2008-03-09 00:12 < bumm13> indeed
2008-03-09 00:12 < E_Wing> Eeew
2008-03-09 00:12 < uberpenguin> everyone around here is sick, I'm washing my hands like someone with OCD

2008-03-09 00:13 < bumm13> my eyes!
2008-03-09 00:13 < uberpenguin> GNOME has keybindings for them too
2008-03-09 00:13 < bumm13> uberpenguin: this virus deal has held on for over 2 weeks now
2008-03-09 00:13 < Messedrocker> excellent
2008-03-09 00:13 < mavhk> accents are easy on every os that isn't windows
2008-03-09 00:13 < uberpenguin> though it's not as if 'uberpenguin' is really germanic, so I guess it was done purely for your own amusement
2008-03-09 00:15 < SWATJester> messedrocker, how on the mac?
2008-03-09 00:16 < SWATJester> oh wow
2008-03-09 00:16 < Messedrocker> alt-u
2008-03-09 00:16 < uberpenguin> bumm13: thus far I've managed not ot get ill this season
2008-03-09 00:16 * Krimpet keeps ☃ bound within easy reach
2008-03-09 00:16 < SWATJester> öh
2008-03-09 00:16 < SWATJester> are there any others?

2008-03-09 00:16 < uberpenguin> well, aside for a freak bone infection which wasn't really preventable...
2008-03-09 00:16 < SWATJester> à î
2008-03-09 00:16 < SWATJester> hmm
2008-03-09 00:16 < uberpenguin> that hardly counts as an illness, though
2008-03-09 00:16 < SWATJester> nice
2008-03-09 00:16 < SWATJester> thx
2008-03-09 00:16 < Messedrocker> SWATJester, are you adjacent to new york
2008-03-09 00:16 < bumm13> yeah, this one is a nasty one
2008-03-09 00:17 < SWATJester> messedrocker: DC, so a short busride
2008-03-09 00:17 < bumm13> it was harder on my mom
2008-03-09 00:17 < bumm13> she had to go see a doctor
2008-03-09 00:17 < Messedrocker> SWATJester, would you like to go to a 3/16 new york meetup?
2008-03-09 00:17 < Miranda|away> hi SWATJester, are you well from your illness?
2008-03-09 00:17 < bumm13> her right (?) ear got totally plugged up with fluid
2008-03-09 00:17 < bumm13> and had to be drained
2008-03-09 00:18 < SWATJester> miranda: No. Messedrocker: I want to but I can't, I'll be out of town until the 15th, and then working on my law review submission until the 18th, so I won't have time
2008-03-09 00:18 < Miranda|away> SWATJester: :-(
2008-03-09 00:19 < uberpenguin> lovely... she caught it from you or vice versa or just coincidental?
2008-03-09 00:19 < bumm13> I caught it from her
2008-03-09 00:19 < SWATJester> Miranda: [[Rheumatoid arthritis]]
2008-03-09 00:19 < Messedrocker> SWATJester has rheumatoid arthritis?
2008-03-09 00:19 < SWATJester> yep
2008-03-09 00:19 < Messedrocker> :(
2008-03-09 00:20 < E_Wing> Tsk
2008-03-09 00:20 < bumm13> and since it's viral, there's nothing I can do but wait for it to die down on its own
2008-03-09 00:21 < SWATJester> got diagnosed last week
2008-03-09 00:21 < E_Wing> SWATJester: Hope you get well
2008-03-09 00:22 < Messedrocker> screw the webmd commercials
2008-03-09 00:22 < CAT> sdk is downloadin now :)
2008-03-09 00:22 < Messedrocker> i'mma look up rheumatoid arthritis on WIKIPEDIA
2008-03-09 00:22 < NotAPolecat> Sup.
2008-03-09 00:22 < SarahEmm> once a page is deleted, is there any way to look at the former-content, or is it gone? it was deleted for non-notability 4mos ago, and i want to make sure i'm including significantly more than the deleted one..
2008-03-09 00:22 < SWATJester> E_Wing: it's incurable, but it can be treated into remission
2008-03-09 00:22 < bumm13> hiya Weaselcat
2008-03-09 00:22 < Messedrocker> SarahEmm, admins can provide you with the deleted content
2008-03-09 00:22 < SarahEmm> ahh. even if it wasn't originally my content though?
2008-03-09 00:22 < Krimpet> SarahEmm: we can restore it for you if you'd like, so you can build upon it
2008-03-09 00:23 < NotAPolecat> hey.
2008-03-09 00:23 < E_Wing> Looks like someone's waging a jihad on wikipedia.
2008-03-09 00:23 < SarahEmm> there's been a bunch of mainstream news articles on it recently, so afaict it's notable/verifiable enough..
2008-03-09 00:23 < SarahEmm> Krimpet: ok, how do i request that?
