2008-02-01 18:40 < Snurglewozzle> Any admins around?
2008-02-01 18:40 * The359 knew this before Wikipedia existed
2008-02-01 18:40 < Axeman> you get nude pictures in your inbox
2008-02-01 18:40 < Axeman> of her
2008-02-01 18:40 < Axeman> or maybe we could have a dude doing the same thing, if you were gay/female
2008-02-01 18:40 < NCC-1701-E> Axeman: Go away
2008-02-01 18:40 < slashem> um, there was an editor who kept inserting nude photos of herself into articles
2008-02-01 18:40 < slashem> she was, apparently, quite hot
2008-02-01 18:40 < Axeman> NCC-1701-E: no
2008-02-01 18:40 < slashem> but was driven away by controversy
2008-02-01 18:40 < Snurglewozzle> was it christel?
2008-02-01 18:40 < The359> she put them in fetish articles, slashem
2008-02-01 18:40 < Axeman> slashem: Oh shit! Give me the diffs!
2008-02-01 18:40 < Axeman> please...?
2008-02-01 18:40 < slashem> ah, is that right?
2008-02-01 18:41 < The359> I recall one woman who put pictures of herself into various bondage articles
2008-02-01 18:41 < slashem> well, apparently The359 knows more than I do
2008-02-01 18:41 < The359> But there might have been another
2008-02-01 18:41 < Axeman> well, awesome
2008-02-01 18:41 < The359> The diffs would be useless if the pictures are deleted
2008-02-01 18:41 < slashem> note these fotos were not in any way off-topic
2008-02-01 18:41 < Snurglewozzle> Like the pedo on the reff desk :P
2008-02-01 18:41 < slashem> they conformed to the letter of all Wikipedia rules
2008-02-01 18:41 < Axeman> if she's uploading pictures of herself appropriately labeled into appropriate articles
2008-02-01 18:41 < Snurglewozzle> I am a bondage lover
2008-02-01 18:41 < The359> And the guy who uploaded a video of himself ejaculating to the ejaculation article
2008-02-01 18:42 < Axeman> like if you take a self-made picture of bondage and upload it to bondage articles
2008-02-01 18:42 < slashem> but there was too much controversy so she got fed up and left
2008-02-01 18:42 < Axeman> The359: hahaha...
2008-02-01 18:42 < Axeman> Don't lean on me man, 'cuz you can't afford the ticket!
2008-02-01 18:42 < Axeman> Back from BACKLOGGER CITY!
2008-02-01 18:42 < Axeman> Don't lean on me man, 'cuz you ain't got time to edit!
2008-02-01 18:43 < Axeman> Back from BACKLOGGER CITY!
2008-02-01 18:43 < geniice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Gert_Poettering is way to nice. someone dig up some dirt on him
2008-02-01 18:43 < Axeman> geniice: kidding right...?
2008-02-01 18:44 < geniice> The guy is an EMP so no
2008-02-01 18:44 < NCC-1701-E> Greetings spoop
2008-02-01 18:44 < geniice> I can't prove it but ir looks like there have been some fdefinite astorufing efforts by various groups related to the EU
2008-02-01 18:45 < Axeman> lol
2008-02-01 18:45 < Axeman> I hate it when there's something on TV and it attracts my attention.
2008-02-01 18:46 * The359 hates people who need to talk constantly for attention
2008-02-01 18:46 < Axeman> So I make an edit with the summary "Reverting vandalism by Chris Griffin to last version by the stupid TAG commercial"
2008-02-01 18:46 < Rinn> I hate old milk.
2008-02-01 18:47 < Rinn> I hate new milk, too.
2008-02-01 18:48 < DannyLilithborne> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apples_are_yummy&rcid=192168437
2008-02-01 18:48 < DannyLilithborne> in what universe is stuff like this considered a valid use of time
2008-02-01 18:48 < NCC-1701-E> DannyLilithborne: Ours
2008-02-01 18:48 < NCC-1701-E> Hello JohnReaves
2008-02-01 18:49 < Red_Farmer> Danny, I think the key phrase is: "Apples are yummy"
2008-02-01 18:49 < Red_Farmer> it's notable because the cat said so
2008-02-01 18:50 < DannyLilithborne> D:
2008-02-01 18:50 < Rinn> The cat only said apples were not cookies.
2008-02-01 18:50 < Red_Farmer> oh well I misread it
2008-02-01 18:50 < Red_Farmer> lol
2008-02-01 18:50 < Axeman> hello JohnReaves
2008-02-01 18:50 < Red_Farmer> I was thinking about apples
2008-02-01 18:50 < JohnReaves> Since when does every channel I join have damn welcome brigade?
2008-02-01 18:51 < Axeman> JohnReaves: just trying to be friendly... are you pissed today?
2008-02-01 18:51 < Axeman> although, I have to thank you JohnReaves, for blocking me
2008-02-01 18:51 < Shiroi_Neko> JohnReaves <3
2008-02-01 18:51 < Axeman> it pissed me off, but it was probably necessary
2008-02-01 18:51 < JohnReaves> Who are you?
