[00:03:16] <SWPadnos> Twingy, that's excellent!
[00:03:51] <SWPadnos> I saw your comment, and thought I was in the brlcad channel ;)
[00:38:52] <Twingy> I am hoping GTK dev community releases a stable 2.9 within the next couple of weeks
[00:39:56] <Twingy> not to mention nvidia releasing AMD64 drivers for FreeBSD
[00:45:11] <VNR> hello from Argentina, i have a technical question
[00:46:14] <Rugludallur> hi, go ahead, im sure someone around here can help :D
[00:47:43] <VNR> i want to use a universal stepper board from pico systems but i still need an analog output of +-10V to control the spindle
[00:49:26] <VNR> i need another board the question is if EMC support 2 boards and what board should i use
[00:50:19] <Twingy> Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care.
[00:50:19] <Twingy> I am really sorry for the priviuos responce.However, due to the competitive nature of this business, we can not discuss information on unannounced future products. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
[00:50:19] <Twingy> Regards,
[00:50:19] <Twingy> NVIDIA Customer Care.
[00:50:29] <VNR> ill be back in 5 minutes..
[00:50:53] <Rugludallur> VNR: I don't have enough experience with analog signals to help out, someone else here that can help ?
[00:51:17] <fenn> VNR:
[00:51:35] <fenn> you can simply pwm your analog out one of the digital i/o's right?
[00:51:56] <fenn> er, two of them i guess
[00:52:00] <fenn> bah
[00:57:13] <Rugludallur> VNR: I have been interfacing with the MP1000-THC for my THC and I know the guys at CandCNC have a +-10v spindle speed box but it is a bit expensive at $695
[00:57:22] <Rugludallur> VNR: MP1000-SPS
http://www.candcnc.com/MP1000ProductsChart.htm
[00:59:56] <Twingy> xylotex has a nice setup for a mere $600
[01:21:31] <VNR> i'm back.. thanks all for the answers
[01:22:24] <Dallur2> Dallur2 is now known as Dallur
[01:23:12] <SWPadnos> VNR, the hal_ppmc driver supports multiple boards (up to 24 boards total)
[01:23:45] <SWPadnos> you can also load the USC driver and some other hardware drivers at the same time
[01:25:05] <VNR> ok.. so i can use this universal stepper board and another card in conjunction.. thats good ;)
[03:53:08] <Jymmm> Twingy: I'd suggest goin with geckos over xylotex if you plan on doing any serious work.
[03:54:02] <Jymmm> If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought geckos instead of xylotex.
[03:54:58] <LawrenceG> Hey Jymmm whats cookin' in California?
[03:55:43] <Jymmm> LawrenceG: Gonna be up till 2pm tomorrow... finish parts, then hitting a show at 4am
[03:56:37] <LawrenceG> a few last minute projects by the sounds of it
[03:57:01] <Jymmm> MY machien fouled up on me a couple times, had to redo parts.
[03:58:12] <LawrenceG> I have had a slow week here.... I have been working on a low end servo amp.... it was kicking my butt for a few days.... it was an oscillator instead of an amp... I think that is tamed now
[03:58:47] <LawrenceG> now its on the the dspic part of it
[04:00:42] <LawrenceG> I am using the PID code from hal so it should be interesting to see how it translates to a micro....
[04:18:15] <Mess> Low all...
[04:18:54] <Mess> this island is gonna KeeP me....
[04:27:15] <fenn> is that a good thing?

[13:22:38] <^Eugenics> Have anyone tried to convert a ps (a png) to dxf and got ok result?
[13:23:43] <giacus> hello
[13:24:06] <giacus> ^Eugenics: there are few tools I guess
[13:24:08] <alex_joni> hi giacus
[13:24:10] <giacus> Image to gcode you meant ?
[13:24:10] <^Eugenics> Hello giacus
[13:24:16] <giacus> hi alex
[13:24:35] <giacus> cradek: should have something in his website maybe
[13:24:37] <^Eugenics> no, for the moment image to dxf
[13:24:50] <giacus> a human face ?
[13:25:10] <^Eugenics> I guess too dificult
[13:25:27] <giacus> I tried many, to be honest with poor results..
