We are listening to Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
It's September 5th, 2009, and once again, it's time for TIT Radio.
|
|
Hello, I'm Monster B, and this is episode 8, and at the round table, will the TIT round
|
|
table with me tonight is Asmeth.
|
|
Oh, good evening.
|
|
Cla too.
|
|
Hello everyone.
|
|
Art V61.
|
|
Good evening.
|
|
J-Man 83.
|
|
Hello.
|
|
Peter 64.
|
|
Good eye.
|
|
The Zokes.
|
|
Hey.
|
|
Hello.
|
|
And Pegwall.
|
|
Hey.
|
|
I'm glad you didn't call me Peggy this time.
|
|
I was getting ready too.
|
|
I noticed.
|
|
Let me start off with some feedback.
|
|
This one here is from Tom Monks.
|
|
He's been listening to Linux Crank since the first episode, and he's really been enjoying
|
|
the new TIT radio format.
|
|
He says, I have to say, my favorite crank moment is still the one about the savory biscuits.
|
|
I was doing some work.
|
|
I still don't get that one.
|
|
What?
|
|
I don't either.
|
|
You said he was doing some work on the house.
|
|
And you said he was laughing so hard, he almost fell off the ladder.
|
|
I would like to actually apologize to him for every episode I've been on, and I would
|
|
like to apologize and gas.
|
|
You'll get that apology one day.
|
|
And you guys want to hear about this live CD I'm using?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I'm doing this show right now with the live CD.
|
|
It's called Jibby.
|
|
Is that a new cool Linux live CD?
|
|
No, it's a new cool NetBSD live CD.
|
|
NetBSD?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's firstly built from NetBSD 5.01.
|
|
Can you run this off of the USB stick as well, or is it just a live CD?
|
|
Oh, you probably could.
|
|
What's that program you can use to convert it?
|
|
You have to.
|
|
You have to.
|
|
Yeah, you probably could.
|
|
I tried PC anywhere, no, BSD anywhere, sorry.
|
|
And I tried to make a USB stick out of it, and then I read the documentation when it didn't
|
|
work, and it says, yeah, you can't do that.
|
|
So I was wondering if I was talking about it being BSD and having a different, you know,
|
|
and its sequence or what?
|
|
Can you install that one you're talking about, BSD anywhere, or is it strictly a live CD?
|
|
It is strictly a live CD.
|
|
I tried putting it on a stick, on an SSD card, basically the same, you know, same result.
|
|
I guess I could have tried some kind of DD thing, you know, and just like literally copy
|
|
it over to an SD card or something, but I didn't think that would work.
|
|
I could try it.
|
|
Yeah, this one here seems kind of aimed toward experts who, you know, need like a rescue
|
|
disk, or it's probably good for nubes that just weren't like a working Unix distro just
|
|
to play around with.
|
|
You can install this one either yet, strictly just a live CD.
|
|
What do you have running on a desktop, I presume?
|
|
Yeah, I'm just running a live CD right now, on that same box that I have free BSD on.
|
|
It all has all Intel parts, and I tried it on an AMD 64 system, also, and I mean everything
|
|
works, and it's fast.
|
|
It's got the XFCE desktop.
|
|
And when you first boot the thing, it puts you right at the shell prompt, using corn
|
|
shell, and you have to type in start X to boot up the desktop, or, you know, fire it
|
|
up, fire up X, but it, I mean, it's really snappy.
|
|
The only thing I notice, okay, on the AMD system, everything just works, but on this Intel
|
|
system, I don't know if it's because of the graphics driver, but terminal won't start
|
|
up.
|
|
I have to use X term.
|
|
I don't know why or what's causing it, but...
|
|
Why terminal is the trying to use...
|
|
How did it, did a fault one in XFCE?
|
|
Okay, that is weird.
|
|
Yeah, it is.
|
|
That sounds vaguely familiar, though.
|
|
I don't think it was with XFCE, but I remember some terminal not starting on some BSD system,
|
|
I think it was.
|
|
I could be wrong about this, but it sounds very familiar.
|
|
It might have been in XFCE on Linux, maybe some library didn't get installed or something.
|
|
But it's really snappy, it comes with everything you need, I mean, for a live CD.
|
|
How's the package manager in that?
|
|
Uh, choosing the package source.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
But I haven't installed anything, you know, on the live CD.
|
|
Right, yeah, that would make sense, I guess.
|
|
But I'm...
|
|
About the expand line, it seems the package manager is a little gooey with it, or...
|
|
Well, it's a support system, just like, it's very similar to...
|
|
Just like...
|
|
It's not for BSD.
|
|
Yeah, it's very similar.
|
|
But I'm running it right now for the chat room and, uh, talks to you.
|
|
So...
|
|
Cool.
|
|
And it's been running...
|
|
Let me do an uptime right now, because I fired it up earlier today and it's been running
|
|
for a while.
|
|
Let me just see what the...
|
|
It's been running for 4.5?
|
|
4.5 on it.
|
|
No, it doesn't.
|
|
I mean, let me do a U name.
|
|
Yes, yes.
|
|
How is the hardware support, then, so you haven't noticed anything, uh, not working on
|
|
just basically a boot from the live CD, or you're having any issues.
|
|
No issues at all.
|
|
I mean, but I'm using on a desktop.
|
|
I haven't tried it on a laptop yet.
|
|
I just have weird issues with that, uh, Intel HDA sound driver, whatever it is, I don't
|
|
know.
|
|
I forget, on which systems, but just random ones that I'll try will not have sound support
|
|
until I really go to extreme measures to get this Intel underscore HDA, underscore
|
|
driver, or something like that, or reconfigured.
|
|
On just on the BSDs?
|
|
No, no.
|
|
It was BSD, Solaris.
|
|
I want to say the PowerPC version of either Devian or Fedora, I don't remember.
|
|
No, it wasn't PowerPC.
|
|
That's a different issue.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It was BSD and it's Open Solaris.
|
|
Yeah, this one works just fine.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Cool.
|
|
I'll have to try this out.
|
|
Kind of nice that the BSDs are starting to get into the live, uh, speedy thing.
|
|
Seems like they weren't really doing that for, like, better, or maybe I should never
|
|
hurt them.
|
|
Yeah, and this one, Future plans to have a, uh, installer, which would be nice.
|
|
That'd be pretty cool, yeah.
|
|
Because this is 100% that BSD.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Let me pull up real quick to this link.
|
|
I can find it.
|
|
There's also another one called Wi-Fi BSD or BSD Wi-Fi.
|
|
It's a live CD with all kinds of, uh, Wi-Fi drivers.
|
|
That sounds really cool.
|
|
I mean, that sounds like something one could potentially obviously run on a laptop.
|
|
That'd be kind of neat.
|
|
I wish they would do the whole live USB thing, though, or maybe I should try with that.
|
|
You can get booting again to see if it works.
|
|
Well, I'll throw that link in the show notes if I can find it.
|
|
Are you basically loading the whole thing into RAM and then just running it, you basically
|
|
off your system RAM?
|
|
Yeah, that's what it's doing now.
|
|
Because I have free BSD installed on the hard drive.
|
|
Right.
|
|
And I just threw this on here just to play around with it.
|
|
But, sir, it's pretty quick right now because it's all, it's all just stashed in your,
|
|
like, eight gigs of RAM or whatever you've got.
|
|
Well, in this machine, it's got two gigs.
|
|
And it shows, it's using 400 megabytes right now.
|
|
That's what Firefox open with 10 tabs.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And I have two X terms running.
|
|
It's not doing too bad.
|
|
It seems smooth.
|
|
Cool.
|
|
Um, this fan is too loud, isn't it?
|
|
The box man, I have a running.
|
|
Ah, head wall.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Something kind of tacky.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Well, it has the tagline, the polyster of all cast because it is.
