2008-03-01 10:48 < CharlotteWebb> it's like a [[mood ring]]
2008-03-01 10:48 < bridezilla> What's the definition of "major", though?
2008-03-01 10:50 < bumm13> certain cities are large metropolitan areas with significant media, corporate presence, etc.
2008-03-01 10:50 < bumm13> or
2008-03-01 10:50 < CharlotteWebb> greater than or equal to spokane
2008-03-01 10:50 < bumm13> significant population centers in less-populated sections of a state, I suppose
2008-03-01 10:50 < OverlordQ> Huh, how come [[Image:Wikipedia_growth.png]] en turned into a flat line?
2008-03-01 10:50 < Tony_Sidaway> Ain't no lie, ain't no lie, ain't no lie, Spokane.
2008-03-01 10:50 < scorchsaber> Hello32020: No, wikipedia isn't immune necessarily.
2008-03-01 10:51 < Tony_Sidaway> There you are, Spokane now has a cool city song.
2008-03-01 10:51 < bridezilla> bumm13: Shouldn't it list major COUNTIES rather than CITIES under STATES, though?
2008-03-01 10:51 < scorchsaber> Hello32020: That's a US law (and french law) defending it. This guy isn't in either nation.
2008-03-01 10:51 < Lycurgus> prolly metro area more than a million
2008-03-01 10:51 < bumm13> bridezilla: this WP link may help you -
2008-03-01 10:51 < bumm13> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_metropolitan_area
2008-03-01 10:51 < CharlotteWebb> thank you <s>eric clapton</s> j.j. cale
2008-03-01 10:51 < bumm13> bridezilla: no, counties aren't viewed in the same sense
2008-03-01 10:52 < bridezilla> I rarely hear Americans talking about their county in movies etc. Mostly just state or citiy.
2008-03-01 10:52 < bridezilla> s/citiy/city/
2008-03-01 10:52 < bridezilla> Why is that?
2008-03-01 10:52 < bumm13> counties are a more "arbitrary" form of geographic division here
2008-03-01 10:52 < bridezilla> I see...
2008-03-01 10:52 < bumm13> counties are basically subsections of states
2008-03-01 10:53 < bumm13> not just geographically but governmentally
2008-03-01 10:53 < bridezilla> Well.. yeah. That's my point.
2008-03-01 10:53 < bridezilla> So they should be the logical "next step" under state.
2008-03-01 10:53 < bumm13> a person may just as well talk about the state they live in/are from
2008-03-01 10:53 < bumm13> uh, no
2008-03-01 10:53 < Hello32020> Could an Italian court even do anything? Any Wikipedia servers stationed there? Maybe they could block Wikipedia, that's it?
2008-03-01 10:54 < bumm13> some U.S. states have relatively few counties; some have hundreds
2008-03-01 10:54 < bumm13> it's all rather arbitrary
2008-03-01 10:54 < bumm13> whereas large metropolitan areas/cities are better "real life" points of reference
2008-03-01 10:54 < CharlotteWebb> anyway regarding john mccain's alleged paramour, merge/redirect to "lobbyist controversy" is an easy choice
2008-03-01 10:55 < bridezilla> Hrmz.
2008-03-01 10:55 < bumm13> what country are you from? (curious)
2008-03-01 10:55 < OverlordQ> yea, there's over 3k counties all together, and how they're divided up is rather arbitrary like bumm13 said
2008-03-01 10:56 < bridezilla> Scandinavia.
2008-03-01 10:56 < bumm13> ah ok
2008-03-01 10:56 < bumm13> not a country, but close enough ;)
2008-03-01 10:56 < bridezilla> Saying "China" or "Russia" wouldn't be too specific either ;)
2008-03-01 10:57 < bridezilla> Was it Georgia that didn't have counties but something else?
2008-03-01 10:57 < bumm13> each state did its own thing regarding the creation/dividing up into counties
2008-03-01 10:57 < CharlotteWebb> louisiana has parishes
2008-03-01 10:57 < bumm13> Louisiana has parishes
2008-03-01 10:57 < bumm13> but those are functionally the same as counties
2008-03-01 10:57 < CharlotteWebb> alaska has no counties. it does have boroughs as the closest thing
2008-03-01 10:58 < bumm13> Alaska is the only state that has no counties
2008-03-01 10:58 < CharlotteWebb> but much of alaska is not part of any borough
2008-03-01 10:58 < bridezilla> I can't believe I actually used to confuse Texas with Mexico.
2008-03-01 10:58 < bumm13> :x
2008-03-01 10:58 < OverlordQ> http://www.n9jig.com/counties/county.html
2008-03-01 10:59 < CharlotteWebb> bridezilla it's not a common mistake for visitors
2008-03-01 11:00 < bridezilla> Not common?
2008-03-01 11:00 < CharlotteWebb> not an uncommon
2008-03-01 11:00 < CharlotteWebb> err
2008-03-01 11:00 < bridezilla> Ah...
