freenode #wikipedia

2008-03-19 00:51 < Luna-San> Is a pretty nifty browser, though. I use it for some non-wiki stuff.
2008-03-19 00:51 < nokmar> FF sucks at memory nevertheless
2008-03-19 00:51 < Enterprise_Cat> I use Firefox for /everything/
2008-03-19 00:52 < Enterprise_Cat> nokmar: Not if you optimize it with some well documented tweeks
2008-03-19 00:52 < Enterprise_Cat> firefox.exe (200) Phys mem used: 78,489 KB Peak: 105,745 KB
2008-03-19 00:52 < Soms> That just uses more memory.
2008-03-19 00:53 < Soms> Safari or Opera is the way to go.
2008-03-19 00:53 < Enterprise_Cat> Soms: No
2008-03-19 00:53 < nokmar> I've hit 3k.
2008-03-19 00:53 < Enterprise_Cat> The tweak locks it to less that 110,000 KB
2008-03-19 00:53 < nokmar> 300 k, I mean.
2008-03-19 00:53 < Soms> Enterprise_Cat: Do I need to beat you?
2008-03-19 00:53 < Enterprise_Cat> than
2008-03-19 00:53 < Enterprise_Cat> Soms: NO! I WILL ALWAYS USE TEH FOX! NEVAH!!
2008-03-19 00:54 < Ceiling_Cat> Soms - any progress with that abuse complaint?
2008-03-19 00:54 < Soms> Ceiling_Cat: Should have been handled.
2008-03-19 00:54 < Soms> Was it not?
2008-03-19 00:54 < Ceiling_Cat> that was to sprintPCS, right?
2008-03-19 00:54 < nokmar> Protip: avoid the crazy FF fanboiz
2008-03-19 00:54 < Ceiling_Cat> Because I had to block a huge range like 2 days ago because of the same guy
2008-03-19 00:55 < Soms> I sent it to Sprintlink the commercial end of things. But it was a sprintpcs user, yes.
2008-03-19 00:55 < Ceiling_Cat> 05:32, 16 March 2008 Raul654 (Talk | contribs | block) blocked "70.6.0.0/16 (Talk)" (anon. only, account creation blocked) with an expiry time of 1 year ? (Range used by Scibaby) (Unblock)
2008-03-19 00:55 < Soms> Alright hold on.
2008-03-19 00:56 < Soms> PM?
2008-03-19 01:00 < Ceiling_Cat> See PM
2008-03-19 01:00 < Soms> I'm on it.
2008-03-19 01:00 < Ceiling_Cat> Did they tell you the problem had been resolved?
2008-03-19 01:01 < Ceiling_Cat> (and if so, did it predate that block?)
2008-03-19 01:01 < Soms> I had gotten an email from a Ted Balmer telling me the issue had been resolved and my ticket was closed.
2008-03-19 01:01 < Soms> let me check the block
2008-03-19 01:01 < Soms> Yes, it predated your block. He must have signed up with another account, or they didnt terminate him.
2008-03-19 01:02 < Soms> I'll INOC over to sprint and see what they say.
2008-03-19 01:02 < Ceiling_Cat> why do I have a feeling it's the latter
2008-03-19 01:02 < Ceiling_Cat> that they lied to you and told you it was taken care of
2008-03-19 01:02 < Soms> I can reopen the ticket if its not resolved.
2008-03-19 01:02 < Ceiling_Cat> (make sure to mention to them that as of now, he's caused something like 1/4 of all Spring PCS to be blocked)
2008-03-19 01:03 < Soms> lets take this to pm though
2008-03-19 01:03 < Soms> Ceiling_Cat: Go perform a preemptive strike and take out the other 3/4?
2008-03-19 01:03 < Soms> That'd cause them to notice.
2008-03-19 01:03 < Ceiling_Cat> I'm taking them out as he uses them
2008-03-19 01:03 < OverlordQ> heh
2008-03-19 01:03 < Ceiling_Cat> despite my reputation, I'd prefer to avoid collateral damage if possible
2008-03-19 01:04 < Soms> "Due to sock puppetry abuse from Sprint PCS by User: we have blocked all of Sprint PCS until the abuse issue is resolved. Blame it on Akon."
2008-03-19 01:04 < Ceiling_Cat> I did that to Lir
2008-03-19 01:04 < Ceiling_Cat> His university was not happy
2008-03-19 01:04 < Ceiling_Cat> (at me or him)
2008-03-19 01:04 < Soms> Ok, so s/Akon/Soms
2008-03-19 01:04 < Ceiling_Cat> It worked like magic, though
2008-03-19 01:04 < Soms> er
2008-03-19 01:04 < Soms> Somitho
2008-03-19 01:05 < Ceiling_Cat> anyway, please re-open the ticket, let them know it didn't work
2008-03-19 01:05 < Ceiling_Cat> and if possible find out if they lied and told you everything was fine and it wasn't
2008-03-19 01:05 < Soms> No problem, reopening it now.
