[00:03:50] <BadCoderFinger> Not bad, still working. Deadlines suck.
[00:05:05] <nick> that they do
[00:07:04] <BadCoderFinger> But, at the end of each week, there's beer day.
[00:07:08] -!- Deadline [Deadline!~SpallsHur@Soylent/Users/656/SpallsHurgenson] has joined #Soylent
[00:08:20] * Deadline glares at BadCoderFinger
[00:08:44] * Deadline taps his watch meaningfully as he slowly shakes his head
[00:12:25] <nick> BadCoderFinger cant catch a break today
[00:13:05] <BadCoderFinger> Ouch, Spalls, ouch.
[00:13:07] -!- Deadline has quit [Quit: has come and gone]
[00:13:39] <BadCoderFinger> He'll be back, heh.
[00:13:56] -!- SpallsHurgenson [SpallsHurgenson!~SpallsHur@Soylent/Users/656/SpallsHurgenson] has joined #Soylent
[00:14:22] * SpallsHurgenson arrives in the channel for the first time tonight, honest! :)
[00:14:36] <SpallsHurgenson> (what an odd thing for me to say :)
[00:16:38] <SpallsHurgenson> http://www.medievalists.net forget all that recent nonsense about how they found a new batch of proto-human bones; THIS is a real important historical discovery!
[00:16:38] <Schwifty> ^ 03The earliest use of the F-word discovered - Medievalists.net
[00:22:14] <BadCoderFinger> How are you, Spalls?
[00:22:59] <SpallsHurgenson> hungry!
[00:23:54] * SpallsHurgenson goes off on a daring clandestine raid on the fridge...
[00:29:10] <SpallsHurgenson> okay, you can turn off the mission impossible theme music; I've gotten myself fed :)
[00:30:41] <BadCoderFinger> Now you need some new theme music.
[00:31:02] <SpallsHurgenson> providing me with theme music has always been a condition of my employment :)
[00:31:29] * TheMightyBuzzard fires up Aqua - Barbie Girl
[00:32:06] <SpallsHurgenson> http://news.softpedia.com scary (although I'd love to see what questions they used to get these answers)
[00:32:07] <Schwifty> ^ 0391 Percent of Americans Would Be OK with a Backdoor in Their Software - Softpedia
[00:33:05] * Deucalion drops a scavengened side of roast ham, 121 pots of mustard, 1 roll of bread, 567567 bit of scrap clothing and a wheel nut into Spalls fridge..... make a sammich.... or make a survival game.... you decide.
[00:33:48] * Deucalion fucks off to bed, cynicism depleted.
[00:35:51] <SpallsHurgenson> I wonder what the theme music for folding laundry would be
[00:40:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> SpallsHurgenson, Linkin Park - No Laundry
[00:40:13] <SpallsHurgenson> useful fact: "before the word fuck existed (it started to be used by the 15th century), sard was the word people in medieval England used to describe having sex. "
[00:41:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> https://www.youtube.com
[00:41:02] <Schwifty> ^ 03Linkin Park - No Laundry [Lyrics on screen] HD - YouTube
[00:42:10] <SpallsHurgenson> (no relation to "sod" as in "sod off", which apparently derives from sodomite/sodomy
[00:42:53] <SpallsHurgenson> I think an essential part of theme music is that it's actually music... and linkin park definitely does not qualify
[00:43:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly a good thing that sodom isn't around anymore. how would you like to live in a town whose name was synonymous with buttfucking?
[00:43:48] <SpallsHurgenson> I dunno; is there anyone here from san franscisco we can ask?
[00:44:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, good point. ya think we'd get SF back if we rebuilt sodom?
[00:44:45] <SpallsHurgenson> I wasn't aware SF had gone anywhere
[00:44:45] * nick notes that "sard" is in the book 'slang down the ages'
[00:45:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, sardines
[00:45:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> speaking of food, ima go find some
[00:45:56] * SpallsHurgenson recommends looking in the fridge
[00:47:41] <SpallsHurgenson> mind you, sodomy includes ORAL sex in addition to "buttfucking" (bestiality too)
[00:48:03] <BadCoderFinger> One word covers so much territory.
[00:48:08] <SpallsHurgenson> so Las Vegas might be more appropriate :)
[00:48:49] <SpallsHurgenson> or any town in Scotland :) :) :)
[00:49:17] <BadCoderFinger> Wow man...
[00:49:49] <BadCoderFinger> So no fan of the Scots, then?
[00:50:11] <SpallsHurgenson> what? No! Those guys really know how to party!
[00:50:23] <BadCoderFinger> Or, you were just sitting there thinking, "I really don't have enough enemies."
[00:51:28] <SpallsHurgenson> meh, like I've anything to worry about skirt-wearing scottish pansies :) :) :) :)
[00:51:58] <SpallsHurgenson> excuse me, there's a man with a large battle-axe and incomprehensible accent whaling on my front door.

