2008-04-09 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> lol
2008-04-09 22:54 < Mark_Ryan> oh, that's cool
2008-04-09 22:54 < Enterprise_Cat> I'm almost afraid to
2008-04-09 22:54 < Mark_Ryan> i once aspired to be a russian porn star
2008-04-09 22:54 < Arwen> <phi> and 3/3 isnt 1 <-- wut?
2008-04-09 22:55 < Leslie_S> nice! im banned in #defocus. awesome!
2008-04-09 22:55 < Leslie_S> about fucking time
2008-04-09 22:55 < Enterprise_Cat> ...
2008-04-09 22:55 < MahaPizza> I know there was a channel for it will someone just please tell me it so I don't mistype?
2008-04-09 22:56 < zocky> Mark_Ryan, what happened? didn't pass the IQ test?
2008-04-09 22:56 < MahaPizza> I need assistance, the administrator is a heavy editor on the pages and is doing this to drive me from them
2008-04-09 22:56 < Mark_Ryan> zocky: I'm just not sexy.
2008-04-09 22:56 < Enterprise_Cat> MahaPizza: There are no channels for requesting unblocking
2008-04-09 22:57 < zocky> "umm, sir, your IQ is over 90, which is unacceptable to us for book-keeping reasons"
2008-04-09 22:57 < Not_the_NSA> zocky: z0mg he failed the Wikimedia Admin IQ Test? Get the stewards!
2008-04-09 22:57 < Mark_Ryan> MahaPizza: there are two email addresses you can send unblock requests to. IRC doesn't do it, though
2008-04-09 22:57 * Not_the_NSA got "too smart to be an admin"
2008-04-09 22:57 < Enterprise_Cat> Not_the_NSA: omg teh commies
2008-04-09 22:57 < MahaPizza> I got back and there were half a dozen new things on my talk page, and then the administrator blocked me and threatened me if I return to the page
2008-04-09 22:57 < Mark_Ryan> try unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org
2008-04-09 22:57 < MahaPizza> and he refuses to discuss the reverts he keeps making
2008-04-09 22:58 < Enterprise_Cat> MahaPizza: May I have a link to your talk page please?
2008-04-09 22:58 < zocky> btw, since when is this no-unblock-requests-on-irc thing?
2008-04-09 22:58 < MahaPizza> its http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Maha_Pizza
2008-04-09 22:58 < Mark_Ryan> zocky: probably more a precautionary measure
2008-04-09 22:59 < MahaPizza> I dealt with Jaakobu and he was nice and showed what spot he was having a problem with the edits, but this other guy is just throwing himself around and insists I not edit his pages while he edits a ton on them and removes even a cnn transcript source
2008-04-09 22:59 < Enterprise_Cat> MahaPizza: You are in the wrong
2008-04-09 22:59 < Enterprise_Cat> MahaPizza: You violated the three revert rule for one
2008-04-09 22:59 < MahaPizza> No I didn't
2008-04-09 22:59 < MahaPizza> I never did three reverts
2008-04-09 22:59 < Mark_Ryan> how interesting, Jaakobu used to come on IRC trawling around for unblocks too. maybe it is he who told you that you might be able to get an unblock here?
2008-04-09 22:59 < Enterprise_Cat> Oh yes you did, based on what I see
2008-04-09 23:00 < MahaPizza> where?
2008-04-09 23:00 < MahaPizza> show me
2008-04-09 23:00 < zocky> ok, the block is so-so
2008-04-09 23:01 < zocky> the BLP violation depends on the interpretation whether CNN transcripts are reliable sources and what they're reliable for
2008-04-09 23:01 < MahaPizza> I have not broken any three revert rule
2008-04-09 23:01 < zocky> but, 3RR is not an entitlement
2008-04-09 23:01 < zocky> reverting stuff without discussing is frowned upon even if not done 3 times
2008-04-09 23:02 < MahaPizza> I worked with Jaakobu, and he told me to go ahead and clean up whatever needed once he'd shown me what he had an issue with, which was just me clicking on the wrong source link
2008-04-09 23:02 < MahaPizza> I never reverted without discussion
2008-04-09 23:02 < Enterprise_Cat> MahaPizza: I see also you were warned several times, and apparently you ignored those warnings
2008-04-09 23:02 < MahaPizza> I always left a note either on a personal talk page or the article talk page
2008-04-09 23:03 < MahaPizza> Enterprise ChrisO refused to discuss when I told him completely that I was working in the rules and even pointed out which rules to him
2008-04-09 23:03 < Enterprise_Cat> MahaPizza: The 3RR violation is you readding the CNN transcript after his removal
2008-04-09 23:03 < MahaPizza> I put the items back after waiting two days on the advice of the administrator who removed the page protection
2008-04-09 23:04 < MahaPizza> and then ChrisO came, and I placed discussion topics, and he refused to discuss, just kept reverting.
