2008-04-11 03:24 < ViciousGu> Found it :)
2008-04-11 03:25 < ViciousGu> Sent - thanks :)
2008-04-11 03:54 < denelson83> toresbe: Half-past-eight is 8:30
2008-04-11 03:55 < NoPegs> british say half x though... half of or half past? :)
2008-04-11 03:55 < toresbe> I think the "past" merely becomes implicit.
2008-04-11 03:55 < denelson83> Or you can just say "bottom of the hour"
2008-04-11 03:56 < denelson83> Just like "top of the hour", "north time" and "south time"
2008-04-11 03:56 < Mark_Ryan> i have never heard anyone say "bottom of the hour"
2008-04-11 03:57 < Mark_Ryan> i have heard someone say "top of the morning" though
2008-04-11 03:57 < denelson83> That's an Irish greeting
2008-04-11 03:57 < NoPegs> I have... But I have acquantences on 5 continents and 35 countries... :)
2008-04-11 03:58 < denelson83> That's "in 35 countries on five continents"
2008-04-11 03:58 < NoPegs> countries are golitical in boundary... continents are based on science. :)
2008-04-11 03:59 < NoPegs> *political
2008-04-11 04:00 < NoPegs> Speaking of which I have $50 that says china invades south america and goes colonial before 2050. :)
2008-04-11 04:00 * denelson83 wants the PRC to DIE!
2008-04-11 04:00 < NoPegs> it is either gonna be south america, or the MOON!
2008-04-11 04:00 * denelson83 feels lightheaded
2008-04-11 04:07 * NoPegs also has $20 on a catastrophe at Three Gorges Dam in china before 2050 also... :)

2008-04-11 05:32 < The359> what do you mean, put a link to it?
2008-04-11 05:33 < Jaqen> The359: to let wikipedians know
2008-04-11 05:33 < The359> looks to me like it's for non-Wikipedians
2008-04-11 05:34 < Jaqen> it doesn't mean that non-Wikipedians are not allowed to enter :-D
2008-04-11 05:34 * The359 shrug
2008-04-11 05:34 < Jaqen> or that it couldn't be interesting for them

2008-04-11 08:13 < p858snake> on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothers & Sisters (2006 TV series) is there a better template we could use instead of "Not to be confused with..." it just dosn't sound worded that nicely
2008-04-11 08:13 < Mark_Ryan> try [[Template:For]]
2008-04-11 08:34 < p858snake> is adding unneeded/random links to a articles see also section classes as being a vandal?
2008-04-11 08:34 < Chris_G> vand/spam
2008-04-11 08:35 < p858snake> because this guy [[User_talk:202.61.173.77]] is back and already started
2008-04-11 08:36 < Chris_G> He's inactive - last edit was a few hours ago, I'll give him a warning though
2008-04-11 08:38 < p858snake> what i ment by back was that he started editing after his block not active as in online now :p
2008-04-11 08:44 < Leslie_S> bleh
2008-04-11 08:44 < Leslie_S> my power went out last night, and my computer lost power almost immediately. wtf.
2008-04-11 08:44 < Leslie_S> my ups always worked fine before
2008-04-11 09:05 < White_Cat> Leslie_S
2008-04-11 09:05 < White_Cat> So if god created universe in 6 days and rested on the 7th
2008-04-11 09:05 < White_Cat> does that mean walmart employees work more than god?
2008-04-11 09:07 < Cyrius> god works smarter, not harder?
2008-04-11 09:07 < kenlyric> spiritual soup is the best cooking quest now
2008-04-11 09:08 < Golbez> so
2008-04-11 09:08 < Golbez> i'm browsing skyscraper articles on wikipedia
2008-04-11 09:08 < Golbez> as i occasionally do
2008-04-11 09:08 < kenlyric> a common hobby
2008-04-11 09:08 < Golbez> and come across [[Beekman Place Tower]], a building under construction in Manhattan
2008-04-11 09:08 < p858snake> White_Cat: ceiling cat took over on the 7th day for him
2008-04-11 09:08 < Golbez> and I see these words and have a deep feeling of dread:
2008-04-11 09:09 < Golbez> "The tower, designed by architect Frank Gehry,"
2008-04-11 09:09 < Golbez> ...
2008-04-11 09:09 < Cyrius> oh god
2008-04-11 09:09 < Golbez> http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=487386
2008-04-11 09:09 < Golbez> HOW DOES THIS MAN GET WORK
2008-04-11 09:09 < Golbez> I MEAN WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE
2008-04-11 09:09 < kenlyric> kevin costner's agent
2008-04-11 09:09 < White_Cat> Golbez he is hired by gays I suppose
2008-04-11 09:09 < Golbez> i can accept Gehry in small, inconsequential doses
2008-04-11 09:09 < Golbez> but we don't need SEVENTY SIX STORIES of him
2008-04-11 09:09 < Cyrius> Golbez: have you read any of pratchett's discworld novels?
2008-04-11 09:09 < kenlyric> gays like solid firm buildings
2008-04-11 09:09 < Golbez> nay
2008-04-11 09:09 < kenlyric> ok?

