00:23 <@dasunt> Ha ha.
00:24 <@dasunt> So the youtube video of lowlifes assaulting people made several local forums.
00:24 <@dasunt> And one of those forums said this about the forum I'm active on:
00:24 <@dasunt> i finally read the bike love thread on this subject. it's great. they all, like, work together to email the police and everyone, find facebook pages, make an interctive map of the assaults and where they happened. kind of nice in comparison.
00:24 <@dasunt> they aren't really that funny though. serious faces.
00:24 <@dasunt> so basically they are like CSI Miami and we are like Hogan's Heroes. Or maybe they are more like Murder, She Wrote.
00:27 <@opticron> matlock!
00:27 < Mercster> i cant stand it when i see someone on a bike on a road
00:27 -!- m0j0-j0j0 [n=mj0j0@cpe-069-134-098-163.nc.res.rr.com] has quit ["Leaving."]
00:27 < Mercster> i always wanna swerve and hit them
00:28 <@opticron> what I can't stand is the people who have decided that they're going to jog on the road when there's a perfectly good sidewalk right next to them
00:28 <@opticron> the bikes have a right to be there
00:28 <@opticron> the people don't
00:28 < Mercster> find a fuckin' park, is what i say
00:28 < Mercster> this aint europe
00:29 <@mog> heh
00:29 <@mog> find a fuckin' park, is what i say, this aint europe --Mercster
00:30 < Mercster> :)
00:30 <@mog> you are now in my growing fortune file
00:31 < Goat21> I like how these so called "road joggers" claim that sidewalk messes with ankles...and it's better for you to run on the road
00:31 < Mercster> well, listen, the thing is, im in knoxville, there isnt room on the roads for that shit
00:31 < Goat21> concrete is concrete
00:31 < Mercster> some cities have sidewalk for that thing
00:31 < Mercster> we dont here
00:31 < Mercster> so it takes a special kind of asshole to go on a road and bike
00:32 < Mercster> for bigger cities with sidewalks and such, thats one thing
00:32 < Goat21> lol, and the bikers...suit up in their tour-de france gear...
00:32 < Mercster> yeah, right
00:32 < Mercster> take it to a park, man
00:32 < Goat21> i mean...wouldnt you think that more wind resistant  you are, the better you'll train anyway?

00:39 <@dasunt> Mercster: Actually, bikes legally can be on the road.
00:40 < Mercster> lots of things are legal
00:40 <@dasunt> Depending on the speed, it may be safer on the road.
00:41 <@dasunt> In theory, cars should look for something that is at least motorcycle-sized before going through a stop sign.
00:42 <@dasunt> While on the sidewalk, cars don't really expect that there might be something darting out at 15 mph when they through a stop sign.
00:43 < Mercster> if you aint burnin' fossil fuels, im gunning for you
00:43 < Mercster> thats all im sayin
00:43 <@dasunt> And really, pedestrians shouldn't have to deal with something 5x the speed.
00:43 <@dasunt> Mercster: Aye.
00:43 <@dasunt> That reminds me, saw the nicest rant on hybrids.
00:43 <@dasunt> Pointing out that if everyone drove a hybrid, we'd still have to import oil.
00:44 -!- Netsplit farmer.freenode.net <-> irc.freenode.net quits: fie2, @cordless
00:44 <@dasunt> And that a hybrid is no better for the environment than a very fuel efficient car with the same mpg average.  in fact, due to the batteries and additional parts needed, a hybrid is worse for the environment than a conventional vehicle that gets the same milage.
00:45 -!- Netsplit over, joins: fie2, @cordless
00:45 < Mercster> im not worried about the environment. i will agree, however, that we should import as little oil as possible
00:46 < Mercster> for geopolitical reasons
00:46 <@polerin> meh, the geopolitical crap can go shove it, we need to get off of oil because it's stupid in like 60 different ways
00:46 <@polerin> and fuck Ethenol too
00:46 <@dasunt> But what about ADM?
00:46 <@polerin> driving up the price of farmed good
00:46 < Mercster> but when we try to get oil from our own territory, everyone cries about the moose
00:46 < Mercster> the meese
00:47 < Mercster> whatever the fuck
00:47 < Mercster> we have shitloads of oil in alaska, but we cant get it
00:47 <@polerin> Mercster: about the fact we are ruining our entire world, but whatever
00:47  * polerin is going to bed.
