"Master, I think there's a faggot around!" Then, a hamburger enveloped the world. 00:21:27 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, because when his ears slow their pace, you know it's for a reason. 00:22:28 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, the most reliable instrument he knows, beeped. Clearly his pacemaker was running too fast. 00:22:48 Warrigal: Please do conform that these are good. 00:23:01 confirm. 00:24:06 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, confused.

"Hey," his surgeon yelled, "I'm trying to reattach your ears here!

Incidentally, hen I excused someone for being a non-native speaker, you said "I'M non-native and I understood it!" 00:54:43 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, but wait, gentle reader, because this story really began long before, on a dark, stormy night... 00:54:58 ehird, but the one "David Slowed, his pace slightly as his ears" seems to be "David Slowed" as a name. 00:55:04 AnMaster: Yes. 00:55:09 And it's saying that his pace was as slightly as his ears. 00:55:19 ehird, made perfect sense 00:55:22 unlike the other one 00:55:26 ..... 00:55:29 Learn English, mmkay? 00:55:38 How about... 00:55:42 ehird, Learn Swedish and then we will talk 00:55:48 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, my god, why am I writing this junk, I repeat, his ears heard the dying cries of his family, seriously I shouldn't be writing novels, this is just a desperate attempt. 00:55:58 AnMaster: I'm not the one in a Swedish-speaking channel, asking what constructs mean every 5 seconds. 00:56:00 "David slowed his pace as slightly as his ears, ears, oh such wonderful ears, and he slowed his pace slightly." 00:56:11 lament, :D 00:57:06 ehird: Yeah, slightly is not an adjective :P 00:57:14 GregorR: Sure it is. 00:57:29 ehird, not every 5 seconds. Try to exaggerate less often. It doesn't fit you. 00:57:38 It's not an adjective just because you decree that it is :P 00:57:44 AnMaster: Funny, that; I don't give a shit. 00:57:48 'slight' is an adjective 00:57:57 GregorR: you're a poop. 00:58:06 Indeed, "slightly" is not an adjective. 00:58:33 then what is "slightly"? Adverb? 00:58:37 Yes. 00:58:38 Yes. 00:59:16 Yes. 00:59:29 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, tingling slightly due to the arrow through his head, went numb. 01:00:10 Can "ears" be construed as a verb? 01:00:28 eared.. eard... heard 01:00:34 The old ears the boat. 01:00:57 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, load as they were, went unheeded. "Ear, ear!", he tried again. 01:00:59 I'm thinking "old" cannot be used as a singular noun. 01:01:01 *loud 01:01:07 Warrigal: So "his ears" would be David earing the boat, instead of the old. 01:01:22 The synaesthetic ears the boat. 01:01:24 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, uh, what was it, oh yeah, the boat. 01:01:27 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, bottled in formaldehyde, caught his eye. "Oh," he thought, "to be alive again." 01:01:35 GregorR: win 01:01:35 There, "synaesthetic" is both a singular noun and an adjective. 01:02:19 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, on a boat, were on a boat. 01:02:34 GregorR: write something that puts everything said beginning with "David slowed his pace slightly as his ears," on a web site that lets people vote them up and down. 01:02:44 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, jealous as they were of his nautical-themed pashmina afghan, jumped off the boat. 01:02:56 Warrigal: I actually considered that, then decided it was too stupid :P 01:03:10 Aww. 01:03:34 This coming from a man that lets you vote on his hat. 01:04:05 GregorR should give me tacit endorsement for, I think, referencing the same thing as him. 01:04:55 pikhq, :D 01:05:48 GregorR, there is still an x for one hat? 01:06:31 AnMaster: Lost :( 01:06:40 GregorR, ouch, what one was it? 01:06:48 Glengarry 01:07:01 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, powerless to resist the inexorable pull of the black hole, disappeared beyond the event horizon with a brilliant flash of light. 01:07:02 It's just at home somewhere, probably not lost permanently. 01:07:08 I'm totally going to send GregorR a top hat with a hatband of color 7a9ec0. 01:07:08 lament: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahah 01:07:20 lyttle lytton + david's ears. 01:07:25 COMBINE THEM NOW. 01:07:30 Glengarry? 01:07:55 -!- inurinternet has quit (No route to host). 01:08:27 GregorR, comparing it seems to be http://codu.org/hats/HighlandsTravellingHat-med.jpg ? 01:08:28 ehird: the opening like "David slowed his pace slightly as his ears," reminded me of the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest the moment I saw it. 01:09:02 Let's submit the best of these to the BLFC, shall we? 01:09:09 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, washed away in the sea as they were, bobbed along. He was unaware of this event. 01:09:14 Warrigal: No, the lyttle one. 01:09:16 AnMaster: Yeah, suffice to say I didn't know the proper name at the time :P 01:09:18 http://adamcadre.ac/lyttle.html 01:09:23 GregorR, link on http://codu.org/pvcinstruments/ is broken 01:10:08 I like my most recent one :( 01:10:22 Either, I guess. 01:10:22 AnMaster: Bleh, stupid pages disappearing :( 01:10:29 Hold on, I'm actually making this stupid site :P 01:10:33 yay 01:10:54 * AnMaster enters http://codu.org in klinkstatus 01:11:20 Status of my klinks. 01:11:52 ehird, kno, kit kis kjust kkde kway kof kdoing kit 01:12:02 AnMaster: you're spidering all of GregorR's site? 01:12:05 that's kind of dicky. 01:12:13 ehird, no, just one step recursive 01:12:51 ehird: Google spiders my site all the time :P 01:12:54 ehird, so first one, and any external links from them 01:13:09 anyway klinkstatus locked up (#!" 01:13:13 ah wait no 01:13:43 GregorR, broken internal links at least 01:14:25 * AnMaster waits for it to finish 01:15:08 GregorR, something linked to http://codu.org/masterpiecemachine/lib/midi.php 01:15:13 which is "forbidden" 01:15:36 oh yes 01:15:38 sitemap 01:16:04 GregorR, http://codu.org/sitemap/ links to inaccessible files 01:16:10 also it says 01:16:13 "Warning: Missing argument 2 for getTitle(), called in /var/www/sitemap/gwsitemap.php on line 110 and defined in /var/www/sitemap/gwsitemap.php on line 180" 01:16:23 Yeah, I probably need to get rid of that. 01:16:45 GregorR, why? :( 01:16:52 It's useless. 01:17:04 GregorR, not at all, useful to find secret files 01:17:35 At the very least, I need a much better piece of software for it. 01:18:36 -!- Corun has quit. 01:19:29 I think I should just take bash.org's software :P 01:19:46 -!- inurinternet has joined. 01:20:13 GregorR, image links broken on http://codu.org/pvcinstruments/baritonetrombute.php 01:20:32 Whaaaaaaaa?

