=== ubot3` is now known as ubot3 [00:46] why did #ubuntustudio ask for ubot3 if they were just going to +q it? [00:50] nalioth: they have ubotu... perhaps they thought it was still down when they asked? [00:52] it'd be nice if someone said "we're done with your bot now, thanks for the loan" [00:53] nalioth: be understandful... we make enough of a mess with all these half-working bots ourselfs, no surprise others get as confused [00:54] nalioth: the good news is, the auto-backup is quickly turning away from being vaporware [00:55] :) [01:18] if i install the sparc kernel will my computing experience be more sparkly? [01:24] If you have a sparc v7 processor, I know the most efficient asm code to compute the sign on the number [01:26] In #ubuntu, heogen said: ubotu wengophone is better than pppd? [01:29] !bot > heogen (heogen, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:57] Odd-rationale called the ops in #ubuntu (free) [02:40] sigh [02:41] jesus. [02:41] i can guess why Java isn't working. [02:42] mneptok: he's trying to install it by pasting the code into /usr? [02:42] LjL: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin > /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so [02:45] ... [02:45] mneptok: that won't work, you'd need to use sudo tee or -c (I think) with sudo for it to exec the whole thing as root [02:45] the tragic thing is i'm not getting the issue [02:46] i guess my java works by miracle [02:46] hasn't been touched since dapper [02:46] I thought he meant it as an io redirect... maybe I'm reading too much into it [02:47] Pici: well yeah that subtle sarcasm would suit him [02:47] wait, no [02:47] Anyway, any particular reason we have "/msg ubotu etiquette" in the #ubuntu topic instead of a link to the guidelines? [02:48] Pici, little compromise against having a huge notice that you shouldn't change your nickname :) if you know who i'm pointing to here [02:49] Pici: and face it, most of the reasons you'd end up being kicked for are in !etiquette and not so much in the guidelines proper [02:53] fair enough [04:36] Spaceman3750 called the ops in #ubuntu-chicago () [04:40] haha, nevermind that...I went in as an alter ego with konversation trying to verify a dcc bug and asked him if he wanted to cyber :p [04:57] In #ubuntu, tritium said: !sound is a good place to start [04:57] ah, crap, I didn't mean to do taht [04:57] that* [04:57] good version, I like it [04:57] heh [07:52] pur [08:03] mew [08:16] poetic justice [08:16] I woke up at about three with the most horrible headache to the sound of my phone announcing low battery [08:16] the poetic part being ...

[08:29] I feel like smacking him to the back of his head with a trout [08:29] a day dead trout preferably [08:29] or two [08:30] hey, dont hurt yourself tryign to hurt him [08:30] I couldn't, he lives in a paradise and I don't [08:33] hi calc [08:33] hi [08:33] 'sup? [08:33] apart from you breaking OO.o again. [08:34] heh i haven't uploaded OO.o in a while so its just 'still broken' ;-) [08:34] ugh. well fix it! :P [08:34] about to head to bed, been doing bug triage [08:34] my ooo bug page looks pretty :) [08:34] 382 open 38 new [08:35] used to be ~ 670 open 270 new [08:35] wow, nice@ [08:35] of those over half are upstream and 93 are incomplete [08:36] kahrytan is getting down right insultive from what I'm seeing [08:36] godo to see at least part of ubuntu in control of it's bugs [08:36] heh [08:37] Myrtti: i'm watching. according to him, i'm the one op he hasn't had trouble with, or something [08:37] ttyl, headed to bed now [08:37] cya [08:41] Hobbsee: so how about having some op that he has had trouble with to deal him. He doesn't like them, they don't like him, and they all act like they have expected the other to act. [08:41] :-> [08:42] Myrtti: heh, go ahead and deal if you like [08:42] ohh I'm here [08:42] hehe [08:42] he has actually had trouble with me before, too [08:57] right. [08:59] he is anti the goals of this community [08:59] we can see this from his statements [08:59] wasn't he the homophobic from Hawaii? [09:00] or do I get them mixed up [09:01] he is [09:01] not was [09:02] Hobbsee, your ban should be one this one *!?=kahyrytan@* [09:02] very very specific and one only [09:02] anyone avoiding that should be shot on site [09:02] sight even [09:14] or simply shot [09:18] !staff [09:18] Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, Dave2, Christel or Gary, I could use a bit of your time :) [09:18] spammer for #linuxchat in #freenode and others [09:56] g...

