | RST38h | Jaffa: First of all, I am ALWAYS deliberately trolling, in the definition you are using :) |
| 09:29.20 | Vulcanis | I don't really see why everyone wants the netbooks |
| 09:29.24 | aquatix | Jaffa: i think we should just accept that RST38h doesn't see the advantage a netbook can have for someone who doesn't already own a smartphone, NIT and desktop |
| 09:29.38 | AstralSt | no need for a smartphone |
| 09:29.42 | mavhc | Vulcanis: because they're cheap laptops |
| 09:29.47 | bef0rd | the cool factor |
| 09:29.47 | RST38h | Jaffa: Secondly, all I am trying to say is that netbooks fall into some category that I can't imagine a use for |
| 09:29.53 | aquatix | Vulcanis: my gf uses it as her own computer, aside from her palmtop |
| 09:29.57 | mavhc | people always want cheap things |
| 09:30.08 | wazd | RST38h: notebook for poor slaves |
| 09:30.10 | aquatix | Vulcanis: it's conveniently small, light and gets her stuff done |
| 09:30.12 | Jaffa | RST38h: Yes, but you have to accept THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN! |
| 09:30.16 | RST38h | wazd: Maybe, yes |
| 09:30.19 | johnx | RST38h, sometimes, there are products aimed at other people than you |
| 09:30.21 | qwerty12 | RST38h, you seem to insist on making everyone think they way you do. |
| 09:30.23 | aquatix | Jaffa: indeed |
| 09:30.26 | Vulcanis | mavhc: But they're crap! Its like people who buy 400$ dells expecting them to last. Sure, they're better built, but I doubt they will last |
| 09:30.28 | qwerty12 | s/they/the |
| 09:30.29 | wazd | RST38h: so, whats the deal) |
| 09:30.29 | mavhc | that's why they make more than 1 product |
| 09:30.30 | AstralSt | Jaffa: actually, they'd be better with other hardware most of the time |
| 09:30.38 | Vulcanis | I haven't seen anything but an eee in person, but it just doesn't feel... right. |
| 09:30.39 | mavhc | Vulcanis: how are they crap? |
| 09:30.39 | aquatix | wanders off |
| 09:30.49 | AstralSt | with a netbook, you can't run any performance-intensive stuff |
| 09:30.52 | aquatix | Vulcanis: Eee's don't feel right here too |
| 09:30.54 | Jaffa | ditto. Babies to sort |
| 09:30.59 | Vulcanis | mavhc: I guess its more just the obsolescence thing. |
| 09:31.00 | mavhc | they're less likely to break than a laptop, no HDD |
| 09:31.10 | AstralSt | and vs a NIT, you gain weight, larger screen and keyboard |
| 09:31.10 | aquatix | but an Acer Aspire One or Samsung NC10 are actually usable |
| 09:31.14 | RST38h | Jaffa: Well, other people are trying to explain to me, but there are some logical problems with explanations |
| 09:31.18 | johnx | Vudentz, true. the eee kinda sucks :) there are many better choices |
| 09:31.22 | AstralSt | and some hd space |
| 09:31.34 | aquatix | 160GB even in the NC10 ;) |
| 09:31.36 | aquatix | anyways |
| 09:31.39 | AstralSt | aquatix: and more expensive too? :P |
| 09:31.44 | mavhc | it's not a netbook with an HDD |
| 09:31.46 | aquatix | AstralSt: depends |
| 09:31.46 | RST38h | Jaffa: it is like someone explaining the virtues of having a bicycle |
| 09:31.57 | johnx | RST38h, I wasn't even talking to you about netbooks. O_o |
| 09:32.03 | AstralSt | aquatix: NC10 has a list price or 500$ |
| 09:32.08 | RST38h | Jaffa: You know, healthy, 2-hour morning trips to work, etc |
| 09:32.09 | aquatix | AstralSt: last time i looked, the Eee 10" was about the same |
| 09:32.15 | aquatix | AstralSt: oh? |
| 09:32.17 | wazd | random flame comment\ |
| 09:32.19 | aquatix | was cheaper here |
| 09:32.21 | wazd | ~flame |
| 09:32.26 | AstralSt | hmm, maybe it got cheaper |
| 09:32.28 | RST38h | Jaffa: And the only thing I can say is "Why not just buy a freaking car?" :) |
| 09:32.28 | qwerty12 | ~burn |
| 09:32.33 | johnx | RST38h, no, it's like someone saying that a bicycle works for them and talking to someone else about biking to work: Not an invitation to tell them they're wrong |
| 09:32.34 | aquatix | AstralSt: we got it for 380 EUR |
| 09:32.39 | AstralSt | RST38h: because gas is expensive |
| 09:32.49 | AstralSt | aquatix: so, for more than 500$, hehehe |
| 09:32.50 | mavhc | and there's no parking |
| 09:32.57 | AstralSt | or an equivalent |
| 09:33.00 | aquatix | AstralSt: that's not comparable dammit ;) |
| 09:33.01 | mavhc | and it's 1/10th the price |
| 09:33.07 | RST38h | AStral: That argument has also been used (see scrollback buffer) :) |
| 09:33.12 | wazd | Tell my one thing everybody) |
| 09:33.22 | wazd | Why shoud I pay more for same stuff? |
| 09:33.30 | aquatix | `same'? |
| 09:33.31 | AstralSt | more? same? |
| 09:33.36 | mavhc | because it's better in some way |
| 09:33.37 | wazd | Yep |
| 09:33.39 | aquatix | wazd: what are you comparing now? |
| 09:33.42 | wazd | no its not for me |
| 09:33.43 | RST38h | 'cause it is not the same |
| 09:33.48 | mavhc | smaller, lighter, faster, more reliable |
| 09:33.49 | AstralSt | for 500$, you can get a standard laptop of moderate power |
| 09:34.00 | wazd | not smaller, not lighter, doing same stuff |
| 09:34.12 | AstralSt | not smaller *enough* actually |
| 09:34.16 | AstralSt | because you still need a bag |
| 09:34.18 | wazd | I have aluminium case, does Portege? |
| 09:34.36 | johnx | RST38h, I kinda wish you'd stop trolling sometimes :/ |
| 09:34.37 | mavhc | you don't need another bag, just put it in your main bag |
| 09:34.47 | AstralSt | mavhc: oh yeah sure |
| 09:34.50 | AstralSt | I don't carry a bag with me |
| 09:34.55 | AstralSt | it looks bad etc. |
| 09:35.02 | AstralSt | I win, eh? :P |
| 09:35.06 | wazd | I'm caring my mini in my small standart "non-notebook" bag |
| 09:35.07 | mavhc | wazd: it's 5 times faster, has a dvd drive, higher res screen, I assume |
| 09:35.08 | wazd | So |
| 09:35.20 | AstralSt | you mean, a suitcase? |
| 09:35.21 | RST38h | johnx: Done (have to get back to work) |
| 09:35.26 | wazd | mavhc: I dont need al that CPU HP |
| 09:35.31 | AstralSt | devastating to joints |
| 09:35.34 | wazd | mavhc: at ALL |
| 09:35.34 | mavhc | wazd: so don't buy it |
| 09:35.43 | mavhc | we'll stop forcing you to buy it, ok |
| 09:35.47 | AstralSt | :P |
| 09:36.06 | wazd | I'm so glad) |
| 09:36.16 | mavhc | also don't buy that gaming desktop if you don't want to play games |
| 09:36.25 | wazd | We suddenly have found a reasn to buy a netbook |
| 09:36.44 | AstralSt | like what kind of reason? |
| 09:36.54 | mavhc | you don't need more cpu power |
| 09:36.56 | AstralSt | a standard laptop for text editing will be cheaper |
| 09:36.58 | wazd | I wan't to have a cheap reliable laptop |
| 09:37.03 | aquatix | would rather buy a $400 netbook than a $400 laptop that weighs 2x as much and has some crappy celeron and only slightly bigger resolution and poorer battery life |
| 09:37.06 | AstralSt | cheap != reliable |
| 09:37.20 | aquatix | AstralSt: did you even try some? |
| 09:37.22 | wazd | AstralSt: wrong |
| 09:37.23 | AstralSt | esp. that netbooks are not reliable |
| 09:37.24 | RST38h | unfortunately, yes |
| 09:37.31 | mavhc | AstralSt: so we shouldn't buy the cheap laptop, because it's not reliable? |
| 09:37.34 | AstralSt | yes, although not the newest offering |
| 09:37.36 | RST38h | Although Samsung is a big step in that direction |
| 09:37.38 | wazd | AstralSt: expensive != reliable |
| 09:37.43 | mavhc | AstralSt: cite your source |
| 09:37.44 | AstralSt | wazd: that's true too |
| 09:37.51 | wazd | so whats the point |
| 09:37.52 | mavhc | who's netbook is dead? |
| 09:37.58 | AstralSt | mavhc: source? cite yours ;P |
| 09:38.03 | RST38h | wazd: you know a difference between <-> and -> ? |
| 09:38.07 | AstralSt | mavhc: sorry, had to fix a few |
| 09:38.13 | mavhc | they have no HDD, hence more reliable |
| 09:38.16 | AstralSt | as in hardware |
| 09:38.28 | AstralSt | yes, as if hdds were unreliable |
| 09:38.34 | AstralSt | the problem is not storage |
| 09:38.36 | aquatix | mavhc: erm, we have one with 160GB hdd |
| 09:38.41 | AstralSt | but cheap plastics |
| 09:38.46 | aquatix | AstralSt: well |
| 09:38.47 | wazd | I have 120Gb HDD |
| 09:38.47 | mavhc | aquatix: as I said, if it has an HDD it's not a netbook |
| 09:38.52 | wazd | Aluminium casing |
| 09:38.53 | aquatix | mavhc: wrong |
| 09:38.55 | RST38h | mavhc: Why? |
| 09:39.00 | aquatix | sooo wrong |
| 09:39.02 | AstralSt | wazd: what netbook? |
| 09:39.02 | aquatix | anyway |
| 09:39.06 | aquatix | i'm outta here |
| 09:39.16 | aquatix | not wanting to do this on sunday morning |
| 09:39.17 | wazd | AstrasSt: same as 5 mins ago obviously)) |
| 09:39.27 | wazd | AstralSt: HP 2133 |
| 09:39.27 | aquatix | before i even had coffee or food :) |
| 09:39.32 | mavhc | because a netbook is something with no moving parts, except perhaps a fan, than you can throw around |
| 09:39.41 | aquatix | mavhc: in your definition maybe |
| 09:39.42 | RST38h | aquatix: But now you are no longer asleep |
| 09:39.46 | pupnik | my 'netbook' has a hdd and a fan |
| 09:39.54 | aquatix | RST38h: yeah, but greatly annoyed ;) |
| 09:39.56 | AstralSt | wazd: hmm |
| 09:40.04 | RST38h | mavhc: Netbook is a dirt-cheap laptop, that is all it is |
| 09:40.06 | mavhc | aquatix: well there's got to be some real difference |
| 09:40.15 | aquatix | mavhc: like, size and power? |
| 09:40.16 | mavhc | RST38h: don't give it a new name then |
| 09:40.17 | AstralSt | RST38h: dirt-cheap *small* laptop |
| 09:40.18 | AstralSt | :) |
| 09:40.21 | aquatix | AstralSt: indeed |
| 09:40.22 | RST38h | For once, there is a clear definition (try that with MIPS or "smartphone") |

