2008-05-08 22:29 < Monobi> quanticle, I honestly doubt McCain is raising much money
2008-05-08 22:29 < Ceiling_Cat> he broke NFL rules, and in the process almost-certainly won a superbowl he should not have, depriving them of income
2008-05-08 22:29 < Alkivar> http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc51/mode8787/volcanoUPI_800x531.jpg <-- someone needs to find a really huge resolution copy of that image
2008-05-08 22:29 < Lucifer_Cat> gwern: hmmm point. i will make her hair lighter next time
2008-05-08 22:29 < Alkivar> i want it for my desktop
2008-05-08 22:29 < Alkivar> lol
2008-05-08 22:29 < gwern> mccain is lazy - like a fox!
2008-05-08 22:29 < quanticle> Monobi: Even then, the others Republican candidates were raising lots of money, just that most of it wasn't coming from online sources like Paul's was.
2008-05-08 22:29 < Ceiling_Cat> gwern - MAOR KATZ!
2008-05-08 22:29 < gwern> HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN
2008-05-08 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> moar katz, not more volume
2008-05-08 22:30 < gwern> Ceiling_Cat: that enough CATS? :)
2008-05-08 22:30 < Monobi> quanticle, yes, but Paul's was mainly from individuals
2008-05-08 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> WHERE IN THE DEVILS NAME IS LOUD_CAT
2008-05-08 22:30 < quanticle> Monobi: Indeed it was. But that doesn't mean that there was more money in total.
2008-05-08 22:31 < gwern> Lucifer_Cat: stfu newfag, I was making an All Your Base joke apropose Ceiling_Cat's request
2008-05-08 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> Monobi: does it matter?
2008-05-08 22:31 < gwern> *apropos
2008-05-08 22:31 < Monobi> Lucifer_Cat, yes
2008-05-08 22:31 < LOUD_CAT> GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS EVERYONE!!!
2008-05-08 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> Monobi: for all the individual funds, he sure did get a hell lot of votes.
2008-05-08 22:31 < Monobi> Lucifer_Cat, :(
2008-05-08 22:31 * quanticle MUTES LOUD_CAT
2008-05-08 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> Monobi: :)
2008-05-08 22:31 < gwern> LOUD_CAT: YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME
2008-05-08 22:31 < gwern> HA HA HA
2008-05-08 22:32 < quanticle> MOVE ZIG FOR GREAT JUSTICE, LOUD_CAT
2008-05-08 22:32 < LOUD_CAT> A MUTED LOUD_CAT IS NO LOUD_CAT AT ALL
2008-05-08 22:32 * quanticle UNMUTES LOUD_CAT
2008-05-08 22:32 < Lucifer_Cat> HENCE SHOULD NOT EXIST
2008-05-08 22:32 * LOUD_CAT TURNS THE VOLUME UP TO 11
2008-05-08 22:33 < quanticle> Ok. Enough CAPS-LOCK for me
2008-05-08 22:33 < LOUD_CAT> THE LOUDER YOU ARE, THE RIGHTER YOU ARE
2008-05-08 22:34 < Mike_H> ugh.
2008-05-08 22:34 < quanticle> LOUD_CAT: Even with cruise control you still have to steer.
2008-05-08 22:35 < quanticle> MIERDA4PLUS?
2008-05-08 22:35 < The359> OH SHIT I'M OUT OF CONTROL
2008-05-08 22:35 < The359> LOOKS OUT
2008-05-08 22:36 < Monobi> !o_p The359 is out of control
2008-05-08 22:36 < The359> SHE'S COMING IN TOO FAST
2008-05-08 22:36 < quanticle> The359: Heh. Brace for impact!
2008-05-08 22:37 < Monobi> quanticle, mccain was really the 2nd worst opponent for the democrats because he is so middle of the road
2008-05-08 22:37 < Alkivar> ITS OVER 9000 DAMAGE
2008-05-08 22:37 < quanticle> Monobi: 2nd worst?
2008-05-08 22:37 < LOUD_CAT> FULL POWER TO THE SHIELDS!
2008-05-08 22:37 < LOUD_CAT> LOCK ALL PHASERS ON THE359
2008-05-08 22:37 < Alkivar> I'M CHARGIN MUH LAZER
2008-05-08 22:37 < The359> IT'S TOO MUCH CAPT'N
2008-05-08 22:37 < Monobi> quanticle, Paul would be the worst for democrats, because he is against Iraq and he even voted against authorizing it, while Clinton voted for the war
2008-05-08 22:38 < quanticle> Monobi: Right, but he'd have been carved up on social issues. The sort of libertarianism he was proposing just doesn't fly with the American public.
2008-05-08 22:38 < Ceiling_Cat> Alkivar - was that your comment on bash.org?
2008-05-08 22:38 < Ceiling_Cat> about hte pilot's license
2008-05-08 22:38 < Monobi> quanticle, I think Americans care more about the economy than whether 2 men can marry
2008-05-08 22:39 < Alkivar> http://bustedtees.com/Wikipedia
2008-05-08 22:39 < Alkivar> Ceiling Cat: yes
2008-05-08 22:39 < Alkivar> its a true story as well
2008-05-08 22:39 < Monobi> I personally don't believe in marriage, or at least government recognized marriages
2008-05-08 22:39 < Alkivar> i still dont know how we got out of a ticket
2008-05-08 22:39 < quanticle> Monobi: Right. That's what I'm talking about. I don't think many people would be happy with things like going back to the gold standard or privatising social welfare programs.
