[11:43:13] <cmn32480> good grief... this palce has been a ghost town for most of the last 24 hours
[11:44:04] <boru> Goodness, talking tubleweeds!
[11:44:11] <boru> Tumbleweeds, rather.
[11:44:17] * boru kldload coffee.ko
[11:44:18] <cmn32480> seriously
[11:44:27] <cmn32480> mione is still brewing
[11:44:37] <cmn32480> and not anywhere near fast enough
[11:44:47] <boru> Aye, I've just picked this up from 8AM.
[11:44:49] <boru> It's about right.
[11:45:07] <boru> There should be eating as well as drinking in it.
[11:45:52] <cmn32480> heh
[12:00:35] * cmn32480 kicks unsuccessfully at the tumbleweeds
[12:29:17] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Heart Researcher Builds Cyborg - http://sylnt.us - fishing-for-advances
[12:36:46] <boru> Just make some inflammatory statements. That's sure to stir up some conversation.
[12:37:44] <boru> vi is way better than emacs. BSD is better than Linux. I think that NASA never landed on the moon.
[12:39:42] <cmn32480> there si always the whoup method
[12:39:53] <cmn32480> coffee++

[12:42:51] <boru> Useful. That should make things easier for the sniper.
[12:51:47] <cmn32480> yep
[12:59:27] <cmn32480> do it for coffee and you wake up the whole neighborhood
[13:00:30] <boru> Oh, I see what you meant -- a means to simultaneously alert people.
[13:42:07] <Runaway1956> Linux++

