Today's Stack Overflow system message reads: SOPA is a dangerous law. It breaks the Internet and threatens sites like Stack Overflow. Protect the Internet! How is it a threat to Stack Overflow?

@JeremyBanks Good times

@MichaelMrozek I'm looking forward to the podcast providing more fuel for the drama.

@JeremyBanks They ignored the Jobs banner on the podcast, so I don't know that they'll even talk about it. But Joel seems pretty fired up about SOPA, so maybe

Ah, moot's finally going to be here? I think that makes SOPA a particularly likely topic of discussion.

The only thing I know about moot is he founded 4chan, so he's starting off at about -6000 points in my mind

@MichaelMrozek You mean OVER NINE TH... never mind, I have to agree.

Looks like someones messing with the webcam already :p

8:56 PM

Still on Livestream then :(

yeah, but we fixed it

Hey all.

Is there supposed to be audio right now?

no

Good. Thanks.

8:58 PM

Afternoon / evening all

@AlexMiller So no more stuttering audio?

Lately, they seem to forget to deploy smooth jazz ;-)

Hey @BrMcMullin

Might I suggest...

@ChrisF Correct

9:01 PM

The obvious solution to that problem was to remove the audio entirely.

@AlexMiller What about robots?

@GraceNote gone too

we're running a little late as usual

We'll see about that!

@JoelSpolsky Wouldn't be the same if you weren't.

The silence is deafening.

9:06 PM

Is there any sound yet? Or am I having issues here?

nothin' yet

guests just arrived

Oh awesome. I think its great that you got moot out here.

Testing, testing, check, check, sausage sandwich, sausage sandwich, purple, purple...

doesn't he have a test FB account?

I was just listening to the podcast he discussed it in last night...

@BrMcMullin That'd be just begging for problems

9:09 PM

Hey, I can sympathize with not having a Facebook profile

I want Moot's stock advice.

"you like money, AND sex? dude, we should totally hang out..." -idiocracy

Mm. Deli.

Yes!

@JoelSpolsky here is a dry erase board and a pen...

9:10 PM

A sopaipilla, sopapilla, sopaipa, or cachanga is a kind of fried pastry and a type of quick bread served in Argentina, northern Mexico, New Mexico, Peru, Variations Argentina In Argentina, pastry is known under other names apart from sopaipa, supaipa and sopaipilla these are; Torta frita, Kreppel and chipá cuerito. Chile In Chile, sopaipillas are known to have been eaten at least since 1726. Although Traditional Chilean sopaipillas (made in the central part of Chile) include pumpkin in their dough, in the south of Chile they didn't use to include it. Depending if they are served as a p...

It's not a true Mexican restaurant if it doesn't give you sopapillas after the meal.

dropouts on the sound :(

Aaand there goes my feed.

blow the cartridge out and replace?

Sound is still working for me, maybe just reload the live stream page?

omg it's MLP:FiM

I loved PPG when I was younger.

Foster's was also really smart.

And, obvs, Dexter's Lab.

I wish I knew what all of those acronyms meant.

Aarthi Devanathan

Samurai Jack was way underrated.

But on 4chan, you have GETs!

ah Samurai Jack

Samurai Jack was just walking.

And walking...

...walking...

@GnomeSlice MLP:FiM -- My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. PPG = Power Puff Girls.

ROBOT!

...walking...

FOOOLISH GNOMESLICE!!!

ROBOT.

................walking.

actually jk you're entitled to your opinion :p

I just got home; is the feed supposed to be working?

9:25 PM

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

It should be

It's not, for me.

I'll stop whining about the problems I have at the office; apparently at home it just loads forever

ok the former tech support rep in me cannot resist asking if you've cleared your cache and tried to reload the page

@BrMcMullin I even tried switching OSes

9:26 PM

I want to be that pulse.

wow. that's pretty hard core.

My hotel wi-fi must be too slow, it's not streaming :(

i'm a SEtard

No streaming for me either :( 2 mins and counting. Just got off a customer call to join the party here

@AarthiDevanathan, you can be the court reporter.