2008-02-01 18:52 < Shiroi_Neko> JohnReaves I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard
2008-02-01 18:52 < Shiroi_Neko> Captain of the NCC-1701-E

2008-02-01 18:52 < MessedRocker> ent-er-prise
2008-02-01 18:52 < Axeman> I could nit-pick and talk about how it was bad...
2008-02-01 18:52 < Red_Farmer> Wow it's a Trekker convention tonight...let me put on my Vulcan ears
2008-02-01 18:52 < JohnReaves> Or you could tell me your username?
2008-02-01 18:52 < MessedRocker> Red_Farmer, earlier it was a Metroid convention
2008-02-01 18:52 * Shiroi_Neko grabs a batleth and severs Red_Farmer's ears
2008-02-01 18:52 * NCC-1701-E looks for LordMetroid to lock weapons onto
2008-02-01 18:52 < JohnReaves> Shiroi_Neko:I am Spartacus
2008-02-01 18:52 < The359> http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y34/kellen_h/mlk_small.jpg oh lord...

2008-02-01 18:55 < Axeman> rinn: me too
2008-02-01 18:55 < DannyLilithborne> i'd sooner eat paper than ramen ^_^
2008-02-01 18:55 < DannyLilithborne> they're pretty much the same thing anyway...
2008-02-01 18:55 < Axeman> Roast beef from Maruchan?!
2008-02-01 18:55 < Axeman> maruchan is the only good ramen
2008-02-01 18:55 < Shiroi_Neko> I usualy eat ramen using a Reaves
2008-02-01 18:55 < Axeman> and even then, only good kind is roast beef
2008-02-01 18:55 < Axeman> OMFG SOCK PUPPETRY
2008-02-01 18:55 < Rinn> SPEAK O' THE DEVIL!

2008-02-01 19:00 < DannyLilithborne> it's like that guy who sang the jigglypuff song
2008-02-01 19:00 < The359> Are you naturally annoying, or are you trying at this?
2008-02-01 19:01 < DannyLilithborne> they just want to be jokes or something
2008-02-01 19:01 < NCC-1701-E> The359: Who are you talking to?
2008-02-01 19:01 < The359> Axeman
2008-02-01 19:02 < Axeman> The359
2008-02-01 19:03 < Axeman> http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Lumberjake&site=en.wikipedia.org
2008-02-01 19:03 < Axeman> HAHAHA!
2008-02-01 19:04 < NCC-1701-E> http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=FastLizard4&site=en.wikipedia.org
2008-02-01 19:04 < NCC-1701-E> Double HA!
2008-02-01 19:04 < NCC-1701-E> party!
2008-02-01 19:05 < Red_Farmer> wow Wikipedia is apparently the nickname of a dog
2008-02-01 19:05 < Axeman> What just happened?
2008-02-01 19:05 < NCC-1701-E> Axeman: I have 1776 edits in the month of january
2008-02-01 19:05 < JohnReaves2> He likes to flood us
2008-02-01 19:06 < Axeman> NCC-1701-E: I've been on Wikipedia since the 29th
2008-02-01 19:07 < Axeman> JohnReaves: you should mute people instead of banning them
2008-02-01 19:07 < Axeman> +q > +b
2008-02-01 19:07 < JohnReaves2> No?
2008-02-01 19:08 < Axeman> Why?
2008-02-01 19:08 < JohnReaves2> Because he likes to sit in here and watch his bots
2008-02-01 19:09 < Axeman> and
2008-02-01 19:09 < JohnReaves2> ...I don't care what you think?
2008-02-01 19:10 < OverlordQ> Hah, my first edit was in 2k4, then it too two years to finally make my second lol :-/
2008-02-01 19:11 < DannyLilithborne> banning trolls is the only worthwhile reason to exercise power
2008-02-01 19:12 < SWATJester> anyone here watch The Wire?
2008-02-01 19:12 < kim_bruning> DannyLilithborne, except if they're really good trolls
2008-02-01 19:13 < DannyLilithborne> "good" and "troll" go together like "Paris Hilton" and "talent"
2008-02-01 19:14 < Xihix> Hey guys
2008-02-01 19:14 < Xihix> Guess whats on the FRONT PAGE?
2008-02-01 19:14 < JohnReaves2> tub girl?
2008-02-01 19:14 < Xihix> nope
2008-02-01 19:14 < Xihix> you'll be surprised!
2008-02-01 19:15 < DannyLilithborne> zomg dookie
2008-02-01 19:15 < DannyLilithborne> wonder how many times the article will be changed to '#REDIRECT [[Feces]]'
2008-02-01 19:15 < DannyLilithborne> by oh-so-clever teenagers
2008-02-01 19:15 * JohnReaves2 has no Greenday so he plays Bad Brains instead to celebrate for Xihix
2008-02-01 19:15 < DannyLilithborne> and even-more-clever burned-out GenXers
2008-02-01 19:15 < Xihix> JohnReaves
2008-02-01 19:16 < Xihix> don't you remember me canvassing the article nonstop?
2008-02-01 19:16 < Xihix> good times....
