2008-04-06 21:43 < Lucifer_Cat> bumm13: i think the right usage would be "The then president of mexice"
2008-04-06 21:45 < Lucifer_Cat> mexico*
2008-04-06 21:45 < Lucifer_Cat> damn
2008-04-06 21:47 < Leslie_S> In 2008, former American president Bill Clinton refused to sign a bill that would have legalized a ton of drugs that are not ordinarily legal in other countries!
2008-04-06 21:47 < Leslie_S> lol
2008-04-06 21:48 < NotACow> Leslie_S: i would hope he would.
2008-04-06 21:48 < SWATJester> bback
2008-04-06 21:48 < Leslie_S> NotACow Like its gonna do anything if he signs a bill 8 years after the last time he was in office?
2008-04-06 21:48 < Leslie_S> lols
2008-04-06 21:49 < SWATJester> I think it would be "In 2006, then President Vicente Fox refused to...."
2008-04-06 21:49 < Messedrocker> then-President
2008-04-06 21:49 < Messedrocker> it has to be then-President
2008-04-06 21:49 < Leslie_S> In 2006, former president Bill Clinton refused to...
2008-04-06 21:49 * NotACow abuses her computer some more.
2008-04-06 21:49 < Leslie_S> <3
2008-04-06 21:50 < Lucifer_Cat> NotACow: rule 34?
2008-04-06 21:50 < Leslie_S> hey, so i remember a while back someone on irc told me that they were surprised that walmart still used SMART (Computerized inventory system, apparently from the 80s), and that it doesnt prevent accidental orders of ridiculous quantities of products...
2008-04-06 21:51 < Leslie_S> And just yesterday i found out about an incident at our store where the district grocery manager ordered 5 pallets of water. One of the store comanagers was incredibly pissed off when he found out that a truckload of water had pulled up to the dock.
2008-04-06 21:51 < Leslie_S> She ordered 25 pallets instead of 5 pallets...
2008-04-06 21:52 < Leslie_S> so hell, it was a couple of pallets *more* than a truckload....
2008-04-06 21:52 < Leslie_S> Is it just me, or is it worthwhile to use modern software for some corporate functions?
2008-04-06 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> whats a pallet
2008-04-06 21:53 < NotACow> Lucifer_Cat: a crappy bed
2008-04-06 21:53 < Leslie_S> Lucifer_Cat a skid.
2008-04-06 21:53 < bumm13> things that goods are stacked on
2008-04-06 21:53 < Leslie_S> NotACow LOL
2008-04-06 21:53 < Leslie_S> A pallet is like 4 feet by 4 feet usually.
2008-04-06 21:53 < NotACow> they vary in size
2008-04-06 21:53 < NotACow> i remember taking one and sawing it into stickers
2008-04-06 21:53 < Lucifer_Cat> lol ok got it
2008-04-06 21:53 < NotACow> that was fun
2008-04-06 21:53 < Leslie_S> They vary in size, but usually they are about 4 feet in one direction.
2008-04-06 21:54 < Lucifer_Cat> i was thinking pallet aint a unit i've ever heard of
2008-04-06 21:54 < Leslie_S> about 4 feet by 3 feet is pretty common.
2008-04-06 21:54 < NotACow> Leslie_S: ususally under 4x8 because that's the standard size of a sheet of OSB
2008-04-06 21:54 < Leslie_S> NotACow ive never seen a pallet that wasnt made of planks.
2008-04-06 21:55 < Leslie_S> The point is, it was a 53 foot semi trailer loaded with water.
2008-04-06 21:56 < Leslie_S> its like 50,000 pounds of water...
2008-04-06 21:56 < Cyrius> waste of energy
2008-04-06 21:56 < Leslie_S> Cyrius waste of a lot more than energy.
2008-04-06 21:56 < Messedrocker> why would you measure water in pounds
2008-04-06 21:56 < Cyrius> because you're loading a truck, which has to meet weight limits
2008-04-06 21:56 < Leslie_S> duh
2008-04-06 21:57 < Leslie_S> iirc, a truck can weigh less than 80,000 pounds legally.
2008-04-06 21:57 < Cyrius> depends on the truck
2008-04-06 21:57 < Cyrius> and the state
2008-04-06 21:57 < Leslie_S> I mean, a standard big one in michigan.
2008-04-06 21:57 < Leslie_S> you know, three axle tractor, two axle 53 foot trailer.
2008-04-06 21:58 < Leslie_S> 50,000 pounds was a wild guess, i know that a truck doesnt quite weigh 30,000 pounds... :P
2008-04-06 22:00 < bumm13> how many truck trailers does Texas allow?
2008-04-06 22:00 < NotACow> bumm13: three per foot
2008-04-06 22:00 < bumm13> :P
2008-04-06 22:01 < Cyrius> two
2008-04-06 22:01 < bumm13> ah
2008-04-06 22:01 < bumm13> just like Washington then
2008-04-06 22:01 < Cyrius> you can probably get a permit for special loads, obviously
2008-04-06 22:01 < bumm13> Oregon actually allows three
2008-04-06 22:01 < Cyrius> if texas allows three, I've never seen it
2008-04-06 22:04 < NotASpy> texas allows three wives ?
