2008-01-02 17:55 < The359> Sprechen sie Deutsch!
2008-01-02 17:55 < AkumaNoTsubasa> Ich kann Deutsh sprechen
2008-01-02 17:56 < IceKarma> AkumaNoTsubasa, "physics", "stuff", btw
2008-01-02 17:56 < AkumaNoTsubasa> Aber Ich habe alle meine Deutsch vergessen ;)
2008-01-02 17:56 < FastLizard4|busy> The first person to tell me what's strange about #code-snippets 's topic gets a cookie
2008-01-02 17:57 < AkumaNoTsubasa> Who wanted some help in C#?
2008-01-02 17:57 * IceKarma languishes waiting for Gmail to come up.
2008-01-02 18:00 < Lycurgus> http://www.trainweb.org/theattic/Rock_Cover_62.jpg wonder why I can't find factual info on this locomotive which I used to pass on the way to school at age 6 or 7.
2008-01-02 18:06 < Debolaz2> Some person insists on adding links to illegally distributed copyrighted material to Wikipedia. How should I deal with this?
2008-01-02 18:06 < White_Cat> IceKarma I need to know your email to send you something
2008-01-02 18:06 < The359> Remove them and discuss it with the person
2008-01-02 18:06 < White_Cat> AkumaNoTsubasa me :P
2008-01-02 18:07 < Debolaz2> The359: Done, and he just reverted it.
2008-01-02 18:07 < IceKarma> White_Cat, I /msg'd it to you a while ago
2008-01-02 18:07 < Lubaf> Tomorrow, we get a lot of really really bad news.
2008-01-02 18:07 < The359> did you leave him a message?
2008-01-02 18:07 < White_Cat> ice you identified?
2008-01-02 18:07 < Debolaz2> I talked about it on the article's talk page with him.
2008-01-02 18:07 < Lubaf> And by bad news, I mean the method of delivery, not the content.
2008-01-02 18:07 < IceKarma> Yes.
2008-01-02 18:07 < The359> and what was his response?
2008-01-02 18:07 < Debolaz2> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Norton_Commander (Download links)
2008-01-02 18:07 < White_Cat> IceKarma I recieved nothing
2008-01-02 18:07 < White_Cat> try again
2008-01-02 18:08 < Lycurgus> Lubaf: from whom?
2008-01-02 18:08 < Debolaz2> To sum it up, copyright law is nonsense.
2008-01-02 18:08 < IceKarma> Debolaz2, s/copyright/IP/
2008-01-02 18:08 < The359> Did you refer him to WP:EL?
2008-01-02 18:08 < IceKarma> Debolaz2, also, "insane" or "insanity" are good choices.
2008-01-02 18:08 < Lubaf> Lycurgus: The Iowa caucuses are tomorrow, so expect some really really lame news stories.
2008-01-02 18:09 < AkumaNoTsubasa> White_Cat what do you want to know?
2008-01-02 18:09 < White_Cat> AkumaNoTsubasa I have a non-wroking chunk of code
2008-01-02 18:09 < shimgray> tomorrow? goodness, so it is
2008-01-02 18:09 < shimgray> [checks polls]
2008-01-02 18:09 < Lycurgus> oh that. It will have a hard time competing with ANTM.
2008-01-02 18:10 < White_Cat> IceKarma you should have gotten the mail
2008-01-02 18:10 < Debolaz2> The359: No, I can do that. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess he won't care, what should I do when he re-adds them?
2008-01-02 18:10 < shimgray> hmm, Obama and Clinton statistical dead heat, Edwards a point or two behind, Richardson vanishing
2008-01-02 18:11 < The359> What is the article?
2008-01-02 18:11 < White_Cat> shimgray someone needs to quantum leap in and make things right?
2008-01-02 18:11 * IceKarma finds she's not actually logged into her own Gmail and fixes.
2008-01-02 18:11 < shimgray> Huckabee-Romney ditto, then McCain-Thompson tied for second pair, then Paul-Giuliani down in the dust
2008-01-02 18:11 < White_Cat> IceKarma I'll send you a second mail for working pong code
2008-01-02 18:11 < spectie> miranda
2008-01-02 18:11 < AkumaNoTsubasa> White_Cat paste it in pv
2008-01-02 18:12 < rw_> White_Cat, there it is again ;)
2008-01-02 18:12 < Lycurgus> you'd need The Time Tunnel, Millenim, Seven Days *and* Quantum Leap for this mess.
2008-01-02 18:12 < FastLizard4|busy> Wow, that scared the rap out of me
2008-01-02 18:12 < Lycurgus> u
2008-01-02 18:12 < FastLizard4|busy> I tried to edit information on my channel that requires contact access
2008-01-02 18:12 < FastLizard4|busy> It denied me access even though I am contact
2008-01-02 18:12 < TheWeasel> Obama and Clinton tied again?
2008-01-02 18:12 < TheWeasel> Edwards so close?
2008-01-02 18:12 < Debolaz2> The359: Norton Commander, a file browser. Quite popular in the old days, had quite a few clones. The links are to downloads of this software from so called abandonware sites. While I don't morally disagree with the sites, it is obviously against wikipedia policy.
2008-01-02 18:12 < TheWeasel> Nice.
2008-01-02 18:12 < FastLizard4|busy> I forgot to ID to the channel, though
2008-01-02 18:12 < White_Cat> rw_ huh?
2008-01-02 18:13 < FastLizard4|busy> ...and that was the problem
2008-01-02 18:13 < TheWeasel> there was this poll that showed Obama far ahead
2008-01-02 18:13 < The359> ok
2008-01-02 18:13 < White_Cat> TheWeasel obama is far ahead
2008-01-02 18:13 < TheWeasel> "Obama and Clinton statistical dead heat"
2008-01-02 18:13 < Lycurgus> no he was never "far" ahead
2008-01-02 18:13 < TheWeasel> sayeth shimgray
2008-01-02 18:13 < White_Cat> I think next presient should be a obama hilary hybord
2008-01-02 18:14 < White_Cat> they are compatible too
2008-01-02 18:14 < TheWeasel> or am I quoting out of context?
2008-01-02 18:14 < White_Cat> politics is ever in context?
