[2007-10-11 14:52:40] - i was seriously considering selling one of my stocks this morning. the ONLY stock that's actually doing well today
~a[2007-10-11 14:43:10] - It's 2PM on the stock market. Did you blink? -- Xpovos
[2007-10-11 14:39:54] - *** a puts dust back onto vinnie's hands.
[2007-10-11 14:37:33] - paul: glad to help *dusts hands* - vinnie
[2007-10-11 11:55:34] - We ended up restarting sql server and it seems like it might work out ok. Thanks for your help, everybody. -Paul
[2007-10-11 11:23:17] - vinnie: cool. i probably should have left my bike in my car, though. damn, it's been a month since i was last at fountainhead. ~a
[2007-10-11 11:05:12] - a: I think I'm gonna skip DDR today - vinnie
[2007-10-11 09:53:58] - but i'm guessing that this is critical data, so don't take my word for it. ~a
[2007-10-11 09:53:14] - paul: it probably depends on the sql server. mysql has a kill command. worst case scenario, backup the database, restart the server, and try to repair the database (or reload from one of your many backups). ~a
[2007-10-11 09:31:10] - mig: I'm not sure what you mean by it not mattering. Management studio says it's still cancelling the query and I am pretty sure that the cancelling is killing that machine's performance. -Paul
[2007-10-11 09:22:08] - paul: well if the query is transcational then it shouldn't matter. - mig
[2007-10-11 09:13:44] - btw, does anybody know if there is a way to safely kill a query running on sql server? I have a query which has been "cancelling" for nearly a day now and I really just want it to die without corrupting the database. -Paul
[2007-10-11 09:12:43] - Why can't there just be a text version of the article as well? What's more annoying is that often these are articles which really don't seem like they need video to them at all (fantasy sleeper picks for the week, etc). -Paul
[2007-10-11 09:11:41] - I'm with Xpovos here. There are so many times when I see an interesting article on msn or cnbc or washingtonpost and when I click on it, I'm asked to install media player or some crap. -Paul
[2007-10-11 08:51:45] - xpovos: I can safely say that these reviews would be far less interesting in a textual medium. my argument stands... it's not like they stopped printing books when films were popularized, it just created a new presentation venue for things that benefit from video and audio components. - pierce
[2007-10-11 08:34:03] - a: Noted. All the more reason for text. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-11 08:28:52] - (i.e. a braille reader and text to speech) ~a
[2007-10-11 08:28:03] - "text just insists I not be blind" not necessarily, there two very simple computer translations from text to a form consumable my a blind user. ~a
[2007-10-11 08:02:59] - Unless there is a clear need to provide graphic demonstration, video is not the best tool. If you want to show videos of gameplay, they should be sidebar'd to the text. This is a multimedia platform, afterall. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-11 08:02:04] - pierce: I can't watch video at work. Video requires greater broadband. Video requires that I listen/not not deaf and that I not be blind. Whereas text just insists I not be blind. I can read faster than I can listen. I can read multiple articles at once. I can skip ahead in reading -far- more effectively than I can with video. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-10 23:11:06] - xpovos: the 1920s called, they want their crusty bibliocentric/antifilmographic sentiment back. - pierce
[2007-10-10 22:26:52] - Why is everything video now? What was wrong with text? -- Xpovos
[2007-10-10 18:21:31] - hilarious gaming reviews with a quirky british accent and low-budget art direction: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation - pierce
[2007-10-10 17:11:26] - I for one will almost certainly end up buying the CD, unless the songs are total ass - vinnie
[2007-10-10 17:10:36] - and I definitely agree with your second post. I think it's fascinating. I think it will be a success for them (especially after they sell the rights to a major label to distribute the CD version, hah) but they have a lot going for them that other bands don't - vinnie
[2007-10-10 17:09:46] - pierce: I sort of agree with your first post. there's a very atypical thing happening here and like you, I hope no conclusions are drawn (eh, who are we kidding). it's like very big cult band with largely technologically savvy fanbase - vinnie
[2007-10-10 16:56:03] - and while I think the radiohead album "you set the price" thing is interesting, there's a novelty effect that will greatly skew the results. I hope no one tries to draw any conclusions based on whether it's successful or not. - pierce
[2007-10-10 16:54:34] - to an extent this whole attitude of "we're independent now"/"we're paving the way for a new revolution in music sales" rings hollow to me coming from bands that enjoyed such success from the traditional label system. they're not going to face the same challenges as a no-name band of similar quality. - pierce
[2007-10-10 15:46:59] - a: yes (in ref to nin and radiohead). I'm planning on downloading radiohead's new album for free of their website tonight
- vinnie[2007-10-10 15:42:53] - aba: but I hope you're not surprised. - pierce

