181) <fizzie> The Perl script is probably slower than the Befunge code.

214) <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.

218) <olsner> actually, I think vorpal is the "retarded team member" to the left
219) <Vorpal> !bfjoust test (-)*10000  <EgoBot> Score for Vorpal_test: 12.9  <Vorpal> yay
220) <Vorpal> !bfjoust test (++-)*1000000  <Vorpal> probably will suck  <EgoBot> Score for Vorpal_test: 30.4  <Vorpal> what
221) <ineiros> HELLWORLD!  <fizzie> It's like HELLO WORLD, except not *quite*.  <ineiros> There is more agony.
222) <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
223) <xplat> so you have legacy software in befunge that needs supported?
224) <oerjan> <Gregor> oerjan: Tell us what (a(b{c}d)*2e)%2 expands to <-- ababcdbcdedbabcdbcdede, i think  <Gregor> oerjan: What - the - fuck
225) [on egojoust] <elliott> The fact is that EgoBot's % handling is O(slow) and O(big), and mine isn't.
226) <ais523> OK, I give up, logging into Wikia is harder than writing a Firefox extension
227) <Deewiant> !bfjoust sm3 <  <EgoBot> Score for Deewiant_sm3: 43.4

230) <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.
231) <elliott> lol @ closed character set standard  <elliott> "What does this codepoint represent?" "Nobody knows."
232) [on DNA Maze] <ais523> it requires more thought than Vorpal seems to be capable of
233) <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.
234) <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.
235) <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.
236) <ais523> gah, who'd have thought removing concurrency from algol could be so difficult
237) <elliott> 320 quotes and still not a funny one yet!

240) <oklopol> actually the first joke i thought elliott was making was that he's so small masturbation is gay pedophilia
241) <zzo38> Why do you want to have sex in everything? I don't want.
242) <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"
243) <Phantom__Hoover> Gregor, yeah, but Purdue has poultry science facilities beyond the dreams of avarice.

252) <cpressey> addquoting yourself?  isn't that like commenting on your own facebook status?  <Gregor> Yup, but I'm JUST THAT AWESOME.
253) <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
254) <fungot> oerjan: are you in an aware state when the only hammer you have is for variable assignation and blocks
255) <oklopol> quintopia: no i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing because *you're stupid*  <oklopol> i mean  <oklopol> with you

265) <olsner> django is named after a person?  <olsner> thought it would be a giraffe or something
266) <Gregor> Ohheywait, I can make it a raytracer instead of a photon tracer so long as I run time backwards.
267) <cpressey> BYE dbc WE'LL BE SURE TO ACCIDENTALLY MENTION YOUR NICK OFTEN
268) <tswett> Of course, "b" is clearly just "pv".  <tswett> Say "pvottle".  It will sound... similar to exactly the same as "bottle".
269) [After a long monologue] <oklopol> i think i have to escape this heated discussion before it becomes a flamewar
270) <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.
271) <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.
272) <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
273) <Gregor> I use LiGNUXFCE+apps  <Gregor> That's pronounced by saying "Linux" and then vomiting, btw.
274) <monqy> I've only watched bad movies about video game. I enjoyed every second of it.
275) <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)
276) <Vorpal> elliott, it was an artful robbery!  <Vorpal> wait, murder

279) <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.
280) <Sgeo_> I think she either likes me, is neutral towards me, or dislikes me
281) <Phantom_Hoover> DON'T MOCK ME WITH YOUR ABILITY TO DIVIDE BY TEN
282) <Phantom_Hoover> Oh, Hitler! You and your wacky antics!

298) <zzo38>    <elliott>    <quintopia> i know it's unusual, but i agree with you both to some extent
299) <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
300) <Gregor> Write-only IRC: best idea  <coppro> Gregor: we have that. It's called Twitter

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

307) <augur> oerjan you're swedish, right?
308) <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

318) <ZOMGMODULES> scripting language.  whole program analysis.  together at last
319) <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.

323) <Vorpal> CakeProphet, the X support is fairly recent. Not more than a few decades old
324) <elliott> oerjan: but hypothetically, assume a Christian spontaneously materialised during the apocalypse
325) <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."
326) <fizzie> [...] So it'll be a while before the boob will touch you back.

