02:47 < Ironholds> that's kinda rude of him
02:47 < Ironholds> I'd more describe Ryan as a thin streak of piss, and that's a No. 1
02:48 < foks> so he's not going for the hispanic dude?
02:49 < mareklug> we're supposed to have the announcement "on Saturday morning"   it's 5:49 now
02:49 < foks> lies, it's 10:45
02:49 < foks> *49
02:50 < mareklug> i'm disappointed.  i'd think Condi Rice would've added real spice to the race
02:51 < mareklug> after all, Romney is an idiot in international relations
02:52 < Ironholds> and, y'know, about as appealing to ethnic minorities as a good lynching
02:52 < Ironholds> although I would like it noted that he is also as appealing to me, as a white dude, as a good lynching.
02:52 < Ironholds> i.e. not.
02:53 < mareklug> it will still be a close election, but with the economy improving and unemployment going down, Obama wins it

04:37 < Steven_Zhang> its really good!
04:38 < mareklug> who would think a white ozzie would silver in a 50 km walk
04:39 < Steven_Zhang> -_-
04:39 < Steven_Zhang> we are hardly lazy if thats what you're saying :P
04:40 < mareklug> you don't have a technical tradition of winning
04:40 < Steven_Zhang> -.-
04:40 < mareklug> in this quaint thing
04:40 < Steven_Zhang> USA and china cheat
04:40 < Steven_Zhang> especially china, lol
04:40 < Steven_Zhang> they torture their olympians
04:41 < Steven_Zhang> and get shot if they dont win gold :p
04:41 < mareklug> china got bronze and he definitely ran some
04:41 < Steven_Zhang> USA has enough money to make super sekret performance enhancing drugs that are undetectable
04:41 < Steven_Zhang> :P
04:41 < Ironholds> Steven_Zhang: ta
04:42 < Ironholds> mareklug: are you taking the piss? ;p
04:42 < Ironholds> the main reason Britain has so many gold medals is because we hopped over to australia and went
04:42 < Ironholds> "coaches! Who fancies a salary bump?"
04:42 < Ironholds> they've actually got a great training regime. We just snarfed most of their trainers.
04:42 < Ironholds> ah, capitalism.
04:42 < Steven_Zhang> lol
04:42 < mareklug> no, he got a warning for running, seriously.  and to my eye he later ran too, which is illegal
04:43 < mareklug> 3 warnings and you're out
04:43 < Ironholds> also, a 50km walk is like, the australian national tradition
04:43 < Ironholds> although they call it "popping down to the nearest offie"
04:43 < ToAruShiroiNeko> if aliens were to invade earth which city would they dare try to take over last?
04:43 < mareklug> why don't they have gold medals in it?
04:43 < Ironholds> ToAruShiroiNeko: hmn. london.
04:43 < Ironholds> we'd cut the slags.
04:44 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Ironholds I dont mean during the olympics.
04:44 < Ironholds> I still maintain that answer.
04:44 < ToAruShiroiNeko> london is already invaded by aliens multiple times
04:45 < Steven_Zhang> lol a 50km walk would annoy me.
04:45 < Steven_Zhang> I wonder why we don't put John Howard in the powerwalking event.
04:45 < Steven_Zhang> http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/john-howard-keeps-on-walking/story-e6freuy9-1111116051615
04:46 < ToAruShiroiNeko> new olympic event, Steven_Zhang walk
04:46 < Steven_Zhang> uh?
04:46 < Steven_Zhang> How does that work :P
04:47 < ToAruShiroiNeko> a 50km walk that annoys the runner
04:48 < mareklug> Steven_Zhang:  you're supposed to have one heal/foot down at all times, which makes for a funny gait
04:48 < Steven_Zhang> i know it looks stupid
04:48 < mareklug> when they look natural, they are running
04:50 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Ironholds so is it true that the UK will host the winter olympics in london as well?

