PriceyHaha.... scheduled to talk at lrl us00:06
PriceyMatthew Garrett (Power Management / Anger)00:06
PriceyI wonder if that is power as in "rawr I have ops!!! I had better be careful how many people I kick", or "hmmm laptop won't turn on"00:08
Pricey:P00:08
LjLlrl?00:10
Priceylugradio live00:12
LjLah00:12
LjLPricey: i bet it is more like "how to make your keyboard last more than 3 months modulo coffee drops"00:12
PriceyLjL, so are you driving up for lrl uk?00:14
LjLPricey: yup, i've even fitted my car with some floaters to pass the channel00:14
PriceyLjL, you can take it on the train...?00:14
LjLPricey: yeah, well, anyway, it was a no :)00:15
Priceyhow rude00:15
* LjL sometimes crosses the city border, but is always anxious when doing so00:16
LjLbesides, i don't see myself driving on the left either00:17
Seeker`LjL: its not that hard to get used to00:35
naliothLjL: no, it's actually not hard to get used to at all00:40
Seeker`its driving on the right thats odd00:40
nalioththe first near head-on collision will cause your brain to keep the correct side of the road foremost in your mind00:40
Seeker`heh00:41
Seeker`I've known people that have driven on the left on the continent, and every time they went to change gear, they ended up hitting the door with their arm00:41
Seeker`nalioth: do they believe in gears wherever it is you are from?00:42
* nalioth drives a huge truck with 5 of them00:42
Seeker`AIUI most americans drive automatics00:42
Seeker`not so sure about the rest of europe00:42
naliothmost americans are *******00:42
Seeker`rest of europe = europe - UK00:43
LjLnalioth: what happens if those first near collisions are not near?00:44
naliothLjL: then you won't have to worry about the correct side of the road  :(00:45
LjLSeeker`: we drive manual00:45
LjLnalioth: point00:45
* Seeker` misses driving :(00:45
LjLand uhm, yeah, i think it might be harder to get used to the position in the car, than to the keeping-the-left thing itself00:45
naliothLjL: i'd recommend renting an English car00:45
LjLbut if i came with my own car that wouldn't be an issue00:45
naliothLjL: it's harder in your own car00:46
naliothyou revert back to your usual driving habits (and veer into the right lane as is your usual wont)00:46
* Seeker` wonders if the pedals are reversed in a Left hand drive car00:46
naliothSeeker`: nope00:46
LjLbut i'd put in the fifth instead of the first! =)00:46
LjLSeeker`: ...00:46
Seeker`LjL: ?00:47
LjLSeeker`: what an interesting idea :P00:47
LjLanyway i thought left-hand cars were also relatively common in the uk00:47
Seeker`not afaik00:47
Seeker`they do exist, just not that many of them00:47
Seeker`99% are probably right hand drive00:48
LjLanyway what is true is that, by foot, it was easier to learn to look right first when i went to the UK, than to re-learn to look left when i went back home00:48
LjLi guess it was obviously because i was paying attention in the UK, while when i came back i wouldn't00:49
Seeker`I recently did "pass plus", which is something for drivers who have recently passed their test - they do 6 hours of driving with an instructor covering night, all weather, town, country, dual carriadge and motorway driving00:50
Seeker`my instructor would often ask me why i was in gear x coming up to a junction00:50
Seeker`and I quite often couldn't tell him, becuase I just did what seemed natural, I wasn't thinking about it00:51
LjLnalioth: also you know, while of course it's not comparable to reality, i used a little driving simulator software based on US roads (and also one based on european ones), and i was *really* put off in the US one by the fact that the traffic lights were only on the opposite side of the crossing, not your own. now i've no idea if that's like that everywhere... but i always ended up not noticing the light00:51
LjLSeeker`: i'm usually in gear X because it's what keeps me around 2500 RPM ;)00:52
Seeker`although I think his choice of gears was a bit dodgy - we would be driving through town at ~25mph, and he would tell me to keep it in 2nd - his poor engine was whining so badly :(00:52
Seeker`but as soon as we got out of town, he would complain that I dont go up to 4th quick enough00:53
