00:00 < ToAruShiroiNeko> stevejobs.com, we find you jobs!
00:00 < Jasper_Deng> TeeTylerToe: you should also know that Dell overcharges, especially w/ its Alienware brand.
00:00 < BlastHardcheese> what are you people even arguing about
00:00 < Dcoetzee> I didn't know Alienware was Dell
00:00 < Jasper_Deng> you can get it much cheaper from small vendors.
00:00 < bazinga> Jasper_Deng lol alien ware
00:00 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng I for one am glad he didnt see the carnage in Syria
00:00 < TeeTylerToe> dell bought alienware
00:00 < ToAruShiroiNeko> that surely would have killed him
00:00 < Jasper_Deng> bazinga: my friends and I make a habit of ridiculing Alienware users
00:00 < Jasper_Deng> for much the same reasons why we ridicule Mac users
00:00 < mareklug> bazinga it does not matter. the point being, you CANNOT find an iMac-grade screen for less than $500 and you cannot find Apple-grade memory for less than what Apple is charging. Of course, you don't NEED Apple-grade memory.
00:01 < Jasper_Deng> "Apple-grade" is a myth
00:01 < TeeTylerToe> Apple pro products use IPS LCD screens which ARE more expensive
00:01 < Jasper_Deng> and if I were to get a Mac, I'd get a tower
00:01 < Dcoetzee> "Apple-grade memory"? Apple ships standard white label RAM as far as I know.
00:01 < TeeTylerToe> and very worth it for graphic artists
00:01 < mareklug> Jasper_Deng no it is not. It is Hynix or Samsung.
00:01 < Dcoetzee> Nothing special.
00:01 < Jasper_Deng> mareklug: which is not "Apple-grade" b/c that's not specific to Apple.
00:01 < mareklug> well, if so, find me the not so special prices on either.
00:01 < Jasper_Deng> i.e. nothing special.
00:02 < Jasper_Deng> (except for exorbitant prices ofc)
00:02 < mareklug> see?
00:02 < mareklug> even you admit that Hynix or Samsung RAM is more expensive.
00:02 < Dcoetzee> But every vendor of preassembled systems overcharges for RAM.
00:02 < Jasper_Deng> no
00:02 < Jasper_Deng> I'm pretty sure you can get it cheaper
00:02 < bazinga> Which makes it better...
00:02 < bazinga> Of course
00:02 < Dcoetzee> If you want cheap RAM you upgrade after purchase, Mac or PC, doesn't matter.
00:02 < Dcoetzee> (or build from scratch)
00:02 < bazinga> Applefanboy logic
00:02 < mareklug> exactly
00:03 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee, mareklug: or you buy from a small vendor like Cyberpower PC
00:03 < bazinga> Expensive = better
00:03 < mareklug> besides, what is this obsession with Apple ram prices? everyone knows not to buy memory there.
00:03 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: True... there are some good vendors out there
00:03 < TeeTylerToe> IPS screens are better if you work in graphics
00:03 < ToAruShiroiNeko> http://walyou.com/img/apple-ipod-brand-fuji-apple-1.jpg <- apple grade :p
00:03 < Dcoetzee> Really though, buying RAM from an OEM is like buying your Coke at a movie theatre. You know they're overcharging. So you don't do it. :-P
00:04 < bazinga> Apple is the movie theater
00:04 < bazinga> Along with dell
00:04 < TeeTylerToe> or, you know, your coke from anywhere
00:04 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: not really, small custom OEMs like the one I mentioned don't.
00:04 < ToAruShiroiNeko> before you laugh: http://laughingsquid.com/fda-holds-up-delivery-of-imac-thinking-it-is-an-actual-apple/
00:04 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: Noted :-) I refer to mainstream ones
00:04 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: Awesome
00:04 < mareklug> I buy my memory these days on ebay and it is working. :)
00:05 < Jasper_Deng> ewww ebay
00:05 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: I could see that happening in New Zealand :-P They're super paranoid about organic imports
00:05 < Dcoetzee> But in the US, that's kinda weird
00:05 -!- Moe_Epsilon is now known as David_Stevenson
00:05 < mareklug> Jasper_Deng I highly recommend 1-4-800-memory from China. Very reasonable people, and brand new sticks, and lifetime warranty.
00:05 < Jasper_Deng> mareklug: and on that note, you also can't deny that Apple (until possibly recently) deliberately makes it hard for you to get inside.
00:05 < Dcoetzee> Yes
00:05 < ToAruShiroiNeko> http://techcrunch.com/2009/12/04/fda-imac/ <- NOT A FRUIT? :o
00:05 < Jasper_Deng> Steve Jobs was famous for that
00:05 < Dcoetzee> Apple wants you to get your upgrades at the Apple Store
00:05 < mareklug> sure they do, and I don;t like it
00:06 < Dcoetzee> It's annoying, but they also don't want to pay the Apple Store staff extra to defeat convoluted mechanisms
00:06 < Dcoetzee> So they end up simplifying it
00:06 -!- ry [3288ebb5@gateway/web/freenode/ip.50.136.235.181] has joined #wikipedia-en
00:06 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee apple would suck if they sent astronaunts in orbit and they wanted upgrades
00:06 < Jasper_Deng> Steve Jobs' original rationale was to protect people from their own stupidity
00:06 < mareklug> Jasper_Deng I like my Apples like my 2009 iMac and the 1989 Mac IIci -- complete disassembly possible with minimum fuss.
00:07 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: they use Thinkpads in space
00:07 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng ya
00:07 < Dcoetzee> I like systems that you can completely disassemble with just a phillips screwdriver of a single size and nothing else.
00:07 < Jasper_Deng> ^^
00:07 < ToAruShiroiNeko> can apples work in 0G?
00:07 < David_Stevenson> a mac is best functional disassembled
00:07 < David_Stevenson> ;p
00:07 < Jasper_Deng> mareklug: I thought Steve Jobs wanted impossible disassemblement from the start
00:08 -!- ry [3288ebb5@gateway/web/freenode/ip.50.136.235.181] has quit [Client Quit]
00:08 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: All properly secured computers work fine in 0G, but I'm not sure they would work in low earth orbit
00:08 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: to be fair, even those Thinkpads needed cooling mods to work in 0G
00:08 < Dcoetzee> Due to increased radiation
00:08 < mareklug> Jasper_Deng you obviously don;t know any better. The IIci was famously introduced by a VP who disassembled it for the press in 1 minute.
00:08 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng first apples were essentially a PC with an apple logo
00:08 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: actually, w/o gravity you have no circulation
00:08 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: Doesn't temperature differential cause airflow?
00:08 < Jasper_Deng> not at a sufficient rate it doesn't
00:09 < Dcoetzee> Can't they just run fans? :-P
00:09 < Jasper_Deng> you basically get a bubble of hot air around your computer
00:09 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee you have nothing making hot air go to the top
00:09 < ToAruShiroiNeko> and cool air sink
00:09 -!- bazinga [~addihocke@wikimedia/Addihockey10] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
00:09 < Jasper_Deng> and that's not called cooling
00:09 < TeeTylerToe> hot air expands in a vacuum
00:09 < Jasper_Deng> TeeTylerToe: but they're not using it in a vacuum
00:09 < Dcoetzee> The interior of a space capsule is not a vacuum
00:09 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng its basicaly a kotatsu in spaaace!
00:09 < Dcoetzee> I'm willing to believe gravity plays a role in convection
00:09 < TeeTylerToe> I meant in lack of gravity
00:10 < Dcoetzee> But is it really that important?
00:10 < Jasper_Deng> but not quickly enough
00:10 < Jasper_Deng> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station#Communications_and_computers
00:10 < Jasper_Deng> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinkPad#Use_in_space
00:10 < Dcoetzee> I guess you could always just have a liquid cooled system
00:10 < Jasper_Deng> (I'm betting all of you are liking that they moved to Linux last month)
00:10 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: Neat
00:10 -!- harej [~quassel@wikipedia/MessedRocker] has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
00:10 < TeeTylerToe> I wish US navy ships would move to 64 bit computers
00:10 < Jasper_Deng> on that note, do we have anyone editing from space?
00:11 < ToAruShiroiNeko> they have DSL on the ISS? Not fiber? daaaang!
00:11 < Jasper_Deng> (or using IRC from space)
00:11 < TeeTylerToe> apparently the new zumwalt uses 32 bit powerpcs
00:11 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: not either
00:11 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng we do I believe
00:11 < Jasper_Deng> it's satellite
00:11 < Dcoetzee> We have people uploading YouTube videos and tweeting from space
00:11 < Dcoetzee> Editing Wikipedia seems like the next step
00:11 < Jasper_Deng> yeah, but any Wikipedia editors?
00:11 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng I kinda know its not DSL, I cannot imagine the surcharges from comcast
00:11 < Dcoetzee> Also, imagine how painful editing from Mars would be
00:11 < Dcoetzee> "Save" -> 3 minutes later -> "Edit conflict"
00:12 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: also, I nominate you to go to space and make the first extraterrestrial block
00:12 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: it's not Comcast either
00:12 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee so we should send all stewards and admins to mars to regulate the wiki?
00:12 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee OR move the sevrers to mars
00:12 < Jasper_Deng> I actually had dreams of IRC from Mars
00:12 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: Well at the least we're gonna need a local server cluster on Mars
00:12 < Jasper_Deng> and chatting with stewards on other planets
00:13 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee that would be a fascinating dev project
00:13 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: based on superluminal info transfer
00:13 < ToAruShiroiNeko> but, edit conflicts shouldnt happen IMHO
00:13 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: Based on periodic data synchronization
00:13 < Jasper_Deng> you can't have IRC w/ that though
00:13 < Jasper_Deng> my (lucid) dream, in fact, was chatting w/ someone hundreds of light-years away
00:13 < Dcoetzee> Two people on Mars and Earth can't talk to each other without the latency, by any known means whatsoever
00:14 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: the means I was dreaming about is fictional, as it's superluminal
00:14 < Jasper_Deng> which somehow is equal to reverse time travel by Einsteign.
00:14 < Dcoetzee> I think asynchronous messages would be the best way for Mars and Earth folks to collaborate
00:14 < Jasper_Deng> email would still work
00:14 < Jasper_Deng> but not having IRC would be a bane
00:14 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee unless you use subspace, it works in Star Trek so I cannot possibly see how anything can go wrong
00:14 < ToAruShiroiNeko> just launch them to mars and let them figure out how to use subspace
00:14 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: I see what you mean. Nothing ever goes wrong on Star Trek.
00:14 < TeeTylerToe> TCP over carrier pigeon
00:15 < Jasper_Deng> it would be IPv8 by then
00:15 < mareklug> maybe quantum entanglement can make it for faster communications. :) :) :)
00:15 < Jasper_Deng> mareklug: that's exactly what I was thinking of
00:15 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: And everyone will still be using IPv4
00:15 < ToAruShiroiNeko> mareklug possibly involving lasers
00:15 < Jasper_Deng> IPv6*
00:15 < ToAruShiroiNeko> IPv8!
00:15 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: by then, you won't even have enough addresses to have one address per planet.
00:15 < mareklug> the astronauts will graduate to Debian 7 by then.
00:15 < Dcoetzee> Quantum entanglement can't transfer information superluminally, based on our current understanding.
00:15 < Jasper_Deng> mareklug: didn't I mention they already did last month?
00:15 < Jasper_Deng> it's debian 10 I think
00:16 < mareklug> no, they will use Debian SIX
00:16 < Dcoetzee> That is to say, it can't transfer classical information faster than light
00:16 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: my theory was either warping space itself