2008-03-09 00:23 < NotAPolecat> sorry bout the diagnosis, mate, best of luck to thee
2008-03-09 00:23 < Krimpet> SarahEmm: what article? I can do it now :)
2008-03-09 00:24 < NotAPolecat> anyway
2008-03-09 00:24 < SarahEmm> Krimpet: Ravelry
2008-03-09 00:24 < uberpenguin> bumm13: things have been pretty busy for me... I've been working like mad on my theremin project, making arrangements to move to NC, and looking into buying a motorcycle :3
2008-03-09 00:24 < NotAPolecat> *Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant
2008-03-09 00:25 < Krimpet> SarahEmm: done. :)
2008-03-09 00:25 < SarahEmm> Krimpet: awesome! thanks much :)
2008-03-09 00:25 < SarahEmm> err. heh. no content on it at all
2008-03-09 00:25 < E_Wing> Although I want to agree with him that all articles on wiki must be semi-protected
2008-03-09 00:25 < SarahEmm> i guess my new version definitely has more notability then ;)
2008-03-09 00:25 < NotAPolecat> I was just aout to call SWATJester "brother in law", but I'm nowhere near contributing to law reviews.
2008-03-09 00:25 < NotAPolecat> *b
2008-03-09 00:25 < Messedrocker> haaa
2008-03-09 00:25 < NotAPolecat> *plays acoustic
2008-03-09 00:25 < E_Wing> hahaha
2008-03-09 00:26 < NotAPolecat> Sunday mornings are awesome, even without Nico
2008-03-09 00:27 < SWATJester> lol
2008-03-09 00:27 < yao_ziyuan> i come here to report that i have found the motive that powered me at my best times in the past
2008-03-09 00:27 * NotAPolecat is happy about the good shape of law articles on de.
2008-03-09 00:28 < yao_ziyuan> it is the "young hero" spirit
2008-03-09 00:28 < NotAPolecat> holy shit, shyness is not one of your sins.
2008-03-09 00:28 < NotAPolecat> lol
2008-03-09 00:29 < NotAPolecat> my chess engine just gave a mating move a question mark
2008-03-09 00:29 < NotAPolecat> and suggested *another* mating move
2008-03-09 00:29 < NotAPolecat> Admittedly, his is prettier.
2008-03-09 00:29 < yao_ziyuan> it is also the crazy spirit
2008-03-09 00:30 < yao_ziyuan> imagine letting a thousand rambos riot
2008-03-09 00:30 < Krimpet> NotAPolecat: are you sure you aren't building a dog-breeding simulator by mistake?
2008-03-09 00:30 < NotAPolecat> "prettiness" defined as "preferring to mate with the most minor available piece"
2008-03-09 00:30 < NotAPolecat> oh god, my last statement would sound horrible in a dog context
2008-03-09 00:30 < E_Wing> By the way, does anyone here engage in gunpla?
2008-03-09 00:30 < NotAPolecat> :-D
2008-03-09 00:30 < yao_ziyuan> LET A THOUSAND RAMBOS BE!
2008-03-09 00:30 < Krimpet> if there's a whole lot of matin' going on <_<
2008-03-09 00:30 < NotAPolecat> Yea, mating patterns...
2008-03-09 00:30 < SWATJester> gunpla?
2008-03-09 00:31 < E_Wing> Gundam plastic models
2008-03-09 00:31 < E_Wing> There's an article on wiki
2008-03-09 00:31 < Cat_in_Black> Krimpet would it be controversial for me to categorise Northern france as soulthern England?
2008-03-09 00:31 < NotAPolecat> "Black finds a very piercing mating attack"
2008-03-09 00:31 < Cat_in_Black> would such a thing be reverted?
2008-03-09 00:32 < Krimpet> Cat_in_Black: sounds like it. :)
2008-03-09 00:32 < NotAPolecat> Yea. Because it's southern Belgium.
2008-03-09 00:32 < Cat_in_Black> Krimpet I see
2008-03-09 00:32 < Cat_in_Black> what if I do so w/o sources
2008-03-09 00:32 < E_Wing> SWATJester: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpla
2008-03-09 00:32 * Krimpet stays away from everything nationalistic on WP :p
2008-03-09 00:32 < Cat_in_Black> or any logical explanation?
2008-03-09 00:32 < NotAPolecat> It is simply wrong
2008-03-09 00:32 < NotAPolecat> no nationalism there
2008-03-09 00:33 < SWATJester> oh. No.
2008-03-09 00:33 < SWATJester> thought you meant gunplay.
2008-03-09 00:33 < NotAPolecat> just like northern Poland is not eastern Germany.
2008-03-09 00:33 < E_Wing> Ah ok
2008-03-09 00:33 < Miranda|away> SWATJester: have you heard of Army of Two?
2008-03-09 00:33 < NotAPolecat> Less yet southern Lithuania.
2008-03-09 00:33 < Cat_in_Black> NotAPolecat you would oppose such a categorization?
2008-03-09 00:33 < SWATJester> in fact, I'm playing it right now miranda
2008-03-09 00:33 < Cat_in_Black> if I create an article on southern Lithuania
2008-03-09 00:33 < NotAPolecat> I would.
2008-03-09 00:34 < NotAPolecat> if you said
2008-03-09 00:34 < miranda> SWATJester: wow, where did you get your game?
2008-03-09 00:34 < NotAPolecat> err...
2008-03-09 00:34 < NotAPolecat> for instance
2008-03-09 00:34 < SWATJester> best buy
2008-03-09 00:34 < Cat_in_Black> and talk about how northen polandis actualy lithuanian
2008-03-09 00:34 < miranda> SWATJester: wow
2008-03-09 00:34 < Cat_in_Black> I have a similar situation
2008-03-09 00:34 < miranda> SWATJester: how much was it? curious....
