2008-03-03 04:43 < nok_cat> I do fine even without TW
2008-03-03 04:43 < AdamBishop> remember when you had to be an admin to be able to rollback? Ah memories
2008-03-03 04:43 < Pumpmeup> it's hardly a massive power
2008-03-03 04:43 < nok_cat> AdamBishop: you don't need to be an admin anymore?
2008-03-03 04:43 < AdamBishop> no, there are all these javascript thingies
2008-03-03 04:43 < zvook> no hence the status-grabs :D
2008-03-03 04:43 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: Remember when 60 support votes on an RFA was like A LOT and A HUGE DEAL?
2008-03-03 04:44 < Soms> nok_cat: No [[WP:Rollback]]
2008-03-03 04:44 < AdamBishop> Mike, I got three support votes!
2008-03-03 04:44 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: Didn't you get promoted on the mailing list?
2008-03-03 04:44 < nok_cat> I was back only when 100 was big
2008-03-03 04:44 < Ral315> I'm not as old as you guys, but I remember Func's long-standing record of 112 support votes.
2008-03-03 04:44 < Mike_H> Ral315: I had the record for many months.
2008-03-03 04:44 < Mike_H> 64.
2008-03-03 04:45 < Ral315> Nice.
2008-03-03 04:45 < zvook> WP:100 is usually a fail these days ;)
2008-03-03 04:45 < AdamBishop> no I had an RFA and everything
2008-03-03 04:45 < AdamBishop> in like, August of 2003
2008-03-03 04:45 < Ral315> I passed at like 27/1/0, with Boothy443 opposing.
2008-03-03 04:45 < Mike_H> Mine was 64/2/1
2008-03-03 04:45 < Mike_H> with a sockpuppet of Wik and some random guy who never edited again opposing
2008-03-03 04:45 * nok_cat pokes the people flaunting their passing rates
2008-03-03 04:45 < Mike_H> and Everyking neutral
2008-03-03 04:45 < zvook> i really enjoy the signpost, btw, ral
2008-03-03 04:45 * Pumpmeup has been cooking pancakes throughout
2008-03-03 04:45 < Mike_H> I bet only Adam and like two people other than us remember Wik
2008-03-03 04:46 < zvook> dunno about the tutorials though. needs moar drama.
2008-03-03 04:46 < AdamBishop> anyway, you can rollback manually. The way we used to do it back in the good old days
2008-03-03 04:46 < AdamBishop> Wik! Hooray!
2008-03-03 04:46 < The359> Do a rollback!
2008-03-03 04:46 < The359> Barrelrollback!
2008-03-03 04:46 < zvook> rollback to the good ol days
2008-03-03 04:47 < nok_cat> the only thing I ever wished to rollback was my school's edits
2008-03-03 04:47 < AdamBishop> do you remember Adam Carr? Since he left I have been trying to fill his role as the complete asshole academic historian
2008-03-03 04:47 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: But Adam Carr was gay.
2008-03-03 04:47 < AdamBishop> true.
2008-03-03 04:47 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: And if we're going to make you the gaystorian
2008-03-03 04:47 < Mike_H> we need to do something about your eyebrows
2008-03-03 04:47 < Mike_H> get thee to a waxery!
2008-03-03 04:48 < AdamBishop> apprently I have gay eyelashes, does that help?
2008-03-03 04:48 < AdamBishop> it's one of the few things I contributed to my own son!
2008-03-03 04:48 < Casull> Man, people are going crazy over at Philipsburg, Montana and posting about a "zombie outbreak"
2008-03-03 04:49 < Mike_H> Not when your eyebrows are as thick as William McKinley's
2008-03-03 04:49 < Mike_H> that kind of cancels the lashes out.
2008-03-03 04:49 < AdamBishop> anyway, I can only aspire to be as sarcastic an asshole as Adam Carr. He was awesome
2008-03-03 04:49 < AdamBishop> we still have Wetman though, Wetman is great
2008-03-03 04:49 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: We're wikiold.
2008-03-03 04:49 < Mike_H> It's depressing when I talk to people and they're like
2008-03-03 04:49 < nok_cat> wikibreviation for nerds
2008-03-03 04:50 < Mike_H> "I've been here since JANUARY OF 2007!!" and they think that's awesome
2008-03-03 04:50 < nok_cat> it's fun when you're talking to wannabe-nerds
2008-03-03 04:50 < AdamBishop> when I joined there were at least 7 competing main page designs! And we didn't even have a real logo yet
2008-03-03 04:51 < The359> wtf, Casull?
