2008-05-23 04:37 < AdamBishop> oh really? I'm afraid I don't remember you
2008-05-23 04:38 < bumm13> it's been a while
2008-05-23 04:38 < Fire> Yeah, approx. 2 years..
2008-05-23 04:40 < cimon> AdamBishop: fire is the chap who was all over slobbering about how hot Angelas picture was. (/me makes an attempt to embarrasse Fire)
2008-05-23 04:40 < Mike_H> and now for something completely different
2008-05-23 04:40 < Mike_H> http://youtube.com/watch?v=ymtxO3n_JcM
2008-05-23 04:41 < Fire> Oups.. Did you write sth. ?
2008-05-23 04:42 < cimon> Also the sun is up, so /me goes out on the balcony to try to use a shaving mirror to put a tampon on fire...
2008-05-23 04:42 < Mike_H> why do you have tampons?
2008-05-23 04:42 < bumm13> o.o
2008-05-23 04:43 < AdamBishop> cimon, that could be anybody :)
2008-05-23 04:43 < Luna-San> And why are they for burning?
2008-05-23 04:43 < Mike_H> Luna-San: I just want to know why he has the tampons
2008-05-23 04:43 < Luna-San> Step at a time. Gotcha.
2008-05-23 04:43 < AdamBishop> gotta burn something.
2008-05-23 04:44 < cimon> MIke_H: found one on the street yesterday...
2008-05-23 04:44 < bumm13> o_____O
2008-05-23 04:44 < AdamBishop> was it used?
2008-05-23 04:44 < Mike_H> cimon: like, was it...used?
2008-05-23 04:44 < cimon> Read somewhere that survival packs often stock them, because they are excellent fire starters..
2008-05-23 04:44 * bumm13 thinks AA might be a good idea...
2008-05-23 04:45 < AdamBishop> arsonists anonymous?
2008-05-23 04:45 < bumm13> :P
2008-05-23 04:45 < cimon> Personally want to test the theory.
2008-05-23 04:45 < bumm13> oh, so you're a scientist, ah, makes complete sense now....
2008-05-23 04:45 < Luna-San> They're also handy if you have a nosebleed.
2008-05-23 04:45 < cimon> no good though, the sun is behind a building at the moment... so have to wait...
2008-05-23 04:46 < Mike_H> Luna-San: or a vaginableed.
2008-05-23 04:46 < cimon> Luna-San: Snopes confirmed that one was used to plug a bullet hole in Iraw.
2008-05-23 04:46 < cimon> *Iraw
2008-05-23 04:46 < lemuelf_> are the images on wikipedia showing up on you, guys?
2008-05-23 04:46 < cimon> *iraq even
2008-05-23 04:46 * Mike_H just renames the country Iraq.
2008-05-23 04:46 < Luna-San> Mike_H: Please, let's be sensible. Why would anybody use 'em for that? o.o
2008-05-23 04:46 < Mike_H> er
2008-05-23 04:46 < Mike_H> Iraw.
2008-05-23 04:46 < Mike_H> fail.
2008-05-23 04:47 < Luna-San> cimon: Heh. I did hear about that, wasn't sure if it was serious or not
2008-05-23 04:47 < Lycurgus> lemuelf_: yes.
2008-05-23 04:48 < Lycurgus> it's a caching problem in your browser
2008-05-23 04:48 < Lycurgus> (or other problem in your env)
2008-05-23 04:50 < lemuelf_> Lycurgus: I'm getting a wikimedia foundation error when I try to access the image's file
2008-05-23 04:50 < cimon> One of the most popular songs by the Sleepy Sleepers (known internationally as their english language form as the band Leningrad Cowboys) was called "Mr. Tampax", which was often sung by puberty age boys, when /me was included in that age group.
