2008-03-02 13:16 < geniice> CT give up hardened wikipedian's are unshockable
2008-03-02 13:16 < Messedrocker> ut2004player, there is a metal wire in the flag
2008-03-02 13:17 < ut2004player> oh
2008-03-02 13:17 < Messedrocker> to make it look like it's waving
2008-03-02 13:17 * Tony_Sidaway puts his brolly up just in case
2008-03-02 13:17 < geniice> ut2004player http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Moon_Landing_hoax_accusations#Mechanical_issues
2008-03-02 13:17 < geniice> This page is 88 kilobytes long not bad
2008-03-02 13:18 < Apollo9> wow, my automatic nick highlighting just went nuts
2008-03-02 13:18 < Tony_Sidaway> I remember they were very proud of getting the flag to look real at the time. I was 12.
2008-03-02 13:18 < mexicanbanana> You have to be really stupid to think that NASA would be so stupid as to make such an obvious mistake if they indeed faked it.
2008-03-02 13:18 < ut2004player> so it was in space with a metal wire waving the flag?
2008-03-02 13:18 < Cyrius> Apollo9: heh
2008-03-02 13:18 < geniice> Tony_Sidaway that flag was real
2008-03-02 13:18 < Tony_Sidaway> Even on earth they'd have to have a wind machine running, or a spring, to make the flag stand out like that.
2008-03-02 13:18 < geniice> ut2004player see my link may need to scroll down a bit
2008-03-02 13:18 < ut2004player> ok
2008-03-02 13:19 < ut2004player> oh DUH
2008-03-02 13:19 < ut2004player> i see it -_-
2008-03-02 13:19 < ut2004player> :>
2008-03-02 13:19 < geniice> someone has way to much time on their hands
2008-03-02 13:19 < geniice> http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Speed_of_light_from_Earth_to_Moon.gif
2008-03-02 13:19 < Tony_Sidaway> geniice: yes, I meant "natural", like flags look in kids' books.
2008-03-02 13:19 < mexicanbanana> Actually, if anything, the flag being like that actually is an argument FOR the authenticty.
2008-03-02 13:22 * Cyrius is amused by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:As11-40-5874-75.gif
2008-03-02 13:22 < Tony_Sidaway> I suspect a few of the pictures used as proof by the "hoax" people are actually from the slide sets made of the many ground simulations that were made for publicity purposes before the flights. You need to go to the actual Apollo data sets (which used to be online a few years ago when I last checked this kind of thing)
2008-03-02 13:23 * Miranda wonders if someone provides a picture of rachel marsden for wikipedia would wikipedia admins put the pic on the page?
2008-03-02 13:23 < Miranda> like a free image
2008-03-02 13:23 < ut2004player> Hey Miranda
2008-03-02 13:23 < Miranda> hi ut2004player
2008-03-02 13:24 < geniice> Tony_Sidaway> they are online but the really high res images have a habit of moveing around and dissapearing from time to time
2008-03-02 13:24 < geniice> Miranda we don't have a free image
2008-03-02 13:24 < Miranda> ah ok...
2008-03-02 13:24 < Miranda> bummer...
2008-03-02 13:24 < Franco_> maybe we should ask her
2008-03-02 13:24 < Franco_> via ebay or something
2008-03-02 13:24 < Miranda> you don't have a free image...yet
2008-03-02 13:24 < geniice> Miranda jimbo was rather thoughtless in that respect
2008-03-02 13:24 < geniice> Franco_ somehow I really can't see thanone working out to well
2008-03-02 13:25 < geniice> next private eye due out in 4 days
2008-03-02 13:25 < geniice> could be a problem
2008-03-02 13:26 < Miranda> http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Rachel+Marsden&m=text
2008-03-02 13:26 < Miranda> might want to negotiate
2008-03-02 13:26 < Franco_> no, really, i can see her sending a picture of herself giving the finger, with a caption "Rachel gives Wikipedia [[the finger]]"
2008-03-02 13:27 * Tony_Sidaway has genuine pictures of Rachel Marsden and Jimbo Wales canoodling on the moon.
2008-03-02 13:27 < Warpath> ooh a ut2004player :DD

2008-03-02 13:29 < Warpath> ofcourse :p
2008-03-02 13:29 * Warpath is a big fan of the original Ut though :D
2008-03-02 13:31 < yao_ziyuan> how do you say in english that someone is kicked out by a college?
2008-03-02 13:32 < Jonjonbt> XD
2008-03-02 13:32 < zvook> expelled?
2008-03-02 13:32 < Warpath> expelled :P
2008-03-02 13:32 < yao_ziyuan> ok,i recall now
2008-03-02 13:32 < zvook> "sent down" they say in certain english colleges
2008-03-02 13:32 < Apollo9> 'good bye'?
2008-03-02 13:32 < Warpath> "you're fired? :P
2008-03-02 13:33 < Apollo9> GET F*CKING OUT OF HERE?
2008-03-02 13:33 < Apollo9> sorry for strong language
2008-03-02 13:33 < Apollo9> ...
2008-03-02 13:33 < Cyrius> it would have been better if you had just said 'fucking', but without the caps
2008-03-02 13:33 < zvook> the language was fine, repeating the same joke was dull though
2008-03-02 13:33 < zvook> everyone's a critic, i know
2008-03-02 13:34 < Apollo9> I'm not good at this, so I'm sorry
2008-03-02 13:34 < mexicanbanana> I don't know, but this hamburger made me chuckle. I think it is due to its shape.
2008-03-02 13:34 < mexicanbanana> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Cheeseburger.jpg
2008-03-02 13:34 < mexicanbanana> s/know,/know why,/
2008-03-02 13:34 < mexicanbanana> Looks more like a hamburger ball.
