14:27 MrCurious Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
14:28 GuShH I SAID SO
14:28 GuShH the adidas golden ball trophy looks nasty
14:30 MrCurious at least it doesnt look like some kind of sex toy...
14:30 MrCurious in case there is confusion about what football means... see this image for clarification http://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1510/15104833/2515896-0087592805-cjwer.jpg
14:32 GuShH haha
14:36 MrCurious is hand egg popular in argentina?
14:37 GuShH only rugby, used to play it.
14:37 GuShH english...
14:42 MrCurious well if your prediction is right.. how will argentina do vs germany? will they get swiffered like brazil did?
14:42 GuShH only if we lose our best players today
14:43 GuShH quite frankly who cares if germany wins...
14:45 MrCurious what would the ramifications of a german world domination be?
14:46 MrCurious so was the brazil goalie new to the game or something?
14:46 GuShH moustaches.
14:55 GuShH MrCurious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ub0SY0WR-c lol
15:00 MrCurious i dont understand their words.
15:46 f00bar80 Using arduino, and some sensors, can i have the same functioning of a LEGO mindstorms ?
15:54 Tom_itx more
15:59 Tom_itx http://elecp-media.com/portal/wts/ugmcfMbh8fDbbwmtDcodAE%7Ccvcfd3wa
16:00 MrCurious there was a drone watching our fireworks too
16:00 MrCurious at first i thought it was a burning green ember going dangerously close to the ground
16:07 MrCurious turned out to be the highlight of the show... was remarkedly stable in the wind
16:14 MrCurious http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smart-car-tank-chassis-robot-tracked-vehicles-chassis-Wali/1818567039.html
16:23 MrCurious and now the dutch should explode
16:24 deshipu wali
16:33 f00bar80 ppl any comment, even is there anyway to easily port mindstorms controller to arduino
16:34 MrCurious hate to ask, but did you google it?
16:34 MrCurious because that google chap is really clever on these matters
16:45 deshipu f00bar80: what do you mean? you want to program it with arduino IDE?
16:46 deshipu f00bar80: that kinda doesn't make much sense, as it's much, much more powerful, at least the recent arm-based ones
16:51 f00bar80 deshipu, you mean the EV3 is more powerful than the arduino?
16:52 deshipu f00bar80: yup, it runs linux
16:53 deshipu f00bar80: it's as powerful as your computer 5 years ago, probably
16:53 deshipu 300MHz ARM9
16:53 deshipu well, ok, 10 years ago
16:54 deshipu still way more powerful that the atmega in arduino
16:56 deshipu 64MB of ram, compared to 2kB on the arduino :)
16:58 deshipu it's about half as powerful as a raspberry pi, say
16:59 deshipu now, NXT was closer to the arduino, with 64KB of ram and a microcontroller
17:08 f00bar80 deshipu, basically i'm trying to control the lego PF motors using arduino, didn't find anyway else than hacking the power extension cable
17:09 deshipu aah
19:30 Tom_itx don't use linux tools to burn a dvd
19:30 Tom_itx unless you're young when you start
19:41 Tom_itx gonna take nearly 2 hrs just to calculate a checksum
19:50 Tom_itx and climbing...
19:51 gartt People still burn DVDs?
19:51 Tom_itx i needed to backup some data
19:51 Tom_itx it's a backup to the backup
19:52 gartt Ah
19:53 Tom_itx had i known, i'd have stuck another hdd in and copied it over
19:54 gartt I haven't touched a CD or DVD in years. I use thumbdrives and hard drives these days
19:54 Tom_itx yup
19:54 Tom_itx i got most of it on a thumbdrive but i wanted to be sure i got it
19:54 Tom_itx don't need any 'oh shit' moments here
19:59 Tom_itx time to abort this...
19:59 Tom_itx 3+ hrs just to make a checksum
20:09 Gargantuasauce_ Tom_itx: sounds like you're Doing It Wrong
20:10 Gargantuasauce_ it's fine for me using k3b
20:12 Tom_itx using the gui, drag and drop files... burn
20:13 Tom_itx anyway, i aborted it and it still looks like the files are on it
22:35 GargantuaSauce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuP78X6H5JU
22:51 robotustra_ GargantuaSauce: what does he say?
22:51 GargantuaSauce moshimosh = hello on a phone
22:51 GargantuaSauce that's the extent of my knowledge
22:51 robotustra_ mosi mosi
22:51 robotustra_ Master Input Slave output
22:52 robotustra_ err
22:52 robotustra_ master output slave input
22:52 GuShH moshi moshi.
22:53 robotustra_ "sh" sounds different than "s" in russian
22:53 GuShH it does NOT mean what you think it does.