[2007-10-10 13:58:37] - aaron/mig: have you ever heard of JABS? or JCDSC? ~a
[2007-10-10 13:29:40] - Invision Power Board is the big one. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-10 13:26:40] - xpovos: which 3rd party programs? ~a
[2007-10-10 13:25:20] - a: And I'm a terrible programmer too, so unsanitized entry is totally believeable. Even though we're using third party programs. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-10 13:24:37] - a: I wonder if that's what happened to my database... the entire server was wonky this morning with database errors. I figured it was just one of our standard "table in use" errors, so I go to clear it and every table in that database is gone. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-10 13:07:30] - pierce: in july i created a DAO system to access the underlying data. in august i moved over to using the MysqlDAO (a DAO that stores its data in mysql). in september i moved thread configuration to the MysqlDAO. in october i created a thread permission system. ~a
[2007-10-10 13:01:40] - a: o rly? when did that change? I'm impressed, no noticeable service interruptions, performance issues, or odd quirks as a result of the transition. - pierce
[2007-10-10 12:58:26] - pierce: careful what you post to the message board, the message board now uses mysql and i'm a horrible programmer. ~a
[2007-10-10 12:47:15] - Pierce: Nice.
-Paul[2007-10-10 12:45:05] - hover your mouse over the comic for a follow-up joke. - pierce

[2007-10-10 11:09:23] - a: No, I wasn't undercover. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-10 10:02:59] - nine inch nails and radiohead are now independent artists? ~a
[2007-10-10 09:11:49] - yes. were you instructed to act like a prospective member? ~a
[2007-10-10 08:48:27] - a: Undercover auditor? -- Xpovos
[2007-10-09 23:37:06] - were you undercover?
~a[2007-10-09 23:36:42] - xpovos: oh my. that policy. ~a
[2007-10-09 22:31:55] - a: Policy on the Protection of Children/Young People and Prevention of Sexual Misconduct and/or Child Abuse. No, I didn't name it. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-09 20:13:10] - a: Depends on your definition of "stuffing". I also get annoyed at polls which force me to vote before I see results. -Paul
[2007-10-09 20:12:24] - Pierce: I'm pretty sure it hurts more than it helps, which is unfortunate. -Paul
[2007-10-09 19:39:15] - and most likely unevenly weighted noise. ~a
[2007-10-09 19:06:06] - a: I'm with you. the irony is that they probably design it that way to stop people from gaming the system, when in reality it just adds noise. - pierce
[2007-10-09 18:44:45] - if you force me to pick random answers and throw off your data just to see the results, you deserve it. ~a
[2007-10-09 18:43:55] - on a related subject, am i the only one that gets mad at polls that force you to vote before they show you the results? ~a
[2007-10-09 18:43:10] - because that's a commanding lead and there have been 5000 votes. ~a
[2007-10-09 18:42:43] - paul: are you sure somebody wasn't stuffing the poll? ~a
[2007-10-09 18:37:32] - an aura *of* being - pierce
[2007-10-09 18:37:05] - honestly, I wonder to what extent this internet popularity is a double-edged sword for Ron Paul. Sure, it gets his name out there, but it also gives his campaign an aura being a crackpot cult of personality, doesn't it? - pierce
[2007-10-09 18:16:30] - http://www.cnbc.com/id/21209903 Check out the results on this poll. It's funny how completely out of whack internet polls are compared to the real world. -Paul
[2007-10-09 16:40:39] - what policy? ~a
[2007-10-09 15:50:13] - gurkie: At the time I worked for the Catholic Diocese of Arlington. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-09 15:35:29] - Xpovos: urm... where do you work? ~gurkie
[2007-10-09 15:14:30] - gurkie: I went to the parish to ensure they were in compliance with the policy as required by my office. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-09 14:42:37] - Xpovos: what does "audited" a parish mean? Is it the same thing as auditing a class? Sitting in but not getting any credit? ~gurkie
[2007-10-09 14:40:07] - well probably not in mclean. mclean is a very well off area. ~a
[2007-10-09 14:34:09] - a: I audited a parish in McLean. Money is not the issue for a lot of places. Naturally, places where people are less well off (like my own parish) wouldn't be able to shell out for this on the same level... -- Xpovos
[2007-10-09 14:23:41] - i'm not being sarcastic.
~a[2007-10-09 14:17:11] - a: no doubt it is a great way to instill young people with moral values. - mig
[2007-10-09 14:15:43] - a graph that displays how much money people payed to use the hosting service "nearly free speech . net". ~a
[2007-10-09 13:39:14] - "If you want to connect with young teenage boys and drag them into church, free alcohol and pornographic movies would do it" sounds like a plan. ~a

