| 16:26.28 | ninnypants | the thunderbolt is good except for the data connection issue |
| 16:27.02 | ninnypants | the batter charges really slow and runs out really fast but that may be because I got it used so a new battery could fix that |
| 16:27.32 | mindjuju | funny you say that, i have 2 chargers a car charger and a spare battery |
| 16:27.51 | mindjuju | 1 charger at home, one at work, spare batt at work |
| 16:28.11 | mindjuju | amazon has that stuff cheap |
| 16:28.24 | mindjuju | spare charger was $4, battery was like $17 |
| 16:28.27 | mindjuju | maybe 20? |
| 16:28.39 | ninnypants | I have a charger next to my bed and usb connections for my laptop that I haul around with me and one ni the car |

| 17:52.55 | fungus | Usually I do, but we don't have a CDN, we don't have that high traffic. |
| 17:55.04 | ninnypants | an interesting concept let the debate begin ;) http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/09/07/rushkoff.jobs.obsolete/index.html |
| 17:56.22 | fungus | only about 150k visits per month |
| 17:58.33 | mindjuju | influx, that's from the movie dodgeball |
| 17:59.36 | influx | Yep. :) |
| 17:59.51 | influx | *boom boom hiss* *boom boom hiss* |
| 18:00.11 | mindjuju | i just saw that again this past weekend |
| 18:01.11 | influx | Great flick. |
| 18:07.08 | fungus | ninnypants, that article has some interesting points, but it's main premise is broken. There is still tons of work needed to be done in this country. |
| 18:07.37 | fungus | He dismisses bridges, rails, roads, etc. But that is work that still needs to be done. |
| 18:07.37 | ninnypants | fungus: yeah that's what I was thinking too |
| 18:08.25 | ninnypants | though I think it will start moving the way he was talking about. at least with a lot of the work done by small busineses and freelancers |
| 18:08.37 | fungus | I agree that the nature of average work is changing |
| 18:09.22 | fungus | Unless we change to a non-capitalism based economy, it will not happen |
| 18:09.49 | ninnypants | fungus: what will not happen? |
| 18:10.08 | fungus | "at least with a lot of the work done by small busineses and freelancers" |
| 18:12.06 | fungus | the author is correct in that the very long-term future will require some changes, but those changes will come naturally as we will have more work in industrializing and technologizing the rest of the world. |
| 18:12.18 | ninnypants | I'm not sure because lots of people work for themselves already. Plenty of companies will grow to be giant but that's because you need to to that a lot of the time for many manufacturing companies or country wide companies |
| 18:13.24 | fungus | capitalism naturally favors those companies that have more capital. |
| 18:13.43 | ninnypants | fungus: oh for sure I would never expect it to change quickly but I think that unemployment isn't as big of a deal as people make it and I think it's importance will decline as people will start creating their own jobs freelancing or providing small service based busineses of some sort |
| 18:14.45 | fungus | ninnypants, i disagree, the unemployment problem is a very big deal in the short-term. Lots of people are struggling to get jobs, and are having a hard time just living. |
| 18:15.22 | fungus | There will always be a small percentage of unemployment, due to transitions, or those that just don't want jobs. |
| 18:15.53 | ninnypants | agreed |
| 18:16.05 | fungus | But as long as there are people willing to work, that can't get jobs it's a problem. |
| 18:17.25 | ninnypants | I'm saying that it's being blown up into a bigger issue than it actually is becase like you said there will always be a small percentage of unemployed because of transition or don't want jobs |
| 18:17.53 | fungus | Right, but the current percentage is much higher than that level. |
| 18:17.59 | ninnypants | the issue seems to be that technology is progressing and making more jobs obsolete before we can create new ones |
| 18:18.02 | fungus | So it is a really big issue |
| 18:18.17 | ninnypants | and will even out |
| 18:18.31 | fungus | actually no, more jobs have been moved to other countries than have been obsoleted by technology |
| 18:18.44 | ninnypants | very true |
| 18:19.47 | fungus | The short-term problem is we have work that needs to be done here, but no one wants to pay for it to get done. |
| 18:20.00 | ninnypants | America seems to have gone through and over all culture shift as well that is probably causing problems |
| 18:21.23 | ninnypants | very true on that too but I wonder how much of that is because of regulations |
| 18:21.31 | SunSparc | "Death to the aristocracy! Long live the Republic!" |
| 18:21.42 | ninnypants | from what I understand high speed trains have been held back by regulations |
| 18:21.48 | ninnypants | I may be wrong about that though |
| 18:21.49 | fungus | Partly. Globalization is a natural, unstoppable force. And currently this major imbalance of power/resources creates this high unemployment here, but lower unemployment in developing countries |
