2008-03-20 12:21 < AppleBoy> I see this conversation is going places
2008-03-20 12:21 < CharlotteWebb> scatterp what kind of device
2008-03-20 12:22 < Demi> and other more specialized ones you can go to for help. but in general if you're poor people aren's suing you.
2008-03-20 12:22 < Lucifer_Cat> AppleBoy: call him iRon
2008-03-20 12:22 < Demi> "aren't"
2008-03-20 12:22 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyN4ViZ21N0 take a look here
2008-03-20 12:22 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb its a psychic device basicly using technology its from new scientist
2008-03-20 12:22 < Lucifer_Cat> mexicanbanana: yeah, americans only want to make richer people miserable
2008-03-20 12:22 < freakerz> hello fellows
2008-03-20 12:22 < Lucifer_Cat> hey freak
2008-03-20 12:23 < Demi> there are specialized ones as well, for example, there's an organization in san francisco of tenants advocates, so they'll help you sue a landlord (or presumably represent you if are sued by one)
2008-03-20 12:23 < CharlotteWebb> psychic device eh
2008-03-20 12:23 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb best way i can describe it
2008-03-20 12:23 < Demi> another strategy is legal insurance
2008-03-20 12:23 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb kinda like a eeg but diffrent
2008-03-20 12:23 < Lucifer_Cat> CharlotteWebb: yup. quality WP material.
2008-03-20 12:23 < scatterp> Lucifer_Cat take a look first before you doubt it .. it came from new scientist
2008-03-20 12:24 < Demi> for example i have legal insurance; thirdly, if someone is making a claim against you for damages of some kind, they're often really going after your insurance company, in which case they will have representation
2008-03-20 12:24 < CharlotteWebb> electroencephalowhatsit
2008-03-20 12:24 < quanticle> AppleBoy: New baby colt?
2008-03-20 12:24 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb that could be another description lol
2008-03-20 12:24 < mexicanbanana> "also, getting the case admitted requires some real credentials" <-- You mean they won't even accept some suings to go to court? Then how could that stupid bitch who sued McDonald's over hot coffee get her way?
2008-03-20 12:24 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb so how can i find more info on it i searched google for days
2008-03-20 12:24 < Lucifer_Cat> scatterp: i cant watch the vid here. in any case, its a joke. also im a nobody, so my opinion isnt going to matter on getting it on/off WP
2008-03-20 12:25 < Lucifer_Cat> *it was
2008-03-20 12:25 < scatterp> Lucifer_Cat i dont care if its on wp i just want info on it its not a joke
2008-03-20 12:25 < CharlotteWebb> yeah youtube is teh fail on this connection
2008-03-20 12:25 < Lucifer_Cat> mexicanbanana: planning. lots of it.
2008-03-20 12:25 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb wait ill get a text link
2008-03-20 12:25 < freakerz> anyone knows how to get the "noteability" flag removed from a page?
2008-03-20 12:26 < scatterp> http://technology.newscientist.com/article/dn13449
2008-03-20 12:26 < Lucifer_Cat> scatterp: damn you, i meant that MY STMT was a joke
2008-03-20 12:26 < CharlotteWebb> freakerz, see the link that says "edit this page"
2008-03-20 12:26 < Lucifer_Cat> and if you dont have money, ure not that important. ergo you wont warrant that much planning/attention.
2008-03-20 12:26 < freakerz> mmm
2008-03-20 12:27 < Lucifer_Cat> it would be easier just to mug/kill you
2008-03-20 12:27 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb that link is a text based review but the video is a must see
2008-03-20 12:27 < CharlotteWebb> is it narrated by rick astley
2008-03-20 12:27 < freakerz> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habari
2008-03-20 12:28 < freakerz> oups
2008-03-20 12:28 < scatterp> CharlotteWebb whos rick astley ?
2008-03-20 12:28 < freakerz> damn, wrong chan lol
2008-03-20 12:28 < freakerz> CharlotteWebb: thanks! that worked
2008-03-20 12:28 < Lucifer_Cat> scatterp: sounds sweet. but i dont like the idea of "careful training"
2008-03-20 12:28 < Lucifer_Cat> CharlotteWebb: nope
2008-03-20 12:28 < scatterp> hmm well i just need some help researching it
2008-03-20 12:28 < scatterp> i mean i dont care if it goes in wp
2008-03-20 12:29 < Lucifer_Cat> and someone doesnt know who rick astley is.
2008-03-20 12:29 < scatterp> or if anyone believes or doesnt believe in it
2008-03-20 12:29 < Demi> mexicanbanana - a case like that is taken on contingency
2008-03-20 12:29 < freakerz> Lucifer_Cat: got rickrolled?
2008-03-20 12:29 < scatterp> carefull training is needed for microsoft voice recognition
2008-03-20 12:29 < Lucifer_Cat> scatterp: thats y i dont use it.
2008-03-20 12:30 < scatterp> :/
2008-03-20 12:30 < Lucifer_Cat> i have enough troubles making people understand my accent.
2008-03-20 12:30 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: You can't use it. You don't have Vista
2008-03-20 12:30 < scatterp> but how can i research this thing thats the question i dont want to get in to a debate as to the realness of it etc
2008-03-20 12:31 < Lucifer_Cat> werent there a slew of voice recognition and such softwares coming out a few years ago?
2008-03-20 12:31 < scatterp> Lucifer_Cat the vista one works just fine
2008-03-20 12:31 < Lucifer_Cat> i installed a free trial once
2008-03-20 12:31 < scatterp> :/
2008-03-20 12:31 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Well, I've heard some pretty good things about Dragon Naturally Speaking
2008-03-20 12:31 < Lucifer_Cat> scatterp: im not debating the usefulness/readiness/realness of it. you are just taking it all the wrong way.
