2008-02-01 15:45 < Rinn> There are usually maybe five or six people at most who are coordinated and actually know what they're doing. All the others just act on whim.
2008-02-01 15:45 < Sfan00> It might be reasonable to conisder 'semi' ing some of them around Feb10th
2008-02-01 15:46 < Sfan00> Yeah, but sending 'hoax' packages isn't responsible behaviour
2008-02-01 15:46 < Rinn> That was probably a whim act.
2008-02-01 15:46 < Sfan00> But one that could bring an credibilty they had crashing
2008-02-01 15:46 < Rinn> They had credibility?
2008-02-01 15:47 < Sfan00> You don't use terrorist tactics to persue a legitimate greviance
2008-02-01 15:47 < Sfan00> Rinn: Some
2008-02-01 15:47 < Sfan00> They have less if the packages are traced to them
2008-02-01 15:51 < Sfan00> BTW Any admins semi-protecting stuff at present?
2008-02-01 15:51 < Sfan00> Not that it's proven , but if groups are capable of posting packages hey are more than capable of on wiki-vandalism
2008-02-01 15:58 < Gwern-away> the words leaving your mouth are filth!
2008-02-01 15:58 < Sfan00> Gwern-away:?
2008-02-01 16:00 < Pegship> anyobody listeinng?
2008-02-01 16:01 < Pegship> I miss toolserver *sigh* any news?
2008-02-01 16:03 < Axeman> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-ended_dildo#Materials
2008-02-01 16:03 < Axeman> ...
2008-02-01 16:03 < Axeman> holy fucking shit
2008-02-01 16:03 < Axeman> Glass.
2008-02-01 16:03 < Pegship> {{context}}
2008-02-01 16:03 < Axeman> They make glass dildoes.
2008-02-01 16:03 < Axeman> HMM, THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SUCH A GOOD IDEA
2008-02-01 16:03 < Pegship> and you're sharing this because?
2008-02-01 16:04 < Axeman> because I lol'd
2008-02-01 16:04 < Axeman> hard
2008-02-01 16:04 < Axeman> I should just remove it, probably nonsense
2008-02-01 16:04 < Axeman> but then again, my edit history would have "double-ended dildo" in it
2008-02-01 16:04 < Pegship> dang, I thought someone might know something useful
2008-02-01 16:04 < Axeman> for all eternity
2008-02-01 16:04 < Axeman> and what if I'm wrong?
2008-02-01 16:05 < Axeman> Do I want to be forever known as "the guy who got in a revert war over the dildo article?"
2008-02-01 16:05 < DannyLilithborne> 2+2 is 4
2008-02-01 16:05 < DannyLilithborne> that's pretty useful
2008-02-01 16:05 < Sfan00> Axeman: My first edits on wikipedia were to Docking Sleeve :O
2008-02-01 16:05 < Axeman> docking sleeve?
2008-02-01 16:05 < Messedrocker> hmm
2008-02-01 16:05 < Messedrocker> metroid fusion has that cyberpunk feel to it
2008-02-01 16:05 < Messedrocker> in its music
2008-02-01 16:06 < Sfan00> Apparently on wiki it had a different context from areo-space :(
2008-02-01 16:06 < Axeman> what the hell is...OH DEAR GOD
2008-02-01 16:06 < Axeman> OH... OH, GOOD LORD.
2008-02-01 16:06 < Axeman> WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE
2008-02-01 16:06 < DannyLilithborne> science again!
2008-02-01 16:06 < Sfan00> As long as it's physciatry
2008-02-01 16:06 < Axeman> This article is about the construct in mechanical engineering. For the genital stimulation device, see Docking sleeve (sex toy).
2008-02-01 16:06 < Sfan00> that's not fouled up again
2008-02-01 16:07 < Faroframkallande> messedrocker: have you heard the arranged version of the soundtrack?
2008-02-01 16:07 < Messedrocker> no!!!
2008-02-01 16:07 < Axeman> that's just... wow
2008-02-01 16:07 < DannyLilithborne> ...wow
2008-02-01 16:07 < DannyLilithborne> lol
2008-02-01 16:07 < DannyLilithborne> guess he lost patience for useful information
2008-02-01 16:07 < Faroframkallande> it's five minutes long and really eerie
2008-02-01 16:07 < DannyLilithborne> maybe i should have said that 3+3 is 6
2008-02-01 16:08 < minerale> Docking Sleeve is only for our Circumcised american friends
2008-02-01 16:08 < Messedrocker> Faroframkallande, link me to it
2008-02-01 16:08 < Faroframkallande> you'll need to "acquire" it
2008-02-01 16:08 < Faroframkallande> it's actually on the OST
2008-02-01 16:08 < Faroframkallande> and GH is down
2008-02-01 16:09 < Faroframkallande> well, now it's up
2008-02-01 16:09 < Faroframkallande> one second
2008-02-01 16:10 < Faroframkallande> GH doesn't have it :(
2008-02-01 16:11 < Rinn> Does GH update anymore?
2008-02-01 16:11 < Da_emcee> no idea
2008-02-01 16:11 < Da_emcee> but the game came out six years ago
2008-02-01 16:12 < Messedrocker> as well as Metroid Prime :)
2008-02-01 16:12 < Messedrocker> which i actually have yet to play!
2008-02-01 16:14 < DannyLilithborne> metroid fusion is my favorite one, actually
2008-02-01 16:14 < Messedrocker> game? soundtrack?
2008-02-01 16:15 < Faroframkallande> Super > Zero Mission > Fusion > Two
2008-02-01 16:15 < DannyLilithborne> game
2008-02-01 16:16 < DannyLilithborne> i didn't like the original game
2008-02-01 16:16 < Axeman> MIRANDA!!!!!!
2008-02-01 16:16 < Axeman> http://wiki.ts.wikimedia.org/view/Kate%27s_tool
2008-02-01 16:16 < Axeman> O_o
2008-02-01 16:16 < Messedrocker> super metroid is my favorite
2008-02-01 16:16 < Messedrocker> my favorite of the series and my favorite of the SNES
2008-02-01 16:16 < FastLizard4> WTF?!
2008-02-01 16:17 < DannyLilithborne> yeah, that's most people's favorite
2008-02-01 16:17 < DannyLilithborne> i didn't get a chance to play super metroid that much
2008-02-01 16:17 < Messedrocker> it's gucking food!
2008-02-01 16:18 < Faroframkallande> Messedrocker, DannyLilithborne: http://virt.vgmix.com/music/arrange/virt_-_super_metroid_-_crystal_flash.mp3
2008-02-01 16:19 < Faroframkallande> awesome 22 minute fan arrangement