| 18:22.15 | SunSparc | ninnypants: I have heard the same about high efficiency vehicles. |
| 18:22.44 | ninnypants | SunSparc: I've wondered how much of that is oil companies buying up patents |
| 18:22.56 | SunSparc | ninnypants: Hmmmm... |
| 18:23.43 | SunSparc | Change is always painful, inevitable, but painful. |
| 18:23.44 | ninnypants | I'm not sure if it's happening but if I had lots of money invested in something that could be replaced by another fuel that would easily drive me out of business I'd do whatever I could to stop it |
| 18:24.03 | fungus | In the very long-term, globalization will have balanced around the world, and the lines between countries will have blurred to the level that state lines are now. |
| 18:25.25 | SunSparc | ninnypants: True, though if there were something else out there that could replace me, it would be prudent to realize that it will happen eventually and why not jump on that new technology and make it mine and help develop it faster. Then I would make money off the old tech and the new incoming tech. |
| 18:25.42 | SunSparc | fungus: We can only hope. |
| 18:26.20 | ninnypants | SunSparc: I read something about that and why it doesn't work for large companies like the oil companies let me see if I can find it |
| 18:26.23 | SunSparc | fungus: It has been my thought recently that the problems of the world seem to be cause mostly by those who want a piece of running the world. |
| 18:27.29 | SunSparc | For the most part, citizens of nations do not really seem to care what their "leaders" are doing and just want to live life happily, peacefully, making a living and spending time with their family. |
| 18:28.21 | SunSparc | Let us just stick all the government leaders of the world and send them to colonize Mars. |
| 18:28.33 | fungus | lol |
| 18:28.41 | SunSparc | Though, someone else will eventually want to be in charge and start causing more problems. |
| 18:28.48 | fungus | exactly |
| 18:29.05 | ninnypants | we'll send them to mars too |
| 18:29.09 | ninnypants | ;) |
| 18:29.12 | SunSparc | :D |
| 18:29.24 | SunSparc | I guess government is a necessary evil. |
| 18:30.01 | fungus | in the US the real problem is the institutionalized corruption of politicians. |
| 18:30.19 | SunSparc | Agreed. |
| 18:30.23 | unum | but it's gotten a lot better |
| 18:30.26 | fungus | http://fixcongressfirst.org/ |
| 18:30.29 | unum | I have hope that it can get even better |
| 18:30.32 | unum | ya I agree with that |
| 18:30.37 | SunSparc | Have you guys ever watched, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington"? |
| 18:30.50 | SunSparc | fungus: I suscribe to that site. |
| 18:31.01 | unum | I tried to get a job there :) |
| 18:31.22 | SunSparc | Congress stopped you? |
| 18:31.23 | fungus | nice |
| 18:31.29 | unum | of course currently I do the opposite |
| 18:32.10 | unum | let's just say I don't exactly measure up to swartz |
| 18:32.16 | SunSparc | lol |
| 18:32.17 | unum | aaron swartz |
| 18:32.53 | SunSparc | "You must learn to use the power of the swartz". |
| 18:38.14 | mindjuju | so i'm curious, what was the resolution from the conversation |
| 18:38.16 | ninnypants | That video gave me an idea for an expiriment. They should give people trying to be elected for offce a flip camera and a laptop. They can use any applications/social media sites on the net but any travel has be out of pocket they can't raise money |
| 18:38.22 | ninnypants | see how it changes things |
| 18:38.50 | mgeary | that just enables wealthy politicians |
| 18:38.52 | SunSparc | ninnypants: That would be interesting. |
| 18:39.16 | mgeary | so it's not too different than what we have now, imo |
| 18:39.17 | ninnypants | mindjuju: I don't think there was one |
| 18:39.30 | ninnypants | mgeary: that's what I was about to say |
| 18:39.41 | SunSparc | How about this, anyone who wants to lead our nation needs to go live in a third world country for a year. |
| 18:39.51 | ninnypants | you could limit it even more and say they can't do any travel |
| 18:39.57 | unum | SunSparc: that reminds me of a tr quote |
| 18:40.17 | ninnypants | or if they want to travel they have to hitch hike , ride a bike or walk |
| 18:40.52 | mindjuju | i'm curious how any of those help to make a better leader or better balance the playing field |
| 18:41.02 | mgeary | i'd prefer some mechanism in place such that there was no way politicians could financially benefit from their political service |
| 18:41.09 | mindjuju | you don't have to go to a third world country to see poverty |
| 18:41.14 | fungus | ninnypants it's simpler than that. Just make all campaigns equally and publicly financed |
| 18:41.15 | mindjuju | believe it or not, it exists here too |
| 18:42.00 | SunSparc | mindjuju: There is so much more than poverty in third world countries. |
| 18:42.12 | mindjuju | like |
| 18:42.47 | SunSparc | mindjuju: Completely different ideaologies and cultures. |
| 18:43.44 | fungus | SunSparc, that won't fix it. because they can't compete with others that have millions in campaign funds. |

