| 20:15.21 | MarcTannous | The Pirate Bay can't be blocked as long as it does not exist :P |
| 20:17.21 | Stragus | ISPs from the UK have blocked The Pirate Bay for a while. But yes, now it exists as a bunch of mirrors |
| 20:17.34 | MarcTannous | Most of these are filled with malware AFAIK |
| 20:17.56 | MarcTannous | There is only one legit torrent site that is not trying to replace thepiratebay by spreading infected files |
| 20:18.51 | Stragus | I had to download The Intervew from a Pirate Bay mirror. After actually *paying* for the movie on Google Video, but there were issues with HAL protected content or some other kind of garbage |
| 20:19.09 | MarcTannous | It's not even available in my country |
| 20:19.15 | MarcTannous | I don't even know how I am supposed to watch that movie |
| 20:19.43 | Stragus | I was able to pay for it, but I had to pirate to actually get to watch it |
| 20:19.50 | MarcTannous | Also there's a great movie regarding the life of Alan Turing starring Benedict Cumberbatch ( The guy from Sherlock ) called the imitation game |
| 20:20.00 | MarcTannous | That's been released in like early november in UK |
| 20:20.09 | MarcTannous | and it will get premiered in Romania on the 1st of February |
| 20:20.11 | MarcTannous | I mean come on |
| 20:20.14 | Stragus | Some people still haven't figured out that they need to make paid movies/music *more* convenient than pirating them |
| 20:20.26 | Stragus | Ouch |
| 20:20.39 | MarcTannous | It takes 3 months for a few gigas of data to travel from one PC to another apparently |
| 20:21.24 | MarcTannous | What a beautiful era we live in |
| 20:22.03 | Stragus | Is that typical of all movies? It just brings more people to find alternative ways |
| 20:22.04 | MarcTannous | Not sure, this is the first movie I have ever really wanted to see as soon as it gets here in my life |
| 20:22.09 | MarcTannous | And I was very disappointed by it |
| 20:22.14 | Stragus | More stupid decisions from an industry that likes shooting itself in the foot |
| 20:22.24 | MarcTannous | Not sure what the marketing process behind this is |
| 20:22.48 | MarcTannous | Probably they don't consider it a movie that people would come in big masses to watch and they wait a few months to buy it from the producer for a lower price? Idk |
| 20:23.35 | Stragus | It's amazing they still haven't figured out that people would pay for downloading movies and music, hassle free |
| 20:26.10 | Stragus | Google Video demands some version of Flash that isn't even available on Linux for Firefox. Then it produces weird errors that are supposed to tell you that you must install some HAL protected content module with about 15 dependencies |
| 20:26.29 | Stragus | And then it's still doesn't work, and you get a copy from any torrent site |
| 20:27.09 | MarcTannous | What about the music industry? |
| 20:27.17 | MarcTannous | Where I have to pay 1$ for a song from an artist I like |
| 20:27.27 | MarcTannous | Over iTunes, something that works perfectly with Apple devices |
| 20:27.48 | Stragus | Yes and, amazingly, I don't have any Apple device |
| 20:28.01 | MarcTannous | But somehow the rest of the population, the plebs like me that use anything else besides iOS have to endure lots of issues in order to listen to music they like, legally |
| 20:28.12 | MarcTannous | And the plebs like me actually make up for 70% of the population |
| 20:28.32 | Stragus | And then the industry complains that pirating is stealing revenue from them |
| 20:28.37 | MarcTannous | Where I can get an album faster,cheaper,and hassle-free over a torrent rather than from the creator |
| 20:28.59 | MarcTannous | Maybe investing some money into a god damned global market and a good user interface with a dedicated team that could solve eventual issues would do the trick |
| 20:29.03 | MarcTannous | But no, that would be logical |
| 20:29.06 | MarcTannous | And who likes logical? |
| 20:29.55 | Stragus | They are making the problem much worse by trying to control the entire ecosystem to prevent anyone from copying their music |
| 20:31.05 | Stragus | Give me hassle free mp3 and OGG downloads and I'll be more than happy to pay |
| 20:31.14 | MarcTannous | In the thousands of years of human existence, everything that was prohibited has slowly become a trend ( i.e alcohol, cigars, drugs, online piracy ) and somehow people still do it |
| 20:31.40 | MarcTannous | And expect average John Does to not take the easier approach |
| 20:32.23 | Stragus | The easier approach *should* be paying and getting your file, very easily. Like buying on Amazon, one click |
| 20:32.31 | MarcTannous | I was actually impressed with Amazon the other day |
| 20:32.41 | MarcTannous | Got a book and began reading it in what, 10 seconds? |
| 20:32.58 | MarcTannous | I wish more content was done the Amazon-way |
| 20:33.02 | Stragus | Indeed |
| 20:50.59 | andromeda-galaxy | Stragus: any idea what the MGED command-line way to modify a TGC diameter is? |
| 20:53.28 | Stragus | No idea sorry. ``Erik, there's a question for you :) |
| 20:56.05 | andromeda-galaxy | Stragus: oh well... I'll keep looking at the source and see if I can figure it out.. |

| 21:56.59 | ``Erik | andromeda-galaxy: dunno what "pscale" is, but it's probably in mged under another name... I'd say either track what libged call makes pscale happen and look how it's called from mged, or wait for starseeker or brlcad to respond, srry |

| 21:57.42 | andromeda-galaxy | (_get_scale_tgc) |
