[18:02] *** Redbeard (someone@ip-64-38-156-183.dialup.seanet.com) has joined #VGStaff [18:03] Hmmm... Can I say that I don't like IRC now that I'm here? [18:06] *** Kalrac (someone@ip-64-38-156-183.dialup.seanet.com) has joined #VGStaff [18:06] Right. We're supposed to get to know each other a little better in here, so, here goes. [18:06] RB, do you like panda bears? [18:07] I sure do. I like eating bamboo, too. [18:07] How amazing the things we have in common. [18:08] What about music? Do you like listening to Bedouin wails, too? [18:08] Don't you believe it! In fact, I feel like calling in the camels right now! [18:08] They're not for calling in camels, you know. [18:09] Of course, I didn't say that they were. It's just that my camels are getting dangerously close to the electric fence. It was a side comment. I really oughta call in my camels. [18:09] Oh, you should do that then. [18:10] Nothing smells worse than electrocuted camel. [18:10] You know that from experience? [18:10] Sure do. [18:10] I don't think I want to know.... [18:10] I wouldn't want to tell you. [18:10] I think I'm better off for it. There are some things that just shouldn't be told. [18:11] Right, like the story about the time I got caught in the subway doors? [18:11] Exactly. [18:11] Dragged me thirty feet. I still can't- [18:11] I said "Exactly", as in, don't tell that story. [18:11] Oh, right. Sorry. [18:12] You should be. [18:12] I am. [18:12] For someone who's only one-sixteenth Canadian, you sure apologize like you're two-sixteenths. [18:13] You mean one-eighth? [18:13] Bastard. [18:13] Sorry. [18:13] There you go again! [18:13] I can't help it. It just comes out. [18:14] Make it not come out. Ever thought about using some plumber's putty to close your mouth? Things like that can't get out then. [18:14] That's right, but we're typing. It wouldn't make any difference. [18:14] I guess that's true. [18:14] Tie your hands behind your back, then? [18:15] That would be rather difficult to do. I'm not that flexible, you know. [18:15] No, I meant get someone else to do it. [18:15] If I had someone that would be willing to tie my hands behind my back... I wouldn't be sitting in a chat room right now. [18:15] I guess that is true. [18:15] Ain't it, though? [18:15] Sure is. [18:16] You don't need to agree with yourself like that. I know that you think it is. [18:16] Sorry. [18:16] See, it's contagious! [18:16] Yack, it sure it. [18:16] Ain't it, though? [18:17] I'm not going to fall into that trap. [18:17] That won't be the only thing you shouldn't fall in to. [18:17] Oh, here you go, bringing up THAT again. [18:17] You brought it up, I'm just exploiting your pain. [18:18] Bastard. [18:18] Ain't I, though? [18:18] Look, just because I had a moment of weakness and let myself have some emotion once in a while, that's no reason for ridicule. [18:19] Yes it is. Especially in that case. [18:19] You've never- [18:19] -been so stupid as to do that? No, I haven't. Calculus and whipped cream are not a good idea. I could have told you that. [18:19] But I thought- [18:20] That's the problem. You didn't think. You did. Think before you do. [18:20] Think before I do? Do what? [18:20] Anything. [18:20] I see. I suppose that's what you do? [18:20] You got that right. [18:21] Then explain that one time- [18:21] I have no need to explain anything to you. [18:21] Oh, now you're playing defence. Don't like it, eh? [18:21] I'm just saying I have no need to explain anything to you, that's all. [18:22] I see. [18:22] Good. Now, can we get back to talking about panda bears? [18:22] Who was talking about panda bears? [18:22] We were. [18:22] When? [18:22] Back at the start. [18:22] We were not. [18:23] We very much were! Scroll up! [18:23] "We very much were!"? Where did you learn to talk? [18:23] Hey, that's legal. I don't complain about the way you talk. [18:23] Well, maybe you should. [18:24] Why would I want to do that? [18:24] Because you can. [18:24] I can also jump off the fourth floor atrium balcony in the ES building. I haven't done that. [18:25] Not yet. Give it another few days... [18:25] Why would I want to do that? [18:25] Because you can. [18:25] What in the hell are you talking about? [18:25] You know, I get that question a lot. [18:26] Then how come you don't have an answer? [18:26] Three. [18:26] Three? [18:26] Three. [18:26] What is "Three"? [18:26] The answer. [18:26] The answer? [18:26] To what the hell I'm talking about. [18:26] "What the hell are you talking about?" "Three." [18:27] But that doesn't make any sense. [18:27] Ah, you never said it did. You just wanted an answer. "Three" is an answer. [18:27] Not a good one. [18:27] You wanted an answer. You didn't say you wanted a good answer. [18:28] You should know the