2008-03-22 18:24 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: Not very willingly.
2008-03-22 18:24 < The_sunder_king> any CU's avaliable now?
2008-03-22 18:25 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: Can't say I blame 'em of course.
2008-03-22 18:25 < snowolf> The_sunder_king: no, try onwiki
2008-03-22 18:25 < The_sunder_king> on wiki?
2008-03-22 18:25 < snowolf> with the appropriate onwiki procedure I mean
2008-03-22 18:25 < The_sunder_king> the request is there
2008-03-22 18:26 < The_sunder_king> its been waiting all day
2008-03-22 18:26 < snowolf> well, they're busy I guess
2008-03-22 18:26 < The_sunder_king> ok
2008-03-22 18:27 < quanticle> The_sunder_king: It seems that admins with CU privileges almost never hang out on #wikipedia, so its pretty rare for a request on IRC to proceed more quickly than a request on Wikipedia itself.
2008-03-22 18:27 < The_sunder_king> ok
2008-03-22 18:28 < NotASpy> The_sunder_king: it's hardly an urgent request though, and the only CU I know to be about is feeling a bit off-colour today. Patience is therefore the order of the day
2008-03-22 18:28 < The_sunder_king> ok
2008-03-22 18:29 < mexicanbanana> Heh. It would almost be comical if somebody tried to attack USA today.
2008-03-22 18:29 < The_sunder_king> how?
2008-03-22 18:29 < mexicanbanana> Dunno. By the sea or air.
2008-03-22 18:30 < mexicanbanana> Can you imagine the reaction?
2008-03-22 18:30 < mexicanbanana> I mean... literally going there and start bombing.
2008-03-22 18:30 < mexicanbanana> No warnings. Some country just decides it wants to take over USA.
2008-03-22 18:31 < mexicanbanana> Like they did it back in the day.
2008-03-22 18:31 < Lucifer_Cat> mexicanbanana: im sure there were ample warnings
2008-03-22 18:31 < NotASpy> ...and a state of war exists between the United States and <insert country here>. They killed the easter bunny.
2008-03-22 18:31 < Lucifer_Cat> iirc, the settlers lived alonside the natives for a while before turning douchebags
2008-03-22 18:31 < mexicanbanana> Sooner or later, this is gonna happen for sure.
2008-03-22 18:32 < Gracenotes> if that happens this year, I'm sure we all know who's going to win the general election...
2008-03-22 18:33 < NotASpy> alcoholic easter eggs are a great invention, aren't they, mexicanbanana.
2008-03-22 18:33 < Lucifer_Cat> Gracenotes: nader?
2008-03-22 18:33 < mexicanbanana> NotASpy: I wouldn't know...
2008-03-22 18:33 < mexicanbanana> Gracenotes: Who?
2008-03-22 18:33 < Gracenotes> Lucifer_Cat: wistful, but no
2008-03-22 18:33 < mexicanbanana> If it happened today, would the USA stand a chance with such huge national debts and no more soldiers because of the Middle East war?
2008-03-22 18:33 < Lucifer_Cat> i was aiming for "Funny, but no" :S
2008-03-22 18:34 < mexicanbanana> I suppose they would get backup from allies.
2008-03-22 18:34 < Gracenotes> allies? which allies?
2008-03-22 18:34 < Gracenotes> I wasn't aware we had any allies.
2008-03-22 18:34 < mexicanbanana> I dunno. I assumed they had NATO countries and whatnot.
2008-03-22 18:34 < Lucifer_Cat> mexicanbanana: a LOT of economies depend on USA. they'd get help from unexpectedquarters
2008-03-22 18:34 < mexicanbanana> Denmark. :P
2008-03-22 18:35 < mexicanbanana> Hmm...
2008-03-22 18:35 < Gracenotes> Lucifer_Cat: assuming the attack isn't both military *and* economic in nature
2008-03-22 18:35 < mexicanbanana> I guess the attacking country could be traced somehow.
2008-03-22 18:35 < Lucifer_Cat> Gracenotes: a devastating military attack = economy bye bye
2008-03-22 18:35 < mexicanbanana> Even if they scraped off the flags/marks on the ships/bombers.
2008-03-22 18:36 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: I somehow have difficulty imagining it, especially given that each one of our aircraft carriers holds more planes than most other countries entire air force...
