| zrafa | wpwrak: the guy who posted the coreduino thing (which is an really old blog post) did not reply. From pdf layouts to make the PCBs and other pictures: could I know the exact size of the components right? | 13:06 |
| zrafa | hw people : ^ :) | 13:09 |
| C-Keen | what do you need? | 13:10 |
| wpwrak | yeah, you could figure it out. in any case, you'll have to make your own design, so you get to pick what you want. but then, you just asked a few hours ago. maybe he's not even awake yet :) | 13:12 |
| zrafa | wpwrak: a couple of days ago I asked | 13:24 |
| zrafa | but yes, I will wait of course :) I asked him the list of components as well. | 13:26 |
| wpwrak | (days) ah, i see. well, maybe he's on vacation :) | 13:32 |
| whitequark | hrmpf | 22:33 |
| whitequark | our local SOPA-like idiots have just lost a case. they accused a family pair of 38 trln RUR in damages for seeding a few torrents with films | 22:33 |
| whitequark | yes, thirty eight trillions. | 22:33 |
| wpwrak | so that's like USD 200 ? :) | 22:35 |
| whitequark | that's like 80% of our GDP | 22:36 |
| wpwrak | and is "RUR" the same as RUB ? | 22:36 |
| whitequark | yes | 22:36 |
| whitequark | russian rubles | 22:36 |
| wpwrak | (80% of GPB) nice try ;-) | 22:36 |
| larsc | hm still 1.26 trillion dollars | 22:37 |
| whitequark | convert to roubles | 22:37 |
| whitequark | it'd be 44.smth | 22:37 |
| whitequark | google can do that as well | 22:37 |
| whitequark | so mind-boggingly absurd | 22:37 |
| whitequark | and they were serious | 22:37 |
| whitequark | just like the last time when they sued Deep Purple for singing Deep Purple songs | 22:38 |
| whitequark | I dunno, are they aliens from some parallel universe? | 22:38 |
| wpwrak | well, the judges will appreciate it if the claims are obviously absurd. makes their job a lot easier :) | 22:39 |
| whitequark | they kind of won the deep purple case | 22:40 |
| whitequark | at least they got their money | 22:40 |
| wpwrak | they should consider fining them for contempt of the court :) | 22:40 |
| whitequark | DP has compensated that | 22:40 |
| wpwrak | (DP) also 80 terarubles ? :) | 22:41 |
| whitequark | something like $40k | 22:41 |
| whitequark | that's an "noncommercial" organization which should "defend authors' rights" and "collect the money for them", "leaving 5% for them to work" | 22:41 |
| whitequark | you got the idea | 22:42 |
| whitequark | authors got nothing btw. | 22:42 |
| whitequark | another bright ideas they had: | 22:42 |
| whitequark | 1. suing a register office for playing a traditional wedding march | 22:42 |
| whitequark | 2. suing a war veteran orchestra for playing their songs | 22:43 |
| whitequark | 3. getting 1% from all storage devices, because these can be used for storing copyrighted material | 22:43 |
| whitequark | (incl. phones, USB flashes, optical drives and media, etc, etc.) | 22:43 |
| whitequark | I think they have (or will) lose 1 and 2 | 22:43 |
| whitequark | but they definitely won 2 | 22:43 |
| whitequark | *3 | 22:43 |
| wpwrak | they have something similar in germany. if you visit the place, wear a t-shirt that says "I LOVE GEMA". let's see how long until they rediscover the ancient tradition of public stoning ;-) | 22:44 |
| whitequark | what's GEMA? | 22:44 |
| wpwrak | something like your "non-commercial" band of thieves | 22:45 |
| whitequark | so, each country has this kind of crap | 22:46 |
| larsc | i think here in germany it is even more than 1% gema tax on storage devices | 22:47 |
| whitequark | larsc: can you give any sources? Google doesn't seem to know much | 22:48 |
| larsc | whitequark: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauschalabgabe | 22:49 |
| whitequark | what. | 22:50 |
| whitequark | are they crazy? | 22:50 |
| whitequark | > mit Touchscreen und 8 GB Speicherkapazität oder mehr: 36,00¬ | 22:50 |
| larsc | yeah, just though the same | 22:50 |
| larsc | that's like 10% | 22:51 |
| whitequark | and I think it's bad here. wow. I don't even have words to describe it. | 22:52 |
| larsc | ah. the english version of that page lists some more countrys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy | 22:55 |
| whitequark | yeah I see | 22:55 |
| whitequark | it lists Russia too | 22:56 |