2008-03-01 11:00 < bridezilla> Really?
2008-03-01 11:00 < bridezilla> I can't see any possible reason for confusing them.
2008-03-01 11:00 < bridezilla> Except maybe both have an X in the middle.
2008-03-01 11:00 < bridezilla> But one is huge and a country...
2008-03-01 11:00 < bridezilla> While the other one is a (well... large) state.
2008-03-01 11:01 < CharlotteWebb> se habla español
2008-03-01 11:01 < CharlotteWebb> mucho
2008-03-01 11:01 < bumm13> Texas was once (basically) part of Mexico
2008-03-01 11:01 < bumm13> American influence became strong there and eventually that led to the Mexican-American War
2008-03-01 11:02 < CharlotteWebb> it was also independent for 9 years
2008-03-01 11:02 < bumm13> Texas became a U.S. state (after a very brief time as a republic)
2008-03-01 11:02 < bumm13> while Coahuila remains a Mexican state
2008-03-01 11:09 * jonl is looking for wikipedians who are focused on health/medicine.
2008-03-01 11:14 < Hello32020> Anyone know if its OK to have 2 FACs at once submitted by yourself if its two completly different topics? (In my case A video game and a Pacific hurricane season)
2008-03-01 11:18 < Lycurgus> jonl: the talk pages of articles in those categories is the best place to connect with such individuals.
2008-03-01 11:43 < jtizzle1854> if you have two computers can you hook them up to a USB connection and share files?
2008-03-01 11:44 < syntaxerror55> jtizzle1854: OS?
2008-03-01 11:45 < Sad`Panda> you need special cable to do this - not normal usb - usb, you must have something that is called usb network cable or sth like that or you will destroy your usb ports
2008-03-01 11:47 < stwalkerster> jtizzle1854, The easiest way of sharing files between 2 computers is to use an ethernet connection
2008-03-01 11:47 < stwalkerster> with crossover cable between their ethernet ports
2008-03-01 11:58 < NotACow> moo!
2008-03-01 11:59 < NotACow> I ARE EVIL
2008-03-01 12:00 < Not_the_NSA> I ARE NOTACOW
2008-03-01 12:00 < NotACow> YOU ARE LIAR.
2008-03-01 12:00 < Not_the_NSA> NO I AM NOT
2008-03-01 12:00 < Thehelpfulone2> oh noes
2008-03-01 12:00 < Not_the_NSA> o/O
2008-03-01 12:00 < Thehelpfulone2> o.O
2008-03-01 12:01 < Ryan_wp> :o
2008-03-01 12:03 < jtizzle1854> oh my OS is windows vista and windows XP syntaxerror
2008-03-01 12:03 < jtizzle1854> one computer has vista one has XP
2008-03-01 12:03 < jtizzle1854> i have a USB cable but i need a special cable?
2008-03-01 12:04 < Ryan_wp> What was the question?
2008-03-01 12:04 < jtizzle1854> can I hook up 2 computers and share files with a USB cable?
2008-03-01 12:04 < Faroframkallande> use a cat5 cable
2008-03-01 12:04 < stwalkerster> not without a special usb networking cable
2008-03-01 12:04 < Faroframkallande> it's faster (though cat6 is faster still)
2008-03-01 12:05 < Ryan_wp> No, can't do that with a USB. Do you have a router?
2008-03-01 12:05 < Faroframkallande> and usb networking sounds funny
2008-03-01 12:05 < stwalkerster> Faroframkallande, ca6 = gigabit?
2008-03-01 12:05 < Faroframkallande> stwalkerster: yes
2008-03-01 12:06 < Ryan_wp> jtizzle1854: You can use a network if your computers share an internet router.
2008-03-01 12:07 < autocracy> windows XP syntaxerror???
2008-03-01 12:07 < jtizzle1854> i don't have a router
2008-03-01 12:08 < autocracy> jtizzle1854: how are you online right now? wireless? dialup? direct to a cable / dsl box?
2008-03-01 12:08 < jtizzle1854> dialup
2008-03-01 12:08 < Lycurgus> figgers
2008-03-01 12:08 < autocracy> jtizzle1854: usb memory stick?
2008-03-01 12:08 < jtizzle1854> ?
2008-03-01 12:08 < Ryan_wp> Hmm... the only other thing I can think of is a USB Flash Drive.
2008-03-01 12:09 < autocracy> yeah, that'd probably cost as much as a crossed over usb cable anyway, and have more utility in life
2008-03-01 12:09 < jtizzle1854> ok
2008-03-01 12:09 < autocracy> you can probably buy one at the grocery store these days
2008-03-01 12:09 < Ryan_wp> I have one that has as much memory as a cheap laptop!
