06:55 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:59 < Evilpig_> fuck ie.  fuck it in its fucking ass
07:01 <@Dolemite> Yeah, pretty much
07:01 <@Dolemite> So what the hell was up with that comment from dirtyharrycallahan?
07:02 <@Dolemite> Evilpig_: Did you check out those web sites I sent you links to?
07:03 < Evilpig_> I think he's wanting me to make some crazy commits and stuff like "killthechildren" should instead be abortion
07:03 < Evilpig_> uhhhh yes.
07:03 < Evilpig_> I didn't see the overall similarity.  I was amused that we were listed as a comparison and we do have some of the features they claimed we didn't
07:03 <@Dolemite> Yeah, for drackula
07:04  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:04 <@Dolemite> I thought we were less similar to that than device42
07:04  * Dolemite farts on aestetix
07:04 < Evilpig_> the device42 I didn't want to sign up to browse.
07:04 < aestetix> What is this new cologne you have
07:04 <@Dolemite> Evilpig_:  I found a screenshot page for it somewhere
07:04 < Evilpig_> I didn't dig that much.
07:05 <@Dolemite> Evilpig_: How full is the speaker schedule for PN?  There's a guy in the NCCS group that indicated an interest in speaking next year, and I told him there's no time like the present.
07:05 < Evilpig_> just for future reference.  window.popup.load() <-- works in FF, Chrome, etc but not IE
07:05 <@Dolemite> He's apparently involved with B-Sides.
07:05 < Evilpig_> I would love to have him
07:06 < Evilpig_> I haven't heard much on speakers since I gave the list to jonnyx
07:06 <@Dolemite> Ah, ok, I'll see if I can talk him into doing it this year
07:06 <@Dolemite> Of course, his schedule may not allow it, but we'll see
07:14 <@Dolemite> Not bad.  L8 Reso [x4] and L8 Burster [x4] in one hack.
07:14 <@Dolemite> Any Ingress players notice an extreme decline in the amount of keys given out in hacks since 1.33.0 went live?
07:20 < Evilpig_> yes
07:20 < Evilpig_> but we have also found how to get them when you want extras too
07:21 < Evilpig_> goto a deviceview and click the print button at the bottom.  does NOT work in IE.  fuck IE.
07:21 < Evilpig_> I spent probably 4 hours last night trying every work around I could think of for that.  I was ready to destroy things from the rage it built
07:25 <@Dolemite> So do you agree with my fix for the rights management when running in non-interactive mode?
07:25 < Evilpig_> the cli thing.  works for me
07:26 < Evilpig_> I shortened your sql too
07:27 <@Dolemite> I haven't finished it all up.  I'm still writing in easy to understand and debug mode.
07:28 < Evilpig_> the only thing different in those two statements was the one term. so cut out the excess and put the if on that term
07:28 < Evilpig_> very minor 
07:28 <@Dolemite> Ugh.  IE isn't wanting to pull up my DCIM test or production site - it won't even prompt for the user/password.  Chrome is working on it just fine.
07:29 <@Dolemite> Apparently the GPO monkeys have been at it overnight.
07:29 < Evilpig_> chrome was giving me fits with shit last night.  but now it's time to go home.  later
07:29 <@Dolemite> There it goes finally
07:30 <@Dolemite> I have no 'Print' view at the bottom
07:30 < Evilpig_> only on device view and only in chrome and FF
07:30 < Evilpig_> it's a JS button addition
07:30 < Evilpig_> i'll be back in 30.  headed home
07:30 <@Dolemite> I see
07:31 < aestetix> Time to get naked, fart a few times, and slip into bed
07:35 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o critch] by ChanServ
08:09 <@Dolemite> Evilpig_: You back on yet?
08:27 < Evilpig_> yes
08:27 < Evilpig_> I saw the email about IE
08:28 < Evilpig_> I loathe IE.  it's acting like the function isn't even getting called but no errors on the script console.  Might as well rewrite it using jquery.  it'll be fairly quick, I think.  just not thinking clearly enough right now to do it
08:28 <@Dolemite> Well I was mainly asking because of the admin issue, but I found the error, fixed it, and committed
08:29 <@Dolemite> But yeah, if you can fix that one thing in IE it will help, because all of the conference room PCs around here have IE only, so whenever I'm showing something from DCIM in a meeting, it looks horrible.
08:30 <@Dolemite> Oh, and did you see my comment about needing to set a % threshold for inclusion in the network capacity report?
08:30 < Evilpig_> I see the admin fix.  weird.  wonder when that got changed
08:30 < Evilpig_> yeah.  I was otherwise consumed last night and didn't get around to doing it.  thinking about using sliders.  cause sliders are cool
08:31 < Evilpig_> you need a bigger monitor then. cause the wide view looks better, imo
08:32 < Evilpig_> you ever find the print button?
08:32 <@Dolemite> I'm adding in a basic number on the NetworkThreshold config item right now, using your SpaceCritical as a template.  You can change them all to sliders later if you want.
08:32 <@Dolemite> Yep, I found the print button in Chrome.  Nice addition.
08:33 < Evilpig_> I wish I could make it work in IE though.  that really pissed me off
08:33 < Evilpig_> I have other ways to make it happen but I was trying to be code friendly and just use the info available and just slice and dice it up a bit.
08:34 < Evilpig_> ... fuck me.  why didn't I think of that before.  i'm being retarded.  I have a better way, I think. i'll try it later when I wake up.  it'll be IE friendly too maybe.
08:35 < Evilpig_> okay attempting that sleep thing now.  stupid mongo didn't show up again last night

