2008-01-10 19:35 < The359> At least they're not Poles
2008-01-10 19:35 < Weaselosaurus> or maybe this channel is run by nationalistic Englishmen
2008-01-10 19:36 < Rinn> What's +r?

2008-01-10 19:38 < bumm13> well, we're on IRC, so.....
2008-01-10 19:38 * Weaselosaurus looks for a timestamp
2008-01-10 19:38 < Lycurgus> everybody knows it's 4705.
2008-01-10 19:38 < Weaselosaurus> thank you sir
2008-01-10 19:38 < JohnReaves2> this X-Chat sucks
2008-01-10 19:38 * The359 : Thursday January 10 2008 Current time is 7:38:19pm -0500 GMT
2008-01-10 19:38 < bumm13> it's at least 1988 ;)
2008-01-10 19:38 < Weaselosaurus> Except if you're Jewish.
2008-01-10 19:38 < JohnReaves2> chanserv.py won't stay loaded
2008-01-10 19:38 < Weaselosaurus> Or follow the Juche calendar.
2008-01-10 19:38 < bumm13> I encountered the Chinese Zodiac yesterday
2008-01-10 19:39 < bumm13> yuhhh;
2008-01-10 19:39 < Lycurgus> for muslims it's not yet 1500.
2008-01-10 19:39 < bumm13> (darn cat ;p )
2008-01-10 19:39 < Weaselosaurus> Did you run awy?
2008-01-10 19:39 < Weaselosaurus> oh
2008-01-10 19:39 * Weaselosaurus is a pig
2008-01-10 19:39 < bumm13> the food was excellent ;)
2008-01-10 19:39 < Weaselosaurus> But then I'm male, so how could I not
2008-01-10 19:40 * Lycurgus would like to hear more about the ladyboys.
2008-01-10 19:40 * Weaselosaurus once was told "you were born into the perpetrator role"
2008-01-10 19:40 < Weaselosaurus> I pulled out of the far-left around that time
2008-01-10 19:40 < Weaselosaurus> I was 18
2008-01-10 19:40 * bumm13 = {{`'.'`}}
2008-01-10 19:41 < Lycurgus> and now you're fairly far advanced on a neo-con trajectory?
2008-01-10 19:41 < cAsia> hi
2008-01-10 19:41 < bumm13> hi
2008-01-10 19:41 < Weaselosaurus> Not at all
2008-01-10 19:41 < Weaselosaurus> I just didn't want to be called a "rapist by default" any more
2008-01-10 19:41 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-10 19:41 < Messedrocker> far-left people are now rapists by default?
2008-01-10 19:41 < Messedrocker> i take offense to that!
2008-01-10 19:41 < Weaselosaurus> no, all men are
2008-01-10 19:41 < Messedrocker> (though i'm not far-left)
2008-01-10 19:42 < Weaselosaurus> the far-left is further left than Bill O'Reilly dreams of.
2008-01-10 19:42 * bumm13 whacks Messedrocker over the head with a rubber videogame console
2008-01-10 19:42 < Messedrocker> rubber?
2008-01-10 19:42 < bumm13> :)
2008-01-10 19:42 < Messedrocker> what the hell video game console is made from RUBBER
2008-01-10 19:42 < shimgray> http://www.theonion.com/content/opinion/i_got_what_america_needs_right - ah, the Onion lives up to its great standards
2008-01-10 19:42 < bumm13> if it wasn't, your head would hurt :P
2008-01-10 19:42 < ^MoNgOnDoW^Off> Weaselosaurus is a rapist