2008-03-19 01:05 < Ceiling_Cat> I'd be very interested to know
2008-03-19 01:05 < Soms> Once its reopen I'll INOC the NOC and get an engineer to pull up the resolution.
2008-03-19 01:05 < Ceiling_Cat> INOC?
2008-03-19 01:06 < Soms> s/reopen/reopened
2008-03-19 01:06 < Enterprise_Cat> INGSOC?
2008-03-19 01:06 < Soms> INOC-DBA
2008-03-19 01:06 < Ceiling_Cat> NOC = Network Operations Center
2008-03-19 01:06 < Ceiling_Cat> I don't know what INOC is
2008-03-19 01:06 < Soms> Dial by ASN.
2008-03-19 01:06 < Soms> [[INOC-DBA]]
2008-03-19 01:06 < Not_Rinn> Infiltrate?
2008-03-19 01:06 < Enterprise_Cat> INGSOC!
2008-03-19 01:06 < Not_Rinn> Soms is going on a mission!
2008-03-19 01:06 < Enterprise_Cat> *Big Brother Is Watching You!*
2008-03-19 01:06 < Soms> Rinn: Maybe.
2008-03-19 01:07 < Soms> Andy and Simon in rugby jerseys at NZNOG with their ASN is hillarious though.
2008-03-19 01:07 < Ceiling_Cat> So it's a one-stop clearing house for contacting various ISP's NOCs?
2008-03-19 01:07 < OverlordQ> rofl, they got ASN jackets?
2008-03-19 01:07 < Rinn> Seriously. I GNOP'd it at SNS during the DFNNC.
2008-03-19 01:07 < Soms> basicly
2008-03-19 01:07 < Ceiling_Cat> hrm
2008-03-19 01:07 < Rinn> KMM.
2008-03-19 01:09 < Soms> Ceiling_Cat: Get an IP phone.
2008-03-19 01:09 < OverlordQ> Ceiling_Cat: think of it as a private telephone network where real men get work done :P
2008-03-19 01:09 < Ceiling_Cat> As of this week, I have Skype
2008-03-19 01:10 * Ceiling_Cat is hopelessly behind on telephony technology
2008-03-19 01:10 < Ceiling_Cat> I used a rotary phone until I was 20
2008-03-19 01:10 < Ceiling_Cat> I actually have a few sitting around
2008-03-19 01:10 * Ceiling_Cat wonders how many people my age know what a rotary phone is
2008-03-19 01:11 < JerseyDevil86> i know
2008-03-19 01:14 < Soms> Ceiling_Cat: If you get an IP Phone, I'll set you up an extension under 11867.
2008-03-19 01:14 < Soms> So you can call around for your issues.
2008-03-19 01:16 < Ceiling_Cat> at the risk of asking as stupid question, what qualifies as an IP Phone?
2008-03-19 01:16 < JT> a telephone that uses voip
2008-03-19 01:16 < Ceiling_Cat> hardware authentication in the phone?
2008-03-19 01:16 * Enterprise_Cat is now going to bed, good night!
2008-03-19 01:17 < Ceiling_Cat> JT - skype qualifies as that
2008-03-19 01:17 < JT> it's a softphone
2008-03-19 01:17 < JT> a proprietary softphone
2008-03-19 01:17 < Soms> You'd need something you could modify the SIP connections under.
2008-03-19 01:18 < Soms> Softphones work, but I dont recommend them.
2008-03-19 01:18 < Ceiling_Cat> ok, so I need an actual hardware VOIP phone?
2008-03-19 01:18 < Soms> Avaya makes a cheap one.
2008-03-19 01:18 < Soms> Right.
2008-03-19 01:18 < Soms> Linksys I believe just released one.
2008-03-19 01:18 * Soms kills JT's PRI.
2008-03-19 01:18 < Soms> =P
2008-03-19 01:19 < SynergeticMag> Luna-San:I'm mad at you
2008-03-19 01:19 < JT> polycom make nice ip phones
2008-03-19 01:19 < JT> i have about a dozen here
2008-03-19 01:19 < Luna-San> Hm?
2008-03-19 01:19 < SynergeticMag> you beat me to the revert
2008-03-19 01:19 < Soms> Polycom is nice, but hard to get support for.
2008-03-19 01:19 < Attackronym> Intellectual property phones.
2008-03-19 01:19 * Luna-San hides
2008-03-19 01:19 < Soms> No, Internet Protocol.
2008-03-19 01:20 < SynergeticMag> nice catch though
2008-03-19 01:20 < Soms> see [[VoIP]]
2008-03-19 01:20 < Attackronym> Violation of International Police?
2008-03-19 01:20 < Attackronym> That has nothing to do with intellectual property phones.
2008-03-19 01:20 < Soms> ....
2008-03-19 01:21 * Soms sends Rinn to live in Fiji
2008-03-19 01:21 < JT> Soms: hard to get support for?
2008-03-19 01:21 < Soms> Yes.
