2008-05-08 02:00 * Lubaf wonders if anybody gets the reference.
2008-05-08 02:00 < Lubaf> Probably not.
2008-05-08 02:00 < Lubaf> Anywho.
2008-05-08 02:01 < Lubaf> Anybody seen Drew Carrey's Price is Right? How does he compare to Bob Barker?
2008-05-08 02:01 < SWATJester> keegan, my orange kitten is basically still kitten size
2008-05-08 02:01 < SWATJester> not like infant kitten
2008-05-08 02:01 < I_am_Keegan> just small
2008-05-08 02:01 < SWATJester> but I can still fit her in one hand kinda
2008-05-08 02:01 < SWATJester> and she'll never really get bigger
2008-05-08 02:01 < SWATJester> she's already what, over a year old, probably around 14 months
2008-05-08 02:03 < Cyrius> want a 13 pound wimp cat?

2008-05-08 02:04 < I_am_Keegan> she's a year and a half
2008-05-08 02:05 < SWATJester> kittens are literally just the greatest thing in the world
2008-05-08 02:05 < I_am_Keegan> I want a farm of Maine Coons
2008-05-08 02:06 < I_am_Keegan> http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Stretchedmainecoon.jpg
2008-05-08 02:07 < The359> not long enough
2008-05-08 02:07 < I_am_Keegan> "that's what she said"
2008-05-08 02:07 < SWATJester> long coon is long?
2008-05-08 02:08 < I_am_Keegan> he's not longcat
2008-05-08 02:08 < Cyrius> huh
2008-05-08 02:08 < Cyrius> this cat might actually be part maine coon
2008-05-08 02:09 < Mike_H> oh my God are we really having a cat conversation
2008-05-08 02:09 < Mike_H> why don't we just pull out our knitting?
2008-05-08 02:09 < Cyrius> can't knit, I have a pie in the oven
2008-05-08 02:10 < SWATJester> can't knit, still have penis.
2008-05-08 02:10 < Mike_H> SWATJester: now, that is not true
2008-05-08 02:10 < Mike_H> my best friend knits
2008-05-08 02:10 < Mike_H> and a lot of his friends knit
2008-05-08 02:10 < Mike_H> and they're guys.
2008-05-08 02:10 < SWATJester> lacks penis.
2008-05-08 02:10 < Mike_H> ...he has one.
2008-05-08 02:10 < Cyrius> Mike_H: you may be able to answer Lubaf's price is right question
2008-05-08 02:10 < Mike_H> Cyrius: No, I can't, I haven't watched Price is Right since like 1998.
2008-05-08 02:10 < Cyrius> huh
2008-05-08 02:10 < SWATJester> I dare not ask how you know, all I will suggest is that it may be an optical illusion.
2008-05-08 02:10 < Cyrius> figured you were the best bet for watching it
2008-05-08 02:11 < Mike_H> SWATJester: Surely you know your best friend has a penis.
2008-05-08 02:11 < Mike_H> You don't have to suck it to know it's there.
2008-05-08 02:11 < SWATJester> I had a friend once who was a surprise tranny
2008-05-08 02:11 < Mike_H> A surprise tranny?
2008-05-08 02:11 < Mike_H> Like Crying Game shit?
2008-05-08 02:11 < SWATJester> ironically so was her dad
2008-05-08 02:11 < I_am_Keegan> Cyrius: part maine coon?
2008-05-08 02:11 < SWATJester> surprise tranny. Like, you think she's a girl and boom, there's a dangler.
2008-05-08 02:11 < Cyrius> I_am_Keegan: he's got a lot of the features
2008-05-08 02:11 < Mike_H> So it is like Crying Game shit.
2008-05-08 02:12 < SWATJester> I guess, I didn't see it
2008-05-08 02:12 < I_am_Keegan> He doesn't have the lynx tips
2008-05-08 02:12 < I_am_Keegan> that's it
2008-05-08 02:12 < privatemusings> g'day all.....
2008-05-08 02:12 < privatemusings> hey swatjester... been meaning to catch up with you!
2008-05-08 02:12 < SWATJester> hi PM!
2008-05-08 02:12 < privatemusings> hows tricks?
2008-05-08 02:12 < Mike_H> okay, so I'm feeling really bouncy
2008-05-08 02:12 < Cyrius> I_am_Keegan: eh? I'm talking about my cat that is sitting next to me that you can't see
2008-05-08 02:12 < SWATJester> not so great
2008-05-08 02:12 < Mike_H> who wants to buy me cigarettes?
2008-05-08 02:12 < Mike_H> :DDDDD
2008-05-08 02:12 < I_am_Keegan> Cyrius: ahh
2008-05-08 02:12 < SWATJester> how's the 'cast coming?
2008-05-08 02:12 < privatemusings> i've got some crack you can smoke if you like?
2008-05-08 02:12 < I_am_Keegan> Mike H: seriously, you're calling out a cat conversation?
2008-05-08 02:12 < Mike_H> privatemusings: No thank you, but Newport 100s in the hard pack will be great.
2008-05-08 02:13 < I_am_Keegan> Ah, you need smokes
2008-05-08 02:13 < Mike_H> I_am_Keegan: I'm a dog person.
2008-05-08 02:13 < privatemusings> well have a little look at this swat;
2008-05-08 02:13 < I_am_Keegan> that explains it
2008-05-08 02:13 < privatemusings> http://www.vimeo.com/notthewikipediaweekly
2008-05-08 02:13 < privatemusings> a holding place for a possible vimeo channel all about wikipedia......
2008-05-08 02:13 < privatemusings> (insert breathless hushes here......) :-)
2008-05-08 02:13 < SWATJester> interesting
2008-05-08 02:13 < Mike_H> I_am_Keegan: Yeah, I totally need smokes
2008-05-08 02:13 < Mike_H> like I'm doing autistic twitchy shit
2008-05-08 02:13 * privatemusings reminds mike that cigarettes are bad for you.....
2008-05-08 02:13 < I_am_Keegan> Cyrius: If your cat looks like that and acts like a lazy dog, it's probably a maine coon :D
2008-05-08 02:14 < SWATJester> might work better though, instead of same track for video and audio, to just voiceover it
2008-05-08 02:14 < privatemusings> definitely...
2008-05-08 02:14 < Mike_H> privatemusings: I'm like 90 minutes away from either crying in a ball or hitting someone in the face
2008-05-08 02:14 < SWATJester> and I reiterate my offer to edit
2008-05-08 02:14 < Mike_H> such comments are not helpful at this point, love
2008-05-08 02:14 < Cyrius> I_am_Keegan: he does act somewhat dog-like
2008-05-08 02:14 < privatemusings> fantastic!
2008-05-08 02:14 < SWATJester> my availability to do so goes significantly up after friday
2008-05-08 02:14 < privatemusings> even better!
2008-05-08 02:14 < Cyrius> has the lynx tips, chest ruff, and bushy tail
2008-05-08 02:14 < privatemusings> there's a mini meetup in sydney this evening and I thought I'd try and grab some stuff from that....
2008-05-08 02:15 < privatemusings> just some drinks with me, casliber, angela, tim and a few other folk......
