Prefixohh ouch00:24
connorwell, it is ubuntu-offtopic00:24
Prefix!o4o00:24
ubottuSome things are inappropriate for #ubuntu-ops. Controversial topics, which always turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionably legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy)00:24
__mikemconnor: yes, but offtopic does not = anything goes00:24

mDemocrituselky: true...00:32
* PriceChild resists bearded lady quips00:33
mDemocritusgoodbye then... keep up the good work :D00:33
mneptokconnor: "feigns" is synonymous with "fakes." and "synonymous" means "means the same thing as."00:33
mneptokconnor: there's no charge for the vocabulary lesson, other than doing em the courtesy of not having to deal with you for at least a week. feel free to type /part00:34

mneptokoh, and BYE CONNOR00:38
elky_workhotpocket, here's a complimentary clue: we have been doing this long enough to know better.00:38
hotpocketwhat?00:38
hotpocketim being seroius00:38
hotpocketserious*00:38
hotpocketi didnt get to read the resopnse00:38
hotpocketresponse* as to why i was banned from #ubuntu00:38
PriceChild1213227136 00:32:16 <+PriceChild> connor: spamming it seems.00:38
mneptokhotpocket: your spammy, trollish behavior has earned you a ban.00:38
PiciBecause you and your 'brother' can't act in a civilized manner.00:38
hotpocketi dont spam and troll in #ubuntu thats the thing00:39
elky_workPici: dont forget his 'friend'00:39
mneptokhotpocket: you may expect to be banned from any #ubuntu channel i may find you in.00:39
Amaranthdarn, logs are an hour behind :P00:39
mneptokhotpocket: funny how your reputation gets around, eh?00:39
hotpocketok00:40
mneptokhotpocket: i'm reasonably sure some of my fellow ops will echo my sentiment about banning you on sight in any channel henceforth.00:40
hotpocket>___>00:40
mneptokhotpocket: your pubescent nature may draw you to IRC drama like a moth to a flame, but before you give into temptation, be aware the flame usually wins.00:41
hotpocket>__>00:43
mneptoki think i have decrypted it. > is "d" and _ is "u" and _> is "h"00:52
hotpocketwhat?00:52
hotpocketoh haha00:52
elky_workmneptok: you are a decrypting genius00:55
hotpocketso i am permabanned from #ubuntu, correct?00:57
elky_workuntil you can demonstrate some level of maturity, such as being completely honest about what you did.00:59
elky_workgenuine apologies also go along way, and we know the difference.00:59
hotpocketOk, the truth is01:00
* elky_work raises an eyebrow01:00
hotpocketMe and ghost were bored, it was the off-topoic board, I don't use it, and we decided to spam it a little bit, it was mainly him, I was just saying stuff like lmao and stuff like that, I didn't spam near as much as him though01:01
hotpocketBut I did spam a LITTLE though01:01
elky_worknow apologies (note plural) for that, and the revolting cyber comment would be appreciated01:02
hotpocketI'm sorry about the spamming and I'm sorry about the cyber sex thing.01:03
hotpocketI also didn't think the cyber thing would make the situation so bad01:03
elky_workhotpocket: as a female on irc, your cyber comment made me feel uncomfortable as it's hard enough to be taken seriously and not seen as a sex object.01:05
* elky_work raises the other eyebrow this time01:07
hotpocketI apologize for any unsettlements I might have caused in the ir channels01:19
elky_workmneptok, do you accept these apologies enough to let him back into #ubuntu?01:23
mneptokelky_work: i accept them enough to rethink things in 72 hours or so01:40
hotpocketThanks01:41

AmaranthIt is headed this way01:57
Amaranthon the track that tends to mess up omaha bad01:57
Piciyikes01:57
AmaranthSeeker`: about 15 miles away01:57
Amaranthout in the country01:58
Amaranthwe were chasing it :)01:58
nickrudtornadoes make me glad I live in earthquake territory01:58
Seeker`I would imagine that the wind is still pretty high at 15 miles01:58
hotpocketbazhang: what?01:58
mneptokAmaranth: seek shelter in the deep mountain valleys of Nebraska01:58
Amaranthit was a small tornado that time01:58
Pici!idle | hotpocket01:58
ubottuhotpocket: Please keep in mind that this channel is for operator/abuse questions only, and we ask you to part when you have no further business here, in order to keep track of users with pending inquiries.01:58
hotpocketoh ok01:58

