207 207) <A. Gelman and G. Romero> We originally wrote this article in Word, but then we converted it to Latex to make it look more like science.
208 208) <Phantom_Hoover> This is good if you are a wheat plant but bad if you like eating wheat seeds.
209 209) <zzo38> ais523: Maybe it is better, because I don't think the octopus will live very well in the tree. But the difference is that the Internet is lying and you cannot see such things; you could make modified picture, though, in order to lie more clearly, at least.
210 210) <ais523> gah, why does lose keep winning?
211 211) <oerjan> (the former is a very deep theorem, i'd have had to read the whole book to understand it, so i didn't.)
212 212) <quintopia> who is guido van rossum <olsner> you could say he's a man who grew a beard but acquired none of the associated good properties

216 216) <ineiros> HELLWORLD! <fizzie> It's like HELLO WORLD, except not *quite*. <ineiros> There is more agony.
217 217) <Deewiant> My STRN.G detects runoff strings that haven't been terminated but would hit a zero after wrapping and tries to allocate the 16+-gigabyte-stack required
218 218) <xplat> so you have legacy software in befunge that needs supported?
219 219) <oerjan> <Gregor> oerjan: Tell us what (a(b{c}d)*2e)%2 expands to <-- ababcdbcdedbabcdbcdede, i think <Gregor> oerjan: What - the - fuck
220 220) [on egojoust] <elliott> The fact is that EgoBot's % handling is O(slow) and O(big), and mine isn't.
221 221) <ais523> OK, I give up, logging into Wikia is harder than writing a Firefox extension

225 225) <zzo38> If you want to use TeX formats invented by Christians, use Plain TeX. However, I do not think the religion of its author is a good way to decide what to use. I decide to use Plain TeX for its own reasons.
226 226) <elliott> lol @ closed character set standard <elliott> "What does this codepoint represent?" "Nobody knows."
227 227) [on DNA Maze] <ais523> it requires more thought than Vorpal seems to be capable of
228 228) <nddrylliog> back to legal tender, that expression really makes me daydream. Like, there'd be black-market tender. Out-of-town hug shops where people exchange tenderness you've NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
229 229) <fizzie> Phantom_Hoover: I have just one tvtropes page open in elinks, but my tvtropes.txt "queue" has 38 tvtropes.org URLs waiting for processing.
230 230) <zzo38> Lymia: I put big spider in my bed already. So if you have no more left you do not have to worry about it anymore. You can just take a cold shower or hot acid or whatever you want to, instead.

232 232) <elliott> 320 quotes and still not a funny one yet!

235 235) <oklopol> actually the first joke i thought elliott was making was that he's so small masturbation is gay pedophilia
236 236) <zzo38> Why do you want to have sex in everything? I don't want.
237 237) <oklopol> okay see in my head it went, you send from your other number smth like "i'd certainly like to see you in those pink panties again" and she's like "WHAT?!? Sgeo took a pic?!?!?! that FUCKING PIG"
238 238) <Phantom__Hoover> Gregor, yeah, but Purdue has poultry science facilities beyond the dreams of avarice.
239 239) <zzo38> However is probably better to have both queen/king and government in case one does bad thing, the other side can argue to them
240 240) <treederwright> enjoy being locked in your matrix of solidity
241 241) <oklopol> shit would make great currency, because everyone would have it and you could literally be filthy rich
242 242) <fungot> elliott: there go my minutes of research!!
243 243) <tswett> There are white Africans out there, but, you know. A black swan in the hand does not imply causation.
244 244) <fungot> Phantom_Hoover: if the list is in random order, like poor ehird here

247 247) <cpressey> addquoting yourself? isn't that like commenting on your own facebook status? <Gregor> Yup, but I'm JUST THAT AWESOME.
248 248) <fungot> Phantom_Hoover: mutation is often considerably harder for both humans and compilers can analyze it much more difficult' part that induces bloody vomit... huh....intriguing
249 249) <fungot> oerjan: are you in an aware state when the only hammer you have is for variable assignation and blocks
250 250) <oklopol> quintopia: no i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing because *you're stupid* <oklopol> i mean <oklopol> with you

252 252) <zzo38> Is anyone in here who knows cricket rules and has experience? <Slereah> What if I told you the baseball rules in a british accent?
253 253) <zzo38> I also do not like that it should be disallow just because of too weird. They haveto make up more name so that not everyone has the same name!!!