2008-01-02 18:14 < shimgray> I'm looking at the Iowa polls only
2008-01-02 18:14 < shimgray> http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/ia/iowa_democratic_caucus-208.html
2008-01-02 18:14 < TheWeasel> A bureaucrat with lofty but vacuous rhetoric?
2008-01-02 18:14 < TheWeasel> no thanks
2008-01-02 18:14 * White_Cat watches TheWeasel decline
2008-01-02 18:15 < TheWeasel> I meant the Des Moines Register poll yonder
2008-01-02 18:15 < shimgray> Edwards is a pretty consistent third there
2008-01-02 18:15 < TheWeasel> said 32-25
2008-01-02 18:15 < shimgray> yeah, that's one of 'em, the largest lead shown
2008-01-02 18:15 < Lycurgus> 32-25 obama-clinton?
2008-01-02 18:15 < TheWeasel> yea
2008-01-02 18:15 < shimgray> but note CNN got 31-33 over the same timeframe!
2008-01-02 18:16 < White_Cat> Obama-Clinton=Edwards
2008-01-02 18:16 < TheWeasel> eh, their methodologies are in the dumps in timeframes like this one
2008-01-02 18:16 < Lycurgus> well he is the strongest candidate in a set of weak ass spokespersons for the leftwing of the bourgeois elite
2008-01-02 18:17 < shimgray> over in Noo Hampsha, to use a silly voice, Clinton is clearly leading but it's not a very large lead now
2008-01-02 18:17 < Debolaz2> The359: I put a reference to the policy on his talk page.
2008-01-02 18:17 * TheWeasel still thinks Edwards is the only winning type. Although I've heard that his rhetoric "sounds too much like the 1930s"
2008-01-02 18:17 < White_Cat> clinton will fall
2008-01-02 18:17 < shimgray> again, Edwards clear third
2008-01-02 18:17 < White_Cat> as in a ford impression
2008-01-02 18:17 < TheWeasel> NH will be moved by the IA results I guess
2008-01-02 18:18 < The359> ok, Debolaz2
2008-01-02 18:18 < The359> I made an edit to the article
2008-01-02 18:18 < The359> and added a bit to the talk page
2008-01-02 18:18 < shimgray> Mmm... well, maybe. If it's an upset for one side or the other, yeah, but if it's a narrow tie?
2008-01-02 18:18 < White_Cat> IceKarma any luck?
2008-01-02 18:18 < Lycurgus> Edwards is an oily ambulance chaser. His simpy expressions remind me of shyster Mr. Rogers.
2008-01-02 18:18 < White_Cat> AkumaNoTsubasa
2008-01-02 18:18 < White_Cat> I can email you the code
2008-01-02 18:18 < White_Cat> you need the solution and stuff
2008-01-02 18:18 * TheWeasel is pro-lawyers
2008-01-02 18:18 < TheWeasel> obviously
2008-01-02 18:18 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-01-02 18:18 < White_Cat> I hate lawyers
2008-01-02 18:19 * TheWeasel is a lawyer
2008-01-02 18:19 < TheWeasel> and I don't do no one harm
2008-01-02 18:19 < White_Cat> how can I cause senseless violenece when lawyers are out there
2008-01-02 18:19 * White_Cat stabs shimgray
2008-01-02 18:19 < TheWeasel> you can more easily, actually
2008-01-02 18:19 < White_Cat> I see
2008-01-02 18:19 * White_Cat stabs shimgray senselessly
2008-01-02 18:19 < TheWeasel> with a good attorney, you will spend less time in the slammer
2008-01-02 18:20 < TheWeasel> or use the Chewbacca defence or something
2008-01-02 18:20 * FastLizard4|busy wants a netsplit
2008-01-02 18:20 < The359> Debolaz2, apparently NeoThe1 has added you to his "hate" list on his user page
2008-01-02 18:20 < White_Cat> TheWeasel I dont need attorneys
2008-01-02 18:20 < White_Cat> I'll just bribe the judge
2008-01-02 18:21 < TheWeasel> [[Gecekondu]] is the way to get a building permit sans lawyer
2008-01-02 18:21 < The359> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NeoThe1 Would anyone else agree that "A Scintillating Side-Note of Minor Interest with Regard to Mentally-Challenged Persons Born out of Wedlock with Ridiculous Usernames Who Have Taken Upon Themselves to Make My Life Difficult" can be viewed as a user attack?
2008-01-02 18:21 < FastLizard4|busy> The359: Can't NeoThe1's userpage be speedy-deleted because it is an attack page?
2008-01-02 18:21 < The359> not the entire page
2008-01-02 18:22 < TheWeasel> The only lawyers most people appreciate are in Pakistan
2008-01-02 18:22 < White_Cat> yes
2008-01-02 18:22 < White_Cat> because they take cops attention
2008-01-02 18:22 < White_Cat> in the meanwhile people loot :P
2008-01-02 18:23 < TheWeasel> lawyers are hated because AGF has not arrived in the wider populace.
2008-01-02 18:23 < The359> Anyone else think I should cut it out and leave him a note>
2008-01-02 18:23 < The359> ?
2008-01-02 18:23 < White_Cat> TheWeasel no
2008-01-02 18:23 < White_Cat> because lawyers are too good looking
2008-01-02 18:23 * TheWeasel is terribly looking
2008-01-02 18:24 < White_Cat> The359 I say indef block
2008-01-02 18:24 < White_Cat> TheWeasel perhaps
2008-01-02 18:24 < The359> really?
2008-01-02 18:24 < FastLizard4|busy> AGF can burn in hell
2008-01-02 18:24 < White_Cat> but just sit in the judges chair :)
2008-01-02 18:24 < TheWeasel> only in the South can your given name be Johnny and your nickname John.
2008-01-02 18:24 < TheWeasel> (on an unrelated note)
2008-01-02 18:25 < Sfan00> PING St47
2008-01-02 18:28 * TheWeasel reads some terrible interviews
2008-01-02 18:30 * TheWeasel reads the Quad City Times
2008-01-02 18:31 < TheWeasel> ah damn, same old
2008-01-02 18:32 < White_Cat> any c# fans?
