2008-04-02 21:28 < Gracenotes> sex change operation >.> never mind :P
2008-04-02 21:28 < Cyrius> Schrodinger_Cat: oh, sorry, wasn't paying attention
2008-04-02 21:28 < Gently_preborn> say gwern why were the martian robots so underpowered anyway?
2008-04-02 21:28 < Luna-San> A nice, vague edit summary: Replaced content with 'i luv gurls and there areas'
2008-04-02 21:28 < Gently_preborn> they seem to be so primitive
2008-04-02 21:28 < Gracenotes> Lucifer_Cat: that's okay, I don't covet your nuzzleland... ...
2008-04-02 21:28 < Cyrius> Luna-San: I think that's a quite specific edit summary
2008-04-02 21:28 < Schrodinger_Cat> Gently_preborn: Power == weight. You have to skimp on power to make your weight requirements.
2008-04-02 21:28 < Lucifer_Cat> whats SCO?
2008-04-02 21:28 < Gently_preborn> ah!
2008-04-02 21:29 < Luna-San> "Areas" isn't very specific.
2008-04-02 21:29 < Lucifer_Cat> ok got it
2008-04-02 21:29 < Cyrius> Gently_preborn: space stuff generally gets built on old, proven, and radiation-hardened technology
2008-04-02 21:29 < Gently_preborn> weren't Spirit and Opportunity supposed to last only 90 days?
2008-04-02 21:29 < Lucifer_Cat> well Gracenotes dont worry, i'll find you a female kitten
2008-04-02 21:29 < Luna-San> Maybe they just like areas where girls congregate.
2008-04-02 21:29 < Gently_preborn> and didn't they last over 4 years instead?
2008-04-02 21:29 < Schrodinger_Cat> Cyrius: Yeah, that too. The latest Intel chip to be radiation hardened was the 386.
2008-04-02 21:29 < Schrodinger_Cat> Gently_preborn: Indeed. A testament to NASA engineering.
2008-04-02 21:29 < Cyrius> and the time between them specifying the hardware and the rovers landing on mars was several years
2008-04-02 21:29 < gwern> Gently_preborn: reliability is incredibly important for space operations
2008-04-02 21:29 < Gently_preborn> Cyrius, "old and proven technology" is actually nintendo's business practice
2008-04-02 21:30 < Gracenotes> Lucifer_Cat: thanks but no thanks :)
2008-04-02 21:30 < Gently_preborn> and it explains why their consoles work after over a decade
2008-04-02 21:30 < gwern> goes to show how well-designed they were
2008-04-02 21:30 < Cyrius> true fact: the original mars rover proposal was steam-powered and made of cast iron
2008-04-02 21:30 < Lucifer_Cat> iirc, the MIR station outlasted by a lot too right?
2008-04-02 21:31 < Gently_preborn> Cyrius, wouldn't that be extremely heavy?
2008-04-02 21:31 < Cyrius> most of Mir was still reasonably servicable when they dumped it in the ocean
2008-04-02 21:31 < NotACow> WHEEEE!
2008-04-02 21:31 < Cyrius> Gently_preborn: obviously I wasn't over the top enough
2008-04-02 21:31 < NotACow> it's gibson time!
2008-04-02 21:31 < Schrodinger_Cat> Gently_preborn: Like gwern and Cyrius are saying, there's lots of technology used on Earth that can't be used in interplanetary space. For example, DRAM is nearly worthless out there, because cosmic rays can modify the tiny capacitors that its made out of, which corrupts memory...
2008-04-02 21:31 < Cyrius> (most, but not all)
2008-04-02 21:31 < gwern> Gently_preborn: so? my genesis still works
2008-04-02 21:31 < Cyrius> Mir was destroyed because of politics related to the ISS
2008-04-02 21:31 < Gently_preborn> gwern, then sega probably has a similar practice
2008-04-02 21:31 < Cyrius> useless piece of crap it is
2008-04-02 21:32 < Schrodinger_Cat> Gently_preborn: So either you use extremely expensive SRAM, or use slow Flash memory
2008-04-02 21:32 < gwern> as do many of the classic consoles; arcade machines have even better track records than nintendo shit
2008-04-02 21:32 < Gently_preborn> YOU DO NOT CALL NINTENDO "SHIT"
2008-04-02 21:32 < gwern> nintendoe is not the best hardware company out there...
2008-04-02 21:32 < Lucifer_Cat> NotACow: mel?
