<0> decent carpet looks nice, but don't ever take it up... then it becomes nasty.
<1> the crap that gets inside carpet in one day is gross
<1> and I'm in a wall-to-wall carpetted house <blech>
<2> also the solvent offgas from new carpet..
<1> brb - tele
<2> bah, everyone's screwed anyway..
<0> Aliens control the world.. They are just using us like cattle.
<0> Thus all the missing children report.. Children are like eating veal to us.
<0> there we go.. last plane painted.
<2> what kind of paint do you use?
<0> bad paint.
<0> Its normal stuff you find in the walmart craft section.
<3> Their acrylic paint?
<3> That stuff's not bad actually
<0> No because I don't need thinner.. I just clean the brushes with water.
<0> my acrylic paint was crap because it separated years ago.
<0> figz, why?
<2> just curious, acrylic or enamel
<0> sorry your right, Rndpkt.
<0> Folk Art .. acrylic
<0> It is my enamel paints that I had to throw out.
<0> rndpkt, I'm just not complete impressed with Folk Art. It works fine for normal painting, but the paint grain just feels too big for 1:144 scale.
<0> /complete/completely/
<0> Most of the time I need two coats of paint to get nice coverage.
<0> bah you and the Red Queen would make a good pair... Wait.. Are you dating the red queen?!
<1> lol
<1> <-- jack of hearts

<4> didnt someoen already paste this here?
<0> yes
<4> [02:11pm] <@Mouring> http://blog.ebrahim.org/media/gmail_bummer.jpg <chuckle>
<4> hehe
<1> probably where I got it from heh
<1> I just say it open in my browser, laughed, pasted it here and closed the tab
<1> say = saw
<1> anyone have a gpg plugin for gmail yet?
<2> watched paul and his whiney wife bitch and holler at the newfoundlaund seal hunt on larry king.. heh
<0> 18k gold leaf.. contains Ethanol and Soluble Copper... Oddly no gold.
<0> I've heard more podcast NPR/Tech snippets of people for some odd free speech groups susprised more people don't encrypt all their email.
<1> most people couldn't point to Canada on a map though, so are you going to explain to them how to install and use a PKI solution? :)
<2> look at paul
<0> My predictional is SSL/TLS SMTP will become more common than PKI for email.
<1> Paul who? :)
<2> he couldn't figure out that PEI isn't part of newfoundland, or for that matter that newfoundland isn't all of canada
<1> SSL/TLS doesn't resolve issues PKI does, but of course I agree
<2> paul.. you know.. john lennon's second fiddle..
<0> yashy, right.. PKI is end-to-end.. where SSL/TLS is just securing the connection between servers.
<1> Paul McCartney? I didn't see the interview, but I hardly see him as society's top 100000 issues
<2> PKI is doomed.. aspires too much to perfection, loses on ease of use
<1> Mouring: SSL/TLS takes no thoughts from the user.. if PKI was the same, it'd be more successfull
<2> ssh is a much better model.. it's "good enough" in the vast majority of cases, and it's dead easy..
<0> Only way encryption for email will be comon is if it just exist in the mail client. Like Notes.
<1> a decent PKI filesystem would be ultimate
<0> Notes has encryption builtin.. Even the mail-in database can be encrypted.
<0> But if you lose your notes key file? You are ****ed 10 ways to sunday since you can't recover it.
<1> www.ciphire.com has been making headlines in human rights NGO circles
<0> unlike an unecrypted mail-in database.
<2> I probably still have 1280bit pgp keys circa 1997 is various rings.. can't remember the last time I forced someone to look them up though.
<0> Dean Stockwell is on BSG!
<2> heh, because he was so good on enterprise?
<1> yashy.com/yashy.asc I just created a new keypair today
<2> xena's doing an episode too..
<0> He was on Enterprise?
<2> sure.. you don't think they could cast scott bacula in a lead and not get dean stockwell to do a character role or two, do you?
<0> Watched 6 shows of Enterprise and decided it was too bad to watch.
<2> it really was rather horrible
<2> ironically it had a string of about half a dozen good episodes in the last season
<3> It had a few good ones, but overall it was bad
<3> I think it's very funny that some idiot gmail user keeps giving out MY gmail address to people.
<3> Someone named 'jen'
<3> Which is funny because they e-mail this person about making plans for "tomorrow" and all sorts of stuff.
<1> oh the potential there Rnd...
