2008-05-22 14:38 < SNORING> AMD not so good with games.
2008-05-22 14:38 < SNORING> My Acer is AMD.
2008-05-22 14:39 < quanticle> SNORING: Its just fine. The main issue with AMDs is that they're not as power efficient as the equivalent Intel parts, so they're not as good in laptops and the such.
2008-05-22 14:39 < quanticle> AMDs also run a little bit hotter.
2008-05-22 14:39 < SNORING> and they are cheaper
2008-05-22 14:39 < SNORING> MAC is AMDs as well
2008-05-22 14:40 < quanticle> But, given that I'm getting a nice heatsink and I'm going to getting a desktop, it shouldn't be a problem.

2008-05-22 14:53 < quanticle> haza-w: Scientology is closer to a Ponzi scheme than a religion.

2008-05-22 16:18 < Mm40> It's non-binding!
2008-05-22 16:19 < Dendodge> Just pop in, look at the article, and tell us how to improve it (or help us improve it)
2008-05-22 16:21 < quanticle> mastertop: Difficult to say, especially if you include renewable sources of carbon, like charcoal.
2008-05-22 16:23 < quanticle> Dendodge: Which one, [[30 Years War]]?
2008-05-22 16:23 < Dendodge> yes
2008-05-22 16:25 < quanticle> Dendodge: Ok. I'll look at it after I get home, in a few hours. I don't have my history book with me.
2008-05-22 16:26 * quanticle took a course in European history once
2008-05-22 16:26 < Dendodge> You've got all week
2008-05-22 16:31 < quanticle> Dendodge: Sweet. Thanks.
2008-05-22 16:33 < mastertop> quanticle, charcoal is considered as renewable?
2008-05-22 16:34 < quanticle> mastertop: It comes from wood
2008-05-22 16:34 < denelson83> American Idol: The most conclusive evidence yet of the big corps keeping the American public dumb to the core
2008-05-22 16:34 < quanticle> You get charcoal by heating wood in a low oxygen environment
2008-05-22 16:34 < mastertop> as in wood charcoal?
2008-05-22 16:35 < quanticle> mastertop: what other type of charcoal is there?
2008-05-22 16:35 < mastertop> huh?
2008-05-22 16:36 < mastertop> I mean..
2008-05-22 16:36 < denelson83> American Piehole should be cancelled and never, ever, ever, ever, EVER aired again
2008-05-22 16:36 < mastertop> the charcoal used in many electricity "factories" and such isn't made out of wood, is it
2008-05-22 16:37 < mastertop> oh, sorry, I meant coal ( in french there's only one word to refer to that)
2008-05-22 16:41 < quanticle> Well, in that case, its theoretically possible, but very difficult. Estimates of proven reserves for oil are probably far more reliable that estimates for proven reserves of coal.
2008-05-22 16:44 < mastertop> Anyhow, I guess we've used way less than 50%, or am I wrong?
2008-05-22 16:44 < mastertop> like WAY
2008-05-22 16:49 < quanticle> mastertop: If you include coal, then yes, we've used less than 50%. If you exclude coal, its not as clear. Part of the problem is that we really don't know the amount of "undiscovered" fossil fuel out there.
2008-05-22 16:49 < mastertop> we must hope there's not too much remaining
2008-05-22 16:51 < quanticle> mastertop: To be fair, I fear global warming much less than the socio-economic turmoil that would be precipitated by an abrupt shortage of fossil fuels.
2008-05-22 16:52 < mastertop> indeed.
2008-05-22 16:52 < quanticle> A sudden and prolonged shortage of fossil fuels has the potential to send us back to a medieval level of technology.
2008-05-22 16:52 < tombom> yeah i don't really think fossil fuels suddenly disappearing is something to hope for
2008-05-22 16:52 < KingOfAll> Plastics...
2008-05-22 16:53 < mastertop> Well, when we'll be near a shortage, we'll know, I believe
2008-05-22 16:57 < quanticle> mastertop: Well that depends on how much you believe in peak oil theory.
2008-05-22 17:05 < mastertop> just read about it, it seems to make a lot of sense
2008-05-22 17:07 < quanticle> mastertop: Except that there's no scientific evidence to support the conclusions.
2008-05-22 17:08 < quanticle> mastertop: Oil is peaking but peak oil advocates ignore 1) new oil recovery systems 2) discovery of new fields and 3) development of alternative energy sources.