2008-04-11 09:10 < Cyrius> Golbez: ah, well
2008-04-11 09:10 < Cyrius> one of his background characters is Bergholt Stuttley Johnson
2008-04-11 09:10 < Golbez> and kenlyric, good idea, maybe costner and gehry share agents
2008-04-11 09:10 < Cyrius> Bloody Stupid Johnson
2008-04-11 09:10 < Golbez> heh
2008-04-11 09:10 < White_Cat> Golbez think of it this way
2008-04-11 09:11 < White_Cat> when a jet strikes it
2008-04-11 09:11 < White_Cat> no one will miss it
2008-04-11 09:11 < Golbez> I mean, I have no problem with weird concepts in skyscraper design. I love the [[Turning Torso]].
2008-04-11 09:11 < Golbez> The difference is, the Turning Torso doesn't make my eyes bleed.
2008-04-11 09:11 < JessicaTaylor> So many cats.
2008-04-11 09:11 < Golbez> How the hell does Gehry keep getting work? How can so many people with so much money have so little taste?
2008-04-11 09:11 < White_Cat> Golbez well
2008-04-11 09:12 < White_Cat> even dogs have a sense of taste
2008-04-11 09:12 < Cyrius> Golbez: anyway, this fictional guy was so bad that people would have him do stuff just to see what would happen
2008-04-11 09:12 < White_Cat> thats why they lick their own butt
2008-04-11 09:12 * arcimboldo_ 's company is constructing a Gehry building in their headquarter campus
2008-04-11 09:12 < Talking_Cat> JessicaTaylor: have an issue, with us cats?
2008-04-11 09:12 < Golbez> arcimboldo_- my condolences
2008-04-11 09:12 < JessicaTaylor> Naw I luv kittehz
2008-04-11 09:12 < White_Cat> Golbez it is not so bad
2008-04-11 09:12 < Golbez> Cyrius- lol
2008-04-11 09:13 < Cyrius> Golbez: he designed the Colossus of Ankh-Morpork...which was one inch high
2008-04-11 09:13 < White_Cat> Golbez so long as you work in the building
2008-04-11 09:13 < White_Cat> you wont be able to see it
2008-04-11 09:13 < Golbez> Cyrius- i'm sure it was just a Spinal Tap-esque error in proportions.
2008-04-11 09:13 < Cyrius> Golbez: well, he's also designed a machine where pi=3
2008-04-11 09:14 < White_Cat> On 18 August 2006, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner parachuted onto the Turning Torso, and then jumped off it.
2008-04-11 09:14 < Cyrius> which of course distorts the universe
2008-04-11 09:14 < Golbez> My first exposure to Gehry was when there was a school shooting scare at Case Western Reserve University, and I saw this... strange monstrosity on my screen.
2008-04-11 09:14 < White_Cat> Cyrius pie!
2008-04-11 09:14 < Golbez> http://www.kunstler.com/eyesore_200510.JPG i mean what the hell
2008-04-11 09:14 < White_Cat> pi*e
2008-04-11 09:14 < Golbez> as i said - i can accept him in small doses. That building, while weird and funky, is just that - weird and funky. And if a university wants it, fine. But don't subject me to 76 stories of the madman.
2008-04-11 09:15 < p858snake> Golbez: wtf... was he on drigs?
2008-04-11 09:15 < p858snake> *drugs
2008-04-11 09:15 < Cyrius> Golbez: anyway, the point was that even though everyone knew he was going to mess it up, they paid him anyway out of curiosity
2008-04-11 09:15 < Golbez> p858snake- Frank Gehry's architecture is just plain *weird*. Yet, while weird, it all has the same elements - wavy, misplaced steel.
2008-04-11 09:15 < Cyrius> I suppose that gehry is similar
2008-04-11 09:15 < Golbez> Cyrius- to see how amazing his next screwup would be?
2008-04-11 09:16 < Golbez> I suppose the only bright side to him making a skyscraper is that he can't have metal shooting off it as much as he does his other buildings, due to the whole height and wind thing.
2008-04-11 09:16 < Golbez> But still, http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=487386 looks scary bad.
2008-04-11 09:16 < White_Cat> Golbez so
2008-04-11 09:16 < White_Cat> do you think
2008-04-11 09:17 < White_Cat> we can blow up mr Gehry?
2008-04-11 09:17 < Cyrius> frank gehry howto: 1) design regular building 2) build plastic model 3) soften model with blowtorch 4) apply random twists
2008-04-11 09:17 < Golbez> no
2008-04-11 09:17 < Golbez> Cyrius- haha
2008-04-11 09:17 < Golbez> basically, yes
2008-04-11 09:17 < White_Cat> Cyrius I dont think so
2008-04-11 09:18 < Golbez> or in the case of the Case Western Reserve building: 1) design regular building, 2) put over stove, 3) wait until it pops like popcorn
2008-04-11 09:18 < White_Cat> I think he uses a computer to randomly generate twists
2008-04-11 09:18 < Cyrius> it applies to a significant fraction of his designs
2008-04-11 09:18 < Golbez> that's the only way to describe it
2008-04-11 09:18 < Golbez> it looks popped.