2008-03-03 04:51 < AdamBishop> and Jimbo was still married. What's up with that
2008-03-03 04:51 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: I joined like a couple of days after they instituted the current monobook layout
2008-03-03 04:51 < Mike_H> and people were like really cranky about it
2008-03-03 04:51 < zvook> wRiNkLiES
2008-03-03 04:51 < AdamBishop> yeah I didn't like monobook either. I also really hated categories when they were introduced. But categories still suck
2008-03-03 04:51 < Mike_H> Remember substubs?
2008-03-03 04:51 < Ral315> That's one thing I do remember.
2008-03-03 04:52 < Ral315> I hated when they got rid of substubs.
2008-03-03 04:52 < AdamBishop> remember quickpolls?
2008-03-03 04:52 < Mike_H> and remember back when people still liked Phil Sandifer?
2008-03-03 04:52 < AdamBishop> haha, yeah
2008-03-03 04:52 < Mike_H> and there was even a time when
2008-03-03 04:52 < Mike_H> wait for it, kids
2008-03-03 04:52 < Mike_H> people liked KELLY MARTIN
2008-03-03 04:52 < AdamBishop> remember when the servers crashed for days at a time?
2008-03-03 04:52 < AdamBishop> because there were only like 5 of them
2008-03-03 04:52 < Mike_H> and the chat room would get to like 450 people
2008-03-03 04:53 < Mike_H> and everyone would go
2008-03-03 04:53 < Mike_H> "wikidown"
2008-03-03 04:53 < Ral315> Funny, I thought Phil was getting slightly more popular since about a year or two ago.
2008-03-03 04:53 < The359> Casull, I assume it has something to do with the new zombie film?
2008-03-03 04:53 < Mike_H> I also remember when Florence actually contributed to the encyclopedia.
2008-03-03 04:53 < Mike_H> Now that's WAY back!
2008-03-03 04:53 < Casull> Hmmm
2008-03-03 04:54 < Ral315> Mike_H: Ouch :)
2008-03-03 04:54 < AdamBishop> I remember when no one knew Anthere's real name
2008-03-03 04:54 < Casull> you gotta point, but the location seems arbitrary, the359
2008-03-03 04:54 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: I remember a time when there was NO DELPHINE
2008-03-03 04:54 < AdamBishop> who is that?
2008-03-03 04:54 < nok_cat> I joined one day after the Jimbo Wales sex scandal ended
2008-03-03 04:54 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: like Florence's BFF or something
2008-03-03 04:54 < The359> could be the location of the film
2008-03-03 04:54 < AdamBishop> oh
2008-03-03 04:54 < Ral315> AdamBishop, User:Notafish
2008-03-03 04:55 < AdamBishop> ah yes
2008-03-03 04:55 < Mike_H> Oh, and I remember when nobody had the stupid "NotA" screen names
2008-03-03 04:55 < Ral315> Mike_H, they still do :)
2008-03-03 04:55 < NotASoms> Like this?
2008-03-03 04:55 < AdamBishop> I also remember when everyone was trying to figure out Angela's real name
2008-03-03 04:55 < AdamBishop> and there was an article about her
2008-03-03 04:55 < nok_cat> you guys are weirdos
2008-03-03 04:56 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: I remember when they held the first Wikimania
2008-03-03 04:56 < Mike_H> and it had like
2008-03-03 04:56 < Mike_H> no fanfare
2008-03-03 04:56 < Pumpmeup> you haven't noticed the ones that still think it's hilarious?
2008-03-03 04:56 < Ral315> I remember the huge CSD election in 2005, that had about 11 or 12 proposed speedy criteria.
2008-03-03 04:56 < Ral315> I remember the Userbox Wars!
2008-03-03 04:56 < nok_cat> yay userbox wars
2008-03-03 04:56 < NotASoms> nok_cat: No personal attacks.
2008-03-03 04:56 < nok_cat> weren't those rather recent?
2008-03-03 04:57 < NotASoms> :)
2008-03-03 04:57 < nok_cat> =P
2008-03-03 04:57 < Ral315> Started in late 2005, went well into 2006.
2008-03-03 04:57 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: You know how I first started editing as an IP?