[2007-10-09 11:13:18] - i must admit ga is much more important then va plus i was there first!!! stupid people moving near me and hiding my house... i mean i love va
~gurkie[2007-10-09 11:07:29] - paul:
~a[2007-10-09 10:52:37] - a: Agreed. I won't be too upset for selling a bunch of stocks too early after the debacle that was AMD.
-Paul[2007-10-09 10:20:09] - with many many other stocks, GOOG is on the list of things i sold too soon. i sold GOOG at 550. i guess better to sell too soon than too late, right? ~a
[2007-10-09 09:53:04] - http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hruby/071008&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab2pos1 Interesting article about professional gaming. -Paul
[2007-10-09 09:47:03] - Paul: GOOG's up big too. Wishing I'd bought at $480 now, when I was thinking of it. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-08 17:37:08] - a: Holy crap, I haven't been following Amazon at all. It's at $95 now!? I remember thinking about buying some when it was around $40. -Paul
[2007-10-08 17:36:15] - a: *wink* - pierce
[2007-10-08 17:30:32] - pierce: please tell me you bought some AMZN. it's not often you see a stock triple in 1 year let alone double in 6 months. ~a
[2007-10-08 17:08:38] - aba: yeah after hitting enter, i realized what i said was confusing ^_^; -amy
[2007-10-08 17:08:28] - a: i take back what i said. please don't cover va 0.) -amy
[2007-10-08 17:07:59] - amy: for a minute there i thought you were talking about georgia and virginia. O_o - aba
[2007-10-08 17:06:28] - that's why i wanted to zoom in
~a[2007-10-08 17:04:46] - poor ga. stupid va covers them. -amy
[2007-10-08 16:43:41] - i.e. price is $xMILLION and earnings is $yMILLION. basically i want the market capitalization + all the other kinds of capitalization. ~a
[2007-10-08 16:42:59] - i've asked this question before, but never really got a good answer. i'm hoping someone has figured this out by now. if i have a stock, i can pretty easily find out its PE ration (price to earnings ratio). so it stands to reason, it shouldn't be that hard for me to find out the price and the earnings as seperate numbers. ~a
[2007-10-08 16:29:10] - i was thinking of zooming IN the default by one
~a[2007-10-08 16:28:18] - default zoom is too far in!
- aba[2007-10-08 15:52:13] - weeee . . . new icons ~a
[2007-10-08 15:38:19] - pierce: sounds like a reasonable theory. . . . or maybe you've been hacked. ~a
[2007-10-08 15:32:18] - a: so is this just a bug in their code/setup, which results in a harmless failure to connect for the 99.9% of users with no http server, and a harmless background load of the site for the 99.9% of remaining users who are running a web server but don't have a password-protected root? - pierce
[2007-10-08 15:31:28] - when i go to http://some-example-advertising-site.com/ i see my own webpage. ~a
[2007-10-08 15:29:40] - and by "redirecting" i don't really mean redirecting. but you know, like in /etc/hosts. ~a
[2007-10-08 15:28:46] - errr. i posted that message when i had only seen your first message. ~a
[2007-10-08 15:28:04] - pierce: they aren't redirecting to your own ip, but they might be redirecting to 127.0.0.1 (in their domain entries, or at your isp). for example (probably not the case for you, but just an example), a common ad-BLOCKING technique is to redirect advertising domain-names to 127.0.0.1. i do it at home. ~a
[2007-10-08 15:27:35] - ...and if not, then why is this happening? - pierce
[2007-10-08 15:27:14] - ...and would they be able to glean information out of it other than the actual served page, using javascript (based on the fact that I'm a more privileged user on 127.0.0.1 than they would be coming from their own IP)? - pierce
[2007-10-08 15:25:06] - so here's something curious. I recently started up an http server on my desktop, with a password-protected root directory. ever since then, I occasionally get the browser's login popup for my local machine when I'm browsing other sites. is there a reason those sites or their ads might be linking/redirecting to my own IP? ... - pierce
[2007-10-08 15:15:13] - grrr... there was supposed to be a signoff there. - pierce
[2007-10-08 15:14:55] - there was supposed to be an end quote there
[2007-10-08 15:14:44] - frankly, while both of those choices seem pretty bad, I can't believe the republicans are going for giuliani at all. his "president of 9/11 campaign is almost self-parody, and he's not a very electable republican other than that. - pierce
[2007-10-08 15:12:24] - are the polls really showing the upcoming election to be giuliani v. clinton? that makes me a sad panda. - pierce
[2007-10-08 15:11:30] - a: I don't put bumper stickers on my car. -Paul
[2007-10-08 14:52:31] - thanks guys! - aba
[2007-10-08 14:47:42] - paul: my coworker has a ron paul bumper sticker. where's your bumper sticker? ~a
[2007-10-08 14:45:57] - aba: pgadmin (the standalone application) is very very very cool and i wish there was a version of pgadmin that worked with mysql. ~a
[2007-10-08 14:45:55] - aba: I use phpmyadmin also. I really like it. I hate using the command version of mysql - vinnie
