2008-03-22 12:23 < mavhc> will you take this photo of me (if you don't I won't be for your friend anymore, thus removing value)
2008-03-22 12:23 < lar> not a tangible value that is measurable.
2008-03-22 12:23 < lar> have you studied contract law mavhc?
2008-03-22 12:24 < mavhc> this is irc, I'm just BSing
2008-03-22 12:24 < lar> ok then... I on the other hand am trying to seriously answer a question that was raaied by a fellow editor in good standing about a particular image.
2008-03-22 12:24 < lar> *raised
2008-03-22 12:24 < lar> you're not really facilitating that discussion by BSing.
2008-03-22 12:25 < lar> anyway, geniice does any of this help? what are you going to do about the image?
2008-03-22 12:25 < mavhc> I'm suggesting something which you can shoot down, thus reducing the query space
2008-03-22 12:26 < mavhc> anyway, all law is is BSing, just with more books
2008-03-22 12:26 < geniice> lar not sure
2008-03-22 12:26 < lar> ok, shot down, then.
2008-03-22 12:26 < geniice> lar usual I let that kind of thing slide but in this case I would have to go for a yea or nay
2008-03-22 12:27 < lar> how come? that is, what makes this case different? something funny going on?
2008-03-22 12:27 < geniice> lar the non copyvio argument is that it is a gift the bproblem would be proveing intention
2008-03-22 12:27 < lar> perhaps ask the uploader to get the friend to clarify it... that would sort it the most easily... a note to OTRS would suffice I would think
2008-03-22 12:27 < geniice> lar see the Images of people replacing placeholders cat?
2008-03-22 12:28 < geniice> lar and I did ask np responce
2008-03-22 12:28 < lar> [[category:Images of people replacing placeholders]] on en?
2008-03-22 12:28 < geniice> lar yes
2008-03-22 12:29 < lar> wow that's a fairly full cat isn't it.
2008-03-22 12:29 < ST47> Death to users.
2008-03-22 12:29 < lar> has some hotties in it (no offense by that observation intended)
2008-03-22 12:29 < geniice> lar about 300 planning to reduce that somewhat today
2008-03-22 12:29 < geniice> lar yah but the images of hotties tend to be copyvios
2008-03-22 12:30 < lar> ya, for example... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Jenna_Dewan_is_pretty_in_red_.jpg "I allow this photo to be published in Wikipedia." ... that's gonna be some work to sort that one... proly is a copyvio
2008-03-22 12:31 < lar> (if you had to bet... no bad faith intended, just sayin)
2008-03-22 12:31 < lar> this one probably is pretty clearly a copyvio
2008-03-22 12:31 < lar> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Jennifer_garner.jpg
2008-03-22 12:31 < geniice> lar 30 seconds work
2008-03-22 12:31 < lar> "posing for People magazine" and small image size
2008-03-22 12:31 < geniice> lar> list on PUI non commments and deleted about a month later
2008-03-22 12:31 < lar> yes
2008-03-22 12:32 < lar> back to the frank shorter one... the image quality and background are such to suggest candid rather than ripped from a webpage or scanned from a magazine, etc....
2008-03-22 12:32 < lar> so trying to contact the uploader again seems the way to go I guess.
2008-03-22 12:33 < geniice> tried
2008-03-22 12:33 < KingAirbus> hey all
2008-03-22 12:33 < lar> well then either delete it or let it slide...
2008-03-22 12:33 < KingAirbus> long time no see
2008-03-22 12:34 < geniice> lar eh we shall see if email contact gets any better results
2008-03-22 12:34 < lar> good luck. would be nice to have a pic
2008-03-22 12:35 < lar> speaking of pics... http://nonnotablenatterings.blogspot.com/2008/03/rooting-around-in-old-pictures.html ... how I plan to spend part of my afternoon... rooting around to see what I can find in mhy old pics.
2008-03-22 12:35 < geniice> this however is easy

2008-03-22 12:36 < Lucifer_Cat> *
2008-03-22 12:36 < Lucifer_Cat> meow!
