00:46:42 <_42_> Eddi|zuHause2, Darkvater? hmm... I'm trying to remember... maybe... I'm not sure... no. I don't remember Darkvater.
00:48:23 <Eddi|zuHause2> yeah, means he's incognito :p

12:07:43 <mackensen> I'm playing with the latest nightly, and my trains aren't following their "service" orders anymore
12:12:15 <mackensen> has anyone else had this problem?
12:20:16 <SmatZ> just in the latest nightly?
12:22:07 <SmatZ> ProcessTrainOrder() in case OT_GOTO_DEPOT test !VehicleNeedsService(v), where is VehicleHasDepotOrders(), where is if (order->type == OT_GOTO_DEPOT)
12:23:18 <SmatZ> simply - vehicle won't use the "service at" order, when it has any goto_depot order
12:24:11 <SmatZ> and "service at" order is kind of "goto_depot" order
12:27:49 <mackensen> I tested this in both old save games and new games
12:28:09 <mackensen> a train with nothing but waypoints and service orders (for example) never gets serviced
12:28:38 <mackensen> I'm seeing the problem in r11042 as well
12:29:31 <SmatZ> mackensen: actually, I would guess you should have this problem for longer time
12:29:53 <peter1138> i'd guess you need a real station order
12:30:07 <SmatZ> peter1138: it won't help
12:30:39 <peter1138> i never used service orders, so
12:33:46 <mackensen> it took me 1.5 game years to notice, at which point the train network had ground to a halt :(

14:33:05 <Bjarni> nice... at 12:23 I got an Email today, telling me to be at a certain location at 12:05
14:33:29 <Bjarni> and I didn't check my mail between 12:00 and now :P
14:33:29 <peter1138> THAT'S AN ORDERRRRRR
14:34:23 <Bjarni> looks like it was sent 11:47
14:34:47 <peter1138> you better get your arse into gear
14:35:00 <Bjarni> odds are that those guys already left
14:35:23 <Bjarni> besides.... I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THAT FREAKING GROUP
14:35:24 <peter1138> and they probably had a hundred grand waiting for you
14:35:32 <Bjarni> they want money from me
14:36:04 <Eddi|zuHause3> that can turn out very dangerous :p
14:36:43 <Bjarni> it's some people at uni, so it's likely that it's not as dangerous as it would be if they were from say Nigeria
14:37:10 <Bjarni> but still... they told me to show up and pay like 10 EUR for my ticket.... my ticket for what?
14:37:14 <Bjarni> I never ordered a ticket
14:37:20 <Bjarni> and I don't want a ticket
14:39:05 <MrBrrr> Gothic gathering? Vegans? Christian group? Which group is it?
14:41:08 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
14:41:13 <Bjarni> it's a group of students
14:41:26 <Bjarni> but that's about all I know about them
14:41:47 <Bjarni> well, they appears to be mat/IT students
14:42:46 <Bjarni> but those people have invited me to meetings and stuff for ages and I have still to figure out who they are :P
14:43:24 <Belugas> "I want you to want me"
14:43:31 <Belugas> "I need you to need me"
14:43:57 <MrBrrr> Maybe you're renowned?
14:44:11 *** glx is now known as glx|away
14:44:27 <Bjarni> it's more like "there is a meeting at (location) tomorrow at something and it's mandatory to show up"
14:44:46 <Bjarni> but nobody complained about the fact that I never shows up :P
14:45:36 <Bjarni> <MrBrrr> Maybe you're renowned? <--- well... I had to talk to a professor today and she said "hey, I know you"... yeah, but that was like 3 years ago we met the last time
14:46:03 <Bjarni> am I famous or something without knowing it?
14:46:43 <Bjarni> I'm famous in the OpenTTD world, but outside it???
14:46:49 <Bjarni> how did that happen? :)
14:47:34 <frosch123> Some professors know everyone, who showed up at least three times in their lecture.
14:47:39 <MrBrrr> Maybe they're all OpenTTD fans?
14:48:08 <Bjarni> I prefer to think of the last option as the real one, but I don't think it is :/
14:48:38 <Bjarni> I did see somebody at uni playing OTTD once though
14:49:18 <Bjarni> he had two stations with 3 tracks each and he had 3 tracks connecting those two stations. Each track had a depot of it's own
14:49:56 <Bjarni> when somebody asked him why he did it like that, he said "the trains will not leave the depot if they share tracks, so they have to be separated"
14:50:31 * Bjarni quickly realised that it would take ages to help this guy. Time that could be better spent
14:50:46 <frosch123> How many were watching him playing?
