Nice news, llearch! :P
Wasn't me. Sorry to disappoint....

I blame Darkmoon, myself.
But then, so does everyone. Failing him, I'd be pointing my finger accusingly at RJ.

As much as I like messing with news, it wasn't me. Though the style sounds like me... I think I've been set up! D:
Who will solve the news mystery now? Do we have a detective among us?
Definitely wasn't me. I was trying to figure out how the hell Gabi got power, actually. ;)
Me? Heh. I'm flattered, but I'm not into hacking. That can get you fame, hate and fear, but not true respect. I'd much rather have the latter.
... I told you she was here....
For a broad enough definition of 'here', yes, I was.

I'd much rather have the fame, hate and fear. I have the hate in massive abundance, no fame yet, and a fair amount of fear. I'm doing okay so far, but I'd like to trade in some of this hate for fame.

Quote from: The News TickerI stole all your candy! What're you gonna do about it?!
OK. This is getting strange. To the News hacker, might I suggest ``Did I not instruct that news box 5 was to be left empty?''
Edit: You know, I did notice that llearch never actually denied doing it...

QuoteI'm watching you, superluser. Don't think I'm not.

Well, Clue isn't important, either. Fun, though.
(Once llearch put up there that he wasn't doing it, it became pretty obvious who it was. That and I totally missed when he said ``...
I told you she was here....'' I figured he meant Damaris, since she hadn't been mentioned.)
Ah, well. I do hope that I've caused some mental anguish by making you imagine Patrick McGoohan naked. I'd add ``It's a Man's Life Taking Your Clothes off in Public,'' but that might be over the top.
As the saying goes, "I'm not alone in this mess"
I did some, but not all, of the "hacking" - but, as Azlan suggests, 'twas all in fun...
QuoteVi be om ursäkt för felen inne om nyheter. Den här ansvarig har blitt plundra.

What exactly does this mean? Isn't there a rule on this type of thing... good fun or not, rules are rules.
Well, it's not in the forum. Technically it's a little above the forum.
Personally, I'm waiting for the llamas. ;)
Feel free, Tiger (if you actually meant me... but without quotes saying otherwise, I'll just assume you meant my post just above yours - and why are the disclaimers often longer than the actual message, anyway?) :P
And Azlan... a quick and random Google search for "nyheter" points to Swedish. :erk
Lemme see if I can puzzle this one out with the help of the Phoenix Oracle Internet.
Vi - we
be om ursäkt - apologize
för - for/to/of/by/[some more]
felen - mistake/fault
inne - in/inside
om - of/about/by/round/about/again/...
nyheter - news
Den - he/she/it/the
här - here/host/army
ansvarig - responsible/answerable/liable
har - have
blitt - [not directly in an online dictionary, so it may be a conjugated verb. I guess it's the equivalent of "been"]
plundra - rob/loot/plunder
So in the end, I guess it's just the Swedish version of the English News: "We apologize for the fault in the news. Those responsible have been sacked."
And tsk tsk tsk. Silly Azlan! Rules are just for the non-Admins! :rolleyes
It sounds very babelfishy, what with the wrong word usage on the end that doesn't go with the intended meaning of "sacked".
That's called laziness. Not to imply that I did it, of course. :B
Why is the news hacker targeting me? And why did the forum not let me post the word "sacked" until I tricked it with the Edit feature?
You couldn't post "Sacked"? What did it tell you?
Quote from: Alan Garou on January 24, 2007, 09:39:16 PMWhy is the news hacker targeting me?
You were talking about me. And that's a no no. I guess. Er.
As to why s/he is targeting me, well, I'll just leave that to your imagination. It won't be as interesting as the truth, though.
(P.S. I don't know why everyone's so up in arms about my use of the term `hacker.' I certainly didn't mean to imply that there was a |33+ HAXX0R, just that someone was hacking (http://hacks.mit.edu/) the news, in the same sense that putting a car on top of the MIT dome is hacking the MIT dome.)
A real hacker here, really now. This is not high profile enough. There's no status or bragging rights for breaking in here and messing with the news.
besides, it's not hacking if you already have permissions... but it is damn annoying.

I hope that's not true. I hate double standards. If the rules are not for everyone, then there can hardly be a good reason for them to be rules.
[Edit: "Those who were supposed to sack those who needed to be sacked have also been sacked"?... Oookay...]
As I see it, the only exceptions admins have are those required to actually do the job.
eg, spamming or double posting in the course of duties, etc.
And, also as I see it, one can bend rules if one is amusing. This particular case, the translation was also posted, so it's kinda borderline. And it's funny, which gives it a little slack.
... I'll admit that I may have a strange sense of humour. :-)
There was a translation posted. Case closed.