2008-03-22 12:37 < geniice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Reviewed_images_of_people_replacing_placeholders is the images that are probably free
2008-03-22 12:37 * Lucifer_Cat NR: [[2007_ICC_World_Twenty20]]
2008-03-22 12:39 < geniice> lar for many of us that means parents old pics
2008-03-22 12:40 < Lucifer_Cat> geniice: would u say that [[2007_ICC_World_Twenty20]] is good enough to be a FA?
2008-03-22 12:41 < geniice> format not really right for a FA
2008-03-22 12:41 < geniice> and just 5 refs? no
2008-03-22 12:42 < The359> nowhere near enough actual text
2008-03-22 12:42 < The359> outside of charts
2008-03-22 12:42 < Lucifer_Cat> hmmmm
2008-03-22 12:42 < The359> and almost no explanation for those that don't know cricket
2008-03-22 12:42 < Lucifer_Cat> anyways i wished it were an FA for all the wrong reasons :P
2008-03-22 12:43 * The359 wouldn't even pass it for GA, personally
2008-03-22 12:43 < Lucifer_Cat> whats a GA
2008-03-22 12:44 < Lucifer_Cat> good article?
2008-03-22 12:44 < The359> yes
2008-03-22 12:44 < The359> [[WP:GA]]
2008-03-22 12:44 < Lucifer_Cat> ha ok
2008-03-22 12:44 < Lucifer_Cat> well, the only reason I liked it was cuz it makes me feel good to read it :P
2008-03-22 12:45 < The359> like I said, there isn't much to actually "read"
2008-03-22 12:45 < The359> it's just stats and scores
2008-03-22 12:46 < Lucifer_Cat> well "to look at the numbers" was what i was gonna say anyways
2008-03-22 12:46 < Lucifer_Cat> anyways, hows the other cats?
2008-03-22 12:46 < The359> so you just like the score?
2008-03-22 12:48 < Lucifer_Cat> i watched most of the tournament. scores remind me of the matches and the moments.
2008-03-22 13:17 < kurtuba> eþþek heriler
2008-03-22 13:25 < Lucifer_Cat> pardon?

2008-03-22 13:25 < Lucifer_Cat> yup?
2008-03-22 13:26 < snowolf> wondering what the pardon was for
2008-03-22 13:26 < Lucifer_Cat> not 'what'... 'who'
2008-03-22 13:26 < Lucifer_Cat> Nixon

2008-03-22 13:42 < Lucifer_Cat> purrrr
2008-03-22 13:49 < quanticle> maestro: Nope. Curiosity was framed - ignorance killed the cat
2008-03-22 13:50 < Lucifer_Cat> haha nice one
2008-03-22 13:51 * Lucifer_Cat bought himself a brand new 2008 Jetta
2008-03-22 13:51 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: happy holi!
2008-03-22 13:59 < OverlordQ> anybody here good with inkscape?
2008-03-22 14:01 < maestro> quanticle:New Mail from Spirit of House
2008-03-22 14:01 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Congrats on the new car
2008-03-22 14:01 < Lucifer_Cat> thanks!
2008-03-22 14:02 < Lucifer_Cat> trying to shake off the fact that im overpaying by a few thousands
2008-03-22 14:02 < Leslie_S> heh, in mexico its illegal to put insects in tequila. wtf.
2008-03-22 14:06 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: What do you mean, "overpaying?" Did you see the same car for less elsewhere after you bought it?
2008-03-22 14:07 < Lucifer_Cat> 1 sec
2008-03-22 14:07 < Leslie_S> quanticle no new car is worth anything near what the original dealer sells it for.
2008-03-22 14:08 < Leslie_S> you pay $20,000 and get a piece of total shit.
2008-03-22 14:08 < quanticle> Leslie_
2008-03-22 14:08 < quanticle> S
2008-03-22 14:08 < Leslie_S> and as soon as it drives off the lot, its depreciated by like $5000
2008-03-22 14:08 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Yep.
2008-03-22 14:08 < Leslie_S> quanticle thats why im never gonna buy a new car. i'd much rather take advantage of the depreciation.