naliothLjL: we have traffic lights on poles on our side of the street, on poles on the opposite side of the street, on wires on our side, on wires on the other side, etc00:55
Seeker`nalioth: where do you live?00:55
naliothSeeker`: Texas00:55
Priceyif he told you that he'd have to kline you00:55
* Pricey loses00:56
LjLnalioth: *shrug* that simulator had them only on the opposite side... anyway it must be like that in some places of the US, because i'm pretty sure i read it somewhere in a "what's different when driving in europe" for americans00:56
* nalioth loves guests00:56
Priceyparty at nalioth's place!!!00:56
naliothLjL: you come visit me, and i'll show you all 4 types i mentioned above, plus some you'll absolutely freak out when you see00:56
* no0tic joins LjL in his trip00:57
naliothLjL: oooooh, and when you come, bring money and I'll take you to New Jersey and show you that clusterf*** they call a street and road system00:57
LjLnalioth: well we have some i love here. such as the all-lights-on ones. you can get a green arrow, a yellow, and a red all together - and in turin i'm pretty sure i've seen some where the green wasn't an arrow, just a plain green... i suppose it still meant you couldn't turn, but i'm still not sure00:58
naliothall green and not an arrow here means you don't have a protected turning situation00:58
* Seeker` wonders how people would feel about the magic roundabout in swindon00:58
LjLnalioth: but green *and* red?00:59
* nalioth has been through many roundabouts in Europe and the UK00:59
LjLSeeker`: i'm sure most of us have seen pictures. i'd feel like i'd instruct my GPS to avoid it.00:59
naliothLjL: we never mix our colors here00:59
Seeker`nalioth: You seen the magic roundabout?00:59
naliothSeeker`: not sure, i've been through quite a few00:59
LjLnalioth: well what i'm saying is *all* lights were on - red, yellow and green00:59
Seeker`http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_(Swindon)00:59
naliothLjL: sounds like a fault to me01:00
Seeker`that roundabout in swindon is actually on a couple of driving test routes01:00
LjLnalioth: could be, but i think i saw more than one. anyway, the milan ones (i.e. green arrow, yellow, and red all together) are already a bit baffling to me - although i've got used to understanding what they mean01:01
LjLSeeker`: hm the WP article doesn't have the most impressive photos though01:01
Seeker`LjL: No, but it gets the idea across01:01
LjLyeah but this is better http://vanrees.org/thesis/swindon.jpg01:02
no0ticLjL, I saw them too01:02
naliothSeeker`: didn't make it to Swindon, unfortunately01:02
* nalioth took a German car to the UK 01:02
Seeker`nalioth: whereabouts in the UK have you been?01:02
naliothLondon01:04
naliothsome other places that I don't remember as I was driving around01:04
* nalioth drove around the whole of the UK01:05
Seeker`any particular reason?01:05
naliothjust went there to have a look around01:05
Seeker`fair enough01:05
Seeker`any parts you particularly liked?01:05
naliothwell, i found London very interesting and could have spend my entire vacation time there01:06
naliothunfortunately, my friend wanted to see specific spots all over the UK and Europe during our vacation time01:06
LjLyeah i'm tired of this lapland now, let's drive to sicily01:07
Seeker`Bath is nice :) as is quite a lot of cornwall01:07
Seeker`Lands End was fun01:07
* nalioth was chased by a crazed Scots storekeeper01:09
Seeker`heh01:10
Priceylol.... nalioth drove around the UK for fun...01:11
naliothyep, it was fun, too01:12
* nalioth loved the looks he got from fellow drivers when he unrolled his window to ask for directions at the traffic lights . . . 01:12
Seeker`did you have to do that often?01:12
Priceyhaha01:13
Seeker`how long ago did you do this?01:13
Priceyhahah01:13
nalioththis was back in 199101:13
Seeker`wow, quite a while ago then01:13
naliothback when you lot were mostly kiddies01:13
Seeker`(I was 5 at the time)01:13
Seeker`nalioth: does that make you feel old?01:15
naliothi don't feel old at all01:16
LjLi do, and i was a kiddie in 9101:22
* no0tic 8 in '9101:24