2008-02-01 16:20 < Messedrocker> omg
2008-02-01 16:20 < Messedrocker> memories!!
2008-02-01 16:20 < Messedrocker> memories all flooding back
2008-02-01 16:20 * Messedrocker remembers the rainy beginning
2008-02-01 16:21 < Sfan00> Faroframkallande: ? NES
2008-02-01 16:21 < Sfan00> ?
2008-02-01 16:21 < Messedrocker> Sfan00, Super Metroid
2008-02-01 16:21 < Messedrocker> for SUPER NINTENDO
2008-02-01 16:21 < Messedrocker> copyright 1994
2008-02-01 16:21 < Faroframkallande> METROID 3
2008-02-01 16:21 < Messedrocker> developed by Nintendo Research and Development 1
2008-02-01 16:21 < Faroframkallande> THE LAST METROID IS IN CAPTIVITY
2008-02-01 16:21 < Messedrocker> THE GALAXY IS AT PEACE
2008-02-01 16:21 < Faroframkallande> THE GALAXY IS AT PEACE
2008-02-01 16:21 < Messedrocker> super metroid has a great theme
2008-02-01 16:21 < Messedrocker> very heroic
2008-02-01 16:22 < Faroframkallande> Messedrocker: heard the Relics of the Chozo remix?
2008-02-01 16:22 < Messedrocker> no
2008-02-01 16:22 * FastLizard4 feels like digging out Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
2008-02-01 16:23 * Messedrocker feels like digging out the Super Metroid speed run
2008-02-01 16:23 < Faroframkallande> seriously? Relics of the Chozo is one of the most famous VG arrangements known to man
2008-02-01 16:23 * FastLizard4 decides instead to dig out Star Trek: The Remastered Original Series Season 3
2008-02-01 16:23 < Faroframkallande> http://smproject.ocremix.org/files.html
2008-02-01 16:24 < Messedrocker> ooh, lower norfair theme
2008-02-01 16:24 < Messedrocker> with trumpets!
2008-02-01 16:24 < DannyLilithborne> metroid fusion TAS is probably one of my favorites
2008-02-01 16:25 < Faroframkallande> Main theme > Ridley's theme > anything else
2008-02-01 16:26 < Axeman> http://www.youtube.com/user/WhiteCheddarPopcorn
2008-02-01 16:26 < Axeman> they should draw wikipe-tan
2008-02-01 16:26 * Faroframkallande guitars the main theme for SM
2008-02-01 16:26 < Axeman> heh
2008-02-01 16:26 < Axeman> We should have a Freenode-tan
2008-02-01 16:27 < bumm13> on what type of guitar? ;)
2008-02-01 16:27 < Messedrocker> ohhhhh man
2008-02-01 16:27 < Messedrocker> they took the underwater world song
2008-02-01 16:27 < Faroframkallande> air
2008-02-01 16:27 < Messedrocker> made it sooo good
2008-02-01 16:30 < Faroframkallande> one of the main themes has an awesome guitar part
2008-02-01 16:31 < Faroframkallande> oh, it's Crystal Flash that does it epicly
2008-02-01 16:31 < Messedrocker> yep
2008-02-01 16:31 < Messedrocker> i am listening to it
2008-02-01 16:31 < Faroframkallande> the others are less epic
2008-02-01 16:33 < Faroframkallande> if you want more OCRemixes, get Project Chaos
2008-02-01 16:33 < Faroframkallande> it's the Sonic 3 & Knuckles soundtrack remixed
2008-02-01 16:33 * Faroframkallande grew up mostly on Sega
2008-02-01 16:33 < mavhc> ocr remix? is that like mistaking an r for an n?
2008-02-01 16:33 < Faroframkallande> OCRemix = Overclocked Remix
2008-02-01 16:33 < Faroframkallande> [[Overclocked Remix]]
2008-02-01 16:34 < mavhc> perhaps, but your answer isn't hilarious
2008-02-01 16:34 < Faroframkallande> Snappleman's good, as he did what no man thought possible: made the Doomsday theme into three minutes and thirty-five seconds of pure aural orgasm
2008-02-01 16:35 < DannyLilithborne> there's a new movie called "the eye" coming out
