2008-01-06 01:56 < arcimboldo_> * F :is unknown mode char to me
2008-01-06 01:56 < FastLizard4> ?
2008-01-06 01:56 < Mahlzahn> where do you see that?
2008-01-06 01:56 < arcimboldo_> That was the reply to /mode FastLizard4
2008-01-06 01:56 < troubled> Mahlzahn: no. if there were a ctcp that could say crash my client, +C wouldnt stop it since i would still see the ctcp. +C just stops any data from returning to whomever ctcp'd me. services being the exception it seems
2008-01-06 01:56 < FastLizard4> arcimboldo_: You can't view my modes
2008-01-06 01:57 < FastLizard4> troubled: /ping is not the same as /ctcp <uname> ping
2008-01-06 01:57 < troubled> isnt it? hmm
2008-01-06 01:57 < troubled> always thought ping was just an alias for ctcp ping
2008-01-06 01:57 < FastLizard4> No
2008-01-06 01:58 < FastLizard4> Actually, lets find out

2008-01-06 01:58 < troubled> once normal, once ctcp i guess
2008-01-06 01:58 < FastLizard4> troubled: Go ahead and -C
2008-01-06 01:58 < troubled> do it while im +C
2008-01-06 01:58 < FastLizard4> I just did
2008-01-06 01:58 < arcimboldo_> You need to be a channel operator to do that
2008-01-06 01:58 < FastLizard4> Go ahead and -C
2008-01-06 01:58 < FastLizard4> arcimboldo_: You can't set other people's umodes
2008-01-06 01:58 < troubled> arcimboldo_: not to ping me
2008-01-06 01:59 < FastLizard4> troubled: Are you -C?
2008-01-06 01:59 < troubled> FastLizard4: we are testing pings while +C
2008-01-06 01:59 < FastLizard4> Yeah
2008-01-06 01:59 < FastLizard4> I got blank from you
2008-01-06 01:59 < FastLizard4> -C so I can confirm
2008-01-06 01:59 < troubled> try a ctcp ping now
2008-01-06 01:59 < FastLizard4> <blank>
2008-01-06 02:00 < troubled> cant be, i ddint see it
2008-01-06 02:00 < FastLizard4> no ctcp or ping return
2008-01-06 02:00 < FastLizard4> troubled: Go ahead an ping and ctcp me
2008-01-06 02:00 < troubled> are you +C or -C?
2008-01-06 02:00 < FastLizard4> and report the results
2008-01-06 02:00 < FastLizard4> I am -C
2008-01-06 02:00 < FastLizard4> My umode is +ew
2008-01-06 02:00 < troubled> cause if you are +C your request wont make it to me
2008-01-06 02:00 < FastLizard4> =-= User mode for FastLizard4 is now +ew
2008-01-06 02:02 < FastLizard4> troubled: I await a ping request, both ctcp and normal
2008-01-06 02:02 < FastLizard4> I am still +ew
2008-01-06 02:02 < Mahlzahn> Ping reply from FastLizard4 in 0.52 seconds.
2008-01-06 02:02 < FastLizard4> Mahlzahn: Go ahead and ping me...
2008-01-06 02:03 < FastLizard4> now!
2008-01-06 02:03 < Mahlzahn> no reply
2008-01-06 02:03 < FastLizard4> Try again now
2008-01-06 02:03 < troubled> FastLizard4: hmm, guess it doesnt show pings while +C
2008-01-06 02:03 < Mahlzahn> Ping reply from FastLizard4 in 0.81 seconds.
2008-01-06 02:03 < arcimboldo_> 0.80 seconds
2008-01-06 02:03 < FastLizard4> Mahlzahn: Are you using |/ping| or |/ctcp FastLizard4 ping|?
2008-01-06 02:03 < Mahlzahn> normal /ping
2008-01-06 02:04 < FastLizard4> hmm
2008-01-06 02:04 < FastLizard4> +C does indeed block pings
2008-01-06 02:04 < LuciferTiger> i wish we could add another w to the modes
2008-01-06 02:04 < Mahlzahn> I think the two are identical
2008-01-06 02:04 < LuciferTiger> =-= User mode for LuciferTiger is now +eww
2008-01-06 02:04 < arcimboldo_> Ping-Antwort von FastLizard4: ? Sekunde(n)
2008-01-06 02:04 < amidaniel> I don't suppose there are any lawyers / law students / people who know a lot about US motor vehicle codes in here who would like to give me some advice about a speeding ticket? :)
2008-01-06 02:04 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: Depends
2008-01-06 02:04 < amidaniel> Upon?
2008-01-06 02:05 < LuciferTiger> amidaniel: dont get one.
2008-01-06 02:05 < Mahlzahn> amidaniel: yes. Move to Canada
2008-01-06 02:05 < amidaniel> LuciferTiger: Thanks :)
2008-01-06 02:05 < LuciferTiger> amidaniel: in case you think you are going to get one anyways, speed as fast as you can. you might just get away.
2008-01-06 02:05 < LuciferTiger> not for long though
2008-01-06 02:05 < amidaniel> LuciferTiger: Lolz :)
2008-01-06 02:05 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: Fight it if you think there is a chance
2008-01-06 02:06 < LuciferTiger> on a more serious note... go to court
2008-01-06 02:06 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: /Were/ you speeding?
