2008-02-09 01:41 < OverlordQ> link-local leaves your host
2008-02-09 01:42 < OverlordQ> it reaches neighbors, it's used for "Hey anybody else out there?"
2008-02-09 01:43 < vb> how to do link-local addressing ?
2008-02-09 01:44 < OverlordQ> ?
2008-02-09 02:21 < TheWeasel> Oscar Wilde said *everything*
2008-02-09 02:21 < NedScott> anyone want to help talk some sense into [[User:AeronPrometheus]]?
2008-02-09 02:21 < NedScott> he just "reported" me on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism
2008-02-09 02:22 < NedScott> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=190131910&oldid=190131507
2008-02-09 02:23 < NedScott> he thinks I'm a vandal because I restored color and width options to nav templates
2008-02-09 02:25 < TheWeasel> (8...
2008-02-09 02:25 < TheWeasel> sorry
2008-02-09 02:25 < TheWeasel> Damn you, return key, for constantly popping up below my finger.

2008-02-09 02:27 * NedScott resists the urge to just rip into this guy
2008-02-09 02:28 < TheWeasel> Gotta love the officious language.
2008-02-09 02:28 < NedScott> I even tried to point out to him that every infobox and nav box template on The Simpsons article series has a custom color
2008-02-09 02:29 < TheWeasel> You're limiting his personality.
2008-02-09 02:29 < NedScott> yet he insists that I'm a vandal for putting it back when he removes it from the simpsons game nav box
2008-02-09 02:29 < TheWeasel> tyrant!
2008-02-09 02:29 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-02-09 02:29 < NedScott> ha

2008-02-09 02:40 < brown_cat> Mike_H: you need to watch some tv which is slightly better (slowly, we can get you away from trashy american tv)
2008-02-09 02:40 < Magnifier> what is Big Brother?
2008-02-09 02:40 < Magnifier> a TV show ?
2008-02-09 02:40 < brown_cat> first you need to start watching dancing with the stars xD

2008-02-09 03:17 < bumm13> fun :P
2008-02-09 03:17 < NedScott> My reply:
2008-02-09 03:17 < NedScott> Hi Mike! Please don't send me this e-mail spam shit, and please don't waste my time with your shitty offer for my personal website that I got for the sake of an e-mail account.
2008-02-09 03:17 < NedScott> Did you look at my website, Mike? Does it look like I give a fuck about Google rankings? Please eat shit and die. Thanks.
2008-02-09 03:17 < NedScott> He has an office phone number too
2008-02-09 03:17 < NedScott> on monday I'm going to call it
2008-02-09 03:17 < NedScott> I tried just now, but they're closed
2008-02-09 03:18 < NedScott> oooh
2008-02-09 03:18 < NedScott> ha
2008-02-09 03:18 < NedScott> fuck
2008-02-09 03:18 < NedScott> this is all in the wrong window

2008-02-09 03:18 < NedScott> sorry about that
2008-02-09 03:19 < bumm13> that's okay, it's entertaining
2008-02-09 03:19 < NedScott> I am assuming, of course, that there is no "Mike"
2008-02-09 03:20 < NedScott> just some automatic e-mail robot
2008-02-09 03:20 < cimon> http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=6954 - methinks the guy has a point...
2008-02-09 03:23 < cimon> brutal invasion of iraq is pov language, but if Time is inaccurate, taht isn't goood either.
2008-02-09 03:28 < JessicaTaylor> wow a toolserver
2008-02-09 03:28 < JessicaTaylor> tool server = server for tools
2008-02-09 03:28 < JessicaTaylor> I should go there.
2008-02-09 03:28 < JessicaTaylor> Hello everybody!
2008-02-09 03:28 < bumm13> meowf?