2008-04-09 23:04 < MahaPizza> And I only reverted twice.
2008-04-09 23:04 < MahaPizza> then I left, and when I got back, he's blocked me and slapped a ton of stuff on my page, and gone into slamming all sorts of prejudicial wording back into Pallywood
2008-04-09 23:05 < Enterprise_Cat> MahaPizza: First of all, your references are hardly what I would call reliable
2008-04-09 23:05 < MahaPizza> and hes attacking Jossi the same way
2008-04-09 23:05 < Enterprise_Cat> The Glenn Beck Show is not widely known for its unbiased and accurate reporting
2008-04-09 23:06 < Enterprise_Cat> MahaPizza: And it's pretty hard to misinterprate the BLP policy
2008-04-09 23:06 < MahaPizza> Enterprise your just out to attack me after lying about there being no irc channel, so Im just going to block messages from you now and go there
2008-04-09 23:06 < Enterprise_Cat> It's very simple:
2008-04-09 23:07 < MahaPizza> I was messaged that its #wikipedia-en-unblock so Im going there.
2008-04-09 23:07 < Enterprise_Cat> Well, MahaPizza is going to be mighty dissapointed
2008-04-09 23:07 < zocky> i'm not entirely happy with this block, but since it's only for 24 hours, and since you're obviously a little bit too animated about it, i'll pass
2008-04-09 23:07 < Mask> i have a question that i would like everyone to follow, because im about to explode over how pissed it makes me to think about
2008-04-09 23:08 * zocky alt-tabs
2008-04-09 23:08 < Mask> a user asks a new user, on an adoption program test, 'what is the goal of wikipedia?'
2008-04-09 23:08 < MahaPizza> yeah Ive been abused and I learned now the hard way dont expect anything else from wikipedia
2008-04-09 23:08 < MahaPizza> thanks 4 nothin zocky
2008-04-09 23:08 < Mask> answer is, 'to make a free encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to'
2008-04-09 23:08 < Enterprise_Cat> continue
2008-04-09 23:09 < Mask> on a scale of zero to two, two being completely right howmany points was that answer worth? like, in your estimate?
2008-04-09 23:09 < Enterprise_Cat> 1
2008-04-09 23:09 < Monobi> 2
2008-04-09 23:09 < Enterprise_Cat> Forgot the accuracy part
2008-04-09 23:09 < Monobi> 3
2008-04-09 23:09 < zocky> exactly 1.5i, where i is the number that expresses "total irrelevance"
2008-04-09 23:09 < Enterprise_Cat> To make an *Accurate* free encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to
2008-04-09 23:09 < Enterprise_Cat> heh
2008-04-09 23:10 < Mask> Enterprise_Cat, guessed righ, but the grading person was probably too dumb to find the logical loophole ent did
2008-04-09 23:10 < quanticle> Enterprise_Cat: Heh. That's raising the bar a bit, now isn't it?
2008-04-09 23:10 < zocky> we have tests and grades?
2008-04-09 23:10 < Mask> that answer was PERFECT in my judgement
2008-04-09 23:10 < zocky> wtf?
2008-04-09 23:10 < Enterprise_Cat> quanticle: Don't let people know that!
2008-04-09 23:10 < Mask> the new user nailed it
2008-04-09 23:10 < quanticle> Enterprise_Cat: Accuracy is for the weak!
2008-04-09 23:11 * zocky smells a mfd
2008-04-09 23:11 < Mask> but no, mister 150 mainspace edits adopter bonked it
2008-04-09 23:11 < zocky> where do these tests take place?
2008-04-09 23:11 < Enterprise_Cat> Mask: An adopter with 150 edits?
2008-04-09 23:11 < Mask> zocky, in a place we mfd'd last week
2008-04-09 23:11 < zocky> didn't we already get rid of esperanza?
2008-04-09 23:11 < Mask> Enterprise_Cat, 1500 edits, 150 of which were mainspace edits
2008-04-09 23:11 < Enterprise_Cat> wow
2008-04-09 23:12 < zocky> what's with all these adoptions and crap?
2008-04-09 23:12 < Enterprise_Cat> I don't like adoption
2008-04-09 23:12 < Dtobias> Does Enterprise_Cat belong to Captain Kirk?
2008-04-09 23:12 < Enterprise_Cat> Dtobias: No
2008-04-09 23:12 < Mask> zocky, its not the adoptions, its whose doing them
2008-04-09 23:12 < quanticle> Enterprise_Cat: What is this adoption stuff?
2008-04-09 23:12 < Dtobias> Beam it down, Scotty.