2008-05-08 22:39 < Alkivar> i think the cop was just too damn shocked at the total foot in mouth moment
2008-05-08 22:40 < Filll> hey where do I go to report a unified account problem
2008-05-08 22:40 < Filll> a friend cannot log in to wikipedia with their account
2008-05-08 22:40 < Filll> it is broken for some reason
2008-05-08 22:40 < LOUD_CAT> HELLO FILLL!!!!
2008-05-08 22:40 < Filll> they can get into commons though
2008-05-08 22:40 < Alkivar> http://bustedtees.com/Wikipedia <-- nice tshirt
2008-05-08 22:40 < LOUD_CAT> WELCOME TO IRC!
2008-05-08 22:40 < Filll> thanks
2008-05-08 22:40 * LOUD_CAT WAVES LOUDLY
2008-05-08 22:40 < Filll> where can I go for technical help on login
2008-05-08 22:40 < Monobi> quanticle, what is wrong with privatizing welfare programs?
2008-05-08 22:40 < Lucifer_Cat> Alkivar: you are the reason i joined #wikipedia.
2008-05-08 22:40 < Lucifer_Cat> you and zocky
2008-05-08 22:40 < quanticle> Filll: There is no unified account system for the various wikis.
2008-05-08 22:40 < Monobi> quanticle, and why do people not like having their money be worth something
2008-05-08 22:41 < gwern> quanticle: SUL?
2008-05-08 22:41 < Filll> yes quanticle there is
2008-05-08 22:41 < Filll> it is being tested
2008-05-08 22:41 < LOUD_CAT> FILLL - CAN YOU EXPLAIN YOUR PROBLEM IN GREATER DETAIL
2008-05-08 22:41 < gwern> admins have it, iirc
2008-05-08 22:41 < Filll> but it exists
2008-05-08 22:41 < Filll> A friend ..DUROVA...has accounts on both wikipedia and commons and several others
2008-05-08 22:41 < Filll> and she can log in to commons but not English wikipedia
2008-05-08 22:42 < kylu> wait... you're saying durova can't log into enwiki?
2008-05-08 22:42 * Lucifer_Cat likes the silence that name inspires
2008-05-08 22:42 < LOUD_CAT> DID SHE TRY TO UNIFY HER COMMONS AND EN ACCOUNTS?
2008-05-08 22:42 < Monobi> LOUD_CAT, DELWARE IS NICE
2008-05-08 22:42 < Mike_H> Delaware is nicer.
2008-05-08 22:42 * Lucifer_Cat is aware of dell
2008-05-08 22:42 < Monobi> That's what I meant
2008-05-08 22:42 < Monobi> haha
2008-05-08 22:42 < quanticle> Monobi: I don't know. I do know that America is a democratic republic, and proposing policies as contrary to the bulk of public opinion as Pauls is not likely at all to get you into leadership.
2008-05-08 22:42 < Monobi> LOUD_CAT, DELAWARE IS NIcE
2008-05-08 22:42 < Lucifer_Cat> DelWare. is that S/W meant to be deleted?
2008-05-08 22:42 < Filll> apparently she signed up for a unified account
2008-05-08 22:43 < Filll> and it is not working right now
2008-05-08 22:43 < Monobi> quanticle, the republic part is more important than the democratic part
2008-05-08 22:43 * Lucifer_Cat facepalms.
2008-05-08 22:43 < gwern> I forget, do we want durova logging in?
2008-05-08 22:43 < quanticle> Monobi: Right, but, short of a coup, you're not getting that part back.
2008-05-08 22:43 < LOUD_CAT> IN ORDER TO UNIFY THE ACCOUNTS, THE PASSWORD AND EMAIL ADDRESS HAVE TO THE SAME
2008-05-08 22:43 < quanticle> gwern: I dunno.
2008-05-08 22:43 < Alkivar> lol yay durova = broken
2008-05-08 22:43 < kylu> fill: have her put a request on bugzilla. :)
2008-05-08 22:43 < Alkivar> serves the bitch right
2008-05-08 22:43 < Monobi> quanticle, even if a majority doesn't approve, the government can do something if it protects human rights
2008-05-08 22:43 < LOUD_CAT> IF THE UNIFICCATION COMPLETED, SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REQUEST A NEW PASSWORD BY EMAIL
2008-05-08 22:43 < Filll> how do i get to bugzilla?
2008-05-08 22:43 < Monobi> quanticle, the USA will be non-existent in 50 years
2008-05-08 22:44 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle, Monobi: you both are gonna get buted if you do this again. its like watching a fucking couple go through fucking marriage problems. arguing about the same fucking thing every fucking day.
2008-05-08 22:44 < LOUD_CAT> (EVEN IF IT DID NOT, SHE SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO)
2008-05-08 22:44 < kylu> have her try bugzilla.mozilla.org I think.
2008-05-08 22:44 < Lucifer_Cat> *muted
2008-05-08 22:44 < Monobi> Lucifer_Cat, I don't really consider it that
2008-05-08 22:44 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Even if we're agreeing? O_w
2008-05-08 22:44 < Monobi> More of a discussion
2008-05-08 22:44 < quanticle> er O_o
2008-05-08 22:44 < Ceiling_Cat> Filll - http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/
2008-05-08 22:44 < Ceiling_Cat> But that's for mediawiki bugs
2008-05-08 22:44 < Monobi> I'M NOT YELLING AT quanticle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111oneoneone
2008-05-08 22:45 < Ceiling_Cat> For technical help, #wikimedia-tech is a good place to catch developers
2008-05-08 22:45 < Filll> oh ok thanks
2008-05-08 22:45 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Also note the lack of personal attacks and the lack of disruption to the wider channel.
