00:28 -!- Sp33dyphil [~chatzilla@wikipedia/Sp33dyphil] has joined #wikipedia-en
00:29 < OlEnglish> so copy whatever content isn't already in the older one and redirect, or delete if it's an unlikely title to be searched for

06:30 < froodonwheels> Fuck this.
06:31 < froodonwheels> My Internet has been out for nearly 12 hours.
06:31 < foks> OH GOD
06:31 < foks> How have you coped
06:32 < froodonwheels> And phone. Guess how people in this house get jobs?
06:33 < ToAruShiroiNeko> wait
06:33 < ToAruShiroiNeko> so you are still... alive
06:33 < ToAruShiroiNeko> I suppose you are abusing your bw right now
06:33 < yuvipanda> Does this pass the notability guideline for catastrophes?
06:34 < froodonwheels> The fact that we pay almost $200 a month and have hours upon hours of down time is upsetting.
06:35 < Susuke_Tamagawa> wow, how many other people get this spotty service? Any way you can change providers?
06:35 < foks> froodonwheels, complain loudly
06:35 < foks> How to achieve anything ever
06:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> a lot of people have a single option for their "fast" internet
06:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> there isnt much room to complain
06:35 < froodonwheels> They monopolise this area.
06:36 < Soapy> hi Frood
06:36 < closedmouth> $200? nice deal you got there
06:36 < ToAruShiroiNeko> 200$ shitty service = win
06:36 < Soapy> susuke: dont know where you live, but
06:36 < ToAruShiroiNeko> at least it isnt over 9000$
06:36 < Soapy> it's pretty common in the USA for high speed Internet service providers to have monopolies or near-monopolies on their service
06:36 < Soapy> if you want to settle for LOW speed, sure, you have plenty of choices
06:37 < Soapy> usually therell be one cable provider, that does TV, Internet, and phone if you really want it
06:37 < Soapy> metro areas and outlying suburbs have DSL, but still usually just one company
06:37 < Soapy> and thats pretty much it
06:37 < froodonwheels> We don't even have a dsl option
06:37 < Soapy> the TV monopoly is much worse of a problem, imo, than the Internet almost-monopoly
06:37 < froodonwheels> It's this, or satellite Internet.
06:38 < Susuke_Tamagawa> But that's mostly because of the cost of putting in underground cables
06:38 < Soapy> but they both lead to higher prices and careless customer service because the company knows youre very unlikely to cancel
06:38 < Susuke_Tamagawa> Is satellite less secure, what's the issue with satellite
06:38 < Soapy> susuke: Im guessing youre not in the USA
06:38 < Soapy> underground cables are pretty rare here
06:38 < Soapy> yes some places have them. like South Florida, because of all the thunderstorms
06:38 < Soapy> maybe in the Midwest too because they also have a lot of thunder
06:39 < Soapy> but the country as whole generally doesnt
06:39 < Susuke_Tamagawa> Now I know, thanks
06:39 < Soapy> oop, I whoised you and you live in the USA
06:39 < foks> Fail'd
06:39 < Susuke_Tamagawa> lol
06:39 < foks> ;)
06:39 < wctaiwan> what's wrong with "failed", foks?
06:40 < Soapy> but underground cables, for power or anything else, are pretty rare generally
06:40 < foks> Es are so mainstram
06:40 < wctaiwan> I suppose the verbification of a noun that's actually a bastardised verb sort of matters...
06:40 < wctaiwan> haha.
06:40 < Soapy> as for satellite Internet, I think it's just slow
06:40 < Soapy> it's a limit of the technology
06:40 < foks> Google Doodle is ace today!
06:40 < Soapy> possibly also unreliable, but I wouldnt know, Ive never used it
06:41 < wctaiwan> ah so that's what bca was referring to.
06:41 < closedmouth> massive latency
06:42 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Soapy everyone should get a fiber connection
06:42 < ToAruShiroiNeko> all tv, phone, internet services should be through it
06:42 < ToAruShiroiNeko> people shouldnt be paying for tv and phone
06:43 < froodonwheels> The phone is voip here.
06:43 < froodonwheels> So no, we shouldn't pay for it.
06:44 < Susuke_Tamagawa> But someone has to
06:44 < Susuke_Tamagawa> and if the government takes over it'll only get worse
06:44 < Soapy> I dont think you can do TV over "fiber"

06:44 < foks> nope

06:45 < froodonwheels> Google, Comcast, et al. do it.
06:45 < Soapy> Comcast is a cable company, I think. Google doing TV is news to me
06:45 < wctaiwan> okay, nope it isn't.
06:45 < Soapy> unless youre thinking of Google TV
06:45 < Soapy> which isnt really TV, in my understanding
06:46 < Soapy> it's just a way to access video files on the Internet
06:46 < Soapy> there's no direct access to any live broadcasts unless the network doing the broadcast chooses to make it available online
06:46 < froodonwheels> Google Fiber
06:46 < foks> My best time is 13 seconds

06:55 < Soapy> how long till dropbox goes down?
06:57 < wctaiwan> probably a long time.
06:58 < wctaiwan> I mean, they can shut down accounts. That's not something torrent trackers can do.
06:59 < Soapy> do they track the name and physical address of their members, so that people could be arrested for uploading pirated software?
06:59 < wctaiwan> probably not, but neither does youtube...
07:00 < Soapy> well most people on youtube have Google accounts, and that requires an email and a phone number
07:00 < Soapy> unless you happened to get in before they added that requirement
07:00 < foks> does it?
07:00 < wctaiwan> Not the latter.
07:00 < foks> It doesn't *require* a phone number
07:00 < wctaiwan> o_O it absolutely requires a phone number now?
07:00 < foks> I don't have a phone and I only got a google account recently
07:00 < wctaiwan> and emai… well, not if you sign up for gmail first
07:00 < Soapy> a new Google/YouTUbe account requires a cell phone number so they can send a text message to confirm your identity
07:01 < wctaiwan> seriously?
07:01 * wctaiwan tries
07:01 < Soapy> lately a lot of sites are doing that
07:01 < foks> I'm sure they can take a second email
07:01 < foks> Not everyone has a mobile phone. As I say, I don't.
07:01 < Soapy> I know
07:01 < foks> I'm waiting on a SIM card.
07:01 < Soapy> I didnt have a cellphone either when I first signed up for gmail
07:01 < Soapy> at least not one with text message capability

07:02 < wctaiwan> nope, doesn't require a cell number
07:02 < wctaiwan> the field is there but it isn't mandatory
07:02 < Soapy> maybe it's a US thing
07:03 < wctaiwan> maybe.
07:03 < Soapy> or they've rescinded the requirement

