 * Alryssa ducks the fwapping
<Theta-G> ducked right into the noogie ;-)
<Alryssa> bugger!

Fri Nov  3 [02:39]

<DoctorWho> This is your brain on Debian

<CrowTRobt> damn it... Microsoft money has struck again!
<Arcalian> crow in what way
<CrowTRobt> everytime I open it it empties my bank account
<thetaWerk> "Microsoft Money... It used to be yours."

Sun Nov  5 [21:22]
 * Alryssa giggles. Her name may end up passing into popular
   culture. A work colleague of Tom's has decided to name her
   red-haired, green-eyed doll 'Alryssa.' :-P
 * Alryssa is still waiting for Hurricane Alryssa. :-D
*** Alryssa is now known as HurricaneRyss
 * HurricaneRyss whirls through the channel
 * SupremeDalek orders all the weather satellites to watch HurricaneRyss
 * HurricaneRyss strikes a pose
 * talus cranks up neil young's "like a hurricane" for alryssa

<HurricaneRyss> I hate the taste of Mouse....

Sun Nov  5 [21:57]
<talus> ooh, the d&d movie trailer is up.  wonder if i could finish
	downloading the 640x480 version on my dialup before the movie
	opens.
...
<talus> drat, forgot i lost quicktime in the reinstall
<HurricaneRyss> so it'll be slowtime then?

Sun Nov  5 [22:05]
<DoctorWhoOnARampage> But /nothing/ is as bad as Debian
<DoctorWhoOnARampage> I mad a list of like 10 problems I had with it
<HurricaneRyss> So is there such a thing as a good distribution of Linux? 
 * HurricaneRyss can't remember the list of them now, but there's
   another one out there somewhere
<talus> nate: what was the last operating system you were satisfied with?
<HurricaneRyss> Nathan? Satisifed?
<talus> well, i only ask because some people have impossible standards
	in mates and wind up without one.  i'm just concerned nate has
	impossible standards in operating systems and might wind up
	computerless.
...
<HurricaneRyss> I sometimes think Nate's existence on this planet is
		simply to go around breaking everything he can find.
[I could have told you that]

Sun Nov  5 [22:16]
<talus> that reminds me, i promised to burn my brother something on
	cd-r.  have no clue what.
<HurricaneRyss> talus: pot luck? ;-)
<talus> ryssa: no, my dealer didn't show, but i'm trying.

Mon Nov  6 [00:46]
<Alryssa> sarcasm - a staple of radw
<thetaWerk> no jack, that's "fight" and "spasticism"

Mon Nov  6 [00:58]
<talus> well, "Whamo!" makes frisbees and yo-yos.  if this is true
	about the dvds, apparently "wamo" also makes frisbees, but not
	on purpose.

Mon Nov  6 [22:53]
<Xanta_Claus> is there gonna be a new star trek series?
<talus> xanta: apparently so.  i think it's called "star trek: dead horse"

Tue Nov  7 [02:51]
<Jondar> sheesh... this is annoying... blackstar have a "buy one get
	 one free" offer with DW VHS tapes... I only need one of the
	 tapes they list :-P
<talus> so give the free one as gift
<talus> or donate it as a door prize in the fan club
<talus> but whatever you do, don't ever pass up free stuff :-)
<Nathan_Roberts> Sell it on eBay! >;)
<Jondar> Nathan: LOL! earn a profit on something I got for free :)
<Nathan_Roberts> That's the idea >:)
<talus> nate: that's brilliant
<Jondar> Nathan: are you sure you're not a Ferengi? :)
<Nathan_Roberts> LOL
<talus> grand nagus nate?

	  asking them that

Wed Nov  8 [02:42]

<TheProf> I bought a new monitor toady
<TheProf> 17 inch flat screen.
<Whomiga> Cool
<Whomiga> How much did that set you back?
<TheProf> $129
<Nathan_Roberts> $129 for a $17 inch monitor??
<Nathan_Roberts> Man have prices come down
<Nathan_Roberts> er... remove at least one $ from that sentence
<Whomiga> $17 for a 129 inch monitor :-)
...
<Whomiga> BTW: I would love what I wrote above - a 129 inch monitor :-)
<Whomiga> Oh course, who wouldn't?
<Nathan_Roberts> Tell me where and I'll buy a whole warehouseful
<Nathan_Roberts> Of course, if it's a CRT, a warehoseful might be just one...
<Whomiga> A 10 foot 9 inch monitor :-)
<Whomiga> Make that diagonally in HDTV, Widescreen type :-)
<Nathan_Roberts> OF course, you're need a platoon of lifters just to
		 move the thing...
<Nathan_Roberts> Or a crane...
<Whomiga> Actually - a very high resolution computer type projector
	  capable of showing on a 129 inch diagonal screen would be
	  nice
<Whomiga> And probably be easier to carry around...
<Nathan_Roberts> The whole wall could be the monitor %)
<Whomiga> Have to have a white wall, though - could be interesting
	  watching people with other colours of wall
<Whomiga> The ultimate projector - projects a picture on the moon at
	  perfect clarity...
<whomiga> Would be one way to have a world premiere of a movie - or
	  would that be moon premiere?