| 09:40.43 | AstralSt | yes, or Asus |
| 09:40.51 | AstralSt | but then, these are proto-netbooks ;P |
| 09:40.55 | RST38h | mavhc: I did not give it a name, can't take it back :) |
| 09:40.59 | mavhc | the problem with a laptop is the hdd, you shouldn't move it when it's on |
| 09:41.01 | Vulcanis | [04:39:32] <mavhc> because a netbook is something with no moving parts, except perhaps a fan, than you can throw around -- perhaps Nerf should make one |
| 09:41.07 | AstralSt | mavhc: wrong |
| 09:41.07 | aquatix | mavhc: bullocks |
| 09:41.13 | AstralSt | laptop hdds are very resilient |
| 09:41.26 | aquatix | has had laptops for years and even dropped one while it was powered on |
| 09:41.26 | mavhc | except the pile of 20 dead ones I have here |
| 09:41.29 | Vulcanis | esp. on a thinkpad ^.^ |
| 09:41.31 | aquatix | never had a problem |
| 09:41.32 | wazd | HP Mini even have HDD defense |
| 09:41.38 | AstralSt | mavhc: buying cheap hardware again? |
| 09:41.42 | aquatix | AstralSt: :) |
| 09:41.46 | wazd | HP like throw protection |
| 09:41.46 | mavhc | AstralSt: of course |
| 09:41.58 | AstralSt | whatever, the hd itself has a G-sensor |

| 09:42.48 | wazd | is it sunday today?! |
| 09:42.57 | Vulcanis | its friday |
| 09:42.57 | aquatix | here it is |
| 09:43.06 | Vulcanis | so I can not go to school tomorrow, because it will then be saturday |
| 09:43.06 | AstralSt | Vulcanis: free, but sunday |
| 09:43.15 | aquatix | Vulcanis: :) |
| 09:43.22 | aquatix | wish i could say the same of my work |
| 09:43.43 | Vulcanis | sleep problems don't help things. Nor do midterms. |
| 09:43.51 | aquatix | ouch |
| 09:44.03 | AstralSt | fortunately, I'm free of sleep problems |
| 09:44.18 | Vulcanis | Yeah, be happy. |
| 09:44.20 | RST38h | johnx: Well, it is expected (especially with a larger A600). But I really like that pack of playing cards form factor! :) |
| 09:44.23 | AstralSt | but then, having to finish 4 projects is not nice |
| 09:44.46 | aquatix | AstralSt: same here :/ |
| 09:44.46 | Vulcanis | johnx: Where can I buy one of these "Pack of playing cards", and what are the specs? |
| 09:44.50 | johnx | RST38h, yeah, but try typing on that thing. no feedback whatsoever! :P |
| 09:44.53 | aquatix | gets that coffee and food |

| 09:46.12 | pupnik | i'd like keyboard pants |
| 09:46.19 | pupnik | on the top of the thigh |
| 09:46.20 | johnx | RST38h, d00d. those playing card things don't even have hte bluet00thz! |
| 09:46.20 | AstralSt | not until I manage to get it to read continuous handwriting |
| 09:46.24 | aquatix | pupnik: so you can fondle legally? |
| 09:46.31 | aquatix | in public? |
| 09:46.36 | pupnik | it's just a natural resting place for hands. |
| 09:46.37 | AstralSt | mwhahaha |
| 09:46.37 | RST38h | pupnik: Would you prefer the keys on the front or...mmhmmm...on the BACK? =) |
| 09:46.48 | AstralSt | pupnik: for that reason, it's pointless |
| 09:46.51 | pupnik | heh, near the knee |
| 09:46.52 | johnx | pupnik, just for you: http://gizmodo.com/382570/bring-out-your-inner-tool-with-peripherals-pants |
| 09:46.56 | RST38h | johnx: Care to test that with your fingers? ;) |
| 09:46.59 | AstralSt | where do you put your hands when you don't want to type? |
| 09:47.09 | pupnik | i'm always typing |
| 09:47.14 | aquatix | pupnik: knee? so that will only work when you are sitting? |
| 09:47.18 | AstralSt | hmm |
| 09:47.29 | aquatix | pupnik: or do you have really long arms? :) |
| 09:47.46 | aquatix | johnx: ah! |
| 09:47.46 | mavhc | you don't need a real keyboard, just finger position detectors, for your air kb |
| 09:47.53 | pupnik | awesome johnx... but i was thinking of a chording model |
| 09:47.57 | aquatix | mavhc: yeah, hologrammed in the air |
| 09:47.57 | pupnik | still awesome tho |
| 09:48.03 | RST38h | mavhc <-- essentially correct |
| 09:48.21 | aquatix | except that a hologram doesn't provide tactile feedbak |
| 09:48.23 | aquatix | +c |
| 09:48.26 | RST38h | Like that demo Nokia (?) did with someone typing on a bare desk while the smartphone camera tracked his movements |
| 09:48.30 | AstralSt | mavhc: it doesn't work well |
| 09:48.40 | aquatix | RST38h: or that laser keyboard |
| 09:48.41 | mavhc | it? I just imagined it |
| 09:48.54 | RST38h | aquatix: More cumbersome, needs extra battery |
| 09:48.56 | AstralSt | RST38h: too much AI in that ;P |
| 09:49.08 | RST38h | Astral: naaah, just some image processing |
| 09:49.10 | aquatix | RST38h: can be build into your device |
| 09:49.12 | RST38h | There is more AI in Emacs |
| 09:49.13 | AstralSt | I tried to have that workign |
| 09:49.19 | aquatix | RST38h: but still, doesn't provide tactile feedback |
| 09:49.35 | RST38h | aquatix: type on a piece of bubble wrap! :) |
| 09:49.38 | johnx | hmm, need some augmented reality goggles to let you see the keyboard maybe :) |
| 09:49.42 | AstralSt | RST38h: really? I tried to do that with standard motion detection algorithms |
| 09:49.47 | aquatix | RST38h: with every bubble a key? |
| 09:49.50 | RST38h | johnx: [drugs] |
| 09:49.54 | AstralSt | it needed a load of CPU but didn't work so well |
| 09:49.56 | RST38h | aquatix: yea |
| 09:49.58 | aquatix | better use that roll-up-able keyboard i have lieing here |
| 09:50.09 | aquatix | even full-sized |
| 09:50.13 | AstralSt | sometimes misread keys |
| 09:50.23 | aquatix | brb |
| 09:50.35 | RST38h | Astral: IANAGG, but you probably want to use probabilistic analysis with Markov chains |
| 09:50.35 | AstralSt | aquatix: link? |
| 09:50.41 | mavhc | add force feedback to your glove |
| 09:50.45 | AstralSt | RST38h: did I mention AI? |
| 09:50.46 | AstralSt | ;P |
| 09:50.54 | AstralSt | except it doesn't work too well either |
| 09:50.58 | AstralSt | much like T9 |
| 09:51.00 | AstralSt | ;P |
| 09:51.02 | RST38h | Astral: Probabilistic stuff isn't really AI |
| 09:51.07 | AstralSt | oh, it is |
| 09:51.13 | AstralSt | esp. markov chains |
| 09:51.28 | AstralSt | still, predictive text is *old* |
| 09:51.33 | RST38h | Well...maybe in the wide sense of that term |
| 09:51.40 | AstralSt | I could fix the problems with it |
| 09:51.52 | AstralSt | but then, that introduces new problems :P |
| 09:51.53 | RST38h | It is not the traditional stuff though (logic, planning, etc) |
| 09:52.01 | AstralSt | it is |
| 09:52.07 | AstralSt | it's used for that in some games even |
| 09:52.16 | RST38h | Game AI != CS AI |
| 09:52.20 | AstralSt | (as part of an expert system) |
| 09:52.26 | AstralSt | oh really? |
| 09:52.31 | mavhc | augmented reality works today |
| 09:52.43 | RST38h | Traditional CS AI is such a narrow field, unfortunately |

