2008-05-02 18:37 < Sfan00> Thanks
2008-05-02 18:38 < Sfan00> I am starting to possibly need SUL, or at ther very least a cross-wiki talk page
2008-05-02 18:38 < Sfan00> :(
2008-05-02 18:38 < Messedrocker> if you are an upstanding user
2008-05-02 18:38 < Messedrocker> you can get adminship on test wikipedia

2008-05-02 18:39 < Mm40> http://testwiki.unixpod.com/wiki/
2008-05-02 18:39 < Sfan00> And I might be de-facto active in WM:Radio
2008-05-02 18:39 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-05-02 18:40 < Sfan00> However I don't use ShakespeareFan00 account for most of my enwiki edits
2008-05-02 18:40 < Sfan00> I use an alternate

2008-05-02 19:03 < Sfan00> Messedrocker: and Who's the Gatekeeper? ;)
2008-05-02 19:10 < Demi> "Peter Jackson’s problem-plagued adaptation of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones—coincidentally, also Hollywood’s pet name for Nicole Kidman—has temporarily shuttered production over “creative differences” between Jackson and his art director over “the best way to depict Heaven.” (Apparently he didn’t agree with Jackson’s idea that Heaven should “just look like a lovely patch of New Zealand.”)" <- hehe
2008-05-02 19:11 < Ashfire908> what are you using for '?
2008-05-02 19:11 < Demi> whatever was in the web page, they're probably some kind of ass quotes
2008-05-02 19:11 * Ashfire908 is getting undisplayable chars
2008-05-02 19:12 < Demi> my guess is they're whatever “ and ” are in ISO-8859-1
2008-05-02 19:13 < quanticle> Heh. I was just looking at my school's course catalog for the fall, and, all I can say is that I want to take a course in Pediatric Dentistry, because it'd be awesome to have PEDO 1125 on my transcript.
2008-05-02 19:15 < Looooooooong_Cat> >_<
2008-05-02 19:15 < Looooooooong_Cat> lol
2008-05-02 19:15 < Looooooooong_Cat> quanticle, what are you studying in?
2008-05-02 19:16 < quanticle> Looooooooong_Cat: Computer Science, and I'm in my final year. Somehow, I don't think I'd be able to swing the necessary departmental approval forms to get into a course that's so far outside my field, it might as well be blocked by the curvature of the Earth.
2008-05-02 19:17 * quanticle never noticed the Pediatric Dentistry department before.
2008-05-02 19:17 < zocky> haha, a comment on a forum where a bunch of english people whine about being oppressed by the scots and the immigrants: "Being an exiled Welshman, and therefore one of the pre-Anglo-Saxon British, all I want is for the English to give us England back. Bloody Immigrants!"
2008-05-02 19:17 < Looooooooong_Cat> ah ok
2008-05-02 19:18 < Looooooooong_Cat> I'm studying nutrition with a certificate in visual interpretation
2008-05-02 19:21 < Sfan00> Zocky: :)
2008-05-02 19:21 < Sfan00> Zocky: They've got a point ;)
2008-05-02 19:24 < quanticle> zocky: Heh. I saw something similar, except that it was a Navajo (or was it a Ute), complaining about the "damn white immigrants coming and ruining the economy..."
2008-05-02 19:25 < Leslie_S> zocky NICE
2008-05-02 19:25 < quanticle> So, did I miss any wikidrama?
2008-05-02 19:26 < Lucifer_Cat> 'sup?
2008-05-02 19:26 < Messedrocker> HOOROOH
2008-05-02 19:27 < Lucifer_Cat> I have stealed the ceiling cat.
2008-05-02 19:27 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Stealed, or steeled?
2008-05-02 19:27 < Demi> quanticle - did you get your memoserv?
2008-05-02 19:27 < quanticle> Demi: Yeah.
2008-05-02 19:27 < Lucifer_Cat> so basically, do hat you want, no ones watching
2008-05-02 19:27 < Lucifer_Cat> hey quanticle nice to have you back
2008-05-02 19:28 < Lucifer_Cat> hows your pardner
2008-05-02 19:29 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Better. Yeah, it kinda sucks to be an off-campus student... especially when some dumbass in a backhoe cuts through the local fiber line.
2008-05-02 19:30 < Lucifer_Cat> heh
2008-05-02 19:30 < quanticle> To be fair, Comcast did a pretty quick job getting new fiber spliced in.
2008-05-02 19:30 < Lucifer_Cat> EVIL
2008-05-02 19:30 < Lucifer_Cat> wait...

2008-05-02 19:42 < MessedRocker> nah, it's actually an airplane landing on a highway or something
2008-05-02 19:43 < Lucifer_Cat> its a plane landing.
2008-05-02 19:43 < Lucifer_Cat> muzzledRocker got it right
2008-05-02 19:43 < Lucifer_Cat> Sfan00: i didnt know anyone else would be paying attention, i linked it just for MuzzledRocker and quanticle
2008-05-02 19:44 < Sfan00> MessedRocker: Thats why I asked, because certain things aren't legal in the UK
2008-05-02 19:44 < MessedRocker> footage of airplanes is illegal in the UK
2008-05-02 19:44 < MessedRocker> i think you should turn your chair around, cover your ears, and begin humming
2008-05-02 19:45 * Sfan00 chnats "I Love Big Brother!" in rythmic unison

