<TheProf> Hi folks. Just watched Souyth Park. The return of Starvin Marvin
<DoctorWho> Who?
<Alden> hmm, must be a new season?
<TheProf> I love the line "We must stop this before some backwater
third world country gets their hands on this spaceship!" The
next scene shows the thing landing in Sydney.

* DoctorWho notes that Linux has silently reset the time
<DoctorWho> Windows not-so-silently reset the time (:
<Alden> "Hi. Bill has determined it's Daylight saving's time"
...
<`Ana> actually, MY windows box reset it silently. ;)
<DoctorWho> oh?
<`Ana> yeah.. It flipped without even letting me know.
<Alden> My Windows played the William Tell overture while hanging
upside down over a vate of warm treacle while it reset the
time
Sun Apr 2 [01:02]
<Alden> Oh my god.
<Alden> Guess who wrote this line "Bonnie is talented just the script
writers sucked!!"
<Alden> I'll give you a clue. His initials spell David Yadallee
<DoctorWho> Alden: Unh??
<Alden> Nate: I told him Bonnie wouldn't post to RADW because it's a hell hole
<TheProf> Alden I prefer the term peon pit.
<Thete> Alden: good call. if you ever even had slight regard for
bonnie keep her away from radw at all costs
Sun Apr 2 [01:43]
*** Alden has joined #DrWhoChat
<Alden> I have two theories at the moment. the first that is
Windows is reaching meltdown point.
<Alden> The other is that my primary HD is dying
<DoctorWho> :/
<Alden> I'm hoping it's the first, cause reinstalling windows is
easier than buying a new hard drive *then* installing windows
...
* Alden shows off his "I sold my soul to Bill Gates and all I got was
this lousy OS" T-Shirt
Sun Apr 2 [20:0]
<Bob01> well the US Goverment finally decleared Mircosoft a monpoly:)
<AudioBoy> Bury Billy Burn!
Sun Apr 2 [20:02]
<The_42nd_Doctor> my mother once took her car to a garage, and there
was this pin-up girl calendar on the wall... Mom
said to the mechanic, "You have a lovely daughter"
and the next time she was in that garage, the
calendar was gone ;)
Sun Apr 2 [23:31]
<TheProf> Somehow the vision of Gates being paddle on his behind in a
courtroom just makes me smile.
<TheProf> The big question now is penalty.
<Alden> Hang 'em all!
<TheProf> I think Microsoft will be forced to give up it's browser
division at the very least.
<TheProf> The damages and fines could be in the billions of dollars.
<Alden> Which will go to who?
<Alden> The government?
<TheProf> Headline "Federal Goverment pays off National Debt with
Microsoft fines"
...
<TheProf> I want to see Gates fine 10 billion dollars and with a smile
pull out a check book and say "Who do I make it out to?"
...
* TheProf wonders what Gate's has in his wallet.
<AudioBoy> Prof: you can bet it ain't a condom! ;)
<TheProf> ROTFL!
Mon Apr 3 [00:22]
* DoctorWho hates Windows
<DoctorWho> I can't even move the titlebar buttons around into a more
sensible arrangement
<TheProf> You use titles bar buttons?
<DoctorWho> Prof: You know, the _ [] X buttons in the upper-right
corner of every window?
<TheProf> Yeah
<TheProf> you want to move thoe?
<TheProf> those?
<DoctorWho> Yeah
<TheProf> why?
<DoctorWho> So I'm not constantly hitting the Maximize button instead
of the Close button :P
<DoctorWho> I'd like to leave the X where it is, move the _ all the
way to the left, and ditch the [] and the System Menu
altogether
<TheProf> so you have poor mouse controlm and this is Window's falt?
<DoctorWho> I can change those buttons in Linux :P
<TheProf> Nathan this isn't a matter of preference now. your crossing
into anal territory. :o)
...
<Alden> I've often wished I could change around the buttons and shite.
<Alden> The only way really is to get Windowblinds
<Alden> until Microsoft extract their heads from their other ends and
work out people want a truly customizable OS
<DoctorWho> Actually, most people don't :/
<DoctorWho> Just us propellorheads
<Alden> Most people do! That's why they "invented" themes...
<DoctorWho> Point.
<Alden> themes don't go far enough.
<TheProf> Themes? What are those?
* DoctorWho gapes
<DoctorWho> Who are you and what have you done with Prof??
Mon Apr 3 [02:01]
* DoctorWho set up a 'virtual domain' on his local network
<DoctorWho> Now I can connect to "www.tardislabs.com" on my local
network (even though I Don't own the domain)
<Jondar> Nathan: is that domain available?
<DoctorWho> yes
<TheProf> Buy the domain Nate before I do and then put up pro
microsoft propaganda just to annoy you.
<DoctorWho> And if you ever come back to Sacramento I'll go up there
and break both your legs
* TheProf leaves tardislabs alone as he does want to return home
someday.
<DoctorWho> Prof: I'm glad you take my meaning.
* TheProf takes Nathan's meaning and puts it in his pocket
Mon Apr 3 [02:22]
* Alden notes one of the members of Hanson has had a haircut
<Alden> One down, two to go
<Jondar> :)
<Alden> yeah, like I can talk
<Jondar> Alden: any ideas which one? so I can torment Rebecka with
that fact? :)
<TheProf> Jason: Tell her it's the ugly one and see which one she
thinks your talking about.
Mon Apr 3 [23:00]
*** The_Anti has changed the topic to: I'm gonna get published! (sort
of) (no really. I am. Just not Who. Nor is it a book. More like

