| 18:04.44 | L4m3r | hm... anomaly submitted some matrix code images as textures |
| 18:05.12 | L4m3r | ...as GPL. would that be a copyright issue? there are so many knockoffs... |
| 18:10.16 | JeffM | depends |
| 18:10.18 | JeffM | did he make them |
| 18:10.25 | JeffM | or are they screengabs? |
| 18:10.33 | L4m3r | I can't tell |
| 18:10.40 | L4m3r | they're certainly not screen grabs |
| 18:10.50 | L4m3r | but they could be taken from nearly anywhere on the 'net |
| 18:10.54 | JeffM | then assume he made them, and it's his liability |
| 18:10.59 | L4m3r | ok |
| 18:11.09 | SpazzyMcGee | While we are on the subject of texture submission.... Would a texture containing an in-game screenshot count as GPL? |
| 18:11.26 | JeffM | SpazzyMcGee, would depend what's in the screenshot |
| 18:11.36 | JeffM | if the shot included non GPL shapes, or images, no |
| 18:11.59 | JeffM | I can make a private server, that uses copyright images as textures, take a screenshot |
| 18:12.06 | SpazzyMcGee | If it contained parts of the BZFlag UI? |
| 18:12.07 | JeffM | but I can't GPL that resultant image |
| 18:12.17 | JeffM | the bzflag UI is LGPL |
| 18:12.30 | JeffM | so you can LGPL deivitive images. |
| 18:12.58 | SpazzyMcGee | ok. |
| 18:15.38 | SpazzyMcGee | Another thing i've always wondered - why do textures on meshboxes not map like the boxwall texture on a standard box? |
| 18:15.54 | JeffM | because they are not the same ojbects |
| 18:16.19 | JeffM | the meshbox uses a diferent UV maping |
| 18:16.58 | SpazzyMcGee | Any reason for that, or that's just how it ended up? |
| 18:18.19 | JeffM | they were writen by difrent people |
| 18:18.35 | JeffM | and the meshbox author ether didn't think to, care to, or want to make it UV compatable |
| 18:18.42 | JeffM | I'm guessing it would be the second |
| 18:19.05 | SpazzyMcGee | ah, right. |
| 18:19.16 | L4m3r | meshboxes are arcs |
| 18:19.40 | L4m3r | whoever did the UV mapping most likely optimized it so that it was best for the general variety of arc shapes |
| 18:20.17 | L4m3r | same for meshpyrs and cones |
| 18:20.51 | L4m3r | the easiest thing is to just make a "mesh box" group def without any texcoords and use that instead |
| 18:21.05 | L4m3r | saves you two tris per box, too :P |
| 18:21.17 | SpazzyMcGee | Exactly what i'm doing. |
| 18:22.01 | JeffM | trepan did it |
| 18:22.16 | JeffM | if you want a mesh that has the same UVs as a old box you can make one |
| 18:22.32 | JeffM | I made a doc that is with the bzedit proejct in CVS that describes the UVs for an old box |
| 18:25.14 | L4m3r | the old box isn't even consistent anymore anyway |
| 18:25.28 | L4m3r | the texture scaling is different on experimental |
| 18:26.06 | JeffM | yup |
| 18:26.12 | JeffM | that shoudl be documented as well |
| 18:27.01 | SpazzyMcGee | I'll use wings. |

| 22:09.13 | Thumper_ | maybe it's the government... and you have to code in triplicate? |
| 22:09.29 | jude- | the book isn't even (directly) about coding, though |
| 22:09.46 | KTL | read it 3 times :) |
| 22:09.55 | jude- | lol |
| 22:09.59 | KTL | or there are small differences that give clues to how to summon the devil |
| 22:10.01 | jude- | I guess I'll have to do that, then |
| 22:10.05 | ndim | "Spot the difference" |
| 22:10.08 | jude- | diff -u |
| 22:10.40 | jude- | I wan't even aware there were books on this subject |
| 22:10.53 | Winny | ooh |
| 22:10.53 | Winny | books |
| 22:11.06 | Thumper_ | Winny: you can only have 2 copies. jude needs the last one |
| 22:11.12 | jude- | indeed |
| 22:11.16 | Winny | indeed. |
| 22:11.21 | jude- | they're autographed by the author |
| 22:11.35 | KTL | where is that gsoc thread so that i can find out about what it is ... |
| 22:11.52 | jude- | it's an e-mail thread; you have to be a GSoC participant to read it |
| 22:11.54 | Winny | 2 other sad, sad people are missing thier books :( |