2008-05-08 22:45 < Lucifer_Cat> Monobi: your continued support for Paul is considered passive-aggressive behavior. so stop :P
2008-05-08 22:46 < Lucifer_Cat> whats Ceiling_Cat got to do with i
2008-05-08 22:46 < Monobi> Lucifer_Cat, your support of Clinton is considered passive-aggressive
2008-05-08 22:46 < Lucifer_Cat> it
2008-05-08 22:46 < Monobi> or obama
2008-05-08 22:46 < Monobi> whoever
2008-05-08 22:46 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: He's free to support whoever he likes. And you're free to think him an idiot for it.
2008-05-08 22:46 < Lucifer_Cat> 9_9
2008-05-08 22:46 < Alkivar> Lucifer_Cat: if you really want to facepalm i've got the ultimate link
2008-05-08 22:46 < Alkivar> http://sify.com/movies/hollywood/fullstory.php?id=14669560
2008-05-08 22:46 < Lucifer_Cat> kids these days...
2008-05-08 22:46 < Filll> ok durova asks what email she should email to get a new password for a unified account
2008-05-08 22:46 < Alkivar> PARIS HILTON WANTS A BABY
2008-05-08 22:46 < Alkivar> and i quote: "I have a lot of beautiful animals that I look after and I feel I would have a lot to give to my children."
2008-05-08 22:46 < gwern> Alkivar: to eat?
2008-05-08 22:46 < Alkivar> yeah like herpes
2008-05-08 22:46 < gwern> er, I mean: that's hot.
2008-05-08 22:47 < Lucifer_Cat> Alkivar: its sify.... and has hollywood... and fullstory.... no way im clicking that
2008-05-08 22:47 < LOUD_CAT> FILLL - IF THE ACCOUNTS UNIFIED CORRECTLY, EITHER ONE SHOULD BE FINE
2008-05-08 22:47 < LOUD_CAT> BECAUSE THE EMAIL AND PASSWORD WILL BE HTE SAME FOR BOTH
2008-05-08 22:47 < Filll> hmmmm
2008-05-08 22:48 < Filll> not sure what to tell her
2008-05-08 22:48 < quanticle> Alkivar: Heh. I'm wondering if I should preemptively called Child Protection Services or not.
2008-05-08 22:48 < Alkivar> Filll: tell her we dont need you... fuck off
2008-05-08 22:48 < Ceiling_Cat> Alkivar - stop
2008-05-08 22:48 < Alkivar> feel free to say i said so
2008-05-08 22:48 < quanticle> Alkivar: Whoa. Wait to riddle the messenger with bullet holes.
2008-05-08 22:48 < Lucifer_Cat> Way*
2008-05-08 22:48 < Filll> very funny alkivar
2008-05-08 22:48 < quanticle> Er, Way to riddle the messenger...
2008-05-08 22:49 < Lucifer_Cat> phail quanticle
2008-05-08 22:49 * quanticle hangs his head in shame
2008-05-08 22:49 < Alkivar> you think i'm joking
2008-05-08 22:49 < Alkivar> i'm not
2008-05-08 22:49 * gwern chomps on my cigar. tell muggsy I've got a message for him: *BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM* you stupid schmuck
2008-05-08 22:49 < quanticle> Alkivar: That's even worse then.
2008-05-08 22:49 < Alkivar> durova is the reason i quit
2008-05-08 22:49 < quanticle> gwern: Say hello to my little friend!
2008-05-08 22:49 < gwern> quanticle: that's a good one too
2008-05-08 22:50 < quanticle> Alkivar: So you're going to stoop to her level? Telling people to "fuck off" isn't much better than what she did, y'know.
2008-05-08 22:50 < Lucifer_Cat> ok someone care to repeat the story to this noob?
2008-05-08 22:50 < gwern> you know, it's been a while - I remember being antipathetic to durova, but I've forgotten what exactly she did
2008-05-08 22:50 < gwern> something with her SEO stuff?
2008-05-08 22:50 < Alkivar> started a witchhunt... oh wait we cant call it that
2008-05-08 22:50 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Heh, funnily enough, Durova was the reason I joined this channel.
2008-05-08 22:51 < Monobi> UTAH WINS
2008-05-08 22:51 < Monobi> http://www.stategunlaws.org/viewstate.php?st=UT
2008-05-08 22:51 < Monobi> EPIC WIN
2008-05-08 22:51 < gwern> or was that secret emailing list thing I vaguely recall?
2008-05-08 22:51 < Alkivar> that was it
2008-05-08 22:51 < Ceiling_Cat> Enough. In all seriousness, we are not going to become the admin channel, gossiping about people behind their back.
2008-05-08 22:52 * Ceiling_Cat gets off his chanop perch
2008-05-08 22:52 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: when i joined this chan... you asked me to get an account... and that you made the mistake of editing as anon and got into a tiff with some admin... thats her?
2008-05-08 22:52 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Here's a link to a Register article that summarizes, with an anti-Wikipedia slant: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/04/wikipedia_secret_mailing/
2008-05-08 22:52 < gwern> right right... she was hunting some sock puppeteer, found a suspect, fired off an email to the secret list, and then banned based on vague assent, iirc
2008-05-08 22:52 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: That wasn't me, I think.
2008-05-08 22:52 < Krimpet> Filll, ask her to go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin and click "E-mail new password."
2008-05-08 22:52 < Ceiling_Cat> Krimpet - thank you
2008-05-08 22:53 < Krimpet> that should reset the global password.
2008-05-08 22:53 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: One of the notable things about that article is that it has an interview with NotACow
2008-05-08 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> hmmm
2008-05-08 22:54 < Alkivar> i'm not going to relive that shit.... i'm over it.... just dont expect me to have even a modicum of decency with regard to durova... she didnt have any with regards to me
2008-05-08 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: heh, it was on the very next line i stopped reading at to look at your msg.
