| 18:06.49 | fishhead | I don't know if I told you before but |
| 18:07.11 | fishhead | you guys made me proud early this year when you told the EU to shove their constitution up their ass |
| 18:07.32 | fishhead | :D |
| 18:50.38 | jbevren | MPAA demands $600,000 from 67 year old senior |
| 18:50.50 | jbevren | for -one- movie he owns |
| 18:51.43 | fishhead | hahaha |
| 18:52.00 | jbevren | or rather, one movie his grandson owns |
| 18:52.10 | jbevren | remember, buying a dvd doesnt mean you own it |
| 18:52.50 | prpplague | jbevren: ? |
| 18:52.58 | prpplague | jbevren: where did you see that headline? |
| 18:53.37 | jbevren | http://www.betanews.com/article/MPAA_Sues_Grandfather_for_600000/1130957894 |
| 18:53.46 | jbevren | Fred Lawrence, 67, of Racine says that his 12-year-old grandson apparently downloaded four movies from the P2P file service iMesh in December 2004. He was sent a warning and fine of $4000 to be paid in full for this crime. |
| 18:53.48 | jbevren | After communication with the MPAA he pleaded naive but the MPAA being who they are wanted to make an example of him and decided that this was not good enough. After he did not pay the $4000 requested he was sent a fine for $600,000. |
| 18:53.59 | jbevren | (article summary from suprnova.org) |
| 18:56.48 | prpplague | jeeze |
| 18:56.55 | prpplague | mpaa is so full of morons |
| 18:57.19 | jbevren | they rank right up there with aol |
| 19:00.53 | jbevren | When the story was picked up by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the MPAA told the paper it was not asking for "anyone's sympathy" and did not care what the public thinks about its tactics. |
| 19:00.59 | jbevren | in other words |
| 19:01.05 | jbevren | you dont like it? Screw off. We pwn. |
| 19:01.18 | jbevren | so when do the monopoly lawsuits start? |
| 19:01.25 | jbevren | oh, right.. they own most of congress and the courts too |
| 19:02.54 | fishhead | well I already said |
| 19:03.04 | fishhead | if my republican brothers vote for this analog hole closing |
| 19:03.08 | fishhead | i will vote straight democrat |
| 19:03.57 | fishhead | and I will write on my ballat "THIS IS FOR BILL XXXXXXX ASSHOLE" |
| 19:08.59 | jbevren | you can vote democrat |
| 19:08.59 | jbevren | it wont matter |
| 19:09.03 | jbevren | because the voting system is inherently republican |
| 19:09.08 | jbevren | our votes dont count |
| 19:09.12 | jbevren | electoral votes count |
| 19:09.35 | jbevren | our votes are weighed by an electoral (read: republican) group, and then they vote accordingly |
| 19:09.48 | jbevren | We could vote 1 for obush and 6 billion for the other guy, and the electoral college could still put bush in |
| 19:09.59 | jbevren | think: florida |
| 19:11.26 | prpplague | jbevren: uh, how is that republican?, the electorate is appointed by the party that won that area |
| 19:12.17 | prpplague | jbevren: iirc its only happen once or twice where a electorate voted the opposite of his party |
| 19:12.49 | jbevren | prpplague: Its a representative college |
| 19:12.59 | jbevren | our votes do not directly apply to the election |
| 19:13.09 | jbevren | representative and republican are far more similar than democracy |
| 19:14.38 | prpplague | jbevren: that is correct however, the parties general appoint someone who they know will voting accordingly |
| 19:14.54 | prpplague | jbevren: i just checked, there has only been one "defeating" vote in the last 100 years |
