2008-04-08 22:00 < TheWeasel> the sofixit principle is striking even there.
2008-04-08 22:00 < ShakespeareFan00> TheWeasel: well Potlatch exists so people can fix errors in the map
2008-04-08 22:00 < TheWeasel> yea
2008-04-08 22:01 * TheWeasel is responsible for the bogus mini-streets :-P
2008-04-08 22:01 < ShakespeareFan00> What do you mean?
2008-04-08 22:01 < ShakespeareFan00> You added 'easter eggs'?
2008-04-08 22:01 < TheWeasel> well, planmakers include bogus roads in their plans to prevent copyvio
2008-04-08 22:01 < TheWeasel> of course not
2008-04-08 22:02 < TheWeasel> it would make no sense, because "passive" copyvio isn't anything to worry about
2008-04-08 22:02 < TheWeasel> plan = map
2008-04-08 22:02 < TheWeasel> (that was a Germanism)
2008-04-08 22:03 < Messedrocker> same thing in french
2008-04-08 22:03 < Messedrocker> "un plan" is like a detailed path map
2008-04-08 22:04 < TheWeasel> yea "Plan" is used for display of actual planning (such as a map showing zoning or the new highway)
2008-04-08 22:04 < Messedrocker> ah, like urban planning
2008-04-08 22:04 < TheWeasel> but it also means "city map"
2008-04-08 22:04 < Messedrocker> and "this is the plan for the city"
2008-04-08 22:04 < Messedrocker> or "this is the plan for the metro"
2008-04-08 22:04 < TheWeasel> yea
2008-04-08 22:04 < TheWeasel> tube map = U-Bahn-Plan
2008-04-08 22:04 < NotACow> THIS IS THE PLAN FOR YOUR IMPENDING DOOM
2008-04-08 22:05 * TheWeasel includes the red You Are Here dot in Kelly's plan
2008-04-08 22:05 < Warpath> ST47, zombie still on autorem XD
2008-04-08 22:05 < ST47> Yeah
2008-04-08 22:05 < ST47> :)
2008-04-08 22:06 < TheWeasel> Good lord, today's German FA is of astonishing dullness.
2008-04-08 22:06 < TheWeasel> about sweetgrass
2008-04-08 22:06 < ShakespeareFan00> TheWeasl: Speaking of U-Bahns- Open Rail Map is just starting up ;)
2008-04-08 22:06 < TheWeasel> oh yea
2008-04-08 22:06 < TheWeasel> not as interesting as it would have been 30 years ago
2008-04-08 22:06 < TheWeasel> they closed many minor tracks
2008-04-08 22:07 * TheWeasel loves riding trains
2008-04-08 22:07 < TheWeasel> it's not on my agenda any time soon though
2008-04-08 22:07 < ShakespeareFan00> Can you comment on OpenRailMap and the related tagspew please :)
2008-04-08 22:08 < TheWeasel> Do I have to?
2008-04-08 22:08 < TheWeasel> It's four.
2008-04-08 22:08 < TheWeasel> :-/
2008-04-08 22:08 < TheWeasel> haha

2008-04-08 22:08 < Monobi> Ruby isn't even a programming language :O .
2008-04-08 22:08 * Monobi dies
2008-04-08 22:08 < ShakespeareFan00> Later then :)
2008-04-08 22:08 < ShakespeareFan00> I have to sleep as well
2008-04-08 22:08 < ShakespeareFan00> Night
2008-04-08 22:09 < TheWeasel> I hate when my browser doesn't tell me it wants to open a PDF, then chokes on it.
2008-04-08 22:10 < Lucifer_Cat> TheWeasel: dont you have to sleep?
2008-04-08 22:10 < The359> I never open PDFs in browser
2008-04-08 22:10 < Messedrocker> i hate when i accidentally click on PDFs
2008-04-08 22:10 < TheWeasel> that's what happened.
2008-04-08 22:10 < TheWeasel> Uh... yes.
