2008-04-19 16:03 < ThePolecat> haha
2008-04-19 16:04 < shunpiker> Thanks, Cream. There's a new account that appeared with a very similar name to a single-purpose account that's been around for a while. The SPA has only been used to make reverts to one particular article. The new account jumped right in and did the same.
2008-04-19 16:04 < shunpiker> Is this a job for checkuser? Or something else?
2008-04-19 16:04 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: This is one of my favorite articles
2008-04-19 16:04 < Mike_H> http://www.theonion.com/content/node/27635
2008-04-19 16:04 < Cream> shunpiker, what is the username?
2008-04-19 16:04 < Cream> you can make a suspected sockpuppet
2008-04-19 16:05 < ThePolecat> never read it
2008-04-19 16:05 < shunpiker> The checkuser page says "Disruptive "throwaway" account used only for a few edits" is an "unacceptable request" -- but it doesn't really give an alternate course of action.
2008-04-19 16:05 < Mike_H> read it, it's good
2008-04-19 16:05 < shunpiker> (Except to say that the account can be blocked, without checkuser needed -- but how?)
2008-04-19 16:06 < Cream> tell a admin
2008-04-19 16:07 < Cream> shunpiker, first, create a sockpuppet report
2008-04-19 16:07 < Cream> listing invidual socks
2008-04-19 16:07 < Cream> then request a CU
2008-04-19 16:07 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: "Even if you take out the names Hannah put a question mark next to, she's still got way more dating possibilities than I do," Dunn said. "It's so depressing, I almost wish I'd never violated her privacy."
2008-04-19 16:07 < Lucifer_Cat> http://www.theonion.com/content/node/38517
2008-04-19 16:07 < shunpiker> Thanks, that's helpful
2008-04-19 16:07 < Cream> shunpiker, you can see a example
2008-04-19 16:07 < Cream> if you want
2008-04-19 16:08 < shunpiker> Sure
2008-04-19 16:08 < Cream> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tausor
2008-04-19 16:08 < ThePolecat> Lucifer_Cat: That's a pretty good one.
2008-04-19 16:08 < Cream> all my work
2008-04-19 16:08 < Cream> tagging, evidence
2008-04-19 16:09 < ThePolecat> SHIT

2008-04-19 16:09 < Lucifer_Cat> MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
2008-04-19 16:11 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/onion_imagearticle2722.frontpage_thumbnail.jpg
2008-04-19 16:12 < ThePolecat> haha
2008-04-19 16:14 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/39090
2008-04-19 16:15 < Mike_H> and if you do a search for "Don Turnbee," you can find other food-related articles
2008-04-19 16:15 < Mike_H> "It's pretty confusing. They need to put up some signs explaining how everything works," Turnbee said. "At Taco Bell, at least they have railings so you know where to walk."
2008-04-19 16:15 < ThePolecat> Mike_H: I loved that one.
2008-04-19 16:17 < ThePolecat> "With television, newspapers, and radio stations all forced to cover only sports and entertainment, ad revenue and ratings are expected to soar in every major market nationwide."
2008-04-19 16:17 < ThePolecat> :-D
2008-04-19 16:18 < ThePolecat> as in, nobody wants to talk politics any more
2008-04-19 16:18 < ThePolecat> http://www.theonion.com/content/news/nation_agrees_not_to_talk_about
2008-04-19 16:18 < Lucifer_Cat> In an episode of The Replacements, when an evil villain realizes that his plot to melt Antarctica will eventually backfire, Riley asks him if "the truth is too inconvenient".
2008-04-19 16:19 < ThePolecat> Does that mean Al Gore is a thief?
2008-04-19 16:19 * Lucifer_Cat punches ThePolecat
2008-04-19 16:19 < Lucifer_Cat> maybe?