[01:08:05] <SpallsHurgenson> http://www.telegraph.co.uk so is this a case of an astronomer not understanding computers or a science-writer not understanding science?
[01:08:05] <Schwifty> ^ 03Humans 'may accidentally send aliens a computer virus' - Telegraph
[01:09:07] * SpallsHurgenson is betting the latter... science-writers for newspapers tend to be pretty superficial in their understanding and there's lots of computers in astronomy...
[01:11:27] <nick> "But it turns out there are some security problems. Languages can hide a lot of information. We're worried about malware being sent to aliens. " - Dr Anders Sandberg, of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University
[01:12:44] <nick> we're sending enough malware to ourselves i think.
[01:15:38] <SpallsHurgenson> we're more likely to infect them with a biological virus than computer malware... and the first is extremely unlikely even if we didn't have to worry about the huge distances
[01:19:24] <nick> although we should be careful not to ignore the need for defensive capabilities for intergalactic cyberwar
[01:20:20] <SpallsHurgenson> I think the astronomer was watched "Independence Day" a few times too many
[01:20:37] <chromas> maybe they're sending us malware
[01:21:00] <SpallsHurgenson> that would explain systemd
[01:21:03] <chromas> that's why we dont' find them. they send sql injections to delete their data from our computers before we get to see itr
[01:21:19] <nick> i think SpallsHurgenson is onto something there

[01:23:06] <SpallsHurgenson> well... given a minimum eight year turn around, we should start receiving the first cyber-attacks against Android 1.0 in just over a year :)

[01:49:39] <SpallsHurgenson> ow.
[01:54:35] <SpallsHurgenson> I'll say this much for Australians; they really know how to dual-wield dingos!
[01:59:11] <nick> im sure it depends where you are, but even in the suburbs, internet in australia was not great only a couple or so years ago.
[01:59:58] <nick> i can understand in the rural areas, but it seems crazy to be so slow and expensive in the city and suburbs
[02:01:28] <SpallsHurgenson> you should move to America! everyone here has crazy fast internet. Like, ISDN speeds even!
[02:02:22] <nick> lol
[02:03:21] <SpallsHurgenson> its great, you'll barely notice the 100Mb caps :)
[02:05:45] <nick> it does actually make sense, if your internet provider also offers television and has a monopoly or duopoly

[02:30:14] <Schwifty> ^ 03Don't bother buying computers for schools, says OECD report • The Register
[02:37:15] <SpallsHurgenson> computers in school are such a waste.
[02:37:20] <SpallsHurgenson> tablets in school even more so
[02:37:50] <SpallsHurgenson> especially since they don't teach the TEACHERS how to use them, much less best utilize them in their lessons
[02:41:08] <SpallsHurgenson> and from what I can tell, its not as if they are even teaching the KIDS to use the computers. They just put them there and they get used as super-expensive video-players, in lieu of standardized tests on paper, or instead of an overhead projector
[02:42:23] <nick> hey now, we do standardized tests on computer, it saves paper and saves anyone having to mark it.
[02:44:22] <SpallsHurgenson> no, it's a bad idea! the #2 pencil industry is too big to fail!
[02:45:24] <nick> really is sleep time now

[03:00:14] <Bytram> and with that (very lame) joke, Ima gonna call it a night.
[03:00:17] <Bytram> be well all.
[03:02:49] <SpallsHurgenson> anyway, I don't have an opinion on the subject :) :)
[03:10:58] <SpallsHurgenson> barring an immediate life-or-death threat, I'd like to believe I'd violate an NSL that tells me not to talk about it