2008-03-22 18:36 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: haha true
2008-03-22 18:36 < mexicanbanana> :S
2008-03-22 18:36 < Gracenotes> Lucifer_Cat: yeah. Thinking more of something that would result in an economic paradigm shift (if you're partial to Kuhn)
2008-03-22 18:37 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: I saw an estimate somewhere saying that, if we wanted, we could probably take on England with just two of our carrier battle groups and win...
2008-03-22 18:37 < Lucifer_Cat> non conformist Schrodinger_Cat is the goto guy for military stuff
2008-03-22 18:37 < mexicanbanana> Well... what is to stop any random nuclear weapon country such as France from simply firing off a big fat a-bomb in the middle of the USA right now? It would practically ruin the nation. I guess the problem would be getting a plane over USA soil to drop it. Do those stealth air planes still dodge radars?
2008-03-22 18:38 < mexicanbanana> quanticle: :S
2008-03-22 18:38 < Lucifer_Cat> mexicanbanana: dropping nukes aint easy
2008-03-22 18:38 < Lucifer_Cat> also rest of the world would hate you
2008-03-22 18:38 < mexicanbanana> Can't an a-bomb be delivered remotely, traveling by super-speed with some sort of "launcher" projectile?
2008-03-22 18:38 < Lucifer_Cat> so u gain nothing really
2008-03-22 18:39 < Lucifer_Cat> mexicanbanana: its called a 'missile'
2008-03-22 18:39 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: Stealth doesn't make you invisible. Its more like camouflage against radar - you're harder to spot, but you'll still be spotted if you're going up against a sophisticated enough radar system.
2008-03-22 18:39 < mexicanbanana> I am having a hard time seeing this missile shot down.
2008-03-22 18:39 < mexicanbanana> And even if it's shot down, doesn't that mean it explodes when it hits ground?
2008-03-22 18:39 < mavhc> a nuke only wipes one 1 city
2008-03-22 18:39 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Depends on type of missile...
2008-03-22 18:39 < mexicanbanana> quanticle: I see.
2008-03-22 18:39 < Lucifer_Cat> it explodes mid air
2008-03-22 18:39 < Gracenotes> there would probably be decoys if someone wanted to launch a sophisticated attack
2008-03-22 18:40 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: Nope. If you take out a nuke in the air, you'll just scatter U or Pu over a large area...
2008-03-22 18:40 < mexicanbanana> I am sure there is some way, but I have personally no idea how you would trace from where a missile was launched.
2008-03-22 18:40 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: If its a ballistic missile, its fairly simple...
2008-03-22 18:40 < Gracenotes> mexicanbanana: well, it isn't rocket science
2008-03-22 18:40 < mexicanbanana> Hehe...
2008-03-22 18:40 < Lucifer_Cat> theres satellites + surveillance
2008-03-22 18:40 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Nope, its missile science!
2008-03-22 18:41 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: You could also y'know just see how fast the missile is coming down, and work out the simple physics...
2008-03-22 18:41 < mexicanbanana> Satellites? You mean they keep complete logs of the pictures and take them like every minute over the entire planet? I find that slightly hard to believe. :S
2008-03-22 18:41 < Gracenotes> really :P Do we have an article? [[missile science]]
2008-03-22 18:41 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: exactly what i was thinkin
2008-03-22 18:41 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: Not complete logs. The satellites look for the IR signature of a missile launch and report in if they see it.
2008-03-22 18:42 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: That way, we know who to strike back against before the missile reaches us.
2008-03-22 18:42 < mexicanbanana> Hmm...
2008-03-22 18:42 * Lucifer_Cat penclis "Dr. Strangelove" into his schedule
2008-03-22 18:43 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: The Russians maintain a similar system. This is why we have to report in if we launch a sattelite on a transpolar orbit.
2008-03-22 18:43 < mexicanbanana> I try to imagine a "war room" and several military bunkers with "defcon" status LEDs, alert 24/7, but I just can't. It seems so surreal. Heh.
2008-03-22 18:43 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: We notify them so that they know its not a surprise nuke strike.
2008-03-22 18:43 < mexicanbanana> quanticle: Hmm...
2008-03-22 18:43 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: Look up a documentary on Cheyenne Mountain...
2008-03-22 18:44 < quanticle> Its rather difficult to hide a missile launch, actually...
2008-03-22 18:44 < mexicanbanana> Seems like it...
2008-03-22 18:44 < mexicanbanana> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/NORADBlast-Doors.jpg <-- Now, that's a blast door.
