wazdSo, I see everybody finaly understood tht nokia will allow to custmize n900 but without limitations :)00:05
*** lbt has joined #maemo00:05
RST38hthat was kinda obvious wasn't it?00:06
wazdRST38h: well, mass-media didn't think so :)00:06
zerojayMass media was reporting on the n900?00:07
RST38hwazd: bloggers you mean...00:07
*** jofjdi has joined #maemo00:07
wazdIt's pretty stupid to think that nokia will slap the hands of careers no allowing to modify cause it's damn opposite way of "openess" :)00:08
javispedrohey, I've seen printed articles about the n900...00:08
RST38hthere are really three different actions there:00:08
zerojayYou have?00:08
RST38h1) adding custom stuff 2) locking custom stuff 3) removing features00:08
javispedroI have? :)00:09
RST38h#1 is pretty harmless so why not?00:09
RST38h#2 is also relatively tolerable at least for Nokia00:09
zerojayI've never seen a print article about the tablets.00:09
wazdRST38h: I remember great quote of Walt MossPuppet: "Hey, I've sent you a link! -Hey!! I've sent you a link too! Great! We're journalists!" :D00:09
zerojayOr ever seen anyone else with one.00:09
javispedrozerojay: me neither.00:09
RST38hwazd: Bloggers are such...mm...bloggers.00:10
javispedrobut the n900 is not a tablet, but a "new phone" :P00:10
wazdjavispedro: well, it is :)00:10
RST38hjavis: wrong, it is a mobile computer :)00:10
zerojayMaemo device then. Heh.00:10
*** ustunozgur_ has quit IRC00:11
javispedroThe mass media "article" i'm thinking of said "phone".00:11
JoeBraindoesn't the Nokia website say "communications computer" ? :D00:13
RST38hthat's new00:13
javispedro"linux gizmo"00:13
RST38hanyway, it's a comlog00:13
RST38hlet us just call it comlog and stop at that00:13
zerojayThey've been calling all their phones multimedia devices for so long now.00:13

ShellEviltrue00:20
ShellEvilAlso - the device list is pointles00:20

JoeBrainI think the bumper sticker needs a different tag line than both of those00:29
wazdHe's not jerking or pooping in the bus, he's just happy00:29
RST38hmaybe he is a terrorist?00:29
wazdRST38h: terrorists usualy poop :D00:29
RST38hbefore or after the laugh? =)00:29
ShellEvilIt can't be a tagline that only the involved will understand either00:30
wazdRST38h: same time :)00:30
wazdShellEvil: well, that's my point00:30
JoeBrainOOoooooh I like Maemo forum's captcha system.00:30
JoeBrainShellEvil: especially when the non-involved might be misled into thinking it's something else entirely..00:31
wazdShellEvil: I actually came up with "I have loads of stuff in my trunk" - it's funny for those who don't know and it's understandable and funny for those who do :)00:31

pupnikThe main motivation for VAAPI (Video Acceleration API) is to enable hardware accelerated video decode/encode at various entry-points (VLD, IDCT, Motion Compensation etc.) for the prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and VC-1/VMW3).   http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi00:57

bobbydI was wondering if there's any support for sipe (the office communicator protocol) in any maemo app, or if it's possible to run Pidgin?02:58
endorphinumgooood morning everyone :)02:58
bobbydI'm considering getting an n900 over an iphone02:58
endorphinumbobby: u better do02:58
ShellEvilOr we Keeeeeel you!02:59
bobbydif I can connect to the office IM server, that would do it for me02:59
ShellEvil(well  - probably not.)02:59
bobbydwhat does the chat in the n900 use?02:59
bobbydShellEvil: there's a plugin for pidgin02:59
ShellEvilI do know that you can definately use pidgin - though I'm unsure if it's the default02:59
bobbydI use that under Ubuntu and it works well02:59
endorphinumshelll: pdigin might be all you need :)02:59
bobbydI'd love to add support to the default chat program03:00
endorphinumpidgin rocks. just like miranda does03:00
*** Federico2 has quit IRC03:00
bobbydthe one thing I'm concerned about is having lots of applications that don't look good, making the phone look like a mess03:00
ShellEvilNow tends to be a moderately quiet time.03:01
bobbydare all applications skinned using the current theme on the n900?03:01
ShellEvilYeah - there aren't _huge_ numbers of polished apps.03:01
ShellEvilIphone does have that of course - but there are some things apps simply can't do on iphone.03:01
ShellEvilLook at the comedy over the C64 emulator.03:01
bobbydyep, I understand the functionality over beauty argument, but I'd like it to look nice too if possible :D03:02
endorphinumbobby: you checked out my online project ?03:03