bazhanghotpocket, no idling here; come back in 3 or 4 days time01:58
bazhangoops01:58
* Seeker` has slept through every earthquake he could have felt01:59
PiciI live in nothing territory01:59
Amaranthyikes01:59
Amaranthhundreds of boy scouts were at a camp that got hit01:59
Amaranthunconfirmed reports of 4 fatalities02:00
nickrudyeah, saw that02:00
* Seeker` is in the UK. We have mostly overcast weather. Which isn't known for its deadly properties.02:00
Seeker`ouch02:00
AmaranthSeeker`: it _always_ rains there02:00
Seeker`not always02:00
nickrudA Londoner said he felt right at home in Seattle02:00
Amaranththey have larger crews clearing the road to that camp02:00
Amaranth-r02:00
* Pici has always wondered if tornadoes are unique to the geography of the US...02:01
Seeker`we have a few weeks of hazy sunshine every year, which constitutes summer02:01
AmaranthSeeker`: i was there for 4 days, it rained 3 of them02:01
Seeker`Pici: No02:01
Seeker`Pici: There have been a couple in the UK02:01
nickrudyup. Sounds like Seattle.02:01
Seeker`nothin like the scale of the US though02:01
PiciSeeker`: hm02:01
stdinrecently in Birmingham and London iirc02:01
nickrudit's that cold northern air hitting the warm gulf air02:01
Seeker`Amaranth: what time of year were you here02:01
Amaranththe rivers are shut down due to flooding, no barge traffic02:01
Amaranthpeople are freaking out02:02
AmaranthSeeker`: september02:02
bazhangyesudeep2 in ubuntu02:02
Seeker`Amaranth: I can imagine they would be02:02
Seeker`Amaranth: Yeah, thats autumny, which means that it will rain :P02:02
Seeker`we had brilliant weather yesderday, had a BBQ02:02
Amaranthcrap, the tornadoes are all rain-wrapped02:03
Seeker`Amaranth: So at what point do you leave IRC to run and hide?02:03
AmaranthSeeker`: when my modem dies02:03
Seeker`"rain wrapped"?02:03
nickrudwhat kind of building are you in?02:03
bazhang<yesudeep2> Uplink: And DONT EVER run this command rm -rf /.  It deletes everything that you have permissions for.02:03
AmaranthSeeker`: it means what it says02:04
nickrudsaw that. Wonder sometimes if it's innoculation, or temptation02:04
AmaranthSeeker`: they are basically invisible unless you know what you are looking for02:05
Amaranthbecause it just looks like heavy rain02:05
Amaranth"Often an observer can not tell the difference between a rain-wrapped tornado and a heavy rain curtain until the tornado or rain curtain is right on top of them. Many motorists have been killed by rain-wrapped tornadoes."02:05
PiciMakes sense02:06
Seeker`whats so bad about it being rain-wrapped02:07
PiciBecause you can't tell if its just a big thunderstorm, or if theres a tornado somewhere in there02:08
Seeker`ah, fair enough02:10
* Seeker` is too tired to think properly02:10
Amaranth4 confirmed dead at that camp02:19
Amaranthdunno who they are though02:19
Seeker`:(02:25
Amaranththe storm chaser that got hit by that tornado sounds like he is about to break down and cry02:25
Amaranthhe was out there to try to spot these things to prevent such things but around that time the national weather service radar went down and their radar data was old02:26
Amaranththus they got hit by the tornado and couldn't update people on the direction it was heading02:26
Amaranthtornado near the local air base02:28
Amaranththat's in bellvue, an omaha suburb02:28
nickrudAmaranth are you in a house, or a hefty building?02:29
Amaranthi'm in an apartment building02:29
nickrudI could *not* afford to not have presentable clothing ;)02:36
elky_worknickrud: the one in spain wanted money to do the laundry... like twenty euros for a pair of undies kinda money.02:37
Seeker`bedtime02:37
nickrudheh. Doncha just love price gouging02:37
Seeker`Amaranth: hope that tornado doesn't get too close02:37
nickrudNow I'm afraid to carry on shaving cream02:38
Amaranthtornado shifted02:40
Amaranthheaded for council bluffs on the other side of the river now02:40
Amaranthit's hailing over there02:40
Amaranthof course that's like 15 minutes of driving away so...02:41
Amarantheep02:43
Amaranththunder non-stop for a minute02:44
Amaranthreally loud02:44
nickrudAmaranth does your wireless reach the basement?02:44
Amaranthi don't have a basement02:44
elky_workif it's that close, i doubt the wireless would work anyway02:45
nickrudany reason to urge you to a safer place. The blow by blow is getting scary02:45
Amaranthi'm having fun :)02:46
Amaranthi'm actually outside02:46
nickrudgotta 360 view I hope02:47
Amaranthnope02:47
Amaranthbasically zero view, really02:47
Amaranthi have people inside watching the news that'll knock on the window if i need to go02:48
Jack_SparrowSpeaking of 360 view....  nickrud..  go to google... maps.. type in your address.. click on the picture that comes up...  360 view driving by your house.. most large metro areas are covered02:48
Amaranthand if i hear or see something bad i'll let them know02:48
nickrudJack_Sparrow they missed my street. But it's getting closer02:48
Jack_SparrowScary stuff02:49
Jack_Sparrownight02:49
nickrudchecked out the place I lived in San Antonio a while back, and its ... gone!02:49
Jack_Sparrownickrud remind me to tell you about San Antonio some time..02:49
nickrudnothing would suprise me about San Antonio02:49
nickrudonly city I've seen that has more countryside than cityside02:50

