2008-05-03 02:00 < denelson83> authoritarianism is even worse
2008-05-03 02:00 * denelson83 is listening to "Bruce Springsteen - Radio Nowhere" (3:19 - 192kbps - 44kHz - Stereo)
2008-05-03 02:01 < denelson83> I'd rather not be a slave, thank you very much!
2008-05-03 02:01 < yao_ziyua1> my words don't sound decent, but they're true
2008-05-03 02:02 < denelson83> No, they don't sound decent

2008-05-03 02:06 < denelson83> yao_ziyua1: No idea what that metaphor "new Japan" is supposed to mean
2008-05-03 02:07 < yao_ziyua1> means free and prosperous
2008-05-03 02:08 < yao_ziyua1> i wonder,
2008-05-03 02:08 < yao_ziyua1> if iraq's oil income now goes to its people
2008-05-03 02:09 < denelson83> Iraq's people don't see a cent of that income
2008-05-03 02:10 < denelson83> It all goes to the fascist Big Oil companies
2008-05-03 02:10 < yao_ziyua1> ...
2008-05-03 02:10 < yao_ziyua1> can't believe this

2008-05-03 02:20 < yao_ziyua1> no
2008-05-03 02:20 * Lady_Aleena flows in the currents.
2008-05-03 02:20 < denelson83> Well, I tried

2008-05-03 02:45 < Lucifer_Cat> CatServ`: do you get more armies if you hold back and check in more cards?
2008-05-03 02:45 < CatServ`> Lucifer_Cat: I think so

2008-05-03 03:07 < Lucifer_Cat> later
2008-05-03 03:07 < Lady_Aleena> Does anyone here do any work with globalization issues, specifically adding templates to prompt globalization? I am trying to decide whether to keep a proposed new globalize template in my user space or just get it deleted.
2008-05-03 03:07 * Lucifer_Cat huggles Lady_Aleena .... good night