00:16 < ToAruShiroiNeko> one possibility
00:16 < Jasper_Deng> or using the fact that neutrinos possibly can exceed c
00:16 < ToAruShiroiNeko> bring mars closer
00:16 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: That kinda defeats the point of going there :-P
00:16 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: that wouldn't really help b/c it would always have to be asynchronous in orbit
00:16 < ToAruShiroiNeko> what? you'd still be using a ladder
00:17 < Jasper_Deng> so that there will always be times whne it's on the other side of the Sun from us
00:17 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng unless the two orbit each other
00:17 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: That's a relatively small issue in the distant future
00:17 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: where are you going to get the angular kinetic energy for that?
00:17 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: You set up relays in orbit around the sun
00:17 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: but you still can't go faster than c
00:17 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng the same place that allowed me to move a planet :D
00:17 < Dcoetzee> Yep
00:18 < ToAruShiroiNeko> so you dont have problems shipping a planet, but heaven forbid the angular kinetic energy! xD
00:18 < Jasper_Deng> (by warping space, I meant wormholes)
00:18 -!- mindspillage [~kat@wikimedia/KatWalsh/x-0001] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
00:18 < Dcoetzee> I wonder, when solar system travel becomes commercialized, will we have the equivalent of a GPS system for the solar system?
00:18 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: and the angular momentum, for which you'll need a ginormous torque
00:18 < Jasper_Deng> Dcoetzee: good question... and it'll have to measure space-time
00:19 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee actually you can tell where you are using jupiter and the sun
00:19 < ToAruShiroiNeko> both have very large magnetic fields
00:19 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: Precisely?
00:19 < Jasper_Deng> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole#Faster-than-light_travel
00:19 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: no
00:19 < Jasper_Deng> you need at least 2 more pieces of data
00:19 < Jasper_Deng> for a total of 4 unknowns
00:20 < ToAruShiroiNeko> possibly they will not have a GPS like system but rather smart spacecraft that can calculate locaiton based on that
00:20 < Jasper_Deng> for space-time
00:20 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng my point is you already have two sources to consider
00:21 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: There are limits to the precision you could achieve with that though - determining the precise orbits of the planets is intractable due to chaotic interactions
00:21 < ToAruShiroiNeko> you need to have time to be able to use jupiter
00:21 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee precision isnt that vital in space
00:21 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: yes it is
00:21 < Jasper_Deng> b/c if you're only .001 degree off, you can miss your target.
00:21 < Dcoetzee> Jasper_Deng: That's why all spacecraft are active guided
00:21 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng I dont doubt that
00:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> but you can course correct as needed

