| ompaul | did I mention the irish whiskey in there | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| LjL | i think you've been hit by a train of thoughts | 00:00 |
| ompaul | LjL, na, that would be linear, this is more like a railway station all on different tracks with only their proximity to each other being the bond, there is no other relevance. | 00:02 |
| ompaul | that was brought to you by the GNU station | 00:02 |
| ompaul | an EU funded project to smash the commissions obsession to sell peoples first born to the "Intellectual Property Monopoly Machine" | 00:03 |
| ompaul | yeah right | 00:03 |
| nalioth | so is it safe to upgrade? | 00:05 |
| Gary | jdong, hope you don't mind me deopping you then | 00:05 |
| LjL | Gary: he'll just kill you | 00:06 |
| ompaul | LjL, in his dreams | 00:06 |
| Gary | I thought he was away | 00:06 |
| ompaul | LjL, so the question is, why after a lovely meal in a great Chinese tonight with a my wife and her brother and sister and their spouses when someone said "Mickey Mouse" as a joke cos the next Chinese year is the year of the Mouse (or is it this one, I missed that part) did I straight away think, and utter out loud, "ohh, that one is no use, it is still bound by copyright" | 00:09 |
| ompaul | Pici, what were you looking for me for? | 00:10 |
| Pici | ompaul: some ban. | 00:11 |
| ompaul | ask | 00:11 |
| ompaul | or pm better still | 00:11 |
| Pici | I think PriceChild took care of it. | 00:11 |
| PriceChild | I didn't. | 00:11 |
| ompaul | bad enough me rabbiting on here about copyright | 00:12 |
| ompaul | :) | 00:12 |

| ompaul | took me a moment to figure out what I was at that day | 00:14 |
| ompaul | note what happened | 00:14 |
| LjL | ompaul: because the copyright on it has been extended | 00:17 |
| ompaul | LjL, again | 00:17 |

| ompaul | Pici, let me do it for you :) | 00:24 |
| nalioth | is he trolling (other than by nick choice) | 00:24 |
| LjL | you're just jealous | 00:24 |
| Pici | nalioth: no. | 00:24 |
| ompaul | LjL, water rusts sissors | 00:24 |
| ompaul | :) | 00:24 |
| LjL | Pici how'd you say it's chuyu | 00:25 |

| LjL | Pici: ever had a fanclub before? | 00:29 |
| Pici | LjL: nope. | 00:29 |
| nalioth | so what is the status of wyclif? | 00:29 |
| Pici | not enjoying it either. | 00:29 |
| LjL | well it's gonna be interesting | 00:29 |
| nalioth | is he evading? | 00:29 |
| PriceChild | I've never had a real fanclub | 00:29 |
| LjL | nalioth: well, he really should know he's still supposed to be banned, i think | 00:30 |
| Pici | Well.. here goes. | 00:30 |
| nalioth | LjL: well, let me take care of 'im | 00:30 |
| PriceChild | I've been here longer than pici, its unfair. | 00:30 |
| nalioth | let's see him get past that one | 00:31 |
| Pici | You banned verizon | 00:32 |
| wyclif | why did i get banned from #ubuntu just now????!!!! | 00:32 |
| nalioth | Pici: i know what i'm doing. | 00:32 |
| Pici | nalioth: I know you do ;) | 00:32 |
| nalioth | wyclif: why were you in #ubuntu just now? | 00:32 |
| wyclif | i was trying to find help! | 00:32 |
| wyclif | i didn't even get to ask my question!!!!! | 00:33 |
| wyclif | c'mon | 00:33 |
| nalioth | evading bans is not acceptable | 00:33 |
| wyclif | what???!!!! | 00:33 |
| wyclif | EVADING BANS???? | 00:33 |
| PriceChild | calm down wyclif | 00:33 |
| Pici | Well, I'm going to try watching a movie. I wonder if my fanclub will come back. | 00:33 |
| wyclif | ::ominous feeling::: | 00:33 |
| LjL | wyclif, did you get the impression that you had been unbanned, after the last talk you had with us in here? | 00:33 |
| LjL | i didn't think so | 00:33 |
| wyclif | what did i do that was wrong?? | 00:33 |
