jdonglol no, I still have a slight bit of a conscience00:55
* mneptok broke jdong!00:55
jdongthough this channel is eroding it fast ;-)00:55
jdongmneptok: oh I was broken far before you came along ;-)00:55
mneptokoh? cool, i'll get the hand cream and tile grout.00:55
somerville32:]00:55
jdongI get the cream, but what's the grout for?00:55
ompauljdong, you had to ask00:55
jdonguh oh this might not be good...00:56
mneptokdo you have insurance?00:56
* ompaul rofl00:56
jdongerr.... for me or for my bathroom?00:56
mneptokoh ... and is your will up-to-date?00:56
ompaulmneptok, you are what we refer to as a sick puppy00:56
mneptokthe grout is most certainly NOT for the bathroom. how .... uninspired.00:56
mneptokompaul: i'm in good company ;)00:57
ompaulmneptok, there is that and then there is this: Scorpions – Suspender Love00:57
jdonghaha. he said "in".00:57
mneptokall the way to the base.00:57
somerville32lol00:58
mneptokompaul: ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE!00:58
ompaulhahah00:58
tonyyarussogrr - ever had one of those professors that feels the need to blather on about things that aren't covered by the book, b/c they aren't really relevant to the intended curriculum but he likes them anyway?00:58
mneptok(wait, was that Scorpions?)00:58
ompaulmneptok, actually got to go --- speedy's coming00:58
PriceChildtonyyarusso, I kinda like those moments...00:58
PriceChildtonyyarusso, they're normally slightly interesting.00:58
jdongtonyyarusso: *sigh* my bio professor invented cancer and the tests, homeworks, and lectures are basically turning into his life memoirs.00:58
ompauljdong, don't you have like a young professor for any subject?00:59
jdongompaul: I wish....00:59
mneptoktonyyarusso: "Can we please cover the material I paid for?"00:59
tonyyarussoPriceChild: it's a computer science course taught by a guy who probably witnessed the invention of the punchcard.00:59
jdongompaul: they're all old and not good for daydreaming during lectures.00:59
ompaulright I am gone00:59
mc44jdong: isn't he a bit ashamed he invented cancer00:59
mc44you know, it's not something I'd boast about00:59
PriceChildoh don't get jdong started on this...01:00
jdonglol he discovered the first oncogene and tumor suppressor genes01:00
jdongso I think it evens out01:00
mc44sure "discovered"01:00
jdonga wrong and then a right makes a forgotten wrong.01:00
mc44:)01:00
jdonghe also lamented al gore getting the nobel peace prize....01:00
jdongfortunately no notes for that lecture ;-)01:01
mneptokjdong: does that mean Germany gets a pass on the Holocaust because of Technoviking?01:01
* Hobbsee thinks mneptok is just plain insane.01:01
jdongmneptok: nah the german fetish stuff already made up for it ;-)01:01
jdongwow I'm losing it01:01
PriceChildtechnoviking?01:02
* jdong wonders if people actually read the log to this channel01:02
mc44jdong: only your mother01:02
mneptokPriceChild: http://www.break.com/knockedupdvd/all-hail-technoviking.html01:03
mneptok^^ Technoviking ^^01:03
tonyyarussoOh lordy, this should be interesting01:03
tonyyarussoNow he thinks he's qualified to talk about brain structure01:03
Seeker`aparently one of my lecturers worked with bourne for a while01:04
mc44Jason?01:04
jdongdunno. forgot.01:04
jdong</groan>01:04
somerville32lol01:07
somerville32lmao01:07
mc44don't encourage him with laughter01:07
PriceChildWait... doesn't MikeB- use TechnoViking as his nick on irc now?01:08
jdongrza01:08
PriceChild*imagines MikeB dancing like that*01:08
jdongerr that's yes.01:08
PriceChildjdong, not qwerty?01:08
LjLnot dvorak either01:10
jdongPriceChild: offset -1 key and a dyslexic swap01:10
jdong:)01:10
LjLthe only thing that's offset -1 is the s, and even if you swap the other two, "ye" doesn't come up :P01:11
PriceChildLjL, which channels for ubotu?01:15
LjLPriceChild: ah, i thought my watchlist changing would mean something.01:15
PriceChildLjL, pardon?01:15
LjLPriceChild: [Watched nicks] dutchman is now online01:15
PriceChild:)01:15