nzkAlright, it had been over a year. 13 months, give or take a few days. Can I finally be unbanned from -offtopic?04:09
nzkI think it was Hobbsee that banned me, if it helps at all.04:18
nickrudnzk: seems like the regular ops aren't around right now, you should check back in an hour or two04:19
nzkAlright. Is it okay if I wait here?04:20
nickrudyes. 04:20

vircuseris anyone here who could give me an official contact I could forward my questions to?05:28

emmajaneOut of curiosity: is there a way to NOT allow the user name "stupidgirl"? Check #ubuntu05:57
stdinemmajane: I don't see them misbehaving in #ubuntu05:59
emmajaneerm. it's the name itself.05:59
emmajanei take issue with "stupid" being used as a name and especially when associated with "girl"05:59
stdinhow do you know that the user isn't female?06:00
emmajaneI don't really care what gender they are.06:00
emmajanethat's not the point.06:01
emmajaneI have an issue with people seeing "stupid" next to "girl" repeatedly.06:01
Seveasemmajane, this is not a place to get help with your "issues"06:02
tonyyarussoI don't have an issue with the name, but iirc we have had problems with that user before, so worth watching06:02
Seveastonyyarusso, yup, was about to say06:02
* emmajane has an issue with the name and if these are the ops then I'm pretty sure this is the place I'd report having an issue. Am I wrong about that?06:02
Seveasemmajane, yes. Ops don't deal with people's emotional issues. Only channel management06:03
emmajanethis is not an "emotional" issue.06:03
emmajanethis has to do with the name being offensive towards women.06:03
emmajaneYou've read the code, right?06:03
stdinwould it be ass offensive to you if it were "stupidboy" ?06:04
Seveasstdin, :)06:04
stdin*as06:04
emmajaneyes, it would.06:04
emmajaneI don't like the word "stupid" associated with either gender.06:04
Seveasbtw, stupidgirl is a girl and history has shown she's stupid as well06:04
emmajaneor race06:04
emmajaneor whatever.06:04
nickrudshe certainly isn't stupid06:04
emmajaneGenerally family friendly means all ages.06:04
nickrudnot clueful, but not stupid06:04
emmajaneMy kids are definitely not permitted to use the word.06:05
stdinI think you're a but to sensitive (IMO), I would not have a problem with someone calling them self stupid if they wanted to06:05
Seveasnickrud, I consider trolls to be stupid :)06:05
emmajanestdin: I think I'm trying to advocate for friendly language.06:05
nickrudSeveas: haven't seen the trolling part, but I'd agree in principle06:05
Seveasemmajane, then be friendly and let someone call herself stupid if she wants to06:06
emmajaneSeveas: You're missing the point.06:06
stdinwe can't possible moderate every user in the channel so they can't possibly offend anyone, I'm afraid we have to pick our battles a bit06:06
Seveasnickrud, I refered to that when calling her stupid. Not her actions right now :)06:06
Seveasstdin, you offend me. Change your nick to stderr to admit you are wrong.06:06
tonyyarussoemmajane: If a user was calling another user stupid, you would have a case, but I don't think any of us see a problem with self-reference.06:06
nickrudrflol06:06
Seveas:)06:06
* emmajane notes the lack of respect taht her issue is being given. Duly noted and thank you for your attention.06:07
tonyyarussoweird06:07
tonyyarussoDisagreement is lack of respect now?06:08
* stdin could come up with a woman joke here, but won't for fear of offending the pope06:08
* nickrud looks around, and notices it was all male06:09
SeveasI doubt elkbuntu or hobbsee would disagree with it06:09
tonyyarussonickrud: True, so we'll have this line ping elkbuntu in case she'd like to chime in.06:09
tonyyarussonickrud: although they said it didn't matter which gender it was, so if we simply believe that it's not a problem.06:10
nickrudtonyyarusso: <emmajane> i take issue with "stupid" being used as a name and especially when associated with "girl"06:11
stdinI don't think they would have cared so much if it was "boy"06:11
stdinor they'd have asked for a ban on *stupid*!*@*06:11
tonyyarussonickrud: I'd rather pay attention to the latter of the two contradictory statements, since it supports my point better.  :P06:12
nickrudheh06:12

no0ticnickrud, yes, chars too, indeed :)06:16
nickrudhe was the abolute best I've ever seen06:17
elkbuntustupidgirl is a known troll06:22
nickrudthe question is about the nick itself, though06:23
vircuserwhat about stupidneuter?06:47
vircuserthat wouldn't offend a gender would it?06:47
vircuserwould stupidgenius offend geniuses?06:47
vircuserhow about stupidvista? ;)06:51

PriceyAbout the "stupidgirl" nick above.13:46
PiciEh?13:47
PriceyIf 'she' had come into the channel, and started "oh I'm a girl, but I'm so clueless, won't one of you strong men help me?" then yeah just kick them out. If they're acting fine then leave it.13:47

white_eagleappraise, tell me what that means, a new word to me, really18:37
ompaulwhere is the disconnect and why18:37
ompaulwhite_eagle, in google type    >>> define: appraise <<<18:38
white_eaglemy english is not perfect18:38
white_eaglethanks18:38
white_eagleoh, you mean to judge myself18:38
white_eagleI don't know what more to say to you than a promise18:39
white_eaglethat I won't ping or troll, but the real excuse for pinging, and constant joining and quitting is my sluggish net connection18:39
white_eaglethats one of the best offers I can get over here18:39
ompaul.de does have some real ISPs you know and some of the worst ones also18:40
white_eagle?18:40
white_eaglewhat does that have to do18:41

ompaulI can't read :)18:41
ompaulI got the wrong ip :)18:41
white_eagleoh18:41
ompaulI'll lift the ban, you know it would be better to ask what something does or research it before you try it18:43
white_eaglethanks18:43
ompaulafter all doing the wrong thing gets you banned18:43
ompaulbut you are already in there18:44
ompaulhmm18:44

