~a[2008-06-03 13:23:59] - paul: so that's a yes. ~a
[2008-06-03 13:22:20] - a: Well, we only have the house from Saturday to Saturday. That's why it's 8 days and not 9. -Paul
[2008-06-03 13:06:55] - paul: people are planning on being in nova for father's day, right? that's why it's 8 days and not 9? ~a
[2008-06-03 12:58:24] - xpovos: maybe. why? ~a
[2008-06-03 12:10:15] - have you guys seen wikia.com its wikipedia's web search engine where you can rank the results to better them... ~gurkie

[2008-06-03 11:06:31] - rurrr ~a
[2008-06-03 09:46:09] - a: fUf'
- aaron[2008-06-02 15:42:54] - Vinnie: Check the foil then, you probably got gyped that way. Like it was supposed to be a rare foil and you probably got an uncommon. I think that's one of the reasons they've set it up the way the have now. And they also monkeyed aroud with the rarities (C1/C2) (U1/U2) for some sets before... -- Xpovos
[2008-06-02 15:13:16] - the only thing they've really changed along rarity lines is making certain cards more common than other cards of the same rarity. like for instance, I think Desert in Arabian Nights was supposed to be printed 10 times as many times as the other commons, purposely - vinnie
[2008-06-02 15:10:58] - that said, I have opened an Invasion starter deck that had only two rares in it
- vinnie[2008-06-02 15:10:19] - xpovos: ass talking. I've heards rumors of all-rare misprint packs, but WOTC has used the same methods since the start to ensure each starter and booster have the same numbers of rare-uncommon-common as any other one in the set - vinnie
[2008-06-02 14:21:14] - Vinnie: One guy, who I entirely believe to have been talking out of his ass, was saying that with the earliest sets the packs had no defined rarity ratios. That is, a pack of alpha might have 15 rares (on some incomprehensible day). Is that true? -- Xpovos
[2008-06-02 13:50:11] - hah true. you used to get 2-3 land in a Revised booster. and a Deathlace as your rare
- vinnie[2008-06-02 13:40:16] - I don't understand reintroducing the basic land bit but I guess it's still better than 3rd ed... Maybe they were really upset about running out of forests at our Shadowmoor prerelease - aaron
[2008-06-02 11:41:20] - I wonder how this will affect Limited. 5 packs exponential at 7/8 (not getting any mythic rares) -> ~51%. Vs. 49% getting at least one. Will those 49% have an unfair advantage? -- Xpovos
[2008-06-02 11:17:00] - I've thought about the statistics and think I've found the loophole they're using. The odds of getting a specific mythic rare vs. a specific rare is probably about 2:1. -- Xpovos
[2008-06-02 10:54:18] - vinnie: And I'm still not convinced that the mythic rare is twice as rare. If I need to open 8 packs to get one, then it's still 7 times as rare until something proves to me otherwise. But I'm not horribly upset by that... I'm willing to give it a chance. -- Xpovos
[2008-06-02 10:53:21] - vinnie: Precisely, and though I suppose it does help a little to get a few more, or to at least be shown that I can get land, etc. Replacing the common? Why not replace that stupid pro-player bit. What new player wants a card telling them about a pro player? -- Xpovos
[2008-06-02 10:43:58] - xpovos: the basic land annoys me most too. I have a really hard time believing that one land helps anyone. even if I was a newcomer who didn't want to buy a land pack and couldn't bum lands off my friends, I'd have to buy like 60 packs to get the 12 swamps and 12 islands I need for my deck? that's nutty - vinnie
[2008-06-02 10:41:35] - xpovos: yeah now that I've read the article the mythic rare doesn't bother me too much. twice as hard to get as a normal rare, not a huge issue. I was expecting these rares to be extremely hard to get, which would make their demand ridiculous if the card was good - vinnie
[2008-06-02 10:10:11] - Vinnie: Rosewater wrote an article explaining it, and it helps some. I'm still not totally convinced. Oddly the item that annoys me most is the loss of the 11th common for the basic land. And they have a good reason for that, but come on, just toss in a basic land in additon. Not exactly a high demand issue. -- Xpovos
[2008-06-02 09:37:31] - mythic rare?? *eyeroll* - vinnie
[2008-06-02 09:23:36] - Vinnie: This does not make me feel very good about the future of MtG. -- Xpovos
[2008-06-01 10:56:15] - hehe okay it works. i just got it backwards. i guess i was probably using a different wiki's format. at work, we have a wiki where we use ][ as a delimiter instead of | - aaron

