2008-03-18 21:55 < zocky> 2+2=11 could work, or 2+2=10
2008-03-18 21:55 < Enterprise_Cat> 2+2=5!
2008-03-18 21:55 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: (2+2) in modulo 3 arithmetic
2008-03-18 21:55 < zocky> Schrodinger_Cat, ah, ok, if you want to play dirty
2008-03-18 21:56 < Enterprise_Cat> What's
2008-03-18 21:56 * Schrodinger_Cat does crypto
2008-03-18 21:56 < Enterprise_Cat> 01 + 101 in binary?
2008-03-18 21:56 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: Crypto is nothing but playing dirty with math
2008-03-18 21:56 < Enterprise_Cat> Schrodinger_Cat: Find f^-1(x): f(x)=(2x^2+3)/8
2008-03-18 21:57 < Monobi> Enterprise_Cat: dont op for fun ...
2008-03-18 21:57 < Enterprise_Cat> Monobi: Oh, shush
2008-03-18 21:58 < zocky> bah, I can't tell all these cat people apart any more
2008-03-18 21:58 < wahrheit> btw hi Monobi
2008-03-18 21:58 < zocky> at least when we had furries, it was more varied by species
2008-03-18 21:59 < Schrodinger_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: f^-1(x) = 8((1/2)sqrt(x)-3)
2008-03-18 21:59 < Enterprise_Cat> Good job
2008-03-18 21:59 < Schrodinger_Cat> Wait
2008-03-18 21:59 < Enterprise_Cat> Oh
2008-03-18 21:59 < Schrodinger_Cat> The sqrt needs a plusminus
2008-03-18 21:59 < Enterprise_Cat> You forgot something
2008-03-18 21:59 < zocky> shouldn't there be a +- somewhere?
2008-03-18 21:59 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: Yep.
2008-03-18 21:59 < Enterprise_Cat> Yeah
2008-03-18 21:59 * Schrodinger_Cat doesn't know how to write a plusminus in text
2008-03-18 22:00 < Krimpet> ±?
2008-03-18 22:00 < zocky> ±
2008-03-18 22:00 < Schrodinger_Cat> What's the key combo for that?
2008-03-18 22:01 < zocky> there's also ∓
2008-03-18 22:01 * Schrodinger_Cat is ashamed of his ignorance
2008-03-18 22:01 * Krimpet has right-alt mapped to Compose in GNOME, so it's just Compose, +, -, but your mileage may vary
2008-03-18 22:02 < ggreer> Krimpet: or if you had a mac it would do that by default
2008-03-18 22:02 < ggreer> so alt + is ≠ and shift alt + is ±
2008-03-18 22:02 < zocky> Krimpet, bah, i get ¬ on slovenian keyboard layout when I try that
2008-03-18 22:02 < Krimpet> ggreer: only problem is, it's mac. :)
2008-03-18 22:03 < Krimpet> zocky: are you in X11?
2008-03-18 22:03 < Krimpet> compose key doesn't work in Windows, etc., I believe
2008-03-18 22:03 < zocky> Krimpet, yes, but I can't remap right alt to actual compose, since I need it for the half-compose of the slovenian layout
2008-03-18 22:03 < Krimpet> ah, I see
2008-03-18 22:04 < zocky> i have [] {} \|@ on right alt+letters
2008-03-18 22:04 < zocky> plus ä á ů etc, compose-style, on numbers
2008-03-18 22:05 < Krimpet> I kinda wish there was a standard US layout that included Alt-Gr but no dead keys, but Compose seems to be the best alternative
2008-03-18 22:05 < zocky> i wish they put [] and {} where you expect them, i.e. next to enter
2008-03-18 22:06 < zocky> i have [] on FG and {} on BN
2008-03-18 22:06 < ggreer> Krimpet: there are three groups of people who do use macs: 1. people who haven't tried a mac, 2. poor people, and 3. open source neckbeard idealists
2008-03-18 22:06 < ggreer> it's quite simple, really
2008-03-18 22:06 < ggreer> :)
2008-03-18 22:06 < Krimpet> ggreer, I fall into the second category
2008-03-18 22:06 < zocky> ggreer, how about "people who have tried mac, but decided it sucks elephant poop"?
2008-03-18 22:07 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: How about people who like Unicode support in their terminals?
2008-03-18 22:07 < ggreer> zocky: obviously you didn't try 10.5
2008-03-18 22:07 < zocky> ggreer, I have, and I hate the stuff
2008-03-18 22:07 < zocky> it doesn't make sense to my brain
2008-03-18 22:07 < ggreer> hmm? iterm defaults to utf-8
2008-03-18 22:07 < Krimpet> macs are neat and all, but hella overpriced, and the vendor lock-in blows goats :p
2008-03-18 22:08 < ggreer> some of their models are overpriced, but their laptops are very competitive
2008-03-18 22:08 < zocky> the only GUI I ever thought was sane was windows 95/2k
2008-03-18 22:08 < zocky> of course, MS then went and made it suck
2008-03-18 22:08 < ggreer> zocky: huh? MS hasn't changed their UI since 95
2008-03-18 22:08 < zocky> ggreer, the hell they haven't
2008-03-18 22:08 < ggreer> they just added eye candy
2008-03-18 22:08 < ggreer> and buried some popular options in vista
2008-03-18 22:08 < Krimpet> Win95, pre-IE-integration, was awesome
2008-03-18 22:09 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: How is the Windows UI today fundamentally different from win95?
2008-03-18 22:09 < ggreer> I doubt anyone would use windows 95 today, even all the vulnerabilities and bugs were patched
2008-03-18 22:09 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: Its still the basic start menu + applications bar
2008-03-18 22:09 < Golbez> 2k was the best OS microsoft ever made
2008-03-18 22:09 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Something about the horrible memory leaks in the OS itself...
2008-03-18 22:09 < zocky> Schrodinger_Cat, lots of useless eye candy, lots of "helping" stuff, lots of hidden options that used to be readily available
2008-03-18 22:09 < Krimpet> after integrating the "desktop update" in there, they really messed things up
2008-03-18 22:10 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: Yeah, well that too...
2008-03-18 22:10 < ggreer> Golbez: at the time yes, but now it sucks because it has no wireless support built in
2008-03-18 22:10 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Yeah, and its becoming hard to find drivers for 2000 now...