|
|
It'll be turned off and then I'm done smoking.
|
|
It just keeps getting tackier.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
All right.
|
|
I'm done talking.
|
|
What do you got for us, Claudio?
|
|
I have a really cool little application that DeepGeek can actually email me about asking
|
|
if I knew of a command line way to examine, like, video and audio files and things like that.
|
|
And it turns out that there is a pearl script called Exist tool, EXIF tool.
|
|
And it'll be called something different in each distribution.
|
|
If you just go, if you've got software and you're doing it from, like, the FBOPKG, I think
|
|
it's just Exist tool.
|
|
If you're doing it off the door, it's like, Exist tool, dash, image, dash, pearl.
|
|
And it's something different on Debian.
|
|
I forget what.
|
|
So it'll be a little bit different, but the idea is the same.
|
|
The program is the same.
|
|
And you can simply, in a command line, type in Exist tool, EXIFTOL.
|
|
And then the name of whatever video file or audio file you need to analyze.
|
|
And it will read.
|
|
It's only reading the metadata, so if someone, you know, for some reason, got the metadata wrong
|
|
or is spoofing the metadata, then I guess you're going to be getting false information.
|
|
But assuming you're just trying to find out what, you know, what a mysterious video file is or whatever,
|
|
then all you need to do is type in Exist tool, that file name.
|
|
And it gives you everything you could ever want to know about that file.
|
|
It's really nice.
|
|
It's really handy.
|
|
If you don't have, you know, if you're doing stuff and you don't have EXIFT started,
|
|
and you can't get into VLC to analyze the streams and everything, this is a really cool tool for that.
|
|
Does it have a website?
|
|
No, it does.
|
|
It doesn't make any, it's not like they didn't go to the trouble of getting like a site, you know, as such.
|
|
But it is on the interweb somewhere.
|
|
Here it is.
|
|
It's www., you know what?
|
|
Let me just paste this in the IRC, because it's just, I think it must be some guy's like academic email or something, you know.
|
|
It's just kind of somewhere.
|
|
Like I said, I found it pretty much like we had it in FBO, PKG, Fedora Havett, and Debbie and Havett in the repositories.
|
|
I could just find the chat room that I want to paste this into.
|
|
Here it is.
|
|
No, SNO.phy.pleanfu.ca slash tilde fill slash EXIFT tool.
|
|
I was spelling it wrong.
|
|
I wonder I can find it.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I wasn't putting the E at the beginning.
|
|
Ah, sorry.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
EXIF.
|
|
I mean, I honestly don't use it that much, because typically if I'm doing work on video stuff, I've got X started, you know.
|
|
But there are those odd occasions where you need to just find out what format someone sent you, a bunch of files in.
|
|
And rather than having to start X just to play this thing in VLC or in player, you know, read what it's giving you in its output.
|
|
EXIFT tool helps a lot.
|
|
And I mean, it doesn't care what file it is.
|
|
I mean, it'll just read the metadata on pictures, you know, like on photographs, on music files, on video files, whatever.
|
|
And it gives you all kinds of information, the MIME type, the file type, the codec being used, the container that it's put into,
|
|
whether it's joint stereo or mono or stereo, what sample rate, the bit rate, everything you can imagine, really.
|
|
I mean, you know, anything that's the metadata of that file, it's back up to you.
|
|
And this is end curses, or is it got like a...
|
|
No, it just parses it and it's it out into your terminal in two columns.
|
|
You know, on the left it tells you what it's telling you, and then on the right it tells you the value.
|
|
You could obviously pipe it to a text document or something if you needed it for your records or something like that.
|
|
Typically I just piped it to left, look at it really quick, and then I've got whatever I need.
|
|
Which is usually what codec is really being used or maybe what sample rate, you know, something like that.
|
|
So Cloud2, when I wanted to know stuff like that on video, have you ever used that TC Prove?
|
|
I think it comes with M-Fail or MIME code or whatever, this does exactly the same thing I take it,
|
|
but you can use it on what everything, right, you see, features and everything.
|
|
So this is going to tell me what this tells you the resolution, the movie's done in, what audio and video cadets, all that sort of information.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Oh, that's pretty easy.
|
|
But I wonder what your program is reading, because this one only reads metadata, which is one reason I don't really use it that much.
|
|
I prefer just because I don't want there to be a risk of forgetting false information.
|
|
I prefer to use DLC because from what I can tell that's reading it from the actual stream, you know.
|
|
What's the name of the thing that you're talking about?
|
|
The TC Prove, it might be part of the Transcode package.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Yeah, it's where I use a lot on video.
|
|
When I find, you know, a video that looks pretty good, and I want to know how they've done it.
|
|
I just run this TC Prove and dash-eye for the input file and obviously the file name.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
You can tell a lot of useful data.
|
|
I'm not sure if it's part of...
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It looks like...
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's called Transcode.
|
|
I think Transcode, yeah.
|
|
Could you put that command in the chat room?
|
|
What is the TC Prove?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Dash-eye.
|
|
Oh, when it looks dash-eye for the...
|
|
It's one of...
|
|
I've used it for ease.
|
|
And now does this work without X being launched?
|
|
So it doesn't need to see the video's playing, right?
|
|
No, I'm pretty sure you can just...
|
|
Yeah, do it from the command line at X.
|
|
But in saying that, I don't know if it's all about drawing and that way, plus two.
|
|
It's like I say, not something I actually need a whole lot.
|
|
But when I do, you know, it's just such a pain sometimes to have to launch X.
|
|
If you're not...
|
|
You know, if you're just working on something and you don't want to bother with it,
|
|
that's the one reason I use XF tool.
|
|
But I'm going to look into the TC Prove.
|
|
I didn't know about that one.
|
|
Glad you mentioned it.
|
|
Yeah, I don't have a lot to do with Friday.
|
|
It's really fun to play around with this one.
|
|
You just mentioned it.
|
|
Yeah, well, I mean, that's a good point.
|
|
I mean, I use it on photos as well.
|
|
I mean, I know that there's probably a way with image magic or something to figure out the size of a photograph.
|
|
But I don't know what it is.
|
|
And there are so many commands in image magic that I can't be bothered to try to figure.
|
|
You know, out the one that I want.
|
|
So, again, XF tool, just to find out that kind of information on a photo.
|
|
Yeah, that's great.
|
|
Use that a lot.
|
|
All right.
|
|
Pretty cool find.
|
|
Anything else?
|
|
No, not for me.
|
|
Because I'm kind of excited about this next one.
|
|
Hannah Montana.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I've had a death shot.
|
|
She's known there for a bit of time now that doesn't really get used because my wife,
|
|
she spends all the time on the laptop.
|
|
And as a few people know, I haven't heard of daughter.
|
|
Well, she turned out just the other day.
|
|
So I thought, well, what can I put on here that might get her a little bit more enthusiast with lineage?
|
|
Although, in saying that, she's not too bad.
|
|
She has the little OUBC.
|
|
And I've heard about Hannah Montana's lineage.
|
|
And as anyone who has a daughter about her age knows, Hannah Montana is just hit at the moment.
|
|
And I'd also heard it's a Tom and Larry on the...
|
|
What's going on here?
|
|
Going along.
|
|
Yeah, they had talked about it and actually called it evil.
|
|
Because in the song, it does say something about what RM, Dash, R, whatever, you know, racial hard drive.
|
|
But like, when I looked at that, I didn't think that was that big a deal.
|
|
Anyway, I can't see my daughter ever actually looking at the words to this song.
|
|
So anyway, I put Hannah Montana on.
|
|
Now, virtually all that is...
|
|
And this is the only thing I couldn't understand is it really is just John T. Jackalope,
|
|
a Ubuntu with a Hannah Montana thing.