2008-03-20 12:32 < scatterp> oh ok
2008-03-20 12:32 < scatterp> i have aspergers so that happens
2008-03-20 12:32 < IceKarma> Lucifer_Cat, what kind of accent do you have?
2008-03-20 12:32 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: so have i
2008-03-20 12:32 < scatterp> but seriously can any one help me research it
2008-03-20 12:32 < scatterp> or at least give me some pointers
2008-03-20 12:32 < Lucifer_Cat> IceKarma: one of those "which accent do you have?!?" tests i took told me i dont have one
2008-03-20 12:33 < Lucifer_Cat> but people around me speak southern
2008-03-20 12:33 < Lucifer_Cat> scatterp: google relentlessly. though im sure you have done it already.
2008-03-20 12:34 < Lucifer_Cat> time to look up aspergers
2008-03-20 12:34 < Lycurgus> check out Williams too
2008-03-20 12:34 < bumm13> not all people in the Southern U.S. have an accent
2008-03-20 12:34 < IceKarma> Dragon NaturallySpeaking is amazing
2008-03-20 12:35 < IceKarma> and hardly requires any training
2008-03-20 12:35 < scatterp> Lucifer_Cat it leads to misinterpretation thats all
2008-03-20 12:35 < Lucifer_Cat> is it possible to have ADHD, Autism and Aspergers all at the same time?
2008-03-20 12:35 < Lucifer_Cat> no im not a hypochondriac
2008-03-20 12:35 < scatterp> Lucifer_Cat no
2008-03-20 12:35 < Lucifer_Cat> if thats the word
2008-03-20 12:35 < Lucifer_Cat> well cuz i sure as hell suck at social interaction
2008-03-20 12:35 < Lycurgus> autism and aspergers differ in degree
2008-03-20 12:36 < scatterp> aspergers is part of the autism spectrum and adhd spectrum how ever
2008-03-20 12:36 < IceKarma> you can suck at socian interaction and be perfectly normal :P
2008-03-20 12:36 < scatterp> Lucifer_Cat can you look some one in the eye with out feeling uncomftable ?
2008-03-20 12:36 < Lucifer_Cat> "social skills of an autistic 3 year old" as my ex described it.
2008-03-20 12:36 < scatterp> Lucifer_Cat do you feel empathy for other people ?
2008-03-20 12:36 < Lycurgus> autism spectrum disorder sufferers are not normal
2008-03-20 12:36 < scatterp> Lucifer_Cat no that means you just dont get girls
2008-03-20 12:37 < Lucifer_Cat> scatterp: Q1
2008-03-20 12:37 < Lucifer_Cat> ugh
2008-03-20 12:37 < Lucifer_Cat> Q1: if im lying, no.
2008-03-20 12:37 < Lycurgus> the specific brain condition is not fully understood though
2008-03-20 12:37 < Lycurgus> yet
2008-03-20 12:37 < Lucifer_Cat> Q2: never ever.
2008-03-20 12:37 < scatterp> hmm
2008-03-20 12:37 < bumm13> I have decent everyday social skills, BUT I have to be in a certain context/comfort zone or I'm mostly glib (and avoidant)
2008-03-20 12:37 < Lucifer_Cat> oh empathy... not sympathy
2008-03-20 12:37 < scatterp> yes empathy
2008-03-20 12:37 * bumm13 suspects he has aspergers, and not necessarily because of "horrid" social skills
2008-03-20 12:37 < Lucifer_Cat> bumm13: same here. i cant say a word to newbies unless necessary
2008-03-20 12:38 < Lucifer_Cat> and i dont stop yapping once im in the zone
2008-03-20 12:38 < scatterp> just go to #wrongplanet
2008-03-20 12:38 < scatterp> they will diagnose you
2008-03-20 12:38 < bumm13> it ties in to certain situations
2008-03-20 12:38 < bumm13> yeah
2008-03-20 12:38 * IceKarma can be the life of the party... but only if she's really comfortable in the group
2008-03-20 12:38 < bumm13> I also have eye contact issues, lack of eye modulation, I tend to carry pencils/pens around (!), etc.
2008-03-20 12:38 < Lucifer_Cat> that makes me really hard to make new friends unless they are tossed in the same boat as me
2008-03-20 12:38 < bumm13> not always good with joke punchlines
2008-03-20 12:39 < Lucifer_Cat> bumm13: that happens with too much internet.
2008-03-20 12:39 < CharlotteWebb> do you use a pocket-protector
2008-03-20 12:39 < Demi> hehe
2008-03-20 12:39 < bumm13> hiya Demi
2008-03-20 12:40 < Lucifer_Cat> scatterp: i can get girls alright
2008-03-20 12:40 < Demi> hi bumm13
2008-03-20 12:40 < Lucifer_Cat> as long as they can withstand the initial "weird, creepy, strange" onslaught
2008-03-20 12:42 < Lucifer_Cat> ...and i killed the chat
2008-03-20 12:42 < Lucifer_Cat> *sigh* again
2008-03-20 12:42 * IceKarma wonders if anyone else knows how to say "Happy Nowruz" in Persian
2008-03-20 12:43 < IceKarma> how to pronounce it, I mean, I've found transcriptions of half a dozen different ways to say it
2008-03-20 12:43 < OverlordQ> dirka dirk jihad?
2008-03-20 12:43 < IceKarma> but even on YouTube I can't find someone actually saying it out loud
2008-03-20 12:43 < IceKarma> OverlordQ, that's Arabic.
