00:00 <@Evilpig> you should read the latestone.
00:01 <@Evilpig> "suspect walked up to her and said, "give me your pocketbook or I will shoot you.".  the victim replied to the suspect, "are you serious?".  The suspect then chambered a round into his gun and pointed it at the victim"
00:01 <@Bahhumbug> rhia: Chicago thincrust or stuffed.
00:01 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) Let me guess.  They were running around at 11pm alone
00:02 <@Evilpig> getting into a car near terrace place
00:02 <@Evilpig> 20th and terrace
00:03 <@Evilpig> 9:45pm yesterday.
00:03 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) joy
00:03 <@Evilpig> which..  why is this notice so late in getting out?
00:03 <@Evilpig> isn't that the type of thing they should get out as close to immediately as humanly possible?
00:03 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) Probably had to clear it through PR
00:05 <@Evilpig> that's a case where public well being should come first
00:06 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) Actually I was being sarcastic
00:06 <@Evilpig> but you're probably right
00:06 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) It's more likely the person keying it in doesn't know how to use listserv
00:06 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) Pretty sure that's a managed list
00:06 <@Evilpig> look at almost every single one of them that is sent out.  nearly always a day or two later
00:07 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) You don't want to use the AR app ("Layar") I have near campus then
00:07 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) I was going to do a campus overlay of POIs
00:07 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) Then I looked at what the crime data says
00:07 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) I decided I would rather not have that blow up in MY face.
00:08 <@Evilpig> lol
00:10 <@Evilpig> that would be a neat app idea for some ar stuff.  be someplace like downtown nashville and have it show you the crime stats for hte area.  like you wander into a notoriously bad spot and your phone just goes red and says run
00:11 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) Well, a whole shitload of little burglar and fist icons do it just fine
00:22 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) I guess I did something to offend the livestock around here.
00:22 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) how so?
00:22 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) All this space and NO NOTHING
00:23 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) I gave four sheep wheat and they all combined made one baby
00:23 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) They'll proabbly spawn eventually
00:26 < MinecraftRelay> (evilDagmar) Good thing eggs can hatch chicks
01:09 <@Dagmar> greeeeat
01:09 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) wha?
01:09 <@Dagmar> Someone bumped my name on Google+
01:09 <@Dagmar> Let the fun begin
01:09 <@Dagmar> Everyone fuckin' calls me Dagmar
01:09 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) ?  like flagged it for not...  I thought they were done with that nonsense?
01:10 <@Dagmar> I thought they were, too
01:11 <@Dagmar> I have to appeal by December 15th
01:11 <@Dagmar> I'll fuckin' appeal right now
01:12 <@Dagmar> Nice that they don't say *how* to do this
01:20 <@Dagmar> They're seriously flirting with being faxed some underwear with my name written on the band
01:20 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) i'd pay to see that
01:20 <@Dagmar> Ill be doing it from the fax machine in the NOC
01:21 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) I think it would be far more effective to send them via ups with biohazard stickers on the package
01:21 <@Dagmar> I'm going to see if just throwing an old PN schedule at them will do
01:51 <@Dagmar> With any luck when someone realizes my name comes up "About 190,000 times" when you GOogle for it, and this will all blow over.
01:51 <@Dagmar> Sheesh
01:51 <@Dagmar> Otherwise, the underwear.
01:51 <@Dagmar> :)
01:51 <@Dagmar> If I'm still under this cloud tomorrow, I'll have to warm up my scanner.
01:51 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) melon farming is super easy.
01:57 <@Dagmar> I'll have to spelunk a bit more and find some seeds
01:58 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) i've got some in a chest here if you want them
01:58 <@Dagmar> https://www.dropbox.com/s/2qwj8eemxybpe3v#gallery:235 <-- considering doing some of these
01:58 <@Dagmar> Certainly water is easier to come by than iron for rails
02:00 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) i've still got alot of iron from that piston duping glitch
02:01 <@Dagmar> I scattered my stashes all over
02:01 <@Dagmar> Plus I had a crapload anyway from all the digging
02:01 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) same
02:02 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) and still some from that original death duplication bug too
02:04 < MinecraftRelay> (wilpig) soooo many sheep
02:20 <@Evilpig> UPDATE from KY Transportation Cabinet: Two cows have been found, four steers still missing.
02:20 <@Evilpig> lol