2008-01-06 02:06 < amidaniel> Well, the problem is I don't know if I _can_ fight it
2008-01-06 02:06 < LuciferTiger> AND.... reschedule the date that u get
2008-01-06 02:06 < FastLizard4> The question if /were/ you speeding?
2008-01-06 02:06 < FastLizard4> s/if/is
2008-01-06 02:06 < Mahlzahn> you can always fight it. Camera broken etc, etc.
2008-01-06 02:06 < amidaniel> I checked the checkbox that says "I acknowledge ... that a violation has been committed" and to my understanding that's a plea of guilt that can't be revoked
2008-01-06 02:06 < LuciferTiger> good job mister
2008-01-06 02:06 < FastLizard4> Well, if it really did happen, you should admit it, they may let you off easier
2008-01-06 02:07 < amidaniel> But as I now have some time to think about it, the ticket's bullshit, and I can get off .. if I can get to court
2008-01-06 02:07 < Mahlzahn> you can revise your statement I'm sure.
2008-01-06 02:07 < amidaniel> The guy comes over and says he'll give me a 50 in a 40 as opposed to a 55 in a 40 if I checked that checkbox
2008-01-06 02:07 < LuciferTiger> ooooo
2008-01-06 02:07 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: nice...
2008-01-06 02:07 < Mahlzahn> oooh! coercion!
2008-01-06 02:07 < amidaniel> Turns out there's no difference in fine / points for 10 over than there are for 15 over
2008-01-06 02:07 < AdamBishop> there was a reference desk question about avoiding a speeding ticket. The guy moved to a different state in the end.
2008-01-06 02:07 < LuciferTiger> yeah there are
2008-01-06 02:07 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: There you go, claim foul play
2008-01-06 02:08 < amidaniel> FastLizard4: It seems like quite a reasonable objection to me, but I don't know how the fuck to contest it at this point
2008-01-06 02:08 * FastLizard4 knows he is not being very serious
2008-01-06 02:08 < amidaniel> Which brings me to my question :)
2008-01-06 02:08 < arcimboldo_> That's the usual legal bargain that makes you wonder whether the "admissions" are true or tactical ...
2008-01-06 02:08 < LuciferTiger> oh yeah, my sis moved to a different state and kinda got a clean slate
2008-01-06 02:08 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: I would just pay it out, and be more careful in the future
2008-01-06 02:09 < LuciferTiger> where did u get the ticket? what state?
2008-01-06 02:09 < amidaniel> FastLizard4: No, the fucker pissed me off. And I don't believe in paying bullshit fines
2008-01-06 02:09 < amidaniel> LuciferTiger: New Mexico
2008-01-06 02:09 < FastLizard4> Oh, amidaniel: I don't know if this has been reported or not, but, Vandal Proof constantly reloads the same list of recent changes for a period of time, then a new list. Ideas?
2008-01-06 02:10 < LuciferTiger> ok. if u were in SC you would know what a bullshit fine is. the cops there are damn strict.
2008-01-06 02:10 < FastLizard4> ...and in that time, I would have gone through the list about 10 times
2008-01-06 02:10 < arcimboldo_> Write to Bill Richardson and tell him that you will stop campaigning for him otherwise ...
2008-01-06 02:10 * Mike_H pets amidaniel
2008-01-06 02:10 < amidaniel> FastLizard4: IE caching issue, poorly written software. Solution: It's open source. Fix it :)
2008-01-06 02:10 < FastLizard4> ...
2008-01-06 02:10 * Mike_H pets FastLizard4
2008-01-06 02:10 < The359> well that fixed that
2008-01-06 02:10 < The359> it was the right button on my mouse that was broken
2008-01-06 02:10 < FastLizard4> I don't know any programming languages other than TI-BASIC, some basic HTML and XML, Visual Basic, and Action Script
2008-01-06 02:10 < amidaniel> So anyone have any idea about how to even start griping about this or is it hopeless?
2008-01-06 02:10 < The359> Dug out an old PS/2 mouse
2008-01-06 02:11 < FastLizard4> PS/2 is da bomb!
2008-01-06 02:11 * FastLizard4 still uses a PS/2 roller ball mouse
2008-01-06 02:11 < troubled> FastLizard4: it appears its the channel ctcps that I must be thinking of for +C blocking reply but still showing
2008-01-06 02:11 < The359> that's what this is
2008-01-06 02:11 < Mahlzahn> The359: didn't I say it was the button? ;.)
2008-01-06 02:11 < troubled> FastLizard4: tested thoroughly on a test net
2008-01-06 02:11 < The359> yeah
2008-01-06 02:11 < The359> I figured it out when I went into Mouse Properties
2008-01-06 02:11 < The359> There's an option to swap the buttons
2008-01-06 02:11 < The359> I left clicked and it opened the pop up menu, right clicked and got nothing
2008-01-06 02:11 < The359> so I knew it was the button
2008-01-06 02:12 < Mahlzahn> kimono
2008-01-06 02:12 < arcimboldo_> Swapping mouse buttons is a great idea for annoying co-workers.
2008-01-06 02:12 < The359> yeah, it was a bit annoying to turn it back off
2008-01-06 02:13 < The359> since I only had command of the right click after I switched them
2008-01-06 02:13 < Mahlzahn> arcimboldo_: or getting them to clean their mice.
