2008-01-26 21:34 < JerseyDevil86> So are the Republicans to a smaller extent.
2008-01-26 21:36 < ronabop> The Bible Party, The Business Party, The BigMilitary Party, The Guns Party.......
2008-01-26 21:38 < JerseyDevil86> yes
2008-01-26 21:39 < NotACow> JerseyDevil86: actually, the dems are the majority party now, which means they can occupy the majority position on virtually every issue if they want to
2008-01-26 21:39 < gwern> I always figured BigMilitary more or less equaled the Guns party, for all that the latter claim to be libertarians
2008-01-26 21:39 < NotACow> JerseyDevil86: the republicans, as a minority party, are more likely to be formed of a clear coalition of two disparate interest groups
2008-01-26 21:40 < ronabop> Lots of libertarians want the citizens to have guns, not an agency of the government. :)
2008-01-26 21:40 < NotACow> JerseyDevil86: and the republicans are exactly that, a coalition of the "family values" party with the "big business" party
2008-01-26 21:40 < ronabop> Think Waco.
2008-01-26 21:40 < JerseyDevil86> bluedogs + liberals + DLC centrists = democrats
2008-01-26 21:41 < Rinn> Still on politics?
2008-01-26 21:41 < Rinn> You were doing this, like, three hours ago.
2008-01-26 21:41 < JerseyDevil86> cuz it is a primary day
2008-01-26 21:41 < Rinn> Usually you go off on tangents by now.
2008-01-26 21:42 < Evil_Monkey> Rinn: it has circled back :-)
2008-01-26 21:44 < Evil_Monkey> hmm, Obama is the first candidate to get a majority of voters in the Democratic primary
2008-01-26 21:45 < Evil_Monkey> excluding Michigan
2008-01-26 21:45 < JerseyDevil86> yep
2008-01-26 21:45 < Evil_Monkey> bah, and Nevada. Need to read the table better....
2008-01-26 21:45 < JerseyDevil86> oh yea
2008-01-26 21:46 < ronabop> Michigan doesn't count, only one person on the ballot. :)
2008-01-26 21:46 < quanticle> JerseyDevil86: What's the latest count?
2008-01-26 21:46 < JerseyDevil86> kucinich was also on the ballot!
2008-01-26 21:46 < ronabop> One person and one progressive space-gnome, then. ;)
2008-01-26 21:47 < JerseyDevil86> quanticle: check out the politico website
2008-01-26 21:47 < JerseyDevil86> http://www.politico.com/
2008-01-26 21:47 < Evil_Monkey> oh dear god -- on CNN someone just commented that if Al Gore had carried Tennessee..... blah blah blah
2008-01-26 21:47 < ronabop> I'd totally love to see Kucinich as SecDef, that would be a blast.
2008-01-26 21:48 < Evil_Monkey> ronabop: he'd be able to pull out his pocket copy of "The Art of War"
2008-01-26 21:48 < JerseyDevil86> Obama 55.28%, Clinton 26.56%, Edwards 17.71%
2008-01-26 21:48 < JerseyDevil86> the politico website has county to county info though
2008-01-26 21:51 < quanticle> Damn. Obama's got a stomping in S. Carolina.
2008-01-26 21:51 < Huntster> :/ Why do I feel so sullied by Clinton's presence in my state?
2008-01-26 21:51 < quanticle> 25% is a landslide by most practical standards
2008-01-26 21:51 < Messedrocker> is edwards doing well in south carolina?
2008-01-26 21:51 < quanticle> Messedrocker: He's behind clinton
2008-01-26 21:52 < quanticle> 17.71 percent
2008-01-26 21:52 < Huntster> Obama 55.28%, Clinton 26.56%, Edwards 17.71%
2008-01-26 21:52 < ronabop> edwards got 17.7%
2008-01-26 21:52 < Messedrocker> Edwards is losing in his own home state? He should drop out.
2008-01-26 21:52 < NotACow> quanticle: especially when there are three candidates in the race.
2008-01-26 21:52 < lti> There are a few exceptions
2008-01-26 21:52 < NotACow> Messedrocker: he likely will soon.
2008-01-26 21:52 < Messedrocker> Which is a God damn shame because I support Edwards.