2008-04-06 22:04 < SWATJester> Not if you're warren jeffs
2008-04-06 22:05 < Leslie_S> Cyrius uhm, you can always get permits. but obviously walmart would rather split a load up onto two trucks than get a special permit, etc, to ship *WATER*
2008-04-06 22:05 < Monobi2> :O
2008-04-06 22:05 < Leslie_S> oh, hmm, i read it out of context.
2008-04-06 22:05 < Cyrius> no kidding
2008-04-06 22:05 < Leslie_S> But if you couldnt get special permits, you wouldnt be able to move houses like they do :P
2008-04-06 22:05 < Leslie_S> Or nuclear fuel rods.
2008-04-06 22:06 * NotACow steals Leslie_S's fuel rods
2008-04-06 22:06 < Leslie_S> around here, nuclear fuel rod shipments get a police escort, and they get into the news as "OMFG THEYRE DRIVING NUKES PAST YOUR HOUSE!", stirring up much unneccessary negative publicity
2008-04-06 22:07 < SWATJester> 20 bucks says those shipments are empty
2008-04-06 22:07 < Leslie_S> SWATJester the fuel rods?
2008-04-06 22:07 < SWATJester> and the real rods are shipped 3 days later in a beater pickup truck
2008-04-06 22:07 < Leslie_S> SWATJester LOL
2008-04-06 22:07 < Leslie_S> nice
2008-04-06 22:08 < Leslie_S> arent the rods a lot bigger than that though?
2008-04-06 22:08 < NotASpy> all the nuclear stuff is shipped via rail in Britain
2008-04-06 22:08 < bumm13> speaking of polygamy, Texas' welfare agency just removed 52 young women from a former ranch where Warren Jeffers' polygamist LDS sect had them relocated to
2008-04-06 22:08 < SWATJester> Holt shit
2008-04-06 22:08 < Leslie_S> NotASpy that sounds incredibly scary..
2008-04-06 22:08 < Rinn> They have railways across the Atlantic?
2008-04-06 22:08 < NotACow> nathan holt?
2008-04-06 22:09 < NotASpy> Leslie_S: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtRZ_k0s7M
2008-04-06 22:09 < Leslie_S> NotASpy around here, if you ship something in a truck with police escort, people get the hell out of the way. but people always run railroad crossings etc.
2008-04-06 22:09 < SWATJester> I didn't know that Lions for Lambs was about Neil Roberts
2008-04-06 22:09 < bumm13> *Warren Jeffs
2008-04-06 22:10 < Leslie_S> NotACow that video even says the rig was rigged
2008-04-06 22:10 < Rinn> It was a rigged rig indeed.
2008-04-06 22:10 < NotACow> Leslie_S: what video?
2008-04-06 22:10 < Leslie_S> i meant NotASpy
2008-04-06 22:10 < Leslie_S> and this video: [22:09] <NotASpy> Leslie_S: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtRZ_k0s7M
2008-04-06 22:11 < Leslie_S> and i love how many times they say rubbish in that video
2008-04-06 22:11 < NotASpy> the train was completely standard, nothing tampered with.
2008-04-06 22:12 < Leslie_S> NotASpy how do you know?
2008-04-06 22:12 < Rinn> NotASpy secretly built it!
2008-04-06 22:12 < NotASpy> the claims made by Greenpeace were quietly dropped within days of being made.
2008-04-06 22:13 < Leslie_S> NotASpy Oh. Well, see, I'm American, and intelligent. I'm quite used to a government who quite often does shit like that.
2008-04-06 22:13 < Leslie_S> They're always trying to pull something over on us
2008-04-06 22:13 < NotASpy> ah, we're British, they were as proud as punch over their engineering (both the train and the flask) so they wanted to show off.
2008-04-06 22:14 < Leslie_S> NotACow i saw a similar video once, of an american reactor containment building being hit by whatever the biggest passenger aircraft available at the time was, to prove that a 9/11 style terrorist attack wont hurt a nuclear plant
2008-04-06 22:14 < NotACow> that video looks about what i'd expect
2008-04-06 22:15 < NotACow> the train hit the canister and went airborne because the canister took the blow
2008-04-06 22:15 < Leslie_S> To be honest, i have to wonder if there are other, more vulnerable parts of a nuclear power plant.
2008-04-06 22:15 < NotACow> Leslie_S: you'd do more damage by hitting the cooling towers
2008-04-06 22:15 < Leslie_S> NotACow thats what i was thinking. but would it do real damage?
2008-04-06 22:16 < NotACow> Leslie_S: it would probably destroy the cooling tower, and idle the plant
2008-04-06 22:16 < Leslie_S> NotACow but i know that our power company is capable of giving us power even with all reactors completely shut down, so ...heh.
2008-04-06 22:16 < NotACow> Leslie_S: and they'd have to scram the reactor because of the loss of secondary cooling water
2008-04-06 22:16 < Leslie_S> NotACow so at our plant, youd have to release major radiation to really hurt anything.
2008-04-06 22:17 < Leslie_S> NotACow or actually, maybe they would just do this attack on the hottest day of the year, when everyones blasting their air conditioning, causing major blackouts in the local area?