value of giving a good answer. [18:28] As should you. [18:28] I get paid for my answers. [18:29] No, you get paid to sit around wearing a nametag and pretending that you know something about trigonometry. Nothing in your paycheck or job description says you have to give good answers. [18:29] But my nametag does. At least, one of them did. [18:29] Yes, and weren't good answers something like $20 a piece? [18:30] Well... Yes, but if somebody gave me $20, I'd give them a good answer. [18:30] If somebody gave you $20, you'd take the money, then respons with some double talking nonsense. [18:31] Which would make them ask another question, and pay another twenty bucks. [18:31] That's deceptive. [18:32] Oh, like pretending that you actually know what you're talking about, pretending that you're a math whiz and all that, that isn't? [18:32] I've seen some of your math test scores... [18:33] I don't tutor Limits and Infinite Series, do I? [18:33] Damn good thing, too. [18:34] Can we get back to the panda bears, now? [18:34] No. [18:34] Or at least talk about something different for a while? [18:34] Like what? [18:35] Like the fact that we're sitting in an empty chatroom, talking to ourselves? [18:35] It's not empty. 39ster's here. He's bound to get a kick out of this when he reads the transcript. [18:35] Very true. [18:36] Besides, it's not like I wanted to be here. [18:36] Not like you... You dragged me in here! [18:36] Sucker. [18:37] Alright, that's it. Do you want me to tell everyone about your thing with the colour Red? [18:37] No, no, that's quite all right. [18:37] You see, everybody, about six years ago, there was this redhead- [18:37] I said enough! [18:38] Ooh, testy there, aren't we? [18:38] If you bring that up again, I swear, I'll peel your toenails off. [18:39] I thought you weren't supposed to have an angry personality... At least, that's what you just said. [18:39] You're right. I just got carried away... I'm sorry. [18:39] Three sixteenths. [18:39] What? [18:39] You apologize more than I do. [18:44] So, panda bears, you say? [18:44] That's right. Panda bears. [18:45] Those black and white bears. [18:45] Wonderful creatures, don't you agree? [18:46] They got nothing on lemurs. [18:46] Lemurs? They got everything on lemurs. [18:47] They do not. [18:48] A lemur would get a straight up case of beatdown if it tried to fight a panda bear. [18:48] That's where you're wrong. The lemur would be able to jump on the Panda's head. And we all know that jumping on something's head is instantly fatal. [18:49] Oh, yeah, I guess you're right. Especially if it did a spin jump. [18:49] Or a tail whack. [18:49] So pandas don't got nothing on lemurs. [18:51] But what if the panda had a mohawk-er, sorry- "Mohican style" hairdo. You know, all spiky. [18:51] Well, that's where the tail whack comes in. [18:51] No, I meant all over. [18:51] Spiky hair all over? [18:51] Yeah. [18:52] Oh, in that case... That wouldn't be a panda bear anymore. It'd be sort sort of strange panda-porcupine chimera. [18:52] Then none of the rules apply. [18:52] So, you admit a panda-porcupine chimera would be able to defeat a lemur? [18:53] No, I just said a lemur would not be able to defeat a PPC. [18:53] Not in any ordinary way, at least. [18:53] Oh, I understand now. [18:54] You should. I think it's quite clear. [18:54] Yeah, but my vision is bad. Things that should be clear rarely are. [18:55] So that explains it. [18:55] Explains what? [18:55] Oh, I think you know. [18:55] And I think I don't. [18:56] You do if you'd think about the same thing I'm thinking about. [18:56] Let me guess... Three? [18:56] No, no, not quite. [18:57] Four, then? [18:57] No, this time I'm talking about something else. SomeONE else. [18:57] I don't know anyone named Three. [18:58] What in the hell are YOU talking about? I'm talking about the one. You know, the one you're always looking at? [18:58] One? Where does One come into it? [18:58] Okay, I sense that you've lost me here. Let's try this again. [18:59] So that explains it. [18:59] That explains what? [18:59] Oh, I think you know. [18:59] If I did, I wouldn't have to ask what it explains. [19:00] That's not what you're supposed to say here. [19:00] Say where? [19:00] Here. Your line was supposed to be "I think I don't." Then I'd go and lead you off, and get you to admit- [19:01] I have lines now? [19:01] Well, yes. I said we were starting over. [19:01] Starting over? I see now. [19:01] So that explains it. [19:02] I sure do. I like eating bamboo, too. [19:02] ... [19:02] What? [19:02] You said we were staring over. [19:02] Not that far over. [19:03] Oh. I do wish you'd be more specific about these sorts of things. [19:03] I do wish you'd try to follow along more. [19:03] Sorry. [19:03] Four-sixteenths. [19:03] One