2008-05-03 04:03 < Hildanknight> Did you know...that it is time to update Did You Know?
2008-05-03 04:06 < Lady_Aleena> No, I did not.
2008-05-03 04:22 < Lady_Aleena> Is there anyone here who knows anything about this Japanese stuff that is littering the film series list?
2008-05-03 05:20 < Hildanknight> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation_Police
2008-05-03 05:20 < Hildanknight> How could this article be rated A-Class??
2008-05-03 05:24 < Aqwis> a-class = random
2008-05-03 05:27 < The359> it's an arbitrary ranking
2008-05-03 05:30 < cimon> Anyone else not getting pages served?
2008-05-03 05:32 < ThatGuyThatShow> yeah
2008-05-03 05:33 < ThatGuyThatShow> it's not just wikipedia though, about half of web sites i'm trying to reach aren't responding
2008-05-03 05:34 < cimon> hmm
2008-05-03 05:36 < ThatGuyThatShow> i can't get yahoo or google but on a whim i tried ebay, that's fine but i'm kinda broke right now
2008-05-03 05:37 * Mike_H plays a song for cimon and ThatGuyThatShow
2008-05-03 05:37 * Mike_H NP: Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing (1979)
2008-05-03 05:39 < ThatGuyThatShow> well that wasn't cool
2008-05-03 05:39 < Lycurgus> * Mike_H: maybe time to give it a break? That's the 3rd time I've seen you announce that song.
2008-05-03 05:44 < Mike_H> Lycurgus: it's not my fault you've been here for eight hours straight
2008-05-03 05:48 < ta_bu_shi_da_yu> Hildanknight: there seems to be some problems with the wikisyntax on that
2008-05-03 05:49 < Hildanknight> Ta_bu_shi_da_yu: I see.
2008-05-03 05:49 < Lycurgus> well of course not straight
2008-05-03 05:49 < Hildanknight> Have you returned, non-big fish?
2008-05-03 05:51 < ta_bu_shi_da_yu> not really
2008-05-03 05:51 < ta_bu_shi_da_yu> I do wikignoming under user:tbsdy-lives
2008-05-03 05:51 * Warpath kills tbsdy
2008-05-03 05:52 * Hildanknight sues Warpath for murder.
2008-05-03 05:52 * Warpath hires Mike Godwin \o/
2008-05-03 05:52 < Hildanknight> Non-big fish: Try writing a GA. :)
2008-05-03 05:53 < Warpath> yay another Shiroi_Neko :D
2008-05-03 05:53 < Warpath> O_O
2008-05-03 05:54 < ta_bu_shi_da_yu> Hildanknight: no time :(
2008-05-03 05:56 < Lycurgus> GA = genetic algorithm?
2008-05-03 05:58 < Lycurgus> (i presume "G" article then)
2008-05-03 06:00 < Hildanknight> Good Article, duh.
2008-05-03 06:02 < Lycurgus> never heard of it. FA and stuff, but not that.
2008-05-03 06:02 < Lycurgus> maybe that's the gold star
2008-05-03 06:05 < lucasbfr> Lycurgus: GA is more informal than GA
2008-05-03 06:05 < lucasbfr> but it still involves a peer review
2008-05-03 06:06 < Lycurgus> ah
2008-05-03 06:13 < lucasbfr> *than FA
2008-05-03 06:14 < Mike_H> There are 21 Haagen-Dazs shops in Paris :o
2008-05-03 06:14 < Mike_H> and only one in Tampa :(
2008-05-03 06:14 < Lycurgus> in the whole tampa-st. pete area?
2008-05-03 06:15 < Mike_H> Lycurgus: I didn't check St. Pete.
2008-05-03 06:15 < Mike_H> I only checked Tampa.
2008-05-03 06:15 < Mike_H> They are two separate cities, you know.
2008-05-03 06:15 < Mike_H> Lycurgus: I just did a search and there are no Haagen-Dazs in St. Petersburg.
2008-05-03 06:16 < Mike_H> There is one in Clearwater, however.
2008-05-03 06:16 < Lycurgus> not in my mind they aren't. lived in fl 10 years and only went there a couple of times (to fix my fist computer, a heathkit)
2008-05-03 06:16 < Mike_H> Lycurgus: It takes 30 minutes to get into St. Pete from Tampa. In my mind, they're fairly separate.
2008-05-03 06:17 < Mike_H> There are six stores in Orlando, though.
2008-05-03 06:17 < Lycurgus> me thinks of tampa and western fl in general as the old folks part (moreso than the rest of the state)
2008-05-03 06:18 < Mike_H> Not so much Tampa anymore.
2008-05-03 06:18 < Mike_H> Maybe the suburbs
2008-05-03 06:18 < Mike_H> or the more southern parts of western Florida
2008-05-03 06:18 < Mike_H> like Fort Myers and Naples.
2008-05-03 06:18 < Lycurgus> bbiab
2008-05-03 06:19 < Mike_H> Naples has more Haagen-Dazs than Tampa :o
2008-05-03 06:19 < Mike_H> two to one.
2008-05-03 06:29 < denelson83> Lycurgus: Fist computer? Does that take a lot of abuse?
2008-05-03 06:30 < cimon> Mike_H: Did you hear that Barbara Walters has just copped to being an adulterer?
2008-05-03 06:31 * SynergeticMag burps
2008-05-03 06:32 < SynergeticMag> i don't want to think about Barbara having sex....
2008-05-03 06:35 < bumm13> haha
2008-05-03 06:35 < SynergeticMag> its just not right
2008-05-03 06:35 < cimon> Apparently Walters did the monster with two backs with a married Senator.
2008-05-03 06:36 * SynergeticMag covers eyes
2008-05-03 06:37 < bumm13> monster with two backs?
2008-05-03 06:37 < SynergeticMag> nessie
2008-05-03 06:37 < SynergeticMag> loch ness
2008-05-03 06:37 < SynergeticMag> it was the only thing that would touch her
2008-05-03 06:37 < cimon> bumm13: colloquial for intercourse
2008-05-03 06:38 * lucasbfr is having troubles figuring out how someone invented this expression
