19:16, Duskesko> believe it or not, there are equations to figure that out
19:18, Megagun> http://mooses.nl/index.php?P=radio woo
20:01, Skinnymon whispers: So...what he's trying to tell us with this is, "An Idle Mind is a Moose's Playground?" :twisted:
23:18, Hello! :)> 15:39, Cryoburner> Vista just adds a bloated interface without adding much new content. <<< Most of it seems like background changes rather than UI changes, from my now pretty well informed experience with it.
23:21, Cryoburner> "No response from moos.es radio! Maybe, moos.es radio is down?" woo?
23:22, Cryoburner> Yeah, but don't the background changes just make everything slower without adding anything really useful? :P
23:28, Hello! :)> What would you want then?
00:33, Duskesko> arg! silicon caulk tube burst at the ass end while i was finishing up something. T_T
00:35, Duskesko> moos.es radio: bringing you top quality silence!
00:37, Tom> Shouldn't that be mee.se?
00:40, Duskesko> i think it should be moose
00:40, Duskesko> but, this is megagun.
00:43, Duskesko> now i want to own panti.es
00:49, Alex> bah, still troubles with the connection, comes and goes, being out of sync most of the time
00:50, Duskesko> well hello there, Alex!
00:50, Alex> yeah hello anyway :)
00:52, Alex> I should be disappointed, but... not so much. I couldn't release Lino yet anyway. I'm losing some days on making diagrams with photoshop.
00:54, Alex> because at least a bare minimum amount of documentation sounds really necessary. I hope to be done within the coming week, however.
01:02, Duskesko> hey deanfrz!
01:02, Deanfrz> hey!
01:02, Deanfrz> its a big party
01:02, Deanfrz> 58 minutes to new battlestar!
01:03, Duskesko> Alex is here, EVERYTHING is a party!
01:04, Deanfrz> Hey Alex, I cant resist so... how's NV coming?
01:04, Deanfrz> I love that curse
01:04, Duskesko> BEST CURSE EVAR!
01:06, Deanfrz> wow, 2 minutes to drive away, record time!
01:08, Duskesko is amazed.
01:16, Deanfrz is not
01:18, Duskesko is going to go get some dinner
02:17, Duskesko> well, that was tasty.
03:17, Hello! :) whispers: postline is being colorific again, RJ is blue...
03:20, Raptorjedi> Blue like this? :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL2UsAbI1hg
03:21, Hello! :)> More like this seasickening blue :P... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiXtIw4fMEU
03:35, Duskesko> http://www.luxcorp.org/nitsud/car_rearpass.jpg BLUE LIKE MY NEW TAILLIGHT JOB!
03:36, Duskesko> oh shi, wrong link http://www.luxcorp.org/nitsud/taillightmod.jpg
03:36, Hello! :) whispers: I was gonna say, that car looks grey. :P
03:47, Raptorjedi mehs at the car
03:47, Raptorjedi> Waste of money :P
03:50, Chad> Monies!
03:53, Raptorjedi> A car should get you from point A to point B. That is all.
03:53, Raptorjedi> It probably shouldn't pollute the atmosphere either, but that is still a ways off from being common place.
03:54, Raptorjedi> Things a car should not do: Cost stupid amounts of money based purely on how it looks. Be designed for looks over function.
03:56, Hello! :) yells: WELCOME TO AMERICA! THE LAND OF "LOOKS GOOD!"
03:58, Raptorjedi> aka The Land Where RJ Rides the Bus
03:59, Hello! :) yells: MASS TRANSIT FOR THE INFINITELY GREATEST AND INFINITELY BEST WIN!
03:59, Hello! :)> Ok I'll stop shouting, I take the bus/train/walk too.
04:00, Raptorjedi> I've been in a car maybe 5-10 times in the last two years.
04:15, Chad> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2avdf289OY&eurl=http://pushingpixels.net/
04:25, Raptorjedi> I saw that on VGCats, it's great
04:29, Cryoburner> Heh... That gets awesome once the Kira theme starts. :)
04:34, Cryoburner> You have to love that smile on his face while everyone's dying.
04:36, Duskesko> my car's built by toyota, very reliable. i got a sexy car because i wanted a sexy fuckin car
04:37, Duskesko> and buses aren't a means of transportation around here
04:38, Cryoburner> You have to admit, the Scions do have cool advertisements. :)
04:39, Cryoburner> Like this one, for example... http://anywherebb.com/postline/cd/jpgs/H9cjdykiixWe7eRheW3hbd5en1.jpg
04:41, Duskesko> Scions are nice entry level vehciles targetting young people. Toyota also makes Lexus as a luxury line.
04:41, Raptorjedi> Still. Cars server a purpose. To get us places.
04:42, Duskesko> Mine was 17 thousand (us dollars) brand new. '06 fully loaded (can't get them NOT loaded)
04:42, Raptorjedi> I imagine they would be a lot cheaper if people stopped designing them to be flashy.
04:42, Duskesko> gets 30 miles a gallon and seats 4 maybe 5 with a hatch back
04:43, Cryoburner> You could probably fit a couple more in the trunk.
04:43, Duskesko> seats fold forward so i can carry plenty cargo. i've transported bicycles
04:43, Duskesko> the hatch in the back is huge.
04:44, Duskesko> optional toyota supercharger if you like more horsepower, meh
04:44, Cryoburner> How about riding lawnmowers?