tonyyarussowait, you can watch for nicks?01:17

Tm_Tmeh01:22
ubotuchoudesh called the ops in #ubuntu (oobe)01:23
tonyyarussoLjL: err, how do you set a forward in mlock?01:46
LjLtonyyarusso: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/MovingChannels01:47
LjLplease forward to any other contacts who may need to move01:47
tonyyarussoLjL: yeah, that's what I did.  /cs info #ubuntu-minnesota though - it shows a +f, but not the channel it's supposed to go to.01:47
LjLtonyyarusso: well, it does forward to the right channel01:48
tonyyarussoodd01:48
LjLit's just that chanserv doesn't show it01:48
tonyyarussoall righty01:48
naliothchanserv never shows it01:50

LjLomg wii01:59
Tm_Tyes02:00
Tm_Tjust kickban him02:00
* Tm_T cant02:00
Tm_Tunless you allow me02:00
crdlbwhere and with what nick?02:01
Tm_Tcrdlb: erm?02:02
Tm_Tcrdlb: who are you?02:02
Tm_TLjL: pretty please02:02
* crdlb is an op in #compiz-fusion02:03
Tm_Tnot that02:03
Tm_Tbut thanks :)02:03
* mjr wrote up a short piece on Censorship, IRC and the Ubuntu Code of Conduct for fun, profit, and future efficiency of arguing about it. Those interested, http://mjr.iki.fi/ubuntu/coc_censorship02:03
LjLTm_T, seems he's begging for me to.02:03
Tm_Tmeh02:04
Tm_Twhere his ban is from there?02:04
LjLTm_T: he's not banned, but ompaul removed a lot of bans earlier because the banlist was full, let me check02:05
Tm_Thmmmm02:05
Tm_The was banned twice from there I'm sure02:06
LjLone of them was removed02:06
crdlbI thought he was k-lined :(02:06
Tm_Tcrdlb: twice atleast02:07
tonyyarussomjr: That seems like a reasonable argument for society in general, but not so much for Ubuntu-land.02:07
LjLTm_T, both bans were removed on oct 15 by pici pruning bans. on one of them, he states in the comment that there is another banmask covering the same ban, however it seems he removed that one by mistake too02:08
LjLso, i say it's a ban02:08
Tm_TLjL: if and when you are sure that we can remove him again, please let me ;)02:08
Hobbseemjr: nice essay02:08
Tm_T:(02:09
somerville32mjr, Do you mind if I blog about it?02:09
tonyyarussomjr: My post from a while back is somewhat relevant as well (see http://blog.tonyyarusso.com/politics/what-free-speech-isnt/)02:09
mjrsomerville32, go ahead02:09
Hobbseemjr: of course, i'd be interested to see #ubuntu-offtopic actually have a conversation about politics, which didn't turn into a mega-long rant about the state of politics, where nothing else could be said at all.02:09
Hobbseemjr: which is why the politics stuff was added in there02:09
LjLTm_T: sorry, i had already switched to -offtopic02:10
tonyyarussomjr: I agree that it would be nice if enforcement were more uniform, but frankly I think that's hard to do without making it automated by bots, which I think would be far scarier.02:10
tonyyarussomjr: btw - most of that stuff was added, as Hobbsee pointed out, due to past experience.  The channel used to be much more allowing to various topics, but unfortunately restricted out of necessity as it grew.  (Things are very different with 150 people compared to 25)02:11
Hobbseemjr: also, #ubuntu-offtopic isn't really a great place to get psychatric help.02:11
Tm_Tmjr: what essay?02:11
Hobbsee"we're a linux distribution.  not a psychiatric ward"02:12
Tm_THobbsee: sure?02:12
HobbseeTm_T: last i checked.02:12
Hobbseemjr: also, i find it unhelpful when people rant about women in the channel - it's often mroe discouraging to women to see that, than to have it not beign discussed at all.02:13
Hobbseemjr: the aim of -offtopic is so that everyone can have a say, and can have multiple conversations at once if they wish.  if you're having a massive flamewar on some subject, ti's very hard to do that.02:13
Hobbseemjr: of course, one could then go and write another rant, saying that because stuff like politics *is* allowed, it was too busy to discuss what they wanted to, and that they didn't care about a particularly country's politics, and so it's a violtaion of their free speech to talk.02:15
