I could provide proof but that's not how I roll

AviD

@kalina s/could/should/

kalina

nope

I don't feel it's relevant enough to prove to a bunch of people I don't really know

and I'm certainly not breaching my privacy to do so

AviD

oh totally agree on that. Would be fun for us, though.

haha, sometimes Internet comments earns it's keep.

> Having a religion is kinda like having a penis. It's okay to have one, but when you start waving it in people's faces, it's a problem.

kalina

@AviD last time I posted a picture of myself on the internet, it got defaced, somebody edited it over a picture from a porn scene

it's never going to happen again

AviD

@kalina suuure, like that wasnt the original. It was an "edit" ;-)

kalina

11:18

...

AviD

Let's be honest, that is what half the kids here are hoping to see.

kalina

I am completely anti-pornography, the internet found my weakness and exploited it

AviD

and you are totally right not to do it.

kalina

It's one of the few times the internet has actually been able to upset me

AviD

@kalina The internet tends to do that.

kalina

11:19

and I know that now

AviD

@kalina I feel like "the internet" should be in airquotes there.

kalina

Not to mention that at the time I was < 16, so editing a picture of me in that way was a criminal offence in literally every country in the world

AviD

@kalina oo nasty.

well, no, not every country. Sadly.

I'd like to find the prick that did that and fit him for a giraffe chair.

child pornography is no joke, even if its an "edit".

kalina

It was also that day that it became obvious that I should never be given unrestricted moderation access to anything

since I essentially destroyed the forums it was posted on

AviD

heh. collateral damage.

kalina

11:25

It's also that day where I got associated with setting fire to things

overall, it was a pretty important day in my internet history

AviD

and at such a young age....

kalina

it wasn't my first lesson

my first lesson was a few years earlier when I was briefly being considered as a future IRCOp on Quakenet

AviD

and so much rage.

There is still good in the Internet, I can feel it.

kalina

and learned that some people are such cowards that they will act friendly to your face and stab you in the back repeatedly the second you're unable to defend yourself

but that's more of a life lesson than an internet lesson

Adnan

@Xander Where did you see that information? (the first sentence)

kalina

11:33

@Adnan /review -> stats

l2se

Adnan

@kalina Nope.

kalina

@Adnan tis too

Adnan

@kalina That's for each review queue separately.

I wanna see for all review queues combined

kalina

that's all of the information available

the next word you want is called "collation"

Terry Chia

@Adnan What's 1+1?

kalina

11:35

@TerryChia 11

Adnan

@TerryChia Jesus fucking Christ!

kalina

everybody knows that

@Adnan flagged for misuse of the name of the son of an imaginary deity

Terry Chia

@kalina 0 carry 1 actually. ;)

Adnan

@TerryChia I know how to see the total number of my reviews. I want to see the Top 10 of all reviews.

Just like @Xander did

kalina

@Adnan He didn't, he collated

I know this to be fact, as the functionality you're looking for is not present

Adnan

11:37

@kalina Then how THE FUCK did he find out I'm #2?

kalina

This is not the functionality you're looking for

Terry Chia

@Adnan He can see your review count as well.....

kalina

@Adnan IF I HAD ACCESS TO YOUR REVIEW QUEUES I'D DO IT FOR YOU

Adnan

@TerryChia Yeah? So he went an counted the totals for EVERYBODY to find out who's #1 and who's number #2?

Nonsense!

AviD

@Adnan hmm, maybe he threw them all into an excel?

Terry Chia

11:38

@Adnan He has 896 first post reviews. Obviously he spends a lot of time on that page.

AviD

Has @iszi been around?

hmm, are these stats available on Stack Exchange Data Explorer?

Adnan

@AviD Alright, that makes more sense.

kalina

Closes -> Adnan is 4th, First Posts -> Adnan is 3rd, Late Answers -> Adnan is 2nd, Low Quality -> Adnan is 1st, Reopen -> Adnan is 1st,

Adnan

@AviD Nope. I wish

kalina

SEEMS PRETTY FUCKING OBVIOUS TO THE REST OF US THAT AVERAGES OUT TO 2ND(ish)

gives @Adnan the dunce hat

points to a corner

Adnan

11:39

@kalina Well, I FUCKING KNOW THIS!!! IT'S ALREADY FUCKING THERE!

