09:28:06  <A_Person> Hmm, interesting
09:28:54  <A_Person> Well, it still fits into my station with 14 units

09:46:52  <A_Person> I didn't remember it being that short, especially since the game offers building size 7 stations in the GUI
09:47:25  <Eddi|zuHause> you could open a feature request that they are limited to 5 then ;)
09:47:53  <A_Person> or raise the length limit in stead :P
09:48:29  <Eddi|zuHause> no, it's a hysterical limit.
09:48:36  <A_Person> Huh?
09:48:55  <Rubidium> from hysterical raisins
09:48:55  <Eddi|zuHause> it makes no sense to change it... that's why the switch to turn it off is there
09:49:27  <A_Person> It makes no sense to me to leave the limit smaller than an ancient GUI feature would seem to suggest
09:49:55  <Eddi|zuHause> the gui is way less ancient than the limit ;)
09:52:05  <A_Person> I curse this game for being so attractive while being so evil and incompatible with my little mind
09:55:09  * Rubidium wonders how many people ever wondered why the sun was "still" shining when (s)he stopped playing a Transport Tycoon flavour
09:55:27  <A_Person> Hahaha

10:16:23  <A_Person> Is it just my paranoia or does the area of your station's caption that overlaps a primary industry affect how much of it's output arrives at your station?

11:54:54  <keyweed_> there's  !freedom of religion! as long as you beleive in the RIGHT God. not the other one. that's wrong.
11:55:25  <Ridayah> And make sure to indoctrinate your children, because they'll be salvation.  You can be lazy though!
11:55:32  <A_Person> Nah, those folks don't believe in that, or separation of state and church
11:55:42  <keyweed_> one nation under God.
11:55:43  <A_Person> It's their wish to live in a theocracy
11:55:56  *** Eddi|zuHause [~johekr@p54B7708D.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
11:55:57  <keyweed_> yet they condemn iran for being a theocracy
11:56:03  <keyweed_> confusing stuff
11:56:10  <Ridayah> oh no, they do.  Seperation of church and state, they argue, is that the government cannot make laws and take actions impugning the right of religious organizations
11:56:12  <keyweed_> one nation is more equal then other nations?
11:56:25  <Ridayah> but it is totally within the constitution to use religion to effect the state.
11:56:39  * keyweed_ is glad he lives in europe
11:56:58  <Ridayah> These are the same people who argue that lesbians are okay because "God thinks they're hot!" but gay men aren't.
11:57:00  <Eddi|zuHause2> there is no separation between church and state in europe
11:57:05  * Ridayah has to argue with them on a daily basis
11:57:09  <A_Person> not organisations, but a strict group of them
11:57:17  <keyweed_> Eddi|zuHause2: there's not much church left in europe
11:57:29  <Eddi|zuHause2> oh there is...
11:57:31  <keyweed_> but Eddi|zuHause2 is sort of right.
11:57:53  <keyweed_> the Christiand Democratic Union and Christion Union are the parties that run the netherlands at the moment
11:58:08  <Ridayah> Then again, Europe has almost two thousand years of enforced religious rule too though; so it's standard behavior for them
11:58:15  <Ridayah> starting with the Romans
11:58:17  <Eddi|zuHause2> it's just all the crazy guys already went to america, so the european ones are a tiny bit more moderate :p
11:58:41  <Brianetta> 'lesbians are okay because "God thinks they're hot!" but gay men aren't.'
11:58:44  <Brianetta> Sound logic, that.
11:59:01  <keyweed_> hmz. true. europe has a long past, we've made most mistakes once or twice already
11:59:12  <keyweed_> but that doesn't stop us from repeating the same mistakes forever!
11:59:17  <Ridayah> Yeah, they argue specifically since the Bible says "Man shall not lay with mankind as he lays with womankind" but says nothing on woman laying with womankind, it condones it.
11:59:44  * keyweed_ puts on the devil advocates hat
11:59:46  <Brianetta> well, yeah (:
11:59:57  <keyweed_> Ridayah: what if you do it standing? orlay differently as you do with women?
12:00:04  <Brianetta> If I had religion it would alll be based around woman lying with womankind
12:00:15  <Ridayah> That's the joke I like to throw back at them. :P
12:00:22  <keyweed_> how literal do you need to take that text?

