| 17:41.35 | elg | that was an interesting one. kind of eerie that he picked 1995 |
| 17:41.58 | elg | as that's when windows 95 was released, and it was definitely Not Good, and Not Unix |
| 17:42.01 | elg | it was C though :) |
| 17:42.09 | levi | Yeah. |
| 17:42.11 | elg | and worse |
| 17:42.28 | levi | Of course, '95 was somewhere around when Linux really started taking off. |
| 17:43.04 | levi | I think I'd first installed it a few years previous to that, but it hadn't hit the mainstream consciousness at all yet. |

| 17:50.09 | levi | By reading the background page and some of the other essays he wrote on the topic, it's clear he isn't sure one way or the other about 'Worse is Better'. |
| 17:50.34 | ^Migs^ | omgwindowsbadlinuxgood4EVR |
| 17:51.26 | levi | ^Migs^: Whatever you think of Windows XP, Windows95 was definitely not all it was cracked up to be. |
| 17:51.52 | levi | I was really rooting for OS/2 Warp back then. |
| 17:52.03 | findlay | ~warp |
| 17:52.09 | ibot | well, warp is going to talk with you |
| 17:52.15 | findlay | whatever |
| 17:52.41 | ^Migs^ | I thought it was a major improvement over 3.1 |
| 17:52.56 | levi | Well, it was, but 3.1 was a piece of garbage. |
| 17:53.07 | ^Migs^ | no it wasn't |
| 17:53.19 | levi | Windows 95 was vastly improved, but it was still severely flawed. |
| 17:53.21 | ^Migs^ | better than any Linux OS of the time |
| 17:53.34 | ^Migs^ | Linux has, thankfully, caught up quite a bit since then |
| 17:53.48 | ^Migs^ | and by "catching up" I mean "added nice GUI interfaces" |
| 17:53.56 | levi | Sure, but I'm not comparing it to the contemporary Linux. It was simply a toy back then. |
| 17:54.32 | findlay | Linux wasn't even around until 1991 |
| 17:54.57 | tristanbob | any recommendations for a simple CMS for non-computer people? it's for a basic business info website |
| 17:55.01 | levi | But, compare it to the contemporary Mac OS, and Windows 3.1 was simply garbage. And let us not even speak of Windows/386. |

| 17:56.29 | levi | The Mac OS fell behind in some important areas when Win2k came out, but before that it was clearly superior. |
| 17:59.07 | levi | Anyway, OS/2 was architecturally far superior to either around '95, but it was stuck with the uglier-looking Win3.1 look, and was poorly marketed, and fell prey to Microsoft's underhanded vendor lock-in tactics, too. |

| 22:11.57 | goozbach | almost as cool as xbmodder's idea of a DNS backed p2p system |
| 22:12.30 | ^Migs^ | I mean, delivery van's already have GPS. Why not just tap into that? |
| 22:14.03 | ^Migs^ | you could totally set up an ambush and rob them. You'd get both the package AND the insurance! |
| 22:19.38 | jsmith | goozbach: DNS backed? |
| 22:20.05 | goozbach | yeah, split up files, base64 encode them, and store the pieces as TXT records |
| 22:20.26 | graphyx | it was bad!!! |
| 22:20.49 | graphyx | spunky yet unrefined. |
| 22:20.59 | goozbach | ambition it did have |
| 22:21.30 | graphyx | what about that as a trigger |
| 22:22.04 | graphyx | if bomb.company.com changes to ip 10.10.10.10, set off a logic bomb |
| 22:23.37 | jsmith | graphyx: Next, you'll be advocating going to a PHP-backed DNS system, so that it will dynamically offer up different pieces of the files for each request, without having *huge* zone files |
| 22:24.15 | graphyx | jsmith: what part of it was bad don't you getL |
| 22:24.17 | graphyx | ? |
| 22:25.05 | jsmith | Sure, now he runs off. |
| 22:38.38 | elg | hey jsmith, any voipish conferences with an academic bent coming up? |
| 22:41.00 | jsmith | elg: There's always some academic slant at ETel, but it's pricey as far as conferences go |
| 22:41.14 | jsmith | elg: There's AstriCon in October |
