| kermit | i recently dawned on me that describing locations based on their governing body may be in conflict with the interests of the describer | 04:09 |
| kermit | like these local ubuntu channels | 04:10 |
| tonyyarusso | That sentence made little sense. | 04:31 |
| kermit | i/it | 04:34 |
| sparklehistory | Still doesn't really make sense to me. | 04:35 |
| _diablo | ugh. I'm sorry for you h00k | 04:38 |
| _diablo | kermit: yup. that's true. | 04:39 |
| h00k | _diablo: regarding? | 04:39 |
| h00k | _diablo: living in WI? | 04:39 |
| _diablo | h00k: yeeeah | 04:41 |
| _diablo | lol | 04:41 |
| h00k | _diablo: hey, man, Wisconsin is a cool place and doesn't afraid of anything | 04:41 |
| _diablo | h00k: ahhhh, a fellow b-tard. I like it :) | 04:42 |
| h00k | ionno what you're talking about... | 04:42 |
| _diablo | s/b-tard/\/b\/tard/ | 04:42 |
| h00k | well done | 04:45 |
| kermit | i was just wondering why regional ubuntu groups are segregated along governmental districts | 04:49 |
| _diablo | kermit: because it's easier to organize in regions. | 04:51 |
| kermit | 'upper midwest' or 'minneapolis' is a region. "US" and "minnesota" are governmental districts | 04:52 |
| kermit | i was wondering if the subtle hat tip to the local governments was intentional | 04:53 |
| kermit | though the US is pretty stable, in some areas the local governing body changes borders and names rather often, so there's extra overhead for what benefit i don't know | 04:55 |
| _diablo | kermit: do other countries even have subdivisions? I thought it was only the US | 05:02 |
| kermit | _diablo: how should i know, i'm american | 05:06 |
| _diablo | kermit: I think I remember reading about that | 05:07 |
| kermit | its just like with country TLDs, many have dissapeared.. i'd hate to have had a website under them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tld#Historical_domains | 05:10 |
| tonyyarusso | Would you prefer we be Ubuntu-89W-through-93W-and-43N-through-49N? | 05:14 |
| kermit | hehe, i would, but i can see how i'd be in the minority there | 05:14 |
| kermit | upper midwest would be better | 05:14 |
| sparklehistory | Minneapolis is also a governmental district, btw | 05:15 |
| kermit | oh | 05:15 |
| kermit | i wasnt totally sure on that one | 05:15 |
| _diablo | kermit: city gov't | 06:05 |
| kermit | _diablo: i'm not 100% clear but it seems like it existed before it incorporated | 06:07 |
| _diablo | kermit: gov'ts do not incorporate | 06:08 |
| _diablo | city charter made it a government | 06:08 |
| _diablo | mexico existed before they had a constitution, doesn't change the fact that they're a nation | 06:08 |
| kermit | i mean, i think the area was called minneapolis before it was a governed independantly | 06:09 |
| kermit | but i'm not sure | 06:10 |
| _diablo | kermit: of course it was. see my mexico analysis above | 06:41 |
| kermit | i have that feeling of disagreement yet i dont think we're disagreeing on anything | 06:55 |
| _diablo | agreed :) | 07:00 |
| tonyyarusso | DISAGREED! | 07:00 |
| _diablo | tonyyarusso: let's step outside. | 07:01 |
| kermit | let's settle this with a race! http://play.typeracer.com/ | 07:01 |
| kermit | er http://play.typeracer.com/?rt=trkermit4 | 07:02 |