2008-02-01 19:16 < JohnReaves2> ah yes
2008-02-01 19:17 < Xihix> Yeah.
2008-02-01 19:17 < Snurglewozzle> hi JohnReaves2
2008-02-01 19:18 < JohnReaves2> o hai
2008-02-01 19:18 < Snurglewozzle> sup

2008-02-01 19:19 < JohnReaves2> you?
2008-02-01 19:19 < Snurglewozzle> not much
2008-02-01 19:19 < Snurglewozzle> saw the Spice Girls live yesterday
2008-02-01 19:19 < JohnReaves2> I'm sorry
2008-02-01 19:20 < Snurglewozzle> It rocked!
2008-02-01 19:20 < Snurglewozzle> not like your mom
2008-02-01 19:20 < Vivian> Oh snap!
2008-02-01 19:20 < JohnReaves2> cute
2008-02-01 19:21 < Axeman> what the fuck
2008-02-01 19:21 < Axeman> I'm afk for 10 minutes and everything goes to hell in a handbasket
2008-02-01 19:21 < DannyLilithborne> more like heck in a wickerbasket
2008-02-01 19:22 < izak> Hi! I am here to ask a question
2008-02-01 19:22 < slashem> please ask
2008-02-01 19:22 < DannyLilithborne> lol
2008-02-01 19:22 < izak> How can i denounce the abuses of a admin?
2008-02-01 19:23 < slashem> hm
2008-02-01 19:23 < OverlordQ> Call 411?
2008-02-01 19:23 < DannyLilithborne> cry to your maternal relative?
2008-02-01 19:23 < izak> I want to report a admin that does a rollback to everything i edit.
2008-02-01 19:23 < izak> wich totally sucks
2008-02-01 19:24 < DannyLilithborne> name on wikipedia?
2008-02-01 19:24 < izak> and he's acting like a total jew
2008-02-01 19:24 < Axeman> izak: scream
2008-02-01 19:24 < laporte> I'll call Hitler
2008-02-01 19:25 < DannyLilithborne> well, it's a shot in the dark
2008-02-01 19:25 * NCC-1701-E stares at JohnReaves' +o's
2008-02-01 19:25 < DannyLilithborne> but your edits are probably getting reverted because they suck
2008-02-01 19:25 < Ningyou> pffff
2008-02-01 19:25 * NCC-1701-E quickly disables DCC
2008-02-01 19:26 < Random832> NCC-1701-E: it's not an actual file payload, it's an attempt to trigger a router bug - if you didn't get kicked off, you won't.
2008-02-01 19:26 < NCC-1701-E> Ahhh, good, so it safe to reenable DCC?
2008-02-01 19:26 < DannyLilithborne> you should probably only have it on when you are expecting one anyway
2008-02-01 19:26 < Random832> right - the exploit is a send with invalid parameters that screws up certain stateful firewalls
2008-02-01 19:27 < Random832> DannyLilithborne: it's harmless as long as you don't autoget anyway
2008-02-01 19:27 < Random832> (though, colloquy was bloody annoying with always popping up modal dialog boxes for each 'request')
2008-02-01 19:27 < SWATJester> Wait a sec: Guy comes in here and says someone is acting like a total jew, and you leave him alone, but a guy makes a dumb hitler joke and you ban him?
2008-02-01 19:27 < SWATJester> does that make any sense?
2008-02-01 19:27 < JohnReaves> Hmm?
2008-02-01 19:28 < DannyLilithborne> man... i know people can do what they want with their user talk pages
2008-02-01 19:28 < DannyLilithborne> but this strikes me as just dumb
2008-02-01 19:28 < CathaliN> anyone here speaking french?
2008-02-01 19:28 < DannyLilithborne> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:1bobby93
2008-02-01 19:28 < SWATJester> izak: and he's acting like a total jew
2008-02-01 19:28 < SWATJester> [7:24pm]
2008-02-01 19:28 < SWATJester> laporte: I'll call Hitler
2008-02-01 19:28 < SWATJester> [7:24pm]
2008-02-01 19:28 < JohnReaves2> there we go
2008-02-01 19:28 < SWATJester> I mean, the latter isn't really appropriate, but I don't see it as banworthy
2008-02-01 19:29 < SWATJester> seems more like laporte was making an ill-considered joke
2008-02-01 19:29 < JohnReaves2> meh, obvious troll
2008-02-01 19:29 < JohnReaves2> It was the first thing he said, with no context
2008-02-01 19:29 < SWATJester> ahh
2008-02-01 19:29 < SWATJester> word, that's all I got. Thanks

2008-02-01 19:32 * Julie wants to know what is a queef
2008-02-01 19:32 < JohnReaves2> I think not
2008-02-01 19:32 < Random832> incidentally, i'm about to release a new version of my deletion reason script, that handles prods and unknown speedy tags

2008-02-01 19:32 < JohnReaves2> no
2008-02-01 19:33 < JohnReaves2> that's an exemption
2008-02-01 19:33 < Random832> ok
2008-02-01 19:33 < Random832> oh, wait, it's +e on the _user_, to show you're registered
2008-02-01 19:33 < wimt> Yeah - usermode +e means identified
2008-02-01 19:36 < MessedRocker> is there any hardware difference between the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Nintendo Family Computer?
