2008-02-19 23:08 < Daniel_Bush> I'm taking my telescope outside tomorrow for the first time since late December. Last time, the main attractions were Mars, the Quatrinid meteor shower, and Comet Holmes. This time the main attractions are Saturn and the lunar eclipse, but weather.com says the sky will be mostly cloudy in my area tomorrow.
2008-02-19 23:08 < bumm13> hiya Daniel_Bush
2008-02-19 23:09 < Daniel_Bush> It's been a while.
2008-02-19 23:13 * NotAPolecat hates the word "clever" in advertising
2008-02-19 23:13 < NotAPolecat> (in German)
2008-02-19 23:13 < Lycurgus> kluege?
2008-02-19 23:13 < Demi> who is NotAPolecat?
2008-02-19 23:14 < bumm13> Weasel
2008-02-19 23:14 < TheWeasel> A lazy mustelid.
2008-02-19 23:14 < Demi> ah okay
2008-02-19 23:14 * Demi borrows more money on his home to cover up past financial mismanagement
2008-02-19 23:14 < TheWeasel> Klug probably sounds too undynamic
2008-02-19 23:15 < bumm13> as does Jack Klugman
2008-02-19 23:15 < TheWeasel> the word has an aura of measured wisdom
2008-02-19 23:15 < Demi> there's a long tradition of using english words in german ads, right?
2008-02-19 23:15 < TheWeasel> yea
2008-02-19 23:16 < TheWeasel> and whole English sentences that I doubt someone with an average grasp of English will understand
2008-02-19 23:17 < Demi> they are maybe easier if german you speak to understand
2008-02-19 23:17 < TheWeasel> German isn't cool.
2008-02-19 23:17 < TheWeasel> hm
2008-02-19 23:17 < TheWeasel> I can't tell
2008-02-19 23:19 < TheWeasel> the railways also call their info desks "ServicePoint" or something
2008-02-19 23:19 < TheWeasel> gratuitously.
2008-02-19 23:19 < TheWeasel> Maybe to save space, because no English translation is necessary
2008-02-19 23:20 < Demi> it's a super party
2008-02-19 23:21 < Demi> my phone company's website is super slow and irritating
2008-02-19 23:23 < TheWeasel> that's not super.
2008-02-19 23:23 < TheWeasel> Insuperably unsuper in fact.
2008-02-19 23:24 < Demi> my bill doesn't seem to match what they're supposed to be charging me
2008-02-19 23:25 < bumm13> arg
2008-02-19 23:25 < bumm13> does your area have Qwest or an independent phone company?
2008-02-19 23:25 < Demi> wtf is "Extended Area Calling"?
2008-02-19 23:25 < Demi> Qwest :(
2008-02-19 23:25 < bumm13> ah ok
2008-02-19 23:26 < Demi> "Federal Access Charge" - "This charge, allowed by the FCC, covers part of the cost for providing access to and maintenance of the local network."
2008-02-19 23:26 < bumm13> don't forget the phones for poor people tax
2008-02-19 23:26 < Demi> yes
2008-02-19 23:27 < bumm13> seriously, how can someone be unable to afford a damn phone nowadays?
2008-02-19 23:27 < Demi> taxes are one thing, lumping "allowable" surcharges in with them are another
2008-02-19 23:27 < Demi> i don't know, besides, they can just use skype, duh
2008-02-19 23:27 < Leslie_S> LOL, my account got deactivated for walmartbenefits.com, apparently because i used the wrong password a few times. i have to create a new account to use it. creating a new account will delete the old one. tons of personal information is available, and infact, CHANGABLE, through this website, and...the only information needed to make an account as me is my hire date, birthdate, and social security number
2008-02-19 23:27 < bumm13> haha
2008-02-19 23:27 < Leslie_S> is it just me or is that WAYYY insecure?
2008-02-19 23:27 < Demi> yes, that's not good
2008-02-19 23:27 < bumm13> I mean, if you have an address, you must have *some* money coming in
2008-02-19 23:27 < Leslie_S> and i was hired two days after my birthday, ....
2008-02-19 23:27 < FastLizard4> insecure
2008-02-19 23:28 < Demi> not uncommon, though
2008-02-19 23:28 < Leslie_S> the website is so horribly made that its probably wayyy easily hacked anyway.
2008-02-19 23:28 < Demi> bumm13 - well, you're raking in the dough from not having to pay for your phone line
2008-02-19 23:28 < bumm13> me?
2008-02-19 23:28 < Leslie_S> like uh, it uses bad javascript to the point where its unusable in anything but internet explorer....when it does nothing that plain HTML (and a backend, of course) cant handle.
2008-02-19 23:29 < bumm13> I do help pay for expenses here, actually
2008-02-19 23:29 < Demi> the figurative "you" who can't afford a phone
2008-02-19 23:29 < Demi> not you specifically
2008-02-19 23:29 < bumm13> oh, heh
2008-02-19 23:29 < Demi> "[20:27:37] bumm13: I mean, if you have an address, you must have *some* money coming in" <- right, i meant *that* you :)
2008-02-19 23:29 < bumm13> I imagine some single mother with 12 kids and no phone
2008-02-19 23:29 < Demi> probably best not to let her receive booty calls
2008-02-19 23:29 < bumm13> :s
2008-02-19 23:30 < Demi> i need to square away something with the state of oregon, too, and they were busy all day
2008-02-19 23:30 < Demi> what's with that?
2008-02-19 23:30 < bumm13> dunno
2008-02-19 23:30 < bumm13> one could just get a smart friend of theirs to make a device that detects when a nearby payphone rings and use that as their "home" phone ;)
2008-02-19 23:31 < Lycurgus> Deutsch is way cool, nur nicht in Deutschland
2008-02-19 23:31 < Mike_H> Demi, bumm13: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9AmlFC_HSs
2008-02-19 23:31 < bumm13> "Hello?"
2008-02-19 23:31 < Mike_H> That sums up how Big Brother is this season
2008-02-19 23:31 < Mike_H> it's gross
2008-02-19 23:31 < Mike_H> and hilarious
2008-02-19 23:31 * Demi &
2008-02-19 23:31 < bumm13> "No, I didn't want any 8-balls today"
2008-02-19 23:32 < Leslie_S> for the record, some of the big things you can do on that website where i would want security is.....looking at ALL of the paystubs i have ever recieved from walmart....
