[00:09] <Ironholds> with a black christmas hat rammed on my head that read BAH HUMBUG, with my ears poking out like an elf [00:09] <Pilif12p> Hey Ironholds, you're a law person, right? [00:09] <Ironholds> because christmas hats are inherently funny, and giggling adults doubly so [00:10] <Ironholds> it's a self-perpetuating cycle �08[00:10] <derp> Howdy Pilif12p :) [00:10] <Ironholds> Pilif12p: what do you need? :P [00:10] <Pilif12p> hi derp [00:10] <sonia> Ironholds: pics or it didn't happen �15[00:10] * Betacommand (~Betacomma@unaffiliated/betacommand) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88 [Firefox 9.0.1/20111220165912]�) [00:10] <Pilif12p> Ironholds: Would a laptop manufacturer putting something in their BIOS so that only three wifi cards, one of which is manufactured by them work be considered a monopoly/be in violation of antitrust laws? [00:10] <Ironholds> sonia: there is a pic of me, tired from giggling at 2pm, asleep and cuddling a pillow [00:11] <sonia> aww [00:11] <sonia> where is this picture? [00:11] <Ironholds> it was originally my other half [00:11] <Ironholds> she escaped and then shoved a pillow between my arms to prevent me noticing [00:11] <sonia> heh [00:11] <Ironholds> sonia: on facebook, or it will be in 30 seconds �08[00:11] <derp> Pilif12p, wich country would said laws apply to? [00:11] <sonia> 'k [00:11] <Ironholds> Pilif12p: which nation? I can only comment on EU competition law. [00:12] <Pilif12p> Ironholds: Uh, the company is based somewhere in Asia, but distributes worldwide �03[00:12] * Doyak (~AndChat@211.206.40.198) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:12] <harej> Pilif12p: Then what country do YOU live in? [00:12] <Ironholds> Pilif12p: with EU subsidiaries?

[00:15] <harej> Ironholds: That's interesting; I don't think the United States cares if a company has a U.S. subsidiary or not. [00:16] <sonia> Ironholds: suddenly can't find you on fb, huh [00:16] <Ironholds> sonia: I went crazy and may have blocked every wikimedian at one point �08[00:16] <derp> or even a shell company, or umbrella company. �06[00:16] * Ironholds looks guilty [00:16] <sonia> heh [00:16] <Ironholds> harej: then what would you even sue? [00:16] <sonia> that's not a problem :P [00:17] <Pilif12p> Ironholds: it *looks* like the company does [00:17] <harej> Ironholds: You'd sue the foreign corporation? But you're right; practically speaking every company that does business in the U.S. probably has some form of operation in the U.S. �03[00:17] * TheChaoticGood (~ChaoticGo@75-27-241-138.lightspeed.psdnca.sbcglobal.net) has left #wikipedia-en ("Silentium est aureum"�) [00:18] <harej> What I do know is that the government can block the importation of products if they violate U.S. law. [00:19] <Ironholds> harej: no, but how would you sue the foreign corporation? [00:19] <harej> I cannot answer that. [00:19] <Ironholds> I'm a US citizen wanting to sue a Chinese company in a US court. How? [00:19] <Ironholds> mindspillage, you're needed. [00:19] <Ironholds> I know it works the other way around - see ATS - but that sounds impossible to enforce. [00:19] <Ironholds> Pilif12p: aha! [00:19] <Ironholds> then I can provide an answer [00:20] <harej> It's not possible unless someone found a way to serve someone in a foreign country and then have that subpoena have the force of law in that country. �03[00:20] * [Addihockey10] (~chatzilla@wikimedia/Addihockey10) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:20] <harej> I.e. extradition, but for civil suits, which I am not sure is a thing. [00:20] <Ironholds> *nods* [00:20] <Ironholds> see, over here, we have this concept of enforcing reasonable civil writs from other nations [00:20] <mindspillage> You can sue a foreign corporation in a US court if they operate in the US. You may not actually be able to meaningfully enforce though. [00:20] <Ironholds> Pilif12p: you'd be looking at Article 102, abuse of dominant position [00:20] <Ironholds> cartel