2008-01-10 00:13 < Lubaf> Like a sex machine!
2008-01-10 00:13 < Lubaf> JohnReaves: What do you want to do?
2008-01-10 00:13 < JohnReaves> TheWeasel:Most American punk concerts are in someone house
2008-01-10 00:13 < TheWeasel> hah
2008-01-10 00:13 < JohnReaves> Lubaf:I accidentally added a misspelling
2008-01-10 00:14 < Random832> JohnReaves: firefox has a dictionary since when?
2008-01-10 00:14 < Random832> oh - spelling
2008-01-10 00:14 < TheWeasel> most punk concerts here are in run-down bunker-like structures with bad lighting and writings, beer and piss on the wall
2008-01-10 00:14 < TheWeasel> And I heard of friends who thought they saw a punk concert in their local café
2008-01-10 00:14 < Lubaf> JohnReaves: You're screwed, I suppose.
2008-01-10 00:15 < Lubaf> Or you could google for firefox dictionary.
2008-01-10 00:15 < JohnReaves> TheWeasel: "thought"?
2008-01-10 00:15 < TheWeasel> It means I can't expose them to our kind.
2008-01-10 00:15 < Lubaf> And, here's your answer: http://lifehacker.com/software/dictionary/remove-misspelled-words-from-your-firefox-dictionary-244497.php
2008-01-10 00:15 < JohnReaves> Lubaf: Genius!
2008-01-10 00:16 < TheWeasel> if it ain't got the atmosphere, it ain't a punk concert
2008-01-10 00:16 < Lubaf> JohnReaves: Asshole!
2008-01-10 00:16 < Lubaf> Or whatever the punks are calling each other nowdays.
2008-01-10 00:16 < TheWeasel> in punk concerts you have to sleep leaning against the wall while some bloke's dog chews on your shoe
2008-01-10 00:17 < TheWeasel> if you don't like smoke or beer running across the floor, you're in the wrong place
2008-01-10 00:17 < JohnReaves> being covered in beer is a must
2008-01-10 00:17 < Lubaf> Smelling of beer and urine and beery urine is pretty much a given.
2008-01-10 00:17 < TheWeasel> the toilets are far, far worse than the floor
2008-01-10 00:18 < TheWeasel> And blood.
2008-01-10 00:18 < TheWeasel> but they have an oil barrel with coal and some gasoline burning outside where they grill things in a disturbing fashion
2008-01-10 00:19 < TheWeasel> no bleedin' café.
2008-01-10 00:19 < TheWeasel> Except that those "things" are of course vegan
2008-01-10 00:19 < TheWeasel> and everyone always scrounges money or fags off you
2008-01-10 00:19 < TheWeasel> (money for squatting projects)
2008-01-10 00:20 < TheWeasel> that is a punk concert.
2008-01-10 00:20 < Rinn> Is there any particular reason one would actually want to go to these concerts instead of, say, spending a day in prison?
2008-01-10 00:20 < TheWeasel> it gives you more stories than cafés.
2008-01-10 00:20 < TheWeasel> Or prison
2008-01-10 00:20 < Rinn> So would an apocalypse.
2008-01-10 00:21 < TheWeasel> but only for a short time
2008-01-10 00:21 < TheWeasel> just saying that the Relient K people have no idea what a punk concert is.
2008-01-10 00:22 < Paine> have fun ranting?
2008-01-10 00:22 < TheWeasel> That was the end.
2008-01-10 00:22 < Paine> hence why I asked if you had fun
2008-01-10 00:23 < TheWeasel> "had"
2008-01-10 00:23 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-01-10 00:23 < TheWeasel> While you're at it, get Colbie Caillat off my screen
2008-01-10 00:23 < TheWeasel> :-P
2008-01-10 00:24 < Paine> er, who?
2008-01-10 00:24 < Rinn> Colbie Caillat.
2008-01-10 00:24 < TheWeasel> the "starts in my toes, makes me crinkle my nose" girl
2008-01-10 00:25 < Hermana38B_Brawe> Hi All
2008-01-10 00:25 < Hermana38B_Brawe> I went around to Ms 25, my tall, curvaceous beautiful lady friend with the long blond/red hair. It was time for another driving lesson. She greeted me warmly and we sat in her kitchen and chatted over a coffee for a couple of minutes before we hit the road.
2008-01-10 00:25 < Hermana38B_Brawe> I was wearing a white shirt with a coarse print black cross-hatch pattern of thin lines on it, but the patterning still could not hide the fantastic projection and black outline of my favourite Bendon Body Basics bra. Also I had "forgotten" to do up enough shirt buttons, in fact I was a bit naughty because really I had "forgotten" TWO shirt buttons. I had a large triangle of chest flesh exposed and the front centre of my bra was fully exposed
2008-01-10 00:25 < All> Hello!
2008-01-10 00:25 < Hermana38B_Brawe> After the lesson, she was very pleased with her progress (rightfully so) and as I took my leave, walking down her driveway, she walked alongside me, chatting all the while. I don't think she wanted me to leave and I found that thought so flattering. I did say to her not long ago that I would have loved her to be my daughter. I said that on purpose to clarify the nature of the obvious friendship that we have and I think that was well accepted
2008-01-10 00:25 < Random832> !op
2008-01-10 00:25 < Hermana38B_Brawe> My Bendon Body Basics bra is a 38 A cup contour bra, but as I have said in other postings, this particular A cup does project more on me than a D cup in other brands of bra. I love the projection these bras give me (I have about eight of these bras, in white, black, two shades of pink, and blue). When I stand up tall and confident, my fake beauties stick way out proudly and I love the way they look
2008-01-10 00:25 < Random832> !op kick Hermana38B_Brawe
2008-01-10 00:25 < Hermana38B_Brawe> Love
2008-01-10 00:25 < Rinn> Oh, I like these trolls.