2008-02-09 03:28 < The359> ok then
2008-02-09 03:28 < bumm13> hi
2008-02-09 03:31 * brown_cat 's brain has a wet dream
2008-02-09 03:31 * brown_cat wakes up
2008-02-09 03:32 * brown_cat sits on bumm13
2008-02-09 03:34 < JessicaTaylor> Phew
2008-02-09 03:34 < JessicaTaylor> Atleast he didn't sit on me
2008-02-09 03:34 < JessicaTaylor> after a wet dream
2008-02-09 03:35 < OverlordQ> Grrr
2008-02-09 03:35 < OverlordQ> trying to remember movie trailer I saw while back but my mind has gone blank :(
2008-02-09 03:36 < The359> figures the first response to that is an advert to join WikipediaReview, cimon
2008-02-09 03:36 < brown_cat> JessicaTaylor: no, my brain did, not me
2008-02-09 03:37 < JessicaTaylor> oh
2008-02-09 03:37 < JessicaTaylor> Remove your brain then
2008-02-09 03:37 * brown_cat takes out his br
2008-02-09 03:37 < brown_cat> som
2008-02-09 03:37 < cimon> The359: well, I think the crux of the matter there is that it is clear Time was being misleading/purposefully obtuse/speculative
2008-02-09 03:37 * brown_cat dies
2008-02-09 03:38 * brown_cat comes back to life
2008-02-09 03:38 * brown_cat jumps onto JessicaTaylor's lap
2008-02-09 03:38 * JessicaTaylor throws brown_cat into the fire
2008-02-09 03:38 < brown_cat> O_o

2008-02-09 03:38 * brown_cat wonders what he did
2008-02-09 04:17 * brown_cat looks for some milk
2008-02-09 04:27 * brown_cat sneaks around
2008-02-09 04:27 * brown_cat scares bumm13 >:D
2008-02-09 04:44 * TheWeasel adheres to his seat rather than the IRC guidelines
2008-02-09 04:44 < TheWeasel> Something sticky this way comes.
2008-02-09 04:45 < brown_cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuna_Yala = Germany?
2008-02-09 04:45 < TheWeasel> the Nazis adopted it cause they saw themselves as in one line with northern Indian culture, where the swastika is ubiquitous
2008-02-09 04:46 < TheWeasel> this thing is the other way round anyway :-D
2008-02-09 04:46 < brown_cat> stupid indian nazi's
2008-02-09 04:46 < TheWeasel> Just that the Spanish nazi party now has to look for a different flag
2008-02-09 04:46 < Mike_H> The flag of Kuna Yala was adopted in 1925, and is based on a swastika design, an ancient symbol in Kuna culture. A number of variations on the flag have existed over the years; red top and bottom bands instead of orange were previously used, and in 1942 a ring was added to the centre of the flag to differentiate it from the symbol of the Nazi party (this version subsequently fell into disuse).
2008-02-09 04:46 < brown_cat> xD
2008-02-09 04:47 < TheWeasel> In India, those things are on matchboxes and notebooks and whatnot.
2008-02-09 04:48 < brown_cat> :o
2008-02-09 04:48 < TheWeasel> with dots between the arms, it's an old Hindu symbol
2008-02-09 04:48 < bumm13> it was always their symbol (so to speak), anyway
2008-02-09 04:48 * brown_cat has learned some stuff
2008-02-09 04:49 < bumm13> the original Legend of Zelda has a level shaped as an "inverse" swastika (manji)
2008-02-09 04:49 < TheWeasel> much of the public in India sees Hitler as rather more neutral than we do, just an "important guy from history", like say Churchill
2008-02-09 04:49 < bumm13> as does most of east Asia
2008-02-09 04:49 < TheWeasel> and so there are some cultural misunderstandings
2008-02-09 04:50 < TheWeasel> I read about a restaurant in India chock full of Nazi paraphernalia
2008-02-09 04:50 < bumm13> hmm
2008-02-09 04:50 < TheWeasel> the guy was completely oblivious to their nature
2008-02-09 04:50 < TheWeasel> he just thought they looked cool
2008-02-09 04:51 < bumm13> yeah
2008-02-09 04:53 < TheWeasel> Well, me sports, I'll brb.
2008-02-09 04:59 < TheWeasel> Back
2008-02-09 04:59 < TheWeasel> Saynomore, squire.
2008-02-09 05:01 < bumm13> you sub-knight!
2008-02-09 05:02 < TheWeasel> "knowingly" is a fun word
2008-02-09 05:03 < TheWeasel> "photography, ay, he asked him knowingly"
2008-02-09 05:03 * bumm13 moves Sc3 Sf6
2008-02-09 05:04 < TheWeasel> Vienna Game
2008-02-09 05:04 < bumm13> hmm?
