2008-02-13 03:20 < brown_cat> ggreer' that's what she said xD
2008-02-13 03:20 < ggreer`> I can barely fit $50 worth of groceries in the trunk
2008-02-13 03:20 < ggreer`> brown_cat: *rim shot*
2008-02-13 03:20 * NotAHorse sniffs brown_cat
2008-02-13 03:21 * brown_cat sniffs NotAHorse
2008-02-13 03:21 < The359> it has to do mostly with parking, ggreer
2008-02-13 03:21 < The359> and as you say, most people don't need something bigger because there's only one person in the car
2008-02-13 03:21 < The359> what's funny is they have Kei sport coupes, sedans, vans, and even SUVs
2008-02-13 03:22 < The359> all fitting within those mandated dimensions
2008-02-13 03:22 < TheWeasel> The359: The feeling of safety.
2008-02-13 03:22 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-02-13 03:22 < TheWeasel> It's like driving a tank
2008-02-13 03:22 < ggreer`> haha
2008-02-13 03:22 < The359> I guess
2008-02-13 03:22 < The359> since 1990 they've been required to also have no more than 63 horsepower
2008-02-13 03:22 < ggreer`> I hate larger cars. they handle like tanks
2008-02-13 03:23 < TheWeasel> I think it's interesting, American car classes diverge from European ones in that each American-market car is considered one size smaller than in Europe
2008-02-13 03:23 < The359> and a maximum displacement of 660cc
2008-02-13 03:23 < ggreer`> The359: so are they really light to get decent power/weight ratios?
2008-02-13 03:23 < The359> yes
2008-02-13 03:23 < ggreer`> cool
2008-02-13 03:23 < The359> [[Autozam AZ-1]]
2008-02-13 03:23 < The359> a Kei sports coupe
2008-02-13 03:23 < The359> mid-engined
2008-02-13 03:23 < The359> a lot of the Keis are mid-engined to help with the weight distribution
2008-02-13 03:24 < IceKarma> The359, someone up the street from a place I used to live had two of the vans, parked on the street
2008-02-13 03:24 < ggreer`> haha, of course they'd go with turbocharging to get the max horsepower out of 660ccs
2008-02-13 03:25 < The359> they're popular delivery vans in towns, Karma
2008-02-13 03:25 < The359> [[Daihatsu Copen]] is a nice kei two-seater convertible sportscar
2008-02-13 03:25 < The359> most everything Daihatsu makes is a Kei
2008-02-13 03:25 < IceKarma> The359, I don't think they were used for that. in fact, they seemed to be parked on the street 24x7.
2008-02-13 03:26 < The359> Maybe they used to be, Karma
2008-02-13 03:27 < IceKarma> a friend of mine used to have a very small parking space, so he drove a Daihatsu Charade
2008-02-13 03:28 < IceKarma> (also coworker)
2008-02-13 03:28 < The359> I think the Charade is actually larger than a Kei
2008-02-13 03:28 < The359> The Daihatsu Charade was a supermini sold from 1977 to 2000. Daihatsu considers the Charade a large "compact" car to differentiate it from other compacts in its lineup, such as the Daihatsu Mira/Cuore.
2008-02-13 03:28 < ggreer`> 0–62 mph time — 11.7s (MT)
2008-02-13 03:28 < ggreer`> wow
2008-02-13 03:28 < IceKarma> which was fine, until the day that he, I, and our boss needed to go somewhere in it
2008-02-13 03:29 < The359> heh
2008-02-13 03:29 < ggreer`> that's even outside the "it's a momentum car" euphemism
2008-02-13 03:29 < IceKarma> he's 6'4", the boss was 6'5"
2008-02-13 03:29 < IceKarma> being only 5'8", I was stuffed into the back seat
2008-02-13 03:29 < The359> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2006_pajerominiVR.jpg
2008-02-13 03:30 < The359> did they hack off your legs?
2008-02-13 03:30 < IceKarma> no, but it probably would have been better if they had
2008-02-13 03:30 < ggreer`> there's a back seat in that thing?
