Wow...

[rdrake]

Tonight we had a surprising visitor. Now, we generally like to be gentle to our guests in the channel, however, this was an exception. I'm sure as Canadians you get bothered when an American starts stereotyping you, here's the result.

Just a word of note, this conversation was us being sarcastic and joking around. In no way was anything we said true, nor does it reflect how we feel.

Oct 11 22:45:11 * TheFerret (Furo@CPE001839c4c1b9-CM0011aec5599e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #compsci.ca
Oct 11 22:45:15 <sd88g93> so any of you developers ?
Oct 11 22:45:21 <rdrake> we all play around
Oct 11 22:45:24 <md> define developer
Oct 11 22:45:30 <sd88g93> software developer ?
Oct 11 22:45:38 <TheFerret> we all play around
Oct 11 22:45:48 * Furo has quit (Ping timeout)
Oct 11 22:45:48 <rdrake> echo
Oct 11 22:45:59 <rdrake> echo... echo...
Oct 11 22:46:08 <md> we see you rdrake
Oct 11 22:46:14 <TheFerret> hmm, i timed out now
Oct 11 22:46:18 <sd88g93> we see you and raise you ten
Oct 11 22:46:27 <md> and I consider myself to be a programmer; though I suppose you could call me a developer
Oct 11 22:46:33 <sd88g93> oh oops, sorry, thought we were playing poker there
Oct 11 22:46:55 <sd88g93> what do you program ?
Oct 11 22:47:07 <md> low level networking stuff
Oct 11 22:47:10 <TheFerret> didnt work rdrake
Oct 11 22:47:12 <md> and I do it very slowly
Oct 11 22:47:28 <md> also custom software for people who pay me
Oct 11 22:47:33 <rdrake> TheFerret, you must RTFM
Oct 11 22:47:34 <md> but that's pretty iffy right now
Oct 11 22:47:47 <TheFerret> i did
Oct 11 22:47:53 <TheFerret> ish
Oct 11 22:48:01 <rdrake> you put on a floppy, rebooted into safe mode, then did it?
Oct 11 22:48:03 <rdrake> I don't think so
Oct 11 22:48:14 <sd88g93> what kind of environment doyou use ?
Oct 11 22:48:15 <TheFerret> do i have a floppy drive or a floppy disk
Oct 11 22:48:23 <rdrake> do you need one?
Oct 11 22:48:24 <rdrake> yes
Oct 11 22:48:27 <TheFerret> no
Oct 11 22:48:29 <rdrake> sd88g93, sadly i'm using winders now
Oct 11 22:48:37 <rdrake> but we usually use linux and *nix offshoots
Oct 11 22:48:39 <sd88g93> i'm using windows now too
Oct 11 22:48:49 <sd88g93> but i have a linux system setup
Oct 11 22:49:44 <sd88g93> anyone program with eclipse ?
Oct 11 22:49:49 * md uses *nix exclusively
Oct 11 22:49:52 <md> no
Oct 11 22:49:57 <md> gedit and a command line ftw
Oct 11 22:50:01 <rdrake> agreed
Oct 11 22:50:05 <rdrake> but I have little choice
Oct 11 22:50:08 <rdrake> at least I have ssh back up
Oct 11 22:50:50 <sd88g93> eclipse seems to be the best developing environment to program in, its a truly beautiful IDE
Oct 11 22:51:02 <rdrake> takes up lots of resources though
Oct 11 22:51:04 * rdrake hates java
Oct 11 22:51:14 <sd88g93> yes it does, the one drawback about it
Oct 11 22:51:18 <TheFerret> shower time, bbl
Oct 11 22:51:19 <sd88g93> but it can do so much
Oct 11 22:51:47 <sd88g93> you can program in c in it too , or c#
Oct 11 22:52:34 <md> you can do all those in gedit and a command line too
Oct 11 22:52:46 <sd88g93> anyone involved in any open source projects ?
Oct 11 22:52:59 * md ponders why you ask so many questions
Oct 11 22:53:22 <sd88g93> just trying to enliven it up a bit, i'm curious
Oct 11 22:53:31 <sd88g93> sorry
Oct 11 22:53:53 <md> ahh
Oct 11 22:53:59 <niko> He's a commie spy!
Oct 11 22:54:01 * md is busy programming
Oct 11 22:54:06 <md> ahh! a commie!
Oct 11 22:54:18 <md> quick! shoot him with your stun gun!
Oct 11 22:54:19 <sd88g93> md, what are you programming now ?
Oct 11 22:54:27 <md> things. secret things
Oct 11 22:54:35 * md looks around in a paranoid manner
Oct 11 22:54:39 <sd88g93> so youre into cryptography ?
Oct 11 22:54:50 <md> yes...
Oct 11 22:54:59 * md goes back to ignoring most of the chanel so he can work
Oct 11 22:55:16 <sd88g93> i dont like cryptography much, its just tooo .... errrr .... cryptic
Oct 11 22:55:38 <sd88g93> can never figure it out
Oct 11 22:55:50 <rdrake> md is working a secret project
Oct 11 22:56:04 <sd88g93> is md a doctor ?
Oct 11 22:56:12 <rdrake> no
Oct 11 22:56:35 <sd88g93> what states are we all in ? i'm in CT

