[15:19] <_FReeZ> $hit += 2; // assign 2 to variable hit [15:19] <_FReeZ> tritium, ok, where are these norms? [15:20] _FReeZ: you've been warned [15:21] <_FReeZ> tritium, yes, that's right. I've been warned at #ubuntu, but still don't know what's so wrong with some words I enjoy to use when I don't like something. How can I say that using the non-forbidden words, when I don't know them, because nobody uses them? [15:22] Try using common sense, _FReeZ. [15:22] <_FReeZ> tritium, can you please tell me how to say "Windows is piece of crap" ? [15:22] If you're lacking in that area, we can't help you. [15:23] No, I have more important things to do.

[23:01] so that will give you something to think about [23:01] aye. [23:01] * ompaul goes to find something to do for 10 mins [23:01] ssh -C work :-/ [23:01] what's -C do [23:01] compress [23:01] read the page [23:02] I am. [23:02] it's really great for when you feel ssh updating every keystroke is boring or helps you type too well [23:02] cough. [23:02] sneeze? [23:02] hello jdong... [23:03] hello jussi01 :) [23:04] jdong, ever run a box on a live usb stick - shut down the kdm/gdm and then do something mad like on that box X :0 -query someOtherBox? [23:04] I'm not crazy enough to trust my subnet and run XDMCP, but... go ahead? [23:04] jdong, hehe - I have to I run the subnet [23:07] ompaul: hehe. Since my subnet is 18.96.0.0/16 (i.e. public).... I tend not to trust it much :D [23:08] jdong, actually that raises the obvious how could I do xdmcp over ssh [23:08] jdong, /me will now insult two good books back soon [23:08] hmm interesting. [23:09] XDMCP is a UDP protocol right? [23:09] I'm guessing your answer will lie in either some weird socks/tccat hack, or with (more enticingly) openssh tun VPNs [23:09] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/XDMCP-HOWTO/ [23:10] hmm [23:10]