06:55 < mareklug> MartijnH:  i couldn't really find any.  this body of water for example is tagged with the general notability template http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandusky_Bay
06:56 < MartijnH> this burn would be much smaller
06:56 < MartijnH> but I also find it very unlikely that that bay is not notable

09:01 < sl3ax> hi to all. I've a question regarding DNS. If, for example, the Google DNS (8.8.8.8) for retrieve the ip of example.com works by contacting a root server ,after the .com nameserver ip and finally it had the example.com ip address and returns it back to the user. So, why not elimate the google dns server and make the request to a root server directly?
09:01 < wctaiwan> sl3ax: because then the root DNS servers (there are like..6? in the entire world) would be subject to an incredible amount of work.
09:02 < wctaiwan> (part of the reason)
09:02 < sl3ax> but google dns always should make the request

09:10 < Tony_Sidaway> I checked and caching is covered in our article on DNS. "The mechanism in this simple form would place a large operating burden on the root servers, with every search for an address starting by querying one of them. Being as critical as they are to the overall function of the system, such heavy use would create an insurmountable bottleneck for trillions of queries placed every day. In practice caching is used in DNS servers to overcome this

10:02 < russavia> that's crazy
10:02 < Dcoetzee> Very few artists are willing to embrace CC0 but I really think it's the best license for society at large.

10:12 < Dcoetzee> Oh I see
10:12 < Ironholds> all licenses and exclusive contracts of copyright transfer are, after 35 years, voidable for a period of 5 years by the author

10:14 < Dcoetzee> I understand that such provision exists to prevent exploitation, etc.
10:14 < Ironholds> yes
10:14 < Dcoetzee> But it does make it hard for us to rely on any license statement indefinitely.
10:14 < Ironholds> the authorship of that act was lobbied by both publishers and authors
10:14 < Dcoetzee> Even CC0... since PD release isn't legally possible in the US.
10:14 < Ironholds> and this was the author provision
10:14 < Ironholds> it's actually weaker than the (eminently sensible) French revocation principle
10:14 < Ironholds> which states that if I hand something to a publisher and they let it go out of print, I get the licensing back.
10:15 < Dcoetzee> I guess it's not different really from us accepting contributions from minors. We already knew those were voidable for a period.

10:16 < Dcoetzee> Ironholds: Such a principle appeals to me from the perspective of looking at how record companies exploit artists, etc. but it appears to provide no recourse for people who really want their stuff to be free, other than obviously not suing people.
10:17 < BarkingFish> okies, russavia - do you want me to post to the user, or are you going to do that?
10:17 < russavia> i can do that if you like?

10:18 < Dcoetzee> Apparently I have no option to express that preference in my will. I just have to trust them.

10:20 < russavia> np

10:21 < Dcoetzee> Yeah
10:21 < Ironholds> if you're saying congress didn't predict the future: yes;p
10:21 < Dcoetzee> I'm just saying it requires amendment :-)
10:22 < Ironholds> sue em! Argue the copyright clause allows for positive copyright but does not permit the prohibition of negative copyright
10:22 < Ironholds> and therefore the provision must exist in common law!

10:29 < Jarry1250> You can retrospectively void a transfer?
10:29 < Ironholds> you could be sorta-conniving
10:29 < Ironholds> include in your will a provision of transfer that voids the transfer provision for another 35 years
10:29 < Dcoetzee> Jarry1250: Past uses of the work would not become copyright infringement but they would lose ownership.

10:30 < Ironholds> indeed
10:30 < Ironholds> worst-case, include a will provision
10:31 < Ironholds> "you getting any of my shit is dependent on you agreeing not to void these licenses"

10:31 < Isarra> So guys, I'm reading the RfC about the level one user warnings, and there are a lot of concerns here that were never addressed... would there be any proper place to try to get them addressed?
10:31 < Jarry1250> Could work. Might not :P
10:31 < Dcoetzee> Ironholds: But if they violate that, who's going to enforce it? The executor of the will?
10:31 < Ironholds> Isarra: link?
10:31 < Jarry1250> Ironholds: In the UK, does the Tresury Solicitor administer copyright in bona vacantia? :/
10:32 < Ironholds> Dcoetzee: or the courts. over here, at least, the courts play a substantial role in trusts law, along with the AG.

10:36 < Shirik> pending changes
10:36 < Shirik> lol.
10:37 < Isarra> Most of the ones I've seen involved a lot of people raising various concerns and a lot of other people ignoring them.
10:37 < Shirik> blp-prod was the result of an RFC iirc
10:37 < Dcoetzee> WP needs some radical changes. But naturally such changes face more criticism.
10:37 < Ironholds> Isarra: NOINDEXing new pages, BLP-PROD, wider people having access to AFT5
10:37 < Isarra> Particularly fun are the RfC/Us where the user never even shows up.