[13:25:32] <^Eugenics> now I only wnat lines that is snapable in qcad
[13:25:59] <^Eugenics> now I'm trying pstoedit
[13:45:12] <giacus> oh, from bitmap to vectors then
[13:45:55] <^Eugenics> from a ps
[13:46:03] <^Eugenics> to dxf
[13:50:43] <^Eugenics> anyone seen piere?
[13:57:48] <giacus> pier ?
[13:57:57] <giacus> 5 days ago ..
[13:58:04] <giacus> latest seen
[13:58:21] <giacus> last*
[14:03:50] <giacus> strange coincidence
[14:04:37] <giacus> was the 1982 and the Rolling Stones were playng a concert (first time in IT), Italy won the world cup the same day
[14:05:09] <giacus> after 20 and more years, they got back for a concert, and IT is agin on final
[14:05:23] <giacus> same month: july
[14:05:46] <giacus> wonder if it mean something :D
[14:06:17] <alex_joni> yeah, it means they should play more often in italy
[14:06:26] <giacus> btw, great concert, theyre old but always niceee
[14:06:26] <alex_joni> that way italians have a chance for soccer :D
[14:06:37] <^Eugenics> it must mean something... maybe aliens will show up
[14:06:56] <giacus> jagger was singing with the 'azzurra' shirt ..
[14:07:36] <giacus> and maxyscreen around the concert
[14:07:57] <giacus> peoples was watching concert and footbal match at the same time !
[14:09:12] <giacus> I think this was the last concert , they are very* old yet ..
[14:09:28] <giacus> as Bob Dylan too
[14:09:43] <giacus> he comes in this year too
[14:10:14] <giacus> very old rock stars
[14:12:02] <^Eugenics> maybe they will sing in wheelchairs later ;)
[14:13:05] <giacus> I love theyr songs
[14:13:27] <giacus> also like Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, all old generations bands
[14:13:42] <giacus> was a genuine rock
[14:14:26] <giacus> Led zeppelin
[14:15:02] <^Eugenics> Led zeppelin rocks!
[14:15:32] <giacus> Queen was an excellent band too
[14:15:42] <^Eugenics> but paying a 100 euro to go to a stones concert... well I dont know
[14:15:53] <giacus> Freddy Mercury voice is wonderful
[14:16:04] <giacus> was*
[14:16:18] <^Eugenics> yes
[14:16:24] <giacus> ^Eugenics: well i'd pay 100 for theyr concert
[14:16:31] <giacus> one time in the life..
[14:16:38] <^Eugenics> I need to be able to make money!
[14:16:52] <giacus> with CNC ?
[14:17:13] <giacus> you have to join politics business to make lot of money
[14:17:19] <^Eugenics> what ever, then 100 euro is smallar problem than now...
[14:17:20] <giacus> not honestly ..
[14:17:22] <alex_joni> there are nice free concerts once in a while
[14:17:37] <alex_joni> there was paul mccartne playing in rome (when I was there)
[14:17:39] <^Eugenics> not often
[14:17:40] <alex_joni> and Elton John too
[14:17:45] <alex_joni> once in a while ;)
[14:17:47] <giacus> yeah
[14:17:49] <^Eugenics> cool!
[14:17:54] <alex_joni> McCartney I mean ;9
[14:17:56] <alex_joni> ;)
[14:18:02] <alex_joni> darn .. can't type at all today
[14:18:13] <^Eugenics> already drunk ;)
[14:18:24] <alex_joni> been programming for a few hours
[14:18:30] <^Eugenics> :)
[14:18:33] <giacus> yes, the music is in debits with the Beatles yet ..
[14:18:47] <giacus> and will be for a long time I guess
[14:19:04] <alex_joni> juve@ubuntu:~/emc2/src$ ../bin/halcmd show pin halui | wc -l
[14:19:04] <alex_joni> 128
[14:21:32] <giacus> * giacus looks at his 3D scanner table and wonder how to build it ..
[14:22:48] <giacus> too much small steppers, slides and wires here around !
[14:23:29] <giacus> need to clean the desk before going on
[14:23:43] <alex_joni> halui is starting to have a LOT of pins
[14:23:57] <CIA-8> 03alex_joni 07HEAD * 10emc2/src/emc/usr_intf/halui.cc:
[14:23:57] <CIA-8> lots of pins for joint control (homing, is-homed, has-fault, is on (min/max) -
[14:23:57] <CIA-8> (soft/hard) limit), also means for selecting a joint (to minimize the number of
[14:23:57] <CIA-8> external buttons). (halui.pincount += 81) Also changed the exit routine, so that
[14:23:57] <CIA-8> halui now exists gracefully (we don't need to free NML buffers, as we don't own
[14:23:58] <CIA-8> them).
