[00:04:29] -!- charon_ has quit []
[00:53:12] <chromas> from the which-university? dept
[00:55:23] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Researchers Uncover PowerShell Trojan That Uses DNS Queries to Get its Orders - http://sylnt.us - clever
[00:58:10] * Deucalion poke chromas with a point<ed> stick
[00:58:26] * chromas doesn't wanna become an ed
[00:58:50] * Deucalion poke chromas with a pointless stick
[00:59:15] <chromas> What's the point?
[01:00:52] <chromas> Wouldn't there be like synergies 'n' stuff between the IT dept and the IT/CS teachers?
[01:01:05] <chromas> "We're gonna teach you how to admin networks but we don't even do that here"
[01:04:47] * charon pokes Deucalion
[01:05:13] <Deucalion> Who in their right mind would teach others exactly how to do their own job, for a lot less money?
[01:05:55] <Deucalion> ^^ This is IT / Tech... sure let me tell you all about it.... oh wait you took my job for 10K less.... BASTARD!
[01:06:07] <Deucalion> Race to the bottom.
[01:06:19] <charon> welcome to america
[01:06:36] * Deucalion becomes a yoga instructor to wealthy and lonely housewives....
[01:06:39] <chromas> Maybe they taught them as students, then the students moved away and took the jerbs
[01:07:01] <charon> where you know you're fired, but you don't get the severance package you're entitled to unless you train the H1B visa who takes your job
[01:07:49] <Deucalion> Wait... severance package? $1 for each year of killing yourself right? :)
[01:08:05] <charon> i'll take mine in gold obols
[01:09:52] <Deucalion> orange_jerbs++
[01:09:52] <Bender> karma - orange_jerbs: 1
[01:12:28] <Deucalion> charon, you should know by now you are entitled to nothing. Those things down there by your feet are bootstraps... use them to pull yourself up..... wait isn't that a perpetual motion thing?
[01:13:25] * charon pulls on his bootstraps and begins to levitate
[01:14:34] <Deucalion> Previous generations bootstrapped themselves up by inheriting vast swathes of property portfoilios.... I see no reason why you find this so hard... :/
[01:15:22] <charon> i made the grave moral error of not being born rich. i admit my fault
[01:15:26] <Deucalion> Are you levitating or have you been out scavenging mushrooms again?
[01:17:04] <Deucalion> Idiot.... should have chosen your parents better! You'll know for next time..... /me throws a handgrenade into the reincarnation vs endless hell after one life debate.... which btw is utterly pointless.
[01:17:41] <charon> i'm voting for oblivion myself. and not the Elder Scrolls kind
[01:19:08] <charon> no shrooms though. i like to keep my mind clear so i can direct the politics discussions
[01:19:28] <Deucalion> I'm voting for absorption into the ethereal "all".
[01:20:28] <Deucalion> How does one "direct" politics discussions? They're moronic and deliberately polarised before they even start.
[01:21:10] <charon> by having lots of sock puppets
[01:21:42] <Deucalion> Wow.... you really don't get out of your row boat much do you
[01:22:17] * Deucalion hits charon with a padded cluestick
[01:22:17] <charon> i bet you don't know that i'm "khallow", "aristarchus", "runaway1956" and "EdIII"
[01:23:11] <Deucalion> And I bet you don#t know that I am TheMightyBuzzard, NCommander and paulej72 .... no really! 10 things you wouldn't believe I am.... just click here
[01:24:03] <charon> you lied to me, there's no link!
[01:24:13] <charon> clickbait without the click
[01:24:54] <Deucalion> must be an irc thing stripping out the html markup... I meant click >here<
[01:25:20] <charon> fool me twice.. can't get fooled again
[01:25:37] <Deucalion> look! A squirrel.......
[01:27:28] <charon> so how are things in London-town?
[01:31:01] <Deucalion> Too expensive for me. Thinking about upsizing to a tent on the roadside for one person, £1mill / sq.ft. Seems like a fair deal at this point. Failing that, sleeping bad outside Harrods just to make a point about disparity n shit - but that would get laughed away as cliche.
