2008-04-08 02:16 < Ceiling_Cat> Enterprise_Cat - perhaps you could tell us something about the episode other than which season it aired in?
2008-04-08 02:16 < Ceiling_Cat> You know, like plot hints
2008-04-08 02:16 < nokmar> ##trivia
2008-04-08 02:16 < Enterprise_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: I just gave one now
2008-04-08 02:16 < nokmar> #trivia
2008-04-08 02:17 < Enterprise_Cat> nokmar: Too bad
2008-04-08 02:17 < Rinn> ###trivia
2008-04-08 02:17 < Ceiling_Cat> all right
2008-04-08 02:17 < nokmar> three numbers doesn't exist
2008-04-08 02:17 < Ceiling_Cat> I could go for a #trivia game
2008-04-08 02:17 < nokmar> =P
2008-04-08 02:17 < Ceiling_Cat> everyone come in
2008-04-08 02:17 < Rinn> Well I say it should.
2008-04-08 02:17 < nokmar> you going to make another bot?

2008-04-08 02:17 < Ceiling_Cat> anyone else playing?
2008-04-08 02:17 < Enterprise_Cat> The answer is: Amok Time
2008-04-08 02:17 < I_am_Keegan> good grief.
2008-04-08 02:17 * Enterprise_Cat will play for a short tiome
2008-04-08 02:17 < Ceiling_Cat> #trivia <--GO GO GO
2008-04-08 02:18 < Ceiling_Cat> Last chance....
2008-04-08 02:18 < I_am_Keegan> mavhc: not that I know of
2008-04-08 02:18 < mavhc> lazy bastards
2008-04-08 02:18 < I_am_Keegan> there's really only a few *significant* differences in selected episodes
2008-04-08 02:19 < I_am_Keegan> when the cheesey music chimes in
2008-04-08 02:19 * I_am_Keegan sighs
2008-04-08 02:20 < I_am_Keegan> I think you can find VHS copies from syndication on eBay
2008-04-08 02:23 < mavhc> rip, edit, splice, encode, bittorrent
2008-04-08 02:37 < koavf> Are any admins available now?
2008-04-08 02:37 < koavf> Possibly Snowolf?
2008-04-08 02:37 < nokmar> they're all at #trivia
2008-04-08 02:37 < miranda> koavf: I_am_Keegan is one
2008-04-08 02:37 < miranda> lol
2008-04-08 02:37 < koavf> Thanks.
2008-04-08 02:38 < nokmar> + a bureaucrat
2008-04-08 02:38 < koavf> Oh, good to know.
2008-04-08 02:38 < koavf> Keegan - are you there?
2008-04-08 02:38 < koavf> Will there be a special sound if I privately message someone or something?
2008-04-08 02:38 < koavf> How do I get someone's attention?
2008-04-08 02:38 < koavf> I'm an IRC newbie.
2008-04-08 02:38 < miranda> koavf: what's up?
2008-04-08 02:39 < miranda> u said that you need an admin
2008-04-08 02:39 < koavf> A userpage needs to be taken out of a category and put into another one per WP:CfD, but it is editprotected.
2008-04-08 02:39 < koavf> And Snowolf was gracious enough to help, but it seems he may have overlooked one.
2008-04-08 02:43 < snowolf> < nokmar> + a bureaucrat <--- uh?
2008-04-08 02:43 < snowolf> koavf: which one?
2008-04-08 02:43 < koavf> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Journalist
2008-04-08 02:44 < koavf> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_in_the_Counter_Vandalism_Unit
2008-04-08 02:44 < nokmar> Raul is a crat
2008-04-08 02:44 < snowolf> ah yeah
2008-04-08 02:44 < koavf> Thank you so much.
2008-04-08 02:44 < koavf> Again, I guess http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lanoitarus is just not showing up due to some server lag or something.
2008-04-08 02:44 < snowolf> koavf: done, I thought I had done it must been mistaken ;-)
2008-04-08 02:45 < koavf> If you go to his page, he is clearly in the new category.