[14:24:45] <alex_joni> the good part is that only a few pins for jogging are left, and it should be done
[14:25:30] <giacus> nice
[14:26:44] <giacus> alex_joni: could be possible to install Head and Testing at the same time using different directory ?
[14:26:50] <alex_joni> sure
[14:26:53] <giacus> same partition
[14:26:59] <giacus> nice
[14:27:05] <alex_joni> but not from deb packages
[14:27:08] <giacus> I've to check the CVS then
[14:27:13] <alex_joni> you need to have the CVS version
[14:27:14] <giacus> no, from source
[14:27:20] <giacus> yeah
[14:27:25] <alex_joni> right, and to configure --enable-run-in-place
[14:27:41] <alex_joni> that way emc runs only inside the directory you put it into
[14:27:41] <giacus> K
[14:27:52] <alex_joni> so basicly you can have unlimited numbers of emc's around :D
[14:27:57] <alex_joni> I have about 5 or 6
[14:28:03] <giacus> that's is coool :)
[14:29:51] <alex_joni> giacus: seen my latest pictures?
[14:30:06] <giacus> not yet.. url ?
[14:30:09] <alex_joni> http://dsplabs.utt.ro/~juve/blog/index.cgi/photography/01152273021
[14:31:04] <giacus> wow
[14:31:44] <giacus> nice collection :)
[14:34:05] <alex_joni> yeah, those were very nice flowers
[14:34:08] <anonimasu> hello
[14:34:17] <alex_joni> hi anders
[14:34:25] <anonimasu> what's up?
[14:34:29] <alex_joni> giacus: too bad I didn't have much time, I would have shot lots more
[14:34:32] <alex_joni> anonimasu: not much :D
[14:34:38] <anonimasu> ok
[14:36:41] <giacus> alex_joni: nice, what the robot was for ?
[14:36:48] <giacus> hi anonimasu
[14:36:55] <alex_joni> giacus: welding ;)
[14:38:12] <giacus> good
[14:38:25] <alex_joni> giacus: as usual :D
[14:38:28] <alex_joni> but 8 axes this time
[14:51:33] <alex_joni> * alex_joni needs some C8H10N4O2
[14:55:22] <anonimasu> lol
[14:55:42] <anonimasu> me too
[15:00:32] <Rugludallur> Hey, I just got a mail from the guy behind the classicladder project, you might want to read the forum thread he mailed me about ->
http://membres.lycos.fr/mavati/classicladder/
[15:01:15] <Rugludallur> http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1529217&forum_id=88266
[15:02:05] <Rugludallur> Rugludallur is now known as Dallur
[15:02:45] <Dallur> It sounds like Marc wants to be more involed with Classicladder in EMC2
[15:12:00] <alex_joni> Dallur: I emailed Marc a while ago, saying that we'll use classicladder in emc2
[15:12:03] <alex_joni> maybe he forgot
[15:12:29] <Dallur> alex_joni: might be, I am sending him an email now and telling him I am sure we would love to have him more deeply involved
[15:12:46] <alex_joni> and if you read the README.txt inside classicladder, it's all there
[15:12:48] <alex_joni> http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/emc2/src/hal/classicladder/README.txt?rev=1.2;content-type=text%2Fplain
[15:13:47] <Dallur> alex_joni: Yup, I think he might just be excited by the fact that someone is using classicladder to control something big in the real world :D
[15:14:23] <alex_joni> I really would not want him to think we don't appreciate his work
[15:14:36] <alex_joni> or want to hide from our users that he did the initial work
[15:15:15] <Dallur> alex_joni: Yup, hmm is there a link from the linuxcnc.org links page to classicladder ....