2008-03-03 04:57 * nok_cat throws a beer bottle at NotASoms
2008-03-03 04:57 < AdamBishop> yes
2008-03-03 04:57 < Mike_H> I was blocked for being a supposed sockpuppet of the B-Movie Bandit
2008-03-03 04:57 < Mike_H> that never responded to people
2008-03-03 04:57 < Mike_H> and I registered and I was like
2008-03-03 04:57 < Mike_H> "Uh, wtf, hi"
2008-03-03 04:57 < AdamBishop> yes! I remember that
2008-03-03 04:58 < Mike_H> and the fucking B-Movie and soap articles
2008-03-03 04:58 < Mike_H> '''so and so actress''' was on ''this soap'' from [[date]] to [[date]].
2008-03-03 04:58 < Mike_H> {{substub}}
2008-03-03 04:58 < AdamBishop> I remember JoeM, and Michael
2008-03-03 04:59 < Mike_H> I just like that, if I look at any soap opera article
2008-03-03 04:59 < Mike_H> chances are I will recognize huge chunks of my own text
2008-03-03 04:59 < Mike_H> because I was the first one to even touch them besides "this was a soap opera"
2008-03-03 05:00 * Pumpmeup ate faaar too many pancakes...
2008-03-03 05:00 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: I remember Anthony DiPierro
2008-03-03 05:00 < Mike_H> who got banned a lot, came back, then took a break
2008-03-03 05:00 < Mike_H> and is now just on the mailing list and forums as "Anthony"
2008-03-03 05:00 < Ral315> I just realized that I became an administrator before every single person who was selected to the Arbitration Committee in the last elections.
2008-03-03 05:02 < Mike_H> confession:
2008-03-03 05:02 < nok_cat> probably raul set up the topic
2008-03-03 05:02 < Mike_H> I'm still known by my old user name on Wikinews
2008-03-03 05:03 * Pumpmeup is a raging homosexual

2008-03-03 05:06 < AdamBishop> I know Jtdirl voted on it, and he's no longer around
2008-03-03 05:06 < Mike_H> he can be unbanned when he stops his crap
2008-03-03 05:06 * cat stares at Mike_H
2008-03-03 05:06 < cat> did you call me?
2008-03-03 05:06 < Mike_H> no
2008-03-03 05:06 < Mike_H> cat: Pumpmeup said something about a cat
2008-03-03 05:06 < cat> ah, thanks :)

2008-03-03 05:07 < Mike_H> bored trolling?
2008-03-03 05:07 < The359> or someone else using his keyboard?
2008-03-03 05:07 < Mike_H> The359: no, apparently he got carried away
2008-03-03 05:08 < AdamBishop> aha

2008-03-03 05:08 < AdamBishop> "Has done 1619 edits in less than 2 months"
2008-03-03 05:08 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: I went through and counted
2008-03-03 05:08 < Mike_H> how many people are still here out of my support votes.
2008-03-03 05:08 * cat eyes Pumpmeup
2008-03-03 05:09 < AdamBishop> wow, remeber when I had no life and edited Wikipedia constantly
2008-03-03 05:09 < Mike_H> 9.
2008-03-03 05:09 < Mike_H> and you're one of those nine.
2008-03-03 05:09 * Pumpmeup strokes cat calmly
2008-03-03 05:09 < AdamBishop> cool
2008-03-03 05:09 < mexicanbanana> How long has we known about and called cancer cancer? I imagine not long ago it was "evil spirits" or "god punishing you for your sins"?
2008-03-03 05:09 < Mike_H> There are other people who supported who, like
2008-03-03 05:09 < Mike_H> wouldn't even talk to me today
2008-03-03 05:09 < Mike_H> like David Gerard
2008-03-03 05:09 < nok_cat> he hates you?
2008-03-03 05:10 < The359> I'm sure we have an article on the subject of cancer, mexicanbanana
2008-03-03 05:10 < Mike_H> I just don't think I'm in the clique enough to be noticed
2008-03-03 05:10 < Mike_H> which is fine for me
2008-03-03 05:10 < Mike_H> I mean, Lord
2008-03-03 05:10 * cat cuddles Pumpmeup
2008-03-03 05:10 < Mike_H> Cary got on WP after I did and he scored an office job.
2008-03-03 05:10 < Mike_H> Clearly I didn't hobnob with the right set.