doesn't really work, that'd be 101. [00:21] <harej> mindspillage: There is a distinction between a foreign corporation registered to operate in the U.S. and a foreign organization with a U.S. subsidiary, yes? [00:21] <Ironholds> Anyway, first, you'd need to show they control a substantial chunk of the market - the test, according to case law, is basically "enough that they can flip the bird at manufacturers and consumers" [00:21] <mindspillage> harej: what kind of distinction are you thinking of? [00:21] <Pilif12p> (the company in question is Lenovo) [00:21] <harej> mindspillage: The one that exists at the state level :P [00:21] <harej> But on a national basis, or something. [00:22] <harej> As it relates to trade among the states and between nations. [00:22] <Pilif12p> simply google "Lenovo bios whitelist" and there are many results. [00:22] <harej> But that raises a good point; technically, there is no such thing as a United States corporation. [00:22] <Ironholds> second largest PC maker...okay, dominant, yes :P [00:22] <harej> Corporate law is one of the few areas where state sovereignty still exists. �06[00:22] * mindspillage reads scrollback further back to see what the original issue was. [00:22] <Ironholds> sonia: now on facespace [00:22] <sonia> I saw, and awwwwed. [00:22] <Ironholds> hehe [00:23] <Ironholds> Pilif12p: second question; are they abusing this position to unfairly restrict consumer choice? [00:23] <mindspillage> Pilif12p: good freaking luck. Theoretically the FTC could intervene, practically, you have better luck building a perpetual motion machine. [00:23] <Ironholds> a good piece of guidance on this is Microsoft v Commission, actually [00:23] <Pilif12p> Ironholds: They can *buy* whatever they want, but there's a good chance that what they buy won't work �03[00:23] * Fae (~Fae@wikipedia/Fae) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:23] <Ironholds> that'd count as a "yes" [00:24] <Ironholds> congratulations! You will not immediately get laughed out of court. �03[00:24] * TheTylersPrice (4b278b2e@gateway/web/freenode/ip.75.39.139.46) has joined #wikipedia-en �15[00:24] * Suiseiseki (~desu@wikipedia/Antonio-Lopez) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds�) [00:24] <Ironholds> you will need to speak to the European Commission, or, since Directive 1/2003, the national competition law body of whichever nation they have a legal presence in. �03[00:24] * Suiseiseki (~desu@wikipedia/Antonio-Lopez) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:25] <Ironholds> Despite 1/2003 the right of private people or entities to enforce is incredibly limited. The right of national authorities, however, is limitless [00:25] <mindspillage> Pilif12p: the issue is that you wouldn't really have standing to sue them for antitrust issues yourself. You could a) try to get a class action suit going or b) try to get the FTC to intervene. I have alreayd cynically commented on the prospects of the latter. [00:25] <harej> mindspillage: the IRS deposited Wikimedia DC's user fee check :x [00:25] <Pilif12p> Even if it's not illegal, it's totally unethical, and if they don't provide a decent answer to my request I won't be buying another product from them. [00:25] <Ironholds> (to the point where the law says "if Ofcom wants to break into an office without a search warrant and steal all the paperwork, that's cool") �15[00:25] * Earwig (~earwig@wikipedia/The-Earwig) Quit (Quit: Earwig�) �03[00:26] * TheTylersPrice is now known as FONsuxx �03[00:26] * IShadowed (~IShadowed@pool-71-173-217-20.hrbgpa.fios.verizon.net) has joined #wikipedia-en �15[00:26] * IShadowed (~IShadowed@pool-71-173-217-20.hrbgpa.