looking after..? I smoked it")
Mon Apr 3 [23:27]

in Bonnie Langford.
<TheProf> Any interest he has is unhealthy for the interestee

Mon Apr 3 [23:52]
<DoctorWho> I wanted to go to the store tonight, but a bad leg cramp
this morning has rendered me crippled...
<Shel> nathan, you know what, if you had gone, you might have found "it"
<Shel> i'm telling you, one of those trips to the store "it"'ll be there
<DoctorWho> And if I stay home, I might have found "it" when she
accidentally drove her car through my bedroom wall.
<DoctorWho> Either way, I've got an equal chance of meeting her.
<Shel> next thing you'll tell me is you're on the second floor
Mon Apr 3 [23:56]

<Lyssie> well, the first line is written...
<Shel> oh, and if it isn't too much trouble, i'd also like a character
named after me :)
* Shel tries to think of other things to add to this list
<Alden> Shel: and she has a torrid affair with a character called
"Peter Davison"?
<Shel> oh no, not him
<Shel> not after the things i've heard about him
<DoctorWho> JCVD then? <ducks>
<Shel> oooh, now nathan's got an idea ;)
<DoctorWho> I'm dangerous when I get ideas

<Alryssa> Josie: 'I'm a cat, hi!"
<Alryssa> Max: "So?"
<Alryssa> Josie:"And so are you.Hi."
<Alden> LOL!
<Alryssa> Max: "Cat? me? That's just a vicious rumour!"

Fri Apr 7 [00:18]
<Jondar> and guess who might be asked to do barcodes for the DWCA mail? :-P
<Alden> how do you do barcodes then ?
<Jondar> Alden: I have no idea... apparently you need special software
<random_C> alden - same way you do anything else. Grind them up and
snort them up a rolled-up tenner
Fri Apr 7 [01:53]
<Jondar> Netscape is 5400Kb without Java...

<NathanR> Which reminds me. Here's a nice way to crash Windows.
http://www.min.net/~douglas
*** Alden has quit (Ping timeout)
*** Alden has joined #DrWhoChat
<NathanR> Ah, Alden. Tried the link I take it?
<Alden> It works in netscape too, apparently
...
<Alden> hmm, maybe the link ends up redirecting the console to the
console, whereapon Windows says "duh?" and dies
Fri Apr 7 [03:08]
<Alden> heh, the cops confiscated a personalised numberplate that had
an abustive term on it. the plate was "3M T43"
<Alden> It only works if you see it in your rear vision mirror. :)
<Alden> took the cops 18 months to work it out. ;)

<DoctorWho> It's /nice/ on a P133.
<TheProf> Nate's a few floors shy of a sky scraper.
<DoctorWho> Gnome is kinda nice, but the window managers drive me insane
<DoctorWho> Enlightenment in particular, but I also don't like how
WindowMaker interacts (or doesn't) with Gnome
<TheProf> Go windows manager!
<DoctorWho> Window Mangler? (MS Windows)
<Thete> S&M Windows more like
<TheProf> I say we start ghostlighting nathan.