2008-02-01 16:35 < DannyLilithborne> where some blind person gets eye surgery and starts seeing murders happen or something
2008-02-01 16:35 < DannyLilithborne> wasn't there a movie with that exact same plot like 20 years ago?
2008-02-01 16:35 < Messedrocker> pfft
2008-02-01 16:35 < DannyLilithborne> with madeliene stowe i think
2008-02-01 16:35 < privatemusings> blink
2008-02-01 16:36 < Faroframkallande> anything called "Blink" is automatically awesome
2008-02-01 16:36 < mavhc> they don't have any writers now, they just have to make remakes
2008-02-01 16:36 < Faroframkallande> and if you don't believe me
2008-02-01 16:37 < DannyLilithborne> Blink-182
2008-02-01 16:37 < DannyLilithborne> D:
2008-02-01 16:37 < Faroframkallande> Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And Don't Blink. Blink, and you're dead.
2008-02-01 16:37 < Faroframkallande> Good luck.
2008-02-01 16:37 < DannyLilithborne> i think i just undisputably disproved that :D
2008-02-01 16:37 < Faroframkallande> I think I just undisputeably proved that
2008-02-01 16:38 < DannyLilithborne> you didn't even address my point ^_^
2008-02-01 16:38 < Messedrocker> tourian!
2008-02-01 16:38 < DannyLilithborne> blink-182 is as far away from awesome as one can get
2008-02-01 16:38 < bumm13> pretty much
2008-02-01 16:38 < bumm13> do they still even exist?
2008-02-01 16:39 < Faroframkallande> Messedrocker: have you heard Boss Theme 1? (Ridley)
2008-02-01 16:39 < DannyLilithborne> I think they broke up two years ago or something
2008-02-01 16:39 < bumm13> ah
2008-02-01 16:39 < bumm13> no big loss
2008-02-01 16:39 < Messedrocker> Faroframkallande, the original song?
2008-02-01 16:39 < Axeman> btw: http://blink-182.com = porn, so don't click, very nws
2008-02-01 16:39 < Faroframkallande> the remix
2008-02-01 16:39 < Messedrocker> i don't think so
2008-02-01 16:40 < Faroframkallande> I call it Ridley's theme just because it got used awesomely in Fusion and Zero Mission
2008-02-01 16:40 < Faroframkallande> Axeman: that shit really is bananas
2008-02-01 16:40 < Axeman> B-A-N-A-N-A-S
2008-02-01 16:40 < Messedrocker> Faroframkallande, I have all three on my iTunes!! :D
2008-02-01 16:41 < Axeman> http://vgmusic.com (work-safe, video game MIDIs)
2008-02-01 16:43 < WikiHelper> umm guys, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixindex&from=Wikipedia%3ASandbox&namespace=0 can somebody delete the excess test pages?
2008-02-01 16:43 < Axeman> no
2008-02-01 16:44 < Axeman> Oh shit!
2008-02-01 16:44 < Axeman> I looked at [[CAT:ORPHAN]] from july '06
2008-02-01 16:44 < Supaplex> can the template markup (like {{reflist}}) in wikipedia be used in AGPL projects?
2008-02-01 16:44 < Axeman> and the A's still have 43
2008-02-01 16:44 < Axeman> which means I'm the only person working on the backlog
2008-02-01 16:44 < Axeman> jesus christ
2008-02-01 16:44 < Axeman> it's backed up for almost 2 years
2008-02-01 16:47 < kenlyric> probably
2008-02-01 16:48 < The359> We regret to announce that due to
2008-02-01 16:48 < The359> unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, the publication of
2008-02-01 16:48 < The359> The Astrological Magazine
2008-02-01 16:48 < The359> will cease with the December 2007 issue.
2008-02-01 16:48 < The359> lulz
2008-02-01 16:49 < Gwern-away> 'All we want to do is eat your brains \ We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes'