| wyclif | i just joined the channel, that's why I thought i was unbanned | 00:34 |
| wyclif | pls tell me what i did that was wrong??? WHY is the #ubuntu channel so unfriendly to new people? | 00:34 |
| LjL | wrong impression. that was just your ISP changing your internet address under the hoods. | 00:34 |
| LjL | !hi | wyclif | 00:35 |
| ubotu | wyclif: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-ops! | 00:35 |
| wyclif | also | 00:35 |
| wyclif | i tried to go to ubuntu-ops earlier but nobody even acknowledged me there | 00:35 |
| LjL | wyclif: you didn't say a word. | 00:35 |
| wyclif | i just don't understand why i'm being punished | 00:36 |
| wyclif | eh...forget it. Google will work for me. or maybe I'll just switch to something else on the desktop | 00:36 |
| LjL | wyclif: ok | 00:36 |
| nalioth | alrighty then | 00:37 |
| wyclif | can somebody pls help me | 00:39 |
| wyclif | i was asked to come back here yesterday | 00:40 |
| PriceChild | wyclif, we were just talking to you and you left? | 00:41 |
| wyclif | sorry, i got frustrated. LjL wanted me to leave anyway | 00:42 |
| LjL | i just said "ok". | 00:42 |
| LjL | wyclif, i assume you've checked your logs? | 00:43 |
| wyclif | can somebody help me? i was told to come back here yesterday? LjL yes | 00:43 |
| PriceChild | wyclif, i'd suggest you continue your discussion with ljl | 00:43 |
| LjL | yes, STML | 00:43 |
| LjL | wyclif: so you now understand why you were banned, if you did. correct? | 00:44 |
| wyclif | can anyone help me? Seveas? | 00:44 |
| LjL | enough | 00:44 |
| LjL | ooh he knows about -irc too | 00:46 |
| nalioth | crap | 00:51 |
| mneptok | connecting to Rizon? ;) | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Creationist.. (seems to be the same person) with a religious nick that caused countless problems over in #Mepis, I see issues starting.. | 01:15 |
| LjL | uhuhm | 01:15 |
| LjL | i heard that nick before | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Just thought I would tred lightly and bring it to this room attention | 01:16 |
| LjL | which is one of the reasons this channel exists. | 01:17 |
| LjL | not in the bantracker, though. i think i merely remember someone questioning his nickname, possibly in #kubuntu, must have been quite some time ago anyway | 01:18 |
| nalioth | actions speak louder than nicks (in most cases) | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | A nick can be used to bait people as well... | 01:19 |
| LjL | well we certainly can't ban because of the nickname in any case | 01:20 |
| LjL | just highlight | 01:20 |
| wyclif | what happens when a user gets highlighted? | 01:23 |
| nalioth | wyclif: we highlight on certain words | 01:25 |
| nalioth | wyclif: so when folks arrive in #ubuntu using "fartknocker" as a nick, we can be pretty sure they're not here to find out how to fix their screen resolution | 01:25 |
| wyclif | nalioth heh! | 01:39 |
| ubotu | In #kubuntu, mia said: ubotu the website is not in english | 01:42 |

| Jack_Sparrow | hj.. is a problem.. do I have a second opinion | 02:18 |
| LjL | i've given mine | 02:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Thanks | 02:20 |
| LjL | Seveas: there's riotkittie in - nevermind, you aren't awake | 02:20 |
| LjL | banned hj from -ot, resulting in (aside from __mikem asking stupid questions) | 02:23 |
| LjL | [03:22:53] <hjhfi__> listen fucktard | 02:23 |
| hjhfi__ | hey freenode said to unban me from all ubuntu channels | 02:31 |
| hjhfi__ | ljl | 02:31 |
| hjhfi__ | oi | 02:31 |
| hjhfi__ | khanki | 02:31 |
| LjL | oh crap | 02:31 |
| LjL | freenode said that? | 02:31 |
| nalioth | LjL: no, freenode did not say that | 02:31 |