2008-04-02 21:32 < Gently_preborn> well of course not
2008-04-02 21:32 < NotACow> people don't really appreciate how much radiation there is in space
2008-04-02 21:32 < Schrodinger_Cat> Gently_preborn: Nonsense. The Sega Genesis was a waaaayyy better console than the SNES.
2008-04-02 21:32 < Gently_preborn> then again they're not a hardware company
2008-04-02 21:32 < NotACow> Lucifer_Cat: a gibson is a martini with an onion as garnish
2008-04-02 21:32 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: True. We tend to take the magnetosphere for granted.
2008-04-02 21:32 < gwern> just because the wii has caught on, people are retroactively remembering all the other stuff as genius
2008-04-02 21:33 < Lucifer_Cat> wtf does one do with an onion garnish
2008-04-02 21:33 * NotACow checks on the solar weather forecast
2008-04-02 21:33 < Gently_preborn> gwern, I have yet to hear people say "THE GAMECUBE WAS FUCKING AWESOME"
2008-04-02 21:33 < gwern> the N64 controller? SHIT
2008-04-02 21:33 < Gently_preborn> hard fact: it wasn't at all
2008-04-02 21:33 < gwern> virtual boy? SHIT
2008-04-02 21:33 < gwern> R.O.B.? SHIT
2008-04-02 21:33 < Gently_preborn> R.O.B. wasn't supposed to be good
2008-04-02 21:33 < Schrodinger_Cat> gwern: Well, the other stuff was kinda genius. Remember, it was the N64 which introduced analog sticks to the console scene.
2008-04-02 21:33 < Gently_preborn> it was supposed to be a trojan horse
2008-04-02 21:33 < NotACow> hm. 2 MeV electron flux is above 1000pfu again
2008-04-02 21:33 < enok|walker> hey gang
2008-04-02 21:33 < Lucifer_Cat> its like saying "we'll get drunk and horny, but just as a precuation that we dont have drunk sex, we'll eat onions."
2008-04-02 21:33 < NotACow> hit 22900 pfu yesterday
2008-04-02 21:33 < gwern> the NES was mediocre, hardware wise. you ever compare that horrid NES controller with contemporaries?
2008-04-02 21:33 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: pfu?
2008-04-02 21:34 < Schrodinger_Cat> gwern: Yeah. The NES controller was the exact opposite of ergonomic.
2008-04-02 21:34 < gwern> Gently_preborn: there you go. the gamecube was underpowered, and the controller was *still* shit
2008-04-02 21:34 < enok|walker> The N64 was awful it had like 10 good games :/
2008-04-02 21:34 < Gently_preborn> hey, i like the gcn controller
2008-04-02 21:34 < NotACow> Schrodinger_Cat: "particle flux units"
2008-04-02 21:34 < Gently_preborn> but yeah
2008-04-02 21:34 < Schrodinger_Cat> enok|walker: But the 10 good games made up for all the other shit.
2008-04-02 21:34 < gwern> Schrodinger_Cat: yes, a pity the rest of the n64 controller scheme was the WORK OF INSANITY
2008-04-02 21:34 < Gently_preborn> the gamecube was bunk. i am glad i didn't get it
2008-04-02 21:34 < gwern> I mean, I wtf evertime I play a n64 with its weirdo controller
2008-04-02 21:35 * Lucifer_Cat will brb... out johannrolling someone
2008-04-02 21:35 < Leslie_S> hmm. [[Wikipedia:Deny recognition]] ...we dont have catalogs about notorious vandals like wow anymore?
2008-04-02 21:35 < Schrodinger_Cat> gwern: Yeah, no kidding. Especially with the placement of the D-pad
2008-04-02 21:35 < enok|walker> why are n64 games so dark, or is that just my tv :/
2008-04-02 21:35 < Cyrius> the shoulder buttons on my SNES broke off their pivots
2008-04-02 21:35 < gwern> BASIC may've crippled the minds of America's youth, but the NES controller took care of their hands
2008-04-02 21:35 < NotACow> significant chance of elevated hgih-latitude geomagnetic activity
2008-04-02 21:35 < Schrodinger_Cat> enok|walker: Just your TV, I think.
2008-04-02 21:35 < bumm13> :<
2008-04-02 21:35 < Gently_preborn> i concur
2008-04-02 21:35 < gwern> face it, with the exception of the wii (and for non-casual games, I think the jury's out), Nintendo has had terrible hardware design, and even more terrible controller design
2008-04-02 21:35 < Gently_preborn> N64 games are usually bright and polygony
2008-04-02 21:36 < NotACow> overall, pretty quiet on the solar front.