2008-05-02 19:47 < MessedRocker> MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN!
2008-05-02 19:47 < zocky> apparently, cybill wasn't the american version of AbFab, according to the article talk page
2008-05-02 19:47 < Sfan00> Lucifer_Cat: It's polite to let people know what mateiral is
2008-05-02 19:47 < Sfan00> zocky: It wasn't
2008-05-02 19:48 < zocky> if it wasn't the american version, then it was a rip-off
2008-05-02 19:48 < Sfan00> It wasn't that either
2008-05-02 19:48 < zocky> or did it just happen to have all the same characters?
2008-05-02 19:48 < Lucifer_Cat> Sfan00: i usually do.
2008-05-02 19:48 < Sfan00> It was it's own show if it's the one I think it is
2008-05-02 19:48 < Lucifer_Cat> i missed it that one time.
2008-05-02 19:48 < Demi> maybe, though cybill sheperd and... someone, were going to do an actual american abfab
2008-05-02 19:48 < Lucifer_Cat> and since you specifically asked me to... i didnt :P
2008-05-02 19:48 < Sfan00> Roseanne had AbFab Charcters in it though
2008-05-02 19:49 < Lucifer_Cat> Sfan00: its a mig 29 landing without landing gear before take off
2008-05-02 19:49 < Lucifer_Cat> zocky: lol you were looking for the perfect person for those Qs
2008-05-02 19:49 < Sfan00> Lucifer_cat: nasty
2008-05-02 19:50 < Lucifer_Cat> very.
2008-05-02 19:50 < Lucifer_Cat> im sure the Q would want to be off with your head if you were caught watching it
2008-05-02 19:51 < zocky> Sfan00, it did?
2008-05-02 19:51 < Sfan00> Yeah one of the very final episodes did, because I saw it ;)
2008-05-02 19:52 < zocky> dunno, but characters on cybill all looked like the characters from abfab dissolved in a lot of water
2008-05-02 19:55 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR5bDfD5XV8&NR=1 <--- schweizer luftwaffe
2008-05-02 19:56 < zocky> oh, switzerland has an airforce? I thought they have no air.
2008-05-02 19:56 < zocky> oh, wait, that was navy
2008-05-02 19:56 < Monobi> zocky, the swiss suck
2008-05-02 19:57 < Monobi> except for their chess
2008-05-02 19:57 < zocky> the swiss are good at chess?
2008-05-02 19:57 < Monobi> sure
2008-05-02 19:57 < zocky> sure you're not confusing them with russians or indians?
2008-05-02 19:57 < MessedRocker> or the chinese
2008-05-02 19:57 < Lucifer_Cat> he means cheese
2008-05-02 20:00 < zocky> "Ilich Ramírez Sánchez (born 12 October 1949) is a Venezuelan-born self-proclaimed leftist revolutionary."
2008-05-02 20:00 < zocky> are there officially confirmed leftist revolutionaries?
2008-05-02 20:01 < Leslie_S> anyone here ever drive a truck?
2008-05-02 20:02 < OMGItsTehWeasel> I think there's no Leftist Revolutionary licensing agencies.
2008-05-02 20:03 < Sfan00> Hi Weasel
2008-05-02 20:03 < OMGItsTehWeasel> Shalom.
2008-05-02 20:03 < Sfan00> Can you join the disscusion over in #wikimedia-radio
2008-05-02 20:03 < OMGItsTehWeasel> I'm about to go to bed, but I'll do that at the next time possible.
2008-05-02 20:03 < Sfan00> OK Thanks
2008-05-02 20:04 < Sfan00> Wait around If I am not there ;)
2008-05-02 20:04 < OMGItsTehWeasel> of course, only in the available time, which I don't yet know.
2008-05-02 20:05 < Sfan00> Of course

2008-05-02 20:38 < Lucifer_Cat> Cyrius: i laughed so loud
2008-05-02 20:38 < Cyrius> Lucifer_Cat: shaddap about Dire Straits, they're great
2008-05-02 20:39 < wba> yes they are
2008-05-02 20:39 < Lucifer_Cat> Cyrius: no doubt, but hes been listening to it all day