11:00 <@Dagmar> They're certainly going to be appealing that
11:10 <@rattle> He got a fair trial.  He'll be eligible for parole in ten years.
11:11 <@rattle> He was responsible for one of the largest security breaches in history.  He's paying for it.

11:11 <@rattle> That's the other side of being a martyr.
11:11 <@Dagmar> Let me ask you... Was it even possible to leak that much data 15 years ago?
11:12 < strages> long time folks
11:12 <@Dagmar> Whether or not it was the "largest" breach is something that's a function of technology--not what his intent was
11:12 <@Dagmar> There have surely been more _damaaging_ leaks with far less data involved
11:12 < strages> are those involved with phreaknic aware of the mini maker faire happening the 21st in Nashville?
11:13 < strages> http://www.makerfairenashville.com/
11:13 <@Dagmar> Man... fuck these people
11:14 <@rattle> I see a big difference between selectively leaking information in the public interest, and disseminating entire databases.  One of the reasons he's so fucked, is he was indiscriminate about what he released.
11:14 <@rattle> The dude set back government transparency ten years.
11:14 <@Dagmar> I got a request yesterday about adding a fileshare to the bloody streaming media server and I've got people hitting me with email after email about whether or not it's ready
11:15 <@rattle> There are a few layers of irony to it as well..  If you look at the political goals of wikileaks and whatnot, the Manning leaks have actually done more to give the last word on which foreign officials are shady to US officials than anyone else.
11:15 <@Dagmar> I'm sorry but when you perpetually understaff a department, some shit is going to take some *time* to sort out when it's former SME is no longer here
11:15 <@rattle> Do a Lexis search or two on references to the leaked cables..  It's not exactly what these folks intended.

11:16 <@Dagmar> UN-POSSIBLE.
11:17 <@rattle> If this was just able selective leaks..  Like the Apache attack that killed the Reuters folks..  I might be a Manning supporter.