[01:31:31] * Deucalion fucks off to bed while they still have one
[01:31:49] <charon> gnight Deucalion
[01:32:21] <Bytram> charon: !!
[01:32:35] <charon> how goes it?
[01:32:53] <Bytram> ok. just got home from work a short while ago.
[01:33:17] <Bytram> checked in on the #fite channel and saw that there should be a revival before too too long, so thought I'd score a few levels
[01:33:30] <Bytram> hwo are you doing?
[01:34:25] <charon> doing ok. looking at the smoking wreckage of todays pol story
[01:35:10] <Bytram> oh?
[01:35:14] * Bytram goes to take alook
[01:35:27] * Fnord666 also heads that way
[01:35:43] <charon> it's not horrifying, but there's a fair bit of name calling
[01:35:50] <charon> and one genuine apology
[01:36:06] <charon> hiyo Fnord666
[01:36:21] <Fnord666> howdy charon
[01:36:36] <Bytram> what I could well imagine is that two/three degrees of 'reach' thing kicked in. they were following "A" who communicated with "B" who happend to communicate with "C" who was at trump's towers.
[01:36:45] <Bytram> Fnord666: !!
[01:36:54] <Fnord666> Bytram!!
[01:37:16] <Fnord666> How are ya?
[01:38:51] <Bytram> tired. Sciatica acted up late in the afternoon. wouldn't wish it on anyone.
[01:39:08] <Fnord666> ouch.
[01:39:23] <Bytram> understatement++
[01:39:23] <Bender> karma - understatement: 2
[01:39:57] <charon> i'm sorry, it sounds unpleasant
[01:40:06] <Bytram> it has been known to go away spontaneously, so I decided to start with that route. that was almost two months ago. if it was going to go away on its own, it should have done it by now....
[01:40:25] <Bytram> so, on to a more 'active' attempt... time for some stretching exercises.
[01:41:03] <Fnord666> Worth a shot, right?
[01:41:11] <Bytram> yep.
[01:41:28] <Bytram> otherwise one falls prey to: post hoc ergo propter hoc
[01:41:43] <Bytram> (I *think* I speeled that rite)
[01:42:15] <Fnord666> you did
[01:42:34] <Bytram> aka: It happened after I did "this", so "this" must have fixed it, right? Nope. Not even wrong.
[01:42:44] <Bytram> ;)
[01:42:54] <charon> after pawning something it's my property?
[01:42:56] <Fnord666> or correlation is not causation
[01:43:08] <Fnord666> charon - exactly
[01:43:09] <Bytram> Fnord666: bingo
[01:43:34] <charon> i reed gud
[01:43:37] <Bytram> charon: so the trick is to start pawning stuff that you took from other people?
[01:44:24] <Fnord666> I believe that's called fencing, which is also an Olympic sport.
[01:44:33] <charon> lol
[01:44:51] <Bytram> rofl
[01:45:05] <Bytram> is that anything like Olympic Javelin Catching?
[01:45:37] <Fnord666> Last year's rookie of the year and this year's returning champion...
[01:46:11] <Bytram> OUCH!
[01:46:57] <Fnord666> https://www.youtube.com
[01:47:24] <Fnord666> 5 Crazy Javelin Throw Accidents
[01:48:04] <charon> how is that even happening?
[01:48:19] <Fnord666> Don't watch if you're squeamish
[01:48:23] <charon> do you not clear the whole damned field?
[01:48:38] <Fnord666> there are officials downfield that measure the distance, etc.
[01:49:05] <Fnord666> they are off to the side, but sometimes throws go off course a bit
[01:49:19] <Fnord666> and sometimes they just don't get out of the field in time.
[01:49:32] <Fnord666> people get in a hurry, etc.
[01:50:07] <charon> so the final distance is wherever the guy it hits falls down
[01:50:31] <Bytram> You're running the WRONG WAY! Turn AROUND!
