2008-03-01 23:28 < wryyyyyyyyyy> SportsMaster: am I missing one?
2008-03-01 23:29 < Rinn> Ground ivy?
2008-03-01 23:29 < SportsMaster> yes Milwaukee vs. Green Bay 2-0
2008-03-01 23:29 < Rinn> Or maybe grovy, as in like a grove?
2008-03-01 23:29 < SportsMaster> Milwaukee two wins against green bay
2008-03-01 23:29 < Daniel_Bush_> Gravity.
2008-03-01 23:29 < wryyyyyyyyyy> #_DATA_TEAM GB
2008-03-01 23:29 < wryyyyyyyyyy> #_DATA_VS Milwaukee
2008-03-01 23:29 < wryyyyyyyyyy> #_DATA_RESULT 0-2
2008-03-01 23:29 < ggreer> arcimboldo_: the last time I took an IQ test was the 4th grade
2008-03-01 23:29 < SportsMaster> thats it
2008-03-01 23:29 < wryyyyyyyyyy> it is there
2008-03-01 23:29 < ggreer> my score doesn't matter. the fact that the test is BS does
2008-03-01 23:30 < wryyyyyyyyyy> should I make it Milwaukee vs GB?
2008-03-01 23:30 < ggreer> (my IQ was measured at 168 using the 16 point SD scale, and I'm definitely not that smart)
2008-03-01 23:31 < SportsMaster> It dosn't matter what order. Milwaukee won both meetings with green bay is what it means whatever order gb and milwaukee are entered it is either 2-0 or 0-2
2008-03-01 23:31 < Daniel_Bush_> Oh, they're going with the "the media is biased toward Obama" theme again
2008-03-01 23:31 < Daniel_Bush_> They're doing the same thing two weeks in a row
2008-03-01 23:31 < wryyyyyyyyyy> did it all come through?
2008-03-01 23:31 < ggreer> heh
2008-03-01 23:31 < wryyyyyyyyyy> or should i post line by line?
2008-03-01 23:32 < NotACow> Daniel_Bush_: clinton is fun to watch
2008-03-01 23:32 < Daniel_Bush_> Before the strike, the joke was that they were biased toward Clinton
2008-03-01 23:32 < ggreer> NotACow: would you please tell me what rss reader you use? I'm a dev for one
2008-03-01 23:32 < SportsMaster> You see that is the head to head machups of the 4 teams I gave you.. with the number of wins each one had against the other noted as either 2-0 1-1 or 0-2
2008-03-01 23:32 < wryyyyyyyyyy> that's what i figured
2008-03-01 23:33 < wryyyyyyyyyy> i will post line by line
2008-03-01 23:33 < wryyyyyyyyyy> i think some got cut off and i got a temp ban for posting too many lines
2008-03-01 23:33 < wryyyyyyyyyy> pls hold
2008-03-01 23:33 < ggreer> does NotACow have me on ignore or something? could someone else ask?

2008-03-01 23:39 < Lubaf> Unless it's a concession speech, I'm not interested in anything Clinton has to say.
2008-03-01 23:39 < ggreer> anyway, I'm a developer at bloglines, and if you have any complaints just tell me
2008-03-01 23:39 < SportsMaster> Wait what lol..
2008-03-01 23:39 < NotACow> ggreer: not of late.
2008-03-01 23:39 < ggreer> do you use classic or beta?
2008-03-01 23:39 < NotACow> ggreer: a while ago all my subscrptions disappeared, but flushing my browser cache fixed it
2008-03-01 23:39 < NotACow> ggreer: i have no idea :)
2008-03-01 23:40 < ggreer> NotACow: if you used beta you'd know. you have to go to beta.bloglines.com
2008-03-01 23:40 < wryyyyyyyyyy> [[pastebin]] I don't know what happened
2008-03-01 23:40 < NotACow> ggreer: then i don't :)
2008-03-01 23:40 < wryyyyyyyyyy> [[pastebin]] it has never done that before
2008-03-01 23:40 < SportsMaster> Oh
2008-03-01 23:40 < ggreer> www.bloglines.com is classic. we haven't done much besides bug fixes for it in the past 18 months
2008-03-01 23:40 < Daniel_Bush_> Just Clinton saying SNL's parody of Tuesday night's debate was a "reenactment" and during the parody they did things like ask Obama if they were moderating all right, and Obama saying, "That's all right; you're just doing your job"
2008-03-01 23:41 < Daniel_Bush_> Every time she opens her mouth I like her less
2008-03-01 23:41 < ggreer> although embedded flash videos will start showing up in classic once QA signs off on the release candidate
2008-03-01 23:41 < wryyyyyyyyyy> [[pastebin]] i will get my students to fix the code, i guess
2008-03-01 23:41 < wryyyyyyyyyy> [[pastebin]] how embarrassing
2008-03-01 23:41 < ggreer> NotACow: I heard about that subs bug. I think if the userdb goes down it messes up your feed tree until you log out/log back in
2008-03-01 23:41 < ggreer> or clear your cache
2008-03-01 23:42 < wryyyyyyyyyy> [[pastebin]] can i post this on my students site?
2008-03-01 23:42 < wryyyyyyyyyy> [[pastebin]] so they can see the error?
2008-03-01 23:43 < wryyyyyyyyyy> [[pastebin]] i will change the names, obviously, for anonymity
2008-03-01 23:43 < NotACow> ggreer: i wrote to customer support about it but they never wrote back.
2008-03-01 23:44 * brown_cat as a burning sensation to punch wryyyyyyyyyy
2008-03-01 23:44 < NotACow> ggreer: i wasn't happy about that, but i was abl eto resolve it on my own
2008-03-01 23:44 < SportsMaster> Go for it
2008-03-01 23:44 < wryyyyyyyyyy> [[pastebin]] for example, i will change brown_cat to laughing_at_rob_levin
2008-03-01 23:44 < ggreer> heh, ask.com has like one customer support guy for everything
2008-03-01 23:44 < ggreer> he's so swamped
2008-03-01 23:44 < brown_cat> thank you :)
2008-03-01 23:44 < Pilotguy> !lol
2008-03-01 23:45 * brown_cat gives Krimpet a big cookie
2008-03-01 23:45 < ggreer> NotACow: the quickest way to get something fixed is to join #bloglines and bitch at us
2008-03-01 23:45 < ggreer> by us I mean all the developers
2008-03-01 23:45 < Pilotguy> So who'd Jimbo knock up?