| 09:54.01 | RST38h | Astral: hasn't been since that Marvin Minsky guy had his proof of a perceptron not able to do a XOR |
| 09:54.04 | johnx | mavhc, yeah, looking forward to seeing more of it in the next couple years :) |
| 09:54.06 | mavhc | AI is just all the stuff that doesn't quite work yet |
| 09:54.06 | AstralSt | (excluding hard data mining and expert systems, which are dead field already ;P ) |
| 09:54.17 | wazd | Long ago I was translating a text bout retinal projector |
| 09:54.29 | AstralSt | RST38h: perceptron is one special kind of pattern recognition |
| 09:54.35 | wazd | That's the future of agumented reality |
| 09:54.45 | RST38h | Astral: Practically, it is AI of course. It is just that mainstream CS AI guys abandoned this stuff long time ago and only recently returnned to it |
| 09:55.01 | AstralSt | but then, markov chaining is not a simple perceptron |
| 09:55.02 | RST38h | Astral: Exactly, in fact you can do a XOR, just add an extra layer |
| 09:55.02 | AstralSt | :) |
| 09:55.30 | AstralSt | still, most fun problems are linearly separable |
| 09:55.33 | AstralSt | no need for XOR ;P |
| 09:56.32 | mavhc | http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6NKT6eUGJDE is one AR demo I saw recently |
| 09:56.35 | AstralSt | see, the trick with this motion detector is the amount of noise present |
| 09:56.39 | AstralSt | in movement of fingers |
| 09:57.28 | AstralSt | thus, they had to go back to predictive text to reduce error rate |
| 09:57.32 | AstralSt | means - failure |
| 09:57.54 | RST38h | mavhc: green screen tech |
| 09:58.18 | RST38h | mavhc: Has been used for years to flip through ads shown at hockey/soccer matches |
| 09:58.53 | RST38h | It is actually pretty cool |
| 09:59.02 | AstralSt | nice new name though, eh? |
| 09:59.11 | johnx | what I'm waiting for is an honest to god HUD with some basic ability to add info about what I'm seeing |
| 09:59.30 | AstralSt | johnx: "info about what I'm seeing" = hard AI |
| 09:59.38 | AstralSt | HUD is fairly simple |
| 09:59.38 | RST38h | johnx: What? Ability to target and shoot explosive projectiles isn't at the top of your list? |
| 10:00.03 | mavhc | johnx: there's smartphone demos that do that now |
| 10:00.17 | johnx | AstralSt, face recognition? |
| 10:00.27 | johnx | RST38h, maybe our respective country's cultures are wearing off on us? :P |
| 10:00.41 | johnx | mavhc, but not quite "heads up" yet :) |
| 10:00.43 | AstralSt | johnx: face recognition is simple enough, with low enough error rate |
| 10:00.52 | AstralSt | like, 0.05% |
| 10:01.13 | mavhc | for a subset of people |
| 10:01.13 | AstralSt | of course, that's bad enough to not warrant using it for any security purpose |
| 10:01.19 | AstralSt | but governments aren't listening |
| 10:01.33 | mavhc | they are listening, just to people selling the tech |
| 10:01.41 | johnx | AstralSt, exactly. that kind of stuff. and info on buildings, directions overlayed, |
| 10:01.42 | AstralSt | obviously ;P |
| 10:01.45 | RST38h | johnx: Don't think so, this stuff is pretty universal AFAIK |
| 10:01.56 | AstralSt | buildings... hmmm, GPS + vector map? |
| 10:02.07 | AstralSt | but you'd need a compass too |
| 10:02.14 | johnx | RST38h, it's funny, but the only people I feel like shooting sometimes are on the internet... |
| 10:02.24 | AstralSt | to get more sure direction data (GPS is notoriously bad at that at low speed) |
| 10:02.26 | RST38h | johnx: and I believe you have been a systadmin too, so you should know the feeling |
| 10:02.38 | johnx | RST38h, I was lucky. I had good users :) |
| 10:02.44 | RST38h | johnx: See? There *are* such people! |
| 10:02.53 | mavhc | http://www.videosift.com/video/Augmented-Reality-Wikitude-App-for-Android-Google-Phone |
| 10:03.06 | johnx | RST38h, now retail computer sales and repair...that's another story |
| 10:03.22 | AstralSt | johnx: the problem is - do you want to wear some kind of glasses? |
| 10:03.39 | johnx | AstralSt, I already where glasses :) |
| 10:03.39 | mavhc | already do |
| 10:03.43 | AstralSt | OLEDs could be used to solve this problem "transparently" |
| 10:03.55 | AstralSt | laser projection... maybe |
| 10:03.58 | mavhc | g1 has a compass, so maybe it's using that |
| 10:04.13 | mavhc | glasses will do for the next 10 years, then lasers |
| 10:04.17 | johnx | mavhc, yup, compass+gps+accelerometer(?) |
| 10:04.24 | mavhc | then just plug straight into my brain |
| 10:04.27 | AstralSt | yes, these |
| 10:04.36 | AstralSt | plus some additional motion detection from camera? |
| 10:04.50 | AstralSt | (you need that for face recognition anyway) |
| 10:04.50 | johnx | yeah, that wikitude app looks pretty neat. it's screaming for faster hardware though, and maybe a little more polish |
| 10:05.05 | aquatix | mavhc: i rather keep it seperated from my brains |
| 10:05.07 | AstralSt | the problem is hinting at what is a face |
| 10:05.08 | mavhc | then before I die find a way to copy my brain to a computer so I can live forever on the internet |
| 10:05.12 | AstralSt | and controlling the HUD |
| 10:05.23 | AstralSt | johnx: do you want to carry a keyboard with you? :P |
| 10:05.25 | mavhc | AstralSt: did you see Horizon's Where's My Robot? |
| 10:05.32 | johnx | AstralSt, why would I need one? |
| 10:05.49 | AstralSt | johnx: to say to the hud "face detection" |
| 10:06.05 | AstralSt | it would misdetect otherwise |
| 10:06.08 | AstralSt | a lot |
| 10:06.24 | johnx | Cheap point+shoot cameras have been doing facial recognition quite well for years |
| 10:06.34 | AstralSt | from clean pics |
| 10:06.35 | mavhc | finding faces is easy |
| 10:06.39 | johnx | I mean recognizing that something is a face at least |
| 10:06.41 | AstralSt | not from real life movement and such |
| 10:06.47 | AstralSt | yes yes |
| 10:06.56 | mavhc | if they're looking straight at you |
| 10:07.03 | AstralSt | exactly |
| 10:07.05 | RST38h | cheap p&s has got OTHER problems with real life movement :) |
| 10:07.06 | johnx | AstralSt, I'm fine with it going away when I'm moving or whatever. I rarely need it then |
| 10:07.35 | AstralSt | johnx: then, a simple key to engage detection would be ok, right? :P |
| 10:07.42 | AstralSt | or some other way of signalling it |
| 10:07.47 | aquatix | mavhc: interesting demo |
| 10:08.31 | johnx | AstralSt, eh, or if the software has a low confidence factor it won't show me the info, if it has a high confidence factor that it recognized a face, then it should show it |
| 10:08.44 | johnx | this also, has been in p+s cams for a while... |
| 10:08.52 | AstralSt | it *will* fail in funny ways a lot :) |
| 10:08.59 | AstralSt | like, seeing a face on a building |
| 10:09.03 | AstralSt | detecting faces in ads |
| 10:09.04 | AstralSt | etc. |
| 10:09.12 | AstralSt | a lot of info you don't want |
| 10:09.39 | AstralSt | unless you augument it with some nice AI for DWIM |
| 10:09.40 | johnx | AstralSt, that's the kind of stuff I want to find out :) what works, what doesn't |
| 10:10.17 | johnx | maybe a glove would be ok for input, or something that sits on my wrist and watches my tendons |
| 10:10.45 | AstralSt | yeah, like a chord keyboard :> |
| 10:11.10 | johnx | except something that doesn't completely occupy a whole hand all the freaking time :) |
| 10:11.14 | AstralSt | I remember a design like that |
| 10:11.22 | AstralSt | no need for that if you mount it on a glove |
| 10:11.42 | johnx | are you talking about something like a frogpad (is that it?) |
| 10:12.18 | AstralSt | nah, frogpad is a standard small keyboard... |
| 10:12.18 | AstralSt | although chorded |
| 10:12.19 | AstralSt | I'm talking that on a glove :P |

