**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 31 03:00:00 2012 Aug 31 06:11:36 LaoLang_coo_: don't remove the battery, easy Aug 31 06:11:49 i mean, duh Aug 31 06:14:13 kerio, but I need to change battery when it runs out of the capacity Aug 31 06:21:26 swap them quickly then :) Aug 31 06:21:52 even if the bupbat is thoroughly fucked, there are still capacitors that will resist a second or two Aug 31 06:23:30 kerio, ok, I'm looking for another way :) Aug 31 06:26:50 \_o_/ Aug 31 06:26:58 my timezone is set correctly Aug 31 06:27:10 i mean, when i have to set the time Aug 31 06:27:25 at that point, i just tap "save" and then open gpsrecorder Aug 31 06:32:33 kerio, you are lucky Aug 31 06:34:19 i mean that theoretically of course Aug 31 06:34:27 my bupbat still works =D Aug 31 08:00:00 Estel_: btw, have you tried ~n900-full-reset to fix the charger silliness? Aug 31 08:17:11 ~n900-full-reset Aug 31 08:17:12 extra, extra, read all about it, n900-full-reset is when the user presses the PWRON (power-on) button for 8 seconds and removes the battery in the next 8 seconds, the TPS65950 enters NO SUPPLY state instead of BACKUP state, even if a valid backup battery is present. In such a situation, the backup domain registers are also reset, along with the VRRTC domain registers. Aug 31 08:17:52 good point, never tried it Aug 31 08:24:36 Hi all, since yesterday I have several times experienced problem with my n900, that SIM card was disconnected and message displayed about "all telephone functions disabled". It always happened (I think) when I was carrying the phone in pocket. Is it a known terminal bug with n9000s, or is it more likely just a bad SIM? Aug 31 08:24:36 s/terminal/fatal/ Aug 31 08:24:36 edheldil meant: Hi all, since yesterday I have several times experienced problem with my n900, that SIM card was disconnected and message displayed about "all telephone functions disabled".

Aug 31 08:25:16 that was really helpful, infobot :-D Aug 31 08:26:57 mine has the same problem Aug 31 08:27:02 edheldil: it may be just mechanical issue Aug 31 08:27:08 edheldil: of sim not making good contact Aug 31 08:27:15 some have had luck by carefully bending the pins upwards Aug 31 08:27:24 though, it may be problem with rapuyama Aug 31 08:27:27 some by folding a piece of apper and shoving it between the cover and the battery Aug 31 08:27:38 and some (like mine) it is a hardware issue Aug 31 08:27:39 :-/ Aug 31 08:27:49 you can check if you can get at interface to rapuyama when that happens Aug 31 08:28:19 rauyama? Aug 31 08:42:18 jacekowski: what's that? Aug 31 08:45:12 rapuyama is the actual phone in the n900 Aug 31 08:50:40 and how can I check that I can get to rapuyama? I might be able to test with multimeter's probes somewhere accessible, but that's about the extent of my options Aug 31 08:50:40 easily accessible Aug 31 08:51:45 atd Aug 31 08:51:47 iirc Aug 31 08:51:59 there is a command that allows you to get rapuyama AT interface Aug 31 08:52:09 and then you can check if it responds to at commands Aug 31 09:29:51 jacekowski: thanks Aug 31 10:03:20 pnatd Aug 31 10:04:03 then type (blind?) 'AT' and it shall answer 'OK' Aug 31 10:04:39 at+cfun? might help too Aug 31 10:04:55 showing current operating mode of rapu Aug 31 10:07:18 dafaq, my N900 has black screen :-/ Aug 31 10:08:18 Aug 31 12:06:04 IroN900 mce[814]: Error sending with reply to com.nokia.system_ui.request.tklock_close: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Aug 31 10:14:02 DocScrutinizer05 and Estel_ Aug 31 10:14:10 about your recent discussion Aug 31 10:14:21 for sure not the last one Aug 31 10:16:15 Estel_: "DocScrutinizer05, You're also warned officially. There actually is ongoing process of revieving Your mental ability to be chanop in *any* Maemo channel. Of cours,e due to your constaint threat of kick/ban/whatever pathetic, while You lsoe Your nerves during discussion. just for sake of your contributions to being chanop - get a deep breath, go for a walk..." ---> This is not true, there Aug 31 10:16:15 isn't any official process in progress to review chanop position of DocScrutinizer05 Aug 31 10:16:47 However, I must say that both of you are absolutely unpolite Aug 31 10:17:13 this is a discussion forum not a tavern Aug 31 10:17:57 DocScrutinizer05: "so I declare busybox-power as a ban'able subjext in this chan just for you" --> This threat is not fair Aug 31 10:18:33 Please chill out Aug 31 10:19:39 * Luke-Jr notes that X-Fade owns #maemo and DocScrutinizer05 owns #harmattan, and anyone else making threats regarding chanop status is just a power-grab. Aug 31 10:21:36 DocScrutinizer05: will try that next time it breaks, thank you Aug 31 10:22:32 Estel_: if you want to present any accusation about DocScrutinizer05 abusing chanop position you must send a message to Community mailing list instead of PM me Aug 31 10:23:23 Estel_ "well, for me it isn't, and higher authorities will investigate it - along with other evidence of DocScrutinizer05 abuse (which was already considered valid)." --> This is again an invalid assumption, you must present any allegation you consider in the open. Aug 31 10:24:53 ivgalvez: you can safely ignore all that, it's just because Estel_ doen't get how IRC works Aug 31 10:31:57 anyway I beg you all to relax a bit Aug 31 10:32:07 and lowdown the tone Aug 31 10:32:17 i see it's going on on all chans Aug 31 10:32:23 TMO and here :P Aug 31 10:33:06 i think some people should stop being childish and play idiotic games. Aug 31 10:34:42 and DocScrutinizer05 was kicking and banning people for few years (mostly threating), but he is ok with being chanop most times. so i think if it's only one person that has problems with him, as well as same person having and searching the problem with others. so it's not Doc a problem at all :) Aug 31 10:34:49 DocScrutinizer05: :-* Aug 31 10:34:52 ivgalvez, so, you preffer me to start flame war with irc logs aetc on mailing list... Aug 31 10:35:05 Instead of writing it to people with higher authority over maemo's irc? Aug 31 10:35:06 fair enough Aug 31 10:35:36 ivgalvez, if that's what You want, no problems, but I doubt that we need Council at all, if we need to do everything on our own, all the time. Aug 31 10:36:09 if You preffer it like that, i'll post it into mailing list - including Your explanation why You don't want to remove him from chanop *yet*. Aug 31 10:36:27 (quoted from PM's) Aug 31 10:36:39 I hardly feel it approriate, but You don't leave me other choice. Aug 31 10:36:45 ivgalvez ^^^ Aug 31 10:37:00 oh noooooooo Aug 31 10:37:25 Estel_ now you're going too far Aug 31 10:37:56 ivgalvez: i think the best way is just to grab popcorn :P Aug 31 10:38:08 I haven't said "I don't want to remove him from chanop yet" Aug 31 10:38:24 he made a fool of himself once, let him do it again Aug 31 10:40:03 Estel_ You are trying to conduct your personal war against DocScrutinizer05 for IRC power since the very first day you were selected for Council and you were told by the rest of the members to stop that and that you were trying to abuse your position Aug 31 10:40:38 ivgalvez, as far as I remember, my "personal war" was just like now - mentioning abuse and wanting to take official action about it Aug 31 10:40:41 now, You're councilor. Aug 31 10:41:08 if You write me, using Pm, one thing (about how you agree, but don't want to do it in hard times of tranformation), and come here, to write another things Aug 31 10:41:11 it's unfair, IMO Aug 31 10:41:22 if You're begging for transparency, i'll give it to You. Aug 31 10:41:44 now, you're trying to show me in bad light, ignoring our previous conversations. Aug 31 10:42:15 I told you that I thought it wasn't time, with such big challenges ahead, to start such a fight Aug 31 10:42:16 I acknowledge that for Council, Irc chanop management is totally rogue - i.e, it's left for people that have chanop now to do whatever they want, without any consequences. I'll hapilly comfort that with things you have written before Aug 31 10:42:26 should I quote?" Aug 31 10:42:47 the Council has no authority over the IRC channels, kthx Aug 31 10:42:53 not that I wanted to remove DocScrutinizer05 Aug 31 10:42:55 "It's always the same with this guy [ DocScrutinizer05 ], i'm bored with that". then, comes part about hard times. Aug 31 10:43:14 X-Fade told us, that he is willing to give Council rights over IRc management Aug 31 10:43:16 as he is founder Aug 31 10:43:20 leaving cooperation with Nokia. Aug 31 10:43:44 Estel_: BULLSHIT!!! that was referring to discussions about whatr can be included in CSSU and whatnot Aug 31 10:43:52 You know what? Leaving diplomacy aside, i'm tired of this bullshit, I can hapilly live with fucked up IRC stuffed with mad chanops, or without irc channel at all. Aug 31 10:44:01 sigh Aug 31 10:44:12 ivgalvez, OK - I'll post whole, unaltered PM's, for people to judge Aug 31 10:44:21 if Council doesn't want to touch it, it's not my problem, too Aug 31 10:44:39 just don't complaion, when people rise doubts about Council doing *any* thing, at all. Aug 31 10:45:04 what You have done here, is essentially and literally ensuring abusive chanop, that he will be left to do whatever he want. Aug 31 10:45:14 I'mtired of this bullshit enough, to declare this topic void and null in my personal book. Aug 31 10:45:19 that's also not true Aug 31 10:45:31 I'm not talking about intentions - just about results Aug 31 10:45:36 whatever, not my problem anyway Aug 31 10:45:47 I haven't give any abusive power to any one Aug 31 10:45:59 if only this one line would result in appropriate consequences taken Aug 31 10:46:20 yea, it's not Council responsibility. It's X-Fade. The problem is that he is LEAVING. even before that, he agreed to remove chanops, if asked by Council. Aug 31 10:46:29 if everyone around you are wrong, maybe the problem is you? Aug 31 10:46:33 incorrrect, learn2IRC Aug 31 10:46:43 Now, he wanted to cooperate with Council about give all administrative tools, which Council, of course, refused to accept - as with every thing that require responsibility Aug 31 10:46:44 protip: /cs help Aug 31 10:47:24 my problem with Council - Council doesn't want to take *any* responsibility about *anything* at all, ivgalvez. results:" everytrhing is left as rogue Aug 31 10:47:28 I.E. chan founder is primary responsible of a chan Aug 31 10:47:41 if official maemo's IRc channels are not Council responsibility, who the fuck is responsible for it? Aug 31 10:47:43 but hey, it Aug 31 10:47:46 founder is LEAVING Aug 31 10:47:51 X-Fade is founder Aug 31 10:47:55 he want to pass rights to Council Aug 31 10:47:58 |Council doesn't want to take it Aug 31 10:48:10 results - no one is maintaining it, DocScrutinizer05 and other pathetic egomaniacs are happy Aug 31 10:48:12 because council is changing Aug 31 10:48:12 topic closed Aug 31 10:48:15 see ya. Aug 31 10:48:18 and council is not community kings Aug 31 10:48:19 Estel_: you have the right to present any complaint for IRC management, I just told you I thought it wasn't the right moment because that would be harmful for the community Aug 31 10:48:26 's about estel_ phone, so it's to be ruled by him (or council), no matter if IRC, or repos, or admin of servers, or the sales price Aug 31 10:48:30 community is comunity and it worked like that for a long time Aug 31 10:48:40 and if you want to present a complain you must do it officially Aug 31 10:48:40 ivgalvez, sure. My opinion is that irc channels without anyone feeling responsible for it, is more harmful Aug 31 10:48:45 and as X-Fade gave doc chanop and doc still has it, there are reasons Aug 31 10:48:58 perfect, then ellaborate and send it to community mailibng list Aug 31 10:49:07 I did it officially, to people that i felt were responsible. It turned out, that those people are not responsible for *anything*. No problem - acknowledged Aug 31 10:49:16 but don't say that actions will be taken speaking for Council Aug 31 10:49:17 sure Aug 31 10:49:20 well Aug 31 10:49:37 Estel_: if you believe we're being egomaniacs about how me manage #maemo, try stepping a foot in #php, #gentoo or #linuxmint-* Aug 31 10:49:39 I wont forget to mention your PM's and explain, why I took them as declararation of taking care about problem. Aug 31 10:49:52 officially == pm'ed one of council's i know about my hard life at irc? Aug 31 10:50:22 Absolutely not, you know that Council is not in charge of naming anyone to be in charge of anything Aug 31 10:50:22 ZogG_laptop, while You're just trying to troll, I'll actually answer You - oficially = collected every situation of DocScrutinizer05 threating about abusing power without *any* real merit to do so... Aug 31 10:50:26 *sigh* Estel_ redefining IRC. May I suggest you /join #freenode and elaborate about it there? Aug 31 10:50:31 then, sending it to people that *sahould* be responsible about it Aug 31 10:50:51 it turned out that those people don't feel responsible for IRC - what a surprise Aug 31 10:50:52 Estel_ you know that Council can't be responsible of IRC Aug 31 10:50:53 so problem is closed Aug 31 10:51:00 ivgalvez, so who is? Aug 31 10:51:01 as we cannot be responsible of TMO Aug 31 10:51:02 teotwaki: meh, gentoo is not a good example :P i was banned there for a long time, as i just answered rude for someone i even didn't know on pm :P and after all i mostly helped people there :P Aug 31 10:51:16 ivgalvez, bullshit. X-Fade already declared that he is willing to work with Council about IRC Aug 31 10:51:20 it's Council who denied! Aug 31 10:51:38 status of Council refrains for that Aug 31 10:51:40 considering that X-Fade also declared he is leaving, it's just that Council leaves IRC on it's own. Aug 31 10:51:43 Estel_: officialy is maillist and not starting war on back in private pm as u did! So please... who is trolling Aug 31 10:51:44 we are just steering group Aug 31 10:51:45 ZogG_laptop: and I got banned from #gentoo because I thought an op was abusive, same thing on #php and #linuxmint, even though I always contributed positively Aug 31 10:51:53 ZogG_laptop, mailing list isn't authority governing IRC. Aug 31 10:52:03 Council is, in my book. Or was, as they denied :) Aug 31 10:52:05 Estel_: it's community comunication Aug 31 10:52:08 (I got banned from #linuxmint for asking why someone got kicked instead of devoiced) Aug 31 10:52:09 got problem with that, ZogG_laptop? Aug 31 10:52:24 teotwaki, nice story, wanna talk about it? Aug 31 10:52:35 Council cannot take ownership of TMO as well. It's the same than IRC Aug 31 10:52:39 Estel_: I'm good, Dr Freud, but thanks. Aug 31 10:52:44 otherwise, mentioning idiots on other channels, isn't good argument about idiots in our channel. Aug 31 10:52:44 NB Estel_ still hasn't managed to understand how IRC works, he's thinking x-fade is chan founder of #maemo-ssu (which is the chan we're talking about right now) Aug 31 10:52:48 it was enuf for you to aprove to get yurself device over maillist and now it's not official for irc? Aug 31 10:52:55 ivgalvez, so again, please answer Aug 31 10:52:57 Estel_: well, I could ban your arse and be done with this discussion. Aug 31 10:53:09 teotwaki: please do Aug 31 10:53:10 who is responsible over IRC, when X-Fade leaves, and Council denied to take "tools"? Aug 31 10:53:12 I mean, at least it would give you a reason to bitch and moan Aug 31 10:53:24 Estel_: your channel? your channel? it's community channel. it worked like that before you was here and would be after you go. Aug 31 10:53:26 not that you've ever needed a reason Aug 31 10:53:40 ivgalvez, I hope You gt question, as it was spammed already ;) Aug 31 10:53:54 X-Fade is administrator but he leaving doesn't make Council capable of taking ownership Aug 31 10:54:11 if anything, ownership should go back to GA Aug 31 10:54:15 Estel_: and till now i don't think people had problems with Doc and who did resolved it. for example i had problems with him, but i talked to him and we ok. Aug 31 10:54:17 because of Council responsibilities doesn¡t fit Aug 31 10:54:31 who I believe, was one of the chanowners, before we provided access to x-fade, just to prevent anyone in the community taking over and abusing it Aug 31 10:54:51 it's just Estel_ wants council to have all and than to be council again when there is all power all over mamemo :) Aug 31 10:55:12 Board of Directors (if voted) could have more responsibilities than Council Aug 31 10:55:12 well fuck it, he can have it for all I care Aug 31 10:55:16 ivgalvez, X-Fade wanted Council to take ownership. council refused. Aug 31 10:55:20 ivgalvez, You're avoiding question Aug 31 10:55:30 No, I'm responding Aug 31 10:55:31 I ask "who is responsible, if X-Fade leaves". Aug 31 10:55:38 teotwaki: actually gentoo got more rotten :P and many contributors and old-fags left. but you are welcome at funtoo btw. after it's drobbin's second child :P Aug 31 10:55:43 You're telling me who isn't responsible,. and I'm asking who IS responsible. Aug 31 10:55:43 That's a problem Aug 31 10:55:51 do you see subtle difference? Aug 31 10:55:56 Estel_ is concerned about IRC that he can live without ;-P Aug 31 10:56:04 the same with servers and all Maemo related stuff Aug 31 10:56:06 I don't want to hear from Council "it's not our problem", I want to hear how You would like to solve this problem. Aug 31 10:56:24 By-laws Aug 31 10:56:34 but they must be approved Aug 31 10:56:44 Estel_: owner is owner, but it's also team of people who worked here for a while, they were chanops for a long time and it worked fine Aug 31 10:56:53 then there will be legal entity capable of taking actions Council can't Aug 31 10:56:53 ivgalvez, do you realize that irc management is a mess in total? for example, maemo-ssu wasn't founded by X-Fade (but he ensured, that he could take ownership without problems, from freenode) Aug 31 10:57:08 if Council don't want to fix this mess, who shall? ivgalvez? Aug 31 10:57:18 dude Aug 31 10:57:21 Estel_: are you irc cop? Aug 31 10:57:27 there's what, 6 people on #maemo-ssu? Aug 31 10:57:37 the number of idlers in #maemo is dwindling by the day Aug 31 10:57:48 give it another year, and the channel will be dead Aug 31 10:57:49 teotwaki: it's 50 on #maemo-ssu Aug 31 10:57:55 and why maemo-ssu should be councilors as well? Aug 31 10:57:56 What happened here? :O Aug 31 10:58:04 the chan was made by cssu creators Aug 31 10:58:09 MrPingu, as ussual ;P Aug 31 10:58:12 Nokia never had a say in CSSU Aug 31 10:58:18 while they did it alone (started CSSU) Aug 31 10:58:18 that was the whole fucking point of CSSU Aug 31 10:58:22 Nokia is out of the picture AFAIK Aug 31 10:58:34 so why would X-Fade have had anything to do with CSSU channel ownership? Aug 31 10:58:51 #Maemo-SSU is owned by DocScrutinizer05 and MohammadAG Aug 31 10:58:54 #maemo was never a legal representation of the community Aug 31 10:59:07 tetwaki - because it steps in Maemo's community thing, and X-Fade though that Council is actually elected by community for a reason Aug 31 10:59:28 But x-fade has never taken any administrative steps in the channel Aug 31 10:59:30 Estel_: elected to rule? Aug 31 10:59:37 well, while some of the more reasonable teach about IRC here, and try to convince Estel_ to take his pills, I have a daywork to pursue Aug 31 10:59:40 is it kingdom? Aug 31 10:59:41 bbl Aug 31 10:59:42 his ownership equated to basically, us telling him who to add to the operator lists Aug 31 10:59:48 considering that X-Fade - just like me - though that Council want to be responsible about *anything*, he wanted to claim ownership of maemo-ssu too, if Council ask for it Aug 31 11:00:10 Estel_: ^ Aug 31 11:00:19 Estel_: it would sucks if people like you would have all powers Aug 31 11:00:21 Estel_: X-Fade has no authority in #Maemo-SSU Aug 31 11:00:34 teotwaki, saw it. Well, I said it's a mess - especially, considering freenode rules about projects Aug 31 11:00:34 neither do freenode staff for that matter Aug 31 11:00:39 than i bet you'll ban more, we saw how u talk when u was council :P Aug 31 11:00:50 and i bet your actuon wouldn't differ Aug 31 11:00:53 Estel_, jsut a summary: Council is just steering group for the community, doesn't have real powers, no matter what X-Fade, you or any other could think about it. It wouldn't be legal nor moral to claim Council ownership over any Maemo resources Aug 31 11:00:57 Luke-Jr, he would have authority if he wanted too, read freenode rulews about channel names Aug 31 11:01:16 ivgalvez, currently, Council isn't any steering group, as it doesn't want to .take *any* problems Aug 31 11:01:23 Estel_: is there a GRF in place? Aug 31 11:01:41 Coding Competition got promised voting mechanism, but it isn't going to happen? councilor answered "fuck you" using prettier words Aug 31 11:01:42 to avoid the void that Nokia and Nemein are leaving we propose to form a new Community via By-laws Aug 31 11:01:44 aka "do it yourself" Aug 31 11:01:50 there is problem with abusive chanop? Aug 31 11:01:51 in any case, Nokia is no longer involved in Maemo. Aug 31 11:01:59 Estel_: if you want, it takes me 20s to rename the channel to ##maemo Aug 31 11:02:08 "sorry, we're not authority. there is no authority over IRC channels, currently> thank you, yours Council" Aug 31 11:02:16 ivgalvez: it's ok i think as well meegoexperts, n9-apps maemos.ru and other sites should be transfered for council administration. I think elop should report daily to council as well Aug 31 11:02:22 teotwaki: don't bother, the channel's old enough to be grandfathered in Aug 31 11:02:31 teotwaki: and there is no official Maemo entity really anymore Aug 31 11:02:37 ivgalvez, bylaws is one thing, but managing what is under Community (represented by Council) responsibility NOW is another Aug 31 11:02:37 I know that Aug 31 11:02:41 just making a point Aug 31 11:02:54 x-fade taking over #maemo-ssu would require him to actually WANT to do that Aug 31 11:02:54 basically, you're telling us that until bylaws got accepted, You won't lift single finger to help with any problem Aug 31 11:02:57 teotwaki: oh, i think you are one of the freenode people, aren't you :P Aug 31 11:03:09 ZogG_laptop: nope Aug 31 11:03:24 teotwaki = crashanddie Aug 31 11:03:25 he's probably also not amused to hear "Jump!" from this mad guy Aug 31 11:03:28 teotwaki: so how would you rename? Aug 31 11:03:35 ivgalvez, it's basically leaving everything to work on it's own,. before bylaws are accepted and foundation created. I.e "full wild life" and totally rogue. Aug 31 11:03:56 Estel_: your "bylaws" have no relevance to IRC either Aug 31 11:03:59 Estel_: it's been "full wild life" before that aswell Aug 31 11:04:00 my bylaws? Aug 31 11:04:01 ZogG_laptop: op myself, setup automated redirect to ##maemo, kick everyone Aug 31 11:04:05 how it's mine? 0_o? Aug 31 11:04:07 Luke-Jr: teotwaki both nicks familiur. i think from gentoo and as well here i had chat with him but it was few years ago Aug 31 11:04:18 Estel_: because I ignore them Aug 31 11:04:28 well technically X-Fade could be able to take over #maemo-ssu thanks to freenode policy about project names but why would he want to, and even if he did what stops us from using another name? Aug 31 11:04:48 merlin1991: it;s all about power games Aug 31 11:05:04 it's about Estel_ redefining IRC Aug 31 11:05:11 and taking lessons Aug 31 11:05:17 merlin1991: it's like that u do all the work and that only few people started it while most jsut only use, the elite should control you. Aug 31 11:05:21 "Inferior Rebel Chat" Aug 31 11:05:38 the Council only represents those who choose to recognize it as as representing them. Aug 31 11:05:39 like in soviet russia :P when they said to sientist what to do and no creativity otherwise you are dead Aug 31 11:06:39 