Now people use it on everybody who don't want to degrade the values of the culture by gay pride and stuff like that 00:16:40 <MeusH> not normal = sick (here) 00:16:42 <Mortomes> From their point of view, they aren't. 00:17:00 <MeusH> I meant global point of view 00:17:01 <Bjarni> if it continues like this, it will be considered bad not to be gay 00:17:27 <MeusH> it already is 00:17:29 <Bjarni> like "heterosexual people are gay people, who are too weak to admit it" 00:17:40 <Bjarni> or some other bullshit 00:17:50 <Eddi|zuHause3> <Smoovious> of course I had a choice... you do know there are more people that run for office than just dems and reps, right? <- funny, i just watched that old simpsons episode today (halloween special), where some aliens took the form of bill clinton and bob dole, and then the guy says: "so i'm just gonna vote for a 3rd candidate." and the aliens answer: "if you want to throw away your vote"... 00:17:52 <Sacro|Laptop> yes, because bumsex really helps the population 00:17:54 <MeusH> somewhere near UK it's illegal to call parents "mum" and "dad" 00:17:59 <MeusH> do you know what does it mean? 00:17:59 <Mortomes> I'm sorry that you believe that stereotype applies to all gay people :/ 00:18:10 <Smoovious> that's just as silly as the groups who treat homophobia as something to be fixed, or a mental disorder 00:18:14 <MeusH> 3 years child HAS TO call their mum "guardian" 00:18:23 <MeusH> otherwise, 3 year child will be homophobic 00:18:33 * Smoovious grins at Eddi|zuHause3 00:18:34 *** Sacro|Laptop [Ben@adsl-83-100-157-87.karoo.KCOM.COM] has quit [Quit: Leaving] 00:19:12 <MeusH> this is why I think gays are fucked up, and EU is fucked up 00:19:16 <Smoovious> MeusH... that's just silly too 00:19:37 <Mortomes> And it's overgeneralizing 00:19:57 <Mortomes> "Gay person X says this, therefore all gay persons say it" 00:20:06 <Smoovious> see what I mean? we're all getting way too uptight and trying to control how everyone lives their lives and tries to make people grow up a way we want instead of how they want etc... and it just keeps getting worse and worse, and the more crap we make illegal, the more ciminals we end up having, and it is just silly 00:20:43 <MeusH> or the other thing: tolerance. Once upon a time, tolerance meant neutrality towards other group. I could just ignore them. And that was tolerance. However, now tolerance is forcing people to like the other group 00:20:49 <Smoovious> hell, people getting convicted of non-violent drug crimes get, on average, more time than murder! it is insane 00:20:49 <MeusH> being neutral is called homophobia 00:21:47 <Bjarni> actually I consider being gay a serious issue for the country. They tend to have higher risk of getting AIDS and other STDs (puts a heavy load on the hospitals).

(which btw, is a lousy example of polygamy, but whenever the news wants to talk about what's wrong with polygamy, they use them as the example... and the problem there isn't polygamy... it is the abuse and child rape and inbreeding and everything else... but polygamy gets blamed) 00:25:24 <Mortomes> You're implying that heterosexuals don't have one night stands? :S 00:25:26 <Smoovious> (might as well blame heterosexual marriage for domestic abuse) 00:25:36 <Bjarni> <Mortomes> You're implying that heterosexuals don't have one night stands? :S <-- no 00:25:51 <Bjarni> <Bjarni> actually I consider being gay a serious issue for the country.

I said nothing about getting married to 00:26:01 <Smoovious> well, up until the polygamy comment 00:26:22 <Mortomes> Then why do you seperate gays from "Certain groups of straight people"? 00:26:31 <Bjarni> I didn't 00:26:48 <MeusH> that's why I like liberal conservatism. Liberal means little (or none at all) welfare, and freedom in general. You can do whatever you want, provided you don't hurt anyone... and here comes conservatist part: it should be accepted by public norms and christianity. So one is not restricted by all EU laws and restrictions. A farmer can produce any amount of milk he wants (EU restricts it. EU restricts milk production for Poland more than for Germ 00:26:49 <MeusH> any). But a farmer can't rape (non christian), can't be gay (non christian), can't kill (hurts others) 00:26:58 <Smoovious> gays aren't part of "Certain groups of straight people" to begin with... how can you seperate them from them? 00:26:59 <Bjarni> we could also call them "people with problematic morale" if you like 00:27:18 <MeusH> Smoovious, it's gays who separate themselves 00:27:26 <Mortomes> You mean "People with a morale that differs from mine"? 00:27:42 <Naksu> cool, thoughtcrime 00:27:43 <Bjarni> but it's a well known fact that the % of gay people that has a poor morale is much greater than the % of strait people with poor morale 00:27:44 <MeusH> I would have not problems with them if they didn't force me to like them (aka today's tolerance) 00:28:23 *** BobingAbout [~BobingAbo@adsl-83-100-180-33.karoo.KCOM.COM] has joined #openttd 00:28:28 *** BobingAbout [~BobingAbo@adsl-83-100-180-33.karoo.KCOM.COM] has quit [] 00:28:32 <MeusH> but they force me to like them and their disgusting gay sex. and I don't like to be forced to do sth 00:29:00 <Mortomes> MeusH: Believe it or not, the avarage gay person won't force you to like their gay sex. 00:29:04 <Mortomes> *average 00:29:14 <Smoovious> Bjami... and that is hardly suprising... if you're part of a group that gets trodden down, is a target for violence, and has the blame thrown at you for aids etc, as well as all the other crap that heteros do to harm gays, simply because who they're attracted to, your morale would be piss poor too 00:29:15 <Bjarni> When the doctors learned how AIDS spreads, they started mapping who people had been with.

