06:02:17 <deltab> the View Header Info command in Links 2
06:02:27 <bjoern_> The behavior is still wrong though, HEAD is supposed to return exactly what GET would.
06:02:44 <bjoern_> Right. Above I used Netcat.
06:03:01 <deltab> same ETag
06:04:00 <deltab> only differences are dates and that I see Transfer-Encoding in place of Content-Length

07:12:02 <bjoern_> xover, well, that policy is not reflected in the charset cfg...
07:13:19 <bjoern_> it is not a sensible policy either, but you know that already...
07:17:03 <xover> Well, “sensible” can be discussed. And it's not reflected in charset.cfg for all the obvious reasons.
07:18:48 <bjoern_> Yeah, like, it's not a sensible policy...
07:19:13 <xover> Feel free to suggest an alternative.
07:19:22 <bjoern_> I did!
07:20:50 <xover> Ah, you want a whitelist policy that operates based on what the system library happens to support.
07:21:17 <xover> The WTF WG is .... ->that.... way.
07:22:48 * xover goes to get his morning espresso...
07:23:57 <bjoern_> I want however works on the code to spend time in important things, rather than this issue; and having that as a policy frees up a lot of time for more important things.
07:24:48 <bjoern_> And I don't see how "OMG BAD CHARSET, I WILL NOT VALIDATE YOUR CODE !!!!!!!" is better than "Here are the validation results. By the way, your charset sucks, please fix it like so: ..."
07:28:25 <xover> The amount of work is pretty much the same either way.
07:28:50 <xover> And I agree it shouldn't be a fatal error if we otherwise support the charset.
07:31:28 <bjoern_> Well, then there is no disagreement.
07:31:34 <xover> :-)
07:32:00 <bjoern_> See, one espresso and you are all WTF'd up.

08:41:22 <bjoern_> it's just 1 ... 2 documents out of 44000 so far though.
08:41:42 <Tene> bjoern_: perhaps those documents were double-encoded!

09:28:42 * JibberJim has many of them!
09:28:46 <JibberJim> they're very useful!
09:29:14 <xover> In what way are they different from a “sweater”?
09:29:17 <JibberJim> especially where there are mozzies or very hot sun.
09:29:27 <JibberJim> material weight
09:29:28 <bjoern_> http://www.bjoernsworld.de/temp/top100elements-01.svgz
09:29:55 <xover> Ok, so a thin sweater then?
09:29:59 <JibberJim> they're t-shirt weight cotton, rather than something heavy enough to keep you warm
09:30:08 <JibberJim> they're not designed for warmth, where a sweater is
09:30:19 <JibberJim> (in en-GB usage of the word)
09:30:34 <xover> So... a really thin sweater then?
09:30:46 <JibberJim> yes, a long sleeved T-shirt :D
09:30:50 <xover> heh heh
09:31:20 <sbp> bjoern_: this is from your 100,000 page corpus?
09:31:28 <sbp> surely Hixie's Google survey stole the march on you there?
09:31:46 <xover> .wik T-shirt
09:31:49 <phenny> "A T-shirt (or tee shirt) is a shirt, usually buttonless, collarless, and pocketless, with a round neck and short sleeves, that is pulled on over the head and covers most of a person's torso." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shirt
09:31:58 <bjoern_> It is. And that survey does not provide this kind of information.
09:32:42 <bjoern_> Besides, as user of google products, I have no faith in numbers coming from there.
09:32:55 <xover> The next time someone refers to such a survey without providing a way to reproduce the results I'm going to scream!
09:32:57 * sbp looks at http://code.google.com/webstats/2005-12/elements.html

09:33:04 <sbp> oh yeah, only the top ten
09:33:11 <bjoern_> you know, their estimated result count for my name varies between 3.0 and 6.000.000 ...
09:33:14 <JibberJim> See even wikipedia acknowledge it's a load of rubbish :D
09:33:26 <sbp> it says that <head> is the most used
09:33:31 <sbp> you say it's barely used at all!
09:33:38 <dumnut> umm, i'm i completely delusional guys?
09:33:42 <bjoern_> you misread his numbers

09:34:54 <bjoern_> that kind of confusion gets pretty bad e.g. for http://code.google.com/webstats/2005-12/element-img.html
09:35:13 <bjoern_> which most people would read like 75% of <img> elements have an alt="" attribute
09:35:38 <bjoern_> while it really says, from what I can tell, 75% of pages with <img> have one or more <img alt="..."> elements.
09:36:14 <bjoern_> iow, it makes no difference if you have 1 element with and 200 without alt on one page, or 200 of 200 with alt on one page.