| 19:16.15 | jbevren | The success of the electoral college isnt in question ;-) |
| 19:16.24 | jbevren | the fact that our 'democracy' is indeed 'representative' is. |
| 19:16.38 | fishhead | jbe |
| 19:16.42 | jbevren | granted, there are worse governments |
| 19:16.45 | fishhead | democrats have controlled everything for 40 yrs |
| 19:16.46 | jbevren | but ours is headed there |
| 19:17.04 | jbevren | fishhead: I differ, and wont delve into the subject. |
| 19:17.09 | fishhead | ok :) |
| 19:17.22 | jbevren | Three bodies control this nation: THe MPAA, the RIAA, and Microsoft. |
| 19:17.23 | fishhead | UGH |
| 19:17.30 | prpplague | correct |
| 19:17.33 | fishhead | well we agree on hating all 3 |
| 19:17.37 | fishhead | :P |
| 19:17.38 | jbevren | the government is in each of these threes' pockets |
| 19:17.44 | prpplague | jbevren: we have always been a representative based government |
| 19:17.46 | fishhead | I dunno about that |
| 19:17.50 | jbevren | prpplague: I know :P |
| 19:18.00 | prpplague | jbevren: but most ppl don't realize that |
| 19:18.01 | fishhead | orin hatch doesn't like the riaa too much |
| 19:18.02 | jbevren | but our children are taught otherwise |
| 19:18.03 | jbevren | (I know I was) |
| 19:18.15 | jbevren | prpplague: thats cause I was tought that it's a democracy |
| 19:18.27 | jbevren | up until I studied Government in high school |
| 19:18.34 | prpplague | jbevren: the US founding fathers never believed that the general population would be educated enough to make intelligent decisions about government |
| 19:18.59 | prpplague | jbevren: hehe my parents discussed it in our home alot |
| 19:19.13 | fishhead | WE NEVER Had a democracy |
| 19:19.21 | fishhead | we have represenative republic |
| 19:19.28 | jbevren | fishhead: we grow up believing we do :) |
| 19:19.38 | fishhead | either one is still better than the other shit |
| 19:19.40 | fishhead | we agree on that |
| 19:19.42 | jbevren | prpplague: Well, honestly, I agree |
| 19:19.52 | jbevren | the general populace, imho, are lucky they know how to tie shoes |
| 19:20.04 | jbevren | they certainly dont value education |
| 19:21.45 | jbevren | ok why the heck is lesstif-discuss allowing unregistered email addresses to email the list? |
| 19:21.57 | prpplague | jbevren: yea |
| 19:22.16 | prpplague | jbevren: the founding fathers looked at what happened in france, the rule of the mob |
| 19:22.19 | jbevren | prpplague: I dont have much respect for our 'great' nation |
| 19:22.21 | jbevren | :) |
| 19:22.27 | jbevren | nodnod |
| 19:22.37 | jbevren | but teaching truth would be good imo |
| 19:22.59 | prpplague | jbevren: thats why neither the electoral collage or for that matter ANY of the representatives or senate have an obligation to do as their electrate wants them to do |
| 19:22.59 | jbevren | that said, the uneducated wallowers are in congress too |
| 19:23.15 | prpplague | jbevren: you see where i am now, hehe |
| 19:23.31 | jbevren | but yorue still a US citizen |
| 19:23.45 | jbevren | btw, how's the average temp there ;-) I hate high heat |
| 19:23.47 | prpplague | jbevren: soon to change if i stay here |
| 19:23.55 | prpplague | average temp is about 85 |
| 19:24.00 | jbevren | oh thats not bac |
| 19:24.03 | jbevren | =bad |
| 19:24.06 | jbevren | breezy? |
| 19:24.54 | prpplague | depends on the month |
| 19:25.20 | jbevren | I'm still half-ass interested in moving there ;-) |
