00:00:17 <ehird> I think I will use Dropbear for the standard ssh server and client.
00:00:20 <ehird> http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html
00:09:13 <ehird> hmm
00:09:19 <ehird> What's the opposite of a dependency?
00:09:28 <ehird> i.e., thing-that-depends-on
00:09:34 <ehird> rather than thiing-that-is-depended-on
00:09:45 <ehird> *thing
00:10:00 <ehird> Depender?
00:18:32 <Oranjer> independency?
00:18:32 <Oranjer> ha
00:18:51 <Oranjer> dependee?
00:19:15 <pikhq> ehird: http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/tools.html
00:20:04 <ehird> Yeah, I know; but rabid devotion to olde unixes is not rational. You won't see any simplifying improvements from Heirloom.
00:20:09 <ehird> Nevertheless, it is one option.
00:20:24 <MizardX> depender depends on dependee
00:20:41 <MizardX> though, I don't know if they are real words
00:20:42 <pikhq> http://asm.sourceforge.net/asmutils.html ?
00:20:44 <ehird> MizardX: right, but I want the analogue to dependency :P
00:21:17 <ehird> pikhq: Might as well just use Busybox then; more widely used, just as over-minimal and without the crazy assemblyness.
00:21:18 <ehird> Thanks for reminding me of Heirloom, though.
00:21:20 <ehird> Forgot about it.
00:21:34 <pikhq> Fair enough.
00:21:56 <ehird> pikhq: If you're adventurous, could you see if the programs in `CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot cvs checkout -P src/bin` will compile on Linux? Small download.
00:22:15 <ehird> Makefiles are broken without the surrounding tree; just do `cc -I. *.c -o name` in a directory.
00:22:21 <ehird> Most compile here on OS X; some don't, though.
00:22:29 <ehird> But then, OS X is basically BSD.
00:22:44 <pikhq> ehird: Lemme pull up my i686 vm.
00:22:55 <ehird> Why, what are you using now?
00:22:59 <pikhq> x86_64.
00:23:02 <ehird> Ah.
00:23:17 <ehird> Shouldn't change things, but okay.
00:23:18 <ehird> Heh, their ed doesn't support i
00:23:25 <pikhq> Though, it's *NetBSD*. I'd imagine they're somewhat smart about architectures.
00:23:28 <ehird> Just a
00:23:35 <Oranjer> wait, isn't that which depends a "dependent"?
00:23:44 <ehird> The context is an error like:
00:24:15 <ehird> $ rmpkg important-thing
00:24:15 <ehird> Can't; (word)s are:
00:24:15 <ehird> some-program
00:24:16 <ehird> some-other-program
00:24:16 <ehird> If you're sure, use -f.
00:24:23 <ehird> i.e. can't; things that depend on this are:
00:25:06 <pikhq> So many compile errors...
00:25:20 <ehird> Which program?
00:25:25 <ehird> "ls" should work.
00:25:27 <pikhq> Most of them.
00:25:33 <ehird> Erm, wait.
00:25:34 <ehird> Does ed work?
00:25:45 <ehird> cd ed; cc -I. *.c -o ed
00:25:48 <pikhq> No.
00:25:52 <ehird> Errors?
00:26:04 <pikhq> buf.c:36: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before string constant
00:26:13 <pikhq> buf.c:107: error: ‘MAXINT’ undeclared (first use in this function)
00:26:17 <ehird> #if 0
00:26:17 <ehird> static char *rcsid = "@(#)buf.c,v 1.4 1994/02/01 00:34:35 alm Exp";
00:26:17 <ehird> #else
00:26:17 <ehird> __RCSID("$NetBSD: buf.c,v 1.26 2006/03/17 14:37:14 rumble Exp $");
00:26:18 <ehird> #endif
00:26:23 <pikhq> ... It goes on further.
00:26:23 <ehird> Somehow, I doubt that's the line 36 it's talking about.
00:26:45 <ehird> static const char rcsid[] __attribute__((__unused__)) = "$NetBSD: buf.c,v 1.26 2006/03/17 14:37:14 rumble Exp $";
00:26:56 <ehird> WTF is that error about, then?
00:27:22 <ehird> Also... buf.c doesn't say MAXINT, anywhere.
00:27:52 <pikhq> I'm going to go try it on i686.
00:28:05 <ehird> Oh, you were using the x86_64.
00:28:09 <ehird> ... still doesn't explain it.
00:29:17 <ehird> Incidentally, how's this for initlevels:
00:29:22 <ehird> # kill -QUIT 1
00:31:40 <MizardX> ehird: How about "supports" ?
00:32:01 <ehird> MizardX: Technically correct, but it seems odd — supports is generally used as in "X supports Y"
00:32:04 -!- iamcal has quit.
00:32:11 <ehird> as opposed to "Can't; supports are:"
00:32:16 <ehird> (contrast "Can't; dependencies are:")
00:33:25 -!- adam_d has quit ("Leaving").
00:33:28 <MizardX> "depended on by"
00:33:33 <ehird> Yeah, that works :-P
00:34:59 <FireFly> Hm
00:35:20 <pikhq> It would appears that the problem with NetBSD tools is the macros are hard to hunt down & fetch...
00:35:43 <pikhq> Same issues on i686-pc-linux-gnu, BTW.
00:36:03 <ehird> #ifdef INT_MAX
00:36:04 <ehird> # define LINECHARS INT_MAX/* max chars per line */
00:36:04 <ehird> #else
00:36:04 <ehird> # define LINECHARS MAXINT/* max chars per line */
00:36:04 <ehird> #endif
00:36:09 <ehird> pikhq: I think the issue is just header files.
00:36:16 <ehird> #if defined(sun) || defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__APPLE__)
00:36:16 <ehird> # include <limits.h>
00:36:16 <ehird> #endif
00:36:25 <ehird> pikhq: -D__NetBSD__, wouldya?
00:36:48 <pikhq> ehird: <sys/cdefs.h> is probably also causing issues.
00:37:14 <ehird> Mmf.
00:37:30 <ehird> Such a shame, because these tools are very good... well-maintained, compatible, yet simple.
00:37:54 <pikhq> May be able to get them to work with patching.
00:38:47 <ehird> How?
00:39:12 <ehird> pikhq: Oh, for ed, you need -lcrypt.
00:39:14 <ehird> Just so you know.
