[22:59:01] <Ethanol-fueled> I must go good night, gentlement.
[22:54:33] <Ethanol-fueled> You will become a <i>pinche cerdo</i>
[22:53:18] <Ethanol-fueled> Should you make the mistake of tie-ing with a Mexican woman, you will gain at least 20 pounds overnight.
[22:51:14] <Ethanol-fueled> It's easy to have a love-hate relationship with Mexican women -- they're temperamental, bipolar, with eating disorders, and insane in a very calculated manner...but that cooking! And that cleaning!
[22:50:03] <Ethanol-fueled> Or have whole fish made my a Mexican woman. The reason why I said that was because a lot of other people and places know how to make whole fish...but only a Mexican woman will broil it in butter.
[22:49:04] <Ethanol-fueled> You ever go to a sushi place so fine that they bring the live creature out of the tank, carve it up for you, and let you eat it while that creature watches?
[22:48:11] <Ethanol-fueled> But man, as much as that person was an asshole, they were right.
[22:44:44] <Ethanol-fueled> a comment title of "Fuck You" does not endear a person to anybody else, especially when there is a discussion-troll who repeatedly references the most offensive portions of the post when making other posts.
[22:43:08] <takyon> brutal rape was the result
[22:42:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Yup, and he got it.
[22:42:50] <takyon> he was commenting provactively
[22:42:44] <takyon> he was "asking for it"
[22:40:21] <Ethanol-fueled> If that fella weren't such a coward I would have posted myself asking that person to create a login. But I was busy drinking at the beach from 7am to 1pm Pacific time.

[22:33:29] <Ethanol-fueled> But then there was the crap....Reagan-era crap...that made me hate and fear TV even in single-digit age.
[22:33:05] <Ethanol-fueled> There were some things on TV I liked as a kid...Mr. Ed, Get Smart, Looney Tunes.
[22:32:26] <Ethanol-fueled> urges^
[22:32:19] <Ethanol-fueled> When society tells women that they should not crave dick, and that any man primally agressive is evil, and a rapist, and that rape is bad, then the SJW suffers cognitive disonnance instead of giving in to healthy urgers.
[22:31:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Gays are gays. But when society tells them that they should be something they're not, it results in problems.
[22:30:42] * JamesNZ casts around for the bots
[22:30:32] <Ethanol-fueled> The problem is, to use an example, the problem of the gays.

[22:21:22] <paulej72> This campus seemed to me to be relitively race issue free until students jumped on the SJW bandwagon to protest precieved reacism
[22:21:03] <takyon> one sec
[22:19:29] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm not racist either.
[22:18:47] <paulej72> I am not racist, but I hate that poeple are being racist when they claim that they are just potesting racism

[22:17:24] <nick> people should be free to show themselves for the idiots they are
[22:17:13] <Ethanol-fueled> I have a feeling that the university, like many in the US now, is receiving a lot of Chink money.
[22:16:56] <Ethanol-fueled> I was the only person to say, professionally and eloquently, that political correctness is not only bullshit but oppressive - and that those who utilize it are being every bit as oppressive as the forces they claim to be fightin against.
[22:15:58] <Ethanol-fueled> furthermore, I called out the bullshit in our mandatory "white privilige class"
[22:15:16] * Ethanol-fueled faps to this picture: https://pbs.twimg.com
[22:14:28] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm a shit student, but at least I admit it and don't blame it on "oppression" or "rape culture" or some shit.
[22:13:57] <Ethanol-fueled> Pauley, I read an article about an ivy-league student (Black of course) who blamed her slow progress on being triggered by learning about too many white civilizations or something like that.
[22:12:53] <Ethanol-fueled> junior college, but still.
[22:12:36] <Ethanol-fueled> I've known immigrant students who survived 19-unit loads back when that was allowed.
[22:11:57] <paulej72> they whine that their work load is too high and they take 1 less class per sememster than most normal college students
[22:11:37] <Ethanol-fueled> and I thought my university was liberal...fuck....what you are experiencing is madness!
[22:11:16] <paulej72> these kids think they are entitled to everything.
[22:11:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Ban words to narrow the range of thought.
[22:10:59] <Ethanol-fueled> Disappear it all down the memory hole.
[22:10:48] <Ethanol-fueled> correct.
[22:10:06] <paulej72> Their was no Natzi party in Germany either
[22:09:34] <takyon> report for scrubbing
[22:09:17] <takyon> all your memories of him are obsolete
[22:09:10] <takyon> there was never a President Woodrow Wilson
[22:09:03] <takyon> let's be honest here
[22:08:37] <paulej72> Hell if I know.
[22:08:32] <takyon> he is definitely a big deal wrt international affairs
[22:08:19] <Ethanol-fueled> holy shit pauley, how are they just gonna gut all that out of Princeton?
[22:07:57] <paulej72> Woody was the Dean of the Grad School, then President of Princeton, then Governer of NJ then Prisident of the US. A giant department is named after him. WW School for Public Polican and Internationa Affairs
[22:07:56] <Ethanol-fueled> (not on school grounds though)
[22:07:46] <Ethanol-fueled> a fucking 8TH GRADER was shot and killed when I attended.
[22:07:43] <takyon> The Mike Brown Middle School. The new mascot will be rainbows
[22:07:32] <Ethanol-fueled> It had such a bad gang problem that they implemented uniforms...
[22:07:20] <takyon> your school will be renamed...
[22:07:20] <Ethanol-fueled> might as well be the Wilson Weenies.
[22:07:00] <takyon> the school formerly known as Woodrow Wilson Junior High School
[22:06:49] <Ethanol-fueled> The wilson warriors...with a native american chief as their mascot.

