2008-01-07 12:53 < lc2> UltraMagnus: commons is still down
2008-01-07 12:53 < cf38> It's not up for me!
2008-01-07 12:53 < Drunken_Idiot> lc2: long time
2008-01-07 12:53 < Lycurgus_> Ich habe zwei ISPs versuchen und mit kein Problem
2008-01-07 12:54 < jackaranga> for me neither
2008-01-07 12:54 < Crazy_Man> wiki down
2008-01-07 12:54 < moralist> ultramagnus: stop lying :P
2008-01-07 12:54 < Arsanerit> en.wikipedia.org is down for me (trying to access from Würzburg, Germany)
2008-01-07 12:54 < [AGK]> cf38: where are you editing from?
2008-01-07 12:54 < msamurai> does anybody know what the problem is? any official guy?
2008-01-07 12:54 < UltraMagnus> www.wikipedia.org is fine for me
2008-01-07 12:54 < UltraMagnus> clear your cache?
2008-01-07 12:54 < pgimeno> Broken in Spain too
2008-01-07 12:54 < moralist> ultramagnus: clearing it all the time
2008-01-07 12:55 < [AGK]> msamurai: I ain't official, but it's a 500 error, looks like one of the servers is down/not working, and there's not enough resources to go around
2008-01-07 12:55 < [AGK]> so the USA gets it all :)
2008-01-07 12:55 < gerbennn> all **.wikipedia down from netherlands
2008-01-07 12:55 < [AGK]> and europe gets a 500 error :)
2008-01-07 12:55 < IceflamePhoenix> i can confirm that the UK is getting the same error
2008-01-07 12:55 < simongoldring> hmmmm, it didn't work for me, but i'm back on now
2008-01-07 12:55 < darkpkmn> UK is the same
2008-01-07 12:55 < simongoldring> in uk
2008-01-07 12:55 < lc2> why does it tell people to come here?
2008-01-07 12:55 < Demi> sounds like the european squids
2008-01-07 12:55 < cf38> Everything is down for me, Wikimedia complete error, I can't forward
2008-01-07 12:55 < lc2> that makes no sense
2008-01-07 12:55 < UltraMagnus> umm.... yeah, www.wikipedia.org is up, but if you try to search its down
2008-01-07 12:56 < cf38> LC2, Because this is the official Wiki chat-thing
2008-01-07 12:56 < Lycurgus_> the two I tried were both in northeast north america
2008-01-07 12:56 < Drunken_Idiot> UltraMagnus: Works for me
2008-01-07 12:56 < UltraMagnus> lc2: because this is a wikipedia support channel?
2008-01-07 12:56 < Gabi> Hello, does anyone know what's up with the servers?
2008-01-07 12:56 < [AGK]> Somebody change the topic to Status: Down, we'll be back down
2008-01-07 12:56 < [AGK]> *be back up soon
2008-01-07 12:56 < [AGK]> ah, thanks Cyrius :)
2008-01-07 12:56 < lc2> cf38, UltraMagnus: yeah, and the only thing anybody ever learns from coming here is "oh, it's down for me too"
2008-01-07 12:56 < [AGK]> Ic2
2008-01-07 12:56 < lc2> [AGK]: that's LC2
2008-01-07 12:56 < lc2> lrn2betterfont plox
2008-01-07 12:56 < [AGK]> Ic2: I'm trying to tell them what's up, nobody will listen but :)
2008-01-07 12:56 < [AGK]> *Lc2 :)
2008-01-07 12:56 < lc2> [AGK]: oh okay
2008-01-07 12:57 < MichaelSammels> OK.... Wikipedia is down. :S
2008-01-07 12:57 < lc2> [AGK]: so what's up?
2008-01-07 12:57 < moralist> I think it's very learning to see the crazy discussion also :D
2008-01-07 12:57 < UltraMagnus> [AGK] umm,,,, what is up?
2008-01-07 12:57 < lc2> or down, perhaps
2008-01-07 12:57 < cf38> Lc2, don't be a drama queen. People like [AGK] are explaining what the problem is.