2008-03-01 23:45 < ggreer> because we're the only people who ever go in that channel
2008-03-01 23:46 < NotACow> ggreer: heh
2008-03-01 23:47 < MooingLemur> moo.
2008-03-01 23:47 < MooingLemur> denelson83: I guess I asked for that.
2008-03-01 23:48 < MooingLemur> but it's got a butthead
2008-03-01 23:52 < gwern> do you suppose the ask.com tech support guys get bitched at for WP vandalism?
2008-03-01 23:56 < Soms> No, because there are no ask.com tech support guys.
2008-03-01 23:56 < ggreer> there is one customer support guy
2008-03-01 23:56 < ggreer> ask.com is smaller than most people think
2008-03-01 23:56 < ggreer> maybe 200 engineers, 450 employees total
2008-03-01 23:57 < gwern> ...actually, that's about 4 times the size I figured it'd be
2008-03-01 23:57 < NotACow> moo!
2008-03-01 23:57 < ggreer> really? I mean google has 16,000 employees and they've got like 60% of the search market
2008-03-01 23:58 < ggreer> and microsoft has like 5,000 people working on search
2008-03-01 23:58 < ggreer> and failing miserably at it
2008-03-01 23:59 < Ceiling_Cat> ok, I have an interesting question'
2008-03-01 23:59 < ggreer> what's really crazy is that bloglines crawls sites faster than any other project I know about besides google's web crawlers
2008-03-01 23:59 < Ceiling_Cat> I have an electronic copy of the 2008 ACF Regionals (a quiz bowl packet set). They are microsoft word documents. All of the answers are in bold.
2008-03-02 00:00 * brown_cat jumps on Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-02 00:00 < Ceiling_Cat> I want to extract all of the answers, and generate a wiki-markup list of them
2008-03-02 00:00 < Ceiling_Cat> to see which ones do not exist
2008-03-02 00:00 < ggreer> Ceiling_Cat: is there anything else that denotes answers?
2008-03-02 00:00 < ggreer> such as an "A:" at the start of the line or something?
2008-03-02 00:00 < Ceiling_Cat> Ggreer: here is the typical formatting for a tossup:
2008-03-02 00:00 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: good luck making sense of the Microsoft Office interop library
2008-03-02 00:00 < Ceiling_Cat> 5. In one work by this man, a spendthrift and liar left penniless after her father’s death, Lizzie, is wed by Sir Florian. Another work by this author treats the owners of a titular estate, Lady and Lucius Mason. In addition to The Eustace Diamonds and Orley Farm, this author wrote about Charlotte Stanhope and Dr. Grantly, the archdeacon of the titular
2008-03-02 00:00 < Ceiling_Cat> location, as well as Obadiah Slope, the chaplain, Mrs. and Bishop Proudie, Septimus Hardy, and Lady Glencora. For 10 points, identify this author of a series of novels taking place in Barsetshire county, Barchester Towers, a prolific nineteenth-century British novelist.
2008-03-02 00:00 < Ceiling_Cat> ANSWER: Anthony Trollope
2008-03-02 00:01 < ggreer> heh, well that's pretty easy
2008-03-02 00:01 < Ceiling_Cat> The world "Trollope" is bolded, indicating it is the necessary part of the answer
2008-03-02 00:01 < gwern> Ceiling_Cat: oh, fun.... my advice, either investigate keyboard macros and hope you can exploit formatting, or go spelinking through the ASCII representation and filter based on whatever string delimits bold
2008-03-02 00:01 < ggreer> oh
2008-03-02 00:01 < Krimpet> Ceiling_Cat: it could probably be done programmatically, you'd just need the libraries to parse the .doc format
2008-03-02 00:01 < NotACow> Krimpet: it's even easier than that.
2008-03-02 00:01 < NotACow> Krimpet: provided you want to figure out how to use the interop libraries
2008-03-02 00:01 < ggreer> I'd just save it as text and screw the necessary answer part
2008-03-02 00:02 < NotACow> Krimpet: ms office has a nearly complete DCOM API
2008-03-02 00:02 < Ceiling_Cat> So far, the best I can come up with is to save them in rtf or some other ascii format
2008-03-02 00:02 < Krimpet> NotACow: ah, I see where you're coming from
2008-03-02 00:02 < NotACow> Krimpet: it's just a PITA to use
2008-03-02 00:02 < Ceiling_Cat> and use a python script
2008-03-02 00:02 < Ceiling_Cat> any better ideas?
2008-03-02 00:02 < NotACow> Krimpet: i've used it a few times for excel
2008-03-02 00:02 < Krimpet> Ceiling_Cat: that'd probaby be the most painless way
2008-03-02 00:02 < Krimpet> er, probably
2008-03-02 00:03 < gwern> Ceiling_Cat: actually, saving to html might not be a bad idea - it wouldn't be so hard to grep for <bold> or whatever, and then a quick regexp search and replace or keyboard macro could trim off the trailing brackets
2008-03-02 00:03 < Ceiling_Cat> Anyone wanna do it for me? ;)
2008-03-02 00:03 < ggreer> if only word's html saving feature actually saved sane html
2008-03-02 00:03 < NotACow> ggreer: heh, really
2008-03-02 00:03 < NotACow> that's the world's second ugliest HTML
2008-03-02 00:03 < gwern> ggreer: I've heard it's bad, but surely bolding is handled correctly?
2008-03-02 00:03 < ggreer> frontpage is the worst
2008-03-02 00:03 < NotACow> ggreer: exactly so
2008-03-02 00:03 < Ceiling_Cat> economic activities, and an example of this theory in practice is the fact that stock prices depend in part on what prospective buyers and sellers believe the price will be in the future. First proposed by John Muth, for 10 points, name this economic assumption which requires accounting for market actors' knowledge of policy when attempting to influence the economy. </P>
2008-03-02 00:03 < Ceiling_Cat> <P>ANSWER: <B><U>rational expectations</B></U> theory</P>
2008-03-02 00:04 * brown_cat thinks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:JimmyWalesJI3.jpg should have a caption under it saying "I want your kids"
2008-03-02 00:04 < Ceiling_Cat> That's what the HTML looks like
2008-03-02 00:04 < ggreer> Ceiling_Cat: you fucking serious?