bobbydendorphinum: nope03:03

endorphinumthnx. at the moment i am seeking a way to develop a maemo app that would make it run fullscreen.03:07

*** jhford is now known as zz_jhford03:47
luke-jrbobbyd: Qt. Which means a rewrite of all the terrible code in the existing Maemo.03:49
bobbydahh03:50
bobbydis it gtk at the moment?03:50
bobbydand will the n900 support version 6?03:50
luke-jrbobbyd: unlikely, Nokia has a history of dropping support for hardware before even the next generation of hardware is released03:51
bobbydhmm03:52
luke-jrfor example the N810 hasn't been supported for at least 9 months03:52
bobbydthat's not good03:52
Sho_well, the problem with Maemo 5 on the N810 is the lack of OpenGL03:52
luke-jrMaemo 5 supports Qt apps though03:52
Sho_theoretically, there's no similar tech hurdle with Maemo 6 on the N90003:52
luke-jrSho_: did Nokia make the 770 hacker edition?03:52
Sho_luke-jr: no idea03:53
luke-jranyhow03:53
luke-jrit would be nice if they would fix XMPP support in OS200803:53
luke-jrand the GPS03:53
Sho_luke-jr: but the opengl problem also prevents an "n810 hacker edition", at least a straight-forward one03:53
bobbydLuke-Jr so you think there's no poin in getting the n900? May as well just wait for the next one?03:53
Sho_luke-jr: whereas the community should be in a much better position to backport maemo 6 to the n900 if necessary,03:53
Sho_theoretically03:54
luke-jrbobbyd: the N900 is the first to support cell phone03:54
luke-jrbobbyd: I would get it if the specifications for the hardware were open03:54
luke-jrsince I just got a N810 though (and regret it), I will probably wait to find a more ideal hardware platform03:55
luke-jreven if it means it comes with Windows and I need to port Linux03:55
bobbydLuke-Jr what abou the android stuff?03:55
bobbydhtc hero03:55
luke-jrbobbyd: I hear Android has the same problems03:56
luke-jrand Android is more Java-centric and known to have locked/closed platforms03:56
bobbydI still think the n900 looks pretty good considering everything out there03:56
bobbydhow are you feeling limited by the 810?03:57
luke-jrthe GPS doesn't work right, and both it and\ BME is closed03:57
*** xxiao has joined #maemo03:57
bobbydit's actually broken?!03:58
luke-jrmostly03:58
luke-jrintermittant03:58
luke-jreven when it does work, it works poorly03:58
bobbydthat's poor03:58
bobbydwhy would they bother to release something that didn't work?03:58
luke-jrNokia has no interest in getting TI to give us specs since N900 uses a different GPS chip03:59
*** mkpaa has joined #maemo03:59
luke-jrbobbyd: I think some of the problems are time-based03:59
luke-jrsome of the problems aren't manifest in Maemo03:59
bobbydyou mean they're rushing to get it out?03:59
luke-jrone of the problems works with Linux 2.6.21 because of a bug that was fixed in 2.6.2704:00
*** Ryback_ has quit IRC04:00
luke-jrbobbyd: a lot of the problems are inherited from TI I think04:01
luke-jrI can only imagine the N900 will be closed on the 3D and cell phone bits too04:02
Sho_though there are a lot more open TI-related bits in this one than in the N81004:03
luke-jrSho_: ?04:03
luke-jrthe only deficiencies in the N810 were battery charger (not TI) and GPS04:04
luke-jreven if N900 GPS is open spec, the new closed bits probably outnumber it?04:04
Sho_luke-jr: A lot more of the drivers for the SoC are open and even in the kernel mainline, and the biggie is probably that the DSP framework is now open as is access to the DSP04:04
luke-jrO.o04:04
luke-jrDSP is the same as N810?04:04
*** MaceN8x0 has joined #maemo04:04
Sho_luke-jr: I.e. it's actually possible to, say, throw in a Vorbis decoder there that uses the DSP, and thus leaves the main CPU free to do other stuff04:05