quarter, you mean? [19:03] Anyway. Here we go again. [19:04] So that expla- [19:05] I was not! She has a lot of questions. I look at her often because she might have a question to ask. Believe me, if I were going to be leering at the students, there are many others worth leering at. [19:05] Um... Okay... You got a little ahead of things, there... [19:06] I thought that's what you wanted to get me to say, though. [19:06] Yes, but there was supposed to be a lead up, and... Never mind. [19:06] Oh well, whatever. [19:07] Has it struck you that we're just about one dead tree short of a play here? [19:08] Hey, I resent that accusation! I may not be the epitome of intellectual conversation, but that's no reason for you to say that. [19:10] No, I meant that we're one dead tree away from having ourselves a play. You know, Samuel Beckett. [19:10] Man, I haven't seen Quantum Leap in years! [19:11] "Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett step into the Quantum Leap accellerator and vanished. He awoke to find-" [19:11] No, not Quantum Leap. The other one. [19:11] Damn, just when things started getting interesting. [19:12] The playwright. [19:12] I thought you hated all that literature nonsence. [19:12] Sense. Whatever. [19:13] Getting your Cs mixed up, eh? Told you you shouldn't try to fake spelling like that. [19:13] But you're right. I do hate it. I don't know why I brought it up. [19:14] Yeah, I went through a whole week where I was spelling word like "Our" and "hour" as just "Or" and "Hor". That was bad. [19:16] And you've been known to switch the RE and ERs around. Not to mention the times. Remember that one time where you went with little endian time on your clock. [19:18] Isn't it already little endian? [19:18] Big endian. Whatever. I can never tell them apart. [19:18] Neither can I. [19:19] That's your problem. [19:19] That's not the only one. [19:19] Tell me about it. [19:19] I'd really rather not. [19:19] Come to think of it, neither would I. [19:21] Good for you. [19:21] Better for you. [19:21] That's for sure. [19:22] YOu know what? I think we've more than fulfilled our visiting quota for this channel. They wanted us to come, so here we are. [19:23] Yep. Now you can go back and tell them all that you hate IRC again. [19:23] Sure thing. [19:23] hey dualpersonality [19:23] Another visitor. [19:23] Oh, sure, no someone else comes. [19:24] Just like them, isn't it? [19:25] so, you enjoy talking to youself? [19:25] It's only talking to yourself if you're the only one listening. [19:25] And I was here the whole time, so... [19:25] You see, so it wasn't talking to ourselves. [19:25] Right. [19:25] lol, you make me Laugh [19:26] Which one? [19:26] Yeah, it certainly can't be him. He's not funny. [19:26] Like you are? [19:26] You think "I eat bamboo too" is funny? [19:26] Don't you? [19:27] Well... Okay. [19:27] In certain contexts, anyway. [19:29] Why do I get the feeling this transcript will surface again some day, like at a competency hearing? [19:29] What better place for it? [19:29] That's true, I guess. [19:29] I think both of you [19:30] both of you, who are one [19:31] See that? He refuses to take sides. [19:31] Which must mean he likes me better. [19:31] You can have him. [19:31] If you put it that way... No, he likes you better. [19:31] I like you both equally because you are one and the same ;P [19:32] That ain't the way it works with me. [19:32] I didn't say it was. [19:32] That's what you implied. [19:32] okay, argue over this [19:32] the true answer for the sqrt of -1 [19:33] No, no, we're fine now. He just gets that way sometimes. [19:33] Three. [19:33] i [19:33] yeah tebs I agree [19:33] You... That? [19:33] I mean, "You... What?" [19:33] No. "i". You know, "i". [19:33] er, that was wrong window [19:33] You what? [19:33] I nothing. "i". [19:34] What in the hell are you talking about now? [19:34] "i". [19:34] I'd demand that you makes sense, but I'm afraid it wouldn't help. [19:34] lol [19:35] all this text will make a great message body hiden deep down in an NT post [19:35] You'd probably give off some long winded explanation and I'd be even more lost than when I started. [19:35] I learn from the master. [19:35] Yes, yes it would. Are you kjeeping a transcript? [19:35] Yes, of the whole thing? [19:36] yup. it's being logged [19:36] Because from this end, all I'm getting is >, then . [19:36] Doesn't say who's talking half the time. [19:36] -> [Redbeard] VERSION [19:36] -> [Kalrac] VERSION [19:37] same computer? [19:37] No, I'm here. [19:37] And I'm here. [19:37] well your IP's certainly match [19:37] Nowhere near each other. [19:37] That's right. [19:38] And what does an IP have to do with it? [19:38] so unless it's magically routing to 2 poepel