| 18:49.44 | burnin | software, provided careful drafting of the patent application |
| 18:49.46 | burnin | establishes the invention as something more than a mere mathematical |

| 18:50.28 | burnin | A vigorous dissent by Chief Judge Archer, joined by Judge |

| 20:41.44 | mgeary | i think both of them are extremists, so not much good could possibly come of the debate |
| 20:42.14 | mgeary | but i believe that what hannity does is more damaging to society |
| 20:43.53 | mindjuju | mgeary, i honestly haven't heard any hannity, but what does he say or do that is more damaging? |
| 20:45.01 | mgeary | ultimately, i think it's a kind of hate speech. |
| 20:45.20 | mindjuju | hmmm... i'll have to try to catch some of his talk |
| 20:45.25 | mgeary | but it's couched in "home values" talk |
| 20:45.34 | mgeary | which deceives and seduces people |
| 20:46.07 | mgeary | make that "family values" |
| 20:46.20 | wps | interesting |
| 20:46.29 | wps | I listen to a lot of Hannity and don't think it is hate at all |
| 20:46.33 | mindjuju | i personally feel i'm conservative enough on my own with the research I do, so don't tend to listen to conservative talk radio |
| 20:46.36 | mgeary | hannity isn't as incendiary as idiots like Michael Medved or Glen Beck, but i classifly them all together |
| 20:48.05 | mgeary | they are dividers, not uniters, to coin a phrase |
| 20:48.25 | mindjuju | it's funny you say that |
| 20:48.40 | mgeary | ? |
| 20:48.41 | mindjuju | i've seen a lot of action on both sides of the spectrum that polorizes |
| 20:48.46 | mgeary | sure |
| 20:48.54 | mgeary | there's no shortage of left-wing nutjobs |
| 20:49.12 | mindjuju | makes me wish i were back in college studying poli sci |
| 20:49.20 | mgeary | but if i compare Hannity with, say, *anyone* on NPR, well, there's no contest there for me |
| 20:49.35 | mindjuju | yeah, but NPR isn't the paragon of impartiality |

| 21:19.40 | mgeary | "here's a book, you HAVE to read page 3. DON'T skip page 3. We're NOT going to let you skip page 3" |
| 21:20.11 | timinator | for sure |
| 21:20.30 | mindjuju | anyhow, who are they stopping by using this AACS? the hackers? nope. Just the consumer |
| 21:20.56 | timinator | yep, that's it |
| 21:21.04 | _psychic_ | I don't know about the legality of obtaining and using that key |
| 21:21.16 | mindjuju | and the consumer is finding out quickly, hey, i can get a DVD bloated with warnings and commericials about not pirating movies, or i can pirate movies and just get the dang movie, and for free to boot! |
| 21:21.26 | _psychic_ | but it seems like a two-wrongs-don't-make-a-right thing to me |
| 21:21.31 | mgeary | _psychic_: it's not legal. esp. not since the DMCA |
| 21:21.55 | mgeary | but that's not entirely the point, i suspect |
| 21:22.50 | _psychic_ | Well I think there's probably a better way to go about combating unfair copyright restrictions. |
| 21:23.16 | mgeary | very possibly. but what's going on with that number certainly does communicate a point |
| 21:23.32 | Lone_Wanderer | I think the point is that it's not legal, but the law that makes it illegal is absurdly retarded, so let's disobey it and, in disobeying, invalidate the law. |
| 21:24.14 | mgeary | stupid, quick change of topic here-- how do i make "grep" actually use a regular expression for it's match string? |
| 21:24.20 | Lone_Wanderer | _psychic_: I don't think there is. I'm not trying to draw a moral comparison here, only a behavioral one, but reproducing the key in as many places you want is similar to Ghandi's peaceful refusal to obey British law. |
| 21:24.36 | Lone_Wanderer | mgeary: man grep ;) (I think it's -r actually, but I don't recall). |
| 21:24.51 | _psychic_ | it always uses regex |
| 21:24.53 | _psychic_ | gREp |
| 21:25.07 | mgeary | no it doesn't |
| 21:25.21 | mgeary | ls -al | grep "." will only give you entries with periods |
| 21:25.40 | _psychic_ | Lone_Wanderer: yeah I think the Ghandi comparison doesn't quite hold water for me, but I kinda see what you're after |
| 21:25.56 | Lone_Wanderer | Well, like I said, there is no moral comparison between the two. |
| 21:26.05 | Lone_Wanderer | Or at least, I wouldn't want to go on record as having made one. |
| 21:26.27 | Lone_Wanderer | But Ghandi disobeyed laws he thought were wrong, and so are the people who reproduce the CD key. |
| 21:26.37 | mgeary | grep *does* appear to use regexps. my bad |
| 21:27.52 | mindjuju | sorry, had to step away for a moment |
| 21:28.11 | mindjuju | concur with Lone_wanderer, this IS a fine example of civil disobedience |
| 21:28.44 | mindjuju | Congress is clearly being influenced by the MPAA and RIAA (darn you Orrin!!!) lobbyists |
| 21:29.55 | Lone_Wanderer | I have no intention of ever actually cracking HD-DVD encryption. |