2008-04-11 09:18 < Cyrius> oh, and randomly drape aluminum foil over result
2008-04-11 09:19 < Golbez> uh oh, more dread: "Having grown up in Canada, Gehry is a huge fan of hockey. He began a hockey league in his office, though he no longer plays with them. In 2004, he designed the trophy for the World Cup of Hockey."
2008-04-11 09:19 < White_Cat> Golbez maybe he watches too much anime
2008-04-11 09:20 * Golbez does a vaderesque 'noooooooooo': http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040514/sp6.jpg
2008-04-11 09:20 < Golbez> what the criminy is that
2008-04-11 09:20 < Golbez> that is not a trophy
2008-04-11 09:21 < greenmanwitch> how does one become a wikipedia moderator?
2008-04-11 09:21 < Cyrius> that looks like the base of an ugly centerpiece
2008-04-11 09:21 < White_Cat> Golbez it is a throphy
2008-04-11 09:21 < White_Cat> you know the "lists of shame"
2008-04-11 09:21 < Cyrius> greenmanwitch: step one is to be around long enough to know that we don't have anything called a "moderator"
2008-04-11 09:21 < White_Cat> they give out those
2008-04-11 09:21 < Golbez> greenmanwitch- you mean administrator? Check the guidelines and information on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship
2008-04-11 09:21 < greenmanwitch> Cyrius: hah.
2008-04-11 09:21 < White_Cat> Golbez eww
2008-04-11 09:21 < White_Cat> you linked to AFD
2008-04-11 09:21 < White_Cat> err
2008-04-11 09:21 < White_Cat> RFA
2008-04-11 09:22 < Golbez> "According to the Los Angeles Times, Disney Hall in downtown Los Angeles has "roasted the sidewalk to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, enough to melt plastic and cause serious sunburn to people standing on the street."" brav-o.
2008-04-11 09:22 < Cyrius> nice
2008-04-11 09:23 < White_Cat> Disney Hall?
2008-04-11 09:23 < White_Cat> Golbez imagine what will happen when AnimeExpo starts
2008-04-11 09:23 < White_Cat> If peaceful Disney can do that...
2008-04-11 09:23 < Golbez> White_Cat- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Waltdisney2007.jpg
2008-04-11 09:24 < Golbez> "The Gehry-designed building for Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University was originally planned to cost $25 million, then was raised to $40 million after Gehry was hired." "... we got comments like the one we got from a steel contractor, who said, 'Look, we can build a bunch of square boxes and earn the same $20-million that it will cost to build your building. But we can do those in six months, and it will tak
2008-04-11 09:24 < White_Cat> Their response was a computer analysis of the building's surfaces identifying the offending panels. In 2005 these were dulled by lighty sanding the panels to eliminate unwanted glare.:)
2008-04-11 09:24 < White_Cat> there is a smiley in the article
2008-04-11 09:25 < Golbez> "The building has also been criticized as insensitive to the needs of its inhabitants, poorly designed for day-to-day use, and at an official cost $283.5 million, overpriced." That sums up Gehry nicely. ([[Stata Center]])
2008-04-11 09:26 < Cyrius> insensitive?
2008-04-11 09:26 < Cyrius> I tried to make sense of that, but the only thing I could come up with is synonymous with the second complaint there
2008-04-11 09:27 < Golbez> insensitive in that the interior walls are transparent and the acoustics are nonexistent, but the day-to-day use issue is compounded by the vertigo caused by the slightly-off-angle walls. =p
2008-04-11 09:28 < White_Cat> Cyrius help me find this?
2008-04-11 09:28 < Golbez> the funny thing is, the Stata Center is one of his least offensive designs to me. I kinda like it, in a university context. However, it just seems to prove that while the man is creative, he has no understanding of functionality.

2008-04-11 09:28 < White_Cat> the :) first appears in that version
2008-04-11 09:29 < White_Cat> why?
2008-04-11 09:30 < Golbez> huh
2008-04-11 09:30 < Golbez> that is odd
2008-04-11 09:30 < White_Cat> Golbez look at the two versions by eye
2008-04-11 09:30 < Golbez> that might be worth mentioning on VPT or the tech channel
2008-04-11 09:30 < Golbez> i am
2008-04-11 09:30 * Cyrius pokes
2008-04-11 09:30 < Golbez> the :) is not in either of the diffs
2008-04-11 09:30 < Cyrius> let me dig first
2008-04-11 09:30 < Golbez> yet it appears in the article
2008-04-11 09:31 < White_Cat> Golbez also the section names do not match

2008-04-11 09:31 < White_Cat> "Reflection problems" comes out of nowhere
2008-04-11 09:31 < White_Cat> is there a deleted diff we cant see?
2008-04-11 09:31 < Cyrius> no, it doesn't
2008-04-11 09:32 < Cyrius> it's being hidden by the failure to close the ref
2008-04-11 09:32 < White_Cat> perhaps oversighted?
