2008-04-21 16:25 * gurch would prefer a state of mutual huggling
2008-04-21 16:25 < Messedrocker> walker told me i have aids
2008-04-21 16:25 < ShakespeareFan00> R45: maybe that's a study Wikiversity could undertake?
2008-04-21 16:26 < Shiroi_Neko> communism is communism
2008-04-21 16:26 < ShakespeareFan00> They are already studies that show male driven trading floors have effects on the risks people take
2008-04-21 16:26 < zocky> as kathreine hepburn says in the survival of the fittest, "Nature, Mr Alnut,is what we are put in this world to rise above"
2008-04-21 16:26 * Shiroi_Neko watches zocky quote people
2008-04-21 16:26 < ShakespeareFan00> Communium also doesn't work to well in post-industrial societies
2008-04-21 16:27 < ShakespeareFan00> *communism
2008-04-21 16:27 < Shiroi_Neko> ShakespeareFan00 it can
2008-04-21 16:27 < Shiroi_Neko> look at china
2008-04-21 16:27 < R45> It hasn't really had a chance
2008-04-21 16:27 < NicolasJager> hey, anyone know if http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Labeled_section_transclusion came to any fruits? ei. is there a way to transclude a section of an article?
2008-04-21 16:27 < Gracenotes> ShakespeareFan00: communism is, theoretically, *after* post-industrial societies
2008-04-21 16:27 < R45> China isn't communist
2008-04-21 16:27 < ShakespeareFan00> China is not turly communist
2008-04-21 16:27 < Gracenotes> when the workers unite and get bread, and the peasants unite and get land!
2008-04-21 16:27 < ShakespeareFan00> Despite claiming to be, it isn't
2008-04-21 16:27 < Gracenotes> ftw
2008-04-21 16:28 < Shiroi_Neko> ShakespeareFan00 and lets keep the world believing in that
2008-04-21 16:28 < ShakespeareFan00> Gracenotes: A non-capatilist world will happen...
2008-04-21 16:28 < R45> communisnm today is a label for dictatorship anyway, has been pretty much for the last 50 years
2008-04-21 16:28 < Shiroi_Neko> when peasants unite they pile on top of each other
2008-04-21 16:28 < R45> which makes no sense, but whatever..
2008-04-21 16:28 < Shiroi_Neko> forming wat we call a menos grande
2008-04-21 16:28 < Shiroi_Neko> also known as gillian
2008-04-21 16:28 < Gracenotes> ShakespeareFan00: will happen? not according to Stalin...
2008-04-21 16:29 < R45> Stalin also thought he was a great military strategist, he was just ever so slightly dellusional
2008-04-21 16:29 < ShakespeareFan00> Gracenotes: A non capital driven world will happen, but not in the way the Soviet model post Lenin saw it happening
2008-04-21 16:29 < Gracenotes> just a tad bit
2008-04-21 16:29 < ShakespeareFan00> It won't happen by violent revolution
2008-04-21 16:29 < Shiroi_Neko> R45 oh he was a great strategist
2008-04-21 16:29 < Shiroi_Neko> he just lacked infinite resources
2008-04-21 16:30 < ShakespeareFan00> but it will happen by determined action
2008-04-21 16:30 < R45> Shiroi_Neko: He took credit for most things he did not do
2008-04-21 16:30 < ShakespeareFan00> As I said true communism is essentialy Govt by town meeting ;)
2008-04-21 16:30 < Shiroi_Neko> R45 he had a lot of harvesters
2008-04-21 16:30 < Gracenotes> ShakespeareFan00: hm? like the Menshivik model?
2008-04-21 16:31 < Shiroi_Neko> Ceiling_Cat
2008-04-21 16:31 < ShakespeareFan00> Gracenotes: I havent' read much on communist theory to be able to comment on specfics
2008-04-21 16:31 < Shiroi_Neko> do you watch the working cat?
2008-04-21 16:32 < Gracenotes> ShakespeareFan00: Menshivik model = first we undergo advanced industrialization, which creates circumstances for the workers to revolt
2008-04-21 16:32 < ShakespeareFan00> Ah...