2008-04-09 23:12 < zocky> Mask, we're a project to write an encyclopedia, not a family planning center
2008-04-09 23:12 * Enterprise_Cat drops commie bomba on Dtobias
2008-04-09 23:12 < zocky> adoptions my ass
2008-04-09 23:12 < Enterprise_Cat> XD
2008-04-09 23:12 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat is Kirk's bitch
2008-04-09 23:12 < zocky> more MMORPG crap
2008-04-09 23:12 < Mask> nobody who should be adopting does, and the people who do we shouldnt let anywhere near new users
2008-04-09 23:13 < Lucifer_Cat> im glad you found that funny Enterprise_Cat :P
2008-04-09 23:13 < zocky> because nobody who's here to write an encyclopedia wants to do crap like adopt new users
2008-04-09 23:13 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: No, I was laughing at what zocky said
2008-04-09 23:13 < Dtobias> Have an abortion... then there's nothing that needs adopting.
2008-04-09 23:13 < zocky> because that has nothing to do with writing an encyclopedia
2008-04-09 23:13 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: Now, what you said is not the best thing to say to an op...
2008-04-09 23:13 < Monobi> Dtobias, :O
2008-04-09 23:13 < Enterprise_Cat> XD
2008-04-09 23:13 < dav7> hey... is it okay if I bring a bot in here so you guys can test it? it has a wikipedia search plugin I'm working on that's currently in alpha.
2008-04-09 23:13 < Mask> adoption is pointless, because none of us needed it, pointing to nobody needing it, i agree, but i dont care that much, call me a slacker
2008-04-09 23:14 < Lucifer_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: i know people who'd kill to be kirk's bitch :P
2008-04-09 23:14 < Enterprise_Cat> dav7: Ask Mark_Ryan
2008-04-09 23:14 < Mask> i only got pissed when i saw who was actually doing the adoptions
2008-04-09 23:14 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: heh
2008-04-09 23:14 < Mask> its without fail, always, morons
2008-04-09 23:14 < dav7> Mark_Ryan: is it okay if I bring a bot in here so you guys can test it? it has a wikipedia search plugin I'm working on that's currently in alpha.
2008-04-09 23:14 < Mark_Ryan> what does it do?
2008-04-09 23:14 < dav7> just for a few minutes, at least :P
2008-04-09 23:14 < quanticle> zocky: Heh. Its true. The serious users (the ones that almost by definition are the most valuable for newbies to hang around by) are too busy to take on apprentices. This leaves the not-so-serious drama-mongers, who do take on new users, and indoctrinate them into creating more drama, leading to a self-perpetuating cycle.
2008-04-09 23:14 < Lucifer_Cat> also, i guess the fun of calling a reptilian feline a bitch was lost on you :P
2008-04-09 23:14 < zocky> Lucifer_Cat, kirk is a semi-senile semi-drooling man in his 70s
2008-04-09 23:14 < Enterprise_Cat> ...
2008-04-09 23:15 < dav7> Mark_Ryan: just queries wikipedia and does a semi-attempt at figuring out the output. :P
2008-04-09 23:15 < quanticle> zocky: To be fair, Shatner isn't drooling quite yet.
2008-04-09 23:15 < Enterprise_Cat> I wonder how dissapointed Mr. Pizza willl be when he finds out they will not unblock you per IRC request :P
2008-04-09 23:15 < Lucifer_Cat> zocky: you forgot fat
2008-04-09 23:15 < Mark_Ryan> dav7, okay, it can join for an hour, then it goes
2008-04-09 23:15 < dav7> cool
2008-04-09 23:15 < dav7> woohoo
2008-04-09 23:15 < quanticle> dav7: What is it?
2008-04-09 23:15 < zocky> quanticle, not in the edited versions of movies/tv shows, anyway
2008-04-09 23:15 < dav7> Mark_Ryan: I have it handling #REDIRECT, /* Empty */ and other "interesting" responses, and it also filters out "stuff" until it finds what it things is the first line of the article.
2008-04-09 23:15 < dav7> ^ there it is
2008-04-09 23:16 < Enterprise_Cat> aha
2008-04-09 23:16 < Enterprise_Cat> how does it work?
2008-04-09 23:16 < dav7> it uses an organic address syntax, as it "what is ...?"
2008-04-09 23:16 < quanticle> zocky: True enough.
2008-04-09 23:16 < dav7> or "who is ...?"
2008-04-09 23:16 < Enterprise_Cat> what is food?
2008-04-09 23:16 < botzor> Enterprise_Cat: Finding out...
2008-04-09 23:16 < botzor> Enterprise_Cat: Food is any substance, usually composed primarily of carbohydrates, fats, water and/or proteins, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal for nutrition or pleasure. Items considered food may be sourced from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol. Although many human cultures sought food items through hunting and gathering, today most cultures use farming, ranchin

2008-04-09 23:16 < dav7> YAY, IT DIDN'T FAIL
2008-04-09 23:16 < zocky> don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of shatner
2008-04-09 23:16 < Enterprise_Cat> dav7: It should post less
2008-04-09 23:16 * dav7 hides
2008-04-09 23:16 < Mark_Ryan> that could be quite useful for a query channel
2008-04-09 23:16 < Mask> heh, i just noticed theres current drama on -en-unblock room for the first time in a long while, i thought it went away
2008-04-09 23:16 < zocky> but the idea that he's still sexually attractive is either silly or sick
2008-04-09 23:16 < dav7> Enterprise_Cat: I don't have limiting working *exactly* yet :P
2008-04-09 23:16 < Enterprise_Cat> heh
2008-04-09 23:16 < dav7> Mark_Ryan: thanks :D
2008-04-09 23:17 < quanticle> dav7: That's really cool, but I think it should post a link to the article, rather than flooding with the first few lines of the article.

