| Alystair | it was covered in the paper, basically the new strain beats the pants off the old one | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| fenn | well, i havent read the paper | 00:03 |
| Alystair | it was made specifically to make the mouth inhospitable to other types :) | 00:03 |
| fenn | *cough* link *cough* | 00:03 |
| Alystair | hmm | 00:03 |
| Alystair | I rather blow this right open | 00:03 |
| fenn | Jeffrey D. Hillman of the University of Florida College of Dentistry in Gainesville? | 00:03 |
| Alystair | yep | 00:03 |
| Alystair | got the paper up | 00:03 |
| Alystair | sec | 00:03 |

| -!- Netsplit *.net <-> *.split quits: kardan, ToyKeeper | 00:03 | |
| fenn | why the hell am i using firefox | 00:03 |
| Alystair | exactly | 00:03 |
| Alystair | use Chrome | 00:03 |
| fenn | chrome is annoying too | 00:03 |
| fenn | it used to be that konqueror was fast, i dont know what happened | 00:03 |
| kanzure | uzbl? :/ | 00:03 |
| -!- Netsplit over, joins: ToyKeeper, kardan | 00:04 | |
| Alystair | http://www.probiora3.com/ <- notice S. Mutans is missing from that list | 00:05 |
| kanzure | wow what a fucking clusterfuck http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/treder20090807/ | 00:05 |
| kanzure | who writes this shit? | 00:05 |
| fenn | "After entering a special mode (via keyboard shortcut) each link in the viewport may be selected through an assigned key (0 through 9) or alternatively by typing a string from the link text that is long enough to unambiguously identify it" hmm no thanks | 00:05 |
| Alystair | kanzure: halp, how can I genetically modify mouth flora in my own home? :( | 00:05 |
| fenn | a half hour ago i was searching for the link to carolina biological's demo transfection kit | 00:06 |
| Alystair | transfection? | 00:06 |
| Alystair | I don't know any of this fun lingo guys | 00:06 |
| fenn | but firefox threw a hissy fit and i got distracted | 00:06 |
| fenn | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfection http://www.carolina.com/product/life+science/biotechnology+kits+%26+materials/transformation+and+advanced+techniques/green+gene+colony+transformation+kit+student+teach.do?keyword=gfp&sortby=bestMatches&page=1 | 00:07 |
| Noahj | Midori's pretty fast | 00:08 |
| Noahj | Although it's really just a fancier gtkmozembed | 00:08 |
| kanzure | Alystair: use a dictionary. | 00:09 |
| Noahj | But with webkit instead of gecko | 00:09 |
| Alystair | ok ok jfgi I get it | 00:09 |
| kanzure | for basic definitions? sounds reasonable to me.. | 00:09 |
| Alystair | I was in agreement, didn't mean to sound mad about it :p | 00:10 |
| fenn | i used to have a decent "dictionary" shell script | 00:11 |
| fenn | then m-w.com decided to be annoying | 00:11 |
| Noahj | Huh? | 00:11 |
| Noahj | I just use dict | 00:11 |
| kanzure | me too | 00:11 |
| Alystair | oh wow his work is listed in Wikipedia now :| | 00:11 |
| fenn | huh i thought that was for foreign language stuff like japanese | 00:12 |
| Alystair | I take it all back | 00:12 |
| fenn | it's in wikipedia so it's not bleeding edge enough for you? | 00:13 |
| fenn | ok "dict" definitely does not do what I want | 00:14 |
| Noahj | It outputs definitions when you give it a word | 00:14 |
| fenn | first of all, it's really fucking slow | 00:14 |
| fenn | secondly it outputs pages and pages of crap when all iwanted was like a one sentence definition and maybe a synonym or two | 00:14 |
| Noahj | I've got the server locally | 00:14 |
| Noahj | It only grabs stuff from the dictionaries I have installed on my machine | 00:14 |
| Noahj | Which is just gcide and the thesaurus | 00:15 |
| fenn | i guess i'll just scrape http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Atransfection | 00:16 |
| Noahj | http://shadow.eas.gatech.edu/~anewman/classes/Intro_Unix/define.html here's one | 00:17 |
| fenn | thanks | 00:18 |
| Noahj | It wants lynx though | 00:18 |
| Noahj | probably not hard to use curl or something instead | 00:19 |
| fenn | i'll feed the kitty what it wants | 00:21 |
| Noahj | Also, on fast browsers again | 00:23 |
| Noahj | Midori's nice if you want old-konqueror speed and new webkit | 00:23 |
| Noahj | But Bryan's opera is pretty tricked out | 00:24 |
| Noahj | It's my fave for tab and session management | 00:24 |
| fenn | i want dillo speed and css, fuck the rest | 00:25 |
| fenn | oh, i guess javascript would be nice too | 00:26 |
| Noahj | Have you tried links2-graphic? | 00:26 |
| fenn | yes | 00:27 |
| Noahj | I like it a bit more than dillo | 00:27 |
| Noahj | I haven't used dillo since 2.0 though | 00:28 |
| Noahj | It had better ssl support | 00:28 |
| Noahj | That's about it, though | 00:28 |
| fenn | i didnt really give links2 a chance since it seemed more like a dancing bear than a real browser | 00:28 |
| fenn | "Dillo-2.0 received a 115 EUR donation from distrowatch!" | 00:29 |
| fenn | my god where are all the speed hungry billionaire internet surfers | 00:29 |
| Noahj | Oh, and links2 is supposed to have javascript | 00:29 |
| Noahj | They probably just go buy a faster net connection and more computing | 00:30 |
| fenn | while i'm making outrageously mundane demands, where's my zooming user interface? | 00:31 |
| fenn | i need it to control my jetpack | 00:31 |

