-- William Gibson, All Tomorrow's Parties
10:28 <@ralfiboy> sweet ... www.cray-cyber.org
10:29 < bda> That sounds less than safe for work.
10:29 <@ralfiboy> crusty old hardware makes me happy.
10:31 < bda> I'm having unhappy thoughts about that URL and that statement, Andrew.
03:16 <bda> How's it going with that girl?
03:16 <kitten> What do you think I've been doing for the past three nights?
03:16 * bda pauses.
03:16 <kitten> ...that was unintentional.
03:17 <kitten> Shut up.
This is moments after kitten spends ten minutes bitching about people using their desktop to store useless shit for long periods of time. And giving me crap for having two dirs on it since last night.
15:33 <kitten> If I could make Firefox do the little navigation clicks like IE
does, I'd make it my default browser.
15:35 <bda> ..."navigation clicks"?
15:35 <bda> You mean make noise?
15:35 <kitten> It makes a little "click" noise, yes.
15:35 <kitten> Default in 2k and XP.
15:35 <kitten> But I've had it set that way since Win95, before I even knew you.
15:35 <bda> ..and that's what's keeping you from using a technically superior and actually updated browser..
15:35 <kitten> So I'm used to it and not having it is really disconcerting.
15:35 <bda> And you're bitching about how OTHER people use computers.
15:35 <kitten> Heh.
15:35 <kitten> Screw.
<3
Abigail is giving this talk, but I'm sitting in the Alpaca talk by Tad McClellan.
14:20 < dha> for a second there, I thought abigail said "fictional programming"
14:21 <@bda> dha: That's the sort of code *I* write.
14:21 < dha> bda - you mean you *think* you write
14:22 <@bda> Touche.
Yay for #yapc.
09:40 < vai> bda: also - if you're running windows machines inside - get the MS baseline sec. analyser.
09:41 <@bda> The what?
09:41 < vai> it can audit yer net for the known holes
09:41 <@ejp> the what?
09:41 <@ejp> bah, fuck that. just secure the perimiter.
09:41 <@bda> vai: In Real Network Administration, that's called "snort".
09:41 < vai> bda: it get windows patches. and fixes.
09:41 < vai> snort doesn't
09:41 <@ejp> I put a nice hard Unix shell around the soft GUI center.
09:42 <@bda> Heh.
09:42 <@bda> ejp++
* rjbs ponders abusing Inline::Files
* bda calls the Module Abuse Hotline.
< rjbs> Show us where the programmer touched you.
< mrsolo> no no
< mrsolo> keep xs to youself
(I sense a "PERL ISA BUS" meme coming on.)
<bda> Er. I hear popping noises coming from downstairs.
<bda> And from downstairs it's coming from the ceiling. Fucking loud to be mice.
<bda> I'd like to know what this noise is.
<bda> It's tweakin' me out.
<Danelope> It's fucking SANTA CLAUS.
<Danelope> Scuttling through your crawlspace.
<Danelope> Waiting for an opportune moment to descend from the air ducts and punch a hole through your skull with his secondary set of mandibles.
<Danelope> And feast on the meaty goodness inside.
<Danelope> HO HO HO.
Either it's Santa or the squibs...
< mdxi> anyone care to pin down avril what'sherface's musical style more specifically than "post-punk lamer"?
<@bda> "pop emo punk I wanna put my dick in it"
< mdxi> two thumbs up

08:58 <kitten> SYN
08:59 <bda> ACK
08:59 <kitten> sup.
08:59 <bda> Awake.
08:59 <bda> Not happy about it.
08:59 <kitten> I don't want to be awake.

01:14 <@dragorn> interesting
01:14 <@bda> The State of New York City.
01:14 <@bda> Or State of Lesser New York?
01:15 <@bda> Or simply, the City.
01:15 <@dragorn> somehow i don't see it happening
01:16 <@dragorn> but it's an interesting idea
01:16 <@dragorn> I'm sure seceding isn't as easy as the town council saying "we don't wanna"
01:16 <@bda> It'd be a first step into the eventual breakdown of the republic.
01:16 <@bda> Reverting to a bunch of city-states...
01:16 <@bda> Easier for corporations to control.
01:16 * bda sips his gin.
01:17 <@dragorn> Thats for that wonderful view into the futue
01:17 <@dragorn> future
01:17 <@dragorn> I hope I drop dead of an aneurism before then
01:17 <@bda> Don't you want to live the cyberpunk life?
01:18 <@bda> Doping just to get through the day, hacking because you can't sleep, in what can only be described as a destructive relationship with some non-technical female. But then, what relationship *isn't* destructive when the light is like powder, getting in under the doors, and the geodesics generate their own weather..

Bryan Allen: Does your homework involve taking naked pictures of yourself and posting them on the Interweb?
Michelle Sipics: potato cheese soup, and the bootloader got f'd up when i installed fedora.