* TheProof looks at the word rebuttal....
<Thete> LOL
<TheProf> I was already butted once.
<Thete> so did nate
<TheProof> real + butt = rebuttal
<TheProf> Sorry. Only one butt to a customer.

thinking it's coming from Prof
<Thete> Tonight: nathan's cognitive dissociation

<NathanWriting> Are you saying I'm so fat I might crush her to death?
(Even though it's true?) >;)
<Shel> no, she's filled with air, any weight on her at all would deflate her
<Alden> LOL!
<NathanWriting> I'll take that as a 'yes'. Even if it's a roundabout one
<Shel> why else do you think she can't walk herself? she'd float
Wed Apr 19 [16:56]
<Wh0miga> I think someone actually asked Elizabeth Sladen for a pair
of Underwear once (Or more times)
<Wh0miga> Have to ask Prof - he would know
<DoctorWho> She sold a pair of her panties at an auction once
<DoctorWho> According to Prof
<Wh0miga> Wonder how high Prof went before Profess killed him? :-)

<TheProf> Her hobbies include eating, sleeping and slapping the two

<Alden> Funny, that's my brother's hobbies too
Sun Apr 23 [23:58]
[Prof is showing off pictures from the zoo]

Sun Apr 23 [00:20]
<Alden> yeah, that's what was posted to RAWD
<Alden> RADW
<Thete> RAWD: real arseholes writing about the doctor?
Tue Apr 25 [21:21]
<TheProf> I often say "Next time I'm marrying a taller wife" where the
wife replies "Next time I marry a richer husband"
Wed Apr 26 [00:08]
<Alden> Don't you just hate it when the webcam catches you making a face. ;)
<Thete> that pic was Alden after having saves The Earth and received a medal
<Thete> followed by Alden after having been told that his brother was
going to gargle goldfish to win a bet
<Thete> now we have "Alden watching someone 3 miles away being bludgeoned"
<Thete> "Alden skillfully removing unwanted food into a napkin"
<Thete> "Alden wondering if he should kickban Thete"
Wed Apr 26 [01:05]
<DoctorWho> Prof: In answer to your question about the webpage... I'm
considering Simplenet
<TheProf> I still think finding a wife with a brother who owns an ISP
is cheaper.
...
<Jondar> Nathan: you could be nice to Jondar and put "varos.com" in
the referral field? :)
<DoctorWho> I'll keep that in mind
<Alden> Or you could put tetrap.com in. ;)
<TheProf> Put metebelis3 in and annoy the kiwi and Aussie.
...
* DoctorWho fwaps Prof. You're not even a simplenet member
<TheProf> I say Nate you take bids on the referal.
<DoctorWho> >:)
<TheProf> Put it up on Ebay. :o)
<Jondar> LOL Prof
* DoctorWho looks at Jason and Alden... How much you willing to pay
for it? >:)
<Alden> Nate: well, it's a month free, ISTR, so bribing you to refer
tetrap would be self-defeating. ;)
<Alden> since it would cost more to bribe you then to pay the bill myself. ;)
<DoctorWho> Alden: But it's an auction, so the bids would never get that high.
<Alden> Nate: $20? Plus I'd have to pay a bundle to make out the bank draft...
<Jondar> Alden: you can't get an international money order?
<Alden> I don't know how to get those
<Jondar> Alden: post offices should do them :)
<Jondar> and they're generally cheaper than bank drafts...
<Jondar> at least, they are here.
<DoctorWho> Note that Jason is helping Alden along here because he
wants in on this auction >;)
Wed Apr 26 [02:19]
<TheProf> Now this is interesting. I've gotten 5 hits on my DVD site
the last day from bbc.co.uk
<TheProf> Someone finally noticed me?
* TheProf quickly scans his butt and puts the picture up on his

Thu Apr 27 [02:12]
<TheProf> I have been reporting spammers to yahoo, hotmail and alike
but most use forged e-mails anyone although I've gotten a
few back from Yahoo wher they say they deactivated that
account.
<TheProf> So I got a few.
<Alden> Yeah, and the spammer just gets a new yahoo account. :/
<TheProf> Yeah but I make him work for it.
Thu Apr 27 [02:38]
<Alden> I've been IRCing too long - I walked into the living room and
said "Back"
<MegL> LOL!!!!!!!
<Alden> Surprisingly, no one responded "side"

<NathanCoveredInDust> You people are weird
<Alryssa> And this is news to you?
<Jondar> Nathan: and this is news? :)

<TheProf> I got a porno spam today that talked about they were a bunch
of freshmen girls from UCLA who were doing a porno site to
make money for college. Nice story but I found it hard to
believe it unless they moved the UCLA campus to Japan. The
e-mail came from @mail.co.jp.
<TheProf> Later I got the same porn e-mail again but this time from Argentina.