2008-03-19 01:21 < Soms> Polycom isnt exactly easy to deal with from my experiences.
2008-03-19 01:21 < Ceiling_Cat> I'm going to head to bed
2008-03-19 01:21 < Ceiling_Cat> goodnight
2008-03-19 01:21 * Attackronym poisons the water supply!
2008-03-19 01:21 < Ceiling_Cat> (Soms, I'll take your offer under advisement)
2008-03-19 01:21 < Soms> gnite Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-19 01:21 < Ceiling_Cat> (Thank you)
2008-03-19 01:21 < JT> shrug, i find it so well supported in the community that i don't need to speak to polycom
2008-03-19 01:21 < Soms> Np
2008-03-19 01:21 * Ceiling_Cat waves
2008-03-19 01:22 < JT> and they have the best sound quality
2008-03-19 01:22 < Soms> JT: Will the community offer to RMA my phones?
2008-03-19 01:22 < JT> i doubt it
2008-03-19 01:22 < JT> but there is ebay
2008-03-19 01:22 < JT> that's good for rma ;)
2008-03-19 01:22 < Soms> hah
2008-03-19 01:23 < Soms> Who do you work for again?
2008-03-19 01:23 < JT> i haven't actually had a polycom bricked btw
2008-03-19 01:24 < JT> but if we do need to rma we would do it through the distributor
2008-03-19 01:24 < Soms> I got 3 for testing, and only 1 arrived working. Took them almost a week to replace.
2008-03-19 01:25 < JT> if it's important to have some piece of hardware working, i keep spares
2008-03-19 01:25 < JT> i don't trust anyone to replace fast enough
2008-03-19 01:25 < JT> in some cases even 4 hours is way too slow
2008-03-19 01:26 < Soms> Right, but doesnt it kinda turn you off of a device when 2 show up dead?
2008-03-19 01:27 < Soms> I've got 2x 7975G's here at home, one in the basement work center and one in my home office.
2008-03-19 01:27 < JT> yeah it would, can't say it's ever happened to me

2008-03-19 02:39 < RigVeda> hi
2008-03-19 02:39 < RigVeda> i'd like to ask why guam is not called a state on wikipedia
2008-03-19 02:39 < RigVeda> a state of the united states of america
2008-03-19 02:40 < RigVeda> it is a part of the USA
2008-03-19 02:41 < AdamBishop> it's a territory, not a state
2008-03-19 02:41 < RigVeda> but its a part of the USA
2008-03-19 02:41 < RigVeda> ok...
2008-03-19 02:41 < Mike_H> It can be a part of the USA and not be a state.
2008-03-19 02:41 < AdamBishop> yes but it's not a state
2008-03-19 02:41 < Mike_H> See Puerto Rico.
2008-03-19 02:42 < RigVeda> ok thank you
2008-03-19 02:42 < Mike_H> wtf
2008-03-19 02:42 < AdamBishop> hmm.
2008-03-19 02:43 < Soms> It's 3:43am in Virginia, forgive the poor kid.
2008-03-19 02:43 < AdamBishop> it's 3:43 where I am too
2008-03-19 02:43 < Mike_H> Soms: I just loved how he like, argued back
2008-03-19 02:43 < AdamBishop> and where Mike is
2008-03-19 02:43 < Soms> haha
2008-03-19 02:44 < Soms> AdamBishop: You're in Canukistan though, so you're an acception.
2008-03-19 02:44 < Soms> Mike is just Mike.
2008-03-19 02:44 < Mike_H> <Soms> Mike is just fabulous.
2008-03-19 02:44 < Mike_H> thank you!

2008-03-19 02:58 < bumm13> I used to have that song recorded on a (blank) cassette tape :-)
2008-03-19 02:58 < bumm13> (from the radio)
2008-03-19 02:59 < bumm13> sort of odd, given the title ;)
2008-03-19 02:59 < bumm13> since I was like 7 or 8
2008-03-19 03:06 < bumm13> that thing Phil does at about 3:04 is a tad creepy :P
2008-03-19 03:07 < Mike_H> bumm13: He was the father of the booty shake.
2008-03-19 03:07 < Mike_H> And you think Beyonce invented it? She clearly watched Easy Lover as a kid!
2008-03-19 03:07 < bumm13> haha
2008-03-19 03:08 < bumm13> (hmm, I was right, the video is a key higher than the album recording of the song)

2008-03-19 03:22 < mavhc> is it 1 second long?
2008-03-19 03:22 < Mike_H> mavhc: shush
2008-03-19 03:23 < Soms> No mavhc: Around 5 seconds.
2008-03-19 03:23 < Mike_H> Okay, I think Season 5 is the only one that has the closest thing to full episodes
2008-03-19 03:23 < Mike_H> http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?id=1557518&vid=143978
2008-03-19 03:23 < Soms> A whole season remember?