AviD

@kalina well, math is not a required skill for reviewing.

ManishEarth

@kalina The average of the ranks is not the net rank

AviD

@Adnan @kalina cmon you guys, just get a room already.

Adnan

@kalina GTFO for misusing averages.

AviD

Your shameless flirting is shameless.

Adnan

11:40

@ManishEarth Thank you.

ManishEarth

I can be fifth in all review queues but first overall

math

kalina

facedesk

Terry Chia

@AviD Perhaps this is a cover up and they are having a saucy conversation over on IRC?

AviD

@ManishEarth note the use of the attribute "ish".

kalina

@AviD thanks for being the sensible one of the bunch

Adnan

11:41

@AviD Hey hey.. also you. You agreed with her.

AviD

@TerryChia no, this is a coverup for the fact that @kalina IS @Adnan.

ManishEarth

@AviD Yes, but the ish was "or lower", as it validates adnan's point otherwise

Terry Chia

@AviD Damn! Mind === blown.

AviD

@kalina This. Always this.

kalina

@ManishEarth nothing validates @Adnan

Adnan

11:41

@AviD Faaauck!

AviD

@TerryChia inappropriate notation.

Terry Chia

@AviD Better?

AviD

@TerryChia I'm not sure if you meant "Mind==Blown", noting that they are equivalent, or if you in fact intended to apply the single "=".

Terry Chia

@AviD Because PHP.

kalina

All I need to do is stir the pot occasionally in here, the rest of the time it breaks down to arguments about semantics

AviD

11:43

irrelevant of that, the "Mind" object can never have, or be equivalent, to "Blown" values. "Blown" would be a method, or possibly a state, on the "Mind".

so it should be "Mind.Blown();", or even "Mind.Blown = true;"

Terry Chia

I've got a new drinking game. Down a shot every time @kalina gets into a fight with @Adnan.

ManishEarth

trudat

AviD

@TerryChia well that was for the pre-edit. but my point still stands.

kalina

@TerryChia we don't fight, fight indicates he hasn't lost before I start

1 min ago, by kalina

All I need to do is stir the pot occasionally in here, the rest of the time it breaks down to arguments about semantics

I'll be back in 20 minutes to stir the pot again

Terry Chia

@ManishEarth Hah! Talking about validating XML files, I still can't fucking figure out how to get the unicode replacement character into an atom feed.

AviD

11:45

@kalina semantics are the best part!

Adnan

That AI voice in Portal is a bitch!

AviD

@Adnan I bet it was @kalina's voice.

ManishEarth

@Adnan the cake is a liiiiieeee

Terry Chia

I've got a new drinking game. Down a shot every time @Adnan gets pissed off by @kalina. (Better?)

Adnan

Also, Test Chamber 18 is difficult :(

@AviD Duuuude! NO!

AviD

11:46

Or at least, you hear @kalina's comments in Portal Ai's voice.

kalina

@Adnan This is your fault. I'm going to kill you. And all the cake is gone. You don't even care, do you?

@Adnan Did you know you can donate one or all of your vital organs to the Aperture Science Self Esteem Fund for Girls? It's true!

@Adnan Remember, the Aperture Science Bring Your Daughter to Work Day is the perfect time to have her tested.

@Adnan Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.

AviD

@kalina le petite morte?

Adnan

@kalina I dislike you a little bit, just a liiitle bit less now.

Terry Chia

@AviD Actually, Mind = blown can mean I'm assigning "blown" to the mind variable. Which sorta makes sense.

AviD

@TerryChia no, that's what I was saying - it does NOT make sense.

for one, they are of completely different types, and secondly "blown" is not an object, it is either a method or a state (property).

kalina

11:48

@TerryChia only if you're later performing comparisons on the value of a string rather than the state of an object - and if you're doing that, step away from the PC you heathen.

AviD

@kalina good point.

kalina

also that is the extent of my computer programming knowledge

so don't talk to me like I know anything else

AviD

haha

talk about heathens.

kalina

I like the word

Please be advised that a noticeable taste of blood is not part of any test protocol but is an unintended side effect of the Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grid, which may, in semi-rare cases, emancipate dental fillings, crowns, tooth enamel, and teeth.