| 18:44.34 | SunSparc | Probably true. |
| 18:45.12 | fungus | fixcongressfirst.org suggests a hybrid of small-dollar donations and public financing. |
| 18:45.43 | fungus | That sounds to me like the best option. |
| 18:46.24 | fungus | Then there are no worries about your congress person catering laws to a particular special interest. |
| 18:47.34 | ninnypants-mobil | Makes sense |
| 18:49.56 | mindjuju | "there are no worries about your congress person " <-- i wouldn't go quite that far |
| 18:50.12 | mindjuju | ;) |
| 18:51.27 | fungus | true |
| 18:55.37 | ninnypants-mobil | What if politicians were removed completely? A list of issues could be compiled and they would write their position in them and a general description of what they hoped to accomplish during their term. They can update them a limited number of times and citizens could compare revisions. politicos wouldn't asked to talk to anyone during the campaign period |
| 19:03.16 | fungus | Back to topic somewhat... :) |
| 19:03.25 | fungus | Anyone have any thoughts of using Bootstrap? |

| 19:21.39 | mindjuju | it was ninnypants throwing a cnn article into the mix |
| 19:21.41 | fungus | It started here. |
| 19:22.08 | unum | roemer was on the daily show advocating campaign finance reform |
| 19:22.26 | mindjuju | that i'm sure is coming from everybody and their dog submitting in the next couple of days, a Job Package to get more jobs in America |
| 19:22.38 | mindjuju | as a matter of fact, i'm submitting a job package |
| 19:22.41 | mindjuju | i think fungus is too |

| 19:23.28 | unum | one time I went to party and all anyone did was work in real estate/mortage |
| 19:23.41 | unum | they're probably all unemployed now..... |
| 19:24.10 | unum | but they weren't really doing anything useful, just giving loans to people they knew couldn't pay them back |
| 19:24.40 | fungus | But the author, used that idea to move to the false idea that there is no work left to do. |
| 19:25.33 | unum | there is still work that needs to be done, but do we all need to work 40 hours a week? |
| 19:26.04 | fungus | we don't all need to, but there are lots that do |
| 19:27.21 | unum | I think if every adult in the world worked 20 hours a week we would still produce as much stuff |
| 19:28.02 | fungus | I agree, but there are lots of jobs that don't produce stuff that are just as important. |

| 22:12.43 | fungus | mindjuju so |
| 22:12.47 | mindjuju | my little desktop is struggling to keep up with everything i'm doing, remoted into several computers, tons of browsers, etc |
| 22:12.56 | mindjuju | i was thinking of upgrading my desktop when i had thi idea |
| 22:13.09 | mindjuju | what about a server for a desktop |
| 22:13.20 | fungus | too loud |
| 22:13.23 | fungus | too big |
| 22:13.25 | mindjuju | dual xeon, phat RAM, RAID hdd |
| 22:13.44 | mindjuju | i've got over the ear headphones |
| 22:13.48 | fungus | lol |
| 22:14.07 | mindjuju | i'm wondering if it's too much gun for me |
| 22:14.07 | fungus | anyone have to work in the same room or nearby room as you? |
| 22:14.18 | mindjuju | oh yeah, about 30 people within earshot of it |
| 22:14.26 | fungus | Yeah, not a good idea |
| 22:14.29 | fungus | they'd hate you |
| 22:14.34 | mindjuju | but don't people drive harleys cause they are loud? |
| 22:14.52 | fungus | lol, that's not an all day thing |
| 22:15.04 | mindjuju | fungus = voice of reason |
| 22:15.21 | fungus | But, no, it's not too much gun for you, you just need to rethink the form factor |
| 22:15.41 | fungus | There are desktops with that much (or near that much) gun |
| 22:16.00 | mindjuju | maybe i'll find some way to dampen the fans sound |
| 22:16.11 | mindjuju | it's got redundant power supply, how manydesktops have that? |
| 22:16.24 | mindjuju | and dual nics! |
| 22:16.40 | fungus | What about video? |
| 22:17.04 | mindjuju | you know, i'm not sure what kind of video it has, but lately, i've just been looking at console screens |
| 22:17.04 | fungus | servers usually have crap for video |
| 22:17.13 | mindjuju | and at most, youtube music videos |
| 22:17.36 | fungus | You'll need cool 3d effects for your window manager |
| 22:18.12 | mindjuju | what kind of comp do you have over there? |
| 22:18.16 | mindjuju | i7? |
| 22:18.20 | fungus | yup |
| 22:18.23 | mindjuju | knew it |
| 22:18.32 | mindjuju | prolly a truckload of RAM too |
| 22:18.33 | fungus | 8G RAM |

| 22:20.15 | fungus | But skip the server idea |
| 22:20.34 | fungus | noise, size, and video make it painful |
