This is a conversation I had last night when a guy rezed nukes in the sandbox. Please forgive my spelling, I suck at it, and my real attention was on my other computer where I was busily working on a companies server remotely. I have to say that normally, I would just ban the guy, and go on my way, however, this sounded too good to pass up. But I want to start this off with a quote from Ghostbusters, I'm sure most of you will remember the scene.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Alice, I'm going to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay? Have you or any of your family been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetant?
Librarian Alice: My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'd call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using drugs? Stimulants? Alcohol?
Librarian Alice: No.
Dr. Peter Venkman: No, no. Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?
Library Administrator: What's has that got to do with it?
Dr. Peter Venkman: Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

And here was my funny convo tonight

[19:42] Arthur Fermi: No weapons
[19:43] Arthur Fermi: do that again and your banned
[19:43] Ernest Finkler: they your are
[19:43] Ernest Finkler: is this not a sandbox
[19:43] Ernest Finkler: I was told this is a nice place to work
[19:43] Arthur Fermi: yes, its a weapons free sandbox
[19:43] Arthur Fermi: it is, not with nukes
[19:43] Ernest Finkler: oh dear sir that not a weapon
[19:43] Arthur Fermi: you rezed nukes
[19:43] Arthur Fermi: they are weapons
[19:44] Ernest Finkler: Nukes?
[19:44] Ernest Finkler: I am a scientist in real life
[19:44] Arthur Fermi: rockets, call em what you want, they don't belong here
[19:44] Ernest Finkler: and take offence to the idea of rockets being nukes
[19:44] Ernest Finkler: I am sorry then for breaking the rules
[19:44] Ernest Finkler: I did not realize that science was not welcome here
[19:44] Arthur Fermi: Its ok, if it wasn't I would ban you
[19:45] Arthur Fermi: lol, a rack of rockets is science
[19:45] Ernest Finkler: Any reccomendations as to a scientifically orientates sandbox/
[19:45] Arthur Fermi: btw, make sure your rockets don't have an object name of nuke
[19:45] Arthur Fermi: yes, the linden sandboxes
[19:45] Ernest Finkler: they do not have the name nuke
[19:46] Ernest Finkler: wll this science experiment is server related
[19:46] Ernest Finkler: the linden sandboxes are incompatible
[19:46] Arthur Fermi: lol, so you are goign to see what, if my sandbox crashes? I would prefer we don't preform tests on my sim either
[19:47] Ernest Finkler: well the havok 4s are coming out now
[19:47] Ernest Finkler: I am running stress tests on the top sandboxes to assertain the rea"real improvement"
[19:47] Ernest Finkler: of the havok 4a
[19:47] Arthur Fermi: first, you should not screw up someones sim for your test
[19:47] Arthur Fermi: this isn't havok 4 enables
[19:48] Ernest Finkler: exactly
[19:48] Arthur Fermi: and tests like that should be done on the beta grid
[19:48] Ernest Finkler: i am comparing a existing server to a havok four
[19:48] Arthur Fermi: so you want to see if you can crash my sim for your test, your a piece of work
[19:48] Ernest Finkler: to assertain weather it is useful for owners like yourself to switch over
[19:48] Ernest Finkler: no
[19:48] Ernest Finkler: my rockets have a kill switch
[19:48] Ernest Finkler: I stress it for a few seconds
[19:48] Arthur Fermi: they aren't going off here
[19:49] Ernest Finkler: then kill the test
[19:49] Arthur Fermi: what gives you the right?
[19:49] Ernest Finkler: Roght?
[19:49] Ernest Finkler: Right?
[19:49] Arthur Fermi: to go screw up peoples sims
[19:49] Arthur Fermi: for your test
[19:49] Ernest Finkler: I apologize you seem to misunderstand
[19:49] Arthur Fermi: not at all you want to stress test my sim
[19:49] Ernest Finkler: You are obviously not as educated as you need to be to discuss this with me.
