[01:08] firefox bugs inflame trolls now? /me is confuzzled [01:20] nalioth: Misunderstood bugs inflame people who are looking to be inflamed. [01:21] nalioth: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/08/07/1521208 [01:21] Even the title is inflamatory [01:21] or, suggestive, I suppose. [01:23] not vey well worded, is it? [01:25] So they're using alpha software and upgrading packages willy-nilly without reading changelogs etc. etc. [01:25] You will get burnt! [01:26] Pricey: but, but, but! [01:26] google has made me think that alphas are stable and meant for mainstream users! [01:28] I like 'knarf's comment. [03:00] In #ubuntu, phyrrus said: ubottu who is bucky [03:06] In #ubuntu, MT- said: !cnf is If you get an error that the command is not found, this means the application that suplies this command has not yet been installed. You can use either !apt or !synaptic to find and install the application. [04:01] !away > danl [04:31] i would like thanks to iknoia, who lifted my ban recently [04:31] and stew also,, who helped me a lot [04:31] zhxk, we'll let him know [04:31] s/him/them/ [04:31] ok [04:36] oh really now. [04:36] does someone want to fill the IRCC in on this? [04:37] he's getting a second cloak? [04:37] bazhang: is he? [04:38] nalioth, he is requesting one [04:38] requesting doesn't mean "will be granted" [04:38] zhxk` had one; good point [04:38] bantracker doesn't list any bans from "zhxk" search, what am I missing? [04:40] hmm, no, seems he isn't banned. That I can see anyway. === stew_ is now known as Guest63811 [05:39] hello, folks, may i have a cloak at this moment? [05:42] hi [07:40] ugh Bilok [07:41] ah, this guy. [08:18] lengthy PM with Bilok [08:19] he is 'loved' on ##mac and #gentoo and banned both places apparently (also says he has 3 k-lines in past) [08:38] !nickspam > vagothcpp [08:41] bazhang: ##mac is the troll pit [08:41] or is that ##macosx [08:42] ask nalioth, he knows which is which [08:42] it's which ever one fujisan hangs out in [08:42] he's not online, I normally use that as the guide [08:42] haha [08:43] ##mac is the more trollish of the two. neither are free of the smell of mutton [08:43] sucks when your north star heads south.... [08:43] nalioth: They've got lambs? [08:43] Flannel: you are a sorry excuse for a nerd. :| [08:43] Flannel, mutton is post-lamb. [08:44] Flannel, for example, you rarely buy true lamb in a supermarket, it's usually mutton. [08:44] nalioth: Eh? [08:45] Flannel: you've not read any of Master Tolkiens works? [08:45] nalioth: I have... I was attempting at a joke, it obviously didn't go over well. [08:45] sorry, it's way past my bedtime [08:46] Flannel, and i didn't get it in general. the only joke i can pull from it now that you state it is, would be 'no, they're wolves dressed up' [08:46] ikonia, I see. never spent time in there [08:47] I went in there by accident when I should have been in ##apple [08:47] haha [08:47] fujisan, bacta, the whole troll crew where in ther [08:47] there [08:47] whoa [08:53] let's hope they do not prepare something [08:59] too dense [09:01] nalioth: if you're awake check out evet he's hit ##linux ##unix #ubuntu ##windows and a few others by the looks of it offering his servers to an open source project....but then stating the prices of his provide...almost like an advert. [09:49] heh, bacta is slighting staff in #defocus now [12:19] there should be a factoid for dentistry [12:19] getting answers feels like pulling teeth at times === Guest63811 is now known as stew [13:30] Hi I would like to request the removal of my ban in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:31] Bacta, considering your behaviour after our discussion last night, are you seriously asking this? [13:31] What behaviour? What did I do? [13:32] I said "PURPLE!" somewhere but that was it [13:32] well, i am in #defocus [13:32] What did I do in #defocus? [13:32] and i was not impressed with what you were saying in there, particularly about staff. [13:32] It was a joke [13:32] it wasn't funny. [13:32] Did you examine the context with which it was said? [13:33] If njan had a problem about it he would've made contact with me and he hasn't [13:35] Bacta, i'm not comfortable letting you back in to our channels given your behaviour past and present. I'm not confident of you being genuine in your attempts to change your behaviour. You have baited #ubuntu-artwork twice within the past 24 hrs, once whilst trying to tell me you have given up trolling, and once since that conversation ended. [13:36] I'm in a number of ubuntu channels where nobody has had a problem with me [13:36] I've actually helped someone in #ubuntu tonight and have been chatting with some Vietnamese Ubuntu users [13:37] Bacta, i am still not convinced. [13:37] talking about the adware in Ubuntu is helping? [13:38] No someone came in trying to decide whether to get i386 or AMD64 [13:38] no matter how many people you might help, to allow you do continue with things such as offering "free abortions" would be gross negligence. [13:38] I'm not a doctor therefore I couldn't legally perform an abortion [13:39] that doesn't mean anything. [13:40] It was a dumb thing of me to say [13:41] and we don't want the chance you'll say more dumb things. [13:41] So therefore I'm no longer allowed in #ubuntu-offtopic? [13:41] until there's a drastic change in your behaviour, yes. [13:42] !appeals [13:42] If you disagree with a decision by an operator, please first pay #ubuntu-ops a visit. If you are still unhappy, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/AppealProcess for the steps you should take. If you feel the need to discuss the channel rules, please contact the ops on IRC or via the email address on the aforementioned page. [13:42] But provided I behave myself I can stay in the channels I currently am in? [13:42] that's for the operators of those channels to judge. [13:42] Awesome :) [13:42] if you mess up, you'll receive the consequences. [13:42] consequences? [13:43] like, say, being banned. [13:43] Ah ic ic [13:43] Yes bans are usually not good [13:45] do you have any further business here? [13:46] Business? You couldn't validate my parking coupon could you? [13:46] Bacta, not unless you make a purchase. [13:46] If I could purchase smooth fullscreen Flash support I would but otherwise I guess I'll be leaving [13:47] We don't currently sell anything. [13:48] xe cam on [13:48] goodbye :) [13:48] bye. [13:50] and so he turns his attention to #css to tell north and south korea to stop fighting because they're both really chinese. [13:51] * elky headdesks [13:51] and no, there was no conversation there for it to be relevant to. [13:51] of course not. [13:54] and now baits staff in #defocus again [14:00] he likes fishing [14:09] Gary, and he does it in lots of channels and gets away with it, consistently. [14:09] of course he sees no reason to change, he keeps getting the green light by being allowed to stay on the network. [14:11] oh, and by getting the attention he wants from the staff he baits. [14:12] if he is talking to us in #defocus he is generally not active in other channels [14:14] troll bait [14:15] Gary, you dont see a problem with having to entertain a baiting troll by letting him bait in #defocus instead? That seems to me to be an incredibly broken process. [14:21] and look. he's now baiting us in #ubuntu. [14:31] cast the bait some where in the water like you would with, well fishing bait :) AFK [15:11] i am searching how to write lambda sentnce on deburiijn form <--best ot question for awhile [15:20] snuxoll called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic () [19:36] * genii makes more coffee [21:04] !proxy [21:04] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. [21:05] I thought mibbit is banned from freenode? [21:05] guntbert: It is [21:05] then someone sholud maybe change the above factoid :-) [21:05] *should [21:06] You are probably right guntbert. Thank you for pointing it out [21:06] ok, bye [21:10] Would someone with access to the ubottu factoids mind making the necessary change to the !proxy factoid ? [21:20] @login [21:20] The operation succeeded. [21:22] !proxy [21:22] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [21:23] Thanks popey [21:23] np