[15:16:26] <Dallur> alex_joni: I don't know what you think but I think that might make him happy :D
[15:16:39] <alex_joni> Dallur: yeah, I tried to put all relevant links whenever I had a chance
[15:16:51] <alex_joni> I see the wiki doesn't mention his site, but I'm working on it right now
[15:17:13] <Dallur> alex_joni: I will edit my THC wiki page and put a link to his site to
[15:19:09] <alex_joni> cool, I'll respond to his thread
[15:19:19] <alex_joni> thanks for pointing it out
[15:19:23] <Dallur> alex_joni: I will also send him an email
[15:20:03] <Dallur> alex_joni: I think it would be really good if he wants to get involved and I think it might be a drive for him that someone is actually using his work for real life implementatinos
[15:20:08] <Dallur> err implementations
[15:23:22] <alex_joni> hmm.. seems I did talk to him back in 2005 January
[15:23:27] <alex_joni> maybe he can't remember ;)
[15:24:04] <Dallur> :D
[15:33:07] <alex_joni> http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3813069
[15:35:48] <alex_joni> hmm.. I see he started working on it again
[15:35:58] <alex_joni> the project had been idle for almost a year before
[15:36:06] <alex_joni> I had no idea he went back to work on it
[15:36:42] <Dallur> alex_joni: Yup, I think I pretty much convinced him to add float support and configurable timers as his top priority :D
[15:37:25] <Dallur> alex_joni: which would be great, hopefully I can migrate the changes from his code tree to the one in EMC and we will have configurable timers
[15:38:07] <alex_joni> Dallur: for any questions peteg is your man
[15:38:15] <alex_joni> PeteV .. sorry ;)
[15:38:32] <Dallur> ahh I heard his name before, he is the one that did the original integration correct ?
[15:38:33] <alex_joni> Peter G. Vavaroutsos
[15:38:36] <alex_joni> right
[15:38:46] <alex_joni> I did one before, but that was one lame attempt ;)
[15:38:53] <alex_joni> he did the proper things :)
[15:39:12] <Dallur> to me classicladder and emc2 are a match made in heaven
[15:39:23] <Dallur> they really do complement each other
[15:39:53] <alex_joni> Dallur: maybe you'll find halui usefull too (for hardware panels)
[15:40:09] <Dallur> alex_joni: already using it
[15:40:18] <alex_joni> cool, I added a few more pins today
[15:40:25] <Dallur> alex_joni:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Torch_Height_Control
[15:40:37] <alex_joni> Dallur: cool
[15:41:28] <Dallur> alex_joni: halui actually gave me one of the best features I have seen for plasma, I now pause program execution for users to verify pierce height before the arc is struck
[15:41:40] <alex_joni> I see you use halvcp
[15:41:58] <Dallur> alex_joni: yup, and halui and classicladder and huge number of blocks :Þ
[15:42:06] <alex_joni> nice stuff
[15:42:18] <alex_joni> well.. I added about 80 more pins to halui today
[15:42:33] <alex_joni> mostly for controlling joints (homing, and watching errors, and limits, etc)
[15:42:34] <Dallur> alex_joni: hmm I need to check,
[15:43:01] <alex_joni> Dallur: let me know if you think there is still something missing from halui
[15:43:02] <Dallur> alex_joni: ahh I really need to check that out, I had to manually do the "inverse homing"
[15:43:07] <alex_joni> except jogging..
[15:43:21] <alex_joni> I know I have to add that :D
[15:43:52] <Dallur> alex_joni: will do, I will probably not get around to do it untill next week but,, since I took a month off to work on open source projects I have all the time in the world
[15:44:04] <alex_joni> heh, that sounds like a dream
[15:44:06] <alex_joni> :D
[15:44:47] <Dallur> alex_joni: I took 1 month to work on open source projects and 1 month to work on boat, so now I just have to finish a full plasma implementation before I start to cut everything for my b oat
[15:44:52] <Dallur> s/oat/boat/g
[15:49:17] <^Eugenics> Hello Dallur.
[15:49:29] <Dallur> Hey chinamill/eugenics
[15:49:47] <^Eugenics> Are you gonna use a mig to join the steel plates?
[15:50:11] <Dallur> yup,
[15:50:29] <^Eugenics> you allready have a mig beast?
[15:50:34] <Dallur> I got a 320A mig here
[15:50:44] <^Eugenics> tjoho!
[15:50:46] <Dallur> but for the stainless I will use the TIG or stick
[15:50:50] <^Eugenics> great!
[15:50:54] <^Eugenics> ok
[15:50:55] <Dallur> (I also have a 450A AC/DC tig)
[15:51:51] <^Eugenics> then you will have a fast welding period.
[15:52:14] <^Eugenics> did you got the machinary used?