[14:25] because you clearly don't want to be there. [14:26] Not so. [14:26] I was having a conversation with elkbuntu. I was speaking to him about things he was talking to me about. [14:26] And then I was kickbanned for making a factual statement? [14:26] her* she [14:26] emma: you really are bad at picking females. elkbuntu is also a her. [14:26] Okay with her then. [14:26] Okay I did not know that. How could I? [14:27] jpatrick, elkbuntu is quite masculine [14:27] a /whois [14:27] * Seveas runs for his life [14:27] emma, what does the origin of any company have anything to do with anything? [14:27] Seveas: then you would have been getting *really* strange looks at the airport... [14:27] * Hobbsee reaches for the brain bleach. [14:27] Hobbsee, I think that happened anyway [14:27] elkbuntu - I don't understand the question? [14:27] Seveas: quinn. [14:27] Hobbsee, i dunno, you got all the huggles then :( [14:27] BRAIN BLEACH, WHERE'S THE BRAIN BLEACH [14:27] * Hobbsee used it all [14:27] DID ANYBODY SAY CAKE? [14:27] emma, what is the point of mentioning that the company is israeli? [14:27] mmm, cake [14:28] damn you, pointy stick! [14:28] there won't be any more till tomorrow :P [14:28] elkbuntu - It does not matter much to me, to me the most important aspect is that it's a corporation. [14:28] emma: and so is Canonical [14:28] * Hobbsee might be an evil corporation of the hobbsee too. and? [14:29] * Hobbsee might be a green alien, come to take your communiications back to mars, and perform tests on human beings. [14:29] jpatrick, I have this in the oven: http://www.blago.net/_baking_05/img/cake2_20_08.jpg [14:29] The fact it is israeli is just another fact. If it were a Canadian corporation I would tell people that you are welcoming a Canadian corporation to record everything we say and publish it on the internet for a profit. [14:29] Seveas: yum, I mean APT! [14:29] jpatrick -- I don't mind associating with Canonical since it has not lied to me or tried to exploit me. [14:29] hell, if you could apt-get that, ubuntu would be rich :) [14:29] emma: how do you know that? [14:30] emma: are you aware that there are parts of ubuntu that aren't public either? [14:30] Hobbsee - It's a matter of trust. So far I have no reason to distrust Canonical. [14:30] heh, canonical often lies [14:30] it's called marketing [14:30] ubotu lies [14:30] Mostly just statistics, but yeah. [14:30] LOL [14:30] ROFL [14:30] that was funny [14:30] * jpatrick <3 that factoids [14:30] ROFL! who put that there?

[14:31] * Hobbsee ponders a QOTD on that. [14:31] elkbuntu - I didn't know you were a woman also. Sorry for that mistake. I don't really do /whois on people. [14:31] Although I didn't realize that /whois tells you that stuff either. [14:31] because /whois invades privacy? [14:31] emma: invasion of their privacy huh? :) [14:31] emma, i'm one of the lucky ones who dont have to hide information from people [14:31] LjL, gmta :) [14:32] Seveas, sometimes we think alike (except when we don't) [14:32] LjL, well, your mind is greater anyway [14:32] because /whois shows when someone's /away? [14:32] Seveas: that's not a compliment and we both know it [14:32] No /whois is not an invasion of privacy, but I like to take people for what they are, and how they present themselves rather than try to frame them. [14:32] * elkbuntu notes that /wii is cooler [14:32] then you can raid their house! [14:32] elkbuntu, Super Mario Galaxy1 [14:32] emma, yet you framed me male. interesting ;) [14:33] Seveas, har. har. err.... har! [14:33] elkbuntu, well, everyone can make mistake, initially i thought you were an elk [14:33] well, not just initially [14:33] elkbuntu - Yes of course people can make mistakes like that. I think of elk as being kind of masculine like the elk lodge. [14:33] elkbuntu: next she'll claim that you weren't as big and curvy as expected. [14:33] LjL, [14:33] * Hobbsee quickly hides the extra supply of brain bleach [14:33] Hobbsee, dont make me come over and hit you [14:33] tune mika song [14:34] * Seveas hugs elkbuntu [14:34] * Hobbsee hugs elkbuntu too - surely you woudln't do that. [14:34] Seveas, she's tryign to give me nightmares :( [14:34] elkbuntu: hey but i always thought you were a *female* elk! [14:34] elkbuntu: but what's the thumping? [14:34] elkbuntu gives better hugs than Hobbsee [14:34] Seveas: hmph :P [14:35] because there's more of me! [14:35] Seveas: see waht you get next time i meet you then... [14:35] elkbuntu: so quinn was right. clearly i need to get bigger and curvier. [14:35] Hobbsee, you