2008-03-03 05:10 * Pumpmeup shoos cat off their lap
2008-03-03 05:10 < AdamBishop> ok, I had Menchi, Hephaestos, SimonP, Maveric149, and Jtdirl
2008-03-03 05:10 < nok_cat> I thought the wiki-higher echelons were nice people, except everybody hated Jimbo
2008-03-03 05:10 < AdamBishop> I think SimonP is still around
2008-03-03 05:11 < Mike_H> Maveric149 is too
2008-03-03 05:11 < AdamBishop> he even has an article about him
2008-03-03 05:11 < Mike_H> he helped me with the Wikimania bid
2008-03-03 05:11 < The359> failed Wikimania bid...
2008-03-03 05:11 < Mike_H> The359: cunt.
2008-03-03 05:11 < AdamBishop> Menchi is apparently still around
2008-03-03 05:11 * cat jumps onto Pumped_cat's lap
2008-03-03 05:12 * Pumped_cat is a cat and doesn't have a lap
2008-03-03 05:12 < mexicanbanana> Mexican bananas grow on cactusses.
2008-03-03 05:12 < cat> Pumped_cat is not a cat and he does
2008-03-03 05:12 < mexicanbanana> s/ss/s/
2008-03-03 05:12 < AdamBishop> that's not as cool as [[Canaan Banana]]

2008-03-03 05:14 * Pumped_cat slinks away into a nook in the puffy armchair
2008-03-03 05:15 < OverlordQ> wait what?
2008-03-03 05:15 < Pumped_cat> <Mike_H> you may be bored
2008-03-03 05:15 < Pumped_cat> <Mike_H> but it doesn't mean that other people want to read shit.
2008-03-03 05:15 < Pumped_cat> <Pumpmeup> I figured that everyone there reads wikipedia so...
2008-03-03 05:16 < The359> are you just trying to be a twat?
2008-03-03 05:17 < AdamBishop> I know I shouldn't encourage him, but that was funny
2008-03-03 05:17 < Pumped_cat> no, it comes naturally
2008-03-03 05:17 * Pumped_cat pulled a funny
2008-03-03 05:17 * Pumped_cat toddles off to bed in case someone boots him

2008-03-03 06:45 < zero1328> somewhere? try everywhere
2008-03-03 06:46 < zero1328> there should even be 2 or 3 symbol tables on your computer hidden around
2008-03-03 06:46 < NotACow> mmoo
2008-03-03 06:46 < zero1328> Also, if you want symbols in editing a wiki page, there's a big chart below the edit window

2008-03-03 07:16 * brown_cat makes a note of the fact that in sex, women don't matter or have feelings
2008-03-03 07:16 * Riana makes a note of the fact that brown_cat doesn't like his penis where it is
2008-03-03 07:17 < brown_cat> huh?
2008-03-03 07:17 * The359 makes a note that this conversation is making him limp
2008-03-03 07:17 < brown_cat> O_o
2008-03-03 07:17 * brown_cat gives The359 some viagra
2008-03-03 07:19 < Razerblader> winrar?
2008-03-03 07:19 < NotACow> Soms: why are we talking about sex?
2008-03-03 07:20 < Soms> Read up.
2008-03-03 07:20 < zero1328> no, don't!
2008-03-03 07:20 < zero1328> It's a trap!
2008-03-03 07:20 < NotACow> Soms: i did. didn't help.
2008-03-03 07:20 < Riana> Soms always is -.-
2008-03-03 07:20 * NotACow throws a tarp over the trap.
2008-03-03 07:20 < Soms> [07:14] <dtobias> I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT COW!
2008-03-03 07:20 < mexicanbanana> Um...
2008-03-03 07:20 < mexicanbanana> I didn't ask for random characters.
2008-03-03 07:20 < mexicanbanana> But the most useful/used.
2008-03-03 07:21 < zero1328> I'm pretty sure that's dependant on what you're doing...
2008-03-03 07:21 < zero1328> most are pretty useful in certain areas
2008-03-03 07:24 < mexicanbanana> Hmm...
2008-03-03 07:24 < mexicanbanana> Well, in the context of a HTML textarea used for a forum post.
2008-03-03 07:24 < mexicanbanana> I constantly want to make an em dash or ellipsis.
2008-03-03 07:24 < mexicanbanana> But then I end up doing "--" or "...".
2008-03-03 07:25 < mexicanbanana> Because I have no way to input the real characters.
2008-03-03 07:25 < mexicanbanana> And I can't stand faking it. It feels so wrong.
