"http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client"] [19:08] <Henshaw> You gotta be careful with Warren Kinsella. He's super litigeous. [19:09] <~wiseman> thanks Henshaw [19:09] <Alex> All Anth has to do is say he plays Black Ops on Zombies, and this whole Nazi thing would blow over. [19:09] <HulkVardy> I know. Thanks @Henshaw. [19:10] <rmcormond> Henshaw -- this whole issue is full of litigious folks. First experience with Farber was in the context of lawyer Richard Warman threatening people with lawsuits for not following through his demands for censorship. [19:10] <heywood> lets's kill Hitler! [19:10] <~wiseman> Alex, we can't let Anth throw Trey Arch under the bus! [19:10] <Alex> Lol!

[19:14] <~wiseman> well not that all of a sudden there was lighnting an hour ago [19:14] <Alex> subpixel smoothing text [19:15] <Henshaw> The reality is that it's a riding where he could win. [19:15] <HulkVardy> Not now. Hudak's got it now. [19:16] <Henshaw> Gee -- would the Liberals really destroy somebody's character to win an election? I'm afraid that's how many of these people operate. [19:16] <HulkVardy> @rmocormond Dragging you in via Skype [19:18] <Alex> WHO IS BREATHING?!?! [19:18] <HulkVardy> fixed [19:18] <HulkVardy> ish [19:19] <HulkVardy> thanks to @rmcormond [19:19] <HulkVardy> for joining us [19:21] <rmcormond> Did the breathing just get quiet? [19:21] <HulkVardy> thoughts on new media folks running for office if this is how it's going to go going forward? [19:23] <heywood> ever see a movie called 'Advise & Consent' ? about digging up dirt from the past in the world of politics that's affects a current candidate.. and this was way before social networking.. [19:24] <HulkVardy> Good point Heywood. Haven't seen it. I'll have to check it out. [19:24] <heywood> @hulkVardy.. the book was great too.. check it out [19:24] <HulkVardy> We will wrap this condo up in 5, folks. Don't worry. [19:25] <HulkVardy> Will do Heywood [19:25] <shanebee> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advise_%26_Consent_(film) [19:26] <HulkVardy> Thanks, shanebee [19:28] <HulkVardy> http://imgur.com/AuPQg [19:30] <HulkVardy> Thanks for putting up with our Anth talk, folks. [19:30] <HulkVardy> I know Anth wouldn't have wanted us to evoke of time to it, but....

[19:34] <Henshaw> I love the stunned pauses because it really is a stunning decision. [19:35] <HulkVardy> LOL [19:35] <Henshaw> What's more they've given cableco's a year to come up with a way for consumers to only pay for the channels they want. [19:35] <HulkVardy> Thank,s russell [19:35] <rmcormond> Fllipped to /live/ to give you better sound... [19:35] <HulkVardy> Wow! [19:37] <heywood> what??? how does it take a year to come up with that?? simply pay for the channels you want.. what's the issue? [19:37] <HulkVardy> Re: HST in BC. 18 months to take away. Less time to implement. [19:38] <rmcormond> Digital cable/satelite allows a-la-carte, but analog doesn't. That is one technical issue people will be confused by. [19:38] <heywood> that's why i don't have satellite or cable any more [19:38] <HulkVardy> http://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerkay/2011/09/19/netflix-cant-zig-for-zagging/ [19:38] <rmcormond> Glad Netflix separated DVDs from streaming! [19:39] <rmcormond> Netflix didn't take DVD's out -- just got rid of the bundling... Stopping bundling is what we want CableCo's to do, so why not Netflix as well? [19:39] <rmcormond> Rental of DVD's is regulated by copyright/contracts very differently than online streaming. [19:40] <HulkVardy> Agreed, Russell. [19:40] <HulkVardy> They can kill it as a separate company. [19:41] <HulkVardy> Howdy, toma [19:41] <rmcormond> Studios also trying to kill off DVD's and move to BlueRay, which is not a stable platform (DRM key revocation, etc). [19:42] <bootprint> The DVD service will really hurt if the US postal service cuts out the Saturday service [19:42] <HulkVardy> http://business.financialpost.com/2011/08/30/social-media-startup-helps-couplesreignite-?ames/ [19:43] <rmcormond> Ahh, so the heavy breathing isn't me... :-) [19:43] <Alex> Ryan? [19:43] <HulkVardy> LOL [19:43] <rmcormond> Using technology to record private interactions? [19:44] <heywood> 'Oh My...'.. oops sorry that's Takei [19:44] <rmcormond> Do you really want to be telling marketers what you are doing in your most intimate relationships? [19:44] <HulkVardy> The Trojan Man comes to do your door. [19:44] <HulkVardy> whoops, Freudian slip. [19:44] <Alex> Oh god HulkVardy [19:45] <heywood> @HulkVardy that would save the embarrassing trip to the Shoppers Drug Mart.. [19:45] <HulkVardy> lol [19:46] <rmcormond> Just be glad this isn't London with all the extra cameras on the way to the Shoppers.... [19:47] <rmcormond> ...ummm... not screwed... [19:47] <Alex> LOL [19:49] <rmcormond> Agreed. Using iPhones nasty :-) [19:50] <HulkVardy> Connecting online constantly = disconnecting offline constantly [19:51] <HulkVardy> http://thenextweb.com/media/2011/09/16/sony-to-ban-playstation-gamers-ifthey-dont-agree-to-new-terms/ [19:51] <~wiseman> be right beer ...

[19:53] <heywood> considering they provide the service for free i really don't a have a problem with this.. unlike the 360 [19:54] <~wiseman> doesnt have to be good if it's free but it should be safe [19:54] <heywood> cavet emptor..

IT is an attempt to eradicate consumer protection and other laws through contract.

[19:59] <rmcormond> I prefer Netflix and DVD's to a "channel". [19:59] <Alex> Farty Towels is the best evar. [19:59] <~wiseman> who is up to speed on the Khan thoughts? [19:59] <heywood> @rmcormond.. agree.. same here.. [20:00] <HulkVardy> agreed, rmcormond [20:00] <~wiseman> I like it [20:00] <rmcormond> Started Fawty Towers on Netflix, and didn't get into it... [20:00] <HulkVardy> http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2011/09/linux-game-devs-upload-their-owngame.html [20:00] <rmcormond> And I just recompiled my kernel over that! [20:01] <heywood> @rmcormond... you're hard core.. :) [20:02] <rmcormond> @heywood -- I'm paid as a sysadmin/software developer for Linux servers, so kinda just my life :-) [20:02] <HulkVardy> lol [20:03] <heywood> just added rmcormond to my mobile Stallman shrine... [20:03] <rmcormond> "Not for sale" is a much larger problem than Copyright infringement for most creators! [20:03] <rmcormond> @heywood --- Was called a Stallmanist by many people, until they saw the two of us together not quite agreeing (I say FLOSS and Linux, and he hates both). [20:03] <shanebee> So true [20:04] <rmcormond> Bravo to Anthony! [20:05] <heywood> @rmcormond.. heretic....
