| 00:27.06 | ChipX86 | my copy of VMware is better than what you can buy in the stores. It randomly displays th Hitchhiker's Guide to you |
| 00:30.29 | kergoth | yay home. |
| 00:30.41 | cheers | ? |
| 00:31.25 | ChipX86 | ? for me or kergoth? |

| 00:31.54 | ChipX86 | yep :D |
| 00:31.55 | cheers | you |
| 00:32.02 | cheers | what exactly IS VMware? |
| 00:32.09 | ChipX86 | a computer written in software :D |
| 00:32.21 | cheers | so an emulator |
| 00:32.22 | cheers | ? |
| 00:32.28 | laodamas | ouch:"Itanium sales fall $13.4bn shy of $14bn forecast" |
| 00:32.34 | cheers | eew |
| 00:32.41 | cheers | that's no good |
| 00:32.42 | ChipX86 | cheers: yep, basically |
| 00:32.56 | ChipX86 | run windows in linux, linux in windows, windows in windows, whatever |
| 00:33.02 | cheers | *nod* |
| 00:39.14 | purple_cow | laodamas: i think that' |
| 00:39.16 | purple_cow | s net, not gross |
| 00:40.28 | ChipX86 | hurray for off-by-ones |
| 00:40.43 | purple_cow | they've been pulling a profit on ia64 for a few years, it just hasn't grown as fast as they've hoped |
| 00:49.14 | *** join/#tacobeam Patlabor221 (~JeffM@Patlabor221.active.supporter.pdpc) |
| 00:57.56 | scanline | hahaq |
| 00:58.07 | lurgy | scanline: did he successfully register you? :) |
| 00:58.09 | scanline | there are guys going door-to-door making sure people aren't republican |
| 00:58.15 | scanline | I should already be registered |
| 00:58.38 | lurgy | scanline: are you registered here? |
| 00:58.42 | scanline | yes |
| 00:58.45 | lurgy | yay here |
| 00:58.45 | scanline | I think |
| 00:58.55 | ChipX86 | my manager's ringtone for her phone is TMBG - Istanbul |
| 00:59.00 | scanline | there were some folks doing voter registration after my anthropology class :) |
| 00:59.14 | lurgy | yep, they're everywhere |
| 00:59.31 | lurgy | the democratic party picked a wise place to look for unregistered voters to recruit ;) |
| 00:59.48 | lurgy | and to them i wish all the best luck in this election.. |
| 00:59.51 | orchid | ChipX86: heh, thats a good one |
| 00:59.56 | lurgy | not that it will help =p |
| 01:00.22 | lurgy | we'll just have to put up with dubbya for another 4 years.. hurray for term limits |
| 01:00.41 | ChipX86 | boo for 2 terms. The first term gets to be used to campaign for the 2nd |
| 01:00.59 | lurgy | well, if it weren't.. |
| 01:01.04 | lurgy | er |
| 01:01.32 | lurgy | well if there weren't any at all, we'd be forced to stick with dubbya until the "War on Terror" ended.. and it only ends when he decides to say it's done |
| 01:01.37 | lurgy | and his advisors aren't *that* stupid |
| 01:01.58 | ChipX86 | no, I mean one term would be great :) |
| 01:02.00 | scanline | we really need a way for the president to only get as much time in office as people think he should get |
| 01:02.02 | lurgy | yeah :) |
| 01:02.04 | scanline | yaknow, like voting, but effective |
| 01:02.11 | ChipX86 | yeah |
| 01:02.16 | scanline | hmm |
| 01:02.19 | ChipX86 | ah-ha! |
| 01:02.23 | scanline | a limit of only one consecutive term would be nice |
| 01:02.24 | ChipX86 | the idea has already been thought up |
| 01:02.26 | lurgy | it would be like roosevelt all over again.. except instead of being one of the best presidents of the 20th century, he'd be one of the worst of the 21st.. |
| 01:02.34 | ChipX86 | we take the idea of cell phone plan minutes |
| 01:02.45 | ChipX86 | and adapt it to the presidency |
| 01:02.51 | scanline | we limit the number of weekend and evening terms? |
| 01:02.56 | lurgy | hehe |
| 01:02.59 | ChipX86 | yep |
| 01:03.00 | lurgy | and charge them for being president? |
| 01:03.05 | scanline | hehe, yep |
| 01:03.06 | ChipX86 | they have to guess how long they're going to be in office |
| 01:03.12 | scanline | haha |
| 01:03.13 | lurgy | that would be great.. we could get the CFO of Enron as our president :P |
| 01:03.13 | ChipX86 | and we vote every week on TV |
| 01:03.14 | kergoth | hah |
| 01:03.14 | lurgy | or bill gates |
| 01:03.20 | ChipX86 | if they go over the minutes, they have to pay a fine |
| 01:03.43 | ChipX86 | it'd rebuild the economy! |
| 01:03.46 | lurgy | or they could go for an unlimited minutes plan |
| 01:03.49 | lurgy | it would be bad news |