2008-01-10 19:43 < The359> We're all rapists
2008-01-10 19:43 < The359> that's why we're here
2008-01-10 19:43 < Weaselosaurus> Area Man Still Thinks Watergate Break-in Was The Right Thing To Do
2008-01-10 19:43 < The359> It's a convention
2008-01-10 19:44 < bumm13> Weaselosaurus - :#
2008-01-10 19:44 < Weaselosaurus> Especially if you live near G. Gordon Liddy.
2008-01-10 19:45 < Messedrocker> shimgray, did Jimmy Carter actually write that?
2008-01-10 19:45 < bumm13> hmm, Sir Edmund Hillary died
2008-01-10 19:45 < Weaselosaurus> aw
2008-01-10 19:45 < Weaselosaurus> he was badass
2008-01-10 19:45 < Weaselosaurus> or buduss
2008-01-10 19:45 < Weaselosaurus> as the New Zealanders say
2008-01-10 19:45 < Weaselosaurus> or maybe bidiss
2008-01-10 19:45 < Weaselosaurus> I don't remember
2008-01-10 19:45 < shimgray> Messedrocker: I'll give you one guess.
2008-01-10 19:46 < Weaselosaurus> Can he take the 50/50 joker?
2008-01-10 19:46 < shimgray> bedess? or that might be SethEfricen
2008-01-10 19:46 < Weaselosaurus> New Zealand vowels are a quaint and curious thing
2008-01-10 19:46 < Weaselosaurus> (sorry for the Poe quote)
2008-01-10 19:47 < Weaselosaurus> "...which he felt emphasized the music too heavily and did not contain quality drama."
2008-01-10 19:48 < Weaselosaurus> the adjectivization of "quality" again
2008-01-10 19:48 < Weaselosaurus> :-(
2008-01-10 19:49 < Rinn> That's some quality adjectivization.
2008-01-10 19:50 < Weaselosaurus> "we spent some quality time" sounds incredibly soulless
2008-01-10 19:51 < Lycurgus> hey the Village Voice says Bloomberg is going to run. I stand corrected to whoever said he would here.
2008-01-10 19:51 < Weaselosaurus> I've heard that
2008-01-10 19:52 < Dtobias> Sir Edmund Hillary Rodham Clinton
2008-01-10 19:52 < Weaselosaurus> if he really does, I'll quit supporting Edwards
2008-01-10 19:53 < shimgray> bit late now
2008-01-10 19:53 < bumm13> Dtobias: that's horrid
2008-01-10 19:53 < Weaselosaurus> I think Obama is pretty much the only one that can pull it off, as Bloomberg is too close to Clinton
2008-01-10 19:53 < Weaselosaurus> principle of the ice vendors on the beach
2008-01-10 19:54 < Messedrocker> shimgray: Yes?
2008-01-10 19:55 < shimgray> Messedrocker: ?
2008-01-10 19:55 < Lycurgus> he'll run as an indepedent, only thing he could do
2008-01-10 19:56 < Messedrocker> "I'll give you one guess"
2008-01-10 19:56 < Weaselosaurus> Messedrocker: You're right, but hey, he was drunk.
2008-01-10 19:57 < CakeProphet__> :o
2008-01-10 19:57 < shimgray> ah, right
2008-01-10 19:57 < shimgray> you didn't guess :-)
2008-01-10 19:58 < Dtobias> NOTICE: Wikipedia will be demolished in five minutes to make room for an intergalactic Internet bypass.
2008-01-10 19:58 < Weaselosaurus> Dtobias: Better start drinking
2008-01-10 19:58 < Dtobias> Advance notice of these plans have been on file at [[WP:VOGONPLANNINGDEPARTMENT]].
2008-01-10 19:58 < The359> where's the funny?
2008-01-10 19:59 < Weaselosaurus> Adams references are funny by definition
2008-01-10 19:59 < Lycurgus> or at least they were
2008-01-10 19:59 < Lycurgus> maybe 20 years ago
2008-01-10 20:00 < The359> Only in their original form
2008-01-10 20:00 < Lycurgus> or amybe I confuse "funny" and "hip"
2008-01-10 20:00 < Weaselosaurus> on the internet, hipness is rather less volatile than in real life
2008-01-10 20:00 < Weaselosaurus> I guess
2008-01-10 20:00 < CutMeOwnThroat> The359: guess the funny is on the other side of the earth... can't be seen from here
2008-01-10 20:01 < Weaselosaurus> AH
2008-01-10 20:01 < Weaselosaurus> stupidity
2008-01-10 20:02 < Weaselosaurus> people type something wrongly, then say OMG NO ARTICLE YET
2008-01-10 20:02 < Weaselosaurus> and do one
2008-01-10 20:02 < Weaselosaurus> this one has been around since Nov 2007
2008-01-10 20:03 < Dtobias> Which one?
2008-01-10 20:03 < Weaselosaurus> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleischaltung
2008-01-10 20:04 < Lycurgus> supposed to be Gleichschaltung?
2008-01-10 20:04 < BlaenkDenum> hey guys
2008-01-10 20:04 < Weaselosaurus> yep
2008-01-10 20:04 < BlaenkDenum> you guys know the 'current events' section on the home page of wikipedia? Is there any RSS or syndication feed for that?
2008-01-10 20:05 < BlaenkDenum> I guess just go to wikinews right
2008-01-10 20:05 < Dtobias> It's a good idea to create redirects for all alternate spellings of something that are known to avoid this problem.
2008-01-10 20:05 < Weaselosaurus> nah, it's not updated as regularly as it should really
2008-01-10 20:05 < Weaselosaurus> I agree.
2008-01-10 20:05 < Weaselosaurus> I just don't know what to do with the content
2008-01-10 20:05 < BlaenkDenum> or is there somewhere else I should've asked?
2008-01-10 20:05 < Weaselosaurus> nah, I just don't think we've got one.
2008-01-10 20:06 < Lycurgus> there's an RSS button right on the wikinews page
2008-01-10 20:06 < Weaselosaurus> unless you watch the mainpage
2008-01-10 20:06 < Weaselosaurus> I guess that should give you hints
2008-01-10 20:06 < BlaenkDenum> Yeah I saw it but it's not the same as the 'in the news' section on wikipedia
2008-01-10 20:06 < BlaenkDenum> oh well, thanks anyways guys I appreciate it
2008-01-10 20:06 < Lycurgus> i think it is
2008-01-10 20:07 < BlaenkDenum> doesn't seem like it, for example I see 'Indian car manufacturer...' on the wikipedia page, and that's not in the wikinews syndication feed
2008-01-10 20:07 < BlaenkDenum> but it's alright, thanks anyways guys, do appreciate it
2008-01-10 20:07 < Lycurgus> no, I'm wrong it's now.
2008-01-10 20:08 < Lycurgus> s/w/t/
2008-01-10 20:17 < Lubaf> Well, I just launched a new TVTrope.
2008-01-10 20:17 < Lubaf> It's lame, but it's valid: Exactly What It Says On The Tin.
2008-01-10 20:17 < Lubaf> To wit: A movie, show, or episode title is purely descriptive. Thus, it is or does Exactly What It Says On The Tin.
2008-01-10 20:22 < bumm13> hi Mike2
2008-01-10 20:22 < Mike2> hey
2008-01-10 20:24 < Lubaf> Heh.
2008-01-10 20:24 < Lubaf> There's a Supreme Court case coming up where the Solicitor General will be arguing against his nominal side.
2008-01-10 20:24 < Lubaf> No, really.
2008-01-10 20:24 < Lubaf> *may be, not will be.
2008-01-10 20:28 < Lubaf> http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/uncategorized/attorney-appointed-in-greenlaw/ < An overview of the case.
2008-01-10 20:28 < Mike2> commons doesn't support batch uploading, right?
2008-01-10 20:29 < SourBEAR> Not that I've seen.
2008-01-10 20:30 < SourBEAR> Would that be possible considering each whatever needing summaries and copyright status'?
2008-01-10 20:32 < bumm13> O'.'O
2008-01-10 20:32 < bumm13> hiya kmccoy
2008-01-10 20:32 < kmccoy> Hello. :)
2008-01-10 20:33 < Evil_Monkey> is there a precedent for removing large amounts of old comments from an IP talk page?
2008-01-10 20:33 < Evil_Monkey> I did it today and got reverted
2008-01-10 20:33 < Evil_Monkey> "You shouldn't remove old comments, it shows that this IP has a LONG history of vandalism"
2008-01-10 20:34 < bumm13> how come you want to remove such comments? (curious)
2008-01-10 20:35 < Evil_Monkey> So that the IP user wouldn't be confused by all the irrelevant comments
2008-01-10 20:36 < datura> static or dynamic ip?
2008-01-10 20:36 < Evil_Monkey> appears that they are static, though I had assumed dynamic based on the number of messages
2008-01-10 20:37 < Evil_Monkey> [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:72.133.205.139]]
2008-01-10 20:37 < Evil_Monkey> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:72.133.205.139
2008-01-10 20:37 < Weaselosaurus> Don't checkuser me, bro!
2008-01-10 20:39 < Simon-> that IP could easily be dynamic
2008-01-10 20:41 < NotACow> MOO
2008-01-10 20:41 < Weaselosaurus> Counter-moo
2008-01-10 20:41 < NotACow> mountercoo

