[20:51]<azyfm>throw new CouldNotParseQuestionException();
[20:52]<azyfm>throw new CouldNotParseQuestionException("Huh?");
[20:52]<cjmgrug>perhaps now is the best time for async functions :p
[20:54]<azyfm>"There is also nothing as satisfying as working with someone when you just select a couple hundreds lines and delete them. The expressions are priceless.
[20:54]<azyfm>"
[20:56]<azyfm>Hmf, the universe has aged again
[20:57]<cjmgrug>its aging every nanosecond.
[20:58]<azyfm>apparently it just got 2 billion years older
[20:59]<cjmgrug>but the other living beings on the far side of the universe, dont really care about it..
[21:01]<azyfm>That's because they're not intelligent
[21:01]<cjmgrug>its so stupid they make stories and movies in which aliens are invading the earth.. the universe is so huge for such stupidity.. there must be infinite earth like planets :p
[21:01]<cjmgrug>we dont even know what 'intelligence' is.. but we just use the term like everyday
[21:02]<azyfm>able to make and utilize tools, able to think abstractly
[21:02]<cjmgrug>but that is a very one sided view, which is LOCAL to use humans
[21:03]<azyfm>the definition is useful enough, and it's the one I was using
[21:03]<cjmgrug>umm not humans, all living beings on earth
[21:03]<mjzymygj|pxjgn>Arild, savants have skills that under normal circumstances are defined as highly intelligent, yet under test conditions (except one case) yeild IQ scores below 70.
[21:04]<mjzymygo>We don't really know what intelligence is
[21:04]<azyfm>that hardly matters since I stated the definition that my statement was based on
[21:05]<mjzymygo>and I am casually stating that your supositions are incorrect.
[21:05]<mjzymygo>;)
[21:05]<azyfm>and by that definition it seems more and more likely that we There is also nothing as satisfying as working with someone when you just select a couple hundreds lines and delete them. The expressions are priceless.
[21:05]<azyfm>"incorrect" doesn't play into it
[21:06]<azyfm>Based on that definition, I assert that it is probable that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe
[21:07]<cjmgrug>intelligence for species on earth, is simply a collection of actions, thoughts etc for our main aim to survive.
[21:07]<azyfm>I don't *care* about a "correct" definition of intelligence
[21:07]<cjmgrug>lol
[21:07]<azyfm>if they're going to invade us, they damn well better be able to make and utilize tools
[21:07]<cjmgrug>haha
[21:07]<mjzymygo>I refute your assertion and substitute my own: we are in a universe of near infinite size, with near infinite possibility to wipe your assertion out
[21:08]<mjzymygo>besides, I think we are not interesting enough to want to invade... ;)
[21:08]<cjmgrug>i wonder if there's life out there, which realises that they need to build better technology, or will they go in another direction...
[21:08]<azyfm>Moridin8: in such a universe, the chance that they would already be here is close to infinitely high
[21:08]<azyfm>but they're not, ergo they don't exist
[21:08]<cjmgrug>no way, Arild
[21:08]<azyfm>yes way
[21:09]<cjmgrug>out of our 11 planets, only earth has life(as of what we know now)
[21:09]<azyfm>when did we get up to eleven?
[21:09]<cjmgrug>so, for now the probability is 11:1
[21:10]<mjzymygo>Arild: there are officially 11 planets in our solar system.
[21:10]<mjzymygo>It was once 13, but they altered the definition
[21:10]<cjmgrug>if it didnt get published in the school textbooks, does not mean they dont exist
[21:10]<azyfm>"he solar system comprises the Sun and the retinue of celestial objects gravitationally bound to it: nine planets and their 165 known moons [1], as well as asteroids, meteoroids, planetoids, comets, and interplanetary dust. Astronomers are debating the classification of a potential tenth planet and other trans-Neptunian objects."
[21:10]<mjzymygo>now it may be 8, because the newer definition would exclude pluto... but it's not still in discussion
[21:10]<cjmgrug>heh
[21:11]<mjzymygo>Arild: do you actually read any science publications?