hide the brain bleach, I'm taking away the hugs! [14:35] elkbuntu: i'm sure Seveas would like you more if you had a beard though. [14:35] * Hobbsee uses the remainder of the brain bleach [14:35] Seveas: see? all gone. [14:36] Hobbsee, well, in all seriousness, a bit more of you wouldn't hurt. Though I'd probably disagree with 'bigger and curvier' :) [14:36] haha [14:36] Seveas: then you wouldn't notice the green tendancies [14:37] Hobbsee, it'd be harder for them to carry you to the pool too [14:37] green tendancies? Pretending to be a rake? [14:37] Seveas: alien variety [14:37] elkbuntu: there is that. [14:37] antennae? [14:37] elkbuntu: although, smashing them hard is also quite effective for that. [14:37] hehe [14:38] heh [14:38] quite [14:38] green tentacles? [14:39] wait, whut? [14:39] nalioth, in your pants [14:39] Seveas, too far! [14:39] urgh. far too far. [14:40] Hobbsee, elkbuntu: you and your sick minds [14:40] I meant the things that run from his ass to his shoes [14:40] Seveas, i dont care which part of in his pants, i dont want to see any of it! [14:41] you're about a gazillion miles away from him. No chance of seeing it [14:41] * jussi01 wonders exactly how this conversation got to where it is... [14:42] jussi01: UDS [14:42] jussi01: quantum probability [14:42] hhahahahah [14:43] hmm... we've accumulated idlers indeed [14:43] who's moha? [14:43] some of these will get upset. [14:44] why? [14:44] I'm not idling. [14:44] * elkbuntu points to the /topic [14:44] you were so. [14:44] emma: define idling? [14:44] I am waiting for you all to finish socializing, because I felt it would be rude of me to interupt you with my issue. [14:44] go ahead. [14:45] people tend to be quiet when there's actual on topic discussion [14:45] I would like to be unbanned from -offtopic. My comments were not out of left field. I was having a conversation with others, including elkbuntu, and the comment I was banned for is accurate and not malicious. [14:46] emma, are you familiar with Wikipedia? [14:46] Yes. [14:46] emma: do you know all those templates they have - the "weasel words" one, for instance? [14:47] I am not sure that I am. [14:48] Not to make this argumentative but just to put it out there, I think that informal speech such as a conversation in a chat room has to have different standards of speech than you would find in, say, an encyclopaedia. [14:48] emma: well if you're interested it's explained here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_writing_better_articles among other places, but anyway the point is [14:48] you can be trolling (in the case of IRC) or being NPOV etc (in the case of Wikipedia) even while stating facts [14:49] That's a very interesting statement to me. [14:49] emma: it is interesting. [14:49] emma: when you mention that the company is Israeli - it's a fact, because it is (at least i believe you, i haven't really checked). [14:49] emma: yet does the nationality bear any relevance to the matter? if not, then it becomes a weasel word. [14:50] Is that really what this is about? [14:50] also, adding a pejorative adjective just before the weasel adjective is a typical way to subtly transfer the pejoration from the noun to the adjective. [14:50] Let me ask you this: If I had said, "The Canadian corporation... " would that also be considered a "weasel" word? [14:51] "slimely Israeli company" - of course it means the company is slimely... yet the choice of word order conveys a slightly different message. [14:51] LjL if I had said, "The slimy Canadian corporation" would that also convey the same message to you? [14:51] emma: well, need to see it in the context of the phrase, but yes, since its being Canadian would have very little relevance [14:51] yup [14:51] speaking of isralies, spam has stepped down from the CC :( [14:52] emma, your comment was vindictive and unwelcome. the fact that you were talking to me has zero impact on how your behaviour is taken. i really did not appreciate you trashing the company with the phrase 'slimey israeli'. i found it quite offensive [14:53] emma, you offended me. [14:53] That's interesting also. [14:53] To me it is surprising that "israeli corporation" is so offensive. [14:53] don't forget the "slimey". [14:53] no, i didnt say that [14:54] The slimy adjective applies to the noun not the other adjective. You all are parsing the English langauge pretty hard here in order to justify this ban I think. [14:54] But if we are going to do that then lets do that. [14:54] Israeli is not being used as a noun in