[01:50:32] <Fnord666> I don't believe you are able to add to your distance via hobble, no
[01:50:44] <charon> lol Bytram
[01:51:05] <Bytram> hobble? didn't that have something to do with Middle Earth or somethin?
[01:51:20] <Fnord666> yes, yes it did.
[01:51:48] <Fnord666> A fine family of Hobbles, the Tooksbury's were
[01:52:04] <charon> ProudFEET!
[01:52:15] <Fnord666> :)
[01:52:32] * Bytram occasionally sizes watch bracelets that have not just full-sized links, but half-sized ones, as well. otherwise known as half-links, which my brain hears as "Hlaflings" and then I go all Lord of the Rings
[01:53:16] <Bytram> charon: FEET? Are those Field Effect Effect Transistors?
[01:53:31] <charon> double the effect
[01:53:32] <Fnord666> MOSsyFEeT
[01:53:40] <Bytram> ROFLMAO!
[01:54:10] <Bytram> Touché
[01:54:23] <Fnord666> charon - well played sir
[01:55:01] * charon bows
[01:55:04] * charon rosins
[01:55:19] <Bytram> Fnord666: Wait... were they at all related to that rock group LittleFET?
[01:56:12] <Fnord666> quite possibly a distant relative. I haven't stayed current on the situation.
[01:56:41] <charon> so much hair, how could we tell the size of the feet anyway?
[01:57:08] <Bytram> the challenge is so great, it *would* be quite the feet.
[01:57:46] <Fnord666> hair we go again...
[01:58:02] <Bytram> Nah, just toe-ing the line
[01:58:05] <charon> plus one for a well executed pun. -1 because it's still a pun
[01:58:18] <Bytram> well, I guess you *nailed* that one!
[01:58:42] <charon> i can't be the sole person who gets tired of this
[01:58:59] <Bytram> Did you know that music is metric? It has meter but no foot!
[01:59:00] <Fnord666> just a group of fungi-s
[01:59:17] * Bytram arch-es his browse
[01:59:46] <charon> quit being a heel
[02:00:06] <Bytram> better a-heel than a-hole?
[02:02:30] <Fnord666> keep this up and we are going to end up with carpal punal syndrome
[02:03:07] <charon> tarsal
[02:03:29] <Bytram> Fnord666: umm, the carpals ARE handy while the tarsals are footy
[02:03:31] <Bytram> ninja'd
[02:03:44] <charon> latin'd!
[02:03:50] <Fnord666> i was wondering if you can get carpal tarsal syndrome
[02:04:23] <Fnord666> these puns have one foot in the grave anyway.
[02:04:30] <Bytram> Tsarsal Tunnel Syndrome - a new route to Russia!
[02:04:59] <charon> can we take a step back and look at how silly this is?
[02:05:49] <Bytram> we could, but why would anyone want to do THAT/
[02:06:10] <Fnord666> the problem with the Tsarsal tunnel is that you have to go on foot.
[02:06:21] * Bytram could use a few extra endorphins at this time of night
[02:06:56] <Fnord666> it's either this or lay on the floor and toss darts into the air, then try and dodge them.
[02:07:05] <Bytram> Fnord666: That could get difficult... take a couple steps, surface to take a few breaths, descend to the bottom, take a few steps, surface...
[02:07:35] <Bytram> are nerf darts called narts or durfs?
