2008-04-04 05:20 < Chetblong> hahahaha
2008-04-04 05:20 < SynergeticMag> By all means, go ahead and accuse me of having various time-wasting pursuits as my primary concern here. The proof will be in the pudding. Once we've deleted all this crap, will I stay or will I go? Hesperian 03:08, 2 April 2008

2008-04-04 05:32 < Mike_H> what was he on
2008-04-04 05:32 < Mike_H> some sitcom
2008-04-04 05:33 < Mike_H> Alan Hale Jr. (born Alan Hale Mackahan, March 8, 1921[1] ? January 2, 1990) was an American movie and television actor, best known for his role as the much beloved Skipper, Jonas Grumby, on the popular sitcom Gilligan's Island.
2008-04-04 05:33 < Mike_H> Ah, that's it.
2008-04-04 05:35 < bumm13> yeah
2008-04-04 05:35 < SynergeticMag> Coming to Wikipedia to social network is like joining a book club to play the bongo drums. You want to play the bongo drums, that's fine; we wouldn't dream of denying you your musical expression. We don't have a problem with you or your drums. But this is a book club, and your bongo drumming doesn't belong here. Go play outside.

2008-04-04 05:42 < Mike_H> * That's not what I meant, Caissa. Please be so kind as to let me speak for myself, rather than building yourself a straw man on the back of my comment. Hesperian 02:35, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

2008-04-04 05:42 < Mark_Ryan> Hesperian is actually pretty nice
2008-04-04 05:43 < Mark_Ryan> no wait, I've never met him. I was thinking of SatuSuro
2008-04-04 05:43 < Mike_H> If he's anything like this MFD discussion I'd never want to meet him in a dark alley without a cleaver.
2008-04-04 05:44 < Mike_H> I love it when people whine about creating an encyclopedia

2008-04-04 06:07 < Mike_H> Until, that is, Thursday night.
2008-04-04 06:07 < Mike_H> "I thought I was going to die," Greene said after a twister swept through Little Rock and many of its suburbs Thursday night. The National Weather Service said an unknown number of people were injured.

2008-04-04 06:39 * SynergeticMag just finished reading a tid bit of riana's rfb and found a useful link to kelly martin's blog
2008-04-04 06:39 < Chetblong|away> haha
2008-04-04 06:40 < Chetblong|away> SynergeticMag: did you vote in her RfB?
2008-04-04 06:40 < SynergeticMag> nope, i was still on wikibreak
2008-04-04 06:40 < bumm13> I remember when the Garfield and Friends cartoon was on TV in the late 80s and early 90s
2008-04-04 06:41 < nadis> Garfield ? That cat ?
2008-04-04 06:41 < SynergeticMag> well, not the president

2008-04-04 06:43 < Chetblong|away> O_O
2008-04-04 06:43 < NotACow> it really served to identify the people in the wikipedia community who put personal feuds ahead of the success of the project.
2008-04-04 06:43 * Chetblong|away was pinged by teh coffee
2008-04-04 06:44 < Chetblong|away> moo
2008-04-04 06:44 < Zach> bumm13: binky the clown?
2008-04-04 06:44 < SynergeticMag> NotACow: true, and its all a matter of herd mentality
2008-04-04 06:44 < NotACow> SynergeticMag: yup
2008-04-04 06:44 < SynergeticMag> which is why i don't mind going against the tide/herd
2008-04-04 06:44 < NotACow> SynergeticMag: just ignore the herd.
2008-04-04 06:45 < SynergeticMag> its not easy :)
2008-04-04 06:45 < NotACow> SynergeticMag: most of them don't edit anyway

2008-04-04 06:45 < NotACow> don't remember him
2008-04-04 06:45 < bumm13> and by about 1992-93, Garfield and Friends was mostly repeat shorts, IIRC

2008-04-04 06:46 < SynergeticMag> hes the type to leave an impression on you
2008-04-04 06:46 < bumm13> that's about the time the franchise really seemed to die

2008-04-04 06:57 < Werdna> and said "oh, I'll set it to start at archive 11"
2008-04-04 06:57 < SynergeticMag> no 4

