[00:23:00]

BMOC:

what causes a show i tried to record to say RIP and not record?

[00:23:00]

BMOC:

it even lists them in my recordings, but they are not there

[00:24:00]

rjune (~rjune@12-215-150-141.client.mchsi.com) has joined #mythtv-users

[00:24:00]

BMOC:

man, it just didn't record anything at all. it says it recorded, but you can't hit enter on the recording, nor are any files there

[00:25:00]

GeckoFiend:

BMOC crappy catpure drivers/hardware

[00:25:00]

kormoc:

I had it happen a few times

[00:25:00]

BMOC:

well, i recorded something last night

[00:25:00]

kormoc:

I restarted the backend and it never happened again

[00:26:00]

BMOC:

Couldn't read file: rbuf://127.0.0.1:6543/mnt/store//ringbuf1.nuv

[00:26:00]

BMOC:

err, i think i had deleted that:)

[00:27:00]

GeckoFiend:

rbuf://127.0.0.1:6543/mnt/store//ringbuf1.nuv is the live tv ring buffer and has nothign to do with recordings

[00:27:00]

GeckoFiend:

and you sure as hell shouldn;t be deletign files out from under myth :-p

[00:27:00]

BMOC:

well, i can't watch livetv now

[00:27:00]

BMOC:

hmm, since the upgrade

[00:27:00]

BMOC:

of some myth items

[00:28:00]

mchou:

GeckoFiend: I found an interesting stat though: If you watch CSI chances are your are more likely to be republican :)

[00:28:00]

kormoc:

BMOC, restart the backend...

[00:28:00]

BMOC:

i did, a few times

[00:29:00]

xris:

mchou: maybe that explains why I don't like that show.

[00:29:00]

mchou:

xris: hehe

[00:29:00]

Beirdo:

hah

[00:29:00]

mchou:

GeckoFiend: chances are too if you watch mtv you're more likely to be democrat :)

[00:29:00]

bomba:

hah

[00:30:00]

Beirdo:

I watch that show and am not republican, although I might be if I had the misfortune of being American

[00:30:00]

mchou:

I must be screwed up since I dont watch MTV but I do CSI and I'm democrat :)

[00:30:00]

Beirdo:

but you're in California. everyone's screwed up there

[00:30:00]

BMOC:

ah, i see

[00:31:00]

BMOC:

it's from upgrading the module for ivtv

[00:31:00]

** xris doesn't watch either, and is neither democrat nor republican. **

[00:31:00]

Beirdo:

pinko :)

[00:31:00]

BMOC:

xris: aren'tyou a socialist?

[00:31:00]

mchou:

xris: lol, that explains it :)

[00:31:00]

** SarahEmm watches CSI but not MYV.. **

[00:32:00]

xris:

socialist tendencies... but officially I'd be Green if I could actually put that on my registration card in WA.

[00:32:00]

** Beirdo considered voting for the communist party to really throw away the vote **

[00:32:00]

BMOC:

hmm, i wonder why i have to manually load the modules

[00:32:00]

Beirdo:

the conservatives weren't gonna win, so why not?

[00:32:00]

** kormoc watches CSI, doesn't watch MTV, Green politicaly, and geek by nature. **

[00:32:00]

** kormoc is in trouble. **

[00:33:00]

Beirdo:

hehe

[00:33:00]

Beirdo:

you'll be a pinko soon

[00:33:00]

** xris vouches for the "geek" part — kormoc seems to own every t-shirt thinkgeek sells. **

[00:33:00]

** kormoc laughs **

[00:33:00]

Beirdo:

hehe

[00:34:00]

Beirdo:

I don't think you can live in the PNW without becoming a tree-hugger

[00:34:00]

mchou:

Beirdo: nah, look at all them ex-loggers :)

[00:34:00]

Beirdo:

they don't count

[00:34:00]

mchou:

Beirdo: lol. They sure think they do :)

[00:35:00]

kormoc:

but I lived in the heart land of the amish and was raised Mennonite, and yet I was a tree hugger there too...

[00:35:00]

mchou:

kormoc: you from penn dutch country?

[00:35:00]

Beirdo:

well, a certain amount of tree-hugging is good

[00:36:00]

Beirdo:

some people take it a wee bit far though

[00:36:00]

kormoc:

yuppies

[00:36:00]

** kormoc was born and rased in Lancaster County, PA **

[00:36:00]

Beirdo:

[00:37:00]

BMOC:

ooo, the tuner module is nto working

[00:37:00]

Beirdo:

let's save one part of the planet by being dumbasses and potentially causing disasters

[00:37:00]

BMOC:

guess i'll have to go back to ivtv 3.04x

[00:37:00]

Beirdo:

and even worse are the Sea Shepherd idiots

[00:37:00]

mchou:

Beirdo: hmm?? what are you referring to?

[00:37:00]

BMOC:

Beirdo: i thought you were a member of greenpeace?

[00:37:00]

Beirdo:

let's save a couple dolphins by trying to kill fishermen

[00:37:00]

BMOC:

you don't chase boats?:)

[00:38:00]

xris:

Beirdo is a conservative.

[00:38:00]

BMOC:

the DoD actually considers greenpeace a terrorist organization.

[00:38:00]

xris:

he just happens to be a smart one.