|
|
So I was a little bit disappointed that I went to the trouble to download the whole distribution.
|
|
And I wanted to find out that really, it's just from the boot up, the grab menu right through the splash screen to your desktop,
|
|
you're going to get glorious peak of purple.
|
|
I'm not sure what color it's supposed to be.
|
|
It's only vibrant.
|
|
Sorry.
|
|
What a beautiful feature.
|
|
Fischer.
|
|
Fischer, okay.
|
|
We'll stick with Fischer.
|
|
I'd also read that you were going to get a few way files.
|
|
And I was really disappointed to find out that I just got the normal KDE start script
|
|
and had to go and make up a few way files for, you know, Hannah.
|
|
Like it sings Hannah Montana songs when it boots up now.
|
|
But anyway, the fact of the matter is it did what I was hoping.
|
|
My daughter was very enthusiastic about it all, jumped on it.
|
|
The other thing I was disappointed in that it really doesn't have any...
|
|
It's obviously aimed at young ladies.
|
|
No, more of your own.
|
|
Young boys, I don't know.
|
|
There's a few young boys said it wasn't true.
|
|
But I think if they went the same as troubled, they met this well.
|
|
Maybe they should have, you know, installed a few applications that the young girl might like.
|
|
I mean, this play he said that he developed that, you know, to get young ladies interested in Linux.
|
|
It should have went a little bit more trouble, I think, and installed some applications.
|
|
The first one, of course, I put on there was that J2E that we talked about on Linux.
|
|
Thanks.
|
|
Because my daughter loves that.
|
|
I would imagine any little girl is going to love that application.
|
|
So, if you do have a spare computer or a young lady that you want to get interested in Linux,
|
|
I think you could do a hell of what was the Panamontan Linux.
|
|
So you're going to forget with all your modifications?
|
|
Well, from everything I read about too, that it was supposed to loop the Panamontan songs when they booted up.
|
|
But I couldn't find any way of it all or anything.
|
|
Of course, a really music file suggested that there was a Panamontanath link to the audio.
|
|
It's because you're too old to operate it, Peter.
|
|
Yeah, probably.
|
|
But definitely only had the Ubuntu boot up noise when it played it.
|
|
It's not too bad.
|
|
Of course, I installed OpenMolar on it.
|
|
Because I wanted to be the first wake to install OpenMolar on Panamontan Linux.
|
|
And I think I do some screenshots.
|
|
I want to hear more about their song.
|
|
The song?
|
|
Is it the song they made just for this distro or is it a real song?
|
|
No, the song is just her scene.
|
|
And she does that?
|
|
She does are in that scene.
|
|
Oh, no, sorry, in the song.
|
|
Oh, yeah, that's what you're talking about.
|
|
No, I think the bloke wrote that song.
|
|
Hello, I had the words to you.
|
|
I can see it for you.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah, I can hear it.
|
|
Oh, yeah, boot up.
|
|
Yeah, you get the gooey out front.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Out of stars, every theme, every color.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I don't know what, but you suppose to sing too.
|
|
That's obvious, Peter.
|
|
Your roots can be kind of fun.
|
|
Okay, yeah, as well as your password is never discovered.
|
|
Okay, that's fair enough.
|
|
Now, this is the line I think that Tom or Larry had trouble with.
|
|
But text reports call because nobody knows.
|
|
Here you get to be a Windows loser.
|
|
But big time when you RM-RF Wildcard, you get the best of both OSs.
|
|
Run Windows, take it slow.
|
|
I mean, hi.
|
|
Who cares?
|
|
Oh, I love that song.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
How does that song get?
|
|
I'm trying to think of a song if I knew the tune I could sing.
|
|
It's so much better.
|
|
Oh, yeah.
|
|
I'm glad we got that recorded.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Why should I get my daughter in it to sing?
|
|
Yeah, I'm surprised Peter just didn't put it for the tune of setting on my John Deere.
|
|
To read my hair, John Latter.
|
|
But that's the other thing.
|
|
Yeah, you're obviously not going to give your eight-year-old daughter the root password.
|
|
Like, there's no need for her to know it.
|
|
Even if she sang songs and typed the whole theme.
|
|
But I don't think there's going to be much damage.
|
|
So it's highly recommended, uh, little girls and little boys.
|
|
Take one.
|
|
How hardy are hard.
|
|
Does anybody read, uh, planet.dom.org?
|
|
No, I don't.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
The third story down was posted on what's today.
|
|
Today is the fifth, right?
|
|
So this is, uh, yeah, this was posted today.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Now, is this a developer?
|
|
Who are you talking to?
|
|
Anybody wants to answer?
|
|
From GoTV to Danielle.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Is this for real?
|
|
This is for real.
|
|
Oh.
|
|
Where are you?
|
|
I'm sorry.
|
|
Go to planet.dom.org.
|
|
Go to planet.dom.org.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
It's probably a developer.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
Yeah, I'm sure.
|
|
Because he went to Gwadak, he says.
|
|
She says.
|
|
And he's going to be a woman.
|
|
And he comes back from vacation.
|
|
Correct.
|
|
Got it.
|
|
I think I'm going to get it this time.
|
|
What are you talking about?
|
|
This sounds like one advanced.
|
|
No, it's the official GNOME site.
|
|
Yes, for real.
|
|
It's the official GNOME site.
|
|
This is it.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Mono, now, trainees.
|
|
What's next?
|
|
This is why you should use KDE right here.
|
|
You know, I mean, if you want...
|
|
I'm on panel 10.
|
|
He wants to become a girl.
|
|
It's his prerogative.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
He's doing on planet.
|
|
Not GNOME.
|
|
But, I mean, people's personal posts get onto the planet because they...
|
|
They want it to be on there.
|
|
Come on.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I mean...
|
|
We each of us have them to talk about the 20-year-olds and look in the mirror.
|
|
Huh?
|
|
Come on.
|
|
Oh, friends.
|
|
Oh, friends.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
All right.
|
|
Hey, that's all right.
|
|
I'm glad you're on that.
|
|
I'm glad you're on that.
|
|
I'm glad you're on Australia, Peter.
|
|
And that's where this guy is at.
|
|
Or Daniel, whatever his name is.
|
|
He's a Melbourne.
|
|
Is that it?
|
|
Oh.
|
|
That's what you're looking at, right?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Well, he has one way for me, huh?
|
|
He talks about being in touch before he moves to Melbourne.
|
|
Well, definitely Australia.
|
|
Where the hell are you straight?
|
|
I don't think I want to write this anyway.
|
|
I'm putting this in the show notes.
|
|
Something about a neighbor, Peter, right?
|
|
Well, yeah.
|
|
I see in the scene.
|
|
Four of them.
|
|
Five seats on them, which is a Pokemon.
|
|
If you use mono, you'll be able to write it.
|
|
It's not transvestite.
|
|
It's transsexual.
|
|
It's gendered.
|
|
It's gendered, whatever.
|
|
What does that mean?
|
|
It's confused.
|
|
That means confused.
|
|
Well, this is all very interesting, but I must say I'm wondering what way to talk about this
|
|
on here.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
Yeah, exactly.
|
|
I mean, yeah.
|
|
I'm doing good.
|
|
I forgot to tell you about Google outweigh.
|
|
Yeah, honestly.
|
|
You know what?
|
|
I'm just trying to prove a point that Katie eats better.
|
|
Sorry.
|
|
I'm reading some of the comments.
|
|
Better than it was.
|
|
You're married.
|
|
What's your wife think?
|
|
Maybe she said, I think I need to start seeing other people.
|
|
And you thought, I could become another person.
|
|
I just wanted to make everyone aware.
|
|
Oh.
|
|
I'm uncomfortable.