11:17 <@Dagmar> Most of what I saw just let us know we've got a bunch of shallow frat boys involved in diplomacy
11:17 <@Dagmar> Not exactly new or world-shattering
11:18 <@Dagmar> Who would have ever suspected diplomats to be gossip hounds
11:20 <@rattle> If you want something to be outraged about regarding this, I think Decius just pointed out a good one.
11:21 <@rattle> Charles Graner and Lindie England got lesser sentences than Manning just got.  Why do we consider torture to be a lesser crime than this?  Why are those people currently not locked up?
11:49 <@Dagmar> Yes, this is why I figure they'll be appealing.
11:49 <@Dagmar> They've sentenced based on "butt-hurt-ness" rather than the seriousness or the amount of damage caused.
11:49 <@Corydon76-work> Dagmar: it's automatically appealed
11:49 <@Corydon76-work> He's eligible for parole in just under 13 years, though
11:50 <@Dagmar> Considering how long he's been in solitary confinement already that still seems an excessive amount of time
11:50 <@Dagmar> He's probably looking at five to ten years of therapy over that
11:52 <@Dagmar> These guys are killing me... Getting all worked up because they can't launch a new mount point for the helix crap already
11:53 <@Dagmar> I've never seen this shit before and there's a lot of reading to do and they're wibbling on about whether or not the contentmarker to prevent downloading is set
11:53 <@Dagmar> Newsflash: Any realmedia can be fuckin' downloaded
11:54 <@Dagmar> The only thing this marker does is prevent the popup (that presently doesn't work on most browsers) from offering to download the content, if the user is even using RealPlayer
11:54 <@Corydon76-work> Dagmar:  that assumes that it's using TCP and all packets are delivered.  A lossy transmission is difficult to record effectively
11:54 -!- r3dl0c [~r3dl0c@portal.ci.collierville.tn.us] has joined #se2600
11:54 <@Dagmar> If it plays it can be recorded pretty easily
11:54 <@Dagmar> I've got some third party thing in Firefox that "just does it"
11:55 <@Dagmar> Took all of five minutes to find.
11:55 <@Corydon76-work> You're thinking either about screen capture or about a stream where all the packets are captured
11:55 <@Dagmar> I use it to archive things off YouTube on a semi regular basis.  It's never taken more than about a half hour to work out what mechanism to use when the previous one broke
11:56 <@Corydon76-work> Any streaming protocol is designed to compensate when packets are dropped, which means things are viewable, even if not all the packets are delivered.
11:56 <@Dagmar> No, I am not talking about a screencap mechanism.
11:56 <@Corydon76-work> Yes, but Youtube uses TCP to stream the transmission, which is emphatically not a real time protocol
11:56 <@Dagmar> ...and you're arguing about some case which does not exists here.
11:57 <@Corydon76-work> So you're receiving all the packets... which is one of the alternatives I talked about
11:57 <@Dagmar> So why are you even talking about them?
11:58 <@Corydon76-work> You said any RealMedia content can be captured, which is not the case when any packets of the content are dropped
11:58 <@Dagmar> So you feel the need to state that packets which never arrive are problematic to record?
11:58 <@Corydon76-work> Because it affects the ability to effectively save the resulting file, yes
11:59 <@Dagmar> ...and what does that have to do with this case?
11:59 <@Corydon76-work> Essentially, the download would have "holes" which would make most software choke when attempting playback
12:00 <@Dagmar> ...and what does that have to do with this case?
12:00 <@Corydon76-work> You made a generalization which is untrue.
12:01 <@Dagmar> No, I did not make a generalization of any kind.
12:01 <@Corydon76-work> I'm simply pointing out an exception
12:01 <@Corydon76-work> <Dagmar> Newsflash: Any realmedia can be fuckin' downloaded
12:01 <@Dagmar> I stated flat out that this particular flag they're asking me to set is only paid any mind by Realplayer.
12:02 <@Dagmar> This lost packets thing you're talking about hasn't been a significant impediment in the past, either.
12:04 <@Dagmar> The worst I've seen has been media files that caused the same problems for players that occurred during playback of the live stream
12:04 <@Dagmar> ...which should come as a suprise to exactly no one.

