00:34.22Teneherlo: you don't get any points for voting for the candidate that won. (and if you ever do, that's a bad sign)

04:48.52Tenefozzmoo: Who is?
04:48.54fozzmooNice.
04:48.57fozzmooThe news.
04:49.16fozzmooI saw it on the DrudgeReport. It's got to be true.
04:49.24TeneGot to be.
04:52.46herlofozzmoo: just note, that's the democrats, Romney won the republican side
04:52.56fozzmooherlo: Yes, I know.
04:53.08fozzmooAnyone surprised? :)
04:53.14herlonope
04:53.32fozzmooI'm surprised Hillary's winning anything, really.
04:53.43fozzmooWhat REALLY surprises me is the racist attitudes in the south.
04:53.52fozzmooHillary's kickin butt in southern states.
04:54.02Tenefozzmoo: that's surprising?
04:54.16fozzmooTene: There *are* more black people in the south.
04:56.50herlofozzmoo: I think hillary is gonna win, have thought that for a couple years now
04:56.59herlonot that I want her to win
04:57.12fozzmooIt's tough to say who will win the nomination at this point.
04:57.28fozzmooBut, yeah, that kinda goes with my 1976 theory.
04:57.32herlofozzmoo: I know, but I mean hillary *will* be pres
04:57.38TeneWhat do people who like hilary like about her?
04:57.47Tenefozzmoo: 1976 theory?
04:57.56fozzmooI think 2008 is a repeat of 1976
04:58.04Tenefozzmoo: what happened then?
04:58.06herlowho won in 1976?
04:58.13fozzmooCarter won the presidency
04:58.25herlooh, right
04:58.27fozzmooReagan ran in 76 but lost the nomination to Ford...
04:58.31fozzmoowho lost to Carter.
04:58.31herlowas thinking he won 80
04:58.35herlobut that was reagan
04:58.49TeneWhat's similar about the two elections?
04:59.02fozzmooWell, Reagan was clearly the more inspirational candidate for republicans.
04:59.13fozzmooFord really didn't offer much to be excited about.
04:59.20fozzmooCarter was a terrible president.
04:59.29fozzmooJust as Hillary would/will be.
04:59.36Teneso why did he win?
04:59.59RyanEleadership vacuum
05:00.06fozzmooBecause after Nixon and Ford, people wanted change for change's sake.
05:00.19fozzmooThe economy was in bad shape.
05:00.28fozzmooPeople blamed the republicans (who had been in power)
05:00.59herlofozzmoo: as per normal, blame those who just left for problems caused 20 years earlier
05:01.20RyanEfortunately for the republicans, Carter didn't do any better, and got slaughtered by Reagan's "Morning in America" themes.
05:01.32fozzmooWell, Carter just made things 10x worse.
05:01.38fozzmooMajor inflation took hold.
05:01.50RyanEgas shortages were not popular, either.
05:01.59fozzmooCatch any of those late 70s, early 80s re-runs of The Price Is Right on GSN and you'll see what I mean.
05:02.01RyanEand then the hostages in Iran didn't get resolved.

06:25.45Supaplex*is* being the key word.
06:26.54vontrappso you were right
06:27.14tensaiwell of course I was
06:27.30tensaiI've been trying to teach my family metric of late, so it's fresh on my mind
06:27.45vontrappi've just been using it
06:27.59vontrappso i see -12 and i'm like, "yeah, that's cold!"
06:28.15SargunHm.
06:28.15vontrappbut my wife says, "how cold is it? what's the F?"
06:28.37vontrappand i say, "it's -12C cold"
06:28.41tensaiI changed our thermometer to metric and my wife thought it was super cold outside

06:29.03SargunAtomic clock digital thermometer
06:29.03tensaiSargun: yeah. with a remote.
06:29.27SargunNeato
06:29.34SargunDoes it interface over serial with a computer
06:29.36vontrappso is int("10") the best way to do it in python? this site says a lot of his examples probably aren't used
06:29.39vontrappthat was one of them
06:30.05vontrappi already miss ruby, where even numbers are objects and have methods
06:30.13vontrappand the splat
06:30.15vontrappi need splat
06:30.30vontrappplease tell me python has splat, or i might give up on it prematurely
06:30.45Sargunsplat?
06:30.49vontrapp*
06:30.54vontrapp*ary
06:30.54Sargunyou mean the RF toolkit
06:31.14Sargunvontrapp, Splat in what context?!
06:31.29vontrappso like, if i have a method foo, and foo takes 3 args, foo(a,b,c)
06:31.39vontrappand i have ary=[1,2,3]
06:31.44vontrappthen i can do foo(*ary)
06:32.12vontrappor, in my python i have: modexp(sys.argv[0], sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])
06:32.22tensaiSargun: no computer interface. I thought about looking for one of those, but honestly I don't care. not at home anyway.
06:32.25vontrappbut i want modexp(*sys.argv)
06:32.48Sarguntensai, Yeah, but they are neat.
06:32.58tensaiwe use these in our datacenters
06:33.01tensaihttp://www.weathershop.com/temptrax-E.htm
06:33.08brac[TempTrax Model E]
06:33.11vontrappyou can even do: a, b, c = *ary
06:33.13Sargunuhh
06:33.18vontrappthen a = 1, b = 2, c = 3
06:33.20tensaithey come with ridiculously long probes. not wireless though.
06:33.28SargunOoh, neato
06:34.26vontrappbasically, it turns what python would call a list into what python would call a tuple
06:34.50levielg: I did at one point, but I don't remember what's available.
