2008-03-05 21:36 < TheWeasel> but all in all there isn't as much culture warring over appointments
2008-03-05 21:36 < TheWeasel> maybe because the positions of liberals and conservatives here are generally closer to each other
2008-03-05 21:37 < TheWeasel> right now they're trying to appoint someone uncritical of anti-terror measures to replace a left-winger though

2008-03-05 22:01 < arceus_fan|opwat> i meant to chose opwatch as status

2008-03-05 22:05 * fajro is listening to So Long & Thanks for All the Fish by The R'SVP Voices on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy [Amarok]
2008-03-05 22:06 < arceus_fan|opwat> scary indeed
2008-03-05 22:06 < arceus_fan|opwat> i will make a #norules channel
2008-03-05 22:06 < nwahsadude> why is that scary?
2008-03-05 22:08 < arceus_fan|opwat> i made a no rules channel
2008-03-05 22:09 < scorchsaber> arceus_fan|opwat: there's no such thing
2008-03-05 22:09 < scorchsaber> arceus_fan|opwat: the rules at a minimum include following the laws of the country the servers are in.
2008-03-05 22:09 < scorchsaber> (eg no sharing child pornography)
2008-03-05 22:09 < bumm13> rules aren't really the same thing as laws
2008-03-05 22:10 < scorchsaber> bumm13: laws are a subset of rules.
2008-03-05 22:10 < scorchsaber> bumm13: all laws are rules, not all rules are law.
2008-03-05 22:10 < bumm13> "subset" is probably not the right way of putting it
2008-03-05 22:10 < scorchsaber> bumm13: I think it's perfectly appropriate.
2008-03-05 22:11 < scorchsaber> Then again, I hold the statement following it to be true.
2008-03-05 22:11 < scorchsaber> If you don't, then obviously it's not a subset. :P
2008-03-05 22:11 < scorchsaber> in your opinion. :P
2008-03-05 22:11 < bumm13> honestly, I don't really care all that much one way or the other
2008-03-05 22:12 < quanticle> Laws are the subset of rules for which there are strict penalties for violation, given some value of strict.
2008-03-05 22:12 < scorchsaber> Neither do I, but I enjoy arguing.
2008-03-05 22:12 < scorchsaber> quanticle: There may be alternative definitions. I prefer laws being defined as rules set down by the government for its people.
2008-03-05 22:12 < quanticle> scorchsaber: That works also.
2008-03-05 22:13 < Messedrocker> hmm
2008-03-05 22:13 < Messedrocker> the SS-4 form asks for a trade name
2008-03-05 22:13 * Messedrocker goes to look that up
2008-03-05 22:14 < quanticle> What is the SS-4 form?
2008-03-05 22:15 < Messedrocker> to register for a FEIN
2008-03-05 22:16 < Therapist_Cat> MOAR CATZ!
2008-03-05 22:18 < nwahsadude> what is the best cellphone?
2008-03-05 22:18 < Messedrocker> a jailbroken iPhone
2008-03-05 22:18 < Messedrocker> or, a Nokia E70
2008-03-05 22:19 < nwahsadude> an iphone is cool
2008-03-05 22:19 < nwahsadude> but it is missing to many things
2008-03-05 22:19 * Ceiling_Cat watches Messedrocker
2008-03-05 22:19 < nwahsadude> like 3rd party apps
2008-03-05 22:19 < Messedrocker> Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-05 22:19 < Messedrocker> i have a theme song for you
2008-03-05 22:20 < Messedrocker> nwahsadude, that's what jailbreaking is for
2008-03-05 22:20 < nwahsadude> i know
2008-03-05 22:20 < Messedrocker> Ceiling_Cat, your theme song is "Eye in the Sky" by The Alan Parsons Project
2008-03-05 22:20 < quanticle> Messedrocker: You mean the jailbreaking that leads to bricking?
2008-03-05 22:20 < Messedrocker> quanticle, no, that's unlocking
2008-03-05 22:20 < Therapist_Cat> Messedrocker - amusing. Not a bad fit either :)
2008-03-05 22:21 * Lubaf hands Messedrocker enough rope.
2008-03-05 22:21 < Messedrocker> unlocking is haxoring the baseband to allow you to use another network.
2008-03-05 22:21 < Messedrocker> because that's such extreme low-level stuff, you run the risk of bricking your phone
2008-03-05 22:21 < Messedrocker> jailbreaking is exploiting holes to gain access to the filesystem. that's at a relatively superficial level
2008-03-05 22:22 < Therapist_Cat> I just got an email from my douche of a senator
2008-03-05 22:22 < Messedrocker> and the worst case scenario with a botched jailbreak is that you do system restore and you put all your stuff back on your phone through the backup iTunes does
2008-03-05 22:22 < Therapist_Cat> I wrote him to tell him I'd never vote for him again because he voted to give telecom companies immunity
2008-03-05 22:23 < Therapist_Cat> he wrote back with a form letter explaining the background for the vote, and explaining nothing about his position
2008-03-05 22:23 < Messedrocker> respond to the form letter
2008-03-05 22:23 < Therapist_Cat> Please do not respond to this email. To send another message please visit my website at http://carper.senate.gov/aemail.cfm and fill out the webform for a prompt response. Thank you.

