12:19 <@xeno> [io9 continues to beat their cocks raw over JJ Abrams, this time under the heading "Is JJ Abrams the New Joss Whedon?"]
12:20 <@xeno> if i had been the first to comment, i would have just wrote Fuck you.
12:23 <@ejp> is abrams the new whedon? well, no. see whedon made good tv/movies, abrams doesn't.
12:23 <@ejp> that's the major difference.
12:24 <@ejp> also, whedon looks like a huggable geek, abrams looks like a metrosexual cocktard.
12:24 <@solios> whedon writes great characters across a broad spectrum. Abrams writes whiners.
12:24 <@ejp> "Write what you know"
12:25 <@solios> I rest my case.

Bottom line : Whedon brings compelling characters and The Funny. Abrams has yet to achieve either.

12:23 <@esch> MOTHER FUCK.
12:24 <@mdxi> not a heinlein fan, thanks

16:54 <@solios> it took me THREE HOURS* to go waterfront -> lowes -> home.
16:54 <@solios> :|
16:54 <@ejp> you went to *lowes*.
16:54 <@ejp> that's terrifies me
16:55 <@solios> I started at target.
16:55 <@solios> < me> fans?
16:55 <@solios> < thing> we done sold those.
16:55 <@solios> < me> uh.
16:55 <@solios> < thing2> last week!
16:55 <@solios> < me> ...
16:55 <@solios> so, Lowes.
16:55 <@ejp> fans?
16:55 <+fagbot> fans are even bigger idiots in both cases.
16:55 <@ejp> it's october
16:56 <@solios> fans should not be seasonal.
16:56 <@ejp> gotta put the heaters somewhere.
16:56 <@solios> target had those wee fan+heater things.
16:56 <@solios> which I need about as much as a fourth anus.
17:10 <@xeno> solios: they don't make fans in october
17:11 <@xeno> and why do you need a fan in october?
17:18 <@solios> my fan died.
17:18 <@solios> no white noise, no sleep.
17:18 <@solios> ever.
17:19 <@solios> EVER.
17:19 <@solios> ask bda.**
17:19 <@xeno> they make white noise machines
17:19 <@xeno> and those are available all year long
17:19 <@solios> need a breeze too
17:19 <@solios> or I sweat like an ice cold beer. :P
17:19 <@xeno> open a window :P
17:20 <@solios> fagbot: doot xeno
17:20 <+fagbot> well, that's as low as I've been able to get
17:20 <@solios> xeno: the fans gives me both.
17:37 <@xeno> not anymore.
17:37 <@xeno> now it ain't doin' shit.
17:37 <@xeno> and in the meantime, you're apt to find a white noise machine easier than a fan
17:38 <@xeno> and opening the window is Free
17:38 <@xeno> and come to think of it, there's all kinds of noise out there
17:38 <@solios> I got a fan.
17:38 <@solios> two, actually.
17:38 <@solios> just in case one Prefers Not To.
17:39 <@solios> got it at Lowes.
17:39 <@solios> :|
17:39 <@xeno> then what...
17:39 <@xeno> fagbot: doot solios
17:39 <+fagbot> PARTY!!! LET'S GO LADIES!!! LET'S SEE THOSE TITTIES!!!
17:39 <@solios> I tried target first.
17:39 <@solios> :P
17:39 <@xeno> yeah, you could have said No i got a fan
17:39 <@xeno> instead of letting me ramble on.
17:39 <@xeno> assface.
17:39 <@xeno> you owe me 15 calories.

* My coworker Matt drove me from work (5pm) to the Waterfront (~5:20?). Then a walk from Jahniggle to Target.... Target had sold all of their fans... Call Steve on the walk out; he mentions Lowes as a likely pickup point. Walk from Target (at one end of a ped-hostile "high class" stripmall) to Lowes (at the other end - you could park my sister's boat and one of her sister ships end-to-end with room to spare), parse Lowes, wait forever in line at Lowes, figure FUCK THAT and use the self-checkout; deal with the hilarity that is Lowe's Self Checkout for a good 10-20 minutes. Wonder why both Lowes and Target male staff have PA accents while the girls all sound like they've been squirted out of some kind of back alley Louisiana gang bang. Hump two box fans (plus the rest of my daily kit) to the Jahniggle bus stop. Buy a Lipton Iced Tea. Wait. Whip out the DS. Wait some more. Bus finally shows up. Ride bus from Waterfront through Homestead, Squirrel Hill (late rush hour, so we're on that hill for a Lesser Forever), Oakland, South Side. Walk a couple of blocks and DS some more instead of humping another eight blocks just to see how long it takes for the bus to show up. Home. Stow the spare fan, plug in the real fan, notice the Dead Fan and the New Fan are both Lasko. Check the time. ALMOST EIGHT. WHERE IS MY TIME FOR LIFE?!?!?!. Rush some freelance and head for the bar. Bar. Return. Write a nice big * and lose track of ([]).

Bed prep. Doritos, gatorade, and Dexter. Jennifer Carpenter. Happiness.

** I refer to my first time in Philly, in which the Overwhelming Silence CRUSHED MY SOUL and I wound up sleeping with my head in harb's closet, my ear as close to hyperion (his firewall/server at the time) as I could get it without pressing metal.

01:42 < solios> third shift has FANTASTIC benefits. All of my bills are paid up. I make payday with hundreds in the bank instead of pennies. I can go shopping and do chores without it killing my work schedule.
01:42 < solios> But I'm very, very isolated. And that has a tendency to make the thought proecess become a bit... ingrown.
01:42 < vai> yep.

Global Silly Day? I'm down. Sometimes it actually makes me smile. Every news site thinking they're The Onion for 24 hours? Okay. Not my idea of humor, but fine, whatever. Webcomics circlejerking each other? They do that year-round anyway, so it's not like anyone's going to notice. The hairpulling isn't the internet circlejerk. It's The Long Tail of the internet circlejerk. Stories and links and screenshots surfacing and resurfacing over the next two to eight weeks like floaters refusing to flush, picked up and spread around the porcelain walls of the intertub by the clueless users who haven't bothered to read the instructions on their water wings.

One day of silly? Okay. Weeks and weeks of wannabes trying to relive Silly Day? Check your calendar. It's April First. Not April tenth or May fourth or July thirty-seventh.

Is there a medical term for Hate Exhaustion?

More importantly, is there a cure?

06:20 <@xeno> fuck i hate today
06:20 <@_Lasar> Stop looking at the web.
06:20 <@_Lasar> I do (except for work things), and 4/1 is keeping its head down nicely.
06:25 <@xeno> i can't, it's like a bad tooth
06:25 <@solios> no
06:25 <@xeno> or a train wreck
06:25 <@solios> not really.
06:25 <@xeno> just can't stop looking, horrified more and more, and yet, unable to stop
06:25 <@solios> no.
06:25 <@solios> it's a bottle of mad dog 20/20 at the end of a really shitty day.
06:26 <@solios> you know it's vile.
06:26 <@solios> you know it's fucking horrible.
06:26 <@solios> you know you wouldn't otherwise wipe your ass with it.
06:26 <@solios> but god damn you need a fix.
07:25 <@xeno> i had a nightmare last night that i opened my fridge and the door was all the flavors of 20/20
07:25 <@xeno> for real i did
07:25 <@xeno> it was horrible
07:25 <@xeno> and that's all. there. was.

07:26 <@xeno> STOP PULLING YOUR ANALOGIES FROM MY DREAMS

10:22 < mdxi> variable-geometry gravitic drive
10:22 < mdxi> fall through space in any direction, instantly!
10:22 <@ejp> something like that
10:22 < solios> I still think *real* near-future space combat would likely be warheadless missiles (kinetic impact is enough) and beam weapons. With the biggest headache being debris/micrometiorites
10:23 < solios> mdxi: what the Sabrosa almost has.
10:23 < mdxi> i was stealing the idea from Honor Harrington (although theirs seem to operate mostly in one direction. maybe the author just didn't fully think through the implications)
10:24 <@ejp> honorverse tech does a good job, IMO, of being advanced, while still leaving plot.
10:25 < solios> :o
10:25 < solios> I'd like to think I'm doing similar.
10:25 < mdxi> agree. its biggest problem is the same problem Horatio Hornblower did
10:25 < solios> trying hard to impose the idea of a distribution curve.
10:25 < mdxi> which is no surprise, as it's a gigantic tribute
10:25 < solios> wherein the sabrosa is The Most Advanced and the daedalus and cheops are among The Most Common
10:25 < mdxi> the lead character is basically infallible, and has done everything
10:25 < solios> (think, say.... F-35 vs. F-16)
10:26 <@ejp> mdxi: yes.
10:26 < solios> mdxi: hah.
10:26 < mdxi> so it's great for 3-5 books, maybe
10:26 < mdxi> the first few are definitely awesome
10:26 < solios> infallible--
10:27 * solios likes it when defficiencies define characters.
10:27 <@ejp> I read book 1, 2 is sitting there waiting.
10:27 <@ejp> along with Old Man's War and Last Colony.
10:28 < mdxi> solios: she doesn't start out infallible, just very skilled and aptitudinous. and lucky.
10:29 < mdxi> but within a few books, it's clear she's the single most advanced human in teh entire universe
10:29 <@ejp> and full of goo. MISSON GOO.
10:29 < mdxi> except for her own lingering self-doubt
10:29 < mdxi> (just like Hornblower)
10:29 < solios> heh.
10:30 < mdxi> Admiral Hornblower never had a telepathic six-toed cat tho
10:30 <@ejp> who eats celery.
10:30 < solios> everybody in ATC is either crazy, a functioning drug addict, dead, mostly dead, or some combination of [the four].
10:30 < mdxi> hahahahahaha