When children becomes a certain age, they start to get interested in the opposite sex. It always appears to be tricky to speak to "one of them". Now gay people in the media tells the children that if it's not easy for them, then it's because they are gay so they try to convince strait young people that they are gay 00:44:02 <MeusH> Sacro, sure :D 00:44:08 <MeusH> but that would be a crime :( 00:44:14 <Sacro> MeusH: lets face it, darwin wins 00:44:20 <Sacro> they aint procreating 00:44:21 <MeusH> yup 00:44:26 <MeusH> they spread diseases 00:44:30 <MeusH> deseases* 00:44:31 <Mortomes> Bjarni: Funny how I never had a problem with that, despite my father "coming out of the closet" when I was 11. 00:44:55 <MeusH> Mortomes, we don't have people on festivals blocking streets 00:45:32 <Eddi|zuHause3> MeusH: i have never encountered this kind of people anywhere 00:45:33 <MeusH> it's like manifestation, or protestation. They insist on city councils to allow them to walk from street A to street B and manifest their views 00:45:46 <Eddi|zuHause3> it's not like i live in Köln 00:45:49 <Eddi|zuHause3> :p 00:45:52 <Smoovious> there is a school of thought... I don't have references on unfortunately... that look at homosexuality as being part of the evolutionary cycle... as population grows more than supplies can sustain it, as a means of controlling population growth... 00:45:52 <MeusH> That's just useless to me. I think they should manifest their views at home 00:45:57 <Bjarni> Mortomes: that explains your fuck up views... you are not grown enough to see flaws in your own parents.... lot's of people never reach that level 00:46:10 <Smoovious> personally, I think a lot of it is crap... but probably some truth to it in there somewhere 00:46:35 <Smoovious> either way you wanna think of it, we are quickly approaching a population crisis... 00:46:40 <Smoovious> China is already there 00:46:44 <Smoovious> who's next 00:46:50 <MeusH> Smoovious, I think that human population doesn't come to that point 00:47:10 <MeusH> People would die out of hunger first than gay themselves 00:47:15 * Sacro thinks we should start the manufacture of Soylent Green 00:47:25 <Smoovious> Mortomes... my dad never came out of the closet... lost respect for him over it... he was bi... didn't understand why he felt he should be ashamed about it 00:47:26 <Eddi|zuHause3> no Heroes... well, i kinda was expecting that... 00:47:37 <MeusH> and if there is similiar amount of women and men, despite starvation, it's no problem with being straight 00:48:17 <Bjarni> <Smoovious> Mortomes... my dad never came out of the closet... lost respect for him over it... he was bi <--- was? did he die? of AIDS? 00:48:21 <MeusH> guys, what does "to come out of the closet" mean? To have a gay sex (in closet)? 00:48:36 <Sacro> MeusH: its a term for coming out 00:48:44 <Smoovious> Bjarni... no you ignorant fuck... he died of lung cancer, due to smoking 00:48:46 <MeusH> what does mean to come out? 00:49:00 <Sacro> MeusH: to tell the world what you really are 00:49:03 <Smoovious> MeusH... when you don't keep it a secret anymore 00:49:08 <Bjarni> hey I'm nowhere ignorant 00:49:20 <Smoovious> not so much about coming out and telling everyone... but no longer pretending you weren't 00:49:24 <MeusH> thank you 00:49:50 <Mortomes> Bjarni: You're getting pretty close to offending me, quite impressive might I add. 00:50:13 <Mortomes> Eddi|zuHause3: It's on hiatus until april 23 :( 00:50:22 <Bjarni> ... 00:50:37 <Bjarni> is it offensive to state that I'm not ignorant? 00:50:46 <Eddi|zuHause3> Bjarni: that's the funny thing about ignorant people, they are too ignorant to notice they are ignorant 00:50:52 <Mortomes> <Bjarni> Mortomes: that explains your fuck up views... you are not grown enough to see flaws in your own parents.... lot's of people never reach that level 00:51:06 <Bjarni> oh that 00:51:11 <Eddi|zuHause3> so saying "i'm not ignorant" bears exactly no information 00:51:13 <Mortomes> That, and 00:51:14 <Mortomes> <Bjarni> <Smoovious> Mortomes... my dad never came out of the closet... lost respect for him over it... he was bi <--- was? did he die? of AIDS? 00:51:21 <Eddi|zuHause3> it's like "i'm not insane" 00:51:36 <Eddi|zuHause3> or "i'm not stupid" 00:51:38 * Smoovious nods agreement with Mortomes 00:52:49 <Smoovious> you picked out the fact that my dad died... and that he was bi... and right off the bat, you jump to aids... as if gay people only die of aids... gay people die of everything that straight people die of 00:53:05 <Bjarni> I didn't mean it like that 00:53:09 <Eddi|zuHause3> Smoovious: i'm not even sure if there's a startdate for that in germany at all 00:53:13 <Smoovious> not only was it ignorant, it was a grossly insensitive thing to say... so yes, that makes you an ignorant fuck. 00:53:13 <Mortomes> Yes, it's overgeneralizing and putting people in a box. 00:53:30 <Smoovious> Eddi|zuHause3: startdate? 00:53:39 <Eddi|zuHause3> Heroes 00:53:56 * Mortomes just torrents it, best piece of tv I've seen in years. 00:53:56 <Bjarni> I asked if he died and then if it were AIDS... so would that be offending if he was strait? 00:54:04 <Smoovious> oh... hehehe... sorry, jumping back and forth 00:54:27 <Eddi|zuHause3> that's what you get for having off-topic discussions ;) 00:55:14 <Smoovious> Bjarni... you didn't ask what did he die of... you asked if he died of aids... which pretty much expresses your bias... why would you ask about a hetero person, differently than a non-hetero person... if he was hetero, assuming you cared enough to ask about it at all, you would have just asked 'what did he die of?'