10:51 < Ironholds> (there are users sat on my talkpage giving me barnstars for coming up with the idea. I didn't, I just tidied around the edges. He gets adorably pissy about it)
10:52 < Ironholds> Dcoetzee: sure! So, the database structure meant that we weren't comfortable going above 10 percent until we'd sharded the damn thing. So we went to 10 percent and held.
10:52 < Dcoetzee> Holy shit NewPagesFeed is live on enwp? Nice

10:52 < Dcoetzee> Uh oh
10:52 < Demiurge1000> It's like the fall of Saigon. Sort of.
10:53 < Isarra> I'd say it fits in with the rest of wikipedia, but it's ugly in a different way.
10:53 < Ironholds> and, uh. yeah. cue juuust too many API queries.
10:53 < Ironholds> *asplode*
10:53 < Isarra> Why is wikipedia so fond of weird shades of beige?

10:53 < Ironholds> naw, all safe and secure
10:53 < Dcoetzee> Woo
10:53 < Ironholds> in the meantime we've switched servers and fixed the API issue
10:53 < Ironholds> now we play the waiting game until they shard.
10:53 < Ironholds> and then, boom! 100 percent.
10:53 < Dcoetzee> Woo :-)
10:54 < Ironholds> Also, re newpagesfeed, it's been live since...May?
10:54  * Dcoetzee is late to the party
10:54 < Ironholds> I basically went "we need to stop asking people to comment on screenshots, you can't work out methodology or bugs from that. just deploy the prototype and let them USE it"
10:54 < Ironholds> and we did! and on thursday we deployed the curation toolbar
10:55 < Dcoetzee> I agree with that. Screenshots also tend to lead to bikeshedding.
10:55 < Ironholds> indeed, because the only thing to comment on IS the colour or copy on the bikeshed
10:55 < Ironholds> and sure, we used to deploy a prototype
10:55 < Ironholds> ...on prototype. which isn't SULd. and is ugly and slow and external.

13:43 < foks> 'cos "burn" is a scottish word
13:43 < MartijnH> it is
13:44 < foks> Then it draws its water from freshwater burns

15:17 < TeeTylerToe> in '06 the whole thing was 320GB, the en was 163GB
15:18 < TeeTylerToe> you'd think a compressed db backend would be perfect for wikimedia
15:18 < graham1> just incase my friend runs into troubles, can you let me know a process i can use to store the compressed format on a microsd card?
15:19 < Dcoetzee> graham1: I'm not aware of any Android based Wikipedia dump reader that uses a compressed format. Kiwix has one in development. One may exist of which I am unaware.
15:19 < graham1> k thx
15:20 < Dcoetzee> TeeTylerToe: WMF themselves wouldn't be able to handle the CPU load of frequent compression/decompression, and it would introduce latency... although that may not be true if they used a particularly fast algorithm.
15:20 < Dcoetzee> I think it's probably okay to compress historical revisions.
15:20 < Dcoetzee> Since they're rarely viewed.
15:20 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee the db system is terrible as it is too many duplicates
15:21 < TeeTylerToe> it's a cost/benefit thing.  Do you have the spare cycles to run a compressed backend, or do you have the ram to hold a DB that was 320GB in '06 in ram
15:21 < ToAruShiroiNeko> ideally each section should have its own variable instead of dumping the entire page in one massive text file
15:21 < ToAruShiroiNeko> and only the change in the section would be modified
15:21 < TeeTylerToe> and if you have neither, which is cheaper?
15:21 < ToAruShiroiNeko> but tracking that isnt exactly trivial
15:21 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: Well there's no reason to be that primitive about it, you can use a delta compression algorithm.
15:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> sure
15:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> or you can 7z it if you like
15:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> its designed for streaming
15:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> after all
15:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> however its not worth the time since text size isnt increasing THAT fast for vast majority of the articles

15:23 < ToAruShiroiNeko> where there is frequent edits (discussion)
15:23 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: Basically the way to do it is to group revisions in groups of 10-30. Then you compress with a fast compressor like gzip.
15:23 < ToAruShiroiNeko> yes
15:23 < Dcoetzee> Because adjacent revisions are very similar, LZ based algorithms would do a great job with them.