| 10:12.49 | mavhc | google street view's face detection to blur faces blurs horse faces too |
| 10:13.03 | johnx | mavhc, that's intentional :D |
| 10:13.08 | aquatix | mavhc: rightly so |
| 10:13.17 | aquatix | you don't want to be seen with the wrong horse |
| 10:13.28 | mavhc | horse privacy lobby is powerful |
| 10:13.30 | johnx | doesn't blur people peeing on the street though |
| 10:13.36 | AstralSt | haha |
| 10:13.40 | aquatix | johnx: it blurred her face though ;) |
| 10:14.10 | AstralSt | johnx: http://wearables.blu.org/keyglove.html ;) |
| 10:14.14 | johnx | so is it blurring peoples' faces in all regions now? |
| 10:14.15 | mavhc | when I saw the streetview car in nottingham I followed it around so I can be in lots of the photos |
| 10:14.18 | AstralSt | can be done better |
| 10:14.20 | AstralSt | e.g. analog |
| 10:14.49 | johnx | I'm just not sure if trying to map qwerty onto a glove like that is the right idea |
| 10:14.52 | AstralSt | or with a standard nice 3D glove |
| 10:14.56 | AstralSt | (which is expensive) |
| 10:15.04 | AstralSt | I said chorded, no need for qwerty |
| 10:15.15 | AstralSt | it could launch functions directly |
| 10:15.26 | johnx | or switch to T9 |
| 10:15.41 | AstralSt | predictive text strikes again! ;P |
| 10:15.42 | johnx | yeah, I guess that's just a keymap and in input method on the software side |
| 10:15.50 | AstralSt | exactly |
| 10:16.13 | AstralSt | T9 is underpowered really |
| 10:16.28 | aquatix | likes qwerty better on a phone already |
| 10:16.32 | AstralSt | can be improved easily, but still, that doesn't work around the patent |
| 10:16.37 | AstralSt | meh |
| 10:16.47 | johnx | gah, forgot about the patent |
| 10:16.49 | aquatix | maybe some dvorak-like layout for the glove |
| 10:16.57 | johnx | or T10 :) |
| 10:17.01 | aquatix | lol |
| 10:17.20 | AstralSt | we need more analog keyboards |
| 10:17.39 | AstralSt | who needs a binary input, when we can use all of the hand movements? |
| 10:17.42 | AstralSt | magic, anyone? |

| 10:18.49 | aquatix | AstralSt: maybe we can do something with cheap motion sensors |
| 10:18.53 | aquatix | johnx: :) |
| 10:19.20 | AstralSt | aquatix: optical? sorry, tried it |
| 10:19.23 | AstralSt | johnx: rather, avoid |
| 10:19.28 | AstralSt | because of varying movement |
| 10:19.29 | aquatix | AstralSt: no |
| 10:19.38 | aquatix | the ones you have in phones nowadays |
| 10:19.50 | AstralSt | those are accelerometers |
| 10:19.57 | AstralSt | good 3D gloves use them |
| 10:19.57 | aquatix | yeah, just wanted to say so |

| 10:54.40 | RST38h | that sounds more like utelnetd problem =) |
| 10:54.59 | Stskeeps | aquatix: small and for usb connecting :P |
| 10:55.11 | aquatix | myeah |
| 10:55.15 | RST38h | aquatix: the point is to let us all see his passwords |
| 10:55.20 | aquatix | :) |
| 10:55.25 | aquatix | RST38h: shush ;) |
| 10:55.28 | qwerty12 | Hah, what password. This is mer. |
| 10:55.30 | RST38h | don't tell me it is not a worthy point |
| 10:56.06 | RST38h | qwerty: in general I mean |
| 10:56.06 | Stskeeps | qwerty12: 'rootme' |

| 10:56.12 | qwerty12 | Stskeeps, fair enough :P |
| 10:56.24 | qwerty12 | I'm convinced utelnetd is there to piss me off. |

| 10:57.54 | Stskeeps | apt-get install dropbear? :P |
| 10:58.02 | Stskeeps | stv0: doing it on a FAT filesystem? :P |

| 11:01.42 | qwerty12 | My kernel setup on this machine is a fucking mess tbh |
| 11:02.01 | Stskeeps | try test first with route add default gw stuff |

| 11:02.18 | qwerty12 | I can't even get my jffs2 images mounted any more - I have to use a hardy live cd just to get the maemo rootfs mounted |
| 11:02.38 | qwerty12 | ok |
| 11:02.44 | AstralSt | qwerty12: you made lzma jffs2 |
| 11:02.52 | AstralSt | you now have to build a kernel with support for that |
| 11:02.54 | AstralSt | :) |
| 11:03.16 | qwerty12 | AstralSt, they must have removed it then :/. Thanks :) |
| 11:03.42 | AstralSt | as everything |
| 11:03.52 | AstralSt | they remove useful features in maemo |
| 11:03.56 | AstralSt | e.g. busybox w/o anything ;P |
| 11:04.04 | qwerty12 | hah |
| 11:04.25 | qwerty12 | Stskeeps, thanks, ping 209.85.173.147 works |
| 11:04.59 | Stskeeps | qwerty12: edit your /etc/resolv.conf then |

| 11:20.38 | aquatix | konttori: i just saw it in the feed :) |
| 11:20.58 | aquatix | that Ryan Abel guy put them in there |
| 11:21.08 | Stskeeps | konttori: btw, if one was to adjust something in gtkrc in your theme maker for all themes you build, it would just be re-making that defaultsomething.zip you have? |
| 11:21.10 | aquatix | wonders what his irc nick is |
| 11:21.15 | konttori | Has there been the promised weekly alpha sdk updates? |
| 11:21.23 | qwerty12 | aquatix, GeneralAntilles |
| 11:21.26 | Stskeeps | konttori: haven't seen any yet |
| 11:21.26 | aquatix | oh duh |
| 11:21.43 | Stskeeps | konttori: on the other hand, we're first now really catching up to all the new material |
| 11:21.45 | konttori | Stskeeps: yeah, you can just modify the .zip file. |
| 11:21.47 | aquatix | qwerty12: i'm better in nicks than in real names ;) |
| 11:21.51 | Stskeeps | konttori: thanks :) |

| 11:22.06 | konttori | (you can have multiple and they will appear in the dropdown list) |
| 11:22.11 | Stskeeps | konttori: mer is a bit special in the fact that it needs a icon fallback theme, not entirely sure why :P |
| 11:23.04 | konttori | ok. I can also later add that to the theme maker default version as well. |
| 11:23.30 | Stskeeps | yeah, we'll see :) perhaps we find out how to be closer to maemo in that aspect |
| 11:23.45 | konttori | might make sense |
| 11:24.00 | Stskeeps | yeah, able to use all the themes out there :P |
| 11:24.12 | lcuk | kicks his slow stretchblit |

| 11:24.20 | qwerty12 | Stskeeps, does root have a password? |

| 11:26.21 | GeneralAntilles | aquatix, I can give you part numbers if you'd like to investigate further. I didn't add them to the post since there was a negative initial reaction after discussion came out about the specs. |
| 11:26.23 | qwerty12 | Stskeeps, I dunno if setting a root password will mess anything up though so I may as well make another account with uid 0 |
| 11:26.41 | Stskeeps | qwerty12: 'passwd root' does the trick too |
| 11:26.51 | qwerty12 | Stskeeps, without messing anything else up? |

| 11:30.04 | aquatix | qwerty12: :) |
| 11:30.05 | GeneralAntilles | I don't much care for the hardware keyboard, and the N810 is a big step down d-pad-wise from the N800 (not that it really seems possible. . . .) |
| 11:30.12 | Stskeeps | i like the ease of popping the battery on a n810 thoug. |
| 11:30.12 | aquatix | n810 works, but it's not optimal |

| 11:31.37 | GeneralAntilles | i.e., the people that design the devices |
| 11:31.55 | konttori | sure. and no, it's not a bad thing. as long as the dpads would be proper dpads all over nokia. |

| 11:32.46 | lcuk | konttori, design new super interface devices modelled on pamela andersons boobs |
| 11:32.49 | GeneralAntilles | The d-pads have, amazingly, just gotten worse with each generation. |
| 11:33.16 | lcuk | we could have one on either side of the device and actually work on the cleavage area |

