07:14:37 <dih> say i run a dedicated server
07:14:49 <dih> no - let me start differently
07:15:00 <dih> when i start openttd (graphically)
07:15:13 <dih> change a setting and run saveconfig on the console
07:15:27 <dih> changes are written to the config file as expected
07:16:02 <dih> however, changing a setting in a running game and deciding one would like to save that, and one runs saveconfig on the consoel, it does not save the settings from the game
07:16:48 <dih> esp on a dedicated server this is a bain up the rear end
07:17:06 <dih> when someone changes a setting on the dedicated server console and would like to save that to the file
07:17:17 <dih> running saveconfig has absolutely no effect
07:22:01 <Celestar> morning
07:25:36 <dih> good morning Celestar
07:26:21 <petern> afaik, saveconfig just causes the start up config to be saved, it does not cause the running config to be copied to the start up config, and then saved

07:27:39 <petern> (heh, cisco terminology, but it works)
07:29:25 <dih> petern: that would mean that if i am in the main menu und run patch max_trains 0 and then saveconfig that the config file would still hold 500
07:29:40 <dih> or das the change have an influence on the 'startup config'?
07:30:39 <dih> eitherway, esp. on a dedicated server it would be of help if saveconfig saved the config of the running game
07:31:30 <dih> or if it was triggered with a flag to the console command saveconfig

07:58:40 <planetmaker> g'day
08:01:38 *** eMJay has joined #openttd
08:03:23 <dih> hello planetmaker
08:03:33 <Celestar> hey planetmaker
08:03:36 <Celestar> how are the planets?
08:04:16 <planetmaker> they're wandering their realms - as they've done fore eons and as they'll do fore eons once even the age of men is long past :P
08:04:29 <planetmaker> heya dih, heya Celestar :)
08:05:04 <planetmaker> actually... weather makes them elude me :)
08:06:39 <Celestar> I'd like to do some astrophysics now :(
08:13:52 <eMJay> quick question, why is there no classes in the ottd code?
08:14:08 <eMJay> i should say, why /are/ there no classes...
08:14:18 <petern> i should say, what code are you looking at?
08:14:36 <eMJay> the trunk code...
08:14:41 <petern> clearly not
08:14:47 <eMJay> looks like all structs to me
08:15:02 <petern> structs and classes. is that a problem?
08:16:23 *** ecke has quit IRC
08:16:48 <eMJay> you'll have to forgive me, I'm reasonably new to C++ (I've learned and used mainly Java and C#) but aren't classes typically easier to understand?
08:17:56 <petern> in c++, structs and classes are the same
08:18:14 <petern> almost
08:18:27 <petern> structs default to public
08:18:27 <eMJay> structs just don't have methods, correct?
08:18:38 <petern> no
08:19:02 <Celestar> eMJay: nope
08:19:13 <petern> as in, not correct ;)
08:19:19 <Celestar> eMJay: diffence between structs and classes is that classes default to private and structs default to public
08:20:07 <eMJay> ok cool
08:20:50 *** bleepy has quit IRC
08:20:56 <dih> why do i not find any console in the openttd code?
08:21:00 <Rubidium> I wonder why you want to make a list of all classes?
08:21:03 <dih> i find IConsole, but that is not the same is it?
08:24:40 *** Mortal has joined #openttd
08:25:15 <Celestar> dih: ?
08:25:22 <Celestar> Rubidium: doxygen will provide already a lot of classes
08:26:02 <Rubidium> Celestar: that's why I'm wondering why eMJay wants to make a list of classes (see wiki)
08:26:49 <petern> presumably to try to understand stuff
08:27:15 <Rubidium> Celestar: you should sync cargodest (people having problems with issues already fixed in trunk)
08:29:49 <petern> hmm, only one conflict in railtypes
08:29:57 <petern> last synced in september

08:40:05 <eMJay> I'm using the wiki as a sortof scribbling pad to understand the structure of the code
08:40:29 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
08:40:42 <eMJay> I want to have a go at putting together a FIFO signals patch, but not really sure where to begin
08:41:24 <Celestar> gnah
08:41:37 <Celestar> I've somehow misplaced the URL I need to push to :P
08:42:56 <planetmaker> [10:40] <eMJay> I want to have a go at putting together a FIFO signals patch, but not really sure where to begin <--- why yet another kind of signals?
08:44:05 <eMJay> not another kind of signal, a modification to the current kind
08:44:16 <Celestar> :S
08:45:12 <eMJay> FS #2158 is one that I opened, but there are others in a similar vein
08:45:47 <Celestar> Rubidium: done
08:45:50 <Celestar> (=
08:45:56 <eMJay> basically, at an intersection with many entrances, the train that was waiting the longest should be the one to proceed first when the signal goes green
08:46:25 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
08:49:03 <blathijs> eMJay: didn't that happen already before? I seem to remember a waiting time being kept per train, but I'm not so sure
08:49:35 *** scarabeus has joined #openttd
08:50:01 <eMJay> I don't beleive it does, r14508 doesn't...
08:51:41 <dih> 10:25 <@Celestar> dih: ? <- i was mocking eMJay
08:53:15 <dih> blathijs: that's with pbs
08:53:27 <dih> afaik
08:55:48 <petern> blathijs: the waiting time was for turning around, not priority
08:56:08 <dih> ah - and that
08:56:42 <dih> eMJay: you can create a FIFO system with using logic gates :-D
08:57:53 <eMJay> well, yes.
08:58:05 <eMJay> but technically, you could build almost anything with logic gates
08:58:16 <dih> yep
08:58:18 <Celestar> what the HELL is wrong with my server

08:58:42 <dih> heh
08:58:46 <blathijs> petern: Ah, you're right
08:58:51 <Celestar> dih: it's not funny
08:58:57 <dih> sure it's not
08:59:01 <Gekz> it needs an rm -rf /
08:59:03 <Gekz> that'll fix her
08:59:04 <Gekz> !
08:59:05 <eMJay> Celestar: what are you serving?
08:59:06 <Celestar> doing ls on a directory on the server takes up to 15 seconds
08:59:17 <Celestar> eMJay: departmental /homes :)
08:59:21 <dih> eMJay: a FIFO signal system would only be of interest if it was switchable
08:59:25 <dih> and not just for the game
08:59:38 <dih> Celestar: free?
08:59:41 <eMJay> dih, how do you mean switchable?
08:59:47 <Celestar> dih: what do you mean?
08:59:49 <eMJay> as in, you could turn off FIFO behaviour?