2008-02-19 23:33 < Lycurgus> btw LS: saw what you mean about the pretty vs. ugly WMs. There's the standard box, and a variant in red brick
2008-02-19 23:33 < Faustus> DCC SEND OMGWTFBBQOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
2008-02-19 23:33 < Lycurgus> which looks more upscale
2008-02-19 23:33 < Mike_H> whee
2008-02-19 23:33 < Krimpet> surprisingly few resets this time :)
2008-02-19 23:34 < Leslie_S> Lycurgus huh?
2008-02-19 23:34 < Leslie_S> Krimpet if youll notice, thats a rounter vulnerability. you know, maybe i should bother to connect on a different port.
2008-02-19 23:34 < Leslie_S> or fix the router.
2008-02-19 23:34 < Lycurgus> 23:33 < Lycurgus> which looks more upscale
2008-02-19 23:34 < Krimpet> Leslie_S: I know; just noticing that only 2 people were affected this time. :)
2008-02-19 23:34 < Krimpet> you and AppleBoy
2008-02-19 23:35 < Leslie_S> oh.
2008-02-19 23:35 < Leslie_S> how can i fix that on a linksys wrt54g anyway?
2008-02-19 23:35 * FastLizard4 pokes Mark_Ryan's +o
2008-02-19 23:35 < Lycurgus> you can't
2008-02-19 23:36 < Lycurgus> it has nothing to do with that
2008-02-19 23:36 < FastLizard4> Or disable DCC
2008-02-19 23:36 < FastLizard4> that works
2008-02-19 23:36 < Leslie_S> oh, its the DCC exploit?
2008-02-19 23:36 < nalioth> FrancoGG: they caught a k-train
2008-02-19 23:36 < Leslie_S> the latestf version of mirc is susceptible to this?
2008-02-19 23:36 < Leslie_S> Khaled must be a jackass.
2008-02-19 23:36 < FastLizard4> Try ChatZilla
2008-02-19 23:36 < Leslie_S> i assumed it was the startkeglogger
2008-02-19 23:36 < FastLizard4> It works pretty well
2008-02-19 23:36 < Lycurgus> wait are you saying the DCC caused the netsplit?
2008-02-19 23:36 < Leslie_S> FastLizard4 i dont like it.
2008-02-19 23:37 < Leslie_S> there was no netsplit.
2008-02-19 23:37 < FastLizard4> Lycurgus: It wasn't a netsplit
2008-02-19 23:37 < wimt_away> It's a router vulnerability rather than related to your client
2008-02-19 23:37 < FastLizard4> Lycurgus: what wimt_away said :P
2008-02-19 23:37 < Leslie_S> wimt_away then why was i just told it had nothing to do with my router?
2008-02-19 23:37 < wimt_away> Leslie_S, I don't know - I'm disagreeing with that
2008-02-19 23:37 < Leslie_S> anyway, how could i fix it on a linksys wrt54g?
2008-02-19 23:37 < FastLizard4> Leslie_S: It's a router exploit /through/ your client
2008-02-19 23:37 < Lycurgus> ur right, not clear why I thought there was.
2008-02-19 23:37 < wimt_away> Leslie_S, but best option is just to connect on port 8001 rather than 6667
2008-02-19 23:38 < wimt_away> Leslie_S, or update your router's firmware
2008-02-19 23:38 < wimt_away> Either way works equally well.
2008-02-19 23:38 < Leslie_S> wimt_away yes, but i'd rather do it the right way. and i cant update the firmware...it gives an error written in poor english.
2008-02-19 23:38 < FastLizard4> Or disable DCC
2008-02-19 23:38 < Mark_Ryan> huh, I'm opped? weird
2008-02-19 23:38 < wimt_away> FastLizard4, wouldn't help
2008-02-19 23:38 < Leslie_S> FastLizard4 you fail to tell me why disabling dcc would help.
2008-02-19 23:38 < FastLizard4> wimt_away: yes it would
2008-02-19 23:38 < Starnestommy> FastLizard4: disabling DCC won't stop the expliot since you'll still get the DCC message
2008-02-19 23:38 < FastLizard4> Oh, true
2008-02-19 23:38 < Leslie_S> seriously, wtf?
2008-02-19 23:39 < FastLizard4> Hmm
2008-02-19 23:39 < Starnestommy> and nothing on the server's side blocks it
2008-02-19 23:39 < wimt_away> Leslie_S, I think just connecting on port 8001 is the easiest tactic for you :-)
2008-02-19 23:39 < FastLizard4> Heh, but ChatZilla appears to be invulnerable to it, so I'm happy :)
2008-02-19 23:39 < Leslie_S> anyway, i hate chatzilla.
2008-02-19 23:39 < wimt_away> FastLizard4, it's your router rather than your client that's not vulnerable
2008-02-19 23:39 < wimt_away> Anyway, I'm off to sleep.
2008-02-19 23:39 < Starnestommy> all disabling DCC will usually do is make your client ignore it or send a dcc close when it gets one
2008-02-19 23:40 < Leslie_S> i like irssi, but using it in windows is a bit of an issue (and dont flame me for being a windows user, thanks.)
2008-02-19 23:40 < Leslie_S> i wonder if my parents would hurt me if i kept my other computer running all the time and ran linux on it, and sshed to it for things like irssi....
2008-02-19 23:40 < FastLizard4> Heh, then it's because I don't have a router :)
2008-02-19 23:41 < Leslie_S> FastLizard4 DUH.
2008-02-19 23:41 < Leslie_S> FastLizard4 if its a ROUTER EXPLOIT, which has been said atleast 3 times in the last 5 minutes, why would chatzilla have anything to do with it?
2008-02-19 23:41 < FastLizard4> ChatZilla autoconnects on 8001
2008-02-19 23:42 < Leslie_S> FastLizard4 thats not always a good thing. some servers dont listen on that port.
2008-02-19 23:42 < wimt_away> All freenode servers do though.
2008-02-19 23:42 < FastLizard4> They do on Freenode
2008-02-19 23:42 < Leslie_S> oh.
2008-02-19 23:42 < Leslie_S> meh.
2008-02-19 23:42 < Leslie_S> heh, my irc network doesnt listen on port 8001, but it listens on 7001.
2008-02-19 23:42 < wimt_away> Take your pick from 6665, 6666, 7000, 7070, 8000, 8001, 8002 in fact :-p
2008-02-19 23:42 < Leslie_S> funky :P
2008-02-19 23:43 < FastLizard4> It's only set to autoconnect on 8001 for freenode, otherwise, use a 666* port
2008-02-19 23:43 < Leslie_S> how did irc come to be on port 6667 anyway?
