2008-04-03 20:49 < Lucifer_Cat> Cyrius: if he needs to ask, he certainly cant.
2008-04-03 20:49 < Cyrius> nickynacky: nobody's going to stop you if it's just for you
2008-04-03 20:50 < nickynacky> no im just wondering ?
2008-04-03 20:50 < Cyrius> Lucifer_Cat: I considered saying that, but I was feeling helpful
2008-04-03 20:50 < cimon> Lucifer_Cat, Tina Weymouth has nice drumsticks... and I do mean the innuendo...
2008-04-03 20:50 < nickynacky> its explained on the help
2008-04-03 20:50 < nickynacky> it is allowed if i do it like this
2008-04-03 20:50 < Lucifer_Cat> cimon: lol. shes 50 born man
2008-04-03 20:50 < nickynacky> but the only problems ae the pictures
2008-04-03 20:51 < Ral315_> Nothing wrong with an older woman.
2008-04-03 20:51 < nickynacky> which are till now black squares
2008-04-03 20:51 < Lucifer_Cat> oh and dont confuse Tina Fey with Katie Fey... there both tappable, but Tina has been tapped by an order of 10 less people than Katie.
2008-04-03 20:51 < Cyrius> we don't let people hotlink our images
2008-04-03 20:51 < cimon> Lucifer_Cat, hey, what is wrong with memories...
2008-04-03 20:51 < Lucifer_Cat> cimon: nothing at all.
2008-04-03 20:52 < Lucifer_Cat> Norma Jean popped way before i was born, but i still think shes fappable.
2008-04-03 20:53 < zvook> tina weymouth is a bassist
2008-04-03 20:53 < Ral315_> Everyone says I'm nuts, but I think Golda Meir was attractive.
2008-04-03 20:53 < nickynacky> what is hotlink?
2008-04-03 20:54 < nickynacky> what does that mean?
2008-04-03 20:54 < Ral315_> nickynacky, Using the images of another website without copying them and moving them to your own website.
2008-04-03 20:54 < nickynacky> ah ok
2008-04-03 20:54 < nickynacky> i see
2008-04-03 20:54 < Cyrius> so the browser loads them off our servers
2008-04-03 20:54 < Cyrius> costing the foundation money
2008-04-03 20:55 < Lucifer_Cat> Ral315_: she is... if ure into BDSM
2008-04-03 20:55 < nickynacky> but when i load the page with loadHTML it is done once by caching iz
2008-04-03 20:55 < nickynacky> it
2008-04-03 20:55 < Lucifer_Cat> iirc,Golda Meir was the israel kickass right?
2008-04-03 20:56 < nickynacky> and see the help page
2008-04-03 20:56 < nickynacky> this is not forbidde
2008-04-03 20:56 < nickynacky> as it DOES NOT COAST U MONEY
2008-04-03 20:57 < Cyrius> the foundation has to pay for servers and internet connections
2008-04-03 20:57 < cimon> another cool language name... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luwian_language
2008-04-03 20:57 < Cyrius> loading stuff costs money
2008-04-03 20:57 < Cyrius> and you don't understand how images are loaded
2008-04-03 20:57 < nickynacky> yes but this is done by the users of my webpage as if they were on wikipedia
2008-04-03 20:58 < nickynacky> besides my site is not indexed so ?
2008-04-03 20:58 < Cyrius> the foundation doesn't pay money to support other people's sites
2008-04-03 20:59 < Lucifer_Cat> bbs
2008-04-03 20:59 < The359> <nickynacky> as it DOES NOT COAST U MONEY <-- lulz
2008-04-03 21:00 < nickynacky> but this is true its not his money
2008-04-03 21:03 < nickynacky> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Weiternutzung/Standardkonforme_Teilnutzung

2008-04-03 21:06 * SynergeticMag yawns
2008-04-03 21:09 < Lucifer_Cat> hey maggot
2008-04-03 21:09 < nickynacky> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Searching#External_search_engines
2008-04-03 21:09 < nickynacky> and
2008-04-03 21:11 < ThePolecat> Good morning. I'm the root of all your problems, but do call me Chip.
2008-04-03 21:11 < Lucifer_Cat> trying hard to clear your name huh nickynacky
2008-04-03 21:11 < Lucifer_Cat> hey Weaselosaurous
2008-04-03 21:11 < ThePolecat> evening
2008-04-03 21:12 < nickynacky> i guess u misunderstand me
2008-04-03 21:13 < nickynacky> i want to cache some requested articles automaticly and use them afterwards from my cache
2008-04-03 21:13 < The359> you know you can just download all of WIkipedia, right?
2008-04-03 21:14 < nickynacky> yes but its too big
2008-04-03 21:15 < nickynacky> and i want a actual version of the article every month or so
2008-04-03 21:15 < The359> why
2008-04-03 21:15 < Paine> so is the LHC gonna kill us all?
2008-04-03 21:16 < Cyrius> no
2008-04-03 21:16 < Paine> oh, ok then.