2008-05-02 20:40 < Mike_H> (again)
2008-05-02 20:40 < Monobi> Any good linux related games involving planes?
2008-05-02 20:41 < Lucifer_Cat> mike, what script is it that does that?
2008-05-02 20:42 < Lucifer_Cat> Monobi: Olympia Geometrica.
2008-05-02 20:43 < Monobi> :?
2008-05-02 20:44 < Lucifer_Cat> linux related game involving planes
2008-05-02 20:44 < Monobi> Ok
2008-05-02 20:49 < Werdna> lol.
2008-05-02 20:49 < Werdna> DYK... ... that male prostitutes in Pakistan generally range from fifteen to twenty-five years of age?
2008-05-02 20:50 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Huh. Were those Mirage 2000s at the beginning of that clip?
2008-05-02 20:50 < quanticle> Werdna: No I didn't. Now, after I take PEDO 1125, I know where to go to apply my skills.
2008-05-02 20:51 < quanticle> Werdna: And PEDO = Pediatric Dentistry at my school...
2008-05-02 20:51 < FastLizard4> quanticle: XD
2008-05-02 20:51 < Werdna> o_O
2008-05-02 20:51 < quanticle> Werdna: If only I'd seen it earlier! I could have got a degree in PEDO!
2008-05-02 20:52 < Sfan00> Hi Werdna
2008-05-02 20:52 < Gracenotes> Werdna: no complaints for that item yet...
2008-05-02 20:52 < Werdna> aand from the WP:BRFA archives - This bot will scan thought wikipedia to see if there are any words that are commonly missed spelled and will correct the the spelling error.The bot will run of a word list that is commonly missed spelled words.
2008-05-02 20:52 < Sfan00> I know you said the Wikicast backups were gone
2008-05-02 20:52 < Sfan00> Is that a definite, wiped ?
2008-05-02 20:53 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Olympia Geometrica? Google's not helping me here. Care to post a link?
2008-05-02 20:54 < quanticle> Werdna: Huh. I don't know about that as a concept. What if there's a bug and the bot goes wild?
2008-05-02 20:54 < Werdna> quanticle: was denied
2008-05-02 20:55 < quanticle> Werdna: Good thing, that.
2008-05-02 20:55 < Messedrocker> Werdna what is the MediaWiki dev community's stance on Asynchronoux XML and JavaScript?
2008-05-02 20:55 < Messedrocker> Asynchronous*
2008-05-02 20:56 < Werdna> you mean AXAJ?
2008-05-02 20:56 < Werdna> well, depends. What do you want AJAXed?
2008-05-02 20:56 < Messedrocker> what is MW's stance on it?
2008-05-02 20:56 < Messedrocker> is it a good thing?
2008-05-02 20:56 < Messedrocker> is it not worth delving into?
2008-05-02 20:56 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Why don't you ask on #mediawiki and get it straight from the horse's mouth, as it were?
2008-05-02 20:56 < Messedrocker> Werdna's is one of the horses' many mouths
2008-05-02 20:57 < Werdna> heh, #wikimedia-tech is a bit hectic
2008-05-02 20:57 < Mike_H> We're the sultans
2008-05-02 20:57 * Mike_H plays guitar doo doo doo doo
2008-05-02 20:57 < Werdna> they're enabling FlaggedRevs on de.wp
2008-05-02 20:57 < Mike_H> We're the sultans of swing
2008-05-02 20:57 < Mike_H> doo doo doo
2008-05-02 20:57 < Mike_H> doo doo doo doo
2008-05-02 20:57 < Messedrocker> hmm
2008-05-02 20:57 < Mike_H> doo doo doo!
2008-05-02 20:57 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Personally (not speaking for any dev. community) I dislike AJAX. I distrust any programming paradigm where you don't get to control your compiler/interpreter.
2008-05-02 20:57 * Messedrocker goes off to listen to that song
2008-05-02 20:57 < Messedrocker> haven't listened to it since 1/22!
2008-05-02 20:58 < Werdna> anyway, we use it a bit. If somebody writes a patch that uses it usefully, that doesn't kill performance, and that falls back to something nice if the user doesn't have AJAX, then we've got no problem with it just because it uses AJAX
2008-05-02 20:58 < Messedrocker> are you seeking to have stuff converted into AJAX?
2008-05-02 20:59 < Gracenotes> most of the useful wiki applications nowadays use Ajax...
2008-05-02 20:59 < quanticle> Werdna: Heh. That is the tricky thing about AJAX. Its hellish on browsers that don't support JavaScript, and, thus present a pretty huge accessibility issues, since many screen readers don't have a clue as to what to do with interactive elements.
2008-05-02 20:59 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Really? Which ones?
2008-05-02 21:00 < Werdna> Messedrocker: not seeking, but if you find a good use for it, we don't mind looking at patches
2008-05-02 21:00 < Lycurgus> isn't the autocomplete AJAX?
2008-05-02 21:00 < quanticle> Gracenotes: One of the nice things about Wikipedia is that it *hasn't* gone all "Web 2.0" and made everything a shiny, flashy, godawfully slow script.
2008-05-02 21:01 * quanticle hates the new Slashdot messaging system
2008-05-02 21:01 < Gracenotes> well... popups, twinkle, friendly, hotcat, autocomplete, wiked...
2008-05-02 21:01 * quanticle hates Digg, and all it stands for
2008-05-02 21:01 < Gracenotes> quanticle: Slashdot is now markedly more sluggish
2008-05-02 21:01 < Gracenotes> if not more interactive
2008-05-02 21:01 < quanticle> Gracenotes: They're hardly the most useful thing about WP. The most useful things are the articles, of course.
2008-05-02 21:02 < Gracenotes> I didn't say they were the most useful things about WP :_
2008-05-02 21:02 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Heh. The first thing I did was turn off the new messaging system.
2008-05-02 21:02 < Gracenotes> "most of the useful wiki applications"
2008-05-02 21:02 * Mike_H pets Gracenotes
2008-05-02 21:02 * Gracenotes purrs
2008-05-02 21:02 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Ah. Didn't catch the distinction.
2008-05-02 21:03 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Even then, I'd rather go with a "pure" client/server application like Huggle than with something AJAX based.
2008-05-02 21:03 < Gracenotes> as somewhat of a web-developer-type, Ajax to me just means XMLHttpRequest. Not the Web 2.0 magic that goes with it.