2008-05-03 06:39 < SynergeticMag> imagine being a kid and seeing sex for the first time, it looks like a monster with two backs
2008-05-03 06:39 < SynergeticMag> i suppose
2008-05-03 06:39 < SynergeticMag> or maybe not
2008-05-03 06:40 < lucasbfr> hehe
2008-05-03 06:40 < cimon> http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=monster+with+two+backs - apparently Urban dictionary doesn't really have a clue either. but it does confirm the meaning...
2008-05-03 06:48 < bumm13> hiya Weasel
2008-05-03 06:59 < Lycurgus> denelson83: chuckles
2008-05-03 07:07 < OMGItsTehWeasel_> Hello
2008-05-03 07:34 < NoPegs> BLERK!!!
2008-05-03 07:41 < bumm13> hiya NoPegs
2008-05-03 08:05 < pengo> damn.. hans reiser was convicted
2008-05-03 08:05 < Warpath> \o/
2008-05-03 08:06 < Kamping_Kaiser> your not supprisedare you?
2008-05-03 08:10 < Werdna> anybody from the UK around?
2008-05-03 08:11 < pengo> Kamping_Kaiser: nah not so surprised.. just sad.. so much for the "Platypus Defense"
2008-05-03 08:19 < NoPegs> BLERK!!! BLERK! BLERK!!!!!
2008-05-03 08:21 < Alkivar> platypus defense?
2008-05-03 08:24 < Alkivar> thats sad... from my reading of the facts of the case, its quite difficult to prove guilt factually
2008-05-03 08:25 < Alkivar> i still dont understand how you can convict with no body, no murder weapon and no eyewitnesses
2008-05-03 08:28 < pengo> i guess hosing out the car and removing the blood-soaked seat was the give away
2008-05-03 08:31 < Alkivar> thats funny because they never proved the seat was "blood-soaked" just that there was blood on it
2008-05-03 08:31 < pengo> ok i exaggerate
2008-05-03 08:32 < Alkivar> and the amount of blood found was about as much as would have occured from a nosebleed
2008-05-03 08:33 < Alkivar> then there was the other bf of his ex-wife... the sadomasochist who had numerous assault charges
2008-05-03 08:33 < Alkivar> i still think he's the one who did it
2008-05-03 08:33 < pengo> hmm
2008-05-03 08:34 < Alkivar> Forensic testing (including DNA analysis) could neither confirm nor rule out Nina Reiser as the source of the blood.
2008-05-03 08:34 < Alkivar> yeah thats quite telling right there
2008-05-03 08:36 < Alkivar> Sean Sturgeon, a one-time friend of Reiser, and alleged ex-lover of Nina, confessed to killing eight other people and leaving a ninth for dead. However, he claims he did not kill Nina.
2008-05-03 08:36 < Alkivar> thats the guy who did it in my book
2008-05-03 08:36 < Alkivar> hopefully hans will get released from jail in a year or two after she turns up and then he'll have a nice wrongful judgement lawsuit
2008-05-03 08:43 < Bungle> where can I find some documentation for coding parameters in a wiki template (like docs for #if etc)?
2008-05-03 08:53 < ThePolecat> "some scholars include:" is a nonsense phrase
2008-05-03 08:53 < Shiroi_Neko> ThePolecat some scholars believe you do not exist
2008-05-03 08:53 < Shiroi_Neko> they hired me to see to it that you cease to exist
2008-05-03 08:54 < Shiroi_Neko> :)
2008-05-03 08:54 < ThePolecat> That sounds like Stalinist historiography
2008-05-03 08:54 < Shiroi_Neko> oh no
2008-05-03 08:54 < Shiroi_Neko> its Lenninist
2008-05-03 08:57 < ThePolecat> Lennonist?
2008-05-03 08:57 < ThePolecat> or McCarthy... err McCartneyist
2008-05-03 08:57 < Werdna> anybody who knows what sport this is gets a cookie: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.470985,-0.9665621&z=19&t=h&hl=en
2008-05-03 08:58 < pengo> looks like several super imposed
2008-05-03 08:58 < ThePolecat> Werdna: Alien Athletics
2008-05-03 08:59 < ThePolecat> one is definitely a shot put range
2008-05-03 08:59 < pengo> is there a sign?
2008-05-03 08:59 < pengo> i could go look :)
2008-05-03 08:59 < Werdna> ThePolecat: what about those weird weird polygons?
2008-05-03 09:00 < ThePolecat> Hice.
2008-05-03 09:00 < ThePolecat> Caversham, don't know the place
2008-05-03 09:01 < ThePolecat> oh, near Reading
2008-05-03 09:01 < Werdna> ThePolecat: you're from the UK?
2008-05-03 09:01 < ThePolecat> no
2008-05-03 09:01 < Werdna> know anything about Reading?
2008-05-03 09:01 < ThePolecat> but I have a reasonable grasp
2008-05-03 09:01 < ThePolecat> yea, they've got a fairly bad football side
2008-05-03 09:02 < Werdna> hehe, I don't care about football
2008-05-03 09:02 < Werdna> I care about living there next year
2008-05-03 09:03 < Werdna> http://www.epstone.net/~andrew/weird_markings.jpg
2008-05-03 09:03 < ThePolecat> but you wouldn't like an alien base in the vicinity?
2008-05-03 09:03 < Werdna> well, that's a school my gf might be helping at for a year while I'm there.
2008-05-03 09:04 < Thehelpfulone2> Werdna: is it baseball? :P
2008-05-03 09:04 < ThePolecat> oh nice.
2008-05-03 09:04 * ThePolecat 's money is still on shot put
2008-05-03 09:05 < Werdna> Thehelpfulone2: dunno
2008-05-03 09:05 < Werdna> it's weird./
2008-05-03 09:05 < Thehelpfulone2> lol
2008-05-03 09:05 < ThePolecat> But I have to go.
2008-05-03 09:05 < ThePolecat> be back tomorrow.
2008-05-03 09:05 < Werdna> enjoy.