|
|
One of you is seated.
|
|
Oh, sounds like everyone's all for it.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Let's move on.
|
|
I mean, it doesn't really matter.
|
|
I mean, if she is contributing to Linux and doing cool stuff, then great.
|
|
Now, I don't really know what this person does, you know, so I can't really even comment on it.
|
|
I'm not making fun of her or him.
|
|
I'm just saying, you go, girl.
|
|
That's all I'm saying.
|
|
All right.
|
|
Peter's brought up Google OAS.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
If you guys were on the marketing team, how would you market Google OAS to kill Microsoft?
|
|
I wouldn't.
|
|
I would market something else, like Linux.
|
|
Well, the question I thought about, I think real Linux.
|
|
You're right that, um, wants to be, was, why do they have to?
|
|
Like, Google gets its revenue from advertisements on the web page.
|
|
Correct?
|
|
So really, what does it matter to them what OAS, um, it's running on?
|
|
Because that's the nature of businesses.
|
|
They always want to expand into every possible, um, you know, market or whatever.
|
|
I mean, isn't that just how it goes?
|
|
I mean, you would have said the same thing about, I don't know, Apple.
|
|
You know, why do they care about cell phones?
|
|
Because it's just more money.
|
|
If they get their products, if people are buying their products, then that's more money for them.
|
|
Yeah, and, yeah, well, that's where I was going to lead to about food.
|
|
That they're not going to make their money from there like OAS.
|
|
Right.
|
|
But if they started to release products like netbooks and their phones and desktop computers,
|
|
I take it to this Google Chrome, it's going to be a free operating system.
|
|
But the next logical step to me is to start to sell the hardware.
|
|
And they could sell it pretty cheap, I reckon.
|
|
Like, how much money do they have to make on a netbook that's going to run their operating system
|
|
with all their apps in the cloud that is then going to continue to generate revenue for them?
|
|
Is that where Dell is going?
|
|
Isn't that where Dell is headed with these phones?
|
|
But, well, I'm not sure how Dell can continue to make money after they give away or sell their hardware
|
|
with an operating system if that's what Dell's doing.
|
|
But Google would continue to make money purely through advertising on their OAS that they've given away
|
|
on the hardware that they've sold extremely cheap.
|
|
You know what I'm saying?
|
|
Yeah, well, I think you're right.
|
|
I think that's what they're doing.
|
|
I mean, I don't know if it's technically vendor lock-ins because they're not really locking people into anything.
|
|
But I mean, that kind of that sensibility.
|
|
It's like, everything you run needs to be Google.
|
|
You know, we'll brand some hardware and call it Google.
|
|
We'll get brand DOS and call it Google.
|
|
And then you'll start using all of our little apps.
|
|
You know, just kind of get people entrenched in all of your, in everything you offer.
|
|
What?
|
|
And then you have to get money from everything possible that you can.
|
|
Yeah, and hit the thought.
|
|
I see about that.
|
|
I mean, they want everyone to use all the Google stuff everywhere, sign up for all of that.
|
|
Why not give, or give either a discount or the hardware away for free?
|
|
We'll give you a free computer.
|
|
And you have to sign something saying that you know, you have to use all Google stuff.
|
|
No saying that's a good idea, but it's one, you know, people love free stuff.
|
|
Yeah, you know, I mean, actually people now that you say that, people were talking about the same thing when Apple was doing Apple TV.
|
|
Because it was, I mean, Apple TV is basically just a front-end for their iTunes store, you know.
|
|
So like, why not give it away and say, now go forth and buy all of your media from iTunes store.
|
|
But obviously they didn't do that.
|
|
I guess in Apple terms maybe they did sell it for a lot cheaper than they usually sell hardware for maybe.
|
|
So yeah, I mean, that would be a good idea if we were on Google's marketing team.
|
|
Give it away practically for free or whatever.
|
|
That's what I reckon.
|
|
Make, give it the hardware away at cost.
|
|
But the other thing too, and I don't know if I haven't read it anywhere,
|
|
sure Google, so is, is going to run the Linux kernel.
|
|
But do we know that you can install any software run?
|
|
Can I go and even put open office on this operating system?
|
|
What happens when this thing comes out and it's only got all Google applications?
|
|
But you can't put pay office on it.
|
|
You can't put open office on it.
|
|
You have to only use Google Apps.
|
|
How do we know?
|
|
Has anyone even seen that you can install different applications on this thing yet?
|
|
No, I don't think so.
|
|
We know it's probably going to be possible.
|
|
It might not be through some kind of elaborate hack or something,
|
|
but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it terribly effective to that.
|
|
Yeah, that's right.
|
|
Because they have to protect their impression.
|
|
They want everyone to sit down in front of a Google branded OS
|
|
and get the same kind of experience.
|
|
So if you sit down in front of my Google OS and it's hacked a bit and has chaos
|
|
instead of Google Docs, then that's not going to reflect good on their brand.
|
|
That's typically how companies, software companies, think about things.
|
|
Yeah, and also the fact that Google isn't targeting me or you or anyone on this call.
|
|
Right.
|
|
They go after, and like once we said, how they market it,
|
|
well, they get a market at the new user, aren't they?
|
|
They're going to try...
|
|
Logically, everything suggests to me that they have to sell this on...
|
|
have it on hardware.
|
|
Because me and you aren't going to go and install this on your computers.
|
|
New users aren't going to install it because they don't know how.
|
|
And that's the sort of people they are going to target.
|
|
I reckon they have to put it on hardware themselves.
|
|
And then those people who go and get it, the mums and dads or the ex-windows users
|
|
who really don't know that they're getting another operating system.
|
|
All they want to do is get on the internet.
|
|
You know, that's true.
|
|
They're going to be after.
|
|
No, it's not going to want us.
|
|
It's for life and office really.
|
|
Yeah, not sure you're right about that.
|
|
I'm sure you're right about that.
|
|
They can't sell it without the hardware.
|
|
Because people aren't going to install anything.
|
|
I don't care how easy the installer is.
|
|
It's just not going to happen.
|
|
No.
|
|
And the fact that no one else does.
|
|
Yeah, that's right.
|
|
And geeks aren't going to be interested.
|
|
Geeks are going to put this on.
|
|
Look at it, like me, with Hannah Montana Linux.
|
|
Five with it for 15 minutes.
|
|
And even that time.
|
|
What was it?
|
|
Green OS or GOS OS?
|
|
Yeah, I mean.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Everyone looks at all our geeks.
|
|
Look at these things.
|
|
But we certainly don't use them.
|
|
I think like a Windows Power user might install it.
|
|
You know, they might go to the website.
|
|
You know, the search for something they might say underneath.
|
|
You know, download our free operating system.
|
|
You know, it's virus-free.
|
|
That's true.
|
|
That's true.
|
|
You're probably right.
|
|
You could market it to the Windows Power user.
|
|
And I bet you anything, the installer is going to be an executable
|
|
that you would install just like a Ubuntu thing that will be.
|
|
Or maybe.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
That's one way to market it.
|
|
Just to get it out there on a lot of PC magazines.
|
|
And stuff like that, where.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
You know, that sort of thing.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I thought, yeah, certainly the web app approach.
|
|
So it's well with netbooks and that.
|
|
And originally I think it did when the original PC come out
|
|
with a few giga-ram at that.
|
|
You know, that was a niche there for the web apps.
|
|
But these days, most of those netbooks, they got bloody,
|
|
what, you know, 300D cartridges in them, don't they?
|
|
So, yeah, practically.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
So you're not really saving anything having web applications
|
|
anymore, right?
|
|
Like, space is no longer an issue.
|
|
But I just, I don't think it would be a stretch for anyone
|
|
to tell me that they can actually live off of web apps.
|
|
I mean, that's just, that sounds right to me.
|
|
But obviously they're going to have, I guess, sort of more of a thinking scenario
|
|
or you've got your local copy all the time so that when you don't have Wi-Fi
|
|
or internet access or whatever.
|
|
Yeah, and that would sort of be invisible to the user if that's it or not.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
That's why that would be a lot of that sort of thing.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And it would be interesting.
|
|
And what can't you do in a browser?
|
|
I mean, look at Quake Live.
|
|
I mean, you can actually play, you know, an open GL game inside of your browser.
|
|
I mean, so there's, I don't know, I think they can do pretty well with this.
|
|
But so you're, you're, you're going out the assumptions that Chrome OS is the Chrome browser.
|
|
Is that what you're saying?
|
|
Or, or you just mean in general.
|
|
I think it's a powerful platform.
|
|
I just think that they're going to probably integrate, you know, their browser
|
|
as the operating system.
|
|
So when you fire it up, that's your desktop?