20:09 <@Shadow404> i want capatilization and shit
20:10 <@Shadow404> Evilpig_: wake!!!! you sexy beast, i need your help
20:15 < aestetix> no no no no no
20:15 < aestetix> http://t.co/0P0AlZHWeZ
20:15 < aestetix> it's like there is this unending stream of idiots trying the same shit over and over

20:16 < Evilpig_> Shadow404: i'm awake just watching a movie
20:25 <@Dagmar> aestetix: Follow the money
20:26 <@Dagmar> Ask yourself, "Who is already engaged in unethical behaviour with respect to identity, and will stand to profit from this change?"
20:27 < RangerZ1> can't have "anonymous" reporting from whistleblower
20:28 <@Dagmar> That's not it
20:28 <@Dagmar> One person needing to leak something can always make one bogus profile.
20:28 <@Dagmar> However, there's a group of people who have already beat the system who stand to gain from this change.
20:28 <@Dagmar> Shills.
20:29 <@Dagmar> Companies that run large numbers of fake users who never post anonymously, and have carefully crafted identities
20:29 <@Dagmar> It would be trivial for them to create a large number of "sociopath, troll" identities and troll anonymously
20:30 <@Dagmar> ...and the result would be that their fake users would be considerably more valuable on the forums that eliminate anonymity
20:46 < aestetix> Dagmar: that's where accountability comes into play
20:47 < aestetix> So by "run" do you mean it's scripted, or they employ individuals to do this
20:47 < aestetix> And don't we have things like captchas that can mitigate it?
20:48 < RangerZ1> aestetix: both
20:48 < RangerZ1> friend of mine used to 'sell' sex video clips
20:48 < RangerZ1> online
20:48 < RangerZ1> via doing basically that, so they hire people and pay them commision on each 'sale' they get
20:49 < RangerZ1> commission*, and she would make accounts, and lots of other things
20:50 < aestetix> heh
20:50 < RangerZ1> look at the '1 instagram follower is worth more than a stolen credit card' story that was just flying around
20:50 < aestetix> Did the sale involve money?
20:50 < aestetix> The thing is, we have laws about financial transactions.
20:50 < RangerZ1> http://blogs.computerworld.com/cybercrime-and-hacking/22675/tweaked-zeus-fake-instagram-likes-are-worth-more-stolen-credit-card-numbers
20:50 < GateKeeper> Title: Tweaked Zeus: Fake Instagram likes are worth more $ than stolen credit card numbers | Computerworld Blogs (at blogs.computerworld.com)
20:51 < RangerZ1> yeah... b/c laws about money are ALWAYS followed, lol
20:52 < RangerZ1> look at any science fiction dystopia and the corporations are what bring back paper money
20:52 < RangerZ1> because they want a 'slush fund' available to hire/pay for things they don't want traced back to them
20:53 < RangerZ1> and if you use a middleman from a 'marketing firm' , who takes their cut... no trail back, lol
20:54 < RangerZ1> same thing about online , hell look at "slashertisement"
20:55 < RangerZ1> or DIGG.com, I used to love it when it first came out, but it got cooped quickly by a clique , who all had a ton of followers, (many bots) who would 'up' whatever they posted
20:55 < RangerZ1> thats probably the closest example of how its useful