2008-01-06 02:13 < arcimboldo_> (Likewise, deleting all icons on the desktop and putting a screenshot as the wallpaper).
2008-01-06 02:13 < Mahlzahn> haha! thats a good one.
2008-01-06 02:13 < FastLizard4> arcimboldo_: I did that at school
2008-01-06 02:14 < arcimboldo_> How long did it take them to find out?
2008-01-06 02:14 < FastLizard4> I also flipped the screen, background, and start menu so everything was upsidedown
2008-01-06 02:14 < FastLizard4> arcimboldo_: They never did
2008-01-06 02:14 < FastLizard4> I had to change it back
2008-01-06 02:14 < arcimboldo_> :)
2008-01-06 02:15 < LuciferTiger> ah the good old screenshot and button swap thing
2008-01-06 02:15 < FastLizard4> I dare you to type |shutdown -s -f -t 00| into command prompt...
2008-01-06 02:15 < FastLizard4> without the pipe characters
2008-01-06 02:15 < LuciferTiger> what are those switches for?
2008-01-06 02:15 < Mahlzahn> immediate
2008-01-06 02:15 < LuciferTiger> and on what system btw?
2008-01-06 02:15 < Mahlzahn> I guess.
2008-01-06 02:15 < FastLizard4> shutdown [shutdown command] -s [shutdown, not log out] -t 00 [immediate] -f [force]
2008-01-06 02:15 < FastLizard4> LuciferTiger: Any Windows machine
2008-01-06 02:16 < LuciferTiger> okie
2008-01-06 02:16 < LuciferTiger> i think its bout time that my windows will want me to reboot anyways
2008-01-06 02:17 * FastLizard4 signs email with ~~~~
2008-01-06 02:17 < FastLizard4> Oh, open command prompt, type Ctrl+G about 9 times, then press enter
2008-01-06 02:18 < FastLizard4> Hello?
2008-01-06 02:18 < LuciferTiger> yeah
2008-01-06 02:18 * FastLizard4 hears echoes
2008-01-06 02:18 < FastLizard4> I AM NOT ALONE!!
2008-01-06 02:18 < LuciferTiger> no that wasnt an echo. that was me.
2008-01-06 02:19 < LuciferTiger> and the beeps
2008-01-06 02:19 < FastLizard4> Did you get the beeps?
2008-01-06 02:19 < LuciferTiger> i wonder is spaces make a difference
2008-01-06 02:20 < Mahlzahn> no. Ctrl-G is standard ASCII for BEL
2008-01-06 02:20 < FastLizard4> beep
2008-01-06 02:21 < FastLizard4> bah, ASCII
2008-01-06 02:21 < Mahlzahn> BEL == teletext code for ... the bell.
2008-01-06 02:21 < LuciferTiger> shut up you a^GH^G
2008-01-06 02:21 < Mahlzahn> s/teletext/teletype/
2008-01-06 02:22 < Mahlzahn> no, thats ^H you're thinking of.
2008-01-06 02:22 < LuciferTiger> whats that
2008-01-06 02:22 < Mahlzahn> horizontal backspace
2008-01-06 02:22 < FastLizard4> Holy crap, there is a user named "bah"
2008-01-06 02:22 < FastLizard4> Which is like the most commonly used word on this channel
2008-01-06 02:23 < arcimboldo_> bah, it isn't
2008-01-06 02:23 < LuciferTiger> no i just wanted a beep beep in ass hole
2008-01-06 02:23 * FastLizard4 thinks it is about time bah changed his/her username
2008-01-06 02:23 < LuciferTiger> lol whats the probablity of it being a her
2008-01-06 02:23 < FastLizard4> LuciferTiger: dunno]
2008-01-06 02:24 < LuciferTiger> its actually more than i thought
2008-01-06 02:24 < Mahlzahn> more likely an AOL user using that clownish ms chat client
2008-01-06 02:25 < FastLizard4> bah, bah, black sheep, have you any wool?
2008-01-06 02:26 < Lubaf> You want to talk obscure fanfiction?
2008-01-06 02:26 < Lubaf> How about SkiFree Fanfiction: http://www.fanfiction.net/game/SkiFree/
2008-01-06 02:27 < Cyrius> on this channel, even odds any given user is male, female, or other
2008-01-06 02:27 < bumm13> {{`'.'`}}
2008-01-06 02:27 < Mahlzahn> "even" odds
2008-01-06 02:27 < LuciferTiger> Cyrius: what do u mean?
2008-01-06 02:28 < Mahlzahn> yes, I've noticed. We have a dragon, a cow, and a lizard right now.
2008-01-06 02:28 < LuciferTiger> lol
2008-01-06 02:28 < Cyrius> just don't get...intimate with anyone you meet in here
2008-01-06 02:28 < LuciferTiger> and a tiger tiger burning bright
2008-01-06 02:28 < Cyrius> Mahlzahn: and a whatever the hell bumm13 is
2008-01-06 02:28 < Mahlzahn> *snicker*
2008-01-06 02:28 < LuciferTiger> a bummie
2008-01-06 02:29 < FastLizard4> My NOAA Weather Radio just went off with a flash flood warning
2008-01-06 02:29 < bumm13> =((^o.o^))=//"
2008-01-06 02:29 < LuciferTiger> state/country?
