03:00:30Fordcarshey
03:00:33raptorih
03:00:46FordcarsI was trying to speak spanish lol
03:01:00raptorhola, como estas
03:01:03Fordcarsthere was a dude playing from uruguay
03:01:11raptorthere's an accent in there somewhere...
03:01:20Fordcarscomo I think
03:01:29raptorand on the last 'a' in estas
03:01:43Fordcarsi have bean learning spanish for only a month at school
03:01:48raptorgreat!
03:01:59FordcarsI'm quite bad :)
03:02:34Fordcarsbut I managed to talk to him, ask him where he was from and tried to explain how to change weapons and modules
03:02:49raptorif you really want to learn, this is the best book i've found: http://www.amazon.com/Spanish-Verbs-Easy-Learn-Alphabetically/dp/0812092821
03:02:56raptorspanish is all about the verbs
03:03:01Fordcarsby taking french words and adding os, es, as and stuff
03:03:06raptorheh
03:03:21Fordcarsdo you know spanish?
03:03:26raptoryes
03:03:30Fordcarsreally?
03:03:33raptoryes
03:03:37raptorbut i'm out of practice
03:03:45Fordcarsare you bilingual
03:03:49raptori was, yes
03:04:15Fordcarswow how come? was it at school or just for fun or do you have some spanish roots
03:04:25raptorno spanish roots
03:04:32Fordcarssounth america
03:04:39raptoror latin
03:04:47raptori learned several years in high school
03:04:54Fordcarsah
03:05:12raptori also spoke it frequently with people for a couple years when i lived in southern california
03:05:13FordcarsI will learn it for 4 years I think
03:05:20Fordcarsah
03:05:23raptorare you good at math?
03:05:28Fordcarswhy
03:05:30Fordcarsyes
03:05:38raptorbecause to me, spanish was a giant math equation
03:05:42Fordcars1+1=2
03:05:46raptorexactly
03:05:49Fordcarsah
03:05:56Fordcarseuh
03:06:23raptorthe grammar rules in spanish are like that - very set rules. once you learn them, it's easy to be able to spell any word you hear
03:06:33Fordcarsreally
03:06:35raptoryep
03:06:53raptorthe hard part for me was actually speaking and hearing from people
03:07:01Fordcarsthere are 2 to be verbs right?
03:07:05raptori was excellent at reading and writing
03:07:12raptoryes, ser and estar
03:07:33raptorbut speaking and hearing was a little more difficult - so many different variations of native speakers
03:08:04raptorthe clearest speakers, i thought, came from bolivia, peru, and sometimes ecuador
03:08:05Fordcarshmmmm,,,, rolling Rs, the famous V, the Z , the Cs
03:08:09raptoryep
03:08:17Fordcarswow you travel?
03:08:19raptortongue twisters
03:08:31raptorno, but i met people from almost every nation in souther cali
03:08:39Fordcarsah
03:08:57raptorthe chileans speak 1.5 -2 times faster than anyone...
03:09:08Fordcarswow
03:09:11raptorthe mexicans slur a lot of their words
03:09:38raptoroh and the fun part: some verbs that seem normal in one county can be considered vulgar in another
03:09:47Fordcarscolgate
03:10:00FordcarsIts a vulgar
03:10:05raptorha
03:10:08Fordcarsapperently
03:10:30Fordcarsso Colgate tooth paste had a rough time seeling in countries where they speak spanish
03:10:36raptorthe cubans frequently offend offend other people because the verbs they use carry different meanings in other countries
03:11:09Fordcarshaha
03:11:15raptoryeah that comes from the infinitive 'colgar'
03:11:23raptori can't remember which countries dislike that one
03:11:31Fordcarshaha
03:11:45Fordcarscolgar means....
03:11:54Fordcarsor is it to vulgar for IRC
03:12:09raptorit means 'to hang'
03:12:32Fordcarsoh that righns a bell.
03:12:42raptorlike an object that hangs
03:13:08Fordcarsan object.... oh
03:13:10raptorsome countries would say 'colgar el telefono' (hang up the phone)
03:13:27Fordcarsyes
03:14:39FordcarsHve you ever saw a restaurant called Pollo Loco
03:14:45raptorok, well, i have to go for a bit...