00:47 < Mercster> polerin: yeah, read another bedtime story
00:47 < Mercster> a fantasy
00:47 <@dasunt> Mercster: The average American wants to live in a technologically advanced world without being exposed to the infrastructure needed for that world.
00:47 <@dasunt> This explains NIMBY.
00:47 <@polerin> Mercster: better that than living in denial as the sludge hits your front door.
00:48 < Mercster> yeah that wont happen
00:48 < Mercster> k?
00:48 < Mercster> its a scare tactic
00:48 < Mercster> and i aint scared
00:48 < Mercster> al gore is an asshole and global warming is a farce
00:48 <@dasunt> And how people go batshit crazy whenever they propose to make an oil pipeline or new high voltage power line.
00:48 < Mercster> dasunt: noone fucking lives in alaska, and we're still worried about drilling there since its gonna make the earth blow up
00:49 < Mercster> its all a bunch of pseudo-science bullshit
00:49 < Mercster> furry animals, bro, thats what the real concern is
00:49 < Mercster> fuzzy animals
00:49 < Mercster> the cute ones, not pigs, who are super intelligent and we slaughter hundreds of thousands a day
00:49 < Mercster> but pigs arent cute
00:49 < Mercster> so thats ok
00:49 <@dasunt> Of course.
00:50 <@polerin> Mercster: ah take your reactionary bullshit and shove it.  scare tactics that 99% of people who actually know what the fuck they are talking about say "Uh, yeah that's right.  and to be honest, that's conservative"
00:50 < Mercster> polerin: go to bed
00:50 <@dasunt> For the environment, the pigs are probably more dangerous than the Alaskan oil reserves.
00:50 <@polerin> dasunt: yeah fuck the factory farms too
00:50 < Mercster> pigs are filthy ajnimals
00:50 <@polerin> so are cows
00:50 <@polerin> so are chickens
00:50 <@dasunt> Mercster: Not really, they are clean if they have the room.
00:50 < Mercster> cows dont eat other cows
00:50 < Mercster> cows dont live in shit
00:51 <@polerin> Mercster: have you seen the factory farms?
00:51 < Mercster> polerin: just go to bed
00:51 <@dasunt> Mercster: It's just growing a ton of grain to feed them, then housing them in the same area where their shit builds up, and then slaughtering them at the same location is amazingly environmentally unfriendly.
00:51 < Mercster> yer spinnin the same shit that's been spun since decades ago
00:51 < Mercster> noone cares
00:51 < Mercster> go to bed
00:51 <@polerin> oh, wait, you're just judging off of internal bias and whatever you're annoyed at in the current moment!
00:51 <@polerin> :P
00:51 < Mercster> * polerin is going to bed. <-- please Lord
00:51 <@dasunt> But the average American looks at a picture of a cornfield and a picture of a city, and thinks that the corn field is more natural than the city.
00:51 <@dasunt> So thus the amount of food we grow to feed to animals is overlooked.
00:52 < Mercster> everything's natural
00:52 < Mercster> every single fucking thing on this earth is natural
00:52 < Mercster> cuz man is natural
00:52 < Mercster> and we dont create anything
00:52 < Mercster> oil plants are natural
00:52 < Mercster> nuke plants are natural
00:52 < Mercster> plastic is natural
00:52 <@dasunt> Mercster: Heh, I just got into a discussion with someone today about how man is the only animal that actually cares when we wipe another species out.
00:52 < Mercster> anyone who says different is a scare-monger asshole who has daddy issues
00:53 < Mercster> and wants to make everyone else pay for their own fucked up psyches
00:53 < Mercster> you hate humans? kill yourself
00:53 < Mercster> ill pour out liquor for you
00:53 < Mercster> wait, no i wont, ill drink it
00:53 < Mercster> dasuntright
00:54 < Mercster> dasunt: man, you dont see those lions in sub-saharan africa crying over the gazelle, do you?