2008-01-06 02:29 < FastLizard4> Los Angeles County, California
2008-01-06 02:29 < bumm13> yep, that area is being hit hard
2008-01-06 02:29 < LuciferTiger> ok opposite end here
2008-01-06 02:29 < Mahlzahn> "it never rains in california"
2008-01-06 02:29 < Cyrius> we get flash flood warnings so frequently here that there's no point to listening to them
2008-01-06 02:29 < FastLizard4> Pasadena, CA: A trained weather spotter reported 1.5 in. of rain in 35 min
2008-01-06 02:30 < Cyrius> they don't amount to anything anyway, because you can't really have a flash flood when the ground is completely flat
2008-01-06 02:30 < FastLizard4> Hey, we have burn areas here, and that's the worry
2008-01-06 02:30 < bumm13> the ground in S. California isn't completely flat
2008-01-06 02:30 < Cyrius> I said "we", I'm talking about where I am
2008-01-06 02:30 < FastLizard4> I live right under the San Gabriel mountains
2008-01-06 02:30 < Mahlzahn> Cyrius: the advisory is for the sewer rats
2008-01-06 02:30 < bumm13> yeah, I know :P
2008-01-06 02:31 < bumm13> this winter has been awful so far :P
2008-01-06 02:32 < bumm13> this heavy rain is going to destabilize a lot of soil in southern California
2008-01-06 02:32 < FastLizard4> my weather radio tends to scare the shit out of everyone in my house every time it goes off, even if it is a test
2008-01-06 02:32 < FastLizard4> Well, a 60 decibel high frequency tone is sure to tip off everyone
2008-01-06 02:32 < Cyrius> that's kind of the point =)
2008-01-06 02:32 < Mahlzahn> the winter has been awful so far for everyone everywhere
2008-01-06 02:32 < Cyrius> why do you even have a weather radio there?
2008-01-06 02:32 < FastLizard4> I remember last winter we got a tornado watch
2008-01-06 02:33 < FastLizard4> and a severe t-storm warning
2008-01-06 02:33 * FastLizard4 is not kidding
2008-01-06 02:33 < Cyrius> you say that like it's unusual =D
2008-01-06 02:33 < FastLizard4> tornadoes in california are sort of unusual
2008-01-06 02:33 < Mahlzahn> k. I'm off. Bed time.
2008-01-06 02:33 * FastLizard4 must go to bed
2008-01-06 02:33 < bumm13> nite Mahlzahn
2008-01-06 02:33 < FastLizard4> Good night, people!
2008-01-06 02:33 < bumm13> nite FastLizard4
2008-01-06 02:34 * Mahlzahn vanishes into the haze *poof*
2008-01-06 02:34 < Rinn> Fastlizard and Mahlzahn go to bed at the same time. I do not think this is a coincidence.
2008-01-06 02:34 < FastLizard4> Rinn: It is a co-incidence
2008-01-06 02:34 < bumm13> :o
2008-01-06 02:34 * bumm13 sits on Rinn
2008-01-06 02:34 * Mahlzahn reapparates
2008-01-06 02:34 < FastLizard4> If you CTCP time both of us, you will see we are not in the same timezone
2008-01-06 02:34 < bumm13> *squish*
2008-01-06 02:34 < Mahlzahn> what was that?
2008-01-06 02:34 < FastLizard4> anyway, 'night
2008-01-06 02:35 < bumm13> _o/
2008-01-06 02:35 * Rinn dies

2008-01-06 02:35 < Rinn> STOP POKING HOLES IN MY THEORIES
2008-01-06 02:35 < Mahlzahn> oops. sorry.

2008-01-06 02:37 * Mahlzahn vanishes again. G'night all.
2008-01-06 02:39 < Rinn> Or wait! A co-incidence, as in an incidence together?

2008-01-06 02:53 < Rinn> "Greetings foreign person! My name is Midas, and I am King of Phrygia. Owing to an unfortunate accident, everything I touch turns to gold. I have tons and tons of the stuff--I'm dying to get rid of the darn stuff! Please send me your bank account number, your credit card information, your social security number, and your mother's maiden name, and I will immediately dispatch to you a boatload of gold bricks. You'll be doing me a big favor by

2008-01-06 03:01 < Starnestommy> isn't that a mode of a major scale?
2008-01-06 03:05 < Lubaf> Montage! Montage! Even Rocky had a montage! Montage!
2008-01-06 03:06 < Drunken_Idiot> Hi Lubaf
2008-01-06 03:06 < The359> Rocky Horror?
2008-01-06 03:07 < Lubaf> The359: You've never seen a Rocky movie, have you?
2008-01-06 03:07 < The359> I've seen Rocky Horror
2008-01-06 03:07 < Lubaf> They fetishized the montage to the point that Eisenstein would've been exceedingly proud.
2008-01-06 03:07 < The359> I'm joking
2008-01-06 03:07 < The359> I've seen them all
2008-01-06 03:07 < The359> but 5
2008-01-06 03:08 < The359> and Balboa
2008-01-06 03:08 < Lubaf> I was about to ask you if Balboa was any good.
2008-01-06 03:08 < Lubaf> Darn.
2008-01-06 03:11 < The359> you have to ask?