2008-05-08 02:15 < I_am_Keegan> Then you might have yourself an expensive cat on accident :)
2008-05-08 02:15 < SWATJester> Sure, take as much footage as you'd like. I'm going to the DC meetup on the 17th, so depending when your deadline is we might have some stuff to add in from that
2008-05-08 02:15 < privatemusings> I see no reason not to have a couple of videos too.....
2008-05-08 02:15 < Cyrius> I_am_Keegan: he wandered into the yard starving to death
2008-05-08 02:15 < privatemusings> depends on what level of production we're going for.. and how they turn out, I guess......
2008-05-08 02:16 < privatemusings> mine will be 'cell phone' stuff - but I've got a shiny new LG toy which is actually pretty good
2008-05-08 02:16 < privatemusings> (it did the fish)
2008-05-08 02:16 < SWATJester> Sure. Well it's might be cool to have people submit stuff for interview and questions via webcam that could be edited into a full back and forth style interview
2008-05-08 02:16 < SWATJester> or panel debate
2008-05-08 02:16 < SWATJester> etc.
2008-05-08 02:16 < privatemusings> I love that idea... that could sit in the vimeo channel quite nicely too.....
2008-05-08 02:17 < I_am_Keegan> Cyrius: My old female wandered up to a restaurant I was working at, and the young guy came from my girlfriend's irresponsible sister, who got him at the pound
2008-05-08 02:17 < privatemusings> I'll try and set it up.....
2008-05-08 02:17 < privatemusings> should try and figure out a way to get you the 'keys to the channel' too.....
2008-05-08 02:17 < I_am_Keegan> warning: not for the faint of heart:
2008-05-08 02:17 < I_am_Keegan> http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Femalemainecoon.jpg
2008-05-08 02:18 < SWATJester> coolness, though that may not be necessary. You'd probably prefer that if I'm going to edit stuff, I'll just put the end file online somewhere (in full resolution) and then you can upload it to vimeo, that way you still have a full resolution copy floating around
2008-05-08 02:19 < SWATJester> and it lets you control when the new video gets released without ahving to rely on anyone else
2008-05-08 02:26 < furan> shit like this makes me fucking angry
2008-05-08 02:27 < furan> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Hazard_Factory
2008-05-08 02:27 < furan> I went to wikipedia to read about something that oh, was deleted by some contributor because it wasn't noteworthy
2008-05-08 02:27 < Cyrius> how about because the article was full of art-gibberish?
2008-05-08 02:28 < Cyrius> '''Hazard Factory''' is a Seattle based political, metal, machine, & fire arts studio. One of the important crossroads in the vanguard of the Seattle arts community, hazard factor hosts the production of art that is too dirty, heavy, and dangerous to be created most other places.
2008-05-08 02:28 < furan> can you just link me to the old article so I can read it
2008-05-08 02:28 < Cyrius> nope, technical restrictions
2008-05-08 02:28 < furan> and not hear elitist crap remarks
2008-05-08 02:28 < furan> ok, not donating next time.
2008-05-08 02:29 < Cyrius> sigh
2008-05-08 02:33 < I_am_Keegan> It could be worse, furan, he could point you to a mess of guidelines and policy pages
2008-05-08 02:33 < Cyrius> he left
2008-05-08 02:33 < I_am_Keegan> oh yeah, that's turned off isn't it
2008-05-08 02:34 < I_am_Keegan> I thought that was a nice line I had
2008-05-08 02:34 < Mike_H> Okay, I'm extra antsy
2008-05-08 02:34 < Mike_H> I just did a spontaneously choreographed dance to Sultans of Swing
2008-05-08 02:34 < Mike_H> wow.
2008-05-08 02:34 < Mike_H> I need nicotine BAD.
2008-05-08 02:34 < I_am_Keegan> oh man
2008-05-08 02:34 < I_am_Keegan> tape it
2008-05-08 02:34 < I_am_Keegan> put it on youtube
2008-05-08 02:34 < I_am_Keegan> and I'll make an article on it
2008-05-08 02:34 < Mike_H> I_am_Keegan: rofl
2008-05-08 02:35 * denelson83 gives Mike_H a Commit
2008-05-08 02:36 < Cyrius> then you can be the next weird video that everybody watches for some reason
2008-05-08 02:36 < Mike_H> denelson83: I NEED NEWPORT 100S IN THE HARD PACK
2008-05-08 02:38 < I_am_Keegan> go get some
2008-05-08 02:38 < Mike_H> I_am_Keegan: I have like 17 cents
2008-05-08 02:39 < Mike_H> I don't get paid until Friday.
2008-05-08 02:39 < I_am_Keegan> that's sad, really
2008-05-08 02:39 < Mike_H> What is?
2008-05-08 02:39 < I_am_Keegan> you're going to have to go a day
2008-05-08 02:39 < I_am_Keegan> not that you won't be able to bum come tomorrow
2008-05-08 02:39 < Mike_H> Is that sarcasm?
2008-05-08 02:40 < I_am_Keegan> nope
2008-05-08 02:40 < Mike_H> I'm just hoping my check may have come early.
2008-05-08 02:40 < SWATJester> bbl
2008-05-08 03:16 < ClaireQuilty_> What are those two towers called that are connected with a bridge high up in the sky?
2008-05-08 03:16 < ClaireQuilty_> And are there any such buildings with FOUR towers, connected with bridges in the same fashion?
2008-05-08 03:17 < Aqwis> (1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petronas_towers
2008-05-08 03:17 < ClaireQuilty_> Cool...
2008-05-08 03:32 < The359> The Renaissance Center is 5 towers
2008-05-08 03:32 < The359> but I think they have low connections
2008-05-08 03:53 < britta> hi everybody. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zach_Feinstein - not sure if those provided blog sources make the subject notable enough
2008-05-08 03:54 < britta> the guy seems to be promoting his site a lot, and links to the article from it
2008-05-08 03:54 < britta> etc
2008-05-08 03:57 < The359> agreed
2008-05-08 03:57 < The359> kill it
2008-05-08 04:32 < Fabexplosive> hello
2008-05-08 04:35 < Lubaf> King RAAAAMSeeess! The Man in Gauze! The Man in Gauze!
2008-05-08 04:35 * Lubaf wonders if anybody remembers that bit besides him.
2008-05-08 04:36 < AdamBishop> he's no Santa Claus.
2008-05-08 04:39 < White_Cat> AdamBishop
2008-05-08 04:39 < White_Cat> Jimbo is the santa clause
2008-05-08 04:39 < Aqwis> santa class