2008-01-02 18:32 < TheWeasel> about Hillary hauling coffee and donuts
2008-01-02 18:32 < TheWeasel> in freezing weather
2008-01-02 18:33 < White_Cat> TheWeasel Hillary is a donut and clinton a sausage
2008-01-02 18:33 < TheWeasel> the Presidential sausage has gotten too much exposition.
2008-01-02 18:34 < White_Cat> sausage + donut
2008-01-02 18:34 < White_Cat> = chelsey?
2008-01-02 18:34 < TheWeasel> both Bush's and more so Clinton's
2008-01-02 18:34 < White_Cat> bush isnt a sausage
2008-01-02 18:34 < White_Cat> he is more of a dick
2008-01-02 18:34 < TheWeasel> oh never mind
2008-01-02 18:34 < TheWeasel> I meant the Mission Accomplished thing
2008-01-02 18:35 < TheWeasel> the flightsuit
2008-01-02 18:35 < White_Cat> TheWeasel he isnt the first president to use USAF like a private politica campaign group
2008-01-02 18:35 < TheWeasel> oh, never mind
2008-01-02 18:35 < White_Cat> TheWeasel think of Rosevelt
2008-01-02 18:36 < TheWeasel> it's an unsettling thing in a democracy (best run by civilians)
2008-01-02 18:37 < TheWeasel> but it's too many to forgo
2008-01-02 18:38 < TheWeasel> *manly
2008-01-02 18:40 < juxo> mmm. food and rammstein's amerika http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w9EksAo5hY
2008-01-02 18:41 < uberpenguin> rammstein is silly
2008-01-02 18:42 < juxo> but it's a 2004 hit ;)
2008-01-02 18:42 < TheWeasel> "...urge you to seek your dreams in peace"
2008-01-02 18:42 < TheWeasel> o.o
2008-01-02 18:42 < TheWeasel> (Obama on Kenya)
2008-01-02 18:42 < TheWeasel> lay off the pathos, mate
2008-01-02 18:43 < juxo> politics is weird
2008-01-02 18:44 < TheWeasel> Wonder if he also urges his alarm clock to leave his dreams in peace
2008-01-02 18:48 * TheWeasel likes CBS content
2008-01-02 18:51 < White_Cat> TheWeasel send hilary to Kenya
2008-01-02 18:51 < White_Cat> We're going to see Hilary, only in kenya
2008-01-02 18:51 < TheWeasel> Hillarity ensues.
2008-01-02 18:52 < White_Cat> "*'''Keep''' Hmm, must be that time of the year again where you become an annoying jerk. You proposed the same thing with this templae last year and it got rejected. Your arguements are childesh at best."
2008-01-02 18:52 < White_Cat> is that an acceptable keep rationale?
2008-01-02 18:54 < TheWeasel> it would have been more civil if they'd said "Keep, for the same reason it's been kept once before"
2008-01-02 18:54 < TheWeasel> not sure if ad-hominem opinions don't count
2008-01-02 18:55 < White_Cat> those conditions are no longer applicable
2008-01-02 18:55 < TheWeasel> anyway, interesting mountainside, that Iowa Caucasus
2008-01-02 18:56 < TheWeasel> Clintonoryan vs. Edwardidze vs. Obamarranov
2008-01-02 18:57 < TheWeasel> the main players in this year's Caucasus
2008-01-02 18:58 < TheWeasel> argh, yall are no fun any more
2008-01-02 18:59 < shimgray> TheWeasel: have you seen the amazing clout that Obama's name carries in Kenya?
2008-01-02 18:59 < shimgray> it's terrifying
2008-01-02 18:59 < TheWeasel> nah
2008-01-02 18:59 < shimgray> he's this junior US senator, and there are candidates for election over there who fight to claim they're related to him
2008-01-02 18:59 < TheWeasel> maybe his appeal helps a bit then
2008-01-02 19:01 < TheWeasel> I am TheWeasel, and I approve the massage
2008-01-02 19:02 < shimgray> http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/26/world/africa/26obama.html is the kind of reaction he got when he visited in 2006
2008-01-02 19:03 < TheWeasel> "warm" seems bit of an understatement there
2008-01-02 19:03 < shimgray> http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9804E0D6173EF930A1575BC0A9629C8B63 is a 2004 article, before he was even *in* the Senate
2008-01-02 19:04 < shimgray> "The Kenyan press, rapturous after Mr. Obama's keynote address at the Democratic convention, speculates on a future presidential bid. Parents are naming their newborns Obama ... Bar patrons in Nairobi reportedly ask for ''Obamas'' when ordering the barley beer called ''Senator,'' while tribal elders are planning to slaughter bulls for a celebratory feast after the election"
2008-01-02 19:04 < shimgray> wah!
2008-01-02 19:04 < shimgray> what the hell happened there? how did it go bold?
2008-01-02 19:05 < Aqwis> ?
2008-01-02 19:05 < shimgray> for some reason, a load of that text displayed as bold for me. dunno why
2008-01-02 19:06 < shimgray> http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/28/world/africa/28kenya.html?hp is the guy who was staking his election campaign on being related
2008-01-02 19:06 < TheWeasel> "places like Europe and Brazil ..."
2008-01-02 19:06 < TheWeasel> o.o
2008-01-02 19:07 < TheWeasel> Obamania?
2008-01-02 19:09 < TheWeasel> August 2004... I was just out of school then
2008-01-02 19:09 < TheWeasel> long time
2008-01-02 19:10 < TheWeasel> "He praised Kenya’s lack of major ethnic conflict and its history of clean elections."
2008-01-02 19:10 < TheWeasel> Tempi passati
2008-01-02 19:10 < TheWeasel> eh, damn, the article itself calls it Obamania
2008-01-02 19:10 < TheWeasel> I swear I thought I made it up when I wrote it though
2008-01-02 19:12 < White_Cat> IceKarma?
2008-01-02 19:13 < Mahlzahn__> goot evening
2008-01-02 19:14 < Mahlzahn__> c'mon people cheer me up. I'm peeved atm :)
2008-01-02 19:15 * The359 stabs Mahlzahn__
2008-01-02 19:15 < TheWeasel> "The bystanders were angry in part because Mr. Rajula was not giving out money freely, as is usually done by parliamentary aspirants during campaigns."