2008-04-19 16:19 < nsh> man
2008-04-19 16:19 * ThePolecat is being punched unwarrantedly
2008-04-19 16:19 * nsh punches ThePolecat
2008-04-19 16:19 < Lucifer_Cat> ThePolecat: actually the other way round
2008-04-19 16:20 < ThePolecat> Wow, I can see a pattern there.
2008-04-19 16:20 < kingturtle> gmorning
2008-04-19 16:20 < Lucifer_Cat> lol lets all punch ThePolecat ... next months stats will be interesting then :D
2008-04-19 16:21 < ThePolecat> Senseless violence, this must be a libertarian chat room.
2008-04-19 16:22 < Lucifer_Cat> ThePolecat: nope, just Clinton supporters
2008-04-19 16:22 < ThePolecat> That too.
2008-04-19 16:22 * quanticle punches ThePolecat
2008-04-19 16:23 * ThePolecat just talked to a gun nut, he was truly disturbing
2008-04-19 16:23 < ThePolecat> nothing like anyone in here
2008-04-19 16:23 < quanticle> ThePolecat: Heh. I just discovered that my friend was an Objectivist.
2008-04-19 16:23 < ThePolecat> just someone with an almost erotic relation with his gun
2008-04-19 16:23 < ThePolecat> who said things like "I'd never shoot except to kill"
2008-04-19 16:24 < ThePolecat> His sense of proportion was fairly negligible.
2008-04-19 16:24 < quanticle> ThePolecat: Meh. No different than someone who has a near-erotic relationship to their car, or their computer.
2008-04-19 16:24 < quanticle> ThePolecat: Where did you have this conversation?
2008-04-19 16:24 < ThePolecat> Well, potentially more dangerous.
2008-04-19 16:24 < ThePolecat> In another chat.
2008-04-19 16:24 < ThePolecat> haha
2008-04-19 16:24 < quanticle> Ah.
2008-04-19 16:25 < Lycurgus> the individual can be presumed to be american
2008-04-19 16:25 < quanticle> ThePolecat: Was this discussion in #politics?
2008-04-19 16:25 < quanticle> Lycurgus: Most gun nuts do.
2008-04-19 16:25 < ThePolecat> he was the "are you looking at me? RATATATATATAN!" kind of guy
2008-04-19 16:25 < ThePolecat> no
2008-04-19 16:25 < ThePolecat> He was.
2008-04-19 16:25 < ThePolecat> Seriously, he was slightly disturbing. He took this far too seriously.
2008-04-19 16:25 < Lycurgus> "clinging to guns and religion"
2008-04-19 16:26 < quanticle> ThePolecat: What're really disturbing are the Chinese nationalists these days.
2008-04-19 16:26 < ThePolecat> no religion there
2008-04-19 16:26 < ThePolecat> just guns
2008-04-19 16:26 < Lucifer_Cat> dont remind meof that
2008-04-19 16:26 < Lycurgus> did you asK?
2008-04-19 16:26 < ThePolecat> I don't know about Chinese nationalists.
2008-04-19 16:26 < ThePolecat> this one was an American nationalist.
2008-04-19 16:26 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Like the one's harassing the Duke student's family in China.
2008-04-19 16:26 < ThePolecat> not of the tax protestor kind, but similar.
2008-04-19 16:27 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Because the student had the gall to support the pro-Tibet movement at Duke.
2008-04-19 16:27 < Lucifer_Cat> well actually i was talking bout "clinging to guns and religion" but i was surprised at how well it fit the new discussion as well
2008-04-19 16:27 < quanticle> ThePolecat: Did he blather about 'states' rights'?
2008-04-19 16:27 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: yup i read it
2008-04-19 16:27 < ThePolecat> no
2008-04-19 16:27 < ThePolecat> just the "pry it from my cold dead hands" thing
2008-04-19 16:27 < ST47> Fucking admins
2008-04-19 16:28 < quanticle> ThePolecat: That's actually rather surprising. Most gun nuts have a near-paranoiac distrust of the federal government.