[02:08:13] <charon> the not even dead spirit of Rasputin apears and gives you a dunking
[02:09:19] <Fnord666> I can't believe that I learned all my russian from watching car crash videos
[02:09:58] <charon> cyka blyat
[02:10:32] <charon> i learned all mine from deathmatches
[02:10:37] <Fnord666> exactly
[02:11:00] <Bytram> i can't spell them, but I can say "Hi!" "Thanks" "You're Welcome' and "Good Bye" in Russian
[02:11:28] <Fnord666> I couldn't spell any of them either
[02:11:30] <charon> tovyu mat'
[02:11:46] <Fnord666> can't fool me. That's Klingon
[02:12:11] <charon> even i am not such a monstrous nerd as to know Klingon
[02:12:19] <charon> i have standards
[02:12:50] <Fnord666> some University students have pushed to get Klingon added as a foreign language to fulfill their requirements
[02:13:23] <charon> that's more than a little silly. if you want to learn a conlang, how about a useful one like esperanto
[02:13:30] <Fnord666> Then again they've also tried getting the Jedi teachings added to the philosophy dept, so....
[02:14:00] <Fnord666> Is esperanto used anywhere? I know of it but...
[02:14:17] * Bytram would be quite happy just to see elvish characters added to Unicode
[02:14:20] <charon> someone in MA successfully got the state to allow her to wear a collander in her driver's license picture. church of the FSM, you know
[02:14:42] * Bytram had heard of that, but thought it was a guy who did it?
[02:14:51] <charon> maybe it was a guy, i forget
[02:15:01] <Fnord666> I did know that, at least the general details
[02:15:16] <chromas> Spaghetti is so wrong. Bad religion. Linguine is where it's at
[02:15:26] <Fnord666> http://www.huffingtonpost.com
[02:15:53] <charon> His noodly appendage is seen in all forms of pasta, chromas
[02:17:22] <Fnord666> just so brother charon
[02:18:21] <chromas> No! Your cross-section is wrong! I won't accept it!
[02:18:41] <Bytram> Hmm, maybe I misunderstood The Terminator, then? "Pasta la Vista!"
[02:18:51] <charon> my first religious schism. i'm so excited!
[02:18:55] <Bytram> Look at all this foooooood!
[02:21:09] <Fnord666> a veritable cornucopia
[02:21:51] <Bytram> hey, wait a minute! Since when do they put corn in pasta? CORNucopia? Jeesh!
[02:21:59] <Bytram> ;)
[02:22:41] <Bytram> and all this talk of food reminded me I've not yet prepared dinner... and I'm getting hungry! biab
[02:23:33] <Fnord666> enjoy. Having pasta?
[02:27:51] <charon> mmm, orzo
[03:06:07] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Ann Arbor is Fighting Traffic With Software—and Winning - http://sylnt.us - honk-honk
[03:14:31] * TheMightyBuzzard yawns
[03:14:31] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into TheMightyBuzzard's gaping mouth
[03:17:06] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: wb! how was the campin/fishin?
[03:18:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, there was tents and a camp fire and marshmallows and fishes. can't complain too much.
[03:19:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> feelin much restored
[03:19:18] <Bytram> YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:19:40] <Bytram> two more days and then I'm on vacation.
[03:19:55] <Bytram> have plans for fri-sun, but then have week after that off, as well
[03:21:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> noice
[03:21:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> got plans besides sitting around the house?
[03:21:45] <Bytram> yeah, instead of sitting, i might try some napping, too.
[03:21:50] <Bytram> =)
[03:22:34] <Bytram> well, there is the paying of bills and the figuring of taxes... likely see a movie or two, too.
[03:23:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> thar ya go. i was pondering on seeing Logan tomorrow myself.
[03:23:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> going in with not a lot of expectations given some of the x-men movies but i do have some hopes because it's not a chock-full-o-stars cast.
[03:24:29] * Bytram has no idea of what's playing atm or what is worth seeing... usually check what's playing at the local multi-plex, check the rotten tomatoes web site, and maybe ask around here.
[03:24:43] <Bytram> nodnod
[03:24:51] <Bytram> an expectation is a pre-arranged resentment
[03:28:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, i'm keeping mine low so that i can't be overly disappointed while setting myself up to be pleasantly surprised.
[03:29:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, i am really looking forward to Torment: Tides of Numenera
[03:29:31] <Bytram> 'zactly! High hopes + Low Expectations == very good idea
[03:30:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> reviews have it being a five star RPG in the tradition of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment
[03:30:41] <charon> it is very good
[03:30:56] <charon> i've got about 10 hours into it
[03:30:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> not mmo-anything either, which makes me happy.