2008-05-02 21:03 < hardtodrink> guess i got a bit carried away lol
2008-05-02 21:04 < quanticle> Gracenotes: I still sorta do web development, in the sense that I do server-side JSP and Java programming. Don't have much to with AJAX, though.
2008-05-02 21:04 < Gracenotes> quanticle: well, yes, Thunderbird is better than the Gmail browser application. But the latter is more convenient, can be accessed easily from multiple places, etc...
2008-05-02 21:05 < quanticle> Gracenotes: True, but, with AJAX, Google is the exception that proves the rule. Their applications work so well across all browser/OS platforms, whereas many other don't.
2008-05-02 21:06 < Gracenotes> being able to use a dynamic language for client-server communication is also a plus of AJAX
2008-05-02 21:06 < Messedrocker> quanticle, they prove the rule by setting the standard for good software?
2008-05-02 21:07 < hardtodrink> quanticle!
2008-05-02 21:07 < Gracenotes> well not to mention bloated.
2008-05-02 21:07 < quanticle> Messedrocker: The efforts that Google goes through to ensure cross-platform compatibility show how difficult it it to get AJAX right.
2008-05-02 21:07 < Messedrocker> how hatd is it to make it cross platform?
2008-05-02 21:07 * quanticle drinks hardtodrink
2008-05-02 21:08 < hardtodrink> :o
2008-05-02 21:08 < quanticle> Eugh! That tasted like bad tap water!
2008-05-02 21:08 < hardtodrink> you cannot drink hardtodrink!
2008-05-02 21:08 < hardtodrink> lol
2008-05-02 21:08 < hardtodrink> it IS bad tap water
2008-05-02 21:08 < Gracenotes> Messedrocker: if you make a common methodology for doing so (like a wrapper), not so hard.
2008-05-02 21:09 < Gracenotes> if you have cross-browser fixes every couple of lines of code, then it gets to be more difficult
2008-05-02 21:09 < Messedrocker> When will Wikipedia meetups stop being about Wikimedia NYC?
2008-05-02 21:09 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Well, I don't know, exactly, since I don't do a lot of AJAX, but all I know that IE7 breaks a lot of AJAX that works just fine on Firefox, and vice-versa.
2008-05-02 21:09 < Gracenotes> once one has a wrapper the most annoying bugs involve IE.
2008-05-02 21:09 * Messedrocker credits WM-NY for getting him interested in Columbia University
2008-05-02 21:09 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Supposedly Google Web Toolkit fixes a lot of the cross-browser issues, but I'm just getting started learning with that.
2008-05-02 21:10 < Messedrocker> or just have your website ban Internet Explorer
2008-05-02 21:10 < Gracenotes> exactly.
2008-05-02 21:10 < Messedrocker> but only DOUCHEBAG WEBSITES ban browsers for not being compliant with their fancy bloatware
2008-05-02 21:10 < Gracenotes> discrimination via User-Agent
2008-05-02 21:10 < Messedrocker> browser ought not to matter
2008-05-02 21:10 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Banning IE is fine as long as you don't want to make any money.
2008-05-02 21:10 < Demi> Gracenotes - and, you don't have to choose, since you can access your gmail inboxes via thunderbird (or whatever) if you like
2008-05-02 21:10 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Banning 90+% of users isn't really a good idea most of the time.
2008-05-02 21:10 * Messedrocker remembers the time Veropedia briefly banned Safari
2008-05-02 21:10 < Gracenotes> Demi: yes. Where Thunderbird is installed.
2008-05-02 21:11 < Gracenotes> or, let's start with "installable" :)
2008-05-02 21:11 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Get Portable Thunderbird and carry it around on a thumb drive.
2008-05-02 21:11 < Demi> Gracenotes - right, so it's maximally convenient all the way around
2008-05-02 21:11 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Portable Firefox is nice to have as well, but not as vital, since most machines have a browser.
2008-05-02 21:12 < Mike5> semiprotection? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Venus_Flytrap&curid=310678&action=history
2008-05-02 21:12 < Gracenotes> carrying around an app is still inconvenient, and doesn't always work
2008-05-02 21:12 < Gracenotes> quanticle: 80%
2008-05-02 21:13 < quanticle> Gracenotes: 80%? Why only 80%?
2008-05-02 21:14 < Gracenotes> about the number of hits from those who use non-IE browsers, and it's likely a lower-bound...
2008-05-02 21:15 < Gracenotes> this was according to w3 statistics of which I don't recall the location.
2008-05-02 21:17 * Gracenotes prepares cereal with a sliced banana
2008-05-02 21:18 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Was this the hits for a wide variety of websites? Otherwise you're running into selection bias, since tech-heavy websites tend to have more Firefox users.
2008-05-02 21:20 < OMGItsTehWeasel> Spot the Stalin! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/Bolshevik-meeting.jpg
2008-05-02 21:21 < Demi> no IE user changes their user agent string
2008-05-02 21:22 < OMGItsTehWeasel> (second from left on the long side, next to Bukharin
2008-05-02 21:22 < Gracenotes> quanticle: yes, it was aggregated from various websites. I'd think w3 would take the skewed audience of certain websites into account -- though, optimism has no place in statistics :|
2008-05-02 21:25 < Gracenotes> the cut-off limit in IRC can't lead to any good overflow exploits, can it?
2008-05-02 21:25 * Gracenotes can't think of any
2008-05-02 21:26 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Well, I suppose you could get some kind of buffer overflow against the server, but that's one of those thing that's sure to have been patched by now.
2008-05-02 21:26 < quanticle> *things
2008-05-02 21:27 < quanticle> Demi: Does IE even allow you to change the user-agent?
2008-05-02 21:27 < quanticle> Of the browsers I know, only Safari and Opera allow you to alter your user-agent without any add-ons.
2008-05-02 21:27 < quanticle> Firefox requires a plugin, IIRC.
2008-05-02 21:27 < bumm13> quanticle: IE itself probably doesn't
2008-05-02 21:28 < quanticle> And IE, well, I'm not sure IE allows you to do it at all.
2008-05-02 21:28 < FastLizard4> quanticle: Not anymore
2008-05-02 21:28 < Gracenotes> both IE and Firefox have extensions to do it
2008-05-02 21:28 < bumm13> Maxthon does, IIRC (MSHTML-based IE browser)
2008-05-02 21:28 < gwern> 'God talks to me. The world will have to burn. I don't question Him.'

