00:07.08``Erikwasn't aware that bu_avail_cpus() talked windows O.o shoulda looked before I spent all the time researching various ways to do it (though some argue that the way we do it is wrong, there's an 'affinity' bitmask that will tell you if the process is permitted to utilize the specific cpu)
00:08.49CIA-50BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41196 10/brlcad/trunk/src/fb/ (bw-fb.c cell-fb.c): cleanup, return from funcs that return, deshadow

18:29.08starseekerhah, cool:  http://www.nist.gov/pml/wmd/20101026_si.cfm
18:30.45``Erikbut coldfusion? really?
18:31.11starseekerhuh?
18:32.40``Erikcfm
18:32.47``Erikit's the web framework software they're using
18:33.24``Erik<-- watching the live coverage of the rally to restore sanity O.o
18:33.46starseekerah
18:34.08starseekerhave the rightwing nutjobs shown up with guns to exterminate the non-believers yet?
18:35.17``Erikno, and the place is PACKED
18:35.45``Erikabout twice the number that showed up at becks 'restore honor' thing
18:36.07starseekeroh, don't worry - Fox News will be able to make it seem like beck had 3x the number there now :-P
18:36.13``Erikheh, of course
18:36.18``Erikbut stewart headed that off
18:36.24``Erikby walking 150k to 10m
18:36.28``Erik:D
19:50.45``Erikah, the redefinition of the gram, yeh, saw that yesterday :)
19:51.53starseekershame on slashdot for linking to fox news instead of the nist article
19:52.45``Erikum
19:52.48``Erikit IS slashdot
19:53.03starseekerheh, yeah true
19:53.09``Erikkinda famous for 'don't read the link, don't read the comments, but google the keywords to the headline, something may be going on, possibly"
19:55.03``Erik(fox news did a bit on the issue? "ditch the shoddy kg definition the so-called 'scientists' came up with, use the one GOD defined six thousands years ago! in another news, liberal socialist panda bears attack decent people at some zoo..."...)
19:56.25``Erikwonders if his macro changes in configure.ac have broken automake 1.6 O.o we may have a complete incompatibility brewing :)
20:00.55louipceh it's more than 8 yrs old though
20:01.51louipcthey can use the brlcad from 8 yrs ago too hehe
20:01.52``Erikyes, I'd be happy to drop support and make our makefiles much cleaner with the 1.7+ stuff... I'm not the one bitching about supporting ancient deprecated versions :D
20:02.39``Erikit's only the people working from svn and making the dists that have to worry, once the .tar.gz is made, no auto* is needed unless you change something
20:03.42``Erikos10.4 is automake 1.6, os10.5 is automake 1.10
20:04.05``Erikthe issue would be dropping support for tiger as a primary dev platform without upgrades :)
20:04.14louipcall the more reason to not worry about supporting the old
20:04.29``Erik<-- ponders going through and doing the per-target cflags everywhere we SHOULD, but don't to support 1.6
20:05.21louipcpeople don't update their software between os10.4 and 10.5?
20:08.47``Erikum, the Xcode distribution provides the package and it's done more enterprise style
20:09.16``Erikand to get the most recent xcode, you need the most recent osX... tell me, does redhat 5 ship with automake 1.11?
20:10.47``Erik(enterprise style being big honkin' schedule mega-updates... quarterly 'everything' instead of bits and pieces constantly)
20:11.46starseeker``Erik: If I succeed with CMake, it'll all be moot :-P
20:13.34louipcno idea
21:04.07``ErikI think I mentioned that in my email to -dev for tom
21:04.15``Eriknow hurry up and succeed.
21:04.17``Erik:D
21:04.26``Erikalso; the 'normal' linux machine at work does not have cmake...
21:04.55``Erikso you also have a fairly ugly political battle ahead unless you luck into the right person