2008-02-19 23:43 < FastLizard4> wimt_away: Any port actually that starts in 666*
2008-02-19 23:43 < FastLizard4> Leslie_S: How did it get ports that start with 666? That's what I want to know
2008-02-19 23:43 < Leslie_S> is it some kind of bad satanic joke, or just totally random?
2008-02-19 23:43 < wimt_away> FastLizard4, nah that's the full list I believe unless it's been updated (plus 6667 of course)
2008-02-19 23:44 < Leslie_S> FastLizard4 well, 6667 was the original, than ones near it became alternates.
2008-02-19 23:44 < Leslie_S> FastLizard4 and the 666 is why i asked.
2008-02-19 23:44 < FastLizard4> You only have to highlight me once :P
2008-02-19 23:44 < Leslie_S> FastLizard4 im just so sorry that i wanted you to actually see what i said. you know, sometimes i talk to people on irc, and they dont highlight me, and i never see their message in busy channels such as this one.
2008-02-19 23:44 < Leslie_S> because i wasnt looking when they said it.
2008-02-19 23:45 < Leslie_S> so i dont see what the goddamn problem is with it.
2008-02-19 23:45 < FastLizard4> Leslie_S: It's all right, it dosen't really bother me unless they do it 12 times in quick succession
2008-02-19 23:45 < Leslie_S> Then dont tell me not to do it.
2008-02-19 23:45 < Leslie_S> It's annoying as hell.
2008-02-19 23:46 < FastLizard4> Leslie_S: However, it does get annoying if they do it in quick succession, no matter how many times it is done
2008-02-19 23:46 < The359> ....
2008-02-19 23:46 < FastLizard4> Usually I watch a channel for a minute after being highlighted
2008-02-19 23:46 < The359> Someone asking you not to do something is annoying as hell?
2008-02-19 23:46 < FastLizard4> #cvn-wp-en being the exception
2008-02-19 23:47 < FastLizard4> Ahh
2008-02-19 23:47 < FastLizard4> I misphrased what I said
2008-02-19 23:47 < NotACow> mooop
2008-02-19 23:47 < NotACow> FastLizard4: please do nothing
2008-02-19 23:47 < FastLizard4> I meant to say: It's all right, it dosen't really bother me unless they do it 12 times *or* in quick succession
2008-02-19 23:47 < NotACow> FastLizard4: be aware. thank you.
2008-02-19 23:48 < Leslie_S> lol
2008-02-19 23:48 < Leslie_S> NotACow: LOOK BEHIND YOU!
2008-02-19 23:48 < NotACow> FastLizard4: continue to be aware. thank you.
2008-02-19 23:48 < The359> I think Leslie_S was just having a hormonal moment there, FastLizard4
2008-02-19 23:48 < Leslie_S> NotACow LOOK IN FRONT OF YOU!
2008-02-19 23:48 < The359> Your statement seemed rather clear
2008-02-19 23:48 < Leslie_S> NotACow *quiet voice* shop at walmart!
2008-02-19 23:49 < Leslie_S> NotACow: *quiet voice* your life depends on shopping at walmart!
2008-02-19 23:49 * Leslie_S giggles
2008-02-19 23:49 < FastLizard4> Gah! Subliminal advertising!
2008-02-19 23:49 < NotACow> FastLizard4: maintain vigilance. thank you.
2008-02-19 23:49 * FastLizard4 stabs NotACow
2008-02-19 23:49 < The359> Eye on the prize
2008-02-19 23:49 < Leslie_S> to be honest, working at walmart has turned me extremely anti walmart.
2008-02-19 23:49 < NotACow> FastLizard4: continue to exist. thank you.
2008-02-19 23:50 * Mark_Ryan wonders how much someone got paid to design this logo (and suspects it was more than the London 2012 logo designers got paid): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2010_Winter_Olympics_logo.svg
2008-02-19 23:50 * FastLizard4 shoots NotACow
2008-02-19 23:50 < Leslie_S> at this point, the only reason i shop there is because i help them more by working for them than i do by buying from them (and i plan on working for another company soon)
2008-02-19 23:50 < FastLizard4> heh
2008-02-19 23:51 < Leslie_S> sadly, a new job would almost certainly pay me less initially than i make at walmart. i make $8.35/hour, which definitely isnt enough to live on my own with a 32 hour per week schedule, but.....most employers around here pay even worse. :(
2008-02-19 23:52 < Leslie_S> what is the big deal with places paying people such poor wages that they cant afford to live in an apartment without a roommate, anyway?
2008-02-19 23:52 < NotACow> FastLizard4: are you still existing?
2008-02-19 23:52 < NotACow> Mark_Ryan: that is so lame
2008-02-19 23:52 < FastLizard4> NotACow: Almost
2008-02-19 23:52 < Mark_Ryan> NotACow: very MS Paint-y
2008-02-19 23:52 < Leslie_S> Mark_Ryan omg, that is so bad its funny.
2008-02-19 23:53 < Mark_Ryan> evidently the most striking feature of Vancouver is its decapitated and de-limbed residents
2008-02-19 23:53 < Mark_Ryan> who suffer from morbid obesity
2008-02-19 23:54 < Leslie_S> Mark_Ryan rofl
2008-02-19 23:54 * Mark_Ryan goes to get lunch
2008-02-19 23:58 < Leslie_S> comparing that logo to other winter olympics logos...what the hell?
2008-02-19 23:59 < Leslie_S> were they trying to save money by paying some 12 year old kid $20 to make a logo?
2008-02-20 00:00 < The359> Since when are Olympic logos anything more than simple shapes and colors?
2008-02-20 00:00 < AppleBoy> anyone here willing to take part in beta testing an open source game? we need another 14 people
2008-02-20 00:01 < The359> I'm not sure this is the place for that, AppleBoy
2008-02-20 00:01 < Lycurgus> ha "Die clevere Art um geld zu Deutschland zu schenken"
2008-02-20 00:01 < Lycurgus> guess that's what you were talking about
2008-02-20 00:02 < Leslie_S> Mark_Ryan apparently the decapitated and delimbed man is a [[Inukshuk]] ....but still, why would they use it? and it looks almost nothing like an inukshuk shown on [[inukshuk]]!