[03:31:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> charon, it's out already?
[03:31:23] <charon> yep, feb 28, i think
[03:31:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> damn, ima hafta put off getting it for a week so i can get some site work done then.
[03:31:40] * Bytram is not into video games... last one I played was on my 486-33: Wing Commander, IIRC
[03:31:57] <Fnord666> playing Torment right now on Charon's recommendation.
[03:31:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, that thing was awesome but unplayable on a pentium3
[03:32:01] <charon> or maybe mar 1. i kickstarted it, so i downloaded it and started playing on release day
[03:32:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> it was a few flashes and boom you're dead at 500MHz
[03:32:47] <Bytram> unplayable? play speed varied with clock speed / compute power?
[03:32:53] <Bytram> nod nod
[03:33:17] <Bytram> you shoulda UNclicked the turbo button
[03:33:17] <charon> heh, who knew processor speeds would keep going up?
[03:33:33] <Bytram> Some dud named Gordon?
[03:33:37] <Fnord666> 640K should be enough for anybody
[03:33:44] <Bytram> s/d /de /
[03:33:44] <sedctl> <Bytram> Some dude named Gordon?
[03:33:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> still, it was a fun game while you had hardware what'd support it
[03:34:23] <Fnord666> given the number of games that are still compared to it to this day...
[03:34:53] <Bytram> pro-tip: run some CPU- Memory- or I/O- hogging program at the same time
[03:34:57] <Bytram> except
[03:35:19] <Bytram> ISTR I needed a custom config.sys and autoexec.bat to even be able to play it in the first place
[03:35:33] <Fnord666> now those were the days
[03:35:34] <charon> i recall those days. not very fondly
[03:35:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, nowadays there's things to choke speed-bound games down to what they should be run at
[03:35:59] * Bytram got pretty darn good and wringing out the last few extra bytes of low memory
[03:36:13] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: you mean like a VM? ;)
[03:36:26] <Fnord666> or Windows?
[03:36:36] <Bytram> Touche'
[03:36:46] <Fnord666> low hanging fruit
[03:37:58] <Bytram> well, as much as I would like to stay and chat... I'm pretty beat after a full day at work today... back at it tomorrow, so calling it an early night to hopefully catch up on my sleep...
[03:38:14] <Bytram> ~gnight Fnord666
[03:38:17] <Bytram> ~gnight charon
[03:38:20] <Bytram> ~gnight TheMightyBuzzard
[03:38:25] <charon> gnight Bytram
[03:38:31] <Bytram> yes, I know there' no exec bot, but the sentiment still holds
[03:38:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gnight Bytram
[03:38:37] <Fnord666> ~gnight Bytram
[03:38:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, fix yer bot
[03:38:52] <Bytram> thanks guys!
[03:38:58] * charon anxiously spackles a quarter-pound of alewives into Bytram
[03:39:13] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: oh, you might want to look at the #fite rankings when you get a chance. =)
[03:39:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> NCommander's still in the lead
[03:40:21] <Bytram> yeah, but ONLY by a factor of TEN! Just give me about 2 more centuries.
[03:40:30] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[03:40:37] <Bytram> mission accomplished!
[03:40:59] <Bytram> sleep well my friends, au revoir!
[03:42:02] <Fnord666> a demain
[03:50:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> damn, T: ToN is linux-happy already too
[04:02:34] <Fnord666> oh the temptation!
[04:06:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i'll get some work done this week then get it next week.
[04:09:51] <charon> i'll be sure to sprinkle in some plot points every time i see you

[19:28:19] <khallow> howdy
[19:30:01] <charon> hiyo
[19:30:33] <khallow> is
[19:30:40] <khallow> er
[19:31:14] <janrinok> hi khallow
[19:31:30] <khallow> is NCommander's story going an indication that we can include images in our journals?