Hobbseeer, to have that in there.02:15
* Hobbsee is still a big fan of forwarding #ubuntu-offtopic to ##offtopic, so it has no relevance to ubuntu at all.02:15
* LjL is still a big fan of the idea that #ubuntu-offtopic should at least in theory be considered a channel where the main topic is Ubuntu, just not Ubuntu *support*, while digressions are allowed to some extent02:17
mjrHobbsee, not an entirely bad idea02:17
* jdong sides with LjL on this02:17
mjrTm_T, see above02:17
Tm_TLjL: agreed02:17
HobbseeLjL: yeah well.  that'd be even nicer.02:17
jdongthere needs to be an IRC place for Ubuntites to just chill and get to know each other...02:17
jdongbut not rage political war ;-)02:17
LjLHobbsee: that happens. there's a lot of Ubuntu-related talk in -offtopic, although there's also a lot of unrelated talk.02:18
Hobbseeas an australian, i don't overly care about american politics.  why should i not be able to talk in there about what i want, due to an hour long discussion on something i'm not interested in, which is very busy?02:18
mneptokjdong: may i suggest #debian ?  >:)02:18
Hobbseedo you actually have a good solution to that?02:19
jdongmneptok: meh but what if I'm bidistro? :)02:19
mneptokHobbsee: as an American, i'm not quite sure what this "Australia" you speak of actually *is*.02:19
Hobbseemneptok: :P02:19
LjLmneptok wins02:19
jdongall in all, I think it's an impossible line to draw :)02:19
mneptokHobbsee: oh! wait! "Koala England," right?!02:20
jdongI think the policy should be worded roughly like the ops are fully within their rights to stop any discussion02:20
Hobbseejdong: that won't stop the paranoi02:20
Hobbseea02:20
LjLjdong: what, it isn't?!02:20
Tm_Tmjr: interesting02:20
jdongLjL: well technically it is, but without an explicit policy you'll get a lot of bickering when you do it02:20
HobbseeLjL: it actually specifies what some of the inappropriate stuff is02:21
LjLjdong: tss, says you. remember the changes we made to the guidelines during the last meeting?02:21
jdongI'd say "Ubuntu-related topics are fair game, you can try other topics but don't whine if you're asked to take it outside"02:21
mneptokhttp://www.mneptok.com/staticpages/index.php?page=unixirc  <--- feel free to appropriate any parts of "The Rules" that would be helpful.02:21
Hobbseejdong: "ubuntu-related topics are fine, anything else goes to ##offtopic"02:22
jdong:)02:22
Tm_THobbsee: jdong LjL I would also say that all "op games" should be kept out from -offtopic02:22
LjLhe asked for it02:23
Hobbseesince when have they been in -offtopic anyway?  not for a while.02:23
Hobbseeafaik.02:23
Hobbseemneptok: those look good.02:23
LjLoh, uhm, err.02:24
somerville32...02:24
Hobbseei'm starting to think all the ops should quit from -offtopic, stick people like somerville32 and mjr in there, and let them deal with it - and see hwo they do.02:24
mneptokHobbsee: are you recruiting for Fedora or something? ;)02:25
Hobbseewe'll see what they end up doing, and whether they'll take an ideological stance, or a practical one, after they've had some experience.02:25
mneptoktalk about trial by fire ...02:25
Hobbseemneptok: well, they want to change it, they think they can do a better job, and they think we suck at it.02:25
no0ticI don't get the point. Why out there are people that whine about op's "censorship" on #ubuntu-* channels? Nobody forbids them to join ##offtopic or to open a new channel in which they would be kings of their realm. 02:26
Hobbseegive 'em a trial, see fi they change their tune.02:26
* mjr notes how some counterarguments for censorship by subject have been presented, while nobody has counterargued by vocabulary. Interesting :]02:26
Hobbseeno0tic: because ##offtopic is apparently scary, and doesn't have the same people02:26
Hobbseemjr: you probably have a point aobut the vocabulary.  to a point.02:26
no0ticHobbsee, then.. create a new channel and invite every user you want, what's the problem?02:26
