2008-04-13 18:20 < Ceiling_Cat> my advisor leaves on a trip today
2008-04-13 18:20 < Ceiling_Cat> and won't be back until the end of the week
2008-04-13 18:20 < Ceiling_Cat> I met with him friday, and he asked for *lots* of changes to the thesis, and I had ~40 hours to do it
2008-04-13 18:20 < Antibuddha> i have the concept for the most perfect game
2008-04-13 18:20 < kibble> O_o
2008-04-13 18:21 < Ceiling_Cat> so I spent all yesterday, from the moment I got up in the morning until I went to bed at 5 AM, working to get them done
2008-04-13 18:21 < kibble> :-(
2008-04-13 18:21 < kibble> poor cat
2008-04-13 18:21 < Ceiling_Cat> it's all good now
2008-04-13 18:21 < Ceiling_Cat> hopefully he'll read it, realize it's pure gold, sign it, and I'll be in the clear
2008-04-13 18:21 < Antibuddha> it is called medieval train, the point of the game is to kill your enemies by attracting monsters and creating a train and running the train into your enemies
2008-04-13 18:21 < Ceiling_Cat> (after a quick trip to kinkos to get a few more copies run off)
2008-04-13 18:21 < Antibuddha> it is a singleplayer game
2008-04-13 18:22 < Antibuddha> may god forgive me for working my sunday that i should've taken off for worship but my great invention shall surely please Him
2008-04-13 18:24 < Antibuddha> nothing is nore pleasing than running pass an unsuspecting enemy and hearing his screams and throes of death as he is pummeled by an indiscriminating train

2008-04-13 19:04 < Mww113> hi all
2008-04-13 19:05 < fale_> sorry guys, I thought is was #wikipedia-it ;)
2008-04-13 19:05 < snowolf> lol
2008-04-13 19:05 < snowolf> this channel is supposed to be international, so no big deal :)
2008-04-13 19:05 < ThePolecat> fale_: it does not matter in which language you talk here :-)
2008-04-13 19:05 < fale_> snowolf: I'm creating some regex, than after I'll show you, maybe you have more ideas ;)
2008-04-13 19:06 * snowolf doesn't speak regex
2008-04-13 19:06 < fale_> snowolf: ah ok :D
2008-04-13 19:06 < fale_> cu soon, guys
2008-04-13 19:06 < The359> hmmm
2008-04-13 19:07 < The359> Gerard de Courcelles, should I list the name as "De Courcelles, Gerard", or something else?
2008-04-13 19:07 < ThePolecat> List where?
2008-04-13 19:07 * Mike_H watches The Nanny
2008-04-13 19:07 < The359> for defaultsort
2008-04-13 19:07 < The359> should it fall under D or C?
2008-04-13 19:07 < ThePolecat> there are some oddball sorting systems where the nobility addendum is ignored, but I think it should fall into D
2008-04-13 19:08 < The359> ok
2008-04-13 19:08 < ThePolecat> mostly when people are elevated to nobility late in life
2008-04-13 19:08 < ThePolecat> as in "Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von"
2008-04-13 19:09 < ThePolecat> (so are known by their "bourgeois" name mostly)
2008-04-13 19:11 < Lucifer_Cat> Weasel: Im rocking as usual
2008-04-13 19:11 < ThePolecat> Good thing.
2008-04-13 19:12 < ThePolecat> Wow, I just thought "Goethe was probably the last Renaissance man", and the Wikipedia article says so.
2008-04-13 19:13 < Aqwis> umm
2008-04-13 19:13 < Aqwis> shouldn't the TFA have updated 13 minutes ago?
2008-04-13 19:15 < ThePolecat> We're too infatuated with the Gioconda.
2008-04-13 19:15 * Ceiling_Cat huggles ThePolecat
2008-04-13 19:16 < ThePolecat> :-)
2008-04-13 19:16 < hoov> for some reason all of my teachers HATE wikipedia
2008-04-13 19:16 < Messedrocker> my teachers like it but are weary of it
2008-04-13 19:16 < ThePolecat> Most people, and that includes pupils, don't understand what Wikipedia is.
2008-04-13 19:16 < hoov> they allways get onto us when we're viewing articles in the library
2008-04-13 19:16 < Messedrocker> what they fail to see is that unlike most reliable resources, you have a fighting chance of fixing it when it's wrong
2008-04-13 19:16 < Messedrocker> most unreliable resources*
2008-04-13 19:16 < hoov> yeah
2008-04-13 19:17 < Messedrocker> reliable too
2008-04-13 19:17 < hoov> and it's not like people cite wikipedia
2008-04-13 19:17 < hoov> we go for the sources at the bottom
2008-04-13 19:17 < Messedrocker> wikipedia's also great to get a background in the topic
2008-04-13 19:23 < Enterprise_Cat> Gambit: ChanServ turned off the lights

