2008-05-07 20:15 < FastLizard4> >:(
2008-05-07 20:16 * FastLizard4 picks up his Ubuntu-BASH manual and rereads it
2008-05-07 20:16 < FastLizard4> what about ``sudo rmdir /etc''?
2008-05-07 20:17 < LOUD_CAT> HELLO ALL!!!!
2008-05-07 20:17 < cimon> amidaniel: you can alias anything to anything in the *x family.
2008-05-07 20:17 < FastLizard4> sudo rmdir /users/LOUD_CAT :P
2008-05-07 20:18 < Messedrocker> what's with ``odd quotes''
2008-05-07 20:18 < cimon> alias rmdir del
2008-05-07 20:18 < amidaniel> FastLizard4: That'll fail unless /etc is empty, which it's hopefully not ...
2008-05-07 20:18 < LOUD_CAT> FastLizard4: COMMAND FAILED - INSUFFECIENT LOUDNESS
2008-05-07 20:18 < cimon> well in some shells you can.
2008-05-07 20:18 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: If I understood the manual correctly, if you use sudo, it overrides that (or gksudo, I forget which)
2008-05-07 20:19 < NRich> how do you mark an article as having blatently false information
2008-05-07 20:19 < Lucifer_Cat> SHOUT IT OUT YOU PUSSIES
2008-05-07 20:19 < FastLizard4> The only commmand I have down is ``gksudo gedit'' :P
2008-05-07 20:19 < Lucifer_Cat> AND WHERE THE FUCK IS ENTERPRISE_CAT
2008-05-07 20:19 < amidaniel> FastLizard4: No, -f would override that
2008-05-07 20:19 < amidaniel> sudo just allows you to execute the admin as root
2008-05-07 20:19 < amidaniel> command*
2008-05-07 20:19 < FastLizard4> I really need to review my BASH crap
2008-05-07 20:19 < NRich> anyone in here actually talking about wikipedia
2008-05-07 20:20 < amidaniel> Fuck I'm tired
2008-05-07 20:20 < NRich> I know bash, i'll teach you if you answer me
2008-05-07 20:20 < Lucifer_Cat> awww how cute
2008-05-07 20:20 < Lucifer_Cat> LOUD_CAT: can you please help NRich ... the only person whos really on topic?
2008-05-07 20:20 * Messedrocker wonders how much of this iced tea is actually tea
2008-05-07 20:20 < denelson83> I knew it! We ARE getting gouged! http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/JE06Dj07.html
2008-05-07 20:21 < Messedrocker> considering i like it, probably close to 1%
2008-05-07 20:21 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: the "flavor" ure testing, is ammonia
2008-05-07 20:21 < bbot> Messedrocker: mostly whiskey
2008-05-07 20:21 < LOUD_CAT> NRICH - WHAT CAN I DO YOU FOR?
2008-05-07 20:21 < cimon> LOUD_CAT: I sent you a file, why are you resisting it. ?
2008-05-07 20:21 < FastLizard4> Anyway, I was playing around with Ubuntu's XServer configuration, and I completely killed XServer :P
2008-05-07 20:21 < NRich> LOUD_CAT: HOW CAN I MARK AN ARTICLE AS HAVING FALSE INFORMATION
2008-05-07 20:21 < FastLizard4> Am I glad I bakced up xorg.conf :P
2008-05-07 20:22 < bbot> bakced
2008-05-07 20:22 < NRich> it's not hard to go back into what you would know as safe mode
2008-05-07 20:22 < Messedrocker> denelson83, does that mean prices are going to go down now?
2008-05-07 20:22 < NRich> driver "vesa"
2008-05-07 20:22 < denelson83> No, it means within the next few months, they're going to DOUBLE
2008-05-07 20:22 < FastLizard4> NRich: Ahh! You don't know how safe mode (actually recovery mode) works on Ubuntu
2008-05-07 20:22 < NRich> since no one wants to talk about wikipedia
2008-05-07 20:22 * amidaniel suggests FastLizard4 learn just a tad about Linux before he starts messing around with vital system files ...
2008-05-07 20:22 < NRich> FastLizard4: I do too.
2008-05-07 20:22 < FastLizard4> NRich: Recovery Mode on Ubuntu is command line and dosen't use X
2008-05-07 20:22 < Messedrocker> amidaniel, how on earth is X vital?
2008-05-07 20:23 < Lucifer_Cat> FastLizard4: you are trying to operate on your own spleen