2008-04-02 21:36 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: Good chance of aurorae, you said?
2008-04-02 21:36 < NotACow> Schrodinger_Cat: auroral activity is 5 (moderate)
2008-04-02 21:36 < Schrodinger_Cat> gwern: Not necessarily "terrible". Quirky, certainly...
2008-04-02 21:36 < enok|walker> unfortunately my tv is crap it has no external buttons to change the brightness and my remote is gone
2008-04-02 21:36 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: how often do you get to see those?
2008-04-02 21:36 < Gently_preborn> gwern, you know what controller is terrible? the wii classic controller
2008-04-02 21:36 < gwern> Microsoft and Sony have done us huge favors; the PS controller was usable; the Dreamcast got picked up by MS and turned into the Xbox controller; I think they pioneered rumble and wireless, and so on
2008-04-02 21:37 < Schrodinger_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: Only when solar activity is high. I don't think aurorae come down into the contiguous 48 states unless there's a fair bit of solar activity.
2008-04-02 21:37 < gwern> Schrodinger_Cat: controller design is an objective thing. this isn't subjective. the humand hand is a fixed universal, either a controller works well with a hand, or it doesn't
2008-04-02 21:37 < enok|walker> rumble was lame
2008-04-02 21:37 < Gently_preborn> rumble was first popularized with star fox 64
2008-04-02 21:38 < Schrodinger_Cat> gwern: I guess so. I still have a soft spot for the N64 controller though, just because of the analog stick. I do agree that the rest of the controller was crap, though.
2008-04-02 21:38 < Lucifer_Cat> Schrodinger_Cat: hmmm
2008-04-02 21:38 < Gently_preborn> yeah, the controller had a terrible design
2008-04-02 21:38 < Lucifer_Cat> err... i mean quanticle: hmmm
2008-04-02 21:38 < Gently_preborn> how about this: instead of the d-pad, put the analog stick there
2008-04-02 21:38 < Gently_preborn> and get rid of that center dildo thing
2008-04-02 21:38 < NotACow> Schrodinger_Cat: typically the aurora activity number needs to be 9 or 10 to be visible in the contiguous 48
2008-04-02 21:39 < Leslie_S> how often is the aurora activity at 9 or 10?
2008-04-02 21:39 < NotACow> Leslie_S: rarely
2008-04-02 21:39 < Schrodinger_Cat> Gently_preborn: Well, that's exactly what a lot of the third party controllers do.
2008-04-02 21:39 < NotACow> although it was there on the 28th
2008-04-02 21:39 < Enterprise_Cat> Leslie_S: When the sky starts falling
2008-04-02 21:39 < Leslie_S> NotACow ooh, would i have seen it from here?
2008-04-02 21:39 < NotACow> Leslie_S: possibly, if you had had clear skies
2008-04-02 21:39 < NotACow> ooh
2008-04-02 21:39 < NotACow> some flare activity
2008-04-02 21:40 < gwern> the analog controller wasn'
2008-04-02 21:40 < gwern> t even very analog
2008-04-02 21:40 < Ceiling_Cat> LOFL
2008-04-02 21:40 < Leslie_S> very analog?
2008-04-02 21:40 < Leslie_S> Ceiling_Cat lolling on floor laughing?
2008-04-02 21:40 < enok|walker> lawful?
2008-04-02 21:40 < Lucifer_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: ROCL
2008-04-02 21:41 < NotACow> rolling on the cat laughing?
2008-04-02 21:41 < Schrodinger_Cat> Leslie_S: In the sense that the only the stick was analog, not any of the buttons...
2008-04-02 21:41 < Lucifer_Cat> NotACow: rolling on the ceiling laughing
2008-04-02 21:41 < gwern> interesting, we don't seem to have a rumble article
2008-04-02 21:41 < NotACow> ah
2008-04-02 21:41 < gwern> a rumble pack article yes but not rumble in general
2008-04-02 21:42 < NotACow> ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?
2008-04-02 21:42 < enok|walker> I haven't been able to find anything to write a new article on in like a year :/
2008-04-02 21:42 * Gently_preborn hasn't turned on his xbox 360 recently
2008-04-02 21:42 < Lucifer_Cat> NotACow: if the chick is hot, sure
2008-04-02 21:42 < NotACow> Lucifer_Cat: ew!