2008-04-11 09:32 < White_Cat> oh
2008-04-11 09:32 < Golbez> Cyrius- i was wondering about that
2008-04-11 09:32 < White_Cat> :(
2008-04-11 09:32 < Cyrius> stop speculating and look
2008-04-11 09:32 < Golbez> so the :) is in there, it's just being hidden by the bad ref

2008-04-11 09:32 < White_Cat> AHA!
2008-04-11 09:33 < Cyrius> yes
2008-04-11 09:33 < Golbez> i was wondering that but was too lazy to check.
2008-04-11 09:41 < ThePolecat> *thwomp
2008-04-11 09:43 < ThePolecat> okay, let me rephrase that

2008-04-11 09:43 < JessicaTaylor> Even more cats
2008-04-11 09:44 < ThePolecat> Raul made me.

2008-04-11 10:04 < White_Cat> .yu?
2008-04-11 10:05 < White_Cat> .yu still exists?
2008-04-11 10:05 < Lubaf> White_Cat: Not surprising.
2008-04-11 10:06 < White_Cat> ta.bushi.yu
2008-04-11 10:06 < Lubaf> These things have a way of continuing a zombie existence long after the country behind them is dead.
2008-04-11 10:06 < White_Cat> Lubaf yugoslavians are coming!
2008-04-11 10:06 * White_Cat ducks under a chair
2008-04-11 10:06 < Aqwis> yugoslavia lives!
2008-04-11 10:06 < White_Cat> Aqwis no thats Kane
2008-04-11 10:07 < Aqwis> i hear elvis lives in yugoslavia
2008-04-11 10:08 < White_Cat> Aqwis with kane
2008-04-11 10:08 < White_Cat> they party
2008-04-11 10:08 < Aqwis> oh
2008-04-11 10:08 < Golbez> .su still exists
2008-04-11 10:08 < Golbez> i want an .su domain
2008-04-11 10:12 < White_Cat> Aqwis so yea
2008-04-11 10:12 < White_Cat> Kane loves ion cannon zapping
2008-04-11 10:18 < quanticle> Ah, Minnesota - Its April 11, and we got 4 inches of snow last night
2008-04-11 10:28 < Golbez> mmm ion cannon
2008-04-11 10:29 < quanticle> Golbez: Tiberian Sun, or C&C 3?
2008-04-11 10:29 < Golbez> Tiberian Dawn.
2008-04-11 10:29 < Golbez> I played the original C&C and that was about it.
2008-04-11 10:29 < quanticle> Golbez: Ah. Ok.
2008-04-11 10:30 < quanticle> The thing I hate about the C&C in general is that one side always tends to be rather overpowered. In Tiberian Sun, NOD had multi-missiles, underground units, stealth generators, and, last but not least, NOD artillery.
2008-04-11 10:31 < quanticle> In Red Alert 2, Soviets had the Apocalypse tank - enough said.
2008-04-11 10:32 < Golbez> yeah, in the original, NOD was the favorite
2008-04-11 10:32 < Golbez> I was in love with the GDI Mammoth Tanks but I always seemed to lose.
2008-04-11 10:32 < Golbez> I used to play with a friend and lost every single time except once
2008-04-11 10:32 < quanticle> The GDI walkers in Tiberian Sun sucked hardcore.
2008-04-11 10:33 < Golbez> And that one time was a fluke caused by the fabled stealth APC.
2008-04-11 10:33 < quanticle> They got taken down by NOD artillery before firing a shot ususally.
2008-04-11 10:33 < Golbez> I managed to get one, and even though he damaged it, I managed to hide the smoke plume til I could get it back to base.
2008-04-11 10:33 < Golbez> Loaded it up with engineers
2008-04-11 10:33 < quanticle> Golbez: And engineer rushed, nice.
2008-04-11 10:33 < Golbez> and even then, it took great timing on my part - I hid it in a far corner of the map and waited til he attacked, at which time I went in to his base while he was distracted in destroying mine
2008-04-11 10:34 < Golbez> took out his construction yard, vehicle plant, and a few other things
2008-04-11 10:34 < Golbez> and he retired
2008-04-11 10:34 < quanticle> Golbez: He didn't have any automated defenses?
2008-04-11 10:34 < Golbez> my ONE victory
2008-04-11 10:34 < Golbez> I'm sure he did, but I rushed. =p
2008-04-11 10:34 < quanticle> Nice.
2008-04-11 10:34 < Golbez> Also, not sure if he had obelisks deep in his territory.
2008-04-11 10:34 < Golbez> and the bulk of his army was in my base.
2008-04-11 10:34 < quanticle> Heh. Underground APC + engineers = win
2008-04-11 10:34 < Golbez> I still love quoting that game.
2008-04-11 10:35 < Golbez> "I've got a present for ya!"
2008-04-11 10:35 < quanticle> Heh.
2008-04-11 10:35 < quanticle> Engineer rush - the present that keeps on giving
2008-04-11 10:39 < flamingspinach> is there a way to get interlanguage links in URLs? Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, but, uh...
2008-04-11 10:40 < flamingspinach> for example, is there a way to get to http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/形容動詞 using a URL starting with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ ?