Oct 11 22:57:56 <md> american!
Oct 11 22:57:58 <md> kill him!
Oct 11 22:58:01 <rdrake> I do believe so
Oct 11 22:58:03 * md gets out the BFG
Oct 11 22:58:04 <rdrake> down md, down
Oct 11 22:58:08 <md> grrr....
Oct 11 22:58:10 <sd88g93> its ok, i like canadians
Oct 11 22:58:17 <sd88g93> well, most
Oct 11 22:58:18 * rdrake muzzles md
Oct 11 22:58:23 <md> that's not ok; your still an american
Oct 11 22:58:36 <sd88g93> i only like the ones with 10 fingers and 10 toes though
Oct 11 22:58:47 <md> but I won't hold it against you quite yet...
Oct 11 22:58:51 * niko has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
Oct 11 22:58:53 <md> what do you mean by that?
Oct 11 22:59:05 <md> we don't all live in igloos you know
Oct 11 22:59:12 <md> some of us have wood huts
Oct 11 22:59:15 <sd88g93> but some do , right ?
Oct 11 22:59:24 * rdrake shrugs
Oct 11 22:59:25 <md> ...
Oct 11 22:59:29 <rdrake> it was 23 degrees this weekend...
Oct 11 22:59:32 <sd88g93> i wish i lived in an iggloo, those huts are kinda cool lookin

Oct 11 23:00:21 <md> oh yeah, it's as funny as CNN
Oct 11 23:00:21 <sd88g93> hah! a canadian that doesnt like Red Green ?
Oct 11 23:00:29 <rdrake> most don't like him...

Oct 11 23:00:51 <rdrake> interesting
Oct 11 23:01:13 <sd88g93> i bet you all like Tim Horton's coffee ? right ?
Oct 11 23:01:17 <rdrake> I hate coffee
Oct 11 23:01:23 <rdrake> you'd be hard pressed to find somebody in here who does like that show
Oct 11 23:01:40 <sd88g93> well i dont really like it either , so there
Oct 11 23:01:40 <rdrake> their hot chocolate is decent
Oct 11 23:01:48 <rdrake> donuts aren't bad either
Oct 11 23:02:01 <rdrake> 3x less unhealthy than krispy kreme's
Oct 11 23:02:07 <rdrake> go Canada
Oct 11 23:02:07 <sd88g93> actually, i think tim horton coffee is better than starbucks
Oct 11 23:02:12 <rdrake> starbucks sucks
Oct 11 23:02:15 * md wonders if sd88g93 can name the president of Canada
Oct 11 23:02:18 <rdrake> they wanted $5 for a hot chocolate
Oct 11 23:02:23 <rdrake> I told them where to go
Oct 11 23:02:29 <sd88g93> starbucks coffee just tastes burnt
Oct 11 23:02:33 <rdrake> yes, our president
Oct 11 23:02:39 <rdrake> good fellow
Oct 11 23:02:53 <sd88g93> president ? i thought you had a prime minister , not a president
Oct 11 23:02:54 <md> not really, but I'll let that slide
Oct 11 23:02:58 <rdrake> white, christian, male... what more could one want?
Oct 11 23:03:02 <md> ooo, he's not a complete write off!
Oct 11 23:03:07 <rdrake> most excellent