[00:38:00]

Beirdo:

mchou: the times they've blocked outflow pipes from factories to stop pollution... and almost blew up the plant.

[00:38:00]

xris:

BMOC: that's because many of them ARE.

[00:38:00]

BMOC:

Beirdo: what's up with the beating baby seals in canada

[00:38:00]

BMOC:

that's not even allowed here.

[00:39:00]

Beirdo:

that has nothing to do with anything

[00:39:00]

** kormoc raises a eyebrow **

[00:39:00]

BMOC:

it sure does

[00:39:00]

Beirdo:

once Americans stop wanting the fur coats made with their pelts, that will stop

[00:39:00]

rjune:

BMOC: and greenpeace isn't?

[00:39:00]

kormoc:

so some random people club seals in the west side of canada, so you'll blow up a factory in texas?

[00:39:00]

kormoc:

that'll get them to stop!

[00:39:00]

Beirdo:

and it's in the east of Canada

[00:39:00]

Beirdo:

:)

[00:39:00]

BMOC:

kormoc it's legal for people to beat baby seals to death in canada, it's not legal to blow up a factory in texas

[00:39:00]

Beirdo:

north-east to be precise

[00:39:00]

rjune:

Beirdo: American's aren't the only ones that want fur coats

[00:39:00]

Beirdo:

BMOC: it is NOT legal

[00:40:00]

Beirdo:

how about you know what you are talking about first

[00:40:00]

BMOC:

Beirdo: whaaaaaaaaaaat?

[00:40:00]

BMOC:

it sure is, at least in certain circumstances

[00:40:00]

Beirdo:

no it isn't

[00:40:00]

Beirdo:

that was outlawed decades ago

[00:40:00]

BMOC:

i think it may be seasonal, or occasional, or something, but i know the govt has sanctioned it

[00:40:00]

rjune:

not even defending yourself against those vicious baby seals?

[00:40:00]

kormoc:

there might be population controls put into place, but I'm damn sure they wouldn't involved a club.

[00:40:00]

Beirdo:

in the 80s, retard

[00:41:00]

BMOC:

kormoc they did a story here a little while ago showing recent video

[00:41:00]

BMOC:

and it was clubs

[00:41:00]

BMOC:

Stop the killing of seals in Canada Petition

[00:41:00]

Beirdo:

there are sanctioned hunts, but not with clubs, not that it matters anyways

[00:41:00]

[00:41:00]

BMOC:

[00:41:00]

kormoc:

so a LA news company knows more about canadan politics then the canadans?

[00:41:00]

BMOC:

s

[00:41:00]

rjune:

how did this become the topic?

[00:41:00]

BMOC:

kormoc LA?

[00:41:00]

Beirdo:

population control can be done by any means, what difference does it make in the end?

[00:42:00]

mchou:

haha

[00:42:00]

Beirdo:

it's not common practice, and it's not legal or condoned to beat seals to deat

[00:42:00]

mchou:

Beirdo: hmm, you sound like a nazi :)

[00:42:00]

Beirdo:

death...

[00:42:00]

kormoc:

BMOC, your host is LA, usually stands for Los Angelus or however it's speleld

[00:42:00]

Beirdo:

our cruelty towards animals laws are stricter than the US'

[00:42:00]

BMOC:

actually louisiana, but it's national news:)

[00:42:00]

Beirdo:

but if you are gonna shoot the seal anyways...

[00:43:00]

Beirdo:

in the end, what IS the difference?

[00:43:00]

Beirdo:

getting caught on film is the only difference

[00:43:00]

BMOC:

it's just more seen as inconsistent

[00:43:00]

GeckoFiend:

BMOC yes becuase if it's on the internet it MUST be true

[00:43:00]

BMOC:

GeckoFiend: it's called a joke

[00:43:00]

** GeckoFiend visits http://www.petsorfood.com and makes his order **

[00:43:00]

BMOC:

and every major news source has an internet site

[00:44:00]

Beirdo:

if baby seals weren't cute, nobody'd give a shit

[00:44:00]

BMOC:

haha

[00:44:00]

rjune:

Beirdo: inddeed we eat baby cows, and that's ok

[00:44:00]

Beirdo:

kormoc:

Mmm... Lamb...

kormoc:

Baby Fish...

[00:45:00]

kormoc:

Mmm... Cavaior...

[00:45:00]

Beirdo:

in the end, there's no real difference.

[00:45:00]

kormoc:

Mmm... Roe...

[00:45:00]

kormoc:

Young Chickens, factory farmed.

[00:45:00]

[00:47:00]

GeckoFiend:

kormoc heh I remember when I was a teenager i convinced one of my mothers cowrokers they grew bonless chickens in special cages so that folks could get bonless chicken breasts

kormoc:

and when every theater does it? where do you go? home?

[01:05:00]

$8 instead of $10?

[01:07:00]

kormoc:

honestly, I'm not too proud to sit though some comericals if I'm that early to the movie.

[01:07:00]

mchou, so what does the theaters lose if they alianate people who don't go anyway?

[01:07:00]

indeed

[01:08:00]

kormoc: easy. If theatres werent such asses fewer pp would invest in home theatres :)

really, between showing commercials, the nasty ass popcorn smell, the punks who yap throughout the movie. why go to a movie theatre at all?