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
I'm just guessing.
|
|
Yeah, I don't, I, I mean, I, the name suggests that, but I just, I can't see that.
|
|
I can't, I could be wrong.
|
|
I always picture the more like that GLS, where you will sort of go to a desktop,
|
|
but the desktop would have your icon of the link to all those net applications.
|
|
But certainly, but you're saying, once in a while, I could, yeah, I could see that too, you know?
|
|
Yeah, I, I, I just picture as what your desktop is.
|
|
One big browser with no, you know, tidal bar up there.
|
|
It's just full screen and it's got tabs.
|
|
And then when you want to use your office program, you just hit on that tab
|
|
and it would open it up.
|
|
If you want to browse the net, you hit on the other tab.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah, I, I, I guess I could see that.
|
|
Yeah, that would.
|
|
Because didn't you see something about creating your own window manager or tyling?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Window manager?
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
Well, at least, yeah.
|
|
So back to that quick life.
|
|
Has anybody tried it?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I had a Mac RAM with it.
|
|
I mean, I had any Python for desktop, but certainly RAM, well.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It runs really good.
|
|
What I remember, what it was like when I played it all those years ago.
|
|
It's placed on the Quite 3 engine.
|
|
It said, what are these?
|
|
It'll place on Quite 3.
|
|
It looked like Quite 3, didn't it?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It is Quite 3, isn't it?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I only played it twice, but, you know, but it ran really nice.
|
|
And there's no lag or anything.
|
|
I mean, you got it right on full screen, didn't you?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It works a lot better than I expected it to actually.
|
|
Usually you have problems getting things like that to work, but obviously they tested it quite a bit before they released it.
|
|
And Linux got it quite a bit later than Windows did.
|
|
But yeah, it does work great.
|
|
So I don't know.
|
|
I mean, can someone just...
|
|
I don't play games as you probably know, and I don't really have ever really done the whole online gaming thing.
|
|
So you go to like QuakeLive.com or something, and you find out for an account or something.
|
|
And then you just...
|
|
You're dropped into the game, and you just start playing.
|
|
I mean, is that kind of like what it is, or...
|
|
Yeah, there's a little delay between signing up and getting decked.
|
|
Play against people.
|
|
They need to download a Firefox extension.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
So it has to be Firefox then.
|
|
I'm not sure exactly what all it works with in Windows.
|
|
It would be like an MSI file to install.
|
|
I'm just looking...
|
|
I'm there now, I guess, on Conqueror.
|
|
And it's definitely not loading properly.
|
|
Yeah, I wouldn't imagine if it was Conqueror would work.
|
|
Was it like a Java interface or something?
|
|
How does it work?
|
|
Well, they download their extension.
|
|
And after that, you get signed in.
|
|
And they have to download some of the game data, which takes...
|
|
Oh, depending on your connection, it'll be like 10 minutes maybe.
|
|
Sure, okay.
|
|
And they make sure that they don't make you wait a long time once they get some initial data in.
|
|
While you're looking over the site, it'll be downloading the extra stuff that it needs.
|
|
Cool.
|
|
And part of it, they'll even put you in the training mission to get the rest of the data downloaded.
|
|
All right.
|
|
The training, basically, you go through and you play against the bot.
|
|
And based on how well you do, they put you in the ranking system.
|
|
Wow.
|
|
And they can figure out which person would be best suited to play against on the multiplayer.
|
|
So you're going to get a bunch of people that pretends to be really crap, just so they can work the floor with something new.
|
|
That could be a problem, yes.
|
|
Although pretty well, if you do that, it would be great to you up.
|
|
Oh, I did.
|
|
I don't know. Some people seem to find it fun.
|
|
Generally, they're the Halo crowd, but...
|
|
Well, the thing is, you know, Quaker is an old game.
|
|
And a lot of people that's been playing all this time, and, you know, they know every single thing about the game.
|
|
Like, exactly where to fire.
|
|
And you're probably not going to beat those people.
|
|
It's going to take you a really long time to get that good.
|
|
You should try it out, Claudio.
|
|
I don't think so.
|
|
They don't just throw you in, necessarily.
|
|
They have a page that you can look at the tips and, you know, figure out certain techniques on how to play.
|
|
How do you play with a keyboard, or can you use, like, a...
|
|
Dine can use a controller, or something, or...
|
|
That's all I'm telling you about.
|
|
Yeah, DineTruck 5 on the left top with a touchpad.
|
|
Oh.
|
|
Messing the keyboard.
|
|
Yeah, it's a fast game.
|
|
I mean, first-person shooters are generally fast.
|
|
You need to...
|
|
You know, you have one hand on the keyboard.
|
|
W-A-S-D.
|
|
Pretty movement.
|
|
And you've got to move the mouse pretty quick.
|
|
Just to bring back all memory soups will have to die.
|
|
I mean, they have one guy fighting.
|
|
Right?
|
|
Come in.
|
|
What do you use now?
|
|
Are we 12 or something?
|
|
Anything?
|
|
Yep.
|
|
Played a lot of LAN games on Quick 3.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
So I'm assuming this is, you know, free and stuff, right?
|
|
I mean, just in terms of, like, cost.
|
|
It's not like World of Warcraft where you have to pay your 15 or 30 or whatever it is, bucks a month to get that.
|
|
Right.
|
|
You're just logging in, and it's all free.
|
|
You've got a big red button in it.
|
|
It's about to play, man, out and free.
|
|
And it keeps track of all your stats.
|
|
Cool.
|
|
Which mine says I was killed 300 times.
|
|
It's fast because as soon as I join a game, I'm like splattered everywhere.
|
|
Really?
|
|
Oh, yeah.
|
|
It's like so fast.
|
|
Well, don't you get some seconds after you appear like to kind of get your bearings?
|
|
No.
|
|
You get a few seconds to watch everybody's shooting everything.
|
|
And then when you respawn, I mean, the bullets are flying.
|
|
I mean, one time I didn't break loose, and I got to jump.
|
|
But as soon as I jumped, I got shot.
|
|
Wow.
|
|
That sounds kind of strange.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
So you're ever, so everyone's playing against each other, basically.
|
|
Was it Death Match?
|
|
So everyone's together?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Everybody for themselves.
|
|
Well, maybe if he tried something a little bit more, I don't know, goal oriented, like, external of just shooting each other.
|
|
If there is such a thing, maybe that would work out.
|
|
So this will give you an example that one black in here has played 5.6 million matches.
|
|
It's quite cool to reach that.
|
|
Well, what's that?
|
|
Completedly.
|
|
4.6 million.
|
|
And so, oh, OK, because Windows had this a long time before Linux did.
|
|
Oh, yes.
|
|
It's 1998.
|
|
Oh, quick live.
|
|
No, well, Quake 3 is from 1998.
|
|
But this is the exact same game.