2008-02-09 05:04 < TheWeasel> Fritz calls that "We don't want anything, and even that not immediately"
2008-02-09 05:05 < bumm13> :#
2008-02-09 05:05 < TheWeasel> 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 is called a fairly modest opening proposal
2008-02-09 05:05 < TheWeasel> but it does have fierce lines
2008-02-09 05:05 < bumm13> heh
2008-02-09 05:05 < bumm13> I just copied it from the chess notation article on WP ;)
2008-02-09 05:06 * TheWeasel just watches a transposed Philidor which Black is losing badly
2008-02-09 05:06 < bumm13> except I moved a squire instead of a knight ;)
2008-02-09 05:06 < TheWeasel> Heh, the democratic chess
2008-02-09 05:06 < bumm13> (aka Children's Crusade modest opening proposal)
2008-02-09 05:06 < TheWeasel> President and Prime Minister
2008-02-09 05:06 < bumm13> heh
2008-02-09 05:06 < TheWeasel> and the Bishops are psychologists
2008-02-09 05:06 < bumm13> zomg!
2008-02-09 05:06 < bumm13> L. Ron will destroy those sets!
2008-02-09 05:07 < TheWeasel> and the rooks are border patrols
2008-02-09 05:07 < TheWeasel> haha
2008-02-09 05:07 < TheWeasel> 19.Rxd4!!
2008-02-09 05:07 < TheWeasel> whoa
2008-02-09 05:07 * brown_cat gives TheWeasel a present
2008-02-09 05:07 < TheWeasel> nice one
2008-02-09 05:07 < bumm13> what was captured?
2008-02-09 05:07 < brown_cat> a nazi?
2008-02-09 05:07 < TheWeasel> Rook sacrifice
2008-02-09 05:07 < bumm13> ah ok
2008-02-09 05:07 < TheWeasel> a horse
2008-02-09 05:08 < TheWeasel> I dunno
2008-02-09 05:08 < TheWeasel> Mounted police
2008-02-09 05:08 < bumm13> :)
2008-02-09 05:08 * bumm13 sux0rs at chess :x
2008-02-09 05:08 < TheWeasel> As I heard, calling it a knight is counter-revolutionary so I won't
2008-02-09 05:08 < bumm13> novelty chess sets can be kind of fun
2008-02-09 05:16 < ggreer|iBook> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Chaubaby
2008-02-09 05:16 < ggreer|iBook> that guy just vandalized the STS-122 article
2008-02-09 05:17 < ggreer|iBook> I reverted it, but an admin probably needs to discipline the user
2008-02-09 05:18 < ggreer|iBook> !admin
2008-02-09 05:19 < ggreer|iBook> :/
2008-02-09 05:19 < TheWeasel> people tend to be allergic to pinning
2008-02-09 05:20 < TheWeasel> I guess discipline is not our aim, just self-defence if necessary.
2008-02-09 05:20 < bumm13> !ggreer
2008-02-09 05:20 < ggreer|iBook> whatever, just do whatever is done when people put porn on articles linked on the front page
2008-02-09 05:20 < ggreer|iBook> yo
2008-02-09 05:20 < bumm13> howdy :)
2008-02-09 05:20 < bumm13> hiya Mark_Ryan
2008-02-09 05:20 < ggreer|iBook> I am too lazy to grab my macbook out of the other room
2008-02-09 05:20 < bumm13> \o/
2008-02-09 05:24 * TheWeasel wonders if we have a "Cheese in the UK" article
2008-02-09 05:25 < ggreer|iBook> I bet it's a stub that says "tastes just as bad as every other UK food"
2008-02-09 05:26 < earthnative> it'd have a link to the Monty Python cheeseshop sketch, but it'd be removed as being irrelevant in another edit
2008-02-09 05:26 < Mark_Ryan> hullo, bumm13
2008-02-09 05:26 < TheWeasel> Cheddar is ubiquitous in America, it's almost unknown here on the continent
2008-02-09 05:28 < TheWeasel> o.o marbled cheeses
2008-02-09 05:34 < TheWeasel> someone should get around to writing a more adequate search environment.
2008-02-09 05:35 * TheWeasel sets up a potentially seven-hour game from a random opening position
2008-02-09 05:38 < doomssassin> I hate all nighters.
2008-02-09 05:44 < Mark_Ryan> doomssassin: I was about to kick you then. I misread "nighters". I need sleep.
2008-02-09 05:44 < OverlordQ> lol
2008-02-09 05:47 < doomssassin> Mark_Ryan : Nothing against black people. Nothing for them either, but then again, I have nothing for anyone. I hate all with an equal passion.