| Noahj | Oops | 00:32 |
| Noahj | I hit ctrl+alt+ + | 00:33 |
| Noahj | To zoom | 00:33 |
| Noahj | Because I remembered that X does that and wanted to see how smooth it was | 00:33 |
| Noahj | And crashed my X server | 00:33 |
| fenn | that's not what it means | 00:33 |
| Noahj | It changes the resolution, I know | 00:33 |
| fenn | i mean that's not what zui means | 00:34 |
| Noahj | Oh | 00:34 |
| Noahj | Oh! | 00:34 |
| Noahj | This is a distinct thing from being able to zoom in anywhere with the scroll wheel the way some apps will let you | 00:35 |
| Noahj | Where the concept is that everything's all in one screen and you zoom in to particular things | 00:35 |
| Noahj | Cool. | 00:35 |
| fenn | right | 00:35 |
| fenn | there's no such thing as an "application" only different data modifiers | 00:35 |
| Noahj | Panning seems like it could get kind of boring, though | 00:36 |
| Noahj | I'd like some way to hop specifically to something at a really high zoom level | 00:36 |
| fenn | of course | 00:36 |
| Noahj | Which would probably end up being keyboard shortcuts again, or search | 00:36 |
| fenn | i've never actually used one so i dont know what idioms they've come up with for search | 00:37 |
| Noahj | KDE 4.1 seems to have a ZUI | 00:39 |
| fenn | no it just makes things bigger and smaller | 00:40 |
| Noahj | The ZUI for youtube looks like a cool way to crash my computer | 00:47 |
| Noahj | Wow, it actually does a nice job of multiple videos | 00:48 |
| fenn | yeah that kind of thing is just a simple GL texture map | 00:50 |
| fenn | it gets harder when you want to dive into a 4000 page reference manual | 00:50 |
| Noahj | I like search as a user interface, conceptually | 00:53 |
| Noahj | All this zooming and panning is kind of tiresome | 00:53 |
| Noahj | The easiest way to get what I want from a reference manual is going to be to search for relevant keywords or synonyms of keywords, I think, more than zooming | 00:54 |
| Noahj | I'm installing KDE 4.4 to try it | 00:55 |
| Noahj | Maybe it's cool and useful, I haven't used KDE since 3.5 | 00:55 |
| Noahj | Also, going to sleep | 00:55 |
| Noahj | Goodnight, fenn | 00:55 |
| Noahj | or whatever time it is | 00:55 |
| fenn | engelbart had the right diea | 01:03 |
| fenn | basically, infinitely expandable table of contents | 01:03 |
| fenn | of course you get stuck in the multiple possible categorizations trap, but whatever, at least it gets people thinking about it | 01:04 |
| fenn | http://fennetic.net/irc/define | 01:07 |
| fenn | would be nice to have a -1 and -r options like sort and tail | 01:08 |

