<0> How's that good?
<1> ThomasM: because I was looking for them?
<0> Ah.
<0> http://pics.obra.se/pic07091qn.jpg
<2> I need to fiddle with my camera to take out the iR filter in it
<1> ThomasM: collecting everything I need for my 2006 taxes
<1> still have two T4s and a T4E outstanding
<2> have not got my w4's yet
<0> Nanuq: Yeah, I'm not entirely looking forward to that. Luckily, I think there's only one customer not sending me a 1099 and they only gave me $200.
<0> This year I'm using an online invoicing system for all freelance work, so that it's all well documented.
<0> s/w4/w2/;
<1> Have my T5 and most all of my receipts.
<2> ThomasM: heh. figured if I double it so would the refund
<1> ThomasM: need to figure out how much/if I'll contrib to my RSP this year (for last year)
<0> XyZzY: You sign a W4 when you start work. It's actually you agreeing to pay the IRS. There's no other official document that requires you to pay US income tax. Technically, of course. The IRS still comes after you, and you must be quite careful to pull it off. And any employer requires you to sign a W4 (they, themselves, have agreed to require you to sign it). You can only get away with not paying taxes if you freelance.
<0> And "get away" is a pretty rough term, as your kids aren't eligible for financial aid (no taxes filed, no taxes to report) among many other things.
<1> hmm
<1> more than I recall. okay.
<3> abe natsumi - anata iro
<4> Jostein: like you have to work at it ?
<3> whitecap: sure I do. it's a fulltime job
<3> whitecap: deciphering japanese ID3s 4:30am on a friday/saturday aint easy
<1> whitecap
<4> Nanuq: hi
<4> gah, cuntry, that's worse
<4> not a typo either
<1> whitecap: country?
<1> whitecap: oh well she's not that bad.
<4> no, i spelled it right, would be the only reason it hit my ears
<3> Otsuka Ai is awesome
<3> having her concerts in 1920x1080 doesnt make me like her les :D
<4> Playing 01_Baba_ORiley.flac.
<4> there, some real music
<3> whitecap: despite being labeled "jpop", otsuka ai is really nice :D
<4> Jostein: i'll hit you up for some tracks some time
<3> whitecap: sure. but now is probbaly not the best time
<4> Jostein: same here
<3> whitecap: it's almost 5am here. but you should be in good shape still ;)
<4> Fri Jan 26 19:50:34 PST 2007
<4> just got home from tavern a bit ago, heating supper, sipping beer and hitting the bowl
<3> jostein@kamei:~$ time
<3> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
<3> :P
<5> he's one o' them damned Winders hipies
<3> heheh
<3> exis
<3> GAH
<5> so evil it's impossible to spell its name correctly
<3> whisky is nice too :)
<6> Drunkards
<3> it's friday :)
<0> Jostein: Yeah. Whiskey trumps rum.
<3> I prefer whisky :P
<3> whisky = scottish ****. whiskey = the rest
<4> gah, bourbon or JD if your hitting spirits
<1> reality_: Not I!
<6> Not I either. I don't drink.
<1> reality_: I'm cutting back on that.
<1> reality_: Coffee and tea are my poisons. ;)
<1> reality_: Literally, in the case of the former, and how I prep it. ;)
<6> Diet Pepsi and black tea here
<6> I can't stomach coffee at all
<1> reality_: black and green tea. usually black. Typhoo or Twinnings Earl Grey.
<1> all plain. no sugar, no milk. s'all good.
<1> ditto with coffee.
<3> I have my coffee plain and plenty :D
<6> Ying Ming Yunnan here
<6> with a little bit of honey
<6> None of that teabag **** that they sell in the grocery
<4> this is the time of week to talk about beer, congnac and bourbon, not tea and coffee
<7> can someone please ****ing tell me why the hell BSG was an old episode today? what the hell is it with TV networks ****ing up the seasons with these weeks off and **** all randomized throughout the season this year?
<3> whitecap: yup
<2> safemode: because they are ***tards?