[2007-10-08 14:45:42] - aba: hmmm. i didn't really care for phpmyadmin (the web application), but it was FAR better than just using the command-line. ~a
[2007-10-08 14:36:14] - I don't normally consider myself a conspiracy theorist, but there have been enough things like this that it makes me kinda wonder sometimes. -Paul
[2007-10-08 14:35:40] - http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2007/10/08/post_123.html?hpid=topnews It's interesting that the Ron Paul link for this article redirects to the Mike Huckabee bio. -Paul
[2007-10-08 14:32:11] - a: what was your impression of it?
- aba[2007-10-08 14:28:10] - i've also used pgadmin (the standalone application). ~a
[2007-10-08 14:27:38] - yes, i've used an application like it. i.e. the mysql version of phppgadmin: phpmyadmin. ~a
[2007-10-08 14:21:03] - anyone ever used an application like this http://sourceforge.net/projects/phppgadmin/ ? - aba
[2007-10-08 09:56:42] - a: ugh, the lines for that are going to be killer. *rimshot* - pierce
[2007-10-08 09:39:39] - "science" roller coaster that goes straight down. click on the picture at the top. ~a
[2007-10-07 20:13:50] - a:
- pierce[2007-10-07 19:21:08] - a: now here it is, your moment of shut the fuck up. - pierce
[2007-10-07 16:09:01] - you've been watching too much of the daily show. ~a
[2007-10-07 15:44:13] - mmm... that's some good expert testimony. - pierce
[2007-10-07 13:21:55] - overall
[2007-10-05 14:49:55] - bye aaron. ~a
[2007-10-05 14:35:05] - aaron: GET TO DA CHOPPAH! - Kaleb
[2007-10-05 12:50:45] - a: oh no that was intentional
[2007-10-05 12:22:01] - title: you forgot the underscores. ~a
[2007-10-05 11:56:09] - Paul: You were right. Pierce has confirmed: humor through bludgeoning the non-obvious. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-05 11:06:06] -
[2007-10-05 11:05:39] -
~a[2007-10-05 10:57:20] - a: also, I was making fun of the irony of you making a spelling error while pedantically correcting me. I know the difference between "it's" and "its", and if you believe otherwise than your deluding you'reself. - pierce
[2007-10-05 10:55:17] - a: you're not understanding me. I realize that wikipedia has relatively objective official standards for what is or is not meritorious. But in practice, WP is what it is: a reference for almost anything of note regardless of encyclopaedic value. So you shouldn't be surprised that trivial-but-noteworthy things like lolcats make it in. - pierce
[2007-10-05 10:47:51] - aaron: however, the {{wayback}} template is incompatible with the {{cite web}} template. you can use the archiveurl/archivedate parameters to {{cite web}}: template:cite web. ~a
[2007-10-05 10:46:03] - aaron: depending on the link in question. if the link is unimportant, than delete it. if the link is a citation, i'd probably try to use the web archive / wayback machine (web.archive.org). the template: {{wayback|URL|DESCRIPTION}} puts it into a predefined format. ~a
[2007-10-05 10:33:20] - a: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rocky_road_ice_cream&diff=162461778&oldid=160511918 is this what you usually do if you find a dead link? or do you remove the statement the link was citing too, or mark it unsourced, or take it to the talk page? - aaron
[2007-10-05 10:16:14] - Xpovos: I find that most of Pierce's humor is through the non-obvious.
-Paul[2007-10-05 10:14:17] - vinnie: I figured he was too, which is why I figured pierce would hit that rather than a false grammar assertion. Unless the attempt was at humor through the non-obvious. But generally that requires more set-up. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-05 10:11:18] - or WP:SEWAGE or WP:ININ. ~a
[2007-10-05 10:08:00] - pierce: WP:WAX implies that we can't look to other articles for guidance on what should/should not exist. ~a
[2007-10-05 10:07:26] - aba: no doubt. ~a
[2007-10-05 10:06:23] - pierce is a noob.
- aba[2007-10-05 09:19:00] - chirp chirp chirp
[2007-10-05 09:14:23] - ok, now that that is over with. what exactly were we talking about? ~a
[2007-10-05 09:06:37] - everybody go to hell!
~a[2007-10-05 09:06:08] - vinnie: fuck you. ~a
[2007-10-05 09:01:42] - a: I thought you were being facetious with "strait" - vinnie
[2007-10-05 08:48:50] - maybe he didn't attack it because he made the same mistake i did. ~a
[2007-10-05 08:47:38] - oh right. straight. god damnit. ~a
[2007-10-05 08:43:48] - I figured he'd at least attack the 'strait'. -- Xpovos
[2007-10-05 08:38:46] - pierce: are you joking? because if not, you're VERY wrong. ~a
[2007-10-05 08:27:57] - a: it's "its", get it'strait. - pierce
[2007-10-05 07:12:54] - it's meritorious, get it strait. ~a
[2007-10-05 06:35:46] - a: you're right, it is subjective. which is why I was defining it relative to existing WP articles... like Duke Nukem Forever - pierce
[2007-10-05 06:32:38] - wtf is "meritous"? what idiot invented that word? <.< - pierce
[2007-10-04 16:58:08] - a: I usually show up around 5:45-6:00, depending on when I leave work - vinnie
[2007-10-04 16:33:57] - "meritorious" is very subjective. unless you're defining them against wikipedia policies. ~a