2008-05-22 17:08 < quanticle> Anyway. I'm out for now.
2008-05-22 17:08 < mastertop> well, the main thing being is that oil production will once peaks, which will then necessarily drop gradually
2008-05-22 17:08 < mastertop> bye
2008-05-22 17:10 < mastertop> Whether it will be gradual enough or not is yet to dertermine
2008-05-22 17:15 < oxigen> hi! anyone knows what mean "CR" in this case: Credit Hours (CR)?
2008-05-22 17:16 < kingturtle> rehi
2008-05-22 17:49 < bbot> Ah, 68888888 GET.
2008-05-22 17:50 < quanticle> bbot: Huh?
2008-05-22 17:57 < bbot> quanticle: On /b/, we just passed the 68,888,888th post
2008-05-22 17:59 < quanticle> bbot: Ah. Nice
2008-05-22 18:00 < Gracenotes> GET /b/ HTTP/68888888.0

2008-05-22 18:02 < Gracenotes> bbot: did you actually see the GET post?
2008-05-22 18:02 < Gracenotes> 'twas't a failget?
2008-05-22 18:02 < bbot> 68888888 was "gets are for fags"
2008-05-22 18:03 < Gracenotes> oh. true in a sense.
2008-05-22 18:05 < Leslie_S> sigh

2008-05-22 18:05 < Leslie_S> everything bad seems to happen to me. now ive even been robbed, essentially.
2008-05-22 18:05 < Leslie_S> i wonder how long before someone just outright murders me for being a gender variant.
2008-05-22 18:17 < Mm40> Anyone who knows Bulgarian, French, Icelandic, Swedish or Russian?
2008-05-22 18:19 < Mm40> A translator wud be useful
2008-05-22 18:21 < Mike_H> AzaTht is Swedish
2008-05-22 18:29 < Mike_H> zocky: so I read that there are 48 dialects of Slovene.
2008-05-22 18:30 < Mike_H> Why does a small country need so many dialects?
2008-05-22 18:30 < Dendodge> Err, AzaTht, could you translate http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trettio%C3%A5riga_kriget to English please?
2008-05-22 18:31 < Dendodge> speak to us in #wikipedia-spotlight if you feel like helping
2008-05-22 18:32 < zocky> Mike_H, lots of hills and valley, a few major rivers, and a bunch of former borders across the country

2008-05-22 19:26 < Alkivar> something of interest on WFMU's blog today: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2008/05/a-brief-history.html
2008-05-22 19:27 < Cream> Lycurgus yup
2008-05-22 19:27 < Lycurgus> alkivar: i doubt there are many wmfu listeners here besides you and I
2008-05-22 19:28 < Lycurgus> (i probably wouldn't be if I hadn't lived in jc)
2008-05-22 19:29 < Lycurgus> (or at least nyc area)
2008-05-22 19:30 < bumm13> mj./;]
2008-05-22 19:31 < bumm13> (darn cat :P )
2008-05-22 19:32 < marley_> if i've uploaded a vector image to replace a raster image, what tag can i put on the raster image to mark it for speedy deletion?
2008-05-22 19:33 < Lycurgus> you don't
2008-05-22 19:33 < Lycurgus> unless you go an change everything that links to it
2008-05-22 19:33 < Lycurgus> *and
2008-05-22 19:34 < Lycurgus> in which case you can then {{PROD}} it with an appropriate explanation
2008-05-22 19:35 < Lycurgus> though i'm not sure what the wp policy is about svg (which I presume is what you mean) vs other formats
2008-05-22 19:35 < Lycurgus> certainly svg is preferrable and used
2008-05-22 19:36 < Leslie_S> any transgender people around?
2008-05-22 19:36 < Legoktm> you dont delete the non svg image
2008-05-22 19:36 < Lycurgus> will ordinary homos do?
2008-05-22 19:36 < Legoktm> read [[Template:Vector version available]]
2008-05-22 19:37 * Leslie_S is seeking hard to find information
2008-05-22 19:37 < Lycurgus> (there's more likely to be some at #gay-geeks, FTMichael for example)
2008-05-22 19:37 < Leslie_S> Lycurgus im banned, and i hate him.
2008-05-22 19:38 < Lycurgus> her
2008-05-22 19:38 < Leslie_S> Lycurgus infact, i cant stand most transgender people
2008-05-22 19:38 < Lycurgus> him
2008-05-22 19:38 < Leslie_S> thats a him.