2008-03-02 13:36 < Cyrius> cheeeeeeseburrrrger
2008-03-02 13:38 < GaryKing> Hey guys how do I have four images aligned horizontally?
2008-03-02 13:38 < GaryKing> With captions
2008-03-02 13:38 < [z103]WB> das html
2008-03-02 13:39 < GaryKing> Oh, image gallery...
2008-03-02 13:39 < Rinn> GaryKing: I don't know, magically?
2008-03-02 13:39 < Rinn> Carefully? Exquisitely?
2008-03-02 13:39 < GaryKing> I don't think image galleries are magic dude
2008-03-02 13:39 < Rinn> Painstakingly?
2008-03-02 13:40 < yao_ziyuan> i have written something:
2008-03-02 13:40 < Rinn> So have I! It's right here. <--
2008-03-02 13:40 < Rinn> In fact, I'm doing it again!
2008-03-02 13:40 < Rinn> I'm just full of productivity today!
2008-03-02 13:40 < Rinn> Full of something, at least.
2008-03-02 13:40 < NotACow> so, what's this about the city of florence suing wikipedia?
2008-03-02 13:41 < Cyrius> mayor
2008-03-02 13:41 < quanticle> Rinn: Full of crap, more like.
2008-03-02 13:42 < quanticle> Lag check.
2008-03-02 13:42 < Cyrius> full of piss and vinegar
2008-03-02 13:42 < Rinn> Lag cross.
2008-03-02 13:42 < cimon> NotACow, whut? Florence?
2008-03-02 13:42 < quanticle> Ok. Good. I'm not lagged out
2008-03-02 13:42 < Rinn> You're lagged in!
2008-03-02 13:43 < geniice> NotACow something to do with the wife of the majoy being on the board of a firm involved with carparks in some way
2008-03-02 13:43 < cimon> link
2008-03-02 13:43 < GaryKing> http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/01/1426201
2008-03-02 13:44 < cimon> bastard of a thing being 8/9th site on the internet. every little peep makes the major news media...
2008-03-02 13:45 < Rinn> Slashdot is major media?
2008-03-02 13:45 < quanticle> For some of us, yeah.
2008-03-02 13:45 < geniice> Rinn it hit the italian media to an extent
2008-03-02 13:45 < geniice> we are bigger than /.
2008-03-02 13:45 < geniice> although to be fair we are bigger than any news site on the web
2008-03-02 13:46 < SJFriedl> slashdot is like National Enquirer for geeks
2008-03-02 13:46 < quanticle> Well, Wikipedia isn't news, though. And Slashdot is certainly bigger and more prominent than Wikinews.
2008-03-02 13:46 < geniice> WP:ITN is bigger than /.
2008-03-02 13:56 < cimon> geniice, are we really bigger than CNN?
2008-03-02 13:56 < NotACow> cnn sucks eggs
2008-03-02 13:57 < Cyrius> in web traffic, pretty much
2008-03-02 13:57 < Messedrocker> NotACow, there's worse
2008-03-02 13:57 < geniice> cimonwe are bigger than everyone expcet a few search engines and social networking sites
2008-03-02 13:59 < Messedrocker> who was it who tore up a picture of the pope again?
2008-03-02 14:00 < Cyrius> Sinead O'Connor
2008-03-02 14:00 < Messedrocker> heh! i thought that name but for some reason i thought it was wrong
2008-03-02 14:03 < cimon> O'Connor somehow sounds wreong
2008-03-02 14:03 < cimon> much too ordinary...
2008-03-02 14:03 < cimon> Same problem with Roisin McMurphy...
2008-03-02 14:04 < dtobias> Nobody's bidding on Jimbo's t-shirt or jacket yet.
2008-03-02 14:04 < cimon> when you have such a fine christian name as Roisin or Sinead or Siobhan of the like, would be more congruous to have a more exotic surname to go with it.
2008-03-02 14:05 < cimon> now Eamon de Valera is more like it...
2008-03-02 14:05 < Messedrocker> i know of someone named Sinead
2008-03-02 14:05 < Messedrocker> she's black
2008-03-02 14:05 < cimon> dtobias, bidding where?
2008-03-02 14:05 < Cyrius> cimon: ebay

2008-03-02 14:06 < cimon> urgh
2008-03-02 14:06 < cimon> well, as long as they spell jimbos name right...
2008-03-02 14:06 < cimon> there is no such thing as bad publicity
2008-03-02 14:06 < Cyrius> she, that's the crazy woman
2008-03-02 14:13 < Franco_> i might bid on the sweater
2008-03-02 14:14 < SchmuckyTheCat> I need an admin to undo a stupid 3 way move. any of them awake?

2008-03-02 14:17 < Sfan00> I hope you have backups
2008-03-02 14:17 < Sfan00> :(
2008-03-02 14:17 < Alkivar> drive is showing files with 30,000 fragments!
2008-03-02 14:17 < Sfan00> NTFS is a PAIN to fix

2008-03-02 14:25 < CharlotteWebb> i see deletionist people
2008-03-02 14:25 * Faroframkallande waves
2008-03-02 14:25 < Faroframkallande> I'm one!
2008-03-02 14:25 < NotASpy> should've gone to SpecSavers then...
2008-03-02 14:26 * NotASpy runs
2008-03-02 14:26 < mavhc> walking about like normal people, they don't even know they're deletionists?