2008-03-09 00:34 < NotAPolecat> "Palanga is a town in northeastern Germany currently administered by Lithuania"
2008-03-09 00:34 < SWATJester> hell if I remember, I think like 50 bucks
2008-03-09 00:34 < Krimpet> Cat_in_Black: do any of these, and you'll quickly be blocked for POINTyness ;)
2008-03-09 00:34 < Cat_in_Black> NotAPolecat more like
2008-03-09 00:34 < NotAPolecat> that would be a decidedly bad move
2008-03-09 00:35 < Cat_in_Black> "Palanga is a town in northeastern Germany"
2008-03-09 00:35 < miranda> SWATJester: ok
2008-03-09 00:35 < NotAPolecat> STOLEN I SAY, by Lithuania.
2008-03-09 00:35 < NotAPolecat> :-/
2008-03-09 00:35 < NotAPolecat> I remember battling Nico on that issue.
2008-03-09 00:35 < SWATJester> its not too bad, single player is kinda meh, but coop is hella fun
2008-03-09 00:35 < NotAPolecat> that was in 2004-
2008-03-09 00:35 < Cat_in_Black> would you help me in dealing with such an issue NotAPolecat?
2008-03-09 00:36 < bumm13> did you battle Lou Reed too?
2008-03-09 00:36 < NotAPolecat> not sure I'm a fair negotiator in this.
2008-03-09 00:36 < SWATJester> although I'll probably replay the single player a bit because it's short, and the "earn money to buy and pimp out more guns" aspect of it is fun
2008-03-09 00:36 < NotAPolecat> SHE'S TSHAST A LIT-L TEE-HEESE
2008-03-09 00:36 < NotAPolecat> SHE'S A FEM FAY TAL
2008-03-09 00:36 < bumm13> :D
2008-03-09 00:36 < Krimpet> bumm13: that would be taking a walk on the wild side, wouldn't it.
2008-03-09 00:36 < NotAPolecat> here accent is hawt
2008-03-09 00:36 < bumm13> I suppose
2008-03-09 00:37 < bumm13> wasn't she from Germany?
2008-03-09 00:37 < Cat_in_Black> NotAPolecat I dont need a negitiator
2008-03-09 00:37 * bumm13 NP: Blue Öyster Cult - Astronomy (1974)
2008-03-09 00:37 < NotAPolecat> I made a promise when I reached my second day on Wikipedia that I'd forthwith stay away from everything to do with Gdansk/Danzig
2008-03-09 00:37 < NotAPolecat> She was.
2008-03-09 00:38 < jdh6403> whats this about army of two
2008-03-09 00:38 < bumm13> ?
2008-03-09 00:38 < Cat_in_Black> NotAPolecat on articles concerning iraq, iran, turkey, syria, armenia or even azerbaijan
2008-03-09 00:38 < NotAPolecat> forget it
2008-03-09 00:38 < Cat_in_Black> there...
2008-03-09 00:38 < NotAPolecat> I'm mad enough all by myself
2008-03-09 00:38 < Cat_in_Black> fine
2008-03-09 00:38 < NotAPolecat> sorry
2008-03-09 00:38 < NotAPolecat> :-)
2008-03-09 00:38 < Cat_in_Black> no one wants to even hear me out
2008-03-09 00:38 < jdh6403> SWATJester, u have army of two
2008-03-09 00:38 < NotAPolecat> I like to keep my sanity (or what little is left)
2008-03-09 00:38 < SWATJester> jdh: Miranda asked me if I heard of it, and I told her I was playing it right now
2008-03-09 00:38 < Cat_in_Black> and they expect me to help
2008-03-09 00:38 < jdh6403> any good?
2008-03-09 00:39 < NotAPolecat> I might or might not agree with you
2008-03-09 00:39 < jdh6403> it got pretty crappy reviews
2008-03-09 00:39 < NotAPolecat> I'm just not touching those issues with a stick
2008-03-09 00:39 < SWATJester> im enjoying it
2008-03-09 00:39 < SWATJester> it's really a MP game
2008-03-09 00:39 < Cat_in_Black> Krimpet would you dare block me for WP:POINT?
2008-03-09 00:39 < jdh6403> ahhh
2008-03-09 00:39 < jdh6403> i see
2008-03-09 00:39 < Cat_in_Black> I am very tempted to mark categories randomly
2008-03-09 00:39 < SWATJester> but the weapon customization in single player is very good
2008-03-09 00:39 < NotAPolecat> Mornington Crescent is the only game in the world worth playing.
2008-03-09 00:39 < NotAPolecat> That and chess.
2008-03-09 00:39 < SWATJester> so while it's kinda bleh in single player, it's pretty, and I'll tolerate it to pimp out my guns
2008-03-09 00:39 < bumm13> Mornington Crescent sounds like a breakfast pastry
2008-03-09 00:40 < SWATJester> I'm saving up for the solid gold pimped out M249
2008-03-09 00:40 < NotAPolecat> you could try the breakfast pastry gambit.