2008-05-08 04:51 < yao_ziyuan> at zh.wikipedia we're nearing a conclusion:
2008-05-08 04:51 < Fire> test
2008-05-08 04:51 < yao_ziyuan> create 2 subdomains zh0.wikipedia.org and zh1.wikipedia.org
2008-05-08 04:51 < The359> why
2008-05-08 04:51 < yao_ziyuan> as shortcuts to traditional chinese zh.wikipedia.org and simplified chinese zh.wikipedia.org
2008-05-08 04:51 < JessicaTaylor> Hello everybody
2008-05-08 04:52 < The359> why not just use 3 letter designations
2008-05-08 04:52 < yao_ziyuan> currently, if i want to enter the simplified chinese zh.wikipedia.org, i have no way by typing a unique and short url
2008-05-08 04:52 < The359> instead of numbers
2008-05-08 04:52 < yao_ziyuan> The359: you have one?
2008-05-08 04:52 < rainman-sr> yao_ziyuan, you could do similar to sr.wiki, e.g. have zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/Article_name
2008-05-08 04:52 < yao_ziyuan> The359: chs, cht are other (dead) languages
2008-05-08 04:53 < The359> zhs and zht?
2008-05-08 04:53 < JessicaTaylor> Wow you guys are really into....whatever it is
2008-05-08 04:53 < yao_ziyuan> rainman-sr: sounds good
2008-05-08 04:53 < JessicaTaylor> I won't disturb ya :P
2008-05-08 04:53 < yao_ziyuan> The359: zhs, zht may also have their own designations
2008-05-08 04:53 < The359> what?
2008-05-08 04:53 < yao_ziyuan> zh.wikipedia.org/cn would be good
2008-05-08 04:53 < yao_ziyuan> zh.wikipedia/s/
2008-05-08 04:53 < The359> there's no zhs or zht in use
2008-05-08 04:53 < rainman-sr> yao_ziyuan, go to sr.wikipedia.org and try the language tabs
2008-05-08 04:54 < The359> language tabs where?
2008-05-08 04:54 < yao_ziyuan> rainman-sr: good
2008-05-08 04:54 < yao_ziyuan> rainman-sr: i see
2008-05-08 04:54 < The359> ah, I see
2008-05-08 04:55 < yao_ziyuan> i want the same treatment for chinese