2008-03-22 18:44 < quanticle> Its rather bright, and the missile is pretty easy to spot on the way up...
2008-03-22 18:44 < Lucifer_Cat> not to mention that we are always watching hostile, not-so-hostile countries
2008-03-22 18:45 < quanticle> Finding it on the way down, however is a much more difficult proposition, esepcially give the existence of MIRVS.
2008-03-22 18:45 < NotASpy> do the blast doors actually work at NORAD ?
2008-03-22 18:45 < quanticle> NotASpy: I doubt if they could take a direct hit, but I don't doubt that they could withstand significant force.
2008-03-22 18:45 < mexicanbanana> I want a server inside a data center with such a blast door.
2008-03-22 18:46 < Cyrius> mexicanbanana: also mounted so the blast goes past the door horizontally
2008-03-22 18:46 < mexicanbanana> Cyrius: ?
2008-03-22 18:46 < The359> oh look, its the Ten Commandments
2008-03-22 18:46 < The359> why do we play this shit on TV anymore?
2008-03-22 18:46 < Cyrius> it's in the wall of a tunnel
2008-03-22 18:47 < Cyrius> the only way to make a blast go straight at the door is by driving a truck up to it
2008-03-22 18:47 < Alkivar> because its easter?
2008-03-22 18:47 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: I only heard about this tangentially, but I think there is a nuclear shelter (built for government officials) just outside of DC that's getting converted to a data center. They have such doors, in addition to things like backup generators and geothermal cooling that make it really easy to provide high levels of uptime.
2008-03-22 18:48 < mexicanbanana> :O
2008-03-22 18:48 < mexicanbanana> A leftover nuclear shelter from the paranoid 1950s?
2008-03-22 18:48 < mexicanbanana> Where every household was told to make one?
2008-03-22 18:48 < NotASpy> quanticle: I was just wondering because the Swiss have whole tunnels designed as nuclear bunkers, with NORAD style doors, but found they didn't work much after a few years.
2008-03-22 18:49 < quanticle> mexicanbanana: Yep. There's a surprising number of them left over, now that the Cold War's done.
2008-03-22 18:50 < quanticle> NotASpy: Yeah. The sheer weight of the doors would put a lot of stress on the open/close machinery, and the seals that you'd need to have to keep the fallout from going into the bunker...
2008-03-22 18:51 < Lucifer_Cat> regular maintenance
2008-03-22 18:51 < Lucifer_Cat> expensive
2008-03-22 18:52 < quanticle> Yep.
2008-03-22 18:53 < Huntster> hmm
2008-03-22 18:53 < AppleBoy> aww hell yeah
2008-03-22 18:53 < quanticle> AppleBoy: Hmmm?
2008-03-22 18:54 < AppleBoy> I'm too lazy to finish the process, but I've been going through my windowsXP installation, got it down to... hrmm
2008-03-22 18:54 < NotASpy> this is the Swiss we're talking about. The make the best of everything. If they can't make them work, who can ?
2008-03-22 18:54 < Huntster> any idea why #wikipedia-en is talk-restricted?
2008-03-22 18:54 < AppleBoy> windows folder is down to 1GB
2008-03-22 18:54 < snowolf> is it?
2008-03-22 18:54 < snowolf> what do you mean, Huntster?
2008-03-22 18:54 < FastLizard4|away> Huntster: Huh?

2008-03-22 18:54 < FastLizard4|away> (I think)
2008-03-22 18:55 < AppleBoy> FastLizard4|away: we should then ban him in here for good measure
2008-03-22 18:55 < AppleBoy> :P
2008-03-22 18:55 < Huntster> Ugh. damn cable modem.
2008-03-22 18:55 * Huntster strangles AppleBoy.

2008-03-22 18:55 < AppleBoy> lol
2008-03-22 18:55 < Huntster> No. surge hit cable modem yesterday, kept causing it to reset. not surprised I'd be silenced.
2008-03-22 18:55 < NotASpy> Huntster: > Ban[4614] *!*@unaffiliated/huntster!##fix_your_connection is active and was set in #Wikipedia-en by Warpath!i=VRS@wikimedia/Cometstyles on 2008-03-22 05:29:09 with reason "".

2008-03-22 18:58 < Werdna> FastLizard4|away: an archived talk page? :P
2008-03-22 18:58 < snowolf> Werdna: how many times a day do you run the bot?