2008-04-08 22:10 < TheWeasel> Well...
2008-04-08 22:10 < TheWeasel> I'm on spring break till Monday
2008-04-08 22:10 < TheWeasel> but it would probably be good
2008-04-08 22:11 < Sceptre> http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/911/heartheartlol7uk1tfgo5.jpg
2008-04-08 22:12 < TheWeasel> I am?
2008-04-08 22:12 < TheWeasel> Sorry.
2008-04-08 22:14 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Really? You have spring break late. My spring break ended nearly two weeks ago.
2008-04-08 22:14 < TheWeasel> my semester restarts on the 14th
2008-04-08 22:14 < TheWeasel> and I had an oral exam on the 2nd
2008-04-08 22:15 < TheWeasel> so it's jolly short
2008-04-08 22:15 < TheWeasel> before that I had "lecture-free time" but that wasn't leisure
2008-04-08 22:15 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Homework time?
2008-04-08 22:15 < TheWeasel> Yea, exam prep
2008-04-08 22:16 < TheWeasel> first break in years that wasn't taken up entirely by a paper
2008-04-08 22:16 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Nice. Must be quite relaxing then...
2008-04-08 22:16 < TheWeasel> German university is quaint and free during the semester and living hell outside.
2008-04-08 22:17 < TheWeasel> Something tells me it oughta be the other way round
2008-04-08 22:21 < gwern> 'I worked for an ISP whose very first customer was Mr. Blank. For real. So the very first row in our customer database was "ID: 1000 NAME: BLANK". That account got deleted more than once by well-meaning and unsuspecting customer service people.'
2008-04-08 22:21 < Whopper> lol
2008-04-08 22:21 < Leslie_S> gwern lols
2008-04-08 22:22 < quanticle> gwern: Heh. That must take some explaining at the DMV. "What's your name?" "Blank." "Blank?" "Yes, Blank." "Are you joking with us, Mr. Blank?"
2008-04-08 22:25 < Messedrocker> it's a real name
2008-04-08 22:25 < Messedrocker> cf Mel Blanc
2008-04-08 22:25 < Messedrocker> his real name was Blank but he changed it to Blanc
2008-04-08 22:26 < NotACow> Stephen O
2008-04-08 22:26 < NotACow> his last name was "O"
2008-04-08 22:26 < NotACow> he ended up changing it to "Oh" because nobody would accept that he had a monosymbolic name
2008-04-08 22:27 < zocky> the first prime minister of burma was called U Nu
2008-04-08 22:28 < Sceptre> zocky: "Oooh nooooo"
2008-04-08 22:28 < quanticle> zocky: You knew?
2008-04-08 22:28 < gwern> who knew
2008-04-08 22:28 < quanticle> U Nu knew
2008-04-08 22:29 < zocky> Nu was overthrown by a coup d’état led by Ne Win
2008-04-08 22:29 < zocky> ... who had almost twice as many letters in his name
2008-04-08 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: how was the test
2008-04-08 22:30 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: It went well.
2008-04-08 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> meow!!!
2008-04-08 22:30 * Mike_H NP: The Tubes - She's a Beauty (1983)
2008-04-08 22:30 < zocky> meanwhile, the president and prime minister of madagascar are Messrs. Ravalomanana and Rabemananjara
2008-04-08 22:31 < Mike_H> WHY WOULD I LIE?
2008-04-08 22:32 < Enterprise_Cat> Mike_H: Because you are Mike_H
2008-04-08 22:32 < Lucifer_Cat> gwern: lol at that
2008-04-08 22:32 < Lucifer_Cat> the deleting part
2008-04-08 22:32 < Lucifer_Cat> i tinkered around with databases today
2008-04-08 22:33 < Lucifer_Cat> lol the best part was, the people i work for were actually taken by surprised that i fixed some bug without crashing the db even once. also that i did not need help with sql.