2008-01-26 21:52 < Cyrius> quanticle: um..."obama's got a stomping" implies that he is on the receiving end, ie losing
2008-01-26 21:52 < JerseyDevil86> Clinton came to my state a few days ago
2008-01-26 21:52 < NotACow> Messedrocker: there's a rumor that edwards is offering to withdrawn in obama's favor if obama will appoint him AG
2008-01-26 21:52 < Messedrocker> sounds good
2008-01-26 21:52 < ronabop> If he sticks it out until convention, he may become a kingmaker....
2008-01-26 21:53 < Evil_Monkey> NotACow: out of the "blogosphere"
2008-01-26 21:53 < Messedrocker> bliggybluggosphere
2008-01-26 21:53 < JerseyDevil86> interesting stuff
2008-01-26 21:53 < arcimboldo_> Clinton is speaking like a auntie Jane in front of an elementary school audience.
2008-01-26 21:53 < ronabop> Nobody comes to my state. :(
2008-01-26 21:53 < NotACow> if edwards is smart, he won't withdraw until the delegate counts are such that obama needs edwards delegates to beat clinton
2008-01-26 21:53 < arcimboldo_> Hm ... but if he stays in the race it will help Clinton greatly.
2008-01-26 21:54 < NotACow> Evil_Monkey: it's a rumor. i don't trust rumors. :)
2008-01-26 21:54 < Huntster> arcimboldo_, indeed, which is why I feel horrible about her being here. Now if Romney stopped by, I'd be in the crowd...
2008-01-26 21:54 * ronabop giggles at the idea of Huckabee in Oregon....
2008-01-26 21:54 < Cyrius> ronabop: eh?
2008-01-26 21:55 < JerseyDevil86> huckabee lol
2008-01-26 21:55 < Evil_Monkey> Is Australian of the Year like Australian Idol? A country singer?
2008-01-26 21:55 < Evil_Monkey> okay, fine he does some charity work
2008-01-26 21:56 < Messedrocker> damn it
2008-01-26 21:56 < ronabop> Oh, nobody comes here, there's nothing but blue-dogs.... which means that Huckleberry Hound is a double pun...
2008-01-26 21:56 < Messedrocker> who was that guy who rose to power after the romans fell
2008-01-26 21:56 < Messedrocker> oh right
2008-01-26 21:56 < Messedrocker> charlemagne
2008-01-26 21:57 < JerseyDevil86> just read that edwards-AG rumor on politico
2008-01-26 21:57 < arcimboldo_> AG?
2008-01-26 21:57 * Floor_Feline covers Messedrocker's eyes and whispers "Guess who?" ominously
2008-01-26 21:57 < NotACow> dan savage is asking for suggestions for what sex act should be known as the "huckabee"
2008-01-26 21:57 < Cyrius> attorney general
2008-01-26 21:58 < NotACow> this after dan savage named the mixture of feces and semen "santorum"
2008-01-26 21:58 < Cyrius> the guy in charge of federal criminal prosecution
2008-01-26 21:58 < NotACow> Cyrius: more than just that
2008-01-26 21:58 < Messedrocker> hi Mr. Orange Shirt
2008-01-26 21:58 < arcimboldo_> wakatta
2008-01-26 21:58 < Evil_Monkey> NotACow: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=huckabee
2008-01-26 21:58 < NotACow> Cyrius: in charge of all legal matters involving the federal government
2008-01-26 21:58 < JerseyDevil86> head of the department of justice
2008-01-26 21:58 < Messedrocker> <Cyrius> the guy in charge of federal criminal prosecution << Something tells me Edwards would utilize that position to tell big businesses to go fuck themselves.
2008-01-26 21:59 < Cyrius> NotACow: I got the idea of Edwards prosecuting members of the current administration, and my mind ignored his other duties
2008-01-26 22:00 < ronabop> Same here.
2008-01-26 22:00 < Cyrius> couldn't hear my memory over the giggling
2008-01-26 22:01 < ronabop> Has the US ever thrown former presidents into jail for their in-office crimes?
2008-01-26 22:01 < Triona> Not so far.
2008-01-26 22:01 < Cyrius> nixon might have made it that far, but ford pardoned him
2008-01-26 22:01 < JerseyDevil86> nixon might have but was pardoned by ford.