16:33:43 Shouldn't be >_> 16:33:45 it just jumps to the bottom of the page 16:33:49 very strange 16:34:03 Isn't. 16:34:08 GregorR-L, I'm using w3m btw. 16:34:16 It opens a popup. 16:34:19 So TOOO BAD 16:34:35 (I should probably use the bash.org style, but this was quicker and easier) 16:35:31 GregorR-L, did you import the ones from the channel? 16:35:39 Yes. 16:36:30 GregorR-L, why does it need to open a popup at all? 16:36:49 I didn't want to navigate away from the site as-is, and I reaaaaaaaaally didn't want to get into XHR sh** 16:37:12 XHR? 16:37:17 AKA "AJAX" 16:37:21 ah 16:37:30 GregorR-L, ajax would be even worse :P 16:37:47 Well, I didn't want to navigate away from the page every time you vote. 16:39:02 GregorR-L, so you prefer to open one new tab for each click? 16:39:19 because that is what it does when I use firefox 16:39:40 It's not "prefer", it's "have no other alternative" 16:40:06 (I should probably use the bash.org style, but this was quicker and easier) <-- you admitted there *was* an alternative above. 16:40:22 The "mirc style" is probably the "messages aligned at the start of nicknames", in contrast to "aligned so that last letters of the nicknames (or first letters of the messages) align up". 16:40:34 I refer to alternatives that I am not too lazy to implement. 16:40:35 GregorR-L, did http://codu.org/davidslowed/?id=31 ever work? 16:40:43 AnMaster: No 16:40:49 good 16:41:14 GregorR-L, how are they stored on the server? PostgreSQL? SQLite? Plain text file? 16:41:24 SQLite 16:41:28 ah 16:41:37 GregorR-L odd choice for server side 16:41:50 I have no SQL server running on codu. It's nice. 16:42:20 GregorR-L, yes, but iirc sqlite doesn't handle concurrent accesses too well? 16:42:37 or do you run it as a single fcgi process or similar? 16:42:54 SQLite3, as far as I know, has no such problems. 16:43:07 Although SQLite2 certainly did. 16:43:17 hm ok 16:44:36 I don't think it handles concurrency *that* well in sqlite3 either in the sense that there's quite a lot of locking going on, but certainly it handles it right in the sense that it won't break. 16:44:44 Well, yeah. 16:44:53 Whenever an insert is performed, the DB is locked. 16:45:05 So don't go inserting and then not closing your DB for ten minutes. 16:45:19 fizzie, that was what I meant yes 16:45:49 GregorR-L, um. couldn't you just insert then commit the transaction? 16:46:04 Yeah, that works too, but that involves typing "BEGIN TRANSACTION; ... COMMIT;" :P 16:46:06 clearly it only needs to be locked while the transaction is actually being commited 16:46:58 GregorR, doesn't sqlite3 default to implicit transaction around every SQL command if there isn't an explicit one, like that you typed 16:47:00 iirc 16:48:22 I /believe/ (this is beyond what I actually know for sure) that is considers your entire /connection/ to the database to be a transaction. 16:48:37 ah 16:48:43 Wait, that makes no sense, it can't roll that back :P 16:49:05 GregorR-L, that won't work, Since you can't do VACUUM in a transaction. yet you can do that during the connection 16:49:16 Eh, Idonno 16:49:30 The point is it works well enough for me, and all these concerns are silly. 16:50:05 "By default, SQLite version 3 operates in autocommit mode. In autocommit mode, all changes to the database are committed as soon as all operations associated with the current database connection complete." and then it continues with how BEGIN TRANSACTION makes it go out of autocommit mode. 16:50:38 sqlite> VACUUM; 16:50:38 sqlite> BEGIN TRANSACTION; VACUUM; COMMIT; 16:50:38 SQL error: cannot VACUUM from within a transaction 16:51:15 Cannot VACUUM a database this DIRTY. What have you been DOING here, herding CATTLE? 16:51:37 in case you don't know, VACUUM is that "reclaim space from DELETEs and similar" command. 16:51:38 SCRUB; 16:51:52 like OPTIMIZE in MySQL for example 16:51:56 or was it OPTIMISE 16:53:02 btw, check the sqlite files in your firefox profile directory, they can grow pretty large, VACUUM once / month or so tends to help. Both for file size and to make firefox slightly less sluggish 16:53:29 do not VACUUM them while firefox is running however 16:53:31 very important 16:54:27 for the urlclassifier one it can usually save between 5 and 20 MB 16:57:37 gregor@debian:~$ du -sh .mozilla/firefox/ 16:57:37 91M .mozilla/firefox/ 16:57:37 gregor@debian:~$ for i in `find .mozilla/firefox/ -name '*.sqlite'`; do echo 'VACUUM;' | sqlite3 $i; done 16:57:37 gregor@debian:~$ du -sh .mozilla/firefox/ 16:57:37 72M .mozilla/firefox/ 16:58:31 GregorR-L, why are you using stdin? 16:58:38 sqlite $i VACUUM would work 16:58:40 err 16:58:43 sqlite3 16:58:45 of course 16:58:45 Wasn't aware of that. 16:58:48 GregorR-L, ok :) 16:58:58 but yes it saved quite a bit. 16:59:53 GregorR-L, if you no longer use firefox 2.x then you can remove the urlclassifier2.sqlite, since firefox3 use urlclassifier3.sqlite only 17:00:13 there are probably quite a few other files left over from older firefox versions too 17:00:43 I use iceweasel X-P 17:00:56 GregorR-L, isn't that just firefox rebranded by debian? 17:01:26 Yes :P 17:01:33 GregorR-L, same basic thing then :P 17:02:08 Yes, but /mine/ ... breaks web sites that are too specific about their user agent checks. 17:03:30 GregorR-L, trivial to fake user agent 17:04:09 Yeah, but it's /just/ entertaining enough to find the sites that still perform user agent checks in 2009 that I don't want to. 17:04:15 if your website break if you don't know the user agent you are doing something wrong 17:04:25 GregorR-L, example of such websites? 17:05:12 error reason fail: 17:05:14 # update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime/ 17:05:14 update-mime-database: I don't have write permission on /usr/local/share/mime. 17:05:14 Try rerunning me as root. 17:05:23 # whoami 17:05:23 root 17:05:35 # ls -l /usr/local/share/mime/ 17:05:35 ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/mime/: No such file or directory 17:09:02 It's been quite a while since I've found one 17:09:07 argh...