15:24 < Dcoetzee> 10-30 revisions compressed is smaller than a single revision uncompressed.
15:24 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee its actually better than that
15:24 < ToAruShiroiNeko> if the revisions are minor changes in particular
15:24 < Dcoetzee> You can have the decompressor just throw away the parts you don't need.
15:24 < ToAruShiroiNeko> ideally you want to just store the difference
15:25 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: You're not understanding :-)
15:25 < ToAruShiroiNeko> without bothering to compress
15:25  * ToAruShiroiNeko understands
15:25 < Dcoetzee> LZ compression, primed properly with the previous revision, effectively *does* compress differences.
15:25 < Dcoetzee> And does a very good job of it.
15:26 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee what I mean is... minor revisons duplicate the entire page even if you change a letter. Any compression algorithim (even the most primative ones) will be very effective
15:26 < Dcoetzee> That is true... LZ compression is indeed very primitive.
15:26 < Dcoetzee> But also very fast, low resource usage. That's why I suggested it.
15:26 < ToAruShiroiNeko> I wasnt spesifically refering to any algorithm
15:26 < Dcoetzee> It just have to have a large enough distance to see all of the previous revision.
15:26 < ToAruShiroiNeko> even the puseido algorithm the prof writes on the board in compression 101 is better than what we have now
15:27 < Dcoetzee> So that's like... 16 bit offset.
15:27 < Soapy> puseido sounds japanese
15:27 < Dcoetzee> For most articles, 24 bits for some.
15:27 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee most articles dont have more than 20 revisions :p
15:27 < ToAruShiroiNeko> 98
15:27 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: I meant article size
15:28 < ToAruShiroiNeko> 98% of all online statistics are true as you well know :p
15:28 < Dcoetzee> Most articles I think are <65KB but some are bigger.
15:28 < ToAruShiroiNeko> most articles are stubs  or redirects or less
15:29 < Dcoetzee> However you can't compress all revisions in a big blob.
15:29 < Betacommand> ToAruShiroiNeko: I think the text stores are compressed
15:29 < Dcoetzee> Or you lose the ability to access them at random.
15:29 < Dcoetzee> So that's why I suggested groups of 10-30.
15:29 < Dcoetzee> Or maybe some kind of random access compression algorithm although those are a bit exotic...

15:35 < Dcoetzee> Compressing individual revisions independently really limits the amount of compression you can get.

16:01 < Soapy> the IMEI identifies the phone, yes
16:01 < Dcoetzee> In most countries universal use of SIMs is enforced by law.
16:01 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Kenneaal sim card merely stores an ID info for the base station
16:02 < ToAruShiroiNeko> that info can be stored by other means
16:02 < BarkingFish> the IMEI should identify the phone, the SIM identifies the subscriber / phone number
16:02 < Soapy> and even the carriers that do use SIM cards will track your IMEI too so that you cant slip a flip phone's SIM card into a smartphone just to get cheaper monthly bills
16:02 < Kenneaal> SIM cards store quite a bit more, though.
16:02 < Steven_Zhang> lol
16:02 < Kenneaal> Thus "Subscriber Identification Module".
16:02 < ToAruShiroiNeko> right but their main purpose is offer the base station a unique id

16:16 < BarkingFish> The guy's created it, but since the whole closing ceremony is completely secret, he's got fuck all to put in it

16:19 < BarkingFish> Soapy - it's gonna be a list.
16:20 < BarkingFish> Best thing to do is move it to List of Flagbearers at the 2012 Summer Olympics - that way, both ceremonies can be combined into one list
16:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Kenneaal sure and in the US it is a tool for 911 mostly aside from onwers own use
16:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> "where are you maam", "I dont know" and thats how it works
16:23 < Frood> a phone's GPS is generally accurate to ~2m

16:34 < Dcoetzee> Okay. Please stop tagging it G4 though :-P
16:34 < Dcoetzee> It isn't a G4.
16:34 < Dcoetzee> The AfD was closed as speedy delete.
16:34 < BarkingFish> theb talk page doesn't say that
16:35 < BarkingFish> it says the result was delete, not speedy delete. if it'd mentioned that, i wouldn't hav eg4'd it
16:35 < Frood> BarkingFish: it was speedy delete actually
16:35 < Frood> because it didn't go the whole seven days, etc.
16:36 < Dcoetzee> BarkingFish: It says "This page was nominated for deletion on August 11 2012. The result of the discussion was speedy delete." Unless that wasn't there before?
16:36 < Dcoetzee> I'm gonna delete the talk page and move the discussion to the guy's user talk.

