[2001-08-06 10:12:00] - *many ~a
[2001-08-06 10:12:00] - i think it was just a local problem; miguel didn't mention much problems either. i am hoping that staying more or less connected for the last two days is a sign that disconnections will not happen as much any more. ~a
[2001-08-06 10:11:00] - nope. but i wrote a script that josh suggested on friday. the script pings my cox router every second and records if it could ping it or not. wouldn't you know it; as soon as i finish writing the script, cox decides to stop disconnecting me every other hour. ~a

[2001-08-06 09:59:00] - dewey, fine. i will take your suggestion. i didn't originally like it because link titles can be deceptive, but i really can't nor shouldn't try to stop people from being deceptive, right? thanks for the suggesion and i'll implement it when i fix the picture posting module. ~a

[2001-08-06 09:31:00] - a: My suggestion before is still my suggestion for your link problem- execute a program to get the HTML file pointed to by the link and pull out the title of the document. Then paste that into the Message board string so you don't display the url, just the title. - dewey

[2001-08-06 09:07:00] - mig: i believe the fred durst quote in your journal is actually wrong. i read somewhere that he said his new cd was a mix of pantera and pink floyd's "off the wall", which of course is a michael jackson album - vinnie

[2001-08-05 23:29:00] - a: I was unsure about how my name fit into the statement. It seemed like you were saying that the militant anti-feminists had brainwashed me into their illogical legions -paul
[2001-08-05 23:15:00] - i don't understand why you thought i might be grouping you together with "militant anti-feminists." ~a
[2001-08-05 23:10:00] - i disagree with them and yes, they were written in an odd fashion. i don't know why you are confused by the mention of your name. did it not make any sense? ~a
[2001-08-05 23:10:00] - a: Were you insulting me or my outlandish views on feminism? Was I being grouped together with these militant anti-feminists? Were those statements directed at me? -paul
[2001-08-05 23:08:00] - a: Were you making fun of those articles because you disagree with them or just because they were written in an odd fashion? Furthermore, I am confused by the mention of my name. -paul
[2001-08-05 23:06:00] - a: I'm a bit confused by what you were trying to get across before. I understand your statements were a parody of those articles but I don't know what point you were trying to make -paul

[2001-08-05 22:27:00] - and i don't know how to fix it. ~a
[2001-08-05 22:26:00] - man, that post was really annoying. i shortened it, but it is still really annoying. urls often have long strings without delimeters like that last post
[2001-08-05 22:23:00] - here is an example: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (shortened) ~a
[2001-08-05 22:22:00] - i'm still playing around with that "feature." i don't really know how i want to deal with it, i just know i do want to deal with it. you see, when there are long strings of no spaces or word delimiters, things don't get wrapped. does anyone have a suggestion on how to go about fixing that? ~a
[2001-08-05 21:41:00] - a: What's with all of these random spaces in URLs? Is this some bizarre new feature which I don't understand? - aaron

[2001-08-04 17:52:00] - i'm done. ~a
[2001-08-04 17:51:00] - the truth, plain as fred's dumb phrases on a web page, is that anti-feminists are a hate group that are (unlike radical feminists; unless radical feminists rape men) guilty of what they accuse. ~a
[2001-08-04 17:51:00] - usually i would assume this to be a joke, but considering fred's totally idiotic style, i can't tell if "Six out of every four men molest their children" is a joke or a mistake. or maybe fred doesn't know that six is more than four? ~a
[2001-08-04 17:51:00] - "these fantasies rely on battered-women studies, usually written by academic feminists." i am being serious: that is the same argument i heard to why gay parents should not raise children. the argument went something like "all the studies that say homosexual parents do as good of a job raising children as heterosexual parents are written by academic homosexuals." ~a
[2001-08-04 17:49:00] - ever notice how these radical anti-feminists are either butt-ugly or homophobic? or both in fred's case? ~a
[2001-08-04 17:47:00] - somehow radical anti-femanists have created a nightmare world that doesn't exist and made men, or a few men men like paul believe they live in it. this world is full of women hollering about how men are always battering women. ~a

there's pretty much nothing left for me to do but enjoy the social aspect of the game - wolf[2001-08-04 03:57:00] - we do things like cow-level marathons, fill various towns with piles of gold, fight valks and golem, use the "personalize" quest to make cracked sashes with naughty things written on them... - wolf
[2001-08-04 03:54:00] - i play d2 to have fun with friends. we rarely "play" as in go questing, level up, etc...