2008-03-18 22:10 < zocky> i still run w2k when I need windows
2008-03-18 22:10 < zocky> screw XP
2008-03-18 22:10 < zocky> and don't even mention vista
2008-03-18 22:11 * zocky was forced to use access vista the other week
2008-03-18 22:11 < ggreer> vista isn't bad once you disable all the new features
2008-03-18 22:11 < zocky> it still has all the UI bugs it always had, but now they've made it so that you're much more likely to encounter them
2008-03-18 22:11 < ggreer> nowadays I want my computer to run some form of unix, so that means ubuntu on OS X
2008-03-18 22:11 < ggreer> and ubuntu is rather lacking in the drivers department
2008-03-18 22:11 < ggreer> so there's no way it's going on a laptop
2008-03-18 22:12 < Krimpet> ggreer: ubuntu runs swimmingly on my Dell laptop
2008-03-18 22:12 < zocky> closing every window once you're done with it used to be the normal way to work in access, which made it a bit less likely that you would be told "you can't save foo before closing bar"
2008-03-18 22:12 < Krimpet> wireless, sound, graphics, ACPI, etc. all work fine
2008-03-18 22:12 < ggreer> Krimpet: the wifi drivers for it sucked so much on my dell. it only supported 802.11b and WEP
2008-03-18 22:12 < zocky> now I spent most of my time (and nerves) on clicking "ok" to those silly messages
2008-03-18 22:12 < Schrodinger_Cat> Krimpet: Depends *strongly* on the laptop.
2008-03-18 22:12 < ggreer> even though the hardware supported WPA2/b/g/n, etc
2008-03-18 22:13 < zocky> what use are dialog boxes that tell you "you can't do what you want this way. you have to do it this way"?
2008-03-18 22:13 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: If your wireless drivers work, then WPA usually works fine.
2008-03-18 22:13 < ggreer> also there was no hardware graphics acceleration
2008-03-18 22:13 < ggreer> Schrodinger_Cat: I said wep
2008-03-18 22:13 < ggreer> not even wpa
2008-03-18 22:13 < zocky> if the program has already figured out what I want to do, why doesn't it just bloody do it?
2008-03-18 22:13 < Krimpet> ggreer: well, I'm on a WPA2 network right now chatting, so things seem to have improved :)
2008-03-18 22:13 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Sounds like a problem with the drivers, rather than with Ubuntu itself.
2008-03-18 22:14 < ggreer> Schrodinger_Cat: right. I'm dissing linux in general
2008-03-18 22:14 < Krimpet> Schrodinger_Cat: yeah, Dell is one vendor that commits somewhat to making Ubuntu work, other vendors aren't the same
2008-03-18 22:14 < ggreer> linux is fine on a server but it's useless if I want to do anything else
2008-03-18 22:14 < zocky> "you can't drop icons on the task bar. you have to hover over a button and wait for the window to open, and then drop the icon in the window."
2008-03-18 22:14 < zocky> just pretend that I dropped it in the window, you moronic OS
2008-03-18 22:15 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: You can't do that. Lumping together a n00b friendly distro like Ubuntu in the same bucket as a hardcore distro like Gentoo is like putting Windows and NetBSD in the same boat.
2008-03-18 22:15 < ggreer> Schrodinger_Cat: heh, gentoo is so much worse
2008-03-18 22:15 < ggreer> it takes days to set up a gentoo box
2008-03-18 22:15 < ggreer> it's ridiculous. if I wanted to look at gcc working all day I'd go write some code
2008-03-18 22:15 < kim_bruning> ggreer, depends
2008-03-18 22:15 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: The last time I tried to set up a Gentoo box, I gave up after 4 days and installed Fedora
2008-03-18 22:16 < kim_bruning> ggreer, on what you're doing
2008-03-18 22:16 < kim_bruning> ggreer, btw, ubuntu is nice on desktops
2008-03-18 22:16 * zocky wonders when MS will switch to BSD
2008-03-18 22:16 < ggreer> Schrodinger_Cat: good call. fc8 and the latest ubuntu are the least annoying of the linux distros
2008-03-18 22:16 < kim_bruning> ggreer, gentoo is quick to set up on servers, just stage 3 tarball + compile some server apps , (which is fast enough on a dual or quad core)
2008-03-18 22:16 * Enterprise_Cat wonders when MS will switch from BSoD
2008-03-18 22:16 < zocky> the whole vista charade must have taught them something
2008-03-18 22:17 < ggreer> kim_bruning: except for when you have several hundred machines and to upgrade anything on them you have to build stuff on each one
2008-03-18 22:17 < Krimpet> there's really only two things preventing distros like Ubuntu from succeeding - lack of hardware vendor support, and the somewhat elitist attitude towards newbies that drives away potential new users
2008-03-18 22:17 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Well, I'm on FC7, myself. I choose to never run the latest Fedora due to a superstition of mine. The latest version of Fedora has always given me trouble.
2008-03-18 22:17 < ggreer> Schrodinger_Cat: 9 beta is out I think
2008-03-18 22:18 < ggreer> so it's not really the latest
2008-03-18 22:18 < kim_bruning> ggreer, Erm. If they're all similar machines ...
2008-03-18 22:18 < kim_bruning> ggreer, you can compile a custom distro once
2008-03-18 22:18 < kim_bruning> ggreer, then roll out
2008-03-18 22:18 < zocky> all the home computer and personal computer OSs were traditionally attempts to get as much unix functionality as possible on your paltry machine
2008-03-18 22:18 < kim_bruning> ggreer, the more boxen you have, the more gentoo makes sense
2008-03-18 22:18 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: You don't have to build Gentoo on each machine. If each machine has identical architecture, you can build on one, and set up a portage snapshot on a single machine and propagate to all the machines.
2008-03-18 22:18 < ggreer> kim_bruning: not really. gentoo has no guaranteed support like ubuntu and redhat offer
2008-03-18 22:18 < zocky> since the machines became powerful enough to run a flavour of unix, doing other stuff has become just silly
2008-03-18 22:18 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Nope. Fedora 9 is still in alpha.
2008-03-18 22:19 < ggreer> Schrodinger_Cat: I remember trying that once and it was a huge pain
2008-03-18 22:19 < Krimpet> Gutsy has worked fine on my laptop for months, though, and it's perfect for me since I work a lot with Unix in my classes as a CS major. :)
2008-03-18 22:19 < Schrodinger_Cat> Krimpet: I run Fedora for the same reason.