16:40 < Frood> because earthquakes are plates and weather isn't etc.
16:41 < BarkingFish> Dcoetzee, last I looked, it said the result was delete, I'm sure of that. If not, I probably misread it
16:41 < Frood> anyway food
16:41 < Frood> BarkingFish: it was speedy deleted.
16:41 < Dcoetzee> BarkingFish: It's okay :-)
16:41 < Dcoetzee> BarkingFish: As long as you know the rules I'm not concerned.
16:42 < BarkingFish> Dcoetzee, All i know is G4 in Twinkle, says it's for stuff previously deleted via a deletion discussion
16:42 < Guerillero> speedy delete per AfD is still a discussion
16:42 < BarkingFish> which is why I stuck G4 on it, the talk page said it'd been nominated for deletion, which would put it through AFD, which is a discussion
16:42 < Dcoetzee> Guerillero: It's kind of a judgement call.
16:42 < Dcoetzee> A snow close following many delete votes would show a clear consensus.
16:42 < Guerillero> WP:BURO
16:43 < Dcoetzee> Here there was only one delete vote, followed by a rapid deletion.
16:43 < Guerillero> we are not a moot court
16:43 < Dcoetzee> The point is that consensus was not reached.
16:43 < Guerillero> oh
16:43 < BarkingFish> not for me it's not, Dcoetzee - it was via a discussion
16:43 < Dcoetzee> There has never been a consensus discussion about this article.
16:43 < Dcoetzee> That came to a consensus.
16:43 < Guerillero> i just saw that there was an afd
16:43 < Dcoetzee> However in this case I think the conclusion of such a discussion would be inevitable.
16:43 < Dcoetzee> Which is why I deleted it anyway, out of process.
16:44 < BarkingFish> maybe not one that came to a consensus, sure, but it was put out as a discussion. The fact that one did not take place, doesn't discount the fact it was intended to be a discussion :)
16:44 < Dcoetzee> I think the spirit of G4 is "if we've already come to a consensus regarding it, and it reappears, we can redelete it."
16:44 < Dcoetzee> Even if that's not exactly what it says :-P
16:45 < BarkingFish> then it's open to interpretation, and i interpreted it
16:45 < Dcoetzee> Okay, you're not really clearly out of process then, we just disagree on interpretation :-P

16:51 < BarkingFish> Yeah. If it's a legitimate article, mistakenly speedied through AFD, then yes, it's not eligible for G4.
16:51 < BarkingFish> To be honest, the result of an AFD should never be "speedy delete", unless it's being shut early as a SNOW

17:25 < Soapy> Silsbee High School and the school district have been criticized for expelling a cheerleader from the school's cheerleading squad because of her refusal to cheer for a basketball player who pled guilty to sexually assaulting her. The charges were dropped down to assault a year later and he was given probation.
17:25  * Qcoder02 notes he meant to tpye Sicillian
17:26 < Soapy> The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in November 2010 that the victim — who is known only as H.S. — had no right to refuse to applaud her attacker because as a cheerleader in uniform, she was an agent of the school. The Fifth Circuit dismissed her case as "frivolous" and sanctioned the girl, ordering her family to pay the school district's $45,000 legal fees.

17:37 < Qcoder02> ?
17:37 < Soapy> is there really even "gigabit internet" available to single households that isnt ridiculously expsnive?
17:37 < TeeTylerToe> so sure you could have a 1Gb google fiber, but you can't actually even get the 500kb youtube vid
17:37 < Soapy> or is this just for large businesses
17:37 < Dcoetzee> According to this, a 1 in 1 million chance of dying is worth about $50 to the average person.

18:32 < wctaiwan> although I suspect it's a troll.
18:33 < Dcoetzee> "I thought they cant freaking hit you if they are in uniform?" Nobody could be that dumb... can they?
18:33 < Peter-C> I thought the part about getting medals for killing babies was when I gave up
18:33 < Qcoder02> Night all..
18:33 < wctaiwan> well, you _could_ argue it's still assault and not self-defence, unless the guy was threatening violence. But… wha?