2008-01-07 12:57 < [AGK]> one of the squid servers has went down, so there's not enough resources to go around
2008-01-07 12:57 < lc2> cf38: NO U
2008-01-07 12:57 < [AGK]> it will be back up once somebody resets the server
2008-01-07 12:57 < lc2> [AGK]: oh okay
2008-01-07 12:57 < [AGK]> which should be soon
2008-01-07 12:57 < [AGK]> so don't worry :)
2008-01-07 12:57 < MichaelSammels> :)
2008-01-07 12:57 < NoodleWorm> damn....I was gonna see if anything on wikiversity could help with my maths homework
2008-01-07 12:57 < UltraMagnus> [AGK} what is a squid server?
2008-01-07 12:57 < moralist> [[squid server]]
2008-01-07 12:57 < Qhestion> we need more people at the reset switches...
2008-01-07 12:57 < [AGK]> it will probably only affect europe
2008-01-07 12:58 < DarkAppo89> Down also in it.wiki
2008-01-07 12:58 < UltraMagnus> i would look it up on wikipedia but....... umm......
2008-01-07 12:58 < MichaelSammels> I want to research Leonard Skinner. :P I can do reset if you let me. :)
2008-01-07 12:58 < MichaelSammels> Brb
2008-01-07 12:58 < Qhestion> by the way: is it "at the reset switches" or "on the reset switches" ?
2008-01-07 12:58 < yuide> sweden's back up
2008-01-07 12:58 < [AGK]> UltraMagnus: go to google, define:squid :)
2008-01-07 12:58 < NoulNou> whats the human rights in north korea
2008-01-07 12:58 < lc2> ITS BAAAAAAAAACK
2008-01-07 12:58 < [AGK]> it's up, all
2008-01-07 12:58 < Cyrius> for whatever reason, the amsterdam cluster went down
2008-01-07 12:59 < xi1> UltraMagnus: it's a kind of caching webserver.
2008-01-07 12:59 < square4life> yeah, it back up
2008-01-07 12:59 < moralist> noulnou: very good
2008-01-07 12:59 < square4life> *it's
2008-01-07 12:59 < greudin> \o/
2008-01-07 12:59 < [AGK]> topic update, any watching ops
2008-01-07 12:59 < Cyrius> xi1: it's actually an http proxy, we're just using it backwards =D
2008-01-07 12:59 < IceflamePhoenix> oh, it just worked for me
2008-01-07 12:59 < [AGK]> Cyrius: :P
2008-01-07 12:59 < UltraMagnus> ah..... its back up
2008-01-07 12:59 < [AGK]> yes, it's up all
2008-01-07 12:59 < cf38> Yep, I have it up
2008-01-07 12:59 < UltraMagnus> everything works fine in the UK
2008-01-07 12:59 < [AGK]> back to the drahmaz
2008-01-07 12:59 < cf38> Bit slow though
2008-01-07 12:59 * lc2 watches #wikipedia go empty
2008-01-07 12:59 < NoodleWorm> HORAH, working for me in Ireland
2008-01-07 13:00 < Cyrius> cf38: people hitting refresh
2008-01-07 13:00 < IceflamePhoenix> we like Ireland
2008-01-07 13:00 < Melo_> in italy is ok
2008-01-07 13:00 < cf38> NoodleWorm, where in Ireland?
2008-01-07 13:00 < NoodleWorm> south east
2008-01-07 13:00 < IceflamePhoenix> the arse end?
2008-01-07 13:00 < NoodleWorm> yup
2008-01-07 13:00 < IceflamePhoenix> nice
2008-01-07 13:00 < Navigator613-in-> êòî-òî ðóññêèé ïîíèìàåò?
2008-01-07 13:00 < cf38> I (Kinda) hail from County Monghahan, on the border
2008-01-07 13:00 < xi1> Cyrius: ah, i think it was also being used backwards when i last came into contact with it too ;)
2008-01-07 13:00 < pgimeno> I was in the middle of a big change. Will it work if I go back and click Preview again?