2008-03-02 14:27 * Cyrius guesses SchmuckyTheCat dealt with his problem through other channels
2008-03-02 14:28 < Ceiling_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Suggestions&curid=13265455&diff=195377639&oldid=195337098
2008-03-02 14:28 < Ceiling_Cat> I just nearly died of shock
2008-03-02 14:30 < CharlotteWebb> there is a guy arguing that the inventor of the drapery hook is "non-notable" because his invention is "now commonplace"
2008-03-02 14:31 < Messedrocker> CharlotteWebb, be sure to put a pox on his mother
2008-03-02 14:31 < Cyrius> CharlotteWebb: so are the diesel engine, light bulb, and transistor
2008-03-02 14:32 < Cyrius> Ceiling_Cat: you should sue New Line Cinema
2008-03-02 14:32 < Aqwis> edison is nn tbh
2008-03-02 14:32 < NotASpy> Ceiling_Cat: so, should the film be licenced under the GFDL licence, or does the GFDL have some get out clause for compilation type work ?
2008-03-02 14:32 < CharlotteWebb> i'm not sure it would be productive to argue with such warped logic
2008-03-02 14:32 < Aqwis> CharlotteWebb, laugh at him
2008-03-02 14:33 < Ceiling_Cat> Their copying is incidental
2008-03-02 14:33 < Ceiling_Cat> it would be nice to get a movie credit though
2008-03-02 14:33 < White_Cat> hmm
2008-03-02 14:34 < White_Cat> [[Singin' in the Rain (song)]] <- is that PD
2008-03-02 14:34 < White_Cat> due to age?
2008-03-02 14:34 < CharlotteWebb> also he says that losing a patent case in the 9th circuit court of appeals makes the inventor less notable
2008-03-02 14:35 < CharlotteWebb> (send in the trouts)
2008-03-02 14:35 < White_Cat> Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-02 14:35 < White_Cat> I found a copy of you

2008-03-02 14:37 < Cyrius> CharlotteWebb: making it to the full circuit would make him more notable, not less
2008-03-02 14:37 * Ceiling_Cat chuckles
2008-03-02 14:38 < Ceiling_Cat> MOAR CATZ!
2008-03-02 14:38 < Cyrius> "scientists have developed sheets of [carbon] nanotubes that measure up to three feet by six feet"
2008-03-02 14:39 < SchmuckyTheCat> Cyrius, List of cities in Greater China needs to be moved back to List of cities in China. It's a very POV title to anyone involved in editing chinese articles, and the mover did a three way move to block movebacks.
2008-03-02 14:39 < White_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/3/3c/Ceilingcatsovrussia.jpg

2008-03-02 15:08 < Cyrius> that's the one!
2008-03-02 15:09 < Ceiling_Cat> http://www.brunching.com/images/geekchartbig.gif
2008-03-02 15:09 < Cyrius> except it's a crappy shrunken version
2008-03-02 15:09 < Ceiling_Cat> that's the big one
2008-03-02 15:09 < Cyrius> I love the punchline
2008-03-02 15:11 < Cyrius> I think it's the little aside about Kirk that does it
2008-03-02 15:11 * Ceiling_Cat lulz
2008-03-02 15:13 < Ceiling_Cat> MOAR CATZ!
2008-03-02 15:14 < Cyrius> meow.
2008-03-02 15:14 * Master_son looks for LOUD_CAT
2008-03-02 15:21 < SchmuckyTheCat> thank you Cyrius.
2008-03-02 15:24 < LOUD_CAT> MOAR VOLUME!!
2008-03-02 15:26 < dungodung> one would think that lolcats could not ever become boring...
2008-03-02 15:28 < Cyrius> so, they think they found why there's a flu season
2008-03-02 15:29 < Cyrius> "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Influenza viruses coat themselves in fatty material that hardens and protects them in colder temperatures..."
2008-03-02 15:29 < mavhc> obese flu!
2008-03-02 15:30 * LOUD_CAT is LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
2008-03-02 15:31 < quanticle> You mean LOUD_CAT is MRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW?
2008-03-02 15:31 < White_Cat> hmm
2008-03-02 15:31 * White_Cat dips Cyrius into fatty material
2008-03-02 15:31 < geniice> so how much to 2 terabyte hardrives go for these days?
2008-03-02 15:31 < nok_cat> LOUD_CAT IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH
2008-03-02 15:31 < Cyrius> it'll drip off, it's warm here
2008-03-02 15:31 < White_Cat> geniice dirt cheap
2008-03-02 15:32 < Cyrius> geniice: check pricewatch
2008-03-02 15:32 < White_Cat> Cyrius now its too warm
2008-03-02 15:33 < LOUD_CAT> MOAR VOLUME!
2008-03-02 15:33 < Cyrius> ...do they even make 2 TB drives?
2008-03-02 15:33 < Sfan00> Hello
2008-03-02 15:33 < Sfan00> I have a question...
2008-03-02 15:33 < geniice> Cyrius can only find external drives
2008-03-02 15:33 < quanticle> Cyrius: They don't. However, you can connect two 1TB drives with RAID 0 and make a 2TB drive.
2008-03-02 15:33 < mavhc> no, just 2 1TB drives in 1 case
2008-03-02 15:33 < Sfan00> Anyone want to answer a difficult question?
2008-03-02 15:34 * Ceiling_Cat is your ceiling_oracle
2008-03-02 15:34 < quanticle> Sfan00: Just ask the question, and then we'll see if we can answer it.
2008-03-02 15:34 < Sfan00> OK.. I was asked to put together a costume for someone...
2008-03-02 15:34 < geniice> so I can't fit an uncompressed en wikipedia database dump on one internal drive
2008-03-02 15:34 < Sfan00> They anted to be a 'maid' to a party
2008-03-02 15:34 < geniice> great just great
2008-03-02 15:35 < Sfan00> One small problem - They needed a long sleeved dress...