2008-02-13 03:30 < IceKarma> on the way back I sat sideways
2008-02-13 03:33 < The359> heh
2008-02-13 03:33 < The359> a kei car
2008-02-13 03:33 < The359> Mazda Laputa
2008-02-13 03:33 < The359> The car's name derivates from the book Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift [1]. Similarly to the Nissan Moco and the Mitsubishi Pajero, the name is fortuituously unfit for Spanish-speaking countries, since "la puta" in Spanish means literally "the whore" ("moco means "snot" or "booger" and "pajero" may be understood as "wanker").
2008-02-13 03:33 < ggreer`> I drove one of my coworkers to pick up his car today (he was getting the brake pads replaced), and he became pretty nostalgic for the days of his rx-7 twin turbo
2008-02-13 03:34 < ggreer`> unsafe? check. unreliable? double-check. stupid-fun? definitely check
2008-02-13 03:34 < The359> annoyingly loud, check
2008-02-13 03:34 < bumm13> hiya ggreer
2008-02-13 03:34 < ggreer`> rx-7s are rotaries
2008-02-13 03:34 < ggreer`> they're really quiet
2008-02-13 03:34 < ggreer`> yo bumm13
2008-02-13 03:34 < The359> I know they're rotaries
2008-02-13 03:34 < ggreer`> apparently getting married causes you to sell your sports car and buy a toyota corolla
2008-02-13 03:34 < The359> and they're not quiet at all
2008-02-13 03:35 < The359> or they have some really fucking good exhaust
2008-02-13 03:35 < ggreer`> maybe without a muffler they're loud
2008-02-13 03:35 < The359> and muffler
2008-02-13 03:35 < bumm13> I drive a pickup truck with not-so-great gas mileage ;)
2008-02-13 03:35 < ggreer`> the rx-8 doesn't have a muffler, it has a "resonator" (straight pipe)
2008-02-13 03:35 < The359> Mazda rotaries are notoriously the loudest racing cars out there
2008-02-13 03:35 < ggreer`> heh
2008-02-13 03:35 < bumm13> but I don't drive it all that often
2008-02-13 03:35 < ggreer`> I don't think mazda cares too much about noise in a sports car
2008-02-13 03:36 * IceKarma and her husband don't own a vehicle.
2008-02-13 03:36 < The359> no, but they're still louder than they should be
2008-02-13 03:36 < ggreer`> you can make it faster by not having all that weighty sound insulation
2008-02-13 03:36 < The359> well, not so much loud, but high pitched
2008-02-13 03:36 < The359> well they don't have weight insulation
2008-02-13 03:36 < The359> but they do require hefty thermal insulation on the exhaust pipes
2008-02-13 03:36 < ggreer`> oh yeah, anything with more open exaust/intake and a turbo is going to be loud
2008-02-13 03:37 < The359> well the one RX-8s I was hearing weren't turbo
2008-02-13 03:37 < The359> they were just 2 and 3-rotors
2008-02-13 03:37 < ggreer`> I have a naturally aspirated I4 and it's louder than 90% of other cars
2008-02-13 03:37 < The359> revving up beyond 9000
2008-02-13 03:37 < ggreer`> because mazda was like "ehh screw it dude let's not restrict the engine as much. it'll sound cool"
2008-02-13 03:38 < ggreer`> yeah, rotaries are insane like that
2008-02-13 03:38 < The359> well you also have a sports car
2008-02-13 03:38 < ggreer`> 140hp isn't really a sports car, but yeah, it is definitely "sporty"
2008-02-13 03:38 < The359> let me see if I can find my pictures of the thermal protection on the exhaust of a 3-rotor RX-8...
