03:09:07 <gadgetgrl> blood-c is what i'm watching
03:09:17 <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.
03:11:38 <Puyopuyo> And Blood wasn't at all, as it was a movie.
03:13:41 <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
03:14:19 <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
03:16:59 <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
03:24:57 <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
03:25:13 <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.
03:41:15 <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.
04:02:05 <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.
04:06:42 <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?
04:23:24 <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 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
04:57:09 <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.
05:09:10 <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.
05:09:30 <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
