[00:32:22] <RandomFactor> We solved the Original Colossal Cave Adventure on 8 inch floppies over a summer. We never could find one last point. Found out decades later that you had to take that magazine back to its owners room.

[00:42:21] <Bytram> RandomFactor: I solved it in, IIRC, either 1982 or 1983. Ported from a DecSystem 10 to run on our IBM mainframe. All code was in... FORTRAN (I got a hardcopy of it at one time, too). Eventually I succeeded in mapping the whole thing and gaining all 350 points.
[00:47:49] <RandomFactor> Same time frame, either summer of 81 or 82 (couldn't have been 83)

[02:47:35] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: I'd like that. I've lately gained some flexibility in my schedule, so if you can give me, say, a day's notice (or at least 8 hours) and I will confirm with you.
[02:48:42] <Bytram> That said, first things first. When push comes to shove, take care of your job, health, food, life, etc. and we will manage.
[02:49:36] <Bytram> And, with that, it has been a full day and I think I'll turn in for the night.

[03:16:19] <pinchy> on SN is there anyway to keep the tree you have expanded and moderate? when I click moderate all the trees fold up and your up at the top
[03:17:36] <chromas> You can middle-click the moderate button to open the resulting page in a new tab, then close the tab
[03:18:10] <chromas> Or, if you don't forget, you can wait to click moderate until you've scrolled the whole page. All Moderate buttons are equal
[03:21:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> pinchy, you can queue up a bunch of moderations on the same page and just hit any Moderate button when you're done with the page.
[03:22:49] <pinchy> yea thats what I usually do but its so fun to click and get it out of the way
[03:27:06] <Fnord666> I didn't think it took you back to the top of the page when you moderate a comment.
[03:27:22] <Fnord666> I thought I always ended up back at that comment
[03:27:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> you could always do like i do. TNG and set to -1. nothing ever collapses unless i tell it to.
[03:28:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> Fnord666, depends on if the comment's on that page still or if the comment's recollapsed or not.
[03:28:05] <chromas> What was the difference between TNG and TOS? Is it documented somewhere?
[03:28:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> one setting vs two
[03:28:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly
[03:28:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> reckon i should have called it Threaded-Gnome?
[03:29:23] <chromas> No, that should be the name of the beta-style setting with yuge margins and all the details hidden in a hamberder menu
[03:29:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> oooooh!
[03:29:39] <pinchy> threaded next generation vs threaded of service
[03:30:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, ima actually get in bed within four hours of bedtime tonight. will try and remember to get the certs and janrinok's kerb login in the morning.
[03:32:52] <chromas> There should also be a Win8 mode with in a corner button that pops up a whole-screen-covering box with all the settings laid out in tiles of color
[03:33:00] <chromas> April 1 coming up
[03:33:33] <Fnord666> good night TheMightyBuzzard

[03:57:20] <Bytram> pinchy: Another method for moderation. See a comment you want to moderate? Open that comment (and its children if it has any) in a separate browser tab, go to that tab, select your moderation, slick the "Moderate" button, and then close the tab; then simply return to the page that you started from.
[04:00:08] <Bytram> How to open just that comment and its children? In the comment header is a number in parentheses. As an example, it would be the link (#954537) that you see for this comment titled "Vicious Beasts!" https://soylentnews.org

[14:39:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> That headline was hard for my brain to parse.
[14:40:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> Maybe I haven't had enough caffeine yet.
[14:42:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, that's a completely redundant statement
[14:50:47] <chopchop1> theres never enuf caffeine eh?
[15:14:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> not so much that as caffeine and enough don't even make sense together

[15:14:59] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org - Caffeine - Wikipedia
[15:15:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's like asking how many black holes are there whose favorite color is orange
[15:16:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> "The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on individual sensitivity, but is estimated to be 150–200 milligrams per kilogram (2.2 lb) of body mass (75–100 cups of coffee for a 70 kg (150 lb) adult)."

[19:25:53] <chromas> "Wind Turbine Blades Can’t Be Recycled, So They’re Piling Up in Landfills"
[19:26:04] <chromas> "A wind turbine’s blades can be longer than a Boeing 747 wing, so at the end of their lifespan they can’t just be hauled away. First, you need to saw through the lissome fiberglass using a diamond-encrusted industrial saw to create three pieces small enough to be strapped to a tractor-trailer."
[19:26:36] <chromas> That's funny; do the blades grow longer over time or something? How do they bring them to the site without cutting them up?
