2008-04-02 13:40 < NotACow> wikia is massively understaffed, so that doesn't really surprise me.
2008-04-02 13:40 < Working_Cat> so, if someone is banned.. some IP lets say... can they view pages?
2008-04-02 13:41 < Working_Cat> as in is only editing disabled, or is viewing too?
2008-04-02 13:41 < Cyrius> can always view
2008-04-02 13:42 < Working_Cat> <obviously i have no intentions of finding out the hard way>
2008-04-02 13:42 < Working_Cat> oh ok
2008-04-02 13:48 < Demi> i've advocated for an option to block people from viewing pages
2008-04-02 13:51 < NotACow> there are a handful of IPs blocked from viewing pages, but such blocks are implemented by the dev team and at a lower level than the software
2008-04-02 13:51 < NotACow> it's done in the network layer, iirc
2008-04-02 14:01 * soufron hello
2008-04-02 14:01 < NotACow> moo
2008-04-02 14:01 < Working_Cat> meow
2008-04-02 14:04 < Messedrocker> mot
2008-04-02 14:05 < Bacta> Hey check this out guys ! http://tinyurl.com/3cmfdy
2008-04-02 14:06 < gwern> wow. to install the Ant build tool requires 42 dependencies to be installed on my system
2008-04-02 14:06 < Working_Cat> m not clicking that.
2008-04-02 14:06 < NotACow> gwern: heh
2008-04-02 14:06 < Messedrocker> neither am i
2008-04-02 14:06 < Messedrocker> until i know where it goes
2008-04-02 14:06 < Working_Cat> gwern: using Eclipse?
2008-04-02 14:06 < NotACow> gwern: my system is so far behind the curve now that *everything* depends on installing a new kernel.
2008-04-02 14:06 < Aqwis> still using 2.2?
2008-04-02 14:06 < NotACow> Aqwis: 2.4
2008-04-02 14:06 < Aqwis> right
2008-04-02 14:06 < NotACow> Linux ozma.pyrzqxgl.org 2.4.25 #1 Wed Apr 14 08:53:31 CDT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
2008-04-02 14:07 < gwern> Working_Cat: no, tracking down a freenet bug
2008-04-02 14:07 < Working_Cat> whats ozma.pyrzqxgl.org?
2008-04-02 14:07 < NotACow> Working_Cat: one of my linux boxes :)
2008-04-02 14:07 < gwern> NotACow: that is impressive. why's it so old?
2008-04-02 14:07 < NotACow> gwern: because it's not newer?
2008-04-02 14:08 < NotACow> gwern: it's not broke, so why fix it?
2008-04-02 14:08 < gwern> Working_Cat: Ozma is the queen of Oz
2008-04-02 14:08 < gwern> (or was it empress?)
2008-04-02 14:08 < NotACow> something like that
2008-04-02 14:08 < Rinn> I really want to click that link.
2008-04-02 14:08 < Working_Cat> and the other jumble?
2008-04-02 14:08 < gwern> NotACow: if you can't install stuff you'd like to have, it's broke
2008-04-02 14:08 < NotACow> we have machines named glinda, scarecrow, and oz as well
2008-04-02 14:08 < Working_Cat> Rinn: go ahead. and tell us what it is.
2008-04-02 14:08 < NotACow> gwern: yeah, that is getting to be an annoyance.
2008-04-02 14:08 < Leslie_S> at our meijer, which is open 24 hours a day, there are signs saying unauthorized vehicles will be towe
2008-04-02 14:08 < Rinn> But it might be something bad.
2008-04-02 14:08 < NotACow> gwern: i need to install the new kernel sometime
2008-04-02 14:08 < Working_Cat> Rinn: might?
2008-04-02 14:09 < Leslie_S> how the hell is that enforced?
2008-04-02 14:09 < Rinn> Well, it could just be goatse. I don't consider that bad anymore.
2008-04-02 14:09 < NotACow> Leslie_S: randomly
2008-04-02 14:09 < Leslie_S> NotACow do they keep records of all employee license plate numbers?
2008-04-02 14:09 < NotACow> Leslie_S: they just tow vehicles they don't like.
2008-04-02 14:10 < Working_Cat> Rinn: unless you are in public, click.
2008-04-02 14:10 < Rinn> But it might be something bad.
2008-04-02 14:10 < Working_Cat> also, its most likely some sort of roll.
2008-04-02 14:10 < gwern> NotACow: that shouldn't be hard... why distro are you using that makes it so painful you haven't upgraded the kernel in years?
2008-04-02 14:10 < gwern> Leslie_S: I expect it's something selectively enforced; one employee gets nervous, or some car annoys someone etc
2008-04-02 14:10 < Leslie_S> roll?