2008-04-03 21:16 < nickynacky> for my webpage
2008-04-03 21:16 < Cyrius> Paine: the actual answer is <scientist>maybe</scientist>
2008-04-03 21:17 < Cyrius> which translates into english as "no"
2008-04-03 21:17 < Cyrius> which is part of the problem
2008-04-03 21:17 < Cyrius> they say "maybe" in scientist and people here it in English
2008-04-03 21:18 < Cyrius> hear, bah
2008-04-03 21:23 < Antibuddha> can anyone triangulate the year in which gattaca takes place
2008-04-03 21:23 < Messedrocker> how do you triangulate a YEAR
2008-04-03 21:23 < The359> considering it takes place in the future...
2008-04-03 21:23 < Antibuddha> by using various facts as evidence
2008-04-03 21:23 < Antibuddha> like the fact that in-valids still exist
2008-04-03 21:23 < Messedrocker> triangulation is the use of side and angle measures to solve a triangle
2008-04-03 21:25 < gwern> http://lol.cat/ <-- fun
2008-04-03 21:25 < The359> it's retro-futuristic
2008-04-03 21:29 < ijustam> gwern: did that just send me to a catalan google?
2008-04-03 21:30 < Lucifer_Cat> it did
2008-04-03 21:31 * gwern lols
2008-04-03 21:37 < Lucifer_Cat> Cyrius: is it okay to cache an article... and have it show up after a month on your website?
2008-04-03 21:37 * Cyrius shrugs
2008-04-03 21:38 < Lucifer_Cat> then when is it unquestionably legal to do it?
2008-04-03 21:39 < cimon> "I would defend the liberty of consenting adult creationists to practice whatever intellectual perversions they like in the privacy of their own homes; but it is also necessary to protect the young and innocent." - heh
2008-04-03 21:40 * nickynacky lols
2008-04-03 21:40 < cimon> Cyrius, I would argue that in the long run, the LHC may save humanity...
2008-04-03 21:40 < cimon> if we get a viable space drive out of it...
2008-04-03 21:41 < Cyrius> getting fusion power would be pretty good in the short term
2008-04-03 21:41 < Fennec> eh, what humanity /really/ needs is a good... exactly
2008-04-03 21:41 < cimon> getting our eggs from the same basket is a goal worth taking seriously...
2008-04-03 21:41 < Fennec> yes, but in the short to intermediate term attempts to do so are largely futile
2008-04-03 21:41 < Cyrius> plus, you need something to power your starship =)
2008-04-03 21:41 < cimon> yes yes...
2008-04-03 21:42 < nickynacky> if u want to know how to get the content via php
2008-04-03 21:42 < nickynacky> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:PmegBot/PHP-Framework?redirect=no
2008-04-03 21:42 < cimon> Cyrius, your line reminds me of a classic dirty joke...
2008-04-03 21:42 < Cyrius> doesn't remind me of any dirty joke I've ever heard
2008-04-03 21:42 < Cyrius> but that's mostly because I haven't heard that many
2008-04-03 21:43 < cimon> Cyrius, there was a (french as I recall) famous lover (I really forget the name) who had a small penis...
2008-04-03 21:43 < Chetblong> O_O
2008-04-03 21:44 < cimon> His line was that it isn't the size of the nail, but having the hammer to drive it (referring to his remarkably large buttocks...)
2008-04-03 21:44 < Cyrius> I suspect that would have been funnier if it had been told better
2008-04-03 21:45 < cimon> yes yes, verymuch lost in translation, and my poor memory...
2008-04-03 21:45 < Cyrius> I think it was just your delivery
2008-04-03 21:46 < cimon> I have fond memories though, of reading this brick sized scientific study of dirty jokes throughout the ages, that I found in our local University Library...
2008-04-03 21:46 < Antibuddha> i guess that gattaca takes place in the early 22th century
2008-04-03 21:47 < cimon> the guilty pleasures of a teenager skipping school to browse freely in a library...
2008-04-03 21:47 < Antibuddha> at latest
2008-04-03 21:47 < Antibuddha> when i skipped school i called those days Happy days
2008-04-03 21:47 < Antibuddha> and i did things like eat meals when i wanted
2008-04-03 21:47 < The359> and you're basing this off of what, Antibuddha?
2008-04-03 21:47 < Enterprise_Cat> Krimpet! :)
2008-04-03 21:47 < Antibuddha> The359: my brain

2008-04-03 21:48 < SynergeticMag> there's an MfD out for userpage's that are not appropriate, and your name's on the list
2008-04-03 21:48 < Lucifer_Cat> Antibuddha: you are tiresome.
2008-04-03 21:48 < Luna-San> o.o My userpage? It's pretty bare bones.

2008-04-03 21:53 < Lucifer_Cat> one billion in-house and millions others on-site... and yet not a single one in this channel who could understand what i just said...
2008-04-03 21:53 < cimon> Now I have to check if wikiquote has the attribution correct...