Fri Nov 10 [01:58]
<talus> twisted's tag line annoys me.  i'm avoiding it til they change it
<Lyssie> o.O
<Alryssa> "I'm "to" lame to edit ircd.conf"
<Alryssa> it's... dull
<Lyssie> Hadn't actually seen it....
 * Lyssie has no clue what it means.
<Lyssie> And, anyway, Subreality are trying to kill twisted, like we
	 killed hebron and viper. ;]
<talus> i see it everytime someone who's on twisted joins the channel
<SSSpeedRacerrr> btw, I'm to lame to edit ircd.conf
<Lyssie> Ryss: Yeah. means absolutely nothing to me...
<NathanR> I think I know what it means.
 * talus has a theory, but i bet nate's is more detailed
<NathanR> ircd.conf is the configuration file for an IRC server.
<NathanR> One of the configuration options is the description tag for
	  the server
<NathanR> Apparently the default setting for dalnet's IRC server is
	  "I'm to lame to edit ircd.conf", probably to shame lazy
	  server admins that don't check their configuration files %)
<NathanR> The Twisted admin apparently noticed the typo, and put
	  quotes around it to emphasize it
<NathanR> (To shame the DALnet irc server coders, probably >;)
<SSSpeedRacerrr> that sentence corroborates the truth that more than
		 one programmer I know writes better code than English
		 ;-)

Fri Nov 10 [02:14]
 * SSSpeedRacerrr has Lust for Zoe
<SSSpeedRacerrr> "Lust for Zoe" is someones fan site and would make a
		 damn good title for the kind of erotic novel that's
		 tucked in the corner of B. dalton where women can buy
		 it unnoticed
<talus> yeah, beauty and brains.  much more attractive than just brains :-)
<dse> "The Sex Life of Zoe Herriot"?
<dse> I'm not that familiar with how erotica should be titled
<SSSpeedRacerrr> they force you to sit through lectures on it in san
		 francisco ;-)
<talus> well.... if we're gonna go with tacky titles, i nominate "zoes
	does talus"
...
<talus> err, make that "zoe"
<SSSpeedRacerrr> no talus, you meant Zoes. One isn't enough for you,
		 you crazed wanton

Fri Nov 10 [03:27]
 * Nathan_Roberts suddenly has an odd idea
<Nathan_Roberts> Quotefile: Dead Tree Edition
<Alryssa> dead Tree edition? You mean... *shock horror* PAPER??
<Alryssa> that thin stuff people keep telling us about?
<talus> i bet with the right marketing that could make it to the
	bestseller list
<talus> tho paper's dangerous.  it can cut you bad
<talus> course when it does, conveniently it absorbs blood
<Nathan_Roberts> Talus: With the right marketing, the phone book could
		 make it to the bestseller list
<Alryssa> So... what was the thread of this idea, Nate? (before it
	  gets away from you... ) :-P
<Nathan_Roberts> No thread in particular
<Nathan_Roberts> I wsa just going through old quotefiles and it just hit me
<Alryssa> Dead Tree! Dead Tree! Dead... oh.
<Alryssa> What, the dead tree hit you?
 * Alryssa runs
<talus> if a tree fell on the quotefiler and no one else was around,
	would he publish a book?
<Alryssa> well if you're going to kill a tree, you may as well put it
	  to good use
<talus> who gets to kill the tress if you start this project?
<talus> and does that person get to use bazookas? :-)

Fri Nov 10 [03:35]
<Nathan_Roberts> Hm.... #dwc comedy cd >:)
<Alryssa> uhoh, I see ideas forming
<talus> just as long as you don't expect us to read whatever lines got
	us in the quotefile in the first place.  i have a voice that
	was meant for irc

Fri Nov 10 [03:38]
<Alryssa> Theta comes with his own jelly babies for that instant sugar rush!
<ThetaActionFigure> *bounce*
<ThetaActionFigure> *bounce*
<ThetaActionFigure> *bounce*
<Alryssa> And his own syringe so you can jab him with tranqulisers
	  when you've had enough!