11:08 <@xeno> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
11:08 <@xeno> "Honey, I named a dinosaur after you! The BIG FUCKING FAT ONES."
11:09 <@rez> Andrew Carnegie is now my hero.
11:09 <@solios> \o/
11:09 <@rez> Nothing says "I hate you" like naming a fat reptile after your wife.
11:10 <@xeno> yeah, really. what'd the apatosaurs ever do to him?!
11:11 <@ejp> andrew didn't do the naming.
11:12 <@ejp> "A. louisae was named by William Holland in 1915 in honor of Mrs. Louise Carnegie, wife of Andrew Carnegie who funded field research to find complete dinosaur skeletons in the American West."
11:12 <@xeno> ejp: do we fuck with your illusions?
11:12 <@ejp> yes.
11:12 <@ejp> pretty much constantly.
11:12 <@xeno> oh.
11:12 <@xeno> well.
11:12 <@xeno> good.

22:03 <@ejp> You know, I really really much prefer The Wire's one case=one season flow instead of all the other crime shows's one case=one SHOW pace.
22:12 < solios> yes, one case one season is fantastic.
22:13 <@ejp> medical stuff like house can get away with. crime stuff it's just stupid.
22:13 <@ejp> I never realized *how* stupid until The Wire.
22:13 <@ejp> I CAN HAS SEEN TEH LITE!
22:13 < solios> yup.
22:13 <@bda> Louis and I were talking about The Wire at lunch, trying to get Jenn to watch it.
22:13 <@ejp> AND IT WAS GUD! NOM NOM NOM
22:14 < solios> the 42 Minute Formula is shit. I piss on its grave.
22:14 <@bda> Indeed.
22:15 < solios> I love The Wire not just because it's good, but because it's the first show that has an attention span similar to mine.
22:16 < solios> B5 did a good job with the Overplot but was still ultimately a bunch of episodes with a few scenes of a longer story interlinked. I haven't seen any scifi that gets close to The Wire's intricacy.
22:18 <@bda> solios: BSG coulda. Pity about the suck.
22:22 < solios> bda: yeah, BSG almost went there.
22:22 < solios> then it decided it would rather be a shitty fire-and-forget soap opera.

06:37 <@_Lasar> Speaking of suck.
06:37 <@_Lasar> I saw AVP2 yesterday.
06:38 <@solios> oh?
06:38 <@solios> was it full of GOO?
06:38 <@_Lasar> Sure as hell.
06:38 <@_Lasar> If you like people and Aliens being torn apart, go see it.
06:38 <@solios> did it suck less than AVP1?
06:38 <@_Lasar> There wasn't much else to it
06:38 <@solios> that's all AVP1 should have been.
06:38 <@_Lasar> I don't even remember much of 1
06:38 <@_Lasar> But I think it sucked more.
06:39 <@_Lasar> They didn't even _pretend_ to have a "story".
06:39 <@solios> instead, Stay Puft predators and Bad Backstory
06:39 <@solios> sweet.
06:39 <@_Lasar> Let me sum up the movie
06:39 <@_Lasar> - Spacecraft with an Alien/Predator hybrid and a bunch of hand-thingie aliens crash on earth
06:40 <@_Lasar> - Mountain town is decimated
06:40 <@_Lasar> - Gubment drops bomb on town
06:40 <@_Lasar> - The end
06:40 <@_Lasar> No, scratch that
06:40 <@_Lasar> - Dumb joke
06:40 <@_Lasar> - The end
06:41 <@_Lasar> Oops, forgot that a Predator comes to earth to battle the hybrind and the aliens.
06:41 <@_Lasar> But that hardly mattered.

11:22 <@solios> HOW is it after two.
11:22 <@solios> I got home at 7am, and that was, like, an hour ago.

I swear, my sense of time and my biorhythm have been abducted by Trafalmadorians. Or was. Or will be. Or whatever.

06:22 <@solios> this is fucking horrible.
06:22 <@xeno> yes.
06:22 <@solios> (I'm like....

06:22 <@xeno> what gave it away? Sci-Fi Original?
06:23 <@ejp> solios: oh. it gets better.
06:23 <@solios> and it's all Setup and Exposition Badly Disguised As Dialogue
06:23 <@xeno> that's as far as I got.
06:23 <@xeno> exposition--
06:24 <@ejp> while I agree that Tin Man is a little heavy handed with the exposition, it is helpful
06:24 <@xeno> exposition--
06:24 <@xeno> always.
06:29 <@solios> ejp: I dunno, this is, so far, 15 minutes of doing Incredibly Badly what The Original did Incredibly Well in 5.
06:29 <@xeno> took me forever to convince it to go away
06:29 <@solios> this is like Lexx tried to do an Oz episode.
06:29 <@xeno> solios: just stosadjklfas;df
06:29 <@xeno> fuck you i liked Lexx.
06:29 <@xeno> but yeah, the comparison stands.
06:55 <@solios> THE ACTING. >_<
06:55 <@xeno> STOP WATCHING IT
06:55 <@xeno> dumbass
06:55 <@solios> no
06:55 <@solios> it's the only thing making me feel good about the current ATC page. :P
06:55 <@xeno> asdklfj;asdfj
06:55 <@xeno> solios++
06:56 <@solios> too many things I need to (easily) fix after I wake up.

Bad writing. Really incredibly bad acting, which indicates really incredibly bad directing. Adequate production design that doesn't mean shit given the bad writing and the really bad acting. This is somewhere below Phoning It In. Possibly even somewhere below porn.

Some good concepts, a decent score... the thing that's keeping my interest, oddly enough, is that Tin Man has a very Dark Tower feel to it. Not the "painkillers and pop culture" flavor of the last couple of books, but the "long after Mad Max" vibe of the second and third installments. And that might turn out to be a good thing.

12:27 < esch> [the TNG bathroom]
12:28 < solios> hah.
12:28 < solios> my dad and I theorized long and hard about bathrooms on the ENT-D
12:29 < solios> at least the ENT-A actually had one on the bridge.
12:29 <@rjbs> they don't need them
12:29 <@rjbs> replicated food can be entirely digested
12:29 <@rjbs> so there is no waste product
12:29 <@rjbs> this leads to a horrible problem, though
12:29 <@rjbs> the crews of starships eat replicated food all the time, and their sphincters atrophy
12:30 <@rjbs> and when they take shore leave, they have trouble controlling their bowels
12:30 <@rjbs> leading to what is commonly known as "Risa Stains"

18:38 <@ejp> so, "Highlander: The Source"
18:39 <@solios> don't tell me you actually watched it.
18:39 <@ejp> watchING.
18:39 <@ejp> 30 minutes in
18:39 <@solios> :<
18:40 <@ejp> it's...unspeakable.
18:41 <@solios> the director and the tag "sci-fi original" said as much.
18:41 <@ejp> it's worth downloading just for the horror
18:42 <@solios> lies.
18:42 <@ejp> it's like a video game. it even uses the Quake1-3 palette
18:42 <@solios> brown?
18:42 <@ejp> yes.
18:42 <@ejp> though it just went bloo
18:43 <@solios> :o
18:43 <@solios> no wonder xeno hates it.
18:43 <@ejp> dude. it even has a hugely fat man!
18:43 <@ejp> this is awesome
18:43 <@solios> \o/
18:43 <@ejp> like, Q4-boss fat
18:43 <@solios> nice.

19:10 <@ejp> er. they didn't use the Queen song. they used a COVER of the Queen song.

11:11 <@xeno> the only thing FFT had going for it was the story afaic
11:11 <@xeno> which was pretty strong for a game
11:11 <@xeno> but the rest of it was >_<
11:11 <@solios> heh.
11:12 <@xeno> i slogged through it just to find out what happened
11:12 <@solios> FFTA pretty much didn't have a story.
11:12 <@solios> which I was fine with.
11:12 <@xeno> but it was almost as bad as the slog through ffviii
11:12 <@solios> what there was of a story was really good, imo.
11:12 <@solios> hah.
11:12 <@solios> dude.
11:12 <@solios> I thought the story for 8 sucked.
11:12 <@solios> which made giving up on it when I got Stuck a painless thing.
11:12 <@xeno> so did i, but by the time i realized it, it was too late
11:12 <@solios> if the characters hadn't been 2-dimensional plonks I might've cared.

* If he says so. I'm done with playing Yet Another Androgynous Young Male Protagonist, no matter how {awesome|tortured} the developers insist "he" is. That game's been made, remade, deconstructed and redeconstructed. It is old and it is tired and the developers keep pumping it out because it hasn't been made, remade, deconstructed and redeconstructed for THIS platform yet! Fuck fishing and fuck golf and fuck snowboarding. When do we get a shaving minigame? When do we get male characters that actually look like men? When do we get female characters that actually look like real women and not the injection-molded mannequins game designers seem to think represent the gender? This crap was great when I was twelve but I haven't been twelve for a really, really long time.