*** dieb__ has quit IRC04:30
bobbydok, I think I'll get one anyway as it looks excellent to me04:31
GAN800bobbyd, the reality is that Nokia has been one of the biggest drivers behind TI's recent movement towards openness.04:32
GAN800They're the ones that got the STLC43xx spec released, too.04:33

bobbydI'll get the SDK up on my other machine and see how I go04:34
GAN800luke-jr is more interested in supporting Windows on a closed platform with leaked specs than supporting open source on a mostly open (but not 100% open) platform that's getting more open every year.04:34
bobbydyeah, he seems rather disgruntled04:35
*** MaceN8x0 has quit IRC04:35

bobbydGAN800: are there any significant problems that you know if with the n900?04:35
bobbyds/if/of04:36
GAN800Only big one is that oFono is still too young to ship in Maemo 5 so the phone stack is still mostly closed.04:36

bobbydhas anyone got an lspci or other info from the n900 yet?04:42
GAN800USB is OTG, so you either need to switch in software or use an OTG adaptor (pin 5 grounded).04:43

bobbydok :)05:25
zerojayPCThe tablets use Telepathy for stuff like chat protocols.05:25
smackpotatonight05:26
zerojayPCTelepathy has a plugin called haze which allows us to use Pidgin protocol plugins on the tablets.05:26
*** smackpotato has left #maemo05:26
zerojayPCIt's what I've used to add support for Facebook chat, Twitter, etc...05:26
bobbydoh cool05:27
zerojayPCSo it should be possible to use the SIPE plugin from Pidgin through telepathy-haze to talk on  your company's Communicator server.05:27
zerojayPCI haven't tried that particular plugin yet though.05:27
bobbydso all we'd need to do would be to recompile the sipe plugin (just hit the n900 box, right?) and we're good to go :)05:27
*** svu_ has joined #maemo05:27
zerojayPCAnyways, as I said... no, won't be out of the box. There's a group of guys, Collabora, who I talk to from time to time and they are working on getting support for these extra protocols into the tablet.05:27
esaym153Wow good deal, I am impressed with mine so far: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220402500347&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT05:28
zerojayPCSo after launch, there will probably be a package that implements the protocols.05:28
zerojayPCI don't know that SIPE is on the list however.05:28
bobbydI've actually done a lot of ARM development in the past, so recompiling the sipe plugin should be relatively simple05:28
zerojayPCAnd it's a bit more involved than just recompiling the plugin as you have to tell haze what it needs to know about the protocol... what it supports, etc...05:28
bobbydsipe is a big deal in a lot of companies, we used to use XMPP, but unfortunately they changed it05:29
bobbydxmpp worked fine for three years :)05:29
zerojayPCYeah, I work for Ubisoft and we have to use SIPE so... believe me, it matters to me too.05:29
bobbydcool05:29
bobbydI work for Realtime Worlds, and we have a bizzare mix of open source and MS stuff05:29
zerojayPCSo like I said... it should be possible as long as the Pidgin plugin's any good.05:30
bobbydmostly the MS stuff comes from our OPs team05:30
bobbydthe pidgin plugin is pretty good now, was flaky for a long time05:30

MacerzerojayPC: because they were targeting a younger audience who probably couldn't grasp the conscept of using all the buttons06:10
zerojayPCDownright insulting the player's intelligence.06:10
Macerand the real older crowd ;)06:10
Macermy father06:10
Macerwho for the life of him couldn't even use a pocket calculator06:11
Macerwas able to play tiger woods golf like it was nothing with the wii06:11
zerojayPCAnd that's what keeps it from being fun for the people that have gotten Nintendo to this point.06:11
Macertry teaching him to play madden football on a ps306:11
qwerty12zerojayPC, I still prefer my Dreamcast over the Wii...06:11
Macerand he would have to go to special classes06:11
zerojayPCNo challenge... gameplay depth is near nil.06:11