2008-05-07 20:23 < amidaniel> Touché :)
2008-05-07 20:23 < amidaniel> @ Messedrocker ^
2008-05-07 20:23 < NRich> I said what you would know of as recovery, as in what you would think was recovery since you know windows
2008-05-07 20:23 < LOUD_CAT> NRICH - YOU CAN USE {{totally-disputed}}
2008-05-07 20:23 < FastLizard4> NRich: I run Windows and Ubuntu
2008-05-07 20:23 < LOUD_CAT> OR {{Disputed}}
2008-05-07 20:23 < NRich> it's factually incorrect, it's not opinion, but ok
2008-05-07 20:23 < LOUD_CAT> OR {{Dubious}}
2008-05-07 20:23 * Lucifer_Cat SILENCES LOUD_CAT
2008-05-07 20:23 < Ziggy_Sawdust> omg Leslie_S
2008-05-07 20:23 * Ziggy_Sawdust hugs
2008-05-07 20:24 < cimon> LOUD_CAT: do you have trouble with shit sticking to your fur?
2008-05-07 20:24 < Ziggy_Sawdust> ...
2008-05-07 20:24 < NRich> ubuntu, how cute
2008-05-07 20:24 < Ziggy_Sawdust> wow
2008-05-07 20:24 < Ziggy_Sawdust> after patrolling new pages for about an hour
2008-05-07 20:24 < LOUD_CAT> THANK YOU FOR USING THE LOUD_CAT HELP SERVICE. HAVE A NICE DAY.
2008-05-07 20:24 < Lucifer_Cat> lol
2008-05-07 20:24 < FastLizard4> NRich: Recovery Mode on Ubuntu simply bypasses GDM and XServer and skips to a BASH prompt
2008-05-07 20:24 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I'm strangely motivated to create my own nonsense page
2008-05-07 20:24 < FastLizard4> Although it was simple enough to recover
2008-05-07 20:24 < denelson83> Loud_cat: Simmer down, please
2008-05-07 20:24 < NRich> FastLizard4: you sound so technical, yet you don't even know what you're saying
2008-05-07 20:24 < FastLizard4> NRich: I actually do
2008-05-07 20:25 < FastLizard4> I know more about Linux than people usually think
2008-05-07 20:25 < NRich> skipping all of that is just called runlevel 3 , which is not what ubuntu recovery goes into
2008-05-07 20:25 < FastLizard4> NRich: Yes it is
2008-05-07 20:25 < FastLizard4> Try it
2008-05-07 20:25 < NRich> ubuntu goes into single user mode
2008-05-07 20:25 * Lucifer_Cat hopes NRich was NRiched by this visit to #wikipedia
2008-05-07 20:25 < amidaniel> FastLizard4: No, it's not
2008-05-07 20:25 < NRich> you are new =] but once you get past kiddie linux you'll find out some more
2008-05-07 20:25 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: Then why dosen't it load the GUI in Recovery Mode?
2008-05-07 20:25 < amidaniel> NRich: There's often more on-topic chatter in #wikipedia-en , btw
2008-05-07 20:25 < NRich> ahh thank you much!
2008-05-07 20:26 < Messedrocker> NRich, personally I like FreeBSD
2008-05-07 20:26 < amidaniel> NRich: We've tried to clean this channel up many a time without avail :)
2008-05-07 20:26 < LOUD_CAT> NRICH - ANYTHING ELSE?
2008-05-07 20:26 < Lucifer_Cat> howdy, identity_crysis_cat?
2008-05-07 20:26 < NRich> bsd is beautiful for servers
2008-05-07 20:26 < NRich> not so nice for laptops =]
2008-05-07 20:26 < NRich> but portage is cool, and the use flags being in ncurses is cool
2008-05-07 20:27 < NRich> anyways g2g ciao
2008-05-07 20:27 < FastLizard4> I got Ubuntu to run on my teacher's old Win95 laptop that weighs at least 8 pounds
2008-05-07 20:27 < Ceiling_Cat> http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354327,00.html
2008-05-07 20:27 < Ceiling_Cat> Jim Piculas said he made a toothpick disappear and reappear in front of students at the Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes, Fla., Local6.com reported. He said he later got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he had been accused of wizardry.
2008-05-07 20:27 < NRich> ubuntu is barely linux imo
2008-05-07 20:27 < Lucifer_Cat> speedy lizzy, your turn on 2 maps

