Oh, so the Texas thing was Equal Protection. Interesting.
First Ukraine, then what, Georgia and Slovakia?
> meaning this case stands a good chance of continuing through the appeals process after the 2104 election.
Typo?
@tchrist Next thing you know, there will be a whole glorious Union of them.
They could burn them all down.
> To most rational observers, fomenting chaos across the border in Ukraine might seem an odd ambition for Russia. Not to Mr Putin, who regards Ukraine as an integral part of Russia’s sphere of influence, and saw the orange revolution as a Western plot to steal it.
02:05
@tchrist Umm Russia would never dare attack the EU.
6 mins ago, by Cerberus
They did not even reconquer Stalin's birth ground, during the recent actual war.
Ok, goodbye Georgia then.
No, they did not conquer it.
So they probably won't conquer Ukraine either.
Let alone attack Slovakia.
@Reg OK mine are blue now too.
@Cerberus So you really think they’ll just carve off the Crimean Peninsula and call it theirs as they’ve always intended and just stop at that?
@tchrist My best guess is that they will not even invade the Crimea.
02:11
That’s my best hope. It’s not my best guess.
They will just get Kiev to sign some treaty that protects the Russian interests and continue as they have for the past 2.5 decades.
I repeat, if they did not conquer Georgia, why would they conquer Ukraine?
There are dozens of unpublished php content files on our public site. I am so confused by this.
@Cerberus Teach them upstarts a lesson.
They have switched from military conquest to political subversion. It has worked well for them: there is now a pro-Russian government in Georgia, sort of.
Because the Ukraine is lovely this time of year.
02:13
Putin DOES NOT want Ukraine signing up for the EU or NATO for the love of Mike.
And they got the old pro-Russian government reinstalled after the revolution of 2004 (Yanukovich).
Isn't that some kind of security issue, to just leave a bunch of pages hanging out like that?
With no one monitoring them?
I don’t know what “unpublished” means.
Well, I guess they all redirect.
@tchrist Umm and they will not do so, why would they think so?
This is just an association treaty. It means nothing.
02:14
Because the current replacements want closer ties with the EU, that’s why.
I'm not sure. It looks like the pages and their original content are there, but then someone pasted a redirect on top.
NATO is out of the question in the foreseeable future.
@tchrist So did the revolutionaries of 2004.
A, uh, what-do-you-call-it, when you remap the address.
L'histoire se répète.
@KitFox You don’t mean NAT.
02:15
Don't I? I meant 302 or something.
You just mean a rewrite rule in the apache config to rewrite the path.
Oh that.
@tchrist He doesn't want them signing up for ELU either.
NAT is fancier.
Nothing about this website is fancy.
@Robusto They can get in line behind China and the Indies.
02:16
But isn't it problematic to keep the page when the address remaps anyway?
Hey, @Cerb, how ya like your bitcoin now?
@tchrist It's spelled NATO.
@Robusto I'm not looking!
I don't know much about this sort of thing.
I don't want to know what the current rate is.
I learn interesting things every day, hey! Hey! I said some thing today that were "good thinking" and "well considered"!
02:17
Network address translation (NAT) is a methodology of modifying network address information in Internet Protocol (IP) datagram packet headers while they are in transit across a traffic routing device for the purpose of remapping one IP address space into another. Originally used to simply map each address of one address space to a corresponding address in another space, most often today, NAT is used in conjunction with network masquerading (or IP masquerading) which is a technique that hides an entire IP address space, usually consisting of private network IP addresses (RFC 1918), behind ...
By people I respect, I mean.
Much lower level than pussy web servers.
@tchrist Oh, that. Yes, but no.
I know even less about that stuff.
Just enough to be dangerous.
And today, I really wanted to be a developer today.
I have to go back and finish my docufermentation.
Even though I felt like I knew stuff today.
@tchrist You should get your BA to do that crap.
02:19
The BA is doing other crap.
You know, at this new gig, I have had more days where I felt like I did a good job than I ever did at the last place.
Actually, at any place.
And doesn’t know about this part. I have to write the “operations manual” for the product support team.
Explain the wildly varying prices?
And not just that I did a good job, but that somebody appreciated it.
@Robusto It's the hacking.
02:20
then it is good for you :D
I wish my co-workers weren't quite so disgruntled.
No, experience.
I'm still honeymooning.
More wine?
Why yes, thank you.
!!more wine for you?
@KitFox That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.
@Robusto The rate at MtGox is obviously low, because nobody wants to buy bitcoins on that site any more. The rate on btcn is in Yens or Yuans. Bitstamp's rate is the real rate now, apparently.
02:22
!!do you want more wine?
@KitFox All signs point to yes
@Robusto Damn it, Rob, I’m a programmer not a haruspex!
You got it, sister.
!!define haruspex
@KitFox haruspex A soothsayer or priest in Ancient Rome (originally Etruscan) who practiced divination by inspecting entrails.
Oh right.
02:23
Peoples gotta get bigger vocabularies. If you read sci-fi/fantasy you would know haruspex.
Or classical literature.
Or historiography.
Kiss my ass.
Or just literature in general!
srsly peepl
I read lots. Good stuff too.
None of this Twilight garbage.
@KitFox Why so surly, srsly?
02:24
50 shades?
There’s a super hilarious scene with a haruspex in Creatures of Light and Darkness, where Horus shows up and demands a reading, so the local guy grabs a captured prisoner, who happens to be his cousin and also a haruspex, and the local guy fucks up the reading and the dying haruspex has to correct him.
Haha.
Hey! Let's sit somewhere more comfortable than the kitchen, shall we?
Lovely.
There. You'll have to nudge the cats over if you all want to sit.
02:26
I mean, just because I can't make your St. Pat's party you're gonna get all up in my grill?
You're the one who doesn't think driving four and a half hours into the middle of nowhere and then getting drunk with strangers is a good idea.
Ha'Sean "Ha Ha" Clinton-Dix (born December 21, 1992) is an American football safety. He played college football at Alabama. High school career A native of Orlando, Florida, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix attended Edgewater High School for his freshman and sophomore years, where he played running back and was teammates with Mike Brewster. Before his junior season, he transferred to Dr. Phillips High School, where he was an All-American defensive back and kick returner, and teammates with Dee Hart. Regarded as a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was ranked as the No. 1 defensive back ...
Say my name!
“Only three, Holy Horus? That means one set of entrails will doubtless do for
all. Surely, a god as wise as thyself could think of more questions. Since we
have the necessary materials it is a shame to waste them. It's been so long…”

