(adjusted age upwards for my own advancing age)

kalina

@Sterno that's a full 20 years younger than you

fbueckert

@kalina 20? Expected more.

kalina

one more close vote, step right up, vote to close, win a prize

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno That explains why you starred this:

3 hours ago, by OrigamiRobot

imagines @kalina in a bikini during a blizzard

Yuki

@kalina Considering your prizes tend to be FIRE, I'll pass.

Sterno

6:01 PM

@fbueckert Ultimately, won't matter. Whether it closes today or tomorrow, the clutter will be removed from the site. We win the long game.

kalina

@Yuki the prize is fireproofing

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Lies

I did star @fredley's version though.

Yuki

@kalina Lies! You said your fire can't be fireproofed!

fbueckert

@Sterno The short game is so much funner than the long game.

And with that, I'm off to take a shower!

kalina

@Yuki I can fireproof against my own fire

fbueckert

6:02 PM

And then buy stuff I need so my cat won't die!

kalina

@fbueckert good, you smell

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno If we're both 60 year old guys from your perspective, what's the difference?

fbueckert

@kalina Now, now, you're being mean.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert When are you getting him/her/it?

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot You're a 60 year old guy wearing a bikini at Blizzcon. That's inherently comedic.

OrigamiRobot

6:03 PM

@Sterno Sounds like a normal convention to me.

Sterno

I have been to many a GenCon and let me tell you, while seeing a girl in a chainmail bikini might sound like a fun thing, in reality it almost never is.

Powerlord

Sterno

(or guy for that matter)

OrigamiRobot

I never said it was fun.

kalina

I can't imagine they're much fun to wear, either

fbueckert

6:04 PM

@OrigamiRobot Her. Saturday.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Name?

kalina

@OrigamiRobot cakes

OrigamiRobot

You should name her something awesome. Like Skittles.

Powerlord

Hmm, Prof Layton 6 now has an official release date in North America... Feb 28. I'm going to note that the game is already out in Europe.

OrigamiRobot

kalina

6:06 PM

@OrigamiRobot skittles is a good name

Sterno

Name her Mark Trapp.

kalina

not really a very girly name

fbueckert

@kalina That's beside the point!

kalina

@fbueckert now, that's confusing

Yuki

@kalina I was wondering what was confusing. And then I refreshed the chat window.

kalina

6:19 PM

@Yuki refresh it again

fbueckert

@fbueckert I was gonna go for GnomeSlice, but then he said he'd ignore me, so ... yeh.

fbueckert

meh it takes time to propagate

@fbueckert yeah he didn't say that he was going to ignore us if we used @fbueckert

fbueckert

@fbueckert 'xactly! ... Or so I like to think.

OrigamiRobot

He should name his cat @GnomeSlice. I almost did.

fbueckert

ALL THE @FBUECKERTS!

Unionhawk

6:21 PM

I refuse to take part in such shenanigans...

fbueckert

@Unionhawk you are a poor liar

both you and @Origami are going to take part in this major fun

just create an account on gamedev or something and re-associate your chat account to it

saves renaming

Coronus

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I know how to properly do this

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot of course you do

Unionhawk

Hang on, this makes the ping game easier and more fun. @FBU

fbueckert

6:23 PM

@Unionhawk yes it does

fbueckert

@Unionhawk Ahyup!

Also, hey there @fbueckert! :P

fbueckert

hi there @fbueckert

how are you @fbueckert?

Unionhawk

This is probably the dumbest thing-- wait, no, probably not.

fbueckert

I'm fine, @fbueckert. You?

OrigamiRobot

Am I doing it right?

fbueckert

thanks for asking @fbueckert

fbueckert

@kalina Nerpers.

fbueckert

It's almost food time I think, @fbueckert

fbueckert

Any time, @fbueckert.

Unionhawk

Actually, now it's the dumbest thing.

fbueckert

6:25 PM

That goes for the food time thing as well, @fbueckert: Any time!

kalina

@fbueckert Why am I not getting these pings?

fbueckert

@kalina because you renamed to kalina, @fbueckert

Sterno

You are not the one true @fbueckert.

kalina

Oh, silly me!

Fluttershy

This is getting out of hand. <_<

kalina

6:26 PM

I'll try not to sully your good name.

Unionhawk

This is dumb. And I maintain that I will have no part in this.

Sterno

Chat closed as Confuses @badp.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy it's almost as bad as that QA incident, isn't it @fbueckert?

Unionhawk

fbueckert

oh no @fbueckert, the fun police have arrived

fbueckert

6:27 PM

Heh.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot That's Skydrift's name. Except she doesn't have bunny ears. Yet.

Yuki

I don't think I did it right.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Awwwww

Unionhawk

@fgrumpbert just when I thought this could get no dumber

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno The ears are just a hat.

fgrumpbert

6:28 PM

@Unionhawk I aim to disappoint.

fbueckert

It could get dumber, we could all rename to Unionhawk

Sterno

@AnnaLear entered, shook her head sadly, and left.

fbueckert

she's still here

Unionhawk

It could get dumber indeed. You could get suspended for calling yourself a jerk.

fbueckert

waiting to pounce

@Unionhawk true

Yuki

6:30 PM

@Sterno I'm pretty sure that's a daily occurrence.

Sterno

Is she @fbueckert too? I don't see her on the list.

Anna Lear

I'm here.

I don't know what's going on, but I'm here.

fbueckert

@Sterno told you

@AnnaLear It's ok, nothing malicious is happening

Sterno

...yet

3ventic

I'm almost never sure about what's going on here..

fbueckert

6:31 PM

I did think about getting flagged but then I figured that crosses the line between having fun and impersonating another user with malicious intent

OrigamiRobot

She heard us talking about cats.