2008-03-22 14:09 < Leslie_S> my parents got a 1 year old car at half the original price, with 60,000 miles on it (LOL)
2008-03-22 14:09 < Leslie_S> as long as you dont compare it to the age, thats really not that many miles
2008-03-22 14:09 < Leslie_S> the question is, how the HELL do you rack up 60,000 miles in one year?
2008-03-22 14:09 < Leslie_S> it was apparently owned by a drug rep, but still...thats a hell of a lot of miles...
2008-03-22 14:10 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Well, it depends. I bought a new Hyundai for the same price as a 2 year old Civic, and the Hyundai has way more safety features, and a better stereo to boot.
2008-03-22 14:10 < Messedrocker> really inefficient driving practices?
2008-03-22 14:12 < quanticle> Not to mention the 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty...
2008-03-22 14:18 < quanticle> Chirp.
2008-03-22 14:27 < CrazySane> I have 65,000 miles on my barely one year old Corolla... I drive an hour and a half to and from work...
2008-03-22 14:28 < CrazySane> I eat through cars... hopefully I'll be moving closer to work by the end of the year tho.
2008-03-22 14:34 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: i'll end up paying 23K for it, and new ones are like 18-19K
2008-03-22 14:34 < Lucifer_Cat> without interest that is
2008-03-22 14:35 < FastLizard4> I tried booting up my MacOS 1 PowerBook 180 toda, and it actually worked!
2008-03-22 14:35 < FastLizard4> *today
2008-03-22 14:35 < Lucifer_Cat> CrazySane: thats insane! totally crazy!
2008-03-22 14:35 < CrazySane> :-P
2008-03-22 14:35 < Messedrocker> boot up your NES next
2008-03-22 14:36 < Messedrocker> let's see if it still works
2008-03-22 14:36 * FastLizard4 dosen't have one
2008-03-22 14:36 < FastLizard4> :DD
2008-03-22 14:36 < Messedrocker> darn it!
2008-03-22 14:36 < FastLizard4> My DOS 3.2 IBM Sys2 Model25 works too!
2008-03-22 14:36 < FastLizard4> Hooray for DOS!
2008-03-22 14:45 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Whoa. Why so much?
2008-03-22 14:46 < Lucifer_Cat> i mean it costs 19 without interest and i'll pay 23 with everything included. also its on lease for the first 3 years, so basically, if something happens, its their junk
2008-03-22 14:46 < Lucifer_Cat> and i get a new one
2008-03-22 14:47 < Lucifer_Cat> i'd have paid 21issh with financing anyways
2008-03-22 14:47 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Ah. Well you can't compare cost+interest to the advertised price...
2008-03-22 14:48 < Lucifer_Cat> yeah, i figured
2008-03-22 14:48 < Lucifer_Cat> anyways, im not gonna think bout it anymore :D
2008-03-22 14:49 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Don't worry about it. As long as you didn't overcommit yourself, it fine.
2008-03-22 14:49 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: How much are you paying per month for that?
2008-03-22 14:49 < Lucifer_Cat> 315
2008-03-22 14:49 < Lucifer_Cat> for first 3 years
2008-03-22 14:52 < The_sunder_king> hello any CU's here?
2008-03-22 14:52 < snowolf> The_sunder_king: unlikely
2008-03-22 14:52 < The_sunder_king> damn
2008-03-22 14:52 < snowolf> made a formal onwiki request?
2008-03-22 14:53 < The_sunder_king> I suppose so, because this is a user returned edit warring as soon as they were indefblocked for socking to win an edit war yesterday
2008-03-22 14:53 < The_sunder_king> FloNight is a CU aren't they?
2008-03-22 14:55 * Enterprise_Cat needs an idea for his blog
2008-03-22 14:55 < MrZ-man> The_sunder_king: [[WP:RFCU]]
2008-03-22 15:01 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: try some frameworks

2008-03-22 15:04 < Enterprise_Cat> X-D
2008-03-22 15:04 < Enterprise_Cat> I guess that is what I get for using Wikipedia
2008-03-22 15:04 < Rinn|Dead> Luigi's final smash is just pretty much the coolest one ever.