18:34 < Soapy> I dont think that’s even real
18:34 -!- Jasper_Deng is now known as Jasper_Deng_away
18:34 < Dcoetzee> It's obviously fake... written by a pro-military person.
18:34 < Soapy> does anyone really use “baby killer” and expect to be taken seriously?
18:35 < Dcoetzee> The extent of the injuries is just screaming "aren't soldiers so powerful and strong, to take out a guy like this?"
18:35 < Soapy> Ive only ever seen it as a sarcastic term in political cartoons etc
18:35 < Dcoetzee> If that actually happened the assaulter would not get off lightly, regardless of the deeply offensive speech :-P
18:36 < wctaiwan> ye-ah.
18:36  * wctaiwan hits Dcoetzee, knocking him cold, displacing 2 teeth and causing extensive injuries :)
18:37 < BarkingFish> on the other hand, the fact that the guy went to touch him first, and also spit on him, amounts to assault - anything the guy did after that would be self defence.
18:37 < Dcoetzee> :-)
18:37 < BarkingFish> He didn't know what the dude was gonna do :)
18:37 < Soapy> oh i was asumming it was a woman
18:37 < Soapy> it sounded like something a woman would write
18:37 < BarkingFish> With a name like Earl?
18:37 < wctaiwan> BarkingFish: really? You can do whatever to want if someone is pestering you?
18:37 < BarkingFish> wctaiwan, no
18:37 < Dcoetzee> BarkingFish: I'm skeptical a jury would buy that... touching someone's medals is not the same as threatening them.
18:37 < BarkingFish> I didn't say that
18:37 < Dcoetzee> Or spitting on them for that matter.
18:37 < Soapy> I didnt notice that there was a name
18:38 < Soapy> ok
18:38 < Pharos> spitting is slightly assaultish
18:38 < Dcoetzee> You could though argue he was being "approached in an aggressive manner"
18:38 < wctaiwan> what's it called in English, something about how the defence can't be inproportionate..
18:38 < Dcoetzee> And yeah hitting him "after he was out cold"
18:38 < BarkingFish> Dcoetzee, bear the offensive comments in mind too - for all that marine knew, he could have been trying to provoke the guy or possibly the next step would have been to attack him
18:38 < Dcoetzee> That would be illegal too.
18:38 < wctaiwan> as in, if I kick you in the shin, you can't whip out a gun and shoot me.
18:38 < Soapy> the “stand your ground” law
18:38 < Pharos> spitting is the liquid equivalent of "fighting words"
18:39 < wctaiwan> liquid equivalent, heh.
18:39 < Soapy> spitting is for wimps
18:39 < Ironholds> wctaiwan: no, but I could kick you in the face.
18:39 < wctaiwan> hi Ironholds
18:39 < BarkingFish> wctaiwan, I think what you're referring to is "reasonable force"
18:39 < Ironholds> hey wctaiwan
18:39 < Dcoetzee> "reasonable force" yes.
18:39 < wctaiwan> yeah, probably.
18:39 < Ironholds> reasonable force has two elements, in English law
18:39 < Dcoetzee> "stand your ground" means you have no obligation to retreat, when possible.
18:39 < Ironholds> it is to do with proportionate force not proportionate damage
18:39 < Ironholds> I can kick you in the face. If I, through misjudgment, break your jaw and knock out all your teeth, bully
18:39 < Ironholds> if I shoot you in the face, no such defence.
18:40 < russavia> is anyone on fast fast fast connection like to download something and upload to commons?
18:40 < BarkingFish> my understanding of it is this - if someone attacks you by kicking you in the leg, you can't pick up a brick and smack them round the head with it
18:40 < BarkingFish> that is disproportionate
18:40 < Dcoetzee> russavia: I can do it from my EC2 server
18:40 < Dcoetzee> russavia: What kinda thing?
18:40 < russavia> http://www.farposst.ru/2012/07/05/Historia_de_la_aviacion_en_Chile_1920_1925.html

18:40 < BarkingFish> you can, however, punch them in the face, or knee them in the bollocks
18:40 < Dcoetzee> BarkingFish: Additionally, you can't attack or continue to attack after the threat has passed.
18:40 < Dcoetzee> Or that might be a separate thing...
18:41 < BarkingFish> it was a bodily attack without a weapon, you can't use a weapon to defend yourself iirc
18:41 < Soapy> you can use a weapon if you can reasonably argue you need it
18:41 < Pharos> what if the other person is much bigger than you?
18:41 < Soapy> e.g. if youre disabled or just really small
18:41 < Soapy> yeah
18:41 < Dcoetzee> Yeah like a little old lady shouldn't be expected to fight off a weightlifter with her bare hands.