2008-02-09 05:49 < OverlordQ> ok gunnery sgt hartman
2008-02-09 05:55 < eptalon> hello all
2008-02-09 05:55 < doomssassin> I need super glue disbondant.
2008-02-09 05:56 < eptalon> I am looking for a (possibly toolsever) page that can give some stats (like article sizes, without various sections, etc) for articles.
2008-02-09 06:07 < Mark_Ryan> eptalon: for a specific article, or for all articles in an aggregate fashion?
2008-02-09 06:07 < White_Cat> Mark_Ryan
2008-02-09 06:07 < Mark_Ryan> mmm?
2008-02-09 06:07 < White_Cat> who is your closest wikifriend
2008-02-09 06:07 < White_Cat> I am testing a tool
2008-02-09 06:08 < Mark_Ryan> do you in terms of my on-wiki interaction, or wikipedia community in general?
2008-02-09 06:08 < White_Cat> either way
2008-02-09 06:08 < Mark_Ryan> in that case, probably Becca
2008-02-09 06:09 < White_Cat> thats User:Mark and User:Becca right?
2008-02-09 06:09 < Mark_Ryan> i think that's her user name, yeah
2008-02-09 06:09 < White_Cat> nope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Becca
2008-02-09 06:10 < Mark_Ryan> sorry, Rebecca then
2008-02-09 06:11 < White_Cat> ah
2008-02-09 06:11 < White_Cat> checking
2008-02-09 06:11 < White_Cat> the tool basicaly checks commonly edited pages
2008-02-09 06:11 < White_Cat> I am trying to figure out what is the common number
2008-02-09 06:12 < White_Cat> you know, normal number of pages that people edit in common
2008-02-09 06:12 < White_Cat> in your case its 330: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~bjweeks/cgi-bin/wikistalk.py?user1=Mark&user2=Mark&user3=Rebecca
2008-02-09 06:12 < eptalon> Did I miss osmething?
2008-02-09 06:13 < eptalon> I was looking for a (possibly toolsever) page that can give some stats (like article sizes, without various sections, etc) for articles.
2008-02-09 06:13 < White_Cat> Mark_Ryan and you are a person editing since 2001 :)
2008-02-09 06:14 < Mark_Ryan> eptalon, i wanted to know if you meant stats for a single page, or all pages
2008-02-09 06:15 < Mark_Ryan> White_Cat: in our case we have common interests (Australia) so we have probably reverted vandalism on a lot of the same pages
2008-02-09 06:15 < White_Cat> yes
2008-02-09 06:15 < eptalon> Mark_Ryan: I am from SipmleWP; there we have fixed some targets for "Good articles" (3.5k text, excluding auxiliaries) and "very good articles" (5k, same formalities)
2008-02-09 06:15 < White_Cat> and even then its not every australia related page
2008-02-09 06:16 < White_Cat> and also most fo your common edits are on hot topics
2008-02-09 06:16 < White_Cat> like arbitration elections
2008-02-09 06:16 < eptalon> Mark_Ryan: The history only give total text; What I would need is text without infoboxes, images, etc.
2008-02-09 06:16 < eptalon> for a page at a time
2008-02-09 06:16 < eptalon> Mark_Ryan: see http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simple_talk#Good_articles_is_now_a_guideline
2008-02-09 06:16 < Mark_Ryan> eptalon, in that case, I don't really know of any tools that could help you :-\
2008-02-09 06:16 < White_Cat> you both edited [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] :P
2008-02-09 06:17 < eptalon> Mark_Ryan: never mind, then.
2008-02-09 06:18 < eptalon> Mark_Ryan: "The article must have a certain length. A minimum is 3.5 kilobytes, not including infoboxes, images, references, other websites, interwiki, and categories." from the good article critera.
2008-02-09 06:18 < Mark_Ryan> eptalon: I believe there is a Toolserver wiki, you might be able to find such a tool there, or at the very least, someone who might be willing to make one for you
2008-02-09 06:18 < White_Cat> Mark_Ryan hah you both edited Harry_Potter_and_the_Half-Blood_Prince :P
2008-02-09 06:18 < White_Cat> probably you are right
2008-02-09 06:18 < eptalon> Mark_Ryan: where's that wiki?