2008-02-01 19:37 < MagicalBanana> yeah. the name

2008-02-01 19:41 < JohnReaves2> Does it recognize stuff like {{db-context}}?
2008-02-01 19:41 < geniice> rickrolling in text form doesn't work too well
2008-02-01 19:41 < MagicalBanana> geniice nope
2008-02-01 19:41 < Random832> JohnReaves2: is that a tag? it recognizes db-nocontext - it did that from the start
2008-02-01 19:42 < JohnReaves2> ah, I noticed some today it wasn't picking up
2008-02-01 19:42 < Random832> JohnReaves2: well, anyway if it _can't_ figure out what tag it is, it'll just put like "db-nocontext" or "db-reason|foo" in the summary as a last resort
2008-02-01 19:43 < Random832> that's a new feature. and it supports PROD now
2008-02-01 19:43 < JohnReaves2> ooo, does it read the reason?
2008-02-01 19:43 < Random832> it puts the reason in the summary, yeah
2008-02-01 19:43 < Random832> it doesn't parse the timestamps yet
2008-02-01 19:43 < Random832> i'm considering whether to do that
2008-02-01 19:43 < JohnReaves> See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=John_Reaves
2008-02-01 19:44 < Xihix> Anyone wanna page protect [[Dookie]]?
2008-02-01 19:44 < Random832> it didn't catch db-bio?
2008-02-01 19:45 < Random832> hmm, maybe it couldn't find it in thhe list - A7 is tricky
2008-02-01 19:45 < Random832> oh - riht, i changed the reasons so there's not an "A7:", just "A7 (bio)" - which it will pick up, but you have the old version that's looking for just A7
2008-02-01 19:48 < Pilotguy> hmm.
2008-02-01 19:50 < NCC-1701-E> WTF?
2008-02-01 19:50 * UoKy farts
2008-02-01 19:50 < Pilotguy> NCC-1701-E- [[WP:DFTT]]
2008-02-01 19:51 < Gracenotes> Pilotguy: I dislike your anti-troll stance. Please consider changing it.
2008-02-01 19:52 < mcmP> Hi! I'm the rotting remains of a aborted fetus
2008-02-01 19:52 < SPUI> hi ron paul
2008-02-01 19:52 * Mike_H claps
2008-02-01 19:52 < iViqau> Ron Paul wikipedia?
2008-02-01 19:53 < Hildanknight> May I know why Raul654 blocked Majulah Singapura? He did not provide a block reason.
2008-02-01 19:53 < NotASpy> Xihix: we don't page protect today's featured article.
2008-02-01 19:53 < NCC-1701-E> MODE +R PEOPLE!
2008-02-01 19:53 < Not_the_NSA> NCC-1701-E: no
2008-02-01 19:53 < Not_the_NSA> it's not that bad
2008-02-01 19:53 < Pilotguy> ineffective
2008-02-01 19:53 < AndrewB> NCC-1701-E: they are registered
2008-02-01 19:53 < NotASpy> Hildanknight: the blocking reasons thing is fucked up at the moment.
2008-02-01 19:53 < Pilotguy> NCC-1701-E- We are the ops, you are not
2008-02-01 19:53 < Hildanknight> His username is the title of Singapore's national anthem and this issue was raised on the talk of WikiProject Singapore.
2008-02-01 19:54 < NotASpy> Hildanknight: you'll need to ask Raul, there's an ongoing problem with blocking reasons, stuff not showing up in logs and such.
2008-02-01 19:54 < Mike_H> Pilotguy: Check #wikinews for my announcement pls
2008-02-01 19:54 < Hildanknight> The userpage claims he is a sockpuppet of Jon Awbrey. However, Majulah Singapura has made no contribs that could be evidence and the usernames are not similar enough to warrant a block.
2008-02-01 19:54 < DApctTa> Say what what? IN THE BUTT!
2008-02-01 19:54 < Random832> Hildanknight: Raul is a checkuser.
2008-02-01 19:54 < NotASpy> Raul is a checkuser, remember.
2008-02-01 19:55 < FrancoGG> JohnReaves, they're identified
2008-02-01 19:55 < NotASpy> he might well have stumbled across the account whilst checking something else.
2008-02-01 19:55 < JohnReaves2> damn
2008-02-01 19:55 < Random832> how are block reasons screwed up?
2008-02-01 19:55 * Ceiling_Cat returns
2008-02-01 19:55 < Hildanknight> He's a CheckUser? I see. I knew he was an arbitrator and is still the FA director.
2008-02-01 19:56 < Random832> he's also an oversight iirc
2008-02-01 19:56 < Random832> there he is right now, you can ask him
2008-02-01 19:56 * Ceiling_Cat has a lot of hats
2008-02-01 19:56 < Not_the_NSA> Ceiling_Cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2008-02-01 19:56 < NotASpy> Random832: there's a problem somewhere, stuff not showing up in logs, usernames not showing up properly in block logs. It might be fixed now, I'm not sure.
