15:33.35 | CTLAdvance | hey templarian |
15:39.11 | CTLAdvance | I saw your new heli |
15:39.20 | Templarian | CTLAdvance: Yep. |
15:40.09 | Templarian | (just got back from a meeting so slow response there) |
15:40.29 | Templarian | It has 2 day shipping so hopefully it will be here by Saturday. |
15:40.41 | CTLAdvance | np - Thanks for the site as well, I may order one just to play with my son... he would think thats cool |
15:40.57 | CTLAdvance | Did you see the black one is only 22 bucks? |
15:41.15 | Templarian | Yea, watch the videos though there is a reason. |
15:41.37 | CTLAdvance | I didnt see much different |
15:41.41 | Templarian | I got the 40 dollar one which was 48.80 after taxes and shipping. Nice deal since it has a gyro sensor. |
15:41.44 | CTLAdvance | does the one you ordered have more tork |
15:41.54 | CTLAdvance | Ah yes the gyro |
15:41.57 | Templarian | It has a gyro sensor so it auto trims. |
15:42.05 | CTLAdvance | Yep makes it more stable |
15:42.13 | CTLAdvance | thats why the black one has the dial |
15:42.39 | Templarian | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMsZ91K8ip4 |
15:45.27 | CTLAdvance | mm I want to hang a dog treat off of one |
15:45.30 | CTLAdvance | :) |
15:45.42 | CTLAdvance | or a ~botsnack |
15:45.42 | Templarian | I'm using mind to play with my bro's new kitten that he's getting |
15:45.48 | CTLAdvance | nice |
15:47.02 | Templarian | He doesn't get it till christmas so I'll have practice time. |
15:47.09 | Templarian | Small string should work. |
15:47.26 | Templarian | A dog treat would be like watching jaws attack a helicopter. |
15:47.32 | CTLAdvance | yeah |
15:47.45 | CTLAdvance | Thats why I am thinking the 20 dollar one incase I bust it up |
15:48.29 | Templarian | Just get crazy glue. I had a toy helicopter that was 20% crazy glue. But it was an outdoor one. |
15:48.39 | CTLAdvance | We have a beagal that thinks he is still a puppy, it would be hilarious, and then my son would laugh his ass off at the dog |
15:49.14 | Templarian | For the price it would be worth it. |
15:49.28 | CTLAdvance | yeah |
15:49.33 | Templarian | (that one I bought is already 10 dollars cheaper than everywhere else online) |
15:49.56 | CTLAdvance | Yeah - The funny thing is its cheaper than store baught ones as well |
15:50.16 | CTLAdvance | like 100 cheaper for a comprable model |
15:50.52 | Templarian | My bro is like you are going to tramatise the little kitten. His friends told him to shoot it out of the air (my bro has a military training P90) |
15:51.18 | Templarian | Yep. The one with the dual fans looks pretty nice also. |
15:51.22 | Templarian | (30 dollars) |
15:52.23 | Templarian | I was looking at another one for 100 dollars it has 4 blades and 3 gyro sensors it can sit in the air with exact precision, looked to take the fun out of it a bit too much though. |
15:56.13 | CTLAdvance | yeah |
15:56.27 | CTLAdvance | did you see the apache they have for 100, that shoots pellets |
16:00.21 | Templarian | Yea that's dumb it's really weak. Someone put a full airsoft gun on a gas powered one, it was pretty slick. |
16:01.17 | Templarian | I wish my bro was better at eletrical engineering I wanted him to make a 8 engine aircraft that uses 4 engines for sustained flight and the other 4 to lift objects (like his kitten). |
16:01.58 | CTLAdvance | HAH |
16:02.31 | CTLAdvance | That wouldnt be that hard, except for making everything work right together, also better add a parachute to kitty incase he needs to be ejected |
16:03.04 | CTLAdvance | brb |
16:03.11 | Templarian | It would be jarrasic park style. |
16:10.13 | CTLAdvance | They also have a flying FUCK |

18:19.44 | Templarian | Eguy: You've said it yourself a thousand times it's because there is no GPU usage. |
18:20.09 | Eguy | I still am not convinced |
18:20.48 | CTLAdvance-webos | Ts slow because the cpu is under used at the moment |