HobbseeWe believe in free speech ... to a point. A well-placed epithet can often be used to great effect. But excessive profanity is silly. Ad hominem abuse (personal attack) is a no-no. Trolling is a no-no. Use of your client for CTCP, DCC and other actions is also covered by this. Don't engage in client abuses. What constitutes each of these things? When an op asks you to cut it out, you'll know you've gone too far.02:27
Hobbseesums it up quite well02:27
mneptokmjr: official Ubuntu IRC channels are censored. deal with it.02:27
mneptokmjr: trust me, you're glad they are.02:27
Hobbseeno0tic: people's lazyness.02:27
Hobbseemneptok: and you yourself are censored in them :P02:27
mjr_Of course_ I deal with it. Why do you think I'm still there?02:27
mneptokHobbsee: oh, i self censor. trust me.02:27
mneptokmjr: so what is your issue?02:28
mjror does "dealing with it" mean not pointing out hypocrisy?02:28
somerville32Personally, I've came to the conclusion that I'll never feel the same way about IRC policy as some of the ops and I've come to accept that.02:28
mneptokmjr: such as?02:28
mjrmneptok, such as noted in the essay02:28
no0ticYou want to join ubuntu community? well, there are rules to follow, period. You dislike ops' behaviours? Think about why they became ops 02:29
mneptokmjr: kees can commit security patches directly to the repos. MOTUs can't. is this "hypocrisy?"02:29
mjrmneptok, of course not. But being arrogant, petty and disrespectful while pounding on the CoC is.02:29
LjLsomerville32, indeed. different channels are run in many very different ways... and i don't have a prejudice against those channels that are run in opposite ways from the ones we run ours.  they've chosen a different path, and each may work fine, if there are the conditions02:29
mneptokmjr: the fact is, IRC is not a democracy. it's not a republic. it's a meritocracy in the best cases, and despotism in the worst.02:30
mjrmneptok, please keep telling me stuff I've known probably for longer than you've been online02:30
mneptokmjr: if you have specific examples, and logs, the IRC Council wants to talk to you.02:30
mneptokmjr: *now* who's being arrogant, petty, and disrespectful?02:31
somerville32My biggest tift about the IRC council is the lack of equal representation.02:31
mjrmneptok, I freely admit I answer to those in kind pretty quickly02:31
Seeker`mjr: how long *have* you been online?02:31
mneptokmjr: i said nothing petty, arrogant, or disrespectful.02:31
somerville32mneptok, Who are you kidding? :P You _are_ arrogant and disrespectful :P Thats why we love you.02:32
mneptokmjr: i stated my opinion. you find it repetetive. it's no good reason to be insulting.02:32
mjrmneptok, you were stating and restating obvious things to me as if I'm an idiot, all the while staying clear of all relevance to the actual matter, which isn't if it's a democracy, but if it's a hypocracy02:32
Hobbseesomerville32: who else would you want on there?02:33
Hobbseesomerville32: why is it not equal?02:33
mneptokmjr: "hypocrisy"02:33
mjrmneptok, it's a "play on words". Look it up.02:33
somerville32Hobbsee, The IRC Council mainly represents the management of the three (four?) main support channels and their offtopic equivs and that the IRC Council should have a seat for each group.02:34
Hobbseesomerville32: the point of a council is that it isn't huge.  02:34
* tonyyarusso sighs at that point, yet again02:34
Hobbseesomerville32: presumably you're upset that you didn't get a chance to be on it, so are bringing all this up?02:34
mneptokmjr: as i'm weary of your attitude, i'm going now.02:35
mjrmneptok, good.02:35
somerville32Hobbsee, I wouldn't be interested in being on it but I wouldn't mind seeing another xubuntu op on it.02:35
mneptokmjr: you might get better results after a juice box and a nap.02:35
jdongsomerville32: do you feel there's times your interests were underrepresented in decision making?02:35
* jdong thinks there doesn't have to be a rep from each group on the council to have that group's needs addressed02:36