2008-04-13 19:36 < Enterprise_Cat> 'cause tongues are cool :P
2008-04-13 19:36 < The359> :Pd:
2008-04-13 19:37 * ThePolecat boycotts the tongue bandwagon
2008-04-13 19:37 < The359> tongues make for hot make outs
2008-04-13 19:38 * ThePolecat points out that there is a slight difference between a sequence of letters typed into a computer keyboard and real life
2008-04-13 19:38 < quanticle> The359: More tongue-bell?
2008-04-13 19:39 < quanticle> ThePolecat: LIES!
2008-04-13 19:39 < Fou-Lu> what was that about tongues? (sorry, I /clear'd)

2008-04-13 19:39 * ThePolecat steps backwards slowly, making soothing gestures
2008-04-13 19:39 < ThePolecat> Who the hell is Trevor Immelman?
2008-04-13 19:39 < Fou-Lu> fogster: you forgot to add :p to the end :p
2008-04-13 19:40 < The359> The Masters, fogster

2008-04-13 19:40 < The359> he won
2008-04-13 19:40 < fogster> Oh... Maybe I should get off Wikipedia and watch TV ;)
2008-04-13 19:40 < fogster> The last 50 edits were in about 15 minutes time
2008-04-13 19:41 < quanticle> fogster: That's to be expected, since he was just finished and was awarded the Green Jacket.
2008-04-13 19:41 < quanticle> Its surprising how the top-5 fell away in the final round.
2008-04-13 19:41 < quanticle> All except for Immelman, Woods and Snedecker.

2008-04-13 19:46 * Lucifer_Cat makes the horrible handshaking tone.
2008-04-13 19:46 * ThePolecat alludes to "fifth amendment commies", which is what Joe McCarthy called those who refused to testify if they would have had to put themselves in a bad light

2008-04-13 19:54 * quanticle 's mileage record is 37.85 MPG
2008-04-13 19:55 * quanticle drives a Hyundai Elantra
2008-04-13 19:55 * Enterprise_Cat 's milage record is 27.9 gallons to the mile :P
2008-04-13 19:55 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: im strictly talking about non-honda non-toyotas
2008-04-13 19:55 < Lucifer_Cat> oooo hyundai
2008-04-13 19:55 < quanticle> Yeah. The "official" mileage is listed as 32 mpg, but I routinely do better.
2008-04-13 19:55 < Lucifer_Cat> lol i expected a "my car gave a better performance" msg
2008-04-13 19:56 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Yeah, but only on Wikipedia would you get actual statistics about how my car beat yours...
2008-04-13 19:56 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: didnt get the stats part
2008-04-13 19:57 < Lucifer_Cat> anyways, i was surprised cuz i expected it to go 275-ish
2008-04-13 19:57 < Lucifer_Cat> 290 max
2008-04-13 19:57 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Yeah. That's about expected. I'd be impressed too with 35 mpg.
2008-04-13 19:57 < OverlordQ> i get like 22-25 :-/
2008-04-13 19:57 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Do you drive the speed limit?
2008-04-13 19:57 < OverlordQ> but then again my car is almost 20 years old
2008-04-13 19:58 < quanticle> OverlordQ: What kind of car?
2008-04-13 19:58 < Lucifer_Cat> it went all the way from clemson, sc to huntsville, al without refuelling
2008-04-13 19:58 < OverlordQ> 90 honda accord 4d
2008-04-13 19:58 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: yeah, i set it to cruise at 1 mile below the speed limit for most part

2008-04-13 19:58 < Enterprise_Cat> How the hell did my website get that much traffic in 24 hours?!