2008-03-22 18:58 < FastLizard4|away> Werdna: Sorry, I use MiszaBot III
2008-03-22 18:58 < Werdna> snowolf: haven't decided yet.

2008-03-22 19:01 < Werdna> I wonder if I should run it hourly and allow users to specify how often it does it
2008-03-22 19:01 < NotACow> jerusalemboogie: not my problem :)

2008-03-22 20:08 < john1234> @Random832 cheers
2008-03-22 20:10 < Random832> incidentally, the spheres are given thicknes by nesting smaller spheres, see http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta/f/f3/Paullusmagnus-logo_%28just_sphere%29.png for how an earlier candidate looks in high resolution
2008-03-22 20:11 < jengelh> How do bots actually get notified of changed pages unless they visit them themselves?
2008-03-22 20:11 < Random832> recent changes
2008-03-22 20:11 < Alkivar> through recent changes
2008-03-22 20:12 < Lucifer_Cat> heh, awesome discussion going on in #xkcd... and a lot in part thanks to me :D
2008-03-22 20:12 < Random832> there's a live IRC feed of it (on wikimedia irc, not here)
2008-03-22 20:12 < Lucifer_Cat> flying trains
2008-03-22 20:12 < jengelh> hm, is there perhaps a more text/plain based interfaces than the Recent Changes page for parsing by bots?
2008-03-22 20:12 < jengelh> ah cool
2008-03-22 20:13 < Random832> jengelh: I'm sure it can be accessed via the API as well - and I think there's RSS.
2008-03-22 20:36 < Wikiacc> hi Pichu0102
2008-03-22 20:37 < Wikiacc> hi jroes
2008-03-22 20:37 < jroes> hi
2008-03-22 20:37 < jroes> is Yngvarr here?
2008-03-22 20:37 < jroes> (maybe using another nick)
2008-03-22 20:38 < Wikiacc> the nick Yngvarr isn't here, no, i don't know of any of Yngvarr's other nicks
2008-03-22 20:38 < jroes> he declined my request for a redirect for mdns => Multicast_DNS citing that the mdns article already exists in Wikipedia, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mdns says otherwise
2008-03-22 20:38 < jroes> think it's just a mistake, but maybe I'm missing something :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Today#mdns
2008-03-22 20:39 < Wikiacc> MDNS exists though
2008-03-22 20:39 < Wikiacc> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MDNS&redirect=no
2008-03-22 20:39 < jroes> ahh
2008-03-22 20:39 < jroes> that would be it then :)
2008-03-22 20:39 < jroes> I'm stupidly typing out the URL by hand instead of searching
2008-03-22 20:40 < jroes> thanks Wikiacc
2008-03-22 20:40 < Wikiacc> yw
2008-03-22 21:07 < opertinicy> Cyrius: i made the redirect with improper capitalization
2008-03-22 21:07 < opertinicy> on the last name
2008-03-22 21:07 < Cyrius> that's what redirects are for
2008-03-22 21:08 < Ningyou> hey guys
2008-03-22 21:08 < opertinicy> i mean, rather than have the page say "(Redirected from Brooke lopez)"
2008-03-22 21:08 < Ningyou> any of you know a qnet server that allows asians to connect?
2008-03-22 21:08 < opertinicy> it should be "(Redirected from Brooke Lopez)"
2008-03-22 21:08 < Ningyou> I'm at the airport and I need to tell my mate to come to pick me up but can't connect to qnet :D
2008-03-22 21:08 < Ningyou> because I AM ASIAN :P
2008-03-22 21:09 < Arwen> anyone here use Gentoo?>
2008-03-22 21:09 < Gracenotes> opertinicy: you can make another redirect with the correct capitalization
2008-03-22 21:09 < Ningyou> :<
2008-03-22 21:10 < opertinicy> but if someone just simply types 'brooke lopez', i think it should appear on the correct page as "(Redirected from Brooke Lopez)"
2008-03-22 21:10 < Gracenotes> opertinicy: why?
2008-03-22 21:10 < opertinicy> i mean it's nothing more than looking professional
2008-03-22 21:10 < Cyrius> but that's what they typed in
2008-03-22 21:11 < Gracenotes> when you search for "Brooke Lopez", MediaWiki sees that the page doesn't exist, and finds the nearest case-insensitive match, which is "Brooke lopez". *That* page is a redirect to Brook Lopez, so it all works out
2008-03-22 21:11 < Gracenotes> but, now there's a double redirect, I guess.