2008-03-01 12:10 < Lycurgus> if both machines have net adapters all you have to is connect them with an ethernet cable and configure appropriately
2008-03-01 12:10 < Lycurgus> virtually all pc this century have network adapters
2008-03-01 12:11 < Ryan_wp> I don't believe you can connect PCs directly with Ethernet cables. I've tried that.
2008-03-01 12:11 < autocracy> Ryan_wp: usually has to be a crossover
2008-03-01 12:11 < jtizzle1854> so you have to have a special USB cable to hook up and share files with 2 computers?
2008-03-01 12:12 < Ryan_wp> autocracy: umm... yeah! I knew that! I was just seeing if you knew that... that
2008-03-01 12:12 < autocracy> jtizzle1854: yes... or ethernet, or firewire...
2008-03-01 12:12 < Ryan_wp> jtizzle1854: To do it directly, yes.
2008-03-01 12:14 < Ryan_wp> I find a USB Flash Drive much easier, though.
2008-03-01 12:16 < jtizzle1854> ok so I can't use my regular USB cable? the one I use to connect my computer to my external dvd burner?
2008-03-01 12:17 < bumm13> No
2008-03-01 12:17 < bumm13> nope
2008-03-01 12:17 < bumm13> no can do
2008-03-01 12:17 < bumm13> :)
2008-03-01 12:17 < autocracy> jtizzle1854: the ends probably won't even fit
2008-03-01 12:17 < autocracy> jtizzle1854: why the insistence on networking vs. sneaker-netting?
2008-03-01 12:18 < Ryan_wp> Nope, sorry! Usually, you need to get a cable designed specifically for such a task. ;)
2008-03-01 12:19 < cctoide> We used to hook up two PCs together and transfer files with something called "PC-Linq"
2008-03-01 12:19 < jtizzle1854> sneaker netting?
2008-03-01 12:19 < cctoide> I'm not sure whether the cable was special or not
2008-03-01 12:19 < autocracy> jtizzle1854: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet
2008-03-01 12:19 < bumm13> jtizzle1854 - transferring data using media storage
2008-03-01 12:19 < jtizzle1854> ok
2008-03-01 12:20 < Ryan_wp> jtizzle1854: Such as a USB Flash Drive :)
2008-03-01 12:21 * Ryan_wp admits he has an obsession with Flash Drives, but hey, he had to deal with 3.5 Inch Floppy Disks before that!
2008-03-01 12:22 < bumm13> 5.25" floppies sucked :P
2008-03-01 12:22 * autocracy has done 100+ disk floppy backups of a hard drive
2008-03-01 12:22 < bumm13> ick
2008-03-01 12:22 * Compression_Cat helped them fit onto the disks
2008-03-01 12:23 < Ryan_wp> Not enough memory? [[ZIP (file format)]]
2008-03-01 12:23 < Ryan_wp> :)
2008-03-01 12:23 < bumm13> RAR is nice for splitting files across volumes
2008-03-01 12:25 * Ryan_wp used to rely on [[7zip]]
2008-03-01 12:25 < bumm13> that's a good compression format
2008-03-01 12:26 < Ryan_wp> It also helped to pack/unpack various files on Windows 98 (no built in zip compatibility)
2008-03-01 12:27 < Ryan_wp> That was my old, but nice computer
2008-03-01 12:28 < Ryan_wp> It's on the desk next to me now... sitting... and sitting... being used occasionally. It's an [[eOne]].
2008-03-01 12:28 < bumm13> hmm
2008-03-01 12:28 < Ryan_wp> It's my TV :p
2008-03-01 12:28 < bumm13> my old computer is also sitting here, idle
2008-03-01 12:28 < bumm13> heh
2008-03-01 12:30 < bumm13> that's an interesting beast
2008-03-01 12:31 < Ryan_wp> Well, technically (get ready for this)... My antenna picked up radio signals passing through the air which were then processed by the VCR which then moved into the computer's video card through RCA cable which translated it into a video signal readable by the ATI Video Software. Hey! I warned you!
2008-03-01 12:32 < Ryan_wp> Oh, and I used my [[Nintendo Gamecube]] on it. :D
2008-03-01 12:33 < NotACow> moo
2008-03-01 12:34 * NotACow still uses the computer she bought in 1995
2008-03-01 12:34 < Ryan_wp> Hey! I thought you weren't a cow! :p Anyway, hello there.
2008-03-01 12:35 < bumm13> over-the-air TV programming sucks :P
2008-03-01 12:35 < bumm13> (for the most part)
2008-03-01 12:36 < NotACow> jimmy needs a better class of girlfriend.
2008-03-01 12:37 * Ryan_wp took apart a (damaged) Compaq Presario PC and took a hard drive and CD drive from an old HP Pavillion PC (that worked). He placed the said drives into the Presario, and it worked!