2008-05-07 20:28 < Messedrocker> no, "fucking" as in the expletive
2008-05-07 20:28 < Ceiling_Cat> Cyrius - I didn't realize that some parts of florida were still stuck in the 1600s

2008-05-07 20:28 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: What's the difference between GRUB and LILO?

2008-05-07 20:28 < amidaniel> FastLizard4: Umm .. they're different boot loaders
2008-05-07 20:29 < Messedrocker> FastLizard4, one's a wormy thing, the other's the dead founder of freenode
2008-05-07 20:29 < Cyrius> Ceiling_Cat: I'm just wondering how much longer I'm going to be seeing people pointing at it
2008-05-07 20:29 < cimon> Mark Pellegrini: do recieve the filie I sent you thoug, you will like it...
2008-05-07 20:29 < amidaniel> GRUB is the newer, more standard one, LILO is the original(TM)
2008-05-07 20:29 < FastLizard4> amidaniel: I know that, but what's the difference between the two?
2008-05-07 20:29 < FastLizard4> oh
2008-05-07 20:29 < Ziggy_Sawdust> If he's quiet, he's a Wharsperer
2008-05-07 20:29 < denelson83> GRUB is like Wenger
2008-05-07 20:29 < denelson83> LILO is like Victorinox

2008-05-07 21:00 * quanticle tries to launch tackle
2008-05-07 21:01 * quanticle hurts itself in its confusion!
2008-05-07 21:03 * quanticle sponges off Lucifer_Cat
2008-05-07 21:03 < TheWeasel> SHIT