“Three, nevertheless, are all the questions I have for the entrail-oracle."

“Very well, then,” sighs Freydag. “In that case, we shall use his,” and he
indicates with his blade one gray-bearded man whose dark eyes are fixed upon his
own. “Boltag is the name.”

“You know him?”
I can't wait till the announcers have to wrap their tongues around a bowl of Clinton-Dix.

@KitFox I can't think of them all right now, but they seem to use arsed in a variety of contexts.
Yeah, sure.
uh-oh. I just realized Mama Cat is snuggled up with Kitty and Elmo. Who should be in the little one's bed.
@Robusto Arsible. Arsenal.
02:33
I can't be arsed to asked right off.
So you’re non-arsible.
I'm half-arsed as it is.
@tchrist I thought Arsenal played for London.
Oh! Did I tell you about my funny cat dream?
02:34
not yet
Blah blah excess details, there were cats patrolling the basement where I work.
I met some of them, they were big like lab cats, and the coolest one was Mister Tibbs.
Yep, that’s the one.
Funny cat dream or funny-cat dream?
He had a little metal helmet, and a white-paint handprint on his face, which I didn't realize until I woke up meant that he was working for Saruman.
02:36
Ewwww!
Scaley, velly scaley!
True story: According to science, cats apparently think humans are just bigger cats!
Well, he was teh awesum. We talked telepathically.
He helped me find the file I was searching for.
Which turned out to be a metal pipe.
It made sense in the dream.
Not really talked, but you know. We understood each other.

@KitFox Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
She knows what a thaumaturge is: otherwise she could never have been a 5th-level magic-user.
Theurgist is 4th level; that’s the one nobody remembers.
02:42
Maybe she's only a demiurge.
How did you — oh. Ha ha. Right.
It’s in my genes.
Or at least after 40 years, it might as well be.
Actually, I was 8th level, but only first edition rules.
So no fancy titles...wait.
8th level is Warlock.
Yes there were.

