2008-03-09 22:00 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: how about this cats eye? http://www.flickr.com/photos/pengo-au/2067386995/
2008-03-09 22:00 < Ceiling_Cat> Me likey
2008-03-09 22:01 < pengo> so [[nurdle]] is the only article with a specific use of my new copyedit parameter
2008-03-09 22:01 < quanticle|away> Heh. I like this definition: Collateral Misinformation: When someone edits Wikipedia to win a specific argument, anyone else who reads the article before the entry is corrected suffers from collateral misinformation. Example: "I changed the scientific classification of red foxes last night in order to win an argument with Judy. I hope some stupid High School student didn't suffer from collateral misinformation."
2008-03-09 22:09 < Ceiling_Cat> Hrm
2008-03-09 22:09 < Ceiling_Cat> What's the definition of a false dependency?
2008-03-09 22:09 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: i dunno cause wikipedia doesn't
2008-03-09 22:09 < Ceiling_Cat> hehe
2008-03-09 22:10 < Ceiling_Cat> I need to improve that aspect of our computer science articles
2008-03-09 22:10 < pengo> perhaps i have a false dependency on wikipedia
2008-03-09 22:10 < Ceiling_Cat> If you have a variable, write to it, read it, rewrite it, and read it again
2008-03-09 22:10 < Ceiling_Cat> I think that is one example of a false dependency
2008-03-09 22:12 < Ceiling_Cat> grrr
2008-03-09 22:12 < Ceiling_Cat> I think I'm gonna need to pull out a book
2008-03-09 22:17 < pengo> people should go to urban dicitonary's nurdle page and give a thumbs up to "those little plastic pellets" definition http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nurdle
2008-03-09 22:25 < bumm13> hiya Demi
2008-03-09 22:29 < Demi> hi bumm13
2008-03-09 22:34 < Ceiling_Cat> AHA!
2008-03-09 22:34 * Ceiling_Cat has a very good memory
2008-03-09 22:35 < Ceiling_Cat> I knew I had read a definition before
2008-03-09 22:35 < Looooooooong_Cat> A false dependence (anti or output) exists between two operations when one must
2008-03-09 22:35 < Looooooooong_Cat> follow the other, not because the latter requires data produced by the former, but
2008-03-09 22:35 < Looooooooong_Cat> merely because the latter needs to reuse a storage location (register or memory cell)
2008-03-09 22:35 < Looooooooong_Cat> used by the former.
2008-03-09 22:36 < pengo> i see
2008-03-09 22:36 < pengo> and wikipedia doesn't have an article on that!!
2008-03-09 22:36 < pengo> OMG
2008-03-09 22:36 < Ceiling_Cat> [[Data dependency]]
2008-03-09 22:37 < Ceiling_Cat> [[False dependency]] should redirect there
2008-03-09 22:37 < pengo> and wikipedia doesn't have a redirect for that!!
2008-03-09 22:37 < pengo> i think it should get its own article
2008-03-09 22:37 < pengo> with a history
2008-03-09 22:37 < gwern> http://allswool.blogspot.com/2008/02/there-has-been-lot-of-controversy-about.html <-- puts a different cast on the whole Eloquence desysopping thing
2008-03-09 22:38 < Ceiling_Cat> the data dependence article already covers output and anti dependency
2008-03-09 22:38 < Ceiling_Cat> a false dependency is the union of the two
2008-03-09 22:38 < gwern> almost puts me in a mind to email fcelloguy & co. to ask whether wool is being truthful
2008-03-09 22:38 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: have you thumbed up my nurdle on UD?
2008-03-09 22:38 < Ceiling_Cat> huh?
2008-03-09 22:39 * Ceiling_Cat tries to parse that sentence and fails
2008-03-09 22:39 < kenlyric> snarf
2008-03-09 22:39 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: thumbed up = clicked on thumbs up button
2008-03-09 22:40 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: my nurdle = my definition of 'nurdle'
2008-03-09 22:40 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: UD = urban dictionary
2008-03-09 22:40 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: now put it all together
2008-03-09 22:40 < pengo> god damn i hate you all
2008-03-09 22:41 < Ceiling_Cat> I see
2008-03-09 22:42 < pengo> and you call yourself a ceiling dweller
2008-03-09 22:46 < NotACow> BLAPPPPPPPPPP!
2008-03-09 22:46 < pengo> there's no "false dependency" heading on the "Data dependency" article
2008-03-09 22:47 < pengo> NotACow: are you a cat too?
2008-03-09 22:48 < Ceiling_Cat> pengo - that's because it's the union of two of the things defined there
2008-03-09 22:49 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: so how's the person searching for it meant to know that?
2008-03-09 22:49 < Ceiling_Cat> someone will have to tweak the article
2008-03-09 22:49 < Ceiling_Cat> I might do it later
2008-03-09 22:49 < Ceiling_Cat> I'm busy at the moment
2008-03-09 22:49 < pengo> cats are lazy
2008-03-09 22:50 < Ceiling_Cat> No, this cat just happens to be revising his master's thesis at the moment
2008-03-09 22:50 < Ceiling_Cat> hence, the need for the definition of a false dependency
2008-03-09 22:52 < NotACow> pengo: i may or may not be a cat.