06:34.58Sarguntuple([1,2,3])
06:35.01Sargunlike tha?
06:35.02Sargunthat
06:35.03levielg: There are quite a few, though, IIRC.
06:35.07vontrappyou can even do it in reverse
06:35.11vontrapp*ary = 1, 2, 3, 4
06:35.16vontrappary = [1,2,3,4]
06:35.40vontrapp^^ equivalent
06:35.41Sargunvontrapp, ary=tuple(ary)
06:35.56Sargunary=list(arhy)
06:36.53vontrappmodexp(tuple(sys.argv)) is still saying it's only getting one argument

19:23.35vontrappi have younger brothers, and i don't want precedent set for my kids (since the war will apparently go on 100 years)
19:23.54sjansenOn the other hand, many in the military are opposed. The excellence of our armed forces is based on the fact only the brave and dedicated bother applying.
19:24.36dataw0lfwell, the "excellence" of our military is declining rapidly any way with the enormous stress they're putting on our infrastructure by being involved in two occupational wars
19:24.45dataw0lfs/any way/anyway
19:24.49fozzmooMandatory service is not that uncommon outside the US.
19:24.56fozzmooNot that I'm saying we should...
19:25.05fozzmooI don't really have a clear opinion on that
19:25.39dataw0lfI've been pushing for the draft for several years.
19:25.55vontrappi could be in favor of a draft on the conditions that drafted personnel can only fight ON OUR OWN LAND
19:26.12sjansenThat's a stupid requirement and you know it.
19:26.17WeggOoo I'd vote for that
19:26.28elg^Migs^: it's merely a talent you lack. you could enhance your ability to understand indian accents
19:26.36vontrappif nobody is making it to our homeland, then why do we need a draft?
19:27.05sjansenWWII is an excellent example of why to use a draft. If we had waited for Nazi Germany to land on American shores before responding, it would have been a lot uglier for us.
19:27.31sjansenThe lesson of Vietnam and Iraq is not "stay at home". It's "war is only a last resort".
19:27.46vontrappbut you can use the drafted people to do all the bazillions of jobs i'm sure exist in the us, and free up volunteer troops to go overseas
19:27.47dataw0lfindeed.
19:28.09dataw0lf(to "war is only a last resort")
19:28.16vontrappditto
19:28.31rsimpkinsI wonder if someone would get in trouble/arrested if they published a terrorist plan as a point of discussion, then a terrorist actually carried it out.
19:28.58dataw0lfrsimpkins: with the PATRIOT act you could probably be pulled in for publishing the terrorist plan
19:29.19vontrappso much for freedom of speech
19:29.21dataw0lfat the very least you'd be monitored
19:29.53vontrapphmm, reinstalling word apparently didn't work
19:29.58vontrappsame error
19:32.23rsimpkinsI think it is strange that you can't talk about what terrorist attacks might occur - becuase it is illegal and might give 'them' ideas.
19:32.30sjansenvontrapp: To be fair, Ron Paul supporters aren't exactly helping themselves.
19:32.35rsimpkinsLike they are incompentent or something and can't think of ideas on their own.
19:32.58Weggwhy is that sjansen?
19:33.29sjansenRon Paul supporters seem to be universally annoying. "Vote Ron Paul! He's not dead yet!"
19:33.37ShadowwireLooks like McCain will be our next president.
19:33.42sjansen"Vote Ron Paul! We know how to hang signs from over passes!"
19:33.45rsimpkinsShadowwire: Signs point to no.
19:33.56vontrappwell people who vote based on "viability" are 100 times more annoying
19:34.02ShadowwireWhat sighs are those?
19:34.04rsimpkinsShadowwire: Pratice saying 'Mrs. President' :)
19:34.18ShadowwireI rather die.
19:34.24sjansen"Vote Ron Paul! Vote Ron Paul! Vote Ron Paul!"
19:34.28rsimpkinsShadowwire: Prepare to die, then. :)
19:34.33sjansenWhy should I throw away my vote? Huh?
19:34.46ShadowwireI hope your not saying you will vote Hitlery
19:35.05rsimpkinsShadowwire: I'm not, I'm just saying I think she will win - but a long shot.
19:35.05vontrappsjansen: that's exactly the problem, that attitude is what makes it a throw away in the first place
19:35.09rsimpkinsby
19:35.11sjansenNow if the message were "A vote for Ron Paul is a vote to return to conservativism!" maybe it wouldn't be so annoying.
19:35.15Wegg“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”  -- John Quincy Adams
19:35.26WeggIf you don't vote closest to what you believe then how will our elected leaders know what we want as a people?
19:35.28sjansenBut the message is "Vote Ron Paul! Vote Ron Paul! Vote Ron Paul!"
19:35.37Weggif we just go with what CNN tells us then they pick the winner.
19:35.49sjansenWe don't need a generation of Ron Paul dittoheads repeating the Rush Limbaugh experience.
19:36.03ShadowwireThats right, Vote Ron Paul and split the vote. Let hillary into office.
19:36.11WeggI hate Rush Limbaugh
19:36.19vontrappsjansen: i've repeatedly told poeple to vote their conscience, and only call people on voting for less than pure reasons
19:36.30Shadowwire?
19:36.53fozzmooWegg: Why do you hate Rush Limbaugh?
19:36.56rsimpkinsWegg: I'm glad you would rather vote for ron paul than defend the republican party against hillary clinton, but not everyone agrees. :)
19:37.11WeggI don't like what the Republican party has become.
19:37.13vontrapprsimpkins: and therein lies the problem
19:37.21Weggthey are socialists and warmongers.