... but since he wasn't hetero... you go right to aids... 00:55:21 <Smoovious> anbd you should be ashamed of yourself for it 00:55:40 <MeusH> he just asked a question. that's true that gays tend to dies of AIDS more frequent than the others, but that's also true that death of your father was a great loss and should not be talked about 00:55:55 <Eddi|zuHause3> usually, big series like that start around 1 year later in germany 00:56:16 <Eddi|zuHause3> but mystery series did not do well in germany since X-Files 00:56:19 <Bjarni> <--- was? did he die? of AIDS? <--- notice 3 ?. First a notice of was, then a question if he died and then a question of a possible cause 00:57:02 <Smoovious> MeusH... oh bull... the death of my "dad"... (not my father... don't even know where that worthless piece of flesh is)... was not a great loss... he was a bastard... and the news of his finally dying was a great relief to me and a weight off my shoulders 00:57:15 <Eddi|zuHause3> so the channel that shows mystery series like X-Files and Lost did not buy the rights for Heroes 00:57:28 <Smoovious> Bjarni... you don't even get it enough to understand that you don't get it... 00:57:42 <Bjarni> what's the difference between a father and a dad? 00:57:42 <ln-> that's till like asking "oh, your mother has been ill lately? is she a whore?" 00:58:03 <Smoovious> Bjarni... father is the one who spawned me... dad is the one who (tried ineptly) to raise me 00:58:18 <Mortomes> biological vs the one who raised yo... what Smoovious said :) 00:58:24 <Smoovious> father is genetic... dad/pop is relational 00:58:57 <Bjarni> <ln-> that's till like asking "oh, your mother has been ill lately? is she a whore?" <-- point well taken 00:58:58 <Bjarni> sorry 00:58:59 <Smoovious> it is just that the majority of people don't make the distinction since they don't need to... and don't really understand on a personal level, they aren't interchangeable for everyone 00:59:18 <MeusH> according to new EU laws, Smoovious is homophobic. He should say "guardian" instead 00:59:30 <Bjarni> good point 00:59:41 <Smoovious> oh no... my guardian was a great dude... I still hang out with him sometimes 00:59:43 <Mortomes> Good thing he's not a euro then :) 00:59:59 <Bjarni> like that would make it better? 01:00:17 <Eddi|zuHause3> baby's first words have been "mama" and "papa" for at least 10 thousand years 01:00:19 <Bjarni> I mean not being European 01:00:45 <Bjarni> where is it written that we are not allowed to use mom and dad anymore? 01:00:48 <MeusH> goodnight 01:00:50 <MeusH> cya later :) 01:00:52 *** MeusH [~MeusH@host-ip195-138.crowley.pl] has quit [Quit: bye - quit] 01:00:59 <Bjarni> do anybody have official sources of this? 01:01:00 <Smoovious> can't believe I'm watching deal or no deal... 01:01:03 <Mortomes> No, the not being euro thing was just a joke ;) 01:01:17 * Mortomes attempts to lighten up the conversation. 01:01:37 <Bjarni> good news: it can only go in one direction from here 01:02:07 <Eddi|zuHause3> ? 01:02:11 <Mortomes> Smoovious: Don't do it. 01:02:11 <Smoovious> and all this because of a bash.org quote 01:02:36 <Smoovious> speaking of which... http://bash.org/?36471 01:02:49 <Mortomes> hehe 01:02:51 <Eddi|zuHause3> Bjarni: general rule, if you think it cannot get any worse, it can 01:02:53 <Bjarni> <Smoovious> can't believe I'm watching deal or no deal... <-- you know there is an off switch on your TV, right? 01:03:16 <Bjarni> Eddi|zuHause3: yeah.... IRC never fails to make odd people appear out of nowhere 01:03:54 <Smoovious> Bjarni... no there isn't... it is one of those models that only work with the remote... 01:04:13 <Mortomes> Try the one on the remote then ;) 01:04:37 <Bjarni> unplug it from the wall 01:04:41 <Bjarni> hmm 01:04:43 <Eddi|zuHause3> i'd yank the power cable 01:04:49 <Smoovious> Mortomes... but then I'd have to reach for it... and there isn't anything else on right now worth the effort... easier to just tune it out... 01:04:59 <Smoovious> at least there are a lot of femmes in nice dresses to look at 01:05:07 <Bjarni> but then you will support Bush's great plan for conserving energy 01:05:23 <Bjarni> but I guess Al Gore wants you to conserve energy as well 01:05:23 <Smoovious> I do my part... I never turn on the lights 01:05:41 <Mortomes> And increasing general timezone confusion for a good 2 weeks! 01:05:41 <Smoovious> hardly use the furnace either... the 3 computers keeps the room bright and warm enough for me 01:06:00 <Smoovious> 3... 01:06:07 <Smoovious> in the fall, it'll be 1 01:06:15 <Bjarni> ... 01:06:16 <Mortomes> And that's when the cold comes! 01:06:33 <Bjarni> do you really need 3 computers? 01:07:00 <Smoovious> well, if we're talking need, I don't need any of them... don't need the tv either... 01:07:16 <Mortomes> I hope he doesn't need them after fall. 01:07:24 <Eddi|zuHause3> then burn them! 01:07:43 <Eddi|zuHause3> frees a good deal of energy ;) 01:07:53 <Smoovious> one of them I use as the mail/print/file server for the LAN... mom has her computer downstairs, I got 2 others up here... the server doesn't have a keyboard or monitor on it... 01:08:32 <Smoovious> burn them? you know how many toxins it would release into the atmosphere to just burn a computer? jeez... haven't you heard of recycling? 01:08:56 <Bjarni> it's nice to be able to turn off your TV 01:09:03 <Bjarni> my TV burned :( 01:09:10 <Smoovious> speaking of releasing toxins into the atmosphere, I need a smoke... brb 01:09:14 <Bjarni> then I have been without a TV ever since 01:09:26 * Mortomes gives Smoovious a pack of lung cancer. 