00:22 < Jasper_Deng> so there's already that.
00:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> you'd have space highways
00:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> just pop the window open and ask the space cop
00:22 < ToAruShiroiNeko> whom all would have a silvester stalone accent
00:23 < Jasper_Deng> space highways would be fully self-guided
00:23 < Jasper_Deng> and self-policed
00:23 < Dcoetzee> This reminds me of something fun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment
00:23 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng like wikipedia?
00:23 * Jasper_Deng points ToAruShiroiNeko to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2057_%28TV_series%29
00:23 < Dcoetzee> This is a Cold War weapon system that involves dropping very heavy objects from orbit
00:23 < ToAruShiroiNeko> oooh! I should see that
00:23 < ToAruShiroiNeko> I was refering to judge dreddesque future
00:24 < Dcoetzee> Basically they make it out of solid tungsten, about the size of a telephone pole
00:24 < Dcoetzee> And just throw it at whoever they want to bomb
00:24 < Jasper_Deng> that can't work from the altitudes required
00:24 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee one problem though.
00:24 < Jasper_Deng> w/o having the tungsten burn
00:25 < ToAruShiroiNeko> tungsten is kinda rare
00:25 < Jasper_Deng> which would dissipate the effective power delivered by the projectile
00:25 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: no, W is actually very cheap
00:25 < ToAruShiroiNeko> I'd just use tuguska like asteorids
00:25 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Jasper_Deng everything is very expensive to get to orbit
00:25 < Dcoetzee> Tungsten has a very high burning point and it has a small cross section which limits friction
00:25 < ToAruShiroiNeko> just use the rock you already have!
00:25 < Dcoetzee> But it was abandoned for a reason :-P
00:26 < ToAruShiroiNeko> future wars will be a giant game of skip stone
00:26 < Dcoetzee> Ha
00:26 < Dcoetzee> Find an asteroid, throw it at your enemy

00:26 < Dcoetzee> That sounds kind of terrifying
00:26 < Jasper_Deng> We don't have quantum gravity yet
00:27 < Jasper_Deng> but I speculate that once we show that gravity is the same as the electromagnetic force, we can then repel it
00:27 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee with my luck I would strike the wrong planet

00:33 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee depends
00:34 < ToAruShiroiNeko> scientists believe hadrons are mostly energy
00:34 < TeeTylerToe> nuclear fusion
00:34 < Dcoetzee> I guess if you have a nice supply of liquid hydrogen and nuclear fusion you can make anything you like
00:34 < ToAruShiroiNeko> therefore you can cary a small amount of quarks and a large sum of energy it can technically be used to assemble individual hadrons as needed
00:34 < Dcoetzee> ToAruShiroiNeko: I see
00:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> the act of that working is a different story
00:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> let me dig up a video
00:35 < Dcoetzee> I remember one lawmaker in NZ was freaking out about the possibility of kids at home using 3D printers to print drugs. Which seems highly implausible to me.
00:36 < Dcoetzee> At this stage of development at least.

00:36 < Dcoetzee> You still have to get your hands on the raw materials though
00:38 < mareklug> how much would one expect to pay these days for 8GB flash usb pen drive?
00:38 < ToAruShiroiNeko> just watch those two videos :)
00:38 < Dcoetzee> mareklug: About $8, maybe $5 at best
00:38 < mareklug> 7.87 and flat in the shape of a key so it fits into my mac book air?
00:38 < ToAruShiroiNeko> mareklug depends on the brand
00:38 < mareklug> brand: complete chinese mystery
00:39 < mareklug> Dcoetzee 7.87 delivered.

00:42 < ToAruShiroiNeko> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178555
00:42 < Dcoetzee> The overhead is from the packaging
00:42 < ToAruShiroiNeko> mareklug you could get that :D
00:43 < Dcoetzee> If you're clever, you can probably find companies who give away 8 GB flash drives branded with their brand name
00:43 < mareklug> ToAruShiroiNeko that's lovely. but I already bought mine. I was just wondering if I grossly overpaid.

00:45 < mareklug> so I did overpay. did you have to eat, like, Belgian food to get one though?

00:45 < Dcoetzee> Needless to say, little flash drives come out of your conference registration fees

01:02 < Firefly67> Oh
01:02 < Firefly67> Does anyone still use pine or pico?
01:02 < Dcoetzee> I use pico a lot
01:02 < Dcoetzee> It comes with most systems
01:03 < mareklug> Firefly67 yes, NetBSD bboard on freeshell.org uses pico
01:03 < Dcoetzee> Pine, not so much
01:03 < Firefly67> I used to use pico a lot. Now they have only nano.
01:03 < mareklug> pico, nano, joe. whatever small works
01:04 < mareklug> basically i install nano first. and later apt-get emacs ;)
01:04 < Dcoetzee> pico comes by default with almost everything, so I use it at the terminal on fresh systems
01:04 < Dcoetzee> Until I install emacs
01:04 < Dcoetzee> To edit config files and such
01:04 < Firefly67> Oh emacs overwrites pico?
01:04 < Dcoetzee> No
01:04 < mareklug> I can do elementary editing in vi, but past simple commands I never bothered to learn the syntax.
01:05 < Dcoetzee> I just prefer Emacs because more features and I know it better
01:05 < Firefly67> Same here, vim too complicated for me
01:05 < Dcoetzee> Yeah same with me, never learned vi
01:05 < Firefly67> I use emacs, but don't like the fact that you can't open tabs. You have to open a new window every time.
01:06 < mareklug> you either become a vi or an emacs person. this was decided for me by Douglas Hofstadter and Don Byrd when they were doling out manual pages from a gray cabinet in a backroom of IU CS Dept in 1982 :)
01:06 < Dcoetzee> Nonsense, some people use both :-)
01:06 < Firefly67> vi and emacs existed back then?
01:06 < mareklug> it's a matter of cultivation.
01:06 < mareklug> oh yes, on VMS/Vax no less
01:07 < mareklug> and Unix 4.3bsd/Vax
01:07 < Dcoetzee> I find it kind of hilarious that in 20 or 30 years we haven't achieved superior editing software
01:07 < Dcoetzee> Except in special purpose circumstances
01:07 < mareklug> we have Kate in kde4
01:07 < mareklug> but actaully, BBEdit is still the superior text wrangler
01:08 < Firefly67> oh do you mean the terminal-based emacs?
01:08 < mareklug> with built-in ftp-ing
01:08 < Dcoetzee> mareklug: Pffff, edlin is the way to go
01:08 < BlastHardcheese> ED IS THE STANDARD!!!
01:08 < mareklug> RMS wrote the original Emacs in TECO in the 70s
01:09 < mareklug> for Multics
01:09 < Dcoetzee> Hmm
01:09 < Firefly67> I used lynx from dumb terminals to check hotmail I think.
01:09 < Dcoetzee> I just had a crazy idea:
01:09 < Dcoetzee> Port Emacs to Python so it can be user scripted in Python
01:10 < mareklug> u mean, use Python for Emacs' inner lisp and all?
01:10 < Dcoetzee> mareklug: Yep

