ybitn_n12:24
ybithere's an idea, the next h+ conference streamed on the h+ website with this irc channel on the side of the vid...12:25
fenni think you can actually pick which irc channel to use, no?12:25
ybitthese streaming vids always have private channels right beside them12:26
ybitunless you are streaming the vid using mplayer?...12:26
ybiti.e. did you successfully stream the vid?12:27
Utopiahwill Wolfram finish the 2 days conf?12:30
fennno i'm using chrome12:31
fennhm so is he going to talk for a whole hour?12:31

ybitsrsly wtf12:31
ybitoh12:31
ybitbbl, going to get some groceris12:34
ybitgroceries*12:34

genehackerhe's stephen wolfram12:53
genehackerthat's why12:53
kanzurei'm ignoring stephen's talk12:55
genehackeryou didn't miss much12:56
genehackerit's interesting that he essentially farms algorithms for mathematica12:56
genehackerjust brute force out the best way to evaluate them12:56
genehackerI hope some of what he says isn't true though12:57

genehackerI am confused14:31
genehacker I thought sprout was doing that14:31

fennit was posted on the blackboard/announced15:03
fenngenehacker: they basically made off with all the inventory of the rrrf15:04
fennat least that's my understanding, which may be incorrect15:04
genehackerisn't that theft?15:04
genehackerrrrf didn't really have much in inventory though15:04
genehackerI think their prices were better though15:05

fennthanks for the secret handshake lore15:13
fennnow tell me how i get out of a speeding ticket15:13
genehackergunn diode15:16
genehackernifty little device for generating RF15:17
genehackeryou won't ever get a speeding ticket, but you'll run into trouble with the FCC15:18
fennthey use lasers now15:21
genehackeryou can own a laser jammer in most states15:24
fenni guess the lasers actually use RF modulation so you could still use a gunn diode in there somewhere if you wanted15:27
genehackeryou wouldn't want to15:28