01:09:41 <Bjarni> well, did the TV watching on the computer. A tuner is way cheaper than a TV 01:11:16 <Eddi|zuHause3> i do that without burning down a tv first 01:12:18 <Bjarni> I was considering switching to a tuner at the same time as we started getting a DVB signal... after like a week of wondering, the TV decided for me 01:12:42 <Eddi|zuHause3> well, that was before i learned how i can get all interesting TV shows, without commercials, in original language, one year earlier 01:12:51 <Mortomes> It's scary when your electronic equipment makes your decisions for you. 01:13:08 * Smoovious returneth 01:13:09 <Mortomes> Hehe Eddi|zuHause3, dubbed television sucks :S 01:13:38 <Smoovious> * Mortomes gives Smoovious a pack of lung cancer. <--- just doing my part to ease the overpopulation problem 01:13:48 <Mortomes> Excellent :) 01:14:35 <Eddi|zuHause3> both insurance companies as well as taxes would take a really huge hit if suddenly all people stopped smoking 01:15:15 <Smoovious> yeah... Michigan has a /pack tax on cigarettes, and there's talk about raising them again... we already pay the 2nd highest cig tax in the country... 01:15:30 <Eddi|zuHause3> the retirement system has already huge problems because of "overaging" of people 01:15:49 <Smoovious> state government is disproportionately taxing the minority groups when it is the entire state that should be compensating 01:15:59 * Smoovious nods to Eddi|zuHause3 01:16:32 <Bjarni> is not enough 01:16:41 <Eddi|zuHause3> so if all people stopped smoking, and thus paying less taxes, they will live on average like 7 years longer, recieve more out of retirement funds, and require more medical assistence 01:16:42 <Bjarni> would be an interesting experiment 01:16:48 *** HMage [~HMage@85.21.179.41] has quit [Quit: HMage] 01:16:53 <Digitalfox> Here in Portugal are major telecomunications ISP ( Portugal Telecom ) is starting tests for IPTV (Triple Play = TV + Phone + Net ) and 100Mbps VDSL2.. Any people here with IPTV or 100Mbps? 01:16:57 <Smoovious> social security was fine back when it was started, and they had so many people working to support so few retirees... but now all those boomers are retirees, with a higher life expectancy... going to crush the economy 01:17:30 <Bjarni> <Eddi|zuHause3> so if all people stopped smoking, and thus paying less taxes, they will live on average like 7 years longer, recieve more out of retirement funds, and require more medical assistence <--- are you sure about the last one. Smokers are really expensive on the hospitals 01:17:33 * Smoovious just completely ignores Bjarni's comment 01:18:14 <Smoovious> smokers also pay more in insurance and other related costs too... 01:18:21 <Eddi|zuHause3> well, never trust a statistic you did not manipulate yourself :p 01:18:33 <Smoovious> you're not going to make everything in life balance evenly... no matter how hard you try 01:18:45 <Smoovious> there is always going to be some group using more, and some using less... 01:19:47 <Bjarni> <Smoovious> smokers also pay more in insurance and other related costs too... <--- here the system is based on tax money, not insurance so smokers with really low income will still be treated, but then the rest of us pays for it 01:20:13 <Smoovious> everyone should receive basic treatment... 01:20:13 <Bjarni> well, the same goes for smokers with high income, but then they paid more tax 01:20:28 <Eddi|zuHause3> the green party here once mentioned something about 5DM/liter fuel, that was like 1 week before the election, they immediately lost like half of their voters ;) 01:21:01 <Eddi|zuHause3> (prices were around 1,50DM/liter, i think) 01:21:19 <Eddi|zuHause3> now they are 1,50EUR ;) 01:21:23 <Smoovious> hell, the health care system would actually save money in the long term if it paid for regular checkups (one reimbursed per year), than if it only paid for emergency care... you have to be bad enough for the gov't to cover it... and by then, the costs of treating it are through the roof, compared to being able to prevent it, or tackle it early 01:21:26 <Bjarni> <Smoovious> everyone should receive basic treatment... <-- I didn't say anything about basic treatment. Everything here is paid by tax money and you can't get insurance because the hospitals will not give you anything better because you want to play 01:21:28 <Smoovious> makes no sense 01:21:41 <Eddi|zuHause3> that's around 3DM 01:21:48 <Bjarni> but everything come at a price. We have the highest tax level in the world :( 01:22:09 <Bjarni> the income tax is up to 68% (depending on how much you earn) 01:22:16 <Bjarni> vat is 25% for everything 01:22:47 *** KritiK [Maxim@ppp83-237-103-114.pppoe.mtu-net.ru] has quit [Quit: Leaving] 01:22:59 <Eddi|zuHause3> i think in germany everyone is forced to have medical insurance 01:23:12 <Mortomes> Same here Eddi|zuHause3 01:23:16 <Mortomes> (Netherlands) 01:23:19 <Eddi|zuHause3> but if you are unemployed, the state pays for it 01:23:20 <Smoovious> yeah, that high a rate is just crushing your economy... a lower tax rate would leave more for people to spend,,, moving money around faster, generating more taxes, and more revenue, and bring in more money overall 01:23:51 <Bjarni> <Eddi|zuHause3> the green party here once mentioned something about 5DM/liter fuel <-- I remember that. It's an interesting idea 01:24:04 <Eddi|zuHause3> that's a really unproven statement, Smoovious 01:24:08 <Bjarni> would clear the roads for hummers and similar cars that uses way too much fuel 01:25:08 <Eddi|zuHause3> well, i would be totally for it, if in return cars that use much less fuel would get much less expensive 01:25:11 <Smoovious> Eddi|zuHause3... not really unproven... currency only has value when it is spent... a dollar sitting in a jar for a year, has no spending power... but that same dollar changing hands 100 times during the year, has a spending power of 0... and the tax off of each transaction accumulates 01:26:28 <Eddi|zuHause3> anyway, i don't buy that argument 01:26:37 <Eddi|zuHause3> it's not about how much tax you pay 01:26:42 <Eddi|zuHause3> but about how that tax is used 01:27:03 <Smoovious> the more money taken out of a person's hand, means that person has less to spend... won't spend as much, won't generate as much sales tax, and probably won't buy a lot of the things they'd otherwise buy... it has a cumulative effect, and