2008-03-22 21:12 < opertinicy> you see what im sayin
2008-03-22 21:12 < opertinicy> kill the "Brooke lopez" page
2008-03-22 21:12 < Gracenotes> opertinicy: no real advantage to it, unfortunately. Redirects are cheap
2008-03-22 21:13 < opertinicy> professionalism is all i'm citing
2008-03-22 21:13 < Cyrius> what professionalism?
2008-03-22 21:13 < Cyrius> we're showing people what they typed in
2008-03-22 21:14 < Gracenotes> redirects are anything but professional :) The way it's set up now, search for "Brooke Lopez" will bring you to [[Brook Lopez]] with a note "Redirected from Brooke Lopez". That's what you want, I hope :)
2008-03-22 21:14 < Cyrius> both redirects exist
2008-03-22 21:14 < opertinicy> if i search for "mark magwire", the correct page says "(Redirected from Mark Magwire)"
2008-03-22 21:14 < opertinicy> not "(Redirected from Mark magwire)"
2008-03-22 21:14 < opertinicy> comprendo?
2008-03-22 21:14 < Cyrius> so?
2008-03-22 21:14 < Random832> it's not a real name so why does it matter if it's capitalized?
2008-03-22 21:14 < opertinicy> professionalism is all i'm citing
2008-03-22 21:15 < Cyrius> you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means
2008-03-22 21:15 < Random832> if you care about professionalism you'll capitalize the name in your search. and spell it correctly.
2008-03-22 21:15 < opertinicy> i'm speaking as an editor
2008-03-22 21:15 < opertinicy> jeez
2008-03-22 21:15 < Random832> eh
2008-03-22 21:15 < opertinicy> anyways lost cause
2008-03-22 21:16 < Cyrius> it's like google's spell check
2008-03-22 21:16 < Random832> logically there's no reason to show _readers_ the "redirected from" bit at all
2008-03-22 21:16 < Cyrius> it searches for your misspelling and says "did you mean <whatever>"
2008-03-22 21:16 < opertinicy> didn't think it would have that much grief
2008-03-22 21:16 < Tex> Cyrius: what movie was that quote from?
2008-03-22 21:16 < Random832> it could be hidden by default like hidden categories
2008-03-22 21:16 < Cyrius> Tex:
2008-03-22 21:16 < Cyrius> bah
2008-03-22 21:16 < Gracenotes> Random832: and that way, we don't have to implement redirects in a broken way!
2008-03-22 21:16 < Cyrius> Tex: [[The Princess Bride]]
2008-03-22 21:16 < Random832> that would be another benefit, yes.
2008-03-22 21:16 < Tex> Ah, that's right!
2008-03-22 21:16 < Cyrius> referred o the word 'inconceivable'
2008-03-22 21:17 < Tex> classic
2008-03-22 21:24 < bumm13> gah, my truck won't start >:I
2008-03-22 21:38 < CoJaBo> Can anyone see this?
2008-03-22 21:40 < NCC-1701-E> I think so, why?
2008-03-22 21:40 < Cyrius> I can't
2008-03-22 21:41 < CoJaBo> This is strange I can't connect to anything, but existing connections seem to work...
2008-03-22 21:42 < CoJaBo> My router says I'm being DoSed...
2008-03-22 21:43 < CoJaBo> But I can't look up the IP because my internet is out :/
2008-03-22 21:44 < NCC-1701-E> :\
2008-03-22 21:44 < NCC-1701-E> I can see what you are saying
2008-03-22 21:44 < CoJaBo> That is strange.
2008-03-22 21:46 < NCC-1701-E> CoJaBo: Stand by, I'm going to CTCP you a few times
2008-03-22 21:47 < NCC-1701-E> CoJaBo: I can read you fine
2008-03-22 21:47 < CoJaBo> I got something, and now it works again.
2008-03-22 21:47 < NCC-1701-E> 1.03 seconds
2008-03-22 21:48 < NCC-1701-E> hrm
2008-03-22 21:50 < NCC-1701-E> CoJaBo: Did you see a message reading "Unknown CTCP dns () from NCC-1701-E"
2008-03-22 21:50 < CoJaBo> Yes
2008-03-22 21:50 < NCC-1701-E> OK
2008-03-22 21:50 < NCC-1701-E> That means that it is working both ways
2008-03-22 21:52 < al3ks> hi
2008-03-22 21:52 < CoJaBo> My router seems to think my modem is DoSing it...