07:58 < aestetix> Dagmar: did you see my phreaknic talk about this?
07:58 < aestetix> I'm done with Google. I'm in the process of moving all my email over to my icelandic hosted mail server
08:00 <@Dagmar> Nah I missed it
08:00 < aestetix> hold on
08:00 < aestetix> I can link you, but if you want to skip an hour and a half, I actually made all my emails between Google support public
08:00 < aestetix> just to show you how fucked the system is
08:00 < aestetix> https://plus.google.com/115896012705745653160/posts/Kdg2nPzMB4M
08:01 <@Dagmar> Oh I'm actually already reading that
08:01 <@Dagmar> It comes up high in search rank
08:01 < aestetix> really
08:01 < aestetix> what search query?
08:02 < aestetix> I'm really, really, really pissed at how badly they treated Skud
08:06 <@Dagmar> I actually searched for "GMail Names policy" because I just woke up
08:06 <@Dagmar> You're like hit #6
08:06 <@Dagmar> I actually have a shitload of _non_ "Internet friends" who call me Dagmar.
08:07 <@Dagmar> But if they want to get snarky about it goddamnit, I'm perfectly willing to go with the legal definition of names by which I pretty much *can't* shake this name
08:07 < aestetix> Dagmar: this wouldn't be as big a problem if they weren't integrating all their services to this.
08:07 <@Dagmar> Exactly.
08:08 < aestetix> I can deal with getting suspended from G+. I haven't used it in a while now.
08:08 < aestetix> But gmail, youtube, etc.... wtf
08:08 <@Dagmar> This is _my_ name.  I have been using to mark my space in the inter-global namespace for about 20 years now.
08:08 <@Dagmar> I have no intention of letting anyone take it from me.
08:08 <@Dagmar> Someone trying to claim it as their own would be at risk of getting a midnight visit from the fire fairy
08:09 < aestetix> It almost seems like Google is trying to claim private property ownership of sorts over names
08:09 <@Evilpig> staples just opened.  guess I should run over there really fast and pick up this cardstock
08:09 <@Dagmar> That would be another way to get into trouble.  Serious trouble.  Thou Shalt Not Steal My Name.
08:09 < aestetix> So, here's an example I didn't cover during my talk
08:10 < aestetix> I know a lawyer who has been practicing law for about 40 years, and she's trans. She transitioned after she passed the bar.
08:10 <@Dagmar> Hm... a lawyer you say.
08:10 < aestetix> You do not even want to know the naming nightmare that causes.
08:10 <@Dagmar> That's got to be a bit risky for them
08:11 < aestetix> But yeah, Google's policy would not cover that.
08:12 <@Dagmar> Yeah so apparently someone had a midnight review or something.  I'm suspended now.
08:12 <@Dagmar> WTF is with that form.  They let you give them *URLs* and URLS only?
08:12 < aestetix> Yep.
08:12 < aestetix> Is the government issued ID element still optional?
08:13 <@Dagmar> It was listed as optional, but I'm not going to send it to them
08:13 < aestetix> Right.
08:13 <@Dagmar> In this state at least, the name I have been using for 20 years is just as fucking valid as the one on my birth certficiate
08:13 < aestetix> If it wasn't optional, they'd have a hell of a time with EFF.
08:13 < aestetix> Also, I have a friend who did send them his ID, and it wasn't enough. His account is still suspended.
08:13 <@Dagmar> Hell, I can say in a very real way that the local gov't knows EXACTLY who I am by this name.
08:14 <@Dagmar> If a single bloody thing stops working on my Xoom there will be hell to pay
08:15 < aestetix> Do you have a gmail?
08:16 < aestetix> Just wondering if gmail now has limited functionality

09:38 <@Dagmar> Gmail doesn't appear to have been affected.  I suspect they realize that would cause a problem for people who use Gmail as their primary email contact.
09:39 <@Dagmar> I just submitted them a _raft_ of URLs and managed to actually not flagrantly link an lmgtfy