2008-03-01 12:37 < bumm13> w00t
2008-03-01 12:37 < bumm13> such l33t hax0ring ;)
2008-03-01 12:37 < Ryan_wp> Did I mention I did that when I was 11? :D
2008-03-01 12:38 < bumm13> your parents must've been proud
2008-03-01 12:39 < bumm13> I think we were still using a tired old Leading Edge 8088 PC when I was 11
2008-03-01 12:39 < Ryan_wp> Yes! My dad had replaced the hard drive in my grandmother's computer (the Pavillion) the day before. Belive it or not, I did *not* learn how to do that by watching him. I learned it all on my own. BD
2008-03-01 12:40 < Ryan_wp> I mean :D
2008-03-01 12:40 < bumm13> it's not like it's so difficult to do
2008-03-01 12:41 < Ryan_wp> true, but at the age of 11 it was very cool. :)
2008-03-01 12:41 < bumm13> I had a NES when I was 11 ;)
2008-03-01 12:41 < bumm13> (still have it)
2008-03-01 12:43 < Ryan_wp> Ah, good ol' NES. Everyone now thinks games have to be 3d, HD, and have some sort of greatest graphics award. I don't, I even play a good ol' game of Pong every now and then. :)
2008-03-01 12:43 < Messedrocker> god damn sonic's mortality!
2008-03-01 12:43 < Messedrocker> why must he drown
2008-03-01 12:43 < Messedrocker> why can't be he like mario and... not drown
2008-03-01 12:43 < Ryan_wp> The days when you were a square trying to hit the other square...
2008-03-01 12:44 < Ryan_wp> Messedrocker: lol! :D
2008-03-01 12:44 < Messedrocker> Ryan_wp, some of my favorite games are from the NES :)
2008-03-01 12:44 < bumm13> Ryan_wp - I don't think you're old enough to remember those days :)
2008-03-01 12:44 < Messedrocker> Ryan_wp, more like, you were a line trying to hit a square
2008-03-01 12:44 < bumm13> (timeless stuff, of course)
2008-03-01 12:44 * Messedrocker is playing Sonic Rush at the moment -- the DS incarnation of the sonic the hedgehog series
2008-03-01 12:45 < Ryan_wp> I have some of the Plug-Into-TV things... Atari, Activision...
2008-03-01 12:45 < Ryan_wp> You've probably seen [[User:Ryan]] by now, hm?
2008-03-01 12:45 < bumm13> nope
2008-03-01 12:46 < Ryan_wp> no? You might be in for a shock then :D
2008-03-01 12:46 < Messedrocker> Ryan_wp, how did you plug video game consoles into TVs before the era of the RCA cable?
2008-03-01 12:46 < Ryan_wp> go to the Info section
2008-03-01 12:48 < Ryan_wp> With "cable plugs"... I don't know what they're called, but they're the wires with the end you screw on and there's the tiny wire in the middle.
2008-03-01 12:48 < bumm13> I never used composite cables to plug in any of my consoles
2008-03-01 12:49 < Ryan_wp> No, not RCA cables.
2008-03-01 12:49 < bumm13> just coax and RF boxes :)
2008-03-01 12:50 < bumm13> that's coaxial cable :-)
2008-03-01 12:50 < Ryan_wp> Yeah, that's it :)
2008-03-01 12:51 < Messedrocker> sonic rush may be more complicated than the original sonic the hedgehog
2008-03-01 12:51 < Messedrocker> but the controls are still just as simple
2008-03-01 12:52 * bumm13 pets his cat
2008-03-01 12:52 < Ryan_wp> If you think that's complicated, never try [[Sonic and the Secret Rings]]. Forward, Back, Right, Left, Up, Down,Diagonal...
2008-03-01 12:52 < Messedrocker> it's a 3D game?
2008-03-01 12:54 < Ryan_wp> Yes. My neighbor has it. It's not the traditional side-scrolling game, it's much more complicated.
2008-03-01 12:55 * CharlotteWebb still finds it fascinating that we have the [[Konami Code]] article, plus a list
2008-03-01 12:55 < Messedrocker> Ryan_wp, you didn't mention "jump"
2008-03-01 12:56 < NotACow> yump yump
2008-03-01 12:56 < Messedrocker> no notacow, "jump" is not pronounced with a soft j
2008-03-01 12:56 < bumm13> soft j?
2008-03-01 12:56 < CharlotteWebb> ja
2008-03-01 12:57 < Ryan_wp> Messedrocker: Too....complicated....must.............have cookie....
2008-03-01 12:58 < Messedrocker> so is there jumping in secret rings?
2008-03-01 12:58 < Ryan_wp> Yes
2008-03-01 12:59 < Ryan_wp> Plus there's special stuff... Jump, kick,jump....something else...
2008-03-01 13:00 < Ryan_wp> I know that if you jump and flick the [[Wii Remote]], you do a jump-kick.