2008-01-07 13:00 < [AGK]> scotland's working fine too, everything appears to be back to normal
2008-01-07 13:01 < IceflamePhoenix> NoodleWorm - are we counting Cork as part of the arse end?
2008-01-07 13:01 * Drunken_Idiot anyone wants to laugh?
2008-01-07 13:01 < Qhestion> no.
2008-01-07 13:01 < Navigator613-in-> why Wiki doesn't work?
2008-01-07 13:01 < Cyrius> xi1: a lot of people use it that way
2008-01-07 13:01 < cf38> Do you include Shannon in the arse end?
2008-01-07 13:01 < Qhestion> dammit now i forgot what i wanted to edit.
2008-01-07 13:01 < Cyrius> Navigator613-in-: try reloading
2008-01-07 13:01 < cf38> Cos I'ts a nice place
2008-01-07 13:01 < Cyrius> it was down, it should be working now
2008-01-07 13:01 < NoodleWorm> Corks like...the back leg of Ireland?
2008-01-07 13:02 < Navigator613-in-> Cyrius: tried...
2008-01-07 13:02 < UltraMagnus> can you guys try not to unplug any more servers? kthxbye
2008-01-07 13:02 < lc2> heh
2008-01-07 13:02 < cf38> and LondonDerry is like the other arse hole of Ireland?
2008-01-07 13:02 < Cyrius> UltraMagnus: more like server racks, a _lot_ of hardware had problems
2008-01-07 13:04 < NoodleWorm> ima go now, bye bye
2008-01-07 13:07 < lc2> and everyone goes
2008-01-07 13:07 < lc2> gee
2008-01-07 13:07 < Navigator613-in-> it works!!!
2008-01-07 13:08 < square4life> It has been for about 10 minutes now
2008-01-07 13:14 < Drunken_Idiot> Fabexplosive: http://www.hotiranians.com/pics/Homayun_MCMP60.JPG my pic
2008-01-07 13:14 < Cyrius> it was some kind of vaguely described router problem preventing communication between the florida and amsterdam clusters
2008-01-07 13:15 < Fabexplosive> Drunken_Idiot: :)
2008-01-07 13:17 < Navigator613-in-> do you like bash.org?
2008-01-07 13:17 < Lycurgus_> I thought you were supposed to be a paki?
2008-01-07 13:18 < Drunken_Idiot> Lycurgus_: What do I look like >?
2008-01-07 13:18 < Drunken_Idiot> Lycurgus: I am mixed French, Iranian , Pakistani and Indian
2008-01-07 13:19 < Lycurgus> I see, and IIRC you actually only said that you were *in* Pakistan.
2008-01-07 13:19 < Doc_glasgow> anyone like "My Chemical Romance"?? or "The Used"??
2008-01-07 13:20 < Navigator613-in-> :$
2008-01-07 13:20 < Doc_glasgow> or know about them?
2008-01-07 13:20 < Navigator613-in-> :$
2008-01-07 13:20 < Navigator613-in-> no
2008-01-07 13:20 < Cyrius> heard of the first, couldn't say I've ever actually heard anything by them
2008-01-07 13:21 < Drunken_Idiot> Lycurgus: I got a satellite connection
2008-01-07 13:21 < Lycurgus> which you use for teleportation.
2008-01-07 13:22 < Drunken_Idiot> Lycurgus: Nah Composing
2008-01-07 13:22 < Drunken_Idiot> I need a net
2008-01-07 13:22 < Lycurgus> moo too.
2008-01-07 13:24 < Schroeder> "Come here," she said, "I'll give ya shelter from the storm."