2008-01-06 03:40 < bumm13> even for SMB 2 standards, Porcupo is rather obscure
2008-01-06 03:40 < Messedrocker> Tatanga?
2008-01-06 03:40 < Messedrocker> Fuck, that's from Super Mario Land
2008-01-06 03:40 < Messedrocker> (and Super Mario Land 2)
2008-01-06 03:40 < Messedrocker> that's beyond obscure

2008-01-06 03:42 < Messedrocker> I liked World 5
2008-01-06 03:42 < Messedrocker> that was neat
2008-01-06 03:42 < bumm13> yeah, quite creative
2008-01-06 03:42 < bumm13> Bob-omb became a wimp after SMB 2
2008-01-06 03:42 * brown_cat walks all over Messedrocker's keyboard
2008-01-06 03:43 < Messedrocker> bumm13, fighting Bowser in Super Mario Galaxy is a lot like fighting him in super mario bros 3
2008-01-06 03:43 < bumm13> originally, they could blow up entire walking platforms and walls (in places)
2008-01-06 03:43 < Messedrocker> except you have to make him jump into lava pits
2008-01-06 03:43 < bumm13> how unoriginal >:(
2008-01-06 03:43 < Messedrocker> oh it's very original
2008-01-06 03:43 < Messedrocker> for one you do it on a spherical surface
2008-01-06 03:43 < bumm13> hmm
2008-01-06 03:43 < bumm13> spoilers? :P
2008-01-06 03:44 < Messedrocker> look on youtube
2008-01-06 03:44 < bumm13> Bob-omb was also more aggressive then
2008-01-06 03:44 < Rinn> Spoilers: Mario rescues Peach.
2008-01-06 03:44 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-06 03:44 < bumm13> she wore a pink dress in ye olde days
2008-01-06 03:45 * bumm13 would like to see "King Toadstool" ;)
2008-01-06 03:45 < Messedrocker> you mean peach's father?
2008-01-06 03:45 < bumm13> yup
2008-01-06 03:46 < bumm13> the Mushroom *World* has 7 kings, but we never see the Mushroom *Kingdom*'s king :P
2008-01-06 03:46 < Messedrocker> SMB3 was more a world than SMW
2008-01-06 03:46 < Messedrocker> with diverse environments
2008-01-06 03:48 < bumm13> yeah
2008-01-06 03:49 < Messedrocker> i'm not that pleased with SMW
2008-01-06 03:49 < Messedrocker> it's really innovative but it seems more phoned in
2008-01-06 03:49 < bumm13> phoned?
2008-01-06 03:49 < Messedrocker> the innovation was SMB3.
2008-01-06 03:50 < bumm13> Super Mario World was a nice extension of the Mario series, though
2008-01-06 03:50 < Messedrocker> yeah
2008-01-06 03:50 < bumm13> a proper SNES sequel would have been nice, though
2008-01-06 03:50 < bumm13> it's obvious that SMW was a "here's what the SNES can do" early title
2008-01-06 03:50 < Messedrocker> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1zHLX7q8Mg&feature=related << final bowser fight in super mario galaxy. a lot more complicated than "make him fall through bricks" in SMB3
2008-01-06 03:51 < bumm13> heh, Japanese text
2008-01-06 03:52 < Messedrocker> i like the music
2008-01-06 03:52 < Messedrocker> when bowser's able to walk about there's only instrumental
2008-01-06 03:52 < Messedrocker> but when bowser's getting his ass kicked the chorus starts chiming in
2008-01-06 03:52 < Rinn> The fight was too easy. :(
2008-01-06 03:53 < Messedrocker> sure beats throwing him into a bomb three times
2008-01-06 03:54 < Rinn> I somewhat expected to be throwing him into a bomb three times after the first Bowser level with Mario 64 Bowser music and seeing the stars situated around the pre-boss platform.
2008-01-06 03:56 < bumm13> which Koopaling is that?
2008-01-06 03:57 < Messedrocker> koopalings are gone
2008-01-06 03:57 < Rinn> That's Bowser Junior.
2008-01-06 03:57 < Messedrocker> instead is Bowser Junior, who was introduced in Super Mario Sunshine in 2002
2008-01-06 03:57 < Messedrocker> and the world is cursed by the death of the koopalings
2008-01-06 03:57 < Messedrocker> and the birth of this runt
2008-01-06 03:58 < Rinn> They were in Superstar Saga!
2008-01-06 03:59 < Messedrocker> in who?
2008-01-06 03:59 < Rinn> The GBA RPG.
2008-01-06 04:00 < Messedrocker> well New Super Mario Bros. for the DS is supposed to be nostalgic
2008-01-06 04:00 < Messedrocker> Guess who's not in it?
2008-01-06 04:00 < Messedrocker> The koopalings
2008-01-06 04:00 < Messedrocker> Guess who IS
2008-01-06 04:00 < Messedrocker> Dickface.
2008-01-06 04:00 < Messedrocker> I mean Bowser Jr.