09:00:06 <dih> eMJay: why would i want every signal block to use a FIFO system
09:00:36 <dih> Celestar: there is some echo <number> /proc/<somehwere> you can do to free up some mem
09:00:48 <Celestar> dih: why do I need to free mem?
09:00:56 <eMJay> because it would lead to more even utilisation of the signal block by all the entrances of that block
09:00:57 <Celestar> it's all cache anyway
09:00:57 <petern> there's loads of free mem there
09:01:03 <dih> sometimes a linux system can mem odd stuff that you dont need anymore
09:01:22 <Celestar> I have an I/O problem, not a mem problem, have I not?

09:02:17 <petern> all the linux experts are here today
09:02:18 <Celestar> I can't do these experiments on a production server :P
09:02:21 <eMJay> hahaha
09:02:37 <Celestar> otherwise people will siege my office in no time
09:02:48 <eMJay> dih: why wouldn't you want FIFO signal blocks?
09:02:59 <eMJay> priority i assume?
09:03:15 <petern> priority, performance...
09:03:16 <dih> eMJay: i like more controll over my priority
09:03:30 <eMJay> isn't that done with presignals?
09:03:32 <petern> some people might want to keep exsting behaviour
09:04:28 <dih> eMJay: i.e. 2 lanes, 1 with prio
09:04:48 <dih> prio line always gets prio over the other line
09:04:59 <Celestar> disk I/O is WAAAAAY to high
09:05:31 <dih> expect if there is a bunch of trains waiting at the prio line so that the queue too far back, then the odd train from the 2nd lane may go
09:06:36 <Brianetta> priority should be governed by train orders.
09:06:39 <blathijs> What is the current behaviour anyway? You can't set priority, or can you?
09:07:02 <blathijs> Isn't it currently the train with the lowest ID that gets to go first or something?
09:07:09 <Brianetta> blathijs: Yes.
09:07:19 <Brianetta> That's if they're all actually waiting.
09:07:38 <eMJay> I thought it was more like, whichever the game tries to move first
09:07:43 <eMJay> after the light goes green
09:08:15 <eMJay> eg trains 1 and 3 are waiting for train 2 to clear a signal block
09:08:16 <blathijs> Yeah, so probably lowest id first I think
09:08:21 <petern> nope
09:08:26 <petern> depends which train gets to move first
09:08:32 <eMJay> train 1 tries to move, but can't
09:08:38 <eMJay> train 2 moves and clears the block
09:08:40 <petern> so generally the most powerful train
09:08:45 <eMJay> train 3 moves into the block
09:08:52 <blathijs> petern: Trains are sorted by speed, or what/
09:08:57 <petern> no sorting
09:08:59 <eMJay> thus, in this case train 3 is higher prio
09:09:21 <petern> just a lower power train won't be able to move quickly enough
09:09:39 <eMJay> how far away from the boundary of the sigblock do trains stop?
09:10:44 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC
09:15:34 <eMJay> Ok, so at the moment, a signal block with regular signals and two equal trains waiting will allow a (semi) random train to go first
09:16:09 <eMJay> with non-equal trains, the train with higher acceleration will tend to go first, but it is still (semi) random

09:17:01 <dih> nooooooo

09:57:20 <eMJay> dih: windows xp?
09:58:10 <Celestar> Windows XP can address more than 2GB?
09:59:11 <FauxFaux> Define address? Basically, yes, it's 4gb - reserved.
09:59:22 <Celestar> sunno
09:59:24 <Celestar> dunno*
09:59:29 <Celestar> I haven't touched Windows installations in years
09:59:43 <eMJay> winxp can do up to about 3Gb
09:59:53 <eMJay> despite 32bit being technically able to address 4gb
10:00:05 <Celestar> eMJay: well that includes kernel address space
10:00:18 <Celestar> somewhere the Video memory and other crap needs to reside
10:00:26 <FauxFaux> It can do exactly 4gb, but some stuff (like the graphics memory) is mapped into the address space, which meanr you'se likely to only see 3-3.5gb.
10:00:50 <FauxFaux> To be honest, if you're running a 32-bit os you deserve everything you get. :p