02:07 < dtm> tommorris: i haven't gotten any reply at all, fyi, to my second request for a citation of policy on the deletion of my image
02:07 < dtm> tommorris: after something like three days
02:07 < dtm> tommorris: nothing new; just letting you know
02:08 < tommorris> dtm: might be an idea to ask the guy if he can email in proof of copyright transfer to OTRS
02:08 < tommorris> convincing commons to be less paranoid about copyright might be about as productive as convincing the Catholic church on the merits of agnosticism
02:08 < dtm> tommorris: the whole point is that there is no copyright transfer.
02:09 < dtm> nor is there any reason to think that there ever would be, nor is there any reason to delete by default
02:09 < dtm> we already discussed that
02:10 < dtm> he emailed in his direct assertion of the fact that he always owned the copyright, and they have no reason to question that, and nobody has ever challenged it.
02:10 < dtm> i'm not sure i'd call it being paranoid; i think i'd just call it directly *wrong*
02:11 < dtm> paranoia could have some theoretical merit. this doesn't.
02:11 < dtm> this is just abuse of fellow volunteers, and of the public.
02:11 < tommorris> indeed.
02:11 < dtm> their request is fallacious and impossible to fulfill.
02:12 < dtm> they have literally vandalized a wikipedia article.
02:12 < dtm> lots of vandals think they're justified! lol
02:12 < dtm> and then when confronted with facts, they disappeared. this is a disease.
02:13 < dtm> sad to say. i imagine the potential volume of content shoveled into Commons every day, and i shudder to think how many people may be falling victim to this.
02:15 < dtm> tommorris: in case you were giving me a nod-and-a-wink, a-nod's-as-good-as-a-wink-to-a-blind-man suggestion there, no it hadn't occured to me to lie to them by way of a falsified copyright transfer. though the volunteer deserves it, the public trust that is Commons does not ;)
02:15 < tommorris> no, I wasn't suggesting that.
02:15 < dtm> i didn't think so! ;)
02:15 < tommorris> I don't really know what to suggest, sadly.
02:15 < dtm> k
02:15 < dtm> tommorris: you said you were going to do something?
02:15 < dtm> to what ends, i dont know
02:15 < tommorris> well, I posted a thread on Commons
02:15 < dtm> ok do you have a url for that
02:16 < tommorris> yep, I'll post it to you in a sec
02:16 < tommorris> brb
02:16 < dtm> i have another biography with the same scenario, and the guy's all poised so send in his copyright assertion and i told him not to!
02:17 < dtm> in fact, you know i could actually lie and upload it to en.wp, claiming that no free equivalent exists.
02:17 < dtm> :\
02:18 < dtm> tommorris: so there's literally *no* escalation process? no manager over the guy, so to speak?
02:19 < dtm> if this was a corporation, the customer could simply demand to speak to management, have the original clerk overturned and reprimanded, and carry on in a matter of minutes.

03:00 < dtm> Dcoetzee: cool.
03:01 < tommorris> dtm: so, I wrote it from the perspective of "what should happen in scenario X?" - you might want to explicitly point out that you aren't coming from a hypothetical but are dealing with a similar real case
03:01 < dtm> tommorris: okay.
03:01 < tommorris> also, line 2, you are basically telling Commons how to suck eggs
03:01 < dtm> tommorris: nope. what made you think that?
03:02 < tommorris> dtm: nobody could possibly disagree with that. so saying it makes it sound like the thread participants have failed to do so
03:02 < dtm> no it doesn't. it says "here's the facts"
03:03 < tommorris> it's like saying "I hope we all agree that beating one's wife is a problem." by raising it as an issue, it impicitly suggests that someone doesn't consider beating their wife to be a problem
03:03 < dtm> tommorris: besides that, indeed various people in this very thread have already disagreed with that.
03:03 < dtm> various people are saying "in my experience, the opposite is true"
03:04 < dtm> and i'm saying "that's noted, and instructive, but not ultimately the deciding factor"
03:04 < dtm> and no, no such implicit communication exists
03:04 < dtm> that's not a logical implication
03:04 < dtm> even if people hadn't already said otherwise
03:05 < dtm> i mean if you think there's a readability problem, then i'm all ears ;)
03:06 < dtm> it's kinda hard to second guess various psychological problems that every reader could have though

03:09 < dtm> tommorris: what is AGF? do you think that anything i said would definitely be misconstrued by the participants? maybe there are hot topics that i am unfamiliar with, coz i haven't read this forum before.
03:09 < dtm> tommorris: i rewrote it to say "However instructive, anecdotal evidence and stories aren't the ultimate deciding factor."