| 11:33.57 | GeneralAntilles | aquatix, yeah, they're nice, but I think the inertial scrolling in Fremantle should improve that at least a little. |

| 11:43.30 | wazd | screw this, here's full Titan template :) |
| 11:43.32 | wazd | http://s60.radikal.ru/i167/0901/f8/c1f80ffe3899.png |
| 11:43.33 | aquatix | obfuscated changelogs? |
| 11:43.35 | konttori | Maybe I should publish a fixed version soon. |
| 11:43.50 | wazd | Konttori: check color table |
| 11:43.57 | Stskeeps | johnx: i'm making builder build with -march=armv5te |
| 11:43.59 | GeneralAntilles | aquatix, "nonsense" meaning model numbers that aren't real English words. ;) |
| 11:44.00 | Stskeeps | any objections? |
| 11:44.03 | konttori | I'll start making a fremantle version soonish as well, so, it might make sense to make a stable version before that. |
| 11:44.09 | johnx | Stskeeps, what was it set to before? |
| 11:44.14 | Stskeeps | johnx: no clue, honestly |
| 11:44.16 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, yeah, Peter had a bit of a fit when lardman and I first discussed it. |
| 11:44.39 | aquatix | GeneralAntilles: ah :) |
| 11:44.41 | johnx | heh. poor guy |
| 11:44.44 | GeneralAntilles | Something along the lines of it ending the move towards openness for Maemo. |
| 11:44.48 | konttori | wazd: yeah. |

| 11:45.03 | wazd | konttori: If you're making Fremantle version, then it's UI is ready?) |
| 11:45.10 | aquatix | GeneralAntilles: i was thinking about the changelogs by google people to webkit stuff before android was released |

| 11:45.48 | wazd | konttori: yep |
| 11:45.58 | konttori | Of course I cannot comment, but let's say it's ready enough I could start working on theme maker to support it. |
| 11:46.02 | Stskeeps | konttori: curious question, in the current theme template there's the old hildon-desktop layout still, will the template still provide for this in the fremantle version? |
| 11:46.17 | wazd | konttori: nice ;) |
| 11:46.31 | Stskeeps | it would benefit us n8x0'ers quite a bit :P |
| 11:47.03 | GeneralAntilles | wazd, Nokia's worried about the bad reaction early (and even not-so-early) UI previews tend to get, so they're waiting until it's final or almost final to release. |

| 11:50.09 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, I'll have the attention span of a hummingbird for about a week |
| 11:50.20 | GeneralAntilles | The Fremantle Beta is released the same day Nokia announces the Pandora is RX-51. ;) |

| 11:50.33 | wazd | johnx: well, looking at Pandora's hardware assembling speed I have bad news for you :D |
| 11:50.43 | Stskeeps | johnx: that was my week when alpha sdk came out |
| 11:51.02 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, nah no way. the pandora has a decent d-pad. Nokia would never ship that. |
| 11:51.11 | aquatix | :) |
| 11:51.18 | GeneralAntilles | Hehe |
| 11:51.33 | GeneralAntilles | I gotta say, I've become quit impressed with TI over the last few years. |
| 11:52.03 | wazd | gaming d-pad is not quite decent |

| 11:53.03 | wazd | it looks slick and does the trick well |
| 11:53.34 | GeneralAntilles | wazd, have you thought about doing some mockups for h-a-m? |
| 11:53.51 | wazd | General: for what?) |
| 11:54.00 | lcuk | can we rename that app to b-a-c-o-n instead? |
| 11:54.04 | GeneralAntilles | The Application Manager |
| 11:54.25 | Stskeeps | lcuk: h-i-m-p-e exists too (hildon input method plugin example.. i think) |

| 11:54.47 | GeneralAntilles | I wish I had a reason to use that one |
| 11:54.52 | wazd | General: well, I had some mock-ups very long ago |
| 11:55.04 | GeneralAntilles | Stskeeps, that sounds like some cool guy's name I want to shout as he comes in a bar. |
| 11:55.11 | GeneralAntilles | Like "Norm!" except "Himpe!" |
| 11:55.11 | wazd | long before new OS announcement) |
| 11:56.16 | GeneralAntilles | wazd, I only mention it, because it's the Nokia application most likely to implement any UI mockups. ;) |
| 11:56.34 | GeneralAntilles | I did some myself, but they're all very conservative and not all that exciting. |
| 11:56.50 | wazd | General: oh, than I'll try :) |
| 11:57.37 | wazd | Are there any wordpress users in here?) |
| 11:58.23 | aquatix | wazd: why? |

| 13:10.12 | lcuk | yeah but "users" arent used to doing that (and git is better) |

| 13:10.38 | johnx | s/svn/an scm/ |
| 13:10.52 | johnx | users get nightly tarballs or autobuilt packages |
| 13:11.34 | RST38h | Looks like there is a problem you are missing |
| 13:12.00 | lcuk | johnx, i mean for data not code |
| 13:12.11 | lcuk | ie ui layouts and stuff |
| 13:12.12 | RST38h | The problem is that the chances of seeing your contributions appear in an official Nokia software update are very slim |
| 13:13.11 | johnx | lcuk, nightly packages in an apt repository are still a good way to do data distribution |
| 13:13.35 | RST38h | No technical feature (SVN, GIT, Wiki, whatever) will solve that. It is a matter of policy. |
| 13:13.58 | qwerty12_N800 | RST38h, so true. |
| 13:13.58 | lcuk | johnx, my point wasn't "its not possible", its "its not usual" |
| 13:13.59 | johnx | right, but I was just answering lcuk :) |
| 13:15.08 | johnx | lcuk, nope, but if you want help setting it up, I might be able to offer some help |
| 13:15.14 | lcuk | theres other issues svn introduces which arent as apparant with wikiesq model (collisions occur on the one file the user edits live on the cloud vs a whole subset of files needing managing) |
| 13:15.50 | lcuk | i will need something in the near future johnx, it relates to the entire profile of user/system data and between machines |
| 13:15.54 | johnx | aaaah, so a contribution system for non-programmers. I thought you were just talking about users as the consumers |

| 13:18.49 | lcuk | long range :: once i start making new tiles and cells it should be possible for 50 users to contribute their own favorite layout for X class in Y context. i want a way for ratings and voting to adapt the "default" interface to let the community improve the look and feel of apps easily without having to be technical developers |
| 13:20.04 | lcuk | since an interface file is just a small thing that says show this data here using this style its entirely feasible for the technical app to simply present the data as expected |
| 13:21.11 | johnx | have users submit to a wiki and scrape it off? |
| 13:21.37 | lcuk | well thats the simplest |
| 13:22.05 | lcuk | but when a user connects after being offline for a week theres 100 files changed, he doesnt want to manage the collisions |
| 13:22.26 | lcuk | and he doesnt want his personal decisions overwritten either |
| 13:22.33 | johnx | right, so scrape off a wiki and into a package |
| 13:23.07 | johnx | there's already a unix-y solution to that: files in /home/$USER/.liqtiles are searched first, then /usr/share/liqtiles |
| 13:23.09 | lcuk | and the meaning of wiki in this context is wiki == generational database == git == svn |
| 13:23.51 | lcuk | yes ive got functions to enumerate multiple folders like that |
| 13:23.56 | lcuk | but theres other issues as well |
| 13:23.57 | johnx | right, but it might be easier to have a backend process automatically scrape a wiki and generate a package then to make an easy frontend to svn |
| 13:24.06 | lcuk | yeah 100% agree |
| 13:24.46 | lcuk | it could simply be the server process itself that supplies a dataset based on the connected client |
| 13:25.29 | johnx | hmm? probably being thick, but I didn't follow that last bit |
| 13:25.35 | lcuk | ive got half a mind to put the code directly in liqbase to test and have my n810 clients connect to the x41 server |
| 13:25.45 | johnx | :/ |
| 13:25.55 | lcuk | heh |
| 13:26.13 | lcuk | ok, for the server process to use libliqbase :) |
| 13:26.35 | lcuk | cos that already knows the layouts and structures required and can extract the required metadata out of the media files |
| 13:27.56 | johnx | I suppose... |
| 13:28.59 | lcuk | heh, i have to get away from calling everything liqbase, im already writing simple little apps which just open up and run and close again :) |
| 13:29.06 | johnx | so liq on the client, will just connect to the server and pull layouts down to $HOME/.liq or whatever |

| 13:35.31 | RST38h | lcuk: BTW, have you seen Nokia's paint app for the S60e5? |
| 13:36.20 | lcuk | no, but i bet it has many things more than my simple app :) (mind you, drawing in the sand does as well) |
| 13:36.37 | RST38h | not really :) |
| 13:36.42 | lcuk | lemme see |
| 13:36.53 | RST38h | But I thought you can steal the overall UI |