10:05:20 <blathijs> Celestar: If "HIGHMEM4G" is PAE, then yes
10:05:27 <Celestar> blathijs: basically yes afaik
10:05:41 <Celestar> apart from my workstation which is 64-bit, but then again has 16GB RAM
10:05:48 <Celestar> er 8 GB. plus 8 swap :P
10:08:17 <blathijs> sick :-)
10:09:05 *** yorick has joined #openttd
10:09:11 <Celestar> blathijs: if you have to dig through datasets in the terabytes size, this is sickly small, yes (=
10:09:40 <blathijs> hehe
10:09:45 <yorick> Celestar: has the cargodest bug with pressing the routing button while being spectator been fixed?
10:10:08 <yorick> on the smallmap, I mean
10:10:51 <Celestar> yorick: can't remember, will test tomorrow
10:11:11 <dih> 11:57 < eMJay> dih: windows xp? <- why on earth would i do that?
10:11:52 <Celestar> maybe you're a masochist?
10:12:32 <dih> hehe
10:12:42 *** HentaiXP has joined #openttd
10:12:43 <dih> i have an amd 64
10:12:48 <Celestar> my fragmentation of the XFS driver in question is 31% :o
10:12:51 <dih> and debian lenny 32bit
10:13:23 <Celestar> OpenSUSE 10.3, 11.0 and 11.1b3 here
10:13:33 <dih> Celestar: boot up a windows system, install an xfs driver, run defrag :-D
10:13:43 <Celestar> dih: xfs has a defrag tool :D
10:13:47 <HentaiXP> is the skyos sources for openttd in suversion?
10:13:50 <dih> Celestar: i have personal aversion to SuSE
10:14:00 <Celestar> M$ is waaaaay to incompetent to make an XFS driver
10:14:04 <Celestar> apparently
10:14:12 <petern> what is skyos?
10:14:14 <dih> HentaiXP: openttd does not use 'suversion'
10:14:20 <petern> and what is suversion?
10:14:27 <Celestar> dih: the reason being?
10:14:37 <HentaiXP> is the skyos sources for openttd in subversion?
10:14:42 <HentaiXP> www.skyos.org
10:14:47 <petern> you said that
10:14:59 <dih> Celestar: more packages, less issues with certain app's
10:15:06 <petern> oh
10:15:07 <petern> well
10:15:18 <dih> + i need to dev for a 32bit conference server :-)
10:15:20 <petern> never heard of skyos, so assume not
10:15:48 <HentaiXP> yes I corrected it.
10:16:26 <TrueBrain> wow, 0.6.3 ebuild was accepted in portage ...
10:16:29 <Celestar> I'm out hunting some food
10:16:34 <Celestar> TrueBrain: it was :D
10:17:47 <dih> yay
10:17:49 <dih> happy days
10:17:54 <dih> enjoy your meal TrueBrain
10:19:43 <scarabeus> TrueBrain: could tell ya but i was not sure that you are around ;]
10:20:34 <TrueBrain> scarabeus: today, I am :)
10:20:39 <scarabeus> :]
10:20:40 <dih> scarabeus: as soon as you see a TrueBrain nick in the names list, you can chat to him :-P
10:20:47 <TrueBrain> too bad the hard mask is not removed ..
10:20:51 <scarabeus> i know i know
10:21:31 <roboboy> hello
10:21:39 <TrueBrain> and dih, it was Celestar who was getting a meal :p

10:22:45 <scarabeus> TrueBrain: btw i think that for that 7.0 we can prepare suprise in giving them opensourced datafiles
10:22:50 <scarabeus> i think pple will be happy
10:22:54 <dih> Celestar: enjoy your meal :-P
10:22:57 *** Joni_- has quit IRC
10:22:59 <Celestar> tx :P
10:23:04 <dih> TrueBrain: yeah - i just like talking with ya
10:23:18 <TrueBrain> scarabeus: that project is not done yet
10:23:19 <dih> scarabeus: it will take YEARS for 7.0
10:23:23 <TrueBrain> dih: I know :)
10:23:28 <dih> :-)
10:23:28 <scarabeus> ok than 7.4
10:23:31 <scarabeus> 6.4
10:23:42 <dih> 6.4 will also take YEARS
10:23:42 <scarabeus> i dont mind what your release is named :]
10:23:47 <scarabeus> ow
10:23:47 <dih> 0.7 ?
10:23:52 <scarabeus> i dont write first zero
10:23:53 <dih> :-D
10:23:59 <scarabeus> and today i even dont write the dot
10:24:00 <dih> well it makes a different
10:24:04 <scarabeus> so suprise suprise
10:24:08 <dih> .7% != 7%
10:24:14 <TrueBrain> dih: you know damn well what he means :)
10:24:16 *** Joni- has joined #openttd

10:24:45 * dih pats scarabeus on the head :-D
10:24:48 <scarabeus> :]
10:24:58 <Rubidium> oh, so scarabeus thinks he's very cool for using windows 31 when windows 7 is not released yet
10:25:18 <dih> :-P
10:25:36 <dih> Rubidium: windows 311 even
10:25:44 *** ecke has joined #openttd
10:26:07 <scarabeus> nah i just use vista ;]
10:26:12 <scarabeus> and turn aero on
10:26:13 <scarabeus> :D
10:26:45 <dih> YUCK
10:27:37 <scarabeus> actualy i kinda like that system, because i was forced to rewrite some tools which were only for windows so i can use them on linux
10:27:38 <scarabeus> :D
10:30:43 <Celestar> life. sucks.