DocScrutinizer05: it's not only IRC, he is teaching council on TMO what to do with voting system and people, how not to ask rudely questiont to council Aug 31 11:07:02 haha, while he is as rude as it gets Aug 31 11:07:29 oh and Estel_, for the record, Doc and I were more abusive as mods on TMO than we ever were on IRC. Aug 31 11:07:51 when's the last complaint regarding abusive op on #maemo been? Aug 31 11:08:20 Estel_ the same than IRC applies to TMO. Actual administrator is Reggie and there are moderators, you could have whatever grief with any moderator you want to but Council won't be able to do anything about it. TMO administration can't be handed to Council by any means, the same applies to IRC. Board of Directors however will be able to receive permissions over TMO and promote a process to select Aug 31 11:08:20 administrators. Aug 31 11:08:22 when the hell has there been a kick, recently? Aug 31 11:08:53 ivgalvez, so, basically, we're putting lights off... Aug 31 11:08:58 when reggie leaves, and X-FadE? Aug 31 11:09:13 sure, IRc will work on it's own ;) Aug 31 11:09:16 Estel_: in terms of IRC? Yes. No lights are needed. Aug 31 11:09:19 its own** Aug 31 11:10:11 ivgalvez, it isn't a stance that I would expect from elected Maemo's Council. anyway, continuing this discussion doesn't make any sense Aug 31 11:10:26 teotwaki: have you seen The Office? Aug 31 11:10:46 We are not putting lights off we are preparing the transformation in a legal entity capable of handling such things Aug 31 11:10:46 Estel_: this discussion makes plenty of sense, you don't. Aug 31 11:10:54 I thing I'm stuffed up enough with all this bullshit about no one wanting to take responsibility about anything. I understand, why both developers and old-time users are getting frustrated. Aug 31 11:11:00 Estel_: if you want to be an abusive ego-driven douche, just admit it. Aug 31 11:11:03 teotwaki, well, you're free to have such opinion, of course. Aug 31 11:11:16 But don't go making up stories about "But what if the owners leave?" Aug 31 11:11:17 That's what Council is Aug 31 11:11:28 nothing more Aug 31 11:11:33 Estel_: who is those devs and old-users? Aug 31 11:11:36 Do you honestly believe that x-fade wouldn't take two minutes to transfer ownership to GA, or Jaffa? Aug 31 11:11:39 all i'mtrying to point out is that, following current interpretation by ivgalvez, chanops can do whatever shit they want, because no one is responsible for them. Aug 31 11:11:53 Estel_: actually, you're wrong. Aug 31 11:12:13 but thatt's not my problem, after all, and I have wasted enough "breath" (clicks) for that topic, already Aug 31 11:12:26 teotwaki: GA is chaop and it's not related :P Aug 31 11:12:51 Estel_: if I cross the line, anyone in the community can tell me to fuck off, and any person in the /cs access list could go to freenode and have me removed. Aug 31 11:12:55 I just hope that such inability to coordinate and maintain *anything* - from Council - won't hurt Maemo's Community, making most important devs and dedicated users to leave. Aug 31 11:12:58 End of message ;) Aug 31 11:13:09 Estel_: i think you can go to #abuse and #help channels :P Aug 31 11:13:17 The Council has been a joke for ages Aug 31 11:13:28 it's the most official freenode thing u can get here :P Aug 31 11:14:34 teotwaki: i didn't followed their actions too much but as see some members who was council on all times, they were contributors (not relevant of being council or not) Aug 31 11:16:38 teotwaki: now the most annoying thing, as how do i know u as i know bth your nicks Aug 31 11:16:56 teotwaki: was u op on gentoo as well before ? Aug 31 11:17:31 No, but I hung out on the -ops channel Aug 31 11:17:47 i think u may be the one who unbanned me or helped to be unbanned :P Aug 31 11:17:58 ah, might be Aug 31 11:18:17 teotwaki: than thanks again :P Aug 31 11:19:34 Estel_: I'm serious though, if you want to ego-trip and get ownership of the channel, just go ahead and say it. Aug 31 11:20:03 But don't pretend you're doing it for "the greater good". Aug 31 11:20:12 teotwaki: he'll ban everyone than :P Aug 31 11:20:36 As I said, it's ruins already, not like there's much to manage. Aug 31 11:20:46 at the end it would be Estel_ freenode owner :P Aug 31 11:24:40 * Jaffa sees his name, reads scrollback and decides to avoid the conversation. Aug 31 11:26:17 Jaffa: you bastard, I didn't even know you were here Aug 31 11:26:31 Jaffa: anyway, tl;dr: You'll get channel ownership in coming days/weeks. Aug 31 11:27:01 or at the very least, you'll be marked as a successor Aug 31 11:27:08 don't scare Jaffa, Do you think he would like all this mess? Aug 31 11:27:31 oh so now you speak, but my direct questions you ignore? Aug 31 11:27:50 sorry teotwaki, was involved in more constructive discussion about busybox-power in cssu Aug 31 11:27:59 could you quote it? too much noise in channel Aug 31 11:28:08 (teotwaki) Estel_: I'm serious though, if you want to ego-trip and get ownership of the channel, just go ahead and say it. Aug 31 11:28:09 (teotwaki) But don't pretend you're doing it for "the greater good". Aug 31 11:28:16 pure sophism. Aug 31 11:28:43 I mentioned abusive chanops, you mention that there are abusive chanops on other channels too. I mentioned that it's bad for community, you're telling us that irc will be empty soon anyway Aug 31 11:28:58 it's clear that you jsut don't care, so You're, probably, enjoying all that mess Aug 31 11:29:00 ok, when was the latest op abuse? Aug 31 11:29:04 but there are people who care, you know? Aug 31 11:29:16 teotwaki, go and read chanlog Aug 31 11:29:22 no, you tell me. Aug 31 11:29:29 You say that one of the reasons is op abuse, give me dates. Aug 31 11:29:30 if you're involving Yourself in this discussion, you should be aware wehat You're discussing about Aug 31 11:29:31 [2012-08-31 13:26:06] *** merlin1991 hat Estel_ aus dem Kanal geworfen (Der Kindergarten ist woanders!). Aug 31 11:29:37 unles syou're doing it for pure shit'n'giggles fun Aug 31 11:29:42 ^^^ latest "abuse" Aug 31 11:29:50 bullshit, as abuse was about You. Aug 31 11:29:58 anyway, time to improve ignore filters Aug 31 11:30:11 definitelly too much time wasted for all this shit, already. Aug 31 11:30:13 correct, let's filter it for the whole community Aug 31 11:30:37 teotwaki, Yor only argument is that we don't need to do anything, as community will disappear soon,a nd you don't care anyway Aug 31 11:30:43 hardly a partner for discussion, is You ask me Aug 31 11:30:48 happy trolling, i'm out. Aug 31 11:30:54 * DocScrutinizer05 suggests opening a #estel_ channel, much more effective Aug 31 11:31:26 Now that's more effective. Aug 31 11:31:35 indeed Aug 31 11:31:45 For the record, I'll remove the ban in 10 minutes or so. Aug 31 11:32:28 good, since I won't Aug 31 11:32:50 I've been asked not to administer estel_ in this chan anymore ;-P Aug 31 11:33:00 fair enough Aug 31 11:34:24 :P Aug 31 11:36:37 after all this privilige he is still whinning? Aug 31 11:37:05 i barely saw people were banned on this chan for about 3 years :P Aug 31 11:37:22 ZogG_laptop: +1 Aug 31 11:37:27 he worked hard to own it Aug 31 11:37:30 only bots and stuff Aug 31 11:37:36 s/own/earn/ Aug 31 11:37:36 DocScrutinizer05 meant: he worked hard to earn it Aug 31 11:37:39 btw it's time to take cloak of council from estel Aug 31 11:38:15 doc kicked me once or twice but i asked for it, literally :P Aug 31 11:38:41 I think the two people I kicked the most out of this channel were MohammadAG, qwerty12 and lcuk. Aug 31 11:38:53 me needs to study math again, 2 != 3. Aug 31 11:38:56 teotwaki: why would u kick them? Aug 31 11:39:09 I don't remember Aug 31 11:39:13 Fun, mainly. Aug 31 11:39:23 and qwerty12 was here, i missed him here or i didn't pay attentiion to him than Aug 31 11:39:36 ~seen qwerty12 Aug 31 11:39:38 qwerty12 <~qwerty12@31.185.237.96> was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo, 266d 17h 57m 59s ago, saying: '?'.

Aug 31 11:50:26 yeah, sounds about right Aug 31 11:50:28 MohammadAG: don't do it Aug 31 11:50:40 a chanop that never gets accused to be abusive probably does a poor job Aug 31 11:50:47 teotwaki: so are you cunt or not. i need to know! Aug 31 11:51:07 DocScrutinizer51: i was never told i was abusive Aug 31 11:51:18 ZogG_laptop: Why Aug 31 11:51:40 actually i was once after i banned someone who said racist thing and after i kicked he came back to say more. Aug 31 11:52:14 but after he was unbanned and kept talking, and everyone said that i'm not right i left that chan and didn't come back for a long time Aug 31 11:52:21 ZogG_laptop: see?

D: Aug 31 12:03:05 MohammadAG: but it is! D: Aug 31 12:03:50 Hi DocScrutinizer51 :) Aug 31 12:04:02 kerio: teotwaki why? Aug 31 12:04:34 because 1) not maemo Aug 31 12:04:43 yeah, that's about it Aug 31 12:04:43 because 1) not maemo Aug 31 12:04:53 because 2) you can't put GPL software on it Aug 31 12:04:58 You can? Aug 31 12:04:59 because 3) you can't hack with the device Aug 31 12:05:04 and it has no kbd. Aug 31 12:05:10 No, you can't have GPL software in the appstore. Aug 31 12:05:44 MohammadAG: the point of doing it official way Aug 31 12:05:48 MohammadAG: look at the VLC d débâcle. Aug 31 12:06:20 but with harmattan and aegis friend most stuff is more sad than with jailbroken iphone :\ Aug 31 12:06:53 teotwaki: he is using jailbroken things, so it's other side of dark side Aug 31 12:07:19 He's still limiting himself by using limited hardware Aug 31 12:07:45 It's like buying a Dell desktop with Windows 7 just to be able to install Linux on it. Aug 31 12:07:56 teotwaki: I don't use iOS devices with jailbreaking them Aug 31 12:08:00 Buy the parts separately, assemble, install your own OS. Aug 31 12:08:05 teotwaki: nothing out there for now anyway :( Aug 31 12:08:15 MohammadAG: move to Android. Aug 31 12:08:18 Without* Aug 31 12:08:22 or better yet, FS Aug 31 12:08:22 teotwaki: Never Aug 31 12:08:24 You lazy scum.

There's at least a handful of companies that sell laptops without Windows. Aug 31 12:08:56 MohammadAG: ever synced 4 apple devices at once? Aug 31 12:09:06 chem|st: Nope Aug 31 12:09:20 teotwaki: u can't assemble them and most of them are liited choise :( Aug 31 12:09:22 But id imagine iTunes would crash on windows Aug 31 12:09:37 MohammadAG: never seen something more painful Aug 31 12:09:39 itunes — LOL Aug 31 12:09:50 another reason not to own an idevice Aug 31 12:09:50 android is good for end user Aug 31 12:09:55 itunes. Aug 31 12:10:03 MohammadAG: do you have a raspberry yet? Aug 31 12:10:05 but it's fake. it claims to be opensource while it's hybrid Aug 31 12:10:18 When a single core 1GHz device beats a quad core 1.2GHz with double the RAM you can see something's wrong Aug 31 12:10:22 MohammadAG: getting a picture from iphone to powerbook needed an email, BT not working at all Aug 31 12:10:23 teotwaki: MohammadAG i got raspberry yesterday Aug 31 12:10:28 teotwaki: Nope Aug 31 12:10:30 teotwaki: do you have gentoo on it?

Aug 31 12:11:05 I did some benchmarks on it, through zmq, using inproc memory, I was able to squeeze 4.1Gbit/s out of it Aug 31 12:11:12 Which I think is pretty decent! Aug 31 12:11:25 MohammadAG: i have one more invitation to get one from other place, if you want but it's over priced there Aug 31 12:11:37 How overpriced? Aug 31 12:12:02 200NIS is fine for me Aug 31 12:12:03 MohammadAG: it took few months. the shipment 5 days... Aug 31 12:12:10 I hate waiting Aug 31 12:12:14 MohammadAG: i didn't pay for mine Aug 31 12:12:20 yet Aug 31 12:12:30 No metawatch, no rpi, for that reason Aug 31 12:12:33 they waited for shipment Aug 31 12:12:52 but i got it and still not Aug 31 12:13:22 Would anyone else say 4.1Gbit/s is good? Aug 31 12:13:22 No? Aug 31 12:13:45 Not if you don't say how many GB/s that is Aug 31 12:13:57 divide by 8 Aug 31 12:14:19 teotwaki: for internets Aug 31 12:14:33 ?