00:54 < Mercster> fuck no
00:54 < Mercster> they're existing
00:54 < Mercster> they're doing what needs to be done
00:54 < Mercster> only humans like polerin with too much education and too much time on their fucking hands, are willing to sabotage themselves
00:54 < Mercster> wring their hands "OHHHH WE'RE SO EVIL"
00:54 < Mercster> like we dropped out of a fucking alien mothership
00:55 < Mercster> we're some kinda alien threat to the earth
00:55 < Mercster> HAH
00:55 < Mercster> mental midgets
00:56 < Mercster> they wouldnt know their ass from a hole in the ground if schools and cable TV didnt tell them otherwise
00:56 < Mercster> pfft
00:57 < Mercster> the world still turns on its axis, and humans will continue to do what they need to, to survive
00:57 < Mercster> cry elsewhere
00:57 < Mercster> i got no time at all for that bullshit
00:59 <@dasunt> Lions would hunt other species to extinctino if they could.
00:59 < Mercster> sure they would
00:59 < Mercster> they dont give a fuck
01:00 < Mercster> you take a video camera into a beef rendering plant, you've got sissies and women weeping all over the place about how barbaric we are
01:00 < Mercster> a lion tears the fucking head off of a gazelle "oh thats nature"
01:00 < Mercster> like we arent a part of nature
01:01 -!- dasunt [n=dasunt@unaffiliated/dasunt] has quit ["leaving"]
01:02 < Mercster> again, its the twisted mindset of a certain sector of humans who have so much fucking time on their hands (thanks to the industrial revolution, of course) that they believe we're an evil species of alien that has somehow landed on the earth and are now raping it
01:02 < Mercster> now you tell this same sort of person that we're special because we were created by God with a soul, OH BOY!
01:03 < Mercster> "NO! we're just animals!"
01:03 < Mercster> oh yeah?
01:03 < Mercster> then shut the fuck up while i eat my steak
01:03 < Mercster> my bloody-rare steak
01:03 < Mercster> mmmmmm
01:06 < Mercster> ill tell you whats a moral outrage
01:06 < Mercster> TV guide telling me george carlin is on comedy central
01:06 < Mercster> and i flip there, and its ron white
01:06 < Mercster> talk about a fuckin letdown
01:38 < Mercster> ah well, carlin on now, only 30 mins late
01:38 < Mercster> "live and let live, that's my motto...anyone who disagrees, take him outside and shoot the motherfucker!"
01:44 < Mercster> i hope this show has the 'baseball vs. football' contrast bit
01:44 < Mercster> funniest thing ive seen carlin do

02:00 < Mercster> reminds me of something my grandfather used to say
02:00 < Mercster> he used to say "im gonna go upstairs and fuck yer grandmother"
02:05 <@unixfg> Mercster: did I accidentally add someone to my ignore list, or are you talking to yourself?
02:10 < Mercster> let me be completely honest with you
02:10 < Mercster> there are at least 10,472 answers to that question
02:11 < Mercster> approximately 9900 of which will get me kickbanned
02:11 < Mercster> so im gonna let you figure it all out

02:45 <@Evilpig> you think you can come up with 500 things to say that won't get you a kb?  isn't that number a little high for you?
02:47 < Mercster> it's important to have goals
02:58 < Mercster> "in football, the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assult, riddling the defense with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. with short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing his aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line"
02:58 < Mercster> in baseball, the goal is to go home!
02:58 < Mercster> and be safe!
02:58 < Mercster> "i hope ill be safe at home!"
02:59 < Mercster> best standup bit ever

20:20 <@dasunt> Why does every iteration of bulletin board software becomes more preschoolish in feel?
20:21 < whiten0ise> because forums are for kid

20:23 <@dasunt> Probably.
20:23 < Mercster> because preschoolers deserve the right to own a forum
20:25 < Mercster> i maintain we should have stuck with gopher
20:25 < Mercster> no "adding a comment at the bottom"
20:28 < Mercster> mm, i spoke too soon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlog
20:30 < Mercster> heh, WAIS
20:31 < Mercster> see, this coulda been the internet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gophervr.png
20:38 <@dasunt> gophar is awesome.
20:38 <@dasunt> Is phlog a gopher blog?