03:46 < solios> I hope that's real.
03:46 < vai> [ it is ]
03:47 < solios> I hate web 2.0
03:47 < solios> (pancakes & sausage on a stick)++
03:47 < vai> upgrade to 2.1, more smarm per inch.
03:47 < vai> solios: WITH CLOCOLATE CHIPS
03:48 < vai> fagbot: doot cloacal chips.
03:48 < solios> does it have the blogospheres and the social and the livetubes?
03:48 < fagbot> THE GOLDEN RULE: SHUT UP
03:49 < vai> livetubes core duo, blogododecagons and so social that you're guaranteed to catch a disease.
03:49 < solios> I'd like to downgrade back to 1.0, plz.
03:49 < solios> 1997 would be fine.
03:49 < solios> only with modern stable non-shitty web browsers.
03:52 < vai> when there where 40 websites and half of them thought their java menus were the BEST

15:09 < mdxi> "The teleporters used in Star Trek are said to have been based on the idea of quantum entanglement..."

15:10 <@bda> :(
15:10 <@rjbs> dude
15:10 < solios> word.
15:11 <@rjbs> and was anyone talking about entanglement in the sixties?
15:11 < mdxi> GENE RODDENBERRY
15:11 < solios> it's a retcon.
15:11 <@rjbs> Einstein famously derided entanglement as "spukhafte Fernwirkung" or "spooky action at a distance."
15:11 <@rjbs> ok, maybe
15:12 < mdxi> he'd be pulling somebody over for speeding in their Dodge Dart and instead of a ticket, he'd give them a 30 minute lecture on quantum entanglement
15:12 <@rjbs> "Just write me the fucking ticket!"
15:12 <@rjbs> "I have already both written and not written the ticket."
15:13 < mdxi> this was before he became a tv exec, obviously
15:13 <@rjbs> Einstein was a TV exec?
15:13 <@rjbs> Awesome.
15:14 < mdxi> after that he just talked about gin, how great majel barrett's tits were, and what an ass harlan ellison was
15:17 < mdxi> the hed should, of course, read "Breakthrough brings 'Ender's Game' ansible a step closer", but only *really* horrible nerds know what Ender's Game was, and once it is mentioned they are bound by code of honor to have 17 hour internet deathmatches about how far into the series one should read and whether Card's open Mormonism negates all his work

12:41 <@ejp> solios: wow. you said the EXACT SAME THING last time that url was pasted.
12:41 <@ejp> that's impressive.
12:42 < solios> I did?
12:42 <@ejp> yup
12:42 <@bda> At least he's consistant.
12:42 < solios> uh.
12:42 < solios> when did that happen?
12:42 <@ejp> 6 months ago maybe.

13:43 <@rjbs> If only the world was more like UNIX.
13:44 <@ejp> threaded?
13:44 < y0shi> we'd all be drinking from pipes shoved in our mouths
13:45 < y0shi> and you can guess at the other end
13:45 <@rjbs> Parents wouldn't die until all their children died.
13:45 <@ejp> 'mouths' is being damn hopeful.
13:45 <@rjbs> So you'd just need to keep them alive long enough to reproduce.
13:45 <@rjbs> and hope that they wouldn't detach
13:52 < mdxi> if the world were like unix, then parents wouldn't die until all their children died...as long as things worked perfectly.
13:52 < mdxi> but if something went wrong, and your parent died, you'd die too

13:53 < solios> good point.

10:35 <@rjbs> yeah, looking foward to seeing Face of Boe again

11:40 <@ejp> more of a "pffffffffft"?

23:48 <@solios> a fucking nightmare.

13:38 <@mzweng> </random>
13:42 <@solios> depends on if the tree makes its saving throw
13:42 <@solios> obviously big trees are higher level and have a better save vs. cold.
13:43 <@mzweng> best. answer. ever.

10:19 <@bda> wtf is MegaTokyo doing?
10:19 < solios> sucking cock?
10:19 <@bda> Maybe.
10:19 < solios> it's been sucking cock for the last four years.
10:19 <@bda> Bunch of pervy otaku buying sex robots. One of them caps a guy that touches her wings.
10:19 < solios> how it could do anything else is beyond me.
10:20 <@bda> It's like... I'm used to random weird stupid shit, but... wtf?
10:20 < solios> maybe if I crossed Love Hina with my computers I'd be all kinds of internet famous too.
10:21 <@bda> Probably.
10:21 * solios silently thanks gid that those parts of his heart/mind are made out of steel girders and acid, as opposed to fluffy gay.
10:21 <@bda> I don't think homosexuality has a lot to do with it.
10:21 <@bda> Like, not actual buggery.
10:22 < solios> it's a different kind of gay.

21:05 <@bda> solios: That was a good ep.
21:05 <@bda> Finally.
21:05 <@bda> Not just good because the previous ones were blah, but actually good.
21:06 < solios> yes.
21:06 < solios> I also like the previous ep.
21:07 <@bda> Took it about 30m to ramp up.
21:07 < solios> yeah
21:07 < solios> I think of it as shedding the suck of early midseason.

Yes, I know Starbuck was in the episode. But it was brief and more of a S1/S2 Thrace as opposed to the Sucking The Show Down The Tubes bs of early-mid season 3. Boy am I glad that's over with.

11:42 <@john> I always sort of thought of wikipedia as a modern version of that

12:26 < kReV> [Yahoo news article about California and Compact Fluorescent bulbs]
12:26 < kReV> Lighting changes...
12:28 <@solios> CF lights are annoying.
12:28 <@solios> I tried them.
12:28 <@solios> the box said they'd last five years.
12:28 <@solios> first power surge in the house? killed ALL of them. dead.*
12:28 <@solios> and it's not like you can stick a ups on the ceiling lights.
12:29 < kReV> And generally they don't fit that well into old lamps.
12:29 < kReV> You can *make* them fit...but...gah.
12:29 <@solios> yes
12:30 <@solios> my issue is the price compared to the actual longevity vs. advertised longevity.
12:30 * solios uses generic 70 watt bulbs, iirc.
12:30 <@solios> and they last forfuckingever.
12:30 < kReV> I do too.
12:30 <@_Lasar> And cost nothing.
12:30 < kReV> Dad works in a lightbulb plant...so mine actually *do* cost nothing.
12:30 <@_Lasar> haha
12:31 < kReV> He comes home with a big box full of unpackaged bulbs.
12:31 < kReV> They last FOREVER.
12:36 < kReV> I wonder what kind of cutbacks this legislator is getting from Philips.
12:36 <@solios> shitloads, would be my guess.
12:40 < kReV> This article goes on and on about how much energy they save and how much less wattage it takes...but it doesn't mention what happens with power surges and spikes.
12:40 < kReV> Which, if I remember correctly, Pittsburgh got those a LOT.
12:40 <@solios> probably because every single test case was done in a controlled environment.
12:40 <@solios> boy fucking howdy.
12:40 <@solios> you should see work in the summer. The UPSses buzz and chirp several times a day.

* I'm exaggerating, but only slightly. Four CF bulbs lasted less than four months. The normal (1/8th the price) incandescent bulbs last over a year.

12:52 < solios> I've looked. It's horrifying.
12:52 <@ejp> ha

12:04 < solios> the imdb synopsis of Children Of Men reminds me a lot of Cyborg.
12:04 <@bda> ...
12:05 < solios> world sux + guy guarding girl with precious cargo from point a to point b == see?
12:05 < rjbs> er. what?
12:05 <@bda> It's good that you can break it down like that, and somehow manage to include Jean Claude. What would we do without you.
12:05 < solios> fewer headaches, for one.
12:05 <@bda> Hmmm.
12:05 < solios> I'm hoping it's nothing at all like cyborg.
12:06 < solios> because that would be awesome.

That synopsis was written on December 16th, when I couldn't update DCR. Since then I've seen the movie and can happily report that it's nothing like Cyborg. Nothing at all. In fact, the only thing that sucks about it is the presence of Oasis on the soundtrack. It's a British film, and that country is cursed with an inexplicable hardon for that band, so it's excusable. Barely.

Despite the Oasis stain, Children Of Men is still pretty damned good. Like one of my many friends-named-Jason said, it's very Philip K. Dick in feel; possibly moreso than many of the actual PKD works that have been mangled onto the screen in recent years.

13:59 < solios> man I fucking hate the basestar brain.
14:00 <@bda> Yup.
14:00 < solios> I mean, it works. But for fuck's sake.
14:00 < solios> after the mess of glop that pours out of the raiders, I was expecting, yanno.

14:00 <@bda> IS THIS NOW?
14:00 < esch> That's uh, something else, bda.
14:00 <@bda> It's another crazy bitch in a tub, Ryan.