2008-03-02 15:35 < quanticle> Sfan00: Like a French Maid?
2008-03-02 15:35 < Sfan00> Kind of
2008-03-02 15:35 < Sfan00> But they needed a high neck/long sleeve - I can't find any of that sort of dress for anything under 100
2008-03-02 15:35 < Sfan00> USD
2008-03-02 15:35 < Sfan00> That's assuming I try costume shops...
2008-03-02 15:35 < quanticle> Sfan00: So you're wondering if you can rig something together for less?
2008-03-02 15:35 < Sfan00> Yeah
2008-03-02 15:36 * quanticle is not a tailor
2008-03-02 15:36 < quanticle> I have no idea.
2008-03-02 15:36 < Ceiling_Cat> Goodwill?
2008-03-02 15:36 * Cyrius is not a seamstress
2008-03-02 15:36 < Sfan00> bcause long sleeve/high necked maids unifroms must exist
2008-03-02 15:36 < Sfan00> (because waitress wear them)
2008-03-02 15:36 < mavhc> visit hotels, steal one
2008-03-02 15:36 < Sfan00> :O
2008-03-02 15:36 < Cyrius> goodwill, secondhand shops
2008-03-02 15:36 < Sfan00> I might try workwear suppliers...
2008-03-02 15:36 < Sfan00> :)
2008-03-02 15:37 < quanticle> Yeah Goodwill, TurnStyle, etc. might be options.
2008-03-02 15:37 * Krimpet bought a french maid costume at a costume shop a couple years ago, they shouldn't be too expensive
2008-03-02 15:37 * quanticle wears t-shirts and jeans and has since he was little.
2008-03-02 15:37 < geniice> Sfan00 black shirt with coller not folded
2008-03-02 15:37 < Sfan00> geniice: Possibly
2008-03-02 15:37 * Ceiling_Cat watches Krimpet in her french maid costume
2008-03-02 15:37 < Sfan00> The designs I'd seen were a balck skirt ad white blouse
2008-03-02 15:38 * Tiresias_Cat is your hirsuit oracle
2008-03-02 15:38 < Krimpet> Ceiling_Cat: it's been in my closet for a year and a half. ;p
2008-03-02 15:38 < Sfan00> Krimpet: The problem is that those are normally short sleeve/ scoop neck
2008-03-02 15:38 < [hmwith]> i found a french maid costume from party city
2008-03-02 15:38 < [hmwith]> like $25
2008-03-02 15:38 < Sfan00> Not long sleeve
2008-03-02 15:38 < Krimpet> Sfan00: ah, is there a reason it has to be long?
2008-03-02 15:38 < Ceiling_Cat> pixxxxx plzzzzzz
2008-03-02 15:38 < [hmwith]> oh, the party city ones were short sleeve/scoop
2008-03-02 15:38 < quanticle> Its cold outside?
2008-03-02 15:39 < Sfan00> person I am putting it together for doesnt want to have to wax thier arms and legs ;)
2008-03-02 15:39 < Sfan00> They lost a bet with thier girlfirend...
2008-03-02 15:39 < [hmwith]> hahahaha
2008-03-02 15:39 < Daniel_Bush> On every Viacom website, they insist on posting the video on their own sites instead of YouTube, but they can't even play the stupid video; they just skip the content after the advertisements and go to the Replay screen
2008-03-02 15:39 < [hmwith]> that makes the story so much better... you should have said that at first
2008-03-02 15:39 < Daniel_Bush> and when you press Replay the ads play again
2008-03-02 15:39 < Krimpet> ah, I suggest they wear a normal one anyway ;p
2008-03-02 15:39 < Sfan00> Krimpet: Yeah
2008-03-02 15:40 < Krimpet> alternatively, long gloves and opaque black tights.
2008-03-02 15:40 < mavhc> Daniel_Bush: it's great how they make sure the irrelevent ad plays anyway
2008-03-02 15:40 < Sfan00> but a long sleeved blouse might show a little effort
2008-03-02 15:40 < Sfan00> Krimpet: Gloves aren't nessacrily practical...
2008-03-02 15:40 < Sfan00> He's going to be cleaning...
2008-03-02 15:40 < Krimpet> oh, yes, I forgot it's mid-february, not halloween :o
2008-03-02 15:40 < Sfan00> Unless you know where to get black rubber gloves
2008-03-02 15:40 < Krimpet> er, early march
2008-03-02 15:41 * Krimpet is perpetually behind the times
2008-03-02 15:41 * Ceiling_Cat is prepetually above Krimpet
2008-03-02 15:41 < Sfan00> Maybe I'll just have to tell him the wax is invetiable?
2008-03-02 15:42 < Sfan00> (that or asking his girlfriend to help him shave :O)
2008-03-02 15:42 < Krimpet> other alternatives: arm bleach
2008-03-02 15:42 < Daniel_Bush> Mayonnaise looks gross.
2008-03-02 15:42 < Daniel_Bush> I'm never eating mayonnaise.
2008-03-02 15:42 < Sfan00> I am assuming that a black bob wig, black tights, and flat pumps are OK?
2008-03-02 15:43 < Sfan00> What is arm bleach?
2008-03-02 15:43 < [hmwith]> it'd be funnier if he wore short sleeve & didn't wax
2008-03-02 15:43 < Sfan00> You mean like chemical warfare Nair?
2008-03-02 15:44 < quanticle> Daniel_Bush: Huh?
2008-03-02 15:44 < Sfan00> hmwith: True
2008-03-02 15:44 < [hmwith]> shouldn't that be the point?!