2008-03-20 12:43 < OverlordQ> oh
2008-03-20 12:43 < Lucifer_Cat> Persians != Terrorists OverlordQ
2008-03-20 12:44 < IceKarma> Farsi is written with the Arabic alphabet, but it's not Arabic
2008-03-20 12:44 < Demi> yeah, you're thinkng of arabs. arabs are terrorists.
2008-03-20 12:44 < IceKarma> it's not even a Semitic language (Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic)
2008-03-20 12:44 * OverlordQ just got done listening to team america soundtrack again lol :(
2008-03-20 12:44 < Lucifer_Cat> erm... well most of arabs arent either :P
2008-03-20 12:44 < CharlotteWebb> oh you mean farsi
2008-03-20 12:44 < bumm13> IceKarma: just as Urdu is not
2008-03-20 12:45 < jerusalemboogie> OverlordQ: McDonalds!
2008-03-20 12:45 < IceKarma> bumm13, indeed, Urdu is mostly the same as Hindi, but with Arabic loanwords instead of Sanskrit
2008-03-20 12:45 < Lucifer_Cat> i had a convo in urdu once
2008-03-20 12:45 < bumm13> CharlotteWebb: mainly yes, although there's the Dari dialect in parts of Afghanistan
2008-03-20 12:45 < Lucifer_Cat> i was surprisingly fluent for someone who'd never talked in urdu before.
2008-03-20 12:45 < IceKarma> I find it entertaining that Hindi and Urdu are not just written in different scripts, they're written in entirely different *kinds* of scripts
2008-03-20 12:45 < Lucifer_Cat> near perfect.
2008-03-20 12:46 < bumm13> IceKarma: yeah
2008-03-20 12:46 < IceKarma> Lucifer_Cat, but you'd studied it?
2008-03-20 12:46 < Lucifer_Cat> IceKarma: no i just watch hindi films
2008-03-20 12:46 < bumm13> heehee
2008-03-20 12:46 < CharlotteWebb> on the internet you can be passably fluent in anything you want
2008-03-20 12:46 < IceKarma> Hindi being written in the Devanagari script, which is an abugida, where each "letter" has a built-in vowel, while the Arabic script mostly doesn't even bother writing vowels
2008-03-20 12:47 < IceKarma> and of course they're written in opposite directions
2008-03-20 12:47 < Lucifer_Cat> mainstream "hindustani" - thats what hindi in films/television is called sometimes, has quite a few urdu words
2008-03-20 12:47 < bumm13> indeed
2008-03-20 12:47 < IceKarma> Lucifer_Cat, I thought "Hindustani" was sort of a catch-all for Hindi/Urdu/a couple other variants
2008-03-20 12:47 < Lucifer_Cat> its a mishmash mostly
2008-03-20 12:48 < Lucifer_Cat> hindi speaking people try to use urdu the same way as english speaking people try to use french. to sound cooler.
2008-03-20 12:48 < Demi> how passe
2008-03-20 12:48 * CharlotteWebb goes down doing the bollywood waltz
2008-03-20 12:49 < IceKarma> Lucifer_Cat, lol
2008-03-20 12:49 < IceKarma> Lucifer_Cat, and by "Urdu" I'm guessing you mean "Urdu words that aren't Hindi words"
2008-03-20 12:49 < Lucifer_Cat> >_< white men cant dance CharlotteWebb :P
2008-03-20 12:49 < Lucifer_Cat> IceKarma: yup prettymuch
2008-03-20 12:50 < CharlotteWebb> good thing i'm neither white nor a man
2008-03-20 12:50 < Lucifer_Cat> though quite a few urdu words are now accepted as hindi
2008-03-20 12:50 < Lucifer_Cat> "shukriya" which means Thanks, is urdu accepted as hindi.
2008-03-20 12:50 < Lucifer_Cat> and coming to think of it, i cant quite recall the hindi equivalent for it
2008-03-20 12:51 < Lucifer_Cat> CharlotteWebb: then dance on
2008-03-20 12:52 < Lucifer_Cat> tic tic 1...
2008-03-20 12:52 < Lucifer_Cat> tic tic 2...
2008-03-20 12:52 < Lucifer_Cat> tic tic 3...

2008-03-20 12:52 < Lucifer_Cat> damn you quanticle
2008-03-20 12:52 * quanticle saves the chat
2008-03-20 12:53 < Lucifer_Cat> this chat gets so filthy, i definitely wouldnt do EPR on it
2008-03-20 12:53 * CharlotteWebb dances the silence down through the morning
2008-03-20 12:53 * SynergeticMag falls back into chat
2008-03-20 12:53 < SynergeticMag> yeah its quanticles fault

2008-03-20 12:54 * SynergeticMag sets himself on fire
2008-03-20 12:54 < Lucifer_Cat> i meant CPR

2008-03-20 12:56 < CharlotteWebb> hmm, CPR without david crosby

2008-03-20 13:00 * jerusalemboogie waves bishzilla
2008-03-20 13:02 * SynergeticMag yawns
2008-03-20 13:02 < SynergeticMag> now i cant get that song out of my head
2008-03-20 13:02 * SynergeticMag turns on punk
2008-03-20 13:03 < bumm13> old punk? 80s hardcore? or more modern? :-)
2008-03-20 13:03 < Lucifer_Cat> very daft indeed
2008-03-20 13:05 < SynergeticMag> bumm13: newer but old
2008-03-20 13:05 < SynergeticMag> LeftoverCrack
2008-03-20 13:05 < bumm13> hmm, ok

2008-03-20 13:07 < bumm13> they weren't that great, no
2008-03-20 13:07 * Ceiling_Cat huggles Synergetic_Cat
2008-03-20 13:07 < SynergeticMag> plus, cid did it
2008-03-20 13:07 < SynergeticMag> all the way
2008-03-20 13:08 < SynergeticMag> :)
2008-03-20 13:08 < bumm13> just the right thing at the right time, you might say
2008-03-20 13:08 * SynergeticMag hugs all around
2008-03-20 13:08 * quanticle hugs Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-20 13:08 < quanticle> Lady_Aleena: Is your hyper-researched article officially posted yet?