2008-04-03 22:19 < Ceiling_Cat> hearing MyWikiBiz try to justify his pay-me-to-edit-your-article scheme
2008-04-03 22:19 < Ceiling_Cat> (for which he was justly baninated)
2008-04-03 22:20 < Lucifer_Cat> van gogh
2008-04-03 22:20 < Ceiling_Cat> or hearing Somey claim WR is an open forum
2008-04-03 22:20 < Ceiling_Cat> It's open... until you point out that the founder is a neonazi
2008-04-03 22:21 < Ceiling_Cat> and then Dr. Zen (aka Grace Note) got banned
2008-04-03 22:24 < Lucifer_Cat> you mean gracenotes?
2008-04-03 22:25 < cimon> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Spencer_Ashbee - awesome dude...
2008-04-03 22:26 < cimon> "Ashbee's will left his entire collection to the British Museum, with the condition that the erotic works had to be accepted along with the conventional items. Because the trustees wanted the materials related to Cervantes, they decided to accept the bequest. The trustees exploited a loophole to destroy some of the erotica, although some of the works are in the British Library, including a work by William Simpson Potter." - how disgraceful...
2008-04-03 22:26 * SynergeticMag is watching Sweeney Todd
2008-04-03 22:26 < SynergeticMag> the demon barber of fleet street!

2008-04-03 22:31 < cimon> haha, My Secret Life contains the 5 357 occurances of the word "cunt"...

2008-04-03 22:31 < Luna-San> Heh. Boring troll is boring. :p
2008-04-03 22:32 < cimon> Luna-San, btw, I added the "Make love, not war" line to [[Peace]] in wikiquote...
2008-04-03 22:32 < wangchung> theyre just thrilled they managed to slip past the filter that makes sure you are a human and can spell kayak
2008-04-03 22:32 < SynergeticMag> Has anyone in here seen Sweeney Todd?
2008-04-03 22:33 < Cyrius> I don't get the "<blank> thing is <blank>" meme
2008-04-03 22:33 < Luna-San> That'd make sense
2008-04-03 22:33 < Luna-San> The first I recall of it is "Fail cat is fail" or something along those lines
2008-04-03 22:33 < wangchung> havent heard of that one
2008-04-03 22:33 < wangchung> or have i
2008-04-03 22:34 < wangchung> seems pretty broad

2008-04-03 22:36 < Nihiltres> which was also good
2008-04-03 22:36 < wangchung> sounds dumb. i shall abstain

2008-04-03 22:36 < SynergeticMag> i don't like big hairy guys with no clothes on, so i didn't see Beowolf

2008-04-03 22:37 < SynergeticMag> :/
2008-04-03 22:37 * SynergeticMag says he even bought his wife the soundtrack
2008-04-03 22:38 * Werdna shrugs
2008-04-03 22:38 < Werdna> I'm not really a movie person
2008-04-03 22:38 < SynergeticMag> well, it used to be a play
2008-04-03 22:38 < wangchung> everyone likes movies
2008-04-03 22:38 < wangchung> even the blind
2008-04-03 22:39 < SynergeticMag> so, Riana, how does one join the bathrobe cabal?
2008-04-03 22:39 < Werdna> I hear they have some.. interesting.. initiation rites
2008-04-03 22:39 < Nihiltres> SynergeticMag:
2008-04-03 22:39 < Riana> SynergeticMag: takes a very fly picture of themselves in a bathrobe and submits it for consideration
2008-04-03 22:39 < Nihiltres> URL for [[WP:BRC]]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:BRC
2008-04-03 22:39 < Riana> oh, and lots of paddling
2008-04-03 22:39 < SynergeticMag> Riana: padding?
2008-04-03 22:40 < NotACow> any puddling?
2008-04-03 22:40 < Riana> paddling... white water rafting... that sort of thing
2008-04-03 22:40 < Cyrius> pudding? did someone say pudding?
2008-04-03 22:40 * Nihiltres is tempted, but doesn't generally post pictures online
2008-04-03 22:40 < SynergeticMag> Nihiltres: danke, i already know where it is :)

2008-04-03 22:41 < Riana> stop yelling, half the room is hungover
2008-04-03 22:41 < NotACow> Nihiltres: you don't want none of that
2008-04-03 22:41 < SynergeticMag> Riana: that sounds too strenuous
2008-04-03 22:41 < Riana> SynergeticMag: OK, I lied abotu the white water rafting
2008-04-03 22:41 < SynergeticMag> ah then ok
2008-04-03 22:41 < Nihiltres> heh
2008-04-03 22:42 * Nihiltres has never been hung over
2008-04-03 22:42 < SynergeticMag> i just didn't feel like taking lessons
2008-04-03 22:42 < NotACow> i've only been hung over once
2008-04-03 22:42 < Riana> lol
2008-04-03 22:42 < NotACow> that was the night after i had three pinesols.
2008-04-03 22:42 < Ral315_> Pinesols?
2008-04-03 22:42 < NotACow> Ral315_: half gin, half yukon jack
2008-04-03 22:43 < NotACow> Ral315_: yukon jack is like instant hangover potion
2008-04-03 22:43 < Ral315_> Yeah, that sounds bad.
2008-04-03 22:43 < NotACow> Ral315_: they tasted good enough, but wow bad in the morning
2008-04-03 22:43 < SynergeticMag> Riana: do i have to actually be "wearing" the bathrobe?