I wasn't talking about this particular case... nor this particular forum, for that matter.

If the Mods have so much free time on their hands, they should just spend that time to comment on some art in the Tower or something. I think it'd be more appreciated than coming up with new, "clever" ways of keeping the mortals "entertained".

Well, the language and translation for the first one should have been obvious. I'm willing to travel to give people a personal screening of this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkf2U9VlrkI) --so long as I don't wind up sitting next to a party from Rhyl who keep singing ``Torremolinos, torremolinos'' and complaining about the food...
The backwards stuff is a little over the top, though. Can Caesar ciphers be far off?
Yes.
Backwards text, I can read without sitting down to think it over.
Ciphers require (not necessarily for me, but for some, at least) a little more effort.
But your point is noted, and I, at least, will stop here. Although I had stopped, after the backwards text, anyway.
The idea is just to ignore it... but then that defeats the purpose of something called news.
Please, hardly anyone reads it anyway, much like people don't read signs in stores, whether they're important or not. Why do you think we had three sticky threads reiterating what was in the news anyway?
And be honest, do you really want Darkmoon posting in the art threads? This is probably a much better outlet.
Now, back on topic, please. Otherwise, this thread will no longer be necessary, and you'll be stuck with the glitches that haven't been found yet.
So I noticed there's a lot of conversation going on about the various News thingies. I also noticed that it's off-topic conversation that has been officially frowned upon :< by an admin or two. So here's a solution: a topic dedicated to idle chit-chat and/or complaints about the fun News headings. I'll start things off.

I've been reading quite a bit of News chatter in this thread. As Damaris said, while it's interesting chatter it really is off-topic and disruptive to the purpose of this particular thread.

Converting it to energy is not destroying it. It's just putting it in a different form - albeit one that isn't immediately useful. Unless you like your toast well done.

Actually not. The measure of the total amount of matter contained within an object (http://chandra.harvard.edu/resources/glossaryM.html) is mass, and what comes out of a nuclear blast has less mass than what goes in.
Since it's being converted into photons, it's no longer matter. Only fermions and a few bosons have mass. I could get into the proof that photons don't have mass, but it's rather boring.

... which is utterly irrelevant, since I didn't claim that the mass remained constant.
I claimed that the sum of the system (when accounting for energy = mass * c^2) was constant. Some of the m is turned into e, in various forms, but the sum total is constant.
And yes, much of that is photons, which have negligible mass, at best (it's still a bit uncertain, last I checked - theory states no mass, but that's still unconfirmed, when you get into extremely high energy states, etc)
In fact, stating that "the mass goes down" is pretty much exactly what I said.
Now, according to the theories, it's possible to take energy and turn it back into mass, somehow, but we haven't figured out how, yet. If we could, you could, theoretically, take a nuclear explosion and turn it into a, erm, unspecified mass of gold.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for such technology, though. :-)

You're winding me up on purpose, aren't you?
The matter is gone. It's been converted into energy. You can convert it back to matter again, but it's not matter just then. And we do know how to do that. For example, an electron can interact with a muon neutrino to form a muon and an electron neutrino. There is more mass, and therefore more matter.
It's just that we don't know of any efficient way to do this synthetically.

Photons do not have mass. We can prove this by looking at the equations for a photon's momentum.
p=h/λ (1)
p=γmv (2)
p=mv (3)
That second one should be a giveaway, since gamma is infinite at v=c. But let's look at the non-relativistic version (3). An observer moving away from the source of the photon sees a red shift, which changes the wavelength. If the wavelength changes, then so does the momentum (1). And since the momentum changes, but the velocity stays the same, the only thing left to change is the mass. And mass cannot change like that. There is such a concept as relativistic mass, but that is simply its invariant mass multiplied by the Lorentz factor (γ).
See also this article (http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/ParticleAndNuclear/photon_mass.html).
IT DOESN'T MATTER. STOP WASTING ENERGY OR I'LL KICK YOUR MASS.

...In other news, that "News" message is misspelled. Can see now why it got taken off.
The proper way to say it is: "Vi ber om ursäkt för felen med nyheterna. De ansvariga har blivit sparkade."
Which directly translates very well and clearly to: "We ask about apologization for faults (pluralis definite form) with news (again, pluralis definite. Swedish doesn't have a "the", you see). Those responsible (pluralis, becomes definite in junction with "de") have been kicked (which suggests the ass, and means "sacked" in Swedish).
Thank you for letting me be of service.