2008-03-18 22:19 < Leslie_S> zocky heh, any sources to cite?
2008-03-18 22:19 < kim_bruning> ggreer, I never used other people's support anyway. most support orgs suck :-P
2008-03-18 22:19 < ggreer> for work we had to decide on a distro for all our machines. we went with RHEL4
2008-03-18 22:19 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Good choice.
2008-03-18 22:19 < ggreer> kim_bruning: true, but business people usually require it
2008-03-18 22:19 < ggreer> Schrodinger_Cat: it's the only sane decision we made
2008-03-18 22:20 < Schrodinger_Cat> Krimpet: I run Fedora because it puts its Apache config files in a more sane location than Ubuntu.
2008-03-18 22:20 < zocky> Leslie_S, look at the range of microsoft and apple technologies that were replacements for stuff that worked in unix 30 years ago, and that were all abandoned in last 10 years
2008-03-18 22:20 < Leslie_S> zocky ok.
2008-03-18 22:20 < Krimpet> Schrodinger_Cat: well, I don't generally run httpd's on my laptop :)
2008-03-18 22:20 < Schrodinger_Cat> Krimpet: Well I don't run a laptop...
2008-03-18 22:20 < Leslie_S> zocky you know, windows would be pretty awesome if it worked well.
2008-03-18 22:21 < zocky> so, if all the faggots join #politics, this will stop?
2008-03-18 22:21 < ggreer> Schrodinger_Cat: well we don't use redhat's apache
2008-03-18 22:21 < ggreer> we build our own from trunk
2008-03-18 22:21 < ggreer> and do all kinds of other crazy bleeding edge stuff
2008-03-18 22:21 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Well, not everyone has the time or energy to build their servers from trunk.
2008-03-18 22:21 < Odinala-> http://wikipedia.on.nimp.org/en/?articleid=2396962
2008-03-18 22:22 < ggreer> right, but it cut the number of webservers we needed in half compared to default apache 2.0
2008-03-18 22:22 * Schrodinger_Cat thinks that the binary Apache packages are just fine...
2008-03-18 22:22 < Schrodinger_Cat> Of course, I'm not running a server farm...
2008-03-18 22:22 < ggreer> yeah, at home I just use ubuntu's version of 2.2
2008-03-18 22:23 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Yeah. I used to run Ubuntu, but then I couldn't get mod_cband to work properly.
2008-03-18 22:24 < Krimpet> if there's one thing I seriously hate about ubuntu, though, it's that I can't beat that damn Connect Four game that comes with GNOME. grrr.
2008-03-18 22:24 < amidaniel> hehe
2008-03-18 22:24 < zocky> FrancoGG, could've said something about not clicking that link :)
2008-03-18 22:24 < ggreer> zocky: all of on.nim (spaces here so nobody clicks) p.org is a shock site
2008-03-18 22:25 < zocky> anyway, don't click the link that odinala posted, it's an annoying attempt at an exploit
2008-03-18 22:25 < Schrodinger_Cat> Krimpet: I'm pretty sure that its impossible to beat the computer at Connect 4, since, for the computer, Connect 4 is about has hard as tic-tac-toe
2008-03-18 22:25 < ggreer> connect 4 and tic tac toe are both draws if both sides play perfectly
2008-03-18 22:25 < Schrodinger_Cat> ggreer: Yeah, but Connect 4 is a lot harder for a human to play perfectly.
2008-03-18 22:25 < kim_bruning> ggreer, which business people require it, why?
2008-03-18 22:26 < zocky> Schrodinger_Cat, yeah, connect 4 is solved, but I hate it that I can't beat gnubg in backgammon
2008-03-18 22:26 < Cyrius> the first player can force a draw in connect four
2008-03-18 22:26 < Cyrius> er
2008-03-18 22:26 < Cyrius> a win
2008-03-18 22:26 < Cyrius> gah
2008-03-18 22:26 < Cyrius> should have just copied
2008-03-18 22:26 < Krimpet> Schrodinger_Cat: I'm pretty sure it's impossible too - yet GNOME's version actually has _three_ difficulty levels and I can't even beat it on easy :o
2008-03-18 22:26 < ggreer> kim_bruning: businesses that have thousands of servers
2008-03-18 22:26 < Cyrius> "With perfect play, the first player can force a win by starting in the middle column."
2008-03-18 22:26 < Cyrius> "Starting in the two adjacent columns allows the second player to reach a draw; starting with the four outer columns allows the second player to force a win."
2008-03-18 22:26 < AppleBoy> zocky: yeah, that was the worst link ever
2008-03-18 22:26 < AppleBoy> hella annoying
2008-03-18 22:27 < JohnReaves> I just deleted [[The Mother Fucking God Damn]] and now the page says "Start the The Mother Fucking God Damn article or add a request for it."
2008-03-18 22:27 < AppleBoy> lol
2008-03-18 22:27 < Cyrius> =)
2008-03-18 22:27 < Krimpet> thankfully last measure only seems to crash my firefox -_-
2008-03-18 22:27 < ggreer> that's good
2008-03-18 22:27 < AppleBoy> that's awesome
2008-03-18 22:28 < zocky> zomg, I almost clicked "restore session" in firefox
2008-03-18 22:28 < AppleBoy> hahahaha
2008-03-18 22:28 < AppleBoy> I would've laughed so hard zocky
2008-03-18 22:31 < E_Wing> Phew. Damn final exams
2008-03-18 22:33 < ggreer> kim_bruning: that's the reason a lot of large companies still use windows: they can get support
2008-03-18 22:35 < SynergeticMag> someone bring me a SoBe organge cream Tsunami
2008-03-18 22:37 < SynergeticMag> ok then don't
2008-03-18 22:38 * Lycurgus spills a cheap drink on SynergeticMag
2008-03-18 22:38 < SynergeticMag> you know you'll have to clean that up
2008-03-18 22:38 < SynergeticMag> promptly
2008-03-18 22:39 < The359> http://goteaminternet.com/img/docs/6413.jpg
2008-03-18 22:39 < Not_Rinn> That's no JPG!
