We had a newbie visiting 
--> keaton (keaton@h24-79-87-66.vc.shawcable.net) has joined #freeciv
hi, Cosh
Greetings, keaton
Are other guys here?
oopps
Are other guys here, Cosh?
OK, keaton.
Cosh?
keaton?
hi keaton
hi, Sc
hello keaton
cosh: yow
Everybody gets free BORSCHT!
cosh: yow
Yow! Those people look exactly like Donnie and Marie Osmond!!
oushe
BORSCHT, Cosh?
keaton: Seek the ear of truth, not the mouth of baubles
Cosh: BORSCHT?
You have forgotten something, keaton
keaton: are you in Vancouver?
How do you know that?
the DNS name i guess
keaton: DNS name then a traceroute
You must have other ways.
.vc.
well a whois on shawcable directed me to Calgary...
* paulz shrugs
heh
As far as i know, this channel is full of pathetic coding XXX
i don't remember using whois for a loong time
?!
Programmer
keaton: what do you mean?
cosh isn't a pathetic coding XXX!
Cosh: seen patrix?
patrix was last seen on #freeciv 30 minutes and 33 seconds ago, saying: ttyl [Mon Jun 18 18:13:46 2001]
keaton: in case you didn't notice this is the openprojects IRC network
Well, Chaose is good at linux.
>paulz< LOL
ChaosE?
ChaosE is not sure what causes it ... when we play in LAN we never experience any problems
heh
And I am a mighty linux newbie at it,..
its a matter of priorities
Last time when he was demonstrating the multiuser theory, he scared the hell of me.
?
??
He asked me to "xhost +" and then displayed the death star on my screen.
Hooly.
vasc: after '?' comes ' ?' then '??' then ' ?'
OK paulz
keaton: ahh, yes xhost + is not a good idea
i remember running some fancy screensaver
Fortuneately he taught me to "xhost -", too.
vasc: we had a discussion here in the office once about if we used binary in everyday arithmatic
vasc: i pointed out you could count to 1024 on your hands
paulz: true
how?
vasc: however 4, 128 and especially 132 become ... interesting
vasc: asumming you start at a thumb and go across with your palms toward your face
then?
heh
keaton: put your thumb is 1
yes
keaton: your pointer finger is 2
right
keaton: your pointer finger and your thumb is 3
right
keaton: so show someone near you 4
uh?
4 is the middle finger
only the middle finger?
keaton: yes in binary
1 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3
* sc is away: work.
100 = 4
101 = 5
110 = 6
111 = 7
and so on
I bet you don`t use this theory in financial debate.
like i said, 4, 128 and 132 don't make many friends
anyway that is a cultural problem
yeah, i can image that
vasc: true
i never thought about using the binary system that way
vasc: I guess 1 would be a problem some places
<-- Kero has quit (bye!)
vasc: and 6 in other places
6 is?
keaton: similiar to a peace sign in .us
oh yes i remember seeing 6 in dragonball Z
i think the britons also did that
what is 6 anyway?
6 is paulz's brother and the new 'supports' for our ceiling
hehe
* paulz smacks Cosh
a friend of mine once told me, it had to do with the british longbowmen getting the 2 and 4 fingers cut off
um
so they waved them to the french in some battle to sneer
I think he was refering to http://civserver.freeciv.org/~paulz/...-work3-006.jpg
vasc: I had heard it was only the 4 finger.... but anyway
vasc: I think it has to do with feminine anatomy
but thats just a guess
i was talking about the V like sign
um
the V
vasc: me too
oh
hmm
vasc: we use it here as a 'peace' sign
yes i know
vasc: but usually the palm faces outward
V for victory eh?
heh
paulz: So how do you show 1024?
we also use um 28 for 'ok'
i remember seeing some program on WWII
keaton: all your fingers (well thats really 1023)
the peace sign i guess is derived from that, they used it in what the 60's 70's?
Are you kidding me?
vasc: 28 making a circle with your 1 and 2 fingers
vasc: yes
keaton: no
um....surprising
keaton: do you understand binary?
keaton: imagine 0 and 1 are your fingers, 0 for down, 1 for up
i learned it once, but i didn`t do a lot of practivce
keaton: on one hand you count this way
00000
00001
00010
00011
00100
00101
00111
01000
and so on
01000= ?
2^5
how com?
combinations
come?
see it this way?
what is the value of 11?
vasc: its really 2^3...
it's 10*1+1
let me see..
er 4
in base 10:
11=3?
yes
yup
mmmmmmmm...
is there better way of converting them mathmatically?
its the same thing in base 10 but you're used to that: 234 = 10^2*2 + 10^1*3 + 10^0*4
then?
so in binary: 11 = 2^1*1 + 2^0*1
cosh: 2^1*1+2^0*1
1

stupid bot
haha
* vasc kicks cosh
how do i kick someone?
or smack or shrug?
just '/me text'
keaton You should really look at that link I posted
ok..
thue: hey cool, they use the fingers
mozzila starts so slow.
17 is hang loose
and 19 is I love you
hmm
wooooo, i thought studying tech has to be boring...
* paulz shrugs
>paulz< LOL
* sc is away: work.
<-- Kero has quit (bye!)
* paulz smacks Cosh
* vasc kicks cosh
I can't beleive you guys were talking about binary