20:40 < Mercster> i guess
20:40 < Mercster> and software, such as gopherfs, is available that can actually mount a Gopher server as a FUSE resource
20:40 < Mercster> haha
20:40 < Mercster> cheese and crackers, what a waste
20:41 <@tzanger> what? konqueror doesn't have a gopher ioslave
20:41 <@tzanger> I'm shocked and appalled
20:41 < Mercster> yeah chrome cant do gopher:// either
20:41 < Mercster> pretty sickening
20:41 < Mercster> how did this glaring omission happen
20:43 < Mercster> firefox groks gopher, but its just not the same as using a vt102 emulator or some such

21:16 <@sdodson> I thought for a minute this might be a different dagmar, but then I *noticed* _the_ *gratuitous* _use_ of *asterisks* and _underscores_. http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/2436#comment-23496
21:18 <@dasunt> I'm pretty sure "has anyone told you that you look like a certain actress?" is going to be considered a pickup line.
21:18 <@dasunt> But damnit, I can't place who this person looks like.
21:18 < Mercster> that means he's serious
21:19 < Mercster> dasunt: just say "has anyone told you that you look like a certain actress BY THE WAY I DONT WANT TO FUCK YOU"
21:19 < Mercster> you shout the last part
21:25 <@sdodson> Be sure to shout it later while you ARE fucking her.
21:25 < Mercster> thats hot
21:31 < Mercster> In English, www is pronounced by individually pronouncing the name of characters (double-u double-u double-u). Although some technical users pronounce it dub-dub-dub this is not widespread.
21:31 < Mercster> ooooh you liiiiie, muthafucka!
21:31 < Mercster> nobody says dub dub dub
21:31 < Mercster> NOONE
21:34 <@sdodson> i do
21:34 < Mercster> i dont believe you
21:34 <@sdodson> And noone isn't a word.
21:34 < Mercster> if you did, someone would have murdered you by now
21:34 <@sdodson> Mercster: I'm very hip web 3.0
21:35 < Mercster> which would still mean noone says it
21:35 < Mercster> cuz you'd be dead
21:36 <@sdodson> Mercster: I don't say ackles, sequel, or asp. I say A-C-L-s, S-Q-L, A-S-P
21:36 <@sdodson> I do say dub-dub-dub
21:36 < Mercster> yeah i dont say sequel either
21:36 <@sdodson> Because it cuts 30 minutes off of the conversation.
21:37 < Mercster> except when i say mysql, then i think i say sequel
21:37 <@sdodson> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA8z7f7a2Pk
21:37 <@sdodson> Mercster: why?
21:37 < Mercster> it took me at least a decate to say "etcee" instead of "etcetera"
21:37 < Mercster> because im retarded
21:37 < Mercster> i dunno
21:37 <@sdodson> I say etcee and user
21:37 < Mercster> oh you say user
21:37 < Mercster> how novel
21:38 < Mercster> i say "oohzreee"
21:38 <@sdodson> Well, I think a lot of our techs say u-s-r to avoid confusion.
21:38 < Mercster> dumb
21:38 <@sdodson> Some of our customers are fucking stupid.
21:38 <@sdodson> Like seriously, some of them have serious problems navigating a unixy filesystem.
21:39 <@sdodson> I guess I should hush, this could be taken out of context.
21:39 < Mercster> well shouldnt they get someone on the horn that can communicate more effectively
21:39 < Mercster> its just good business
21:40 < Mercster> if i have to spell out "u-s-r" when directing them to /usr/bin or sometihng, id just be like "ok ill send you an email" *click*
21:40 <@sdodson> They do a lot of that. "I just posted an update to the ticket, can you please referesh your view?"
21:41 < Mercster> i also always call / "backslash"
21:41 < Mercster> and \ "forward slash"
21:41 < Mercster> cuz, why not
21:42 < Mercster> if anyone argues with me, i tell them im hebrew
21:42 < Mercster> then accuse them of antisemitism
21:44 < Mercster> and if i get any further lip, curbstomps become involved
21:44  * Mercster shakes his fist violently
21:46 <@sdodson> Mercster: why do you hate everyone?
21:46 <@sdodson> I'm a bit surprised no one has changed my on join channel message.

22:19 < Mercster> sdodson: why does your twitter pic look totally different from your #se2600 pic?
22:19 < Mercster> you lose a shit ton of weight or something?
22:19 < Mercster> or gain it
22:21 <@sdodson> Mercster: fat guy angle shot
22:21 < Mercster> nice work, my friend
22:21 <@sdodson> it's a well known internet phenomana
22:21 < Mercster> you look almost human
22:21 <@sdodson> Though I have lost considerably since the se2600 irc photo
22:21 < Mercster> i know what it looks like in chicks, your manly features confused me
22:22 < Mercster> despite rumors to the contrary, i dont spend all my time looking at fat dudes on the internet
22:22 < Mercster> just, like, a _lot_
22:25 < Mercster> twitter validation? really?