[2001-08-03 23:40:00] - (that is also why your ftp and ssh passwords are different) ~a
[2001-08-03 23:40:00] - the only thing you don't have permission to do is upload files to your cgi-bin directory because that would be bad (hackers could sniff out your ftp password and run programs on my computer to attempt at getting root access using weird means) ~a
[2001-08-03 23:38:00] - (to overwrite, delete the old file then upload the new one) ~a
[2001-08-03 23:38:00] - for future reference, it says "anonymous access" or something like that but just ignore that message. you have access to upload files to your htdocs directory (i am still looking in to why it does not allow overwrite permission) ~a

[2001-08-03 20:19:00] - well, whatever... time to start a game called VTTJ
[2001-08-03 20:18:00] - ok, so when I go to the Battle.net I am just playing a game by myself- is that normal? - dewey
[2001-08-03 19:22:00] - apparently there were other complications caused by fixing it. - mig
[2001-08-03 19:22:00] - dewey: also another thing to keep in mind with bugs, is that sometimes when you fix something, it can cause another bug. in d1, orginially, there was a bug in the game that easily allowed you to duplicate items, but they couldn't fix it because
[2001-08-03 17:48:00] - i took a break from d2 to play d1 with some friends. i had forgotten how much better d1 was... it's a shame that d2 had such a lousy development team. - wolf
[2001-08-03 15:44:00] - Shoot. I've uploaded them, now, I guess I just need to move them around... I thought all this new stuff he was setting up was just for CGI scripting, or something... - aaron
[2001-08-03 14:49:00] - aaron: adrian went to kings dominion today, but i can say that you are only allowed to ftp files to certain directories on your account, then you have to use ssh to move them around. he can answer more when he gets back - aba

[2001-08-03 10:03:00] - dewey: maybe they figure it's worth it to take a little more time and get it all out correctly instead of releasing a half-broken patch and getting everyone upset again -dave
[2001-08-03 10:02:00] - dewey: beats me. i don't know how they do it. -dave
[2001-08-03 08:53:00] - so Blizzard is slacking off? Why don't they release the fixes they have now, and get the other ones to work later? - dewey

[2001-08-02 20:12:00] - in otherwords, it was pretty damn difficult to just get a computer with linux on it. granted linux demand is going to be pretty low, but with support like that the demand will get even more dismal. - mig
[2001-08-02 20:11:00] - phone the option to have a computer come with linux pre-installed. - mig
[2001-08-02 20:10:00] - what was not mentioned is that according to some people dell did not include an option on its webpage to allow people to select linux(they only had 98/2k as options). and there have been claims that dell has flat out denied people who order over the

[2001-08-02 16:51:00] - Okay... But if the average person stays at the same profession for 20 years, then roughly half of the people should leave that profession in 10 years. That's not unusual. - aaron

[2001-08-02 16:24:00] - "roughly half of today's 2.8 million public school teachers will have left the profession by 2010"? Hmm, I certainly hope so. Is this unusual, for teachers to stop teaching after 10 years? - aaron
[2001-08-02 16:11:00] - average for each month individually, not a running average. ~a
[2001-08-02 16:11:00] - aaron: i think it is just the average message size for that month. - aba

[2001-08-02 16:02:00] - a: this "size by month" chart.... is this the average message size for each month individually, or is this the average message size for the entire database, from month to month? - aaron
[2001-08-02 15:59:00] - dave: Good job, you got it! Ha ha. - aaron
[2001-08-02 15:53:00] - that wouldnt explain january though. - aba
[2001-08-02 15:52:00] - adrian has also been continuously increasing the character limit due to complaints over the past year.
- aba[2001-08-02 15:50:00] - vinnie: Maybe -paul
[2001-08-02 15:49:00] - i wonder why the posts are getting larger though. perhaps the requiring of a description with each link?