2008-05-08 22:55 < quanticle> Alkivar: Fine. But, in return, don't go ballistic whenever someone mentions or asks about Durova. If you can't respond in a decent manner, don't respond at all.
2008-05-08 22:55 < SynergeticMag> quanticle: whats more neutral/objective for a living bio? murderer, or convicted murderer?
2008-05-08 22:56 < Alkivar> SynergeticMag: was the man convicted?
2008-05-08 22:56 < SynergeticMag> yup
2008-05-08 22:56 < Alkivar> then say convicted murderer
2008-05-08 22:56 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: Didn't you get kicked from #wikipedia-en for this discussion?
2008-05-08 22:56 < SynergeticMag> no, that was for saying i was going to ignore someone
2008-05-08 22:56 < Alkivar> if the guy killed a bunch of people and then himself (but was never convicted) i wouldnt use convicted
2008-05-08 22:56 < SynergeticMag> and i got banned
2008-05-08 22:56 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: Ah, right.
2008-05-08 22:56 < gwern> SynergeticMag: is this hans reiser?
2008-05-08 22:56 * gwern sighs
2008-05-08 22:56 < SynergeticMag> swern, yes
2008-05-08 22:56 < quanticle> gwern: Indeed it is.
2008-05-08 22:57 < SynergeticMag> gwern*
2008-05-08 22:57 < Alkivar> i still think hans got screwed in that trial
2008-05-08 22:57 < Lucifer_Cat> killjoy
2008-05-08 22:57 < Alkivar> but i'd say convicted with regards to his article
2008-05-08 22:57 < quanticle> Alkivar: Really? I thought Hans did a good job of screwing himself in that trial.
2008-05-08 22:57 < gwern> Alkivar: they'll have to invent a new term for reiser: suicide by testimony, perhaps
2008-05-08 22:57 < Krimpet> if only the mailing lists had the same rules. :(
2008-05-08 22:57 < The359> So we have to be upfront about it?
2008-05-08 22:57 < The359> Mike_H sucks. A lot.
2008-05-08 22:58 < Lucifer_Cat> hans, like lewinsky, shoud have never opened his mouth.
2008-05-08 22:58 < quanticle> Krimpet: Except that its unlikely that Hans will get the death penalty.
2008-05-08 22:58 < Alkivar> quanticle: i agree... either way the trial had 0 real evidence... just a bunch of jurists who disliked the defendant
2008-05-08 22:58 < Krimpet> quanticle: reiser had sekrit mailing lists too? :p
2008-05-08 22:58 < Alkivar> i'm sorry but any murder trial with 1) no body 2) no murder weapon and 3) no witness shouldnt go to trial in my book
2008-05-08 22:58 < Ceiling_Cat> Lucifer_Cat - re:Killjoy -- I don't want this channel to go into disrepute like the admins channel
2008-05-08 22:58 < Filll> krimpet she says that option is not on that page
2008-05-08 22:58 < quanticle> Alkivar: The prosecution case had hole in it, too, like the lack of a body. Its just that Hans screwed up his alibis and explanations so much, it was hard to believe that he wasn't guilty.
2008-05-08 22:59 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Admins channel?
2008-05-08 22:59 < Alkivar> quite frankly if the guy is good enough to hide the body and weapon and not get caught by a witness... the guy deserves to walk
2008-05-08 22:59 < Lucifer_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: - re:re:Killjoy -- i was kidding :S
2008-05-08 22:59 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - #wikipedia-en-admins
2008-05-08 22:59 < gwern> the problem with the murder weapon is: if you assume hans as a judoka simply strangled her, why the blood?
2008-05-08 22:59 < Krimpet> Filll: hmm, it should be next to "Log in"

2008-05-08 22:59 < Alkivar> gwern: there were enough holes in that case to drive a semi through
2008-05-08 22:59 < quanticle> Alkivar: Well, to be fair, a grand jury did find that there was enough evidence to pursue trial in this case.
2008-05-08 22:59 < Alkivar> The359: Hans Reiser

2008-05-08 23:03 < Lucifer_Cat> lets talk about porn bots ok
2008-05-08 23:04 < quanticle> I'd almost rather talk about Hans Reiser.

2008-05-08 23:06 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Are you browsing Suicide Gals?
2008-05-08 23:06 < SynergeticMag> hey i like suicide girls
2008-05-08 23:07 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: Only because you maggots feast on the flesh of the recently deceased
2008-05-08 23:07 < SynergeticMag> true
2008-05-08 23:07 < Hiker1352> Is there a place to test out template code?
2008-05-08 23:07 < SynergeticMag> yes
2008-05-08 23:07 < SynergeticMag> i mean
2008-05-08 23:07 < SynergeticMag> no
2008-05-08 23:07 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: yeah, i remember maggie talking about it once, and his food comment reminded me of it. so im checking out.
2008-05-08 23:07 < Hiker1352> So which is it?
2008-05-08 23:07 < SynergeticMag> wp:sandbox
2008-05-08 23:08 < SynergeticMag> or
2008-05-08 23:08 < SynergeticMag> Hiker1352/Sandbox
2008-05-08 23:08 < Lucifer_Cat> or [[user:synergeticmaggot]]
2008-05-08 23:08 < SynergeticMag> that will be reverted on site
2008-05-08 23:08 < Hiker1352> How can I call my test templates with parameters?
2008-05-08 23:08 < SynergeticMag> no idea
2008-05-08 23:09 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: you actually pay for this?
2008-05-08 23:09 < Hiker1352> Well, that's not very helpful then =/
2008-05-08 23:09 < quanticle> Hiker1352: Use two sandboxes
2008-05-08 23:09 < SynergeticMag> food? yes i do
2008-05-08 23:09 < Hiker1352> quanticle: Can I call one sandbox with parameters?