18:42 < Dcoetzee> I wonder if mace counts as a weapon in this context...
18:42 < BarkingFish> it's reasonable force. proportionate to the amount of force needed to defend against the attack.
18:42 < Dcoetzee> russavia: Okay can you create the page for it first?
18:43 < Dcoetzee> russavia: Or will you do that after?
18:43 < russavia> what page needs to be created?
18:43 < Dcoetzee> file description page...
18:43 < russavia> oh, yeah i can do if after if like
18:43 < BarkingFish> Dcoetzee, ttbomk, mace does not count as a weapon, it's an aid to self defence, but as an incapacitant, I don't think it counts
18:43 < russavia> use the rapidgator link to download
18:43 < russavia> it's reasonably quick

20:46 < russavia> the industrial revolution was a major undertaking in human history
20:46 < Andorin> Hi.
20:47 < Andorin> Isarra dragged me in here.
20:47 < Andorin> What do you fine folks normally discuss?
20:47 < Ironholds> trees
20:47 < Ironholds> and buckets.
20:48 < Andorin> Buckets are fun.
20:48 < Ironholds> sometimes? trees *in* buckets.
20:48 < Ironholds> others, a bucket in a tree. We're a zany bunch, oh yes.
20:48 < Andorin> I don't know if I've had enough to drink tonight for that level of excitement.
20:48 < TeeTylerToe> the prettiest weightlifting tree of the year
20:48 < Ironholds> I won that competition in 2008, 2009 and 2010
20:49  * Isarra throws a wikipedia at Frostee.
20:49 < Isarra> A small one, though.
20:49 < Ironholds> 2011 they worked out I was actually a person who had glued bark all over themselves and disqualified me
20:49 < Isarra> After that did you learn to use staples instead?
20:49 < Ironholds> no, I had a tree tattooed all over myself
20:49 < Andorin> Ouch.
20:49 < Ironholds> lets see them peel THAT off
20:50 < Andorin> Well... they could...
20:50 < Frostee> HELLO ANDORIN
20:50 < Ironholds> they don't dare
20:50 < Andorin> But I imagine you would object.
20:50 < Ironholds> also, tattoos do not hurt.
20:50 < Andorin> Frostee, you're familiar.
20:50 < Andorin> Why are you familiar?
20:50 < Isarra> He's an uncyclopedian.
20:50 < Andorin> Oh, that would do it.
20:51 < Isarra> And I didn't ban him, so that's not why he's here, in case you were wondering.
20:51 < Ironholds> Isarra: are you here because you banned yourself?

20:51 < Frostee> Andorin forgot me ;_;
20:51 < Andorin> Tsk.
20:52 < Ironholds> Frostee: you're pretty forgettable
20:52 < Andorin> I was gonna say, I know you'd done that before.
20:52 < Ironholds> I'm always like "that guy!" "who?" "you know, whatsisname!"
20:52 < Frostee> I am unique
20:52 < Ironholds> when I'm discussing your downfall with the cabal
20:52 < Andorin> I remember him as "the one with the pituitary gland".

20:53 < GabrielF> Is this appropriate for G11? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAGbook
20:53 < Andorin> Oh! That's right, this place is not a part of Wikia.

20:54 < Ironholds> Isarra: you're a wikipedian, you're neat.
20:54  * Andorin knows nothing about WP's tangle of policies, and therefore stays silent.
20:54 < Ironholds> IShadowed and DeltaQuad are wikipedians and also neat

20:54 < Andorin> I'm more of a Wikian, and I'm terrible.

20:55 < IShadowed> thank you

20:55  * IShadowed returns to game
20:55 < Ironholds> gratzi, big bird
20:55 < GabrielF> Isarra: if you look at the actual quality of the references, they are terrible, for instance the annual revenue figure is referenced to a free website valuation tool
20:55 < Isarra> I know nothing of judging references.
20:56 < Ironholds> I do! I have a little gavel and everything
20:56 < Ironholds> if a reference sucks, I take the gavel, and I beat the author over the head with it

20:57 < GabrielF> its basically self promotion

20:57 < Ironholds> ew!
20:57 < GabrielF> (am I that guy?)
20:57 < ChrisGualtieri> I'm fixing Wikipedia as fast as I can
20:57 < Isarra> Wikipedians can be neat! A lot of them just aren't.
20:57 < ChrisGualtieri> I'm a little OCD I guess

20:58 < Shearonink> There is an article that I posted about on a couple of talkpages (the appropo WikiProject, the article's talkpage and maybe one other) splitting off a substantial section, no objections were raised, some people said it sounded like a good idea but I realized something...  Can I just move the section to a new article?  How does the (edit history) get retained at the new location?
20:58 < Isarra> Well, he's haggis, so that should be apparent. But still.

