09:21 <luke-jr_> aww
09:21 <luke-jr_> Lucifer_arma: how about you?
09:22 <Lucifer_arma> how about me?
09:22 <luke-jr_> teach spidey about DPI
09:22 <luke-jr_> he thinks its just a setting he can stick an arbitrary number in
09:22 <Lucifer_arma> the Double Penetration Interrogation method?
09:22 <Lucifer_arma> teaching is like sex. You dont' do it to the unwilling.
09:23 <luke-jr_> I don't care how you teach him about Dots Per Inch
09:23 <luke-jr_> * Checking /usr/share/fonts/100dpi for useless files ... [ ok ]
09:23 <luke-jr_> wtf
09:23 <Lucifer_arma> it found your pr0n collection
09:24 <luke-jr_> the non-existent one?
09:25 * wrtlprnft will only teach him that dpi is a dumb unit
09:25 <Lucifer_arma> http://www.txptk.org/ <--- another Drupal site
09:25 <luke-jr_> ...
09:26 <luke-jr_> DPI is a ratio, not a unit =p
09:26 <Lucifer_arma> so you'll teach hiim that DPI is just like meters?
09:26 <Lucifer_arma> so km/hour isn't a unit?
09:26 <luke-jr_> no, it's a ratio =p
09:26 <Lucifer_arma> "You see officer, mph isn't really a unit, therefore you can't give me a ticket"
09:26 <luke-jr_> lol
09:26 <wrtlprnft> x_X
09:27 <Lucifer_arma> units can be ratios, all a ratio is a relationship of a part to a whole
09:27 <arctanx> a mile is a unit, an hour is a unit, miles per hours is just a combination of them
09:27 <luke-jr_> ok luci, you'd know better on this one
09:27 <Lucifer_arma> it is the number of miles divided by the number of hours and is a rate of change
09:28 <Lucifer_arma> <luke-jr_> ok luci, you'd know better on this one <--- does luke need to see a doctor????
09:28 <arctanx> rate of change of distance with respect to time eh ;)
09:28 <luke-jr_> just because you're wrong often doesn't mean you're always wrong
09:29 <Lucifer_arma> oh, it's wordpress, not drupal
09:29 <wrtlprnft> still, dpi is a dumb whatever as it is derived from inches
09:29 <wrtlprnft> and it's dumb to use on pixel- based screens as well
09:29 <Lucifer_arma> actually, it's wrong to use on pixel-based screens
09:29 <luke-jr_> wrtlprnft: a pixel is a dot on the screen
09:29 <Lucifer_arma> the correct unit on screens is PPI
09:30 <Vanhayes> #quote add "ok luci, you'd know better on this one" -- luke-jr
09:30 <armabot> Vanhayes: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
09:30 <luke-jr_> Lucifer_arma: on screens, pixel=dot
09:30 <Vanhayes> bah
09:30 <wrtlprnft> luke-jr_: no
09:30 <luke-jr_> give an example where DPI isn't PPI =p
09:30 <wrtlprnft> luke-jr_: windows
09:30 <luke-jr_> Not only Windows disagrees with you, but X does too
09:30 <Lucifer_arma> if I counted my red, green, and blue dots separately
09:30 <GodTodd> When the Windows setting is used to increase the resolution from 96 DPI to 120 DPI, it is compensating for the smaller pixels, and therefore everything is larger. <----- nope, can't change it :P
09:31 <luke-jr_> resolution: 103x110 dots per inch
09:31 <luke-jr_> (xdpyinfo)
09:32 <Lucifer_arma> just because they use it doesn't mean it's correct
09:33 <Lucifer_arma> I mean, look at those guys in europe using Kg to weigh people
09:33 <wrtlprnft> data:text/html,<p style="font-size:30pt">Hi there!</p><p style="30px">Hi there!</p>
09:33 <luke-jr_> hm, xorg-x11 7.1 was unmasked it seems?
09:33 <wrtlprnft> Lucifer_arma: what's wrong with that?
09:33 <luke-jr_> Kg is a dumb unit
09:34 <GodTodd> Lucifer_arma: as opposed to america where we just measure our narcotics that way ;)
09:34 <luke-jr_> wrtlprnft: pt is inch-based, you know
09:34 <wrtlprnft> luke-jr_: yeah
09:34 <wrtlprnft> then you can calculate its size
09:34 <wrtlprnft> #g 30pt in in
09:34 <armabot> Google's calculator didn't come up with anything.