12:00:45  <Ridayah> I've seen some really ridiculous religious comments. http://fstdt.com/
12:00:51  <Eddi|zuHause2> people who argue with the bible tend to ignore all phrases of the bible that work against them :p
12:01:21  <Ridayah> Plus two weeks ago we had religious protesting signholders show up on my college campus for no reason.  There was debate of making signs for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and going out there to signhold in protest
12:01:22  <keyweed_> heh. lawyers do the same with law
12:01:41  <Brianetta> Eddi: I argue with the bible all the time
12:01:48  <Brianetta> It never wins

12:02:07  <Eddi|zuHause2> i mean make arguments citing the bible
12:02:22  <Brianetta> sorry, that looks like an oxymoron
12:02:41  <Eddi|zuHause2> support their argument with a bible quote
12:02:50  <Ridayah> I've been told that the most challenging debate to do is to make a logical argument for a deity's existence, but it can be done

12:04:49  <planetmaker> [14:02]	<Ridayah>	I've been told that the most challenging debate to do is to make a logical argument for a deity's existence, but it can be done <-- it's been done for over 2000 years now...
12:05:43  <Eddi|zuHause2> i'd like to reference Gödel at that point... in every logical system that is sufficiently complex, there are theorems that can neither be proven nor disproven, or the system in itself is contradictory

12:10:38  * Doorslammer does a mad dance with a test tube
12:10:43  <Doorslammer> But what is SCIENCE?
12:11:09  <A_Person> Science is the application of reason to the understanding of the world
12:11:13  <A_Person> or something like that
12:13:10  <Eddi|zuHause> <A_Person> Science is the application of reason to the understanding of the world <- maths has absolutely nothing to do with "the world"
12:13:18  <A_Person> it's a study of numbers
12:13:29  <Eddi|zuHause> a religion is a set of theorems building on axioms that cannot be proven
12:13:35  <Eddi|zuHause> maths is a set of theorems building on axioms that cannot be proven

12:14:01  <A_Person> Ah, yeah, I forgot about them axioms
12:14:22  <Eddi|zuHause> numbers are only secondary to maths...
12:14:40  <Eddi|zuHause> there are huge branches of maths that can live without numbers
12:14:43  <A_Person> Well, they are reasonable assumptions since using them has yet to be disproven in the application to the world, the branch of applied amthematics
12:15:17  <Eddi|zuHause> that statement is complete nonsense...
12:15:25  <A_Person> I'm made of nonsense :D
12:16:00  <Eddi|zuHause> ANY of the axioms that are used in mathmatics are completely exchangeable by their opposite
12:16:02  <Brianetta> [13:10] <Doorslammer> But what is SCIENCE?
12:16:03  <Brianetta> Science is the system of acquiring knowledge through use of the scientific method.
12:16:21  <Eddi|zuHause> the result is a completely new branch of mathmatics
12:16:24  <Doorslammer> Good grief, last time I do a flash cartoon quote :P
12:16:32  <Eddi|zuHause> which in itself is again consistent (or not)
12:16:52  <Eddi|zuHause> it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with any kind of "application" in "the world"
12:17:30  <A_Person> Weebl?
12:17:52  <A_Person> Alright, it doens't!
12:17:57  <A_Person> Let's do science without math then ;P
12:18:14  <Eddi|zuHause> trying to pick out a relevant branch of mathmatics to try to fit a "real world" observation into the conclusions of that branch is what they call "science". but that has neither something to do with mathmatics, nor with "proving"
12:18:41  <A_Person> I didn't say anything about proving
12:18:47  <Eddi|zuHause> "sience" is just a lowly servant of maths
12:18:55  <Doorslammer> Yah
12:18:58  <Eddi|zuHause> like "churches" are lowly servants to "religion"
12:19:08  <Doorslammer> Ooo, I know, let's play Toss the H Bomb :P
12:19:37  <Eddi|zuHause> <A_Person> Well, they are reasonable assumptions since using them has yet to be disproven in the application to the world, the branch of applied amthematics <- spot the substring "prove"?
12:19:48  <A_Person> Hmmm
12:20:05  <A_Person> Let me untangle the knot that is confusion
12:20:20  <A_Person> in my head that is, not what I might have caused

