< Arelon> For example here in Beijing the pedestrian is never at fault if the other person was driving a motor vehicle
< Arelon> Even if the accident was the pedestrian's fault
<@Matthew> is that why the tanks didnt run that tianamen square guy over
<SickInterpol> you couldn't be farther from the truth. I put 16GB in a quad core machine and that shit ran fly, dog.
<AaronBallman> SickInterpol: I am not a canine, and I am sorry that you had flies running on your feces.
<haq> i had this dream last night that i was laying in bed and i could hear someone saying "hey. hey dude. hey." from under the bed
<haq> so i whipped around and looked
<haq> and it was a crocodile wearing raybans and smoking a cigarette
<haq> so i tell this crocodile "bro you need to either put that out or go outside with it, there's no cigarettes allowed in the house"
<haq> dude's response is "chill out. crocodiles can't even smoke cigarettes."
<haq> then he takes a puff, blows the smoke in my face, and says "think about it."
<haq> so i wake up, laugh about it, and go about my day
<haq> well, in traffic on the way home this morning, i finally realize
<haq> crocodiles can't smoke cigarettes. they don't have lips, so they can't get any suction
<grifferz> bitcointalk full of marks who one month ago were all "yeah deconstruct the state! to the moon! fuck the bankers!" then today they are "omg I put my son's education fund on mtgox, who do I sue?"
<xplat> man, i am just amazed at how bad rhythmbox is
<xplat> i mean it, i'm literally amazed
<xplat> not just at how long it stayed the default gnome music player while being so bad, i've come to expect things like that
<xplat> it's how they managed to avoid all the obvious and easy mistakes and find a whole other set of mindblowingly inobvious mistakes to make instead
<Gilded> Damn ideology dealers
<Gilded> I once bought a two ounce bag of nihilism
<Gilded> Later I found out it had no value
<surskitty> the pair-up system is way less silly than Moulder carrying around a horse in fe8
<surskitty> I love you, weirdly buff healer guy
<surskitty> and your ability to fucking carry cavalry
<Geight> Moulder did that through sheer force of not giving a fuck
<Bigby> so fox news is hating on the lego movie as it makes big business the bad guy
<Bigby> i really do believe if the KKK had a fortune 500 company FOX would defend them
< Laike> beyond Noodler's 54ths Mass, are there any fountain pen inks you can actually huff?
< kerin> heh, probably Superchrome
< kerin> i expect that would get the job done :drunk:
<@jrvc> I got a bit of a rush off Baystate Blue when I first opened it.
<@jrvc> It was pretty fucking rank
<@jrvc> Got me hard as a rock.
<Sebas> When I have a kid, on his eleventh birthday, I will arrange for a trained owl to deliver a letter to them. They will break the wax seal with a trembling hand, open the hand-crafted parchment, and read the words inscribed therein with a fine ink and an eagle quill:
<Sebas> "Magic isn't real, dumbass."
<Milori> 'ur adopted'
<Milori> this owl will now self-destruct in 5...
<Science> Quite frankly I'm kinda sick of the cats
<Science> Picture of cats have exactly zero appeal to me. So seeing half a channel go "No One Cares. At All CATS" is pretty annoying.
<Science> This channel isn't about looking at fucking cats
-!- Randall changed the topic of #xkcd to: This channel is about looking at fucking cats.
<Science> Ok now it's about cats
<Science> Carry on
<Zelest> I downloaded a porno today...
<Zelest> Which started with a HUGE dubstep drop
<Zelest> Biggest turn off ever
<Jigsy> Fucking around with computers is how I became a registered Hex offender.
<BlackMoon> this is why ICANN has never given a single fuck about international chars in domain names
<BlackMoon> because to them, you can't even type those things on a keyboard.
<BlackMoon> Infact im going to wager that you should start a warez/movie site in the USA
<BlackMoon> comprised of international characters
<BlackMoon> Nobody in the USA will ever be able to visit them. definately not the FBI
<BlackMoon> MPAA: "hey fbi you need to go taken this site, its like, swiggly u fancy M then an A with a swiggly hat on it"
<BlackMoon> FBI: "Uh, apparently it already has been taken down, we can't connect to UMA.com, we have no idea what your talking about swiggly hats"

<kerin> sup, nerd
<Mondale> sup nerd
<kerin> punctuatin'
<kerin> to a limited extent
<kerin> you?
<Mondale> wtf does that mean
<kerin> it's a contraction of "punctuating"
<kerin> which means applying punctuation to sentences
<Mondale> why would you need to do that?
<kerin> "to a limited extent" indicates that this punctuation is incomplete
<Mondale> yes, but why
<kerin> because punctuation provides additional clarity when parsing sentences
<kerin> and my closing "you?" is digressing to inquire, out of politeness, about whatever tragically uninteresting bullshit you occupy your time with
<jrvc> OH BURN
<+Shawn> I've got 500 feet of cat6
<%fbs> waddafux u has so muc hcat6?
<+Shawn> fbs: Nobody was using it
<+Shawn> So I figured I could not use it better than anybody else
<doublehappy> bomb scare at my work
<doublehappy> S U S P I C I O U S B R I E F C A S E
<doublehappy> we have to leave by the basement door now
<doublehappy> when we leave we have to go via the basement but the driveway goes right past the door where the suspicious briefcase is
<m[at]> as long as you dont taunt the briefcase you'll be fine
<doublehappy> it is an old brown briefcase with a sign saying "FREE"
< Clarke> Haskell is like dropping a trident missile on the problem; MUMPS and PHP are like slamming two uranium chunks together by hand.
SavageWolf: Inside every man and woman is a horny teenager. Sometimes literally. In which case, uh, you are doing something illegal.
* Spellcheck has quit (Connection reset by peer)
<Boletus> Fnilaly!
<bbitmaster> bah, this is the dumbest thing ever. I broke linux mint over the silliest thing, and I am quite pissed.
<bbitmaster> The bottom panel was too small. I was adjusting it to be more manageable. I accidentally right clicked on the "+" in the dialog that makes it larger.
<bbitmaster> right clicking causes it to go to max size. It now fills the screen and I can't go to any other window or menu or anything. I restarted and it kept that setting.
* 1 hour later
<bbitmaster> I joined the linux mint help channel, the guy there helping me suddenly left
<bbitmaster> he came back and said he was stupid enough to "recreate my problem"
<bbitmaster> and now he's in the same boat
<bish0p_> The problem with European History is that there is too goddamn much of it.
< j0h> Ive been drunk for nearly 2 weeks but jrvc might have a problem.
<@LinearInterpol> j0h: that's called being a system administrator.
<Swob> there's a species of pea which has peapods that are 6 feet long
<RD> I wouldn't use that as a pickup line
<refnum> kish: last time I slept with this girl she put her dogs in the middle of the bed
<refnum> like wtf
<refnum> it was like a clear separation
<ogz> HAHA