18:22.01 | CTLAdvance-webos | Also any unsupported patches and tweaks cause great lsowness after time |

18:31.03 | Templarian | My device is perfectly fine I don't use patches though. |
18:31.24 | gkatsev | i use patches. patches make the phone even awesomer |

18:31.34 | Eguy | Templarian: you don't use patches |
18:31.35 | Eguy | ? |
18:31.44 | CTLAdvance-webos | <PROTECTED> |
18:32.19 | Templarian | Nope. None. |
18:32.20 | Eguy | Surprising |
18:32.20 | Eguy | I took you for a patcher |
18:32.20 | CTLAdvance-webos | I usually don't either |
18:32.20 | Templarian | Nah, my friends though go patch crazy with their Pre's. |
18:32.57 | CTLAdvance-webos | I find package manager slows it the most for some reason and not sure why |
18:33.00 | Eguy | launch contacts on a treo 650 and launch contacts on the pre and tell me again the pre is quick |
18:33.18 | Eguy | It just isn't |
18:33.48 | Templarian | I had the but where the pre got stuck in a loop and drained my battery in an hour and toasted my leg. |
18:33.55 | Templarian | bug** |
18:34.03 | gkatsev | lol |
18:34.09 | CTLAdvance-webos | We have the same issue with our ubuntu machines... I have almost converted all back to windows now |
18:35.13 | Eguy | whoever did the 1.3.1 roamonly patch fucked up monumentally |
18:39.17 | CTLAdvance-webos | This would have been built using a windows ce core |
18:39.40 | CTLAdvance-webos | This would have been better is windows ce core was used. |
18:39.57 | Eguy | CTLAdvance-webos: I hope you don't tkae offense to and mind me calling you greedy |
18:40.19 | CTLAdvance-webos | Nope but might I ask why? |
18:40.36 | Eguy | Charging for an ad-supported app? |
18:40.51 | CTLAdvance-webos | To be honest I am very happy with the device |
18:40.52 | CTLAdvance-webos | Where |
18:40.57 | Mousey | Eguy: he's a windows guy, you sound so surprised. =) |
18:41.02 | gkatsev | Eguy: what? |
18:41.08 | CTLAdvance-webos | Nothing should have a charge if its app supported |
18:41.14 | CTLAdvance-webos | What's the app |
18:41.19 | gkatsev | *ad |
18:41.30 | Eguy | One of your sound apps |
18:41.58 | CTLAdvance-webos | None of them should have a charge and be ad supported, do you know which? |
18:42.27 | Eguy | All the ones in the catalog cost money... |
18:43.03 | CTLAdvance-webos | Ok let me look they should be free if ad supported |
18:43.25 | gkatsev | or not ad supported, lol |
18:43.45 | CTLAdvance-webos | And just because I am a windows guy doesn't make me greedy mousy |
18:44.11 | Mousey | sure thing there buddy. ;) |
18:44.32 | Mousey | is just being trite |
18:44.47 | Eguy | lol |
18:44.49 | Eguy | fight on |
18:44.56 | Eguy | great |
18:44.57 | CTLAdvance-webos | Hah ugh I guess I am fighting a losing battle when most of you are open source supporters |

18:50.00 | CTLAdvance-webos | One thing pc and linux users get is cheaper machines compared to apple |
18:50.12 | Mousey | s/pc/windows/ |
18:50.25 | Eguy | jesus christ |
18:50.27 | Templarian | The idea of using OS X for a server sounds like a horrible idea. |
18:50.30 | Eguy | who let this patch release |
18:50.31 | Mousey | it's such a bad word, people have to use an inappropriate acronym to refer to it? |
18:50.32 | CTLAdvance-webos | Templarian - our windows servers are rarely down |
18:50.47 | Templarian | CTLAdvance-webos: we use windows servers also. |
18:50.47 | Eguy | OS X server actually is not bad |
18:50.55 | Eguy | I have one |
18:51.07 | gkatsev | ~lart Templarian |
18:51.07 | infobot | cats /dev/urandom into Templarian's ear |
18:51.14 | Mousey | i imagine OS X server is fine, as long as you don't mind lack of hardware configurations |
18:51.20 | Eguy | Nah |
18:51.31 | Eguy | Server 08 R2 is the best |
18:51.41 | Eguy | Hyper-V is awesome |