2008-05-08 05:08 < Gazimoff> I can't decide.. is Twinkle a good or a bad thing?
2008-05-08 05:10 < Aqwis2> it is EVIL
2008-05-08 05:10 < Gazimoff> Okies, explain :)
2008-05-08 05:11 < Aqwis2> prima facie, etc.
2008-05-08 05:11 < Aqwis2> ayn rand
2008-05-08 05:18 < Lycurgus> what does AR have to do with anything?
2008-05-08 05:18 < Lycurgus> (previous in channel)
2008-05-08 05:19 < Aqwis2> she presented the proof that Twinkle is OBJECTIVELY bad ;)
2008-05-08 05:19 < Lycurgus> the aristotelian tautology (prima facie)?
2008-05-08 05:19 < Lycurgus> ah
2008-05-08 05:20 < Lycurgus> i wonder if AR actually ever constructed a proof? Seems doubtful.
2008-05-08 05:20 < Lycurgus> (i mean a mathematical one)
2008-05-08 05:21 < Aqwis2> ;|
2008-05-08 05:32 * JessicaTaylor is away - Cheer
2008-05-08 05:50 < Garfieldairlines> hello
2008-05-08 05:50 < Garfieldairlines> for you what is "PA Rental" ?
2008-05-08 05:50 < Garfieldairlines> because at french wiki we have a doubt
2008-05-08 07:39 < Lycurgus> for me "PA Rental" is just plain wrong
2008-05-08 07:40 < zocky> http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2008/5/6/teacher_accused_of_wizardry.html <--- brilliant
2008-05-08 07:40 < Lycurgus> nah, doffy No. Florida typicallity
2008-05-08 07:40 < Lycurgus> *doofy
2008-05-08 07:41 < Lycurgus> *typicality
2008-05-08 07:52 < Lycurgus> omg a fox just went by window
2008-05-08 07:52 < Lycurgus> *by my
2008-05-08 07:53 < White_Cat> Lycurgus I suggest c4ing your house
2008-05-08 07:53 < White_Cat> just in case he got in
2008-05-08 07:54 < Lycurgus> what's c4, somekina pesticide?
2008-05-08 07:54 < Lycurgus> (he couldn't have gotten in)
2008-05-08 07:55 < Lycurgus> (or she)
2008-05-08 07:55 < White_Cat> c4 is plastic explosives
2008-05-08 07:55 < White_Cat> it would convert your house into a small crater
2008-05-08 07:55 < Lycurgus> there's lots of stray cats and now the fox

2008-05-08 07:56 < White_Cat> Lycurgus well
2008-05-08 07:56 < White_Cat> you obviously survived
2008-05-08 07:56 < Lycurgus> look out pussy
2008-05-08 07:56 < Lycurgus> it's still cool enough for [[cat meat]]
2008-05-08 07:56 < bumm13> zocky: it's possible that the real issue was the teacher simply not teaching whatever the regular full-time teacher had set out for that day
2008-05-08 07:57 < bumm13> and that the media outlet just wanted it to sound like the reason was somehow related to the parent's complaint
2008-05-08 07:57 < bumm13> (hard to say though)
2008-05-08 08:01 < zocky> bumm13, yeah, who knows... the story is still great though
2008-05-08 08:01 < bumm13> I'm not surprised that one parent complained in central Florida