2008-05-02 21:28 < quanticle> bumm13: Hmmm. Does Maxthon support IE7?
2008-05-02 21:29 < bumm13> in what sense?
2008-05-02 21:38 < Messedrocker> st. peter rabbit
2008-05-02 21:38 < bumm13> quanticle: it appears to be compatible with IE6, so I guess no
2008-05-02 21:39 < Messedrocker> koopa cape has some great music
2008-05-02 21:39 * Messedrocker wishes macs had some analog to alt commands in windows
2008-05-02 21:40 < Messedrocker> there are people who rave that the rainbow road song in mario kart wii is THE BEST EVERRRRRRR
2008-05-02 21:40 < Messedrocker> i sustain my argument that the mkdd one is better
2008-05-02 21:41 < Messedrocker> there ought to be a .structure TLD
2008-05-02 21:41 < Messedrocker> so i could register the name "lewis.structure"
2008-05-02 21:44 < Messedrocker> there once was a ronald paul
2008-05-02 21:44 < Messedrocker> who had the audacity and gall
2008-05-02 21:44 < Messedrocker> and the strength on his backs
2008-05-02 21:44 < Messedrocker> to get rid of the tax
2008-05-02 21:44 < Messedrocker> and for this his popularity FALL
2008-05-02 21:46 * Gracenotes needs to perform a cost-benefit analysis of leeching a website my school pays for...
2008-05-02 21:46 < Messedrocker> one-time bandwidth expenditure for downloading the website
2008-05-02 21:46 < Messedrocker> vs. perpetual subscription to the website
2008-05-02 21:47 < Gracenotes> it's for the upcoming AP exam. Offline access for studying vocab vs. complete inability to use the website due to TOS violation
2008-05-02 21:47 < Messedrocker> ahhh, AP EXAM!
2008-05-02 21:47 < Messedrocker> i know some people who are taking that next week
2008-05-02 21:47 < Messedrocker> in fact, my sister is
2008-05-02 21:47 < Messedrocker> next year, i will be taking two AP exams
2008-05-02 21:47 * Gracenotes is taking two next week, and two the week after that
2008-05-02 21:48 < Messedrocker> you're in four AP classes?
2008-05-02 21:48 < Messedrocker> you academic bastard! are you going to princeton?
2008-05-02 21:48 < Gracenotes> mm hm
2008-05-02 21:48 * Messedrocker wants to go to Columbia University
2008-05-02 21:48 < Gracenotes> Messedrocker: well, it's a fair amount, I suppose... some people I know are taking 7 this year, not including 2-3 last year
2008-05-02 21:49 < Messedrocker> my school has a recommended limit of 2 per year
2008-05-02 21:49 < Gracenotes> Messedrocker: going to Stonybrook. You're likely far more familiar with Long Island than I am.
2008-05-02 21:49 < Messedrocker> and i had no interest in going beyond that limit, even though i was recommended for 3 AP classes
2008-05-02 21:49 < bumm13> quanticle: still here?
2008-05-02 21:49 < Messedrocker> Gracenotes, I've been to Long Island several times but no I am much more familiar with Manhattan
2008-05-02 21:49 < Gracenotes> several times? More familiar than I am, then :)
2008-05-02 21:49 < Messedrocker> last marking period, i had a C, a B, and the rest A's
2008-05-02 21:50 < Messedrocker> Gracenotes, Long Island is bigger than Manhattan, and I've only visited the same place over and over
2008-05-02 21:50 < bumm13> bigger in area
2008-05-02 21:50 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: are you of italian descent?
2008-05-02 21:50 < bumm13> (with "Long Island" meaning "east of Queens", I assume)
2008-05-02 21:50 < Gracenotes> week 1: Tuesday AP Comp Sci, Thursday AP English literate. week 2: Monday AP Biology, Thursday AP World History
2008-05-02 21:50 < Messedrocker> Lucifer_Cat, yes
2008-05-02 21:50 < Messedrocker> via my mother
2008-05-02 21:50 < Lucifer_Cat> heh, thought so.
2008-05-02 21:51 < Messedrocker> my mom's dad was an italian jeweler
2008-05-02 21:51 < Messedrocker> (then he retired)
2008-05-02 21:51 < Gracenotes> this is not only the chronological order, but approximately the order in which I think I'm going to pass them
2008-05-02 21:51 < Gracenotes> i.e. most likely to least likely
2008-05-02 21:51 < Messedrocker> in my senior year i want to take AP Euro
2008-05-02 21:51 < Messedrocker> not because I REALLY LIKE how it starts with the middle ages instead of the antiquity
2008-05-02 21:51 < Messedrocker> (read: i don't like that at all)
2008-05-02 21:51 < Gracenotes> does your high school offer trips to Europe as part of it?
2008-05-02 21:51 < Messedrocker> but because my favoritest teacher teaches it
2008-05-02 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> AP = ?
2008-05-02 21:52 < Messedrocker> Gracenotes, no
2008-05-02 21:52 < Messedrocker> Lucifer_Cat, Advanced Placement
2008-05-02 21:52 < Messedrocker> you can get college credit for passing the AP exam
2008-05-02 21:52 < Messedrocker> it is a standardized course offered by the College Board
2008-05-02 21:52 < bumm13> yep
2008-05-02 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> hmmm
2008-05-02 21:52 < Messedrocker> which also conducts the SAT
2008-05-02 21:52 < Gracenotes> Messedrocker: eh, no one likes the post-classical era. So boring :|
2008-05-02 21:52 < Messedrocker> and the ACT
2008-05-02 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> ACT = ?
2008-05-02 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> popcorn?
2008-05-02 21:52 < Messedrocker> it's an exam
2008-05-02 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> boring :D
2008-05-02 21:52 < bumm13> "AC" Test ;)
2008-05-02 21:53 < Lucifer_Cat> Advanced Citation Test?
2008-05-02 21:53 < Messedrocker> is "the ACT test" an example of RAS Syndrome? :P
2008-05-02 21:53 < Messedrocker> (yes it is)
2008-05-02 21:53 < StayTuned> Citations are important
2008-05-02 21:53 < Gracenotes> Messedrocker gets extra points for mentioning RAS syndrome
2008-05-02 21:53 < Lucifer_Cat> Repetitive Alliteration Syndrome?
2008-05-02 21:53 < bumm13> originally meant "American College Testing" Program
2008-05-02 21:53 < Messedrocker> Lucifer_Cat, Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome
2008-05-02 21:53 < Gracenotes> no RAS syndrome jokes are actually funny
2008-05-02 21:54 < Messedrocker> it's when you say things like "HIV virus" even though the "V" in "HIV" stands for "Virus"
2008-05-02 21:54 < Gracenotes> but mentioning them provides that you are a person of wit and, uh, learnedness
2008-05-02 21:54 < Lucifer_Cat> Gracenotes: lol
2008-05-02 21:54 < bumm13> and pedantry!
2008-05-02 21:54 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: i very well know that. just look at the suggestion i offered
2008-05-02 21:54 < Looooooooong_Cat> feel free: irc://lolwtf.ath.cx/lobby
2008-05-02 21:54 < Messedrocker> the phrase "RAS Syndrome" itself is an example of RAS Syndrome
2008-05-02 21:54 < bumm13> (which attracts all the hot chicks, of course)
2008-05-02 21:54 < Messedrocker> no bumm13, penises do
2008-05-02 21:55 < Lucifer_Cat> Repetitive Alliteration Syndrome <--- that think smacks of redundancy
2008-05-02 21:55 < bumm13> Messedrocker: I hope you're joking
2008-05-02 21:55 < Messedrocker> sure why not
2008-05-02 21:55 < Lucifer_Cat> Shorty: aint connectin