14:51:06 <Bjarni> 3 or 4 people.... or 100% of the people in the computer room at the time
14:51:27 <Eddi|zuHause3> i had a professor saying to me "you are a good student" :)
14:51:34 <Bjarni> it wasn't a busy moment
14:52:10 <Eddi|zuHause3> that professor had studied together with my father :)
14:52:18 <Eddi|zuHause3> MrBrrr: i have witnesses :)
14:52:23 <Bjarni> <Eddi|zuHause3> i had a professor saying to me "you are a good student" :) <-- and what did you have to do to be told that???
14:53:04 <Bjarni> I have been told stuff like that from students
14:53:47 <Eddi|zuHause3> i'm not sure wat i did to deserve that, but i wanted a letter telling that i attended his lectures 3 years ago
14:54:02 <Bjarni> I think it was funny when an IT student said "I could sit here and look at the code for months and still not figure out the reason for this bug, or even the system of how it appeared"... the thing is that I'm not an IT student :P
14:54:35 <Bjarni> and it was a simple case of overflow
14:54:43 <Eddi|zuHause3> which i got 3 years ago already, but sheets of paper magically disappear around here...
14:55:00 <Bjarni> in a program that could be printed on a single paper with normal size font
14:57:13 <frosch123> Normally it is easier to rewrite such programs than finding a bug.
15:02:15 <Bjarni> he wouldn't solve it by rewriting it :P
15:03:03 <Bjarni> basically it was an optimisation issue. byte + byte made an overflow and then it put the result into an int16, but it already discarded the overflow
15:04:20 <Bjarni> but... an IT student, who had to be told about the possibility of an overflow from a non-IT student....
15:04:48 <peter1138> student = not real world knowledge
15:05:15 <frosch123> To my experience, the best 5% of a IT-class are always non-IT students.
15:06:38 <frosch123> Those who know about IT, often choose IT only as minor subject.
15:07:25 <Bjarni> reminds me of my compiler theory class. We were two non-IT students and we were in the same group (we had to form 2 people groups)... we didn't solve much stuff that nobody else solved and we used around the same time, but our solution was always different
15:07:53 <Bjarni> I'm not sure if it were better or worse, it was just different
15:08:17 <frosch123> Non-IT students that sit in IT-lectures either have no clue at all or they belong to the best.
15:08:39 <SmatZ> IT student != knows "how stuff works"
15:09:09 <frosch123> Some choose IT as subject to learn how to use a mouse.
15:09:28 <Bjarni> that reminds me of when I started on uni
15:09:31 <frosch123> But they usally leave after 6 semesters.
15:09:40 <Bjarni> we had to attend a mandatory lecture on how to use a computer
15:09:48 <frosch123> Though they never visited a non-beginner lecture
15:09:56 <Bjarni> double clicking the text file opens it
15:11:22 <Bjarni> for at least 95% of the people in there, it was a waste of time. For those 2 or 3 people, who actually needed it... well it went on so fast that they didn't learn anything
15:12:49 <Bjarni> but we were all there because it was mandatory. It was an into course and we had to pass, but we never really needed to prepare, so just showing up and listen was nearly enough to pass
15:13:48 <Bjarni> oh, the best part: the lecture was about windows, but the uni uses Solaris :P
15:20:29 <MrBrrr> If you're not an IT student, in what field did you study?