2008-02-01 19:56 * Hildanknight searches the user list for Raul654 and sees no such entry.
2008-02-01 19:56 < Ceiling_Cat> Hildanknight - I am here
2008-02-01 19:56 * Ceiling_Cat waves
2008-02-01 19:56 * Hildanknight meows at Ceiling_Cat
2008-02-01 19:57 < Ceiling_Cat> <-- Raul654
2008-02-01 19:57 * Hildanknight nods.
2008-02-01 19:57 < Random832> Hildanknight: if you don't see someone, ask for them - they might be in, and if they're not, the irc regulars know who's who, as not everyone uses their wiki username as their nick
2008-02-01 19:57 < Hildanknight> Raul, could you explain why you blocked Majulah Singapura?
2008-02-01 19:57 * Arria wonders why she never heard of [[Saint Chad]] before
2008-02-01 19:57 < Sfan00> Unconfirme reports that WoW went down
2008-02-01 19:57 < Ceiling_Cat> who?
2008-02-01 19:57 < Not_the_NSA> Sfan00: huh?
2008-02-01 19:57 < Sfan00> along with Stumbleuppon?
2008-02-01 19:57 < Hildanknight> [[User:Majulah Singapura]]. The username is the title of Singapore's national anthem.
2008-02-01 19:58 < Ceiling_Cat> Jon Awbrey sock
2008-02-01 19:58 < Hildanknight> The block log does not provide a reason.
2008-02-01 19:58 < Ceiling_Cat> the user page does
2008-02-01 19:58 < Ceiling_Crat> Ceiling_Cat, the Ceiling_Crat
2008-02-01 19:58 < NCC-1701-E> Ceiling_Crat?
2008-02-01 19:58 < Sfan00> According to somone on another channel - World or Wracraft had an outage somewhwere
2008-02-01 19:58 < Hildanknight> Ceiling_Cat: yes, the userpage says that. But the user has no contribs.
2008-02-01 19:58 < Sfan00> :(
2008-02-01 19:58 < Xihix> C_C
2008-02-01 19:58 < Ceiling_Cat> Hildanknight - and that makes a difference why?
2008-02-01 19:58 < Xihix> thanks for Dookie :)
2008-02-01 19:58 < Hildanknight> I mean, if he had contribs, they might suggest he's a sock of Jon Awbrey.
2008-02-01 19:59 < Hildanknight> If the usernames were really similar (which they aren't), that might also suggest he's a sock.
2008-02-01 19:59 < Ceiling_Cat> you seem to be under the impression that contribs are necessary for checkuser to tell me if it's someone's sockpuppet
2008-02-01 19:59 < Ceiling_Crat> Ceiling_Cat: how are you O.o
2008-02-01 19:59 < Ceiling_Cat> Ceiling_Cat - I lost my job today
2008-02-01 19:59 < Random832> Hildanknight: if they edit from the same IP address, that would ALSO suggest he's a sock. get it?
2008-02-01 19:59 < Hildanknight> So you found this sock through CheckUser?
2008-02-01 19:59 * Ceiling_Cat does his happy dance
2008-02-01 19:59 < Ceiling_Cat> Hildanknight - yes
2008-02-01 20:00 < Gracenotes> someone should write a paper on YouTube comments. It can be given a scholarly analysis, I'm sure
2008-02-01 20:00 < Ceiling_Cat> So anyway, Ceiling_Crat, I am no longer enslaved to The Man
2008-02-01 20:00 < Sfan00> ROFL
2008-02-01 20:00 < Ceiling_Crat> Ceiling_Cat: huh?
2008-02-01 20:00 < Hildanknight> Ceiling_Cat: I see. Did you provide a block log reason (which did not show up due to an apparent problem with the software), or did you not?
2008-02-01 20:00 < Ceiling_Cat> My job ended today
2008-02-01 20:01 < Sfan00> Well I am sure someone could write a paper on "the development of folklore and myth in Online communities!"
2008-02-01 20:01 < Sfan00> Look at WoW, or even say Wikipedia
2008-02-01 20:01 < Ceiling_Cat> Hildanknight - it's entirely possible that I might have forgotten to give a block reason for one or two of the 50-odd socks of his I blocked recently
2008-02-01 20:01 < Sfan00> Wikipedia's developed it's own myths, heros and folk villans in just under 7 years
2008-02-01 20:01 < Ceiling_Cat> that's why I tag the user pages
2008-02-01 20:01 < Hildanknight> Ceiling_Cat: Please remember to provide a block log reason and indicate that you found the sock through CheckUser. This will help avoid misunderstandings.
2008-02-01 20:01 < NotASpy> O.O
2008-02-01 20:02 * privatemusings wants to know how to look bug eyed like notaspy....
2008-02-01 20:02 < Ceiling_Cat> Hildanknight - it should be perfectly obvious when I block someone and tag their userpage as a sockpuppet of a user who is well known to be indefinitely banned, why I issued the block
2008-02-01 20:02 < NotASpy> I just love it when an experienced member of the community is templated like a newbie on IRC.
