[02:04]	<Cipher> hi
[03:12]	<evitable> i know there's math nerds in here!
[03:12]	<evitable> i just had a funny experience
[03:13]	<evitable> you probably know how incendiary the .999... repeating = 1 argument is on the internet ya?
[03:13]	<evitable> so i was making some silly comment about pluto being a planet, and the guys i was talking to didn't catch on
[03:14]	<evitable> i related the pluto thing to more and more obvious trolls, ending with the .999 = 1 thing
[03:14]	<evitable> the people i was talking to "got it", but since my mind was now on this track, i thought of something interesting and shared it:
[03:15]	<evitable> 80,69424130  __.999...
[03:15]	<evitable> 80,694241309| 9.000
[03:15]	<evitable> 80,69424130  -8.1
[03:15]	<evitable> 80,69424130    .90
[03:15]	<evitable> 80,69424130   -.81
[03:15]	<evitable> 80,69424130    .090
[03:15]	<evitable> 80,69424130   -.081
[03:15]	<evitable> 80,69424130    .009
[03:15]	<evitable> ..which inadvertently set off a .999 = 1 debate, though it wasn't my original intent hehe 
[03:16]	<Cipher> so you mean there are real people in this channel?
[03:16]	<Cipher> :)
[03:16]	<evitable> o yes
[03:16]	<evitable> sometimes
[03:17]	<Cipher> i guess i'll idle here, might catch some interesting banter
[03:17]	<Cipher> ftr, ima math geek
[03:17]	<evitable> ha
[03:18]	<Cipher> so is anyone still active with corewar?
[03:18]	<evitable> somewhat so, i hear
[03:18]	<evitable> i am a noob here, so i've been playing around on the beginner hill
[03:19]	<evitable> but there isn't much of anyone to play *with* atm
[03:19]	<evitable> so you should play too!
[03:19]	<Cipher> i had planned on it
[03:19]	<Cipher> need to download the necessary software
[03:20]	<Cipher> i think I have a good enough handle on redcode to at least make a basic warrior
[03:20]	<Cipher> how have you  fared on the beginner hill?
[03:22]	<evitable> K. Reeves <- my warriors
[03:22]	<evitable> i've yet to write anything decent really i guess
[03:23]	<evitable> seeing as how miz's halfassed warrior still owns slot #1
[03:23]	<evitable> ;)
[03:23]	<evitable> well, i don't mean halfassed effort-wise, just it wasn't intended to own everything i think

[20:50]	<fiveop> bvowk: here?
[21:12]	<bvowk> yes.
[21:12]	<bvowk> 'Sup?
[21:13]	<fiveop> gold
[21:13]	<fiveop> 24 hour gold
[21:14]	<fiveop> what are the caveats?
[21:14]	MSG: <CoreOld> Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com
[21:18]	<bvowk> not much.
[21:18]	<bvowk> http://www.kitco.com/images/live/gold.gif
[21:18]	<bvowk> today was a *GOOD* day for me :)
[21:18]	<bvowk> bullionvault.com is your friend.
[21:18]	<bvowk> it's got an xml interface too.. and the commission is really cheap.
[21:19]	<fiveop> http://www.kitco.com/images/live/gold.gif omg
[21:19]	<fiveop> well you just linked it to me :P
[21:19]	<bvowk> heh
[21:19]	<fiveop> apparently it was roughly a 10% increase
[21:20]	<fiveop> so
[21:20]	<bvowk> yup
[21:20]	<bvowk> and for a change I actually nailed the valley.
[21:20]	<fiveop> I would've made a whopping 3,6k euro
[21:20]	<bvowk> not so good at catching those..
[21:21]	<fiveop> naild the valley?
[21:22]	<fiveop> hm
[21:23]	<bvowk> yes, I bought at the low point
[21:24]	<fiveop> which was?
[21:24]	<bvowk> not long ago.. 
[21:24]	<bvowk> ~720ish