15:21:59 <Bjarni> it's somewhat different from what it was 10 years ago
15:23:01 <Bjarni> until fairly recently, you could actually build your own stuff and make it fairly good compared to commercial stuff without writing a single line of code
15:23:08 <Bjarni> today you will have to code
15:23:33 <Bjarni> I mean in the digital world
15:23:56 <Bjarni> you can still do a lot of stuff in analogue electronics without coding
15:24:23 <Bjarni> I mean stuff like voltage stabilisers and stuff can be made fairly complex and still not need coding
15:24:49 <Bjarni> I know you have a decent one
15:25:22 <Bjarni> you just call it a PSU, but it's actually a transformer giving out different voltages and then voltage stabilisers
15:25:50 * SmatZ prefers designed digital circuits ... no coding ... sometimes analog :)
15:25:52 <Bjarni> imagine how the CPU would react on say 20 volt spikes :P
15:26:53 <SmatZ> you have stabilisers on MB too :)
15:27:09 <Bjarni> hehe, I once got the assignment to improve the design of a 12 V to 24 V DC converter. Some students had designed it and in theory it works, but it could produce 1500 V spikes
15:27:39 <Bjarni> so theory and real life doesn't always go hand in hand
15:28:32 <Bjarni> the issue was that the wires were too long, so it added resistance to a low resistance circuit, so the difference between the calculated resistance and the actual resistance was too big for comfort
15:28:51 <SmatZ> what was the problem? did he use voltage aplifiers as comparators?
15:29:08 *** Wezz6400 has joined #openttd
15:29:38 * SmatZ told a strange thing ... hmmm
15:29:45 <frosch123> Ideal operation amplifiers are always handy.
15:29:45 <Bjarni> and since it was based on the switch mode idea, the wrong resistance gave it wrong timing
15:30:17 <Bjarni> I once built an ideal diode
15:30:54 <Bjarni> it needed two op-amps and a shitload of "normal" diodes, resistors and capacitors
15:31:26 <Bjarni> but it was damn close to ideal
15:32:07 <Bjarni> negative input died and it opened at like 0,02 V (or was it even less... can't remember)
15:32:31 <Bjarni> and it was fairly fast too (because we bought the wrong op-amps :P )
15:32:38 <SmatZ> I would need some time to remember all those things ... but isn't enough for "ideal-diode" one ideal op-amp and 3 resistors?
15:33:13 <Bjarni> where would you buy an ideal op-amp?
15:34:01 <frosch123> Can't they be found everywhere on the street?
15:34:21 <SmatZ> I dont know, we learn only theory... I am an IT student, sadly

15:51:41 <Bjarni> ohh, at one time an IT student told me that IT students are better because they learn programming and electronics while I only learn electronics (I do have programming as well, but he didn't know/didn't care). He didn't care either that we have electronics at different levels
15:52:22 <Bjarni> I never see him anymore for some reason

16:46:05 <svip> Any news on the Star Demonstration?
16:46:54 <Bjarni> people don't want to have stars in the night sky anymore?
16:46:55 <svip> Ungdomshuset is holding their "Star Demonstration" today.
16:47:17 <svip> o_o Which will begin from 69 addresses around Copenhagen.
16:47:46 <Bjarni> they just said on the news that they all meet on Blågards plads right now
16:47:54 <svip> Berlingske wrote "stjernedemonstration", so I thought the only appropriate translation.
16:48:06 <Eddi|zuHause3> "Good women do 70 chores around the house... cooking, and 69."
16:48:25 <svip> o_O That is not the reason why it is 69, Eddi|zuHause3.
16:49:13 <Bjarni> I don't think they mind that number though

17:18:52 <Eddi|zuHause3> Wolf01: modify the default values?
17:19:18 <Wolf01> uhm, where are on the server? :P
17:19:35 <Eddi|zuHause3> how should i know :p
17:19:59 <Belugas> i remember it is possible to do so with Tortoise. dunno how, just that it is posible
17:20:06 <Belugas> on svn, i really have no idea.
17:21:00 <Wolf01> i'm doing it by hand as you teached to me, but sometime i forget it, and ALWAYS other devs forget it :D
17:22:59 <Wolf01> i should stay away from the scripts, until i learn how to do at least simple things without breaking all (also if the debug without real actions worked)
17:23:46 <Wolf01> whatever, dinner time :P

17:35:24 <Belugas> windows socket error 10048. nice one to catch why it is raised :(
17:37:28 <Belugas> i'm trying to find why it happens at a customer site
17:37:54 <svip> :) Windows is fun, Belugas.
17:38:10 <Belugas> wow... 8 minute dinenr time... you're making progress, Wolf01 :D
17:38:28 <Belugas> svip, depends on your definition of fun
17:38:42 <svip> We joke a lot about Vista at uni.
17:38:47 <Wolf01> The Windows Socket Error 10048 occurs when an application is unable to open a TCP/IP socket for communications with another application or computer. Normally, list indicates that the TCP/IP protocol is not available, or the desired port number for the socket is already in-use.
