naliothPARTY!01:35
FlannelYou can either do 4 and 3 support in the same channel, or make a -kde3 channel for older versions01:36
naliothkde3 support will be waning01:36
FlannelOnly another year of KDE3 support, yeah.01:36
naliothand that will be only for the folks who've not upgraded01:37
LjLwhich is why i'll probably be switching to something else anyway01:37
Flannelnalioth: Yeah, but we have plenty of people in #ubuntu who have older versions, they won't go away01:37
naliothFlannel: understood, but eventyally, they _will_ go away01:37

Flannelsayedmohu: #ubuntu07:36

Flannelsayedmohu: You weren't helping anyone to help you.07:40
sayedmohui'm a dummy in ubuntu... so how can i help07:40
Flannelsayedmohu: When people ask you questions about your problem, answer them.07:41
sayedmohudidn't u see that i answered???07:41

Flannelblargh.  s/Sunday/Trollday/08:11
jussi01Flannel: is it not monday?08:13
Flanneljussi01: It's 1am, but I haven't gone to sleep yet, so it's still Sunday.  Also, it's the end of the day, and has been this way for an unfortunately large amount of time today.08:13
* jussi01 hugs Flannel08:14
FlannelI imagine it has to do with the upcoming release.08:14
jussi01likely08:14
Flanneloh, and if oly562 steps out of line, ban him.  I've given him many warnings, and had a nice discussion with him.  I imagine he'll wait at least an hour before trying something else though.  But he's really been given too many chances as it is.08:15
Flannelhmmm, jussi01, ubottu seems to be lagging08:33
jussi01!test08:33
ubottusigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed.08:33

cwilluwas about to gripe about the kick-troll in #ubuntu-offtopic.  More because he managed to bait a dozen folks, which defeated my ignore filter :p09:28

jussi01yay for christel :)09:36
elkbuntuchristel, note the scrollback, and i'll grep his stupidity from -offtopic09:37
christelthank you09:37
elkbuntuhe actually left when asked, but is being a serial pest everywhere09:38
Flannelelkbuntu: he timed out when asked, doubt it was intentional09:39
elkbuntuFlannel, it's not the first time he's done this09:39
Flannelelkbuntu: I'm sure.09:39
christelhas he also used a different nick? or is ubuntuhelper the only one?09:40
ikoniawhen he signs in it's ubuntu as he appears to be on a live cd09:40
elkbuntuchristel, see http://pastebin.ca/1237663 -- it's without context, but i'm not sure it's needed. can provide if you want.09:40
Flannelikonia: its actually U first, then he switches to Ubuntu, then UbuntuHelper09:41
elkbuntuchristel, he's only half-registered too09:41
ikoniaFlannel: so not a livecd then by the looks of it09:41

elkbuntuikonia, you'd probably have plenty of optus subnets in your logs. they're a major phone/isp company here.09:42
ikoniathen started to ask people how he could help, 09:42

jussi01elkbuntu: christel do you need the bit from #k just now?09:44
christelnah its ok, in there now09:45
christelhe's been in ##linux previously, though, at the time he was helpful 09:45
ikonialooks like he's been in ubuntu too as admin__09:46
jussi01ok, i spuriously called the ops in #kubuntu, when he didnt get anyone answering09:46

Myrttis/some stupid chick/center of your universe/10:03
|_ockenonono s/center of my universe/center of my best friend's universe and someone i dont care about in the slightest anymore10:05
|_ockeits complicated and very weird, and very much over heh10:05
Myrttisi, if we let you back in #ubuntu-offtopic, will you be ranting about how the "chick" dumped you for your best friend?10:06
|_ockeno10:07
|_ockei dont talk about her anymore :P10:07
|_ockei did  buy her lunch yesterday i guess.. but other than that, she can piss off10:07
|_ockebesides, shes going to rehab next week10:08
|_ockecause shes a stupid little girl with no self control heh10:08
ikonia|_ocke: easy on the language please. 10:08

Myrttiintresting 10:09
|_ockeer, i mean she can ... nevermind just anyways no worries about that10:09
MyrttiI miss irssi and my aliases10:10
|_ockei never could get the hang of irssi10:11
|_ockewhich is why i run xchat210:11
|_ockei do miss some of the functionality of mIRC, but i would never run a native win app in my linux10:11
|_ockei refuse to taint my standard set of apps10:11
|_ockei'll play some random win games with WINE but never something i use regularly10:12

