Cerberus

11:00 PM

So am I.

Oh, but I have just added the Xeno siege/healer 3/3 (2 delay).

I needed some siege against those damned wall decks.

RegDwight

Damnit. Another try, another failure.

Cerberus

Ack I lost to a cheating Vampire.

RegDwight

Another 22 minutes.

Cerberus

Jinx.

Oh.

RegDwight

Yeah, I'm talking about the Niaq.

Cerberus

11:03 PM

I just tried it again. Got wall/weaken/wall as my first three options. For the third time in a row.

And yeah Mawcor's second shot would be in turn 9.

So I might even have won if he had Flurried, which he didn't.

RegDwight

Oh well.

On the plus side, four faction battles, four wins.

Cerberus

Nice.

But I win: I have just beaten myself!

RegDwight

I beat myself all the time.

5 hours ago, by RegDwight

@Cerberus Well, again, given enough dedication, I beat all my decks.

Cerberus

Right.

That means that my decks are more of the dumb kind.

RegDwight

Dangit, I would have leveled up today if not for that stupid Niaq.

Cerberus

11:09 PM

Aww.

He's not the Holy Grail...

RegDwight

Also, no raids...

Cerberus

I often find myself doing II because it's faster.

Yeah, well, which card from raids do you covet?

RegDwight

Finished two today, would like to do more, but those are on cool down, and the other ones are not getting posted to chat.

Vitaly

You talkin' about World of Warcraft?

RegDwight

No. Like, puhleees.

War Metal Tyrant.

Cerberus

11:11 PM

Yeah. Join us!

Vitaly

Ah. My Crysis 2 screenshot pwns your Tyrant anyway. In all ways imaginable. Not even talking about Crysis 2 itself.

RegDwight

In all ways imaginable to you, perhaps.

You're just lacking imagination.

Cerberus

Well spoken. But the Crysis pic is pretty...

RegDwight

So freaking what.

Cerberus

Yeah, yeah...

RegDwight

11:13 PM

Google "Mona Lisa".

(But yeah, those crazy Germans sure know their stuff.)

Cerberus

Heh.

Have you seen Her for real?

RegDwight

Have you been there?

Cerberus

The silly queue and the glass make the experience quite unsatisfying.

Then again, I usually don't experience a great deal of emotion with paintings.

Am I alone?

I find architecture more touching, for example.

RegDwight

We'll be visiting Paris shortly, but I don't think Louvre is of any interest to anyone.

Cerberus

Oh, bye the way, @Vit, I see the Unicode perfectly on that source page if I turn off "page style"! Weird?

RegDwight

11:16 PM

@Cerberus Depends on the paintings. The Tretyakov Gallery gets me every time.

Cerberus

@RegDwight Really? But... but...

RegDwight

@Cerberus We only have three days. Don't want to spend them all queueing up.

Cerberus

@RegDwight Hmm... but the Louvre has everything?

If you go to the Louvre, order your tickets online (if possible) or ask your hotel to do it: that way, you can walk right past the queues.

Vitaly

And that's only DX9.

RegDwight

@Cerberus I dunno. It sure as hell will have to compete against the Eremitage in my mind.

Cerberus

11:18 PM

At least we could; the hotel had bought the tickets.

Vitaly

I suspect Crysis is the most we could get with current rendering algorithms.

Cerberus

Yeah the Ermitazj is nice as well!

Neo

Q: Mod Security for apache2 blocks curl!

I'm trying to get my users lat and lng from their address using google's geocoding api but when mod security is enabled it prevents it and the script timesout. How can I add an exception by ip or domain for this or just remove whatever configuration that makes mod_security do this? I am using th...

Vitaly

In 5 or more years, the next technology is realtime raytracing.

Cerberus

Hello Neo.

RegDwight

11:18 PM

@Neo Hi Neo.

Cerberus

By the way, is it normnal for Russian workers to be women?

Neo

@Cerberus, @RegDwight Hi guys

RegDwight

Hey wow, I just got a badge on ITSecurity. Who would have thunk?

@Cerberus Roughly 50% of Russians are women, yes.

Cerberus

In the Hermitage, we were surprised by 8 women in over-alls who were working with ladders and tools to repair the windows.

Neo

@RegDwight in that case maybe you can help me

RegDwight

11:20 PM

@Neo Um, yes?

Or do you mean with your question?

Cause I don't know jack about no security.

Neo

Oh yeah I meant my question, then nevermind

RegDwight

Ah sorry. Tough luck.

But hey, you do realize we are more like linguists/etymologists in this room?

@Cerberus Well, why not. Don't women work in the Netherlands?

Mar 7 at 20:59, by RegDwight

Sure looks like hard work to me.

Cerberus

@RegDwight They work, but usually not in construction...

And not in all-women groups. But it was nice.

RegDwight

They work in destruction????

Cerberus

Always. But that they do in their spare time. No, they usually work in the tertiary sector.

Is that even a term?

RegDwight

11:25 PM

As long as we understand each other, yes.

Dienstleistungssektor.

Vitaly

Oh, service industry.

Cerberus

Hmm, so English uses tertiary/quaternary there too.

I thought they'd use ternary/quaternary.

I keep forgetting in which way they maim the Latin numerals.

RegDwight

You accidentally the whole or how do I that sentence?

Cerberus

Oops.

RegDwight

Rats, lost again. Three cards aren't enough. I do need the second Asylum.

But then it's a gamble whether I get the Mawcor right away.

Sucks.

K pipls, that was my last try for today.

Gotta go.

Night all, sleep well.

Vitaly

11:30 PM

CU.

Cerberus

Adios!

Dream of Mawcor!

RegDwight

Hopefully not.

Over and out!

Vitaly

11:57 PM

OK, I don't understand what to make of all those weird characters.

So I cannot convert it appropriately.