2008-05-23 04:50 < lemuelf_> Lycurgus: like with this file: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Song_Dynasty_Elegant_Party.JPG
2008-05-23 04:51 < bumm13> this conversation is.......a tad off :s
2008-05-23 04:51 < lemuelf_> Lycurgus: I get: Request: GET http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Song_Dynasty_Elegant_Party.JPG, from 213.42.23.73 via knsq4.knams.wikimedia.org (squid/2.6.STABLE18) to ()
2008-05-23 04:51 < lemuelf_> Error: ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, errno [No Error] at Fri, 23 May 2008 08:49:30 GMT
2008-05-23 04:51 < cimon> hah, with your nick, you should talk, bumm13
2008-05-23 04:51 < Lycurgus> no problem accessing it here
2008-05-23 04:52 < cimon> One line of the song went something like, "when your butt bleeds, I come to visit, I am Mr. Tampax..."
2008-05-23 04:52 < bumm13> two M's :)
2008-05-23 04:52 < bumm13> dude, that's just nasty
2008-05-23 04:53 < lemuelf_> Lycurgus: ok, seems like a problem in one of their CDNs or something
2008-05-23 04:53 < Lycurgus> CDN?
2008-05-23 04:53 * Luna-San nibbles on cimon
2008-05-23 04:53 < lemuelf_> Lycurgus: content delivery network
2008-05-23 04:53 < cimon> bumm13: there is a triple entendre there, but you need to know that "Tampere" is the finnish equivalent of Scotland...
2008-05-23 04:54 < lemuelf_> how do I get in touch with "Wikimedia System Administrators"?
2008-05-23 04:54 < Lycurgus> in view of the fact I had no problem accessing the given URL, my original hypothesis stands
2008-05-23 04:54 < cimon> Tampere was basically established by the Scottish John Finlayson.
2008-05-23 04:55 < cimon> so when people say they are going to Tampere, it is like saying they are going to Scotland or Canada in some parts.
2008-05-23 04:55 < Lycurgus> nice picture btw
2008-05-23 04:56 < Lycurgus> should be cropped to the dinner table though
2008-05-23 04:56 < Mike_H> lemuelf_: there are over 1000 of them
2008-05-23 04:56 < Mike_H> take your pick
2008-05-23 04:57 < AdamBishop> many of them are here, lemuelf_
2008-05-23 04:58 < Lycurgus> and I hate to say it but those awake may be ignoring you
2008-05-23 04:58 < lemuelf_> AdamBishop: so, I guess I'll just post the error here
2008-05-23 04:58 * cimon just realizes he has lied on the channel; when he said the most famous person he has personally pwned was the son of Milton Friedman. I pwned a very famous Finnish columnist in Tampere Philosophical symposium once...
2008-05-23 04:58 < Mike_H> lemuelf_: it's five in the morning, I'm totally not doing anything adminny right now
2008-05-23 04:58 < AdamBishop> well, that's not something admins can fix. I can see images perfectly well
2008-05-23 04:58 < Lycurgus> actually that was disingenous, I don't hate to say it
2008-05-23 04:59 < AdamBishop> you'd need...tech people
2008-05-23 04:59 < Lycurgus> TECH SUPPORT!
2008-05-23 04:59 < lemuelf_> I'm in Dubai, so I guess it's one of the CDNs?
2008-05-23 04:59 < Lycurgus> the CDN is a figment of your imagination
2008-05-23 05:00 < Lycurgus> there's only the wikipedia server farm and the net
2008-05-23 05:00 < lemuelf_> Lycurgus: ah, so wikipedia doesn't use a CDN, sorry
2008-05-23 05:00 * cimon pwned http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannu_Taanila
2008-05-23 05:02 < cimon> pwning Hannu Taanila in Tampere was sweet, partially because of the scottish connection of Tampere, combined with Taanila being a palpable cognate of Thane, and in particular because Taanila is considered the premier rhetorician of the Finnish language.
2008-05-23 05:03 < Lycurgus> curious since there's little connection between celtic and finno-urgic
2008-05-23 05:03 < cimon> If you have to pwn somebody verbally, you can't go much higher than Hannu Taanila in Finland.
2008-05-23 05:03 < AdamBishop> but Lycurgus, they are both Nostratic languages!
2008-05-23 05:03 < cimon> Lycurgus: not etymologically, just phonetically.