| Seeker` | I know what he did wrong. He didn't say "simon says" | 02:32 |
| LjL | nalioth: ah, thanks. i wasn't being sarcastic | 02:33 |
| hjhfi__ | so unban me mother fucker | 02:33 |
| LjL | !etiquette > hjhfi__ (hjhfi__, see the private message from Ubotu) | 02:33 |
| hjhfi__ | so are you gonna unban me from freenode and ubuntu? | 02:34 |
| LjL | hjhfi__: have you read that? | 02:34 |
| hjhfi__ | LjL i did now unban | 02:36 |
| * mneptok stares | 02:37 | |
| mneptok | let me guess. Texas? | 02:37 |
| mneptok | this smells of Texan "diplomacy" | 02:37 |
| * nalioth shows mneptok a picture of mneptok | 02:37 | |
| nalioth | mneptok: i think not | 02:37 |
| LjL | hjhfi__: i'm sorry but i think i will take my time to decide whether or not to comply with your kind request | 02:37 |
| nalioth | hjhfi__: is coming to us from CPE8af052323062-CM00194757ed42.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com | 02:38 |
| mneptok | oh dear. a fellow Canadian. | 02:38 |
| * nalioth smells mutton | 02:38 | |
| hjhfi__ | <nalioth> what's your point? why are you banning and destroying my ips? | 02:39 |
| LjL | nalioth: how do you destroy IPs? that seems like an hobby i could engage in | 02:39 |
| Hobbsee | nalioth: Pumpernickle is having connection trouble - can you temp-kline or something? | 02:39 |
| Seeker` | LjL: There aren't enough IPs as it is :( | 02:40 |
| Seeker` | Every time you say you like Windows, an IP address dies :( | 02:41 |
| hjhfi__ | LjL my ip reputation which costing my isp money. 3 ip = $100 | 02:41 |
| hjhfi__ | mnetok where in the country are you ratboy? | 02:42 |
| hjhfi__ | Ljl only if i saw yu in person | 02:42 |
| LjL | hjhfi__: what would you say to me? | 02:44 |
| nalioth | he said "good bye" | 02:44 |
| LjL | i see | 02:44 |
| Seeker` | nalioth: Would that be the kind of goodbye that involves swearing at staff? | 02:45 |
| nalioth | no, that would be the personal threat good bye | 02:45 |
| Seeker` | ah | 02:46 |
| ubotu | FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) | 02:46 |
| ubotu | FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) | 02:46 |
| LjL | [03:46:55] <__mikem> LjL, did you just unban the guy that was cursing at us earlier? | 02:47 |
| LjL | really | 02:47 |
| LjL | why does he have to ask about EVERYTHING i do | 02:47 |
| LjL | and if his client doesn't show modes, as he claimed before, how would he know i did it in the first place | 02:48 |
| Seeker` | I'm beginning to get really fed up with stupid people now :( | 02:49 |
| LjL | [03:48:46] <__mikem> You know whats really fun to do, go into a gnu channel, ask them the difference between freeware and free software, and absolutely refuse to get it no matter how many times they tell you | 02:49 |
| nalioth | mneptok: i want you to go visit hjhfi__ in person please, and LEER at him. ( A picture just won't do ) | 02:49 |
| LjL | how's that for a troll | 02:50 |
| Seeker` | I know how you can get people in advanced driving forums really wound up, you ask them whether or not you should go through the gears sequentially or block shift while slowing down | 02:51 |
| Seeker` | never done it, but i've seen it | 02:52 |
| nalioth | Seeker`: but is clutchless shifting more economical than using the clutch? | 02:57 |
| Seeker` | nalioth: you mean changing gear without using the clutch at all? | 02:57 |
| nalioth | Seeker`: yep | 02:58 |
| Seeker` | I wouldn't want to try in my own car | 02:58 |
| Seeker` | well, if I owned one that is | 02:59 |
| * Seeker` would quite like to have a gearbox with gears left | 02:59 | |
| nalioth | once learned, it's perfectly safe and actually increases clutch life (as you don't use it) | 02:59 |