2008-03-05 22:24 < quanticle> Therapist_Cat: Send a paper letter
2008-03-05 22:27 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - see pm
2008-03-05 22:28 < Lubaf> Ceiling_Cat: Can I interest you in enough rope?
2008-03-05 22:28 * Therapist_Cat doesn't need rope
2008-03-05 22:28 < Therapist_Cat> erm
2008-03-05 22:28 < Therapist_Cat> Wrong client ;)
2008-03-05 22:28 * Therapist_Cat definitely needs wrope
2008-03-05 22:28 < Therapist_Cat> rope, even
2008-03-05 22:29 < Lubaf> Not even to string somebody deserving (say, yourself) up with?
2008-03-05 22:30 < Lubaf> Anyway.
2008-03-05 22:30 < Lubaf> How's hows?
2008-03-05 22:31 < Lubaf> "Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?"
2008-03-05 22:31 < zocky> Messedrocker, you could write them and tell them that they can automate replies to emails too
2008-03-05 22:31 < Cyrius> The Rapist Cat is offensive
2008-03-05 22:31 < Alkivar> i'll take the rapists for 1000 alex
2008-03-05 22:31 * Therapist_Cat likes the double entendre
2008-03-05 22:32 < Therapist_Cat> Alkivar - everyone always forgets the best part of that whole sketch
2008-03-05 22:32 < Messedrocker> Alkivar Cat is spinning them discs
2008-03-05 22:32 < Cyrius> the penis mightier?
2008-03-05 22:32 < Alkivar> brown_cat_nap: whats the best part in your opinion?
2008-03-05 22:32 < Ral315> Anal Bum Cover.
2008-03-05 22:32 < Therapist_Cat> "Well it looks like it's my lucky day. I'll take The Rapists for 100"
2008-03-05 22:32 < Alkivar> ack
2008-03-05 22:32 < Messedrocker> "the penis mightier than the sword"
2008-03-05 22:32 < Therapist_Cat> "That's Therapists, Mr. Connery"\
2008-03-05 22:32 < Therapist_Cat> The sketch is 1000x funnier with that preceeding line
2008-03-05 22:33 < Ral315> I had a CS professor a few years back who was in his last year of teaching, and didn't care about any complaints he might get.
2008-03-05 22:33 < Ral315> So we convinced him to let us show a few of those sketches after a mid-term.
2008-03-05 22:33 < quanticle> Op test

2008-03-05 22:34 < Messedrocker> can't they remove his pancreas?
2008-03-05 22:35 < Messedrocker> but then he'll have diabetes!
2008-03-05 22:35 < fajro> pancreatic cancer! poor :-(
2008-03-05 22:35 < Cyrius> chemo don't hurt.
2008-03-05 22:35 < Alkivar> at least it wasnt cancer of the eyeball