19:37.35Weggand fiscally. . . totally off the charts stupid.
19:37.35ShadowwireWhere are you from Wegg?
19:37.39WeggAustralia
19:37.42fozzmooWegg: Neither do I... and while Rush is more of a shill for the republican party than I think he shoudl be, he is pretty solid on basic republican principles.
19:37.45vontrappso the real dittoheads are those "supporting" the republican party for the party's sake
19:37.52ShadowwireAnd where do you live?
19:37.56WeggUtah
19:38.13fozzmoos/republican/conservative/
19:38.16nick125_If Clinton gets the democratic nomination, I'm going to start rooting republican.
19:38.17fozzmooArghj
19:38.24Sargunnick125_, hahah
19:38.24ShadowwireWegg: how long have you been here?
19:38.38nick125_Sargun: I'm not kidding
19:38.43fozzmooRush is a good conservative. That's what I'm trying to say.
19:38.46rsimpkinsShadowwire: See the infighting? Exactly why Mrs. President will be coming to a nations capital near you. :)
19:38.51WeggRush, the few times I have heard him is just negative all the time.  He constantly attacks people.  Ron never does that.  He is just so enthusiastic about his ideas and about why our founding fathers were so damn smart etc.  
19:38.57vontrappif the republican party doesn't want the vote split, they need to stop being shameless pigs
19:39.01fozzmooHe's easy to hate because his Ego is the size of his listening audience.
19:39.07WeggShadowwire I have been here 18 years.
19:39.13Shadowwirersimpkins: I guess your right.
19:39.59ShadowwireWegg: Who would you rather see in office; Hillary or McCain?
19:40.03rsimpkinsI believe Ron Paul will have to good sense to not mess things up after the nomination.
19:40.17rsimpkinsRight now, he really is just making more of a philisophical point.
19:40.29WeggHillary
19:40.30ShadowwireHmmm. That makes sense.
19:40.39rsimpkinsRon Paul isn't really hurting anything right now.
19:40.51ShadowwireWegg...  Never mind.
19:41.09WeggIf we are going to have "Big Government" anyway. . . I'd rather it be run by people who are compassionate and not a "neo-con"
19:41.12rsimpkinsHe would only cause problems in a very tight race between mc cain, and clinton - but I don't think that will happen. I predict clinton will win by a noticable margin.
19:41.17vontrappShadowwire: you would put mccain in office?
19:41.23vontrappi would put ANYONE before him
19:41.32ShadowwireWhy?
19:41.33sjansenThe republican part doesn't deserve control of congress or the white house.
19:41.34WeggI'd rather Obama
19:41.44Weggnope they don't.
19:41.49fozzmooIt's hard to pick between Obama and Clinton.
19:41.58ShadowwireWhy?
19:42.01fozzmooI mean, Obama is THE most liberal senator in office, based on his record.
19:42.09WeggI like how Obama talks.  he is a great speaker.  
19:42.15rsimpkinsIt doesn't matter what might have been, only what is. Focusing on the reality of 'now' is why Ron Paul had so many issues.
19:42.17fozzmooSo, if liberal policies are offensive to you... then you can't vote on his record.
19:42.19sjansenIt took a Republican Congress and a Republican president to return to deficit spending and under plan a war of choice.
19:42.31fozzmooClinton is so... divisive and power hungry...
19:42.38sjansenIf that's how Republicans behave, give me Democrats.
19:42.45fozzmoosjansen: Exactly.
19:43.00fozzmooSo, yeah, it's hard to decide between Obama and Clinton
19:43.06fozzmooI agree that Obama is a great speaker...
19:43.24fozzmoobut we shouldn't elect someone based on their eloquence.
19:43.28WeggHe doesn't have all the Clinton baggage.
19:43.35vontrapprsimpkins: i object, it matters what COULD be
19:43.37fozzmooYou're right.
19:43.38vontrappnot what is
19:43.56sjansenHard? We don't need another Clinton. Even if she didn't mean a continuation of divisive politics, we still wouldn't need to establish a tradition of dynasty.
19:44.04ShadowwireI still predict that McCain will win.
19:44.22fozzmooI don't think McCain can win.
19:44.27WeggI think he is smart, he is enthusiastic, he is approachable and would represent a very big direction change.
19:44.34fozzmooHe's not good enough to out-speak Obama
19:44.42sjansenfozzmoo: Lincoln was a great speaker. Should we have not elected him for an ability clearly and compellingly present information?
19:44.44fozzmooAnd the Clinton machine is just too good.
19:44.51vontrapphaha, i read something on the MTV rock the vote site an entire article on voting for someone based on how "presidential" they appear to be
19:44.55fozzmoosjansen: Liincoln was MORE than just a good speaker.
19:45.05rsimpkinsClinton has said some pretty amazingly stupid things. But, so has Bush - what do you do? :)
19:45.10WeggBush SUCKED as a speaker against Kerry. . . but still won.
19:45.14fozzmooWho's defending Bush? :)
19:45.17sjansenLeaders lead. We don't need a "decider" we need a leader. Someone who knows how to recognize and attract competent advisers.
19:45.26WeggNever underestimate the stupidity of American's old people.
19:45.27Wegg:-(
19:45.42Shadowwireor young people.
19:45.53rsimpkinsWegg: So the most experienced among us happen to be the least competent some how?
19:46.01sjansenMost of our problems are a result of decision Congress made, not decisions of the president.
