00:03 rue_house I think someone is trying to make money on handling
02:29 rue_shop2 kat, would you please join #robotics and explain pwm to shuggans?
02:30 rue_shop2 wtf
02:30 rue_shop2 why wont anyone help here...
02:32 rue_shop2 kat?
10:11 useless rue?
10:24 useless I read pages like
10:24 useless http://tinyurl.com/b4fqa5c
10:24 useless and get sick to my stomach. Random people are donating money to that kid, in the total amount of $25,000 or more each year.
10:24 useless All i am asking is to be told i am worth a damn, that i have human rights that are above and beyond a dog or cat, and i can't get those words from anyone. It seems that asking for those words actually produces the opposite effect in humans.
10:24 useless I can make those arms, it's not difficult to build stuff, i've made "medical devices" before, and have a non-biologic "finger" on my desk right now. Yet they'd rather pay $25,000 for one than have a free one from me, because i am supposed to be useless.
10:24 useless useless
11:40 rue_house yours has to be ready for install
11:41 rue_house I'm knowing of more and more people who lose fingers
11:41 rue_house kinda un-nerving
12:21 TELunus Kat, do I, a random stranger from the internet, count as "anyone"?
14:04 useless TELunus , i would matter a lot more if you were here irl, which is where i keep getting beat down
16:23 useless i think i figured out how to make a magnitude comparator with no ripple carry
19:10 useless i guess no one else understands the magnitude of that
19:25 useless all need is an inverted open collector EOR gate
21:54 rue_shop2 if what I'm holding is not a machine screw, does that mean its a structure screw?
21:55 Tom_itx rue_bed, how do i find the parport address from a pci card?
21:55 Tom_itx in linux
21:56 rue_shop2 lspci
21:56 rue_shop2 also see isapnpdump
21:56 rue_shop2 or dmesg
21:56 Tom_itx dmesg doesn't show it
21:58 rue_shop2 if its been running too long it'll have scrolled off
22:12 Tom_itx how do you use lspci to find it?
22:13 Lolina8088 hey... you there?
22:14 eless looks for
22:46 useless ...
22:50 TELunus Why does C provide a way of working with files given a filename, but no way of looking at the file tree?
22:51 useless because C doesn't know all the filesystems in use, and every FS stors the dir differently
22:51 useless you haveto call a OS routine
22:52 useless ironically, the dir could be represented as an ordinary file, if anyone gave a rats patootie
23:01 useless hmm, this might work, a 20k resistor from +12 to pnp emitter, base tied to +5, collector pulling logic gate up, gates need only 40ua, then my F04 can pull down the emitter at 20ma / 64bits, or 300ua per bit
23:02 useless i could easily go up to 47k
23:03 useless i could adjust the bases down to 4v even, and still meet ttl high level
23:42 rue_shop2 !assist projects/shop