10:36:04 <Rubidium> HentaiXP: I can't even find a skyos port of openttd, only uncited openttd supports skyos stuff
10:36:21 <HentaiXP> such I thought so Rubidium thank you
10:36:48 <TrueBrain> scarabeus: it would benice if it would be removed :) Oh well .. time will remove it anyway, I guess :)
10:37:13 <scarabeus> actualy on monday i will get the rights to do it myself i guess
10:37:17 <scarabeus> but i am lazy to wait
10:37:27 <TrueBrain> hehe
10:37:29 <TrueBrain> aren't we all ;)
10:38:50 *** ecke has joined #openttd
10:41:27 <yorick> hmm, the packet header is little endian?
10:42:40 <yorick> 18 00 20 <-- that's size 24, packet #32, right?
10:42:42 <blathijs> Isn't everything just in network-order (BE IIRC)
10:42:53 <yorick> blathijs: see ^
10:43:13 <blathijs> yorick: I think you're looking at big-endian there
10:43:22 <blathijs> not sure, though
10:43:33 <yorick> 18 00 in big-endian makes 24?
10:44:03 <petern> little endian
10:44:46 <petern> a packet size of 9216 bytes makes no sense
10:44:50 *** welshdragon has joined #openttd
10:45:02 <SpComb> yes it does!
10:45:14 <yorick> SpComb: no it doesn't
10:45:20 * petern fragments SpComb
10:45:52 <yorick> simply because 24 bytes later, there's another perfectly valid packet
10:46:37 <SpComb> petern: length headers in UDP packets don't make any sense
10:46:50 <yorick> ^^
10:47:03 <SpComb> UDP packets already have a defined length
10:47:07 <TrueBrain> blathijs: OpenTTD is (I know, stupid), LE in its network protocol (independant of host endian)
10:47:20 <blathijs> yorick: This does seem to be little-endian indeed, I was confused
10:47:27 *** Fuco has joined #openttd
10:47:41 <blathijs> TrueBrain: Interesting :-)
10:47:49 <yorick> TrueBrain: "So the byte order is ALWAYS 1 2 3 4" <-- doesn't that mean big-endian?
10:48:07 <blathijs> TrueBrain: That's probably because all the endian stuff was introduced when we had only little-endian support
10:48:09 <TrueBrain> blathijs: more a design error when I was writing that .. I never considered using network-endian :p
10:48:32 <TrueBrain> void Packet::Send_uint32(uint32 data)
10:48:36 <TrueBrain> {
10:48:40 <TrueBrain> assert(this->size < sizeof(this->buffer) - sizeof(data));
10:48:44 <TrueBrain> this->buffer[this->size++] = GB(data, 0, 8);
10:48:44 <TrueBrain> this->buffer[this->size++] = GB(data, 8, 8);
10:48:44 <TrueBrain> this->buffer[this->size++] = GB(data, 16, 8);
10:48:44 <TrueBrain> this->buffer[this->size++] = GB(data, 24, 8);
10:48:45 <TrueBrain> yorick: you do the math
10:49:05 <TrueBrain> blathijs: no, BE/LE handling was there even before I started working on OpenTTD
10:49:11 <TrueBrain> so that makes .. 0.3.3 or something?
10:49:31 <blathijs> TrueBrain: But I guess we were already supporting OSX then?
10:49:32 <yorick> oh, you name the bytes from right-to-left
10:50:55 <blathijs> TrueBrain: I just meant that originally there was only little-endian support, so the network protocol was naturally little-endian. And you probably took that over (What's the proper english translation for that?)
10:51:27 <yorick> borrowed?
10:51:31 <SpComb> #define GB
10:51:49 <TrueBrain> blathijs: not really ;) There was both LE and BE, but ingame most things are converted to LE .. the reason I took LE, was because I wasn't thinking, and just wrote those Send_uint32 in the first way I came across :)
10:51:53 <blathijs> GetBit(value, start_bit, end_bit)
10:52:01 <blathijs> TrueBrain: :-)
10:52:06 <TrueBrain> which happens to be i & 0xFF, (i >> 8) & 0xFF, ...
10:52:20 <TrueBrain> there wasn't really any reason for it .. ;)
10:52:57 *** Vikthor has quit IRC
10:54:12 <blathijs> It should be easy to switch to BE, but it really doesn't matter at all :-)
10:54:36 <TrueBrain> nobody cares, I guess :)
10:54:49 <yorick> I do...
10:54:52 <TrueBrain> I know I don't :)
10:55:04 <TrueBrain> jus tpeople like yorick get confused .. and seem not to be able to think
10:55:33 <yorick> your explanation of the endianness on the wiki is confusing and lacks an example
10:55:39 * yorick goes writing example
10:55:59 <TrueBrain> then don't use the wiki :)

13:18:06 <TrueBrain> Brianetta: the fact you are wondering about it, makes us pass the tuning test
13:18:07 <TrueBrain> whoho!
13:18:41 *** ecke_ has quit IRC
13:19:03 <Brianetta> TrueBrain: Not quite. The fact that I am wondering about it means that you are *sitting* a Turing test.
13:19:23 <Brianetta> No pressure.
13:19:25 <TrueBrain> fair enough
13:19:27 <TrueBrain> let me know when you know
13:19:40 <Brianetta> Belugas is the machine.
13:19:45 <TrueBrain> auch
13:19:56 *** ecke has joined #openttd
13:24:28 <Belugas> me? a machine?
13:24:34 <Belugas> strange...
13:25:58 <Brianetta> Well, in a properly set up Turing test, one of the participants must be machine. It's the machine that's being tested.
13:26:24 <Brianetta> If you're not the machine, Belugas, then TrueBrain passed the Turing test. If you are, then you failed it.
13:26:37 *** TrogDoor has joined #openttd
13:26:45 <yorick> so a properly set up TUring test never fails?
13:27:00 <Brianetta> yorick: Never fails to what?
13:27:15 <yorick> the subject is always a machine
13:27:17 *** apo has joined #openttd
13:27:41 <Brianetta> yorick: The Turing test is a test intended for a machine, yes.
13:27:56 <Brianetta> Do you know how the test is applied?
13:28:43 <yorick> but isn't the whole point of the tast that you want to know whether the subject is a machine?
13:28:47 <Brianetta> No.
13:29:19 <Brianetta> The whole point of the Turing test is to measure whether or not an AI is deemed intelligent.
13:29:47 <Brianetta> The test consists of a number of conversations.
13:30:06 <Brianetta> Participants converse with a machine and a human, via similar means (usually text based).
13:30:22 <Brianetta> The human at the other end converses back, and the machine does likewise.
13:30:28 *** Doorslammer has quit IRC
13:30:31 *** TrogDoor is now known as Doorslammer
13:30:49 <Brianetta> If 30% or more of the participants cannot successfully say which of the conversations was with a machine, then the machine has passed the Turing test.
13:31:08 <yorick> oh, that kind of Turingtest
13:31:14 <Brianetta> There is only one kind.
13:31:19 <Brianetta> Alan Turing devised it.
13:31:38 <Brianetta> That's why it bears his name.
13:31:43 <Brianetta> Other tests aren't the Turing test.
13:32:24 <yorick> reverse Turing test
13:32:52 <Brianetta> You're going to have to be much more specific.
13:33:35 *** apo_ has quit IRC
13:33:40 <yorick> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Turing_test
13:33:52 <Brianetta> Yes.
13:33:54 <Brianetta> "The term reverse Turing test has no single clear definition"
13:33:58 <Brianetta> You're going to have to be much more specific.
13:34:48 <TrueBrain> Brianetta: so I passed the turing test .. YEAH!
13:34:51 * TrueBrain celebrates
13:34:56 <TrueBrain> (I have proof Belugas is not a bot ;))
13:35:11 <Brianetta> TrueBrain: This does mean that you were the computer, though (:
13:35:32 <TrueBrain> yup
13:36:52 <yorick> Brianetta: machine testing humans
13:37:04 <yorick> to see if they're human
13:37:11 <Brianetta> Captchas etc?
13:37:16 <Brianetta> Not a Turing test.
13:37:23 <Brianetta> Just using the name.
13:37:37 <TrueBrain> not even remotely :)
13:37:45 <Brianetta> Poor Alan Turing. He was too gay to get recognition while he was alive.

