2008-03-04 13:31 < Cyrius> Ceiling_Cat: meh, Gygax would have laughed
2008-03-04 13:31 * gwern looks smug at the person who was going butslashdotisn'treportinggyrax'sdeath!

2008-03-04 13:32 < Cyrius> Ceiling_Cat: didn't you see that episode of Futurama where he guest starred?
2008-03-04 13:32 < Ceiling_Cat> Yes, I did
2008-03-04 13:32 < Ceiling_Cat> along with Nichele Nichols
2008-03-04 13:32 < Ceiling_Cat> Al Gore

2008-03-04 13:33 < Demi> Yes, I would like to look at your Fry hole.

2008-03-04 13:34 < kenlyric> that's a hawking hole.
2008-03-04 13:34 < Cyrius> put the dice away, or I will _take_ them away!
2008-03-04 13:34 < Cyrius> invite only is probably enough
2008-03-04 13:35 < Martinp23> (let unafiliateds in too)
2008-03-04 13:35 < Martinp23> *typo
2008-03-04 13:35 < RichiH> we are on it, btw
2008-03-04 13:35 < gwern> now that's odd. how did gnaa manage to go through my irssi and open up in my firefox?
2008-03-04 13:35 < CharlotteWebb> to last measure?
2008-03-04 13:35 < Cyrius> RichiH: it was kind of hard to miss the k-lines =)
2008-03-04 13:35 < gwern> looked like it
2008-03-04 13:36 < Cyrius> gwern: accidental clickery?
2008-03-04 13:36 < CharlotteWebb> maybe you clicked meaning to click something else
2008-03-04 13:36 < CharlotteWebb> yea
2008-03-04 13:36 < Addshore> lól wtf
2008-03-04 13:36 < gwern> but I didn't click on their links. perhaps it was a misbehaved extension
2008-03-04 13:36 < Demi> acclickdental

2008-03-04 13:42 < Mbimmler> keep your fingers crossed
2008-03-04 13:42 * Cyrius wonders if Gygax dropped any good loot
2008-03-04 13:43 < CydeWeys> How much EXP did he give?
2008-03-04 13:43 < Fabexplosive> oh, shit

2008-03-04 13:43 < Fabexplosive> no
2008-03-04 13:43 < Fabexplosive> previous
2008-03-04 13:44 < Demi> hi AdamBishop
2008-03-04 13:44 < AdamBishop> hey Demi!
2008-03-04 13:45 < Fabexplosive> uhm, is necessary +r?
2008-03-04 13:45 < AdamBishop> haven't seen you for awhile
2008-03-04 13:45 < Demi> nor i you
2008-03-04 13:45 < Demi> what's the haps?
2008-03-04 13:45 < AdamBishop> we had a son
2008-03-04 13:45 < AdamBishop> he's 7 weeks old now
2008-03-04 13:46 < Demi> \o/
2008-03-04 13:46 < Demi> i expect a cigar
2008-03-04 13:46 < Ceiling_Cat> Adam - CONGRATS!
2008-03-04 13:46 * Ceiling_Cat huggles AdamBishop
2008-03-04 13:46 < AdamBishop> ====]~~~
2008-03-04 13:46 < AdamBishop> that kind of looks like a cigar, right?
2008-03-04 13:46 < Demi> that's good
2008-03-04 13:46 < Cyrius> good enough
2008-03-04 13:47 < Fabexplosive> hey eia
2008-03-04 13:47 < AdamBishop> it's a lot easier and a lot more fun than I expected. For a few months there I was convinced this was going to be the worst thing ever
2008-03-04 13:47 < Demi> i found that the ways in which it was hard were not the ways i anticipated it being hard
2008-03-04 13:48 < Ceiling_Cat> AdamBishop - go knock on wood *now*
2008-03-04 13:48 < Ceiling_Cat> or else your life is over
2008-03-04 13:50 < AdamBishop> the hardest part is the lack of sleep
2008-03-04 13:50 < effeietsanders> hi fabel
2008-03-04 13:51 < Demi> do you have help?
2008-03-04 13:52 < AdamBishop> yeah, her parents are only 10 minutes away. And my parents are only an hour and a half so they come as much as they can
2008-03-04 13:52 < Demi> that's cool
2008-03-04 13:53 < AdamBishop> she stays up with him during the afternoon and when I'm at work at night, and I stay up for the rest of the night and morning
2008-03-04 13:53 < AdamBishop> that's hard too since we don't get to spend a lot of time together anymore
2008-03-04 13:53 < Demi> yes
2008-03-04 13:55 < Demi> i wonder what i'm eating?
2008-03-04 13:55 < Demi> soybeans, maybe?
2008-03-04 13:56 < AdamBishop> soybeans and lentls?
2008-03-04 13:56 < Mike2> wow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueJeC2pxxbM
2008-03-04 13:58 < Demi> well, it's in a trail mix
2008-03-04 13:59 < AdamBishop> is it people? IT'S PEOPLE!
2008-03-04 13:59 < amidaniel> mmmm people
2008-03-04 13:59 < Demi> aagh
2008-03-04 13:59 < Demi> that's what they mean by "natural mix"
2008-03-04 14:00 < Demi> "This product ingredients are from: USA, India and/or Africia and/or Vietnam and China"
2008-03-04 14:00 < Demi> that's very specific
2008-03-04 14:01 < amidaniel> o.O
2008-03-04 14:02 < gwern> Demi: sure. why it almost excludes a good chunk of the world

2008-03-04 14:03 < amidaniel> OldakQuill: Pardon?