2008-01-07 13:25 * Drunken_Idiot leaves
2008-01-07 13:25 < Demi> google's trip planner seems to consider walking as some form of teleportation
2008-01-07 13:29 < Ceiling_Cat> too quiet in here
2008-01-07 13:31 * Huggly_Cat huggles Ashfire908
2008-01-07 13:33 * Ashfire908 ignores Huggly_Cat and just idles
2008-01-07 13:35 < NotACow> Demi: heh
2008-01-07 13:36 < NotACow> Demi: they also considered swimming a legitimate means of travel for a while
2008-01-07 13:37 < Demi> nice
2008-01-07 13:37 < Demi> well, all i need to do is hop over a six-lane freeway and climb through a bunch of people's fences through a gated community and then i'll arrive at the train station
2008-01-07 13:37 < NotACow> Demi: if you requested directions from somewhere in north america to somewhere in europe, google would direct you to boston, then tell you to swim to either Brest or Le Havre (i forget which), then give you driving directions from there
2008-01-07 13:38 < Demi> nice
2008-01-07 13:38 < NotACow> it no longer does this
2008-01-07 13:40 < UltraMagnus> couldn't you get a drive on cruise ship or something from boston?
2008-01-07 13:43 < Demi> NotACow - that's entertaining, though
2008-01-07 13:48 * Mike_H NP: The Cardigans - Lovefool (1996)
2008-01-07 13:48 * Huggly_Cat huggles Mike_H
2008-01-07 13:48 < Mike_H> :o
2008-01-07 13:49 * Ceiling_Cat watches
2008-01-07 13:50 < Mike_H> :o :o
2008-01-07 13:51 < Huggly_Cat> "Other Pentagon officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Iranians made threats by radio and a U.S. captain was in the process of ordering sailors to open fire when the Iranian boats moved away."
2008-01-07 13:52 < Huggly_Cat> According to the officials, the radio transmission from one of the Iranian ships said: "I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes."
2008-01-07 13:52 < lc2> oh shi-
2008-01-07 13:52 < NotACow> Demi: yes, i thought so :)
2008-01-07 13:53 < Huggly_Cat> the iranians have a bad track record versus the US navy
2008-01-07 14:03 < quanticle> Huggly_Cat: However, when the US ran wargames simulating an attack against Iran, our 'Red Team' general managed to *sink* most of a carrier group by using fishing vessels and suicide boats
2008-01-07 14:04 < quanticle> The "sunk" vessels were then "refloated" so that the exercise could be completed
2008-01-07 14:04 < quanticle> Lesson: Don't underestimate guerrila tactics. They even work at sea
2008-01-07 14:04 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - no modern carrier has ever been sunk
2008-01-07 14:05 < Ceiling_Cat> in fact, the navy blew one up just to see what it would take to kill one
2008-01-07 14:05 < Ceiling_Cat> answer - a lot
2008-01-07 14:05 < Ceiling_Cat> I mean, a *lot*
2008-01-07 14:05 < Ceiling_Cat> see [[USS America (CV-66)]]
2008-01-07 14:05 < UltraMagnus> killing all the crew is another matter though......
2008-01-07 14:06 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: That's because no modern carrier has ever been used in a naval engagement
2008-01-07 14:06 < UltraMagnus> could always use a torpedo with a thermonuclear warhead
2008-01-07 14:06 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: In the first days of that mock battle, he used unconventional methods, including a preemptive attack that featured air-, sea-, and ground-launched cruise missiles to sink 16 American ships. After the American forces decided to refloat the ships and restart the game, Van Riper stepped aside from his role, contending that the rest of the game was scripted for American victory.
2008-01-07 14:06 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - that's because modern warfare has conceeded supremacy of the seas to the united states and its allies
2008-01-07 14:07 < Ceiling_Cat> nobody even bothers building warships anymore
2008-01-07 14:07 < Ceiling_Cat> (at least not surface ones)
2008-01-07 14:07 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: I'm saying that making the assumption of naval superiority in the face of cruise missiles is a bad one
2008-01-07 14:07 < UltraMagnus> cant flak cannons shoot down cruise missiles?