2008-04-11 10:40 < flamingspinach> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:形容動詞 doesn't seem to work, though
2008-04-11 10:41 < flamingspinach> (though putting [[ja:形容動詞]] in the text of an article will put an interlanguage link on the sidebar, I'm not sure what the syntax is for getting an actual wikilink, let alone a URL)
2008-04-11 10:41 < rainman-sr> the link is with [[:ja:....]], and the url should work, it's a regression
2008-04-11 10:42 < rainman-sr> there is bug open for that i think
2008-04-11 10:42 < flamingspinach> reason I ask is, if there's an IRC bot that, given a string $x, retrieves the first paragraph of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$x . I wanted to try to make it retrieve text from a wiki of a different language
2008-04-11 10:42 < flamingspinach> which URL should work? the one I pasted, or one with another colon?
2008-04-11 10:42 < enok|walker> yay 2000
2008-04-11 10:42 < flamingspinach> oho, it does work :D thanks
2008-04-11 10:43 < rainman-sr> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:形容動詞 this should redirect you to ja.wiki
2008-04-11 10:43 < rainman-sr> and it does.. so seems to be fixed :)
2008-04-11 10:44 < flamingspinach> oh hey, it does o_O weird, it didn't work a second ago. Maybe I did something wrong before. Thanks anyway though :)
2008-04-11 11:26 < Working_Cat> meow
2008-04-11 11:28 < Working_Cat> meow?
2008-04-11 11:30 < Qst> ...
2008-04-11 11:30 < TheWeasel> Cheers.
2008-04-11 11:30 < Working_Cat> \o/
2008-04-11 11:31 < Working_Cat> yo whizzle
2008-04-11 11:32 * TheWeasel makes landfall
2008-04-11 11:32 < LawrenceWCohen> happy friday
2008-04-11 11:34 < Golbez1> "According to a June 2007 article in Discover magazine, the combined weight of all the electrons moved within the Internet in a day is 0.2 millionths of an ounce. Others have estimated this at nearer 2 ounces (50 grams)."
2008-04-11 11:34 < Sceptre> hi LawrenceWCohen
2008-04-11 11:34 < LawrenceWCohen> guys I need some advice, I'm torn on what article to do next. [[Social panic]] or [[Toadstone]]?
2008-04-11 11:35 < LawrenceWCohen> Bezhin is almost done
2008-04-11 11:35 < Working_Cat> [[Toadstone]]
2008-04-11 11:35 < MacTaylor> when people get unbanned are they able to create a new account?
2008-04-11 11:35 < Working_Cat> or maybe [[Hypnotoad]]
2008-04-11 11:36 < Golbez1> MacTaylor- yes, though if they're unbanned they don't really need to
2008-04-11 11:36 < TheWeasel> Angst on the beach = tropical depression?
2008-04-11 11:37 < MacTaylor> cuz i have a brother who likes to vandalize wikipedia.
2008-04-11 11:37 < nneonneo> uhoh
2008-04-11 11:37 * TheWeasel has heard of too many "brothers"
2008-04-11 11:37 < quanticle> Ok, question - Are there people following the Norse mythology as a religion, currently?
2008-04-11 11:38 < nneonneo> probably
2008-04-11 11:38 < TheWeasel> yea, though most pick and choose.
2008-04-11 11:38 < quanticle> TheWeasel: What do you mean?
2008-04-11 11:38 < nneonneo> I'm guessing they believe in whatever suits them?
2008-04-11 11:39 < TheWeasel> well, they concentrate on certain aspects of Norse mythology
2008-04-11 11:39 < TheWeasel> neo-nazis have been known to do that, but also harmless neo-pagan type groups
2008-04-11 11:39 < nneonneo> Well, I think many people do, to some extent
2008-04-11 11:40 < quanticle> Ah. Ok.
2008-04-11 11:40 < quanticle> Thanks...
2008-04-11 11:40 < Working_Cat> quanticle: they have it as a part of the heritage i guess
2008-04-11 11:40 < Working_Cat> and some choose to incorporate some values
2008-04-11 11:41 < Working_Cat> but not taking it all the way like Indians do i suppose.
2008-04-11 11:41 < TheWeasel> there are festivals here in Northern Europe that keep some aspects of it
2008-04-11 11:41 < quanticle> Yeah, that's what I thought. One of my friends claimed that there was a significant number of people still following the old Norse gods...
2008-04-11 11:41 < TheWeasel> metal freaks
2008-04-11 11:41 < Working_Cat> quanticle: ask him to shove it. :P
2008-04-11 11:41 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-04-11 11:41 < nneonneo> XD
2008-04-11 11:41 * Fabexplosive back
2008-04-11 11:41 < quanticle> I disputed that, saying that Scandinavia had been pretty well Christianized in the 16th Century
2008-04-11 11:42 < Working_Cat> all this talk of norse mythology is making me want to play AoM
2008-04-11 11:42 < TheWeasel> well, some sun-related festivals are directly related to the old religion
2008-04-11 11:42 < nneonneo> I wish I had that here
2008-04-11 11:42 < nneonneo> my copy of AoM is 2000+ kilometers away :'(
2008-04-11 11:42 < gwern> by the 16th century? no way. the old gods had started to fade out by the saga era, half a millennium earlier
2008-04-11 11:42 < Working_Cat> nneonneo: sucks
2008-04-11 11:42 < quanticle> Heh. I'm playing an Orc barbarian right now in Nethack
2008-04-11 11:43 * quanticle goes back to NetHack
2008-04-11 11:43 * Working_Cat looks up nethack
2008-04-11 11:43 < nneonneo> what?