[15:52:19] <Dallur> Eugenics: I think so, plus the guy I am building the boat with is the best welder I have ever seen
[15:52:35] <Dallur> Eugenics: yup, everything is second hand, and most was bought defect or broken and fixed
[15:52:36] <^Eugenics> :) You are lucky
[15:53:06] <Dallur> Next time I think I will build out of aluminum (aluminium)
[15:53:59] <^Eugenics> why not now?
[15:54:29] <Dallur> I already have all the materials and the design is for steel
[15:54:38] <^Eugenics> ok
[16:05:39] <giacus> Dallur: a boat using steel ?
[16:05:50] <giacus> a submarine ?
[16:05:59] <alex_joni> giacus: wooden boats are kinda oldschool ;)
[16:06:06] <alex_joni> all modern ships are made out of steel :D
[16:06:11] <alex_joni> airplanes too
[16:06:18] <Dallur> giacus: yes using steel
[16:06:28] <Dallur> giacus: nope, just a sailboat
[16:06:30] <giacus> weight ?
[16:06:41] <Dallur> alex_joni: well steel+aluminium+titanium
[16:06:43] <giacus> I have a small boat
[16:06:53] <giacus> 4.70 meters
[16:07:01] <giacus> aluminium, 48 kg
[16:07:10] <Dallur> giacus :D great, sail, paddle or motor
[16:07:25] <alex_joni> motor, if that fails sail, if that fails -> paddle ;)
[16:07:39] <giacus> I use 4 HP Suzuky motor
[16:07:53] <giacus> it doe not require insurance here ..
[16:07:58] <giacus> its cheap
[16:08:20] <Dallur> giacus: same here, anything under 6 (19')m does not require insurance
[16:08:29] <giacus> no special requirements until 800 meters from the coast too
[16:08:33] <Dallur> (6m/19')
[16:08:39] <giacus> nice
[16:08:43] <Dallur> giacus: so you use it on saltwater '
[16:09:09] <giacus> it would be a boat for lake in origin
[16:09:19] <giacus> but its quite nice for sea too
[16:09:48] <Dallur> giacus: where about do you live (if you don't mind me asking)
[16:11:51] <^Eugenics> Here's a link to an app that is great (and OS) for modelling boats (and get cutting patterns)
http://www.freeship.org/
[16:12:16] <giacus> http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=38.223347,16.272125&spn=0.09993,0.159988&t=k&om=1
[16:12:28] <Dallur> Eugenics: Yes, I remembered you mentioned it before, so I downloaded it and took a good look, it looks great
[16:12:34] <Dallur> giacus:
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=64.196348,-21.695477&spn=0.003288,0.010064&t=k&om=1
[16:12:50] <^Eugenics> it has a pretty good tutorial too
[16:13:25] <giacus> nice
[16:13:31] <Dallur> giacus: italy nice :D
[16:14:11] <Dallur> giacus: I have only been to Italy once, and I was only there for 3 hours, and that was in Trieste
[16:15:23] <alex_joni> heh, close to slovenia iirc
[16:15:28] <alex_joni> and croatia ;)
[16:16:04] <Dallur> alex_joni: yes, I was actually in slovenia then, and we discovered that they did not sell beer on sundays ,, so we drove over to Italy to buy beers :D
[16:16:38] <giacus> haha
[16:17:05] <giacus> strange, they do not sell beer on sundays..
[16:17:15] <Dallur> alex_joni are you still in that area, you were in Bulgaria before If I remember correctly
[16:18:17] <Dallur> giacus: it was the sunday before 1. May, that might have been the reason
[16:19:13] <alex_joni> Dallur: romania
[16:19:31] <alex_joni> but I drove through trieste last summer
[16:19:39] <alex_joni> was in croatia on vacation, then in italy
[16:20:29] <giacus> that's a nice place to visit
[16:21:00] <giacus> but for fun, the boys prefer Viareggio, Rimini, Riccione, Jesolo
[16:21:16] <giacus> who like to dance all night ..