Macerqwerty12: heh.. don't they have the same cpu power? ;)06:11
zerojayPCqwerty12: Same here. I just got a new Dreamcast, actually.06:11
Macergpu and all?06:12
Maceri know a wii has a cheesy radeon gpu with like a 600MHz ppc cpu or something?06:12
zerojayPCNo. Wii's more powerful than the Dreamcast.06:12
qwerty12No, Dreamcast is weaker (can't remember the specifics but running VCDs on it were the rage...)06:12
zerojayPCBut no one pushes the Wii at all, so it's hard to tell.06:12
MacerzerojayPC: haha06:13
Macerthey don't? :)06:13
zerojayPCMacer: They don't.06:13
Macerwii and dreamcast have the same problem06:13
Maceri miss sega consoles tho :(06:13
Macersega was so great in their prime06:13
GAN800Conduit looks pretty good.06:13
zerojayPCNo, Dreamcast was fucked from the beginning thanks to EA giving them the finger.06:14
MacerzerojayPC: sports games do not make a console ;)06:14
Maceralthough i suppose ea has a few other games that don't suck06:14
GAN800zerojayPC, depth is there with the right games.06:14
pupnik_pricey too iirc06:14
zerojayPCMacer: EA puts out a hell of a lot more than sports games. When the world's biggest 3rd party publisher says no to your console, you are done.06:14
MacerzerojayPC: i figured the downfall was due more so to lack of copy protection than anything else06:15
zerojayPCAll because of Saturn's failure.06:15
Macerjust wait until nintendo starts to feel it considering all a wii needs is a software hack06:15
zerojayPCMacer: That's part of it. I work with a guy that was in Sega of Europe on the technical support team for developers. He told me why the piracy worked.06:15
Macerwhy piracy works? hahaha06:15
zerojayPCMacer: Sega of Japan struck some deal with a Japanese singer.06:15
Macerer06:16
esaym153lol sega06:16
zerojayPCAnd the singer wanted her new CD with some special added shit for computers to work on the Dreamcast as well.06:16
Macerto not add copy protection to the saturn in exchange for a free sound track?06:16
zerojayPCSega added the ability to run it.06:16
zerojayPCAnd then the CD got canned.06:16
zerojayPCThey forgot to remove the ability to run them.06:16
Macerwow. it's like tech jerry springer06:16
Macerhahhahaa!!06:16
Macerawesome06:17
zerojayPCSo... the piracy on the Dreamcast is all because of some random Japanese popstar that no one remembers. lol06:17
Macerlol06:17
Macerwas the piracy why ea gave them the finger? :)06:17
zerojayPCNo.06:17
Macerwow06:17
Macerfigured that was it06:17
Macerea is extremely anti-piracy06:17
zerojayPCSega putting out the 32x and the Saturn so closely together was the reason there.06:17
Macerugh06:17
zerojayPCAlso, EA had their own console.06:17
Macerthe 32x06:18
Macerthey did?06:18
Macerwtf?06:18
Macer:)06:18
zerojayPCYes, they sure did.06:18
zerojayPC3D0.06:18
Maceroh yeah!06:18
Macerdamn. i totally forgot about the 3do06:18
Macerthgat thing was worse than the wii hahaha06:18
zerojayPCThey spun off the company that made 3D0 before launch. Trip Hawkins, the EA CEO, headed it up.06:18
zerojayPCAnd a lot of EA's big titles now all come from 3D0 days.06:18
Macerthey should have fired him06:18
zerojayPCNeed for Speed, 3d versions of their sports games...06:18
Maceri remember the 3DO having this...06:19
Macerawkward controller06:19
Macerthat looked like a tv remote control06:19
zerojayPCDepends on which 3D0 you got.06:19
Maceri thought it was O not 006:19
zerojayPCThe Panasonic 3D0 was terrible. The Goldstar 3D0 had a great controller.06:19
zerojayPCWhatever.06:19
Maceroh06:19
Macerthey didn't make it themselves?06:19