2008-03-02 00:04 < ggreer> why did they do that with the unbalanced tags?
2008-03-02 00:04 < Ceiling_Cat> I am exerpting -
2008-03-02 00:04 < Ceiling_Cat> It's entirely possible that I cut off a tag
2008-03-02 00:04 < Ceiling_Cat> (in fact, I did)
2008-03-02 00:05 < NotACow> there are worse things to cut off than a tag.
2008-03-02 00:05 < ggreer> no, I mean the <b><u></b></u>
2008-03-02 00:05 < Ceiling_Cat> oh
2008-03-02 00:05 * Ceiling_Cat shrugs
2008-03-02 00:05 < ggreer> I don't even think that's valid
2008-03-02 00:05 < The359> yeah, have to be in reverse order
2008-03-02 00:05 < NotACow> ggreer: it's not valid, but virtually every HTML engine will handle it in the expected manner
2008-03-02 00:05 < Krimpet> valid html, but not xhtml
2008-03-02 00:05 < Ceiling_Cat> anyway, someone wanna play around with this?
2008-03-02 00:06 < ggreer> Krimpet: the html spec allows that? I'm so glad I only have to write stuff to parse rss and atom
2008-03-02 00:06 < gwern> Ceiling_Cat: go teach your grandmother to whitewash egg fences!
2008-03-02 00:06 < ggreer> rss sucks though
2008-03-02 00:06 < gwern> er. if you follow my humpty-dumpty metaphors...
2008-03-02 00:06 * Ceiling_Cat sighs
2008-03-02 00:06 < Krimpet> ggreer: I believe it does, at least one of the older versions -_-
2008-03-02 00:06 * brown_cat pushes humpty dumpty
2008-03-02 00:06 < Ceiling_Cat> (Yet another reason to get the 'I'm only one man' page in place)
2008-03-02 00:07 < ggreer> the great thing about atom is that the spec is super-strict, so you can quickly and reliably parse it and strip out anything dangerous
2008-03-02 00:07 < gwern> ladies, please! I'M ONLY ONE MAN
2008-03-02 00:09 < Krimpet> oh, wait, it's not :) I tried pumping it through the HTML validator
2008-03-02 00:09 < ggreer> hah
2008-03-02 00:09 < Ceiling_Cat> Gwern - no, the problem is that I am very good at seeing ways to improve wikipedia (putting FAs on the main page, the free full length audio, the photo submissions by email, the half-dozen feature requests I've filed, the signpost dispatches) but I really can't do them all by myself
2008-03-02 00:09 < Krimpet> thank gawd
2008-03-02 00:10 < Ceiling_Cat> Some of the more tedious issues have been solved (Commonist is a life-saver compared to the upload script I wrote for myself) but many others remain
2008-03-02 00:10 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: i've had countless ideas that i don't have time or energy to implement.
2008-03-02 00:11 < Ceiling_Cat> NotACow - I do implement my ideas, and they work - well.
2008-03-02 00:11 < gwern> Ceiling_Cat: you could take an eventualist approach. write them all down in a subpage, take a year or two off to recharge your batteries, and then come back
2008-03-02 00:11 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: i'm glad you have the time to do so
2008-03-02 00:12 < Ceiling_Cat> nevertheless, the point remains - how to get the community more involved in the non-editorial ways to contribute
2008-03-02 00:12 < Ceiling_Cat> which is to say, things like extracting quiz bowl archives to produce article lists
2008-03-02 00:13 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: I'm not sure that's possible. If you look at most open source projects, programming is always restricted to a rather small group.
2008-03-02 00:14 < Ceiling_Cat> It's not just limited to programming. Consider the weekly signpost dispatches article
2008-03-02 00:15 < Ceiling_Cat> when it comes to the FA process, it seems like every new FA related job (which we generally try to kill in the proposal stage unless it seems particularly promising) falls onto one of the same small group of people
2008-03-02 00:15 < Ceiling_Cat> How do we widen that group?
2008-03-02 00:16 < ggreer> that's a people problem
2008-03-02 00:16 < ggreer> you can't solve it with software
2008-03-02 00:17 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: wikipedia's culture is rather toxic, and that means the number of people who are willing to do thankless chores is very low.
2008-03-02 00:17 < ggreer> no policy will get people genuinely interested in making featured articles
2008-03-02 00:17 < ggreer> it takes a change in culture
2008-03-02 00:17 < gwern> people problems can always be solved with software; and software problems can always be solved by people. it's the exchange rate and availability that's the killer
2008-03-02 00:18 < ggreer> the exchange rate is like 100:1
2008-03-02 00:18 < gwern> which is why it's always better to find a software solution; in this case, I'd suggest nagware
2008-03-02 00:18 < ggreer> hah
2008-03-02 00:18 < Ceiling_Cat> NotACow - I think different parts of wikipedia have varying levels of toxicity
2008-03-02 00:18 < Lubaf> Whom art thou / whom whom / whom whom / Whom art thou / Whom whom / Whom whom...
2008-03-02 00:19 < Ceiling_Cat> The best run parts tend to be the least toxic, IMO
2008-03-02 00:19 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: what ggreer said. you need to fix the culture. good luck with that; i haven't seen any way to do that.
2008-03-02 00:19 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: mmm.
2008-03-02 00:19 < Ceiling_Cat> on the other end of the spectrum, those places with little or no leadership tend to be nasty - AFD and RFA (post Cecropia) spring to mind
2008-03-02 00:19 * NotACow has yet to see evidence of "well-run parts" of wikipedia
2008-03-02 00:20 < Lubaf> NotACow: AN/I archiving bots.
2008-03-02 00:21 < NotACow> Lubaf: ok, i suppose so.
2008-03-02 00:21 < Ceiling_Cat> NotACow - Some of the wikiprojects (Milhist, medicine, india) are well run. The old collaboration of the week was a nice bit of culture (it inspired fraternity and a sense of shared interests)
2008-03-02 00:21 < Ceiling_Cat> the FA process, if I don't say so myself
2008-03-02 00:21 < NotACow> Lubaf: the parts of wikipedia that can be completely and uncontroversially automated :)
2008-03-02 00:21 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: collaboration of the week never worked, or at least not in recent memory.