2008-04-19 16:28 < ST47> !admin unblock [[User:STBotI]]
2008-04-19 16:28 < ThePolecat> i.e. "if the government wants to disarm me, I warn them, I'm armed."
2008-04-19 16:28 < snowolf> ST47: ahahaha lol
2008-04-19 16:28 < ThePolecat> Well, not quite
2008-04-19 16:28 < ThePolecat> but that's a fairly conservative interpretation
2008-04-19 16:28 < ThePolecat> of what I did hear
2008-04-19 16:28 * Cream cuddles ST47 for self pwning
2008-04-19 16:29 < ThePolecat> Bayern won.
2008-04-19 16:29 < Lucifer_Cat> lol ST47 nice bot you got there.
2008-04-19 16:29 < Stwalkerster> ST47: done
2008-04-19 16:29 < Lucifer_Cat> so sad it doesnt work
2008-04-19 16:29 < ST47> Thank you Stwalkerster
2008-04-19 16:29 < Lucifer_Cat> ThePolecat: so according to this signed agreement, you will now suck my balls?
2008-04-19 16:29 < ST47> Lucifer_Cat: Go die in a small dark place, please
2008-04-19 16:29 < ThePolecat> Lucifer_Cat: Footballs?
2008-04-19 16:30 < Lucifer_Cat> ST47: jeez, relax. im sorry.
2008-04-19 16:30 < Lucifer_Cat> ThePolecat: not metal balls
2008-04-19 16:30 * quanticle wonders why ST47 is so pissed.
2008-04-19 16:30 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: his bot crashed into a wall
2008-04-19 16:31 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: What happened?
2008-04-19 16:31 < Cream> and died due to stingrays but got ressurected
2008-04-19 16:31 < Lucifer_Cat> got blocked apparently
2008-04-19 16:31 < Lucifer_Cat> Cream: lol
2008-04-19 16:32 < ST47> quanticle: ST47 is pissed because admins block his bot far too often
2008-04-19 16:32 < ST47> And it's always AFTER the problem is fixed
2008-04-19 16:32 < quanticle> ST47: Ah. What was the alleged problem this time?
2008-04-19 16:33 < ST47> Well, the bot was tagging all inages from commons as non-free images without a rationale
2008-04-19 16:33 < ST47> But I did fix it, ater it was brought to my attention peacefully
2008-04-19 16:33 < quanticle> Whoops.
2008-04-19 16:33 < ST47> At least they didn't autoblock the toolserver this time
2008-04-19 16:34 < ST47> That always causes quite a nightmare
2008-04-19 16:35 < quanticle> Heh. It looks like the PirateBay is turning Sweden into a sort of de-facto data haven.
2008-04-19 16:35 < quanticle> They've just unveiled an anonymous blogging service.
2008-04-19 16:36 * ThePolecat hasn't eaten anything in six hours. I reckon I'll brb.
2008-04-19 16:37 < quanticle> Heh.
2008-04-19 16:37 * quanticle has occassionally gone upto 72 hours without eating anything of substance
2008-04-19 16:37 < ThePolecat> I have too, but it's not particularly desirable
2008-04-19 16:37 < ThePolecat> :-D
2008-04-19 16:38 < ThePolecat> even then it was two bratwursts, which was nearly all I ate all day.
2008-04-19 16:38 < ThePolecat> I'm on a highly unorthodox diet
2008-04-19 16:39 < quanticle> Heh. Its funny. When I'm really in the middle of something, I just... forget.
2008-04-19 16:39 < quanticle> Its like food is no longer important to me.
2008-04-19 16:48 < Messedrocker> how would a perl web script work?
2008-04-19 16:49 < Messedrocker> would people load the .pl page and there is perl script as well as some echo "html stuff"; ?
2008-04-19 16:51 < quanticle|away> Messedrocker: The perl script would have to be in the cgi-bin directory of your webserver.