2008-05-07 21:04 < TheWeasel> ay, tis.
2008-05-07 21:04 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Who? Germany?
2008-05-07 21:04 * TheWeasel watches ice hockey randomly
2008-05-07 21:04 < TheWeasel> yea
2008-05-07 21:04 < TheWeasel> Norway equalized
2008-05-07 21:04 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Ice hockey or football?
2008-05-07 21:04 * Voyaging notices pokemon reference
2008-05-07 21:04 < quanticle> Oh, hockey.
2008-05-07 21:04 < quanticle> Voyaging: I'm glad someone did.
2008-05-07 21:05 < Voyaging> :P
2008-05-07 21:06 < cimon> TheWeasel: the nice thing about Ice Hockey is that apart from some aberrances like Japan, in the top tier, any team can draw any other team, on a good day to the other teams bad day...
2008-05-07 21:07 < TheWeasel> Norway vs. Germany is a killer matchup in women's football
2008-05-07 21:07 < TheWeasel> yea...
2008-05-07 21:07 < quanticle> The issue I have with ice hockey is that, on television, its damn near impossible to keep track of the puck. I can only imagine it being worse in person.
2008-05-07 21:08 < cimon> quanticle: that is just a matter of training...
2008-05-07 21:08 * quanticle off for dinner
2008-05-07 21:08 < ggreer> get an HDTV
2008-05-07 21:08 * TheWeasel is drunk. It's infinitely worse for me.
2008-05-07 21:08 < ggreer> it's super easy to track the puck
2008-05-07 21:09 < cimon> I have never had any trouble keeping track of the puck, even on a 12 inch b/W used on a car battery.
2008-05-07 21:10 < tawker> it's easy
2008-05-07 21:10 < tawker> just go to the rink
2008-05-07 21:10 < nuke_js> speaking of hockey
2008-05-07 21:10 < tawker> although truth be told
2008-05-07 21:10 < tawker> either in person
2008-05-07 21:10 < nuke_js> some FAs need to be scheduled
2008-05-07 21:10 < tawker> or on a giant HDTV
2008-05-07 21:10 < nuke_js> [[Dominik Hasek]]
2008-05-07 21:10 < cimon> with crappy reception in the outer finnish archipelago, with snow
2008-05-07 21:10 < nuke_js> or better
2008-05-07 21:10 < nuke_js> [[Stanley Cup]]
2008-05-07 21:11 < cimon> or whatever the technical description is for the thing that happens when you are far from the sending antenna.
2008-05-07 21:12 < TheWeasel> Dominik Hasek had a highly unorthodox technique
2008-05-07 21:12 < cimon> nuke_js: Dominik Hasek gets far too much respect, just because he played in the NHL. Tretjak FTW.
2008-05-07 21:12 < nuke_js> Hasek=God before he was a dick and ditched the Sens
2008-05-07 21:13 < TheWeasel> Tretyak was a goalie coach at the Blackhawks for years
2008-05-07 21:13 < cimon> *Tretyak (/if you like that spelling)
2008-05-07 21:13 < nuke_js> Третьак is the only non-NHLer in the Hockey Hall of Fame
2008-05-07 21:13 < nuke_js> I thin
2008-05-07 21:13 < nuke_js> k
2008-05-07 21:13 < nuke_js> which is a bit pathetic
2008-05-07 21:13 < nuke_js> as I helped write the FA [[Hockey Hall of Fame]]
2008-05-07 21:13 < TheWeasel> the Blackhawks who I think still suck
2008-05-07 21:13 < denelson83> Don't be Russian to conclusions
2008-05-07 21:13 < TheWeasel> they're kind of like the Knicks of NHL
2008-05-07 21:13 < nuke_js> maybe make this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Paper_Cranes
2008-05-07 21:13 < nuke_js> FA
2008-05-07 21:14 * TheWeasel hopes this hockey game doesn't end like Hamlet
2008-05-07 21:14 < TheWeasel> i.e. with everyone dying and Norway winning
2008-05-07 21:15 < gwern> TheWeasel: it could end like Beowulf
2008-05-07 21:15 < gwern> (ie, most everyone dies, and the scyldings soon to win)
2008-05-07 21:15 < gwern> so if you think about it, Beowful is more cheerful than Hamlet!
2008-05-07 21:15 < Lucifer_Cat> buttery_cat will resume fighting after dinner
2008-05-07 21:16 < TheWeasel> I'm not an English native speaker, so I never studied Beowulf
2008-05-07 21:16 < denelson83> another netsplit
2008-05-07 21:17 < Lucifer_Cat> heh, that reminded me of Asterix in Britain, where the Brits were fighting the Romans and would not fight during Tea Time and after 5
2008-05-07 21:17 < gwern> in the original? 'sok, most english native speakers will never read it in the original
2008-05-07 21:17 * Lucifer_Cat NP: Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits
2008-05-07 21:17 < gwern> I mean, the Old English, sheesh! middle english is incredibly hard going, even if you have an extremely excellent vocab; old english is a couple bridges too far
2008-05-07 21:17 < TheWeasel> dice were LOAded from the start
2008-05-07 21:17 < TheWeasel> NORWAY LEAD