2008-03-22 15:04 < Enterprise_Cat> I read unlocked as "unblocked"
2008-03-22 15:04 < bumm13> does he move his legs really fast when he jumps? ;)
2008-03-22 15:05 < Messedrocker> Rinn|Dead, apparently he just drops acid
2008-03-22 15:08 < Messedrocker> SSBB is surprisingly oldschool
2008-03-22 15:09 < Messedrocker> then again it lives mostly on nostalgia

2008-03-22 15:42 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O
2008-03-22 15:42 < NotACow> some really old news today
2008-03-22 15:42 < NotACow> a star exploded 7.5 billion years ago
2008-03-22 15:42 < Enterprise_Cat> heh
2008-03-22 15:42 < NotACow> and it's just now getting in the news
2008-03-22 15:42 < hobophobe> I was wondering if there's any data about wikipedia showing for example cross referencing between articles?
2008-03-22 15:42 * Chetblong was pinging himself when he did !admi-n
2008-03-22 15:42 < bumm13> in what sense?
2008-03-22 15:43 < Enterprise_Cat> Chetblong: Now, remove the hyphen...
2008-03-22 15:43 < Chetblong> ok
2008-03-22 15:43 < Chetblong> !admin
2008-03-22 15:43 < GDonato> hobophobe: good luck getting help tonight with this lot ;)
2008-03-22 15:43 < snowolf> Chetblong: STOP THAT.
2008-03-22 15:43 < ST47> snowolf: He stopped
2008-03-22 15:43 < Enterprise_Cat> :O
2008-03-22 15:43 < snowolf> well done
2008-03-22 15:43 < JohnReaves> I think there's six degrees of separation thingy for articles
2008-03-22 15:43 < hobophobe> GDonato, hehe, well I don't have to have it, just thought it'd be interesting as a source of data
2008-03-22 15:43 < bumm13> Enterprise-Cat: as an op, encouraging that sort of behavior makes you look bad
2008-03-22 15:43 < bumm13> do keep that in mind...
2008-03-22 15:44 < ST47> Oh, someone told him to do it
2008-03-22 15:44 * ST47 hits Enterprise_Cat over the head very hard
2008-03-22 15:44 < bumm13> ST47: that's okay, he had it coming
2008-03-22 15:44 < NotACow> bumm13: meh, ops are not required to have any sort of appropriate level of behavior
2008-03-22 15:44 * Enterprise_Cat resents that ST47
2008-03-22 15:44 * ST47 is resented
2008-03-22 15:44 < NotACow> bumm13: as long as they don't commit lese majeste, or suggest that logging is not infinitely evil
2008-03-22 15:45 < hobophobe> it's good for security purposes if that's what you mean
2008-03-22 15:45 < hobophobe> most webservers have a logging module bundled with them
2008-03-22 15:45 < Pilotguy> bumm13- Especially when you consider how Enterprise_Cat got his ops, unlike the rest of us...
2008-03-22 15:46 < NotASpy> this is, of course, what happens when you get ops after five seconds of begging and one question.
2008-03-22 15:46 < ST47> There we go.
2008-03-22 15:48 < quanticle> NotACow: What's lese majeste?
2008-03-22 15:48 < NotACow> quanticle: speaking ill of the king
2008-03-22 15:49 < quanticle> NotACow: And king, in this case, meaning Jimbo?
2008-03-22 15:50 < hobophobe> Elvis is the King
2008-03-22 15:50 < NotACow> quanticle: yes; also slimvirgin and a few other people.
2008-03-22 15:50 < Lucifer_Cat> slimvirgin is an anorexic guy?
2008-03-22 15:51 < bumm13> Elvis was a "pretty boy"
2008-03-22 15:51 < NotACow> Lucifer_Cat: she wishes she were :)
2008-03-22 15:51 < quanticle> NotACow: Heh.