19:46.06pashdownI think McCain will win against Clinton
19:46.07vontrappactually, the federal power-grabbing trend can be traced back to lincoln
19:46.14rsimpkinspashdown: In Utah. :)
19:46.14sjansenIt's just easier to point at and blame presidents.
19:46.18pashdownNo, nationwide.
19:46.19nick125_pashdown: I agree.
19:46.19fozzmooBush vs Kerry was "Who bores you the least?"
19:46.31rsimpkinspashdown: Well, you have more experience with it than I do.
19:46.32pashdownRepublicans will rise from the grave to vote against Hillary, even if it is McCain.
19:46.41Shadowwireyes.
19:46.46pashdowni've never run for president :-)
19:46.52rsimpkinspashdown: If they aren't busy fighting about Ron Paul, that is. :)
19:46.53sjansenA presidents responsiblity is to make sure law is enforce. A presidents responsiblity is to lead congress to solve problems.
19:46.54pashdownso we're all experts here
19:47.03WeggMcCain said himself that Washington has changed him.  His positions are all muddy and almost always against what I believe.  At least Obama gets a few things right.
19:47.06fozzmooThere might actually be an opportunity for a viable third party this year.
19:47.07nick125_I remember reading somewhere that most of the NM exit polls, the people who voted for Obama said they voted because they wanted change. The ones that voted for Clinton did so because of name recognition.
19:47.08fozzmooWe'll have to see.
19:47.26sjansenIf Obama can bring people together, restore home and move away from fear mongering politics, I'd say those are pretty good qualifications.
19:47.32fozzmoonick125_: The ones who voted for Obama didn't have enough money to catch a bus back home.
19:47.37pashdownfozz, if perot comes back, maybe clinton can win again
19:47.41fozzmooThat's why they were asking the reporters for change.
19:47.50nick125_fozzmoo: haha
19:48.06Shadowwirenice.
19:48.23dataw0lfI'm excited about Obama
19:48.31vontrapphaha, that's soo funny, wake up! it's real
19:48.34ShadowwireI havnt heard any convincing arguments why mccain wont win.
19:48.35sjansenOf course, McCain could also bring sanity back to our international approach. Stop under funding and over using the military. Clearly state we don't support torture, and will no quietly endorse it.
19:48.35rsimpkinspashdown: Do you think someone like Al Gore stepping in could steal enough votes to take it?
19:48.37pashdownwatching the exit poll videos on "why did you vote for?" was depressing
19:48.42pashdownits too late for gore
19:48.56vontrappdo you think we have poor because they want to be poor?
19:48.59dataw0lffozzmoo: that'd be funny if Clinton wasn't the one attracting poor people
19:49.06rsimpkinspashdown: Maybe if he was in a few months ago?
19:49.11WeggShadowwire. . . how about this. . . 70% of people in the US want us out of Iraq.
19:49.12vontrappit's our crashing economy and over regulation of everything
19:49.15fozzmooI don't think Gore stands a chance against Obama.
19:49.26pashdownmaybe, he must really not want to run
19:49.41sjansenAnd Romney could bring financial realism, maybe even returning the Democrats legacy of balancing the budget and paying down the debt.
19:50.01Weggthere is a novel idea.
19:50.03pashdownromney isn't going to happen
19:50.05Wegga balanced budget.
19:50.16pashdownvp speculation is more relevant on the gop side now
19:50.17ShadowwireSo does McCain, Just the correct way. Not leaving a power vacume for some other dictator.
19:50.33sjansenI'd praise Hillary for recognizing the importance of health care, but at this point everyone sees our system is broken and only govt. has the influence necessary to find a solution.
19:50.33fozzmooYeah- a lot of people on TV last night were wondering why Romney didn't talk about his track record rescuing businesses and projects while campaigning in California.
19:50.41fozzmooInstead, he talked about his conservative credentials.
19:50.46^Migs^I don't think romney is going to happen either
19:50.50fozzmooNot really that relevant to Californians
19:51.22pashdownsjansen, but why does hillary need 12 years to fix health care?  that's my problem with her plan.  8 years should be enough for any president to get something like that accomplished.
19:51.35rsimpkinsI think romney dropped the ball back in Iowa.
19:51.38ShadowwireI would agree.
19:51.47vontrapp"fixing health care" sends chills down my spine
19:51.57ShadowwireI like Romney, But he's out of the race.
19:51.59^Migs^I think it's pretty clear the next president will be a Democrat.
19:52.01sjansenThe only way to solve health care is to eliminate insurance companies. That's gonna take some doing.
19:52.01dataw0lfrsimpkins: I don't think Romney had a chance to start with
19:52.06vontrappwhat we really need is government stepping out of the way so health care can "fix" itself
19:52.08^Migs^Romney would have been the best choice, it's true
19:52.10ShadowwireI think Migs is wrong.
19:52.16pashdown"paying through the nose for employee healthcare" makes my face hurt every day
19:52.21rsimpkinspashdown: Because if the plan fails she doesn't have to take all the blame?
19:52.45sjansenWhen an insurance company says "you can't have a $3million surgery" that's heartless. When the govt says it, that's reality.
19:52.46^Migs^when Romney lost Florida, it decided the final results of November's election
19:52.57^Migs^McCain is not someone all Republicans are going to rally behind
19:53.04fozzmoopashdown: You should talk to the Guru Labs guys about how they do it.
19:53.10pashdowni had to fight my insurance company over coverage of my daughter's broken finger last year
19:53.11Jayce^^Migs^, no, when he lost CA, that was the point..
19:53.13dataw0lf^Migs^: you think they would around Romney?!