Macerno wonder it failed :)06:20
Macerhaha06:20
zerojayPCNo, they licensed out the tech.06:20
zerojayPCTo like... 5 different companies.06:20
Macerthought they could take the PC route or something?06:20
zerojayPCSomething like that.06:20
zerojayPCThey also made a PC card to play 3DO games, but it's rare.06:20
Macerdamn i totally forgot about that tho06:20
Macerthe 3DO06:20
Macer:)06:20
Maceri remember getting a segaCD06:20
Macerthen the 32X came out... and like everybody else i was pissed06:21
*** croppa has quit IRC06:21
Macerthen the saturn came out right after that and i gave up on consoles06:21
zerojayPCSega of America fucked that straight up. They didn't think people would be willing to pay for Saturn.06:21
MacersegaCD would have been great if they added more color to it06:21
Macerhaha06:21
Maceryeah and right after saturn06:21
Macerdreamcast06:21
Macerwtf? :)06:21
zerojayPCDreamcast was the first Sega system I owned.06:22
zerojayPCAnd I absolutely loved it.06:22
Macerwell.. not right after.. but close enough06:22
Maceryeah. dreamcast was pretty awesome06:22
Maceri was hoping it would get sega back in the game06:22
zerojayPCBought the Japanese console from someone with 5 games about 6 months before US launch for $500.06:22
Macerbut i guess not06:22
zerojayPCSold it to someone 2 weeks before US launch for $550. lol06:22
zerojayPCI killed 7 or 8 Dreamcasts.06:22
Macerkilled?06:23
zerojayPCKilled.06:23
zerojayPCBecause Sega fucked up.06:23
Macertook a hammer to them or something?06:23
zerojayPCNo, not quite.06:23
zerojayPCI was playing Phantasy Star Online constantly.06:23
zerojayPCHad like.. 5000 hours racked up.06:23
zerojayPCIn two years.06:23
zerojayPCBut Sega didn't properly author and master the disc.06:23
Macerdont they have phantasy star online for wii?06:24
zerojayPCThe file layout on it was completely messed up, so the laser would be all over the place accessing everything to play the next level instead of having it sequencially.06:24
zerojayPCGamecube.06:24
Macerah06:24
zerojayPCBecause of that problem, the laser would burn out far faster.06:24
Maceroh06:24
zerojayPCYou'd think that because the save games are kept on a memory card that it wouldn't matter though.. buy a new Dreamcast and keep playing, right?06:24
zerojayPCWRONG.06:24
zerojayPCPhantasy Star Online locked characters to specific consoles and specific memory cards.06:25
Maceromg that sucks06:25
Macerhaha06:25
zerojayPCSo... if you had a character you spent 2000 hours on, what do you do?06:25
zerojayPCYou do what I did.06:25
Macerstart over?06:25
zerojayPCBuy new Dreamcasts to harvest for parts.06:25
Macer:) or hack the mem card?06:25
Maceroh06:25
Macerhahahah06:25
zerojayPCI replaced everything in that Dreamcast 7 or 8 times.06:25
Macerwow.. you seriouslyt kept replacing the drive?06:25
zerojayPCNot just the drive.06:25
zerojayPCThe case, the power board, the controller ports.06:26
Maceri'd have given up the first time it screwed up06:26
Macer:)06:26
Macerand been so pissed that i'd ship it to sega with defication inside the box on top of it06:26
Macerbut. you just made me want to play wii :)06:26
Macerhaha06:26
zerojayPCShit.. the site my pic is on is down. Oh well.06:27
zerojayPCI didn't even have the top on it anymore.06:27
Maceri still haven't beaten mario galaxy..06:27
Maceri have the starts to get there but just haven't finished the last level06:27
zerojayPCJust a piece of tape to hold down the "lid closed" lever.06:27
Macerlol06:27
Macerwhy not just rewrite the disc?06:27
zerojayPCA pirate group eventually did do that.06:28

