| 05:17.57 | mheath | The shutdown of freedb kinda bugs me |
| 05:18.10 | mheath | because it really exposes the downside to open source software |
| 05:18.36 | mheath | Heres a project that dozens of open source programs depend on.. |
| 05:18.53 | mheath | Instantly made completely worthless, because of a minor disagreement between 3 people |
| 05:20.21 | mheath | I've always viewed that as a positive of commercial software: before you see anything, you get a relatively polished version, with warranties, support guarantees....all from a company with the interest and financial backing to consistently guarantee support. |
| 05:20.57 | mheath | All open source software, on the other hand, seems subject to the whim of a core of extremely interested developers for a given project |
| 05:23.07 | jnbek | yea, but all in all, open source is still a better bet, since you can always pick a project that's been abandoned and continue development at anytime, if a corporation, goes out of business or what not, you spent 300 dollars for an application you can't improve on, and get little support for, though i can't think of a case where that's happened, i'm sure it has.. |

| 13:45.22 | ^Migs^ | I really don't care about the xbox |
| 13:45.29 | ^Migs^ | I'm not a console gamer |

| 13:46.10 | ^Migs^ | I don't know why anyone would limit themselves by playing consoles, when they can have a PC |
| 13:46.16 | ^Migs^ | oh, that'd be cool |

| 13:47.47 | ^Migs^ | I think everyone looks like they're having an epileptic seizure when they do it |
| 13:47.52 | ^Migs^ | oh yeah, of course |
| 13:48.06 | ^Migs^ | my wife and I haven't been dancing in a long time. We need to go again. |

| 13:50.36 | ^Migs^ | my kids would love it |
| 13:50.44 | ^Migs^ | there's kid versions of dance pads, too |
| 13:52.31 | graphyx | reawlly? |
| 13:52.34 | elg | speaking of controllers, every once in awhile I drool over things like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000056SPM/sr=8-1/qid=1151934723/ref=sr_1_1/103-4547114-1039035?ie=UTF8 |
| 13:52.36 | graphyx | Any that you would recommend? |
| 13:53.04 | graphyx | perhaps that is what I will get for my kids for my birthday. |
| 13:53.22 | graphyx | A ddr style game with 2 kid or adult pads. |
| 13:53.38 | graphyx | That way we can play together. |
| 13:53.57 | ^Migs^ | I don't know. I just saw one in a toy store ad the other day. |
| 13:54.12 | graphyx | k |
| 13:54.13 | ^Migs^ | the dance pad itself lights up, so it's like a Simon game. |
| 13:55.06 | elg | looks like xbox 360 uses usb, and xbox is really mostly usb and you can hardware-hack it to a usb connector |
| 13:55.32 | elg | I do have an extra usb cable I could cannibalize so I don't have to buy a $15 adapter and get to play with my soldering gun again |
| 13:56.35 | elg | there's a common thread about these dance pads - they tend to wear out quickly with moderate to heavy use |
| 13:57.08 | elg | for that reason I'd recommend sticking with the kind that are as dumb as possible (don't have the game integrated) |
| 13:57.24 | elg | the higher-quality ones do better, of course |

| 14:31.14 | graphyx | elg: Why do you say that rss is the reason slashdot is less read? |
| 14:31.27 | graphyx | explain this to me. |
| 14:31.32 | elg | because people can read the stories without getting sucked into the comments |
| 14:31.50 | elg | unless they're bored, then they can read the comics^Wcomments for amusement |
| 14:31.55 | graphyx | When I said marketshare I meant how many people visit the site. |
| 14:32.03 | elg | exactly |
| 14:32.04 | graphyx | so rss shouldn't lower that. |
| 14:32.13 | elg | that depends on your definition of visit I guess |
| 14:32.29 | elg | and do you have stats saying that hits at /. are sinking? |
| 14:33.37 | graphyx | There was a posting on digg about that. |
| 14:34.26 | elg | digg is worse than /. |
| 14:34.41 | elg | instead of just immature comments, you get immature anarchy throughout |
| 14:34.56 | graphyx | well if you worry about the comments.. |