23:10 < solios> I think if anything, Macross was a commentary on just how fucking repllant pop music really is.
23:10 < solios> I choose to think of it that way because the only thing I FUCKING HATE OMFG* about macross is that little bitch and her mouth, when she opens it.
23:10 < solios> because pain comes out.
23:11 < solios> vgcats++
23:11 <@bda> No, it was culture that was the actual problem. jpop was supposed to be the epitome of culture, which the giant alien dudes couldn't take.
23:11 <@bda> Or whatever.
23:11 <@bda> Fucking stupid.
23:11 < solios> yeah.
23:12 < solios> so it's like black comedy that way, imo.

12:42 <@ejp> "Russian and American scientists yesterday announced they'd "discovered" a new superheavy element - 118, aka ununoctium."
12:42 <@ejp> that's just *goofy*
12:43 <@rjbs> discovered it between their toes
12:43 < mdxi> (re)discovered it, after faking it the first time around (oops)
12:43 < mdxi> but what's the goofy part?
12:47 < solios> the quotes.
12:49 < mdxi> when i was in school, i used to think "surely, when they get around to 118 it'll be STABLE because it's in the NOBLE GASSES column"
12:49 < mdxi> so, you know, ultradense armor and all that. YAY GUNDANIUM.
12:49 < mdxi> but not so much, as it turns out
12:52 < mdxi> in reality, it appears that Uuo decays into Uuh and a He atom in 1.29 milliseconds
12:52 < mdxi> which then decays into Uuq and a He in 14.4 milliseconds
12:53 < mdxi> which then decays into Uub and a He after a relative eternity of 230 milliseconds
12:53 < mdxi> then the Uub spontaneously fissions

12:26 -!- mdxi changed the topic of #$ to: "Also, most men find female genitalia a bit scary and just don't look all that closely." | She's stalking you. With her boobs.
12:27 <@ejp> o_O
12:29 <@bda> It is scary.
12:29 <@bda> Vagines, I mean.
12:29 <@bda> er, vaginas.
12:29 <@bda> I mean, it's a squishy, hollow meat tube.
12:37 < mdxi> that's like the inverse of an argument i once had with a female friend, who couldn't understand why guys liked boobs. "THEY'RE JUST SKINBAGS," she yelled, to which I could only reply in kind, "NO THEY'RE NOT YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND"
12:43 <@bda> I'm not saying I don't like vaginas.
12:43 <@bda> They're just kinda scary.
12:43 <@bda> Like a rickety old rollercoaster.
12:44 <@bda> You know the ride is gonna be awesome because there's the added anxiety of not knowing if it's going to collapse and kill you.
12:45 < mdxi> LOCAL MAN, 27, KILLED IN VAGINA COLLAPSE
12:45 <@bda> The dunge^H^H^H^H^Hvagina collapses. You die.

12:55 <@ejp> guys like boobs because that's how evolution^WGod^Wa small duck made us
12:55 < y0shi> or course i'd expect there's more to worry about sticking it in a place that wasn't explicity prepared for it
12:55 <@ejp> I agree with bda though, it would suck if they were filled with soggy donuts.

21:15 <@dragorn> so I saw UV
21:15 <@dragorn> It's not good
21:15 <@dragorn> but I can't bring myself to hate it
21:16 <@ecronin> rotten tomatoes is pretty harsh on it
21:16 <@dragorn> yeah
21:16 <@dragorn> it's not good, at all, but i can't fully hate it
21:16 <@dragorn> the art style was really cool I thought
21:16 <@dragorn> similar in many ways to equilibrium, obviously
21:51 <@bda> Heh.
21:51 <@solios> it looks like bleach-fried testicles marinated in tits.
21:51 <@solios> pass.
21:52 <@ecronin> can you fry in something non-oil based?
21:52 <@bda> You have such a way with language.
21:52 <@bda> Tits can be oily.
21:52 <@ecronin> did he say tit-fried?
21:53 <@solios> no. tit-marinated.
21:53 <@bda> Oh, sorry.
21:53 <@bda> I'm easily confused by ball-frying and tit-frying, apparently.
21:53 <@bda> Explains a fair amount.

12:47 <@_Lasar> Heh.
12:47 <@_Lasar> UV?
12:47 <@solios> see title.
12:47 <@_Lasar> Oh.
12:47 <@solios> the tit-tastic plotless pile of sfx.
12:48 <@_Lasar> Oh tha... which one?
12:48 <@solios> :x
12:48 <@_Lasar> I remember that I watched the trailer that I don't remmeber.
12:49 <@solios> same here.
12:49 <@solios> I was like LOOK MATRIX and eh.
12:49 * _Lasar watches again
12:51 <@_Lasar> Not to mention that the trailer actually sports MUSIC FROM THE MATRIX
12:52 <@_Lasar> I mena. THE music.
12:52 <@_Lasar> mena--
12:52 <@solios> yeah, see?
12:53 <@xeno> i saw UV when it was called Resident Underworld Apocalypse II: The Element

16:16 <@bda> Freakin' solios. Just called to let me know that while waiting at the bus stop a cop car drove by...which is the exact same model car he's been rendering for ATC. "Now I know how to detail the bumpers!"
16:18 <@maarken> solios: freak
16:18 <@maarken> it's good thing, I think he fucked up the two front pusher things
16:22 <@waltman> i know there's special cop suspension, but i didn't know there were special cop bumpers
16:22 <@ecronin> now he knows how to detail the bumpers? he saw a car with a wangbumper?
16:23 <@bda> Give it time.
16:23 <@bda> When he started doing 3D work, I was really afraid.
16:23 <@bda> But so far I haven't seen anything .. y'know.
16:23 * bda waves a hand.
16:23 <@bda> Cow-related.
16:24 <@maarken> ha
16:25 <@maarken> it's mostly because he sucks at 3D. the udders would never come out right.

13:56 <@solios> [ The Scotsman thing on "warp drive" ]
13:59 <@xeno> Switching off the magnetic field would result in the engine reappearing in our current dimension.
13:59 <@xeno> you know what would be great?
13:59 <@xeno> "Engage."
13:59 <@xeno> * engine disappears
13:59 <@xeno> "Uh, sir?"
14:00 <@xeno> it was based on a highly controversial theory that would require a significant change in the current understanding of the laws of physics.
14:00 <@xeno> so you need someone who understands them differently
14:01 <@xeno> invent the science you need, then spend 20 years or so raising a kid to grow up believing it
14:01 <@xeno> educate him in the proper fields
14:01 <@xeno> then set him loose designing the engine and have him conduct the test run
14:01 <@_Lasar> Then clean up and find another kid.
14:02 <@xeno> nuh.
14:02 <@xeno> well, maybe a herd of kids
14:02 <@xeno> if anyone is there that thinks/knows it won't work, it won't.
14:02 <@xeno> everyone on the project must have no doubts about the science

19:15 * y0shi was just looking at the back of his watch. apparently the "crystal" is really crystal. one big chunk of sapphire
19:15 <@ejp> yup
19:15 <@ejp> good watches are
19:15 < solios> neat.
19:17 < mdxi> salt is a real crystal. how come nobody uses that?
19:17 <@ejp> not hard enough
19:17 <@ejp> well, except for those awesome lamps
19:17 < solios> ?
19:18 < y0shi> and the fact that it's not clear
19:18 <@ejp> http://www.buyamag.com/salt_crystal_lamp.php
19:18 < mdxi> pretty sure all salt (where "salt" == "common table salt" and not "a salt") is the same hard
19:18 < mdxi> but it wasn't exactly a serious question
19:18 <@ejp> lots of bullshit(IMO) "health" stuff, but they're PURDEE
19:18 < mdxi> hah
19:18 < mdxi> wtf
19:19 < solios> PURDEE++

19:20 < mdxi> yeah but...
19:20 < solios> yup.
19:20 < solios> PURDEE++
19:20 < mdxi> that's star trek grade bullshit
19:20 < solios> yeah
19:20 < solios> fagbot: ions?
19:20 < fagbot> solios: no idea
19:20 < mdxi> As the salt warms up it will attenuate your shield harmonics to eliminate harmful bacteria

19:24 < y0shi> actually, they stick to jews.
19:24 < y0shi> THEY HELP FIGHT STAN
19:25 < y0shi> oh wait. kyle's the jew
19:25 < y0shi> dammit

00:41 < mdxi> so ATOM finally has an RFC, which is good, because now i can parse it
00:42 < mdxi> it does *not* appear to have a provision for TTL anywhere in said RFC
00:42 < mdxi> which is really odd
00:42 < solios> what's TTL?
00:42 < solios> more importantly, is there any reason for ATC to have an Atom feed?
00:43 < mdxi> no. ATOM is another XML document type that does the same thing as RSS but isn't RSS
00:43 < mdxi> as far as i can tell, it exists to annoy me
00:44 < mdxi> and so bloggers can have a emacs/vi war all their own
00:44 < solios> ugh. I thought they had more than enough to fap about.
00:44 < mdxi> TTL is time-to-live, a concept found all over network-related places
00:44 < mdxi> it tell you how long a certain thing should be considered viable
00:44 < mdxi> in teh case of a news feed, how long until you should poll it again
00:45 < mdxi> olive assumes 3600 seconds if it can't find one, but it's weird that the whole spec should ignore it
00:48 < solios> huh.
00:48 < solios> so...
00:48 < solios> TTL would then be decided on the application end?
00:50 < mdxi> it is so far as i can see, in this case

