| 03:09:07 [gadgetgrl] | blood-c is what i'm watching |
| 03:09:22 [gadgetgrl] | i'm wondering if it's similar in all |
| 03:11:30 [Puyopuyo] | Blood+ was more of a long-running drama than a monster of the week. |
| 03:11:32 [Puyopuyo] | I'd have to see Blood-C. |
| 03:11:39 [Puyopuyo] | And Blood wasn't at all, as it was a movie. |
| 03:14:17 [Pipian] | whee |
| 03:14:17 [Pipian] | almost done with season 2 of breaking bad |
| 03:14:17 [Pipian] | one |
| 03:14:17 [Pipian] | disc |
| 03:14:17 [Pipian] | at |
| 03:14:17 [Pipian] | a |
| 03:14:17 [Pipian] | time |
| 03:14:50 [Puyopuyo] | ...don't you have several more seasons to go? |
| 03:16:01 [Pipian] | … yes. |
| 03:16:09 [Pipian] | But I'm taking a break after this one |
| 03:16:13 [Pipian] | To watch some movies instead |
| 03:16:20 [Puyopuyo] | Ah |
| 03:16:31 [Pipian] | And also The Wire |
| 03:16:45 [Pipian] | Because apparently it is good and I have heard practically everyone I know recommend it |
| 03:16:55 [Pipian] | And by practically everyone I know |
| 03:17:19 [Pipian] | I mean no one in this channel |
| 03:17:19 [Puyopuyo] | You better not mean your brother. |
| 03:17:19 [Pipian] | He's not the only one |
| 03:17:23 [Pipian] | I've seen at least two other reccomendations |
| 03:24:59 [gadgetgrl] | i've had various friends recommend it as well |
| 03:25:08 [gadgetgrl] | i was supposed to get it in the fall...but the harddrive exchange never happened |
| 03:26:00 [gadgetgrl] | i ended up watching dexter instead |
| 03:29:05 [Puyopuyo] | Heh |
| 03:35:19 [Pipian] | So instead of Breaking Bad, I watched The Red Balloon last night |
| 03:41:06 [Puyopuyo] | ...I don't think I liked that movie. |
| 03:41:12 [Puyopuyo] | I recall seeing it twice. |
| 03:41:20 [Pipian] | COMING OF AGE |
| 03:41:20 [Puyopuyo] | When I was very young. |
| 03:41:31 [Puyopuyo] | I recall thinking it was depressing, meaningless, and why the hell was I watching it, I was only 6. |
| 03:41:32 [Pipian] | Or something |
| 03:41:51 [Puyopuyo] | And then the ending was entirely bizarre, and what about all of the children who lost their balloons? |
| 03:42:05 [Puyopuyo] | How was this a fair ending? Why did he deserve all of the balloons? |
| 03:42:17 [Pipian] | Sam |
| 03:42:22 [Pipian] | You don't understand balloon logic |
| 03:42:29 [Pipian] | He liked the balloon |
| 03:42:33 [Pipian] | Therefore balloons liked him |
| 03:42:38 [Pipian] | And therefore he deserved them all |
| 03:42:40 [Pipian] | or something |
| 03:42:44 [Pipian] | It's balloon logic |
| 03:42:48 [Pipian] | It's not supposed to make senes |
| 03:44:31 [Pipian] | But no, really it was the standard "Don't be a jerk kid who steals other peoples' balloons. Be a good kid." |
| 03:47:28 [Puyopuyo] | All I got out of it was "If something bad happens to someone else, I suffer for it" |
| 03:48:05 [Puyopuyo] | If I'm going to watch anything from my friggen childhood, at least I'd want to watch The Snowman. |
| 03:48:22 [Puyopuyo] | And that was a friggen CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. |
| 03:48:43 [Pipian] | Sam |
| 03:49:03 [Pipian] | That is a weird moral to draw out of it |
| 03:50:56 [Pipian] | I am pretty sure that is the opposite moral actually |
| 03:50:59 [Pipian] | :-| |
| 03:56:51 [Puyopuyo] | Well, they had a shot of a kid holding a balloon, and it leaving his hand to go and join our protagonist's friggen harem of balloons. |
| 03:57:02 [Puyopuyo] | He didn't need the hundred he ended up with. He only needed one! |
| 03:57:22 [Puyopuyo] | One could have magically flown over to him, WITHOUT SHOWING SOME POOR BASTARD GETTING HIS BALLOON TAKEN FOR A METAPHYSICAL MORAL. |
| 03:57:52 [Puyopuyo] | It sucks that the main character got his balloon taken by a jerk and damaged and then it was no longer floating and then he stomped on it, but come on. |