2008-03-09 00:40 < jdh6403> lol
2008-03-09 00:40 < NotAPolecat> but you'd run into the Green Park - Farringdon Counterattack
2008-03-09 00:40 < Krimpet> Cat_in_Black: erm, yes, I would. please don't. :/
2008-03-09 00:41 < Cat_in_Black> can you take a look at a similar issue then
2008-03-09 00:41 < Cat_in_Black> or does everything only concern anybody only when I am involved directly
2008-03-09 00:41 < Krimpet> no, I really don't want to get involved in that nationalist edit warring.
2008-03-09 00:42 < Krimpet> but bragging in IRC about making POINTy edits in response is highly unwise.
2008-03-09 00:42 < jdh6403> SWATJester, miranda says youre former military
2008-03-09 00:42 < jdh6403> i was navy for 10 years
2008-03-09 00:42 < SWATJester> word. I was at USNA for about a week, but then I wised up and went army
2008-03-09 00:42 < Cat_in_Black> Krimpet I am not braging

2008-03-09 00:43 < Cat_in_Black> Krimpet so you would block me
2008-03-09 00:44 < Cat_in_Black> yet wouldnt even investigate this other guy
2008-03-09 00:44 < Cat_in_Black> I am flatered
2008-03-09 00:44 < Krimpet> Cat_in_Black: stop, please. you're really becoming disruptive here.

2008-03-09 00:48 < jdh6403> swat ya did 2 cruises a year or more
2008-03-09 00:48 < NotAPolecat> but Thunder Road is probably the best song ever written
2008-03-09 00:49 < jdh6403> NotAPolecat, i like that one but incident on 57th street or new york city serenade are top 2 for me
2008-03-09 00:49 < SWATJester> notapolecat, I like it too. There's a piano bar in georgetown where the guy does sing-along springsteen including thunder road
2008-03-09 00:49 < jdh6403> and if im in a jazzy mood a good live kittys back is killer
2008-03-09 00:49 < NotAPolecat> hah, I'm not on the level of admiring minor songs most yet
2008-03-09 00:50 < NotAPolecat> :-)
2008-03-09 00:50 < NotAPolecat> But I have time to learn
2008-03-09 00:50 < Messedrocker> i saw "piano bar" and thought of billy joel
2008-03-09 00:50 < jdh6403> the wild the innocent and the e street shuffle i highly recommend it his second album right before born to run
2008-03-09 00:51 < SarahEmm> Krimpet: thanks again for that. this is my first real WP editing (other than rving vandalism) so i'm still learning what to do. :)
2008-03-09 00:51 * SarahEmm heads off to sleep.
2008-03-09 00:51 < NotAPolecat> yea... I'll get it when my bank balance is right
2008-03-09 00:51 < NotAPolecat> :-)
2008-03-09 00:51 < Krimpet> SarahEmm: no problem, hope you decide to stay :)
2008-03-09 00:52 < SarahEmm> Krimpet: plan to :)
2008-03-09 00:56 < jdh6403> NotAPolecat, google jungleland torrents thats a site for springsteen concert bootlegs
2008-03-09 01:01 < NotAPolecat> sorry, was away
2008-03-09 01:01 < NotAPolecat> hm
2008-03-09 01:01 < NotAPolecat> on verra
2008-03-09 01:06 < Lubaf> [[Wikipedia:No porn, please, we're deletionists]]: I see a great need.
2008-03-09 01:10 * NotAPolecat scrolls down to "Sf" to check which way that debate on here would go
2008-03-09 01:11 < bumm13> hiya AdamBishop
2008-03-09 01:16 < AdamBishop> hi
2008-03-09 01:18 < bumm13> pwned :)
2008-03-09 01:26 < Xihix> halp
2008-03-09 01:26 < Xihix> is it daylight savings yet?
2008-03-09 01:27 < Starnestommy> in about 33 minutes on the East Coast
2008-03-09 01:27 < Xihix> why 2:00 AM?
2008-03-09 01:27 < Xihix> and not 12:00 AM?
2008-03-09 01:28 < Starnestommy> to keep the date from changing back and forth
2008-03-09 01:28 < NotAPolecat> yea but here they do it at bizarre times like 3.53
2008-03-09 01:28 < Xihix> weird.
2008-03-09 01:30 < NotAPolecat> weird, apparently I was wrong
2008-03-09 01:30 < NotAPolecat> maybe it was some other event that happened at an odd time
2008-03-09 01:45 < nokmar> anybody here read the new TIME magazine?
2008-03-09 01:45 < Messedrocker> yeah.
2008-03-09 01:45 < Messedrocker> Time naming "You" as Person of the Year
2008-03-09 01:45 < Messedrocker> what's WITH that
2008-03-09 01:45 < nokmar> wait
2008-03-09 01:46 < nokmar> isn't that about two years old
2008-03-09 01:46 < Messedrocker> one year
2008-03-09 01:46 < nokmar> I'm talking about the latest one
2008-03-09 01:46 < nokmar> "To Pay or Not to Pay"
2008-03-09 01:46 < Messedrocker> no, i haven't read that
2008-03-09 01:52 < Cirt> link to the article?
2008-03-09 01:53 < nokmar> none, I think
2008-03-09 01:53 < nokmar> it's in print
2008-03-09 01:53 < Cirt> oh

2008-03-09 02:02 < Lubaf> [[Wikipedia deletion process]]: I see a great need.