[19:49] Arthur Fermi: roflmao
[19:50] Ernest Finkler: No offense many are not able enough
[19:50] Arthur Fermi: I'm sure you are way smarter than I am, go blow up someone elses sandbox
[19:50] Ernest Finkler: Well i will go
[19:50] Ernest Finkler: but i would appreciate it if you would not refer to my experiments in terms like
[19:50] Ernest Finkler: blow up nuke
[19:50] Ernest Finkler: crash
[19:50] Ernest Finkler: destroy
[19:51] Arthur Fermi: yes, well, it sucks for you that I feel that way
[19:51] Ernest Finkler: they are highl;y slanderous and offensive words in the scientific community
[19:51] Arthur Fermi: if you can show me a white paper of what you are doing how you are testing, provide a copy of yoru scripts, the method you are using for testing and measuring, and the results of the previous tests I might be more inclined to help you. But since I'm not very smart, I wouldn't know how to do testing formally
[19:52] Ernest Finkler: Ok i understand
[19:52] Ernest Finkler: I would be happy to provide you with documentation
[19:52] Ernest Finkler: As before i am in no way opffending you
[19:53] Arthur Fermi: well I'm not smart enough, surprisingly that is offensive
[19:53] Ernest Finkler: I am kind of a lab guy and am not too good with word choices at times
[19:53] Ernest Finkler: I dont deal with non scientists often
[19:53] Arthur Fermi: lol, yeah, right
[19:53] Ernest Finkler: Makes me a hit at thanksgiving
[19:53] Ernest Finkler: :)
[19:54] Arthur Fermi: being in SL for 1 day I'm sure your an expert, btw, why are you using someone elses "rockets" for your experiment?
[19:54] Ernest Finkler: I found this particular rocket
[19:54] Ernest Finkler: Its open source and i needed an object
[19:54] Ernest Finkler: also i am an alt
[19:55] Arthur Fermi: an object is easy to create
[19:55] Ernest Finkler: i assumed that individuals like yourselves would automatically consider me a greefer
[19:55] Arthur Fermi: and I do
[19:55] Ernest Finkler: I did not want to was time with the physics script
[19:55] Ernest Finkler: As iss your right
[19:55] Arthur Fermi: who is your normal AV?
[19:55] Arthur Fermi: and why not use him?
[19:55] Ernest Finkler: Intelligence comes from not ruling anything out without firm facts
[19:55] Arthur Fermi: if it were a real experiment, why not contacting owners first
[19:56] Ernest Finkler: Arthur Fermi: and I do
[19:56] Ernest Finkler: that statement says it all
[19:56] Arthur Fermi: you didn't contact me first, you jsut rezed your "rockets" and on your way
[19:56] Ernest Finkler: I need the data and there are so amny griefers that i thought that i could get in do it and leave without anyone knowing the better
[19:57] Ernest Finkler: Apparently i was wroung
[19:57] Arthur Fermi: doesn't sound very scientific? are you taking in to account the other objects on teh sim?
[19:57] Arthur Fermi: the script and prim load?
[19:57] Arthur Fermi: prim per meter?
[19:57] Ernest Finkler: well understand that to accurately do this i need to test a few hundred sims
[19:57] Ernest Finkler: i dont have anough time to play politician
[19:57] Arthur Fermi: how about the number of active colissions in the sim at the tiem of the test?
[19:57] Arthur Fermi: lol, why is the world ending soon?
[19:58] Ernest Finkler: ending
[19:58] Ernest Finkler: I am quite a busy person
[19:58] Arthur Fermi: do you know if your script produces physical interactions or is just particles?
[19:58] Arthur Fermi: oh I'm sure you are
[19:58] Ernest Finkler: sl is simply a unit in the googleplex i call my life
[19:59] Ernest Finkler: It usics physics and particles
[19:59] Arthur Fermi: but lets get back to the science, if you don't kow the prim load, script load, and active colissions, how can you compare from server to server?