[22:05:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Pauley, isn't Princeton your turf? Are they embracing insanity like all the other universities?

[22:03:55] <paulej72> Shithead studensts at Princeton were complaining that they don't like that Wodrow Wilison is a preoment firugre in the Univerisy's history since he was a racist that broght segregation to the Federal goverment. They want hsi name stripped from buildings and other shit. At the same time the Afircan American students want their own metting place so they can self segregate. seems ver hipocritical
[22:02:30] <nick> heh
[22:02:10] <takyon> encouraging death on black friday is practically supporting sustainable living
[22:01:51] <takyon> that's not even trolling
[22:01:48] <nick> thanks for exporting that bit of american culture to the uk in recent years
[22:01:40] <Ethanol-fueled> pauley, they call it "Black Friday" because of the people waiting in the lines and starting all the fights.
[22:01:12] <Ethanol-fueled> etc, etc.

[22:00:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Motherfuckers ditching their families thanksgiving night to wait for hours in a Wal-Mart line.
[22:00:38] <paulej72> I want my White Friday deals
[22:00:17] <Ethanol-fueled> no, takyon....come on, you know me better than that. I was going to encourage stampedes and mass-violence associated with Black Friday.
[21:59:34] <takyon> on the ChromeOS thing, it looks like they will try to merge it with Android... but years down the road, and considering how disposable of an OS it is (cloud storage/web app model) you can just throw Linux on it when it's time for it to die. So there is no downside to the death of ChromeOS even if it does happen.
[21:57:32] <takyon> were you going to post anti-consumerist whining, EF?
[21:57:08] <takyon> dat's rumor
[21:57:05] <takyon> not true
[21:57:00] <paulej72> and chrome os is EOL
[21:56:55] <takyon> yeah but there was so much other bait today, ethanol-fueled
[21:56:38] <paulej72> noone wants a hsitty cleron
[21:56:36] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, I felt an overwhelming urge to troll that journal.
[21:56:08] <takyon> I was looking at the $99 Chromebook but I'm not sure I want a shitty Celeron even at that price
[21:55:45] <takyon> posting black friday stuff in it
[21:55:39] <takyon> check out my journal
[21:54:29] <paulej72> one thing is nice running XP on a quad core processor with 4GB of ram is really fast
[21:54:20] <Ethanol-fueled> And having to write a resume with a heavy buzz...goddammit.