Have I lied to you? ...(pause)... ... I mean, in this room?

kalina

12:11

I think @TerryChia stepped away from the PC

I didn't mean actually step away

nooooo chat has gone quiet, what am I going to do now?

clicks The Bridge

ManishEarth

@kalina I'm here

Simon

k bye

ManishEarth

hah

They're all lurking, waiting for you to go away so they can talk seeryous stuff

kalina

@ManishEarth hello not-quite-my-favourite-mod-but-still-pretty-high-up-the-list o/

ManishEarth

\o

Simon

12:12

lulz

ManishEarth

If I'm high up on the list, you must know some pretty shitty mods :P

kalina

I'm from Arqade. Go figure.

Simon

She has a problem with the authority, just like most girls from late 80's/early 90's.

Terry Chia

@ManishEarth We should introduce her to @JeffF.

ManishEarth

@TerryChia Why Jeff? Jeff's a good mod

Terry Chia

12:14

@ManishEarth He works for Facebook. Nuff said.

ManishEarth

oh that

Terry Chia

Oh, and he worked for Oracle. For about a week anyway.

Pretty shitty employment choices. ;)

Kidding, kidding.

Except for the Oracle one.

kalina

the days after I deleted my account, so many different mods who had never dealt with me said so many negative and/or biased things about me to randoms I've never spoken to

Simon

omg dey b bad pplz

AviD

@kalina ooo yay! that means that I am your favorite mod?? puts away asbestos suit

kalina

12:17

@Simon actually my problem isn't with authority, I feel I rarely do anything that requires an authority figure to get involved - from my point of view most of it is other people not being willing to understand what I'm saying and/or automatically assuming sides because of who is involved

Simon

You've pretty much just described any experience at any workplace in the damn world.

kalina

most of my major reactions have been about abuse of privileges

AviD

Hey @Simon:

Simon

Well, you seem to have a negative attitude in general which might scare some people off.

kalina

@Simon I'm not negative, I'm realistic

Simon

12:19

@AviD Dude... it's damn cold this morning it's not even funny :(

AviD

@Simon not in the good places, anyway.

Simon

@kalina Whateva floats le boat-

AviD

@kalina that is a certain point of view... ;-)

Terry Chia

@kalina You need to present your point of view in a more polite way.

Except with @Adnan of course, it's fun watching you two squabble.

@Simon Migrate to Singapore then.

Simon

@TerryChia You mean watching them making out.

@TerryChia NO.

The next Hitler will be Singaporean.

kalina

12:25

that's fine, we can just nuke Singapore

nobody would even really notice

AviD

only way to be sure

kalina

they've got no oil so a ground assault isn't required

Simon

lulz

'MERICA

kalina

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS

it's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science: we do what we much, because, we can.

For the good of all us, except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake you just keep on trying till you run out of cake

And the science gets done, and you make a neat gun, for the people who are still alive!

I don't know the rest of it, and cba to google it

Simon

Since you joined the chat, I think the average nerd level went up by 200%.

kalina

12:31

Since I joined chat discussing information security?

that's unbelievable

Simon

I don't like it when people point out that I don't make sense.

So, you should avoid doing so.

kalina

Get used to it, I don't make much sense so I take pride in pointing out when other people don't make sense

Terry Chia

@Simon You don't make sense.

Simon

That's ironic.

kalina

@Simon also, you said "I think", which is HILARIOUS

Simon

12:32

LE FU-

kalina

"the fuck you" ?

Simon

SHE DID IT AGAIN

kalina

Look at me still talking when there's science to do...

When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you

I've experiments to run, there is research to be done, on the people who are still alive

Simon

Hey, I like Portal too but not that much.

kalina

What you mean to say is you never completed Portal and don't know what I'm referring to

Simon

12:34

I completed both.

kalina

and are disguising the fact as "not that interested"

Simon

Daddy @RoryAlsop, sister @kalina is mean to me again.

kalina

I am not a nun

Simon

British/10

kalina

I am in fact a fallen angel

Rory Alsop

12:37

Morning children

Simon

Tyrael?

kalina

I was ejected from heaven after that whole incident in Egypt where I killed all the first borns

dark times

Rory Alsop

for what it's worth, kalina discussing portal definitely does not bring the nerd level up.