bazhang_|_ocke, please dont idle here10:14
|_ockei'll leave as soon as someone lets me back in #ubuntu-offtopic..10:15
=== myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti
bazhang_|_ocke, that is not the way it works10:15
|_ockebazhang_, but i was supposed to be banned for a month, i didn't come back till now, and its been at least a month an a half maybe 2 or 3 i dunno, i just put it out of my m ind for awhile10:17
|_ockewhy can't i get unbanned?10:17
bazhang_|_ocke, that is independent of idling here10:17
|_ockei didn't protest or try to fight it, i waited till long after.. i just want to get back in the channel10:17
* Myrtti coughs10:17
Myrttithe way I see this is.10:17
|_ockei really am part of the ubuntu community, i run it exclusively, i've converted at least a dozen people from win to ubuntu who still use it (a couple hundred more that i dont know the current status of) and I really love ubuntu, i just want to be part of it10:18
|_ockei just dont see why i should still be banned when its long after the ban was supposed to be removed and the reason for the ban doesn't even exist anymore10:19
MyrttiI *might* let you in the channel, but there seems to be a problem with your compulsiveness10:20
|_ockealso, i've helped at least 3-4 people in #ubuntu resolve their problems and had them tell me in /msg that what I told them fixed what they were having problems with10:20
Myrtti*if* I let you back in, you have to realise you're still on probation10:20
|_ockeyes i realize that10:20
|_ockei won't say anything really stupid or talk about anything that doesn't involve myself personally or computers/linux10:21
bazhang_|_ocke, you have also been offtopic in #ubuntu of late10:21
Myrttigoddamnit I spilt coffee on my bed10:22
|_ockebazhang_, honestly i would've been talking in #ubuntu-offtopic but i was banned :P10:22
bazhang_|_ocke, that is not an acceptable reason to be offtopic in #ubuntu10:22
|_ockebazhang_, it was just responding to other people though you gotta admit that10:22
|_ockei dont want to be offtopic in #ubuntu10:23
bazhang_then dont10:23
|_ockei want to be offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic10:23
bazhang_|_ocke, you were not responding; you started out by being offtopic10:23
|_ockeif you guys unban me i promise i wont say anything irresponsible in offtopic and i wont say anything that isn't just asking an ubuntu-related question or helping with an ubuntu quesion someone else has in #ubuntu10:24
|_ockeif i do anything contrary, i submit to being permanently banned10:24
|_ockeand if i get to a point where i'm so intoxicated that i can't control myself at any point ever i'll disconnect this entire network for the remainder of the night10:25
|_ockenot saying thats a probability, just saying if it happens10:25
bazhang_not very re-assuring10:25
|_ockei'm just trying to cover all bases10:31
|_ockei have a lot of other stuff to do if i'm out partying, i just wanted to say that if i end up at home afterwards i wont bring it here10:31
|_ockeit'd be messed up to lie and say i don't get loaded sometimes10:32
Myrttiok...10:33
Myrttiso10:33
|_ockebut when i'm on irc, i'm on irc, and its not gonna be for anything except computer related stuff, and just to chat, but i am in at least 15 other chans t the same time for that10:33
|_ocke#ubuntu* is for ubuntu related stufff and i'll use it for that only10:33
|_ockewell, except #ubuntu-offtopic, but thats still even somewhat tied to ubuntu10:33
elkbuntu|_ocke, i advise you to not ramble away this opportunity to re-enter the channel. it10:33
MyrttiI've lifted the ban from -offtopic. It'll go back in a heartbeat if I hear anyone complaining.10:34
Tm_TMyrtti: <310:34

ikoniacool14:13
ikoniaI should go back to learning Italian 14:13
LjLactually i always found that pretty interesting14:13
ikoniaor mastering english first14:13
LjLin the sense that, as far as i could see, most italians don't in the least realize that the Z is really two phonemes14:13
LjLmyself, i've played a lot with the AmigaOS speech synthesizer when i was a child, and attempted to make it speak italian14:13
LjLit took me months to realize that "ts" was the thing to make it say for the "z" letter14:14