hundreds of miles apart with the same IP, I think you're sharing the same connect;P [19:38] Hundreds of miles? [19:38] Nah, not that far. [19:38] Only fifty. [19:38] Thirty, if you go straight. [19:38] But you can't. [19:39] Unless you fly. [19:39] it got as high as 81�F here today in the shade [19:39] And you can't. [19:39] I did in that dream the other day. [19:39] at least 111�F in direct sun, but we use �C here [19:40] Yes, but then you never convinced yourself that you had actually woken up after that one, and you kept trying to fly throughout the day. [19:40] It doesn't work like that. [19:40] And then, poor whats-her-name, when you explained that to her... When you weren't sure if you were awake... [19:40] I doubt she'll come back. [19:41] She will. She never did like me, but that never stopped her. [19:41] who is she? [19:41] I can use �C here, too. The wonders of CAnadian TV and radio. [19:41] She is she. [19:41] And he'll claim that he doesn't look at her. [19:41] Didn't we already go over this? [19:42] Sorry. [19:42] Five-sixteenths. [19:42] or 5H/10H [19:43] But only witches count in hex. [19:43] Are you a witch? [19:43] Or a warlock? [19:43] Have to be a warlock. [19:43] But do warlocks count in hex. [19:43] I don't know. Have to ask one. [19:43] oh 101B/10000B [19:44] But with binary numbers comes my diagonalization proof that the integers are uncountable. [19:44] You still believe that nonsense? [19:45] As a matter of fact, yes, I do. I still don't understand why it doesn't work. [19:45] Because it quite simply doesn't. [19:45] You weren't there. You didn't seen Osborne and his hand waving. After I left, I realized that he had answered a completely different question. [19:46] Yes, the string of all ones wasn't there, but that's not what I was trying to show. [19:46] You just won't rest until you destroy the foundations of mathematics, will you? [19:46] Damn straight. [19:48] I shall count the irrationals! [19:48] 0 [19:48] forget it [19:48] there are infinatly loads of them [19:48] Forgotten. [19:49] With my memory, that's not a hard thing to do. [19:50] Gigabytes? Terabytes? [19:50] Exabytes? [19:51] Attobyte [19:52] I thougth that was 10e-18 [19:52] Yes. And? [19:53] that's less than 1 [19:54] Very good, he should be a math tutor too. [19:54] We're hiring, you know. [19:55] I'm on the wrong side of the world though [19:55] IE, it' sonly 8pm here [19:55] http://--------/employment.htm [19:55] Ah, being on the other side of the world's never stopped anybody before. [19:56] Although, usually they come here... [19:57] atlantic poses a bit of a problem [19:58] Hardly. One of them is from Albania, and a number of the students here are from Asia. And the pacific is bigger. [19:58] but the pacific is on the other side [19:58] But it is bigger. [19:58] but is not a problem [19:59] * Thirty-ninester is goign to Watch Eurovision song contest on his PC now [20:01] It would be if your boat sank. [20:02] not if I came buy air [20:03] Then it would really be a problem if your boat sank.

[20:10] Maybe, but can a PPC jump? [20:10] hi PL [20:10] It can fall out of a tree. [20:10] maybe you'll get more sense out of these 2 [20:10] Hmmm. [20:11] or these 1 [20:11] Hi 39ster. The question is, which one is real, and which one is the bot? [20:11] or could both be 2 different IRC clients? [20:11] I suppose a PPC falling out of a tree would be painful. [20:11] Probably [20:11] Very painful. But that's only if the ACTL can feel pain. [20:12] I suppose there's only one way to find out.

[20:12] isn't Redbeard Kalrac [20:12] You get the PPC, I'll get the ACTL. [20:12] Mj: Of course [20:12] Right. [20:12] have you all seen the Rogue Squadron 2 gamecube screenshots [20:12] But, uh, how will we make them fight each other? [20:13] Yeah, I suppose they might not. They probably aren't natural enemies. [20:13] so what did I miss since I rebooted? [20:13] Whee. Kalrac and Redbeard use old versions of mirc... 4.1 [20:13] Current is 5.9 [20:13] :P [20:13] Well, we tell the one that the other one was calling it names. [20:13] Of course, these just seem to be chatterbots [20:13] That won't work, the ACTL will have a log and it will know that the PPC didn't. [20:14] Yeah, but as long as the PPC starts it, the ACTL will have to fight back. Defend itself, you know. [20:14] That wouldn't be fair. [20:14] Yes it would be. [20:14] No, I guess it wouldn't. [20:14] :) [20:15] *** Rob64 (Rob64@ip142166218226.nbtel.net) has joined #vgstaff [20:15] Did I just get called a chatter bot? [20:15] Say, does this mean I can argue with Lucia?

[20:17] He very well could be. [20:17] But we still have the problem of getting the ACTL to fight him. [20:17] if that's really you Kalrac, send an ICQ [20:17] Yes, yes we do. [20:18]
