02:09, Jam> Knowledge of "swiss cheese" is beyond your security clearance. Please report to the nearest confession booth for... treatment.
02:17, Cryoburner locks Speeder in a room full of swiss bees.
02:18, Jam takes the key and throws it into the incinerator.
02:19, Speeder> Why the conspiracy against me?
02:22, Jam> Wait! That was the key to the Mary Lou control room! I've doomed us all!
02:23, Jam dives in after the key!
02:24, Speeder> So... What we will do when everything we say is "meow meow meow" or "momelos" ?
02:24, Speeder> I wonder if Lexy was the author of that stuff :P
02:24, Speeder> I wonder why Mary Lou is using such gayish nickname for Alessandro
02:26, Jam whispers: Any news on the Mac version of PW: HTW?
02:29, Speeder> Don't hold your breath :P (unless you give me a Mac :P)
02:29, Speeder> The GNU version I need to learn how to make a package (so it tell you what files are missing... if you try to run the game with files missing it segfaults)
02:35, Jam whispers: Would the Mac version need to be compiled on a Mac, or is it just that you don't have any way to test it?
02:40, Speeder> Both
02:41, Speeder> To make a Mac version, I need a Mac to compile it, package it, make the icons, test the icons, test the package, etc... Because Mac software has some silly rules (like: software for Snow Leopard version onward should ship with a 512x512 pixel icon Oo)
02:50, Jam whispers: I could try compiling it if you want to risk giving me the source...
02:54, Jam whispers: I mean, you never know. I could be some vicious software pirate that tricks people into giving them source codes then turns around and makes a cheap copy that somehow is more successful that the original. :P
02:56, Speeder> The source is zlib :P There are no problem in handing it to you :P
03:00, Jam whispers: What is zlib? Compression?
03:03, Jam> http://www.zlib.net/ says: "zlib is already included as part of Mac OS X"
03:03, Speeder> zlib compression, is licensed in a license that got nicknamed "zlib license", that basically says: Do whatever you want, with exception of claiming that you invented stuff that you did not.
03:05, Jam> But I really did invent zlib and Mac and windows and ice cream and the wheel and stuff! :P
03:14, Jam whispers: I wish I could make something as nice as Paddle Wars... Maybe with a few more years of Lino practice...
03:17, Cryoburner> Just make some stuff, and make it do some stuff!
03:22, Cryoburner whispers: It could be called Stuff Wars: Stuff the Stuff!
03:26, Cryoburner whispers: That actually gives me a vague idea for a game. About stuffing stuff, of course. :P
03:27, Speeder> I would never attempt to make paddle wars in lino :P I did once a CDRom autorun menu, and it was trouble enough Oo
03:42, Cryoburner> The new Bioshock certainly looks like it will be different. :P http://www.gametrailers.com/video/debut-trailer-bioshock-infinite/702795
03:58, Cryoburner whispers: You can also view the trailer, along with a few screenshots at the official site. -> www.bioshockinfinite.com
04:56, Speeder> This turn is FUNny, 3 players in a row FUNnyily mentioned FUN
04:57, Speeder> The first one to not use "FUN" in their post, lose.
10:38, Pomelos> No FUN.
11:27, Mingamango181> Consumed Hot FUN.
13:10, E_net4> FUN = Freaking Unbelievable Nonsense
13:10, E_net4> ...wait, what.
14:32, Cryoburner> Mary Lou, what is FUN?
14:32, Mary Lou> Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, legally known as Cedar Fair, L.P., is a publicly traded partnership, based in Sandusky, Ohio, USA at its Cedar Point thrill park, that owns and operates amusement parks in North America.

14:32, Mary Lou> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FUN
15:10, Buuks> Sounds like fun.
17:16, Cryoburner> Mary, what is the solution to the problem?
17:16, Mary Lou> Sorry file not found.
17:21, Cryoburner whispers: Mary, what is Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitok atakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopele iolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon?
17:21, Mary Lou> The original Greek spelling had 171 characters and for centuries it was the longest word known and it is considered the longest word ever to appear in literature.
17:22, Cryoburner whispers: You handled that quite well.
19:01, Buuks> Mary Lou, what do you think of Cryoburner?
19:02, Buuks> Indeed, it is better to keep quite on that. :P
19:09, Speeder> Today I did a good deed, I rescued my dog, after it was playing with a toy and feel in the half-filled pool (thus, too hard to exit)
23:41, Cryoburner whispers: And did he thank you by ripping a pipe off the wall?