09:56 < mdxi> holy cocks
09:56 < mdxi> everytime i think i've seen the worst, the old codebase here vomits up a new horror
09:56 < mdxi> the databases here are in -14th normal form
09:57 <@ejp> ha
09:58 < mdxi> we provide movie data to our stations. we get this data from a Tribune media feed. it is processed nightly.
09:58 < mdxi> it is processed by *12* cron scripts which run over a span of seven hours
09:58 <@ejp> o_O
09:58 < mdxi> the movies table has a field for "rating", which doesn't have the rating in it
09:58 < mdxi> tha rating is in the showtimes table
09:58 < mdxi> along with the rating description
09:59 < mdxi> so, we store this string: Parents Strongly Cautioned
09:59 < mdxi> 126,000 times
09:59 <@ejp> XD
09:59 < mdxi> Parental Guidance Suggested a paltry 65,000 times

08:30 <@solios> fucking goddamned HATE this time of year.
08:31 <@solios> it's like society's immune system is working overtime to flush me out of it.
08:31 <@ejp> o_O
08:32 <@ejp> you're not really comfortable in the world, are you?
08:32 <@solios> generally speaking, no.
08:33 <@solios> every girl in town is being soul-sucked by some fucking male leech-thing, I feel like a prisoner in my own fucking house, I'm more exhausted as a result of my "vacation" than I was before it, I've hated work for months, I have no money, no credit, no decent home equipment, etc, etc.
08:34 <@solios> but I'm also in DIRE NEED of sleep that this fucking environment WILL NOT ALLOW ME, so my attitude is pretty skewed.
08:34 <@solios> :P
08:38 <@ejp> s'what you get for the college/drugs/fun thing earlier.
08:40 <@solios> that was fun in the same way sawing your dick off with a spoon is fun.
08:40 <@solios> everything I remember from thursday night makes me not want to.
08:40 <@solios> it's no wonder some girl wound up taking a two-story header.*
08:42 <@ejp> no, I mean Earlier.

13:04 < mdxi> o/` do your balls hang low / can you swing 'em to and fro / can you tie 'em in a knot / can you tie 'em in a bow / do you ever get the feeling when you hit 'em on the ceiling / that you'll never be a sailor if your balls hang low o/`

21:29 < arbo> So is Samuel Adams winter lager different from the rest of the year, or just a marketing ploy?
21:29 < arbo> Heh.

08:39 < solios_> :|
08:39 < mdxi> <me> well then, that bright thing over there that's NOT blinking must be venus, because it's too white to be mars
08:39 < mdxi> <k> mars has already set anyway

18:29 < mdxi> why would you *want* to convert a plain text file to a pdf? too much free drivespace?

14:36 * drusilla bitchslaps shawn for practice
14:37 <@ejp> no, you want to take a screenshot of their word doc, put that into word, then print it.
14:38 < drusilla> ejp: THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING
14:38 <@ejp> oh. oh gods.
14:38 < drusilla> yeah.
14:38 < drusilla> you see my pain
14:40 <@ejp> fire. lots and lots of fire.
14:41 < drusilla> i have fire
14:41 <@ejp> but do you have *enough* fire?
14:41 < solios> no.
14:42 < y0shi> with a little planning, she will
14:43 < drusilla> i set the teenyboppers on fire.
14:43 < drusilla> their hairspray keeps them lit
14:43 < drusilla> i throw them at everyone else.
14:43 < drusilla> they then catch fire.
14:43 < drusilla> admist the panic, the room becomes ablaze.

12:42 < mdxi> map is neat, but i try to avoid it for Real Work for clarity's sake
12:42 <@rjbs> I tend to use it in Real Work for clarity's sake. :)
12:43 <@rjbs> but I know it can be abused.
12:43 <@rjbs> I mean... look at that fucking monstrosity.
12:43 <@rjbs> but: my @children = map { $_->children } @fathers;
12:44 < mdxi> yes. simple maps which would otherwise be 3-line foreaches are good.
12:44 <@rjbs> or: my @events = sort by_date map { $_->history } (@clients, @servers);
12:44 <@rjbs> right.
12:44 < mdxi> i wasn't saying GOTO CONSIDERED HARMFUL or anything
12:44 <@rjbs> I know.
12:44 <@rjbs> I just wanted to get my defense of map on record. :)
12:47 <@ejp> MAY CONTAIN TRACE AMOUNTS OF LISP
12:47 <@rjbs> exactly.
12:47 < solios_> GOTO is the only thing I know how to use.
12:47 < solios_> and then I can only use it in a BASIC that has line numbers.
12:48 < solios_> RENUM--
12:48 <@rjbs> (MAPCDR 'your-face '(*my-nuts*))
12:48 < solios_> O_o
12:48 < calliope> :-/
12:50 < mdxi> the symbol my-nuts should not be global. we all have our own copies of that.
12:50 < mdxi> okay, most of us
12:50 <@rjbs> mdxi: +my-nuts+
12:50 <@rjbs> mdxi: because the question of whose they are varies from scope to scope!
12:51 < solios_> hm.
12:51 <@ejp> they're also read-only. for whatever that's worth.
12:52 <@rjbs> $HTMaiL = ...
12:52 < mdxi> i dunno. some people definitely have clearance to change the state of mine (within certain parameters)
12:53 < solios_> to read-write?
12:53 <@rjbs> (defgeneric twiddle (gonad))
12:53 <@ejp> mdxi: but that isn't a direct write. it's accessed via the $scrotum object.
12:53 <@ejp> unless you do things far kinkier than I want to know about.
12:55 < mdxi> funny, i was just thinking it was usually called from $peener, unless one was doing something particularly kinky
12:56 < solios_> all a subclass of libnads.
12:57 <@ejp> $peener shouldn't be.
12:57 <@rjbs> ejp: **nuts
12:57 < solios_> well, structurally, libnads is called by $peener...

23:13 <@solios_> woo. 214 and the only things left to do before I leave are (1) make bed (2) shower (3) take out the trash.
23:14 <@solios_> I GOT FOUR HOURS TO KILL.
23:14 < sqweak> drink more
23:14 <@solios_> oh hells no.
23:14 <@solios_> I got me The Stand, The Complete & Uncut Edition.
23:14 <@solios_> Captain Trips owns my balls.
23:14 < sqweak> i thought you said you only had 4 hours :D
23:15 <@solios_> yeah, well.
23:15 <@solios_> train ride BACK and all...
23:15 <@solios_> also.
23:15 <@solios_> check this shit out,.
23:15 <@solios_> my train reservation number is a 6 digit number.
23:15 <@solios_> that has FOUR CONSECUTIVE FOURS.
23:16 <@ralfiboy> i'll bet two are in the middle.
23:16 <@solios_> :x

13:33 < solios>
13:34 < y0shi> why would you want a hint of wang? that's like wanting really small boobs
13:34 < solios> nothing wrong with really small boobs.
13:34 <@ejp> solios: am I looking at a cutaway of a nuclear-powered vibrator or something?
13:35 < solios> single-cylinder engine.
13:35 < solios> 13:28 <@eniac> its an inline single cyl two cycle engine
13:35 < solios> 13:29 <@eniac> kooky italian engine designers
13:35 < y0shi> it's not inline
13:35 < mdxi> how can something be inline AND single-cylinder?
13:35 < solios> you'd know if you were STILL IN 215 :'(
13:35 < solios> mdxi: nfi
13:36 < y0shi> line is >= 2 points
13:36 < solios> dongs
13:37 < mdxi> i guess it's better to say "inline single" than "radial single" or "horizontally-opposed single"
13:37 < y0shi> mdxi: its inline, radial, V, flat, square, and parallel. ALL AT THE SAME TIME
13:37 < mdxi> it's *more* true
13:37 < solios> y0shi: O.o
13:37 < mdxi> The new Chevrolet Slant 1
13:37 < y0shi> i think it's just *less* false
13:38 < y0shi> true would be "singlge" (alternate "thumper")
13:38 < solios> thumper++
13:38 < y0shi> dodge magnum hemi 1
13:38 < solios> I should get one of those.
13:38 < solios> then I can ride a sandworm to work.
13:39 < mdxi> eat all the people you don't like
13:39 < mdxi> have reverend mothers drink them later on
13:40 < solios> see, Pitt is between work and home.

22:26 < solios> wow. Lynch + drunk = no-go.
22:26 <@bda> >_<
22:27 < solios> yeeeeeeah.
22:27 < solios> I THINK it might go like this:
22:27 < solios> lots of drugs : THAT'S RIGHT, MYOOSIK!
22:27 < solios> some drugs + yoga : Lynch
22:28 < solios> broken + analysis : Cronenberg.
22:28 < solios> personally, I feel - QUITE STRONGLY - that Davids Lynch and Cronenberg need to collaborate on something.
22:28 < solios> do some sort of VULCAN MIND MELD.
22:29 < solios> Ten bucks says you're Betty.
22:30 * mdxi checks
22:30 < mdxi> not betty
22:30 < solios> Well.
22:30 < solios> You just WON'T believe what that kangaroo did to this courtyard.