2008-03-04 14:03 < OldakQuill> Oh, I was suggesting a new topic - Wikipedia isn't quite up for everyone at the moment
2008-03-04 14:03 < Demi> gwern - "We're pretty sure none of this crap is from South America. Or South Americia."

2008-03-04 14:04 < amidaniel> OldakQuill: Can you ask more politely than "!topic"? :)
2008-03-04 14:04 < OldakQuill> Sorry, I wasn't really using it to ask. I thought !topic was /topic, seeing if I could change it myself
2008-03-04 14:05 < OldakQuill> I would have been more polite in asking had /topic not worked
2008-03-04 14:05 < amidaniel> Okay :)
2008-03-04 14:05 < OldakQuill> :)
2008-03-04 14:05 < gwern> Demi: or australia, or anarticia

2008-03-04 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> Uh oh
2008-03-04 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> In the US, you can get away with *ANYTHING* except messing with dogs or children
2008-03-04 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> if you do that, you're done
2008-03-04 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> Look at OJ and Michael Vick
2008-03-04 14:12 < Ceiling_Cat> Nuff said
2008-03-04 14:12 < OldakQuill> Ceiling_Cat: I read about that on reddit. Did the guy the mob was suggesting was the culprit the right guy?
2008-03-04 14:13 < Ceiling_Cat> the mob?
2008-03-04 14:13 < OldakQuill> *Was the guy the mob...
2008-03-04 14:13 < Ceiling_Cat> I do not understand the question
2008-03-04 14:14 < OldakQuill> Some guy had posted on his blog that the marine in the video was this guy with a myspace profile and gave his home address, telephone number, &c. It was the top story on reddit w/ lots of angry comments
2008-03-04 14:14 < Ceiling_Cat> oh wow
2008-03-04 14:14 < Ceiling_Cat> I didn't know about that
2008-03-04 14:15 < OldakQuill> http://reddit.com/info/6ans7/comments/
2008-03-04 14:18 < Golbez> aww, Gary Gygax died
2008-03-04 14:20 < AdamBishop> was he defeated by someone with more experience points?
2008-03-04 14:20 < AdamBishop> I wish I was a bigger nerd so I could make a better joke. But then, no I don't.
2008-03-04 14:21 < Golbez> AdamBishop- he failed his last saving throw vs. death
2008-03-04 14:22 < LordMetroid> Why do you have a wikipedia-overflow?
2008-03-04 14:23 < Krimpet> LordMetroid: it throttles the rate people can join at, to prevent flooding
2008-03-04 14:23 < LordMetroid> Ahh, I see
2008-03-04 14:28 < Miranda|away> any admins around

2008-03-04 14:36 < CharlotteWebb> grr that's a duplicate
2008-03-04 14:36 < CharlotteWebb> i already uploaded it http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Rachel_Marsden_at_CPAC_2008.jpg
2008-03-04 14:38 < CharlotteWebb> i had planned to just wait till the protection expired
2008-03-04 14:59 < Kaare> White_Cat are you here?
2008-03-04 14:59 < Golbez> is anyone here an obama fan
2008-03-04 15:06 < Ausir> Golbez: I am
2008-03-04 15:06 < [hmwith]> CharlotteWeb: "And I have a singing telegram from Gary Gygax' poltergeist."
2008-03-04 15:06 < [hmwith]> hahaha
2008-03-04 15:08 < [hmwith]> CharlotteWebb*
2008-03-04 15:09 < Cyrius> I guess Al Gore finally got fed up with Gygax rolling his dice all the time
2008-03-04 15:09 < Golbez> hah
2008-03-04 15:10 < Golbez> Ausir- Thanks, though I decided I didn't know what to ask.
2008-03-04 15:10 < Golbez> It was going to be something like, "tell a libertarian like me why I should like Obama"
2008-03-04 15:10 < Golbez> because I do, and it's confusing.
2008-03-04 15:10 < mexicanbanana> What is the general term for "adjusted" text in typography?
2008-03-04 15:10 < Cyrius> Golbez: he's not actively out to get you like everyone else with a plausible campaign
2008-03-04 15:11 < Cyrius> mexicanbanana: [[kerning]]?
2008-03-04 15:11 < Golbez> I finally looked at his platform today
2008-03-04 15:11 < Golbez> and while I disagree with a lot of it being done by the government, i see some really good leadership qualities there
2008-03-04 15:11 < mexicanbanana> Whose platform?
2008-03-04 15:11 < Cyrius> obama
2008-03-04 15:11 < Golbez> In general, if I weren't a hardcore libertarian, a lot of these changes look like good ideas. =p
2008-03-04 15:11 < Cyrius> Golbez: it's the transparency and openness that I like
2008-03-04 15:11 < Golbez> Cyrius- exactly, his stance on transparency and civil rights was originally what brought me to him
2008-03-04 15:11 < LordMetroid> Politics, buuu hisss
2008-03-04 15:12 < Golbez> now i'm trying to reconcile the rest of hte package, that's all
2008-03-04 15:12 < Cyrius> secrets secrets secrets you don't need to know we're the government and we know best
2008-03-04 15:12 < Golbez> exactly
2008-03-04 15:12 < Golbez> he has an actual track record on that
2008-03-04 15:12 < Golbez> ps if I may take a moment to bitch about Clinton supporters
2008-03-04 15:12 < LordMetroid> Because we are the government and you are not!