17:39:06 <svip> In fact, we have come up with a theory, Belugas, that you can put Vista in any scenario, and that scenario becomes funny.
17:39:27 <Belugas> on a personnal computer, Wolf01, it is easy to catch.
17:39:44 <Belugas> on a business server one, it is a little more tricky :(
17:40:07 <Belugas> i would not run vista on a business machine. we're still using XP
17:40:15 <svip> And why would you be running a server on Windows?
17:40:32 <svip> Wouldn't it be easier to shoot yourself in the foot?
17:40:40 <Eddi|zuHause3> for physical education, svip :p
17:41:30 <Eddi|zuHause3> "how do you recognise windows administrators?" - "they wear sneakers."
17:41:32 <Belugas> in our kind of business, a server is a dedicated machine with lots of ram/hd and cpu power
17:41:42 <Belugas> running sql databases, mostly
17:52:42 <Bjarni> <svip> We joke a lot about Vista at uni. <-- we have jokes about windows in general
17:53:21 <Bjarni> well, it's more like known facts
17:53:27 <Bjarni> in short: don't use it
17:55:12 <peter1138> in short: jokes/comments about windows are FUCKING BORING
17:57:19 *** glx|away is now known as glx
17:57:50 <Bjarni> hehe "he has a last name nobody can spell, so why he bought a domain name with that name is beyond me"
17:57:58 <Bjarni> now that sounds useful :P
17:58:59 <svip> :O My laptop logged on by itself.
17:59:21 <blathijs> What's next? Will it take over the world on its own?
17:59:44 <Bjarni> is it running windows?
17:59:54 <svip> I don't own anything that runs Windows.
18:00:03 <Bjarni> then it has a chance for taking over the world
18:00:15 <svip> I only run Windows where it is safe.
18:00:26 <svip> If something goes wrong.
18:00:33 <svip> And you are back in Linux.
18:00:41 <svip> And you breath freely again.
18:01:41 <Bjarni> lol is the wrong reply
18:01:49 <svip> True is the correct reply.
18:01:58 <svip> Nodding in agreement is acceptable as well.
18:02:27 <svip> Bjarni, did you see the code naked?
18:03:43 <Bjarni> I thought it was my "no cloth" plugin
18:04:05 <Bjarni> would be a first time that it ever worked
18:04:41 <Bjarni> what am I supposed to do with it?
18:04:48 <Bjarni> it's a bunch of python lines
18:04:56 <svip> It's the source code of the website.
18:05:32 *** pPACO_BAN is now known as Phazorx
18:05:37 <Bjarni> I wondered if I downloaded it and executed it, it might display ASCII nudity or something
18:06:04 <Bjarni> needless to say: I didn't really read the code
18:07:31 <Bjarni> Wij kregen mensen al manier van Nederland <--- I wonder what will happen when the Dutch read that you wrote this :P
18:08:43 <Bjarni> where are all the Dutch people of this channel when you need them :P
18:12:00 <blathijs> Bjarni: That's not even valid dutch, I think?

18:39:35 <Bjarni> when I was going to learn about XML, the other students wanted to learn something else.... 1 vs everybody else... I have yet to learn it :(
18:39:55 <Bjarni> odds are that I might do it without a teacher :/
18:40:44 <Bjarni> svip: do you really meet once a week to code games?
18:41:00 <svip> Well... the coding games part perhaps not as much.
18:41:04 <svip> But really do meet once a week.
18:41:24 <Bjarni> it's more testing games
18:41:34 <Bjarni> mainly other people's games, right?
18:41:52 <svip> It more doing uni stuff.
18:42:02 <Bjarni> beer every Tuesday....
18:42:05 <svip> Or working on unrelated projects.
18:42:33 <svip> It is mainly coffee and coke.
18:43:43 <Bjarni> it would be more fun if you really did code games
18:44:42 <Bjarni> but I can see if you have assignments doing lisp, ml and stuff, then there is no room for fun
18:45:25 <svip> I just want some DOM expert.
18:45:27 <Bjarni> actually ml is kind of fun
18:45:35 <svip> Cause I am having a problem with my textnode.
18:45:43 <svip> I want all text within a node, despite their being tags.