2008-05-08 23:09 < quanticle> Hiker1352: One contains the template code, and then have another one calling
2008-05-08 23:09 < Hiker1352> Such as {{User:Hiker1352/Sandbox|paramone=1231}} ?
2008-05-08 23:09 < The359> hmm
2008-05-08 23:09 < quanticle> Hiker1352: Yeah. Something like that.
2008-05-08 23:09 < The359> Police Commissioner of Philadelphia had a nice reponse to a question at a press conference today
2008-05-08 23:10 < Lucifer_Cat> i meant suicide gals you maggot
2008-05-08 23:10 < Hiker1352> okay, time to test :)
2008-05-08 23:10 < The359> Regarding a discussion over restrictions on assault rifles
2008-05-08 23:10 < SynergeticMag> lucy: no, i don't pay for anything like that
2008-05-08 23:10 < The359> A reporter pointed out that the Chinese SKS rifle which killed a Philadelphia police officer a few days ago was not classified as an assault weapon.
2008-05-08 23:10 < Lucifer_Cat> you get to see them for free somewhere?
2008-05-08 23:10 < SynergeticMag> yes :)
2008-05-08 23:10 < The359> The Commissioner reponded by saying "Then it needs to be put on the freakin list."
2008-05-08 23:11 < Lucifer_Cat> where where
2008-05-08 23:11 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-05-08 23:11 < SynergeticMag> flikr has some, and often there are a bunch on limewire
2008-05-08 23:11 < The359> since the gun carried armor piercing bullets
2008-05-08 23:11 < Lucifer_Cat> The359: refer him to [[List of assault rifles_(by name)]] and ask him to edit the freakin list
2008-05-08 23:11 < SynergeticMag> and i have friends who know a few
2008-05-08 23:12 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: know SG in person?
2008-05-08 23:12 < SynergeticMag> and others who have accounts and give the pics away for free
2008-05-08 23:12 < Lucifer_Cat> heh
2008-05-08 23:12 < quanticle> The359: Its not an "assault rifle" by any means. Its roughly equivalent to a M1 Garand.
2008-05-08 23:12 < quanticle> The359: It doesn't have burst mode or full auto firing.
2008-05-08 23:12 < denelson83[DC]> Wikidown :(

2008-05-08 23:13 < denelson83> Wikiback :)
2008-05-08 23:13 < Lucifer_Cat> denelson83: no
2008-05-08 23:13 < Lucifer_Cat> yeah
2008-05-08 23:13 < quanticle> Hell, I've seen hunting rifles that look more menacing than that gun.
2008-05-08 23:13 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: hmmm
2008-05-08 23:14 < The359> SKS rifles with detachable magazines are banned in the US states of California and New Jersey. They are also banned in Cook County , Illinois, which includes Chicago and many suburbs.
2008-05-08 23:14 * The359 guesses PA will be added to that list soon
2008-05-08 23:14 < quanticle> The359: I can put armor piercing bullets in a 30-06 Springfield. Does that mean that those should be banned too?
2008-05-08 23:15 * The359 would ban the armor piercing rounds
2008-05-08 23:16 < quanticle> Right. Ban the ammo, if that's the problem. I don't see anything wrong with the gun.
2008-05-08 23:16 < SynergeticMag> i do
2008-05-08 23:16 < SynergeticMag> you can still hit people with it
2008-05-08 23:16 < Mike_H> ugh, guns
2008-05-08 23:16 < Mike_H> can't we talk about something more foofoo
2008-05-08 23:17 < SynergeticMag> like to overthrow of the NRA?
2008-05-08 23:17 < Mike_H> Charlton Heston is dead.
2008-05-08 23:17 < Mike_H> You don't need to anymore.
2008-05-08 23:17 < Mike_H> you can pry the gun away now.
2008-05-08 23:17 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-05-08 23:17 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: Meh. To be honest, one of the things I like about America is its relative acceptance of guns compared to the rest of the world.
2008-05-08 23:17 < SynergeticMag> i would, but i might end up in jail
2008-05-08 23:18 < Mike_H> quanticle: You're Indian, right?
2008-05-08 23:18 < SynergeticMag> quanticle: balance that with the average iq and i'd say you are refured ;)
2008-05-08 23:18 < SynergeticMag> refuted*
2008-05-08 23:18 < quanticle> Banning guns doesn't cure violence - just look at London.
2008-05-08 23:18 < Kofiz> guyzz
2008-05-08 23:18 < Gracenotes> what's up
2008-05-08 23:18 < quanticle> Mike_H: Yeah.
2008-05-08 23:18 < SynergeticMag> London is not the US
2008-05-08 23:18 < Mike_H> quanticle: Do they allow guns in India?
2008-05-08 23:18 < quanticle> Mike_H: I don't know. I'm not sure of the regulations.
2008-05-08 23:19 < Lucifer_Cat> O.O
2008-05-08 23:19 < Gracenotes> because anti-gun people have claimed all along that banning guns completely eradicates violence... um.
2008-05-08 23:19 < Lucifer_Cat> i got buzzed
2008-05-08 23:19 < Mike_H> Gracenotes: two words
2008-05-08 23:19 < Mike_H> CONDITIONER
2008-05-08 23:19 < Lucifer_Cat> oh yeah, india
2008-05-08 23:19 < Gracenotes> D:
2008-05-08 23:19 < Mike_H> you're nothing...but a hot-bottomed head tilt and cocoa fist!