2008-03-03 07:26 < dtobias> Too many websites and emails use the bogus nonstandard Micro$oft versions of those characters, rather than proper Unicode coding.
2008-03-03 07:26 < mexicanbanana> What bogus non-standard MS versions?
2008-03-03 07:27 < mexicanbanana> Why doesn't all GUI OSes come with some sort of input aid app?
2008-03-03 07:28 < mexicanbanana> Windows sure as hell doesn't.
2008-03-03 07:31 < mexicanbanana> Would it be wrong for some reason to auto-convert any instance of "--" to an em dash and "..." to an ellipsis? Or is there any valid context in which you need two dashes in a row or three periods in a row?

2008-03-03 07:50 < Tony_Sidaway> What's that Canadian lass's name? April Raspberry or something.
2008-03-03 07:51 < Tony_Sidaway> She sounds absolutely loopy.
2008-03-03 07:51 < Tony_Sidaway> Stuff on e-bay. Tacky.
2008-03-03 07:52 < Tony_Sidaway> I thought it was an April Fool thing
2008-03-03 07:52 < mexicanbanana> "What? What'd I do?" says Tony after he's beaten up the mayor with a baseball bat.
2008-03-03 07:52 < mexicanbanana> Mobster are so cool.

2008-03-03 07:54 < zvook> rachel marsden innit
2008-03-03 07:57 < zvook> perhaps mr. wales should have ran his statement on his subpage by her first.
2008-03-03 07:57 < zvook> she does sound loopy though.
2008-03-03 07:58 < zvook> have we had a "dumped via talk page" incident before? surely we must have.
2008-03-03 07:59 < zvook> sup zocky.
2008-03-03 07:59 < zocky> life, universe and everything
2008-03-03 08:00 < zvook> that's quite a lot. you must be busy.
2008-03-03 08:00 < zocky> yeah, more than I enjoy
2008-03-03 08:04 < zvook> that's too bad. i suggest ignoring your boss/your professor/people editing wikipedia.
2008-03-03 08:05 < zvook> delete as applicable.

2008-03-03 08:43 < gwil> i dont know if swearing is permitted in here, but
2008-03-03 08:43 < gwil> what the fuck.
2008-03-03 08:43 < gwil> seriously
2008-03-03 08:43 < mexicanbanana> Why?
2008-03-03 08:44 < mexicanbanana> That guy was sorta famous.
2008-03-03 08:44 < gwil> The fact that it's not fiction made it very... hot. Yes, yes... I know! It's sick, poor women, how could he and so on. It still makes me hard! :-$
2008-03-03 08:44 < gwil> o_O
2008-03-03 08:44 < gwil> don't you think that's a slightly worrying thing to say
2008-03-03 08:45 < mexicanbanana> Well... it's a fantasy.
2008-03-03 08:45 < mexicanbanana> Hopefully.
2008-03-03 08:45 < irql> :/

2008-03-03 08:47 < Viele-baeren> hi szczepan
2008-03-03 08:51 < gwil> so
2008-03-03 08:51 < gwil> the party never stops in #wikipedia huh
2008-03-03 08:56 * arcimboldo_ throws some confetti into the channel
2008-03-03 08:57 < zvook> gwil: you really coulda done with throwing some quotes around that before pasting it
2008-03-03 08:57 < gwil> haha
2008-03-03 08:57 < gwil> if i turn up and bash.org and am subsequently arrested, i only have myself to blame
2008-03-03 08:57 < zvook> aye
2008-03-03 08:57 < gwil> on bash.org*
2008-03-03 09:37 < bogdan> hey
2008-03-03 09:37 < bumm13> hiya bogdan
2008-03-03 09:38 < bogdan> I came here to learn more about Jimbo's personal life.
2008-03-03 09:38 < bumm13> :-p
2008-03-03 09:39 < bogdan> btw, is there any reason why information on his personal life gets published on The Times? :P
2008-03-03 09:39 < bogdan> http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article3475722.ece
2008-03-03 09:41 < bumm13> all I can say is that the woman seems disturbed
2008-03-03 09:41 < bogdan> bumm13: just disturbed? :P
2008-03-03 09:41 < bumm13> (about link) talk about airing dirty laundry ;p
2008-03-03 09:41 < bumm13> well, batshit :P
2008-03-03 09:41 < bogdan> she harrassed her ex-bf who got a restraint order against her.