2008-04-21 16:33 < ShakespeareFan00> Well to bring about an end to capital driven socirty actually in fact requires some degree of disconect from industrialisation...

2008-04-21 17:17 < The359> Honda has announced that it will launch a new safety system in Japan that will actually warn drivers of crime hot spots. The new system — which will launch throughout Japan on Tuesday — will use police records in conjunction with the car's navigation system to warn drivers of dangerous areas.

2008-04-21 17:46 < quanticle> Cream: On the other hand, you can take a DVD burner and strip the laser diode out of that to make a pretty powerful red laser.
2008-04-21 17:46 < Working_Cat> Cream: mind explaining how
2008-04-21 17:46 < Kerotan> ie. whats wrong with red lasers?
2008-04-21 17:46 < quanticle> Cream: Powerful enough to light matches.
2008-04-21 17:46 < Cream> cool
2008-04-21 17:47 < Cream> well, i'm tired of using simple red laser pointers
2008-04-21 17:47 * WBOSITG can't find my homework
2008-04-21 17:47 < Working_Cat> ugh today was a bad day gastronomically
2008-04-21 17:47 < Kerotan> when you don't have a match box, but you do have matches, use a Red laser!.
2008-04-21 17:47 < Cream> that disasspears in thin air
2008-04-21 17:47 < Working_Cat> WBOSITG: talk about lame excuses
2008-04-21 17:47 < Kerotan> My dog ate my coursework.
2008-04-21 17:47 < WBOSITG> lol, I honestly can't
2008-04-21 17:47 < WBOSITG> I don't have a dog
2008-04-21 17:47 < quanticle> Kerotan: Well, its also powerful enough to pop balloons.
2008-04-21 17:47 < Kerotan> neither do i.
2008-04-21 17:47 < WBOSITG> (unfortunately)
2008-04-21 17:47 < Working_Cat> I forgot to bring the book
2008-04-21 17:48 < WBOSITG> Kerotan: xD
2008-04-21 17:48 < Cream> i used it for toilet paper
2008-04-21 17:48 < Thehelpfulone2> quanticle: there not actually limitations as I can swap it - but I like it that way
2008-04-21 17:48 < Thehelpfulone2> It also means I can go on 40 channels max - without a /mode +u
2008-04-21 17:48 < Thehelpfulone2> although I don't need to ;)
2008-04-21 17:48 < Working_Cat> I wrote it on the floppy, but its corrupted
2008-04-21 17:48 < Kerotan> a floppy?
2008-04-21 17:48 < Kerotan> are you made man?
2008-04-21 17:48 < quanticle> Thehelpfulone2: Ah. Ok. To be fair, I don't think I've ever seen you as Thehelpfulone, I've only seen Thehelpfulone2.
2008-04-21 17:48 < Kerotan> mad*
2008-04-21 17:49 < Thehelpfulone2> quanticle: try #wikipedia-en-help or #freenode ;)
2008-04-21 17:49 < Kerotan> no teacher would buy that.
2008-04-21 17:49 < Thehelpfulone2> I'm Thehelpfulone2 on #wikipedia-en , #wikipedia , #wikimedia-ops , #huggle and thats about it I think
2008-04-21 17:49 * Working_Cat used to keep a bunch of corrupt unreadable on college machine floppies at hand in case of assignments.
2008-04-21 17:50 < Working_Cat> Kerotan: it worked atleast once every semester
2008-04-21 17:50 < quanticle> Thehelpfulone2: Ah. That would explain why I never see your other nick.
2008-04-21 17:50 < Working_Cat> the trick, not the floppy.
2008-04-21 17:50 < Kerotan> heh
2008-04-21 17:50 < Kerotan> that would be some fine data storage device.
2008-04-21 17:51 < Working_Cat> Kerotan: thankfully, CDs and CD burners did not become very popular at my college till i was in third year...