2008-04-06 22:17 < NotACow> Leslie_S: maybe
2008-04-06 22:17 < Leslie_S> id have to assume that the power company wouldnt be running that plant if they were capable of providing us power without it, during the highest energy usage times.
2008-04-06 22:18 < OverlordQ> well theres this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB4IEa7jTJw
2008-04-06 22:18 < quanticle> Even if you hit the cooling towers, the plant has enough coolant built into the system to shutdown the reactors in a controlled fashion.
2008-04-06 22:18 < OverlordQ> F4 hitting a 10 foot concrete wall
2008-04-06 22:18 < NotACow> Leslie_S: the total radiation released from nuclear energy plants in the United States in the history of nuclear power generation is like the equivalent of 70 chest x-rays
2008-04-06 22:18 < Leslie_S> quanticle isnt a scram a controlled fashion?
2008-04-06 22:18 < Leslie_S> NotACow it would have been more if three mile island happened a couple of hours earlier.
2008-04-06 22:19 < bumm13> they've been extremely safe
2008-04-06 22:19 < OverlordQ> oh wait, here we go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--_RGM4Abv8
2008-04-06 22:19 < Leslie_S> the only reason that total meltdown at three mile island was avoided was because first shift came in.
2008-04-06 22:19 < Leslie_S> It only happened because the coffee maker was broken, and it was third shift.
2008-04-06 22:19 < NotACow> Leslie_S: i'm not convinced of that
2008-04-06 22:19 < bumm13> they actually built a nuclear plant in western Washington than never produced a single watt of energy
2008-04-06 22:19 < bumm13> *that
2008-04-06 22:20 < Leslie_S> NotACow seriously though, the incident started during third shift. it ended on either first or second (i dont remember which). Also, i made up the broken coffee maker thing, but they had all kinds of less useful warning lights on at the console, masking the really really major ones. (things like the elevator being broken)
2008-04-06 22:21 < Leslie_S> NotACow and it was realllly close to total meltdown (they sent a remotely operated submersible into the reactor to examine the fuel rods many years later, and found that they were partially melted)
2008-04-06 22:21 < NotACow> Leslie_S: even if it had completely melted it's still unlikely that it would have violated the containment vessel
2008-04-06 22:21 < bumm13> http://www.nukeworker.com/nuke_facilities/North_America/usa/NRC_Facilities/Region_4/wnp/satsop/
2008-04-06 22:22 < Leslie_S> NotACow also, im wondering if your figure of 70 chest xrays includes the first peacetime nuclear accident, at the first nuclear power plant, which was out in area 51 and therefore didnt hurt anyone except the workers at the plant (they all got killed because the control rods were pulled all the way out)
2008-04-06 22:22 < NotACow> TMI taught some highly valuable engieering vessels
2008-04-06 22:22 < bumm13> it was a big government funding fiasco
2008-04-06 22:22 < NotACow> Leslie_S: that wasn't commercial nuclear generation
2008-04-06 22:22 < Leslie_S> NotACow yes, but it was nuclear power generation, and was a nuclear power accident.
2008-04-06 22:22 < NotACow> Leslie_S: that was an army experimental reactor
2008-04-06 22:22 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Well, more controlled than a SCRAM.
2008-04-06 22:23 < Ceiling_Cat> MAOR KATZ!
2008-04-06 22:23 < Leslie_S> quanticle and are you sure about that?
2008-04-06 22:23 < Leslie_S> quanticle to be honest, it would probably still cause blackouts if done on the hottest day of the summer.
2008-04-06 22:23 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Not even the entire first shift. The third shift guys called one of the off-duty first shift managers, and he came in and diagnosed the issue with the stuck valve
2008-04-06 22:24 < denelson83> If it's so hot, then the Sun would be out, so why not go solar?
2008-04-06 22:24 < Leslie_S> denelson83 because we dont have commercial solar generation in my area. just nuclear and conventional generation.
2008-04-06 22:24 < Leslie_S> denelson83 and some people, like me, live in an apartment where they arent allowed to put up massive solar panels
2008-04-06 22:24 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Yeah. Reactors have a 3-stage cooling system. The cooling towers are in stage three. There's enough coolant in stage 1 (the reactor core coolant) and stage 2 (the working fluid driving the turbines) to shutdown the reactor.
2008-04-06 22:24 < Leslie_S> quanticle oh, really?
2008-04-06 22:25 < gwern> hm. I got some nice pictures when I visited disney world, but so many of them are ruined by blur
2008-04-06 22:25 < denelson83> Then borrow the money to build a commercial solar plant, and it'll pay for itself
2008-04-06 22:25 < Leslie_S> quanticle still, if it was a couple hours earlier, he would have been too tired to know what the deal was.
2008-04-06 22:25 < gwern> my next camera, I'll definitely invest in whatever the heck will compensate for my unsteady hand...
2008-04-06 22:25 < denelson83> Oh that's right, there's a credit crunch in effect, so you can't borrow
2008-04-06 22:25 < Ceiling_Cat> Have you had your cat today?
2008-04-06 22:25 < Leslie_S> denelson83 i wish i could. how would i try to pull that one off?
2008-04-06 22:26 < denelson83> Just say a [[Malthusian catastrophe]] will happen if it's not built
2008-04-06 22:26 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Yeah, see the book, "Inviting Disaster," by James R. Chiles.