2008-02-20 00:02 < bumm13> more spam? :p
2008-02-20 00:02 < AppleBoy> that's not spam
2008-02-20 00:02 * AppleBoy shoots Miranda|away
2008-02-20 00:03 < AppleBoy> bumm13: come join
2008-02-20 00:06 < bumm13> I don't do beta testing, sorry
2008-02-20 00:08 < FastLizard4> But betatesting is fun, especially when it means getting software for free that you would otherwise have to pay for!
2008-02-20 00:09 < The359> Unless it sucks
2008-02-20 00:15 < AppleBoy> voting you guys all suck for not helping :(
2008-02-20 00:15 < Rinn> AppleBoy: What kind of game is it?
2008-02-20 00:16 < AppleBoy> kind of like starcraft or warcraft, except different graphics and you're not managing each unit, it's more macro managing
2008-02-20 00:16 < Rinn> I'll give it a shot.
2008-02-20 00:17 < Rinn> Just don't get mad if I ramble about everything that's wrong with it.
2008-02-20 00:17 < FastLizard4> What's "SendQ exceeded" mean?
2008-02-20 00:17 < Lubaf> In two weeks, Hillary's campaign could be dead.
2008-02-20 00:17 < Lubaf> I hope it is.
2008-02-20 00:18 < Lubaf> I find her voice incredibly annoying.
2008-02-20 00:18 < Lubaf> *Incredibly* annoying.
2008-02-20 00:18 < Lycurgus> *Infuriating*
2008-02-20 00:19 < DannyLilithborne> :(
2008-02-20 00:19 < DannyLilithborne> I can't believe people are falling for the "Change is good" schtick
2008-02-20 00:19 < Lubaf> I'm not anti-Hillary, I'm anti-Hillary's voice.
2008-02-20 00:19 < Lycurgus> I'd put a small amount on her capitulation before the convention.
2008-02-20 00:19 < Lubaf> She sounds like a dentists drill.
2008-02-20 00:20 < Lycurgus> with nails on a blackboard.
2008-02-20 00:21 < Lycurgus> and a lot more if she does as poorly on March 4 as she has been doing
2008-02-20 00:22 < Lycurgus> bitch is in free fall.
2008-02-20 00:22 < Lycurgus> albeit in a space currently with a lot of inertia
2008-02-20 00:23 < Lycurgus> though obviously not nearly as much as when she was the presumptive nominee
2008-02-20 00:24 < Lycurgus> by June that inertia should be close to zero if she's still in
2008-02-20 00:24 < zvook> refering to her as a bitch makes you very likeable
2008-02-20 00:25 < Lycurgus> bitch ist eine Anredens form heutzutage
2008-02-20 00:25 < zvook> do you use nigger when you talk about Obama?
2008-02-20 00:25 < Lycurgus> *anredensform
2008-02-20 00:26 < Lycurgus> Me? Not generally since he's racially very similar to myself.
2008-02-20 00:26 < zvook> Just checking.
2008-02-20 00:26 < Lycurgus> except that my father was African-American not African.
2008-02-20 00:26 < Rinn> I'd use "bitch" in reference to Obama, too, if I hated him.
2008-02-20 00:26 < zvook> i guess clinton is unsimilar gender-wise
2008-02-20 00:27 < Lycurgus> but yeah, I suppose in the transcript of my Joycean dialague I have referred to him as "nigger", "brother", "dude", etc.
2008-02-20 00:27 < Lycurgus> *dialogue
2008-02-20 00:28 < Lycurgus> bitches, please.

2008-02-20 00:52 < Ceiling_Cat> oh my god, this book is hysterial
2008-02-20 00:52 < Ceiling_Cat> hysterical*
2008-02-20 00:53 < Ceiling_Cat> "McClellan had the bad luck of following an earlier flack, Ari Fliescher, who had the advantage of freeing himself from the bounds of logic that constrain human conversation"
2008-02-20 00:53 < Ceiling_Cat> "When troops in failed to find the weapons the white house insisted Iraq had, for example, Fliescher reasoned: I think the burden is on those people who think he didn't have weapons of mass destruction to tell the world where they are"
2008-02-20 01:07 < Luna-San> Soo. Blu Ray
2008-02-20 01:07 < The359> FTW
2008-02-20 01:08 < Y_Ichiro> what about blurays...
2008-02-20 01:08 < Y_Ichiro> so you have any grudge against them?
2008-02-20 01:08 < Y_Ichiro> or maybe because they are blue?
2008-02-20 01:08 < The359> They won the format war
2008-02-20 01:09 < Y_Ichiro> I know that
2008-02-20 01:09 < Mark_Ryan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_Hands -- look at the photo.
2008-02-20 01:10 < The359> that's 10 kinds of awesome
2008-02-20 01:10 < The359> hmmm
2008-02-20 01:10 < The359> isn't using the thumbs up picture on the "hand gesture" template going to be offensive?
2008-02-20 01:10 < The359> in some areas?
2008-02-20 01:10 < Mark_Ryan> yeah, isn't it a fingersign to some people?
2008-02-20 01:11 < The359> yes
2008-02-20 01:11 < Mark_Ryan> {{sofixit}}
2008-02-20 01:11 < Mark_Ryan> :)
2008-02-20 01:13 < Ceiling_Cat> omg
2008-02-20 01:13 < Ceiling_Cat> here's another hilarious passage
2008-02-20 01:14 < Ceiling_Cat> it's about [[Jessica Cutler]]
2008-02-20 01:14 < Ceiling_Cat> she kept a blog, describing her sex-for-money dealings in DC
2008-02-20 01:14 < Ceiling_Cat> ahem:
2008-02-20 01:15 < Ceiling_Cat> "Helpfully, Cutler identified her lovers by their initials, including 'F = married man who pays me for sex. Chief of staff at one of the gov agencies, appointed by Bush.' 'W = a sugger daddy who wants nothing but anal. Keep trying to end it with him, but the money is too good'
2008-02-20 01:15 < Ceiling_Cat> 'RS = my new office BF with whom I am embroiled in an office sex scandal. The current favorite'
2008-02-20 01:15 < Ceiling_Cat> At the end of the list, she added: 'Shit. I am fucking six guys. Ewwww.'