2008-04-08 02:45 < koavf> Sure, that makes sense.
2008-04-08 02:45 < snowolf> categories are not real time
2008-04-08 02:45 < koavf> And I didn't want to be pushy about it, but it would be nice to know that it had been fixed.
2008-04-08 02:45 < koavf> Thank you so much again.
2008-04-08 02:45 < koavf> Right.
2008-04-08 02:45 < snowolf> anytime :)
2008-04-08 02:45 < koavf> Again, very helpful.
2008-04-08 02:46 < koavf> You'll notice Journalist is out now and Lano... is still in.
2008-04-08 02:46 < koavf> The population of categories never made sense to me.
2008-04-08 02:46 < snowolf> ehehehhe
2008-04-08 02:46 < koavf> Sometimes, the changes show up immediately and sometimes not.
2008-04-08 02:46 * snowolf goes back to study perl
2008-04-08 02:47 < amidaniel> eww
2008-04-08 02:48 < nokmar> don't be hatin'
2008-04-08 02:49 < amidaniel> my $hate = justified;
2008-04-08 02:49 < nokmar> what did perl do to you?
2008-04-08 02:50 < amidaniel> It drugged and raped me and left me for dead.
2008-04-08 02:50 < snowolf> aahahahah
2008-04-08 02:55 < webkid> hi
2008-04-08 02:57 < nokmar> hi
2008-04-08 02:58 < Werdna> is wjbscribe around on IRC ever?
2008-04-08 03:00 < amidaniel> I think so
2008-04-08 03:00 * Enterprise_Cat is now going to bed, good night!
2008-04-08 03:01 < snowolf> Werdna: he is
2008-04-08 03:25 < HumbertHumbert> "Pedophilia or paedophilia (Commonwealth usage) is the primary or exclusive sexual attraction of adults to prepubescent children." <-- Then what is somebody called who is sexually interested in kids but not primarily?
2008-04-08 03:26 * The359 shrug
2008-04-08 03:28 < The359> Pederasty?
2008-04-08 03:29 < The359> or Ephebophilia?
2008-04-08 03:37 < HumbertHumbert> The359: What?
2008-04-08 03:37 < HumbertHumbert> You didn't even bother to look up those terms...
2008-04-08 03:48 < The359> yes I did
2008-04-08 03:48 < The359> just the closest thing I could come up with
2008-04-08 04:05 < Carnildo> Is Wikipedia down, or is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dummy315.png just not working?
2008-04-08 04:06 < Werdna> Wikipedia is /very/ slow since the last scap
2008-04-08 04:06 < Werdna> badly-written query in some of the new logging stuff has overloaded the db servers
2008-04-08 04:06 < Cyrius> Carnildo: connection is being cancelled on me
2008-04-08 04:06 < Carnildo> Any estimate on when things will be fixed?
2008-04-08 04:07 < Werdna> we're onto it
2008-04-08 04:07 < Werdna> we've got two developers plus tim on it
2008-04-08 04:07 < ggreer> I've got a solution: switch from mysql to berkeley db
2008-04-08 04:07 < ggreer> actually that's not a solution
2008-04-08 04:07 < Carnildo> I've got a better solution: flat files.
2008-04-08 04:08 < ggreer> bdb is kind of a pain, but it's fast
2008-04-08 04:08 < ggreer> Carnildo: with key-value storage of fixed values that's not a bad idea sometimes
2008-04-08 04:08 < ggreer> then just seek to byte key * sizeof(key) + sizeof(value)
2008-04-08 04:09 < ggreer> if the data set is small enough the OS will just cache it in memory
2008-04-08 04:09 < Carnildo> Now if we can just convince the users to make all articles the same size...
2008-04-08 04:09 < ggreer> yes, and small enough to fit into memory on a single computer
2008-04-08 04:10 < ggreer> did I say fixed values? I meant to say fixed-size values
2008-04-08 04:10 < ggreer> anyway you understood me
2008-04-08 04:11 < nsh> what's this jibbajabbanow?