09:34 <wrtlprnft> #g 30 points in inch
09:34 <armabot> 30 PostScript points = 0.416666667 inch
09:34 <luke-jr_> 30/72
09:34 <luke-jr_> inches
09:35 <luke-jr_> #g 30/72
09:35 <armabot> 30 / 72 = 0.416666667
09:35 <wrtlprnft> same
09:35 <wrtlprnft> now you can measure it
09:35 <luke-jr_> yep
09:35 <luke-jr_> I already can measure it
09:35 <wrtlprnft> it probably won't fit exactly
09:35 <luke-jr_> ...
09:35 <luke-jr_> it will for me =p
09:35 <Lucifer_arma> wrtlprnft: you know why nobody knows what the mass unit in the imperial system is?
09:35 <wrtlprnft> i mean, take a ruler and hold it to your screen
09:35 <luke-jr_> I actually configured my X server
09:35 <Lucifer_arma> nobody knows it because it's useless :)
09:35 <luke-jr_> wrtlprnft: yes
09:35 <wrtlprnft> nope
09:36 <luke-jr_> ...
09:36 <wrtlprnft> #g 0.416666667 inch in cm
09:36 <armabot> 0.416666667 inch = 1.05833333 centimeters
09:36 <Lucifer_arma> #g 1 kilogram in pound
09:36 <armabot> 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pound
09:37 <luke-jr_> #g 72 points in inches
09:37 * Lucifer_arma wishes he remembered the mass unit in the imperial system, we talked about it in calc 2.
09:37 <armabot> 72 PostScript points = 1 inches
09:37 <wrtlprnft> on my screen 30pt are 0.8cm
09:37 <luke-jr_> wrtlprnft: then your X server is misconfigured
09:37 <wrtlprnft> size units just don't make any sense on screens
09:38 <wrtlprnft> pixel- based screens that is
09:38 <luke-jr_> sure they do
09:38 <GodTodd> http://www.exeter.ac.uk/cimt/dictunit/dictunit.htm#UK
09:38 <luke-jr_> pixel units don't make sense because they vary in size
09:38 <wrtlprnft> size as in length
09:38 <wrtlprnft> luke-jr_: which is a good thing
09:38 <luke-jr_> in Section "Monitor", you need to set DisplaySize <width> <height>
09:38 <luke-jr_> no
09:38 <wrtlprnft> what's <width>?
09:39 <luke-jr_> viewable display width in millimetres
09:39 <wrtlprnft> metres, centimetres, millimetres, decimetres, kilometres, ...?
09:39 <wrtlprnft> ah
09:39 <luke-jr_> when DisplaySize is present, X will calculate the correct DPI
09:39 <luke-jr_> in my case, 103x110
09:39 <luke-jr_> apparently I have non-square pixels =p
09:40 <GodTodd> well..opposites attract ;)
09:40 <luke-jr_> ...
09:40 <luke-jr_> true, but I don't see the application O.o
09:40 <GodTodd> look up...or you'll miss it
09:41 <Lucifer_arma> I don't get why SI units are supposed to be better than imperial units. It's just one arbitrary system vs another.
09:41 <wrtlprnft> well, i need to restart my x11 anyways
09:41 <luke-jr_> who said anything about opposites?
09:41 <GodTodd> i did
09:41 <GodTodd> duh
09:41 <wrtlprnft> as i just changed my locale
09:41 <luke-jr_> so measure your monitor's viewing area first
09:41 <luke-jr_> so your DPI is corrected
09:41 <wrtlprnft> did
09:41 <luke-jr_> then adjust all your font sizes to what you *really* want =p
09:42 <wrtlprnft> 60 DisplaySize 285 214
09:42 <wrtlprnft> font sizes should be in pixels.
09:42 <luke-jr_> nothing should be in pixels
09:42 <wrtlprnft> blah
09:42 <luke-jr_> pixels are just a technicality that nobody should need to mess with =p
09:42 <wrtlprnft> in your world.
09:42 <arctanx> Lucifer_arma: if I'm writing a program I'd prefer to take someone's height in metres than feet/inches ;)
09:42 <Lucifer_arma> well, I'd like to be able to set a scale. I like big things
09:43 <wrtlprnft> i'm mostly doing this for things like oo.org
09:43 <luke-jr_> yes, but a scale is a scale =p
09:43 <wrtlprnft> then i can have a 1:1 preview :P
09:43 <luke-jr_> scales work best in percentages, IMO
09:43 <Lucifer_arma> arctanx: I'll admit having a decimal system is useful when programming, but you still have to do conversions to presentable units
09:43 <wrtlprnft> luke-jr_: actually, how does X11 know that all my pixels are the same size?