2008-03-22 21:52 < al3ks> I got a question
2008-03-22 21:52 < NCC-1701-E> al3ks: Go ahead
2008-03-22 21:52 < NCC-1701-E> CoJaBo: This is called a "hardware conflict", and happens whenever you use a computer :P
2008-03-22 21:53 < CoJaBo> lol
2008-03-22 21:53 < Lucifer_Cat> al3ks: ask
2008-03-22 21:54 < al3ks> ok basically in polish wikipedia the article capitalism is really weak yea thats why I'd like to develop it a little bit
2008-03-22 21:54 < al3ks> I got some knowledge about it
2008-03-22 21:54 < NCC-1701-E> al3ks: Be bold and change it :)
2008-03-22 21:54 < Cyrius> so what's the question?
2008-03-22 21:54 < Lucifer_Cat> go ahead! just be sure to cite your sources
2008-03-22 21:55 < al3ks> but there is also a lot of good stuff about capitalism in article in english wiki
2008-03-22 21:55 < al3ks> and the question is
2008-03-22 21:55 < Lucifer_Cat> Cyrius: i think hes just a newb like me, and wants to know hes not messing up
2008-03-22 21:55 < al3ks> can I take some stuff from english wiki and just translate it into polsih ?
2008-03-22 21:55 < al3ks> polish*
2008-03-22 21:55 < Cyrius> there's attribution requirements, which can make that a bit troublesome
2008-03-22 21:55 < al3ks> sorry that it took my so long but I'm tired and it's really hard for me to think rationally
2008-03-22 21:56 < Lucifer_Cat> no worries al3ks, i have trouble thinking too
2008-03-22 21:57 < al3ks> so whats with that translating ?
2008-03-22 21:57 < Lucifer_Cat> <Cyrius> there's attribution requirements, which can make that a bit troublesome
2008-03-22 21:57 < al3ks> because it's much easier to just translate
2008-03-22 21:57 < al3ks> oh that was for me ;p
2008-03-22 21:57 < al3ks> ok what attribution ?
2008-03-22 21:58 * NCC-1701-E ʅʅəʍ ʎɹəʌ ʞuɪɥʇ ʇ,uɐɔ puɐ 'ʍou ʇɥɓɪɹ uʍopəpɪsdn ɓuɪʞuɪɥʇ sɪ
2008-03-22 21:58 < Cyrius> the license requires you to say who wrote what you're using
2008-03-22 21:58 < Cyrius> I don't have any experience with what various Wikipedias do to handle translations
2008-03-22 21:59 < Cyrius> there's probably on pl.wikipedia who can tell you how to handle it
2008-03-22 21:59 < al3ks> so you're meaning that every part that I'm translating I got to put proper notation at the bottom of the art ?
2008-03-22 21:59 < Tex> just go to the sources used in the En version and translate it from the original
2008-03-22 21:59 < Cyrius> no, I'm saying you should ask on pl.wikipedia.org's...whatever they call their place for asking questions
2008-03-22 21:59 < Cyrius> and see what they say you should do
2008-03-22 22:00 < NCC-1701-E> al3ks: Try #wikipedia-pl
2008-03-22 22:00 < NCC-1701-E> That's the polish channel
2008-03-22 22:00 < al3ks> ok I gotta do it tomorrow because right now it's 4 a.m. in poland
2008-03-22 22:00 < al3ks> so probably there's nobody there
2008-03-22 22:00 < NCC-1701-E> al3ks: No problem, and come back here if you need anything more
2008-03-22 22:01 < al3ks> ok but generally you think thats possible ? I mean, that on certain wiki's can be just translated articles ?
2008-03-22 22:02 < Cyrius> yes, it's possible
2008-03-22 22:02 < Cyrius> ask them what you need to do
2008-03-22 22:02 < al3ks> ok then, thanks a lot, I'll talk to them on wikipedia-pl channel tomorrow
2008-03-22 22:03 < al3ks> c'ya

2008-03-22 22:59 < Ceiling_Cat> HA HA
2008-03-22 22:59 < yrlnry_> The category listing at the bottom of [[Category:Watergate]] suggests that [[Category:Watergate]] is a subcategory of [[Category:American political scandals]], but the list of subcategories at the top of [[Category:American political scandals]] doesn't include [[Category:Watergate]]. What's going on?