2008-05-22 19:38 < Lycurgus> <- confused.
2008-05-22 19:38 < Leslie_S> ftms are men.
2008-05-22 19:38 < Leslie_S> just like im a woman.
2008-05-22 19:38 < Lycurgus> well after they are (Female To Male)
2008-05-22 19:38 < Leslie_S> Uhm
2008-05-22 19:38 < Leslie_S> Most people who want to be called michael dont want to be called female.
2008-05-22 19:38 < Lubaf> On D&D: "The idea that Core is God was a more balanced, less abusable way to play is a terrible illusion that can only lead to tears and a giant bear that summons smaller bears while throwing fire."
2008-05-22 19:38 < Leslie_S> anyway, i hate him.
2008-05-22 19:38 < Leslie_S> :P
2008-05-22 19:39 < Leslie_S> and this channels always been full of em.
2008-05-22 19:39 < marley_> the raster image is now orphaned (i.e. i linked all the pages to the vector/svg version)
2008-05-22 19:39 < marley_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Jetstar_logo.png specifically
2008-05-22 19:40 < Lycurgus> well prod subst it with a message
2008-05-22 19:42 < Lycurgus> yeah it makes sense that you can't stand other trans;it's basically an inability to reconcile ones sexuality with one's gender.
2008-05-22 19:42 < Leslie_S> huh?
2008-05-22 19:43 < Leslie_S> Sigh. That's completely wrong.
2008-05-22 19:43 < Lycurgus> seeing stuff like that in others makes one feel uncomfortable/uneasy
2008-05-22 19:43 < Leslie_S> I cant stand trans people because they mostly act like fucking assholes.
2008-05-22 19:43 < Leslie_S> Thats all it is.
2008-05-22 19:44 < Lycurgus> of course there are a very small number of true hermaphrodites but gender is basically a social not a biology construct as referred to her (where we are except in the usual indicated cases ignoring biological gender)
2008-05-22 19:44 < Rinn> I pretended to be a hermaphrodite once!
2008-05-22 19:45 < Rinn> No one believed me.
2008-05-22 19:45 < Messedrocker> gender is social
2008-05-22 19:45 < Messedrocker> sex is bio/physiological
2008-05-22 19:47 < Lubaf> How about sexuality?
2008-05-22 19:47 < Rinn> Sexuality smells.
2008-05-22 19:48 < Messedrocker> like fish.
2008-05-22 19:49 < Leslie_S> I can't deal with this kind of stupidity right now. I need to stay calm for tomorrow.
2008-05-22 19:49 < Leslie_S> Tomorrow is one of the biggest days of my life.
2008-05-22 19:49 < Rinn> You obviously shouldn't be on IRC, then.
2008-05-22 19:49 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker and condoms smell horrible.
2008-05-22 19:50 < Leslie_S> Rinn i got bored.
2008-05-22 19:50 < Rinn> Then embrace the stupidity!
2008-05-22 19:50 < Leslie_S> Rinn and most stupidity on irc, i can calm down from by the time i take that road test.
2008-05-22 19:50 < Leslie_S> stuff like Lycurgus just pulled...nope.
2008-05-22 19:50 * Rinn slaps Leslie_S around a bit with a large trout
2008-05-22 19:51 < Leslie_S> someone in detroit wants to fuck me though.... :D :D
2008-05-22 19:51 < Project2501> Ford?
2008-05-22 19:52 < Leslie_S> lol
2008-05-22 19:52 < Sky_Cat> No, Chevy.
2008-05-22 19:52 < Leslie_S> yes, Henry Ford himself wants to fuck me
2008-05-22 19:52 < Sky_Cat> ;)
2008-05-22 19:52 < Rinn> Does anyone here know a guy named Hash?
2008-05-22 19:52 < Leslie_S> The big three are total sluts though...theyll fuck you and you dont even have to ask them!
2008-05-22 19:52 < Project2501> He lives in turkey
2008-05-22 19:59 < Messedrocker> euh
2008-05-22 20:01 < Warpath> _sj_, yay \o/
2008-05-22 20:02 < sherrod> I have a syntax question
2008-05-22 20:02 < Messedrocker> hello my name is capslocks who's driving me nuts wheel is driving me nuts how can that beeeeee heeeee heeee-maaaan and the powers of grace!