2008-03-22 16:01 < bumm13> weird, while doing an unrelated search about old computer stuff, I come across a page with some archived mailing list page that includes things such as "About LOLDONGS Inc", "NegrOS", and this classic (among others):
2008-03-22 16:01 < bumm13> "LOLDONGS Research, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Banned Town Security
2008-03-22 16:01 < bumm13> Inc., has discovered a vulnerability in Internet 1.0, which can be
2008-03-22 16:01 < bumm13> exploited by clever people to rape morons in the ass.
2008-03-22 16:01 < bumm13> oops
2008-03-22 16:01 < bumm13> (in quotes ;p)
2008-03-22 16:01 < bumm13> o.o
2008-03-22 16:01 < mexicanbanana> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantano <-- Has this article been trolled?
2008-03-22 16:01 < quanticle> bumm13: Have you been browsing GNAA related sites?
2008-03-22 16:01 < mexicanbanana> "Delicious ripe plantains at market." under the picture showing rotten bananas.
2008-03-22 16:02 < bumm13> absolutely not :x
2008-03-22 16:02 < bumm13> something about Network Security and [Full-disclosure]
2008-03-22 16:03 < quanticle> To be honest, I've never seen what a ripe plantain looks like. Plantains are meant to be cooked and eaten while they are still green.
2008-03-22 16:03 < ST47> bumm13: just ignore Full-disclosure
2008-03-22 16:03 < bumm13> well, it was just some site I stumbled on, it had nothing I was looking for anyway
2008-03-22 16:04 < bumm13> just strange that it wasn't a WP article mirror or something ;p
2008-03-22 16:07 < mexicanbanana> quanticle: But why "delicious"? Isn't that POV anyway?
2008-03-22 16:07 < mexicanbanana> Not that I see how anyone can think that rotten bananas are delicious...
2008-03-22 16:08 < mexicanbanana> God damn IRC and its lack of emphasis markup syntax.
2008-03-22 16:08 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: Yeah. "Delicious" is POV.
2008-03-22 16:08 * quanticle wonders how anyone can see bananas as delicious, but that's another story
2008-03-22 16:09 < The_sunder_king> is there a CU here?
2008-03-22 16:09 < Messedrocker> banans are great
2008-03-22 16:09 < Messedrocker> bananas rather
2008-03-22 16:10 < ST47> !checkuser > The_sunder_king
2008-03-22 16:10 < snowolf> ST47: that pings only me
2008-03-22 16:10 < ST47> snowolf: are you a checkuser?
2008-03-22 16:10 < snowolf> no, but I like mocking users who haven't understood that nobody stalk that keyword
2008-03-22 16:10 < ST47> :)
2008-03-22 16:10 < wimt> Actually that does (or at least once did) ping a few people, but none are in this channel.
2008-03-22 16:11 < snowolf> Dmc & Alison, do I recall correctly?
2008-03-22 16:12 < wimt> Yeah, think so. But better to approach people by name.
2008-03-22 16:12 < wimt> Though he's gone now anyway it would seem.
2008-03-22 16:15 < NotASpy> I've already asked a CU to look into the case The sunder king is asking about.
2008-03-22 16:19 < Lubaf> It's IT! What is it? It's IT! What is it?
2008-03-22 16:22 < jerusalemboogie> It is what IT is
2008-03-22 16:22 < Lubaf> I always assumed that IT was an Itsit.
2008-03-22 16:22 < Lubaf> You know, those ice-cream sandwiches.
2008-03-22 16:23 < quanticle> Lubaf: Information Technology
2008-03-22 16:23 < quanticle> ?
2008-03-22 16:23 < Thehelpfulone2> quanticle: I would agree to that
2008-03-22 16:23 < Lubaf> quanticle: No, we're talking about a song, so it's pronounced "IT", not "I T"
2008-03-22 16:28 < Lubaf> Trouble ahead / Lady in Red / Take my advice / You'd be better off dead...
2008-03-22 16:29 < Lubaf> Trouble ahead / Trouble behind / And you know / That notion just crossed my mind...
2008-03-22 16:33 < Lubaf> White_Cat: What's so wrong with the Grateful Dead?