20:41:48  <SpComb> which is, thankfully, something of zero utility and no real purpose, so it's fun

20:44:19  <TrueBrain> fjb: the basic idea is that a pointer is always the bit-size of a CPU (so 8, or 16, or 32, or 64 nowedays)
20:44:23  <SpComb> so I need to implement some kind of reference counting + call unlink myself via SQL
20:44:30  <TrueBrain> and registers are faster when you pass the native amount (no bitmasks and shit)
20:44:39  <TrueBrain> but that is not true with modern compilers :)
20:44:58  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, i was just gonna say... shouldn't the compiler take care of that?
20:45:16  <SpComb> http://pb.paivola.fi/1050 <-- A and B are two separate sessions
20:45:16  <TrueBrain> (in fact, results are mostly worse with modern compilers :p)
20:45:28  <TrueBrain> that said, it is also used if you have a common function to pass things to and from a backend
20:45:40  <TrueBrain> so call that 'common' method a pointer, and pass it what ever you want
20:45:44  <TrueBrain> also bad, but happens a lot :)
20:46:11  <Eddi|zuHause> sometimes i think i have the only really interesting project around here ;)
20:46:11  <fjb> The idea is that anything could be passed over that (void *). It is the argument to a new thread. So I understand that a pointer gets passed. But I don't understand that casting. Or do I start to understand it now? Still unsure...
20:46:32  <fjb> Eddi|zuHause: You have...
20:46:59  <TrueBrain> fjb: well, there you have it :) You want to allow many things to be passed to a new thread ... and this happens to be a uchar :)
20:47:06  <TrueBrain> as long as the writer and reader agree, no harm is done :)
20:47:25  <Eddi|zuHause> people are always amazed of what i can read out of source code in a non-declarative scripting language, without ever running a single line of that code ;)
20:47:43  <fjb> So I just wrap it looking like a pointer and than unwrap it?
20:47:59  <TrueBrain> fjb: clearly :p
20:48:05  <TrueBrain> like taking your bike inside a train
20:48:06  <Eddi|zuHause> but they also are buffled when it finds primitive syntax errors :p
20:48:21  <TrueBrain> the train might be bigger, but when you get out, you still have your bike
20:48:22  <fjb> But just a single cast to (void *) would not do?
20:48:38  <Eddi|zuHause> which i don't even have anything to do with, as i call a regular compiler first, who finds those
20:48:57  <TrueBrain> fjb: casting a (uchar) to a (void *) can give compile-warnings (not of same bit-size)
20:49:07  <TrueBrain> so people tend to cast them first to (size_t), then to (void *)
20:49:36  <fjb> Ah, thanks for enlighten me. Now it is clear.
20:50:13  <TrueBrain> good luck :p (that really is one of the nasties things of C ... casting :))
20:50:23  <SpComb> silly optimizations lead to silly code
20:50:56  <fjb> Yes, that is why I tried to stay away from C. But this is microcontroller programming. C is not the worst choice there.
20:50:58  <SpComb> #define OMG_MORE_MEGAHURTZ(uval) ((void *) (uptr_t) (uval))
20:51:08  <fjb> :-)
20:51:20  <TrueBrain> fjb: no, for microcontroller programming it is the best language

20:51:41  <SpComb> are there any comments?
20:51:49  <fjb> I try. But I'm a bit ruty at it.
20:51:52  <TrueBrain> fjb: you really don't want to program a microcontroller in, say, Python :p
20:52:06  <SpComb> TI-BASIC
20:53:10  <fjb> Their other projects were in Basic. The PC part talking to the microcontroller is made with Delphy. So they want to hire me for the C part. At least I hope they hire me.
20:53:23  <TrueBrain> Delphi, not Delphy ;)
20:53:30  <TrueBrain> and you know nothing about C? :p
20:53:43  <TrueBrain> C really is the only language for any embed system btw
20:53:44  <fjb> Ok, I don't use it, so I don't know the exact name. :-)
20:54:34  <fjb> I know about C, but some castings are not clear to me. Didn't do any C the last years. Have to get used to it.
20:54:52  <TrueBrain> :) Good luck :)
20:55:00  <TrueBrain> you either love pointers, or you hate them :)
20:55:01  <TrueBrain> I love them ;)
20:55:19  <fjb> I would always vote for C to do microcontroller stuff. You often have to count bits and bytes there.
20:55:54  <fjb> I like pointers. I only don't like casts which I don't understand.
20:56:36  <TrueBrain> :)
20:56:42  <TrueBrain> I know the feeling :p
20:56:46  * SpComb read a bit of a 200-page book that contained nothing than clever bitwise-operator tricks