2008-04-03 22:44 < SynergeticMag> cause this sounds like a commitment
2008-04-03 22:44 < Riana> SynergeticMag: that would be good, yeah. Or, you know, you sprawled over it erotically
2008-04-03 22:44 < SynergeticMag> O.o
2008-04-03 22:45 < SynergeticMag> no, you don't want that
2008-04-03 22:45 < Riana> don't I?
2008-04-03 22:45 < Riana> Ok, I don't
2008-04-03 22:45 * Riana hides behind Mike
2008-04-03 22:45 < Riana> tabcomplete foo1! Mike_H
2008-04-03 22:45 * SynergeticMag locates his Voldemort bathrobe
2008-04-03 22:47 < SynergeticMag> NotACow: why did Brown_Cat get mad the other day?
2008-04-03 22:47 < NotACow> SynergeticMag: fuck if i know
2008-04-03 22:47 < wangchung> good god too many _cats

2008-04-03 22:51 < cimon> http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Liberated_Prisoner
2008-04-03 22:51 < Ceiling_Cat> where is it stored by default -- /var/www/....
2008-04-03 22:51 < Ceiling_Cat> what's the rest?
2008-04-03 22:51 < Fennec> /var/log
2008-04-03 22:51 < Fennec> httpd.

2008-04-03 22:51 * SynergeticMag shoots paint pellets at Ceiling_Cat
2008-04-03 22:52 < cimon> "While in this renovation of the life
2008-04-03 22:52 < cimon> Of the frail, helpless insect of a day,
2008-04-03 22:52 < cimon> I felt a pleasure that could ne'er have sprung
2008-04-03 22:52 < cimon> From taking it away."
2008-04-03 22:52 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: memory of what?
2008-04-03 22:52 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: i don't remember where the log goes by "default"
2008-04-03 22:53 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: some distributions change it so it's really quite distribution-dependent
2008-04-03 22:53 < Demi> everyone has their own idea where to put apache's logs and config files

2008-04-03 23:05 < ijustam> roomba
2008-04-03 23:05 < Riana> Werdna: I *try* to archive every 50 sections... these last few months got outta hand
2008-04-03 23:05 < Riana> ok, I got lazy
2008-04-03 23:05 < SynergeticMag> hey i need an archiver also!
2008-04-03 23:05 < Werdna> Riana: I have ALWAYS wanted to use that as an edit summary
2008-04-03 23:05 < Werdna> SynergeticMag: user talk page link?
2008-04-03 23:05 < SynergeticMag> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SynergeticMaggot
2008-04-03 23:06 < Riana> Werdna: what, 'a sexy pool cleaner'?
2008-04-03 23:06 < Werdna> Riana: no, 'per IRC'
2008-04-03 23:06 < Riana> oh lol
2008-04-03 23:07 < Werdna> anyway, archival should start within about 6 hours
2008-04-03 23:07 < SynergeticMag> Thanks!
2008-04-03 23:07 < Riana> thankee Werdna :)
2008-04-03 23:07 < SynergeticMag> i was actually meaning to contact you, i just forgot
2008-04-03 23:07 < Werdna> in 5 hours, actually
2008-04-03 23:07 < SynergeticMag> worked a double shift
2008-04-03 23:07 < Werdna> because it ran like an hour ago
2008-04-03 23:07 < Werdna> well, it's not really hard
2008-04-03 23:08 < Werdna> just add {{Werdnabot}} to your talk page
2008-04-03 23:08 < Werdna> and it archives
2008-04-03 23:08 < SynergeticMag> ah
2008-04-03 23:08 * SynergeticMag swoons
2008-04-03 23:08 < SynergeticMag> seems you got your chance to do the edit summary
2008-04-03 23:09 < SynergeticMag> now i need to clean up my userpage, i really don't, since Sango made it :(
2008-04-03 23:10 < Werdna> hehe
2008-04-03 23:10 < Werdna> Riana: cool picture on your front page
2008-04-03 23:10 < Riana> yeah, I should remove it, but I'm too lazy to log in
2008-04-03 23:10 < SynergeticMag> she looks like a mental patient in that one pic (no offence, its hot)
2008-04-03 23:10 < Nihiltres> the bathrobe?
2008-04-03 23:10 < Riana> bahaha
2008-04-03 23:11 < SynergeticMag> yeah i think its that onw
2008-04-03 23:11 < SynergeticMag> one*
2008-04-03 23:11 < Werdna> haha
2008-04-03 23:11 < Riana> much appreciated xD
2008-04-03 23:11 < Werdna> it's cool, the way you made the picture on your userpage
2008-04-03 23:11 < Werdna> and it doesn't even kill servers :P
2008-04-03 23:11 < Werdna> (I think)
2008-04-03 23:11 < Riana> Werdna: I didn't, some troll made it for me on another site
2008-04-03 23:12 < Werdna> haha
2008-04-03 23:12 < Riana> he was trying to freak me out, 'hey I know where your bebo is'
2008-04-03 23:12 < Riana> and I was like 'congrats dude, did you use goooogle?'