[19:31:56] <khallow> because I can work with that and not in a horrible way
[19:32:46] <charon> i am honestly not sure whether it's allowed for people without privileges. hang on
[19:32:52] <Fnord666> howdy all!
[19:33:02] <charon> hiyo fnord
[19:33:33] <janrinok> Fnord666, hello to you too. Things good at your end?
[19:34:17] <Fnord666> they are. Yourself? Haven't had a chance to converse in a while.
[19:34:59] <janrinok> khallow, it is something that we use rarely but, if completely justified, can be done. It is preferred that images are just a link - rather than having them display, because those with slow connections or data caps might not want them
[19:35:25] <janrinok> NC has always done things his own way though ... :)
[19:37:28] <janrinok> Fnord666, well, the recent emergency has passed or at least reduced to a more minor panic. Unfortunately I now have overdone it (again!!!) and I am having to obey the doctor again
[19:37:41] <khallow> Hmmm, I guess the problem on my side is that I don't have a means currently to display graphics - such as math equations
[19:37:49] <khallow> maybe time to invest in a blog account
[19:38:49] <Fnord666> janrinok that's good re the emergency and I'm sure your Dr. only has your best interest at heart.
[19:39:29] <janrinok> well she obviously hasn't got yours - because I'm not supposed to be spending much time on here which leaves you lot to cover for me!
[19:39:48] <Fnord666> I know my Dr. continues to fight the good fight despite my best efforts to sabotage it.
[19:40:06] <janrinok> let's make sure we keep them apart!
[19:40:18] <Fnord666> good idea!
[19:43:08] <janrinok> khallow - the preferred way of providing your own images is to upload them to one of the common sharing sites and simply provide a link to them in your submission. Make sure that they are clearly marked as images or whatever so people know what they are clicking on.
[19:43:46] <Fnord666> As I recall Bytram is fond of saying and I feel the same way, take care of your health janrinok.
[19:43:53] * charon embeds to a 5hr long youtube movie
[19:44:15] <Fnord666> You've got a good staff here.
[19:45:16] <janrinok> I have no doubts about the quality of the team - that's what I like about this place
[19:46:28] <Fnord666> Doesn't hurt to be reminded sometimes though.
[19:46:33] <khallow> Ugh, janrinok, that reminds me of my security work during the winter season at Yellowstone
[19:46:49] <khallow> there's always someone getting hurt or overexerting themselves
[19:47:08] <Fnord666> khallow - I thought you might mean hibernating
[19:47:09] <khallow> I managed to do it this season, hurt my left knee for a few weeks
[19:47:19] <khallow> I wish
[19:47:38] <khallow> there's a fair number of medical problems triggered by travel to higher altitudes
[19:47:57] <Fnord666> hypoxia for instance
[19:47:59] <khallow> someone flies in from Florida and ends up at 6300 feet (almost 1000 meters)
[19:48:10] <khallow> overnight
[19:48:21] <khallow> we didn't get as much of that as usual
[19:48:47] <khallow> there were no guests staying in my area this season because the hotel was under construction
[19:49:09] <janrinok> sound like a typical Spanish holiday destination ...
[19:49:13] <khallow> they're increasing the hotel's size and number of rooms a bit
[19:49:57] <khallow> fortunately, we only had a few serious health problems this winter
[19:51:19] <janrinok> still sounds like a Spanish holiday resort
[19:52:13] <Fnord666> Used to see issues with scuba divers that would fly out too soon after their last dive.
[19:52:57] <khallow> ouch
[19:53:43] <Fnord666> yeah, about as much fun as you imagine it is.

[19:58:24] <Fnord666> It's been good talking to you all but I must get back to work for a while. ttyl.
[19:58:44] <DECbot> quitter
[19:58:57] <charon> that's why he never wins
[19:59:01] <DECbot> nice see you in the chat log
[19:59:43] <DECbot> and good luck with your work habit