| pmetzger | I was talking to someone at SFLC last night. :) | 16:06 |
| pmetzger | We had dinner. | 16:07 |
| pmetzger | I mentioned hardware licenses to him. | 16:07 |
| jrayhawk | Eben Moglen seems to be a reasonably clever mind. | 16:07 |
| jrayhawk | Oh, right, he heads the SFLC, durrr | 16:07 |
| kanzure | pmetzger: did you see the link i dropped earlier today from my chat with some lawyers? | 16:08 |
| pmetzger | nope. | 16:08 |
| kanzure | http://designfiles.org/~bryan/2010-07-01_open-source-hardware_and_patent-law.html | 16:08 |
| kanzure | unfortunately i can't seem to simultaneously (1) think of something clever to say in response to a live conversation, (2) say it, and (3) type it down word-for-word | 16:09 |
| kanzure | as a result, my comments and long-paragraph-diatribes are not included in that document | 16:09 |
| jrayhawk | I assume you mentioned that IBM lawyer's clever bastardry involving allowing members of the pool to use other member's patents defensively. | 16:10 |
| kanzure | oh fooey, i forgot to add the 'defensively' qualifier.. | 16:11 |
| jrayhawk | well, "defensively" is a non-sequiter anyway... | 16:11 |
| kanzure | yeah i mentioned it.. but i forgot to frame it as a tool for defense in patent litigation | 16:11 |
| kanzure | jrayhawk: imho if anyone ends up in a patent litigation trial from any of this, i have failed. | 16:11 |
| jrayhawk | Well, the concern would be submarine patent litigation from outside members. | 16:12 |
| kanzure | submarine? | 16:12 |
| pmetzger | I thought they'd somehow outlawed submarine patents | 16:12 |
| pmetzger | by requiring that the term be 20 years from date of filing rather than 17 from issuance. | 16:12 |
| pmetzger | and by forcing publication of applications etc. | 16:13 |
| jrayhawk | err, outside agencies | 16:13 |
| kanzure | ah | 16:13 |
| kanzure | yes, that's one possible concern | 16:13 |
| pmetzger | kanzure: submarine patents were an old tactic where you delayed issuance deliberately for years or decades. | 16:13 |
| kanzure | but you can't make a magical "i won't get sued evar" shield (people can start up lawsuits all the time for any reason) | 16:14 |
| jrayhawk | It's trivial, especially with software patents being the way they are, that a given piece of hardware and programming that a Gnusha member distributes violates a patent that they couldn't possibly see coming, and, in fact, it's likely impossible to avoid violating some patent somewhere with any significant circuit logic. | 16:14 |
| pmetzger | so suddenly, after 10 years of using a technology, you discover a patent is issued right then but is fine because it was applied for 15 years before... | 16:14 |
| jrayhawk | So lawsuits are an inevitability. | 16:15 |
| QuantumG | "submarine patent" these days just refers to someone who doesn't bother suing anyone until the patent is being violated by lots of people with deep pockets. | 16:15 |
| jrayhawk | The idea is to create incentives for people who bring about lawsuits to settle quickly once they realize the defensive patent pool is actually quite robust. | 16:15 |
| pmetzger | actual patent lawsuits are very rare. | 16:15 |
| kanzure | one of my goals is to (preferably with the community's help) outline some different scenarios | 16:15 |
| pmetzger | the ante in any real patent lawsuit is like $1M in fees. | 16:15 |
| kanzure | and then | 16:15 |
| kanzure | put a list of expected results at the end of each scenario | 16:15 |
| pmetzger | mostly people settle before litigation. | 16:15 |
| kanzure | "feared consequences: some poor kid gets sued and has to pay up a few mil" | 16:15 |
| kanzure | "situation: someone makes an open source hardware project and patents it" | 16:16 |
| kanzure | "situation: someone makes an open source hardware project and does not patent it" | 16:16 |

| jrayhawk | You should probably decide if you want to create "patent pool for protecting gnusha projects" or "patent pool for destroying the patent system ostensibly for the purpose of protecting gnusha projects" | 16:19 |
| kanzure | heh | 16:19 |

| -!- quantumkat [~Kat@ip72-196-125-41.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #hplusroadmap | 16:20 | |
| kanzure | if you have 1,000 patents available on "related" subjects to a trial, and the patent shark just has one, how does that play out :P | 16:20 |
| jrayhawk | usually it doesn't get as far as litigation | 16:20 |
| kanzure | what happens before that? | 16:21 |
| kanzure | also, while i'm at it.. http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Research_Non-Assertion_Pledge | 16:22 |
| jrayhawk | Usually it's Patent Holder: "We have a patent that applies to a product you're making. Cough up money or we get judge to stop you from distributing your product." Potential Licensee: "Let us discuss this with our lawyers." Lawyers: "You're boned." Potential Licensee: "How much would you like?" | 16:22 |