09:44 <Lucifer_arma> so you make your internal atomic unit one thing and convert input to it, convert from it to something presentable
09:44 <arctanx> a base 10 system and with the notable exception of the kilogram, indisputable values for the units are the main features of SI
09:44 <luke-jr_> wrtlprnft: that's a basic assumption any platform makes
09:44 <luke-jr_> arctanx: base 10 sucks
09:44 <Lucifer_arma> you just have to base your internal system on that unit is all, and even then the choice is still arbitrary
09:45 <Lucifer_arma> the only thing I find really annoying is that gallons and tons are different sizes in US vs UK
09:45 <Lucifer_arma> if they're not the same size, they shouldn't have the same name!
09:45 <luke-jr_> gallon is part of a binary measuring system
09:45 <wrtlprnft> luke-jr_: what sucks about base 10?
09:45 <wrtlprnft> easy to calculate with
09:46 <luke-jr_> wrtlprnft: not at all
09:46 <GodTodd> it's not in the bible
09:46 <GodTodd> heh
09:46 <Lucifer_arma> it's only easy to calculate with because that's how you've learned it
09:46 <wrtlprnft> i can convert millimetres to metres on a glance
09:46 <luke-jr_> base 2, 6, and 16 are easier
09:46 <Lucifer_arma> if you had been raised to do math with base 6, you'd think that was easier
09:46 <luke-jr_> wrtlprnft: you can do that with a base 16 unit too
09:46 <wrtlprnft> luke-jr_: well, if you write it in base 16
09:46 <luke-jr_> 0x1000 / 0x10 = 0x100
09:46 <Lucifer_arma> so? So it's a system of units that are all based on the same arbitrary base
09:46 <luke-jr_> no reason not to
09:47 <Lucifer_arma> I can convert inches to feet and back on a glance
09:47 * luke-jr_ uses base 6 when counting on his fingers
09:47 <Lucifer_arma> feet are more useful because 1 foot is divisble by 2, 3, 4, and 6 inches
09:47 <wrtlprnft> anyways, the "H" in "Hi there!" is still only 8 millimetres high
09:49 <wrtlprnft> Lucifer_arma: one metre is divisible into 2, 4, 8, 5, 25, 125. 10, 50, 150, 20, 100, 500 millimetres
09:49 * wrtlprnft wonders why you guys love percentages so much
09:49 <Lucifer_arma> 1 millimeter is too small to be useful for daily use
09:49 <wrtlprnft> why don't you have something where 360% = 1
09:50 <wrtlprnft> Lucifer_arma: really?
09:50 <Lucifer_arma> really. I never measure anything that small
09:50 <Lucifer_arma> not even my dick!
09:50 * wrtlprnft looks at his pen. it has the size of its tip printed on it in millimetres
09:50 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, but I don't measure it, I write with it.
09:51 <wrtlprnft> and for anything big it's still useful to have millimetres around
09:51 <Lucifer_arma> I only care about the lead sizes in my pencils because I need to buy replacements
09:51 <wrtlprnft> there ya go
09:51 <wrtlprnft> it's in mm here too
09:51 <Lucifer_arma> when I was cutting rotors and drums in the brake shop, we measured in thousandths of an inch
09:52 <wrtlprnft> wouldn't it be way more handy to measure it in 12^(-3) of an inch?
09:52 <wrtlprnft> #g 12^3
09:52 <armabot> 12^3 = 1,728
09:52 <Lucifer_arma> no, because you're dealing with sizes that are for the most part too small to distinguish without something to help you
09:53 <Lucifer_arma> and that something is a fairly expensive precision measuring device, which you'd need no matter what units you were using
09:53 <wrtlprnft> #g .001 inch in mm
09:53 <armabot> .001 inch = 0.0254 millimeters
09:54 <wrtlprnft> i have something that can measure to that precision
09:54 <wrtlprnft> not that expensive
09:54 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, but it's not your eyes, is it?
09:54 <wrtlprnft> no
09:54 <Lucifer_arma> my eyes can measure 1 inch accurately enough for most of my daily needs
09:54 <wrtlprnft> i don't measure anything with my eyes
09:54 <wrtlprnft> then i don't measure it at all
09:54 <Lucifer_arma> you never take an eyeball measurement?