2008-03-20 13:08 * Lucifer_Cat wonders if Ceiling_Cat will be sufficiently protected or not when sh&% hits the fan
2008-03-20 13:08 < Ceiling_Cat> sh&% hits the fan ?
2008-03-20 13:08 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Huh?
2008-03-20 13:09 < Ceiling_Cat> why, what's going on?
2008-03-20 13:09 < Lucifer_Cat> sh**
2008-03-20 13:09 * quanticle braces for incoming drama
2008-03-20 13:09 < Lucifer_Cat> just a hypothetical situation
2008-03-20 13:09 < Lady_Aleena> quanticle: No, I have't been able to figure out where to get two references that I was told that I should get before the artilcle is ready for article space.
2008-03-20 13:09 < bumm13> SynergeticMag: I found some interesting clips on youtube of the old L.A. punk scene of the early 80s
2008-03-20 13:09 < bumm13> interesting nostalgia, if nothing else ;)
2008-03-20 13:09 < Ceiling_Cat> Lucifer_Cat - I have numerous cats to hide behind
2008-03-20 13:09 < Ceiling_Cat> speaking of which
2008-03-20 13:09 < Ceiling_Cat> MOAR KATZ!
2008-03-20 13:10 < SynergeticMag> i'm very selective in the punk i listen too, i get it from the people i used to hang out with
2008-03-20 13:10 < Ceiling_Cat> (did anyone see the episode of drawn together where captain hero actively the 'hero shield'?)
2008-03-20 13:10 * Schrodinger_Cat nuzzles Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-20 13:10 < Ceiling_Cat> activated*
2008-03-20 13:11 < Lucifer_Cat> no tv these days :(
2008-03-20 13:11 < Lucifer_Cat> my tv is 300 miles away and driving all the way there seems to be too much of a drag
2008-03-20 13:11 < bumm13> SynergeticMag: I'm more of a classic/hard rock and mainstream metal person normally
2008-03-20 13:12 < bumm13> (and nothing new ;p )
2008-03-20 13:12 < SynergeticMag> i'm not :D
2008-03-20 13:12 < bumm13> but there's various punk that I do like
2008-03-20 13:12 < bumm13> if you ever get too bored, watch some of the New Wave Theatre clips on youtube, they're interesting :D
2008-03-20 13:12 < SynergeticMag> i listen to old stuff still, as well as new, but i avoid mainstream like the plague
2008-03-20 13:12 < bumm13> yeah, good idea
2008-03-20 13:14 < Schrodinger_Cat> bumm13: Post 1975 or so, has the mainstream ever included a *good* song, album, or artist?
2008-03-20 13:15 < bumm13> which genre?
2008-03-20 13:15 < bumm13> or just Top 40?
2008-03-20 13:15 < Ceiling_Cat> http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/20/1538220
2008-03-20 13:15 < Ceiling_Cat> wow
2008-03-20 13:16 < Ceiling_Cat> "NASA scientists have discovered the first evidence of organic molecules on an extrasolar planet. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, they detected trace amounts of methane on a swirling gas giant about 63 light-years from our own planet.
2008-03-20 13:17 < Schrodinger_Cat> bumm13: Top 40
2008-03-20 13:18 * Ceiling_Cat huggles Bishonen_Cat
2008-03-20 13:18 < Ceiling_Cat> here Bishy bishy bish
2008-03-20 13:18 < Ceiling_Cat> that's a good kitty
2008-03-20 13:18 < Ceiling_Cat> :P
2008-03-20 13:18 < bumm13> Top 40 did degrade a lot from about that time forward
2008-03-20 13:21 < Schrodinger_Cat> bumm13: I mean, I'm pretty sure that none of the Top40 songs from the 80s have really persisted. Same with the 90s. Its not even that the songs were particularly bad. They were just... utterly forgettable.
2008-03-20 13:21 < bumm13> in many cases, that's quite true
2008-03-20 13:22 < bumm13> or at best, are considered "time pieces" of a particular era
2008-03-20 13:22 * SynergeticMag opens limewire to look for more music
2008-03-20 13:22 * SynergeticMag doesnt have enough
2008-03-20 13:22 < Schrodinger_Cat> SyngergeticMag: Limewire? That's old school.
2008-03-20 13:22 < Ceiling_Cat> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7305522.stm
2008-03-20 13:23 < Ceiling_Cat> Lulz
2008-03-20 13:23 < Schrodinger_Cat> BT ftw
2008-03-20 13:23 < bumm13> BT isn't everything
2008-03-20 13:23 < Ceiling_Cat> Health officials in the Philippines have issued a warning to people taking part in Easter crucifixion rituals.
2008-03-20 13:23 < Ceiling_Cat> They have urged them to get tetanus vaccinations before they flagellate themselves and are nailed to crosses, and to practise good hygiene.