2008-01-06 04:01 < Mike_H> Messedrocker: -admins
2008-01-06 04:02 < Messedrocker> hurhurhur
2008-01-06 04:02 < Mike_H> You know you love Miss J
2008-01-06 04:02 * Mike_H divas down the runway
2008-01-06 04:03 < bumm13> ick, Bowser Jr. :P
2008-01-06 04:03 < bumm13> Messedrocker: a somewhat Zelda-esque ending :)
2008-01-06 04:04 < bumm13> I like the whole sequence, though
2008-01-06 04:04 < bumm13> and how Bowser looks when totally inside his "shell ball" ;)
2008-01-06 04:04 < Messedrocker> definitely a zelda-esque ending
2008-01-06 04:04 < Messedrocker> especially with the music
2008-01-06 04:07 * Lubaf wonders what a "Legend of Mario" would be like.
2008-01-06 04:07 < Lubaf> Or a Super Zelda Brothers, for that matter.
2008-01-06 04:08 < Lubaf> Well, we have Zelda II, actually, so that answers what "Super Zelda Brothers" would be like.
2008-01-06 04:08 < Messedrocker> "Legend of Mario" = Super Mario RPG
2008-01-06 04:11 < NedScott> it's funny, there's a lot of users who delete their talk page, or have someone else delete it, but don't delete their talk archives
2008-01-06 04:11 < Lubaf> Messedrocker: I'd say no, since SMRPG wasn't actually that close to a Mario game.
2008-01-06 04:11 < Messedrocker> no, but it definitely fit a Legend-of sorta thing
2008-01-06 04:12 < Rinn> Super Mario Fantasy?
2008-01-06 04:12 < Messedrocker> when is Firefox 3 coming out
2008-01-06 04:12 < NedScott> I wonder if I should put a db note on them
2008-01-06 04:13 < OverlordQ> never, they're going to adopt the netscrape scource
2008-01-06 04:13 < NedScott> they whaaaa?
2008-01-06 04:13 < bumm13> OverlordQ: lol
2008-01-06 04:14 < bumm13> the whole point of Mozilla not being Nutscrape led to them throwing out the old code in the first place
2008-01-06 04:16 < Evil_Monkey> Is there a name for the girls who stand on the podium when prizes are presented in motorsport?
2008-01-06 04:20 < arcimboldo_> staffage girls?
2008-01-06 04:21 < The359> Pit lane girls
2008-01-06 04:21 < The359> Or in Japan, Race queens
2008-01-06 04:21 < The359> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_queen
2008-01-06 04:22 < Evil_Monkey> thanks
2008-01-06 04:22 < The359> The models, referred as "grid/pit girls" in Europe, are very common in many series worldwide, but are mostly banned in the United States due to the reasons of being associated with sexism. <-- lies
2008-01-06 04:22 < The359> American racing series don't have grids
2008-01-06 04:22 < The359> Or at least the cars don't line up in a grid usually
2008-01-06 04:22 < Evil_Monkey> went to motor racing today and took some photos (though only one of the girls)
2008-01-06 04:23 < bumm13> The349: wtf?
2008-01-06 04:23 < The359> There are girls all over the American AMA bike series and stuff
2008-01-06 04:23 < bumm13> *The359
2008-01-06 04:23 < The359> And when I was at the 24 Hours of Daytona last year, they had Playboy models
2008-01-06 04:23 < The359> For one team. Sponsored by Playboy.
2008-01-06 04:23 < Evil_Monkey> the whole tone of the [[race queen]] article is bad
2008-01-06 04:23 < The359> yes
2008-01-06 04:23 < Evil_Monkey> "Some go on to become models or even actresses but those who are unable to leverage their career into something larger, sometimes slowly "decline" into AV work, marriage and eventual obscurity."
2008-01-06 04:24 < The359> lol, marriage
2008-01-06 04:24 < The359> as if they're all single
2008-01-06 04:24 < The359> It's also Japanese-centric
2008-01-06 04:24 < Evil_Monkey> at least one of the girls today appeared to be girlfriend with one of the drivers
2008-01-06 04:24 < The359> possible
2008-01-06 04:24 < The359> would make sense
2008-01-06 04:24 < The359> she gets to travel with him
2008-01-06 04:25 < The359> if you go to the SuperGT series homepage, they have galleries of just the Race queens
2008-01-06 04:25 < The359> they're most popular over in Japan
2008-01-06 04:26 < The359> and some of them end up dressed in retarded outfits for whoever the sponsor is
2008-01-06 04:29 < arcimboldo_> We've even got a list of race queens on WP ...
2008-01-06 04:30 < Evil_Monkey> stupid commons flickr upload tool
2008-01-06 04:30 < Evil_Monkey> It complained the photograph didn't have a compatible license
2008-01-06 04:30 < arcimboldo_> (great ... in line with Japanese tradition, their articles even quote their blood group)
2008-01-06 04:30 < Evil_Monkey> even though it is Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic
2008-01-06 04:30 < arcimboldo_> group -> type
2008-01-06 04:31 < The359> yeah, that's always been odd to me
2008-01-06 04:31 < The359> the blood thing
2008-01-06 04:31 * White_Cat jumps up high and shouts "pikachu" while zaping Evil_Monkey
2008-01-06 04:31 < White_Cat> :P
2008-01-06 04:31 * The359 gives White_Cat seizures
2008-01-06 04:31 < White_Cat> Evil_Monkey why do I want to subject you to virtual violence?
