Considering what people consider modern and performance art these days, you might get a few rounds of applauses before someone actualy arrests you :v

Could we not go there? I'd hate to rant about 95% of you being ignorant buffoons again.

[TD1]

Buffoonery is a way of life you just don't understand, Helgo. It's sad, really - it is a liberating lifestyle. I'm surprised you haven't lived it before, given it's usually accessed through drink.

Didn't exactly that happen rather recently (within last two months)? I remember reading about it in a news headline... Googling tells me something like that did happen.
Oh look, I even found a webcomic on Russian Bash.org about it (translated for public convenience):

For the record, I do understand that the moniker "modern art" is often applied to an array of styles and movements, most of which aren't completely ridiculous.
Doesn't mean I will refrain from buffoonery about the whole shebang, though.

...by the way, what the hell is with the word "shebang"? Who is the she being banged/doing the banging and what does she and her exploits have to do with anything?

I guess that the history for the word shebang goes pretty deep.

I'm at least somewhat sure I saw a news headline about some person having a stroke or suffering in a way or another in some public place, and then people around just watching and clapping because they thought it was performance art :v

And my tolerance for performance/modern art is pretty up there, mind you, as in, genesis p orridge up there, but things just tend to get overly ridiculous (and lazy) these days in regards to anything under the moniker of modern or performance art. I do hope we still live in an age people having critical opinions of ~art~ is acceptable, or did we already ban everything critical, including the thinking sort?

Hmm.
To fret.

Can I get some help with some data entry?
I'm trying to predict release schedules by using the word count of the release announcements, and it's a pain in the ass to do by myself.

Just pick an unexamined release, find it in the log, record the date, record the total word count of the non-yellow post, the word count of the features, and the word count of the bug fixes.

Even a little bit of help goes a long way! Thanks!

Edit: The project's mostly a failure, because the data set I tried to gather didn't really actually help at all. Feel free to mess around with it, though.

AAHHH HELP!

Spoiler: Which one should I order?! (click to show/hide)

Edit: Never mind, I had to hurry up and make a choice. I'm proud of myself. I can always buy the other one another time...

What is the simplest executable IRC client available? I'm not interested in any bells and whistles, just connecting to rooms and chatting.

[Rolan7]

I use Chatzilla because it was an easy install (Firefox extension), but there are probably simpler ones.  MIRC always sounded like the most popular, so probably easy and simple.