07:04 < wctaiwan> yes, yes you should >.>
07:04 < foks> These are really really old emails.
07:04 < Soapy> no getting past it. And they specifically wanted to confirm your identity with a text message before they'd let you in
07:04 < wctaiwan> I don't like how much control google has over my digital life, though.
07:05 < Soapy> anyway, I think the solution to getting rid of software piracy on shared sites like Dropbox is to require a name and physical address, and some way to confirm it
07:05 < wctaiwan> ugh crap. I just signed up to test, and now I can't remember what password I typed in XD
07:05 < Soapy> that way anyone who'd upload pirated software would be a fool
07:05 < Qcoder02> Soapy : You think peopel would use thier own address? XD
07:05 < wctaiwan> I would never use a nonessential site that requires that.
07:06 < Soapy> there's ways to make sure people arent using fake addresses
07:06 < Soapy> e.g. if you use your real name but someone else's adress when you sign up for a new cellphone contract, you get an error message saying your identity could not be confirmed
07:06 < wctaiwan> would you seriously want a situation like that?
07:07 < wctaiwan> Software piracy, to me, is a much smaller problem than all the privacy intrusions going on.
07:07 < Soapy> no, I wouldnt like it either, but if the alternative is not having file-sharing sites at all, it's worth it
07:07 < wctaiwan> there's always paid FTP.
07:08 < Qcoder02> Soapy: There are ways to get back at software piracy too

08:50 < wctaiwan> Wenhu line's great though. It passes right next to Songshan Airport. You can see a plane real close if you're lucky.

09:41 < The_Thing> I recorded it straight off of NASA TV myself
09:41 < Qcoder02> So you told them that?
09:41 * Isarra pokes jorm with a mediawiki skin.
09:41 < The_Thing> I told them that it was a work of the U.S. Goverment, which by law is ineligible for copyright protection under Section 105 of the Copyright act
09:42 < Qcoder02> And your account still got penalised?
09:42 < The_Thing> Oh, I just posted teh counterclaim like half an hour ago
09:42 < The_Thing> My account was penalized before that
09:43 < Qcoder02> You should ask YouTube why they are flagging PD material as copyright... ;)
09:43 < The_Thing> Since the same video has had 3 seperate claims against it, I'm presuming
09:43 < BlastHardcheese> uh, perjury only applies to sworn statements given to a justice of the peace, judge, etc.
09:43 < Qcoder02> 3 claims from diffent companies?
09:43 < Qcoder02> Also isn't it an offence under USC to assert you have copyright when you don't?
09:43 < The_Thing> Yes, Fucks News, Reuters, and some Hearst Television Inc.
09:44 < The_Thing> Looks like the Reuter's claim was just cleared though

09:46 < BlastHardcheese> Qcoder02: uh sure you can. Copyright can be jointly held.

10:56 < Tony_Sidaway> Brief mention of temperature changes attributed to the aviation ban here: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-articles/read.main?id=85
10:57 < Tony_Sidaway> But I believe there was a formal study of this, and that's what I was referring to.
10:57 < SoapX> ok
10:58 < SoapX> "Worldwide, contrails are estimated to cover .1% of the Earth’s surface area and that number is forecast to rise to .5% by 20502."
10:58 < SoapX> 20502, eh?
10:58 < SoapX> I guess we're safe for another 18,500 years
10:58 < TeeTylerToe> anyone who has experience in cloud computing is in high demand >.<
10:58 < SoapX> thats probably a copypaste from somewhere that said 2050 with a superscript 2 indicating a footnote
10:59 < SoapX> yeah, definitely
10:59 < Tony_Sidaway> This guy Andrew Carleton of Penn State, who is quoted in the article, seems to be the expert on this: http://www.geog.psu.edu/people/carleton-andrew
10:59 < Wehwalt> Yup, those Penn State climate scientists
11:00 < Tony_Sidaway> Well the only other one I know is the renowned Michael Mann.
11:00 < Tony_Sidaway> But he's a paleo guy. This chap is a physical geographer.
11:01 < TeeTylerToe> so the increase in contrail coverage is predicted to go down by a factor of 100,000?

11:33 < WilliamH_UK> hi BarkingFish
11:33 < WilliamH_UK> you are in germany?
11:33 < BarkingFish> Wait what? you were taking bets on my being back?
11:33 * Fluffernutter maintains that 'crats should be allowed to enforce decorum on RFA
11:33 < SoapX> not really bets, no, because we all agreed youd be back soon
11:33 < Fluffernutter> possibly with whips
11:34 < Tony_Sidaway> WilliamH_UK: they don't make it, but they permit it. Those pages can be controlled completely by the bureaucrats. They can set standards and exclude those who won't behave. And they could interpret discussions using their common sense, and not just count votes.
11:34 < BarkingFish> Yeah, well it's nothing serious, just BA being a bunch of assholes. My flight on monday got delayed. I got moved to fly this morning. Got there and discovered BA hadn't transferred my ******* ticket and wanted to charge me another £349 for the privilege, SoapX
11:34 < Tony_Sidaway> Fluffernutter: they are already empowered to do so.
11:35 < BarkingFish> at which point I told them precisely what to do with their £349 charge, and got removed by security
11:35 < Qcoder02> BarkingFIsh: So you are flying out on a different carrier?
11:35 < Fluffernutter> Tony_Sidaway: they say that a) they're not and b) even if they were, they wouldn't do it
11:35 < WilliamH_UK> Tony_Sidaway again, not true, they don't do any of those things because if we do, we know that we will be considered exercising draconian control over it
11:35 < SoapX> lol
11:35 < SoapX> sorry though
11:36 < Tony_Sidaway> Fluffernutter: exactly. Supine.
11:36 < SoapX> I assumed you were already in Germany and just couldnt wait to get back on IRC
11:36 < Shearonink> removed by security?
11:36 < SoapX> £349 is a lot
11:36 < WilliamH_UK> when someone makes a fallacious !vote at RFA, look at the comments along the lines of "this obviously won't be taken into account", and more to the point, look how many of them are made by noncrats
11:36 < Shearonink> yeah
11:36 < Tony_Sidaway> WilliamH_UK: and draconian control of a process page is a bad thing since _when_?
11:36 < WilliamH_UK> Tony_Sidaway fair point
11:37 < WilliamH_UK> surely depends on a case by case basis though
11:37 < Qcoder02> BarkingFish: Fly out on another carrier... and bill BA for the additional cost I would have said
11:37 * SoapX hugs BarkingFish some more even though it wont get him to Germany any faster
11:37 < WilliamH_UK> BarkingFish how on earth did they try to do that?
11:37 < BarkingFish> Eventually yes, Qcoder02 - the problem I have is that the next available flight I can get out is gonna be over 2 weeks away. Shitloads of people heading to germany.

11:38 < WilliamH_UK> BarkingFish are you on twitter?
11:38 < WilliamH_UK> send a few public tweets to them about it
11:38 < BarkingFish> I was supposed to check that all my arrangements are correct prior to flying - the woman on BA's desk told me "It's not our job to ensure your travel arrangements are correct. That's for you to do."
11:38 < seiyuuEva> ?

