They don't go "oh, fair enough, just an accident" May 07 10:53:49 <Pesky> It's the only way of killing yourself (without hurting others) that's still unlawful in the UK, I think May 07 10:53:52 <Steven_Zhang> Lol. May 07 10:54:08 <Ironholds> Pesky: actually, no May 07 10:54:12 <Steven_Zhang> Yeah, but if you kill yourself you're murdering yourself, not committing suicide?

May 07 10:54:59 <Steven_Zhang> "Osama shouldn't have checked in on facebook" May 07 10:55:02 <Ironholds> Pesky: probably not May 07 10:55:10 <Pesky> When did that get repealed?

May 07 16:46:06 <Ironholds> the drop-off started before the introduction of the new skin, so your statement is groundless, while we have no data to indicate that we've attracted more readers since switching, so his is.

May 07 20:01:36 <duggthe> In a name such as Scrooge Buck McDuck, assuming "Buck" is legally the "middle" name or whatever, what is considered the first name and last name? "Scrooge" is the first name and "McDuck" is the last name? On my ID card issued by the government and a big bank, it says "Scrooge Buck" as the first name (except my names of course) and "McDuck" as last name. Is this done internationally? May 07 20:01:37 <Logan_> Ironholds: ok, let me know when it May 07 20:01:40 <Logan_> '*it's up May 07 20:01:46 <Qcoder00> Wikipedia and scripting ecploits?

May 07 20:04:12 <Ironholds> duggthe: hangon, just parsing it May 07 20:04:23 <Ironholds> yeah, that's standard May 07 20:04:34 <Ironholds> because then you structure it "McDuck, Scrooge Buck" May 07 20:04:37 <duggthe> So the full legal "anything before the last name" is considered the first name? May 07 20:04:50 <Ironholds> duggthe: well, names are not really legally codified May 07 20:05:00 <duggthe> Kat von Dyke is "Kat von" and "Dyke"? May 07 20:05:00 <Ironholds> it's like cannibalism - the flavour varies from person to person May 07 20:05:15 <Ironholds> duggthe: that'd probably be von Dyke, Kat May 07 20:05:25 <Ironholds> because von is a joining word and not an independent name May 07 20:05:26 <duggthe> Well, when mining data, you want to keep this consistent so that you can't end up with dupes. May 07 20:05:28 <Ironholds> like I said, it's unclear May 07 20:05:32 <Ironholds> of course May 07 20:05:43 <Ironholds> and so you usually get consistency within a dataset, but not across all datasets May 07 20:06:07 <duggthe> Would you say it's safe to use the "first string" of the "first name" to be the first name and then the entire last name as the last name? May 07 20:06:48 <duggthe> So when banks do fraud checks or compare input to their records, they don't do if ($var1 == $var2) in their application code, but instead compare how many % similar the two strings are? May 07 20:07:11 <Qcoder00> duggthe: And you are asking here because? May 07 20:07:22 <duggthe> Because you're unhelpful, Qcoder00. May 07 20:07:38 <Qcoder00> duggthe: I am expecting you to apologise May 07 20:07:42 <tommorris> look, it's very simple, middle names form part of the given name, and von names are a special case. May 07 20:07:53 <Qcoder00> duggthe: Some context would be helpful May 07 20:07:54 <Logan_> duggthe: I still don't get why you're talking about a Disney character May 07 20:08:03 <Hedgehog456> Logan_: foobar May 07 20:08:30 <Hedgehog456> Logan_: Lorem ipsum May 07 20:08:32 <Logan_> but he said that his passport said "Scrooge McDuck" May 07 20:08:33 <duggthe> tommorris: How do you know what's a special case? You keep a list of possibly the hundreds of "von" cases? May 07 20:08:43 <duggthe> Logan_: Learn how to read. May 07 20:08:43 <tommorris> you want some logical implementation of this? BibTeX author name optimization pattern and vCard specification May 07 20:08:50 <tommorris> duggthe: basically, yes May 07 20:08:58 <tommorris> Names are a gigantic pain-in-the-ass May 07 20:09:18 <Qcoder00> tommorris: Not to mention Iclelandic and Japanese/Chinese style ones... ;) May 07 20:09:25 <duggthe> Social security numbers vary completely between countries..- May 07 20:09:34 <tommorris> and Spanish naming conventions May 07 20:09:52 <duggthe> Is there an international format for social security numbers? Maybe something like <COUNTRY_CODE>-<STRING-WITH-JUST-NUMBER> May 07 20:10:11 <Qcoder00> duggthe: In what context are you asking this? May 07 20:10:17 <tommorris> basically, the way you store names is you store a formatted name, then you store family name and given name separately May 07 20:10:20 <duggthe> Data mining and comparison context. May 07 20:10:21 <Qcoder00> There are programming channel on freenode May 07 20:10:31 <duggthe> Has nothing to do with programming.