2008-03-02 00:21 < gwern> unautomated parts of wikipedia which could be are just accidental complexity
2008-03-02 00:22 < Ceiling_Cat> NotACow - it did back in the day when the articles selected were of general-enough interest to attract a substantial number of participants
2008-03-02 00:22 * NotACow would question how well the FA process works
2008-03-02 00:22 < NotACow> since it is mainly about personalities
2008-03-02 00:22 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: and when there were people interested in participating
2008-03-02 00:22 < gwern> I'd say it doesn't work so well. too many sockmasters are getting through
2008-03-02 00:22 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: back when wikipedia was small and not overrun by status seekers, trolls, children, and bias-pushers
2008-03-02 00:23 < Ceiling_Cat> FA is not about personalities at all. In fact, the rules are rather explicit about what may or may not be the basis for an objection
2008-03-02 00:24 < Ceiling_Cat> and the fact that the big incentive (having your article on the main page) is rather open to all authors/editors and most any topic
2008-03-02 00:25 < NotACow> it's not about the personalities of the authors, just the sycophantic crowd that hang about FA making sure that only people they like get articles through
2008-03-02 00:25 < NotACow> the standards are sufficiently subjective that anybody can create an actionable objection to any article
2008-03-02 00:26 < NotACow> so if you want your article to go through you have to suck the metaphorical cocks of all the little guardians of virtue
2008-03-02 00:26 < Ceiling_Cat> Is that were the case, then why are (by far) the majority of the comments on the FAC objections rather than supports? Is they were syncophants, then it would stand to reason that most of them would be supports
2008-03-02 00:26 < Ceiling_Cat> If that*
2008-03-02 00:27 < NotACow> your logic is in abeyance.
2008-03-02 00:27 < NotACow> objections indicate someone whose cock has not been adequately sucked.
2008-03-02 00:27 < Ceiling_Cat> that does not sound like the behavior of a syncophant
2008-03-02 00:28 < NotACow> it depends on who the sycophant is sucking up to. it's not the FA author, i assure you that,
2008-03-02 00:28 < NotACow> they suck up to one another and to the self-appointed dictator of the process
2008-03-02 00:29 < NotACow> the environment of FAC is not nearly as toxic as that around AFD or RFA, but it is by no means "good"
2008-03-02 00:29 < Ceiling_Cat> except it's not a popularity contest - objections must be grounded in the content of an article
2008-03-02 00:29 < Ceiling_Cat> and, more precisely, how a given article does not comply with the criteria
2008-03-02 00:30 < Daniel_Bush_> How does Ceiling Cat type with boxing gloves on
2008-03-02 00:31 * Krimpet baleets Daniel_Bush_
2008-03-02 00:31 < Soms> Large keys Daniel_Bush_.
2008-03-02 00:31 < Ceiling_Cat> ok, well since no one else wants to do it, I might as well hash out this script myself
2008-03-02 00:32 < gwern> Daniel_Bush_: he selects from the convulsive typing of a million masturbators those which can be melded into a stream which meets his desires
2008-03-02 00:33 < NotACow> hehe
2008-03-02 00:33 < NotACow> CHOOGA CHOOGA
2008-03-02 00:34 < Daniel_Bush_> As with the Horde and the Alliance in World of Warcraft, neither deletionists nor inclusionists are pure good or evil,
2008-03-02 00:35 < Daniel_Bush_> but the deletionists are the ones that say, "Zug zug. Loktar!" before battle
2008-03-02 00:35 < cimon> Ceiling_Cat, What is your opinion on the folks who want to redirect Bulbasaur to the list of Pokemons?
2008-03-02 00:35 < gwern> Daniel_Bush_: who says Zug Zug. Loktar! in World of Warcraft?
2008-03-02 00:35 < gwern> and where do immediatists and eventualists fit in?
2008-03-02 00:36 < Daniel_Bush_> "Loktar" is the Orcish word for "victory" and is a battle cry
2008-03-02 00:36 < gwern> and Zug?
2008-03-02 00:36 < NotACow> denelson83: everyone is evil
2008-03-02 00:36 < NotACow> er, Daniel_Bush_
2008-03-02 00:36 < Daniel_Bush_> "Zug-zug." = Acknowledgment and agreement; roughly the equivalent of "okay".
2008-03-02 00:36 < NotACow> Daniel_Bush_: that sounds like simlish
2008-03-02 00:37 < Daniel_Bush_> You can hear an Orc NPC saying "zug zug" when it runs from you and uses AI to signal that it needs help and gathers everyone in its tribe to attack you
2008-03-02 00:37 < gwern> 'Okay Okay. Victory!' <-- what an apathetic battle cry
2008-03-02 00:38 < cimon> Daniel_Bush_, Loc Nar on the other hand is a mysterious green orb in the animated film Heavy Metal
2008-03-02 00:39 < Daniel_Bush_> A second battle cry, "Gol'kosh!" means "By my axe!"
2008-03-02 00:40 < nokmar> here be nerds
2008-03-02 00:40 < NotACow> i'm quite impressed at the degree of nerdosity here
2008-03-02 00:40 < quanticle> NotACow, well, what did you expect?
2008-03-02 00:41 < Daniel_Bush_> Blizzard just created 30 words that they thought Orcish should sound like and then used an in-game translator to make English sound like Orcish to Alliance players
2008-03-02 00:41 < gwern> outside of #wikipedia, I sometimes feel lonely
2008-03-02 00:42 < quanticle> gwern, #defocus isn't bad
2008-03-02 00:42 < gwern> 'oh, is there a word in Klingon for loneliness? ...Ah yes. GARRDAK!'
2008-03-02 00:42 < Daniel_Bush_> I don't know why humans in World of Warcraft are so repulsed by the undead
2008-03-02 00:42 < gwern> quanticle: I need all the focus I need
2008-03-02 00:42 * Krimpet looks back at the WoW period of her life feeling embarrassed -_-
2008-03-02 00:42 < denelson83> wikidead
2008-03-02 00:43 < Daniel_Bush_> Orcs are kind of like Klingons
2008-03-02 00:43 < Daniel_Bush_> and blood elves are slightly like Romulans
2008-03-02 00:43 < Krimpet> my night elf priest had to use the /slap command quite a bit.