262 262) <cpressey> BYE dbc WE'LL BE SURE TO ACCIDENTALLY MENTION YOUR NICK OFTEN
263 263) <tswett> Of course, "b" is clearly just "pv". <tswett> Say "pvottle". It will sound... similar to exactly the same as "bottle".
264 264) [After a long monologue] <oklopol> i think i have to escape this heated discussion before it becomes a flamewar
265 265) <Gregor> That's for $literals in the parser. It should maybe be atol too, but probably you shouldn't have nonterminals with more than two billion children.
266 266) <zzo38> elliott: I doubt water memory can last for even one second in a gravitational field (or even outside of a gravitational field), but other people think they can make water memory with telephones.
267 267) <lament> elliott: well what i would do if i were omniscient and omnipotent would be to create an immortal woman with perfect tits and bang her for the rest of eternity
268 268) <Gregor> I use LiGNUXFCE+apps <Gregor> That's pronounced by saying "Linux" and then vomiting, btw.
269 269) <monqy> I've only watched bad movies about video game. I enjoyed every second of it.
270 270) <oklopol> and then there's the slightly annoying one where suddenly, i start rolling forward and i can't stop <oklopol> like i can be having some great sex dream or whatever and then suddenly "oh god not this again" <oklopol> (i go "not this again" but not necessarily realize it's a dream)
271 271) <Vorpal> elliott, it was an artful robbery! <Vorpal> wait, murder

273 273) <oklopol> haha, god made one helluva blunder there :DS <oklopol> "WHOOPS HE AIN'T DEAD YET!" <oklopol> "luckily no one will believe him because christians are such annoying retards"
274 274) <elliott> A priori one cannot say that post hoc ergo propter hoc the diminishing returns would give; yet under quid pro quo one can agglutinate fabula and sujet into vagrancies untold. <elliott> See? I'm intellectual.
275 275) <Sgeo_> I think she either likes me, is neutral towards me, or dislikes me
276 276) <Phantom_Hoover> DON'T MOCK ME WITH YOUR ABILITY TO DIVIDE BY TEN
277 277) <Phantom_Hoover> Oh, Hitler! You and your wacky antics!

293 293) <zzo38> <elliott> <quintopia> i know it's unusual, but i agree with you both to some extent
294 294) <elliott> Nationalism is no more (probably less) logical than consumerism, after all, as stupid as the word "logical" is as a system to rank things
295 295) <Gregor> Write-only IRC: best idea <coppro> Gregor: we have that. It's called Twitter
296 296) <elliott> AV is better than first-past-the-post, like every voting system apart from the Random Elephant Stomping method

300 300) <Phantom_Hoover> Yeah, I went through a whole series of existential crises when I was 8 or so.

302 302) <augur> oerjan you're swedish, right?
303 303) <monqy> my most fresh dream is one where I'm at a soup contest and a chicken really wants to participate but he's disqualified so he becomes the judge. when all the soups are done and he's ready to taste them he just stares at the soup and then I become the chicken and I really want to make soup

309 309) <ZOMGMODULES> I can trust elliott_ to have an opinion on anything and everything <elliott_> Yes. <elliott_> And the best thing is: it is the correct opinion.
310 310) <ZOMGMODULES> Vorpal: it's actually called Happy <ZOMGMODULES> Vorpal: Do not use it. Use Parsec. This is the wisdom of ZOMGMODULES.

313 313) <ZOMGMODULES> scripting language. whole program analysis. together at last
314 314) <zzo38> I figured out something about C program. If you use ? : a lot then you don't need as much parentheses but it makes it more difficult to understand.
315 315) <zzo38> Finally I found the wand of electric lightning now we can destroy any large object if it needs to be destroyed and is required to use a such a wand for that purpose.