2008-04-03 23:12 < Werdna> hehe
2008-04-03 23:13 < Spacebirdy123> Szeretlek = Riana?
2008-04-03 23:13 < Werdna> well, he probably saw you, and thought "Oh, a dumb girl who doesn't know how to hide her info. She'll probably be freaked out if I show it to her"
2008-04-03 23:13 < Demi> bebo?
2008-04-03 23:13 < Riana> Spacebirdy123: no :x
2008-04-03 23:13 < Riana> Spacebirdy123: oh wait, yes
2008-04-03 23:13 < Riana> :D
2008-04-03 23:13 < Werdna> Demi: social network
2008-04-03 23:13 < Riana> Werdna: more like I don't feel the need to hide it :s silly trolls
2008-04-03 23:14 < Demi> you crazy kids
2008-04-03 23:14 < Werdna> Riana: oh I know, but that's what they THOUGHT
2008-04-03 23:14 < Luna-San> omg Riana has a bebo
2008-04-03 23:14 < Luna-San> Let's go spam it
2008-04-03 23:14 < The359> bebo?
2008-04-03 23:14 < SynergeticMag> Riana: i laughed when the sub page of your conversation with Dorftrottel
2008-04-03 23:14 < Riana> hehe
2008-04-03 23:14 < Luna-San> I think it's something like Myspace/Facebook/etc?
2008-04-03 23:14 < SynergeticMag> i knew it was going to be deleted
2008-04-03 23:14 < Riana> Luna-San: it's more whorish than facebook, less so than myspace
2008-04-03 23:14 < Luna-San> Check
2008-04-03 23:14 < SynergeticMag> i hate typo's
2008-04-03 23:14 * SynergeticMag goes away
2008-04-03 23:15 < Nihiltres> myspace is teh sucks
2008-04-03 23:15 < Demi> you mean goe's
2008-04-03 23:15 < The359> MySpace is for pedos
2008-04-03 23:15 < The359> and emos who want pedos
2008-04-03 23:15 < Nihiltres> The359: exactly
2008-04-03 23:16 < Spacebirdy123> MySpace is pretty good if you set your page for friends-only.
2008-04-03 23:18 < Zach> no tawker? :( who will i talk canucks with now?
2008-04-03 23:18 < Nihiltres> I gave up when I got escaped HTML while telling it not to shove "MySpace Canada" down my throat for the fifth time
2008-04-03 23:21 * SynergeticMag is so glad he took his name off the list for admin hopefuls :)
2008-04-03 23:21 < Werdna> heh
2008-04-03 23:21 < Werdna> admin hopefuls
2008-04-03 23:21 < Werdna> that's like "please think I'm power hungry, kthx"
2008-04-03 23:22 < SynergeticMag> people are looking for someone to nominate, or so the conversation goes at RfA:talk
2008-04-03 23:22 < Lady_Aleena> MzMcBride: You reading this?
2008-04-03 23:22 < SynergeticMag> i replaced my userbox with: don't nominate me, i won't accept
2008-04-03 23:23 < SynergeticMag> one failed RfA is enough
2008-04-03 23:23 * SynergeticMag chuckles
2008-04-03 23:23 < uberpenguin> pss... if any admin hopeful wants it, they can have my account... so long as they present a written proposal for how they'll cause the most hilarious flame war ever with it
2008-04-03 23:23 < Werdna> I have 4 unsuccessful
2008-04-03 23:23 < SynergeticMag> Werdna: i won't go through that
2008-04-03 23:23 * Lady_Aleena never been nomination.
2008-04-03 23:23 < SynergeticMag> nominated*
2008-04-03 23:23 < SynergeticMag> :)
2008-04-03 23:24 < uberpenguin> don't worry it's not difficult
2008-04-03 23:24 < Demi> if you want to be an admin, ask; the nomination thing is bogus
2008-04-03 23:24 * Lady_Aleena is out of focus, can't think straight. She only say the bad grammar once she hit enter.
2008-04-03 23:24 < Lady_Aleena> s/say/saw
2008-04-03 23:24 < Werdna> :P
2008-04-03 23:24 < SynergeticMag> Lady_Aleena: i want my bowl back
2008-04-03 23:24 < uberpenguin> participate in a few fights with policy dwonks without calling them policy dwonks, revert a few thousand vandals, adorn your page with barnstars, and write an article about an obscure anime character
2008-04-03 23:24 < SynergeticMag> its still in your dishwasher
2008-04-03 23:24 < uberpenguin> that's pretty much a sure-fire RfA success after 6 months
2008-04-03 23:25 < SynergeticMag> uberpenguin: no thanks :) i like my status
2008-04-03 23:25 < Lady_Aleena> SynergeticMag: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia ANYONE can edit, that means user pages too (though it is bad form to at times).
2008-04-03 23:25 < uberpenguin> that too, will pass
2008-04-03 23:26 < SynergeticMag> Lady_Aleena: you want me to "steal" my bowl back?
2008-04-03 23:26 < Lady_Aleena> SynergeticMag: It isn't stealing.