[2007-10-04 10:01:51] - Wired's RSS feed this morning had a link to an article that sounded weird, so I clicked it. Bad idea. "YouTube Pulls Plug on NSFW Robot Sex Movie". I think, "Oh, it'll be an article on censorship in the digital age." Well, it might be, but I never got to read it, because the page had a stored copy of said NSFW video. I closed that window fast. -- Xpovos

[2007-10-03 10:51:53] - a: Yeah, the zip code is pretty big, but the population density is a lot lower, which is weird, given the proximity to a highway. Anway, it's a nice place, and I like the location a lot better. Never been to Fountainhead, though, I'll check it out. -- Xpovos

- vinnie[2007-10-03 09:13:32] - Xpovos: Where is your new place going to be? -Paul
[2007-10-03 07:48:44] - aba: Interesting site. My new place will get a 40/100, my current gets a 29. This doesn't surpise me in the least. -- Xpovos

[2007-10-02 18:14:35] - aba: I could probably walk to the town center in 10-15 minutes. We actually never drove to the town center, I don't think. We drove to Plaza America, which is a little farther away. -Paul
[2007-10-02 18:13:40] - Gurkie: I will need some persuading to go. I like drinking, but not sure about the chilling and gossiping. What other fun stuff would there be to do?
-Paul[2007-10-02 17:53:43] - paul: how long does it take to walk to the reston towne center from you? we always drive so i have no concept of what's near you.
- aba[2007-10-02 17:46:22] - gurkie: i do! i want to gossip and... oh .( well you guys have fun then. and sure you can be the street team leader (when did it become a gang??), looks like stephen lost his chance this time! -amy

[2007-10-02 15:12:38] - it was just a surreal experience to run into him so far away from home.
- aba[2007-10-02 15:11:42] - xpovos: he went to high school at tj with most of us. i haven't seen him in 8ish years but some people who post here are friends with him. - aba
[2007-10-02 15:09:29] - I should note, that neither do I, which is why I was using Wikipedia. -- Xpovos

[2007-10-02 13:38:08] - a: I think they might be thinking that Dan Ceperley founded a university? -Paul
[2007-10-02 12:57:23] - anon: i'm not sure. is there a punchline coming or are you serious?
~a[2007-10-02 12:49:57] - LOL I meant how do you recognize their face on the street... it's just so random.

[2007-10-01 18:56:06] - anon: or are you asking how you would pick a founder out of a crowd? ~a
[2007-10-01 18:52:39] - anon: you want to give a present to a founder of your university? i guessing they like donations. get some company to donate to the university. ~a
[2007-10-01 18:40:20] - How does one recognize a random founder of a university? Or am I just a dork? ... I do agree he is good lookin'
[2007-10-01 17:42:50] - dan ceperley is hot! ~a
[2007-10-01 17:28:25] - i randomly met dan ceperley while going to get lunch today! - aba
[2007-10-01 15:37:38] - aba: good point. I think that makes a lot of sense. The shirt itself isnt so much offensive as the store is completely wrong. ~gurkie