21:24 < aestetix> ugh
21:25 < aestetix> that was a fun hour long battle with stunnel
21:25 < Evilpig_> aestetix: shhhhh, no go fix me a pizza
21:25 < aestetix> no
21:25 < Evilpig_> not a request.
21:28 <@Dagmar> Wow.
21:28 <@Dagmar> Fuckin' Comcast
21:29 < aestetix> Evilpig_: you're supposed to say "sudo"
21:30 <@Dagmar> aestetix: THere are a couple of firms running around that had their internal pimp sheets leaked.  They have software that lets one employee manage 50-100 bogus identities, complete with reasonably complete interest profiles, all at once
21:30 <@Dagmar> They use these things to astroturf
21:30 <@Dagmar> These are the people who stand to gain the most by forcing the blocking of anonymous postings
21:31 <@Dagmar> These are also the people who are most likely to be claiming everyone should have to use their real names
21:31 <@Dagmar> ...because they've already worked out how to beat that.
21:32 <@Dagmar> Also, GREAT HAPPY DAY!
21:33 <@Dagmar> Kroger's had Full Throttle at 10/$10
21:33 <@Dagmar> I got me a SHITLOAD of the things in the fridge
21:35 < RangerZ1> hell... look at the tea party
21:35 < RangerZ1> its was almost entirely a astroturf project for the first year or so
21:35 < RangerZ1> then ran away from the conservatives once they had used it, and its ripping apart the gop, lol
21:36 < aestetix> Dagmar: so uh
21:36 < aestetix> Dagmar: wtf
21:37 <@Dagmar> huh?
21:37 <@Dagmar> If you want I'll start just telling you my predictions for the future when they occur to me
21:37 < aestetix> So basically, there are companies that flood commentspace with crap, and then turn around and advocate for names policies
21:37 < aestetix> Are these pimp sheets online anywhere?
21:37 <@Dagmar> aestetix: Yes, because then they can charge more for astroturfing those sites
21:37 < aestetix> It seems like there are ways to solve those issues that don't involve forcing names policies :)
21:38 <@Dagmar> Dig around.. These guys are good at SEO so you'll have a devil of a time finding the deets but it's been out there before on Full Disclosure and so on
21:38 < aestetix> Ah ok
21:38 <@Dagmar> aestetix: One of the onerous/nicer things about grey area companies is that they're pretty fuckin' predictably competitive
21:39 < aestetix> I could totally see a company trying to get their software pushed out doing that
21:39 <@Dagmar> aestetix: I did mention I took out a few goldfarming companies by giving them all a copy of a program deigned to flood a competitor with fake orders, right?
21:39 < aestetix> But yeah, a single solid example of that would be amazing
21:39 <@Dagmar> They're like monkeys

21:40 <@Dagmar> There's one
21:40 < aestetix> interesting
21:40 <@Dagmar> Check new news around spring of 2011 and you'll find more
21:41 <@Dagmar> For awhile I was trying to bookmark all these things and then it became obvious that what we really need is a distributed system for tagging and archiving and timelining skullduggery
21:41 <@Dagmar> Getting all the pieces in the same place at the same time is the actual hard part
21:41  * aestetix nods
21:41 < aestetix> well there is always project xanadu :p
21:43 <@Dagmar> I'd wager Doctorow probably posted a few things about those companies on BB
21:45 < aestetix> Hmm, this goes back into the HBGary stuff
21:46 <@Dagmar> Yes, it does.
21:46 <@Dagmar> A whole lot of missing ethics, all in one area
21:46 <@Dagmar> ...which really pisses me off because talking about it makes anyone sound like a conspiracy nut
21:47 <@Dagmar> Honestly, there might as well be an actual Wolfram & Hart out there

22:01 < RangerZ1> so Dagmar i realized i got saints row 3 for free from playstation plus
22:04 <@Dagmar> Cool
22:04 <@Dagmar> I have it on Steam
22:04 <@Dagmar> ...so I got 10% off SRIV
22:05 <@Dagmar> I just sort of stumbled across the way to get the gun
22:05 <@Dagmar> I am a hamster for quests.  Give me a quest, and I'll run it.
22:05 <@Dagmar> First person to get my attention in these games wins.
22:06 <@Dagmar> I completed pretty much all of David Keith's _side quests_ before even touching the main mission thread... because he spoke up.  Heh
22:06 <@Dagmar> Unlimted sprint, Dubstep gun, etc
22:07 <@Dagmar> I can't drive for shit but it doesn't matter becasue the game is basically an exceesively violent version of Champions Online now.
22:08 <@Dagmar> Strange that I can't shoot people from the air, tho
