<zzo38> Is anyone in here who knows cricket rules and has experience?
<Slereah> What if I told you the baseball rules in a british accent?
<alise> "Europe is the national anthem of the Republic of Kosovo."

<ais523> and just completely ignoring the input
<cpressey> some people live their entire lives this way, i reckon
<Bike> i'm ten pages in to an ethernet-phy manual and i'm pretty sure the internet is impossible
<kmc> I like telling people who've only used high level languages about the bizarre forms of undefined behavior in C, and then ending it with "this language and its relatives are used for most systems in planes, cars, medical devices, nuclear reactors, etc."
<kmc> it's depressing how many security holes have the root cause that "int" is a lot shorter to type than "unsigned int"
<TheGreatSparky> Well over the last 100 years we have made such insane medical and technological advancements. I mean, we have X-Rays and ultra sounds, we can replace hearts and reattach limbs, and we can even perform operations on the human brain. How is it that with all that in mind, shoving a finger up a somebody's asshole is STILL the best method to check a prostate?
<RHExcelion> You know, when I Was a kid, playing oregon trail

<Xaiier> oh right

<quintopia> boily: this sounds like a philosophy of life
<whelp> mom called me and said her series got deleted from torrents and asked me to fix it. i said dont vote putin next time
<mroman_> I should probably read about privacy laws in the US :)
<Jafet> Don't worry, it won't take that much time.
<schuko> i've had my share with C working with embedded software
<schuko> it's like star wars
<schuko> you shave off a few bytes and then there's a new hope
<schuko> then you run the test suite and the empire strikes back
<@Sir_herrbatka> what is the best vi mode for emacs?
< wheybags> vim
< wheybags> alias emacs='vim'
< wheybags> (did that on a society server once as an april fools day joke :P)
< wheybags> and alias vim='emacs' too
< wheybags> one guy came on irc
< wheybags> "why is vim taking so fucking long to start up"
<Aragan> ... okay, I have determined that is not lightning.
<Aragan> That is artillery.
<Theogrin> Sturm und drang? What're ya playing, Aragan?
<Aragan> Call of Duty: College Life Near an Army Base.
<shree> there was a hackerspace in london
<shree> it had IP video cams, that you could point at different stuff, through the website
<shree> I used to go on there
<shree> watch the people
<shree> especially at night - some of them slept there
<shree> they would know I was there because the camera moved
<shree> some of them would cover it with stuff
<shree> it made me feel less lonely though
<shree> I felt like, them covering the camera, is real interaction in a way
<vee> god my brain is so dumb sometimes
<vee> I looked out the window and saw a lot of birds and squirrels and I thought "yeah it's the weekend" as if they all normally have jobs to go to during the week
<oniMaker> tw2113: 97b577be2a18c22ca3406f0d1fdc5c70
<tw2113> ?
<oniMaker> MD5'd profanity.
<oniMaker> If you want to feel insulted you'll have to set up some rainbow tables.
<tw2113> too much effort
<tw2113> i'lll just feign offense
<oniMaker> excellent choice
< eneasvva> I'm trying to do an variable global (with class type), I see that in C++ is made with a variation of singleton, but this variation is incompatible with BC 3.1 . There's another way?
< j4cbo> what's BC 3.1?
< eneasvva> borland c++ 3.1
< eneasvva> I just want to a global instance
< j4cbo> um.
< j4cbo> from 1992?
< eneasvva> yes
< j4cbo> this channel will tend to yell at you for using C++03 instead of C++11
< j4cbo> i don't know how best to work around bugs in your compiler that's old enough to legally get drunk
< jeaye> get it drunk
<@dmd> two old people were arguing over whose car a car was
<@dmd> and one was demonstrating that their key worked
<@dmd> and the other was using the impeccable argument that "it looks like my car"
<@dmd> i was at a stop light so i had to leave
<@dmd> but i assume this was resolved either by the correct party getting in and driving away
<@dmd> or by thunderdome
<JoeCreates> I've a question about memory pooling
<icetooth> add that chemical that turns leaked memory blue so you can track down the source
<ioiom63> I went to the doctor, and I had to fill out these papers, right?
<ioiom63> They must use the same papers for men and women, because I had to fill in whether or not I was pregnant.
<ioiom63> I'm a bit of a dick, so I wrote "You never know!"
<ioiom63> 30 minutes later a nurse is VERY angry with me because they're extremely busy already and I've just made things worse...
<ioiom63> ...because if a patient gives any indication of being unsure whether or not they are pregnant, the staff are legally required to take the time to do a pregnancy test.
<ioiom63> Apparently the rule does not also state "...but only if the patient is female."
<ioiom63> Long story short, I am most definitely NOT pregnant.
<Natrist> what do i do already if i want my variable to be defined once and not get millions of redefiniton errors?
<jrslepak> define it only once