[21:11]<cjmgrug>no, he just said he doesnt *care* :p
[21:11]<dyguw>If I am developing a server application, where should I apply for a dedicated port number for my application?
[21:11]<mjzymygo>CodeRun: ah... right
[21:11]<pfrcnnus>I'm having a strange issue when I start an application, I have this.Hide(); and this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;. But when the app starts, it just gives me the title box in the lower left hand corner of my screen, above the start menu. Anyone seen this before?
[21:11]<dyguw>ICANN?
[21:11]<azyfm>I subscribe to a feed from a norwegian site on research
[21:11]<azyfm>that's pretty much it
[21:12]<azyfm>CodeRun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox
[21:12]<mjzymygo>minux: www.iana.org
[21:13]<dyguw>ah
[21:13]<cjmgrug>why do people just assume, that aliens would develop technology...
[21:13]<cjmgrug>like spacecrafts or whatever..
[21:13]<dyguw>So, next question :) If I have a service running, how do I manage it? Using RPC? I've searched google for RCP/C#/.NET samples but I've found none.
[21:13]<azyfm>with a close to infinite number of aliens, no one of them would develop technology?
[21:14]<cjmgrug>its not like the ONLY WAY
[21:14]<mjzymygo>minux: IPC is the standard if the process's live on the same machine
[21:14]<cjmgrug>minux : i thought you could choose whatever port you wanted, but just making sure, the other apps, dont use that port.
[21:15]<cjmgrug>Arild: developing technology was one of the infinite ways.
[21:16]<azyfm>so your assertion that among an infinite number of intelligent species, humans were the only ones to utilize the laws of physics (which are universal) in such a way as to create technology?
[21:16]<mjzymygo>arild: nasa publish tenth planet (bigger than pluto)... http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/29jul_planetx.htm
[21:16]<mjzymygo>im trying to find the other
[21:17]<dyguw>Moridin8: IPC? What is that?
[21:17]<mjzymygo>minux: first of all, which version of .NET you using?
[21:18]<dyguw>Moridin8. 2.0
[21:18]<mjzymygo>minux: IPC == Inter-Process-Communication
[21:18]<cjmgrug>uh.. i'm not going to argue, since its just a waste of time.
[21:18]<mjzymygo>minux... then look at remoting. IPC is supported by .NET2 natively
[21:18]<dyguw>CodeRun: Argue about my version of .NET? :P
[21:18]<dyguw>Moridin8: nice
[21:18]<cjmgrug>no
[21:18]<dyguw>CodeRun: okay :)
[21:23]<dyguw>Company policy: "Not commenting written source code is grounds for immediate cancellation of employment." <- Good or bad?
[21:23]<mjzymygo>good
[21:23]<azyfm>unclear
[21:23]<azyfm>i++; // increment i by 1
[21:23]<mjzymygo>non commented source code has been the bane of my existance for the last 8 months
[21:24]<dyguw>Arild: lol
[21:24]<mjzymygo>arild: *LOL* good point, but that don't usually count ;)
[21:24]<afd>hi all!
[21:24]<azyfm>That's why I said it was unclear
[21:24]<afd>I put my patched doxygen for C# to http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=6285
[21:24]<afd>:)
[21:25]<mjzymygo>here is the other one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90377_Sedna
[21:25]<azyfm>You could write a comment like that on every line and claim you follow company policy
[21:25]<afd>if you are looking for document generating apps :)
[21:26]<dyguw>Regarding asynch socket programming, if my BeginAcceptTcpClient callback runs a shitload of code, does .NET automatically fire up a new thread to manage the other BeginAcceptTcpClient calls?
[21:26]<mjzymygo>anotherL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50000_Quaoar
[21:27]<mjzymygo>"...The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is scheduled to publish the definition of the term "planet" in early September 2006..."
[21:27]<azyfm>hah, I win then
[21:27]<mjzymygo>arild: sure ;)
[21:27]<mjzymygo>right;)
[21:27]<mjzymygo>of course you do
[21:28]<azyfm>You said "official"
[21:28]<azyfm>and my calendar says august 2006