Terry Chia

@Simon Man, Diablo III sucks.

Rory Alsop

If she drivers some good portal levels she designed, that could be nerdy

Terry Chia

12:39

They really need to come out with an offline mode.

kalina

@TerryChia they did

it's called "Diablo III for Consoles"

Rory Alsop

@kalina - sound like you are a Metallica fan...?

Terry Chia

@kalina Meh. Don't own a console. Never will own a console.

Simon

Diablo is dead. They will NEVER make something as good as DII.

DADDY @ScottPack <3

Scott Pack

Herro

Terry Chia

12:39

@Simon Man, I loved D2.

kalina

@RoryAlsop I... don't... metal... like... eugh... brain melts

Rory Alsop

Herro @scott

kalina

@Simon Diablo 2 wasn't made by the same people as Diablo 3, of course it's not going to be as good

Simon

@TerryChia I liked it a bit too much.

Terry Chia

I grinded out an Infinity runeword and an Enigma in Single player.

Simon

12:40

I hated single player, unless my Internet was down.

Rory Alsop

@kalina - but you know the lyrics to Creeping Dwath

kalina

@RoryAlsop what?

Rory Alsop

Or Death, even

Terry Chia

I also had a sick classic barb that owns in BvB.

Rory Alsop

Just up there, I wu

saw you....

Simon

12:41

My favorite general PvP character was a blizz sorc, unless those fucking Druids were sorbing my ass.

Rory Alsop

gawd, autocomplete sucks

kalina

I did not intentionally do or say anything related to any Metallica lyrics

discipline priest > *

oh wait, Diablo

right...

Scott Pack

@TildalWave That's pretty amazing.

Rory Alsop

... your subconscious did it

kalina

@RoryAlsop what did I even say?

Terry Chia

12:42

@Simon I hate the PvP in LoD. Assasins were so OP.

kalina

TELL ME

Scott Pack

I really like PvP but I'm getting really annoyed that the rss feed only updates every few months and isn't in order.

Terry Chia

Classic PvP is awesome though.

Simon

@TerryChia I had way more trouble with Druids than Assassins.

@ScottPack wat, have you been drinking again, Daddy?

Terry Chia

@Simon Trappers were gay.

Simon

12:43

@TerryChia Huge fucking pussies, yeah.

Terry Chia

I can't remember the matchups, but they mostly owned.

Rory Alsop

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh's son
I'm creeping death

kalina

@RoryAlsop I didn't write that

Terry Chia

I mostly play Classic on battle.net. I play LoD in single player.

kalina

I think you are mistaken

Rory Alsop

12:44

It was close enough :-)

kalina

no it wasn't

Rory Alsop

You closet metal fan:-)

kalina

it was completely unrelated

Rory Alsop

Hahahahaha

Simon

@RoryAlsop Haha.

kalina

12:44

I DO NOT LIKE METAL ~~"MUSIC"~~ NOISE

Terry Chia

Hmm, I should load up a copy in a VM and start playing again.

Scott Pack

@AviD Not really. The Uncanny X-Men is the classic one, it's the mainline title that's been published since the 60s. Shortly before issue 100 (maybe early 70s) the original team disbanded and the new kids like Colossus and Wolverine joined. Later the original team formed X-Factor.

Simon

@TerryChia If you want your life to go away, sure.

Scott Pack

@AviD Then in 1991 the title 'X-Men' started, which was later renamed to 'New X-Men' which was later renamed back to 'X-Men' which was later renamed to 'X-Men Legacy'.

@AviD And that's about as much as I know.

Simon

He's talking about Marvel again. Sigh.

Rory Alsop

12:45

@scott - x-factor? That hideous talent show? Came from mutants? Explains a lot.

Scott Pack

@RoryAlsop That really fucked up my google searches when I was trying to figure out what the publication history of it was.

kalina

The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

3

Terry Chia

@Simon Heh. I grinded out 3 Bers and a Jah when I last played.

Scott Pack

I love me some Portal.

Terry Chia

I think it took 3 freaking months of non stop Travincal council runs.

Simon

12:47

Ew.

Rory Alsop

Portal rocks. It is the one game I play a few times a week.

Community levels on p1 and p2

just for a quick mental exercise

Terry Chia

I remember botting classic D2 on battle.net as well.