318 318) <Vorpal> CakeProphet, the X support is fairly recent. Not more than a few decades old
319 319) <elliott> oerjan: but hypothetically, assume a Christian spontaneously materialised during the apocalypse
320 320) <pikhq_> And if they wanted to go for "true" security, they'd just do "Warning: your computer has not been turned into a plasma. This may cause some of your personal data to be stolen. Click here to turn your computer into a ball of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace."
321 321) <fizzie> [...] So it'll be a while before the boob will touch you back.
322 322) <fizzie> You make a fist, shake it at the sky, and shout "why, GNU, why?!" -- that is the standard reportig practice.
323 323) <Phantom_Hoover> The system I kind of have in mind makes a flying train a natural consequence.
324 324) <EgoBot> hey fhet's zeees OouooH SNEP IT'S A FOooCKING TIGER
325 325) <zzo38> Learn to be Chinese and kill yourself
326 326) <Sgeo> Hmm. I guess it's nearby GRBs that would be problematic? <Phantom_Hoover> Sgeo, if by 'problematic' you mean 'what's that in the AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH'.
327 327) <oklopol> yes i use the services of a psychic, but i'm considering getting a live one since stuff like "hello $name, your first name $first_name has |$first_name| letters, so by using numerology we can tell ..." is getting kind of boring
328 328) <zzo38> Fiddle. It makes a big difference, you know.
329 329) <oklopol> but touchscreens should feel like poking a boob
330 330) <oklopol> are there boobs you wack and squeeze around to move the mouse? [...] <oklopol> like those little nipples in laptop keyboards, but they'd be full-blown boobies
331 331) [after a long string of Lymia getting lambdabot to spit out huge, meaningless type signatures] <Lymia> I need to learn more Haskell... <CakeProphet> ..I need to get op privs.
332 332) <ais523> I think I managed something like a one-expression increment that was only a few hundred characters long
333 333) <monqy> Sgeo: also do you know how to write a parser <Sgeo> monqy, how hard could it be?
334 334) <Sgeo> I hope type inference isn't difficult
335 335) <Gregor> You have no idea how desperately I want to avoid being a GC guy :P <Gregor> Every year I go to ISMM and Doug Lea gives me a bizarrely-cheery "Hello!" and I'm like "awww shit I'm in memory management"
336 336) <oklopol> anyway i have to get going, first lecture at 9 and i need to do a few iterations on my article, and do some unmentionable things which also take hours <oklopol> and masturbate as well
337 337) <Phantom_Hoover> The eigenratio of reality has to be enormous, though.
338 338) <oklopol> so about jacuzzis, do they usually have a way to make it it not heat but freeze the water?

340 340) <oklofok> what would you ever need petrol for <oklofok> newsflash: it doesn't actually taste that good
341 341) [on petrol] <ais523> oklofok: it's actually poisonous, so I advise against drinking it <Phantom_Hoover> ais523, also contains benzene, my carcinogen of choice.
342 342) <oklofok> "<pikhq> elliott: Americans also have 20 mile one-way commutes." <<< one-way commutes? you have like disposable jobs?

347 347) <Sgeo> I used to be more irritated by alcohol <olsner> Sgeo: you're not supposed to put it in your eyes
348 348) * perlmonkey is pursuing the line of reasoning that eating raw foods can improve cognitive function <Phantom_Hoover> perlmonkey, well, it certainly makes you think about what you'd rather be eating.
349 349) <Gregor> You just went from "no sexualized ads" to "we have ads for dildos, but they're different for ads for Orangina" X-D
350 350) <coppro> elliott: actually, it's worse right now, I'm in the USA <coppro> where the solution to counterfeiting problems is "add more ink" <coppro> eventually all US bills will just be solid green

352 352) <Phantom_Hoover> The wickedest man of all. <Phantom_Hoover> Surpassed only in wickedness by the wicked witches of the west and east. <copumpkin> you talking about me again? <Phantom_Hoover> Yes. <copumpkin> k

354 354) <Sgeo_> Something about faiing a asanity check <Sgeo_> sanity <Sgeo_> faliling <Sgeo_> failing
355 355) <zzo38> Sanity is insufficient by itself. Many other things are also important.
356 356) <olsner> as always in sweden everything goes to a fixed pattern: thursday is queueing at systembolaget to get beer and schnaps, friday is pickled herring, schnaps and dancing the frog dance around the phallos, saturday is dedicated to being hung over

