<Stephen66> "Could not find XULRunner in /bin/debug/
<Stephen66> IT IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE
<lanux128> you should shout harder!
<lanux128> it can't hear you
<mouser> stephen deep breaths!
<Stephen66> I'm having programming problems...not in labor...

<[e]dvard> i suffered with an nt4 workstation for 3 years at that place
<[e]dvard> from 2003!!
<app103> could have been worse
<app103> you could have been using WinME on a Pentium I, over 33.6k dialup
<[e]dvard> i did that, but it was at home, not work :P
<[e]dvard> what was funny was the machine it ran on was like 1.x GHz with 2 GB of RAM
<[e]dvard> i mean, nt4 was designed to run comfy on a 486 with 256 MB of RAM
<[e]dvard> but it didn't run any snappier than any other computer
<[e]dvard> if OSs were self-aware, it was like nt4 "knew" it was grandpa driving a lamborghini to the bingo hall
<[e]dvard> and went 40mph the whole way anyway
<rgdot> it was self regulating its own power use
<[e]dvard> yeah, something like that
<[e]dvard> "2GB of RAM? Hold the gravy, grandma, I'm getting a little woozy"
<rgdot> hehe
<[e]dvard> and running firefox on it was a trip
<[e]dvard> firefox was like a little kid pulling on grandpa's elbow, saying "let's ride the CYCLONE, gramps!!"
<rgdot> "oh no Flash not letting me go full speed ahead"

<Stephen66> lol wut
<Stephen66> I have $NaN DonationCredits
<app> you broke the donation credits system!
<w3bcrawler> I'M RICH, Bwaahahahahaha!
<w3bcrawler> -Stephen66
<Stephen66> Why is it always ME that ends up with a broken forum
<app> $Not a Number <--doesn't make you rich
<Stephen66> NaN would mean I don't even have 0
<Stephen66> lol
<w3bcrawler> of course it does.. if your assets can't be quantified, i'd say, that's pretty goddamn incredible
<Stephen66> It might as well say I have $lemon DonationCredits
<Stephen66> y'know...cause Lemon isn't a number
<Stephen66> :P
<app> exactly
<w3bcrawler> but lemon *is* a number
<Stephen66> I worry for our education system

<Stephen66> I really want a web project I can do in my spare time but cannot think of a damn thing to do
<Deozaan> Stephen66: Make a game.
<Stephen66> That isn't a web project
<Stephen66> I was thinking something that wouldn't take up a whole bunch of time but would be fun to do
<Deozaan> Make a web page devoted to Munch
<Deozaan> Make a dogblog
<Stephen66> "Today I licked my balls, tomorrow, I think I will lick my ass"
<Deozaan> Yup.
<Deozaan> "And now to write about my dog."
<Stephen66> LOL
<Deozaan> :D

<mouser> i just had an amazing idea for a small website idea
<Stephen66> you had an idea for an idea?
<mouser> probably exists, but if not so cool
<Stephen66> and is this an actual small website...or a "Mousers version of small" website
<Stephen66> The same way as you once said SSC has a small menu
<mouser> yeah i know
<mouser> already had 10 more ideas for it
<Stephen66> lol
<mouser> but fuck this is a damn cool one
<Stephen66> You're as bad as me for this stuff haha
<Stephen66> Are you gonna let us in on the idea?
<Stephen66> Or just informing us you had an idea
<mouser> not going to let you in yet
<mouser> got to sketch it out more
<mouser> but its easy to code(!)
<mouser> not too much work
<mouser> and very user-content driven
<mouser> and its very weird
<mouser> im sure it exists though
<mouser> maybe you can help me search for it
<mouser> after i wake up
<Stephen66> Shit...We have a sleep talking mouser...
<Deozaan> You'll forget about it if you sleep before telling anyone!
<Stephen66> ^ Yes!
<Stephen66> Although, from the way he worded it...he is already asleep
<Stephen66> He is sleep tying
<Stephen66> Mousers new patented software: "Sleep and Type Robot"
<Stephen66> It uses technology from his other new invention "DreamshotCaptor"
<Stephen66> And I am fairly sure is incorporates some features found in "REM Snooper"

<edweird> life lesson #137.4: when processing horseradish, wear a full face gas mask
<w3bcrawler> lol
<edweird> my eyes still hurt
<w3bcrawler> i've become immune to any kind of eye irritant, i have fresh garlic and onion in 2/3 of my daily meals lol
<edweird> i had no idea
<edweird> i had the blender at arms length and i still got stung
<edweird> WTH - horseradish contains MUSTARD OIL?!?!?!
<edweird> no freakin wonder
<app103> as in mustard gas
<edweird> yah
<w3bcrawler> bah mustard gas is good for you
<w3bcrawler> it'll put hair on your chest
<edweird> it'll burn the hair off my chest
<app103> that's not real hair...that's the eyelashes that fell out
<edweird> HAHAHA
<w3bcrawler> lmao

<w3bcrawler> i think i just witnessed teh cutest insect ever
<w3bcrawler> went out for a cigarette and there was a baby bublebee he was like .5cm long learning to fly
<w3bcrawler> he would fly for a short span, land, usually on his back, freak out, and try again
<Deozaan> Probably dying from second-hand smoke. )c:
<Deozaan> :P
<Deozaan> Sorry for being such a cynic.
<w3bcrawler> he'd have to have some pretty powerful baby lungs to inhale a gas emanating from 1m away :P
<Deozaan> Cigarrette smoke travels long distances. :-/
<Deozaan> I've been in the middle of a park and smelled it, look around and not see anyone, much less see anyone smoking.

<Deozaan> So, I think I've asked you about this a zillion times, but the good news is that I remember how to do it, but I'm not sure what it's called...
<Deozaan> I want to get a percentage of a range.
<Deozaan> As a value between 0-1
<Deozaan> But the range can be anything.
<Deozaan> So for example, if I wanted 50% (0.5) of the range 2-10, it would give me 6.
<Deozaan> I know the solution is: x = (max-min) * percent + min
<Deozaan> But what would you call that process? Or that end result?
<Deozaan> (I'm trying to think of a name for the function that will do this for me)
<mouser> function
<Deozaan> Would that be... normalizing?
<mouser> no
<mouser> normalizing is like
<mouser> if a value is in range 2-10
<mouser> and you NORMALIZE it to give you a value from 0 to 1
<Deozaan> So I want to un-normalize it.
<Deozaan> denormalize
<mouser> which would be (val-min)/(max-min)
<Deozaan> abnormalize
<mouser> something like that
<mouser> though im not sure there is a term for it
<mouser> scaling it
<Deozaan> ScaledRange() might be a good one.
<Jibz> Deozaanize()
<Deozaan> :D
<Deozaan> That's the same thing as abnormalize, Jibz. :P