| 01:03.50 | scanline | we could have a dozen presidents all in office at once, and every day we get to decide which one actually gets to make decisions |
| 01:03.55 | ChipX86 | lurgy: only in select areas |
| 01:03.59 | lurgy | hehe |
| 01:04.00 | kergoth | hahah |
| 01:04.20 | kergoth | lets do a who gets to be the president reality tv show |
| 01:04.23 | scanline | hehe |
| 01:04.25 | ChipX86 | :D |
| 01:04.26 | lurgy | oh lord no |
| 01:04.28 | lurgy | :) |
| 01:04.30 | scanline | when presidents attack! |
| 01:04.32 | kergoth | hehe |
| 01:04.42 | lurgy | or on Fox.. "When Presidents Fall Down" |
| 01:04.52 | lurgy | perhaps "Presidents in Alaska" |
| 01:04.57 | lurgy | "Who Wants to Elect a Millionaire" |
| 01:05.00 | scanline | hmm.. need a "world's blankiest blank" show too |
| 01:05.07 | kergoth | hehe |
| 01:05.16 | lurgy | "World's Redneckiest President" |
| 01:05.28 | lurgy | oh wait, already have him |
| 01:05.32 | lurgy | the show would be redundant.. :P |
| 01:05.33 | scanline | "World's funniest political videos!" |
| 01:05.39 | kergoth | haha |
| 01:05.45 | lurgy | hehe |
| 01:06.04 | scanline | that's where they insert sound effects and voice-overs on all the campaign speeches, and get 80s comedians to laugh at them |
| 01:06.17 | ChipX86 | hurray for developer text insulting you when you don't have a VM loaded |
| 01:06.22 | lurgy | "Read My Lips: NO NEW CABBAGES" |
| 01:06.22 | laodamas | i nominate bill Cosby |
| 01:06.52 | lurgy | i nominate sean connery |
| 01:06.52 | scanline | sean cosby! |
| 01:06.52 | lurgy | he's funny, just doesn't know it |
| 01:06.52 | lurgy | yep |
| 01:06.54 | lurgy | scanline understands |
| 01:06.57 | kergoth | i'd like to see denis leary do that voice over |
| 01:07.10 | lurgy | ^_^ |
| 01:07.25 | kergoth | just spontaniously break out into song.. "asshole" |
| 01:07.28 | kergoth | itd be great |
| 01:07.54 | scanline | :) |
| 01:10.53 | laodamas | Colorado is 47/47/2 bush/kerry/nader |
| 01:11.11 | scanline | yay, nader's winning |
| 01:11.18 | ChipX86 | bbl |
| 01:12.48 | laodamas | hmm, MS sent me a 128MB USB keychain disk |
| 01:13.21 | scanline | why? |
| 01:13.24 | laodamas | partner program freebies |
| 01:13.30 | scanline | ah |
| 01:13.32 | scanline | what's on it? |
| 01:13.38 | lurgy | laodamas: what's that URL again? for the electoral dealy? |
| 01:13.40 | laodamas | nothing |
| 01:13.49 | laodamas | lurgy: http://www.electoral-vote.com/ |
| 01:13.56 | lurgy | ah, thx |
| 01:14.10 | laodamas | currently niether canidate has enough electorial votes to win |
| 01:15.30 | lurgy | yep |
| 01:15.54 | lurgy | maybe the closeness of the vote in this state will be enough to convince darth_mall to vote in this election.. |
| 01:16.25 | lurgy | since a vote in a close state is considerably more powerful than a vote in an uncontested state |
| 01:17.37 | lurgy | voting republican in new york is pretty much a waste of time |
| 01:18.00 | lurgy | :) |
| 01:18.17 | lurgy | even if you are in an unconstested state ;) |
| 01:18.46 | scanline | is there anywhere online you can verify that you're registered? I kinda want to make sure those folks did all the registrationy paperwork right |
| 01:18.58 | laodamas | scanline: HA |
| 01:19.18 | scanline | heh |
| 01:21.07 | lurgy | scanline: there might be, buried somewhere in the city of boulder website |
| 01:22.13 | laodamas | lurgy: uncontested states have the nasty habit of changing sides at the last minute due to lazy voters |
| 01:22.31 | lurgy | laodamas: prexactly |
| 01:24.07 | lurgy | laodamas: though not as much as with contested states ;) |
| 01:25.35 | lurgy | yep |
| 01:25.45 | lurgy | or celebrity morris dance |
| 01:26.14 | laodamas | rush vs. moore |
| 01:27.14 | laodamas | and in completely unrelated news: http://www.blackboxvoting.org/?q=node/view/78 |
| 01:27.30 | lurgy | http://www.electoral-vote.com/states/colorado.html <- if only that projection were even remotely viable :P |
| 01:28.17 | scanline | laodamas: hah, just read that after I got home |
| 01:28.27 | scanline | laodamas: such an ugly system |
| 01:28.38 | darth_mall | lurgy: I have every intention of voting |
| 01:28.50 | lurgy | darth_mall: hehe, hurray :) |
| 01:28.56 | laodamas | give me an apple II and ten minutes and I will create a voting system that works |