2008-05-23 05:04 < Lycurgus> and if not certainly both human languages, for all either do for us
2008-05-23 05:04 < cimon> AdamBishop: hah, yes, and even connected with the uralic-altaic, if you want to wear a tin-foil hat linguistic stance...
2008-05-23 05:04 < Lycurgus> nostratic is highly controversial btw
2008-05-23 05:05 < cimon> hence the tin-foil hat
2008-05-23 05:05 < Lycurgus> much more so than say universal grammar
2008-05-23 05:05 < Lycurgus> about which I've developed some reservations
2008-05-23 05:05 < Lycurgus> (i.e UG not Nostratic)
2008-05-23 05:06 < AdamBishop> yeah I don't get universal grammar
2008-05-23 05:06 < cimon> nostratic is very very close to aryan theory in regard to scientific respectability
2008-05-23 05:16 < Lady_Aleena> Anyone here read David Eddings?
2008-05-23 05:16 < Luna-San> You know what's funny? Some of the Euro coins blatantly have a penis on 'em. :x
2008-05-23 05:16 < Aqwis> deliberately?
2008-05-23 05:17 < Luna-San> Probably not.
2008-05-23 05:19 < Luna-San> [[Image:Euro coins version II.png]] <-- check out the 1 and 2 Euro coins, Finland/Sweden are kinda cut off just so
2008-05-23 05:20 < bumm13> you have a big imagination ;p
2008-05-23 05:21 < AdamBishop> I found a Bahamian quarter in the car today
2008-05-23 05:22 < bumm13> nice :-)

2008-05-23 09:58 < Fire> hi Rjd0060
2008-05-23 09:58 < Rjd0060> Hi
2008-05-23 10:08 < mattbuck> hooray for people vandalising my userpage
2008-05-23 10:08 < bbot> hooooray
2008-05-23 10:08 < mattbuck> apparently I am a "gay piece of shit"
2008-05-23 10:08 < mattbuck> which is strange, since I didn't realise defections could have sexualities
2008-05-23 10:08 < Rjd0060> Congratulations, and welcome to that club
2008-05-23 10:09 * Flo_1 is in there too
2008-05-23 10:09 < Flo_1> (vandalized userpage)
2008-05-23 10:09 < mattbuck> ah, but have users vandalised OTHER pages to include your name?
2008-05-23 10:09 < nsh> mattbuck, apparantly, however, defecations can have affectations
2008-05-23 10:09 < Flo_1> no
2008-05-23 10:10 < Flo_1> my userpage has been wandalized too
2008-05-23 10:10 < Rjd0060> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rjd0060&action=edit&redlink=1 Like that?
2008-05-23 10:11 < mattbuck> ubergay... impressive
2008-05-23 10:11 < Mm40> lol
2008-05-23 10:12 < Flo_1> but the important part of that sentence is "has been" :D (edit=autoconfirmed)
2008-05-23 10:12 < Fire> I am in that club too.
2008-05-23 10:12 < Mm40> I wanna see a page that says: "John Doe is uber heterosexual"
2008-05-23 10:12 < Mm40> =)
2008-05-23 10:13 < mattbuck> jordan whitham is a mechaphiliac though
2008-05-23 10:15 < mattbuck> http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/7328/94641048lp4.gif there are some very strange people in this world
2008-05-23 10:18 < bumm13> I'm surprised someone hasn't beaten him violently yet (being in Missouri)
2008-05-23 10:25 < Messedrocker> no bumm13 but i am sure he has been beaten peacefully
2008-05-23 10:28 < bumm13> emphasis does not necessarily reflect redundancy, lil' punk kid :)
2008-05-23 10:30 < Messedrocker> imagine if LaGuardia Airport chose the first three letters of their name as their IATA abbreviation
2008-05-23 10:30 < Messedrocker> LAG
2008-05-23 10:31 < bbot> I bet it would take forever to taxi from the terminal.
2008-05-23 10:48 < Fire> re
2008-05-23 10:49 < bbot> Fire+re = Firey?
2008-05-23 11:02 < gwern> bbot: I think it's irregular - fiery
2008-05-23 11:03 < bbot> Pfft. You and your correct spelling.