2008-03-03 09:42 < bogdan> she was fired from Fox News for being too insane even for their tastes :P
2008-03-03 09:42 < bumm13> yeah
2008-03-03 09:42 < bogdan> and of course, she believes global warming is not man-made.
2008-03-03 09:43 < bogdan> well, she's better looking than Ann Coulter.
2008-03-03 09:43 < bogdan> but then, it's hard to find a woman who is not :D
2008-03-03 09:43 < gwil> she sounds like a lunatic
2008-03-03 09:44 < bumm13> it's entirely possible that he had an (unfortunate) encounter with Ms. Marsden and that nothing "romantic" even occurred
2008-03-03 09:44 < NotACow> moo
2008-03-03 09:45 < bumm13> her M.O. isn't promising in these matters :P
2008-03-03 09:45 < bogdan> bumm13: jimbo said it was just one night. Ms. Marsden called him "her ex-boyfriend"
2008-03-03 09:45 < NotACow> moo
2008-03-03 09:46 < NotACow> bogdan: ms. marsden is also as crazy as a loon :)
2008-03-03 09:46 < bumm13> she's obviously delusional
2008-03-03 09:46 < bogdan> "boyfriend for a night"
2008-03-03 09:46 < NotACow> bogdan: i think at this point we have no verifiable information regarding how many times they had sex :)
2008-03-03 09:46 < bumm13> heehee
2008-03-03 09:46 < bogdan> NotACow: presumably 1..5
2008-03-03 09:47 < bogdan> but adding that to the article would be a speculation.
2008-03-03 09:48 < bogdan> and if Ms. Marsden adds a number to the article, it would be original research.
2008-03-03 09:48 < NotACow> bogdan: i could care less abiout jimbo's article; it hasn't been neutral or balanced in at least two years.
2008-03-03 09:48 < bogdan> NotACow: was it ever?
2008-03-03 09:48 < NotACow> bogdan: probably not
2008-03-03 09:49 < bogdan> it doesn't even mention his first wife.
2008-03-03 09:49 < NotACow> he has a first wife?
2008-03-03 09:49 < NotACow> other than christine?
2008-03-03 09:49 < bogdan> I think I read somewhere.
2008-03-03 09:50 < bogdan> "Wales, who is divorcing his second wife Christine, has been secretly seeing conservative TV commentator Rachel Marsden since last fall, friends say. "
2008-03-03 09:50 < NotACow> who was his first wife?
2008-03-03 09:50 < bogdan> no idea.
2008-03-03 09:50 < NotACow> last fall?
2008-03-03 09:50 < NotACow> he says it was one fling in february.
2008-03-03 09:51 < bogdan> well, it's embarassing to say one is dating a right-wing nut. :P
2008-03-03 09:53 < bumm13> "friends say"?
2008-03-03 09:53 < Aqwis> not for a right wing nut
2008-03-03 09:53 < bumm13> more like "hearsay"
2008-03-03 09:54 < bogdan> bumm13: {{weasel word}}
2008-03-03 09:54 < bumm13> yup
2008-03-03 09:57 < NotACow> bogdan: not when you're a nut yourself :)
2008-03-03 10:00 < bogdan> NotACow: heh :P
2008-03-03 10:04 < TheWeasel> Ello.
2008-03-03 10:05 < bumm13> hiya Weasel
2008-03-03 10:05 < TheWeasel> hey
2008-03-03 10:06 * TheWeasel reads the decision on breeder reactors
2008-03-03 10:08 < NotACow> breeding reactors should require a special permit
2008-03-03 10:08 < NotACow> it's really expensive to be euthanizing all these unwanted reactorlets that end up in the city shelters.
2008-03-03 10:09 * TheWeasel forbids interstate traffic to get a plutonium removal
2008-03-03 10:09 < TheWeasel> *core
2008-03-03 10:10 < TheWeasel> I don't know why they're called breeder reactors, but they require plutonium, which is why it was wrong to handle it via the executive without asking the parliament
2008-03-03 10:10 < TheWeasel> cause that could put people in jeopardy, and is significant enough to require bothering sleepy parliamentarians
2008-03-03 10:12 < TheWeasel> Stopping reactors breeding reactors is MURDER, PURE AND SIMPLE
2008-03-03 10:12 * TheWeasel founds the pro-half-life movement
2008-03-03 10:13 < TheWeasel> okay, the other FPS as well.