2008-04-02 14:10 < Working_Cat> rick/prince/chocolate
2008-04-02 14:10 < NotACow> gwern: it's not painful, really. i'm just lazy.
2008-04-02 14:11 < Leslie_S> gwern lots of distros have kernels that are several years old in their stable branch anyway..
2008-04-02 14:11 < Leslie_S> of course, hers was probably several years old several years ago when she installed it!
2008-04-02 14:11 < gwern> NotACow: I define laziness as 'deciding to spend more time discussing on IRC than would require to fix the problem'; do I think you're lazy?
2008-04-02 14:12 < NotACow> gwern: yes
2008-04-02 14:12 < Working_Cat> i got johannrolled the other day
2008-04-02 14:12 < NotACow> gwern: the time required to fix the problem is about 10 minutes.
2008-04-02 14:12 < NotACow> gwern: well, a bit longer if you actually count the time spent waiting of the kernel to actualyl build.
2008-04-02 14:12 < NotACow> gwern: ozma isn't a terribly fast computer
2008-04-02 14:12 * gwern thinks NotACow is lazy. you bum!
2008-04-02 14:12 < Working_Cat> ozma is slow... like its master.
2008-04-02 14:13 < Leslie_S> welll, back to the walmonster!
2008-04-02 14:13 < Leslie_S> and does walmart tow cars that they suspect are owned by employees of meijer who are comp shopping?
2008-04-02 14:13 < Messedrocker> Working_Cat, someone started playing Bach?
2008-04-02 14:13 < gwern> NotACow: build? what are you, using gentoo 'r'thing?
2008-04-02 14:13 < NotACow> gwern: i use debian, but i always build my own kernels.
2008-04-02 14:13 < NotACow> gwern: i don't like the stock kernels.
2008-04-02 14:14 < Working_Cat> Messedrocker: Pachelbel
2008-04-02 14:14 < Leslie_S> stock kernels universally suck..
2008-04-02 14:14 < NotACow> cannonize me!
2008-04-02 14:14 * gwern wonders how far done does the NotACow hole cow
2008-04-02 14:14 < Leslie_S> back to the walmonster
2008-04-02 14:14 < Leslie_S> :o
2008-04-02 14:14 < gwern> *go
2008-04-02 14:14 < gwern> dammit
2008-04-02 14:14 < Working_Cat> first thing i do with my kernel is to write my own disk scheduler
2008-04-02 14:14 < Leslie_S> yeah right
2008-04-02 14:15 < gwern> *how far down does the NotACow hole go
2008-04-02 14:15 < NotACow> hole?
2008-04-02 14:15 < Working_Cat> NotACow: thats from Alice
2008-04-02 14:15 < NotACow> Working_Cat: ah
2008-04-02 14:15 < Working_Cat> gwern is cocktailing universes
2008-04-02 14:16 < Working_Cat> NotACow: yeah, that one. the rabbithole. not the one you were thinking about.
2008-04-02 14:16 < NotACow> Working_Cat: you never know around here
2008-04-02 14:16 < Working_Cat> heh, i know
2008-04-02 14:16 < Working_Cat> some guy made the mistake of asking "can this convo get any more uncomfortable"
2008-04-02 14:17 < Working_Cat> i think you were there
2008-04-02 14:17 < Working_Cat> brb

2008-04-02 14:21 < Hrodulf> no
2008-04-02 14:21 < Hrodulf> I cheated
2008-04-02 14:21 < snowolf> joeblob: no, it's in Wales, isn't it?
2008-04-02 14:21 < Hrodulf> guess I lost
2008-04-02 14:22 < Hrodulf> but wikipedia always wins right guys
2008-04-02 14:22 < Hrodulf> its only the most awesome website ever
2008-04-02 14:22 < Hrodulf> except for that one that counts down how much time is left before you can go home from work
2008-04-02 14:22 < Hrodulf> sorry that always wins
2008-04-02 14:22 < Working_Cat> Hrodulf: that would be my updated-2-times-a-year blog.
2008-04-02 14:23 < Ceiling_Cat> Hello kids!
2008-04-02 14:23 < Working_Cat> too late
2008-04-02 14:23 * Ceiling_Cat waves from above
2008-04-02 14:23 * Working_Cat looks up
2008-04-02 14:23 < Working_Cat> dad-from-del is here
2008-04-02 14:23 < Hrodulf> anyway . . .