<2> I have yet to see them do something for the people
<3> safemode: they air new episodes on SUNDAYs now
<3> safemode: in case you missed the news
<2> they shuffle them around to mess with you recording them for one
<6> XyZzY: That isn't hard to get around seeing as new episodes don't have the Rerun tag on them
<7> between House, heroes, jericho, and bsg.. I've got no ****ing clue what time or when a new episode is going to air

<6> safemode: Build a media center
<8> how do I find if a program is installed?
<6> profXavier: This channel isn't for you
<7> hrm... maybe in the future.. right now building one to simply do DVR isn't cost effective
<8> where is a better one then?
<6> profXavier: You need either #linuxnewbie(s) or #linuxhelp
<6> safemode: It's pretty damn cheap to build one
<7> not cheaper than 50 bucks
<6> This is true.
<7> i'm thinking it's more along the lines of 300 bucks
<6> safemode: More like $400ish
<6> safemode: Main cost in the graphics card ($80), TV tuner (~$85ish), motherboard+CPU ($150-200), ram (720 minimum)
<6> Wow... 768 minimum
<7> yea, see, I dont really have the need for that right now.. i'll try back again after july when all the cable companies in the area are forced to use cable cards and third party companies are producing digital cable boxes rather than the cable companies dictating them. perhaps by then, I wont need to worry about building my own.. some cheap *** ready made one will do what i want.
<6> Don't know where that 20 came from
<7> what's the purpose of the graphics card?
<6> Scaling
<6> You want one with full GPU support for hardware acceleration
<6> If you don't, your **** will be jerky as hell
<6> Also, you can p*** deinterlacing off to the GPU as well
<7> seems like the job more for an embedded setup than a plain old x86. there's a lot of wasted energy in that setup
<6> Not a whole lot of wasted energy. You have to remember that you're both recording as well as viewing at the same time in a lot of cases.
<6> You're dealing with large streams of data coming off of a hardware mpeg encoder (and even more coming off of YUV seeing as you'll be on the fly processing that to mpeg2)
<7> yea, but embedded type chips will handle that data a lot better than general purpose x86
<7> and your gpu will spend a majority of it's time doing nothing.
<6> Believe me, your GPU will be overly busy.
<7> doing what? scaling?
<6> You got to remember that you're taking a 480i input and upscaling it to your monitor/TV resolution.
<6> Along with deinterlacing it at the same time
<7> deinterlacing is easy
<6> Deinterlacing and filtering on a non-GPU system will send your CPU up to 80% quickly
<7> the majority of the gpu deals with 3d anyway, you can scale and offload deinterlacing all you want, the majority of the gpu is just going to go to waste because it deals with textures and ****
<7> i've been encoding dvds for more than half a decade, kernel deinterlacing ( the nicest looking de-interlacing ) is extremely fast.. without offloading to a gpu
<6> It is completely different encoding a DVD than encoding an mpeg2 stream while viewing that stream as well.
<7> you can scale and colorspace change in gpu all you want it's not going to tax the gpu... that part of the gpu is tiny compared to the 3d section that an overwhelming majority of the encoding process doesn't take advantage of
<9> ph33r the uptime: 21:14:45 up 20 days, 22:56, load average: 0.19, 0.04, 0.01
<6> I mean ****, you don't have to take my word for it, but you are talking to somebody who worked on the mythtv project for several years before switching over to a WMCE machine after the last mythtv 0.2 branch.
<9> egad...libolt has some cores which just reek, folks
<6> libolt: Plug that **** up.
<10> tehre we go
<9> bwhahahaha!
<6> Protein
<7> I dont have any doubt it is done and can be done.. I just dont see how you can't acknowledge that using PC hardware to do a very specific task is wasteful when there are embedded solutions that can do the same job with much less horsepower ... it just requires different software ...which is the only reason why things like mythTV exist.. because it's easier...purely from a software standpoint. I'm more interested in not having a
<7> nother 300watts being in use anyways it's shower time
<6> You could do the same **** with a damn vcr if you wanted to...
<6> But, I have yet to see a viable embedded system come along which does the job of either mythtv or WMCE
<11> guess you'd have to define "the job"
<12> the job is something you do to make money
<11> mythtv gave me some "value-adds"