2008-03-05 22:35 < Therapist_Cat> "I would like to submit a photo of my Prince Albert piercing"
2008-03-05 22:35 < Ral315> Dear Lord.
2008-03-05 22:35 < Cyrius> Healy had cancer of the everything
2008-03-05 22:35 < Ral315> Remind me why I want to join the OTRS team.
2008-03-05 22:36 < Therapist_Cat> Ral315 - the photo submission queue is a *lot* less horrible than the rest
2008-03-05 22:36 < Messedrocker> Ral315, your assistant Gerald Lord is telling me you wanted to join the OTRS team so you could be of assistance
2008-03-05 22:36 < Therapist_Cat> although it does occasionally get some zany ones
2008-03-05 22:36 < quanticle> Cyrius: You mean leukemia?
2008-03-05 22:37 < Therapist_Cat> Nooooooooo!
2008-03-05 22:37 < Therapist_Cat> Wikipedia doesn't allow the blink tag?

2008-03-05 22:38 < Alkivar> <span style="text-decoration: blinking"> text </span>
2008-03-05 22:38 < Therapist_Cat> Cyrius - Bob Marley died of toe cancer

2008-03-05 22:39 < Messedrocker> no Therapist_Cat, he was assassinated by the government
2008-03-05 22:39 < quanticle> Cyrius: Ah. I was going for the, blood cancer == cancer of everything play.

2008-03-05 22:43 < Ceiling_Cat> today someone neglected to read the text, and that was the final straw
2008-03-05 22:43 * Not_the_NSA wonders what FA chaos would happen if Ceiling_Cat left/went on vacation O_o
2008-03-05 22:43 * quanticle thinks Ceiling_Cat should take a wikibreak just to see
2008-03-05 22:44 < Messedrocker> Not_the_NSA, if Ceiling Cat went on vacation, he'd have the FAs assigned in advance
2008-03-05 22:44 < Not_the_NSA> Today's Featured Article: User:Jimbo
2008-03-05 22:44 < quanticle> Most likely, one of us would get sick of the chaos and take over.

2008-03-05 22:46 < Ceiling_Cat> Not_the_NSA - kicking someone with a higher access level than you is never a good idea

2008-03-05 23:04 < privatemusings> didn't he run the now defunct spanking wiki?
2008-03-05 23:05 < privatemusings> or was that supposed to be a secret.....?
2008-03-05 23:05 < privatemusings> ;-)

2008-03-05 23:24 < Mike_H> Chris Andersen rejoins New Orleans Hornets after 2 years out of NBA on drug suspension

2008-03-05 23:26 < Mike_H> What a dumb name
2008-03-05 23:27 < Mike_H> No, the dumbest name is "Utah Jazz." You're not in New Orleans anymore
2008-03-05 23:27 < Mike_H> you can rename your team
2008-03-05 23:27 < Mike_H> damn
2008-03-05 23:27 < The359> They named it after the team founder
2008-03-05 23:27 < The359> Also the owner of BET television
2008-03-05 23:28 < Krimpet> I figure jazz would be banned in Utah, it's the devil's music
2008-03-05 23:28 < The359> Robert "Bob" L. Johnson
2008-03-05 23:31 < The359> Memphis retains the name Grizzlies, even though I'm sure there aren't that many Grizzlies in the area
2008-03-05 23:41 < Messedrocker> the nintendo DS's logo is intriguing
2008-03-05 23:41 < Messedrocker> it's not very video gamey
2008-03-05 23:44 < The359> What logos are video gamey?
2008-03-05 23:44 < Alkivar> n64
2008-03-05 23:44 < Alkivar> atari
2008-03-05 23:44 < The359> how is N64 gamey?
2008-03-05 23:44 < The359> it's an N cube
2008-03-05 23:45 < Messedrocker> yeah
2008-03-05 23:45 < Alkivar> its 3d! and in 4bit color
2008-03-05 23:45 < Messedrocker> lol
2008-03-05 23:45 < Messedrocker> just like the N64 itself ;)
2008-03-05 23:45 < Messedrocker> but really
2008-03-05 23:45 < Messedrocker> the nintendo DS's logo looks like
2008-03-05 23:45 < Messedrocker> not a video game
2008-03-05 23:45 < The359> it looks like the system
2008-03-05 23:45 < Messedrocker> the gamecube has an especially videogamey logo
2008-03-05 23:46 < Alkivar> dreamcast logo was kinda video gamey
2008-03-05 23:46 < The359> that's just another cube
2008-03-05 23:46 < Leslie_S> dreamcast logo was more linuxey than anything
2008-03-05 23:46 < The359> wtf defines "Video gamey"?
2008-03-05 23:46 < Alkivar> 3DO had a gamey logo
2008-03-05 23:46 < Messedrocker> The359, it somehow encapsulates video game style/culture
2008-03-05 23:47 < The359> how does the GameCube cube encapsulate a video game style?
2008-03-05 23:49 < Messedrocker> it's high tech-like
2008-03-05 23:49 < Messedrocker> and edgy-looking
2008-03-05 23:50 < The359> it's a cube
2008-03-05 23:50 < FastLizard4|busy> yes it's a cube
2008-03-05 23:50 < FastLizard4|busy> wut are u going to do 'bout it?