2008-04-02 14:23 < Hrodulf> I was banned for 2 weeks for putting a break on a page, and was wondering if there was anything I can do about it
2008-04-02 14:23 < Hrodulf> not about the ban
2008-04-02 14:23 < NotACow> Hrodulf: wait two weeks :)
2008-04-02 14:23 < Hrodulf> but I was wondering if someone else could remove the break
2008-04-02 14:24 < Hrodulf> because it was obviously a bad idea
2008-04-02 14:24 < Demi> it's nice to see we're getting serious about formatting
2008-04-02 14:24 < Hrodulf> I didn't know there was a rule on wikipedia against adding breaks to pages
2008-04-02 14:24 < Cyrius> I find it hard to believe you were banned for a line break that wasn't reverted
2008-04-02 14:24 < Hrodulf> if I added two breaks would it have been a month
2008-04-02 14:24 < Hrodulf> well Cyrius here's what happened
2008-04-02 14:24 < Aqwis> link me your user page?
2008-04-02 14:24 < Hrodulf> hold a sec
2008-04-02 14:24 < Aqwis> or "us" rather
2008-04-02 14:25 < NotACow> "Here's what happened" -- are you related to Adrian Monk?
2008-04-02 14:25 < Rinn> I like always being able to refer to myself in plural. That's the fun of IRC.
2008-04-02 14:25 < Hrodulf> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hrodulf
2008-04-02 14:25 < Hrodulf> no
2008-04-02 14:25 < Hrodulf> adrian monk is not a real person you silly
2008-04-02 14:25 < Hrodulf> you're silly
2008-04-02 14:25 < Hrodulf> anyway
2008-04-02 14:25 < Demi> i thought bitty schram was way hotter
2008-04-02 14:25 < Hrodulf> someone posted something, and I added a break to it
2008-04-02 14:25 < Hrodulf> then I thought I was banned because my compuyter was slow
2008-04-02 14:26 < Hrodulf> so I went to this admin and asked him why he banned me for adding a break
2008-04-02 14:26 < Hrodulf> then he banned me because he thought I was the other guy
2008-04-02 14:26 < Aqwis> it appears you were banned for sockpuppeting
2008-04-02 14:26 < Hrodulf> yeah the thing is that other account wasn't me
2008-04-02 14:26 < Hrodulf> all I did was add a break to the page serious
2008-04-02 14:26 < NotACow> Demi: i like natalie better, but yeah, schram is hotter.
2008-04-02 14:26 < Demi> sounds like the sort of thing a sockpuppet would say
2008-04-02 14:26 < Aqwis> Please go to the da help with life forum to discuss how after you blew your wikiload after banning me, ruining your wonder woman underoos. Maybe after that you can get off on banning more people, careful, if you blow your wikiload too many times, you won't be able to read your computer screen without wiping it off and using 409 to get rid of the wikiresidue.
2008-04-02 14:26 < Cyrius> you got banned from uncyclopedia.
2008-04-02 14:26 < Aqwis> mkay
2008-04-02 14:27 < Hrodulf> well I guess I can't prve it
2008-04-02 14:27 < Hrodulf> yeah I got banned form uncyc back in 0206
2008-04-02 14:27 < Hrodulf> if i've been banned more recently its news to me
2008-04-02 14:27 < Hrodulf> I got into an argument with an admin called Famine
2008-04-02 14:27 < Hrodulf> Any of yo uguys know him
2008-04-02 14:27 < Hrodulf> ?
2008-04-02 14:27 * Ceiling_Cat watches NotACow update her blog
2008-04-02 14:27 < Hrodulf> anyway he put me under special rules for calling people names
2008-04-02 14:27 < Hrodulf> but then called me a name
2008-04-02 14:27 < Cyrius> "I can't believe you fucking wikipedos. I'm going to be the first person in history to be murdered by pipe swinging niggers because retarded aspergers' infected wikipedos wouldn't stop sucking willy on wheels' dick long enough to delete the fucking pages I tell them to."
2008-04-02 14:28 < Hrodulf> so he was a hypocrite
2008-04-02 14:28 < Rinn> Is he related to Pestilence or Plague?
2008-04-02 14:28 < Cyrius> fuck off.
2008-04-02 14:28 < Aqwis> !op troll
2008-04-02 14:28 < Hrodulf> oh yo udon
2008-04-02 14:28 < Hrodulf> 't want to hear my story
2008-04-02 14:28 < Hrodulf> is it not notable
2008-04-02 14:28 < snowolf> Aqwis: there is a op here, Mr. Cyrius is an op I believe
2008-04-02 14:28 < Aqwis> ah
2008-04-02 14:28 < Hrodulf> I didn't know that apoplied to the irc
2008-04-02 14:28 < Hrodulf> as well as the website
2008-04-02 14:28 < Hrodulf> can I add breaks here<br>
2008-04-02 14:28 < Cyrius> I told him to fuck off, I suspect I might be considered somehow biased
2008-04-02 14:28 < Hrodulf> because it is good wiki formatting<br>
2008-04-02 14:28 < MZMcBride> Everyone, please behave.
2008-04-02 14:29 < Have> I have been Have!