2008-01-10 00:25 < Hermana38B_Brawe> Hermana
2008-01-10 00:26 < TheWeasel> that was one of the more pointless trollings lately
2008-01-10 00:27 < Rinn> Having now read it, I'm disappointed.
2008-01-10 00:27 < JohnReaves> I cannot figure out how do get xchat aqua to ping on anything but my nick...
2008-01-10 00:28 < Lubaf> Odd News of the day: "What are you doing here?": man asks wife at brothel http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSL0910395120080109?rpc=64
2008-01-10 00:29 < Rinn> She responded, "Guys."
2008-01-10 00:29 < Paine> read it on fark about 12 hours ago, still funny.
2008-01-10 00:29 < Luna-San> Two points for Rinn
2008-01-10 00:29 < Paine> I think they're polish aren't they?
2008-01-10 00:29 < Paine> yes...
2008-01-10 00:30 < TheWeasel> so left, two! three, so left, two! three!, where your place, comrade, is... come join the worker's unity front for a workman too you are
2008-01-10 00:30 < Luna-San> Apparently they're getting a divorce, now?
2008-01-10 00:31 < TheWeasel> thats worth a short story
2008-01-10 00:31 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-01-10 00:32 < Paine> Someone made a joke about a family discount earlier too.
2008-01-10 00:33 < Paine> heh, bring your daughter to work day...
2008-01-10 00:34 < TheWeasel> truly a family-run business
2008-01-10 00:34 < NedScott> I've rewritten this arbcom statement too many times
2008-01-10 00:34 < NedScott> I feel like giving up
2008-01-10 00:34 < gratiot> :O
2008-01-10 00:34 * NedScott bangs his head on the desk
2008-01-10 00:35 < White_Cat> head banging has been universaly ruled to be unhealthy
2008-01-10 00:36 < Paine> Queen fans shake their heads in disbelief.
2008-01-10 00:36 < White_Cat> now banging someone elses head
2008-01-10 00:36 < White_Cat> thats quite healthy
2008-01-10 00:36 < White_Cat> stress relief
2008-01-10 00:37 * White_Cat uses TheWeasel's head
2008-01-10 00:37 < NedScott> ha
2008-01-10 00:37 < NedScott> <div id="watchlist-message"
2008-01-10 00:37 * White_Cat charges TheWeasel for the damage to the wall.
2008-01-10 00:37 < NedScott> works outside of the watchlist notice page
2008-01-10 00:37 < NedScott> I mean, of course it would
2008-01-10 00:37 < NedScott> but I never really thought about it
2008-01-10 00:37 < NedScott> I could make my own dismissable messages
2008-01-10 00:38 < TheWeasel> "u lookin at me mate? Oi'll shmash yer fookin face in."
2008-01-10 00:38 * TheWeasel is dizzy
2008-01-10 00:38 * White_Cat watches TheWeasel walk around forming a sine curve
2008-01-10 00:39 < White_Cat> o-oo
2008-01-10 00:39 < White_Cat> he just started forming the arcsine?
2008-01-10 00:39 * TheWeasel crashes into the opposite wall
2008-01-10 00:39 < TheWeasel> Point is mute
2008-01-10 00:39 < White_Cat> my god he fased to the tangent
2008-01-10 00:40 * White_Cat watches TheWeasel walk around the planet repetitively
2008-01-10 00:40 < Paine> hm
2008-01-10 00:40 < Paine> I just found a book in my room
2008-01-10 00:40 < Paine> "Is it just me or is everything shit?"
2008-01-10 00:40 < White_Cat> Paine is it porn?
2008-01-10 00:40 < Paine> porn doesn't come in books
2008-01-10 00:40 < Paine> too hard to wipe down the pages.
2008-01-10 00:40 < White_Cat> sure it does
2008-01-10 00:41 < Rinn> That's a book? I thought it was an audio tape.
2008-01-10 00:49 < CableModem> what up everyone
2008-01-10 00:49 < gwern> rollbacks
2008-01-10 00:50 < CableModem> rollbacks?
2008-01-10 00:50 < gwern> yes.
2008-01-10 00:50 < CableModem> well, that sounds like fun
2008-01-10 00:50 < CableModem> unless by roll back, you're talking about what happens on a hill with your car, espcially with manual transmission
2008-01-10 00:50 < CableModem> >.>
2008-01-10 00:51 * gwern means wikidrama
2008-01-10 00:51 < NedScott> zomg
2008-01-10 00:51 < NedScott> drama as you ask
2008-01-10 00:51 < NedScott> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_rollback#Full_stop_needed
2008-01-10 00:51 < gwern> but I'm sure you can read about that yourself
2008-01-10 00:51 < CableModem> no no i dont need drama
2008-01-10 00:51 < CableModem> >.>
2008-01-10 00:51 * gwern points out whom it was that asked for drama
2008-01-10 00:51 < NedScott> oh
2008-01-10 00:52 < NedScott> I head that as "gwern needs wikidrama"
2008-01-10 00:52 < gwern> NedScott: no, I already got my rollback
2008-01-10 00:52 < gwern> NedScott: incidentally, on which of the protection criterion are you asking for protection under?
2008-01-10 00:52 < NedScott> don't be suprised when rollback gets rolledback
2008-01-10 00:53 < Rinn> Yeah, usually full stops are useful with rollbacks.
2008-01-10 00:53 < gwern> well, I'm just happy to have my rollback back for a bit
2008-01-10 00:53 < gwern> I should probably go use it some
2008-01-10 00:53 < j__> Too busy arguing over rules and regulations for a feature newly implemented without rules and regulations. Ironic?