2008-03-22 23:00 < Cyrius> click next
2008-03-22 23:00 < Cyrius> it tries to divide up the subcategories along with the pages, for some reason
2008-03-22 23:03 < DeadEyeArrow> Ah crap, looks like that GiantMicrobes idea won't work
2008-03-22 23:03 < Werdna> DeadEyeArrow: too late?
2008-03-22 23:03 < Cyrius> idea?
2008-03-22 23:04 < yrlnry_> Cyrius: thanks.
2008-03-22 23:04 < DeadEyeArrow> Yea, basically too late
2008-03-22 23:04 < Cyrius> what idea?
2008-03-22 23:04 < Werdna> birthday present
2008-03-22 23:04 < kenlyric> my precious
2008-03-22 23:09 < Tex> Yee-Haw!
2008-03-22 23:36 < JasonBourne> ive got a question bout the global warming article on wikipedia
2008-03-22 23:36 < JasonBourne> im wondering how recent an accurate it is?
2008-03-22 23:36 < JasonBourne> cuz im sittin here in chicago an it is snowing near the end of march
2008-03-22 23:36 < JasonBourne> this is the longest coldest winter weve ever had in 100's of years
2008-03-22 23:36 < bumm13> ...
2008-03-22 23:37 < Cyrius> it's called global warming, not "it will be hot where you are"
2008-03-22 23:37 < JasonBourne> tbh i say bring the warming on cuz i just dont see it
2008-03-22 23:37 < JasonBourne> wouldn't it be medium then?
2008-03-22 23:37 < Cyrius> no.
2008-03-22 23:37 < JasonBourne> or average atleast?
2008-03-22 23:37 < JasonBourne> whys it so friggin cold
2008-03-22 23:37 < Cyrius> it's about a few degrees, averaged across the planet
2008-03-22 23:37 < Cyrius> over time
2008-03-22 23:37 < JasonBourne> record breaking lows in the middle of the usa doesnt seem like warming
2008-03-22 23:38 < JasonBourne> i just want to see some proof from my area that its warming
2008-03-22 23:38 < Cyrius> it's called _global_ warming
2008-03-22 23:38 < JasonBourne> ok wlell what about chicago temps
2008-03-22 23:38 < Cyrius> not warming-where-you-are
2008-03-22 23:38 < JasonBourne> wiki should list every state
2008-03-22 23:38 < JasonBourne> an city
2008-03-22 23:38 < Cyrius> it's about averaging out the temperature of the whole planet and finding it's getting higher
2008-03-22 23:38 < Cyrius> you don't want to understand
2008-03-22 23:38 < Werdna> also, the difference is a few degrees.
2008-03-22 23:39 < JasonBourne> so i can look at some data myself
2008-03-22 23:39 < Werdna> like, instead of being 30, it's 33
2008-03-22 23:39 < JasonBourne> i just would like to see data
2008-03-22 23:39 < JasonBourne> of specific places
2008-03-22 23:39 < Cyrius> a data point from a single location is useless in assessing global warming
2008-03-22 23:39 < JasonBourne> on where the warming is mainly focused at
2008-03-22 23:39 < Werdna> specific places are pointless.
2008-03-22 23:39 < Cyrius> there is no focus
2008-03-22 23:39 < Werdna> and it's not focussed anywhere
2008-03-22 23:39 < JasonBourne> well if like antaritci is warming but my town is gettin freezing cold
2008-03-22 23:39 < Werdna> nope
2008-03-22 23:39 < JasonBourne> why should i have to payt tax money
2008-03-22 23:40 < JasonBourne> to fix global warmin when it wont effect me
2008-03-22 23:40 < Cyrius> because it will affect you
2008-03-22 23:40 < Werdna> JasonBourne: the whole world is getting slightly slightly warmer
2008-03-22 23:40 < JasonBourne> thats the dumbest aregument ever
2008-03-22 23:40 < Cyrius> it affects the globe, it's global
2008-03-22 23:40 < Werdna> by a degree or two
2008-03-22 23:40 < Cyrius> "I don't understand, therefore it is stupid"
2008-03-22 23:40 < JasonBourne> welll guys im just saying turn on ur tv's
2008-03-22 23:40 < Werdna> now that degree or two is enough to melt certain glaciers which are a bit below freezing.