Yuki

@3ventic That's generally a good state of mind to be in.

fbueckert

CATS!

Unionhawk

dammit THIS WAS THE WORST TIME TO RUN OUT OF STARS

T_T

fbueckert

@Unionhawk Well, sucks to be you. :P

OrigamiRobot

6:32 PM

Yuki

@Unionhawk Every time is the worst time to run out stars.

OrigamiRobot

CATS

Anna Lear

is there ever a good time to... yeah, what @fgrumpbert said.

fbueckert

I am disappointed by the lack of @fbueckert's in here

Yuki

@AnnaLear Huh, it didn't change back yet?

fbueckert

6:32 PM

@fbueckert Yeh, the Bridge can do better.

fbueckert

@Yuki takes a few minutes

fbueckert

Damn, I go take a shower, and all hell breaks loose?

Anna Lear

Takes a few minutes and possibly a page refresh on my part.

Yuki

@fbueckert I figured, but it changed back for me awhile ago.

fbueckert

@fbueckert to really mess with people, we want to get like 10 people named @fbueckert and then storm another channel

OrigamiRobot

6:33 PM

@fbueckert Who are you?

fbueckert

I am @fbueckert

you can tell by the pony

because @fbueckert loves ponies

Yuki

@fbueckert No, I'm Spartacus.

fbueckert

@AnnaLear Yeh, needs a page refresh. Names are stored in the JS and never really updated.

3ventic

@fbueckert It's called the Bridge, not hell.

fbueckert

@Yuki hello yx

I am @fbueckert.

We are @fbueckert.

You are @fbueckert.

fbueckert

Hello @fbueckert

fbueckert

Hello to you, too, @fbueckert.

fbueckert

I'm going to have to start ignoring people, don't I?

fbueckert

such a meanie

fbueckert

We did kinda see that coming, though, didn't we?

fbueckert

6:34 PM

There's a reason you keep calling me the fun police.

fbueckert

no, he said if we renamed to GnomeSlice

I mean, I said if you rename to GnomeSlice

that I would put you on ignore

cough </deepervoice> cough

Unionhawk

Chat closed as Confuses @fbueckert

fbueckert

"If you rename to GnomeSlice I shall put you on ignore"

fbueckert

Aaanyways, I'm sorry to break it, but I have to leave for a bit, I'm afraid. Heading home.

fbueckert

yeah it's like food time, time to rename back

before @fbueckert sets fire to @fbueckert

fbueckert

6:35 PM

I think I'm going to ask for a liberal abuse of moderator privileges soon.

fbueckert

@fbueckert @fbueckert would never do such a terrible thing!

At least I hope @fbueckert wouldn't ...

Unionhawk

@fbueckert I know what happened, I'm confused why this exists on the main site. I guess an artifact of migrating then closing as off-topic?

fbueckert

@Unionhawk Closing a migration rejects it and unlocks the original.

Unionhawk

So, yes then. And then the migration is just set to generic "off-topic". I see.

> Canada’s new copyright laws, passed last fall, cap the liability for unauthorized downloading of copyrighted material at $5,000, so long as the downloading is not for commercial purposes. But the TPP could force Canada to institute criminal penalties even for small-time downloaders, according to a number of consumer advocacy groups.

It could end CanCon.

> Article 16 of a leaked 2011 draft of the TPP mandates that countries create “legal incentives” for internet service providers to do their own copyright policing online. That is interpreted by many to mean that ISPs could be held legally accountable if their subscribers download illegally.

> One of the clauses being debated in the TPP would allow corporations to decide themselves whether internet browsers can make “temporary copies” to your computer’s history folder.

This is very bad.

Very bad.

For works published after 2002, and for unpublished works, it's also 70 years.

@Unionhawk Ah okay so it brings it to parity with the US then.

user15026

@Unionhawk Ah, yes, that's it. (We were discussing it at work the other day, because someone tried to claim a chunk of university work as public domain)

Unionhawk

Screw it. EVERYONE'S GETTING A COPY.

Ullallulloo

Although there are some exceptions to the patentability of them.

@Ullallulloo Sort of? It also means that access to things are limted and expensive in some cases

It is a very much double edged sword

It encourages innovation, even still. It does what the system was designed to do.

@Ullallulloo I know, the entire system is broken

Ullallulloo

It encourages innovation at the cost of immediate availability.

7:36 PM

@Yuki THERE IS JUST SO MUCH NOPE!!!

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn It's true of the basic concept.

Unionhawk

But patenting surgical methods extends into a whole region of NOPE that should not be touched.

@Yuki I AM SAVING THIS TO QUOTE FOR THE FUTURE

user15026

@Ullallulloo Fair enough, but as someone with a lot of expensive medical gear in her head and a need for lots of lovely healthcare stuff, the idea that someone could patent something and then lock the access and so on just gives me the heebiejeebies

user15026

@Yuki This sums up my feelings very well

Unionhawk

Ah hell, it sounds like Mr. Barrack Obama also needs a stern talking to about the degree of NOPE this entails.

@RedRiderX that too

Yuki

@RedRiderX I think there was an NPR piece on how it turns out that the language in certain recent House bills has been taken word-for-word from some of these lobbyists.

RedRiderX

@Yuki Oh yes.

Yuki

Like there was a bill to repeal part of the Dodd-Frank Act and it turns out that a good portion of the language in the bill had be written by the lobbyists for Citigroup.
