[00:27:26] <takyon> stop resisting spalls
[00:27:56] <chromas> it's totally fake; no guns or choking involved
[00:28:31] <SpallsHurgenson> could be; the girl isn't dead so how can he legitimately call himself a cop?

[01:01:21] <SpallsHurgenson> why? 'cause germans fuckin' learn from history :)
[01:16:40] <takyon> they already broke it all
[01:17:41] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[01:18:14] <BadCoderFinger> I guess Merkel's revelation might tempt her to endorse it.
[01:23:53] <SpallsHurgenson> meanwhile, the US Senate ratifies CISA... now the only way it won't become law is if Obama does the right thing...
[01:24:02] * SpallsHurgenson isn't holding his breath
[01:24:17] <BadCoderFinger> Counting on a politician to do the right thing... Yikes.
[01:24:31] <Yog-Yogguth> Merkel is a commie nazi >:C
[01:24:50] <Yog-Yogguth> nobody learnt anything at all either there or anywhere else
[01:26:20] <SirFinkus> lube up everyone, internet is just going to get worse and worse
[01:28:03] <BadCoderFinger> "And the internet takes a starring role in a prison porn."
[01:34:51] <Yog-Yogguth> man a lot of people (people > 0) are torturing DOSbox, like installing and running w95 on it :o
[01:35:32] <Yog-Yogguth> almost tempted to try, I like how DOSBox can be paused with a keypress
[01:36:07] * Yog-Yogguth sees it involves jar files and isn't tempted any more
[01:36:16] <SpallsHurgenson> forget Mozilla or PGP or the Linux kernel, DOSBox is the real teh awesome!!1!
[01:36:56] <Yog-Yogguth> hah :) *cough* I did use it to test machine code (might do a journal post)
[01:37:23] <Yog-Yogguth> DOS machine code in DOSBox on Linux :)
[01:37:50] <Yog-Yogguth> (and I thought that was pretty wild until I sw what other people do)
[01:37:59] <Yog-Yogguth> saw*
[01:42:02] <Yog-Yogguth> DOS... I can't even remember if the more command was supposed to work with other stuff than text files (the FreeDOS more stolen into DOSBox doesn't)
[01:46:09] <crutchy> Yog-Yogguth, i don't think you're considered teh l337 h@x0rz until you write a web browser for a graphics calculator
[01:46:56] <Yog-Yogguth> hah yeah, I'm not aiming for that so no worries, I'm just relaxing :)
[01:47:48] <crutchy> or maybe that would just be 'hacker', considering l337 h@x0rz tend to just be dumbshit teeniboppers running softice
[01:48:08] <crutchy> or nmap

[01:49:21] <Yog-Yogguth> I only did this to see how one would install FreeDOS programs/commands on DOSBox since nobody spelled it out in the documentation (only said it was easy)
[01:50:00] <crutchy> should dig out doom
[01:50:03] <Yog-Yogguth> and it works but is very very limited at least int he case of more
[01:50:05] <crutchy> that was an awesome game
[01:50:28] <crutchy> or duke nukem
[01:50:37] <Yog-Yogguth> I install command&conquer earlier and got the sound working but it looks like a boring game so I went back to nonsense like this instead :D

[01:55:04] <exec> After all, we're all going to be old farts some day, if we're lucky enough to not die first. Would you rather be an old fart who's having a blast, or an old fart hidden out of sight that everybody else is ashamed to acknowledge even exists? All the more power to 'em, I say. Partying's not my thing, but I'll raise a cup of coffee to this trio and wish them many more decades of awesome parties, and express the hope that they're always the life of said

[02:08:16] <SpallsHurgenson> "That study also found that every additional 100g of red meat eaten daily increased the relative risks of colorectal cancer by 17 percent."... so according to them if you eat an 16 ounce steak and you have a 76% chance of getting cancer
[02:08:37] <SpallsHurgenson> given the amount of 16oz steaks eaten in the US, I think I can call bullshit on that study :)
[02:10:26] <SpallsHurgenson> I think those scientists are just trying to corner the bacon-n-steak market all for themselves :)
[02:11:32] <Yog-Yogguth> it's the War on Meat
[02:11:56] <Yog-Yogguth> from the same kind of people that want you to eat bugs probably :)
[02:12:10] <chromas> bugs are people too
[02:12:27] <SpallsHurgenson> flavored yeast-cakes :)
[02:12:32] <Yog-Yogguth> bugs ar more important than people, let's leave them alone :3
[02:12:32] <takyon> americans have plenty of cancer spalls
[02:13:20] <SpallsHurgenson> eating a 1lb steak isn't uncommon, and 76% of people aren't suffering from rectal cancer
[02:13:36] <Yog-Yogguth> it would explain the internet though :P

[07:46:01] <SirFinkus> Nick Baldwin, a brilliant virologist who works as an 'insubordinate' ambulance technician after being fired for failing to observe procedure, is first on the site and points out to US Army disease specialist Dr. Samantha Carter, who told him there were deaths in several other cases but never a trace of the virus, his ambulance has taken a survivor to his hospital
[07:46:01] <SirFinkus> ; her therapeutic incompetence gets the patient killed, him assigned as temporary consultant to her army research unit- even there computer model operator Darren is killed by the virus, which also strikes at other sites in and around Seattle, notably at places where Digicron's 500 TV channels setup box is being tested.
[07:46:35] <SirFinkus> this is the kicker
[07:46:36] <SirFinkus> Nick realizes the survivors had eye diseases, so the otherwise non-contagious, short-living virus probably enters via the eyes; the common link seem to be TV screens, and as soon turns out Digicron black boxes. Their next theory is that a computer virus may have evolved into a deadly organic virus.