03:19 < dtm> Dcoetzee: TL;DR Commons has a presumptive and deletionist tendency, if a self-portrait doesn't have a copyright statement by a photographer (who is always presumed to exist, and who is always presumed to hold the copyright). this flies in the face of the existence of "work for hire", of "verbal contract", and of common sense.
03:19 < Dcoetzee> That's ridiculous.
03:19 < Dcoetzee> Work for hire law in the United States.
03:19 < dtm> and it may be cases beyond this, but my personal anecdote is that of the self-portrait
03:19 < Dcoetzee> And most other nations.
03:20 < dtm> Dcoetzee: so you grok what i'm sayin huh?
03:20 < Dcoetzee> Does not grant rights to the employer unless a contract states as much.
03:20 < Dcoetzee> Verbal contracts that aren't documented are essentially unenforcable, rendering any presumptive defense based on them moot.
03:20 < dtm> what would make you say that? you're talking like judge, jury, and executioner
03:21 < Dcoetzee> Moreover many if not most photographers in the US prefer to retain rights to their works, and explicitly write that into their contracts.
03:21 < dtm> the point is that verbal contracts happen literally all the time, and they are tangible
03:21 < Dcoetzee> So that they can build and distribute a portfolio without interference.
03:21 < dtm> yeah, unless they dont.
03:21 < dtm> that's just more anecdotes
03:21 < Dcoetzee> Do you have anything but anecdotes to offer in return?
03:22 < dtm> i didn't offer anecdotes at all. i just stated the logical facts of the matter.
03:22 < Dcoetzee> I'm just saying, work for hire law in the US doesn't apply.
03:22 < QueenOfFrance> since when has commons to do with logic anyway
03:22 < Dcoetzee> It only applies to the 11 specific categories of works.
03:22 < Dcoetzee> None of which cover typical portraits
03:22 < dtm> QueenOfFrance: well that's kinda what i'm sayin so far
03:22 -!- TBloemink [~TB@wikimedia/tbloemink] has joined #wikipedia-en
03:23 < Dcoetzee> Commons follows the law. The law is fucked up.
03:23 < Dcoetzee> It's unfortunate but not much we can do about it.
03:23 < Dcoetzee> My apologies that Congress has failed to follow your intuitions.
03:23 < QueenOfFrance> heh law is another thing that has nothing to do with logic
03:24 < dtm> Dcoetzee: i imagine that commons mostly follows the law, but not all situations are explicitly codified to picturesque detail in law. you just mentioned and summarily dismissed some law, in the same statement.
03:24 < Dcoetzee> Okay, I'll link you the details
03:24 < dtm> anybody could take a self portrait, where another photographer doesn't even exist.
03:25 < dtm> commons is implicitly denying the possibility of this
03:25 < QueenOfFrance> dtm: bring a common law country, law is worth what it's worth jurisprudence would need to be analyzed
03:25 < Dcoetzee> That's true. We often look for signals in the photo that the person is taking a self portrait
03:25 < QueenOfFrance> *being
03:25 < dtm> they're basically saying that photographic art inherently involves a separate person, and that this person inherently owns the copyright.
03:25 < dtm> none of that is true
03:25 < Dcoetzee> Examples include use of a mirror, EXIF data similar to other photos taken by them, the pose and timing, etc.
03:25 < dtm> they're not giving any gray area
03:25 < Dcoetzee> We have to make a judgement call about whether it's a self portrait.
03:25 < dtm> Dcoetzee: none of that is definitive proof of the negative
03:26 < dtm> Dcoetzee: all of this comes down to taking the submitter's word for it! Commons doesn't know most of these people from Adam!
03:26 < Dcoetzee> It's very hard to determine that after the fact, and in the absence of clear evidence or a claim by the uploader the precautionary principle dictates conservatism.
03:27 < Dcoetzee> The fact that we trust uploader claims at all is somewhat incongruous with the precautionary principle but also the project wouldn't really work otherwise.
03:27 < dtm> i mean this is all preposterous. a person coudl take their own self portrait regardless of any visual evidence.
03:27 < dtm> Dcoetzee: that's my point -- for some scenarios, the project doesn't work, period
03:27 < dtm> as it stands
03:27 < dtm> but i didn't see a policy that says that it's acceptable for it to work for a certain percentage, and to nuke the rest
03:27 < Dcoetzee> The fact remains that in many cases we successfully seek clarification from the uploader that the portrait is in fact a self-portrait.
03:28 < dtm> Dcoetzee: yes i said that it is, in this case
03:28 < dtm> and the guy is implying that i'm lying.
03:28 < Dcoetzee> I would consider an uploader claim by a reputable user to be sufficient evidence for a keep.
03:28 < Dcoetzee> And anyone arguing against that is being overconservative.
03:28 < dtm> i told him the subject owns the copyright. they have literally no reason to disbelieve it, and nobody has ever challenged the claim.
03:28 < dtm> Dcoetzee: see that's common sense, and that's what i'm saying
03:29 < Dcoetzee> Did you say it was a self portrait?
03:29 < dtm> i'm a reputable user, having authored several articles, and have no disciplinary history
03:29 < Dcoetzee> Or did you just claim that the subject mysteriously owns the copyright through some poorly explained mechanism?
03:30 < Dcoetzee> Neither work for hire laws nor verbal contracts are going to suffice in a case like this.
03:30 < dtm> Dcoetzee: nobody asked that. i complied with all of the procedures and required statements, and these people just *kaboom* deleted it. i dont remember if i used the term "self-portrait". i know that i said that the subject owns the copyright, and that they have absolutely no reason to think otherwise, and that nobody has challegned it.
03:30 < dtm> this is functionally tantamount to vandalism
03:30 < Dcoetzee> Please don't bandy about the word vandalism.
03:30 < dtm> if i walked wikipedia, deleting stuff by personal fiat, that wouldn't stand either.
03:31 < Dcoetzee> That deletion is well in line with conventional practice.
03:31 * wctaiwan whistles loudly
03:31 < wctaiwan> oh hi everyone.
03:31 < dtm> Dcoetzee: well i'm just saying the literal truth. a lot of vandals believe that they're justified too.
03:31 < dtm> wctaiwan: hellos
03:31 < Dcoetzee> Neither the law in your nation nor any of the circumstances around the case suggest that you are in fact the copyright holder.
03:31 < Dcoetzee> You can't just say "Oh I am trust me"
03:31 < wctaiwan> dtm: HINT HINT
03:31 < QueenOfFrance> Good afternoon wctaiwan
03:31 < Dcoetzee> We need *some* evidence
03:31 < wctaiwan> hey Snowolf :)
03:32 < Dcoetzee> If you said "it's a self portrait" that would be evidence. If you said "I can get an email from the photographer" that would be great.
03:32 < Dcoetzee> It doesn't take much evidence. But bold unsubstantiated claims about copyright status won't fly.
03:32 < dtm> Dcoetzee: okay but. there is no unfalsifiable evidence. there is no case in which a common, non-celebrity person, would submit anything verifiable.
03:32 < dtm> Dcoetzee: okay i undersatnd that
03:33 < dtm> but it does literally all come down to the submitter's fiat vs. the deletionist's fiat
03:33 < Dcoetzee> You have to understand the kind of uploaders we deal with.
03:33 < Dcoetzee> People who take shit off the web, upload it marked as their own work.
03:33 < dtm> unless we're talking about a highly well known subject like Brad Pitt
03:33 < dtm> Dcoetzee: yeah i totally hear that, bro
03:33 < Dcoetzee> When we challenge them they say "I am copyright holder please don't delete"
03:33 < dtm> it's a tough racket *sip* ;)
03:33 < Dcoetzee> And you know, it's obviously bullshit
03:33 < dtm> i used to be in volunteer customer support!
03:33 < Dcoetzee> Sometimes even reputable users, good article writers
03:34 < dtm> Dcoetzee: that sux
03:34 < Dcoetzee> Are quite entirely clueless about copyright and think anything they find online is free
03:34 < dtm> yeah. oh the things i hear in here and in -help-en
03:34 < Dcoetzee> So we need a little more than just a claim.
03:34 < Dcoetzee> That said they should have followed up with you in a case like this.
03:34 < dtm> yeah. they'll still just get nothing more than a claim, but people can act like it isn't! ;)
03:35 < Dcoetzee> We have some deleting admins who don't read deletion requests or address arguments in favor of keeping.
03:35 < dtm> Dcoetzee: furthermore, i'll note that they deleted it without contacting me at all beforehand of afterward
03:35 < tommorris> you can usually tell the ones which have been nicked off the Internet because they are released under the 'Free Art License'. because, hurr durr, it's art, and it's on the internet, ergo, it must be free, therefore "Free Art Library"!
03:35 < Dcoetzee> Yeah
03:35 < tommorris> "Free Art License" rather
03:35 < dtm> Dcoetzee: then, when i contacted them, they didn't undelete it for a discussion period
03:35 < dtm> just refused!
03:35 < dtm> tommorris: blame English! "free"!!! ;)
03:35 < Dcoetzee> dtm: If you commented in the deletion request with keep and more evidence was needed they really should have followed up with you. They often don't because deletion admins are really trigger happy, largely due to enormous backlogs.
03:36 < dtm> Dcoetzee: totally

03:36 < Dcoetzee> At least two admins have been deadminned for not justifying their deletions adequatley.
03:36 < dtm> indeed, i kindly requested to see his policy in writing, that he'd followed. he ignored it. i asked again, and i never heard from him for three days.