2008-02-01 20:02 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Your defense department job?
2008-02-01 20:02 < Mike_H> privatemusings: I'm so excited!
2008-02-01 20:02 < Hildanknight> Not everyone knows that you're a CheckUser. :P
2008-02-01 20:02 < Mike_H> My interview with CariDee is a sure thing, it'll happen on Tuesday!
2008-02-01 20:02 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - yes
2008-02-01 20:02 < privatemusings> mike - and you just can't hide it?
2008-02-01 20:02 < Mike_H> So will Sandy's with Jaslene.
2008-02-01 20:03 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - it was expected
2008-02-01 20:03 < Mike_H> privatemusings: I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
2008-02-01 20:03 < Ceiling_Cat> the really irritating part is
2008-02-01 20:03 < Hildanknight> Someone was concerned about the block and posted on WikiProject Singapore's talk page.
2008-02-01 20:03 < Ceiling_Cat> they still have not posted the paper I wrote in august :(
2008-02-01 20:03 < NotASpy> privatemusings: do O!.!O but remove both of the exclamation remarks.
2008-02-01 20:03 < privatemusings> 0.0
2008-02-01 20:03 < Ceiling_Cat> http://www.arl.army.mil/www/default.cfm?Action=17&Page=239&Topic=TechnicalReports&Filename=BROWSE.CFM&Year=2007
2008-02-01 20:03 < privatemusings> O.O
2008-02-01 20:03 < Ceiling_Cat> See? They only have up to november
2008-02-01 20:03 < privatemusings> hooray!
2008-02-01 20:03 < Gracenotes> privatemusings: yep
2008-02-01 20:03 < Ceiling_Cat> they didn't get around to publishing mine until december
2008-02-01 20:03 < Hildanknight> I think communication helps 1) avoid misunderstandings 2) avoid mistaken decisions.
2008-02-01 20:03 < Ceiling_Cat> because the Army Research Lab's publication system is broken
2008-02-01 20:04 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: I heard you say that it was a limited contract. Do you have anything else lined up?
2008-02-01 20:04 < Sfan00> Erm what area of reaserch? Unless it's CLASSFIED or SECRET
2008-02-01 20:04 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - it was an open-ended internship, but my job became the latest casualty of the iraq war
2008-02-01 20:04 < Ceiling_Cat> they ended all the internships
2008-02-01 20:04 < Ceiling_Cat> Sfan00 - totally unclassified. That was a pre-condition of me taking the job
2008-02-01 20:05 < Ceiling_Cat> that everything I did was publishable
2008-02-01 20:05 < Sfan00> What was it?
2008-02-01 20:05 < Ceiling_Cat> Sfan00 - we created a benchmark, and ran it on a bunch of computers
2008-02-01 20:05 < kenlyric> if it was classified, he couldn't even tell us he was working on something classified.
2008-02-01 20:05 < Sfan00> Oh right :)
2008-02-01 20:05 < Ceiling_Cat> Ask me when the paper I wrote is published and I'll give you the link
2008-02-01 20:05 < Sfan00> Hardly cutting edge stuff then :)
2008-02-01 20:05 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Ah. Sorry to hear about that.
2008-02-01 20:05 < NotASpy> Hildanknight: yeah, you're sort of stating the obvious. This isn't a deliberate error, we've all forgotten to put in a block summary occasionally, especially when we're in a hurry to block someone, we occasionally delete an article with the wrong CSD reason.
2008-02-01 20:06 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - I will *not* miss the 1 hour (one way) commute
2008-02-01 20:06 < Hildanknight> Ceiling_Cat: OK, I trust that you know what you're doing. However, were they editing from a shared IP?
2008-02-01 20:07 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Heh. I sympathize. So you have anything lined up next, or will you be taking an (in)voluntary vacation?
2008-02-01 20:07 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - I'm going back to being a grad student full time
2008-02-01 20:07 < Ceiling_Cat> Hildanknight - I don't remember. That was a while ago
2008-02-01 20:07 < Hildanknight> NotASpy: I understand that admins occasionally make mistakes. I don't blame them as long as they try to rectify it. :)
2008-02-01 20:07 < Hildanknight> Ceiling_Cat: OK.
2008-02-01 20:08 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Ah. What are you getting your Masters or PhD in?
2008-02-01 20:08 < Ceiling_Cat> anyway, so starting next week I'm actually putting pen to paper to write my masters
2008-02-01 20:08 < Ceiling_Cat> I want to walk in May
2008-02-01 20:09 < quanticle> What is your Masters thesis about?
2008-02-01 20:09 < quanticle> Have you decided, Ceiling_Cat?