2008-04-02 21:42 * Gently_preborn wonders if it had an expected internal kablooie yet
2008-04-02 21:43 < Lucifer_Cat> NotACow: atleast im normal and straight
2008-04-02 21:43 < gwern> enok|walker: ah, I just mentioned something :)
2008-04-02 21:43 < enok|walker> yay [[Don't Wake Daddy]] is surviving AFD :D
2008-04-02 21:43 < NotACow> Lucifer_Cat: my condolences
2008-04-02 21:43 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O
2008-04-02 21:44 * Lucifer_Cat offeres Enterprise_Cat some SOA
2008-04-02 21:44 < Lucifer_Cat> NotACow: its not a bad thing
2008-04-02 21:44 < Lucifer_Cat> only thing that can beat it is two+ hot lesbians.
2008-04-02 21:44 < Lucifer_Cat> thats not an option for me.
2008-04-02 21:44 < enok|walker> are internal company newsletters notable :/
2008-04-02 21:44 < Schrodinger_Cat> enok|walker: Rarely.
2008-04-02 21:45 < Lucifer_Cat> enok|walker: not unless they have some explosive info
2008-04-02 21:45 < Lucifer_Cat> also, what quanticle said.
2008-04-02 21:45 < enok|walker> disney's from when my dad was working there :/
2008-04-02 21:46 < Schrodinger_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: If the info was really that explosive, the company wouldn't be putting it in the newsletter anyway. It'd be on some internal memo with DO NOT DISTRIBUTE stamped all over it.
2008-04-02 21:47 < Lucifer_Cat> yeah, i was thinking of that
2008-04-02 21:47 < Lucifer_Cat> but then i kinda skipped over the "newsletter" part :P
2008-04-02 21:49 < NotACow> anytthing that says "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" has to be distributed as widely as possible
2008-04-02 21:49 < CakeProphet> :o
2008-04-02 21:50 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: Yeah, that's the general rule. Also, distributed as anonymously as possible.
2008-04-02 21:50 < Lucifer_Cat> deepthroat comes to mind.
2008-04-02 21:51 * NotACow collapses Schrodinger_Cat's wavefunction
2008-04-02 21:51 < Lucifer_Cat> and not the icky one.
2008-04-02 21:51 < Lucifer_Cat> NotACow: old jooke
2008-04-02 21:51 * NotACow felt like doing it anyway
2008-04-02 21:51 < NotACow> Lucifer_Cat: all i did was look at him!
2008-04-02 21:51 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: You're lucky I ended up alive.
2008-04-02 21:51 < NotACow> Schrodinger_Cat: no, you are :)
2008-04-02 21:52 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: Heh. True.
2008-04-02 21:52 < zocky> zomg, there's something wrong with my firefox
2008-04-02 21:52 * FastLizard4|Food stampts NotACow with a PLEASE DISTRIBUTE AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE sign
2008-04-02 21:52 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: What's the issue?
2008-04-02 21:52 < NotACow> there are actually three possible states
2008-04-02 21:52 < zocky> there's celine dion in the top left corner
2008-04-02 21:52 < NotACow> alive, dead, and REALLY PISSED OFF
2008-04-02 21:52 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: What verson of Firefox?
2008-04-02 21:53 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: Level of pissiness is orthogonal to level of "alive".
2008-04-02 21:53 < NotACow> Schrodinger_Cat: it's a literary reference :)
2008-04-02 21:53 * Lucifer_Cat stamps "NO BEEF" on Martins forehead
2008-04-02 21:53 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: Ghosts are merely pissed off souls...
2008-04-02 21:53 < zocky> Schrodinger_Cat, any... she's on the main page
2008-04-02 21:53 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: Ah.
2008-04-02 21:53 < Ceiling_Cat> [[Posthumous sperm retrieval]] O.O
2008-04-02 21:54 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: whee
2008-04-02 21:54 < Schrodinger_Cat> zocky: Even bad singers can have good articles on them...
2008-04-02 21:54 < NotACow> BRAIN STEM
2008-04-02 21:54 < NotACow> BRAIN STEM
2008-04-02 21:54 < Cyrius> way to take all the fun out of it
2008-04-02 21:54 < gwern> Schrodinger_Cat: no. ghosts are simply people without a shell
2008-04-02 21:54 < zocky> '''Celine Dion''' is a [[Canada|Canadian]] singer who sucks.
2008-04-02 21:54 < NotACow> ghosts are unreaped zombies
2008-04-02 21:55 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: False. Ghosts are souls without bodies. Zombies are bodies without souls.