Used as an insult, "your mother..." preys on widespread sentiments of filial piety, making the insult particularly and globally offensive.

The religion was founded in 2005 by Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution.

2008-04-09 23:18 < botzor> Mask: Happiness is emotion in which one experiences feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense joy. This definition is, however, a synonymous one rather than one based on analytic evaluation, because of the varied and elusive nature of happiness.

2008-04-09 23:19 < zocky> we've had all kinds of linky and lookup bots in here
2008-04-09 23:19 < Mask> who is them?
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Mask: Finding out...
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Mask: Them is the English third person accusative (i.e., used after a preposition or as the object of a verb) plural personal pronoun. ''They'' is the nominative form (i.e., subject of a phrase). ''Them'' is sometimes also used in the singular as the accusative form of the singular they. (See also: English personal pronouns).
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Mask: btw, I queried for "Them" as opposed to "them". You can read this article in full at http://en.wikipedia.org/Them.
2008-04-09 23:19 < zocky> the consensus seems to be that we don't want them
2008-04-09 23:19 < quanticle> zocky: And they all end up getting abused, don't they.
2008-04-09 23:19 < Lycurgus> botzor: get out.
2008-04-09 23:19 < Enterprise_Cat> dav7: And a spam filter that would catch, err, certain words
2008-04-09 23:19 < Lucifer_Cat> what is The Matrix?
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Lucifer_Cat: Finding out...
2008-04-09 23:19 < dav7> Enterprise_Cat: this is a brand new bot I just wrote, I'm still writing the "core", I'll be implementing flood protection pretty soon :P
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Lucifer_Cat: The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction action film written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski and starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, and Hugo Weaving. It was first released in the USA on March 31, 1999, and is the first entry in ''The Matrix'' series of films, comics, video games and animation. The film received four Academy Awards in the technical categories.
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Lucifer_Cat: btw, I queried for "The matrix" as opposed to "The Matrix" and also got redirected to "The Matrix". You can read this article in full at http://en.wikipedia.org/The_Matrix.
2008-04-09 23:19 < dav7> Enterprise_Cat: yeah that too
2008-04-09 23:19 < zocky> quanticle, nah, my linky bot was ok, but people still complained
2008-04-09 23:19 < Mask> what is spider pig?
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Mask: Finding out...
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Mask:
2008-04-09 23:19 < botzor> Mask: btw, I queried for "Spider pig" as opposed to "spider pig" and also got redirected to "List of animals in The Simpsons#Plopper". You can read this article in full at http://en.wikipedia.org/List_of_animals_in_The_Simpsons#Plopper.
2008-04-09 23:19 < quanticle> zocky: What did your linky bot do?
2008-04-09 23:19 < Lucifer_Cat> where is the love?
2008-04-09 23:19 < Mark_Ryan> okay, dav7, had enough testing?
2008-04-09 23:19 < dav7> sure have
2008-04-09 23:19 < zocky> ok, either the bot gets kicked or the next person who activates the bot gets kicked
2008-04-09 23:19 < Enterprise_Cat> ahh
2008-04-09 23:19 < dav7> btw, it actually colorizes and formats output, but this channel is blocking it
2008-04-09 23:20 < Mask> what is love. baby dont hurt me. dont hurt me no more
2008-04-09 23:20 < Mark_Ryan> I hope we helped you, dav7.
2008-04-09 23:20 < Dtobias> Who is The One Who Must Not Be Named?
2008-04-09 23:20 < dav7> Mark_Ryan: you did, heaps
2008-04-09 23:20 < dav7> :P
2008-04-09 23:20 < zocky> quanticle, send a PM to the person to whom a link was addressed
2008-04-09 23:20 < Lucifer_Cat> dav7: impressive bot nonetheless
2008-04-09 23:20 < Enterprise_Cat> dav7: Feel free to experiment with it in ##fastlizard4
2008-04-09 23:20 < Mask> who is the shadow
2008-04-09 23:20 < dav7> Lucifer_Cat: thanks
2008-04-09 23:20 < Mask> who is the shadow?
2008-04-09 23:20 < quanticle> zocky: Banned for PM spam?
2008-04-09 23:20 < Enterprise_Cat> Mask: It left :P
2008-04-09 23:20 < dav7> Enterprise_Cat: ah, ok, I'll bring it there now and again :P
2008-04-09 23:20 < Mask> damn youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!