2008-03-02 00:48 < quanticle> Krimpet: Was it a female night-elf priest?
2008-03-02 00:48 < Soms> Was it named Krimpet?
2008-03-02 00:49 < Krimpet> quanticle: well, yes, you don't hear of too many women playing male characters online. :p
2008-03-02 00:49 < Krimpet> Soms: yep
2008-03-02 00:49 < Krimpet> plenty of the opposite, though
2008-03-02 00:49 < Soms> oh, you kill stealer!
2008-03-02 00:49 * Soms cackles
2008-03-02 00:49 * brown_cat looks for some coffee
2008-03-02 00:50 < brown_cat> O_o
2008-03-02 00:50 * brown_cat runs to Soms
2008-03-02 00:50 < cimon> Daniel_Bush_, and hobbits are like ferengi?
2008-03-02 00:50 * Soms hides brown_cat
2008-03-02 00:50 * brown_cat asks for his hillary clinton signature
2008-03-02 00:50 < Krimpet> http://www.wowarmory.com/character-talents.xml?r=Eredar&n=Krimpet <- oh, hey, it still exists
2008-03-02 00:51 < Soms> Krimpet used to KS me all the time =\
2008-03-02 00:51 < Daniel_Bush_> Hillary Clinton is only a tad left of the Joe Lieberman wing of the Democratic Party
2008-03-02 00:52 < [z103]WB> surveilence vid of the mall bombings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt4_iaZj-pY
2008-03-02 00:54 < cimon> My take on Hillary Clinton is that she probably would make a better president than she is a candidate. But that is not saying much.
2008-03-02 00:55 < The359> What exactly was the point of that, [z103]WB?
2008-03-02 00:55 < ggreer> http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/01/ricin.hotel/
2008-03-02 00:55 < ggreer> I always keep my mutated anthrax, you know for duck hunting
2008-03-02 00:56 < ggreer> that's from some futurama episode
2008-03-02 00:56 < cimon> the president Hillary reminds me most of, funnily enough is Bush the elder... with a foot in mouth problem
2008-03-02 00:56 < The359> is [z103]WB just spamming or what?
2008-03-02 00:56 < [z103]WB> lolwut
2008-03-02 00:56 < ggreer> I wouldn't vote for hillary even if she was a good candidate
2008-03-02 00:56 < The359> what was the point of that link, [z103]WB?
2008-03-02 00:57 < ggreer> I simply cannot condone a quarter century of bushes and clintons
2008-03-02 00:57 < [z103]WB> Go back to OSA The359.
2008-03-02 00:57 < cimon> ggreer: from a european perspective, you are in any case going to end up with a president who isn't a monster... those have all been removed from the equation now.
2008-03-02 00:58 < The359> What, [z103]WB?
2008-03-02 00:58 < ggreer> is this [z103]WB guy a spammer or something? what's the point of his link?
2008-03-02 00:58 < cimon> ggreer, well, we had 25 years of a single president here in finland, so I kindof sympathize, quite deeply...
2008-03-02 00:58 < [z103]WB> I am not a spammer.
2008-03-02 00:58 < [z103]WB> I have not spammed.
2008-03-02 00:58 < [z103]WB> Spamming would involve multiple lines of unwarranted crap, while I only sent one.
2008-03-02 00:58 < The359> You have answered the question of what the point was of that link
2008-03-02 00:58 < The359> haven't
2008-03-02 00:59 < The359> and why you claimed it was something else, for that matter
2008-03-02 00:59 < AppleBoy> holy shit I have the coolest camera ever
2008-03-02 00:59 < [z103]WB> The point was, my good sir, to get a chuckle out of you, because you are an uptight internet citizen who takes the net too seriously.
2008-03-02 01:00 < The359> Where's the funny?
2008-03-02 01:00 < The359> I mean shit, you didn't even rickroll
2008-03-02 01:00 < The359> All you linked to was a stupid song and a static image
2008-03-02 01:00 < [z103]WB> Oh yes, the Rickroll.
2008-03-02 01:01 < [z103]WB> What began as a simple injoke and spread around the internet to retards like yourself.
2008-03-02 01:01 < Soms> Ok both of you take it to pm.
2008-03-02 01:01 < Soms> None of this crap here.
2008-03-02 01:01 < The359> And you're funnier because you did the same thing, just with a different video....?
2008-03-02 01:01 < The359> :(
2008-03-02 01:02 < Krimpet> we're no strangers to love. you know the rules, and so do I.
2008-03-02 01:02 < ggreer> thank you
2008-03-02 01:02 < DannyLilithborne> peace
2008-03-02 01:02 < The359> That works

2008-03-02 01:03 < Soms> feel free to pm me
2008-03-02 01:06 < AppleBoy> ok, in pitch black I can see with this camera as if it were daylight out
2008-03-02 01:06 < AppleBoy> it's fucking awesome
2008-03-02 01:07 < quanticle> Wait. Why did The359 get banned?
2008-03-02 01:07 < Werdna> read up
2008-03-02 01:07 < Werdna> silly

2008-03-02 01:09 < Werdna> pie
2008-03-02 01:09 < Werdna> everybody wants pie
2008-03-02 01:09 < The359> bitch
2008-03-02 01:09 < The359> give me
2008-03-02 01:09 < Ceiling_Cat> I got the script working
2008-03-02 01:09 < Soms> now play nice
2008-03-02 01:09 < [z103]WB> Oh hai guize
2008-03-02 01:09 < Soms> both of you
2008-03-02 01:18 < Daniel_Bush> They shouldn't have removed "The snack that smiles back before you bite their heads off" from the goldfish crackers jingle.
2008-03-02 01:21 < quanticle> Well they still use "The snack that smiles back"
2008-03-02 01:23 < Daniel_Bush> I'm sure that Candy Jesus Bars will be happy to utilize the latter part once their trademark expires from neglect
2008-03-02 01:23 < Daniel_Bush> Sacrilicious.
2008-03-02 01:24 < Ceiling_Cat> IT'S RUNNING!
2008-03-02 01:24 < Ceiling_Cat> GO GO GO
2008-03-02 01:25 < quanticle> What's running?