2008-04-21 17:51 < Working_Cat> and by that time i had managed to find an exploit in them as well
2008-04-21 17:52 < Kerotan> I still used floppies in school for quite some time
2008-04-21 17:52 < Kerotan> there was a short period of CD suage.
2008-04-21 17:53 < Kerotan> usage*
2008-04-21 17:53 < Kerotan> and the I used memory sticks
2008-04-21 17:53 < WBOSITG> Working_Cat: you take in the file as a 2007 Word file, when the school only has Word 2003.
2008-04-21 17:53 < Working_Cat> yeah i switched to memory sticks in my last 2 sems when i actually wanted to submit it
2008-04-21 17:53 < Kerotan> i pulled the I forgot to burn it on to CD excuse more times than I would like to remember.
2008-04-21 17:54 < Working_Cat> Kerotan: thats the digital equivalent of "its in the other journal/notebook"
2008-04-21 17:54 < Kerotan> yah.
2008-04-21 17:54 < Kerotan> it worked pretty well none the less.
2008-04-21 17:54 < Kerotan> although the plain honesty one is pretty good at the moment.
2008-04-21 17:55 < Working_Cat> WBOSITG: never got to use that ploy, though i had it as backup.
2008-04-21 17:55 < Kerotan> or the "I was busy doing coursework"
2008-04-21 17:55 < WBOSITG> Working_Cat: oh
2008-04-21 17:55 < WBOSITG> oh well
2008-04-21 17:55 < Working_Cat> i did the .zip attachment one once
2008-04-21 17:55 < Kerotan> They can't perscute you if you where busy doing other work.
2008-04-21 17:55 < Kerotan> its almost air tight
2008-04-21 17:56 < Kerotan> unless you use it on the person your suppost to be giving coursework to.
2008-04-21 17:56 < Working_Cat> WBOSITG: oh also, i was already in grad school by the time 2007 came about, and so such underhanded tricks were quite out of Q
2008-04-21 17:57 * WBOSITG doesn't know what grad school is
2008-04-21 17:57 * WBOSITG is Scottish
2008-04-21 17:57 < Working_Cat> where are you from?
2008-04-21 17:57 < Working_Cat> oh ok
2008-04-21 17:57 < WBOSITG> lol
2008-04-21 17:57 < Working_Cat> Graduate School
2008-04-21 17:57 < WBOSITG> ;)
2008-04-21 17:57 < Working_Cat> where you do your masters degrees
2008-04-21 17:57 < WBOSITG> well, yeah, but is that like University?
2008-04-21 17:57 < Working_Cat> smaller classes and smarter profs
2008-04-21 17:57 < WBOSITG> or Colledge?
2008-04-21 17:58 < WBOSITG> ohh
2008-04-21 17:58 < Working_Cat> yeah University i guess
2008-04-21 17:58 < WBOSITG> so like University X
2008-04-21 17:58 < Kerotan> I am only 18, so I have a while of wheeling out excuses.
2008-04-21 17:58 < Kerotan> and I am set to end up doing an MA as well.
2008-04-21 18:00 < Working_Cat> btw today's xkcd is epic "fuck-hes-reading-my-daydreams"
2008-04-21 18:00 < Working_Cat> quanticle: did you read todays xkcd
2008-04-21 18:01 < bbot> Americans are just now learning that, since the early days of the Bush II Administration, at the supervisory level and above, the FAA has been in bed with the airlines.
2008-04-21 18:01 < bbot> http://writ.news.findlaw.com/dean/20080418.html
2008-04-21 18:01 < bbot> Zing!
2008-04-21 18:02 < Working_Cat> and lulz at this one too: http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1005
2008-04-21 18:02 < quanticle> Working_Cat: Yeah. It was quite awesome.
2008-04-21 18:02 < Cream> lulz
2008-04-21 18:03 < ps_dsklt> How can I dump the entire wikipedia to my computer? I saw one easy way one time, but I forget where...
2008-04-21 18:03 < WBOSITG> Kerotan: 15
2008-04-21 18:03 < Kerotan> wha?