2008-05-08 23:19 < Lucifer_Cat> well, yeah, theres some license you need and stuff
2008-05-08 23:19 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Well one of the points the anti-gun people say is that banning guns reduces crime, when there's little to no correlation between gun laws and crime rates.
2008-05-08 23:20 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Not that I think that every schmuck should be handed an Uzi, mind you, I just think that the anti-gun lobby is as capable of going overboard as the NRA.
2008-05-08 23:20 < The359> banning guns would cut down drastically on deadly crime
2008-05-08 23:21 < SynergeticMag> maybe
2008-05-08 23:21 < SynergeticMag> but would force people to gain knowledge of other weaponry
2008-05-08 23:21 < quanticle> The359: Under that kind of reasoning, reducing the gas tax would lower gas prices.
2008-05-08 23:21 < SynergeticMag> you mean oil tax?
2008-05-08 23:21 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: im writing a porn assimilating and sorting bot... wanna contribute with AI data?
2008-05-08 23:21 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: Gasoline.
2008-05-08 23:22 < SynergeticMag> Lucifer_Cat: i can't program with AI, i have to have some form of intelligence first
2008-05-08 23:22 < Lucifer_Cat> no, i just need data to feed into it
2008-05-08 23:22 < SynergeticMag> or write bot code/script
2008-05-08 23:22 < SynergeticMag> why the hell would you ask me for data?
2008-05-08 23:22 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-05-08 23:23 < Lucifer_Cat> basically, just answer a long, detailed and intrusive questionnaire about your preferences :P
2008-05-08 23:23 < SynergeticMag> :/
2008-05-08 23:23 < Lucifer_Cat> cattyserve
2008-05-08 23:23 < SynergeticMag> i can try i suppose
2008-05-08 23:23 < Lucifer_Cat> hey lizzy
2008-05-08 23:23 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: i was kidding.
2008-05-08 23:23 < Kofiz> Lucifer) wait seriously?
2008-05-08 23:23 < Kofiz> oh damn
2008-05-08 23:23 < SynergeticMag> good, save me the time of a ton of explanations ;)
2008-05-08 23:24 < Lucifer_Cat> Kofiz: semi-serious on the porn link sorting bot... not serious on the questionnaire
2008-05-08 23:24 < Kofiz> yay
2008-05-08 23:24 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: it would be interesting to see who would need more explaining
2008-05-08 23:24 < SynergeticMag> well, not me hopefully
2008-05-08 23:25 < Lucifer_Cat> theres a subtle balance... after one point, the subject is just a perv... no explanation needed. like kiddie stuff for example.
2008-05-08 23:25 < SynergeticMag> i do have this broken skin fetish though.....
2008-05-08 23:25 * SynergeticMag laughs
2008-05-08 23:25 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: that will lead to more Qs :P
2008-05-08 23:25 < SynergeticMag> well its self explanatory really, remember i'm Synergetic MAGGOT
2008-05-08 23:26 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Hmmm, I don't have four games going at the moment on ConquerClub. Do you want to start a game against me (mano a mano)?
2008-05-08 23:27 < Lucifer_Cat> ooo threat huh
2008-05-08 23:27 < Lucifer_Cat> sure

2008-05-08 23:35 < Kofiz> does wikipedia need more featured articless
2008-05-08 23:35 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: I'm done too.
2008-05-08 23:35 < uberpenguin> nope, it has too many already, that's why they're culling 'em
2008-05-08 23:35 < Kofiz> ok
2008-05-08 23:35 < Kofiz> tks
2008-05-08 23:36 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: WTF. I just can't take Illyria...
2008-05-08 23:36 < Kofiz> this one evening i was bored so i made up a fake quote and posted it to bash and they accepted it
2008-05-08 23:37 < gwern> cursed parthians!
2008-05-08 23:37 < Lucifer_Cat> heh. neutral territories can be really stubborn sometimes.
2008-05-08 23:37 < Kofiz> i wonder how many quotes are actually fake then
2008-05-08 23:37 < gwern> Kofiz: half the quotes on bash are useful fake
2008-05-08 23:37 < gwern> *surely
2008-05-08 23:37 < Kofiz> ok
2008-05-08 23:37 < The359> what makes you think you're the first?
2008-05-08 23:37 < gwern> foolish to think otherwise
2008-05-08 23:37 < The359> how did you get useful from surely, gwern?
2008-05-08 23:37 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: i remember messedrocker and lizzy going on an on over a territory which simply didnt give in.
2008-05-08 23:37 < Kofiz> one of them is obviously fake because there is a typo in the kick message
2008-05-08 23:38 < Kofiz> #99060
2008-05-08 23:39 < Kofiz> were you serious about them removing fas
2008-05-08 23:39 < quanticle> Kofiz: No. It was a joke.
2008-05-08 23:42 * quanticle brb
2008-05-08 23:42 < Lubaf> [[Wikipedia:Requests for vandalism]]: I see a great need.
2008-05-08 23:44 < Lucifer_Cat> what
2008-05-08 23:45 < SynergeticMag> Lubaf: so do i actually, as long as its not linked back
2008-05-08 23:45 < SynergeticMag> :D
2008-05-08 23:45 < SynergeticMag> eh i'm out for the night i think
2008-05-08 23:45 < SynergeticMag> night everyone!
2008-05-08 23:46 < Lucifer_Cat> later, rottrt
2008-05-08 23:46 < Kofiz> mans if i dont write this article i should just drink bleach
2008-05-08 23:46 < gwern> Kofiz: don't do it! bleach is a mediocre series at best!
2008-05-08 23:46 < gwern> it's the DBZ of the '00s
2008-05-08 23:47 < Kofiz> ew animes
2008-05-08 23:47 < Kofiz> yeah it is especially crappy
2008-05-08 23:47 < quanticle> gwern: Heh. No kidding. Especially after season two.