2008-04-08 22:34 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Heh. They expected you to be just like every wet-behind-the-ears nublet...
2008-04-08 22:37 < Lucifer_Cat> yeah prettymuch.
2008-04-08 22:37 < Lucifer_Cat> also the fact that the gal who joined 2-3 weeks before me isnt the sharpest tool in the shed
2008-04-08 22:38 < Lucifer_Cat> heres the funny part...
2008-04-08 22:38 < Lucifer_Cat> she sits in the cubicle next to me... and suddenly calls me over for help
2008-04-08 22:39 < Lucifer_Cat> she was debugging something and the "watch" had some value of a variable "sizeInMB"
2008-04-08 22:39 * Enterprise_Cat needs something to do
2008-04-08 22:39 < Lucifer_Cat> which was set to something at line 10
2008-04-08 22:39 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: deploy some webservices
2008-04-08 22:40 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: I need moar specifics
2008-04-08 22:41 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: takes a string as input and sends back a link to the wikipage

2008-04-08 22:43 < Enterprise_Cat> If it is soon I might be able to chime in
2008-04-08 22:43 < Enterprise_Cat> Pending the responsiveness of Windows
2008-04-08 22:43 < Monobi> Enterprise_Cat, Wubi
2008-04-08 22:43 < Enterprise_Cat> Monobi: Wubi?
2008-04-08 22:43 < Monobi> Enterprise_Cat, Yes.
2008-04-08 22:43 < Monobi> Google it.
2008-04-08 22:44 < Enterprise_Cat> Monobi: Why should I?
2008-04-08 22:44 < Lucifer_Cat> Wubi?
2008-04-08 22:44 < Monobi> Enterprise_Cat, Because it will change your life.
2008-04-08 22:44 < Monobi> ^_^
2008-04-08 22:44 < Enterprise_Cat> No
2008-04-08 22:44 < Enterprise_Cat> Unless you can give me some reason why I should
2008-04-08 22:44 < Monobi> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu)
2008-04-08 22:44 < Monobi> Enterprise_Cat, what OS do you use?
2008-04-08 22:44 < Enterprise_Cat> I am saving my precious processor cycles
2008-04-08 22:44 < Enterprise_Cat> WinXP/Ubuntu, I rarely actually use the Ubuntu install though
2008-04-08 22:45 < Monobi> Idiot!
2008-04-08 22:45 < Enterprise_Cat> I only use it if I have to boot up, check email, and shut down again, otherwise I wait the 15 minutes it takes to boot up Windows
2008-04-08 22:45 < Monobi> ;)
2008-04-08 22:45 < Monobi> Ok.
2008-04-08 22:45 < Enterprise_Cat> Monobi: Let me know when I can play Battlefield 2142 on an Ubuntu install
2008-04-08 22:45 < Enterprise_Cat> Ahh, everyone is signing on to Skype
2008-04-08 22:45 < Monobi> Enterprise_Cat, let me know how sitting around for 15 minutes is.
2008-04-08 22:46 < Enterprise_Cat> Monobi: I watch Star Trek
2008-04-08 22:46 < Monobi> That is why you dual boot. Use Ubuntu for everyday and windows for games.
2008-04-08 22:46 < Enterprise_Cat> or I bursh my teeth
2008-04-08 22:46 < The359> Love is a Battlefield 2142
2008-04-08 22:46 < Enterprise_Cat> Monobi: Not for my uses
2008-04-08 22:46 < Monobi> Star Trek >_> .
2008-04-08 22:46 < Monobi> Enterprise_Cat, then you are wrong :p .
2008-04-08 22:46 * Enterprise_Cat notes that Ceiling_Cat has signed onto Skype
2008-04-08 22:47 < Monobi> Skype.
2008-04-08 22:48 * Enterprise_Cat sees you Ceiling_Cat
2008-04-08 22:48 < Sceptre> PEE FIGHT!