329) <EgoBot> hey fhet's zeees OouooH SNEP IT'S A FOooCKING TIGER
330) <zzo38> Learn to be Chinese and kill yourself
331) <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'.
332) <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
333) <zzo38> Fiddle. It makes a big difference, you know.
334) <oklopol> but touchscreens should feel like poking a boob
335) <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

338) <monqy> Sgeo: also do you know how to write a parser  <Sgeo> monqy, how hard could it be?
339) <Sgeo> I hope type inference isn't difficult
340) <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"
341) <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
342) <Phantom_Hoover> The eigenratio of reality has to be enormous, though.
343) <oklopol> so about jacuzzis, do they usually have a way to make it it not heat but freeze the water?

353) * 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.
354) <Gregor> You just went from "no sexualized ads" to "we have ads for dildos, but they're different for ads for Orangina" X-D
355) <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
356) <ais523_> meanwhile, I've been running a program for over 24 hours (getting close to 48 now) which is calculating digits of pi, in binary  <ais523_> so far, it has found four digits  <ais523_> I hope it will find the fifth some time this week

359) <Sgeo_> Something about faiing a asanity check  <Sgeo_> sanity  <Sgeo_> faliling  <Sgeo_> failing
360) <zzo38> Sanity is insufficient by itself. Many other things are also important.
361) <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

368) <NihilistDandy> elliott: His mouse obeys the law of the excluded middle :/
369) <Phantom_Hoover> I go to clean up the shrapnel from a teabag and you're discussing the definition of god out of nowhere.
370) <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.
371) <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.
372) <Phantom_Hoover> oerjan, little do you realise that everything you say and do is part of that great monad tutorial we call life.
373) <ais523> Phantom_Hoover: nope, I removed . from the current directory
374) <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.
375) <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.

381) <Sgeo> Dear eHow: Please don't assume that my toilet works like that  <Sgeo> Or, at least, my toilet looks different
382) <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
383) <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
384) <Madk> #%%:]__t�#  <Madk> do you see that  <Madk> that is great progress taking place

387) <fizzie> elliott: You have become the very thing you fought for!

389) <Taneb> Turned out he got recursion, he just didn't get the return statement
390) <SgeoN1> No nasty sounds for a while now. Going to turn off and on and see if the numbers get worse.

393) <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
394) <fizzie> The zipWith Camel, a famous World War 1 era airplane.

402) <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.
403) <Taneb> Someone with that sort of grasp of logic shouldn't be allowed anything more computationally powerful than a plastic spoon
404) <oklopol> interestingly enough, go is a second player win  <oklopol> chess is also first player win  <oklopol> tennis, interestingly enough, is always a draw.
405) <Taneb> Look, I often walk my dog through a field with cows in it. And I punched myself in the face once.
406) <Sgeo> I'm having nostalgia for when we could see the glass from the floor

419) <zzo38> If in some day, I publish some book, that might include some of the programs I have written too, but also some other books, possibly. However I never yet publish any book.
420) <itidus20> monqy: last night in my dreams I saw a false photo album of my childhood... looking ghostly
421) <monqy> itidus20: i saw a dancing cgi skeleton named malaria. i danced and played with him.
422) <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.
423) <NihilistDandy> Capitalism is a cancer. But I'm a smoker, anyway, so...
424) <itidus20> Game theory is not a perfect tool for analyzing video games.  <itidus20> Nash failed to create a "video game theory"

426) <Sgeo> My memory passed  <monqy> rest in peace sgeos memory

433) <monqy> beautiful summer / fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck / fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
434) <pikhq> I actually had a Neopets account. I later gained a second digit in my age.

436) <oerjan> i try to be a hermit but it's hard with all these housemates.