2008-01-02 19:15 < TheWeasel> that's a lovely idea, might just work in Iowa
2008-01-02 19:16 < Mahlzahn__> it works in Ohio and Florida I think.
2008-01-02 19:16 < TheWeasel> but at least you bribe officials there, not voters
2008-01-02 19:16 < TheWeasel> at least not any ol' voter
2008-01-02 19:16 < Mahlzahn__> oh, right. fine distinction.
2008-01-02 19:17 < TheWeasel> but just generating the *expectation* is wonderful
2008-01-02 19:17 < Mahlzahn__> hehe
2008-01-02 19:17 < Mahlzahn__> was this in India then?
2008-01-02 19:17 < TheWeasel> no, Kenya
2008-01-02 19:17 < TheWeasel> but two years ago
2008-01-02 19:17 < Mahlzahn__> same ol' same ol'
2008-01-02 19:19 < Mahlzahn__> "thank you for coming" "here is your coming gift" Better than a moist handshake. I like it.
2008-01-02 19:21 < shimgray> pretty traditional over here
2008-01-02 19:22 < shimgray> took until the Reform Act in the 1830s to get rid of it, and even then it wasn't killed until the 1860s or so
2008-01-02 19:22 * TheWeasel assigns shimgray a rotten borough
2008-01-02 19:23 < shimgray> oh, the rottens you didn't need to bribe anyone, you just *told* them how to vote
2008-01-02 19:24 < shimgray> it was the counties you needed to bribe early and often for
2008-01-02 19:24 < TheWeasel> "So wird's gemacht:" !
2008-01-02 19:24 < FastLizard4|busy> Crap.
2008-01-02 19:24 < FastLizard4|busy> I just remembered I am going in tommorrow to get all four of my wisdom teeth pulled
2008-01-02 19:24 < Mahlzahn__> I would not want to be in your shoes.
2008-01-02 19:25 * FastLizard4|busy expects to be on IRC tommorrow, however
2008-01-02 19:25 < TheWeasel> brave
2008-01-02 19:25 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-01-02 19:25 < Mahlzahn__> 20 years ago a dentist told me I wouldn't get wisdom teeth, and his mantra apparently worked.
2008-01-02 19:26 * TheWeasel , having watched the Watergate movie with Redford and Hoffman, has no idea why G. Gordon Liddy is still allowed to do anything at all in public
2008-01-02 19:27 < TheWeasel> I mean, his freedom, alright, but why would anyone listen
2008-01-02 19:28 * FastLizard4|busy has to write a freaking math essay
2008-01-02 19:29 < TheWeasel> do it today, you aint gonna feel like it tomorrow
2008-01-02 19:29 < FastLizard4|busy> i know
2008-01-02 19:29 < FastLizard4|busy> THat's what I am doing
2008-01-02 19:34 < Scottc> Anyone here know what happened to somethingawful.com?
2008-01-02 19:35 < FastLizard4|busy> no
2008-01-02 19:35 < geniice> Scottc hmm maybe

2008-01-02 19:36 < geniice> shopuld get you to the forums
2008-01-02 19:37 < The359> Something Awful happened
2008-01-02 19:37 < geniice> hmm is 4chan down as well by any chance?
2008-01-02 19:38 < Cyrius> Scott5114: domain's still registered to Richard Kyanka, Something Awful LLC
2008-01-02 19:38 < Cyrius> just some sort of technical problem
2008-01-02 19:38 < Cyrius> unless he flipped out
2008-01-02 19:38 < Scott5114> I'm sorry?
2008-01-02 19:38 < Cyrius> goddamnit
2008-01-02 19:38 < Scott5114> lol, wrong Scott
2008-01-02 19:39 < Cyrius> IRC should prevent people from having more than the first 3 characters the same or something
2008-01-02 19:39 < Scott5114> Maybe I should change my first name to something nobody else on Wikipedia has
2008-01-02 19:39 < Cyrius> at this point, impossible
2008-01-02 19:39 < Scott5114> drat
2008-01-02 19:40 < Scott5114> not even things like "Archibald"?
2008-01-02 19:40 < Scott5114> or "Ichabod"?
2008-01-02 19:41 < Cyrius> probably at least one of anything plausible
2008-01-02 19:42 < Cyrius> I mean, you could make something up
2008-01-02 19:42 < Cyrius> but I doubt anything appearing in any sort of "not stupid names" list would be unique
2008-01-02 19:43 < Scott5114> I suppose one could use a name like ¡¿32°?! and it'd be unique but untypable
2008-01-02 19:43 < Scott5114> unless you have a Compose key or something similar on your OS
2008-01-02 19:43 < Mahlzahn__> The end of the world is nigh. In Germany, "Wikipedia" is once again a less popular google search term than "sex". Thats terrible! http://www.google.com/trends?q=wikipedia%2C+sex&geo=DE&date=all&sort=0
2008-01-02 19:44 < Scott5114> or memorized the ALT+ codes on Windows
2008-01-02 19:44 < FastLizard4|busy> Scott5114: Slartibartfast (you'd know what it is if you read or saw the movie The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
2008-01-02 19:44 * kmccoy has autohotkey set up to do those symbols.
2008-01-02 19:44 < Scott5114> I'm sure someone has the name Slartibartfast already. :P

2008-01-02 19:46 < TheWeasel> heh, the Romney press conference with the "here's the attack ad I'm not gonna show" is funny
2008-01-02 19:47 < Scott5114> TheWeasel: I believe that's Huckabee
2008-01-02 19:47 < TheWeasel> kind of like someone saying "Me, I'm not going to stoop so low as to insult that asshole"
2008-01-02 19:47 < TheWeasel> yea?
2008-01-02 19:47 < TheWeasel> Alright
2008-01-02 19:47 * kmccoy tries to figure out why Discovery Channel is producing a Mythbusters ripoff.
2008-01-02 19:48 < FastLizard4|busy> kmccoy: Smash Lab?
2008-01-02 19:48 < The359> they assume people will watch it?
2008-01-02 19:48 < kmccoy> Yeah. I just saw an ad for it.
2008-01-02 19:48 < shimgray> there's a lot of impressively dodgy tactics going on at this stage
2008-01-02 19:48 < The359> are they testing myths though?