Is there some kind of hardware channel? (For hardware bugs etc) Aug 31 13:13:35 Fabian_S: hardware bugs? Aug 31 13:13:39 Fabian_S: for the N900? Aug 31 13:33:44 teotwaki: Yes, for the N900. Aug 31 13:34:05 Fabian_S: you do realise that the platform has been abandoned? Aug 31 13:34:10 all known hw bugs live on my shelf Aug 31 13:34:12 Fabian_S: hardware bugs will never be fixed. Aug 31 13:34:37 unless I fix them ;-P Aug 31 13:34:47 N900 will never be abandoned! ;) Aug 31 13:35:51 Fabian_S: anyway, you think you found a hw bug in RX51? Aug 31 13:36:02 My dear pocket machine refuses to boot since yesterday. Its not the battery (checked with other). Maybe something with the bq24150a charger chip. Aug 31 13:36:10 there are few known ones Aug 31 13:36:33 I am seeking help for the problem, or some links or directions where to look. Aug 31 13:36:36 yay, powerkernel I assume? Aug 31 13:36:47 try Aug 31 13:37:01 ~n900-full-reset Aug 31 13:37:01 it has been said that n900-full-reset is when the user presses the PWRON (power-on) button for 8 seconds and removes the battery in the next 8 seconds, the TPS65950 enters NO SUPPLY state instead of BACKUP state, even if a valid backup battery is present. In such a situation, the backup domain registers are also reset, along with the VRRTC domain registers. Aug 31 13:37:03 Powerkernel v50 and i used USB-Hostmode. Aug 31 13:37:37 Fabian_S: what do you mean by 'doesn't boot'? Aug 31 13:37:58 please elaborate Aug 31 13:38:19 hm, v50 should be still safe Aug 31 13:38:29 DocScrutinizer51: hehehe, you were dying for a reason to post that factoid, weren't you Aug 31 13:38:30 yep Aug 31 13:38:54 Bootcycle with only NOKIA-logo, no USB-Logo in upper right corner. Very short solid orange LED directly after powering up (only 0.5 secs). Aug 31 13:39:30 actually it came in handy Aug 31 13:40:16 Fabian_S: you're suffering from borked rootfs which doesn't start bme Aug 31 13:40:24 Fabian_S: reflash Aug 31 13:40:27 or defect battery Aug 31 13:40:57 I had problems for many months. I only could power the device while on wall charger, restarting was ok. Sometimes the battery indicator didn't updated, sometimes no charging was initiated when plugging in wall charger. Aug 31 13:40:57 ~reflash Aug 31 13:40:57 somebody said reflash was zImage and/or initrd.bin on CF and press C+D+Reset (collie) OR updater.sh, zimage.bin and/or initrd.bin on CF/SD and press OK while rebooting, then option 4, then CD or SF, then HAI (yes), then wait and cross fingers (all other models) Aug 31 13:41:10 ...what the fuck Aug 31 13:41:32 Problem: I does not go in USB-Mode. Aug 31 13:41:37 My device is running awesome again after reflash :) Aug 31 13:41:47 Fabian_S: try a different battery if you have one Aug 31 13:41:47 ~flashing Aug 31 13:41:49 rumour has it, maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Aug 31 13:41:49 The battery is ok, checked with other BL-5J from an other phone. Aug 31 13:42:25 hmmm Aug 31 13:43:16 I'll try the 8 second thing. So i press power button 8 secs (slightly longer), then remove battery while keep the power button pressed down? Aug 31 13:43:22 Fabian_S: could you postpone topic until I'm @home again? ~30min Aug 31 13:43:43 kinda Aug 31 13:43:50 Fabian_S: that can't hurt Aug 31 13:43:58 it should be the same as removing the battery and waiting for bupbat depletion Aug 31 13:44:08 though I think you may release powerbutton when phone shut down Aug 31 13:44:30 no, you may release powerbutton after 8 seconds Aug 31 13:44:31 >:C Aug 31 13:45:13 afk for 20min Aug 31 13:45:24 DocScrutinizer51: ok Aug 31 13:45:26 more like 30 Aug 31 13:46:08 Fabian_S: does your bupbat still work? Aug 31 13:46:32 Fabian_S: pretty basic hw function test: hold 'u' while plugging in Nokia fastcharger Aug 31 13:46:51 should result in steady nokia screen with usb symbol Aug 31 13:47:42 Do i have to put the cover on for the test? Aug 31 13:47:59 ot mandatory Aug 31 13:48:15 And... what is a bupbat? :) Aug 31 13:48:17 though it might help rule out unknown side effects Aug 31 13:48:32 backup battery for cmos clock Aug 31 13:50:13 MohammadAG: do you know Korea's Justin Bieber? Aug 31 13:50:47 Seems like my bupbat is pretty depleted, because only after a few minutes without battery i had to reset clock. Aug 31 13:52:23 i suppose you can just remove the battery for 10 minutes or so Aug 31 13:52:27 it should have the same effect Aug 31 13:52:43 and it's not depleted, it's broken Aug 31 13:52:56 like most of the stock batteries Aug 31 13:53:15 Status: Steady NOKIA-Screen with USB-Logo. (fuck yeah) Aug 31 13:53:15 - Placed battery -> Boot cycle starts Aug 31 13:53:15 - removed battery Aug 31 13:53:15 - Plugged wall charger while pressing U -> very short orange LED, but nothing else Aug 31 13:53:15 - placed battery while pressing U -> steady NOKIA-Sceen with USB-Logo Aug 31 13:53:33 That is an improvement, kinda. :) Aug 31 13:53:39 :D Aug 31 13:53:41 now reflash Aug 31 13:53:44 Fabian_S: That enables you to flash your device Aug 31 13:54:42 I think i try with kernel first, then full rootfs. Aug 31 13:55:19 Fabian_S: Smart ;) Aug 31 14:00:57 USB device found found at bus 001, device address 009. Aug 31 14:00:57 Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2204 Aug 31 14:00:57 NOLO version 1.4.14 Aug 31 14:00:57 Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_MR0 Aug 31 14:00:57 The device is in production mode Aug 31 14:01:02 I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! Aug 31 14:09:21 <3 Aug 31 14:10:16 * DocScrutinizer05 hands kerio a cookie Aug 31 14:10:38 /dcc get DocScrutinizer cookie Aug 31 14:14:00 :) Aug 31 14:15:41 Never ever was so happy to see those Nokia hands. :D Aug 31 14:17:11 Next step: Install BackupMenu and restore backup from july. Aug 31 14:35:04 Do you also have that everytime you use a web-application that the vendor finds some excuse as to why it doesn't work? Aug 31 14:35:34 It's nothing but beta testing and of course there is no way to get around using the web-application to achieve certain real-world goals. Aug 31 14:36:07 I think they forgot the part of automation where the automation should actually work. Aug 31 14:36:28 (Just like Nokia has forgotten the part of customer service, where the customer service people need to understand English.) Aug 31 14:37:18 (Or the part where providing 'technical support', means that there is someone technical still working at your company.) Aug 31 14:37:45 fasta: every vendor has excuses for everything Aug 31 14:38:16 lartza_: I don't mind services which I can escape from, but things which you have to use are just a nightmare. Aug 31 14:38:33 The same thing applies to the government usually. Aug 31 14:38:47 The same stupid people get elected every year and there is nothing you can do about it. Aug 31 14:39:18 We have a media-democracy, just like Russia has, basically. Aug 31 14:40:37 Where do you live then? Aug 31 14:40:46 MrPingu: The Netherlands. Aug 31 14:41:05 We do fine on lots of economical charts, etc. Aug 31 14:41:19 Except, we are just as corrupt as everyone else. Aug 31 14:41:21 Yeah and if new ones are elected, they revert the changes last government did :p Aug 31 14:41:26 Is there any other democracy than media one? Aug 31 14:41:34 Skry: the original Greek one. Aug 31 14:42:04 There is actually one party which wants that kind of democracy. Aug 31 14:42:07 the only democracy is when there is only one person left. Aug 31 14:42:35 ;) Aug 31 14:42:40 I think the whole idea that a majority has any power over me is stupid. Aug 31 14:42:43 fasta: i guess its a pretty forgotten form nowadays. Aug 31 14:43:15 If someone wants to do business with me, then I should be able to choose whether I want to accept. Aug 31 14:43:31 Democracy says some big gang can tell me what to do. Aug 31 14:44:02 Also government has zero reason to perform any work. Aug 31 14:44:13 There is no competition in any way for them. Aug 31 14:44:48 It should be possible to instantly fire anyone working for the government if enough citizens press the 'fire now'-button. Aug 31 14:45:02 They should be able to list a reason of course. Aug 31 14:45:09 For example: "completely incompetent". Aug 31 14:45:18 Or: "lying scumbag". Aug 31 14:45:39 that would drop a lot of politicians Aug 31 14:45:44 If enough of the employers (=citizens) are unsatisfied, it would be => bye bye. Aug 31 14:46:00 Currently, it's the other way around. Aug 31 14:47:09 Politicians have never ever made any impact, AFAIK, except perhaps people like Churchill or something like that. Aug 31 14:47:17 anarchocapitalistic manifesto on #maemo, must be friday night! Aug 31 14:47:25 All change is done by technology improvements. Aug 31 14:48:38 Also, the government keeps crying about 'lack of economic growth', but in the meanwhile you need to beg for their permission to do anything. Aug 31 14:49:47 Anyway, I suppose it's the ancient old 'everything sucks'-rule which applies in government too. Aug 31 14:50:27 and Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence. Aug 31 14:50:42 lartza_: that's just want they want you to think. Aug 31 14:50:54 lartza_: it's greed, nothing else. Aug 31 14:51:34 I also wonder why we don't just say we live in a communistic state. Aug 31 14:51:50 More than 50% of all expenses are done by the government here. Aug 31 14:52:07 I am not sure, how else you would call that. Aug 31 14:52:25 When is it communism? Only if it is at 100%? Aug 31 14:53:13 It's the same thing with physical security. Aug 31 14:53:24 Let's say you are a jeweler and want to protect your property. Aug 31 14:54:07 An efficient way to solve this would be to put a camera somewhere, detect that it's outside of the normal opening hours, detect that someone is not recognizable and then fire some shotgun wired to a computer. Aug 31 14:54:12 Except, that's illegal. Aug 31 14:54:12 hey Aug 31 14:54:28 Any Raspberry Pi users here? Aug 31 14:54:48 that got both an N900 and Pi? Aug 31 14:54:59 But in the meanwhile, when you would hook up the same system to a phone calling the equivalent of 911, that would _also_ be illegal. Aug 31 14:55:13 As such, the rules are setup such that criminals will always win. Aug 31 14:55:37 Why would that be? The only reason I can think of is for them (police) to keep a job. Aug 31 14:55:54 The purpose of government isn't to solve problems; it's to create them. Aug 31 14:56:16 If you look at things in this way, much more things make sense. Aug 31 15:00:00 Yay! My N900 is working again! Thanks to everybody! :) Aug 31 15:00:35 which gps software is the greatest on n900? Aug 31 15:01:39 I'm considering I should probably put my mappero fix to the extras repo (don't really know how) but is mappero dead already? Aug 31 15:01:41 lartza_: AFAIK, that's done by a chip and the software just reads it out. Aug 31 15:01:50 lartza_: CloudGPS, in that case. Aug 31 15:02:16 lartza_: very smooth zooming, etc. Aug 31 15:02:17 supports pois and gpx tracks/routes? Aug 31 15:02:24 lartza_: probably not. Aug 31 15:02:31 I need driving instructions from mappero Aug 31 15:02:44 lartza_: driving instructions are in CloudGPS, AFAIK, Aug 31 15:03:12 lartza_: I'd say that CloudGPS is one of the less amateuristic applications. Aug 31 15:03:16 when it comes to navigation - i would say iphone - because of tomtom Aug 31 15:03:30 lartza_: Did you ever tried modrana? It supports POIs and tracks (creation/display) Aug 31 15:03:31 lartza_: you can also pay some company (there is a commercial app for the n900) Aug 31 15:03:41 sygic Aug 31 15:03:44 but it's useless Aug 31 15:03:51 jacekowski: why is that? Aug 31 15:03:56 jacekowski: (I have never used it) Aug 31 15:04:14 it's slow, and there was a problem with postcodes or something Aug 31 15:04:18 can't remember now Aug 31 15:04:24 or i'll keep on using my patched mappero ;) but i'll check cloudgps Aug 31 15:04:58 but tomtom is releasing android app Aug 31 15:05:11 so that's going to be sweeeeeeeeeet Aug 31 15:05:49 jacekowski: what's the business model going to be? Aug 31 15:06:09 dunno Aug 31 15:06:16 http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/47201/tomtom-for-android-app-preview Aug 31 15:06:25 http://www.techradar.com/news/car-tech/satnav/tomtom-quality-will-allow-us-to-compete-with-free-navigation-1094293 Aug 31 15:07:25 but basic thing, most apps for android are either