2008-05-08 23:48 < gwern> the character designs seem to be better than DBZs, at least. looking at DBZ always made me want to wince
2008-05-08 23:53 < quanticle> gwern: The thing that made me wince about DBZ was its blatant time dialation.
2008-05-08 23:54 < quanticle> To be fair, I've noticed time dialation in most animes that started out as mangas.
2008-05-09 00:14 < Lucifer_Cat> wassat
2008-05-09 00:14 < Lucifer_Cat> those stupid scenes with lots of lines and drawn out sounds
2008-05-09 00:14 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Which scenes?
2008-05-09 00:15 < Lucifer_Cat> time dilation
2008-05-09 00:15 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Well, not so much that, I'm referring to the scenes where the characters spend minutes at a time doing nothing but staring at one another.
2008-05-09 00:16 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: they might be imagining each other naked
2008-05-09 00:16 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: You'd wish that, wouldn't you?
2008-05-09 00:17 < Lucifer_Cat> actually not. i suppose, since i guess most characters were kids
2008-05-09 00:18 < gwern> but which is worse, blatant fille episodes like naruto's movies and filler episodes, or time dilation
2008-05-09 00:18 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Heh. Not the effect that I was going for, but it still insulted you.
2008-05-09 00:19 < Lucifer_Cat> hardly felt insulted.
2008-05-09 00:19 < Lucifer_Cat> what effect were you going for
2008-05-09 00:19 < quanticle> gwern: I'd rather have the time dilation, to be honest, I'd rather have filler episodes, since I can just skip them when I pirate the DVDs.
2008-05-09 00:19 < Lucifer_Cat> gwern: whos worse, bush or mccain
2008-05-09 00:20 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: I was going for the "you're gay" effect, but you premptively struck out against the "you're a paedophile" effect.
2008-05-09 00:20 < Lucifer_Cat> lol
2008-05-09 00:20 < Lucifer_Cat> actually, i would not have thought of gay...
2008-05-09 00:21 < gwern> Lucifer_Cat: bush, because mccain may not yet wreak his future havoc
2008-05-09 00:21 < gwern> quanticle: well said; my own opinion
2008-05-09 00:21 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Perhaps not, since you probably didn't know that DBZ mostly involved male characters.
2008-05-09 00:21 < Lucifer_Cat> cuz the only anime im slightly familiar with is cuz of my ex... and all those seemed to have those gals in uniforms kinds
2008-05-09 00:21 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: heh, spot on
2008-05-09 00:22 < gwern> and the female characters were ugly
2008-05-09 00:22 < gwern> I have long suspected dbz was being marketed to gay men
2008-05-09 00:22 < Lucifer_Cat> now i'd totally have a chick in school uniform... but not shes really IN school
2008-05-09 00:22 < Lucifer_Cat> except for grad school.. which is dirty and fun and legal.
2008-05-09 00:23 < The359> Grad schools don't have uniforms though
2008-05-09 00:24 < gwern> unless you count buying from good will
2008-05-09 00:26 < Lucifer_Cat> The359: thats what i meant in my comment before that one
2008-05-09 00:26 < Lucifer_Cat> 199 users
2008-05-09 00:27 < Lucifer_Cat> i mean 195 onlookers... 5 people talking
2008-05-09 00:27 < Lucifer_Cat> chatrooms are a lot like undergrad classrooms
2008-05-09 00:27 < quanticle> Hmmm, I'm getting my mother a computer for Mother's Day. It'll be a desktop (she hates laptop keyboards). I really don't want to build her one myself, so who should I order from?
2008-05-09 00:27 < Lucifer_Cat> 95% of the class is either away, sleeping, eating or goofing off
2008-05-09 00:28 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: apple
2008-05-09 00:28 < gwern> lurk moar
2008-05-09 00:28 * Lucifer_Cat smirks at the look on quanticle 's face
2008-05-09 00:28 < gwern> quanticle: alienware
2008-05-09 00:28 < gwern> show that you care with alienware!
2008-05-09 00:28 < quanticle> gwern: I'm rich, but not that rich.
2008-05-09 00:29 < gwern> nobody on their deathbed ever said 'I wish I had bought less alienware for my dear old mudder'
2008-05-09 00:29 < quanticle> To be quite honest, I'm thinking Dell for this one. I mean, it'll be a desktop, so I can handle my own tech. support, which gets rid of the main objection against Dell.
2008-05-09 00:30 < gwern> if you can handle your own tech support, just build the durn thing yourself
2008-05-09 00:30 < quanticle> gwern: That's a distinction I reserve for computers for me.
2008-05-09 00:30 < quanticle> gwern: Its not technical incompetence, its elitism.
2008-05-09 00:31 < gwern> ?
2008-05-09 00:31 < Lucifer_Cat> gwern: hes making excuses plain and simple.
2008-05-09 00:31 < quanticle> gwern: Custom computers (like custom cars) are a cut above. Just like you'd be surprised to see a pleb in a custom car, you'd be surprised to see a pleb in a custom computer.
2008-05-09 00:32 * quanticle calls Lucifer_Cat a pleb.
2008-05-09 00:32 < Lucifer_Cat> way to go buddy, calling your mom a pleb.
2008-05-09 00:32 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Heh.
2008-05-09 00:32 < quanticle> Preemptive "your mom" joke?
2008-05-09 00:32 < Lucifer_Cat> wow. that timing could not have been worse
2008-05-09 00:32 < quanticle> Hmmm...
2008-05-09 00:33 * gwern plebs guilty - to your mom!
2008-05-09 00:33 * quanticle checks out Newegg
2008-05-09 00:33 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: whats with you and preemptivism. also, your statements imply that you are calling your mom a pleb.