2008-03-04 15:12 < mexicanbanana> Cyrius: Hmm... thanks. Will read.
2008-03-04 15:12 < Golbez> please stop talking about her "experience".
2008-03-04 15:12 < Golbez> if you gave a shit about experience, you would have voted Richardson.
2008-03-04 15:12 < Cyrius> =)
2008-03-04 15:12 < scorchsaber> hahahah
2008-03-04 15:12 < Golbez> that's all.
2008-03-04 15:12 < scorchsaber> Golbez++;
2008-03-04 15:13 < scorchsaber> Golbez: He brought up that point in a debate
2008-03-04 15:13 < TheWeasel> Back
2008-03-04 15:13 < scorchsaber> Golbez: And everybody ignored him. :P
2008-03-04 15:13 * TheWeasel would have voted Biden
2008-03-04 15:13 < Golbez> Or Gravel, for that matter.
2008-03-04 15:13 < Golbez> Gravel has more experience than Clinton and Obama combined.
2008-03-04 15:13 < scorchsaber> Golbez: On the other hand, there was that whole "co-presidents" thing back with Bill.
2008-03-04 15:13 < Cyrius> or Dodd
2008-03-04 15:13 < Golbez> scorchsaber- but she isn't responsible for the bad things he did, oh no. Only the good ones.
2008-03-04 15:13 < TheWeasel> Biden knows shit about the world that Gravel patently doesn't.
2008-03-04 15:13 < scorchsaber> Golbez: :P
2008-03-04 15:14 < Golbez> I would have voted Gravel given the chance, but then again I'm a crackpot who caucused for Paul. =p
2008-03-04 15:14 < scorchsaber> I liked Gravel
2008-03-04 15:14 < Golbez> Gravel is an American hero, and no one knows his name.
2008-03-04 15:14 < scorchsaber> He was completely and utterly ignored, though.
2008-03-04 15:14 < TheWeasel> If Ron Paul doesn't become president, it's just the tyrannic conspiracy of un-freedom.
2008-03-04 15:14 < Cyrius> Dodd's been in (an) office almost as long as Biden
2008-03-04 15:14 < scorchsaber> TheWeasel: On the contrary, it would be the result of a democratic election.
2008-03-04 15:15 < TheWeasel> If Obama doesn't become president, it's just boring complainers who care about ... say ... politics.
2008-03-04 15:15 < TheWeasel> When everybody knows that show homilies are far more relevant
2008-03-04 15:15 < Golbez> the best option for Obama's running mate would be Richardson. That would fix the experience "problem".
2008-03-04 15:15 < TheWeasel> I like Dodd, he seems oddly European
2008-03-04 15:16 < TheWeasel> it's just odd how he brags with his mad Spanish skillz
2008-03-04 15:16 < Golbez> But could a black/hispanic ticket win?
2008-03-04 15:16 < Golbez> (Sí se puede!)
2008-03-04 15:17 < TheWeasel> Huckabee/Jesus '08!
2008-03-04 15:17 < Cyrius> TheWeasel: yes, Obama's stated policy positions are completely irrelevant, let's mock him for not saying we're all doomed
2008-03-04 15:17 < Golbez> or wait
2008-03-04 15:17 < Golbez> that would be...
2008-03-04 15:17 < Golbez> ¡Sí se puede!
2008-03-04 15:17 < Golbez> there.
2008-03-04 15:17 < Cyrius> saw a guy who did a little study of what was on Obama's and Clinton's web sites
2008-03-04 15:17 < scorchsaber> Golbez: :O
2008-03-04 15:17 < Cyrius> found more substance on Obama's
2008-03-04 15:17 < Cyrius> this was a few weeks ago, so the balance may have changed
2008-03-04 15:17 < Cyrius> although I doubt it
2008-03-04 15:17 < TheWeasel> you wouldn't know it from his speeches.
2008-03-04 15:18 < Golbez> He has a large issues pamphlet, though some needed definitions are omitted.
2008-03-04 15:18 < TheWeasel> (which, excuse me, is all that is put through to this overseas place)
2008-03-04 15:18 < Cyrius> that's because policy discussions are boring, and the people who watch speeches want to be entertained
2008-03-04 15:18 < Golbez> Where are you, TheWeasel?
2008-03-04 15:18 < TheWeasel> Germany
2008-03-04 15:18 < Lubaf> A moment of silence for Gary Gygax, please.
2008-03-04 15:18 < Lubaf> Okay, that's long enough.
2008-03-04 15:18 < LordMetroid> Anarchy!
2008-03-04 15:18 < Golbez> our article on the United Farm Workers is fugly.
2008-03-04 15:18 < scorchsaber> I read an article about Obama's policies versus Clinton's
2008-03-04 15:18 < TheWeasel> Cyrius: And if we all work together, there is no limit to our dreams!
