[13:11]<kjr>rikkus: glad to see I'm not the only one that can't type to you rikkus
[13:11]<zyccus>whoami
[13:11]<dyguw>rikkus: I thought it was pronounced "datta" :)
[13:11]<drdyrrr_>i say dayta
[13:11]<kjr>rikkus: I say it... like damieng_ who types faster
[13:11]<dyguw>Daytona beach.
[13:12]<drdyrrr_>like dayte for date not dat eee
[13:12]<zyccus>I've never heard anyone say 'dartar' in real life
[13:12]<kjr>damieng_: Litmus test: you know the singular form right?
[13:12]<dyguw>I say Dayta...
[13:12]<kjr>rikkus: DarTar is a member of #wikka
[13:12]<kjr>true story.
[13:12]<drdyrrr_>datum iirc
[13:12]<kjr>damieng_: you do
[13:13]<dyguw>Hmm, I need more control, is there any advanced firewall for Windows XP? Like OpenBSD's PF.
[13:13]<drdyrrr_>took a while for it to come back from long term storage tho
[13:13]<zyccus>It's important to know the singular, but never to use it in real life
[13:13]<dzzctzrrzg>minux: unplug your network cable
[13:13]<dyguw>lol
[13:13]<kjr>damieng_: the datum was not readily retrievable?
[13:13]<drdyrrr_>it was archived
[13:13]<dzzctzrrzg>compressed?
[13:13]<drdyrrr_>fell out of the working set.
[13:13]<dzzctzrrzg>lol
[13:13]<kjr>rikkus: stuff like that can lose you a job
[13:13]<dzzctzrrzg>did you have to look in the TLB?
[13:13]<drdyrrr_>i don't know if it's compressed - the api is abstracted.
[13:14]<zyccus>like you should also know the name for a half-octet, but never use it
[13:14]<kjr>if some jackass showed up in my office talking about data and methodology I'd boot his ass out the door
[13:14]<kjr>rikkus: dude... nybble
[13:14]<drdyrrr_>nibble
[13:14]<zyccus>Kog: you're fired
[13:14]<dzzctzrrzg>heh
[13:14]<kjr>damieng_: unfortunately the correct spelling has a y in it
[13:14]<drdyrrr_>kog, just proves the last time i needed it ;-)
[13:14]<kjr>which idiot thought that up, I have no idea
[13:14]<dyguw>Datum is the Swedish word for date :)
[13:14]<zyccus>damieng gets points for not knowing the correct spelling though - it proves he's not _too_ geeky
[13:14]<kjr>minux: something you're not going to have for quite some time
[13:15]<dzzctzrrzg>i'd go for 4 bits, myself
[13:15]<dyguw>Kog: Eh, why not? :)
[13:15]<drdyrrr_>not too geeky? I was studying non-uniform quantization last night.
[13:15]<kjr>rikkus: you'd think I'd know that given the last 4 years
[13:15]<-- dvxn|syzzzyus xzs>http://www.bagdadsoftware.de")
[13:15]<dyguw>damieng_: lol
[13:15]<kjr>minux: because apparently your woman just beat you into a pulp
[13:15]<zyccus>damieng_: ok then perhaps you're just focussed on more interesting stuff
[13:15]<dyguw>Kog: nono
[13:15]<drdyrrr_>heh, it's actually my final year for my degree
[13:16]<drdyrrr_>just done huffman coding (again) and hammering codes (yawn)
[13:16]<kjr>damieng_: for the microarch and digital logic sections we said nybble a lot
[13:16]<zyccus>damieng_: hamming?
[13:16]<drdyrrr_>it's an error correction thing rikkus
[13:16]<zyccus>you wrote hammering
[13:16]<kjr>I think we said it primarily because our prof thought it was funny
[13:16]<drdyrrr_>doh, i'm sleepy
[13:16]<drdyrrr_>yeah hamming
[13:17]<dyguw>10th decimal, is that the X in 0.X ?
[13:17]<drdyrrr_>yeah this is the last year of my comp sci. started it in 1999
[13:17]<zyccus>wow
[13:17]<kjr>minux: if your question is does 0.1 = 10/100, then yes
[13:17]<drdyrrr_>part-time study so takes twice as long.
[13:17]<zyccus>I wish I had the energy to study while working
[13:17]<kjr>(or, consequentially 1/10)
[13:17]<drdyrrr_>rikkus, me too :D
[13:18]<kjr>damieng_: yeah... I unfortunately did both full time
[13:18]<drdyrrr_>ouch
[13:18]<zyccus>I quite fancy doing a PhD
[13:18]<kjr>damieng_: it was ok until I got the second full-time job
[13:19]<zyccus>but I think I'm more attracted to the idea of stopping work and doing the studying
[13:19]<kjr>rikkus: do you have anything interesting to research...?
[13:19]<zyccus>Kog: loads of things... though my favourite is taken
[13:20]<kjr>anything doctoral quality to research
[13:20]<kjr>I mean, I see people with a lame thesis all the time... it dissapoints me and cheapens the entire idea of a doctorate
[13:20]<kjr>rikkus: and would you use TeX?
[13:21]<zyccus>I wanted to try and twist Ruby into working on the CLR
[13:21]<zyccus>but there's already 3 projects underway, plus a bridge
[13:21]<zyccus>and one I think is officially research
[13:22]<zyccus>I'd use LyX
[13:22]<kjr>building a ruby -> .net bridge doesn't seem worthy of a doctorate to me
[13:22]<kjr>rikkus: LyX... also acceptable
[13:22]<zyccus>not really, no
[13:23]<zyccus>I think the interesting question would be: what should happen to the CLR to enable it to support dynamic languages more easily?
[13:23]<zyccus>because I doubt any of the Ruby efforts are going to succeed completely
[13:23]<zyccus>and then implementing it... using mono/portable.net/rotor
[13:24]<kjr>interesting, but doesn't seem worth awarding a graduate degree for
[13:24]<kjr>unless it was in applied CS
[13:24]<kjr>even then, I'm not sure
[13:25]<kjr>you know... I always seem to think the MSB on unix permissions is on the right instead of left
[13:25]<zyccus>people write theses on complete rubbish these days
[13:25]<kjr>I'm aware
[13:26]<zyccus>I could do it for a US university - they will take O level standard stuff
[13:26]<kjr>neh, you can find a uni in any country that's bullshit... it's like sh opping
[13:27]<kjr>apparently Google Maps doesn't like being given the location of "Just left of Waldo" - I guess Google can't find Waldo either
[13:28]<lcs>under my bed!
[13:28]<kjr>pks: behind Vin Diesel?
[13:29]<lcs>i wonder when google maps will point to the right location, when queried with ip address
[13:29]<lcs>or just give the region where the ip address might be located
[13:29]<lcs>or at least will give the ISP location :)