2008-04-11 11:43 < nneonneo> you don't know what nethack is?
2008-04-11 11:43 < nneonneo> :o
2008-04-11 11:44 * TheWeasel dislikes "classic" fantasy role playing worlds intensely
2008-04-11 11:44 < gwern> nneonneo: the piratebay is never far away!
2008-04-11 11:44 < nneonneo> this is true
2008-04-11 11:44 < nneonneo> stupid bandwidth cap would leave me internet-less for about two days
2008-04-11 11:45 < gwern> faster than traveling 2000+ miles
2008-04-11 11:46 * Mike_H NP: The Tubes - She's a Beauty (1983)
2008-04-11 11:47 < nneonneo> tis true
2008-04-11 11:47 < nneonneo> though I'll be going back in two weeks
2008-04-11 11:47 < nneonneo> not a long wait :)
2008-04-11 11:47 * Working_Cat wonders if nneonneo wants his possessions identified
2008-04-11 11:47 < nneonneo> well, I'
2008-04-11 11:47 < nneonneo> m not dead yet
2008-04-11 11:49 < Working_Cat> gwern: kilometers.
2008-04-11 11:49 < Working_Cat> which im guessing is 2000- miles
2008-04-11 11:50 < nneonneo> bah, miles
2008-04-11 11:51 < Working_Cat> http://xkcd.com/ <3 the c&h reference
2008-04-11 11:51 < Working_Cat> i could see it coming from panels away XD
2008-04-11 11:51 < nneonneo> lol
2008-04-11 11:51 < nneonneo> indeed
2008-04-11 11:51 < nneonneo> so, the distance is 2165 KM
2008-04-11 11:51 < nneonneo> or 1345 for you Imperialist people
2008-04-11 11:52 < Working_Cat> 2345
2008-04-11 11:52 < nneonneo> 3456?
2008-04-11 11:52 * Working_Cat does the 5-6-7-8 dance
2008-04-11 11:55 < Working_Cat> which i guess looked incredibly akward and shocking, considering the silence that fell across the hall.
2008-04-11 11:56 < RichiH> where is the article on how to use web references?
2008-04-11 11:56 < RichiH> Martinp23: perfect timing
2008-04-11 11:56 < RichiH> answer above, please
2008-04-11 11:58 < Martinp23> RichiH: the polciy page for references (and how to use them) should be at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:REF
2008-04-11 11:59 < RichiH> ta
2008-04-11 11:59 < Martinp23> np
2008-04-11 12:01 < RichiH> Martinp23: i can only find citations, not references
2008-04-11 12:02 < RichiH> ah, just <ref></ref>
2008-04-11 12:02 < Martinp23> yeah, then <references /> or {{reflist}} in the references section at the end :)
2008-04-11 12:03 < wimt> Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates - you can use {{cite web}} to make it easier

2008-04-11 12:21 < ShakespeareFan00> Hello
2008-04-11 12:21 < ShakespeareFan00> Anyone here good at working in Java or flash?
2008-04-11 12:23 < Working_Cat> ShakespeareFan00: i work with java as a hobby
2008-04-11 12:24 < ShakespeareFan00> Working_Cat: OK
2008-04-11 12:24 < ShakespeareFan00> IS there any possibility you could write a simple tracer?
2008-04-11 12:24 < Leslie_S> bleh
2008-04-11 12:24 < Working_Cat> i let others decide on the "good" part though.
2008-04-11 12:24 < Leslie_S> isnt there an easier way to get a CDL?
2008-04-11 12:24 < Working_Cat> whats a tracer? :P
2008-04-11 12:24 < Working_Cat> commercial drivers license? no
2008-04-11 12:25 < ShakespeareFan00> As in Dipslay a bitmap image at a some zoom and a slipy map (ala OSM)
2008-04-11 12:25 < Working_Cat> even the regular drivers license causes me pain in the u know where
2008-04-11 12:25 < ShakespeareFan00> and allow a use to trace from the bitmap... into SVG
2008-04-11 12:25 < Working_Cat> O.O
2008-04-11 12:25 < Working_Cat> O.o
2008-04-11 12:25 < ShakespeareFan00> Manually
2008-04-11 12:25 < Working_Cat> o.O
2008-04-11 12:25 < Working_Cat> ShakespeareFan00: no.
2008-04-11 12:25 < ShakespeareFan00> I.E Display a Bitmap and a set of drawing tool :)
2008-04-11 12:26 < Working_Cat> ShakespeareFan00: stop before my head explodes.
2008-04-11 12:26 < Working_Cat> i cant take all this pressure.
2008-04-11 12:26 < ShakespeareFan00> Anyone else?
2008-04-11 12:28 < Iejoor> Does anyone else finds [[107th meridian west]] (on en:) a bit silly?