2008-03-19 03:26 < Mike_H> ancjr: Marcia Brady was on Celebrity Fit Club 5
2008-03-19 03:26 < Mike_H> she was really cute-looking
2008-03-19 03:26 < Mike_H> but a total alki
2008-03-19 03:26 < ancjr> heh
2008-03-19 03:26 * ancjr is watching carnie wilson talk about her road rage experience
2008-03-19 03:27 < ancjr> you know, i've had them yell at me on the road too
2008-03-19 03:27 < ancjr> but i consider it a compliment :)
2008-03-19 03:27 < Mike_H> ancjr: Da Brat vomited after a mile run
2008-03-19 03:28 < Mike_H> and Maureen McCormick walks up to the puddle
2008-03-19 03:28 < Mike_H> and goes
2008-03-19 03:28 < Mike_H> "Whoever's this is...had a salad..."
2008-03-19 03:28 < ancjr> hah
2008-03-19 03:28 * SynergeticMag waits for someone to revert him
2008-03-19 03:30 < Mike_H> ancjr: Oh, wow, I just saw Tiffany in a tankini
2008-03-19 03:30 < Mike_H> she does not wear it well
2008-03-19 03:31 < Mike_H> her boobs are really the place where she packed the pounds on
2008-03-19 03:31 < Mike_H> and since she isn't 16 anymore
2008-03-19 03:31 < Mike_H> they look pretty saggy
2008-03-19 03:31 < Mike_H> Oh, she's only 152 pounds at the start
2008-03-19 03:31 < SynergeticMag> like grandma used to make?
2008-03-19 03:31 < Mike_H> she must be like, 5'1"
2008-03-19 03:33 < Mike_H> Oh, huh, she's 5'5"
2008-03-19 03:34 < ancjr> my ex was 6'1" and 180 - perfect body
2008-03-19 03:35 < nokmar> what's used for template vand?
2008-03-19 03:35 < AAAA__> hello
2008-03-19 03:36 < AdamBishop> I wish I weighed 180 again. Living off residence cafeteria food again would help.
2008-03-19 03:36 < Soms> Hello AAAA__.
2008-03-19 03:36 < AAAA__> any steward here
2008-03-19 03:36 < Soms> #wikimedia-stewards
2008-03-19 03:36 < AAAA__> thx
2008-03-19 03:36 < nokmar> or is there a specialized template for template vandalism at all?
2008-03-19 03:36 < Soms> No problem.
2008-03-19 03:36 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: Ross the Intern was the best Fit Club contestant ever
2008-03-19 03:37 < Mike_H> because I used to hate him
2008-03-19 03:37 < Mike_H> but now I like him
2008-03-19 03:37 < Soms> That guy from Leno?
2008-03-19 03:37 < Soms> Is that how he got skinny?
2008-03-19 03:37 < Mike_H> Yeah.
2008-03-19 03:39 < Soms> I guess I should watch more Vh1.
2008-03-19 03:39 < Mike_H> CFC 5 had the best cast, I think
2008-03-19 03:39 < Mike_H> it was Men vs. Women
2008-03-19 03:40 < Mike_H> Warren G, Dustin Diamond, Ross the Intern, Cledus T. Judd
2008-03-19 03:40 < Mike_H> vs.
2008-03-19 03:40 < Mike_H> Kimberley Locke, Tiffany, Maureen McCormick, Da Brat
2008-03-19 03:42 < Apple`> it's a boy!
2008-03-19 03:42 < Soms> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_billionaires_(2008)
2008-03-19 03:42 < Soms> Someone needs to expand that.
2008-03-19 03:42 < Apple`> damn, topic is +t or I would put it into the topic :/
2008-03-19 03:42 < Soms> Congrats Apple`!
2008-03-19 03:43 < Apple`> thank you soms
2008-03-19 03:43 < AdamBishop> hey bishonen
2008-03-19 03:43 < Apple`> baby is out cold finally it looks like
2008-03-19 03:46 < AdamBishop> how do I go about adding new parameters to a template? I want to add a task-force parameter to a WikiProject banner.
2008-03-19 03:46 < Soms> Apple`: What would you like it to say?
2008-03-19 03:48 < Soms> !ping
2008-03-19 03:54 < Apple`> Soms: dunno, you choose
2008-03-19 03:59 < AdamBishop> geez, what happened, there's a baby boom in #wikipedia lately
2008-03-19 03:59 < Mike_H> You and another person is not a boom.
2008-03-19 04:00 < Soms> AdamBishop: Someone else forget to wrap it before they tap it?
2008-03-19 04:00 < Soms> >.<
2008-03-19 04:00 < Soms> Congrats to you and yours also AdamBishop.
2008-03-19 04:00 < nokmar> =P
2008-03-19 04:01 < AdamBishop> well, ta bu too. That's three!
2008-03-19 04:01 < Soms> and its just march
2008-03-19 04:01 < nokmar> I blame it on the lack of morals caused by video games in society
2008-03-19 04:01 < Soms> I'll have to get started now to make december.