03:14:49Fordcars(crazy chicken)

03:58:24amginea123456hi raptor
03:58:30raptorhi
04:07:30amginea123456ofund some more stuff
04:08:11amginea123456 its possible to hack the asteroid size though if you go over 5 it becomes invisible inless its shot also its p[ossible to hack the pusher strengh
04:08:36raptorthat's ok
04:08:51raptorthose are client side
04:09:15raptorwhen doing any hack, you need to do it and see if it affects other people connected from another machine
04:09:35raptorbut you can't host
04:16:26amginea123456how do oyu rename people
04:16:35amginea123456 who are nameless
04:16:42raptoran admin can do it with the /rename command
04:16:51raptoroh, not sure - we have to fix that bug (again)
04:17:08amginea123456cause i see a namless person right now
04:17:16amginea123456 should i ban them?
04:17:39raptoryour choice
04:17:50raptorbut it doesn't do any hame
04:17:52raptor*harm
04:18:09raptorbeing nameless
04:18:11sam686use /rename "" "something" to rename a nameless person?
04:18:19raptoroh ih sam686
04:18:38sam686its a problem when someone joins with only spaces on a user name, with spaces with trimmed..
04:18:42amginea123456 you cant if you do rename then tab to cycle it doesnt work cause pressing space to go the next
04:19:08amginea123456cause rename works as /reanme name newname
04:19:30sam686I guess TAB doesn't work on "" (nameless) names to auto complete player names..
04:19:39raptorwhich is fine
04:19:47amginea123456 so how do oyu rename them then
04:20:01raptoryou wait until we fix the bug :)
04:20:06amginea123456sam i want to test somthing host a level with asteroids
04:20:34sam686fix nameless name (by auto-rename ""), then the TAB problem will be gone..
04:20:45amginea123456meet me on sam test
04:21:01sam686ok
04:25:40raptorok folks, i'm falling asleep - good night! (found a couple more bugs with editor)

14:52:39raptorgood day!
15:06:31raptornow i need to find transcripts of the debates...
15:09:13kodabbws has joined
15:12:30kodaws Quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
16:07:57watusimotodon't bother
16:08:43watusimotomy survey shows near universal agreement (amongst MA liberal types, at least) Romney = 6/10, Obama = 4/10, Moderator = 0/10
16:11:58raptorthat high for romney amongst liberal types?
16:12:09watusimotohe did reasonably well
16:12:22watusimotobut it was a terribly boring and uninformative debate all around
16:12:48watusimoto(at least these liberal types are intellectually honest ! :-)
16:13:15raptorthat why i like to read the transcripts
16:13:34watusimotoI think the transcripts will give you a very different view
16:13:55raptordon't want to be swayed by TV...
16:14:04raptorJFK wasn't elected for his ideas
16:14:25watusimotoromney made some statements that I think were simply wrong, giving obama a good opening, and he didn't take it
16:14:44raptorexactly - that's why i like the transcripts
16:14:58watusimotoand your conclusion?
16:15:01raptorwords carry more weight than 'presence', ultimately
16:15:13watusimotoyes and no
16:15:21watusimotopresence is important in a leader
16:15:27raptorhaven't read them yet
16:15:35raptorhave to wait until after my studies...
16:15:49watusimotoyou won't learn anything you didn't already know
16:16:56raptoryeah, but you can have all the presence in the world and make poor decisions which affect the longer term
16:18:44watusimotoI have no idea your political persuasion, but is there anything either could say that would change your mind?
16:19:10raptorprobably not - because i'd rather neither be there.... :)
16:19:27raptorbut i'm still willing to give them a chance
16:19:30watusimotoI think that's tru for 99% of voters
16:19:50watusimotoprobably true for me as well
16:21:43raptorthat's why i mentioned yesterday about choosing good local leaders, and maybe they'd filter up...
16:22:18watusimotomaybe, but I doubt it. doesn't mean choosing good local leaders isn't good in and of itself
16:22:37watusimotoI think the process requires too many comprimises
16:22:53raptoryes, me too
16:23:12raptorthe 2-party system is hurting us
16:23:23watusimotoyup
16:24:08raptori feeling like we're bleeding internally
16:24:24watusimotowhat do you mean?
16:25:32raptorwe have problems like any other country, but it seems like we can't really solve them and get much work down with our 2-party system...
16:25:43raptor*done
16:27:51watusimotoI agree that at the moment this is true, but it's not the 2 parties that are the problem, it is, in my opinion, the idealogues on the far right that are hindering the ability to solve the real problems.