2008-03-04 15:19 < Cyrius> Lubaf: you must've rolled low for duration
2008-03-04 15:19 < Sfan00> scorchsaver: Take it to #politics
2008-03-04 15:19 < scorchsaber> THe article said that in reality, Clinton was the idealist (base on her policies), and Obama the realist. :P
2008-03-04 15:19 < Cyrius> Al Gore finally took Gygax's dice away
2008-03-04 15:19 < Golbez> Sfan00- that's random, we're talking here
2008-03-04 15:19 < Sfan00> Take it to #politics
2008-03-04 15:19 < LordMetroid> mmm
2008-03-04 15:19 < TheWeasel> It's certainly nicer than to listen to Edwards talk about brain cancer
2008-03-04 15:19 * LordMetroid agrees
2008-03-04 15:19 < scorchsaber> Sfan00: Yes, I'm the person who started it, and I'm the only person talking about politics
2008-03-04 15:19 < Golbez> don't just tell someone to take it to #politics the moment you come in in the middle of a conversation, that's very rude
2008-03-04 15:19 < scorchsaber> Sfan00: single me out, thanks very much, it's all me.
2008-03-04 15:20 < Sfan00> Golbez : OK, Noted
2008-03-04 15:20 < Sfan00> :)
2008-03-04 15:20 < LordMetroid> We don't care, this is #wikipedia... Do you speak of any encyclopedic value?
2008-03-04 15:20 < Cyrius> scorchsaber: Sfan00 gets weird sometimes, don't worry about it
2008-03-04 15:20 < Sfan00> Sometimes ?
2008-03-04 15:20 < TheWeasel> It's evening again in America.
2008-03-04 15:20 * Sfan00 says high to the unicorn with rainbow hair
2008-03-04 15:20 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-03-04 15:20 < Cyrius> I'm speaking of the weirdness where you start bothering other people, rather than being weird in your own little world
2008-03-04 15:20 < mexicanbanana> Is "~" a good character to use to denote "text being truncated" in a text if you can't afford the space to do [...]?
2008-03-04 15:21 < TheWeasel> In 2007, more people go to bed every day than wake up in the morning.
2008-03-04 15:21 < Sfan00> Not really
2008-03-04 15:21 < scorchsaber> Sfan00: take it to ##unicorns. :P
2008-03-04 15:21 < Sfan00> In some cirsustmances ~ could be confused for soemthing else
2008-03-04 15:21 < TheWeasel> Take me to the river.
2008-03-04 15:21 < Sfan00> scorchsaber; Touche, all is forgivven
2008-03-04 15:21 < mexicanbanana> Sfan00: Like what?
2008-03-04 15:21 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-03-04 15:21 < TheWeasel> And then to your leader.
2008-03-04 15:21 < Sfan00> ~ is used for usr/bin on Linux IIRC?
2008-03-04 15:21 < CharlotteWebb> why couldn't you afford the space
2008-03-04 15:21 < TheWeasel> the great Tom Lehrer once said
2008-03-04 15:22 < Starnestommy> ~ is /home/$USER
2008-03-04 15:22 < mexicanbanana> http://www.anontalk.com/activity/1 <-- This is the context, Sfan00.
2008-03-04 15:22 < Sfan00> Erm anon? Is that worksafe
2008-03-04 15:22 < TheWeasel> "as someone once remarked to [[Franz Schubert|Schubert]]/Take me to your "Lieder""
2008-03-04 15:22 < mexicanbanana> Sfan00: No pictures on the site. Perhaps NSFW text content.
2008-03-04 15:22 < CharlotteWebb> you mean you have a job?
2008-03-04 15:23 < Sfan00> CharlotteeWebb: I go by NSFW stuff not being suitable for easily offended brits ;)
2008-03-04 15:23 < Sfan00> http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/03/04/colombia.venezuela/index.html?eref=edition - Huh?
2008-03-04 15:24 * TheWeasel goes by things offensive to [[Thomas Bowdler]]
2008-03-04 15:24 < Sfan00> OK OK It was me that said take it #politics :(
2008-03-04 15:24 * Cyrius hands Sfan00 the hypocrisy hat
2008-03-04 15:24 < Sfan00> Oh
2008-03-04 15:24 < Golbez> huh that's interesting
2008-03-04 15:24 < Sfan00> Cyrius: hmm
2008-03-04 15:24 < TheWeasel> Well, the FARC has gotten quite a bit of dough from Chavez.
2008-03-04 15:24 < Sfan00> There's a claim that Chavez funded 'terror' as well going round is thier not?
2008-03-04 15:25 < Golbez> I didn't know Obama lectured at the Univ of Chicago
2008-03-04 15:25 < Golbez> that means he could have been exposed to the Chicago School
2008-03-04 15:25 < Golbez> hm
2008-03-04 15:25 < Sfan00> It's of course well known that the US doesn't like Chavez's policy agenda
2008-03-04 15:25 < TheWeasel> He's too young for that.
2008-03-04 15:25 < Golbez> (i have been linked http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=2693 which is interesting)
2008-03-04 15:25 < Lubaf> Golbez: Weird as it may sound, he might be a Chicago School liberal.
2008-03-04 15:25 < Lubaf> No, really.
2008-03-04 15:25 < Golbez> Lubaf- meaning?
2008-03-04 15:26 < Cyrius> I find the Colombian claim that FARC was trying to build a dirty bomb interesting
2008-03-04 15:26 < Lubaf> Golbez: I like a cheap joke.
2008-03-04 15:26 < Golbez> Oh.