2008-02-20 01:17 < Ceiling_Cat> this book is great. It should be required reading for all poli-sci majors
2008-02-20 01:19 < Luna-San> The359: Were you gonna do anything about {{gestures}}? That seems like a kinda important concern you brought up. >.>;;
2008-02-20 01:24 < The359> no
2008-02-20 01:25 < The359> I'd have no clue where else to find a non-offensive picture
2008-02-20 01:26 < Ceiling_Cat> Btw, RS in the above description: http://www.law.ualr.edu/faculty/bios/steinbuch.asp
2008-02-20 01:26 < Luna-San> We could just take it out, for now.
2008-02-20 01:26 < Luna-San> I also notice [[Thumbs up]] is listed under "friendly gestures," which won't always hold true
2008-02-20 01:31 < The359> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bunny_ears.jpg oh lord...
2008-02-20 01:32 < SaadS|AboutUsORG> lol fake/
2008-02-20 01:37 < Luna-San> Surprise, surprise, [[The Finger]] features an angsty teenager.
2008-02-20 01:38 < The359> yeah
2008-02-20 01:38 < Luna-San> Granted it's a nice close-up, though.
2008-02-20 01:40 < bumm13> hiya Luna-San
2008-02-20 01:40 * Ceiling_Cat snickers
2008-02-20 01:40 < Luna-San> Allo~
2008-02-20 01:40 < Ceiling_Cat> Luna-San - NOT EMO ENOUGH
2008-02-20 01:41 < Luna-San> :'( Sorry, master!
2008-02-20 01:41 < Luna-San> I'll get the article to featured status so we can put emo on Main Page. Will that satisfy your urges?
2008-02-20 01:41 < Ceiling_Cat> Please, call me massa
2008-02-20 01:41 < Ceiling_Cat> Yes, that would
2008-02-20 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> in fact, the day afterward, I think I shall feature Jenna Jamison
2008-02-20 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> it has been waiting for a while now to go on the main page
2008-02-20 01:42 < Luna-San> heh
2008-02-20 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> [[Image:Emo.svg]] <-- this appears to be a suitable main page image for Emo
2008-02-20 01:44 < Luna-San> That's an svg, now?
2008-02-20 01:44 < Luna-San> Merf.
2008-02-20 01:44 < Luna-San> Next time I doodle in class, I won't be drawing the old-fashioned way. Oh, no, I'll be carefully plotting out vectors and shit.
2008-02-20 01:45 < Luna-San> Then I'll get home and pop 'em into Inkscape. Purr.
2008-02-20 01:46 * Ceiling_Cat pets Luna-San
2008-02-20 01:46 < Ceiling_Cat> this book is so awesome
2008-02-20 01:46 < Ceiling_Cat> I can't describe it in words
2008-02-20 01:47 < Wile_E_Coyote> smurfalicious?
2008-02-20 01:47 < Luna-San> Use gestures, like charades.
2008-02-20 01:47 < Ceiling_Cat> how can you not laugh reading this sentence:
2008-02-20 01:47 < Ceiling_Cat> "Even worse than the kiss-and-tell staffer is the kiss-and-disappear staffer. In fact, any Potomac man pondering romance with a less powerful figure must pause to consider the cautionary tale of Gary Condit"
2008-02-20 01:47 < Ceiling_Cat> That first sentence is a riot
2008-02-20 01:49 < Ceiling_Cat> also, Milbank describes a Supreme Court nomination as an ornate modern form of kabuki
2008-02-20 01:49 * Lycurgus doesn't get it.
2008-02-20 01:50 < Ceiling_Cat> Lycurgus - Condit was banking a staff intern who disappeared. Her body was found two years later
2008-02-20 01:50 < Ceiling_Cat> banging*
2008-02-20 01:50 < Lycurgus> ah, that kind of disappear.
2008-02-20 01:50 < Ceiling_Cat> the worst part of the whole thing
2008-02-20 01:51 < Ceiling_Cat> Condit was suspected of murdering her and dumping her body, investigated by the FBI, lost his election, became a national disgrace and a pariah
2008-02-20 01:51 < Lycurgus> well banking is metaphorical banging in some cases. Like the World Bank, IMF, etc in Africa.
2008-02-20 01:51 < Ceiling_Cat> and then they find her body, and it turns out she was probably the victim of some random mugger
2008-02-20 01:51 < Ceiling_Cat> and he had nothing to do with it
2008-02-20 01:52 < Ceiling_Cat> I mean, the guy had an affair, but he's paid for it in spades
2008-02-20 01:52 < Lycurgus> yes I remember it. Vaguely.
2008-02-20 01:53 < Ceiling_Cat> meanwhile, here in delaware, we put our next-in-line-to-be-attorney-general on death row for killing his mistress
2008-02-20 01:53 < Lycurgus> call me when those people do something interesting.
2008-02-20 01:53 < Ceiling_Cat> unfortunately, the bastard got his sentence commuted to life in prison
2008-02-20 01:53 < Lycurgus> s/call/wake/
2008-02-20 01:54 < Ceiling_Cat> (mental note: that would make an awesome featured article)
2008-02-20 02:21 < Ceiling_Cat> more lulz
2008-02-20 02:22 * gurch huggles Ceiling_Cat
2008-02-20 02:22 < Ceiling_Cat> "But above the bureau chiefs - above even editorial writers - sits one man: Bob Woodward"
2008-02-20 02:22 * gurch huggles Lycurgus
2008-02-20 02:22 * gurch huggles Luna-San
2008-02-20 02:22 < Luna-San> gurch!
2008-02-20 02:22 * Luna-San huggles
2008-02-20 02:22 * Ceiling_Cat latches onto gurch
2008-02-20 02:40 < Lubaf> Thank you, Mario, but our princess is in another castle!
2008-02-20 02:41 < Lubaf> Ceiling_Cat: You implemented that list of ideas yet?
2008-02-20 02:41 < Lubaf> If not, I have a great name for it:
2008-02-20 02:41 < Lubaf> [[User:Raul654/I'm only one man]]
2008-02-20 02:41 < Ceiling_Cat> Lubaf - omg, you're a genius
2008-02-20 02:41 * gurch huggles Lubaf
2008-02-20 02:42 < Ceiling_Cat> but no, I have not yet implemented it
2008-02-20 02:42 < Lubaf> But that is a great name for it, isn't it?
2008-02-20 02:42 < Lubaf> Or is it terrible?
2008-02-20 02:42 < Ceiling_Cat> Yes, it is indeed
2008-02-20 02:42 < Lubaf> I have no taste, so I can't tell.