18:45:48 <svip> Can't I get some sort of raw output?
18:46:06 *** Dark_Link^ute is now known as Dark_Link^skola
18:47:16 <Bjarni> for me, coding problems is either trains, that fails to be replaced or robots driving into walls
18:48:06 <svip> Are you studying computer science?
18:48:52 <Bjarni> doing stuff you refer to as "hardware"
18:49:59 <Bjarni> <svip> o_O You can study that? <-- no.... nobody learns anything about this and then some people, who has no idea what they are doing puts some stuff together and hopes for the best. Once in a while it works and a new product is born
18:51:01 <Bjarni> if you make a mistake in some code, you get weird output on the screen. If you make a mistake in hardware, you get sparks and/or smoke
18:51:20 <svip> o_o That would be more fun.
18:51:23 <svip> But a lot more expensive.
18:51:58 <Bjarni> reminds me of two students in the lab next to me once.... they didn't become very popular after they connected a 5 volt chip to 30 volts
18:52:07 <Bjarni> the fact that they did it again didn't help
18:52:27 <Bjarni> are you aware of how much smoke and foul smell they can put into those tiny black boxes???
18:53:11 <blathijs> I did connect 18V to 5V chips once, but they only did weird things, not including any smoke or fire...
18:53:33 <Bjarni> the stupid part is that it was actually protected against having too high spikes, but since they turned it on and kept it on, the protection overheated
19:05:41 <Eddi|zuHause3> there goes nothing above fried chips :p
19:08:09 <Bjarni> you aren't allowed to get fat if you deal with robots... it can result in races when a bug turns up. Who will get to the wall first
19:08:31 <Bjarni> or "can you catch the robot before the robot catches the wall"
19:11:35 <blathijs> What kind of robots are they?
19:11:55 <Eddi|zuHause3> you have the wrong kind of walls for these projects then :p
19:21:31 <Bjarni> I think that's a good example of when "drive carefully" would fit :P
19:24:18 <Bjarni> ln-: is that typical Finnish driving?
19:24:33 <Bjarni> or is he finish driving?
19:25:33 <Eddi|zuHause3> i have trouble loading the picture...
19:25:52 <Bjarni> it's a guy with two trailers on his car
19:26:00 <Bjarni> connected very untraditionally
19:26:30 <Eddi|zuHause3> i don't think that is very legal :p
19:27:07 <Bjarni> there are some big pipes on them. The front one has the pipes tired to the trailer really good... the same goes for the last one
19:27:20 <Bjarni> and it looks like the two trailers are only connected with the pipes
19:28:35 <Bjarni> and the car is stopped
19:28:43 <Bjarni> and there is also a stopped police car :P
19:30:24 <Eddi|zuHause3> your descriptive skills scare me :p
19:33:35 <Eddi|zuHause3> because it's like i have the picture right in front of me now...
19:33:43 <Eddi|zuHause3> wait... i do :p
19:35:18 <Bjarni> you finished downloading the image NOW?
19:35:27 <Bjarni> are you on 14.4 or something?
19:37:18 * Belugas wish he was is on a tropical island instead
19:39:29 <Wolf01> i love tropico, i have both the first and the second, but not the expansions
19:40:27 <Bjarni> I don't like how they are hardcoded for 4:3 screens
19:42:58 <Eddi|zuHause3> get a holodeck :p
19:43:22 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: richk * r11051 /branches/NewGRF_ports/ (3 files in 2 dirs): (log message trimmed)
19:43:22 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: [NewGRF_ports] -Feature: Added SHORT TAKEOFF capability.
19:43:22 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: If current state is TAKEOFF, and aircraft is SHORT_STRIP capable, then it performs the TAKEOFF action and switches to SMALLSTARTTAKEOFF heading.

19:45:14 <Belugas> Eddi|zuHause3 NOOO!!! I want to be with that whale! I know i can be !! I NEED TO BE!@!!
19:47:02 <Bjarni> some people are with a whale every day
19:47:15 <Bjarni> some people are even married to one :P
19:49:22 <Wezz6400> you think someone is a nice guy
19:49:34 <Wezz6400> then you find out he's a microsoft fanboy -_-
19:51:14 <Wezz6400> and I'm not exactly an anti-microsoft guy or anything
19:51:45 <Bjarni> reminds me of a guy, who told me he made a friend and then it turned out that this guy was deep into science tology and that's why he asked me if I was interested in them because he didn't want to experience that again
19:51:55 <Belugas> i'm a comupter guy. Who cares on which platform it is done
19:52:00 <Belugas> as long as the job is done!