2008-04-08 04:11 < Carnildo> We're solving all of Wikipedia's problems
2008-04-08 04:12 < nsh> cool
2008-04-08 04:12 < ggreer> truth be told I'm not a big fan of relational databases
2008-04-08 04:12 < nsh> right
2008-04-08 04:12 < nsh> flatfiles and perl
2008-04-08 04:13 < nsh> as god intended
2008-04-08 04:13 < ggreer> key-value storage restricts flexibility, but boy does it make stuff simpler
2008-04-08 04:13 < Carnildo> Relational databases have their uses, but they tend to get used in the wrong places.
2008-04-08 04:13 < Carnildo> And when they do get used in the right place, they get used in the wrong way.
2008-04-08 04:13 < ggreer> Carnildo: heh, tell me about it. at work we use mysql cluster, but with only one table that has two columns
2008-04-08 04:13 < ggreer> column 1: 4 byte primary key
2008-04-08 04:13 < ggreer> column 2: serialized C++ object
2008-04-08 04:13 < ggreer> 8^)
2008-04-08 04:14 < nsh> that doesn't sound brain at all
2008-04-08 04:14 < nsh> that sounds mostly foot
2008-04-08 04:14 < ggreer> it works better than you would expect, until ops accidently powers down 5 of the 22 nodes in the cluster
2008-04-08 04:16 < nsh> hrmm
2008-04-08 04:16 < nsh> what are these C++ objects used for, if you don't mind me asking?
2008-04-08 04:17 < ggreer> nsh: keeping track of users read/unread items for each subscription in the feed reader
2008-04-08 04:17 < ggreer> I work on bloglines. the compuserve of feed readers
2008-04-08 04:18 < nsh> ah, i getcha blair
2008-04-08 04:18 < Carnildo> Two-dimensional arrays don't fit too well in relational databases.
2008-04-08 04:18 < nsh> compuserve, chuckles, i didn't even think compuserve were ever the compuserve of anything
2008-04-08 04:18 < cypha> gger, what do u program in, php?
2008-04-08 04:19 < ggreer> cypha: haha, no. our CGIs are C++ and our back-end stuff is all C-with-objects style C++
2008-04-08 04:20 < cypha> so u do C?
2008-04-08 04:20 < ggreer> when you crawl a bajillion feeds every day you can't exactly write the crawlers in php
2008-04-08 04:20 < cypha> understandable
2008-04-08 04:20 < ggreer> cypha: yes. my first programming language was C
2008-04-08 04:20 < cypha> do you think you can help me with something?
2008-04-08 04:21 < cypha> i have an open source, and wanted to know how to implement it
2008-04-08 04:21 < ggreer> I don't understand what you're asking. I'm guessing english isn't your primary language
2008-04-08 04:22 < cypha> ouch
2008-04-08 04:23 < Randomtime> En wiki slow?
2008-04-08 04:23 < Luna-San> All wikis, I believe
2008-04-08 04:23 < ggreer> cypha: either that or you just don't know what you're talking about
2008-04-08 04:23 < Excirial> ""Our servers are currently experiencing a technical problem. This is probably temporary and should be fixed soon. Please try again in a few minutes.
2008-04-08 04:23 < Excirial> So i guess some minor problem (Or major, but optimism above all)
2008-04-08 04:24 < freesbie_> hi

2008-04-08 04:25 < freesbie_> is this channel for wikipedians?
2008-04-08 04:25 < koavf> Is en.wp down?
2008-04-08 04:25 < Excirial> Mind you, it was just a response to the "Slow Wiki"
2008-04-08 04:25 < TheLetterE> There are developers working on the issue, please sit tight and be patient.
2008-04-08 04:26 < freesbie_> chinese stretch their hands onto wp now?
2008-04-08 04:26 < TheLetterE> freesbie_: has been that way for a week now i think

2008-04-08 04:31 < Tuxide|laptop> that's too bad, [[Tibet]] was locked too, I couldn't edit it

2008-04-08 04:34 < freesbie_> irony, there are not the true chinese...