2008-03-09 22:52 < Rinn|BRAWL> I have discovered something!
2008-03-09 22:53 * NotACow steals whatever it was and publishes first.
2008-03-09 22:53 < Rinn|BRAWL> Playing an action game for seven hours causes achey hands.
2008-03-09 22:55 < Mark_Away> "action game", is that what they're calling it these days
2008-03-09 22:55 < AppleBoy> I am now very depressed
2008-03-09 22:55 < AppleBoy> I ran out of cd-r's and I can't seem to be able to use gparted
2008-03-09 22:55 < AppleBoy> or parted
2008-03-09 22:55 < AppleBoy> on mac os x
2008-03-09 22:57 < bumm13> hiya Mark_Ryan
2008-03-09 22:59 < NotACow> haha
2008-03-09 22:59 < NotACow> you suck!
2008-03-09 22:59 < bumm13> poor AppleBoy
2008-03-09 22:59 < Demi> i think NotACow was saying that to each of us, individually
2008-03-09 23:00 < NotACow> Demi: or perhaps collectively!
2008-03-09 23:00 < pengo> :(
2008-03-09 23:00 < pengo> welcome to #thesuckcollective
2008-03-09 23:11 < SportsMaster> Anyone here good at making templates?
2008-03-09 23:12 * NotACow is good at making poptarts, does that count?
2008-03-09 23:12 < MZMcBride> SportsMaster: What kind?
2008-03-09 23:13 < SportsMaster> The kind for example you would use in a College basketball team article
2008-03-09 23:13 < MZMcBride> An infobox?
2008-03-09 23:13 < MZMcBride> A navbox?
2008-03-09 23:13 < MZMcBride> A stub?
2008-03-09 23:13 < SportsMaster> They have templelates for College football and college basketball.. but not for college baseball and I wanted to create on like the one on the Nebraska page
2008-03-09 23:13 < SportsMaster> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebraska_Cornhuskers_baseball
2008-03-09 23:14 < SportsMaster> I want to turn that sidebar into a template
2008-03-09 23:15 < MZMcBride> Copy the code out of the article into a new template page.
2008-03-09 23:16 < MZMcBride> And then change any specific information, e.g., [[1869]], to a parameter, e.g., {{{year_founded}}}.
2008-03-09 23:16 < SportsMaster> One that can be used say like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_Bulldogs_men%27s_basketball on the right there
2008-03-09 23:16 < MZMcBride> Well that page is already using a template.
2008-03-09 23:17 < AppleBoy`> anyone have any recommendations for partitioning software that can work on OS X or windows that's not partition magic?
2008-03-09 23:18 < SportsMaster> I understand that..... it is using the college basketball version of the template.. I want to create a college baseball one
2008-03-09 23:18 < MZMcBride> Disk Utility?
2008-03-09 23:19 < MZMcBride> Then edit [[Template:Infobox CBB Team]] and copy the code to a new template.
2008-03-09 23:47 < Ceiling_Cat> thesis away!
2008-03-09 23:47 < Looooooooong_Cat> (just mailed my advisor an updated copy, so we can begin round 4 of revisions)
2008-03-09 23:52 < Ceogar> Haiy guys
2008-03-09 23:52 < FastLizard4> o_O
2008-03-09 23:52 < ceil420> i don't suppose you harvesters of random knowledge know what (V) means in an imdb entry? :o
2008-03-09 23:53 < Rinn> Violent?
2008-03-09 23:53 < Rinn> Vivacious?
2008-03-09 23:53 < Ceiling_Cat> VG means video game
2008-03-09 23:53 < ceil420> heh
2008-03-09 23:53 < Ceiling_Cat> V means....
2008-03-09 23:53 < Ceiling_Cat> video?
2008-03-09 23:53 < Rinn> Vexing?
2008-03-09 23:53 < ceil420> http://imdb.com/title/tt1166827/ <=- example
2008-03-09 23:53 < Rinn> Virtueless?
2008-03-09 23:53 < ceil420> ah, straight to video instead of a theatrical release?
2008-03-09 23:54 < Rinn> Vivid?
2008-03-09 23:54 < ceil420> (didn't even know zeitgeist was available on video tbh)
2008-03-09 23:54 < Looooooooong_Cat> According to [[Zeitgeist, the Movie]], it's a web film
2008-03-09 23:54 < ggreer> how did that piece of crap get 8.7/10?
2008-03-09 23:54 < Krimpet> oh god not that movie >.<
2008-03-09 23:54 < Looooooooong_Cat> so "video" might be right
2008-03-09 23:54 < ceil420> lol
2008-03-09 23:54 * Krimpet had a boatload of fun after closing an AfD on its article last year
2008-03-09 23:55 < FastLizard4> You always have boatloads of fun after closing any AfD
2008-03-09 23:55 * FastLizard4 notes that Looooooooong_Cat is uncloaked and records his IP address
2008-03-09 23:56 < FastLizard4> Ewwwwwwww, Comcast
2008-03-09 23:56 < Krimpet> FastLizard4: ...this was more. a few dozen conspiracy theorists started ganging up on me accusing me of being a tool of the Bush administration or somesuch
2008-03-09 23:56 < FastLizard4> X-D
2008-03-09 23:57 < FastLizard4> My response would be: "So freaking what if I am?