| 21:31.44 | mgeary | though it feels like 90 |
| 21:32.00 | mindjuju | on the other hand, _psychic_ , 2 wrongs Don't make a right, and we should try to vote and influence or legislature into writing appropriate laws that preserve consumer rights |
| 21:32.28 | mindjuju | oops, not or, our legislature |
| 21:32.39 | mgeary | the sad thing is, BOTH major parties are messed up on this issue |
| 21:32.49 | mgeary | big business has paid them too much |
| 21:32.53 | mindjuju | well, the RIAA doesn't play favorites |
| 21:33.15 | mindjuju | yeah, i'm just glad contributions have to be disclosed so that we can see who is giving who money |
| 21:33.28 | mgeary | fat load o' good it's done so far :/ |
| 21:34.01 | mindjuju | on the disclosures? we have to do something with the knowledge now that we have it |
| 21:34.08 | cynical_bustard | people won't |
| 21:34.29 | cynical_bustard | look at Pete Ashdown's voting results |
| 21:34.57 | mindjuju | yeah, but every time i get a chance to talk about the DMCA and Orrin, I always mention that it has been disclosed that he took 125,000 in contributions the year the DMCA came out. (might have been the year after) |
| 21:35.12 | cynical_bustard | the problem is, people not as close to the technical aspects of the issue don't really understand this issue at all |
| 21:35.34 | mindjuju | and i did write him a letter saying i wasn't for the DMCA and wasn't a fan of him taking FILTHY LUCURE for his bad bill |
| 21:36.28 | cynical_bustard | and, well hey, Orrin's from the "family values" party, so you know who grandpa is going to vote for. <grumbles> |
| 21:36.55 | mindjuju | actually, Orrin did something else recently that pissed me off, but can't think of what it is |
| 21:37.31 | mindjuju | but one of those things where you got to say, come on, Orrin, lets keep it clean |
| 21:37.51 | cynical_bustard | when he attacked Harry Reid? |
| 21:38.08 | cynical_bustard | it's a mormon-on-mormon catfight. oooooo |
| 21:38.16 | cynical_bustard | ;) |
| 21:38.25 | mindjuju | yeah, it's funny how many people don't know Harry is LDS |
| 21:38.41 | mindjuju | wasn't that though |
| 21:39.25 | cynical_bustard | frankly, i think Harry Reid will play a major role in increasing support for Mitt Romney, because he provides a counterpoint, so people will be less worried about how whacky Mitt might turn out to be |
| 21:39.38 | cynical_bustard | but i can't see Mitt carrying the nomination |
| 21:39.46 | mindjuju | yeah, me neither |
| 21:39.50 | cynical_bustard | but i did think he came off very well on Leno the other night |
| 21:39.58 | mindjuju | didn't see leno |
| 21:40.02 | cynical_bustard | it was pretty good |
| 21:40.25 | Lone_Wanderer | I really, really hope Mitt wins the election. |
| 21:40.27 | cynical_bustard | really, the only beef i've got with Mitt is his (current) slavish support for Bush |
| 21:40.53 | cynical_bustard | he's a very smart, very accomplished guy. |
| 21:40.58 | Lone_Wanderer | And it's for a really bad and selfish reason, specifically that I'm sick of people bashing Mormons and hope that if we get one in office, people will all calm down a bit. |
| 21:41.10 | Lone_Wanderer | I think his support for Bush is more political than anything else. |
| 21:41.10 | cynical_bustard | nah |
| 21:41.16 | cynical_bustard | yes |
| 21:42.15 | mindjuju | Can Mitt win the nomination, possibly, can he win the election, i do believe being LDS will seriously influence that |
| 21:42.28 | mindjuju | now the funny thing is though |
| 21:42.39 | Lone_Wanderer | Who's Harry Reid? |
| 21:42.52 | mindjuju | if Hilary wins the nomination, there are conservatives out the wazoo that are scared of that women and will come in record numbers to vote against here |
| 21:42.58 | mindjuju | harry reid is senate majority leader |
| 21:43.00 | cynical_bustard | Lone_Wanderer: you serious? |
| 21:43.07 | Lone_Wanderer | I am serious yes. |
| 21:43.13 | mindjuju | now, the question is, who would win |
| 21:43.23 | Lone_Wanderer | Between Hillary and Mitt? |
| 21:43.26 | mindjuju | Mitt v Hillary |
| 21:43.28 | mindjuju | yup |
| 21:43.28 | Lone_Wanderer | THAT would be an epic battle. |
| 21:43.31 | Lone_Wanderer | Wow. |
| 21:43.40 | mindjuju | people are dreadfully afraid on both sides of them |
| 21:44.01 | Lone_Wanderer | Scary, heinous, vicious, backstabbing, fire-breathing, man-hating democrat vs. Mitt. |
| 21:44.31 | mindjuju | hillary causes fear and trembling in the hearts of 99% of conservatives |
| 21:44.34 | cynical_bustard | won't come to that |
| 21:44.41 | cynical_bustard | for exactly the reasons you're talking about |
| 21:44.58 | mindjuju | yup, Hillary wouldn't win if she got the nomination |
| 21:45.21 | Lone_Wanderer | I don't know what it is about that woman but she chills my soul. |
| 21:45.35 | Lone_Wanderer | Probably she's a warlock and it's all those soul shards that she carries around. |
| 21:45.51 | cynical_bustard | i think people are ready for a bit of fresh blood in the WH. i mean, that'd be 24+ years of presidency across TWO families |
| 21:46.03 | mindjuju | Lone_wanderer, it's this |