| 13:37.27 | RST38h | lcuk: Screenshots? =) |
| 13:38.36 | lcuk | whats wrong with the current layout? but theres other things ( pupnik's corner nodes look amazing and scale well ) |
| 13:39.18 | RST38h | The last version I have seen had controls at a fixed spot and they obscured too much of the canvas |
| 13:43.16 | lcuk | technically thats what the fullscreen button should be for :) |
| 13:44.11 | lcuk | the UI presented is fine, but if you want it to go away you press fullscreen, sorted |
| 13:45.46 | pupnik_ | lcuk: wut? implemented? you them? wut? |

| 13:47.19 | pupnik_ | navigating menus, reading text kicks one into leftbrain mode |

| 13:47.37 | Gadgetoid | Yeah pupnik_, I hear ya there! |
| 13:47.52 | lcuk | RST38h, on a device this small its always compromise |
| 13:48.15 | pupnik_ | that's what my girlfriend said! |
| 13:48.21 | lcuk | you are a dev, come up with a usable ui and ill implement it |
| 13:48.31 | RST38h | lcuk: And Nokia handles it pretty well with its small icon bars overlaid onto the screen (see their Touch Paint and also the Media Bar in S60e5) |
| 13:48.59 | RST38h | Hiding UI completely also work and is simpler but it is somewhat more cumbersome to the user |

| 13:57.10 | Stskeeps | johnx: not sure yet but its either or glib or gtk else.. |

| 13:57.17 | RST38h | lcuk: The strip of icons is always at the screen (unless you hide it with FullScreen like you do now) |

| 13:57.52 | Stskeeps | johnx: yeah, but me neither, it should be the one from repo |
| 13:57.54 | lcuk | click once brings up the color select, then change the color with another click and probably a third to accept that selection |
| 13:57.54 | wazd | RST38h: my ISP is definetely not the straight one |
| 13:58.12 | RST38h | lcuk: But the icons are rrrrreally simple (single color, transparent background) |
| 13:58.26 | RST38h | lcuk: and they are only 40x40 each, arranged in a slim strip |
| 13:58.28 | johnx | ah, well I'll build hildon-desktop natively and see what happens |
| 13:58.38 | Stskeeps | johnx: k, from apt-source i presume? |
| 13:58.43 | lcuk | i dont care how really simple they are, its wasteful to have to click 3 times to change a color |
| 13:58.48 | lcuk | deluxe paint had it right :) |
| 13:59.11 | johnx | Stskeeps, that was the idea |
| 13:59.21 | RST38h | lcuk: for changing colors you can still have a palette like you do now, just small and having a button-like frame |
| 13:59.21 | wazd | Bubbles on Mer wallpaper will look silly |
| 13:59.37 | lcuk | but these kinds of conversations are why i want multiple uis for an app :) |
| 13:59.48 | lcuk | you should be able to have the interface as you expect |

| 14:01.07 | wazd | what icons are you discussing? |
| 14:01.29 | wazd | RTS38h: the worst thing is that it's the only ISP in here |
| 14:02.36 | RST38h | wazd: liqbase UI |
| 14:03.02 | lcuk | RST38h, we will never ever get a single glorious perfect ui which everyone will be happy with - its like football and religion and anything, you will have your predefined expectations and would be best to allow the dev to write features and let the UI departments supply the layout |
| 14:03.25 | RST38h | wazd: I insist on having an icon strip similar to the 5800 media bar. Lcuk just wants to have a 160x480 bar with icons at the right, like the old MS Paint or Designer+ |
| 14:04.12 | RST38h | wazd: What district? And can't you just switch to Stream? |
| 14:04.41 | wazd | RST38h: damn center of Moscow( |
| 14:05.10 | wazd | RST38h: Stream works here even worse, thanks to WW2 landlines |
| 14:05.16 | RST38h | wazd: Oh yes |
| 14:05.30 | RST38h | wazd: What about fixed WiMax? |
| 14:05.57 | wazd | RST38h: doesn't work near my home for now |
| 14:06.05 | lcuk | technically RST38h that colorbar could give us both what we want, if i want a big palette that works live with a single click the palette icon could be bigger and live, if you want click to select and smaller that should also work |
| 14:07.02 | wazd | RST38h: can you show a screenshot with 5800 mediabar? I'm not very familliar with that device |

| 14:10.09 | lcuk | no, they are part UI layout (Ive sketched hundreds of alternative layouts for all sorts of apps) |

| 14:44.07 | johnx | wazd, neat idea, but I think that you'll definitely need to get the community in on that design as the pandora guys do not have the manpower to do their own GUI I think... |

| 14:50.07 | johnx | Stskeeps, actually, do you mean "do the users discuss?" or "do the people who made the device participate?" |
| 14:52.28 | wazd | Pandora needs UI like PSP or something, analog stick oriented |
| 14:52.57 | wazd | cause I don't know how to use touchscreen with clamshel formfactor |
| 14:53.06 | johnx | right, and someone needs to cook that up, but I'm betting it's not the pandora devs who will make it :) |
| 14:53.22 | pupnik_ | they have a simple game-selector thing that runs on boot, as an alternative to a full os, afaik |
| 14:53.27 | johnx | actually touchscreen in a "small laptop" form factor with a stylus isn't that bad |
| 14:54.48 | Stskeeps | johnx: latter |
| 14:55.07 | RST38h | wazd: pandora needs hardware to be released and shipped to people who ordered it |
| 14:55.21 | johnx | hmm, then "not that I know of." At least not on any big forums |
| 14:55.39 | wazd | RST38h: dreams dreams :) |
| 14:55.49 | RST38h | wazd: As to UI, it has got a directional pad, so that should not be a problem |
| 14:55.55 | RST38h | A simple menu will do |
| 14:56.20 | johnx | the company that made the zipit1 and 2 communicated pretty well, but that was usually via private mail |

| 15:00.17 | RST38h | johnx: Will it have more pixels though? |
| 15:00.24 | johnx | pupnik_, nah, probably not. more of a joke on the optimus maximum |
| 15:00.57 | pupnik_ | does the 4000 mAh dance |
| 15:01.29 | RST38h | Energizer Bunny? |

| 15:01.46 | johnx | RST38h, "the optimus maximus features crisp lettuce and tender chicken, but the pandora included refried beans and zesty cheese sauce" |
| 15:02.02 | johnx | wazd, yup. comes in a backpack. :P |
| 15:02.28 | pupnik_ | if you ever do put a car battery in a backpack, make sure you have a sealed enclosure |
| 15:02.47 | pupnik_ | i have pics of what results if you don't |
| 15:02.51 | RST38h | pupnik: gel-based batteries are sealed, they don't leak |
| 15:02.52 | johnx | pupnik_, so that the gas can accumulate? I think you want some vents .... |
| 15:03.01 | wazd | I wonder how 1300 mAh battery can power n800 for 6 hours and 4000 mAh battery can power Panda for only 10 hours then |
| 15:03.04 | pupnik_ | sorry sealed from leakage, not air |
| 15:03.05 | johnx | RST38h, car batteries generally aren't "gel cells" |
| 15:03.24 | pupnik_ | i.e. a bucket |
| 15:03.34 | RST38h | johnx: The one I had in a Camry certainly was |
| 15:03.39 | johnx | wazd, turn your screen to full bright, CPU at 100% and wifi downloading something. you won't see 6 hours then |
| 15:03.56 | johnx | RST38h, from the factory? or because you spent a lot of money on an expensive battery? |
| 15:04.04 | pupnik_ | wazd: also more ram = more drain, plus they're being conservative |
| 15:04.05 | RST38h | johnx: (and yes, I have seen the insides, after it exploded) |
| 15:04.24 | pupnik_ | why did your battery splode? |
| 15:04.28 | RST38h | johnx: It wasn't the first battery, yes. |
| 15:04.33 | RST38h | pupnik: A short. |
| 15:04.59 | RST38h | pupnik: Have been scrapping gel for three hours afterwards |
| 15:05.26 | johnx | so did you switch back to wet cells? |
| 15:05.29 | wazd | johnx: Panda will do 10 hours on that load?) |
| 15:05.40 | RST38h | johnx: No, I have put a bigger battery! =) |
| 15:05.58 | johnx | wazd, 8 :) but yes, they did a stress test |
| 15:06.15 | johnx | RST38h, you're doing it all wrong. :P You want the lightest battery that can start your car |
| 15:06.21 | RST38h | johnx: Are wet cells better somehow? |
| 15:06.25 | Stskeeps | johnx: how's h-d baking? |
| 15:06.28 | jaska | they need to make handheld-usable radioisotope thermal generators |
| 15:06.39 | RST38h | johnx: well, I am not a car guy. If it runs and does not cause me problems, I am happy. |
| 15:06.40 | jaska | so i can keep them at 100% load for 40 years at a time or so |
| 15:06.43 | johnx | RST38h, yeah they don't cost a fortune :) |