2008-03-09 23:57 < ggreer> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoiFGva_JoY
2008-03-09 23:58 < ggreer> man, conspiracy theorists suck
2008-03-09 23:58 < ggreer> ditto for ron paul supporters
2008-03-09 23:58 * ceil420 slaps ggreer around for a bit with a perl script
2008-03-09 23:58 < ceil420> Ron Paul > you
2008-03-09 23:58 < ceil420> (i'm not one of his frothing-at-the-mouth fans, but i do support him)
2008-03-09 23:58 < Hildanknight> Barack Obama > all the rest. :P
2008-03-09 23:58 < Ceiling_Cat> What's that? People had a genuine interest in this obscure subject matter? Yes, people were interested in the Elder Scrolls article. It had 81.7 thousand hits. The event mixed censorship standards, entertainment, and legal problems in an interesting way well presented by the article. Check out the ones before that: The Philadelphia Inquirer had 3.8k hits. Crusaders (Rugby had 6.9k hits. Josquin des Prez had 12.5k hits. Joseph Priestley had 15.6k
2008-03-09 23:59 < Ceiling_Cat> Motorway had 33.9k hits. Axis naval activity in Australian waters had 55k hits. Europa (moon) had 50k hits. Kinetoscope had 28k hits. Ban Ki-moon had 21.5k hits. East End of London had 37.9k hits. Rachel Carson had 30.8k hits. Bengali Language Movement had 14k hits. I'm already on February 20, and nothing has come close to 81.7 thousand hits.
2008-03-09 23:59 < Ceiling_Cat> interesting
2008-03-10 00:00 < ggreer> and as we all know, hits == notability
2008-03-10 00:00 < Ceiling_Cat> ggreer - "hits" in this case refers to the number of people clicking through the main page to see the article on the day it was the daily FA
2008-03-10 00:00 < Ceiling_Cat> so hits ~ interest in the topic
2008-03-10 00:01 < ggreer> I hope 20 years from now these stupid articles about video games get deleted
2008-03-10 00:19 < Ceiling_Cat> MOAR CATZ!
2008-03-10 00:24 < Werdna> ggreer: if people read them, why should they be deleted?
2008-03-10 00:25 < Hildanknight> I'm not surprised, considering articles on obscure Singaporean stuff have hardly any chance of attaining FA status, while articles on American video games can easily earn the FA star.
2008-03-10 00:25 < Werdna> I don't think that's a huge problem, tbh.
2008-03-10 00:25 < Rinn> Everything I don't like or want to know about should be deleted.
2008-03-10 00:25 < Werdna> Rinn: fair enough.
2008-03-10 00:26 < Hildanknight> We should have GAs on obscure Singaporean stuff appear on the Main Page.
2008-03-10 00:27 < Werdna> I think it's a good idea to show the breadth of wikipedia's articles on the main page, yes.
2008-03-10 00:27 < Werdna> what sets wikipedia apart has always been its breadth
2008-03-10 00:28 < Hildanknight> Werdna: Exactly. The Main Page should have a slot for GAs like my [[I Not Stupid]].
2008-03-10 00:29 < Werdna> "Today's suggested articles:"
2008-03-10 00:29 < Werdna> and about 3 good articles from disparate subject areas, with a short lead sentence
2008-03-10 00:30 < ggreer> Werdna: just because something is popular on digg doesn't mean it should be in an encyclopedia
2008-03-10 00:30 < ggreer> in fact if something is popular on digg it probably should not be in an encyclopedia
2008-03-10 00:30 < Hildanknight> Werdna: Good idea. Let's draw up a formal proposal.
2008-03-10 00:31 * fajro is away: Gone away for now.
2008-03-10 00:32 < ggreer> Werdna: people read tabloids, but we don't put stuff from weekly world news on wikipedia
2008-03-10 00:32 < Rinn> You should!
2008-03-10 00:33 < ggreer> the problem with popular stuff is that it ceases to be popular quickly, and then nobody cares about it five years from now
2008-03-10 00:34 < ggreer> so you end up with an article that has only been updated by vandals for five years, and it dilutes what little credibility wikipedia has
2008-03-10 00:34 < Hildanknight> Besides [[I Not Stupid]], perhaps one of Aldwinteo's GAs should go on the Main Page as well (Aldwin writes GAs on Singaporean historical sites and events).
2008-03-10 00:35 < Hildanknight> Ggreer: That's not always the case for popular culture. For example, [[I Not Stupid]] (a Singaporean movie) prompted our government to reform our education system.
2008-03-10 00:36 < FastLizard4> Ha!
2008-03-10 00:36 < FastLizard4> I have a Wikipediholic score of 9302!
2008-03-10 00:37 * Werdna rolleyes
2008-03-10 00:37 < Werdna> old.
2008-03-10 00:37 < Warpath> hey andrew :D
2008-03-10 00:40 * FastLizard4 is now going to bed, good night!
