00:04.36DocScrutinizer05insufficient approach: problem is the placement of the flush knob, fix for this doesn't need any electronics
00:08.47DocScrutinizer05to give you an idea: in 1980 I lived in a kraaked flat that had completely messed up toilet flush system. both the filling valve and the flush valve were not tight. I build a system consisting of a 80*50cm board on the floor and a few cords to that board and to the flush handle, to start filling of the water tank when somebody stepped on the board, and stopping it when somebody pulled the flush handle

00:10.07DocScrutinizer05ooh, a elastic band and a ~8cm of steel arm for the water tap were also involved
00:10.59DocScrutinizer05plus some duct tape
00:11.23DocScrutinizer05worked flawlessly for the 2 years we kraaked that flat

00:30.48infobotwell, autoaway is We don't care if you're 'afk', 'having a shower' or 'doing my wife'. If we really want to know, we'll /whois you. So please disable any public messages your client sends when you go /away or come back, as there are over 800 people here. If everyone did something annoying, we'd never get any conversation in. In BX, /set auto_away off. /saveirc, or nick changes are just as annoying.
00:30.52arossdotmeas you won't be edbother by it again
00:35.34DocScrutinizer05arossdotme: also note that you might run into severe trouble when idoru (freenode bot) detects you crossposting same stuff over all channels you joined. Peaple got k-lined for a mere /amsg good morning
00:36.02arossdotmeok, thx

14:16.07viricmay be. No idea. :)
14:16.28viricI'm very far of the case to check anything like that.
14:17.06viricI'm quite used to see fake biographies though.
14:17.35ysionneauand btw, they were on no flight list in the USA
14:17.48ysionneauso they were pretty well known to be terrorist since 2010 or something like that
14:18.34viricit's too hard for individuals to check things like that
14:19.16ysionneauwell, that's public information
14:19.22ysionneauif it were wrong, someone would say so
14:19.33ysionneauthat's on the news since several days
14:20.01viricI know enough that situation, "someone would say so"
14:20.09ysionneauwell then don't read anything any more :p
14:20.12viric:)
14:21.28viricit's you who is sure.
14:21.44ysionneauwell I just say it's public well broadcasted information
14:21.48viricI agree
14:22.01ysionneauand good media like mediapart or arrÃÂȘtsurimages are not saying it's fake
14:22.06ysionneauso there is high probability it's right
14:22.28ysionneausecret services have no interest in saying "we screwed up"

18:10.27wpwrakysionneau: "they were on no flight list in the USA" i.e., they never boarded a plane of or going to the US ? :)
18:12.17wpwrak"that's public information" if you're referring to no-fly lists, i don't think they are. at least not to the general public. so if the general public is informed about someone's status on such lists, there must be someone acting as gateway.
18:13.10wpwrakin IT, we may call this an "accessor". now, think of all the fun you can have with "accessors" that do a lot more or different things that just merely accessing what's supposedly underneath :)
18:13.43*** join/#qi-hardware porchao (~quassel@218.231.149.65.eo.eaccess.ne.jp)
18:15.03ysionneauwpwrak: I mean, now that this story is public (after the attacks) and after journalists spent hours and hours vomiting every piece of information they could put their hands on
18:15.07ysionneaunow : this is public
18:16.50wpwrakwhich means it has little actual credibility. not that it's be surprised if it was true (there are LOTS of people on those lists), but just that the information flow does not convey credibility
18:18.47wpwrak(lists) and there are several levels. "no fly", "terrorist watchlist", and so on. i wouldn't trust the press to be very precise in assigning the correct list membership. e.g., someone who's suspected to be somehow supporting terrorism, but not banned from flying, may well get a mis-attributed entry on the latter list if that person ends up in the public spotlight
18:19.37wpwrakin any case, even if all those things are true as presented, it just means that the whole system is not effective in terms of preventing incidents
18:20.26whitequarkhuh, looks venezuela's in trouble
18:20.43wpwrakwhitequark how is 2010 ? ;-)
18:21.11whitequarklol
18:21.13whitequarkreading http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-01-09/venezuelans-throng-grocery-stores-on-military-protection-order.html
18:21.28whitequarkfood shortages since 2010?
18:22.45wpwrakthat's just evil western propaganda. look at the "empty shelves" picture. there are clearly some things in evidence at the top
18:23.10viricvenezuela is quite at the west
18:23.19viric:)
18:23.49wpwrak2010 may have marked the beginning of toilet paper shortages. not sure when exactly that began, but i was around that time and it has to start somewhere ...
18:24.14wpwrakviric: in political terms, it's somewhere in the far east. somewhere east of siberia :)
18:24.44viricisn't the east at the right? hehe
18:25.01viricthe world upside down
18:25.02wpwrakif you elect stalin, it is :)
18:25.19viricall for the state.
18:25.22whitequark"at the right" https://d1ftgt94wd5jml.cloudfront.net/2010/proj_orthographic.png
18:25.42wpwrakhehe ;-)
18:25.51whitequarkthat... actually emphasizes it
18:27.14viricby the way, these days I'm working with Vivado and it's horrible.
18:27.16viricVery horrible.
18:27.48viricmy congratulations to Xilinx.
18:28.23wpwrakthe pain still seems to be insufficient, though
18:28.31pcercueisee what I endure at work?
18:28.35whitequarkviric: is it worse than ISE?
18:28.42viricI think so
18:28.46whitequarkoh.
18:28.50wpwrakelse, we'd be seeing commits on a clone of wolfgang's fpga synthesis project :)
18:28.50whitequarkwow.
18:29.04whitequarkwpwrak: I considered contributing
18:29.16wpwrakwhitequark: stop procrastinating ! :)
18:29.20whitequarkpolitely speaking, it is somewhat dense
18:29.37wpwraki read "more opportunity" :)
18:30.14viricI don't plan to contribute because I have the end of that project at eyesight
18:30.22wpwrakfree the world from the shackles of idiotic proprietary (oh wait. that's redundant) fpga tools
18:30.32virichence the 'acceptable pain'
18:31.02wpwrakviric: that's what Sisyphus said
18:31.04viricby now I have better things to do than solving that world problem.
18:31.13whitequarksome day, scientists will find a strong link between alcoholism and FPGA development
18:31.20viric:)
18:31.30viricwpwrak: did sisyphus receive a salary?
18:32.00wpwrakviric: they didn't need that back then. the wrath of the gods was enough :)
18:32.19viricwpwrak: same thing under different names
18:32.22wpwrakbesides, look who's famous - him or you ? :)
18:32.49wpwrak(different name) yeah, that works :)
18:33.07viricsisyphus got the glory.
18:33.20viricwe'd have to see him with Vivado though.
18:33.51wpwrakpoor, poor suicide statistics ...
18:35.04viricand when I have troubles with Vivado, I only find posts telling how Vivado 2014 is so much better than previous versions
18:35.28viricmeaning, when I search for online help
18:40.50pcercueiit's not
18:40.55pcercueidon't upgrade :p