09:54 <wrtlprnft> if i do i don't have any units for it
09:55 <Lucifer_arma> you never look and say "looks like I need about <some amount> of rope"
09:55 <wrtlprnft> no
09:55 <Lucifer_arma> or "I need <some amount> of cat-5"
09:55 <Lucifer_arma> then go to the store and buy it?
09:55 <wrtlprnft> i take a measuring tape and know i need *exactly* that much
09:55 <wrtlprnft> then i'm sure i have the right amount
09:56 <Lucifer_arma> there's not usually any "exactly" about it, it's always "I need at least this much to cover <this area>, then probably a couple of extra feet to deal with <some other thing that can't be reasonably measured>"
09:56 <wrtlprnft> yeah, well
09:56 <wrtlprnft> if it's like that i can do that in metres too
09:58 <Lucifer_arma> well, no doubt that if I grew up in such an environment, I'd agree, but I'm quite competent with imperial units and besides arithmetic, I don't see what makes SI better
09:58 <wrtlprnft> it's used by about everyone but americans?
09:58 <Lucifer_arma> otoh, I find a foot to be a very useful measurement. In fact, both feet and inches can be easily measured without any special tools to an acceptable level of accuracy for daily use
09:59 <wrtlprnft> umm, i can measure metres no problem
09:59 <Lucifer_arma> "everybody's doing it" is *not* a reason for me to do something
09:59 <wrtlprnft> an a centimetre is about the width of my thumb
09:59 <Lucifer_arma> well, I can easily pace off feet
09:59 <Lucifer_arma> an an inch is about the length of the top two parts of my middle finger
10:00 <wrtlprnft> from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my small finger it's 20cm
10:00 <wrtlprnft> if i spread my hand, that is
10:00 <Lucifer_arma> I wouldn't object to switching over to SI units in the US, to be honest. I object to the snobbery some of you people throw about SI units.
10:01 <wrtlprnft> :P
10:02 <Lucifer_arma> I wouldn't want to lose a foot as a measurement, though, because it's so damn useful.
10:02 <wrtlprnft> well, first of all, the modern definition of a yard is a fraction of a metre
10:03 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, those definitions came into place during WWII when it was necessary to make some sense out of the differences in units, or so I hear
10:03 <wrtlprnft> err
10:03 <wrtlprnft> The international yard is equal to 0.9144 metres. The definition of the international yard was agreed by the United States and the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations in 1958.
10:03 <wrtlprnft> wikipedia
10:03 <Lucifer_arma> the US and UK had to straighten out their differences
10:03 <wrtlprnft> 1958 isn't WWII
10:04 <Lucifer_arma> <Lucifer_arma> yeah, those definitions came into place during WWII when it was necessary to make some sense out of the differences in units, ***or so I hear***
10:04 <Lucifer_arma> and just because the agreement was reached in 1958 doesn't mean the problem wasn't found in 1941
10:05 * wrtlprnft thinks they should have decided to make one yard exactly one metre
10:05 * Lucifer_arma notes that a US/UK agreement could have been reached in 1942 in order to bomb the hell out of germany which still would have required the rest of the commonwealth to agree to it, and that could have easily taken ~20 years to work out
10:06 <wrtlprnft> that's kinda slow
10:06 * Lucifer_arma agrees they should have made 1 yard exactly one meter, and that they should have gone ahead and stretch a foot and stuff
10:06 <Lucifer_arma> not for measurements
10:06 <Lucifer_arma> SI hasn't been in use since the beginning of time, it took time for it to be adopted
10:06 <Lucifer_arma> even in France, and it was invented there :)
10:07 <GodTodd> in 1799
10:07 <wrtlprnft> well, of course, if you define a yard to be 1 metre, then a foot would be 3^(-1)m
10:07 <GodTodd> but it took a while to find a meter because of the official definition
10:07 <GodTodd> The unit of length was the metre which was defined as being one ten-millionth part of a quarter of the earth's circumference.
10:07 <Lucifer_arma> in 1799? and Jules Vernes, a frenchman, was writing with english units in the late 1800s?
10:07 <wrtlprnft> GodTodd: that was a while ago
10:08 <GodTodd> ummm yeah....200 years give or take
10:08 <GodTodd> that's a bit
10:08 <wrtlprnft> then they had some metal stick in france that was defined to be exactly one metre
10:08 <wrtlprnft> and then they decided to base it on the speed of light in vacuum
10:08 <Lucifer_arma> so they kept changing it?