2008-02-01 16:50 < Gwern-away> 'All we want to do is eat your brains \ We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise.'
2008-02-01 16:50 < Axeman> hahaha
2008-02-01 16:51 < Axeman> wait...
2008-02-01 16:51 < Axeman> what?
2008-02-01 16:51 < Gwern-away> lyrics from jonathan coulton's 're: your brains' song
2008-02-01 16:51 < Gwern-away> it's now my second or third favorite of his after 'Still Alive'
2008-02-01 16:53 < ggreer> Gwern-away: that guy is all over the place with his songs
2008-02-01 16:53 < ggreer> some of them are great, some of them suck
2008-02-01 16:53 < geniice> good news on indian copyright law guys
2008-02-01 16:53 < geniice> http://lawandotherthings.blogspot.com/2008/01/are-indian-court-judgments.html
2008-02-01 16:53 < geniice> "Interestingly, the court adopted the "minimal degree of creativity" as the threshold for copyright protection."
2008-02-01 16:54 < Gwern-away> ggreer: true true, but I don't really care about variance. a guy who produces a few brilliant ones and a ton of suck is someone I like better than a consistent mediocrity
2008-02-01 16:54 < Gwern-away> ..except when I'm sorting through them
2008-02-01 16:54 < Supaplex> that's what delete is for!
2008-02-01 16:54 < Supaplex> if you keep crap in your music library, it's not my fault :)
2008-02-01 16:54 < ggreer> yeah
2008-02-01 16:54 < Gwern-away> Supaplex: you still need to listen to them to find out
2008-02-01 16:54 < Supaplex> yea, once.
2008-02-01 16:55 < Gwern-away> and maybe look'em up. I almost deleted Furry Old Lobster because it made no sense
2008-02-01 16:55 < Gwern-away> then I read the blog post, and was all like 'oh, I'm an ignorant cretin, this was better than I thought'
2008-02-01 16:55 < Supaplex> I have a few podcasts. I'd rather chance too slim than too bland
2008-02-01 16:55 < ggreer> Gwern-away: the furry lobster song didn't make sense?
2008-02-01 16:55 < Axeman> lol
2008-02-01 16:55 < ggreer> wasn't it obvious that he was talking about marmots?
2008-02-01 16:56 < Gwern-away> ggreer: not initially to me
2008-02-01 16:56 < ggreer> oh
2008-02-01 16:56 < Axeman> I'm really sick of being the *only person* working on a 100,000-article-plus backlog
2008-02-01 16:56 < Axeman> that really isn't that hard
2008-02-01 16:56 < ggreer> the eating food off their bellies gave it away
2008-02-01 16:56 < Gwern-away> ggreer: no, otters. and I was like, wtf? why is he talking about otters but calling them lobsters?
2008-02-01 16:56 < Axeman> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Orphaned_articles_from_July_2006
2008-02-01 16:56 < Axeman> >:(
2008-02-01 16:56 < ggreer> yeah, otters
2008-02-01 16:56 < ggreer> marmots are those things you run over with golf carts
2008-02-01 16:57 < Gwern-away> heh. and otters are what you wear as you go around in your expensive golf carts
2008-02-01 16:57 < Formentar> ggreer: Nono, those are mormons.
2008-02-01 16:57 < Leslie_S> marmots can also be total losers that annoy people on wikipedia
2008-02-01 16:57 < Gwern-away> he left a long time ago, though
2008-02-01 16:57 < ggreer> you'd think marmots would learn to dodge to the side if they couldn't outrun something
2008-02-01 16:57 < ggreer> but I guess they're just dumb
2008-02-01 16:57 < Gwern-away> (annoying asshole, him and his vandalbots)