18:52.38 | CTLAdvance-webos | aour linux servers always get screwed up and need a clean install. Just like our macs, not sure where people say they are so great. |
18:52.43 | CTLAdvance-webos | Or were always |
18:52.51 | CTLAdvance-webos | We got rid of them as well |
18:52.55 | Eguy | who does your IT work? |
18:53.05 | Eguy | college kids? |
18:53.12 | Mousey | linux servers only get screwed up if people don't know what they're doing |
18:53.20 | Eguy | Exactly |
18:53.32 | Mousey | stick with what you know, wind0zer |
18:53.33 | gkatsev | also, you dont want to run only one type of server. its safer that way |
18:53.48 | CTLAdvance-webos | Nope linux server admins who supposedly have exp we went through 3 of them |
18:53.50 | Mousey | homogeny is the surest way to lose a whole orchard |
18:53.51 | Templarian | Linux servers do require clean installs my bro manages a ton of servers for printing on campus and they all needed a clean install to update thier ubuntu due to feature needs. |
18:53.57 | Eguy | Never touch a server if you don't know what you are doing |
18:54.15 | Mousey | Templarian: problem identified: ubuntu |
18:54.36 | gkatsev | not if you use ksplice. allows you to install kernel patches and updates without rebooting. :) |
18:54.42 | CTLAdvance-webos | Exactly that's why I stay away from linux servers, its cheaper anyway. No need for an admin |
18:54.49 | Eguy | Thank you webos-internals patch |
18:54.50 | Mousey | seriously, if you went thru 3 linux admins and couldn't find a good one, revisit your interview metrics |
18:54.55 | Eguy | phone prefs now not working |
18:55.06 | Templarian | Mousey: what's wrong with ubuntu, it comes feature packed and ready for deployment. |
18:55.09 | gkatsev | Eguy: sounds like its time to visit the doctor |
18:55.17 | Eguy | 3 linux admins aged 12? |
18:55.23 | Eguy | gkatsev: fuck the doctor |
18:55.26 | CTLAdvance-webos | Mousey - or get rid of linux, no need for failure |
18:55.30 | Eguy | I will fix it myself |
18:55.39 | Mousey | CTLAdvance-webos: welcome to the hamster wheel |
18:55.40 | Templarian | doesn't use ubuntu and perfers his windows setup GUI's ftw. |

18:55.52 | CTLAdvance-webos | Hah |
18:55.58 | CTLAdvance-webos | Oh I will |
18:56.00 | Eguy | Need more time |
18:56.02 | Mousey | i'm sure |
18:56.10 | Eguy | you kids behave yourself |
18:56.15 | CTLAdvance-webos | And I will enjoy virtually no downtime |
18:56.19 | Eguy | Daddy won't be around to spank you |
18:56.20 | gkatsev | Eguy: i refuse |
18:56.32 | Mousey | going with what you know, a great american pasttime |
18:56.35 | CTLAdvance-webos | Thanks to redundant virtual servers |
18:56.37 | Eguy | Be back later |
18:57.03 | Mousey | yah, because redundant virtual servers wasn't invented by linux or -anything- |
18:57.37 | CTLAdvance-webos | Mousey - I do use windows at work, at home I have 2 linux machines to play with. |
18:57.42 | CTLAdvance-webos | Well aside from my pcs |
18:57.53 | gkatsev | a correctly setup linux server shouldnt need touching. it might be easier to set up a windows server correctly though, perhaps. |
18:57.58 | Templarian | My linux box is just a really old computer. |
18:58.11 | CTLAdvance-webos | Don't care, if we need multiple windows servers we have them up and available |
18:58.17 | gkatsev | CTLAdvance-webos: PCs are linux. or windows. or mac. |
18:58.18 | Mousey | for a price |
18:58.28 | Mousey | which sucks revenue away |
18:58.29 | CTLAdvance-webos | True |
18:58.40 | Templarian | gkatsev: linux servers are a pain so many commands to setup stuff (although there are easy packages that do it, but all the settings are never correct). |
18:58.47 | Mousey | but hey, you've already paid for the talent, and retooling seems a bit much |
18:58.49 | CTLAdvance-webos | Downtime sucks more revene away |
18:59.02 | Mousey | need more redundancy |
18:59.05 | Mousey | or rater |
18:59.06 | Mousey | better admins |
18:59.08 | Mousey | +h |
