so what's being discussed in here?

not much

rebooting windows in gaelic

I think

that's awesome, except that I don't speak gaelic

windows doesn't support gaelic :(

although with only 50,000 speakers of the language i wouldn't expect them too

just checking the language list in fedora -- it has a "Manx Gaelic"

whatever that means

that's a different language really

hm, you could translate it yourself

(: I remember changing the Windows Start Button text when I was younger

... on the school's library computers

I translated whole games with a hex editor

haha, everyone has hobbies

that's pretty hard because you can't use more characters than the original

Hello all

and in most cases, german is longer than english

Hi @Chacha102 -- Guinness for all, please

We're fresh out. The guys last night ran be dry. A truck will be delivering more later today.

that's an outrage! let's trash the place

You can blame Jeff and Marc. They're heavy drinkers..

@Josef i wouldn't have a hope of translating it myself, i can't actually write gaelic, i just know a few phrases :)

i can order a meal and give directions to a taxi driver, but that's about it

yeah, I can see in Jeff's recent edit that he's had a few

I see, well using software you know well in a different language to learn it could work..

Space Quest had a huge part in my learning English

i loved space quest, it was one of the first games i ever played

Hello (chat)World!

Hello

Hows it going?

How long has this chat thing been up?

I came to know about it just now...

a few days

Maybe a week

since tuesday

Welcome to my Tavern. Where we have our fill of bread and wine, and then tell tales of other times we've had our fill of bread and wine.

We're all out of Guinness...

ohkay... nice

Your tavern, eh?

> San Francisco has been working on making parking "smarter" for quite a while now, and it's just starting to replace over 5,000 older parking meters with the snazzy new model pictured above. Those will not only let you pay with a credit or debit card (and soon a special SFMTA card), but automatically adjust parking rates based on supply and demand, which means you could pay anywhere from $0.25 to $6.00 an hour depending on how many free spaces there are.

Yes

Everything is logged and searchable via the search button near the room name

The news media needs to get a better iPhone image. This image is thrown around way too much, and is almost guaranteed to be on anything covering the iPhone when they couldn't find a better pic:

or something similar.

@balpha We need to whitelist dilbert comics so they can be bigger.

oh god just checked my inbox and i have a 500 line support request in there

oh has code and stacktraces and everything, this is going to take ages to pick through...

Ev'nin'

I wonder if this chat site will finally convince me to stop using chatspeak in IMs, IRC and in-game chat (the only places where I still use it)...

@WimHollebrandse Hello!

Aye, just paste the image URL.

today's abstruce goose

*abstruse

ah, someone linked that yesterday

Life is just a big MMORPG I reckon.

:|

Well, I play MMORPGs, thus I'm playing an MMORPG in an MMORPG.

Maybe we should make a game where we control people playing MMORPGs!

Make a game where we write MMORPGs of people writing MMORPGs of *recurse*

Yep, indeed. Some recursion.

And BOOM!

Stackoverflow.

Hey, Stack Overflow does feel like an MMORPG somewhat... with all that rep, and the badges.

Oh except we don't get to PM people.

I guess all we need is Guilds ;-)

Teams of devs that can work toward team/guild badges...

@BoltClock or loot monsters

And clearly, rep gain should be subject to diminishing returns.

Nearing some asymptotical maximum.

@Wim: how do you do that?

Do what? Ramble like that?

That tag effect thingamajig.

Ah. Just [status-.......]

prepares for status-onslaught

Does it only apply to status-* tags? Seems so...

AFAIK yes.

And it true MMPORG 'spell' style: "Any punctuation cancels the effect."

Clearly not included in the regex.

Hello

Hows it going?

It's half past 5 in the morning here

Why are you up so late?

Cause it's the weekend :P

@Fara yeah but I haven't slept so I guess it -could- be considered late...

pff sleep is for the weak!

Gah. I hate clicking on a question in the active list, seeing old dates, searching for the new activity...then finally noticing it was a community bump.