2008-03-10 00:40 < ggreer> Hildanknight: I'm mostly talking about internet meme crap. movies that show up in theaters can be important enough to warrant an article
2008-03-10 00:42 < Hildanknight> I'm not so worried about Wikipedia having too much information about Internet memes. I'm more worried about Wikipedia's poor coverage of Singaporean stuff. That's why I'm anti-deletionist.
2008-03-10 00:43 < ggreer> heh, singapore. isn't that country the size of rhode island or something?
2008-03-10 00:43 < Werdna> hi Warpath
2008-03-10 00:43 < Warpath> ;D
2008-03-10 00:44 < Hildanknight> Yes. Even smaller, in fact.
2008-03-10 00:44 < Rinn> But where would Wikipedia be without articles on Hampster Dance?
2008-03-10 00:44 < Rinn> Nowhere, that's where.
2008-03-10 00:45 < Hildanknight> People from other countries call us the Little Red Dot - because that's what we look like on a map. :)
2008-03-10 00:51 < ggreer> Hildanknight: I don't understand why small countries like brunei and singapore exist. I mean they're so tiny
2008-03-10 00:52 < Werdna> ggreer: for the same reason that large countries exist.
2008-03-10 00:52 < Hildanknight> Singapore was a Malaysian state from 1963 to 1965, but was expelled from Malaysia due to political and economic disputes. That's how we became independent and that's why we're a tiny country.
2008-03-10 00:53 < ggreer> Werdna: I mean why didn't they invade malaysia and get more resources?
2008-03-10 00:53 < ggreer> malaysia is still a developing country while singapore is a rich liberal democracy
2008-03-10 00:53 < Werdna> The USA was a British colony from 1492 to 1783, but seceded from Britain due to political and economic disputes. THat's how we became independent and that's why we're a huge country.
2008-03-10 00:53 < Werdna> sound familiar? :)
2008-03-10 00:54 < kmccoy> ggreer, I wouldn't go so far as "liberal democracy".
2008-03-10 00:54 < ggreer> Werdna: yes, but after that we expanded
2008-03-10 00:54 < Werdna> ggreer: not really.
2008-03-10 00:54 < ggreer> uhh... we kind of went to war with mexico
2008-03-10 00:54 < Werdna> I mean sure, a few more states joined
2008-03-10 00:54 < ggreer> and almost canada
2008-03-10 00:54 < ggreer> 54-40 or fight, remember?
2008-03-10 00:54 < Werdna> my point is that invading other countries is not really necessary.
2008-03-10 00:55 < Werdna> I mean, this is the 20th century we're talking about
2008-03-10 00:55 < ggreer> modern countries need resources to sustain themselves
2008-03-10 00:55 < Werdna> generally speaking, unless you're America, you don't just go out invading countries, willy-nilly, because you want something.
2008-03-10 00:56 < ggreer> aww
2008-03-10 00:56 < Werdna> ggreer: do you see a major resource shortage in Singapore?
2008-03-10 00:56 < ggreer> but that's no fun
2008-03-10 00:56 < ggreer> Werdna: not right now, but that's only because they take raw goods and manufacture stuff with them
2008-03-10 00:57 < kmccoy> There is a major resource shortage in Singapore.
2008-03-10 00:57 < Werdna> anyway, wars will often consume more resources than they plunder.
2008-03-10 00:58 < kmccoy> They're reliant on Malaysia for a lot of their fresh water. They're trying to become more self-sustaining by filtering their sewage and recycling it.
2008-03-10 00:59 < bumm13> Werdna: there were no American colonies in 1492
2008-03-10 01:00 < kmccoy> bumm13. :)
2008-03-10 01:00 < Werdna> bumm13: :P
2008-03-10 01:00 < bumm13> Jamestown Settlement in Virginia was established in 1607
2008-03-10 01:00 * Werdna is not very up there with his american history
2008-03-10 01:00 < bumm13> that's okay :)
2008-03-10 01:00 < bumm13> it's not like I know when Australian colonies were established :x
2008-03-10 01:01 < Werdna> 1788 :)
2008-03-10 01:01 < bumm13> I think Cortés encountered the Aztecs in 1516
2008-03-10 01:02 < Werdna> first fleet arrived in botany bay, which is now dominated by Kingsford-Smith International Airport (Sydney's main airport) on January 26 1788.
2008-03-10 01:02 < bumm13> the first permanent colonial settlement in the modern-day "lower 48" U.S. was at St. Augustine, Florida by the Spanish (1565)
2008-03-10 01:03 < bumm13> w00t \o/
2008-03-10 01:03 < Werdna> I think some spanish/french people charted the coastline beforehand, in the 15/1600s
2008-03-10 01:04 < bumm13> Terra Australis ;)
2008-03-10 01:04 < bumm13> (inhabited by 569834269507 different tribes ;)
2008-03-10 01:05 < Werdna> those are only approximate figures
2008-03-10 01:05 < bumm13> heh
2008-03-10 01:10 < Hildanknight> Sorry, I was away.
2008-03-10 01:10 < Hildanknight> Yes, Singapore relies on Malaysia for water.