ends up slowing down the economy 01:27:05 <Bjarni> it's not way off. Giving more money to the population will make them spend more, but it's not always a good thing 01:27:57 <Rubidium> ofcourse what Europeans spend in VAT Americans spend in interest ;) 01:28:05 <Eddi|zuHause3> no, Smoovious, that tax money is not "lost" to the system, the tax money is also spent somewhere, and that means somebody earns it 01:28:13 <Eddi|zuHause3> who then has money to spend 01:28:18 <Bjarni> like here right now. Our economical boom mean that it's tricky to hire enough people. Even though the state can afford to lower the taxes, they decide not to because it would really hurt the economy to give people more money right now 01:28:32 <Smoovious> if people aren't spending/buying as much, you have less money going to the companies that employ people, and so they can't support as many employees as they otherwise could... which ends up bringing in less in income tax... and less people employed, means less people able to contribute to the economy, and it just keeps going on that cycle until something breaks 01:28:42 <Bjarni> instead they pay off their depts (which is always a good thing to do... saves interests) 01:28:50 <Eddi|zuHause3> like around my city 01:29:01 <Eddi|zuHause3> the university (which is mostly tax-payed) 01:29:07 <Eddi|zuHause3> is the biggest employer 01:29:14 <Smoovious> Eddi|zuHause3... it isn't about the quantity of money... as much as the movement of money... the faster the money moves, the more the gov't takes in on the rake... er, the tax 01:29:21 <Bjarni> if people spend more, they will also spend more on imported goods, which is never good 01:30:04 <Eddi|zuHause3> germany has a big problem with tourism 01:30:17 <Eddi|zuHause3> because most people go to italy, or mallorca, or wherever 01:30:26 <Eddi|zuHause3> and hardly any come into germany 01:30:29 <Bjarni> Smoovious: yeah I get that part, but if people move around money faster, the odds for more of the money will leave the country will increase 01:30:46 <Smoovious> think of the gov't as a casino... the casino makes more money, the faster people are gambling... they don't rely on individual wins or losses... but the long term odds... 01:30:47 <Bjarni> Eddi|zuHause3: why should I go to Germany? 01:30:51 <Eddi|zuHause3> so all germans that go to southern countries spend all their hard earned money there 01:31:03 <Eddi|zuHause3> and not much money is kept in germany 01:31:10 <Smoovious> Bjarni... international trade is a different issue 01:31:11 <Bjarni> <Smoovious> think of the gov't as a casino <-- US way of thinking 01:32:10 <Bjarni> <Smoovious> Bjarni... international trade is a different issue <-- no because if you lower the tax, people will get more money and then they will start to spend it and they will buy more stuff like cars, electronics and other imported goods 01:32:25 <Bjarni> so you can't take those two issues apart like they are unrelated 01:32:40 <Eddi|zuHause3> Smoovious: again, tax money is also spent, and thus also gets spent more often, it also does its circles, it just circles around other routes 01:32:44 <Smoovious> that is still a different issue... if you don't want imported goods, don't make a trade agreement with the other country 01:32:47 <Bjarni> Eddi|zuHause3: why should I take a vacation in Germany? 01:32:55 <Eddi|zuHause3> Bjarni: i have no idea 01:32:59 <Bjarni> see 01:33:02 <Bjarni> :p 01:33:13 <Smoovious> but if you're going to have trade with another country, you're just going to have to accept the consequence of that... trade with another country... 01:33:54 <Smoovious> Eddi|zuHause3... the difference in the routes is the routes through the government don't generate the taxes they would otherwise... 01:33:56 <Bjarni> it's not like we don't want imported goods. The issue is when a country increases imports significantly without increasing exports. 01:34:07 <Smoovious> gov't employees don't pay the same taxes... for one 01:34:13 <Bjarni> that's bad for business 01:34:35 <Eddi|zuHause3> Smoovious: it's all about the old discussion "free market" [US] vs. "social market" [EU] 01:34:44 *** PandaMojo [~chatzilla@ip72-197-231-130.sd.sd.cox.net] has quit [Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.74 [Firefox 1.5.0.10/2007021601]] 01:34:50 <Smoovious> Bjarni... you can't force the other country to buy the crap you're producing... if you wanna sell more, make a better product 01:34:51 <Rubidium> ofcourse getting paid much less because the gov't doesn't get much money means that gov't employees have to spend less 01:34:52 <Eddi|zuHause3> each has their very own advantages and disadvantages 01:35:04 <Smoovious> Eddi|zuHause3... no disagreement there... 01:35:34 <Smoovious> Eddi|zuHause3... neither is necessarily better than the other... contrary to what our politicos and businessmen would have us believe 01:35:45 <Bjarni> I'm telling you: US considers this in the White House as well. Odds are that they do not talk as loudly about it as we do in Europe, but they want to export as much as possible and import as little as possible... that's how it works for all countries 01:35:57 <Eddi|zuHause3> and being a very socialistic influenced person, i like the "social market" version better 01:36:05 <Smoovious> Bjarni... oh it is just as loud... it is no secret 01:36:15 <Bjarni> ok 01:36:22 <Smoovious> Bjarni... the trade deficit is a frequently discussed topic 01:36:28 <Smoovious> especially, with China 01:37:14 <Bjarni> EU put an import tax on Chinese stuff... now that's a really bad idea to do that overnight 01:37:39 <Eddi|zuHause3> i remember there being an issue about import limits on textiles 01:38:25 <Smoovious> we should raise tarriffs on China as well... at LEAST until China starts playing by the same rules... they have very tight controls on imports, yet have no problem