2008-03-02 01:25 < Ceiling_Cat> my ACF script
2008-03-02 01:25 < quanticle> Nice.
2008-03-02 01:25 < Ceiling_Cat> I have an electronic version of the 2008 ACF regionals
2008-03-02 01:25 < Ceiling_Cat> I wrote a script to parse it and extract all answers, and see which of those do not have wikipedia articles
2008-03-02 01:25 < Ceiling_Cat> I will then paste this list onto wikipedia, and tell people to write them
2008-03-02 01:26 < Ceiling_Cat> so far: 0 non-articles
2008-03-02 01:27 < The359> tell people to write them
2008-03-02 01:27 < The359> ?
2008-03-02 01:27 < The359> You slavedriver
2008-03-02 01:27 < Ceiling_Cat> :P
2008-03-02 01:30 < NotACow> screwdriver

2008-03-02 01:32 < Soms> Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-02 01:32 < Daniel_Bush> Ceiling_Cat has the least professional username, even less so than NotACow
2008-03-02 01:32 < Soms> can I borrow you for a sec?
2008-03-02 01:33 < Ceiling_Cat> Daniel_Bushl - you're point?
2008-03-02 01:33 < Ceiling_Cat> soms - if it's short, yes
2008-03-02 01:33 < The359> We're professionals?
2008-03-02 01:34 < Soms> I for one actually like a little humor in IRC every one and a while, Ceiling_Cat satisfies that.
2008-03-02 01:37 < Geoff_Plourde> What is the most bizarre thing anyone has seen on WP?
2008-03-02 01:37 < Messedrocker> a rational thinker
2008-03-02 01:38 < Geoff_Plourde> scary
2008-03-02 01:38 < Geoff_Plourde> thats speaks worlds for policy then?
2008-03-02 01:39 < Krimpet> Geoff_Plourde: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Feuerreiben.gif by far. :)
2008-03-02 01:39 < Geoff_Plourde> k
2008-03-02 01:39 < Krimpet> the nude men making a fire in animated gif form... it's almost hypnotizing
2008-03-02 01:40 < Soms> Geoff_Plourde: An edit to [[God]] replacing him with Ronald McDonald was quite funny.
2008-03-02 01:40 < Geoff_Plourde> is ronald mcdonald god?
2008-03-02 01:40 < Daniel_Bush> Has Pedobear infected Wikipedia yet
2008-03-02 01:41 < Geoff_Plourde> i don't think so?
2008-03-02 01:41 < Geoff_Plourde> what is that?
2008-03-02 01:41 < Starnestommy> 4chan or 7chan meme
2008-03-02 01:41 < Starnestommy> not relevent to Wikipedia's interests
2008-03-02 01:41 < Geoff_Plourde> ahh
2008-03-02 01:41 < Daniel_Bush> A 4Chan meme of a pedophile dressed up in a bear costume, presumably at a children's theme park
2008-03-02 01:42 < Geoff_Plourde> oh
2008-03-02 01:42 < Geoff_Plourde> does that qualify for OFFICE?
2008-03-02 01:42 < Daniel_Bush> What's that
2008-03-02 01:43 < Daniel_Bush> No, I mean, when something comes up like a Hello Kitty MMORPG, they say it's Pedobear approved
2008-03-02 01:43 < Daniel_Bush> and then post an ASCII image of Pedobear giving a thumbs up
2008-03-02 01:44 < White_Cat> I am annoyed
2008-03-02 01:44 < White_Cat> someone dennoy me now
2008-03-02 01:44 < Geoff_Plourde> ahh

2008-03-02 01:44 < simsim> hi all
2008-03-02 01:45 < Ceiling_Cat> Hello
2008-03-02 01:45 < simsim> is there a public archive of this room chat logs?
2008-03-02 01:45 < Soms> no
2008-03-02 01:45 < Soms> read the topic
2008-03-02 01:46 < Daniel_Bush> http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/d/d5/Pedobear.png Pedobear.
2008-03-02 01:46 < simsim> lol..
2008-03-02 01:47 < simsim> my intention was good, though :)
2008-03-02 01:50 < Daniel_Bush> Captain Kirk is a hypocrite. He holds severe disdain and contempt for a fellow Starfleet Captain that was forced to live among the native primitive peaceful village people, while defending against thousands of literally insane savages satiated only by bloodshed and death. They expect him not to use his phaser to defend himself, as it interferes with their cultural evolution. Yet Captain...
2008-03-02 01:50 < Daniel_Bush> ...Kirk, as a surveyor in his youth bunking in a cave with a tribe, shared that he was "from the points of light in the sky" with someone because the tribe made them "brothers." Those are some screwed up ethics.
2008-03-02 01:51 < Geoff_Plourde> lol
2008-03-02 01:58 < Geoff_Plourde> how many star trek fanatics do we have in wp?
2008-03-02 01:58 < NotACow> Geoff_Plourde: all of them
2008-03-02 01:59 < Geoff_Plourde> lol
2008-03-02 01:59 < Daniel_Bush> They tried very hard to make Kirk's nemesis into the villain and failed during his monologue about researching the immunization agent to find a virtual fountain of youth, while baring his yellow teeth, ending it with "I think that's more important than the Prime Directive." Kirk disagreed, but he was happy to borderline violate the Prime Directive in taking away machines providing everything...
2008-03-02 01:59 < Daniel_Bush> ...for natives in a form of paradise they enjoyed in the episode The Apple. He liberates people when they do not wish to be liberated and expresses discomfort with the prospect of greatly extended human lifespans as "unnatural." He is rather reminiscent of a certain politician I know.
2008-03-02 01:59 < Daniel_Bush> Except at least his advisers are logical and ethical
2008-03-02 01:59 < Geoff_Plourde> yes who is that fellow?
2008-03-02 02:00 < Geoff_Plourde> could it be George the Third?
2008-03-02 02:00 < Geoff_Plourde> Overlord of the USA
2008-03-02 02:00 < Daniel_Bush> Also, in The Apple, he never even thought to negotiate with the machine keeping his ship captive. He just killed it.
2008-03-02 02:00 < Daniel_Bush> Federation doesn't negotiate with dictators, I
2008-03-02 02:00 < Daniel_Bush> guess.