00:39:17 <ehird> Oh, and add -DDES.
00:39:25 <ehird> Oops, and -DBACKWARDS
00:39:31 <ehird> (Reading the Makefile)
00:39:48 <ehird> Oh, I don't have an -lcrypt...
00:40:58 <pikhq> Hmm. Remove the sys/cdefs.h and the following info boilerplate, and... You get linker errors from nonexistent functions.
00:41:07 <pikhq> Since BSD libc has things glibc doesn't.
00:41:16 <ehird> Hmm.
00:41:20 <ehird> Got any alternative libcs in that VM?
00:41:25 <ehird> Since I won't be using glibc...
00:41:45 <pikhq> Nothing that will have BSD extensions.
00:42:45 <ehird> What a shame this is.
00:42:59 * ehird downloads the Heirloom Toolchest, to look at the code
00:43:33 <pikhq> Also, I can't get asmutils to build at all. *shakes fist*
00:44:00 <ehird> You know what would be nice? If there was a vi clone that wasn't anally vi-compatible, but didn't have vim's bloat.
00:44:17 <ehird> (I hate systems that use a traditional vi clone as `which vi`, but vim?)
00:45:21 <ehird> pikhq: Oh, btw, this is interesting: http://codingrelic.geekhold.com/2008/11/six-million-dollar-libc.html
00:45:25 <ehird> Android's BSD-licensed, minimal libc
00:45:39 <ehird> Uses Doug Lea's malloc (dlmalloc).
00:45:49 * oerjan tried to take the page seriously and chose Annihilation, fwiw
00:45:58 <pikhq> ehird: Hmm.
00:46:07 <Sgeo> oerjan, I chose Online
00:46:08 <ehird> oerjan: You're suicidal, then.
00:46:47 <ehird> You know, submitting "Annihilation" is just one of many methods of suicide. If you think it's the right option, you're suicidal.
00:47:03 <Sgeo> It's not like you should be afraid of being bored. If you are, set the time limit
00:47:10 <pikhq> ehird: Will work well for non-C++ stuff, I'd imagine.
00:47:23 <ehird> pikhq: I can get the STL from elsewhere.
00:47:35 <oerjan> conditionally suicidal. the condition being that i were a simulation in a computer in an atheist 23th (?) century world
00:47:35 <pikhq> Exceptions.
00:47:36 <Oranjer> who would be afraid of getting bored in either the online or the dream choices?
00:47:48 <Oranjer> everything changes
00:47:56 <ehird> Sgeo: The time limit is for being bored and suffering from akrasia, to be precise (as much as I hate the Less Wrong crowd using that word like it's their baby).
00:47:56 <ehird> No need to do it.
00:47:58 <Oranjer> and in the latter, your memory would fade away eventually
00:48:08 <ehird> Oranjer: Some people think death is a good thing. When pressed they may say that eventual death is a good thing, just not now.
00:48:10 <ehird> They are not rational.
00:48:23 <ehird> But picking Annihilation?
00:48:24 <Oranjer> I agree as to their irrationality
00:48:28 <ehird> That's being suicidal right now.
00:48:40 <Oranjer> I would probably agree
00:48:50 <ehird> The dream choice is scary... you may eventually adjust, and start to tie together the pieces.
00:49:02 <ehird> And once you do, you stop fooling yourself. But you're trapped.
00:49:06 <oerjan> Oranjer: i was wavering on Dream a bit though
00:49:07 <ehird> Cue consciousness claustrophobia.
00:49:18 <ehird> oerjan: so, any rebuttals to the accusation that you're suicidal?
00:49:34 <Oranjer> ehird, have you seen the movie "Vanilla Sky", or the spanish-language movie it is a remake of?
00:49:54 <ehird> I believe it was on TV one time or something. But it's an old idea.
00:49:59 <Oranjer> I know
00:50:11 <oerjan> ehird: depends on your definition of suicidal.
00:50:16 <Oranjer> but your tying it together just reminded me of that
00:50:29 <ehird> oerjan: Well, you had a choice where you could die or not die, and it would be entirely your own choice.
00:50:43 <ehird> And the dying would be a separate action, rather than an inaction or reaction.
00:50:50 <ehird> You chose to die; i.e., you killed yourself. How's that not suicide?
00:50:55 * Sgeo wonders if, in Online, he could program "Dream" for himself
00:51:01 <Sgeo> So I could switch between the two
00:51:15 <ehird> Online is the only open-ended one.
00:51:18 <Oranjer> haha
00:51:19 <Oranjer> yeah
00:51:25 <ehird> Sure, the real dudes will ignore you, but will that be true forever?
00:51:26 <Oranjer> hell, you could maybe create your own body
00:51:32 <ehird> Exactly!
00:51:36 <Oranjer> yay
00:51:36 <oerjan> ehird: it's a suicide in an imagined scenario.
00:51:37 <ehird> Reality is overrated.
00:51:40 <Oranjer> revolt!
00:51:45 <ehird> oerjan: Yes, but you tried to take it seriously, says ye.
00:52:08 <Sgeo> My prefered afterlife would be the one described by Sam Hughes, I think
00:52:20 <oerjan> ehird: i tried to take the _context_ seriously too. my choice was not valid unless i accepted that context.
00:52:48 <ehird> oerjan: So, what? An artificial consciousness is a lesser existence than a real one? Define artificial./
00:52:52 <ehird> *artificial.
00:53:09 <ehird> Silicon-based instead of carbon-based, what's the difference.
00:53:20 <ehird> Sgeo: Too solitary for me.
00:53:39 <Sgeo> Add in computer terminals with chatrooms!
00:53:46 <Oranjer> haha
00:53:48 <Sgeo> And then you could arrange to meet with people
00:54:04 <Sgeo> Deadfacebook.com access, to meet up with all your dead friends
00:54:20 <ehird> http://www.picturesforsadchildren.com/index.php?comicID=294
00:54:34 <ehird> ↑ pretty cool afterlife, if you're not claustrophobic
00:55:00 * Sgeo would get lonely
00:55:11 <Sgeo> And the only way to talk to friends would be to be buried near them :/
00:55:24 <Sgeo> Which really, REALLY, sucks
00:55:42 <Sgeo> Also, what about cremated people. They're dead dead
00:55:55 <ehird> Their ashes wake up!