2008-03-22 16:33 < White_Cat> ?
2008-03-22 16:34 < White_Cat> Lubaf nothing
2008-03-22 16:34 < White_Cat> I just like to burn your head for you
2008-03-22 16:34 < White_Cat> Lubaf despiite being persecuted I am in a good mood
2008-03-22 16:34 < White_Cat> Some people go on a picnic when they are in a good mood
2008-03-22 16:35 < White_Cat> I blend I mean burn your hair
2008-03-22 16:45 < quanticle> White_Cat: Persecuted?
2008-03-22 16:45 < quanticle> White_Cat: Were you being oppressed?
2008-03-22 16:45 < quanticle> White_Cat: Did you see the violence inherent to the system?
2008-03-22 16:45 < quanticle> :)
2008-03-22 16:49 < compwhizii> hi
2008-03-22 16:49 < bumm13> hi
2008-03-22 16:49 < Traveler2> Hi Guys,
2008-03-22 16:53 < quanticle> Hello compwhizii
2008-03-22 16:53 < compwhizii> hello quanticle
2008-03-22 16:54 < quanticle> compwhizii, I have a question about your nick. Is it pronounced "compwhiz two" or "compwhizzy"?
2008-03-22 16:54 < compwhizii> the first
2008-03-22 16:58 < mexicanbanana> Can WikiMedia Commons-hosted images be counted on staying around forever, and reliably linked to, like an image host?
2008-03-22 16:58 < The_sunder_king> !checkuser
2008-03-22 16:58 < The_sunder_king> is needed pretty quickly
2008-03-22 16:58 < snowolf> it doesn't work :P
2008-03-22 16:59 < snowolf> well wait then
2008-03-22 16:59 < The_sunder_king> no it is needed fairly quickly
2008-03-22 17:00 < quanticle> The_sunder_king: You can call !checkuser all you want, but that doesn't mean that anyone is listening.
2008-03-22 17:00 < The_sunder_king> I don't want to call it anymore
2008-03-22 17:00 < Tefad> howdy again
2008-03-22 17:00 < quanticle> The_sunder_king: I don't think anyone monitors that stalkword.
2008-03-22 17:00 < Tefad> i had a question earlier that didn't seem to get answered
2008-03-22 17:00 < quanticle> Tefad: Well, I wasn't here for that, so go ahead and ask again.
2008-03-22 17:00 < Tefad> i downloaded a png image and optimized it for size (losslessly), it's 54% of the original size
2008-03-22 17:00 < Tefad> how do i submit this
2008-03-22 17:00 < mexicanbanana> Why is Lolita 14 in both movie adaptions when she is 12 in the book? I can understand that the 1962 version had to do it because of censorship, but in 1997 (the second adaption), it should have been possible, no?
2008-03-22 17:01 < Rinn|Dead> mexicanbanana: But think of the children!
2008-03-22 17:01 < mexicanbanana> Why is a book different?
2008-03-22 17:01 < mexicanbanana> The book was even earlier (obviously).
2008-03-22 17:02 < quanticle> Tefad: It was a Commons image?
2008-03-22 17:03 < Rinn|Dead> Because books are boring and have absolutely no psychological effect on children whatsoever. In a movie, though, that's blasphemy.
2008-03-22 17:03 < Tefad> quanticle: screenshot posted on wikipedia
2008-03-22 17:04 < Tefad> like /wiki/Image:
2008-03-22 17:04 < quanticle> Tefad: Could you link to the actual image?
2008-03-22 17:04 < quanticle> Tefad: The original image, I mean.
2008-03-22 17:04 < Tefad> it really depends on the image?

2008-03-22 17:07 < Alkivar> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaDvhxIcogY
2008-03-22 17:08 < Rinn|Dead> I wonder why I still click links given by people who've just joined.
2008-03-22 17:08 < snowolf> oh Alkivar!
2008-03-22 17:08 < snowolf> long time :)
2008-03-22 17:08 < Alkivar> because we bite your heads off if you dont
2008-03-22 17:08 < ideogram> ?
