MenZaelky: it is inexplicable.05:33
elkyif roasted utters the n-word, he's wilfully doing something he's been told not to, and should be forwarded to the dunce corner.05:34
MenZaOr just bashed around with a cluebat.05:34
elkyi don't recall prescribing the method by which he gets to the dunce corner.05:35
MenZaheh05:35
MenZaFor the record, I gave asmodeus1 a long explanation of how rm -rf [rootdir] works, and why he shouldn't ever do it.05:36
MenZa!dangerous05:36
ubottuDO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you!05:36

guntbertHi19:36
guntbert!lucid19:36
ubottuLucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT release and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+119:36
guntbertshouldnt that sentence read ... Lucid is NOT released ... ?19:36
guntbertnot ... release ...19:37
Picilucid =~ s/release/released/19:38
Pici!lucid =~ s/release/released/19:38
ubottuI'll remember that Pici19:38
Piciguntbert: Thanks19:38
guntbertPici: you're welcome :-)19:38
cyb3rickHello there..19:42
ubottuIn ubottu, guntbert said: ... Lucid is NOT released ...antivir19:44
Picicyb3rick: Hi, how can we help you?19:45
cyb3rickI'm not able to join the ubuntu channel since yesterday.19:45
cyb3rickI forgot I had the connection opened and was kicked from the channel (apparently). Every time I try to join the channel it tells me to type "test me" or join this channel for help.19:46
Picicyb3rick: Can you please try again. I've made a modification so that it should properly test you.19:47
cyb3rickPici: Should I type "test me" here?19:48
Picicyb3rick: not here, in #ubuntu-read-topic19:48
cyb3rickPici: Oh, ok.19:48
arandnick kibibyte is ranting, despite told to stop, #ubuntu21:15
ubottuguntbert called the ops in #ubuntu (kibibyte won't stop his ranting)21:15
ubottuepinky called the ops in #ubuntu (kibibyte)21:15
tsimpsonarand: that's what the ops call is for21:17
Piciheh. christel's notice went out on all the projectors for the uds rooms21:19
arandok, I thought it'd be better not to dump the ubottu messages in the channel for cleanliness purposes.21:19
tonyyarussoHey, I just had a guy who recently set up a new LoCo channel tell me that he was instructed to put 'freenode-staff' in the access list.  Does this supercede '*!*@freenode/staff/*', and should I be changing mine?21:56
Priceytonyyarusso: freenode-staff is useless21:58
Priceytonyyarusso: *!*@freenode/staff/* is the correct version21:58
Priceytonyyarusso: also, #freenode is probably a better place for a more definitive answer to that21:58
naliothtonyyarusso: either serves as "allowing freenode staff to op when necessary", but the one with the full mode line is best21:59
tonyyarussoHrm, okay then.21:59
tonyyarussonalioth: btw, it was h00k , and he said you told him, so....  :P22:00
naliothtonyyarusso: yeah, i know.22:00
tonyyarussoall righty.  that'll be all.22:01
* elky suspects that so long as the intention is clear, it'd work.22:01
naliothexactly22:01
naliothbut again, the full line is best22:01
tonyyarussoSaves time/effort I'd imagine.22:02
Sir_KonradHi!22:12
=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
PiciSir_Konrad: Hi, how can we help you today?22:14
Sir_KonradHi just a sec.22:15
Sir_KonradHey Pici, I came to ask for some support. Me and another user have created #osdebate because of the problem with OS debate running around on #ubuntu-offtopic and other Ubuntu channels. Would it be okay if you added a factoid to the bot or something to direct OS debates to that channel?22:16
tsimpsonfirst off, it should be ##osdebate22:17
Sir_Konradtsimpson: I ask respectively for the reason.22:18
Sir_Konrad*respectfully22:19
tsimpsonbecause that's freenode channel naming policy22:19
PriceySir_Konrad: Check out http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming22:19
* tsimpson was just about to dig that link up22:19
Sir_Konradoops. I'm sorry.22:19
Priceyfirefox's awesome bar ftw22:21
Sir_KonradOk, I made it.22:21
Sir_KonradAlright. I'm sorry. Problem solved.22:23
tsimpsonif you have a factoid suggestion, you can /msg ubottu (trigger) is <reply> (what you want ubottu to say)22:23
tsimpsonthen we'll see it here and review22:23
Sir_KonradOk.22:23
tsimpsonso, "/msg ubottu foo is <reply> foo bar" to have !foo say "foo bar"22:24
Sir_Konradright.22:24
ubottuIn ubottu, Sir_Konrad said: !osdebate is Please direct all operating system debate to ##osdebate. Operating system debating is not constructive to the Ubuntu community and can result in flame wars.22:26
elkysometimes it can be constructive though. "Debating about Operating Systems can result in flame wars, and flame wars are not constructive to the Ubuntu community" is probably more accurate.22:27
Sir_KonradOk.22:28
jussi01!windows22:28
ubottuFor discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents22:28
Sir_KonradSo do I need to type the thing again or will you change it elky?22:28
jussi01Sir_Konrad: leave it with us, we will ahve a think about it and add it if we feel necessary. feel free to pop back in a couple of hours if you like22:34
Sir_KonradOk. Thanks jussi01. :)22:34
Sir_Konradsee you guys later or tomorrow.22:34