Well, since half the people didn't read the news when it actually only WAS news, and since we always made sure to make actual topics on important issues, it doesn't really matter if the news is news or not.

You have too much time on your hands, RJ. -Way- too much.
It was either making avatars or spending hours writing a review for the latest Naruto chapter, which was impossible when I have a headache. :<
You should use a simple php script and have the avatars rotate.
Did I just spot a Kung Fu Hustle quote, by any chance?

Yeah, and I have dial-up too... thanks goodness you didn't see the other avatar page. (http://www.furry.org.au/randomjoy/songset.htm)

We can set you up a sig folder on ICVD if you'd like. PHP works fine there. ;)

That'd be awesome if it's okay :3 Though I have about 800 avatars I've created in my folder... it'll be hard to pick out which ones to use >_>
Why not use all of them? :grin
That's like 25+ mb of avatars.
Oh, it can't be that much. After all, all the avatar's I've seen are only 100x100 pixels, which is probably 20Kb at most.
(20(800))/1024 = 3/4Mb
Quote from: HaZ×MaT on February 25, 2007, 08:03:03 PM
(20(800))/1024 = 3/4Mb
...either I can't operate my calculator anymore (at 2am, this is quite possible), or you are mistaken...
(20*800)/1024 = 16000/1024 = 15.6 MB
And if we take RJ's current avatar (29kb) as a guideline, we end up at 22.6MB
And although I don't think that 20 MB or so will kill Darkmoon's server, it may be a good idea to limit the selection a bit :animesweat
Whoops, forgot a zero. :confused Still, 20-30Kb for a 100x100 image is pretty big. On another forum I go to, the max file size for a sig (550x120 pixels) is 50Kb.
QuoteSize: 25.4 MB (26,683,876 bytes)
Quite a few would be more around the 30kb area.
Meh, most of them are bases anyway, and some are most pretty than funny.
*shrug* slightly more intelligent would be use the current hosting to provide the images, and use the php on Darkmoon's server to select a random one on the fly.
heck, -I- could do that with my server. It might take a little setting up, but it could be done... and I'm only on the end of a DSL...
How do you prolongue a K?

You could do that if you prefer, but it doesn't bother me either which way. My server is not going to die from 25 MB of pictures. I barely touch the 250GB of band I get every month, and my site is super-popular.
I wasn't offering, I was merely suggesting, since I already have the setup for it, I could set it up with little effort.
Of course, my version is in perl in cgi, rather than in php, but the basic concept is pretty stable....
Either or.
The other thing to consider is that, by having a smaller number of rotating avatars, people can associate them with you, as opposed to never seeing your posts with the same avatar twice.
It's all part of brand identity.

Though I can't pick the latest bunch of quotes. Though they sound a lot like something Jack Sparrow would say.
Pirates of Pinzance (sp?), I believe.
Ah, Penzance. It's Light Opera - Gilbert and Sullivan.
Interestingly, Penzance (a small town out on the west coast of the lower tip of the UK) was chosen because it was a haven of respectability and common sense - apparently at the time the opera was written, it had recently come up in a survey as the most law-abiding place in the UK, or something of that sort. Which makes the idea of a bunch of pirates there even more laughable... :-)
"It was so good I almost wet my pants!"
"Er, she said it was better than Pirates of Penzance."
QuoteNews: If your birthday is in March, your stone is the Aquamarine, and your flower is the Daffodil!
So my mom's flower is the Daffodil? (my mom's birthday is march 5th).
(fangirl squees) PIRATES OF PENZANCE!!!!!
(singing) Oh, it is, it is, a GLORIOUS thing, to be a Pirate King!
GOD, that play was awesome! Except the version I saw was different from the classic version... I saw it at the Goodspeed (with Andrew Varela as the Pirate King).
It rocked nonetheless.
It is HURRAH for the pirate king, HURRAH for the PIRATE KING.
This brings back memories. Of the "I was just in that last year" variety. In the pirate chorus. Fun.
I remember watching the play on tv last year. The Pirate King was Jack Sparrow.
Eh?
Man, Darkmoon would totally get me to watch it if Johnny Depp was in it.
Although... I'll really watch anything with him in it, so that's not saying much.
The actor wasn't Johnny Depp, but the Pirate King character was Jack Sparrow. I think it was some gimmick, but the guy was really, really good at it.
Eh, just sounds odd...

I think that's the standard IP address assigned by WiFi networks. 192.168/16 is one of three address spaces allocated for private networks. You aren't supposed to be able to access them by those IP addresses from outside the subnet.
Me, I prefer 10/8.