2008-03-19 04:02 < Soms> Anyone wanna go make babies?
2008-03-19 04:02 < nokmar> because everything is related to Super Smash Brawl.
2008-03-19 04:02 < nokmar> Soms: nah, too busy playing.
2008-03-19 04:02 < Soms> =(
2008-03-19 04:02 < nokmar> brawl is the next generation
2008-03-19 04:02 < nokmar> 's birth control
2008-03-19 04:03 < AdamBishop> hmm. Well, she did get pregnant around the time we got a Wii
2008-03-19 04:03 < AdamBishop> it must be related!
2008-03-19 04:03 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: You have one powerful Wii!
2008-03-19 04:03 < AdamBishop> hahaha
2008-03-19 04:04 < nokmar> all pregnancies are related to the Wii.
2008-03-19 04:04 < Soms> so much for it being the birth control theory
2008-03-19 04:04 < mavhc> you'll be really annoyed to find out the cgi on your baby isn't an improvement on the previous generation of babies
2008-03-19 04:04 < nokmar> brawl is something you can put on the Wii, as birth control.
2008-03-19 04:05 < Soms> heh mavhc
2008-03-19 04:06 < mavhc> dude, look at the rendering of the hair on my ps3 baby! - damn, mine has no hair
2008-03-19 04:06 < Soms> haha
2008-03-19 04:07 < mavhc> make sure your xbox360 baby doesn't catch the plague though
2008-03-19 04:07 < Soms> The 360 should go die along with HD DVD.
2008-03-19 04:28 < Lubaf> Let's play / Master and servant...
2008-03-19 04:29 < Soms> O_o
2008-03-19 04:29 < Lycurgus> o_O
2008-03-19 04:29 < Soms> Mike_H, you've got a visitor.
2008-03-19 04:30 * Lubaf is playing Depeche Mode, actually.
2008-03-19 04:35 < Lycurgus> "Yi Ge Nan Ren!" The first sentence I understood on chinese tv.
2008-03-19 04:36 < Lycurgus> *Nan Hair
2008-03-19 04:36 < Lubaf> Lycurgus: Does it mean "Let's murder the Emperor!"?
2008-03-19 04:36 < Lycurgus> no, "It's a boy!".
2008-03-19 04:37 < Lubaf> Close enough.
2008-03-19 04:37 * Lubaf arrests Lycurgus on charges of conspiring to murder the Emperor.
2008-03-19 04:37 < Lycurgus> you mean murder the role?
2008-03-19 04:37 < AdamBishop> they should have said "ma ma ma!"
2008-03-19 04:37 < AdamBishop> "mother scold horse!"
2008-03-19 04:38 < Lubaf> "The stone eating lion in the poets den?"
2008-03-19 04:38 < Lycurgus> yeah, tones are very difficult on top of everything else.
2008-03-19 04:42 < Lycurgus> anybody seen "I am Legend"? It's basically just a 150 million dollar zombie movie isn't it?
2008-03-19 04:43 < Soms> It's very good.
2008-03-19 04:43 < Lubaf> Soms: Only as a feces receptacle.
2008-03-19 04:44 < Lycurgus> is it good like ho-hos, twinkies, and pizza are good food?
2008-03-19 04:44 < Soms> twinkies are horrid
2008-03-19 04:44 < Soms> but ho-ho's are alright
2008-03-19 04:45 < Lubaf> Lycurgus: No, more like pig intestines are fine dining.
2008-03-19 04:45 < Soms> in romania they are
2008-03-19 04:45 < Lubaf> Wait, there probably are people who eat pig intestines as fine dining.
2008-03-19 04:45 < Soms> heh
2008-03-19 04:45 < Soms> As I said, in romania they are.
2008-03-19 04:45 < Lycurgus> actually chitterlings if cleaned well and with vinegar I recall being rather tasty.
2008-03-19 04:46 < Lubaf> Anyway.
2008-03-19 04:46 < Lubaf> I Am Legend is horrible.
2008-03-19 04:47 < Lycurgus> I have no doubt of it, just wanted to hear somebody (else) say it.
2008-03-19 04:47 < Soms> I personally enjoyed it.
2008-03-19 04:47 < Lycurgus> I'm starting to hate on Will Smith.
2008-03-19 04:48 < Lubaf> Lycurgus: I don't hate Will Smith.
2008-03-19 04:48 < AdamBishop> but he's box office gold!
2008-03-19 04:48 < Lycurgus> he's kina the black Tom Cruise. Except nobody doubt's his sexuality.
2008-03-19 04:48 < Lubaf> I Am Legend is just terrible.
2008-03-19 04:48 < Lubaf> The book has been adapted twice before.
2008-03-19 04:48 < Lycurgus> I found "Happyness" infuriating.
2008-03-19 04:48 < Lubaf> Once with Charlton Heston.
2008-03-19 04:48 < Lubaf> Lycurgus: That one was not his fault.
2008-03-19 04:49 < Lubaf> His agents, yes, but not his.