2008-03-02 02:00 < NotACow> DEATH TO EVIL HUMAN-CONTROLLING MACHINES
2008-03-02 02:01 < Daniel_Bush> Is it really controlling if they consent to serving it?
2008-03-02 02:01 < Geoff_Plourde> hmmm?
2008-03-02 02:01 < Geoff_Plourde> philosphy professors!
2008-03-02 02:01 < Daniel_Bush> It is not a case of mind control in The Apple, as it was in Return of the Archons
2008-03-02 02:01 < Geoff_Plourde> we need you
2008-03-02 02:02 < NotACow> Daniel_Bush: uh, you're starting to creep me out
2008-03-02 02:02 < NotACow> nobody should be able to remember details of a tv series that facilely.
2008-03-02 02:03 < Daniel_Bush> It's okay because it's Star Trek and not the Brady Bunch.
2008-03-02 02:04 < Geoff_Plourde> :D
2008-03-02 02:05 < Geoff_Plourde> interesting philosophy
2008-03-02 02:05 < Geoff_Plourde> *calls asylum*
2008-03-02 02:06 < Daniel_Bush> This must be the sixth or seventh time they've used the "1 on 1 battle music," which made its debut in the episode Friday's Child where the Klingons and Federation agents sought to secure a Capellan mining treaty
2008-03-02 02:07 < Daniel_Bush> referred to in the Futurama episode where Zoidberg fights Fry on Decapod XII in a parody of the episode Amok Time
2008-03-02 02:07 < Daniel_Bush> in which Spock undergoes the Vulcan courtship ceremony and fights Kirk to the death.
2008-03-02 02:08 < Geoff_Plourde> Daniel Bush:I am impressed
2008-03-02 02:14 < Soms> I'm apparently loved.
2008-03-02 02:14 < Soms> Emulated by many.
2008-03-02 02:17 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush I am not impressed
2008-03-02 02:17 < Geoff_Plourde> (bows to the power of Soms)
2008-03-02 02:17 * White_Cat deletes Daniel_Bush for being crufty
2008-03-02 02:17 < White_Cat> soms you are 10 years old?
2008-03-02 02:18 < Soms> Nope.
2008-03-02 02:18 < White_Cat> oh its an impostor
2008-03-02 02:20 * White_Cat uses thunderbolt on Soms
2008-03-02 02:20 < Daniel_Bush> Use Thunder Wave to paralyze
2008-03-02 02:20 < White_Cat> nah
2008-03-02 02:21 < White_Cat> I prefer spark
2008-03-02 02:21 < White_Cat> zaps everything around
2008-03-02 02:21 < White_Cat> an electric type and a ground type combo
2008-03-02 02:21 < White_Cat> with spark its just too easy
2008-03-02 02:21 < White_Cat> I prefer 1 hit KOs
2008-03-02 02:21 < kies> ZAP CANNON!
2008-03-02 02:21 < White_Cat> kies with that acuracy?
2008-03-02 02:21 < White_Cat> come on
2008-03-02 02:22 < White_Cat> spark can hit 100% even in foggy conditions
2008-03-02 02:22 * White_Cat slaps kies with a pachurisu
2008-03-02 02:23 < Geoff_Plourde> (pulls out wet trout)
2008-03-02 02:23 * White_Cat slaps Geoff_Plourde with a Gyrados
2008-03-02 02:23 < Daniel_Bush> You're no better than my Star Trek nerdgasm
2008-03-02 02:23 < Daniel_Bush> Spock > Bulbasaur
2008-03-02 02:23 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush I am also a trekkie dear
2008-03-02 02:23 * White_Cat is cruft god
2008-03-02 02:23 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush well
2008-03-02 02:24 < Daniel_Bush> Quick, name the historian from the episode Patterns of Force
2008-03-02 02:24 < White_Cat> A bulbasaur and Spock has at least one thing in common
2008-03-02 02:24 < White_Cat> both are green in heart
2008-03-02 02:24 < Geoff_Plourde> (pulls out pokemon repellent)
2008-03-02 02:24 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush I am not a TOSist
2008-03-02 02:25 * White_Cat puls out a level 100 pokemon
2008-03-02 02:25 < Daniel_Bush> Oh
2008-03-02 02:25 * White_Cat tosses it at Geoff_Plourde
2008-03-02 02:25 < White_Cat> repellent only works against lower level pokemon
2008-03-02 02:25 < White_Cat> you cant be higher than lv100
2008-03-02 02:25 < Geoff_Plourde> (uses shotgun)
2008-03-02 02:25 < White_Cat> so repellent is useless
2008-03-02 02:25 < White_Cat> no shotguns in the world of pokemon
2008-03-02 02:25 < White_Cat> guns have appeared only twice
2008-03-02 02:26 < White_Cat> on very early episodes
2008-03-02 02:26 < Geoff_Plourde> ahhh
2008-03-02 02:26 < White_Cat> and those were pistols
2008-03-02 02:26 < Daniel_Bush> lol Cmdr. Tracy looks like a Vietnam vet look with bulging eyes
2008-03-02 02:26 < White_Cat> in the americanization one of those episodes was not shown
2008-03-02 02:26 < Daniel_Bush> talking about how they killed thousands with their phasers and they still came
2008-03-02 02:26 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush well
2008-03-02 02:27 < White_Cat> that actualy is a referance to british-zulu wars
2008-03-02 02:27 < Daniel_Bush> I didn't think it to be a Vietnam reference at all, since the series ended on June 7, 1969
2008-03-02 02:27 < Geoff_Plourde> (throws professor oak)
2008-03-02 02:27 * White_Cat dodges
2008-03-02 02:28 * White_Cat tosses Geoff_Plourde a snorlax
2008-03-02 02:28 * White_Cat tosses Geoff_Plourde a Wailord
2008-03-02 02:28 * White_Cat tosses Geoff_Plourde a Groudon

2008-03-02 02:29 * White_Cat tosses 493 different species on Geoff_Plourde
2008-03-02 02:29 < Soms> this has become ##pokemon
2008-03-02 02:29 < White_Cat> Soms no
2008-03-02 02:29 < White_Cat> #pokemon
2008-03-02 02:29 < White_Cat> its offical :P
2008-03-02 02:29 < Soms> yeah with 1 person in it
2008-03-02 02:30 < White_Cat> O_o
2008-03-02 02:30 < White_Cat> hardcore fan
2008-03-02 02:30 < Geoff_Plourde> (builds fortress)
2008-03-02 02:30 < Daniel_Bush> There goes the fight theme music
2008-03-02 02:30 * brown_cat watches White_Cat
2008-03-02 02:30 < Daniel_Bush> It's tedious like Pokemon battle music
2008-03-02 02:30 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush not quite
2008-03-02 02:30 < White_Cat> one is a wav other a midi
2008-03-02 02:31 * White_Cat listens to the Pokemon battle music on youtube
2008-03-02 02:32 < Geoff_Plourde> (invents a tank)
2008-03-02 02:32 < White_Cat> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8ur7hl4EYY
2008-03-02 02:32 < Geoff_Plourde> </italic>blows up white cat's abominations
2008-03-02 02:32 * White_Cat deflects
2008-03-02 02:33 * White_Cat uses peck on Geoff_Plourde
2008-03-02 02:33 < White_Cat> cat peck attack!