[14:01:23] <cmn32480> what's a daysoff Runaway1956?
[14:01:30] <cmn32480> I am unfamiliar with this term
[14:01:53] <Runaway1956> You slaves don't get days off, but I do.
[14:02:32] <cmn32480> which slavery are you referring to? editing for SN, or my day job?
[14:03:07] <Runaway1956> All of the above, as well as slaving away for the wife and kids
[14:03:16] <cmn32480> oh yeah.. I forgot about that one
[14:03:25] * cmn32480 cries jsut a little
[14:04:08] * Runaway1956 ate all the leftover spaghetti and three slices of toast with herbs and spices - now he's ready for something good to eat
[14:04:52] <cmn32480> you need italian sausage or somethign to set all that mess right
[14:06:13] * Runaway1956 checks cmn32480 refigerator
[14:06:26] <cmn32480> in the freezer downstairs
[14:06:26] <Runaway1956> There's no italian sausage in here, man.
[14:06:41] <cmn32480> but I have a half italian sausage in my pants...
[14:07:10] <Runaway1956> Hah! Trying to lure me into the basement? So you can hit me over the head, steal my brains, and cook them for me to eat?
[14:07:24] <Runaway1956> I saw that movie already!
[14:07:48] <cmn32480> it was your liver (what's left of it), with a nice chianti
[14:09:26] <cmn32480> actually.. I just want you to eat my sausage
[14:09:38] <cmn32480> and if you don't like the italian half... the other side is Cuban...
[14:09:40] <Runaway1956> You deviant - that's out of the question
[14:09:42] <cmn32480> so it is like a Chorizo
[14:10:01] <Runaway1956> So, you're actually Mexican . . .
[14:10:37] <cmn32480> Cuban
[14:11:06] <Runaway1956> But, you just said half Italian, half Cuban, equals chorizo
[14:11:52] <cmn32480> no... I said the OTHER HALF is like a chorizo
[14:12:04] <cmn32480> so we got a half italian sausage... and a half a chorizo
[14:12:15] <cmn32480> if I was part German.. I'd ahve a bratwirst
[14:12:41] <Runaway1956> Fek it, I'll just drive to Hot Springs and get some good Bavarian cooking.
[14:13:05] <cmn32480> we actually ahve a german butcher down the street from where I work...
[14:13:12] <Runaway1956> Junocam . . . .
[14:13:45] <Runaway1956> German butcher?
[14:14:07] <Runaway1956> Germans can't cook without gallons and gallons of vinegar.
[14:14:09] <cmn32480> yup
[14:14:19] <cmn32480> makes all kind of fresh sausage and such
[14:15:22] <Runaway1956> Homeworld, remastered - have you played it?
[14:15:55] <Runaway1956> I think they did a good job on that one, I plan on buying it, maybe next week.
[14:16:19] <cmn32480> have not.
[14:16:31] <cmn32480> I ahve't been home enough to paly the stuff I got.. much less new stuff
[14:16:58] <Runaway1956> Did ya play the old Homeworld? The new one really isn't any "different", but the graphics are awesome
[14:17:05] -!- sedctl [sedctl!~sedctl@0::1] has joined #Soylent
[14:17:30] <Runaway1956> The kid says there are more control key commands and stuff, but I can't remember all that stuff anyway
[14:19:18] <cmn32480> which button shoots the gun?
[14:19:22] <cmn32480> that's the only one I care about
[14:20:08] -!- dogpipe [dogpipe!~confirms@0::1] has joined #Soylent
[14:20:44] <Runaway1956> You're commanding a fleet - you don't shoot individual guns. Make a group out of a destroyer, a couple missile corvettes, and a couple wings of fighters or bombers, and send them to kick ass.
[14:21:11] <cmn32480> ahhhhh
[14:21:18] <cmn32480> kinda like the old Age of Empires
[14:21:23] <cmn32480> but in space
[14:21:30] <Runaway1956> Sorta, but it's SPACE!
[14:21:46] <Runaway1956> Space is high tech.
[14:21:55] <chromas> so it's like starcraft then :D
[14:22:43] <Runaway1956> Starcraft is more - uhhhhmmm - oh, I dunno - "mechanical" maybe? Homeworld has a great story line that appeals to me.
[14:23:43] * cmn32480 will go take a look around for it
[14:24:40] <cmn32480> whoop..l. steam is blocked at the office...
[14:24:52] <cmn32480> #smake cmn32480
[14:24:52] * MrPlow smakes cmn32480 upside the head with a liter'a cola
[14:25:00] <Runaway1956> New motherboard should be here today, for the wife's machine. I'm thinking I messed up with my diagnosis. It's probably the CPU that's messing up
[14:25:09] <chromas> quick, install a proxy on exec's box
[14:25:09] <cmn32480> who is the dumbass network admin who did that...
[14:25:31] * cmn32480 looks in the mirror
[14:25:58] <Runaway1956> Better yet, install an exec on a proxy box
[14:26:14] * chromas gives cmn32480 a sparkly glove and a kid
[14:26:45] * cmn32480 keeps the sparkly glove and returns the kid
[14:27:09] <cmn32480> i wanted a red leather jacket with lots of zippers
[14:27:20] <Runaway1956> Fekkin machine where I work has some malware bullshit on it - Frugal something or other
[14:27:35] <Runaway1956> It wants to redirect everything through some ad server
[14:28:01] <boru> Sounds like a google product.
[14:28:02] <Runaway1956> I'm not even TELLING the stupid SOB's about it, they'll want to blame it on me.
[14:28:05] <chromas> sounds like you could have some fun with it
[14:28:36] <Runaway1956> Some idiot clicked "yes" on something they shouldn't have - that's what Windows users do.
[14:28:57] <chromas> DDoSing Malware Servers: A Quick Guide to lolz
[14:29:20] <Runaway1956> What REALLY SUCKS is, we use shared accounts. So, whatever shite some idiot clicks on, affects me directly.
[14:29:26] <chromas> I thought business boxes were supposed to be locked down
[14:30:04] <Runaway1956> Uhhhmmmm, our IT guys didn't get their jobs for their competence
[14:30:26] <Runaway1956> I think they were hired because HR thinks they are sexy.
[14:31:25] <chromas> This company's computers were locked down too much
[14:31:30] <chromas> This company's computers were locked down too little
[14:31:59] <cmn32480> and Goldilocks locked them down juuuuust right
[14:32:23] <Runaway1956> Oh, no, Goldilocks hacked them juuuuuuust right!
[14:33:07] <chromas> probably why HR thinks they're sexy
[14:33:13] <chromas> three bears
[14:33:22] <chromas> HR's a twink
[14:34:20] <Runaway1956> HR has eaten tons of twinkies, but she's no twink. No one weighing upwards of 300 pounds can be thought of as a twink.
[14:34:44] <cmn32480> ~define twink
[14:34:46] <exec> [urbandictionary] 03twink: An attractive, boyish-looking, young gay man. The stereotypical twink is 18-22, slender with little or no body hair, often blonde, dresses in club wear even at 10:00 AM, and is not particularly intell...
[14:35:11] <chromas> You need an Al Bundy
[14:35:15] <cmn32480> uh huh...
[14:35:18] <cmn32480> I see
[14:35:40] <Runaway1956> Al Bundy would find some fun work around here.
[14:35:47] <cmn32480> printers are the bane of my existence
[14:36:01] <cmn32480> No Ma'am!
[14:36:14] <Runaway1956> Of course, we have our wannabe Al Bundies - double homicide up the road over the weekend - turns out the wife worked with one of the victims
[14:36:45] <cmn32480> woof
[14:36:50] <cmn32480> that sucks
[14:37:17] <Runaway1956> Sick fucker apparently shot his mother and stepfather, drabbed them out into a field, and tried to burn the evidence.
[14:37:36] <Runaway1956> cops showed up to investigate the fire, totally unaware that it was a homicide
[14:37:54] <cmn32480> geesh.. what si this world coming to...
[14:38:44] <Runaway1956> So - is Ginsberg gonna resign, now that Trump told her to?
[14:38:56] <cmn32480> not liekly
[14:39:03] <cmn32480> depends on her health
[14:39:17] <cmn32480> she's what? 800 years old?
[14:39:30] <Runaway1956> But, but, but, don't the justices take their marching orders from the White House?
[14:39:54] <cmn32480> yes, but only the ones who agree with the current administration
[14:40:04] <Runaway1956> Oh, sorry, before Trump can give marching orders from the white house, he's got to get in the white house
[14:40:06] <cmn32480> and there are a few independaent thinkers
[14:43:29] <Runaway1956> If I weren't so damned lazy, I would cook something. Instead, I grab some frozen taquitas and nuke them.