| 01:29.21 | lurgy | hehe |
| 01:29.26 | laodamas | or a linux box and a very small shell script |
| 01:29.27 | lurgy | can apple II's really count that high? :P |
| 01:31.46 | darth_mall | wb slimspace |
| 01:31.59 | slimspace | thanka darth_mall |
| 01:32.00 | scanline | goddamn OSNews.. eugenia in some revelation discovers that embedded systems have open source bootloaders, and calls them "Open Source BIOS" in the headlines |
| 01:32.07 | scanline | hi slimspace |
| 01:32.12 | darth_mall | lol |
| 01:32.14 | slimspace | hey scanline |
| 01:32.26 | slimspace | hehe |
| 01:32.43 | lurgy | ooh, it's slimspace |
| 01:32.54 | slimspace | lurgy: where? |
| 01:33.03 | lurgy | slimspace: right next to you! |
| 01:33.11 | lurgy | darth_mall: is your Logic textbook here? |
| 01:33.13 | slimspace | gaa! |
| 01:33.34 | lurgy | slimspace: no, other way! |
| 01:33.46 | darth_mall | lurgy: in my room, on the floor at the foot of my bed |
| 01:33.57 | slimspace | lurgy: I don't see him |
| 01:34.06 | darth_mall | slimspace: did you hear the great news? I'm gonna be workin' with you and scanline |
| 01:34.17 | lurgy | darth_mall: okeydoke, i'll get a start on it.. i still think we might as well turn in just one between the two of us, but it's probably best if we each do it |
| 01:34.19 | slimspace | darth_mall: yeah, I did. Awsome news |
| 01:34.34 | slimspace | darth_mall: can't wait to let our code loose on you :) |
| 01:34.47 | lurgy | darth_mall: ooh, you are? yay! congrats |
| 01:36.27 | darth_mall | lol |
| 01:36.33 | darth_mall | lurgy: are we allowed to turn in just one? |
| 01:36.38 | lurgy | darth_mall: yeah |
| 01:36.55 | lurgy | darth_mall: iirc he said we can turn in one copy of the homework for groups of 2 or 3 |
| 01:39.57 | darth_mall | nifty |
| 01:40.32 | lurgy | hehe |
| 01:40.36 | lurgy | right |
| 01:40.38 | lurgy | ;) |
| 01:40.55 | darth_mall | judging by these clouds and the fact that this lab is supposed to happen in 50 minutes I'm guessing it's not happening |
| 01:41.22 | lurgy | yay |
| 01:41.24 | scanline | no clouds for you! |
| 01:41.38 | lurgy | ooh |
| 01:41.46 | lurgy | i wonder which one deep blue is |
| 01:42.00 | lurgy | Black seems to be opening with the secilian defense |
| 01:42.50 | scanline | so I'm still tempted to write my own HDL... |
| 01:43.10 | lurgy | heh |
| 01:43.15 | scanline | MyHDL is a neat idea, but the implementation is really buggu |
| 01:43.20 | scanline | er, buggy |
| 01:43.23 | lurgy | hehe |
| 01:43.39 | laodamas | its a feature |
| 01:43.40 | scanline | and I'd rather start something that's exactly what I've been thinking about than fix MyHDL and end up with a compromise anyway |
| 01:44.19 | scanline | but I should really resist writing an HDL... |
| 01:45.30 | lurgy | hmm, 12 questions |
| 01:45.36 | scanline | I should really finish putting together this rasterwand so it's out of the way and I can bring it to work :) |
| 01:45.51 | kergoth | bored. |
| 01:46.00 | lurgy | wow, a typo in the very first problem |
| 01:46.03 | lurgy | this can't be good |
| 01:46.06 | lurgy | unless ruxe is a word |
| 01:46.07 | scanline | darth_mall: you should finish soon too, for one of the same reasons :P |
| 01:46.13 | slimspace | scanline: a new rasterwand? |
| 01:46.13 | lurgy | and means something like 'rule' |
| 01:46.46 | scanline | slimspace: well, I've had an extra non-assembled one for a while now, and darth_mall started on his |
| 01:47.05 | slimspace | ah |
| 01:47.14 | scanline | slimspace: we already have one in the living room and one in my room, so I might finish this extra one and hook it up to rex :) |
| 01:47.23 | slimspace | hehe |
| 01:47.24 | scanline | we could put mission status on it or something |
| 01:47.43 | slimspace | hmm...maybe we could have it display svn commits |
| 01:47.48 | scanline | hehe |
| 01:48.20 | scanline | heh, we need a rasterwand RSS reader |
| 01:48.49 | slimspace | shouldn't be too hard to build |
| 01:50.05 | darth_mall | scanline: I'll get to it as soon as I can |
| 01:50.08 | darth_mall | maybe this weekend |
| 01:52.04 | scanline | also, ben and trev are hopefully coming this weekend :) |
| 01:54.49 | scanline | darth_mall: when's this thingy at spacegrant you mentioned tomorrow? |