Had a whole team of level 90s on one of the ladders.

AviD

@ScottPack yeah, I got that much. there are like another half dozen titles in parallel, though.

Scott Pack

@AviD Yes.

Simon

Yes.

AviD

12:49

I think it was the X-Factor (is that what they called it?) one that threw me.

Scott Pack

@AviD Me too. I only got into them right about the time that X-Men #1 came out (in 1991) so I always thought of Iceman and Angel as these weird side members.

Thomas Pornin

@Polynomial But 80C51 and Z80-derivatives still power more devices than MIPS and ARM together.

AviD

oh, and all the xmen/avengers switching around...

Simon

Nerd level: OVER 9000.

AviD

I started getting into it when Beast was on the avengers - ish. Really confused me after a while.

Scott Pack

12:50

@AviD Pretty much, yeah.

@AviD Oh wow, that was way before I was born.

Simon

LOL

Scott Pack

@AviD That's Dark Pheonix Saga shit right there.

AviD

nooo.... late 70's, early 80s, IIRC?

Scott Pack

Well, the Beast was in the Avengers during in 1980, but he was never even mentioned in teh main stories by then.

@AviD 1980/81 is when Kitty Pryde joined.

AviD

exactly. but at some point he started coming back, probably with the xfactor storylines. but I knew him as an avenger.

Scott Pack

12:53

And Ilyana had that weird time-shift thing where she aged 7 years and became a sorceress.

Simon

@kalina Please bring the Portal discussion back.

Scott Pack

Yeah, by 1991 he was formally a member of the X-Men again, but I'm not sure when X-Factor started.

kalina

@Simon nope

you can't sit there complaining about me talking about portal and then ask for me to continue after I stop

Simon

@kalina The things I'd do to you.

Scott Pack

Ah, ok, X-Factor 1 was released Feb 1986.

AviD

12:54

@ScottPack oh, yeah - too much timeshifting and retconning to keep track of.

kalina

@Simon I doubt anything you did to me would result in me being satisfied

Simon

@kalina Do you like pain?

Terry Chia

@kalina Ooooooh.

kalina

@Simon Do you like pain?

Simon

@kalina I'd rather not answer this question.

AviD

12:55

:11786222 ooo want that.

course it makes it tricky to track a single, non-spanning storyline, too...

Scott Pack

@AviD Granted.

Simon

@RoryAlsop My mate bought a 01 2.5 RS, we've been working on it for a week now. Even the older models are fun to work on.

AviD

@Simon @kalina - before your childish banter gets out of hand, I refer you to the 2nd pin on the starwall.

Scott Pack

@AviD It was a pretty manual process.

AviD

@ScottPack hmm, we need a proper indexing system, so you can read by title, or by date, or by storyline...

kalina

12:57

@AviD your teenage daughter should already know all about sex

Simon

^

I'm 13 and I know all about it.

AviD

@kalina "know about" != "hang out on sites like this"

kalina

@AviD your teenage daughter should already know all about fire

Scott Pack

@AviD And, moreoever, ebook readers that are smart enough to index that wa.

AviD

@kalina oh please. She IS teenager.

kalina

12:58

@AviD your teenage daughter should already know most men should be avoided

Terry Chia

@AviD New startup idea? ;)

AviD

@ScottPack or cbr viewers.

hmm... summer project.

Simon

@kalina Nah, she'll learn that eventually.

kalina

@AviD your teenage daughter should already know how to rip a man's heart out and stamp on it

AviD

@kalina 'course. She's met me.

Scott Pack

12:58

@AviD I went here to get the publication dates by each title. Turned that into a CSV of "##,YYYY-MM-DD" then a bash script that renamed everything. comicbookdb.com/publisher.php?ID=4

AviD

@kalina ah, that one we're trying to avoid.

kalina

@AviD your teenage daughter should already know the fastest way to a man's heart is through the chest with a knife

Simon

@kalina That will be learned after the "men should be avoided" phase.

Scott Pack

@AviD well, yes, that's really what I meant.

AviD

@kalina hehe

kalina

12:59

and as such

I think the discussion is perfectly acceptable

Scott Pack

@AviD The biggest problem is that the cbr file format doesn't support any kind of metadata, that I know of. It's really just a rar archive full of jpgs.