2008-03-06 00:04 < gwern> offhand, anyone remember the sister program to MKULTRA?
2008-03-06 00:05 < gwern> 'Although useful information was sometimes obtained through questioning subjects on LSD, not uncommonly the most marked effect would be the subject's absolute and utter certainty that they were able to withstand any form of interrogation attempt, even physical torture.' <-- lol

2008-03-06 02:35 < Ceiling_Cat> brown_cat has 2 eyes, 4 paws, a tail, and brown_cat fur
2008-03-06 02:35 < Ceiling_Cat> brown fur*
2008-03-06 02:35 < Ceiling_Cat> so that makes him functionally equivalent to a weasel
2008-03-06 02:37 < r00m_c> and weasle rymes with measle.
2008-03-06 02:37 * Ceiling_Cat gets the grease
2008-03-06 02:37 < r00m_c> Thus we are all going to get sick
2008-03-06 02:38 < Ceiling_Cat> if he's equivalent to a weasel, then The Rules (TM) demand that we grease him up
2008-03-06 02:38 < r00m_c> oic,
2008-03-06 02:38 * r00m_c did not know of The Rules (TM)

2008-03-06 02:56 < IoIfunnyhaha> Hello, #wikipedia.
2008-03-06 02:56 < R_enwiki> Hey guys.
2008-03-06 02:56 < IoIfunnyhaha> I think Wikipedia is stealing images from my site, http://brightgirls.net/
2008-03-06 02:56 < The359> I think not
2008-03-06 02:57 < IoIfunnyhaha> Why?
2008-03-06 02:57 < R_enwiki> o.O
2008-03-06 02:57 < The359> if your images were on Wikipedia, someone uploaded them
2008-03-06 02:57 < The359> Wikipedia themself does not seek them out and upload them
2008-03-06 02:58 < laughingman> are you upset that your images were on wikipedia?
2008-03-06 02:58 < IoIfunnyhaha> Well, YOUR SITE has images FROM MY SITE that are COPYWRITTEN BY ME.
2008-03-06 02:58 < Luna-San> IoIfunnyhaha: Which images, or where are they used?
2008-03-06 02:58 < The359> your sight doesn't actually have photographs, from what I see
2008-03-06 02:58 < The359> it's just a linking sight
2008-03-06 02:58 < The359> with thumbnails from galleries
2008-03-06 02:58 < IoIfunnyhaha> http://85.17.109.48/brigh.files/1181720493514775-14.jpg is the one I'm specifically concerned with at the moment, but there are likely others scattered out THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SITE.
2008-03-06 02:58 < Luna-San> IoIfunnyhaha: No, where is it on Wikipedia?
2008-03-06 02:59 < IoIfunnyhaha> It's on Mediawiki!
2008-03-06 02:59 < laughingman> indeed... what image are you talking about funny
2008-03-06 02:59 < The359> that's not an answer
2008-03-06 02:59 < Luna-San> IoIfunnyhaha: Link.
2008-03-06 02:59 < The359> Link to where it is
2008-03-06 02:59 < Mike_H> The359: Reign in