2008-04-03 23:26 < SynergeticMag> fine fine
2008-04-03 23:26 < uberpenguin> odds are, one day you too will be a bitter cynical bastard hanging out in IRC and scoffing at just about everything that people mention
2008-04-03 23:27 < SynergeticMag> maybe
2008-04-03 23:27 < uberpenguin> that will occur just about the time you start to reminisce about "the old days"
2008-04-03 23:27 < SynergeticMag> but i dont know, i like editing
2008-04-03 23:27 < Lady_Aleena> SynMag: I have to shorten your name. I invited people to add things to the dishwasher, so if you want to remove something, I can't stop you. :)
2008-04-03 23:27 < xsillysteve> Hey guys, I'm having some Wikipedia tech problems, can anyone help me?
2008-04-03 23:27 < SynergeticMag> thats ok, people just call me maggot or SynMag
2008-04-03 23:27 < Lady_Aleena> xsill: What kind of problem?
2008-04-03 23:27 < SynergeticMag> i'm used to it
2008-04-03 23:27 < xsillysteve> Consistent time-outs
2008-04-03 23:27 < xsillysteve> Everytime I try to get to Wikipedia
2008-04-03 23:28 < SynergeticMag> what browser?
2008-04-03 23:28 < xsillysteve> firefox and I.E. both
2008-04-03 23:28 < Lady_Aleena> xsill: Have you talked to your ISP?
2008-04-03 23:28 < SynergeticMag> screw ie
2008-04-03 23:28 < xsillysteve> it's got Werdna in wikipedia-tech baffled as well
2008-04-03 23:28 < Lady_Aleena> xsill: I see that.
2008-04-03 23:28 < SynergeticMag> it says "connection timed out"?
2008-04-03 23:28 < xsillysteve> to that extent
2008-04-03 23:29 < Lady_Aleena> brb
2008-04-03 23:29 < SynergeticMag> i'd say its a connection problem, refreshing and what not
2008-04-03 23:29 < SynergeticMag> hmm
2008-04-03 23:29 < SynergeticMag> do you have any other app's running at the same time?
2008-04-03 23:30 < uberpenguin> xsillysteve: go here, what do you see? http://3494942722/
2008-04-03 23:30 < Spacebirdy123> Verizon customer service sucks.
2008-04-03 23:30 < SynergeticMag> maybe your processor can't handle something
2008-04-03 23:30 < SynergeticMag> Wiki does not exist
2008-04-03 23:30 < SynergeticMag> From Meta, a wiki about Wikimedia
2008-04-03 23:30 < SynergeticMag> This wiki does not exist yet. Perhaps you are looking for one of our other projects:
2008-04-03 23:30 < uberpenguin> SynergeticMag: not you
2008-04-03 23:30 < SynergeticMag> :)~
2008-04-03 23:31 < Spacebirdy123> weird. "Wiki does not exist, a list of a bunch of different language additions of Wikipedia
2008-04-03 23:31 < SynergeticMag> that was a "this is what you should see"
2008-04-03 23:32 < uberpenguin> Spacebirdy123: *editions
2008-04-03 23:32 < SynergeticMag> typo demon
2008-04-03 23:34 < uberpenguin> yes well anyway you ought to see the 'Wiki does not exist' message if you enter that into your browser; otherwise you can probably blame your ISP
2008-04-03 23:36 < xsillysteve> k guys
2008-04-03 23:36 < xsillysteve> so new developments
2008-04-03 23:36 < apple> is there anyone here who can program in assembly? I have a question
2008-04-03 23:36 < xsillysteve> i can get into the secure
2008-04-03 23:36 < xsillysteve> i can get into other versions, like es., ko. etc.
2008-04-03 23:36 < SynergeticMag> assembly? lol
2008-04-03 23:36 < xsillysteve> the only one that never loads up is the en.
2008-04-03 23:37 < SynergeticMag> sorry, i haven't heard that in a while :)
2008-04-03 23:37 < apple> assembly language is awesome, just can't figure out this one part :/
2008-04-03 23:37 < SynergeticMag> why not let c or c++ handle the assembly?
2008-04-03 23:37 < SynergeticMag> (or any other)
2008-04-03 23:37 < apple> because it's an assembly class?
2008-04-03 23:37 < SynergeticMag> ah, good point
2008-04-03 23:37 < SynergeticMag> heh
2008-04-03 23:38 < SynergeticMag> Werdna: now what happens to the other archives on my talk page?
2008-04-03 23:38 < SynergeticMag> how can i clean those up to look more like werdna bots archival system?
2008-04-03 23:38 < uberpenguin> apple: assembly what?
2008-04-03 23:39 < apple> assembly language
2008-04-03 23:39 < apple> for computer programming
2008-04-03 23:39 < apple> what's the ascii value of the character generated when you press enter
2008-04-03 23:39 < uberpenguin> are you targetting an R3000, a M68k, UltraSPARC, a PIC, IA-32? what?