19:52:01 <Bjarni> and now it looks like you tried something similar
19:52:52 <Wezz6400> well I happen to know there's some people on this channel who are not too fond of windows, seemed like a good place to rant without waking up other ms fanboys ;)
19:56:31 *** skidd13 has joined #openttd
19:58:34 <Belugas> i'm not a FAN as per say, but I use it daily, at work and at home. IT starts to get a tiny little bit ennoying and boring of constantly see ranting about ms
19:58:48 <Belugas> i mean... you can rant aobut it if yu are forced to use it and you don't like it
19:58:55 <Belugas> if you do not use it, don't rant about ti
19:59:34 <Bjarni> hmm... I just saw a huge spider... I mean really huge... hand sized huge, so went to get the camera and now I can't find it anymore
19:59:39 <Bjarni> it's in here... somewhere
19:59:47 <Wezz6400> I wouldn't say windows is bad, well not anymore
19:59:56 <Wezz6400> However, I would'n say it's good either
20:00:09 <skidd13> I for example have to use MS at work, cause the CAD-Software requests it that way. So I have no chance.
20:01:15 <skidd13> The damned thing is the ~4 GB RAM limit. Its damned anoying to fight with big files. :(
20:01:35 <Wezz6400> memory or hdd space?
20:01:56 <Phazorx> since when cad software is win bound?
20:02:10 <Wezz6400> well that's not so much a windows issue as it's a 32bit issue afaik
20:02:33 <skidd13> Since the developer of it programms it that way. And I have to use it cause of compatibility reasons.
20:02:50 <SmatZ> Bjarni: do you have big spiders home? scary!
20:04:08 <Bjarni> it appears that it too wanted ADSL... at least it's sitting on the phone cable box
20:04:31 <Bjarni> <SmatZ> Bjarni: do you have big spiders home? scary! <-- there is a first time for everything
20:04:54 * Wezz6400 gives Bjarni a newspaper ;)
20:05:11 <Bjarni> and... the phone cable box is behind a lot of stuff, so now I can't get to it... looks like I will have a big spider in the house for a little while longer
20:05:58 <Bjarni> fuck, now it's gone again
20:06:11 <Bjarni> I noticed because I HEARD movement
20:06:55 <Bjarni> this can prove to be an interesting night
20:08:05 <SmatZ> oh no, don't kill that poor spidy :(
20:08:42 <Bjarni> now it's completely gone
20:09:08 <Bjarni> it could be interesting when I go to bed
20:09:12 <Bjarni> and hear it move around
20:09:24 <Wezz6400> they kill other bugs
20:09:41 <Bjarni> I have spiders and I tend not to remove them
20:09:47 <Bjarni> and then I have nothing but spiders
20:09:54 <mcbane> depends on the spider size =P
20:10:19 <Bjarni> <Phazorx> and they are quiet <--- yeah, but I have the biggest spider that I have ever seen and I actually heard it move
20:10:21 <Phazorx> mcbane: big ones are relatively quite too
20:10:24 <SmatZ> my friend had several spiders home, at terarium. They were really big and few times one got lost. It took days to find him. I doubt I would sleep in that house when there is a big, toxic spider somewhere...
20:10:34 <Bjarni> it touched something that made a noise
20:10:48 <Phazorx> SmatZ: big ones are usualy not toxic
20:10:51 <Phazorx> they dont really ened it
20:11:02 <Phazorx> Bjarni: perhaps it was prey :)
20:11:30 <Wezz6400> mice tend to make noise when being captured
20:11:37 <Bjarni> it's not a web using spider... it just run damn fast and catch the prey
20:12:01 <Phazorx> there are no spiders that hunt mice... there are very few that can fight it
20:12:12 <Phazorx> in general mamals are not on spiders menu
20:12:17 <mcbane> they can kinda screech.
20:12:25 <SmatZ> Phazorx: do you have some spiders, too?
20:12:32 <Bjarni> Wezz6400: depends on how they are captured.... snap and then no noise also happens
20:12:48 <Phazorx> there are some that hunt fish and eggs but that's as far as it goes...