| 22:12.08 | jude- | that's what I'm afraid of |
| 22:12.36 | jude- | and it contains pretty useful information |
| 22:13.10 | Thumper_ | first they give you money to code...then they give you books to sell... sounds like a good deal to me :) |
| 22:13.17 | jude- | lol |
| 22:13.24 | jude- | maybe they want me to ship them back |
| 22:13.44 | Winny | send one to me, jude-! :p |
| 22:13.52 | jude- | lol |
| 22:13.58 | jude- | if Google says I can keep them, perhaps |
| 22:14.46 | jude- | they've replied--I'm supposed to ship them back |
| 22:15.11 | Thumper_ | *poof* there goes that money making scheme |
| 22:15.50 | Thumper_ | now the other two people who have 3 sets of 2 other books each have to ship their copy to you... since you were obviously supposed to have 3 books to read... |
| 22:16.03 | Winny | starbucks? |
| 22:16.09 | Thumper_ | to spend the $20 |
| 22:16.09 | Winny | gosh, Tim Hortons! |
| 22:16.18 | Thumper_ | you can keep your timmy's coffee |
| 22:16.18 | Winny | you could get 20 coffees :D |
| 22:16.32 | Winny | insted of 1/2 a starbucks coffee |
| 22:16.47 | Thumper_ | less than half |
| 22:17.38 | KTL | there is a tim hortons in kandahar, afghanistan |
| 22:17.53 | Winny | mhmm |
| 22:18.03 | tannerld | oooh |
| 22:18.09 | Winny | Cause you know what happens to Canadians when we don;t get our timmy's? |
| 22:18.13 | tannerld | you are talking about packages/books |
| 22:18.34 | Thumper_ | There's 2.5lbs of starbucks french roast (whole beans) 4 ft away in the bookshelf - still vacuum sealed |
| 22:18.51 | Winny | in the bookshelf? :o |
| 22:18.56 | Winny | how on earth will you get to it |
| 22:20.54 | jude- | climb the shelves? |
| 22:21.49 | *** join/#bzflag CBG (n=CBG@about/essy/fan/CBG) |
| 22:22.15 | Thumper_ | how is that difficult? it's 4ft left and about 18" off the ground |
| 22:22.18 | Thumper_ | :) |
| 22:22.34 | Thumper_ | I don't even have to get out of my swivel chair |
| 22:22.43 | jude- | there ya go |

| 23:13.55 | Erroneous | three books and no cash. google handled THAT one real well :) |
| 23:14.39 | L4m3r | hm |
| 23:14.59 | JeffM | do they just mail out checks? |
| 23:15.27 | Erroneous | no, wire transfer |
| 23:15.39 | Erroneous | WU for most countries |
| 23:15.53 | JeffM | so you have to give google your bank account info? |
| 23:16.01 | Erroneous | thought jude- was US though, not sure why he elected to take WU instead of direct deposit |
| 23:16.08 | Erroneous | you can, yeah |
| 23:16.14 | Erroneous | routing number |
| 23:16.16 | Erroneous | just like a check |
| 23:16.18 | JeffM | ahh |
| 23:16.35 | JeffM | perhaps it was not clear |
| 23:17.02 | JeffM | mayhaps he dosn't have a bank |
| 23:17.06 | Erroneous | could be |
| 23:17.52 | Erroneous | I expected them to mess up the first year, and they did...I don't think I got my $500 until mid-august |
| 23:18.03 | Erroneous | and that WAS direct deposit |
| 23:18.09 | JeffM | wow |
| 23:18.25 | Erroneous | yeah they got some people steamed about that |
| 23:18.44 | Erroneous | like the folks who were actually expecting to live on that $500 for the summer ;) |
| 23:19.00 | JeffM | yeah dosn't sound like its' comparable to a real "job" |
| 23:19.10 | JeffM | more of contract work where your paid at the end. |
| 23:25.03 | Erroneous | yeah |
| 23:25.19 | Erroneous | technically a grant, but that's the general idea |
| 23:27.50 | JeffM | does making it a grant help with taxes? |
| 23:28.33 | Erroneous | on their end, I think |
| 23:31.11 | JeffM | maybe they know it allready :) |
| 23:31.11 | L4m3r | they probably already knew <_< >_> |
| 23:31.11 | Erroneous | heh |
| 23:31.11 | L4m3r | ahhh beat me to it |
| 23:31.11 | Erroneous | creepy that you'd both say that, while I was typing it |
| 23:31.12 | CBG | Is there anything they don't know? |
| 23:31.12 | JeffM | pi |