00:56:05 <ehird> Or, you know, they're dead dead.
00:56:10 <ehird> SO DON'T GET CREMATED
00:56:14 <ehird> Get buried above ground or something
00:56:16 <ehird> "buried"
00:56:26 <oerjan> ehird: it wasn't so much the artificiality as _who_ was running it
00:56:37 <ehird> oerjan: but, e.g. in online, it'd be irrelevant
00:56:42 <ehird> he'd have no control over you any more
00:56:45 <ehird> in fact, in all of them it's irrelevant
00:56:49 <ehird> he relinquishes you
00:56:53 <ehird> you're free
00:56:55 <oerjan> by who, i mean which civilization
00:57:01 <ehird> ah
00:57:03 <ehird> what's wrong with it
00:57:19 <oerjan> it contains no God :D
00:57:33 <Sgeo> I don't think it explicitely says that
00:57:36 <ehird> yes it does, and he wrote that page
00:57:44 <ehird> besides, you _want_ a dictator to exist? why?
00:57:57 <ehird> god is a scary idea, irrespective of its existence
00:58:14 * Sgeo wants Heaven to exist. If that's dependent on God, then I want God to exist
00:58:34 <ehird> Why do you want heaven to exist? It's not a utopia, it's a dictatorship.
00:58:52 <coppro> The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive
00:58:58 <ehird> Exactly
00:59:02 <ehird> but I could not be happy in a dictatorship
00:59:14 <ehird> If you just mean a blissful place, well, what a copout, we can perfectly hypothesise that without god, we could create it
00:59:27 <Oranjer> I agree
00:59:28 <ehird> Going "oh, but we need god to make it" is just laziness.
00:59:39 <ehird> Or learned helplessness, whatever.
01:00:05 <Oranjer> I also wish to Immanentize the eschaton
01:00:30 <ehird> Funny, I want to stop people using that phrase even though I've never seen it used before.
01:00:56 <oerjan> i vaguely recall seeing it, or something like it
01:01:04 <Sgeo> ehird, a blissful place for dead people
01:01:06 <ehird> I googled it.
01:01:18 <ehird> Sgeo: I see. Why dead people?
01:01:21 <Sgeo> Where we can learn whatever we want, interact with whoever we want, if they want to interact with us
01:01:24 <ehird> They're not dead, anyway.
01:01:33 <ehird> An afterlife merely redefines "death".
01:01:40 <ehird> It's not an afterlife, it's just life, stage 2.
01:01:57 <ehird> So, to rephrase, you want to go into the next stage of life, which is an eternal utopia, i.e. no death.
01:02:11 <Sgeo> Yes
01:02:16 <ehird> We can see that this idea clearly does not require god, and is something that, theoretically, we can do.
01:02:33 <ehird> The only theoretical barrier is entropy, and we'd have a few billion years to work that out.
01:02:48 <ehird> So, basically, you don't really want an "afterlife"; that's a misnomer, and it doesn't require a god or death.
01:03:06 <Sgeo> ehird, but it excludes those who have already died, before this human-made afterlife was built
01:03:07 <oerjan> hm...
01:03:29 <Oranjer> :O
01:03:31 -!- ais523 has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)).
01:03:56 <ehird> Sgeo: If they could possibly partake in it, they are not dead.
01:04:11 <ehird> You don't seem to understand: dead people don't exist. If there is an afterlife, then "death" isn't.
01:04:55 <Sgeo> In my previous statement, by "dead", I meant "dead according to people who are no longer alive in the sense that we currently understand"
01:05:02 <Oranjer> uh-huh
01:05:07 <Sgeo> Or some other definition that should be um, understandable
01:06:12 <ehird> Meh. Entertaining such a concept not only goes against Occam's razor and the scientific method, it diverts attention away from "we need to stop people dying".
01:07:45 <MizardX> It's ok to die. In fact, everybody should die. *Presses bu...* Aw... it broke!

02:06:48 <ehird> test
02:06:58 <oerjan> hii there
02:07:01 <Kalagar> Hi.
02:07:09 <Oranjer1> hello
02:07:46 <ehiird> Quite so.
02:08:14 <oerjan> and how!
02:08:14 <ehiird> <CTCP>ACTION tests
02:08:22 * ehird tests
02:08:35 * oerjan toasts
02:08:46 <ehiird> that show up as "* ehiird test" for anyone else? (the ehiird one)
02:09:00 <oerjan> nope
02:09:04 <oerjan> missing an s
02:09:05 <Oranjer1> no
02:09:10 * Kalagar scoffs
02:09:18 <Oranjer1> I see it as <CTCP>ACTION tests
02:09:33 * ehiird tests again
02:09:38 <ehiird> yay!
02:09:54 <oerjan> ehiird: i saw * ehiird .* both times, though :P
02:10:07 -!- Oranjer has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)).
02:10:18 <ehiird> Even for the * ehird tests one?
02:10:23 <ehiird> YOU ARE A HALLUCINATORY MAN, OERJAN
02:10:33 <oerjan> no, that was not one of them
02:10:44 <ehiird> So, anyway, I'm talking via the filesystem-based IRC client ii! And vim with some mappings to send.
02:10:49 <oerjan> both implies 2, you know.
02:11:04 <ehiird> It's quite pleasant, although I could do with a tiling window manager to avoid these big terminal windows.
02:11:32 <ehiird> Also, it displays actions as <name> (inverted .)ACTION foo(inverted .), so I should probably use sed to mangle them into something nicer.
02:12:13 <ehiird> My bindings: we appends to irc.freenode.net/#esoteric/in then does dd (erase line, non-vimites). In insert mode, /me expands to ^AACTION^A<left cursor>.
02:12:25 <ehiird> Specifically, <C-v><C-a>ACTION<C-v><C-a>OD
02:12:41 <ehiird> Erm. That character before OD is escape (^[).
02:12:49 <Oranjer1> uh-huh
02:13:03 <ehiird> So, when I type /me, it actually expands in front of my eyes. :P
02:13:18 <coppro> ehiird: fuse?
02:13:26 <ehiird> I should make it trigger on /me<space>, probably.
02:13:34 <ehiird> coppro: Nope. Just good old regular files. Put it in tmpfs if you want.
02:13:40 <ehiird> I think it doubles up as a logger this way.