2008-01-26 22:01 < JerseyDevil86> f u
2008-01-26 22:01 < Cyrius> =D
2008-01-26 22:02 < NotACow> illinois does
2008-01-26 22:02 < NotACow> three of the past four illinois governors have gone to jail
2008-01-26 22:03 < NotACow> and the current one probably will
2008-01-26 22:03 < Cyrius> hehe
2008-01-26 22:03 < Messedrocker> rod blagojevich
2008-01-26 22:03 < JerseyDevil86> the question was about presidents though
2008-01-26 22:03 < Messedrocker> when i first saw that name, i thought he was like the prime minister of serbia
2008-01-26 22:03 < NotACow> rumor has it that there's a sealed indictment naming rod blagoyevich on file in federal court
2008-01-26 22:03 < NotACow> Messedrocker: well, he is serbian
2008-01-26 22:03 < Messedrocker> certainly
2008-01-26 22:03 < NotACow> he's also a prick
2008-01-26 22:04 < Messedrocker> something tells me he'd be a prick were he actually the PM of Serbia as well
2008-01-26 22:04 < NotACow> him and his stupd "free rides for seniors"
2008-01-26 22:04 < Messedrocker> does Serbia even have a PM?
2008-01-26 22:04 < ronabop> Is Illinois just plain corrupt?
2008-01-26 22:04 < NotACow> ronabop: pretty much, yes
2008-01-26 22:04 < Messedrocker> ill-ee-nwa
2008-01-26 22:04 < quanticle> ronabop: No. The only time that was threatened to occur is with Nixon, and Jerry Ford pardoned him.
2008-01-26 22:04 < Triona> Politics in general are just plain corrupt.
2008-01-26 22:04 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Around here its pronounced Ill-eee-noye
2008-01-26 22:05 < Messedrocker> we pronounce it ill-ih-noy here
2008-01-26 22:05 < Triona> Honest and politician don't go in the same sentance, let alone the same room.
2008-01-26 22:05 < Messedrocker> quanticle, what about with Andrew Johnson? If he were convicted, would he have been put in jail?
2008-01-26 22:05 < JerseyDevil86> pardon power is teh bullshiz
2008-01-26 22:05 < Triona> Messedrocker: impeachment only enables prosecution
2008-01-26 22:05 < Triona> (and removes from office)
2008-01-26 22:06 < JerseyDevil86> have no idea how that power go in there, with no check and balances.
2008-01-26 22:06 < JerseyDevil86> *checks
2008-01-26 22:06 * Evil_Monkey is greatful for one thing during the upcoming election -- we now have semi-protection
2008-01-26 22:06 < Evil_Monkey> how did we get by without it?
2008-01-26 22:06 < ninjapancake> it sucked

2008-01-26 22:07 < DragonFire1024> XD
2008-01-26 22:07 < Shiroi_Neko> quanticle
2008-01-26 22:08 < Shiroi_Neko> those MIT videos are interesting
2008-01-26 22:08 < JerseyDevil86> oh shit
2008-01-26 22:08 < Shiroi_Neko> if only I had a book :(
2008-01-26 22:08 < Floor_Feline> DragonFire1024: very believable, very very
2008-01-26 22:08 < Messedrocker> DragonFire1024, the CoS bullying around the Internet again?
2008-01-26 22:08 < DragonFire1024> Messedrocker: look at th link
2008-01-26 22:08 < Villa> you make it sound like they stopped at some point
2008-01-26 22:08 < DragonFire1024> or do a google on 711chan
2008-01-26 22:08 < DragonFire1024> also
2008-01-26 22:08 < DragonFire1024> exclusive
2008-01-26 22:08 < DragonFire1024> http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/%27The_Regime%27_hacks_711chan.org_in_response_to_%27Anonymous%27_attack_on_Scientology
2008-01-26 22:08 < Villa> yeah 711chan is down, but there's no real reason to think that the group that did it is from sci
2008-01-26 22:09 < Messedrocker> YTMND once was in a kerfuffle with the Church of Scientology because of some pretty obscure pages making fun of Scientology. Those pages became famous and Scieno became even more lampooned.
2008-01-26 22:09 < Villa> the regime was mad at anon for calling themselves hackers
2008-01-26 22:09 < Villa> of course, anon did nothing of the sort, but you can't expect arrogant crackers to make that distinction
2008-01-26 22:09 < Villa> partyvan is also down
2008-01-26 22:10 < Floor_Feline> DragonFire1024: interesting, considering that the summary the article creator used was "Reporting some interesting shit happening down at the chans"
2008-01-26 22:10 < Shiroi_Neko> "This website has been deleted due to copyright claims from the Church of Scientology."