14:21:38 <Foto2> hmm
14:21:53 <Foto2> in OPEN TTD 0.6.3
14:21:54 <yorick> I think he wants to say pressing "Find Server" makes it go to the main menu
14:22:44 <Foto2> no
14:23:14 <Foto2> that get a much IP up and no servers the IP-servers is Offline
14:23:23 <Foto2> but ...

14:23:59 <Foto2> ....
14:24:06 <Foto2> you dont understand i think

18:18:33 <TrueBrain> SmatZ: but comment out the line in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, or add an entry in your /etc/profile/package.unmask
18:19:14 <SmatZ> TrueBrain: I have edited package.unmask just after it was masked :) now I am trying an x86 system :)

18:58:14 <Belugas> public server bot?
18:58:16 <Belugas> what's that?
18:58:29 <planetmaker> we can talk to our public server via IRC, too.

20:25:07 <ln> Sacro: er, yes, that's true. mezzanine was the name of the album it is on.
20:25:45 <Belugas> Due to rights and licensing issues, "Teardrop" cannot be used in some countries, so "House End Credits" replaces "Teardrop" as the opening theme in those countries.

21:21:31 <Bjarni> TrueBrain: it's not that random
21:21:55 <Bjarni> besides they can't talk before the throat is developed enough to actually produce the sounds
21:22:03 <ln> still we're not trying to teach dutch to the bot.
21:22:07 <TrueBrain> the thought itself was, and it is not your position to tell me it is not
21:22:09 <Bjarni> meaning they have to be usually 12-16 months before they can talk
21:22:50 <Bjarni> ln: that was actually an interesting idea. Why should we only teach it English?
21:23:15 <ln> Bjarni: because belugas gets confused from non-english.
21:23:26 <ben_goodger> Bjarni: because it cannot distinguish between the two, and will end up speaking some monstrous language of its own invention
21:23:33 <ben_goodger> like Americans
21:23:38 <Prof_Frink> ben_goodger: Welsh?
21:23:49 <ben_goodger> possibly
21:23:53 <ben_goodger> hm
21:24:22 <Bjarni> then we will get this fine bot telling us stuff in Dutchrish
21:24:27 <ben_goodger> "welsh and cornish are the first languages designed specifically to make their speakers different from english speakers. this is worryingly attention-seeking behaviour."
21:24:36 <TrueBrain> babyottd will never make sense, so who cares about which language ;) (it simply isn't programmed to reply in context, it just .. replies :p)
21:24:38 <ben_goodger> ~ discuss
21:25:29 <Prof_Frink> Cornwall has cliffs, Wales has cliffs and crags. To hell with the people.
21:25:31 <Eddi|zuHause> i would be a terrible teacher at dutch ;)
21:26:09 <TrueBrain> most likely as terrible as I would be teaching german :)
21:27:02 <ben_goodger> Prof_Frink: I would like to point out that we also have defectant-covered beaches and a lot of urban deprivation
21:27:11 <Bjarni> hmm... what's cornish like?
21:27:21 <Bjarni> it sounds somewhat corny :P
21:27:32 <ben_goodger> Bjarni: diphthong-covered
21:27:32 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni: It's pasty.
21:27:54 <ben_goodger> although it is useful for place names
21:28:19 <ben_goodger> for instance, Saint Austell becomes Sen Ostell, which is very handy because everyone calls it "sunt ostall" or "snozzle"
21:28:40 <Bjarni> :)
21:29:35 <TrueBrain> hmm .. for any bot to reply in context, it also needs to have emotions, else it will be very .. stupid

21:30:29 <Bjarni> a guy told me today that he once spoke with some people from England. He didn't understand them and they switched dialect to something you would expect to hear from the London area. I asked him to quote how they spoke as first
21:30:39 *** Yexo has quit IRC

21:31:13 <Bjarni> however getting an imitation from a guy, who failed to understand it isn't that precise :P
21:31:16 <ln> it's nearly impossible to understand what the hell people in London are saying.
21:31:37 <Prof_Frink> Ooo arr

21:32:12 <Eddi|zuHause> it's called "OOo"
21:32:16 <Bjarni> it sounded like "tikofa"
21:32:36 <Bjarni> that's "tik-o-fa"