[16:21:32] <giacus> sea, sun and lot of fun
[16:21:58] <alex_joni> I can't wait to see how siracusa will be next week :)
[16:22:01] <giacus> btw, its not what I like
[16:22:26] <alex_joni> actually on the 18th
[16:22:29] <giacus> alex_joni: neat sea there around
[16:22:37] <alex_joni> giacus: hope so ;)
[16:23:58] <Dallur> it would be great to hire a sailboat and go island hopping for a month or two,,,, , dsdld but then again better to finish the boat and go island hopping for years
[16:25:40] <^Eugenics> :)
[16:26:11] <giacus> alex_joni: they have very different beach than here
[16:26:15] <Dallur> Hmm I should probably map out everyone involved in the EMC project and plot the fastest route to visit everyone :D
[16:26:15] <^Eugenics> Dallur: If you pas Nice I'll give a tour ;)
[16:26:42] <giacus> once you enterd in the water you can walk for 100 mt there
[16:26:50] <giacus> and touch
[16:27:12] <giacus> here not, after few meters the level is 2-3 meters depth
[16:27:24] <Dallur> Eugenics: I'm sure I will, I also need to go to Nice because of work sometimes, I might ping you if I am around
[16:28:39] <alex_joni> Dallur: check out frappr
[16:28:44] <alex_joni> www.frappr.com/emc2
[16:28:58] <Dallur> ahh well I need to go dress for a dinner party (time to wear my "I hate ties" tie)
[16:30:01] <Dallur> alex_joni: I will spend alot of time in Europe, North America and Australia it seems
[16:30:17] <^Eugenics> Dallur: Do that!
[16:30:32] <Dallur> It's wierd though, there is not one person in Asia or South America :(
[16:30:45] <alex_joni> not on that map
[16:30:51] <alex_joni> probably loads of users though
[16:31:12] <Dallur> alex_joni: yes, I would imagine there are a couple of machines shipping out of china with EMC
[16:43:06] <giacus> wanna know if you're taking too much sun on the beach ?
[16:43:18] <giacus> now you can
http://www.repubblica.it/2006/07/sezioni/scienza_e_tecnologia/bikini-uv-meter/bikini-uv-meter/bikini-uv-meter.html
[16:43:29] <giacus> just for $ 190
[16:43:31] <giacus> O_O
[16:44:24] <^Eugenics> essensial!
[16:44:31] <giacus> :D
[16:45:40] <giacus> good business, the womans are ready to spend lot of money for theyr beautiful
[16:47:26] <alex_joni> * alex_joni goes out to ride his bike for a while
[18:09:33] <alex_joni> back
[18:26:44] <giacus> * giacus is ready for Germany-Portugal
[18:26:55] <giacus> hope in a nice football show :P
[20:27:40] <robin_sz> ick fussball
[20:31:13] <alex_joni> wo?
[20:43:17] <giacus> 3th place for Germany
[20:43:55] <giacus> I think the true final was Italy-Germany not the match they will play tomorrow ..
[20:45:36] <giacus> btw..
[20:45:49] <giacus> * giacus start the countdown :D
[20:53:15] <robin_sz> * robin_sz stops caring about football
[20:53:27] <robin_sz> actually, no .. I never cared in the first place
[20:54:22] <giacus> right now the French is favorited
[20:54:50] <giacus> but the 2th place or first was right for the Germany team
[20:55:08] <giacus> they played a good game
[20:55:22] <giacus> I think better than French
[20:55:48] <robin_sz> 2nd not 2th by the way
[20:55:49] <giacus> but its my personal point of view
[20:56:01] <robin_sz> short for "second" 2nd
[20:56:08] <giacus> oh ok
[20:56:12] <robin_sz> :)
[20:56:21] <giacus> :/
[20:56:24] <giacus> hehe
[20:56:30] <robin_sz> 1,2, and 3 are different
[20:56:38] <giacus> right
[20:56:43] <robin_sz> 1 is 1st .. for "first"
[20:56:54] <robin_sz> and 3 is 3rd for "third"
[20:56:56] <giacus> sorry..
[20:57:05] <robin_sz> no, no need, your english is good
[20:57:24] <giacus> I think is very bad
[20:57:37] <robin_sz> I just pass this on so maybe you rememebr, it would be rude if I did not help, no?
[20:57:38] <giacus> just because i'm playng with it too many years ..
[20:57:55] <giacus> I would be perfect ! but it isnt
[20:58:06] <robin_sz> your english is better than my Italian :)
[20:58:12] <giacus> that mean I'm not so clever to learn
[20:58:18] <robin_sz> the englishare very bad at learning languages!!
