[12:14] not really... [12:14] started a new little fun project, non-cw [12:15] Trying to implement a new compression algorithm I thought of, but it probably won't be very good [12:15] But compression, how small it is, is funny to create :) [12:16] And you? [12:20] got my vordiplom [12:21] and now studies go on ;) [12:43] vordiplom hehe [12:43] I understand that (pre-diplom) [12:43] It's a 'zwischenprüfung' ;) [12:44] intermediate exam [12:44] yeah [12:45] A quite good one ;) [12:45] we have that too here, after two years you need to 'pass' to continue [12:45] continue to the 'main' study [12:45] that's the same here [12:45] 4 semesters of 'basic studies' (Grundstudium) and on you go to your main studies (if you pass this exam) [12:46] passed it with 1.2 ;) (best ist 1.0 worst to pass 4.0) [12:46] If everyting works out now, I might get funded by the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes [12:46] +h [12:55] hehe, you scared me, we use 1.0 (lowest) to 10 (highest) here :o [12:55] ;) [12:56] Everybody that studies gets 'Studie financiering' here [12:56] Here only people who's parents don't earn enough [12:56] Depends on where/how you live how much you get :) [12:56] Ah, and that too [12:57] But everybody gets something, I got about 60 euro and free public transport, but I have wealthy parents and I lived at home [12:57] Why should someone (like me) get money, if his parents/grandparents have no problem to support him. [12:57] If you have your own place, or live at a dorm of something you can get up to 200 euro a month [12:58] We get free public transport in a small (~30km) radius around the university, too [12:58] Well, they don't want people to stop working because they don't have money to buy stuff and party, so they give some money [12:59] uhh stop studying > to work [12:59] ;) [12:59] The students love it anyway and get a bit lazy, but most finish school ;) [12:59] that's why people who can't afford it on their own get money (called bafög ;)) [13:01] Its very stupid anyway, first the goverment gives you 60 euro a month, and at the end of the year the ask about 1500 euro because you study :)... so my parents told me I should pay for my study thus had no money :( [13:01] hi boys [13:01] it's a interest free credit where you've to pay 50% back, after you've got an enough money yealding job [13:01] Roy: in germany they just started to take money from the students ... [13:01] Yeah, btw, the money they give to everybody here you don't have to repay it unless you drop out [13:02] I think its around 500 € max half a year [13:02] +for [13:02] there are many demonstrations of students in germany [13:03] because of this [13:04] If you compare it to other countries, even ~1000 € a month are not that much [13:05] that would be around 6000 € a year for everything (food, a room, studies, etc.) [13:05] I plan to go studing in GB a year, which would cost around 15k € [13:05] and 3000 of that only for tution fees [13:06] ... ;) [13:06] i get 100e a month (still live with parents, so no living payment etc) [13:06] but school doesnt cost a thing, i dont have to pay it back (unless you count taxes), and government pays 50% of travel and school-food [13:07] The european nothern countries have the best social support systems afaik [13:07] and the most stable ;) [13:17] Nobody complains here, I especially like the freedom they give you with providing free public transport, I just loved that... travelling to the Uni by train for free instead of paying 200e a month for tickets [13:24] I walk to the Uni [13:27] Now on to some homework checking [13:27] Heh lucky you... but you can't take a intercity to Berlin to go out a weekend :) [13:28] (for free) [13:29] Hmm, I actually really like the bomber I wrote on r.g.c in a couple of minutes.. might work it out further! [13:29] no [13:30] hm no homework checking today ... Have to buy a sharpener first [13:32] http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/#00001007 [13:34] hehe [13:36] hehe nice!