03:37 < dtm> Dcoetzee: so if this was a customer service agency, even in a gigantic megacorp like a bank, they'd be reprimanded
03:37 < dtm> in my particular case
03:37 < dtm> this was pretty coarse
03:38 < Dcoetzee> dtm: In the future my advice if you aren't satisfied following up with the deleting admin is to take it to undeletion requests directly yourself
03:38 < wctaiwan> customer service agency?
03:38 < dtm> Dcoetzee: i did not know that exists

03:38 < Dcoetzee> dtm: It's not very well advertised... should update policy pages. Now you know :-P

03:40 < dtm> tommorris: yeah i'm just sayin this should be pretty obvious to someone who's as interested as you or i are
03:40 < Dcoetzee> It's linked from there... I'm not sure if you've seen this page
03:40 < dtm> it should be at the bottom of all OTRS emails
03:40 < dtm> some manner of escalation or policy publication
03:40 < dtm> Dcoetzee: no i hadn't, thanks
03:40 < Dcoetzee> Can you think of other places to put it besides that page that would be useful?
03:40 < dtm> Dcoetzee: well at the bottom of every OTRS email
03:40 < Dcoetzee> That is our main policy page regarding deletion.
03:40 < wctaiwan> It wouldn't be relevant to most OTRS emails.
03:41 < dtm> i mean there should be some link to a table of contents
03:41 < dtm> a FAQ or something

03:41 < Dcoetzee> Maybe?
03:42 < dtm> Dcoetzee: so i'm curious if you think that my particular situation warrants having a senior individual, perhaps like your own fine self, to follow up with my OTRS volunteer deletionists, in matters of training.
03:42 < Dcoetzee> dtm: Let us see how the UR turns out first
03:42 < Dcoetzee> If the file is undeleted and the opinions of others are very clear, then a reprimand is in order.
03:42 < dtm> i had tried reading up on OTRS, and i had only gotten to the part about how to volunteer, which i may want to do
03:43 < dtm> Dcoetzee: no doubt. but also it's already been a matter of overzealousness in any case. deletion without prior or followup consultation is not acceptable.

04:43 < mareklug> you can also borrow to cover that, driving up inflation. it is what happened to Poland and USSR in the 1970s

05:33 < tommorris> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retreat_(survivalism) - "While fallout shelters have been advocated since the 1950s, dedicated self-sufficient survivalist retreats have been advocated only since the mid-1970s."

05:33 < bitcoin_boy> Mid-1970s...
05:33 < tommorris> No, explain how you can answer your own question. You'd think someone into Bitcoin would be into self-sufficiency.
05:33 < bitcoin_boy> That's even later.
05:33 < GorillaWarfare> No need to be rude

09:05 < Qcoder00> The EU was pushing for tracking data retention anyway
09:06 < Theo10011> It certainly makes the Chinese survaillance look like a joke.
09:06 < Qcoder00> be rather embrassing if they object to the US obtaining similar data, when they want firms in the US to retain it
09:06 < Theo10011> and the fact they've been doing it for 6-7 years
09:06 < Theo10011> without anyone noticing

09:15 < Theo10011> The Prism program on the other hand

09:19 < Qcoder00> Time for a block?
09:19 < TheDruId> Qcoder00, previously reverted with a justifiable edit summary. Seems the right thing to do.
09:19 < mareklug> Theo10011 Apple claimed it knows nothing of PRISM and makes nothing available to the Feds on their own servers. And the Feds in turn have complained recently that iMessages is too secure for them to crack it (this is routine police/FBI)
09:20 < Theo10011> mareklug, but banks do have an email on file, they have to have. And with the recent green initiatives, sending e-statements is cheaper for some.
09:20 < Theo10011> mareklug, ya, everyone claimed that they know nothing of Prism.
09:20 < Theo10011> and their end is secured.
09:20 < mareklug> Theo10011 Again, these statements are sent internally to the Secure Messaging center.
09:20 < Theo10011> But there must be a loophole some where.
09:20 < NotASpy> bank statements are the least of your problems - the Feds have all that information anyway, as they have good levels of access to financial transaction databases.

09:22 < mareklug> I MAY get an email message that I have a secure message waiting for me.
09:22 < NotASpy> they're pulling much more succinct information out of e-mails, and pulling useful stuff like GPS data from FB posts. They're building up a picture of your life, they know you buy a Starbucks on the way to work every morning and they know you ride the Underground, but they're more interested in what you say or do between the tube station and Starbucks.
09:24 < NotASpy> they're looking to see who is using the internet from the same locations, from the same cell towers, posting from the same GPS locations, that sort of stuff. They're using this data to join the dots, to track you 24/7, basically.

10:02 * Dcoetzee sighs and facepalms at rumored 41-megapixel cameraphone
10:02 < Dcoetzee> Why do people want resolution that far exceeds the diffraction limit of their lenses
10:04 < FastLizard4> Dcoetzee: Because people who know nothing about photography just go "OMG TEH MEGAPIXELS"
10:04 < mareklug> explain the diffraction limit thing
10:04 < mareklug> couldn't I conceivably hook up a 41-megapixel sensor even to a pinhole camera?
10:04 < Dcoetzee> Yes but the effective resolution would be much lower
10:05 < Dcoetzee> The issue is that due to the effects of diffraction, the airy disc or circle of confusion becomes large relative to the pixel size
10:05 < Dcoetzee> When you look at the image at 100% zoom, it will appear to be slightly blurred throughout
10:06 < mareklug> already does on my 10-megapixel el cheapo 1040 Olympus
10:06 < Dcoetzee> This effect normally only appears at tiny apertures, but as resolution goes up you start to see it even when the lens is wide open
10:06 < Dcoetzee> http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm Here's a good page on diffraction
10:06 < Dcoetzee> (with respect to cameras)
10:07 < Dcoetzee> More to the point, cameraphones have plastic lenses
10:07 < Dcoetzee> Which are full of defects
10:08 < Dcoetzee> It leads to uneven focus over the field of view, which also places practical limits on resolution.
10:08 < Dcoetzee> You're just not going to get better than maybe 12 MP out of a cameraphone lens no matter how many pixels the sensor has. In fact, the more pixels it has, the less area is dedicated to photon reception, which leads to poor low light performance.
10:09 < mareklug> Dcoetzee wait, i thought iPhone was supposed to have saphire lenses
10:10 < Dcoetzee> Saphire? Like the gemstone?
10:10 < Dcoetzee> Or is that their trendy brand name?