02:14:08 <coppro> ehiird: oh, so it's just a file-monitoring system? lame
02:14:17 <ehiird> It's not lame, it's usable.
02:14:46 <ehiird> I should probably have another sed script that does s/ehird/ehird\007/, but eh.
02:15:01 <ehiird> (And some provisions for not doing that to my own messages; easy enough.)
02:15:22 * ehiird thinks this is actually pretty usable
02:16:33 <pikhq> ehird: No luck.
02:16:39 -!- Oranjer1 has changed nick to Oranjer.
02:16:44 <ehiird> With what?
02:16:53 * coppro should make a fuse client
02:17:16 <ehiird> coppro: This has the marked advantage that your logs ARE the IRC window.
02:17:26 <pikhq> NetBSD coreutils. Or asmutils, for that matter.
02:17:29 <ehiird> Physical files, bitch! We need a revolution in non-virtual filesystems. :P
02:17:36 <ehiird> pikhq: Aw.
02:17:48 <ehiird> Argh, this is ridiculously comfortable even in its barebones state.
02:17:50 -!- ehird has quit.
02:18:07 <Sgeo> "If you want to know more, you can take the Online option for your afterlife, and you will have all the info you can possibly want about the real world."
02:18:08 <ehiird> Goodbye, Colloquy!
02:18:11 <Sgeo> I think that biases things
02:18:19 <ehiird> No, it doesn't.
02:18:34 <Sgeo> It started me thinking "Online" before I ever saw the choices
02:18:47 <ehiird> Because you're a futurist immortalist, probably.
02:19:03 <ehiird> The fact that it seems obvious is b asically just an indicator of your rationality.

02:19:11 <coppro> ehiird: fuse would allow creative things like every user having access
02:19:25 <ehiird> coppro: Elaborate. Isn't that just a+w?
02:19:48 <coppro> ehiird: No. Fuse allows you to discriminate on a per-user basis
02:19:51 <ehiird> Woo! I love this client!
02:19:56 <ehiird> coppro: So what?
02:20:06 <coppro> so you could make it so that it maintains multiple connections; one per user accessing it
02:20:18 <ehiird> This is simpler, works as a logger, and is easier to set up. Woo physical files!
02:20:24 <ehiird> coppro: That's called "multiple ii processes".
02:20:38 <coppro> ehiird: ah, but you can't use the same directory, can you?
02:20:58 <ehiird> No, which is good because they're different things...
02:21:04 <coppro> (I assume you've picked the sane implementation of having a directory for the server, and a file per channel
02:21:12 <ehiird> Filesystem = namespace = disambiguator.
02:21:17 <ehiird> No.
02:21:34 <ehiird> server/channel/{in,out}. Also server/{in,out} and server/nick/{in,out}.
02:21:39 <ehiird> ii isn't mine, btw. It's by the suckless folks.
02:22:19 <ehiird> in/out is better because you can use tail and editors and shit without filtering, plus it's less magical.
02:22:39 <coppro> oh
02:22:42 <coppro> it's not by you

03:53:48 <oerjan> yes, but (1) why did you echo it (2) are you this lagged?
03:53:55 <coppro> ehird: ah, I see. Neat
03:54:07 <ehird> I echoed it because I copied-and-pasted what I said to him, thinking he was here.
03:54:09 <oerjan> ok you are this lagged
03:54:16 <ehird> I am not lagged.
03:54:18 <oerjan> oh
03:54:47 <ehird> coppro: Of course, I don't think you can get file change notifications over SFTP, and doing "tail -f" will be hard...
03:56:15 <ehird> Still, it's cute. :)
03:56:44 <coppro> ehird: use an FTP fuse module :P
03:57:02 <ehird> Yes, but wouldn't "tail -f" on that consist of bombarding the FTP server? :-P

05:41:08 <ehiird> Do you know it now?

05:42:01 <ehiird> (or did you mean, now you know the name)
05:42:30 <Oranjer> I now know the..name?
05:43:20 <Asztal> ehiird: I know it to some extent, but for some unfathomable reason¹ I haven't had much excuse to use it

05:43:22 <ehiird> "It's blah. Know it now?"

05:43:22 <ehiird> Contrived, admittedly, but your confusion previously threw me off; if you knew Hungarian, surely you wouldn't be confused, as you'd see that Asztal means table.

05:45:24 <ehiird> Oh.
05:45:31 <ehiird> Also, I'm pretty sure... Hungarians use it.
05:45:35 <Oranjer> ha!
05:45:35 <ehiird> Just sayin'
05:48:14 <ehiird> [Asztal sat silently, stunned at this revelation.]
05:48:32 <Oranjer> :O
05:48:51 <Asztal> WTF is a Hungarian?
05:49:14 <ehiird> I'm just going to assume (hope beyond hope) that that was a joke.
05:49:52 <Oranjer> haha
05:52:14 <ehiird> Please confirm it, Asztal, or I fear I wil not be able to sleep! :P
05:52:20 <Oranjer> haha
05:52:24 <ehiird> *will
05:53:49 <Asztal> You sleep?
05:54:31 <ehiird> I wish I didn't have to, and I'm considering Uberman. But yes, I do in fact sleep. And I have to be up at like 9-10.
05:54:39 <Asztal> I can confirm that I know what a Hungarian is, though.
05:54:52 <ehiird> Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ^_________________________^
05:54:53 <coppro> I would try Uberma if I didn't have a schedule to follow
05:55:01 <coppro> that's too happy
05:55:11 <coppro> and that smilie is a bit too anime
05:55:28 <Asztal> I also have to be up around that time... but I can't sleep because I just made GHC panic on my code :(
05:55:32 <ehiird> coppro: try Tesla. It was invented as a more hardcore Uberman ... that fits in with schooling. http://tesser.org/sleep/teslapattern/
05:55:58 <ehiird> "Use only after a period of Uberman. Do not use while pregnant. No warranty. Your mileage will vary. Please don't sue us."
05:59:20 <ehiird> Anyway, I'm reluctant to try the hardcore polyphasic schedules (Uberman, Dymaxion, Tesla) because they haven't really been studied and I'm still developing... but then again, they must beat my fucked-up monophasic schedule.
05:59:50 <coppro> yeah, mine's pretty messed up
06:00:00 <coppro> I've been thinking of trying to switch to a diphasic schedule
06:00:05 <Oranjer> :O
06:00:07 <ehiird> Biphasic, you mean?