21:34:19 <ben_goodger> there's some sort of automated card system...
21:34:33 <ben_goodger> I haven't had the misfortune to spend any time in london
21:35:11 <Bjarni> I was once invited to London. I had to turn down the offer because I had an exam :/
21:35:22 <ben_goodger> it's nothing particularly special
21:35:31 <Prof_Frink> yster.
21:35:41 <ln> Bjarni: bad excuse
21:35:42 *** Chrill has joined #openttd
21:35:43 <ben_goodger> Prof_Frink: that's only for the tube, surely
21:35:45 <ben_goodger> the nice bits are pretty much like the rest of the UK
21:35:50 *** Sacro has joined #openttd
21:35:51 <ben_goodger> the rest of it is very unpleasant
21:35:56 <Prof_Frink> ben_goodger: Nope, all tfl stuff
21:36:02 <Eddi|zuHause> whoever can receive it, do not turn on the channel "RTL II" right now
21:36:07 <Bjarni> then the whole cartoon thing exploded and angry Muslims walked the streets of London and requested that all Danes should die
21:36:21 <ben_goodger> what on earth is RTL?
21:36:28 <Bjarni> and that happened during that week where we had planned to go to London
21:36:29 <Prof_Frink> Right-To-Left
21:36:43 <Chrill> to me, RTL is a German TV channel
21:36:46 <ln> ben_goodger: Radio Television Luxemburg
21:36:50 <Bjarni> somehow I'm happy that I wasn't in London at the time
21:36:51 <Eddi|zuHause> "Radio Television Luxemburg"
21:37:07 <glx> I only have RTL9
21:37:08 <Chrill> German TV
21:37:32 <ben_goodger> Bjarni: I'm sure that was limited to only a few isolated streets of fascist scum-buckets^W^W^Wprotestors
21:37:36 <Eddi|zuHause> they were interviewing a guy who is "in love" with a locomotive
21:37:51 <ln> Bjarni: well no one insists you to wear danish flag while abroad?
21:38:14 <Bjarni> isn't that mandatory?
21:38:34 <Bjarni> <Eddi|zuHause> they were interviewing a guy who is "in love" with a locomotive <-- who did? and which locomotive?
21:38:37 <ben_goodger> Bjarni: yes, we have national stereotypes enforced by passport control
21:39:03 <ln> <@Bjarni> <Eddi|zuHause> they were interviewing a guy who is "in love" with a locomotive <-- who did? and which locomotive? <--- you're afraid it's cheating on you?
21:39:12 <Bjarni> lol
21:39:23 <Bjarni> no
21:39:30 <Bjarni> it's faithful
21:39:53 <ben_goodger> americans have to be over 100 kilograms to enter, and are obliged to spend all their time wandering between tourist traps
21:40:43 <Bjarni> and get upset that they can't use US dollars everywhere
21:40:52 <ln> what's a good place to visit in britain, if london has already been seen twice? and don't tell me "france".
21:40:53 <Bjarni> since they accept them in other 3rd world countries
21:41:04 <Bjarni> ln: York
21:41:05 <Prof_Frink> ln: Skye.
21:41:33 <Bjarni> Prof_Frink: what's interesting on the isle of Skye?
21:41:41 <ben_goodger> ln: canterbury, exeter, cambridge
21:41:51 <Bjarni> besides the Highland railroad lines
21:41:58 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni: Big, pointy mountains.
21:42:13 <Bjarni> isn't that the same as Scotland?
21:42:24 <Bjarni> or a brothel :P
21:42:24 <ben_goodger> er...
21:42:33 <Eddi|zuHause> you have never seen a real mountain in your life :p
21:42:40 *** fonso has left #openttd
21:42:48 <Prof_Frink> Yeah, but the rest of Scotland doesn't have a peak called the "Inaccessible Pinnacle".
21:42:57 <Bjarni> I have driven all the way around Iceland
21:43:04 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni: Pfft.
21:43:10 <ben_goodger> blast you!
21:43:11 <Bjarni> I have seen a thing or two about mountains
21:43:13 <ln> Bjarni: what, you've been to iceland?
21:43:23 <Prof_Frink> I've wheeled a trolley all the way around iceland.
21:43:24 <Eddi|zuHause> have you bought it?
21:43:27 <ben_goodger> it'll be three more years before I can get a foreign hire car
21:43:33 <Bjarni> no, I drove around Iceland, but I have never been there
21:43:35 <Bjarni> :P
21:43:40 <Bjarni> what do you think :)
21:43:55 <ln> Bjarni: google earth?
21:43:59 <Bjarni> lol
21:44:13 <ln> ben_goodger: why's that?
21:44:26 <Eddi|zuHause> all i ever saw of iceland was the airport when switching planes
21:44:47 <Bjarni> the airport is placed in the most boring part of Iceland
21:44:47 <Bjarni> [23:43:33]
21:44:52 <Bjarni> huh
21:44:53 <ben_goodger> minimum age is 21, at least for spain, which is the only country I've ever actually been to that involved hiring a car
21:44:59 <Bjarni> where did the 2nd line come from?
21:45:16 <Eddi|zuHause> frankfurt-new york and baltimore-frankfurt via iceland
21:45:24 <Bjarni> it's a timestamp... and it's even wrong
21:45:29 *** GoneWacko has quit IRC
21:45:35 <Bjarni> not to mention.... I didn't write it
21:45:38 *** snorre has quit IRC
21:45:41 *** GoneWacko has joined #openttd
21:45:46 *** snorre has joined #openttd
21:45:54 <Bjarni> I don't know about hiring cars in Iceland
21:46:01 <Bjarni> I used connections to borrow one
21:46:02 <Eddi|zuHause> it was your keylogger who is getting sentient
21:46:15 <ben_goodger> ah...
21:46:32 <Bjarni> but I have seen better cars
21:46:39 <Bjarni> 3rd gear was broken >_<
21:46:42 <ben_goodger> what was it?
21:46:46 <ln> ben_goodger: are you saying you are 17 or something?
21:47:15 <ben_goodger> ln: eighteen...and a month....and nine days...and 22 hours...ish
21:47:25 <Bjarni> the car itself was a regular car... it was just that 3rd gear was broken and you needed it all the time for the hills
21:47:34 <ben_goodger> ah
21:47:41 <ben_goodger> how can third gear be broken?
21:47:47 <ben_goodger> that's hugely confusing
21:47:49 <ln> hmm, would have expected a bit more based on what you've spoken.
21:48:09 <Bjarni> the lock that prevents it from going from 3rd gear to neutral was broken
21:48:27 <ben_goodger> the clutch? :P
21:48:28 <Bjarni> meaning you could get it in 3rd gear, but if you let go of the gear handle, it slipped into neutral
21:48:39 <Bjarni> not the clutch :P
21:48:43 <ben_goodger> ah, I see
21:48:45 <Bjarni> the other gears worked just fine
21:48:55 <ben_goodger> I'd hold it into third then, my friend
21:49:09 <Bjarni> that didn't really work well either
21:49:12 <ben_goodger> I keep my left hand on the stick all the time anyway
21:49:31 <Bjarni> the wheel is in the left side in Iceland since they drive on the right side
21:49:40 <Prof_Frink> wrong side.
21:49:58 <ben_goodger> Prof_Frink: I remind you that we English drive on the left
21:50:05 <ben_goodger> Bjarni: I know...
21:50:10 <Prof_Frink> Yes.
21:50:31 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni suggested that having the wheel on the left was somehow right.
21:50:44 <ben_goodger> well, it makes more sense, to be honest
21:50:54 <ben_goodger> decreases the cost of making the car for this market.
21:51:21 <Prof_Frink> Not if you buy a japanese car.
21:51:29 <ben_goodger> true.
21:51:43 <Bjarni> having the wheel in the left side means that you use your right hand to change gear
21:51:47 <ben_goodger> but at the moment, german manufacturers (and american ones, not that it matters) have to build separate machines to produce horizontally flipped components
21:51:54 <Bjarni> and most people prefer to use the right hand
21:52:23 <Bjarni> I have actually tried to drive a Japanese car
21:52:34 <Bjarni> with the wheel in the right side
21:52:36 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni: Yes, but changing gear doesn't require much dexterity
21:52:49 <Bjarni> that was in Iceland too.... go figure :P
21:52:51 <ben_goodger> ah
21:52:54 <Prof_Frink> Grab-pull or grab-push
21:53:16 <ben_goodger> unless you have a semi-auto :P
21:53:18 <glx> I'm used to drive with left arm only
21:53:20 <ben_goodger> flappy paddle frw
21:53:41 <Bjarni> modern transmissions doesn't require much dexterity or force
21:53:48 <Bjarni> old transmissions on the other hand....
21:54:09 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni: So you can use them left-handed, keeping fine control over steering
21:54:12 <Bjarni> <glx> I'm used to drive with left arm only <-- you know that's not only illegal, it's also dangerous
21:54:20 <glx> why?
21:54:30 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni: Pfft, I drive with no hands at times
21:54:37 <Born_Acorn> !logs