[2008-05-30 16:28:19] - aaron: that's interesting: in spherical geometry, AAA is sufficient for congruence. that's some crazy shit. ~a
[2008-05-30 16:09:14] - one syntax is html and one is mediawiki. ~a
[2008-05-30 15:51:30] - aaron: you're confusing two syntaxes. either use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_%28geometry%29#Congruence_of_triangles">faulty proof for congruency of two triangles</a> or use [[congruence (geometry)#Congruence of triangles|faulty proof for congruency of two triangles]] ~a
[2008-05-30 15:20:46] - a:
what did i do! - aaron[2008-05-30 15:20:29] - sam: it's also a faulty proof for congruency of two triangles - aaron

[2008-05-29 14:21:25] - vinnie: i read that: i still have like "oh noes!" i thought you were being miguel. ~a
[2008-05-29 14:20:48] - aaron: oh i see. ~a

[2008-05-29 14:08:56] - a: 777600000 = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 9, that's where the 9 comes into play- aaron
[2008-05-29 14:02:47] - gurkie: you make me smile for a completely different reason. ~a
[2008-05-29 13:56:41] - (((System.currentTimeMillis() - 777600000L)/(DateUtils.MILLIS_PER_DAY * 7))&1L) == 1L?"sfm":"nvcc" is simpler. ~a
[2008-05-29 13:52:38] - aaron: i'm not sure where 9 comes into play. also, i found a few other problems (7776000 instead of 777600). here's the corrected code: (((System.currentTimeMillis()/1000 - 777600L)/(DateUtils.MILLIS_PER_DAY/1000 * 7))&1L) == 1L?"sfm":"nvcc" ~a
[2008-05-29 13:40:41] - a: well that messes up my division. i'll just set the offset to (9 * DateUtils.MILLIS_PER_DAY). I was wondering what the significance of that number was - aaron
[2008-05-29 13:27:21] - u dorks! (u make me smile) ~gurkie
[2008-05-29 13:22:39] - however . . . i think it's coincidental because i think your code is wrong (it's my fault though). i didn't specify that now returns seconds since midnight 1-1-1970 in every implementation except java. use System.currentTimeMillis()/1000 ~a
[2008-05-29 13:18:08] - aaron: yep. ~a
[2008-05-29 13:12:06] - a: so nvcc? - aaron

~a[2008-05-23 17:52:38] - in other words, you're using an artifact of their design decision as evidence to support a different design decision, even though that artifact wouldn't necessarily apply if you changed the premise. - pierce
[2008-05-23 17:50:39] - a: but they're free to do that because B cannot have static members. thus, it doesn't matter that a1.b.getClass() and a2.b.getClass() return the same thing because there's no way for a1.B and a2.B to be functionally different. - pierce
[2008-05-23 17:22:58] - pierce: bad news! System.out.println(a.b.getClass() == a2.b.getClass()); (prints out true) ~a
[2008-05-23 17:16:51] - pierce: my officemate said (converted to your parlance) a.b.getClass() != a2.b.getClass(), therefore a1.b.s != a2.b.s, furthermore this is too confusing to exist. ~a
[2008-05-23 17:14:44] - pierce: you've brought up the same argument as my officemate. i'm slowly starting to agree with both of you. ~a
[2008-05-23 16:54:45] - a: what would be the scope of a static member of a non-static inner class? assuming (A -> B -> s) as the outer class, inner class, and static member respectively, does (a1.B.s == a2.B.s)? I can see both arguments, that it should and shouldn't. - pierce
[2008-05-23 15:33:15] - in java, regular (non-static) inner classes should be allowed to have static members. whoever disallowed static members in non-static inner classes was just being dumb. ~a