2008-04-08 04:34 < Tefad> does that there are PROBLEMS with the wikipedia?
2008-04-08 04:34 < TheLetterE> Tefad: yes
2008-04-08 04:34 < Tefad> so why not just say that
2008-04-08 04:34 < The359> What is freesbie_ talking about?
2008-04-08 04:34 < TheLetterE> The359: dont worry

2008-04-08 04:36 < koavf> I know little about IRC
2008-04-08 04:36 < Tefad> koavf: it's a command, type it, and read the result
2008-04-08 04:36 < Tefad> however, don't be this gullible for other commands.
2008-04-08 04:36 < freesbie_> who will care about this?
2008-04-08 04:36 < koavf> Status: Issues are present, developers are onto it now.
2008-04-08 04:36 < koavf> Brilliant.
2008-04-08 04:36 < snowolf> ;-)
2008-04-08 04:36 < Tefad> yes, this is why i'm talking about the wording of that phrase
2008-04-08 04:36 < koavf> Yeah, I've read of some funny "Type /XXX" IRC pranks. Thanks, fellows.
2008-04-08 04:36 < freesbie_> warning: buzzword detected
2008-04-08 04:36 < TheLetterE> bah
2008-04-08 04:36 < Tuxide|laptop> developers are unwrapping their presents and are playing with them now
2008-04-08 04:36 < The359> I can't identify Chinese people just from their looks, yao_ziyuan
2008-04-08 04:36 < koavf> I'm out.
2008-04-08 04:37 < The359> So I don't see how I can determine if Chinese people ride in luxury cars
2008-04-08 04:37 < The359> but I'm sure they do
2008-04-08 04:37 < Tefad> heyyyy what do you know, i have contact with the main page
2008-04-08 04:37 < cimon> in other news, my back is jut about to break...
2008-04-08 04:37 < cimon> *just
2008-04-08 04:37 < freesbie_> in soviet british, everything is brilliant
2008-04-08 04:37 < Luna-San> cimon: You should, ah, look into that
2008-04-08 04:37 * The359 throws stars at cimon
2008-04-08 04:37 < The359> erm
2008-04-08 04:37 < The359> straws
2008-04-08 04:37 < Dycedarg> it's up again
2008-04-08 04:38 < Tuxide|laptop> Hey it's my friggin' watchlist!
2008-04-08 04:38 < cimon> I don't need looking at, I need spine, dammit?
2008-04-08 04:38 < Tefad> also mr e, my above statement was facetious.
2008-04-08 04:38 < yao_ziyuan> most children of china's ruling class (high govt officials and factory owners) live in america, australia, uk, nz, canada
2008-04-08 04:38 < atmishere> does any body know about GRID internet???Is it like networked GRID computers using OFC cables...
2008-04-08 04:38 < Tefad> i do not come here to create problems on purpose, however my behavior can be interpreted otherwise
2008-04-08 04:39 < cimon> lol
2008-04-08 04:39 < The359> if they're not in China, how can they be China's ruling class?
2008-04-08 04:39 < freesbie_> the chinese students are surported by parent's corruptions
2008-04-08 04:39 < cimon> Equivocation
2008-04-08 04:39 < yao_ziyuan> china's cheap product revenues support these little bastards' luxury life in the west
2008-04-08 04:39 < cimon> also
2008-04-08 04:39 < atmishere> does any body know about GRID internet is it like networked GRID computers using OFC cables...
2008-04-08 04:39 < cimon> if-by-whiskey
2008-04-08 04:39 < Excirial> Grid based computing?
2008-04-08 04:39 < Tuxide|laptop> are their luxury cars made out of lead?
2008-04-08 04:39 < Tefad> isn't the internet already a grid of sorts?
2008-04-08 04:40 < freesbie_> can you call a chinese car the luxury car?
2008-04-08 04:40 < Tefad> constantly changing network with multiple redundancy galore
2008-04-08 04:40 < Carnildo> I'd point you to Wikipedia's article on grid computing, but...