364 364) <Phantom_Hoover> I go to clean up the shrapnel from a teabag and you're discussing the definition of god out of nowhere.
365 365) <d1ffe7e45e interpreter> The interpreter uses an unbounded tape size, but due to technical limitations will stop being unbounded if the tap size reaches 2^63 cells.
366 366) <Sgeo> Will anyone be irritated if I tend to disconnect and reconnect a lot? [...] <oerjan> we _almost_ have an established policy that bots will be banned it they do that. which means we might have to administer a turing test to sgeo, and that could get ugly.
367 367) <Phantom_Hoover> oerjan, little do you realise that everything you say and do is part of that great monad tutorial we call life.
368 368) <ais523> Phantom_Hoover: nope, I removed . from the current directory
369 369) <oklopol> [...] only the hamster's nervous system was tortured. although probably torturing a large logical gate constitutes a horrible thing to do if it comes in a cute container.
370 370) <Phantom_Hoover> pikhq, living in the future sucks. <Phantom_Hoover> The past just keeps coming up to us and trying to make us feel guilty.

377 377) <oklofok> mixing drinks together is like taking all of mozart's works and listening to all of them at once <oklofok> and in general a drink - and most foods - are kind like taking a song and then just taking the average of the notes and listening to it for three minutes. <oklofok> olsner: the point is you don't have to be the composer yourself <oklofok> not everyone knows what sequences of drinks taste the best
378 378) <oklofok> drinks should come in long long pipes that drip liquid at varying speeds, and you shouldn't just casually taste to them, you should really try to understand what the artist (the canposer?) was trying to convey when making the drink <oklofok> olsner: well you know i'm a genius. anyway i like how food works tho, because it has both the element of composing and choice, it's kind of like an rpg really

382 382) <fizzie> elliott: You have become the very thing you fought for!
383 383) <fizzie> Deewiant: Well, I guess you could argue so. But to me a it's not a real clobbering if you can still tell there was something that got clobbered.
384 384) <Taneb> Turned out he got recursion, he just didn't get the return statement
385 385) <SgeoN1> No nasty sounds for a while now. Going to turn off and on and see if the numbers get worse.

388 388) <oklopol> you know that thing in the movies where they put a pillow on someone's face and try to suffocate them <oklopol> that doesn't work. <oklopol> we tried that with my ex once, but we just couldn't kill each other that way

397 397) <fizzie> There's that saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. [...] <Taneb> You've just gave me a different result [...] <fizzie> It's always insane to expect different results, even when it's likely to occur.
398 398) <Taneb> Someone with that sort of grasp of logic shouldn't be allowed anything more computationally powerful than a plastic spoon
399 399) <oklopol> interestingly enough, go is a second player win <oklopol> chess is also first player win <oklopol> tennis, interestingly enough, is always a draw.

404 404) <elliott> God, I sure do hate Apple and their header files that only include the functions they're specified to.
405 405) <elliott> Do one better! Pretend to be an idiot until YOU DIE.
406 406) <Taneb> So... God has jizzed on everything? <oklopol> have you even READ the bible?
407 407) <elliott_> Vorpal: Won't be slower than Python ;-) <Vorpal> elliott_, yeah but that is like saying a T-Ford going down a hill won't be slower than a bicycle uphill on a bumpy road :P

417 417) <itidus20> It's ok guys. I am doing what I can to keep my psyche and ego surviving. All the while the threat of ww3 looms, the mortality of family and friends(loved ones?) and sooner or llater my own mortality.
418 418) <NihilistDandy> Capitalism is a cancer. But I'm a smoker, anyway, so...

442 442) <NihilistDandy> Having only been Catholic in the sense of being baptized that way, I still really like all their silly arcana <NihilistDandy> Judaism has them beat, of course <NihilistDandy> I almost converted just so I could look at my roommate's books
443 443) <ais523> it's probably the same people who were trying to organise gangs of shoplifters as some sort of complex protest against the government's economic policy

445 445) <ais523> oerjan: I'm not imaginative enough to write truly great slash fiction

447 447) <monqy> the classic "souls have mass" hypothesis
448 448) <Phantom_Hoover> What is it with Cardassians, they're all really nice and then they hit you with a rock.
449 449) <Patashu> it's the pain of the gaps argument <Patashu> no matter how good your robot is at feeling pain <Patashu> it's never close enough
450 450) <zzo38> Pythagoras was running away and he reached a field of beans, but he didn't want to step on them so he let those guys chasing him to kill him instead.
451 451) <elliott> What does "life" actually mean, anyway; it seems to mean "this thing that's infinitely greater than all my actual hobbies that I do all the time because I rule"