2008-04-08 22:48 * quanticle is downloading Gentoo to install on a VM

2008-04-08 22:49 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: I am
2008-04-08 22:50 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: I don't have you on my contact list, what is your Skype name?
2008-04-08 22:50 < Lucifer_Cat> "the evil one"
2008-04-08 22:50 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: Not good enough, I got like 50 results :P
2008-04-08 22:50 < TheNobleSith> hello
2008-04-08 22:50 < cimon> anyone else find it amusing that chickipedia has all these pictures of Jessica Alba groping her own butt?
2008-04-08 22:50 < Lucifer_Cat> damn
2008-04-08 22:51 < Messedrocker> Lucifer_Cat, can you say, "Gradius"
2008-04-08 22:51 < Lucifer_Cat> copyright infringement
2008-04-08 22:51 < Alkivar> so it appears EMC2 is buying out Iomega
2008-04-08 22:51 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: i sure can
2008-04-08 22:51 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: What should I punch into Skype to find you?
2008-04-08 22:51 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: im not sure?
2008-04-08 22:51 < Messedrocker> that game is like an easy version of Gradius
2008-04-08 22:51 < Messedrocker> except with better graphics
2008-04-08 22:51 < Messedrocker> and controlled with a mouse
2008-04-08 22:52 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: What is your skype username?
2008-04-08 22:52 < Lucifer_Cat> let it connect and i'll find out
2008-04-08 22:52 < zocky> Some guy commenting on some creationist preacher: "Does he say which version of Genesis we should be following? Before or after Phil Collins?"
2008-04-08 22:53 < Faroframkallaway> zocky: before
2008-04-08 22:53 < The359> Peter Gabriel Genesis?
2008-04-08 22:53 < uberpenguin> before
2008-04-08 22:53 < Faroframkallaway> Peter Gabriel WAS Genesis
2008-04-08 22:53 * TheWeasel thinks Phil Collins is apocryphal
2008-04-08 22:53 < Messedrocker> sega genesis!
2008-04-08 22:53 < Faroframkallaway> Phil Collins' was like... Exodus, or Deuteronomy
2008-04-08 22:53 < TheWeasel> more like 4 Maccabees
2008-04-08 22:54 < TheWeasel> only liberally minded people accept it
2008-04-08 22:54 < cimon> Peter Gabriel shocked the monkey
2008-04-08 22:54 < Alkivar> http://www.gearlog.com/2008/04/emc_set_to_acquire_iomega.php <-- comment #1 = lulz
2008-04-08 22:54 < The359> And Peter and Gabriel said unto thee, I know what I like, and I like what I know
2008-04-08 22:54 < zocky> well, to be fair, genesis existed for only three years without phil collins
2008-04-08 22:54 < TheWeasel> yea, St Peter and the archangel Gabriel
2008-04-08 22:55 < zocky> and he was alright, until he started singing and writing songs
2008-04-08 22:55 < TheWeasel> I thought that was the watershed in question
2008-04-08 22:55 < cimon> let me date myself...
2008-04-08 22:55 < TheWeasel> When they became a pop band instead of a prog band
2008-04-08 22:55 * The359 likes both versions of Genesis
2008-04-08 22:55 < Lucifer_Cat> cimon: i date myself every other night
2008-04-08 22:56 < cimon> I saw Pat Benatars video in striped apache style, when it was new...
2008-04-08 22:56 * TheWeasel is a Bon-Scott-era-only AC/DC listener
2008-04-08 22:56 < zocky> "i date myself" sounds like the PG-version of the divinyls song
2008-04-08 22:57 < cimon> That fucking video got very sparse airplay later, but it was the second video ever to be played on Music Television
2008-04-08 22:57 < TheWeasel> and I dislike the Stones since they lost Bill Wyman, but that's because they suck, not because Bill Wyman was irreplaceable
2008-04-08 22:57 < cimon> I am betting the first video was Like a Virgin, but I could be wrong...
2008-04-08 22:58 < zocky> cimon, which MTV?
