netbookIf only people viewed it as a numbers game instead of ideological bs, it would've passed a while ago04:05
kermitnetbook: who cares about liberty, freedom, rights, all that nonesense, as long as i have predictable medical expenses.06:54
kermitalso as a numbers game i'm pretty sure any government run industry fails miserably at that too06:54
* tonyyarusso wishes it was just a sensible single-payer bill already instead of all of this patchy fix nonsense07:07
Takyoji*facepalm*17:01
TakyojiAnother standards group, and all the documents are in Word format, not even PDF: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/saq/instructions_dss.shtml17:01

kermithow many linux users do you suppose there are in minnesota?   yet i've only found 3 real time minnesota linux forums.. here, #tclug, and #mn260020:02
kermiti don't think any of these 3 are big enough to be isolated from #tclug20:03
kermityet some ppl are in #mn2600 and here but not #tclug20:03
netbookI am sure there are quite a few, but they don't take the next step and go to linux groups20:33
netbookI reckon 28,000 users in Minnesota20:45
kermiti started on linux before ubiquitous internet access, so i had more local peers in linux then in 1997 than now20:46
TakyojiIt would be interesting to tally how many people at each installfest.20:46
kermitactually i had more local peers of any sort in 1997 than now, i still havent recovered from the internet20:46

kermit(2010-03-22 23:48:29) gorkey: like how when you compare linux to windows ... from someone outside looking in, you see the linux experience of all this nightmarish bullshit of compilation, package management, poor integration, steep learning curve, etc over windows ... consoles offer that over a PC.  it's sleek, it's easy, it's plug in and go23:49
kermitdamn windows zealots23:49
Alpha_Clusterum are you really surprised?23:54
kermitno, he's a troll23:54

kermitjust put in the disc and go23:55
Alpha_Clusterhave you used windows 7?23:56