2008-01-06 04:32 < White_Cat> seizure is not a legitemate attack
2008-01-06 04:33 < Evil_Monkey> I dunno
2008-01-06 04:35 * Evil_Monkey does his best to objectify women - [[Race queen]], now with photo
2008-01-06 04:36 < arcimboldo_> It's not fully clear whether the article lemma refers to race queens within Japan only.
2008-01-06 04:37 < The359> what were they racing there
2008-01-06 04:38 < arcimboldo_> (And based on Japanese standards those two would be considered overweight).
2008-01-06 04:38 < The359> heh, yeah
2008-01-06 04:38 < The359> bit saggy too I think
2008-01-06 04:38 < Evil_Monkey> The359: [[Toyota Racing Series]]
2008-01-06 04:38 < The359> Another stand out article
2008-01-06 04:39 < The359> And full of lies
2008-01-06 04:39 < The359> "The cars are also the category for the New Zealand Grand Prix - one of only two races in the world with FIA approval to use the Grand Prix nomenclature outside Formula One."
2008-01-06 04:39 < Evil_Monkey> sounds like it should be a copyvio
2008-01-06 04:39 < Mike_H> <arcimboldo_> (And based on Japanese standards those two would be considered overweight).
2008-01-06 04:39 < The359> I can name off the top of my head a dozen races run just this year that used the term Grand Prix
2008-01-06 04:39 < Mike_H> Oh, cool, Japan is like the judging panel on America's Next Top Model
2008-01-06 04:39 < Mike_H> loves it
2008-01-06 04:40 < Mike_H> I kind of imagine that a Japan's Next Top Model would have some old wrinkled has-been playing the Tyra role
2008-01-06 04:40 < Mike_H> like maybe Akiko Wada :D
2008-01-06 04:40 < The359> ah, Formula 3 equivilant
2008-01-06 04:40 < The359> Haven't seen any of those type of cars yet in person
2008-01-06 04:41 < Evil_Monkey> It was the Lady Wigram Trophy which is a big motorsport trophy in New Zealand
2008-01-06 04:43 < Evil_Monkey> Has names like J Brabham , S Moss, B McLaren, J Stewart on it
2008-01-06 04:43 < The359> I saw Jackie Stewart's brother died the other day
2008-01-06 04:44 < Rinn> Jon Stewart races?
2008-01-06 04:44 < The359> Jimmy Stewart
2008-01-06 04:44 < The359> and no, not the actor
2008-01-06 04:44 < Lubaf> [Vagina dentata]], what a wonderful phrase...
2008-01-06 04:44 < Lubaf> Er, [[Vagina dentata]], rather.
2008-01-06 04:44 < Rinn> Ain't no passin' craze!
2008-01-06 04:44 < The359> Sounds like Hakuna Mantata
2008-01-06 04:45 < Mike_H> that was what he was going for, I'm assuming
2008-01-06 04:45 < Lubaf> Mike_H: Ayup.
2008-01-06 04:46 < The359> http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0780622/still3_164763CCcb.jpg.html Now that's a picture
2008-01-06 04:52 < bumm13> hiya morwen
2008-01-06 05:09 < arcimboldo_> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SS_Malolo&limit=500&action=history Is that a record for a single user's series of edits within one day?
2008-01-06 05:11 < OverlordQ> yes and no. it's their edits
2008-01-06 05:11 < arcimboldo_> aha
2008-01-06 05:13 < OverlordQ> dated whenever they were made
2008-01-06 05:23 < Fabexplosive> hello
2008-01-06 05:32 < Lubaf> Are we not men?
2008-01-06 05:32 < Lubaf> arcimboldo!
2008-01-06 05:32 < Lubaf> arcimboldo_: Seriously: probably not.
2008-01-06 05:33 < Lubaf> There have been plenty of editors who have had larger editing sprees.
2008-01-06 05:41 < arcimboldo_> Has WP ever thought of extending the size of the edit Window or even creating some kind of WYSIWIG application?
2008-01-06 05:43 < Discmon> no idea, you'll have to ask those people there
2008-01-06 05:43 < Discmon> hi anyway ^^
2008-01-06 05:44 < Messedrocker> arcimboldo_, a WYSIWYG is somewhat in development
2008-01-06 05:44 < Messedrocker> as for a larger edit window, that'd be a good idea
2008-01-06 05:44 < Krimpet> you could probably do it with a bit of user JS
2008-01-06 05:45 < Krimpet> the larger edit window, at least - WYSIWYG would be quite a bit of work
2008-01-06 06:06 < Drunken_Idiot> Eek.
2008-01-06 06:11 < Fabexplosive> hey Drunken_Idiot
2008-01-06 06:11 < Drunken_Idiot> Hi Fabexplosive
2008-01-06 06:12 < Drunken_Idiot> Fabexplosive: how are you
2008-01-06 06:12 < Fabexplosive> i'm fine, thanks
2008-01-06 06:12 < Fabexplosive> and you?
2008-01-06 06:13 < Drunken_Idiot> Bad knee.
2008-01-06 06:13 < Drunken_Idiot> Had physio
2008-01-06 06:13 < Drunken_Idiot> very painful.
2008-01-06 06:14 < Drunken_Idiot> _scott: Hi
2008-01-06 06:14 < Drunken_Idiot> kila: :P
2008-01-06 06:15 < kila> mm
2008-01-06 06:15 < Drunken_Idiot> Fabexplosive: Whats the most reliable weather source site?
