| 11:17 | <@gnolam> | Whoa. |
| 11:19 | <@gnolam> | That exam I almost got discarded due to my Database Transparency striking again? It appears I aced it. |
| 11:20 | <@gnolam> | It also means I must've gotten the bloody Cell question correct, which means I no longer have to be mad at IBM. :) |

| 12:13 | < Vornicus> | "database transparency"? |
| 12:15 | <@gnolam> | It's one of my superpowers. |
| 12:15 | <@gnolam> | The amazing ability to get records about me deleted from official databases. |
| 12:15 | <@gnolam> | (While it might sound like a great power to have, it's a pain in the ass most of the time.) |
| 12:16 | < Alek> | apparently you're supposed to become Mr. Terrific. |
| 12:17 | <@gnolam> | (It's only been beneficial /once/, when all my records at the National Service Administration got nuked) |
| 12:28 | <@TheWatcher> | "national service administration"? |
| 12:46 | <@gnolam> | Yes. |
| 12:47 | | * Vornicus calls gnolam "Gnolie Tables" |
| 12:48 | <@gnolam> | The people who force you through a barrage of gruelling tests and then send you off to 8-24 cold, cold months in the mud somewhere. |
| 12:49 | <@gnolam> | In my case, as ablative meat armor for tanks. |
| 12:50 | | * TheWatcher guesses at Sweden? |
| 12:51 | <@gnolam> | Yup. |
| 12:53 | < Vornicus> | arglfarg! |
| 12:54 | < Vornicus> | I need symbolic algebra! |
| 12:54 | | * TheWatcher can do shambolic algebra, if that counts? |
| 12:54 | < Vornicus> | what's shambolic algebra? |
| 12:54 | <@TheWatcher> | Like normal algebra, but more chaotic. |
| 12:55 | < Vornicus> | uh...huh. |
| 12:55 | <@TheWatcher> | ¬¬ |
| 12:55 | <@TheWatcher> | *cough* |
| 12:56 | < Vornicus> | actually I just need a calculator that can handle radicals without trying to evaluate them. |

| 14:20 | <@Serah> | Mathcad? |
| 14:22 | < Vornicus> | never mind, I got it. |
| 14:22 | < Vornicus> | I just can't read. |
| 14:33 | | * Serah PatPats Vornicus. |
| 14:33 | <@Serah> | Eyes fell out? |
| 14:40 | < Vornicus> | no, just illiterate |
| 14:43 | <@TheWatcher> | Anyone know of anything that can generate call graph diagrams for perl code? |
| 14:44 | <@EvilDarkLord> | Cat intestines? |
| 15:05 | <@Serah> | Slave labor? |

| 18:23 | <@gnolam> | So. What's a good bittorrent client for Linux? |
| 18:27 | < Vornicus> | I believe TF's weapon of choice is uTorrent. |
| 18:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | No. |
| 18:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | My weapon of choice is ktorrent, because utorrent is windows only. |
| 18:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | I'm told it runs well in wine, but I don't run wine on Orias. |
| 18:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | Before ktorrent, it was rtorrent (a feature-rich tty bittorent client) |
| 18:29 | < Vornicus> | aha |
| 18:29 | <@ToxicFrog> | That said, I would say: utorrent if you run locally and have no problems with wine. rtorrent if you want a tty app. ktorrent if you want a native X app and don't mind KDE-aspected programs. |
| 18:30 | <@ToxicFrog> | If you want a native X app but don't want to install KDE stuff, I have no clue. |
| 18:31 | <@McMartin> | Transmission is then your only choice, but it is minimal. |
| 18:31 | <@McMartin> | Azureus is the insanely heavyweight cross-platform client, useful only if you want to have a programmable expert system decide what to seed |
| 18:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hardly your only; there's azureus, btdownloadgui.py, and several others |
| 18:32 | <@ToxicFrog> | Indeed, when I first started torrenting my bittorent client was (for *.torrent in ~/torrents/; do btdownloadgui.py "$i" --saveas "~/torrents/buffer/${i/.torrent/}/"; done) |
| 18:33 | <@AnnoDomini> | McMartin: Plus they've turned it into an even bigger hog, called Vuze. |
| 18:33 | <@AnnoDomini> | ;_; |
| 19:20 | < Alek|away> | a lot of torrent sites have declared utorrent client non grata. |
| 19:20 | < Alek|away> | Vuze, otoh, is more and more in favor. |
| 19:20 | < Alek|away> | and it's rather simple to use, for me at least. |
| 19:21 | < Alek|away> | there's also java-based ones. including a version of vuze. |
| 19:21 | < Alek|away> | which plug into the browser, so SHOULD be cross-platform on the appropriate browsers. |
| 19:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | Alek|away: utorrent? |
| 19:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | I've seen lots of bans of BitComet (or was that BitTornado?) because it lies constantly to the tracker, but not utorrent. |

| 20:57 | < Alek|away> | I've seen utorrent bans, yes. and yes, bitcomet is the one that lies - there's HUGE entries on that point in the Vuze wikia. |
| 20:58 | < Alek|away> | of course, bittornado might be a liar too. I dunno. :P |

| 23:16 | < gnolam> | Amazing. I'm almost getting my faith in social sciences back. |
| 23:18 | <@AnnoDomini> | Is this madness? Is this Sparta? |
| 23:18 | < gnolam> | (I'm currently giving a psych B.A.-turning-history-teacher friend a crash course in Unix - and I'm not having a hard time doing it) |
| 23:19 | <@AnnoDomini> | Do not study what you love, for you will come to hate it. |
| 23:20 | < gnolam> | I think it's more "Do not get a BA in Psychology, for you will stay unemployed". |
| 23:21 | <@AnnoDomini> | That's not the way it is in Poland. You can get somewhere with Psychology. It's Philosophy that's the place where those who can't get anywhere else go to. |
| 23:33 | < gnolam> | From getting sudo explained to him to adding APT reposotories in just 20 minutes? The guy can learn fast when he puts his mind to it! :) |