Hobbseesomerville32: for one, i'm glad that you're *not* on it - as you don't appear to be able to keep your jealousy separate from the issues at hand - like the running of *ubuntu* related channels.02:36
Hobbseesomerville32: who would your suggestion be for an xubuntu-related op?02:36
mjrmneptok, well, you go get those and then reread your lines and consider carefully whether you might've been a tiniest bit condescending02:36
Hobbseesomerville32: and have you seen the council behave badly towards kubuntu, as there is no kubuntu-based op on the council?02:36
somerville32I wouldn't know and I wouldn't even know if the current setup works. I'm thinking purely about why there is the IRC and how I think it should be composed fairly.02:37
somerville32Since the IRC is a body of power.02:37
Seeker`as far as i can see, the problem with mjr's argument is the apparent assumption that everyone has rights on all ubuntu channels and that it is a democracy. But it isn't - it is a "private" network, where certain people have been chosen to run it. What they say goes - end of story02:37
mneptokmjr: if you found my opinions repetitive, sorry. it's still no excuse for the "i'voe been online longer than you" swordfight02:37
mjrSeeker`, get better glasses02:37
Seeker`its not like anyone is forced to be here, they can set up unofficial ubuntu  channels on this server, or other servers02:38
Hobbseesomerville32: all i seem to see from you is how it doesn't work, consistently, yet you offer little-to-no solutions on how it can be fixed - apart from creating more beaurocracy.02:38
mneptokmjr: stop the caustic comments. now.02:38
somerville32But I'm not sure I want to get into this discussion because we often fight and I'd rather have a good working relationship with you.02:38
Seeker`and IRC isn't the end of the world. Fair enough if it was Real Life, but its just a chat system02:38
Hobbseesomerville32: i have no interest in fighting with you - all i'm doing is suggesting why your comments are not taken entirely seriously.02:38
jdongguys, can we please move this political discussion to #offtopic?02:38
jdong*ducks*02:38
mjrSeeker`, the point is that the operator practices on major ubuntu channels are disrespectful, arrogant, and petty, whiles _supposed_ to being governed by the CoC02:38
Hobbseesomerville32: and why you didn't get asked to be on the council.02:39
mjrmneptok, you mean comments like "deal with it"? You know, your opener02:39
Seeker`mjr: I have not seen any actions like that, and I have been hanging around here for quite a while02:39
Hobbseebloody hell.02:39
* jdong blinks02:39
mneptokuh.02:39
mneptokwhuddeye do?02:39
Hobbseemneptok: see /query02:39
* Seeker` hopes he didn't do anything wrong02:40
LjLok, i suggest that this discussion is stopped now. continue in #ubuntu-irc if you feel the need to. this is a flamewar now, actually it's been a flamewar for the last 20 minutes at least, with personal attacks and everything.02:41
Hobbseehave you never heard the logic of bashing kid's heads together when they keep arguing, so they both step down and think about what they're doing?02:41
Hobbsee(independant of who's right and wrong?)02:41
mneptokHobbsee: can i go ride bikes now?02:42
Hobbseesure!02:42
mneptokYAY!02:42
jdongmneptok: put on your helmet!02:42
jdongprobably too late though02:42

RichiHit would help during those floods14:22
Amaranthhehe14:22
RichiH(not that we take long to nuke them ;)14:22
AmaranthWe've actually got something else we're testing14:23
LjLRichiH, +J has been discussed at length, used, then removed, then used, then removed, now we're experimenting with bots that set +l14:23
RichiHbut still, hammering -unregged is a lot less fun for botrunners14:23
PriceChildWhy would they have removed the channel limit?14:23
RichiHah, k14:23
RichiHeggdrops can do that14:23
RichiH#debian uses debhelper14:23
LjLPriceChild, dunno yet, but since two bots quit with excess flood, the other bot will have set -l because of that14:23