2008-01-10 20:44 < bumm13> Terry Reid was actually first considered for the lead singer role in Led Zeppelin :x

2008-01-10 20:45 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-10 20:45 * Weaselosaurus listens to Gilbert O'Sullivan, forcibly
2008-01-10 20:45 < bumm13> he declined the offer but recommended a certain singer in Birmingham (UK, of course)

2008-01-10 20:48 < Weaselosaurus> actually "of the existence of bad art" to be less angry
2008-01-10 20:48 < Weaselosaurus> And Mt Everest is a giant of Nepal
2008-01-10 20:49 < Formentar> Evil_Monkey: Interesting sentence. Perfectly well-formed, but...
2008-01-10 20:49 < Weaselosaurus> Redundantly redundant.
2008-01-10 20:50 < Formentar> Self-referential too, if I read it correctly.
2008-01-10 20:50 < Weaselosaurus> oh yea, Julia Gillard said what she said according to a news site

2008-01-10 21:12 < Weaselosaurus> it rarely is, really, and I'm not usually the cause
2008-01-10 21:12 < Cowman109> Well let's try changing that :P

2008-01-10 21:13 < Weaselosaurus> Just when I noticed Sfan's absence...
2008-01-10 21:13 < Cowman109> Yeah but we don't need discussions about colostomy bag factories :P

2008-01-10 21:13 < bumm13> lol
2008-01-10 21:13 < Cyrius> I'd imagine the factories themselves are quite clean, what with producing medical equipment
2008-01-10 21:14 < Weaselosaurus> with the proper oversight, I guess.

2008-01-10 21:26 < mmordz> hello
2008-01-10 21:26 < bumm13> hi
2008-01-10 21:26 < mmordz> what is the official wikipdeia irc server address ? It is here ?
2008-01-10 21:27 < bumm13> the only official wikipedia IRC stuff is the recent-changes bot
2008-01-10 21:27 < bumm13> *bots
2008-01-10 21:27 < bumm13> those are at irc.wikimedia.org
2008-01-10 21:28 < bumm13> this channel is kind of the de facto official channel
2008-01-10 21:28 < mmordz> thanks
2008-01-10 21:28 < bumm13> :)
2008-01-10 21:29 < bumm13> no problem
2008-01-10 21:29 < mmordz> hmm few months ago i was in irc channel dedicated to Polish version of wikipedia but now i cannot find it anymore :(
2008-01-10 21:29 < werdan7> mmordz: #wikipedia-pl
2008-01-10 21:30 < mmordz> thanks
2008-01-10 21:31 < mmordz> but noone is active there
2008-01-10 21:31 < mmordz> wikipedia is dying
2008-01-10 21:31 < bumm13> ...
2008-01-10 21:31 < p858snake> I'm trying to refernce something on the List of additional MythBusters cast members#Jess Nelson section but i'm running into some issues because she posted it to her myspace blog and that is a blacklisted url (http://tinyurl.com/34nsav) so how should i do it?
2008-01-10 21:31 < bumm13> it's rather early in Poland right now
2008-01-10 21:32 < mmordz> its 03:31 in night. maybe u are right
2008-01-10 21:32 < Rinn> Aww.
2008-01-10 21:33 < Rinn> I was hoping the tinyurl redirected to Goatse. That would've been a good one.
2008-01-10 21:33 < mmordz> wikipedia should have some text ads.
2008-01-10 21:33 < Rinn> No, no it shouldn't.
2008-01-10 21:33 * Pilotguy_aw slaps mmordz with a big red brick
2008-01-10 21:33 < mmordz> it should
2008-01-10 21:33 < Rinn> No, no it shouldn't.
2008-01-10 21:33 < Pilotguy_aw> mmordz- No one wants to advertise on wikiepdia
2008-01-10 21:33 < mmordz> I want
2008-01-10 21:33 < Pilotguy_aw> mmordz- It sucks too much
2008-01-10 21:33 < Rinn> No one else wants.
2008-01-10 21:33 < p858snake> Rinn: no, that is stupid and the only reason i used tinyurl in here beause myspace urls are long
2008-01-10 21:33 < mmordz> :(
2008-01-10 21:34 < Pilotguy> mmordz- Well, obviously you've yet to dig your hand out of the sand
2008-01-10 21:34 < mmordz> How much money the wikipedia have collected this year ? U remember - there was that special BIG banner about donating money for wikipedia in december. where i can read about it ? the banner is GONE
2008-01-10 21:34 < Pilotguy> mmordz- Yes, and it sucked balls
2008-01-10 21:35 < Pilotguy> mmordz- No one liked it
2008-01-10 21:35 < mmordz> where it is ?
2008-01-10 21:35 < mmordz> anyone ?
2008-01-10 21:35 < Pilotguy> mmordz- It's gone now. Never coming back again.
2008-01-10 21:35 < p858snake> theres a wp about it from memory
2008-01-10 21:35 < bumm13> it no longer exists
2008-01-10 21:35 < p858snake> it didn't mind the small one, but it sucked when it was expanded
2008-01-10 21:36 < mmordz> u remember - there was the bar that shows how much money have been collected (as % of goal) how much was done in last day ?
2008-01-10 21:36 < Pilotguy> mmordz- If by remember you mean I remember how bad it was, then yes I sure do
2008-01-10 21:36 < mmordz> so it was very bad ?
2008-01-10 21:37 < Pilotguy> mmordz- "very bad" is an understatement, my friend
2008-01-10 21:37 < mmordz> so u see. small TEXT adverts are not that bad i think. really.
2008-01-10 21:37 < mmordz> no more similar problems
2008-01-10 21:37 * Rinn drags mmordz away
2008-01-10 21:38 < mmordz> OR make this as an OPTION - in example every logged user can choose: do u want adverts or not. As Im supporter of wikipedia I could have few ads in my profile after logging
2008-01-10 21:38 < Pilotguy> mmordz- snort.
2008-01-10 21:39 < mmordz> wikipedia will be dead without ads
2008-01-10 21:40 < mmordz> coz the old methots of funding is not working: "I remember how bad it was"
2008-01-10 21:40 < Pilotguy> mmordz- The reality is wikimedia will run out of money.
2008-01-10 21:40 < Pilotguy> mmordz- Fewer and fewer people care about it
2008-01-10 21:41 < mmordz> the solution is funding by ads or... by goverments. but that kind of activity require... money
2008-01-10 21:42 < Pilotguy> mmordz- Very good!
2008-01-10 21:42 < Rinn> Hooray!