2008-01-10 00:54 < NedScott> that's the other thing that bothered me
2008-01-10 00:54 < NedScott> lets say that rollback had 100% support
2008-01-10 00:54 < gwern> j__: freedom cannot be defended abroad by abandoning it at home...
2008-01-10 00:54 < NedScott> would we have just done this like we did today
2008-01-10 00:54 < NedScott> just throw together a bunch of half-baked ideas
2008-01-10 00:54 < NedScott> as soon as word got out that the feature was on
2008-01-10 00:54 < NedScott> 500 promotions later "oh wait guys, we didn't think of this"
2008-01-10 00:54 < NedScott> *facepalm*
2008-01-10 00:55 < j__> exactly
2008-01-10 00:55 < Paine> yay drama!
2008-01-10 00:56 < Paine> It's like our very own version of eastenders, except with more nerds, less gangsters, and it's a lot more boring :(
2008-01-10 00:56 < NedScott> I wasn't even that bothered by rollback until I saw how things were handled today
2008-01-10 01:14 < Mike_H> <Paine> It's like our very own version of eastenders, except with more nerds, less gangsters, and it's a lot more boring :(
2008-01-10 01:14 < Mike_H> More boring than EastEnders?
2008-01-10 01:14 < Mike_H> IMPOSSIBLE
2008-01-10 01:14 < Paine> you'd think so..
2008-01-10 01:34 * Paine plays some bad religion for TheWeasel
2008-01-10 01:34 < Paine> it was in my punk collection, god knows why... that's where my avril lavigne goes. :/
2008-01-10 01:39 < RobJ1981> In admins here, have some time to look at a sock puppet case?
2008-01-10 01:39 * Mike_H NP: The Cardigans - Lovefool (1996)
2008-01-10 01:47 < FastLizard4> Good night, going to bed
2008-01-10 02:00 < Zeos> yes umm hello i have a question
2008-01-10 02:00 < RobJ1981> Ok. What's the question?
2008-01-10 02:00 < JohnReaves> yes?
2008-01-10 02:00 < Rinn> And I have an answer!
2008-01-10 02:00 < Zeos> when will the GNAA article come up?
2008-01-10 02:00 < Rinn> It is, however, most likely entirely unrelated to your question.
2008-01-10 02:00 < JohnReaves> Never probably
2008-01-10 02:00 < Zeos> why not
2008-01-10 02:00 < RobJ1981> What's GNAA?
2008-01-10 02:01 < Zeos> gay nigger association of america www.gnaa.us
2008-01-10 02:01 < Rinn> A group of Congressmen, Rob.
2008-01-10 02:01 < Rinn> Damnit, Zeos.
2008-01-10 02:01 < JohnReaves> RobJ1981: Don't go to the site
2008-01-10 02:02 < JohnReaves> RobJ1981: It's a group of internet trolls
2008-01-10 02:02 < RobJ1981> I wasn't planning to. I rarely click links here.
2008-01-10 02:02 < The359> When they do something worth writing about, Zeos
2008-01-10 02:02 < Rinn> (Hint: There's a reason why the "GNAA" disambiguation is protected)
2008-01-10 02:02 < Zeos> they have
2008-01-10 02:02 < Demi> the GNAA article was deleted; the deletion conversation is in the archives
2008-01-10 02:02 < Zeos> wikipedia mods are racist mods
2008-01-10 02:02 < JohnReaves> nah
2008-01-10 02:02 < Zeos> just because we are gay niggers that we can't have an article?
2008-01-10 02:03 < The359> This is pretty weak by trolling standards
2008-01-10 02:03 < Neskaya> Thank you JohnReaves.
2008-01-10 02:03 < Zeos> 0 divided by 0 is o shi-
2008-01-10 02:03 < Demi> i don't think i've ever seen anything sadder
2008-01-10 02:03 < Demi> it would be like some twelve-year-old rolling a cigarette pack up in the sleeve of their white T-shirt and slicking their hair back to look cool
2008-01-10 02:04 < JohnReaves> hmm, laggy
2008-01-10 02:10 < White_Cat> Demi well
2008-01-10 02:10 < White_Cat> white T-shirt?
2008-01-10 02:10 < White_Cat> Maybe in KKK
2008-01-10 02:10 * White_Cat traps Demi into a KKK robe
2008-01-10 02:10 < White_Cat> why does the KKK outfit look like sperm?
2008-01-10 02:13 < The359> Gotta love cum
2008-01-10 02:14 < NedScott> any advice before I post this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ned_Scott/sandbox4
2008-01-10 02:14 < Luna-San> I wish they would just go
2008-01-10 02:16 < Luna-San> I'm not sure if ArbCom can deal with this sort of issue, but that's probably not the sort of feedback you're looking for. Beyond that... nothing jumps out that I'd recommend changing in the statement.
2008-01-10 02:16 < Luna-San> Wait, I found something... in the list of parties, Until 1=2 has a different template than the others for some reason
2008-01-10 02:17 < NedScott> yeah
2008-01-10 02:17 < NedScott> his username breaks the template
2008-01-10 02:17 < NedScott> I'm going to make the rest of it manually
2008-01-10 02:18 < Luna-San> Oh, I see. {{admin|1=name}} will work for names that have an '=' in them
2008-01-10 02:18 < Luna-San> Or any similar situation with template params getting screwed up in that way -- doesn't show up too often
2008-01-10 02:18 < NedScott> ah
2008-01-10 02:19 < NedScott> thanks!
2008-01-10 02:19 < NedScott> that was driving me insane
2008-01-10 02:19 < Luna-San> Of course. :) Yeah, it's one of those obscure things
2008-01-10 02:21 < Luna-San> The particular list of parties could probably be argued up and down the street. Man, that'd be "fun"
2008-01-10 02:21 < Luna-San> Would JeLuf be a party, since he flipped the switch?