RichiHkeep in mind that +l hurts during netsplits14:23
RichiH+J does not14:24
LjLRichiH, +l doesn't hurt during netsplits if it's set with care14:24
AmaranthNot if the bot detects netsplits?14:24
RichiHLjL: 'with care' meaning choosing a threshold so high as to not have any effect ;)14:24
LjLRichiH: uhm, no, it means detecting netsplits and lifting +l when they happen14:25
RichiHAmaranth: if the bot sets -l during splits, that is fine, yah14:25
Amaranthbut +J always either caught users or left us wide open14:25
LjLRichiH, they set -l as soon as they detect that anything is not quite right.14:25
RichiHLjL: ah, cool14:25
PiciRichiH: We're running our limiter bots right now, but they arent setting the +l in #ubuntu until we iron out all the bugs14:25
LjLactually, they're so careful that they can probably be exploited by an attacker who wants to set -l, somehow14:25
AmaranthMost of our users would not even realize they'd been bumped to -unregged and just assume we hate them14:25
LjLPici: err no we aren't running them, they've excess flooded :)14:25
RichiHLjL: you could hand the source to dondelelcaro, he might like to run it in #debian, as well14:25
PiciLjL: er, well we were14:26
RichiHdo they set modes only?14:26

LjL(the reason they flooded out, on the other hand, is quite obvious and all in all expected)14:45
PriceChildLjL, maybe they flooded out before they reported the attack?14:45

ikonianalioth: thank you for your advice on apple the other week, I purchased the ipod touch for the gift. Your input was appriciated20:09
tonyyarussoikonia: what kind of advice did you get?20:13
* tonyyarusso has a nano, but is kind of sad it can't run rockbox20:13
ikoniatonyyarusso: nalioth talked through the iphone/touch with me and gave me some opinons and links20:14
ikoniaI had to buy a gift for someone and was torn between touch and iphone20:14
ikoniaI don't like either so was not the best person to ask 20:14
tonyyarussoah20:14
PriceChildHey kane77, how can I help?20:15
naliothikonia: let's hope it's appreciated  :)20:15
kane77hi.. pici told me I could ask here...20:15
Picisure, blame me right off the bat...20:15
kane77sorry :)20:15
naliothkane77: ask what?20:16
kane77I realised that #ubuntu-sk just forwards to #ubuntu-cz.. could there be #ubuntu-sk?20:16
kane77(sk stands for slovak)20:16
tonyyarussoIs there a loco team with a designated contact for Slovakia?20:17
naliothtonyyarusso: it shouldn't matter (it shouldn't forward to the Czechs)20:17
PriceChildI blame jenda.20:18
tonyyarussonalioth: Ah, ok20:18
tonyyarussorofl20:18
* jenda pleads guilty20:18
PriceChild-ChanServ-      Contact: rejden << ONLINE >>20:18
kane77tonyyarusso, yes there s...20:18
kane77*is20:18
jendathe slovaks decided to forward it themselves20:18
mc44jenda was trying to reunite the two countries20:18
mc44again20:18
jendarejden is the contact of the slovakian team20:19
mc44jenda: when will you let it go!"20:19
jendamc44: well, that's what the army in my back yard is for, not this :)20:19
naliothPici: #ubuntu-irc is the better channel to guide folks to in regards to #ubuntu channels20:19
kane77jenda, i'm not saying it's bad, but it'd be nice to have one ;)20:19
Picinalioth: I didn't even know that existed.20:20
jendaso, kane77: yes, there could be an -sk, but the SK team decided not to have one.20:20
Picinalioth: I've noted it.20:20
kane77jenda, well ok, but at least set ubotu to speak slovak on !sk :)20:27
* jenda blames PriceChild20:28
jendaPriceChild: who can do that? :)20:28
PriceChildjenda, hmm?20:28
PriceChildask rejden to suggest it?20:28
jendaPriceChild: suggest it to whom?20:29
Picikane77: Ubotu doesnt speak anything... its factoids are just text that we put it in.20:29
Picis/it//20:29
PriceChildjenda, erm.... me?20:30
jendaI s'pose kane77 could make the factoid for us20:30
kane77Pici, of course, I know.. :)20:30
PriceChildthat then20:30
Picikane77: oh, you meant for !sk?20:30
kane77Pici, yes20:30