2008-05-22 20:02 < Messedrocker> ask away, sherrod
2008-05-22 20:03 < Olipro> is that sherrod as in... sherrod of ED
2008-05-22 20:03 < sherrod> for categories, must i put it like [[category: florida]] [[category: sunny places]] [[category: US states]] or can I do [[category:florida|sunny places|us states]]
2008-05-22 20:03 < sherrod> or something?
2008-05-22 20:03 < Leslie_S> I love how im apparently such a horrible person that i deserve a permanent ban from #defocus
2008-05-22 20:03 < Messedrocker> sherrod, like the first example
2008-05-22 20:03 < sherrod> Olipro: omg yes, plz don't shoot me in the face
2008-05-22 20:03 < Leslie_S> yet theres tons of people who actually are horrible people and are never even temporarily banned.
2008-05-22 20:03 < sherrod> Messedrocker: there is no short cut for that?
2008-05-22 20:03 < Messedrocker> [[Category:Florida]] [[Category:Sunny Places]] [[Category:US states]]
2008-05-22 20:04 < sherrod> Leslie_S: don't worry, i promise I am a far more horrible person than you
2008-05-22 20:04 < Messedrocker> also there shouldn't be a space between the colon and the category name though it will still work
2008-05-22 20:04 < sherrod> Messedrocker: cool, thank you.
2008-05-22 20:05 < Mike_H> I'm watching some old Idol.
2008-05-22 20:05 < Mike_H> I forgot some heinous singers who were on that show.
2008-05-22 20:05 < Messedrocker> dunkelman
2008-05-22 20:05 < Messedrocker> don't forget dunkey
2008-05-22 20:05 < Mike_H> He didn't sing.
2008-05-22 20:05 < Sky_Cat> sherrod: it would be nice if there was a shortcut :o.
2008-05-22 20:05 < Messedrocker> who cares, Mike_H , he's dunkey
2008-05-22 20:06 < Messedrocker> SVERIGES!!!
2008-05-22 20:06 < sherrod> Sky_Cat: it has been a long time since i've really edited so I keep forgetting how stuff works... like pipes. Heh.
2008-05-22 20:06 < Sky_Cat> lol
2008-05-22 20:06 * Sky_Cat sighs at Messedrocker. What about Sweden?\
2008-05-22 20:07 < Sky_Cat> is there anyway to turn a raster image (ie, PNG) into an SVG automagically using inkscape?
2008-05-22 20:07 < Messedrocker> semiautomatically, yes
2008-05-22 20:07 < Leslie_S> Sky_Cat its not going to work very well.
2008-05-22 20:08 < Leslie_S> Sky_Cat the best bet is to trace it in, which there is a way to do that in inkscape.
2008-05-22 20:08 < Messedrocker> which is what i meant by semiautomatically
2008-05-22 20:09 < Messedrocker> inkscape does the diry work but you have to tweak with the settings
2008-05-22 20:09 < Sky2042> which / where would i do this?
2008-05-22 20:10 < Leslie_S> im talking about manually tracing, Messedrocker
2008-05-22 20:10 < Messedrocker> oh
2008-05-22 20:12 < Warpath> sherrod, O_O
2008-05-22 20:12 < Warpath> nice to see good ED ppl here O_O
2008-05-22 20:12 < Sky2042> hmm, i'll just go read the documentation. =)
2008-05-22 20:13 < Ziggy_Sawdust> From my talk page:
2008-05-22 20:13 < Ziggy_Sawdust> "But why did you use an edit summary reading "I suck cocks" -- i think it was intended to be self-deprecatory, but even so it was inappropriate. DGG (talk) 23:03, 22 May 2008 (UTC)"
2008-05-22 20:13 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Short of having a Graphire or a Cintiq, I don't see any good way of manually tracing stuff onto a computer.
2008-05-22 20:14 < Leslie_S> quanticle im talking about tracing from a raster format...
2008-05-22 20:14 < Canaen> Where can I go to let people know about a min abusing his powers/
2008-05-22 20:15 < Canaen> an admin*
2008-05-22 20:15 < Leslie_S> quanticle you can use the mouse, its not that hard, ive done it before
2008-05-22 20:16 < Leslie_S> its already in the computer, you know
2008-05-22 20:16 < sherrod> Warpath: hi. I am editing stuff on wikis and i can't remember how to do anything.
2008-05-22 20:16 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Oh, I thought you were tracing a drawing or something.
2008-05-22 20:17 < Warpath> O_O
2008-05-22 20:17 < quanticle> Leslie_S: Paper drawing, that is.
