01:18:11 <Sgeo> I want a fun way to wreck Windows XP
01:20:55 <Sgeo> deltree doesn't exist in WinXP, and I tried an equivalent and it was somewhat boring
01:21:13 <Bike> take the case and just smash it up with a hammer
01:21:15 <Bike> just fucking smash it
01:21:23 <pikhq> P. sure it's a VM.
01:21:31 <Bike> who cares smash it
01:21:53 <Bike> right in the fucking drive motherfucker
01:22:10 <pikhq> Boot two or three instances of the VM using the same filesystem image.
01:22:25 <oerjan> i sense a market for a vm with a smash button hth
01:22:27 <pikhq> So they mutate the FS and each other one is unaware of it.
01:22:39 <Sgeo> I think that would require taking the filesystem image and making it take up real space on my HD
01:22:44 <Sgeo> At least in VirtualBox

03:36:23 <tswett> doesthiswork: what's the two-stones-float quote from?
03:36:46 <tswett> I just think it's so *weird* how "Frosted Flakes" isn't a trademark.
03:36:53 <tswett> Anyone can make a cereal and call it Frosted Flakes.
03:37:08 <tswett> You can't make a hat and call it Frosted Flakes, because Kellogg's owns the trademark on Frosted Flakes brand hats.
03:37:22 <tswett> But not for Frosted Flakes cereal; that's public domain.
03:37:48 <Bike> is wearing cereal as a hat trademarked?
03:37:52 <tswett> There's a trademark for "Kellogg's Frosted Flakes". But if you look it up, it specifically says that "no claim is made to the exclusive right to use 'Frosted Flakes'".
03:38:19 <tswett> Bike: I doubt it, but it could be!
03:38:38 <tswett> You could make and sell little figurines wearing cereal as a hat, and then file a trademark for wearing cereal as a hat.
03:41:03 -!- Bike_ has joined.
03:41:28 <tswett> I'm actually kind of surprised that Kellogg's doesn't have a trademark for something like "the words 'Frosted Flakes' in white on a blue background".
03:43:50 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
03:47:58 <tswett> Something I really like about trademark law: in order for a company to retain the exclusive rights to a trademark even when it's being used generically (e.g. "photoshopped"), the company has to "visibly and actively seem to attempt" to get people to stop using it generically.
03:48:10 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bike.
03:48:14 <tswett> It doesn't matter whether they succeed or not. All that's required is that they look like they're trying.
03:48:35 <Bike> what's the point of maintaining a genericized trademark
03:49:13 <tswett> I guess the word "Photoshop" is still a completely valid trademark; it's still illegal for anyone else to make software called Photoshop.