19:53.18sjansenSo long as we consider expensive procedures a right, health care will be too expensive.
19:53.25^Migs^moreso than McCain
19:53.29dataw0lfthere's too much anti-mormon sentiment in the Republican party
19:53.37vontrappsjansen: bingo
19:53.38^Migs^frankly, I think all the Republican candidates aren't that great.  I kind of like them all, but they're not the Republicans I'm used to
19:53.43Weggdid you win pashdown?
19:53.49dataw0lfand even those who don't think Mormons are incarnations of the devil have a lot of untrue beliefs.
19:53.53pashdownwhich race? :-)
19:54.09^Migs^it's strange how religion actually plays such a huge role in American politics
19:54.10dataw0lfpashdown: are you planning on running for the Senate again?
19:54.17Weggyour daughters broken finger and getting money out of your insurance company.
19:54.24^Migs^you go up to Canada, nobody cares about the religion of their politicians
19:54.25pashdownoh yeah, for the most part
19:54.30fozzmooBut, yeah, the problem with health care costs in this country really aren't going to be solved by more government.
19:54.31pashdowni still had to pay about $1000 for it
19:54.39pashdowneven though i have the best insurance you can get from blue cross

19:57.09dataw0lfI honestly could care less what religion you're part of.
19:57.17fozzmooThe problem with health care is partly greedy and discompassionate insurance companies, partly malpractice insurance, partly high R&D costs, and part government over-regulation.
19:57.20Weggthat shouldn't be part of it.
19:57.26pashdownwe need a president who firmly believes in FSM

19:58.30fozzmooWell, malpractice insurance anyway.

20:02.35WeggParents want to give their kids a fresh start. . . and it ends up bringing all the baggage with them.  :-(
20:02.37dataw0lfI think that probably has more to do with illegal immigrants and the fact that the LDS church brings over a lot of poor people after missionary work (Samoa, etc)
20:02.57WeggOk well. . . yea that makes sense.
20:03.02dataw0lfBut, uh, I promise my agnostic kids won't contaminate your neighborhood ;-)
20:03.22dataw0lfDraft!
20:03.50findlayyay
20:03.59rsimpkinsWe have some great neighbors. They are awesome people. They are not LDS. Several of our other LDS nieghbors won't let their kids play with this family's kids - because they aren't LDS>
20:04.08rsimpkinsThat's just wrong to me, but that is the message we send.
20:04.17findlayrsimpkins: you're so prejudiced
20:04.26rsimpkinsClearly. :)
20:04.26dataw0lfrsimpkins: really?  erk.  My parents raised my youngest sister in Salt Lake and didn't have that problem.
20:04.40findlayjust trying to stir up some controversy
20:04.48rsimpkinsdataw0lf: This is Utah County - a little more steeped in the culture than SLC maybe. :)
20:04.58sjansenHillary isn't evil. Calling Hillary evil just makes you look stupid.
20:05.06dataw0lfAh, yea, I probably wouldn't venture THAT far south.  Don't want to burst into flames and all that.
20:05.20WeggI taught Primary and I asked them point blank.  "Lets pretend Bobby here goes to another church. . . can we still be friends with him?"  Overwhelmingly the kids yelled out NO!
20:05.25WeggThats screwed up.
20:05.39sjansenHillary is ambitious. For some reason we don't respect that, especially not in woman, but it's a positive trait as long as the person is honest.
20:05.55rsimpkinsWegg: Yeah, the culture is becomign more eleitist.
20:06.00Weggyup
20:06.05rsimpkinsWe need a good wake up call.
20:06.09sjansenHillary cares. She might have different opinions that you, but she does want to make the US a better place.
20:06.09dataw0lfWegg: dang.  I was pretty defensive when I first moved to Utah but eventually learned everybody wasn't trying to convert me.
20:06.10Weggyup
20:06.20rsimpkinsTom Monson to tell us all to sell our homes and move to south america. :)
20:06.30Weggdataw0lf. . . I live in Orem Utah
20:06.36Weggvery different to Salt Lake IMO
20:06.39sjansenHillary has experience. She's tended to overplay it, but acting like she has no experience just makes you look stupid.
20:06.41^Migs^I'm seeing a bunch of sites that say to use SeamlessRDP you need VMWare or VirtualBox.  Why would I need this, if I can connect to an actual Windows Terminal Server?
20:06.55^Migs^problem is I tried doing just that, connecting from my Ubuntu Linux box here to my Windows XP box, and it wouldn't work
20:07.03dataw0lfsjansen: yup, and Hillary HAS gotten stuff done.
20:07.05sjansenI'm tired of all the blind Hillary hatred. I don't plan on voting for her, but geez, what is is people?
20:07.17ShadowwireYea Bill.
20:07.25sjansenIs is sexism? Afraid of a woman in power?
20:07.38dataw0lfThe problem I have with Hillary is moer about her being so politicized and her same Democratic rhetoric when it comes to working with Republicans.
20:07.42elgis it bad memories of billy bob?
20:07.51WeggI don't know.  But now that McCain is "our" guy. . . I'm going to have to re-think that.
20:07.52^Migs^I'm with dataw0lf.
20:08.01ShadowwireHer policies on Guns, Econemy, Abortion, Healthcare, ....
20:08.08sjansenIs is Bill? Afraid another Democratic president will do a better job than our current Republicans president?
20:08.27^Migs^to some degree, it kind of does boil down to that, sjansen.  WHen she lost in Iowa, she was in tears.  IN TEARS.  Is that the kind of person you want for president, someone who starts crying when things don't go their way?