Fri Nov 10 [03:48]
<talus> ya know that the line in the pinky & the brain theme song that
	goes "one is a genius, the other's insane"?  i always supected
	the insane one was brain, and the genius was pinky

Fri Nov 10 [04:24]
<Jondar> any way, a Windows Me install CD came with this new PC, so I
	 decided to try it... it lasted less than an hour before I
	 wiped the disk and reinstalled Win98.  WinMe has some good
	 features, but one feature I hate... you can't hack the
	 registry to move the IE files somewhere else :-P
<Alryssa> WinMe is, as usual, a pointless effort
<Jondar> Also, there's no option not to install the Movie Maker thing
<Jondar> no option to remove it either
<talus> i'm sorry but "WinMe" just sounds like something a cheap whore
	says at the gaming tables in vegas
<SarnyThete> WinMe LoseMe LaunchMe CrashMe, KickMe TrickMe WipeMe TrashMe
<Alryssa> Format:C
<Jondar> it looks just like Win98, with only a few minor differences,
	 yet takes up twice the space
<SarnyThete> Jason: it's perverse how that almost sounds like a feature

Fri Nov 10 [04:36]
 * Jondar looks at the new features added to mIRC 5.81... Oooh, you
   can now have proper chat hyperlinks in webpages
<Jondar> in the form HREF="irc://server.net:port/channel"
<talus> ooh, a great new source of newbies to play with!
...
<Alryssa> do we really want IRC virgins in here? ;-P
<Alryssa> we might scare them
<talus> that's why i want them here
<talus> scaring newbies is fun
<Jondar> Oh... the links only seem to work with IE at the moment...
<Alryssa> bum
<talus> so that means me and what, 8 or 10 other people in the known
	world won't be able to use them?

Fri Nov 10 [05:31]
*** talus has joined #drwhochat
<Alryssa> damn, talus, you just missed Zoe. She came in, did a lap
	  dance for Thete, then danced out.
<Alryssa> and me without a digital camera.
 * talus makes a very sad face
<talus> i'll just have to cheer myself up by hanging out with the page3 girls
<talus> yes we've just departed reality again, destination talusland
<Alryssa> population: talus
...
<talus> of course you've forgotten the dreams that live there.
	they're population too.  of a sort.
<Alryssa> dreams of the population, which again, would be.. you!
<talus> no, the dreams kind of take on a life of their own.  or so it seems.
 * Jondar yawns...
<talus> ut oh, all this dream talk is putting him to sleep.  better
	find something else

Fri Nov 10 [05:49]
<Alryssa> Jay: I have a new trigger word: Shatner
<Alryssa> Fuck - what was that?
 * Arcalian blinks
<Alryssa> the power dimmed for a second on everything
<Jondar> and that's what happens when you say that word? :)
 * Alryssa is lucky the PC didn't reboot
<Alryssa> that was freaky
<Arcalian> why what is that a trigger word *for* Ryss?
<Arcalian> aside from brown outs taht is
<Alryssa> Arcalian: Just type Shatner and you'll see
 * Arcalian looks nonplussed
<Arcalian> im gonna regeret this
<Arcalian> Shatner
 * Alryssa hears the rest of the room scream in abject terror as the
   strains of 'Lucy...' begin to play!
<talus> as in, the brown-out scared her so much she almost shatner pants?
 * Alryssa hears the rest of the room scream in abject terror as the
   strains of 'Lucy...' begin to play!
 * talus runs away from mass fwappings
 * Alryssa hunts talus down and beats the shatner outta him

Fri Nov 10 [05:54]
<Arcalian> of COURSE you were feelin silly, if youre in a good moode
	   yer silly, thats a Ryssa Rule
<Jondar> there are Ryssa Rules? :)
<Arcalian> yes
<Arcalian> for example
<Arcalian> whenver a pic of paul is within a five mile radius....(g)
 * Arcalian ducks fwaps
 * Jondar fwaps ducks :)