10:16 < Dcoetzee> Attachable lenses and such
10:17 < Dcoetzee> It's not terrible. But at the end of the day it still has a tiny sensor which limits its practical low light sensitivity.
10:17 < Dcoetzee> (as well as achievable resolution and aperture range)
10:17 < mareklug> Dcoetzee so you would not be necc. opposed to increasing the megapixels of iPhone's sensor. :)

11:21 < Pharos> for example, "It Sounds Like a Band Name", could be a band name
11:21 < GorillaWarfare> iDangerMouse: No :(
11:21 < mareklug> Ferrer wins just now at Semis French Open. Meets Nadal in the Final. Interestingly, both Spaniards.
11:21 < NotASpy> mareklug: of course. That's why I think they would be a prog rock band, but with someone on flute and a mandolin.
11:22 < BlastHardcheese> Interestingly Both Spaniards would be a good band name
11:22 < mareklug> NotASpy oh so there are not a band? just your nom?
11:22 < iDangerMouse> GorillaWarfare: Aw, no problem...... I haven't actually had any sort of cookies, or sugary stuff for 5 days. I feel deprived.
11:22 < mareklug> John Hackett does flute great. He is the brother of guitarist Steve Hackett.
11:22 < NotASpy> BlastHardcheese: yes, but they would need to be more than a duo - i.e a four piece 'beat combo' or something.
11:23 < NotASpy> mareklug: yeah, it's a type of moth. Very pretty. That free encylopedia thingy has photos ! [[Deilephila elpenor]].

12:56 < halfak_> Oh sure. Thanks.
12:57 < NotASpy> I would add, if you've got a big lump of text that's short of links or references, maybe sneak an extra link or two in. You'll get a feel for it as you write though.
12:57 < shimgray> the rule I originally picked up was "once per screen or two", but things have got a bit more refined since then

14:46 < PinkAmpersand> but the presidential motorcade is pretty effective
14:47 < PinkAmpersand> Obama's Secret Service detail once arrested the Turkish president's entire detail
14:47 < Jasper_Deng> ?
14:47 < PinkAmpersand> http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/03/inside-the-secret-service/308390/ one of the coolest articles i've ever read
14:48 < PinkAmpersand> Jasper_Deng: during the UN General Assembly. The Turkish president had the brilliant idea to walk though traffic in New York, surrounded by armed guards.
14:48 < PinkAmpersand> Secret Service saw a large group of men with machine guns walking toward them... Lucky no one got shot.
14:49 < Jasper_Deng> and this wasn't declared to the S. SErvice?
14:50 < PinkAmpersand> "The prime minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was not so understanding. His motorcade was arriving at the Sheraton Hotel while a “POTUS Freeze” was in place. The Secret Service agent in charge of Erdogan’s detail asked him to wait until Obama’s motorcade had departed, but the Turkish prime minister did not heed the advice. He opened the door
14:50 < PinkAmpersand> to his car, and armed Turkish agents began exiting the other vehicles in the motorcade. “Don’t do that!” the American detail leader shouted. But Erdogan’s entourage nonetheless approached Obama’s departure tent. An agent in the Presidential Protective Detail, having no idea who these foreign guys with guns were, yelled into his handheld mike,
14:50 < PinkAmpersand> “Crash it! Crash the tent!” Within moments, a dozen agents were out of their cars in full sprint, guns drawn, and the Turks were forcibly detained.
14:50 < PinkAmpersand> The incident was over within 20 seconds, but the Turkish delegation was mightily offended. It canceled several events in New York, while the Secret Service and the State Department apologized and tried to smooth hurt egos. Although agents had done exactly what they were supposed to do, the service initiated a full review, and procedures were altered to
14:50 < PinkAmpersand> ensure that presidential motorcades didn’t intersect with waiting dignitaries in the future."
14:51 < Jasper_Deng> that was....

15:06 < Qcoder00> Odd

15:06 < Qcoder00> that went through without error
15:07 < Qcoder00> Anyhow
15:07 < Qcoder00> Can someone have a word with a user in question?
15:07 < Qcoder00> That put the 'shock' art on it?
15:07 < PinkAmpersand> decent painting
15:07 < Prodego> well that wasn't recent
15:08 < Prodego> perhaps you edit conflicted with Singularity42
15:08 < Qcoder00> Maybe
15:08 < PinkAmpersand> someone gonna run a check on that account?
15:08 < Qcoder00> PinkAmpersand: By a not very notable artist
15:08 < Prodego> I don't see any 'shock' art
15:08 < Qcoder00> Read the caption
15:08 < PinkAmpersand> Qcoder00: Pricasso's super-notable!
15:08 < PinkAmpersand> I've seen him on Tosh.0
15:08 < Qcoder00> Hmm
15:09 < Prodego> Well that's not shock art
15:09 < Prodego> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_image
15:09 < Qcoder00> But I hardly think a picture painted with a ***** is appropriate for Jimbo's page
15:09 < Qcoder00> I'm half tempted to nuke the image concerned at Commons
15:09 < PinkAmpersand> you shouldn't have reverted without a summary, though. that's edit warring
15:09 < Prodego> oh it isn't, it just isn't shock art
15:10 < Prodego> someone want to hit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Block/Florestan_Jaupa
15:10 < NotASpy> painted with a ***** - are they Michelin stars ?
15:10 < Prodego> PinkAmpersand: oh I think not
15:10 < Qcoder00> PinkAmpersand: Hmm
15:10 < Qcoder00> NotASpy: I don't like saying words Commons people get hot about
15:11 < PinkAmpersand> Prodego: for restoring an edit made by someone with 20k+ edits?
15:11 < NotASpy> it's a lovely painting. It needs a userbox: This user likes the Pricasso painting of our beloved leader
15:11 < PinkAmpersand> probably a sock of someone, but, lacking evidence, the edit isn't itself blockable
15:11 < PinkAmpersand> IMHO
15:11 < NotASpy> PinkAmpersand: read their userpage. Not a sock.
15:11 < Qcoder00> It is disruptive though
15:11 < QueenOfFrance> We should just ban russavia
15:12 < PinkAmpersand> NotASpy: whose userpage?
15:12 < NotASpy> PinkAmpersand: the editor who added it.
15:12 < Qcoder00> Are Draco and Florestan the same?
15:12 < PinkAmpersand> NotASpy: i was referring to Florestan
15:12 < Prodego> you can block Florestan, you can't block Draco, and no edit summary was required to revert
15:12 < Prodego> </summary>
15:12 < Qcoder00> I doubt there's enough for Check user
15:12 < Prodego> I doubt I am motivated to get a checkuser to do it
15:12 < PinkAmpersand> oh, wait, it was Jayen's wife? lol, nvm then
15:13 < Prodego> it also doesn't matter, since you can just block them
15:13 < Qcoder00> 1 edit ?
15:13 < PinkAmpersand> can someone please revoke her rollback perms? they were added without any reason
15:13 < NotASpy> It's not as if it's a proper edit war, it's a bit of fun getting out of hand.
15:14 < Prodego> You don't need a reason to give rollback rights
15:14 < QueenOfFrance> PinkAmpersand: what prodego said
15:16 < PinkAmpersand> yes, but assigning rollback to someone for no obvious reason, presumably simply because of who the user's married to (not to mention assigning autopatroller), and then that user going on to use it in an edit war...