2008-02-01 17:09 < aomarks> anyone know what's up with the Babel template?
2008-02-01 17:09 < Axeman> why?
2008-02-01 17:10 < aomarks> contribs aren't showing up correctly
2008-02-01 17:10 < Axeman> ah
2008-02-01 17:10 < aomarks> but template:babel hasn't changed since august 2007
2008-02-01 17:11 < aomarks> is the new wikitext parser live now?
2008-02-01 17:11 < TheVulcan> Hello The_sunder_king

2008-02-01 17:12 < TheVulcan> aomarks: New parser is live

2008-02-01 17:13 < geniice> I'm looking for an en admin
2008-02-01 17:14 < Gracenotes> geniice: 1. Get a time machine 2. Bring yourself from a year ago back to the present 3. Ask him for admin assistance
2008-02-01 17:14 < Gracenotes> there, done
2008-02-01 17:14 < geniice> no
2008-02-01 17:14 < Gracenotes> why, you don't have a time machine?
2008-02-01 17:15 < Gracenotes> :|
2008-02-01 17:15 < geniice> the admin a year ago would claim what I want isn't posible
2008-02-01 17:15 < geniice> I want http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2008&action=edit unprotected
2008-02-01 17:15 < geniice> a year ago it couldn't have been protected
2008-02-01 17:16 < Gracenotes> oh, I see.
2008-02-01 17:16 < Gracenotes> that's why I said you should bring your old you *back* to the present
2008-02-01 17:16 < Gracenotes> so that he can use the same account you currently are
2008-02-01 17:17 < TheVulcan> OH NOES, PART MESSAGE SPAMMERZ!

2008-02-01 17:18 < TheVulcan> [14:16:54] |<-- Neillithan has left irc.freenode.net ("Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org")
2008-02-01 17:18 < Gracenotes> perhaps he/she reset his/her client, and in doing so used the default quit message of the client
2008-02-01 17:19 < Axeman> Miranda has another nefarious plan to take down freenode?
2008-02-01 17:20 * TheVulcan tells Neillithan to get a better client and connection
2008-02-01 17:20 < Neillithan> negative
2008-02-01 17:21 < Neillithan> my connection is just fine btw. i'm just making changes to settings in miranda (unrelated to IRC)
2008-02-01 17:21 < TheVulcan> CTCP version reply “Miranda IM 0.7.3.0 (IRC v.0.7.2.0 Unicode), (c) 2003-07 J.Persson, G.Hazan” from Neillithan
2008-02-01 17:22 < The_sunder_king> what is this about miranda?
2008-02-01 17:22 < Neillithan> i don't know someone's being a butthead
2008-02-01 17:25 < Tony_Sidaway> "hotels.com", I can understand, if that's what she means, but every single time she says it, it sounds like "Hate-els-dot-com"
2008-02-01 17:27 < Tony_Sidaway> I'm sort of intrigued by the Southern vowels, particularly those adopted by the German royal family and its hangers-on
2008-02-01 17:28 < Rinn> I once used a proxy server that made every image show up as a hotels.com logo.
2008-02-01 17:28 < Rinn> And the text didn't display.