Oct 11 23:03:34 * md gives channel half-operator status to md
Oct 11 23:03:36 <rdrake> uh...
Oct 11 23:03:37 * md removes channel operator status from md
Oct 11 23:03:42 <md> no...
Oct 11 23:03:49 <rdrake> not while I was alive
Oct 11 23:03:52 <sd88g93> i must have the name wrong
Oct 11 23:03:54 <md> never actually
Oct 11 23:03:58 <md> paul matin?
Oct 11 23:04:09 <md> **martin
Oct 11 23:04:09 <rdrake> could be him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_O%27Neill_%28author%29
Oct 11 23:04:10 <sd88g93> oh ok, paul martin that's what i meant
Oct 11 23:04:14 <rdrake> used to be
Oct 11 23:04:15 <md> close
Oct 11 23:04:23 <rdrake> he was the last one, voted out a while ago
Oct 11 23:04:35 <sd88g93> what's the current one ?
Oct 11 23:04:43 <rdrake> Stephen Harper
Oct 11 23:04:44 <sd88g93> i knew it once, but forgot it
Oct 11 23:04:53 <rdrake> Bush Jr.
Oct 11 23:04:55 <sd88g93> Harper is a conservative , right ?
Oct 11 23:04:59 <rdrake> yes
Oct 11 23:05:02 <rdrake> same shit, different pile
Oct 11 23:05:14 <sd88g93> finally ! a conservative in your gov't !
Oct 11 23:05:20 <rdrake> yes, and he's white!
Oct 11 23:05:22 <rdrake> and a christian
Oct 11 23:05:26 <rdrake> and male, goddamn we're good
Oct 11 23:05:42 <rdrake> he's also banned gay marriage and such
Oct 11 23:05:43 <rdrake> good man
Oct 11 23:05:56 >TheFerret< I'm being sarcastic, don't worry
Oct 11 23:06:02 <sd88g93> he got the votes to do that ?
Oct 11 23:06:08 <rdrake> sadly
Oct 11 23:06:20 <md> conservatives are evil, you know that right?
Oct 11 23:06:33 <rdrake> liberals are jerks too
Oct 11 23:06:37 <rdrake> cut millions from my uni
Oct 11 23:06:40 <md> also, canadian politics are much more left then american politics
Oct 11 23:06:41 * rdrake slaps them both
Oct 11 23:06:46 <md> rdrake, voce ndp
Oct 11 23:06:48 <md> **vote
Oct 11 23:06:55 <rdrake> aye, gotta wait 2 years is it?
Oct 11 23:07:08 <rdrake> municipals a month and 2 days away
Oct 11 23:07:11 <md> unless the minority government falls
Oct 11 23:07:21 <rdrake> ...which it probably will
Oct 11 23:08:04 <rdrake> md, did you see the new log cabin I'm building?
Oct 11 23:08:06 <sd88g93> did they legalize cannabis there ? or did that fall through ?
Oct 11 23:08:22 <rdrake> it went through at one point
Oct 11 23:08:27 <rdrake> then bam, voted out
Oct 11 23:09:09 <md> new log cabin?
Oct 11 23:09:11 <md> not!
Oct 11 23:09:15 <md> err... hot!
Oct 11 23:09:18 <rdrake> check it out: http://www.coldspring.govoffice.com/vertical/Sites/%7B01184721-7780-4C87-A564-E6EF5442EC4F%7D/uploads/%7BE081A4B4-B5B0-4126-A6A9-8DB9623A124D%7D.JPG
Oct 11 23:09:21 <rdrake> like that
Oct 11 23:09:30 <md> sweet
Oct 11 23:09:30 <rdrake> needs an outhouse though, my balls are going to freeze off in the winter
Oct 11 23:09:37 <rdrake> at least I have a place to keep my beer though, in the snow
Oct 11 23:09:43 <md> yeah
Oct 11 23:09:47 <md> cold beer is key
Oct 11 23:09:49 <rdrake> and the dogs can come in too, it'll be nice and warm for them
Oct 11 23:09:50 <sd88g93> won't it freeze ?
Oct 11 23:09:52 <rdrake> nah
Oct 11 23:09:59 <rdrake> Canadian beer contains antifreeze
Oct 11 23:10:03 <md> beer doesn't freeze at 0
Oct 11 23:10:09 <rdrake> or - 40
Oct 11 23:10:10 <sd88g93> what kind of beer ?
Oct 11 23:10:19 <md> canadian beer is actualy *strong*, not like american beer
Oct 11 23:10:24 <md> keiths!
Oct 11 23:10:27 <rdrake> no, it's not cold urine
Oct 11 23:10:31 <md> or Upper Canada Dark
