<judges119> Has anybody tried to eat the ingredients of a cake on the assumption the ingredients will be
<judges119> like the final product?
<mamacx> omg no
<maximumoffence> ...yes.
<maximumoffence> I was a stupid child
<aydiosmio> I don't anticipate the world moving away from keyboards any time soon for the sake of productivity
<nydel> aydiosmio: i think the world will split into people who use touch-screens & people who have shit to do
<Delta> should make a website for weird knitted stuff and call it itchy instead of etsy
Nevermind: About shitty code
Nevermind: There is an hierarchy - WidgetBase - GuiWidget - Rectangle
Nevermind: What do you call a programmer who adds a scroll event handler to Rectangle class, which changes value of a field added to WidgetBase, which is later used in GuiWidget as a text argument to a low leve render code
Nevermind: All this just to make a scrolling text show up over Rectabgle in a single place?
MaxEd: You don't call him anything, he should not hear you coming
<Ta`niik> I got a few assorted things at the store a half hour ago. I got a bunch of dirty looks while at the cash register. I didn't realize it until now that I had bought knife blades and halloween candy at the same time. >.<

<Vyk> Ender, what happened with your motorcycle?
<Ender> Motorcycles are not good for deer hunting
<FiestaJoe> well you got it in one shot
<FiestaJoe> and it dropped right where it was hit
<FiestaJoe> cost of ammunition seems expensive though
<Ender> $6700 per shot

<TheDancingLobster> i tend not to read code anyway
<TheDancingLobster> i just glare at it

<myself> I'm reminded of alphawolf's story of tracking down some guy who was sending strange traffic, and turned out to live in the next town over.
<myself> Guy's personal website included a pic of himself holding a banana like a gun.
<myself> so, wolfie and Evil head over there, armed with bananas and an Ethereal printout. Bang on the door. Someone answers, looks like the guy in the pic.
<myself> <threatening banana-stance>TELNET POLICE. STOP PINGING GARGAMEL.</stance>
<myself> And they leave.
<myself> Stunned. Silence.
<myself> the packets stopped.
<steveio>this dude at work is an insufferable asshole
<steveio>and he asked me to look at his code because it wasn't working right. But he had that air of "I couldn't find it, so I don't think you will either, but I know my boss will ask if anyone else looked at it, so here." Such an asshole
<steveio>anyhow, found the problem right away, simple fix. But I then added this lovely gem:
<steveio>#define sizeof( rand(
<steveio>he uses sizeof in for loops everywhere >:)
<maki> i would be afraid to take japanese formally

<Pryoidain> NTP Protocol helped me to isolate a plumbing problem in the apartment before the people on site could figure it out.
<asaph> ...what?
<Pryoidain> Well I get this call saying there's a leak in the apartment below me, they need permission to enter to navigate it and solve the problem, so i grant them it. Now I'm swamped, so when things calm down I do the logical thing
<Pryoidain> I checked ishi's NTP Pool Server monitoring page, and pulled up the CSV file to look at epoch times.
<Pryoidain> Last time the server pinged it was like 5 minutes before.
<Pryoidain> From this I knew that the leak could not be from the furnace/ac as that is in the server room (I know I know, but its the coldest room) and if water hit any of the routers or anything or the mains, UPS would have turned off the server.
<Pryoidain> Next I worked back. Can't be in any of the exterior walls, thats where the wires run and the socket for the Main router in the small bedroom is. Server goes through that router.
<Pryoidain> The modem is in the master bedroom, which shares a wall with the bathroom, so I was worried, but if it's still up then no shorts there or anything freaky going on, because, well, NTP responses are still sub millisecond.
<Pryoidain> And finally, It can't be in the kitchen, because for whatever dumbfuck reason the outlets in the kitchen and the server room are the same circuit, and the Garbage disposal outlet is UNDER the pipes and isn't a GFCI (yet) so it would have tripped the breaker killing the server, etc etc.
<Pryoidain> So its the bathroom, internal wall, on the sink or tub.
<Pryoidain> Get home, it was the bathroom sink, leak in the internal wall.
<asaph> ....
<Pryoidain> Yeah, i'm just kinda basking in this right now.
<Bitgod> how to make an iframe stay put when you minimize the page, its fine in full screen, but when i minimize the page the frame moves?
<forbex> you know, every time i come in here someone is having problems with an iframe
<forbex> i don't think that's a coincidence
<P1RATEZ> they are probably holding it wrong

BossMan: That is intellisense
BossMan: It's an extra feature
BossMan: They give it to you for free then it goes away after 15 days or something like that
BossMan: You will get used to it, love it, have it taken away, be unable to understand how you ever wrote SQL without it, then slowly forget it existed.

<+abum> where is siloam springs
<d4> its a mystery
<d4> one of those un-google-able locations
<zap> even if you were to open google right now and type "where is siloam springs"

Cypher: So I just let a cat in
Cypher: fed it a bit
Cypher: had it sit on my lap for the better part of an hour
Cypher: and I've only just realised it isn't actually my cat
<@Twinge> Saw the word 'spaghetti' and assumed people were talking about code. Was not disappointed.