22:25 <@sdodson> no more spambots

22:35 <@dasunt> sdodson: Thanks.
22:38 <@polerin> heh
22:39 <@polerin> that's a mental image I really didn't need.
22:39 < Mercster> hehehehe
22:46 <@sdodson> Anyone know of any blackfriday ps3 deals?
22:46 < Mercster> oh, dude
22:47 < Mercster> sony is selling a 46" $1000 tv and a 120G ps3 for $1000
22:47 < Mercster> dammit
22:47 < Mercster> link scrolled off, in another channel
22:47 < Mercster> i dont give a fuck cuz im poor and i dont want a ps3 anyway, but you made me think of it
22:47 < Mercster> it sounded like a really good deal igf you have $1000 to spend
22:47 <@sdodson> I don't know how much 46" tvs go for.
22:47 <@sdodson> But that'd be the size I want to replace mine with.
22:48 <@sdodson> Anything larger and it'll look lame on my wall.
22:48 <@sdodson> Mercster: who cares, that's what we got amex for son
22:48 < Mercster> the guy who showed it to me said the tv was worth $1000
22:48 < Mercster> so you basically got the ps3 for free
22:48 < Mercster> trying to get link
22:48 < Mercster> hell it probably smacks you in the face if you go to sony.com
22:49 < Mercster> here
22:49 < Mercster> http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/26659/Sony-KDL-46V5100-46-1080p-120Hz-LCD-HDTV---120GB-Playstation-3-1000%3B-Or-With-Sony-BDP-560-Blu-ray-Player-893
22:49 < Mercster> SonyStyle has Sony KDL-46V5100 46" 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV + 120GB Sony Playstation 3 Console for $1000 with free shipping
22:50 < Mercster> i dont know shit about tvs, but supposedly thats a sweet deal
22:51 -!- dasunt [n=dasunt@unaffiliated/dasunt] has quit ["Going home"]
22:57 < Mercster> id buy that, sell the ps3 and buy a 360
22:57 < Mercster> for real gaming power
23:18 <@sdodson> It sucks that a lot of publishers have locked into producing subpar ps3 versions just so that they maintain parity with 360
23:19 < Mercster> i was always a sega fanboy and i hated sony for killing it (not really, but thats what i told myself)
23:19 < Mercster> plus ive had a 360 and it was fun as hell
23:20 < Mercster> i loved XBLA
23:20 < Mercster> i played those little shit $10-$15 games more than i did retail titles
23:20 < Mercster> i think MS should come out with a settop thing that just does XBLA
23:21 < Mercster> but with a disk so you can download plenty, unlike the low-end360 they have now
23:21 < Mercster> take out the dvd drive, just make it a settop thing
23:21 < Mercster> casual gaming device
23:22 < Mercster> it could also still  do all the media streaming and whatnot
23:23 < Mercster> id sit on XBLA texas holdem for hours
23:24 < Mercster> networked games of street fighter 2
23:24 < Mercster> re-released classics like ps1 castlevania
23:25 < Mercster> i thot it was the bees knees
23:26 < Mercster> they could roll it out in hotel rooms, like they used to do with the snes/genesis type deals
23:26 < Mercster> except it wouldnt blow
23:26 < Mercster> sell the settop for $100
23:27 < Mercster> every single one sold _has_ to have a gold membership attached
23:27 < Mercster> still the same smaller scale micropayment games
23:27 < Mercster> have it accept all the same peripherals (wireless controller etc) just take out the dvd drive and probably also scale back the RAM and cpu
23:28 < Mercster> put a decent HD in there to download the XBLA content and netflix or whatever the fuck else they're doing
23:28 < Mercster> it'd sell man
23:29 < Mercster> they'd surely have better margins and better leverage all the XBLA stuff they've developed
23:30 < Mercster> course i guess a lot of their income is licencing on other titles, which they wouldnt get, since yer not going to gamestop and buying a disc
23:30 < Mercster> i dunno
23:30 < Mercster> im just an unfrozen caveman
23:31 < Mercster> your hardware and market decisions confuse and frighten me