| 14:36.25 | elg | digg stories are more likely to be innacurate, sensational, or immature than /. (which is more likely to be innacurate, sensational, and immature than say bbc news) |

| 17:13.51 | elg | trackback's a cool idea, but I'm just going to turn it off |
| 17:13.59 | levi | You could queue trackbacks and programmatically check the given links to see if they really contain links to your page. |

| 17:16.07 | elg | luckily I have no real trackbacks (none!) |
| 17:18.18 | levi | There's a blogging philosophy that says you should comment on other people's blogs by writing an entry on your own and doing a trackback. There are some definite advantages to that, but unfortunately the practice hasn't become widespread, and trackback spam is rampant. |

| 21:15.21 | Uncle_Jesse | takes me 20 mins just to figure out how to get an operator |
| 21:15.30 | Uncle_Jesse | then it's luck of the draw if you get an american |
| 21:15.46 | Uncle_Jesse | then they freakin' cancel your order when they said it wasn't possible |
| 21:16.02 | Uncle_Jesse | then you spend 20 mins more trying to get an operator after calling dhl to find that out |
| 21:16.19 | Uncle_Jesse | then you're on hold 20 mins more on your cell phone while they try to revert it with dhl |
| 21:19.09 | Uncle_Jesse | Then you wait 20 mins more for a new tracking number to get it sent back |
| 21:19.49 | Uncle_Jesse | all the time you still don't know if they really understand you |
| 21:19.55 | Uncle_Jesse | I really should record these calls |
| 21:19.58 | Uncle_Jesse | I could be famous |

| 21:23.36 | lars-ut | Uncle_Jesse: Did Dell offer you a gift cert for a free squishee? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_products_in_The_Simpsons#Squishee) |
| 21:27.36 | Uncle_Jesse | lars-ut: I only wish |
| 21:27.46 | Uncle_Jesse | they wanted 7-10 bus days to resend it to me |
| 21:27.48 | Uncle_Jesse | I told them to shove it |
| 21:28.04 | Uncle_Jesse | well, I asked for an american supervisor and they couldn't do that, so then I told them to shove it |
| 21:28.23 | lars-ut | Uncle_Jesse: was the english that bad? |
| 21:28.39 | Uncle_Jesse | lars-ut: well, bad enough that they though I said to cancel the order in the first place |
| 21:28.54 | Uncle_Jesse | and bad enough that they still think it's my fault the order was cancelled |
| 21:29.03 | lars-ut | Uncle_Jesse: icky. |
| 21:29.07 | Uncle_Jesse | she even tried to argue it was my fault |
| 21:29.19 | Uncle_Jesse | guess outside the US they don't believe the customer is always right |
| 21:29.33 | lars-ut | Uncle_Jesse: sounds like the "trying to cancel AOL" brand of customer service |
| 21:29.35 | Uncle_Jesse | word to the wise - *never* buy from Dell for *any* reason |

| 21:31.08 | ibot | gern geschehen, Uncle_Jesse |
| 21:31.48 | lars-ut | Uncle_Jesse: I bought a point-and-shoot camera from the local Costco a few months back - 5xoptical zoom - quite happy with it. Plus Costco will give me cash in hand if I ever want to bring it back. Excellent returns/customer service there. |
| 21:32.21 | Uncle_Jesse | heh - I may actually try that |
| 21:32.21 | lars-ut | I brought back an LCD there w/o a box, w/o a receipt and they took it back |
| 21:32.48 | Uncle_Jesse | funny thing is, the site with the really bad reviews cancelled my order really quickly, excellent customer service |
| 21:32.56 | Uncle_Jesse | whereas Dell, with the good reviews took forever |
| 21:32.59 | Uncle_Jesse | don't understand that |
| 21:33.21 | lars-ut | makes ya' wanna question those reviews |
| 21:33.32 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - think I might post a good one |

| 21:46.23 | RyanE | of course, you could do it in a Windows Qemu session under Linux with one machine. |