Type everything they say. All of it.

9:28 PM

Yeah, I got the rotating circle for a few minutes, nothing else :(

I vote Aarthi for stenographer!

@GraceNote You always do that whenever I forget a word.

Hmm, rotating circle stenography by altering the level transparency

It's my job to know things ♪

9:30 PM

any questions for moot?

what does Moot think of Reddit?

@JoelSpolsky I'm assuming that's the guest?

um, yes

Yes, the guest is moot

What are "Exploding Knees" ?

(moot's twitter background)

9:31 PM

It would be nice if SE offered an 'audio only' live stream.

=[

I'm just not watching the visual so it's basically audio-only for me. ♪

@GraceNote Makes a big difference on a connection like mine.

Q: Provide the live podcast in audio-only form

I have endless problems with Livestream; every 30 seconds or so it suddenly loses its connection and ends up on this screen: I have RealPlayer flashbacks every week during the podcast. Changing the quality doesn't help (and it forgets my setting anyway every time the loading screen comes up --...

@MichaelMrozek I apparently upvoted that. I would've anyway, but apparently I already did.

The internet is converging on Television

9:32 PM

@GraceNote You probably update all my posts by instinct

@MichaelMrozek Oooh... uh oh...

* Television is converging on internet

Sorry I'm late. I only just heard my more famous abbreviation was speaking.

Everyone be sure to start questions with "@moot" so we know who they're for

I think moot is the most successful troll ever. Got everyone convinced that he's Mr. Charles Poole. Mr. CP. Successful troll is successful.

9:34 PM

I'm starting IE :( just in case the stream isn't working because of Chrome

@DanMcGrath Few good plans start with "I'm starting IE"

I can think of plenty. All of them wouldn't be considered "productive" or "pleasant" though.

@MichaelMrozek I usually end that sentence with "...in order to attempt to reproduce a bug."

So is there a way to get audio only stream? Livestream is frozen on me :(

@hmemcpy Not yet

9:38 PM

And alas, neither was this one. Seems that I'm doomed to wait until the recording is released @mootinator: Did you get into the livestream when you joined just then?

@DanMcGrath Fraid not.

decent 2-page summary of SOPA, its problems, and implications:

Hey, I got starred without looking like a jerk.

Your welcome. I have my "Generally be nice" boots on today.

@GnomeSlice You should repeat things I said a month ago more often; it's highly effective

9:44 PM

This chatroom sucks.

pizza is a vegetable.

@BrMcMullin There's nothing particularly special about Canada...?

they haven't ruled that pizza is a vegetable...

Anonymous

@BrMcMullin Canada's close enough to be more affected by SOPA than most of the world. You might want to run further.

9:51 PM

@JeremyBanks actually I sent my congressmen and women a mail against SOPA

so I'm fighting the fight

I just wish I head heard about the pizza is a vegetable issue before the fact so I could have fought that too

where is that? I missed it

Anonymous

Might we be able to hear more from the guests than from @AlexMiller, occasionally? =p

@JeremyBanks They're free to talk :-)

Is SOPA going to cause me problems because of that video?

Anonymous

@AlexMiller Maybe they need more encouragement; they usually don't seem very talkative.

9:54 PM

@JeremyBanks Such as a teleprompter to feed them lines? :)

I mean, those graphics are the property of SE...

@alex i think that's called a calendar

Anyone?

Not the right room @Gnome.

@RonanForman I was asking about SOPA, and how it applies to the video.

But thanks.

10:02 PM

last minute questions for anyone?

2+2?

what is joel/jeff/moot's favorite meme?

Has moot ever gotten a GET?

Anonymous

Does moot participate on Stack Overflow?

a jewish divorce?!

10:04 PM

Who, exactly do all my base belong to?

Really though, am I going to get in any kind of trouble for that video?

@GnomeSlice Jeff's already whipping out his power glove.

I'm not entirely sure what that means.

10:28 PM

@GnomeSlice See: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/10630/…

11:18 PM

Does that apply to using graphics owned by the company as well? Oh dear...