ubottuI'll remember that, LjL14:38
LjL!lithuanian is <alias> lt14:38
ikoniaLjL: I wonder how microsoft's speech system would work with that as it is supposed to cover languages14:41
LjLikonia: Microsoft's speech uses sampled speech fragments from actual humans, it needs a database for every language it supports14:42
LjLsame as with Festival14:43
ikoniaLjL so does that mean there is an Italias database for it that would say tz = z14:46
ikoniaItalian even14:46
LjLikonia: not quite. there are two databases for each language. one is the actual speech fragments database, which basically has a soundfile for each sound (not really, it's got one for every group of three phones, but anyway)14:47
LjLikonia: then there is a set of rules that tries (and, in italian, generally succeeds, since there's a strong correspondence between writing system and actual phonemes) to translate written sentences into a list of those sounds14:48
LjLikonia: so, most likely, the italian database would already include a recorded soundfile for our "z" sound, not separate "t" and "s" sounds (since they're never used separately anyway)14:49
LjLikonia: when using a synth that generates sounds purely artificially (like AmigaOS's), then you'd still have two layers even there. the sound layer has a collection of phones and their corresponding speech generation parameters (these synths have parameters for mouth aperture, tongue position, etc)14:52
LjLthe other database would be the very same writing-system-to-phones translation one14:52
ikoniaI see what your saying14:53
ikoniaI didn't know it worked like that14:53
LjLikonia: you can't just use the same sounds database for all languages. a "t" in english really doesn't sound like a "t" in italian in most situations (it's aspirate in english, and the tongue is further back than in italian)14:53
LjLikonia: if you used an english phones database together with an italian writing-to-phones translation database (basically what i did on AmigaOS), you'd end up with a voice that speaks Italian with a very strong English accent, and vice-versa14:54
ikoniano of courrse not, I can see how that needs to be seperated14:54
ikoniaI can hear that in my head14:54
LjLthough you'd also have the problem of some phonemes simply not existing14:54
LjLthere is no "th" or "h" sound in italian, and there is no "gn" or "gl" sound in english14:55
ikoniathere is no th14:55
ikoniahow odd14:55
LjLikonia: most not-very-english-savvy italians would pronounce "th" as "s", "z", "f" or "v"14:56
ikoniaLjL can you give me a "word" example of that14:56
LjLikonia: "zey are", "vey are", or "everyfing", "everysing"14:56
ikoniaok 14:56
ikoniafew of them make sense when I hear a few italian friend speaking english14:57
LjLikonia: unless you're an italian with a lisp, in which case ;)14:57
ikoniaall bets are off14:57
MyrttiI guess that relates to how most Finns have difficulties pronouncing olympics14:58
Myrttiwell, in Finnish14:58
LjLikonia: although in italy (which lisp is present) the most common speech defect by far is not rolling R14:58
LjLalthough there are many ways different people with that defect will render their R14:58
jussi01Myrtti: I love the finnish "system" :P14:58
LjLMyrtti: why so?14:58
ikoniahow odd (to me) that not rolling an R is a defect14:58
MyrttiLjL: it's against the finnish phonemes to have o, a or u in the same word with ö, ä or y14:59
LjLikonia: there is a somewhat similar though less common defect in english... "i am woger wabbit"15:00
Myrttiso Olympialaiset is often mangled into Olumpialaiset15:00
LjLMyrtti: ah right, i read something like that on wp15:00
LjLMyrtti: yes, that brings me to another point --15:00
LjLwhich is that generally speaking, an italian *can* pronounce "th" or "h" if they're explained15:00
LjLbut they'll have difficulty actually placing those sounds in a sentence consistently15:01
ikoniaLjL I know the W defect15:01
LjLi'm giving english lessons to a girl for instance now15:01
LjLshe can pronounce "h" fine, if alone15:01
LjLbut she'll either say "i ave" or "hi have", not "i have"15:01
LjLi've given up on the "th" entirely15:02
genii"I ave" you could get by with as Cockney or so ;)15:02
LjLgenii: yeah most of the typical italian oddities when pronouncing english are found in a dialect or another. it's the mixture of them that makes you have an unmistakably italian accent.15:03
geniiInteresting15:03
LjLthat girl also does the "it'sa got" thing, that really gives me the chills. itsa me mario, meh.15:03
LjLmind, my own english pronounciation is quite terrible, but.15:05
geniiLjL: My cousin was born deaf, he learnt to speak through a system which Alexander Graham Bell invented of diagramming the mouth/tongue/throat positions as they related to specific sounds15:06
geniiLjL: He is quite understandable now15:06
LjLgenii: not much different from what generation-based speech synthesizer do. there are a couple interesting ones even packaged in ubuntu, i think (interesting in the sense that they also come with GUI tools that actually show you the tongue etc. positions that they are simulating)15:07
ikoniaLjL: I was about to ask about your accent15:08
ikoniayou type and your gramma is excellent, I was curious to how your wording was15:08
ikoniagenii: that sounds unusual and quite an interesting topic to research15:08
LjLikonia: well, you can check that out. -ot people already did, and found it hilarious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel15:08
LjLjust go to wherever the "spoken version of this article" tag is15:09
LjLor Consonant, too15:09
LjLactually even that venerable AmigaOS synth could output mouth parameters, although i think it only gave mouth aperture (so you could draw a mouth that would move with the speech), not other parameters15:09
ikoniaLjL is the spoken version you /15:10
ikonia?15:10
LjLyeah15:10
ikoniaoh, excellent, I'll grab it now15:10
LjLikonia: and mind, which it's bad enough, i never could have actually recorded it like that. it's a collection of several pieces of sentences, some repeated *several* times until they came out decent15:10
geniiikonia: It's a system called Visible Speech which Bell and his father worked on15:10
LjLi've also made the Spanish version, http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal15:11
LjLthat really sounds much better than the english version15:11
LjLeven though i've never studied any spanish15:11

ikoniaLjL: just looking for headphones as I'm sure the office doesn't want to hear you15:11
LjLthat's for sure15:11

Myrttithe problem is that stupidity isn't strictly forbidden in the rules16:03