2008-02-01 20:10 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - the first two chapters will be copied straight out of my phd proposal
2008-02-01 20:10 < Ceiling_Cat> describing why frequency scaling no longer works and why we are going to multicore
2008-02-01 20:10 < Ceiling_Cat> the next chapter will describe the work I did porting the NAS CG code to Cyclops64
2008-02-01 20:10 < Ceiling_Cat> and the final chapters will describe the mstack benchmark, and the work I did on it - in particular, porting it to the MTA-2
2008-02-01 20:10 < Ceiling_Cat> (aka, my own personal one-of-a-kind supercomputer)
2008-02-01 20:11 < Ceiling_Cat> oh, by the way - the results of our Mstack study showed that C-to-HDL language suck terribly
2008-02-01 20:11 < Ceiling_Cat> avoid like the plague
2008-02-01 20:12 < kenlyric> C bad?
2008-02-01 20:12 < kenlyric> what good?
2008-02-01 20:12 < Ceiling_Cat> no, C is good
2008-02-01 20:12 < Ceiling_Cat> C-to-HDL is bad
2008-02-01 20:12 < kenlyric> did I just translate HDL incorrectly?
2008-02-01 20:13 < Ceiling_Cat> HDL = hardware description language
2008-02-01 20:13 < Ceiling_Cat> (aka, VHDL or Verilog)
2008-02-01 20:13 < kenlyric> I was thinking Machine Language for some reason.
2008-02-01 20:14 < Ceiling_Cat> there are a bunch of C-like languages out there for describing circuit behavior
2008-02-01 20:14 < Ceiling_Cat> they are all bad.
2008-02-01 20:14 < Ceiling_Cat> Time consuming to program, and they don't give very good performance
2008-02-01 20:14 < Ceiling_Cat> the best case we found got 1/3 the speed of a Pentiun Core (Woodcrest) chip
2008-02-01 20:14 < Ceiling_Cat> (a woodcrest using a single core)
2008-02-01 20:15 < Ceiling_Cat> and that's on an embarrasingly parallel application -- so the playing field was automatically in favor of the FPGA to start with
2008-02-01 20:16 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: So you're basically saying that FPGAs designed by VHDL are slower than manually programmed FPGAs?
2008-02-01 20:17 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - no, I'm saying that FPGAs programmed using C-to-HDL languages are slower than equilvant code running on a general purpose processor
2008-02-01 20:17 < Random832> ...the hell? google isn't showing movie times for kerasotes theatres
2008-02-01 20:17 < Ceiling_Cat> much slower, in fact. And that's on an app that the FPGA should rightfully have *killed* the processor
2008-02-01 20:18 < Ceiling_Cat> the FPGAs got performance equivalent to 5 MTA-2 processors
2008-02-01 20:18 < Ceiling_Cat> which is really, really bad
2008-02-01 20:19 < Ceiling_Cat> (the MTA-2 is a 200mhz VLIW machine from 1990)
2008-02-01 20:19 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Oh. So you're basically saying that its still more profitable to program in VHDL directly, rather than to rely on C to VHDL compilers.
2008-02-01 20:20 < Ceiling_Cat> I can't comment on VHDL itself. We did not try to implement it in raw VHDL.
2008-02-01 20:22 * Ceiling_Cat ambles off
2008-02-01 20:22 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Bye. Good luck with your thesis!
2008-02-01 20:22 < Xihix> C_C I love you
2008-02-01 20:39 < Ceiling_Crat> Ceiling_Cat: I haz srs question
2008-02-01 20:39 < Ceiling_Crat> Ceiling_Cat: why did we put an article meaning "Poop" on the main page
2008-02-01 20:39 * Ceiling_Crat thinks unprofessional and prone to vandalism O.o
2008-02-01 20:40 < Ceiling_Cat> Hrmm....
2008-02-01 20:41 < Ceiling_Cat> the third internet cable to the middle east has been cut
2008-02-01 20:41 < Ceiling_Cat> this is big news
2008-02-01 20:41 < Ceiling_Crat> Ceiling_Cat: on purpose? O.o
2008-02-01 20:41 < Ceiling_Cat> that's 3 in the last week
2008-02-01 20:41 < Ceiling_Cat> I mean, when it was 2, they said it might be intentional
2008-02-01 20:41 < Ceiling_Cat> and then a third one went dark the next day
2008-02-01 20:42 < Warpath> hey Ceiling_Crap and Ceiling_Cat :DD
2008-02-01 20:42 < Ceiling_Cat> the chances that 3 cables accidentally got cut in the same week is basically 0
2008-02-01 20:42 * Warpath facehuggles Ceiling_Cat :DD
2008-02-01 20:42 * Ceiling_Cat gets out his grease, greases up Warpath
2008-02-01 20:42 < Warpath> O_o
2008-02-01 20:42 < Warpath> eeek Greasy_Cat :P
2008-02-01 20:43 < Ceiling_Crat> Warpath: !
2008-02-01 20:43 < Ceiling_Cat> BRB
2008-02-01 20:43 < Warpath> you !
2008-02-01 20:45 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: And yet, somehow my friend in India is still on the Internet. I know this because I was just talking to him.
2008-02-01 20:45 < brown_cat_nap> me cuddles Ceiling_Cat
2008-02-01 20:45 < brown_cat_nap> O_o
2008-02-01 20:45 * brown_cat_nap cuddles Warpath
2008-02-01 20:45 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: The latest word is that its a conspiracy by the NSA to get listening devices on the cables.