Picikane77: Ah, I misread.20:30
mneptokholy kark. it's jenda!20:30
jendakane77: make us the factoid for it to say20:31
PiciTheres already enough people in #ubuntu who try to talk to ubotu, so I don't assume anything.20:31
jendakane77: my slovak is hardly good enough for that :)20:31
jendaholy lark, it's mneptok!20:31
jendamneptok and mc44 - the only two people I really am afraid of even over IRC.20:31
Tm_Twhere?!20:31
* Tm_T hides20:31
mc44:O20:31
mc44I'm nowhere near as scary as mneptok20:32
jendamc44: true20:32
Picimneptok is pretty scary.20:32
jendaI mean, it took me a while to overcome my fear of nalioth and Seveas, but with them, you at least know you're safe if you behave :)20:32
mneptokubotu: sk is <reply>prepacte, hovorite po anglicky?20:32
ubotuIn #ubuntu-ops, mneptok said: ubotu: sk is <reply>prepacte, hovorite po anglicky?20:32
mneptokbah20:32
jendamneptok: :D20:33
kane77just a sec...20:33
mneptokO:)20:33
kane77(and lol)20:33
tonyyarussoErr, does that say something along the lines of "What, you don't like English?" ?20:34
jendatonyyarusso: nope, it's more like "do you speak English?"20:35
tonyyarussojenda: ah20:35
tonyyarussoWell, I got two words.20:35
* jenda has just finished cooking a huge pot of goulash20:35
* mneptok just finished cooking a huge pot of Hungarians20:35
Tm_Tjenda: is that an invite?20:36
jendamneptok: our Slovakian friends would love you :)20:36
jendaTm_T: no, this one is for my classmates :)20:36
Tm_T:(20:36
jendaThe Charles University Notor Club, to be precise.20:36
PriceChildjenda, "classmates"?20:36
mneptokjenda: it's also quite a popular dish in Austria and Romania :)20:36
mc44he's going to poison all his classmates so he moves up the curve. jenda will be an excellent lawyer20:37
jendamneptok: some people just have talent to upset their neighbours :)20:37
jendamc44: not at all, these are avid supporters ;)20:37
* mneptok feigns innocence20:37
mc44jenda: careful, it might be a coup!20:37
jendaAlthough they still prolly lost me them elections by voting for the other guy /too/20:37
jenda(the downside of having two votes each)20:38
jendamc44: on second thought, poisoning might not be a bad idea :)20:38
* jenda thinks he'll have to protect the pot of goulash so as to prevent the drunkards from spicing it with some dope.20:39
jenda:)20:39
somerville32eww dope20:40
somerville32jenda, Can you make #ubuntu-fredericton fwd to #ubuntu-ca?20:42
jendasomerville32: I'd need a request either from the channel contact, or from the IRC council...20:43
jendaPriceChild?20:43
PriceChildWhat is fredericton?20:44
somerville32A city I live in :P20:44
somerville32Some of the ubuntu users here created it20:45
PriceChildwait...20:45
PriceChildwhy does sk forward to cz if they are different languages?20:45
PriceChildSo what's wrong with fredericton staying dead? :/20:45
jdongjenda: you spoke!!!20:49
jdongthat's like amazing20:50
PriceChildjdong, i've been watching him speak another language... how much more amazing is that!20:50
somerville32PriceChild, Whats wrong with forwarding it to -ca so people don't get lost? :P20:50
PriceChildsomerville32, I'm confused as to how someone would be finding -fredericton20:51
jdongPriceChild: meh the fact that he's alive and not <censored girlfriend activities>ing is pretty amazing in its own20:51
PriceChild*grins*20:51
PriceChildjdong, he's cooking for "classmates"20:51
somerville32PriceChild, I often try random #ubuntu-xxx channels20:51
PriceChildno comment20:51
jdongPriceChild: O_O didn't know he's a groupie guy....20:51
somerville32PriceChild, The channel exists when it shouldn't so why not just forward it to -ca where it should be?20:52
somerville32:]20:52
PriceChildwho says it shouldn't?20:52
somerville32Well, I founded the group :/20:52
PriceChildThe contact's active, have you talked with him?20:52
somerville32PriceChild, Yea20:52
somerville32and he said "oops, I guess we'll hang out in #ubuntu-ca then"20:52
PriceChildyou founded the fredericton group?20:52