No idea about ubuntu 17:13:34 I could've sworn that Apt was better than that. 17:14:09 I'm guessing it's different versions of a library that happens to be in the other repository I mentioned, based on some error messages I got yesterday. But I'll have to check it out... 17:14:19 GregorR-L: I use Conkeror, which is a browser running on XULrunner. 17:14:27 I, too, get to break user agent checks! 17:14:41 pikhq, then you haven't tried updating between two stable debian releases... 17:14:57 AnMaster: Actually, I did. 17:15:04 Nothing broke the last two times I did it, at least. 17:15:13 * Floor_Feline uses ChatZilla, which is an IRC client running on XULRunner! >_> 17:15:24 pikhq, did it try to uninstall apt, aptitude, glibc, the kernel and several other system critical packages for you too? 17:15:32 No. 17:15:36 was recently 17:15:46 the last time one went stable 17:15:49 A hint: dist-upgrade 17:16:02 pikhq, I followed debian's own upgrade guide 17:16:10 Oh, and technically I used aptitude, not apt-get... 17:16:15 pikhq, I tried both 17:16:19 both tried to do the same 17:16:28 You broke your system pretty well, then. 17:16:43 pikhq, was a clean install just 5 days before the next stable was released 17:16:48 anyway I ditched debian since then 17:16:55 ... Fail? 17:17:06 pikhq, yes debian i 17:17:07 is* 17:17:45 pikhq, I even tried asking for help on their irc channel. no one had any clue 17:19:07 So... Debian Fail. 17:19:11 <3 Gentoo. 17:19:51 <3 homoerotic symbols such as the one at the left of this line. 17:20:03 err? 17:20:19 GregorR-L: Heart, not microphallus. 17:20:22 "<3" ... heart? Or testicles? 17:21:07 pikhq: If "microphallus" came to mind first instead of testicles, I would consult a urologist. Because there's more wrong with that than the size. 17:21:25 Hahah. 17:21:39 GregorR-L, like the fact it is ascii 17:21:50 that's pretty wrong 17:22:05 X-D 17:26:30 what is this license http://pastebin.ca/1463601 ?

Is this homoerotic too? 17:29:13 That was a typo X-P 17:29:16 oh ok 17:29:17 Not everything I say is homoerotic. 17:29:20 did someone say homoerotic symbols? 17:29:29 hm.

Use your scrollback 17:29:34 8=I don't know what you're talking about=D 17:29:35 to see who 17:29:49 * Floor_Feline likes the current version >_> 17:29:54 AnMaster : I know 17:30:00 Floor_Feline: I see no appreciable difference. 17:30:00 It was rhetorical 17:30:07 Floor_Feline, more like "Daft rendering" 17:30:08 :P 17:30:14 well. that's how it is with logo redesigns 17:30:33 anyway. Firefox: the furry browser of choice 17:30:40 Floor_Feline, but seriously, I don't see the difference? 17:31:01 Floor_Feline, looks exactly the same to me 17:31:27 mostly the tail is more vibrant 17:31:37 and the fox's coloring is more, uh, realistic 17:31:48 via http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2009/05/final-firefox-35-update-a-new-logo/ 17:31:51 Not if it looks more like a fox :P 17:31:52 Floor_Feline, hm. Hard to compare to a 32x32 icon in my taskbar 17:31:58 Seeing as that the firefox is neither on fire nor a fox. 17:31:59 larger images 17:32:13 the only problem is that it doesn't look so good at a distance 17:32:21 looks like it has holes in its tail 17:32:39 personally I'd favor the current one; it's more simple.

It is a great protocol... but nothing uses it. 17:43:47 however the kernel module for it is loaded 17:44:21 GregorR-L, well I'm going to change to another DE/WM I think 17:44:33 probably awesomewm or xmonad 17:44:41 AnMaster: iwc :D 17:44:51 oerjan, read it hours ago 17:44:52 * oerjan swats AnMaster -----### 17:45:01 ? 17:45:15 because i knew you were going to say that, and it's NOT THE POINT 17:45:29 fuck xmonad 17:45:46 Ooooh, that's hot. 17:45:47 comex: in a referentially transparent way, i hope 17:45:52 comex must reaaaally like xmonad. 17:47:53 oerjan, from wikipedia "The animals most likely to drop from the sky in a rainfall are fish and frogs, with birds coming third." 17:47:54 err... 17:48:01 "birds coming third"? 17:48:19 .....................? 17:48:27 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raining_animals 17:48:28 i guess if it's _really_ heavy rainfall, they could be knocked out? :D 17:49:17 oerjan, what about "hagel"? Don't know English word. Somewhat like snow, but harder and as small balls of ice 17:49:30 a few mm across 17:49:57 hail 17:50:30 i vaguely recall reading about 10cm instances 17:50:52 not usually appreciated, those :D 17:51:32 We describe large hail in sports terms :P 17:51:36 "Golf-ball sized hail" 17:51:39 "Baseball sized hail" 17:52:14 (I don't know if that's "we" English speakers or "we" Americans) 17:55:23 baseball sized hail is probable "we" Texans 17:55:27 *ly 17:55:39 er wait 17:55:56 * oerjan was reading that as "basketball" 17:56:43 i vaguely recall reading about 10cm instances 17:56:54 well yes, I have seen hail over 1 cm across 17:57:02 not 10, more like 1.5 cm 17:58:29 isn't baseball like american cricket? I mean in terms of non-natives having no clue what the hell the game is about 17:58:51 odd and complex rules and such 18:00:15 Baseball is really quite simple. 18:00:30 Whereas Cricket is, to my knowledge, the single most complex widely-played sport in existence. 18:00:32 up to 15 cm, says wikipedia 18:02:38 "But now we see that even the oddest cases have a rational explanation, involving nothing more unusual than Martians. 18:02:48 indeed 18:04:16 " 18:04:24 oerjan, by father said he once saw 14 cm ones when he was about 17 years old. 18:04:49 was mentioned in the local paper (I have seen that old article about it) 18:05:03 (since I didn't believe him I went and checked in the archive at the library) 18:08:17 GregorR-L: 18:08:20 David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, confused. Why, he wondered, didI turn into my ears? 18:08:21 add a space plz 18:08:53 ehird: Sorry, fekked it up on paste >_> 18:09:15 GregorR-L: also you're missing my one where David Slowed is a name <_< 18:09:51 GregorR-L: also there should be an order by top/bottom, and a show all (instead of just "all random") 18:09:53 end complaints 18:09:54 :D 18:10:16 PAGE TOO STUPID TO FIX 18:10:29 your mom is stupid 18:10:55 07:55:01 "But on account of its obvious arbitrariness, it is probably without any real significance." 18:10:56 07:55:19 Fact : people where saying Iota was totally not awesome for almost a hundred years 18:10:59 yeah I can imagine that 18:11:01 iota is pretty lame 18:11:14 08:11:22 Apparently, with combinators S, K and Z, you can do it without parentheses. 18:11:14 08:13:05 "By means of C, Z, and S, therefore, every formula of logic can be written without parentheses as a simple sequence of these signs and can therefore be characterized completely by a number written to the base 3." 18:11:18 now combine them into one 18:11:26 and we'll have an unary language that isn't a gödel encoding 18:11:59 08:39:02 GregorR-L, so you prefer to open one new tab for each click? 