2008-03-09 02:03 < Messedrocker> [[Wikipedia the encyclopedia is decent but its community is a festering pile of AIDS]]: I see a great level of accuracy
2008-03-09 03:07 * NCC-1701 is now going to bed, good night!
2008-03-09 03:46 * Werdna tickles Riana
2008-03-09 03:46 < Riana> hi werdna
2008-03-09 03:46 < Werdna> did you end up being a bureaucrat?
2008-03-09 03:54 * CAT_ tickles Werdna
2008-03-09 04:14 < Riana> werdna: no, I did not
2008-03-09 04:37 < Werdna> Riana: ah, shame.
2008-03-09 04:37 < Werdna> Riana: similarly, I failed my driving test today :P
2008-03-09 04:38 < Riana> werdna: by 'consensus'? :P
2008-03-09 04:38 < Riana> Werdna: that sucks, dude. better luck next time
2008-03-09 04:38 < Werdna> that was time 2 :P
2008-03-09 04:39 * Werdna has the attitude "It's cheaper than a 1-hour driving lesson. May as well take them often until I pass"
2008-03-09 04:40 < brown_cat_> rofl
2008-03-09 04:40 < Riana> hah
2008-03-09 04:40 < Riana> oh dear
2008-03-09 04:40 < Werdna> mind you
2008-03-09 04:41 < Werdna> last time I had 2 fail items and lost 25 marks
2008-03-09 04:41 * brown_cat_ sneaks into the driving centre and changes Werdna's results to make him has
2008-03-09 04:41 < Werdna> this time I lost 14 marks and no fail items
2008-03-09 04:41 < Riana> I nearly failed my driving test, stupid reverse parallel parking D:
2008-03-09 04:41 < Werdna> haha
2008-03-09 04:41 < brown_cat_> hahahaahaha
2008-03-09 04:41 < Werdna> that got me
2008-03-09 04:41 < brown_cat_> I was just thinking
2008-03-09 04:41 < brown_cat_> how do women pass?
2008-03-09 04:41 < Riana> aww brown_cat_, you're sweet
2008-03-09 04:41 < Werdna> I put the car into first gear instead of reverse
2008-03-09 04:41 * Riana takes you out to be neutered
2008-03-09 04:41 < Werdna> and I parked too far in front of the car in front.
2008-03-09 04:41 < brown_cat_> O_o
2008-03-09 04:41 < Werdna> too far behind, rather.
2008-03-09 04:42 < Werdna> eek, too close behind
2008-03-09 04:42 * brown_cat_ takes Riana out to have her ovaries ripped out
2008-03-09 04:42 < Kamping_Kaiser> rofl
2008-03-09 04:42 < Riana> :O
2008-03-09 04:42 < brown_cat_> see how you like it birtch
2008-03-09 04:42 < Kamping_Kaiser> i'm starting to see why you failed it :p
2008-03-09 04:42 < Riana> dayum!
2008-03-09 04:42 < Riana> that's one feisty cat
2008-03-09 04:42 < Werdna> so there was only 50cm of space in front, butI'm supposed to do 1 meter.
2008-03-09 04:42 < Werdna> and then they're like RAR POSITIONING
2008-03-09 04:42 < Werdna> and RAR DON'T STALL
2008-03-09 04:42 < Werdna> and it ended up adding up to 14 points lost out of 104
2008-03-09 04:42 < Riana> oh, I didn't learn on a manual. I would've been thoroughly fucked if I did
2008-03-09 04:42 * brown_cat_ wants to try and hit people/see how many things he can hit when he goes on his driving test
2008-03-09 04:43 < Werdna> Riana: learning manual sucks, until this one moment
2008-03-09 04:43 < Werdna> when you're like HOLY CRAP I KNOW HOW TO USE A CLUTCH
2008-03-09 04:43 < Riana> heh
2008-03-09 04:44 < Werdna> and it's all good from there
2008-03-09 04:44 < Werdna> except when you do your test
2008-03-09 04:45 < Werdna> 3 hours of stall-free driving crash around your head when you stall three times in half an hour
2008-03-09 04:45 < Lycurgus> how long did it take?
2008-03-09 04:45 < Werdna> 40 minutes, give or take
2008-03-09 04:45 < Lycurgus> you didn't damage the clutch?
2008-03-09 04:46 < Werdna> i dunno.. I used to stall all the time
2008-03-09 04:46 < Werdna> I did an hour of hill starts once
2008-03-09 04:47 < Werdna> hey, at least I didn't do what I did in my first test
2008-03-09 04:47 < Werdna> let's just say they frown on it when you drive into a t-intersection when there's a car coming
2008-03-09 04:47 < Riana> lol
2008-03-09 04:47 < Werdna> he's like STOOOOOP
2008-03-09 04:47 < Werdna> and it goes down on your score sheet as "Action requiring testing officer intervention"
2008-03-09 04:49 < Werdna> although, that's such an assholeish criteria
2008-03-09 04:49 < Werdna> my friend failed because he got nervous and forgot his handbrake when pulling out at the very start
2008-03-09 04:49 < Werdna> and the officer was like "Your handbrake is on"
2008-03-09 04:50 < Werdna> and that meant he failed.
2008-03-09 04:50 < Werdna> even though he would have passed otherwise
2008-03-09 04:56 < Da_Big_Show> Is it true that Jimmy Wales was stealing Wikipedia donations?