2008-05-09 00:33 < Lucifer_Cat> i was talking in her /defense/
2008-05-09 00:33 < Lucifer_Cat> i'll call aunty and complain ;)
2008-05-09 00:34 < gwern> quanticle: I'd have to disagree. custom computers can be insanely awesome, but my computer - a custom one - is a pile of shit in every way but the components that matter
2008-05-09 00:34 < Lucifer_Cat> get her a bsd system
2008-05-09 00:34 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: I prefer a system that is actually usable.
2008-05-09 00:35 < Lucifer_Cat> tell that to those dorks at berkeley
2008-05-09 00:35 < Mike_H> Lucifer_Cat: Aunty?
2008-05-09 00:35 < Mike_H> You're so Indian
2008-05-09 00:35 < gwern> (ie, the case is open, because I scavenged it off the street; the motherboard can only be turned on by physically linking two pins with something metally, the cdrom drive is so old and obscure none of my linux livecds can operate it, etc.)
2008-05-09 00:35 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: They won't listen. They're too freakin' high all the time.
2008-05-09 00:35 < Lucifer_Cat> Mike_H: and proud of it.
2008-05-09 00:36 < quanticle> gwern: Heh. Frankenstein machine?
2008-05-09 00:36 < gwern> quanticle: quite. on the other hand, I'm pleased with intel's quad-core processor, the aircooled nvidia 8600, the 4gigs of fast ram, a nice 500GB of backing store, and so on
2008-05-09 00:37 < quanticle> gwern: Hmmm. Oh what the hell, I'll build her one. After all, she is my mother.
2008-05-09 00:38 < chzz> Thoughts on http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/may/08/wikipedia.searchengines ?
2008-05-09 00:38 < kanzure> chzz: What's that link about?
2008-05-09 00:38 < gwern> initial thought: your momma
2008-05-09 00:39 < gwern> kanzure: wikia's quixotic attempt at search engines
2008-05-09 00:40 < kanzure> gwern: yeah, that's #searchwikia
2008-05-09 00:40 < kanzure> I was on the mailing list talking with Jimmy Wales about it
2008-05-09 00:40 < kanzure> http://lucene.apache.org/ or http://nutch.apache.org/ or something.
2008-05-09 00:40 < gwern> chzz: good article. articulates many of my own doubts, and is much more measured than most of finkelstein's articles
2008-05-09 00:40 < quanticle> Oooohhh $240 for a Western Digital 1TB drive...
2008-05-09 00:40 < kanzure> I don't know why Jimmy thought that search could be done with NPOV ... search is ultimately a POV thing, so treat the searcher as the star of the action
2008-05-09 00:41 < gwern> quanticle: http://forre.st/storage
2008-05-09 00:41 < gwern> you can do better
2008-05-09 00:43 < quanticle> Yeah, that's true. I could get a 750 for a lot less.
2008-05-09 00:44 < gwern> the extra 250 in a single drive isn't worth a doubling in price
2008-05-09 00:45 < quanticle> Whoa - 750 for $120. Yeah, gwern - the 750 is a better deal.
2008-05-09 00:45 < quanticle> I could order two and have 1.5 TB for the same price.
2008-05-09 00:45 < gwern> I mean sheesh, if you don't mind the software complexity, you could get 50% more space for the same money
2008-05-09 00:46 < quanticle> Anyway. I'm off to bed. Its almost midnight here.
2008-05-09 00:46 < gwern> indeed
2008-05-09 00:46 < chzz> especially pertinant is, "skill at writing passable encyclopedia articles is common, and not restricted to a tiny academic elite. And people can be induced to work for free with the thought that they are then like those academics."
2008-05-09 00:50 < denelson83> Question: If a corporation is legally a person, does that mean it can be arrested and criminally charged?

2008-05-09 01:07 < Mahlzahn> while making my last edit, I had the sudden urge to check that a link to [[blog]] would go where I hoped it would. What does that say about me?
2008-05-09 01:13 < officemax> I see that status is simply given as "up". I'm finding things hopelessly slow. Are others experiencing the same?
2008-05-09 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> oh jesus
2008-05-09 01:43 < Ceiling_Cat> I just realized that the wording on my thesis cover page is *word-for-word identical* to a thesis submitted ot my school 70 years ago
2008-05-09 01:43 < Ceiling_Cat> the onyl difference is the title and the degree it was submitted for
2008-05-09 01:43 < Ceiling_Cat> jesus
2008-05-09 01:43 < Kamping_Kaiser> rofl
2008-05-09 01:44 < Ceiling_Cat> they haven't changed the wording in 7 decades
2008-05-09 01:44 < Werdna> haha

2008-05-09 02:07 < Werdna> details plz
2008-05-09 02:32 < Mahlzahn> quick: anyone here with oversight? or that can kill a comment in history? (will do oversight after the fact)

2008-05-09 04:16 < Mahlzahn> define "hid"
2008-05-09 04:18 < Mahlzahn> like you have to add up the ascii codes of the letters so that reads "Kilroy was here" or something?
2008-05-09 04:18 < privatemusings> ah - we found the answer mah......

2008-05-09 04:28 < Mahlzahn> Mike3: sheesh talk about bad journalism. If they were more advanced than us why on earth did they use stone tablets? Could they have not used a whapsomodultangulator?
2008-05-09 04:29 < Mahlzahn> it was to be expected that the dimwits would post it on WP. WP is a magnet for people of low-IQ.
2008-05-09 04:30 < Mahlzahn> just look at me!
2008-05-09 04:31 < AdamBishop> what the hell happened to that e-mail I sent myself from work. Bah.