2008-04-04 07:03 < bumm13> aww
2008-04-04 07:04 < bumm13> Mike_H: did I tell you that I once recorded "Easy Lover" and "Silent Running (On Deadly Ground)" by Mike and the Mechanics off the radio and onto a cassette tape?
2008-04-04 07:04 < bumm13> (when I was, like, 7)
2008-04-04 07:04 < Mike_H> Yeah, you did :DD
2008-04-04 07:04 < bumm13> :)
2008-04-04 07:04 < bumm13> I played it on my Fisher Price tape player ;)
2008-04-04 07:05 < bumm13> I think I remember most of the toys I had from 1987 on
2008-04-04 07:08 < Mike_H> :)
2008-04-04 07:08 < SynergeticMag> garbage pail kids(sp?)
2008-04-04 07:09 < bumm13> I didn't have as many toys as most kids, but I didn't exactly suffer
2008-04-04 07:10 < Mike_H> HARARE, Zimbabwe - Hundreds of veterans of Zimbabwe's guerrilla war for black rule marched through the capital Friday in an ominous sign that President Robert Mugabe might turn to intimidation and violence to stave off an electoral threat to his 28-year rule.
2008-04-04 07:10 < Mike_H> Leave it to Mugabe to stay classy.
2008-04-04 07:11 < bumm13> yeah :P
2008-04-04 07:11 < Mike5> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RyRy5/%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F
2008-04-04 07:11 < NotACow> hrm
2008-04-04 07:12 < NotACow> phc does a decent job of standardizing PHP at least
2008-04-04 07:12 < bumm13> wtf?
2008-04-04 07:12 < Mike_H> I don't understand why Mugabe wants another presidential term anyway.
2008-04-04 07:12 < Mike_H> He's close to death as it is.
2008-04-04 07:13 < Mike_H> What, nearly 30 years wasn't enough?
2008-04-04 07:13 < bumm13> he's batshit so it hardly matters what his rationale for actions is
2008-04-04 07:13 < Mike_H> HARARE (Reuters) - The leadership of Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF party met on Friday to decide whether President Robert Mugabe should contest a runoff vote against opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai.
2008-04-04 07:13 < Mike_H> Mugabe convened his politburo after the party lost control of parliament for the first time in 28 years, in the biggest setback of his rule.
2008-04-04 07:13 < Mike_H> apparently he said he would fight in a runoff. sigh.
2008-04-04 07:14 < bumm13> a self-declared runoff, naturally
2008-04-04 07:14 < NotACow> ooh! spiffy!
2008-04-04 07:14 < bumm13> yay for rule of law!
2008-04-04 07:14 < NotACow> this unparses string interpolations into plain code!
2008-04-04 07:14 < Werdna> bumm13: ... :P
2008-04-04 07:14 < Mike_H> bumm13: Well, a runoff is needed if the leading candidate doesn't get more than 50% of the vote
2008-04-04 07:14 < NotACow> TOTAL ROCKAGE!
2008-04-04 07:14 < Mike_H> but the thing is
2008-04-04 07:14 < Mike_H> national tallies haven't been released yet
2008-04-04 07:14 < Mike_H> although third parties say his opponent narrowly got that 50%.
2008-04-04 07:14 < Mike_H> With like 51 and some change.
2008-04-04 07:15 < NotACow> DEATH TO OPPONENTS!
2008-04-04 07:15 < Mike_H> and speaking of classy, Mugabe rigged the voting
2008-04-04 07:15 < bumm13> of course
2008-04-04 07:15 < Mike_H> in some villages, it was found out that the percentage of eligible voters turning out were at
2008-04-04 07:15 < Mike_H> 115%
2008-04-04 07:15 < bumm13> and it's still close, amazingly
2008-04-04 07:17 < Mike_H> all the major UK newspapers have predicted that Mugabe will win
2008-04-04 07:17 < Mike_H> but all the headlines go out of their way to say
2008-04-04 07:17 < Mike_H> "Mugabe fixes election for victory"
2008-04-04 07:18 < Mike_H> another headline says
2008-04-04 07:18 < Mike_H> Mugabe will declare a rigged victory
2008-04-04 07:18 < bumm13> well, gee
2008-04-04 07:18 < bumm13> it's no secret how all that works
2008-04-04 07:18 < Werdna> we could always assassinate him
2008-04-04 07:19 < bumm13> "we"?
2008-04-04 07:19 < bumm13> there usually has to be more to motivate such an operation besides "their country is ruled by a shithead"
2008-04-04 07:20 < bumm13> (some perceived benefit to those doing such an operation)
2008-04-04 07:20 < Mike_H> bumm13: You forget, Zimbabwe runs their foreign policy on a one note plan
2008-04-04 07:20 < Mike_H> "The Commonwealth can go fuck themselves"
2008-04-04 07:20 < bumm13> yeah, basically
2008-04-04 07:20 < Mike_H> usually just the UK
2008-04-04 07:20 < Werdna> Mike_H: one $1000000000000 note, because of the inflation
2008-04-04 07:20 < bumm13> heh
2008-04-04 07:20 < Mike_H> Werdna: rofl
2008-04-04 07:21 < bumm13> that buys 1/4 of a loaf of bread, right?
2008-04-04 07:21 < bumm13> (stale bread, at that)
2008-04-04 07:21 < Werdna> bumm13: so basically their military lives on half a loaf od stale bread per year :P
2008-04-04 07:21 < bumm13> I doubt that, somehow
2008-04-04 07:42 * ThePolecat reads Annex 1 to the Federal Directive on the Protection of Species
2008-04-04 07:42 < Werdna> whyy?
2008-04-04 07:44 < ThePolecat> it's fun, I learn of animals I never knew existed.
2008-04-04 07:44 < ThePolecat> for example the punkish Field Vole
2008-04-04 07:58 < Jonathunder> does anyone know the Latin word for "of" in the context of John (Iohannes) of Placename ?
2008-04-04 08:00 < ThePolecat> It's usually included in the place name itself
2008-04-04 08:00 < ThePolecat> like Iesus Nacarenus
2008-04-04 08:00 < Jonathunder> you decline the placename ending
2008-04-04 08:00 < Jonathunder> thanks, I was afraid that might be it
2008-04-04 08:00 < ThePolecat> ok :-)
2008-04-04 08:09 < Zach> FUCKING A
2008-04-04 08:09 < Zach> i share a birthday with britney spears' whore sister. :(
2008-04-04 08:10 < Werdna> hehe
2008-04-04 08:10 < eidolon> hrm. i found an article that goes into first person right in the middle of it. it sounds like a concert review, not information about style... should i just fix it, or just mark it for some Better Editor?
2008-04-04 08:11 < Zach> but i do share a birthday with Craig T. Nelson from "Coach" and Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks
2008-04-04 08:11 < Zach> i guess that's something.