11:41 < Shearonink> I would
11:41 < Shearonink> ouch Fish
11:41 < BarkingFish> Qcoder02, no - but their attitude came very close to aggravating their conditions, I can tell you.
11:42 < Shearonink> I'm fond of VirginAmerica, I'd fly it all the time if I could
11:42 < BarkingFish> I was about 5 mins away from punching the woman on the service desk, when security turned up and removed me.
11:42 < Qcoder02> BarkingFish: The thing is not to loose it
11:42 < Shearonink> did you make the nightly news Fish?
11:42 < Tony_Sidaway> Shearonink: that's not really true. There are talk pages, user conduct RFCs and arbitration edit pages.
11:43 < TeeTylerToe> on rfa can admins ask editors question and then block them for answering them?
11:43 < Qcoder02> BarkingFish: Hopefully you aren't now on the No Fly list as potentialy unstable person
11:43 < Shearonink> "almost the only place" is my point
11:43 < BarkingFish> Shearonink, I don't know. There were some guys filming in the terminal, so I may be on the next series of Airline. Who knows.

12:05 < Shearonink> Not everyone has the technology
12:05 < Fasttimes68> what does "camp" mean to you?
12:05 < TeeTylerToe> it wasn't great in 1990

12:06 < Qcoder02> :(
12:06 < Fasttimes68> to us it means a place where kids live in tents or cabins away from the family for a few weeks during summer

12:52 < BarkingFish> SoapX, I'd pass on the corned beef, but I'd sure as hell go with Pastrami as the absolute best filler for any sandwich. Combined with lettuce, onion, tomato and gherkin, a little ranch dressing and slap that lot in a footlong sub, you cannot go wrong.
12:53 < purplebackpack89> BarkingFish: should I ask somewhere else how to fix the Slovakia bk/bk-right template issue? If so, where?
12:54 < BarkingFish> I've no idea, purplebackpack89 - maybe mention it on the talk page?
12:54 < purplebackpack89> of...
12:55 < foks> Pastrami was a bit shit when I had it in the US
12:55 < BarkingFish> the template, purplebackpack89
12:55 < foks> Well, I mean, it was okay
12:55 < foks> but it wasn't the best thing since sliced bread
12:55 < foks> But then I'm a chicken+mayo man (read: boring)
12:55 < SoapX> yes pastrami is good too
12:55 < BarkingFish> if it's something transcluded into the template, mentioning it on the template's talk page will probably lead to someone investigating where it's buggered, and fixing it
12:55 < SoapX> a variant of the reuben sandwich is to use pastrami instead of corned beef, and all other ingredients the same

12:58 < diegogrez> I've got a question re. the WP:Notability guideline

12:59 < diegogrez> Most references about the guy are from the eighties and only some of them are rescued in a Chilean government website. The contemporanean sources are some news articles on his death.

13:01 < SoapX> really?
13:01 < SoapX> lol

13:01 < diegogrez> Anybody? Thank you, thank you...

13:02 < RD> !
13:02 < RD> :)
13:02 < SoapX> they have a way of making their subs not messy
13:02 < diegogrez> :(
13:02 < SoapX> if I tried to make the same sandwich at home, it wouldnt work
13:02 < BarkingFish> foks - there's a trick to it. You get them to wrap the sub nice and tight, so you can rip the top off, eat your way down, and anything that falls out the back, you catch in the wrapping.
13:02 < foks> Ah
13:03 < RD> SoapX: Make a sub, and flush 10 bucks down the toilet
13:03 < foks> Interesting!
13:03 < Tony_Sidaway> SoapX: I think I know what you mean. They're like gigantic sponges (in consistency) whereas domestic bread tends to be crispy and springy.
13:03 < RD> Then it'll be just the same
13:03 < RD> :D
13:03 < SoapX> id never pay $10 for a sandwich
13:03 < RD> I paid 7 today by accident
13:03 < RD> Because I read the sign wrong ... though I think it was intentional.

13:05 < SoapX> it says it's $9.15
13:05 < SoapX> surprisingly low, I thought the pound was almost $2 US
13:05 < Tony_Sidaway> I once worked for Reuters who very kindly paid for all staff (including myself, a contractor) to take lunch at their desks. I had a rather large plate of sushi and a nice big sandwich, and a half litre of orange juice, every day.
13:06 < SoapX> we're still below the Canadian dollar though
13:06 < BarkingFish> so that's a pretty low rate, what's that... about $1.70 to £1?
13:06 < BarkingFish> or less...
13:06 < SoapX> and the Australian dollar!!
13:06 < SoapX> oh the embarrassment. Australia's currency is worth more than ours. Gone are the days of looking at books saying $4.99 US, $9.99 AUS

14:11 < Tony_Sidaway> Have I missed the syncronized swimming? The only sport I really love, but mostly because it's an excuse for half the civilized world to stare at people's crotches without showing a smidgeon of embarrassment.
14:11 < SoapX> but that is not changing my mind about Flash being far superior to HTML 5.0 video formats
14:11 < SoapX> lol
14:11 < foks> flash is shit
14:11 < SoapX> oh come on
14:12 < foks> all flash is good for is bloating your processors
14:12 < Tony_Sidaway> foks: I missed your confirmation. It isn't intended to convey humour, so much as indifference.
14:12 < MartijnH> silverlight FTW!
14:12 < SoapX> Flash is great for games
14:12 < TeeTylerToe> can't html5 use the same video formats?
14:12 < foks> nope
14:12 < foks> html5 is better in every way
14:12 < TeeTylerToe> silverlight is just what a browser like lynx needs
14:12 < foks> Tony_Sidaway, I guessed
14:12 < SoapX> there was a flash game a year or so ago that was a full featured scrolling/zooming Mario platform game
14:12 < MartijnH> TeeTylerToe, sure, it just prints out the bytecode
14:12 < foks> I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to portray, but hoho, a Brit who doesn't like the Olympics, how lovely
14:13 < SoapX> nothing like that is ever going to come from animating fixed-size images in HTML5

14:22 < Qcoder02> There are some Video game series that would probably work well as tabletops...
14:22 < Qcoder02> Halo might
14:22 < GorillaWarfare> I think we need to create "Category:Users who actually have some knowledge of copyright and aren't bumbling around like the rest of us"
14:23 < Qcoder02> but then practically any game series based on quasi-tactical stuff probably could be a tabletop
14:23 < Fluffernutter> GorillaWarfare, i thin kthat category would be populated entirely by Moonriddengirl
14:23 < Tony_Sidaway> Is it true that a lot of the Halo settings owe a lot to Iain M Banks' culture novels? I know nothing about Halo but quite a lot about Banks.
14:23 * GorillaWarfare hunts her down
14:23 < Qcoder02> Not sure
14:25 < Tony_Sidaway> Possibly my favourite game (one that I really enjoyed playing) was a children's game from EA in the early 1990s called Loom. You had to memorise spells, which were composed of musical phrases, in order to progress through the game. It used the same game engine as Monkey Island.