2008-04-03 23:39 < apple> masm32
2008-04-03 23:39 < SynergeticMag> apple: you can find that by doing a search, i have that one written down somewhere
2008-04-03 23:39 < SynergeticMag> but i know i cant fidn it
2008-04-03 23:39 < SynergeticMag> find*
2008-04-03 23:39 < uberpenguin> that's not a target, that's an assembler presumably
2008-04-03 23:40 < apple> yes
2008-04-03 23:40 < uberpenguin> and it depends on the keyboard controller
2008-04-03 23:40 < apple> it's an i86
2008-04-03 23:40 < SynergeticMag> ick thats right, you're using apple
2008-04-03 23:40 < SynergeticMag> n/m then
2008-04-03 23:40 < apple> or whatever the hell it's supposed to be considered, x86, i686...
2008-04-03 23:40 * SynergeticMag hisses
2008-04-03 23:40 < apple> it's an intel mac :/
2008-04-03 23:40 < apple> uberpenguin: well what are the possibilities?
2008-04-03 23:40 < Ceiling_Cat> MOAR KATZ?
2008-04-03 23:40 < SynergeticMag> bah
2008-04-03 23:40 < SynergeticMag> i hate mac
2008-04-03 23:41 * Ceiling_Cat plucks uberpenguin, glues fur, whiskers, and a tail on him
2008-04-03 23:41 < uberpenguin> but there are two characters usually associated with return in ASCII, 0x0A LF and 0x0D CR
2008-04-03 23:41 < uberpenguin> Ceiling_Cat: finish your thesis dude, it's starting to affect your brain
2008-04-03 23:42 < apple> I thought so too, but it doesn't recognize either of those
2008-04-03 23:42 < apple> do you know assembly?
2008-04-03 23:42 * uberpenguin hums *Ph.D. not for me!*
2008-04-03 23:42 < Ceiling_Cat> uberpenguin - can't. The advisor is at a conference in denver. I asked him to review the next chapter. He said he shouldn't need to tell me what he thinks should be fixed in order for me to fix them
2008-04-03 23:42 < Ceiling_Cat> oh, and my last runs on the MTA-2 killed it
2008-04-03 23:43 < Ceiling_Cat> the raid system crashed and probably won't be back up until next week
2008-04-03 23:43 < uberpenguin> I've written a bit for R3000 MIPS, some PICs, M68k, and a microarchitecture I invented for the sole purpose of being annoying
2008-04-03 23:43 < uberpenguin> not much IA-32, though a little IA-16 a long time ago
2008-04-03 23:43 < tobago> are those palm pilots?
2008-04-03 23:43 < uberpenguin> Ceiling_Cat: sounds like an ass, my sympathies
2008-04-03 23:44 < uberpenguin> the guy who would be my Ph.D. adviser is a hell of a lot nicer than that
2008-04-03 23:44 < apple> http://rafb.net/p/qQfRjk19.html
2008-04-03 23:44 < Ceiling_Cat> uberpenguin - he's very smart, very knowledgable, and he cares very much about producing good quality research papers and thesis
2008-04-03 23:44 < Ceiling_Cat> theses*
2008-04-03 23:44 < apple> it's not that complicated of stuff, but I can't get the damn thing to recognize the end of the line :/
2008-04-03 23:44 < uberpenguin> and an ego to boot?
2008-04-03 23:44 < Ceiling_Cat> Unfortunately, he does not have the kind of time that good advising requires
2008-04-03 23:45 < uberpenguin> you can be smart and capable without being utterly unhelpful, IMO
2008-04-03 23:45 < Ceiling_Cat> (oh, he's also very well connected - he's a *master* of social networking)
2008-04-03 23:45 < Ceiling_Cat> He got me a job with Tom Sterling this summer :)
2008-04-03 23:45 < tobago> you can always pull an essjay and write a fake thesis
2008-04-03 23:45 < tobago> or two
2008-04-03 23:45 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-04-03 23:45 < Ceiling_Cat> tobago - I have a story about that
2008-04-03 23:45 < Ceiling_Cat> Wanna hear?
2008-04-03 23:45 < tobago> yes
2008-04-03 23:46 < uberpenguin> well, I'll stop bashing your adviser since that isn't really nice
2008-04-03 23:46 < Ceiling_Cat> Ok, about 30 years ago, my mother worked at my university as a type-setter in the graduate office
2008-04-03 23:46 * uberpenguin is just thankful he works for nice people
2008-04-03 23:46 < Ceiling_Cat> her job was to review theses to make sure the didn't have typos, had the proper margin widths, followed the manual of style, etc
2008-04-03 23:47 < Ceiling_Cat> so one day she was reviewing this one thesis, and it was almost perfect, except the margins weren't properly spaced
2008-04-03 23:47 < SynergeticMag> they*
2008-04-03 23:47 < Ceiling_Cat> so she called the author's advisor (a guy in our chemistry department - which is one of the best in the world) and said that the guy needed to re-submit his thesis with the correct margin spaces and whatnot
2008-04-03 23:47 < xsillysteve> etc.*
2008-04-03 23:47 < SynergeticMag> obviously, typo fixing isn't inherited
2008-04-03 23:48 < Ceiling_Cat> The advisor had never heard of the guy (the author)
2008-04-03 23:48 < Ceiling_Cat> he *ran* to the grad office, *furious*
2008-04-03 23:48 < Ceiling_Cat> apparently the guy had faked everything
2008-04-03 23:48 < Ceiling_Cat> the whole thesis
2008-04-03 23:48 < Ceiling_Cat> the signatures
2008-04-03 23:48 < Ceiling_Cat> the bibliography
2008-04-03 23:48 < Ceiling_Cat> the whole thing
2008-04-03 23:49 < xsillysteve> lol
2008-04-03 23:49 < uberpenguin> that deserves points for effort
2008-04-03 23:49 < tobago> for what purpose?