2008-05-02 21:55 < Messedrocker> hot chicks are attracted to stupid things
2008-05-02 21:56 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: like cars bought of dads money for example
2008-05-02 21:56 < Messedrocker> beh, my parents aren't going to buy me a car
2008-05-02 21:56 < Messedrocker> and thank goodness, they've enriched me enough
2008-05-02 21:56 < Messedrocker> i don't need them to buy a car
2008-05-02 21:56 < Messedrocker> we need no more cars
2008-05-02 21:57 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: i was giving an example of the stupid things girls are attracted to
2008-05-02 21:57 < Lucifer_Cat> *hot ones
2008-05-02 21:57 < Messedrocker> yes, and i responded with a rant
2008-05-02 21:57 < Gracenotes> TORTOISES ARE REALY INTRESTING ONCE YOU GET KNOW THEM OR SEE THEM.THE MOST INTRESTING PART IS THAT THEY DIG REALY FAR THAT THEY CAN DIG TO CHINA TO ALASKA.THAT WOULD BE COOL.

2008-05-02 22:02 < Lucifer_Cat> i couldnt agree more
2008-05-02 22:02 < Lucifer_Cat> except that i would agree in a more polite manner
2008-05-02 22:02 < Gracenotes> we can completely eliminate complaints (at least from straight males) by replacing it with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Michele_Merkin_1.jpg
2008-05-02 22:04 < Lucifer_Cat> Gracenotes: fuggable, but not main page material
2008-05-02 22:04 < Lucifer_Cat> find something cuter
2008-05-02 22:05 < Gracenotes> on alternating days we could replace it with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Erotic_same_sex_couple-BDSM_soft.jpg
2008-05-02 22:05 < Gracenotes> nothing makes more people go "awwwww" than gay BDSM
2008-05-02 22:05 < Lucifer_Cat> Gracenotes: straight males+lesbians are what? 80% of our base?
2008-05-02 22:05 < Gracenotes> I'm not sure
2008-05-02 22:05 < Lucifer_Cat> awwww or ewwww ?

2008-05-02 22:15 < Leslie_S> and that says a LOT.

2008-05-02 22:17 < Leslie_S> most wikipedians are gay males. next to them is furries.

2008-05-02 22:17 < Leslie_S> I'd tell you, but a furry will very very quickly start yelling at me if i do, because it'll be partially wrong.
2008-05-02 22:17 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker I classify myself as bisexual, transexual, and female.
2008-05-02 22:18 < Lucifer_Cat> like you ever cared about stuff like that