20:57:22  <fjb> The only problem I really see is how to do the realtime stuff with just interrupt routines.
20:57:43  <TrueBrain> realtime and interrupts generally don't mix :)

21:00:44  <Eddi|zuHause> python is all nice and calm, until you want to write a c interface to it and get nasty sideeffects with reference counting...
21:01:09  <SpComb> it's *possible* to get the reference counting right
21:01:11  <TrueBrain> arm7, nice :)
21:01:13  <TrueBrain> easy to program on :)

21:02:09  <Eddi|zuHause> but it has too few common examples
21:02:11  <TrueBrain> do use more power
21:02:20  <TrueBrain> but ... easier to add a network port ;)
21:02:47  <SpComb> my experience with python extension modules is pretty limited, and I got by with what the tut explained
21:03:02  <fjb> Power consumption (or the heat that it casts) is the main problem with the arm9 here.
21:03:31  <ln> how would you like an ARM 9 platform with 64 MB RAM, SD slot, Ethernet and a 1.3-megapixel camera?
21:03:33  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm bad with tutorials that don't descend in the full depth of the issue
21:04:18  <TrueBrain> fjb: well .. 15W isn't that bad ;)
21:04:27  <TrueBrain> (at full load)
21:04:33  <TrueBrain> but yeah, arm7 is a bit less ;)
21:04:44  <fjb> The Atmel AT91SAM7XC has the network stuff.

21:05:49  <TrueBrain> fjb: hehe, fresh air tends to be important :p
21:06:06  <TrueBrain> networking for ARM7 works, but needs more components ;)

21:53:35  <petern> There would be if it wasn't full of spam and binaries.

21:53:42  <TrueBrain> hehe
21:53:44  <TrueBrain> true
21:53:53  <TrueBrain> still ... people use maillists nowedays :)
21:54:05  <Prof_Frink> agmtt!
21:54:05  <TrueBrain> also full of spam, nevertheless :p
21:54:13  <petern> Once upon time, it was easy to get usenet access.
21:54:29  <petern> These days you need to find a provider that does it.
21:54:37  <glx> I don't have access to alt.bin*
21:54:41  <TrueBrain> test-access is very easy here too
21:54:43  <TrueBrain> text
21:55:59  <petern> There is so much shit that providing an NNTP service is out the question for many ISPs.
21:56:19  * petern wonders what the bandwidth figures are like these days.
21:56:38  <TrueBrain> petern: here they only remove the binaries .. text is still working fine from almost all dutch ISPs (as far as I can track it :p)

21:58:47  <petern> How many ISPs that provide newsgroup access actually provide their own servers, instead of just some alias to an NNTP provider?
21:59:15  <TrueBrain> text-binaries is _very_ cheap to install

22:04:13  <petern> Exactly. Why would I want to, and why would any other ISP want to?
22:04:52  <ln> newsgroups are an excellent place for the mentally ill to express themselves.
22:04:53  <TrueBrain> are you as person an ISP? :p
22:05:05  <petern> In this context, yes.
22:05:13  <TrueBrain> hehe, fair enough :)
22:05:22  <TrueBrain> I got the request several times already, if there was NNTP access ..
22:06:37  <TrueBrain> but getting a text-feed is relative easy
22:06:40  <TrueBrain> binary-feed costs money :p
22:07:41  <petern> I wouldn't consider a binary feed.

