macogwhey so there's this guy i used to date, and he came to #linuxchix (different server) yesterday and today and got himself "asked to leave" because of his attitude, abrasiveness, and sexism, and he came into #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu as htmljunkie about 20 minutes ago asking everyone to flood #linuxchix and basically torment them because he thinks they're man-hating feminists. its more like they just hate his attitude.  he just switched to osx5 (st03:52

Jack_SparrowPici, Hi, my niece may be stopping in shortly to get her laptop setup to play DVD's I plan on checking in every now and then, but I need to go lay down for a bit.  I would appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for her.  Thanks16:25
PiciJack_Sparrow: In which channel?16:26
Jack_SparrowUbuntu16:27
PiciAs?16:27
Jack_SparrowNo idea....16:28
PiciWell, I'll try to helpful then.16:28
Jack_SparrowShe is a ditz.. 16:28
Piciuh oh.16:28
Jack_Sparrowthanks...16:28
Jack_SparrowI emailed her info on setting up medibuntu.. as she seems to have already nmessed that all up...16:29

tonyyarussoMay I suggest a proactive campaign to urge legitimate users to register properly with nickserv if they haven't already prior to the 24th?16:47
Picitonyyarusso: How do you suggest we do that?16:50
Picibesides changing the topic?16:50
tonyyarussoPici: perhaps a topic, or perhaps a once-a-day /notice.  Or just putting it in our quit messages, if any of us ever quit...  :P16:51
LjLdon't like notice16:52
tonyyarusso'k16:52
tonyyarussojust thinking out loud really16:52
LjLyou'd figure the daily +rR's due to attacks would convince those who're ready to be convinced, besides :)16:53
tonyyarussoYou'd _think_, yes!16:53
LjLwell, if those don't, i doubt a notice will do much better16:53
tonyyarussotrue16:53
LjLthose at least *show* you the hassles of not being registered16:53
tonyyarussoAlso, any other brainstorming for any ways to make release day smoother that we haven't thought of already should probably start being tossed around shortly here.16:54
PiciPerhaps a list of factoids to modify16:54
LjLi'm starting to be for an #ubuntu-install for the first couple of days, for install and upgrade questions16:54
ubotuIn #kubuntu, Nirkus said: ubotu: thanks. there is no usb stick image then, i guess?17:05
Picihandled.17:06
tonyyarussohmm, that's not a bad idea LjL 17:06
Meztonyyarusso, why prior to the 24th ?17:10
Mezoh... release day :D hehe17:11
PriceChildMez: will attract nasties17:11
Mezarent we going to do -release-party again ?17:11
LjLthink so17:12
LjLbut that won't stop #ubuntu from becoming unusable for a few day, as usual17:12
Mezjust set it +r and get Floodbot or similar to /msg users that arent ?17:13
LjLhmmm17:13
Mezor force unregistered to join a new channel during the release? (or even just -unregged17:13
LjLnot sure that'd be good17:14
tonyyarussoThat's a bit heavy-handed, and unfortunately, I think it would confuse too many people.17:14
tonyyarussoI'd _like_ it to work, but know too much about users.  :P17:15
tonyyarusso-release-party should still happen though, yes.17:15
LjL!eeepc is <reply> Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC17:56
ubotuI'll remember that, LjL17:56
Seeker`all this planning would be easy if it wasn't for those pesky users18:00
PriceChildSeeker`: I think that makes the solution obvious then.18:01
PriceChildSeeker`: we go to the route of the problem and eliminate it there rather than working around18:02
Seeker`+b *!*@*?18:02
LjLsomeone's saying in #ubuntu that http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download defaults to the 64 bit version for them, any idea...? (doesn't for me)18:05
Seeker`Defaults to x86 for me18:06
PriceChildfine for me... tell them to make sure they've clicked the right one, or try a different mirror18:06
LjLbut the *checkbox* in the download page seems to default to 64bit for him18:07
PiciWhat checkbox?18:07
PriceChildLjL: well then he can check the other one?18:08
LjLthe ones on that page?18:08
PiciI only see one for the alternate disc18:08
LjLPriceChild: yes but he's just asking why on earth the site would default to 64 bit. and i agree: why on earth would it?18:08
LjLPici, under "What type of computer do you have?"18:08
PriceChildfile a bug? what browser?18:08
PiciLjL: Those are radio buttons/selectors.18:09
LjLmeh18:09
LjLwhatever18:09
PiciI'm guessing its some sort of residual form completion bug in his browser.18:09
sarah____hello18:48