2008-05-02 22:19 < Leslie_S> Lucifer_Cat and its a specific animal, like there used to be a furrywolf that used my irc network. I told him to fuck off and he left though. He pissed me off a LOT.
2008-05-02 22:19 < Lucifer_Cat> MEOW!!!
2008-05-02 22:19 < Looooooooong_Cat> oh
2008-05-02 22:19 < Looooooooong_Cat> speaking of animals
2008-05-02 22:19 < Looooooooong_Cat> the Granby Zoo got a new animal
2008-05-02 22:19 < Leslie_S> he bitched at me once for not being on irc much, when i was HOMELESS. i was lucky enough to have the internet!
2008-05-02 22:19 < Looooooooong_Cat> a lion cub
2008-05-02 22:20 * Lucifer_Cat has a good mind to claw Leslie_S for being such a narrowminded conservative
2008-05-02 22:20 < Leslie_S> he also often yelled at me for dissapearing without saying anything.
2008-05-02 22:20 < Leslie_S> Lucifer_Cat and infact, arent you a furry?
2008-05-02 22:20 < Lucifer_Cat> meow :(
2008-05-02 22:20 < Leslie_S> Lucifer_Cat theres nothing wrong with that, i like furries. theyre usually quite interesting people in general.
2008-05-02 22:20 * Lucifer_Cat purrs sadly
2008-05-02 22:21 < Leslie_S> I could almost be a furry.
2008-05-02 22:21 < Malinaccier> Good comment to enter on
2008-05-02 22:21 < Looooooooong_Cat> yiff in hell :P
2008-05-02 22:21 < Lucifer_Cat> Leslie_S: you are confused enough already. you wanting to be a furry will only confuse the rest of us more
2008-05-02 22:21 < Leslie_S> Lucifer_Cat i dont want to be a furry.
2008-05-02 22:21 < Leslie_S> and im not confused, other than with being bisexual.
2008-05-02 22:21 < Lucifer_Cat> thank God. if you believe in Her.
2008-05-02 22:21 < Looooooooong_Cat> <== is gay
2008-05-02 22:22 < Leslie_S> im actually almost totally straight
2008-05-02 22:22 < Lucifer_Cat> i know that Looooooooong_Cat
2008-05-02 22:22 < Lucifer_Cat> you are totally gay
2008-05-02 22:22 < Looooooooong_Cat> i like sucking on AfterDea1h's cock
2008-05-02 22:22 < Leslie_S> but i like looking at girls, and often comment on their appearance, so id have people being like "Oh, so hes not really gay!"
2008-05-02 22:22 < bumm13> ...
2008-05-02 22:22 < Lucifer_Cat> Looooooooong_Cat that is, not Leslie_S
2008-05-02 22:22 < quanticle> Oh god damn. I leave for a couple of hours, and we're talking furries... >:(
2008-05-02 22:22 < Leslie_S> but i have zero interest in a relationship with one.
2008-05-02 22:22 < bumm13> enough of that sort of talk
2008-05-02 22:22 < Gracenotes> Leslie_S: not many bisexuals do admit the whole "confused" angle...
2008-05-02 22:22 < Looooooooong_Cat> this chat has been logged :D
2008-05-02 22:22 < Messedrocker> Leslie_S, gay men comment on girls' appearances all ze time
2008-05-02 22:22 < Leslie_S> Gracenotes i dont think most bisexuals are confused.
2008-05-02 22:23 * Lucifer_Cat purrs happily at seeing quantickle
2008-05-02 22:23 < Looooooooong_Cat> like
2008-05-02 22:23 * bumm13 kicks Looooooooong_Cat
2008-05-02 22:23 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker like "oh, shes really hot..."

2008-05-02 22:23 < Looooooooong_Cat> i ran into a girl i know
2008-05-02 22:23 < Looooooooong_Cat> one of my best friends
2008-05-02 22:23 < quanticle> Looooooooong_Cat: And she turned out to be bi?
2008-05-02 22:23 < Leslie_S> Gracenotes im sure its possible for bi people to not be confused at all. but its weird how i love looking at girls like this, but have no interest in being with them... ;/
2008-05-02 22:23 < Gracenotes> Leslie_S: not saying they are, but in terms of self-identification...
2008-05-02 22:23 < Lucifer_Cat> wow the chat just exploded at the very mention of furries
2008-05-02 22:23 < Looooooooong_Cat> she's a professional model btw
2008-05-02 22:23 < Messedrocker> Leslie_S, i can imagine a gay man saying that about a girl, but of course he'll have no sexual interest in her
2008-05-02 22:23 < Lucifer_Cat> shouldnt have asked what it means
2008-05-02 22:23 < Looooooooong_Cat> nah, we airkissed a lot
2008-05-02 22:24 < bumm13> quanticle: (about Maxthon) 2.x version are compatible with the IE7 rendering engine
2008-05-02 22:24 < Looooooooong_Cat> and i bought her a smoothie
2008-05-02 22:24 < quanticle> bumm13: Ah. Ok.
2008-05-02 22:24 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker but i do have a little of a sexual interest with her.
2008-05-02 22:24 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker to be honest, i might even screw one after SRS.
2008-05-02 22:24 < quanticle> Loooooooooong_Cat: Smoothies are good.
2008-05-02 22:24 < Leslie_S> but im not interested in using my dick, so whats the point now?
2008-05-02 22:24 < bumm13> and 2.x versions can import scripts to do things like spoof user agents
2008-05-02 22:25 < Gracenotes> ew, smoothie.
2008-05-02 22:25 * quanticle is trying to wean himself off tab complete to force himself to type faster and more accurately.
2008-05-02 22:25 < Lucifer_Cat> Looooooooong_Cat: too bad ure gay... can i have her?
2008-05-02 22:25 < Gracenotes> I've had a recent bad experience involving smoothies.
2008-05-02 22:25 < Messedrocker> i wish i could command womans to have sex with me :(
2008-05-02 22:25 < quanticle> Looooooooong_Cat's nickname is making my efforts more difficult.
2008-05-02 22:25 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: you sure can command them
2008-05-02 22:25 < Lucifer_Cat> just that the consequences wont be pretty
2008-05-02 22:25 < Rinn> I'm going to set out to make "rivet" an acceptable synonym for sex.
2008-05-02 22:25 < Gracenotes> perhaps Messedrocker forgot the "sudo"
2008-05-02 22:26 < Looooooooong_Cat> quanticle, she's engagef
2008-05-02 22:26 < Looooooooong_Cat> engaged