20:08.55sjansenYou'd rather have a president that hides with a group of little children as planes fly into buildings?
20:09.04sjansenOf course I'm exaggerating, but so are you.
20:09.10ShadowwireIm not.
20:09.12SargunAre you saying that Bush is better than Hilary?
20:09.19ShadowwireYes.
20:09.22SargunYou want shitty internet?
20:09.23Sarguner
20:09.27Sargunexcuse my languag
20:09.35sjansenShadowwire: Okay, so you disagree with her policies. That doesn't make her evil.
20:09.37WeggI hate guns.  Scare the crap out of me.  Your 4 times more likely to be shot by accident than by you robbing someone.  I hate the way the Republicans have run the economy. . . time for someone else to get a chance. . . Women should have the right to pick what they do with their own bodies (within reason) and Healthcare. . . is so jacked up right now. . . that again. . . time for "change"  <shudder>.
20:09.54Shadowwiresure it does.   to me.
20:09.56sjansenIf anyone is evil it's the people trying to tar Hillary as evil without even thinking about her policies.
20:10.12dataw0lfsjansen: I agree though
20:10.27dataw0lf^Migs^: she wasn't in tears
20:10.31ShadowwireI have followed this thing from the beginning.
20:10.36dataw0lfHas anyone actually watched that footage of Hillary "crying" ?
20:10.44WeggI'll support Ron Paul all I can till that isn't an option any more. . . but . . . time to start looking around.
20:10.45dataw0lfshe, like, sniffled for half a second.
20:10.53ShadowwireShe was not in tears...   Not on camera anyway.
20:11.00sjansenIt's possible for a Freedom loving, charitable, economically reasonable person to hold different opinions than you.
20:11.07Jayce^I want to keep my 2nd ammendment rights, I think the goverment should do less (esp on the economy), I do not want federal/mandated healthcare...  which locks me out of the democrats
20:11.10ShadowwireWho?
20:11.24sjansenAnyone.
20:11.38dataw0lfI don't think they've ever come close to taking away your 2nd amendment, Jayce^
20:11.42dataw0lfThey restricted assault rifles
20:11.46dataw0lf*I* didn't like it
20:11.53dataw0lfbecause I like owning assault rifles
20:11.54Shadowwireyeah, so did Mit.
20:11.55Jayce^oh yeah... AWB did a *whole* lot
20:11.56sjansenDemocrats are not raving lunatics. They are not defeatnics. They're not out to establish a new world order.
20:12.15Jayce^it was a joke, trying to go after the second.. it was a first step
20:12.16dataw0lfJayce^: right, but that wasn't a huge attack on your 2nd amendment rights
20:12.22ShadowwireActualy Bill was all for the New World Order.
20:12.26Jayce^it was an attack, and it wasnt' the only thing
20:12.29dataw0lfJayce^: oh c'mon.
20:12.35dataw0lfI think guns do need to be regulated
20:12.40sjansenThey might interpret certain parts of the constitution differently. They might have a different opinion of govts role in society. But that doesn't make them evil.
20:12.43dataw0lfAnd you probably should wait 2 weeks before actually receiving a piece.
20:12.58ShadowwireI disagree.
20:13.01RyanEsjansen: yeah, I think we got it by now.  They're not evil.
20:13.04sjansenBlack and white. Good and evil. Terrorist and human being. Life isn't that simple.
20:13.13Jayce^I feel we should have as much regulation on our second ammendment, as our first
20:13.19elgexcept that we know emcnabb is a terrorist
20:13.23elg~lart emcnabb
20:13.23ibotputs on some milking gloves. "All right, now, emcnabb, this won't hurt a bit...."
20:13.29Weggnothing. . . in government should be judged by the evil/good scale.  Thats how Bush thinks.  And thats why we are in Iraq and in a financial mess.
20:13.36ShadowwireIf someone threatens my life, I want to be able to protect myself now, not in two weeks.
20:13.37sjansenEveryone whines about how divise politics has gotten. Well, I've got news for you, calling people evil isn't makig things any better.
20:13.49dataw0lfShadowwire: well then you should already own a weapon
20:13.58Jayce^Wegg, no, it has nothing to do with the economy
20:14.07ShadowwireOh, I own about 30
20:14.14Jayce^Wegg, that goes so much farther than him...
20:14.16dataw0lfthen what are you complaining about?
20:14.22sjansenShadowwire: So you're going to ask the mugger to just hang on a moment while you run down the gun shop? Stupid.
20:14.34WeggRagheads = evil, send in the army, quitting is "evil", rack up the debt.
20:14.37ShadowwireThank you for calling me stupid.
20:14.41unumI think you should need to take a training class to own a gun
20:14.45dataw0lfyea, I don't think you're going to have any time to run to the gun store if you're in actual danger
20:14.49dataw0lfunum: I do too.
20:15.01unumespecially for a concealed weapons permit
20:15.05ShadowwireDo you own a weapon?
20:15.07sjansenI called the argument stupid. But if all you opinions are based on such thinking, you are stupid.
20:15.11unumif you can't aim it there's no point carrying it
20:15.11dataw0lfShadowwire: Me?
20:15.16unumI do not
20:15.17WeggI like that plan unm
20:15.18rsimpkinsunum: I believe Utah requires that.
20:15.20dataw0lfI own about 8, and I received training when I was in the military.
20:15.24RyanEShadowwire: he wasn't calling you stupid, just the idea that a 2-week waiting period will make you unsafe.  If you're prepared, you're prepared.
