	“Why do you keep fast food napkins in the crack between the passenger seat and the console in your car?”
	“For when I spill things, of course! Haven’t you ever spilled a drink while you were driving?”
	“No.”
	“Exactly!”
	“Exactly… what?”
	“That’s why they’re useful.”
	“I don’t get it. I said ‘no.’”
	“Ahh, I see. You expected me to actually listen to your response.”
	“… Uh, duh?”
	“No, no no no. That’s a silly thing to do.”
	“Yeah, it’s totally silly to listen to the response when you ask someone a question.”
	“Don’t be sarcastic at me, I’m serious! Why do you ask people questions when making an argument?”
	“To further said argument?”
	“Yes, of course. Now, consider this. I find that, about fifty percent of the time when I’m making an argument, questions asked of the argue–ee will contribute to your making of your point. However, the flip side of that, is a further fifty percent (or so) of the time, they will instead derail your argument when the response is not what you expected.”
	“Yeah, uh, that’s kinda obvious.”
	“Hence why I ignore the response! I find if I completely ignore the answer to the question, it will contribute to my argument one hundred percent of the time! Have you ever had an argument derailed by somebody giving you an answer you didn’t expect?”
	“No.”
	“Exactly!”

Handax:	Because 1) the CDKEY payment methond didnt work on several browsers!!!! and wehn i asked for advice ingame someone told me that he done the same and got 60 days! i thougt he was an employee form CCP. my noobness
Helene Ling:	an employee that has to put in cd keys?
Tucker 22:	what the HELL is <b><url=showinfo:25538>Nanite Control</url></b>, and why is it 500m for a 2x skill!
Handax:	he was jsut somebody who wanted to help me
Kiri Serrensun:	Tucker: Because it's so rare.
Handax:	no i thoguht it was an employee from CCP who wanted to guide me
Tucker 22:	Kiri: So it doesn‘t spawn normally? What‘s it good for?
Handax:	ofc not Helene!
Nazguul:	Han, ok, you had some crappy advice then - nothing you can do but wait for your petition to go through...
Handax:	thats what i'm telling all time
Sam Teller:	Sounds like you made a mistake Handax, you're going to have to wait for your petition to go through. =/ Please stop ranting aobut how it's all CCP's fault, no one can help you here
Nazguul:	Han, is your petiton showing up as in the system?
Kiri Serrensun:	Tucker: It probably turns up in exploration sites. It's good for reducing side effects. Expensive to you, but for a Titan pilot looking to maximise his armour-repair booster, it could be a decent investment.
Handax:	i know how webpages work.... thats my job anyway.... So i went to the CDKEY payemnt method. Which is not working. it returns u without a message on teh same activation page
Handax:	yes its showing up as OPEN
Helene Ling:	well either way, no one here can fix it
Helene Ling:	so might as well enjoy the game
Tucker 22:	lol "that's my job anyway"
Tucker 22:	.me giggles
Handax:	whats so funny Tucker?
Handax:	I'm a web developer
DeVelyvion Melicor:	lol nice
Mewerick Knight:	helene: :D:D
Tucker 22:	lol web developer
Prince Sogon:	wow - haven't seen one of those in awhile
Tucker 22:	"u" are a web developer, eh?
Handax:	ye. whats so funny
Helene Ling:	with what email address did you register?
Helene Ling:	maybe you can retrieve it by that
Handax:	ckoulatsi@gmail.com
Helene Ling:	need username for that though
Tucker 22:	Maybe it‘s just me, but I find most web developers / designers to be a bit more stylish / intelligent than the average person who types "u" instead of "you."
Helene Ling:	that you got from Eve I mean, it probably has the account name
Handax:	well i use the web since day one.... so spare me that crap
Tucker 22:	You "use the web since day one," really? I see.
Tucker 22:	Good to know.
Helene Ling:	lol
Tucker 22:	I bet he‘s a PHP developer. giggles to self quietly
Handax:	i dont understand your atitude tucker....
Sam Teller:	I understand his attitude >_>
Kogi Shimata:	i remember the days pre-www when we used grammar and spelling... oh, and capitalization but i largely dumped that for MMOs
Handax:	well php too
Tucker 22:	Totally, Kogi.
Helene Ling:	what on earth gave you the idea webdevelopers are automatically intelligent?
Helene Ling:	probably the fact you are one yourself
Kogi Shimata:	...well, the ones i know personally are pretty sharp
Tucker 22:	Kogi: But my beef isn‘t with that. I gave up on that (and proper typography, which is even more lacking) a while back. I‘m just astounded at the quality of person which sees fit to call themselves a "web developer" nowadays.
Sam Teller:	Anyone can be a web developer. <_<
Sackimus Ballzoy:	lol
GM Zhainius:	Right, this channels topic is eve-related help, it is not programming speak, nor I was on the internets before you talk
GM Zhainius:	Please get back on topic
Tucker 22:	/emote hides
Stekan Fusce:	Haha
Tucker 22:	(for future reference, that convo is so going on my Tumblr)
Annhalite:	blimey, its a real GM
Tucker 22:	Zhainius actually shows up in here fairly often iirc.
Handax:	well thx for your irony Tucker and thx for those who tried to help. i'm off. Good night.

bait 'n' switch to the elliottcable platform

elliottcable:	I've developed an interesting habit, it seems, over my time as a coder.
elliottcable:	I usually don't like the way things are done, in general. I seem to disagree with people a lot.
elliottcable:	My solution thusfar, has been to work like a maniac to make myself indespensible in said community; then produce an assload of really useful shit.
greyface:	heh tell me about it
elliottcable:	But then I go and make that shit require that the people do things my way.
elliottcable:	I essentially write "coder DRM".
greyface:	it's a bit of a problem though
greyface:	like, I just can't use most of the libraries out there
greyface:	cause when I look at the code
greyface:	I'm like, err no - there's a better way to do that
elliottcable:	I make the Sugar manager, and the Ruby sugar, and the Regex sugar - and I make them all awesome - but I require that you do things my way. It's sort of a bait and switch.
greyface:	lol
greyface:	hehe
greyface:	a bait to switch to the elliottcable platform
elliottcable:	fuck yes
elliottcable:	I'm going to quote you on that somewhere, somewhen

I am sharing my code. I am not launching an open source project. I am not beginning a search for like minded developers to avoid duplication of efforts. I am not showing up at someone else’s door hat in hand, asking for commit access.
