Convo about me
as identifying widgets :P
16:00 < Ishpeck> Story of my life for the last decade.
16:00 < SapientSquirrel> Yeup
16:00 < SapientSquirrel> Same boat
16:00 < SapientSquirrel> Which is why I gravitate so heavily toward xpath
16:01 < SapientSquirrel> Less characters to modify in browser automation when
the changes inevitably fuck everything up
16:01 < Ishpeck> Doesn't help matters any that different browsers each rendered
the same code differently.
16:01 < SapientSquirrel> Yeahhh
16:01 < Ishpeck> Even between MSIE versions.
16:02 < Ishpeck> xpath is fine. It really isn't any different than just
document.getobjectbyid("blah")
16:03 < Ishpeck> Which, I suppose, is the number 1 reason why Phlik is in love
with JS
16:05 < Ishpeck> But really, discovering the location of a widget you already
know exists is megatrivial.
16:06 < Ishpeck> Crossing into the realm of another engine's DOM is where that
idea gets fucked up.
16:07 < Ishpeck> ... which, I suppose, is the #2 reason why Phlik is so
enamored with JS
16:11 < Ishpeck> Because when your widget discovery code is rendered within the
engine itself, it implicitly glosses over the
browser/engine-specific differences.
16:11 < SapientSquirrel> Hmm
16:11 < Ishpeck> I suppose this makes Phlik something like wise... If you're
not doing web testing in JS, you're doing it wrong.
16:12 < SapientSquirrel> That may just be the case
16:12 -!- SapientSquirrel [~asutton@67.50.46.100] has quit [Quit: Leaving.]

Magic Underware
"Everyone thinks underwear is magical. That's why advertisers use pictures of women wearing it; to evoke its magical, sales-summoning properties."

Feminists are henceforth female chauvinists
(08:34:02) Ishpeck So... is the word "douche" meant to represent the masculine version of "whore?"
(08:34:14) Phlik i don't know
(08:34:25) Phlik i always think of it as the thing a woman uses to clean them selves
(08:34:45) Ishpeck For a douche ends up nestled in only the filthiest of twats and discerns them all the same... that indescriminate nature seems rather whore-like.
(08:35:00) Phlik lol
(08:35:27) Ishpeck Has our culture finally evolved to the point of recognizing whoredom in men?
(08:35:37) Phlik lol
(08:35:38) Phlik yes
(08:35:43) Phlik but that aplaude it usually
(08:35:46) Phlik points to rock starts
(08:35:53) Ishpeck Alright, feminists may all consider their work done.
(08:37:57) Ishpeck From henceforth, all persons assuming the title "feminist activist" are now just female chauvinists.
(08:38:10) Phlik lol
(08:38:20) Ishpeck Because we've reached equity.
(08:38:33) Ishpeck And any further pushing in womens' favor is inequitable.
