@Matthew Dropped in a slightly-more-verbose answer there. Almost added in "maybe you need to read the FAW" before I saw the guy's 3k rep. He should know better.

Henry WH Hack

I don't use social media the NSA

Xander

@HenryWHHack Did you get your iPhone because you didn't like the Android?

Mark Buffalo

@HerringboneCat My profile is bare bones, and missing stuff

Henry WH Hack

@Xander I love android

Xander

@HenryWHHack Then why switch to an iPhone?

Mark Buffalo

@HenryWHHack Do you work for the NSA?

Henry WH Hack

Mark Buffalo

@HenryWHHack Hmm, but when we asked what kind of phone you had, you said:

1 hour ago, by Henry WH Hack

Mark Buffalo

Henry WH Hack

@DavidFreitag this will be awfully meta when it pops up

Henry WH Hack

It is still android

kalina

diagprov

Did Ovid not ban the bot?

kalina

Xander

@HenryWHHack Hmm...That's not actually a phone.

kalina

22:17

because 0/10 would elect again

not

I feel like there may be an echo in here

Henry WH Hack

@Xander It is running android

Xander

Does anyone hear an echo in here?

SEJPM

echo....

Xander

@HenryWHHack But I asked you what phone you had.

@HenryWHHack So what phone do you have?

Mark Buffalo

@HenryWHHack Oh wait, you don't have any friends... that's why you're in here trolling

kalina

@MarkBuffalo is that why you're here trolling?

Mark Buffalo

@kalina ouch, kalina... that cut me deep :(

kalina

22:22

Henry WH Hack

Xander

@HenryWHHack Have we sent you into a loop?

Henry WH Hack

22:24

@MarkBuffalo enemy of steve jobs

Mark Buffalo

@AviD I swear to Benjamin Netanyahu, get rid of this crap.

kalina

Oh well obvious wink it looks like a completely harmless bot exaggerated sigh as it is complete inert we can continue our in depth discussion on how we are going to kill the President by using light energy fired from satellites in orbit around the planet big nod

David Freitag

@kalina Story of my life

Mark Buffalo

@kalina welp. there I am... on the list again

cries in the corner while the NSA watches

kalina

@DavidFreitag aw :(

AviD

22:25

@MarkBuffalo why in the world would you think that would have the effect you want it to?

Mark Buffalo

@AviD Swearing to Benny?

kalina

@AviD I have to ask, why aren't you doing anything?

diagprov

@MarkBuffalo I'm sorely tempted to flag and unleash the blue kraken

David Freitag

@AviD Hey I thought you said you'd leave it for a few days :[

AviD

@kalina umm, cuz I was eating?

and now, cuz I'm chatting with you?

kalina

22:26

past tense?

interesting

AviD

@DavidFreitag thought I did

David Freitag

@AviD It's back to @AviD now

AviD

heh @Xander you ninja you

kalina

inb4 room timeout for no obvious reason

AviD

but my hammer hits harder

kalina

22:27

is that a euphemism?

David Freitag

@AviD Only because your waistline is bigger

AviD

if you'd like. ;-)

Journeyman Geek

heh

AviD

@DavidFreitag oh. must have refreshed from the site again. :-(

Xander

@AviD I dunno. You kicked him for 2 minutes. I kicked him for 5.

AviD

22:27

@DavidFreitag unlikely.

Mark Buffalo

Bill Gates iPhone Steve Jobs Windows Phone. Enemy of Bill Gates. Enemy of Steve Phones. Android, iPad, iOS

Journeyman Geek

wields the *Hammer of Dog*

kalina

who kicked him for 12 hours?

because that person is the best mod

David Freitag

@AviD Ah well, no need to pollute the site with our chat antics

AviD

@Xander try 12. and hours. and not just this room.

kalina

22:27

it obviously wasn't @AviD

Mark Buffalo

oh he's gone

OH THANK GOD

kalina

there is no god

Xander

@AviD Did you? Well done.

AviD

@kalina awwwww sweeeet

Mark Buffalo

@kalina is too

AviD

22:28

@kalina lol

Mark Buffalo

@AviD I love you once again

kalina

@MarkBuffalo no

David Freitag

@kalina just said @AviD is best mod, that's right you heard it here

kalina

@AviD damn

Mark Buffalo

@kalina yes

kalina

22:28

@MarkBuffalo no

Journeyman Geek

@AviD I'm out of the loop for 10 days or so, but if that chap is around when I get back and is just as annoying, can I chat-suspend him?