456 456) <itidus20> like i could ask how many "petals" are there on each of the "flowers" on this coffee mug i just made a drink with <itidus20> but that would be NP hard I think

458 458) <elliott> I MIGHT BECOME GHOST

460 460) <Phantom_Hoover> On further reflection, I think I did manage to miss winter and spring altogether. <Phantom_Hoover> This does explain the goblin siege I had in autumn.
461 461) <Phantom_Hoover> A possessed soapmaker: the most ridiculous thing? <Phantom_Hoover> OH YES YOU JUST HAD TO CLAIM THE WORKSHOP I SET ASIDE FOR STRAND EXTRACTION YOU BASTARD <Phantom_Hoover> I SWEAR IF ANY OF THAT ADAMANTINE GOES MISSING YOU'RE GETTING SOME HIGH-QUALITY ROOMS
462 462) <ais523> (Enigma is two games; one is solving Enigma puzzles, the other is working out how to represent things as Enigma puzzles, preferably with the minimal amount of lua and player-hidden information possible)
463 463) <itidus20> that shit adds up. have you ever dropped a math problem in the toilet and got an answer back? yeah... it adds up
464 464) <elliott_> I hope in the future people curse me for creating such a shitty protocol.

467 467) <Phantom_Hoover> I didn't realise nickel apparently can't be shaped into a screw because of some fundamental feature of dwarven physics.
468 468) <evincar> elliott_: I don't see a difference between a function taking a function as an argument, and some composition of those functions.
469 469) <monqy> this reminds me of a time where this guy made up a pretend language that was in his fantasy world and then roleplayed as someone from his fantasy world who used the language and then tried to talk to me about the language

472 472) <fizzie> That's the stupidest thing I've heard all morning. (Though I did wake up five minutes ago, so I haven't had a chance to hear very much.) <fizzie> The "Why are you still asleep? I told the cat to wake you up." comment does come pretty close, though.
473 473) <monqy> mmm these music samples are still so tasteful

478 478) <Vorpal> ais523, how can TAEB take too long? It is turn based. As long as it isn't taking like several minutes per move it is acceptable! <ais523> Vorpal: it gets boring waiting for it
479 479) <fungot> elliott__: my fnord into normal life was a painful and difficult process. [...]
480 480) <fizzie> They're (according to current plans/rumours) going to release a grand total of approximately 1.1 MeeGo devices; the N9, plus the N950 "developers only" phone, which I'm counting as 0.1 because (even though it is a MeeGo device) it's not going to actually be released.
481 481) <monqy> game where you flip a coin but it's really really big
482 482) <elliott> we need more films aimed at the lucrative irc nerd demographic
483 483) <Phantom_Hoover> I keep asking random people for "friendship <thing>" and it's crippling
484 484) <zzo38> I think Perl is a programming language too. [...]
485 485) <elliott> Deewiant: How do you go through life without seeing at least one gaping anus, that's what I want to know
486 486) <Sgeo> Maybe I should try to learn Scala instead of Ruby <elliott> I will boil your veins. <Sgeo> Which is less bad? <elliott> Probably Scala, but I don't want you learning languages.
487 487) <fizzie> I tend to debase64 with perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print decode_base64("...");', because at least PERL stands for "PERL ein't-no ruddy-poo lol-GNU".
488 488) <Phantom_Hoover> FFS, building a perpetual motion machine should not be this hard.
489 489) <Phantom_Hoover> Intake flooded with magma. <Phantom_Hoover> Reactor connected. <Phantom_Hoover> Pumps active. <Phantom_Hoover> YES IT'S WORKING

491 491) <Patashu> But I mean, why fix it if it ain't broke? Except now it is
492 492) <Phantom_Hoover> The fact that the elves will be happy with this will hopefully be counteracted by the fact that I plan to drop them into the magma cistern.
493 493) <Phantom_Hoover> I'm sacrificing the animals, then I'm going to bed.
494 494) <Phantom_Hoover> Yeah, Bashir, just sit there drinking, rather than diagnosing the carpenter mauled in that tragic bonobo accident.
495 495) <CakeProphet> monqy: help how do I use lambdabot to send messages to people. [...around half an hour later...] <CakeProphet> @messages <lambdabot> quicksilver said 1y 2m 18d 19h 54m 29s ago: you use @tell