zerojayPCYes.06:30
zerojayPCThere's still shooters being made for it, especially in Japan.06:30
Maceri should order one06:30
Macerheh06:30
Macerbut meh06:30
Maceri'd rather wait and hope sega makes a new console06:30
zerojayPCThey won't.06:31
qwerty12macer: Dreamcast discs were not CD-ROMs - they were GD-ROMs which a computer couldn't read. so pirates would use serial or the rare ethernet adapter to transfer games06:31
zerojayPCqwerty12: Not entirely true.06:31
Macerqwerty12: i thought that was gamecube ;)06:31
Macerheh06:31
Macerthey had to use some phantasy star hack to xfer the games06:31
qwerty12There were some rare Yamaha drives I believe that could read them06:32
Macergd-rom06:32
zerojayPCYeah, there was an exploit in PSO's online connection code.06:32

RST38bisthat is supposed to create racially mixed schools12:39
Maceri am a firm believer of kids should only go to the school in their neighborhood12:39
aSIMULAterthey did that at my high school..some kids from inner city neighbourhoods given a scholarship to go to our school12:39
MacerRST38bis: so everybody is a one worlder?12:40
aSIMULAterthen they ended up being ridiculed just because of the area they grew up in12:40
aSIMULAtermust have been difficult12:40
RST38bisdid they do well?12:40
aSIMULAteri guess12:40
MaceraSIMULAter: but most kids that get the scholarships to go to private schooling are usually very bright12:40
Macerwhich even more so reduces the statistical probability of them killing other children :)12:40
aSIMULAterthey're bright yes, but because of their social status they were ridiculed which affected their studies12:41
RST38bismacer: my crystal balls fail to show me the reasoning used by education board members12:41
*** VDVsx has quit IRC12:41

MacerRST38bis: political points ;)12:41
Macerthat's it12:41
aSIMULAterthat would be a good mentality yes..but how would you explain the school shootings here in finland12:41
Macer"we gave poor children a chance at the best schools"12:41
Macerwhich really just dragged the whole school down12:42
RST38bisasimulator: ridiculing people by their soc status is silly12:42
aSIMULAterwhere you have 2 kids, who come from middle class families, going to their neighbourhood schools, shooting kids12:42
Macerrandom nuts12:42
Maceror their parents didn't beat their asses haha12:42
aSIMULAterRST38h: yes it is silly, but this is what happens when you go to a private school where the families are upper middle class12:42
RST38bisasimulater: does not happen here much12:42
aSIMULAterthere is that snob factor unfortunately12:43
Maceri had this discussion with a black friend of mine who works at CSU12:43
Maceri asked him why the black population considers other black people who have become successful sell outs :)12:43
Macerironically enough rich black people are ridiculed by their poorer counterparts12:43
Macerdon't get me wrong. this is true with all racial demographics12:44
Macerbut it seems to prevail in the black population.. he blamed it on socialism :)12:44
aSIMULAtersocialism heh12:44
RST38biswhat socialism?12:44
*** L0cMini9 has quit IRC12:44
Maceri should have saved the log it was an awesome debate haha12:44
aSIMULAteri don't see how socialism can be factored into that discussion12:45
Macerbut he meant socialism on a smaller scale.. and that most people are reminded of freedoms they do not have since they were unable to become as successful as the man who was able to escape the poor area12:45
aSIMULAterhuman nature, jealousy12:45
Macerso they hate from envy because they are reminded by the successful person12:45
Macerhow bad their life is :)12:45
* RST38bis does not see where they found socialism in us12:45
Maceri forgot how exactly he worded it but when he did it made sense12:46
Macerhaha12:46
aSIMULAterthere's a recent study that shows that mentally and physically our bodies are able to withstand traumatic experiences just fine and you can bounce back to "normality"12:46
Maceri believe he agreed with me when i said "if everybody is poor, then nobody is poor"12:46
aSIMULAterok now i get it12:46
*** slonopotamus_ has joined #maemo12:46
*** slonopotamus has quit IRC12:46
aSIMULAterbut what it boils down to is sheer jealousy12:46
Macerwhen people are poor they want everybody to be the same12:46
Macerso in the US12:47
Macerthe poor are socialist12:47
Macerwishing to spread all the wealth of an area12:47
Macerwhereas rich people are capitalistic12:47
RST38bisnot really12:47
MacerRST38bis: sure really12:47
Macerusually it is the poor people asking for more government spending12:47
Macerwhich really is nothing more than redistribution of wealth12:47
RST38bissocialism is not about making everybody poor12:47
Macerso the US is actually capitalistic socialism :)12:47
MacerRST38bis: no... it is about making everybody equal12:48
RST38bisalthough it often ends up that way12:48
RST38bismacer: not that even12:48
MacerRST38bis: haha. sure it is ;)12:48
RST38bismaking everybody equal is communism12:48
MacerSocialism refers to various theories of economic organization advocating public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources, and a society characterized by equal access to resources for all individuals with an egalitarian method of compensation.12:49
RST38bissocialism is about providing everyone with reasonable minimum12:49
RST38bisyou still make and spend money though12:50
Macerso you let the govt do it for you?12:50
Macer:)12:50
RST38biswell that is what govts do12:51
aSIMULAterit's funny how a lot of capitalists think that all poor people are "lazy" and they "want to stay the same"12:51
MacerSocialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through exploitation, creates an unequal society, does not provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximize their potentialities and does not utilize technology and resources to their maximum potential nor in the interests of the public.12:51
aSIMULAterthere's 150 million poor people in the US12:51
aSIMULAterso those 150 million people want to be in that position? :)12:51
Macerthat's from wikipedia12:51
Macerif you believe in wikipedia ;)12:51
Macerso it is fair to say that poor people are socialist12:51
Macerconsidering they are the ones who use the most of the distributed wealth of tax dollars12:52
johnxI believe *in* wikipedia. not necessarily everything on it12:52
RST38bismacer: too many words, leaving it open for interpretation either way12:52
aSIMULAterthat's bullshit macer12:52

