Japanese is Difficult

<ShotZ> Nihongo ga hanaseru youni narimasu youni. - I wish to be able to speak Japanese.
<MusicalMind> ShotZ: Get something that teaches it then :D
* ShotZ grins.
<ShotZ> I tried.  It's not an easy language.  I had an easier time learning C++.
* Michellette spits coffee
* ShotZ offers a napkin.
<Michellette> such a gentleman
* ShotZ grins.

I remember working with real code

<app103> WB muppet1  <muppet1> if the batch file I made on my work pc was tangible, it would be worn out from me petting & cuddling it.  I love code like other ppl love kittens

<muppet1> ah i remember working with real code
<muppet1> code that worked
<muppet1> those were the days
<muppet1> now i am tortured by microsoft
<muppet1> a spaghetti code topped off with a house of cards
<muppet1> m$ access is not friend
<muppet1> i miss my cuddly batch file
<muppet1> i am going to go drown my sorrow in macros
<scancode> M$ Access is TEH SHIT
<muppet1> minus the
<scancode> nope
<muppet1> yep
<scancode> ppl think they can code full-blown commercial systems on it
<scancode> thus giving me some work to do :D
<muppet1> mhm
<muppet1> THEY THINK
<muppet1> it is a teaching tool
<muppet1> not business tool
<muppet1> it is a business bane
<muppet1> my bane
<scancode> /s/think/assume
<scancode> access is great for making frontends
<muppet1> i should have warm feelings for it because i really love my job.  i have my own office.  live comfortably...  i was shocked when they gave me a raise.  i felt guilty taking it
<muppet1> yes it is good for front ends
<muppet1> they don't give me write privileges on sql, oracle, or any thing that would be a suitable place for data
<scancode> lol
<muppet1> so the data stays in the jet engine
<scancode> mount a tiny mysql or something
<muppet1> as the birds their opinion on jet engine
<muppet1> the way the network is set up, that isn't likely to happen
<muppet1> hey have critical systems they protect like diamonds
<muppet1> i got a "daily security audit report" because the TECH used my login to fix an issue on my pc
<muppet1> so they gave me a 'warning' and demanded i change it immediately
<muppet1> i wanted to listen to music from a usb...  the security system had a stroke.  "what are you doing with that? you can't have that here.  all information here is protected by law..............................................blah ......................................blah
<scancode> lol

C++ is Comparable to...

<prohacker69> hey
<prohacker69> the css hack isn't working for me
<Misao-chan> This isn't a hack channel, get the fuck out you stupid troll.
<prohacker69> is anyone here?
<Shahid> synchronised(mutex) { ... } :)
<Shahid> just wraps it in a pthread_mutex_lock/unlock but i like the syntax
<Misao-chan> You should set +R
<Misao-chan> >.>
<Shahid> maybe, but it's not a problem atm, unless cn28h thinks so
<Shahid> hardly anyone interested in C, i bet c++ is active
<C-o-r-E> #c++ we mainly talk about tentacle rape
<C-o-r-E> which is very much the style of the language
<Misao-chan> C++ is only semi-active <.<
<Misao-chan> Also, if programming in C++ is comparable to tentacle rape, then I wish I were a female anime character (IRC handle notwithstanding)

Idea Explosionifier

<mouser> please make a NANY 2009 web service, even just a tiny one!!
<Allen> I would love to, but I don't have an idea!
<mouser> lets think of one for you
<Allen> The thing is, you aren't good at coming up with Tiny ideas.
<mouser> :(...
<mouser> my ideas are like those sponge capsule animals
<mouser> they start tiny
<mouser> and explode
<Allen> It's true.
<mouser> before they even leave my mouth
<mouser> my idea explosionifier kicks in
<Allen> You should have an identity change. Become "Spong Capsule Laying Bird"
<mouser> maybe dc needs a more unique mascot
<mouser> cody with a coin in his mouth
<mouser> and some cds coming out of his rump
<mouser> standing on a computer keyboard
<mouser> with a stovepipe hat
<mouser> and a monacle
<Allen> Maybe sponge capsules. CD's would *hurt*. He'd need a blood trail. And anal ointment.
<Allen> Monacles are always good.
<EhtyarWRK> (13:10:37) <Allen> The thing is, you aren't good at coming up with Tiny ideas. <-- ROFL
<Allen> It's true!
<EhtyarWRK> omg
<EhtyarWRK> so much funnyness
<Allen> I can't count how many times he and I have brainstormed on initially simple ideas, only to have them explode to un-codable proportions.
<EhtyarWRK> three quotes worth easy
<EhtyarWRK> so alllen
<EhtyarWRK> how come i don't see you?
<EhtyarWRK> r u like joto and have an hour a day?
<Allen> I wish I had a good excuse.
<Allen> Really, I'm just awful in communities--offline and off.
<Allen> I tend to get excited, then somehow slip off into lurkerdom for no good reason.
<mouser> lets think up an idea for allen!!
<Allen> Silence ensues.
<EhtyarWRK> im eating
<EhtyarWRK> nomnomnom

JavaScript: Not always what you expect

<Krishean> i found out something about arrays not too long ago
<Krishean> if you pass an array as an argument it only passes a reference to the array
<Krishean> as a function argument
<Krishean> hold on i'll get a example
<Krishean> function change(a){a[0]=2;}function main(){var a=[1];change(a);alert(a[0]);}main();
<Krishean> run that code and figure out wtf its doing
<app> not now ...i am busy being lazy
<hollow87> yo
<Krishean> heya hollow
<hollow87> sup
<Krishean> function change(a){a[0]=a[0].split('').reverse().join('');}
<Krishean> var arr=new Array();
<Krishean> arr[0]='doof';
<Krishean> change(arr);
<Krishean> alert(arr[0]);
<Krishean> thats a little more fun
<Krishean> not much
<Krishean> trying to teach an old app new tricks
<Krishean> 'doof' -> [???] -> 'food'
<Krishean> function obama(a){a[0]=a[0].split('').reverse().join('');} // its change, but not as you may expect
<Gunrunner_Gray> lol
<Krishean> its life jim, but not as we know it
<Krishean> gray have you learned any js?
<Gunrunner_Gray> Nope, not yet
<Krishean> huh
<Krishean> i'd think by being around me long enough it would catch like a bad case of the flu

A Voting Fraud Report from Virginia

I received the following IM message from a friend that lives in Virginia.

If you have heard anything similar, DO NOT BELIEVE IT!

Today is the only day to vote. Tomorrow is too late and the polls will be closed and you will not have a chance to vote and make yourself heard.

Don't listen to the lies! Go vote TODAY!