2008-02-13 03:38 < ggreer`> amazing handling makes up for it
2008-02-13 03:40 < The359> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/The359/Daytona/Rolex%20Garages/IMG_0727.jpg there we go
2008-02-13 03:40 < The359> 3-rotor RX-8
2008-02-13 03:40 < The359> you can see where the exhaust pipe exits out
2008-02-13 03:41 < The359> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/The359/Daytona/Rolex%20Garages/IMG_0730.jpg and this is where the pipe is inside
2008-02-13 03:41 < ggreer`> haha
2008-02-13 03:41 < brown_cat> "Bard® Channel Drain - The Better Route to Chest Drainage" <--- how surgically appetizing
2008-02-13 03:41 < The359> underneath that thick thermal blanket, inside the cockpit, next to the driver
2008-02-13 03:41 < ggreer`> that's ridiculous
2008-02-13 03:42 < brown_cat> hey Mark_Ryan
2008-02-13 03:42 < ggreer`> that's a race car. it's probably not even street legal
2008-02-13 03:42 < The359> it's not, it's not even a "real" RX-8
2008-02-13 03:42 < ggreer`> definitely no catalytic converter
2008-02-13 03:42 < ggreer`> oh
2008-02-13 03:42 < The359> it's a tube frame chassis with carbon fiber RX-8 body panels hung on it
2008-02-13 03:42 < The359> and a non-production 3-rotor under the hood
2008-02-13 03:42 < ggreer`> ah yes, nascar style
2008-02-13 03:43 < ggreer`> but it probably does more than turn left
2008-02-13 03:43 < The359> yes
2008-02-13 03:43 < Mark_Ryan> brown_cat, have you used Yahoo!7 lately? if you click the down arrow at the bottom left of the search box, it gives search suggestions based on what you type. it can be quite enlightening about what people search for :P
2008-02-13 03:43 < The359> built a big better than the NASCAR stuff
2008-02-13 03:43 < Mark_Ryan> one of the suggested search terms for "wikipedia" is "wikipedia anime" :-/
2008-02-13 03:43 < nokmar> wikipe-tan?
2008-02-13 03:43 < brown_cat> Mark_Ryan: when I type my name, it will probably come up with douchebag
2008-02-13 03:44 < ggreer`> Mark_Ryan: ask.com's search suggest is hilarious
2008-02-13 03:44 < ggreer`> see http://mipsisrisc.com/rambling/archives/35
2008-02-13 03:44 < ggreer`> specifically http://mipsisrisc.com/rambling/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/picture-5.png
2008-02-13 03:44 < Mark_Ryan> when I search my name it suggests "sandra sully mark ryan"
2008-02-13 03:44 < brown_cat> lmao
2008-02-13 03:45 < brown_cat> Mark_Ryan: are you sorry?
2008-02-13 03:45 < Mark_Ryan> haha, that's great ggreer :D
2008-02-13 03:45 < Mark_Ryan> brown_cat: a bit, but not enough to make a speech about it
2008-02-13 03:45 < brown_cat> BLASPHEMY
2008-02-13 03:45 < brown_cat> Mark_Ryan: get on your knees and begin to beg for forgiveness
2008-02-13 03:46 < Mark_Ryan> ggreer: okay, maybe they use search suggestions from ask.com?? yahoo7.com.au gives "how do I know if Im pregnant" and several variations thereof for "how do I know", too
2008-02-13 03:46 < ggreer`> Mark_Ryan: ask syndicates search suggestions, so it's not unlikely
2008-02-13 03:47 < Mark_Ryan> brown_cat: I feel sorry, in an 'awww' way, for the stolen generation. I don't apologise for it, though.