21:02 < Ironholds> what Isarra said
21:02 < Isarra> Folks can still trace it back. to where it came from that way.
21:02 < GabrielF> Isarra: I'm looking at these references: "LAGbook has been featured on renowned publications such as Yahoo! News[6], African Business Review[7], allAfrica[11], Los Angeles Times and The New York Times." the Yahoo News link is a press release
21:02 < Andorin> So, insufficient as a reference?

22:11 < harej> Shirik: to be fair, calling the state Washington was a fucking dumb idea
22:12 < Andorin> People have to specify "Washington state", which is annoying.

22:12 < harej> Washington is Washington.
22:12 < Frood> there's also washington county

23:42 < Sp33dyphil> Logan_ : about 4 more days before I can take [[Nexus 7]] to GAN

23:45 < Sp33dyphil> Logan_ can't you remember which apps came pre-installed?

23:46 < Logan_> It was pretty much just a bunch of Google apps.
23:46 < Logan_> Chrome, Wallet, Currents, Google+, Gmail, etc.
23:46 < Logan_> Earth
23:46 < Logan_> maybe Maps
23:47 < Sp33dyphil> YouTube, Calender as well?
23:47 < Logan_> Yes, definitely
23:47 < wctaiwan> wouldn't it be similar to what's on the GN?
23:47 < Logan_> Yes.
23:47 < wctaiwan> give or take a few like google play books.
23:47 < Logan_> Oh, yes; the Play apps were preinstalled (Store, Books, Music, Magazines)
23:48 < wctaiwan> yeah, on the GN that'd be just store and music
23:48 < Logan_> I don't have the tablet where I am right now.
23:48  * wctaiwan has a GN
23:48 < Logan_> I only have my GN.
23:48 < Logan_> sadface
23:48 < Sp33dyphil> Logan_: have you changed the launcher/background?
23:48 < wctaiwan> dammit
23:48  * wctaiwan goes and sells his phone
23:48 -!- Fluff|away is now known as Fluff|sleep
23:48 < wctaiwan> Logan_ uses it. It's obviously not cool.
23:48 < Logan_> >:-(
23:49 < Logan_> Sp33dyphil: No, I have not.
23:49 < wctaiwan> brb
23:49 < Logan_> I tend to leave the default wallpaper on all of my stuff. :P
23:49 < Sp33dyphil> Logan_: does your homescreen have any apps that weren't pre-installed?
23:49 < Logan_> Yes.
23:50 < Sp33dyphil> Logan_: the thing is, if you move your non-preinstalled apps onto another page, you can take a photo of the nexus on
23:50 < Logan_> This is true.
23:50 < closedmouth> what's a GN?

23:51 < closedmouth> oh
23:51 < Logan_> I personally call it a GNex. :P
23:52 < Sp33dyphil> Logan_: which means you can take a hybrid photo of http://www.google.com/nexus/#/7 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPad_3.png

23:53 < Logan_> With my mother's iPad?
23:53 < wctaiwan> ack. They stopped selling coffee from the vending machine downstairs.
23:54 < Sp33dyphil> no, can you take a photo of your Nexus with the screen turned on and with that shadow effect on the iPad 3
23:54 < wctaiwan> This is going to be annoying once the semester starts, seeing as buying from the vending machine is both much quicker and cheaper than going to a convenience store.
23:54 < Peter-C> Hey Sp33dyphil :3
23:54 < Sp33dyphil> hey Pete
23:54  * wctaiwan demands his daily dose of caffeine :(
23:55 < SigmaWP> wctaiwan: It is a capitalistic strategy to make the unsuspecting consumers addicted to their products
23:56  * wctaiwan smashes SigmaWP with a mace in his caffeine-deprived rage
23:56  * SigmaWP doesn´t blink as the mace bounces off, because wctaiwan is too tired to swing strongly
23:56  * wctaiwan collapses on the floor