[19:59] Ernest Finkler: to give a good stress test
[19:59] Arthur Fermi: and havok 4 has no relevnace in particles
[19:59] Ernest Finkler: thats why i selected the objecvt i did
[19:59] Arthur Fermi: a nuke
[19:59] Arthur Fermi: dude your full of shit, I'm glad my feet are off the ground
[19:59] Ernest Finkler: It has a full physics script /particles / a physical being
[20:00] Ernest Finkler: and 100 of them really give a sim a run for its ,money
[20:00] Ernest Finkler: I do not appreciate profanity sir
[20:00] Arthur Fermi: yeah, they are nukes
[20:00] Arthur Fermi: I don't give a rats ass what you aprreciate
[20:00] Ernest Finkler: I have shown nothing but cooperation with you tonight
[20:00] Arthur Fermi: your no scientist
[20:00] Arthur Fermi: and I have humored you
[20:00] Ernest Finkler: well i no longer have time to explain myself
[20:01] Ernest Finkler: but let me say that i will no longer be visiting this sim
[20:01] Arthur Fermi: let me see if I can find a tear ... nope
[20:01] Ernest Finkler: ok
[20:01] Ernest Finkler: its people like you the hinder great efforts
[20:02] Arthur Fermi: lol, great efforts, setting off nukes to "stress test sims" when you can't compare one sim you set things off to another
[20:02] Arthur Fermi: you don't have any of the relevant sim info
[20:03] Ernest Finkler: you mean that you did not give it to me
[20:03] Ernest Finkler: I do have grid data
[20:03] Ernest Finkler: the public release portion at least the linden gives to university researchers
[20:03] Ernest Finkler: Thats how i selected thesims that i would visit
[20:04] Ernest Finkler: I have offered you a write up
[20:04] Ernest Finkler: but apparently you do not want it
[20:05] Arthur Fermi: I've seen teh public release and it won't tell you anything about the status of the sim at this moment ... so kinda sucks ... any rate, yoru gone, take your nukes elsewhere, I'm warning my sandbox friends of you
[20:05] Ernest Finkler: POk i appreciate you destroying my research
[20:05] Ernest Finkler: I stopped the experiment when you said to
[20:05] Arthur Fermi: lol, your research
[20:06] Ernest Finkler: I have been not hostile one bit
[20:06] Ernest Finkler: I have tried to explain what i am doin
[20:06] Arthur Fermi: no you didn't I sent 2 no wepaons out and you rezed another set
[20:06] Ernest Finkler: you dont seem to comprehend
[20:06] Arthur Fermi: why don't you just look at the havok engine and it will obvious the difference
[20:06] Ernest Finkler: some green lettering popped up and said no weapons
[20:06] Arthur Fermi: I comprehend well, you are clueless
[20:06] Ernest Finkler: the guy next to me had 3 guns out
[20:06] Arthur Fermi: and you figured it didn't mean anything
[20:06] Ernest Finkler: green lettering is public
[20:06] Arthur Fermi: they were on not out
[20:07] Ernest Finkler: so i assumed him as i did not have a single weapon resed
[20:07] Arthur Fermi: so are stop signs
[20:07] Arthur Fermi: you had nukes, they are named nukes
[20:07] Ernest Finkler: are they really
[20:07] Ernest Finkler: ?
[20:07] Arthur Fermi: yes
[20:07] Ernest Finkler: Hmmmm
[20:07] Ernest Finkler: I wonder why
[20:07] Ernest Finkler: ohhhhh
[20:07] Arthur Fermi: because tehya re nukes
[20:07] Ernest Finkler: i added the wroung rocket
[20:08] Ernest Finkler: thank you sir
[20:08] Ernest Finkler: you actually saved me some time believe it or not
[20:08] Arthur Fermi: ya ya
[20:08] Ernest Finkler: I would have hated to get my data with the wroung version
[20:08] Arthur Fermi: I don't even care
[20:08] Ernest Finkler: ok
[20:08] Ernest Finkler: well you are to be commended you run a very nice sim here
[20:09] Ernest Finkler: a bit racy in the content categorey but overall a very nice place to work
[20:09] Ernest Finkler: I used to come here often
[20:09] Ernest Finkler: But again i hope that i have not caused and problems
[20:09] Ernest Finkler: i assure you that it was not my intent
[20:09] Ernest Finkler: and i wish you a very pleasent evening
[20:09] Arthur Fermi: thank you, you too
[20:10] Arthur Fermi: you are welcome here any time, no weapons, no testing