2008-05-03 09:42 < Alkivar> actually you'll find people on irc tend to be more intelligent than the idiots who run mass media or walk down your streets
2008-05-03 09:44 < Leslie_S> they usually are more important than people at walmart.
2008-05-03 09:44 < Leslie_S> erm, intelligent
2008-05-03 09:44 < Leslie_S> important too :P

2008-05-03 10:48 < Alkivar> uh no
2008-05-03 10:53 < rocketmaster000> Why can't you delete it?
2008-05-03 10:54 < piksi> rocketmaster000: would it be an open and democratic decision then? one guys says on irc "hey delete article x, according to y it's NN" "sure, ok!" ;-)
2008-05-03 11:01 < litb> hello all
2008-05-03 11:01 < HumayunMirzajr> Hello
2008-05-03 11:01 < litb> so ReiserFS murders your wife?
2008-05-03 11:01 < rocketmaster000> They said, and i quote "She caused just one accident".
2008-05-03 11:04 < Voyaging> rocketmaster000: who's they?
2008-05-03 11:07 < rocketmaster000> The guys at the japanese wikipedia IRC channel.
2008-05-03 11:07 < quanticle> piksi: Um, Wikipedia, unlike most popular conceptions, is not a democracy.
2008-05-03 11:07 < quanticle> That said, I do think the Nevada-tan article is notable. Its well supported.
2008-05-03 11:08 < Voyaging> quanticle: agreed
2008-05-03 11:08 < Voyaging> "Wikipedia is not a democracy"

2008-05-03 11:12 < SynergeticMag> did someone says its not notable?
2008-05-03 11:13 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: Well, commune perhaps, but Wikipedia certainly isn't anarchist.
2008-05-03 11:14 < SynergeticMag> hmph
2008-05-03 11:14 < quanticle> litb: In Soviet Russia, your wife murders ReiserFS!
2008-05-03 11:15 < SynergeticMag> how would you figure quanticle..?
2008-05-03 11:15 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: 10:01 < litb> so ReiserFS murders your wife?
2008-05-03 11:15 < piksi> quanticle: well not perhaps literally democratic, but everyone has the possibility to see disputes and have a voice on them or so i've grown to understand
2008-05-03 11:15 * SynergeticMag acts puzzled
2008-05-03 11:16 < litb> quanticle: wikipedia says in file system comparisions that it murders your wife
2008-05-03 11:16 < quanticle> piksi: That's true, but in most contexts, democracy implies a system of voting.
2008-05-03 11:16 < quanticle> piksi: Wikipedia doesn't operate like that. Consensus != simple majority vote
2008-05-03 11:16 < Messedrocker> instead, it's supermajority vote
2008-05-03 11:17 < Voyaging> democracy = majority rules
2008-05-03 11:17 < litb> it is what is true mate
2008-05-03 11:17 < SynergeticMag> i'm still at odds with how wikipedia uses the word consensus
2008-05-03 11:17 < Messedrocker> except for the occasional exception because he deserved it
2008-05-03 11:17 < Voyaging> wikipedia = discussion and consensus decide
2008-05-03 11:17 < Messedrocker> i wonder how a mouse got into my room
2008-05-03 11:17 < Messedrocker> in any case, my big black cat probably killed it by now
2008-05-03 11:19 < Messedrocker> BIG BLACK MAN
2008-05-03 11:19 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Well, has your cat brought you the "kill" yet, seeking approval? That's what my friends cat always did - "Look what I killed, mommy!"
2008-05-03 11:19 < Messedrocker> I CONSIDER HIM A MAN
2008-05-03 11:20 < Messedrocker> quanticle, he ran off with the mouse
2008-05-03 11:20 < litb> he is a woman
2008-05-03 11:20 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Ran off with, or ran off after?
2008-05-03 11:20 < Messedrocker> with, in his mouth
2008-05-03 11:21 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Ah. Ok. Well, here's hoping that the mouse doesn't pass any diseases or parasites onto your cat.