500 500) <Phantom_Hoover> You mean it'd be Tau Zero but without the spaceship?
501 501) <Phantom_Hoover> OK, making myself emergency doctor on the advice of IRC.
502 502) <elliott> help me i am so alone :( <monqy> new computer good enough to simulate real parents
503 503) <fungot> elliott: ppl should vote clinton because obama is biracial every1 knows that dood, look at him he has been on something lately.
504 504) <itidus20> indirect addressing is a facile and inebrious kind of instruction which should be whomped away by languages
505 505) <fungot> elliott: mr president, commissioner, i fully accept that description when it comes to human rights. yes, with an average fat content of chocolate, and we are using double standards! we all know that under present legislation and also in relation to standardization bodies. if i do not want.
506 506) <fizzie> Isn't "strip nomic" just another word for all dating, though?
507 507) <ais523> this strikes me as probably better than a singularity, because you can't trust a random AI, but you can probably trust olsner
508 508) <Phantom_Hoover> It is like the Holocaust but with Nazis.
509 509) <ais523> oh no, I think we've managed to mix three metaphors in a way that actually makes sense
510 510) <Patashu> dangit I need someone who knows the answers to my problems instantly and is always around for me! <Patashu> I need.....an adult ;_;

515 515) <monqy> one time I tried cpp programming ​ <monqy> it was hellish ​ <monqy> maybe I should try again
516 516) <fungot> CakeProphet: mr president, in the best egyptian judicial traditions has now been put off to friday. but i want my money back'. we know it generally deals with major infrastructure projects which could form part of the emergency package for korea, on christmas eve, in the interests of consumers and the environment of gmos.
517 517) <oklopol> king is something women are better at than men
518 518) <Taneb> Just goes to show, the Beatles are more interesting than green vegetables.
519 519) <elliott> Vorpal: who needs cars when you can walk to latvia
520 520) [from 2009] <fizzie> That's confusing. I have been indoctrinated to believe W|A, but on the other hand it's hard to unbelieve a book with such a ridiculously impressive name as "Handbook of physical testing of paper, Volume 2".
521 521) <monqy> in the past few minutes I tried remembering what my dream last night was, but instead remembered I didn't sleep
522 522) <itidus20> what is nice about a pebble is that you can process it with your brain as a number by simply looking at it
523 523) <Taneb> I think this has taught us one thing. We can't teach itidus20 lambda calculus by comittee
524 524) <Sgeo> Can you build the ... why wouldn't you be able to, just and all the computables
525 525) <Gregor> You know how the arrow pierces your skin, rearranging and randomizing vital internal structure? <Gregor> Monads are like that, only worse.
526 526) <Taneb> Mayor says we need to make aluminum items <Phantom_Hoover> Taneb, PH says you need to make lava items.
527 527) <elliott> Dear god stop staring at me. <monqy> no never <Phantom_Hoover> monqy is always staring at everyone. <monqy> it takes many eyes to do this but I manage <Phantom_Hoover> He is an inspiration to us all.
528 528) <elliott> Second Life is like... real life, modelled by people who've READ about real life, you know, in books.
529 529) <fizzie> One reasonable approach for the image->color case could be to take the mean (possibly in the RGB space, it doesn't have the hue discontinuity problem) of the most likely Gaussian distribution to have yielded the image pixels, considering each pixel as an independent sample. <fizzie> Wait, that'd just be the mean. Never mind.
530 530) <Gregor> Hulu's movie selection is like MST3K without the MST3K characters.
531 531) <Gregor> Let us discuss the correct procedure for converting LP -> FLAC <fizzie> The correct procedure is: you put the LP into a flatbed scanner, scan it as a Windows .bmp file, and then rename that file to .flac.
532 532) <tswett> Come to think of it, I've praised you a little too effusively. I'm not *that* pleased. If you'll permit me to compensate slightly... <tswett> elliott: fuck you. <tswett> There. Perfect. Carry on.
533 533) <myndzi> lol :(
534 534) <Gregor> But whereas the Zune UI makes one think "I want to kill myself", the Windows CE UI makes one think "I want to kill myself, but first kill my parents as punishment for bringing into this world someone who would one day own a Windows CE device."
535 535) <hagb4rd> jesus, yes.. he was human <hagb4rd> and that is fantastic <hagb4rd> more than beeing able to speak with fish.. like seaman does

