08:52:41 <sbp> xena is tav's bot

08:53:35 <phenny> _bjoern: "body song. dear song." (de)
08:53:44 <sbp> nslater: the chronology is that tav made his bot, then AaronSw made a slightly better bot called datum, but datum has several annoyances and once AaronSw wasn't around any longer to fix it I decided that we needed a nice up-to-date bot which actually does what we need; so I made phenny
08:53:51 <_bjoern> More like love song phenny but okay...
08:53:53 <laplink> It's a bit more worrying when Monty does it.

08:55:56 <tav> * .chain
08:56:04 <tav> * .alias
08:56:05 <sbp> there seems to be more of it than there has been
08:56:06 <tav> pls make! =)
08:56:10 <sbp> I did have .eval in phenny
08:56:22 <sbp> but I didn't bother to port it because I couldn't figure out how to make it secure but useful
08:56:27 <sbp> alias?

08:59:28 * sbp wonders what percentage of his python scripts don't import
09:00:03 <nslater> 16:16:03 <neo85> cause it said delete win98 and subdirectories
09:00:03 <nslater> 16:16:10 <Ash> Yup, that's right
09:00:04 <nslater> 16:16:19 <Ash> the win98 folder holds only tree files
09:00:06 <nslater> ... woah dudes
09:00:14 <tav> well, you don't even need pimp really as most use of .py was for basic python
09:00:26 <nslater> can't believe you got him to do that
09:00:37 <sbp> yup. a Swhack classic
09:00:42 <tav> lol, yeah
09:00:45 <sbp> we had another guy who would run arbitrary code in his shell
09:01:19 <sbp> skript kiddies are very odd sometimes. heh
09:01:37 <nslater> but mostely harmless, not sure I would have taken it that far :)
09:01:37 <laplink> Hmm. Didn't Neo85 just suddenly disconnect after running one of the commands we fed him?
09:01:44 <sbp> laplink: yep
09:01:57 <laplink> I should go read those logs again.
09:02:28 <laplink> In fact, they should probably go in the FAQ.
09:02:32 <sbp> heh, yeah
09:02:37 <sbp> you know where to edit it
09:02:38 <cre8radix|off> heya

14:04:59 * nsh isn't sure
14:05:09 <sbp> patent things so that companies can't hoard 'em?
14:05:55 <Arnia> nsh: to raise the money I need, I require corporate sponsorship. That comes with icky strings like patent rights. I'm planning on circumventing the strings by setting up an incubator company I control which will be funded by venture capital
14:06:18 <sbp> E_INTRICATE
14:06:39 <sbp> woah
14:06:46 <sbp> I wonder if you could patent that process
14:06:48 <sbp> that'd be quite funny
14:06:48 <Arnia> nsh: that company will hold the patents I take out on core ideas, but will automatically issue a perpetual free grant to all OSI licensed projects
14:07:13 <Arnia> nsh: I'll repay the investors through licensing to commercial, closed-source companies
14:07:23 <sbp> okay, next step
14:07:27 *** cre8radix is now known as cre8radix|tourin
14:07:31 <sbp> why does chatting about ideas here render them unpatentable?
14:07:32 <xover> You can. It's a Business Method patent.
14:07:36 <nsh> well, when you're done with hell, you can come pave my drive too
14:07:42 * nsh buggers off
14:07:49 <Arnia> You can't, it has been published publicly (see logs)
14:08:21 <xover> Arnia: Sure you're not thinking about trade secrets?
14:08:21 <Arnia> nsh: the alternative is not having the money I need to fund the project and thus the ideas not coming into existence at all
14:08:22 <sbp> I didn't know you can't patent published things
14:08:31 <Arnia> xover: UK patent law... just looked it up
14:08:49 <xover> That's… very weird.
14:08:57 <Arnia> There was a nice brief summary on the University of Bristol's website

14:09:32 <Arnia> http://www.bristol.ac.uk/research/knowtransfer/ip/patents/
14:10:31 <Arnia> Anyway, the costs for this project in terms of human resources are already in excess of £200k
14:11:06 <Arnia> That's for a team of four (two RAs and two postgrads)
14:11:21 <xover> I suspect that were you to consult with a qualified lawyer, you'd find that page is actually talking about prior art.