2008-04-13 20:00 < Enterprise_Cat> Holy fuck
2008-04-13 20:00 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: except for the exits and high traffic areas of atlanta, it was on cruise.
2008-04-13 20:00 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Well there you go. If you drive the speed limit (and don't accelerate quickly) you'll routinely exceed your car's listed fuel economy.
2008-04-13 20:00 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: lol yeah thats what i figured
2008-04-13 20:01 < Lucifer_Cat> also, setting it to cruise at the speed also reduces your ticketing potential by 90% :P
2008-04-13 20:02 < Enterprise_Cat> Googlebot tried to spider my website!
2008-04-13 20:02 < OverlordQ> heh :)
2008-04-13 20:02 * Enterprise_Cat thanks robots.txt
2008-04-13 20:02 < The359> flush it down the toilet
2008-04-13 20:02 < Enterprise_Cat> I have it set to disallow ALL bots
2008-04-13 20:03 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: True. I usually find cruise control kind of annoying though, given that even when I'm on the freeway, I'm still in an urban area, so its difficult to *cruise* in any sense of the word.
2008-04-13 20:03 < Lucifer_Cat> so that led to 50MBs of download?
2008-04-13 20:03 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: No
2008-04-13 20:04 < Enterprise_Cat> I'm not sure where that 50.93 MB came from
2008-04-13 20:04 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: yeah, i know. i dont ever get a chance to "cruise" going to work...
2008-04-13 20:04 < bumm13> just stop and go? :)
2008-04-13 20:05 < Lucifer_Cat> also, these two days, just being near the atlanta area, i had to forget about cruising
2008-04-13 20:05 < Enterprise_Cat> :O