18:11:59 08:39:19 because that is what it does when I use firefox 18:12:06 that's the worst way to browse the web i can possibly imagine 18:12:28 You've removed all context, that's not "browsing the web" :P 18:12:36 oh, I see 18:12:37 heh 18:12:38 I misread 18:12:40 08:42:54 SQLite3, as far as I know, has no such problems. 18:12:42 wrong 18:12:47 only one process/thread can write to an sqlite database at once 18:12:52 You've removed the entire future of that conversation. 18:12:54 end of, and it will always be this way 18:13:00 GregorR-L, exactly 18:13:06 AnMaster: it was an honest mistake, stfu 18:13:14 which is why it is best to ignore ehird while he is log reading 18:13:20 AnMaster: Agreed 18:17:05 09:09:30 ALSA mainly 18:17:07 use pulseaudio :p 18:17:18 ehird, you fail 18:17:31 ehird, pulseaudio uses alsa or oss for the actual output 18:17:36 everything else does 18:17:37 i'm well aware 18:17:50 ehird, I would suggest using jack instead 18:18:02 uhh, why 18:18:03 nobody uses jack 18:18:16 too much work 18:18:32 ALSA with dmix = stop using all these damn things on top of ALSA. 18:18:34 also, pulseaudio > jack :) 18:18:54 ehird, err, yes they do. For example, there are many apps that require jack to handle audio. For example rosegarden needs it to handle audio tracks (otherwise it can only handle midi tracks) 18:18:56 I know some stuff about audio in Linux, but the system is way too complicated to try to comprehend 18:19:09 I'll just leave it to the OS to hopefully not fuck things up beyond fixing 18:19:16 ehird, and pulseaudio doesn't try to keep the latency down to the same level as jack iirc 18:19:19 AnMaster: People use Rosegarden for non-MIDI tracks? 18:19:38 Floor_Feline: Let's put it this way: we *finally* get something that works, and then people try breaking it again. 18:19:42 GregorR-L, yes, and it also requires it for effects track 18:19:50 -!- coppro has joined. 18:19:51 that is, external synth software 18:19:56 ALSA and dmix? THAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH! NEED MOAR BREAKING! 18:19:57 like VST plugins 18:20:03 people? 18:20:10 um why dmix 18:20:13 pikhq: oh joy, you're one of the "ALSA is bunnies and unicorns that shit kitten rainbows" people 18:20:23 just get a good sound card with a proper hardware mixer 18:20:26 pikhq: i'm glad there are people less deluded so that i don't have to futz with that shit 18:20:34 AnMaster: Not commonly available. 18:20:44 ehird: It works. 18:20:52 pikhq, oh? I think you could find them on newegg at least 18:21:05 AnMaster: $0 vs >$0 18:21:11 both working fine 18:21:15 gee, I wonder which I'll pick 18:21:20 oooh, 's hard one that. 18:21:33 ehird, that assumes the mobo has onboard sound 18:21:38 but I guess most do nowdays 18:21:43 you can't buy a mobo without onboard sound afaik 18:21:57 ehird, however there are cases where you need the >$0 one 18:22:03 ehird: You probably can, but pay more for it :P 18:22:09 ehird, like if you are actually working professionally with sound. 18:22:20 oh and I have seen server mobos without sound on them 18:22:25 AnMaster: that's not strictly true, and certainly won't be in a few years. 18:22:32 ehird, which of the statements 18:22:40 18:21 AnMaster: ehird, however there are cases where you need the >$0 one 18:22 AnMaster: ehird, like if you are actually working professionally with sound. 18:23:02 you can work professionally with sound (but not all subfields, note) and not require a discreet soundcard. 18:23:08 and in a few years, i don't see soundcards being useful at all 18:23:18 AnMaster: you can buy motherboards with Creative X-Fi sound cards onboard btw. 18:23:26 ehird, that's interesting 18:23:41 AnMaster: creative x-fi drivers on linux suck btw :P 18:23:57 (none for years, then 64-bit only (!) binaries that suck, then 32-bit, now it's open sourced and still sucks) 18:24:17 ehird, right 18:24:43 I think the last Creative card with good Linux was the Soundblaster Live! 18:24:53 Linux support, rather. 18:24:54 the emu10k1 driver rocks though 18:24:58 pikhq, yeah 18:25:01 3DNow! and SoundBlaster Live! 18:25:02 I have such a card 18:25:04 hey anyone have an audigy? >:) 18:25:06 * pikhq <3s the emu10k 18:25:11 i had plenty of hilarious experiences trying to use an audigy on freebsd 18:25:19 i wonder when we'll see active sound card cooling 18:25:26 it's inevitable 18:25:29 # lspci | grep -i live 18:25:29 00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

It was considered a bug and was "fixed" by Mike Connor to read "Cookies are pieces of information stored by web pages on your computer. They are used to remember login information and other data". The revision was regarded as more likely to be helpful for the less technically oriented computer users who were now using Fi 18:33:55 refox—representing Mozilla's desire to appeal to mainstream users. 18:33:57 After this happened, the following remarks were made by Blake Ross over IRC to Mike Connor: 18:33:59 congratulations mconnor 18:33:59 ehird, is that screenshot phoenix or firefox? 18:34:01 you just destroyed a legend! 18:34:04 AnMaster: ff 18:34:05 there's an extension to bring it back 18:34:06 ah 18:34:10 ehird, which versiou 18:34:13 CESSMASTER: don't care 18:34:13 version* 18:34:17 AnMaster: anything before circa 2004 18:34:21 I see 18:34:23 CESSMASTER: it's unmaintained too 18:34:36 maybe there's a reason 18:34:38 ehird, I never used firefox between phoenix and firefox 1.0 18:34:42 used opera then 18:34:59 oh and konq 18:35:13 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/Phoenix0.1.PNG 18:35:16 lol @ those buttons :) 18:35:24 lol @ the odd toolbar organization 18:35:36 ehird, netscape 6 or something like that had those icons too iirc? 18:35:50 dunno 18:35:51 "Continuing pressure from the Firebird community forced another change, and on February 9, 2004 the project was renamed Mozilla Firefox (or Firefox for short)." 18:35:55 i guess i started using it a few months later 18:36:02 err 18:36:09 I don't think netscape ever looked like that 18:36:10 yes firebird I remember too 18:36:19 AnMaster: i was just getting a date 18:36:21 was it firebird -> phoenix -> firefox? 18:36:23 I know i used it post-firefox only 18:36:24 no 18:36:28 I don't remember 18:36:29 phoenix → firebird → firefox 18:36:31 ok 18:36:35 why that change then 18:36:35 phoenix is something or other, firebird is a database 18:36:47 ah 18:36:48 AnMaster: because mozilla.org couldn't google 18:36:50 Phoenix Technologies 18:36:56 so were therefore helpless to avoid trodding on other people's shit 18:37:04 ehird, ah, do you remember back before google 18:37:06 (30-year old company or something like that) 18:37:13 I remember back before search engines 18:37:18 AnMaster: no. because I was 1 year old. 18:37:21 when you used these "listings" 18:37:37 a year before google i was busy being born. 18:37:41 well, search engines did exist, but were pretty new 18:37:45 kinda, uh, takes up time 18:37:49 y'know? 18:37:52 Yahoo directory 18:37:52 I remember using AltaVista, Hotbot and Yahoo. 18:37:54 ehird, yeah it does.