online or shit Aug 31 15:07:50 tomtom is offline and it's the best navigation out there Aug 31 15:08:13 jacekowski: Google navigation is pretty good, imho. Aug 31 15:08:13 which is the killer feature when abroad Aug 31 15:08:18 fasta: but it's online Aug 31 15:08:32 luckily mappero supports offline google routes Aug 31 15:08:33 so when i travel abroad it doesn't work Aug 31 15:08:43 jacekowski: yes, but the number of people going online is growing. Aug 31 15:08:45 lartza_: but you have to generate them before leaving? Aug 31 15:08:48 yea Aug 31 15:09:04 jacekowski: I do agree that embedded devices that work offline are useful. Aug 31 15:09:21 jacekowski: smartphones just don't have a lot of battery power in them. Aug 31 15:09:21 fasta: i'm online when i'm in the UK Aug 31 15:09:28 hm, seems there is a 'solution' for making the camera remember its save-location Aug 31 15:09:29 fasta: but abroad, no way Aug 31 15:09:38 jacekowski: it's 2 euros per day. Aug 31 15:09:39 connect via wlan, download gpx and openstreetmap tiles, offline while driving. that's how I travelled from finland to germany by car :) Aug 31 15:09:46 fasta: read the small print Aug 31 15:09:51 fasta: you are limited to few megabytes and stuff Aug 31 15:10:02 it would never rember it by me, and kept resetting the location to my SD card Aug 31 15:10:04 jacekowski: for Vodaphone? Aug 31 15:10:17 fasta: iirc it's £2/day on t-mobile uk and 15MB Aug 31 15:10:19 jacekowski: ok, then they are misleading and I should report them to the false advertising committee :) Aug 31 15:10:29 fasta: they don't say unlimited Aug 31 15:10:36 but apparently setting it to save on the device itself and then removing the sd card (after turning it off:) and rebooting it again Aug 31 15:10:39 jacekowski: they also don't say it's limited. Aug 31 15:10:50 will force it to remember to save it to the device itself Aug 31 15:11:09 hmm Aug 31 15:11:10 http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/business/services/going-abroad/using-the-internet-abroad/ Aug 31 15:11:16 Mobile communications should also be free politically speaking. Aug 31 15:11:18 hmm Aug 31 15:11:26 It exists for over 150 years basically. Aug 31 15:11:47 there will be european fixed price gprs roaming some day Aug 31 15:11:52 Its potential is enormous, but no, we have to auction it off to some stupid corporation. Aug 31 15:11:57 http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=USING_THE_INTERNET_ABROAD Aug 31 15:12:18 I think the first ones are on the market already Aug 31 15:12:24 on t-mobile uk you pay £10 for 50MB Aug 31 15:12:38 i'm better of paying for tomtom app or something like that Aug 31 15:12:54 that's in EU Aug 31 15:13:28 if i go to some shitholes i tend to visit like qatar then it would be £140 for 20MB Aug 31 15:13:42 jacekowski: why do you visit shitholes? Aug 31 15:13:46 work Aug 31 15:13:52 jacekowski: so you are a cia agent? Aug 31 15:13:55 well, qatar wasn't so bad Aug 31 15:13:59 fasta: you could say so Aug 31 15:14:11 jacekowski: or FSA. Aug 31 15:14:13 if that makes you happy Aug 31 15:14:37 nah, we just do water cleaning/screening stuff everywhere Aug 31 15:14:49 well, not us exactly Aug 31 15:14:52 another company Aug 31 15:14:57 but we do all software for them Aug 31 15:15:10 And they want you to be 'on-site'. Aug 31 15:15:17 (for some bullshit reason, probably) Aug 31 15:15:24 not exactly Aug 31 15:15:28 it's us commisioning it in the end Aug 31 15:15:36 Ah, ok. Aug 31 15:15:42 cd water && make clean Aug 31 15:15:53 i mean qatar wasn't bad place to go Aug 31 15:15:57 bit hot Aug 31 15:16:05 and alcohol was expensive Aug 31 15:16:19 but saudi arabia was pretty bad Aug 31 15:16:27 jacekowski: I think TomTom certainly provides a valuable experience (unlike most other software). Aug 31 15:16:31 because we were in poor part of the country Aug 31 15:17:14 (we spent something like 100SAR for food there for week - while single sandwich on airport costed 100SAR) Aug 31 15:17:17 jacekowski: I have another brand of personal navigation embedded device and after an update it also gets the job done just fine. Aug 31 15:17:41 but basically, you i go and a lot of people do that as well Aug 31 15:17:47 to places where there is no internet Aug 31 15:17:53 jacekowski: as such, you are basically paying something for the extra quality of TomTom. Aug 31 15:17:54 or it's not easy to access Aug 31 15:18:01 if I was going to poor parts of saudi arabia i'd probably also buy the more expensive commercial gps Aug 31 15:18:10 Still, TomTom has some parts which are not exactly ideal, for example they are a C++ shop. Aug 31 15:18:13 lartza_: why, same stuff Aug 31 15:18:23 and it saves weight Aug 31 15:18:28 As a consumer you will only notice that as 'oh, look it works fast'. Aug 31 15:18:46 But they will likely lag in features compared to others. Aug 31 15:18:57 well, C++ is a good thing Aug 31 15:19:01 C would be better Aug 31 15:19:09 I think Nokia using Prolog for certain features was a good move. Aug 31 15:19:35 Still, I think Nokia built pretty bad UI applications. Aug 31 15:19:36 but thing is, internet in saudi is pretty cheap Aug 31 15:19:47 iirc it was 100SAR (£17) for simcard with internet for month Aug 31 15:20:06 jacekowski: why would C be better? Aug 31 15:20:11 but coverage on the desert/poor part of the country was not perfect Aug 31 15:20:21 If computers were infinitely fast, I think C++ would be better. Aug 31 15:20:31 C++ compiles just so slowly. Aug 31 15:20:41 C++ has all disadvantages of C Aug 31 15:20:48 with added disadvantages of OOP Aug 31 15:21:11 Using C++ in a particular way leads to fairly safe code. Aug 31 15:21:34 thing is, C++ has a lot of nasty "features" Aug 31 15:21:38 and duplicate features Aug 31 15:21:42 Yes, it's a big language. Aug 31 15:22:00 C++ being designed as C compatible was a mistake Aug 31 15:22:00 I think everyone always wants to take shortcuts. Aug 31 15:22:26 A language like Coq combined with Bedrock or something like that would actually allow you to say 'this code has no bugs'. Aug 31 15:22:37 + polymorphism Aug 31 15:22:45 as in overloading Aug 31 15:22:48 adhoc Aug 31 15:22:51 that leads to some nasty shit happening Aug 31 15:22:54 when debugging Aug 31 15:23:04 because 2+2 may not equal 4 Aug 31 15:23:10 if you overload Aug 31 15:23:13 jacekowski: ATS is also a decently designed language. Aug 31 15:23:23 jacekowski: it's just that the current implementation is a bit ... meh. Aug 31 15:23:34 That's the case with lots of these languages. Aug 31 15:23:34 really, C# is the future Aug 31 15:23:45 jacekowski: why would that be? Aug 31 15:24:01 It doesn't run on Linux in a decent way, there are no decent tools on Linux. Aug 31 15:24:27 And you still get a garbage collector for 'free'. Aug 31 15:24:43 Garbage collection doesn't work for a lot of applications. Aug 31 15:24:47 * ShadowJK namedrops Objective C Aug 31 15:25:01 ShadowJK: cheap Smalltalk ripoff. Aug 31 15:25:43 I think everything has already been invented; it's just building a good implementation now. Aug 31 15:25:53 (that is, programming language wise) Aug 31 15:26:12 C++ should have GC Aug 31 15:26:22 C++ makes memory management so painful and complicated Aug 31 15:26:25 jacekowski: there's 'D' too. Aug 31 15:26:30 and exceptions make it even worse Aug 31 15:26:32 jacekowski: I don't think it's painful and complicated. Aug 31 15:26:41 because you would like to throw an exception Aug 31 15:26:46 jacekowski: how much code have you written in C++? Aug 31 15:26:49 but then cleaning up stuff Aug 31 15:26:50 fasta: a lot Aug 31 15:27:08 jacekowski: 100+KLOC? Aug 31 15:27:09 fasta: imagine simple code where you create few objects Aug 31 15:27:24 fasta: a lot more than that Aug 31 15:27:44 fasta: simple code, create few objects and any of those can fail Aug 31 15:27:52 as in, throw an exception Aug 31 15:28:04 so you have your exception handler Aug 31 15:28:14 but imagine cleaning up that stuff Aug 31 15:28:24 because it can fail at any moment Aug 31 15:28:31 it may have just created 10 objects Aug 31 15:29:00 it might have failed after nothing was allocated Aug 31 15:29:07 and you have to cater for that in your cleanup code Aug 31 15:29:28 jacekowski: I don't really see that as a problem as there are multiple solutions to that problem. Aug 31 15:29:52 yes, but nothing as easy as it's done in other languages Aug 31 15:30:20 IMO in C++ exceptions are half assed Aug 31 15:30:35 jacekowski: what would be the difference with any other language according to you? Aug 31 15:30:58 jacekowski: e.g. in Haskell it would be just 'no memory'=> out of memory exception and you lose basically all state, AFAIK. Aug 31 15:31:09 jacekowski: not exactly ideal. Aug 31 15:31:12 in c# cleanup would be handled by gc Aug 31 15:31:40 One could also wonder what one would like to cleanup. Aug 31 15:31:48 thing is, current implementation in C++ is just as good as no implementation in C Aug 31 15:31:57 you still have to handle everything manualy Aug 31 15:32:19 fasta: those objects that have been allocated but are not going to be used because something failed few lines down Aug 31 15:32:43 anyways Aug 31 15:32:45 i'm going home Aug 31 15:33:00 jacekowski: that is why you'd better allocate on stack ;) Aug 31 15:33:12 stack has limited size Aug 31 15:33:13 freemangordon: stacks are not infinite either. Aug 31 15:33:31 yeah, I know that Aug 31 15:33:48 I doubt many people measure exactly how much stack they use. Aug 31 15:33:59 That is, that they can give a precise upperbound on stack depth. Aug 31 15:34:14 And, AFAIK, if you go beyond it, your C++ program will just crash. Aug 31 15:34:25 Or perhaps it's 'implemented defined'. Aug 31 15:34:33 Either way, it won't work everywhere. Aug 31 15:34:45 I think such programming languages are rather short term sighted. Aug 31 15:35:04 Programming is nothing but managing sets of information using theorems in the end to speed up things. Aug 31 15:35:18 Note that nowhere there was a 'stack' or a 'heap' mentioned here. Aug 31 15:36:28 ATS formalized libc preconditions and post conditions. Aug 31 15:36:52 As such, you can write a kind of OCaml with C speed. Aug 31 15:36:57 (and OCaml safety) Aug 31 15:37:24 If everyone would use that, there would be no 0-day exploits, no 'security bulletins' and other nonsense. Aug 31 15:37:24 well, stach objects are cleaned up by the compiler in the exception handler Aug 31 15:37:31 *stack Aug 31 15:38:00 Humans seem to have this nasty habit of creating problems. Aug 31 15:38:18 Actually solving a problem is something they like to avoid for as long as possible. Aug 31 15:38:43 anyway, using new and malloc is bad idea, see firefox if you don't trust me :D Aug 31 15:39:06 freemangordon: are you saying they mixed it? Aug 31 15:39:20 freemangordon: i.e. free something created with new? Aug 31 15:39:26 no Aug 31 15:39:43 freemangordon: well, otherwise there is no escaping it. Aug 31 15:39:50 freemangordon: because they use C libraries too. Aug 31 15:39:55 they do new/delete and malloc/free, but the end result is an awful memory fragmentation Aug 31 15:41:01 well, actually FF uses its own MM, but still Aug 31 15:49:36 freemangordon: stilll what? Aug 31 15:50:05 freemangordon: if they have their own MM, I don't see why there still would be a problem. Aug 31 15:50:27 freemangordon: because they can even track memory patterns and based on that relocate memory. Aug 31 15:50:36 freemangordon: anything can be done if you control it, which they do. Aug 31 15:50:46 As such, that part of Firefox isn't stupid. Aug 31 15:51:11 There are some other part of software development @ Mozilla which are stupid, but I think they are even working on that. Aug 31 15:51:51 fasta: still dynamic memory allocation (from heap) should be used with care, there are lots of occasions where a simple static array (or object) will perform much better than a pile of new/delete. Aug 31 15:52:08 freemangordon: in fact, in all cases that will perform better. Aug 31 15:52:30 freemangordon: except, the problem is that you don't want to use a gazillion GB of memory. Aug 31 15:52:53 freemangordon: which is why malloc was invented in the first place. Aug 31 15:53:16 I didn't mean faster, that is clear, I meant better from memory management POV Aug 31 15:53:20 If you are going to program a battleship, then you do