01:00 <@sasquatc4> holy crap no wonder people dont want to download movies legally, theres a coupon for a free download of terminator salvation from the wb shop, gotta sign up for 2 accounts, and in the time it took to preload part of the movie for viewing i probably coulda downloaded at least half of a divx rip with 5.1
01:03 <@sasquatc4> and after 10 years of tryin to do this they still havent figured out how to encode a damn movie properly, that thing looks like shit on a 15in laptop screen, hate to imagine a tv

01:29 <@Corydon76-dig> sasquatc4: the problem is that they want to be preemptive about copying, instead of worrying about tracking after the fact.  Encoding a high quality format for download and watermarking it with an ID that uniquely identifies each download would serve them better in the long run
01:29 <@sasquatc4> yup
01:29 <@Corydon76-dig> Nobody is going to reencode to remove a watermark and chance reducing the quality
01:30 <@Corydon76-dig> Hell, if they don't even know it's there, they aren't likely to look for one, either
01:30 <@sasquatc4> yea, but when you can get an r5 copy from asia thats dvd quality a few months before the usa, it doesnt matter much, let alone early blu-rays
01:32 <@Corydon76-dig> Therein lies the problem.  They need to make downloads higher quality than DVD rips, if they expect people to buy
01:33 <@sasquatc4> definitely, its hard to beat free, especially when the product isnt even of comparable quality, free and quality is hard to beat over pay and shitty
01:33 <@Corydon76-dig> Watermark to track, then prosecute watermarked copies that end up in the pirate channels
01:33 <@sasquatc4> they do sorta shoot themselves in the foot with the russian and r5 releases tho
01:34 <@Corydon76-dig> Heh
01:34 <@sasquatc4> by trying to recoup some costs in high piracy countries they basically release a dvd quality copy of the movie out to the world a few months before the usa release
01:34 <@Corydon76-dig> Why release in high piracy countries at all?  That makes little sense.
01:35 <@Corydon76-dig> Seems like a secondary market, if anything.
01:35 <@sasquatc4> no clue, actually had to check, its for russia, india, and africa, not even asia
02:00 <@Dagmar> THey know piracy isn't their problem.
02:01 <@Dagmar> They know that their own _pricing_, which they refuse to do anything about, is the problem
02:03 <@Dagmar> ...although with the asia-pac conversion rates as they are, they've just fucked
02:04 <@Dagmar> Goddamnit
02:04 <@Dagmar> Weather says it's oging to be too cold for me to ride tomorrow night
02:06 <@Dagmar> I guess that gives me plenty of extra time to worry about that 5a 5x20mm fuse

17:56 <@Dagmar> Crash: Yeah I think that's one I'd have to hide  GPS beacon in because THAT would get fuckin' stolen
17:57 <@CRasH180> For sure. Every time I see that scooter for some reason I keep thinking of the scene in Pee Wee's Playhouse where his bicycle is stolen and he goes wandering the streets looking for it
17:58 <@Dagmar> yeah a dramatically different sort of scene will play out for me
17:58 <@Dagmar> Something more along the lines of 'Falling Down'.
17:58 <@CRasH180> lol, I can imagine
17:58 <@CRasH180> Yeah. I was thinking along the same lines for you as well
17:59 <@Dagmar> "Damnit, now you guys have made me go and spill all thise gasoline everywhere."
17:59 <@Dagmar> You steal my space bike, I burn your shit to the ground.
17:59 <@Dagmar> Them's the rules.
18:01 <@Dagmar> w00t!  Got the NEC prototype tablet working again
18:01 <@Dagmar> Looks like ESD scrambled the CMOS.
18:01 <@Dagmar> DOesn't help that I had to open the fuckin' thing to even see there was a SMT pushbutton to reset it

20:17 <@Dagmar> Oh dear
20:17 <@Dagmar> This bloke they're interviewing on the weather channel who is a senior meterologist on freaking Mt. Washington... Somehow since the place is a frozen hell, I don't think his problem is allergies

20:52 <@sdodson> Dagmar: what number?
21:32 < ware> For instance: throughout all of my time in elementary school there
21:32 < ware> was this one kid who would go to the bathroom so he could poop. But
21:32 < ware> he had a phobia of water splashing up his crack or something like
21:32 < ware> that. I say this because he would go into the stall, take down his
21:32 < ware> pants, and while still standing, proceed to shit on the floor right
21:32 < ware> in front of the toilet. It was weird when you would go to the
21:32 < ware> bathroom and you would see a burgundy loaf on the floor of the
21:33 < ware> bathroom. And it was always in the same bathroom.