2008-03-19 04:49 < Lubaf> *agent's
2008-03-19 04:49 < Lycurgus> can you believe it's made over a half billion (I am Legend)?
2008-03-19 04:50 < Lubaf> Lycurgus: I can.
2008-03-19 04:50 < Lubaf> But only because I know how random success can be.
2008-03-19 04:51 < Lycurgus> I'da gotten it last night at the redbox though if it wasn't out of it. Glad I've talked myself out of it because it will be there when I take "Live in thetime of Cholera" bck.
2008-03-19 04:51 < Lycurgus> or how tasteless and uncritical the general public and critics are.
2008-03-19 04:52 < Lycurgus> the paradigm case is the recent Superman movie which was so bad I couldn't watch more than about a third of it
2008-03-19 04:52 < Lycurgus> it got generally good reviews
2008-03-19 04:52 < Lycurgus> *Love
2008-03-19 04:52 < Mike_H> bah
2008-03-19 04:53 < Mike_H> we're getting hot weather again
2008-03-19 04:53 < Mike_H> A mix of clouds and sun with gusty winds. Warm. High 88F. Winds S at 20 to 30 mph.
2008-03-19 04:53 < Lubaf> Lycurgus: Well, it was good.
2008-03-19 04:53 < Lubaf> It was just so damn slow that you could make a five course dinner between plot points.
2008-03-19 04:54 < Mike_H> The current average high is 77.
2008-03-19 04:54 < Lycurgus> Lubaf: which one?
2008-03-19 04:54 < Lubaf> Oh, I was thinking of the original.
2008-03-19 04:54 < Lubaf> Didn't see the "recent".
2008-03-19 04:54 < Lubaf> I haven't seen Returns yet.
2008-03-19 04:54 < Lycurgus> don't.
2008-03-19 04:55 < Lycurgus> have a root canal or something instead.
2008-03-19 04:55 < Lubaf> The original was good, but slower than a sloth climbing a molasses tree.
2008-03-19 05:00 < Soms> illuminati-1: What do you do at VM?
2008-03-19 05:05 < ThePolecat_> "thus, Vitebsk food stamps were designed by Malevich in 1919"
2008-03-19 05:05 < ThePolecat_> they starved in a distinctly fancy manner.
2008-03-19 05:07 < ThePolecat_> (Malevich, probably the most avant-garde artist in the whole of Russia back then)
2008-03-19 05:24 < Mike5> no one has reverted the main page in 4 minutes :(
2008-03-19 05:27 < dungodung> so?
2008-03-19 05:27 < dungodung> main page hasn't been edited in a week
2008-03-19 05:27 < Mike5> oops, i meant today's FA
2008-03-19 05:28 < dungodung> well, it has been reverted 3 minutes ago
2008-03-19 05:29 < Mike5> yes, but for 5 minutes today's FA consisted solely of "ur dead"
2008-03-19 05:35 < Apple> the topic should really be changed to AppleBoy isntead of APple
2008-03-19 05:36 < Apple> Apple*
2008-03-19 05:42 < stefano_> morning
2008-03-19 05:46 < Apple> aww, baby is still sleeping :)
2008-03-19 05:47 < stefano_> hey congratulations Apple!
2008-03-19 06:11 < Kerotan> can some one close this RFA early please? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/nshesh
2008-03-19 06:30 * Mike_H NP: Paula Abdul - Rush Rush (1991)
2008-03-19 06:32 < Zoe_Volt> Hi?
2008-03-19 06:32 < Zoe_Volt> ...
2008-03-19 06:32 < Mike_H> hi

2008-03-19 06:35 < Mike_H> oh baby baby please!
2008-03-19 06:35 < ThePolecat> Sorry
2008-03-19 06:35 < ThePolecat> "Double Rush, ditto"
2008-03-19 06:35 < Mike_H> Rush
2008-03-19 06:35 < Mike_H> Rush
2008-03-19 06:35 < Mike_H> Hurry, hurry, lover, come to me!
2008-03-19 06:35 < ThePolecat> See't I mean...
2008-03-19 06:36 < Mike_H> Rush
2008-03-19 06:36 < Mike_H> Rush
2008-03-19 06:36 < Mike_H> I wanna see, I wanna see you get free with me
2008-03-19 06:36 < ThePolecat> hurry, hurry, prescription meds...
2008-03-19 06:36 < Mike_H> rofl
2008-03-19 06:36 < ThePolecat> okay, brb
2008-03-19 06:36 < Mike_H> k
2008-03-19 06:36 < ericlsx> :|
2008-03-19 06:37 < Mike_H> ericlsx: As I said before
2008-03-19 06:37 < Mike_H> <Mike_H> I loved Paula Abdul before she got hooked on the booze and pills or whatever.
2008-03-19 06:38 < ericlsx> :)
2008-03-19 06:39 < Mike_H> heh :)
2008-03-19 06:42 < ericlsx> Tibet
2008-03-19 06:42 < Mike_H> What about it?