2008-02-13 03:47 < ggreer`> although I don't know if syndication has any deals with yahoo
2008-02-13 03:47 < ggreer`> (disclaimer: I work for ask.com :/)
2008-02-13 03:47 < brown_cat> Mark_Ryan: try "am i a" xD
2008-02-13 03:47 < ggreer`> the compuserve of search, so to speak
2008-02-13 03:48 < Mark_Ryan> ggreer`: maybe it's just that common to ask web browsers "how do i know if im pregnant", that all such services give that result
2008-02-13 03:48 < ggreer`> Mark_Ryan: also not unlikely
2008-02-13 03:48 < Mark_Ryan> I used to use Ask Jeeves, a long time ago
2008-02-13 03:48 < ggreer`> although people are more likely to enter questions on ask.com as opposed to other search engines
2008-02-13 03:48 < Mark_Ryan> heh, yeah, good point
2008-02-13 03:49 < ggreer`> the expand/narrow your search stuff can be pretty funny as well
2008-02-13 03:50 < ggreer`> for example: http://www.ask.com/web?q=blah&search=search&qsrc=0&o=0&l=dir
2008-02-13 03:50 < ggreer`> heh, that's the first time I've done a search on ask in like 2 months
2008-02-13 03:50 < Mark_Ryan> hah
2008-02-13 03:50 < Mark_Ryan> expand your search: bored
2008-02-13 03:51 < ggreer`> click more for expand
2008-02-13 03:51 < ggreer`> I think "female smells" is in there
2008-02-13 03:51 * Mark_Ryan types "I want to" into Yahoo!7 and it spits out "I want to die" and "I want to kill myself" as the #1 and #2 suggestions
2008-02-13 03:51 < ggreer`> it's totally ridiculous
2008-02-13 03:51 < ggreer`> hahaha
2008-02-13 03:52 < ggreer`> the only respectable search engine is google, because they've perfected relevance
2008-02-13 03:53 < The359> hmmm
2008-02-13 03:53 < The359> the lights here are flickering a bit
2008-02-13 03:53 < The359> I wonder if the power lines are collapsing
2008-02-13 03:54 < Mark_Ryan> The359: more likely too many people on your phase of the power supply
2008-02-13 03:54 < The359> or my light bulb is going to blow out
2008-02-13 03:54 < The359> we're in the middle of an ice/sleet storm, Mark
2008-02-13 03:54 < Mark_Ryan> The359: more likely power lines getting cut somewhere and it taking a while for the power system to detect and adjust
2008-02-13 03:54 * Mark_Ryan is an expert™
2008-02-13 03:54 < The359> that's what I figured
2008-02-13 03:55 < Luna-San> Can I be an expert, too? :{
2008-02-13 03:56 < Mark_Ryan> Luna-San, you already are an expert™.
2008-02-13 03:57 < The359> ice's caked over the satellite dish too, so no TV for the past few hours
2008-02-13 03:58 < Mark_Ryan> you can't pick up local analogue transmissions?
2008-02-13 03:59 < The359> the local channels are more likely to come through, but once it gets bad enough, nothing comes in
2008-02-13 04:00 < Luna-San> Oooh.
2008-02-13 04:00 < Mark_Ryan> ah, fair enough
2008-02-13 04:00 * Luna-San experts expertly
2008-02-13 04:00 < The359> usually during just a thunderstorm or something you'll still get local even if the DirecTV channels are out
2008-02-13 04:01 * brown_cat sits on Luna-San
2008-02-13 04:01 < IceKarma> Luna-San, you do know what an expert is, right?
2008-02-13 04:02 < Luna-San> <-- expert
2008-02-13 04:02 < Luna-San> Mark said so!
2008-02-13 04:02 < IceKarma> Luna-San, ... an ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure.
2008-02-13 04:03 < Werdna> a has-been drip under pressure?
2008-02-13 04:04 < IceKarma> Werdna, wow, nothing gets by you. ;)
2008-02-13 04:05 < Werdna> IceKarma: especially not obvious stuff
2008-02-13 04:06 < The359> hmmm
2008-02-13 04:06 * JordanC slaps brown_cat
2008-02-13 04:06 < The359> the state isn't even bothering with snow plows out here
2008-02-13 04:06 < Luna-San> I was trying to come up with a witty comeback, but failed
2008-02-13 04:06 < The359> they're just plowing the streets with construction equipment
2008-02-13 04:07 * Luna-San resigns his expert status and just becomes a straight-up spurt
2008-02-13 04:07 < IceKarma> The359, like, front-end loaders?