2008-03-02 15:44 < quanticle> Daniel_Bush: What did mayo did to you?
2008-03-02 15:44 < Krimpet> Sfan00: it lightens the color of arm hair
2008-03-02 15:44 < quanticle> *do
2008-03-02 15:44 < Sfan00> hmwith: He was told to try an put some effort into it...
2008-03-02 15:44 * Messedrocker is going to have to listen to printer noises for the next six hours or so
2008-03-02 15:44 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-03-02 15:44 < Sfan00> MessedRocker?
2008-03-02 15:44 < Messedrocker> i'm doing a printjob of about 3400 pages
2008-03-02 15:44 < quanticle> Messedrocker: You printing a book?
2008-03-02 15:45 < Sfan00> hmwith: He's not a macho type guy though
2008-03-02 15:45 < Messedrocker> i wish!
2008-03-02 15:45 < Messedrocker> quanticle i'm printing out flyers
2008-03-02 15:45 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Oh. What for?
2008-03-02 15:45 < Sfan00> MessedRocker: Documentation?
2008-03-02 15:45 < Messedrocker> quanticle, my job is to organize a directory of people who go to this school and then i print out blank sheets with addresses on them
2008-03-02 15:45 < quanticle> Sfan00: So, is he actually going to be cleaning in this get-up or is he going to a party...
2008-03-02 15:46 < Sfan00> qunaticle : Both ;)
2008-03-02 15:46 < Messedrocker> except i am using a consumer-grade printer
2008-03-02 15:46 < [hmwith]> haha
2008-03-02 15:46 < quanticle> Sfan00: There's a story here, isn't there?
2008-03-02 15:46 < Sfan00> He's got to clean thier flat
2008-03-02 15:46 < Sfan00> and then serve the Ladies, Tea :)
2008-03-02 15:46 < [hmwith]> what was the bet? now, i have to know
2008-03-02 15:46 < [hmwith]> omg, hahaha
2008-03-02 15:46 < Krimpet> Messedrocker: wouldn't it be more economical to go to Kinko's?
2008-03-02 15:46 < Messedrocker> Krimpet, it's cheaper for them to unload the work onto me
2008-03-02 15:47 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Nothing stopping you from going to Kinkos.
2008-03-02 15:47 < Krimpet> are you paying for the paper and ink, though?
2008-03-02 15:47 < Sfan00> The Bet was something simple , he reckoned that the totla number of goals scored in a male soccer match would be more than that scored in a womens one
2008-03-02 15:47 < Messedrocker> quanticle, it'd cost a LOT of money
2008-03-02 15:47 < Messedrocker> Krimpet, they're paying for the paper and ink
2008-03-02 15:47 < Sfan00> On one weekend
2008-03-02 15:47 < quanticle> Messedrocker: It'll cost you as much in terms of paper and ink to do it yourself.
2008-03-02 15:47 < Krimpet> ah, nm then. they're pretty stupid then :)
2008-03-02 15:47 < Sfan00> However, the male match got cancelled... :)
2008-03-02 15:47 < Sfan00> :O
2008-03-02 15:47 < Sfan00> So the female match would obviously have more goals scored ;)
2008-03-02 15:48 < quanticle> Sfan00: And she didn't cancel the bet?! That's cold, man.
2008-03-02 15:48 < Sfan00> quanticle: Cold, but calculating...
2008-03-02 15:48 < quanticle> Sfan00: So what would the guy have got if he'd won?
2008-03-02 15:49 < Sfan00> quanticle: He would have got her as the french maid, serving him ... :)
2008-03-02 15:49 < quanticle> Nice.
2008-03-02 15:49 < Sfan00> But in a slightly skimper outfit...
2008-03-02 15:50 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-03-02 15:50 < [hmwith]> haha
2008-03-02 15:50 < Sfan00> In fact the BET was made by him, that whichever sex scored less goals had to be the maid :)
2008-03-02 15:50 < Sfan00> but he forget to chnage it to maid or valet ;)
2008-03-02 15:50 < quanticle> Messedrocker: You should probably go to Kinkos anyway, and claim the Kinkos charge as your paper and ink. At the rate you're going, you'll go through 6 reams of paper and probably 2 or 3 ink cartridges.
2008-03-02 15:50 < Sfan00> and maids are ussaly female... :)
2008-03-02 15:51 < Messedrocker> quanticle, it's actually MUCH cheaper than that
2008-03-02 15:51 < quanticle> Sfan00: Wow. That's pretty dumb of him.
2008-03-02 15:51 < Messedrocker> i can do the entire job on less than one ink cartridge
2008-03-02 15:51 < Sfan00> So to meet the bet, playful girlfriend said he had to be the maid - crossdressing and all... ;)
2008-03-02 15:51 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Got a laser printer or something?
2008-03-02 15:51 < Messedrocker> inkjet
2008-03-02 15:51 < Sfan00> Quanticle: He's a soccer loving, beer drinking type of guy ... not macho but not that intellectual either ;)
2008-03-02 15:51 < Messedrocker> and it's not like i buy the paper
2008-03-02 15:51 < Messedrocker> they already bought the paper
2008-03-02 15:52 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Really? Inkjet cartridges usually don't last that long.
2008-03-02 15:52 < Sfan00> He is thankfully open-minded...
2008-03-02 15:52 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Ah. Ok. If they've already bought the supplies, its rather pointless.
2008-03-02 15:52 < Sfan00> I told him to watch for the girlfriend getting a hairbrush :O
2008-03-02 15:52 < quanticle> Sfan00: Heh.