18:59.15 | CTLAdvance-webos | Spelling mistakes also suck revenue away... Sigh |
18:59.29 | Mousey | not nearly as much though. ;) |
19:00.02 | gkatsev | yeah, like that bank that closed its shares at $3.000 instead of $3000. |
19:00.20 | Mousey | in some countries, . is the , it is in the us |
19:00.20 | CTLAdvance-webos | Agreed |
19:00.31 | CTLAdvance-webos | Yep |
19:00.35 | Mousey | need better coders |
19:00.50 | Mousey | it's always funny to me when failure is blamed on the tool instead of the wielder |
19:01.07 | CTLAdvance-webos | Who blammed the tool? |

19:05.10 | Eguy | I am really going now |
19:05.11 | Mousey | goes off to pirate linux |
19:05.15 | Mousey | ..wiat |
19:05.22 | Mousey | s/ai/ia/ |
19:05.27 | Mousey | s/ai/ia/ |
19:05.32 | Mousey | s/ia/ai/ |
19:05.44 | gkatsev | within Î cm? |
19:05.56 | Mousey | i like Î |
19:06.04 | gkatsev | i also like pie |
19:06.22 | *** part/#webos-watercooler CTLAdvance-webos (n=wIRCer@72-61-227-25.pools.spcsdns.net) |
19:06.30 | Templarian | Yay he's gone. |
19:06.51 | Templarian | :P |
19:06.59 | gkatsev | who is? |
19:10.22 | Templarian | I was hoping he would reconnect right after but he didn't. |
19:10.32 | Templarian | Failed joke. |
19:31.41 | Mousey | man |
19:31.43 | Mousey | windows fanboys |
19:31.50 | Mousey | i think they're all paid |
19:32.39 | Mousey | wonders why he's trolling wind0zers so hard today |
19:38.16 | Templarian | Mousey: It's a better achetecture, so much so that Mono was made to copy it. |
19:38.49 | Mousey | now who's trollin' |
19:38.51 | Mousey | ^_^ |
19:38.53 | Templarian | So my boss is retiring. He hasn't told anyone and I'm getting transfered so everyone is in the dark. |
19:39.10 | Templarian | Mousey: That's not trolling that's a factual statment that even linux users know. |
19:39.16 | Mousey | how will transfering you keep you from blogging about it? |
19:39.33 | Mousey | Templarian: linux people in general shun mono, and it STILL doesn't even support winforms |
19:39.39 | Mousey | most linux people are like do not want |
19:39.48 | Templarian | I'm getting transfered 2 to a building a few feet away right now I have a huge office to myself. |
19:40.07 | Mousey | so that it exists, has nothing to do with whether anyone asked for it or wants it |
19:40.24 | Templarian | Novell seems to love it and other companies. |
19:40.41 | Templarian | It's going to expand till it envelopes linux. |
19:40.45 | Mousey | lol |
19:41.20 | Mousey | it exists because it can exist, that's the open source way.. it doesn't exist because it's wanted or needed or in demand |
19:41.40 | Mousey | if novell is investing in it, its because they can invest in it. not because it's wanted or needed |
19:41.59 | Templarian | People love C# it was eventually going to happen. |
19:42.07 | Mousey | again, marketing |
19:42.23 | Mousey | it has to fight for success like any other idea people get a hair up their butt to implement |
19:42.50 | Templarian | Marketing? C# 4.0 is really the best of all languages rolled into one simple syntax. |
19:42.55 | Mousey | and mono (and moonlight too, for that matter) are not exactly high on people's lists.. you can tell by the lack of features compared to the windows versions |
19:43.11 | Mousey | languages are only as good as what their useful for writing |
19:43.27 | Mousey | you won't see C# in embedded spaces, where C and asm make more sense, for example |
19:43.40 | Mousey | it won't be replacing shell scripting |
19:43.48 | Mousey | it has it's place among languages |
19:43.54 | Mousey | but to say it's the "best" is to ignore context |
19:44.02 | Templarian | Of course not C# excels in Rapid Application Development |
19:44.13 | Mousey | in windows, yes |
19:44.22 | Mousey | (haha, like there's anything else!) |
19:44.24 | Templarian | Linux also I hear it's pretty quick there also. |