2008-03-01 13:03 < Messedrocker> have you played super mario galaxy
2008-03-01 13:04 < Ryan_wp> My neighbor has that too. He only lets me be the second player (as his "helper").
2008-03-01 13:05 < Ryan_wp> I don't know how the first player controls work
2008-03-01 13:05 < Messedrocker> wii remote does pointing the cursor, spin attack, jumping, throwing star bits, and camera angle switching
2008-03-01 13:06 < Messedrocker> nunchuk does movement through the d-pad, crouching, and a quick camera angle switch
2008-03-01 13:06 < Ryan_wp> Oh! Well, there you go :)
2008-03-01 13:06 * Messedrocker has some 96 stars in that game
2008-03-01 13:07 * Ryan_wp 's neighbor has... a currently unknown amount of stars.
2008-03-01 13:08 * Ryan_wp has to go soon
2008-03-01 13:09 * Messedrocker wishes new super mario bros. was harder and had significantly more levels
2008-03-01 13:09 < Messedrocker> after only a week of playing i beat the game

2008-03-01 14:59 < Ceiling_Cat> Thehelpfulone2 - Yes
2008-03-01 14:59 * Thehelpfulone2 looks up for holes in the ceiling
2008-03-01 14:59 * Thehelpfulone2 sees one and looks for a cat!
2008-03-01 15:00 * Thehelpfulone2 only sees dust
2008-03-01 15:00 * stwalkerster sees no holes, thankfully :P
2008-03-01 15:00 < Ceiling_Cat> See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ceiling_Cat#Ceiling_Cat-related_humor
2008-03-01 15:02 * Thehelpfulone2 notes that any picture that is on wikipedia can be transformed into something horrific or wierd using photoshop
2008-03-01 15:23 < Sfan00> Thehelpfulone- Only if it's under a 'free' license
2008-03-01 15:23 < Sfan00> :)
2008-03-01 15:23 < Thehelpfulone2> :D
2008-03-01 15:23 < Sfan00> And actually doing collage using GFDL images might be a good idea for some images
2008-03-01 15:26 < Gracenotes> well, I'm sure you could make a horrible derivative
2008-03-01 15:26 < Gracenotes> if you wanted to
2008-03-01 15:26 < Gracenotes> if it's not a free license, though, you don't have the right to *distribute* the derivative
2008-03-01 15:27 < Sfan00> Gracenotes: Is it parody?
2008-03-01 15:27 < Gracenotes> no... but that just means you can't distribute it
2008-03-01 15:28 < Gracenotes> I'm pretty sure the gov't won't arrest you if you edit a copyright image in GIMP and save it to your computer
2008-03-01 15:29 < Gracenotes> Sfan00: do you know if that's the case? It wouldn't quite make sense if it were.
2008-03-01 15:29 < Sfan00> Parody is protected in the US is it not?
2008-03-01 15:30 < Sfan00> Gracenotes: Well you don't get the US Copyright facists scannning machines without warrent (yet)
2008-03-01 15:30 < Gracenotes> I'm not talking about parody derivatives here.
2008-03-01 15:30 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-03-01 15:30 < Gracenotes> e.g., taking the Google logo and inverting the colors
2008-03-01 15:31 < Gracenotes> >.>
2008-03-01 15:31 < Sfan00> LOL
2008-03-01 15:31 < Sfan00> As long as you kept it personal I don't see an issue
2008-03-01 15:32 < Gracenotes> yeah. My question is whether making such derivatives but keeping it personal is codified in any way by law
2008-03-01 15:32 < Sfan00> Well you aren't 'publishing' so...
2008-03-01 15:32 < Sfan00> And you aren't using it to misrepresent the original owner of the trademarks, copyrights etc....
2008-03-01 15:33 < Sfan00> (I am not a copyright atternoy here)
2008-03-01 15:33 < Sfan00> (In fact I am NOT a lawyer)
2008-03-01 15:45 < bridezilla> Does Wikipedia have an article listing all movies ever made?
2008-03-01 15:45 < bridezilla> I am trying to make a database of all movies ever made.
2008-03-01 15:46 < DanL-> there's a category of movies, but it's not complete
2008-03-01 15:46 < Sfan00> bridezilla try IMDB ;)
2008-03-01 15:46 < Sfan00> Or the BFI site?
2008-03-01 15:48 < bridezilla> FBI?
2008-03-01 15:48 < bridezilla> IMDb is not a database like that.
2008-03-01 15:48 < bridezilla> They don't have a list...
2008-03-01 15:49 < DanL-> anyone see the social network stff wikia released?
2008-03-01 15:51 < NotACow> DanL-: i saw the announcement but haven't looked at it
2008-03-01 15:51 < DanL-> any thoughts on it?
2008-03-01 15:51 < NotACow> DanL-: frankly i didn't see the point; wikipedia proves that the base mediawiki platform is quite sufficient for social networking
2008-03-01 15:52 < DanL-> fair enough :)
2008-03-01 15:53 < Scarian> NotACow: How are you today?