2008-04-19 16:51 < Messedrocker> ah
2008-04-19 16:51 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: was that during your north africa trip or was it the trip to england
2008-04-19 16:51 < Messedrocker> how would the script be summoned, though?
2008-04-19 16:51 < quanticle|away> Messedrocker: The web server would execute the script.
2008-04-19 16:51 < quanticle|away> Messedrocker: Are you using Apache?
2008-04-19 16:51 < Messedrocker> yes
2008-04-19 16:51 * ThePolecat needs Grimm's Dictionary and cannot reach it.
2008-04-19 16:52 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: "Aish nazg ul-baturk..."
2008-04-19 16:52 < Messedrocker> but what would be the server's que to execute the script?
2008-04-19 16:52 < quanticle|away> Lucifer_Cat: I have been to neither North Africa or England
2008-04-19 16:52 < nazgjunk> lucasbfr: wtf.
2008-04-19 16:52 < Lucifer_Cat> then i dont see a reason to go without food for 72 hours
2008-04-19 16:52 < nazgjunk> er
2008-04-19 16:52 < nazgjunk> Lucifer_Cat: close.
2008-04-19 16:52 < Lucifer_Cat> you mean Lucifer_Cat
2008-04-19 16:52 < Lucifer_Cat> lol yeah
2008-04-19 16:52 * ThePolecat will give it some time
2008-04-19 16:53 < quanticle|away> Messedrocker: The server will execute the script when a client access the script.
2008-04-19 16:53 < quanticle|away> Anyway
2008-04-19 16:53 * quanticle|away out
2008-04-19 16:53 < Lucifer_Cat> i see a disturbing pattern of unintended buzzes
2008-04-19 16:53 < ThePolecat> huh, why does Google Cache need to contact the original server before showing me a cached version?
2008-04-19 16:53 < ThePolecat> isn't it the idea that that should be avoided?
2008-04-19 16:53 < Lucifer_Cat> ThePolecat: no idea
2008-04-19 16:54 < ThePolecat> Oh, for the images.
2008-04-19 16:54 < ThePolecat> fair enough.
2008-04-19 16:54 < ThePolecat> there's a text-only version which doesn't
2008-04-19 16:54 < Lucifer_Cat> nazgjunk: wtf was the wtf for?
2008-04-19 16:54 < nazgjunk> Lucifer_Cat: I was hoping for it to be something entirely different then decided against it
2008-04-19 16:55 < Lucifer_Cat> what?
2008-04-19 16:56 < Lucifer_Cat> and seriously, you guys need to stop stalking just about anything
2008-04-19 16:56 < ThePolecat> tracert fails, but I don't get proper timeouts
2008-04-19 16:56 < ThePolecat> in the browser
2008-04-19 17:13 < evn> query api seems down?

2008-04-19 17:14 < evn> example, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php?what=content&titles=Main%20Page
2008-04-19 17:14 < Messedrocker> does 1 count as a prime number, since it is only divisible by one number and prime numbers are divisible by two?
2008-04-19 17:14 < evn> no
2008-04-19 17:21 < Gazimoff> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number
2008-04-19 17:30 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: learning programming or what? :P
2008-04-19 17:31 < Gazimoff> Perl for absolute beginners, I think :)
2008-04-19 17:32 < geniice> Ah nerd eurodance 2006 was a simpler time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OzWIFX8M-Y&mode=related&search=

2008-04-19 17:33 < goshzilla^> wrong channel
2008-04-19 17:38 * yao_ziyuan listens in
2008-04-19 17:39 < Aqwis2> swededance \o/
2008-04-19 17:40 < ThePolecat> that is such an odd front picture:
2008-04-19 17:40 < ThePolecat> http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/German
2008-04-19 17:41 < ThePolecat> that's like saying "Utter! Learn the English Language!", then putting a picture of a Barnsley coal mine next to it
2008-04-19 17:44 * ThePolecat reads a few pretty well-done Wikibooks
2008-04-19 17:44 < ThePolecat> and Wikibook-skeletons
2008-04-19 17:46 < geniice> Aqwis2 but how many of the lyrics did you have to look up on wikipedia?