[20:58:26] <giacus> bah.. that's ok
[20:58:38] <robin_sz> you know why we are so bad?
[20:58:51] <giacus> you can speak italian only in 1 country
[20:59:00] <giacus> not so useful
[20:59:12] <robin_sz> not any other country?
[20:59:24] <giacus> instead, I started hearding ebglish songs when I was 12
[20:59:37] <robin_sz> we are so bad because we do not learn ANY grammar in school
[20:59:38] <giacus> robin_sz: I think only in IT
[20:59:45] <robin_sz> no grammar at all!
[20:59:47] <giacus> spanish instead is better
[20:59:50] <robin_sz> can you imagine?
[21:00:05] <giacus> used also in center america I guess
[21:00:16] <robin_sz> so, we don't really know how our own language is put together, so it is impossible for us to learn another
[21:00:26] <giacus> well, english is dinamic
[21:00:33] <giacus> very dinamic
[21:00:38] <robin_sz> shrug
[21:00:45] <giacus> I like it
[21:01:04] <robin_sz> most people do not know how to decline a verb in english .. or even what a verb is!!
[21:01:17] <giacus> to mean the same thing in IT you have to use much more words than english
[21:01:39] <giacus> I have a big difficult with verbs, infact
[21:03:20] <giacus> to fork:
[21:03:34] <giacus> in italian is: usare la forchetta
[21:03:49] <giacus> to get an idea..
[21:04:58] <giacus> 10 chars more to mean exactly the same thing
[21:05:12] <giacus> and it happen for 90%
[21:05:28] <alex_joni> what's to fork?
[21:05:38] <alex_joni> I think you mean "use a fork"
[21:05:41] <alex_joni> as in eat?
[21:05:49] <giacus> yeah
[21:05:58] <alex_joni> you can't use "to fork"
[21:06:06] <alex_joni> it's also "use a fork" just like in italian
[21:06:22] <giacus> yeah, it was an example
[21:06:41] <giacus> how italian is more complex and not so useful
[21:06:48] <giacus> for what I know
[21:09:11] <giacus> however, it dictionary is inherithing many terms from english
[21:09:36] <giacus> to say OK, we have to say 'va bene' ..
[21:09:50] <giacus> VIP (very important person), and so on
[21:09:56] <alex_joni> yeah, but you also have OK ;)
[21:10:00] <alex_joni> okeee
[21:10:01] <alex_joni> :D
[21:10:11] <giacus> yeah
[21:10:47] <giacus> since 1945 I think ..
[21:12:35] <giacus> on the computers that is true for all
[21:12:59] <giacus> e.g the boys are using terms as 'browser'
[21:13:15] <giacus> and there are not equivalent it terms for that
[21:13:33] <giacus> and so on for lot of terms
[21:16:16] <giacus> browser, files, directory, mouse, etc.. are used in english everywhere
[21:16:23] <robin_sz> not so
[21:16:32] <giacus> at least here
[21:16:45] <robin_sz> france uses french words
[21:16:54] <giacus> for the 'mouse' ?
[21:16:57] <robin_sz> sourris
[21:17:17] <giacus> curious
[21:17:22] <giacus> not here..
[21:17:32] <robin_sz> anyway ...
[21:18:41] <giacus> funny
[21:18:47] <robin_sz> ooh, I just spotted a couple of domain names to go and cybersquat :)
[21:18:53] <giacus> I've few cousins living in north italy
[21:19:10] <giacus> near the french, but in italy (valle d'aosta)
[21:19:17] <giacus> near the mont blanc
[21:19:37] <giacus> they speak 50% italian and 50% french
[21:19:45] <giacus> weird
[21:20:50] <giacus> robin_sz: oh, in the swiss you could find someone speaking italian maybe
[21:21:04] <giacus> and in few other places
[21:22:09] <robin_sz> true, southern .ch, zermatt they speak .it
[21:25:00] <giacus> yes, I'm happy to know we exported something of good other than mafia only all around the world :)
[21:25:39] <alex_joni> giacus: don't forget pizza
[21:25:40] <alex_joni> and pasta
[21:25:52] <giacus> many scientists are working all over the world and that's good
[21:25:57] <giacus> alex_joni: hehe yeah

[22:08:53] <CIA-8> 03cradek 07HEAD * 10axis/extensions/emcmodule.cc: make the backplot match the preview when using g43 (tool offsets).