2008-05-07 21:17 < TheWeasel> :-/
2008-05-07 21:18 < cimon> gwern: have you read the version by that one poet, whatsis name?
2008-05-07 21:18 < TheWeasel> after blatant anti-German referee decisions
2008-05-07 21:18 < denelson83> Oscar Wilde?
2008-05-07 21:18 < cimon> surname begins with a "h"
2008-05-07 21:18 < denelson83> Ernest Hemingway?
2008-05-07 21:18 < gwern> (shakespearean english, though, pretty easy. I guess that's a testament to shakespeare)
2008-05-07 21:18 < gwern> cimon: I own it
2008-05-07 21:18 < gwern> denelson83: no, Seamus Heany
2008-05-07 21:18 < TheWeasel> *insert generic gay joke here*
2008-05-07 21:18 < TheWeasel> Sean Hannity?
2008-05-07 21:18 < denelson83> Seamus who?
2008-05-07 21:18 < gwern> heaney?
2008-05-07 21:18 < gwern> [[Seamus Heaney]]
2008-05-07 21:18 * denelson83 kicks Seamus' heaney
2008-05-07 21:19 < cimon> denelson83: nice phonemick pun
2008-05-07 21:19 < gwern> his translation was famous and popular (and it's excellent imo, I compared several before settling on his)
2008-05-07 21:19 < TheWeasel> Why do all right-wing radio types have Irish names?
2008-05-07 21:19 < cimon> take the mick out of the phone.
2008-05-07 21:21 < Lucifer_Cat> heh, Song Meanings corollary of Godwins Law: The probablity of a rock hit being analyzed to be about Jesus/Satan, Drugs, ex-GF and "sooo my song"/"shit going on in my life" is prettymuch 1 to start with.
2008-05-07 21:21 < Lucifer_Cat> http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=33130 <-- third comment
2008-05-07 21:22 < Lucifer_Cat> i mean the law is fulfilled
2008-05-07 21:22 * TheWeasel thinks that targets the hard rock kind most especially
2008-05-07 21:22 < TheWeasel> the Zeppelin-Pearl Jam kind of song
2008-05-07 21:22 < cimon> gwern: that is a big deal... I know, because I have yet to see an even passable english translation of the Finnish national Epic Kalevala. Even the Longfellow translation that conserves the meter is not good. As I would tend to want to conserve the vowel harmonies more faithfully than the meter, if I had my druthers...
2008-05-07 21:22 < TheWeasel> the black-full-beard kind of bands are always the most analyzed
2008-05-07 21:23 < TheWeasel> yea, Germanic literature belongs translated keeping the alliteration rather than the rhyme.
2008-05-07 21:23 < TheWeasel> SHIT
2008-05-07 21:23 < Lucifer_Cat> You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
2008-05-07 21:23 < Lucifer_Cat> You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
2008-05-07 21:23 < Lucifer_Cat> Now you just say oh romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him
2008-05-07 21:24 < Lucifer_Cat> I smirked
2008-05-07 21:24 < TheWeasel> NORWAY, THE ALLITERATION IDIOTS WIN
2008-05-07 21:24 < TheWeasel> sorry Aqwis, old sport
2008-05-07 21:24 < Lucifer_Cat> whizzle, sup
2008-05-07 21:24 < TheWeasel> Dies were loaded from the start
2008-05-07 21:25 < gwern> cimon: I heard kalevala was nigh impossible to translate properly as it's in shambles and cobbled together from a bunch of old people retelling half-remembered poems
2008-05-07 21:25 < gwern> but I don't really know much about the kalevala
2008-05-07 21:25 < cimon> gwern: I am not belittling the song of hiawatha type efforts by longfellow, but the meter wasn't so much of a form for the art, but for the purposes of memorisation. the art and magic was conveyed by the vowel harmonies and repetition of "internal rhyming" (I don't know what the english term for it is, but with the same sound structure within words, rather than at the end of lines)...
2008-05-07 21:26 < Lucifer_Cat> I bet and you exploded in my heart
2008-05-07 21:26 < cimon> gwern: well, all the "official" versions are bowdlerized ones...
2008-05-07 21:26 < TheWeasel> it's kind of a syllable alliteration
2008-05-07 21:26 < gwern> cimon: alliteration?
2008-05-07 21:26 < TheWeasel> it's the defining characteristic of northern European poetry
2008-05-07 21:27 < gwern> yeah. I always wondered why it disapeared. was it really just french influence?
2008-05-07 21:27 * TheWeasel flips the bird at the Norwegian anthem
2008-05-07 21:27 < TheWeasel> we were totally cheated
2008-05-07 21:27 < TheWeasel> I have no idea
2008-05-07 21:28 < TheWeasel> it's mostly a renaissance thing
2008-05-07 21:28 < TheWeasel> you can rhyme a great deal more in Romance languages
2008-05-07 21:29 < gwern> true. and then in languages like japanese where it's too easy to rhyme, you get fixated on syllable count