2008-03-20 13:23 < bumm13> it's not so great for downloading smaller files
2008-03-20 13:23 < SynergeticMag> well i just got back online a few weeks ago from a year wikibreak
2008-03-20 13:23 * Ceiling_Cat watches bumm13 flagellate
2008-03-20 13:23 * SynergeticMag has no idea whats new school
2008-03-20 13:23 * bumm13 shakes his flagella around
2008-03-20 13:23 < Schrodinger_Cat> bumm13: Yeah. That's why I don't deal in individual songs any more. I deal in albums and/or discographies now.
2008-03-20 13:24 < SynergeticMag> whats BT? anyone got a link?
2008-03-20 13:24 < bumm13> BitTorrent
2008-03-20 13:24 < Schrodinger_Cat> SynergeticMag: BitTorrent
2008-03-20 13:24 < SynergeticMag> oh, bah
2008-03-20 13:24 < SynergeticMag> i never like that
2008-03-20 13:24 < SynergeticMag> bad experiences
2008-03-20 13:24 < bumm13> I just hate it when a torrent has no seeders >:(
2008-03-20 13:25 < bumm13> and fades into poor health
2008-03-20 13:25 < SynergeticMag> yup
2008-03-20 13:25 < SynergeticMag> i have very few problems with limewire
2008-03-20 13:25 < SynergeticMag> other than i cant find an artist
2008-03-20 13:26 < Schrodinger_Cat> bumm13: Yeah me too. I've noticed that there's kind of a J-curve with torrents - lots of seeders early on, but the torrent fades with time. That is, unless the content is popular or has a cult following. In that case, the initial drop-off is considerably less, and the torrent stabilizes with a fair number of seeders.
2008-03-20 13:27 < Schrodinger_Cat> SyngergeticMag: Whatever works, I guess. I recall I had huge problems with fake files/obsolete entries on Limewire.
2008-03-20 13:27 < SynergeticMag> i've found that d/l'ing a torrent takes forever
2008-03-20 13:27 < SynergeticMag> well, what i do, at least for music, is i open a browser, search each song individually
2008-03-20 13:27 < SynergeticMag> i find that works 80% of the time
2008-03-20 13:28 < SynergeticMag> i just go from one cd to the next
2008-03-20 13:28 < Lucifer_Cat> wouldnt a J curve mean you suddenly get a LOT of seeds?
2008-03-20 13:29 < Schrodinger_Cat> SyngergeticMag: Of course it depends on usage patterns. If, like you, one is interested in the best/most popular song from a given CD, Limewire is the way to go. However, if, like me, one is interested in the entire CD, the BitTorrent is the better option.
2008-03-20 13:29 < Schrodinger_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: Yeah, I meant inverse function, sorry.
2008-03-20 13:30 < Schrodinger_Cat> And as for the time issue, I'm a linux users, so I can just put the torrent under my screen session and log off. When I come back the next morning, I usually find that its done.
2008-03-20 13:30 < SynergeticMag> well, i'm happy if there are multiple people out there who have the same song, but usually i end up browsing host, and getting the whole cd that way
2008-03-20 13:31 < SynergeticMag> yeah but i want it now, not when i wake up tomorrow :)
2008-03-20 13:32 < Demi> i've been getting a lot better results with bt recently
2008-03-20 13:32 < Demi> i basically gave it up after a while because of the partial download problem and slowness
2008-03-20 13:32 < Demi> but now pretty much the thing i want downloads fast
2008-03-20 13:32 < Schrodinger_Cat> Demi: The clients have improved of late.
2008-03-20 13:33 < bumm13> I had some issue with slowness, I forget what setting I changed in my BT client but it worked :)
2008-03-20 13:33 < Demi> i suppose, but i'm using the python client from some years ago
2008-03-20 13:34 < Schrodinger_Cat> SyngergeticMag: Meh, I use Pandora to discover new music, so, when I find an artist I like, I download an album of theirs on BitTorrent because a single song often isn't enough to determine whether they're good enough to buy.
2008-03-20 13:35 < SynergeticMag> i cant find the cd's i like in stores, so i cant buy unless i find it in a used section or store devoted to used cds
2008-03-20 13:35 < Simon-> SynergeticMag: amazon
2008-03-20 13:36 < SynergeticMag> hrm
2008-03-20 13:36 < SynergeticMag> your right
2008-03-20 13:36 < SynergeticMag> i usually buy books there, not cds
2008-03-20 13:36 < SynergeticMag> brb
2008-03-20 13:36 < Andrew12> :/
2008-03-20 13:38 < SynergeticMag> now, how can i trust that the cd is not broken in half?
2008-03-20 13:38 * SynergeticMag heheheh
2008-03-20 13:39 * SynergeticMag begins eating his strawberries and cream oatmeal
2008-03-20 13:41 < Schrodinger_Cat> Yech. Oatmeal.
2008-03-20 13:41 < SynergeticMag> :/
2008-03-20 13:41 < SynergeticMag> its good
2008-03-20 13:41 < SynergeticMag> i down it with coffee
2008-03-20 13:41 * Schrodinger_Cat likes coffee, but not oatmeal
2008-03-20 13:41 < JulianColton> Schrodinger_Cat: That's a personnal attack :P
2008-03-20 13:42 < SynergeticMag> yes, yes it was
2008-03-20 13:42 < Schrodinger_Cat> JulianColton: Professing my dislike of oatmeal?
2008-03-20 13:42 < Demi> if you don't like oatmeal, you're doing it wrong!