| 19:26.07 | jbevren | I enjoy our terminate-without-notice spam clause |
| 19:30.34 | fishhead | btw guys |
| 19:30.36 | fishhead | my new switch works great |
| 19:30.38 | fishhead | 5 port 10/100/1000 $25 on sale |
| 19:30.40 | fishhead | till now I had a 8 port 10mbit hub :P |
| 19:32.04 | jbevren | nice :D |
| 19:32.11 | jbevren | my gigabit is fibre |
| 19:32.25 | jbevren | I have a 12x 100T switch with a fibre uplink |
| 19:32.30 | jbevren | my filreserver is on the fibre port :) |
| 19:34.15 | fishhead | yeah but I am poor |
| 19:34.27 | fishhead | I paid like $50 for that hub back in 98 I think |
| 19:34.48 | fishhead | they had a gige nic on sale $14 but i heard realtek gige is as shitty as their 10/100 |
| 19:34.56 | jbevren | hehe |
| 19:35.03 | jbevren | I enjoy the 8139s |
| 19:35.09 | jbevren | the 8029 100T chips are crap |
| 19:35.12 | jbevren | the 39s are good |
| 19:35.35 | fishhead | 8139 is the ass end of the 10/100 nic industry bro |
| 19:35.37 | jbevren | my favorites are tulip, eepro100, and acenic |
| 19:35.41 | fishhead | I use tulip clones or intel or 3com |
| 19:35.44 | fishhead | hahaha |
| 19:35.46 | fishhead | dude |
| 19:35.51 | fishhead | were we seperated at birth? |
| 19:35.55 | jbevren | fishhead: true, but they're $1/card and do 10Mbyte/sec |
| 19:36.05 | fishhead | oh for 10mbit only apps that's fine |
| 19:36.12 | jbevren | I dislike 3com |
| 19:36.15 | fishhead | I am going to save some isa nics |
| 19:36.24 | fishhead | I seen some pages where a mcu can bit bang them |
| 19:36.31 | jbevren | Ive had too mnay systems freeze solid with the last message being eth0: too much work during interrupt |
| 19:36.31 | jbevren | eth0 being a 3com. |
| 19:36.41 | fishhead | their 10/100 pci cards ? |
| 19:36.42 | jbevren | ethernlink III isa's are da bomb tho |
| 19:36.48 | fishhead | ewww |
| 19:36.56 | fishhead | III is a pio only card like a ne2000 |
| 19:36.59 | fishhead | I have to keep one of those too |
| 19:37.01 | jbevren | contrary |
| 19:37.06 | jbevren | they can dma |
| 19:37.07 | fishhead | becaue it's the only thing the webpal can handle |
| 19:37.08 | fishhead | no |
| 19:37.11 | fishhead | 3c509 is not dma |
| 19:37.25 | fishhead | the 515 10/100 isa is |
| 19:37.30 | jbevren | not that it matters anyway, I dont want an ISA dma cycle messing the system's timing up :) |
| 19:37.48 | fishhead | don't argue I replaced 1000 of them where I used to work :P |
| 19:37.49 | fishhead | heh |
| 19:37.52 | prpplague | hehe i love the cs8900 chip |
| 19:37.54 | prpplague | it rocks |
| 19:37.57 | fishhead | do either of you understand bounce buffers |
| 19:38.32 | jbevren | cs8900 is nice cause you can run it from a board filled with switches :) |
| 19:38.32 | fishhead | doesn't that effectively destroy all advantage of dma for isa since the cpu would have to be involved the whole time to redirect the dma above 0-16 meg |
| 19:38.38 | fishhead | hehehe |
| 19:38.47 | jbevren | fishhead: Think of it this way |
| 19:38.55 | jbevren | one cpu read for an isa cycle is.. |
| 19:38.57 | jbevren | one isa cycle :) |
| 19:39.14 | jbevren | one dma byte transfer for isa is (req = 1, grant = 1, transfer = 1, release = 1) 4 cycles |
| 19:39.22 | jbevren | most cards dont do block transfers over dma |
| 19:39.25 | jbevren | they dma one byte at a time |
| 19:39.30 | jbevren | IO cards tend to do block |
| 19:39.37 | jbevren | net/audio dont |