|
|
Well, Quake live is only what I'm rolled.
|
|
That might be frags.
|
|
5.6 million still alive.
|
|
OK.
|
|
All right.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I'm trying to read.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I refuse to play anything like that with Monster B, because every time I have, he just team kills me over and over and over.
|
|
That's him acting out like a fantasy that he has in his life.
|
|
That was an urban terror.
|
|
I remember that.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
So then I just started shooting him.
|
|
Good time.
|
|
It is fun.
|
|
Before we move on.
|
|
Well, you download probably like 8 megabytes, and then while you're doing the training, it downloads in the background.
|
|
So it's probably what, like, 20, 30 megabytes altogether for this extension.
|
|
It's not too bad.
|
|
No.
|
|
Well, I'm sure.
|
|
I mean, if you're really going to play it, too.
|
|
I mean, that's obviously a great thing, because then you get all kinds of, I mean, I must increase the speed substantially, not having to pull down data, you know, via the network all with the data on your computer.
|
|
It can reuse all that data.
|
|
That seems pretty cool.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
That's probably standard procedure for games these days, but I've never really thought about that before.
|
|
And it says on their websites for Firefox 2, but it runs perfect in Firefox 3.5.
|
|
Cool.
|
|
Yeah, it actually looks like the top slide should play about 1100 games.
|
|
5.6 megabytes, and the better they will stick with that.
|
|
Yeah, it deals like 5.6 million.
|
|
It's really only 1100.
|
|
It was 1100.
|
|
But that tells you that they get into it.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Anything else on Quake Live?
|
|
We'll move on to Art B61.
|
|
Oh, okay.
|
|
I have getting back into the new Linux users, like I usually do.
|
|
I found an article in Linux Journal titled Building Linux Audio Applications 101.
|
|
It's a multi-tore user guides.
|
|
Of course, this is part one, and I'll post the link in the IRC.
|
|
And it seems to be a really good, basic set of instructions.
|
|
The guy gives some background on why you would want to build audio programs.
|
|
Also, some video, it says in here too, but basically what he says is,
|
|
anybody who's looking for newer versions of a piece of software
|
|
that you can basically build your own.
|
|
And again, he talked about why you would do it and why you might not do it.
|
|
By building, you're talking about compiling, not like programming a new application.
|
|
Right, compiling, yeah.
|
|
Where you would get a newer version that might not be in the package manager.
|
|
Like I said, he gives you reasons why you would compile one and why you wouldn't.
|
|
And he gives you right down to the steps on what to do.
|
|
If you want to get it from SVN repository or CVS repository, he writes it out for you.
|
|
When was this article written?
|
|
September 1st.
|
|
Yes, September 1st, this came out.
|
|
I just pitched Linux journal an app thing about compiling software.
|
|
Like two months ago, and they turned me down.
|
|
Oh, they might have this one in the wings.
|
|
Yeah, I hope so.
|
|
I hope they didn't just reassign it to some other author.
|
|
Oh, you might want to do that.
|
|
No, they're actually a really good magazine.
|
|
Well, this seems to be a really good article.
|
|
I'd be interested in reading the next parts of it because the guy sounds like, you know, he's very down to earth.
|
|
And, you know, it really breaks it up pretty well on what you have to do.
|
|
Yeah, feel really nice.
|
|
Yeah, and you know, like, you know, this goes along with what you've been, you know, talking about.
|
|
And you're cast and stuff with the different letters on what, you know, like, with the XJVF, you know, on what each one does.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's just a nice command line for new people.
|
|
I mean, you know, it takes the scare out of it.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
No, it feels really nice.
|
|
It looks like it's talking about, like, make files a little bit.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And it gives you, it gives you, you know, towards the bottom of the article.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It tells you what tools to use, like, auto tools and make and pre-make and...
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It seems like a very good article.
|
|
I said, I'm looking forward to the next part of it.
|
|
It's supposed to be in soon.
|
|
Doesn't say one exactly, but...
|
|
I'm also talking about Akbar, but it's at the very bottom of it, too.
|
|
Cool.
|
|
And that's my quick little tip.
|
|
Package.
|
|
Note whatever you want to call it.
|
|
And you guys get the printed magazine for a learning journal?
|
|
No, I don't.
|
|
I get it off the shelf.
|
|
I don't subscribe.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I've been a subscriber for a while, but I'm thinking about just going with the digital purchase.
|
|
Digital purchase.
|
|
Next time.
|
|
I start getting magazines, and I end up with so many of them.
|
|
If you miss reading it a couple of years, you get a pile of them.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And that's exactly why I don't subscribe, because I'll do the same thing.
|
|
They just seem to...
|
|
They come so quickly.
|
|
Whereas if I just get it when I happen to be at the bookstore, I'll pick it up.
|
|
I know I'm probably paying more for each issue or whatever, but it just...
|
|
It works for me.
|
|
Because then I got the magazine.
|
|
I have to read it.
|
|
You know, and I do read every article, every little part of it, so.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
From private back.
|
|
And a lot of times you'll look at one on the shelf and go, oh, you know, you...
|
|
You're not interested in that article.
|
|
You're not interested in that article.
|
|
So you would only read half of it anyway.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It was like that.
|
|
Like, why pay 1095 for a magazine that you're only going to read a few articles.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And you can always print out, I mean, if you get the digital or, you know, looking online,
|
|
you can always print out the sections that you want to keep.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Or print the PDF and put it on your note.
|
|
You need 800.
|
|
Ooh.
|
|
Yeah, there you go.
|
|
Or your phone with that kind of horsepower.
|
|
Yep.
|
|
Peter, 64.
|
|
I need to follow up with that TC probe thing that you're talking about.
|
|
Not too crazy about it, actually.
|
|
It doesn't quite give as much information as I would like.
|
|
These playing with Hannah Montana leave me alone.
|
|
I should follow them.
|
|
It's probably trying to figure out how to sing this song.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's getting the timing down right and everything.
|
|
Getting the right beat going, you know?
|
|
I mean, TC probe seems pretty nice.
|
|
Apparently, if you install transcode, that includes TC probe.
|
|
But, I don't know.
|
|
It doesn't seem to be quiet as exhaustive as the other one.
|
|
But, it is analyzing the stream.
|
|
So, in that sense, it is kind of better.
|
|
Given you accurate information is what you're saying.
|
|
Definitely.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
This is really, really the information.
|
|
Not just the metadata.
|
|
So, I guess, obviously both are definitely good to have.
|
|
Well, you said you could use that off the command line too, right?
|
|
You know, I don't know.
|
|
I need to switch over to something without X.
|
|
Let me just switch to a different TTY and actually test it out.
|
|
TC probe.
|
|
In TC probes only for videos, right?
|
|
No, no.
|
|
It will do audio as well.
|
|
And, yeah, you can do it without X.
|
|
So, that is kind of cool.
|
|
Yeah, I guess I'll just say both of them are pretty good, actually.
|
|
I take back what I just said.
|
|
Okay, he wasn't listening anyway.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
There are some things.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I guess you just need those.
|
|
I mean, that's the thing about these kinds of tools.
|
|
You can't just say, okay, I've got this one.
|
|
I don't need anything else.
|
|
Because, like, it just failed completely to analyze the .slv file,
|
|
whereas, the egg of this tool, you just look at that and tell you a lot of information about it.
|
|
Like a lot.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's a nice port about Linux.
|
|
You can have them on your machines.
|
|
And, as long as you remember that they're there, you know, you can access them easy enough.
|
|
Yeah, exactly.
|
|
Like you said, you just switch to another terminal.
|
|
They've been a little command, and Bingo, there's your configuration.
|
|
You can back to the other terminal and do what you're doing.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
Does anyone here use X-Term?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Not on an everyday basis, but I use it sometimes.