| 03:58:07 [Puyopuyo] | What right does that give him for everyone else's balloons to deprive their children? |
| 03:58:31 [Pipian] | Haha |
| 03:58:38 [Puyopuyo] | (Yes, I'm the sort of person who worries about the lesser characters. Everything works out fine for the protagonists, but what about the extras?) |
| 03:58:59 [Puyopuyo] | It's part of why I've always hated Zora's Domain in Ocarina of Time. IT NEVER FUCKING UNFREEZES. |
| 03:59:07 [Pipian] | True |
| 03:59:19 [Puyopuyo] | There is something to be said for showing that things work out for the poor extras. |
| 03:59:31 [Puyopuyo] | As much of what goes on is entirely the protagonist's fault. |
| 03:59:37 [Puyopuyo] | So yes. I did not like The Red Balloon. |
| 03:59:48 [Puyopuyo] | Because everyone else loses their balloons just so that one boy may have all of them. |
| 04:00:04 [Puyopuyo] | And that's a dictatorship. A balloonist dictatorship. |
| 04:00:19 [Puyopuyo] | ...hrm. No. |
| 04:02:11 [Puyopuyo] | A balloonist totalitarianist regime. There. |
| 04:02:13 [Puyopuyo] | Er, totalitarian |
| 04:02:21 [Pipian] | Haha |
| 04:02:30 [Puyopuyo] | One man, ALL THE BALLOONS. |
| 04:07:51 [Pipian] | What can I say? Lucky kid. |
| 04:10:38 [Puyopuyo] | He's a despot, that's what he is. "I HAVE NO BALLOON. ALL OF YOURS SHALL BE MINE." |
| 04:18:48 [nathanbp|laptop] | ........ |
| 04:19:10 [nathanbp|laptop] | that is a totally bizarre thing to read as I tab into chat |
| 04:19:20 [Puyopuyo] | You have to have seen the movie. |
| 04:22:58 [nathanbp|laptop] | so I tried scoring some hands of mahjong |
| 04:23:05 [Puyopuyo] | And? |
| 04:23:34 [nathanbp|laptop] | but I kept getting enough han that how much fu I had didn't matter |
| 04:24:01 [Puyopuyo] | Heh. That's annoying for scoring. |
| 04:24:09 [nathanbp|laptop] | well it makes scoring really easy |
| 04:24:16 [nathanbp|laptop] | it just makes practising counting fu hard |
| 04:24:25 [ChanServ] | -!- ChanServ set mode +o on nathanbp|laptop |
| 04:24:52 [nathanbp|laptop] | also fu get rounded up so that also makes it hard to be sure that you're right |
| 04:26:15 [Puyopuyo] | Heh. |
| 04:56:12 [gadgetgrl] | more people should have more interesting names...it makes data entry that much more interesting :p |
| 04:57:27 [Puyopuyo] | ? |
| 04:59:00 [gadgetgrl] | someone's name was capcha...it was a minor break in other more complicated long names |
| 04:59:32 [gadgetgrl] | i need to automate a process, but lotus agents isn't something i'm looking forward to |
| 04:59:44 [Pipian] | MapReduce! |
| 04:59:47 [Pipian] | Oh right |
| 04:59:50 [Pipian] | Not at Google :-| |
| 05:00:02 [gadgetgrl] | :p |
| 05:00:15 [Puyopuyo] | >_> |
| 05:00:26 [Pipian] | (Also that's not a direct answer anyway considering that MapReduce doesn't AUTOMATE anything.) |
| 05:05:46 [gadgetgrl] | what does it do? |
| 05:07:29 [Pipian] | It's just a way to work on massive amounts of data in parallel across hundreds, if not thousands of machines |
| 05:07:38 [gadgetgrl] | that and south american names who decide to use their ENTIRE 3-4 names suck :p |
| 05:07:42 [gadgetgrl] | ah |
| 05:08:08 [gadgetgrl] | so one reason google doesn't own a mainframe :p |
| 05:08:34 [Pipian] | Google's got so much data to work with a mainframe is basically a drop in a torrent. |
| 05:09:23 [Pipian] | It's cheaper and more efficient to just have hundreds of thousands of high-end servers which probably only cost a couple thousand dollars a piece TOPS. |
| 05:09:41 [Pipian] | And almost certainly less as I believe we design our own hardware |
| 05:11:05 [Pipian] | Also |
| 05:11:16 [gadgetgrl] | and software, yes |
| 05:11:33 [Pipian] | Well, that fact goes without saying |