want to have everything statically allocated. Aug 31 15:53:29 sure Aug 31 15:53:37 For a web-browser, not so much. Aug 31 15:56:10 fasta: my point was, that sometimes objects are dynamically allocated with no reason for that Aug 31 15:56:30 freemangordon: well, then you are per definition right :) Aug 31 16:00:45 fasta: I have the feeling that most of the developers feel bad if the don't use dynamic allocations, most probably because of historical reasons :). i.e. if you don't use that cool new "malloc", you are old-fashined. I hope you get what I mean. The opposite for using goto ;) Aug 31 16:13:35 fasta: what about web browsers *on* battleships? Aug 31 16:25:01 kerio: on a completely different physical network. Aug 31 16:25:20 that sounds inefficient Aug 31 16:25:30 i want gecko to run on my battlecruiser! Aug 31 16:26:19 kerio: proving Firefox to be completely secure seems harder than building a battlecruiser. Aug 31 16:26:43 battlecruisers aren't very secure either Aug 31 16:26:50 they've got tons of weapons Aug 31 16:26:56 they're really dangerous! Aug 31 16:27:16 kerio: battle cruisers aren't really dangerous anymore. Aug 31 16:27:23 kerio: because they are obsolete. Aug 31 16:27:29 hm Aug 31 16:27:37 well i suppose that it depends on which kind of battlecruiser Aug 31 16:27:45 http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Battlecruiser_%28StarCraft_II%29 Aug 31 16:28:00 300 damage for 125 energy, fuck yeah Aug 31 16:28:29 I wonder what would happen if you win a starcraft LAN party by punching the other guy in the face. Aug 31 16:28:38 Or are there rules against that? Aug 31 16:29:10 MMA Starcraft. Aug 31 16:41:41 fasta: irrelevant, sc2 doesn't have LAN Aug 31 16:42:08 kerio: I never mentioned sc2. Aug 31 16:42:31 fasta: irrelevant, you won't ever win a brood war LAN party Aug 31 16:42:39 unless you're alone Aug 31 16:42:48 hey, fun discussions in here Aug 31 16:43:06 DocScrutinizer05: we are trying to beat the off-topic record. Aug 31 16:43:19 btw, i should really try stargus on the n900 Aug 31 16:43:19 go ahead :-) Aug 31 16:43:30 DocScrutinizer05: nah, I was already done. Aug 31 16:43:46 Marbles on the n900 is quite a nice puzzle game, btw. Aug 31 16:44:02 the only game i have on the n900 is aisleriot :c Aug 31 16:44:08 It actually requires some thought if you don't use a computer to cheat. Aug 31 16:44:14 IRC OT isn't anything to worry about too much, since after all we want to get to know each other Aug 31 16:44:35 DocScrutinizer05: you haven't been in #ubuntu then. Aug 31 16:44:54 so OT is tolerated or even appreciated until somebody shouts Aug 31 16:44:56 DocScrutinizer05: or pretty much any other 'corporate' 'community' channel. Aug 31 16:45:24 I'm just quoting general freenode rules Aug 31 16:45:27 :-) Aug 31 16:45:46 I find that such a sad activity, btw. Either you are a company XOR community, not both. Aug 31 16:46:06 hmm? Aug 31 16:46:48 DocScrutinizer05: I mean companies trying to 'have a community'. Aug 31 16:46:54 I tied to be both, when I "did my time" at OM as senior EE. And both community and my boss appreciated it Aug 31 16:46:56 i'd say that OT is fine as long as it's not distracting an active discussion Aug 31 16:47:00 DocScrutinizer05: that's not how a community works. Aug 31 16:47:03 tried* Aug 31 16:47:05 channel is silent => OT is fine Aug 31 16:48:06 DocScrutinizer05: I think the main failure is to act as someone with power over others. Aug 31 16:48:14 fasta: obviously companies often haven't thought about their own role Aug 31 16:48:26 DocScrutinizer05: i.e., you are not part of the community then, you are just a tyrant. Aug 31 16:48:42 That's the usual role which companies give themselves. Aug 31 16:48:44 a community may have a favourite company, but no company ever has a community Aug 31 16:48:52 DocScrutinizer05: right Aug 31 16:49:41 and #maemo's favourite company is nokia! Aug 31 16:49:45 IOW community >> company Aug 31 16:50:20 DocScrutinizer05: well, nowadays, some companies make things which no community can make. Aug 31 16:50:29 DocScrutinizer05: e.g. an Intel CPU. Aug 31 16:50:36 though OTOH community often approaches companies with insane demands, that no company could ever satisfy. Aug 31 16:51:07 DocScrutinizer05: I have no doubt that the software side of an Intel CPU can be done by a community. Aug 31 16:51:26 s/done/done better/ Aug 31 16:51:43 a community won't lock you out of features that *are in the hardware* Aug 31 16:51:43 But the hardware part, I don't see how that's going to happen unless we get some other hardware which allows us to program physical matter. Aug 31 16:52:00 fasta: fpga? :) Aug 31 16:52:02 fasta: I just say i'm an anarchist more than anything else. In the best historical sense. Nothing more to say about relation between community and companies, and my position in that game Aug 31 16:52:03 or maybe a 3d printer Aug 31 16:52:09 kerio: that's slower than an Intel CPU. Aug 31 16:52:25 just overclock the shit out of it Aug 31 16:52:26 kerio: (for executing single-threaded code, that is) Aug 31 16:52:44 is it still offtopic time? Aug 31 16:52:57 DocScrutinizer05: also the anarcho-capitalistic kind or another kind? Aug 31 16:53:00 jon_y: until someone has something more related to say Aug 31 16:53:14 anarcho-syndicalism Aug 31 16:53:20 kerio: 3d printers create much larger features. Aug 31 16:53:24 ok, I just encountered SAN loss when looking at some perl code today Aug 31 16:53:37 DocScrutinizer05: how exactly is that different? Aug 31 16:53:38 use a 3d printer to build a more precise 3d printer Aug 31 16:53:46 old script was working for years, written by some one else Aug 31 16:53:56 dunno, as an anarchist I don't really care ;-D Aug 31 16:54:01 kerio: recursion doesn't work like that. Aug 31 16:54:05 when I took a look at it, WTF MY EYES ARE BURNING Aug 31 16:54:15 jon_y: weird, that's the same reaction i get from *any* perl code Aug 31 16:54:28 kerio: no this is cthulhu level Aug 31 16:54:42 perl is cthulhu level Aug 31 16:55:23 why is it checking that two scalar is not *0* and not a digit, AND THEN subtract them with each other Aug 31 16:55:37 the hell that supposed to mean Aug 31 16:56:17 ($str1 - $str2) / $str2 * 100.0 Aug 31 16:56:24 yep, SAN loss Aug 31 16:56:37 DocScrutinizer05: it seems about the same. Aug 31 16:57:23 DocScrutinizer05: what bothers me is that there is no political party which proposes these kinds of ideas. Aug 31 16:57:31 sad thing is that I run the risk of being fired for pointing this out, since it has worked for years Aug 31 16:57:44 DocScrutinizer05: or well, I suppose there is one, but they are against nuclear power. Aug 31 16:58:33 things broke when perl was updated Aug 31 16:58:56 fixing bad code can cause PROMOTIONS Aug 31 16:59:20 jon_y: well, I'm not feeling too comfortable with any political party, or with politics in general Aug 31 16:59:36 DocScrutinizer05: sure, but in reality you still have to deal with them. Aug 31 16:59:46 a true pity Aug 31 16:59:56 DocScrutinizer05: I think lunar bases, etc. might put an end to that at some point. Aug 31 17:00:03 hehe Aug 31 17:00:19 DocScrutinizer05: me neither, I just told the original maintainer how bad the current code is and tried to fix things Aug 31 17:00:24 now I feel sad Aug 31 17:01:24 I also had a Perl dependency. Aug 31 17:01:36 Then it broken, I told the maintainer it was broken. Aug 31 17:01:53 He said he would at some point look at it, so I replaced it with a different, more stable language. Aug 31 17:02:01 Language/API. Aug 31 17:02:13 And I lived happily every after. Aug 31 17:02:19 ever* Aug 31 17:02:46 I rewrote the Cthulhu part into something what I thought the original author was trying to convey Aug 31 17:03:03 it was like reading an essay with butchered grammar Aug 31 17:03:05 Is Cthulhu a word like foobar? Aug 31 17:03:16 Or does it actually mean something? Aug 31 17:03:17 yeah, so bad it causes SAN loss Aug 31 17:03:48 basically bad code that is soo bad, how the f did it even work level Aug 31 17:04:25 most of the code in the world probably is like that Aug 31 17:04:30 yet it has worked for years, until somebody upgraded perl Aug 31 17:05:04 I blame the author for not using strict; Aug 31 17:05:21 jon_y: you should blame whoever decided to use that code in the first place. Aug 31 17:05:30 jon_y: which is not the author. Aug 31 17:05:59 Lots of open-source applications authors also respond in a very interesting way when you report a bug in their applications. Aug 31 17:06:09 They say "yeah, that's a bug in library foo, reassigning". Aug 31 17:06:11 the original guy is probably long dead :) Aug 31 17:06:29 Uhm, no, the application author decided to use that library, so it's his problem. Aug 31 17:06:42 no, it's not a library Aug 31 17:06:44 Of course, I am the original sucker. Aug 31 17:06:54 (for using the application in the first place) Aug 31 17:07:06 it was a utility script called and written by an application, probably by the same guy Aug 31 17:07:07 I can't wait for the day that all code is formally verified. Aug 31 17:07:16 No more broken software \o/ Aug 31 17:07:36 takes 5 years to write a hello world :) Aug 31 17:07:43 jon_y: no, it doesn't. Aug 31 17:07:48 also, lawyer fees Aug 31 17:07:51 jon_y: it's about 3 times more work. Aug 31 17:08:03 jon_y: when compared to just writing the code. Aug 31 17:08:11 jon_y: except then you don't need lots of unit tests. Aug 31 17:08:29 jon_y: and you know it works, not because you think it does, but because the computer tells you so. Aug 31 17:08:33 nah, I was thinking it becomes like civil engineering Aug 31 17:08:59 jon_y: civil engineering is much worse than what I envision. Aug 31 17:09:10 jon_y: do you know a civil engineer? Aug 31 17:09:23 no, I had a friend who was Aug 31 17:09:35 he stopped doing it Aug 31 17:09:38 jon_y: then he was either lying, or only doing simple things, or God. Aug 31 17:10:06 maybe Aug 31 17:10:38 In theory, you should be able to input two GPS coordinates, the constraints of the structure and get building plans out of it. Aug 31 17:10:51 I remember him mentioning all the paper work involved Aug 31 17:11:05 Civil engineering has failed as an industry because they haven't done that in the past 50 years. Aug 31 17:11:32 ? Aug 31 17:11:49 ~seen BCMM Aug 31 17:11:59 jon_y: a bridge and a building are just objects which can be computed. Aug 31 17:12:06 bcmm <~ben@unaffiliated/bcmm> was last seen on IRC in channel #debian, 9d 47m 4s ago, saying: 'berarma: yes, i know. i'm trying to work out what could do that'. Aug 31 17:12:17 jon_y: just like you can compute pretty much anythign else. Aug 31 17:12:41 I see where you're going with that Aug 31 17:12:42 jon_y: the work that civil engineers do is basically just applying rules all day long. Aug 31 17:13:09 jon_y: looking up some country specific rules is a big part of that. Aug 31 17:13:28 jon_y: finding numbers in tables, coming up with adhoc solutions to problems created by other human failure, etc. Aug 31 17:13:29 that's where all the lawyering comes in right? :) Aug 31 17:13:40 jon_y: the lawyering comes in when someone makes a mistake. Aug 31 17:13:41 *the country specific rules Aug 31 17:14:21 jon_y: also the true engineers are miles ahead of the contractors. Aug 31 17:14:47 jon_y: it's kind of like rocket scientists explaining to a cab driver how their engine works. Aug 31 17:14:56 jon_y: it's just a fundamentally bad idea. Aug 31 17:15:08 companies prefer contractors though, since they're cheaper Aug 31 17:15:20 jon_y: perhaps I used the wrong word. Aug 31 17:15:35 hmm ok Aug 31 17:15:39 jon_y: "general contractor" Aug 31 17:15:51 jon_y: does that mean something different for you? Aug 31 17:16:17 well, contractor for me means external vendor guys Aug 31 17:16:31 rather than in-house people Aug 31 17:17:17 jon_y: in the case of a building, a 'general contractor' is brought on. Aug 31 17:17:32 jon_y: his company traditionally bears all the risks. Aug 31 17:17:45 jon_y: for some lump sum of money to complete the job. Aug 31 17:18:03 jon_y: (i.e. building the building) Aug 31 17:18:05 ok, the guys that actually do the building Aug 31 17:18:20 guys out in the field Aug 31 17:18:32 jon_y: no, the company where those guys work. Aug 31 17:18:47 ok Aug 31 17:18:52 jon_y: they just compute how much something like that will