|
|
When you launchers, have you ever tried this?
|
|
I'll put it in the chat room.
|
|
With the dash, FN, 10 by 20.
|
|
And it actually looks pretty nice.
|
|
Well, it doesn't look very good on my system.
|
|
No, it doesn't look good.
|
|
No.
|
|
Why was it look good?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Are the fonts too small or too big?
|
|
Too big.
|
|
But I just compared it to a normal one, so now I see where you're going with it.
|
|
Well, what size is your screen?
|
|
12, 80 by 800.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
The one I'm turning on now is a 12, 80 by 1024.
|
|
Yeah, that's a good one.
|
|
Well, maybe because I'm 40 and the big fonts look better.
|
|
Better, yeah.
|
|
Like you could see them.
|
|
Yeah, the FN just stands for font name.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
Yeah, if you do X-Term dash dash help, it shows all the commands.
|
|
So let's put a peg wall on the spot.
|
|
You said you didn't have a story.
|
|
Yeah, I mean, you've only had like what, two hours to come up with one now.
|
|
I bet he still doesn't have one.
|
|
Sure don't.
|
|
You said last minute stuff is sucks, so I didn't bother.
|
|
Tell us something about 330 that we don't know.
|
|
Yeah, story.
|
|
Something that, when you finish, she's going to punch you that hard for tolerance.
|
|
To be honest, there's really not much to tell, because he's the same way on the show.
|
|
He, as he is in real life, is just more cussing and yelling very strange things.
|
|
How could you live with a person like that?
|
|
Uh, usually because I'd cuss all the time, like a saver.
|
|
That's where he says a big buck's man in the room.
|
|
So he can turn that on, put his head by it so we don't hear anything.
|
|
It's a castle curse.
|
|
He said cuss.
|
|
Yeah, people say cuss, but it's really cursed, but it's the American curse.
|
|
It's cursed, it's cuss, yeah.
|
|
Are you swear?
|
|
Are you swear at all or not?
|
|
People swear all the time here, Peter.
|
|
Where did you been?
|
|
Yeah, yeah, I realized it's swear, but I was wondering you called it swearing or cussing.
|
|
Cussing is the polite way to say it.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
It depends on if you want to sound like a snob or not.
|
|
No.
|
|
But I don't, it's not even cursing like a sailor.
|
|
A curse like an Australian.
|
|
Well, you know what, let's go around the table and we'll just say our favorite cuss words.
|
|
Clot 2.
|
|
Go ahead.
|
|
I think darn and heck a lot.
|
|
There you go.
|
|
Probably way too much.
|
|
I say fiddle sticks a lot.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
What about Jesus?
|
|
I go, I go cheese and crackers.
|
|
That's what I go holy cheese and crackers.
|
|
What about you, Peter?
|
|
Croixie.
|
|
Croixie, Mike.
|
|
How old are you?
|
|
That's just dirty Peter 64.
|
|
I'm going to have to change the rating on this show.
|
|
We can find out who's got kids right now today.
|
|
I say bloody, not that bloody is a swear word these days anyway.
|
|
I suppose I say bloody word, anything.
|
|
Let's say I often wonder about how many swear words really are swear words anymore.
|
|
I mean, they seem to be so common in the everyday,
|
|
at least in the group of the people that I hang out with.
|
|
It seems pretty much just common language now.
|
|
You know, are they really still considered like,
|
|
I guess they are because movies still get rated based on, you know, the kind of...
|
|
The seven words you can't say on TV.
|
|
Yeah, exactly.
|
|
And they're still there.
|
|
Can you get a story about this?
|
|
This is when I decided that the world isn't a nice place anymore.
|
|
I just delivered mail.
|
|
This is going back in the mid-80s.
|
|
I just delivered mail to this house one day.
|
|
And there was this kid and he must have been about five or six ten in the front.
|
|
And he's waiting at the letter box.
|
|
And he said, postive, you got any rubber bands?
|
|
Because, you know, you get rubber bands and you flick them and all that sort of thing.
|
|
And I said, I haven't got any spare ones.
|
|
You know what I said?
|
|
You didn't get it yet.
|
|
Yes, and so you post it.
|
|
Oh, that is no word of a word.
|
|
This is coming out of the mouth of a six-year-old.
|
|
I felt like getting off my bike and kicking him back through his front door.
|
|
But I thought the world has changed.
|
|
You know, back in my day, if you didn't say please and thank you, you've got to hide.
|
|
Now he can say, yeah, if and see if they don't get what they want.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
What a world.
|
|
Very well.
|
|
Just sort of cheer that with this.
|
|
I still, mate, my oldest one is 23 and every time she swears,
|
|
I go over and whack her in the back of the head or something and say, excuse me, what did you just say?
|
|
And it's like, you see, I won't cuss her in my family or around old people really out of respect.
|
|
But that's the key respect.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
If you're my age, then it's going to fly.
|
|
Well, I just have to slap you.
|
|
But when you hit your collar with adults, Mr. Mrs. Anymore.
|
|
I still do that.
|
|
I would say, I still call my father's friend Mr. and Mrs. from back when I was a kid.
|
|
But I cannot think that I've ever been called Mr. Crossed in bloody by anybody.
|
|
You know?
|
|
Let's look on you now.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Well, let's start looking from the father.
|
|
I'll turn around and look for dad.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
There you go.
|
|
The world has changed.
|
|
And I don't know that it's changed for the better.
|
|
The problem is, Peter, is that there's nobody around for some of these kids to teach him right from wrong.
|
|
Yeah, not done that bad over there, but have they taken the kinds out of school?
|
|
Yeah, they don't.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
The teachers, the teachers, these teachers over here can't even holler at a kid.
|
|
Or they go down, you know, they make a report out.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It hasn't impressed society.
|
|
But getting a kind that would never did many of them.
|
|
I'm not used to getting the bloody thing once a week.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
May I have another?
|
|
It didn't help either, did it?
|
|
No, but it was a stupid thing to show you a tap you were.
|
|
You know?
|
|
I got waxed three times as well.
|
|
Yeah, I did it.
|
|
Be back.
|
|
Shit.
|
|
When I was in school, the teachers, you sit again in the hallway and throw you up against the lockers and tell you they're going to kick the shit out of you.
|
|
You don't straighten up.
|
|
I had a math teacher that would throw a stapler at people.
|
|
Yeah, I just had a math teacher.
|
|
The teacher did the same.
|
|
He used to throw whatever was closest.
|
|
He'd made out how hard it was.
|
|
Hard of the meta.
|
|
He also had a racquetball.
|
|
And he was really good at bouncing off someone's head and catching it from his desk.
|
|
That's crazy.
|
|
We've seen your borrowed bloody tape.
|
|
Well, it wouldn't be hard to bounce off yours.
|
|
That's why people say, what are you doing?
|
|
I thought that was a school photo.
|
|
Yeah, that was me when I was 20 in the ninth grade.
|
|
You were on a 15-year plan?
|
|
I think we've got our topic, Tommy.
|
|
What's the topic?
|
|
We were talking about it.
|
|
We were done.
|
|
Oh, okay.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Well, since we picked on Pegwall so much, what's the name of your podcast?
|
|
So we can call it even.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
All right.
|
|
First off, I'm going to say sorry to everyone that actually might listen.
|
|
Because it's terrible.
|
|
It is something to tell.
|
|
Yeah, it's fine.
|
|
Yes, especially when that 330 gets on.
|
|
He fucks it all up.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And I'd also like to say thanks to Clotty for the one episode he was on.
|
|
Ever publicized that again.
|
|
This is the first time I'm here in this.
|
|
What's up with that, Clotty?
|
|
You know, Peter 64 told me, oh, come on.
|
|
There's a podcast out there.