2008-05-23 11:04 < gwern> firy, firery, firey - they all look odd, unless you flip re to er and get fiery
2008-05-23 11:05 < Messedrocker> fiery
2008-05-23 11:11 < Broooooooce> ARRRRRR
2008-05-23 11:11 < bbot> ARRRRRRRRRRRR
2008-05-23 11:11 < Broooooooce> Im gonna scream. Encylopedias should not make people want to scream.
2008-05-23 11:12 < cctoide> what about that book in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts library
2008-05-23 11:12 < cctoide> well, I guess that's a screaming encyclopedia, but still
2008-05-23 11:12 < bbot> Broooooooce: Have you tried crying, emokid?
2008-05-23 11:13 < Broooooooce> now bawwwwww for me.

2008-05-23 11:17 < Messedrocker> boy was that a close race
2008-05-23 11:17 < gwern> Broooooooce: could be worse. harry potter had a textbook that wanted to eat him
2008-05-23 11:19 < Dendodge> http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fiery is Wiktionary saying fiery is correct
2008-05-23 11:20 < bbot> Dendodge: Yes, wiktionary, the famed bastion of truth.
2008-05-23 11:20 < Dendodge> well, it's a dictionary!
2008-05-23 11:20 < Aqwis> err.
2008-05-23 11:20 < Aqwis> it *is* fiery, you know.
2008-05-23 11:20 < gwern> are you surprised? I said 'fiery' was correct, did I not?
2008-05-23 11:20 < Messedrocker> gwerninander!
2008-05-23 11:21 < gwern> messedrockerinander!
2008-05-23 11:24 < Messedrocker> its "Messedrockinander"
2008-05-23 11:24 < bbot> Yeah, but then it doesn't line up.
2008-05-23 11:25 < bbot> Dendodge: Aqwis: gwern: Misread the url as "firey"
2008-05-23 11:26 < gwern> bbot appreciates my wording!
2008-05-23 11:26 < Messedrocker> THIRD TIME I FELL

2008-05-23 11:46 < Messedrocker> mario kart

This led to obituary address for Birkhoff by Norbert Wiener that Birkhoff "was the first among us and he accepted that fact."'

2008-05-23 13:15 < axyjo> is this a global error?

2008-05-23 13:16 < BigBlackMan_08> by attributing them to yourself and claiming copyright?

In 1935, Shaw licensed rights to produce a film (also called Pygmalion) based on his published, copyrighted play. Copyright in the film expired through a failure to timely renew.

2008-05-23 14:17 < yigal> is there a way to view wikipedia without the sidebar on the left?
2008-05-23 14:18 < yigal> that is, is there a way to view the content of articles on for example firefox without the extra stuff on the left, "navigation,interaction,search"?
2008-05-23 14:18 < KingOfAll> Not serverside, you might be able to get your client to strip it out, but I don't know how.
2008-05-23 14:19 < yigal> so try and provide my own css file for example, ok
2008-05-23 14:19 < yigal> change the header
2008-05-23 14:19 < yigal> curl to the rescue
2008-05-23 14:19 < KingOfAll> Greasemonkey?
2008-05-23 14:19 < yigal> would that do it, I am not familiar with this tool
2008-05-23 14:20 < yigal> I will look at it
2008-05-23 14:20 < KingOfAll> I've never used client-side javascript, but it sounds like the kind of think it was meant to do.
2008-05-23 14:20 < KingOfAll> *thing
2008-05-23 14:21 < yigal> I will check it out
2008-05-23 14:21 < yigal> thank you
2008-05-23 14:24 < yigal> yes I found something promising called "boring css" :)
2008-05-23 14:24 < KingOfAll> Maybe, but it's not a css issue.
2008-05-23 14:25 < yigal> it's content, but if I can restrict the content in the "sidebar", not sure what it is called I haven't gone source digging yet, then that is one dirty possibility I would be willing to live with
2008-05-23 14:26 < Fire> Hi Witch.
2008-05-23 14:27 < haza-w> Could someone delete [[Dundee township park district]] per G6 so that I can move the page history from [[User:DundeeParkDist]]?
