20:18 <jasong> Hey, if you guys could have an avatar that was lifelike and literally talked, though possibly with a different voice and/or accent, what kind of avatar would it be. I'd want Michael J. Fox from the Back to the Future movies
20:18 <jasong> So, what I'm saying is you'd talk into the computer and your mannerisms and inflection would be copied onto the avatar
20:19 <jasong> The fun thing is this is more about computing power than bandwidth, since words and inflection could equate to literally sub-kilobyte speeds since it's being altered
20:20 <jasong> when it gets to it's destination
20:20 <jasong> And actually, it could revolutionize cell phone pricing if the person on the other end had the "fingerprints" to your actual voice
20:21 <jasong> &monologue
20:21 <Romulus> jasong: Your current monologue is at least 6 lines long.
20:25 <PovAddict> you and your weird ideas
20:26 *** zerok has joined #boinc
20:27 <zerok> if a task has an estimated time to completion of 30 days, is it worth it? or it'll take so long that it'll hit the deadline before it even completes?
20:31 <PovAddict> depends on what the deadline is...
20:31 <zerok> climateprediction
20:31 <PovAddict> and on how long your comouter is running
20:32 <PovAddict> but obviously, if it was never 'worth it', the project wouldn't have ever got any work done :P
20:32 <PovAddict> obviously some people do make it in time for the deadline
20:33 <zerok> I once attached to monte carlo, but after I saw a task having an estimated completion time of thousands of hours and I gave up
20:33 <PovAddict> the ETA shouldnt scare you
20:34 <PovAddict> what matters is the relation between estimated completion time and deadline
20:34 <PovAddict> projects with long tasks usually have appropriately long deadlines :)
20:35 <zerok> oh, didn't notice it before
20:35 <zerok> report deadline is 1 year
20:35 <PovAddict> :)
20:35 <zerok> does it download tasks according to cpu?
20:36 <PovAddict> what do you mean?
20:36 <zerok> faster cpu, more complex tasks. slower cpu, less complex tasks?
20:37 *** gamerchick02 has quit IRC
20:37 *** MacG has quit IRC
20:38 <PovAddict> the server may refuse to give you tasks (or some kind of tasks) if it thinks you won't finish in time, based on deadline, task length (adjusted for your CPU speed), resource share to that project, and how much of the day the computer is running
20:39 <PovAddict> or if task needs more RAM than you have :)
20:39 *** zerok has quit IRC
20:43 <jasong> POV, they're only weird until someone does something awesome, like discover electricity, or makes the first transistor radio :p Besides, which is more valuable, more hard drive space or a compression method that means the space isn't needed?
20:45 <jasong> I mean, BluRay is ass when you know the history behind DVDs, that's just one example

21:07 <jasong> did you guys read that article in Wired(I think that's the magazine, not sure, maybe CPU) about sparse arrays?
21:08 <jasong> They basically took 1/10th of the data normally associated with a brain scan and generated a picture that was almost exactly like the picture they would have gotten with a full scan
21:09 <jasong> the example in the article used a picture of Obama, so they probably should've simply deleted the picture, lol, but the example explained it pretty well, either way

23:16 <wdsmia> you need to find a new slap
23:23 <jasong> Quick question, what is Xorg, and is it a bad idea to kill it to get my core back? Whatever it's doing, I'm guessing it doesn't actually need half a core to do it
23:23 <Tank_Master> never heard of it
23:24 <jasong> yeah, but aren't you a Windows loser?
23:24 <jasong> I mean user
23:25 <jasong> Windows, it's being kept afloat by ignorance gaming companies
23:25 <jasong> oops, and game companies
23:27 <Tank_Master> and by companies who dont want to spend more on internal support for linux
23:35 <jasong> well, if they'd make more games for Linux, than people wouldn't have to spend quite as much on gaming machines and put it towards more games
23:35 <jasong> btw, I should've put a wink after windows loser, sorry