09:40 <@Dagmar> ...and about four others.
09:40 <@Dagmar> If there's thousands of people installing stuff with root privs that I built, I'd say that all by itself is a seal of approval in some contexts.
09:40 <@Dagmar> The more irritating thing I find is that the ONLY means for appealing is handing them a list of URLs?  That's a bit mad.
09:42 <@Dagmar> What bugs me is that this name actually does fit the defintions they set forth
09:43 <@Dagmar> I have *many* people who have had no internet interaction with me at all who call me Dagmar.  Specifically: "Fuckin' everyone"
09:43 <@Dagmar> ...and apparnetly there's plenty of legal precedent for this as common law.
09:45 <@Corydon76-work> Yeah, it wasn't until you started showing up to meetings with your Vandy ID card appended that I knew your birth name
09:52 <@Corydon76-work> which brings up a point of... how hard did you try to get Vandy to issue an ID that said "Dagmar d'Surreal"?
09:59 <@Dagmar> Not, but I probably could.
09:59 <@Dagmar> It would just lead to confusion at the office.  Workplaces are the one place I don't bother trying.
09:59 <@Dagmar> Everyone here knows it's me
10:00 <@Dagmar> There's probably a few girls I've "been with" that didn't know my birth name
10:00 <@Dagmar> In the context of "me", it's largely irrelevant.
10:01 <@Dagmar> I keep thinking that surely somewhere in this is going to be a free-text field.
10:01 <@Dagmar> I'll see if this latest batch of emails convinces them.
10:01 <@Dagmar> s/emails/URLs/;
10:02 <@Dagmar> It's not like I've got any hyper-complex or legalese "explaining" to do.  I've been using this name and no other everywhere it's been reasonably possible for about 20 years now and I've no intention of changing that.
10:02 <@Dagmar> That actually does make it's presence older than most of Google's employees, and definitely older than Google itself.
10:03 <@Dagmar> Fuck, this was the name I was using on alt.whateverthefuck.hypertext during the invention of the fucking WWW.
10:04 <@Corydon76-work> You mean Usenet?
10:05 <@Corydon76-work> I think I might have been known on there as "that fucking dickhead who keeps cancelling my posts"
10:07 <@Dagmar> Yes, Usenet.
10:08 <@Dagmar> It's just luck that at the time I was researching hypertext because I was writing some documentation with that in mind and was looking for a reasonably open mechanism for it, having found the few DOS-based programs out there that did that to be remarkably limited and entirely incompatible with one-another.
10:09 <@Corydon76-work> (On my side, that guy shouldn't have been crossposting his heavy metal rants to a newsgroup that had nothing to do with heavy metal.)

10:57 < the_hugme> It amazes me that checkpoint has built a licensing/pricing scheme so complex they can't figure it out themselves....
10:58 < the_hugme> I've talked to 4 checkpoint engineers now, I have 8 different licenses they have sent me I've installed on my firewall and it's still not the correct one for turning on the sslvpn

11:43 <@Dagmar> aestetix: I have high hopes that they'll restore my Google+ profile, because I actually *am* following the policies they state.  I do think it's not very helpful that the entire process is still quite opaque.
11:43 <@Dagmar> What they need is a way for a "shared secret" of sorts to be stored.
11:44 <@Dagmar> If there wasn't a chance currently that some jackass would force a change of names to what's on my driver's licence, I'd just fax them a copy of it and tell them "Make a note of this."
11:46 <@Dagmar> That would eliminate the problem I think they're trying to avoid where someone using a name other than what's on their state-issued identification has someone else claiming it's their account.
11:58 <@Dagmar> 16x however many slots
11:58 <@Dagmar> wrong chan
12:11 <@Dagmar> So... Twitter, LiveJournal, Wowpedia, Dropline Wiki, Facebook, and even Slashdot all now have little entries from me saying hello to Google+.

14:42 <@Bahhumbug> this whole "google needs to be everything to everyone" crap really needs to stop.
14:46 <@Dagmar> I prefer it over Facebook
14:46 <@brimstone> i'm not particularly wild about either one
14:46 <@Catonic> rather amazed to see that I have three PN7 water bottles.
14:47 <@Dagmar> I'm not wild about being turned into a commodity product by Facebook.
14:47 <@Catonic> there's also that Greater Internet Fuckwad theory as well...
14:47 <@Catonic> whereas on G+, I can talk politics and exclude the people that I don't want to share things with, on FB, you get all of me, obscenities and all.
14:48 <@Catonic> otoh, when you have people who have more than one hobby or thing, you find yourself categorizing because of SOMEONE ELSE'S desires, not your own.
14:48 <@brimstone> i just don't want to be a commodity
14:48 <@Catonic> I do.
14:48 <@Catonic> =P
14:48 <@Catonic> Buy my fine product. As soon as I figure out what it is
14:49 <@Catonic> brimstone: how's A company treating you?
14:49 <@brimstone> pretty good
14:50 <@Catonic> I figured. I've heard a lot of good out of them over the years, and very little bad.
14:51 <@Catonic> It's hard to have growth in a company like "D" when it's busy expanding and so little opportunities for vertical growth due to emerging markets, etc.
14:54 <@Catonic> business is an incredible mishmash
14:54 <@Catonic> "G" companies have so many smart people.. who know about one thing: organizing information and long projects.
14:54 <@Catonic> but G companies have people who haven't seen anything new because it's all been thought of