[11:58:46] <crutchy> sounds like the IPN might be a good application for it

[12:00:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, rehash ain't OO.
[12:00:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> well mostly ain't
[12:01:01] <crutchy> i'm only talking about the ipn
[12:01:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> right. which i don't wanna code in a completely different style and confuse the fuck outa everyone working on it =P
[12:02:05] <crutchy> probably good reason
[12:02:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> but yeah, it could be done that way
[12:02:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> easier to just go structured though.
[12:02:37] <crutchy> my work app could be OO too but i stuck with procedural for simplicity

[21:19:10] <crutchy> is that where you vote for a dictator?
[21:23:46] <crutchy> apparently the USA lost the cold war
[21:32:59] * Yog-Yogguth reads the comments to "Vanishing Haystack" ... guess it sucked then :3
[21:34:27] <Yog-Yogguth> no, humanity won the cold war but then the US revealed itself to be (or became) bad guys
[21:36:24] <Yog-Yogguth> btw since Sanders calls himself socialist there shouldn't be a problem with others sayingthe same

[21:42:54] <Yog-Yogguth> I think it's a bit unfair to treat socialism and idiocy as synonyms, what's going on here in Europe is idiocy more than anything else
[21:43:05] <Yog-Yogguth> only a bit though :3
[21:43:31] <Yog-Yogguth> it's not like any other ism is any better in the long run

[21:47:25] <alexbst> Yog-Yogguth - the european situation is starting to smack of reaping what one does not sow
[21:47:45] <alexbst> and it is fairly fucked up
[21:47:49] <Yog-Yogguth> no, we all sowed it, even those of us like me who voted against it
[21:48:04] <alexbst> in belgium, to employ someone, the government taxes 300-400% the employee's salary
[21:48:11] <Yog-Yogguth> and have been voting against it (the madness) for years/decades
[21:49:18] <alexbst> I've been seriously considering south america
[21:49:26] <Yog-Yogguth> how much are you willig to bet people will still vote for the so-called social democrats, centrists, and conservatives?
[21:49:42] <Yog-Yogguth> yeah if you can leave that's great
[21:49:53] <Yog-Yogguth> you're not the first nor the last
[21:50:40] <alexbst> pondering the collapse of it all.
[21:50:56] <Yog-Yogguth> it's a lot to ponder
[21:51:20] <alexbst> japan hasn't collapsed but the society is totally fucked.
[21:51:45] <Yog-Yogguth> in what way(s)?
[21:52:04] <alexbst> the work environment is deeply inefficient
[21:52:16] <Yog-Yogguth> probably a good thing
[21:52:18] <alexbst> they reward effort rather than results
[21:53:00] <alexbst> grass eaters and so forth
[21:53:17] <alexbst> you might say there is a great space for efficient businesses to take hold
[21:53:41] <Yog-Yogguth> and what would be good about that?
[21:55:33] <Yog-Yogguth> I don't think anyone from Europe should stick their nose into it trying to "improve" things considering our track record
[21:56:10] <Yog-Yogguth> by our I meant Europe's
[21:56:16] <Yog-Yogguth> and the US for that matter
[21:57:23] <Yog-Yogguth> our productivity and efficiency is how we ended up here, soon to be extinct
[21:57:48] <Yog-Yogguth> sorry if I come across as grumpy XD
[21:59:42] <alexbst> I mean if you start a business and tightly manage it, there are efficiencies to be reaped vs the encumbents.
[22:03:24] <Yog-Yogguth> that's part of the lie see the video I have as my "homepage" https://www.youtube.com it's wor several times, only to listen, only to look at his face, only to think about it

[22:20:15] <alexbst> heh
[22:20:27] <alexbst> part of me thinks he sounds quite bitter.
[22:20:31] <Yog-Yogguth> and he's right
[22:20:59] <Yog-Yogguth> he's angry
[22:21:42] <alexbst> but I guess if you write science fiction and find reality never alligns with it, you'd be a bit sad too.
[22:22:00] <Yog-Yogguth> there's a lot he doesn't say that's hidden between the lines, he's smart enough to know where things are heading
[22:22:39] <alexbst> it actually sounds a bit cut short.
[22:22:54] <alexbst> did he follow up with anything written related ?
[22:23:05] <Yog-Yogguth> well he's basically shaking with rage towards the end so it might be he cut it short
[22:23:39] <Yog-Yogguth> he writes a lot of things so maybe
[22:24:34] <alexbst> I'd love to see some aspects of the diamond age come to life
[22:25:35] <Yog-Yogguth> I wouldn't mind having a neutron bomb in my tooth :3