2008-04-08 22:58 < zocky> american or european?
2008-04-08 22:58 < TheWeasel> I think the first video was Video Killed The Radio Star
2008-04-08 22:58 < zocky> one was "video killed the radio star", the other was "money for nothing"
2008-04-08 22:58 < TheWeasel> Money For Nothing is the worst Dire Straits song
2008-04-08 22:58 < TheWeasel> probably the worst Mark Knopfler ever played or wrote
2008-04-08 22:58 < TheWeasel> it's so annoying
2008-04-08 22:58 < zocky> maybe so, but it has sting singing "i want my MTV"
2008-04-08 22:59 < Lucifer_Cat> so are we in a skypecast somewhere?
2008-04-08 22:59 < cimon> the song is bad, but the insert from the other video is hot
2008-04-08 22:59 < TheWeasel> "you play your music on the MTV/that ain't woikin'..."
2008-04-08 22:59 < TheWeasel> I think he wanted to pull off a Willie Nelson-type aging country singer
2008-04-08 22:59 < TheWeasel> but failed horribly
2008-04-08 23:00 < TheWeasel> sorry
2008-04-08 23:00 < TheWeasel> "your guitar on the MTV"
2008-04-08 23:00 < TheWeasel> iirc
2008-04-08 23:01 < Messedrocker> more like
2008-04-08 23:01 < Messedrocker> your gee-tar
2008-04-08 23:01 < Messedrocker> that ain't workin
2008-04-08 23:01 < Messedrocker> that's the way you do it
2008-04-08 23:01 < Messedrocker> get your money for nothing
2008-04-08 23:01 < Messedrocker> and your dicks for free
2008-04-08 23:02 < TheWeasel> Very nice, I like.
2008-04-08 23:02 < TheWeasel> Err...
2008-04-08 23:03 < TheWeasel> "zey idiots but zey give me mooney, very nice, I like"
2008-04-08 23:04 < The359> Thank you Max Mosley
2008-04-08 23:05 < TheWeasel> those Nazi theme parties by previously unaffiliated people seem to be endemic to the UK.
2008-04-08 23:05 < The359> Holocaust Nazi theme party
2008-04-08 23:06 < FatherHackett> ARSE!
2008-04-08 23:06 < TheWeasel> Pa'don?
2008-04-08 23:06 < TheWeasel> Well, the Russians have a whole party as in political party that does the same
2008-04-08 23:07 < TheWeasel> the National Bolsheviks
2008-04-08 23:07 < FatherHackett> THAT WOULD BE AN ECUMENICAL MATTER.
2008-04-08 23:08 * TheWeasel rejects ecumene

2008-04-08 23:58 < Thinboy00> I guess I'll look it up

2008-04-09 00:06 < Mark_Ryan> an extension should be coded to graph automatically. it's not exactly rocket science

2008-04-09 00:36 < TroubleClef> I wonder if I can get away with using that as a fake name.
2008-04-09 00:36 < Mike_H> TroubleClef: Make the last name "Affidavits"

2008-04-09 00:37 < Nihiltres> p858snake: "Delete […] once MartinBotIII's gone and fixed all the uses."
2008-04-09 00:37 < p858snake> the links were, but the template got used again it appears

2008-04-09 00:38 < Ceiling_Cat> It's just about to hit 100 pages

2008-04-09 00:39 < p858snake> Ceiling_Cat: planning on printing this?
2008-04-09 00:39 < Lucifer_Cat> hey mark
2008-04-09 00:39 < TroubleClef> Thesis quality is determined by how much it hurts if you hit someone with a printed copy of it.
2008-04-09 00:39 < Ceiling_Cat> p858snake - I have to submit 5 copies, plus one for myself
2008-04-09 00:40 < Ceiling_Cat> erm, no, 4 copies plus one for myself
2008-04-09 00:40 < Ceiling_Cat> (I think)
2008-04-09 00:40 < TroubleClef> Does being hit with printed angry words hurt more than being hit with printed nice words?