exporting to the hilt 01:38:25 <Bjarni> Northern Europe specialised in designing quality stuff and then make Chinese people to produce it because people will not pay the price needed to pay local people to produce it so it's hurting the economy here 01:38:54 <Smoovious> hell, we can't even send them back tons of their empty shipping containers... they don't think it worth the transport costs to ship back the empty containers so they just get abandoned here 01:39:16 <Bjarni> then EU told us to just buy our stuff in southern EU... but they aren't producing what we want (neither quality or price) 01:39:41 <Smoovious> and then there is the whole outsourcing crap going on here... 01:39:42 <Eddi|zuHause3> that's so funny, for that huge dam they build in china, they need like 20 turbines to generate current, so they buy 5 turbines from germany, and then rebuild the other 15 from those models ;p 01:39:58 <Bjarni> <Smoovious> hell, we can't even send them back tons of their empty shipping containers... they don't think it worth the transport costs to ship back the empty containers so they just get abandoned here <--- then take them and use them on the railroads and stuff 01:40:21 * Smoovious blinks. 01:40:22 <Bjarni> reduces the costs for replacing worn out containers 01:40:24 <Smoovious> use them for what? 01:40:34 <Bjarni> transporting stuff 01:40:35 <Smoovious> they aren't our property 01:40:41 <Mortomes> They still have railroads in the US?! :P 01:40:48 <Smoovious> and stuff being transported in containers, are already in containers 01:41:12 <Bjarni> Mortomes: yes... they move 40% of their land freight transport on rails... way more than EU 01:41:17 <Smoovious> from time to time, the abandoned containers are declared abandoned and sold at auction to junkyards for recycling 01:41:43 <Smoovious> tho I think there were a couple guys who were assembling them and turning them into cheap housing... they did a good job too... looked kinda cool 01:41:43 <Eddi|zuHause3> yes, and EU has huge problems because most freight is transported on roads 01:41:59 <Bjarni> you could make a law about abandoned containers so you can lawfully claim ownership 01:42:02 <Smoovious> Bjarni... well, we got longer distances to cover... 01:42:12 <Smoovious> don't need a seperate law 01:42:19 <Bjarni> it's not a distance issue 01:42:23 <Smoovious> it just takes time 01:42:25 <Smoovious> it is here 01:42:28 <Bjarni> it's a fucked up policy issue 01:42:32 <Smoovious> nope 01:42:48 <Eddi|zuHause3> he means our policy ;) 01:42:57 <glx> trucks transport stuff from estonia to spain 01:43:05 <Smoovious> we still transport a significant portion of are cargo on rails because the # of trucks it would take is just rediculous on many levels 01:43:11 <Smoovious> oh ok 01:44:03 <Eddi|zuHause3> all attempts to get more cargo on rails have basically failed 01:44:10 * Smoovious nods. 01:44:19 <Bjarni> like if you want to move freight to this area, you need to either use a lorry all the way or move move the freight into the middle of a city and then move it to a lorry so it can drive to the destination outside of the city 01:44:29 <Eddi|zuHause3> they even tried transporting trucks on trains 01:45:03 <Smoovious> but on the bright side... your passenger rail is right up there, while ours is deplorable... hopefully tho it'll pick up again since the airports are getting so crowded... and who wants to keep showing up 2-3 hours early at the airport for a flight 01:45:08 <Bjarni> they even tried transporting rail wagons on trucks to make the railroad able to move the cargo directly to the customer... that didn't work either 01:45:44 <Smoovious> we do road-railers too... 01:45:50 <Eddi|zuHause3> Smoovious: but THAT is (partly) a distance issue 01:46:13 <Smoovious> at one point, they tried to make dual-use trailers that could hook up both to a semi-tractor and a train... but that didn't last very long 01:46:19 <Eddi|zuHause3> i would not want to go from new york to los angeles by train 01:46:28 <Smoovious> container freight just took off 01:46:47 <Bjarni> I like how the Swedes managed to get the rail network to work between Stockholm and Göteborg.... after they started using bullettrains, they can battle the airlines on both time and price 01:46:56 <Eddi|zuHause3> well, i would also not take the transsibirian railway... 01:47:26 <Bjarni> I know two guys, who did that 01:47:32 <Bjarni> as a vacation 01:47:43 <Bjarni> and then they took a plane to get home afterwards 01:47:44 <Smoovious> Eddi|zuHause3... partly distance, true... partly the state of the tracks as well... a lot of people flying, are going on short flights... like, going from here to Chicago is a 45-min flight... but you figure in the 2-3 hour wait time ahead of time... plus the good chance your flight will cancel for weather or be late... had you taken the train, you could 01:47:49 <Smoovious> have arrived at the same time 01:48:29 <Eddi|zuHause3> where is "here"? 01:49:03 <Smoovious> most of the track in the use is only rated for 75mph, tops... passenger or freight... there is a high-speed corridor in the northeast part of the country... I think they get around 200mph 01:49:07 <Smoovious> <-- Mighigan 01:49:34 <Smoovious> -g+c 01:49:57 <Mortomes> You type on a dvorak keyboard? :) 01:50:21 <Smoovious> nope... qwerty 01:50:38 <Mortomes> Never mind :) 01:50:40 <Eddi|zuHause3> hm, that still not give me an idea how far it is between "here" and "chicago" 01:50:43 <Smoovious> the C didn't take, and I hit both G and H at the same time 01:50:50 <Smoovious> Grand Rapids, MI 01:51:04 <Mortomes> Ah, C and G are right next to each other on dvorak. 01:51:05 <Smoovious> look on the map roughly where I-96 and I-196 meet up 01:51:18 <Eddi|zuHause3> it's not like i recognise any of these names :p 01:51:49 <Smoovious> ok, well, it is around a 4 hour drive in good traffic...