2008-05-08 09:28 < E_Wing> I think someone should rewrite wp:tpg
2008-05-08 09:28 < E_Wing> Many IP users are abusing this
2008-05-08 09:30 < Voretus> what part of it
2008-05-08 09:31 < E_Wing> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TPG#User_talk_pages
2008-05-08 09:31 < E_Wing> The "user talk pages" part
2008-05-08 09:32 < E_Wing> On that part, it is said that "The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user."
2008-05-08 09:33 < E_Wing> But what if that specified user ignores the warning and continues to vandalize wiki?
2008-05-08 09:33 < Voretus> donno why that would be specific to ips
2008-05-08 09:34 < E_Wing> Or at least removes the warning so that a block can be evaded?
2008-05-08 09:34 < E_Wing> Well it is said that "This specifically includes both registered and anonymous users."
2008-05-08 09:34 < E_Wing> But I think only registered users may only delete their warnings
2008-05-08 09:34 < Voretus> that sentence is a bit dumb, since there's no other type
2008-05-08 09:35 < Voretus> why? registering is extremely easy, so limiting it to registered people seems a bit pointless to me
2008-05-08 09:36 < E_Wing> Well yes, registering is very easy.
2008-05-08 09:37 < E_Wing> But the question is, "Why would you register if you're just going to vandalize wikipedia?"
2008-05-08 09:38 < Voretus> because a lot of wikipedia editors have some weird thing against IP editors, and IPs tend to get blocked quicker
2008-05-08 09:38 < Voretus> at least in my experiences
2008-05-08 09:38 < E_Wing> ehehehe
2008-05-08 09:39 < White_Cat> you experienced getting blocked?
2008-05-08 09:39 < E_Wing> Nope
2008-05-08 09:39 * White_Cat blocks you
2008-05-08 09:39 < E_Wing> Not yet, atleast
2008-05-08 09:40 < Voretus> yeah, i used to edit when i was in high school
2008-05-08 09:40 < Voretus> so the IP got blocked a lot
2008-05-08 09:40 < E_Wing> Although I do accept removal of past warnings
2008-05-08 09:41 < E_Wing> But not warnings made on the same month

2008-05-08 09:43 < White_Cat> He was awarded a contract worth (US$18,600,000.00). Immediately this contract was signed, an initial amount of (US$7.600,000.00) was paid to him as mobilization fee to kick off the contract. He duly completed this contract pending when his remaining balance of (US$11,000,000.00) will be paid to him. On the 21st April 2004, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a ghastly boat capsize at Bassam. Unfortunately, all the occupants

2008-05-08 09:54 < zocky> I am miss Clarice Ugolo the only dauther of late Mr and Mrs Kone Ugolo,my father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan ,the economic capital of lvory coast before he was piosoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discus on a business deal.
2008-05-08 09:54 < zocky> When my mother died on the 21st october 1994, my father took me special because i am motherless but before the death of my father on 30th september 2005 in a private hospital here in Abidjan , he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $12.500.000 (twelve million, five hundred thousand dollars) left in a suspense account in a local bank here in Abidjan,that he used my name as his only child for the next of kin in

2008-05-08 09:54 < E_Wing> zocky: And then?
2008-05-08 09:55 < zocky> there's so much money lying around in nigerian banks!
2008-05-08 09:55 < zocky> I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.
2008-05-08 09:55 < zocky> 1) To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred to.
2008-05-08 09:55 < zocky> 2) To serve as the guardian of this fund since i am a girl of 22 years.
2008-05-08 09:55 < White_Cat> its probably nigerian dollars
2008-05-08 09:56 < White_Cat> zocky I think "serve as the guardian of this fund since i am a girl of 22 years" part would be fun

2008-05-08 11:52 < bluefoxicy> to disconnect the computer from my brakes
2008-05-08 11:52 < bluefoxicy> it's irritating
2008-05-08 11:52 < bluefoxicy> threshold the brakes at a low enough speed and the computer jumps in and goes "oh you're pushing the brakes hard enough lemme help you with that *messes with it*" and now i can't stop fast

2008-05-08 11:55 < quanticle> Lycurgus: Such a ticket has been "under discussion" since Clinton failed to blow Obama out of the water on Super Tuesday.
2008-05-08 11:55 < bluefoxicy> GM had too many problems with ABS causing safety hazards
2008-05-08 11:55 < Lycurgus> yeah, but now it's "serious"
2008-05-08 11:55 < bluefoxicy> so they recalled a million cars (1.4M I think was the number) and made it an option

2008-05-08 11:58 < Lycurgus> (elegiac is how Senator Clintons demeanor over the last few days has been characterized. Jubilation is what is being shown on the ABC site (in an old still).)
2008-05-08 11:58 < quanticle> bluefoxicy: No kidding - I mean, she's *losing*, and she wants to be the top name on any "dream ticket".