21:54:41 <ln> is the order of pedals mirrored in great britainish cars?
21:54:46 <ben_goodger> ln: nope
21:54:52 <ben_goodger> clutch, brake, accelerator
21:55:00 <Bjarni> no, but the turn signal and the vipers are
21:55:07 <Prof_Frink> vipers?
21:55:13 <Prof_Frink> Snakes In A Car!
21:55:18 <Bjarni> lol
21:55:31 <Bjarni> you know what I mean :P
21:55:32 <ben_goodger> Bjarni: actually they're not. the stalks are dependent on the manufacturing country
21:55:49 <ben_goodger> my nissan has the indicator on the left, my mother's kia has the indicator on the right
21:55:50 <Bjarni> ok, they were in the Japanese car
21:56:09 <ben_goodger> well, the japanese are clearly very clever
21:56:12 <planetmaker> Hm. Assume I have a conditional order: if (...) goto order #n
21:56:20 <planetmaker> is there a way to change n to m?
21:56:22 <Bjarni> which was a Toyota. They aren't mirrored in the Toyotas I have seen in Denmark
21:56:32 <Prof_Frink> indicators right on every car I've driven
21:56:37 <ben_goodger> hmm
21:56:49 <Prof_Frink> ...No.
21:56:49 <Bjarni> the turn indicator is left on all cars in Denmark
21:56:52 <Prof_Frink> Left.
21:57:11 <ben_goodger> heh
21:57:12 <glx> is there a danish manufacturer?
21:57:18 <ben_goodger> glx: don't be silly
21:57:18 <Bjarni> not anymore
21:57:33 <Bjarni> we used to produce different brands of cars
21:57:35 <Prof_Frink> glx: Yes, but they manufacture bacons.
21:58:21 <Bjarni> but either they went out of money and stopped or (in one case) ran out of money and was sold to a German guy, who moved everything to Germany
21:58:30 <Bjarni> we used to make quite good electric cars
21:58:41 <ben_goodger> the only manufacturers left in europe are vw, peugeot, renault, fiat, mercedes and bmw
21:58:47 <ben_goodger> to my knowledge...
21:59:26 <glx> there's also dacia
22:00:05 <ben_goodger> that's owned by renault
22:00:09 *** [com]buster has quit IRC
22:00:16 <Bjarni> http://www.brondum-data.dk/uploads/images/Ellert.JPG <-- we used to make those
22:00:26 <ln> ben_goodger: Aston Martin?
22:00:27 <ben_goodger> heheh
22:00:36 <glx> and you call that a car?
22:00:36 <ben_goodger> ln: subsidiary
22:00:37 <Bjarni> and now that German buyer is producing an improved version
22:00:40 <ben_goodger> I think...
22:00:45 <Bjarni> it's an electric car
22:00:58 <Bjarni> it's bigger than it looks and really cheap to operate
22:00:59 <ben_goodger> oh, no, it's independent
22:01:05 <ben_goodger> add aston martin to my above list.
22:01:33 <Bjarni> we made "real" cars too, but I forgot the name and google failed to find "the car that I forgot the name of"
22:01:36 <Prof_Frink> ben_goodger: ariel? noble?
22:01:53 * Prof_Frink saw two Atoms on the A34 last weekend
22:02:20 <Bjarni> Prof_Frink: with your naked eyes?
22:02:34 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni: Yes.
22:02:43 <Bjarni> get them dressed
22:02:47 <Bjarni> your eyes are indecent
22:02:48 <ben_goodger> I've never head of them
22:03:00 <Prof_Frink> ben_goodger: You've never heard of the Ariel Atom?
22:03:02 <ben_goodger> but now you have brought them up, I am prepared to accept their existence, if not their relevancy
22:03:07 <ben_goodger> nope
22:03:17 <Prof_Frink> Road-legal go-kart.
22:03:27 <Prof_Frink> Destroyed Clarkson's face.
22:03:28 <ben_goodger> yes, this may explain why I've not heard of it
22:04:04 <Prof_Frink> http://cache.jalopnik.com/cars/assets/resources/2007/06/Ariel-Atom-2-Clarkson.jpg