2008-05-02 22:26 < Looooooooong_Cat> to a hot guy btw
2008-05-02 22:26 < Rinn> On the basis that "nail" and "screw" are already there.
2008-05-02 22:26 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Well, he can issue the command, but can he handle the thrown exceptions?
2008-05-02 22:26 < Lucifer_Cat> isnt that like masturbation
2008-05-02 22:26 < quanticle> Rinn: Wait, "rivet" isn't a euphimism for sex already?
2008-05-02 22:26 < quanticle> Rinn: Also, what about bolt?
2008-05-02 22:26 < Rinn> It is?
2008-05-02 22:27 < Rinn> I'll have to make bolt one too.
2008-05-02 22:27 < Lucifer_Cat> Looooooooong_Cat: i dont care if shes engaged as long as shes hot
2008-05-02 22:27 < Gracenotes> http://urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rivet

2008-05-02 22:28 * Gracenotes has no idea what happened to his latency
2008-05-02 22:28 < Gracenotes> I think my ISP hates me :(
2008-05-02 22:29 < quanticle> Looooooooong_Cat: That sounds vaguely... pr0nnish...

2008-05-02 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> lol quanticle i was about to say the same
2008-05-02 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> she looks the kind
2008-05-02 22:30 < Looooooooong_Cat> she doesn't purge at all
2008-05-02 22:30 < Messedrocker> there's a boy in my school named Dakota Star

2008-05-02 22:30 < Mahlzahn> * yawwwwn *
2008-05-02 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> shave?
2008-05-02 22:30 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Ugh. What the hell were his parents thinking?
2008-05-02 22:30 * Lucifer_Cat offers Mahlzahn some coffee
2008-05-02 22:30 < Messedrocker> He also looks kinda androgynous
2008-05-02 22:30 < Rinn> I knew a girl named Star.
2008-05-02 22:30 < quanticle> Rinn: First or last name?
2008-05-02 22:31 * Mahlzahn accepts gratefully
2008-05-02 22:31 < Rinn> First.
2008-05-02 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: prolly the same thing that Fannings parents are thinking
2008-05-02 22:31 < quanticle> Rinn: Or rather given name, or family name.
2008-05-02 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> were
2008-05-02 22:31 < Monobi> http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=3889
2008-05-02 22:31 < Monobi> :(
2008-05-02 22:31 < Rinn> Well, she was a coworker. She introduced herself as Star and that was the name she had on her badge.
2008-05-02 22:32 < Lucifer_Cat> Monobi: hope it passes
2008-05-02 22:32 < Monobi> http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=3899
2008-05-02 22:32 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Dakota is a girl's name though. I've never heard of a *guy* called something as vaguely feminine as Dakota...
2008-05-02 22:32 < Monobi> Lucifer_Cat, I hope it gets beat to death with a nuclear bomb
2008-05-02 22:32 < Rinn> quanticle: I've known two guys named Dakota.
2008-05-02 22:32 < Monobi> quanticle, I know a guy named Dakota
2008-05-02 22:32 < Rinn> I thought it was a primarily male name.
2008-05-02 22:32 < Mahlzahn> me too
2008-05-02 22:32 < Lubaf> If I were in charge, I'd fine any person who uses percentages as a measure of growth.
2008-05-02 22:32 < Gracenotes> speaking of legislation, the US genetic discrimination bill passed.
2008-05-02 22:33 < quanticle> Monobi: Yeah. I don't like that law at all. Its waaaaay too vague on what sort of thing could get you in trouble with it.
2008-05-02 22:33 < Mahlzahn> I'd also fine any person who counts Wikipedia edits
2008-05-02 22:33 < Monobi> Mahlzahn, haha
2008-05-02 22:33 < Monobi> quanticle, I don't like most laws :(
2008-05-02 22:33 < Looooooooong_Cat> I know a guy named ashley
2008-05-02 22:33 < Messedrocker> No one should bear the first name "Dakota". Not only is it the name of two states, but it's the name of two very boring states.
2008-05-02 22:33 < Monobi> Looooooooong_Cat, me too
2008-05-02 22:34 < uberpenguin> not as boring as Wyoming or Montana
2008-05-02 22:34 < Gracenotes> I know a guy named Ashley... except he lived in the 1800s and fought in the Civil War
2008-05-02 22:34 < Monobi> Messedrocker, have you been to South Dakota ?
2008-05-02 22:34 < Messedrocker> no
2008-05-02 22:34 < Monobi> uberpenguin, they are not boring
2008-05-02 22:34 < Monobi> Messedrocker, well, they aren't boring
2008-05-02 22:34 < uberpenguin> Wyoming: The WHY State
2008-05-02 22:34 < Monobi> North Dakota is boring
2008-05-02 22:34 < quanticle> Monobi: Well, to be honest, I don't mind laws, as long as they're well defined and enforceable. This isn't well defined.
2008-05-02 22:34 < uberpenguin> dude, all that's there is cattle and Yellowstone
2008-05-02 22:34 < Messedrocker> Monobi my dad has lived in north dakota, he can tell you how boring it is
2008-05-02 22:34 < Monobi> South Dakota doesn't
2008-05-02 22:34 < uberpenguin> yellowstone is nice, don't get me wrong, but that's all they have
2008-05-02 22:34 < Monobi> *South Dakota isn't boring
2008-05-02 22:34 < Monobi> Messedrocker, oh, ND sucks
2008-05-02 22:34 < Monobi> SD is fine though
2008-05-02 22:34 < Messedrocker> from 1969 to 1972 i think
2008-05-02 22:34 < quanticle> uberpenguin: ND doesn't have Yellowstone. That's in Wyoming/Montana.