[2008-05-13 09:19:59] - a: I bought a new one via the recent woot off. I'll post on it as soon as it arrives and I've given it a test drive. -- Xpovos
[2008-05-13 06:47:24] - aba: that's exactly what pierce said. it lacks model on purpose. i don't really care about model; i'm more interested in knowing what camera makers are good. you're free to put model if you want though. ~a
[2008-05-13 02:15:43] - the digital camera link lacks model? - aba
[2008-05-12 23:57:14] - the average male has sex once a week. if you can double down, then your life expectancy increases by three years. -sc

[2008-05-12 18:45:34] - pierce: you actually counted? ~a
[2008-05-12 17:05:14] - mig: well your two posts so far on the subject have been 145 characters total, all of which would've been saved if you'd used tab completion.
- pierce[2008-05-12 16:01:30] - mig: when it doesn't obfuscate organization, i opt for directory/file names that allow for easier tab completion. ~a
[2008-05-12 15:56:16] - a: there are enough similarly named subprojects that tab completion won't save me many keystrokes. - mig
[2008-05-12 15:53:17] - xpovos: tab completion. if i wanted to "cd jcrm-war" but i knew that there was only one directory that started with "jc" then i would type "cd jc<TAB>" and bash (or cmd in microsoftxp/microsoftvista) would fill in the rest. ~a
[2008-05-12 15:32:38] - a: Clarify, please. What is tab completion? -- Xpovos
[2008-05-12 15:19:34] - mig: you obviously don't use tab completion. and you hate dual screens because you don't use tab completion. tab completion would have put you past this input box before you hit enter. ~a
[2008-05-12 14:55:42] - Xpovos: I understand the audience being into it, and it was pretty cool, I just didn't understand the backstage thing and the talk about it being a surprise. -Paul
[2008-05-12 14:48:20] - sometimes i hate dual screens.... - mig

[2008-05-12 14:06:05] - Paul: I dodn't get what they were all excited about either, but the first dude could dance... definitely acknowledge that. -- Xpovos
[2008-05-12 13:55:54] - a: you can call it a business decision. if they don't relax their policies then they will lose the business from people visiting, therefore costing their country money. a poor argument, i'll admit, but it's one they can make. - mig
[2008-05-12 13:32:02] - apparently, china is going to disable their censorship policies for many visitors to china during the 2008 olympics. you'd think that they would leave the blockers enabled if they felt what they were doing was normal and acceptable. so they know what they're doing is wrong? ~a
[2008-05-12 13:26:01] - oh. maybe referring to the fact that there turned out to be two people dancing? ~a
[2008-05-12 13:08:26] - a: In the youtube video. -Paul
[2008-05-12 13:07:25] - surprise? ~a
[2008-05-12 12:55:30] - aba: I'm confused. What was the surprise? -Paul

[2008-05-12 10:03:33] - combed-back should be hyphenated, people! don't fill our minds with those images
- vinnie[2008-05-10 22:49:23] - hmmm. i wonder how i missed that. ~a
[2008-05-10 22:11:27] - a: i think he mis-read it as the hair on his back was neatly combed. - aba
[2008-05-10 20:15:16] - i don't get it. what did you read it as? combed back head? combed black hair? ~a