| 23:31.17 | Erroneous | pft, everyone knows pi |
| 23:31.35 | Winny | 3.1415926535 |
| 23:31.35 | L4m3r | CBG: they don't know that most people can't swim 4000 miles, apparently |
| 23:31.36 | CBG | they know pi |
| 23:31.37 | Erroneous | pi = C / D |
| 23:31.48 | CBG | JeffM: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pi |
| 23:32.00 | JeffM | that's an aproximation :) |
| 23:32.06 | Erroneous | mine wasn't :P |
| 23:32.10 | JeffM | indeed |
| 23:32.12 | CBG | L4m3r: I would guess they do, but that they also have a sense of humour. |
| 23:32.17 | JeffM | google dosnt' seem to know that one |
| 23:32.17 | CBG | Ok, fair point. |
| 23:32.20 | L4m3r | :D |
| 23:32.35 | CBG | Is there anything they don't know that someone else, somewhere, knows? |
| 23:32.53 | L4m3r | kind of odd that, er. nevermind. |
| 23:33.07 | JeffM | techincaly everyone can fit into that category |
| 23:33.19 | L4m3r | techincally DTR's method is still an approximation, since circumfrence is not measurable precisely |
| 23:33.34 | JeffM | his formula is corret |
| 23:33.41 | JeffM | if you take IS to mean = |
| 23:33.53 | JeffM | they do not, and can not know the numerical value |
| 23:33.54 | L4m3r | the true quantity of at least one of those measurements is irrational. I never thought of it that way. |
| 23:34.05 | JeffM | so I shoudl have said the numerical vlaue of PI, to get him too |
| 23:34.09 | Erroneous | L4m3r: if I know the precise circumference and the precise diameter, I know pi precisely :) |
| 23:34.27 | L4m3r | Erroneous: but one of those values must be irrational |
| 23:34.34 | Erroneous | correct |
| 23:34.48 | Erroneous | one of them always is |
| 23:34.48 | L4m3r | so it's not really possible to know with perfect precision |
| 23:34.52 | L4m3r | or to express, anyway |
| 23:34.59 | L4m3r | both may be |
| 23:35.08 | L4m3r | if your radius is, say, root 2 or pi |
| 23:35.18 | Erroneous | yup |
| 23:35.19 | L4m3r | or some other irrational measurement |
| 23:35.31 | CBG | tannerld: look back about 4 minutes |
| 23:35.59 | Erroneous | tannerld: it all started because jude- and his money didn't meet at the same place at the same time |
| 23:36.00 | CBG | s.c.r.o.l.l u.p ! |
| 23:36.46 | tannerld | :P |
| 23:37.55 | L4m3r | ...though admittedly I might not have, had said job not also been providing a place to live |
| 23:38.19 | L4m3r | with REALLY fast interweb :D |
| 23:38.29 | JeffM | probalby decently quiet there too |
| 23:38.58 | L4m3r | you're joking right? |
| 23:39.03 | a_meteorite | JeffM: quiet at a dorm? isn't that an oxymoron? |
| 23:39.03 | L4m3r | well, summertime, maybe |
| 23:39.14 | L4m3r | but the dorms are still in use |
| 23:39.14 | JeffM | that's what I mean |
| 23:39.19 | JeffM | when the others go home |
| 23:39.22 | L4m3r | the residents are just less drunk |
| 23:39.23 | JeffM | now during finals it's hell |
| 23:39.35 | JeffM | or are you on quarters? |
| 23:39.42 | L4m3r | quarters, yeah |
| 23:39.48 | L4m3r | so we have lots of finals :) |
| 23:40.09 | Erroneous | L4m3r: it's also possible to calculate pi from a double integral, or from a continued fraction (simplest is probably pi/4=(1+(1^2/(3+(2^2/(5+3^2/(7+4^2/(9+5^2...) |
| 23:40.15 | L4m3r | during week 10 and finals, there is "22 hours of quiet" |
| 23:40.46 | L4m3r | "quiet hours", which normally range from 10pm-8am or so, are extended to 7pm-5pm |
| 23:42.16 | JeffM | so summer should be better then |
| 23:43.01 | Erroneous | "quiet hours" |
| 23:43.03 | Erroneous | geez |
| 23:43.03 | L4m3r | marginally I suppose |
| 23:43.25 | L4m3r | the dorms are filled with incoming freshies and other garden-variety munchkins over the summer |
| 23:43.58 | CBG | well, you were one once :) |
| 23:44.00 | JeffM | comeon L4m3r drop out, be like us :) |
| 23:44.08 | Erroneous | L4m3r: just remember, prefrosh taste good fried or baked, but get tough when boiled |