445) <Phantom_Hoover> Taneb's been hit by melancholy.  <Phantom_Hoover> He didn't have any friends, fortunatel.y
446) <Phantom_Hoover> You realise the micromanagement it took to make quintopia encrust my silver throne with emeralds rather than a jug?
447) <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
448) <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
449) <itidus20> anyway, notational systems are a function of the euclidean plane
450) <ais523> oerjan: I'm not imaginative enough to write truly great slash fiction
451) <oerjan> sllide: @ is an OS made out of only the finest vapour

455) <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
456) <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.
457) <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"
458) <itidus20> well, you have bested me  <zzo38> itidus20: Yes.
459) <itidus20> now theodore seuss is dead... so screw him
460) <zzo38> What is miff-muffered moof?  <itidus20> that's a tough question
461) <itidus20> software patents strike again  <ais523_> that's got to be at least three times, now  <ais523_> are they out yet?
462) <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
463) <itidus20> combinatronics seems to be the mathematics chasing buddha's tail  <itidus20> yeah.. he was a smart monkey that buddha
464) <elliott> I MIGHT BECOME GHOST
465) <Phantom_Hoover> I gave her the Noblesse Oblige rooms.  <Phantom_Hoover> She was happy with them even when they were behind 2 locked doors and a floodgate and full of water.
466) <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.
467) <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

472) <oklopol> i started running and smoking  <oklopol> i love my lungs the way they are so trying to balance them out
473) <Phantom_Hoover> I didn't realise nickel apparently can't be shaped into a screw because of some fundamental feature of dwarven physics.
474) <evincar> elliott_: I don't see a difference between a function taking a function as an argument, and some composition of those functions.
475) <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
476) <Taneb> I think it's fizzie against everyone atm  <Taneb> AND EVERYONE IS WINNING  <Taneb> EXCEPT FIZZIE
477) <itidus20> lets not wander around the mulberry bush beating our heads
478) <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.
479) <monqy> mmm these music samples are still so tasteful
480) <monqy> im sampling ultra hip holiday  <monqy> hes the boogie woogie santa clause  <monqy> switching to oktoberfest  <monqy> yes i would love to shop to this