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Changing host�) �03[00:26] * IShadowed (~IShadowed@wikimedia/IShadowed) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:26] <Pilif12p> mindspillage: being under 18 sucks >_> I doubt that my parents would file a class action lawsuit over this �06[00:26] * sonia laughs [00:26] <Ironholds> mindspillage: A would presumably be dependant, realistically, on there being something to sue. A class action against a foreign company is all well and nice but doesn't actually result in paydirt. [00:26] <[Addihockey10]> Pilif12p: I have a solution. [00:26] <harej> Ironholds: I'd criticize your governmental structure for being cool with warrantless search and seizure, but then again I *am* from the United States. [00:26] <[Addihockey10]> Pilif12p: STOP BITCHING :-) [00:26] <Pilif12p> I'll simply call their support center, bitch them out, and tell everybody I know never to buy a lenovo computer. �03[00:26] * Resfirestar (~sam@r74-195-210-202.end1cmtc01.enidok.ok.dh.suddenlink.net) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:26] <Ironholds> harej: it is subject to judicial review �15[00:26] * Resfirestar (~sam@r74-195-210-202.end1cmtc01.enidok.ok.dh.suddenlink.net) Quit (Changing host�) �03[00:26] * Resfirestar (~sam@wikipedia/Res2216firestar) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:26] <Ironholds> [Addihockey10]: pot, kettle [00:26] <mindspillage> Ironholds: it does for the lawyers! Individual class members would get a lovely $20 coupon on a future computer purchase. [00:27] <Ironholds> who was it who emailed me going "can you sue a canadian company for me please for sending me a computer that didn't have a bluetooth adapter"? [00:27] <Ironholds> I do believe it was yourself. �15[00:27] * funnyfarm299 (~chatzilla@67.20.132.186.dyn-e120.pool.hargray.net) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88 [Firefox 8.0.1/20111120135848]�) [00:27] <Ironholds> mindspillage: hah [00:27] <harej> mindspillage: In the depressingly many cases where warrantless search and seizure happens against the Fourth Amendment, is that subject to judicial review? [00:27] <[Addihockey10]> Nope. Not at all. [00:27] <Pilif12p> [Addihockey10]: Yeah, when I spend my money on something that's supposed to work on a computer, I expect it to work in my computer [00:27] <[Addihockey10]> Ironholds: American too. [00:27] <mindspillage> harej: what do you mean, 4th amendment? Didn't we delete that one? [00:27] <Pilif12p> Not be blocked because the manufacturer doesn't want me putting what I want in my computer [00:28] <Ironholds> mindspillage: surely they'd get 4 dollars; lawyers fees, and all [00:28] <Ironholds> mindspillage: oh, hello justice Scalia, you've got shorter �03[00:28] * openstrings (~sonia@122-61-91-253.jetstream.xtra.co.nz) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:28] <Ironholds> openstrings: wb [00:28] <mindspillage> harej: again, good freaking luck. The border search exception stuff has already been litigated a few times and the 4th amendment lost. �03[00:28] * openstrings is now known as Guest85558 [00:28] <harej> Actually, as the result of a class action lawsuit against Apple, my dad was able to trade in his 1st generation iPod nano that died a long time ago with the latest generation iPod nano. [00:29] <mindspillage> (where "border" means "basically any transportation hub and anything remotely near a coast") [00:29] <[Addihockey10]> harej: What was the lawsuit for? [00:29] <harej> Manufacturing defects, I think. [00:29] <[Addihockey10]> My iPod shuffle went through the wash many times and still worsk [00:29] <[Addihockey10]> :-P [00:30] <Ironholds> mindspillage: the exception being "if you want to search someone's stuff because they look arab-y, s'cool"? �03[00:30] * pinburious (~AndChat@105.sub-174-253-145.myvzw.com) has joined #wikipedia-en [00:30] <mindspillage> Ironholds: the exception being "if you want to search someone's stuff because you're bored and they might have looked at you funny, that's cool".

[19:32] <ToAruShiroiNeko> what I am saying is that is why some US hardware isnt high tech [19:32] <ToAruShiroiNeko> thats why UK appears more high tech because they arent as spread [19:32] <Peter-C> Is high tech software required?