| 19:39.38 | fishhead | http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/pro/detail/P46.html |
| 19:39.39 | fishhead | nice |
| 19:39.57 | fishhead | meaning? |
| 19:39.59 | jbevren | prpplague: did they ever 'fix' dma in 8bit mode on the 8900? |
| 19:40.03 | fishhead | sorry I am too drugged up and shit |
| 19:40.10 | fishhead | whoa |
| 19:40.11 | fishhead | 8900 has dma? |
| 19:40.12 | fishhead | nice |
| 19:40.14 | jbevren | fishhead: You can transfer 4x faster using the cpu |
| 19:40.28 | jbevren | fishhead: in 16bit mode.. last I read (years back) 8bit dma was borked |
| 19:40.29 | fishhead | jbe but you handcuff the cpu |
| 19:40.44 | jbevren | fishhead: only if you disable interrupts during the PIO transfer |
| 19:40.53 | fishhead | there is a 8900A |
| 19:40.58 | prpplague | jbevren: not that i'm aware, i only do 8bit in polling |
| 19:41.01 | fishhead | and it has appnote about using in 8 bit mode |
| 19:41.04 | fishhead | meaning it might be fixed |
| 19:41.19 | jbevren | prpplague: The RR-net is a cs8900a iirc |
| 19:41.35 | prpplague | http://www.sparkfun.com/images/PCB/CS8900A.jpg |
| 19:41.38 | jbevren | rr-net being an eth interface for a commodore 64 debugger/programmer's cartridge |
| 19:41.42 | prpplague | thats basically identical to what we use |
| 19:41.50 | fishhead | SWEET |
| 19:41.58 | prpplague | our design is based on the packet whacker from circuit cellar |
| 19:42.02 | fishhead | I should drag my friend to this channel |
| 19:42.10 | fishhead | he build a ide controller that allowed 17 drives |
| 19:42.11 | jbevren | prpplague: speaking of |
| 19:42.14 | fishhead | has unix on c64 |
| 19:42.24 | jbevren | I want to ethernet-enable my appliances |
| 19:42.24 | jbevren | like, |
| 19:42.25 | fishhead | boosted the ram to 512kb |
| 19:42.26 | fishhead | added ide |
| 19:42.27 | fishhead | he's like you guys |
| 19:42.30 | jbevren | have my washer/dryer send me an IM when the load is done :) |
| 19:42.33 | fishhead | I learned a lot of my stuff from him |
| 19:42.39 | jbevren | fishhead: my c64 has a 20mhz add-on cpu |
| 19:42.42 | jbevren | with 16M linear ram |
| 19:42.46 | fishhead | but he's been having problems the last few yrs :( |
| 19:42.51 | fishhead | ex tried to kill him |
| 19:42.55 | jbevren | it runs WiNGS, a multitasking (pre-emptive) microkernel |
| 19:43.01 | fishhead | still stressed out over that |
| 19:43.14 | jbevren | http://www.jbevren.net/c128/dscn1619.jpg |
| 19:43.34 | jbevren | http://www.jbevren.net/c128/dscn1617.jpg |
| 19:43.34 | fishhead | heh |
| 19:43.37 | jbevren | no, the green is not ethernet |
| 19:43.40 | jbevren | its a cisco console cable |
| 19:43.42 | fishhead | I have a amiga 500 just the mb |
| 19:43.45 | fishhead | and a c128 mb |
| 19:43.56 | jbevren | the system gets ppp to the cisco behind it (see the seagate drive on top of the cisco) |
| 19:44.05 | fishhead | nice |
| 19:44.06 | jbevren | just get a c64.. c128s dont really offer any advantage |
| 19:44.20 | fishhead | no dude I was handed these boards free |
| 19:44.21 | jbevren | I juse use a c128 cause its a nice format with external kbd |
| 19:44.25 | jbevren | ahh |
| 19:44.32 | fishhead | dunno the state of them |
| 19:44.35 | fishhead | I hacked up a AT psu |
| 19:44.37 | jbevren | anyway, the sandwich card with the trhee toggle switches is the cpu card |
| 19:44.39 | fishhead | and got the amiga 500 to post |
| 19:44.46 | fishhead | it has fat angus btw |