AviD

oh wait, you were saying that in response to his "thank god". I thought you meant it because you said I'm the best mod...

Mark Buffalo

@kalina yes ad infinitum

David Freitag

@MarkBuffalo Prove it.

AviD

@MarkBuffalo of course you do.

Mark Buffalo

22:29

@DavidFreitag ok, wait until you die and I'll be there to troll you

Journeyman Geek

I don't want to step on yer toes or anything, but as a room regular and a foreign mod...

Xander

Oh yay. I got a new shiny for telling guy on meta that his legal question was a legal quesiton.

AviD

@JourneymanGeek isnt it YOUR bot?

kalina

@MarkBuffalo you should know better than to use cheap tricks in an attempt to exit a circular argument with a woman, I believe the accepted convention is just giving up

David Freitag

@MarkBuffalo I said you prove it

Journeyman Geek

22:29

Nope

Xander

@AviD BAH

AviD

@DavidFreitag prove its wrong.

Mark Buffalo

@kalina It's too late, we're caught in an eternal struggle of yes/no

David Freitag

@AviD That's not how this works.

Journeyman Geek

@AviD else I would replace him with a very small shell script

kalina

22:30

@MarkBuffalo it's your eternal struggle, I'm fine with repeating myself

AviD

@DavidFreitag okay, then define a set of tests that will be sufficient proof.

Mark Buffalo

@kalina my words generate an infinite loop, so I'm ok with having them do the work for me

David Freitag

@AviD Exactly.

AviD

@DavidFreitag My point.

kalina

@MarkBuffalo no, because all I'd have to do is respond with the same stupidness, so - let's assume I have, now we're stuck in an infinite loop

GOOD JOB MARK

David Freitag

22:31

LOL

AviD

WAIT WHAT

David Freitag

#rekt

So, uh, about that hammer hitting real hard?

kalina

oh yes, harder

I mean, what

SEJPM

@kalina pls

AviD

ah - suspension means he cant chat, but he can be IN the chat.

David Freitag

22:32

@kalina and faster

Don't forget faster.

kalina

this is too deep

AviD

@DavidFreitag sometimes slower too.

kalina

let's move along

Mark Buffalo

@kalina thanks, I thought so

AviD

@kalina good idea.

kalina

22:32

@MarkBuffalo since you did the stupid, you lost

don't be so proud of yourself

AviD

@kalina MARKUS YOU DID SIMON??

David Freitag

Futurama - Aww yeah

►

kalina

you're all perverts

AviD

thank you for deleting that

my eyes are bleeding

Mark Buffalo

sorry, I felt bad about it

:(

SEJPM

22:34

@kalina what did you expect here in the DMZ?

kalina

I need something to do for 26 minutes and then I'm going to sleep

David Freitag

@AviD Is that why my face is bleeding?

@kalina ( ͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)

Rоry McCune

@kalina midnight is sleepy time?

kalina

@DavidFreitag lol ...

Mark Buffalo

@DavidFreitag oh my goody two shoes

kalina

22:35

@SEJPM pls I'm #2 by messages posted, I expected it would have diluted the nonsense a bit but NOOOOOOO @AviD just stepped up his output instead

David Freitag

@kalina I don't know what you will do with the other 25 minutes.

AviD

wait what

:P

Mark Buffalo

dude. wtf

AviD

I DID NOT MEAN TO TAKE IT THERE

I claim Hanlon's Razor.

kalina

well that was fun

23 minutes

David Freitag

22:37

The fuck happened in here

SEJPM

WTF IS THAT (REMOVED) SPAM

AviD

@kalina lol, seeee?

David Freitag

I leave for two minutes

Rоry McCune

@kalina why don't you tell us about your next track?

kalina

@SEJPM you don't know if it's spam or not, since it's (removed)

Mark Buffalo

22:37

@RоryMcCune I missed the "t" in there when reading it at first glance

kalina

@RоryMcCune pls nobody in here likes edm

SEJPM

@kalina IT'S SPAM OF "(REMOVED)"!