Highest that elves can get.
I can't believe I forgot that.
Ahem.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is the gift that keeps on giving. It is recursive humor.
Remember I worked for Gary Gygax at TSR.
I do not forget.
Yes, yes. Remember that I forget things that aren't about how great I am.
02:44
@tchrist And how is old Gary doing these days — oh, right.
Especially when I'm drinking.
I was at his funeral. It was very amazing. So many people gathered together who remembered him.
People who hadn’t seen each other in years, decades even.
Now you've made me chain-read Wiki articles.
Like about the Lemnian language, related to Etruscan.
Rabbit hole!
Rat hole.
02:45
Drink more or bed?
He was the Robert Burns of gaming. As his mom said (upon viewing the poet's death monument), "Ah, Robbie, ye asked them for bread and they hae gi'en ye a stane."
Rabbit holes are for LSD and Alice.
Gygax is a cool name.
Stone soup.
Good story. Good magazine.
02:46
Wormholes are for LSD and me.
They still have a Garycon in Geneva at the old Legion Hall.
And he still doesn't benefit financially, I'll bet.
His family, anyway.
Heirs. Whatever.
@Robusto Nay, ’twas Rabbie.
Sooth.
The English might should have not translated it.
02:51
OK, bed then.
He was always Rabbie not Robbie. Robbie is an English translation.
Good night, good night. I trust you will tell me how wonderful I am in the morning.
Are you wonderful in the morning?
If so, how wonderful?
Darn it, that’s not the clip that has it. It’s the one with David Tennant.
No, I mean. In the morning, you will tell me how wonderful I am.
02:52
@tchrist Did you mean David Tenet?
@tchrist sighs wistfully
I don’t think so.
Just checking. Can't be too careful.

Not only did he kill millions and plunge the world into war, but he ruined the postage-stamp mustache for everyone. Also the name Adolf.
Is there no end to his crimes?
I'm speaking of Michael Jordan, of course.
war crimes?
It’s in Series G, Episode 7. somewhere.
It’s rrright beforrre this parrrrt:
Stephen here calls him Rabbie, you can hear it:
But he elsewhere says he was only ever Rabbie not Robbie.
Um, you have to remember that Stephen is English, and so those aren’t homophones, even coming out of his mouth.
As they would be to many an American.
@tchrist He said he was "never Robbie or Rabbie."
Oh.
Damn.
Yes, he did.
It was Robin or Rab.
Or of course Robert.
I knew there was a Rab in there.
03:02
Speaking on behalf of Roberts everywhere, I can sympathize.
He never signed his name Rabbie.
I rather like Robin as a boys’ name and rather dislike it as a girls’.
Ye cannae give a lass the name of the Boy Wonder.
Or of Christopher Robin.
It just isn’t right.

!!wiki Svastika
The swastika (卐) () is a symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four arms bent at 90 degrees. The earliest archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization as well as the Mediterranean Classical Antiquity and paleolithic Europe. Swastikas have also been used in various other ancient civilizations around the world including Turkic, India, Iran, Nepal, China, Japan, Korea and Europe. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol that ...

I obtain a zero so.. the null hypothesis that no cointegrating relationship exists is not rejected
Ugly nouns.
@cyril Yes. The sentence is impossible to read because of the many layered negations.
@Cerberus It’s Newspeak. I wouldn’t do it.
reminded me of
!!wiki False negative
In statistics, a null hypothesis is a statement that the thing being studied produces no effect or makes no difference. An example of a null hypothesis is the statement "This diet has no effect on people's weight." Usually an experimenter frames a null hypothesis with the intent of rejecting it: that is, intending to run an experiment which produces data that shows that the thing under study does make a difference. A type I error (or error of the first kind) is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis. With respect to the non-null hypothesis, it represents a false positive. ...
> Georgia has been pursuing membership in the European Union and NATO, a bid it has reinforced by sending troops to participate in the multinational force in Afghanistan. But Georgia has been powerless to stop Russia’s muscle flexing closer to home, activity that Mr. Garibashvili said had accelerated as soon as the Winter Olympics were over.
Of course they have. How else to stop Putin?
> Los romanos llamaban a la calabaza cucurbita y la cultivan extensamente por doquier en todos sus huertos. Pero en efecto, la expresión "cabeza de cucúrbita" en latín (caput cucurbitae) era sinónimo de estúpido o vacuo de ideas. Es así como por traslación en el argot rural cucurbita adquiere también el sentido de cabeza, por eso cocuzza y cucuzza, voces italianas antiguas para la calabaza (procedentes de cucurbita, según muchos, pero casi con toda seguridad de cucutia, otro vocablo latino para designar a otra cucurbitácea), designan en argot también a la cabeza .
That covers all 4 languages.
This is interesting if you can read it, which I presume you can: “El italiano actualmente emplea preferentemente zucca, que algunos ven producto de una reducción y metátesis de la forma cucuzza, pero que es más fácil que esté algo influido por el griego σικύα de fuerte influjo en la Italia del sur.” The whole article covers all 7 of Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Italian, Latin, French, and Greek words for pumpkin/gourd/squash. It’s rather interesting. — tchrist 5 mins ago
@Cerb So they think that the Italian and Portuguese versions both came from the Greek.
Maybe.
And the melopipo thing from Greek is interesting. Of course it now makes sense that a melon is a sweet gourd: d’oh.

Which is either from cucuzza or from Greek sikua.