2008-05-07 21:29 < cimon> gwern: Lönnroth (the guy who collected all the poems) tried to make an epic of disjoint incantations and conflicting lore about people not necessarily even the same persons, and losing most of the stuff that had to do with sex...
2008-05-07 21:29 < gwern> truly, the ways of poesy are many and divers
2008-05-07 21:30 < Lucifer_Cat> when you buy off ebay, are you supporting the artist?
2008-05-07 21:30 < gwern> cimon: that's something like what I heard. I was kind of suspicious though, as what I know comes from Campbell's Masks of God series, and also [[Hamlet's Mill]], which was trying to interpret it as being about astronomy...
2008-05-07 21:30 < gwern> Lucifer_Cat: sure
2008-05-07 21:30 < cimon> gwern: "Suomen Kansan Vanhat Runot" has all the lewd stuff...
2008-05-07 21:30 * TheWeasel watches Prof. Haber on astronomy
2008-05-07 21:31 < Ziggy_Sawdust> XD
2008-05-07 21:31 < gwern> Lucifer_Cat: why wouldn't you be?
2008-05-07 21:31 < TheWeasel> he's got this annoying dative-e going on
2008-05-07 21:31 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Some guy created an article with his phone number in it
2008-05-07 21:32 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I just called and left him a message saying "Don't put your phone number on Wikipedia! Are you dense?"
2008-05-07 21:32 < TheWeasel> that likely didn't assuage the problem-
2008-05-07 21:32 < cimon> gwern: heh, I am sitting less than four inches from a volume of The Hero With a Thousand Faces.
2008-05-07 21:33 < Lucifer_Cat> gwern: just making sure
2008-05-07 21:33 < gwern> cimon: strangely, I've never read it, but I did read his 4 volume series
2008-05-07 21:33 * gwern has strange priorities
2008-05-07 21:34 < cimon> gwern: if there is any place close to hell though, I would put all those who participated in the abridgement of frazers golden bough...
2008-05-07 21:34 < gwern> Lucifer_Cat: consider: part of the reason people buy stuff is because they don't entirely depreciate - there is a resale market. viz. jewelry, video games. I'm sure you can adumbrate more. by buying off ebay, you support the secondary market for the artist's goods, and thereby increase the value of his goods after depreciation
2008-05-07 21:35 < cimon> gwern: I have possessed three copies of The Golden Bough, and all of them were seriously edited for length, to put it nicely...
2008-05-07 21:35 < Lucifer_Cat> gwern: you have a good point.
2008-05-07 21:35 < gwern> Lucifer_Cat: now, you are obviously not supporting the artists as much as if you bought straight from her. but to say she's not being supported is to make some odd assumptions about her goods and customers
2008-05-07 21:35 < gwern> cimon: how long is the golden bough supposed to be? I have a suspicions what I read wasn't the whole hog either
2008-05-07 21:35 < Lucifer_Cat> any artists im gonna support are he.. but still, yeah.
2008-05-07 21:35 < gwern> [[−0 (number)]] <-- lol
2008-05-07 21:35 < cimon> gwern: it is amazingly long...
2008-05-07 21:36 < gwern> multiple thick volumes? are we talking Toynbee or Spengler or Darwin long?
2008-05-07 21:36 < cimon> Gibbons surely. at the very least.
2008-05-07 21:36 < Lucifer_Cat> heh, todays FA is an open invitation for vandals
2008-05-07 21:37 < gwern> oh dear. I got gypped then
2008-05-07 21:37 < cimon> yes, you can imagine how I feel with three versions of differing thickness pocket books...
2008-05-07 21:38 < gwern> 'Historically, & was regarded as the 27th letter of the English alphabet (in some English-speaking/writing countries - though not in Australia. Ask any competent editor and you will be told, unequivocally, that "the ampersand is not the 27th letter of the alphabet!".)*[citation needed]'
2008-05-07 21:39 < gwern> cimon: well, I'm sure there are worse situations. like the multiple editions of Burton's translation of 1001 arabian nights
2008-05-07 21:39 < cimon> yes
2008-05-07 21:39 < cimon> I know what you mena
2008-05-07 21:39 < cimon> I also have a very very thin Don Quixote.
2008-05-07 21:40 < quanticle> Oh good lord! Who died and made Israel the FA?
2008-05-07 21:40 < gwern> cimon: lol
2008-05-07 21:40 * gwern wonders if it's legal to print the first burton edition in England
2008-05-07 21:41 < cimon> gwern: edited for children, you understand...
2008-05-07 21:44 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: I must protest your choice of FA. Its putting flamebait up on the main page of Wikipedia

