@Brant Where'd you get that year from?

Brant

Pretty much just made it up on the spot.

Arda Xi

tcpdump, which most all of this is based on was created in 1987

Brant

I have no actual idea.

Arda Xi

This is much more fun. github.com/jonty/idiocy

Basically, you use it like wardriving

@badp Oh yeah, I'm-stuck-in-a-driver-license-factory Elaine

alexanderpas

@ArdaXi DMV?

Arda Xi

Speaking of Firesheep, you guys wouldn't know a way to access libpcap from Android, would you?

Or how to put it into monitor mode.

alexanderpas

@ArdaXi I see what you want there :D does want too!

Arda Xi

@alexanderpas I got it in promiscuous mode already, and I can capture packets on any public network now, but that's useless if I can't use it.

And my C++ is much too bad to write it in the NDK

and it's much more effective in monitor mode

# ifconfig tiwlan0 monitor
ifconfig: bad address 'monitor'

Q: How do I escape the arena?

The first time I encountered a statue that offered to take me to the arena, I went there. I've now fought to my death several times. When I die, I'm asked if I want to retry. Selecting "yes" brings me back to the arena. Selecting "no" brings me to the title screen (and "continue" from there puts ...

@badp does that link work for everyone else? It just times out for me.

badp

@sjohnston it does for me

@sjohnston works for me on ubuntu.

@badp topic: lanchpad questions might be changed into askubuntu. how more official do you want it.

ARGH!!!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Fix da feeds dammit!

You have italics, therefore, I blame you.

alexanderpas

and @tzenes is still a greenhorn italic, so no blame to him ;)

@LessPop_MoreFizz better?

alexanderpas

@CRoss and that's why they shoudn't break your diamond

LessPop_MoreFizz

21:04

It doesn't fix the underlying problem of them constantly double posting!
!

C. Ross

no, that's why the should fix the feed

well, I'm gone for the weekend

LessPop_MoreFizz

Later

C. Ross

enjoy your feed. Don't be too hard on @badp

Brant

Aargh, the sloppiness of the Shapado default stylesheet hurts my brain

alexanderpas

@CRoss the should fix the feeds... the?

badp

21:05

@LessPop_MoreFizz start blaming yourself.

LessPop_MoreFizz

oh noes.

I don't want responsibility. I just want to yell at the people that already have it!

Oak

21:51

For me all chat issues are badp's fault.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Oak A perfectly sensible and well considered conclusion.

alexanderpas

@Oak has spoken!

Oak

Hey wait a second @Less, you're also italic-ed. Can I blame you too?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Oak @badp gave them to me in a fit of revenge.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz Did you know? Oak is blue.

alexanderpas

21:55

@Oak blame @badp for that.

badp

Blue is much more rad than italic.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp It is. So rad in fact, as to be beyond blame.

alexanderpas

blue has blame immunity.

LessPop_MoreFizz

=D

But I AM blue. Hmm, I guess that means I retain mod power in this room even though all chats are together now.

alexanderpas

21:57

and I'm the laughing bystander in all of this :D

badp

@alexanderpas if that was you asking for italic, it ain't working (from me) :P

Oak

Neither from me, I'm not touching your (@badp 's) things

alexanderpas

@badp in that case it worked, because I wasn't asking.

Arda Xi

Who put @badp in control anyway.

badp

They're @tzenes's things too, does that make them any more touchable?

alexanderpas

21:59

@Oak go wash your mouth!

Oak

@alexanderpas what did I say?

I just had gum

should smell okay

Arda Xi

I think he misconstrued your comment as a euphemism. :)

alexanderpas

@Oak talking about @badp "things".

badp

@ArdaXi blue people who are beyond blame apparently ;)

Arda Xi

What the hell was that sound.

alexanderpas

22:00

@badp your fault!

Oak

LOL

Arda Xi

When did our chat sound change? I just about got used to the old one!

LessPop_MoreFizz

When in doubt, it's @badp's fault.

Arda Xi

When @badp isn't around to blame, we blame @tzenes

badp

hmm, what does that 'cancel stars' button do?

Arda Xi

22:01

Seriously. Who put him in command.

badp

@ArdaXi Blue unblameable creatures.

Arda Xi

@badp At least you're not called 'Fantastic'

:143681 can you appoint multiple owners? if so, make all Gaming SE mods owners.

@alexanderpas all mods have owner access btw

alexanderpas

@badp Aug 31 at 23:31

Arda Xi

I should probably go to bed early today. Gonna spend all day tomorrow in Walibi World :D

badp

22:04

@alexanderpas Yep, I got Marc to migrate both Gaming's Bridge and MSO's Gaming backlog in here, if that's what you mean :P

Oak

@ArdaXi cool, have fun

Arda Xi

@Oak They have guys running around with chainsaws after dark.

alexanderpas

@badp I mean, that was before that feature was implemented.

badp

@alexanderpas which one?

alexanderpas

@badp this one.

badp

22:06

@alexanderpas I think it's always been the case.