23:04 <@solios> I'm watching Sky Captain.
23:04 <@solios> so far it would appear I'm watching it only for those flappy robot things.
23:06 <@xeno> I liked it.
23:06 <@xeno> but i'm a sucker for art-nouveau-looking things
23:06 <@xeno> and i liked the almost-sepia tone
23:06 <@solios> heh.
23:06 <@xeno> and the soft filter
23:06 * xeno shrugs
23:06 <@solios> it sucks for lucas that I've been rating things in terms of What The Prequels Should Have Been.
23:06 <@solios> this being one of those things.
23:06 <@xeno> and big stompin robots and impossible aerobatics don't hurt either
23:06 <@solios> dude.
23:07 <@solios> flappy robot planes.
23:07 <@solios> :D
23:07 <@xeno> and Angelina Jolie
23:07 <@xeno> IN AN EYEPATCH
23:07 <@solios> shrug.
23:07 <@xeno> *swoons*
23:07 <@xeno> yes, well, it has Jude Law in it, just for you.
23:07 <@xeno> ...
23:07 <@xeno> ...
23:07 <@solios> she looks too much like John Voight.*
23:07 <@xeno> you were just talking about asjdl';fkasdf
23:07 <@xeno> STOP THAT
23:07 <@solios> and Jude Law is hot. :P
23:07 <@xeno> you were just talking about Jude Lawajsdl';fkasdfasdf
23:07 <@xeno> ...
23:07 <@solios> k?
23:07 <@fagbot> k!
23:07 <@solios> k.
23:07 * xeno throws a shield around _Lasar**
23:07 <@xeno> RUN BOY, RUN!
23:08 <@solios> hah.
23:08 <@solios> (he IS, you know...)
23:08 <@solios> secretly.
23:10 <@xeno> Dan, I'm begining to think you've got The Gay.
23:10 <@xeno> ...
23:11 <@xeno> Gaytorade(tm) - It It In You?
23:11 * xeno dies laughing

* The parts that don't look like her dad look a lot like an ex. Having seen those parts in 3d with smell-o-vision, seeing them otherwise just doesn't "do it" for me.

** See previous. Secretly.

13:13 <@solios> (Jude Law)++
13:14 <@solios> fagbot: god?
13:14 <@_Lasar> Thanks.*

13:14 <@solios> fagbot: god is also |<reply>GOD, THE MECHANIC!
13:14 <@fagbot> okay, solios.
13:14 <@solios> _Lasar: :D
13:15 * solios is watching eXistenZ.
13:15 <@_Lasar> let me know how much you think it sucks.
13:15 <@solios> a two-headed dragon the size of a kitten is crawling over a gas pump.
13:16 <@solios> dude, Doctor Who, Paul Smecker, Ash from Aliens and everyone else cool is in it.
13:16 <@solios> also, it's Cronenberg.
13:16 <@_Lasar> I still thought it sucked.
13:16 <@_Lasar> Pretty hard :/
13:16 <@_Lasar> At least the end was utter shit.
13:16 <@solios> heh.
13:16 <@_Lasar> Up to that it was kind of weird, but promising.
13:16 <@_Lasar> Well, let me know.
13:16 <@solios> k.
13:17 <@_Lasar> Been a long time.
13:18 <@solios> hah.

14:05 <@solios> oh, geeeeeeeeeross.
14:15 <@solios> :o
14:15 <@solios> O_o
14:22 <@solios> _Lasar: I thought the ending was fine.
14:23 <@_Lasar> shrug.
14:23 <@_Lasar> I thought it sucked because it was a non-ending or so. But maybe I have to rewatch it.
14:23 <@solios> heh.
14:23 <@solios> well, it is a bit of a non-ending, yes.
14:23 <@solios> but Jude Law rocks.
14:26 <@solios> er.
14:26 <@solios> Code 46 was 1:33:13
14:26 <@_Lasar> ?
14:26 <@solios> eXistenZ was 1:33:03
14:26 <@solios> ...
14:26 <@_Lasar> I haven't watched that to the end.
14:26 <@_Lasar> haha

* Lasar is secretly Jude Law. Don't tell anyone, it's a secret.

17:33 * bda watches the Guide movie.
17:38 <@bda> So far it sucks.
17:38 < calliope> It won't get better.

17:45 < calliope> Hope you have a barf bag on hand.
17:45 <@bda> Why isn't Trillian British?

17:47 < calliope> o/~ So long and thanks for all the fish...o/~
17:56 <@ejp> Mmm, fish
18:15 <@bda> ugh.
18:17 < solios_> yeah
18:17 < solios_> I overheard the scene before the catalogue and saw the catalogue bit.
18:17 < solios_> fucking lame.
18:18 <@bda> DEEP THOUGHT SUCKS
18:19 <@bda> THE PHILOSPHERS SUCK
18:19 < solios_> just you wait.

13:33 < vai> WHAT NEXT WORLD?!
13:33 < mdxi> poop
13:34 < solios> poop++
13:34 < vai> s'been done.
13:34 < solios> yes. :|
13:35 < mdxi> several billion times today, no doubt
13:35 * solios wonders how many tons of poop are generated in a 24-hour period.
13:37 < vai> cubic assloads!
13:37 < solios> those are the best kind.
13:39 < vai> the edges hurt :|
13:39 < solios> lube, sonny. lube.
13:40 < vai> fagbot: doot cubic log.
14:10 < y0shi> the metro atlanta area (pop 3.5-4 mil) creates in the neighborhood of 500 million gallons of wastewater a day. ~1/10th of 1% is "solid waste", i.e. poop
14:11 < shil> 1 gallon of water weighs about 8 lbs... although "solid waste" may end up being varying weights, that would probably be a good estimate.
14:12 < y0shi> 8.54lbs/gal
14:12 < shil> :P
14:12 < y0shi> that's 500000 gals of shit /day
14:13 < y0shi> 3.5 million people
14:13 < solios> O_o
14:13 < shil> 4,270,000 lbs of shit
14:14 < shil> 2135 tons
14:14 < y0shi> 6 billion people == 857142000 gallons == 7319992680lbs of shit
14:15 < shil> per day\
14:15 < y0shi> 3659996 tons
14:16 < y0shi> 3.7 million tons of poop

17:39 <@javaman> solios
17:39 <@javaman> did you see my msg about the tshirts?
17:39 <@javaman> 13"x13" for the back
17:40 <@javaman> she said 13" x 7" for the front, but i forget which side is the short side.

13:14 <@bda> Yeah, friends != fuckbuddies.
13:14 < calliope> UH
13:14 <@bda> ?
13:14 * calliope looks around with shifty eyes
13:14 * solios_ tries to remember the last time he had sex
13:14 <@bda> er.
13:14 <@bda> wtf
13:14 < drusilla> are we making a righteous indignation line?
13:14 < solios_> to the left
13:14 <@bda> "!=" means "does not equal" :P
13:14 < mdxi> solios_: it was about 2 weeks ago, wasn't it?
13:15 < calliope> heh
13:15 < solios_> no, there was no penetration during the threesome.
13:15 <@bda> It worries me that Shawn remembers when you had sex last, Dan.
13:15 <@bda> ;lsdjfas;l
13:15 <@bda> ;alsdfkj
13:15 < mdxi> or did i misinterpret some of your drunken scrollback?
13:15 <@bda> jsdaf;
13:15 < mdxi> ahh
13:15 < calliope> hahahahah
13:15 * drusilla gives bda soothing poison.
13:15 < solios_> I think I just killed bda.
13:15 < mdxi> well, see, now we come to defining "having sex"
13:15 < drusilla> ooh, ooh!@
13:15 <@bda> The peepee goes in the hoohoo.
13:15 < drusilla> i have a good definition
13:15 <@bda> Or the hawhaw.
13:15 < solios_> bda++
13:15 < drusilla> orgasm induced by a partner
13:15 <@bda> Or the nyucknyuck.
13:15 <@bda> zing.
13:15 < solios_> preferably the hoohoo.
13:15 < mdxi> bda: patriachal swine :D
13:16 <@bda> Dru wins.
13:16 < solios_> or the herhoo.
13:16 < solios_> as opposed to the hehoo.
13:16 < drusilla> mine covers everything.
13:16 < solios_> no.
13:16 * bda coughs.
13:16 < drusilla> phone-sex, barnyard, whatever.
13:16 < solios_> handjobs aren't sex. :P
13:16 < drusilla> if you do them right, they are.