PiciSeveas: nzk 20:26
SeveasPici, eww. No swearing please20:26
SeveasThat's a permban20:26
PiciSeveas: Well, he wants to discuss it with you, since he thinks hes been banned for long enough.  20:27
PiciI don't want to get in the middle of it though.20:27
* Pici is just the messenger20:27
* ompaul shoots Pici 20:27
SeveasPici, there's no discussion, permban is permban :)20:28
ompaulsaves the others their bullets20:28
nzkSeveas: Not from either channel?20:33
Seveaspermban is permban, holds for all channels20:34
nzkWhy a permaban?20:34
Seveaswe've answered that every time you came in here. No need to waste more time. Goodbye20:35
nzkActually, you never answered that question. How is mild trolling, almost two years ago, and saying one command enough to warrant a permaban?20:36
* Pricey wonders why are trolling and malicious commands ever warranted20:38
nzkIt wasn't malicious20:39
nzkI was wondering if somebody was an operator, so I did the exclamation point ops command, not knowing it's a "911".20:39
nzkBesides, it was 400 days ago...20:41
nzkI even did the math.20:41
nzkPeople are in prison for shorter amounts of time, for worse offences.20:42
PriceyNothing to ever warrant trolling then...?20:43
nzkThe trolling was 542 days ago, and it wasn't even that bad. I wasn't even a Linux user back then, and I was pretty young.20:44
PriceyNevermind.20:44
ompaul400!=54220:45
ompaulstill at it20:45
* ompaul wanders off20:45
Seveasompaul, and it was 'little over a year' and 'almost two years' as well ;)20:46
nzk400 days in -offtopic, and 542 in #ubuntu20:46
nzk400 is "a little over a year"20:46
nzkAnd 542 is just slightly over a year and a half, so it's "almost two years".20:46
Seveaswell guess what20:47
Seveasmultiply those numbers by 1020:47
Seveasand maybe you're allowed back in after that time20:47
nzkEven murderers don't get sentences that harsh.20:48
nzkYou even said that I'd be let back after a year, back when I was first banned.20:48
LjLyou aren't in prison in case you didn't notice20:48
nzk15 years banning for asking if anyone had seen a movie... No words can describe that20:49
Seveasnzk, good, then maybe you'll be quiet :)20:49
nzkSo there is nothing, not one thing on this entire planet, that I can do to get unbanned?20:49
Seveascorrect20:50
LjLSeveas: uhm wait20:50
LjLcash should do20:50
ompaulLjL, he don't have enough20:50
LjLah nevermind then20:50
Pricey"murders don't get sentences as harsh as not being allowed into #ubuntu for a year?"20:51
nzkPricey: Seveas said "he'd consider" unbanning me in 15 years20:51
nzkJust like he said "he'd consider" unbanning me after 1 year20:51
LjLmurderers don't get sentences as harsh as not being allowed into #ubuntu for 15 years?20:52
Seveasnzk, you might be onto something there20:52
nzkI was referring to the time20:52
LjLhe was hinting to the fact that it'll likely be 15^2 years next time20:53
Seeker`Banning people from #ubuntu for murder would certainly reduce prison costs20:53
PriceyWhy can nzk not reply to what I say. If I ask a question he returns answers to different questions. if I make a statement he replies with something else random.20:55
nzkYou didn't ask a question20:55
LjLPricey: you noticed that too?20:55
SeveasPricey, that's his metier20:55
Seveasclassic trolling20:55
nzkPricey: I was responding to your question.20:56
ompaulPricey, you know that Album by Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run perhaps Born To Troll is the phase that escapes you.20:56
nzkAnd you surprise me the most, ompaul. You used to be nice.20:56
Priceynzk, without answering the question...20:57
* nalioth notes that ompaul was replaced last year by an automaton20:57
ompaulsee no powers20:57
Priceynzk, I've not made any opinion of you publically. I haven't stated whether I think you should stayed banned or not. I just think its reeeally annoying you don't respond with related answers or statements.20:57
nzkI apologize, then. I was trying to answer your questions to the best of my ability.20:58
ompaulnzk, see your reply to: * Pricey wonders why are trolling and malicious commands ever warranted20:59
ompaulin the PR world they would say your answer was "not helpful"20:59
nzkI said "...and one command". And assumed it was malicious, so I explained it to him.20:59
ompaulnzk, see - you have had 4 minutes reply positively to the last comment 21:04
ompaulI give up21:04
ompaulback to shell scripting the office 21:05