Mark Buffalo

along with some other important details

Rоry McCune

@kalina I do, as does @DavidFreitag

kalina

no

@MarkBuffalo pervert

Rоry McCune

22:38

in fact if he knew your IRL identity I bet he'd know who you were

kalina

all the more reason not to perhaps

I mean like opsec and all that

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune I have given up on that one

kalina

hey guys I've finished a new track here is a link oh look it's suddenly in some charts someplace I recognize that you're <x>... busted

Rоry McCune

@kalina phhbt opsec is over-rated

besides what else you going to do for the next 21 minutes

kalina

well it's actually 20 minutes

David Freitag

22:39

@RоryMcCune ( ͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)

diagprov

@kalina I am apparently listening to EDM right now, at least according to last.fm's tags. This might not be right, but hey.

Rоry McCune

@kalina well it is now

kalina

well time must run slightly slower for you, probably because it's so cold

David Freitag

@kalina Time runs slower in the highlands

Rоry McCune

@kalina yeah all the little light photons get cold so have to put on their warm jackets which slows them down

David Freitag

22:41

@RоryMcCune The light slows down to observe the picturesque scenery

kalina

I figured it would be something like that

diagprov

@RоryMcCune They also have to buy some whiskey and shortbread while they're there.

kalina

I guess I'll just go to bed early

BYE

Rоry McCune

@kalina o/

David Freitag

pfft set bed time

Hello

David Freitag

I need some antihistamines stat

in The Comms Room, Jan 27 '11 at 15:25, by SmallClanger

Can't tell if it's a mouse or a panty liner.

Rory Alsop

Are you still reading shitsesays

David Freitag

Yeah my mind stopped functioning hours ago

Q: You've Probably Seen Me Naked

As an alphabet aficionado, I can make you laugh long into the night. As a make of Japanese vehicle, I can keep your surroundings clean and beautiful. As an execution apparatus, I make you laugh despite not maturing. As a mixed-up romance, I lead tens of millions. As a gardening tool, I...

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop Hah, already posted it in here

Rory Alsop

That is good

David Freitag

6 hours ago, by kalina

I don't remember seeing @DavidFreitag naked

Rory Alsop

Hmmmmmmmmm

It's still good

My apologies for not managing the full transcript

Xander

@RoryAlsop I'd question if you were human if you could. It's been insane in here the last couple of days.

AviD

23:14

@Xander "the last couple of days"

Thomas Pornin

@AviD It has been insane for a lot longer, but in the last two days the insanity has been more length-oriented than usual.

AviD

fair enough

Thomas Pornin

@RoryAlsop I sense impeding drama.

AviD

although, I should point out that if we continue at the present velocity, we will be reaching 1M messages in this room pretty soon.

Xander

Didn't we decide that we didn't need tags for specific windows versions?

Thomas Pornin

23:19

@AviD I am not sure I would like to include that particular feat on my CV.

Xander

There are a lot of questions tagged windows-10

AviD

@ThomasPornin hehe

Xander

@AviD Really? Huh,.

Thomas Pornin

@Xander According to Microsoft, Windows 10 is the last version ever of Windows.

AviD

client windows

windows server will continue

Xander

23:20

@ThomasPornin But a version none the less. I though we got rid of all the Windows XP, and Window 7 tags, and so forth.

Thomas Pornin

@Xander If mods want to massive-retag and make synonyms, I have no opposition.

Xander

We're down to 10 questions with windows-xp, none with windows-7, (yay!) 50(!!) with windows-8 and now 32 with windows-10.

And many (most?) are repetitively tagged as windows

Gilles

@Xander not that I can find on meta

Rory Alsop

yay - my Workplace rep has just matched my Gardening rep :-)

AviD

@Xander are any of them actually about a specific version?

like e.g. does windows 10 spy on you

Thomas Pornin

23:35

@RoryAlsop This would be only natural if you were a gardener by trade.

Rory Alsop

@ThomasPornin yeah - I'm really not. I'm a keen amateur gardener

admittedly my rep is sub 1500 on each of those sites, so it's nothing special, but it amused me it has taken me this long

Rory Alsop

23:48

@DavidFreitag how long has your avatar been Bender?

You can tell I don't usually see avatars in chat