| Seeker` | yeah, but I wouldn't like to think how many gear boxes you would get through learning | 03:00 |
| Seeker` | I'm not going to try learning that yet, i've driven < 2500 miles in my life | 03:00 |
| * nalioth has driven hundreds of thousands of miles w/o using the clutch | 03:01 | |
| Seeker` | how long have you been driving for? | 03:02 |
| * nalioth is a retired truck driver | 03:02 | |
| Seeker` | ah | 03:02 |
| Seeker` | I learnt in 11 weeks last spring, did 600 miles or so in a week in august | 03:03 |
| Seeker` | and I hadn't been in a car again until this morning, when I did about 3 hours | 03:03 |
| nalioth | practice makes perfect | 03:03 |
| Seeker` | yeah | 03:03 |
| Seeker` | thats what I am hoping :D | 03:03 |
| nalioth | i did not start out driving w/o a clutch | 03:03 |
| nalioth | i was just giving you troll fodder | 03:03 |
| Seeker` | heh, I mainly lurk | 03:04 |
| Seeker` | I'm sure I could think up perfectly good trolling comments | 03:04 |
| Seeker` | like "People who dont pass their driving test first time shouldn't be allowed to drive" | 03:05 |
| Seeker` | I'm sure that would annoy more than a few peopel | 03:05 |
| * LjL didn't yeld at the first crossing and then immediately stalled the engine (in the middle of the corssing) after realizing | 03:07 | |
| Seeker` | ouch | 03:07 |
| LjL | the second test i passed mostly because the tester didn't care and because i was given few or no roundabouts | 03:09 |
| Seeker` | whats wrong with roundaboutsd | 03:09 |
| Dave2 | few or no roundabouts?! lucky you. | 03:09 |
| LjL | i hate roundabouts | 03:10 |
| Dave2 | I swear all our test centres are placed right in places with loads of roundabouts. My test centre had a REALLY busy roundabout as the first thing you hit. | 03:10 |
| Seeker` | are there amny where you live? | 03:10 |
| LjL | especially in italy | 03:10 |
| LjL | since they haven't yet frigging decided whether the ones should should yield are the ones *entering* the roundabout, or the ones in | 03:10 |
| LjL | and there are roundabouts which *mix* both ways | 03:11 |
| Dave2 | ...nice | 03:11 |
| Seeker` | in the UK, people on the roundabout have priority | 03:11 |
| Dave2 | which makes sense. | 03:11 |
| LjL | yeah that's obviously the sane thing to do | 03:11 |
| LjL | however our roundabouts were mostly the other way... 'round | 03:11 |
| LjL | then they started changing them, but never really finished | 03:11 |
| Dave2 | one word: "Italy" | 03:12 |
| Seeker` | I can cope with roundaobuts now | 03:12 |
| LjL | so now the idea basically is that when you you peek and see if you can spot a yield sign | 03:12 |
| Seeker` | its hill starts that get me | 03:12 |
| LjL | when you're in the roundabout you peek | 03:12 |
| Dave2 | I'm fine with hill starts, hate roundabouts. Busy ones, that is. | 03:12 |
| * nalioth drove through Italy | 03:12 | |
| Dave2 | I'm fine with mostly empty ones | 03:12 |
| Seeker` | well, I was driving a diesel this morning, which seems to be infinately easier not to stall | 03:12 |
| mneptok | nalioth: no one drives in Italy. you aim and pray. | 03:13 |
| LjL | mneptok: aim at the pedestrian? | 03:13 |
| nalioth | mneptok: well, then, that's what i did. every white-knuckle-covering-my-eyes minute of it | 03:13 |
| mneptok | LjL: are they a foreigner? | 03:13 |
| LjL | pff exaggeration | 03:13 |
| LjL | mneptok: they better RUN whoever they are | 03:14 |
| mneptok | divertente. :) | 03:14 |
| LjL | meh, you should see me when i'm desperate to catch a tram | 03:15 |
| mneptok | sexual? | 03:15 |
| mneptok | oh, "m" | 03:15 |
| LjL | ... | 03:15 |
| LjL | a STREETCAR | 03:16 |
| mneptok | O:) | 03:16 |
| LjL | or a bus for that matter | 03:16 |
