=== mrmonday [n=mrmonday@89.242.67.211] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [12:28] hello [12:28] hello [12:30] Hello [12:30] im sure i recognise your name from somewhere [12:31] *boredandblogging [12:31] ummm [12:32] i've posted on the magazine thread [12:32] thats probably where i've seen you then [12:32] cool [12:32] you are working on that, right? [12:32] yup [12:32] very cool [12:32] i try to work on the UWN [12:33] ive got an article up now on a wiki [12:33] very cool [12:33] UWN? [12:33] were you part of the team that tried to do this the last time? [12:33] hey mrmonday [12:33] Ubuntu Weekly News [12:33] ok [12:33] mrmonday: nice installing software article, btw [12:33] thanks [12:33] what do you think? [12:34] it is exactly the level of detail an average users magazine needs [12:34] thanks [12:34] I have to go now [12:34] bye [12:34] no worries, come back soonish [12:35] that is pretty good [12:38] :( [12:39] whats up mu [12:39] muxecoid, [12:40] Offtopic, but... It'd be cool to organize DDOS-like e-mail attacks on support of web-services that fail to work in Firefox. [12:41] hah [12:41] 50% of local eShops work improperly in Firefox [12:41] muxecoid: no, that is illegal [12:42] please don't discuss illegal things in publicly logged channels [12:42] Is it really illegal? === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [12:43] yes, ddos' are illegal [12:44] One posts s "flashmob request" in high-traffic FF place. Each person who decides to support just sends a couple of FF-related e-mails to shop's or bank's support e-mail. [12:44] Nothing is illegal here yet, e-mail is public and people are asking for support [12:45] DDOS on human support "component", not just overloading server hardware [12:45] right, that is not a ddos [12:45] It is DDOS-like [12:46] that is consumer action, a totally different thing [12:46] do not conflate them [12:49] Consumer action is when consumers send mails. When you encourage non-consumers to join it is more like DDOS [12:50] no, again, don't conflate the two [12:51] ddos is an illegal action [12:51] Who cares about legality outside Japan and USA anyway? ;) [12:51] if want to change somebodies mind, illegal actions or appearances therein are not the way to do it, for the most part [12:52] ok, you are not seeing the point [12:52] RIAA is the greatest fan of "legal actions" [12:52] ugh [12:52] you really are not seeing the point [12:53] ASL? [12:54] Chinese Internet is the least Linux-friendly, I guess it would be cool to pick one Chinese bank, find their support and webmaster e-mails and do something. Just as proof of concept. Would "Ask Slashdot" section editors agree? [12:54] look, I don't disagree with sending emails to a bank [12:54] just quit calling it a ddos [12:54] it isn't and using the term is only going to land you in hot water [12:54] Consumer action, OK. [12:55] Are you American? [12:55] no, Canadian [12:56] Let's call it CND which is "CND is Not DDOS" === BHSPitLappy [n=steve-o@adsl-66-142-171-220.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === muxecoid did not want his joke to be offensive. [01:07] anyone know if they are going to recreate the magazine using an open source solution instead of adobe? that doesn't look good if you ask me [01:08] nixternal: what do you mean? using scribus? [01:08] well in the magazine, beta 2 I think it is, there is an adobo acrobat image saying it was used to create the magazine [01:08] s/adobo/adobe/ [01:08] lol, really? [01:08] they actually used acrobat? [01:09] Burgwork: that is what they say [01:09] I merely thought that was the reader [01:09] I emailed the list and nobody commented [01:09] Nope, says Adobe Acrobat 5 [01:09] hmm [01:09] and it is posted in forums and elsewhere [01:09] I noticed it the other day, emailed the list about it, and today quite a few people in other communities have been poking huge fun at it [01:13] and even if it was the Reader, doesn't the creator know about evince, xpdf, kpdf, ghostview and such? [01:15] i posted to the thread about it [01:15] I did too, but.. [01:15] well, if they keep ignoring it... [01:15] nobody answers my emails anyways [01:15] hehe [01:15] heh === freelancer317 [n=bfledder@pool-71-251-145-226.hrbgpa.fios.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === muxecoid is leaving === muxecoid [n=muxecoid@85-250-39-62.bb.netvision.net.il] has left #ubuntu-marketing [] === rrittenhouse [n=tad@unaffiliated/rrittenhouse] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === linuxgeekery- [n=nfruchte@ppp-70-253-211-63.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Knightlust [n=DaxSolom@203.87.200.214] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === theCore [n=alex@ubuntu/member/theCore] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [05:23] beuno: you around? === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === datten_ [n=datten@xdsl-81-173-158-227.netcologne.de] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === datten_ is now known as datten === rexbron [n=rexbron@CPE001310b2d1d1-CM0012256e816a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyy [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === poningru [n=poningru@pool-72-64-214-241.tampfl.fios.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Cnl_Delta [i=Cnl_Delt@124.125.39.155] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === adamant1988 [n=chatzill@doc-24-206-202-2.el.wv.cebridge.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === boredandblogging [n=asdfasdf@c-24-98-177-125.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [08:43] jenda, ping === xipietotec [n=jackfros@194.115.109.66.static.dis.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === mrmonday [n=mrmonday@84.13.70.196] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [10:03] hello all [10:04] sorry i had to rush off last night [10:05] no worries [10:06] I am about to head to bed myself [10:09] I have just finished the screenshots for another article...