538 538) <Phantom_Hoover> OMG <Phantom_Hoover> What if <Phantom_Hoover> we shoot Hitler with neutrinos
539 539) <Phantom_Hoover> It's like Pygmalion and Galatea but more weeaboo. <Phantom_Hoover> Also lesbian.
540 540) <monqy> did you know: gravity was inspired by apples
541 541) <ais523> isn't a neutrino detector just a large vat of washing-up liquid with a bit of machinery attached?
542 542) <fungot> fizzie: it doesn't *use* raw cgi. to my deep fnord i'm only fnord of the job description. it's badly fnord also.
543 543) <fizzie> It's just electricity, how dangerous could it be?
544 544) <fungot> sadhu: it's been said that boole is the crowning jewel perched precariously upon the perfect peak of programmer prowess, casting its limitless limpid light over the loathesome lands of those who scuff and wallow in the dreary dust of digital depravity and unbounded wilful ignorance of the testament of our lord jesus christ into your life.
545 545) <ais523> elliott: so what are the two issues with xfce? <elliott> they're very unlikely to fuck up Xfce, and it can be made to work basically exactly like gnome two

550 550) <oerjan> i am sorry to disappoint you, but my musical taste is on the side abba, verdi, and celine dion. i know this may not be popular and that you would have preferred me to be a satanist.
551 551) <Ngevd> Dammit, Gregor, this is not the time to fall in love
552 552) <oklopol> but i guess (x + y)^n = (x^2 + 2xy + y^2)(x^2 + 2xy + y^2)...(x^2 + 2xy + y^2) if n is even, (x + y)^n = (x^2 + 2xy + y^2)(x^2 + 2xy + y^2)...(x^2 + 2xy + y^2)(x + y) is as good a fundamental theorem as any
553 553) <oklopol> so you are doing for compilers what imperative programming did for functional programming
554 554) <fizzie> Spacegoat is the network-operations-optimized-for-latency-of-minutes-or-hours-due-to-light-speed-limits variant of scapegoat, to be used when you need to check out some code from the Mars colony. <fizzie> (I'm pretty sure we'll have established a Mars colony by the time scapegoat rolls out.)
555 555) <fizzie> [...] It's like the future was already here (in all its headache-inducing flickery glory) in the mid-1990s, and then it just... went away.
556 556) <fizzie dictionary> An 'ad hobbitem' fallacy is when you try to undermine someone's credibility by referring to how hairy his/her feets are.

561 561) <Phantom__Hoover> Also you steal Berwick from us and then say you don't want it? <Ngevd> You stole it from us first!
562 562) <monqy> bad people have feelings too <monqy> but they're bad <monqy> so it's okay
563 563) <fizzie> It's a bit like a regular monowheel, except when you brake too hard, instead of you going around and around inside the wheel, the (1100lb) wheel rolls over you.
564 564) <oerjan> <Patashu> But wait what if I'm using a quantum computer <-- there is "quantum entropy". it's the same except no one understands it.

573 573) <fizzie> If you jump a car from a ramp and hit the wall of a building, in midair, you tend to get ejected up and fly to the sky-ceiling, then slowly slide at that height to one corner of the world; then you land, make a complicated spinning-around thing for a while, and then explode. <fizzie> Also probably works in real life?
574 574) <Phantom_Hoover> I think the worst part of growing up is that it isn't retroactive.

595 595) <ais523> Just about all females often feel that exactly why all Hollywood stars common maintain its brightness as Tom in spite of frantic operate routine and large operate pressure from the skin. What do you think that they have got sufficient time to observe all attractiveness strategies and tips that his grandmother utilized to abide by?
596 596) <Phantom__Hoover> (I'm not really sure what that explains but nor am I sure what I'm explaining, so it cancels out.)

601 601) <twice11> Yeah, statistics with 2 data points is science. Statistics with one data point is crap. <twice11> You measure a third point if you need an error estimate.