2008-03-01 15:54 < DanL-> NotACow -- I really didn't expect wikipedia to employ it, but feedback is alwaysgood :)
2008-03-01 15:56 < NotACow> Scarian: my hip hurts.
2008-03-01 15:56 < NotACow> Scarian: i slipped and fell on the ice ysterdae
2008-03-01 15:56 < Scarian> NotACow: Are you gonna go to the doctor?
2008-03-01 15:56 < NotACow> Scarian: why would i do that?
2008-03-01 15:57 < Scarian> NotACow: Just in case you may fractured it...?
2008-03-01 15:57 < Scarian> *may have
2008-03-01 15:57 < NotACow> Scarian: highly unlikelyu
2008-03-01 15:57 < Scarian> Just trying to keep you alive :)
2008-03-01 15:59 < geniice> do people think there is any chance I could get http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Plasmaballvid1.ogg to featured video status?
2008-03-01 16:04 < Lycurgus> i thought ogg was an audio format
2008-03-01 16:04 < Aqwis2> please nom it, i will support
2008-03-01 16:05 < DanL-> Lycurgus so did I!
2008-03-01 16:06 < geniice> Lycurgus ogg is a container which can be filled with a number of formats
2008-03-01 16:06 < Gracenotes> Lycurgus: it's a codec
2008-03-01 16:06 < OverlordQ> vorbis is the actual audio component
2008-03-01 16:07 < geniice> da and we use Theora for video
2008-03-01 16:07 < Gracenotes> or, it can contain a codec. arg.
2008-03-01 16:07 < geniice> technicaly you could use Dirac for video but no one would be able to play it
2008-03-01 16:08 < Lycurgus> yes, just scanned the art. seems like a failed attempt at platform independence
2008-03-01 16:09 < geniice> Lycurgusv ogg? more patent issue thing
2008-03-01 16:09 < Lycurgus> same thing
2008-03-01 16:10 < Lycurgus> or similar

2008-03-01 16:49 < Alkivar> At one point he owed the Foundation some $30,000 in receipts, and this while we were preparing for the audit.
2008-03-01 16:49 < Alkivar> Subway ticket in Moscow: $0.50. Massage parlor in Moscow: priceless. Some were accepted; others were not, like the $650 spent on two bottles of wine during a dinner for four at Bern's
2008-03-01 16:49 < Alkivar> I wonder if the students who gave up their lunch money to donate to Wikipedia would have approved of that expense.
2008-03-01 16:49 < Alkivar> ouch
2008-03-01 16:50 < Rinn> I don't think any students gave up their lunch money to donate to Wikipedia.
2008-03-01 16:51 < Sfan00> Alkivar: Spending the Foundations money on non-projects?
2008-03-01 16:52 < Scarian> Alkiva: Where are his sources?

2008-03-01 17:24 < kibble> [AGK]: I only added him with 2 because I added him with that much this morning to #cvn-wp-en ;-)

2008-03-01 17:26 < [AGK]> kibble, who do I talk to about adding 1 to my access?
2008-03-01 17:26 < [AGK]> (you seem to know your way about the access list, hence why I'm asking :) )
2008-03-01 17:26 < adam1213> agk it deppends on your irc client, but generall /chanserv would be more common than /cs and msg is more common than that
2008-03-01 17:27 < kibble> [AGK]: ft2 ;-)
2008-03-01 17:27 < [AGK]> yeah, you're right: I didn't see your last message
2008-03-01 17:27 < kibble> he would add you with 10 though :-P

2008-03-01 17:27 < [AGK]> kibble: :D

2008-03-01 17:30 < adam1213> agk if you do get access granted be careful, i have had a rogue user remove my access from another wikipedia room and got banned from it for a while for joking about kicking someone in here in the past (which i could not even do, and i said i couldnt)
2008-03-01 17:31 * adam1213 questions Not_the_NSA on picking an obvious name
2008-03-01 17:31 < adam1213> that is to suspicous
2008-03-01 17:31 < Not_the_NSA> adam1213: ? O.o
2008-03-01 17:31 * Not_the_NSA is Not_the_NSA
2008-03-01 17:31 * Not_the_NSA wiretaps adam1213
2008-03-01 17:31 < Chetblong> hahah
2008-03-01 17:31 * adam1213 lives in Australia not America
2008-03-01 17:31 < adam1213> you cant do that to me
2008-03-01 17:31 < adam1213> get lost
2008-03-01 17:32 < adam1213> Not_the_NSA and if you were to able to i would have to congradulate you for tapping this irc room alone which your already in

2008-03-01 17:33 < geniice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Plasmaball_vid1
2008-03-01 17:33 < Thehelpfulone2> adam1213: what do you mean - rougue user remove your access? which #wikipedia channel was it in?