14:51 < mysterytrey> Actually, we need to have it set up to purge automatically after saving in template namespace. Because if the template is purged hours after being vandalized, were kinda-screwed.
14:52 < Tony_Sidaway> Bots are very useful though. How about a web page where you report suspected template vandlism? The bot can investigate and give a list of likely sources of the problem.
14:52 < bobrayner_> maybe I've missed the start of this conversation... but after the last outburst I suggested that we consider fully protecting templates with more than 10000 transclusions or so.
14:52 < Isarra> I thought that was standard practice.
14:52 < bobrayner_> Of course there could be exceptions but most highly-transcluded templates have surprisingly little edit history after a burst of edits in the first week, so it's not as though protection would prevent huge volumes of vital positive changes ;-)
14:53 < Tony_Sidaway> bobrayner_: also a possible approach. ANd yes, it's a common solution.
14:53 < Fluffernutter> Isarra, this is wikipedia. Nothing can be standard practice without a significant cohort of people yelling violently about how it's ALL WRONG
14:53 < jorm> god. my day is going to be all about "wikipediaredefined", isn't it?
14:53 < Tony_Sidaway> There are some templates that are _supposed_ to be changed a lot, but they are mostly in project space and are actively curated.
14:54 < Isarra> >.<
14:54 < Fluffernutter> jorm: but it's so pretty! so full of misunderstanding in spots, too, but so pretty, and some really good ideas!
14:54 < mysterytrey> Isarra: What did you think is standard practice?
14:54 < jorm> what good ideas?
14:54 < Isarra> Protecting widely used templates.
14:54 < SigmaWP> jorm: Make Template space semi'd
14:54 < jorm> i was talking to fluffernutter.
14:55 < jorm> and Template: being semi-protected seems like a no-brainer to me.
14:55 < Isarra> Poor templates.

14:56 * Fluffernutter would murder a baby to get colored syntax
14:56 < mysterytrey> ...
14:56 < mysterytrey> overkill
14:56 < Tony_Sidaway> Wikipedia as an institution is, in my experience, surprisingly good at hitting optimal solutions. I once went through a campaign of challenging long term semiprotections. I don't regret doing that, it's part of being a Wikipedian, but it was surprising how many of the semis turned out to be justified by subsequent events.
14:56 < jorm> there's so many problems with their main page design. they take the most important part of it - language selection - and bury it.
14:56 < mysterytrey> Let's get rid of the main page.
14:56 < Fluffernutter> jorm: the language selection is right in the drop-down!

14:57 < Fluffernutter> http://www.wikipediaredefined.com/img/15.png <--that, right?
14:57 < jorm> anyways. it's typical of firms like this in that they don't really do research about the product.
14:57 < Tony_Sidaway> Fluffernutter: coloured syntax coding is my pet hate. It makes pages illegible to me.
14:57 < jorm> yeah. that'.
14:58 < Finkling> Tony_Sidaway: You suck
14:58 < Finkling> Do you program stuff?
14:58 < jorm> so, what about that color band says "this changes the language" ?
14:58 < Isarra> What Finkling said.
14:58 < Tony_Sidaway> Finkling: yes, for the past forty years I've programmed stuff.

14:58 < Fluffernutter> jorm: the further you read down the page the more apparent it becomes that they don't quite understand how wikipedia functions. But the pretty! (the color band, while pretty, is totally opaque and is something a design studio would come up with before someone realized that no one would think to hover over the colors)
14:58 < Finkling> Tony_Sidaway: If you program stuff how do you hate syntax highlighting
14:59 < jorm> you can't hover on tablets.
14:59 < Tony_Sidaway> Finkling: I told you. It makes the page illegible to me.

14:59 < Fluffernutter> jorm: also that (I discovered this the other night while experimenting with popups on my tablet)
14:59 < Tony_Sidaway> Finkling: I try to read the page and fail.
14:59 < Tony_Sidaway> I can't work out what the words or even the individual letters say.
14:59 < Fluffernutter> jorm: but i really do think the main landing page is cluttered and outdated and could do with a shine-up. Then again, i can't remember the last time I went to that page, so it's not like its clutter is any skin off my nose
15:00 < jorm> designing for touch interfaces is pretty much the paramount thing i've got the design team thinking like.
15:00 < SoapX> ok
15:00 < jorm> we're wanting to redo that page but we're waiting on the universal language selector to be finished.
15:00 < Isarra> Whoever designed this wikipediaredefined site clearly never mastered relative sizing.
15:00 < SoapX> http://www.wikipediaredefined.com/ is the new main page?
15:00 < Isarra> Or spacing.
15:01 < Isarra> Or good font selection.
15:01 < jorm> i also can't understand why they decided to throw away EVERYTHING that is good about our branding.
15:01 < Isarra> Or the use of colour.
15:01 < Fluffernutter> jorm: i was disproportionalte annoyed with them when i realized that they had no idea that "history" was an important concept to the way wikis work, and it doesn't mean anything like they think it means
15:01 < jorm> which is the whole "W" glyph, and the wordmark.

15:01 < Tony_Sidaway> Perhaps if somebody wants to do syntax highlighting correctly, they can look at the algol 60 report for some ideas. There is no colour in that document but it does a splendid job of exploring the possibilities of typographic highlighting.
15:01 < jorm> yes. the history thing is where i tossed them completely in the bin.
15:01 < SoapX> it doesnt seem lik e they have anything going
15:02 < jorm> we have severe limitations when it comes to typography in our designs.
15:02 < SoapX> well to be fair most people probably dont ever read the histories of articles
15:02 < SoapX> users and editors are two different groups of people
15:02 < Fluffernutter> SoapX: there's something to be said for smoothing things out, de-cluttering, etc. There's very little to be said for their involved bits - the new "functions", etc
15:02 < jorm> mostly in that we have to design for *everyone*, so we can't just tell dyslexics to sit and spin.

15:03 < SoapX> its just a list of ideas
15:03 < Fluffernutter> mmhm
15:03 < Fluffernutter> they're hoping to get critical mass via email, i guess
15:03 < SoapX> i guess it wouldnt be technologically feasible to make a demo

15:04 < Tony_Sidaway> I've never really investigated why colour highlighting is so sucky for me. Possibly the implementation is too patchy in contrast (many colours are too close together in my visual palette for me to gain good contrast).
15:04 < SoapX> they probably think that Wikipedia looks this way because we have bad web designers
15:04 < jorm> color-blindness is a big thing for me to think about.
15:04 < jorm> design firms don't expect us to call them up.
15:05 < Finkling> SoapX: That "add article" button is going to be a nightmare
15:05 < jorm> they do things like this to pad out their portfolios.
15:05 < jorm> we get 3 or 4 things like this a year.
15:05 < jorm> okay. hold on a second.
15:05 < Tony_Sidaway> jorm: the good news is that there are some algorithms that do a pretty good job of simulating colour blindness. You can look at your website as 10% of the male population sees it.
15:05 < SoapX> they mispelled "wikiquotes"
15:05 < jorm> I think I can say, unequivacably, as a representative of the Foundation, that wikipediaredefined is NOT going to be the future.
15:05 < jorm> It just isn't.
15:05 < Fluffernutter> heh
15:05 < SoapX> cool
15:05 * Isarra hugs jorm.
15:06 < Finkling> Syntax highlighting yay
15:06 < Fluffernutter> yay syntax highlighting. jorm, any chance we coudl get that? Just that?
15:06 < jorm> there are some interesting ideas with regards to how they curate photos (they don't really touch on it much) and some of their data maps are neat, but even that stuff will have to wait for wikidata to happen.
15:06 < jorm> i think it already exists in some extensions.
15:06 < Fluffernutter> ooh, really?
15:06 * Fluffernutter must go look
15:06 * foks "rebranded" Wikipedia for schoolwork once.
15:06 < Tony_Sidaway> jorm: well they can take the content and present it however they like. :)
15:06 < Finkling> We should enable them on enwp
15:06 < SoapX> i dont see an "add article" button
15:06 < mysterytrey> "I am confused because I didn't edit Wikipedia today." --Moodbar dashboard. Aren't we all?
15:06 < foks> It was shit, though, so I don't expect a job with jorm