[21:51:58] <takyon> hi
[21:51:55] <paulej72> 171 for XPsp3
[21:51:52] <Ethanol-fueled> so what's with the XP? legacy software?
[21:51:41] <Ethanol-fueled> True, pauley...true.
[21:51:29] <paulej72> what is amazing is that a fresh install of XP sp3 and Win 7 sp1 need about the same amount of updates to be fully patched
[21:51:23] <Ethanol-fueled> I was just fine drinking at the beach until I got called for that damn job opportunity.
[21:51:03] <Ethanol-fueled> I'd rather be drinking.
[21:51:01] <cmn32480> well.. XP SP3 that I had slipstream a shitton of updates into
[21:50:59] <Ethanol-fueled> Man, I hate writing resumes drunk.
[21:50:39] <cmn32480> I got a disk for that someplace....
[21:50:24] <paulej72> fun part is getting a fresh install of XP sp3 updated so that windows update works
[21:50:20] <cmn32480> fair 'nuff
[21:49:55] <paulej72> less shit to go wrong. I don;t have to keep two OSs on the machine running
[21:49:41] <cmn32480> so you are scouting for a newish PC that will run XP?
[21:49:23] <cmn32480> I do it with my SAS card for my tape drive at work
[21:49:20] <paulej72> but I really would rather run it on bear metal thn VM
[21:49:10] <cmn32480> you can set the card to passthrough to the VM and the native OS will never see it
[21:49:01] <Ethanol-fueled> just different syntax
[21:48:44] <paulej72> no SCSI interface
[21:48:44] <Ethanol-fueled> all computer algebra systems are the same, right?
[21:48:34] <cmn32480> hardware card?
[21:48:32] <paulej72> yes
[21:48:21] <Ethanol-fueled> guys, if I'm applying for a job that requires MATLAB, and I don't know MATLAB but I do know Maple, am I lying if I said I knew MATLAB?

[21:27:18] <crutchy> though if the ancients could do it, it must be possible
[21:26:47] <crutchy> prolly would still need deep foundations too
[21:26:40] <SirFinkus> I think drainage would be an issue
[21:25:58] <crutchy> 'thankyou sir. please slide down to seat 44A'
[21:25:32] <crutchy> hah. might make for awesome way to get to your seat :p
[21:24:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> still need the concrete. otherwise it's a mud pit in the rain.
[21:24:41] <crutchy> not sure there would be much of a saving by building up top, mass-wise
[21:24:20] <crutchy> if you took the mass of steel and concrete in modern stadiums it would be interesting to compare to what might be required for an in-ground stadium
[21:23:33] <crutchy> though digging holes is easy. yeah drainage could be an issue (unless you build on a hill)
[21:23:12] <crutchy> maybe
[21:23:11] <nick> flooding and drainage could be a concern maybe?
[21:22:55] <nick> the size of modern stadiums also, what you're digging into that deep

[17:01:50] <chromas> except with servers, where using it binds your socket to all interfaces
[17:01:10] <chromas> yeah it seems like 0.0.0.0 is kind of a black hole
[17:00:39] <Bytram> so, from what I have gleaned, so far, 127.0.0.1 is a *specific* IP loopback address; in certain cases 0.0.0.0 functions similarly, but is, in reality, a different entity in practice.

[16:57:50] <Bytram> but no addresses within this block should ever appear on any network
[16:57:50] <Bytram> This is ordinarily implemented using only 127.0.0.1/32 for loopback,

[16:53:28] <chromas> and if so, does that mean I could run everything on the same port, just with 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, et cetera?

[16:51:23] <Bytram> curiouser and curiouser... ping 0xEF000000 comes back with the same thing! Pinging 239.0.0.0 ...
[16:51:07] <chromas> try 2130706432

[16:50:08] <Bytram> ?
[16:50:06] <chromas> We should switch to signed ints for ipv6 so it'll get adopted faster by artists and stuff
[16:50:04] <Bytram> strange. tried: ping 4009754624 and windows came back with "Pinging 239.0.0.0 with 32 bytes of data:" ...
[16:48:53] <Bytram> umm, wait. 32-bit number
[16:48:38] <chromas> maybe if I disable that
[16:48:32] <chromas> I get a search result
[16:48:27] <Bytram> those are all just conveniences for representing a 64-bit number

[16:47:56] <Bytram> still can!
[16:47:47] <chromas> oh yeah, didn't we used to be able to put the ip addresses in decimal form in browsers?
[16:47:31] <Bytram> and, if I did my math right, 127.0.0.1 is equivalent to EF000000, which works out to decimal: 4009754624
[16:44:33] <Bytram> 0.0.0.0 is a convenience for entry of an IP Addr; one could just use '0', instead, as that is the resolved decimal address for that 4-octet address

[16:43:15] <chromas> I wonder if a forwarding dns server would be faster
[16:42:16] * chromas uninstalls them right away
[16:42:12] <chromas> Why are products scanning my hosts file?
[16:41:17] <Bytram> when one of these products has a fit when it encounters an unknown prefix? It's safer to stay with the "industry standard" of 127.0.0.1
[16:41:17] <Bytram> Myth: there is no known documentation that proves a different prefix is faster than "127.0.0.1" ... yes "0.0.0.0" is a valid alternative for users that are running a Web Server. Over the years some people try to prove that (example - 255.255.255.255) one prefix if faster ... but they fail to see the big picture ... most major security products have the ability to scan the HOSTS file and they accept the prefix "127.0.0.1".