| 15:10.02 | johnx | RST38h, most of "the good ones" (dunno what makes them good) were upwards of $150 IIRC (been a while since I was a car guy :) ) |
| 15:10.21 | Stskeeps | (i push to lp:~mer-committers/m-r/hildon-desktop-env) |
| 15:10.36 | johnx | Stskeeps, ok, if I change anything I'll push there from now on |
| 15:10.42 | Stskeeps | alright |
| 15:12.01 | Stskeeps | 770 didn't do thumb did it? |
| 15:12.17 | johnx | the t in armv5te is thumb I believe |
| 15:12.30 | johnx | I think t is one of the important requirements for EABI |
| 15:13.04 | Stskeeps | does your zaurus do thumb? :P |
| 15:14.04 | johnx | yes, it's armv5te :) |
| 15:14.04 | Stskeeps | mmk |
| 15:14.28 | johnx | yup, Features: swp half thumb fastmult edsp iwmmxt |
| 15:14.37 | Stskeeps | k |
| 15:15.14 | RST38h | -t is for thumb but EABI does not require it afaik |
| 15:16.41 | johnx | RST38h, I've heard about there being some differences between ARM's EABI standard and the EABI implementation for linux. But currently EABI in linux requires an armv4t or later, with the armv4 (strongarm) being OABI |
| 15:17.17 | RST38h | johnx: Given that Thumb is disabled unless you specifically enable it, I find it strange |
| 15:17.28 | RST38h | i.e. you have to TELL gcc use thumb |
| 15:18.23 | johnx | RST38h, I go by what I see here: http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort |
| 15:18.46 | johnx | see "Thumb interworking suggests armv4t" |
| 15:19.13 | johnx | it is entirely possible that's incorrect or I'm misinterpreting it. in which case clarification would be nice :) |
| 15:20.04 | RST38h | johnx: Ah you mean this |
| 15:20.27 | johnx | "The EABI includes thumb interworking" |
| 15:20.32 | RST38h | johnx: thumb interworking is an optional EABI feature that lets you mix ARM and THUMB code in the same program |
| 15:21.08 | RST38h | johnx: If you do not have THUMB in your CPU, you can still use the same ABI but you obviously should disable thumb interworking when compiling code |
| 15:21.24 | RST38h | (in fact, gcc has it disabled by default :)) |
| 15:21.39 | *** join/#maemo pH5 (n=ph5@p5485D104.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 15:22.44 | johnx | fair enough. I guess my thinking is from the perspective of the user of a binary distro on ARM devices: Becuase debian/ubuntu/(probably fedora) are compiled with thumb interworking enabled, they won't run on an armv4l |
| 15:22.50 | johnx | a fact which saddens me :/ |
| 15:23.34 | RST38h | correct |
| 15:24.05 | RST38h | But it is really not a given fact that your app will work faster in Thumb mode |
| 15:24.18 | RST38h | Sometimes it will, depending on how complex your code is |
| 15:25.23 | johnx | the more complex the code = the more it helps be reducing contention for CPU cache, right? |
| 15:25.30 | RST38h | Nope |
| 15:25.55 | johnx | well, I like that theory :P :) |
| 15:26.14 | RST38h | code cache contention depends on two things only: your binary size (MIPS sucks at that btw) and the number of far jumps you are making |
| 15:26.41 | johnx | but doesn't thumb produce smaller binary size? |
| 15:27.15 | RST38h | Thumb helps that by using 16bit instructions |
| 15:28.15 | RST38h | Also, if you have got 16bit data bus, Thumb code will run better over it |
| 15:28.32 | lcuk | but non thumb code can do a lot more per op |
| 15:28.53 | trenka | lcuk: why? |
| 15:29.03 | RST38h | BUT you lose: conditional execution (read: more jumps), free shifts, large constants usage |
| 15:29.03 | Stskeeps | johnx: did you see wazd's artwork btw? |
| 15:29.08 | RST38h | lcuk: it can't |
| 15:29.11 | lcuk | because a full 32bit opcode can do multiple step operations in one go because they are encoded within |
| 15:29.18 | johnx | Stskeeps, that background? looks great doesn't it? :D |
| 15:29.27 | Stskeeps | johnx: yeah, and logo |
| 15:29.32 | Stskeeps | i put the background along with titan theme in |
| 15:29.39 | lcuk | sure it can, go read on the full things which can be done with a single 32bit opcode |
| 15:29.48 | RST38h | Thumb has less functionality per opcode, so if you are coding in assembly, you can get better mileage out of 32bit ARm usually |
| 15:30.12 | lcuk | yeah rst, but standard compilers cannot easily use the full functionality well |
| 15:30.22 | johnx | RST38h, "...but non thumb code ..." |
| 15:30.40 | RST38h | johnx: ? |
| 15:30.57 | johnx | RST38h, I think you guys are agreeing :) |
| 15:31.10 | lcuk | johnx, 32bit opcode can do more than 16bit thumb. "non thumb code" == 32bit mode |
| 15:31.22 | RST38h | lcuk: 100% correct |
| 15:31.28 | johnx | lcuk, right, got that. :) |
| 15:31.58 | johnx | Stskeeps, native build dies too |
| 15:32.04 | Stskeeps | johnx: huh |
| 15:32.07 | RST38h | BTW, Nintendo recommends 32bit ARM when running code from SRAM but 16bit thumb when running code from 16bit cartridge ROM |
| 15:32.16 | Stskeeps | johnx: native build dies on tablet too?! |
| 15:32.31 | johnx | Stskeeps, the build worked. hildon-desktop dies |
| 15:32.43 | johnx | Stskeeps, are you seeing a weird gconf error? |
| 15:32.56 | Stskeeps | johnx: yeah, i saw that at one point, but when running as root that didn't show |
| 15:33.34 | RST38h | johnx: Oh, I forgot one more thing: |
| 15:34.11 | RST38h | johnx: Reading SDRAM sequentially is like 1 clock per read but latching a new address (when jumping for example) is 8 clocks or so |
| 15:34.25 | Stskeeps | johnx: so what big changes have we made since hildon-desktop compile? gconf? |
| 15:34.34 | RST38h | so in RISC architectures conditional execution often wins over short jumps |
| 15:34.50 | johnx | Stskeeps, that seems to be the biggest one, doesn't it? |
| 15:34.52 | Stskeeps | johnx: lemme just grab the .deb for the old version |
| 15:35.51 | Stskeeps | johnx: or not, hm |
| 15:36.00 | Stskeeps | notes his backup rotation doesn't work |
| 15:36.16 | Stskeeps | or at least not visibly |

| 17:01.47 | qwerty12 | lardman|home, if you compiled octave3.0_3.0.1-6lenny1.dsc, then I'm pretty sure that you didn't try to package it... |
| 17:02.05 | lardman|home | no, it didn't have lenny in the name |
| 17:02.38 | lardman|home | what's the problem? |
| 17:02.39 | qwerty12 | I have a feeling that you compiled one of the old ones |
| 17:03.20 | qwerty12 | A lot of problems that suggest that it will need a lot more than just packages removed from the build depends. |

| 17:16.37 | qwerty12 | lardman|home, I saw that :). Which is why I rm -rf'ed it before :) |
| 17:16.42 | lardman|home | qwerty12: it needs slice, which needs some binary perl whatsit |
| 17:17.14 | qwerty12 | Meh, I'm not against packaging it myself but I can't even get it to compile straight up then it can piss off |
| 17:17.14 | johnx | Stskeeps, what changed in the new hildon-desktop? is it just a rebuild? |
| 17:17.19 | lardman|home | qwerty12: I did get all the deps built and working a while back, but it must have been one of the older scratchbox installs (which has since been rm -rf'd) |

| 18:02.37 | lardman|home | the dialog that is |

| 18:03.09 | lardman|home | gtk_dialog |
| 18:03.14 | lardman|home | I want to add some widgets to one |
| 18:03.22 | AstralStorm | let me check |
| 18:03.41 | lardman|home | I was just looking at this code here: http://cr.yp.to/2004-494/gaim/0.81-src/gtknotify.c |
| 18:03.51 | wjt | Look at GtkDialog in devhelp |
| 18:03.54 | AstralStorm | http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkdialog.html |
| 18:03.54 | wjt | the first member is a vbox |
| 18:03.57 | AstralStorm | it does have a vbox |
| 18:04.00 | wjt | vbox is a GtkVBox - the main part of the dialog box. |
| 18:04.02 | wjt | action_area is a GtkHButtonBox packed below the dividing GtkHSeparator in the dialog. It is treated exactly the same as any other GtkHButtonBox. |

| 18:05.37 | wjt | You probably can, but new stuff should have Since: annotations so you can tell whether it'll exist in 2.10 |
| 18:05.46 | lardman|home | ah, ok, good plan |
| 18:05.57 | lardman|home | cheers |
| 18:06.10 | wjt | i think you could get a gtk 2.10 tarball, build the docs, and shove them into ~/.local/share... |

| 21:49.13 | pcfe | qwerty12_N800: OK, if it does notihing maemo specific then I'll just cat my CA cert to the end of /etc/pki/tls/certs/c |
| 21:49.21 | lcuk | the problem with the cohesion is that (a) nokia have said we will have fremantle. Not that we will take part in its building, that they are doing it and it will be released |
| 21:49.21 | Stskeeps | it's difficult to contribute "to maemo" as maemo is 1000 different projects :P |