2008-01-07 14:07 < quanticle> Cruise missile are cheap enough and widely available enough that that a country can afford to launch hundreds to take out a single carrier
2008-01-07 14:07 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - not superiority, supremacy. And fair enough - I'll limit it to deep water supremacy
2008-01-07 14:08 < Ceiling_Cat> also, cruise missles are generally ineffective. Only one US ship has ever been damaged by one
2008-01-07 14:08 < Ceiling_Cat> (the USS Stark)
2008-01-07 14:08 < quanticle> UltraMagnus: It comes down to an issue of cost. I can launch 1000s of cruise missile to take out a single carrier and still come out ahead
2008-01-07 14:09 < quanticle> UltraMagnus: Sort of a naval version of what Hezbollah did to Israel
2008-01-07 14:09 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - in order to hit a ship, you neeed a very accurate missile
2008-01-07 14:09 * cimon is tempted to quote Dan Quayle on Red October.
2008-01-07 14:09 < Ceiling_Cat> and accurate missiles requires fixed launch points
2008-01-07 14:09 < Ceiling_Cat> the kind that get blown up very easily
2008-01-07 14:09 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Not really. Carries are huge targets
2008-01-07 14:10 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - not where missiles are concerned
2008-01-07 14:10 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Nope. The Argentines used French Exocets to take out a British carrier
2008-01-07 14:10 < Ceiling_Cat> an unguided missile (e.g, a rocket) or a barely-guided missile are OK if you want to hit somewhere in side of israel
2008-01-07 14:10 < quanticle> And exocets are air-launched
2008-01-07 14:10 < cimon> Ceiling_Cat, hoe good are they against EMP's?
2008-01-07 14:10 < Ceiling_Cat> it's not OK if you want to hit a ship at sea
2008-01-07 14:10 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Exocet
2008-01-07 14:11 < quanticle> Can be air or sea launched and has more than enough accuracy
2008-01-07 14:11 < quanticle> And there's many of them out there because France was selling them pretty freely
2008-01-07 14:12 < UltraMagnus> cimon: millitary hard ware uses germanium arsnide (sp?) processors that are immune to EMP
2008-01-07 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - the argentines sank exactly two british ships
2008-01-07 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> a destroyer and a support ship
2008-01-07 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> and damaged another destroyer
2008-01-07 14:12 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: And managed to do it against a superior British force
2008-01-07 14:12 < cimon> UltraMagnus, hmm, that is interesting...
2008-01-07 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> (neither with much loss of life)
2008-01-07 14:13 < quanticle> UltraMagnus:
2008-01-07 14:13 < Ceiling_Cat> the largest loss of life in the entire war was when the britihs sank the general belgrano
2008-01-07 14:13 < Ceiling_Cat> an argentine ship with 600+ crew
2008-01-07 14:13 < cimon> UltraMagnus, interestingly arsnick was what first made me discover wikipedia.
2008-01-07 14:13 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Oddly enough, sinking the Belgrano didn't gain the British much tactical superiority
2008-01-07 14:14 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: The Belgrano was a superannuated ship anyway
2008-01-07 14:14 < UltraMagnus> cimon: although i am unsure if cruise missiles are equipped with those expensive processors, i would assume so as a EMP could cause them to explode on the ship otherwise
2008-01-07 14:14 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: http://www.exile.ru/articles/detail.php?ARTICLE_ID=6779&IBLOCK_ID=35
2008-01-07 14:14 < UltraMagnus> umm... after that the argies kept their entire fleet in dock..... i hardly call that (little tactical advantage)
2008-01-07 14:15 < UltraMagnus> s/(/"
2008-01-07 14:16 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: But what van Ripen did to the US fleet...that's something very different. He was given nothing but small planes and ships-fishing boats, patrol boats, that kind of thing. He kept them circling around the edges of the Persian Gulf aimlessly, driving the Navy crazy trying to keep track of them. When the Admirals finally lost patience and ordered all planes and ships to leave, van Ripen had them all attack at once. And they sank two-t
2008-01-07 14:16 < cimon> Ceiling_Cat, anyway, I am betting what they used in those tests, was the regular "conventional" stuff, nothing like californium or cobalt or that stuff.