2008-03-18 22:39 < SynergeticMag> <--turns on screeching weasel
2008-03-18 22:39 < Lycurgus> I totally am going to skip "I am Legend" although I just when to the RedBox to get it. Fortunately they didn't have it so got "Love in the time of Cholera" instead.
2008-03-18 22:40 < The359> yeah, not sure how that works, Not_Rinn
2008-03-18 22:40 < kim_bruning> ggreer, I've never seen a useful support organization yet...
2008-03-18 22:41 < Lucifer_Cat> http://funhouse.bubble.ro/1543/College_Basketball_Game_Gets_Rick_Roll_d/
2008-03-18 22:41 < Lucifer_Cat> peoples reactions are interesting
2008-03-18 22:41 < E_Wing> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJefffire&diff=cur&oldid=prev
2008-03-18 22:41 < E_Wing> Looks like someone is spamming other users
2008-03-18 22:42 < Lycurgus> yeah, the general underlying attitude of support orgs is that thier clients are clueless shits that can't read manuals and stuff
2008-03-18 22:42 < Lycurgus> mostly true.
2008-03-18 22:42 < The359> how'd he get it on the PA?
2008-03-18 22:42 < Lucifer_Cat> E_Wing: im not trying to rickroll...i swear
2008-03-18 22:43 < E_Wing> Lucifer_Cat: Are you that user?
2008-03-18 22:43 < Lucifer_Cat> ohhh nevermind
2008-03-18 22:43 < The359> it almost looks like he's just an idiot dancing, and the sound is overdubbed, Lucifer_Cat
2008-03-18 22:43 < Lycurgus> they're typically staff by individual who are also semi to largely clueless which adds to the hilarity.
2008-03-18 22:43 < Lycurgus> *individuals
2008-03-18 22:43 < The359> Because the reactions are probably just random people reacting to stuff during a basketball game
2008-03-18 22:43 < Lucifer_Cat> The359: the music is playing on the speakers... and yeah he doing a particularly bad job
2008-03-18 22:44 < Lucifer_Cat> no.. most oldies wouldnt know what the song is all about
2008-03-18 22:44 < The359> Clearly planned if people are holding up a sign for it
2008-03-18 22:44 < Lucifer_Cat> they'd be like, wtf is this guy tring to do... hmmm... song isnt all that bad though.
2008-03-18 22:44 < The359> LOL, WTF?!
2008-03-18 22:44 < The359> $cientology Kills sign?
2008-03-18 22:45 < The359> who invited that moron?
2008-03-18 22:45 < zocky> i've been told that there is a sport which consists of boxing and chess. They box a few rounds, then play a chess match.
2008-03-18 22:45 < The359> "Help, I'm Stuck on OT7"
2008-03-18 22:45 < The359> I don't get it, is this a Rickrolling or a protest?
2008-03-18 22:45 < zocky> The359, google for a how-to
2008-03-18 22:46 < OverlordQ> wow that's alot of cite errors on that page E_Wing
2008-03-18 22:46 < The359> how-to what?
2008-03-18 22:46 < zocky> The359, get to OT8
2008-03-18 22:46 * Messedrocker is 40% done with outline
2008-03-18 22:46 < The359> no, zocky
2008-03-18 22:46 < The359> that video had a sign of someone saying that
2008-03-18 22:46 < The359> So it seems to be a Rickrolling protest of Scientology...
2008-03-18 22:46 < E_Wing> OverlordQ: Yep, alot
2008-03-18 22:46 < Messedrocker> there may only be 12 pages left, but these pages are very large and very dense
2008-03-18 22:47 < Messedrocker> and my brain is slowing down
2008-03-18 22:47 < NotACow> moo
2008-03-18 22:47 < Cyrius> zocky: [[chess boxing]]?
2008-03-18 22:47 < Lucifer_Cat> The359: seems to me some netnerds got together to do this
2008-03-18 22:47 < Lucifer_Cat> and its prolly before the match or something
2008-03-18 22:47 < zocky> Cyrius, yeah
2008-03-18 22:48 < Cyrius> rickrolling is infinitely preferable to what came before it
2008-03-18 22:48 < Lucifer_Cat> goats?
2008-03-18 22:48 < Cyrius> and similar
2008-03-18 22:48 < The359> TUBGIRL!
2008-03-18 22:48 < Lucifer_Cat> yeah. dont remind me.
2008-03-18 22:48 < The359> Goatse is old
2008-03-18 22:48 < zocky> "The concept was envisioned in 1992 by cartoonist Enki Bilal" "Chess boxing was featured in the 1991 Finnish movie" "in addition, there is a 1979 movie"
2008-03-18 22:49 < The359> Now we have 2girls1cup
2008-03-18 22:49 < Messedrocker> goatse's not that bad
2008-03-18 22:49 < Messedrocker> it's just a man's rectum
2008-03-18 22:49 < Messedrocker> so what
2008-03-18 22:49 < Messedrocker> it's a still picture
2008-03-18 22:49 < Not_Rinn> I prefer goatse. Rickrolls take longer to load.
2008-03-18 22:49 < Cyrius> you can flashblock rick astley
2008-03-18 22:49 < Messedrocker> not all of us have dialup, not_rinn
2008-03-18 22:50 < OverlordQ> rickrolls are just stupid, imo
2008-03-18 22:50 < Messedrocker> yes
2008-03-18 22:50 < Messedrocker> catchy song though
2008-03-18 22:50 < Messedrocker> i guess it's supposed to be ironic
2008-03-18 22:50 < OverlordQ> Oh man, you got me, take me half a second to close the window.
2008-03-18 22:50 < OverlordQ> oh well, considering where it came from, I shouldn't have expected more
2008-03-18 22:52 < Lycurgus> are they generally not really non-sequiturs (like the relation of the song title to the cult members)?
2008-03-18 22:52 < zocky> goatse was bad enough that i had it redirected to 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file
2008-03-18 22:52 < Messedrocker> Lycurgus, they're anti-shock
2008-03-18 22:52 < Messedrocker> trolls traditionally have propogated shock sites, so i suppose they figured "why not propogate something totally inoffensive"
2008-03-18 22:53 < zocky> who says rick asstley is not offensive?
2008-03-18 22:53 < Not_Rinn> It was just another 4chan meme that caught on.