2008-04-13 20:05 < quanticle> bumm13: Not necessarily "stop and go" in my case, but certainly not enough consistency in speed to make cruise control viable.
2008-04-13 20:06 < bumm13> ah
2008-04-13 20:07 < AngryParsley> get a motorcycle
2008-04-13 20:07 < AngryParsley> they can go in between cars
2008-04-13 20:07 < quanticle> AngryParsley: In Minnesota? Have *you* tried to go riding when its 40 below?
2008-04-13 20:07 < AngryParsley> quanticle: pfft, I live in california
2008-04-13 20:08 < AngryParsley> land of milk and honey and temperate weather
2008-04-13 20:08 < AngryParsley> although it got up to 85 today
2008-04-13 20:08 * quanticle glares enviously at AngryParsley
2008-04-13 20:08 < AngryParsley> so that was kind of sweaty
2008-04-13 20:08 < AngryParsley> but once I got up to 80mph or so it cooled off
2008-04-13 20:08 < bumm13> and shitty public schools, high taxes, inept state gov't., high cost of living, etc.
2008-04-13 20:08 < AngryParsley> high taxes definitely
2008-04-13 20:08 < bumm13> and usually terrible traffic
2008-04-13 20:08 < AngryParsley> that too
2008-04-13 20:09 < bumm13> tradeoffs ;)
2008-04-13 20:09 < AngryParsley> unless you have a motorcycle, because motorcycles can go in car-pool lanes and lane split legally
2008-04-13 20:09 < bumm13> it works good for a younger person with a good income
2008-04-13 20:09 < AngryParsley> I've even gone on the shoulder without the cops pulling me over
2008-04-13 20:10 * bumm13 has little food in his abode :<
2008-04-13 20:10 < fruitbag> Hey all
2008-04-13 20:10 < fruitbag> Guys, I really don't understand all this fuss about violent video games
2008-04-13 20:11 < fruitbag> Children don't become by playing such games
2008-04-13 20:11 < bumm13> didn't this issue get resolved in 1996?
2008-04-13 20:11 < fruitbag> They have violent tendencies prior to playing these games
2008-04-13 20:11 < fruitbag> I don't understand what all the fuss is about
2008-04-13 20:11 < fruitbag> Why don't peopple get it?
2008-04-13 20:11 < AngryParsley> we should ban magnifying glasses because kids might use them to burn ants
2008-04-13 20:11 < Messedrocker> because they're rEtArDs
2008-04-13 20:11 < toresbe> I blame "Parents against video game violence".
2008-04-13 20:11 < bumm13> heh
2008-04-13 20:11 < fruitbag> Well, guys, it smells like bullshit
2008-04-13 20:11 < fruitbag> There clearly is something wrong here
2008-04-13 20:11 < fruitbag> This truly is... bullshit
2008-04-13 20:12 * bumm13 hijacks airplanes with toothpicks and iodine
2008-04-13 20:12 < fruitbag> You don't get violent by playing video games
2008-04-13 20:12 < AngryParsley> I'm amazed I didn't screw up my eyes. I burned so much crap with my 1 square foot fresnel lens when I was little
2008-04-13 20:12 < fruitbag> How ridiculous is that
2008-04-13 20:12 < AngryParsley> bumm13: no, you have to use hydrogen peroxide and tang!
2008-04-13 20:12 < bumm13> and uses dry ice to conceal himself!
2008-04-13 20:12 < bumm13> heh
2008-04-13 20:12 < fruitbag> I remember playing Doom when I was 7
2008-04-13 20:12 < fruitbag> Did I turn into a serial killer or mass murderer?
2008-04-13 20:13 < fruitbag> No
2008-04-13 20:13 < bumm13> *fizz!!!!*
2008-04-13 20:13 < fruitbag> I played Doom all the time
2008-04-13 20:13 < AngryParsley> fruitbag: ah, but does everyone who sees a car commercial go out and buy a car?
2008-04-13 20:13 < fruitbag> I also played Wolfenstein 3D
2008-04-13 20:13 < fruitbag> But I turned out to be normal
2008-04-13 20:13 < fruitbag> It's all bullshit, man
2008-04-13 20:13 * bumm13 has never owned a car newer than a 1986 model year
2008-04-13 20:13 < fruitbag> Penn and Teller should cover this
2008-04-13 20:13 < fruitbag> Because it truly is... bullshit
2008-04-13 20:14 < AngryParsley> bumm13: ah yes, back when cars were made completely out of trapezoids
2008-04-13 20:14 < bumm13> heh, indeed
2008-04-13 20:14 < bumm13> I currently own an old 1978 Chevy Scottsdale pickup
2008-04-13 20:14 < AngryParsley> I think we exhausted the world supply of trapezoids in 1990, and we had to make do with bubbles
2008-04-13 20:14 < bumm13> yeah
2008-04-13 20:14 < bumm13> I don't drive much, so it works
2008-04-13 20:14 < AngryParsley> heh
2008-04-13 20:15 < AngryParsley> hmm... it is still 85 degrees out :/

2008-04-13 20:27 < ThePolecat> Eurotrip is very American.
2008-04-13 20:27 < Mike_H> It helps that the actors are cuter than they could ever be in America.
2008-04-13 20:27 < ThePolecat> haha
2008-04-13 20:27 < Mask> im a fair use nazi, so if i approve, you're safe
2008-04-13 20:27 < Mike_H> and they actually make German sound sexy.