| LjL | i run the same | 03:16 |
| LjL | subway too | 03:16 |
| LjL | if i can feel the train coming from pavement vibrations | 03:16 |
| LjL | sometimes i see the tram driver actually staring at me and making a quick mental count of my chances to reach the tram alive | 03:18 |
| LjL | you know, to decide whether to close the doors and go or wait | 03:18 |
| mneptok | ah, the "Am I A Bastard" moment. | 03:19 |
| Hobbsee | mneptok: for you, that question should always be answered with a "yes" | 03:19 |
| mneptok | Hobbsee: wait until you get the package i sent. | 03:20 |
| LjL | anyway what's driving in italy compared to the Magic Roundabout | 03:22 |
| Hobbsee | it'll got delivered to the wrong address. australia post is excelling themselves, at the moment. | 03:22 |
| mneptok | Hobbsee: i just made someone in Perth very sticky, then. | 03:22 |

| kahrytan | might consider it ban avoidance since I changed isps | 06:47 |
| stdin | hmm, ubotu is being slow today | 06:47 |
| nalioth | lovely | 06:48 |
| nalioth | kahrytan: you can access the ban list just as easily as we can | 06:48 |
| kahrytan | I don't know how | 06:48 |
| nalioth | /msg chanserv help | 06:48 |
| kahrytan | umm how do i read it? | 06:49 |
| nalioth | if there's nothing else we can do for you, kahrytan, /msg chanserv help provides some very informational reading | 06:49 |
| nalioth | you can play with chanserv all you like, you're not gonna break anything | 06:50 |
| kahrytan | chanserv doesnt do banlist | 06:51 |
| kahrytan | So, no I can't get -offtopic banlist | 06:52 |
| nalioth | kahrytan: that is very very annoying | 06:53 |
| kahrytan | nalioth➲ sorry about autojoin and thanks for /mode tip. However, the date in the list. thats the date ban was set? | 06:58 |
| nalioth | that usually is what it means, yes | 07:00 |
| kahrytan | I don't see any verizon ban for december so I guess i'm ubanned | 07:00 |
| kahrytan | nalioth➲ Did -ops have anything against me being team leader for loco? | 07:02 |
| nalioth | this is irc | 07:02 |
| kahrytan | fine. | 07:04 |
| nalioth | i removed all the bans for him in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 07:05 |
| nalioth | everyone needs a fresh start | 07:05 |
| Thugacation | hi id like to contest some bans | 07:10 |
| elkbuntu | Thugacation, when i asked you to give more information, did you? | 07:11 |
| Thugacation | that was you i was talking to?? | 07:11 |
| Thugacation | i thought that was nalioth | 07:11 |
| Thugacation | i dont know what more information u need | 07:11 |
| elkbuntu | we both asked you then | 07:11 |
| elkbuntu | as in, where are you banned from, what did you do, do you understand why it was wrong? | 07:11 |
| Thugacation | oh | 07:17 |
| Thugacation | i was banned from #ubuntu, i was banned for "bot abuse", i understand i was wrong and other people were wrong but im the only one that got banned | 07:17 |
| Thugacation | ty | 07:17 |
| elkbuntu | i hope you're aware that other a. other people doing stuff wrong doesnt mean you have to and b. you dont see who we ban after you're banned | 07:26 |
| Thugacation | yeah but i know im the only one that was banned | 07:28 |
| Thugacation | before the ubuntu staff have something against me | 07:28 |
| elkbuntu | throwing accusations will not help | 07:28 |
| Thugacation | so anyway | 07:28 |
| Thugacation | id like to contest these ban | 07:28 |
| elkbuntu | do you understand why bot abuse is wrong? | 07:29 |
| elkbuntu | if so, please explain why | 07:29 |
| Thugacation | because ppl take the bot very seriously | 07:30 |
| Thugacation | and i shouldnt mess with their emotions | 07:30 |
| Thugacation | and im sorry | 07:30 |