2008-04-09 23:20 < dav7> Mask: both of those would have worked
2008-04-09 23:20 < dav7> lol
2008-04-09 23:20 < Mask> ill never be happy again
2008-04-09 23:20 < dav7> hah
2008-04-09 23:21 < zocky> quanticle, nah, banned for "speaking bots not allowed" :)
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> here's what I have working, in terms of "input":
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> what is <x>
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> what is <x>?
2008-04-09 23:21 < quanticle> zocky: Ah. Ok.
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> what is a <x>?
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> what is an <x>?
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> who (instead of what) *all of the above*
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> what does <x> mean?
2008-04-09 23:21 < Dtobias> What is <x>, baby don't <y> me, don't <y> me, no more
2008-04-09 23:21 < quanticle> dav7: Its nice and all that you're doing this, but where are you going to use it?
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> ^ those are what I have implemented
2008-04-09 23:21 < Mark_Ryan> what if you ask "What is An Affair to Remember"? will it query [[An Affair to Remember]] or [[Affair to Remember]]?
2008-04-09 23:21 < zocky> i should resurrect my wikiquiz boz when I find the time (or the source)
2008-04-09 23:21 < dav7> quanticle: on my own channel :P
2008-04-09 23:22 < quanticle> dav7: Ah. Ok.
2008-04-09 23:22 < Enterprise_Cat> dav7: There is only one prequisite to testing it in ##fastlizard4 - op yoruself
2008-04-09 23:22 < Mask> if you instert an easter egg where it answers with haddway when asked what love is, i will lo ve you forever
2008-04-09 23:22 < Mask> i hate techno, but that song is awesome
2008-04-09 23:22 < Brian> Question for anyone here, does anyone have any guesses about how to pronounce this word: Naats'ihch'oh
2008-04-09 23:22 < dav7> Mark_Ryan: it wouldn't even listen, since it tests if you said "what" as opposed to "\"what" or "What" or "\"What", which I'll be fixing :P
2008-04-09 23:22 < dav7> Enterprise_Cat: haha
2008-04-09 23:22 < quanticle> Mask: Don't forget that the answer to "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?" ought to be 42
2008-04-09 23:22 < Lucifer_Cat> dav7: hes serious
2008-04-09 23:22 < Enterprise_Cat> dav7: No, really - that's how people know you are the bot operator
2008-04-09 23:22 < Mask> brian, i can pronounce it as a tlingit word
2008-04-09 23:22 < dav7> Lucifer_Cat: ...!
2008-04-09 23:23 < dav7> Enterprise_Cat: ohh, ok
2008-04-09 23:23 < zocky> Brian, google knows
2008-04-09 23:23 < Dtobias> dav7, So that's why it always ignored me? I thought it just hated me.
2008-04-09 23:23 < dav7> Dtobias: sorry... I didn't even think of multicase input. heh
2008-04-09 23:23 < zocky> well, sort of... one link says Naats'ihch'oh (pronounced naah-tseen-CHO)
2008-04-09 23:23 < Brian> No it doesn't
2008-04-09 23:23 < zocky> and another says Naats'ihch'oh (NAT-chee-oh)
2008-04-09 23:23 < dav7> I actually have a couple of other networks that I test this on... my own, and a "port-closed" dev network a couple of people have used ssh forwarding to get onto :P
2008-04-09 23:23 < Mark_Ryan> Brian: Nazi-co?
2008-04-09 23:23 * Enterprise_Cat wonders if there is a Wikipedia article on [[Quo'noS]]
2008-04-09 23:23 < quanticle> Anyway, I'm off for the night.
2008-04-09 23:24 < Brian> Yeah, that's the problem
2008-04-09 23:24 < Brian> Most say NAT-chee-oh
2008-04-09 23:24 < Brian> But naah-tseen-CHO makes more sense
2008-04-09 23:24 < Enterprise_Cat> omg there is
2008-04-09 23:24 < zocky> naah-tseen-CHO looks more correct, based on the sources
2008-04-09 23:24 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle|away: tortilla chips with jalapeno sauce?
2008-04-09 23:24 < Brian> Of course, I don't speak Dene so I have no idea
2008-04-09 23:24 < Enterprise_Cat> *not
2008-04-09 23:24 * Enterprise_Cat kills enter key
2008-04-09 23:24 < zocky> natcheeoh is what they say on the radio, so it must be wrong
2008-04-09 23:25 < quanticle|away> Lucifer_Cat: Don't mind if I do.