16:29:29raptori actually think the problems have to deal with the abstraction of work
16:29:45watusimotowhat do you mean by that?
16:29:49raptorthe national level is doing too much
16:29:54watusimotoah
16:30:11raptorpeople in communities need to solve community problems
16:30:34watusimotoin some cases, yes, but things are so interconnected now that you really need national solutions to many problems
16:30:48raptorthat is true, but i doubt that for things like welfare
16:31:03raptormaybe needed a little bit for resources to be put around
16:31:18watusimotowelfare is an interesting case
16:31:41raptori don't mean 'welfare' like inthe welfare program
16:31:47watusimotoI think it serves a necessary function, to keep people from falling into abject poverty;
16:31:51raptorbut in any assistance program
16:31:53watusimotoright
16:31:55watusimotoso
16:31:56raptoryes, me too
16:32:09raptorbut i think so much is lost going up to the top then coming back down
16:32:24watusimotoif it is handled locally, that's fine if there are some standards to prevent states from cutting it too far
16:32:36raptoryes
16:33:16watusimotobecause you know that as soon as <pick your favorite state to beat up on> hits hard times, or the governer wants to pursue some pet project, that would be the first thing some would cut
16:33:28raptorvery true
16:33:30watusimotoit's just free money to idlers and layabouts anyway
16:33:45watusimotoso there needs to be some framework to prevent that
16:34:03raptorsome are idlers and layabouts
16:34:09watusimotoof course
16:34:23raptori think it needs to go hand in hand with self-determination education
16:34:34watusimotothat used to bother me, but I decided that having layabouts and idlers is the cost of helping those who truly need it
16:34:41raptoryep, me too
16:34:48raptorbut they should be minimized
16:34:57watusimotoI accept there will be freeloaders, and, well, that's life
16:35:08watusimotosure they should
16:35:13raptormy brother in law's brother is on the WIC program
16:35:17raptorand it's funny
16:35:25raptorhe's a phd student raising a family
16:35:31raptorin a practical field
16:35:51watusimotobut that's all beside the point -- once you start instituting standards and rules on a > local or state level, you get to the national level pretty quickly
16:36:16raptorand he did the math (and research)
16:36:41raptorthe future tax revenue gained from his children using the milk and eggs, far outweighs the cost of the milk and egs
16:36:43raptor*eggs
16:36:48watusimotoha
16:37:08watusimotobut alot of this stuff isn't a financial calculation, but a moral one
16:37:24watusimototo me its less about the money and more about what kind of society we want
16:37:46raptorthat's the thing (and to bring in the standards)
16:38:04raptorthe standards should get thinner the higher up they go
16:38:32raptorbecause we're very connected, but in reality we're lots and lots of little local groups
16:38:33watusimotoso what do you gain when you give states control over welfare? As I move from Oregon to Utah, shouldn't the general standards be similar?
16:38:46raptorsure
16:38:51raptor'general' being the keyword
16:39:55raptorthink of it as (for a programming reference) the national level could provide the interface, but the local level the implementation
16:40:09watusimotowho provides the money?
16:40:16watusimotolocal taxation?
16:41:00raptorthat's a hard question because ideals don't meet human behavior
16:41:08watusimoto:-)
16:41:46watusimotoas you get more local on things like tax policy, the easier it is to dodge
16:41:53raptoryeah, so true
16:42:01raptorbut also there's less waste
16:42:07watusimotolike those who live just over the border in WA to avoid income tax, but buy everything in OR to avoid sales tax
16:42:15raptorsorry, not waste - overhead
16:42:22raptorha!
16:42:39watusimotothen you need to go through all this rigamarole to figure out who's actually working where, so you can figure out what tax rate they should pay and to whom
16:42:59watusimotoso it seems there's more overhead
16:43:08raptorthe homogenous laws clash non-homogenous cultures
16:43:20watusimotoyes
16:43:37watusimotothere is a tension there
16:44:08raptorwhich i don't know how to solve...
16:44:17watusimotowell, there is no easy answer
16:44:33watusimotounless it's to move to Wendover and stop paying Utah income tax
16:44:42raptorhaha
16:46:07raptoruh oh, i'm getting kicked out of class (it's over now)
16:46:13raptorbe back later...