22:20:53  <TrueBrain> so I thought, I just install a server, and load up the non-binaries

22:22:15  <TrueBrain> as I said, 2004 :)
22:22:24  <fjb> Then it is stable. :-)
22:23:21  <TrueBrain> like qmail :s
22:23:37  <fjb> 2008-07-10: INN 2.4.5
22:23:52  <fjb> New INN from this year.
22:24:13  <fjb> http://www.isc.org/sw/inn/
22:24:55  <TrueBrain> yeah, security fixes ..
22:26:02  <fjb> What else do you want?
22:26:28  <fjb> I never missed a feature in INN.
22:27:24  <TrueBrain> it is not about that ... as I said: like qmail :p
22:27:32  <TrueBrain> qmail is nice and all .. but it is old
22:27:36  <TrueBrain> it misses new technoligies

22:30:55  <TrueBrain> same was said about qmail .. yet exim is much more popular nowedays :)
22:31:05  <fjb> I don't have INN installed at the moment. That is planed for next month (since about three years).
22:31:15  <TrueBrain> hahaha :)
22:31:26  <TrueBrain> too bad my remote NNTP server is still not responding :(
22:32:26  <fjb> A lot of things got added to smtp. Nntp is different. Still I don't know what people like about exim.

22:32:55  <TrueBrain> it is not what I personally like about exim, it is more what I dislike about qmail :)
22:33:05  <TrueBrain> in general it is bad to have the need to patch up qmail with N patches
22:33:11  <TrueBrain> they tend to make things slightly unstable ;)
22:33:18  <fjb> I never used qmail.
22:33:43  <fjb> Yes, too much patching is not good. See OpenTTD *in.
22:35:00  *** Yeggstry is now known as Yeggzzz

22:39:41  <TrueBrain> I dislike Postfix very much
22:40:05  <SmatZ> what are you using then ?
22:40:09  <SmatZ> just curious :)
22:40:18  <fjb> Exim. :-)
22:40:25  <TrueBrain> exim
22:40:28  <SmatZ> exim
22:40:35  <SmatZ> ok, never tried it :)
22:40:38  <TrueBrain> as my father will say: the best of the worst
22:40:50  <TrueBrain> exim4 is kind of the default in a new install
22:40:58  <TrueBrain> debian even installs it without you wanting ;)
22:41:10  <SmatZ> :)
22:41:14  <SmatZ> sounds windows-like :)
22:41:26  <SmatZ> it's full of stuff noone wants
22:41:38  <SmatZ> but nah, debian is very fine :)
22:41:40  <fjb> Sendmail is cool. I once thought about teaching it game of life.
22:42:12  <TrueBrain> I dislike debian, but for other reasons :) It install exim is in fact fine, yes
22:42:16  <TrueBrain> Gentoo still does sendmail
22:42:37  <vvv444> Only way to get just the software you want is installing LFS :)
22:42:39  <fjb> Sendmail is not bad if you know how to handle it.
22:43:19  <TrueBrain> fjb: you know you contradict yourself there? :p
22:43:42  <TrueBrain> vvv444: you also might want to try Gentoo
22:43:47  <TrueBrain> does nothing you don't want
22:44:00  <fjb> No, there are some corner cases where sendmail may be the only way to go.
22:44:14  <SmatZ> Gentoo is the best of course ;-)
22:44:30  <TrueBrain> fjb: I was more talking about: "not bad" against "know how to handle"
22:44:30  <TrueBrain> ;)
22:44:36  <SmatZ> best distro I ever used (not that I used more than 5 ;)
22:44:36  <vvv444> I haven't said I use LFS, it's quite suicidal. I just said any other distro will have some things you don't want. But you're right Gentoo is quite fine.
22:44:45  <fjb> Gentoo sounds like Linux, so it can not be the best. :-P
22:45:02  <TrueBrain> SmatZ: I agree with you there :) Trying out debian now again .. dislike it already :p (more exact: the defaults of Gentoo in general are SO MUCH BETTER)
22:45:24  <SmatZ> :-)
22:45:41  <TrueBrain> but okay, you need more time to do things in Gentoo ... specific: updating your system can be a pain in the ass :)