19:44.32 | gkatsev | gnome-do is written in mono |
19:44.39 | gkatsev | there are a lot of apps written in mono for linux |
19:44.39 | Mousey | and gnome-do is slow and buggy |
19:44.42 | Mousey | as is drapes |
19:44.42 | gkatsev | tomboy notes |
19:44.45 | Mousey | as is tomboy |
19:44.50 | Mousey | and bloated, too i might add |
19:45.01 | Mousey | they work, yah |
19:45.01 | gkatsev | Mousey: gnome-do isnt slow, at least not for me. |
19:45.43 | Templarian | A lot of newer applications will be written in mono, some embrace it others will be trampled by it as it becomes more integrated. |
19:45.50 | Mousey | i find gnome-do has limited usefulness to me.. mostly because i don't mistake the GUI for a commandline, quicksilver was useful because the mac has a BAD command line for everyday stuff.. |
19:46.00 | Templarian | It's like the people that stuck with Windows 2000 since they didn't like .NET. |
19:46.11 | Mousey | well |
19:46.18 | Mousey | the problem isn't .NET or even C# |
19:47.11 | Templarian | It's also nice to see Windows and Linux becoming one development enviroment. |
19:47.19 | Mousey | the problem really is that mono will only ever be BEHIND .NET, developmentally. and cultivated by a company that is HOSTILE towards linux. Therefore it'll always be a bad idea to try keeping up with the joneses.. as soon as MS does a major rewrite of the underpinnings, Mono is screwed |
19:48.04 | Templarian | Microsoft keeps their products in beta for a long time and Mono has company backing so. |
19:48.05 | Mousey | and don't mistake Mono/.NET as becomeing "one developement environment", mono is -just another- development enviornment, as far as linux is concerned.. |
19:48.32 | Mousey | company backing by Novell, a -company- microsoft is openly hostile towards |
19:48.36 | Mousey | you're not convincing me here |
19:50.04 | Templarian | Just be happy they can keep up and it doesn't turn into a OpenGL DirectX thing where OpenGL just basically gave up on a whole sector. |
19:50.15 | Mousey | right |
19:50.16 | Mousey | except sony |
19:50.27 | Mousey | who recently won over MS in the blu-ray vs hd-dvd debate |
19:50.43 | Mousey | i don't see DirectX on any PS3s |
19:50.51 | Templarian | That wasn't that big of a win, Sony has failed how many times in the format wars. |
19:51.05 | Mousey | right well, they're not known for their failures either.. |
19:51.08 | Mousey | PSP notwithstanding |
19:51.22 | Mousey | not that Sony is chock-fulla saint |
19:51.23 | Mousey | s |
19:51.36 | Mousey | i'm just saying, OpenGL is a loooong way from dead |
19:51.37 | Templarian | The PS3's achetecture gets mocked for being hard to develop on all the time. |
19:51.56 | gkatsev | beta max! |
19:52.06 | Mousey | how much of that is the proc, and sony's crappy tools, and how much of that is open gl? |
19:52.16 | Mousey | also, beta? are you kidding? Hollywood still loves nothing more |
19:52.22 | Templarian | Mousey: you brought Sony into it. |
19:52.35 | gkatsev | beta was technologically better than VHS. |
19:52.49 | Mousey | gkatsev: and Film Editors industry wide still agree |
19:53.09 | gkatsev | yeah, blame the porn industry |
19:53.15 | Mousey | Templarian: for the purposes of illustrating the wide use of OpenGL |
19:53.27 | gkatsev | which is also why bluray one. sony convinced the porn industry to use it |
19:53.33 | Mousey | hey, if the porn industry embraces a technology, it's probablyt good |
19:53.39 | Mousey | ^_^ |
19:53.39 | gkatsev | lol |
19:53.42 | Templarian | OpenGL is showing it's age compared to DX11 (plus PS3 has a habbit of having a TBD next to their games because of the development struggles). |
19:53.53 | Mousey | Templarian: good thing v3 came out |
19:53.59 | gkatsev | personally, i liked BD better just because each disc was 50gigs while HDDVD was like 15 |