2008-03-09 04:57 < brown_cat> Da_Big_Show: MHM
2008-03-09 04:58 < brown_cat> he used them to pay off his morgage
2008-03-09 04:58 < Da_Big_Show> mhm?
2008-03-09 04:58 < Werdna> eh?
2008-03-09 04:58 < Werdna> nobody tolded me that
2008-03-09 04:58 < E_Wing> Da_Big_Show: Where did you find that?
2008-03-09 04:58 < Werdna> {{sauce kthx}}
2008-03-09 04:59 < Da_Big_Show> It's all over the news
2008-03-09 04:59 < mavhc> wikipedia is just a giant scam to get money, can't you tell?
2008-03-09 05:00 < brown_cat> Da_Big_Show: then after he paid off his homeloan, he bought an audi - the rest of the funds he took was spent on travelling expenses around america
2008-03-09 05:00 < Werdna> brown_cat: sauce?
2008-03-09 05:01 < brown_cat> Werdna: foundation-l
2008-03-09 05:01 < E_Wing> Sorry, what's foundation-1?
2008-03-09 05:01 < brown_cat> foundation mailing list
2008-03-09 05:02 < E_Wing> Uh huh
2008-03-09 05:02 < E_Wing> Probably just a spam
2008-03-09 05:02 < brown_cat> nope, from jwales@wikia.com
2008-03-09 05:03 * Weaselosaurus is back from the most elaborate trolling in history
2008-03-09 05:03 < Weaselosaurus> not done by me
2008-03-09 05:03 < dragonflames> Weaselosaurus: CAN I JOIN!!!
2008-03-09 05:03 < Weaselosaurus> but yea
2008-03-09 05:03 < Weaselosaurus> it's over, I ignored her after three hours
2008-03-09 05:05 < Weaselosaurus> I think she took me for someone else she was holding a grudge on
2008-03-09 05:05 < E_Wing> So, is it already the start of downfall of wikipedia?
2008-03-09 05:05 < Weaselosaurus> in which case maybe she wasn't a troll, just generally mean-spirited
2008-03-09 05:06 < Aqwis> they've been saying that for ages, E_Wing
2008-03-09 05:06 < Aqwis> i can't see why *now*
2008-03-09 05:07 * Weaselosaurus is mad at self for having wasted time
2008-03-09 05:07 < E_Wing> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:78.151.138.255
2008-03-09 05:08 < E_Wing> Looks like he is blaming his child for his vandalism
2008-03-09 05:08 < E_Wing> Erm, looks like its too obvious
2008-03-09 05:08 < dragonflames> E_Wing: he calls his child a him and a her xD
2008-03-09 05:09 < E_Wing> Yup
2008-03-09 05:09 < dragonflames> "i have grtounded him from the pc till i can trust her"
2008-03-09 05:09 < E_Wing> And he said "... please unblock me"
2008-03-09 05:09 < Weaselosaurus> that's an awesome case of family liability
2008-03-09 05:09 < dragonflames> wow, that has to be the dumbest vandal ever
2008-03-09 05:10 < Weaselosaurus> he's punishing one child until the other is redeemed
2008-03-09 05:10 < dragonflames> hahaha rofl
2008-03-09 05:10 < jtizzle1854> I have a dish satellite DVR digital video recorder if i open the dvr up and take the harddrive out of it can i put it in my computer and then use it in my computer? it's a 120 gigabyte maxtor harddrive
2008-03-09 05:11 < E_Wing> Then he replaced the whole page with something else
2008-03-09 05:11 < E_Wing> Like "December 1978"
2008-03-09 05:12 < E_Wing> Looks like he travelled back in time with Wiki on tow
2008-03-09 05:12 < E_Wing> To the point where internet does not yet existed
2008-03-09 05:12 < E_Wing> lol
2008-03-09 05:13 < jtizzle1854> I have a dish satellite DVR digital video recorder if i open the dvr up and take the harddrive out of it can i put it in my computer and then use it in my computer? it's a 120 gigabyte maxtor harddrive does anyone know if i could use that harddrive?
2008-03-09 05:14 < E_Wing> jtizzle1854: Probably
2008-03-09 05:14 < jtizzle1854> ok i guess i'd have to have a windows xp boot disc because my harddrive i'm going to take out won't have windows xp loaded on it
2008-03-09 05:15 < jtizzle1854> is that right e wing?
2008-03-09 05:15 < E_Wing> If the harddrive of your PC and your DVR share the same properties and characteristics
2008-03-09 05:15 < jtizzle1854> what do you mean?
2008-03-09 05:15 < E_Wing> Although its best to consult your DVR manufacturer
2008-03-09 05:15 < E_Wing> about it
2008-03-09 05:16 < jtizzle1854> yeah i think they share the same properties and characteristics
2008-03-09 05:16 < jtizzle1854> any harddrive can be used in a dvr
2008-03-09 05:16 < jtizzle1854> and any harddrive can be used in a computer
2008-03-09 05:17 < SQLDb> jtizzle1854: that's not neccicarily true. My ReplayTV, for instance, only supports a few models, in it's bios
2008-03-09 05:17 < jtizzle1854> ok well maybe most of the time
2008-03-09 05:18 < SQLDb> Or, our 16-channel DVR that we use for security at work, only supports a few maxtor drives (I tried, my boss is cheap)
2008-03-09 05:18 < jtizzle1854> i wonder what operating system a dish dvr has i have a dish network satellite dvr
2008-03-09 05:18 < E_Wing> Sorry for my replies. I dont see any DVRs in this country.