2008-03-03 11:07 < Aqwis2> welcome back, TheWeasel

2008-03-03 11:46 < TheWeasel> Good for me there.
2008-03-03 11:48 < rw> to be or not to be
2008-03-03 11:48 < rw> that is the question
2008-03-03 11:48 < rw> i once thought
2008-03-03 11:48 < rw> oh well young lad
2008-03-03 11:48 < TheWeasel> the answer is "to be"
2008-03-03 11:49 < TheWeasel> for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause.
2008-03-03 11:49 < rw> see what i mean ;D
2008-03-03 11:50 < TheWeasel> cause you know, the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns puzzles the will, and makes us rather bare those ills we have then fly to others which we know not of.
2008-03-03 11:51 < TheWeasel> It's just safer over here.
2008-03-03 11:51 < TheWeasel> *bear
2008-03-03 11:51 < rw> hoho
2008-03-03 11:51 < rw> there seems to be at least one clasically educated user here ;D
2008-03-03 11:52 * TheWeasel would rather bear those ills he has than bare them
2008-03-03 11:52 < TheWeasel> I was examined about that before leaving school.
2008-03-03 11:53 < TheWeasel> I also played a bit of Shakesy in school.
2008-03-03 11:53 < rw> not really, did you?
2008-03-03 11:53 < rw> what a sight that must have been
2008-03-03 11:53 < TheWeasel> hm?
2008-03-03 11:53 < TheWeasel> Yea, I know
2008-03-03 11:53 < rw> *h*
2008-03-03 11:53 < TheWeasel> there are no parts for weasels, blah blah
2008-03-03 11:53 < rw> ;)
2008-03-03 11:53 < TheWeasel> Actually, there's always Puck
2008-03-03 11:53 < TheWeasel> and the guy in The Tempest
2008-03-03 11:54 < TheWeasel> but those roles are always done by females, for good reason
2008-03-03 11:54 < rw> hihi
2008-03-03 11:55 < rw> well i think there really isn't one for a weasel, no
2008-03-03 11:55 < rw> however
2008-03-03 11:55 < TheWeasel> Except human weasels, like Dick III
2008-03-03 11:55 < TheWeasel> however...
2008-03-03 11:56 < rw> hrhr
2008-03-03 11:56 < TheWeasel> Harr harr!
2008-03-03 11:56 < rw> rather a pig
2008-03-03 11:56 < rw> if you excuse the harsh words
2008-03-03 11:56 < TheWeasel> there's a pig in there?
2008-03-03 11:56 < rw> refering to dick III
2008-03-03 11:57 < rw> oh, never mind ;)
2008-03-03 11:57 < TheWeasel> Yea, rather.
2008-03-03 11:57 < TheWeasel> "plots have I laid!"
2008-03-03 11:58 < TheWeasel> That play probably has the greatest exchange ever put on stage
2008-03-03 11:58 < rw> a fact i am rather surprised to hear is , that you actually atended school TheWeasel ;)
2008-03-03 11:58 < TheWeasel> "thou art unfit for any place but hell!" "one place yet" "which?" "your bed-chamber."
2008-03-03 11:59 < TheWeasel> oh, attending something doesn't mean much.
2008-03-03 11:59 < rw> ;)
2008-03-03 12:00 < rw> i agree
2008-03-03 12:00 < TheWeasel> LADY ANNE: He is in heaven, where thou shalt never come.
2008-03-03 12:00 < rw> if you look at the products of this institution ruling our countries i.e.
2008-03-03 12:01 < TheWeasel> GLOUCESTER: Let him thank me, that holp to send him thither/For he was fitter for that place than earth.
2008-03-03 12:01 < TheWeasel> (dig that past tense!)
2008-03-03 12:01 < rw> oh, i think i might have hit a soft spot there
2008-03-03 12:01 < TheWeasel> LADY ANNE: And thou unfit for any place but hell.
2008-03-03 12:02 < TheWeasel> Well yea, but unschooled people will give up when things get tedious
2008-03-03 12:02 < TheWeasel> We don't want that either
2008-03-03 12:02 < rw> unleashed the full power of poetic potential
2008-03-03 12:02 * NotACow wonders if jimmy has the roughtly $20,000 in federal taxes he owes on the sale of his house....
2008-03-03 12:02 < TheWeasel> "Yes, one place else, if you will hear me name it."
2008-03-03 12:02 < TheWeasel> "Some dungeon."