2008-04-09 23:25 * quanticle|away grabs some chips and sauce to go
2008-04-09 23:25 < Lucifer_Cat> not at all. help yerself
2008-04-09 23:25 * Dtobias grabs silicon chips and a reliable source to go
2008-04-09 23:25 * quanticle|away is really going away now
2008-04-09 23:25 < Mask> Enterprise_Cat, a very irate mahapizza or something just complained you lied to him in the unblock room. What did you get into?:)
2008-04-09 23:26 < Enterprise_Cat> Mask: I said that they would not take unblock requests there
2008-04-09 23:26 < zocky> how much are tortillas in a supermarket in US?
2008-04-09 23:26 < Fennec> ask safeway.com
2008-04-09 23:26 < zocky> the prices here seem like a rip-off, which would be normal for an "exotic" food item
2008-04-09 23:26 < Enterprise_Cat> ASK GOOGLE!
2008-04-09 23:27 < Brian> Zocky, where did you hear that?
2008-04-09 23:27 < Mask> zocky, like 8 bucks for 15
2008-04-09 23:27 < Enterprise_Cat> Mask: The average reaction of an idiot trolll pretending to be a good user
2008-04-09 23:27 < Cyrius> zocky: cheap.
2008-04-09 23:27 < Mask> err, mind you thats alaska
2008-04-09 23:27 < Fennec> $.12/oz.
2008-04-09 23:27 < Mask> ymmv
2008-04-09 23:27 < Cyrius> a bit more than ordinary loaf bread
2008-04-09 23:27 < Mask> Enterprise_Cat, they do, though, just fyi
2008-04-09 23:27 < Fennec> $4.25 for 14
2008-04-09 23:27 < Enterprise_Cat> Mask: No, they don't from what I am told
2008-04-09 23:28 < zocky> they're ~3 euros for 8 here
2008-04-09 23:28 < Cyrius> cheap enough that I don't pay attention =)
2008-04-09 23:28 < Enterprise_Cat> Mask: They will /review/ the block, but they will not unblock you without a request on your talk page
2008-04-09 23:28 < Dtobias> What's the average reaction of a good user unfairly accused of being an idiot troll?
2008-04-09 23:28 < Cyrius> zocky: corn or flour?
2008-04-09 23:28 < Enterprise_Cat> Dtobias: Calm and logical
2008-04-09 23:28 < zocky> Cyrius, flour
2008-04-09 23:28 < Mask> Enterprise_Cat, thats not hard and fask, it does the samethings as the unblock-l list
2008-04-09 23:28 < Lucifer_Cat> $2.5 for 28Oz
2008-04-09 23:28 < Cyrius> Dtobias: a _good_ user? what Enterprise_Cat said
2008-04-09 23:28 < Lucifer_Cat> today's price
2008-04-09 23:28 < Cyrius> an average user gets mad and yells about it
2008-04-09 23:29 * zocky goes ask google for conversion to earthling units
2008-04-09 23:29 < Enterprise_Cat> Mask: Not from what I was told by an admin
2008-04-09 23:29 < Lucifer_Cat> zocky: 794g
2008-04-09 23:29 < zocky> 1.5 euros for 0.8 kg
2008-04-09 23:29 < zocky> that's 2-3 times cheaper than here
2008-04-09 23:29 < Lucifer_Cat> zocky: depends on brand
2008-04-09 23:29 < Mask> Enterprise_Cat, ive got the email to the list announcing the room in my unblock-l label, i can go copy the statement that says it will do all the same things as the list if you wish :)
2008-04-09 23:30 < zocky> the worst thing is, I'm sure that the prices in italy are closer to yours than to ours
2008-04-09 23:30 < zocky> and it's just 100 km away
2008-04-09 23:30 < Cyrius> there's not really that much to a tortilla, and europe's got the ingredients
2008-04-09 23:30 * Lucifer_Cat looks at all countries within 100 miles of italy
2008-04-09 23:30 < Cyrius> 60 miles
2008-04-09 23:30 < Lucifer_Cat> oops
2008-04-09 23:31 < Lucifer_Cat> yeah
2008-04-09 23:31 < Mask> Cyrius, a tortilla in spain is not a tortilla in mexico. ones a potato dish, the others a.... well, tortilla
2008-04-09 23:31 < zocky> well, italy is 0 km far from slovenia
2008-04-09 23:31 < Enterprise_Cat> Mask: No, I don't need proof, I believe you
2008-04-09 23:31 < zocky> yeah, we're talking mexican tortillas, of course
2008-04-09 23:31 < Cyrius> Mask: so? my point was that it didn't require exotic ingredients and esoteric manufacturing practices
2008-04-09 23:31 < zocky> not spanish or "french" tortillas
2008-04-09 23:31 < Dtobias> Then what's the price in Mexican pesos?