2008-02-20 02:42 < Ceiling_Cat> I think you're delicious, myself
2008-02-20 02:43 < Ceiling_Cat> btw, I again want to extoll how awesome this book is
2008-02-20 02:43 < Ceiling_Cat> instead of calling it "Homo Politicus", Dana Milbank should simply have called it "Dana Milbank's Big Book of Sleavy Washington DC anecdotes"
2008-02-20 02:43 < Ceiling_Cat> Sleazy*
2008-02-20 02:44 < gurch> ?
2008-02-20 02:44 < Lubaf> gurch: I haven't stabbed you yet, because I'm trying to be original this time.
2008-02-20 02:45 < gurch> ...
2008-02-20 02:45 < Ceiling_Cat> gurch - Dana Milbank is a washington post reporter. He has a new book out, which is sitting in my lap as I type this
2008-02-20 02:45 * gurch glomps Lubaf
2008-02-20 02:45 * Lubaf was searching for his chainsaw, but that's not very original.
2008-02-20 02:45 < Ceiling_Cat> I heard him describe it on NPR and decided i wanted it, thee and then
2008-02-20 02:45 * Ceiling_Cat has been adding these sleazy anecdotes to our articles
2008-02-20 02:45 < bumm13> thee and then?
2008-02-20 02:45 < Ceiling_Cat> there*
2008-02-20 02:45 < bumm13> ah ;)
2008-02-20 02:46 < Lubaf> Ceiling_Cat: Any good ones you'd like to share?
2008-02-20 02:46 < bumm13> (about articles) heh
2008-02-20 02:46 < Ceiling_Cat> how about: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rod_Paige&diff=192755579&oldid=186753122
2008-02-20 02:47 < Ceiling_Cat> or better yet
2008-02-20 02:47 < Ceiling_Cat> [[Jessica Cutler]]
2008-02-20 02:47 < Ceiling_Cat> she kept a blog, describing her sex-for-money dealings in DC. To quote the book:
2008-02-20 02:47 < Ceiling_Cat> "Helpfully, Cutler identified her lovers by their initials, including 'F = married man who pays me for sex. Chief of staff at one of the gov agencies, appointed by Bush.' 'W = a sugger daddy who wants nothing but anal. Keep trying to end it with him, but the money is too good'
2008-02-20 02:47 < Ceiling_Cat> 'RS = my new office BF with whom I am embroiled in an office sex scandal. The current favorite' At the end of the list, she added: 'Shit. I am fucking six guys. Ewwww.'
2008-02-20 02:48 < zvook> sugger?
2008-02-20 02:48 < cimon> http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/blogs/index.cfm?blogid=4&entryid=1659 - hmm :-/
2008-02-20 02:48 < Ceiling_Cat> zvook - sugar daddy
2008-02-20 02:48 < zvook> sic?
2008-02-20 02:49 < Ceiling_Cat> the typo was mine
2008-02-20 02:49 < cimon> Ceiling_Cat: I am only familiar with the term sugar daddy in terms of venture capital. What is it in real life?
2008-02-20 02:49 < cimon> I am betting it is something sexual...
2008-02-20 02:49 < Ceiling_Cat> cimon - a sugar daddy, in the vernacular, is a rich man who showers gifts on his younger (usually but not necessarily female) lover
2008-02-20 02:49 < zvook> a guy who "keeps" a gal
2008-02-20 02:49 < zvook> i guess Ceiling_Cat's version is more accurate
2008-02-20 02:50 < cimon> so sexual but only kindof...
2008-02-20 02:50 < Ceiling_Cat> it describes a sexual as well as economic relationship
2008-02-20 02:50 < cimon> not aan act as such.
2008-02-20 02:51 < cimon> but longer term
2008-02-20 02:51 < cimon> and nothing to do with candy-ass... ;)
2008-02-20 02:51 < dhave_co> in the south sugar was quite valuable, it would be kept in a special wooden chest
2008-02-20 02:52 < Rinn> I want a chest.
2008-02-20 02:52 < Luna-San> What would you use it for?
2008-02-20 02:52 < Rinn> I don't know. I just think they're really cool.
2008-02-20 02:52 < Rinn> One crafted like a treasure chest.
2008-02-20 02:52 < cimon> dhave_co: most folks keep milk in chests too...
2008-02-20 02:52 < Luna-San> Hmm
2008-02-20 02:52 < tarbo> i would put sixteen men on mine
2008-02-20 02:52 < dhave_co> store the sugar, keep it dry, i think locked up as well
2008-02-20 02:52 < Luna-San> You might be able to get a small one, for jewelry like.
2008-02-20 02:52 < Rinn> I want a big one.
2008-02-20 02:53 < Luna-San> More big = more awesome, yes.
2008-02-20 02:53 < zvook> m-w sez sugar daddy dates to Date:
2008-02-20 02:53 < zvook> 1926
2008-02-20 02:53 < Rinn> About the size of a small cow.
2008-02-20 02:53 < cimon> If I had treasure, I wouldn't put it in a chest, I would put it in like a statue of a falcon...
2008-02-20 02:53 < Rinn> The problem is that I don't have anything cool enough to store in such a chest.
2008-02-20 02:53 < dhave_co> too obvious
2008-02-20 02:54 < zvook> the stuff that dreams are made of
2008-02-20 02:54 < cimon> Or inside a carved out book.
2008-02-20 02:54 < Rinn> I would need to buy a scepter and a royal cape or something to store in the chest.
2008-02-20 02:54 < cimon> Like they always do in the Lucky Luke cartoons...
2008-02-20 02:55 < Rinn> cimon: I did that in school!
2008-02-20 02:55 < zvook> what is more scandalous, that washington staffers are having sex for money, or that they can't spell sugar?
2008-02-20 02:55 < Ceiling_Cat> zvook - the typo was mine, not hers
2008-02-20 02:55 < Rinn> I used to bring candy in my back pack and sell it individually to kids at marked up prices. Eventually I got candy banned at school, so I had to hide it.
2008-02-20 02:55 < zvook> haha for shame
2008-02-20 02:56 < Ceiling_Cat> meh, IRC is not my master's thesis
2008-02-20 02:56 < Ceiling_Cat> I'm allowed to make the occasional typo
2008-02-20 02:56 < zvook> how is that going, btw
2008-02-20 02:56 < zvook> there's a discussion about putting random FA link in the nav box, raul
2008-02-20 02:56 < zvook> i think it would be good.