15:07 * foks will need convinced on a visual editor, still
15:08 < jorm> if you can convince james forrester that it's a must-have, it might go into the roadmap.
15:08 < SoapX> wikEd is sort of a syntax highlight editor
15:08 < Finkling> SoapX: It's too bulky

15:08 < jorm> syntax highlighting in the visual editor.
15:09 < jorm> they're lithuanian.
15:09 < James_F> Oh, a syntax-highlighter for non-visual editor?
15:09 < SoapX> i use WikEd
15:09 < Fluffernutter> James_F: yes pleeeease

15:09 < SoapX> they could be like Poland

15:10 < foks> It's not a satire, it's a rebranding project by a design company

15:15 < jorm> we want to get contributions into mobile asap, but it's very difficult.
15:15 < jorm> and there's not really a lot of use trying to do so until the VE is done.
15:16 < jorm> now. that SAID.
15:16 < jorm> if we can get the mobile "skin" into core (which will serve as the starting point for athena), we'll get that running on tablets. which then increases the pressure to just have the current editor there.

15:17 < foks> I'm not the target of the VE.

15:17 < jorm> yes.

15:17 < jorm> the visual editor has a working prototype, but it's a long way from baked.
15:17 < jorm> you'll see echo and flow before then.

15:18 < foks> VE I'll probably dislike, because (gasp) I actually like editing with the markup
15:18 < Tony_Sidaway> Use of abbreviations is tempting but seldom useful.
15:18 < jorm> depending on how bored I get in hawaii, i might build a skin, too.
15:18 < Isarra> VE will never be able to support everything that can be done with plain wikitext, though. What do you intend to do about that, limit what all experienced users can do for the sake of simplicity?
15:18 < foks> The rest of the features, don't get me wrong, look awesome.
15:18 < jorm> wikitext is never going away.
15:18 < James_F> foks: Oh, there's nothing wrong with editing with wikitext.

15:22 < Fluffernutter> (is it unusual of me that the first thing I do when I sign up for a new site is see what's available in Preferences?)
15:22 < Tony_Sidaway> James_F: the great and blessed grace of textual formats is that you can easily implement them with macros. The secondary grace is that you can get at them with sensible software techniques that are well understood. None of this is true of the awfulness that is presentation-based editing.

15:28 < The_Blade> And the other two to zap a couple Dolovis sockpuppets who created a ton of disruptive redirects.
15:28 < jorm> okay. i'm told that you don't need to be autoconfirmed on ee-prototype to use the curation toolbar now.

15:29 < jorm> yeah. james_f is your goto guy for questions about that.
15:29 < foks> What is "a grammar"?
15:29 < Isarra> But I think that was a the server is a pile of fail problem more than anything else.
15:29 < jorm> a formal language that obeys rules, in this case.
15:29 < jorm> wikitext doesn't have one.
15:29 < Tony_Sidaway> James_F: but hey, MI5 is holding out for TeX? Who knew?
15:29 < James_F> foks: A formal, computer-readable definition of wikitext in such a way that it can be parsed consistently by multiple implementations. Right now, it's theoretical.
15:29 < jorm> the best example are templates that open and close tables.
15:30 * foks whines at the jargon
15:30 < Qcoder02> Hi James_F
15:30 < jorm> {{table_open}} {{table_row }} {{table_row}} {{table_close}}

15:31 < Isarra> Having studied CS, I beg to differ.
15:31 < foks> Qcoder02, bringing up Syria in a conversation about Wikipedia redesigns?

15:31 < James_F> Isarra: Oh, sure, but I meant CS not IT.
15:32 < Qcoder02> and James_F seems to be a semi-expert on Foreign matters
15:32 < Isarra> James_F: It was called CS.
15:32 < James_F> Isarra: If you've not done Compiler Design, you've not done CS, you've just been lied to by your educational institution.
15:32 < Isarra> The fact that the instructors wanted to talk about cats more than computers, on the other hand...
15:32 < Tony_Sidaway> It's got too many obstreporous neighbours to go quietly.
15:32 < James_F> Isarra: Same thing with CPU design.
15:32 < James_F> Anyway.
15:32 < Qcoder02> I did Computing, and I did some theroetical stuff

15:39 < Qcoder02> NG= National Geographic
15:39 < Isarra> You can't use js in templates.
15:39 < Tony_Sidaway> Qcoder02: tell me about your hardware. Can you boot a UNIX kernel of some kind on it?

15:40 < Tony_Sidaway> Qcoder02: thanks. Duh!

15:40 < Shearonink> over and over and over again,
15:40 < Qcoder02> tony_Sidaway: It's old machine from around 2000 .. The only thing that preventing me from using a standrad Linux install is a bust CD Drive
15:40 < Tony_Sidaway> Qcoder02: dunno how I managed to forget the National Geographic thing, sorry.

15:42 < Isarra> Templates are wikitext same as anything they're used in.
15:42 < Qcoder02> Or I could find a cheap CD drive on Ebay ;)

Also, protection is merely a bureaucratic process step, not a true impediment to openness. Just one more step to the process.

16:13 < SteveMobile> Urge
16:13 < BarkingFish> If it's a message meant for the list to read, then the replies go back to the list. If you want to email them privately, you should use the email address you see in the client next to their name in the From portion
16:14 < SteveMobile> Yes I realise that now
16:14 < SteveMobile> But if it's FROM someone
16:14 < BarkingFish> then why did you ask? :P
16:14 < SteveMobile> Shoudnt a REPLY go TO the person it was FROM?
16:14 < SteveMobile> Stupid iPhone

16:22 < Tony_Sidaway> Thing is, many people probably assume that computers can easily grab a hunk of wikitext and just, you know process it, because it's obvious what it all means, right? Well no. It's designed for use by humans primarily and the syntax is rather loose. So in effect the mediawiki parser is the only definitive arbiter of what is and what is not a correct interpretation of wikitext.
16:23 < Tony_Sidaway> And that's a bit like using a magic 8-ball to decide how a project will proceed.