2008-02-13 04:07 < The359> yes
2008-02-13 04:07 * brown_cat throws dirt in JordanC's eyes
2008-02-13 04:07 < JordanC> Ouch
2008-02-13 04:07 < The359> so they must not even be bothering with salting
2008-02-13 04:07 < JordanC> ;-;
2008-02-13 04:07 * JordanC cries
2008-02-13 04:07 < IceKarma> The359, sort of fruitless
2008-02-13 04:07 * brown_cat hugs JordanC
2008-02-13 04:07 < JordanC> :D
2008-02-13 04:07 < The359> well here it snowed first
2008-02-13 04:07 < The359> then turned to ice, so yeah
2008-02-13 04:08 < The359> fruitless
2008-02-13 04:08 < IceKarma> The359, our winter here has sucked so bad many municipalities are running or have run out of road salt
2008-02-13 04:08 < The359> my uncle runs a dump truck business, and he hauls salt from the Philly docks every winter
2008-02-13 04:08 < The359> and there's been so little snow here that he has done barely any work
2008-02-13 04:09 < The359> lol
2008-02-13 04:09 < The359> I'm looking out my window watching the plow
2008-02-13 04:09 < The359> it's lightning out
2008-02-13 04:10 < IceKarma> thundersnow?
2008-02-13 04:10 < The359> yes
2008-02-13 04:10 < The359> happens occassionally
2008-02-13 04:10 < IceKarma> wow.
2008-02-13 04:10 < IceKarma> yeah
2008-02-13 04:10 < The359> that's the second time this year I've seen lightning while it snowed
2008-02-13 04:10 < Luna-San> Would that conduct? :x
2008-02-13 04:10 < IceKarma> I've heard exactly one clap of thundersnow thunder.
2008-02-13 04:10 < IceKarma> never seen the lightning, though -- mine happened in daylight
2008-02-13 04:11 < The359> the last one was daylight as well, and you could see the flash because it was rather close
2008-02-13 04:11 < The359> no actual bolt or anything though
2008-02-13 04:11 < The359> it was all in the clouds
2008-02-13 04:15 < Mark_Ryan> oh dear... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albany_Wind_Farm%2C_Western_Australia&diff=158235295&oldid=153919739

2008-02-13 04:15 < Mark_Ryan> don't you love it when high (primary?) school students paste their assignments into articles?
2008-02-13 04:16 < The359> only if they actually researched it
2008-02-13 04:16 < Mark_Ryan> yes, I was being ironic
2008-02-13 04:16 < The359> You failed miserably
2008-02-13 04:17 * Mark_Ryan sighs and sets about researching the topic to fix it
2008-02-13 04:17 < Mark_Ryan> wow, Factiva have changed their logo
2008-02-13 04:18 < chmac> Ahoy
2008-02-13 04:18 < Mark_Ryan> hello, chmac
2008-02-13 04:18 < Mark_Ryan> is .za south africa? or some other african country?
2008-02-13 04:18 < chmac> I'm about to start an article on Starling, the ruby persistent queue server, http://rubyforge.org/projects/starling/
2008-02-13 04:18 < chmac> Mark_Ryan: za is indeed South Africa (zuud afrika I believe it stems from, Wikipedia knows!)
2008-02-13 04:18 < chmac> I'm not sure what to title the article, wanted to ask for some guidance
2008-02-13 04:18 < Mark_Ryan> bah, it's time the world used English already!
2008-02-13 04:19 < chmac> Starling (Computing), Starling (Software), something like that?
2008-02-13 04:19 < chmac> Mark_Ryan: lol
2008-02-13 04:19 < chmac> Mark_Ryan: Alas, Soudi Arabia has SA, hence South Africa is left with ZA, although I'm actually Scottish so I couldn't give a monkey's!
2008-02-13 04:19 < Mark_Ryan> chmac, the manual of style might hold some guidance
2008-02-13 04:20 < The359> Saudi Arabia tends to go for KSA
2008-02-13 04:20 < The359> and South Africa RSA
2008-02-13 04:20 < The359> but yes, for two letters, ZA for South Africa
2008-02-13 04:21 < chmac> Mark_Ryan: I don't see anything on naming articles, a few general points but nothing about choosing the actual title
2008-02-13 04:22 < Mark_Ryan> chmac, indeed, I'm having trouble finding anything too
2008-02-13 04:22 < chmac> Mark_Ryan: I'm thinking to look up a few other articles and see what they use
2008-02-13 04:22 < chmac> Trying to think of software projects with generic names though
2008-02-13 04:22 < The359> What "Starling" names are already taken?