2008-02-20 02:56 < Ceiling_Cat> nav box?
2008-02-20 02:57 < zvook> navigation thingie on the sidebar
2008-02-20 02:57 < Ceiling_Cat> oh, on the left side of the screen? Yes, I support that
2008-02-20 02:57 < zvook> where you can currently get a random article
2008-02-20 02:58 < zvook> if there were Featured Article and Good Article link, people would get an idea that there were some standards around, as well as it being a really cool feature
2008-02-20 02:58 < cimon> btw, any bird watchers in the channel?
2008-02-20 02:59 < Rinn> I usually look at birds when I'm outside and have nothing else to look at.
2008-02-20 02:59 * Ceiling_Cat prefers to watch people
2008-02-20 02:59 < cimon> Can somebody explain to me which does "rufous" refer to, red or brown or something else?
2008-02-20 02:59 < Ceiling_Cat> rufous = reddish
2008-02-20 02:59 < zvook> i learned from wikipedia that there exist "railfans", who are not neccesarily "trainspotters"
2008-02-20 03:00 < Rinn> Wrong button.
2008-02-20 03:00 < Rinn> "Reddish; of a yellowish red or brownish red colour; tawny"
2008-02-20 03:00 < cimon> yes, but specifically reddish in the meaning of red or brown-red
2008-02-20 03:00 < zvook> i also learned that there are roadfans, who have some name they call themselves
2008-02-20 03:00 < Rinn> Brown-red, I'm guessing.
2008-02-20 03:00 * bumm13 had never heard of "rufous" before
2008-02-20 03:00 < Ceiling_Cat> bumm13 - we had a bird related FA with that name
2008-02-20 03:01 < cimon> Rinn: sort of thought so, as I understand usually birds that are "bright" red are called carmine or something like that...
2008-02-20 03:01 < zvook> Rufus the name comes from latin for red
2008-02-20 03:01 < Rinn> Vermillion!
2008-02-20 03:01 < Ceiling_Cat> Rufous-crowned something or other
2008-02-20 03:02 < cimon> anyway, I guess I'll wait untill JamesFBleak returns from his holiday...
2008-02-20 03:02 < cimon> *JimFBleak
2008-02-20 03:02 < bumm13> JimFBeak
2008-02-20 03:02 < bumm13> ;)
2008-02-20 03:03 < Vermillionaire> Does this name sound more female than Rinn?
2008-02-20 03:03 < bumm13> it sounds more reddish
2008-02-20 03:03 < dhave_co> RUDDY RUST-ISH
2008-02-20 03:04 < cimon> dhave_co: eh?
2008-02-20 03:04 < dhave_co> uh ... nevermind
2008-02-20 03:05 < cimon> 7me is tempted to name himself verdigrisionnaire
2008-02-20 03:08 < Vermillionaire> Are there some people who enforce these or do we just keep [[m:IRC guidelines/wikipedia]] in the topic to placate whoever wanted to push them?
2008-02-20 03:11 < Luna-San> I think they're something of a fallback position, so to speak.
2008-02-20 03:11 < Luna-San> A constitution we can refer to iff needed.
2008-02-20 03:11 < Vermillionaire> So you can give reasons for bans?
2008-02-20 03:11 < Luna-San> Or something.
2008-02-20 03:11 < cimon> http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/impossible_thing_2_comprehensive_free_knowledge_repositories_wikipedia_and_project_gutenberg - heere is an actually thoughtful article...
2008-02-20 03:12 < Luna-San> But yeah, probably that
2008-02-20 03:12 < Luna-San> Otherwise bans and all just kinda amount to "I don't like you"
2008-02-20 03:22 < Lady_Aleena> Hey all...I happened upon an article with an old discussion on the talk page that seems to have been resolved. What is the name of the template that closes such discussion to be subst:?
2008-02-20 03:26 * gurch wonders what is wrong with just leaving it
2008-02-20 03:26 * gurch huggles Lady_Aleena
2008-02-20 03:26 < Lady_Aleena> Just want to show it closed out. That big green box helps break up the monotony of some talk pages.
2008-02-20 03:30 < bainer> there's {{discussion top}} and {{discussion bottom}}
2008-02-20 03:31 < bainer> [[:Category:Archival templates]] has a selection of ones in different colours :)
2008-02-20 03:31 < Lady_Aleena> Perfect...not the green box, but this will do fine!
2008-02-20 03:31 < Lady_Aleena> I didn't know where to look, it has been awhile since I got into nuts and bolts.
2008-02-20 03:36 < Casull> Is there anyone awake and can help me look over a certain article? The article looks like it's being systematically dismantled, and I'm not sure whether or not to rv it back to a certain time.
2008-02-20 03:36 < Lady_Aleena> Title?
2008-02-20 03:37 < Casull> Nagorno-Karabakh
2008-02-20 03:37 < Casull> In particular, please look at the logs, I can't tell what's really going on
2008-02-20 03:37 < Luna-San> Lady_Aleena: Regarding your earlier question, you can also sometimes get by posting {{resolved}} at the top of a section, if preferred
2008-02-20 03:37 < Lady_Aleena> ACK! That article NEEDS WORK!
2008-02-20 03:38 < Lady_Aleena> Luna-San...thanks! LTNS
2008-02-20 03:39 < Lady_Aleena> Casull...still looking, give me a few minutes.
2008-02-20 03:39 < Casull> Lady_Aleena: Please take a look at Abuk78's version of the article. Should the article just be reverted to that point in time?
2008-02-20 03:39 < Casull> Dang, she caught me in mid-type :)
2008-02-20 03:40 < Lady_Aleena> ClueBot beat me to the revert.
2008-02-20 03:41 < Lady_Aleena> Casull, look at it now.
2008-02-20 03:41 < Casull> Ah, wonderful. Though I'm surprised ClueBot could pinpoint out the vandalism even though it was systematically done like that.
2008-02-20 03:42 < Lady_Aleena> Casull: If that wasn't vandalism, I don't know what is. Clearly someone was hurting that article. That means vandalism in my book.
2008-02-20 03:43 < Casull> In my newbie eyes, it could have been someone who was simply forgetting that a preview button existed...though it's extremely late, and as a result, I couldn't tell whether or not his actions were purposely destructive.
2008-02-20 03:48 < Lady_Aleena> They were destructive...but it's fixed now.