06:00:11 <coppro> whatever
06:00:14 <ehiird> i.e. siesta nap.
06:00:15 <coppro> a couple hours in the morning, a couple in the evening
06:00:26 <ehiird> That is not known to work.
06:00:52 <ehiird> A long (like 5-6 hours) night sleep and a midday nap is "natural", though.
06:01:19 <ehiird> I wouldn't recommend what you said, though. I don't think it would work.
06:01:27 <coppro> why not?
06:01:37 <coppro> based on my experiences, I think it would
06:01:44 <ehiird> For instance http://www.puredoxyk.com/index.php/2006/10/05/charts-of-types-of-polyphasic-schedules/ says "biphasic (note: feasibility under dispute, though "traditional biphasic", which involves one long sleep and one long "siesta" nap, is well known to work and be beneficial.)"
06:01:53 <ehiird> and matches your description (2 sleeps of 2-4 hours each)
06:02:10 <ehiird> Puredoxyk named and pioneered the Uberman schedule, so she's a credible source.
06:02:13 -!- Oranjer has left (?).
06:02:17 <ehiird> And that articcle may be circa 2006, but it's still worth considering.
06:02:20 <ehiird> *article
06:02:28 <ehiird> I've certainly never heard of anyone doing such a schedule.
06:03:11 <coppro> I think it would be closer to your siesta nap schedule you described
06:03:27 <ehiird> Siestas have to be done at midday; it's what the circadian rhythm does.
06:03:36 <ehiird> It's why you're a little sleepy at midday.
06:03:44 <ehiird> (when doing normal monophasic)
06:03:56 <coppro> see, that's where mine would differ
06:04:09 <coppro> it would be about 2-7 am and then maybe 4-7 pm
06:04:20 <coppro> and then I'd see if I could shrink it
06:04:23 <ehiird> Yes, the problem is that you can't just make shit up and expect your body to be happy.
06:04:42 <coppro> ehiird: this is based on my experiences when I ran my monophasic schedule into the ground
06:04:52 <ehiird> With a really-hardcore, who-the-fuck-knows-how-it-works schedule like Uberman, your body adjusts because otherwise it's gonna die.
06:04:58 <ehiird> Otherwise? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Biological_clock_human.PNG
06:05:05 <ehiird> You are its bitch; design around it.
06:05:16 <ehiird> Note the total absensce of anything around noon. That's why siestas work.
06:05:25 <coppro> I ended up sleeping like that for about a day, and it felt great; not sure about the long-term effects
06:05:47 <ehiird> Basing your theory on a day? Yeah, not gonna work. Too many variables from the previous day.
06:06:10 <coppro> ehiird: it felt like it would work
06:06:24 <coppro> ehiird: you're right that I can't know for sure
06:06:26 * ehiird bashes head against a brick wall
06:06:37 <ehiird> You slept one way for one day while you were self-admittedly on a fucked up schedule.
06:06:56 <ehiird> Basing on the fact that it "felt like it would work", and going against the circadian rhythm, you think you should adopt it.
06:07:00 <ehiird> Come on, that's just stupid.
06:07:23 <coppro> ehiird: people are irrational creatures
06:07:29 <coppro> it's a fact of how our brains work
06:07:55 <ehiird> ...did you just defend your proposed adoption by admitting it's irrational?
06:08:10 <ehiird> Yes, at the lower levels we are rational, however if you're reasoning about it irrationality is your fault.
06:08:14 <ehiird> *we are irrational
06:10:24 <coppro> ehiird: no. I'm trying to defend myself in a way that will cause you to realize that it's the sort of feeling that says
06:10:32 <coppro> "I'm right about this"
06:11:13 <ehiird> You are an idiot if you seriously believe in such feelings and ignore all rational argument. Delusional in the highest order.
06:11:48 <ehiird> Those "feelings" are worth nothing; believing them without any other input is ridiculous enough, believing them when rational counterargument is presented is simply insane.
06:15:13 <coppro> ehiird: I'd believe you in normal circumstances, but when it has to do with my own body, I trust my body to give me the feelings that allow me to make the best choice
06:15:23 * ehiird facepalms
06:15:48 -!- Sgeo has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).
06:15:49 <coppro> also, there is no rational counterargument
06:15:58 <ehiird> I knew there were people this delusional, but I didn't know that the kind of crowd #esoteric attracts included them.
06:16:01 <ehiird> coppro: what
06:16:07 <ehiird> how on earth is there no rational counterargument
06:16:23 <ehiird> because your body's TOTALLY-ZOMG-RIGHT feelings are the very mediator of the fabric of truth?
06:17:45 <pikhq> coppro: Science FTW.
06:17:51 <coppro> ehiird: your argument consists of two things: #1 is the circadian cycle. #2 is that there is no record of anyone doing this before. The first is already demonstrably mutable, but your assertion that the hardcore cycles work by forcing your body to adapt is mere speculation
06:18:05 <ehiird> SCIENCE? There is no rational counterargument, pikhq.
06:18:05 <ehiird> He has a FEELING
06:18:22 <ehiird> coppro: It's mere speculation backed up by the fact that, you know, otherwise they wouldn't have the same effects and would fail horribly
06:18:45 <coppro> The second is a more plausible counterargument, however, it is not a proof
06:18:54 <ehiird> And the effects experienced while adjustment, and the commentary on them by adjusters, universally reflects the body going "ok, this isn't gonna end any time soon; and i'm dying, so, better adjust"
06:18:55 <pikhq> A couple hours in the morning, a couple in the evening? I highly doubt that that'd work.
06:18:59 <coppro> ehiird: trust me. I'm very good at pretending that speculation is fact
06:19:05 <ehiird> coppro: Guess what? Burden of proof, bitch!
06:19:07 <pikhq> However, if you really think that it would work, I encourage you *to try it*.]
06:19:13 <ehiird> Yeah, my counteragrument isn't a PROOF.
06:19:22 <ehiird> But you don't even have ANY evidence.
06:19:24 <pikhq> Let us know how it works -- the results should be interesting regardless of whether or not it works.
06:19:26 <ehiird> -- and no, your "feeling" does not even count as speculattion.
06:19:30 <ehiird> *speculation
06:19:52 <ehiird> Otherwise I'd be going around trying to disprove every god because its followers all have feelings that it's true, oh so strong feelings at that, stronger than whatever feeling you had.