Arda Xi

@alexanderpas I don't think it was, if you look at the id in your message

Oak

@Arda well... I guess that's a bit less fun than rollercoasters

Arda Xi

@Oak They have those too.

badp

Message IDs are screwed by migrations.

alexanderpas

at first only MSO mods were chat mods.

Oak

22:08

Okay, does anyone who plays Halo Reach can tell me if this answer is as bullshit as it appeals? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/7913/…

badp

Still, all chat mods had owner access.

What's your point? :)

alexanderpas

@badp the GSE mods weren't chat mods at that time.

badp

@alexanderpas Any MSO mod could've made them owner...

alexanderpas

Aug 31 at 23:31, by alexanderpas

:143681 can you appoint multiple owners? if so, make all Gaming SE mods owners.

badp

You know, those guys exist. Have you tried talking with them?

alexanderpas

22:09

@badp which is exactly what I suggested there.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Oak He's also posted two answers.

badp

@alexanderpas You asked Juan who had owner in the first place.

Aug 31 at 23:29, by Downvoter

I am the owner of the room @Grace

this is what you must have replied to.

alexanderpas

Juan also had mod (I believe), so I did ask a chat mod!

badp

@alexanderpas No, he didn't. He was merely italic.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Oak oh god, all the answers on that question are terrible

alexanderpas

22:13

@badp still, I asked someone with proper permissions to do so. because it wasn't done yet.

badp

@alexanderpas Cool! Now you know who to blame :P

alexanderpas

@badp ever since when are you a Gaming SE mod?

Oak

Deleted his two answers.

Downvoters may request a recalc :)

badp

@alexanderpas If I was a mod I'd be blue and you wouldn't get to blame me.

alexanderpas

@Oak where?

badp

22:15

Downvoter wasn't a mod. He gets to be blamed.

Any questions?

alexanderpas

@badp okay, blame on you!

Oak

@alexanderpas where what?

alexanderpas

1 min ago, by Oak

Downvoters may request a recalc :)

badp

@alexanderpas Flag something of yours for moderator attention and explain you want a recalc.

Oak

@alexanderpas recalc is manual. You have to request it from a mod. You can do it by flagging for mod attention, or you can just ask me here on chat

alexanderpas

22:17

not needed, just wanted to know.

(might ask for a recalc the moment I reach 10K ;))

badp

@alexanderpas So you drop down back to 9k? Not a good move :P

alexanderpas

@badp actually, it is a good move, as it gives me the 10K when I've actually earned it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Oak Consider this a request.

Oak

@Less done

alexanderpas

@badp gimme back that link, wasn't done clicking on it.

badp

22:20

@alexanderpas It wasn't the question I hoped it was.

Oak

Wait, I thought everyone can see the history of messages?

A: How often is reputation recalculated?

A system-wide recalc happens occasionally, for example when the rep rules are tweaked (like this). Other than that, a rep-recalc can be triggered on your account by ♦ moderators: on request if we've done something like merged your account(s) if there is a suspicion of "inappropriate activity" ...

Here we go

@Oak Sure.

alexanderpas

I bet the mods have a single button solution.

Oak

nite!

badp

@Oak night, you blue angel mysterious creature.

I'm leaving too, have fun with the feed bots.

I'm sure @LessPop_MoreFizz knows how to find the message admin tool from the room menu.

alexanderpas

22:27

I'm having ice, so i'm around for a while.

@badp you come back with a global inbox with 250 mentions

badp

@alexanderpas I'll get you a screenshot if that happens

better make that exactly 250 messages, including those you didn't send!

;P

alexanderpas

@badp if that happens... it would be very fun.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Geocities Lives!

alexanderpas

@LessPop_MoreFizz who's going to buy the geocities domain, and put it back on the net?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@alexanderpas It would be hilarious if someone did that.

Brant

22:58

Aiee, the site is down

alexanderpas

@Brant yep, happened exactly while i was reading @badp posts across the network.

Brant

OK, so we need some fancy pictures to put on our scheduled maintenance page like they have on SO: sstatic.net/stackoverflow/app_offline.htm

alexanderpas

@Brant I think we already have a meta-thread for that.

Brant

Well I'd know that if it was online.

alexanderpas

@Brant I would've searched for it if it was online... I blame @badp for this outage!

> Routine maintenance usually takes less than an hour. You may retry your request or if this turns into an extended outage, we will post details on the blog

I can't wait an hour, I need to stalk @badp

Q: How do you hire a Hacker in Game Dev Story?

I'm on my second playthrough of this gaming, choosing the Hire option at least twice per game year, and varying between "Word of Mouth", "Magazine Ad", and "Online Ad" - never seen a Hacker available for hire. Is there something special I have to do?