10:55 <@rjbs> bda: I have rulebooks for you to peruse.
10:55 < solios> THIRD EDITION?!
10:55 <@rjbs> bda: I'll put them on... where?
10:55 <@rjbs> solios: 3.5 is current DND, but these will be d20 Modern, not DND
10:55 < solios> o_o
10:56 < vai> I froze at 2nd edition happily.
10:56 < vai> s'all just to get the monkeys to buy 7000 more books.
10:57 <@rjbs> Not really, no.
10:57 <@bda> rjbs: gibson?
10:57 <@rjbs> bda: ok
10:58 <@rjbs> the d20 rules are much better than 2nd ed.
10:58 < vai> that I know. But at R200/300 a book ...
10:58 < vai> oh. wait. You probably live in a country that doesn't have a LUXURY TAX on books.
10:59 < solios> er.
10:59 < solios> luxury. tax.
10:59 < solios> on BOOKS?!
10:59 <@rjbs> solios: many countries do that.
10:59 < solios> !!
10:59 < vai> yes. purchase and luxury import tax.
10:59 < solios> import I can understand.
10:59 < vai> even textbooks.
11:00 < vai> the tax is 75% of what I'm paying for at the counter.
11:00 < vai> how much is a crapp paperback there?
11:00 < solios> a _crap_ paperback?
11:00 < solios> like four bucks.
11:01 < solios> maybe eight.
11:01 < vai> kay about $17/18 if I do the math.
11:01 < solios> ...
11:01 < solios> 20$ for something with fabio on the cover.
11:01 < solios> awesome.
11:01 < vai> yea.
11:02 < solios> here's hoping that .za doesn't have the flabby women slugging on couches sucking down romance novels like cheap crack wondering why their husbands stopped paying attention to them in the 80s problem.
11:02 < solios> because it would be damned expensive.
11:02 < vai> no. reading is an arcane art. well, reading for pleasure anyway.
11:02 < solios> -_-
11:03 < esch> that's just perverse.

[16:51] > PORKTEST
[16:51] <rjbs> oink
[16:52] > MOO
[16:52] <rjbs> no, that's a cow
[16:52] <rjbs> that would be BEEFTEST
[16:53] > point.

08:02 <@ejp> I wonder if we're ever going to be able to buy 4/6/8way motherboards.
08:03 < solios> no.
08:03 < solios> quad for servers, sure.
08:04 < solios> imo we'll see dual dual-core boards first.
08:04 <@ejp> we already have those
08:05 < solios> SEE?
08:05 < solios> we'll see them first!
08:05 <@ejp> o_o
08:05 <@ejp> you're a fucking prophet, you know that?

15:21 < vai> solios: JEDI SHEETS?
15:22 < solios> also Empire.
15:23 * solios > *
15:23 < solios> fagbot: doot for having sex on Ford, Fisher, Hutt
15:23 < fagbot> HMMMMMM now let me THINK -- a FOUR-LETTER WORD meaning "GAYNESS"
15:24 <@ejp> indeed
15:25 < vai> fagbot: botsnack :)
15:25 < fagbot> :)
15:33 < vai> I have cordorouy sheets :P
15:33 < mdxi> i can't even imagine that
15:34 < vai> they're for winter.
15:34 < solios> hippy.
15:35 <@ejp> I have flannel sheets.
15:35 <@ejp> they're AWESOME
15:36 < mdxi> i have flannel sheets
15:36 < mdxi> and cotton jersey sheets
15:36 < mdxi> and high and medium thread-count woven sheets
15:36 < mdxi> but NOT cordouroy
15:36 < vai> cordorouy++
15:37 < mdxi> why can none of us spell that word?
15:37 < mdxi> CORDUROY
15:37 < vai> cor-duh-roy.
15:38 < mdxi> kohrdeur'oigh

08:26 <@bda> Televison science fiction + computers = ignored.
08:27 < solios> BSG hasn't done anything overly stupid with 'em yet.
08:27 < solios> which puts the show light years above just about everything else ever.
08:27 <@ejp> B5 ignored them completely
08:28 <@bda> nod.
08:28 <@bda> They just had little crystals.
08:28 < solios> the more sci-fi I watch, the more I class trek as fantasy.
08:29 <@rjbs> TNG computers were mostly reasonable.
08:29 <@ejp> someone still needs to explain why the 12 colonies have a fear of 90degree corners.
08:29 < solios> and yeah, b5 did a good job of ignoring all the stuff that made for gayness.
08:29 <@rjbs> They just didn't have a good constant level of capability, but that wasn't a huge deal.
08:29 < solios> rjbs: trektech is annoying in other ways, though.
08:30 <@ejp> note to self: when building a space ship, keep all voltage higher than 12v AT LEAST 50' from all personnel.
08:30 <@rjbs> I guess.
08:30 <@bda> Heh.
08:30 <@rjbs> ejp: yeah, like everything ever implies that your cell phone can be virused to electrocute you
08:31 <@rjbs> solios: I think Trek culture is more incomprehensible than Trek tech.
08:31 < solios> yeah.
08:31 < solios> wearing carpet samples and not having money? puh-leeze.
08:32 <@rjbs> well, there are replicators, but some things can't be replicated
08:32 <@rjbs> but not generally interesting things
08:32 <@rjbs> just, like, money
08:32 <@ejp> LIKE LOVE
08:32 < solios> hah!
08:32 <@rjbs> well, and Spice
08:32 < solios> ejp++
08:32 <@rjbs> by which I mean dilithium
08:32 < solios> and anything useful.
08:32 < solios> like guns, etc.
08:32 <@ejp> guns could.
08:32 < solios> also, the lack of bathrooms on the enterprise D is extremely disconcerting.
08:33 <@rjbs> nanites
08:33 < solios> my dad and I rationalized it as efficiency of replimat foodstuffs.
08:33 <@ejp> and no anuses.
08:33 <@rjbs> never discussed is the severe gassiness of all future humans
08:33 <@ejp> go go genetic engineering
08:33 <@rjbs> because their waste is transformed into farts by nanites
08:33 < solios> hm.
08:34 <@ejp> man. you think there are problems with global warming now.
08:34 < solios> the farts could be used to heat the enterprise.
08:35 <@ejp> in space, no one can hear you fart.
08:35 < solios> thank gid.
08:36 <@rjbs> s/could be/are/
08:36 <@rjbs> it's also why they can bring themselves to eat crappy replicated food or Klingon cuisine
08:36 <@rjbs> they can barely taste it over the flatulence
08:36 < solios> this would explain why methane breathers don't need separate atmo compartments.
08:37 <@bda> You guys are such nerds.

18:45 <@rjbs> bda: doing exciting things tomorrow?
18:45 <@bda> I sure hope not.
18:45 <@bda> Why?
18:45 * rjbs consults iCal again.
18:46 <@rjbs> because it's your birthday
18:46 <@bda> Oh.
18:46 <@bda> Right.
18:46 <@bda> No, nothing planned.

20:14 <@ejp> I wonder if this is related to my uncanny understanding of how maglites work that I found the other week.
20:14 <@solios> you found the other week?
20:14 <@xeno_beer> i want one.
20:14 <@solios> where did you leave it?
20:14 * xeno_beer stares at ejp
20:14 <@xeno_beer> GIVE IT BACK IT'S MINE
20:15 <@ejp> xeno_beer: what? I had nothing to do with a gnomechair
20:15 <@xeno_beer> no, the week
20:15 <@xeno_beer> i want it.
20:15 <@ejp> oh, no.
20:15 <@ejp> I found the knowledge.
20:15 <@xeno_beer> i am missing several.
20:15 <@solios> it's the beer.
20:15 <@xeno_beer> yeah, well, i'm missing that too

18:49 <solios> it's going to rock.
18:50 <xeno_beer> or suck.
18:50 <solios> that too.
18:50 <xeno_beer> and even then, it'll rock Past Tense.
18:50 <solios> yup.
18:50 <solios> wait.
18:50 <solios> no.
18:50 <solios> if it rocks it rocks.
18:50 <solios> if it sucks it's Awesome.
18:50 <xeno_beer> poit.
18:50 <xeno_beer> especially After.

11:30 < esch> solios: The Harry Potter iPod is the worst thing that's ever happened.
11:30 < solios> I thought Chacarron was?
11:33 < esch> Chacarron is the musical holocaust.
11:36 < mdxi> "[Steve Jobs] then trotted out Madonna via iChat from London (where's she's recovering from her recent birthday fall off a horse)."
11:38 < solios> o_o
11:39 < esch> Nice choice of words. (trotted)
11:41 < mdxi> that freakin harry potter ipod is $550
11:41 < mdxi> $250 of which is the audiobooks (available separately)
11:41 * ejp hugs his 40g
11:42 < esch> give me $250 and I'll read the fuckers to you.
11:42 < ejp> yeah, but you'd replace "wand" with "penis".
11:42 < esch> That's an extra $50.
11:42 < esch> pervert.