2008-03-06 02:59 < Mike_H> stand at attention
2008-03-06 02:59 < Luna-San> IoIfunnyhaha: You need to link the image on Wikipedia or I'm going to kick you from this channel.
2008-03-06 02:59 < R_enwiki> Guys.
2008-03-06 03:00 < IoIfunnyhaha> Oh! Wait a minute!

2008-03-06 03:00 < R_enwiki> Hai?

2008-03-06 03:00 < R_enwiki> Fantastically awesome.
2008-03-06 03:00 < R_enwiki> I got a little bit of CP.
2008-03-06 03:00 < thinh191> hello
2008-03-06 03:00 < laughingman> good to hear, wait what's CP?
2008-03-06 03:00 < R_enwiki> Which is just what I needed.
2008-03-06 03:01 < R_enwiki> Captain Picard?
2008-03-06 03:01 < laughingman> hello thinh191
2008-03-06 03:01 < laughingman> how do you get a little bit of Captain Picard?
2008-03-06 03:01 < thinh191> what will be discussed today?
2008-03-06 03:01 < R_enwiki> Figure it out.
2008-03-06 03:01 < R_enwiki> ;)
2008-03-06 03:01 < laughingman> helpful and informative, :-P
2008-03-06 03:01 < laughingman> i see
2008-03-06 03:02 * The359 can already see this ending wonderfully
2008-03-06 03:02 < laughingman> nah, this is the first time i've been in this channel. I haven't used IRC in about a decade.
2008-03-06 03:02 < R_enwiki> So, I'm pretty convinced that we have a problem here.
2008-03-06 03:02 < The359> spam would be my guess
2008-03-06 03:02 < R_enwiki> I think some of the stewards are planning to delete the "biased" articles.
2008-03-06 03:03 < The359> oh, another problem
2008-03-06 03:03 < laughingman> what are we talking about?
2008-03-06 03:04 < thinh191> ask and answer! laughingman
2008-03-06 03:04 < R_enwiki> Well, some fanatical groups are thinking of lobbying wikipedia to remove some "biased" articals.
2008-03-06 03:05 < Luna-San> Oh?
2008-03-06 03:05 < laughingman> who's to say whats bias?
2008-03-06 03:06 < thinh191> is irc have auto answer bot?
2008-03-06 03:06 < The359> that was a bit overdue
2008-03-06 03:06 < Werdna> Krimpet: +b *!i=cf6666e0@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/*
2008-03-06 03:06 * Krimpet has been in other channels :p
2008-03-06 03:06 < laughingman> what fanatical groups are we talking about specifically r_enwiki?
2008-03-06 03:07 < The359> you might want to kick IoIfunnyhaha
2008-03-06 03:07 < The359> same user
2008-03-06 03:07 < Werdna> omg op powa
2008-03-06 03:07 < Werdna> etc
2008-03-06 03:07 < Krimpet> done. :)
2008-03-06 03:07 < Ral315> Anyone use mibbit legitimately?
2008-03-06 03:07 < laughingman> whats mibbit?
2008-03-06 03:08 < Ral315> An ajax IRC client.
2008-03-06 03:08 < Luna-San> eotteds in here is on it, too; same for a handful on freenode
2008-03-06 03:08 < laughingman> huh, i just use Xchat for linux
2008-03-06 03:09 < richardus> Krimpet, are you an ircop
2008-03-06 03:09 < TheLetterE_away> gosh
2008-03-06 03:09 < TheLetterE_away> :(
2008-03-06 03:09 < OverlordQ> can you just ban his realname?
2008-03-06 03:09 < Ral315> Haha
2008-03-06 03:09 < TheLetterE_away> keep it real man
2008-03-06 03:09 < TheLetterE_away> clear and simple :)
2008-03-06 03:09 < Krimpet> richardus: no
2008-03-06 03:09 < Ral315> I don't believe mibbit allows you to.
2008-03-06 03:09 < TheLetterE_away> Well, mibbit is gone from here.
2008-03-06 03:09 < TheLetterE_away> for now, anyway. or at least 24hrs.
2008-03-06 03:10 < Ral315> Let's see if we have any complaints about mibbit.
2008-03-06 03:10 < thinh191> is there someone vietnamese?
2008-03-06 03:10 < Ral315> I don't see any reason to allow mibbit unless they change the service to allow a way to block individual users.
2008-03-06 03:10 < laughingman> there are plenty of vietnamese people in vietnam i'd imagine.
2008-03-06 03:10 < laughingman> :-P
2008-03-06 03:10 < TheLetterE_away> Ral315: Indeed.
2008-03-06 03:10 < TheLetterE_away> But this will do for now :)
2008-03-06 03:11 < OverlordQ> umm, you can
2008-03-06 03:11 < laughingman> why are you looking for someone from vietnam thinh191?
2008-03-06 03:11 < OverlordQ> use +d
2008-03-06 03:11 < thinh191> Im vietnamese!
2008-03-06 03:11 < TheLetterE_away> OverlordQ: We need simple bans :)
2008-03-06 03:11 * Krimpet will remove her own ops <_<
2008-03-06 03:11 < OverlordQ> if you use mibbit the user's IP is in their realname field, +d sets a ban on realname
2008-03-06 03:11 < TheLetterE_away> thinh191: OverlordQ:
2008-03-06 03:12 < TheLetterE_away> oops
2008-03-06 03:12 < laughingman> do you live in vietnam, or are you just vietnamese?
2008-03-06 03:12 < OverlordQ> I dont see how simpler that could get :)
2008-03-06 03:12 < TheLetterE_away> OverlordQ: dircbot does not appreciate +d; therefore it is oblique to us.
2008-03-06 03:12 < TheLetterE_away> Otherwise, we would use it :)
2008-03-06 03:12 < OverlordQ> ah, somebody should fix dircbot then :P
2008-03-06 03:13 < TheLetterE_away> Krimpet: Sorry :(
2008-03-06 03:13 < thinh191> dircbot is bot?
2008-03-06 03:13 < nadis> what's bot ?