2008-03-01 17:34 < Not_the_NSA> adam1213: the point of NSA wiretapping is to tap communications coming from and going to other countries
2008-03-01 17:34 < adam1213> #wikipedia-en-vandalism or something the channel has been renamed twice, and that rogue user was found to be rogue lieing about their credentials
2008-03-01 17:34 < Not_the_NSA> which is why I tap you
2008-03-01 17:34 < bridezilla> http://www.anontalk.com/topic/512
2008-03-01 17:34 < adam1213> yes and i congradulate you for wiretapping me and getting the text in this room alone which you could of recieved anyway so it was pointless

2008-03-01 17:40 < Messedrocker> a kline isn't a network-wide ban
2008-03-01 17:41 < Thehelpfulone2> Messedrocker: close enough ;)

2008-03-01 17:43 < adam1213> its vandalised once every 10 days thats not that much
2008-03-01 17:43 < bridezilla> How do you have that kind of stats?
2008-03-01 17:43 < adam1213> i looked through the history for reverted
2008-03-01 17:43 < adam1213> its not even that much
2008-03-01 17:43 < The359> Calm down a bit, bridezilla
2008-03-01 17:44 < DannyLilithborne> somebody block [[User:DardGarnd]] please
2008-03-01 17:44 < DannyLilithborne> and delete all his crap
2008-03-01 17:44 < adam1213> but i do agree with bridezilla that it looks like a vandalism prone article jsut it does not have a problem
2008-03-01 17:44 < The359> we only protect when there is an actual problem
2008-03-01 17:44 < The359> not because there "might" be
2008-03-01 17:45 < Chetblong> DannyLilithborne: why?
2008-03-01 17:46 < DannyLilithborne> sock of Danny Daniel
2008-03-01 17:46 * Chetblong agrees with The359
2008-03-01 17:46 < DannyLilithborne> some idiot kid who pops up every so often to make retarded Nickelodeon-related hoaxes
2008-03-01 17:48 < White_Cat> hmm
2008-03-01 17:48 < adam1213> hi White_Cat
2008-03-01 17:48 < White_Cat> do any of you guys know which page is to request username rename on vo.wikipedia.org
2008-03-01 17:50 < Gracenotes> The359: of course, no IPs have made constructive contributions since 21 December last year
2008-03-01 17:50 < Gracenotes> but, not to say they might...
2008-03-01 17:51 * The359 shrug
2008-03-01 17:56 < bridezilla> IPs = Internet Protocols.
2008-03-01 18:00 < The359> duh?
2008-03-01 18:00 < dandin1> Nah, he's just pointlessly trying to convince someone to say the full IP address instead of just 'IP'
2008-03-01 18:01 < noclip> bah
2008-03-01 18:01 < noclip> customer service is dead
2008-03-01 18:02 * Mike_H is a Solid Gold dancer
2008-03-01 18:02 < adam1213> noclip what are you on about
2008-03-01 18:02 < noclip> i was eating at a restraunt and started choking, the server walked up to me right then and asked me, as i was choking, if everything was alright
2008-03-01 18:02 < noclip> while still choking, i nodded yes and waved at him that everything was fine
2008-03-01 18:02 < noclip> he said "alright" and left
2008-03-01 18:03 < dandin1> S'your fault! You lied! :p
2008-03-01 18:03 < Mike_H> Yeah, what the hell.
2008-03-01 18:03 < noclip> the second part is my fault
2008-03-01 18:03 < noclip> but asking someone who's choking a question?
2008-03-01 18:03 < dandin1> They're obviously all highly sophisticated robots, programmed to beleive humans before their video input. ;)
2008-03-01 18:04 < The359> were you choking or just coughing?
2008-03-01 18:04 < noclip> choking, the not breathing probably should have tipped him off
2008-03-01 18:04 < The359> who can tell that when you're seated at a table?
2008-03-01 18:05 < noclip> bleh
2008-03-01 18:06 < dandin1> Ok, sorry for that first comment of mine noclip, seems afterwards everyone was intent on driving this conversation to the ground. :p
2008-03-01 18:06 < noclip> i wish i had given a negative tip
2008-03-01 18:07 < noclip> instead i tipped 30%
2008-03-01 18:07 < dandin1> Quite a lot. The food was good? Or did you just enjoy the experience with the waiter? :p
2008-03-01 18:11 < noclip> i always tip 30%
2008-03-01 18:11 < noclip> they could bring me the wrong food and spit it in and i would tip 30%
2008-03-01 18:11 < noclip> i'm a tool like that
2008-03-01 18:14 < naught101> do the pyAutoWikiBrowser developers hang out in here?
2008-03-01 18:19 < cctoide> noclip: that's nice of you
2008-03-01 18:20 < Chetblong> I tip at least 40%
2008-03-01 18:25 < Thehelpfulone2> naught101: you could try #autowikibrowser
2008-03-01 18:25 < naught101> Thehelpfulone2: indeed you are
2008-03-01 18:26 < Thehelpfulone2> :D
2008-03-01 18:41 < adam1213> .