Fri Nov 10 [06:01]
<talus> i swear i didn't read that.  in fact i usually get all my dw
	news from conversations in here
<talus> but then you guys are a lot more interactive than web pages
	are.  i can scream at them all day and they never answer back.
...
 * Alryssa watches talus scream at a web page.... and then watches in
   amusement as the web page yells back.
...
 * Alryssa watches talus fall off his chair
<talus> that would be a truly interactive web page
<Arcalian> webpage: "I dunno man, shaddap!"
<Alryssa> All you need to do is put a scream .wav embedded in a web page
<talus> not possible, i surf from the couch
 * Alryssa sees the couch go over backwards
<Alryssa> *flip*
<Jondar> webpage: "If ya want me ta load any faster perhaps you should
	 get DSL, stupid!"
<Alryssa> *snort*
<talus> actually i was thinking something along the lines of talus:
	"where are you hiding the information i want, you crappy web
	page" page: "haha wouldn't you like to know!"
<talus> jondar: that too :-)
<talus> okay, now i need an alternate breakdown for dsl that more
	accurately desribes it....
<Jondar> "Download Speed: Lightning!"
<talus> i like it
<talus> best i had was "doesn't seem long"  as well as some rather silly ones
<Alryssa> "Ludicrous Speed!"
<Alryssa> Download speed: Ridiculous
<Arcalian> download speed: faster than a bunch of pmebers chasing paul
<Setok> alryssa: doesn't make D.S.L. :)
<Alryssa> I wasn't going for the initials
<Alryssa> *titter*
<talus> tho "dowload some ladies" somehow seems appropriate for some
	people i know/am

Fri Nov 10
<Jondar> one thing I had to do when I unpacked the new PC was divide
	 all the CDs I got with it into three piles: Drivers, Blanks
	 and Coasters
<talus> lemme guess, coasters was the biggest?
...
<Jondar> there was only 8 CDs on the coasters pile... two of them had
	 AOL on them :-P

Fri Nov 10 [07:41]
<Alryssa> Argh!
<Alryssa> I keep getting runtime errors on this estimate... won't let
	  me get any further
<talus> careful about mentioning runtime errors around me.  my brain
	was already moving in gear to talk you through a clean install
	of the software i work phone support for

Fri Nov 10 [09:45]
<Kroll> <The Guide>French people are none too pleased at the Americans
	for their assault on French as The International language and
	will cheerfully subvert them with cracker sites.</The Guide>
<Jondar> Kroll: the majority of hacker sites seem to be based in Russia :)
<Kroll> <The Guide>Russian people are none too pleased at the
	Americans for their assault on their political system and will
	cheerfully subvert them with cracker sites.</The Guide>

Fri Nov 10 [11:38]
<talus> whew!  thank bill for safe mode.
 * talus notes for future reference that when windows recommends
   against something, it's probably a good idea to listen to it.
<KnightOfJaffaCakes> I wish Windows had a "dangerous' mode for getting
		     more work done at the risk of a more severe crash

Fri Nov 10 [19:50]
<Anji-Kapoor> (When you need something done right, do it yerself)
<talus> ak: good idea.....
 * talus begins running the country

Fri Nov 10 [22:05]
<talus> nate: at the risk of getting fwapped, did you try a reboot?
<talus> tho normally a reboot shouldn't be required for such a thing
<NathanR> Talus: This is Windows we're dealing with here.  You need to
	  reboot when you come back from the toilet.

Fri Nov 10 [22:37]
<talus> i wish i could create a shortcut that would hibernate the
	laptop and drag me off to bed
<Nathan_Roberts> Talus: You might be able to do the former... I have
		 my doubts about the latter...
<talus> well no point in hibernating the laptop if i'm gonna be too
	sleepy to move from the couch to the bed
<talus> because on the couch the laptop can just remain on my chest
	and act as a heater
<The_42nd_Doctor> wouldn't it also irradiate your internal organs?
<Jo_Grant> talus: there are better things to have sitting on your
	   chest acting as a heater, you know...
<talus> jo: true, but i'm allergic to cats, and i don't live in nevada
<Fenric1> A double no on the pussy heater then.
...
<Theta-G> at leat you kept the 'h' in
[All class, this lot]

Fri Nov 10 [23:29]
<The_42nd_Doctor> see, if there was someone in this building doing
		  that, they'd get kicked out. Not for having sex, but
		  for doing it loudly and disturbing people.
<The_42nd_Doctor> I think the policy is, what you do in your room is
		  your own business, so keep it that way.
<talus> don't ask, don't yell?
...
<talus> jo: ahh, i just thought maybe it was her own form of
	exhibitionism or something.  maybe even a way of gloating.
	"hear that?  i'm having great noisy messy sex, and you don't
	even have a good pinup to keep you company!"

Fri Nov 10 [23:38]
*** JoGrant is now known as MegL
<talus> i always wondered if jo had a brother named research....