2008-01-02 19:48 < The359> Or just blowing shit up?
2008-01-02 19:48 < shimgray> makes you wonder how low they'll stoop by the end of it all
2008-01-02 19:48 < FastLizard4|busy> The359: The latter
2008-01-02 19:48 < TheWeasel> "If you stand with me for one night, I will stand up for you every day as your president," the former first lady said.
2008-01-02 19:48 < TheWeasel> Would that be a one-night stand?
2008-01-02 19:49 < kmccoy> Well, probably just blowing things up. The promos definitely give a mythbusters feel, though.
2008-01-02 19:49 < The359> I did notice they seem to wear lab coats, kmccoy
2008-01-02 19:49 < Random832> hey
2008-01-02 19:49 < Random832> who's in charge of the picture of the day
2008-01-02 19:49 * The359 points
2008-01-02 19:49 < The359> THAT guy
2008-01-02 19:49 < shimgray> selection or actually putting it up?
2008-01-02 19:50 < TheWeasel> The Man.
2008-01-02 19:50 < The359> why, is it biased, Random832?
2008-01-02 19:50 < FastLizard4|busy> Big Brother is The Man
2008-01-02 19:50 < shimgray> selection's the usual ad-hoc committee, I think
2008-01-02 19:51 * FastLizard4|busy deletes an arbcom member
2008-01-02 19:51 * FastLizard4|busy ...then deletes 10 arbcom clerks
2008-01-02 19:51 < Random832> The359: I'm just wondering if they thought about the appearance
2008-01-02 19:51 < FastLizard4|busy> That should save some disc space
2008-01-02 19:51 < The359> what do you mean?
2008-01-02 19:51 < NotACow> DELETE ARBCOM
2008-01-02 19:52 < Random832> shimgray: selection - i'm wondering whose brilliant idea it was to put a candidate's picture up the day before Iowa
2008-01-02 19:52 * FastLizard4|busy deletes the entire Arbitration Committee
2008-01-02 19:52 < The359> it does seem like bad timing
2008-01-02 19:52 < The359> although there is a notice attached, Random
2008-01-02 19:52 * FastLizard4|busy then deletes the rest of the arbcom clerks
2008-01-02 19:52 < Random832> yeah, yeah
2008-01-02 19:52 < Random832> but STILL
2008-01-02 19:52 < The359> stating no backing of Edwards
2008-01-02 19:52 < FastLizard4|busy> Happy, NotACow?
2008-01-02 19:52 < Random832> it couldn't wait until after the election?
2008-01-02 19:53 < Random832> or, at least until after Iowa?
2008-01-02 19:53 < shimgray> Random832: ...ah
2008-01-02 19:53 < kmccoy> That's a stupid idea.
2008-01-02 19:53 < shimgray> yes. um.
2008-01-02 19:53 * TheWeasel sees that FP is a vinery in Catalonia
2008-01-02 19:53 < shimgray> pull it, I say.
2008-01-02 19:53 < TheWeasel> am I wrong?
2008-01-02 19:53 < shimgray> the notice just makes it worse
2008-01-02 19:53 < FastLizard4|busy> ↓.01∟1▼3♀§534☻1☻0.)2.♦ <-- I dare you to type that into command prompt along with format C:
2008-01-02 19:53 < Random832> I just want to know who's in charge of it
2008-01-02 19:54 * Random832 thinks the notice may violate WP:NDT
2008-01-02 19:54 < FastLizard4|busy> When is the annoying donation banner going down the drain?
2008-01-02 19:54 < The359> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Picture_of_the_day#January_3.2C_2008
2008-01-02 19:55 < The359> someone has already objected to the picture
2008-01-02 19:55 < Random832> of course someone has
2008-01-02 19:55 < TheWeasel> Someone is Durova
2008-01-02 19:55 < FastLizard4|busy> Yay, Duvora!
2008-01-02 19:55 < Random832> (and of course it's Durova, but I think she's right this time)
2008-01-02 19:56 < FastLizard4|busy> Yeah, put pictures up after the Iowa Caucuses
2008-01-02 19:56 < TheWeasel> yea, that's really inappropriate
2008-01-02 19:56 < TheWeasel> can't have a messianic Johnny before the vote
2008-01-02 19:56 < shimgray> it's the "Note: Wikipedia does not endorse Edwards or any other candidate running for political office." that gets me
2008-01-02 19:56 < shimgray> we should take it down just to avoid having to have that clumsy notice!
2008-01-02 19:56 * The359 goes to hunt down the nomination for the picture
2008-01-02 19:56 < TheWeasel> Better yet, if the Iowa results are unclear, suspend indefinitely
2008-01-02 19:57 < FastLizard4|busy> Admins, go take it down
2008-01-02 19:57 < TheWeasel> Is something with my cache wrong
2008-01-02 19:57 < SolidVapor_> they will na do it!
2008-01-02 19:57 * FastLizard4|busy snipes at SolidVapor_
2008-01-02 19:57 < TheWeasel> or is the picture still the Catalan wine thing right now?
2008-01-02 19:57 < FastLizard4|busy> Caching problem
2008-01-02 19:58 < FastLizard4|busy> It is Edwards
2008-01-02 19:58 < TheWeasel> Heh, now THIS will be all over the news.
2008-01-02 19:58 < Random832> The359: I'm looking at Edwards right now
2008-01-02 19:58 < FastLizard4|busy> Wait until The Register gets ahold of this one
2008-01-02 19:58 < NotACow> beep beep
2008-01-02 19:58 < shimgray> I'd do it, but I've just posted my dislike so it wouldn't be appropriate.
2008-01-02 19:58 < TheWeasel> Yep.
2008-01-02 19:58 < FastLizard4|busy> Admin, do it and claim NPOV violation
2008-01-02 19:58 < The359> I'm just trying to see if the nominators intentionally chose to use it today or what
2008-01-02 19:58 < TheWeasel> needs urgent pulling, or you'd get a swarm of Obama supporters wanting your head.
2008-01-02 19:59 < Random832> what needs to be edited to pull it
2008-01-02 19:59 < geniice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:POTD_protected/2008-01-03
2008-01-02 19:59 < Random832> I was uncomfortable with it when I first saw it, and now that I remember that Iowa is tomorrow/today...