2008-03-10 01:11 < Hildanknight> ggreer: "I mean why didn't they invade malaysia and get more resources" --> My response: Malaysia is much larger than Singapore, in terms of land area and population size. We'd get crushed.
2008-03-10 01:12 < pengo> when there's national wars over water you know you're in the 21st C
2008-03-10 01:12 < pengo> and tank girl will rise
2008-03-10 01:14 < Hildanknight> kmccoy: "I wouldn't go so far as "liberal democracy"." --> My response: Yeah, we aren't as liberal as the Americans and Europeans. To be honest, I find that a good thing.
2008-03-10 01:14 < Ceiling_Cat> http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-03-09-locy_N.htm
2008-03-10 01:14 < Ceiling_Cat> Good
2008-03-10 01:14 < Ceiling_Cat> I hope the judge sends her to prison
2008-03-10 01:15 < ggreer> Hildanknight: a good thing? why?
2008-03-10 01:15 < ggreer> I mean, isn't more personal freedom a good thing?
2008-03-10 01:15 < Hildanknight> Ggreer: Low crime rates, racial and religious harmony, etc.
2008-03-10 01:15 < Ceiling_Cat> if there is one thing that drives me bonkers, it's idiotic reporters who try to assert some kind of jouranlistic sheild over their sources when their stories turn out to be massively false
2008-03-10 01:16 < Ceiling_Cat> it's too bad they couldn't hang judy miller
2008-03-10 01:16 < ggreer> heh, never mind "Live free or die."
2008-03-10 01:16 < ggreer> low crime rates are worth it, eh?
2008-03-10 01:17 < Ceiling_Cat> ggreer - overzealous law enforcement officials under attorney general ashcroft leaked her classified details of the anthrax investigation
2008-03-10 01:18 < Ceiling_Cat> it turns out that they fingered STephen Hatfill
2008-03-10 01:18 < ggreer> Ceiling_Cat: I was talking to Hildanknight, but whatever
2008-03-10 01:18 < Ceiling_Cat> the accusation ruined his life
2008-03-10 01:18 < Hildanknight> Ggreer: Low crime rates are certainly worth it. Racial and religious harmony are certainly worth it. If I was born in the USA, I'd be discriminated against, because I'm ethnically Chinese.
2008-03-10 01:19 < bumm13> you know this, how?
2008-03-10 01:19 < ggreer> Hildanknight: eh, probably not. asians are the only minorities who are definitely not discriminated against in the US
2008-03-10 01:20 < Hildanknight> bumm13: I read. In addition, I have a few Chinese American online friends.
2008-03-10 01:21 < bumm13> then I'm not sure I'd consider their information to be reliable
2008-03-10 01:21 < Hildanknight> Ggreer: Muslims have it worse, in the USA.
2008-03-10 01:22 < ggreer> Hildanknight: I think you're overstating the problem
2008-03-10 01:23 < Hildanknight> Perhaps I am, because such problems are almost completely unheard of in Singapore.
2008-03-10 01:23 < ggreer> yes, there are retards in the US who hate muslims, but if you commit a crime you usually go to jail
2008-03-10 01:23 < ggreer> hence the 1% of adults being in prison now
2008-03-10 01:25 < Hildanknight> "hence the 1% of adults being in prison now" --> I'm pretty sure that figure is much lower in Singapore, due to our low crime rates.
2008-03-10 01:26 < ggreer> Hildanknight: most of the people in prison in the US are nonviolent offenders
2008-03-10 01:26 < ggreer> aka possesion of drugs
2008-03-10 01:29 < Hildanknight> Drugs? Hardly anyone possesses drugs in Singapore, unless they have a death wish. Literally.
2008-03-10 01:29 < ggreer> anyway, I'd rather have the personal freedom to buy and use thermite and guns on random stuff than have a lower crime rate
2008-03-10 01:29 < ggreer> like http://abughrai.be/thermite/
2008-03-10 01:29 < ggreer> http://abughrai.be/thermite/P1010014.JPG
2008-03-10 01:29 < ggreer> sparcstations suck
2008-03-10 01:30 < Hildanknight> Ggreer: What is your ethnicity?
2008-03-10 01:30 < ggreer> Hildanknight: I'm white, but why does it matter?
2008-03-10 01:31 < Hildanknight> If you are from a minority group, but live in the USA, you would consider racial harmony more important.
2008-03-10 01:31 < ggreer> http://abughrai.be/thermite/P1010010.JPG <-- here is me lighting stuff on fire
2008-03-10 01:31 < ggreer> that's such a nebulous term
2008-03-10 01:33 < ggreer> Hildanknight: and http://abughrai.be/thermite/P1010023.JPG <-- here is me shooting some hard drives with a russian rifle from WWII
2008-03-10 01:34 < Hildanknight> Ggreer: You are contributing to global warming and air pollution. :P
2008-03-10 01:34 < Casull> he's also contributing to TOTALLY RAD
2008-03-10 01:34 < ggreer> Hildanknight: not any more! now I drive a sports car and ride a motorcycle
2008-03-10 01:35 < ggreer> and we all know those things are too awesome to contribute to global warming
2008-03-10 01:35 < Hildanknight> Ggreer: what is the Singaporean concept of "racial harmony" known as in the States?