22:47:23  <SmatZ> yeah, Gentoo maintainter of openttd looks pretty dead :) so last official version is 0.5.3...
22:47:27  <TrueBrain> the software was removed from normal use
22:47:38  <SmatZ> and yeah, it was masked
22:47:39  <TrueBrain> just what SmatZ says, no maintainer
22:47:52  <TrueBrain> reminds me, I really need to put up an ebuild for both stables and nightlies
22:47:57  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: and everybody who used OpenTTD has been left with an exploitable binary
22:48:03  <TrueBrain> a nice layman overlay will do fine I guess
22:48:13  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: no, when updating it tells you it is masked

22:49:01  <vvv444> Rubidium: Everyone who cared indeed was welcome to compile latest version himself...
22:49:30  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: in fact, when updating, it downgrades OpenTTD to 0.5.3
22:49:35  <Rubidium> and everyone who cared enough to make an updated ebuild got "silenced"
22:49:42  <TrueBrain> and if that is faulty too, a CVE should be created to indicate 0.5.3 is bad :)
22:49:53  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: maintainers are, as everywhere, a problem
22:49:58  <TrueBrain> which you can't put in the shoes of Gentoo itself
22:50:10  <TrueBrain> now you sound exactly like a few patch writers we hav ein this project
22:50:16  <TrueBrain> because they can't get their patch in, OpenTTD is bad
22:50:45  <TrueBrain> but as said, remind me tomorrow or so to produce Gentoo ebuilds
22:50:51  <TrueBrain> then we are done with the whole problem all together :)

22:53:06  <TrueBrain> SmatZ: 0.5.3 is masked too?

22:53:27  <Rubidium> http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3576 <- the description is fairly clear that 0.5.3 is affected too (at least to me)
22:53:44  <TrueBrain> well, as SmatZ just showed, 0.5.3 is masked too, so they picked up :)
22:54:07  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: I don't think everything sucks, but a lot of things actually do suck
22:54:23  <TrueBrain> now all is left is to find a girl who sucks .. hmm ..
22:56:01  <TrueBrain> is it okay to put the gentoo ebuild overlay in svn?
22:56:09  <TrueBrain> or do you want me to setup a seperate something for it?
22:56:57  <Rubidium> fine by me
22:56:59  <Rubidium> os/gentoo ?
22:57:29  <TrueBrain> I would not advise putting it inside trunk
22:57:32  <TrueBrain> it needs to be seperate
22:57:39  <TrueBrain> as it will contain a complete overlay, with all available versions
22:57:45  <TrueBrain> (that is how Gentoo ebuild system works)

23:15:34  <Rubidium> it's ITRON
23:16:46  <fjb> Itron is more an API than an OS, afaik. Ecos supports ITRON Api.

23:18:09  <Rubidium> what are the rough specs (rom/ram)
23:18:23  * vvv444 heard of uClinux but never tried it
23:18:52  <fjb> The OS they gave me is solely to suport its network stack. It is designed for small embedded webservers and the vendor references its kernel as rtos. But it uses cooperative multitasking. :-(
23:19:13  <fjb> 256K flash rom and 64k ram.
23:19:24  <fjb> 48MHz arm7.
23:19:42  <ln> err... 64k ram is definitely not enough for linux.
23:20:34  <fjb> And there must be enough ram left for the application. thought it will not need that much.
23:21:25  <Rubidium> I'd say take a look at the list at the bottom of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system
23:21:26  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: be glad the 0.6.3 ebuild is not accepted
23:21:27  <fjb> Proposed os is Nut/OS: http://www.ethernut.de/en/software/index.html
23:21:31  <TrueBrain> it still uses old makefile thingies :s
23:22:11  <fjb> Rubidium: Thank you.
23:22:51  <TrueBrain> unicode for linux, useful or not?
23:23:07  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: yes
23:23:37  <Rubidium> unless you want to get flamed by the russians, chinese, japanese and many eastern europeans
23:24:26  <TrueBrain> by default unicode is OFF on linux
23:24:42  <fjb> Hm, Nut/OS fails almost the whole description on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system

23:57:39  <TrueBrain> INSTALL_ICON_DIR = "$(INSTALL_DIR)/"/share/pixmaps
23:57:43  <TrueBrain> I can configure one, but not the other ;)
23:58:31  <TrueBrain> oh, icon-dir ..
23:58:32  <TrueBrain> lol