14:22:34 <Arnia> From the UK Patent Office: "You must not have made your invention public in any way, anywhere in the world, before you apply for a patent for it. Conversations with patent agents, solicitors or our staff are confidential, so will not make your invention public."
14:22:43 <Arnia> http://www.ipo.gov.uk/patent/p-applying/p-should/p-should-requirements.htm
14:23:19 <zjb> go patent in another country, then :P
14:24:16 <Arnia> zjb: I will, but EPSRC will be most interested in UK patents
14:24:29 <xover> That sounds very very strange; given the whole point of the patent system is to encourage inventors to publish.
14:24:33 <Arnia> (which matters to me, since I'm still going for EPSRC funding as well)
14:25:13 <Arnia> xover: yes, but I think that line is pretty clear cut given it is the responsible agency saying it
14:25:35 <Arnia> xover: so, no matter how weird it seems that is what they rule
14:25:43 <xover> Sure.
14:26:34 <xover> Were one feeling generous, one might suggest they're so sensible that if the invention is allready published there is no need for a patent to encourage it; but one rarely feels that generous where the patent office is concerned, is one?
14:26:43 <Arnia> Indeed
14:27:49 <Arnia> However, I think I can turn all this shit to an advantage by the scheme I've just outlined

14:30:41 <Arnia> Oh, and I'm going to tell the venture capitalist about my BPhil plans. Now that even Tesco and Dreams are running their training programmes as degrees, I feel a private research institute under the auspices of the (arguably?) third oldest university in England should be more than capable of running a novel programme.
14:33:19 * Arnia is sorely tempted to call the research institute the Swhack Institute :p

17:05:18 <nslater> pfft, i can miss out whichever chars i choo
17:05:19 <phenny> "Stephen Cole Kleene (January 5, 1909, Hartford, Connecticut, USA – January 25, 1994, Madison, Wisconsin) was an American mathematician who helped lay the foundations for theoretical computer science." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Kleene

