<Whomiga> Ok, hands up those who wish to report Ash for discrimination ;-)
<Guest14431> not me :)
<Guest14431> and why would i want to stick my hand up some one who wants to
report ash?
<RedQueen> more to the point, who's hand? if it's Frank Oz, I'm
volunteering... that man has talented hands
[Cokespray!]

<PeterTheGrape> shel's computer is like a cat that keeps bringing the same
poor mouse back in
<PeterTheGrape> or, in this case, a sleeping shel
<DoctorWho> An empty shel?
<Alryssa> *facepalms*
* PeterTheGrape hands nate the fwapper
<Lyssie> Self-abuse?
<DoctorWho> *fwap* ooF
* DoctorWho hands it back
<DoctorWho> And not the good kind.
<PeterTheGrape> i just found that it's more important for nate to be
fwapped than for me to do the fwapping
Dec 3 [23:48]
<AudioBoy> There's got to be a simple answer as to why the IDE Channel 1
port isn't working on this card. And I'm sure it's a simple
answer.
<DoctorWho> And it's probably wrong ^_^
<AudioBoy> Nate: Yeah, it's probably 54.

<Lyssie> Y'know, I've heard of Acupuncture, but never staples....
<DoctorWho> I've heard of staples. I got my printer there
<PeterJF> does that mean nate's an acupunk?
<DoctorWho> I won't fwap you if you won't fwap me.

[Guam is in the middle of a hurricane]

updating

temporary communications breakdown to the radar dish becoming airbourne

<dha> for ages, I said the travel business would be great if not for the
customers. Then I decided we needed to get rid of the customers *and*
the vendors.
<dha> Then I moved into the back office doing computers and accounting and
decided that we also needed to get rid of the travel agents.
Dec 11
<DoctorWho> "Nice going, Merlin"
<DoctorWho> Abracawhatchmacadabracallit!
* Alryssa giggles at Nate
<DoctorWho> Ryss: Do you have any idea how hard it was to figure out how to
spell that?
<Alryssa> Nate: *smirk*
<DoctorWho> "That was easy enough"
<Greebo_T_Cat> is nathan now speaking entirely in quotes?
<Greebo_T_Cat> has the QF thing gone to his head?
<Greebo_T_Cat> ;)
...
<DoctorWho> And ReBoot quotes, to (pardon the phrase) boot
Dec 11
<Alryssa> I got a problem with this 'ere winmodem. The software crashes
while I'm using it at random. Now... I think I may have tracked
it down to it sharing an IRQ with my graphics driver. Should I
change it to one that's not being used?
<SpooForBrains> yeah worth a try, but IRQs can be tricky buggers
<SpooForBrains> what OS are you running?
<Alryssa> 98 SE
<SpooForBrains> tried totally uninstalling it and reinstalling it? then it
should reassign an IRQ and that might resolve the conflict
<Alryssa> Yeah, I tried that. :-/
<Alryssa> Windows freaked out on me for about 15 minutes
<Alryssa> "No, the modem is HERE! ARGH!":
Dec 11

<timeladymagdalene> I remember when I wanted to have an excuse to get a
single room my sophomore year, my friend Andrea (fan)
suggested that I tell the housing committee that I had
chronic hysteresis
<AudioBoy> *lol*
<timeladymagdalene> I said, with my luck, I'd get the ONE FAN who'd know I
was bollocksing
Dec 11
* smokeytimelady wonders if she can cleverly hide the words, 'screw you'
in a drawing ...
<AudioBoy> You could draw a "screw" and a female sheep. ;)
Dec 11
<Alryssa> Alden: Did you finish that Unreal Tournament level?
<Alden> nope, I haven't really had time. >.<
<Alden> haven't had much time to *play* UT, let along make levels for it.
:/
* Alryssa figured
<DoctorWho> "Hm. 42 + 69 - 1.44, carry the 6, borrow the 2, cross the t..."
* Alden carries the 6
<Alden> Where do you want me to put this?
* NathanR points to the trash chute
* Alden trashes the 6
<Whomiga> So, now we have trashy 6 in the channel?
<Alden> yup
<Alden> The best kind ;)
<DoctorWho> Sounds like the name of a boy band...
<DoctorWho> or girl band
<Whomiga> Or fabulous 6? - Going in to get their album in a store... Do you
have fabulous 6?
Dec 11
<Lyssie> Hey, we aim to please.
<DoctorWho> Ana: That sounds like the name of an instant-messaging based
internet sex service ^_^
<Lyssie> What a tempting concept.
<Lyssie> "We AIM to please, for all your cyber fantasy needs!"
Dec 11
<ComputerKiller> Ok, you know you're a geek when you look at a website logo
that's got a string of binary numbers, and
<ComputerKiller> a) Start checking to see if it says something
<ComputerKiller> b) Within 5 seconds, recognize the fact that it's ASCII
<ComputerKiller> c) Within 10 seconds, can tell what it says without
looking up the code
* ComputerKiller grabs a butterfly net and goes chasing after his life
<Alden> won't it go through the holes? :)
* Oh_sod_it darns the holes in his life
<ComputerKiller> Darn them to Heck?
Dec 11