2008-01-10 21:48 < The359> Sister City is usually just two foreign cities who agree to share culture between each other and stuff
2008-01-10 21:49 < jtizzle1854> ok

2008-01-10 21:54 < NotASpy> mmordz2: press Alt and F4. That takes you to one such channel.
2008-01-10 21:54 < kmccoy> Is this like an IRC version of Borat?

2008-01-10 21:56 < The359> not sure what mmordz2 is up to
2008-01-10 21:56 < mmordz2> there is no even school channel on this server :(

2008-01-10 21:58 < NotACow> Rinn: yes, but how often is what you learn actually false?
2008-01-10 21:58 < Rinn> I'd say 5%.
2008-01-10 21:59 < bumm13> I learn a lot from it, too
2008-01-10 21:59 < bumm13> I learn how many crappy articles we still have ;p
2008-01-10 22:01 < Paine> I learn that we have far too many articles on fucking public transportation stations
2008-01-10 22:02 < Luna-San> I'm just impressed amidaniel can do all that and still be away. It's like he's twitching in his sleep, and people get kicked. :o

2008-01-10 22:29 < bumm13> no such thing :)
2008-01-10 22:30 < The359> the lies, or the too many highway articles?
2008-01-10 22:30 < bumm13> the former :P

2008-01-10 22:53 < The359> it is set to autocollapse, but it wont collapse

2008-01-10 23:11 < uberpenguin> I'm saving this... it might prove to be very useful
2008-01-10 23:11 < Cyrius> uberpenguin: what about it?
2008-01-10 23:12 < uberpenguin> Cyrius: it's a voltage controlled amplifier which uses only one active device
2008-01-10 23:13 < uberpenguin> most VCA topologies involve at least a differential amplifier, which is a lot harder to contstruct
2008-01-10 23:13 < uberpenguin> especially with tubes
2008-01-10 23:13 < Luna-San> I'll pretend to understand electronic diagrams... :(
2008-01-10 23:13 < uberpenguin> don't be afraid, most of those resistors just set the bias point for the pentode tube
2008-01-10 23:13 < uberpenguin> actually, all of them do
2008-01-10 23:13 < uberpenguin> except R5... that's a small-signal resistor
2008-01-10 23:15 * Cyrius doesn't know enough about tube operation to understand what it does
2008-01-10 23:15 < uberpenguin> tubes are very easy to understand
2008-01-10 23:16 < Cyrius> I mean, I can read the description, but I don't know the operation
2008-01-10 23:16 < uberpenguin> probably a lot easier than transistors
2008-01-10 23:17 < Dtobias> The Internet is a series of tubes!
2008-01-10 23:17 < uberpenguin> back in the day it was
2008-01-10 23:17 < uberpenguin> when Unisys ruled the land
2008-01-10 23:17 < uberpenguin> (kidding...)
2008-01-10 23:18 < Dtobias> I can remember when you needed to replace tubes on all sorts of electronic devices... stores like Radio Shack had tube tester machines.
2008-01-10 23:18 < bumm13> lots of PDP-10s and PDP-11s on the old Arpanet
2008-01-10 23:18 < uberpenguin> yeah, good tube testers are difficult to come by these days
2008-01-10 23:18 < uberpenguin> if you can get one, you'll pay well for it
2008-01-10 23:18 < uberpenguin> bumm13: yeah, and those were children of the transistor age
2008-01-10 23:18 < bumm13> indeed