2008-02-01 17:37 < DannyLilithborne> is this an appropriate use of userspace?
2008-02-01 17:38 < Messedrocker> drafting an article?
2008-02-01 17:38 < Messedrocker> sure
2008-02-01 17:38 < The359> Yeah, nothing wrong with using it as a soap box
2008-02-01 17:38 < Leslie_S> miranda is some of the most crap software i have ever used
2008-02-01 17:38 < The359> maybe not the best idea, but nothing wrong with it either
2008-02-01 17:38 < DannyLilithborne> ok
2008-02-01 17:38 < DannyLilithborne> just making sure ^_^
2008-02-01 17:38 < eth01> yeah
2008-02-01 17:39 < eth01> I agree, Leslie_S
2008-02-01 17:39 < DannyLilithborne> i'd think it should be in a subpage maybe, i dunno... but if it's fine
2008-02-01 17:39 < The359> yeah, it should
2008-02-01 17:39 < The359> but no biggie
2008-02-01 17:42 * The359 has two sandbox subpages
2008-02-01 17:42 * TheVulcan has 5 sandbox subpages, actually 6, but the last one isn't used much
2008-02-01 17:42 < The359> yeah, I know someone else with 5 or 6
2008-02-01 17:42 < Sfan00> Hi Leslie_S
2008-02-01 17:43 < macieeeq> hi
2008-02-01 17:44 < eth01> Leslie_S, ping
2008-02-01 17:44 < TheVulcan> LordMetroid?
2008-02-01 17:44 * TheVulcan is a tad confused
2008-02-01 17:44 * NotAMetroid latches onto LordMetroid's skull
2008-02-01 17:45 < eth01> Leslie_S, check the realname ;) you will laugh.
2008-02-01 17:45 < LordMetroid> Yes?
2008-02-01 17:45 * TheVulcan orders the USS Enterprise-E to fire all phaser banks 1-15
2008-02-01 17:45 < LordMetroid> Yeauuaaaa... Get it off, get it off!@
2008-02-01 17:45 < eth01> Leslie_S, I can gurantee it.
2008-02-01 17:45 < eth01> guarantee *
2008-02-01 17:45 < geniice> do we think this is a copyvio?
2008-02-01 17:45 < geniice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rick_Springfield_2004_Free.jpg
2008-02-01 17:46 * LordMetroid collapses as a dusty corpse *NotAMetroid is obviously lying about his metroidiness*
2008-02-01 17:46 * NotAMetroid chirps
2008-02-01 17:46 * NotAMetroid seeks his next victim
2008-02-01 17:46 * TheVulcan finds a type-10C compression phaser rifle
2008-02-01 17:46 < NotAMetroid> pfft
2008-02-01 17:46 * TheVulcan sets it to overcharge
2008-02-01 17:46 < NotAMetroid> you know nothing about killing metroids
2008-02-01 17:47 < TheVulcan> Do you think the equivalent force of a few dozen nuclear warheads would work?
2008-02-01 17:47 < NotAMetroid> SHOOT WITH ICE BEAM THEN SHOOT WITH FIVE MISSILES
2008-02-01 17:47 * TheVulcan knows that, is too lazy to look for one
2008-02-01 17:47 < LordMetroid> Nope... Shooting Plasma is darn nigh destructive and that doesn't kill metroids
2008-02-01 17:48 < LordMetroid> Direct hit it with a micro warhead though
2008-02-01 17:48 < LordMetroid> Power bomb and super missiles works nice
2008-02-01 17:49 * NotAMetroid latches onto TheVulcan
2008-02-01 17:49 * TheVulcan is not here atm
2008-02-01 17:49 * TheVulcan tries a mind meld
2008-02-01 17:49 < LordMetroid> geniice: I dunno, the question is obviously how the image was taken
2008-02-01 17:50 < geniice> LordMetroid well to me that looks like an out of focus head on the bottem right so I would say near the front of the crowd with the camera (which is reasonable not not pro standard) zoomed in
2008-02-01 17:50 < LordMetroid> If there was a nay to take any photo during the event then it is a copyvio but if it was not it is just another photo
2008-02-01 17:51 * DannyLilithborne eats NotAMetroid [[Ceviche|with pico de gallo and lemon]]
2008-02-01 17:51 < geniice> there camera isn't exactly one you could sneak in
2008-02-01 17:51 < LordMetroid> Only way to know is to ask the photographer
2008-02-01 17:51 < geniice> I have
2008-02-01 17:51 < geniice> no answer
2008-02-01 17:51 < NotAMetroid> mmmm
2008-02-01 17:51 < NotAMetroid> metroid ceviche!
2008-02-01 17:51 * TheVulcan activates deflector shields
2008-02-01 17:52 < bumm13> ¿con pico de gallo y limón? ;)
2008-02-01 17:52 < LordMetroid> I think the benefit of the doubt is appropiate
2008-02-01 17:52 < LordMetroid> if the artist or event manager want to point out it was a no no to take photos, then that is fine
2008-02-01 17:53 < LordMetroid> fine to remove the image I mean
2008-02-01 17:53 * TheVulcan has a secret weapon against all civilization!
2008-02-01 17:54 < LordMetroid> And I am a Lord of Metroids!