2008-05-07 21:46 < quanticle> obscure mealybug, eh?
2008-05-07 21:46 < quanticle> as opposed to the obvious mealybug?
2008-05-07 21:46 < Ceiling_Cat> Awesomo.... are you, by any chance.... a pleasure model?
2008-05-07 21:47 < cimon> quanticle: better to put it up the main page, than put it up some other places...

2008-05-07 22:06 * The359 drives up to an African village
2008-05-07 22:07 < Messedrocker> Ziggy_Sawdust, I coined the phrase "stingraids"
2008-05-07 22:07 < The359> Hey everybody, guess what! They cured AIDS! All you need is a couple million dollars in cash!
2008-05-07 22:07 < Messedrocker> combining "stingrays" and "AIDS"
2008-05-07 22:07 < Ziggy_Sawdust> see, that's the thing about 1012

2008-05-07 22:07 < quanticle> AIDS is a US govt. conspiracy, of course </sarcasm>
2008-05-07 22:07 < Ziggy_Sawdust> there used to be a time when you could just get a couple hundred pals in a longship, burn a village to the ground, and rape the women
2008-05-07 22:08 < Ziggy_Sawdust> now you have to buy 200 condoms
2008-05-07 22:08 < The359> fuck that noise

2008-05-07 22:15 < Ziggy_Sawdust> of course...
2008-05-07 22:15 < The359> or one of the guys tries to shoot his way out
2008-05-07 22:15 < Ziggy_Sawdust> patrolling newpages, you're bound to come up with some real gems
2008-05-07 22:15 < Ziggy_Sawdust> like this one:
2008-05-07 22:15 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Drew Simone indeed does have a huge penis. This is no lie. In fact, it measures 11 inches and on a good day, reaches a full foot. He is also a World Champion Shitter. He was reccommended to the king by Jesse Meeks. Jesse told the king that Drew Simone was the greatest shitter in the world. The King of Mundtville, Derek Mundt, then dubbed Drew the greatest shitter in the world. An honor he...
2008-05-07 22:15 < Ziggy_Sawdust> ...still holds to this day.
2008-05-07 22:15 < Ziggy_Sawdust> but yeah
2008-05-07 22:15 < Ziggy_Sawdust> eventually someone's going to just whip out a .45 and an hero themselves
2008-05-07 22:16 < The359> unfortunately it seems all they catch are IT guys and old men
2008-05-07 22:16 < The359> and none of them are packing
2008-05-07 22:16 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawdust: Yeah, no kidding. Of course, at that point, they'd be pretty much screwing themselves over, since it'd all be caught on tape.
2008-05-07 22:16 < Ziggy_Sawdust> still
2008-05-07 22:17 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I think it's a cheese-dick concept tbqh
2008-05-07 22:17 < quanticle> The359: Well, yeah. Its because they're trolling for targets on the internet. Its well known that Internet Tough Guys never carry heat in real life.

2008-05-07 22:17 < Monobi> Oops

2008-05-07 22:37 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Not at all. I don't have enough lanes to effectively deploy all those armies
2008-05-07 22:40 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: besides, your armies in Turkey put up one hell of a fight. They dropped me from a 5:1 advantage to barely 3:1
2008-05-07 22:41 < Lucifer_Cat> aparently cyprus was stubborn
2008-05-07 22:42 < Messedrocker> oh, for a minute i thought you were talking about IRL

2008-05-07 22:43 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: lol
2008-05-07 22:43 < quanticle> See, even with 43 armies, there's no way I'd have been able to secure my gains, given the layout of your troop concentrations.
2008-05-07 22:45 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Your turn.
2008-05-07 22:48 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: 71 armies?! And you're saying that you'd be the one who got screwed?
2008-05-07 22:49 < Lucifer_Cat> i plan for the worst
2008-05-07 22:49 < Lucifer_Cat> there were already 5 armies on there though.

2008-05-07 22:50 < Ziggy_Sawdust> you know?
2008-05-07 22:50 < Ziggy_Sawdust> And I'd be glad to edit pages until the break of dawn if I knew it was going to accomplish something
2008-05-07 22:50 * quanticle experiments with writing without punctuation
2008-05-07 22:51 < quanticle> Or rather, end of sentence punctuation
2008-05-07 22:51 < Ziggy_Sawdust> but there's no point in catalyzing ATP if the body belongs to a guy who's driving his car off a cliff
2008-05-07 22:52 < quanticle> Is it possible to properly convey meaning without using things like periods or question marks Are these symbols unnecessary