2008-03-10 01:35 < ggreer> Hildanknight: hmm... I don't think there is an equivalent. I guess you mean a decrease in racial discrimination?
2008-03-10 01:35 < Hildanknight> Ggreer: Wikipedia doesn't have an article on [[racial harmony]], so I presume that either 1) the concept has another name in the States or 2) the concept is unheard of in the States.
2008-03-10 01:36 < ggreer> http://mipsisrisc.com/rambling/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/golden_gate.jpg <-- and here is my bike... today
2008-03-10 01:36 < ggreer> I think there's a better picture at http://mipsisrisc.com/rambling/archives/42
2008-03-10 01:37 < Casull> Racial harmony?
2008-03-10 01:37 < Casull> What is this madness?
2008-03-10 01:37 < ggreer> ah, http://abughrai.be/pics/geoff's%20bike.jpg
2008-03-10 01:37 < ggreer> 7 megapixel goodness
2008-03-10 01:37 < ggreer> Hildanknight: maybe you're talking about racial discrimination?
2008-03-10 01:37 < ggreer> Hildanknight: ah yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism
2008-03-10 01:38 < ggreer> racism is basically the opposite of racial harmony
2008-03-10 01:38 < Hildanknight> Racism is the opposite of racial harmony. :P
2008-03-10 01:38 < ggreer> heh
2008-03-10 01:39 < Hildanknight> So I guess that the States doesn't have racial harmony. :P
2008-03-10 01:40 < ggreer> it's kind of considered the default state of things. only crappy places have racism
2008-03-10 01:40 < bumm13> concepts like "racial harmony" cannot be enforced without a paternalistic culture and an authoritarian government
2008-03-10 01:40 < Taggnostr> hello
2008-03-10 01:41 < Taggnostr> is there a way to hide a section that explain something in deep, so the user can expand it only if he wants clicking on "expand"?
2008-03-10 01:42 * Ceiling_Cat sighs
2008-03-10 01:42 < Taggnostr> there should be some template, but I don't know what is it
2008-03-10 01:42 < ggreer> also america has great stuff like http://abughrai.be/pics/end%20of%20the%20world.jpg
2008-03-10 01:42 < ggreer> I mean how can you not want to live in the same country as that guy?
2008-03-10 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> Why am I not surprised that hte person who made this edit:
2008-03-10 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Discovery_Institute&diff=196958762&oldid=196924471
2008-03-10 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> has a republican party userbox on his user page, along with this user is a christian
2008-03-10 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> this user doesn
2008-03-10 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> doesn't believe in global warming
2008-03-10 01:43 < ggreer> btw I don't know wtf is with all the stuffed animals in the car
2008-03-10 01:43 < Ceiling_Cat> this user is homeschooled
2008-03-10 01:43 < ggreer> Ceiling_Cat: hahaha
2008-03-10 01:43 < Ceiling_Cat> etc etc
2008-03-10 01:43 < Ceiling_Cat> I mean, it's like the perfect storm of anti-intellectual userboxes
2008-03-10 01:43 < Ceiling_Cat> why would you advertise that?
2008-03-10 01:44 < Ceiling_Cat> When I graduated high school, for each student, they called out the various scholarships he or she had gotten
2008-03-10 01:44 * Mike_H NP: James Taylor and J.D. Souther - Her Town Too (1981)
2008-03-10 01:44 < Taggnostr> is there a list of templates where I can search?
2008-03-10 01:44 < Ceiling_Cat> for one girl, they mentioned she had gotten a federal pell grant
2008-03-10 01:44 < Ceiling_Cat> the pell grant is given to poor people so they can go to college - it's entirely need based, not merit based
2008-03-10 01:44 < Mike_H> Ceiling_Cat: Isn't that just a nice way of saying her family is poor and she made good grades?
2008-03-10 01:44 < Ceiling_Cat> so why would you announce that?
2008-03-10 01:44 < Ceiling_Cat> it's like putting a big "I'm Poor" sign on your back
2008-03-10 01:45 < Ceiling_Cat> Mike_H - actually, that girl was dumb as a rock
2008-03-10 01:45 < Mike_H> wtf
2008-03-10 01:45 < Ceiling_Cat> she was *renowned* for making dumb statements. People actually began collecting them
2008-03-10 01:45 < Mike_H> Oh, like Holly from Big Brother 5
2008-03-10 01:45 < Ceiling_Cat> my personal favorite: In a social studies class "Dow Jones? Who dat? We ain't never studied him"
2008-03-10 01:45 < Mike_H> was the girl you knew blonde and slutty?
2008-03-10 01:46 < Mike_H> and did she have a mannequin in her bedroom she'd talk to?
2008-03-10 01:46 < Mike_H> Holly's was named "Madame Jules"
2008-03-10 01:46 * Hildanknight rolls his eyes.