2008-01-10 02:22 < White_Cat> The359 "gotta love cum" thats all that KKK means to you?
2008-01-10 02:22 < NedScott> no, since it's been brought up that havinga feature turned on doesn't mean much to the policy to use it
2008-01-10 02:22 < White_Cat> Dont answer to that
2008-01-10 02:22 < Luna-San> Ah, I see
2008-01-10 02:22 < The359> Yes
2008-01-10 02:22 < White_Cat> NedScott a fine advice
2008-01-10 02:22 < White_Cat> drop it
2008-01-10 02:22 < The359> That's all there is to them
2008-01-10 02:22 < White_Cat> reverting has been done since wikipedia existed
2008-01-10 02:22 < White_Cat> any user can do it
2008-01-10 02:23 < NedScott> ah yes, the golden advice of wikipedia
2008-01-10 02:23 < NedScott> put your head in the sand
2008-01-10 02:23 < White_Cat> this has nothing to do with sand
2008-01-10 02:23 < White_Cat> fine
2008-01-10 02:23 < White_Cat> go ahead and dont listen to me
2008-01-10 02:23 < White_Cat> why am I even advising you
2008-01-10 02:24 < White_Cat> The359 you have a sick mind
2008-01-10 02:24 < White_Cat> I just hope you dont live close to me
2008-01-10 02:24 < NedScott> Doc, Carcharoth, ClassCobra, and Gurch all indicated that they wouldn't mind being parties
2008-01-10 02:24 < NedScott> the others..
2008-01-10 02:24 < NedScott> I'm not sure
2008-01-10 02:25 < CableModem> lol cum
2008-01-10 02:25 < NedScott> it's not like anyone did anything wrong
2008-01-10 02:25 < NedScott> because they didn't
2008-01-10 02:25 < NedScott> I mean, no one should be punished for this
2008-01-10 02:25 < gurch> lol
2008-01-10 02:25 < CableModem> hey gurch
2008-01-10 02:25 < gurch> I only added myself because I'm bored
2008-01-10 02:25 < NedScott> haha
2008-01-10 02:25 < gurch> but watching ArbCom and the devs deck it out in the ring sounds like entertainment
2008-01-10 02:26 < gurch> my money's on the devs
2008-01-10 02:26 < CableModem> hahaha
2008-01-10 02:26 < gurch> *vibber, vibber, vibber*
2008-01-10 02:26 < NedScott> Devs aren't a factor for this
2008-01-10 02:26 < gurch> well I think they are
2008-01-10 02:26 < NedScott> the focus is going to totally be on en.wiki
2008-01-10 02:26 < gurch> rollback was only applied to en.wiki
2008-01-10 02:26 < gurch> the rest of the wikis don't have it yet
2008-01-10 02:26 < White_Cat> gurch is a troll
2008-01-10 02:26 < White_Cat> dont mind him
2008-01-10 02:26 < gurch> :O
2008-01-10 02:26 < CableModem> hi White_Cat
2008-01-10 02:27 < White_Cat> great
2008-01-10 02:27 < RobJ1981> What the hell did gurch say to be a troll?
2008-01-10 02:27 < White_Cat> Now I am talking to hardware!
2008-01-10 02:27 < gurch> NedScott: well once the devs turned the feature on, en.wiki's reaction was inevitable
2008-01-10 02:27 < NedScott> yes
2008-01-10 02:27 < NedScott> which was the problem
2008-01-10 02:27 < gurch> NedScott: the way this community works things could not have gone any other way
2008-01-10 02:27 * CableModem pokes White_Cat with CapNit
2008-01-10 02:27 < gurch> NedScott: there's nothing arbcom can do about that.
2008-01-10 02:27 < White_Cat> imagine people reverting
2008-01-10 02:27 < White_Cat> OMG
2008-01-10 02:27 < NedScott> there's people who supported the feature that were upset about htis
2008-01-10 02:27 < gurch> NedScott: you can't legislate that people change their behaviour.
2008-01-10 02:28 < NedScott> true
2008-01-10 02:28 < gurch> NedScott: I know that. still nothing arbcom can do
2008-01-10 02:28 < NedScott> arbcom doesn't do anything anyways
2008-01-10 02:28 < White_Cat> arbcom will only rule that people should work together under the umbrella of happy fuzzies
2008-01-10 02:28 < CableModem> haha
2008-01-10 02:28 < gurch> NedScott: what exactly would their findings be? "everyone acted like idiots, please don't do it again"?
2008-01-10 02:28 < NedScott> the point is to use the case as a structured discussion
2008-01-10 02:28 < gurch> NedScott: indeed they don't do anything. but you're the one filing the case
2008-01-10 02:28 < gurch> NedScott: too late
2008-01-10 02:29 < gurch> NedScott: everyone who cares has discussed the issue to death already
2008-01-10 02:29 < White_Cat> I nominate arbcom out of the dispute resolution process since they almost never resolve anything
2008-01-10 02:29 < gurch> NedScott: that's if arbcom even accept the case, which I doubt.
2008-01-10 02:29 < NedScott> it's still an issue
2008-01-10 02:29 < White_Cat> I wager 1000$ that arbcom will shove the case
2008-01-10 02:29 < NedScott> the problem hasn't gone away
2008-01-10 02:29 < gurch> on the contrary
2008-01-10 02:29 < White_Cat> make that $100,000
2008-01-10 02:29 < gurch> if everyone stopped arguing, I believe there would be no problem.