19:58:56raptorhi again
19:59:19raptorsorry to leave so abruptly before, i was being displaced by another class..
20:00:49Watusimotono worries -- shouldn't be chatting in class :-)
20:01:03raptorheh
20:03:05raptorI'm also sorry I'm a bit vague on political issues - I'm reluctant to share much because of 2 reasons: 1. The limits of this communication medium with important topics, and 2. I haven't had you over for dinner yet :)
20:38:35Watusimotosome day
20:43:36raptorso back to bitfighter: i can't seem to duplicate the crash on the level selection screen, as per #56 on the list
20:44:20raptorbut maybe i'm doing it wrong. i hosted a game, pressed ESC, changed to a different level
21:25:25Flynnn has joined
21:32:43WatusimotoI'll try again -- it happened like 3 times in a row. Try testing a level before hosting.
21:32:55raptorso like in the editor?
21:34:02Watusimotocrash
21:34:03raptornope, cannot...
21:34:17raptori did make header changes recently; full recompile?
21:34:18Watusimotohost-esc-l-crash
21:34:55Watusimotocrap.. let me recompile from scratch
21:35:01Watusimotomaybe that's it
21:35:03Watusimotough!
21:35:51raptori still think vc++'s intelligent-compilation-unit-thingamabob doesn't live up to its name
21:36:19raptorbut it seems to work most fo the time..
21:37:00Watusimotowell, it saves me tons of time, most of the time
21:46:06Watusimotohooray!
21:46:13Watusimotoafter full rebuild
21:46:16Watusimotoit still crashes!
21:46:22raptorWHAT
21:46:25Watusimotoit's not just partial compilateion!
21:46:29raptorhuh
21:46:37raptorstack trace?
21:54:32Watusimotovery mysterious
21:59:13WatusimotoI'm rebuilding again
22:03:07raptorthis time with fingers crossed?
22:07:27Watusimotostill crashing
22:07:45Watusimotoconst char *LevelInfo::getLevelTypeName()
22:07:45Watusimoto{
22:07:45Watusimoto return GameType::getGameTypeName(mLevelType);
22:07:45Watusimoto}
22:07:51Watusimotoon the getGameTypeName
22:08:05raptordo you have a messed up level files somewhere
22:08:08raptor?
22:08:17raptorlike some file that didn't parse upon loading
22:08:21Watusimotodon't think so... but good thought
22:08:59raptorgrep all the GameType lines
22:15:55Watusimotosame thing with different level set
22:16:15raptordo you have code changes since the most recent commit?
22:17:22WatusimotoI don't think it's a bad level; level type would be hard to screw up and still have the level load
22:17:26Watusimotomaybe impossible
22:17:38raptoryeah, i guess that's true
22:17:57Watusimotono relevant changes
22:22:02Watusimotothis is really messed up
22:22:22raptorwhere's sam to verify...
23:27:02raptorpurge!

23:54:49raptorWatusimoto says there is a crashing error in windows, when you host a game and try to change a level
23:54:51raptordo you get that?
23:55:07amginea123456 yeah ive had that happen before not sure how though
23:55:13amginea123456 and hi btw
23:55:30raptoramginea123456 this is in 018
23:55:41raptorand hi
23:56:05amginea123456 what well apperenty its happend in 17 as well but very rarly only happend like once ever
23:56:08sam686|_| |
23:56:09sam686| | |
23:56:11amginea123456 to me
23:56:14Watusimotoamginea -- you tweaked some variable with yuor cheat prog and won the nexus game?
23:56:44Watusimotois that right?
23:56:58amginea123456 yes but only for the rason so you could patch it
23:57:02raptorFYI for any dislexic people: here is a free set of fonts to help you read better: http://dyslexicfonts.com/downloads.php
23:57:15WatusimotoI'm not unhappy -- just curious what you did
23:57:17sam686but, you can't really cheat on very much things... unless you are a host (or it is your server)
23:57:29amginea123456 i would never misuse it promise
23:57:44Watusimotono problem -- I just want to know what you tweaked
23:57:50Watusimotobecaue I don;t think it is possible
23:58:04Watusimotoso maybe I can learn something
23:58:40sam686some external cheat engine stuff only can change whats in the memory (and can often crash the game if done wrong)
23:59:07Watusimotoyes
23:59:38amginea123456 however there does seem to be 1 or two things you can do like name hack.. luckily whoevers hosting can change it