10:08 <Lucifer_arma> heh
10:08 <GodTodd> yep
10:08 <Lucifer_arma> actually, I understand why they kept changing it. :)
10:08 <wrtlprnft> Lucifer_arma: well, as physics advanced you needed a more accurate definition
10:09 <wrtlprnft> 200 years ago they didn't have a good measure of the speed of light
10:09 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, you need something to calibrate your metering tools
10:09 <wrtlprnft> though there's still a master kilogram piece somewhere in france
10:10 <GodTodd> but then...that is arbitrarily agreed upon as a kg
10:10 <GodTodd> how do we know it really is?
10:10 <Lucifer_arma> those master thingees are probably all still kicking around, just not used anymore
10:10 <wrtlprnft> well, one kilogram = about the mass of 1m^3 water
10:10 <Lucifer_arma> seawater?
10:11 <Lucifer_arma> river water?
10:11 <GodTodd> and how do we know that the meter is correctly defined?
10:11 <wrtlprnft> Lucifer_arma: the master kg is still the official definition
10:11 <Lucifer_arma> really?
10:11 <Lucifer_arma> hope they didn't use anything radioactive when they built it
10:11 <wrtlprnft> haha
10:11 <GodTodd> heh....we can take down all of europe
10:11 <GodTodd> shave a bit off the master kg piece
10:11 <GodTodd> :)
10:12 <wrtlprnft> The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of one litre of pure water at standard atmospheric pressure and at the temperature at which water has its maximum density (3.98 degrees Celsius).
10:12 <GodTodd> throw all weights and measures into chaos
10:12 <wrtlprnft> Since 1889, the SI system defines the unit to be equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram, which is made from an alloy of platinum and iridium of 39 mm height and diameter, and is kept at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures
10:12 <GodTodd> ok...so show me the liter is defined correctly :)
10:12 <Lucifer_arma> why not define it as a frozen piece of pure water? heh
10:12 <GodTodd> i could go on like this for hours :)
10:12 <wrtlprnft> GodTodd: litre is defined by metres
10:12 <wrtlprnft> and metres are defined by the speed of light and seconds
10:12 <GodTodd> and i've already called meters into question
10:13 <wrtlprnft> and seconds are defined by themselves
10:13 <GodTodd> and the validity of the measure of seconds?
10:13 <Lucifer_arma> basically, the difference between SI and imperial is that SI is built to be internally consistent, and imperial is built to be widely practical
10:13 <wrtlprnft> Under the International System of Units, the second is currently defined as the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom. This definition refers to a caesium atom at rest at a temperature of 0 K.
10:13 <Lucifer_arma> what we use here in the US has evolved over a long period of time dating all the way back to the ROman empire
10:13 <GodTodd> and the validity of temperature measurements?
10:14 <GodTodd> :)
10:14 <wrtlprnft> GodTodd: 0K is the absolute 0
10:14 <Lucifer_arma> I've been wondering every since I learned the laws of refrigeration how you can use the changing state of water to define temperature
10:14 <wrtlprnft> doesn't need to have a unit
10:14 <GodTodd> and 'at rest' implies speed (or lack of) so what's the validity of speed measurements?
10:15 <Lucifer_arma> actually it's the absense of heat/energy
10:15 * Lucifer_arma starts his physics class Monday :)
10:15 <Lucifer_arma> *first physics class
10:16 <Lucifer_arma> the algebra-based one, that is
10:16 <GodTodd> all i'm saying is its all pretty arbitrary....some dudes a long time ago decided we should measure shit a certain way and we've been fixing it ever since ;)
10:16 <Lucifer_arma> they're both arbitrary systems, that's the point. :)
10:16 <GodTodd> yep
10:17 <Lucifer_arma> all's I'm saying is that feet and inches are useful measurements of distance, even if the conversions look silly
10:17 <GodTodd> si is no more valid than the correct one :)
10:17 <Lucifer_arma> I do think teaspoons/tablespoons are pretty silly, but their still useful increments
10:17 <Lucifer_arma> *they're
10:18 <GodTodd> anyway...
10:18 <GodTodd> #night
10:18 <armabot> Good night GodTodd!
10:19 <Vanhayes> hmm why is there a lod bugfarm?
10:19 <Lucifer_arma> they want to find bugs in arma?