| 22:41.26 | elg | has to be by first part of august |
| 22:41.29 | elg | for this funding |
| 22:41.39 | jsmith | ETel is in March |
| 22:47.21 | levi | Hmm, PDF has been submitted to ISO for standardization. |
| 22:52.25 | levi | That'll be cool. Then all the whiners who complain about PDF because it's 'non-free' somehow will have to find a real reason. |
| 22:53.37 | jsmith | levi: Don't worry... they'll find *something* |
| 22:55.11 | elg | probably they'll complain that the acronym conflicts with probability density function |
| 22:55.37 | jsmith | elg: Amen to that! It's just like collisions in SHA-1, only worse ;-) |
| 22:58.11 | elg | still, pda has to be the more unfortunate acronym collision |
| 22:59.22 | jsmith | What, worse than some Linux hacker made a miniature version of SWIG and called it SIP? |
| 23:00.01 | jsmith | Or that I talk about SLAs, and half the people think I'm talking about Service Level Agreements, and the other half about Shared Line Appearances |
| 23:00.22 | beandog | I thought it already was an open standard |
| 23:00.29 | beandog | Sweet, something to complain about. |
| 23:00.37 | elg | -lart beandog |
| 23:01.48 | elg | so sad. the most relevant conference is in honolulu |
| 23:02.10 | elg | my wife will not like that. unless we can magically afford to bring her |
| 23:02.29 | elg | who's steve morrey? why does he deserve SIDS? |
| 23:03.03 | levi | elg: I'm having a discussion with him on PLUG regarding his design for a MUD. |
| 23:03.16 | elg | oh, that guy :) |
| 23:03.28 | levi | Yeah. |
| 23:03.58 | elg | we've all gone through that stage, where you try to write c00l software using uberc00l technology buzzwords |
| 23:05.27 | beandog | like HTML |
| 23:05.49 | levi | I don't think he's trying to use cool buzzwords. After all, he's using C++. His problem is mostly lack of research into the actual problems he wants to solve. |
| 23:06.36 | mrpull | elg: SIDs? |
| 23:06.42 | mrpull | do you mean shaken baby? |
| 23:06.57 | elg | oh yeah. that one |
| 23:07.12 | mrpull | sids is a mystery |
| 23:07.45 | elg | levi: well, not the "coolest" buzzwords. but he obviously wants to use threads |
| 23:08.08 | elg | this desire to conquer pthreads and have this cool threaded program is a force to be reckoned with |
| 23:08.15 | levi | Indeed. |
| 23:08.44 | elg | this looks like a cool conference, and a cool place |
| 23:08.45 | elg | http://www.kecl.ntt.co.jp/icl/signal/waspaa2007/ |
| 23:09.09 | levi | SMP/Multicore systems give the threads-geeks the one bit of ammo that stands any chance of penetrating rational arguments, too. |
| 23:09.44 | jsmith | elg: Sounds like fun! |
| 23:09.53 | levi | That does look cool, if you're into signal processing and audio! :) |
| 23:10.22 | elg | but now I probably will have to choose whether to go to that conference or the ICMC in Copenhagen |
| 23:11.26 | levi | Heh, I figured some C++-head would come up with exactly what sort of tree std::map uses. |
| 23:11.46 | elg | that's the sort of thing I intentionally avoid knowing |
| 23:11.48 | levi | Though, I couldn't see any documentation specifying implementation details in the sgi documentation. |
| 23:12.12 | findlay | sgi stl docs are so 1997 |
| 23:12.49 | levi | I imagine you could write a STL implementation that complies with the spec and use some other kind of tree with similar properties. |
| 23:12.54 | elg | do the cool cats have a web 2.0 stl documentation with built-in source code telepathy? |
| 23:13.06 | findlay | of course |
| 23:13.17 | levi | findlay: The STL is so 1997, so the docs fit perfectly! |
| 23:13.34 | levi | They are actually pretty good docs, since they specify complexity guarantees and such. |