2008-01-07 14:17 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: I'm saying that the carrier now is in the same position as the Missouri class battleships were at the end of WW2. Big proud dinosaurs
2008-01-07 14:19 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - nah, that's insanity
2008-01-07 14:19 < quanticle> The issue is that carrier are much harder to replace than small patrol vessels. So, all you have to do is launch hundreds of small boats, each armed with a single Harpoon, or whatever. As long as all your boats launch simultaneously, that carrier is toast,
2008-01-07 14:19 < Ceiling_Cat> there's a very simple reason why
2008-01-07 14:19 < Ceiling_Cat> because you need mobile launching platforms for planes in a modern world where you may not be able to get overflight or basing rights in all parts of the world
2008-01-07 14:20 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: That's true. But as instruments of *naval* superiority, carriers are dead.
2008-01-07 14:20 < cimon> The problem with assessing the vulnerability of some huge installation is one usually evaluates it against "offensive" weapons that are usable and versatile accross a range of possible uses. Any installation is only as safe as it is protected against a concerted attack at it, knowing its full strengths and weaknesses. Remember Star Wars, A New Hope.
2008-01-07 14:20 < quanticle> They'll be confined to a support role...
2008-01-07 14:20 * Mike_H NP: The Cardigans - Lovefool (1996)
2008-01-07 14:20 < Mike_H> love me love me
2008-01-07 14:20 < Mike_H> say that you love me!
2008-01-07 14:21 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - as I have already said, naval supremacy has been conceeded to the US
2008-01-07 14:21 < Ceiling_Cat> (at least in deep water)
2008-01-07 14:21 < Ceiling_Cat> they are antiquated in that sense because nobody even tries to contest it
2008-01-07 14:22 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Right. But deep water naval superiority only matters when you're dealing with another superpower. All our conflicts in the foreseeable future will be shallow-water jobs where our strengths are much more tenuous
2008-01-07 14:22 < cimon> Ceiling_Cat, so what you are saying is that US supremacy is sunk?
2008-01-07 14:22 < Ceiling_Cat> cimon - quite the opposite. I'm saying US deep water naval supremacy is uncontested
2008-01-07 14:22 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Deep water supremacy doesn't matter these days because there's no Soviet Union to contest it
2008-01-07 14:22 < Ceiling_Cat> it matters if we want to use our carriers as mobile launching platforms
2008-01-07 14:23 < cimon> Ceiling_Cat, Well, Arab hot desert supremacy is equally uncontested.
2008-01-07 14:23 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Nope. The carriers will have to come in close, in order to allow their planes nontrivial time over target
2008-01-07 14:23 < Mike_H> cimon: welcome back
2008-01-07 14:23 < quanticle> cimon: Nope. We're contesting Arab hot desert supremacy right now. And doing a pretty poor job of it to boot
2008-01-07 14:24 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - "close" is a relative concept. What's close for a plane to fly is not necessarily close for a boat to launch a cruise missile
2008-01-07 14:24 < cimon> Love to see US forces contest Rub Al'Khali.
2008-01-07 14:24 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: cruise missiles essentially *are* small kamikaze planes.
2008-01-07 14:25 < quanticle> They use the same turbine jet engines and aerodynamic principles
2008-01-07 14:25 < quanticle> Just scaled down
2008-01-07 14:25 < quanticle> In fact cruise missiles have longer ranges, since you don't need the life support equipment for a person
2008-01-07 14:25 < cimon> Mike_H, heh, glad to be back. Had a very boring first day at work.
2008-01-07 14:25 < Mike_H> cimon: :(
2008-01-07 14:26 < cimon> Mike_H, not boring as in bad, boring as in mostly uneventful/good.
2008-01-07 14:26 < Mike_H> oh, okay
2008-01-07 14:26 * Mike_H NP: Donna Summer - Love to Love You Baby (1976)
2008-01-07 14:27 < quanticle> Mike_H: Fan of the oldies?