2008-03-18 22:53 < Messedrocker> compared to man rectum it's very inoffensive
2008-03-18 22:53 < Messedrocker> also why do you suggest for accelerating the processing power of my brain
2008-03-18 22:53 < Messedrocker> as it is night my brain is slowing down, which is unacceptable
2008-03-18 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> well, the first time i head that song recently (stumbleupon) i found it silly rather than irritating
2008-03-18 22:54 < Messedrocker> i wish i could just read the textbook instead of taking meticulous notes and analysis on it. it's a really well-written textbook
2008-03-18 22:54 < E_Wing> Can youtube videos be used as references and as external links?
2008-03-18 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> i'd prolly just listen to the song if someone tried to roll me
2008-03-18 22:55 < Messedrocker> "A People and A Nation" by Norton, Katzman, et al
2008-03-18 22:55 < zocky> Messedrocker, you can up the mips a bit with some coffee, but that works only for a time, until you need urgent garbage collection. then you just shut down, or start having hallucinations.
2008-03-18 22:55 < Messedrocker> zocky: will any caffeinated beverage do?
2008-03-18 22:55 < zocky> Messedrocker, sure
2008-03-18 22:56 * Messedrocker gets out the 33mg per serving or something like that beverage
2008-03-18 22:56 < Krimpet> YouTube videos are sometimes acceptable as external links, for example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 :)
2008-03-18 22:56 < zocky> just don't overdo it, or you'll get the shakes
2008-03-18 22:56 < Messedrocker> zocky: and the heart palpitations :)
2008-03-18 22:57 < zocky> that reminds me.... I need to figure out which food additive i'm allergic to
2008-03-18 22:57 < zocky> or intolerant of at any rate
2008-03-18 22:57 < Gwern-away> we should be greateful for rickrolling
2008-03-18 22:57 < zocky> I had another spell of horrendous headache and vomiting last night
2008-03-18 22:57 < zocky> it's something they put in sweets, either in chocolate or in pastry
2008-03-18 22:58 < Lucifer_Cat> Krimpet: thankfully i like the song
2008-03-18 22:58 < Messedrocker> zocky: maybe you have phenylketonouria
2008-03-18 22:58 < Gwern-away> Messedrocker: wouldn't he be retarded by this point?
2008-03-18 22:58 < Messedrocker> retarded? try dead
2008-03-18 22:58 * Messedrocker feels his brain awakening
2008-03-18 22:58 < zocky> Messedrocker, just what I need, big latin words to make me hypochondriac
2008-03-18 22:59 * Gwern-away ponders whether to turn that into an insult.,..eh.
2008-03-18 22:59 < Messedrocker> zocky: if you've ever had aspartame and you had phenylketonouria, you'd be dead
2008-03-18 22:59 < Messedrocker> you know what PKU is, don't ya?
2008-03-18 22:59 < zocky> Messedrocker, nope, looking it up
2008-03-18 23:00 < Messedrocker> zocky: genetic intolerance of the amino acid phenylalanine
2008-03-18 23:00 < Messedrocker> which is in aspartame
2008-03-18 23:00 < Messedrocker> which is an artificial sweetener
2008-03-18 23:00 < Messedrocker> <Messedrocker> which is in aspartame << or rather, when aspartame is broken down, phenylalanine is one of the products
2008-03-18 23:00 < Messedrocker> crap it's midnight already
2008-03-18 23:00 < Messedrocker> time for more outline
2008-03-18 23:01 < zocky> is that the same thing as alanine intolerance, or not?
2008-03-18 23:02 < Krimpet> hmmph. my laptop suddenly decided to start playing sound through the speakers even though I've got headphones plugged in...
2008-03-18 23:02 * Ceiling_Cat crushes Krimpet with logical jujitsu
2008-03-18 23:02 < Krimpet> I hope the folks in the library here didn't mind a little Rick Astley :x
2008-03-18 23:03 < zocky> Krimpet, GNAA turned your speakers on
2008-03-18 23:03 < E_Wing> For some reason I can't view other websites
2008-03-18 23:03 < E_Wing> including youtube
2008-03-18 23:03 < Krimpet> it's a known bug in the ubuntu drivers, though I've never been hit with it before -_-
2008-03-18 23:04 * Krimpet remembers not to rickroll herself anymore until they fix that
2008-03-18 23:04 < SynergeticMag> Keep. Seems notable if the article is accurate.
2008-03-18 23:04 < SynergeticMag> i love AfD rationale
2008-03-18 23:04 < Leslie_S> sigh. why wasnt i born with reasonable eyes? :/
2008-03-18 23:04 * zocky remembers when rickrolling yourself was just called watching MTV
2008-03-18 23:04 < Leslie_S> contacts are like the biggest ripoff ever
2008-03-18 23:05 < Leslie_S> and glasses suck
2008-03-18 23:05 < zocky> Leslie_S, you can (a) have an operation, (b) settle for bad vision, or (c) move to a country with a reasonable health system
2008-03-18 23:07 < Leslie_S> theres a country that pays for contacts?
2008-03-18 23:07 < Leslie_S> zocky and i cant settle for bad vision without breaking the law, to be honest.
2008-03-18 23:07 < zocky> Leslie_S, you can get contacts on public money here
2008-03-18 23:07 < Leslie_S> I go without vision correction occasionally, but it kinda sucks ;p
2008-03-18 23:07 < Leslie_S> zocky nice.
2008-03-18 23:11 < zocky> Leslie_S, I read how it works now, and they make you jump through hoops a bit, but they still buy you a new pair of contact lenses every 2 years
2008-03-18 23:18 < The359> hmmm
2008-03-18 23:18 < The359> word is they're making another Dune movie
2008-03-18 23:18 < Cyrius> heard that
2008-03-18 23:18 < Cyrius> wondered why
2008-03-18 23:18 < The359> Hollywood is out of ideas
2008-03-18 23:19 < Lucifer_Cat> was out of them around 10 years ago
2008-03-18 23:19 < Lucifer_Cat> even the matrix was a remakish
2008-03-18 23:19 < The359> The project is out to writers, with the producers looking for a faithful adaptation of the Hugo- and Nebula Award-winning book. The filmmakers consider its theme of finite ecological resources particularly timely.
2008-03-18 23:19 < The359> ugh, fail
2008-03-18 23:20 < The359> They're going to concentrate on The Spice
2008-03-18 23:20 < The359> Because it's like oil
2008-03-18 23:20 < The359> Completely missing the point.