2008-02-09 06:18 < White_Cat> you guys rc patrol a good amount of time
2008-02-09 06:18 < Mark_Ryan> eptalon, let me find you the link, hang on
2008-02-09 06:19 < Mark_Ryan> White_Cat: not true, I haven't clicked on 'recent changes' in a very long time. i revert vandalism from OTRS messages mostly
2008-02-09 06:19 < White_Cat> yes
2008-02-09 06:19 < White_Cat> but you rc patroled at one point
2008-02-09 06:20 < Mark_Ryan> eptalon: http://wiki.ts.wikimedia.org/view/Main_Page
2008-02-09 06:20 < White_Cat> and she has too
2008-02-09 06:20 < White_Cat> which explains most of those entries
2008-02-09 06:20 < Mark_Ryan> true
2008-02-09 06:20 < White_Cat> I guess a time stamp would help more
2008-02-09 06:20 < White_Cat> if your edits are say a year apart thats not exactly meat puppetary
2008-02-09 06:21 < Mark_Ryan> is that what the tool's for?
2008-02-09 06:21 < eptalon> Mark_Ryan: thanks
2008-02-09 06:22 < Mark_Ryan> if so, it might hit a lot of false positives, White_Cat, among people very active among project-space discussions
2008-02-09 06:22 < White_Cat> Mark_Ryan you are right
2008-02-09 06:22 < White_Cat> in your spesific example
2008-02-09 06:22 < White_Cat> [[I am looking at [[List of airports in Australia]]]]
2008-02-09 06:22 < White_Cat> gah
2008-02-09 06:22 < White_Cat> [[List of airports in Australia]]
2008-02-09 06:23 * Mark_Ryan doesn't even remember editing that article
2008-02-09 06:23 < White_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_airports_in_Australia&diff=4371043&oldid=4366178
2008-02-09 06:23 < White_Cat> 02:01, 30 June 2004
2008-02-09 06:23 < White_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_airports_in_Australia&diff=3980979&oldid=3976312
2008-02-09 06:23 < White_Cat> 02:44, 8 June 2004
2008-02-09 06:23 < White_Cat> they are like 22 days apart
2008-02-09 06:23 < White_Cat> and arent even related
2008-02-09 06:23 < Mark_Ryan> White_Cat: clearly, we are one and the same person :)
2008-02-09 06:23 < White_Cat> so thats a false positive
2008-02-09 06:24 * Mark_Ryan should probably go through and re-disambiguate fresh links to [[Perth]]
2008-02-09 06:24 < White_Cat> Mark_Ryan :P
2008-02-09 06:24 < White_Cat> Mark_Ryan thats what I am thinking
2008-02-09 06:24 < White_Cat> its not my tool but I am tryng to help locate problems
2008-02-09 06:26 < White_Cat> Mark_Ryan I can see the benefits of such a tool once complete
2008-02-09 06:27 < White_Cat> Mark_Ryan consider http://tools.wikimedia.de/~bjweeks/cgi-bin/wikistalk.py?user1=White+Cat&user2=White+Cat&user3=Centrx
2008-02-09 06:28 < White_Cat> Centrx mass reverted my signatures :)
2008-02-09 06:28 < White_Cat> so thats that
2008-02-09 06:28 < White_Cat> false positives if you are seeking meat puppetary

2008-02-09 07:14 < TheLetterE> yes
2008-02-09 07:14 < TheLetterE> a way better ISP :)
2008-02-09 07:15 < JessicaTaylor> Telstra?
2008-02-09 07:15 < Mark_Ryan> JessicaTaylor, I use dodo too :D
2008-02-09 07:15 < Mark_Ryan> let's unite in our dodo suckiness
2008-02-09 07:15 < JessicaTaylor> Well you'd know how much it sucks
2008-02-09 07:15 < JessicaTaylor> Its not as if I can change it
2008-02-09 07:15 < Mark_Ryan> it sucks as a company, but my connection isn't that bad (Telstra wholesale)
2008-02-09 07:15 < JessicaTaylor> I leave that to mum and dad
2008-02-09 07:16 < TheLetterE> JessicaTaylor: no, www.exetel.com.au
2008-02-09 07:16 < JessicaTaylor> Never heard of it
2008-02-09 07:16 < TheLetterE> resellers, been with them for three years
2008-02-09 07:16 < TheLetterE> perfect service
2008-02-09 07:16 < Mark_Ryan> but I got 3 calls from them in the space of 2 hours a couple of weeks ago, trying to get me to sign onto a 24-month contract, in return for... get this... a single measly free month. how sucky. I eventually impersonated my father and told them to politely stick it.