[16:24:31] <chromas> I think the benefit of 0.0.0.0 over 127.0.0.1 is it won't hit your server if you're running one

[15:17:11] <Bytram> I can see that.
[15:16:00] <AndyTheAbsurd> I see it as people who object to fiat currency going to the one thing that is actually WORSE for value exchange than fiat currency.
[15:15:52] <Bytram> of course, linking a bitcoin wallet to a VISA debit card might have some effect on your anonymity?
[15:15:17] <Bytram> I can see different sides of it, and there is much that I see that is advantageous about it, but I tend to be very conservative when it comes to money-related things -- far from an early adopter.
[15:13:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> Frankly, their arguments sound like bullshit to me.

[00:41:46] <chromas> there's no taco in the logo, but two pizzas. surely there was room for a taco in there

[00:39:26] <Bytram> that's what I was wondering
[00:39:18] <Bytram> where '>esays<' appeared in the 'name' column
[00:39:11] <chromas> is /m a shortcut for /msg ?
[00:39:04] <Bytram> and I saw: >esays< stuff
[00:38:45] <Bytram> and, instead did: /m esays stuff
[00:38:28] <Bytram> I was trying to do something like: /me says stuff
[00:38:10] <Bytram> Nah, I had a typo and it appeared to me that I had posted somehting here with a different nick
[00:37:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> what, you find a hamster in your sock?
[00:36:51] <Bytram> Huh? that was interesting!
[00:36:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh
[00:35:57] <Bytram> it's not so much that it is proportional, it's that it's San Serif.
[00:35:26] <Bytram> I'm aware.
[00:35:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> variable width font from google with almost as many glyphs as unifont
[00:34:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> not unifont, noto
[00:34:54] <Bytram> yeah, I remember having it be a fixed-width font before. And ISTR I had had Unifont Upper CSUR as my prev font.
[00:34:01] <Bytram> My Unifont font choices are: Unifont; Unifont CSUR; Unifont Upper; Unifont Upper CSUR
[00:32:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> try noto if you want a variable width font
[00:32:41] * chromas is using ITC Benguiat
[00:32:38] <Bytram> current setting is: Unifont Upper CSUR Medium 12
[00:32:27] <SirFinkus> I think he's my favorite guitarist now
[00:32:21] <SirFinkus> man, albert collins is the king of mutes
[00:32:16] <chromas> blech on the fixed-width font ;)
[00:32:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's not a proportional font, it's a fixed width one.
[00:31:41] <chromas> if it does then you should be able to use any font and it'll just find another one for characters that aren't supported by your choice
[00:31:39] <Bytram> hmm, now it displays the Pile-of-Poo, but, blech on the proportional font.
[00:31:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> not a lot
[00:31:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, some stuffs
[00:31:01] <chromas> maybe gtk3 does. is anything besides guhnome using it yet
[00:30:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> or maybe it does and Bytram just broke something
[00:30:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, apparently not
[00:30:36] * Bytram tries again
[00:30:26] <Bytram> I been deving! Why did you think I've been asking you all those git questions?
[00:30:21] <chromas> does gtk not do font substitution? /me spanks gtk--
[00:30:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> unifont CSUR upper
[00:30:08] <Bytram> yep, still don't see it.
[00:30:02] <Bytram> rom the 💩dept.
[00:29:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> !? and you ain't been deving? slacker!
[00:29:53] <Bytram> man, what an UGLY font! and I still don't see the chars
[00:29:34] <Bytram> got it back around independence day.
[00:29:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> woohoos!
[00:29:23] <Bytram> nod nod
[00:29:13] * Bytram sets font to be: Unifont CSUR Medium 12
[00:28:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> one that could run a vm if we had a vm to run?