2008-03-19 06:42 < ericlsx> Tibet
2008-03-19 06:42 < ericlsx> read news about tibet
2008-03-19 06:42 < pengo> bloody china
2008-03-19 06:42 < arcimboldo_> past tense or imperative=?
2008-03-19 06:42 < pengo> LEAVE BRITNEY AND TIBET ALONE!!!!
2008-03-19 06:43 < ericlsx> bloody?
2008-03-19 06:43 < Mike_H> ericlsx: That's what foreigners say when they mean "really really bad"
2008-03-19 06:43 < ericlsx> :(
2008-03-19 06:44 < pengo> the olympics should be interesting. i hope some athletes speak up.
2008-03-19 06:44 < Magnifier> oops
2008-03-19 06:44 < ericlsx> No one think the goverment was right?
2008-03-19 06:44 < arcimboldo_> me too - I hope some gold metal winners with Tibetan flags or some slogans will show up
2008-03-19 06:44 < pengo> and some countries speak up
2008-03-19 06:45 < Mike_H> Quite frankly, holding it in China was about a good of a decision as holding it in North Korea
2008-03-19 06:45 < Mike_H> No amount of money in their economy can erase simple liberties.
2008-03-19 06:46 < ericlsx> I have nothing to say
2008-03-19 06:46 < Mike_H> ericlsx: Where are you from?
2008-03-19 06:46 < Lubaf> NP: James Brown is Dead by LA Style.
2008-03-19 06:46 < ericlsx> China
2008-03-19 06:46 < Mike_H> ooh.
2008-03-19 06:46 < pengo> ericlsx: yeah probably safer not to say anything
2008-03-19 06:47 < arcimboldo_> I guessed so - because nobody outside of China considers the Chinese government to be right on Tibet.
2008-03-19 06:47 < ericlsx> haha
2008-03-19 06:47 < ericlsx> not so serious
2008-03-19 06:47 < pengo> :)
2008-03-19 06:48 < ericlsx> why all of you think tibet should be free
2008-03-19 06:48 < Lubaf> The 2008 Olympics are probably screwed.
2008-03-19 06:49 < Lubaf> If this keeps up, at least.
2008-03-19 06:49 < pengo> ericlsx: because it was an autonomous state before the chinese govt took it over
2008-03-19 06:50 < ericlsx> So it is now
2008-03-19 06:50 < pengo> ericlsx: and the people have been opressed
2008-03-19 06:50 < Lubaf> And because China's so corrupt that some African countries seem honest in comparison.
2008-03-19 06:50 < ericlsx> who knows?
2008-03-19 06:50 < Lubaf> Not just honest, but pillars of honesty.
2008-03-19 06:51 < pengo> ericlsx: who knows??
2008-03-19 06:51 < arcimboldo_> and because the culture of Tibet is being suppressed.
2008-03-19 06:52 < Lubaf> That is really hard to do, I'll have you know.
2008-03-19 06:52 < Phoenix-wiki> what's really hard to do?
2008-03-19 06:53 < pengo> ericlsx: and the dalai lama is a nice guy
2008-03-19 06:53 < Lubaf> Phoenix-wiki: Make any African country look like a pillar of honesty by comparison.
2008-03-19 06:53 < Phoenix-wiki> oh yeah
2008-03-19 06:53 < Phoenix-wiki> well they do
2008-03-19 06:53 < ericlsx> :(
2008-03-19 06:53 < Phoenix-wiki> though some do anyway...actually I can't think of any that do
2008-03-19 06:54 < Phoenix-wiki> Tunisia?
2008-03-19 06:54 < Phoenix-wiki> no others anyway
2008-03-19 06:54 < Lubaf> Phoenix-wiki: The plural is important, here.
2008-03-19 06:54 < pengo> if the shit doesn't hit the fan during the olympics, something has gone dangerously wrong.
2008-03-19 06:54 < Phoenix-wiki> yeah
2008-03-19 06:54 < Lubaf> pengo: It's hitting the fan right now.
2008-03-19 06:54 < Phoenix-wiki> not really
2008-03-19 06:55 < Lubaf> China's going apeshit over Tibet.
2008-03-19 06:55 < Phoenix-wiki> not as bad as it could
2008-03-19 06:55 < arcimboldo_> ericlsx: Why do you think the Chinese government is now sealing off Tibet and not letting any tourists or journalists report?
2008-03-19 06:55 < ericlsx> I haven't read news until today
2008-03-19 06:56 < Phoenix-wiki> clearly they have soemthign to hide
2008-03-19 06:56 < Phoenix-wiki> ericlsx, where are you from?
2008-03-19 06:56 < Mike_H> ericlsx: This has been news internationally for a week at least.
2008-03-19 06:56 < Mike_H> Phoenix-wiki: He's from China
2008-03-19 06:56 < pengo> ericlsx: same thing they did during the Tienanmen square massacres.. blocked off the media when they wanted to execute people
2008-03-19 06:56 < Phoenix-wiki> ah, I thought so
2008-03-19 06:56 < ericlsx> I just play WOW
2008-03-19 06:56 < Phoenix-wiki> and neer see anything else?