<@bda> By what, pissing on it?

<@bda> It doesn't judge me.

00:24 < grant_> can anyone suggest a mirror that actually has the 3.7 install set?

<@ralfiboy> maybe you're doing it wrong ?
<@bda> A possiblity I cannot deny.
<@javaman> did you ever try getting up on the OTHER side of the bed?
<@bda> javaman: My bed is against the wall. I could go out the window but I doubt this would lighten my mood at all.
<@bda> Nothing says "right side of the bed" like broken legs.
<@javaman> well

< bda> ?
<@andyg> from within the code I mean

< bda> Check to see where that debug msg is generated?
* bda has no idea, obviously.
< HCoyote> checking $c->engine looks like it returns the current engine
< bda> haha.
<@andyg> oh nice
< bda> Shit, things aren't allowed to be that easy.
< HCoyote> well ... I had to read the perldoc for Catalyst.
< bda> HCoyote: Go back and find the obfuscated method name hidden under six layers of crap.
< HCoyote> (for that ... no idea if it works)
< bda> haha.
< bda> Goddamnit!
< purl> somebody said goddamnit was where the fuck is dorian's martini?

<@andyg> :)
< HCoyote> now, if it tells you whether you're running on a shitty v6 or a hemi v8 ... I"ll be impressed.
< HCoyote> I've been told I have a knack for finding weird, not-very-obvious shit like that.
< bda> haha.
<kitten-> I imagine it's typical Hollywood schlock that could have been spewed from the Powerbook of the laziest hack in a matter of hours.

<Danelope> No, Bryan, he didn't "have anal sex with a horse".
<Danelope> He was fucked to death in the ass by a horse.
<Danelope> Not only was he gay, but he was gay...FOR HORSES.
<Danelope> It's important to have perspective when these sorts of things happen.

Subject: OPENBSD SOCIOLOGICAL SURVEY.
OpenBSD developer survey.
Sorry for using this mailing list but we are a team of researchers from the ENST (the engineering school of telecommunication of Paris), and we are doing a sociological survey on OpenBSD in order to better understand the community.
After a qualitative study and several interviews with French developers, we want to extend this study to the whole community by sending a questionnaire.
Answering to the following questionnaire will take about 15 minutes and will be very helpful to us.
Results of this survey will be treated on a statistical basis, so they will remain anonymous. They will be published on a free accessible website as soon as they are ready.
[lots of questions.]
And as always Riku was there with the commentary:
<@rjbs> From hacker-inquiries@ot3.scientology.org

Boy, I can't wait for some of the replies. ;-)

<@bda> Yes.
<@bda> Well.
<@bda> :\
<@ejp> o_O
<@ejp> your people's...fanatic devotion to Cash is disturbing
<@bda> ejp: Cash is Good.
< solios> ejp: he's an Icon.
< solios> like Thompson.

<@bda> At least there won't be no hair in it.
< solios> pwn.
But according to imdb, Phoenix learned to play guitar from scratch for the film, and did all the songs himself (no dubbing). From the trailer, it sounds like he hit it dead on... and that sort of dedication to acting puts him up there with bad-ass actors like Christian Bale (The Machinist) willing to go to lengths for a part.
Of course, Bale may just be fucking nuts.

<@gabb> At the university labs I work at we got smartboards that cost 10k.
<@gabb> 10k for the smartboard + another 10k for the NEC vertical beamer, then I rather get myself this thing.
<@sri> and it's just a preview product
<@sri> they are working with "big enterprises" and military on mass market stuff
<@gabb> The military application video rocks.
< bda> Eh.
< bda> It isn't interactive. It just spins a tank around.
* bda wanted to see them simulate a targeting system. :)
* gabb watches bda asking for the GUI from "hackers".
<@gabb> ;D
< bda> "Type cookie, you moron!"
<@bda> http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/09/02/nagin.transcript/
<@bda> And one of the things people -- nobody's talked about this. Drugs flowed in and out of New Orleans and the surrounding metropolitan area so freely it was scary to me, and that's why we were having the escalation in murders. People don't want to talk about this, but I'm going to talk about it.
<@bda> You have drug addicts that are now walking around this city looking for a fix, and that's the reason why they were breaking in hospitals and drugstores. They're looking for something to take the edge off of their jones, if you will.
<@bda> And right now, they don't have anything to take the edge off. And they've probably found guns. So what you're seeing is drug-starving crazy addicts, drug addicts, that are wrecking havoc. And we don't have the manpower to adequately deal with it. We can only target certain sections of the city and form a perimeter around them and hope to God that we're not overrun.
<@bda> THERE ARE FUCKING ZOMBIES IN NEW ORLEANS
<@solios> \o/
<@solios> I like how huge parts of the PD aren't showing up for work.
<@waltman> i read somewhere where it's against federal law for the army to be doing police work
<@waltman> that's why we have a fucking national guard
<@bda> The Army, yes.
<@solios> we shipped the guard to Iraq, Walt.
<@ralfiboy> to feed the zombies?
<@waltman> or at least HAD one, before dubya sent them all off to iraq
<@bda> It's sort of like the CIA operating locally. :P
<@solios> which is in part why the mayor wants martial law.
<@bda> Yeah.
<@solios> since the PD can't deal.
<@waltman> feed fucking dubya's brain to the fucking zombies.
<@bda> WTG N00B prez lolz
<@waltman> if they can find it
<@bda> waltman: Not much of a meal.
<@ralfiboy> those zombies will be going hungry.
<@solios> waltman: that's like those expensiveass restaurants where you pay 9000$ a plate for a blade of grass from tazmania.
<@gabb> WTF: http://www.pjchmiel.com/photo/food/cdiner-cheesesteak.jpg
< abraxxa> stop talking 'bout food, i'm hungry!
<@gabb> You eat such stuff ???
< bda> Totally.
<@purl> GAG ME WITH A SPOON!!1!
< bda> Mmm. Taters.
<@gabb> Taters = Potatoes ?
< abraxxa> looks awful!
< bda> Gag you with a pound of beef, cheese, and bread, bitches!