13:24:38 <Patrick> unless you have pages and pages of debugging information which you want to paste (please don't) then just ask in here 13:25:14 <VoidDragon> Well, when I start OpenTTD, all I get is a white box and my system fan reving up for cooling 13:25:22 <VoidDragon> it doesn't do anything else 13:25:42 <VoidDragon> It had worked earlier, so I tryied reinstalling; then uninstall-reinstall, and just now the nightly 13:25:48 <VoidDragon> and still no luck 13:26:07 <Eddi|zuHause2> what OS are you using?

13:29:09 <SDK1985> even though max competitors is higher then current competitors 13:29:16 <Eddi|zuHause2> there's a help screen somewhere ;) 13:29:34 <Patrick> VoidDragon: uuh, just launch it from the commandline 13:29:38 <Patrick> and see what happens 13:29:52 <VoidDragon> I want to note that the problem started happening when I tried adding some NewGRFs to the data directory (specifically when copying the 2-color grf required by UKRS) but continued to occur when I removed the files (before I uninstalled/reinstalled) 13:29:56 <VoidDragon> moment.. 13:30:17 <Patrick> when you uninstalled, did you then manually remove the folder it was installed to? 13:30:23 <Patrick> the automatic uninstaller wouldn't do that 13:31:21 <VoidDragon> Ok; let me copy the savegames & try the un/reisntall once more 13:31:28 <Eddi|zuHause2> btw, OpenTTD supports 2cc internally, it does not need the newgrf for that 13:31:33 <Patrick> and the data files 13:32:13 <Eddi|zuHause2> but please, try and start the game from the command line 13:32:16 <VoidDragon> Ah; It is unfortunate that the UKRS/NARS downloading pages don't note that 13:32:53 <Patrick> the commandline launcher is much faster and will help us more 13:32:59 <Patrick> if you don't actually know what the commandline is, just say 13:33:07 <Patrick> you can't appear any more foolish 13:33:20 <VoidDragon> I know how to run cmd 13:33:24 <Eddi|zuHause2> yes, because most newgrfs are designed for TTDPatch, that OpenTTD supports them is pure luxus ;) 13:33:26 <VoidDragon> no change though 13:33:43 <Patrick> no messages printed out? 13:33:47 <VoidDragon> still the white screen 13:33:58 <Patrick> what about on the commandline? 13:34:05 <VoidDragon> no printout; it just went back to the prompt 13:34:18 <Eddi|zuHause2> try "openttd -d 1" 13:35:05 <VoidDragon> hmm.. trg1r.grf file corrupt at top; dbg stops at scanning for NewGRFs 13:35:28 <Patrick> yes, so move that file away and then try it again to see what happens 13:35:46 <VoidDragon> isn't that one of the core files? 13:35:57 <Patrick> I don't actually know 13:36:07 <Patrick> but that's what I'd do if I was in your position 13:36:10 <Eddi|zuHause2> trg1r.grf is a file from the original game 13:36:22 <Patrick> ok, listen to eddi 13:37:05 <Eddi|zuHause2> can you copy-paste that debug output to some nopaste service of your choice? 13:37:08 * VoidDragon only added NewGRFs in a subdirectory in the data 13:38:14 <VoidDragon> I'm not certain on what you mean by nopaste, but I could do line-by-line; nothing else seems out of the ordinary, and I could try copying over an older trg1r if you think that may work? 13:38:38 <Patrick> he means using an online service like pastebin.org 13:38:48 <Patrick> where you put in some text and it gives you a link to share to us so we can see it 13:38:54 <Patrick> without putting 500 debug lines in here 13:38:56 <VoidDragon> Ah 13:39:24 <VoidDragon> the debug output from the command prompt provided? or from Windows when closing the process? 13:39:45 <Eddi|zuHause2> no, the one from command line 13:39:54 <VoidDragon> oh, that's only a few lines 13:40:18 <VoidDragon> not even 10, in fact 13:40:36 <Eddi|zuHause2> everything more than 2 should not be pasted into a channel 13:41:00 * VoidDragon nods 13:41:33 <VoidDragon> pastebin.org does .. not appear to be a valid site 13:42:39 <Patrick> well, dot com 13:42:48 <Patrick> I don't actually know where specific ones are 13:43:04 <Eddi|zuHause2> i usually use http://nopaste.php-q.net/ 13:44:16 * VoidDragon has never used anysuch service in recollection, thus was unaware of what to use 13:44:27 <VoidDragon> waiting on URL 13:44:31 <Patrick> pastebin.com was what I remembered 13:44:37 <Patrick> there's also deadbeefbabe (google it) 13:44:46 <Belugas> hello 13:46:15 <VoidDragon> I hate satellite; pastebin timed out; the php-q seems to be faster.. lets see 13:46:30 <Patrick> satellite internet, dear me 13:46:40 <Patrick> a ping of 1.86 seconds ... 13:46:42 <VoidDragon> yeah, I know 13:46:49 <VoidDragon> http://nopaste.php-q.net/282035 13:46:56 <VoidDragon> can't even get cable TV here 13:47:11 <SpComb> pastebin.com sucks on fiber as well 13:47:52 <VoidDragon> no Cable, DSL, no FiOS; heck, no wicom 13:48:24 <Eddi|zuHause2> so, next step... try to remove all newgrfs from the data/ and any subdirectories 13:48:36 <Eddi|zuHause2> and replace your trg1r.gr 13:48:44 <Eddi|zuHause2> f 13:49:00 <VoidDragon> NewGRFs already removed 13:49:48 <Eddi|zuHause2> what does "dir data" say? 13:49:48 <VoidDragon> I assumed the installer overwrote the original GRFs but I guess it's set not to 13:51:31 <VoidDragon> I can nopaste it, but seriously, I've only had it for 2 days; I got interested in the screenshots using UKRS & downloaded them to their own subdirectory, which, again, I've removed from OpenTTD's data folder entirely 13:53:29 <Eddi|zuHause2> you could also try to get more information by strting "openttd -d grf=9 13:56:22 <peter1138> that's a bit too much 13:57:16 <VoidDragon> wtf..