2008-04-08 04:40 < yao_ziyuan> The359: their parents are china's ruling class, biggest beneficiaries of china's export revenues
2008-04-08 04:40 < The359> but they're not in China
2008-04-08 04:40 < The359> hence they aren't part of China's ruling class
2008-04-08 04:40 < yao_ziyuan> so they don't need to get a job in the west
2008-04-08 04:41 < yao_ziyuan> they just enjoy all the material luxuries that the west has to offer
2008-04-08 04:41 < yao_ziyuan> they even join swap-wife clubs
2008-04-08 04:41 < freesbie_> don't forget, chinese depend on people in somewhere's donation
2008-04-08 04:41 < The359> uh, what?
2008-04-08 04:41 < yao_ziyuan> and these days they're protesting BBC/CNN in major western cities
2008-04-08 04:41 < freesbie_> chinese are thieves
2008-04-08 04:42 < atmishere> does any body know about GRID internet is it like networked GRID computers using OFC cables...
2008-04-08 04:42 < yao_ziyuan> because if china falls,
2008-04-08 04:42 < The359> freesbie_, shut up
2008-04-08 04:42 < The359> yao_ziyuan, what are you talking about?
2008-04-08 04:42 < freesbie_> har har har
2008-04-08 04:42 < yao_ziyuan> their financial support falls
2008-04-08 04:42 < yao_ziyuan> The359: i'm talking about china's elite class' children who live in the west
2008-04-08 04:42 < The359> ok
2008-04-08 04:42 < The359> they're allowed to enjoy the fruits of their parent's labor
2008-04-08 04:43 < yao_ziyuan> not labor
2008-04-08 04:43 < yao_ziyuan> it's the chinese people's labor
2008-04-08 04:43 < The359> yes labor
2008-04-08 04:43 < cimon> lol
2008-04-08 04:43 < cimon> labour
2008-04-08 04:43 < cimon> you mena
2008-04-08 04:43 < yao_ziyuan> their parents are big government officials and factory owners
2008-04-08 04:43 < The359> so?
2008-04-08 04:43 < The359> They still do work
2008-04-08 04:43 < yao_ziyuan> well, they work to exploit the chinese people
2008-04-08 04:43 < freesbie_> elite? if their parents didn't corrupt, they couldn't be so elite
2008-04-08 04:43 < The359> sounds fairly prejudicial, yao_ziyuan
2008-04-08 04:43 < HumbertHumbert> yao_ziyuan: Where are you?
2008-04-08 04:44 < yao_ziyuan> if you think President Hu's job is "work", then fine
2008-04-08 04:44 < yao_ziyuan> HumbertHumbert: china
2008-04-08 04:44 < freesbie_> Hu is a snake
2008-04-08 04:44 < The359> Work doesn't always mean physical labor
2008-04-08 04:44 < yao_ziyuan> freesbie_: yes, by 'elite', i mean high party/govt officials and factory owners
2008-04-08 04:44 < The359> and what Chinese government officials live outside of China?
2008-04-08 04:44 < Haribo_> i have a question... does anyone know about the finnish air force crash in 1984 in gulf of bothnia?
2008-04-08 04:44 < The359> Doesn't make much sense
2008-04-08 04:44 < freesbie_> Hu killed tons of tibetans
2008-04-08 04:44 < Mike_H> Haribo_: Ask cimon, he was old enough to remember
2008-04-08 04:44 < HumbertHumbert> Wow... I've seen two Chinese people on IRC in just two days now. I never saw any Chinese people (or any native Asians) on IRC before. :S
2008-04-08 04:44 < yao_ziyuan> freesbie_: how is Hu a snake?
2008-04-08 04:45 < freesbie_> i said
2008-04-08 04:45 < freesbie_> see above
2008-04-08 04:45 < yao_ziyuan> ...
2008-04-08 04:45 < cimon> Haribo_, no, doesn't ring a bell here...
2008-04-08 04:45 < cimon> too bad