2008-01-02 19:59 < Random832> what can it be replaced with
2008-01-02 20:00 < geniice> already been done
2008-01-02 20:00 < Random832> someone already did it
2008-01-02 20:00 < TheWeasel> looks good
2008-01-02 20:00 < TheWeasel> yea, cache is all new suddenly
2008-01-02 20:00 < TheWeasel> :-)
2008-01-02 20:00 < geniice> also want to hit
2008-01-02 20:00 < TheWeasel> Big Ben for me
2008-01-02 20:00 < geniice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:POTD/2008-01-03
2008-01-02 20:00 < The359> yeah, now it is Big Ben
2008-01-02 20:00 < TheWeasel> it's been there for an hour?
2008-01-02 20:00 < TheWeasel> can be a BFD
2008-01-02 20:00 < shimgray> ah, last year's one, that'll do
2008-01-02 20:00 < TheWeasel> for bloggers, at least
2008-01-02 20:01 < TheWeasel> and bored journalists
2008-01-02 20:01 < FastLizard4|busy> WHat's the problem, the WP:POTD and the template are different
2008-01-02 20:01 < TheWeasel> let's thank the lord that the upcoming things are sorted by party
2008-01-02 20:01 < geniice> other option would be to bump tomorrows
2008-01-02 20:01 < The359> ok
2008-01-02 20:01 < TheWeasel> or Conservapedia would have a field day
2008-01-02 20:01 < shimgray> protected
2008-01-02 20:01 < The359> looking at the nomination
2008-01-02 20:01 < The359> no one seems to have implied it should have been used today
2008-01-02 20:01 < The359> so I guess it was just by chance
2008-01-02 20:02 < FastLizard4|busy> OK, now that's better
2008-01-02 20:02 < shimgray> The359: We do cock up sometimes on these things - we managed to run a Turkey-related FA on Armenian Genocide Day once
2008-01-02 20:02 < shimgray> which got... some interesting letters
2008-01-02 20:02 < The359> heh
2008-01-02 20:02 < FastLizard4|busy> shimgray: Wow
2008-01-02 20:02 < The359> lovely
2008-01-02 20:02 < FastLizard4|busy> heh
2008-01-02 20:02 < FastLizard4|busy> I can see the disclaimer now:
2008-01-02 20:03 < Random832> The359: who's in charge of actually scheduling them, though?
2008-01-02 20:03 < shimgray> (actually, we ran it the day before or after, I forget which ... but because we run on UTC, the US saw it on the day)
2008-01-02 20:03 < The359> I assume they are simply put in order of when they are approved, Random
2008-01-02 20:03 < shimgray> I wrote a couple of quite apologetic "sorry, entirely accidental" emails that day
2008-01-02 20:03 < Luna-San> Wasn't [[Yasser Arafat]] featured on the last day of Hannukah, this year?
2008-01-02 20:03 < The359> Usually only holidays and stuff have FAs or POTDs specifically placed on that date
2008-01-02 20:04 < TheWeasel> Luna-San: I vaguely remember some anti-Jewish theme on a Jewish holiday
2008-01-02 20:04 < The359> the POTD template doesn't seem quite right, there seems to be a lot of empty space on the bottom
2008-01-02 20:04 < Random832> I thought that they were chosen by someone. could have sworn Raul was in charge of the TFA; so I assumed there was someone responsible for POTD too
2008-01-02 20:05 < JohnReaves|Away> w had Hitler up on the first day of Hanukkah
2008-01-02 20:05 < JohnReaves|Away> *we
2008-01-02 20:05 < TheWeasel> yea
2008-01-02 20:05 < FastLizard4|busy> Wow
2008-01-02 20:05 < FastLizard4|busy> JohnReaves|Away: What letters did that bring in?
2008-01-02 20:05 * TheWeasel is happy not to be clubbed to death by Obama fans, frankly, and could hardly care less about non-fitting templates
2008-01-02 20:05 < JohnReaves|Away> One OTRS complaint I think
2008-01-02 20:06 < FastLizard4|busy> JohnReaves|Away: Can you give an excerpt?
2008-01-02 20:06 < TheWeasel> I'll go to bed
2008-01-02 20:06 < TheWeasel> night
2008-01-02 20:06 < FastLizard4|busy> 'night TheWeasel
2008-01-02 20:06 < JohnReaves|Away> no, I didn' t see it
2008-01-02 20:06 < JohnReaves|Away> not that I'd be allowed to do that (I think)
2008-01-02 20:07 < FastLizard4|busy> JohnReaves|Away: It would have definitely been... interesting
2008-01-02 20:07 < Random832> speaking of John Edwards
2008-01-02 20:07 < Random832> are we aware of http://blog.johnedwards.com/story/2007/12/22/25141/991 ?
2008-01-02 20:07 < JohnReaves|Away> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2007-12-06&action=history
2008-01-02 20:07 < shimgray> The359: Quite a lot of FAs are selected on a daily basis, but usually for trivial reasons
2008-01-02 20:08 < FastLizard4|busy> Random832: Nice
2008-01-02 20:08 < shimgray> (the guy who wrote them or pushed them through wants a specific day - maybe an anniversary, a personal reason, whatever)
2008-01-02 20:10 < geniice> Random832 rpobably we have much the same issues with ron paul
2008-01-02 20:10 < Random832> geniice: there's a FP for ron paul?
2008-01-02 20:10 < geniice> no
2008-01-02 20:10 * FastLizard4|busy wonders if he has been unsilenced over at #wikia yet, and will probably check in a short while
2008-01-02 20:14 * FastLizard4|busy ...and will now find out
2008-01-02 20:14 < The359> that too, shimgray
2008-01-02 20:14 < The359> but I meant that most FAs just end up in the order they are approved
2008-01-02 20:14 < The359> if no one wants a specific date
2008-01-02 20:14 < shimgray> yeah
2008-01-02 20:14 < FastLizard4> yay!