2008-04-13 20:34 < fruitbag> Mike2 sure is
2008-04-13 20:34 < fruitbag> Ah... kk
2008-04-13 20:34 < ThePolecat> I'm just the receiver of everything German.
2008-04-13 20:34 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: That's a lie!
2008-04-13 20:34 < fruitbag> That explains it, Mike_H ;p
2008-04-13 20:34 < Mike_H> arcimboldo got it before you.
2008-04-13 20:34 * ThePolecat is reasonably straight and just like to hear outside voices
2008-04-13 20:34 < Mask> fruitbag, for an explanation of how easy it is to please me, my friend destiny talked me into trying x for the first time last month, and the bass line from seven nation army made me cum in my boxers. No joke, i had to go get new shorts.
2008-04-13 20:34 < ThePolecat> Oh, yes.
2008-04-13 20:34 * Lucifer_Cat offers ThePolecat some hot german ass
2008-04-13 20:34 < ThePolecat> He's Swiss, he takes it like an iceberg.
2008-04-13 20:34 < Mask> so sarah chalke is so gorgeous
2008-04-13 20:34 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: You're the token German, honey, deal
2008-04-13 20:34 < fruitbag> What is the obession with everything German?
2008-04-13 20:34 < Mask> its unreal
2008-04-13 20:34 < ThePolecat> Jawohl!
2008-04-13 20:34 < fruitbag> Mask: dude -- she sucks
2008-04-13 20:35 < fruitbag> I don't understand why you're so infatuated with her
2008-04-13 20:35 < Lucifer_Cat> Mask: shes occassionally cute...
2008-04-13 20:35 < fruitbag> I've seen girls 10 times nicer
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mask> fruitbag, you take that back this instant
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mask> or there will be blood
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mask> :)
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: I wish they'd do this gay story on our soaps
2008-04-13 20:35 < fruitbag> Mask: over the IRC network?
2008-04-13 20:35 < fruitbag> heh
2008-04-13 20:35 < Lucifer_Cat> Mask: for a non-irritating hotter cuter sarah chalke, check out Kari Byron
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mike_H> but the one soap we have that's doing a gay story, guess who's playing homewrecker?
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mike_H> An Iraqi woman
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mike_H> wearing a hijab
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mask> damn straight. I shall defend her honor
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mask> Lucifer_Cat, pssh, mythbusters girl is so not hot
2008-04-13 20:35 < Mike_H> I mean, they're all for PC in that storyline. Who breaks up the gays? A REFUGEE FROM IRAQ
2008-04-13 20:36 < ThePolecat> You vote for the people that prevent it.
2008-04-13 20:36 < fruitbag> Hey, Mike_H... do you know what I want to do for a show? One set in the current Iraq war about a relationship between two gay soldiers.
2008-04-13 20:36 < Lucifer_Cat> Mask: i prefer no country for old men instead
2008-04-13 20:36 < Mask> shes too, like, hot to be hot. I like cute, adorable, but secretly dirty
2008-04-13 20:36 < Mike_H> fruitbag: Haven't they made movies about that?
2008-04-13 20:36 < Mike_H> like, not porn?
2008-04-13 20:36 < fruitbag> Nope
2008-04-13 20:36 < Mask> like when elliot whipped out her sexy german voice, it was perfect
2008-04-13 20:36 < Lucifer_Cat> "like, not porn" lol
2008-04-13 20:37 < fruitbag> The Germans and Japanese are the most strangest people on the face of the Earth
2008-04-13 20:37 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: Oh, arcimboldo is Swiss?
2008-04-13 20:37 < ThePolecat> Yea.
2008-04-13 20:37 < Mike_H> No wonder he kind of took offense when I went "Oh, you're German, aren't you?" and then told him about Verbotene Liebe
2008-04-13 20:37 < Messedrocker> BiG bLaCk MaN
2008-04-13 20:38 < ThePolecat> I have no knowledge of Swiss soap operas.
2008-04-13 20:38 < Leslie_S> so, i discovered that i like yogurt today