[14:51:33] <Runaway1956> Katy did.
[14:51:41] <Runaway1956> Angela won't.
[14:53:49] * cmn32480 thinks about taking a nap at work
[14:54:08] <Runaway1956> Don't go in the boiler room.
[14:54:54] <cmn32480> I'd jsut close my office door
[14:55:04] <cmn32480> though the snoring might give it away
[14:55:15] <Runaway1956> OK, I don't think the python can get under your door
[14:56:07] <cmn32480> there are no mother f**kin' snakes in this motherf**kin' office
[14:56:13] <chromas> build a shelf under the desk for an alarm clock
[14:56:46] <Runaway1956> No, I think the python is in the boiler room, but I'm afraid to go down there by myself to check.
[14:57:11] <chromas> Just use inconsistent spacing and you'll be alright
[14:57:17] <Runaway1956> There aren't any heat ducts in your office, are there?

[15:06:16] <chromas> Like when you mark your comments wrong :)
[15:06:25] <Runaway1956> That's good, I think.
[15:06:40] <Runaway1956> I was once a perfect asshole - now I'm just an aging asshole

[15:09:32] <cmn32480> it's continaually buying the water as you drink it that gets expensive
[15:09:36] <cmn32480> kinda like inkjet printers
[15:09:52] <Runaway1956> Among other rumors, that's to be the last FX chip
[15:10:08] <Runaway1956> I have no idea how true that rumor may or may not be

[21:30:53] <cmn32480> time for this kid to go home

[21:32:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrmf, it appears irssi isn't up to date with ssl goodness

[21:39:09] <FatPhil> we're having enough problems with ssl libraries on Timo's current project (ah god, don't ask, yes, crack monkeys were involved) to worry about projects he dropped a decade ago
[21:40:10] <mechanicjay> Yeah, that fucking guy.
[21:40:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> soylent block should read something like this:
[21:40:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> {
[21:40:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> address = "irc.soylentnews.org";
[21:40:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> chatnet = "soylent";

[21:40:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> }
[21:40:59] <chromas> The other ports also work for SSL, which is weird
[21:41:04] <chromas> like 7000 and stuf
[21:41:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[21:41:23] <chromas> kinda odd that only 6667 doesn't
[21:41:24] <FatPhil> ug, somehow I have several versions of that file, need to work out which is the one I want...
[21:41:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> some nonstandard ones to avoid firewalls
[21:42:06] <FatPhil> fux, all versions are old, still having "< xmppnet = { type = "XMPP"; nick = "pcarmody@ok.research.nokia.com"; };
[21:42:21] <FatPhil> that's not been true for 3 years
[21:42:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh
[21:42:46] <FatPhil> I just copied my config files over, and never update them

[21:44:10] <FatPhil> sirc was what I used to use at home
[21:44:19] <FatPhil> had some cool perl scripts for that
[21:44:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's $current_year ffs, stop ircing from the console!
[21:44:50] <chromas> don't
[21:44:53] <chromas> STOP TRIGGER ME
[21:44:56] <chromas> ING
[21:45:07] <FatPhil> you're gonna ask me to pick up a mouse soon, I'm guessing?
[21:45:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> the wonderful thing about triggers is triggers are wonderful things
[21:45:16] <FatPhil> +!
[21:45:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, those are just a fad
[21:45:24] <FatPhil> or even +1
[21:45:41] <chromas> We need an fps where all the bad guys are guns
[21:45:51] <chromas> so we can shoot up all the baf guns with more guns
[21:46:03] <FatPhil> my window manage is dwm, for reference, and even I think version 6 has *too many features*
[21:46:25] <chromas> window management is for suckers
[21:47:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> i rarely use the mouse for hexchat unless i need to copy some text out

[22:00:31] <FatPhil> There, I said it.
[22:00:42] <takyon_> my first reaction was "whoa"
[22:00:58] <takyon_> then I realized there have probably been a million of those stage productions
[22:01:25] <FatPhil> sure, this was a uni thing
[22:01:45] <takyon_> and you're comparing it to a broadway production?

[22:07:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> matt n trey are awesome because they don't try to be especially clever or subtle. adams was awesome cause he could bend phrases almost but not quite entirely to his will.
[22:09:44] <FatPhil> my favourite adams stuff is stuff that isn't 100% adams, he needed a moderating influence
[22:10:17] <FatPhil> M&T are in no way subtle, and moderating influences would be bad
[22:11:39] <FatPhil> They had a broader canvas to paint on, the levees were broken, adams was restrited by the 70s UK environment.