2008-03-02 15:52 < quanticle> Sfan00: At least he's holding up his end of the bet...
2008-03-02 15:53 < Sfan00> One imagines that she will be much tougher on 'Miss Abbey Gale' then he would have been ;)
2008-03-02 15:53 < Messedrocker> Miss Abigail Gale?
2008-03-02 15:53 < Sfan00> Abbey Gale = Abbigail
2008-03-02 15:54 < Sfan00> Which in some derivations translates back to serveing person IIRC
2008-03-02 15:55 < quanticle> Nice.
2008-03-02 15:55 < Sfan00> (Or waiting person)
2008-03-02 15:55 < Sfan00> I told him he needed to wax he arms or opt for a long-sleeved uniform...
2008-03-02 15:55 < Sfan00> I still can't find one at his budget
2008-03-02 15:56 < Sfan00> So I might suggest he goes for a more 'practical' business maid... I.e white blouse, and black knee length skirt
2008-03-02 15:56 < Sfan00> (I.e A more 60's type than 20's ;) )
2008-03-02 15:56 < quanticle> Sfan00: Yeah, I'd look at consignment stores, Goodwill, or work uniform stores.
2008-03-02 15:56 < Sfan00> quanticle: Workwear stores don't seem to exist in the UK
2008-03-02 15:57 < Sfan00> At least not that I've been able to find..
2008-03-02 15:57 < quanticle> Sfan00: Well they must exist somewhere. Do you have the equivalent of our Yellow Pages?
2008-03-02 15:57 < Sfan00> I suggested he tried Oxfam for a blouse/skirt instead..
2008-03-02 15:57 < Sfan00> quanticle; UK has yellow pages...
2008-03-02 15:58 < quanticle> Sfan00: Heh. Anyway, have you tried those?
2008-03-02 15:58 < Sfan00> In terms of 'french maid' styles, most of the clothing links I cam up with were 'fetish' or 'fantasy' costumes... not really practical or appropriate
2008-03-02 15:58 < Comets> O_O
2008-03-02 15:58 < Sfan00> quanticle: i've passed on the links to the ones I did find
2008-03-02 15:58 < Sfan00> (in terms of the workwear links)
2008-03-02 15:59 < Sfan00> Comets:? Why the 8)
2008-03-02 15:59 < quanticle> Sfan00: Ah. That's unfortunate.
2008-03-02 15:59 < Comets> you pinged me :P
2008-03-02 15:59 < Comets> "styles" :P
2008-03-02 15:59 < Sfan00> LOL
2008-03-02 15:59 < Sfan00> :(
2008-03-02 15:59 < Sfan00> Unintended ping
2008-03-02 15:59 < Comets> :DD
2008-03-02 15:59 < Sfan00> In case you hadn't gatherd, someone I know lost a bet with thier girlfriend
2008-03-02 16:00 < quanticle> Comets: This is why you only set pings to your full nick.
2008-03-02 16:00 < Comets> :DD
2008-03-02 16:00 < Sfan00> They know have to be her maid for a day ;)
2008-03-02 16:00 < Sfan00> I was trying to get some hints on where to suggest he finds a practical uniform... ;)
2008-03-02 16:01 < Sfan00> The searchs on 'plus size maid' I'd been trying tended to produce 'fantasy' costume stuff, not practical uniforms...
2008-03-02 16:01 < Sfan00> Of course the big problem he will have is finding shoes... ;)
2008-03-02 16:02 < Sfan00> When you are built like a rugby player, you probably have feet to match :)
2008-03-02 16:02 < quanticle> Yeah.
2008-03-02 16:02 < Franz112> hello
2008-03-02 16:02 < Sfan00> Despite what people claim, you need 'flat' shoes when doing cleaning...
2008-03-02 16:02 < quanticle> Hello, Franz112.
2008-03-02 16:03 < quanticle> Sfan00: Don't tell me that you were seriously considering heels for him!
2008-03-02 16:03 < Sfan00> Something a (female) volunteer at a museum told me
2008-03-02 16:03 < Sfan00> qunaticle: She was... I advised him to resist this...
2008-03-02 16:04 < Sfan00> Besides Stilletos WRECK lino...
2008-03-02 16:04 < Sfan00> And if you are not used to them you can seriously hurt yourself... - Not the risk you want to take with hot water...
2008-03-02 16:05 < Sfan00> Apart from the costume side, is there anything else I ought to tell him?
2008-03-02 16:06 < Sfan00> Quanticle: Heels would be fine for a 'serving' maid, but aren't practical for cleaning...
2008-03-02 16:06 < Sfan00> Besides large size heels are WAY expensive
2008-03-02 16:06 < Sfan00> :)
2008-03-02 16:06 < Sfan00> :(
2008-03-02 16:06 < Sfan00> OK
2008-03-02 16:06 < Krimpet> Sfan00: eBay is a good place for big shoes, according to a drag queen at a show I went to once
2008-03-02 16:06 < Sfan00> Sorry to have hijacked this channel
2008-03-02 16:06 < quanticle> Sfan00: Not to mention the fact that he'd be at rist for breaking his ankles.
2008-03-02 16:06 < Sfan00> Krimpet: Yeah...
2008-03-02 16:07 < quanticle> *risk
2008-03-02 16:07 < Sfan00> quanticle indeed...
2008-03-02 16:07 < Sfan00> I told him to try Evans re flat shoes
2008-03-02 16:07 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-03-02 16:07 < Sfan00> Or as you say ebay
2008-03-02 16:07 < Sfan00> Anything else I should advise?
2008-03-02 16:07 < Messedrocker> Sfan00, did you used to have a name other than ShakespeareFan00?