LjLjpatrick: nice not seeing when the channel is attacked, isn't it :P22:20
ompaulright folks I am off cheers22:21
jpatrickLjL: whoops22:21
LjLjpatrick: better to find a way (if your client has any) to not send CTCP replies (or to delay the sending)22:21
LjLwhat would be cool is a *channel* +C mode...22:23
jpatrickLjL: I'm off to bed, watch -youth :p22:30
LjLnight22:39
jpatrickgot it btw: http://irssi.org/scripts/scripts/fakectcp.pl22:41
LjLuhm that fakes it but doesn't prevent you to be flooded by it does it22:42
jpatrick /IGNORE * CTCPS ?22:44
LjLjpatrick: on my client, that doesn't let you *see* them either22:44
* jpatrick uses irssi :)22:45
LjLyeah, and on irssi an /ignore lets you see the stuff that's sent? don't think so22:45
jpatrickit's what I read here: http://irssi.org/documentation/manual22:46
LjLjpatrick: yeah but that has the same effect as +C... it stop you from the replying to the CTCPs, but it also stops you from *seeing them coming*22:47
jpatrickah ok22:47
goukiHi22:51
goukiLjL, ping22:51
goukiSeveas: ping22:54
mneptokgouki: please state the nature of the emergency.23:00
goukimneptok: Not really an emergency. I want to register a ubuntu- channel and would like to talk about it.23:00
naliothgouki: we're listening :)23:01
goukinalioth and mneptok: Thanks23:01
goukiSo, the IRC channel would be for the PSUbuntu project (psubuntu.com).23:01
goukiThe channel already exist but it's not registered. I was wondering if I can the approval to do it.23:02
goukiThat's it guys. Need to know anything else?23:03
mneptokgouki: what is the channel name?23:03
goukipsubuntu, if possible. Only because it already exist and people know about it, mneptok 23:03
* nalioth forgot to put batteries in his ESP today . . .23:04
naliothgouki: we don't have anything to do with #psubuntu, i'm afraid23:04
mneptokgouki: my personal gut reaction is to use #ubuntu-ps3, as it follows the Ubuntu IRC channel naming convention23:04
goukiI see, mneptok 23:04
goukinalioth: I understand. I preferred to talk to you guys first, even if the answer was that.23:04
mneptokgouki: side projects come and go. but the port is probably going top stick around.23:04
mneptok*to23:05
goukimneptok: I understand23:06
goukiWould it be possible to forward from #psubuntu to #ubuntu-ps3?23:07
naliothgouki: again, we have nothing to do with #psubuntu23:07
goukinalioth: OK23:08
nalioththe only option i see is to have an bot spam users when they join23:08
mneptokgouki: official Ubuntu channels start with #ubuntu-23:08
mneptokgouki: as #psubuntu is not an official channel, it's not the domain of the Ubuntu IRC Council.23:09
mneptok(of which i am not a member) ;)23:09
naliothgouki: i suggest goin with #ubuntu-ps3 also23:09
naliothor even <gasp> #ubuntu-ppc23:10
naliothwhich playstation3 runs on, yes?23:10
mneptoknalioth: the architecture differences are enough i can see wanting a dedicated channel. but yeah ...23:10
naliothmneptok: the powerpc port runs on the ps3, i believe23:11
naliothit also runs on the IBM big iron power5 procs23:11
mneptokPS3 = Cell23:11
* nalioth just doesn't want an #ubuntu-g5-ppc750 and an #ubuntu-g5-ppc-950 and so on23:11
naliothmneptok: yes, and Cell = powerpc23:11
goukinalioth: True23:11
mneptoknalioth: Power4, to be precise :)23:13
goukinalioth: I understand your point. But I still believe it would be good to have a separate channel for the PS port.23:13
goukiThere would topics of interest to PS3 owners and not PPC users. Documentation itself differs, etc.23:13
mneptokgouki: let's talk XMB with an iBook user.23:14
goukiHeheh23:16
goukiIf we decide to go with #ubuntu-ps3, would we be allowed to do it? 23:18
goukimneptok, nalioth 23:20
Priceygouki, yes23:27
goukiPricey: Thank you23:40
mneptoknalioth: i reg'ed the channel until the council decides they want ownership23:55
naliothmneptok: you "good feeling of a job well done" feeling thief!23:56
Tm_T:(23:56
mneptoknalioth: i'll probably be waiting when you come to bed, too. *wink*23:57