20:05.14viriclarsc: the only thing I liked from fosdem was to meet a few people, like you :) I didn't like much the talks or debates.
20:05.51viricI think the communication was too poor among most people
20:06.04viriconly a few mastered English enough. And by that I don't mean I'm one of those.
20:07.16viricHaving experienced esperanto environments, I was shocked by how bad people managed to intercommunicate (for my standards. :)
20:21.22larscah, too bad.

20:22.47DocScrutinizer05or maybe WA runs a live test ;-)
20:32.32whitequarkit just hangs randomly
20:32.56whitequarkactually, it executed for me. 424 calories
21:12.51viriclarsc: I'd like to go some day to the ccc newyear meeting though
21:15.36wpwrakseems that wolfram aren't strong in homeopathy. 180 grams of beef, sheesh. what's that, child abuse ? :)
21:28.12viricysionneau: who filmed the kill off of the policeman is a catalan neighbour
21:29.14viricthat's the video many used to suspect that all is fake (lack of blood in a hit to the head), and he took away the video from the sites because he understood that "it was too offensive"
21:30.52ysionneauok
21:31.01ysionneauI can confirm that the policeman is dead though
21:40.01viricah do you?
21:40.58ysionneausure yes, two cops are dead
21:41.16ysionneaua black woman, and the (muslim) guy you saw being shot dead on the video
21:41.30virichow do you confirm?
21:41.34ysionneauwe have the complete list of names of the 17 dead
21:41.49ysionneauwell, all media, newspaper, TV, are saying the names
21:41.52viricah ok
21:42.01viricI thought you knew some relative
21:42.02wpwrakviric: just seems pointless to invent it ? :)
21:42.19ysionneauI say 17 because I'm being brain washed by French media
21:42.24ysionneaubut it's 20 (3 terrorist dead)
21:42.34viricI mean... I know about media :)
21:42.37viricI thought you knew further
21:42.40ysionneauah no
21:42.49ysionneaubut I very much doubt this is fake ^^
21:42.54viricfine fine, me too :)
21:43.06viricbut I'm interested in how the discussion evolves
21:43.26ysionneauI'm afraid of how this will turn out
21:43.35viricas with USA's 11S there were many works about it :)
21:43.48viricthe plane on Pentagon, Zeitgeist movies and alike, ... :)
21:43.55ysionneauit will be more anti-freedom pro-security laws, and more anti-islam FN bullshit
21:44.06ysionneauwhich will increase the number of terrorist ...
21:44.12ysionneaufor(;;);
21:44.20viricysionneau: yes, the solutions to such terrorism are always *more state* and *less freedom*
21:44.28ysionneauhehe
21:44.38viricthat's specifically what makes conspiracy theories sound
21:45.25wpwrakwhy don't we look at history ? there's an ethnic group that's being kept under the boot. they have plenty of combat experience. they feel they deserve better. what could possibly happen ?
21:45.30viricif the solutions were different, that'd quickly make the conspiracy theories less acceptable
21:45.42ysionneauwpwrak: so 10000% true
21:46.02wpwraklast week: 20 dead in france. 80 years ago, WW II. i'd say we (the world) got off lightly this time.
21:46.12viricwpwrak: what did they achieve for better?
21:47.06viricMore EU state oppression, specifically over them
21:47.12wpwrakviric: in the case of germany, the allies knew better than to farm the mortal enemies for the nxt war, the second time around.
21:48.05viricI didn't plan to discuss WW II :)
21:48.10wpwrakresult: 80 years of peace in central europe. not too bad if you ask me. of course, that may have been possible with a bit less bloodshed.
21:48.34viricI don't think WW II was a fake :)
21:48.43viricso was a fake the start of Vietnam war, isn't it?
21:48.48viricas in USA intervention
21:48.50wpwrakviric: well, have you *seen* it ? ;-)
21:49.03viricwpwrak: I'm open to new theories about WW II :)
21:49.32viricfor vietnam there was the story of that ship attacked
21:49.34wpwrakconsider the creationist approach. just place the creation of the world a little later :)
21:49.48wpwrakoh, have i just returned to solipsism ? damn :)
21:49.52viricwpwrak: I quite accept Fomenko views, so don't push me ;)
21:50.11viric(Not his reconstruction, but about the forgery :)