2008-04-02 21:55 < enok|walker> do we have an article on toilet related injuries
2008-04-02 21:55 < NotACow> hah
2008-04-02 21:55 < enok|walker> [[toilet-related injury]] YESSS
2008-04-02 21:55 < Schrodinger_Cat> gwern: Well, those people tend to be pissed off though... I mean, if you were without your shell, wouldn't you be mildly miffed, at the very least?

2008-04-02 21:57 < Ceiling_Cat> "Porn is the root of all evil because it will lead to the end of the human race. It makes people think every sex act should end in a money shot. And you can't get somebody pregnant by leaving a Polluck painting on her face"

2008-04-02 21:57 < NotACow> enok|walker: you're better off without her.
2008-04-02 21:58 < Schrodinger_Cat> Lulz. I looked up the defintion of "yiff" on Urbandictionary, and the contextual ad was for one of those 3-d "chat" programs, except that the displayed example was a furry...

2008-04-02 21:58 < Ceiling_Cat> doh
2008-04-02 21:58 < NotACow> that was a long time ago, though

2008-04-02 22:01 < Lucifer_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: i know, i just felt that putting names would make it sound decent.
2008-04-02 22:01 < NotACow> that was a long tme ago, though
2008-04-02 22:01 < NotACow> like 1989
2008-04-02 22:01 < NotACow> i once pretended to be a pregnant cat, too
2008-04-02 22:01 < Demi> it was okay to do that sort of thing in the "me" decade
2008-04-02 22:01 < Lubaf> Is the subject of conversation Furfags?
2008-04-02 22:01 < Lucifer_Cat> Krimpet: screw you guys, im going home.

2008-04-02 22:02 < Schrodinger_Cat> NotACow: Heh. That's true, now that I think of it. It didn't seem especially debauched at the time, though.
2008-04-02 22:02 < Lucifer_Cat> Schrodinger_Cat: RESPECT MY AUTHAROTAI

2008-04-02 22:17 < Demi> what are you doing, zocky?
2008-04-02 22:17 < NotACow> its like "yeah, so you like design things to make sense. what's the fucking big deal aout that?"

2008-04-02 22:25 < Demi> NotACow, Lucifer_Cat - did you see the IBM federal contract thing?
2008-04-02 22:25 < Krimpet> Schrodinger_Cat: I've got a pet parrot who always does that, so I figured I'd look up what it means on the internets...
2008-04-02 22:25 < Krimpet> and what do you know, it means the parrot's aroused <_<
2008-04-02 22:25 < Lucifer_Cat> Demi: saw. it was nice.

2008-04-02 22:26 * Demi works for an IBM competitor
2008-04-02 22:26 < Lucifer_Cat> Krimpet: is it male?
2008-04-02 22:26 < Lycurgus> i hope I live to see something sweep microsoft and ibm into the ole dustbin of history, that or maybe something a little better for IBM which actually has or had elements of a worker meritocracy at one time
2008-04-02 22:26 < NotACow> Demi: i heard about it on the radio
2008-04-02 22:26 < NotACow> Demi: not followed up to find out what's up with it
2008-04-02 22:26 < Krimpet> Lucifer_Cat: she's female
2008-04-02 22:26 < Lycurgus> kina like at one time you had to be a UPS employee to have stock in the company
2008-04-02 22:26 < Lucifer_Cat> Krimpet: slut
2008-04-02 22:26 < NotACow> Demi: my entanglements with ibm are moderately limited; we use one tivoli product and that's about it.
2008-04-02 22:26 < Lucifer_Cat> Lycurgus: ibm has been good intermittently
2008-04-02 22:27 < Krimpet> http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Jabbering_umbrella_cockatoo.JPG <- you can't say that to a face like this. :)
2008-04-02 22:27 < Demi> we use a bunch of tivoli products (we actually use a bunch of everything)
2008-04-02 22:27 < NotACow> oh, we have one IBM server, but i don't like it and wouldnt' buyty another
2008-04-02 22:27 < Lycurgus> LC: I'm very familiar with the company. Spent about a quarter of my career working inside it.
2008-04-02 22:27 < Lucifer_Cat> Krimpet: white trash?
2008-04-02 22:27 < NotACow> Demi: tivoli storage manager
2008-04-02 22:27 < Demi> our backup people use that
2008-04-02 22:27 < Lucifer_Cat> Lycurgus: that explains the hatred
2008-04-02 22:28 < Demi> we also use TNG
2008-04-02 22:28 < Lucifer_Cat> and lol i thought u said "quarter century" for a moment
2008-04-02 22:28 < NotACow> Demi: that what we se it for
2008-04-02 22:28 < NotACow> Demi: and for some limited information lifecycle management.