[19:36] <Peter-C> I like the A10 because I think I would feel safer in it [19:37] <Peter-C> more redundency [19:37] <ToAruShiroiNeko> TParis the thing is US doesnt really provide aid as in handing countries cash [19:37] <gde33> TParis: there is no "afford" there is just western countries printing money [19:37] <ToAruShiroiNeko> US aid is more like building shit in foreign lands to profit from it [19:37] <Peter-C> The one thing I do not like is the manuverability �08[19:37] <Helen_Keller> Prodego, question [19:37] <Peter-C> And it requires a lot of programing before take off �08[19:37] <Helen_Keller> Peter-C, question [19:37] <TParis> ToAruShiroiNeko: Yeah we do.

[21:53] <log> You can do them on one line. �08[21:53] * Hella_Back bets log [21:53] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Hella_Back try applying com,pression [21:53] <JoeGazz84> Pilif12p: I believe 1 [21:53] <mindspillage> Pilif12p: 3/4 of a beat. �08[21:53] * Hella_Back has beats. [21:53] <ToAruShiroiNeko> log btw are you captains log? �06[21:53] * log has Beats. [21:53] <log> Audio. [21:53] <JoeGazz84> Because in 4/4 it's counted as 1-and 2-and 3-and 4-and and an eighth note is the "and" so a dot gives it another "and" [21:53] <log> ToAruShiroiNeko: Pardon? �08[21:53] * Hella_Back does too. �08[21:54] * Hella_Back declares log ☨. [21:54] <Pilif12p> did my last four lines send? �08[21:54] <Hella_Back> ☹ [21:54] <Pilif12p> i take that as a ye [21:54] <Pilif12p> mindspillage, that's what I thought [21:54] <Pilif12p> i'm playing Hey Jude on my arduino :P [21:54] <mindspillage> JoeGazz84: it is not 1. A quarter note is 1 beat. A dot adds half of the value of the note on to the end. [21:54] <Pilif12p> I found some sheet music for it [21:54] <log> Pilif12p: Hey Jude. [21:55] <log> Don't be afraid. [21:55] <log> Okay? �08[21:55] <Hella_Back> do not be afraid, child. �08[21:55] <Hella_Back> [21:55] <Pilif12p> I won't, log, I won't [21:55] <JoeGazz84> mindspillage: Oh, you're correct.

[21:56] <Pilif12p> hestrdgftdf i haven't touched my instrument in a week and I can't think music �06[21:56] * log asks Wolfram|Alpha. [21:56] <log> "Using closest Wolfram|Alpha interpretation: gene an A" �08[21:56] <Hella_Back> A [21:56] <log> Thus, the enharmonic of an A# is AAGCTAGCTAGC, according to Wolfram|Alpha. [21:57] <log> Hope that helps. [21:57] <lucasoutloud> log: Twinkle is failing on me, so take care of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Burr# [21:57] <Pilif12p> log, yeah, T doesn't exist [21:57] <mindspillage> Pilif12p: a sharp raises a note... so to find the one that is the same as it, look for a higher note that is lowered... so A#'s enharmonic is Bb. [21:57] <Pilif12p> Unless you never went from A -> G [21:57] <log> lucasoutloud: That doesn't exist. [21:57] <lucasoutloud> log: Oh, nevermind then. [21:57] <Pilif12p> mindspillage, yeah, that.