2008-03-04 15:26 < TheWeasel> there was a lot of neoconservatism going on in Chicago circles
2008-03-04 15:26 < Golbez> =p
2008-03-04 15:26 < TheWeasel> i.e. messianic liberalism
2008-03-04 15:26 < Golbez> messi... the hell is that?
2008-03-04 15:26 < Sfan00> Cyrius: Hmm As in where were they going to get the radioactive material from?
2008-03-04 15:26 < Golbez> do we have an article? no! we don't!
2008-03-04 15:26 < Lubaf> And, that he understand economics.
2008-03-04 15:26 < TheWeasel> well, spreading freedom with the sword
2008-03-04 15:26 < Golbez> Sfan00- There are claims Chavez helped them obtain 50kg of uranium
2008-03-04 15:26 < Sfan00> And why would a group like FARC uses WMD tactics
2008-03-04 15:26 < gwern> Cyrius: it's an obvious attempt to get US aid
2008-03-04 15:27 < scorchsaber> TheWeasel: And here was me thinking it was liberals who believed in the messiah.
2008-03-04 15:27 < TheWeasel> Chicago School and "understanding economics" aren't easily compatible.
2008-03-04 15:27 < Sfan00> when groups like ETA and the PIRA did not?
2008-03-04 15:27 < TheWeasel> Hm?
2008-03-04 15:27 < Cyrius> gwern: obvious? no. probable? yes.
2008-03-04 15:27 < Lubaf> TheWeasel: Or at least, understanding that the rules should be simple.
2008-03-04 15:27 < Sfan00> gwern: You are saying the columbians are trying to pull a stunt?
2008-03-04 15:27 < Golbez> Rafael Correa looks like he's a budding Chavist.
2008-03-04 15:27 < gwern> 'our terrororists, who have nothing to do with your terrorists, are planning to build a dirty bomb! give us moneyz pls kthznxbai'
2008-03-04 15:27 < Golbez> Though there appears to still be hope for him.
2008-03-04 15:27 < gwern> Sfan00: yes
2008-03-04 15:27 < shimgray> I love this sort of thing. "You need to help us beat these people up." "Uh... we're kind of busy" "HUGO CHAVEZ gave them, er, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION" "Oh, why didn't you say so?"
2008-03-04 15:27 < TheWeasel> There are always fine solutions that are simple, easily applied and wrong.
2008-03-04 15:28 < shimgray> it's so transparently silly
2008-03-04 15:28 < Sfan00> Besdies where would Chaves get Uranian?
2008-03-04 15:28 < gwern> nigeria of course
2008-03-04 15:28 < scorchsaber> He'd get Uranians from Uran.
2008-03-04 15:28 < gwern> they have all sorts of yellowcake they'd like to seel you
2008-03-04 15:28 < TheWeasel> From Uranus. Or someone else's.
2008-03-04 15:28 < Sfan00> gwern: The Yellowcake is a LIE? ;)
2008-03-04 15:28 < gwern> mmm.. yellowcake...
2008-03-04 15:29 < Sfan00> ( ZOMG :( I am using Portal misquotes for political satire :( )
2008-03-04 15:29 < scorchsaber> Sfan00: That's bad. :O
2008-03-04 15:29 < Golbez> the yellowcake is delicious and moist
2008-03-04 15:29 < Sfan00> scorchsaber: You were aware of the Dodgy Dossier row a while back?
2008-03-04 15:29 < gwern> portal with GWB... 'while your polls are falling - I'll be, still alive. While you're kicked out of office - i'll be still alive. still alive...'
2008-03-04 15:30 < scorchsaber> Sfan00: Actually, no
2008-03-04 15:30 < Sfan00> Ah..
2008-03-04 15:30 < scorchsaber> Sfan00: I'll go look it up
2008-03-04 15:30 < scorchsaber> In, where else, Wikipedia. ;)
2008-03-04 15:30 < shimgray> doesn't everyone know you can just conjure yellowcake out of thin air these days?
2008-03-04 15:30 < gwern> Golbez: look at us still talking when there's invading to do!
2008-03-04 15:30 < Sfan00> I think Wikipedia has some coverage about the 'Yellowcake' issue
2008-03-04 15:30 * TheWeasel is off to get more coffee, cause coffee consumption tested well in selected focus groups
2008-03-04 15:31 < scorchsaber> Sfan00: Oh, that
2008-03-04 15:31 < shimgray> gwern: funny, they always just seem to have baskets full of money they want to sell me
2008-03-04 15:31 < TheWeasel> Nigergate.
2008-03-04 15:31 < scorchsaber> Sfan00: I didn't know the name, but I do remember the hubub.
2008-03-04 15:31 < gwern> shimgray: they have a diverisifed economy donchanknow
2008-03-04 15:31 < Sfan00> If you allegge a terror/sepratist/partisan group has WMD capatbility the US help you.... :)
2008-03-04 15:32 < Sfan00> Even if you are the most odious of regimes...
2008-03-04 15:32 < Golbez> Sfan00- the US was already assisting Colombia, heavily
2008-03-04 15:32 < Sfan00> Yeah
2008-03-04 15:32 < Golbez> it's not like they needed anything new
2008-03-04 15:32 < Sfan00> but they don't like a Left Wing group inside thier borders?
2008-03-04 15:32 < gwern> Golbez: don't you know? too much money is never enough
2008-03-04 15:32 * gwern goes to go have lunch
2008-03-04 15:33 < Sfan00> is FRAC really left wing - or just pusedo left wing to justify para-milltary terror?