2008-02-01 17:54 < geniice> LordMetroid I was worried if the author was actualy the uploader

2008-02-01 18:02 < Brian_M> There are 24 pages relating to characters and events from Animal Farm... wow
2008-02-01 18:03 < Brian_M> And 50 about 1984
2008-02-01 18:03 * Big-Brother watches NotAMetroid
2008-02-01 18:03 < Brian_M> It's a great book, but is 50 articles about it necessary?
2008-02-01 18:03 < Sfan00> brian_M: Wikipedia is comprhensive on liteary works like that
2008-02-01 18:04 < Sfan00> Brian_M: There's a LOT of political thoery in 1984

2008-02-01 18:11 < Takamatsu> Why is Wikipedia somehow getting more boring?
2008-02-01 18:11 < Takamatsu> NCC-1701, you'd occupy every point in the universe. That's like, transwarp
2008-02-01 18:11 < NCC-1701> No it isn't
2008-02-01 18:11 < LordMetroid> doh, my superior battleship with a 500m long broadside of nuclear warhead launchers is limited to mere magnitues of faster than sound travel
2008-02-01 18:11 < NCC-1701> 1x10^50 is Warp 8
2008-02-01 18:12 < NCC-1701> Warp 10 is infinite velocity
2008-02-01 18:12 < LordMetroid> Takamatsu: en.wikipedia.org never becomes boring.
2008-02-01 18:12 < Takamatsu> Will anyone suggest a more exciting way to edit wikipedia? Like, what article(s) could use a LOT of renovation?
2008-02-01 18:12 * NCC-1701 points to backlogs
2008-02-01 18:12 < LordMetroid> join a task force

2008-02-01 18:14 < NCC-1701> zero1328: Borg is more fun
2008-02-01 18:14 < Shiroi_Neko> you could for example work on japan or japanese related articles
2008-02-01 18:15 < LordMetroid> rightside menu is a selection of the associated task forces

2008-02-01 18:15 < LordMetroid> Because the Borg collective is the only reason why I would want to become an insecti-humanoid-cyborg

2008-02-01 18:37 < Shiroi_Neko> NCC-1701 ran for a while
2008-02-01 18:37 < Shiroi_Neko> we dont know how much

2008-02-01 18:38 < Shiroi_Neko> it ran for at least 10
2008-02-01 18:38 < The359> you mean Captain April, Shiroi_Neko
2008-02-01 18:38 < Shiroi_Neko> Pike was the first captain
2008-02-01 18:38 < The359> No, he wasn't
2008-02-01 18:38 < Shiroi_Neko> April was after pike

Captain Christopher Pike (Jeffrey Hunter) commanded the Enterprise for a decade, and Pike is the commanding officer in the original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage".