2008-01-10 02:30 < White_Cat> gurch imagine that
2008-01-10 02:30 < NedScott> bullshit
2008-01-10 02:30 < gurch> several people opposed the proposal on the grounds that it would cause drama
2008-01-10 02:30 < White_Cat> you just solved the Israel-Palestine dispute
2008-01-10 02:30 < gurch> not realizing that the only drama was caused by their opposition
2008-01-10 02:30 < NedScott> others, such as myself, opposed it because of the high risk of dispute
2008-01-10 02:30 < NedScott> err
2008-01-10 02:30 < NedScott> abuse
2008-01-10 02:30 < NedScott> I don't care about BURO or drama
2008-01-10 02:30 < gurch> NedScott: the process has been in use for several hours and I see *no* drama resulting from the process itself, whatsoever
2008-01-10 02:30 < White_Cat> NedScott people abuse twinkle just fine
2008-01-10 02:30 < gurch> NedScott: only pages and pages of "omg why was this implemented?"
2008-01-10 02:31 < NedScott> cat: exactly
2008-01-10 02:31 < White_Cat> NedScott like TTN
2008-01-10 02:31 < NedScott> and twinkle's usage is pretty limited
2008-01-10 02:31 < White_Cat> mass blanking articles and then revert waring over it
2008-01-10 02:31 < NedScott> cat: imagine 50 TTN's, then
2008-01-10 02:31 < White_Cat> NedScott twinkle can revert any page
2008-01-10 02:31 < gurch> NedScott: I see one user with a 3RR block a month ago complaining they weren't approved, other than that the process itself seems to have worked flawlessly
2008-01-10 02:31 < White_Cat> if we had 50 TTNs we would be left with one article
2008-01-10 02:31 < White_Cat> and thats the main page
2008-01-10 02:32 < NedScott> which makes me surprised you don't seem concerned
2008-01-10 02:32 < gurch> what is a TTN?
2008-01-10 02:32 < NedScott> people are not going to stop at vandalism
2008-01-10 02:32 < White_Cat> TTN is an anti-pesticite chemical
2008-01-10 02:32 < NedScott> they're going to use it for personal disputes
2008-01-10 02:32 < White_Cat> like DDT
2008-01-10 02:32 < White_Cat> bad for the enviorment
2008-01-10 02:32 < gurch> how does that have anything to do wtih rollback?
2008-01-10 02:32 < NedScott> because it makes it easy
2008-01-10 02:32 < NedScott> and when you're mad, in the heat of the moment
2008-01-10 02:32 < White_Cat> NedScott like they dont revert war w/o the tool
2008-01-10 02:32 < NedScott> you don't give someone a big red button
2008-01-10 02:32 < gurch> uh, ok I'm confused
2008-01-10 02:32 < gurch> never mind.
2008-01-10 02:32 < NedScott> they do, but much much slower
2008-01-10 02:32 < White_Cat> it makes it no more easier
2008-01-10 02:33 < NedScott> yes it odes
2008-01-10 02:33 < NedScott> you can revert tons of edits in one swipe with rollback
2008-01-10 02:33 < White_Cat> NedScott I have seen multiple reverts in minutes on occasions
2008-01-10 02:33 < White_Cat> NedScott like vandalism
2008-01-10 02:33 < White_Cat> people can move pages
2008-01-10 02:33 < White_Cat> you realise what kind of a mess that can create?
2008-01-10 02:33 < Rinn> A deliciously large one!
2008-01-10 02:33 < NedScott> this is an argument to make it easier?
2008-01-10 02:34 < White_Cat> NedScott we grant users the move button
2008-01-10 02:34 < NedScott> but they can't move 20 pages at once
2008-01-10 02:34 < White_Cat> which can be 1000 times more destructive than the revert button
2008-01-10 02:34 < White_Cat> normal users or even annons had the revert button since early 2005s
2008-01-10 02:34 < White_Cat> probably much earlier
2008-01-10 02:34 * Rinn moves [[Scientology]] to [[Horseshit]] and vice versa
2008-01-10 02:34 < gurch> NedScott: uh, huh?
2008-01-10 02:34 < White_Cat> NedScott you obviously dont know about WillyonWHeels
2008-01-10 02:34 < gurch> NedScott: you can't revert 20 pages at once either
2008-01-10 02:35 < White_Cat> who moved hundereds of articles
2008-01-10 02:35 < RobJ1981> It's all in the eye of the beholder White Cat. Many people can argue revert is the worst, while others will say rollback is, while others say the move feature is.
2008-01-10 02:35 < NedScott> gurch: rollback can
2008-01-10 02:35 < gurch> NedScott: no, it can't.
2008-01-10 02:35 < White_Cat> NedScott I am an admin on commons
2008-01-10 02:35 < White_Cat> I can only revert the edits of the last contributor
2008-01-10 02:35 < gurch> NedScott: one rollback link reverts all edits to a page by the last contributor. that is, however, only one edit, however far back you revert.
2008-01-10 02:35 < White_Cat> it just is faster as in I dont need to load the page
2008-01-10 02:36 < Rinn> Can you rollback rollbacks?
2008-01-10 02:36 < gurch> yes
2008-01-10 02:36 < gurch> duh
2008-01-10 02:36 < White_Cat> yes you can
2008-01-10 02:36 < White_Cat> it makes admins something less significant
2008-01-10 02:37 < gurch> lol
2008-01-10 02:37 < gurch> not from their point of view :P
2008-01-10 02:37 < White_Cat> gurch admins are always the scum of the earth
2008-01-10 02:37 * White_Cat <- scum
2008-01-10 02:38 < White_Cat> hello Krimpet
2008-01-10 02:39 < Krimpet> hello
2008-01-10 02:39 < White_Cat> Krimpet were you a female?
2008-01-10 02:39 < Rinn> For two whole years!
2008-01-10 02:39 < Krimpet> "were"?