| 21:50.10 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, the discussion isn't about Nokia or any Nokia projects. |
| 21:50.25 | lcuk | no, its about what we do whilst nokia works on their fremantle masterpiece |
| 21:50.46 | Stskeeps | what does 'cohesion' mean anyway? |
| 21:50.47 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 21:50.55 | lcuk | lets make the thread sticky |
| 21:51.11 | RST38h | it is about abandoning the developers community with Diablo and telling that Nokia does not really care about diablo any more |
| 21:51.24 | Stskeeps | i don't really blame them, though |
| 21:51.33 | RST38h | And the stuff Nokia cares about is outside of developers reach for now |
| 21:51.35 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, Fremantle alphas will be here soon. |
| 21:51.35 | lcuk | but whats replaced it |
| 21:51.50 | RST38h | No, they have a business strategy and that strategy is to sell more devices, newer devices |
| 21:51.52 | lcuk | yes, and so will liqbase alphas |
| 21:52.11 | RST38h | Unfortunately, outside development does not yet align with this strategy |
| 21:52.16 | lcuk | ill have a core widget that will run nice and touchably on this and next device, ill need to build apps just like nokia |
| 21:52.21 | Jaffa | RST38h: And they know that a vibrant development community is part of that |
| 21:52.22 | lcuk | but the one thing im doing is here in the community |
| 21:53.03 | Jaffa | RXsT38h: It does. Supporting devices with orders of magnitude less power doesn't align with releasing the best h/w and s/w they can |

| 21:53.21 | Jaffa | s/RXst38h/RST38h |
| 21:53.49 | RST38h | Jaffa: Right now it does not, as evidenced by us all stuck with Diablo |
| 21:54.30 | RST38h | Jaffa: If it did, Nokia would invest into maintaining some interest in Diablo until Fremantle is ready and maybe even releasing backported feature updates |
| 21:54.32 | Stskeeps | if nokia gets off their asses with some things, soon we are able to make our own images, both diablo and mer :P |
| 21:54.40 | RST38h | Jaffa: This is what Microsoft is doing BTW |
| 21:55.37 | Stskeeps | they haven't actually removed the stuff to support old HW, in source, honestly |
| 21:55.44 | Stskeeps | mostly it's about replacing some packages |
| 21:56.01 | lcuk | no, but if the UI is being built with clutter you can be damned sure it wont be used |
| 21:56.22 | Stskeeps | lcuk: window manager, hildon-desktop, and such, yes, but apps are still hildon |
| 21:56.22 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 21:56.35 | Stskeeps | and we -have- a fremantle diablo ui hildon-desktop |
| 21:56.35 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 21:56.38 | lcuk | so it will flicker backwards and forwards between old style and new? |
| 21:56.42 | RST38h | I hope the original hildon desktop will still be around :) |
| 21:56.45 | Stskeeps | theming |
| 21:57.00 | lcuk | screen flicker - opengl context vs x11 standard |
| 21:57.24 | Shadow___X | dpkg --configure -a does not fix the portmap issue |
| 21:57.38 | lcuk | clutter can exist within a widget - i believe offscreen GTK rendering and shoving to an ogl surface isnt optimal |

| 23:11.33 | limepi | I'm considering just going back to chinook because I'd rather have the ability to type vs. microb crashing slightly less |
| 23:11.36 | lcuk | but other than that it works |
| 23:11.36 | RST38h | limepi: Have you paired it well? |
| 23:11.48 | Shadow___X | qwerty12_N800: with this post [hack] Getting rid of "dangling symlinks" and unable to install <package> would that cause permanent damage or is it temporary |
| 23:12.01 | limepi | RST28h: I tried pretty much every possible permutation |
| 23:12.19 | lcuk | Shadow___X, you would be better to read the whole thread and see - qwertys initial hack was revised |
| 23:12.21 | RST38h | limepi: you are supposed to enter the security code on the keyboard itself and press enter |
| 23:12.29 | limepi | yes, I did that numberous times |
| 23:12.34 | limepi | *numerous |
| 23:12.43 | qwerty12_N800 | Shadow___X, *what* damage? you can't install/remove portmap anyway |
| 23:13.09 | limepi | with the message "pairing failed: device resources exceeded" |
| 23:13.25 | RST38h | oh there was a bug for that |
| 23:13.34 | Shadow___X | qwerty12_N800: well i just want to fix the portmap installation then have wizard mounter work thats all |
| 23:13.45 | limepi | yeah... I saw the bug report and apparently there is some funky low-level fix |
| 23:14.01 | limepi | but I just want to know what build will give me my keyboard back |
| 23:14.25 | lcuk | has it been that long since i plugged in kb :O |
| 23:14.33 | RST38h | it should work in all "builds" |
| 23:14.48 | limepi | it _should_ but it __doesn't__ |

| 23:17.33 | Stskeeps | think it's included |
| 23:17.53 | lcuk | cos i think i can make that an option when rendering bitmaps :) |

| 23:43.59 | GeneralAntilles | But adding cellular to Maemo (even only in a particular version) will destroy the whole OS. |

| 23:44.43 | GeneralAntilles | Limitations placed on the OS by providers |
| 23:44.50 | lcuk | then how does it run on our devices ? |
| 23:44.55 | GeneralAntilles | Android isn't really open, whatever they may want you to think. |
| 23:45.15 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, er, I'm talking about application space for 3rd-parties |
| 23:45.17 | lcuk | the game you play ontop of linux doesnt take away from the fact its linux underneath |
| 23:45.25 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, yes it does. |
| 23:45.37 | GeneralAntilles | Every played with a Linux phone from Motorola? |
| 23:45.46 | GeneralAntilles | The fact that something's Linux really means very little in the long run. |
| 23:46.25 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, if Maemo becomes a phone OS, everything about the OS is then colored by cellular requirements. |
| 23:46.51 | GeneralAntilles | Besides, 4.1" screens don't suit phones |
| 23:47.17 | GeneralAntilles | Something as simple as targeting smaller screens will have a profound effect on the OS |
| 23:47.45 | GeneralAntilles | Perhaps if you were talking about a Maemo Software with the manpower to handle supporting a cellular and non-cellular platform, then we might talk. |
| 23:47.50 | GeneralAntilles | But we're not and they don't. |
| 23:47.59 | lcuk | i would love for this n810 to have been a phone :$ |
| 23:48.06 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, they don't have the manpower to push some small maintenance upgrades for Diablo |
| 23:48.07 | lcuk | but it also needs to be a camera |
| 23:48.15 | GeneralAntilles | just think what evils cellular would invoke upon us. |
| 23:49.09 | lcuk | like what? |
| 23:49.43 | GeneralAntilles | Operator requirements, government requirements. |
| 23:49.50 | GeneralAntilles | You wouldn't be able to implement liqbase. :) |
| 23:50.06 | GeneralAntilles | and the other stuff I enumerated above. |
| 23:50.08 | GeneralAntilles | It's bad news. |
| 23:50.20 | lcuk | thats poppycock! liqbase will run on anything now - im gonna have it on a toaster by weekend :P |
| 23:50.34 | GeneralAntilles | A toast is not a cellphone. |
| 23:50.47 | GeneralAntilles | Get back to me when you can run it on the G1 or one of Motorola's Linux phones. |

| 23:53.31 | lcuk | i am, the point is cellular doesnt drain the battery unless you are using it loads |
| 23:53.39 | GeneralAntilles | Yes it does |
| 23:53.39 | lcuk | just like wifi doesnt drain unless you are using it loads |
| 23:53.46 | GeneralAntilles | It drains it more than an N8x0 without cellular |
| 23:53.57 | mavhc | it drains it 1/7th per day |
| 23:53.57 | GeneralAntilles | But MY point was that the tablets have limited battery life compared to phones. |
| 23:54.01 | GeneralAntilles | Which is what I think you missed. |
| 23:54.09 | lcuk | my n810 needs charging every 4 hours if im connected to wifi, my phone goes for days/weeks |
| 23:54.19 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, WiFi drops idle time from 2 weeks to 2-4 days. |
| 23:54.47 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, that's because of your inane resistance to buying a real router. |
| 23:54.51 | mavhc | isn't the wifi supposed to powersave? |
| 23:55.07 | GeneralAntilles | It is, but lcuk doesn't have a real router for some damn reason. |
| 23:55.33 | GeneralAntilles | So his can't ever turn the radio off. |
| 23:55.33 | lcuk | GeneralAntilles, my point is, im *used* to that already with my nit - having it as a phone will not even effect my uptime one little bit |
| 23:55.37 | lcuk | of course i turn the radio off |
| 23:55.40 | lcuk | when im not using it |
| 23:56.11 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, I'm not interested in having my emergency device reboot loop on my in the middle of a 911 call or die before I get home at the end of the day. |