2008-04-02 14:29 < Hrodulf> '''ok''' I can behave and use ''[[perfection|perfect]]'' [[syntax|wikiformatting]]<br>
2008-04-02 14:29 < Ceiling_Cat> Perfect wiki syntex does not require html tags :P
2008-04-02 14:30 < Ceiling_Cat> syntax, even
2008-04-02 14:30 * Ashfire908 notes without taking any position/side/whatever that instead of <br> you just use a new line
2008-04-02 14:30 * Ceiling_Cat kicks Ashfire908 for being redundant
2008-04-02 14:30 * snowolf notes that <br /> is better then <br>
2008-04-02 14:30 < uberpenguin> only to the pedantic
2008-04-02 14:31 < Hrodulf> Ceiling_cat <nowkik><br></nowiki> is [[Hrodulf|awesome]] and the best thing about wikipedia<br>

2008-04-02 14:32 < Hrodulf> derailed as it were

2008-04-02 14:33 < Hrodulf> I'd make a page called famine's house, with a picture of a glass house
2008-04-02 14:33 < Working_Cat> Rinn: as in Rinns? (rinse?)
2008-04-02 14:33 < Hrodulf> he got mad, vandalized a subpage to my userpage, protected it, and it was a link to his userpage
2008-04-02 14:33 < Hrodulf> Then I got mad and said he moved in to early and made up a story about it
2008-04-02 14:33 < Hrodulf> it is the funniest article on uncyclopedia actually
2008-04-02 14:33 < Hrodulf> just a second

2008-04-02 14:34 < Thehelpfulone2> it really would
2008-04-02 14:34 < Hrodulf> just a sec
2008-04-02 14:34 < Thehelpfulone2> or maybe someone that was really civil, calm, and took everything seriously? o.o
2008-04-02 14:34 < NotACow> Working_Cat: people who think they're funny, but aren't.
2008-04-02 14:35 * Working_Cat suddenly becomes all conscious...
2008-04-02 14:35 < Rinn> NotACow: Aren't those the prime members?
2008-04-02 14:35 < Working_Cat> NotACow: i have NEVER been banned from uncyc okay. get off my case. NOW.
2008-04-02 14:35 < Hrodulf> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/User:Hrodulf/Famine_won%27t_leave_my_house%21

2008-04-02 14:40 < NotACow> Hrodulf: ok, dude, here's a clue
2008-04-02 14:40 < NotACow> NOTHING on 4chan is actually funny
2008-04-02 14:40 < NotACow> mean, yes

2008-04-02 14:40 * NotACow hits Aqwis on the head with a stick
2008-04-02 14:40 < Hrodulf> ./b/ is garbage
2008-04-02 14:40 < Aqwis> possibly because of the lacking creative ability and sense of humour of internetians
2008-04-02 14:40 < Hrodulf> basically 30 million pedos looking for boy cp
2008-04-02 14:41 < Hrodulf> that's pretty much what it is

2008-04-02 14:45 * NotACow snorts
2008-04-02 14:45 < Hrodulf> becuase I looked it up in the manual and I didn't say anthing about it
2008-04-02 14:45 < NotACow> it's means that you've been trolled.
2008-04-02 14:45 < Hrodulf> what is trolled
2008-04-02 14:45 < Rinn> Now you're stretching it. The <br> thing was good.
2008-04-02 14:45 < Aqwis> it's six days since your last post, notacow ;|
2008-04-02 14:45 < Hrodulf> and I don't believe you guys don't care
2008-04-02 14:45 < Hrodulf> that I added a break went aheshit and got bannd for it
2008-04-02 14:46 < Aqwis> *it's been
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> and i am havving seriuos problems with the internet
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> that's how this all started
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> time for another stoyr
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> I was on this website
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> some forum
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> and this guy got mad
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> and said he was going to rape my mom
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> and kill my kids (don't have any)
2008-04-02 14:46 < Hrodulf> so I freak out
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> and want to delete my talk page
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> because I think he could have used it to find me
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> so you guys wouldn't do it
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> and that's what made me lose it
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> and post that stuff
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> because I was seriously freaking out
2008-04-02 14:47 < snowolf> hiya Gast-neu
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> my doctor told me I was just being paranoid
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> and I actually made up wit hthe guy who said that
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> so I think I'm ok
2008-04-02 14:47 < Hrodulf> but you people are kind of harsh, do you know that?