16:42 < TeeTylerToe> I don't imagine it's a walk in the park
16:42 < jorm> we're stuck with php as long as there are external developers working on mediawiki.
16:42 < mysterytrey> Tony_Sidaway: Did you already have Apache and php?
16:43 < jorm> we could probably stop what we're doing and spend the next 6 months reimplementing mediawiki/wikipedia in another language and have a better thing for it, but that would crush people who use it for 3rd party systems. all existing extensions would die. etc.
16:45 < Tony_Sidaway> mysterytrey: not on a Thinkpad! No.
16:45 < Tony_Sidaway> mysterytrey: but I'm a software developer so it comes with the territory.
16:45 < SigmaWP> mysterytrey: Tony_Sidaway hates syntax highlighting
16:45 < mysterytrey> Did you do set up apache and php right there?
16:46 < mysterytrey> Or did you have it set up before you tried mediawiki.
16:46 < mysterytrey> ?
16:46 < Tony_Sidaway> mysterytrey: if I recall correctly I was probably running Debian at the time.
16:46 < BarkingFish> Fuckin' A. This just scared the crap out of me. I don't know what the hell it is, but I can categorically say - Do Not Want. If you're nervous or scare easily, please don't look at this - it just freaked the hell out of me, and I'm difficult to scare.

16:46 < BarkingFish> I think it's some kind of spider, but not sure.
16:47 < Tony_Sidaway> So you just install the relevant packages and then download Mediawiki and follow the README.

17:18 < Tony_Sidaway> mysterytrey: in case you were wondering I just downloaded the tar file and, as suggested by the INSTALL file, downloaded the wiki in place (renaming the install directory under htdocs as wiki instead of mediawiki-1.19.1 or whatever).

17:18 < BarkingFish> Damn. Nick change while typing :P
17:18 < Tony_Sidaway> Then I just edited a line in my httpd.conf to make it recognise php files, and now I'm up and running.
17:19 < mysterytrey> Seriously, just a line?
17:19 < SigmaWP> mysterytrey: .htaccess is your friend
17:19 < SigmaWP> and so is http.conf

17:21 < Tony_Sidaway> mysterytrey: I happen to be using OpenBSD's version of Apache but basically I installed PHP 2.something, downloaded the wiki, edited httpd.conf to say PHP files aren't food, and now in my browers I'm looking at a wiki complaining that it needs me to tell it some basic configuration stuff.
17:21 < BarkingFish> and Samwb123 is also registered
17:21 < mysterytrey> Lucky you.
17:22 < Tony_Sidaway> php-5.2.17p12 is the PHP version.
17:22 < Gladamas> How has the vandalism level increased in the last 2 years?
17:22 < Gladamas> or decreased?
17:22 < Tony_Sidaway> mysterytrey: read the INSTALL file. It's all in there.
17:23 < mysterytrey> Install of mediawiki, php, or apache?
17:23 < mysterytrey> Because apache usually lacks in explaining on Windows stuff.
17:24 < Tony_Sidaway> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
17:24 < Tony_Sidaway> That's the Apache config line I added to get it to stop treating php as food.

17:25 < Gladamas> ya, they wer just starting pending changes when I left
17:25 < Tony_Sidaway> mysterytrey: Apache is built in in OpenBSD. I only had to install a version of PHP, tell Apache to take PHP seriously, and open the tar file of mediawiki into htdocs.
17:25 < mysterytrey> I also had to do LoadModule php5_module "C:/Windows/php/5_2_17/php5apache2_2.dll" , which once I finally got the syntax good, the operation is still failing
17:25 < SoapX> he he
17:25 < Gladamas> man, 1.5 years later its still being added
17:25 < SoapX> thats how little change there's been

17:26 < mysterytrey> Just anywhere.
17:26 < Tony_Sidaway> Oh and I had to create a softlink to the relevant module for PHP into the apache modules directory.
17:26 < BarkingFish> The upshot of pending changes is simple, Gladamas - people can edit the page, but if you don't want to see their changes until they're reviewed, you can set it so you don't have to. You can pick to view either the sighted or unsighted version, Gladamas
17:26 < Gladamas> Did anyone figure out what happened a few years ago with Puffin?
17:26 < mysterytrey> Where do I place it?

17:32 < Gladamas> nope
17:32 < haggis> Gladamas: >:(
17:32 < mysterytrey> To a good free virtual machine.
17:32 < Gladamas> about 1/6 cost in electricity
17:32 < Tony_Sidaway> Actually I recently started just using my main box through my daughter's games computer.

17:32 < haggis> Gladamas: type bitcoin bit-coin plz

17:41 < Gladamas> Shaded: For about 6 months
17:41 < Shaded> Not to mention how long you spent learning about it
17:41 < Gladamas> Shirik: Correct
17:41 < mysterytrey> I'm not seeing tools from browser menu.
17:41 < Gladamas> about 2 days
17:41 < Tony_Sidaway> So people want to use it as money but in fact it's easy to crack so people just sit with their work computers running all night and they wake up next day and they've "mined" 30 pence or something.
17:41 < Shirik> no
17:41 < Shirik> it's not cracking
17:41 < Gladamas> no its not easy to crack
17:41 < Shirik> it's solving a problem
17:41 < Gladamas> the blockchain ftw
17:41 < Shirik> it is intended that mining is possible
17:42 < Tony_Sidaway> Ah.
17:42 < Shirik> so basically every transaction needs to be verified by someone
17:42 < Tony_Sidaway> Oh I remember now. I think I read about it.
17:42 < Tony_Sidaway> SO it's fun.
17:42 < Tony_Sidaway> Then how is it money?
17:42 < Shirik> the miners' job is to solve a difficult problem to lock that in
17:42 < SigmaWP> mysterytrey: ctrl+shift+i
17:42 < SigmaWP> mysterytrey: then click the 'console' tab
17:42 < Shirik> in return, they get compensated a transaction fee for some transactions, and then the "block reward"
17:42 < Tony_Sidaway> Does the miner get to keep the money?
17:42 < Shirik> currently it's 50 BTC, but it will be lessened soon
17:42 < Gladamas> yes
17:43 < Shaded> Tony_Sidaway: Instead of being government backed, it's usability backed. It's a LOT simpler to transfer money internationally with Bitcoin
17:43 < Shirik> not the money in the transaction
17:43 < Shaded> That's where the value comes from
17:43 < Shirik> they keep the block reward and transaction fee
17:43 < Tony_Sidaway> So why aren't we just mining all the time?
17:43 < Gladamas> its decentralized money
17:43 < mysterytrey> Gotcha know.
17:43 < Gladamas> Tony_Sidaway: Startup costs
17:43 < Shirik> because it is not easy
17:43 < Shaded> In anycase it's an infant project.
17:43 < Tony_Sidaway> Sounds like loony tunes to me.
17:43 < SigmaWP> mysterytrey: it might be ctrl+alt+i
17:43 < Shaded> No reason to promote it yet :c
17:43 < SigmaWP> oh it worked?
17:43 < mysterytrey> Yup.
17:44 < SigmaWP> good
17:44 < SigmaWP> now enter this: alert(window.location.href);
17:44 < SigmaWP> did something happen?
17:44 < Shirik> Tony_Sidaway: Look at it this way. In the USA, the government gets to decide when to print money
17:44 < Tony_Sidaway> Might as well give all the money to people who are good at Left4Dead2 (my daughter would be a millionnaire).
17:44 < Shirik> In the BTC world, there will only ever be 21 million BTC. Ever.
17:44 -!- Nascar1996 is now known as N1996|away
17:44 < Shirik> Much like there is only a limited amount of gold.
17:44 < Shirik> Why aren't you out there mining gold?
17:44 < SigmaWP> Shirik: Nature gives the useful stuff in abundance
17:45 < Tony_Sidaway> Shirik: actually I like the idea that the government limits the money supply. Here the supply is being set by some rather dodgy mathematical assumptions.
17:45 < SoapX> ahhh we started a debate about bitcoin
17:45 < Shirik> limits? ha!
17:45 < mysterytrey> Yeah. I now see a javacript window with an ok and the url.
17:45 < SigmaWP> good
17:45 < Shirik> they just print money whenever they feel like it
17:45 < Gladamas> ya no way, with this government beaurocracy