2008-04-06 22:26 < Leslie_S> denelson83 to be honest, the ideal plant would be solar and wind. then youd pretty much be making power all the time. (if its cloudy its usually windy. and hell, its quite often windy and sunny)
2008-04-06 22:26 < bumm13> http://ln-s.net/1mTC <-- good picture of the Satsop plant
2008-04-06 22:28 < Ceiling_Cat> MAOR KATZ?
2008-04-06 22:28 < Leslie_S> quanticle at the cooling towers, is there any of the radioactive water?
2008-04-06 22:28 < Leslie_S> there is, right?
2008-04-06 22:28 < quanticle> Leslie_S: The other thing is that the manager who came in to fix the problem, Brian Mehler, wasn't even supposed to be working on Unit 2 (the one that melted down) that day. Its just that he had worked on Unit 2 the day before...
2008-04-06 22:28 < Leslie_S> quanticle nice
2008-04-06 22:28 < SWATJester> bigbadaboom
2008-04-06 22:29 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Nope. Only the reactor core coolant is radioactive. Even the water that goes through the turbines isn't radioactive.
2008-04-06 22:29 < Leslie_S> quanticle so is the only radioactive water in the containment building?
2008-04-06 22:29 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Yep.
2008-04-06 22:29 < Leslie_S> quanticle so its pretty much immune to terrorist attacks.
2008-04-06 22:29 < quanticle> Yeah.
2008-04-06 22:29 < Leslie_S> quanticle and our power plant has guards armed with quite excessive guns...
2008-04-06 22:30 < quanticle> Yep. The only way to leak radioactive material would be to walk up to the reactor's containment building, and start messing with valves.
2008-04-06 22:30 < quanticle> brb, dinner
2008-04-06 22:30 < Leslie_S> I feel like i should drive down to the nuke plant tomorrow and take cool pictures
2008-04-06 22:31 < Leslie_S> I'm not sure how close i can get to it, but i know you can see hte cooling towers from the road, so i should be able to get cool pics
2008-04-06 22:34 < jaja911> hello?

2008-04-06 22:52 < Xihix> Amidaniel
2008-04-06 22:52 < Xihix> I saw some weird Russian website talking about it like two weeks ag

2008-04-06 22:53 < Xihix> The Russian site said the strike would happen at night on either the 4th or the 6th
2008-04-06 22:53 < Xihix> and what do you know... It's the 6th
2008-04-06 22:54 < amidaniel> Yeah, they're full of it
2008-04-06 22:54 < Xihix> I hope so.
2008-04-06 23:05 < FastKitty4> wth?

2008-04-06 23:17 < Leslie_S> how come africa was never fully pwned by europe?
2008-04-06 23:19 < Catzrthecoolest> hello...
2008-04-06 23:19 < Arwen> Leslie_S, lol what?
2008-04-06 23:19 < Arwen> it was
2008-04-06 23:20 < Arwen> why do you think they're a backwards continent? The Europeans turned all of them into slaves for a few generations.
2008-04-06 23:26 < Chetblong> O_O
2008-04-06 23:37 < Jmo> butt.

2008-04-06 23:53 < Leslie_S> WTF?
2008-04-06 23:54 < Leslie_S> Arwen uh, i mean, why isnt the entire continent of africa colonized by europeans, like america?
2008-04-06 23:54 < Arwen> because it's not worth living there?
2008-04-06 23:55 < Leslie_S> Arwen why?
2008-04-06 23:55 < Leslie_S> only blacks can deal with the heat?
2008-04-06 23:55 < Arwen> dunno, it mostly being desert doesn't help
2008-04-06 23:55 < Arwen> and there's the AIDS
2008-04-06 23:55 < Leslie_S> Arwen There are extensive deserts in the americas, and its pretty much 100% colonized, except for the more northernly deserts (the tundra)
2008-04-06 23:56 < Leslie_S> Arwen there wasnt aids in the 1700s..
2008-04-07 00:07 < Lucifer_Cat> Arwen: cuz 40% of it was thick dense jungles... and 40% was dry severe desert.

2008-04-07 00:49 < yao_ziyuan> washing your LCD screen is a pleasure
2008-04-07 01:07 < Ceiling_Cat> I love how, on bugzilla, if you file a bug with the highest priority ('blocker') it turns angry red
2008-04-07 01:07 < Ceiling_Cat> those bugs scream 'fix me now!'
2008-04-07 01:08 < Ceiling_Cat> [I should also note those are pretty rare - I've only ever filed one, and that's almost certainly more than most]
2008-04-07 01:09 < MZMcBride> Heh. People file them all the time. They're just never actual blockers. ;)
2008-04-07 01:09 < MZMcBride> "Help! I can't edit my wiki!"
2008-04-07 01:10 < Ceiling_Cat> ok, fine, legitimate blockers ;)
2008-04-07 01:16 < Ceiling_Cat> It looks like a gay day at wikipedia
2008-04-07 01:16 < Ceiling_Cat> It looks like a gay day at Wikipedia. Not only do they acknowledge the Oscar Wilde trial as one of the events that happpened on this day (in 1895) but the featured article is Celine Dion.