21:50.39wpwrak(vietnam) almost every war gets started on some lame excuse
21:51.50viricwpwrak: I know that in the state where I live, there are secret-of-state documents from the XV century onwards :)
21:51.59viric15th
21:52.18viricthat is, from Inquisition onwards. Nowadays.
21:52.25wpwrakwhether it's tonkin, an archduke, "WMD in iraq", ...
21:52.53wpwrakso barcelona has its dirty secrets ? :)
21:52.58viricfor state I meant Madrid
21:53.14wpwrakthought you were of that other team :)
21:53.25viricWhen we say "our state", we mean our owner
21:53.35viricif we say "our nation", that's different :)
21:53.46wpwrakhehe :)
21:54.06viricit's a very common difference here used.
21:54.15wpwraki just wish you guys didn't insist on linguistic separatism, too
21:54.38viricI wish you understood better :)
21:54.56viricbut I hope we will have some day to make the world understand about us.
21:55.05virichave some day the opportunity
21:55.20wpwraki mean, do all the people in the region even speak catalan ? it just sounds like opening rifts right in the middle of your own society
21:55.50pcercueiin Barcelona half of the population speak catalan
21:55.59pcercueithe other half speak french, it seems
21:56.04viricIt's unfair
21:56.35viricWe were killed or imprisoned if we used it in public during 40 years
21:57.26viricIt's like the Vergonha in occitania
21:57.36viric(not so hard)
21:57.57wpwraki mean i can fully understand the wish for political and economical independence. but why unearth a local language that nobody in the rest of the world understands ?
21:58.09viricfff
21:58.29viricyou have a completely wrong picture
21:58.50viricYou are just another victim of Spain foreign policy about that.
21:59.22wpwrakwell, it would make my life easier if they'd just use german. that's true :)
21:59.41wpwrak(they) i mean all of spain and underling territories
22:00.12viricyou should consider yourself illiterate about the catalan territories.
22:00.16viricinstead of the opposite
22:05.30wpwrakwell, you can do whatever you want. right now you have a strong economy to let you have your way. but it looks to me like a troubling tendency towards separatism that goes much farther than necessary.'
22:05.49viricI understood your view
22:05.53viricI consider it very wrong.
22:06.25viricbut there you go. I hope we manage to have an opportunity where you will learn about us and not from our conquerors.
22:07.16wpwraki don't learn much from your "recent" conquerors. (you really should be mad at the italians if it was about conquest :)
22:07.50viricthey also made their history up
22:08.00wpwrakthe italians ?
22:08.08viricfrom the catalan Napoli.
22:11.27wpwraknot quite sure what you're referring to. when has catalonia had a feud with naples ?
22:11.35viricthe XVth century
22:11.47viricfrom Rome downwards, it was catalana
22:11.49viriccatalan
22:12.18wpwrakyou mean the kingdom of naples ?
22:12.20viricyes
22:15.30wpwrakwhat hardly seems to create much of an ethnic connection. well, outside nobility
22:15.56wpwrakanyway, i was more thinking of the romans. go to the basics :)
22:16.28viricWhat romans?
22:16.41wpwrakwho who (badly) tought you to speak latin ;-)
22:16.53wpwraktaught even
22:17.07viricah that's one theory :)
22:17.28viricI don't agree with that.
22:17.33wpwraki guess you have a local one that had barcelona as the cradle of the roman empire :)
22:18.00viricwell, some say that Valentia was called Roma, some say that Roma was called Valentia. :)
22:18.09wpwrakoh dear :)
22:18.38viricdo you think the past is settled? :)
22:18.57viricnot for me!
22:19.32viricbut there you go with your "things happened as I was told on school because everyone knows"
22:19.38viric:)
22:20.14wpwrakseems that things don't look too promising on calalonia then, if people have to dwell that much on the past instead of thinking of the future. kinda reminds me of peronism in argentina. if we just repeat the mistakes of the past, the golden age will come back ...
22:20.59viricgood luck with your well informed forecasts :)
22:21.20viricTime to prepare for sleep.
22:23.21wpwraksweet dreams ! :)
22:30.45viricsame to you!