17:06:28 <nslater> it's the wrong name....
17:06:32 <sbp> oh, gaiji
17:06:38 <nslater> kleene star that is, but i dont know the correct name
17:06:38 <sbp> gotcha!
17:06:47 <nslater> glob is also wrong
17:06:51 <nslater> yeah, thats it
17:06:57 <nslater> was thinking gaijin
17:07:15 <sbp> so, I'm still writing Whits
17:07:21 <sbp> but I've gone underground with it
17:07:29 <sbp> since I figured I could massage it into a book or something
17:07:29 <nslater> oh?
17:07:38 <sbp> I've done 10,000 words this month so far
17:07:41 <nslater> hmm...
17:07:55 <nslater> publishing a book and publishing to the WWW are not mutually exclusive
17:08:03 <nslater> pls be explainin some more
17:08:13 <sbp> well I figured two things
17:08:33 <sbp> a) publishers look more kindly on exclusive content, and the sort of thing that I'm writing is going to be hard enough to market as it is
17:08:52 <sbp> b) writing a book has many advantages: I can re-order, rewrite, and so on
17:09:07 <sbp> I've in a sense been more bustling this month than any other, too
17:09:12 <nslater> so by exclusive you mean with a restrictive copyright licence :(
17:09:18 <sbp> lots of the ideas I started off on Whits have come together in the essays I wrote
17:09:33 <sbp> nope. I was thinking that I'd give them an N year exclusive copyright term
17:09:40 <nslater> and then...?
17:09:44 <sbp> and then it would revert to a creative commons license
17:09:52 <nslater> wow, that's pretty creative
17:10:05 <sbp> not sure how publishers would feel about that, but...
17:10:10 <nslater> you have the nslater seal of approval, because of course, you were waiting for that
17:10:11 <sbp> seems a nice compromise
17:10:15 <sbp> hehe
17:10:18 <sbp> actually that does mean a lot
17:10:25 <nslater> hehe
17:10:26 <sbp> I mean, it's kinda getting back to the original intent of copyright
17:10:38 <nslater> yes, that makes perfect sense
17:10:51 <nslater> and, to get things straight, I have no problems with copyright per se :)
17:10:52 <sbp> which is to renumerate the author, striking the fine balance between making more people produce things (i.e. by getting paid for it) and providing those materials for the common good
17:11:03 <sbp> aye. it's just got all out of proportion lately
17:11:15 <sbp> I had a look at the copyright terms for all the countries in the world the other day
17:11:17 <sbp> it's on Wikipedia
17:11:23 <nslater> sbp: I hope that was for the benifit of the logs, because I would be insulted if you thought it needed explaining to me ;)
17:11:26 <sbp> about 98% of countries do author's life + N years
17:11:33 <sbp> where N is usually between 50 and 100 or so
17:11:40 <sbp> yes
17:11:46 * nslater chuckles
17:11:51 *** Talliesin has quit ("Leaving.")
17:12:00 <sbp> also summarising what I didn't previously know
17:12:01 <nslater> Talliesin obviously is outraged by this
17:12:10 <sbp> I figured that *some* countries might get it right
17:12:13 <sbp> but... oddly not
17:12:34 <z^> Did you see how some judge found part of US's copyright unconstitutional?
17:12:47 <sbp> there are some countries without any concept of copyright, though. I think Mauritius was one of them?
17:12:49 <sbp> nope?
17:12:57 <z^> It was on slashdot... hold on
17:13:05 <nslater> you know, you really should read Free Software Free Society by Richards Tallman, it pretty much covers exactly what you're talking about - it's title is a misnomer
17:13:09 <sbp> anyway, I feel bad about being silent on Whits
17:13:18 <z^> .title http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/274366894/article.pl
17:13:19 <sbp> but hopefully I'll find some compromise there too
17:13:21 <phenny> z^: Slashdot | Court Finds Part of Copyright Act Unconstitutional
17:13:24 <nslater> it's also free and available on the web, though purchasing a copy from the FSF helps support free software :D
17:13:30 <sbp> FSFS: and The Cathedral and the Bazaar?
17:13:34 <nslater> ugh
17:13:37 <sbp> hehe
17:13:40 <nslater> forget that that last one pls
17:13:46 <nslater> .g Free Software Free Society

17:13:49 <sbp> what's wrong with it?
17:13:52 <jsled> What a nice name.
17:14:01 <sbp> it's just like the database
17:14:02 <nslater> nothing, just my reflex reaction to ESR ;)
17:14:08 <sbp> oh, you mean Tallman
17:14:21 <nslater> hmm?
17:14:26 <z^> I'm surprised you got the caps off, though
17:14:32 <nslater> ... I call RMS Richards Tallman, because it sounds better
17:14:41 <sbp> getcha caps off! getcha caps offa me o/
17:14:42 <z^> Ahh, it does

17:14:52 <thelsdj> can anyone think of simple way in shell script to get list of all files before a specific file, or all files after a specific file? (also maybe inclusive/exclusive on the specified file) what i mean by before/after is just default ls ordering, or if you modify what ls orders by

17:16:13 <sbp> thelsdj: why not just pipe it into sed and delete everything before/after that file?
17:17:31 <nslater> find . | while read file; do if test "/some/file/" == "$file"; then break; else echo $file; fi; done
17:18:28 <sbp> won't you need a -maxdepth 1 there too?
17:18:40 <nslater> well, the find invocation was meant as an example command
17:18:46 <nslater> replace with whatever generates the file list
17:18:58 <nslater> sbp: anyway... this all sounds very interesting, let me know how your thoughts develop (esp. licencing/publishing) etc
17:19:13 <sbp> also, you can just do test blah || break
17:19:13 <sbp> okey dokey
17:19:26 <nslater> yup, that might look nicer
17:19:26 <sbp> well also, if I don't bother doing a book out of it, I can just dump it online
17:21:47 <nslater> are you planning to pull together all your old stuff too, or just new stuff?
17:22:02 <sbp> just new stuff, though some of it necessarily summarises the old stuff in new ways
17:22:17 <sbp> mainly I'm trying to integrate all those little thoughts, and the new ones, into a cohesive statement
17:22:25 <sbp> it's going surprisingly well