2008-02-20 03:50 < Lady_Aleena> Am I right that arachinds are not insects?
2008-02-20 03:51 < sparro1> Insects have six legs, I believe arachnids have eight.
2008-02-20 03:51 < The359> yes
2008-02-20 03:52 < Lady_Aleena> Okay...so not insects, good, I didn't want to break arachnids away from insects to have someone tell me that they were insects. It has been a while since I have had a biology class.
2008-02-20 03:52 < sparro1> I don't know what an 'arachind' is, though.
2008-02-20 03:52 < Lady_Aleena> spiders, etc
2008-02-20 03:52 < sparro1> arachnid
2008-02-20 03:52 < sparro1> Two ns.
2008-02-20 03:52 < Lady_Aleena> sparro1, that was arachnid in mistypish.
2008-02-20 03:53 < sparro1> Mmmm.
2008-02-20 03:53 < Lady_Aleena> I got it right on the page since the link is blue and goes where I want it to without using a redirect.
2008-02-20 03:54 < Lady_Aleena> The359: Thank you for the short answer. :)
2008-02-20 03:55 < Lady_Aleena> Now, do I use section headings in a place where there is only a Main article link for three items, or do I use a definition list set up?
2008-02-20 03:56 < Casull> I personally would go for section headings, Aleena
2008-02-20 03:57 < Casull> It's quite fascinating to see the vandalism in Wiki; a lot of it seems to be people putting in personal shoutouts, spiels, mini-rants, one-liners, what-have-you.
2008-02-20 03:58 < Lady_Aleena> Should I use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lady_Aleena/Sandbox#This or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lady_Aleena/Sandbox#That ?
2008-02-20 03:59 < bainer> Casull: that's the observation that led to this page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GAY
2008-02-20 03:59 < Casull> I vote this. It looks a bit nicer.
2008-02-20 04:00 < Lady_Aleena> Okay, so no change.
2008-02-20 04:01 < Casull> Minesweeper. Ha ha. Though I'm surprised it doesn't say Solitaire, they're both that dang popular.
2008-02-20 04:17 < Casull> Say Aleena, do you use any anti-vandalism tools or are you checking the diff?
2008-02-20 04:18 < Lady_Aleena> I was checking the diff, that is why ClueBot beat me to the punch.
2008-02-20 04:19 < Casull> Heh, I'm totally thinking of getting an anti-vandalism program, but I don't know if that makes me a tad obsessed with anti-vandalism :)
2008-02-20 04:19 < Casull> Plus, there's a pretty big list of programs, and it's far too late in the night for me to be reading and trying to choose one.
2008-02-20 04:19 < Lady_Aleena> Casull: I like to take my time to get the know what is going on before reverting.
2008-02-20 04:20 < Casull> Mmm, mmm, though there are, of course, the really obvious vandalism which the bots miss sometimes.
2008-02-20 04:20 < Lady_Aleena> Rarely yes
2008-02-20 04:51 < Casull> Hmmm. Anyone awake?
2008-02-20 04:51 < Lady_Aleena> Yes, but editing another film list.
2008-02-20 04:51 < Vermillionaire> I am!
2008-02-20 04:51 < Casull> Go to bed, dang it!
2008-02-20 04:51 < Casull> I kid, I kid
2008-02-20 04:51 < Rinn> Never!
2008-02-20 04:52 < Casull> Anyway, I called because I'd like your opinions on the article on Casseva
2008-02-20 04:52 < Casull> Is it just me, or does it seem...advertising-like?
2008-02-20 04:52 < Rinn> I think it smells!
2008-02-20 04:52 < Lady_Aleena> I am trying to decide whether to make a table a bulletted list to match other articles which link to this one.
2008-02-20 04:52 < Casull> aaaaand it got marked already!
2008-02-20 04:53 < Casull> Aaaand I can feel myself going insane. Going to bed, night all.
2008-02-20 04:54 < Lady_Aleena> Night Casull.
2008-02-20 06:11 * Lady_Aleena ponders screaming.
2008-02-20 06:12 * The359 gets a knife to give Lady_Aleena something to scream about
2008-02-20 06:13 < Lady_Aleena> The359, there is an editor who is trying to keep tight control over a list by saying that only items with articles deserve to be on the list, which is just BS to me.
2008-02-20 06:15 * brown_cat growls at The359
2008-02-20 06:16 < Lady_Aleena> I wonder if I should get a sysop involved to help break this dispute.
2008-02-20 06:35 < Leslie_S> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Inunnguaq_Rankin_Inlet_1996-07-18.jpg
2008-02-20 06:35 < Leslie_S> rofl
2008-02-20 06:36 < Leslie_S> compare to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2010_Winter_Olympics_logo.svg
2008-02-20 06:37 * Lady_Aleena has been given something to ponder for a moment.
2008-02-20 06:37 < kgoetz> hehe
2008-02-20 06:51 < brown_cat_mac> hmmmm
2008-02-20 06:51 * brown_cat_mac looks at the stripper page on wikipedia
2008-02-20 06:51 < brown_cat_mac> xD
2008-02-20 06:51 < brown_cat_mac> "A "fully nude" stripper at the end of her performance, though note that she is still wearing high heeled shoes—for practical and aesthetic reasons."
2008-02-20 06:51 < brown_cat_mac> I was really focussing on her shoes xD
2008-02-20 06:52 < kgoetz> o_0
2008-02-20 06:53 * kgoetz imagines 220 extra people look at the page

2008-02-20 06:56 < Luna-San> Yeah, we know what brown_cat looks for on Wikimedia. :o
2008-02-20 06:56 < brown_cat_mac> Luna-San: actually, that has to be the second thing like that i have seen on wikipedia
2008-02-20 06:57 < Luna-San> I know I've seen the image you mentioned, but not sure where I ran across it.
2008-02-20 06:57 < brown_cat_mac> xD
2008-02-20 06:57 < Luna-San> I mean uh...
2008-02-20 06:57 * Luna-San runs

2008-02-20 07:33 * brown_cat_mac wonders why you would want an ipod shuffle with 2 gigs - it has no screen -_-
2008-02-20 07:37 < Lycurgus> and yet it must display?
2008-02-20 07:37 < brown_cat> yes
2008-02-20 07:37 < kgoetz> brown_cat_mac: assume ~1mb per minute

2008-02-20 07:42 < Lycurgus> does furry mean something other than hairy applied to a person? Does it refer to animal rights?