2008-04-07 01:16 < Ceiling_Cat> -- http://vamapper.livejournal.com/159846.html
2008-04-07 01:17 < Ceiling_Cat> we're gonna hit 2000 featured articles something in the next 10 days
2008-04-07 01:17 < MZMcBride> Does that go in the Main Page banner?
2008-04-07 01:17 < Ceiling_Cat> No
2008-04-07 01:18 < Ceiling_Cat> wouldn't it be great if the 2000th FA is a legitimate acdaemic article? :P
2008-04-07 01:18 < MZMcBride> You mean a Pokémon character?
2008-04-07 01:18 < Ceiling_Cat> Oort cloud, or prague spring are both on the FAC right now
2008-04-07 01:18 < Ceiling_Cat> I'd be happy with either

2008-04-07 01:20 < Ceiling_Cat> Moderately sleepy
2008-04-07 01:20 < Ceiling_Cat> You?
2008-04-07 01:20 < Ceiling_Cat> Wow
2008-04-07 01:20 < Ceiling_Cat> Mark Penn quit clinton's campaign

2008-04-07 01:21 < Xihix> Sleepy though.
2008-04-07 01:23 < Xihix> Well, I'm probably going to sleep.
2008-04-07 01:23 < Xihix> I'll see you later guys...

2008-04-07 03:24 < cimon> Appleboy: we had two cops jimmy our cars trunk and then break through the rear window plateau, to get some car keys left in the ignition, at New York airport, when I was about 4-5 years old...
2008-04-07 03:25 < cimon> the cops were very nice about it, but my dad was red as a beet

2008-04-07 04:55 < Luke> I've found a link on wikipedia that has changed but I cant update it because I dont have permissions to. It's "semiprotected" i think
2008-04-07 04:55 < Luke> can anyone update that for me?
2008-04-07 04:58 < nokmar> wher?
2008-04-07 04:58 < nokmar> *where?
2008-04-07 05:03 < Luke> nokmar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_people#cite_note-9
2008-04-07 05:03 < Luke> nokmar: you can follow the redirect to see where it should link
2008-04-07 05:03 < Luke> oh actually it 404's
2008-04-07 05:04 < Luke> nokmar: should point to this: http://humani.st/asians-and-natural-language-evolution/
2008-04-07 05:06 < nokmar> and done
2008-04-07 05:06 < nokmar> if you get an account, you can do it yourself =P
2008-04-07 05:06 < Luke> thanks
2008-04-07 05:07 < Luke> i have an account. still cant access it for some reason?
2008-04-07 05:07 < nokmar> you need 50 edits, I think
2008-04-07 05:07 < Luke> ah ok
2008-04-07 05:07 < Luke> i just joined today when I noticed someone linked to my old url =)
2008-04-07 05:08 < snowolf> nokmar: uh? 50 edits for what?
2008-04-07 05:08 < nokmar> to edit semi-protected pages?
2008-04-07 05:08 < snowolf> no, it's 4 days
2008-04-07 05:09 < nokmar> maybe I'm too old or have smoked too much pot
2008-04-07 05:36 < Lady_Aleena> Is there anyone here who cares about user categories for genre and media?
2008-04-07 05:37 < Cyrius> not me
2008-04-07 05:50 < atmishere> Hi all
2008-04-07 05:50 < atmishere> I want to discuss about Relativity.
2008-04-07 05:51 < Cyrius> what about it?
2008-04-07 05:51 < Lady_Aleena> That is a heavy subject depending.
2008-04-07 05:52 < atmishere> what is relativity's current application?
2008-04-07 05:52 < atmishere> ;)
2008-04-07 05:53 < Lady_Aleena> It's all relative. :)
2008-04-07 05:53 < Werdna> relativity is applied in some space stuff
2008-04-07 05:54 < Cyrius> GPS would not work without an understanding of relativity
2008-04-07 05:54 < atmishere> cant we apply it to real life, like chatting???
2008-04-07 05:54 < Werdna> for instance, GPS satellites take into account time dilation when calculating positions etc
2008-04-07 05:54 < atmishere> woh...:O
2008-04-07 05:55 < Werdna> it's also applied a lot in particle physics
2008-04-07 05:55 < Werdna> and one of the great unsolved problems in physics is to do with reconciling relativity (which works very well for very big things) and quantum physics (which works very well for very small things)
2008-04-07 05:56 < atmishere> could you please explain a little about recounciling relativity..I haven't heard of it
2008-04-07 05:57 < Cyrius> there's basically a theory for stuff that's really small (quantum physics) and a theory for stuff that's really big (relativity)
2008-04-07 05:57 < Cyrius> and physicists haven't figured out how to make them into one theory
2008-04-07 05:57 < Cyrius> (that's not quite right, but it's close enough for IRC)
2008-04-07 05:58 < atmishere> wow....
2008-04-07 05:58 < Cyrius> it's the great unsolved problem of physics
2008-04-07 05:59 < Lady_Aleena> I could discuss the episode "Relativity" on Stargate.
2008-04-07 06:00 < Cyrius> reality is weird enough without bringing in fiction =)
2008-04-07 06:01 < Lady_Aleena> Oh, why not? Relativity the scientific subject has been beaten to submission.