2008-04-02 22:28 < Lycurgus> no it's not hatred at all. I actually like IBM. The animus is directed toward the system of which MS and IBM are just expressions.
2008-04-02 22:28 < Lucifer_Cat> Demi: whats your company?
2008-04-02 22:28 < Demi> i don't generally say
2008-04-02 22:29 < NotACow> demi is wise
2008-04-02 22:29 < NotACow> i don't identify my employer either
2008-04-02 22:29 < Lucifer_Cat> well okay
2008-04-02 22:29 < NotACow> you people are TOOTALLY untrustworthy :)
2008-04-02 22:29 * Schrodinger_Cat out
2008-04-02 22:29 < Lucifer_Cat> look whos talking
2008-04-02 22:29 * NotACow is the most trustworthy person here
2008-04-02 22:29 < NotACow> well, actually
2008-04-02 22:29 < NotACow> i might trust demi
2008-04-02 22:29 * Lucifer_Cat wonders whats with pushing 40 and getting all secretive.
2008-04-02 22:29 < NotACow> but the rest of you? coompletely useless.
2008-04-02 22:29 < Demi> it's not so much that i mind people knowing (it's a 120k plus person company) it's that i wouldn't say, because then there are some other things i couldn't say
2008-04-02 22:30 < NotACow> Demi: damn, you've rather limited the possibilities
2008-04-02 22:30 < Anonona_DC> I think it's more about the WWW pushing 15
2008-04-02 22:30 < NotACow> there aren't that many employers with that many people.
2008-04-02 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> Demi: i know, i just trolling
2008-04-02 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> and 120K plus IBM competitor heh
2008-04-02 22:30 < Demi> like, people get in trouble on blogs for saying confidential things about their workplace--they don't get in trouble for people guessing things correctly?
2008-04-02 22:30 < Demi> (where did that ? come from)
2008-04-02 22:31 < Lycurgus> at one time IBM had over 400K employees world wide
2008-04-02 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> days of the .Com bloat?
2008-04-02 22:31 < Lycurgus> no before that
2008-04-02 22:31 < Lycurgus> prolly before you were born
2008-04-02 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> pre 84?
2008-04-02 22:32 < Lycurgus> pre 1988
2008-04-02 22:32 < Lucifer_Cat> heh, i work in a 3K plus person company which sued millions out of Intel :P
2008-04-02 22:32 < Lycurgus> IBM made plans in the late 70s and early 80s to restructure because they though they were going to be broken up like the bell system
2008-04-02 22:33 < Lucifer_Cat> Lycurgus: heh, visions of grandeur
2008-04-02 22:33 < Lycurgus> but the downsizing culminated in the hire of Gerstner in the 90s
2008-04-02 22:34 * Lucifer_Cat notices he has been using "heh" and "meh" a lot since he started lurking here
2008-04-02 22:34 < Lucifer_Cat> Lycurgus: what years did u work there?
2008-04-02 22:34 < Lycurgus> after Gerstner the IBM culture was somewhat restored.
2008-04-02 22:35 < Lycurgus> I worked inside IBM in the periods 80-81, 87-91, and 96-97.
2008-04-02 22:37 < Lucifer_Cat> wow
2008-04-02 22:38 < Lucifer_Cat> you should go there again before the decade is out
2008-04-02 22:38 < Lycurgus> no chance
2008-04-02 22:38 < Lucifer_Cat> :(
2008-04-02 22:38 < Lucifer_Cat> btw, did fruitbag get just kicked or banned too for suggesting that he was enjoying chat way too much?
2008-04-02 22:39 < Newbuntu2> I'm looking for info regarding the size of different economies.. is there a channel for that?
2008-04-02 22:39 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: dont kick me bro
2008-04-02 22:39 < Lucifer_Cat> Newbuntu2: as in
2008-04-02 22:39 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: I am not, I am trying to set a ban :P
2008-04-02 22:39 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: dont ban me bro
2008-04-02 22:39 < Enterprise_Cat> wait
2008-04-02 22:40 < Newbuntu2> the news always talk about x being a "50million dollar economy", and y being "z billion dollars". I was wondering if there is some form of piechart that divides the different sectors.