Worse, these crimes pay. According to The Washington Post and The London Times, one undertaker buys women's bodies for more than $2,000 and sells them to prospective "in-laws" for nearly $5,000.'

At this point, the article became truly interesting and relevant, if a bit didactic and terrifying. It called ...

2008-05-03 12:03 < Lycurgus> that's crap, circumcision is thousands of years old
2008-05-03 12:04 < Lycurgus> and it's not limited to one culture, though it is primarily associated with semitic culture
2008-05-03 12:04 < Lycurgus> in africa the more controversial female circumcision which takes functional tissue is from an entirely different tradition
2008-05-03 12:05 < Lycurgus> but shows that "genital mutiliation" is hardly an abberation of 19th century european culture
2008-05-03 12:06 < Lycurgus> technically, piercing, tattoos, etc. it's all "mutilation"
2008-05-03 12:07 < Lycurgus> if the tissue is non-functional and an actual benefit can be shown, there can be no logical reason to proscribe the practice
2008-05-03 12:07 < Lycurgus> even for infants
2008-05-03 12:08 < Lycurgus> and there must be something to say for it because there are largish number of adult males who do choose to get circumcised

2008-05-03 12:12 < Lycurgus> yeah I wasn't gonna say anything about that
2008-05-03 12:12 < Lucifer_Cat> Mike5: what would that be?
2008-05-03 12:12 < Mike5> a very wide range

2008-05-03 12:13 < Lucifer_Cat> ahh

2008-05-03 12:19 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: I can't. I've already got 4 games active.
2008-05-03 12:19 < Lucifer_Cat> not join... watch
2008-05-03 12:21 < Lucifer_Cat> that map is awesome. players actually play in parallel for half rounds
2008-05-03 12:21 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Ah. Ok.
2008-05-03 12:22 < Lucifer_Cat> we arent actively playing it, but last night was intense. we had a protracted war
2008-05-03 12:23 < Lucifer_Cat> break of dawn gave me an upperhand with a large backup army... and despite stiff resistance, i was able to drive him off the bunkers and artillery positions
2008-05-03 12:24 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: you looking at it?
2008-05-03 12:30 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Yeah. You've pretty much destroyed the QuickIquana
2008-05-03 12:30 < quanticle> Er, QuickIguana, even
2008-05-03 12:30 < Lucifer_Cat> that was in the very last round i played this morning.
2008-05-03 12:31 < Lucifer_Cat> was a bit of a blitzkrieg, since i suppose he wasnt looking.
2008-05-03 12:31 < Lucifer_Cat> before that he held the artillery and some trenches... and the fight kept on going back and forth, since he could see what i was attacking and vice versa
2008-05-03 12:32 < Lucifer_Cat> and i used his tactic of loading all the armies at one position and then sweeping through
2008-05-03 12:33 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: That's the same tactic i'm using to bolster my defenses in the face of Mr. 33-0.
2008-05-03 12:34 < Lucifer_Cat> btw 33-0 is the positive-negative feedback ratio
2008-05-03 12:34 < gwern> quanticle: what game are you talking about? I thought it was Risk, but it doesn't sound like it
2008-05-03 12:34 < Lucifer_Cat> not ratio, but anyways

2008-05-03 12:35 < Lucifer_Cat> lol yeah, but then he HAS lost matches too
2008-05-03 12:35 < Lucifer_Cat> and its not chess. theres the roll of the dice to deal with as well.

2008-05-03 12:44 < Lucifer_Cat> Demi: what percent of them do care?

2008-05-03 12:45 < Demi> somewhat less than the number who ask for big dicks
2008-05-03 12:46 < Lucifer_Cat> btw, do you regularly check those lists or what

2008-05-03 12:49 < Lucifer_Cat> maybe i should read the SF edition.. it has to be more fun
2008-05-03 12:49 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: The crayon effects, especially in the text and some of the icons are quite sophisticated, though. Whoever made this map has some solid Photshop skills.
2008-05-03 12:49 < Demi> yeah, SF is still the epicenter of craigslist
2008-05-03 12:51 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: or programming skills. a class mate of mine works for a textile company, and he has to create the look of the texture using VC++
2008-05-03 12:52 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Yeah, that's a possibility as well.
2008-05-03 12:52 < Lucifer_Cat> for his internship project, one of the things he did was to give it a crayonized look