2008-01-02 20:15 < shimgray> last time I looked, which was I confess a while ago, a bit over half had someone pushing for a date
2008-01-02 20:15 < The359> but looking at the John Edwards photo nomination, I saw no one suggesting it be used today or something
2008-01-02 20:15 < Random832> looks like just a screwup
2008-01-02 20:16 < Random832> no-one thought about the implications of the specific date
2008-01-02 20:16 < The359> yeah, coincidence
2008-01-02 20:16 < Random832> only complaint I can see at all is about it being political generally
2008-01-02 20:16 < FastLizard4> Quite a coincidence
2008-01-02 20:17 * Big-Brother is watching you
2008-01-02 20:19 < mavhk> I used to say that to my younger brother all the time
2008-01-02 20:19 < Big-Brother> mavhk: Do you get the reference?
2008-01-02 20:20 < mavhk> something to do with apple macs vs ibm, right?
2008-01-02 20:21 < Cyrius> ...
2008-01-02 20:21 < mavhk> and bladerunner
2008-01-02 20:21 < Random832> mavhk: please tell me you're not serious
2008-01-02 20:22 < Big-Brother> mavhk: Read 1984 by George Orwell, or go to the Wikipedia page [[Big Brother (Nineteen Eight-Four)]]
2008-01-02 20:22 < mavhk> I'm just out referencing the referencee
2008-01-02 20:22 < Big-Brother> bah
2008-01-02 20:22 < Big-Brother> [[Big Brother (Nineteen Eighty-Four)]]
2008-01-02 20:22 < Messedrocker> macintosh: it used to be awesome, then it sucked, then it became even more awesome
2008-01-02 20:23 < Mahlzahn__> heh. taking the good with the bad. thats true love.
2008-01-02 20:24 < mavhk> if I wanted my computer to look pretty I'd set the Mona Lisa as a backdrop
2008-01-02 20:24 < Messedrocker> mavhk: macintoshes aren't only pretty, they're also highly functional
2008-01-02 20:24 < Messedrocker> my macbook is the fastest computer i've ever used
2008-01-02 20:24 < Mahlzahn__> that would only make your desktop look pretty, and who looks at his desktop?
2008-01-02 20:24 < mavhk> people with no ram left to open apps, because they used it all on a desktop picture
2008-01-02 20:25 < mavhk> Messedrocker: have you used any computers that were made later, but cost the same?
2008-01-02 20:26 < Messedrocker> mavhk, this computer is less powerful than my old desktop which ran windows xp, and yet this computer still functions more smoothly
2008-01-02 20:26 < Messedrocker> much more.
2008-01-02 20:27 < mavhk> smoothly?
2008-01-02 20:27 < Sceptre> I need something to fucking vandalise now
2008-01-02 20:27 < Sceptre> I am so fucking pissed off
2008-01-02 20:27 < mavhk> conservapedia?
2008-01-02 20:28 < Cyrius> encyclopedia dramatica?
2008-01-02 20:28 < Big-Brother> Sceptre: Uncyclopedia
2008-01-02 20:28 < Big-Brother> Add useful stuf
2008-01-02 20:28 < Messedrocker> Sceptre, the non-encyclopedia part of Wikipedia, which I confess to having vandalized on very few occasions
2008-01-02 20:28 < Mahlzahn__> mavhk: its a strange thing working on a new mac. It just feels ... powerful.
2008-01-02 20:28 < Sceptre> Cyius: that's the reason why I'm pissed off
2008-01-02 20:28 < Mahlzahn__> Messedrocker: like policy pages?
2008-01-02 20:28 < Messedrocker> not policy pages
2008-01-02 20:28 < Cyrius> nah, don't vandalize Wikipedia, those guys have no sense of humor
2008-01-02 20:28 < Messedrocker> bullshit pages
2008-01-02 20:28 * Random832 redirects [[Waterboarding]] to [[Surfing]]
2008-01-02 20:28 < Messedrocker> like, user pages of people you don't like, that kinda thing
2008-01-02 20:28 < mavhk> Mahlzahn__: I won't use macs until they stop deleting my files
2008-01-02 20:29 < Messedrocker> mavhk, I don't know what the hell is wrong with your macintoshes, but mine never deletes my stuff
2008-01-02 20:29 * Mahlzahn__ smacks Random832 with a waterboard
2008-01-02 20:29 < Sceptre> Messedrocker
2008-01-02 20:29 < Sceptre> done
2008-01-02 20:29 < Sceptre> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Blue0ctane&redirect=no
2008-01-02 20:29 * The359 waterboards Mahlzahn__ with smack
2008-01-02 20:29 < mavhk> when you try to merge dirs it deletes the contents of the target dir
2008-01-02 20:29 < mavhk> on purpose
2008-01-02 20:29 < Cyrius> it does warn you first
2008-01-02 20:30 < Random832> mavhk: that's because you're not merging dirs, you're moving one dir to a location with another dir with the same name - there is no "merge dir" command
2008-01-02 20:30 < mavhk> true, but I assumed it was just the standard warning, not a "hi, we're retarded and are going to delete your work, WARNING WARNING!!!!"
2008-01-02 20:30 < Cyrius> what "standard warning"?
2008-01-02 20:30 < Mahlzahn__> Sceptre: It should have been User:SlimVirgin, no? ;)
2008-01-02 20:30 < Random832> um, the "merge dir" semantics when you drag one dir into a location with another dir, however useful they might be, are NOT intuitive.
2008-01-02 20:30 < mavhk> the "this might overwrite files with the same name"
2008-01-02 20:30 < Sceptre> Mahlzahn__: no
2008-01-02 20:30 < Sceptre> I actually like SV
2008-01-02 20:31 < Mahlzahn__> I know, I'm just kidding.
2008-01-02 20:31 < Mahlzahn__> SV is ok.
2008-01-02 20:31 * Cyrius hates everyone
2008-01-02 20:31 < mavhk> Random832: if I put 2 folders with the same name in a filing cabinet I'd expect their contents to get mixed up, for not someone to take out the earlier folder and burn all its contents
2008-01-02 20:31 * Big-Brother watches Cyrius
2008-01-02 20:32 < mavhk> also it means there's no way to merge dirs except manually
2008-01-02 20:32 < Random832> mavhk: no, you wouldn't. you'd expect two folders.
2008-01-02 20:32 < mavhk> yes, in which the contents would get mixed up
2008-01-02 20:32 < Sceptre> someone block that fucking retard now
2008-01-02 20:32 < Random832> no, in which there would be two folders. each with their own contents.