| 23:13.51 | findlay | levi: no, the SGI STL site doesn't even conform to the 1998 ANSI/ISO standard! |
| 23:14.00 | findlay | acknowlededly |
| 23:14.13 | findlay | for like the past 7 years I've known about it! |
| 23:14.32 | findlay | talk about a dead project |
| 23:14.37 | levi | Heh. |
| 23:14.45 | findlay | besides, gcc has pretty good man pages |
| 23:14.53 | findlay | it's just a matter of getting to them ... |
| 23:15.02 | levi | Well, it's not like C++ implementations fully conform to the specs either. ;) |
| 23:15.25 | findlay | indeed |
| 23:15.51 | findlay | let alone the 2003 standard |
| 23:17.22 | findlay | I don't know about you but I don't look forward to typing `man __gnu_cxx::_Rope_find_char_char_consumer` to get documentation on C++ ropes |
| 23:19.04 | findlay | at this point I think gcc-c++stdlib documentation is much better than cplusplus.com + sgi.com/tech/stl/ |
| 23:19.40 | levi | I just don't use C++. That solves a lot of problems right there. |
| 23:19.58 | findlay | I haven't used it in a while |
| 23:20.12 | findlay | since I was working on my bzflag project |
| 23:20.20 | findlay | which still isn't done yet |
| 23:28.11 | jsmith | Uh, my bank just gave me a "Internal Server failure, APACHE plugin. Cannot continue." error... is that bad? |
| 23:28.47 | tene | jsmith: at least you know they're not running on IIS? |
| 23:28.57 | findlay | maybe it means you will get $1M transferred into your account |
| 23:28.58 | jsmith | tene: True, that. |
| 23:29.10 | jsmith | findlay: Unfortunately, it was while I was trying to *pay* a bill :-( |
| 23:29.24 | findlay | my financial institution runs apache on openBSD |
| 23:30.11 | elg | my financial institution runs from noses |
| 23:31.54 | *** join/#utah phinux (n=phinux@iocane.cs.byu.edu) |
| 23:32.47 | levi | Heh, Bryan just had to disagree with me, even though we were in agreement. |
| 23:36.34 | beandog | I have no idea what mine uses, and the scary part is they want me to install this new 'security' thing on my browser. |
| 23:37.04 | jsmith | beandog: Is it like the South Korea ActiveX thingie? |
| 23:37.21 | beandog | jsmith: im not sure, theyve given a few more logins before I have to enable it. |
| 23:37.30 | jsmith | Lucky you |
| 23:43.21 | findlay | beandog: time to switch to my credit union (-: |
| 23:43.36 | beandog | findlay: which one do you use |
| 23:43.39 | beandog | creditunions++ |
| 23:43.43 | findlay | jordan |
| 23:43.54 | *** join/#utah nick125- (n=ndevito@m2c0e36d0.tmodns.net) |
| 23:44.37 | beandog | my credit unions have to have a sexier name than that |
| 23:44.53 | findlay | fine |
| 23:45.09 | findlay | but do they run OpenBSD internally? |
| 23:46.36 | beandog | I was kidding, of course. |
| 23:46.47 | beandog | im using mtn america |
| 23:46.50 | beandog | who knows what they are up to. |
| 23:46.59 | findlay | ugh |
| 23:47.05 | beandog | I dont think Ive even seen a jordan cu branch around here. |
| 23:47.16 | findlay | that's what happens when you let incompetent people make technology descisions |
| 23:53.14 | findlay | maquis: I dont understand |
| 23:53.22 | findlay | s/dont/don't |
| 23:54.08 | tene | Heh. |
| 23:54.26 | findlay | besides that decision is spelled wrong |
| 23:57.22 | tene | That was her point, I think. |
| 23:58.05 | findlay | I guess we'll never know what her poiant was |
| 23:58.32 | tene | Perhaps! |
| 23:58.35 | levi | Man, getting outgoing mail configured in gnus has turned into a real time sink for me today. |
| 23:58.40 | tene | She is full of mystery. |
| 23:59.04 | findlay | maquis: why are you replete of mistery? |
| 23:59.44 | levi | Ow! Stop the spelling/usage errors! |