2008-03-02 16:08 < Sfan00> I have had several names
2008-03-02 16:08 < Sfan00> but I've only ever been ShakespeareFan00 on wiki and freenode...
2008-03-02 16:08 < Sfan00> (apart from a short patch when I was using CGI:IRC)
2008-03-02 16:08 < Sfan00> MessedRocker : Why do you ask?
2008-03-02 16:09 < Messedrocker> curiosity
2008-03-02 16:09 * Ceiling_Cat latches onto Messedrocker's face
2008-03-02 16:09 * Messedrocker runs head-on into a wall
2008-03-02 16:09 < Sfan00> BTW Messed I disssaprove of sock-puppets :)
2008-03-02 16:09 * Sfan00 imgaines a mutant 'alien' cat face hugger thingy...
2008-03-02 16:09 * quanticle has three nicks - quanticle, quanticle|away, and Schrodinger_Cat
2008-03-02 16:09 < KingAirbus> hello all
2008-03-02 16:09 < Ceiling_Cat> Sfan00 - you'll have to ask him again in a couple hours. He appears to be out cold
2008-03-02 16:10 < [z103]WB> Messedrocker is my sockpuppet.
2008-03-02 16:10 < Ceiling_Cat> Messedrocker is my sockpuppet
2008-03-02 16:10 < quanticle> Messedrocker is my sockpuppet
2008-03-02 16:10 < KingAirbus> Messedrocker is my sockpuppet.
2008-03-02 16:10 * Krimpet has no sockpuppets. only pantyhosepuppets.
2008-03-02 16:10 < Sfan00> Celing_cat: As long as you don't burst out his guts furballs and all ;)
2008-03-02 16:10 < Sfan00> Krimpet: LOL
2008-03-02 16:10 * KingAirbus has no sockpuppets, only lederhosenpuppets
2008-03-02 16:11 < Sfan00> Krimpet : You bought a maid costume once?
2008-03-02 16:11 * Ceiling_Cat lulz @ Sfan00
2008-03-02 16:11 < quanticle> Krimpet: Is Messedrocker your pantyhosepuppet?
2008-03-02 16:11 < [z103]WB> http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/6196/dannyshirtqi6.jpg
2008-03-02 16:11 < KingAirbus> He's my lederhosenpuppet.
2008-03-02 16:11 < Sfan00> Krimpet: What accessories should I advise him to get?
2008-03-02 16:11 < Krimpet> Sfan00: yeah, at a costume shop
2008-03-02 16:11 < KingAirbus> hello sudoking
2008-03-02 16:12 < Sfan00> Does he need to get himself some sort of bonnet/cap peice?
2008-03-02 16:12 < Krimpet> I'm not sure exactly, I was going for the kinky look then :s IIRC I got a feather duster, seamed stockings, and long gloves
2008-03-02 16:12 < Krimpet> the costume I got came with a frilly head thing
2008-03-02 16:12 < Sfan00> Ah
2008-03-02 16:12 < NotACow> moo
2008-03-02 16:12 < Sfan00> The 'parade' maid rather than a practical one :)
2008-03-02 16:12 < NotACow> i can't have sockpuppets
2008-03-02 16:12 < Daniel_Bush> The Dallas Morning News gets hold of Clinton caucus "training materials," in which supporters are instructed to fight for procedural control of caucuses.
2008-03-02 16:12 < NotACow> i don't wear socks!
2008-03-02 16:12 < Krimpet> 'twas Halloween
2008-03-02 16:12 < Daniel_Bush> The materials say in part, "DO NOT allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles." It goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serve as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness.
2008-03-02 16:12 * NotACow giggles
2008-03-02 16:12 < Daniel_Bush> "The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions."
2008-03-02 16:13 < Daniel_Bush> But this can't be! She says she's an agent of change, too!
2008-03-02 16:13 < KingAirbus> Who here does not wear socks?
2008-03-02 16:13 < Sfan00> Daniel_Bush: Erm some would say that's trying to rig the vote .....
2008-03-02 16:13 * quanticle doesn't wear socks in summer
2008-03-02 16:13 * KingAirbus never wears socks
2008-03-02 16:13 < shimgray> not rig!
2008-03-02 16:13 < KingAirbus> Hello Scarian
2008-03-02 16:13 < Messedrocker> Sfan00, thank you, we all got that
2008-03-02 16:13 < quanticle> Unfortunately, not wearing socks in winter here is a recipe for frostbite
2008-03-02 16:13 < shimgray> just... facilitate the correct decision
2008-03-02 16:13 < Scarian> KingAirbus: Hello, friend.
2008-03-02 16:13 < KingAirbus> Not in Florida, it ain't
2008-03-02 16:14 < KingAirbus> .
2008-03-02 16:14 < Daniel_Bush> Why would you need to be in control of how many delegates are allotted unless you're trying to rig it in your favor?
2008-03-02 16:14 < KingAirbus> Exactly!
2008-03-02 16:14 < quanticle> KingAirbus: Well, I'm considerably further north of Florida.
2008-03-02 16:14 < KingAirbus> hello |will|
2008-03-02 16:14 < KingAirbus> NYC?
2008-03-02 16:14 < Sfan00> Krimpet: Well the one I eventuall advised him to get was one that was somewhere between practical (bland), and kinky, but impractical
2008-03-02 16:14 < NotACow> Daniel_Bush: it's politics, you're supposed to try to rig the vote!
2008-03-02 16:14 < quanticle> Daniel_Bush: It seems like a ploy to try to counteract Obama's success at caucuses.
2008-03-02 16:14 < KingAirbus> It's called gerrymandering because it's never done *by* Jerry!