2008-04-19 17:47 < Aqwis2> hmm
2008-04-19 17:47 < Aqwis2> what do you mean?
2008-04-19 17:47 < geniice> Well I'd never actualy run across Ventrilo
2008-04-19 17:47 < Aqwis2> oh
2008-04-19 17:49 < Gazimoff> What are Wikibooks?
2008-04-19 17:49 < snowolf> [[wikibooks]]
2008-04-19 17:49 < geniice> Gazimoff a project to write free textbookjs
2008-04-19 17:52 < Gazimoff> Ah, cool.
2008-04-19 17:53 < Gazimoff> It's good to know we have some experts willing to write them.
2008-04-19 17:54 < Cyrius> ...experts?
2008-04-19 17:56 < geniice> Gazimoff more wikipedians prepared to write them to an extent
2008-04-19 17:56 < Gazimoff> Indeed. Even though you're not an expert on a particular topic, you're probably a fair expert at research and collaboration
2008-04-19 17:57 < Gazimoff> Use the skills that you are good at in order to manouver around those you are deficient in :)
2008-04-19 17:58 < geniice> wikipedians know everything. Includeing what Dota is
2008-04-19 17:59 < Aqwis2> DoTA actually
2008-04-19 17:59 < Aqwis2> i think the "o" is "of"
2008-04-19 17:59 < Aqwis2> or something
2008-04-19 17:59 < gwern> geniice: dota is obviously Defense of the Ancients, or possibly the popular song based on it
2008-04-19 17:59 < geniice> okey they don't know much about languages
2008-04-19 17:59 < geniice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_name:_F
2008-04-19 18:00 < geniice> gwern wikipedia thinks the song is [[Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA]]
2008-04-19 18:00 < gwern> (by song I mean Basshunter's DotA, of course)
2008-04-19 18:00 < Gazimoff> That's spooky. The talkpage update I'm writing at the moment refers to DotA.
2008-04-19 18:00 < Aqwis2> does he actually ever say "ventrilo" in the song?
2008-04-19 18:01 < Aqwis2> sounds like he always says "vänten" or something
2008-04-19 18:01 * gwern has the song, but alas, my swedish is too poor to say
2008-04-19 18:01 < geniice> Aqwis2 don't think so which is a pitty since our ventrilo wants to know how it is pronounced
2008-04-19 18:01 < Aqwis2> heh
2008-04-19 18:02 < geniice> ventrilo talk page rather
2008-04-19 18:02 < Aqwis2> aka "short i" versus "long i"?
2008-04-19 18:03 < geniice> ask microsoft
2008-04-19 18:03 < Gazimoff> Is there a policy that discourages pricing of products and services in articles? I think there is, but I can't remember
2008-04-19 18:04 < Lucifer_Cat> Gazimoff: yeah there is. unless those are apple products.
2008-04-19 18:04 < Lucifer_Cat> <kidding. i have no idea>
2008-04-19 18:20 < Lucifer_Cat> imaginaaaaaayyyytion
2008-04-19 18:25 < Gazimoff> Yay, 4 hours updating discussions on article talk pages :)
2008-04-19 18:26 < Gazimoff> I need to do more article work...
2008-04-19 18:26 < Lucifer_Cat> whoosh... there goes the last trace of "a life"
2008-04-19 18:27 < Gazimoff> I know...
2008-04-19 18:27 < Gazimoff> On the bright side, it beats world of warcrack...
2008-04-19 18:29 < Lucifer_Cat> lol true
2008-04-19 18:29 < Lucifer_Cat> atleast you are doing something useful
2008-04-19 18:30 < Gazimoff> Discussions, debates on article cleanup, peer review postings, assesments...