2008-03-18 23:20 < Cyrius> I dunno, it kinda fits
2008-03-18 23:21 < The359> it's only one of the points of the story
2008-03-18 23:21 < Cyrius> it's not the point, but it's not that big a stretch
2008-03-18 23:21 < The359> I know
2008-03-18 23:21 < The359> but I feel they're just going to concentrate on The Spice
2008-03-18 23:21 < Cyrius> I'd rather see them get around to Rendezvous with Rama
2008-03-18 23:21 < The359> and ignore some of the other storylines of the book
2008-03-18 23:21 < The359> That's planned, Cyrius
2008-03-18 23:22 < Cyrius> they've been trying for years
2008-03-18 23:23 < Schrodinger_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: What was the Matrix a remake of? It had a lot of borrowed ideas and themes, but, then again, so do most Final Fantasy games...
2008-03-18 23:23 < Lucifer_Cat> that was my point. i havent seen originals i will admit.
2008-03-18 23:23 < Leslie_S> zocky uh, im wearing two week disposables...
2008-03-18 23:24 < Cyrius> Schrodinger_Cat: allegory of the cave? =)
2008-03-18 23:24 < The359> I see a lot of Dark City in The Matrix
2008-03-18 23:24 < Lucifer_Cat> ghost in the shell?
2008-03-18 23:24 < Schrodinger_Cat> Cyrius: Could be. Also could be going for the standard video game-ish mishmash of disparate cultural elements.
2008-03-18 23:25 < zocky> Leslie_S, heh, no public health system will pay for those
2008-03-18 23:25 < Cyrius> I found the thirteenth floor to be a much better exploration of "what is reality" than the matrix
2008-03-18 23:25 < Luna-San> GITS featured the virtual enslavement of the human race? >.>
2008-03-18 23:26 * amidaniel virtually enslaves Luna-San
2008-03-18 23:26 < Luna-San> Noooo
2008-03-18 23:26 < Lucifer_Cat> Luna-San: no idea. but the Bros got a lot of their ideas from it apparently.
2008-03-18 23:26 * Soms frees Luna-San
2008-03-18 23:26 < Schrodinger_Cat> Anyway, I do agree with the consenus that the new Dune movie will suck.
2008-03-18 23:26 * amidaniel blocks Soms
2008-03-18 23:26 * Luna-San is an edge-triggered admin. Blocks only when clock asserts.
2008-03-18 23:26 < Cyrius> The Matrix owes a lot stylistically to GitS
2008-03-18 23:26 < Schrodinger_Cat> It'll have cool special effects, but it'll still suck
2008-03-18 23:26 * Soms screams rouge admin!
2008-03-18 23:27 < kim_bruning> Cyrius, YAY Masamune Shriow
2008-03-18 23:27 < kim_bruning> Cyrius, oh, stylistically, Oshii sucks...
2008-03-18 23:27 < Cyrius> visual style
2008-03-18 23:27 < kim_bruning> Cyrius, I like SAC better, since it sticks closer to shirows own style... which rocks :-)
2008-03-18 23:27 < kim_bruning> Cyrius: have you seen the lain? ;-)
2008-03-18 23:28 < Cyrius> "the" lain?
2008-03-18 23:28 < kim_bruning> LOL
2008-03-18 23:28 < Luna-San> The biggest thing that bothers me about SAC was that stupid unitard fanservice outfit they got Motoko in. Otherwise it's awesome. But, hey, it *is* an anime.
2008-03-18 23:28 < kim_bruning> :-P
2008-03-18 23:28 < amidaniel> ugg ... anime
2008-03-18 23:28 < kim_bruning> Luna-San, on the gripping hand, Motoko is just that kinda character
2008-03-18 23:28 * amidaniel really wishes that fad would die out
2008-03-18 23:28 < kim_bruning> Luna-San, or was...
2008-03-18 23:28 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, it's not a fad, so won't die out
2008-03-18 23:28 < Luna-San> But she even wears it to see the prime minister! >:o
2008-03-18 23:29 < amidaniel> kim_bruning: Yes it is, so yes it will
2008-03-18 23:29 < kim_bruning> Luna-San, in the 2nd season I think she changes into more sensible clothing :-P
2008-03-18 23:29 < amidaniel> The sooner the better
2008-03-18 23:29 < Luna-San> Besides, I read the American version of GITS, with Motoko's lil boat orgy censored out.
2008-03-18 23:29 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, not unless hollywood and bollywood are fads too
2008-03-18 23:29 < kim_bruning> Luna-San, Shirow is kinda allrounder :-P
2008-03-18 23:29 < Luna-San> And yeah, second season saw her in real-person clothes.
2008-03-18 23:29 < kim_bruning> Luna-San, which was wiser, IMHO ;-)
2008-03-18 23:30 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, anime is just a huge catch-all term. There's not even a single style
2008-03-18 23:30 < amidaniel> kim_bruning: No, those are industries. What they produce, however, are often fads.
2008-03-18 23:30 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, just like "hollywood movie" is a huge catch-all
2008-03-18 23:30 < Luna-San> Shirow has excellent artistic style. Though I sometimes prefer to take him through a slight filter (say, he seeds GITS, but the movies and SAC are ultimately produced by others)
2008-03-18 23:30 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, fair deal :-)
2008-03-18 23:30 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, some of what they produce is nice, and 80% of what they produce sucks ;-)
2008-03-18 23:31 < amidaniel> more like 95%, but yes, some of what they produce is nice :)
2008-03-18 23:31 < kim_bruning> Luna-San, I liked man-machine interface (manga0
2008-03-18 23:31 < kim_bruning> Luna-San, that dude has an insane level of attention to detail
2008-03-18 23:31 < Luna-San> I wouldn't call that my favorite, but I did enjoy it. :)
2008-03-18 23:32 < Luna-San> Haven't looked at this GITS 1.5 thing, just yet. I think that's straight Shirow, still?
2008-03-18 23:32 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, so there you go. it's true of any industry
2008-03-18 23:32 < kim_bruning> Luna-San, no idea... linky?
2008-03-18 23:32 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, also, sometimes there's huge variation even within a franchise (like Ghost in the Shell :-P )
2008-03-18 23:33 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, So I don't like the first two movies directed by Mamoru Oshii... even though that inspired the matrix ^^;;
2008-03-18 23:33 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, otoh, maybe you hate the matrix too?