MacerRST38bis: but that is off the topic.. the point is that most rich people are capitalist and most poor people seem socialist12:54

aSIMULAterof course, what's wrong with that exactly macer?12:59

Macerlike everybody carries a card that checks their bank accounts and if they go below the poverty line they are just simply melted on the spot for not being able to afford walking on the sidewalks13:03
johnxMacer, but you're still talking about ... shared sidewalks?13:04

angasulecan one buy batteries for the N900 from someone other than Nokia?21:50
Myrttion your own risk21:50
ShadowJKangasule, you can search for it21:50
ShadowJKNokia tends to use the same battery in many devices, so there's usually many third parties making them21:50
angasuleI'm not planning to, this is out of curiosity, is it legal, etc?21:50
GAN800Sure, there's a ton of Chinese clones.21:51
angasuleah, ok, thanks :)21:51
unixSnobwhat's the deal with these Nokia holograms on batteries?  Why does the consumer care about battery authenticity?21:51
GAN800Good luck getting comparable capacity, though.21:51
angasuleI wouldn't do it at all, though, the cost of a battery is nothing compared to the N900 + the data I would put in it21:51
MyrttiunixSnob: if the battery explodes inside your device...21:51
unixSnobaftermarket batteries often have more capacity.. that's teh selling point21:51
GAN800unixSnob, because non-Nokia batteries are explosion prone at worst and lower capacity at best.21:51
unixSnobah, so Nokia is voiding the warranty.. makes sense21:52
ShadowJKunixSnob, the Nokia hologram (and the code you can find beneath the black thick paint you can scratch off and enter on a nokia website for a one-time authenticity check) guarantees that the battery has been manufactured with Nokia's quality standards and is less likely to blow up :)21:52
GAN800No, they really don't.21:52
ShadowJKBtw, the much acclaimed mugen power battery that's rated at 1800mAh is really only 1200mAh21:52
ShadowJKmarketing inflation :)21:52
GAN800Many ADVERTISE higher capacity, but actually have lower capacity.21:52

