20:15.21 MarcTannous The Pirate Bay can't be blocked as long as it does not exist :P
20:17.21 Stragus ISPs from the UK have blocked The Pirate Bay for a while. But yes, now it exists as a bunch of mirrors
20:17.34 MarcTannous Most of these are filled with malware AFAIK
20:17.56 MarcTannous There is only one legit torrent site that is not trying to replace thepiratebay by spreading infected files
20:18.51 Stragus I had to download The Intervew from a Pirate Bay mirror. After actually *paying* for the movie on Google Video, but there were issues with HAL protected content or some other kind of garbage
20:19.09 MarcTannous It's not even available in my country
20:19.15 MarcTannous I don't even know how I am supposed to watch that movie
20:19.43 Stragus I was able to pay for it, but I had to pirate to actually get to watch it
20:19.50 MarcTannous Also there's a great movie regarding the life of Alan Turing starring Benedict Cumberbatch ( The guy from Sherlock ) called the imitation game
20:20.00 MarcTannous That's been released in like early november in UK
20:20.09 MarcTannous and it will get premiered in Romania on the 1st of February
20:20.11 MarcTannous I mean come on
20:20.14 Stragus Some people still haven't figured out that they need to make paid movies/music *more* convenient than pirating them
20:20.26 Stragus Ouch
20:20.39 MarcTannous It takes 3 months for a few gigas of data to travel from one PC to another apparently
20:21.24 MarcTannous What a beautiful era we live in
20:22.03 Stragus Is that typical of all movies? It just brings more people to find alternative ways
20:22.04 MarcTannous Not sure, this is the first movie I have ever really wanted to see as soon as it gets here in my life
20:22.09 MarcTannous And I was very disappointed by it
20:22.14 Stragus More stupid decisions from an industry that likes shooting itself in the foot
20:22.24 MarcTannous Not sure what the marketing process behind this is
20:22.48 MarcTannous Probably they don't consider it a movie that people would come in big masses to watch and they wait a few months to buy it from the producer for a lower price? Idk
20:23.35 Stragus It's amazing they still haven't figured out that people would pay for downloading movies and music, hassle free
20:26.10 Stragus Google Video demands some version of Flash that isn't even available on Linux for Firefox. Then it produces weird errors that are supposed to tell you that you must install some HAL protected content module with about 15 dependencies
20:26.29 Stragus And then it's still doesn't work, and you get a copy from any torrent site
20:27.09 MarcTannous What about the music industry?
20:27.17 MarcTannous Where I have to pay 1$ for a song from an artist I like
20:27.27 MarcTannous Over iTunes, something that works perfectly with Apple devices
20:27.48 Stragus Yes and, amazingly, I don't have any Apple device
20:28.01 MarcTannous But somehow the rest of the population, the plebs like me that use anything else besides iOS have to endure lots of issues in order to listen to music they like, legally
20:28.12 MarcTannous And the plebs like me actually make up for 70% of the population
20:28.32 Stragus And then the industry complains that pirating is stealing revenue from them
20:28.37 MarcTannous Where I can get an album faster,cheaper,and hassle-free over a torrent rather than from the creator
20:28.59 MarcTannous Maybe investing some money into a god damned global market and a good user interface with a dedicated team that could solve eventual issues would do the trick
20:29.03 MarcTannous But no, that would be logical
20:29.06 MarcTannous And who likes logical?
20:29.55 Stragus They are making the problem much worse by trying to control the entire ecosystem to prevent anyone from copying their music
20:31.05 Stragus Give me hassle free mp3 and OGG downloads and I'll be more than happy to pay
20:31.14 MarcTannous In the thousands of years of human existence, everything that was prohibited has slowly become a trend ( i.e alcohol, cigars, drugs, online piracy ) and somehow people still do it
20:31.40 MarcTannous And expect average John Does to not take the easier approach
20:32.23 Stragus The easier approach *should* be paying and getting your file, very easily. Like buying on Amazon, one click
20:32.31 MarcTannous I was actually impressed with Amazon the other day
20:32.41 MarcTannous Got a book and began reading it in what, 10 seconds?
20:32.58 MarcTannous I wish more content was done the Amazon-way
20:33.02 Stragus Indeed
20:50.59 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: any idea what the MGED command-line way to modify a TGC diameter is?
20:53.28 Stragus No idea sorry. ``Erik, there's a question for you :)
20:56.05 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: oh well... I'll keep looking at the source and see if I can figure it out..
21:15.09 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: is the logo for https://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2014/5219416023236608 supposed to be the Angelov one? shouldn't the grey part be disconnected from the red part?

21:54.33 ``Erik andromeda-galaxy: 'sed', and it's horrible :)
21:54.41 ``Erik (sed for solid editor, not stream editor...)
21:54.59 andromeda-galaxy ``Erik: I've used sed to change other things about primitives
21:55.32 andromeda-galaxy but I couldn't figure out how to scale the A, B, C, and D vectors without scaling anything else... I eventually decided to just use pscale inside archer; any idea why pscale isn't available in mged?
21:55.32 ``Erik Stragus: didn't you know, only poor college students use linux and even if they had money, they'd just steal anyway :D everyone will steal everything unless you drm the living crap out of it, any idiot (and only idiots) know that
21:56.59 ``Erik andromeda-galaxy: dunno what "pscale" is, but it's probably in mged under another name... I'd say either track what libged call makes pscale happen and look how it's called from mged, or wait for starseeker or brlcad to respond, srry
21:57.37 andromeda-galaxy ``Erik: I was looking at scale_tgc.c
21:57.42 andromeda-galaxy (_get_scale_tgc)
21:58.00 andromeda-galaxy and it's only called in pscale.c (all src/libged) (by ged_pscale)
21:58.37 andromeda-galaxy but ged_pscale isn't registered in the src/mged &c, only in src/libtclcad which, as far as I can tell, is only used by Archer
22:00.31 ``Erik hm, did you try "pscale" in mged?
22:00.44 andromeda-galaxy I did...
22:01.07 ``Erik guess it's new stuff, then
22:01.12 andromeda-galaxy isn't libtclcad only used by archer? I thought that mged used the mappings in src/mged/cmd.c
22:01.35 ``Erik I thought libtclcad was used by mged, not really sure...
22:02.04 ``Erik grep tclcad src/mged/* returns stuff
22:02.14 andromeda-galaxy well, as far as I can tell, src/mged/cmd.c contains duplicates of most of the to_cmds entries in tclcad_obj.c
22:02.42 ``Erik kinda looks like mged only uses tclcad for autopath
22:03.37 andromeda-galaxy it does...
