ybithrm, think there's been a paper publish with something similar to that question...00:22
genehackernah seems it's basic math00:23
genehackerjust need to find length 00:24

ybiti wouldn't say basic, and the paper wasn't referring to that specific question, something similar to it though00:45
ybitmason-l is also the author of uzbl_tabbed.py ftr00:45
mason-lAnd the cookie_daemon.py (in the uzbl project) 00:45
ybitmason-l: soon i will go to bed, promise00:46

ybithehe00:46
ybityeah, it's time00:46

genehackersaw some meteors that were brighter than Mars and left an ion trail that lasted acouple of minutes01:17
fennthanks for reminding me01:59
fennwell that was underwhelming02:46
genehackerhow long did you watch and how much sky did you cover per unit time?02:48

kanzure" Living cells use energy to move actively and spontaneously. To influence them without jeopardizing their chemical makeup was a tremendous challenge. Dogariu and Sugaya began exploring the idea of moving an entire cell by focusing on its inner mechanisms. Inside the cells there are slender rods made up of a protein called actin.12:27
kanzure        “Actin rods are constantly vibrating, causing the cells to move sporadically” Sugaya said. The researchers demonstrated that low-intensity polarized light can guide the rods’ Brownian motion to ever-so-slowly line up and move in the desired direction."12:27

kanzure"The migrating stem cells got a boost if the researchers first had the rodents snort an enzyme called hyaluronidase, whose day job is to make connective tissue more permeable. Of approximately 300,000 stem cells administered, an average of 584 reached the olfactory bulbs when the enzyme was not given; when it was, the number nearly tripled. The effect was muted for cells reaching the cerebral cortex and other areas of the brain, however."20:41

QuantumGyou're like the most inventive guy I know.. can't you start a cottage business of some sort?21:43
kanzurehow do I make people give me money?21:44
QuantumGsell interesting stuff that people want :)   it doesn't have to be something no-one else is selling, but that is interesting, and I know you like interesting.21:45
QuantumGor do a service..21:45
kanzurethat doesn't tell me how to make people give me money21:46
kanzuredon't get me wrong, I have a billion and one ideas21:46
kanzureand lots of time to implement them21:46
QuantumGpeople give you money because it is of more value to them to get you to do it than to do it themselves.21:46
kanzurejust because I am offering something you want doesn't mean you will give me money21:46
QuantumGits a good start21:47
QuantumGbut, the thing to remember, we still live in the restricted-means-of-production economy21:49
kanzureokay?21:50

kanzuresure21:50
QuantumGso what's the problem?  pick a few protocols that people need done, put up a website to take "orders" and fulfill em21:51
QuantumGpeople who don't have access to a wet lab or just have too much of their own wet lab work to do are your customers.21:52
kanzureI'd rather sell kits.21:53

QuantumGwake-on-lan23:37
QuantumGno, I don't know anything :)23:37
genehackercloneok23:37
QuantumGWake on LAN must be enabled in the Power Management section of a PC motherboard's BIOS setup utility.23:38
QuantumGIn addition, in order to get WoL to work it is sometimes required to enable this feature on the interface card. Details of how to do this depend upon the operating system and the device driver.23:38
QuantumGyou need to know the MAC address of the ethernet card in that computer23:39

genehackerclonethis will not work out23:40
genehackerclonethanks for the info though23:41
QuantumG:)23:41
QuantumGsome people I know run a company selling a product called "Greentrac" which tracks how active your computers are and allows admins to set different power profiles for different times of day/week.  They use wake-on-lan to wake up the machines which have been shutdown by the profile.23:42
fennwake on lan != boot from network (or turn on computer from network either)23:43
genehackerclonenow I just need a good VNC client...23:43
fennyou know what ssh is right?23:43
QuantumGfenn: it isn't boot from network.. it *is* turn on a computer that has been appropriately shutdown by sending a magic packet across the lan.23:44
genehackercloneno I don't23:44
fenn*bonk*23:44
genehackercloneit's a network communication protocol23:45
genehackerclonethat's all I know23:45
fennssh -X will let you run stuff from a remote computer23:46
genehackercloneand see the screen?23:46
fennit's not exactly like vnc but same general idea23:46
fennyou just see the program you're running, not the whole screen23:46
genehackercloneand not as vulnerable to attack as VNC?23:46
fennnot nearly23:46
genehackercloneI wonder how vulnerable VNC is without encryption and if I should even worry23:47
QuantumGeven with encryption it blows23:47
genehackerclonehow so?23:48
QuantumGif you care about security, you should ssh into the machine and port forward the VNC port to your local machine 23:48
QuantumGpassword protection of VNC is a joke23:48
QuantumGinitially they were sending the password plaintext23:49
QuantumGsomeone pointed that out23:49
QuantumGthen they switched to sending the password hashed23:49
genehackercloneshit23:49
QuantumGwhich is exactly the same23:49
genehackerclonethat is a joke23:49
fennthat's pretty funny23:49
QuantumGI don't know if they've moved to a trivial challenge/response yet23:49
fennthe only thing vnc is good for is screencasting23:51
QuantumGyeah, it's great.. it's just not secure :)  23:51
QuantumGsetting up my mum's computer without going over there.. gold23:51
fennhmm ok23:51
fennif you're into that sort of thing23:51
genehackerclonescreencasting as in use a program from far away?23:54
fennno, as in making a movie23:54
fenni've had bad luck with existing tools (it might have gotten fixed tho)23:55
QuantumGahh.. 23:55
QuantumGVNC also has the session sharing stuff23:55
QuantumGthat's awesome23:55