cost, etc., bid on it and get the project. Aug 31 17:19:10 ok, so far sounds familiar Aug 31 17:19:28 jon_y: but those guys generally are not involved all day long with details of the building they are going to create which an engineering firm does have. Aug 31 17:19:43 jon_y: as such, there is a large gap in knowledge between the two. Aug 31 17:20:08 they just get the instructions right? Aug 31 17:20:21 jon_y: that's not really how it works these days anymore. Aug 31 17:20:46 jon_y: sometimes they do, but it will always be incomplete. Aug 31 17:20:54 s/instructions/plans/ Aug 31 17:20:54 jon_y meant: they just get the plans right? Aug 31 17:21:08 jon_y: not even that all the time. Aug 31 17:21:17 partial if more than one involved? Aug 31 17:22:00 jon_y: more often and often it's just a matter of saying 'we want to be able to put vehicles of this weight at this speed on that bridge, we want a 50 year warranty, now you go and build it'. Aug 31 17:22:41 that is from the civil engineering firm? Aug 31 17:22:43 jon_y: slightly simplified, but more and more it's 'what', not 'how'. Aug 31 17:23:03 jon_y: no, the civil engineering firm is usually hired by the general contractor. Aug 31 17:23:15 aha, I got it backwards all this time Aug 31 17:24:06 jon_y: in this case, the general contractor might find during construction that some fatal design failure was in some plan. Aug 31 17:24:17 jon_y: this now has to be solved. Aug 31 17:24:50 jon_y: at that point, the general contractor wants to continue the projects ASAP, but the engineering firm has to somehow compute things correctly. Aug 31 17:25:05 jon_y: which for difficult problems can take a longish time. Aug 31 17:25:35 jon_y: but the explanations of the engineering firm might at this point go over the head of the general contractor's company. Aug 31 17:25:45 jon_y: because traditionally, that wasn't their job. Aug 31 17:26:05 jon_y: to make things worse, the engineering firm is not actually liable in many cases. Aug 31 17:26:36 jon_y: (which was the point I was trying to make earlier) Aug 31 17:26:43 jon_y: in case you were wondering where I was going. Aug 31 17:27:19 I think so Aug 31 17:28:01 sounds like a company too big to communicate effectively Aug 31 17:28:21 jon_y: no, the fundamental problem is not this one company. Aug 31 17:28:50 jon_y: the problem is that one party should be responsible for the entire construction and ideally no human thought would enter the process. Aug 31 17:29:21 jon_y: i.e., a compiler from two gps coordinates, a list of formal strenght requirements, to actual stepper motor actions of a collection of robots. Aug 31 17:29:57 jon_y: if civil engineering people had actually been problem solving they would have developed something like that. Aug 31 17:30:14 jon_y: but instead, they opted for some process still involving people. Aug 31 17:30:23 (which is why buildings still collapse) Aug 31 17:30:43 I guess with all the varied architecture, they wouldn't trust a fully computed model Aug 31 17:30:55 or so feel that way Aug 31 17:31:13 jon_y: every calculation is done by computers anyway, it's just that it still has to be designed now. Aug 31 17:32:05 so if the engineering firm does a crap job, things fall apart quickly Aug 31 17:32:29 I think you could probably bankrupt a company, by just hacking into their computers and modifying parameters, such that all their current projects fail after two years. Aug 31 17:32:43 (which is why computer security is an important subject) Aug 31 17:33:04 I doubt anyone would notice. Aug 31 17:33:49 The computer has become their little black box of wisdom. Aug 31 17:33:55 Nobody cares anymore how something works. Aug 31 17:34:04 due to the momentum at which the place I work at has, all change is frowned upon :( Aug 31 17:34:15 feels bad when pointing out flaws Aug 31 17:34:48 I might just go job hunting as an insurance Aug 31 17:35:03 jon_y: you could jobhunt anyway. Aug 31 17:35:14 jon_y: it doesn't sound like the most inspiring location ever. Aug 31 17:35:43 inspiring locations seem to be rare Aug 31 17:36:36 Is there an easy way to make a slideshow for the background image in diablo or is there already an app for it? Aug 31 17:37:34 esaym153: maemo sort of has live wallpapers Aug 31 17:37:59 I think it's GL based, so prepare for battery life propblems Aug 31 17:39:22 jon_y: that sinks, there should be a way just to randomly display an image every so often? Aug 31 17:39:46 not sure about that, sorry Aug 31 17:41:09 did someone try to port sauerbraten/red eclipse/cube2 to maemo? Aug 31 17:45:01 fasta: computer security is also lacking where I work Aug 31 17:45:17 jon_y: computer security is lacking everywhere. Aug 31 17:45:30 really, tainted system() calls with setuid() Aug 31 17:45:56 just add ;/bin/bash for account hijack Aug 31 17:45:59 I am 100% sure, that it's possible to attack any standard system and exploit it in some way.; Aug 31 17:46:06 every bank is insecure, it's the bloated legal system trying to fight against that sort of crime Aug 31 17:46:12 And you can probably do it for less than 200K$. Aug 31 17:46:16 more like they're not even trying Aug 31 17:46:30 HAM doesn't ask for a password before installing stuff Aug 31 17:47:15 does it accept any arbitrary commands from the CLI? Aug 31 17:47:40 2M$ for the keys to every important system in the world seems awfully cheap. Aug 31 17:47:52 I.e., keeping wiretaps on diplomats, etc. Aug 31 17:47:55 jon_y: they don't have to try because they think they can sue criminals Aug 31 17:47:58 or so they think Aug 31 17:48:10 :) Aug 31 17:48:19 lartza_: well, they can, can't they? Aug 31 17:48:36 not if the criminal is bigger than them Aug 31 17:48:36 meanwhile clever criminals make fortunes Aug 31 17:48:48 like the NSA :) Aug 31 17:48:53 in the insecurity business Aug 31 17:49:14 lartza_: you should reall elaborate. Aug 31 17:49:18 really* Aug 31 17:50:06 I think I know how you can bankrupt a bank in theory. Aug 31 17:50:20 But I don't see how you can at the same time extract money in the process. Aug 31 17:50:36 I could dig up a dozen of account passwords by looking into a sudo account ~/.subversion, since they made the client store passwords Aug 31 17:51:22 sadly none of them can understand the problem of using system() on svn which stores passwords on a sudo account Aug 31 17:52:22 since it has been going on for so long, the IT department can't remove it without breaking CRITICAL ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS Aug 31 17:53:16 fasta: well I haven't learned the details of that, but it's hard not to think that with the insecure computing we have everywhere there weren't serious business over there Aug 31 17:53:27 said systems written with a monster mash of Java/tcl/tcsh/Perl code Aug 31 17:54:13 lartza_: oh well, perhaps I do know a way in which it could be done. Aug 31 17:56:44 fasta: i suspect there is a shitload of virtual currency routed illegally without no-one noticing Aug 31 17:57:01 nor getting caught Aug 31 17:57:03 lartza_: virtual currency, sure. Aug 31 17:57:13 lartza_: not actual currency. Aug 31 17:57:24 reroute to location where it is Aug 31 17:57:36 lartza_: you are talking about bitcoins, linden dollars, etc., right? Aug 31 17:58:14 In a technical sense, the banking system is obsolete. Aug 31 17:58:16 no i mean real money in digital form Aug 31 17:58:30 lartza_: I am not sure how nobody would notice that. Aug 31 17:58:56 lartza_: everyone keeps track of their own assets. Aug 31 17:59:26 lartza_: there are all kinds of reporting systems. Aug 31 17:59:58 lartza_: unless you hack the entire infrastructure, prolonged hacking would probably not work. Aug 31 18:01:09 everyone does not keep track of their own assets Aug 31 18:01:19 in fact most have "random loss of assets" Aug 31 18:01:32 and don't really care unless it's too much Aug 31 18:04:06 lartza_: o.O Aug 31 18:04:37 lartza_: I suppose there are other subtle ways to make them lose money. Aug 31 18:04:46 lartza_: you can for example hack into their trading systems. Aug 31 18:04:57 lartza_: and just show them wrong news Aug 31 18:05:07 lartza_: or show them wrong prices. Aug 31 18:05:27 lartza_: anyway, if you cannot trust your machine anymore, there is no civilization left. Aug 31 18:05:57 Which is basically why I said that computer security is perhaps too important to be left to a bunch of people who really don't know what they are doing. Aug 31 18:06:35 Speaking of which, does a Lumia complete failure imply that Nokia goes bankrupt? Aug 31 18:07:21 prolly Aug 31 18:07:36 Or is there some hypothetical universe in which they will build a modern n900 afterwards? Aug 31 18:08:16 It's kind of amazing that such a huge company can be decimated in two years or so. Aug 31 18:08:17 (security) the problem are self-assigned experts who think they know what's best for $everybody Aug 31 18:08:55 DocScrutinizer05: no, the problem is that people listen to those people. Aug 31 18:09:04 (n900 in parallel universe) probably theer's such a universe, but nobody has found the gate yet Aug 31 18:09:08 DocScrutinizer05: or none at all Aug 31 18:09:22 nobody takes security seriously anymore :( Aug 31 18:09:43 If all application development happened in an interactive theorem prover, I just don't see how that's going to be insecure. Aug 31 18:09:50 after all, it's agile agile agile Aug 31 18:09:58 oooh, those experts do. just they neglect the joe avarage user's needs Aug 31 18:10:41 see HARM Aug 31 18:10:49 amd ~aegis Aug 31 18:11:35 DocScrutinizer05: http://www.cenzic.com/technology/harm-score/index.html ? Aug 31 18:11:36 dedicated to content providers much more than end user needs Aug 31 18:11:42 DocScrutinizer05: that sounds like a bad joke. Aug 31 18:11:54 ~aegis Aug 31 18:11:58 http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Harmattan:Developer_Library/Developing_for_Harmattan/Harmattan_security/Security_guide , or "The purpose of this framework is: ... to make sure that the platform meets the requirements set by third party software that requires a safe execution environment.", or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing#Criticism, or http://en.qi-hardware.com/w/images/1/10/ME_382_LockedUpTechnology2.gif Aug 31 18:13:05 those security experts assraped by management and not even realizing Aug 31 18:13:56 Windows8 also sounds like a nightmare. Aug 31 18:14:16 It's hard to believe anyone would even want that. Aug 31 18:14:34 I watched a few videos on Youtube and they managed to make their UI worse. Aug 31 18:15:05 One guy gave the OS to his father to let him use it and he recorded his actions. Aug 31 18:15:07 you can disable the "tablet UI" and have the same UI from Windows 7 Aug 31 18:15:13 and I'd want W8. Aug 31 18:15:15 definitely Aug 31 18:15:24 well, the product managers found a nice fairy tale to fool devels into thinking TPM/aegis is something with a huge(!) ebnefit to end suer Aug 31 18:15:26 user Aug 31 18:15:34 Sc0rpius: but you cannot develop your own run-time system. Aug 31 18:15:57 heh, DocScrutinizer05 made a new word, ebenefit Aug 31 18:15:59 I wonder why would I want that :) Aug 31 18:16:01 Sc0rpius: for some things you will have to ask MS's permission to do things on your own machine. Aug 31 18:16:08 ebnefit Aug 31 18:16:09 like what for example? Aug 31 18:16:30 wasn't the Windows 8 UI mandatory? Aug 31 18:16:42 they removed the option to disable it in the rtm iirc Aug 31 18:16:43 Sc0rpius: http://www.itwriting.com/blog/6347-third-party-compilers-locked-out-of-windows-runtime-development.html Aug 31 18:16:56 W8 UI for desktops is exactly the same as the W7. Aug 31 18:17:04 the horrible W8 UI is only intended for tablets Aug 31 18:17:10 except no start menu? Aug 31 18:17:18 I have start menu in the W8 preview Aug 31 18:18:13 Sc0rpius: like playing with your won device's notification LED. Considered "dangerous" so no app pkg gets tokens to access that, even while API is stable and defined and existing Aug 31 18:18:15 How much does it even cost for NOK to create a new phone model? Aug 31 18:18:26 s/won(own/ Aug 31 18:18:30 I doubt it's more than 10M dollar. Aug 31 18:18:59 Sc0rpius: it has metro ui integrated and changes. but i don't care anyway Aug 31 18:19:20 i use win7 for few apps for school :p so wouldn't even think to update Aug 31 18:19:34 fasta: something around