15:11 <@brimstone> nachoguy_: yes

15:21 <@Dagmar> ...cuz I'm not kidding about the underwear thing.
15:21 <@Dagmar> Mainly what irks me is the lack of any meaningful feedback.
15:21 <@Dagmar> They suspended the account without the four-day period, and I have recieved zero emails about it.
15:22 <@Dagmar> All I got was a "there's a problem with your Google+ profile" email, and that's it.
15:22 <@Dagmar> That was sent while it was still "under review"
15:23 <@Dagmar> If, as I have seen told, a Facebook account with the same name will do it, I should get un-suspended.
15:34 <@Dagmar> aestetix: What's this #sink thing in BOston about?
15:34 < aestetix> no idea
15:36 <@Dagmar> I can't even guess at it based on what's been said o nTwitter
15:38 <@Dagmar> Hmm... Apparently on Dec 1 the police seized some kind of experimental sink designed by MIT students
15:39 <@Dagmar> Oh... they did this in direct opposition to a court order against the seizure of personal property even.
15:40 <@Dagmar> More of hte usual "we'll take all their stuff" nonsense.
15:40 <@Dagmar> How is this shit _not_ terrorism?
15:43 <@Bahhumbug> It's Amerika.
15:43 <@Bahhumbug> Sucks, doesn't it?
15:45 <@Dagmar> It's definitely not America
16:02 <@Bahhumbug> No, it's not.  It is, however, Amerika.
16:02 <@Bahhumbug> And I really don't see things improving much in the near-term future.

17:07 <@Dagmar> ...although there was a court order forbidding them from doing that sort of thing
17:08 <@Dagmar> aestetix: Someone's probably going to get reamed for disabling that account entirely rather than helping them transition
17:47 < rangerz> Dagmar: from what i hear, probably not
17:47 < rangerz> Google has 1 major flaw: customer support
17:47 < rangerz> even those in the company admit this
17:49 <@Bahhumbug> Yeah, well..  _fix_ _it_.
17:49 <@Bahhumbug> It's not rocket science to realize crapping on your users is not the right way to go.
17:50 < rangerz> i agree
17:55 < rangerz> woah.... http://www.youhavedownloaded.com/# the captcha on here is like 15+ characters
17:56 < rangerz> 26* to be precise
17:56 <@Bahhumbug> that site's useless.
17:57 < rangerz> yeah
17:58 < rangerz> b/c it said i downloaded nirvana CD in november
17:59 <@Bahhumbug> and it was actually October?
17:59 <@Bahhumbug> :)
17:59 < rangerz> i don't have wireless even, and no , i never download music
17:59 < rangerz> i just use grooveshark, lol
18:11 < aestetix> man
18:12 < aestetix> is there any decent way to do a partial text index in mysql?
18:16 <@brimstone> did someone else have your ip in november rangerz?
18:18 <@brimstone> wow, that was all open yesterday
18:21 < rangerz> i don't know
18:22 < rangerz> i don't really keep track, just have regular residential cable
18:32 <@Dagmar> yeah I think the Slashdotting encouraged them to put something up to lower their load before their colo host called it quits on them
18:33 <@Dagmar> Amazon's about hte only place you can host that's not going to scream at you about going from 1,000 hits a day to half a million per hour
18:33 <@Dagmar> ...and even then they're probably going to be a little tense.
18:51 < eryc> the term slashdotting has been retired
18:51 <@brimstone> eryc: it's ok, he's old

18:54 <@Dagmar> They got _Slashdotted_ you jackass
18:54 <@Dagmar> pffft
18:55 <@Dagmar> FFS.
18:55 <@Dagmar> I Know what will get NetFlix's stock out of the crapper.
18:56 <@Dagmar> How about they actually let you _know what they have available to watch_ without making you create an account
18:57 < eryc> touche

18:57 < eryc> still, slashdot is pretty horrid these days
18:58 <@Dagmar> Oh wait!  THey've added a tiny little text link
18:58 <@Dagmar> Bah... which tells me that I'd be better off going down to the RedBox kiosk.  FAIL
18:58 <@Dagmar> Fucking madness\
19:00 <@Dagmar> Jesus.  Does anyone here have netflix?
19:00 <@Dagmar> Their damn website apparently doesn't say shit about what's available for viewing online
19:00 <@Dagmar> I'm looking at the entry for Primer, and I *know* it's available online because that's how I first saw it.  All it says is "Available on stupid DVD"
19:00 <@Dagmar> s/stupid//
19:05 <@Dagmar> NOW I know another reason tehy're failing
19:05 <@Dagmar> Their website is lagged as fuck
19:07 <@Dagmar> I wouldn't be the least bit suprised to find out the MPAA has been buying time on a Russian DDoS farm to hassle their site
19:07 <@Bahhumbug> I don't see why.  They pay the fees to broadcast and ship and in-house duplicate.
19:07 <@Dagmar> Doesn't matter.
19:08 <@Dagmar> Monopolists do not tolerate new entrants into their markets
19:08 <@Dagmar> ...and the MPAA gets their money from Netflix in advance anyway
19:09 <@Dagmar> All they have to do is wait for Netflix to fail, for one reason or another, and then hit up the _next_ player to try that market for the higher fees Netflix wouldn't pay