Amaranthview was solid white and then everything shook02:53
Amaranthi don't think i've ever moved that fast before02:54
nickrudradar seems to say it's about to pass you02:56
Amaranthyeah well02:56
Amaranthlocal guy just said this will continue in the area until midnight02:56
nickrudpass omaha anyway02:57
Amaranthit's so crazy they said if you hear thunder at all take shelter because they have no idea where the tornadoes will pop up and they are popping up everywhere02:57
nickrudat least earthquakes don't keep you waiting02:58
Amaranththey have even less warning though03:01
nickrudyah, none. None of this tension, wondering if you're in the path03:01
mneptoknickrud: you can build a tornado shelter. an earthquake shelter is basically the word "relocate"03:23
* Hobbsee tickles mneptok03:24
nickrudmneptok yes. And it'll work if you see it coming.03:24
mneptokoy Hobbsee03:25

* Hobbsee curses the law of the toast.03:25
nickrudwhat, if you drop it it falls butter side down?03:26
Hobbseeyeah03:26
Hobbseesame with the biscuit box, when it's open.03:26

Amaranthi'm in omaha now but that's where i'm from05:24
* elky_work hands hobbsee a spare cat to tape to the toast or biscuit box.06:02
Madpilotelky_work, no, tape the cat to a piece of buttered toast, and create an antigravity machine.06:03
elky_workMadpilot: yes, the theory of perpetual motion06:05
elky_workthat's what i was implying06:05
elky_workMadpilot: murphy's law of antigravity is dependant on the theory of perpetual motion06:08
Madpilotat least until the cat figures out how to get the buttered toast off it's back :)06:08
elky_workMadpilot: in which case you butter the cat and fit a cone collar on it.06:08
Madpilotheh. the theory works on the "toast always lands butter-side down" realization, though. What's the scoop with buttered cats?06:09
tonyyarussoThey taste just like chicken, but furrier.06:10
elky_workwell, the theory works equally well with toast as a dry cracker or pancake, so why not just skip the toast/cracker/pancake and apply the butter direct to the cat? saves on food wastage06:10

tonyyarussoIs it possible to construct a network data storage medium (such as an NFS server) such that users can view and modify the files on it, but can not copy them to another medium?19:12
PriceChildWell if you can view something, you can copy what you see?19:12
PriceChildIt could be possible by restricting the client software, and the clients that can connect to the share?19:12

Xcellwell.. as i stated.. im running 7.10.. it has a feature to where U submit ststistics19:36
PiciI'm unsure what that has to do with firefox crashing19:37
Xcellapp\systools\ubuntu device manager19:37

Xcellpici  why the ban.. im a helper19:51
Xcellim a good guy19:52
PiciXcell: Could you please explain to us what you were troubleshooting by enabling statistics?19:52
ompaulthe lack of direct question answering and the straying back to #ubuntu when we were trying to talk with you19:52
PiciBecause from our view, it doesnt look like you were helping.19:52
Xcelllets say i was wrong.. and mistaken.. is this a good reason 4 A ban?19:52
ompaulXcell, if you were serious you might have (a) not wandered off for coffee and (B) not been messing with the bot for no good reason when a conversation was to be had here19:53
Xcellhey.. im a helper to the best that i can.. ok19:54
ompaulXcell, I could say your behaviour does not speak well to that agenda and your help was lacking from what I could see19:54
ompaulI could say19:54
Xcellompaul--  ive helped alot of folks..19:55
PiciSo then its okay to fool people into following directions that will do nothing to help their issue?19:56
ompaulI did not see any evidence of that19:56
XcellI do the best that I can.. why?.. I respect Ubuntu19:56
Xcellthat being said.. stop it19:57
ompaulyou are not answering the questions put directly too you and you are not commenting on the comments being addressed to you19:57
ompaulthis is the behaviour of a troll19:57
ompaulit measures up to it in plenty of ways19:57
PiciIf you wish to contest that observation, just answer our questions :)19:57
Xcellompaul--  i am new to the forum.. be patient.. I understand i put 8.04 down.. be honest.. folks dont have time to play... they need an os that works.. be honest.. I am. I still luv U all. ok?19:58
ompaulXcell, give me evidence of you helping people irclogs.ubuntu.com go back a fair bit19:58
ompaulXcell, not ok19:59
Xcellompaul--  be honest.. 8.04 is broke.. right?19:59
ompaulXcell, please leave this channel think about your comments in #ubuntu #ubuntu-ops #ubuntu-offtopic and come back at the weekend and perhaps just perhaps we can have chat about your access to the channel19:59