2008-01-06 06:15 < Discmon> the weather channel perhaps?
2008-01-06 06:15 < Drunken_Idiot> Not 100 % reliable
2008-01-06 06:15 < Drunken_Idiot> CNN , Naked News , BBC not helping either
2008-01-06 06:16 < Fabexplosive> Drunken_Idiot: heh, i dont' know
2008-01-06 06:16 < Discmon> there aren't really good weather channels out there I guess heh...
2008-01-06 06:16 < Discmon> because everything is so...unpredictable
2008-01-06 06:16 < Fabexplosive> weather is difficult :D
2008-01-06 06:16 < Drunken_Idiot> I guess.
2008-01-06 06:17 < Discmon> climates are still possible to predict... but weather....
2008-01-06 06:17 < Discmon> that's another thing
2008-01-06 06:17 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: Even human Psychology is predictable.
2008-01-06 06:17 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: Example I ask Becca out. She might say yes or no.
2008-01-06 06:17 < Fabexplosive> http://www.eurometeo.com/english/home i've tried this and is accurate but is only for europe and not all world :(
2008-01-06 06:17 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: I mean its not predictable.
2008-01-06 06:17 < Discmon> yea I get you
2008-01-06 06:17 < Drunken_Idiot> Fabexplosive: lol BBC is accurate for Ireland and BBC.
2008-01-06 06:18 < Discmon> and its also highly possible that yes = no and vice versa...
2008-01-06 06:18 < Drunken_Idiot> Fabexplosive: And Britain
2008-01-06 06:18 < Fabexplosive> lol
2008-01-06 06:18 < Drunken_Idiot> Whats wrong with me.
2008-01-06 06:18 < Drunken_Idiot> I can't type...
2008-01-06 06:18 * Fabexplosive away-lunch
2008-01-06 06:18 < Drunken_Idiot> Oky Doky.
2008-01-06 06:18 < Drunken_Idiot> Bon Appeti.
2008-01-06 06:19 < Discmon> lol... dinner is coming so soon....
2008-01-06 06:19 < Fabexplosive> danke
2008-01-06 06:19 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: In reality if I asked kila or Becca out for example I might have been slapped, or harrassed or a simple no.
2008-01-06 06:19 < Drunken_Idiot> Human Psychology.
2008-01-06 06:19 < Discmon> yup...
2008-01-06 06:19 < Drunken_Idiot> But..
2008-01-06 06:19 < Drunken_Idiot> From the expresion of the face
2008-01-06 06:19 < Drunken_Idiot> and physical
2008-01-06 06:19 < Discmon> as you get to know a person, it becomes predictable too ^^
2008-01-06 06:19 < Drunken_Idiot> behaviour evidence and ...
2008-01-06 06:20 < Drunken_Idiot> can be observed
2008-01-06 06:20 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: Not always.
2008-01-06 06:20 < Discmon> yea...
2008-01-06 06:20 < Discmon> well it works for me so far...
2008-01-06 06:20 < Drunken_Idiot> I had a case with my really good friend she.. I thought she wants to go out with me wow she ended-up being a lesbian.
2008-01-06 06:20 < Discmon> wow...
2008-01-06 06:21 < Drunken_Idiot> Animal Psychology is fascinating
2008-01-06 06:21 < Discmon> I think animals are simpler, because they do not have as much motivations and agendas as humans will have
2008-01-06 06:21 < Drunken_Idiot> True
2008-01-06 06:21 < Drunken_Idiot> Spider's psychology is fun..:D
2008-01-06 06:21 < Drunken_Idiot> Been studying them for 4 years.
2008-01-06 06:21 < yao_ziyuan> in the lyric of "Hill Dan - It's A Long Road" there is:
2008-01-06 06:22 < yao_ziyuan> "Where the road is / That's the place for me"
2008-01-06 06:22 < yao_ziyuan> i wonder what "where the road is" literally means here
2008-01-06 06:22 < yao_ziyuan> does it mean "where the road leads to"?
2008-01-06 06:22 < yao_ziyuan> full lyric: http://www.mp3lyrics.org/d/dan-hill/its-a-long-road/
2008-01-06 06:23 < yao_ziyuan> solved
2008-01-06 06:23 < Drunken_Idiot> or
2008-01-06 06:23 < Drunken_Idiot> lyricfreaks.com

2008-01-06 06:24 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: Yep
2008-01-06 06:24 < arcimboldo_> "where the web is / that's the place for me"
2008-01-06 06:24 < arcimboldo_> (that's the spider's song of course)
2008-01-06 06:24 < Discmon> are you a biologist?
2008-01-06 06:25 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: Negative, not a sexiologist or biologist or psychologist..
2008-01-06 06:25 < Discmon> so I guess you just do it for fun then?
2008-01-06 06:26 < arcimboldo_> no because he's in love with a spider
2008-01-06 06:26 < Discmon> lol....
2008-01-06 06:27 < Discmon> anyway, since we're on the topic, what do you do in your free time?
2008-01-06 06:28 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: not really..
2008-01-06 06:28 < Drunken_Idiot> I am discovering somethings
2008-01-06 06:28 < Discmon> oh...
2008-01-06 06:29 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: tiger balm makes a spider happy