2008-01-10 23:18 < uberpenguin> still had that CRAZY core memory, but transistorized nonetheless
2008-01-10 23:19 < uberpenguin> in fact, there was a late model PDP-11... right before the VAXes, called the LSI-11 which heavily used integrated circuits
2008-01-10 23:19 < bumm13> the ancestor of modern routers were some Honeywell DDP computers
2008-01-10 23:19 < bumm13> yeah
2008-01-10 23:19 < uberpenguin> http://www.klaus-boening.de/assets/images/ampli8.GIF << now that's just wacky
2008-01-10 23:20 < bumm13> (ah, Honeywell DDP-516)
2008-01-10 23:20 < uberpenguin> I don't really "get" people who make hybrid designs like that
2008-01-10 23:20 < uberpenguin> I think it's more for aesthetics than actual function
2008-01-10 23:20 < uberpenguin> or maybe they're just so convinced about tube sound...
2008-01-10 23:20 < bumm13> "The most prominent application of them relates to the origins of the internet. The DDP-516 was used as the basis of "Interface Message Processors" or IMPs that were used to connect the very first networked computers to the ARPANET."
2008-01-10 23:22 < Dtobias> It's got IMPs and daemons... and a few trolls too.
2008-01-10 23:22 < uberpenguin> also, I hate the circuit symbols this guy uses
2008-01-10 23:22 < uberpenguin> what the heck kind of transformer is that
2008-01-10 23:22 < uberpenguin> it took me a minute to figure out what the triode symbol was, too
2008-01-10 23:23 < uberpenguin> accursed euros...
2008-01-10 23:26 < yao_ziyuan> is anyone willing to host a 435KB zip file for creating wikipedia-based ebooks? (every interested potential ebook creator will download it once)
2008-01-10 23:27 < uberpenguin> bumm13: so I've decided I'm going to design a vacuum tube theremin for my senior project
2008-01-10 23:27 < uberpenguin> this thing will look really rad
2008-01-10 23:27 < uberpenguin> especially with the pentode and glow regulator tubes
2008-01-10 23:28 * Ceiling_Cat overclocks uberpenguin's series of tubes
2008-01-10 23:29 < uberpenguin> you should see what a multiplier circuit looks like with vacuum tubes, raul :P
2008-01-10 23:29 < uberpenguin> digital electronics are just scary with tubes
2008-01-10 23:30 < uberpenguin> while analog is fairly tame
2008-01-10 23:30 < Ceiling_Cat> multiplier circuits are scary to begin with
2008-01-10 23:30 < uberpenguin> posh
2008-01-10 23:30 < uberpenguin> yeah, GOOD ones probably are
2008-01-10 23:30 * Ceiling_Cat has always preferred the elegant simplicity of a carry-adder
2008-01-10 23:30 < uberpenguin> not the crappy kind I can remember how to make
2008-01-10 23:31 < The359> The launch of a cheap car made the In The News?

2008-01-10 23:35 < The359> A Polish man got the shock of his life Wednesday when he did something he knows he shouldn't have - cheated on his wife. The unnamed gentleman decided to visit a Warsaw brothel and take advantage of the services provided in the not-so-legal establishment.
2008-01-10 23:35 < The359> But when he walked in the door, any lascivious thoughts he may have had turned to anger, after he recognized one of the people working inside - his own spouse.