| 19:44.56 | jbevren | the 128 boots up on its internal cpu, does some init, and then launches a "game" rom on the cpu expansion card |
| 19:45.29 | jbevren | the expansion card's rom code then resets the expansion cpu, and locks the DMA hardware on, effectively disabling the local cpu until you turn the system off |
| 19:45.35 | fishhead | prpplague, mabye all 3 of us should work on the floppy flash emulator project |
| 19:45.40 | jbevren | from there, youre at 20mhz with 16M local mem :) |
| 19:46.01 | jbevren | prpplague: I want to build a GCR generator for my c64 btw :) |
| 19:46.16 | fishhead | jbe you need any 30 pin simms ? |
| 19:46.19 | jbevren | take a track of data from a disk image, and loop it into the read circuit ;-) |
| 19:46.37 | fishhead | i gotta setup a 486 board with just a floppy and memtest86 to start testing all the piles of 30 pin |
| 19:46.45 | fishhead | I might try embedding memtest86 in a rom or nic bootrom |
| 19:46.56 | fishhead | HATE floppies |
| 19:47.05 | jbevren | http://www.jbevren.net/workshop/dscn1648.jpg |
| 19:47.08 | jbevren | I might... :) |
| 19:47.48 | jbevren | 5 are 16x9s |
| 19:47.53 | jbevren | 4 others are 16x8 |
| 19:47.55 | fishhead | BASTERD! |
| 19:48.01 | fishhead | highest I got is 4 :/ |
| 19:48.03 | jbevren | my mac quadra 700 has 128M ram :) |
| 19:48.18 | jbevren | which is about 96M more than apple says it can use |
| 19:48.19 | fishhead | I guess one good thing about 30 pin |
| 19:48.27 | fishhead | 8 bit wide so you can tap them with a mcu easily |
| 19:48.34 | jbevren | nod |
| 19:48.45 | fishhead | I got a pile of srams :P |
| 19:48.45 | jbevren | but you need to constantly refresh it |
| 19:48.49 | fishhead | need to find way to test those too |
| 19:48.49 | fishhead | :/ |
| 19:49.09 | fishhead | I need a 486dx50 |
| 19:49.11 | fishhead | badly |
| 19:49.16 | fishhead | not dx2-50 |
| 19:49.17 | fishhead | a dx50 |
| 19:49.30 | fishhead | so i can run the clock at 50mhz to really test the 30 pin simms |
| 19:49.38 | fishhead | :/ |
| 19:50.18 | fishhead | man I got so much stuff to test and catalog it will take yrs |
| 19:50.20 | fishhead | :/ |
| 19:50.36 | fishhead | i gotta spend another $25 on static bags |
| 19:50.40 | fishhead | burned thru the first $50 set |
| 19:52.26 | fishhead | wings looks cute :P |
| 19:56.18 | jbevren | heh |
| 19:56.27 | jbevren | my memory is kept in a box |
| 19:56.33 | jbevren | with an antistatic lining :) |
| 19:58.34 | sunrunner20 | lol |
| 19:58.53 | fishhead | I nedd anti static boxes |

| 20:18.55 | jbevren | The Klaxon's characteristic "AH-OOOOH'-GAH!!" sound is produced by a spring-steel diaphragm with a rivet in the centre which is repeatedly struck by the teeth of a rotating cog-wheel. (wikipedia) |
| 20:20.01 | jbevren | F. W. Lovell, the founder, coined the name klaxon from the Greek verb klaz, "to shriek." (wikipedia) |
| 20:20.02 | jbevren | heh |
| 20:20.10 | jbevren | that'll be klazo |

| 20:31.23 | jbevren | we had two in my home town |
| 20:31.39 | jbevren | one was two-tone (high, low, repeat) with a spinning bell |
| 20:31.52 | jbevren | the other by my school was two tones at once with a number of bells on its circumference |
| 20:33.12 | jbevren | the pricks would make us stay out during the siren |
| 20:33.17 | jbevren | it was right behind the school yard |
| 20:40.57 | prpplague | jbevren: naw, i was just saying that it seemed to be listed as an air raid but is actually a dive klaxon |
| 20:41.22 | jbevren | ohhh |