06:20:00 <coppro> No, it wasn't just a hunch.
06:20:14 <ehiird> True, it was a MYSTIC INTERLINKED-CONSCIOUSNESS WAVELENGTH FEELING.
06:20:18 <coppro> lol
06:20:32 <coppro> ehiird, the boy who doesn't follow his feelings
06:20:43 <ehiird> ............
06:20:56 <coppro> "Oh dear, I appear to be extremely ill to the stomach today. Oh well, up and to school!"
06:21:07 <ehiird> you just managed to accuse not ignoring rationality in the face of "feelings" as a bad, ridiculous thing
06:21:14 <ehiird> are you religious, coppro?
06:21:19 <ehiird> because you're certainly delusional enough.
06:22:08 <coppro> ehiird: would you like me to flame you back?
06:22:29 <ehiird> no, it would almost certainly have no connection to reality as clearly your thought methodology doesn't.
06:23:12 <coppro> ehiird: Given that was another flame, I will take it as an invitation to respond, particularly in light of the number of times you've flamed me when we've disagreed. Even when I was right.
06:23:49 <ehiird> congrats, you also managed to paint me as someone orchestrating a campaign of flames against your beautiful rightness
06:24:02 <coppro> ehiird: I never said I was right all the time.
06:24:16 <ehiird> you're crazy, and i mean this in a very literal, non-insulting way.
06:24:40 <ehiird> i do like how apparently i can't state facts about your thought methodology without them being flames, though.
06:24:54 <ehiird> crime scene, do not cross, all arguments invalid
06:26:49 <coppro> You are an immature child who pretends to be all-knowing but isn't, and you hide your ignorance by demeaning other people when you disagree with them. You hide behind your ability to ignore any issues that you don't understand, and use insults to cover this fact up. You use insults to cover up for your inability to understand and properly refute the argument presented against you. Then, when...
06:26:50 <coppro> ...you do find an area of knowledge in which you are more knowledgeable than the other party, you capitalize on it, further deriding your opponent for not knowing whatever random fact it is you happen to know.
06:28:40 <ehiird> like so many other things you have said in the past minutes, that would be an excellent statement if only it had any connection to reality; for instance, your mind has completely painted an illusory sense of all-knowing on me.
06:28:55 <ehiird> i would rebut it, but it is hard to rebut something which is based on premises that are simply false.
06:29:57 <ehiird> also, by deriding do you mean using in argument? because yeah. i do use facts i know to rebut other things. shocking. i'm such a horrible child. call the presses
06:30:27 <ehiird> i would also like to note that you're a hypocrite; noting that i am indeed not an adult -- i.e., I am a child -- is merely ad hominem
06:31:03 <ehiird> i am a minor and so are you. i'm also over the age of 13, so there's no boundary between us age-wise. so even your ad hominem fails horribly
06:32:25 <ehiird> in conclusion, you've often demonstrated that you have some kind of problem with me and view me as a sort of ad hominem generator that never makes any real arguments, and so this is nothing new. it is also completely imagined, and you would do well to try and remove from your mind this crazy delusional caricature of me.

10:56:08 <AnMaster> hi ais523
10:56:18 <ais523> hi
10:58:22 <AnMaster> /*** end of main.c ***/
10:58:22 <AnMaster> hm
10:58:30 <AnMaster> what is the point of that
10:59:40 <ais523> so that you can cat all the files together and send it in an email and it's clear which is which
11:00:22 -!- kar8nga has quit (Remote closed the connection).
11:00:33 <AnMaster> ais523, that would only make sense if every file had that
11:00:39 <AnMaster> which is not the case
11:00:47 <AnMaster> just two out of around 20 or so
11:00:48 <ais523> oh, where I've seen that, every file /did/ have that
11:01:48 <AnMaster> ais523, plus catting them together would be a bit strange. Oh and it wouldn't be very useful since there are both server/main.c and client/main.c (only the former has such a comment at the end btw)
11:02:07 <AnMaster> and yeah it would be an insane way to distribute a program
11:02:25 <ais523> This is what's wrong with Python. And //-based comments.
11:02:34 <ais523> because you can't rely on the lines not to wrap
11:02:39 <AnMaster> heh
11:02:44 <ais523> nor the indentation to be preserved
11:02:50 <AnMaster> ais523, wrapping in the middle of a C string would cause issues too.
11:03:08 <ais523> that's what the "a" "b" syntax is for
11:03:12 <ais523> or backslash-newline, fwiw
11:03:30 <augur> interesting fact: american sign language has two mechanisms for indicating negation, one of which can actually span the whole length of the negated object
11:03:53 <AnMaster> btw wc -l claims a total of 138250 lines for all *.c and *.h
11:04:08 <AnMaster> so, yeah that way to distribute it would be rather awkward.
11:04:24 <ais523> yep, uuencoded gzip works better when it's about that long
11:04:42 <ais523> but some purists apparently insist that things like Usenet distributions are human-readable
11:06:10 <AnMaster> ais523, what about that yencode or whatever it was called
11:06:19 <AnMaster> pretty sure I seen it somewhere on usenet
11:06:30 <ais523> AnMaster: that's for sharing binaries, I think, rather than source
11:06:37 <AnMaster> ais523, hm possibly
11:06:48 <ais523> and it's banned by most newsgroups other than the alt.binaries hierarchy
11:07:25 <AnMaster> ais523, was ages ago I last saw such a file, don't remember where
11:09:32 <fizzie> They call the encoding "yEnc", though I think the common tools were yencode/ydecode.

11:11:42 <AnMaster> interesting

21:20:17 <oklopol> AnMaster: what's computation in swedish
21:20:28 <AnMaster> oklopol, in what sense
21:22:50 <oklopol> in the mathematical sense i guess
21:23:10 <Oranjer> still
21:26:21 <MizardX> computation = beräkning
21:26:51 <Oranjer> cool!
21:27:04 <MizardX> compute/calculate = räkna
21:27:29 <Oranjer> what does the "be" at the beginning of beräkning add to the meaning?
21:27:30 <AnMaster> yeah
21:27:40 <Oranjer> like, specifically?
21:27:41 <AnMaster> kalkylering
21:27:48 <AnMaster> Oranjer, eh?