2008-03-22 23:40 < JasonBourne> an look at chicago
2008-03-22 23:40 < JasonBourne> its snowing near april
2008-03-22 23:40 < Werdna> if you warm those a bit above freezing, they'll melt
2008-03-22 23:40 < JasonBourne> take that what u wiil
2008-03-22 23:40 < JasonBourne> dont buy the hype
2008-03-22 23:40 < Cyrius> global warming means more energy available to storm systems
2008-03-22 23:41 < JasonBourne> im living here
2008-03-22 23:41 < Werdna> it adds a bit of water to the oceans
2008-03-22 23:41 < Werdna> and a bit of cold water
2008-03-22 23:41 < Werdna> that bit of cold water may disrupt ocean currents, which bring warm water north to chicago
2008-03-22 23:41 < Werdna> (for example)
2008-03-22 23:41 < Cyrius> you're not trying to understand, you're saying "it's cold where I am, thus global warming is crap"
2008-03-22 23:41 < Werdna> and so, yes, chicago might get colder because of global warming.
2008-03-22 23:41 < Soms> Cyrius: It rained today.
2008-03-22 23:41 < Soms> Global warming is crap.
2008-03-22 23:41 < Cyrius> Soms: obviously.
2008-03-22 23:41 < Soms> Ok, so it didnt rain today. But its still crap.
2008-03-22 23:41 < JasonBourne> err
2008-03-22 23:42 < Werdna> JasonBourne: if you put an ice cube in a glass of water, does the water get colder as the ice melts, or does it get warmer?
2008-03-22 23:42 < kenlyric> first the one, then t'other
2008-03-22 23:43 * Mike_H NP: All Saints - Never Ever (1998)
2008-03-22 23:43 < Werdna> or, to make it a bit more relevant, say the temperature is about 30 degrees, right?
2008-03-22 23:43 < Werdna> now, imagine you have an enormous pile of snow, and a heated pool
2008-03-22 23:43 < Cyrius> werdan7: given his comments, he's american, better make sure you're on the right temperature scale
2008-03-22 23:43 < Werdna> you pile up a big 3-meter pile of snow beside your heated pool.
2008-03-22 23:43 < Cyrius> gah
2008-03-22 23:44 < Werdna> now let's say the temperature goes up just a few degrees
2008-03-22 23:44 < Cyrius> it shouldn't be allowed to have the first 4 letters in common =O
2008-03-22 23:44 < Werdna> let's say, to 35 degreees
2008-03-22 23:44 < Werdna> what happens to the ice?
2008-03-22 23:45 < Cyrius> guess your question was too abstract or something
2008-03-22 23:45 < Werdna> hehe
2008-03-22 23:46 < Cyrius> anyone who says "it's cold here, global warming is bull" or "it's hot here, must be global warming" needs to be kicked in the head
2008-03-22 23:48 < Cyrius> probably won't be long before santa claus needs a boat
2008-03-22 23:49 < Cyrius> "No Virginia, there is no Santa Claus. He drowned when the Arctic polar ice cap melted."
2008-03-22 23:51 < jdas> Is there any way to access data on Wikipedia through an XML or other API?
2008-03-22 23:51 < Cyrius> jdas: there's an API, but I've heard questionable things about its reliability
2008-03-22 23:51 < Cyrius> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API
2008-03-22 23:52 < bumm13> obviously, he has a wormhole that links to the flagship Macy's store in NYC
2008-03-22 23:52 < jdas> Alright
2008-03-22 23:52 < Cyrius> bumm13: I was thinking he would go down with the workshop
2008-03-22 23:54 < jdas> An API beats the hell outta scraping...
2008-03-22 23:54 < jdas> Because I need to get some data
2008-03-22 23:54 < jdas> And I didn't want to scrape
2008-03-22 23:55 < jdas> But I couldn't find the API til now
2008-03-22 23:55 < mmap__> hmm, enom hired a public relations company to clean up their wikipedia page, looks like they've been doing a pretty good job
2008-03-22 23:56 < Manticore> blah
2008-03-22 23:58 < jdas> Hmm
2008-03-22 23:58 < jdas> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php?what=content&titles=Main%20Page
2008-03-22 23:58 < jdas> That's the older API
2008-03-22 23:58 < jdas> Access denied
2008-03-23 00:03 < NotACow> whee