<@john> where are you?
<@bda> 34th & Chestnut.
<@john> that's fine with me
<@bda> Or 34th & Market.
<@bda> Either one. :P
<@john> ok, I can probably find the latter
<@john> so
<@john> we'll call you when we are on our way, find you, find parking by VP and eat
<@bda> Chestnut is one block south of Market.
<@john> sound good?
<@john> oh ok
<@bda> VP is near you.
<@rjbs> I'd like to go someplace with, like, burgers and fries or someting.
<@bda> Oh.
<@bda> New Deck.
<@rjbs> I'm not feeling excited about exotic food.
<@rjbs> Wait, was there a previous decision?
<@bda> They have good chili too.
<@john> bda, oh, is it the place across the street?
<@rjbs> oh
<@bda> john: Yes.
<@rjbs> Vietnam Palace is fine.
<@john> oh jeez

<@waltman> so $friend had her wisdom teeth yanked today. i'm wondering if she's going to be coherent if i call to see how she's feeling.
< pthread> probably, you just wont be able to understand her
<@waltman> heh
<@waltman> maybe i should wait until tomorrow...
< pthread> heh, okay, maybe a bit too much of a personal story, but it's funny anyway
< pthread> I was dating this girl who had her wisdom teeth out, and she was feeling all frisky, so I was like sure what the hell
< pthread> well her dad found the condom in the trash and her parents thought I was this horrific person, they were like, "what kind of person has sex with someone who just had surgery?"
< pthread> she wouldn't tell them it was her idea :(
<@bda> "Shit on my blade or blood on my dick"?
<@captadhoc> bda: going out tonight?

<Danelope> <Burrito Guy> Our beef and pork are naturally-raised without hormones or antibiotics, and our vegetables are all organic!
<Danelope> <Burrito Guy> The only thing that isn't all-natural is our chicken, because we still haven't found a source for all-natural chicken yet.

< dragorn> ow. and the cat assumes its alter ego: The Junktrampler
<@maarken> ha
<@maarken> my sister's cat does that. fucker weights like 22lbs. four 1
square inch paws.

< bda> Wow.
< bda> Quick, one of you fucking nerds figure out how much weight that is
per paw on your junk.
<@maarken> 5.5
<@maarken> psi
< dragorn> thats only stationary
<@maarken> yes. that's the problem really.
< dragorn> not when it's made a junk-trampoline and taken a leap
< bda> Fucking nerds.
< kyoorius> approximately how high does the cat jump off your junk?
<@maarken> you'd need to know the average velocity of the cat mid leap.
< dragorn> I'm less concerned with average velocity and more concerned
wth initial junk-trampling
< kyoorius> you can calculate that if you know the trajectory
< kyoorius> which can be approximated by knowing the height the cat
reaches above said junk
< kyoorius> a pretty close value can be derived negating air friction and
the horizontal component of travel
<@maarken> oddly, I'm pretty happy the answer "fuckin' OW!"
* kyoorius aced college physics attending 3 sessions... the first day in
class, the mid term, and the final :P

<bda> He didn't know what it was.

<bda> And the clerk just pauses, and then points AT THE GIANT FUCKING PLACARD in front of the guy and he goes "Yea! Wait.. no... wait. Yeah! That's it!"
<bda> And I'm thinking to myself "I'm going to kill this motherfucker. I'm going to drop a cap in his brainpan. I'm going to jail because this guy is an asshole."
<bda> And then, then he starts saying what he wants on it, and what he doesn't, and why, and in what order.