2008-03-01 18:50 < NotACow> moo

2008-03-01 19:10 < NotACow> Faroframkallande: aw. you're no fun.
2008-03-01 19:10 < NotACow> Faroframkallande: it's a moot point. wikipedia will be dead within a year.
2008-03-01 19:11 < NotACow> Faroframkallande: i should have someone set up a page where people can pledge never to nominate me
2008-03-01 19:12 < Faroframkallande> but seriously, I don't know why everyone's making a big fuss out of Riana nomming you
2008-03-01 19:12 * adam1213 wonders if not a cow is not the nsa
2008-03-01 19:14 < Lrdwhyt> I never realized userboxes were so awesome
2008-03-01 19:15 < NotACow> Faroframkallande: because either (a) they hate me or (b) they enjoy drama.
2008-03-01 19:15 < NotACow> Faroframkallande: or (c) all of the above
2008-03-01 19:15 * Scarian yawns.
2008-03-01 19:15 < adam1213> Lrdwhyt userboxes are the best
2008-03-01 19:16 < Faroframkallande> NotACow: personally, I would've supported you
2008-03-01 19:16 < Faroframkallande> because you have Common Sense (TM)
2008-03-01 19:17 < Werdna> mmmm bitterness
2008-03-01 19:17 < Werdna> :)
2008-03-01 19:19 < The359> lol
2008-03-01 19:19 < The359> Microsoft's HD-DVD player for the XBox 360 has already dropped to 1/4th of its original retail price
2008-03-01 19:20 < The359> in less than a year and a half
2008-03-01 19:20 < Soms> It should be sold at cost.
2008-03-01 19:20 < The359> they're $50 now
2008-03-01 19:20 < The359> started at $200

2008-03-01 19:31 < Mike_H> The ugly one!
2008-03-01 19:31 < Faroframkallande> Mike_H: are you first basing it with that piece of loose leaf?
2008-03-01 19:31 < Daniel_Bush> No, no
2008-03-01 19:31 < Daniel_Bush> Shorter than that
2008-03-01 19:32 < Mike_H> Faroframkallande: We would have invited you
2008-03-01 19:32 < Mike_H> but we forgot.
2008-03-01 19:32 < Daniel_Bush> The one that says things like, "My shoelaces sing a song of sorrow. Pshoooo."
2008-03-01 19:32 < Faroframkallande> A BY/GRL PRTY?

2008-03-01 19:36 < Messedrocker> hey bogdan
2008-03-01 19:36 < bogdan2005> I want a second opinion on something: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Bus_routes_in_Bucharest -- should I AfD these?
2008-03-01 19:36 < Messedrocker> bogdan2005: giusca?
2008-03-01 19:36 < bogdan2005> they are urban bus routes.
2008-03-01 19:36 < bogdan2005> Messedrocker: yup.
2008-03-01 19:36 < Messedrocker> hiya bogdan
2008-03-01 19:36 < bogdan2005> hey, Messedrocker! :-)
2008-03-01 19:37 < bogdan2005> urban bus routes = they change all the time, have no history. Am I right to try to delete them?
2008-03-01 19:38 < Messedrocker> they have current relevance, though, don't they?
2008-03-01 19:38 < bogdan2005> well, each of the articles has a picture of a bus and a list of stops
2008-03-01 19:43 * White_Cat licks bogdan2005

2008-03-01 19:44 * White_Cat <- cat version of pikachu
2008-03-01 19:44 < White_Cat> bogdan2005 well
2008-03-01 19:44 < White_Cat> arbcom isnt even considering to look at the evidence I provided
2008-03-01 19:44 < White_Cat> It makes me very sad, frsutrated
2008-03-01 19:45 < White_Cat> and depressed
2008-03-01 19:45 < White_Cat> I almost want to go into the street and scream
2008-03-01 19:45 < bogdan2005> I never needed to go to the arbcom.
2008-03-01 19:45 < NotACow> arbcom is full of bees.
2008-03-01 19:45 < White_Cat> bogdan2005 an idiot did not stalk you for 3 years either
2008-03-01 19:45 < bogdan2005> and I had >33,000 edits :P
2008-03-01 19:45 < NotACow> White_Cat: why did you stalk yourself, anyway?

2008-03-01 19:47 < NotACow> bogdan2005: he probably brought a problem from outside wikipedia into wikipedia, which is grounds for permanent banning
2008-03-01 19:47 < bogdan2005> NotACow: haha :D
2008-03-01 19:47 < NotACow> bogdan2005: i should never have saved him from being banned.
2008-03-01 19:47 < NotACow> bogdan2005: i only did it to protect the mediation cabal