2008-04-03 23:49 < Ceiling_Cat> and he was one correctly typeset margin away from getting his phd
2008-04-03 23:49 < xsillysteve> that's pretty bad
2008-04-03 23:49 < tobago> oh hah!
2008-04-03 23:49 < xsillysteve> what happened to him?
2008-04-03 23:49 < uberpenguin> Siberian gulag
2008-04-03 23:49 < Ceiling_Cat> He got a telegram informing him that they had given him an F in every class, rescinded his credits, and that he was no longer welcome on university grounds
2008-04-03 23:50 < tobago> so all you have to do is submit a dissertation to a graduate office and if you formatted it correctly, you get a 120,000$ education for free?
2008-04-03 23:50 < xsillysteve> holy
2008-04-03 23:50 < tobago> wow.
2008-04-03 23:50 < xsillysteve> that sucks
2008-04-03 23:50 < Ceiling_Cat> (Yes, this was back in telegram days)
2008-04-03 23:50 < tobago> so he was a student, just not a graduate student?
2008-04-03 23:50 < xsillysteve> goodbye 4+ years of education
2008-04-03 23:50 < Ceiling_Cat> he was a grad student, but without an advisor
2008-04-03 23:51 < Ceiling_Cat> (and if you don't have an advisor, you are a nobody)
2008-04-03 23:51 < tobago> im undergrad, and i guess i dont know the process
2008-04-03 23:51 < tobago> how do you get an advisor?
2008-04-03 23:51 < tobago> be super duper smart?
2008-04-03 23:51 < uberpenguin> perform sexual favors
2008-04-03 23:52 < xsillysteve> but you need a boobjob for that
2008-04-03 23:52 < uberpenguin> or just find a professor whose research you like and ask him
2008-04-03 23:52 < Ceiling_Cat> either before or after you apply to grad school, you find someone who shares your research intersts
2008-04-03 23:52 < Ceiling_Cat> (typically if you are coming in from another country, it's before; if you are in-country, it's after)
2008-04-03 23:52 < Ceiling_Cat> your money comes from his research grants
2008-04-03 23:52 < Ceiling_Cat> and you the work he asks you to do
2008-04-03 23:53 < tobago> ah i see. good to know
2008-04-03 23:53 < Ceiling_Cat> that work then constitutes your origial research
2008-04-03 23:53 < Werdna> joke of the day
2008-04-03 23:53 < Ceiling_Cat> which you use to write a masters or phd thesis
2008-04-03 23:53 < Werdna> How does Cyde go through a door that's too narrow for him?
2008-04-03 23:53 < Ral315_> Werdna: Not that ridiculous Cyde one.
2008-04-03 23:53 < Ceiling_Cat> typically, there's some lee-way in the work he's asking you to do
2008-04-03 23:53 * Ceiling_Cat boos pre-emptively
2008-04-03 23:53 < Werdna> he goes CydeWeys
2008-04-03 23:53 < Werdna> :D
2008-04-03 23:53 < tobago> i didnt know there were real PhD's on wikipedia, just fake ones : )
2008-04-03 23:54 < Werdna> :D
2008-04-03 23:54 < Ceiling_Cat> Werdna, Ral315, I have a much better (read: much more awful) joke
2008-04-03 23:54 < Werdna> tobago: ooh ouch
2008-04-03 23:54 < Werdna> Ceiling_Cat: go ahead
2008-04-03 23:54 < Ceiling_Cat> What kind of sex do 9 out of 10 people enjoy?
2008-04-03 23:54 < uberpenguin> the kind involving another person
2008-04-03 23:54 < Werdna> gang rape?
2008-04-03 23:54 < uberpenguin> Ceiling_Cat: what's your thesis title?
2008-04-03 23:54 < Ceiling_Cat> Gang rape
2008-04-03 23:54 < Ceiling_Cat> :)
2008-04-03 23:54 < Ral315_> Haha
2008-04-03 23:54 * Werdna slaps Ceiling_Cat
2008-04-03 23:54 < xsillysteve> ?
2008-04-03 23:54 < xsillysteve> ohhh.
2008-04-03 23:54 < Ral315_> I thought "oral sex", because 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
2008-04-03 23:54 < Werdna> Ceiling_Cat: What's the complement to a 30 degrees angle?
2008-04-03 23:54 < Ceiling_Cat> uberpenguin - A CASE STUDY OF THE MSTACK CROSS-PLATFORM BENCHMARK ON THE CRAY MTA-2