2008-04-21 18:03 < Working_Cat> that reminds me, i had planned to start a robotics hobby once i had capital to do so
2008-04-21 18:03 < WBOSITG> you said you were 18
2008-04-21 18:03 < WBOSITG> so I said I was 15
2008-04-21 18:03 < Kerotan> I am yes.
2008-04-21 18:03 < Gracenotes> ps_dsklt: you can get all current revisions of articles in one tarball XML file
2008-04-21 18:03 < Kerotan> ok.
2008-04-21 18:04 < Cyrius> ps_dsklt: http://download.wikimedia.org/
2008-04-21 18:04 < WBOSITG> sorry, wasn;t obvious
2008-04-21 18:04 < Kerotan> Also where is this latest XCKD.
2008-04-21 18:04 < WBOSITG> * Wasn't
2008-04-21 18:04 < Kerotan> ?
2008-04-21 18:04 < Working_Cat> how huge is that furball?
2008-04-21 18:04 < Working_Cat> Kerotan: http://xkcd.com/
2008-04-21 18:05 < Kerotan> sorry, I only just realised this comment: "fuck-hes-reading-my-daydreams"
2008-04-21 18:05 < Gracenotes> ps_dsklt: actually, not tarball, just gz2. my bad.
2008-04-21 18:05 < ps_dsklt> Gracenotes: That is fine, but I wish the dump with all it's languages, and all versions of articles ever produced.
2008-04-21 18:05 < Kerotan> I was being really slow.
2008-04-21 18:05 < ps_dsklt> Cyrius: thanks for pointing the link.
2008-04-21 18:05 < Gracenotes> ps_dsklt: you can do that, I suppose... though it'll take up a lot of space
2008-04-21 18:06 < Kerotan> Import soul.
2008-04-21 18:06 < Gracenotes> not all dumps are recent... they're made every so often
2008-04-21 18:06 < quanticle> Kerotan: Its Python!
2008-04-21 18:06 < Gracenotes> the last successful full dump for enwiki was in January 2008
2008-04-21 18:06 < quanticle> The alt-text is also gold.
2008-04-21 18:06 < Kerotan> The 2001 a space odyssey comic he did was prob my favourite.
2008-04-21 18:07 < Working_Cat> it would be hard for me to pick a fave
2008-04-21 18:08 < quanticle> Kerotan: You mean the one where HAL marries GlaDOS?
2008-04-21 18:08 < Kerotan> right its gone 11, and I can't be arsed to work anymore.
2008-04-21 18:08 * Working_Cat will be back after a wikileak
2008-04-21 18:08 < Kerotan> yes.
2008-04-21 18:08 < Kerotan> wikipedia should rebrand everyday activities.
2008-04-21 18:08 < ps_dsklt> Gracenotes: I'm afraid that the bandwidth used during that operation can prejudice in any way the wikimedia servers. Do you know if there is any robot exclusion policies within wikimedia servers?
2008-04-21 18:08 < quanticle> Kerotan: Off topic, but is your nick based off Kero from Card Captor Sakura?
2008-04-21 18:08 < Kerotan> Nope.
2008-04-21 18:09 < quanticle> Kerotan: Ok, just wondering.
2008-04-21 18:09 < Kerotan> from MGS actually.
2008-04-21 18:09 < Kerotan> so perhaps based on CCS
2008-04-21 18:09 < quanticle> Kerotan: Ah. I have always wanted to play that game, but never got around to it.
2008-04-21 18:10 < Gracenotes> ps_dsklt: it should be fine to download one after another. Feel free to ask at #wikimedia-tech, btw, the official channel for Wikimedia's technical operations
2008-04-21 18:10 < Kerotan> Its fun if you like hiding in dark places and man handling men in a totally non-homoerotic fashion.
2008-04-21 18:10 < ps_dsklt> Gracenotes: Thank you very much.
2008-04-21 18:11 < WBOSITG> quanticle: Amazing game, all three
2008-04-21 18:11 < WBOSITG> Especially 2
2008-04-21 18:11 < Kerotan> Yeah.