2008-03-20 13:42 * SynergeticMag is offended
2008-03-20 13:42 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-03-20 13:43 < JulianColton> Schrodinger_Cat: As bad as oatmeal is, there's no reason to pick on other people because they like it :P
2008-03-20 13:43 < SynergeticMag> especially if you've given that person a hug before
2008-03-20 13:43 < Demi> there's porbably something wrong with you if you don't like oatmeal
2008-03-20 13:43 < SynergeticMag> neener neener et al.
2008-03-20 13:43 * JulianColton is offended
2008-03-20 13:44 < JulianColton> Do you like seafood?
2008-03-20 13:44 * bumm13 brushes his choppers
2008-03-20 13:44 < SynergeticMag> i just dont see how people can eat raw meat
2008-03-20 13:44 < Demi> yes
2008-03-20 13:44 < SynergeticMag> i need my food cooked
2008-03-20 13:45 * JulianColton doesn't eat meat anymore, so he doesn't care if it's cooked
2008-03-20 13:45 < SynergeticMag> peta?
2008-03-20 13:46 < JulianColton> No, Mad Cow
2008-03-20 13:46 < SynergeticMag> ah
2008-03-20 13:46 < SynergeticMag> mad chicken too?
2008-03-20 13:46 < Schrodinger_Cat> SynergeticMag: Heh. My take on that was that fire and cooking were invented for good reasons. Its only rational that we use it.
2008-03-20 13:46 < Demi> do you include seafood in your definition of meat (not making an issue, a vegetarian turned pescetarian, just curious)
2008-03-20 13:46 < Schrodinger_Cat> SynergeticMag: Or, god forbid, mad fish?
2008-03-20 13:46 < JulianColton> Beef is processed in the same plant as chicken and pork, so you can never be safe :O
2008-03-20 13:46 < SynergeticMag> fire was invented to keep warm and heat vegetable
2008-03-20 13:46 < SynergeticMag> :)
2008-03-20 13:46 < Demi> so you cook all your fruit, too?
2008-03-20 13:46 < SynergeticMag> i just need to find a PETA userbox
2008-03-20 13:46 < Demi> like "ugh, a raw apple, bake that for a while, will you?"
2008-03-20 13:47 < SynergeticMag> my fruit? no, thats not meat silly
2008-03-20 13:47 < JulianColton> :O Who cooks their vegetables and ruins then?
2008-03-20 13:47 < SynergeticMag> i do
2008-03-20 13:47 < SynergeticMag> :(
2008-03-20 13:47 < JulianColton> That is the wrong way of eating vegetables
2008-03-20 13:47 < JulianColton> You have to walk into the garden, and eat them no more than ten seconds after you pick them
2008-03-20 13:47 < SynergeticMag> well, i like my broccoli and such boiled
2008-03-20 13:47 < Schrodinger_Cat> JulianColton: Stir fried veggies are quite nice, and still healthy to boot.
2008-03-20 13:48 < SynergeticMag> and if i forget, its the vegetables problem,not mine
2008-03-20 13:48 * SynergeticMag throws away another bowl with oatmeal in it
2008-03-20 13:48 * SynergeticMag hides
2008-03-20 13:49 < Demi> taking a stand against a class of food, like "raw food" or "oatmeal" or "pizza" is a little narrow-minded
2008-03-20 13:49 * SynergeticMag so Lucifers_Cat cant find it
2008-03-20 13:49 < SynergeticMag> well, raw food, as in seafood
2008-03-20 13:49 < SynergeticMag> aforementioned
2008-03-20 13:49 < Lucifer_Cat> i saw what you did there.
2008-03-20 13:50 < SynergeticMag> someone once tried to feed it to me
2008-03-20 13:50 < SynergeticMag> ick und gick
2008-03-20 13:50 < Lucifer_Cat> my cat didnt though. so ure safe.
2008-03-20 13:50 < SynergeticMag> i'd have to put it in Lady_Aleena's dishwasher again
2008-03-20 13:50 < Lucifer_Cat> kinky

2008-03-20 13:51 < JulianColton> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Juliancolton/testbox
2008-03-20 13:51 < JulianColton> Could be better
2008-03-20 13:52 < SynergeticMag> yeah, some people dont agree with EVERYTHING PETA does, more to the point
2008-03-20 13:52 < SynergeticMag> Ingrid Newkirk
2008-03-20 13:53 < JulianColton> Can anybody be a member pf PETA?
2008-03-20 13:53 < SynergeticMag> yup
2008-03-20 13:53 < SynergeticMag> i used to live almost right next to their base of operations
2008-03-20 13:53 < JulianColton> You have permission to use my userbox, if you want :D
2008-03-20 13:54 < SynergeticMag> danke
2008-03-20 13:54 < SynergeticMag> (german for thank you)
2008-03-20 13:54 < JulianColton> You're welcome
2008-03-20 13:54 * SynergeticMag spits out strawberry seed
2008-03-20 13:54 < JulianColton> Eww
2008-03-20 13:54 < SynergeticMag> i think that one hit my cat in the eye
2008-03-20 13:54 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-03-20 13:54 < JulianColton> Meow!
2008-03-20 13:54 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: you bowl will be wiped with the finest furs and returned to you wrapped in the most exquisite leathers.
2008-03-20 13:55 < SynergeticMag> so its nobility for the bowl huh?
2008-03-20 13:55 < Lucifer_Cat> in JulianColton's userbox that is
2008-03-20 13:55 < SynergeticMag> i'm selling it on eBay
2008-03-20 13:55 < JulianColton> You can't sell my userbox! :P
2008-03-20 13:55 < Lucifer_Cat> his userbox?
