fantasai: quips

Ian: People mix up QA and Q&A. Like, I've heard people say, "I'm in Q and A."
Tantek: Quality and Assurance: "Really, really, it'll be ok."

Ian (to David): You had to be there.
Fantasai: He was there.
Ian: Mentally, I mean.

< dbaron> hmm, I do know things about other topics, though.

ACTION =Ian= publish book of World's Numbering Systems based on Lists module :)
             send proceeds to WG pizza fund

X: They have preferred Dave Winer to RDF, that's how much they dislike RDF.
Y: We have a use case for Dave Winer!
(Names have been changed to protect the guilty.)

<Hixie> David: I'd like one minute of silence
<Hixie> * Group laughs for a minute instead

<anne> "common sense" is btw not really testable
<Bert> It is, but only statistically.

<TabAtkins> Well technically function definitions aren't valid vdf right now,
            so everyone's just running off of vibes

Florian: Are you sure about the generalization from spaces to word separators?
fantasai: Yes, if you're applying Ethiopic ruby annotations to kanji, you'd want Ethiopic word space to behave the same as a regular space.
Florian: I suppose it's not unreasonable for Ethiopians to learn Japanese.

Dom: (growling) The four hungry werewolves wake up.
[minutes pass in silence]
Dom: Consensus is hard.
Villager A: That's what she said.
Villager B: No, that's not what she said.
Villager C: Are there any formal objections?
Villager D: That was a long night.
Villager E: That's what she said.

sgalineau: Vacation: the act of not reading mailing lists.
frivoal: @sgalineau it's the other way around for me these days.
sgalineau: @frivoal You really need a sane hobby.

Sylvain: Turns out that Bing maps includes detailed maps of many US airports
Tab: Perfect for THE TERRORISTS!!! Why does Microsoft hate America?
Sylvain: But now you also know where to stand to unleash your epic radial gradients to thwart them!
Tab: Just wait until we get animated repeating radial gradients. I'LL BLIND THEM WITH SCIENCE.
fantasai: Extreme violation of the WAG in order to induce epileptic seizure on our enemies? Brilliant.
Sylvain: Once GCPM is weaponized there is no end to what we can accomplish

Ray: Who do you work for? :)
me: The W3C
me: http://www.w3.org/
Ray: Wow! You're part of that Secret Cabal that controls the Internet!
me: well, we just try to coordinate it
Ray: You just wait. Somebody will release a "Protocols of the Elders of
    the W3C" and it'll become a cult classic, and people will ask you
    if you really sacrifice humanities majors to appease the AIs to make
    network switches work faster
Ray: And the UN will attempt a hostile takeover :-P

<fantasai> Hixie: It's very frustrating for me that you insist on being
           absurdly technically correct in some things and deliberately
           technically wrong in others.
<Hixie> it's very frustrating to me that you concentrate on minor details
        instead of the content :-)
<fantasai> at least I'm consistent :)

<@dbaron> wow, a breeze.  I didn't think they had such things in California.
< caillon> heh
<@kerz> there's wind?
<@kerz> who do i call to fix that
< caillon> I'd rather fix the temperature.  70 is too cold.
< peterv> maybe the governor can help?

<ruffi> stuart try drinking tea. I drunk 4.5 liters (1.2 gal) yesterday
        to fight my flu. Succesfully.
<dwitte> you drank it successfully?
<sayrer> I don't know why stuart hasn't done this before
<sayrer> stuart, drink 1.2 gallons of tea
<stuart> uh huh

<dbaron> Did you check the cabinets?
<jhford> Which ones?
<dbaron> All of them?

Pierre: *humorously* They should set up a commission.

Shoja: So that the commission can discuss it for ten years and come to the conclusion that it is urgent to wait.