2008-05-08 11:58 < Lycurgus> nah, not at this point
2008-05-08 11:58 < bluefoxicy> <Obama> I refer you to the response in Arkell v. Pressdram.

2008-05-08 12:00 < quanticle> Lycurgus: That may be true, but I still think its a tad unrealistic for Obama to meekly roll over and accempt being VP after kicking Clintons ass in so many states.

2008-05-08 12:00 < Lycurgus> it
2008-05-08 12:00 < Lycurgus> Clinton will be VP
2008-05-08 12:01 < quanticle> Lycurgus: Oh. Well, I suppose that's not completely unrealistic. My only question is whether Clinton can stand it. I mean, she's even more proud than Obama.

2008-05-08 12:05 < buntfalke> quanticle: do i need to count manually?!
2008-05-08 12:09 < buntfalke> Hm. I should maybe have logged in. Now with the reviewed versions i actually want the right to vote so i can mark them. damn it. a bunch of edits too few
2008-05-08 12:09 < buntfalke> Weeeell, whatever.
2008-05-08 12:10 < Demi> here's what i've never understood that much about presidential politics, especially when applied to senators. candidates tend to have all these positions and ideas about the future that are things that don't really belong in the executive--education, health care, to name a couple. For example, early on when I was reading candidate positions Obama had this whole spiel about education this, education that.
2008-05-08 12:11 < Demi> what i want to know is, where is the support for these plans and ideas in terms of bills introduced and supported? these things have more to do with funding than anything else, more to do with the legislative branch?
2008-05-08 12:11 < Invisible_Cat> hi Demi <3
2008-05-08 12:11 < Demi> hi Invisible_Cat
2008-05-08 12:11 < Cyrius> most people won't vote for a candidate who says they aren't going to do anything about that stuff because it's not their job
2008-05-08 12:11 < Invisible_Cat> bbl
2008-05-08 12:12 < Demi> Cyrius - fair enough, but if you're going to have this big education idea, or propose yourself as a civil rights leader, shouldn't that be supported by a legislative history of it?
2008-05-08 12:12 < quanticle> Demi: Well, the thing is, the President these days is often a driver for policy and legislation. Presidential backing, or presidential sponsorship of a piece of legislation can certainly help with its passage in many cases (present President excluded, of course).
2008-05-08 12:13 < Cyrius> it should
2008-05-08 12:13 < Demi> yeah, sure, "leadership", keeping party members in line, influence, all that
2008-05-08 12:13 < bumm13> hiya Demi
2008-05-08 12:13 < Demi> i'm not saying the president is naked of this, but it's a bit secondary compared to, say, administrative and executive ability
2008-05-08 12:13 < Cyrius> I don't have a good explanation for why it doesn't
2008-05-08 12:13 < quanticle> Demi: To be fair, I see the same thing with legislative candidates. The Democratic Senate candidate for my state is promising to "get us out of Iraq", despite the fact that he really doesn't have the authority to do so.
2008-05-08 12:14 < quanticle> Er, ...despite the fact that the Senate really doesn't have the authority to do so... rather
2008-05-08 12:14 < quanticle> I mean, the Senate doesn't even control budgeting, so its not like he can even threaten to cut off funding.
2008-05-08 12:15 < Demi> quanticle - the most extreme example in my personal experience is when my local city council spent time passing resolutions condemning the war in iraq
2008-05-08 12:15 < Demi> one of our democratic senate candidates sounds pretty decent this year
2008-05-08 12:16 < quanticle> Demi: Heh. I think the *most* extreme example was of those city councils in Vermont who passed resolutions calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.
2008-05-08 12:16 < quanticle> Demi: What state?
2008-05-08 12:16 < Demi> quanticle - oregon
2008-05-08 12:16 < Demi> jeff merkley is who i'm thinking of (i think)
2008-05-08 12:16 < quanticle> Demi: I'm in Minnesota. Our Democratic Senate candidate is Al Franken <shudder>.
2008-05-08 12:16 < Demi> haha
2008-05-08 12:17 < bumm13> lol
2008-05-08 12:17 < Demi> there might be worse things than al franken
2008-05-08 12:17 < quanticle> Demi: And he's running against Norm Coleman - the same Norm Coleman that spent time condemning Kofi Annan.
2008-05-08 12:17 < Demi> is he an "U.S. out of UN!" type guy?
2008-05-08 12:17 < quanticle> Demi: Indeed.
2008-05-08 12:17 < quanticle> Demi: He's also got his head shoved up Bush's arse.
2008-05-08 12:18 < quanticle> Yeah, my choices for the Legislative branch aren't very appealing.