21:27:53 <AnMaster> not sure
21:28:14 <Oranjer> the process of turning räkna into beräkning
21:28:35 <Oranjer> what does the be- -(~a)ing add?
21:28:37 <AnMaster> it's like: what does the "co" at the start of "computation" mean
21:28:40 <AnMaster> afaik
21:28:43 <Oranjer> oh, ha
21:28:48 <AnMaster> Oranjer, or maybe not
21:29:17 <Oranjer> well, com-pute-ate-tion, I think?
21:29:24 <Oranjer> what of beräkning?
21:29:37 <AnMaster> (computation: co-mputation, mputation being the act of doing it without co)
21:29:44 <Oranjer> ha!
21:29:49 <MizardX> be-räk-ning
21:29:51 <Oranjer> naughty naughty
21:29:56 <Oranjer> oh, MizardX?
21:29:56 <AnMaster> MizardX, no way
21:30:10 <Oranjer> what does the be- do?
21:30:27 <AnMaster> räk(a) = related to shrip (or is it prawn? I always mix them up in English)
21:30:46 <MizardX> "räk" from "räkna"
21:30:53 <AnMaster> MizardX, well yeah
21:31:01 <AnMaster> ning is making a noun of it in there
21:31:09 <Oranjer> okay
21:31:13 <Oranjer> the be-?
21:31:19 <MizardX> I'm not really sure
21:31:36 <Oranjer> also, AnMaster, it's shrimp and prawns
21:31:38 <oklopol> MizardX: oh, i thought beräkning would be more like counting.
21:31:53 <Oranjer> very well, I shall ask google
21:31:55 <AnMaster> Oranjer, what is?
21:32:19 <AnMaster> oklopol, no. definitely not
21:32:22 <Oranjer> <AnMaster> räk(a) = related to shrip (or is it prawn? I always mix them up in English)
21:32:30 <Oranjer> *shrip --> shrimp
21:32:33 <MizardX> räkning = counting (v); bill (n)
21:32:33 <AnMaster> Oranjer, it was a Swedish joke
21:32:38 <Oranjer> oh, okay
21:32:39 <oklopol> hmm
21:32:41 <oklopol> right
21:32:42 <Oranjer> :?
21:32:46 <AnMaster> about räka == one of those "from sea but not fish thingies"
21:32:54 <Oranjer> ahhh
21:35:32 <MizardX> "räkna" = calculate/count (verb). "beräkna" = to do a calculation (verb). "beräkning" = act of doing a calculation (noun)
21:35:48 <Oranjer> ah, thanks!
21:36:16 <MizardX> Still not sure what "be-" adds to the meaning...
21:36:26 <Oranjer> I am looking that up
21:37:12 <Oranjer> http://www.svenskaakademien.se/web/Ordlista.aspx
21:37:15 <Oranjer> I tried searching that
21:37:29 <Oranjer> first for beräkning
21:37:32 <Oranjer> then for be-
21:37:56 <AnMaster> Oranjer, that is word *list*
21:38:01 <Oranjer> I know
21:38:38 <Oranjer> but if someone who knew swedish read the "be-" words, they may be able to see a pattern? I dunno?
21:40:28 <AnMaster> mhm
21:40:28 <AnMaster> Oranjer, why do you care so much?
21:40:48 <Oranjer> Why wouldn't I care?
21:41:39 -!- FireFly has joined.
21:47:47 <Oranjer> well, apparently "befattning" means "post" and "fattning" means "temper"
21:47:47 <Oranjer> what
21:48:22 <AnMaster> Oranjer, or "grip"
21:48:31 <Oranjer> oh?
21:48:36 <Oranjer> huh
21:48:41 <AnMaster> oh and "beskriva" == "describe", "skriva" == "write"
21:48:48 <Oranjer> ah!
21:48:53 <AnMaster> what?
21:48:57 <Oranjer> describe, scribe
21:48:57 <AnMaster> I can't see any logic
21:49:03 <Oranjer> scribe = write
21:49:38 <Oranjer> I believe it must mean "this would be the object of this verb"
21:49:48 <Oranjer> beräkning
21:49:53 <Oranjer> "that which is calculated"
21:50:10 <Oranjer> oh, wait
21:50:13 <MizardX> but the issue was "räkna" <-> "beräkna" (both verbs)
21:50:25 <Oranjer> beräkna -- "that which is calculated"
21:50:30 <AnMaster> no
21:50:35 <Oranjer> no?
21:50:37 <AnMaster> "to calculate"
21:50:42 <Oranjer> hmm
21:50:44 <AnMaster> while "räkna" would be "to count"
21:50:47 <Oranjer> ah-ha!
21:50:49 <AnMaster> not exactly but similar
21:51:03 <Oranjer> hmmm
21:51:15 <Oranjer> also, I shall repost what MizardX wrote
21:51:23 <Oranjer> for my own convenience
21:51:25 <AnMaster> err
21:51:28 <AnMaster> that is spam
21:51:31 <AnMaster> just use scrollback
21:51:37 <Oranjer> scrollback?
21:51:51 <AnMaster> ...
21:51:53 <Oranjer> every time I have to copy the ä?
21:51:56 <AnMaster> oh that
21:52:00 <Oranjer> exactly
21:52:08 <AnMaster> Oranjer, fix your keyboard?
21:52:13 <Oranjer> heh
21:52:32 <Oranjer> I can't do that, we have yet to implement my modifying keyboard idea
21:56:40 <AnMaster> Oranjer, eh?
21:56:51 <AnMaster> just change layout
21:56:56 <Oranjer> ummm
21:57:03 <Oranjer> I...can't do that?
21:57:50 <MizardX> Somehow "be-" strengthens the verb, giving it a wider or more intense meaning. räkna (count) -> beräkna (calculate); sitta (sit) -> besitta (posess, occupy)

22:27:29 <AnMaster> eh?
22:28:02 <Oranjer> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Law
22:28:16 <AnMaster> Oranjer, too busy to read atm. One line summary of both of them
22:28:22 <Oranjer> oh, okay
22:28:25 <AnMaster> (one line each=
22:28:27 <AnMaster> s/=/)/
22:28:34 <Oranjer> Consensus decision-making is a group decision making process that not only seeks the agreement of most participants, but also the resolution or mitigation of minority objections.
22:28:54 <Oranjer> ...organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.