20:12:57 <Phazorx> and as far as making noise goes - they can not really
20:13:08 <Wezz6400> Bjarni well they do make noise while being captured, however the snap of the trap is so loud you don't hear it :P
20:13:13 <Phazorx> SmatZ: well i live in a house, in residental area
20:13:27 <Phazorx> sometimes i have to step other racoon or skunk wghen entering my door
20:13:34 <Phazorx> spiders would be least of my concern :)
20:13:43 <Bjarni> ohh, I know a guy, who had a rat problem and the rats kept out of the traps, but could manage to get to the food nomatter how well it was protected. As a last resort, he waited in the kitchen after dark and when they arrived, he shot one of them with his hunting rifle and all the other rats fleed and was never seen again
20:13:45 <Phazorx> and i know i have plenty
20:13:54 <Bjarni> but he shot a rat on the kitchen floor
20:14:12 <SmatZ> Phazorx: what an exotic country :)
20:14:14 <Phazorx> Bjarni: he got lacky actualy they could have attecked
20:14:29 <Phazorx> SmatZ: that's actualy outskirts of a large city :)
20:14:47 <Phazorx> but i have sheep pasture 50 meters from here
20:14:59 <Phazorx> and 10M people within 50km :)
20:15:05 <Eddi|zuHause3> i often have a few web-spiders around here
20:15:18 <Bjarni> <Phazorx> Bjarni: he got lacky actualy they could have attecked <-- he had more than one shot and he might also have had a knife... not to mention the dogs appeared when stuff happened
20:15:20 <Phazorx> webspiders are pretty much part of human habitat
20:15:46 <Eddi|zuHause3> they are usually in the window or something
20:15:46 <Phazorx> since most things that humans do attract insects
20:15:50 <SmatZ> Bjarni: a bit crazy guy, didn't he damage his floor?
20:16:08 <Bjarni> I don't recall any damage to the floor
20:16:14 <Phazorx> i cant really see anything larger than a bb gun suited for rat huunting
20:16:24 <Bjarni> he is a professional hunter... he knew what he was doing
20:16:26 <Phazorx> especialy rifle round, used in locked space
20:17:06 <Phazorx> he must have used grapes, cuz bullet would be either famaging or dangerous depending on nature of floor
20:17:24 <SmatZ> in some cartoon tales, people get rid of rats by loud music...
20:17:29 <Phazorx> still tho, not the best idea imho... i guess he was kinda pissed
20:17:30 <Bjarni> but it goes with the story that nobody would have noticed a minor damage to the floor since the dogs had their way with it already
20:18:01 <SmatZ> didn't the dogs catch the rats?
20:18:11 <Bjarni> <Phazorx> still tho, not the best idea imho... i guess he was kinda pissed <--- it was more like: nothing else worked so far
20:18:27 <Phazorx> dogs must have taken care of it actualy
20:18:38 <Phazorx> strange rats you have there
20:18:45 <Bjarni> <SmatZ> didn't the dogs catch the rats? <--- when the dog appeared, the rats ran away. When the dog left, the rats were back in the food
20:18:59 <Phazorx> sure some of them werent wearig panzers and been green with weird italian names?
20:19:22 <Bjarni> I don't think anybody ask them for their names
20:19:47 <Bjarni> well, it's possible that the dogs took one once in a while
20:19:53 <Phazorx> than was TNMT refence :)
20:20:16 <Bjarni> but the rats somehow managed anyway
20:21:02 <Bjarni> now that I think about it, they did remove the floor afterwards because they learned that the rats might have been under it. Any damage to it might have been fixed by replacing the floor before I saw it
20:21:27 <Bjarni> but it's kind of interesting that just because one of them was shot, the rest fled the house
20:21:36 <Bjarni> to never return to it again
21:08:47 *** Diabolic-Angel has quit IRC
21:08:59 *** alex^^^ has joined #openttd
21:23:35 <Bjarni> this is the approach to one of the hardest airports to land in in the world
21:24:33 <Red> That chick has a huge runway
21:25:43 <Phazorx> i was thking one at st lucia and st thomes was hardest ever for full sized planes
21:26:02 <Bjarni> this one doesn't allow full sized planes
21:26:15 <Red> this one barely allows small planes
21:26:27 <Bjarni> and it has a "window" for landing/takeoff every morning or the visibility is too poor
21:27:09 <Bjarni> you see, they do this on what they can see only. They disable the electronic help because if they didn't, it would just scream "PULL UP" all the time
21:27:18 <Phazorx> spunds liek a hard to get place
21:27:28 <Phazorx> perhaps RR would be abetter choice
21:27:51 <Phazorx> koran does not prohibit rails
21:28:10 <Bjarni> it's between India and Tibet
21:28:20 <Bjarni> not a nice location for railroads
21:28:35 <Bjarni> oh, and next to Nepal as well
21:29:01 <Red> that's just north of mexico, right?