| -!- AJollyLife1 is now known as AJollyLife | 16:23 | |
| kanzure | jrayhawk: i wonder if we could just channel this through some other nation | 16:23 |
| jrayhawk | I guess it's more like Lawyers: "Either you're boned, or you get to pay a million dollars in legal fees for a court to confirm that you're boned." | 16:23 |
| kanzure | like, if this was a gnusha-only thing, we could do the manufacturing or whatever we want in the u.s. | 16:23 |
| kanzure | and then have a 'patent haven' in china (or something) for some legal purpose | 16:24 |
| kanzure | http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Model_Patent_License | 16:24 |
| kanzure | http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Patent_License_Design | 16:24 |
| jrayhawk | I believe China has intellectual property rules, it's just that local companies can safely bribe their way out of obligations to follow those rules. | 16:27 |
| kanzure | in the case of patent litigation and going to court, there's definitely some issues | 16:29 |
| kanzure | however the overall framework hasn't even been built | 16:29 |
| kanzure | so testing its viability in the court of law (even by imagination) seems kind of a waste at this point | 16:29 |
| kanzure | i dunno if the "open source hardware license as a way to sublicense a patent and have the patent holder sign a non-assert" thing should be considered to be on the 'same level' as a non-patent holder who wants to develop and release open source hardware (without having to bother with acquiring a patent) | 16:31 |
| kanzure | but it would be nice if those two situations are mutually compatible | 16:31 |
| kanzure | and even better if they turn out to be the same legal tool | 16:31 |
| kanzure | supposedly 'prior art' is the one tool to help tip the balance, but it seems to only be helpful if you're in the middle of a $1M court case | 16:32 |
| jrayhawk | Well, really, this is just covering your ass as a distributor. | 16:32 |
| kanzure | http://www.dol.gov/dol/aboutdol/copyright.htm "A patent provides its owner the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling his/her invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States for a limited time. As part of the terms of granting the patent to the inventor, patents are published into the public domain. However, the fact that a patent's description is in the public doma | 16:34 |
| jrayhawk | oh, huh | 16:35 |
| jrayhawk | I guess you'd be safe from *most* patents as a distributor, at least. | 16:35 |
| jrayhawk | I don't see the lawyers talking about what your potential liabilities as an information repository might be. | 16:37 |
| kanzure | i wonder how much the ACLU pays for these cases? http://www.pubpat.org/Protecting.htm | 16:37 |
| kanzure | true that | 16:37 |
| jrayhawk | Like how Napster/Limewire/et al weren't actually violating copyrights, they were *conspiring* to violate copyrights and this was somehow just as bad. | 16:39 |
| kanzure | i wonder where the patent law idea of "a patent provides its owner the right to exclude others from making, using ... his/her invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States" | 16:42 |
| kanzure | specifically the making/using aspect. | 16:42 |
| QuantumG | have you seen how Monsanto has gone after seed cleaners? | 16:43 |
| kanzure | no, not specifically | 16:45 |

| pmetzger | at uses cron. | 21:35 |
| pmetzger | the at spooler is just triggered by the cron daemon. | 21:35 |
| pmetzger | it is easier just to use cron directly. | 21:36 |
| kanzure | really? | 21:36 |
| kanzure | blah | 21:36 |
| kanzure | i'm writing an auction website | 21:36 |
| kanzure | and need something scheduled to happen for the end of a particular auction | 21:36 |
| kanzure | (like calling a script to send out emails, transfer money from one account to another, do various other illegal things, etc.) | 21:36 |
| pmetzger | if you're writing something that needs a high volume of timed events, cron isn't appropriate | 21:45 |
| pmetzger | if you're doing, say, thousands of events an hour. | 21:45 |
| pmetzger | cron is for things like rotating a log twice a dya. | 21:45 |
| pmetzger | day | 21:45 |
| kanzure | this will be arbitrarily high volume | 21:54 |
| pmetzger | then you probably need to write a scheduler yourself (which isn't hard -- an easy extension to an event driven core anyway.) | 22:07 |
| kanzure | hackernews delivers: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1480214 | 22:07 |
| pmetzger | that doesn't seem like great advice there. | 22:08 |
| pmetzger | if I had to deal with many tens of events a minute, I'd just write the twenty line scheduler myself. | 22:08 |
| pmetzger | it isn't hard. | 22:08 |
| pmetzger | you probably need some massive master server anyway. | 22:08 |
| pmetzger | more important question: why are you writing an auction site? I thought your life was DIY Transhumanism tech. | 22:08 |
| kanzure | i do lots of weird side projects :) | 22:09 |
| kanzure | andrew was talking about this 'carbon credit auction site' at hplus summit | 22:09 |
| pmetzger | anyway, this is a pretty trivial thing to write. | 22:09 |
| kanzure | it was supposed to be demoed there, but i crapped on the deadline (meh) | 22:09 |
| pmetzger | you probably have some grotesque thing built around libevent anyway | 22:09 |
| kanzure | yeah i agree | 22:09 |
| kanzure | i just needed the right idea | 22:09 |
| kanzure | nah, i'm not using libevent at the moment (also, have never heard of it) | 22:10 |
| pmetzger | you add a priority heap sorted on next event | 22:10 |
| pmetzger | you're not using libevent? shame. | 22:10 |
| pmetzger | best way to write event driven code out there. written by niels provos after I described a proprietary thing to him at the atlanta linux showcase. he duplicated it in quite a hurry. :) | 22:11 |
| pmetzger | there's even a set of python bindings given that it is your LoC. | 22:11 |
| pmetzger | anyway, priority heap as queue, wakup one shot scheduled for next event, you're kind of done. | 22:12 |
| kanzure | yep | 22:12 |
| pmetzger | very little code. | 22:12 |
