<0> poutine : I was hoping you were grown up enough to not use this aol-eze crap that all these little kids were using. Looks like I was wrong.
<1> remote controller for Stereo
<2> want pics poutine ?
<3> yes
<3> I don't believe you
<2> ok ill even record it :)
<1> I don't believe you either
<2> ill show you too :P
<4> You might think I'm strange, but I actually like to get up and do things like switch the lights on/off, open up the window, closing it, moving my curtains, and such... Instead of remote controlling it.
<3> the_ruthless, you must be fat
<2> not me :P
<1> I clap
<4> Not really, poutine.
<3> the_ruthless, I think you are
<5> I'm not fat and I get up to do most of that stuff, too.
<2> Al-Ashtar, its quite cheep to remote controle a room
<3> fat people value what little exercise they actually get
<1> I clap twice for the lights
<4> poutine: I just tend to take care of my body a little. I would become fat if I never moved.
<2> gimme $100 and ill buy you the gear
<3> they think parking 3 spots away from the walmart gates is going to shed those pounds
<1> but now it has been a pain since my son learned how to clap
<3> pmo, I could make the gear
<3> I just don't believe you
<2> oh btw you can also set it to youre phone line and remot it from everywhere
<1> poutine: I don't believe you either
<3> Al-Ashtar, What don't you believe?
<1> making the gear
<3> I've controlled actuator devices (cash registers) from linux before
<2> Al-Ashtar, thats np if you has schooling
<1> what is there to remote control in a room ?!
<1> have*
<2> light, box, screen sterio, curtains, heat etc.
<1> :P
<1> heat !
<1> in kuwait you want heat !
<2> oh you don't need heat hahah
<3> where's this evidence pmo
<3> do you have a web interface I could try out?
<2> i will record it no worry's
<3> possibly a webcam to verify actual activity
<2> well i could make one :)
<1> can you control the time you want to pee ?
<3> pmo, which language?
<2> no hehe
<2> whatever lang i guess.
<3> no I'm asking which language would you use?
<1> like tcpdump
<2> ok tell me, what do you wan't to remote ?
<3> windows opening and closing
<2> wtf
<2> i dont have that hehe
<3> what do you have?
<1> can't you do like: peedump >> /dev/null
<2> i could put a coffee machine up?
<1> when you need to take a leak
<3> did you write the interface?
<5> poutine : I must be fat because I value all the exercise I do get.
<2> no poutine
<5> damnit... I'm feeding it...
<3> so you bought a networked coffee maker?
<2> no
<2> tell me anything and ill connect it
<3> How did this coffee maker come about to be controlled from your computer
<1> simmy: feeding the discussion ?
<1> lol
<5> Al-Ashtar : Not exactly... ;)
<1> oh
<2> poutine, think a bit :P
<2> if i tell you i can remote anything ?
<1> I thought you meant you're feeding the non-linux discussion
<3> I figured this would end in a lame way
<3> thanks for proving me right
<2> who did ?
<1> pmo <=- lazy ***
<2> poutine, just wait.. i'll let you remote something
<5> a PIC, a tcp/ip stack, a few relays, and you can you can control most basic devices.
<2> Al-Ashtar, haha
<3> tcp stack on a PIC?
<3> doubtful
<3> well not doubtful that you could do it in a hackish way
<1> simmy: tell me more
<3> but doubtful that you could get any use out of a single PIC on that
<3> you could do PIC -> parallel
<3> quite easily
<5> Al-Ashtar : I wish I could. I know some theory, but that's about it.
<3> but that'd limit the devices you could have unless you made up for addressing
<5> my friend, Steve, is the electronics geek.
<3> his friend.
<3> Why is nobody here ever the actual geek?
<4> poutine: jealous of the fact that he has friends?
<1> geek means dumb ?
<4> Actual geeks live and gain fame in obscurity.
<2> simmy, i schooled electronics aswell ;P
<5> no... he's implying that since I don't do electronics, but have a friend that does, that I must not be a geek.
<3> the_ruthless, yeah, perhaps you forgot this was IRC
<5> Nevermind that I built a linux distro from scratch (with 88,000 lines of bash).
<3> simmy, I'm just saying I can never have an actual debate with someone on a technical topic because they cop out when I start asking questions
<3> lol bash is like mIRC scripting
<1> this guy is so negative
<3> I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just pointing out that writing something in bash is no real accomplishment
<5> nah... he's just mastered the art of trolling.
<6> i do electronics.. does that make me a geek? :P
<4> Al-Ashtar: yeah, he bashed my effort at installing Gentoo all the way.
<5> poutine : You ever write and maintain 88,000 lines of code? (regardless of the content)
<6> and i do it for "fun" too :S
<4> I play role-playing games. Does that make me a geek?
<1> instead of making fun poutine. let's see you do it "Mr I developed an application for a cashier"
<5> screw this...
<3> simmy, I maintain a POS system written in C/GTK that is in multiple stores. I take care of every aspect of their business with my programming and they trust me with it
<5> It's time for on-topic time!
<1> yes
<4> simmy: oh no, not that again! ;P
<3> simmy, How many people use your distro? How many of those users did it because they thought it'd get them ops?
<5> poutine : no one got ops based on it. And no one uses it now because I stopped development of it because gentoo served the niche I was going after.
<5> they were FAR ahead of me, development-wise, so rather than try to play catch-up over a fun little project, I just moved on to other things.
<4> pmo: what is that? (Or do you mean the actual mountain range?)
<2> lol no
<2> smokes :P
<4> Are they any good?
<2> menthol in the filters :P
<5> So.... how about that linux?!
<2> yea they are "fresh"
<4> I'm unsure about this whole menthol filter thingies, pmo. ;P
<5> linux....
<5> come on, guys.... on-topic.
<4> How to get the scroll wheel working in X?
<2> its like those candy cigs the_ruthless
<1> simmy: talk about something and we'll jump into it
<3> why does everything have to be on topic? I'm more likely to read this channel and casually answer someone if I'm having a discussion with someone else about something that is actually interesting
<5> the_ruthless : you've got to use a protocol that supports z axis mapping.
<4> simmy: and then it'll just automagically work?
<5> poutine : Because when a troll disrupts the channel like you have, the only effective way I've found to diffuse the situation is to either kickban everyone that's causing a disruption or to yank the place back on-topic.
<5> your "discussion" turned into an accusitory ****-waving contest.
<3> simmy, people seem to be hanging on my every word, I can't help it. They're even memorizing what I say
<3> Jim Jones would have used linux
<3> I think he would have been a gentoo guy
<3> the psychological torture it dishes out is more than he achieved with jonestown
<1> poutine: can I ask you 3 questions please ?
<7> tried Solaris?
<3> solaris is a work of art
<5> Anyone else see taht a new ext filesystem is coming? ext4... support for bigger filesystems... a move away from the old ext2 while still maintaining ext3 compatibility, and a huge code cleanup from the old ext2 tree... Mmmmmm sounds juicy.
<3> Al-Ashtar, 2 to go.
<5> solaris != linux. Please take solaris ciscussions elsewhere.
<1> poutine: what are you running now ?
<3> what if we're talking about porting dtrace to linux since solaris has opened the source to it?