2008-04-11 12:28 < Iejoor> *find
2008-04-11 12:30 < RichiH> Iejoor: no
2008-04-11 12:30 < RichiH> Iejoor: it is something other articles can link to
2008-04-11 12:30 < RichiH> also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lines_of_longitude ..
2008-04-11 12:30 < Iejoor> Yes, I saw that catgeroy
2008-04-11 12:31 < Iejoor> And I found it rather silly
2008-04-11 12:31 < RichiH> so it's not exactly the only one of its kind
2008-04-11 12:31 < Iejoor> The only other article linking to it is 111 (number)
2008-04-11 12:31 < Iejoor> No, it's a whole group of articles
2008-04-11 12:31 < Iejoor> And many of them don't have much potential content.
2008-04-11 12:31 < Iejoor> "89th parallel north"
2008-04-11 12:31 < Iejoor> that one doesn't exist yet, fortunately
2008-04-11 12:31 < Aqwis> please prod it
2008-04-11 12:32 < Aqwis> i will remove the prod
2008-04-11 12:32 < Iejoor> I could produce it and write down how long it is
2008-04-11 12:32 < ShakespeareFan00> Rather than articles , There should be a Geo-Search
2008-04-11 12:32 < Iejoor> "24 degrees 37 minutes east"
2008-04-11 12:32 < Iejoor> ShakespeareFan00: There is, sort of.
2008-04-11 12:32 < ShakespeareFan00> I meant based on the Coord Geo-hack
2008-04-11 12:32 < ShakespeareFan00> :)
2008-04-11 12:32 < Iejoor> There is.
2008-04-11 12:32 < RichiH> ShakespeareFan00: as soon as there is real support for metadata, i agree that it should be merged into articles as metadata, ye
2008-04-11 12:32 < ShakespeareFan00> There is? :O
2008-04-11 12:32 < RichiH> s
2008-04-11 12:33 < ShakespeareFan00> :)
2008-04-11 12:33 < RichiH> hmm, need to run
2008-04-11 12:33 < ShakespeareFan00> I am waiting for Wikipedia to get Semantic Web
2008-04-11 12:33 < Iejoor> http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=63.191667,14.541667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=http:%2F%2Ftools.wikimedia.de%2F~kolossos%2Fgeoworld%2FWP-world-maps.php%3Flang%3Den
2008-04-11 12:33 < ShakespeareFan00> Then the fun really Starts :)
2008-04-11 12:33 < Cyrius> semantic web, meh
2008-04-11 12:33 < ShakespeareFan00> Wikiventory tried to so something (and sort of got overtaken) by events
2008-04-11 12:34 < Iejoor> well
2008-04-11 12:34 < Iejoor> If I would be a deletionist I would go to AfD regarding some of those parallel and meridian articles, but I'm not a deletionist and I think such articles are mostly harmless
2008-04-11 12:35 < Iejoor> just quite useless
2008-04-11 12:38 < quanticle> ShakespeareFan00: Isn't Wikipedia sort of a semantic web already, with its structured articles?
2008-04-11 12:38 < ShakespeareFan00> Not really
2008-04-11 12:39 < ShakespeareFan00> Semantic Wiki is something a lot more complex...
2008-04-11 12:39 < ShakespeareFan00> There's a link from the Wikiventory proposal on Meta
2008-04-11 12:39 < quanticle> ShakespeareFan00: Well, I guess you'd have to add some sort of tagging facility to Wikipedia to make it truly semantic...
2008-04-11 12:39 < ShakespeareFan00> Yeah
2008-04-11 12:39 < ShakespeareFan00> and relations
2008-04-11 12:40 < Iejoor> complex is not a helpful property for a wiki
2008-04-11 12:40 < ShakespeareFan00> Kings Cross "is a station" in London
2008-04-11 12:40 < ShakespeareFan00> Kings Cross "is a staion" "on the route of " the ECML
2008-04-11 12:40 < ShakespeareFan00> etc
2008-04-11 12:41 < ShakespeareFan00> Kings Cross is <x> "Miles from" <dataum>
2008-04-11 12:41 < ShakespeareFan00> etc

2008-04-11 12:55 < Working_Cat> quanticle should get his axe identified

2008-04-11 13:00 < quanticle> Working_Cat: The scribes were lost, caught in the mire...
2008-04-11 13:02 < Working_Cat> quanticle: Hire for Higher, under-worldly desire...
2008-04-11 13:03 < quanticle> Working_Cat: under-worldly desire, surfacing in the Shire...
2008-04-11 13:04 < HumbertHumbert> Is firewall and blast door the same thing in the physical sense?
2008-04-11 13:04 < Working_Cat> quanticle: makes no sense, this rhyming satire.
2008-04-11 13:04 < Working_Cat> HumbertHumbert: in the physical sense... no
2008-04-11 13:04 < Barak4u> could someone please help me with references in an article?
2008-04-11 13:05 < Working_Cat> HumbertHumbert: in the metaphorical sense, yes.
2008-04-11 13:05 < Barak4u> this is the article...