2008-04-07 06:01 < Lady_Aleena> IMO anyway.
2008-04-07 06:02 < atmishere> A Krazzy ques....? how can we relate relativity to now a days computing technology
2008-04-07 06:03 < Cyrius> doesn't really have much application there
2008-04-07 06:03 < Cyrius> that's a quantum mechanics problem
2008-04-07 06:03 < Werdna> Lady_Aleena: what do you mean?
2008-04-07 06:04 < Lady_Aleena> Werdna: The Theory has been around for a while...hasn't it been discussed enough? How much more is there?
2008-04-07 06:04 < AdamBishop> you can never discuss anything enough
2008-04-07 06:05 < AdamBishop> this is the basis of all social science, and presumably all science
2008-04-07 06:05 < Cyrius> you _can_ discuss something enough, but this was more educating than discussing
2008-04-07 06:06 < Lady_Aleena> Ah....
2008-04-07 06:06 < JessicaTaylor> Hello people
2008-04-07 06:08 < HumbertHumbert> Why does not Doodie.com have a Wikipedia article? It is more than notable.
2008-04-07 06:09 < HumbertHumbert> Is it just me, or did the Wikipedia background just go less quality since yesterday?
2008-04-07 06:11 < Lady_Aleena> HH: Never heard of that website.
2008-04-07 06:12 < Cyrius> you again?
2008-04-07 06:12 < atmishere> woo
2008-04-07 06:12 < HumbertHumbert> Lady_Aleena: It's been around for over 10 years...
2008-04-07 06:12 < HumbertHumbert> And on TV etc.
2008-04-07 06:13 < AdamBishop> all websites are unotable
2008-04-07 06:13 < Cyrius> especially wikipedia
2008-04-07 06:13 < AdamBishop> yes
2008-04-07 06:14 < AdamBishop> Wikipedia's articles about other language Wikipedias are especially annoying
2008-04-07 06:14 < Lady_Aleena> Adam: Not all of them.
2008-04-07 06:14 * Lady_Aleena hopes her proposal is accepted.
2008-04-07 06:15 < Mike_H> The Neapolitan Wikipedia (Wikipedia napulitana) is the Neapolitan language version of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. As of 2008, it has over 12,600 articles with real content, of total 22,000 pages, and over 660 registered users, of which 5 are administrators.[1]
2008-04-07 06:15 < AdamBishop> mmm, neapolitan
2008-04-07 06:16 * Lady_Aleena could use an outside observer for the proposed guideline.
2008-04-07 06:18 < kmccoy> Hey, Mike...
2008-04-07 06:32 < Lubaf> Boy, Wikileaks is about as stable as drunk kitten.
2008-04-07 06:33 < Lubaf> And has as much uptime as Sunny von Bulow.
2008-04-07 06:33 < Luna-San> People are threatening to sue 'em left and right, to boot.
2008-04-07 06:33 < HumbertHumbert> "all websites are unotable" <-- What the hell are you talking about?
2008-04-07 06:34 < JessicaTaylor> Well I think you can't ote those websites
2008-04-07 06:34 < Tricky> lady aleena whats ur proposal
2008-04-07 06:40 < NotACow> moo
2008-04-07 06:41 * Mike_H pets NotACow
2008-04-07 06:41 < HumbertHumbert> JessicaTaylor: ?
2008-04-07 06:42 < JessicaTaylor> Its called a joke...gosh
2008-04-07 06:42 < JessicaTaylor> Its a lame one but its still a joke -.-
2008-04-07 06:42 * NotACow throws a potato at Mike_H
2008-04-07 06:42 < HumbertHumbert> That wasn't a joke. It was a sentence that didn't make sense.
2008-04-07 06:42 < Mike_H> NotACow: I wanted wedges
2008-04-07 06:42 < HumbertHumbert> Why does not Doodie.com have a Wikipedia article? It is more than notable.
2008-04-07 06:42 < NotACow> Mike_H: hire a samurai :)
2008-04-07 06:42 < Mike_H> HumbertHumbert: Because you didn't write it?
2008-04-07 06:42 < Mike_H> Go write it.
2008-04-07 06:43 < NotACow> HumbertHumbert: websites are not notable unless they get more traffic than wikipedia.
2008-04-07 06:43 < Mike_H> NotACow: :o
2008-04-07 06:43 * Mike_H goes to delete [[omg!]]
2008-04-07 06:43 < HumbertHumbert> Only trolls on IRC these days... never any good answers.
2008-04-07 06:43 < Mike_H> What the fuck?
2008-04-07 06:44 < Mike_H> How was "go write the article" not a good answer?
2008-04-07 06:44 < Mike_H> Were we supposed to whine with him over a cup of coffee about the unfairness of it all?
2008-04-07 06:44 < atmishere> gvgvg
2008-04-07 06:44 < Mike_H> My name isn't Alice fucking Horton
2008-04-07 06:44 < atmishere> sorry
2008-04-07 06:44 < atmishere> really
2008-04-07 06:44 < atmishere> ?