2008-04-09 23:31 < zocky> (the latter being the spanish name for an omelette)
2008-04-09 23:32 < Fennec> about 9.4 cents
2008-04-09 23:32 < Fennec> at the current exchange rate :P
2008-04-09 23:32 < Mask> well, just your statement 'europe has the ingrediants'... i was making a joke, like, well they do, but theyre probably thinking different ingrediants then you :)
2008-04-09 23:32 < Mask> Cyrius, ^
2008-04-09 23:32 < Lucifer_Cat> *ingredients
2008-04-09 23:32 < Mask> thx
2008-04-09 23:32 < Fennec> 5.9 Euro-cents. :P
2008-04-09 23:33 < FastLizard4|Food> omg eurocents
2008-04-09 23:33 < Lucifer_Cat> whats the smaller unit of euro?
2008-04-09 23:33 < zocky> cent
2008-04-09 23:33 < Mask> picaeuros!
2008-04-09 23:33 < Fennec> centi.
2008-04-09 23:34 < Mask> nano euros
2008-04-09 23:34 < zocky> but the way inflation is going these last 2 years, nobody will remember euro cents soon
2008-04-09 23:34 < Fennec> smaller unit of euro? you mean the dollar? *insert groan here*
2008-04-09 23:34 < Cyrius> Fennec: you saw the "new $3 coin" thing?
2008-04-09 23:34 < Lucifer_Cat> zocky: dont phone companies charge like E99.99
2008-04-09 23:35 < Mark_Ryan> not all european countries use the 1 euro cent coins, do they?
2008-04-09 23:35 < Fennec> Cyrius: no!
2008-04-09 23:35 < Fennec> Cyrius: I like $2 bills and $1 coins though
2008-04-09 23:35 < zocky> Mark_Ryan, no, and even those that do don't really
2008-04-09 23:35 < Mask> Lucifer_Cat, that, in us dollars, is about what im paying now, 169.99 us for home, cell, data on cell, and internet
2008-04-09 23:35 < Cyrius> Fennec: I think you interpreted me rather literally
2008-04-09 23:36 < zocky> the smallest coin that buys you anything is 20 cents
2008-04-09 23:36 < Fennec> Cyrius: oh, is some euro-coin joke? :P
2008-04-09 23:36 < Cyrius> Fennec: aye, links went to the 2 euro coin
2008-04-09 23:36 < zocky> there are 3-euro coins too
2008-04-09 23:36 < Fennec> I need to get a supply of $2s
2008-04-09 23:36 < zocky> but not in regular use
2008-04-09 23:36 < Lucifer_Cat> just 3 of them?
2008-04-09 23:36 < Cyrius> zocky: this was floating around when the exchange rate hit 1:1.5
2008-04-09 23:37 < zocky> http://www.coins-and-banknotes.com/Coins-World/EURO-Coins/Euro-coins-from-SLOVENIA/3-Euro-2007-Commemorative-SL-New-2007-UNC-2.html
2008-04-09 23:37 < Fennec> anyway. Currency schmurrency, it'll wibble and wobble. Just don't get your mortgage denominated in Euros when your salary's in USD. :P and buy American! they're cheap! >.>
2008-04-09 23:37 < zocky> zomg, slovenia minted them first... and probably last, since it's a silly thing to do
2008-04-09 23:37 < zocky> $ 92.53 for a 3-euro coin
2008-04-09 23:39 < zocky> ooh, and $ 43.83 for a fairly regular 2-euro coin
2008-04-09 23:39 < zocky> i need to start collecting those when I get them in a shop
2008-04-09 23:41 < Lycurgus> does anybody have a unique name in RL?
2008-04-09 23:41 < Mask> zocky, oh, is that the exchange rate today? ;)
2008-04-09 23:41 < Mask> Lycurgus, Brock Magnusson Weller
2008-04-09 23:41 < Mask> and im 100% american
2008-04-09 23:42 < Mask> no weird foreign thing to explain iyt
2008-04-09 23:42 < Mask> it*
2008-04-09 23:43 < Lycurgus> when you google Brock Magnusson Weller do you find it appearing in contexts that don't make sense?
2008-04-09 23:44 < Lycurgus> like 19th century marriages or as author of books by someone else named Weller?
2008-04-09 23:45 < Lycurgus> looks like it's not that unique; google returns nearly 3K entries. My name returns less than 70.
2008-04-09 23:46 < Lycurgus> ah, Brock Weller alone returned 43.
2008-04-09 23:46 < Mask> Results 1 - 10 of about 815 for "Brock Magnusson Weller". (0.46 seconds)

2008-04-09 23:46 < Mask> use quotes, theres more on brock weller
2008-04-09 23:46 < Mask> mostly me, too
2008-04-09 23:46 < Mask> exclusively me, actually
2008-04-09 23:46 < Mark_Ryan> try googling "Mark Ryan". :P
2008-04-09 23:47 < Mask> well, except the satire magazine article about a brock weller asking his doctor for a knockout pill instead of going on a vacation with his family
2008-04-09 23:48 < Mask> i just found that
2008-04-09 23:48 < Mask> and its not me
2008-04-09 23:48 < Lycurgus> that's a very common name
2008-04-09 23:51 < zocky> mmm.... half of the people in the big brother house are sleeping in coffins
2008-04-09 23:55 < OverlordQ> good for them
2008-04-09 23:56 < OverlordQ> probably allergic to light
2008-04-10 00:03 < Sponge> I have a shirt that says Keep out of Direct Sunlight...