2008-04-02 14:48 * snowolf loves people speaking to theirselves :P
2008-04-02 14:48 < Rinn> Hrodulf --> Furl Hod
2008-04-02 14:48 < Borbus> Hrodulf: you should not listen to 12 year old idiots on the internet ;)
2008-04-02 14:48 < Hrodulf> Borbus : you're right but it was so scary
2008-04-02 14:49 < Hrodulf> did any of you read my article
2008-04-02 14:49 < Hrodulf> about famine
2008-04-02 14:49 < Hrodulf> guess not
2008-04-02 14:50 < Hrodulf> you guys sould srs read it
2008-04-02 14:50 < Hrodulf> it's good for you
2008-04-02 14:50 < Hrodulf> it will make you smarter
2008-04-02 14:50 < Hrodulf> it is better than reading the bible
2008-04-02 14:50 < Hrodulf> that's how good it is
2008-04-02 14:51 < Hrodulf> but anyway
2008-04-02 14:51 < Hrodulf> you guys shouldn't be banning people for 2 weeks
2008-04-02 14:51 < Hrodulf> who were just trying to protect their family
2008-04-02 14:51 < Hrodulf> but I guess that's not important to you guys
2008-04-02 14:51 < Aqwis> that's right
2008-04-02 14:52 < Hrodulf> Yeah, some wikipedia rule about deletions that's more complex than the nyc subway system matters more than the risk that someone might be killed
2008-04-02 14:52 < Hrodulf> nice
2008-04-02 14:52 < Aqwis> indeed
2008-04-02 14:52 < Hrodulf> you people are sick
2008-04-02 14:52 * The359 kills Hrodulf and gets it over with
2008-04-02 14:52 < Hrodulf> do you have dreams of editing at night
2008-04-02 14:52 < Hrodulf> come one admit you do
2008-04-02 14:52 < The359> says the paranoid
2008-04-02 14:52 < Hrodulf> dreaming about wikipedia
2008-04-02 14:52 < Hrodulf> I'm actually not diagnosed paranoid
2008-04-02 14:53 < Hrodulf> I was just exhibiting symptsom
2008-04-02 14:53 < Messedrocker> i've had multiple dreams about wikipedia
2008-04-02 14:53 < Messedrocker> in fact i dreamt i met mbimmler
2008-04-02 14:53 < snowolf> LOL
2008-04-02 14:53 < The359> <Hrodulf> my doctor told me I was just being paranoid
2008-04-02 14:53 < Hrodulf> and the369 just because you typed you killd me doesn't mean you did it aspie
2008-04-02 14:53 < The359> That would be a diagnosis...
2008-04-02 14:53 < Mbimmler> Messedrocker: how....interesting
2008-04-02 14:53 < Hrodulf> The359 It's not a diagnosis of the disease
2008-04-02 14:53 < Hrodulf> just characteristic behavior
2008-04-02 14:53 < NotACow> i dreamt last night about a theory that buses whose numbers matched those of oven models were inherently more attractive to the mentally disabled.
2008-04-02 14:53 < Hrodulf> paranoid schizophrenia is totally a different thing than just being paranoid
2008-04-02 14:54 < Rinn> I dreamt about #wikipedia once.
2008-04-02 14:54 < snowolf> NotACow: lol
2008-04-02 14:54 < Hrodulf> any way you are deraling the chat
2008-04-02 14:54 < Hrodulf> I want to talk about something else
2008-04-02 14:54 < Hrodulf> about how you think wikipedia rules
2008-04-02 14:54 < Rinn> Althought it wasn't about #wikipedia really. I had IRC on my watch.
2008-04-02 14:54 < Hrodulf> matter more than human life
2008-04-02 14:54 < Rinn> -t
2008-04-02 14:54 < Hrodulf> ????
2008-04-02 14:54 < Rinn> You were talking about eyeliner or something.
2008-04-02 14:54 < Messedrocker> wikipedia is definitely subordinate to human life
2008-04-02 14:54 < NotACow> snowolf: weird, eh?
2008-04-02 14:54 < Hrodulf> But messedrocker, when I tried to delete my talk page
2008-04-02 14:55 * Pilotguy_aw sets Hrodulf on fire
2008-04-02 14:55 < Hrodulf> because someone threatened my family and I thought they could use the talk page to find who I was
2008-04-02 14:55 < Hrodulf> I was told some wikipedia rule prevented it
2008-04-02 14:55 < Hrodulf> so wtf
2008-04-02 14:55 < Hrodulf> you guys all suck
2008-04-02 14:55 < snowolf> ...
2008-04-02 14:55 < NotACow> what do you want sucked, Hrodulf?
2008-04-02 14:55 < Rinn> Aww.
2008-04-02 14:55 < The359> that took long enough
2008-04-02 14:55 < NotACow> ah, poo
2008-04-02 14:55 < Rinn> I was enjoying him.