2008-03-22 17:09 < ideogram> tsk, op abuse
2008-03-22 17:09 < Tefad> Alkivar: is this like ENERGY LEGS/RUN LIKE KENYANS
2008-03-22 17:09 < AppleBoy> hey Alkivar :)
2008-03-22 17:10 < AppleBoy> interesting, I can startup my vmware windows XP setup, but I can't shut it down :/
2008-03-22 17:10 < quanticle> Tefad: No it doesn't depend on the image. Have you tried re-uploading the image under the same name?
2008-03-22 17:10 < AppleBoy> I wonder what I removed that's stopping it
2008-03-22 17:11 * quanticle wonders if GDonato's having connection issues.
2008-03-22 17:11 < GDonato> client issues
2008-03-22 17:11 < Tefad> quanticle: i can't do that unless i have an account
2008-03-22 17:11 < GDonato> that should be last one ;)
2008-03-22 17:11 < Tefad> also, that doesn't seem intuitive to me : X
2008-03-22 17:12 < quanticle> Tefad: Have you clicked the "Upload a new version of this file" link.
2008-03-22 17:12 * quanticle missed it the first time through too
2008-03-22 17:12 < Traveler2> I am Traveler. I need some guidance to solve a problem about uploading onto the Commons. If I take a sketch from the English Wikipedia for presentation in another language whilst the picture stays the same, does the explanatory writing (describing the translated parts of the sketch) have to be uploaded onto the Commons under some modified title of the original title but still in English, under a new title in the targ
2008-03-22 17:12 < Tefad> quanticle: i don't see that anywhere on the page
2008-03-22 17:13 < Pilotguy> Traveler2- #wikimedia-commons
2008-03-22 17:13 < Tefad> i see "Edit this file using an external application"
2008-03-22 17:13 < Tefad> which prompts me to download PHP source file
2008-03-22 17:13 < Tefad> for some.. arbitrary reason..
2008-03-22 17:13 < Tefad> (i smell bug)
2008-03-22 17:13 < quanticle> Tefad: It might be because you're not logged in.
2008-03-22 17:14 < Tefad> logged in?
2008-03-22 17:14 < Tefad> how can i do that if i don't have an account
2008-03-22 17:14 < quanticle> Tefad: I.e. you might need a user account to upload new versions.
2008-03-22 17:14 < Traveler2> Pilotguy, Yes
2008-03-22 17:14 < quanticle> Tefad: You need a user account then.
2008-03-22 17:14 < Tefad> i outright refuse to submit my email address to any more websites : (
2008-03-22 17:15 < Tefad> well, i made a decent attempt i guess : )
2008-03-22 17:15 < shimgray> Tefad: yeah, you can't upload files without an account
2008-03-22 17:15 < Tefad> farewell : )
2008-03-22 17:20 < The_sunder_king> is there a checkuser here now?
2008-03-22 17:21 < GDonato> The_sunder_king: is it important?
2008-03-22 17:22 < The_sunder_king> GDonato yes
2008-03-22 17:23 < GDonato> !checkuser
2008-03-22 17:23 < GDonato> worth a try
2008-03-22 17:23 < snowolf> XD
2008-03-22 17:23 < ST47> You know, noone stalks that
2008-03-22 17:23 < ST47> Except snowolf
2008-03-22 17:23 < The_sunder_king> i tried it and I was told nobody uses it
2008-03-22 17:23 < ST47> Who isn't a checkuser
2008-03-22 17:23 < snowolf> and ST47, it seems :P
2008-03-22 17:23 < ST47> But likes to make fun of us mortals
2008-03-22 17:27 < Traveler2> G'buy
2008-03-22 17:28 < Messedrocker> what the hell is King Dedede?
2008-03-22 17:28 < Messedrocker> I mean, I know who he is
2008-03-22 17:28 < Messedrocker> But what actually is he?
2008-03-22 17:28 < Rinn|Dead> He's some kind of penguin-thing.