2008-03-04 15:33 < Sfan00> *FARC?
2008-03-04 15:33 < TheWeasel> terror is never an end in itself
2008-03-04 15:33 < scorchsaber> You don't need to be left wing to justify things, except with the left-wingers. :P
2008-03-04 15:33 < TheWeasel> I think it's an economic enterprise, frankly.
2008-03-04 15:34 < Sfan00> FARC is supposedly a partisan group is it not? ( And vaugley communist?)
2008-03-04 15:34 < scorchsaber> TheWeasel: I disagree. I've seen plenty of people do things solely to terrorize.
2008-03-04 15:34 < TheWeasel> without an ulterior motive?
2008-03-04 15:34 < Sfan00> scorchsaber: Even Abortion clinic bombers had a motive
2008-03-04 15:34 < TheWeasel> it certainly is rare
2008-03-04 15:34 < scorchsaber> TheWeasel: eg when you threaten somebody with, say, a knife, just to see them freak out
2008-03-04 15:34 < TheWeasel> that might be the definition of pure evil
2008-03-04 15:34 < TheWeasel> evil for its own sake
2008-03-04 15:34 < Sfan00> Even physco-bombbers like the Unsbomber had a political motive
2008-03-04 15:34 < TheWeasel> well yea
2008-03-04 15:35 < TheWeasel> but that'd be for some kind of personal benefit
2008-03-04 15:35 < Golbez> "Barack Obama is a strong civil libertarian, a strong supporter of separation of church and state, and has economic views which are influenced by the University of Chicago." hm
2008-03-04 15:35 < Sfan00> Most terrorist groups are not terrorists because they want to cause terror
2008-03-04 15:35 < TheWeasel> huh
2008-03-04 15:35 < scorchsaber> TheWeasel: There's always a personal benefit
2008-03-04 15:35 < TheWeasel> of course they want it, just not for its own sake
2008-03-04 15:35 < Sfan00> but because they (wrongly) see terror as a means of gaining political onjectives...
2008-03-04 15:35 < TheWeasel> scorchsaber: That's what I'm saying.
2008-03-04 15:35 < scorchsaber> TheWeasel: FOr instance, the whole "terrorize with a knife" thing is amusing to the terrorizer
2008-03-04 15:35 < Sfan00> *objectives or compromises
2008-03-04 15:36 < TheWeasel> Why "wrongly"?
2008-03-04 15:36 < TheWeasel> It works quite nicely at times.
2008-03-04 15:36 < scorchsaber> It depends what you want
2008-03-04 15:36 < Sfan00> Terror rarely achives political objectives...
2008-03-04 15:36 < Sfan00> Look at the IRA, ETA etc...
2008-03-04 15:36 < Golbez> uh
2008-03-04 15:36 < TheWeasel> I wouldn't call the assumption wrong in itself I guess
2008-03-04 15:37 < Golbez> a building collapsed in New York?
2008-03-04 15:37 < Golbez> a five story vacant apartment building
2008-03-04 15:37 < Golbez> pff, i was hoping for like a skyscraper
2008-03-04 15:37 < Sfan00> Golbez: recently?
2008-03-04 15:37 < Golbez> just hitting CNN now
2008-03-04 15:37 < scorchsaber> Golbez: heh, "hoping"
2008-03-04 15:37 < Sfan00> Link ?

2008-03-04 15:37 < Golbez> "five story vacant apartment building collapses at E 124th St near Park Ave in New York"
2008-03-04 15:37 < TheWeasel> I thought that was some weird reference to 9/11 as a success for terrorism
2008-03-04 15:37 < Golbez> no link, CNN
2008-03-04 15:37 < TheWeasel> in achieving political objectives
2008-03-04 15:38 < Sfan00> It didn't
2008-03-04 15:38 < Sfan00> At least not the ones it hoped to
2008-03-04 15:39 < TheWeasel> Not sure what you think they hoped to achieve.
2008-03-04 15:39 < Golbez> the cookies taste like hope: http://i29.tinypic.com/mr5vzb.jpg
2008-03-04 15:39 < TheWeasel> seeing how they never made any demands.
2008-03-04 15:39 < Sfan00> TheWeasel : What about all the videos?
2008-03-04 15:39 < TheWeasel> That was after the invasion
2008-03-04 15:39 < Sfan00> and the general trend that Al Qeada had been persuing?
2008-03-04 15:40 < TheWeasel> COOKIES WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
2008-03-04 15:40 < TheWeasel> Well, if their purpose was to get the western world in a way that made the Arab world turn against it, it was a pretty decent success.
2008-03-04 15:40 < TheWeasel> *to act
2008-03-04 15:42 < TheWeasel> Most terrorist groups want to lure the enemy into a spiral of violence where they can later claim that the enemy started it.
2008-03-04 15:42 < TheWeasel> the RAF certainly did
2008-03-04 15:42 < Golbez> TheWeasel- si se puede
2008-03-04 15:42 < Sfan00> Which RAF?
2008-03-04 15:42 < TheWeasel> the Red Army Faction
2008-03-04 15:42 < Sfan00> Ah OK
2008-03-04 15:42 < TheWeasel> when someone pointed out to a RAF terrorist that there wasn't really much of a police state out there, he went to shoot a policeman, and looka there, there was a police state the next day.