21:29:10 <Phazorx> most of population is islamic i meant...
21:29:12 <Bjarni> something like that :P
21:29:20 <Phazorx> and landscape is not too raod friendly indeed
21:29:27 <Phazorx> but it is much cheaper than planes
21:29:50 <Phazorx> Red is showing his US citizenship
21:29:50 <Bjarni> <Phazorx> most of population is islamic i meant... <-- considering they don't know how many people, who live there, how would you figure out the % of them to believe in Islam?
21:30:01 <Phazorx> that's Belize there :)
21:30:09 <Bjarni> think think there are between 600k and 2,3 million, but they aren't sure
21:30:27 <Bjarni> besides I actually think they are Buddhists
21:30:41 <Phazorx> Bjarni: take any random number of separated people and count percentages
21:30:43 <Bjarni> hehe, spelling checker asked if I meant nudists :D
21:30:51 <Phazorx> a former coworker of mine was from there
21:31:12 <Red> Bjarni: pretty much the same thing
21:31:13 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
21:31:49 * Bjarni considers converting to Buddhism
21:31:56 <Red> they both eat tacos don't they?
21:32:16 <Red> oh, I am thinking about russians
21:33:10 <svip> So no wonder you're thinking about the Russians.
21:33:38 <Bjarni> but the main religion in Russia aren't nudism....
21:34:13 <Bjarni> actually they are orthodox
21:34:31 * Bjarni wonders if Red knows what orthodox is
21:35:18 <Phazorx> considering belize and bhitan are samething probably not
21:36:02 <Bjarni> it's Bhutan, not bhitan :P
21:37:29 *** Greyscale has joined #openttd
21:37:42 <Bjarni> bh is short for bra in Danish, u is short for without and tan is... well tan, so is Bhutan short for "bra to protect against tanning"?
21:39:05 <svip> It would be "bra without tanning".
21:40:37 <Bjarni> so it protects against tanning
21:40:56 <Bjarni> don't you have any linguistic skills?
21:41:10 <svip> It could also mean without tanning protection.
21:41:13 <TrueBrain> yeah! I finished Blue Dragon :) WHOHO!
21:44:40 <Bjarni> first he didn't know how the world looks like, now he is unsure of his own name
21:47:15 *** Greyscale has joined #openttd
22:00:30 <Bjarni> I don't recall seeing you before
22:02:51 <Elweel> it's the first time that i am here
22:04:17 <Elweel> i was looking for a good grf list for openttd, but i found one already
22:08:30 <Elweel> hm, does anyone know of a water replacement grf that works properly with openttd?
22:10:27 <Phazorx> newwater works half decent
22:10:32 <Phazorx> aside of some corner tiles
22:12:02 <Elweel> yes, that's my problem
22:13:33 <Phazorx> i dont know of a better solutuion
22:13:42 <Phazorx> but there are at least 2-3 different newwater pacthes
22:13:48 <Phazorx> some look better than others
22:20:58 <Bjarni> use nightly builds if you are found of newGRF
22:21:34 <Bjarni> basically it has way better newGRF support. It might be more buggy though, so don't overwrite your savegames in case something goes wrong
22:21:49 <Phazorx> it still has funky corner edges Bjarni
22:22:17 <Bjarni> I don't know about that. I talked about newGRF in general
22:22:32 <Bjarni> actually I don't think I ever tried a water replacement grf
22:22:43 <Bjarni> it just never came up with the stuff I do
22:23:01 <Ammller> Bjarni: its a really nice replacement
22:24:19 <Elweel> i already use a nightly build for all the fancy newgrfs :D