2008-04-21 18:11 < Kerotan> I enjoyed 2.
2008-04-21 18:11 < quanticle> WBOSITG: Yeah. I've heard.
2008-04-21 18:11 < WBOSITG> :P
2008-04-21 18:11 < Kerotan> I seem to be one of the few people who liked radien.
2008-04-21 18:12 < WBOSITG> Kerotan: I did, I don't see the fuss tbh
2008-04-21 18:12 < WBOSITG> I think it was because he nicked Snake's limelight
2008-04-21 18:12 * Working_Cat goes.
2008-04-21 18:12 < Kerotan> I think its because people are rather insecure.
2008-04-21 18:13 < WBOSITG> eh?
2008-04-21 18:13 < Kerotan> Its because he had long hair.
2008-04-21 18:13 < Kerotan> ergo he was far too girly to be an action hero.
2008-04-21 18:14 < WBOSITG> oh
2008-04-21 18:14 < Monobi> K__,
2008-04-21 18:14 < WBOSITG> I wouldn't have minded if Emma Emmerich was the hero
2008-04-21 18:14 < Kerotan> There was so much drama when Konam joked that snake was gay.
2008-04-21 18:14 < WBOSITG> xD
2008-04-21 18:14 < Kerotan> I liked EE too.
2008-04-21 18:15 < WBOSITG> *sniff*
2008-04-21 18:15 * WBOSITG stops before he gives the whole game away
2008-04-21 18:15 < Kerotan> Otacon was by far the coolest character in the entire game
2008-04-21 18:16 < gwern> Kerotan: which says something if a pants pisser is your coolest character...
2008-04-21 18:16 < Kerotan> totally.
2008-04-21 18:17 < Kerotan> I associate much more with otacon then any other character.
2008-04-21 18:18 < Kerotan> He may not be the coolest guy in terms of "look at him he is cool"
2008-04-21 18:18 < WBOSITG> Same, actually
2008-04-21 18:18 < quanticle> Kerotan: But he's the character that's most like you?
2008-04-21 18:18 < Kerotan> but i feel that he is certainly one of the most well developed characters.
2008-04-21 18:18 < Kerotan> Well yeah.
2008-04-21 18:19 < WBOSITG> Yeah, he's awesome, especially if you die
2008-04-21 18:19 < WBOSITG> "Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!"
2008-04-21 18:19 < Kerotan> there are not many other characters I can associate with.
2008-04-21 18:19 < WBOSITG> or in french
2008-04-21 18:19 < Alkivar> WBOSITG: Mushroom Mushroom?
2008-04-21 18:20 < WBOSITG> "Le serpent? Le serpent? Nooooooooon!"
2008-04-21 18:20 < Kerotan> Its like In MMOs, i end up playing as girls because quite frankly, all the men are impossible to associate with.
2008-04-21 18:20 < Kerotan> lol
2008-04-21 18:20 < WBOSITG> Alkivar: eh?
2008-04-21 18:20 < gwern> actually, speaking of Otacon, he's my favorite in the webcomic 'The Last Days of Foxhoud'
2008-04-21 18:20 < Alkivar> badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom.... snaaaake its a snaaaake
2008-04-21 18:20 < Alkivar> since you apparently didnt get context
2008-04-21 18:21 < WBOSITG> Kerotan: I get that, but in games like SSX
2008-04-21 18:21 < WBOSITG> Alkivar: ooooooooooh
2008-04-21 18:21 * WBOSITG is very slow
2008-04-21 18:21 < Alkivar> its ok... meme recall is a hard skill to develop
2008-04-21 18:22 < Kerotan> the male characters seem to have an reputation for being stupid and imprecise.
2008-04-21 18:22 < Alkivar> and only useful for losers trying to win bar bets
2008-04-21 18:22 < Kerotan> hehe
2008-04-21 18:22 < Kerotan> Drunken poker is how you win money.
2008-04-21 18:22 < WBOSITG> Kerotan: quite
2008-04-21 18:22 < Kerotan> you get the opponents so drunk that they play beer hands.