2008-03-04 15:43 < TheWeasel> then they said "we need to fight the police state"
2008-03-04 15:43 < Sfan00> A simmilar tactic to that used by some far-right groups in respect of thier claimed aim of starting a race war? ;)
2008-03-04 15:43 < Sfan00> :(
2008-03-04 15:44 < TheWeasel> Their theories of race create a situation in which they feel scared from the beginning
2008-03-04 15:44 < TheWeasel> so a trigger like that is not really necessary
2008-03-04 15:44 < TheWeasel> for them
2008-03-04 15:44 < Sfan00> Hmm...
2008-03-04 15:46 < Sfan00> Anyway on something else entirly
2008-03-04 15:46 < Sfan00> Anyone got opinions on whether is should start stubs for every CFF film?
2008-03-04 15:46 < Sfan00> *I
2008-03-04 15:47 < Golbez> CFF?
2008-03-04 15:47 < AdamBishop> you should not.
2008-03-04 15:48 < Golbez> Cambodian Freedom Fighters?
2008-03-04 15:48 < Golbez> Children's Film Founoh. That's probably it. Film.
2008-03-04 15:51 < Sfan00> Golbez: CFF = Childrend Film Foundation...
2008-03-04 15:52 < Sfan00> *Childrens
2008-03-04 15:52 < Ral315> [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost]] updated.
2008-03-04 15:52 < Daniel_Bush> Oh, hi
2008-03-04 15:52 < Golbez> yay Ral315
2008-03-04 15:52 < Golbez> wow
2008-03-04 15:52 < Golbez> this is a big one
2008-03-04 15:53 < Ral315> Yeah; that's why it ran so late.
2008-03-04 15:53 * Cyrius wonders what's in it
2008-03-04 15:53 < Cyrius> oh look, crazy woman
2008-03-04 15:54 < NotASpy> CFF - Cheese Fondue Foundation ?
2008-03-04 15:54 < Cyrius> Chilean Flatbread Frontier
2008-03-04 15:55 < LordMetroid> #politics was really really boring!
2008-03-04 15:56 < Daniel_Bush> Usually whenever I go to #politics, they're calling Obama a Commie "sand nigger"
2008-03-04 15:56 < LordMetroid> Quite appropiate
2008-03-04 15:56 < Starnestommy> Most freenode users advise against going there
2008-03-04 15:56 < Starnestommy> even most staff do
2008-03-04 15:56 < Messedrocker> Daniel_Bush, but he's a regular nigger
2008-03-04 15:56 < Daniel_Bush> "Elven users apply for bureaucratship"
2008-03-04 15:56 < Golbez> I used to hang out in #politics on DALNet.
2008-03-04 15:56 < LordMetroid> hehe, I advice you not to go there
2008-03-04 15:56 < Golbez> Yikes.
2008-03-04 15:57 < Cyrius> "Casu marzu is a cheese found in Sardinia, Italy, notable for being riddled with live insect larvae."
2008-03-04 15:57 < Daniel_Bush> Can Legolas be Wikimedia chair?
2008-03-04 15:57 < Cyrius> well, there goes my stomach contents
2008-03-04 15:57 < LordMetroid> Messedrocker: Hu? They all look alike those politicians!
2008-03-04 15:57 < Golbez> Cyrius- what the christ
2008-03-04 15:58 < Golbez> how the hell do people think of doing this
2008-03-04 15:58 < Cyrius> my guess, it started out as a dare
2008-03-04 15:58 < Golbez> "You know, cheese is really awesome, but I think we can maybe improve it... by adding maggots!" "BRILLIANT!"
2008-03-04 15:59 < Daniel_Bush> Leck mich im Arsch and Casu marzu are the most encyclopedic April Fool's Day entries
2008-03-04 15:59 < Sfan00> MessedRocker; Please don't use the N word
2008-03-04 15:59 < Cyrius> a bunch of cheesemakers got drunk and dared each other to eat rotten cheese
2008-03-04 15:59 < Messedrocker> Sfan00, I was just modifying what Bush said.
2008-03-04 15:59 < Messedrocker> Bush as in Daniel Bush
2008-03-04 15:59 < Sfan00> MessedRocker: some peopl may find it offensive.
2008-03-04 15:59 < Daniel_Bush> Seriously, #politics is corrupting your mind
2008-03-04 15:59 < Messedrocker> No shit, Santa Claus?
2008-03-04 15:59 * kibble would advise against those topics here, perhaps in #uncyclopedia instead
2008-03-04 15:59 < Cyrius> Sfan00: t hat was the whole point of his using it
2008-03-04 16:00 < Daniel_Bush> When I said "sand nigger" I had it in quotation marks, as in they were saying it, and I didn't call him that myself, which you did...don't joke about it, please
2008-03-04 16:00 < Cyrius> he's not joking, he's just trying to find a reason to be offended
2008-03-04 16:00 < Golbez> wow
2008-03-04 16:00 < Golbez> i spent 2 minutes in #politics
2008-03-04 16:00 < Golbez> and it makes my brain feel like a lump of cheese being pooped in by maggots
2008-03-04 16:00 < kenlyric> sorry
2008-03-04 16:00 < Daniel_Bush> 3 hours until Vermont and Rhode Island results come in
2008-03-04 16:00 < kenlyric> it's nothing compared to undernet #politics
2008-03-04 16:01 < Starnestommy> is there a quakenet #Politics ?