Internet firewalling thing were asked "why is site X banned when it just has some links, but Google is not even though it also has as bad links" the response was that "well Google's a browser". 18:51:40 fizzie, *blink* 18:51:44 *Googlebot* may be, but... 18:52:13 google is certainly a browser. It browses websites. 18:52:16 pikhq, no that is a spider, not a browser 18:52:23 lament, spiders 18:52:26 is the technical term 18:52:27 wget is a browser!!1! 18:52:35 it browses?? browses!! 18:52:36 No, a spider is an animal with eight legs and an exoskeleton. 18:52:37 Idiots. 18:52:38 so its a browser. 18:52:43 coppro: A very crappy one. ^_^ 18:52:44 "It's not a website, it's a browser." then someone asks what's the difference, and the answer to *that* is something completely unrelated. 18:52:49 coppro, it doesn't "browse" 18:52:51 browses \o/ 18:52:51 | 18:52:51 /| 18:53:34 bear in mind that these are the same people who, if you said that IE was a browser, would go "The Internet's a browser!?" 18:53:35 who owns that bot /o/ 18:53:35 | 18:53:35 >\ 18:53:44 i'm guessing it's myndzi. 18:53:48 hm ok 18:53:52 is it a person 18:53:54 or a bot 18:53:58 myndzi is a person. 18:53:58 person 18:54:01 with a script 18:54:11 that has led to some humourous things going on in Agora 18:54:28 * GregorR-L myndzi's GregorR-L's myndzi myndzi. 18:54:28 * myndzi GregorR-L's myndzi's GregorR-L GregorR-L. 18:54:36 he should fix align. To not assume mirc style. I think mirc is rather uncommon in this channel 18:54:44 GregorR-L, what 18:54:55 Shows up right for me. 18:54:58 (irssi) 18:55:48 pikhq, not using aligning so nicks are right aligned so all text start at the same column? 18:55:56 Irssi's default style is "mirc-like" (what a term), though some people use alternative themes. 18:56:13 Sorry for this, to back up the above claim about mirc being uncommon here I'm forced to do this: 18:56:28 * AnMaster counts 18:56:41 irssi is by far most common here I see 18:56:43 The commonality of mirc is not really strictly speaking relevant; it's not like it's the only client which does it that way. 18:57:01 there are a few mirc but not many 18:57:07 5 to be exact 18:57:27 also SimonRC, why are you using an old irssi? And a release candidate at that 18:57:36 Wait, it's possible to right-align nicks in irssi? 18:57:41 Deewiant, no clue 18:57:49 oh another person using ERC :D 18:57:52 -upyr[emacs]- VERSION ERC Version 5.2 - an IRC client for emacs (http://emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ERC (mailing list: erc-discuss@gnu.org)) 18:57:53 :D 18:58:04 upyr[emacs], nice to meet you, whoever you are 18:58:23 Deewiant, yes it is iirc 18:58:24 Deewiant: Sure, though you'll have to set some sort of maximum length. 18:58:49 Any response from Gregor yet? 18:58:50 How is this magic possible 18:58:55 -!- kar8nga has joined. 18:59:03 AnMaster: You should make a bot with the VERSION stats 18:59:07 I've only ever seen X-chat do that. 18:59:18 Deewiant, some format string thingy in /set 18:59:20 iirc 18:59:26 pikhq, hm 18:59:31 -GregorR-L- VERSION xchat 2.8.6 Linux 2.6.26-2-686 [i686/2.40GHz] 18:59:34 Deewiant: Look at some theme from http://irssi.org/themes which does it. But the $-parameter expansion has a "use this width, right-align" syntax. 18:59:35 -GregorR- VERSION xchat 2.8.6 18:59:39 pikhq, why? 18:59:45 fizzie: I've looked, haven't seen any. :-) 18:59:55 Why does xchat report the fekking speed of my processor :P 19:00:03 Those thumbnails aren't too easy to search through anyway. 19:00:04 Deewiant: Well, I did one myself, but I think the computer it is on is currently offline. 19:00:44 Deewiant: http://irssi.org/themefiles/elf.png 19:00:47 I guess $* expands it? 19:00:52 GregorR-L, no idea 19:01:05 I.e. is the default parameter-expansion thingy 19:01:09 fizzie: Cool, cheers 19:01:33 Deewiant: Yes, you just need something in there for the width, and I think a - sign for right-alignation. Or something. My theme didn't really quite work right so I sort of abandoned it. 19:01:39 I find irssi a very poor irc client 19:01:45 unless you stay on freenode only 19:01:50 You know what would be ENDLESSLY HILARIOUS? If Google themed their site to look like hotbot on April 1. 19:01:55 GregorR-L: 32-bit lawl. 19:02:04 AnMaster: Latency. 19:02:05 pikhq: VMWare 19:02:11 That's a strange comment. I haven't had any problems with irssi and multiple networks. 19:02:21 GregorR-L: ... Yes. VMware works just fine on 64-bit. 19:02:30 it seriously messes up on irc servers with more prefixes than +%@ 19:02:41 like those having ~& too 19:02:41 AnMaster: Not in my experience. 19:02:48 pikhq, well in my experience it does. 19:02:55 pikhq: VMWare on OS X, which is garbage-o and 32-bit even on a 64-bit proc. 19:02:56 I know that Foonetic has those. 19:03:03 Works just fine. 19:03:09 GregorR-L: *Ouch*. 19:03:09 hm 19:03:14 Why, hotbot REALLY went downhill. 19:03:18 * GregorR-L is looking it up on archive.org 19:03:23 Gah, too esoteric. I'll have to look for docs or something some day. 19:03:29 -!- bsmntbombdood has joined. 19:03:32 vmware server on 32-bit windows can run 64-bit guests, if the cpu is 64-bit 19:03:37 More and more features crashed as nobody maintained it, until it was finally just an obscure error message. 19:03:38 I remember doing that 19:03:39 very odd 19:03:54 AnMaster: That's pretty spiffy. 19:04:10 pikhq, well useless to me. since I run 64-bit Linux as the host OS 19:04:21 Of course, VMware Server 2.0 is crappy. 19:04:22 http://www.google.com/trends?q=hotbot%2C+altavista 19:04:23 s/useless/pointless 19:04:27 pikhq, haven't tried it 19:04:30 nor am I going to 19:04:39 The management interface is AJAX. 19:04:44 pikhq, heard of it 19:04:50 The server for this is Java EE. 19:04:51 and that is basically useless to me 19:05:08 pikhq, what part runs the actual emulation? Not the java bit surely? 19:05:25 Some daemon. 19:05:38 mhm 19:05:42 The management interface is truly awful. 19:05:54 And has malloced 600M. 19:06:00 pikhq, the old one wasn't very good either. But not that bad 19:06:11 the old console was however usable 19:06:24 but not a very nice interface 19:06:29 If you count Firefox (only works in Firefox), it has malloced ALL THE MEMORY. 19:06:50 (without having a virtual machine) 19:06:53 pikhq, not even in IE? 19:06:58 that's nice 19:07:09 Might also work in IE. Doubt it, though. 19:07:20 why 19:07:38 Among other things, it has a Firefox extension to support displaying the VM's screen. 19:07:40 HP's printer drivers used to contain a complete copy of Apache Tomcat, just because some printer status dialog was implemented as a JSP "web page". 19:08:14 pikhq, wth 19:08:16 For comparison, VMware Server 1.0 had a GTK program. 19:08:24 -!- upyr[emacs] has quit (Remote closed the connection). 19:08:37 pikhq, I know.