2008-04-04 08:22 < eidolon> hazel mostly. sometimes deep brown.
2008-04-04 08:23 < Zach> those OLPCs, they are fully functional?
2008-04-04 08:24 < Zach> (like, could I run a DB server on an OLPC?)
2008-04-04 08:25 < eidolon> hah. no :)
2008-04-04 08:25 < eidolon> remember what they were designed for. children to network together and learn.
2008-04-04 08:25 < eidolon> they're not a db server :)
2008-04-04 08:25 < Zach> well i've never actually seen one before
2008-04-04 08:25 < Zach> i didn't know if they ran windows or something
2008-04-04 08:26 < Zach> some propriatory OS?
2008-04-04 08:26 < eidolon> they run linux :)
2008-04-04 08:26 < Zach> oh, well they could ''probably'' run some kind of server on there then ;P
2008-04-04 08:26 < eidolon> they're as opensource, open platform, green as you can get. totally non-proprietary top to bottom.
2008-04-04 08:26 < eidolon> they're only 400mghz, 512meg ram, and a 2 gig SSD drive. not a big server :)
2008-04-04 08:27 < Zach> hm, that's more ram than is running on my server box
2008-04-04 08:27 < Zach> only 128mb for 4 mediawikis, mysqld, mailer daemons etc.
2008-04-04 08:28 < Zach> i'm so stingy with my peripherals
2008-04-04 08:29 < WikiziA00> hi i have a question
2008-04-04 08:29 < snowolf> WikiziA00: go ahead
2008-04-04 08:29 < WikiziA00> somebody used my name to create a bullshit article

2008-04-04 08:30 < Zach> what is the article?
2008-04-04 08:30 < WikiziA00> i mean he or she created an article about me where they said i was gay
2008-04-04 08:30 < WikiziA00> etc.
2008-04-04 08:31 < WikiziA00> so i reported it, but now my name still stands on the website
2008-04-04 08:32 < eidolon> rapid deletion?
2008-04-04 08:38 < SynergeticMag> you have no idea how many people have reverted the penis article
2008-04-04 08:38 < Chetblong|away> O_O

2008-04-04 09:00 < G666RL> snowolf: how come I cannot save the make-up of Wikipedia pages? If i save a any wikipage, lets say en.wikipedia.org/wiki/stone and reopen it from my local pc, it looks like crap, like an 80s WWW page
2008-04-04 09:01 < gwern> Working_Cat: when I said he guaranteed employment, you can take that as meaning there's no way to mechanize mathematics in a completely satisfactory way; the various logical systems all have tradeoffs, and so you'll need human mathematicians to at least evaluate the tradeoffs, if not for actually doing stuff in the systems or devising new systems
2008-04-04 09:05 < Working_Cat> gwern: i have no friggin idea what you are talking about.
2008-04-04 09:05 < Working_Cat> oohhh Godel