2008-03-02 02:33 < Geoff_Plourde> *invents body armor
2008-03-02 02:33 < Geoff_Plourde> *
2008-03-02 02:33 < White_Cat> cat drill-peck attack!
2008-03-02 02:33 < Geoff_Plourde> *upgrades body armor

2008-03-02 02:34 < White_Cat> cat mega-drain attack!
2008-03-02 02:34 < Geoff_Plourde> *reads the Riot Act*
2008-03-02 02:34 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush so
2008-03-02 02:34 < White_Cat> whatcha upto?
2008-03-02 02:35 < Daniel_Bush> watching Omega Glory
2008-03-02 02:35 < Daniel_Bush> while reading the Pedobear article on Encyclopedia Dramatica
2008-03-02 02:35 < Daniel_Bush> while it's buffering
2008-03-02 02:37 < Daniel_Bush> Lol, they beat people who use the word "freedom" over the head with iron bars saying "that's our worship word" and bow before an American flag with reverence
2008-03-02 02:37 < Daniel_Bush> So many parallel-Earth planets
2008-03-02 02:38 < Daniel_Bush> and planets where everyone has just one defining characteristic, like wearing hats
2008-03-02 02:38 < Daniel_Bush> A Federation official contaminates the planet with hat wearing technology, so everyone wears hats there.
2008-03-02 02:40 < Geoff_Plourde> who else thinks that Franco-mongol is biazarre?
2008-03-02 02:40 < Daniel_Bush> "# Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrives in Baghdad for the first state visit to Iraq by a President of Iran. (Associated Press)"
2008-03-02 02:40 < denelson83> Encyclopedia dramatica? More like Encyclopedia boviscatica
2008-03-02 02:40 < Daniel_Bush> The Iraqis have surpassed Americans in diplomacy and international relations.
2008-03-02 02:41 < Daniel_Bush> It's only a matter of time before the Iraqis turn the corner and get flying cars
2008-03-02 02:42 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush well
2008-03-02 02:42 < White_Cat> now try listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXsBks4HRls
2008-03-02 02:42 < White_Cat> do all 3 at once
2008-03-02 02:42 < Daniel_Bush> And now I realize that the Futurama Season 1 episode with the blue liquid lifeforms had Adam West of Batman fame voicing their king, from his "It's only a matter of time now" line
2008-03-02 02:44 < Daniel_Bush> No, wait, it just sounded like Adam West, perhaps
2008-03-02 02:44 < Daniel_Bush> because the "I'm the Emperor! Thanks for crying me out." line had a different voice, or a different voice actor
2008-03-02 02:45 < Daniel_Bush> Maybe they didn't care for consistency past a certain point, like how Star Trek brings named security personnel back from the dead
2008-03-02 02:47 < Daniel_Bush> Crappy CBS video player played three commercials in a row and skipped to the end
2008-03-02 02:47 < Daniel_Bush> Now I have to find my place all over
2008-03-02 02:47 < Daniel_Bush> and that'll take 10 minutes
2008-03-02 02:47 < mavhc> just steal it, much easier
2008-03-02 02:48 < Daniel_Bush> I'll follow the Klingon advice and not steal
2008-03-02 02:48 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush they were never dead
2008-03-02 02:49 < White_Cat> thats what McCoy wanted you to think
2008-03-02 02:49 < White_Cat> he is a real prankster
2008-03-02 02:49 < Daniel_Bush> Commercial stopped loading
2008-03-02 02:49 < Daniel_Bush> Maybe if I disconnect and reconnect and restart
2008-03-02 02:49 < White_Cat> thats because you failed to take your daily dosage of pokemon music
2008-03-02 02:50 < Daniel_Bush> I'm not really into Pokemon
2008-03-02 02:50 < White_Cat> yes
2008-03-02 02:50 < White_Cat> but the divine ones want you to listen to more songs
2008-03-02 02:50 < Daniel_Bush> Magikarp, kill White_Cat
2008-03-02 02:50 * White_Cat watces it splash
2008-03-02 02:51 < White_Cat> if you are lucky it may attempt a tackle or fail
2008-03-02 02:51 < Daniel_Bush> Maybe CBS has something censoring me muting it during their commercials
2008-03-02 02:52 < White_Cat> nothing more annoying than a metapod vs a metapod that only knows useless stuff like string shot and harden
2008-03-02 02:55 < kies> reminds me of http://flameh.com/fl/mpokemon.swf
2008-03-02 02:57 < Daniel_Bush> It skipped the actual TV show part between the commercial breaks again
2008-03-02 02:58 < Daniel_Bush> CBS can't argue against TiVo ad skippers if they make you skip the non-ads elsewhere
2008-03-02 02:58 < White_Cat> Daniel_Bush I hate it yes
2008-03-02 02:58 < White_Cat> I cant watch daily show episodes in peace
2008-03-02 02:59 < White_Cat> all I can watch is commercials
2008-03-02 02:59 < White_Cat> and I cant even buy those products here
2008-03-02 02:59 < White_Cat> Joes crab shack?
2008-03-02 02:59 < White_Cat> nearest one is in flordia
2008-03-02 02:59 < White_Cat> its on the other side of the planet