(by nice, I mean "actually works") 19:09:11 Roughly the same as the 1.0 one. 19:09:20 pikhq, yes it actually works, as long as someone patches the kernel module for it every now and then 19:09:28 so far it has been possible to port it forward 19:09:41 Oh, the worst part about this AJAX Java *shit*? 19:09:52 I get to wait for it to *load*. 19:09:58 CONNECTED TO LOCALHOST. 19:10:25 heh 19:10:30 pikhq, why not switch to xen 19:10:42 assuming your CPU is new enough 19:10:47 or some other such tool 19:10:49 kvm or whatever 19:10:51 CPU's not new enough. 19:11:05 And this is for work. 19:11:55 pikhq: i read that as "CONNECTED TO HOLOCAUST" 19:12:06 its only one letter off, after jumbling D: 19:12:47 *sigh* 19:12:57 Loading.

"because the paint uses iron for pigmentation"" <-- perfectly valid? 19:25:43 AnMaster: But useless. 19:25:47 Valid, but not much of an answer. 19:25:47 pikhq, not really 19:25:58 the sky is blue because it is made of air, and air is blue in color. 19:26:23 The sky is blue because SHUT UP AND DRINK YOUR DAMNED TEA. 19:26:27 for example, very useful if you already know why iron often gives a red colour. 19:26:51 Unless you wish to know why red was chosen for the painting. 19:27:07 pikhq, oh of course that is another way to interpret the question 19:27:21 when people ask why the sky is blue, do they mean "why" in the sense of purpose or in the sense of a physical explanation? 19:27:45 lament, I always assume the latter. 19:27:53 Since the former is nonsense when it comes to the sky 19:28:03 AnMaster: BECAUSE GOD LIKES THE COLOR BLUE 19:28:05 for paint it might not be nonsense of course 19:28:08 AnMaster: Unless you're theistic. 19:28:12 AnMaster: but that makes no sense 19:28:22 AnMaster: why single out the sky? 19:29:10 AnMaster: a good answer would be "because all visible physical objects have a color, and blue is as good as any" 19:29:16 lament, in this case, because if you see a painted house or such someone probably decided what colour to give it. Unless they picked at random or such 19:29:30 lament, interesting one 19:29:35 or, "because if the sky was green, you would ask why is it green" 19:29:47 yes that is a nice touch 19:30:01 similar to the "so you had something to ask about" reply in other cases. 19:30:14 but not a very good answer 19:30:30 the physically explanation is usually what you want IME. 19:30:34 At least I usually do. 19:30:36 but there is no physical explanation. 19:31:22 "because certain electrons have certain transitions that correspond to a wavelength we perceive as blue" is not any different from "it's blue because it's blue" 19:31:26 The fact that iron gives a red colour in paint, yet pure iron isn't red (it is a grey metal afaik), is rather interesting. 19:31:45 iron can also be black, with enough carbon in it 19:32:45 There's a lot of metals that have different colors in compounds. 19:33:06 Copper, for example, is blue in compounds. 19:33:13 Chrome is green. 19:33:16 the reason for gold being yellow is absolutely insane 19:33:20 Yup. 19:33:21 Which is why I have to stay away from certain green fabrics :P 19:33:25 quantum tunneling effects or something 19:33:49 lament: Really? That's... Wow. 19:34:08 Gold reacts differently, depending on subtle relativistic effects that affect the orbitals around gold atoms. 19:34:14 *brain explodes* 19:34:19 (that was from The Oracle) 19:34:22 relativistic effects. 19:34:46 in atoms. 19:35:04 note, however 19:35:07 Hahah, "relativistic effects" links to the page "Relativistic quantum chemistry" 19:35:10 that the only reason this explanation is relevant 19:35:13 The very existence of that page makes my brain hurt. 19:35:16 is because the real question is not "why is gold yellow" 19:35:26 the real question is "why is gold yellow, unlike the other metals?" 19:35:30 pikhq, I'm well aware of the different colour in compounds thing 19:35:36 and also I think I remember the reason 19:35:36 but when people ask why the sky is blue 19:36:21 (that was from The Oracle) <-- why would you trust that 19:36:30 BECAUSE IT IS THE ORACLE 19:36:32 they really just mean why it is blue 19:36:39 GregorR-L, internet oracle? 19:36:45 are we talking about the same thing 19:36:48 so there's no need for a physical explanation, you can just tell them to go fuck themselves 19:36:48 Wikipedia 19:36:55 GregorR-L, not the internet oracle then? 19:36:58 that explains it 19:37:04 Wikipedia is THE ORACLE. 19:37:13 No further adjectives needed. 19:37:17 GregorR-L, this is: http://cgi.cs.indiana.edu/~oracle/index.cgi 19:37:18 you fail 19:37:28 I prefer bowing before Kibo. 19:38:16 Gold reacts differently, depending on subtle relativistic effects that affect the orbitals around gold atoms. <-- where is the quote from 19:38:23 url 19:38:23 Wikipedia 19:38:24 The Oracle. 19:38:29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Color_of_gold 19:38:53 GregorR-L, yeah, looked how many pages wikipedia has? It's like saying "oh it was from the library" when someone asks "what book"? 19:39:01 s/"?/?"/ 19:39:05 um 19:39:07 s/"\?/?"/ 19:39:07 even 19:39:24 It wouldn't have been that complicated to figure out that it was PROBABLY on the Wikipedia page "Gold" X_X 19:39:24 Yeesh 19:40:04 "Gold reacts differently, depending on subtle relativistic effects that affect the orbitals around gold atoms." // I know this is on Wikipedia, but I guess I'll just have to go to Special:Random a billion fucking times until I find it. 19:40:28 GregorR-L, oooh nice. BogoSearch 19:40:35 it is like bogosort, but for searching 19:40:48 you have bogosearch, binary search, and so on 19:41:12 quicksearch? 19:41:33 Deewiant, an alias for asking ehird on irc :D 19:41:43 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_algorithm 19:42:34 :o 19:42:44 -!- Floor_Feline has changed nick to Gracenotes. 19:43:14 THAT explains why nick completion worked so well today 19:43:31 Hahah. 