2008-03-10 01:46 < Mike_H> Oh, she was just ig'nant'
2008-03-10 01:46 < Ceiling_Cat> (In a science class) Teacher: Name a name. Her: Turtle
2008-03-10 01:47 < Ceiling_Cat> oh god, there were so many
2008-03-10 01:47 * Ceiling_Cat tries to remember
2008-03-10 01:47 < Mike_H> Hey, she was probably thinking of Lisa Turtle
2008-03-10 01:47 < Mike_H> that harbinger of fashion
2008-03-10 01:47 < Hildanknight> That doesn't beat the answers I gave in a Science test in Secondary 1 (which I failed, duh).
2008-03-10 01:47 < Hildanknight> Q: Name a law.
2008-03-10 01:47 < Hildanknight> A: No smoking.
2008-03-10 01:47 < Mike_H> you deserved half-credit
2008-03-10 01:48 < ggreer> hah
2008-03-10 01:48 < Taggnostr> do I have to install the templates on my own wiki?
2008-03-10 01:48 < ggreer> Hildanknight: there's no smoking in singapore?
2008-03-10 01:48 < Mike_H> Ceiling_Cat: I went to school with a girl named "Shal'Quindra."
2008-03-10 01:48 < Mike_H> Who the fuck puts an apostrophe in their name?
2008-03-10 01:48 < Ceiling_Cat> Black people?
2008-03-10 01:49 < Hildanknight> Smoking is banned in most public places in Singapore. Of course, there are some public places where smoking is permitted, and Singaporeans can smoke at home.
2008-03-10 01:49 < Mike_H> Yeah.
2008-03-10 01:49 < Mike_H> I wish I knew why, though.
2008-03-10 01:49 < ggreer> how would I ever be able to do this then? http://abughrai.be/pics/sparkler/DSCF0300.JPG
2008-03-10 01:49 < Hildanknight> Mike_H: Quite a few people.
2008-03-10 01:49 < ggreer> :/
2008-03-10 01:49 < Mike_H> hold on
2008-03-10 01:49 < Taggnostr> :|
2008-03-10 01:49 < Mike_H> <Hildanknight> Mike_H: Quite a few black people.
2008-03-10 01:49 < Mike_H> okay, done
2008-03-10 01:49 < Taggnostr> may someone help me?
2008-03-10 01:49 < Mike_H> Taggnostr: repeat your problem
2008-03-10 01:49 < Hildanknight> Mike_H: Are you racist?
2008-03-10 01:49 < Taggnostr> is there a way to hide a section that explain something in deep, so the user can expand it only if he wants clicking on "expand"?
2008-03-10 01:49 < Mike_H> It's not racist if it's true.
2008-03-10 01:49 < Mike_H> Okay, that sounded racist.
2008-03-10 01:50 < Mike_H> I didn't mean for it to sound that way
2008-03-10 01:50 < Taggnostr> I've find the hidden template but it doesn't seem to work on my wiki
2008-03-10 01:50 < Mike_H> Taggnostr: I'm not good at that stuff
2008-03-10 01:50 < Hildanknight> I see.
2008-03-10 01:50 < Mike_H> #mediawiki perhaps?
2008-03-10 01:50 * Hildanknight decides to AGF.
2008-03-10 01:50 < ggreer> Mike_H: heh, that did sound racist
2008-03-10 01:50 < Mike_H> ggreer: It really did
2008-03-10 01:50 * Ceiling_Cat decided to ABF
2008-03-10 01:50 < [hmwith]> yeah, taggnostr: sorry... besides copy/pasting some code for it, that's all i advice i could give
2008-03-10 01:50 * Ceiling_Cat kicks Hildanknight
2008-03-10 01:51 < Taggnostr> I've found the one at the end of this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages/Format
2008-03-10 01:51 * Hildanknight slashes Ceiling_Cat with his sword.
2008-03-10 01:51 < Mike_H> Taggnostr: and that won't work?
2008-03-10 01:51 < Taggnostr> but on my wiki it doesn't work
2008-03-10 01:51 < Taggnostr> I don't know if I have to install it
2008-03-10 01:52 < Mike_H> #mediawiki may be able to help
2008-03-10 01:52 < Taggnostr> ok, I'll try there
2008-03-10 01:52 < Taggnostr> thanks
2008-03-10 01:53 < pengo> Taggnostr: the template relies on stuff being in the css files
2008-03-10 01:54 < Taggnostr> it only display a red link with * Template:Hidden
2008-03-10 02:01 * Ceiling_Cat focus a spotlight on Lubaf
2008-03-10 02:01 * Lubaf gets out his mirror, and points it at Ceiling_Cat's spotlight.
2008-03-10 02:02 * Ceiling_Cat dries up like a raisin in the sun
2008-03-10 02:04 < roboboy> hello
2008-03-10 02:06 < pengo> hi roboboy
2008-03-10 02:06 < roboboy> If I want to rewrite and article, what is the proper place for placing the rewrite?