2008-05-23 14:27 < haza-w> Blocking that user per [[WP:U]] as a promotional username wouldn't go amiss either...

2008-05-23 17:52 < Messedrocker> :)
2008-05-23 17:52 < Leslie_S> i talked to her for a few seconds
2008-05-23 17:52 < Leslie_S> about how busy the place was
2008-05-23 17:52 < Sfan00> Leslie_S: Well Gender as it's been understood is dying
2008-05-23 17:52 < Leslie_S> Sfan00 you know im transsexual myself, right?
2008-05-23 17:53 < Leslie_S> i just thought it was really cool
2008-05-23 17:53 < Leslie_S> I wouldve brought up the subject, but i'm not gonna talk about that in public!
2008-05-23 17:53 < Leslie_S> and not with a total stranger
2008-05-23 17:53 < Sfan00> I don't consider that relevant provided you aren't some kind of militant Trans-kook )
2008-05-23 17:54 < Leslie_S> Sfan00 honestly, thats the only reason i clocked her though
2008-05-23 17:54 < Leslie_S> she passed fine, but i could just tell
2008-05-23 17:55 < Leslie_S> anyway, so when i filled out the form for the license, i didnt check a box for male or female.
2008-05-23 17:56 < Leslie_S> i started to, and then thought..hmm, maybe theyll make a "mistake" and make me female

2008-05-23 17:57 < Messedrocker> Mercuritian prostitutes are the best
2008-05-23 17:57 < Sfan00> 't that friendly to alien refugees
2008-05-23 17:57 < Messedrocker> Mercurtian.
2008-05-23 17:57 < Messedrocker> I prefer "Mercurian". But that must be my Southern side showing
2008-05-23 17:58 < Leslie_S> how come wayne county airport authority police can pull people over on public streets?
2008-05-23 17:58 < Cream> Messedrocker, any of them disposable and cheap?
2008-05-23 17:58 < Leslie_S> that got a WTF out of me yesterday, i saw them pull someone over
2008-05-23 17:58 * Sfan00 notes that the structure of the First Terran Portal is somewhat complex
2008-05-23 17:58 < Sfan00> You have Translators
2008-05-23 17:59 < Sfan00> Routers and beyond the routers you have the Switchers with in the 'TrunkNet'
2008-05-23 17:59 < Messedrocker> Cream, I don't have access to any Mercurian prostitutes. I gave all of mine as a bribe
2008-05-23 17:59 < Sfan00> Of course Switchers are aiming for binary compatibility
2008-05-23 18:00 < Sfan00> with the entirity of the celestial exchnage
2008-05-23 18:00 < Leslie_S> so you guys wont be seeing so much of me for the next month
2008-05-23 18:00 < Leslie_S> but i'll come when i have wifi access
2008-05-23 18:01 < Sfan00> Messedrocker : Switchers of course don't like disruptive phreakers
2008-05-23 18:01 < Sfan00> although they normal defer actual removal of disruptive phreakers to translators...
2008-05-23 18:01 < Messedrocker> Ignore the propaganda. Mercury is a terrible tourist destination. Resources are scarce and the Revolution is not delivering on its promise of procuring more from neighboring planets
2008-05-23 18:02 < Sfan00> How are it relations with Venus?
2008-05-23 18:02 < Messedrocker> cut off
2008-05-23 18:02 < Leslie_S> the revolution? the ron paul revolution?
2008-05-23 18:02 < Messedrocker> Mercury has no extraplanetary relations
2008-05-23 18:02 < Messedrocker> no Leslie_S the Lesbian Revolution
2008-05-23 18:02 < Sfan00> I know that there was some British Involvment in 'liberating' Venus in the mid 50's
2008-05-23 18:03 < Sfan00> MessedRocker (See [[Dan Dare]] & [[Mekon]])
2008-05-23 18:03 < Leslie_S> and sigh, i hate life :(
2008-05-23 18:03 < Leslie_S> i essentially got fucked out of ATLEAST $1000 that ill never see again
2008-05-23 18:03 < Sfan00> MessedRocker:Mecury is pro-gay?