May 07 20:30:14 <Logan_> O_O May 07 20:30:49 <tommorris> geniice: I was more thinking on OpenLibrary, it would be awesome for non-fiction books to say that chapter whatever of book B was a response to the thesis of book A, and thus build up a web of books in dialogue with one another May 07 20:30:56 * tommorris wants that kind of thing so badly May 07 20:31:15 <Dragonfly6-7> tommorris - what do you think of [[William P.

It would allow any registered user on any Wikimedia Foundation project to copy a work without attribution and place it on a Wikimedia Foundation site under the appropriate licence used on that site. May 07 20:40:07 <geniice> yes but it would be undesirable May 07 20:40:17 <tommorris> it'd be like the CC BY-SA licence, but without the BY or SA requirements of having to point back to the original source May 07 20:40:20 <geniice> hmm usefel as an essy May 07 20:40:22 <geniice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Geni/WW2_sourcing_issues May 07 20:40:59 <tommorris> basically, if I'm publishing something under BY-SA but don't care about Wikipedia linking back to me as a source, but want other people to do so May 07 20:41:00 <geniice> ? May 07 20:41:10 <geniice> tommorris it could be done but it makes tracing stuff a pain May 07 20:42:06 <tommorris> I mean, currently, when someone ports an article from another site like Citizendium back to WP (it does happen very rarely!) they have to put a little banner at the bottom saying that it contains material from CZ May 07 20:42:57 <geniice> there are other ways of doing it but yes May 07 20:43:01 <tommorris> but if I were running my own site where I publish my own notes and ideas on a wiki, and licensing those as CC BY-SA, I might also have a thing saying that registered Wikimedians can use them as if they were public domain May 07 20:43:38 <tommorris> I could just do a public domain grant... May 07 20:44:00 * Fumika (~Zamorak@wikia/ZamorakO-o) has joined #wikipedia-en May 07 20:44:20 <tommorris> but in essence, this would be simply a "under these limited circumstances, you can have a copy of this without the attribution licence if the only thing you do with it is to republish it on a site with a free licencing policy like [limited list of sites... those from WMF]" May 07 20:44:54 <tommorris> other people *could* use it under ordianry CC BY-SA terms but Wikimedians could use it without having to put in tedious attribution templates and other such crap May 07 20:45:08 <geniice> technicaly possible but messy May 07 20:45:19 <geniice> and frankly the world doesn't need any more licenses May 07 20:45:25 <tommorris> true dat May 07 20:45:26 * Headbomb (~chatzilla@142.167.53.23) has joined #wikipedia-en May 07 20:45:27 * Headbomb has quit (Changing host) May 07 20:45:27 * Headbomb (~chatzilla@Wikipedia/Headbomb) has joined #wikipedia-en May 07 20:45:39 * BarkingFish has quit (Quit: *.Fish *.Filleted) May 07 20:46:00 <tommorris> although I am a big fan of the AGPL and wish more people would use it. May 07 20:46:22 <tommorris> I don't like that web apps have become a way of escaping the spirit of the GPL. May 07 20:46:27 <Qcoder00> What's AGPL? May 07 20:46:36 <tommorris> Affero GPL May 07 20:46:59 <Qcoder00> Oh you mean the , if you use 'free' stuff to run a web service, you have to give away your business model to others May 07 20:47:00 <tommorris> it's like the GPL but it is for web apps. If you modify the web app and host your own version you have to release your modifications May 07 20:47:26 <Hedgehog456> tommorris: that sounds rubbish May 07 20:47:30 <tommorris> Fuck your business model. May 07 20:47:35 <tommorris> The world is not set up to make you money. May 07 20:47:50 <Qcoder00> tommorris: You in favour of AFGPL communism by the back door?