2008-05-08 12:42 < ViciousGu> I am not very happy with Stifle's behavior
2008-05-08 12:42 < ViciousGu> He nominated the Pai Ping-ping article for a speedy again
2008-05-08 12:42 < ViciousGu> for "not asserting notability"
2008-05-08 12:43 < ViciousGu> And this was the intro: "Pai Ping-ping (???, Hanyu Pinyin: Bái Bingbing) is an actress[1], entertainer[2], and personality from Taiwan, Republic of China."
2008-05-08 12:43 < ViciousGu> When someone is an actress and personality from Taiwan.... since when is that not notable?
2008-05-08 12:43 < quanticle> ViciousGu: Does she have coverage in the media? Are there plenty of sources?
2008-05-08 12:44 < ViciousGu> In the English-language media - many
2008-05-08 12:44 < ViciousGu> Most of them had to do with reporting of her daughter's murder
2008-05-08 12:44 < ViciousGu> But there are a few others that do not mention her daughters murder
2008-05-08 12:44 < ViciousGu> But in Chinese I would imagine there would be even more
2008-05-08 12:46 < Traveler8> surely you should be arguing this on the discussion page for deletion
2008-05-08 12:46 < Traveler8> thats the way to get it resolved
2008-05-08 12:47 < ViciousGu> I began arguing after the second nomination
2008-05-08 12:48 < ViciousGu> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pai_Ping-ping
2008-05-08 12:48 < ViciousGu> But the reason why it was nominated was not "lack of sources" it was "lack of assertion of notability"
2008-05-08 12:49 < ViciousGu> And the latter -- Man, PLEASE
2008-05-08 12:49 < Traveler8> fair enough
2008-05-08 12:49 < bomma> hmm
2008-05-08 12:49 < Traveler8> just try to flesh it our more
2008-05-08 12:49 * Fabexplosive back
2008-05-08 12:50 < ViciousGu> What is the template for translation from another language Wikipedia article?
2008-05-08 12:50 < ViciousGu> I'd like to add a template requesting translation from Chinese
2008-05-08 12:50 < Traveler8> most of the sources are about this mureder yeat the murder isn;t explained in the article
2008-05-08 12:50 < ViciousGu> There's a separate article about the girl who was murdered - [[Pai Hsiao-yen]]
2008-05-08 12:50 < Traveler8> ahh
2008-05-08 12:50 < ViciousGu> That explains the murder in more detail
2008-05-08 12:51 < Traveler8> picture?
2008-05-08 12:51 < ViciousGu> Traveler: There is one for the daughter, but in the case of the mother I don't know where to find a free image
2008-05-08 12:51 < Traveler8> you have more references about the murder than the girls ariticle
2008-05-08 12:52 < ViciousGu> I didn't create the article about the girl's murder, but I'll see if I can get sources for that
2008-05-08 12:52 < ViciousGu> It shouldn't be difficult to find sources for that
2008-05-08 12:53 < Voretus> im gonna remove the speedy cause it does assert notability and i guess i can do that (also the china post sources show her as notable)
2008-05-08 12:53 < Traveler8> also on the talk page where you are arguing for it rather than arguing say what you will do to flesh it our and get it from a stub to an article
2008-05-08 12:53 < ViciousGu> Yeah - which is what I am doing
2008-05-08 12:53 < Traveler8> try sayiong what this actress has actually done, what her works are
2008-05-08 12:58 < ViciousGu> Yeah - I found a good article from the Independent
2008-05-08 12:58 < ViciousGu> Which explains some of what she did
2008-05-08 13:04 < ViciousGu> Thanks, guys
2008-05-08 13:04 < ViciousGu> Now the issue should be over
2008-05-08 13:04 < Traveler8> good luck with it
2008-05-08 13:06 < Working_Cat> meow?
2008-05-08 13:12 < Traveler8> kapow?
2008-05-08 13:17 < E_Wing> Does anyone know any easy-to-use vector graphics software?
2008-05-08 13:17 < Voretus> no
2008-05-08 13:17 < Traveler8> inkscape
2008-05-08 13:18 < Traveler8> http://www.inkscape.org/
2008-05-08 13:18 < Cyrius> is there such a thing as easy-to-use vector graphics software?
2008-05-08 13:18 < Traveler8> see above ;)
2008-05-08 13:20 < str4nd> GNU ed is a good one ;) (not really)
2008-05-08 13:20 < Cyrius> ed is the standard
2008-05-08 13:20 < Jacroe> why can't php do a file_get_contents on a wikipedia page?
2008-05-08 13:20 < E_Wing> Actually, I'm having trouble at using Adobe Photoshop CS3
2008-05-08 13:21 < str4nd> Jacroe: Because allow_url_fopen is disabled by php.ini
2008-05-08 13:22 < str4nd> Jacroe: Use cURL instead