2008-03-10 02:07 < pengo> roboboy: usually best to incrementally do it
2008-03-10 02:07 < roboboy> ok
2008-03-10 02:07 < roboboy> as the article also needs wikifying
2008-03-10 02:07 < roboboy> its a huge mess
2008-03-10 02:08 < roboboy> it has no info box for its type
2008-03-10 02:08 < pengo> roboboy: you can put it in articlename/draft or something.. not sure if there's a standard.. or in your own space.. e.g. [[User:Roboboy/mydraft]]
2008-03-10 02:08 < roboboy> I feel it would be too hard to do it incrementally
2008-03-10 02:08 < roboboy> ok
2008-03-10 02:09 < pengo> roboboy: incremental is important if it's an established article
2008-03-10 02:09 < pengo> roboboy: but sounds like this isn't
2008-03-10 02:09 < roboboy> i read thats one of the ways as ub pages have been disabled for mainspace articles on english wikipedia
2008-03-10 02:10 < pengo> roboboy: still work in user space
2008-03-10 02:10 < roboboy> yeah
2008-03-10 02:10 < pengo> in userspace is probably best
2008-03-10 02:10 < roboboy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macquarie_Boys_Technology_High_School is the article. Atleast i think it is a huge mess
2008-03-10 02:11 < pengo> ah yeah.. needs some work
2008-03-10 02:11 < pengo> at a glance
2008-03-10 02:11 < jtizzle1854> anyone tried absinth my dad says it's an aprodisiac but i don't know where he got that from i've looked it up and i haven't found anything about it anyone knw?
2008-03-10 02:11 < jtizzle1854> know?
2008-03-10 02:13 < pengo> i dunno about aphrodisiac..
2008-03-10 02:14 < Hildanknight> "by placing an article on PR and GAN simultaneously, it will take me less time to get articles to GA status." --> Is this sentence grammatically correct? It's for a question I'm about to post on [[WT:GAN]].
2008-03-10 02:16 < pengo> jtizzle1854: "The mystery and illicit quality surrounding the popular view of absinthe has played into modern music, movies and television shows. These depictions vary in their authenticity, often applying dramatic license to depict the drink as everything from aphrodisiac to poison." -- wikipedia
2008-03-10 02:16 < jtizzle1854> what article did that come from?
2008-03-10 02:17 < pengo> jtizzle1854: guess
2008-03-10 02:17 < pengo> jtizzle1854: you should check out erowid for peoples experiences
2008-03-10 02:19 < Miranda|away> Hildanknight: "By placing an article on PR and GAN simultaneously, will the process take me less time to get articles to GA status?"
2008-03-10 02:19 < jtizzle1854> absinth?
2008-03-10 02:20 < Hildanknight> Miranda: I'm asking whether an article can be on PR and GAN simultaneously. If it can, I'll save two weeks.
2008-03-10 02:21 < pengo> good guess
2008-03-10 02:23 < jtizzle1854> ok
2008-03-10 02:25 < Miranda|away> Hildanknight: I think we answered that question before
2008-03-10 02:25 < Lubaf> Ceiling_Cat: What?
2008-03-10 02:25 < Ceiling_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Raul654&diff=197182617&oldid=197180463
2008-03-10 02:25 < Ceiling_Cat> Too mean?
2008-03-10 02:25 < Miranda|away> well Wizardman did...and he said he didn't have a problem with that
2008-03-10 02:26 < Ceiling_Cat> Kurt, the person to whom I was replying, has a rather... bad track record.
2008-03-10 02:27 < Ceiling_Cat> telling him off felt *awfully* good
2008-03-10 02:27 < Lubaf> Ceiling_Cat: Depends on how roughly how bad "Tile join" is.
2008-03-10 02:27 < Ceiling_Cat> he's the most prolific sockpuppeteer I have ever encountered
2008-03-10 02:28 < Ceiling_Cat> and I make it my job to deal with the worst ones
2008-03-10 02:28 < Lubaf> Add it to "I'm only one man", as a minor, admins only, item.
2008-03-10 02:28 < Ceiling_Cat> no, it's not an admins item
2008-03-10 02:28 < Ceiling_Cat> it's a checkuser-only item
2008-03-10 02:29 < Ceiling_Cat> in fact, I've put in 3 checkuser-related feature requests because of him
2008-03-10 02:29 < Ceiling_Cat> because the current system never contemplated someone so damned persistent
2008-03-10 02:29 < Ceiling_Cat> but we digress
2008-03-10 02:29 < Ceiling_Cat> was my comment directed at Kurt too mean?
2008-03-10 02:30 < pengo> Ceiling_Cat: yes.
2008-03-10 02:31 < Lubaf> Although it sounds more exasperated than mean, IMO.
2008-03-10 02:31 < Lubaf> Although, yeah, it does cross the meanness threshold.
2008-03-10 02:31 < Ceiling_Cat> you have to understand - Kurt's been indef banned like 4 times now
2008-03-10 02:31 < Ceiling_Cat> including permanently from this channel
2008-03-10 02:31 < pengo> i see
2008-03-10 02:32 < pengo> what's he doing handling OTRS?
2008-03-10 02:32 < pengo> oh.. he's not
2008-03-10 02:32 < Ceiling_Cat> Pengo - he's not
2008-03-10 02:32 < pengo> the nfair enough
2008-03-10 02:32 < Ceiling_Cat> His intervention in the conversation was unsolicited