PriceChildWell then if he agrees he can set the forward or just plain drop it?20:53
somerville32PriceChild, Yes, he can do that when he logs in. I just happened to remember it and asked Jenda to do it.20:53
* somerville32 doesn't really care either way20:53
naliothstop.20:53
naliothsomerville32: get the chanown to do it, please20:53
PriceChildhammer time!20:53
* jdong smacks PriceChild 20:54
jdongno hammer time.20:54
PriceChildThankyou jdong.20:54
jdongheh and he likes being smacked up....20:54
jendajdong: I've been <cga>ing just before I spoke ;)20:55
jenda21:51 < somerville32> PriceChild, I often try random #ubuntu-xxx channels20:55
jenda21:51 <+PriceChild> no comment20:55
jdongjenda: lol ;-)20:55
jendaIf it weren't so internal, it'd be bash-worthy :D20:55
jdongjenda: err.... that's what she said?20:56
PriceChildoh gah I didn't mean that one in that way.....20:56
PriceChildI guess the way it appeared though is better so I take full credit.20:56
jdonglol isn't it too early in the day for this to become #ubuntu-innuendo?20:56
PriceChildBut yes no reason to be stepping on people's toes... especially over such a dead channel.20:56
jendaPriceChild: wow, you're really getting professional ;)20:57
PriceChildjenda, hmm?20:57
jendaPriceChild: well, just praising the approach of not unnecessarily stepping on people's toes :)20:58

kane77yeah.. I wasn't too sure about that...21:02
PriceChildjenda, you have editors access you idle person :)21:02
LjLjenda, are the accents strictly necessary by the way? as a rule those factoids avoid anything non-ASCII, for languages which absolutely need it (such as non-latin ones) a double transcription is used21:08
LjLlike21:08
LjL!ru21:08
ubotuПожалуйста войдите в #ubuntu-ru для помощи на русском языке  /  Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke21:08
jendaPriceChild: I do?21:09
jendaLjL: well, in the internet world, you often see Czech without diacritics, but it is certainly not correct. Much more so than in french, for example. It can totally change the meaning :)21:09
LjLPriceChild: uhm why did you un-alias is?21:09
PriceChildLjL, because cz and sk are different?21:10
LjLjenda, does it change the meaning in *that* factoid? understandability is a priority over correctness, for language factoids21:10
PriceChildcz is saying "come here"21:10
PriceChildsk is saying "we're not here, but go there instead"21:10
PriceChildin different languages?21:10
LjLPriceChild: ah their loco channel doesn't do support?21:11
PriceChildLjL, no, just forwards to the cz channel21:11
jendaLjL: e.g. "Zaprášen" means dusty, while "Zaprasen" means filthy ;)21:11
jendaLjL: no, it doesn't change the meaning, but it belongs to the language. It's easier to read and understand if properly diacritic'd21:12
LjLso #ubuntu-cz is bilingual?21:12
LjLjenda: unless you aren't on utf-821:13
jendaoften, accents are the only difference between Czech and Slovak :)21:13
jdongjenda: meh same thing21:13
jdong;-)21:13
jdongjenda: so do the words for LISP and SCHEME also differ by two accents?21:13
jendaLjL: you could say so... the languages are nearly identical and all Slovaks speak Czech, 99% of Czechs at least understand Slovak.21:13
jendajdong: O_o21:14
LjLjenda: i see. well in that case i find it a good thing that the support channel is unified21:14
LjLcontrary to, say, -pt and -br :)21:14
jenda:)21:19
mneptokit's a good idea to keep Brasilieros in their own Cube Of Exuberance21:22

PriceChildjdong, never heard the story of beowulf before?21:27
jdongPriceChild: of course I have, I was referring specifically to the presentation of the 2007 film.21:27

somerville32jsoftw, The jokes on you. LjL is just teasing you :P haha. funny, eh?22:23
LjLjsoftw: uhm, well i see, but please do keep in mind that #ubuntu is a busy channel which we intend for support *only*. offtopic chatter is not allowed, and what you said was perceived (by me) as an attempt to insult.22:23
LjLi'll unban you, but please check out the following22:23