2008-04-02 14:56 < Pilotguy_aw> [[WP:DFTT]]
2008-04-02 14:56 < Fou-Lu> NotACow: That's nasty and immature
2008-04-02 14:56 < NotACow> Fou-Lu: thank you
2008-04-02 14:56 < Messedrocker> Hrodulf, that's not true
2008-04-02 14:56 < Messedrocker> talk pages have definitely been deleted to keep stalkers away from personal information
2008-04-02 14:56 < Messedrocker> i know i've personally carried out one such deletion
2008-04-02 14:58 < Fou-Lu> you guys disgust me, he was trying to resolve a ban
2008-04-02 14:58 < Fou-Lu> and you ignore him

2008-04-02 14:59 < NotASpy> Fou-Lu: hey, it's not all bad. We've plenty more mocking in the jar yet. You can have some if you want.
2008-04-02 14:59 < Rinn> Yeah! What's up with that?
2008-04-02 14:59 < Pilotguy> ...
2008-04-02 14:59 < Fou-Lu> NotASpy: Shut up, pig
2008-04-02 15:00 < The359> Is today a school holiday?

2008-04-02 15:02 < Rinn> Is "assburger syndrome" still funny?
2008-04-02 15:02 < Messedrocker> nah just lame
2008-04-02 15:02 < TheWeasel> That teaches us that WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A HOVERCRAFT
2008-04-02 15:03 < TheWeasel> bouncy, bouncy.
2008-04-02 15:05 < Rinn> Technically everything TheWeasel says has to be weasel words.
2008-04-02 15:05 < TheWeasel> Do you make an exception in my case then?
2008-04-02 15:06 < TheWeasel> or am I banned from WP
2008-04-02 15:06 < TheWeasel> because I cannot but use weasel words
2008-04-02 15:06 < Rinn> Ban him!

2008-04-02 15:19 < Working_Cat> denelson83: i know. its one of the rare times i remembered correctly.
2008-04-02 15:20 < denelson83> It was because I was bored
2008-04-02 15:25 < Working_Cat> well you dont need to explain. its okay. really.
2008-04-02 15:28 < The359> 20 Questions is Forbidden!
2008-04-02 15:29 < fruitbag> Hey, guys
2008-04-02 15:29 < denelson83> The359: Quiet you!
2008-04-02 15:30 < fruitbag> What is the stye of cartooning used by those Saturday morning cartoons
2008-04-02 15:30 < fruitbag> What kind of cartoon style was that
2008-04-02 15:30 < fruitbag> Cartoons like He-Man and Conan The Adventurer.
2008-04-02 15:31 < The359> They're cartoons
2008-04-02 15:31 < The359> that's the style
2008-04-02 15:31 < denelson83> fruitbag: John Doe style?
2008-04-02 15:32 < fruitbag> Sure, The359... but it is a specific kind of style.
2008-04-02 15:32 < fruitbag> I mean, you have Manga on one hand
2008-04-02 15:32 < fruitbag> What kind of Cartooning is He-Man?
2008-04-02 15:32 < Working_Cat> fruitbag: chauvinist.
2008-04-02 15:32 < fruitbag> It was popular in the 1980s and earlly 1990s
2008-04-02 15:33 * Working_Cat wonders what is it with people coming in all afternoon today and going on monolouges and rants... about trivial things no less...
2008-04-02 15:34 < The359> its just a cartoon
2008-04-02 15:34 < The359> if it isn't in the [[cartoon]] article
2008-04-02 15:34 < The359> then there is no style
2008-04-02 15:34 < fruitbag> Sure, but what is the style, man?
2008-04-02 15:34 < mavhc> cheap
2008-04-02 15:34 < fruitbag> There isn't just one type of cartooning style.
2008-04-02 15:35 < fruitbag> I really like the drawing style of Saturday morning cartoons
2008-04-02 15:35 < mavhc> first get us a list of cartoon styles
2008-04-02 15:35 < fruitbag> ...like He-Man and such
2008-04-02 15:35 < fruitbag> mavhc: well, the most prominent being Manga.
2008-04-02 15:35 < The359> well first you assume all Saturday cartoons were the same
2008-04-02 15:35 < fruitbag> The359: well, their drawing styles were the same
2008-04-02 15:35 < The359> have you read [[cartoon]]?
2008-04-02 15:35 < mavhc> cheap 80s style
2008-04-02 15:35 < fruitbag> Why was it cheap?
2008-04-02 15:36 < fruitbag> I had great memories with these cartoons
2008-04-02 15:36 < The359> Saturday morning cartoon is the colloquial term for the animated television programming which was typically scheduled on Saturday mornings on the major American television networks from the 1960s to the 1990s. This genre is often referred to by its critics as "illustrated radio" (a term coined by Chuck Jones), because of its focus on voice performances, music, and sound effects over animation and visual quality.