19:43:42 I suggest you keep the nick "Floor_Feline". VERY nice nick. :P 19:43:42 X-P 19:44:09 L sorts after I too. So even better 19:44:28 Man, "Flexplay" and other disposable DVD formats. 19:44:47 Great for people willing to copy a DVD. 19:44:48 ;) 19:45:00 Crap for everyone else. 19:45:06 g, r, e. They're, like, right next to each other 19:45:17 pikhq, "disposable DVD"? Err what 19:45:39 Gracenotes, I usually type two chars before tab completing 19:45:44 no more, no less 19:45:46 it usually works 19:45:50 even in large channels 19:45:53 AnMaster: The plastic used in them slowly reacts with oxygen to make them unplayable after 48 hours. 19:45:59 delightful! 19:46:08 Sold at $5 a pop. 19:46:12 pikhq, how silly. And the shelf life would be very short 19:46:23 They're stored sealed. 19:46:23 oh and they would cost more than normal DVDs to manufacture I guess? 19:46:29 I switched to GKennethR on Sine for this reason. 19:46:33 But I won't switch here. 19:46:41 They're on sale today. 19:46:45 YE CAN NEVER TEK MAH FREEDOM 19:46:45 And yes, they cost more. 19:46:51 Silly, no? 19:46:55 pikhq, so what is the point if they cost more 19:47:06 Competing with rentals. 19:47:07 GregorR, is this a reference to Discworld? 19:47:08 AnMaster: They sell them for less because you have to rebuy them. 19:47:11 I REGRET THAT I HAVE BUT ONE NICK TO CHANGE 19:47:18 AnMaster: ............wtf. 19:47:26 GregorR-L, "Wee free men" you know. 19:47:26 And they've still got a ridiculous profit margin on the things. 19:48:29 I've never actually /seen/ them, but I'd heard of them. 19:48:30 GregorR, they showed up in four different books so far. Extremely important parts in three of them 19:48:32 But they're dirt cheap for anyone willing to, y'know, use a DVD burner. 19:48:33 so this is not trivia 19:48:36 And $5 is RIDICULOUSLY expensive for that. 19:48:42 Considering that RedBox is $1/night. 19:48:44 GregorR-L, "seen"? You mean "read about"? 19:48:47 True. 19:48:55 AnMaster: No, I mean seen. 19:48:56 I've seen them in stores. 19:49:05 GregorR, not talking about the same thing any more? 19:49:06 AnMaster: Oh, different convo :P 19:49:08 ah 19:49:09 I skipped out on those. 19:49:10 indeed 19:49:30 AnMaster: But no, that was a Braveheart reference. 19:49:30 GregorR, but was it such a reference or not? 19:49:34 * AnMaster googles 19:49:34 Since, well... New DVDs are $10. RedBox rentals are $1/night. 19:49:37 What's the point? 19:49:44 pikhq: $9? 19:49:58 I can either spend a bit more and get a full disc, or a bit less and copy it. 19:50:01 what is "redbox"? 19:50:08 pikhq: 9/10ths is not "a bit" 19:50:15 AnMaster: It's a DVD rental machine in the US. 19:50:28 "machine"? 19:50:30 err 19:50:35 Yes, machine. 19:50:38 It's a little vending-machine type thing. 19:50:38 Well, series of machines. 19:50:40 don't you mean rental store? 19:50:44 No, I mean machine. 19:50:58 How the hell would they be able to check who rented it and make sure they get them back from a machine 19:51:02 would be easy to fool 19:51:10 AnMaster: You have to use a card, and it charges you regardless. 19:51:15 hm 19:51:21 They have your credit card information, and if you keep the thing for 30 days, it's yours. 19:51:30 pikhq, interesting 19:51:44 There's one a block from my apt, so I use it now and then. 19:52:00 I've not used it, but I may soon as I get a DVD burner. 19:52:02 * AnMaster haven't watched video or dvd for over a year by now 19:52:12 or tv 19:52:26 well, except short youtube videos and such of course 19:52:29 but I mean, VHS video 19:52:37 pikhq: I rip to .mkv and then return several hours after I checked it out :P 19:52:44 I have no TV either, I do have an old VHS unit 19:52:48 (H.264 and vorbis) 19:52:50 somewhere 19:52:55 GregorR-L: I'd do that if I had a terabyte hard drive. 19:52:56 laaaaaaaaaaaaaaawl @ VHS 19:53:18 Though, really, I could just rip anyways; I've got free space. 19:53:21 Also. 19:53:22 GregorR, And a gramophone player. (Or do you call it something else in US? I forgot.) 19:53:29 (H.264 and AAC. :P) 19:53:35 I actually use the gramophone player sometimes 19:53:35 AnMaster: Gramophone or record. 19:53:38 just a few days ago 19:53:41 Record is more common. 19:53:44 played some music from the 70s 19:53:47 "Record" is a stupid word :P 19:53:57 Yes, yes it is. 19:54:05 Which is why we use it in America. 19:54:11 it's gramofon in Swedish 19:54:12 * pikhq nods 19:54:39 I prefer "phonograph" 19:55:02 (When words containing ph are imported from English to Swedish those "ph" turns into "f".) 19:55:15 though I guess gramophone is originally Latin 19:55:23 neo-latin that is 19:55:36 What with the invention of the gramophone machine in the year 15 :P 19:56:09 GregorR, ... the word sounds like it is based on Latin words 19:56:18 19:56:30 btw, telephone -> telefon in Swedish 19:56:48 ph in Swedish would be extremely strange. 19:57:35 AnMaster: You fail Latin; phone is Greek 19:57:52 Deewiant, I don't know either Greek or Latin, so quite possibly 19:58:44 Deewiant, the words imported from them are in some aspects rather similar. Hard to tell from which of those it comes 19:58:53 for me at least 19:59:14 Audio is Latin, phone is Greek. 20:00:13 Phonaudio 20:00:17 Audiophone 20:00:21 "tele"? 20:00:42 Remote-sound 20:00:46 yes I know 20:00:49 Greek 20:00:52 ah 20:00:55 boring 20:01:00 mixing would be better 20:01:03 Of course we all know, I just thought it would be amusing to say words like that. 20:01:17 "I'm answering the remote-sound, turn off the remote-sight" 20:01:33 tele-sight? teleview? 20:01:34 err 20:01:38 ah 20:01:39 TeleVISION 20:01:39 TV 20:01:41 right 20:01:49 and yes 20:01:57 it would be funnier to use native names for it 20:02:01 or telescope, which is all greek 20:02:08 it would be like Leonardo da Qurim 20:02:08 vision is Latin, FWIW. 20:02:28 "Because it submerges into the sea I call it going-under-the-water-safely-device" 20:02:33 (quote from memory) 20:03:08 -!- Corun_ has joined. 