elkyum... -ot discussion is... well... not really pleasant02:41
elky"leaf-sheep> Girls love ropes. Especially the one they can't break out." etc02:42
MenZavavar in #ubuntu's got a bit of an attitude; it's nothing serious yet, but I'd like to have someone with #ubuntu access around if they persist.03:40
MenZaSeems to be fine.03:44
MenZatonyyarusso: Would you say that was the correct course of action in -ot?04:31
elkyMenZa, the correct course, or the politically correct course?04:32
MenZaelky: :P04:32
tonyyarussoMenZa: seems to have worked, so, yes?04:33
MenZatonyyarusso: so would a +b, but I doubt that'd be considered 'correct course'04:34
MenZaknowing aubade, he wouldn'tve stopped unless I flexed my muscles a bit, so I went for that approach.04:34
MenZaalright, cheers.04:34
* MenZa goes back to perusing #ubuntu04:34
tonyyarussomeh04:34
elkyalthough opping up is a last resort thing, not something you do to frame a factoid04:35
* MenZa nods04:35
MenZaI'll keep that in mind04:35
=== Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth
MenZabazhang: Would creating a HFS+ partition be an issue? I mean, as long as there's no specific support on the actual installation or configuration of the software itself, it's just a partition05:45
MenZaTechnically you can run a Linux system off HFS+05:45
MenZa(According to the Ultimate Source of Truth)05:46
bazhangMenZa, if he were to be installing on a Mac, not as far as I know; he has admitted however to wanting to use hackintosh05:46
MenZabazhang: Still, though. There's no point in bringing it back up, though.05:46
bazhangMenZa, my inclination is to ask him to desist; if senior operators wish to correct me (wrt hackintosh)05:48
tonyyarussoI haven't seen the conversation, but I'll chime in that I would be inclined to agree that hackintosh discussion is outside of our guidelines.  Although there is some grey area there, for instance if what they're asking about is how to dual-boot Ubuntu on their hackintosh...  Dunno about that one.05:50
bazhanghe was asking how to install iacktos v7 on an amd computer05:51
MenZaIn my lastlog, all I saw were references to create a HFS+ partition. I'd be inclined to agree with youf if I'd seen that :)06:15
naliothhackintosh is off topic (it violates agreements)06:32

Alvinwarewhy i have been banned again just after a day of my lifted ban?10:41
AlvinwareI didn't done any things wrong.10:42
Alvinwareplease answer me.10:42
FlannelAlvinware: Your ban wasn't lifted10:44
Alvinwarewhy?10:44
AlvinwareIt were lifted at yesterday.10:44
FlannelAlvinware: Because it wasn't lifted yet.  The standard reason for it not being lifted would be: you haven't discussed your behavior to the operator's satisfaction.10:45
Alvinwareyou're wrong.10:46
Alvinwarewho banned me again? is it ikonia?10:50
jussi01Alvinware: just a moment please10:50
FlannelAlright, seems to be that one of your bans was missed yesterday, let me go ahead and remove it.10:52
jussi01DOne10:52
Flanneler, let jussi01 beat me to removing it10:52
jussi01Alvinware: feel free to join #ubuntu, but please remember the guidelines10:52
FlannelAlvinware: Double check that you can join #ubuntu now please10:52
Alvinwarethank you.10:53
ikoniasorry chaps, I thought I'd got them all for him11:07
Flannelikonia: No worries11:07
ikoniahe had some many because he was ban dodging11:07
FlannelI jsut didn't see anything in the lastlog, and ubottu on the internet was being slow11:07
jussi01!away > heroid11:23
ikoniaI'm coming to the point where I am want freenode to take action against the archlinux-offtopic trolls11:26
ikoniathey are posting spam links in #ubuntu for fun11:26
Tm_Tikonia: slap st-aff15:43
* genii-around sips16:08
Tm_Tikonia: if you have logs'n'stuff, I would like to read them aswell16:20
MenZaAs would I17:49
ikoniaTm_T: MenZa it's been going on for ages, they discuss it in #archlinux-offtopic then do it for a laugh in #ubuntu, just ban them now each time they do something as it's pointless giving them the benifit of the doubt when they are discussing/laughing about doing it in #archlinux-offtopic17:59
MenZaikonia: Any common themes, anything to look out for in particular?18:00
ikonianope18:01
MenZahm18:01
ikoniathey are in #archlinux-offtopic - talk about doing things LIKe TALKINg LIKe THIs To ANNOy PEOPLe18:01
ikoniaor posting their blog llinks18:01
ikoniathat sort of thing18:01
MenZaright18:02
* MenZa is now in #archlinux-offtopic to spot trouble.18:02
ikoniaor "ubuntu suck"18:02
ikoniathe list is endless18:02
Myrttithey've given the whole distribution a bad name in my books18:02
ikoniavery much18:03
PiciMyrtti: mine too18:03
ikoniamore so when some of them are supposed to be active developers18:03
ikoniaI'm actually a little dissapointed in freenode not taking action against this, but I'm sure they have their reasons18:03
* Pici looks at their channel topic18:04
MenZaI noticed this also18:04
* Pici tucks away the window where it wont be annoying18:05
MenZaikonia: There's not really a lot to do to a channel like that collectively, I guess.18:05
ikoniato be honest - I don't care about that, they can be loser with their topic/rules, but the attacking other channels it not acceptable18:05
MenZaPici: Mine's resting nicely in /window 8418:05
PiciMenZa: 50 here18:05
Piciwell, 49 now.18:05
MenZaheh18:05
* MenZa gives Pici the massage he's earned for his pdpc mask.18:06
ikonianot everyone wears the mask ;)18:06
MyrttiI think I might've forgotten my powerbrick at my sisters - I'm pissed18:06
MenZaikonia: I'm, alas, stuck at student. Still, I feel happy for contributing.18:07
MenZaikonia: Also, I was thinking, perhaps the IRCC could make contact with the #arch-ot channel leaders and point out the issue?18:08
PiciI like the alliteration in mine.18:08
MenZaIt's just an odd idea, though. I guess sending an e-mail signed by the IRCC might have an affect.18:10
MenZaI'm pretty sure if complaints were sent from the ##windows folk to our IRCC, they'd take action immediately.18:10
naliothMenZa: any contact should be directed at Archlinux itself, not " #archlinux-offtopic channel leaders "18:13
MenZaI assumed they were the same people.18:16
MenZaand that arch-ot was an official channel of the Archlinux project.18:16
naliothoh, it is an "official channel", but they may not structure their project's irc space like we do18:18
PiciAnd the current channel operators don't seem to be doing anything about the issue, obviously.18:18
MenZanalioth: point.18:19
MenZaPici: An official inquiry might change that.18:19
naliothMenZa: to the mother ship18:21
MenZa\o/18:28
Flannelyay ban evading20:15

ubottuPlease don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.20:41

Flannelnot the school/fedora stuff, but that's not important20:47
PiciFlannel: I saw you were adjusting modes while he was talking in here, just was trying to get your attention to this channel.20:48