19:54.49 | Templarian | Even looking at the IDE Tech 5 engine (which I think is the best engine graphically for OpenGL), it doesn't come close to DX11. |
19:54.56 | Mousey | Templarian: also, the strength DX has over OpenGL is that it's for exactly ONE platform.. much like Apple's strength is it's brand-centricness.. OpenGL is a standard, it has to be available for a wide variety of things.. so of course it'll be behind, but without it, we wouldn't have.. say.. the Pre |
19:54.59 | gkatsev | i remember discussing BDvsHDDVD in APCS in highschool like 3.5/4 years ago, when the fight was heating up, lol |
19:55.30 | Templarian | Mousey: DX is for the XBox and PC. Two huge Platforms. |
19:55.35 | Mousey | no |
19:55.39 | Mousey | it's for Microsoft. one platform |
19:55.51 | Mousey | that's like saying there's a difference between AppleTV and a MacBook |
19:55.52 | *** join/#webos-watercooler CTLAdvance-webos (n=wIRCer@72-61-227-25.pools.spcsdns.net) |
19:56.16 | Templarian | Two Platforms OS X and the one that failed. |
19:56.17 | gkatsev | Mousey: you mean appleTV & mac mini :D |
19:56.29 | Mousey | lol |
19:56.35 | Mousey | AppleTV runs boxee, it ain't all bad |
19:56.43 | Mousey | i wouldn't buy one |
19:56.45 | Mousey | but just sayin' |
19:56.53 | gkatsev | right, but you might as well just get a mac mini and hook it up |
19:57.03 | gkatsev | have you seen the dlink boxee box? |
19:57.08 | Templarian | You're not the only one. My friends a mac guy he replaced his with a HTPC shortly after. |
19:57.09 | Mousey | right, well i'll get a d-link boxee box, and pay less, too |
19:57.15 | Mousey | what gkatsev said |
19:57.18 | gkatsev | looks cool but utterly annoying cuz its not rectangular |
19:57.22 | Mousey | lo |
19:57.24 | Mousey | lol |
19:57.30 | Mousey | ah, a la the Mac Cube |
19:57.39 | Mousey | (aka, apple toaster) |
19:57.53 | Templarian | They need to make one of those btw. |
19:57.57 | gkatsev | no, the dlink boxee box is like a cube with a corner chopped off and it sits on that chopped off corner |
19:57.58 | Templarian | Really expand the brand. |
19:58.06 | Mousey | Templarian: nah, it'll only toast Apple Bread(tm) |
19:58.11 | gkatsev | its worse than the ps3 with the curved top |
19:58.22 | Templarian | Mousey: but it would put an apple logo on every peice. |
19:58.30 | Mousey | gkatsev: stack a lot of hardwares do ya? |
19:58.36 | Mousey | lol |
19:58.41 | Mousey | and it would only toast the logo |
19:58.52 | Templarian | wanders off to do a huge group project... first to find the group. |
19:59.00 | gkatsev | Mousey: lol. i dont actully have many things. no consoles |
19:59.14 | CTLAdvance-webos | An apple toast brander would sell like hotcakes based on the apple fanbase |
19:59.30 | Mousey | lol, yah.. and you'd have to pay extra if you wanted wheat bread |
19:59.52 | Mousey | Think Toast... |
20:00.01 | gkatsev | thinkgeek |
20:00.03 | Templarian | If I didn't already write my analytical paper on something else I should of done that and wrote it as sarcastic as possible. |
20:00.34 | CTLAdvance-webos | They could sell bread packs made by apple so you can't use your own |
20:00.39 | Templarian | beileves he might just freeze as the blizzard is starting to pick up around here. |
20:01.07 | Templarian | CTLAdvance-webos: That's implied (and written in the EULA you agree to). |
20:01.30 | CTLAdvance-webos | Ah yes, by opening this box you agree to... |
20:01.47 | Mousey | soccer moms, carted off to JAIL for use of UNAUTHORIZED BREAD |
20:01.50 | Mousey | sounds like zippy |
20:02.10 | Mousey | lunches |
20:02.23 | Templarian | Just to show I'm not totaly biased. Then microsoft would make one but third parties would make toast and a year later microsoft would block access to using said third party toast in a firmware upgrade that everyone saw coming 1 year ago. |
20:13.01 | CTLAdvance-webos | They could have a proprietary breadpod |