[22:01] <unfo> lucasoutloud: which ones? [22:01] <Pilif12p> Ooh, cool. [22:01] <lucasoutloud> unfo: The sonic games on Genesis. But there is already #sega but it seems dead. �03[22:03] * Ktr101 (183cd9f9@wikipedia/Ktr101) has joined #wikipedia-en �15[22:03] * Monchoman45 (6c02c3d1@wikia/Monchoman45) Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds�) [22:03] <Pilif12p> log, I need help with math [22:04] <Pilif12p> wtf does "timeHigh = period / 2 = 1 / (2 * toneFrequency)" mean" [22:04] <Pilif12p> Looking for timeHigh [22:04] <Pilif12p> but how the hell do you interpret it �06[22:05] * log nudges Pilif12p toward the other server in his client. [22:06] <Banaticus> Pilif12p: what is timeHigh supposed to be? and why are there three equals in that? I thought you were assigning a variable in programming, but maybe not? [22:06] <unfo> lucasoutloud: See _Open Sonic_, http://opensnc.sf.net/ . Version 0.1.4 is playable and fun, but you can't save. Instead, you can suspend or hibernate your PC. An unfinished copy of 0.2.0 is available from [[source control]], and you can compile it yourself and play it. Have you ever seen it before? [22:06] <unfo> I don't know if they have an IRC channel. If they do, then maybe off-topic Sonic-on-Genesis discussions can go there. [22:06] <Pilif12p> Banaticus, I am [22:06] <lucasoutloud> unfo: Never heard of it. [22:07] <unfo> lucasoutloud: Let me know what you think of it. What did you want to discuss specifically BTW? [22:07] <Banaticus> well, the 2 = 1 will fail when you try to compile it in the languages I'm familiar with -- what are you using? [22:07] <lucasoutloud> unfo: I just like discussing sonic. That is what my friend Felicia and I do. [22:07] <unfo> lucasoutloud: What do you talk about? [22:08] <lucasoutloud> unfo: We just talk about how much we like it, discuss the new games, the old games, the manga, etc. [22:08] <lucasoutloud> Oh, and the cheesy as hell cartoon that I love so much. [22:08] <unfo> lucasoutloud: talk is overrated. Game development has far more possibilities in it. :) [22:09] <lucasoutloud> So, what makes this game better than the genesis games I can boot up right now? [22:09] <{Soap}> hm [22:09] <{Soap}> I remember a game engine named OpenSonic from about 7 years ago [22:10] <{Soap}> probably entirely unrelated [22:10] <unfo> lucasoutloud: Have you beaten all the Genesis Sonic games already? [22:10] <lucasoutloud> unfo: I haven't beaten them but I've gotten close. [22:10] <{Soap}> Open Surge is written from the ground up in C language using the Allegro game programming library for graphics, sounds, player input and timers. It's being developed since August 2008. Development occurs collaboratively in our community forums. <--- yeah that proves it's different [22:10] <unfo> {Soap}: link to the old OpenSonic please? �15[22:10] * Sp33dyphil (1b209a83@wikipedia/Sp33dyphil) Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds�) [22:10] <{Soap}> its probably gone [22:11] <{Soap}> but it was a fork of a project called OpenZelda which was all about re-creating Link to the Past [22:11] <{Soap}> and that project was renamed to OpenLegends [22:11] <lucasoutloud> {Soap}: Why bother when it was remade on GBA? [22:11] <{Soap}> I mean, as an engine [22:12] <lucasoutloud> Or was that another Zelda...? [22:12] <{Soap}> people would make dozens of games that look like LTTP but have different enemies, levels, etc [22:12] <{Soap}> I made one [22:12] <unfo> lucasoutloud: Open Sonic will provide something new to play through. In 0.1.4, if you go to "Extras" then the "Extra levels" (?) quest, you'll find a very challenging campaign, including a level that, as far as I've seen, contains no rings, only shields. [22:13] <unfo> lucasoutloud: ah, I found a link to pre-compiled copies of 0.2.0, so you can just download, unpack, and play. http://opensnc.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=438 [22:13] <lucasoutloud> unfo: Aww shit sounds cool. [22:13] <unfo> lucasoutloud: have you ever played any Sonic fangames before? [22:14] <lucasoutloud> unfo: I think once or twice, but they were flash games. Session Close: Mon Dec 26 22:15:10 2011
