| 00:13.02 | sjansen | Speaking of stream of consciousness email, some guy just emailed fedora-devel with a very raw message. Half way through he just gave up and quit trying to explain himself. I can understand giving up, but actually adding it to you message and hitting send? |
| 00:15.28 | spr | very tragic. |
| 00:17.08 | hans | you totally lost me |
| 00:17.12 | hans | but I feel your pain. |
| 00:17.41 | sjansen | I would decry the slow death of the English language, but I appear to be a part of the attacking horde. Under the cicumstances, any comments would feel inappropriate. |
| 00:19.29 | spr | Why must everything be double spaced! It looks like crap! |
| 00:19.50 | hans | amen to that |
| 00:19.59 | sjansen | Double spacing makes it easier for the teacher to mark which parts she thinks are crap. |
| 00:20.36 | spr | But the presentation sucks! |
| 00:20.51 | sjansen | *shrug* |
| 00:21.14 | sjansen | Might be less pleasing to the eye, but it's also less tiring for the poor victim reading 20+ papers in an evening. |
| 00:21.17 | hans | I know that's why. That doesn't make it a good reason. |
| 00:21.35 | hans | less tiring? |
| 00:21.50 | hans | I'd think looking at ugly papers would be more tiring |
| 00:21.55 | sjansen | The eye has to do less work to keep track of its current position. |

| 00:22.21 | hans | I can only stand a few minutes of double-spacedness before going insane, and regularly spend hours upon end reading paperback novels. Sorry, not buying it. |
| 00:22.22 | jakea | hans: So, what did you think of the Vulcan arc? |
| 00:22.41 | hans | jakea: liked it, esp. the ambassador character |
| 00:22.57 | hans | thought the rest of the high command needed an obvious pill though. |
| 00:23.00 | jakea | Savol? |
| 00:23.10 | sjansen | *shrug* Just repeating the propaganda I've been fed. Guess your (re)educators were less effective. |
| 00:23.17 | hans | sure, yeah. didn't catch his name |
| 00:23.38 | hans | sjansen: you should know by now that I heartily resist all indoctrination and norms. ;) |
| 00:23.52 | sjansen | Or should that be affective. |
| 00:24.07 | jakea | hans: The ending totally caught me off guard though. An ending worthy of a TNG episode |
| 00:24.29 | hans | in what way did it take you off guard? |
| 00:24.49 | sjansen | When did TNG become the gold standard? |
| 00:24.59 | hans | sjansen: the minute it aired. well, after season 2 |
| 00:25.19 | jakea | well, I knew the the guy in charge of the high command was on crack, but who he talked to after. HELLO! |
| 00:25.25 | hans | have you seen the ds9 tribble episode |
| 00:25.36 | jakea | sjansen: When they made Voyager |
| 00:25.44 | hans | ohh, I see. I'm not familiar with the character, but he's romulan no? |
| 00:25.49 | jakea | the ds9 tribble ep is cool |
| 00:25.53 | sjansen | A kinda randy second in command is nowhere near as intersting as a captain that can't control himself, not even the timing of his pauses. |
| 00:26.06 | jakea | ya, it was |
| 00:26.30 | hans | yeah, I guess that was unexpected. |
| 00:26.55 | *** join/#utah drewbono (~andrew@byu176783wks.rn.byu.edu) |
| 00:26.57 | jakea | randy second it command.... I thought Kirk was the captain. ;) |
| 00:27.54 | hans | oh boy, I haven't heard a good kirk vs. picard soapbox speech in a while |
| 00:28.02 | jakea | lol |
| 00:28.47 | jakea | after kirk vs. picard, let's do Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock |
| 00:29.28 | spr | The Rock nothing! It's all about Stone-cold Steve Austin! |
| 00:30.52 | jakea | Riker? |
| 00:31.04 | jakea | he was no where near as randy as Kirk |
| 00:31.20 | sjansen | Picard wasn't randy. He was too busy playing classical music. |
| 00:31.47 | jakea | they tried to make him at first, then they gave up and only brought it back once in a while |
| 00:31.52 | sjansen | Hence the kinda randy comment. I'm glad you support my example of why TNG isn't the gold standard. |
| 00:32.10 | hans | so the gold standard requires randy? |
| 00:32.31 | sjansen | And Checkov? The closest you have to annoying accent on TNG is Warf. |
| 00:32.34 | *** join/#utah drewbono (~andrew@byu176783wks.rn.byu.edu) |
| 00:32.39 | hans | Worf |
| 00:33.34 | sjansen | Warf, thank you very much, I'm mixing my simalies and simulating my metaphors |
| 00:34.06 | jakea | the actress who plays Troi has a pretty good accent in real life |