20:59 < harej> I have a question about editing MediaWiki:Common.css on Wikipedia. I may work on a main page redesign (commensurate with the ongoing discussion) which may involved custom CSS. So that all people can see the CSS, would I be allowed to put the CSS on MediaWiki:Common.css, or would that be severely inappropriate?
21:00 < harej> Obviously I would test it out in my personal CSS first and it would not be code that would interfere with anything else; it would be its own thing.
21:00 < harej> It feels so unnecessarily selfish, but the only alternative I can think of is asking people to copy+paste my CSS into their stylesheet. Or I could find a way to make everything inline.
21:01 < ToAruShiroiNeko> mareklug I can imagine how apple can dominate
21:02 < Ironholds> harej: as a test?
21:02 < ToAruShiroiNeko> that strategy didnt help blackberry
21:02 < harej> Ironholds, as a "I've prepared this thing for y'all and I'd like for y'all to look."
21:02 < harej> Testing would be done with my own personal stylesheet, obviously.
21:02 < Ironholds> harej: that would be tremendously inappropriate, yes. I would strongly suggest you just have people link to your stylesheet.
21:02 < harej> Oh right, people can do that!
21:02 < Ironholds> yup
21:03 < harej> It's just a one-line code isn't it?
21:03 < Ironholds> yup
21:04 < Charmlet> harej: you can ask people to just import your CSS

22:24 < Jasper_Deng> mareklug: except, this is wiki spamming
22:25 < Jasper_Deng> we're talking about
22:25 < ToAruShiroiNeko> mareklug I am not certain thats the case
22:25 < ToAruShiroiNeko> but these blokes tend to use/rent a botnet for the task
22:25 < ToAruShiroiNeko> gaining a databse of emails is also often done through not so strictly legal means
22:26 < SigmaWP> lol
22:27 < tos> I always wondered how Nigerian princes always used to find me
22:27 < mareklug> ToAruShiroiNeko nonsense. equally you could say that obtaining a Windows 7 pro license is also often done thorugh nto so strictly legal means. Ppl can buy addresses -- it is offered by lots of sellers.
22:27 < PinkAmpersand> mareklug: "I chose to go with Houston Criminal Lawyer Charles Johnson as my Solicitation of Minor attorney. He exceeded all of my expectations. If you need a criminal defense attorney criminal defense attorney in Houston, Contact The Top Sex Crimes Attorney in Harris County today at [http://deptak.org/blogs/user/JosefinaBe Harris County Sex Crimes
22:27 < PinkAmpersand> Attorney]."
22:27 < Jasper_Deng> email spamming is illegal
22:27 < PinkAmpersand> brb while i reboot my computer. just accidentally restored that page while copying that, thanks to a screwed-up cursor.
22:27 < IDoH> I've wondered that, TOS
22:28 -!- RAN1 is now known as RAN1_out
22:28 < tos> I'm hundred percent sure I know who's behind most of these mails
22:29 < IDoH> Who, tos?
22:29 < IDoH> Might want to contact the FBI if you do
22:29 < tos> Nopes
22:29 < mareklug> Jasper_Deng talking through your hat again? "If the spam fails to comply with any of these requirements it is illegal." from our very own article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_spam
22:29 < tos> They're breached already
22:30 < mareklug> The legal status of spam varies from one jurisdiction to another. In the United States, spam was declared to be legal by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 provided the message adheres to certain specifications. ISPs have attempted to recover the cost of spam through lawsuits against spammers, although they have been mostly unsuccessful in collecting damages despite winning in court.[8][9]
22:31 < ToAruShiroiNeko> mareklug US laws only apply to the US
22:31 < IDoH> mareklug: Why, because the spammers simply wouldn't pay?
22:31 < PinkAmpersand> ToAruShiroiNeko: except at Nuremburg :D
22:31 < ToAruShiroiNeko> IDoH they just hide behind loopholes
22:31 < IDoH> I see, ToAruShiroiNeko
22:32 < ToAruShiroiNeko> and also island nations
22:32 < ToAruShiroiNeko> spam need very high volume to be profitable
22:33 < IDoH> True

22:34 < PinkAmpersand> my point is simply that for a lawyer to be in any way affiliated with spam is bad. lawyers are expected to uphold certain ethical requirements.
22:34 < Jasper_Deng> ^
22:34 < ToAruShiroiNeko> hah!
22:34 < ToAruShiroiNeko> lawyers? ethics?
22:34 < ToAruShiroiNeko> :p
22:34 < PinkAmpersand> and either this guy deliberately had someone do this, or he hired some people to do some very shady SEO work, knowing full well it would entail less-than-legitimate stuff like this
22:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> of course
22:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> spamming is serious business
22:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> there are volume limits on free providers
22:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> and unfree providers dont like their services used for spam
22:35 < PinkAmpersand> so, to repeat what I said when I mentioned this earlier... maybe I'll give him a call, and see if he'd be interested in making a charitable donation to the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikimedia Germany (since they run Wikidata), to offset the damage he's done. ;D
22:35 < ToAruShiroiNeko> he clearly didnt send emails on his own

22:37 < Jasper_Deng> ToAruShiroiNeko: which doesn't make it less unethical
22:37 < ToAruShiroiNeko> I dont think the moral standard in a society is lawyers
22:37 < PinkAmpersand> i also like that the spam(mer|bot) was indicted for soliciting sex from a minor... maybe the first ever person to be blockable under both the spam policy and the child protection policy? ;)
22:38 < ToAruShiroiNeko> any more than politicians :p
22:38 < Jasper_Deng> Philippe may be able to give us more answers
22:38 < mareklug> PinkAmpersand in 1997 a lawyer was disbarred for internet/usenet spamming in Tennessee (for a year), but he was a real nuissance, not what you are trying to disbar the wiki editor for.
22:39 < mareklug> http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/1997/07/5060
22:39 < PinkAmpersand> huh. whaddaya know. well, maybe this guy already has a few warnings :P
22:40 < PinkAmpersand> i mean, Clinton got disbarred for lying to Congress. so it can't be *that* hard
22:41 < PinkAmpersand> mareklug: cool article! so that guy, like, is the reason for modern anti-spam technology?
22:42 < PinkAmpersand> huh. just got a 500 error in Wired. ironic.

23:40 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Obama to take away our bugs
23:41 < Dcoetzee> What
23:41 < Dcoetzee> Obama is against insects?
23:41 < ToAruShiroiNeko> remember that fly incident
23:41 < ToAruShiroiNeko> he didnt even bother with a drone
23:41 < ToAruShiroiNeko> it was up close and personal
23:41 < ToAruShiroiNeko> clear evidence of his anti-insect agenda
23:42 < Dcoetzee> But reports say that insects were present in and around the Twin Towers on 9/11
23:42 < Dcoetzee> That seems very suspicious to me
23:42 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Dcoetzee I heard one terrorist that planned the attacks was bitten by a mosquto
23:42 < Dcoetzee> Aha! A direct connection
23:43 < ToAruShiroiNeko> "bitten" or CIA genetic coding?
23:43 < ToAruShiroiNeko> another had crabs
23:43 < ToAruShiroiNeko> STMC
23:43 < ToAruShiroiNeko> Sexually Transmitted Mind Control
23:43 < Dcoetzee> Crabs are very deceptive
23:44 < ToAruShiroiNeko> they also face extinction
23:44 < Dcoetzee> They pretend like they're crustaceans. But in reality, they're insects too.
23:44 < tos> They're lying!
23:44 < Dcoetzee> The insect conspiracy goes ever deeper.
23:45 < wctaiwan> It's the hive mind.