2008-04-02 15:37 < The359> First line of [[Saturday morning cartoon]]
2008-04-02 15:37 < The359> Due to lower budgets, Saturday morning cartoons are often produced with a minimum amount of animation drawings, sometimes no more than 3 or 4 per second. In addition, the movements of the characters are often repeated, very limited, or even confined to mouths and eyes only.
2008-04-02 15:38 < fruitbag> That's interesting, The359.
2008-04-02 15:38 < fruitbag> But they were good cartoons.
2008-04-02 15:38 < fruitbag> I have great childhood memories
2008-04-02 15:38 < fruitbag> I remember that bear one.
2008-04-02 15:38 < fruitbag> ...you know, those bears
2008-04-02 15:38 < fruitbag> When I was about 4
2008-04-02 15:39 < fruitbag> The bears with a heart on their chest
2008-04-02 15:39 < The359> those were dolls that became cartoon
2008-04-02 15:39 < The359> s
2008-04-02 15:40 < zvook> i think that was called Empathic Bears
2008-04-02 15:40 < fruitbag> What was their name?
2008-04-02 15:40 < fruitbag> I loved that cartoon
2008-04-02 15:40 < fruitbag> There's something about Saturday Morning cartoons that I find nostagic.
2008-04-02 15:41 < Ceiling_Cat> MOAR KATZ!
2008-04-02 15:44 < fruitbag> I'm really searching for DVDs
2008-04-02 15:44 < Working_Cat> meow
2008-04-02 15:45 < fruitbag> Guys, I wish there was a channel that showed old Saturday Morning cartoons.
2008-04-02 15:45 < The359> we're not a DVD store
2008-04-02 15:45 < fruitbag> Exclusively

2008-04-02 15:45 < The359> Boomerang
2008-04-02 15:45 < fruitbag> Boomerang never showed He-man
2008-04-02 15:45 < Working_Cat> fruitbag: whats with you and nostalgia and exclusive content channels
2008-04-02 15:45 < fruitbag> ;w
2008-04-02 15:45 < fruitbag> Working_Cat: cartoons are no longer made with passion
2008-04-02 15:45 < fruitbag> Camputer animation isn't the same as manual animation
2008-04-02 15:46 < fruitbag> Computer *
2008-04-02 15:46 * Working_Cat rolls his eyes... nevermind i even asked.
2008-04-02 15:46 < The359> moving swiftly on
2008-04-02 15:47 * NotACow wonders what the hell jimmy wales is doing trying to negotiate world peace
2008-04-02 15:47 < NotACow> http://www.tradearabia.com/news/BANK_140855.html
2008-04-02 15:47 < snowolf> is he?
2008-04-02 15:47 < Scott5114> heh, he should try for peace on Wikipedia first. :P
2008-04-02 15:49 < fruitbag> Ah, man
2008-04-02 15:49 < fruitbag> There are so many series shows coming up to the point where most suck
2008-04-02 15:49 < fruitbag> Who agrees with me?
2008-04-02 15:49 < fruitbag> Most of them are just getting lame.
2008-04-02 15:54 < Working_Cat> NotACow: hes trying to negotiate world peace.
2008-04-02 15:54 < kingturtle> gmorning
2008-04-02 15:54 < Working_Cat> else, its about time some alien race nominated earth as PSD.
2008-04-02 15:54 < Working_Cat> [[UP:PSD]]
2008-04-02 16:04 < TheWeasel> Barack Obama = Quarters and Dimes We Can Believe In
2008-04-02 16:04 < TheWeasel> and other types of change, of course
2008-04-02 16:05 < Messedrocker> holy crap theweasel knows what our metal money is called
2008-04-02 16:05 < TheWeasel> it's not socket science
2008-04-02 16:06 < Rinn> I decided awhile ago that if I ever wrote an essay on Barack Obama I would title it "Pocket Change."
2008-04-02 16:06 < Rinn> But I'm very unlikely to ever write an essay on Barack Obama.
2008-04-02 16:07 < Rinn> Life is full of disappointments. :(
2008-04-02 16:11 < TheWeasel> "Section I argues that because the Devil exists and has the power to do astounding things, witches exist..."
2008-04-02 16:12 < TheWeasel> that is some excellent concludin' right there
2008-04-02 16:12 < Working_Cat> lol
2008-04-02 16:13 < TheWeasel> Would one really want to read Section II?
2008-04-02 16:13 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-04-02 16:14 * TheWeasel 's computer has three queens in a comp-comp game
2008-04-02 16:14 < TheWeasel> a total of four queens are on the board
2008-04-02 16:25 < kingturtle> what is this called, a room or a channel?
2008-04-02 16:25 < denelson83> channel
2008-04-02 16:25 < MZMcBride> Both.

2008-04-02 16:27 < kingturtle> ha
2008-04-02 16:27 < TheWeasel> room, unless you want to be like everyone else
2008-04-02 16:32 < kingturtle> strange. can anyone access http://www.answer.com/ ?
