[00:22] i'd like to see resolutions go > 5000 horizontal, > 3000 vertical [00:23] i don't know why people keep wanting to do silght improvements [00:23] like why not jump stragiht to 5120x3200 [00:27] at least the chipset on my netbook has a max of 4096x4096 [00:28] your netbook has lcd inbuilt [00:28] netbooks are always going to be non-ideal for multitasking etc [00:28] sure, doesn't mean I accept its builtin resolution of 1024x600 as my ideal pixel count workspace [00:28] my laptop has 1680x1050 [00:29] i don't find it too bad [00:29] xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1280x1024 .. helps a bit [00:29] but i don't try to show more than one thing on the screen at once [00:29] xterm -font 5x7 also helps [00:29] sounds painful [00:29] i saw a laptop with 640x200 resolution once [00:29] my eyes (for 10+ years) are quite accustomed to this. I hate wasting pixels. [00:29] you could see the pixels [00:30] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_General-One [00:30] heh [00:31] i'm using quite a small font [00:31] i dunno how to check though [00:33] 239x68 characters [00:33] so about 8 pixels wide [00:34] and 17 high? [00:35] 'quite a small font' heh. try 'xterm -font 5x7' [00:36] or if you have LC_CTYPE=utf-8 or somesuch, try: 'uxterm -font -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--7-70-75-75-C-50-ISO10646-1' [00:37] presuming your .Xresources or .Xdefaults don't over-ride the font [00:48] *** anisfarhana has quit IRC (Quit: gone.)

Like how do carriers know which provider a given number belongs to and how do they route calls [18:37] off topic I know, but figured someone here probably knows [18:38] SS7 [18:38] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signaling_System_7 [18:39] can analogies be made to Internet peers / transit [18:39] There's some central databases yes [18:40] well - the internet uses CIDR [18:40] can't do that with cell phones [18:40] each phone can be moved to a new carrier [18:40] so the routing is more complex [18:40] that and the whole packet switchted vs circuit switched networking? [18:40] imagine if each IPv4 could be on a different net :) [18:40] RandalSchwartz, they can :) [18:40] you'd have a table with every single phone number in it, mapped to carrier [18:40] well - no [18:40] there are CIDR aggregations [18:41] otherwise, routers would have blown up long ago [18:41] smallest of which is a /24 [18:41] even v6 has aggregation [18:41] well no, the smallest for v4 is /28 [18:41] I mean /30 [18:41] I thought you were referring to BGP announcements [18:41] 30 gives you router, host, broadcast, and mask [18:41] which is two hosts [18:41] ahh ok [18:42] yeah BGP is probably /24 [18:42] but within a BGP zone, /30 :) [18:42] v6 handles it a bit better [18:42] indeed [18:42] . /48 I guess [18:42] I have 5 ipv6 /48's :) [18:42] it was designed from the ground up to be better [18:43] but back to the PSTN - who takes care of which phone number is assigned to which operator [18:43] there's a central mapping authority [18:43] like is there a central "verisign" like when it ccomes to .com's [18:43] carriers all subscribe to it [18:43] and update it for migration [18:44] supposedly only for cell phones [18:44] mnathani, the NANPA does it for north america (http://www.nanpa.com/). [18:44] which is why google can migrate your cell number to google voice, but not your hardline [18:45] RandalSchwartz, you can move landlines around, although there are often limitations. [18:45] area limits? [18:46] yeah stuff like that [18:46] possile technical issues as well [18:46] possible* [19:11] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [19:11] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [19:30] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [19:47] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [19:47] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [20:40] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [21:16] *** HighJinx has quit IRC () [21:52] *** HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [23:07] *** mnathani has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [23:07] *** phlux has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [23:08] *** pjs has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [23:08] *** SpaceDump has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [23:09] *** Lucifer7 has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [23:09] *** SpaceDump has joined #arpnetworks [23:09] *** Hien has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [23:09] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [23:09] *** Lucifer7 has joined #arpnetworks [23:10] *** Hien has joined #arpnetworks [23:11] *** notion has quit IRC (Quit: notion?)

[23:43] up_the_irons: pretty good. i was in the neighborhood earlier today, had do drop off some medical equipment for a patient. [23:44] cool [23:44] howabout yourself? [23:44] pretty good; just working (as always) [23:45] you should relax sometime and drink a bottle of something. [23:46] we can set up a party and invite all the greats. [23:47] but everyone is so spread out now :( [23:49] oh, i was setting up a humidifier for this russian family. as the 80 y/o man was pouring a clear liquid into the humidifier chamber, he said something in russian "blah blah vodka blah" and smiled. [23:50] i had to check to make sure he didn't actually put vodka in there, cause russians can be pretty hardcore. [23:50] brachiation: i actually do drink a bottle of something from time to time... trust me ;) [23:50] brachiation: LOL [23:50] brachiation: so was it vodka? ;) [23:50] nah it was water. [23:50] but he had me second guessing him. [23:51] especially because of the smile. [23:51] haha [23:52] he was just joking with me. a lot of prankster elderly from what i've encoutered. [23:52] lol [23:52] cool [23:52] my wife said the elderly were the most flirtatious back when she worked in a hospital. [23:53] yeah my EMT teacher had some similar stories [23:53] i can't say ive experienced the same though. [23:53] old ladies in ambulances hitting on him ;) [23:53] hahaha [23:53] actually now that i think about it, there were at least 2 occasions for me. [23:54] also, lack of oxygen might make people act a little different. [23:55] or even worse when they are on morphine. [23:55] like... the driver took a sharp turn and he fell on a lady in the gurney and she says, "what happens in the ambulance stays in the ambulance" LOL [23:55] hahaha wow she is a born comdedian. [23:56] brachiation: hah yeah.. wouldn't lack of oxygen be similar to being drunk? [23:56] yeah people definitely act a little drunk. [23:56] but with confusion a lot of the time. [23:56] yeah [23:56] ah [23:56] like a short term dementia. [23:57] interesting [23:57] anytime someone acts weird like that, it is a good idea to have them take 'tests' for stroke. [23:58] the holding the arms forward, stick the tongue straight out, stuff like that. [23:58] if the tongue goes to one side, then that could be sign of stroke. [23:59] following your finger as you move it side to side. make sure both eyes move together. [23:59] yeah [23:59] or tell the to say something about the sky is blue in cincinatti?