Oct 11 23:10:37 <md> maybe even Stella
Oct 11 23:10:55 <sd88g93> my favorite beer is Newcastle, from england
Oct 11 23:11:05 <sd88g93> good brown ale
Oct 11 23:11:09 * Hikaru79__ (Adrian@rn-revecb15.uwaterloo.ca) has joined #compsci.ca
Oct 11 23:11:26 * Minsc (minsc@rn-revneb02.uwaterloo.ca) has joined #compsci.ca
Oct 11 23:11:26 * X3 gives channel operator status to Minsc
Oct 11 23:12:08 <rdrake> my beaver got out this morning
Oct 11 23:12:10 <rdrake> I was pissed
Oct 11 23:12:15 <sd88g93> Molsen beer is pretty light, very weak
Oct 11 23:12:16 <rdrake> and it must've been -10 outside too
Oct 11 23:12:37 <rdrake> md, don't you hate when that happens?
Oct 11 23:12:55 <sd88g93> i hate it when my beavers break loose
Oct 11 23:12:59 <rdrake> same
Oct 11 23:13:00 * Minsc_ has quit (Ping timeout)
Oct 11 23:13:01 <rdrake> bastards
Oct 11 23:13:06 <md> totoally
Oct 11 23:13:13 * Hikaru79_ has quit (Ping timeout)
Oct 11 23:13:14 <md> they are so hard to find too
Oct 11 23:13:15 <rdrake> I chase it with a sharp stick
Oct 11 23:13:21 <rdrake> but it just chews it up
Oct 11 23:13:25 <md> a sharp stick eh?
Oct 11 23:13:27 <rdrake> indeed
Oct 11 23:13:38 <md> I just throw snowbals at mine until he gets bored and comes back in
Oct 11 23:13:46 <rdrake> good idea
Oct 11 23:13:55 <rdrake> they usually try and go for the river though, hide in the den
Oct 11 23:14:00 <rdrake> I smoke 'em out
Oct 11 23:14:12 <sd88g93> are they mean ?
Oct 11 23:14:19 <md> nah
Oct 11 23:14:22 <rdrake> they try to bite, gotta be careful
Oct 11 23:14:22 <md> not if you tame them
Oct 11 23:14:26 <rdrake> but only if you're mean back
Oct 11 23:14:28 <md> yu're bites?
Oct 11 23:14:32 <rdrake> sometimes
Oct 11 23:14:36 <md> I taught mine only to bite my brother
Oct 11 23:14:38 <rdrake> it's a jerk
Oct 11 23:14:46 <rdrake> should bring it over to you, you can train it
Oct 11 23:14:52 <rdrake> after all, you're only a few cabins over
Oct 11 23:15:10 <sd88g93> what part of canada you fellows in ?
Oct 11 23:15:23 <rdrake> Canada's pretty small
Oct 11 23:15:33 <rdrake> we're around the Arctic
Oct 11 23:15:38 <rdrake> that's why it's so damn cold
Oct 11 23:15:50 <md> we get daylight 24 hours a day half hte year
Oct 11 23:15:52 <md> lots of fun
Oct 11 23:15:55 <rdrake> indeed, it's hard to sleep
Oct 11 23:15:56 <sd88g93> yes, i have such high hopes on this global warming idea
Oct 11 23:16:00 <rdrake> takes a while to get used to
Oct 11 23:16:02 <rdrake> oh us too
Oct 11 23:16:07 <md> I dunno
Oct 11 23:16:07 <rdrake> those polar bears terrorize our villages
Oct 11 23:16:15 <rdrake> eating all the seal blubber
Oct 11 23:16:18 <md> but if it's warmer they'll come closer
Oct 11 23:16:21 <rdrake> true
Oct 11 23:16:27 <md> better get more ammo
Oct 11 23:16:31 <rdrake> agreed
Oct 11 23:16:35 <rdrake> I just use a bow and arrow
Oct 11 23:16:45 <rdrake> easier that way
Oct 11 23:16:48 <sd88g93> ever see a polar bear ?
Oct 11 23:16:50 <rdrake> yup
Oct 11 23:16:54 <md> all the time
Oct 11 23:16:55 <rdrake> they come around every so often
Oct 11 23:16:59 <rdrake> more to md's
Oct 11 23:17:02 <rdrake> he leaves garbage on his lawn
Oct 11 23:17:03 <rdrake> jerk
Oct 11 23:17:07 <sd88g93> there are black bears around here
Oct 11 23:17:13 <rdrake> too cold for them
Oct 11 23:17:32 <md> bears: nature's garbage disposals
Oct 11 23:17:41 <rdrake> just as God intended
Oct 11 23:17:45 <md> yup

Oct 11 23:18:40 <rdrake> hopefully I can get to the satellite tomorrow to come back