2008-04-02 22:41 < Newbuntu2> and a follow up question: what's a bigger economy: the fashion industry or the automotive industry?
2008-04-02 22:41 < Demi> like breaks the GDP down by industry or something?
2008-04-02 22:41 < Demi> i'll bet those are funny numbers that don't add up
2008-04-02 22:41 < Newbuntu2> sure.
2008-04-02 22:42 < Newbuntu2> probably, which is why I wanted to see them all put together, to compare what the relative 'size' of the different economies are
2008-04-02 22:42 < Lucifer_Cat> Newbuntu2: try forbes.com i guess
2008-04-02 22:44 < Lycurgus> Newbuntu2: you want to look into Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
2008-04-02 22:44 < Lucifer_Cat> Lycurgus: i dont think hes talking about economy in that sense
2008-04-02 22:44 < Lucifer_Cat> i thought so too at first
2008-04-02 22:45 < Lucifer_Cat> but what he means is "xyz is a pqr billion dollar industry"
2008-04-02 22:45 < Newbuntu2> PPP? for industries? I thought that compared people's "run for their money" across different countries
2008-04-02 22:45 < Newbuntu2> right
2008-04-02 22:45 < Lucifer_Cat> Newbuntu2: when you ask about "size of different economies" people tend to think of that
2008-04-02 22:46 < Newbuntu2> example: the "automotive industry is x billion dollars a year", and the fashion industry is "y billion dollars a year"
2008-04-02 22:46 < Lucifer_Cat> you mean size of industries
2008-04-02 22:46 < Newbuntu2> yes; that's probably a better way of putting it
2008-04-02 22:47 < Newbuntu2> by sector, to be precise
2008-04-02 22:48 < The359> what are you doing, Enterprise_Cat?
2008-04-02 22:48 < Enterprise_Cat> The359: Attempting to set a ban, but the server is not acknowledging my command
2008-04-02 22:48 < The359> beat it with a stick
2008-04-02 22:48 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Phail.
2008-04-02 22:49 < Enterprise_Cat> Well, I guess the fact that the user is already banned might be the problem :P
2008-04-02 22:49 * Enterprise_Cat beats White_Cat with a sticl
2008-04-02 22:49 < Enterprise_Cat> *stick
2008-04-02 22:50 < Enterprise_Cat> Note to developers: Have the server return an error if you try to set a ban already set
2008-04-02 22:50 < The359> don't do that, he'll just enjoy it
2008-04-02 22:51 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: i prefer returning a warning
2008-04-02 22:51 < Lucifer_Cat> or a message.
2008-04-02 22:51 < Enterprise_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: I know, it dosen't though
2008-04-02 22:51 < Lucifer_Cat> an error could imply something breaking biting hacking burning!!
2008-04-02 22:52 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: wtf, height of talking to yourself
2008-04-02 22:52 * Enterprise_Cat smacks self
2008-04-02 22:52 < Enterprise_Cat> I meant to direct that at you Lucifer_Cat
2008-04-02 22:54 < The359> http://goteaminternet.com/img/docs/8602.jpg
2008-04-02 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> you are phailing in epic proportions SOA_Cat
2008-04-02 22:55 < Lycurgus> yeah the comparitive division of national economies is something you can prolly find with a days searching from multiple sources with appropriate skills. You'll first find a plethora of single industry/scctor comparisons, primarly defense.
2008-04-02 22:55 < Lucifer_Cat> Lycurgus: wiki has some damn good articles on gdp and ppp and real gdp and whatnot
2008-04-02 22:58 < Lycurgus> yeah, but that's not what e wanted.
2008-04-02 22:58 < Lycurgus> e war ein sucker.
2008-04-02 22:58 < Lycurgus> ein saugetier
2008-04-02 22:59 < Lycurgus> I dealt with ir fairly and humourlessly though. Is that not the way?
2008-04-02 23:05 < Lycurgus> s/humourlessly/dispassionately/
2008-04-02 23:07 < Lycurgus> Bunny Watson and crew could have done in it a few minutes though.
2008-04-02 23:09 < Lycurgus> ([[Desk Set]])
2008-04-02 23:10 < NotACow> WOOOOOOOOT!
2008-04-02 23:14 * Enterprise_Cat thinks there was just a netsplit. Just a guess.

2008-04-02 23:30 < Enterprise_Cat> woah
2008-04-02 23:31 < gwern> Enterprise_Cat: why do you wear that stupid cat suit?
2008-04-02 23:31 < Enterprise_Cat> gwern: huh?