483) <Vorpal> elliott_, oh they are people known in the ruby community?  <elliott_> Vorpal: Uh... you mean Hannah Montana?  <Vorpal> elliott_, yeah. And Zed Shaw. Either they are that or they come from popular culture.
484) <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
485) <fungot> elliott__: my fnord into normal life was a painful and difficult process. [...]
486) <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.
487) <monqy> game where you flip a coin but it's really really big
488) <elliott> we need more films aimed at the lucrative irc nerd demographic
489) <Phantom_Hoover> I keep asking random people for "friendship <thing>" and it's crippling
490) <zzo38> I think Perl is a programming language too. [...]
491) <elliott> Deewiant: How do you go through life without seeing at least one gaping anus, that's what I want to know
492) <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.
493) <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".
494) <Phantom_Hoover> FFS, building a perpetual motion machine should not be this hard.
495) <Phantom_Hoover> Intake flooded with magma.  <Phantom_Hoover> Reactor connected.  <Phantom_Hoover> Pumps active.  <Phantom_Hoover> YES IT'S WORKING
496) <fizzie> "Do a sea monster while whatever."
497) <Patashu> But I mean, why fix it if it ain't broke? Except now it is
498) <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.
499) <Phantom_Hoover> I'm sacrificing the animals, then I'm going to bed.
500) <Phantom_Hoover> Yeah, Bashir, just sit there drinking, rather than diagnosing the carpenter mauled in that tragic bonobo accident.
501) <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
502) <oerjan> theorem prover yada yada halting problem.
503) <Vorpal> elliott, it is typical of you  <elliott> Vorpal: so are most things I say
504) <fungot> elliott_: it's a machine that looks like you!
505) <elliott_> now that we've cleared that up let us hug fungot =  <fungot> elliott_: let's not start that again."
506) <Phantom_Hoover> You mean it'd be Tau Zero but without the spaceship?
507) <Phantom_Hoover> OK, making myself emergency doctor on the advice of IRC.
508) <elliott> help me i am so alone :(  <monqy> new computer good enough to simulate real parents
509) <fungot> elliott: ppl should vote clinton because obama is biracial every1 knows that dood, look at him he has been on something lately.
510) <itidus20> indirect addressing is a facile and inebrious kind of instruction which should be whomped away by languages
511) <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.
512) <fizzie> Isn't "strip nomic" just another word for all dating, though?
513) <ais523> this strikes me as probably better than a singularity, because you can't trust a random AI, but you can probably trust olsner
514) <Phantom_Hoover> It is like the Holocaust but with Nazis.
515) <ais523> oh no, I think we've managed to mix three metaphors in a way that actually makes sense
516) <Patashu> dangit I need someone who knows the answers to my problems instantly and is always around for me!  <Patashu> I need.....an adult ;_;
517) <Phantom_Hoover> We have no leather.  <Phantom_Hoover> Time to use that most venerable of resources, the puppy.
518) <itidus20> according to physics and maths can we theoretically have a box with infinite cookies inside?
519) <Gregor> Phantom_Hoover: Sort of a monadic human centipede.
520) <elliott> When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a monad.
521) <monqy> one time I tried cpp programming ​  <monqy> it was hellish ​  <monqy> maybe I should try again
522) <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.
523) <oklopol> king is something women are better at than men
524) <Taneb> Just goes to show, the Beatles are more interesting than green vegetables.
525) <elliott> Vorpal: who needs cars when you can walk to latvia
526) [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".
527) <monqy> in the past few minutes I tried remembering what my dream last night was, but instead remembered I didn't sleep
528) <itidus20> what is nice about a pebble is that you can process it with your brain as a number by simply looking at it
529) <Taneb> I think this has taught us one thing. We can't teach itidus20 lambda calculus by comittee
530) <Sgeo> Can you build the ... why wouldn't you be able to, just and all the computables
531) <shachaf> elliott: GHC bug? Come on, it's the parentheses.  <shachaf> The more parentheses you add, the closer it is to LISP, and therefore the more dynamically-typed.
532) <Gregor> You know how the arrow pierces your skin, rearranging and randomizing vital internal structure?  <Gregor> Monads are like that, only worse.
533) <Taneb> Mayor says we need to make aluminum items  <Phantom_Hoover> Taneb, PH says you need to make lava items.
534) <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.
535) <elliott> Second Life is like... real life, modelled by people who've READ about real life, you know, in books.
536) <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.
537) <Gregor> Hulu's movie selection is like MST3K without the MST3K characters.
538) <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.
539) <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.
540) <myndzi> lol :(
541) <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."
542) <hagb4rd> jesus, yes.. he was human  <hagb4rd> and that is fantastic  <hagb4rd> more than beeing able to speak with fish.. like seaman does
543) <Phantom_Hoover> I mean, any organisation called the Scottish Defence League should be beating up English people, what other point would there be?
544) <ais523> if all my Facebook friends were to visit a page, it wouldn't make any difference at all
545) <Phantom_Hoover> OMG  <Phantom_Hoover> What if  <Phantom_Hoover> we shoot Hitler with neutrinos
546) <Phantom_Hoover> It's like Pygmalion and Galatea but more weeaboo.  <Phantom_Hoover> Also lesbian.
547) <monqy> did you know: gravity was inspired by apples
548) <ais523> isn't a neutrino detector just a large vat of washing-up liquid with a bit of machinery attached?
549) <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.
550) <fizzie> It's just electricity, how dangerous could it be?
551) <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.
552) <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
553) <Phantom_Hoover> Guys no don't fly a Jem Hadar ship into Cardassian space to shoot things I played that mission in FreeSpace and it never works.
554) <itidus20> my old 2d game is named either runch or turbo fight.... and its hard

556) <zzo38> The fighting game I prefer is the card game Yomi
557) <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.
558) <Ngevd> Dammit, Gregor, this is not the time to fall in love
559) <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
560) <oklopol> so you are doing for compilers what imperative programming did for functional programming
561) <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.)
562) <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.
563) <fizzie dictionary> An 'ad hobbitem' fallacy is when you try to undermine someone's credibility by referring to how hairy his/her feets are.