2008-02-09 07:16 < TheLetterE> Mark_Ryan: only a 6 month contract with exetel
2008-02-09 07:16 < Warpath> :O
2008-02-09 07:16 < Mark_Ryan> TheLetterE: it was only a 3 month contract with Dodo, thank god
2008-02-09 07:17 < TheLetterE> Mark_Ryan: /me frowns at telstra, optus and dodo
2008-02-09 07:17 < Mark_Ryan> i wouldn't have signed up with them if the plan wasn't totally unlimited and was 3-month contract only
2008-02-09 07:17 < Mark_Ryan> but yeah, if I were to change, I'd go to Westnet or something
2008-02-09 07:17 < Mark_Ryan> support my home state
2008-02-09 07:18 < Mark_Ryan> maybe iiNet
2008-02-09 07:18 < loader> <Mark_Ryan> What wrong with your ISP?
2008-02-09 07:18 < TheLetterE> Mark_Ryan: EXETEL xD
2008-02-09 07:18 < TheLetterE> Thx: Hello
2008-02-09 07:18 < Mark_Ryan> loader: they are almost entirely staffed by call centre staff in Thailand or India or somewhere, who don't listen and refuse to allow people to quit, etc.
2008-02-09 07:18 < TheLetterE> seanw: good evening sean
2008-02-09 07:18 < Mark_Ryan> it's one of Australia's smaller internet companies, but is the most-complained-about to the telecommunications industry ombudsman
2008-02-09 07:18 < seanw> lo.
2008-02-09 07:19 < Mark_Ryan> they take money out of your account after you leave them. dodgy stuff like that
2008-02-09 07:19 < Warpath> seanwth speaketh O_O
2008-02-09 07:19 < Mark_Ryan> the word is that if you quit them, you have to immediately contact your bank or credit card company and remove authorisation for them to take payments
2008-02-09 07:20 < TheLetterE> Mark_Ryan: Exetel, owned by Aussies, call centre in Sydney, agents are australian
2008-02-09 07:20 < Mark_Ryan> TheLetterE: can they give me an unlimited-downloads account for $50 a month? probably not :P
2008-02-09 07:20 < TheLetterE> Mark_Ryan: what speed?
2008-02-09 07:20 < loader> I see. But does they provide unsatisfactional service or they just have a bad support?
2008-02-09 07:21 < Mark_Ryan> TheLetterE: 512K
2008-02-09 07:22 < TheLetterE> Mark_Ryan: for $55/mth, 512/128kbps, 24gb peak, 48gb offpeak downloads
2008-02-09 07:22 < Mark_Ryan> loader: their internet service can be hit-and-miss: it depends what internet company they are onselling the service to you... is...
2008-02-09 07:22 < Mark_Ryan> TheLetterE: I have $50/mth, 512/128, ~ peak, ~ off peak :P
2008-02-09 07:23 < loader> Huh... It is too expensive...
2008-02-09 07:23 < TheLetterE> Mark_Ryan: how much do you really download???
2008-02-09 07:23 < Mark_Ryan> although apparently once you go over about 80Gb a month, they start looking for reasons to kick you off the service
2008-02-09 07:23 < TheLetterE> but seriously who can download 80gb a month
2008-02-09 07:24 < TheLetterE> you'd be mad
2008-02-09 07:24 < Mark_Ryan> TheLetterE: it varies :P occasionally I use online drives for large files.
2008-02-09 07:24 < TheLetterE> so do I :)
2008-02-09 07:24 < loader> And there so much warez in the net...
2008-02-09 07:24 < Mark_Ryan> at the moment I am pretty limited by my hard drives :P and online storage is an okay solution for creating new free space :D
2008-02-09 07:25 < Mark_Ryan> though i should probably just splash out and buy some thumb drives
2008-02-09 07:25 < Mark_Ryan> loader: it's not so much the warez on the net, but the huge video files that you can make with the aforementioned Legally Obtained Software
2008-02-09 07:26 < loader> :)
2008-02-09 07:27 < TheWeasel> Wow, Fritz 8 turns a 3-0 lead into a 4-3
2008-02-09 07:27 < Mark_Ryan> if you don't compress HD-quality video files when you render them, you end up with gigabyte-sized files for like 20 seconds of video
2008-02-09 07:28 < loader> I know :)
2008-02-09 07:28 < TheWeasel> But boy are they clear.
