00:32.52CIA-5spacegrant: 03dowty * r97 10dino/trunk/power/firmware/ (command.asm ext_io.asm i2c.asm): The read-write-verify loop seems to be working, but still needs more tweaking and a few more safety features.. and there seems to be something wrong with port configuration again
00:34.57CIA-5navi-misc: 03evan * r4481 10xchat-gnome/fe-gnome/textgui.c: Font is set from gconf now, instead of hard coded into the gui. Still needs a good deal more work.

02:11.02scanline"1.10 Proof by eminent authority
02:11.02scanline"I saw Karp in the elevator and he said it was probably NP-complete.""
02:12.11scanlineIs this the same list of invalid proofs that one guy used for the existence of god?
02:13.52scanlineooh
02:13.55scanline"2.3 Proof by demonstrating equivalence to a problem thought to be hard
02:13.55scanlineTypically factoring integers or finding logarithms in finite groups. This method of proof is one of the two pillars of modern cryptography."
02:13.57scanlineI like that one too
02:36.42CIA-5navi-misc: 03micah * r4484 10cube64/notes/ (crc_test_vectors.p get_crc_test_vectors.py): Add a program to collect CRC test vectors, and save the results so we don't need real hardware around to run the rest of this stuff

03:30.17scanline40GB
03:30.48purple_cowmind if'n i borrow it tomorrow night and fill all available space temporarily? :)
03:31.04scanlineas long as you don't fill more than available space ;)
03:31.08scanlineneed to make some backups?
03:31.27scanlineThere is a lot of music on there, but it should all be stuff that's on navi so you can temporarily remove it
03:31.46purple_cowno - we're trying to find music for this demo thingy

03:35.25fileI think it's time for.... sleep!
03:36.07Cae|Worksomeone remind me to change my timecard tomorrow. it occurred to me that I filled it out intending to leave at 6:30 and left at 7:00..and intended to play around while waiting for my ride between 6:30 and 7:00, and instead finished up part of my paper...
03:37.01Caeso my mother asked me what kind of cars most people seem to have. 2/4 door, manual/auto, make/model..
03:37.07CaeI'm hoping that's a good sign
03:37.28scanlinedarth_mall: your disreputable men are here
03:37.39CaeI also find it amusing that I gravitate towards the Toyota Celica.
03:37.59Caeit has nothing to do with the car. it has everything to do with video games and kicking ass.
03:47.42laodamasand i'm all out of bubblegum...
03:49.28darth_mallscanline: I have disreputable men?
03:49.49Caescanline: darth_mall has reputable men?
03:50.26darth_mallCae: well... no
03:50.48Caeso you just have..men
03:50.55darth_mallCae: actually... no
03:53.20purple_cowdarth_mall: i think we are going to be doing tank :)

04:24.39Caeincome tax sucks, hm?
04:24.49lurgynaw
04:24.59lurgyconsidering you'll likely get most of that back in april anyways
04:25.05lurgyprobably all of it
04:25.11lurgyseeing as how you're a student
04:25.12Caewe'll see.
04:25.22Caeincome tax really, really screws me over
04:25.35lurgyhow?
04:26.14Caewell. I get off a little better now with the apartments and more bills. which is ironic. however, most of my expenses are non-deductible, and I'm a single non-dependent with no dependents.
04:26.37lurgytuition is deductable, no?
04:26.40Caethe last two years, scholarships alone guaranteed that I paid tax, rather than getting anything back
04:26.47lurgyah
04:26.54Caeyes, but still.
04:27.05lurgywell
04:27.06Caemay be slightly better next april
04:27.29lurgybased on what i learned yesterday in a really boring music entrepreneurship seminar..
04:27.33Caehehe
04:27.58lurgyi could start a small musical ensemble, fight the IRS to get it declared a 503(c) nonprofit, and accept donations from you
04:28.18lurgythus giving you another deduction
04:29.33Caelol
04:30.13Caehow much does car insurance run per month?
04:30.20Caeroughly
04:39.40CIA-5navi-misc: 03micah * r4486 10cube64/notes/crc.py: Yay, a working small-table version of the reverse-engineered N64 CRC algorithm
04:46.32lurgyactually.. i have no idea
04:46.59lurgyi know that for teenagers it's cheaper for girls than boys, but.. it might have evened out by now, who knows
04:49.45scanlineyay, it's that crazy cool episode
04:49.51scanlinewith all the flashbacks
04:50.26lurgyof sesame street?

04:51.31scanlineyay
04:51.39lurgyyay
04:51.47lurgyit's a viable sesame street episode then
04:53.58Caewhen did the playstation come out?

05:50.38cheerios7.5%?
05:51.29ChipX86I think so?
05:52.18cheeriosthx ;)
05:52.26cheeriostrying to figure out how much more impoverished I'll make myself by getting a new box
05:52.39ChipX86heh
05:52.48cheeriosjust over 2 grand...
05:53.02scanlineyilkes
05:53.08scanlinehow could a desktop computer cost that much?
05:54.00Cae|Sleep'night
05:54.07ChipX86g'night
05:54.24cheerios*shrug* s'not build-yer-own.. plus, I'm one of those weird Mac people
05:54.25cheerios;)
05:54.34scanlineoh
05:54.47scanlineyou could get a really nice desktop for less than $1000 :P
05:54.54scanlinenicer than a mac
05:54.58cheeriospfft
05:55.04cheeriosthat is DEFINATELY a matter of opinion ;)
05:55.20ChipX86you can get a nice Commodore 128D for less than that!
05:55.31cheeriosI confess, I just can't USE windows these days, and I like linux, but it'd drive me batty to use it day in, day out.
05:56.04darth_mallcheerios: you're going to spend 2 grand on a mac?
05:56.20cheeriosdarth_mall: well, my mum's gonna spend most of it... ;)
05:56.39darth_mallotherwise it'll get awfully expensive sending it to the shop every month ;)
05:57.03cheerios*raises eyebrows*
05:57.07darth_mallactually, it's not a laptop is it?
05:57.09ChipX86uh oh, not this again
05:57.10cheerioswe've had no problems
05:57.13cheeriosand no, not a laptop
05:59.02darth_malloh, then you'll probably be fine ^^
05:59.02cheeriosI need power more than portability
05:59.02scanlinecheerios: you can get WAY more power per $ with athlon hardware than anything apple makes
05:59.02scanlineor go with intel for power and reliability :)
05:59.02darth_mallmost of the apple desktops I've known have behaved very well
05:59.06cheerios*nod*
06:00.44darth_mallit's they're laptops that like to shit in your cereal
06:00.44scanlineI'd definitely like an apple desktop if I got one for free, but I'd never spend that much on one
06:00.44ChipX86I've never seen a laptop do that
06:00.44cheeriosya know I've seen some anecdotal evidence of that...
06:00.44cheeriosbut the one's I'm around (and that's... 5, at last count) haven't had any problems
06:00.44scanlineit's apple laptops I despise now
06:00.44ChipX86that's very strange behavior for a laptop
06:00.44ChipX86eep
06:00.44darth_malls/they're/their/
06:00.44cheeriosto each their own
06:01.02darth_malland so has scanline and gonkulator and jigga
06:01.02darth_malland my brother
06:01.02darth_mallthe only difference is, that gonkulator still insists on buying more iBooks
06:01.02darth_malls/,//
06:01.02cheerioslol
06:02.42darth_mallthe only stories I've heard of people who haven't had any problems with their iBooks haven't owned them for very long
