[00:00]<zzvd>so that even when it's appended to an exe it's still a zip file
[00:00]<pzycot>a lot of setup apps use such methodes; Nero use WinRAR sfx, Firefox/Thunderbird 7zip sfx, etc.
[00:09]<cxzysvjlx_vw>RosBuild: commands
[00:09]<rjsbuyfm>buildbot commands: commands, dance, destroy, excited, force, hello, help, last, list, source, status, stop, version, watch

[00:12]<bynnnx>whats the definition of 1 fluid ounce?
[00:12]<afgw_ijggsau>29.5mL
[00:12]<afgw_ijggsau>afaik
[00:13]<afgw_ijggsau>by "definition", 2 table spoons
[00:13]<afgw_ijggsau>or 6 teaspoons
[00:13]<cjvyvy>Wait a minute...
[00:13]<afgw_ijggsau>1 ounce is 480 grains
[00:13]<cjvyvy>Has anyone WHOIS'd h-a-l-9000?
[00:13]<afgw_ijggsau>1 fluid ounce is 2 table spoons
[00:13]<afgw_ijggsau>gotta love imperial measurements
[00:14]<bynnnx>im tring to figure out what 85 gallons of water weighs
[00:14]<afgw_ijggsau>85 * 3.78 kg
[00:14]<bynnnx>ehh?
[00:14]<bynnnx>ohh
[00:14]<bynnnx>1 gallon of water weighs 3.78 kg?
[00:14]<afgw_ijggsau>yup
[00:14]<cjvyvy>Umm
[00:14]<zzvd>coviti: he was programmed by Dr Chandra at HAL communcations corporation
[00:14]<cjvyvy>You sure?
[00:14]<afgw_ijggsau>US gallon or Imperial Gallon?
[00:15]<bynnnx>us
[00:15]<afgw_ijggsau>yeah 3.78
[00:15]<cjvyvy>arty, just wondering because my dad's computer is named hal9000
[00:15]<cjvyvy>Scary thought
[00:15]<cjvyvy>lol
[00:15]<bynnnx>working out how much this fish tank of my mates is gonna weigh when full
[00:15]<bynnnx>708 lbs
[00:15]<afgw_ijggsau>Coviti: I think you need to find out what HAL 9000 is..
[00:15]<afgw_ijggsau>that would explain it
[00:15]<afgw_ijggsau>it's a reference to a work of popular culture
[00:15]<afgw_ijggsau>called "2001: A space Oddyssey"
[00:16]<bynnnx>HAL9000 works its way in everywhere
[00:16]<cjvyvy>I know what it is
[00:16]<cjvyvy>I've seen the movie
[00:16]<afgw_ijggsau>[17:12] <@arty> coviti: he was programmed by Dr Chandra at HAL communcations corporation
[00:16]<afgw_ijggsau>[17:12] <Coviti> You sure?
[00:16]<cjvyvy>Just a scary thought
[00:16]<afgw_ijggsau>ok sorry :)
[00:16]<afgw_ijggsau>it's just a very popular nickname to use
[00:16]<afgw_ijggsau>or machine name
[00:16]<afgw_ijggsau>there is a hal9000 in the NT tree too afaik
[00:16]<cjvyvy>the "You sure?" was in response to the 3.78 kg thing
[00:16]<cjvyvy>I thought it was 3.78 mL
[00:17]<cjvyvy>Not kg
[00:17]<afgw_ijggsau>Coviti: if you think a gallon is 3.78mL, you need to go back to 3rd grade school
[00:17]<cjvyvy>No, read milk cartons ;)
[00:17]<afgw_ijggsau>3.78mL is how much a spit has
[00:17]<afgw_ijggsau>so when you buy 20 gallons of fuel for the car, do you think it means the car runs on the equivalent of 20 spitfuls of fuel?
[00:18]<cjvyvy>Oh lol L
[00:18]<afgw_ijggsau>what's the density of water?
[00:18]<zzvd>1g/cl ?
[00:19]<cjvyvy>L != mL
[00:19]<cjvyvy>Made a mistake
[00:19]<afgw_ijggsau>Coviti: ok, but u still think 3.78L != 3.78kg
[00:19]<afgw_ijggsau>so what's the density of water Coviti?
[00:19]<afgw_ijggsau>1kg/L
[00:19]<afgw_ijggsau>3.78 L * 1kg
[00:19]<afgw_ijggsau> = 3.78kg
[00:19]<cjvyvy>Dude, I'm used to the Imperial system
[00:20]<cjvyvy>I don't remember all the Metric relationships
[00:20]<cjvyvy>lol
[00:20]<afgw_ijggsau>i've always found that strange
[00:20]<bnrnyfyrg_jjn>Why don't you use an acepted worldwide standard like rods to the hogshead to measure fuel consumption?
[00:20]<afgw_ijggsau>americans (imperials) don't understand a very simple decimal system (metric)
[00:20]<cjvyvy>Because nothing in America is metric
[00:20]<afgw_ijggsau>yet all the people in canada (metric) I know
[00:20]<afgw_ijggsau>perfectly understand teh messed up american (imperial) system
[00:20]<cjvyvy>Alex_Ionescu, we just get very little practice
[00:21]<cjvyvy>Nobody cares
[00:21]<cjvyvy>to learn
[00:21]<bnrnyfyrg_jjn>btw, I prefer my coffee with 3 barn-megaparsecs of sugar, thanks
[00:21]<cjvyvy>or teach it
[00:21]<zzvd>it's because we force everybody else to learn
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>ya, I'm guessint learning that 10*10 = 100 is hard
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>and 100*10 = 1000
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>and omfg
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>1000/1000 = 1.
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>using math like
[00:21]<cjvyvy>No, that's easy
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>16*8/12
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>makes SOOO much more sense
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>and btw, bullshit, you use the metric system DAILY
[00:21]<cjvyvy>We just don't learn all the relationships like we should
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>unless your downloads are in MegaOunces
[00:21]<afgw_ijggsau>and GigaGallons
[00:21]<zzvd>most people are thinking about sex when they get around to teaching things like metric units and density in us schools
[00:22]<cjvyvy>On the computer yes, but I don't deal with weight/volume in my downloads
[00:22]<wzwdzzrjg>lol
[00:22]<zzvd>by that time you can't learn anything until you become a college student
[00:22]<afgw_ijggsau>they know that 1000B = 1KB
[00:22]<afgw_ijggsau>and they understand it
[00:22]<wzwdzzrjg>Topic: Imperial v. Metric [Check]
[00:22]<wzwdzzrjg>BINGO!