2008-01-10 02:39 < White_Cat> Krimpet since you were born
2008-01-10 02:39 < Rinn> Krimpet is an anagarm of "perm kit."
2008-01-10 02:40 < White_Cat> Rinn soo?
2008-01-10 02:40 < White_Cat> My nick means a white cat
2008-01-10 02:40 < White_Cat> doesnt make me a pussy
2008-01-10 02:40 < Krimpet> Rinn: "Dr. Kim Terp" is my alias for performing medicine without a license. :)
2008-01-10 02:40 < White_Cat> Krimpet narcotics?
2008-01-10 02:41 < Rinn> So "Rinn" isn't an anagram of anything. :(
2008-01-10 02:42 < White_Cat> Rinn is probably the name of a DearS
2008-01-10 02:42 < White_Cat> Krimpet pm
2008-01-10 02:43 < White_Cat> tawker!

2008-01-10 02:47 < tawker> its confusing
2008-01-10 02:47 < White_Cat> CR is evil
2008-01-10 02:47 < White_Cat> DS!
2008-01-10 02:47 < White_Cat> and by that I mean Nintendo DS and not Daily Show
2008-01-10 02:48 * White_Cat just caught a bishonen
2008-01-10 02:48 < White_Cat> bishonen was added to the wikidex
2008-01-10 02:48 < tawker> White_Cat: what is wikidex?
2008-01-10 02:48 < White_Cat> a device that stores info on wikimon
2008-01-10 02:49 < tawker> go White_Catmon
2008-01-10 02:49 < Luna-San> Am I in the wikidex? o.o
2008-01-10 02:49 < tawker> ScratchPower!
2008-01-10 02:49 < White_Cat> I am not a wikimon
2008-01-10 02:51 < NedScott> -mon prefix is Digimon, not Pokemon
2008-01-10 02:51 < NedScott> for names of monsters
2008-01-10 02:53 < Paine> suffix..?
2008-01-10 02:59 < Luna-San> I was surprised to see that Digimon is still alive and well, last time I saw some cartoons on TV.
2008-01-10 02:59 < Luna-San> Didn't think that would last. o.o
2008-01-10 03:01 < NedScott> err, yes, suffix
2008-01-10 03:02 < NedScott> unless you count monmon
2008-01-10 03:02 < NedScott> (the incest Digimon)
2008-01-10 03:15 < Lubaf> I always wondered:
2008-01-10 03:15 < Lubaf> Was there a video game to go with Digimon, or was it all just a version of The Merch?
2008-01-10 03:19 < Mike_H> <Mike_H> "Sara aswirl with astiffness."
2008-01-10 03:19 < Mike_H> <Mike_H> "Sara also were affected by her heighth."

2008-01-10 05:03 < FrikkinLazer> Really?
2008-01-10 05:03 < FrikkinLazer> Guess I have to be careful in wikipedia channel.
2008-01-10 05:03 < FrikkinLazer> Many people from different countries in here.
2008-01-10 05:03 < Tony_Sidaway> According to German Wikipedia
2008-01-10 05:03 < FrikkinLazer> Is is safe to say 'lol' ?
2008-01-10 05:04 < Mike_H> lol
2008-01-10 05:04 < FrikkinLazer> wait!
2008-01-10 05:04 < FrikkinLazer> not so fast!

2008-01-10 05:05 < Tony_Sidaway> FrikkinLazer: one lol per week, maximum, tightly rationed.
2008-01-10 05:05 < Mike_H> lol lol
2008-01-10 05:06 < Tony_Sidaway> We're heading for a lol-free channel
2008-01-10 05:06 < Tony_Sidaway> Oh bugger I said it twice. I need to be kickbanned.
2008-01-10 05:06 * Luna-San bans Mike_H for wasting valuable lol resources
2008-01-10 05:06 < Mike_H> Luna-San: And here I was hoping for a spanking.
2008-01-10 05:06 < Luna-San> Maybe in PM. >.>
2008-01-10 05:06 < Mike_H> :o
2008-01-10 05:06 < FrikkinLazer> Seriously.
2008-01-10 05:06 < FrikkinLazer> How do you get from lo to screaming jelly babies?
2008-01-10 05:06 < Tony_Sidaway> Luna-San: No secret off-wiki communications!
2008-01-10 05:06 < Tony_Sidaway> Verboten
2008-01-10 05:06 < Luna-San> Oh, right. Damn.
2008-01-10 05:07 < Mike_H> FrikkinLazer: Seriously, as long as you don't sound like a 15-year-old girl using text message (which you don't), you'll be fine.
2008-01-10 05:07 < Tony_Sidaway> FrikkinLazer: you don't. I just type stuff randomly on channel.
2008-01-10 05:07 < Tony_Sidaway> Mike_H: damn right, anybody who sounds like a 15-year-old girl gets automatically kicked for being a FBI agent after dirty old men.
2008-01-10 05:07 < FrikkinLazer> If I said "Like, seriously" you would have a point. Luckily I omitted the "like" bit.
2008-01-10 05:08 < FrikkinLazer> Serioualy.
2008-01-10 05:08 < Mike_H> FrikkinLazer: That's not 15-year-old girl using text message.
2008-01-10 05:08 < Mike_H> think...
2008-01-10 05:08 < Mike_H> "lyk srsly"

2008-01-10 05:09 < FrikkinLazer> Okay sorry Ill knock it off
2008-01-10 05:09 < Mike_H> I think I'm going to watch Cycle 4 of Top Model tonight
2008-01-10 05:09 < Mike_H> and start the episodes when they went to their international destination
2008-01-10 05:09 < Mike_H> out of all of the international places they've been, that was probably the coolest one
2008-01-10 05:10 < Tony_Sidaway> Grimsby fish market?