|
|
You know, jump on the end of the call.
|
|
And I did.
|
|
And I was just shocked.
|
|
I was amazed.
|
|
That was nice.
|
|
Didn't we get it?
|
|
You didn't think I-
|
|
That might have been Peter 64 anymore.
|
|
You never did.
|
|
And you can find it at something kind of teching.org.
|
|
And Monsterview, you're welcome anytime.
|
|
I love having everyone on.
|
|
330 said the same thing.
|
|
Too bad I got to work that night.
|
|
You know, it's probably worth mentioning, Pegwall,
|
|
that you-
|
|
That something got a tech you went on only.
|
|
Oh, you did, right?
|
|
No, you're not.
|
|
I'm still working on editing all the episodes and getting the, you know,
|
|
intros out.
|
|
And we also have a theme song now too, which is kind of awesome.
|
|
And I'd like to-
|
|
I'm going to be from the Linux cranks chat room.
|
|
I think I'm pretty much bored.
|
|
You're not going to sing it, are you?
|
|
No, there's no words to it.
|
|
Can't be any words good, either.
|
|
I'm going to have him make a song.
|
|
I'm going to have him make a song.
|
|
I'm going to have him make a song.
|
|
Come on, Pegwall.
|
|
We had all the words for it.
|
|
Something kind of techy.
|
|
Doodly doodly do.
|
|
Jamie wants the incident.
|
|
What are we talking about?
|
|
Always chat room.
|
|
The incident with hungry room?
|
|
You know what the incident is.
|
|
Someone you got to talk to when they shouldn't do.
|
|
And that's about it.
|
|
I'm not going to say anymore.
|
|
I want ops monster B, please.
|
|
You guys are in probation right now.
|
|
What did I do this time?
|
|
The incident.
|
|
I wasn't involved.
|
|
The whole entire channel got shut down that day.
|
|
You were the same.
|
|
You instigated the incident.
|
|
No, I didn't.
|
|
I can stigate things Peter, I remember I instigated them.
|
|
I remember what happened.
|
|
Can you play more in the better than a one day shut down the chat room?
|
|
Clot 2 gave Andy Meals.
|
|
Pull ops.
|
|
I will never forgive him.
|
|
He was only ignoring him.
|
|
And he started thinking people like crazy.
|
|
He didn't just kick people. He just like took over the channel or something.
|
|
I have not seen that through the chat in ages.
|
|
Well, I haven't either, but I wouldn't because he's on my ignore list.
|
|
I would ban if he signs on as Andy Meowth.
|
|
He's on somebody else.
|
|
He could be married, wouldn't he?
|
|
Yeah, he's married now.
|
|
He probably doesn't even go near a computer anymore.
|
|
He's finally got lucky.
|
|
So that's why Mr. Zulk is all because of Clot 2 and Andy Meowth.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I hate to be in the same sentence with that guy.
|
|
Because of Clot 2 and my anarchist ideals that totally and utterly failed in IRC land.
|
|
But where is Clot 2 still on up?
|
|
Yeah, why?
|
|
You know, I've reformed my way.
|
|
Yeah, right.
|
|
Totally not to trust those cat people.
|
|
Yeah, exactly.
|
|
Speaking of Clot 2 reforming his ways,
|
|
the government fed him three states and a small child and he ate them gladly.
|
|
That's true.
|
|
There's yours.
|
|
Oh, and Mrs. Zulk, I forgot how to make people opt.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
So, I don't feel like looking it up.
|
|
That is so convenient.
|
|
Well, she can look it up for you.
|
|
Yeah, but it's the command she needs to put in here.
|
|
I'm kind of busy right now.
|
|
Why do you guys want apps so bad?
|
|
So when people start being an idiot,
|
|
she can kick them herself.
|
|
Actually, doesn't really matter.
|
|
I just get soaked. He does it for me.
|
|
I refuse to let him have more control than I have.
|
|
If we kick idiots off the channel, it'll be empty.
|
|
Oh, man.
|
|
I'm not referring to idiots.
|
|
I'm referring to stupid prick.
|
|
Have we said goodbye?
|
|
Have we finished?
|
|
We have finished, don't we?
|
|
No, we're still rolling.
|
|
We may be more finished with that.
|
|
Yeah, really.
|
|
We have to vote kick somebody.
|
|
Don't we?
|
|
No, that's not a show, isn't it?
|
|
Yeah, but let's do it tonight.
|
|
We got sent to the ban all night long.
|
|
That's because we're voting tonight.
|
|
No, it's because Vogue had me on mute the whole time.
|
|
That's probably it.
|
|
That might behave tonight.
|
|
I'd like to nominate myself to be kicked.
|
|
No, we can't fight, keep on this show.
|
|
That's cranks.
|
|
Yeah, it is cranks.
|
|
I want to kick them off.
|
|
It's the same way my shoes.
|
|
What if we all kick peg wall?
|
|
Yeah, let's just do that.
|
|
Get it over with.
|
|
Well, ask to just send him to the beat.
|
|
What do you think of that peg wall?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Come on here and pimp that show.
|
|
Come on.
|
|
Selfish.
|
|
No story and then he comes on and pimp the show.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I'm a whole new like that.
|
|
Why doesn't Misha Dan like this anymore?
|
|
He never comes on any show.
|
|
Misha, we still love you.
|
|
Yeah, he hasn't been on my show either.
|
|
Are you guys like me where you're pretty busy during the week?
|
|
And you really need to meet up with people?
|
|
Have you tried go to meeting?
|
|
I'm going to go to meeting.
|
|
I put it on Twitter.
|
|
And you started following me.
|
|
And put in promotion code, Titi.
|
|
And you will get a 10% discount.
|
|
You'll get your 1.2% discount.
|
|
But in promo code, Titi, and you'll get nothing.
|
|
We should probably end this.
|
|
Go on to the after show.
|
|
Safety first.
|
|
So next Saturday is Lennox Cranks.
|
|
And in the following, no.
|
|
When will we do another show?
|
|
I don't have a calendar in front of me.
|
|
You don't have a calendar on your computer?
|
|
I'm doing it right now.
|
|
NetBSC doesn't allow calendars.
|
|
It's a big deal.
|
|
Oh, that's right.
|
|
He's compiling one right now.
|
|
The next tip radio will be September 19th.
|
|
That's when we record it live.
|
|
So it'll probably be posted around Christmas time.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Well, I'll show a half the show.
|
|
We're still waiting on episode 7.
|
|
No, I'm going to post that on Monday,
|
|
because I do have posting powers for at least a week now.
|
|
So that is going to get posted.
|
|
And then this episode, whenever you're ready,
|
|
let me know and I'll post this one.
|
|
Okay, cool.
|
|
So I'll see you guys next week for Lennox Cranks.
|
|
And...
|
|
The following week is a little less, right?
|
|
No.
|
|
Don't complicate matters.
|
|
You know what?
|
|
Let's forget all these dates.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah, because we live in the now, man.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I'll send a plan.
|
|
I'll see you guys in the after show.
|
|
Good night.
|
|
All right.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Happy Father's Day.
|
|
That's right.
|
|
Happy Old Australian Father's Day, Peter.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Happy Father's Day, Peter.
|
|
Um...
|
|
Greg, when did I do it in Europe?
|
|
Uh...
|
|
Same day.
|
|
It's in the US, but I can't remember.
|
|
It's in June.
|
|
It's in June.
|
|
I think it's the first or second Sunday in June.
|
|
I know mothers say it's different in the US and the UK.
|
|
To all the Australian fathers out there, I'd like to say good job reproducing.
|
|
All right.
|
|
See you guys later.
|
|
Later, everyone.
|
|
Night.
|
|
Good night.
|
|
Good night.
|
|
Good night.
|
|
Goodbye.