2008-01-26 22:10 < Shiroi_Neko> http://711chan.org/
2008-01-26 22:10 < Villa> shiroi: it's a running internet joke
2008-01-26 22:11 < DragonFire1024> Floor_Feline: ?
2008-01-26 22:11 * LuciferTiger watches Floor_Feline upside down
2008-01-26 22:11 < DragonFire1024> "711chan is full of fucking fail for siding with Gaia. I'm out of here, faggots. Enjoy your Gaia," said the message, which currently is only available in a cached version.
2008-01-26 22:11 < Floor_Feline> I dunno, seems sketchy to me.
2008-01-26 22:11 < Floor_Feline> LuciferTiger: everyone watches me :(
2008-01-26 22:11 < lti> That's a rather broad generalization
2008-01-26 22:12 < DragonFire1024> 711chan has been abandoned eiother way
2008-01-26 22:12 < Villa> i'm sure it will be back
2008-01-26 22:12 < Villa> lti: just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching you
2008-01-26 22:12 < DragonFire1024> this "Regime" is something serious maybe
2008-01-26 22:12 < Messedrocker> 711chan probably won't be missed
2008-01-26 22:12 < Villa> i miss it and i've only been there since wednesday
2008-01-26 22:13 < Villa> i need more fun, stupid IRC
2008-01-26 22:13 < Villa> dragonfire1024: serious in what way?
2008-01-26 22:13 < DragonFire1024> Villa: true hackers
2008-01-26 22:13 < Villa> weren't all the dig stories on the anon war prefaced with "this is serious"
2008-01-26 22:13 < Villa> well obviously
2008-01-26 22:13 < DragonFire1024> not some scripter kiddies
2008-01-26 22:13 < Villa> oh i see
2008-01-26 22:13 < DragonFire1024> aka "The real deal"
2008-01-26 22:13 < Villa> meh
2008-01-26 22:14 < DragonFire1024> IMHO
2008-01-26 22:14 < DragonFire1024> they are CofS
2008-01-26 22:14 < DragonFire1024> OR
2008-01-26 22:14 < DragonFire1024> Hired by CofS
2008-01-26 22:14 < Villa> i'm not informed enough to know the difference
2008-01-26 22:14 < Gracenotes> ED must be having a field day with it, either way
2008-01-26 22:15 < ronabop> "Real hackers"? ROFL
2008-01-26 22:15 < DragonFire1024> well people cannot take down a website, without knowing how to *truly* take it down
2008-01-26 22:15 < Messedrocker> CofS?
2008-01-26 22:15 < DragonFire1024> bombarding a website with bots is not taking it down
2008-01-26 22:15 < OverlordQ> aghaghag, 'The Regime'
2008-01-26 22:16 < DragonFire1024> CofS: Church of Scientology
2008-01-26 22:16 * ronabop blinks and giggles
2008-01-26 22:16 < Messedrocker> oh
2008-01-26 22:16 < Messedrocker> DragonFire1024, the abbreviation is just "CoS"
2008-01-26 22:16 < DragonFire1024> oh :)
2008-01-26 22:16 < Villa> they most definitely took it down
2008-01-26 22:17 < Villa> they replaced the main page with your standard l33t haxx0r broken english and gave everyone a shell passowrd
2008-01-26 22:17 < lti> That's a rather broad generalization
2008-01-26 22:18 < DragonFire1024> Villa: the site is replaced with CoS
2008-01-26 22:19 < Villa> but the CoS almost certainly had nothing to do with that
2008-01-26 22:19 < Villa> that message is an internet meme
2008-01-26 22:20 < ronabop> 711chan fake their own "attack"? :)
2008-01-26 22:21 < Villa> no they really got attacked earlier in the day
2008-01-26 22:21 < Villa> well
2008-01-26 22:21 < Villa> i mean
2008-01-26 22:21 < Villa> i doubt they would just fake all that up, and pull irc
2008-01-26 22:21 < Villa> but i'm pretty sure the current page is either the owners throwing something up while they fix it or the hacker assholes trying to be funny
2008-01-26 22:22 < Messedrocker> you mean the CoS didn't actually attack 711chan?
2008-01-26 22:22 < ronabop> Easy enough to do it all in one fell swoop with a single DNS zone takeover...
2008-01-26 22:22 < ronabop> CoS uses lawyers, not 31337 kiddies.