2008-05-22 20:18 < Leslie_S> no.
2008-05-22 20:18 < Leslie_S> and sigh, i wish i had a guitar :(
2008-05-22 20:19 < Canaen> If an admin is abusing his powers, what is to be done?
2008-05-22 20:19 < Mike5> snake http://youtube.com/watch?v=VCvH3Tz_1iw
2008-05-22 20:20 < Leslie_S> Canaen nothing at all.
2008-05-22 20:20 < Leslie_S> Mike5 badger badger badger? :o
2008-05-22 20:20 < quanticle> Canaen: Put up a notice on the Administrator's Noticeboard.
2008-05-22 20:21 < Sky2042> ok, inkscape's starting to look fun...
2008-05-22 20:23 < DanielB> _sj_, hi
2008-05-22 20:28 < Mike_H> Out of the bevy of men running for the board, I must say that it is no hunkfest.
2008-05-22 20:38 < marley_> damnit
2008-05-22 20:38 < marley_> wikipedia's svg -> png rendering engine sucks
2008-05-22 20:39 < marley_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cold_Stone_Creamery_Logo.svg
2008-05-22 20:39 < marley_> look at the rendered png vs. the actual svg
2008-05-22 20:39 < Warpath> aye Bob marley_ :D
2008-05-22 20:39 < marley_> completely butchered the logo
2008-05-22 20:39 < marley_> =]
2008-05-22 20:40 * Leslie_S sighs and tries to relax and not think about tomorrwo
2008-05-22 20:42 < Mm40> why?
2008-05-22 20:43 < Leslie_S> because im scared of the road test.
2008-05-22 20:43 < Leslie_S> and i HAVE TO get this license.
2008-05-22 20:43 < Leslie_S> and the off-road skills test part is HARD.
2008-05-22 20:43 < Sky2042> Leslie_S: aw, you'll be fine. =)
2008-05-22 20:43 < Leslie_S> how do you know? have you done this before?
2008-05-22 20:44 < Sky2042> Leslie_S: nope. does that mean i can't wish you good luck? nope. ;P
2008-05-22 20:44 < Leslie_S> heh
2008-05-22 20:44 < Sky2042> and/or words of encouragement
2008-05-22 20:44 < Leslie_S> anyway, its not as easy as the road test for driving a car.
2008-05-22 20:44 < Leslie_S> this is a vehicle thats 70 feet long, and you can not hit a single curb ;/
2008-05-22 20:45 < Leslie_S> the main thing i have to remember thats easy to forget is that i cant start turning the truck until the trailer wheels are where i want them to be... :P
2008-05-22 20:45 < sherrod> Leslie_S: if you think you're not prepared, why not take the test another time?
2008-05-22 20:45 < Leslie_S> sherrod i am prepared.
2008-05-22 20:45 < Leslie_S> but i can still be scared.
2008-05-22 20:46 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Mercury-san, Earth-kun, Moon-tan, Mars-kun, Jupiter-kun, Saturn-kun, Neptune-tan, Uranus-tan, Pluto-san, and Sun-kun
2008-05-22 20:50 < Messedrocker> the diminutive for children is "chan" not "tan"
2008-05-22 20:51 < Ziggy_Sawdust> FU
2008-05-22 20:51 < Ziggy_Sawdust> no, jk
2008-05-22 20:52 < Leslie_S> i thought it was both
2008-05-22 20:57 < quanticle> Leslie_S: "tan" is a corruption of "chan"
2008-05-22 20:57 < Leslie_S> lol
2008-05-22 20:57 < Leslie_S> tan is cute though
2008-05-22 20:57 < Ziggy_Sawdust> like Wikipe-tan, y'know
2008-05-22 20:57 < quanticle> Leslie_S: "tan" is the "baby talk" pronunciation of "chan", I think.
2008-05-22 20:57 < Leslie_S> ok
2008-05-22 20:58 < Messedrocker> i have absolutely become a troll if i am dedicating time to write up 50 questions for the Board candidates
2008-05-22 20:58 < tawker> Messedrocker: ok... ok
2008-05-22 20:58 < tawker> we're having a board "election"?
2008-05-22 20:58 < Leslie_S> LOL....

2008-05-22 20:58 < Messedrocker> greg kohs is running
2008-05-22 20:58 < A_TOKINA> In many cases, the diminutive for children is "chan"
2008-05-22 20:58 < tawker> interesting...