2008-03-04 16:01 < kenlyric> OH GOD
2008-03-04 16:01 < Golbez> quakenet is the world's largest irc network
2008-03-04 16:01 < kenlyric> no, the universe hasn't ended
2008-03-04 16:01 < Golbez> you bet there's a politics channel!
2008-03-04 16:01 < kenlyric> that's not possible
2008-03-04 16:01 < kenlyric> that's not possible
2008-03-04 16:01 < Golbez> kenlyric what
2008-03-04 16:01 < Cyrius> kenlyric: search your heart, you know it to be true
2008-03-04 16:01 < kenlyric> the universe would end if you created a vortex of stupidity like quakenet #politicis
2008-03-04 16:02 < kenlyric> since when is quakenet the largest?
2008-03-04 16:02 < Messedrocker> <Cyrius> he's not joking, he's just trying to find a reason to be offended << who me?
2008-03-04 16:02 < Golbez> kenlyric- for years
2008-03-04 16:02 < Starnestommy> kenlyric: since several years ago
2008-03-04 16:02 < shimgray> Golbez: what proportion of words said were "Ron Paul"?
2008-03-04 16:02 < Cyrius> Messedrocker: no, Sfan
2008-03-04 16:02 < Golbez> "QuakeNet is the largest IRC network, with peak user counts close to 120,000 every day and over 120,000 channels."
2008-03-04 16:02 < kenlyric> horrible
2008-03-04 16:02 < Golbez> shimgray- none. they were talking about how ronald reagan didn't end the cold war, and maybe the cold war is still going on
2008-03-04 16:02 < kenlyric> like AOL still being the largest ISP
2008-03-04 16:02 < Cyrius> is it? still!?
2008-03-04 16:02 < Golbez> doing so in 8th grade leetspeek
2008-03-04 16:02 < Golbez> it was horrible
2008-03-04 16:03 < Starnestommy> comcast is worse as an ISP than AOL
2008-03-04 16:03 < Starnestommy> well, almost
2008-03-04 16:03 < Cyrius> comcast is more evil
2008-03-04 16:03 < kenlyric> it's userbase is more varied though
2008-03-04 16:03 < Starnestommy> but AOL is full of morons and spamers
2008-03-04 16:03 < Messedrocker> Golbez, I doubt it's going on still but it can pop up again someday
2008-03-04 16:03 < kenlyric> yeah, like quakenet
2008-03-04 16:03 < shimgray> Cyrius: it's all a commie plot to lull you into a false sense of security, and then, bam! out comes the USSR again.
2008-03-04 16:03 < Golbez> i love ron paul :(
2008-03-04 16:03 < Starnestommy> so is Comcast, but there are more average people
2008-03-04 16:03 < kenlyric> man, I need to spend time on quakenet #politics. Maybe i'm not immune to the internet enough.
2008-03-04 16:03 < Messedrocker> Golbez loves regress!
2008-03-04 16:04 < Golbez> Messedrocker- haw
2008-03-04 16:04 < Golbez> no, I love freedom. If freedom is regression, then we be in 1984.
2008-03-04 16:05 < TheWeasel> Back
2008-03-04 16:05 < Starnestommy> someone should elect the invisible pink unicorn as president
2008-03-04 16:05 < TheWeasel> Freedom/sometimes/I feel/like a mo-hotherless child/
2008-03-04 16:05 < Messedrocker> no
2008-03-04 16:05 < Messedrocker> we should elected ralph wiggum
2008-03-04 16:05 < Starnestommy> "I blew up Russ-i-a"
2008-03-04 16:06 < Golbez> "McCain tried to persuade FIFA to ban Iran from the 2006 World Cup[15] given Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Holocaust denial (such denials are illegal in Germany, where the competition was held)." crafty
2008-03-04 16:06 < TheWeasel> that's a legal stretch.
2008-03-04 16:06 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-03-04 16:06 < TheWeasel> They went out early anyway
2008-03-04 16:06 < LordMetroid> Whatever!
2008-03-04 16:06 < Golbez> i know, since it's doubtful Ahmadinejad would go personally
2008-03-04 16:07 < TheWeasel> He chose not to try
2008-03-04 16:07 < TheWeasel> people were kind of alarmed before .
2008-03-04 16:08 < TheWeasel> But we've seen a match Iran vs. USA in 2002.
2008-03-04 16:08 < TheWeasel> Since few people in the US care about football (soccer), that didn't cause much of a stir
2008-03-04 16:08 < Cyrius> vote pastafarian
2008-03-04 16:10 < Golbez> hm
2008-03-04 16:10 < Golbez> mccain has some good ideas too wrt health care
2008-03-04 16:10 < Golbez> i haven't been this conflicted before :(
2008-03-04 16:10 < Golbez> i don't want to vote L this time!
2008-03-04 16:11 < Messedrocker> bomb bomb bomb
2008-03-04 16:11 < Messedrocker> bomb bomb iran
2008-03-04 16:11 * TheWeasel votes for Pedro
2008-03-04 16:11 < Cyrius> you can strike mccain off the list for crazy foreign policy
2008-03-04 16:11 < shimgray> health care will, you know, probably get debated a bit. wait to see what they conclude
2008-03-04 16:11 < TheWeasel> As the Welsh say "Help, help me, Rhondda".