2008-03-18 23:33 < Luna-San> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell_1.5:_Human-Error_Processor <-- ah, it's "deleted scenes" from MMI
2008-03-18 23:33 < kim_bruning> in which case I don't blame you :-P
2008-03-18 23:33 < kim_bruning> amidaniel, no arguing with taste
2008-03-18 23:33 < Schrodinger_Cat> O Noes!
2008-03-18 23:34 < Schrodinger_Cat> Arthur C. Clark is dead!
2008-03-18 23:34 < kim_bruning> Schrodinger_Cat, yeah, I saw :-(
2008-03-18 23:34 < kim_bruning> I mean, you knew it was coming
2008-03-18 23:34 < kim_bruning> but still
2008-03-18 23:35 < Luna-San> Speaking of Oshii, though, Jin-Roh is damned awesome stuff.
2008-03-18 23:36 < kim_bruning> hmmm
2008-03-18 23:42 < andrew_rumble> blog
2008-03-18 23:43 < andrew_rumble> blog
2008-03-18 23:43 < Soms> No.
2008-03-18 23:45 < Luna-San> You know what else is awesome? I saw an episode of Law & Order where STEPHEN COLBERT plays the perp.
2008-03-18 23:49 < Cyrius> Luna-San: did he commit the crime for America?
2008-03-18 23:49 < Luna-San> Sadly he was not in character. But he did have his reasons.
2008-03-18 23:51 * Cyrius puts a cat
2008-03-18 23:51 < Cyrius> pets, damnit
2008-03-18 23:52 < NotACow> punts
2008-03-18 23:52 * kim_bruning baas at NotACow
2008-03-18 23:52 < NotACow> Luna-San: we recorded that ep, although we haven't watched it yet
2008-03-18 23:53 < Luna-San> It's a pretty good one. I really didn't like CI, at first, but the series has grown on me.
2008-03-18 23:59 < Apple> anyone heard of windows cardspace?
2008-03-19 00:01 < NotACow> moo
2008-03-19 00:02 < Soms> baaa
2008-03-19 00:09 < Messedrocker> somithers!
2008-03-19 00:09 < Soms> messy!
2008-03-19 00:10 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O
2008-03-19 00:11 < Soms> kitty!
2008-03-19 00:12 < Enterprise_Cat> O_O
2008-03-19 00:12 * Soms pats the kitty
2008-03-19 00:12 < Enterprise_Cat> :)
2008-03-19 00:12 * Enterprise_Cat purrs softly
2008-03-19 00:12 < Soms> Oh and cimon too?
2008-03-19 00:12 < zocky> mmm.... the weather panel app says the weather outside is "freezing fog"
2008-03-19 00:12 < Soms> zocky: That's interesting.
2008-03-19 00:12 < cimon> hmm
2008-03-19 00:13 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O
2008-03-19 00:13 < zocky> good thing I'm going to sleep now... it will hopefully be nicer when I wake up some time in the afternoon
2008-03-19 00:13 < cimon> freezing and fog don't generally go together all that wel..
2008-03-19 00:13 < zocky> cimon, we have that all the time in the winter
2008-03-19 00:13 < zocky> dirty fog that freezes on your face
2008-03-19 00:13 < cimon> usual folk wisdom is that fog eats snow and anything frozen...
2008-03-19 00:14 < cimon> because the prohibitive cost temperature-wise of changing gaseus water into liquid water
2008-03-19 00:14 * zocky will never understand why romans thought building a city in a bogy hole surrounded by mountains was a good idea
2008-03-19 00:14 < Enterprise_Cat> That last bit of the topic is way to confusing unless you actually visit the page
2008-03-19 00:15 < Soms> zocky: Where do you live?
2008-03-19 00:15 < zocky> Soms, ljubljana, slovenia
2008-03-19 00:15 < Soms> Ah, explains the freezing fog.
2008-03-19 00:16 < zocky> i know why they built a city here... it's on the only road that goes from italy to panonia, right where two hill chains come together
2008-03-19 00:16 < zocky> the climate stills sucks though
2008-03-19 00:16 < Enterprise_Cat> Guess where I live?
2008-03-19 00:16 < Enterprise_Cat> r/?
2008-03-19 00:16 < Soms> Where?
2008-03-19 00:16 < zocky> land of feline lizards?
2008-03-19 00:17 < Enterprise_Cat> No
2008-03-19 00:17 < Enterprise_Cat> Intollerable Southern California
2008-03-19 00:17 < Soms> Oh the land of feline lizard people.
2008-03-19 00:19 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O
2008-03-19 00:19 < Enterprise_Cat> Soms: I meant the part about removing blue-links
2008-03-19 00:19 < Soms> Pardon?
2008-03-19 00:19 < Enterprise_Cat> When I said the topic confuses me
2008-03-19 00:19 * zocky suspects his washing machine was designed by microsoft
2008-03-19 00:20 < zocky> the UI is so user-friendly that it's useless
2008-03-19 00:20 < zocky> yikes, topic creep
2008-03-19 00:20 < Enterprise_Cat> Your-washing-machine has encountered a problem and needs to close. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. .
2008-03-19 00:20 * Enterprise_Cat stares at Soms's +o
2008-03-19 00:20 < Soms> damn
2008-03-19 00:21 < Soms> cant the topic just be the way I want it automagicly?
2008-03-19 00:21 < Cyrius> no.
2008-03-19 00:21 < Enterprise_Cat> heh
2008-03-19 00:21 < Soms> Well then, why not?
2008-03-19 00:21 < Enterprise_Cat> Soms: Make an alias
2008-03-19 00:21 * zocky remembers the only time we managed to keep the topic short
2008-03-19 00:21 < Soms> No thanks.
2008-03-19 00:21 < zocky> it was something like "wiki: up| no logging"
2008-03-19 00:21 < Soms> go fix it then
2008-03-19 00:22 < Soms> heh
2008-03-19 00:22 < zocky> Soms, i'd just delete most of it
2008-03-19 00:22 < Soms> then fix it
2008-03-19 00:22 < Cyrius> I remember when the topic used to say public logging was punishable by [[crushing by elephant]]
2008-03-19 00:22 < Soms> dont whine about it, just fix it.