2008-04-10 00:05 < koavf> Are any admins on that can delete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Koavf/simplify.js for me?
2008-04-10 00:05 < OverlordQ> just put the apropriate speedy tag on it
2008-04-10 00:06 < koavf> If I put in tags, it doesn't work.
2008-04-10 00:06 < koavf> Check it.
2008-04-10 00:06 < Cyrius> ST47 already deleted it once
2008-04-10 00:06 < koavf> I suppose I could add it to a speedy delete category; do you think that would do the trick?
2008-04-10 00:07 < koavf> Yes.
2008-04-10 00:07 < OverlordQ> meh, that's evil
2008-04-10 00:07 < koavf> I needed to modify it and start all over again.
2008-04-10 00:07 < koavf> Yes, it is.
2008-04-10 00:07 < koavf> I would happily delete it myself if I could.
2008-04-10 00:07 < Cyrius> you don't need to delete it for that
2008-04-10 00:07 < Cyrius> history does not get executed
2008-04-10 00:07 < koavf> Okay, well if you want to leave it there, that's fine by me.
2008-04-10 00:07 < koavf> I figure it's just sitting there doing nothing.
2008-04-10 00:07 < Cyrius> orangemike already deleted it
2008-04-10 00:07 < koavf> But I suppose I'm ultimately indifferent.
2008-04-10 00:08 < koavf> Oh, again?
2008-04-10 00:08 < koavf> Huh.
2008-04-10 00:08 < koavf> Is he on here?
2008-04-10 00:08 < Cyrius> not that I'm aware of
2008-04-10 00:08 < koavf> How did he see that?
2008-04-10 00:08 < koavf> Did {{db-author}} work?
2008-04-10 00:08 < koavf> That's odd; it wasn't in the speedy category.
2008-04-10 00:10 < koavf> Well, I posted on his talk.
2008-04-10 00:10 < koavf> Thanks.

2008-04-10 00:14 < ahlfors> very nice
2008-04-10 00:14 < ahlfors> what is the origin of "van diemen's land"?
2008-04-10 00:15 < Mark_Ryan> probably dutch for "land of the demons" or something
2008-04-10 00:15 * Mark_Ryan shrugs
2008-04-10 00:15 < Mark_Ryan> tasmanian history has never been taught much here
2008-04-10 00:15 < Mark_Ryan> they have Tasmanian Devils, maybe they got it from that
2008-04-10 00:16 < ahlfors> so it's not like the U2 song?
2008-04-10 00:17 < Cyrius> [[Van Diemen's Land]]
2008-04-10 00:18 < Cyrius> "He named the island Anthoonij van Diemenslandt in honour of Anthony van Diemen, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies..."

2008-04-10 00:58 < Demi> "If he doesn't learn how to use his magic properly, firing the wrong spell could kill him. What kind of shit-ass magic is that?"
2008-04-10 01:01 < Fennec> Demi: sounds like the kind which conforms to a vague set of rules and principles, artifacts of which may induce death in the caster if the magic is invoked or manipulated in a particular fashion (one that a trained individual could presumably know to avoid)
2008-04-10 01:01 < Demi> this is from a review of eragon
2008-04-10 01:01 < Sponge> Its like gasoline...

2008-04-10 01:34 < Ceiling_Cat> they usually like to give us a head's up of newsworthy things coming down the pike
2008-04-10 01:34 < Enterprise_Cat> :OP
2008-04-10 01:34 < Ceiling_Cat> because it's a good idea if your press contacts know what is going on

2008-04-10 01:41 * Ryulong uses google-fu to communicate with the Japanese Wikipedians
2008-04-10 01:42 < Mike_H> "Who's Holding Donna Now" is a 1985 hit single recorded by DeBarge for the Gordy label. It was their second consecutive top ten US hit after the release of "Rhythm of the Night" becoming an easy eighties soft rock favorite.
2008-04-10 01:42 < The359> soft rock
2008-04-10 01:42 < The359> two words that do not belong together
2008-04-10 01:42 < Demi> fuck her gently is soft rock, and awesome
2008-04-10 01:43 < Demi> and could be a debarge tune, for that matter
2008-04-10 01:43 < Mike_H> Demi: Maybe El DeBarge.
2008-04-10 01:43 < Demi> yea
2008-04-10 01:43 < Demi> h
2008-04-10 01:43 < Mike_H> Eldra Patrick DeBarge (born June 4, 1961) is an American R&B and soul falsetto singer, the focal point and lead singer of the DeBarge family group throughout the early 1980s.
2008-04-10 01:43 < Mike_H> God, the notability requirements get lower and lower.