2008-01-07 14:27 < cimon> Mike_H, could have been much worse..., some silly kids throwing firecrackers much past their sale by date... and a bit of ethnic tension, nothing that special
2008-01-07 14:27 < Mike_H> Whatever gave you that idea?
2008-01-07 14:28 < quanticle> cimon: What's your job?
2008-01-07 14:28 < Mike_H> cimon: At a library?
2008-01-07 14:28 < quanticle> Mike_H: You're listening to songs from 1976?
2008-01-07 14:28 < cimon> Mike_H, remember what is the name of the Donna Summer song they use as the theme of China Beach?
2008-01-07 14:28 < Mike_H> quanticle: Just because it's 2008 doesn't mean we have to listen to songs just from 2008.
2008-01-07 14:28 < Mike_H> Think outside the box.
2008-01-07 14:29 < Mike_H> cimon: "Reflections," and that was by Diana Ross and the Supremes
2008-01-07 14:29 < cimon> Mike_H, well, this is sort of "the projects" type of neighbourhood we are talking about...
2008-01-07 14:29 < quanticle> Mike_H: However, 2008 does mean that songs from 1976 are more than 30 years old. Makes 'em oldies in just about anyone's book
2008-01-07 14:29 < Mike_H> So?
2008-01-07 14:29 < quanticle> Mike_H: Not saying that's bad, but oldies are oldies
2008-01-07 14:29 < cimon> crap, I am shit at remembering the names...
2008-01-07 14:30 < WalKnDude> Bomis creates and hosts web rings around popular search terms wanna chat about netring?
2008-01-07 14:30 * quanticle shudders at the thought of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" becoming an oldie
2008-01-07 14:30 < lc2> quanticle: haha
2008-01-07 14:30 < lc2> that's funny
2008-01-07 14:30 < lc2> i wonder the same thing, like what our grandchildren will think of songs like that
2008-01-07 14:31 < quanticle> lc2: Its not likely to become a "classic", but the possibility is disturbing
2008-01-07 14:31 < UltraMagnus> indeed
2008-01-07 14:31 < quanticle> lc2: I hear that contemporaries of Dickens thought that his novels were pop culture trash as well
2008-01-07 14:31 < WalKnDude> or do you wanna chat about your site on the canidates?
2008-01-07 14:31 < WalKnDude> non for profit
2008-01-07 14:31 < Mike_H> WalKnDude: What the hell are you talking about?
2008-01-07 14:32 < cimon> quanticle: I am currently doing my mandatory "customer service" portion of my two year studies of Library and Information Science...
2008-01-07 14:32 < lc2> quanticle: haha
2008-01-07 14:32 < cimon> So I am a trainee in a library.
2008-01-07 14:32 < Mike_H> cimon: In the US to do a degree like that, you have to be in for five years and after those five years you graduate with a master's
2008-01-07 14:33 < quanticle> cimon: So you're training to be a librarian?
2008-01-07 14:33 < cimon> Mike_H, I could go on for three more years, if I wanted...
2008-01-07 14:33 < WalKnDude> please, do defend your position.
2008-01-07 14:33 < Lycurgus_> "reflections" is c. 1967/8, 40 years
2008-01-07 14:33 * quanticle thinks WalKnDude is failing the Turing test
2008-01-07 14:33 < Mike_H> Defend my position of "what the hell are you talking about?"
2008-01-07 14:33 < Mike_H> I'm not the one spouting shit like a crackhead.
2008-01-07 14:33 < shimgray> quanticle: ho boy yes. Dickens was popularist pulp.
2008-01-07 14:34 < Mike_H> Lycurgus_: 1967. I believe early 1967.
2008-01-07 14:34 < shimgray> Mike_H: Most US MLS are postgraduate, I believe
2008-01-07 14:34 < Mike_H> It was just after they switched the name.
2008-01-07 14:34 < Mike_H> from "The Supremes" to "Diana Ross and..."