22:53 robotustra_ it close to russinn "s"
22:53 robotustra_ it DOES
22:53 GuShH It doesn't... you are diluted.
22:54 GargantuaSauce now that is not a thing i have heard a person called before
22:55 robotustra_ it's just because all japanise are lisping
22:56 robotustra_ my school mate is working in belarussian embassy in Japan
22:56 robotustra_ he told mosi mosi
22:57 robotustra_ actually it's something in between
22:57 robotustra_ s and sh
22:58 robotustra_ there is no equivalent sound in europeen languages
22:58 MrCurious mushi mushi
22:59 robotustra_ myshi - it mouses in russian
23:00 GuShH MrCurious: so who won..
23:00 GuShH was I right...
23:01 robotustra_ http://imtranslator.net/translate-and-speak/speak/japanese/
23:01 robotustra_ input mosi mosi
23:01 GuShH what an idiot.
23:01 robotustra_ and moshi moshi - there is no diference in pronouncing
23:01 GuShH it just means say, or the equivalent of "I'm saying" the thing is nothing translates properly from Japanese on the literal aspect.
23:02 robotustra_ it's a speller, you are real idiot
23:02 GuShH for fucks sake.
23:02 robotustra_ go kill yourself
23:02 GuShH Do that yourself, they hate you even at #reprap
23:02 GuShH What's your problem lately
23:03 robotustra_ who hate me?
23:03 GuShH You are their new Shaun.
23:03 robotustra_ and?
23:03 GuShH That's bad
23:03 robotustra_ orly?
23:04 robotustra_ for whom?
23:04 GuShH Quit trollin'
23:04 robotustra_ didn't even start
23:05 robotustra_ ppl so serious, try to exert some force
23:05 robotustra_ RULE and GUIDE
23:05 GuShH He must be on new meds
23:05 robotustra_ CONTROL
23:05 robotustra_ OBEY
23:05 GuShH No that's just Russia for you.
23:06 robotustra_ I remind you that I'm not russian
23:06 GuShH fled like a roach.
23:06 robotustra_ I'm piceful belarus
23:06 GuShH Belarussian is < Russian, so be thankful.
23:07 robotustra_ to you?
23:07 robotustra_ you are not my relative
23:07 robotustra_ even not a friend
23:07 GuShH Oh noes.
23:07 GuShH What does it take to befriend a robotustra?
23:08 robotustra_ attention
23:08 GuShH These british made 62Hrc punches seem too costly for what they are...
23:08 GuShH Yeah I'm not much into attention whores, but what else do you want, if I remember your projects at least I was paying attention right?
23:08 robotustra_ I don't know what are you talking about
23:08 GuShH number and letter punches
23:08 GuShH zinc coated
23:08 GargantuaSauce i want you to both shut up and robotustra to show me some print pics
23:08 GuShH non chinese.
23:08 robotustra_ you are the attention whore
23:08 GuShH three times the price difference.
23:09 GuShH I'm not the one making shit up about the Japanese
23:09 robotustra_ it was told many times in reprap
23:09 GuShH No, that's you.
23:09 GuShH You trolled like nobody trolled before.
23:09 robotustra_ why I don't care your opinion?
23:09 GuShH The legendary robotustra
23:09 GuShH You don't care anyone's opinion
23:10 robotustra_ you just behave to start me trolling you
23:10 robotustra_ that's not true
23:10 GuShH I don't understand what that means
23:10 robotustra_ I care, but not always
23:10 robotustra_ you trigger my trolling
23:11 GuShH lol
23:11 GuShH It's in your DNA.
23:11 robotustra_ you can prove it?
23:11 robotustra_ you phrases are half trolling half sarcastic
23:12 robotustra_ I just can't stant to reply
23:12 GuShH At day, repressed worker with a frustrated dream. At night, Troll only comparable to Annoying Orange. (Don LaFontaine)
23:12 GuShH I don't understand how an assertion can also be sarcastic, even just half way.
23:19 ShH gives robotustra_ a hug an
23:27 GargantuaSauce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn7eBhwLaoQ
23:31 robotustra_ GargantuaSauce: nice
23:31 robotustra_ could be useful for ornithopter
23:33 GargantuaSauce yeah would be interesting to see how it works with an imu and closed-loop control instead of rc sticks
23:35 robotustra_ I did some models with flapping wings, but they never fly
23:36 robotustra_ tried to measure thrust and lift
23:36 robotustra_ it will be the next project after I finish a robot and buy a house with garage to build full scale ornithopter :)
23:37 GargantuaSauce heh
23:39 robotustra_ not too soon but It should be a fun