| 23:44.23 | L4m3r | lol |
| 23:44.49 | L4m3r | haha, one time we served a dish at work |
| 23:44.54 | L4m3r | "hunan spare ribs" |
| 23:45.04 | L4m3r | many people misread it as "human spare ribs" |
| 23:45.07 | Erroneous | and here I thought you served people, not dishes! |
| 23:45.09 | L4m3r | oh, the jokes |
| 23:45.31 | Erroneous | indeed |
| 23:45.35 | L4m3r | "Yup. Beware- THIS is what happens when you steal food from the dining hall!" |
| 23:46.45 | JeffM | actualy the only reason I haven't seen if you wanted a job is cus your still in school :) |
| 23:47.02 | L4m3r | "yeah, every time some idiot sets off the fire alarm, we stick 'em in the freezer..." |
| 23:47.08 | L4m3r | heh |
| 23:47.20 | L4m3r | well, JeffM, I'll ask when I fail out of college ;) |
| 23:47.33 | JeffM | ok |
| 23:48.25 | JeffM | I think you'd make a good post developer |
| 23:48.37 | L4m3r | the other prospect is a job at the docks... I may be able to enter the employment lottery there, because my mother is a casual. |
| 23:48.51 | CBG | developing posts, I hear that's a a cracking career! |
| 23:48.57 | JeffM | Erroneous, did they see the pictures of you in drag |
| 23:49.02 | CBG | Erroneous: isn't it obvious? |
| 23:49.03 | Erroneous | heh, must have :) |
| 23:49.10 | JeffM | CBG, we need post developers |
| 23:49.12 | Erroneous | CBG: actually, no :) |
| 23:49.12 | JeffM | smart ones |
| 23:49.14 | *** join/#bzflag triclops (n=triclops@124-168-3-131.dyn.iinet.net.au) |
| 23:49.15 | JeffM | BAD |
| 23:49.23 | L4m3r | dockwork sounds crappy, but they get paid an obscene amount of money |
| 23:49.25 | Erroneous | MTM is not for the weak of mind |
| 23:49.35 | JeffM | no it's not |
| 23:49.48 | JeffM | and we need to come at it from a programing point of view |
| 23:49.52 | JeffM | not a machinest |
| 23:49.56 | L4m3r | well, time for work. I'm the cashier so I gotta be there early. |
| 23:50.00 | JeffM | have fun |
| 23:50.04 | L4m3r | mmhm |
| 23:50.18 | CBG | JeffM: I didn't suggest you didn't, just made a pun on the name... please don't hurt me. |
| 23:50.21 | L4m3r | come on down, we're serving ribs. Pork ribs, that is |
| 23:50.23 | JeffM | heh |
| 23:50.27 | Erroneous | hunan ribs? :P |
| 23:50.40 | JeffM | you'd laugh more at the name of the language CBG :) |
| 23:50.47 | CBG | Oh? |
| 23:50.50 | JeffM | it's named after poop |
| 23:50.57 | JeffM | the post compiler == ComPost |
| 23:51.06 | CBG | heh |
| 23:51.20 | L4m3r | do you guys support lolcode? |
| 23:51.30 | CBG | lolcode-- |
| 23:51.31 | L4m3r | bbl |
| 23:51.31 | JeffM | if it was better the compost I'd suport it |
| 23:51.44 | JeffM | and had a clean/automated upgrade path |
| 23:51.55 | CBG | I've seen at least 20 people mention lolcode today... it's not that great. :| |
| 23:52.00 | Erroneous | nothing is better than compost |
| 23:52.02 | Erroneous | ...for growing plants in |
| 23:52.09 | JeffM | we coudl probably automaticly upgrade to python |
| 23:52.17 | Winny | bah, I was just about to mention lolcode |
| 23:52.26 | tannerld | lol |
| 23:52.57 | Winny | "...O NOES |
| 23:52.57 | Winny | INVISIBLE "ERROR!" |
| 23:52.57 | Winny | KTHXBYE" |
| 23:53.10 | Erroneous | an automatic upgrade would probably subtlely change enough stuff to break a whole bunch of posts |
| 23:53.24 | JeffM | that is funny |
| 23:53.53 | JeffM | Erroneous, all we do is do some math and call some fucntiosn that NEVER return anything |
| 23:54.03 | JeffM | I think it' work |
| 23:54.07 | JeffM | with out breakage |
| 23:54.16 | JeffM | tho it'd probably make ugly pthon to you and I |
| 23:54.45 | Erroneous | I'm sure there'd be something we didn't anticipate |
| 23:54.57 | JeffM | possibly |
| 23:55.00 | Erroneous | and when you saw it you'd say "why the f- did they do it that way?" |
| 23:55.03 | JeffM | better to clean/split the post engine |