2008-01-10 05:10 < FrikkinLazer> Rustenburg Sewage Farm?
2008-01-10 05:10 < Mike_H> Tyra went in and announced to the girls, "YOU'RE GOING TO MZOLI'S MEATS!"
2008-01-10 05:10 < Mike_H> and then she stopped herself
2008-01-10 05:10 < Mike_H> as she noticed nobody was cheering
2008-01-10 05:10 < Mike_H> and then said
2008-01-10 05:10 < Mike_H> "YOU'RE GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA!"
2008-01-10 05:10 < Mike_H> Jubilant screams were heard five miles away.
2008-01-10 05:10 < Tony_Sidaway> Mike_H: never mind, that was just me being an agent provocateur and trying to get you to say the L-word.
2008-01-10 05:11 < FrikkinLazer> You know whats werid? Rustenburg Sewage Farm is in South AFrica.
2008-01-10 05:11 < Mike_H> FrikkinLazer: I know. One of my favorite soap opera actresses is from Rustenburg.

2008-01-10 05:14 < Mike_H> Tony_Sidaway: I got it right, didn't I?
2008-01-10 05:14 < The359> so it is still +5?
2008-01-10 05:14 < The359> from EST
2008-01-10 05:14 < Mike_H> The359: We changed over from the other time a while ago
2008-01-10 05:14 < Mike_H> so yes
2008-01-10 05:15 < FrikkinLazer> The other time... the time before the time before... spooky.
2008-01-10 05:17 * The359 should stay up and see the announcements
2008-01-10 05:17 < Mike_H> What announcements?
2008-01-10 05:17 < The359> motorsports stuff
2008-01-10 05:17 < Mike_H> Oh, I was thinking the Queen died or something
2008-01-10 05:18 < Mike_H> haha, I love the headline on BBC right now
2008-01-10 05:18 < Mike_H> Pakistan suicide blast 'kills 22'
2008-01-10 05:18 < The359> wouldn't be much of an announcement
2008-01-10 05:18 < Mike_H> it's seriously in quotes
2008-01-10 05:18 < Mike_H> like they're lying
2008-01-10 05:19 < FrikkinLazer> What are you saying? The queen died in a motorsport accident caused by a suicide blast?
2008-01-10 05:20 < Mike_H> Basically, yeah.
2008-01-10 05:20 < FrikkinLazer> Cool.
2008-01-10 05:20 < Tony_Sidaway> It's 1021 here
2008-01-10 05:20 < FrikkinLazer> Any pics?
2008-01-10 05:21 < Mike_H> No, she's charred beyond recognition.
2008-01-10 05:21 < Mike_H> They had to use dental records to identify her.
2008-01-10 05:21 < Mike_H> They were just that jagged.
2008-01-10 05:21 < FrikkinLazer> I was going to say the l word... not sure if I can though.
2008-01-10 05:21 < Mike_H> Princess Anne helped.
2008-01-10 05:22 < FrikkinLazer> Impossible! Shes right here.
2008-01-10 05:22 < Tony_Sidaway> In the UK we use GMT during the winter months and then one hour forward for summer.
2008-01-10 05:22 < Tony_Sidaway> which we call BST (British Summer Time)
2008-01-10 05:22 < FrikkinLazer> How long does that last? 2 weeks?
2008-01-10 05:23 < Mike_H> I love the BBC America schedule
2008-01-10 05:23 < Tony_Sidaway> Dunno. Something got in my eye last time and I missed it.
2008-01-10 05:23 < Mike_H> In the daytime it's seriously six straight hours of shit shows like "Cash in the Attic" and "Changing Rooms"
2008-01-10 05:24 < Tony_Sidaway> Mike_H: you're Americans, dammit, you're not supposed to be in the house watching TV when you should be chained to your desk slaving away.
2008-01-10 05:24 < FrikkinLazer> True that.
2008-01-10 05:24 < Mike_H> 1:00 PM
2008-01-10 05:24 < Mike_H>
2008-01-10 05:24 < Mike_H> Cash in the Attic - Episode 10
2008-01-10 05:24 < Mike_H> blah
2008-01-10 05:24 < Mike_H> 2:00 PM
2008-01-10 05:24 < Mike_H>
2008-01-10 05:24 < Mike_H> Bargain Hunt - Ep. 17 Peterborough 37
2008-01-10 05:24 < Mike_H> BLAH
2008-01-10 05:24 < FrikkinLazer> Hey my mom likes that show.
2008-01-10 05:25 < FrikkinLazer> But then... she also likes "little miracles".
2008-01-10 05:25 < Mike_H> and then at night they show stuff like that Hell's Kitchen bitch in his new show
2008-01-10 05:25 < Mike_H> and some "Catherine Tate Show"
2008-01-10 05:25 < Tony_Sidaway> I hate all those crappy shows. Especially Antiques road show
2008-01-10 05:25 < Mike_H> whatever that is
2008-01-10 05:25 < Tony_Sidaway> Mike_H: a bit like Little Britain
2008-01-10 05:26 < Tony_Sidaway> The star, Catherine Tate, is also in Doctor Who in the new season.
2008-01-10 05:26 < Mike_H> Isn't Little Britain the one with the loud tacky crazy bitches?
2008-01-10 05:26 < Mike_H> If I wanted that, why don't I just turn on Deirdre Barlow?
2008-01-10 05:26 < FrikkinLazer> No thats Brittian in general.
2008-01-10 05:26 < Tony_Sidaway> Yes she plays a succession of loud tacky crazy bitches.
2008-01-10 05:27 < Tony_Sidaway> I'm putting on Secret Army at 1100. It's from a different era.
2008-01-10 05:28 < FrikkinLazer> You lost me. What are you talking about?