<1> got enough to know what city they're in? :)
<3> Not city
<3> Someone in New Youk
<3> She seems to be on some activist mailing list
<2> I had some guy try to transfer my gmail account to his "send mail as" list.. I failed to click on the authorization for him..
<3> She also seems to be taking a vacation to "South Yarmouth" wherever that is
<5> i get p***word-change attempts all the time
<5> (unrequested ones)
<2> pkt, nova scotia
<5> also endless misaddressed mail
<3> Ah
<3> Make sense
<2> hmm.. also a maine yarmouth, apparently
<2> I get a fair amount of spam that seems to be simple blind dictionary sending too..
<3> Ahhh
<3> I foudn her real address
<3> I should e-mail her and tell her to get her act together
<5> i do get some there, but not as much as my pobox.com addresses
<3> Either that or GMail has an addressing problem
<5> i think they might have an addressing problem
<5> i get mails with To: c.stone@gmail.com
<5> although i don't know what the envelope RCPT TO was
<3> That would make sense
<3> My gmail is jmccormick
<5> but, like, they're apparently legitimately misaddressed
<3> and this person is jen.mccormick
<3> Yeah, all of these seem legitimately misaddressed
<3> I also get a lot of spam for an address that's never been posted anywhere
<0> figz, did Dean play a priest on Enterprise? Because thats the role he plays on this BSG show.
<3> I can't believe NTP got $612M from RIM
<1> as a person trying to get a patent in Canada, that's not very promising
<1> people will no longer patent ideas as a result I fear
<3> Especially since the USPTO was/is looking at invalidating the patent.
<1> unless you work for a multinational
<3> Well, the problem is that patent abuse is too rampant
<1> it was difficult enough a week ago, without this case
<3> Shouldn't affect you
<3> There was no ruling
<3> It was an out-of-course settlemetn
<1> it sets a bad non-legal precedence
<1> right now I patent something in Canada for example, say it costs me only $500cdn
<1> anyone else witha previous patent, even remotely related (or not) has the right to challenge me legally on mine
<1> that can get so costly alone, it's not funny
<3> I still don't see where this affects you at all
<5> but ntp-rim isn't the first time this happened
<5> i mean
<1> just start a company with capital and choke any person who is trying to patent something on their own
<5> ntp sued a bunch of other people too
<5> and they all settled
<5> this happens constantly
<1> it's not a unique case, just has a lot of money and media in this story
<1> but allows you to understand how the patent system ****s if you're an idea kinda person
<3> WEll, the problem is the patent system hasn't been reformed to deal with new things
<3> 100 years ago, a 17 year span for something was reasonable
<3> And patents were narrowly granted
<1> I invented a product that will never make it to market as a result, that would better society
<0> The person I'm worried about is that guy that somehow got a patent on "Interacting Web Sites".. the ex-Macromedia employee.
<1> I can't afford to be legally challenged it wasn't my idea, and any company can challenge me for the IP
<3> The problem is "method" patents
<0> yashy, just don't do business in the US.. Then you don't have to worry. =-)
<1> Imagine my idea was a cure for aids.. shouldn't the patent process be simple?
<1> Mouring: the capitalist market surrounds the US.. but that is an interesting subject as well. YOu need to register you patent in EVERY country for it to apply in that country. Pick a random $1000.. that adds up if you're getting a patent in every single country..
<5> if you have something that's a cure for aids, the patent system is simple compared to both the research you've done to prove it and the country-specific approval processes necessary to get it used anywhere
<1> IMHO it'd be easier to prove right now that X helps aids patients survive vs a patent being internationally legalized.. both in cost and time.
<2> not to mention the patent system has been turned on its head of late
<5> well that might be your opinion, but it's really not the case
<5> drugs take many years to develop and test, approval trials do too
<2> rather than protecting inventors of novel products against idea stealing, instead it's been used of late to obtain overly general patents that lie in wait for use against people who come up with genuinely novel ideas and try to implement them.
<2> ie, used to be a perpetual motion machine could never get a patent, because no would be patent holder could ever demonstrate one, a requirement for getting the patent
<2> now there are several, because the patent system has gotten lax
<2> basically the us patent office is happy to take money for any silly thing, and let the lawyers fight it out when the crunch comes.. which is exactly the situation that the patent system was originally designed to avoid
<0> to say nothing that the patents take 4 to 5 years to be granted, and technology has progressed a lot of times to use ideas or methods being patented and most don't realize they are following the same steps.