2008-03-02 16:14 < KingAirbus> :D lol
2008-03-02 16:14 < KingAirbus> hello pe3
2008-03-02 16:15 < KingAirbus> hello MrZ-man
2008-03-02 16:15 < Sfan00> NotACow: That's American Domocracy :)
2008-03-02 16:15 < Sfan00> Or better - Dem- ocracy ;)
2008-03-02 16:15 < Daniel_Bush> Also, I hear they're urging their supporters to show up 45 minutes earlier than Obama's. I wonder if the strategy is to get all the Clinton supporters in before the Obama ones in case the caucus building doesn't have room for more...
2008-03-02 16:15 < Sfan00> Hillary team need to get the right sort of people to vote for Dem ;)
2008-03-02 16:16 < Sfan00> It's a free choice, anyone not choosing Hillary is free not to choose ;)
2008-03-02 16:17 < Sfan00> Hillary Clinton - The RIGHT woman for America , perhaps ? ;)
2008-03-02 16:17 < KingAirbus> Ron Paul. Pure and simple.
2008-03-02 16:18 < Paine> I vote: not caring about politics.
2008-03-02 16:18 < quanticle> Sfan00: Oh god. That's as bad as one the talk radio posters around these parts - "Jason Lewis: *Right* at 5:00pm".
2008-03-02 16:19 < Sfan00> Paine: You don't care about politics?
2008-03-02 16:19 < Sfan00> quanticle: I have a library of witty comments..
2008-03-02 16:19 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-03-02 16:19 < Paine> not american politics, anyway
2008-03-02 16:19 < Sfan00> Like I could say the person I mentioned earlier was maid to keep the bet ;)
2008-03-02 16:22 < encoded> >:(
2008-03-02 16:23 * encoded looks at KingAirbus
2008-03-02 16:23 < bumm13> I feel the same way
2008-03-02 16:23 < Sfan00> encoded:?
2008-03-02 16:23 < KingAirbus> What's nick collision? And for that reason, what is a netsplit?
2008-03-02 16:23 * encoded slaps Sfan00 around a bit with a large trout
2008-03-02 16:23 < Sfan00> a netsplit is when two portions of a IRC system become detached
2008-03-02 16:23 < tawker> they'e fun
2008-03-02 16:24 < tawker> it means you get a flood of quit/join messages
2008-03-02 16:24 < KingAirbus> why would it happen?
2008-03-02 16:24 < Sfan00> nick collison is when your choosen nickname is the same as someone elses
2008-03-02 16:24 < KingAirbus> why would it happen?
2008-03-02 16:24 < Starnestommy> a nick collision is usually when two people with the different nick timestamps connect at once
2008-03-02 16:24 < Starnestommy> KingAirbus: the connection breaking due to a loose cable, a software bug, ot an intentional spliy
2008-03-02 16:25 < Starnestommy> *or an intentional split
2008-03-02 16:25 < Sfan00> BTW Did that cable cut in the Middle East get repaired?
2008-03-02 16:26 < quanticle> It did.
2008-03-02 16:26 < quanticle> But we still don't know why it happened.
2008-03-02 16:26 < KingAirbus> Which is better, CVS or RCS?
2008-03-02 16:27 < encoded> SVN
2008-03-02 16:27 < KingAirbus> ???
2008-03-02 16:28 < quanticle> Git, ftw
2008-03-02 16:28 < quanticle> Maven's pretty cool too.
2008-03-02 16:30 < Sfan00> King Aribus : Whichever meets the requirments you have have source managment
2008-03-02 16:31 < quanticle> KingAirbus: If RCS and CVS are your only choices, then its not even a contest. CVS wins hands down.
2008-03-02 16:33 < NotACow> cvs is just rcs + fluff
2008-03-02 16:33 < Sfan00> SVN is good
2008-03-02 16:33 < NotACow> i like svn
2008-03-02 16:34 < Sfan00> But it depends on what you actualy need the source managment to do
2008-03-02 16:34 < NotACow> svn fixed some of the more annoying features of cvs
2008-03-02 16:34 < NotACow> for a professional environment you might want more intelligence
2008-03-02 16:34 < Sfan00> I am sure there are some 'commerical propriatery' source managers that are better tha SVN
2008-03-02 16:34 < NotACow> svn works for meeee!
2008-03-02 16:35 < quanticle> Sfan00: You'd be surprised as to how much better SVN is compared to some proprietary source control systems (ClearCase, I'm looking at you!).
2008-03-02 16:35 < Sfan00> [[Comparison of source control systems]] ?
2008-03-02 16:36 < KingAirbus> What about VersionTracker?
2008-03-02 16:36 < quanticle> Sfan00: Article doesn't exist and I don't have the time to start it.
2008-03-02 16:37 < Sfan00> OK I'll put it on requested articles at some point
2008-03-02 16:38 < quanticle> Sfan00: It could be just a redirect to a section inside [[revision control]]
2008-03-02 16:39 < Sfan00> Possibly
2008-03-02 16:43 < Lubaf> Who's your daddy?
2008-03-02 16:43 < Lubaf> Who is your daddy?
2008-03-02 16:43 * NotACow sics her daddy on Lubaf
2008-03-02 16:46 < asdf> well
2008-03-02 16:46 < quanticle> O_O
2008-03-02 16:46 < NotACow> MO!
2008-03-02 16:46 < quanticle> I've only got 26 GB left
2008-03-02 16:46 < asdf> MO?
2008-03-02 16:47 < KingAirbus> I got permanently banned from abwayax.com just because I was there and I never was before (and it's not invite-only)! What do I do!?