19:32:51 <zeurkous> why does the damn thing keep a *GRAPHICAL* representation instead of just the array? 19:33:04 <peter1138> because it's a bodge 19:33:11 <Smoovious> because the array, defines the graphics we see on the screen 19:33:29 <zeurkous> peter1138: that's an answer where I can live with :P 19:33:33 <Smoovious> it just stops at the point of actually painting the screen 19:33:43 <zeurkous> which*, typo @ head 19:34:12 <peter1138> for hysterical raisins, the main game input loop is inside the video drivers 19:34:25 <Smoovious> zeurkous... I think you're confusing what the dedicated server works with in memory, with what gets sent to/from the clients... 19:34:31 <peter1138> so dedicated mode is handled by a dumb video driver that doesn't display anything 19:34:46 <zeurkous> peter1138: sorry if this is a rumor or something, but OpenTTD was originally disassembled from the original code, right? 19:34:58 <zeurkous> and then duplicated in C 19:35:11 <Smoovious> I think there was a seperate project that was disassembled... 19:35:29 <Smoovious> far as I know it was abandoned 19:35:41 <zeurkous> hm, okay 19:35:43 <peter1138> zeurkous: yes 19:35:52 <peter1138> hence the raisins 19:36:04 <zeurkous> because the input loop in the video drivers would conform to standard integrated raw coding practice 19:36:48 <peter1138> nobody's bothered to separate them, and they are fairly linked together. i.e. you use sdl input with the sdl video driver... 19:37:45 <Smoovious> probably was never a compelling reason to fix what might be a little unsightly, but certainly isn't broken 19:37:46 <zeurkous> this won't affect end lusers too much, but IMO this should be fixed before release 1 19:38:03 <Smoovious> fix what? 19:38:06 <zeurkous> Smoovious: no, but it hinders further progress 19:38:17 <Rubidium> zeurkous: why? 19:38:19 <zeurkous> fix as in seperate the input loop from the GUI code 19:38:21 <Rubidium> does it hinder? 19:38:29 <Smoovious> what for? 19:38:57 <zeurkous> we've already discussed that -- the network code 19:39:05 <zeurkous> or rather, the dedicated server cod 19:39:06 <zeurkous> +e 19:39:17 <Smoovious> ... 19:39:54 <Smoovious> what's hindered about it? 19:39:57 <zeurkous> besides, who knows if someone might want to use seperate I/O libraries for control and video? 19:40:23 <Rubidium> the network code has nothing to do with the dedicated server (period) 19:40:29 * Smoovious slowly wipes his hand over his face a moment. 19:40:38 <zeurkous> Rubidium: I shouldn't be so sure of that 19:40:47 <zeurkous> a server wouldn't be of much use w/o a network 19:40:54 <Smoovious> why should you?

19:42:21 <Smoovious> optimize it? better to keep it where it is then 19:42:33 <zeurkous> and making code pretty also improves future extensibility 19:43:00 <Rubidium> zeurkous: you are making all kind of statements about the network code that are completely false and some statements that might apply to the dedicated 'server' but most certainly not the network code 19:43:23 *** setrodox [~setrodox@83-65-235-123.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has quit [Quit: Hapiness ;D] 19:43:24 <zeurkous> Rubidium: I'm not talking about the network code anymore, per the explanation of peter1138 19:43:30 <Smoovious> I think he's just trying to show off what his C classes are trying to teach him... without real-world application experience 19:43:49 <zeurkous> rofl C :R 19:43:54 <zeurkous> and classes?

22:24:06 <Smoovious> there was a FOR loop that checked every message unnecessarily... and there was no reason to go through the whole thing, every single time, when it'll go through it once a game-day anyways 22:24:25 <Smoovious> anyways, works just fine, and looks good to me 22:26:25 <Smoovious> the oldest message will always be the 0 message... and if that gets expired, the next one will be checked on the next loop and so on... the for loop seemed like overkill, especially since all the messages will be expiring in the same time frame 22:26:36 <Smoovious> you'll never have a middle message expire before the top one 22:27:20 <Rubidium> the last might be true, but you could have all messages expiring at the same time 22:27:51 <Wolf01> night 22:27:55 <Rubidium> and now it's going to take 2 seconds for the next message is going to disappear 22:28:04 <Smoovious> perhaps... but they will gradually expire anyways... instead of looping through all 24 entryes, every single game day 22:28:05 *** Wolf01 [~wolf01@host48-235-dynamic.9-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has quit [] 22:28:18 <Smoovious> and that's a problem?