20:15.24unumrsimpkins: no they don't
20:15.32Jayce^Wegg, as if.. how about one of the many wars clinton had (illegal, but we gloss over that)..  and that is such a small part of the debt compared to all the other crap we've been doing since the 20's/30's
20:15.34rsimpkinsunum: Oh, well, don't several states require it?
20:15.45ShadowwireIf someone threatens your life, do you want to have something under your pillow in case?
20:15.46unumrsimpkins: that could be why everyone gets their permits from utah
20:16.06WeggOk then your allowed to own a gun datawolf.  But I should not be able too because my only experience holding a weapon that can mow down crowds of people just by squeezing a trigger is my bloody playstation!
20:16.09dataw0lfwell Utah's conceal & carry transfers well to other states
20:16.12Jayce^Wegg, nothing to do with the good/evil aspect, those screwups are largely from collectivism and entitlement creeping in for years
20:16.17Jayce^dataw0lf, one of the best
20:16.23dataw0lfJayce^: true dat!
20:16.24ShadowwireI have a concealed licence as well as most of my family and friends.
20:16.27sjansenNow don't get me wrong. I'm all in favor of people owning guns. So long as they handle them responsibly. Many people I respect are gun nuts.
20:16.35unumShadowwire: did you have to take a class
20:16.39ShadowwireYes
20:16.42unumor you just have a background check
20:16.45RyanEsjansen: is that why you respect them?  :)
20:16.47Jayce^unum, minimum 4 hour required
20:16.50unumrsimpkins: I stand corrected
20:16.51dataw0lfunum: it's required
20:17.05sjansenRyanE: heh
20:17.06unumthat's good to know
20:17.25unumI would support a law that required training before purchasing a gun
20:17.27Jayce^Wegg, nah, he's not the first by far... it's just played up much more in the modern environment
20:17.46ShadowwireI would support training.
20:17.49sjansenMy boss is a gun nut. I respect him because he's smart. He thinks carefully about his opinions and listens to the opinions of others, even people he doesn't agree with.
20:17.55Shadowwirebut not banning.
20:18.21dataw0lfautomatic fire is for idiots anyway
20:18.25Jayce^I agree that certain checks should happen, and certain screw-ups remove certain rights...  but I also don't want to be required to have special papers on file because I want security
20:18.28WeggHis "Axis of evil" speech had me screaming at the TV.  
20:18.32Jayce^dataw0lf, except in paintball :)
20:18.37sjansenJayce^ is a gun nut. I respect his dedication to the community, his perl-fu and knowledge of finance.
20:18.38dataw0lfJayce^: well.. yea ;-)
20:18.39rsimpkinsunum: I would like that to extend to advanced training for owning more powerful weapons as well.
20:18.44WeggAnd. . . the results are exactly what I was expecting to have happen at the time.
20:18.47emcnabbelg, you're more larthappy than sjansen
20:18.54elg~lart sjansen
20:18.54ibotwhips out a hot clue gun and makes sure that sjansen is stuck to the floor
20:19.00rsimpkinsunum: For example, if I go through a series of training classes - any reason I can't own an assult weapon?
20:19.21dataw0lfbecause they're ridiculous in almost any sort of defense situation?
20:19.37RyanEheh.  Good answer.
20:19.38sjansendataw0lf seems to be a gun nut. I respect his willingness to server when many of us are to chicken or lazy. (BTW, his Democratic leaning prove you can be a Democrat and support the 2nd amendment.)
20:19.45Jayce^and I do respect the rights of the states to choose their own restrictions...   but I also don't want the feds requiring me to keep CA's stupid gun laws..
20:20.04sjansenSo there we go, 3 off the top of my head. Very different people. None of them evil.
20:20.10dataw0lfJayce^: I can definitely agree with you there.
20:20.34RyanEFor example, if I go through a series of training classes -- any reason I can't own an atomic weapon?  They're great in a defensive situation.  Strap one to my forehead, and Bam!  Problem Solved!
20:20.50RyanEone head-butt, and it's over, dude.
20:21.04WeggRyanE: LOL
20:21.07dataw0lfI mean, I don't really believe the ban on assault rifles is all that bad.  Nor is all that great.  Criminals will get automatic weapons if they want them.
20:21.08WeggI need food.
20:21.10Jayce^dataw0lf, friend of a friend got everything seized in CA, because his classic WWII .50 had a chain load..  and that allows more than 10 rounds :)
20:22.02Sargunnick125_, you there?
20:22.02dataw0lfJayce^: I drove to Sacramento the other day and totally blanked and brough my 10mm handgun .... WHOOPS!
20:22.07dataw0lfbrought*
20:22.08Jayce^dataw0lf, no kidding, but also the stupidity on what *is* an assault weapon..   a pistol grip..  or a barrel shroud... minimal stuff
20:22.13Jayce^dataw0lf, d'oh..  
20:22.23dataw0lfJayce^: Yea, I agree.  It's restrictive in some pretty stupid ways.
20:22.31Jayce^yeah, I loved picking up my XD, and it had the "prohibited in CA"...   heck, that was a requirement :)
20:22.38dataw0lfI think gun control could be instituted better.
20:22.51dataw0lfbut I think NO gun control is just as ridiculous.
20:23.14dataw0lfI think when buying a handgun or an automatic weapon, detailed background check, some classes.
20:23.34WeggI think its kind of sad how obsessed people are over guns.  :-(  I'd love for the "cool" factor of guns to go away.
20:23.35Jayce^I think we should definately test any GC law by switching any reference to weapon with speech|book|etc just to see how shocked people get :)
20:23.39sjansenGeez, we make people prove they know how to use a car safely don't we?