Fri Nov 10 [23:42]
*** TomFODW_writing is now known as TomFODW
<TomFODW> Well, I finished my story!
<talus> tom: you're 1 hour 15 minutes early.  you'd said you wouldn't
	be done until 4.  would you like to run the airlines for us?
...
<talus> aww, you're no fun.
<TomFODW> fun is not what i'm personally looking for in an air traffic
	  controller
<TomFODW> and if you are, remind me never to fly with you

Fri Nov 10
<talus> florida's not even a place i wanna visit.
<Alryssa> not after this especially ;-P
<talus> nothing to do with this.  it's not my kind of weather.
<talus> and it's too flat
<talus> when i look to the horizon and see smog, i wanna see some
	mountains hiding underneath it, dammit!

 * OddioBoi has a feeling that, even with an alien invasion, we'd
   manage to be divided on how to deal with it.
<talus> oddio: of course not, there'd be the "cool!  aliens!  let's go
	talk to them!" camp, and the "damn!  aliens!  let's go kill
	them!" camp

Mon Nov 13 [19:40]
<OddioBoi> Brenda: Well, if the aliens are smart they'll just vaporize
	   the whole area around DC and leave. :)
<talus> lol oddio!  can we get some of those aliens now?

<Starfury> I dunno why companies don't want their customers to know

<DoctorWho> Talus: That's what a hat's for >;)
<talus> nate: i wear one of those all day at work.  when i come home i
	don't wanna wear one anymore.
<trinalin> You have to wear a hat at work?
<talus> trina: no, it's by choice.  i do have to wear my hair pulled
	back, and i prefer to wear a hat when i have to do that.
<DoctorWho> You could also cut your hair out of your face..............
<talus> nate: hell would have to freeze over more times than we've
	definied words for numbers before i would cut my hair.
<DoctorWho> Talus: In that case, I'll have to make a few more outings
	    from my rock >;)

	karma in one night.
<DoctorWho> Damn Talus, now I want cashews!!
<Alden> Nate, Talus: damn you both. :)
<talus> nate: wel, it's only 8:15 there, stores are prolly still open
<DoctorWho> Yeah but do I really want to do it...
<DoctorWho> Also I'm not sure I have enough money to spare...
<DoctorWho> I took trip to Radio Shack and spent a good portion of
	    what I have in my checking account
<talus> nate: ahh.  computers over food.  glad to know your priorities
	are still on straight, otherwise i'd loose a hell freeze.

<gordon-r-d> Talus : I always used to use Quoth by Polygon Window to
	     annoy the neighbours. Six minutes of horribly loud
	     clanking noises :)
<talus> gordon: that could work.  tho personally i think me howling at
	the top of my lungs at 11:30pm to a song i'm playing in
	earphone, would be more annoying
<gordon-r-d> Talus : Hmm
<talus> gordon: i can howl pretty loud and off-key
<gordon-r-d> I can scream unintelligibly, I should join a death-metal
	     band really... :)
<talus> gordon: rotfctdospd!

Fri Nov 17
<DoctorWho> well I guess it's time to head to the store, if I want to
	    get those cashews and cornuts
<DoctorWho> What isle would thouse be on, BTW?
<talus> nate: depends.  in some stores they're with the candy.  in
	others they're near crackers.
<talus> and i'm sure other stores might be creative and put them with
	chips, or who knows even picnic supplies
<DoctorWho> In our safeway, I think those are all the same isle
<MegL> around here we have a nut section
<MegL> nuts are usually in the isle with potato chips and pop
<Alden> our house has a nut section.  It's the bedroom across the hall
	from mine.

<Whomiga> The bugs in the program - NOT the OPERATING SYSTEM

<DoctorWho> Thete: "Nate's Salad CD" doesn't sound the same either >;)
<Theta-G> LOL
<talus> if i ever make such collections i'll just call it "crap i like"
<DoctorWho> LOL
<Theta-G> i've got some mixtapes, and one CD called "Thetakalcha Matrix"
<talus> or maybe "crap to listen to in the car", "crap to put me to
	sleep", "crap i don't really like but included because i can
	fit 10 hours of music on a cd-r and hate to be wasteful"
<DoctorWho> ROTFLMAO
<DoctorWho> Talus: Some of the stuff on some of my anthologies could

<DoctorWho> What I don't like about jewel cases are the way they're

<Theta-G> there's a cloning scene in the nude bomb where they have

	  transformation arch in 'Evil of the Daleks' and because it's
	  an audio, the description reminds me of the one in TNB
<Theta-G> they also morotized an office deak and chair so Smart could

<DoctorWho> o...k...
<Alden> Thete: Why?  Too cheap to give him a car?
<Theta-G> i can't remember the justification; i was too busy working