10:20 <wrtlprnft> probably not
10:20 <Vanhayes> I used the bug call but I m not expecting it to be noticed
10:20 <wrtlprnft> z-man should make bugfarm a trademark :P
10:21 <Vanhayes> probly just trying to steal some of the popularity of it
10:21 <Lucifer_arma> what do you expect from clanboys anyway?
10:21 <wrtlprnft> no good servers in use right now :s
10:22 <wrtlprnft> ctwf is empty, 4team fortress too, and my servers as well
10:22 <wrtlprnft> and i won't go on a lod server that claims to be bugfarm
10:23 * wrtlprnft almost expects to see a ŁØÐ|z-man on it
10:23 <wrtlprnft> fake of course
10:24 <Vanhayes> heh
10:24 * Vanhayes is tempted
10:24 <wrtlprnft> i wonder if they would kick him if he joined under that name
10:24 <wrtlprnft> "you're not in our clan, get rid of the tag or never play arma again"
10:25 <Vanhayes> hmm actually if they can steal a name I can steal their tags right?
10:25 <wrtlprnft> exactly
10:27 <wrtlprnft> --> sucks <-- renamed to ŁØÐ|sucks.

14:14 <wrtlprnft_> ?
14:15 <Vanhayes> they #last
14:15 <spidey> no?
14:15 <spidey> i had to reboot
14:15 <Vanhayes> ryes?
14:15 <spidey> -_-
14:15 <spidey> no...
14:15 <Vanhayes> but all it showed is what you just said
14:15 <spidey> duh
14:15 <spidey> it's bnc
14:16 <spidey> even when i'm not online my name will still be in here
14:16 <wrtlprnft_> but you don't keep logs?
14:16 <wrtlprnft_> that's useless
14:16 -!- You're now known as wrtlprnft
14:16 <Vanhayes> yes but you cant say anything and since you said something you were here
14:16 <spidey> mkzelda, hasn't told me how to log yet :p
14:16 <Vanhayes> and all that did was repeat what you just said
14:16 <spidey> besides i'd have to ssh to view logs
14:17 <spidey> that's alot of work :p
14:17 <wrtlprnft> so if i wake you you won't even read it
14:17 * wrtlprnft won't talk to spidey anymore.
14:17 <spidey> Vanhayes, shut it, i was seeing if anyone said anything after i left
14:17 <Vanhayes> #realchatlogs --- much better
14:17 <armabot> Vanhayes: http://master3.armagetronad.net/armalogs/
14:17 <wrtlprnft> lol
14:18 <wrtlprnft> Vanhayes: if they don't happen to print every line twice ;)
14:18 <Vanhayes> well yes
14:18 <spidey> then i'd have to open a webbroser yadayada
14:18 <Vanhayes> and if thry actually write anything down at all
14:18 <spidey> ...#last --nolimit is much better for a short log
14:18 <spidey> :)
14:19 <Vanhayes> spidey: are you using x-chat2?
14:19 <spidey> what's that got to do with anything?
14:19 <Vanhayes> cause all you have to do to keep a log is click a buttom
14:19 <Vanhayes> button*
14:19 <spidey> um
14:19 <spidey> dude
14:19 <spidey> the point is i WASN'T connect
14:19 <spidey> i can't view logs when my client is connected now can i?
14:20 <Vanhayes> wrtlprnft_> but you don't keep logs?
14:20 <Vanhayes> <spidey> mkzelda, hasn't told me how to log yet :p
14:20 <spidey> ....
14:20 <spidey> that's for the bnc
14:20 <spidey> NOT MY CLIENT
14:20 <spidey> god
14:20 <Vanhayes> I LIKE CAPS TOO
14:20 <wrtlprnft> what's the point of bnc if you can't read what's happening?
14:21 <spidey> i can, just haven't bothered -_-
14:21 <wrtlprnft> then you might as well log out of IRC
14:21 <wrtlprnft> out of freenode
14:21 <wrtlprnft> and screw bnc or whatever
14:21 <spidey> no
14:21 <Vanhayes> anyway my point was that when you did #last --nolimit that time it was completely pointless
14:21 <wrtlprnft> get an ssh account and run irssi in a screen.
14:21 <spidey> because it's more simple to just connect to the bnc and be here
14:21 <wrtlprnft> ?