2008-03-09 05:18 < SQLDb> It's a proprietary firmware, more than likely, don't they run [[TiVO]] anymore?
2008-03-09 05:19 < jtizzle1854> it's what?
2008-03-09 05:19 < SQLDb> jtizzle1854: more than likely tho, opening it'll void your warranty, and, in some extreme cases (depending on wether or not it has an open case switch), may make it inoperable
2008-03-09 05:20 < jtizzle1854> my warranty's already expired
2008-03-09 05:20 < SQLDb> ahh
2008-03-09 05:20 < SQLDb> can't hurt to try it then :)
2008-03-09 05:20 < jtizzle1854> i just need the harddrive
2008-03-09 05:20 < jtizzle1854> don't care about the dvr
2008-03-09 05:20 < SQLDb> ahh
2008-03-09 05:20 < jtizzle1854> going to send it back to dish network
2008-03-09 05:21 < jtizzle1854> just going to take out the harddrive and see if i can put the hefty 120 GB in my computer
2008-03-09 05:21 < E_Wing> Well good luck on that
2008-03-09 05:22 < E_Wing> Update on that idiot vandal: "ECCUSE ME! Don't be so rude! I was but went to get ready! NOW UNBLOCK ME AT ONCE!"
2008-03-09 05:22 < jtizzle1854> ok
2008-03-09 05:23 < E_Wing> So that means he's lying on the earlier post
2008-03-09 05:25 < mavhc> reply: ok, since you asked in all caps, I'll do it
2008-03-09 05:26 < E_Wing> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:78.151.138.255
2008-03-09 05:27 < SQLDb> E_Wing: hah
2008-03-09 05:28 < E_Wing> So, did anyone replied to him?
2008-03-09 05:28 < Werdna> brown_cat_: I can't see the massage from Jimmy
2008-03-09 05:28 < Werdna> brown_cat_: In fact, all I can see is leaked internal-l stuff
2008-03-09 05:28 < Weaselosaurus> Who massaged whom?
2008-03-09 05:29 < SQLDb> E_Wing: I did something, dunno if i'd call it replied :P
2008-03-09 05:29 < E_Wing> Nah
2008-03-09 05:29 < E_Wing> Its ok
2008-03-09 05:29 < E_Wing> Although I'll removed that unblock demand.
2008-03-09 05:30 < SQLDb> nah, it's all good
2008-03-09 05:31 < E_Wing> Well, ok
2008-03-09 05:32 * SQLDb points at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SQL/PlzFix is anyone's bored
2008-03-09 05:32 < SQLDb> aww, they both need deleted, nm
2008-03-09 05:33 < E_Wing> Ill delete them
2008-03-09 05:33 < SQLDb> heh, too late
2008-03-09 05:33 * SQLDb waits for the template to update
2008-03-09 05:34 < SQLDb> apparently, we miss a lot of blankings :(
2008-03-09 05:34 < E_Wing> Aw
2008-03-09 05:34 < E_Wing> too late
2008-03-09 05:34 < SQLDb> heh, sorry :P
2008-03-09 05:35 < E_Wing> Nah its ok
2008-03-09 05:35 < SQLDb> I'm gonna run it against the Category namespace, and, the Template namespace, too.... for the fun of it, may be mroe to delete in a moment
2008-03-09 05:53 < SQLDb> lol, ok, sticking to the main namespace is best, it seems
2008-03-09 05:54 < Werdna> so I have a new toolserver account, shiny
2008-03-09 05:54 < Werdna> any requests
2008-03-09 05:54 < SQLDb> Werdna: hehe, I've been playing with mine for about 2 days straight now too :P
2008-03-09 05:55 < Werdna> well, an old account
2008-03-09 05:55 < Werdna> I've had it for like forever

2008-03-09 05:56 < SQLDb> brown_cat: there was another API issue (affected my bots too), which caused false positives
2008-03-09 05:57 < brown_cat> SQLDb: fcuking API
2008-03-09 05:57 < SQLDb> brown_cat: it happens, not sure wjhy
2008-03-09 05:57 < SQLDb> the thing'll return nothing sometimes
2008-03-09 05:58 < SQLDb> E_Wing: haha 902 found. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SQL/PlzFix I'm not sure those *really* need deleted tho
2008-03-09 05:59 < SQLDb> in fact, they almost certaintly don't need to...