2008-02-13 04:22 < Mark_Ryan> as an example, Squid (the server) is at [[Squid cache]], and Mailman is at [[GNU Mailman]], perhaps it should be [[Ruby Starling]] or something? just throwing it out there
2008-02-13 04:23 < Mark_Ryan> but yeah, if anything I'd put "(software)" in brackets, because "(computing)" would be more for general computing topics
2008-02-13 04:24 < The359> Software seems the most popular choice
2008-02-13 04:24 < Mark_Ryan> like, if you were talking about a computing bus, it'd be [[Bus (computing)]]
2008-02-13 04:24 < chmac> The359: the bird and architecture
2008-02-13 04:24 < chmac> Plus a bunch of other names containing starling
2008-02-13 04:25 < Mark_Ryan> not to mention [[Tim Starling]]
2008-02-13 04:25 < Mark_Ryan> so not mentioned here tonight because he does not have an article
2008-02-13 04:25 < chmac> Yeah, I'll go with software, with a lower case s right?
2008-02-13 04:25 < Mark_Ryan> yes, chmac :) don't stress
2008-02-13 04:25 < Mark_Ryan> article naming is a haphazard thing
2008-02-13 04:26 < Mark_Ryan> but it would be worth noting to you that you should make sure your article specifies why Starling is a notable piece of software, in case you don't know about our policies.
2008-02-13 04:26 < Mark_Ryan> you can read about that policy at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:N
2008-02-13 04:27 * Mark_Ryan goes to the other computer, and waves
2008-02-13 04:31 < brown_cat> I hate it when people say"This video is property of xyz company No copyright infringement intended." on youtube >:D somehow saying that will make fox or viacom care or as if it will suddenly be legal
2008-02-13 04:31 < chmac> How's that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starling_%28software%29
2008-02-13 04:32 < The359> it helps them sleep at night, brown_cat
2008-02-13 04:32 < brown_cat> xD

2008-02-13 04:59 < The359> At 15.
2008-02-13 05:02 < brown_cat> if I was skype I would sue the crap out of http://photojojo.com/ for copying their logo
2008-02-13 05:03 < The359> it's close
2008-02-13 05:03 < The359> but not quite
2008-02-13 05:03 < Luna-San> Hmm... might be able to bluster a C&D, but I dunno if they'd actually win that
2008-02-13 05:03 < The359> similar color
2008-02-13 05:07 < brown_cat> and concpt
2008-02-13 05:11 < Luna-San> But they added a white cloud behind the blue cloud. And asterisks.
2008-02-13 05:11 < Luna-San> Totally different.
2008-02-13 05:12 < The359> different font
2008-02-13 05:12 < Luna-San> Wait until France starts getting on everybody about this whole tricolor flag thing.
2008-02-13 05:13 < Luna-San> (disclaimer: I have no idea who came up with tricolors, even if I think they're a bit bland)
2008-02-13 05:13 * IceKarma is fond of her country's flag.
2008-02-13 05:13 < Luna-San> Easy to make, though, so if you're working with old/simple tools...
2008-02-13 05:14 < Luna-San> I really dig Israel's flag, personally.
2008-02-13 05:14 < Luna-San> Just on aesthetics, not in terms of which country's my favorite. >.>
2008-02-13 05:15 < Luna-San> Wonder how long before Iraq stops changing flags on an apparently annual basis.
2008-02-13 05:28 < Harland> ello
2008-02-13 05:33 < TheWeasel> I like the Nepalese flag!
2008-02-13 05:35 < The359> it reminds me of the Ohio flag
2008-02-13 05:35 < TheWeasel> My favorite flag where sovereign nations are concerned is that of Barbados
2008-02-13 05:35 < zocky> TheWeasel, hasn't nepal changed (or intends to change) the flag?
2008-02-13 05:36 < TheWeasel> I haven't heard anything about that
2008-02-13 05:36 < TheWeasel> It's probably too iconic for that
2008-02-13 05:36 < TheWeasel> I'm not sure how closely it reflects monarchy itself
2008-02-13 05:37 < zocky> The flag is a simplified combination of two single pennants from different branches of the previous rulers, the Rana dynasty.