I guess I will have to wait for July 22nd to approximately celebrate Pi. :3
We had a little pi-day celebration in precalculus today. We answered questions about pi for a prize slinky, and had an art contest to see who could draw the best representation of pi. The winner, of course, received some pie. :3
so wouldn't it be best on March 14, 2015, at 9:26?
no, because that's 2.01503140926.

You relying on an automatic spellchecker? Who would have thought so?
Well, I don't have the book handy, and it wasn't me what put that particular entry up, so... Complaining about the spelling is all well and good, but if you don't provide the corrected spelling, what are we to do?
Mock you. That's what we're to do.

I notice that there are a lot of words that Firefox spellcheck doesn't have.
In addition, my spelling is somewhere between American and British (I spell math, flavor, estrogen, but travelled, dialogue, grey), which means that Firefox says that I've spelt a lot of words wrong.
I seem to have found an en-gb dictionary, so that might change.
(Edit: they have! Yay!)
"In all cases where American and British spellings of words disagree, Australian spellings shall be used as a tiebreaker."

Danke, but Gabi mentioned it elsewhere, so I updated it for you. All better now? :-)
It looks good to me. :)
My spelling is also a mix between British and American English, but that's because my native language is Argentinean Spanish.
"The Mellotron is irrelevant - either that or we're just irreverent..."
Do you have any idea how much those things cost? :erk
Apparently, "The Mellotron is irrelevant" is a response that Robert Fripp gave a fan who was asking if King Crimson would ever bring back the Mellotron. Talk about fan-friendly.

My guess would have been Tony Banks who had a similar attitude, but yeah - I figured it was something along those lines.
For those who don't know what we're talking about, it's a sort of sound sampler made with 1962 technology. Probably the most famous use is the flutes on 'Strawberry Fields Forever' by the Beatles, but the strings turn up all over the place. They were originally recorded in 1952 in Harry Chamberlin's bedroom.
http://www.rlmusic.co.uk/mellotron/products.html
It's just occurred to me that I could actually afford one of those now >:3
Also worth noting is Robert Fripp's habit of running away(!?) when asked for an autograph.
Is there a phobia for fear of boxes?
Well there's Asymmetriphobia- Fear of asymmetrical things.
Which would suggest there's a fear of symmetrical things somewhere as well...
I get those two things mixed up all the time :<
Symmetrophobia- Fear of symmetry.
Better.
QuoteLlearchophobia- Fear of incompetence.
Now what was THAT for?
I didn't put that one there... I like to stick to real sources :P
Ah. Like this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphobia)?

Well, obviously Bill was watching the race today. I'm such a bad Indianapolis resident. I forgot it was even running.
Great race, incidentally, despite a three-hour rain delay.
Were there crashes? That's my favorite part.
Marco Andretti flipped on the last green flag lap, and his head almost fell off. :<
He was ok tho. :)

I'm all about celebrating June 7th, 11th, 20th, and 22nd :eager
Are you serious?! They brought back the ONLY KIND OF COKE I LIKE! That had BETTER be freakin' true, man! :mowhappy :boogie :boogie :boogie :)
Whoa, I just saw that news thing too. Are they serious, is Vanilla Coke REALLY back???
Apparently, it's being distributed this month. A friend in Kentucky says it's back in his local stores.
Booyah :kirby :boogie :eager
Vanilla Coke has always existed in Australia. It never left. Because we know of its awesome and we horde it like the evil Australians we are.
Mine. And you can't have any!
But we CAN have some, that's the whole point. They brought it back. You're weird :erk
You're only just discovering this, Netrogo?
Oh, yes. I forget. You're new. You'll learn... ;-]
Atleast I learned that you were weird right outta the box :giggle
I'm never out of the box. What are you talking about? ;-]
I'm pretty sure we always had Vanilla Coke around here.
Of course, the best is Coke with Vanilla extract. 70 proof FTW!

For some bizarre reason unknown to me, I can't taste the difference.
I wish they'd bring back that blue Pepsi. That was awesome.
I don't have either and I don't need them. :P
Ugh, Pepsi Blue was nasty, tasted like mouth wash. I've always wanted to try Pepsi clear, though. I know it would taste the exact same, but I would still like to try it.
We found two bliss-filled cases of Vanilla Coke today. They are now ours... :mwaha
Hey here's a newsflash for all you coke and pepsi fiends: DR. PEPPER RULES YOUR WORLD!
YEEEEEAAAAHHHH >:O
Trudat.
I also wanted to say that, despite my preference, my friends did manage to snag some Vanilla Coke for tonight's D&D game at the behest of knowledge that I gained from reading this thread. Scary, scary.