2008-03-22 17:36 < rw> hi all
2008-03-22 17:37 < Messedrocker> hi rw
2008-03-22 17:37 < rw> hi Messedrocker
2008-03-22 17:41 < Alkivar> http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff128/lajimi/Misc/olymp2008.jpg
2008-03-22 17:41 < The_sunder_king> that's inapropriate if you ask me
2008-03-22 17:41 < Alkivar> thats entirely appropriate
2008-03-22 17:41 < The_sunder_king> so don't post it
2008-03-22 17:42 < shimgray> Alkivar: <Rinn|Dead> He's some kind of penguin-thing.
2008-03-22 17:42 < shimgray> eek!

2008-03-22 17:42 < shimgray> I hate that copy-from-xchat thing

2008-03-22 17:43 < Alkivar> so china has banned live footage from tienemen square
2008-03-22 17:44 < Alkivar> yeah like thats going to stop the tibet protests
2008-03-22 17:46 < rw> Alkivar, how do you mean?
2008-03-22 17:46 < mexicanbanana> Alkivar: 1. Why didn't the other tanks go around the first tank? 2. That was China -- why didn't they just run over him with the first tank? They kill people like flies over there -- why was this one person so untouchable?
2008-03-22 17:46 < Alec> can you please tell me ho do I register my name, I forgot the command
2008-03-22 17:47 < snowolf> Alec: where?
2008-03-22 17:47 < snowolf> IRC? Wiki?
2008-03-22 17:47 < rw> mexicanbanana, probably because they knew that thousands of ppl were watching. millions if you add the cameras.
2008-03-22 17:47 < snowolf> register office?
2008-03-22 17:47 < mexicanbanana> rw: It was live?
2008-03-22 17:48 < rw> mexicanbanana, no it wasn't. but they knew obviously that there were cameras there
2008-03-22 17:48 < Alec> snowolf here
2008-03-22 17:48 < Alec> irc
2008-03-22 17:48 < snowolf> Alec: /msg chanserv help register
2008-03-22 17:48 < snowolf> but your nick is already taken
2008-03-22 17:48 < shimgray> the image wasn't live, but made it out a day or so later
2008-03-22 17:49 < Alec> sh...
2008-03-22 17:49 < rw> it doesn't matter if it was live. the simple fact that it was visually documented meant that whatever they would be doing next would probably find its audience arround the globe pretty soon
2008-03-22 17:50 < shimgray> as to "why didn't they kill him", astonishingly, one might suggest that the average Chinese conscript is not always particularly geared up for killing people on a personal level.
2008-03-22 17:51 < rw> hm
2008-03-22 17:56 < mexicanbanana> shimgray: I wouldn't be so sure... they're crazy as fuck over there.
2008-03-22 17:57 < shimgray> mexicanbanana: Ah, yes, those Crazy Murderous Foreigners. Not real people at all. Etc.
2008-03-22 17:57 < mexicanbanana> Bleh.
2008-03-22 17:57 < mexicanbanana> I didn't say that...
2008-03-22 17:58 < mexicanbanana> I am just several times more scared of China compared to the USA, although I wouldn't dare to visit USA either. :P
2008-03-22 17:58 < mexicanbanana> Or UK.
2008-03-22 17:59 < Seddon69> yes everytime i go out my front door, im always afriad im gonna get run over by a tank
2008-03-22 17:59 < mexicanbanana> Can WikiMedia Commons-hosted images be counted on staying around forever, and reliably linked to, like an image host?
2008-03-22 17:59 < Seddon69> ?????????
2008-03-22 17:59 < mexicanbanana> Seddon69: Not what I meant.
2008-03-22 17:59 < Seddon69> :P
2008-03-22 18:00 < ST47> Jessu christ this computer sucks.
2008-03-22 18:01 < mexicanbanana> Ecactly how willingly did the native Americans ("Indians") accept the reservates reserved for them?
2008-03-22 18:01 < mexicanbanana> s/Eca/Exa/
2008-03-22 18:19 < mexicanbanana> Exactly how willingly did the (majority of the) native Americans ("Indians") accept the reservates reserved for them?