2008-01-26 22:23 < JerseyDevil86> church lol
2008-01-26 22:24 < DragonFire1024> The Regime attacked 711chan
2008-01-26 22:24 < DragonFire1024> whoever they are
2008-01-26 22:25 < DragonFire1024> and hacked or whatever
2008-01-26 22:25 < OverlordQ> All those involved need to 'Get a life'
2008-01-26 22:25 < DragonFire1024> A search performed using Google, on 711chan has returned the number one result of the apparent hack. All that remains of 711chan.org is an apparent message to the members of the site to "run" and "hide." "711chan is full of fucking fail for siding with Gaia. I'm out of here, faggots. Enjoy your Gaia," said the message, which currently is only available in a cached version.
2008-01-26 22:25 < Villa> overlordq: and what better place for that message than a wikipedia chatroom?
2008-01-26 22:25 < Pilotguy> PLOP
2008-01-26 22:26 < OverlordQ> *shrug*
2008-01-26 22:26 < Pilotguy> OverlordQ- correct
2008-01-26 22:26 < Gracenotes> DragonFire1024: I'd imagine. They have a fair amount of links pointing to them with the text "711chan" :)
2008-01-26 22:26 < Pilotguy> OverlordQ- Preferably one without an internet connection
2008-01-26 22:26 < OverlordQ> They all act like they're still in grade school
2008-01-26 22:27 < DragonFire1024> I just like WN being slashdotted and stuff
2008-01-26 22:27 < Pilotguy> OverlordQ- Have you ever considered the idea they might be wiki[p/m]edians? :)
2008-01-26 22:27 < ronabop> "Full of Fail" = chan kiddies
2008-01-26 22:27 < OverlordQ> *shrug* Good for them
2008-01-26 22:27 < Pilotguy> OverlordQ- Because your description matches said grop
2008-01-26 22:27 < Pilotguy> make that group
2008-01-26 22:28 < OverlordQ> Oh well, most people would say they'll be scared because these are the people that will be running the country in the future
2008-01-26 22:28 < Messedrocker> why the hell does iTunes have a volume slider separate from the rest of the computer
2008-01-26 22:28 < OverlordQ> I dont, because they'll all be working in McDonalds or something.
2008-01-26 22:28 < Pilotguy> OverlordQ- snort.
2008-01-26 22:28 < ronabop> I believe that group is 'bored young adults'.
2008-01-26 22:28 < Messedrocker> OverlordQ, every generation has the stupids and the smart people.
2008-01-26 22:28 < Messedrocker> The stupids will get nowhere, the smart people will advance
2008-01-26 22:29 < Pilotguy> Messedrocker- Yes, but you never hear about the smart people
2008-01-26 22:29 < Pilotguy> Messedrocker- You hear about the stupid people all the time

2008-01-26 23:08 < Floor_Feline> was he working for the US Gov't at the time?
2008-01-26 23:09 < quanticle> Floor_Feline: Most probably. I don't think you can get to Antarctica unless you're on government business.
2008-01-26 23:09 < Messedrocker> wrong answer
2008-01-26 23:09 < Messedrocker> there is antarctican tourism

2008-01-27 01:01 < privatemusings> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astana
2008-01-27 01:01 < Random832> [i.e. you had to add or subtract either 7.5 or 2.5 hours, and didn't know whether to add or to subtract]

2008-01-27 01:06 < Random832> is there a way to make an entire SVG scalable by font size (i.e. all dimensions expressed in ems)?
2008-01-27 01:06 < Random832> because i'd really like to be able to zoom in, in firefox
2008-01-27 01:08 < Evil_Monkey> Random832: I'm not sure it would work in Wikipedia, since the software creates a PNG version of the SVG image that it uses in the articles
2008-01-27 01:08 < Random832> Evil_Monkey: eh
2008-01-27 01:08 < Random832> i'll make a test case

2008-01-27 01:15 < Random832> can't be done, the size of the svg is not expressed in css
2008-01-27 01:18 < krushia> Does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SideStep look like it meets criteria for speedy deletion per the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#G11 rule? Note that it is an entirely POV article, and all major contributors in have only modified this page and populated others in the category with links.
2008-01-27 01:19 < krushia> Just wanted a second opinion before I tag it with {{db-spam}}
2008-01-27 01:20 < Triona> Go ahead and tag... if you are wrong, someone will untag it