20:03:26 GregorR-L: "fjernsyn" is a norwegian word for television... 20:03:38 although everybody says tv these days 20:03:38 oerjan, yes you like translating iirc 20:03:40 Fee-ern sin? 20:03:45 like "kringkasting" iirc? 20:03:48 or is that Danish 20:03:50 for broadcasting 20:03:56 AnMaster: norwegian 20:03:58 * AnMaster wonders what broadcasting is in Swedish 20:04:07 i doubt "kring" is danish 20:04:07 You people and your multiple languages. 20:04:17 oerjan, oh? 20:04:22 why is that 20:04:26 it feels like nynorsk to me 20:04:29 It doesn't /taste/ danish. 20:04:40 oerjan, kring sounds like Swedish to me 20:04:41 :P 20:04:44 "omkring" 20:04:48 it _might_ be danish too 20:04:49 (around) 20:05:00 brödkasting 20:05:09 lament, kuddkrig 20:05:20 AnMaster: OMG RING 20:06:03 GregorR, Rather lame failed attempt at what might, in the right light, be considered a joke 20:06:32 -!- ais523 has joined. 20:06:32 needless to say, the right light was not present here. 20:06:39 huh wikipedia has neither swedish nor danish links for "broadcasting" 20:08:04 GregorR-L: also, more like fyernseen 20:08:39 vaguely 20:09:13 oerjan, is it like it would be in Swedish? 20:09:17 oh fine heres a better answer 20:09:23 augur, to what... 20:09:27 there are three kinds of ways things can get color 20:09:37 oh THAT 20:09:42 ais523: Help, help, English is being drowned in crazy continental languages! 20:09:42 AnMaster: probably pretty close 20:09:53 maybe with an ä for the first e 20:09:54 the first is by allowing only some light through then. color filters, for instance, absorb only some colors of light 20:09:59 oerjan, if so the English approx is rather weird 20:10:00 hi ais523 20:10:06 whats not absorbed is what color the filter appears to be 20:10:13 hi 20:10:35 the second is by reflection, where something absorbs some colors of light, while reflecting the rest 20:10:50 this is why surfaces have the color they do 20:11:08 and why semi-surfaces like air or steam or whatnot have the color they do 20:11:45 the third is emmission, whereby the atoms of the thing radiate light of a particular color without reflection or transparency 20:11:46 Finnish for "telephone" is "puhelin", which I guess is a bit like saying "talkie". ("puhe" is "talk", "speech"; but I'm not sure the "-lin" suffix in this particular case has a very definite meaning. Though literally speaking you could read it as a rather informal variation of the "to speak" verb in the first-person imperfect tense; so, "I spoke". Though that would be "puhuin" normally, "puhelin" sounds like you're sort-of chatting and not doing any serious t 20:11:46 alking.) 20:12:28 brbrbrbrb 20:12:30 augur, explain the physical properties resulting in iron giving red colour. 20:12:48 in bonds 20:13:04 -!- augur has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)). 20:13:19 -!- augur has joined. 20:13:31 fizzie, Finnish is so expressive... 20:13:33 details specific to irony, or in general? 20:13:44 augur, both 20:13:52 i dont know the details of iron. 20:13:57 but i can give you a general view of it 20:14:02 I don't remember details for "why bonds give different colour than non-bonds" 20:14:11 ohwell its not so much bonds, right 20:14:22 I do remember the electrons moving up to different energy level 20:14:26 it has to do with the electron shells 20:14:32 and then "falling" back down and such 20:14:40 right, thats absorption-reemission 20:14:45 augur, yes, but "why different in bonds" is the bit I *don't* remember 20:14:47 im not really sure that that plays a role in reflection tho 20:14:58 augur, oh? then what does 20:16:21 i dont know. it might be that. but im not entirely certain 20:16:47 well bonds occur precisely because they allow the molecule to have a smaller energy than the atom parts, so it is reasonable that some individual electrons would get shifted too 20:17:07 -!- Corun has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 20:17:39 oerjan, ah yes, now I remember 20:19:56 it is really interesting how some help texts in linux kernel config is so out of date 20:20:08 Pocket and portable adapters (NET_POCKET) 20:20:09 Cute little network (Ethernet) devices which attach to the parallel 20:20:09 port ("pocket adapters"), commonly used with laptops. 20:20:13 --- 20:20:14 err 20:20:25 laptops still have parallel ports? 20:20:26 commonly? 20:20:28 :D 20:21:39 Meh; things were so easy back at those periods of school when electrons had those well-defined places and anything. In the quantum physics course it was all Schrodinger equations, and we barely managed to actually find some solutions for hydrogen, since it has that "simple" radial equation; and even that involved Laguerre polynomials and whatnot. 20:23:19 And I mean, really, *hydrogen*. You can't get much more simple than that. 20:23:35 free elections. 20:23:36 :D 20:23:52 free the oppressed electrons! 20:24:03 oh wait 20:24:34 augur: how _dare_ you make such a misreadable comment 20:24:49 .. 20:24:52 i meant to write electrons 20:24:54 I also read it as electron first 20:25:06 scary... 20:25:09 unfortunately, im talking about the iran elections with someone at the same time 20:25:14 and the words are only one letter off 20:25:20 YAY LEXICAL PRIMING 20:25:36 free electrons in iron! 20:25:43 HAHAHA 20:25:45 <3 20:28:43 oh damn it, I just entered an rm command with a wildcard without thinking 20:28:52 how much did you lose? 20:29:02 I once lost my only Unlambda->Underlambda compiler like that 20:29:04 thankfully I didn't delete anything I needed... in fact, I ended up deleting just what I wanted 20:29:06 and still haven't recreated it 20:29:19 nowadays I set Emacs to save its backups in a different directory from the files themselves 20:29:22 to mitigate that sort of thing 20:29:52 but I could have accidentally pressed a space and I would have ended up deleting *srt and * :/ 20:29:58 thankfully didn't. whew. 20:30:44 I just reflexively hit enter. anyway..