[15:49] h [15:49] Hi Roy, Mizcu [15:50] yay, i almost thought of something during lessons today [15:51] too lazy to go fetch the notebook so id better just try to recall from memory [15:51] :-) [16:01] hmm, not bad from something just thrown from the hip, though it doesnt work exactly as i wanted to.. [16:01] (how often something works well even when working wrong?) [16:01] (Certain types of papers maybe, but they dont count) [16:04] papers are incarnations of chaos [16:04] that is quite true [16:05] You can plan on what the do the first two or three generations [16:05] but what happens after is subject to hope and prayers :P [16:05] inversed might want to disagree on that though [16:06] +y [16:07] everything "new" scanner today is zooom, zoom here zoooom there, bleh [16:08] :-/ [16:08] this outburst because i dont think the current structure can be turned such -_- [16:13] hmm. hmm hmm. [16:14] Okay, need to go [16:14] Maybe back later [16:14] * John waves [16:14] MSG: Quit: mov.i #1,1 [16:21] nope, doesnt look like zoomable [16:36] lets see if couple hours of optimax can do anything.. [16:39] 111 and rising.. [16:41] MSG: Quit: dat [16:46] omg, 5 point jump [16:46] 5 point jump? [16:47] in optimax scores [16:47] quite sensitive, this one is [16:55] damnit [16:55] almost perfect tweak, but doesnt work [17:17] Join: willvarfa joined #corewars [17:18] hi will [17:19] hello miz [17:19] all well? [17:19] quite yes [17:20] brb, shopping [17:21] online? [17:22] nah, offline [17:22] crikey, taking a walk? [17:22] doubly daring :-) [17:23] its raining something between snow and rain outside, but what a geek wouldnt do for a coke.. [17:24] as in the drink? [17:24] yah [17:25] snow coming over here from your direction; guessing finland gets a blanket of snow too [17:25] no shit [17:25] theres already inch on the ground [17:25] they had 1m up in the north last week [17:25] down here in the very south, it has only dropped just below 0c two nights ago [17:26] bit of a big difference really [17:27] but now brb [17:44] i is back [17:45] welcome back miz [17:45] goddamnit, not again [17:45] i already restarted optimax just before i left because the results of phase 2 got too high [17:45] and now the topscore is 172 again, with more difficult bench [17:51] time for me to go [17:51] bbye [17:51] got some carpentry to do [17:51] * willvarfa waves [17:51] MSG: Remote host closed the connection [18:30] Join: Fluffy joined #corewars [18:30] :) [18:31] aye [18:32] ?? [18:32] Mizcu, have you watched too many pirate movies? [18:34] nay [18:34] only pirated [18:34] lol [18:35] That reminds me of the most stupid toy that I've ever seen! [18:35] It is called "Pirate Cars" [18:35] As if "pirates" would have known cars [18:38] hrm, i lack the "magic touch" [18:38] And what did you want to "touch magically"? [18:39] a scanner [18:50] grembgrejh [18:50] ok, now I really hate imps! [18:50] I've started with a really simple vortex launcher. [18:50] o rly [18:51] and whenever I think that I've found a good modification it kills itself after a couple of steps :( [18:53] hehe ... and now it even kills the imps that have already been launched [18:53] the launcher or spiral [18:53] the launcher [18:53] then your coding sucks [18:53] Yes, I've already noticed, but that doesn't keep me from trying [18:54] the spiral dies, not bad, the launcher dies, your code bucks [18:55] Maybe I should publish the code to win a contest of the best suicide warrior ever ;-) [18:55] *of->for [18:55] you have a pump in the launcher? [18:55] or pre-thrown imps? [18:56] pre-thrown [18:57] your launcher doublesocks [18:57] It does what? [19:00] yeees.. [19:09] *pssht* Its 9pm, and both of our coding sucks, everything normal it seems, over. *psht* [19:10] Fortunately it is 8pm here! [19:13] nitpick [19:14] Thanks! [19:34] Wow! That's what I call stupid. I've modified and modified the implauncher. And what do I get? [19:35] the launcher that I've started with [20:22] I've been stupid enough for today [20:22] * Fluffy waves [20:22] MSG: Quit: fluffy.i < 1, # 42 [23:41] MSG: Quit: Lost terminal