2008-04-07 06:44 < atmishere> ;)
2008-04-07 06:44 < AdamBishop> I am afriad to visit doodie.com
2008-04-07 06:45 < Cyrius> it's not that bad
2008-04-07 06:45 < Cyrius> wouldn't visit it at work though
2008-04-07 06:46 < Luna-San> "Only trolls on IRC these days" funny he should say that.
2008-04-07 06:46 < JessicaTaylor> I...am a troll
2008-04-07 06:46 < Luna-San> :o

2008-04-07 06:47 < Mike_H> The359: Is that Humbert guy Catnip96/Bluuu?
2008-04-07 06:54 < cimon> Why is it that every time they have me on the ropes, they quit?
2008-04-07 06:55 < Luna-San> They have mercy.
2008-04-07 06:55 < cimon> aye
2008-04-07 06:55 < Luna-San> At that last, critical second, they realize it would be too cruel to finish you in your own home.
2008-04-07 06:56 < cimon> nah
2008-04-07 06:57 < cimon> it'd be fine to call me on the level, my hom incudeld
2008-04-07 06:58 < cimon> they just don't have the rite tool.
2008-04-07 06:59 < JessicaTaylor> lol...
2008-04-07 06:59 < JessicaTaylor> I thought the troll was UNDER the bridge
2008-04-07 06:59 < JessicaTaylor> What was that story called
2008-04-07 06:59 < JessicaTaylor> something about hoarse goats
2008-04-07 07:00 < NotACow> the trolls own the bridge.
2008-04-07 07:01 < Luna-San> cimon: Is the right tool a [[Captive bolt pistol]]?
2008-04-07 07:01 * Luna-San pays the troll toll
2008-04-07 07:05 < JessicaTaylor> Its called the billy goats gruff!
2008-04-07 07:05 < JessicaTaylor> or was it three billy goats gruff

2008-04-07 07:10 < kmccoy> Hey, NotACow...
2008-04-07 07:22 < nsh> fuck's sake
2008-04-07 07:22 < nsh> it really makes me not want to read nature articles when the front page has the headline: 'Ruthelessness gene' discovered
2008-04-07 07:22 < nsh> fucking tabloid rag
2008-04-07 07:22 < Qst> ...

2008-04-07 07:24 < Aqwis> hrrr
2008-04-07 07:24 < Aqwis> ok
2008-04-07 07:24 < atmishere> f**k is a bad word it is not to be used in such an open community isn't? What's everybody's opinion...
2008-04-07 07:26 < Aqwis> fuck is probably not the ideal word to use in most situations but you're not going to get someone banned for using it..
2008-04-07 07:26 < nsh> opinion: you're an idiot
2008-04-07 07:26 < Qst> Nsh: Please, don't insult us
2008-04-07 07:26 < Aqwis> hrrr
2008-04-07 07:26 * nsh raises an eyebrow
2008-04-07 07:26 < nsh> what are you, conjoined irc-twins?
2008-04-07 07:26 < Qst> You come here and start swearing when the channel has been quiet, and then start calling Aqwis an idiot

2008-04-07 07:52 < atmishere> hi kanjy
2008-04-07 07:53 < Kanjy> atmishere: hello!
2008-04-07 07:53 < atmishere> kanjy:where are you from,India?
2008-04-07 07:54 < Kanjy> I live in Japan. And I'm mainly active at Ja.Wp.
2008-04-07 07:54 < toresbe> nihonjin desu ka?
2008-04-07 07:54 < Kanjy> Hai, watakushi wa nihonjin desu.
2008-04-07 07:55 < toresbe> watakushi wa nooruwei-jin desu. Hajimemashite. :)
2008-04-07 07:55 < toresbe> Japanese is such a fantastic language. I'm making a half-assed effort to learn it.
2008-04-07 07:55 < arcimboldo_> 僕は外国人です。
2008-04-07 07:55 < toresbe> This terminal doesn't chew Unicode very well.
2008-04-07 07:56 < atmishere> kanjy:Wat's the news there?
2008-04-07 07:56 < toresbe> yoshi. I have to get going.
2008-04-07 07:56 * toresbe was given, oh, one day's warning to videograph a quite large conference.
2008-04-07 07:57 < atmishere> kanjy:could you use English so that I could understand
2008-04-07 07:57 < atmishere> :)
2008-04-07 07:57 < atmishere> ;)
2008-04-07 07:58 < Kanjy> We, Ja.Wp, do not have enough sysops. A year ago, we have around 40 sysops.
2008-04-07 07:58 < Kanjy> But,
2008-04-07 07:58 < atmishere> kanjy:oh ho..., but...
2008-04-07 07:58 < Kanjy> recently, we have 60 sysops.
2008-04-07 07:59 < atmishere> knajy:I got interested in your name.It has a meaning of "food" in our native language ;)
2008-04-07 08:00 < Kanjy> :)
2008-04-07 08:00 < atmishere> ok wat about sysoops
2008-04-07 08:00 < atmishere> ???
2008-04-07 08:03 < Kanjy> We, sysop (admin) users, had to work heavyly to fight vandalism, deletion requests, etc. Recently, our loads are getting lighter.
2008-04-07 08:04 < Kanjy> However, we have to continue recruiting new sysops.
2008-04-07 08:05 < Kanjy> It's interesting that my name is like a food.