2008-02-09 07:28 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-02-09 07:28 < loader> ??
2008-02-09 07:28 < TheWeasel> the images
2008-02-09 07:29 < TheWeasel> (uncompressed)
2008-02-09 07:29 < loader> Aaah
2008-02-09 07:30 < loader> <TheWeasel> Is this connected with your work or you download those files just for fun
2008-02-09 07:30 < loader> ?
2008-02-09 07:30 < TheWeasel> I don't download anything.
2008-02-09 07:30 < loader> oops
2008-02-09 07:30 < TheWeasel> I was just pouncing on your conversation
2008-02-09 07:30 < TheWeasel> because I had nothing to do

2008-02-09 07:33 < eptalon> Mark_Ryan: Lawyers can also get quite geeky, at time
2008-02-09 07:33 < Mark_Ryan> that's quite true
2008-02-09 07:33 < loader> Everybody can get geeky
2008-02-09 07:34 < eptalon> TheWeasel: I need a nice script..
2008-02-09 07:34 < TheWeasel> AAH!
2008-02-09 07:34 < TheWeasel> Why is everyone asking me about computers?
2008-02-09 07:34 < TheWeasel> I don't know anything about computers
2008-02-09 07:35 < loader> Maybe you are hacker?
2008-02-09 07:35 < eptalon> TheWeasel: that boils down an article text into how much is image, infoboxes, categories,..
2008-02-09 07:35 < Mark_Ryan> you're using one.
2008-02-09 07:35 < TheWeasel> Yea, but I have no idea about how it works, I'm just happy that it does.

2008-02-09 07:36 < TheWeasel> Non-programmers are the yetis of IRC, their existance is always hotly disputed
2008-02-09 07:36 < TheWeasel> no sir, sorry.

2008-02-09 09:01 < adam1213> any rules against advertisements on user pages, esspecially if the user posted the same advertisement on an article, and has a sockpuppet?
2008-02-09 09:01 < adam1213> * on talk pages of a user
2008-02-09 09:02 < adam1213> advertisement - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Meetviplove_25

2008-02-09 09:08 < lucasbfr> adam1213: G11?
2008-02-09 09:09 < adam1213> G11 ?
2008-02-09 09:09 < lucasbfr> [[Wikipedia:CSD#G11]], if you can delete the page on sight, you can remove the spam on sight
2008-02-09 09:11 < adam1213> its a users talk page and its actually relevant because its evidence
2008-02-09 09:11 < adam1213> i dont think BOTH (if they do indeed as they appear to have 2 at least user accounts) should be blocked (maybe all but one) so it cant really get removed..
2008-02-09 09:14 < adam1213> its probably better with out it remaining there it makes it harder for them to directly copy that ad to an article, so its good you removed it
2008-02-09 09:15 < adam1213> lucasbfr: can you delete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DSC2.JPG
2008-02-09 09:15 < adam1213> i uploaded it, it has no use any more
2008-02-09 09:15 < adam1213> its plan use was than that good, and its got no use...

2008-02-09 09:20 < TheWeasel> "The Night Before" is a great song, but it has atrocious lyrics.
2008-02-09 09:20 < TheWeasel> *cringes
2008-02-09 09:20 < TheWeasel> "When I held you near/you were so sincere..."
2008-02-09 09:22 * adam1213 smells a weasel
2008-02-09 09:22 < TheWeasel> That is correct.
2008-02-09 09:23 < TheWeasel> Barry also includes special categories such as: "Songs Women Really Hate"
2008-02-09 09:24 < TheWeasel> I'm coming to think of most of Conway Twitty's oeuvre.
2008-02-09 09:24 < TheWeasel> it's goes from condescending to very condescending, and back.
2008-02-09 09:25 < TheWeasel> Oh, and of course Run For Your Life

2008-02-09 10:30 < Leslie_S> In January 2006, Wal-Mart was criticized for the recommendation system on its website which suggested that some African American-related DVDs, such as Introducing Dorothy Dandridge and documentaries on Martin Luther King, Jr. were similar to the Planet of the Apes television series DVD box set. It quickly corrected the page, saying that it was a software glitch, but ultimately blamed the matter on human error.[116]
2008-02-09 10:30 < Leslie_S> lol....