| 00:34.14 | sjansen | I will admit, though, that Troy took the cake for annoying characters. |
| 00:34.27 | jakea | she Americanizes it up for the show |
| 00:34.28 | sjansen | And an episode with Troy and Wesley -- oh the pain! |
| 00:34.33 | jakea | Troi? What about Wesley? |
| 00:35.18 | sjansen | And then there's Guinan and Data. Hard to beat them for cool. |
| 00:35.30 | jakea | Brent Spiner is a great actor |
| 00:35.37 | sjansen | I mean eons with your head in a cave. Now that deserves some respect. |
| 00:35.38 | jakea | (Data) |
| 00:35.45 | jakea | lol |
| 00:35.55 | hans | :) |
| 00:35.58 | jakea | my favorite is when Data sings the life forms song |
| 00:36.21 | hans | I didn't mind wes so much. Troi was painful to look at for too many seassons |
| 00:36.41 | hans | and painful to listen to in the first season. *tear* the pain, anger, whatever! |
| 00:36.42 | sjansen | Spocks cool, but he can't beat an android. Maybe TNG is the gold standard. |
| 00:36.58 | synic | any mysql gurus in ? |
| 00:36.59 | sjansen | Much better than that annoying hologram on Voyager. |
| 00:37.08 | spr | I like you you changed your own mind sjansen. |
| 00:37.08 | hans | Sirtis is one of those people that looks _better_ as she gets older. |
| 00:37.25 | hans | I loved the doctor, although I hated that they never named him |
| 00:37.34 | hans | I mean come on - we name linux boxes for crying out loud. |
| 00:37.36 | jakea | Troi reminds me of 2 funnies. 1) her race is the cleavagoids and 2) if she were to be a borg, her name would be Cup of D |
| 00:37.39 | hans | we even name windows boxes. |
| 00:38.16 | sjansen | I'm started to get annoyed by "chef" on Enterprise. |
| 00:38.24 | jakea | The Doctor was cool at first, them much like 7 of 9, he became a crutch for plots along with the Holodeck and The Borg |
| 00:40.32 | jakea | Maquis, if you are out there, could you check to make sure the library uug email alias forward is working. It appears I am not gettin them since the newsletters appeared on PLUG and UPHPU and I have not seen them in my inbox |
| 00:40.57 | Maquis | jakea: huh? |
| 00:41.47 | jakea | there is an alias that goes to the librarian.... |
| 00:42.05 | jakea | libary@uug.byu.edu or something (I don't have my laptop with me or I would look it up) |
| 00:42.06 | hans | am I the only one that thinks floxx (SP?) is like an old, boring, and worn out version of neelix |
| 00:42.28 | jakea | maybe, I like Phlox |
| 00:42.32 | hans | grr. I HATE RPM |
| 00:42.40 | hans | he's also smarter than neelix |
| 00:42.57 | jakea | Neelix was more annoying that young Wesley |
| 00:43.26 | jakea | although is annoying level when down when Kes left the show |
| 00:43.52 | jakea | most likely because 7 of 9 joined at the same time and well, all plot that season were about her |
| 00:43.58 | jakea | +s |
| 00:44.59 | jakea | DS9 though, I loved DS9 (that later half) |
| 00:45.14 | jakea | took a while for that show to get off the ground, but when it did.... it was cool |
| 00:45.19 | Maquis | jakea: i just sent a test message... |
| 00:45.24 | hans | yeah, after julian got over jadzea |
| 00:45.27 | Maquis | and it might actually be signed too |
| 00:45.34 | Maquis | if it is, let me know (and let me know whether you get it) |
| 00:45.40 | Maquis | it might take a few minutes... |
| 00:47.01 | jakea | what I really want Paramount to do is release the Tribbles ep of TOS with the DS9 characters inserted in the specific scenes they were in. That's what George Lucas would do. ;) |
| 00:48.00 | jakea | Maquis: Okay, I got it. I'll have to see whats up with O'Reilly then |
| 00:48.01 | jakea | thx |
| 00:48.12 | synic | anyone know how to set what the next auto increment value should be in mysql? |
| 00:51.04 | Maquis | no prob' |
| 00:51.09 | Maquis | jakea: which was the right address? |
| 00:51.17 | jakea | Um |
| 00:51.22 | synic | or how to reset all the auto increment values to lower values? Lots of rows have been deleted, but the next auto increment value is getting really big. |
| 00:51.25 | Maquis | ok... |
| 00:51.27 | Maquis | just curious |
| 00:51.36 | jakea | I'll let you know |
| 00:51.37 | synic | it would be nice if there were a way to reorder them all |
| 00:51.46 | Maquis | synic: i think that question was either on uug or plug not too long ago |
| 00:51.55 | Maquis | (like 2 or 3 weeks ago, max) |
| 00:51.56 | jakea | synic: I agree, but I have not given much thought to it |