this sentence. [14:54] I just love the part that everytime I see emma on any given channel, the discussion always contains the words allow, log, corporation, israeli, slimey etc. [14:54] It is being used as an adjective, modifying the noun 'company' [14:55] emma, no, i believe *you* have been constructing your sentences in a way that lets you justify their factual correctness while still conveying trollish messages. that's why i talked about the whole Wikipedia thing, and how you can have a weasel sentence even when stating something "factually accurate". [14:55] slimey corporation is expressly about the corporation. but when you feel the need to interject a nationality, (which by the way, i have relatives who are israeli), and have the phrase 'slimey israeli' blaring, [14:56] if I had used Israeli as a noun that would probably be more understandable if you found that offensive. But since I was not, I am not sure how to respond to this criticism other than to say, it is not reasonable to hold people to this level of fine-parsing of the English language in a dynamic real time medium like chat. [14:56] elkbuntu - It's like saying "The tall red barn" [14:56] The tall does not apply to the word red [14:56] It applies to the word barn [14:56] meh, symantecs [14:57] I am not the one making this semantics. I am stating the fact about what I said for all to see. [14:57] elkbuntu: don't you ever sleep, btw? [14:57] eh emma, the thing is, we don't parse sentences to this level of details with *everyone*, but when you're already on our radar and we believe you *have* an agenda of conveying "slimey" messages while trying hard to keep inside the "rules", then we do. [14:57] Hobbsee, you're in my timezone missy [14:58] LjL -- Well this post seems to confirm my feelings that I am being targeted and singled out then. [14:58] emma: you're doing it all by yourself [14:58] Often times, other ops tell me I am paranoid or should wear a tinfoil hat for thinking that. [14:58] emma, you are, because of how you behave. [14:58] you don't need our help with that at all [14:58] emma, well yes you are, there is no mystery about it... we don't treat single messages sent to IRC separately, like they were each from a different user. [14:59] emma: if you wish to troll about an israeli company, you may. You may not to do so in #ubuntu-offtopic, after having already monopolized the conversation for a long time. [14:59] Your targeting me and singling me out is what escalates this kind of thing. [14:59] wow i came into an interesting conversation [14:59] nah. kahrtan got done earlier. [14:59] hey sudobash [14:59] emma, your persisting in being a troll is what gets you targeted and singled out [14:59] emma, your behaviour makes us feel uncomfortable. sometimes we do not want to have to wait for the end of The Book Of Emma before finishing it. [14:59] :) [14:59] I was not trolling. My comments were within the context of a conversation with other people. It was a natural comment within a natural conversation. [15:00] then i think we'll have to agree to disagree on the definition of trolling [15:00] emma, you're trolling right now. [15:00] The reason I was banned, it would seem, is that my comment was too true and not pleasant to the ops. [15:00] let me explain. [15:00] very interesting... *sits back and watches* [15:00] it's better than the daytime soaps [15:00] * Myrtti has an "IRC dinner" [15:00] lol [15:01] mindspring wow i havent seen them in a while [15:02] did you all see that Atlanta got hit by a tornado? [15:02] CNN's windows got busted out and they lost a PC [15:02] sudobash, do you have anything to discuss with us? [15:03] sudobash, do /who *mindspring.com and see how many you can find [15:04] if she starts to troll anywhere else, can someone make sure that they forward her in the same way? [15:05] sudobash: can we help you? [15:06] no i'll be quite [15:06] sudobash, no idling in here [15:06] see /topic [15:06] so if you have nothing to discuss with us, /part is your best friend [15:07] well can i monitor the chat and report stuff here? [15:07] (unless you were ban forwarded here) [15:07] ...if you do have something to discuss, now is the time [15:07] sudobash, the !ops command does that for you. Other things don't need to be forwarded [15:07] cool [15:08] so, please use the /part now :) [15:08] so !ops nick will forward what just the nickname to this channel? [15:08] and have a nice day :) [15:08] sudobash: !ops | nick - and use only in serious emergencies [15:08] gah. stop triggering my highlights.