[22:22:41] <giacus> doh.. a ticket for the final IT-FR reached the cost of E. 5k
[22:24:56] <giacus> another funny thing:
[22:26:18] <giacus> an italian company starts selling about 80k plasma tv color and sayd: if IT win the world cup you'll get the money back (that was the spot)
[22:26:42] <giacus> if it win they have to give about 10 million of euro back haha
[22:26:47] <giacus> to costumers
[22:27:13] <jmkasunich> wow
[22:27:17] <giacus> lol
[22:27:40] <jmkasunich> maybe they bet 10 million euro on italy to win before the cup started
[22:27:44] <giacus> I didint buy it sigh ..
[22:28:08] <jmkasunich> what were the odds for italy at the beginning?
[22:28:12] <giacus> jmkasunich: yeah, of course, before to start
[22:28:48] <giacus> jmkasunich: nobody was sure that IT was a good team
[22:29:01] <jmkasunich> if 10:1 against, the could bet 1 million euro... if italy loses, they lose 1 million, but have money from selling TVs... if italy wins, they pay the customers with the bet winnings
[22:29:03] <giacus> also for what happen lately
[22:34:14] <giacus> yes, the cost of the TV was E. 1.650,00
[22:34:37] <giacus> costumers will get it back only if it win
[22:34:49] <Imperator_> companys making such offers finance that normaly with a insurance !
[22:34:55] <giacus> http://www.dynamick.it/televisori-in-regalo-solo-se-litalia-vince-i-mondiali-468.html
[22:35:09] <giacus> of course is closed now :(

[22:35:45] <giacus> Imperator_: they sayd, btw the got it good
[22:35:54] <giacus> that are not money back
[22:36:08] <giacus> but tickets to buy something in theyr shop ..
[22:36:16] <jmkasunich> heh
[22:36:25] <Imperator_> hm
[22:36:25] <giacus> for the equivalent value they spent
[22:36:32] <giacus> hehe
[22:36:37] <jmkasunich> not quite the same as cash ;-/
[22:36:40] <giacus> business is business..
[22:37:01] <giacus> they could bout anything of the same value
[22:37:14] <giacus> E. 1.650 are not few
[22:38:21] <giacus> http://www.mediaworld.it/home.html
[22:43:30] <giacus> the players who win the final match will get E. 250K each ..
[22:44:32] <giacus> just as bnus, from FIFA

[23:15:27] <robin_sz> http://www.porkolt.com/other/shocking/apache/gunship/attack/iraq/kill/war/footage-of-apache-gunship-taking-out-iraqis-795.html
[23:15:38] <robin_sz> now .. that one is weird ...
[23:15:50] <robin_sz> on the one hand, death is not pleasant
[23:16:19] <robin_sz> on the other, it is amazing to place shots so accurately from 1000m +
[23:18:29] <giacus> yes, I already seen that in a documentary time ago
[23:18:55] <giacus> incredible
[23:19:24] <robin_sz> 30mm canon, from a helicopter platform and so accurate at such a range
[23:19:45] <robin_sz> and the people do not even know it is there, so it must be a long way away
[23:20:53] <giacus> http://www.corriere.it/Media/Foto/2006/07_Luglio/08/fdg/PAM_550x419_reuters.jpg
[23:21:26] <giacus> that's not so accurate, but seems efficaciuos too
[23:21:29] <giacus> :D
[23:22:20] <dmessier> i have that on.. .. look at the HUD.. watch the ammo count go ..
[23:25:42] <giacus> robin_sz: time ago rainews24 did a movie about white phosphorus, that scenes are used in the final part of the documentary
[23:25:53] <giacus> it should be online yet I guess ..

[23:31:32] <fenn> uh oh
[23:31:35] <giacus> nice
[23:31:39] <fenn> pretty soon we'll have a mach 3 panel :)
[23:31:52] <CIA-8> 03alex_joni 07HEAD * 10emc2/configs/halui_halvcp/ (halui.vcp halvcp.hal): rework of the vcp, added a few more buttons and leds
[23:31:53] <alex_joni> fenn: this is only a helper gui
[23:32:03] <alex_joni> the main use of it will be in hardware panels
[23:33:04] <alex_joni> fenn: I don't expect anyone to use halvcp&halui as a GUI
[23:49:47] <K4ts> night