2008-04-02 23:36 < Mark_Ryan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Florida_Sunrise_099.JPG -- this is a fantastic photo.

2008-04-02 23:46 * Ceiling_Cat cuddles
2008-04-02 23:46 < Chetblong> how do i set the level for getkey?
2008-04-02 23:47 < Chetblong> [23:45] *ChanServ* Invalid type specified [getkey]
2008-04-02 23:47 < wikiwarrior> hey any ops around right now?
2008-04-02 23:47 < Ceiling_Cat> Several
2008-04-02 23:47 < Cyrius> what's a getkey?
2008-04-02 23:47 < wikiwarrior> hah one of you banned me. i was joking about being a troll
2008-04-02 23:47 < wikiwarrior> in jest
2008-04-02 23:47 < wikiwarrior> blatantly
2008-04-02 23:47 < Chetblong> /cs getkey
2008-04-02 23:48 < wikiwarrior> i thought i was being pretty obvious, maybe not
2008-04-02 23:48 < wikiwarrior> said i was LFG for a 10man raid on the main page
2008-04-02 23:48 < wikiwarrior> and banned instantly
2008-04-02 23:49 < Cyrius> gee, I wonder why would might have thought that wasn't funny
2008-04-02 23:50 < wikiwarrior> yeay i forgot a wiki jedi knows not humor
2008-04-02 23:50 < Cyrius> we have a sense of humor, you're just not funny
2008-04-02 23:50 < Cyrius> I know it's easy to get wrong
2008-04-02 23:50 < RobJ1981> hi
2008-04-02 23:50 < wikiwarrior> dude.
2008-04-02 23:50 < wikiwarrior> come on
2008-04-02 23:51 < wikiwarrior> now youre being funny
2008-04-02 23:51 < RobJ1981> People nominating things as a joke on April Fools Day was just stupid.
2008-04-02 23:51 < Enterprise_Cat> wikiwarrior: It's just a generally good idea not to get on an ops bad side
2008-04-02 23:51 < Cyrius> that is because I am a master of wit and erudition
2008-04-02 23:51 < Enterprise_Cat> X-D
2008-04-02 23:51 < Enterprise_Cat> I have an Apil Fools Day daily-article-l posting that I shall cherish
2008-04-02 23:52 < wikiwarrior> yeah im on wikipedia. i understand the idea of respecting the guys with the guns
2008-04-02 23:52 < wikiwarrior> or "brooms"
2008-04-02 23:52 < wikiwarrior> as they seem to be known
2008-04-02 23:53 < Cyrius> if we had guns we could shoot some of the more persistent problem users and be rid of them
2008-04-02 23:53 < Enterprise_Cat> wikiwarrior: We don't have guns or brooms, we have the tesla bombas though
2008-04-02 23:53 < wikiwarrior> hilarious and creepy. so can i get unbanned or no
2008-04-02 23:53 * Mark_Ryan unbans wikiwarrior with the unban reason "per IRC"
2008-04-02 23:53 < Cyrius> Mark_Ryan: that'll go over well =)
2008-04-02 23:54 * Ceiling_Cat resumes huggling Mark_Ryan
2008-04-02 23:54 < Mark_Ryan> lol
2008-04-02 23:54 < wikiwarrior> want the i[
2008-04-02 23:54 < wikiwarrior> *ip
2008-04-02 23:54 < Mark_Ryan> wikiwarrior, I'm only joking. you can't get an unban here, you need to use your talk page or unblock-l
2008-04-02 23:55 < wikiwarrior> i thought wikipedia was not irc
2008-04-02 23:55 < Mark_Ryan> yes, exactly
2008-04-02 23:55 < wikiwarrior> what is unblock-I
2008-04-02 23:55 < Mark_Ryan> it's a mailing list
2008-04-02 23:55 * Enterprise_Cat is now going to bed, good night!
2008-04-02 23:56 < Mark_Ryan> wikiwarrior: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Appealing_a_block
2008-04-02 23:56 < Mark_Ryan> it's not that we don't sympathise and want to help you, but it's entirely frowned-upon for anything to be done solely based upon an IRC discussion
2008-04-02 23:56 < wikiwarrior> hah but this is an irc matter
2008-04-02 23:57 < Mark_Ryan> what, you're talking about an IRC ban?
2008-04-02 23:57 < Werdna> huh?
2008-04-02 23:57 < wikiwarrior> and seriously, its not like you cant reblock me
2008-04-02 23:57 < wikiwarrior> yes