2008-04-11 13:05 < Barak4u> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerida
2008-04-11 13:05 < Working_Cat> i wonder how many got my "Hire for Higher" reference
2008-04-11 13:06 < Barak4u> a new user called Pini00001 has added a lot of info to it and the last days
2008-04-11 13:06 < MooingLemur> duck tales?
2008-04-11 13:06 < Barak4u> the info seems to be legit..
2008-04-11 13:06 < HumbertHumbert> Working_Cat: ...
2008-04-11 13:06 < quanticle> Working_Cat: Baloo is smart, but he is also a liar
2008-04-11 13:06 < HumbertHumbert> A physical firewall (NOT computer related) IS a blast door, no?
2008-04-11 13:06 < quanticle> HumbertHumbert: Nope.
2008-04-11 13:07 < Barak4u> but the references won't show up in the references part of the article
2008-04-11 13:07 < MooingLemur> it's among other things a car part
2008-04-11 13:07 < quanticle> HumbertHumbert: A physical firewall is quite literally that, a wall made of fire resistant material designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke
2008-04-11 13:07 < Barak4u> anyone?
2008-04-11 13:08 < quanticle> A blast door can be a component of a firewall, but they're not necessarily equal
2008-04-11 13:08 < MooingLemur> Sealing Cat is watching you stuff envelopes.
2008-04-11 13:09 < MooingLemur> somehow I imagine a quanticle being a 4-D popsicle.
2008-04-11 13:09 < MooingLemur> rather than a quantum particle or whatever.
2008-04-11 13:10 < HumbertHumbert> The - character on normal keyboards (NOT ON THE NUMPAD)... is it intended to be an en dash or minus character?
2008-04-11 13:11 < Golbez1> good question
2008-04-11 13:11 < quanticle> HumbertHumbert: Either and or both
2008-04-11 13:12 < HumbertHumbert> Cannot possibly be both.
2008-04-11 13:12 < quanticle> HumbertHumbert: And why's that?
2008-04-11 13:14 < HumbertHumbert> quanticle: Because... it's a physical key.
2008-04-11 13:14 < HumbertHumbert> - and _.
2008-04-11 13:14 < quanticle> Right, but the key outputs the '-' character which can be a minus sign or an en dash based on context
2008-04-11 13:15 < HumbertHumbert> No.
2008-04-11 13:15 < HumbertHumbert> They are different characters.
2008-04-11 13:15 < HumbertHumbert> There are minus char, en dash and em dash. And several more probably.
2008-04-11 13:15 < HumbertHumbert> Minus and en dash look very much the same.
2008-04-11 13:16 < Aqwis> hurrr
2008-04-11 13:16 < Aqwis> minus looks like a hyphen here, not an en dash
2008-04-11 13:17 < quanticle> HumbertHumbert: Perhaps it depends on the font...
2008-04-11 13:17 < HumbertHumbert> quanticle: What?
2008-04-11 13:17 < Mike_H> Okay, is HumbertHumbert the same troll as Catnip96/Bluuu?
2008-04-11 13:18 < Mike_H> Because I'm getting fed up.
2008-04-11 13:18 < quanticle> Whether the symbol produced by the '-' key produces a minus or an en dash
2008-04-11 13:18 < quanticle> Mike_H: Whoever he was, he's gone now.
2008-04-11 13:42 * Mike_H NP: Stars on 45 - Stars on 45 Medley (1981)

2008-04-11 14:48 < FastLizard4> rocketmaster000: You can say hello without shouting
2008-04-11 14:48 < The359> The name was officially changed to its Marathi pronunciation of Mumbai in 1995.
2008-04-11 14:49 < HumbertHumbert> Why?
2008-04-11 14:49 < Working_Cat> rocketmaster000: only time you are allowed to shout in this channel is when invoking extra felines: "MOAR KATZ!!"
2008-04-11 14:49 < rocketmaster000> Oh. 8-)
2008-04-11 14:49 < Working_Cat> HumbertHumbert: cuz thats what it was called before the brits changed it
2008-04-11 14:50 < rocketmaster000> MORE CATS!!!
2008-04-11 14:50 < Working_Cat> HumbertHumbert: 'Mumbai' was named after a Goddess.
2008-04-11 14:50 < The359> Bombay was an English-ized naming
2008-04-11 14:50 < Working_Cat> rocketmaster000: EPIC PHAIL

2008-04-11 14:51 < Working_Cat> effing = efficiently f'ing?
2008-04-11 14:51 < Enterprise_Cat> rocketmaster000: It can also only be invoked if you have a nick that ends in cat
2008-04-11 14:51 < The359> no, just f-ing
2008-04-11 14:52 < Working_Cat> Enterprise_Cat: we make exceptions to that rule....

2008-04-11 14:53 < Working_Cat> and since Raul_Cat says you are a newb unless you have been here since/before '03, its rarely used
2008-04-11 14:53 < Working_Cat> rocketmaster000: internet, comedy and lolcats are all serious business
2008-04-11 14:54 < Working_Cat> rocketmaster000: thanks for the tip off :D
2008-04-11 14:54 < White_Cat> comedy is the opposite of serious
2008-04-11 14:54 < Enterprise_Cat> White_Cat: shush