17:47 < SigmaWP> Then you have to type manually :P
17:47 < Shirik> Eventually mining will have a block reward of 0 BTC
17:47 < Tony_Sidaway> Shirik: oh I thought somebody agreed that I could keep the money I mined. Make your mind up!
17:47 < Shirik> ok
17:47 < Shirik> currently there is a block reward, yes. You get to keep it, yes. But that is not the purpose of mining.
17:47 < TeeTylerToe> there won't be anything to mine at the end
17:48 < TeeTylerToe> iirc
17:48 < Shirik> The purpose is to sustain the network
17:48 < Tony_Sidaway> So I'm not mining money?
17:48 < Tony_Sidaway> But I get a "reward".
17:48 < TeeTylerToe> you are.
17:48 < Shirik> currently, yes. Because we need to get the 21 million BTC into the economy somehow.
17:48 < Tony_Sidaway> What is the reward in exchange for, if I have nothing of value.
17:48 < SigmaWP> mysterytrey: When you're done setting up ubuntu and stuff, follow the directions at http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/install-virtualbox-guest-additions-in-ubuntu/
17:48 < Shirik> for solving the problem of getting transactions into the block chain
17:48 < SigmaWP> This will make your virtualbox installation run better
17:48 < TeeTylerToe> Once the problem is 100% solved all the money will be allocated by whoever mined each individual block
17:48 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Tony_Sidaway you have the power of the heart
17:48 < mysterytrey> Okay.
17:49 < Shirik> Ok so let's say I want to send you 1 BTC
17:49 < Shirik> I broadcast that to the network
17:49 < SigmaWP> mysterytrey: When you install the guest additions (see previosu link) you follow the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
17:49 < Tony_Sidaway> It's not that difficult a problem. Want a currency to get into circulation? Just give it away to people.
17:49 < SigmaWP> Then you can run apache
17:49 < SigmaWP> :D
17:49 < Shirik> why should anyone trust that?

17:50 < SigmaWP> Tony_Sidaway: Capitalism sucks btw
17:50 < Shirik> so let's say I send 1 BTC to person A, and 1 BTC to person B, and use the same 1 BTC to pay both. Obviously only one can be valid.
17:50 < TeeTylerToe> but part of btc is that you can't track who has had a block

17:50 < SoapX> Bitcoin is very well thought out
17:50 < Shirik> When it's in a block, that transaction is verified
17:50 < Tony_Sidaway> So was the Euro.
17:50 < Shirik> It is impossible for both of those transactions to get into a block
17:50 < Shirik> effectively one of those transactions will get discarded
17:51 < Shirik> the miner's job is to verify transactions and create a permanent record of it
17:51 < mysterytrey> I can now see pictures though.
17:51 < Tony_Sidaway> mysterytrey: you got it working now? Yay!
17:51 < Gladamas> Tony_Sidaway: The main idea behind Bitcoin is that it is free from government control

17:51 < mysterytrey> I got pictures working now.
17:51 < Shirik> Some miner found that block and got rewarded 50 BTC for verifying these 89 transactions
17:51 < Gladamas> Shirik: Wow, you know your stuff!
17:51 < Tony_Sidaway> Gladamas: yep. You say that like it's a _good_ thing.

18:22 < Tony_Sidaway> "In June 2011, Symantec warned about the possibility of botnets engaging in covert "mining" of bitcoins (unauthorized use of computer resources to generate bitcoins)." Duh. This will aways be a problem, I think. It's so easy to trick a third party into mining bitcoins for you.
18:22 < Pharos> go ahead, mr fish
18:22 < Pharos> make sure to include an art review if you get find one!
18:22 < BarkingFish> OK, Pharos - will do. But for a moment, just indulge me - if you'd not known that was a sculpture, would you have mistaken it for a real kid?

18:34 < BarkingFish> SoapX, yep - the sculpture was originally intended to be that of a toddler, lost on the beach at Bondi - it was made as part of an exhibition on the Bondi and Tamarama beaches in Waverly, but it was originally intended to be totally in the nude - the exhibition organisers objected, and forced Paul Trefry to put him in swimmers.
18:34 < BarkingFish> He said he didn't see the problem - Bondi and Tamarama are full of kids in the birthday outfit during summer, to his way of thinking, what was wrong with it...

18:43 < Isarra> Seeing an eyesore on a computer screen isn't supposed to literally hurt, is it?
18:44 < jorm> i don't have any rights on testwikis, i think.
18:44 < jorm> since they're outside of SUL.
18:44 < jeremyb> jorm: they are SUL'd

18:45 < jorm> well. still. not touching any of that.

18:46 < jeremyb> you are an admin there. not a crat apparently
18:46 * jeremyb isn't asking you too ;)
18:47 < jeremyb> jorm: test is tied to one apache that's only for test. test2 is a regular cluster wiki (all apaches)
18:49 < jorm> if it's SUL'd, i'm more than an admin there. i'm admin by grant by someone else.
18:49 < jeremyb> it's SUL
18:49 < jeremyb> but you're a local sysop too
18:49 < jorm> then i have +staff on it.
18:50 < jeremyb> also, test2 must be one of the cluster's current versions. for APC and disk space etc. otoh, test can be any version you like (it's got it's own box so APC isn't an issue cause it's just one codebase for the box. and it's not sync'd out to test, it's just mounted straight from NFS (fenari))

19:03 < BarkingFish> but I didn't realize it was so tight down as to stipulating how long you had to wait between eating things.
19:03 < IDoH> It's all a part of not questioning G-d, I suppose

19:06 < SoapX> the goat milk thing was a common ritual in Middle Eastern pagan cultures, I think
19:07 < SoapX> Not so much for health reasons as for just setting themselves apart from all the other cultures
19:07 < SoapX> I wasnt aware that it had expanded to keeping all dairy and meat separate during cooking, though
19:07 < BarkingFish> It was also done to soak the strong game flavor of goat out of the meat - soaking in milk is a common way to desalt preserved meats and to take out strong flavors