ShadowJKif it blows up and destroys your device, then the warranty doesn't cover it :P21:56
GAN800Batteries are actually surprisingly recycleable.21:57
unixSnobangasule: yes, it's justified in the corner case of batter explosion, and the OEM swap won't work in that case.. so I don't have a problem with it.  But if nokia denies warranty on the screen because of a chinese battery, I would object21:57

ShadowJKUK is somewhat backwards, and I can't speak the language of other countries so I don't know how they do it :P22:03
unixSnobShadowJK: I think belgian customer service folks would laugh if I tried to make a warranty claim22:03
ShadowJKBut I do know that in .fi, it's always the seller's responsibility22:03
unixSnobShadowJK: so the seller must deal with the manufacturer?  I like that... that's a good system, because it's the seller that had a contract with the mfr in the first place22:04
ShadowJKyeah22:04
unixSnobShadowJK: hopefully you can still go to the manufacturer if the seller goes under22:04
ShadowJKAtleast with nokia you can go to nokia care22:05

unixSnobThe Mushroom Cultivator didn't suggest boiling the manure.  It was composted, and naturally came up to temp23:31

aSIMULAterso you just put your grain into manure?23:33
aSIMULAterwithout preparing the manure?23:33
unixSnobthe bacteria supposedly has some kind of necessary role in the composting23:33
qwerty12_N810lcukx41: When is the stuff in Fremantle extras-devel getting updated? I'd love to try it out here...23:33
unixSnobthe preperation was to mix water and some other things with the manure, and stir it daily23:33
unixSnobdid that for a week before it was "ready"23:33
unixSnobthat was per the guide.. but obviously something went wrong..  I may have added too much fertilizer23:34

unixSnobi simply won't use manure again... especially in a dorm.  Didn't do much to get me laid having a strong farm smell fuming from my door23:36

endorphinumhey guys, i am trying to find out how i could develop a fullscreen maemo application to play my mojocafe.net mojos on my n800. i downloaded aptana as IDE so the main question is: do i realy realy realy need linux for the sdk or could i grab somewhere the framework of a browser (what is all i need) to develop my own kind of "browser" !?23:52

*** edbartosh has quit IRC23:53
zerojayPCendorphinum: I'm even more confused now.23:53
wazdcan anybody tell how to turn it off completely?23:53
Jaffacrashanddie_: lcuk had some; and there are others on the interwebs23:53
JaffazerojayPC: A series of Flash files to give widget-like behaviour23:54
zerojayPCLike Chumby then.23:54
endorphinumzerojay: a fullscreen widget offering clocks, calendars etc. to mobile devices. it's done via Adobe Flash so what i am searching for is a way to script some kind of browser without any buttons but a link to http://www.mojocafe.net/go23:54
endorphinumzero: exactly. but that you are not fixed on one device as you can use it on any of your mobile devices that support at least flash lite 2.123:54
crashanddie_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX2KGh-aUno23:55
zerojayPCendorphinum: Chumby isn't either... except they don't tell you that. ;)23:55
zerojayPCendorphinum: Any reason a browser running full screen isn't good enough or...?23:56
zerojayPCWait.. the site says it supports previous Maemo versions already.23:56
endorphinumzero: correct - but my aim is not to offer a quantity of widgets but quality of widgets. i love the chumby gadget but when it comes to the content it simply just sucks. you have hundreds of thousands of widgets done by people that think that they are vector artist but unfortunately they aren't :)23:56
*** trbs2 has quit IRC23:56
zerojayPCendorphinum: Fair enough.23:57
endorphinumzero: the mojocafe.net allready works on any device with flash lite but i want to make the starting of it for the user as easy as possible. at the moment i am playing around with Aptana to develop a s60 WRT so that people can install a Mojocafe application on their mobile phone and start it from the app folder.23:57
zerojayPCendorphinum: Wouldn't a shortcut under applications that uses a dbus call to run the browser and send the user to the site be good enough?23:58
* zerojayPC thinks he confused himself midway through the sentence there.23:59
zerojayPCOr... no, it's right.23:59
endorphinumyeah that sounds sure, but the main problem is that i do not own a pc with *unix on it so i am unable to download the maemo sdk and play around with it. but that solution would be just fine i think.23:59