2008-01-11 00:06 < Crimedog> Interesting claim on wikien, A developer "flips a switch" and disables anonymous page creation. I don't think that's the way it happened is it?
2008-01-11 00:10 < amidaniel|away> Crimedog: Well, there was no "switch", but more or less :)
2008-01-11 00:10 < amidaniel|away> Jimbo said do it, someone added the line that disabled it
2008-01-11 00:11 < The359> erm, wait
2008-01-11 00:11 < The359> It was on?
2008-01-11 00:11 < The359> Anonymous Page Creation?
2008-01-11 00:11 < amidaniel|away> A long time ago, yes
2008-01-11 00:11 < The359> oh
2008-01-11 00:11 < The359> I thought recently
2008-01-11 00:11 < Crimedog> I've noticed that in "real life", such decisions are often justified by saying "it was always suppose to be that way"
2008-01-11 00:11 < The359> I thought I missed it
2008-01-11 00:11 < amidaniel|away> Not to my knowledhe.

2008-01-11 00:29 < FastLizard4|busy> Operator available: please deop dircbot, it went crazy again
2008-01-11 00:30 < FastLizard4|busy> !ops dircbot has been oped for quite some time, please deop it, it hasn't been doing anything, and has been oped since I signed on today
2008-01-11 00:30 < Ceiling_Cat> remember kids, bedwetting is 1/3 of the triad of sociopathy
2008-01-11 00:30 < FrikkinLazer> Whats the other two?
2008-01-11 00:31 * Pumpmeup smacks Ceiling_Cat with a burlap sack filled with vandal dropping
2008-01-11 00:31 < The359> not cleaning it up
2008-01-11 00:31 < The359> and continuing to sleep in it
2008-01-11 00:31 < Scott5114> FrikkinLazer: watching PBS and driving in the left lane.
2008-01-11 00:31 < Ceiling_Cat> Friiky - arson and animal torture
2008-01-11 00:31 < FrikkinLazer> Why bedwetting though?
2008-01-11 00:32 < FrikkinLazer> Scott: American are ya?
2008-01-11 00:32 < Ceiling_Cat> FrikkinLazer - it's empirical -- they studied a bunch of sociopaths, and found they had those three in common
2008-01-11 00:32 < Ceiling_Cat> also, it's predictive
2008-01-11 00:32 < FrikkinLazer> Interesting.
2008-01-11 00:33 < Ceiling_Cat> see [[MacDonald triad]]
2008-01-11 00:33 < FastLizard4|busy> !ops
2008-01-11 00:33 < Ceiling_Cat> FastLizard4|busy - yes?
2008-01-11 00:33 < FastLizard4|busy> Ceiling_Cat: Go deop dircbot
2008-01-11 00:34 < FastLizard4|busy> It has failed to deop itself again
2008-01-11 00:34 < FrikkinLazer> In the article it sais 'torturing small animals'. What about large animals?
2008-01-11 00:35 < FrikkinLazer> Also... whats the largest animal in the 'small animal' group?
2008-01-11 00:35 < LuciferTiger> the cock
2008-01-11 00:35 < Ceiling_Cat> FrikkinLazer - if I had to speculate, I think that small animals are easier to deal with, and to do so in private
2008-01-11 00:35 < Ceiling_Cat> and clearly more safe to handle than (say) a large animal like a horse, bull, cow, or donkey
2008-01-11 00:35 < Rinn> They also usually squeal in a higher pitch.
2008-01-11 00:36 < Ceiling_Cat> if injured those animals could severely injure, even kill someone
2008-01-11 00:37 < Schroeder> GUESS WHO WON DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR?
2008-01-11 00:37 < Rinn> Someone I don't know or care about!
2008-01-11 00:37 < Schroeder> BOB SANDERS WON DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR!
2008-01-11 00:37 < Rinn> I was right!
2008-01-11 00:38 < Ceiling_Cat> ya got a purty mouth, but can ya squeal like a pig?
2008-01-11 00:38 < LuciferTiger> so are we talkin bout torturing animals for fun?
2008-01-11 00:38 < LuciferTiger> thats just sad
2008-01-11 00:39 < Luna-San> But it's just dandy if you do it for other purposes, eh? >.>