2008-03-06 03:13 < Ral315> thinh191: You can try #wikipedia-vi -- it's the official channel of the Vietnamese Wikipedia. But there's only one other user there.
2008-03-06 03:13 < Ral315> thinh191: The odds are, you won't find any Vietnamese users here.
2008-03-06 03:14 < TheLetterE> Hey Miranda
2008-03-06 03:14 < Miranda> hi TheLetterE, how are you?

2008-03-06 03:14 < TheLetterE> Miranda: Good thanks, yourself?
2008-03-06 03:14 < Ral315> This is the channel for all Wikipedias.
2008-03-06 03:14 < TheLetterE> TheLetterE: This is the general Wikipedia channel.
2008-03-06 03:14 < Miranda> TheLetterE: that's good...
2008-03-06 03:14 < Ral315> But in practice, most conversation here is in English.

2008-03-06 03:16 < laughingman> The LetterE : fair enough, so lets talk please, otherwise i'm going to have to actually pay attention to what is on the sci-fi channel.. it's some show about dinosaurs.
2008-03-06 03:16 < Ral315> thinh191: You might search for an IRC server with more Vietnamese users.

2008-03-06 03:37 < laughingman> I like wikipedia though, it's a great resource. My hats off to the community that supports it. I've learned much from it.
2008-03-06 03:47 < Luna-San> See that. Somebody compliments us and we go all quiet.
2008-03-06 03:47 < Miranda> Luna-San: most of us are zzz...

2008-03-06 03:48 * Mike42 didn't get invited either, if it's any consolation
2008-03-06 03:48 < Luna-San> I think we need to form our own cuddle cabal.
2008-03-06 03:48 < Mike42> wha? secretly control the world.. through cuddling?
