<viric> It seems the term 'geek' is already used by the people that mainly buy smartphones and install applets
<viric> or apps, whatever they are called
<erikkugel> yes, today geeks are simply early adapters.
<viric> soon my mother watching a tv, will be called 'a hacker'
<larsc> she's a hacker if she changes your facebook status if you didn't logout after using facebook from her pc
<viric> amazing
<viric> Someone told me a site "for geeks"
kuribas has quit [Quit: ERC Version 5.3 (IRC client for Emacs)]
<larsc> twitter.com?
<viric> and it was like a news page for people spending money on new popular devices
<larsc> thinkgeek.com?
<viric> :)
<viric> It was not english
<viric> geeks.cat
<viric> I guess you'll understand all topics through 'key words'
<larsc> yet hipsters.cat is still free
<viric> yes, strange.
<viric> :)

<wpwrak> now we know the catalan word for "consumerism" :)
kilae has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.89 [Firefox 17.0.1/20121128204232]]
<viric> consumisme. :)
<wpwrak> i thought you said it was "geeks" ;)
<wpwrak> btw, there is a bit of a renaissance: once upon a time, you weren't considered a geek if you didn't know how to make the blinking 00:00 on your VCR go away
<wpwrak> nowadays, you are a geek (the retro kind) if you still have a VCR. and the 00:00 is now a cultural statement.

<kyak> don't hold this word for yourself if it's already spoiled, come up with a new one :)
<wpwrak> strings /dev/urandom | sed 5q | tr -cd 'a-z'; echo
<wpwrak> suggests "jhsaqu"
<kyak> mine is "wnfnh" - so much better!
<kyak> why yours returns 6 symbols?
<wpwrak> 5q limits the number of lines, not characters. e.g., you can also get "lnzbzoymny"
<wpwrak> (is that russian ?)
<kristianpaul> how long until a sane word?
<kyak> "lnzbzoymny" looks like "любознательный" in Russian. Means curious
<kyak> wow, this thing really returns soemthing sensible sometimes
<wpwrak> kristianpaul: 90: dike
<wpwrak> kristianpaul: 284: el
<wpwrak> kristianpaul: 151: me
<kristianpaul> je
<wpwrak> 70: beg
<kristianpaul> i just let a watch do its job
<wpwrak> n=1; while true; do w=`strings /dev/urandom | sed 5q | tr -cd 'a-z'`; [ "`echo $w | ispell -l`" ] || break; n=`expr $n + 1`; done; echo $n: $w
<wpwrak> of course, it also finds things like "t", "z", ...
<wpwrak> 20: gigs
<kyak> i was wondering how long will "geeks" comes up
<kyak> strings /dev/urandom | sed 30q | tr -cd 'geeks'; echo
<kyak> seesk
<wpwrak> :)
<wpwrak> 698726 characters until substring "geek"
<wpwrak> next at 741729, 784274, 956813, 1212800, 1541914, ...
<wpwrak> geeks are at 10210868
<wpwrak> kyak at 223358
<wpwrak> viric at 2474681
<larsc> can you reproduce your results?
<wpwrak> let's see ...
<wpwrak> "geeks" is now at 1171409, "larsc" moved from 8766999 to 3476386.
<wpwrak> so the randomization seems to be working. things get randomly moved around, but they're still all there :)
jekhor has joined #qi-hardware
<kyak> oh, my nick is so not random -\
<viric> 00:00 is a cultural statement?
<viric> Does a VCR with 00:00 connected to a video capture usb device count? :)
<viric> in fact its lcd reads "SET CLOCK"
<wpwrak> (the funai variant of that was the first VCR in my family. had more metal than a small tank. about 20 kg.)
<viric> what is funai?
<viric> umh I think I've something similar to that picture, though :)
<wpwrak> Funai is or was a company that made/sold, among other things, this sort of VCR
<wpwrak> (similar) complete with wired remote control ? :)
<viric> no, no wired remote control :)
<wpwrak> too modern then

<whitequark> what, again, was that sort of USB Ethernet which wasn't CDC?
<whitequark> ECM
<whitequark> oooh crap. so we have RNDIS, CDC Eth, ECM, EEM and NCM
<whitequark> someone went committee-happy
<wpwrak> use usb-uart with SLIP :)
<wpwrak> or "term", if you prefer a more traditional approach
<wpwrak> if you hate multitasking, kermit is your solution
<wpwrak> no need for all that modern stuff
erikkugel has left #qi-hardware [#qi-hardware]
<whitequark> wpwrak: CDC ECM is indeed simpler than SLIP
<whitequark> and more efficient
<whitequark> gah, not CDC
<whitequark> can't they give reasonable names to these standards?!
<wpwrak> why ? CDC = Center for Disease Control
jekhor has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<whitequark> meh. it would rather spread the disease :s

<lindi-> whitequark: those different ethernet modes were afaik mostly due to the fact that cheap hardware lacked sufficient number of endpoints
<lindi-> whitequark: so if you wanted to implement both serial and ethernet and mass storage on the same device you had to come up with a custom scheme
<whitequark> lindi-: what's the "proper" one to use, given enough endpoints?