04:44, Chad> More powers!
04:44, Duskesko> i agree. point A to B. but, it helps when you drive a nice car. i'm not taking the boss to lunch on a lawnmower
04:44, Raptorjedi> Maybe my dislike for cars is clouding my vision, but I think most of that is unneeded fluff :P
04:45, Duskesko> it is clouding your vision. however, if i lived in japan, i would be just like you.
04:45, Raptorjedi> Duskesko, if you need to impress your boss with your flashy car, you have a problem with your job and should find a new one :P
04:46, Chad> Get a BMW M3.
04:46, Duskesko> ... not impressing my boss. if i need to go to a conference with my coworkers i'd like to be able to earn brownie popints.
04:47, Cryoburner> My car has more horsepower than a Scion. :)
04:47, Raptorjedi> I just can't understand. I'm not a material person. I mean, I have things, but I rarely have new things and I buy for function over looks every time.
04:47, Duskesko> i want an old crown victoria with a v8 and offroad suspension
04:47, Cryoburner whispers: Even with the turbocharger. :P
04:48, Raptorjedi> I can't see why someone would pay 17000 for a flashy new car when they can get an older one for a thousand dollars that works just fine :P
04:48, Duskesko> well
04:49, Duskesko> 1000 dollars and you may need to buy another car
04:49, Duskesko> i picked my car because toyota dominates the reliable car list. i won't be paying for another car for a long time
04:49, Cryoburner> A new car should usually be more reliable.
04:50, Duskesko> im not gonna buy a cheap used crapheap and then have top pay to fix it every month
04:50, Raptorjedi> Proper care will keep it just as reliable.
04:50, Duskesko> care = money
04:50, Cryoburner> Even if I install speed holes in your car to make it go faster?
04:53, Raptorjedi looks at everyone all confused.
04:53, Chad> Cars make the world go round.
04:54, Raptorjedi> This whole thing baffles me. I still can't understand why my sister needs enough clothes to fill three closets. She doesn't even go places she would wear them. They are mostly namebrand too.
04:54, Raptorjedi> I have two pairs of pants and maybe six shirts, and I don't have a problem.
04:55, Chad> People just like to have stuff...
04:55, Raptorjedi> I like having stuff too! My stuff just doesn't cost 50 bucks for a shirt.
04:58, Cryoburner whispers: I probably have too many clothes.
05:01, Chad> I need to redo my clothes... I've had some of it for way to long.
05:02, Duskesko> my style leaves a LOT to be desired
05:03, Duskesko> heh, i like wearing a navy tshirt with slacks to walmart
05:03, Duskesko> that's dress code for employees >:D nehehehehe
05:04, Cryoburner> Lawlmart.
05:07, Duskesko> "Can you help this lady get a tv down?" "No."
05:08, Duskesko> Or "Sure, just back your car into the store!"
05:09, Cryoburner> That's fun!
05:10, Duskesko> It's the worst dress code ever. No one wears special vests anymore. Just wear a dark blue tshirt with nice beige slacks.
05:10, Duskesko> And try and look important but unhelpful. presto!
05:13, Chad> So... just liek the real workers?
05:14, Cryoburner> You could make some of these vests and spend the day at Walmart! http://msnbcmedia4.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/061020/061020_wal-mar t_hmed_5p.hmedium.jpg
05:14, Cryoburner whispers: Or you could not, and spend your day someplace worthwhile.
05:43, Duskesko> well, i just said they don't wear those anymore.
05:48, Cryoburner> Then if you ARE wearing one, you'll be the first to get asked for assistance! :D
05:49, Cryoburner> Or do like Improv Everywhere, and overwhelm them with numbers! http://improveverywhere.com/2006/04/23/best-buy/
10:28, Cryoburner> Hmm... is the anywherebb url acting up again? It was working yesterday. :\
11:42, Fth> http://xkcd.com/chesscoaster/
15:51, Stargazer laughs: http://xkcd.com/401/
15:54, Stargazer whispers: actually though, even if they don't find the Higgs Boson, that will still be triumph, as it would indicate that the most successful scientific theory of all time is finally wrong about something. :)
16:01, Megagun> 04:49, Duskesko> 1000 dollars and you may need to buy another car
16:01, Megagun> Learn how to buy cars and you won't have to.
16:56, Duskesko> http://www.luxcorp.org/anticlimb.html
16:57, Duskesko> i think some people here don't realise that i already did learn how to buy cars
17:04, Raptorjedi> Yeah, how to buy stupid cars :P
17:09, Amayirot akago> I almost misread that URL as LexCorp :P
17:20, Megagun> Yeah, a Scion is like totally a good car that's good value for your money.. :P
17:40, Duskesko> the scion tc was rated really well in consumer digest.
17:41, Duskesko> we decided to make an investment in something that would last instead of buying shit that needed replacing
17:41, Duskesko> now stop bashing my fucking car, you high horse immaterial lifestylers
17:42, Duskesko> imma go put my taillights back in and wire up the geeky lighting in added
17:42, Duskesko> oh, the paranoia mission is getting gooooood =3
17:43, Xenomorph> Want to join in? ;)
17:49, Speeder> In fact I wanted to join in myself since a looooong time ago (before it started), but since I keep not using internet randomly (sometimes I use all days, sometimes only once a month) I can not...