2008-01-02 20:32 < mavhk> because someone putting a file into one would just get one at random
2008-01-02 20:32 < Random832> right next to each other
2008-01-02 20:33 < Random832> those wouldn't be the existing contents though
2008-01-02 20:33 < mavhk> if you take a file out of one it might not go back in the same one
2008-01-02 20:33 < Random832> yeah, but by then the analogy has already broken down
2008-01-02 20:34 < mavhk> still, it's more obvious than someone burning your other folder
2008-01-02 20:34 < Random832> if you took one folder out of the cabinet and put it elsewhere, you'd only get half the combined contents of both
2008-01-02 20:34 < Random832> if you put two files with the same name in a folder, it doesn't tack the contents of one onto the end of the other
2008-01-02 20:35 < mavhk> anyway, once it stops deleting my work on purpose I'll consider looking at them again
2008-01-02 20:35 * Big-Brother watches you always
2008-01-02 20:36 < mavhk> but writing 7 CD ROM products that had to work on mac os was too annoying
2008-01-02 20:36 < Random832> Big-Brother: who watches Big-Brother?
2008-01-02 20:36 < mavhk> funny buying CD ROMs with .trash folders hidden on them
2008-01-02 20:36 < Random832> (the answer is, of course, Ceiling_Cat)
2008-01-02 20:37 < mavhk> Random832: retards who couldn't find a good tv show if they were given a tv with 1 channel that only showed good tv, and no remote control
2008-01-02 20:37 < mavhk> and told which way to face
2008-01-02 20:50 * FastLizard4 is watching Mission: Impossible
2008-01-02 20:50 < Lubaf> Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Movie: Raping your childhood memories and otherwise good songs since 2007.
2008-01-02 20:51 < FastLizard4> X-D
2008-01-02 20:51 < danborneser> xD
2008-01-02 20:52 < The359> Wait, those songs were good?
2008-01-02 20:53 < FastLizard4> ...
2008-01-02 20:54 < uberpenguin> my childhood memories suck anyway
2008-01-02 20:57 < Lubaf> The359: Well, Bad Day wasn't terrible, at least.
2008-01-02 20:59 < Lubaf> uberpenguin: True.
2008-01-02 20:59 < Lubaf> Anyway.
2008-01-02 21:00 < Lubaf> Anybody got any other terrible movies they'd like to grouse about?
2008-01-02 21:00 < The359> what was that?
2008-01-02 21:00 < FastLizard4> ?
2008-01-02 21:00 < Pilotguy_aw> something.
2008-01-02 21:00 < FastLizard4> What's going on here?
2008-01-02 21:00 < Lubaf> The359: Torbanning.
2008-01-02 21:00 < The359> ah
2008-01-02 21:00 < FastLizard4> hmm...
2008-01-02 21:01 < uberpenguin> well, curse of the golden flower was disappointing
2008-01-02 21:02 < uberpenguin> not zhang yimou's best
2008-01-02 21:17 < Mark_Ryan> I feel it is my duty to officially declare this channel dead.
2008-01-02 21:17 * kmccoy kills Mark_Ryan, just to make things uniform.
2008-01-02 21:17 < Messedrocker> Mark Ryan, as King-Sovereign of Wikiland, I override you.
2008-01-02 21:18 < Mark_Ryan> Messedrocker: medically unfit to rule?
2008-01-02 21:18 < Messedrocker> c'est?
2008-01-02 21:18 < Mark_Ryan> parlez vous francais?
2008-01-02 21:18 < Messedrocker> ah, ouais!
2008-01-02 21:18 < Mark_Ryan> merci, et bonne soir.
2008-01-02 21:18 < Messedrocker> bonne soir, mark!
2008-01-02 21:19 < Mark_Ryan> actually, it's morning here.
2008-01-02 21:19 < Mark_Ryan> it's meant to get above 40C (100F+) today, and our gas pipeline has shut down so that they can't generate enough electricity for the entire grid. So we're expecting blackouts. how ludicrous.
2008-01-02 21:22 < Messedrocker> where can i find a list of general topics?
2008-01-02 21:23 < Mark_Ryan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents
2008-01-02 21:23 < Mike_H> Mark_Ryan: The low tonight here is going to be around 20

2008-01-02 21:23 < Mike_H> or -7, -8 C

2008-01-02 21:24 < Messedrocker> which unexpectedly connected to IRC
2008-01-02 21:24 < Mike_H> The359: THIS IS TOO COLD FOR FLORIDA
2008-01-02 21:24 < Mike_H> I was blessed to have been born and raised in a lovely climate
2008-01-02 21:24 < Mike_H> unlike you
2008-01-02 21:25 < The359> I'm going to be walking around in a fucking t-shirt and shorts when I'm in Florida
2008-01-02 21:25 < Messedrocker> Mike H, 20 degrees in Florida!!?!?
2008-01-02 21:25 < Mike_H> Messedrocker: Weather Channel says
2008-01-02 21:25 < Mike_H> A very cold air mass has enveloped the eastern half of the country, including Florida. Temperatures may dip below freezing over most of the Sunshine State tonight with readings as cold as the teens over the northern third of the state, including much of the panhandle. Sub-freezing temperatures may even reach extreme South Florida including the Miami metro area.
2008-01-02 21:26 < Mike_H> another bulletin says:
2008-01-02 21:26 < Mike_H> A cold night looms for Florida where some locations may see their lowest temperatures in five years.
2008-01-02 21:30 < kmccoy> Holy crap, Mike_H, you're just never happy with the weather. :P
2008-01-02 21:31 < Cyrius> =D
2008-01-02 21:31 < Mike_H> kmccoy: It's the coldest night I've had in Tampa!
2008-01-02 21:31 < Cyrius> one of the few things he and I have in common
2008-01-02 21:43 * Schroeder goes back to putting together the warmup book for his band kids
2008-01-02 21:44 < sarahc> http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/5829/tvsport1ar6.jpg <-- My first console. I cannot find any information on this machine on the Web/Wikipedia, like the year it was made etc. Do you know anything related to it?
2008-01-02 21:44 < Cyrius> never seen it before
2008-01-02 21:45 < sarahc> Must be from early 1970s.