2008-03-19 06:56 < ThePolecat> "The bilateral relations to Uganda are practical and constructive"
2008-03-19 06:57 < Phoenix-wiki> even if you didn't read the papaers or watch the news
2008-03-19 06:57 < ThePolecat> That sounds like Diplomatese for "we hate their guts"
2008-03-19 06:57 < Phoenix-wiki> you're boun ot hear it
2008-03-19 06:57 < Phoenix-wiki> you're bound to hear it*
2008-03-19 06:57 < ericlsx> OK
2008-03-19 06:58 < ericlsx> I think I need to play WOW
2008-03-19 06:58 * Mike_H NP: Paula Abdul - Straight Up (1988)
2008-03-19 06:58 * Phoenix-wiki never heard that song
2008-03-19 06:58 < Mike_H> Phoenix-wiki: hold on
2008-03-19 06:59 < Mike_H> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu4NcgQZucE
2008-03-19 06:59 < Phoenix-wiki> kk
2008-03-19 06:59 < ericlsx> �ҿ�����
2008-03-19 06:59 < Phoenix-wiki> doesn't sound that good...
2008-03-19 06:59 < Mike_H> Phoenix-wiki: Listen to it all
2008-03-19 07:00 < arcimboldo_> utf-8 is the right coding
2008-03-19 07:00 < ThePolecat> they spin the hell out of it in China, it's impossible to miss it even there I believe.
2008-03-19 07:00 < ericlsx> I know, I just show a girl why we use English
2008-03-19 07:00 < arcimboldo_> that's the reason?
2008-03-19 07:01 < ericlsx> yes
2008-03-19 07:01 < arcimboldo_> ÎÒ¿´²»¶®?
2008-03-19 07:01 < ericlsx> sorry
2008-03-19 07:01 < ericlsx> it is mean I don't know
2008-03-19 07:02 < ericlsx> or I don't understand
2008-03-19 07:02 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: Was that song popular in Germany too?
2008-03-19 07:02 < Mike_H> Straight Up?
2008-03-19 07:02 < arcimboldo_> 不分
2008-03-19 07:02 < ThePolecat> If any was, than this
2008-03-19 07:02 < ThePolecat> *then
2008-03-19 07:02 < Mike_H> ah, it answered my question, that clever Wiki!
2008-03-19 07:02 < Mike_H> German Singles Chart 3
2008-03-19 07:02 < ericlsx> anyone type chinese
2008-03-19 07:02 < ThePolecat> I don't know, twas before my time
2008-03-19 07:02 < ThePolecat> ah right
2008-03-19 07:03 < ThePolecat> but it's the only Paula song played on the radio now
2008-03-19 07:03 < ThePolecat> but sometimes they play things that worked for American stations even though the song was never big in Germany
2008-03-19 07:03 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: Paula had six #1 songs here
2008-03-19 07:03 < Mike_H> Pretty much every one of her songs still gets airplay on A/C stations
2008-03-19 07:04 < Mike_H> except for maybe
2008-03-19 07:04 < Mike_H> "Promise of a New Day"
2008-03-19 07:04 < Mike_H> her last #1
2008-03-19 07:04 < ThePolecat> yea, New Wave was bigger than that dance stuff at the time
2008-03-19 07:04 < ThePolecat> so she was kind of smothered
2008-03-19 07:04 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: Oh, here, New Wave was pretty much dead by that time
2008-03-19 07:04 < Mike_H> (1988/1989)
2008-03-19 07:04 < NotACow> meow
2008-03-19 07:05 < ThePolecat> hm... well post-new-wave maybe
2008-03-19 07:05 < ThePolecat> but there was a lot more UK music
2008-03-19 07:05 < ThePolecat> even UK dance such as the ghastly Rick Astley
2008-03-19 07:05 < ThePolecat> err
2008-03-19 07:05 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: Rick Astley had a #1 hit here too
2008-03-19 07:05 < Mike_H> I think only one.
2008-03-19 07:05 < ThePolecat> UK simple pop
2008-03-19 07:05 < Mike_H> NotACow: Do you remember more than one?
2008-03-19 07:06 < ThePolecat> there was only one time where the charts reflected good music, and that was the mid-to-late 60s
2008-03-19 07:06 < NotACow> Mike_H: i do not pay attention to such things
2008-03-19 07:07 < Mike_H> NotACow: My sister could probably recite every #1 hit back in 1987
2008-03-19 07:07 < Mike_H> you're telling me you can't even remember if he had more than one hit?
2008-03-19 07:07 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: The Wikipedia article tells me he had two #1 hits in the US
2008-03-19 07:08 < Mike_H> But 1987/1988 kind of sucked, music-wise
2008-03-19 07:08 < Mike_H> Tiffany also had two #1s in that period