20:23.45Jayce^:)
20:23.49Wegg:-)
20:24.19Weggthats a real good point sjansen
20:24.29rsimpkinsJayce^: Hey, I just got my conceled book permit!
20:24.33Weggwe make them have insurance too.
20:24.39Weggthere shuld be Gun Owner insurance.
20:25.14RyanEThe other day, I was driving to Sacramento, and I totally forgot that I had a copy of 'Enders Game' in the car.
20:25.16WeggIf you accidentally shoot someone. . . the insurance company helps the person shot out and ups your rates.
20:25.34goozbachlol @ RyanE
20:25.44whiteleyooo   gun talk.  what have I missed...
20:25.59sjansenUh, no. If you shoot someone you go to prison and the insurance company helps the person.
20:26.18sjansenAssume it was not self defense.
20:26.28Jayce^hey whiteley, join in :)
20:26.37RyanEyeah, that'd be a bargain.  "How much would it cost my rates to wound sjansen?"
20:26.42Jayce^Wegg, sure there is, they just sue the gun makers :)
20:26.43Weggthat too sjansen
20:26.45rsimpkinsJayce^: What i'd really like is the ability to legally fire incendiary and tracer ammo, or public access to military reservations to do so.
20:26.52RyanE"something in a nice flesh wound above the knee"
20:26.54rsimpkinsWhy can't the military do 'tourist' type stuff?
20:27.02Jayce^rsimpkins, you can do some tracer :)
20:27.02sjansenIf a child uses your improperly stored gun to shoot someone, you go to prison _and_ your trigger finger gets chopped off.
20:27.10rsimpkinsLike - I pay the national guard $50 and they take me out for some target practice? :)
20:27.12Wegg"this gun was not safe. . . I'll need $1,000,000 please"
20:27.32Jayce^but yeah, access to the military bases for training/usage..   oh wait, that get's close to militias, which is bad now :-p
20:27.41whiteleyesr is a good egg: http://www.catb.org/~esr/guns/
20:27.45rsimpkinsJayce^: I think it would be fun.
20:27.51WeggRon Paul wants to bring back Militias.
20:28.08WeggYou guys can all go shoot things and protect the State of Utah from. . . Idaho.
20:28.14sjansenesr is a wacko ego maniac that happens to like guns
20:28.14Jayce^Wegg, technically we should still have them, the governer of each state has the right..
20:28.16rsimpkinsJayce^: The SWAT team did it in southern utah - so I know of at least one case where that occured.
20:28.36Jayce^rsimpkins, they get special privs :)
20:29.01Jayce^Wegg, that's what the national guard was, until they were federalized in WWII
20:29.19Jayce^and like any federal program, it didn't go away :)
20:30.09Jayce^but some of the principles remain, such as when people freaked out when bush didn't send the guard immediately after katrina..  well actually he was required to wait for the state to do certain things first..
20:30.23rsimpkinsJayce^: Ever watched that show where the ex navy seal sniper goes out and shows off some of the latest weapons.
20:30.27rsimpkinsJayce^: Great show.
20:30.28Jayce^and our wonderful congress now says we should get rid of those last vestiges of state control :)
20:30.35Jayce^rsimpkins, yeah

20:49.03sjansenYou could check the status of the much abandoned Ruby port.
20:49.06RyanEsjansen: when you went to Brazil, what did you see?
20:49.16RyanEand what do you wish you'd seen, but didn't?
20:49.20sjansenRyanE: Trees.
20:49.23RyanEheh
20:49.31sjansenTrees, and people and rain.
20:49.36sjansenOh, and buses. Lots of buses.
20:49.37Jayce^RyanE, I wish I'd seen a Mt. Dew...
20:49.55sjansenRyanE: I assume you're asking because you're thinking about going back.
20:49.56RyanEJayce^: have you been back recently?
20:50.04Jayce^sjansen, is cardinal abandoned? tewk used to be working on it

20:50.28RyanEI only know I want to see friends, and see Foz do Iguassu
20:50.41sjansenI didn't "see" much. Mostly I visited members and explored the better parts outside my areas.
20:50.44Jayce^Like I tell my wife, most of the areas I was in, I couldn't go back, and really couldn't bring my family..
20:50.50Jayce^plus, not a lot to see in BH
20:51.13sjansenCampo do Jordao
20:51.15RyanEI'd like to see some more of the country than the south.

20:51.41Jayce^or Diamantinha
20:52.48Jayce^browsing in Google Earth I found out there is a Hard Rock cafe in BH now...
20:53.12sjansenIt's a _big_ country. But you can sometimes get specials on cheaps flights bouncing around various tourist points. In fact, buying a series is often cheaper than buying individual direct.
20:54.10sjansenI suppose you could be boring an visit Rio.
20:54.36RyanEI don't want to do *all* the touristy things...
20:54.43Jayce^gotta visit at least one praia

20:55.14Jayce^I lost my best one years back

21:22.47herlolevi: I have meals every week at fancy restaurants on the road if I want
21:23.09herlohehe, yeah, had mexican last night, mild case of heartburn, but it was worth it...
21:23.22leviherlo: Last night was *not* mild.
21:23.59herlolevi: take some pills and quit whining ")
21:24.35leviI don't usually get heartburn, and I wasn't planning on staying overnight, so I didn't have any pills.
21:25.20sjansen*sigh* Deep and mysterious are the ways of kerberos. Some days it works. Some days it doesn't. Kerberos be praised.