2008-04-02 16:32 < sorryitwasme> isn't it answers.com?
2008-04-02 16:32 < snowolf> kingturtle: doesn't reply to a ping :(
2008-04-02 16:32 < Messedrocker> isn't it ans-- what he said
2008-04-02 16:32 < kingturtle> ah. interesting. it is answers.com
2008-04-02 16:32 < kingturtle> you'd think they'd buy answer.com and redirect it
2008-04-02 16:33 < sorryitwasme> answer.com is still for sale by the looks of it
2008-04-02 16:33 < NotASpy> don't give the board anymore madcap ideas
2008-04-02 16:37 < fruitbag> Hey, guys
2008-04-02 16:37 < fruitbag> How do CD-ROM drives locate file on CDs?
2008-04-02 16:37 < fruitbag> How does it work?
2008-04-02 16:38 < sorryitwasme> apparently there's a little man inside the drives
2008-04-02 16:38 < gwern> fruitbag: be more specific, how do you mean how does it work? how is the data physically laid out, how is the data arranged on the circiles, or what?
2008-04-02 16:39 < sorryitwasme> he reads the tiny post-its
2008-04-02 16:39 < kingturtle> is that little man the son of the little man who makes the radio talk?
2008-04-02 16:40 < Hello32020> what does subdisfactory mean
2008-04-02 16:40 < Working_Cat> everyone else got the notice?
2008-04-02 16:40 < Monobi2> Er
2008-04-02 16:40 < Monobi2> Working_Cat: I did
2008-04-02 16:41 < Working_Cat> Hi all! I'm about to do a teeny bit of re-routing, it shouldn't be too messy -- affected users should be around 7K
2008-04-02 16:42 < kingturtle> working cat. a little more than 2 seconds notice would have been nice :)
2008-04-02 16:42 < sorryitwasme> so we're the survivors?
2008-04-02 16:42 < sorryitwasme> at what point can we begin to eat each other?
2008-04-02 16:42 < Demi> i'v already started drinking urine
2008-04-02 16:43 < kingturtle> hey, that's my urine
2008-04-02 16:43 < kingturtle> hands off
2008-04-02 16:43 < kingturtle> so did working cat's re-route serve a purpose, or was it just a dumb trick?
2008-04-02 16:44 < Cream> no no no
2008-04-02 16:44 < Cream> i blame you Starnestommy
2008-04-02 16:44 < kingturtle> oh boy, you all missed the fun
2008-04-02 16:44 < Demi> i think we were split, actually, kingturtle
2008-04-02 16:44 < Demi> as a precaution we should continue drinking urine, though
2008-04-02 16:45 < sorryitwasme> i've acquired a taste for it now
2008-04-02 16:45 < kingturtle> commence urine drinking
2008-04-02 16:46 < Working_Cat> kingturtle: the users went from 250ish to 208.. and back to 237
2008-04-02 16:46 < Working_Cat> and to them, we disappeared and came back.
2008-04-02 16:47 < Working_Cat> which imo is totally cool.
2008-04-02 16:48 < sorryitwasme> i bet we could drink more urine than your lot, even if you have more guys
2008-04-02 16:49 < christel> Starnestommy: :(
2008-04-02 16:49 < gwern> if we were chinese, drinking urine could be culturally acceptable
2008-04-02 16:50 < Messedrocker> that's not racist or anything
2008-04-02 16:52 < gwern> Messedrocker: it isn't.
2008-04-02 16:52 < gwern> 'While some urine drinkers use it only as an occasional tonic -- to correct temporary imbalances or diseases -- there are actually many others who down a glassful of urine every day as part of their daily health regimin. Just how wide spread is this practice? Hard figures for most nations are, understandably not available. However, in June 2001, Chinese news feeds reported that more than 3 million Chinese drink their own urine to stay ...
2008-04-02 16:52 < gwern> ... healthier. That's 3 million cups of pee a day, every day -- just in mainland China alone. If you can figure out how many gallons that is, you win a prize. (No, not really.) '

2008-04-02 16:53 < gwern> (just the facts, ma'am.)
2008-04-02 16:57 < Cream> hmm
2008-04-02 16:57 < Cream> i think the vandals are on the rise
2008-04-02 16:58 < Demi> what is that: http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/04/02/
2008-04-02 16:58 < Demi> (the picture i mean)
2008-04-02 16:59 < kingturtle> what is a "main namespace pages" as opposed to a "namespace page"?
2008-04-02 17:00 < sorryitwasme> Demi: "an anguished man dressed as a female hedgehog", apparently
2008-04-02 17:00 < kingturtle> a female hedgehog
2008-04-02 17:00 < Falc> Hedgehogs are awesome.