2008-02-13 05:37 < TheWeasel> Hah.
2008-02-13 05:37 * TheWeasel wonders what the "flag of the revolution" in Nepal is
2008-02-13 05:38 < Luna-San> Nepal's flag would probably look awesome on a ship, flapping in the wind.
2008-02-13 05:39 < brown_cat> O_o
2008-02-13 05:39 < brown_cat> xD
2008-02-13 05:40 < zocky> TheWeasel, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/CPI-M-flag.svg/800px-CPI-M-flag.svg.png
2008-02-13 05:41 < Harland> USSR
2008-02-13 05:41 < zocky> no, that's not the flag of USSR
2008-02-13 05:41 < TheWeasel> Well... the new government will at least not be Marxist-dominated it seems.
2008-02-13 05:41 < Harland> It looks similar
2008-02-13 05:41 < TheWeasel> thats the Communist Party of India's flag
2008-02-13 05:42 < TheWeasel> the people that run Kolkata.
2008-02-13 05:42 < zocky> TheWeasel, http://www.sepiamutiny.com/sepia/Maoist%20rebels%20in%20Nepal_new.jpg <-- they use the flag here

2008-02-13 05:43 < TheWeasel> my parents were almost shot by them (or the Nepalese army) once.
2008-02-13 05:43 < TheWeasel> in the middle of a firefight
2008-02-13 05:45 < zocky> TheWeasel, bah, shit happens. my grandparents almost shut your grandparents, and vice versa, both with flags with red background
2008-02-13 05:45 < TheWeasel> Hah yea, but if you're neutral it's hell of a lot scarier.
2008-02-13 05:45 < zocky> *shot
2008-02-13 05:46 < TheWeasel> Brb.

2008-02-13 07:11 < Messedrocker> Sfan00, because MOST PEOPLE don't give a FLYING DICKSHIT about COPYRIGHT LAW

2008-02-13 08:21 < Leslie_school> and i am really realllly tired
2008-02-13 08:21 < Leslie_school> heh.
2008-02-13 08:36 < Mike2> http://youtube.com/watch?v=VX5V_9s0Gfw
2008-02-13 08:41 < Lesli_school> http://store.worldpetstore.com/equariumred.html
2008-02-13 08:41 < Lesli_school> lols
2008-02-13 08:42 < Lesli_school> and why on earth would my computer going into standby leave a ghost? makes no sense.
2008-02-13 08:43 < Aqwis2> the irc client process is closed without warning, so the client can't tell the server it's leaving?
2008-02-13 08:43 < Sfan00> Lelsi_school: A Ghost as is in?
2008-02-13 08:43 < Leslie_school> Sfan00 how could you not know?
2008-02-13 08:43 < Aqwis2> like Aqwis vs Aqwis2 ;|
2008-02-13 08:43 < Sfan00> Ah
2008-02-13 08:43 < Sfan00> :)
2008-02-13 08:43 < Leslie_school> and WTF, someone walked past and my wifi dropped. LOL.
2008-02-13 08:44 < Leslie_school> Sfan00 hey, i bought a fishtank yesterday. :)
2008-02-13 08:44 < Sfan00> It's because when going into standby or disrputed connection IRC doesn't auto disconecct
2008-02-13 08:45 < Lesli_school> Sfan00 so you dont think a 150 pound fish tank on my metal computer desk would be an issue, doyou?
2008-02-13 08:45 < Sfan00> I think it would
2008-02-13 08:45 < Sfan00> but provided you are careful
2008-02-13 08:46 < Lesli_school> Sfan00 well, its one of those realllly old office desks, and its made incredibly sturdy.
2008-02-13 08:46 < Lesli_school> Sfan00 to move the desk is like a 3 person lift, and i had to use a trailer to get it home.. :P
2008-02-13 08:46 * Lesli_school shrugs
2008-02-13 08:47 < Lesli_school> i am of course really careful with water, etc...and its not directly above anything electronic.
2008-02-13 08:47 * White_Cat washes Lesli_school's lectronics with lots of water