May 07 20:47:52 <tommorris> I'm fucking fed up with everyone going around looking at everything saying "how does this make you money"? May 07 20:48:01 <Hedgehog456> Would I have to publish it?

May 07 20:48:27 <Hedgehog456> tommorris: Same for mah puppeh. :) May 07 20:48:31 <tommorris> If that makes me an evil Commie, so fucking be it.

May 07 20:49:11 <Hedgehog456> tommorris: It's not until you start goose-stepping that you get called an evil Commie. May 07 20:49:55 <tommorris> If the whole world was only about making money, we'd decriminalise murder and have a flourishing hitman-for-hire industry.

May 07 20:50:28 <Qcoder00> Which is what you'd have to do if you modified the code to do secure transactions May 07 20:50:46 <tommorris> no, your encryption keys are not part of the source code.

It does all the things I want a phone to do. I do not have an Android, and therefore do not care (a) what it can do or (b) whether it's better than the iphone.

May 07 21:50:31 <Peter-C> Ironholds - Where do you want the pic? May 07 21:50:31 <Logan_> oh, and how's the call quality? May 07 21:50:39 <Ironholds> Peter-C: email em?

May 07 21:51:07 <Ironholds> as far as I'm concerned, the only distinction worth noting between the iPhone and Android is that the iPhone is powered by electricity, while the Android is powered by the self-indulgent smugness of its user. May 07 21:51:08 <Logan_> then I tried the Samsung Continuum, an Android phone May 07 21:51:10 <Logan_> no static at all May 07 21:51:14 <Ironholds> Peter-C: scire.facias@gmail.com May 07 21:51:17 <Ironholds> Logan_: fail.

May 07 21:51:33 <Logan_> I think that the iPhone 4 is decent (I take back the "crap" comment) May 07 21:51:36 <Logan_> but, it fails as a phone May 07 21:51:42 <Ironholds> because your last argument had a gaping hole in it May 07 21:52:01 <Logan_> so if you're getting an iPhone, you might as well get a phone that has good call quality May 07 21:52:03 <Ironholds> let me translate what you just said May 07 21:52:14 <tommorris> I do love that. "Unlike all those idiots who are buying the X because it's popular, I'll buy Y because it's not X." Congratu-fucking-lations. Why not buy things because they are good and serve your need rather than to make a counterpoint to some perception of mainstream vs. underdog or whatever.

May 07 21:53:14 <Logan_> I happen to like Android OS a lot more than iOS due to customizability May 07 21:53:20 * LauraHale wants an iPhone 4 May 07 21:53:22 <barts1a> There are better options than the iPhone now May 07 21:53:39 <tommorris> I tried the Xoom recently and it's pretty nice. May 07 21:53:46 <Ironholds> Logan_: what you just said May 07 21:53:47 <Ironholds> "iphones are worse than [phones with operating system] because I tried an iphone and a single of the many phone variants with [operating system] and the call quality on the non iPhone was better, which proves [operating system] rocks, even though I cannot prove (a) that the iOS is the source of the issue or (b) that the same comparison is valid for any other phone with [operating system]" May 07 21:53:47 <Logan_> I flashed a modded ROM onto my phone, and now it's so much faster :D May 07 21:53:48 <Peter-C> Ironholds - sent May 07 21:54:21 <Ironholds> it's like saying "Ironholds is better at arguing than Peter-C.

May 07 21:55:03 <Logan_> all had better call quality May 07 21:55:05 <Ironholds> but quite frankly if you want to take the attitude that having the best of the best is worth arguing over you're merely proving Schopenhaer right May 07 21:55:28 <Logan_> that doesn't necessarily connote that Android is better, but it does show that the iPhone 4 has call-quality issues May 07 21:55:37 <Ironholds> Peter-C: nice! May 07 21:55:45 <Peter-C> My pics? May 07 21:55:48 <Ironholds> if I get this SF job, I'm shipping all my books over and filling the place with bookcases May 07 21:55:49 <Ironholds> yeah May 07 21:55:52 * Theo10011 (~Theo10011@wikimedia/Theo10011) has joined #wikipedia-en May 07 21:55:55 <Peter-C> :) May 07 21:56:02 <Logan_> meh, enough on that topic :P May 07 21:56:06 <Peter-C> The pics are shit May 07 21:56:08 <Peter-C> The room is small May 07 21:56:11 <tommorris> I don't get the smartphone thing.