19:17 < vyrus001> anybody have issues with burp repeater just truncating the end of req's send from repeater for no reason?!
19:33 <@Bahhumbug> Dagmar: I 'spose so, yeah.
19:37 <@Dagmar> I ain't real impressed with their online selection
19:37 <@Dagmar> They have two of the Terry Pratchett movies
19:38 <@Dagmar> I think I might buy The Hogfather for my parents for Christmas
19:40 <@Bahhumbug> They've got most of what we want to see.
19:40 <@Dagmar> They've at least got a _little_ taste.  They have The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (the original one, not the new one)
19:40 <@Bahhumbug> We're happy enough with 'em.
19:40 <@Dagmar> I count maybe 6-7 SciFi movies i'd like to see that they have
19:41 <@Evilpig> Dagmar: mirage has it, and if you call here to vandy hit the operators and ask for jason
19:43 <@Dagmar> Well, I just signed up for their trial, which I don't really see surviving to teh end of the month
19:44 <@Dagmar> ...not when I can just go stop by Redbox on the way home
19:44 < rangerz> streaming on netflix was good
19:45 < rangerz> but they are losing all their newer movies
19:45 < rangerz> MPAA just can't accept the fact that I'm not going to spend 30$ for a blu ray dvd
19:46 <@Evilpig> rangerz: i've already said that the theater should just charge ~$20 for a ticket and give you the dvd ont he way out
19:47 < rangerz> or, sell the dvds after the movie
19:48 < rangerz> the "windows" now a days just piss me off
19:48 < rangerz> kevin smith did something similar with his new movie
19:48 < rangerz> he had interactive Q&A after his film where you could ask him questions if you were in the theatre
19:49 <@Evilpig> he does stuff like that often though.  and smaller releases you can do that.  these larger releases should sell the dvd with the ticket or give you a $10 ticket option or a $25 ticket option with the dvd
19:50 <@Evilpig> or have the option to buy the dvd at the theater instead of seeing it there, even
19:50 <@Dagmar> Well, tehy sort of have that to a limited degree.
19:50 <@Dagmar> The vending machines are before you get to the ropes
19:50 <@Dagmar> The selection is just kinda crap
19:51 <@Evilpig> I didn't see any vending machines at any of the theaters at hickory hollow, 100 oaks, or opry mills
19:53 <@Dagmar> I wonder if they took them out
19:53 <@Dagmar> They used to have one on each side of the place at Gaudywood 27
19:53 <@Dagmar> Plus a few more back in the hallways
19:53 <@Evilpig> I was just there the other day and didn't see any
19:53 <@Dagmar> Sad
20:30 <@Evilpig> Huzzah!
20:31 <@Evilpig> with a combination of powershell script and batch file my portable apps autostarts again!
20:37 <@Evilpig> this is interesting.
20:37 <@Evilpig> for /f "tokens=1,*" %%i in ('fsutil fsinfo drives') do (
20:37 <@Evilpig>   for %%d in (%%j) do (
20:37 <@Evilpig>     if exist %%dStartPortableApps.exe (
20:37 <@Evilpig>       %%dStartPortableApps.exe
20:37 <@Evilpig>     )
20:37 <@Evilpig>   )
20:37 <@Evilpig> )
20:38 <@Evilpig> that will find all the drive letters of a machine, then check each one for the portableapps executable, then if it finds it it will start it
20:38 <@Bahhumbug> that just made me throw up a little in my mouth
20:38 <@Evilpig> do what you have to in windows
20:39 <@Bahhumbug> bash :)
20:39 <@Bahhumbug> but yeah, you've got a point.
20:39 <@Evilpig> win7 doesn't support autorun for thumbdrives anymore.  this is my workaround and it works
20:40 <@Evilpig> there is a powershell script running in the background watching for drives to be mounted.  when it detects that it runs that script which is on the root of the thumbdrive
20:40 <@Evilpig> all to keep me from clicking an icon
20:46 <@Bahhumbug> clicking is hard.