2008-04-21 18:23 < Kerotan> the money you spend buying them drinks is recouped in the poker game.
2008-04-21 18:23 < Mm40> hahaha
2008-04-21 18:24 < quanticle> Kerotan: Beer hands - hands that only look good after a certain number of beers?
2008-04-21 18:24 < Kerotan> correct.
2008-04-21 18:25 < Mm40> See?
2008-04-21 18:25 < Mm40> Now everybody knows Kerotan
2008-04-21 18:26 < WBOSITG> I already knew him though
2008-04-21 18:26 < Kerotan> hehe
2008-04-21 18:27 < Mm40> WBOSITG
2008-04-21 18:27 < WBOSITG> yes?
2008-04-21 18:27 < Mm40> from where?
2008-04-21 18:27 < Kerotan> messedrocker must be having fun.
2008-04-21 18:28 < WBOSITG> indeed.
2008-04-21 18:28 < WBOSITG> Mm40: Just seen him around
2008-04-21 18:28 < Mm40> IRC
2008-04-21 18:28 < Kerotan> Thats how most be are known.
2008-04-21 18:28 < WBOSITG> no, not until tonight
2008-04-21 18:28 < WBOSITG> I don't really use IRC
2008-04-21 18:29 < Kerotan> I have been wuite inactive recently
2008-04-21 18:29 < WBOSITG> coursework?
2008-04-21 18:29 < Kerotan> I haven't been on IRC in gaes
2008-04-21 18:29 < Kerotan> yeah.
2008-04-21 18:29 < WBOSITG> :O
2008-04-21 18:29 < Mm40> As I was saying, there should be a WelcomeBot
2008-04-21 18:29 < Kerotan> schoolwork in general.
2008-04-21 18:29 < WBOSITG> gaes?
2008-04-21 18:29 < Mm40> *ages

2008-04-21 18:29 < bbot> #wikipedia puts the * first?
2008-04-21 18:30 < bbot> How curious.
2008-04-21 18:30 < WBOSITG> I do
2008-04-21 18:30 < WBOSITG> not everyone does
2008-04-21 18:30 < Mm40> Same here
2008-04-21 18:30 < WBOSITG> Kerotan: ha.
2008-04-21 18:30 < Kerotan> Ha?
2008-04-21 18:30 < Mm40> *<insert corrected word>
2008-04-21 18:30 < WBOSITG> See, up in Scotland, I have Standard grades in...
2008-04-21 18:30 < WBOSITG> 10 days?
2008-04-21 18:30 < WBOSITG> :(
2008-04-21 18:30 < Kerotan> :(
2008-04-21 18:30 < bbot> I didn't even know it was a contested standard. I just started doing it after I saw it at bash.org.
2008-04-21 18:31 < WBOSITG> This userpage is so badly designed, garish and ugly that it should be carpet bombed.
2008-04-21 18:31 < WBOSITG> It's not
2008-04-21 18:31 < Kerotan> i put it either end Bbot.
2008-04-21 18:31 < Kerotan> Ah thats sweet.
2008-04-21 18:31 < WBOSITG> it's true
2008-04-21 18:31 < Kerotan> I stole that from somewher ages ago.
2008-04-21 18:31 < WBOSITG> And Where is Malinaccier?!
2008-04-21 18:32 < WBOSITG> dammt
2008-04-21 18:32 < Kerotan> WBOSITG: Somewhere?
2008-04-21 18:32 < WBOSITG> I guessed as much
2008-04-21 18:33 < WBOSITG> He's always there ¬¬
2008-04-21 18:33 < WBOSITG> I need to talk to him D:
2008-04-21 18:33 < WBOSITG> oh well
2008-04-21 18:33 < WBOSITG> Omgz
2008-04-21 18:33 < Kerotan> Yeah that wasn't very helpful of me, but I am not thehelpfulone.
2008-04-21 18:33 < WBOSITG> it's almost midnight
2008-04-21 18:33 < WBOSITG> (sorta