2008-03-20 13:56 < SynergeticMag> well
2008-03-20 13:56 < SynergeticMag> i'll put the userbox on the bowl
2008-03-20 13:56 < SynergeticMag> and seel that
2008-03-20 13:56 < SynergeticMag> sell*
2008-03-20 13:56 < Lucifer_Cat> washing = less effort than listing on ebay and then pack+post it
2008-03-20 13:56 * WilliamH returns
2008-03-20 13:56 < SynergeticMag> not actually, washing makes me leave the computer
2008-03-20 13:56 < Lucifer_Cat> so will packing+posting
2008-03-20 13:57 < SynergeticMag> package?
2008-03-20 13:57 < SynergeticMag> i'll just put alot of stamps on it and give it to the mailman
2008-03-20 13:57 < Lucifer_Cat> it doesnt simply disappear from your desk when you sell it on ebay you know
2008-03-20 13:58 < SynergeticMag> my bowl is famous, it was touched by Ed Burns
2008-03-20 13:58 < SynergeticMag> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Burns
2008-03-20 13:59 < Lady_Aleena> Would someone be willing to do a commons search for me? I am getting no where fast.
2008-03-20 13:59 < JulianColton> Sure
2008-03-20 13:59 < JulianColton> What is it?
2008-03-20 13:59 < Lady_Aleena> I need a text free incubator image, if one exists, pretty please.
2008-03-20 14:00 < SynergeticMag> Lady_Aleena: you work in a book store?
2008-03-20 14:00 < Lady_Aleena> Commons is not dial-up friendly.

2008-03-20 14:01 < SynergeticMag> i was going to say, that the best place to look for sourcing your article :)
2008-03-20 14:01 < Lady_Aleena> JulianColton:I meant for http://incubator.wikimedia.org/
2008-03-20 14:01 < JulianColton> Ooh

2008-03-20 14:07 < Ceiling_Cat> Mwahaha!
2008-03-20 14:07 < DeadEyeArrow> Man I sent so many of them, your username didn't click in my head
2008-03-20 14:07 < DeadEyeArrow> sorry
2008-03-20 14:07 < WilliamH> not to worry

2008-03-20 14:07 * Ceiling_Cat facehuggles Not_the_NSA
2008-03-20 14:07 < Not_the_NSA> Ceiling_Cat: do you live in the city?
2008-03-20 14:08 * Ceiling_Cat lives in ceilings
2008-03-20 14:08 < JulianColton> DeadEyeArrow, I believe that I supported your RfA :P
2008-03-20 14:08 < DeadEyeArrow> Synergetic: Thanks, I tried to make mine different
2008-03-20 14:08 * Not_the_NSA drills a hole in his ceiling and pulls out Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-20 14:09 < Lady_Aleena> JulianColton: Were you able to find that image for me, or am I on my own? :)
2008-03-20 14:09 < JulianColton> I'm looking
2008-03-20 14:09 < WilliamH> what've you done since +mop then?
2008-03-20 14:09 < Lady_Aleena> Thanks!
2008-03-20 14:10 * SynergeticMag wonders if another bowl of oatmeal would be good
2008-03-20 14:10 < Lucifer_Cat> ...
2008-03-20 14:10 < JulianColton> ....
2008-03-20 14:10 < SynergeticMag> :/
2008-03-20 14:10 < SynergeticMag> leave my eating habits alone!
2008-03-20 14:10 < SynergeticMag> heh
2008-03-20 14:11 * SynergeticMag locates a clean bowl
2008-03-20 14:11 * SynergeticMag looks for one on eBay
2008-03-20 14:11 * Schrodinger_Cat wonders if he has to go over there and force feed SyngergeticMag something good
2008-03-20 14:11 < SynergeticMag> hey i found a bowl with a userbox on it, and its only 4 euro
2008-03-20 14:11 < Lady_Aleena> Julian: Call off the search...with my thanks for trying.
2008-03-20 14:11 < JulianColton> 2 USD
2008-03-20 14:12 < JulianColton> How come?
2008-03-20 14:13 < Lady_Aleena> My brain is sluggish today, so I didn't think about going through one image on my user page to find another by following the categories. I had a moment where it gelled in my head a minute ago.
2008-03-20 14:13 < SynergeticMag> its because of my bowl
2008-03-20 14:13 < SynergeticMag> its still in the dishwasher
2008-03-20 14:13 < SynergeticMag> it clogged it up
2008-03-20 14:13 < SynergeticMag> with old oatmeal
2008-03-20 14:13 < Ceiling_Cat> MOAR KATZ!
2008-03-20 14:13 < WilliamH> did someone say moar?

2008-03-20 14:18 < SynergeticMag> so i took it bad
2008-03-20 14:18 < SynergeticMag> then
2008-03-20 14:18 < SynergeticMag> but not now
2008-03-20 14:18 < Ceiling_Cat> See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ceiling_Cat#Ceiling_Cat-related_humor
2008-03-20 14:19 < AmA> thks
2008-03-20 14:19 < AmA> nice cat :D
2008-03-20 14:19 < DeadEyeArrow> I was surprised I didn't get more opposes
2008-03-20 14:19 < WilliamH_Cat> the problem is, is that you can never do anything right
2008-03-20 14:19 < WilliamH_Cat> i used to be a moderator for one of the official MSN Groups
2008-03-20 14:19 < WilliamH_Cat> >_<
2008-03-20 14:20 < SynergeticMag> well, i'm controversial, for instance, my AfD closures are recently showing up at DRV
2008-03-20 14:20 < SynergeticMag> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_March_20#Anonymous_.28group.29
2008-03-20 14:20 < SynergeticMag> even though i'm no stranger to closing them out
2008-03-20 14:21 < DeadEyeArrow> Ah, atleast they seem to agree with you
2008-03-20 14:21 < SynergeticMag> not the other one i did
2008-03-20 14:21 < SynergeticMag> its gotten bad
2008-03-20 14:22 < SynergeticMag> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/A_More_Perfect_Union
2008-03-20 14:22 < SynergeticMag> my close has been hidden, very top
2008-03-20 14:22 < SynergeticMag> it was taken to DRV, then reopened
2008-03-20 14:22 < SynergeticMag> now its abnormally large for an AfD
2008-03-20 14:23 < MindstormsKid> anybody here play Cyber Nations?