[2008-05-09 10:58:26] - paul: well to be honest, having 4 may not be such a bad idea. from my experience the one controlling Russia rarely has any fun... - mig
[2008-05-09 10:06:17] - What a deal!
[2008-05-08 20:34:10] - EARTHQUAKE! ~a
[2008-05-08 15:34:19] - Paul: You and Dave could always come down to Woodbridge to do stuff with Vinnie and I. -- Xpovos
[2008-05-08 15:24:23] - Sam: Yeah, I know you can play with 2-4, but I just personally feel like the best is to go with either 2 or 5 since having something in between unbalances the countries and people. -Paul
[2008-05-08 15:01:35] - sam: honestly, 3v1 kinda sucks with 4 people. probably would be better to have 2 on allies and have 1 control russia and someone else. - mig
[2008-05-08 14:32:04] - aaron: yeah, I'll be there today - vinnie
[2008-05-08 14:26:40] - paul: oh, and for 3 players, 1 can control all allied nations, 1 can controls the nazis, and 1 can control the japanese. -sam
[2008-05-08 14:20:58] - ddr_people: sfm? - aaron
[2008-05-08 14:19:38] - paul: it can be 2 or 4 player also. for 2 players, 1 can control usa, ussr, uk, and the other can control the nazis and japan. for 4 players, 1 each for the 3 allied nations and 1 player for the axis -sam
[2008-05-08 12:52:02] - Gurkie: Not necessarily too unbalanced, just that if we can't get the ideal numbers (and right now it could be anything from 2-4), then we might as not bother trying to organize something. -Paul
[2008-05-08 12:50:28] - paul: if u dont need 5 why wont it happen unless u have 5? Is it too unbalanced? ~gurkie
[2008-05-08 12:47:27] - Gurkie: Well, it's a five player game (USSR, Germany, UK, Japan, USA). You don't need 5 but that's what it is designed for. -Paul
[2008-05-08 12:45:11] - ~gurkie
[2008-05-08 12:45:08] - paul: why do you need 5 for axis and allies?
[2008-05-08 12:44:06] - Sam: Also, Axis and Allies sounds like it might not happen unless you AND Adrian are both able to do it and we find a fifth. -Paul
[2008-05-08 12:21:39] - Sam: Not yet. I also stretched myself a bit and bought a more expensive house than I was planning to buy. -Paul
[2008-05-08 12:10:13] - Sam: No, when I bought I purchased outside of my price range and really extended myself. Plus I dont really plan on living in my place for thirty years, so there isnt a reason to look for a house I could raise a family in. (And I like having extra money at times) ~gurkie
[2008-05-08 12:09:11] - mig: yeah, but i think i underestimated my monthly income... -sam
[2008-05-08 12:08:08] - do any of you home owners regret not going for a better/more expensive home? -sam
[2008-05-08 12:07:02] - sam: some lenders don't let you do it (or penalize you for doing so), so you'd have to make sure you could before getting the mortgage. - mig
[2008-05-08 12:03:21] - unfortunately, at the time i bought my condo, i didn't really take pay raises into consideration... so whenever i have excess amount of money in my bank account, i regret not going for a better home. -sam
[2008-05-08 12:00:56] - about paying extra to the mortage.... if i knew i could pay extra to my mortage on a regular basis, i think i would have rather purchased a better and more expensive home. -sam
[2008-05-08 11:59:57] - paul: i might be able to make it to axis and allies, although i got some stuff to do and places to go. please let me know if it's gonna happen. -sam
[2008-05-08 11:44:38] - actually i prolly have extra tickets if people want to go and sit there... let me know ~gurkie
[2008-05-08 11:42:40] - oh bahahaha. i read "my SQL" and read that as "mysql". ~a
[2008-05-08 11:41:36] - a: Thanks! That fixed it. I had to jimmy around with it since I'm using a DB package (MDB2) and had to go locate the equivilant in that, but I found it, and it works. Now: why didn't reset($obj) work? It seems like they -ought- to do the same thing. -- Xpovos
[2008-05-08 11:41:28] - The game is at 7:30 tonight! I got 4 seats in section 406 row 2 ~gurkie
[2008-05-08 11:41:03] - Hey VW owners get free tickets to see DC United tonight... I just got 4 tickets... If you want to also get tickets goto: http://www.ticketmaster.com/promo/0j4l5l that link with code VWDCUNITED. ~Gurkie