that, +- one digit Aug 31 18:19:43 well WinRT is for Metro Aug 31 18:20:04 DocScrutinizer05: put that's almost nothing compared to the amount of cash they still have. Aug 31 18:20:06 W7 is my main system Aug 31 18:20:08 but* Aug 31 18:20:26 DocScrutinizer05: but perhaps they need that, to fire everyone ;) Aug 31 18:20:26 this xchat runs in a Xubuntu on a VMWare full screen in 2nd monitor of my W7 host Aug 31 18:20:45 I need both OS at the same time Aug 31 18:20:52 use irssi instead :) Aug 31 18:21:02 console UI is best UI Aug 31 18:21:02 fasta: agreed. bit having a working hw doesn't mean a thing, unless you get support from a working sw development ecosystem Aug 31 18:21:14 hell no Aug 31 18:21:53 DocScrutinizer05: but there's lots of open-source ways to manage software and writing a few drivers for such a device also cannot be that hard for NOK, since they did it a million times already. Aug 31 18:21:58 you know back in 1990 when EFnet was few months old the only IRC client was ircii Aug 31 18:22:01 and that was a nightmare Aug 31 18:22:07 I wouldn't want another console IRC client. Aug 31 18:22:17 I'm leaving for now, getting some pretty nice dinner, then let sonme apes shoot at me with 9mm Aug 31 18:22:28 I've been using irssi for more than a year, no problems Aug 31 18:22:46 DocScrutinizer05: sonme apes? Aug 31 18:22:52 some apes* Aug 31 18:23:01 also, irssi scripts to annoy other users Aug 31 18:23:07 DocScrutinizer05: sound like fun, be sure to post it on YT. Aug 31 18:23:24 well jon_y you must be one of those guys that the only open window it has in its X server is a terminal window with lots of tabs :P Aug 31 18:23:32 another X server wasted :P Aug 31 18:23:41 nope, no X at all Aug 31 18:23:55 just screen(1) Aug 31 18:23:59 hehehe Aug 31 18:24:01 fasta: "some monkeys" and yes, there's been my suggestion to Nokia to ship new devices with winX "for idiots", and proper board support package for linux geeks Aug 31 18:24:25 seems Nokia doesn't see the business model in it Aug 31 18:24:36 DocScrutinizer05: they should look at the history of Lego. Aug 31 18:24:53 fasta: what was in lego history? Aug 31 18:25:02 ZogG_laptop: they almost went bankrupt. Aug 31 18:25:18 ZogG_laptop: there was some community of people adding electronics and stuff to their stuff. Aug 31 18:25:33 ZogG_laptop: they wanted to forbid it, I believe. Aug 31 18:25:55 ZogG_laptop: then someone told them they should instead help that community. Aug 31 18:26:06 probably MS is stopping them from supporting Linux Aug 31 18:26:11 ZogG_laptop: so, instead of building cheap toys they went on to create expensive adult toys. Aug 31 18:26:13 fasta: i hope sony would bankrupt with playstatons :P Aug 31 18:26:26 ZogG_laptop: and afterwards Lego pretty much rocked. Aug 31 18:26:29 jon_y: Elop is Ms :P Aug 31 18:26:41 more or less Aug 31 18:27:26 The best companies reinvent what they do depending on market conditions. Aug 31 18:27:38 actually my last post might have been one of the best suggestions to random phone hw manufacturers since last 10 years. The problem is nobody listens (at least none of the money peppersacks) Aug 31 18:27:55 DocScrutinizer05: post or message here on IRC? Aug 31 18:28:06 beancounter department says no Aug 31 18:28:15 I gave up like 5 years ago Aug 31 18:28:54 big busines ==big busines ==big busines ==idiots with no clue Aug 31 18:29:13 +sss Aug 31 18:29:19 If there would be no patents to worry about, I would likely want to fund part of a n900 like modern phone business myself. Aug 31 18:29:27 '' Aug 31 18:29:43 hi SpeedEvil my friend Aug 31 18:29:55 Patents make it insane. Aug 31 18:29:56 hey. Aug 31 18:30:15 Patents are another reason for lunar bases. Aug 31 18:30:33 SpeedEvil: leaving LTS business at STE today :-S Aug 31 18:30:36 If you make a foundation which makes mobile phones, then there are no patent issues, right? Aug 31 18:30:45 :/ Aug 31 18:30:48 LTE* ? Aug 31 18:31:15 fasta: just because you call it a foundation does not avoid patent issues. Aug 31 18:31:42 Lawyer Apocalypse :) Aug 31 18:31:57 STE too big to move *anything* Aug 31 18:32:00 think zombie apocalypse, except with lawyes Aug 31 18:32:02 You can only make patented items for evaluation of the patent. You cannot profit from them in any way - even if it's for example to make your life easier, with no actual monetary profit Aug 31 18:32:27 SpeedEvil: but foundations don't make profits. Aug 31 18:32:38 couldn't even make them rethink their policy about GPLing *one* file needed for MALI400 Aug 31 18:32:38 Revenues, not profits. Aug 31 18:32:56 sell phone at a loss to profit from batteries? :) Aug 31 18:33:04 dm8tbr will tell you details Aug 31 18:33:11 DocScrutinizer05: :/ Aug 31 18:33:16 tripple bladed phone Aug 31 18:33:18 indeed Aug 31 18:33:36 http://www.mauve.plus.com/opensourcehw.txt - issues around open source hw Aug 31 18:33:47 I think I saw quite some positive lumia reviews on Amazon; are those all fake? Aug 31 18:34:07 does it read ++++ Would Buy Again? :) Aug 31 18:34:13 Which has as the consequence you need several million in startup funding. Aug 31 18:34:14 STE interested in Samsung, RIM, Nokia... you name it. "FOSS?? WTF is that?" Aug 31 18:35:07 The silly part is that back in time, before the breakup of IBM, opensource software, and vendors that accepted patches were common. Aug 31 18:35:08 google snowball, novathor, ril300 (obsolete) Aug 31 18:36:24 fasta: what's the use of positive hooker reviews? Aug 31 18:36:47 DocScrutinizer05: none, they only drive up price. Aug 31 18:37:10 DocScrutinizer05: and I suppose there is a reputation element involved. Aug 31 18:37:27 DocScrutinizer05: but it would make more economic sense to trade those reviews. Aug 31 18:37:36 N9 and as well hooker are pretty good hw (kudos to me EE colleagues). But doesn't help conquer the future Aug 31 18:38:22 since OS sucks Aug 31 18:39:05 (my personal despise of devices without hw kbd left aside) Aug 31 18:39:44 DocScrutinizer05: moving on from STE, or moving internally? Aug 31 18:39:59 away from STE Aug 31 18:40:08 just in time ;-P Aug 31 18:40:40 hope something *really* interesting (like jolla) is ahead Aug 31 18:41:14 DocScrutinizer05: is it possible to invest in Jolla in some way? Aug 31 18:41:41 Not at the moment. Aug 31 18:42:01 that's a good question. Seems like they got scared by public reception Aug 31 18:42:27 (and they still would need to explain whether there is any money left after all the patents they will surely hit) Aug 31 18:43:01 I offered a business contract nobody could decline. Got no response Aug 31 18:43:19 DocScrutinizer05: you wanted to help them for cost of living/free? Aug 31 18:43:32 like "100 bucks a month for being aboard and taking care" Aug 31 18:44:25 reading all the frigging emails. commenting on them. signing all the NDAs in blood Aug 31 18:44:32 :/ Aug 31 18:44:36 ...no response :-S Aug 31 18:44:49 I wonder if they've got a team moved whole from nokia Aug 31 18:44:59 DocScrutinizer05: for stock, or just for the opportunity? Aug 31 18:45:09 sorry? Aug 31 18:45:29 DocScrutinizer05: 'being aboard' can mean a lot of things. Aug 31 18:46:26 well, for me it meant "sign NDA, get email account, get access to internal servers holding schematics so I could review... etc pp" Aug 31 18:47:16 if they want me to take responsibility for anything, that's another negotiation Aug 31 18:47:45 dunno, maybe they are just (too) slow Aug 31 18:48:15 DocScrutinizer05: you could try sending them a physical letter? Aug 31 18:48:21 I'm vacant since today. No better opportunity to get me sign whatever contract Aug 31 18:48:41 DocScrutinizer05: what did you do yesterday? Aug 31 18:48:43 fasta: meh! we're living in internet age Aug 31 18:48:59 DocScrutinizer05: or send them a fax. Aug 31 18:49:06 DocScrutinizer05: they wouldn't know what hit them! Aug 31 18:49:19 yesterday I shreddered LTE datasheets about novathor Aug 31 18:49:49 DocScrutinizer05: I mean were you an employee somewhere? If so where? Aug 31 18:50:02 google novathor Aug 31 18:50:40 or simply read backscroll Aug 31 18:58:23 DocScrutinizer05: that only tells me what novathor is, that there are two companies involved, which could have any number of clients, of which you might be one, but perhaps you worked at Ericsson then? Aug 31 18:58:51 s/you/the company you worked for/ Aug 31 18:58:53 fasta meant: DocScrutinizer05: that only tells me what novathor is, that there are two companies involved, which could have any number of clients, of which the company you worked for might be one, but perhaps you worked at Ericsson then? Aug 31 18:59:46 fasta: yep, I worked at Ericsoon Aug 31 19:00:23 DocScrutinizer05: so, you decided to go? Aug 31 19:00:45 datacom, responsible for low level hw interface drivers and associated stuff Aug 31 19:01:26 fasta: I'm not allowed to talk about it, but I may tell it wasn't my decission and I'm not alone Aug 31 19:01:37 DocScrutinizer05: do you also guess about things on the hardware side when things go wrong? Aug 31 19:01:54 fasta: I'm EE Aug 31 19:01:59 DocScrutinizer05: ok Aug 31 19:02:09 and vacant ATM Aug 31 19:02:14 ~joerg Aug 31 19:02:15 hmm... joerg is a HW-developer and engineer of Openmoko, usually known as DocScrutinizer Aug 31 19:02:30 ~docscrutinizer Aug 31 19:02:31 i heard docscrutinizer is jOERG, a HW-developer and engineer of Openmoko Aug 31 19:02:43 DocScrutinizer05: sorry to hear that then. Good luck finding something fitting in any case. Aug 31 19:02:59 I'm still hoping for jolla Aug 31 19:03:20 DocScrutinizer05: ah, so it's more of way to entertain you then? Aug 31 19:03:35 besides I got an employment here with some errr. consulting office Aug 31 19:04:22 I'm more happy to do fun jobs I know I can excel, rather than monkey business Aug 31 19:05:19 my absolute competence is in reviewing system architecture at large, schematics, and lead teams on a technical level Aug 31 19:06:15 and sometimes I got hybris to think I could deal with communtity until some estel guy comes bitching at me Aug 31 21:05:28 gawd. Aug 31 21:20:27 where? Aug 31 21:29:57 DocScrutinizer05: you have all my feels Aug 31 21:32:38 DocScrutinizer05: did anyone unban him btw? Aug 31 21:32:39 :P Aug 31 21:33:00 nope Aug 31 21:33:15 DocScrutinizer05: why lcuk is banned? Aug 31 21:33:39 because that's a procy of a loved dead perosn Aug 31 21:33:52 he asked for it? Aug 31 21:33:58 proxy of a loved dead person* Aug 31 21:35:15 lcuk left this game stage. Nobody knows if voluntarily or by a childish mood or an accident Aug 31 21:35:50 i was shoked when i found out Aug 31 21:35:53 he was ncie guy Aug 31 21:36:05 and what u mean by accident? Aug 31 21:36:12 we all miss him, and we feel bad seeing a 'bot' impersonating him Aug 31 21:36:19 his child was born just before, right? Aug 31 21:36:29 right Aug 31 21:37:14 =( Aug 31 21:38:40 I mean nobody got the whole story except his wife Aug 31 21:38:43 :c Aug 31 21:38:56 damn, i didn't kno Aug 31 21:38:56 w Aug 31 21:39:30 ...unsurprisingly, there's a related xkcd: http://xkcd.com/686/ Aug 31 21:39:51 so we just think of him with love and warm feelings and hope he entered a better stage of the never ending game Aug 31 21:40:35 when did that happen? Aug 31 21:40:56 over a year ago Aug 31 21:41:42 lcuk been one of our most honoured members Aug 31 21:42:01 he was kind and with real spirit of help Aug 31 21:42:07 always nice to people Aug 31 21:42:14 it realy hurt everybody except the noobs Aug 31 21:42:44 goddammit, i used to hang out in #liqbase too Aug 31 21:42:52 yeah Aug 31 21:42:54 or whatever the channel for that was, i can't even remember :/ Aug 31 21:43:08 as i say a lot lately, i miss old #maemo a lot. not only people and mood. but time it self Aug 31 21:43:13 now we have estels Aug 31 21:43:28 not really, you guys banned him Aug 31 21:43:31 >:D Aug 31 21:43:44 kerio: but look how quite it is :P Aug 31 21:44:02 damn, sometimes I feel so tired of all that Aug 31 21:44:11 http://www.adventuresofadamnfool.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/quite.jpeg Aug 31 21:44:58 i'm still interested how many people donated for N900 mod :p as maemo may die soon with all the Nokia situation(hosting and stuff) and still no even small preview or prove of concept Aug 31 21:45:09 n900 mod? Aug 31 21:45:11 FOSS once been a community of nerds Aug 31 21:45:14 oh, estel_'s?