On the topic of pop, did you guys know that American Coke, or at least the stuff that I had in San Fransisco some months ago, tastes way different from Canadian stuff? It's way sweeter.

Sugar-based soft drinks in the US are different from those anywhere else in the world. Because they're not based on sugar. We subsidize corn and put protective tariffs on sugar imports, which makes high-fructose corn syrup more economical to use than real sugar.
So in most of the world, soft drinks are made with sugar, but in the US, they're made with corn syrup.

ahh, that actually explains the weird difference in taste Kellz and I noticed in coke while in America. Now that I know, I have the strange urge to go and wash out my mouth... XD
This is why there's a faux-black-market in Mexican Coke in the US.
I'm guessing it was Bill who put the entire set of lyrics for "Supper's Ready" in the news? >:3
And Baba O'Riley.
I highly approve of Barenaked Ladies. ^^ One Week's on my top ten list of songs, ever.
And it was in the Digimon movie.
Digimon may have jumped the shark in a flaming ball of suckness after the first two seasons, but at least the soundtrack was always good.
I kinda preferred "She's On Time" myself...
Ohhhh, so THOSE are the lyrics for One Week... And here I thought he was saying nonsense words :3
It looks so weird when you see it spelled out. It's also hard to read when it scrolls so slowly (too slow for the beat). But I suppose it would like like a blur if it went at the beat.
Song lyrics FTW.
Turn that shit down! Why the hell is the news ticker spouting out retarded Furgie lyrics?!
At least change the News header to something more appropriate.
Fergie is a talented artist, and I don't appreciate you speaking about her in that manner.
She is god awful. The black eyed peas could kick her ass out and be perfectly fine. I weep whenever a song is ruined by her annoying voice; they give her shit lyrics, too.
It's a lot like No Doubt turning into Gwen Stefani, turning into "Gwen Stefani and a black chick singing some horrible 'rasta' solo in every song."
Why do you have to add fail to the equation?

Okay, who's responsible for the 'My Humps' lyrics in the news? And let me guess, they saw Blades of Glory the other day too, right?
Jimmy: So, Coach, I was thinking about the music for our routine.
Coach: Oh, really?
Chazz: We're gonna dance to one song, and one song only: "Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I'm a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps."
Jimmy: [disgusted] I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means.
Chazz: No one knows what it means-- it's provocative...
The Iron Lotus scared me. :<
Oh no.
Oh, no, no, no.

Why must my eyes be insulted by Barbie Girl lyrics? Why, God, why?
It could be worse
yeah someone could have been singing the song forcing you to listen.
This is true.
But "Barbie Girl" is up there with "I Love You" from Barney. It's a simple disgrace. It makes me physically ill.
Or rather, sometimes I wish it made me physically ill.
I agree those songs are a disgrace. I wonder why someone would make a song about a doll. It seems wierd to me.
Could been "Cartoon Heros" Or "Witch Doctor" >:]
Witch Doctor would have been better.
Amy chance of getting some Tom Lehrer up there?
I like Cartoon Heroes. I like doing the speedy-mix on DDR - mostly because it's not Aqua singing it.
And Witch Doctor isn't so bad either. At least once you watch Akamaru do it. (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36529964/)
And I like Toy Box too: "He's my best friend, best of all best friends, do you have a best friend too?"

Someone has been at the Rolf Harris though... that negates it. AFAIK there is only one situation where Rolf Harris songs do not constitute a crime against humanity, and that is when you bleep out some of the words to make them sound suggestive as was done on "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again".
Rolf Harris?
Can we do one thats not song lyrics? Maybe some...Really nifty stuff I seen on J-List?

I guess that either means it wasn't you wot dun it, or or the song in question is a cover.
Which might go either way, depending on how old the song actually is.
I went and looked. It's possible you're thinking of a cover, though, by Rolf. If you're thinking of the boomerang song, then yes, it -was- me wot done it, but it's listed as Charlie Drake, not Rolf Harris.
I -could- do a bunch of Rolf songs, though. ;-]

What, "Two Little Boys"? Checking the release date it's actually from 1912 but the popular version was done by Rolf Harris in 1969.
In 1970, when the BBC flatly refused to do anything vulgar, a certain radio series hit upon the brilliant idea of taking annoying songs and strategically bleeping out various words to change the meaning of the song into something that they shouldn't have got away with. Llearch either has a copy of that episode or he's come to the same conclusion as Bill Oddie and John Cleese.
They also did the "Julie Andrews Dirty Songbook" which began with the line "All I want is a **** somewhere..."

I was referring to "She's On Time". That guy's life would be so much easier if they used protection!