2008-01-07 14:34 < shimgray> so they're a postgraduate Masters on top of aun unrelated undergrad course
2008-01-07 14:34 < cimon> Lycurgus_, Somebody wrote a book on the summer of love recently, which includes a picture of a Young Dick Cheney on a motorcycle... I Would give a lot to see that one.
2008-01-07 14:34 < WalKnDude> you on top of bunitos death, don't tell me you don't know what i'm talking about
2008-01-07 14:34 < quanticle> cimon: Was that part of his "other priorities"
2008-01-07 14:35 < cimon> quanticle, eh?
2008-01-07 14:35 < Mike_H> What does that even mean?
2008-01-07 14:35 < Mike_H> "You on top of bunito's death"?
2008-01-07 14:35 < quanticle> cimon: When asked about why he didn't go to Vietnam, Cheney said that he had "other priorities"
2008-01-07 14:35 < SNORLAX> I saw a ron paul poster on a telephone pole today
2008-01-07 14:35 < SNORLAX> I lolled
2008-01-07 14:35 < Mike_H> SNORLAX: Oh shit I have too
2008-01-07 14:35 < Mike_H> it's like
2008-01-07 14:35 < Mike_H> "KNOW RON PAUL?"
2008-01-07 14:35 < quanticle> SNORLAX: Heh. Ron Pole?
2008-01-07 14:36 < Mike_H> and I'm like, yeah, those posters are so informative
2008-01-07 14:36 < quanticle> Mike_H: Even worse is, "Ron Paul: Republican Revolution"
2008-01-07 14:36 < Mike_H> Oh, please, like Ron Paul has a chance in hell
2008-01-07 14:36 < Mike_H> I think it's cute that people think so, though
2008-01-07 14:36 < NotACow> Mike_H: did you see today's xkcd?
2008-01-07 14:36 < Mike_H> no
2008-01-07 14:36 < SNORLAX> Mike_H, maybe WalKnDude meant benazir bhutto
2008-01-07 14:36 < quanticle> NotACow: Yeah
2008-01-07 14:37 < lc2> NotACow: haha
2008-01-07 14:37 < Mike_H> SNORLAX: It was as if he was trying to communicate using Babelfish
2008-01-07 14:37 < Mike_H> it was so weird
2008-01-07 14:37 < cimon> SNORLAX, would be much better if you saw a ron paul poster on a stripper pole, wouldn't it?
2008-01-07 14:37 < NotACow> Mike_H: you should/ it's about ron paul :)
2008-01-07 14:38 < Mike_H> hahaha
2008-01-07 14:38 < SNORLAX> cimon, the porn site I frequent actually has a ron paul banner
2008-01-07 14:38 < quanticle> NotACow: All fanboyism is the same. No matter if it is about politics or Playstations...
2008-01-07 14:38 < NotACow> quanticle: or online encyclopedias :)
2008-01-07 14:38 < quanticle> NotACow: Yep.
2008-01-07 14:39 < Mike_H> lulz
2008-01-07 14:39 < Mike_H> Why do they even try coming back?
2008-01-07 14:39 < quanticle> Mike_H: Who? The Ron Paul people?
2008-01-07 14:39 * Ceiling_Cat wonders if we'll see terabyte hard drives by the end of the year
2008-01-07 14:39 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: We have them now
2008-01-07 14:39 < Ceiling_Cat> BitMicro will begin shipping a 832 gig drive later this year
2008-01-07 14:39 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - do we?
2008-01-07 14:39 < Lycurgus_> at what price?
2008-01-07 14:40 < cimon> Mike_H, I am unsure if I should be sad or resigned that you think Ron Paul hasn't a chance... He really appears ready to call them as he sees them. And doesn't have the same level of quirkyness as Perot used to.
2008-01-07 14:40 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145141
2008-01-07 14:40 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: There's others too
2008-01-07 14:40 < Ceiling_Cat> interesting
2008-01-07 14:40 * Ceiling_Cat wonders who could possibly need that much storage
2008-01-07 14:40 * quanticle raises hand