22:29:00 <Oranjer> that's Conway's Law
22:29:07 <AnMaster> the former sounds like the classical swedish model. Less so these days
22:29:13 <Oranjer> heh
22:29:33 <Oranjer> well, Consensus Decision Making has each member having the power of veto
22:30:21 <AnMaster> ah that differs
22:30:34 <Oranjer> aye
22:30:42 <Oranjer> there's a handy diagram
22:30:51 <AnMaster> still, traditionally it has been a lot of compromising to make sure no one is completely outraged
22:31:09 <Oranjer> you mean the Swedish Model?
22:31:12 <AnMaster> yeah
22:31:18 <AnMaster> that kind of stuff
22:31:20 <Oranjer> http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/images/consensus.jpg
22:31:45 <Oranjer> well, Compromises in Consensus Decision Making would (hopefully) be least likely outcome

22:33:01 <AnMaster> how do you know?
22:33:20 <MizardX> It is small, but not unreadable.
22:33:32 <Oranjer> because it is at the maximum size, and that is the size it is presented as

22:34:35 <Oranjer> yes
22:34:35 <AnMaster> Oranjer, the conway thing. Expand on that please
22:35:28 <Oranjer> basically, the quality and quantity of communication between any departments/members of a company/team will almost certainly be reflected in the system that that company/team makes
22:35:41 <Oranjer> as in, if a team is working on designing a car
22:36:01 <AnMaster> mhm?
22:36:08 <AnMaster> what then
22:36:31 <Oranjer> as in, if two team members have difficulty communicating, then the product they make will reflect such miscommunication
22:36:54 <AnMaster> Oranjer, mhm. Depends on how interconnected the parts they are working on are
22:37:01 <Oranjer> exactly
22:37:18 <AnMaster> lets say, working on the fans in the car and the radio installation?
22:37:26 <Oranjer> the structure of a system/product will almost certainly reflect the structure of its creator's organization
22:37:32 <Oranjer> ha, exactly!
22:37:39 <AnMaster> where the fans I mean the engine fan
22:37:48 <Oranjer> of course
22:37:58 <AnMaster> rather unrelated
22:38:11 <AnMaster> if they dislike each other it probably won't affect stuff
22:38:16 <Oranjer> ha
22:38:24 <AnMaster> while if it was two related systems, yeah, could lead to issues
22:38:30 <Oranjer> exactly
22:38:39 <AnMaster> and there are no good managers
22:38:42 <AnMaster> we all know that
22:38:46 <AnMaster> so no help from there either
22:38:51 <Oranjer> heh
22:39:01 <Oranjer> well, that's precisely my point
22:39:12 <AnMaster> Oranjer, it seems rather obvious...
22:39:24 <AnMaster> I fail to see why it even has a specific name
22:39:28 <Oranjer> that if Conway's Law is a good indicator of a product's structure, then we should change the organization
22:39:38 <Oranjer> well, AnMaster, it's not obvious to all
22:39:43 <AnMaster> Oranjer, oh?
22:39:55 <Oranjer> more importantly, of course it'll be obvious to you, once I explain it to you
22:40:18 <Oranjer> Holmes always found that if he explained how he got to a conclusion, everyone would say "oh, that's so obvious!"
22:40:27 <Oranjer> *Sherlock Holmes, of course
22:40:35 <AnMaster> Oranjer, it seems (to me) obvious that people who can communicate better, and are working on a project will have less problems than people who *can't*
22:40:44 <AnMaster> which seems to be all that law says
22:41:01 <Oranjer> not only people, but entire departments
22:41:16 <Oranjer> it's not only communication, though
22:41:19 <Oranjer> it's the structure itself
22:41:54 <Oranjer> if you make two separate departments--air conditioning, and heating--you'd see such a distinction evident in the resulting product
22:42:27 * AnMaster wonders why ls -a ~ lists several hundred files that match /\.serverauth\.[0-9]+/
22:42:34 <Oranjer> what??
22:42:38 <AnMaster> some from recently, some from 2006
22:42:49 <AnMaster> and everywhere in between
22:42:51 <Oranjer> what!?!?
22:43:04 <AnMaster> ~/.serverauth.6481: X11 Xauthority data
22:43:05 <AnMaster> heh
22:43:10 <AnMaster> I think I know what it is
22:43:15 <AnMaster> odd thing that they were left around
22:43:25 <AnMaster> rather than removed when I quit X
22:43:40 * AnMaster loves file(1)
22:43:56 <Oranjer> uh-huh
22:44:00 <Oranjer> anyway, I must eat
22:44:01 <Oranjer> see ya
22:44:03 <AnMaster> Oranjer, night
22:44:07 * AnMaster goes to sleep
22:44:11 <Oranjer> aww
22:44:12 <Oranjer> okay
22:44:42 <Oranjer> see ya tomorrow
22:47:52 <MizardX> CDM would be useless without good communication. The worse the communication, the longer it takes to make a decision, and the lower the ratio of agreed vs unresolved issues. This could explain why the court cases takes so long...
22:49:14 <Oranjer> CDM?
22:49:59 <Oranjer> MizardX?
22:50:18 <MizardX> Consensus Decison Making
22:50:23 <Oranjer> oh, ha!
22:51:02 <Oranjer> true, it would be largely useless without good communication
22:51:59 <Oranjer> although, I do not see the connection between "taking longer to make a decision" and "the lowering of the ration of agreed vs. unresolved issues"
22:52:45 <MizardX> bad communication = more people disagreeing, and less chance of those getting resolved
22:53:11 <Oranjer> hmmm
22:53:45 <Oranjer> well then, I guess it would be imperative to provide a structure that encourages good communication, for Consensus Decision Making to work
22:54:33 <Oranjer> know of such a thing?
22:55:01 <MizardX> "a structure that encourages good communication" ?
22:55:07 <Oranjer> aye
22:55:13 <MizardX> No idea
22:55:16 <Oranjer> a medium of communication
22:55:18 <Oranjer> :(
22:55:52 <Oranjer> well, what's wrong with "we meet every Xday at Y o'clock"?
22:57:53 <MizardX> Maybe repeated meatings. One or two hours a day, until the issue is resolved. That way there wouldn't be so many people wanting to get out, and just agreeing with whatever is presented.
23:00:53 <MizardX> Coundn't that be how they do in the European Parlament (and other big decision making organizations)?