21:04 < ChrisGualtieri> Oh the skinny dipping article... barking up that tree again?
21:05 < TeeTylerToe> ? When censoring images of child nudity was brought up in the channel I mentioned that there was this other picture that was up for a while then taken down in '09 (I didn't know at the time it had been taken down). Then the conversation moved on, then someone just now asked about a deletion log, and I posted the link
21:05 < iizyrt> question.
21:06 < ChrisGualtieri> Though to be perfectly fair, there is justifiable reason for the sub-section to have such a image, medically, and concerning the age HAS to be of a certain matter its another thing
21:06 < iizyrt> I don't think the images are allowed on http://enwp.org/Rorsach_test

21:12 < TeeTylerToe> unlike the meyers briggs, apparently the rorsach test is both reliable and verifiable
21:12 < ChrisGualtieri> Still debatable, and foreknowledge of it ruins the test

21:16 < ChrisGualtieri> Yes, but is it a 'secret' no
21:16 < ChrisGualtieri> Trade secrets should be barred from Wikipedia as per legal matters
21:17 < ChrisGualtieri> Though public knowledge such as the test, the cards and the 'results' are not under such protection
21:18 < TeeTylerToe> The Canadian Psychological Association takes the position that, "Publishing the questions and answers to any psychological test compromises its usefulness" and calls for "keeping psychological tests out of the public domain."
21:18 < ChrisGualtieri> They are lampooned in a great many shows, medical or otherwise, to think that any random person hasn't heard of the test or never seen any reference or card itself is just statistically impossible.
21:18 < ChrisGualtieri> Its already in the public domain is the problem, its been that way for decades.

21:21 < ChrisGualtieri> A majority might be completely unfamiliar, but to say that the images are secret and should thus be removed from Wikipedia for moral or medicial concerns are laughable

21:28 < ChrisGualtieri> IQ tests are a load of pseudoscience junk as well
21:28 < ChrisGualtieri> SATs change every year so while you can study the previous tests and do appreciably better as a result, your 'medical' matter is effectively null unless you score a perfect on the SAT
21:29 < ChrisGualtieri> The arguement that the Rorschach test is secret or somehow 'special' and should have its images removed or its well-known data is just laughable to me
21:30 < TeeTylerToe> There need to be psychological tests that have copious available research data that are secret
21:31 < TeeTylerToe> and there aren't a lot of psychological tests out there that are reliable and verifiable

22:48 < Peter-C> Let’s burn some
22:48 < Headbomb> see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book for a starter
22:49 < Headbomb> :p
22:49 < Shirik> Headbomb: Is that in a book?
22:49 < Apheori> Mine hold up potted plants and monitors.
22:49 < Peter-C> Headbomb - you have a COI, gtfo

22:50 < Earwig> Headbomb: are you the single largest contributor to books?
22:50 < Headbomb> i probably edited it at some point
22:50 < Peter-C> So much coi.
22:50 < Headbomb> Earwig: probably ya
22:50 < Earwig> have you made more contributions to books than anyone else combined?
22:50 < Headbomb> AWB makes it easy
22:50 < Earwig> *everyone else
22:50 < Headbomb> no idea, but it's possible
22:51 < SigmaWP> How do I install pip for python 2 while simulatneously having it for python 3
22:51 < Headbomb> Discographer should be close behind me however
22:51 < Peter-C> Question: how did we write [[Wikipedia]] without having a COI?
22:51 < Headbomb> one of my favourite books is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book:Toilet_Paper
22:51 < Headbomb> perfect book for the toilet
22:51 < Earwig> SigmaWP: name one pip2 and another pip3
22:52 < SigmaWP> Earwig: I tried that, but then it failed to create process
22:52 < Earwig> Headbomb: you have 6,291; Discographer has 3,223
22:52 < Earwig> SigmaWP: sorry :(
22:52 < Earwig> ask #python
22:52 < SigmaWP> NOOOO
22:52 < Headbomb> Earwig: yeah doesn't really surprise me, I cleaned up the hell out of the book namespace like two years ago
22:53 < Headbomb> made like 500 BPRODS
22:53 < Earwig> gee, really?
22:53 < Earwig> I thought you implemented the book namespace!
22:53 < Headbomb> amongst other things yes :p
22:54 < Headbomb> I didn't do the technical side, but i did clean stuff up when books were moved from the Wikipedia namespace to the book namespace
22:54 < Apheori> Are mushrooms good for houseplants?
22:54 < Apheori> Because I have a potted fern that is just full of them.
22:54 < Headbomb> lots of syntax cleanup too
22:54 < Headbomb> and i probably created ~100 books or so
22:55 < Headbomb> or maybe it's 250
22:55 < Shirik> the more I mess with wikipedia, the more I find words that wikipedians like
22:55 < Headbomb> i don't really keep count
22:55 < Headbomb> like i have too many edits, edit counter just break
22:57 < Headbomb> in general books on bands are super easy to make
22:57 < Headbomb> books on countries are the worse
22:57 < SigmaWP> #python scares me
22:57 < Headbomb> you can even use scripts to convert band navboxes to books
22:58 < Headbomb> if the navbox is there, it takes like 30 seconds to make the book, and maybe 5 minutes to cleanup with AWB

23:07 < SigmaWP> Not even on cygwin?
23:07 < Brooke> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool
23:07 < Apheori> You have to go locate something, manually download it from a sketchy website, and then install it whilst ignoring a bunch of popup errors.

23:09 < Shirik> fuck apt
23:09 < Shirik> portage
23:09 < Apheori> Portage is nice.
23:09 < Apheori> But complicated.
23:10 < Shirik> it also works
23:10 < SigmaWP> Gentoo noobs :P
23:10 < Apheori> Doesn't apt?
23:10 < Shirik> apt does exactly what you tell it to do
23:10 < Apheori> Granted I've used portage more than I have apt, but... eh.
23:10 < Apheori> Personally I prefer pacman.
23:10 < Shirik> unfortunately it is very good at being told to install things that are incompatible or missing
23:10 < Shirik> and then you only find out at runtime
23:10 < Apheori> O_o
23:11 < Shirik> the beauty of portage is if you can compile it, you can run it
23:11 < Apheori> Isn't apt for idiot-friendy distros?
23:11 < Shirik> sure
23:11 < Shirik> but the moment you try to do something relatively complex, that's what happens
23:11 < SigmaWP> What distribution are you using, Apheori ?
23:11 < Apheori> I've found that even if portage won't compile it things'll still run. >.>
23:11 < Apheori> On which computer?
23:11 < SigmaWP> The one you're on
23:11 < SigmaWP> Now
23:12 < Shirik> well yeah, if it doesn't compile, it doesn't get installed :)

23:12 < Shirik> does apt have something similar? I don't know

23:12 < Apheori> Yes.
23:12 < Shirik> sure, but portage makes it easy

23:13 < Apheori> I mean, suppose you got the source somewhere else, I assume you can make portage compile that instead somehow and handle things prettily?
23:13 < Shirik> emerge =foo/bar-1.2.3
23:15 < Shirik> but most importanttly
23:15 < Shirik> I can restrict emacs from being installed
23:15 < Shirik> that way if I accidentally try to install it
23:15 < Shirik> portage is just like "no fuck you"