2008-04-09 00:40 < Ceiling_Cat> TroubleClef - when hitting someone, I prefer to go for books with *lots* of printed words
2008-04-09 00:41 < Ceiling_Cat> :P
2008-04-09 00:41 < Lucifer_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: <"try looking it up on wikipedia" joke suppressed>
2008-04-09 00:42 < SynergeticMag> wow
2008-04-09 00:42 < Ceiling_Cat> hi Lucifer_Cat
2008-04-09 00:42 < SynergeticMag> i just looked at this one AfD and its nom's reason to delete was its second AfD
2008-04-09 00:42 < Ceiling_Cat> :P
2008-04-09 00:42 < SynergeticMag> sound confusing? it usually is
2008-04-09 00:43 < Gracenotes> SynergeticMag: If at first you don't succeed...
2008-04-09 00:43 < SynergeticMag> telling me that now.... i read all 14 AfD's for daniel brandt last night
2008-04-09 00:43 < SynergeticMag> just reminded me of that
2008-04-09 00:44 < Gracenotes> most of them are quite short :)
2008-04-09 00:45 < SynergeticMag> i was looking for one editors responses only to find out it was on the DRV discussion which was, blanked
2008-04-09 00:45 < Lucifer_Cat> all hail the hypnotoad
2008-04-09 00:46 < SynergeticMag> how do i find out who requested the courtesy blanking?
2008-04-09 00:46 < SynergeticMag> anyone anyone?
2008-04-09 00:46 < Gracenotes> presumably by checking the history
2008-04-09 00:46 * Mike_H NP: Thompson Twins - King for a Day (1985)
2008-04-09 00:47 < SynergeticMag> nope, it was requested via private request
2008-04-09 00:48 < SynergeticMag> oh duh!
2008-04-09 00:48 < Nihiltres> p858snake: I deleted that template you mentioned
2008-04-09 00:48 < SynergeticMag> i can just view it before the blanking
2008-04-09 00:48 < SynergeticMag> i figured it was a protected blanking
2008-04-09 00:48 < Nihiltres> someone recreated it
2008-04-09 00:49 < Nihiltres> but it's completely redundant to a newer template that's way better
2008-04-09 00:49 < Nihiltres> or at least, a new version of the same template, that I helped design
2008-04-09 00:49 < SynergeticMag> is there an admin watching this conversation right now?
2008-04-09 00:51 < SynergeticMag> ok...
2008-04-09 00:52 * Ceiling_Cat is beat
2008-04-09 00:53 < Ceiling_Cat> writing a master's thesis should not be this hard
2008-04-09 00:53 < SynergeticMag> yeah, i say, forget about it
2008-04-09 01:00 < RobJ1981> Can I get some help with this talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_characters_in_Bully My comment keeps getting blanked out, and I've warned the user not to remove my comments. I told him about the notyours template, but he's ignored it.

2008-04-09 01:50 * Ceiling_Cat just got a totally unexpected result
2008-04-09 01:51 < p858snake> Ceiling_Cat: you foudn someone touching themselve?
2008-04-09 01:51 < Ceiling_Cat> p858snake - no, I was doing some test runs of a benchmark and the ones that should have been super duper slow were going about the same speed as the fastest ones
2008-04-09 01:51 < Ceiling_Cat> Totally contrary to my expectations
2008-04-09 01:52 < Ceiling_Cat> I was predicting it would take 30-40 days for them to finish, it looks like the slowest ones will be finished tomorrow afternoon
2008-04-09 01:52 < Ceiling_Cat> That is ... not what I was expecting
2008-04-09 01:52 < Ceiling_Cat> this will be a horrible headache for me when my advisor comes back later this week and asks what happened
2008-04-09 01:53 < Ceiling_Cat> anyway, I needz my sleep
2008-04-09 01:53 < Ceiling_Cat> goodnight folks!