15:29:53 <bjoern_> I think it's looong overdue.
15:30:16 <JibberJim> well the problem is
15:30:22 <JibberJim> we need to build a massive, massive wall
15:30:32 <JibberJim> because so many people are going to be first up against it
15:30:51 <bjoern_> They are doing it right now, in Iraq, in the middle east, ...
15:30:53 <JibberJim> we either need to rationalise the "first up against the wall" list into something with a better ordering so we can use a small now
15:30:57 <JibberJim> a small wall now
15:31:06 <JibberJim> or really work on constructing the massive wall
15:31:35 <bjoern_> We could outsource the job to china. They've a good wall.
15:35:21 <JibberJim> but probably have a long list of own to be against come the revolution
15:35:39 <JibberJim> in fact some historians actually believe that was the real reason for building the wall originall
15:38:50 <bjoern_> That would also explain why they invented paper.

15:44:51 <bjoern_> well as much as necessary to ensure everyone on the list has a spot for them.

15:47:35 <bjoern_> you could also take everyone on the list and put them where the wall should be. Then build the wall accordingly.

15:48:44 <JibberJim> that's a very good idea
15:48:45 <JibberJim> I like it
15:50:05 <jewel_> self-bootstrapping execution wall
15:51:40 <JibberJim> I still think it would be easier to move some of the "first up against the wall when the revolution comes" down to 2nd, 3rd, 57th etc. against the wall when the revolution comes
15:51:48 <JibberJim> as we could get away with a much smaller wall
15:52:45 <bjoern_> Would the revolution be televised? I think the huge wall would make the better pictures.
15:53:40 <JibberJim> true, but you'd get more advertising slots in if you spread it over a few days
15:54:31 <JibberJim> true when the 6753rd against the wall when the revolution came probably wouldn't get great ratings, but maybe you could start having gimmicks by then, perhaps competitions and SMS voting etc.
15:55:20 <bjoern_> You could privatize the huge wall for shitloads of money if it's no longer needed. Also, sell parts of it as souveniers.
15:56:33 <_hex_> JibberJim: I had a random wrong number call from an international number today, and I could have *sworn* he was asking for Jim Ley.
15:56:37 <JibberJim> I like it!
15:57:08 <JibberJim> You would also remove the wall from being used by the next revolution! entrenching your power.
15:57:19 <JibberJim> so you're right we do need a giant wall
15:57:41 <bjoern_> I love it when a plan comes together.
15:57:44 * JibberJim suspects he wasn't _hex_
15:58:03 <_hex_> the wall needs to be tall enough that when we pour the africanized bees over it, they can't fly back over.

16:44:53 <bjoern_> I haven't checked yet, but I would be rather surprised if not.
16:46:44 <bjoern_> The main problem is to figure out where it crashed, I just have a rough area for candidates; the script wasn't designed for catching crashes...
16:47:04 <bjoern_> #15000 documents now, still only one crash
16:49:34 <bjoern_> I had to patch Tidy a bit to make it make less changes... I actually prepared that long ago, but apparently there is still no config option for it...
16:50:03 <bjoern_> there appear to be very many documents Tidy cannot clean up, i.e., documents with fucked up </form> tags and such Tidy doesn't know how to handle.

19:52:05 <crschmidt> glen_quagmire: If you can prove that prior art for the specific claims in the patent existed, then their patent is not valid, and you would have to prove that in the court case.

21:24:48 <bancus> (In Firefox)
21:24:49 <kwijibo> could be the change in display model is obscuring the underline
21:24:53 <bancus> In Safari it works fine.
21:25:08 <bancus> I'm not actually changing the display model of ins.
21:25:14 <bancus> The JS code is only changing the text-decoration.
21:25:39 <bancus> I started messing with the display model when I found that it didn't work unless it was a block rather than inline.

22:19:22 <jsled> bpt: looking in ~/.emacs, I think I started to write a custom message-send-mail-function, but I just didn't grok it. :/
22:24:54 <bpt> somebody's tried to do it before: http://groups.google.com/group/gnus.ding/browse_thread/thread/ee41826354047dc9/eb2105607928a9c6

23:22:16 <d8uv> Does anyone here have a joost invite I can have
23:28:40 <bancus> I might.
23:28:51 <JibberJim> sure
23:29:01 <JibberJim> just need an email address...
23:29:05 <bancus> Go for it.
23:29:15 <bancus> I'd have to wait until five anyway to send any out.
23:29:17 <bancus> (Still at work here.)
23:29:25 <bancus> I didn't realize you needed invites.

23:51:28 <BigJibby> (A&&B)||(C&&D) -> reduces to single parenthetical?
23:55:22 <bancus> It might depend on the language, and what you mean by "single parenthetical".
23:56:02 <bancus> I would imagine it would first test A&&B, if true, then the entire expression is true. If false, then the truth of the expression rests on the truth of C&&D.