2008-05-08 13:24 < Traveler8> nowt, good day
2008-05-08 13:26 < E_Wing> Can somebody be banned for just using wikipedia as a talkpage?
2008-05-08 13:26 < E_Wing> With no constructive edits on the mainspace?
2008-05-08 13:26 < Traveler8> what do you mean using it as a talk page?
2008-05-08 13:26 * Cyrius declines to answer the hypothetical
2008-05-08 13:27 < E_Wing> Erm, I mean using his talkpage as a chatroom
2008-05-08 13:27 < E_Wing> Sorry about that
2008-05-08 13:28 < Traveler8> eh, that is a bit odd
2008-05-08 13:28 < Traveler8> have a look on here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines
2008-05-08 13:29 < Traveler8> probably not, but its a bit of a rubbish way to chat across the internet
2008-05-08 13:31 < Working_Cat> he sure would get a smack in the head for being stupid
2008-05-08 13:31 < Working_Cat> E_Wing: whats your WP username?
2008-05-08 13:31 < E_Wing> User: E Wing
2008-05-08 13:32 < E_Wing> I've just tagged an Mfd to both talkpages
2008-05-08 13:32 < E_Wing> Working_Cat: Why?
2008-05-08 13:33 < Lycurgus> so e can vandalise it
2008-05-08 13:33 < Working_Cat> to see if you are using it as a chatroom :P
2008-05-08 13:33 < E_Wing> :-)
2008-05-08 13:34 < Sfan00> Right
2008-05-08 13:34 < Sfan00> Anyone help me remove some links to questionable items
2008-05-08 13:34 < Sfan00> ?
2008-05-08 13:34 < Working_Cat> A court of law in Trenton, New Jersey. Whilst you may sue in a court of law, Wikipedia is not the place for legal disputes.
2008-05-08 13:34 < Working_Cat> Sfan00 = shakespearefan?
2008-05-08 13:34 < Sfan00> I'm planning on removing links to certain sites following the changes afoot in the UK
2008-05-08 13:35 * Working_Cat welcomes DanteAlighieri
2008-05-08 13:35 < Sfan00> Any objections?
2008-05-08 13:35 < Working_Cat> oh sorry, im not in my usual nick atm :P
2008-05-08 13:35 < Cyrius> Sfan00: based on past history, you're probably blowing something out of proportion
2008-05-08 13:35 < Sfan00> Cyrius: I am taking a precautinry approach
2008-05-08 13:35 < Sfan00> ;)

2008-05-08 14:08 < TheWeasel> "His alleged motive was unclear." That's an awesome sentence.
2008-05-08 14:10 < Demi> Some claim.
2008-05-08 14:11 < White_Cat> Some claim his alleged motive was unclear
2008-05-08 14:11 < White_Cat> Some unsure if the claim that\ his alleged motive was unclear
2008-05-08 14:11 < White_Cat> Some are unsure if the claim that\ his alleged motive was unclear. In reality we are wasting your time with riddles.
2008-05-08 14:11 < quanticle> OMG someone brought pie to our breakroom at work
2008-05-08 14:11 < quanticle> APPLE PIE
2008-05-08 14:12 < White_Cat> pi*e?
2008-05-08 14:12 * quanticle excited
2008-05-08 14:12 < White_Cat> pi * e = 8.53973422
2008-05-08 14:12 * quanticle emits a photon as he returns to his ground state
2008-05-08 14:12 < White_Cat> hence
2008-05-08 14:12 < White_Cat> pie = 8.53973422
2008-05-08 14:12 * White_Cat deflects the photon back to the honey tree
2008-05-08 14:13 * White_Cat points out that quanticle emits photos all the time
2008-05-08 14:13 < White_Cat> sp long as you are alive that is
2008-05-08 14:15 < quanticle> White_Cat: False. I am a quantum particle. I don't normally emit photons. Perhaps you are thinking of Schroedinger_Cat?
2008-05-08 14:15 < White_Cat> quantum particles do not exist
2008-05-08 14:16 < White_Cat> its a myth created by quantum physisists
2008-05-08 14:16 < White_Cat> so they sound smart
2008-05-08 14:17 * quanticle hits White_Cat with a bucket of luminiferous aether.
2008-05-08 14:28 < TheWeasel> Cthulhu '08 - No More Years!
2008-05-08 14:29 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Vote for the *greater* Evil: Cthulhu '80?
2008-05-08 14:29 < quanticle> er, !
2008-05-08 14:30 < TheWeasel> yea, no more choosing the lesser evil.
2008-05-08 14:30 < gwern> quanticle: fail
2008-05-08 14:30 < quanticle> Wait, what?