14:21 <spidey> instead of connecting
14:21 <wrtlprnft> what's simple about that
14:21 <spidey> identifing
14:21 <spidey> simple
14:22 <wrtlprnft> get your IRC client to identify for you
14:22 <spidey> .../server venture.quadspeedi.net 65000
14:22 <wrtlprnft> mine does
14:22 <spidey> then i'm in this room
14:22 <wrtlprnft> well
14:22 <wrtlprnft> i'm in this room before i login
14:22 <spidey> so am i :)
14:22 <wrtlprnft> and if i start irssi manually it automatically puts me in here
14:23 <spidey> why does everyone bitch about what i do?
14:23 <Vanhayes> mine does that too and identifys me at the same time
14:23 <wrtlprnft> and i will see my hilights unless i timed out and someone wrote them while i was already gone
14:23 * Vanhayes bitches at spidey
14:23 <spidey> it's my shell i'll run what i want on it
14:23 <spidey> -_-
14:23 * wrtlprnft bitches at soidey because it's fun
14:23 <Vanhayes> spidey: people bitch at you because luke-jr_ isnt here right now
14:23 <wrtlprnft> well, zombies are annoying
14:23 <wrtlprnft> you don't know if the person will actually see what you write, it's annoying
14:24 * Vanhayes pokes luke-jr_
14:24 <wrtlprnft> "bnc is nonstandard"
14:24 <wrtlprnft> that's what you'll hear from luke-jr_
14:24 <spidey> psh
14:24 <wrtlprnft> or, "bnc is a hack", which it is
14:24 <spidey> "luke_jr_ is nonstandard"
14:24 <spidey> no it's not
14:24 <spidey> bnc is a keep alive proxy
14:25 <wrtlprnft> what's the use?
14:25 <spidey> well
14:25 <wrtlprnft> get a good IRC client and screw bnc

14:25 <spidey> mine's bnc
14:25 <spidey> now leave me alone
14:26 * wrtlprnft has a need to keep annoying spidey

20:30 <luke-jr_> you can't do that yourself?
20:30 <luke-jr_> btw, if you're getting voip, be sure they don't give you locked crap
20:31 <spidey> well i could
20:31 <spidey> but i want them here
20:31 <spidey> so i can bitch about the shitty internet and they won't say no to fixing it :)
20:32 <spidey> $56 a month for something that's quality is less than dsl
20:32 <luke-jr_> expensive
20:32 <luke-jr_> =p
20:32 <luke-jr_> do you have cable TV?
20:32 <spidey> hell, i'd rather have a 200 or so ping steady rather than a one that's 60 one minute then 200+ the next
20:32 <spidey> no
20:32 <spidey> i have sat.
20:32 <spidey> dish ;x
20:32 <luke-jr_> ask how much the total is if you add basic cable TV
20:32 <luke-jr_> sometimes it's less
20:32 <spidey> fuck that
20:33 <spidey> fuck them too
20:33 <luke-jr_> I didn't say use it
20:33 <DrJoeTron> i pay $15 for dsl
20:33 <spidey> when bellsouth is in my area next month i'm switching
20:33 <luke-jr_> sometimes they charge extra for no-TV
20:33 <luke-jr_> so, internet+TV = $40 but internet only is $50
20:33 <spidey> DrJoeTron, i'll pay $47 or so for a 6mbit :)
20:33 <DrJoeTron> sweet deal
20:34 <spidey> bellsouth
20:34 <DrJoeTron> mines 2mbit
20:34 <spidey> O.o
20:34 <DrJoeTron> we talked them down
20:34 <spidey> heh
20:34 <DrJoeTron> threatening to leave is great
20:34 <spidey> i'm not gonna bitch about $47 for 6mbit :p
20:34 <spidey> DrJoeTron, i tried that
20:34 <DrJoeTron> they sort of owed us
20:34 <wrtlprnft> i pay 40€ for 16MBit
20:34 <spidey> only charter's the only highspeed cable provider in my area
20:34 <DrJoeTron> considering they fucked us over
20:34 <spidey> untill september
20:34 <spidey> then i'm switching
20:34 <spidey> -_-
20:35 <DrJoeTron> wow thats like..43 USD?
20:35 <spidey> wrtlprnft, places out side of the us don't count :p
20:35 <wrtlprnft> #g EUR 40 in usd
20:35 <armabot> Google's calculator didn't come up with anything.
20:35 <spidey> u.s has shitty internet
20:35 <spidey> it's a known fact :p
20:35 <wrtlprnft> #g 40 euros in USD
20:35 <armabot> 40 Euros = 51.38800 U.S. dollars
20:35 <DrJoeTron> haha, that means its free here
20:35 <DrJoeTron> damn
20:35 <DrJoeTron> wow i didnt know our inflation was so high
20:35 <wrtlprnft> not that i really have a use for 16MBit
20:35 <DrJoeTron> my god thats sad
20:36 <spidey> wrtlprnft, i do, lemme have it
20:36 <wrtlprnft> but the .8MBit upstream is nice :)
20:36 <spidey> :o
20:36 <spidey> .8?