2008-01-10 05:28 < Mike_H> Tony_Sidaway: ITV removed all Corrie videos from YouTube
2008-01-10 05:28 < Mike_H> which kind of sucks, because not all the fans of that show are in the UK
2008-01-10 05:28 < Mike_H> Americans can't see it at all
2008-01-10 05:28 < Tony_Sidaway> Another titanic blow for civilization, if you ask me.
2008-01-10 05:29 < Tony_Sidaway> I hope the BBC follows suit and removes all the EastEnders trash
2008-01-10 05:29 < FrikkinLazer> I have absolutely no idea what the hell you people are talking about.
2008-01-10 05:29 < Messedrocker> Well at least you don't have a writer's strike
2008-01-10 05:29 < Mike_H> Tony_Sidaway: Damn it, Sarah Lou's wedding dress was lit on fire last month on Corrie
2008-01-10 05:29 < Mike_H> and I missed it
2008-01-10 05:29 < Mike_H> because of YouTube
2008-01-10 05:29 < Luna-San> Messedrocker: :'(
2008-01-10 05:30 < Mike_H> I hate Sarah Lou. I would have loved to see her on fire.
2008-01-10 05:30 < Tony_Sidaway> What is this writer's strike? I see no shortage of new Hollywood movies.
2008-01-10 05:30 < Messedrocker> Luna-San, me having to wake up at 4:30 AM to study for math because I'm at risk of failing the course is even more :'(
2008-01-10 05:30 < Messedrocker> Tony_Sidaway, that's because they've already been written
2008-01-10 05:30 < Mike_H> I love how the Brits complain that their soaps are getting to be too much like American soaps, and then they do a story like this one. Even American soaps haven't lit someone's wedding dress on fire while they were in it.
2008-01-10 05:30 < Messedrocker> No *new* things are being written.
2008-01-10 05:30 < Luna-San> Messedrocker: That also sounds problematic. o.o Best of luck.
2008-01-10 05:30 < Messedrocker> Also, I don't know if film writers are WGA members.
2008-01-10 05:31 < Messedrocker> Luna-San, my plan is akin to loading software instructions into RAM. I'm loading math into short-term memory
2008-01-10 05:31 < Messedrocker> because my test is in two and a half hours
2008-01-10 05:31 < Rinn> I hope WGA extends to film writers.
2008-01-10 05:31 < Mike_H> Messedrocker: they're not
2008-01-10 05:31 < Luna-San> But are you going for space or time efficiency? *nerd*
2008-01-10 05:31 < Rinn> I'm getting tired of hearing people talk about movies I've never heard of.
2008-01-10 05:33 < Mike_H> I don't like this gay character on Corrie
2008-01-10 05:33 < Mike_H> he is such a stereotype
2008-01-10 05:33 < Messedrocker> Luna-San, neither
2008-01-10 05:33 < Messedrocker> I'm going for studying as close to my quiz as possible so that I still have stuff in my head
2008-01-10 05:33 < Messedrocker> And out of nowhere I developed a system for annotating my homework
2008-01-10 05:33 < The359> I liked the bit on the Daily Show with the British reporter they have
2008-01-10 05:34 < The359> Saying he's part of the Guild, but he's on a Visa, so it's illegal for him to strike
2008-01-10 05:34 < Messedrocker> problems which contain tricky things that i caught but barely (and probably won't catch in the future since i won't have the answers at my disposal) get highlighted in blue so i can pay extra attention to them
2008-01-10 05:34 < Messedrocker> notes relating to the work itself are in green ink
2008-01-10 05:34 < Messedrocker> things i have to ask the teacher about are marked with a line in the margin
2008-01-10 05:35 * Messedrocker does all his work in Microsoft OneNote)
2008-01-10 05:35 < FrikkinLazer> Quick question: Where does the #wikipedia challen fit into your annotation system?
2008-01-10 05:35 < FrikkinLazer> *channel
2008-01-10 05:36 < Rinn> Yay, the seeder showed up again.
2008-01-10 05:36 < Rinn> Now I can download at <1 KB/s once more!
2008-01-10 05:37 < Rinn> And laugh at the two peers who aren't getting anything from the seeder thus leaving me always a fraction of a percent closer to complete than them.
2008-01-10 05:38 * Rinn is .01% superior
2008-01-10 05:38 < Rinn> I could throttle my upload and leave them in the dust!
2008-01-10 05:40 < Rinn> It's 4:40 AM and I'm spending my time watching my Bittorrent statusbar.
2008-01-10 05:40 < Rinn> :(
2008-01-10 05:53 < Sawblade5> Is there aynone here that xan delete a page for me
2008-01-10 05:53 < Sawblade5> tha can delete a page I just created for me.
2008-01-10 05:54 < Rinn> I can't delete pages, but I most certainly can sit here idly!
2008-01-10 05:54 < Luna-San> If you're the sole editor, you could tag it with {{db-author}}
2008-01-10 05:55 < Rinn> I'm afraid my idling won't help you much, though.
2008-01-10 05:55 < Sawblade5> Listed
2008-01-10 05:55 < Sawblade5> Its the only page in category.
2008-01-10 05:56 < Rinn> What page is it? I could vandalize it for you.
2008-01-10 05:56 < Sawblade5> I messed up be creating it as I need to move a page there
2008-01-10 06:00 < FrikkinLazer> Rinn: Can I join you in your sitting idly.. ness?
2008-01-10 06:01 < Rinn> Surely!
2008-01-10 06:01 * Rinn tosses the cat off the seat next to her
2008-01-10 06:04 * FrikkinLazer tests the me function
2008-01-10 06:04 * FrikkinLazer sits down next to Rinn.
2008-01-10 06:05 * FrikkinLazer idles