2008-02-01 20:45 < quanticle> Oh. He left.
2008-02-01 20:46 * Warpath kicks brown_cat
2008-02-01 20:46 * brown_cat holds onto Warpath
2008-02-01 20:47 < Mike2> http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSEIC16848020080201
2008-02-01 20:48 * Warpath buys wikimedia for 3 million :P
2008-02-01 20:48 < Mike2> "We had to look it up on (online encyclopedia) Wikipedia. But we certainly know who she is now."
2008-02-01 20:48 < arcimboldo_> What's our share price?
2008-02-01 20:49 * Demi lives where Lolita was written, but hasn't read it
2008-02-01 20:50 * brown_cat sells the WMF to [[Dow]]
2008-02-01 20:50 < Mike2> woah, Microsoft's going to buy Yahoo?
2008-02-01 20:50 < Demi> so i hear
2008-02-01 20:51 < quanticle> Demi: You live in Paris?
2008-02-01 20:51 < quanticle> Demi: Is the city always overrun with tourists?
2008-02-01 20:51 < Demi> quanticle - no, i live in ashland, oregon
2008-02-01 20:51 < quanticle> Mike2: Yeah. 45 billion dollars.
2008-02-01 20:51 < quanticle> Demi: He wrote Lolita in Oregon?
2008-02-01 20:52 < Sfan00> Mike2: It needs to take on Google somehow
2008-02-01 20:52 < Demi> quanticle - yes
2008-02-01 20:52 * brown_cat waves to Sfan00
2008-02-01 20:52 < Sfan00> It's not as if Google's in the software business though
2008-02-01 20:52 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-02-01 20:52 < Sfan00> I mean we don't have an explicit Google OS yet
2008-02-01 20:52 < Sfan00> :)
2008-02-01 20:52 < quanticle> Sfan00: Well neither is Yahoo.
2008-02-01 20:52 < Sfan00> It will happen though
2008-02-01 20:53 < Sfan00> Yahoo as a brand name might vanish though
2008-02-01 20:53 < Sfan00> As it's subsumed into Live Search
2008-02-01 20:53 < Demi> i doubt that, it's everything but the brand name that might vanish
2008-02-01 20:53 < arcimboldo_> But hotmail has basically vanished compared to its meaning a couple of years ago.
2008-02-01 20:53 * NCC-1701-E yells at brown_cat

2008-02-01 20:54 < Sfan00> brown_cat: Hello
2008-02-01 20:54 < kyorosuke> "Lolita in Oregon" would be a good name for some kind of indie rock band. And by "good", I mean "dumb but intelligent sounding".
2008-02-01 20:54 < Sfan00> I have to go soon
2008-02-01 20:54 < brown_cat> :(
2008-02-01 20:54 < Sfan00> And where's that evidence I suggested you found?

2008-02-01 20:55 < arcimboldo_> Microsoft bough Corel a couple of years ago.

2008-02-01 20:55 < arcimboldo_> Anything that remains?
2008-02-01 20:55 < arcimboldo_> Or am I mixing up names?
2008-02-01 20:55 < Sfan00> Not corel

2008-02-01 20:57 < Sfan00> to see if it's possible :)
2008-02-01 20:58 < arcimboldo_> Ok, it wasn't a takeover, it was just a "strategic alliance" with MS.
2008-02-01 20:58 < brown_cat> NCC-1701-E: no
2008-02-01 20:59 < Sfan00> Strategic alliances are what led to massive casulties of the Great War :(
2008-02-01 20:59 < NCC-1701-E> brown_cat: yes

2008-02-01 21:34 < OverlordQ> oklahoma is famous for it's retarded 3.2 liquor laws :D
2008-02-01 21:34 < Gwern-away> 'Schneier knows if Reiser did it.' <-- this one is a good way to start a little argument about whether reiser is guilty or innocent
2008-02-01 21:34 < Iphorita> Hello doomssassin, welcome here :-)
2008-02-01 21:35 < Gwern-away> doomssassin: great. welcome to the club. given that you've made it to #wikipedia, you can probably hack it - as you've already displayed more intelligent than most anon editors...
2008-02-01 21:35 < doomssassin> :-\
2008-02-01 21:35 < doomssassin> i'm pretty stupid, actually, for a college student.
2008-02-01 21:35 < Gwern-away> 'Bruce Schneier is able to read every Unlambda program.' <-- impressive
2008-02-01 21:36 < kyorosuke> [[Paul Reiser]] is guilty of a lot of things
2008-02-01 21:36 < kyorosuke> doomssassin: trust me, you already seem smarter than many of my classmates
2008-02-01 21:36 < Gwern-away> think Hans Reiser
2008-02-01 21:36 < kyorosuke> namely, that you can read
2008-02-01 21:37 < Gwern-away> 'Bruce Schneier is the guy that put Stephen Hawking in that wheelchair.' <-- bad ass
2008-02-01 21:37 < doomssassin> thanks, kyorosuke.
2008-02-01 21:37 < Gwern-away> of course, we should ask if doomssassin is a friend of a gay :)