12:07 <@john> can anyone recommend good rackmount power distribution gear other than APC ?
12:08 < solios> Belkin.
12:08 < solios> dunno about racking.
12:08 < ejp> blackbox stuff is always good
12:08 < solios> our idea of a "rack" at work is a fucking cart with a few towers thrown onto it.
12:08 < ejp> my "rack" is a metal/wood shelf system I got from costco. :)
12:08 <@john> "uh.. yeah, the rack... it rolled away"
12:09 < solios> I've got pix.
12:09 < solios> sec.
12:13 < solios>

12:14 < ejp> oh, those.
12:14 * ejp has 2
12:14 < ejp> but I wisely left the wheels in a bag. :)

21:09 < solios> I HAVE BENEDRYL
21:09 * solios chomps
21:10 < y0shi> i have rum
21:11 < solios> lucky you.
21:11 < y0shi> yep. rum & a comfy chair
21:11 < solios> :o
21:12 < solios> benedryl, water, doctor who and a semicomfychair.
21:12 < y0shi> my chairs fucking rock
21:12 < y0shi> ask mdxi
21:12 < solios> heh.
21:12 < solios> I only have the one.
21:12 * y0shi has 2 custom leather chairs + 1 ottoman
21:13 < solios> I want.... wtf are they called...
21:13 < y0shi> if i wasn't drunk and lazy, i'd take pics
21:13 < solios> a papasan.
21:13 < solios> they fucking own.
21:14 < y0shi> i always feel like im gonna break something getting in or out
21:14 < y0shi> + these have a lifetime warranty
21:15 < solios> rock.
21:15 < solios> my command chair was 80$ at walmart.
21:15 < solios> and it sits like it.
21:15 < y0shi> when the cushion wears out, they restuff it for free.
21:15 < y0shi> forever
21:15 < solios> o_O
21:15 < solios> you must've paid a pretty penny for 'em.
21:15 < y0shi> if it breaks, they come to your house and fix it
21:16 < solios> O_o
21:16 < y0shi> yeah. not cheap, but OMG worth every penny
21:16 < solios> :D
21:16 < y0shi> picked the style and the leather, and they build it
21:17 < solios> wow.
21:17 < y0shi> the warranty even covers "bodily fluids"
21:17 < solios> O_o
21:18 < y0shi> and even though they weren't cheap, they weren't much more than a leather chair at a normal furniture store
21:19 < solios> do they make love to your ass?
21:20 < y0shi> only if you aren't wearing pants... which i'm not
21:20 < solios> do they have a website?
21:21 < y0shi> http://www.leathercreations.net/

13:27 <@bda> Oh, I sort of did cfp.
13:28 < solios> ?
13:28 < solios> cfp?
13:28 <@bda> I decided to go with an "example list of possible topics" kind of thing.
13:28 <@bda> Call for papers.
13:28 < solios> ah.
13:29 <@bda> Example categories: Harrowing Stories of Social Engineering; Adventures on the High Information Seas; Bodice-ripping Android Romances; Macabre Tales of Software Sacrifice in the Deep Amazon.com; Noble Savages of the Noo-Sphere and a Plague of ePoker Spam.
13:29 <@bda> Example titles: 5h3rl0ck h0lm3z & the Founding of the Backdoor Skillz.
13:29 < solios> THIS ONE TIME AT BUFFER OVERFLOW CAMP
13:29 <@bda> A Tale of Tau Circuity.
13:30 <@bda> For Whom the Visual Bell Tolls.
13:30 < solios> you think about this shit too much.
13:30 < solios> I blame your time with Andy.
13:30 <@bda> The Big sleep()
13:30 <@bda> haha.
13:30 <@bda> :)
13:30 < solios> <3
13:30 <@bda> I bet no one would get "the Founding of the Backdoor Skills".
13:30 < solios> sounds like a porn.
13:30 < solios> hound of the baskervilles?
13:30 < solios> (sp)
13:30 <@bda> [ zing. ]
13:30 <@bda> :D
13:31 < solios> bonus.

11:43 < ejp> holy crap. so, a client was replacing toner in their ~$10k copier/printer/etc. they bought the wrong toner, so when it didn't fit they OPENED UP the old cartridge and POURED THE NEW TONER IN.
11:44 < ejp> needless to say, it was an entirely different kind of toner and the machine is now FUBAR.
11:50 < solios> ejp: wow.
11:52 < ejp> solios: it's awesome.
11:52 < ejp> it'll be a $500+ service call
11:53 < solios> worst I've seen along those lines was somebody managed to fuck up a toner reload on the AIP printer - the shit was liquid/powdery gunk, you slammed into place and twisted... which locked the toner bottle in place and released it into the machine.
11:53 < solios> only this genius botched the procedure somehow.
11:53 < solios> so the inside of the printer was magenta for a few months.
11:54 < ejp> yeah, the new one is bottles, not cartridges.
11:54 < solios> so they.... uh.
11:54 < solios> they cracked a cartridge.
11:54 < solios> and poured. in. the toner.
11:54 < drusilla> ...

23:36 * ejp & #bed
23:36 -!- You're now known as solios_
23:36 < solios_> goddammit.
23:37 < solios_> we can't go to bed at the same time it'll look suspicious.
23:37 < ejp> this is awkward.
23:37 * solios_ goes.... to the BATHROOM.
23:37 < solios_> yeah, that's the ticket.
23:37 < ejp> yeah, clean that shit off.
23:37 < solios_> will do.
23:37 * solios_ &
23:37 < ejp> *poof*

22:33 < solios> did two steadmanesque sketches of Whoscarf Harb tonight.
22:33 <@bda> O_o
22:33 <@bda> Steadmanesque?
22:33 < solios> Ralph Steadman.
22:34 <@bda> NX
22:34 < solios> loose.
22:34 < solios> [ the Fear And Loathing guy ] # I _WISH_ I could draw like that.
22:34 < solios> anyway.
22:34 < solios> two.
22:34 < solios> (a) Napoleonesque, scarf blowing in wind.
22:35 < ejp> bda: my advice? invade france.
22:35 < solios> (b) actionesque, some sort of kung fu pose, scarf indistinct but blocking off feet so I wouldn't have to draw them, cel in one hand, ipod in the other.
22:35 < ejp> in *summer*
22:35 <@bda> O_o
22:36 < solios> pick one. :P
22:36 < solios> harboleon is pretty easy.
22:36 <@bda> uh (a) please.
22:36 <@bda> harboleon!
22:36 < solios> bryaneau reeves, otoh....
22:36 * bda invades *Russia* in the winter.
22:37 < ejp> good luck with that.
22:37 < solios> well, if you _start_ in the winter...
22:37 < solios> (nobody ever has...)
22:38 < ejp> of course, bda is rather taller than napoleon. he was wee.
22:38 <@bda> harboleon needs not adhere to Napoleonic stature.
22:38 < solios> :D
22:38 < ejp> CHIBI HARB!
22:38 <@bda> ejp: DIENOW
22:38 < solios> XD
22:39 < ejp> it'd rock and you know it

My friend Ben is spending a few months in China. For all intents and purposes, China may as well be Mars, or The Matrix, or similar. Despite what you may have heard, the society is not without its benefits (emphasis mine).

< ben> oh I don't even try thinking of what's in the food
< ben> the hair soup/tree fungus dish was great
< ben> Oh!!!
< ben> Went to an all you can eat pizza buffet with chinese food
< ben> cool thing: the beer is all you can drink too
< ben> I didn't have any, as me no likey beer, but the guys who did said it was ok.

16:49 <@esch> I love "Bela Lugosi's Dead"
16:49 <@esch> The title.
16:49 <@esch> IS IT A CONTRACTION, OR DOES HE OWN THEM?

15:25 <@bda> How long was the fourth Dr's scarf?
15:26 < solios> hm.
15:26 < solios> at least 3.5 meters.
15:26 < solios> he can sit in a chair legs full-out with it wrapped twice around his neck, ends over his toes and the fringe will still splay over the table.
15:31 <@bda> [ reference ]
15:31 <@bda> Sophy is bored. She knits.
15:31 <@bda> I told her to make me a Fourth Doctor Scarf.
15:31 < solios> !
15:31 < solios> 3.5m.
15:31 < solios> :)
15:31 < ejp> I will require pictures.
15:31 <@bda> :D
15:31 <@bda> ?
15:31 < solios> it's gotta go two turns around your neck and still drag on the ground.
15:31 <@bda> Yup.
15:31 < ejp> of the bescarfed harble.
15:32 < solios> the scarf rocks.
15:32 <@bda> Well, we'll see. I doubt she actually has time to knit a ~twelve foot scarf. :P
15:32 < solios> :)
15:32 <@bda> I'd totally wear that shit, though.
15:32 <@bda> All trenchy.
15:32 < solios> hahah.
15:32 <@bda> With a giant rainbow scarf.
15:32 <@bda> Fuckin' A.
15:32 < solios> :D
15:32 <@bda> pwnt.
15:32 < ejp> PhillyPimp
15:32 <@bda> I'd weight the ends, too.
15:32 <@bda> ;P
15:32 < solios> heheh.
15:33 < solios> fuck.
15:33 < solios> my brain.
15:33 < solios> I just pictured you in mirrorshades twirling that shit like bolos.
15:33 < ejp> no thanks
15:34 < solios> dude it would rock and you know it.
15:35 < solios> now I'm going to have to draw it. :(
15:35 <@bda> haha.
15:35 * solios adds harb-with-scarf-fu to the list of things to do while ATC renders.
15:35 <@bda> :X
15:35 <@bda> Make sure you use the new 'shades. :D
15:35 < solios> gimme pix, j0.
15:36 <@bda> Head is shaved down, with trimmed beard.
15:36 <@bda> muaha.
15:37 < ejp> so...kinda of a Hellboy/Rasputin look.
15:37 <@bda> Only Irish.
15:37 < solios> so Spider without the tats cosplaying as Doctor Neo?
15:37 < ejp> ph34r
15:37 <@bda> solios: Head isn't bic'd. :P

11:57 < mdxi> pardon the repeat, #perl people, i just need to share this more
11:57 < mdxi> yesterday the mayor of biloxi said "this is our tsunami"
11:58 < mdxi> today, in an apparent bid to steal back the Historical Miscomprehension Award, the governor of Louisiana said "I can only imagine this is what Hiroshima was like"
11:59 < ejp> ...