567) <fungot> Ngevd:. i'm so kind, even to assholes! anmaster no not markov anmaster no not markov anmaster no not markov anmaster no not markov anmaster no not markov
568) <Gregor> When my registrar is emailing me that codu.xxx is available, that's a problem.
569) <Phantom__Hoover> Also you steal Berwick from us and then say you don't want it?  <Ngevd> You stole it from us first!
570) <monqy> bad people have feelings too  <monqy> but they're bad  <monqy> so it's okay
571) <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.
572) <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) <Patashu> that's trippy. how does such a thing evolve? what biological niche is it filling? we need to film a mockumentary on this
574) <elliott> fizzie: It's like a JIT, if JITs were... strings.
575) (Of Minecraft:) <elliott> So basically I didn't understand what it was at all, I thought maybe you were meant to be like a worm and just sort of wriggle about underground.
576) <Phantom_Hoover> oh god oh god  <Phantom_Hoover> what if I become  <Phantom_Hoover> attracted  <Phantom_Hoover> to birds

579) <elliott> ais523: those suck  <elliott> hmm, those are all pretty good
580) <Phantom_Hoover> You know what annoys me about Deep Space 9.  <Phantom_Hoover> It wasn't in deep space.  <Phantom_Hoover> It was orbiting Bajor.
581) <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?
582) <Phantom_Hoover> I think the worst part of growing up is that it isn't retroactive.
583) <Phantom_Hoover> http://i.imgur.com/dosYw.png  <Phantom_Hoover> WELCOME TO FUCKING STEELROMANCED
584) <Pavitra> That was me being *nice*. I could have made the request by word of mouth to my My Little Pony toys and it would count.
585) <yrlnry> I personally use while ("Cogito, ergo sum") { ... } because since that is a priori true, it is true in all possible universes, and therefore ensures maximum portability.
586) <ais523> it's not a list of /all/ interesting esolangs, btw; otherwise you can take the first command from the first esolang, the second from the second, the third from the third, etc, then add 1 to all of them  <ais523> and you get a new interesting esolang  <ais523> diagonal principle…
587) <oklopol> i did applied fisheries research when i was little  <oklopol> got some results too but i ate them before i could publish them
588) <oklopol> that's crazy, it almost seems like you have to tell the program how you want it to manipulate the data and not just give it the relevant commands in a random sequence
589) <kmc> COCKS [...] <kmc> truly cocks
590) <monqy> where is this going. why is this going.
591) <Vorpal> anyway fungot is the only esolang irc bot I know of that doesn't depend on nethack or a similar helper
592) <fungot> fizzie: these kids today, with their long hair, dope, and silly abbreviations...) and how it works.
593) <Phantom_Hoover> I'd insult you behind your back, but I don't care which side of your back I insult you on.
594) <zzo38> I am just saying something that I think I once saw some idea somewhere, I forget, was it on television?
595) <zzo38> Can you file for univorce if you are unmarried and don't like yourself anymore?
596) <Ngevd> I'm neither Norwegian nor Finnish  <Ngevd> I don't fit in your quaint little categories
597) <ais523\unfoog> Vorpal: your ability to randomly make obvious comments in IRC as if they were profound is not a particularly useful one
598) <Phantom_Hoover> Life expectancy now is a function of whether you go berserk or not.
599) <Ngevd> Somehow I managed to read Haskell as Befunge
600) <ais523> Vorpal: I was paying too much attention to elliott and not enough to my HP
601) <oerjan> elliott: it occurs to me that `? welcome is atypical:  its information is actually true.
602) <Vorpal> oh my god  <Vorpal> that is one ugly solution  <elliott> beautiful
603) <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?
604) <Phantom__Hoover> (I'm not really sure what that explains but nor am I sure what I'm explaining, so it cancels out.)
605) <shachaf> VMS Mosaic?  <shachaf> I hope that's not Mosaic ported to VMS.  <shachaf> Hmm. It's Mosaic ported to VMS.
606) <fungot> elliott: young john soon afterward receives as a visitor a fnord spaniard, fnord de moncada, who has escaped from fnord fnord dissolved in the absolute.
607) <Phantom_Hoover> No you can't fight crime in Glasgow.  <Phantom_Hoover> It's like trying to get rid of the space-time continuum.
608) <Ngevd> It's like single player Hackiki in a way(?)  <tswett> Ngevd: yes, but with multiple players.
609) <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.