Dec 11
* DoctorWho suddenly discovers some tiny screws on his desk
<DoctorWho> Where'd those come from?
<DoctorWho> Oh wait, I remember
* MegL hopes not out of your head or it might fall off ;-)
<DoctorWho> I may have a few loose screws but they're all internal
Dec 11 [00:22]
[Nate accidentally disconnects himself from IRC]
<DoctorWho> And now it's time to play "Can Nathan Keep His Keyboards
Straight?"
<Jondar> Alt-F4 (Nathan disappears again)... "No, He Can't!"
Dec 12 [21:28]
<DoctorWho> Sheesh, you get convienience stores in dorms?
<DoctorWho> I live in a condo and I don't have a convienience store within
a mile

Dec 15 [21:32]
<Alden> Our Prime Minister has come out today and stated she prefers the
Lord of the Rings books to the films.
<Alden> Way to promote them, Helen!
Dec 16 [23:40]
<PeterJF> If I saw dude knocked out with a bomb on his back, i'm not
totally sure I'd just assume the buckle in the front was a
detonator
<PeterJF> especially if i didn't know a cyberbomb when i saw one (no, not
the whole story just the explosive devices in it)
Dec 17 [20:43]
--> Alden has joined #DrWhoChat
* invincor is mysteriously cold and unaffectionate... aloof
<Alden> aloof of bread?
[Fwap!]
...
<Alden> sheesh, on IRC for 30 seconds and already my first fwap
<Alden> must be a new record
...
<Whomiga> you haven't ever gotten a preemptive fwap (as soon as you came
in?)
Dec 18 [01:51]
<Alryssa> It's YABB code, which I've never heard of
<Alden> Ah, Yet Another Bulliten Board
<Alryssa> It worked the other night... now it's screwed up again
<Alden> I looked at that briefly when I wanted to switch my message boards
to use CGI
<Alryssa> Ugh, don't.
<Alden> I didn't. ^_^
<ComputerKiller> YABBa DABBa Do?
<Alryssa> More like YABBa DABBa Don't. :P
Dec 19 [15:23]
<Shel> i have this horrible philosophy about school right now... don't care
how i do as long as it gets done
<Shel> and i went into the final exam with the lowest possible grade for
the class as a C, so not worried about failing
<Shel> basically, if i get an A on the test, i get an A in the class...
<Shel> if i fail the test, i get a C
<gordon-r-d> and a C is a pass?
<Shel> so either way... i pass!
<Shel> A, B, C, D, F... only F is failing
<gordon-r-d> oh well, your lack of concern is understandable then :)
<MarkyD> I had a similar approach to my dissertation - if I scraped a pass,
a got a 2:1 overall - if I got 100%, I still got a 2:1 - guess
what I aimed for? ;-)
<gordon-r-d> heck, in that scenario I'd just sit there and flick boogers at
the backs of the heads of those sitting in front of me
Dec 19 [16:09]
<Shel> but i don't think i'm that overweight!
<Shel> or am i deluded?
<gordon-r-d> you don't look overweight to me...
<Greebo_T_Cat> take off your shirt. we'll give you an honest opinion, right
guys?
Dec 19 [18:54]

* EBCorp plans to come to Gallifrey one day earlier
<TomFODW> earlier than what?
<TomFODW> and why should we care? ;)
* EBCorp would fwap TomFODW, but it would only encourage him
...