2008-05-23 18:04 < Leslie_S> i mean, im gonna do everything i can to get the fucker prosecuted and all, but....i highly doubt ill see the money again :(
2008-05-23 18:04 < Sfan00> Leslie_S: Con artist, or a thief?
2008-05-23 18:04 < Sfan00> Do you have a picture or a name?
2008-05-23 18:05 < Leslie_S> Sfan00 both. its my fucking roommate. i know where he works and i know his name and what he looks like.
2008-05-23 18:05 < Leslie_S> and i cant get him off the lease unless i get him to sign off
2008-05-23 18:05 < Leslie_S> so i dont know what to do :(
2008-05-23 18:06 < Sfan00> Hmm
2008-05-23 18:06 < Sfan00> Try asking for advice on #Wiredtape ::)
2008-05-23 18:06 < Sfan00> I am assuming the dispute is related to tennancy laws..
2008-05-23 18:06 < Leslie_S> why?
2008-05-23 18:07 < Sfan00> It sounded like it
2008-05-23 18:07 < Sfan00> If not then a strightforward theft should be easily dealt with by the cops )
2008-05-23 18:08 < Leslie_S> yes.
2008-05-23 18:08 < Leslie_S> he has a fucking key.
2008-05-23 18:08 < Sfan00> What did the 1000 USD relate to ?
2008-05-23 18:08 < Sfan00> Was it money you had in flat, or was it the deposit or down rent?
2008-05-23 18:14 < Messedrocker> Leslie_S, Sfan00, I am/was the Lieutenant Governor of Southern Mercury. Mercury pre-Revolution had a world government divided into two districts. I was second-in-command of the Southern half. Mercury is scorching hot and resources are extremely limited, and Drew Lesbian organized many supporters and overthrew the World Government. Being the fourth most important person on the planet, I fled so that I wouldn't get executed.
2008-05-23 18:14 < Leslie_S> Sfan00 $500 in electronics and stuff, plus about $350 in bills he used to pay, plus $200 extra for the phone bill he racked up (WHAT THE FUCK?)
2008-05-23 18:15 < Sfan00> You had recipets for the electronics>
2008-05-23 18:15 < Sfan00> ?
2008-05-23 18:16 < Messedrocker> From what I have heard from my transmissions, which occur once every 700 Earth years, Lesbian Mercury has been divided up into many new districts instead of the good old fasioned North-of-the-equator and South-of-the-equator
2008-05-23 18:18 < Leslie_S> omg, i cant believe 1000 minutes a month plus free nights and weekends wasnt enough on my cell phone
2008-05-23 18:21 < Mm40> I really need someone who knows a lot about the Thirty Years' War
2008-05-23 18:31 < Mm40> Europe in the 17th century?

2008-05-23 18:41 < rw> hey cat =)
2008-05-23 18:48 < Messedrocker> There are six different types of quark, usually known as flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. (Their names do not indicate anything about their properties, but were chosen arbitrarily based on the need to name them something that could be easily remembered and used.)
2008-05-23 18:48 < Messedrocker> Quantum mechanics is so freaking strange for all the retardedly simple names they give to such complicated constructs
2008-05-23 19:09 < p858snake> i used to get a daily wikipedia email with the article of the day and a few other things what ever happened to that?
2008-05-23 19:14 < Leslie_S> i wish i could get a fat girlfriend
2008-05-23 19:14 < Leslie_S> ;/
2008-05-23 19:14 < ST47> ;;

2008-05-23 19:16 < ST47> >.>
2008-05-23 19:16 < ST47> Scared him off?
2008-05-23 19:17 < bbot> scared him right out of his hostmask.
2008-05-23 19:17 < Sfan00> I ma here
2008-05-23 19:17 < Sfan00> *am
2008-05-23 19:18 < ST47> was referring to sky :)
2008-05-23 19:18 < p858snake> i could of sworn you were overe there (points to chair)
2008-05-23 19:18 < Enok|Walker> wats up gang
2008-05-23 19:18 < Sfan00> You can't get rid of a 'translator' in the First Terran Portal that easily ::)
2008-05-23 19:18 < ST47> could have, thank you very much.