2008-03-09 05:59 < SQLDb> think I'll stick to NS0
2008-03-09 06:00 < zocky> "Most english-speaking internet users are in the US I think." <-- people think untrue stuff all the time
2008-03-09 06:01 < zocky> actually, if you take "most" to mean plurality, then maybe that's true
2008-03-09 06:01 < E_Wing> zocky: Well he said "I think", so that means it can be an opinion
2008-03-09 06:02 < zocky> E_Wing, yeah, and I think that bullets fly faster than light
2008-03-09 06:02 < zocky> but it's just an opinion, as you say
2008-03-09 06:03 < E_Wing> Tsk, no subtitled episodes yet
2008-03-09 06:03 < morwen> in that case "i think" is acting as an expression of uncertainty
2008-03-09 06:03 < morwen> rather than as an acknowledgement of subjectivity
2008-03-09 06:04 < zocky> morwen, right
2008-03-09 06:06 < E_Wing> Well, sorry about that

2008-03-09 06:59 < zocky> <<On 9 March, Associate Justice Joseph Story delivered the Court's decision. Article IX of Pinckney's Treaty was ruled off topic since the Africans in question were never legal property.>>
2008-03-09 06:59 < zocky> is "off topic" really the correct legal term?

2008-03-09 07:49 < NotACow> moo!
2008-03-09 07:49 < Mole2> Hi everyone. I just found out about this new great service for Wikipedia editors: http://stats.grok.se/
2008-03-09 07:50 < Mole2> It allows us to see how many visits a wikipedia page has.
2008-03-09 07:52 < NotACow> Mole2: yeah, my user pages gets a couple hundred visits a month even though it doesn't exist.
2008-03-09 07:53 < Mole2> NotACow: Hehe, yeah that is expected if you are an active editor leaving your name on many talk pages and watch lists.
2008-03-09 07:53 < NotACow> Mole2: i'm not an active editor.
2008-03-09 07:54 < Mole2> Then it is perhaps a bit weird.
2008-03-09 07:54 * NotACow hasn't edited wikipedia in months
2008-03-09 07:54 < Mole2> I tried many pages in http://stats.grok.se/ and the numbers I see there seem to be correct.
2008-03-09 07:54 < Mole2> That is, articles that I expect to get more visitors do get more visitors.
2008-03-09 07:55 < Mole2> NotACow: So, perhaps you should check "what links here" on your page to see if there is any funny link to your userpage or something?
2008-03-09 07:55 < Mole2> Oh, and of course, there perhaps is a number of visists from all the different search engine web crawlers out there?
2008-03-09 07:56 < NotACow> Mole2: frankly i don't care
2008-03-09 07:56 < Mole2> NotACow: I do get abou 190 visits per month on subpages that I didn't expect to get any hits at all.
2008-03-09 07:57 < Mole2> Yeah, doesn't matter how many page visits once user page gets.
2008-03-09 07:57 < NotACow> Mole2: it's amusng to me because it indicates dramaseeking
2008-03-09 07:58 < Mole2> Oh, what do you mean?
2008-03-09 07:58 < NotACow> one would only go looking at my deleted user page if one is actively seeking drama.
2008-03-09 07:58 < Mole2> Ah, okay.
2008-03-09 07:58 < Mole2> By the why was your user page deleted? You deleted it because you don't edit anymore?
2008-03-09 07:59 < NotACow> i had my user page and most subpages deleted
2008-03-09 07:59 < Mole2> Oh?
2008-03-09 08:02 < NotACow> i was tired of people using them as excuses to create drama.
2008-03-09 08:02 < NotACow> drama should be created for good reasons, not for stupid ones.
2008-03-09 08:04 < Mole2> You mean people were vandalising your user page? Since your talk page is of course still usable no matter how often you delete it.
2008-03-09 08:05 < Mole2> In my case the only ones that vandalise (delete/blank and change stuff) on my user page is admins. :((
2008-03-09 08:05 < NotACow> no, no
2008-03-09 08:06 < Mole2> And the odd thing is when I ask those admins why they blanked text on my user page or deleted a subpage in my user page they usually do not respond or respond rudely. But allmost never explain why they deleted it. :(
2008-03-09 08:07 < NotACow> Mole2: admins are evil.
2008-03-09 08:07 < Mole2> NotACow: Agreed, some of them are.
2008-03-09 08:08 < Mole2> Today when I checked my watchlist I saw that an admin had been doing personal testing by editing on [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. :))
2008-03-09 08:08 < NotACow> Mole2: you watchlist pages in mediawiki space?
2008-03-09 08:09 < Mole2> Yes, since I have been doing some work on those pages.
2008-03-09 08:09 < NotACow> weirdo
2008-03-09 08:09 < Mole2> That is, I have several times had my CSS code added to those pages.
2008-03-09 08:09 < Mole2> So I want to see what edits they do to "my" CSS code etc. :)
2008-03-09 08:10 < Mole2> And see what they say about that code on those talk pages.
2008-03-09 08:10 < Mole2> NotACow: And yeah, to code CSS and intricate template stuff probably qualifies me to be called a weirdo. :)
2008-03-09 08:11 < Mole2> (Gotta be pretty crazy to do stuff like that. :)
2008-03-09 08:12 < Mole2> Any way, I just popped in here today to tell about http://stats.grok.se/every one about this new great Wikipedia stats function that tells the number of visits per month
2008-03-09 08:12 < Mole2> Err!
2008-03-09 08:12 < Mole2> * Any way, I just popped in here today to tell about http://stats.grok.se/
2008-03-09 08:12 < Mole2> Now I am going back to editing and perhaps some breakfast. Nice talking to you NotACow.
2008-03-09 08:14 < NotACow> yay

2008-03-09 08:23 < NotACow> The359: wikipedia is on the rag?
2008-03-09 08:24 < The359> That was the implication, yes