2008-04-07 08:06 < Kanjy> I'm so hungry. Now I go out to have supper.
2008-04-07 08:07 * arcimboldo_ は味噌を食べている。
2008-04-07 08:07 < Kanjy> soy paste? :)
2008-04-07 08:07 < arcimboldo_> fluid soy paste ...
2008-04-07 08:08 < Kanjy> I'm getting hungry and hungry.
2008-04-07 08:08 < Lycurgus> why does [[Randy Pausch]] say that he was the creator of the ALICE bot?
2008-04-07 08:09 < Lycurgus> is he an alter-ego for Richard Wallace?
2008-04-07 08:09 < Lycurgus> oh, I see it's not the bot.
2008-04-07 08:09 < Werdna> oh look, Arria
2008-04-07 08:11 < Arria> Hi Werdna

2008-04-07 09:02 < Lycurgus> i suppose they did that to mitigage the stench of death
2008-04-07 09:03 < bumm13> hiya Mark_Ryan
2008-04-07 09:03 < Lycurgus> *mitigate
2008-04-07 09:03 < Mark_Ryan> hi bumm13, how goes it
2008-04-07 09:04 < bumm13> good :)
2008-04-07 09:06 < Lycurgus> confirmed. The article mentions it but doesn't give it a name. Perhaps it doesn't have one in English. Although the plague reached England, that practice might not have.
2008-04-07 09:11 < Lycurgus> yes, stfw indicates it was just called a mask.
2008-04-07 09:11 < Lycurgus> in any lang.
2008-04-07 09:13 < Mark_Ryan> stfw? safe the f*ck work?
2008-04-07 09:13 < Mark_Ryan> shut the for work?
2008-04-07 09:13 < Lycurgus> search(ing in this case) the fucking web
2008-04-07 09:14 < NotACow> shut the fuck wup?
2008-04-07 09:14 < Mark_Ryan> ahh
2008-04-07 09:14 < NotACow> heh
2008-04-07 09:14 * Mark_Ryan is about a year behind the new trends in net-speak
2008-04-07 09:15 < NotACow> Mark_Ryan: i still haven't gotten the hang of these newfangled anime-eyes
2008-04-07 09:15 < Lycurgus> O_o
2008-04-07 09:15 < NotACow> yeah those
2008-04-07 09:15 < NotACow> i have no idea what they mean
2008-04-07 09:16 < NotACow> except "I watch too much Japanese TV"
2008-04-07 09:16 < Mark_Ryan> I rather like o.o
2008-04-07 09:17 < Mark_Ryan> at least it has a nose.
2008-04-07 09:17 < RichiH> so does o_o ;)
2008-04-07 09:17 < RichiH> an ugly one, though
2008-04-07 09:17 < Lycurgus> that one was me looking at you to my left
2008-04-07 09:17 < RichiH> NotACow: it is just the cool, not really new any more thing
2008-04-07 09:30 < Leslie_S> heh, spring is here
2008-04-07 09:30 < Leslie_S> i turned my heaters off yesterday, and i have to keep a window slightly open during the day to keep my apartment from getting too hot :o
2008-04-07 09:31 < Thehelpfulone2> Leslie_S: that's called Summer for some people ;)
2008-04-07 09:31 < Leslie_S> Thehelpfulone2 no, its definitely spring.
2008-04-07 09:31 < Leslie_S> Thehelpfulone2 if it was summer, i would have the air conditioning running :P
2008-04-07 09:32 < Thehelpfulone2> hehe
2008-04-07 09:32 < Leslie_S> Thehelpfulone2 the window is pretty much because im on the third floor. i wouldnt have to do that at my old place.
2008-04-07 09:32 < Leslie_S> anyway, bye
2008-04-07 09:32 < Thehelpfulone2> Leslie_S: summer in some places is winter in others 9.9
2008-04-07 09:34 < Lycurgus> definitely not spring yet in western new york. Not wintery either.
2008-04-07 09:49 < quanticle|away> Heh. Speaking of seasons, Minneapolis is scheduled to pick up an inch of snow today.
2008-04-07 09:51 < Phillemann> I'm curious, in Wikiversity in the "TeX" options menu I can select, for example, MathML, but there's no remark if this works or how I get it to work.
2008-04-07 09:53 < quanticle> Chirp.
2008-04-07 09:57 < Lycurgus> there's a form of mathml that's used in wp but of course TeX markup can't be expected to work in browsers without a translator like latex2HTML or the like.
2008-04-07 09:58 < Phillemann> Lycurgus: Well, I'd expect wiki to show me embedded mathml markup instead of pngs or html.
2008-04-07 09:59 < Lycurgus> you might expect that, I couldn't possibly comment.
2008-04-07 09:59 < X2theZ> any admin over here?
2008-04-07 10:02 < NotACow> X2theZ: no, all the admins were killed by pro-tibetan terrorists.
2008-04-07 10:03 < Aqwis> turrizts
2008-04-07 10:03 < quanticle> Aqwis: You mean the same terrorists that almost killed the Olympic flame?
2008-04-07 10:04 < Aqwis> of course
2008-04-07 10:04 < Aqwis> hang them
2008-04-07 10:04 < quanticle> Heh.