2008-05-23 19:18 < ST47> Sfan00: What?
2008-05-23 19:19 < Sfan00> St47: You don't know about the First Terran Portal to the Outer Space>
2008-05-23 19:19 < Sfan00> ?
2008-05-23 19:19 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-05-23 19:19 < ST47> :)
2008-05-23 19:19 * ST47 pretends to follow along
2008-05-23 19:21 < Sfan00> The First Terran Portal to the Outer Space is a 'pusedo-spiritual' organisation
2008-05-23 19:21 < ST47> Like Scientology, sort of?
2008-05-23 19:21 * ST47 sees
2008-05-23 19:21 < Sfan00> concerned with helping people gain compatibility (ultimatly binary)
2008-05-23 19:21 < Sfan00> with the celestial exchange
2008-05-23 19:21 < ST47> What?
2008-05-23 19:21 < bbot> So, it's a cult?
2008-05-23 19:21 < Sfan00> ST47: FTP is NOT like CoS
2008-05-23 19:22 < ST47> I ee
2008-05-23 19:22 < Sfan00> bbot: Cults require propriatry interfaces
2008-05-23 19:22 < bbot> Sfan00: Whereas your cult just requires talking lots of drugs.
2008-05-23 19:22 < Sfan00> FTP-OS merely requires an open and compatible interface
2008-05-23 19:22 < Sfan00> bbot: Some drugs impair compatibility
2008-05-23 19:22 < Sfan00> or disrupt interface behaviour abnormally
2008-05-23 19:23 < Sfan00> Ideally you need an un-impaired or non-degraded interface to gain compatibility
2008-05-23 19:24 < Sfan00> It should of course be obivous that durg use leads to a degraded interface
2008-05-23 19:27 < Sfan00> Within the FTP protocols there are layers of interface
2008-05-23 19:27 < Sfan00> Ultimatly the goal is that evryone works at 'Switcher' level and thus interface directly with binary compatibility to the celestial exchange
2008-05-23 19:27 < Sfan00> Below switchers are 'Routers'
2008-05-23 19:28 < Enok|Walker> wat wat
2008-05-23 19:28 < Sfan00> and below them are Translators who try to explain the protocols to people outside the Portal :)
2008-05-23 19:28 < Leslie_S> i am so happy that i got my CDL today :D
2008-05-23 19:28 < rw> hi, does anyone know more details about the torrentspy shutdown?
2008-05-23 19:28 < Leslie_S> if only i had money to drink to celebrate
2008-05-23 19:29 < Sfan00> torrentspy got shut down for linking to copyvio IIRC?
2008-05-23 19:30 < rw> Hm, how will they pay the 110 m to the mppa
2008-05-23 19:30 < rw> mpaa*
2008-05-23 19:32 < rw> or better: WHO will pay this sum?
2008-05-23 19:33 < Sfan00> rw: The MPAA will find ways to recover the costs
2008-05-23 19:35 < rw> yes, i am sure of that ;) but, i mean, does that mean that the fuys from spytorrent will habe to pay for the rest of their lives?
2008-05-23 19:47 < Jedravent> test
2008-05-23 19:48 < StoryTeller> If you go into this one tiny, dingy one-story bar in Paris, and the right bartender is behind the counter that night, you might be able to see a very exclusive gallery show of the lost works of one Henri Beauchamp.
2008-05-23 19:48 < StoryTeller> But, to get in, you have to prove you're a devotee of the artist to get in.
2008-05-23 19:49 < StoryTeller> You'll be asked, in clear and perfect English, "What would like to partake of this glorious night?".
2008-05-23 19:49 < StoryTeller> Answer absinthe, no matter what.
2008-05-23 19:49 < StoryTeller> Any other drink, from whiskey to water, will kill you as you sleep.
2008-05-23 19:49 < StoryTeller> The next question will regard the type, and you MUST answer one of two things: "The stuff that Man himself could not bear to take," or, "The good stuff. The best stuff."
2008-05-23 19:51 < bbot> Righto.
2008-05-23 19:53 < Enok|Walker> NOES I must hear the rest!!1