-paul[2001-08-02 15:33:00] - interesting and well defined trend from february to august. this is the average number of bytes in a post for each month. http://aporter.dhs.org/?a=7&d=6 ~a

[2001-08-02 15:23:00] - what does 11k31'/ mean?
[2001-08-02 14:53:00] - They're just lucky that their vocabulary consists of mostly less-than-5-letter words... longer words get very confusing... - aaron
[2001-08-02 14:51:00] - So how would one say, "Illiterate" in "leet"... 11117r8? I wonder how many leetspeakers could read that - aaron

[2001-08-02 14:41:00] - A virus patcher would actually be a practical application for virus-type code - aaron

[2001-08-02 14:24:00] - I wish I could adminster my IIS server from here. - dewey
[2001-08-02 14:24:00] - what the fuck! only thing I have done recently was to download the patch that fixes the bug exploited by the code red virus. I didn't know that would change my settings.... argh. - dewey

[2001-08-02 13:58:00] - dewey: there are a few other words that get changed in l33t in addition to letters. crap like "|-|4x0r" and "d00d" - vinnie

[2001-08-02 13:52:00] - though i could say it with one. - mig
[2001-08-02 13:52:00] - "penn and teller get killed" also tie with 3. - mig
[2001-08-02 13:51:00] - a: So how come it is possible to use capital letters in leetspeak but not using normal english on the message board? -paul
[2001-08-02 13:49:00] - a: but goes to show, it is just character replacement. - dewey
[2001-08-02 13:49:00] - Of course, the letter i should be replaced by 1 or something. I think it's OK to be ambiguous with leetspeak - aaron
[2001-08-02 13:48:00] - a: oh my god, that's crazy! - dewey
[2001-08-02 13:44:00] - a: That's pretty neat

[2001-08-02 13:08:00] - i'm curious about the star trek one. never seen it, so the spoiler makes no sense - vinnie
[2001-08-02 12:52:00] - I think it's interesting how they link back to IMDB with each spoiler... "Now that we've ruined the ending, go see the movie!" - aaron
[2001-08-02 12:42:00] - And hey, wait, they didn't get the ending of Swordfish right, did they? I don't think they did! - aaron
[2001-08-02 12:42:00] - I could ruin "The Truman Show" in two, I think! - aaron
[2001-08-02 12:38:00] - aaron: 4 words to ruin the movie? pfft, they did it with 3 in Star Trek: The motion picture -paul

[2001-08-02 10:37:00] - actually, if you are not intersted in reading green party rhetoric, you might want to skip down towards the last couple paragraphs - mig
[2001-08-02 10:34:00] - msnbc likes to have a big summary of the article before the actual article. look down some more. - mig

[2001-08-02 10:31:00] - mig: where do you see that, the article is only a paragraph long... -- Xpovos
[2001-08-02 10:28:00] - what interested me was the statement "even if it fall bellow 2 children per woman, the population will still increase." that still doesn't mean that it's a *good* thing. - mig
[2001-08-02 10:26:00] - it's not so much the peak that interests me as the downward swing afterwards, and I think that their estimate of 2070 is likely a bit high, I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing the downward swing in the next 20 years or so. -- Xpovos
[2001-08-02 10:23:00] - i'm also more inclined to agree with the 9 billion estimate. - mig

[2001-08-02 09:53:00] - as longs as you understand what letters a number can be sbustituted for, and you can pronounce words "fonetically", decoding 31337 speak isn't that difficult. - mig
[2001-08-02 09:51:00] - nevermind, i guess i didn't - vinnie
[2001-08-02 09:51:00] - pretty much. it can be either, depending on the word. keep in mind i'm not an "expert" on 31337 speak, if there even is such a thing. - mig
[2001-08-02 09:51:00] - Basically it's just USR being a dick about Linux drivers. -- Xpovos
[2001-08-02 09:51:00] - 31337 has difficult syntax, but it's very easy to read. i think i posted a how to speak 1337 link a while back - vinnie
[2001-08-02 09:50:00] - No, i don't think that'll do it, but thanks for the help. -- Xpovos
[2001-08-02 09:48:00] - mig: are certain letters always substituted for other ones? like "0" always seems to be "o". but are x's always k's or ck's? -dave

I was lured in by the false gods of cheap parts. -- Xpovos[2001-08-02 09:24:00] - mig: yes, i don't get it at all -dave
[2001-08-02 09:20:00] - it's not a winmodem is it? - mig
[2001-08-02 09:08:00] - Hey, if anybody knows where I can get a linux driver for a 0x12B9(That's USR) modem running on a 0x1007 chipset I'd like to know. I bought the damn thing, and now I can't configure it. Don't wanna have to return it. -- Xpovos