2008-03-03 12:02 < TheWeasel> " Your bed-chamber."
2008-03-03 12:03 < NotACow> hm,
2008-03-03 12:03 < rw> ok TheWeasel, let me test you how good you knowledge on shakes. really is:
2008-03-03 12:03 < rw> your*
2008-03-03 12:03 * TheWeasel knows the answer
2008-03-03 12:03 < NotACow> why would jimmy take out a $171,000 mortgage on a $180,000 house if he's ridiculously wealthy?
2008-03-03 12:03 < TheWeasel> Maybe other parts of his life are ridiculous as well?
2008-03-03 12:04 < rw> HAMLET
2008-03-03 12:04 < rw> That I can keep your counsel and not mine own.
2008-03-03 12:04 < rw> Besides, to be demanded of a sponge! what
2008-03-03 12:04 < rw> replication should be made by the son of a king?
2008-03-03 12:04 < rw> what comes next?
2008-03-03 12:04 < NotACow> you'd think he'd do 20% to avoid PMI
2008-03-03 12:04 < TheWeasel> "Think you I'm a sponge?"
2008-03-03 12:04 < NotACow> with only 5% down he will get hit with PMI, which nobody wants
2008-03-03 12:04 < TheWeasel> "Ay, that sucks up the king's attention"
2008-03-03 12:04 < TheWeasel> (roughly)
2008-03-03 12:04 < rw> u looked that up didnt u ! ;)
2008-03-03 12:04 < TheWeasel> nope
2008-03-03 12:04 < TheWeasel> I can't look up stuff that fast
2008-03-03 12:05 < TheWeasel> and I type slowly
2008-03-03 12:05 < rw> this seems impossible
2008-03-03 12:05 < TheWeasel> it's not.
2008-03-03 12:05 < NotASpy> NotACow: he could always sell a couple of t-shirts and jumpers on eBay...
2008-03-03 12:05 < rw> at least a bit
2008-03-03 12:05 < TheWeasel> I knew it pretty much by heart.
2008-03-03 12:05 < rw> are you really that good ? ;)
2008-03-03 12:05 < TheWeasel> (all of it)
2008-03-03 12:05 < TheWeasel> no
2008-03-03 12:05 < TheWeasel> it's a dumb way to learn.
2008-03-03 12:05 < rw> hm, well i am surprised
2008-03-03 12:05 < TheWeasel> I don't even know whether that went to Polonius or R&G
2008-03-03 12:06 < NotACow> it also amuses me that my house is worth more than jimmy's
2008-03-03 12:06 < TheWeasel> probably a) though
2008-03-03 12:06 < rw> http://shakespeare.mit.edu/hamlet/hamlet.4.2.html ;)
2008-03-03 12:06 < NotACow> well, his old house
2008-03-03 12:06 < Aqwis2> 180,000 is only 918 000 NOK
2008-03-03 12:06 < Aqwis2> that's.. nothing
2008-03-03 12:06 < NotASpy> NotACow: I was under the impression he was a man of substantial means, from his days as a commode broker, sorry, commodity broker.
2008-03-03 12:06 * The359 has a mancrush on John Barrowman :(
2008-03-03 12:07 < NotACow> i can't find his new house, which means he's either renting now, or he has the house titled in some shield name to keep poeple from finding him
2008-03-03 12:07 < NotACow> NotASpy: yes, and that doesn't fit with taking a 30 year note with 5% down on a relatively cheap house
2008-03-03 12:07 < TheWeasel> Try "Johnny Scotland"
2008-03-03 12:07 < NotACow> NotASpy: unless his credit is 750+, with only 5% he will be reuqired to pay PMI
2008-03-03 12:08 < NotASpy> what's all that gibberish when it's at home ?
2008-03-03 12:08 < NotACow> NotASpy: having a mortgage on the house makes sense because it allows you to free up cash, but i would have expected a 30 year note with 20% down
2008-03-03 12:08 * TheWeasel hates finance law with a fiery passion
2008-03-03 12:08 < NotACow> NotASpy: but the public records are quite clear: 30 year note for 171,000 on a home purchased for 180,00
2008-03-03 12:09 < NotACow> he sold the house i december for 230,000
2008-03-03 12:09 < NotACow> but he had a 120,000 home equity line of credit he took out in februrary 2006
2008-03-03 12:10 < NotASpy> NotACow: yeah, what's the PMI thing. I assume the 750+ is some sort of credit score.