2008-04-13 20:38 < Leslie_S> :D
2008-04-13 20:38 < fruitbag> Ah, man
2008-04-13 20:38 < fruitbag> I just lost 10GB worth of kinky porn
2008-04-13 20:39 < fruitbag> It sucks
2008-04-13 20:39 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Regular yougurt, or the fruity kind?
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: Do they even have soap operas?
2008-04-13 20:39 * fruitbag calls up a data recovery clinic
2008-04-13 20:39 < Leslie_S> quanticle the vanilla kind
2008-04-13 20:39 < Rinn> I read that as "kiddy porn" at first.
2008-04-13 20:39 < ThePolecat> Perhaps they're cheese operas, I dunno.
2008-04-13 20:39 < kmccoy> Dude...
2008-04-13 20:39 < quanticle> Leslie_S: mmmm, vanilla yougurt
2008-04-13 20:39 < kmccoy> I have a Segway in my room.
2008-04-13 20:39 < quanticle> Rinn: Projecting much?
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: I'd imagine the diaspora would just get German shows
2008-04-13 20:39 < fruitbag> Hey -- does anyone here recall Sunset Beach?
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mike_H> like Switzerland
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mask> <Leslie_S> so, i discovered that i like yogurt today
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mask> <Leslie_S> :D
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mask> <fruitbag> Ah, man
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mask> <fruitbag> I just lost 10GB worth of kinky porn
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mask> <fruitbag> It sucks
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mike_H> Italy
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mask> <quanticle> Leslie_S: Regular yougurt, or the fruity kind?
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mike_H> Austria
2008-04-13 20:39 < quanticle> kmccoy: Cool. Where are you at?
2008-04-13 20:39 < Mask> that was priceless
2008-04-13 20:39 < fruitbag> A soap opera back in '97
2008-04-13 20:39 < Leslie_S> there was a sample lady sampling yogurt today, so i tried some. I remember from when i was a kid that it was grossss, but i figured it was worthwhile to try it again.
2008-04-13 20:40 < Mask> the yogurt reminded him of kinky porn
2008-04-13 20:40 < Leslie_S> Mask you didnt have to paste the whole thing. it was like THREE LINES ABOVE THAT.
2008-04-13 20:40 < ThePolecat> Probably. I don't think there's any place in Switzerland where you can't get flawless German TV
2008-04-13 20:40 < Mask> Leslie_S, hush
2008-04-13 20:40 < Mask> :D
2008-04-13 20:40 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: And in the US you can even get "diaspora" channels
2008-04-13 20:40 < fruitbag> ThePolecat: culturally speaking, are the Swiss more German or more French?
2008-04-13 20:40 < kmccoy> quanticle, a hotel in Fayetteville, NC. Our bus driver bought a Segway yesterday, and I happened to have an easily accessible, ground-level room right next to where the bus is parked.
2008-04-13 20:40 < Mike_H> Irish, German, Italian, Polish, Greek
2008-04-13 20:40 < Mike_H> etc.
2008-04-13 20:40 < ThePolecat> Makes sense.
2008-04-13 20:40 < ThePolecat> the Swiss are majority German
2008-04-13 20:40 < quanticle> ThePolecat: I'd be surprised if there was anywhere in Switzerland where you could get OTA TV at all. The mountains in that area are hellish for radio broadcast.
2008-04-13 20:41 < quanticle> Er, I'm surprised, rather.
2008-04-13 20:41 < ThePolecat> The northern part is really flat.
2008-04-13 20:41 < ThePolecat> the only part that could be awkward is Ticino
2008-04-13 20:42 < fruitbag> Hey
2008-04-13 20:42 < fruitbag> Did anyone here ever watch does saturday morning cartoons?
2008-04-13 20:42 < Lucifer_Cat> oh i thought the akward part is when you decide to talk to her about sex for the first time
2008-04-13 20:42 < Lucifer_Cat> fruitbag: u've been down that road before
2008-04-13 20:43 < ThePolecat> The professional term for that is "the Ticino stage"