22:06:57 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
22:08:31 <ln> ben_goodger: one could kind of say Saab and Volvo were missing from your list too. Saab is a subsidiary of General Motors, not sure about Volvo.
22:08:45 <glx> volvo too IIRC
22:08:46 *** HerzogDeXtEr1 has quit IRC
22:09:11 <ben_goodger> volvo is owned by Ford
22:09:31 <ln> so it seems
22:09:55 <ben_goodger> I wouldn't dare denigrate sweden by omitting its car manufacturers :P
22:10:26 <ln> it's up to interpretation if the list should have GM and Ford then.
22:10:55 <ben_goodger> I'm going by headquarters location, rather than manufacturing facilities
22:11:09 <ben_goodger> and no subsidiaries of any kind
22:15:11 <ben_goodger> so I ended up with just vw, peugeot, renault, fiat, mercedes and bmw
22:15:41 <ben_goodger> though how BMW have not been acquired by VW is beyond me, as I will bet they have huge synergies [I do hate that word]

23:03:35 <ln> quite possiblé, i never finished the course i was on. :/ .. gotta take it again soon.
23:04:07 <Eddi|zuHause> well, personas is plural, so the verb has to be, too
23:04:26 <Eddi|zuHause> and porqué is emphasised on the last syllable, so it needs an accent
23:04:51 <Eddi|zuHause> the rules of spanish are actually very simple (most of the time)
23:05:10 <ln> probably so...
23:08:06 <ln> since my attempted spanish course i have been twice to the kingdom of spain.
23:09:37 <Eddi|zuHause> i've only been before my spanish course...
23:12:08 <ln> i was kind of surprised when i actually understood the price of some item i was buying spoken out.
23:13:24 <Eddi|zuHause> it's easier than in french, where, additionally to the uncommon words and ununderstandable pronounciation, you have to do weird calculations for all numbers betwenn 70 and 100
23:13:44 <ln> heh, yeah. :)
23:14:26 <ln> btw, *pronunciation
23:14:51 <Eddi|zuHause> if you say so...
23:15:24 <ln> it's odd, but that's how it's spelled.

23:19:26 <ln> "outspeech" sounds quite technical, like from the owner's manual of an android.

23:20:28 <Sacro> wtf is outspeech
23:20:32 <ln> ich weiß :) das ist auch technisch
23:21:06 <ln> Sacro: pronunciation in germanglish

23:28:35 <ln> Eddi|zuHause: ask the britons in here...
23:28:39 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... no... "bullshit" doesn't quite cover the same meaning
23:28:52 <ln> gibberish
23:29:16 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, more something like that
23:29:56 <ln> should be noted that the finnish equivalent would be "pig's german"

23:32:28 <welshdragon> (excuse the spelling)
23:32:46 <welshdragon> "fieden danke"?
23:33:04 <Eddi|zuHause> that's almost close ;)
23:33:23 <welshdragon> every time i said that in switzerland, the people woiuld grin
23:33:53 <Eddi|zuHause> don't worry, they weren't pleased, they were just making fun of you ;)
23:34:09 <welshdragon> oh?
23:34:34 <Eddi|zuHause> the phrase is actually "vielen Dank"
23:35:13 <welshdragon> ah, yes, well, i knew it was close
23:35:32 <welshdragon> but i've never seen it written before, nor know it;s meaning
23:35:57 <welshdragon> just assurances from my tour manager that the above saying was giid
23:36:04 <welshdragon> *good
23:36:11 <Eddi|zuHause> "much/many thanks" is the literal meaning
23:36:26 <ln> it's not a particularly good idea to say things whose meaning you don't know.
23:36:53 <welshdragon> i went off the assurance it was a good thing
23:36:55 <Eddi|zuHause> "ich möchte diesen teppich nicht kaufen"
23:36:55 <ln> like "allah is a dog" in arabic, or something.
23:37:10 <welshdragon> oh bollocks ><
23:37:21 <Eddi|zuHause> this phrase will get you a beer almost anywhere in germany ;)

23:38:49 <Eddi|zuHause> you poor thing :p
23:39:03 <Eddi|zuHause> ln: it's a commercial
23:39:04 <welshdragon> they taught it alongside welsh, as they are similar languages
23:39:09 <ln> m'kay
23:39:35 <Eddi|zuHause> some foreign person goes into a bavarian beer garden, and reads the phrase from his phrasebook
