[13:46] :-) [13:46] hi [13:46] * Roy is writing his thesis and remembers writing isn't his strongest skill [15:48] write it in assembly [15:51] now thats hard :) [15:51] * Roy needs distraction, so I started reading about the m-theorie [15:52] I have to go to bed soon [15:52] ttyl, Roy [15:52] bye [15:58] MSG: [16:42] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [16:42] hi MEt [16:42] Hi [16:43] Static rebirth got into huge age of 1.. [16:44] On the 94nop? [16:44] y [16:44] * Metcalf goes to look [16:45] stone/imps don't seem to be scoring very well in general [16:46] Papers have the advantage nowadays [16:46] Someone needs to come up with more resistant imp/spiral or replacement [16:47] Optimax can help improve paper by a higher degree than other warrior types [16:47] How about having more than one spiral? [16:47] A launcher which makes lots of small spirals. [16:47] One possibility [16:48] But might be bad for end-game [16:48] a single mov 0,<1 bomb can kill a spiral. With multiple spirals it would have to hit all of them [16:49] Join: Owner joined #corewars [16:49] Owner of what? [16:49] Hi Owner [16:49] Oh soorry [16:50] Nick Change: Owner changed nick to Judodudo [16:50] Thats better [16:50] Chatzilla automatically makes me that [16:53] Do you know anything about Firewire? [16:54] Better than USB, but not as sexy [16:55] My girlfriend connected her digital video camera to her laptop via USB and transfered video to the laptop. [16:55] She said the quality wasn't very good. The guy in the computer shop said she should get a firewire port and it will transfer better quality video. [16:55] Is this true? [16:56] Only if the camera/computer supports only USB 1.1 [16:56] And if video is not stored in the camera's memory [16:56] No, they are both under a year old the should be USB 2 [16:57] It is stored on a digital tape in the camera [16:57] greetings humans! [16:57] The guy in the computer shop is talking ummm... rubbish. IMO. [16:57] Greeting bvowk [16:57] firewire is far sexier than usb [16:57] Hi Phil [16:57] the connector is nicer too, and you have a formfactor for unpowered devices.. [16:58] you can plug it in blind with far more ease than USB [16:58] bvowk: technically sexier, not company-sexier [16:58] tends to use less computrons under load than usb as well.. [16:58] Phil: how come my web page isn't listed in "The Best Core War places on the Net" :-) [17:00] Because that page hasn't been edited for many years? [17:01] last updated 07 Jan 2005 :-P [17:01] mizcu: I have a special black spot in my heart for USB.. I fucking hate it! [17:02] lol [17:02] it's better than nothing [17:02] the never ending buggy chipsets, the never ending interrupt routing issues.. the never ending piles of variations in the "same" chips.. [17:02] Umm... yeah. That's a small bug in the script which generates the page. It always says today... [17:03] ;window 2 [17:03] Ooops wrong key [17:03] USB is not even a standard.. [17:03] (or has it gotten itself one recently?) [17:03] that and the connector sucks.. keeps falling out, difficult to plug in blind, the wires are routed to multiple chips, so settings in the bios about which chip has control of which port during what phase of the moon.. [17:04] [17:04] 8 days till I come back to evolving in corewars.. [17:04] I'm hoping to win the recmath contest.. [17:04] and you cant get more that few milliamps out of it just by putting wires in ;) [17:05] yeah.. and even the "you can get 500mA for your devices" is pretty fast and loose.. [17:05] so you've got some devices that have two USB plugs, that need to be on two different USB channels, so they can be assured of that 500mA [17:05] but try telling end users how to tell the difference between channels on USB :) [17:06] http://www.recmath.org/contest/standings.php [17:07] Oh! [17:07] I thought Al had stopped doing the contests [17:07] There hadn't been one for a while. [17:09] this ones been alot of fun :) [17:19] I'm catching up with you 120 John Metcalf [17:22] Bvowk: can you submit one, and by your result calculate what the score of the best entry so far is? [17:23] met: yeah.. [17:23] he who must not be mentioned has some really good code for that.. [17:23] :-) [17:23] the limited score precision is a big limiter tho..

[20:37] MY blood pressurre is a LITTLE high [20:38] that was a pretty damn intense match [20:43] But we won, 4-2, and got through first play-off match [20:45] hrm... [20:47] nice, not healthy but nice :) [20:59] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [20:59] Hi [20:59] Roy: 3039*2^249595+1 is prime!

[21:07] hmm [21:08] still got a double scanner on the hill, but it's not that good than Nenad's one [21:08] anyway, double scanner seems to have its chances on the hill [21:13] Heh, cool idea, two of them on the hill, so it seems like its working [21:14] When fighting eachother you have 4 scanners fighting, in one nop-fight, thats unique [21:17] ugh, should clean my room [21:17] heh, yes that is. I think there is plenty of room for further opimization. I just tried miniblur variations [21:18] but maybe miniHSA could also be nice as well [21:18] maybe i should rather think it as optimizing my room [21:18] or two Zooom scanner [21:18] Two Razors...hrm, then you have a Gilette Mach 2 :) [21:18] or two OoS [21:19] lol [21:19] You can't have two origins ;-) [21:19] heh, maybe you're interested in joining the Double Scanner Club :-P [21:20] a new competition is born ;-) [21:20] No, scanners isn't my thing :( [21:20] :( [21:21] Haven't got any good warrior ideas for a long while (except the fiasco rezooming) [21:23] hmm, me too [21:33] ok, have to go now [21:33] * Fizmo waves [21:33] * Roy waves [21:33] MSG: [21:33] I'll be going too, outside!