2008-05-22 20:59 < Leslie_S> im gonna go to bed. if i dont think about tomorrow, ill actually sleep.

2008-05-22 20:59 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Chiyo-chan approves of this channel
2008-05-22 21:06 < Ziggy_Sawdust> BIGGY IS MILD AND GOOD TASTE
2008-05-22 21:06 < Ziggy_Sawdust> BIGGY IS MILD AND GOOD TASTE
2008-05-22 21:06 < Messedrocker> the notorious BIG tastes good?
2008-05-22 21:10 < Mike_H> I'm hungry :(
2008-05-22 21:15 < gwern> bah, that stupid Ziggy_Sawdust
2008-05-22 21:15 < gwern> like he'd know whether Chiyo would approve of this channel!
2008-05-22 21:16 < gwern> (she probably wouldn't, too much pedobear)
2008-05-22 21:17 < quanticle> Wow. Ziggy_Sawdust finally got banned? I guess he finally stepped far enough across the line to fall off the cliff.
2008-05-22 21:18 < quanticle> Mixed metaphors FTW.
2008-05-22 21:19 < gwern> no, it's fine
2008-05-22 21:19 < gwern> just imagine the line being the edge of the cliff
2008-05-22 21:19 < gwern> (works well for me(
2008-05-22 21:21 < quanticle> gwern: I guess so. I was imagining more of a "line in the sand", but I suppose that said line could be drawn in the vicinity of a cliff.
2008-05-22 21:23 < StayTuned> Mike_H
2008-05-22 21:31 < quanticle> Olla_Presto, OllaPresto: Oh good lord. What are you, identical twins?

2008-05-22 21:31 < Mark_Ryan> olla presto? what does that mean? hello now?
2008-05-22 21:32 < Olla_Presto> Mark_Ryan: Olla Presto = Presto pot
2008-05-22 21:32 < Olla_Presto> It's a pressure cooker.
2008-05-22 21:32 < Mark_Ryan> ah
2008-05-22 21:32 < Olla_Presto> OllaPresto likes chuchking them at people.
2008-05-22 21:32 < Mark_Ryan> pressure cookers are great'
2008-05-22 21:33 < quanticle> Mark_Ryan: ... for throwing.
2008-05-22 21:33 < OllaPresto> Mark_Ryan: Actually, Presto is a Mexican brand
2008-05-22 21:35 * quanticle chucks OllaPresto at Olla_Presto
2008-05-22 21:35 < OllaPresto> And we are playing a game: You have to say...
2008-05-22 21:35 * OllaPresto avienta una olla Presto a quanticle
2008-05-22 21:35 < quanticle> Damn. I'd duck, but my spanish is rusty.
2008-05-22 21:35 < OllaPresto> which means...
2008-05-22 21:36 * OllaPresto trows a Presto pot to quanticle
2008-05-22 21:36 < OllaPresto> *throw
2008-05-22 21:36 < quanticle> OllaPresto: I got what it meant, but I have neither the motivation nor the skills to formulate a response to that.
2008-05-22 21:36 < sphefx> hello
2008-05-22 21:36 < quanticle> Hola
2008-05-22 21:36 < sphefx> hi quanticle
2008-05-22 21:38 < Mark_Ryan> you know the problem with this channel these days? Gracenotes.
2008-05-22 21:38 < Gracenotes> The reason that's funny is because it's true. I'm here to make your lives miserable.
2008-05-22 21:38 < Gracenotes> rawr.
2008-05-22 21:39 * Mark_Ryan cries
2008-05-22 21:39 * sphefx hides
2008-05-22 21:39 < sphefx> What was that netsplitting thing anyway?
2008-05-22 21:40 < Mark_Ryan> You want to know what a netsplit is, sphefx?
2008-05-22 21:40 * quanticle jumps on top of the Gracenotes
2008-05-22 21:40 < quanticle> Everyone, get away before the Gracenotes goes off!
2008-05-22 21:40 < sphefx> Mark_Ryan: yes
2008-05-22 21:40 < Mark_Ryan> sphefx, the IRC network is made up of about 20 individual IRC servers around the world, all linked together. They all talk to one another through the internet, so that people on one server can see what people on other servers are saying.
2008-05-22 21:41 < Mark_Ryan> But when one (or more) of those servers loses contact with the other servers for whatever reason, it is called a netsplit
2008-05-22 21:41 < sphefx> oh
2008-05-22 21:41 < sphefx> i see