| elkbuntu | that's not the reason at all. bot abuse is spammy to the channels, confuses people who need help, and annoys people | 07:31 |
| Thugacation | well | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | the !ops command sure is | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | which is what guy did | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | this is what i did | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | <StrangeCharm>!botabuse > crwlr# | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | <UberDay>gutsy gibbon | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | <StrangeCharm>!botabuse > crwlr | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | <Thugacation>!botabuse | your mom | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | <ubotu>your mom: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | why didnt strangecharm get ban | 07:36 |
| Thugacation | exactly | 07:44 |
| elkbuntu | exactly nothing, i was off eating dinner | 08:19 |
| elkbuntu | you're the only one who abused the bot. strangecharm was piping a factoid to someone else, mispelled and repeated so it would work -- this is acceptable use. .. you on the other hand just used it to _try_ be funny -- this is *not* acceptable use | 08:21 |
| elkbuntu | so no, you do not understand proper use of the bot, why what you did was wrong, and hence i am not willing to unban you. | 08:21 |
| ljsmithx | :< | 08:33 |
| elkbuntu | ljsmithx, this is not the first time you've made a stupid 'girls on the internet' joke | 08:33 |
| ljsmithx | it isnt? | 08:33 |
| ljsmithx | Tell me the time before the last one. | 08:34 |
| elkbuntu | the last time, you even used the xckd comic as part of your 'joke | 08:36 |
| ljsmithx | what? | 08:36 |
| elkbuntu | you have several removes and bans in the ban logger, i'm having trouble finding the right one | 08:36 |
| ljsmithx | As is the language one? | 08:36 |
| ljsmithx | I don't understand it, Ive been awake for more than 24 hours and I have trouble understanding things like that. | 08:37 |
| ljsmithx | Also, how long ago was it? | 08:38 |
| elkbuntu | late last year afaik | 08:39 |
| ljsmithx | umm, I have only been running Ubuntu since 2nd of January | 08:40 |
| ljsmithx | and I only registered this nick on the server a few days ago | 08:41 |
| elkbuntu | hmm... it looks like im confusing you with another person... however, you made the exact same 'joke' as some loser late last year.. it wasnt funny then, and it wasnt funny tonight | 08:42 |
| elkbuntu | calling it a joke doesnt make it funny or any less offensive, just so you know | 08:42 |
| elkbuntu | you may go now, but since you've accumulated alot of disciplinary actions in less than a month, you may want to think about how you act in general | 08:42 |
| ljsmithx | I do understand what you mean | 08:42 |
| ljsmithx | The last time I was here was because of a bot thing. I don't hate woman or think they don't exist on the internet btw | 08:44 |
| elkbuntu | in between now and the last time you were here, there has been several other unrelated disciplinary actions, so just try and behave responsibly. you may leave this channel now | 08:47 |
| ljsmithx | OK, just one more thing, you said "and it wasnt funny tonight" implying your in aus or newzeland? | 08:48 |
| ljsmithx | because of the tonight thing | 08:49 |
| elkbuntu | im in australia | 08:49 |
| ljsmithx | anyway bye | 08:49 |
| ljsmithx | ok im in adelaide | 08:49 |
| ljsmithx | bye | 08:49 |

| Martian | The two world ones? | 19:17 |

| PriceChild | !o4o | 19:18 |
| ubotu | Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu-ops. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks. | 19:18 |