20:36 <spidey> that's it :p
20:36 <spidey> well

20:39 <DrJoeTron> thats a waste
20:39 <spidey> well
20:39 <spidey> lets see
20:39 <spidey> $56 for cable
20:39 <DrJoeTron> see that its a waste
20:39 <spidey> $5 for a shell
20:39 <spidey> $40 for the other stuff
20:40 <DrJoeTron> whats the "other" stuff
20:40 <spidey> hell i'd have a faster internet and host my own stuff

20:41 <spidey> 15 Mbps/2 Mbps $44.95 - $49.95
20:42 <spidey> infact, that's cheaper o.o
20:43 <DrJoeTron> man
20:43 <DrJoeTron> blue host is like 7 bucks a month for web hosting
20:43 <spidey> mine's $9
20:43 <spidey> plus i get shell access
20:43 <spidey> ;x
20:43 <DrJoeTron> so does the rest of the world
20:43 <spidey> and webhosts who don't know what they're doing
20:43 <spidey> the rest of the world got that?
20:43 <spidey> ;x
20:43 <DrJoeTron> i need to switch web hosts
20:44 <DrJoeTron> i got fucked over for the last time
20:44 <DrJoeTron> directories i used all of the time are now cut off
20:44 <luke-jr_> I've seen webhosts for $5/mo
20:44 <DrJoeTron> yeah thats what Mine was
20:44 <luke-jr_> I don't see any way to compete or I'd do it
20:44 <wrtlprnft> ?
20:44 <DrJoeTron> now its like 8
20:44 <wrtlprnft> there's webhosts for less than a buch a month here
20:44 <spidey> $5?
20:44 <DrJoeTron> brb
20:44 <DrJoeTron> yeah mine was 5 bucks
20:44 <wrtlprnft> *buck
20:44 <spidey> i'm sure you don't get tech support, mysql, or other stuff
20:44 <spidey> :p
20:44 <luke-jr_> DrJoeTron: I'll host your website on hachi for $?/mo =p
20:45 <DrJoeTron> i sure did
20:45 <wrtlprnft> luke-jr_: $?/mo?
20:45 <DrJoeTron> sure do*
20:45 <DrJoeTron> 3 gigs of space and 25guigs of bw
20:45 <DrJoeTron> brb
20:45 <DrJoeTron> /away
20:45 <luke-jr_> wrtlprnft: yeah, depends on what he needs =p
20:45 <spidey> DrJoeTron, for $9 i get unmetered bw and 5gigs
20:45 <spidey> plus the hosts don't know what they're doing so i get ssh for whatever
20:45 <spidey> :p
20:46 <luke-jr_> you assume unmetered
20:46 <DrJoeTron> i dont even go past a GIG
20:46 <spidey> i know
20:46 <spidey> if it wasn't my bw usage wouldn't sit at 0mb
20:46 <luke-jr_> it could
20:46 <luke-jr_> if they use something else to meter it
20:47 <spidey> oh well
20:47 <spidey> they said upto 5gigs
20:47 <spidey> so i'm fine
20:47 <luke-jr_> heh
20:47 <luke-jr_> 5 gigs bw isn't too much, depending on the site
20:47 <spidey> i figured since it wasn't keeping track they're not metering it
20:47 <spidey> luke-jr_, for mine it is
20:47 <spidey> mbc only uses like 500mb
20:47 <spidey> i think micro said
20:47 <spidey> and it gets alot of traffic
20:47 <luke-jr_> DrJoeTron: what kind of website?
20:48 <spidey> DrJoeTron, if you want i could give you a ftp account :p
20:48 <spidey> only 3gigs left
20:48 <luke-jr_> "only"

21:22 <spidey> there's a /nick command to
21:22 <spidey> ;x
21:23 <wrtlprnft> won't help
21:23 <spidey> sure it will
21:23 <wrtlprnft> you'd be the only one haunting me, and my /ignore command is smart enough to notice that
21:23 <spidey> well
21:23 <spidey> you could ignore my hostname
21:23 <spidey> then
21:24 <spidey> i'd reconnect my bnc with a new one