2008-03-19 00:22 < Soms> all done?
2008-03-19 00:22 < Cyrius> cut the "remove blue links"
2008-03-19 00:22 < Cyrius> or not
2008-03-19 00:23 < Soms> go for it
2008-03-19 00:23 * Soms delegates
2008-03-19 00:23 < Soms> =)
2008-03-19 00:23 < Cyrius> if I had really wanted it done, I would have opped myself
2008-03-19 00:23 < zocky> likewise
2008-03-19 00:23 < Soms> heh alright then
2008-03-19 00:24 < Soms> dont whine about something you're not ready to do yourself =P
2008-03-19 00:24 < kim_bruning> :-P
2008-03-19 00:24 < zocky> Soms, complain != critique != whine
2008-03-19 00:24 * Soms smothers kim_bruning
2008-03-19 00:24 < Cyrius> it was just a suggestion
2008-03-19 00:24 < Enterprise_Cat> >:(
2008-03-19 00:25 < Cyrius> given Enterprise_Cat's complaint about confusion
2008-03-19 00:25 * Soms nods
2008-03-19 00:25 < Soms> O_O
2008-03-19 00:25 < Cyrius> long =O
2008-03-19 00:25 < Enterprise_Cat> O WELL
2008-03-19 00:25 < Cyrius> long topic is long
2008-03-19 00:25 * Enterprise_Cat is not going to start topic warring
2008-03-19 00:25 < Cyrius> no topic warring!
2008-03-19 00:26 < zocky> next person that changes the topic gets a kick in the nads
2008-03-19 00:26 < Soms> zocky: Do I get a dreamsicle afterwards?
2008-03-19 00:26 * Enterprise_Cat pushes Soms into /topic
2008-03-19 00:26 < Cyrius> around here I wouldn't be surprised to find someone who was into that
2008-03-19 00:26 < zocky> Cyrius, good point
2008-03-19 00:27 < Cyrius> I can't recall anyone saying they were into that sort of thing, but I can't rule it out
2008-03-19 00:27 < Enterprise_Cat> Fill in red links is ambigous too
2008-03-19 00:27 < Sean-> hey can anyone report a wikipedia page for vandalism
2008-03-19 00:27 < Cyrius> it's less confusingly so
2008-03-19 00:27 < Enterprise_Cat> But, not as much so when it said "Remove blue links"
2008-03-19 00:27 < zocky> turn red links blue
2008-03-19 00:27 < Enterprise_Cat> Sean-: No, you fix it yourself
2008-03-19 00:27 < zocky> is what we used to call it
2008-03-19 00:27 < Enterprise_Cat> zocky: There you go!
2008-03-19 00:27 < Cyrius> Sean-: yes, and anyone can fix vandalized pages themselves too
2008-03-19 00:27 < Enterprise_Cat> I like that!
2008-03-19 00:27 < Soms> Sean-: Yes, fix it and then warn the user.
2008-03-19 00:27 < Sean-> Brian Posehn mention on Conan tonight a joke about looking himself on wikipedia and now hundred of user are vandalizing his page addingt hat
2008-03-19 00:28 * Cyrius takes a look

2008-03-19 00:28 < Soms> Hold on.

2008-03-19 00:28 < zocky> Enterprise_Cat, nah :P
2008-03-19 00:28 * Enterprise_Cat is afraid to

2008-03-19 00:32 < Enterprise_Cat> It wasn't me
2008-03-19 00:32 < Soms> hahaha
2008-03-19 00:32 < Enterprise_Cat> It was the new editor!
2008-03-19 00:33 < zocky> ah, I see Enterprise_Cat took advantage of me sprotecting the page to change the topic again
2008-03-19 00:33 < zocky> nadbot, !kick Enterprise_Cat

2008-03-19 00:35 * Soms kicks Enterprise_Cat in the nads
2008-03-19 00:36 * Enterprise_Cat was going to give Soms a cookie, but decides not to
2008-03-19 00:36 < Enterprise_Cat> omg!
2008-03-19 00:36 < Enterprise_Cat> Huggle had more than 4 people in it!
2008-03-19 00:36 < Enterprise_Cat> err
2008-03-19 00:36 < Enterprise_Cat> #huggle

2008-03-19 00:39 * Soms runs away
2008-03-19 00:40 * Enterprise_Cat sends the dogs after Soms
2008-03-19 00:40 * Soms reminds Enterprise_Cat he is a cat, and sends the dogs after Enterprise_Cat
2008-03-19 00:40 < Cyrius> I see someone beat me to upgrading the protection =/
2008-03-19 00:40 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O
2008-03-19 00:41 < Soms> why did he do that?
2008-03-19 00:41 < Soms> we'd get alot of the lurking accounts banned tonight
2008-03-19 00:44 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O
2008-03-19 00:45 < Enterprise_Cat> Join flooders!
2008-03-19 00:45 < Luna-San> 3 accounts in 5 minutes is a bit quick; maybe they're worried it'll turn into another Colbert.
2008-03-19 00:45 < Luna-San> I do tend to favor semi, though. As you say, they've gotta run out of sleepers.
2008-03-19 00:46 < Luna-San> Went through and warned/welcomed/blocked, as needed. >.> Most of them were one-edit wonders, but some kept at it, for good or for ill.
2008-03-19 00:47 < Luna-San> And for some reason Firefox never seems to like having that many tabs open.
2008-03-19 00:48 < Luna-San> More probably this laptop's shoddy memory cap doesn't like it. >.>
2008-03-19 00:49 < Enterprise_Cat> Luna-San: Most likely
2008-03-19 00:49 * Soms bonks Luna-San
2008-03-19 00:50 < Soms> why are you using firefox?
2008-03-19 00:50 < Luna-San> B-but I like it. :'{
2008-03-19 00:50 < Soms> Opera >.<
2008-03-19 00:50 < Enterprise_Cat> Firefox is teh rulz!
2008-03-19 00:50 < Soms> B..b...but it has a memory leak!
2008-03-19 00:51 < Luna-San> Tried it for a bit. I'd have to spend time getting addons and all that installed/configured, and I didn't notice any strong speed improvement at the time.
2008-03-19 00:51 < Enterprise_Cat> Soms: Not if you have 2.0.0.12 or higher
