00:01:38 <phenny> chandler: Matias Half Keyboard & 508 Keyboard
00:01:53 <chandler> if they made the half keyboard in a mirror image, I'd buy two for a fully adjustable split keyboard
00:05:15 <procto> I can enable one hand layout on my kb
00:05:26 <procto> but will have to learn from scratch

05:44:46 * Mike_L curses IEEE and ACM for charging money for knowledge
05:44:51 <Mike_L> and I want that in the chat logs
05:48:03 <xover> Barriers to knowledge inhibit human development; hence artificial barriers to knowledge is immoral.
05:48:17 * xover cues a ArniaRant™… :-)
05:48:51 <xover> Damn, he's not up yet.
05:49:09 <xover> I was sure that was the perfect setup.
05:50:38 <xover> Hmm. And thinking about it I'm not sure that statement as it stands even superficially passes logic muster.
05:51:43 <xover> Lets try another tack.
05:51:54 <xover> What's the value qua value of ACM and IEEE?
05:52:02 <Mike_L> what's a qua value?
05:52:17 <Mike_L> damnit... latin
05:52:29 <Mike_L> this is the 21st century, not the 1st
05:52:33 <xover> heh heh
05:52:35 <Mike_L> :)
05:52:54 <Mike_L> ACM and IEEE have a lot of value as organizations
05:53:09 <xover> Is it the written materials? The articles they produce? The standards docuemnts they produce?
05:53:31 <Mike_L> and I think they could both hire some experienced fundraisers to replace the revenue generated by selling documents
05:53:43 <xover> Or is it the coversation, the dialog, the process, the act of defining a standard for an area?
05:53:49 <Mike_L> it's both
05:54:03 <xover> Or use TED as an example.

05:54:22 <Mike_L> selling documents is just crap leftover from the days when it actually cost money to distribute documents
05:54:56 <Mike_L> I can't imagine any scientist publishes for the royalties
05:55:07 <xover> The value in TED appears to be much more in the conversation; which their release of the talks online illustrates aptly. Nobody would consider the online videos to be a complete replacement for actually attending TED.

16:42:58 <sbp> On 1 February 2005 someone inadvertently activated an EAS message over radio and television stations in Connecticut telling residents to evacuate the state immediately. Officials at the Office of Emergency Management announced that the activation and broadcast of the Emergency Alert System was in error due to possibly the wrong button being pressed. "State police said they received no calls related to the erroneous alert."

18:52:21 * JibberJim would imagine finding 1000 black goats and slaughtering them poses quite a few logistical problems - especially as you could be unlucky and it be cloudy for many nights if you slaughter the goats in the daytime and you wouldn't want the blood to go bad
18:52:35 <sbp> doesn't it freeze?
18:53:03 <JibberJim> well then you'd need to defrost it
18:53:09 <JibberJim> which means lots of microwaves and stuff
18:53:22 <JibberJim> I'm sure chatter hasn't really considered the practicalities of this
18:54:06 <sbp> <chatter> I have three erogenous zones. Two are on my knee. If you give me the key to your heart, I'll let you stroke the third.
18:54:19 <sbp> chatter doesn't really consider the practicalities of anything

19:44:06 <thelsdj> i've been doing 30-60 minutes of wii fit a day for the past 5 days
19:44:09 * sbp saw an Oystercatcher over the weekend
19:44:43 * nsh wonders what this wii fit thing is
19:44:55 <nsh> does it just use the regular controller dealie
19:44:56 <jsled> thelsdj: does it actually get your heart rate up?
19:45:07 <nsh> or is there some treadmill perpheral:?
19:45:09 <jsled> nsh: no, it's a balance board on the ground.
19:45:16 <nsh> oh
19:45:22 <sbp> I think there's a skiing game for the balance board
19:45:23 <nsh> sounds pretty cool
19:45:37 <chandler> does the wiimote go into the balance board? or does the board pair up with the console separately?
19:45:48 <thelsdj> jsled: yea, especially the aerobic stuff
19:45:48 <sbp> separately I think
19:45:54 <sbp> because it's done by pressure pads
19:46:04 <sbp> the wii steering wheel encapsulates the remote though
19:46:05 <jsled> oh, there is an aerobic component? What sort of activities?
19:46:07 <thelsdj> ya uses 4 pressure pads, supposedly more sensitive than most scales
19:46:36 <thelsdj> jsled: boxing, running, hula hoop, step stuff (kinda ddr'ish)

19:46:56 <sbp> Wii Sports has boxing... how can you do it on a pad?
19:47:03 <thelsdj> rhythm boxing, you basically just have different patterns of punches and steps you do
19:47:08 <sbp> aha
19:47:22 <thelsdj> you step one foot off the pad and use the wiimote/nunchuck to detect the punches
19:47:36 <thelsdj> and then step back on board to 'block'
19:47:54 <thelsdj> its not as frantic as wii sports boxing
19:48:05 <thelsdj> basically just keep in rhythm
19:48:11 <sbp> nothing is as frantic as wii sports boxing...
19:48:13 <thelsdj> hah
19:48:26 <thelsdj> some of the balance games are pretty frantic