2008-03-20 14:23 < SynergeticMag> 64 kilobytes long
2008-03-20 14:23 < DeadEyeArrow> Ah, I generally don't like snow in general
2008-03-20 14:23 < SynergeticMag> well, its the only way i can close
2008-03-20 14:23 < WilliamH_Cat> haha
2008-03-20 14:23 * SynergeticMag is a non admin
2008-03-20 14:23 < Lucifer_Cat> hehe u suggested to delete that article?
2008-03-20 14:23 * WilliamH_Cat expects a message from the dog
2008-03-20 14:23 < SynergeticMag> Lucifer_Cat, no i closed it as speedy
2008-03-20 14:24 < SynergeticMag> then i voted to keep after it was reopened
2008-03-20 14:24 < WilliamH_Cat> we have trained my dog to go and find people when dinner is ready
2008-03-20 14:24 < Lucifer_Cat> ok. yeah i remember now.
2008-03-20 14:25 < SynergeticMag> i just hope the closing admin reads the entire AfD, as some of the voters are newbies, i.e. have only 6 edits before they voted
2008-03-20 14:25 < DeadEyeArrow> Could be worse, Autocracy nonadmin closed a bunch of articles right before self-nom rfa
2008-03-20 14:25 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-03-20 14:25 < DeadEyeArrow> NAC as delete
2008-03-20 14:25 < WilliamH_Cat> dinner is served
2008-03-20 14:25 < WilliamH_Cat> happy easter all
2008-03-20 14:26 < SynergeticMag> er
2008-03-20 14:26 < SynergeticMag> elaborate more DEA
2008-03-20 14:27 < SynergeticMag> i'm looing at his contribs right now
2008-03-20 14:27 < SynergeticMag> looking*
2008-03-20 14:27 < DeadEyeArrow> he closed a bunch of afds as delete, obviously he couldn't, then like 2 hours later he Nominated himself for rfa
2008-03-20 14:27 < SynergeticMag> aaaaaaaaahahah
2008-03-20 14:27 < SynergeticMag> i noticed one of his deletes was in fact deleted though
2008-03-20 14:28 < SynergeticMag> but all of my AfD closures are good
2008-03-20 14:28 < SynergeticMag> never been blocked or over turned, except one, and that was the A More Perfect Union, and only by DRV
2008-03-20 14:28 < SynergeticMag> which actually was not from consensus
2008-03-20 14:29 < SynergeticMag> the reopening was performed with the usage of SNOW
2008-03-20 14:29 < SynergeticMag> a snowball the deflect a snowball
2008-03-20 14:29 < DeadEyeArrow> yea, I generally don't like snow
2008-03-20 14:30 < Scott5114> I have something on DRV right now but it looks like a fairly clear-cut speedy
2008-03-20 14:33 < SynergeticMag> DEA, how do you think TenPoundHammers RfA is going?
2008-03-20 14:33 * SynergeticMag was the nominator of course
2008-03-20 14:34 * Lady_Aleena would never self-nom for RfA.
2008-03-20 14:34 < Juliancolton> That'd be ''Prima Facie'' evidence that you are power hungry :P
2008-03-20 14:34 < DeadEyeArrow> Syn: Well, it's not going the best
2008-03-20 14:34 < Lady_Aleena> I am not that vain either.
2008-03-20 14:36 < SynergeticMag> yeah, i've noticed alot of people thought my nom for TPH was a self nom
2008-03-20 14:37 < DeadEyeArrow> Heh, I got asked questions by two users that were meant for that RfA
2008-03-20 14:38 * Ceiling_Cat notices something
2008-03-20 14:38 < Ceiling_Cat> we don't have an article on the rain man scam
2008-03-20 14:38 < Ceiling_Cat> (for which the movie is named)
2008-03-20 14:38 * Schrodinger_Cat notices Ceiling_Cat
2008-03-20 14:38 < SynergeticMag> then start one

2008-03-20 14:41 < SynergeticMag> i think i might challenge a Bureaucrat to a game of chess
2008-03-20 14:42 < Cyrius> neat, there was a naked-eye-visible gamma ray burst yesterday
2008-03-20 14:42 < Juliancolton> :O
2008-03-20 14:42 < Pilotguy> gamma gamma gamma
2008-03-20 14:46 * SynergeticMag challenges KingTurtle to a game of chess
2008-03-20 14:46 < CrazySane> Heh.. I know this has got to be simple, but I'm trying to link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Virginia/ on my UserPage, and it keep inserting the page into mine... how do I just link to it?

2008-03-20 14:49 < Lucifer_Cat> i wonder if anyone not over 60 still smokes pipes
2008-03-20 14:50 < Lady_Aleena> No clue.
2008-03-20 14:50 < CrazySane> Yea, I got a buddy in the CHU accross from me that smokes one, he's in his 30s
2008-03-20 14:50 < Juliancolton> Back in the day, everybody smoked pipes. None of them darn cigarettes
2008-03-20 14:51 < CrazySane> oh, nvmd
