czajkowskikim0: you're back  again10:27
czajkowskiyay10:27
kim0yeah.. the Internet is back10:27
nigelboooh, things are getting better then!10:27
kim0well .. he agreed to the people's requests, except it's all "promises"10:28
czajkowskinods10:28
kim0no decisions .. most people have zero trust in the current gov10:28
kim0now they're allowing internet access again, to make us feel everything is over10:29
dpmheya kim0!10:29
kim0while hopefully it isn't just yet10:29
* kim0 hugs dpm 10:29
kim0dpm: missed ya buddy10:29
* dpm hugs kim0!10:29
kim0Advice to all US citizens, you really want to decline that Internet kill switch law thing :)10:30
czajkowskiheh10:30
* czajkowski hugs kim0 welcome back 10:31
* kim0 hugs czajkowski 10:31
kim0thanks10:31
* kim0 prepares to get back in shape10:31
Pendulumkim0: glad you're back! :)10:33
kim0Pendulum: thanks man :)10:33
kim0glad to be back indeed10:33
Pendulumkim0: woman :)10:36
Pendulum(as in, I am one :) )10:36
kim0oh shit :)10:36
* kim0 hugs Pendulum 10:37
Pendulums'ok :)10:37
* Pendulum hugs kim0 10:37
kim0Pendulum: thanks a million .. really appreciate it10:37
PendulumIt's not apparent if you don't know me :)10:37
kim0It would be my pleasure to .. some day hopefully10:37
kim0Just a couple of days away, and I'm back on hundreds of emails, thousands of news items ..etc sigh10:39
czajkowski:(10:40
dpmkim0, so how are people feeling today? Do you think te pressure on Mubarak will be kept?10:43
kim0hmm .. I would hope so .. He has provided only promises, to me false ones, the price was 300 dead young-people, that is too much a price to pay for promises10:44
kim0However many people are tired by now, his words are convincing as well .. sounds so sincere10:45
kim0people are getting split .. I would think the majority will still be out again this Friday to get him out immediately10:45
kim0The amount of incorrect info on national TV is astonishing .. it's almost not funny anymore ;)10:46
dpmis national TV also very much controlled by the government, then? Do you have access to many nationwide private TV channels?10:48
kim0Yes, it is super controlled! Many people have access to satellite TV stations (AlJazeera, BBC...) that they watch to actually know the updates10:49
kim0The gov actually forced shutting down AlJazeera multiple times the past few days10:50
kim0it's been a cat/mouse game .. changing the frequency every few hours, and shutting it down again !10:50
dakerLoL10:50
nigelbwow10:50
dpmyeah, I read about AlJazeera being shut a few days ago10:52
dpmdid not know about the frequency changes, though, wow10:53
kim0So current natty breaks closed nvidia drivers ? or actually vice cersa :) can someone confirm11:01
dholbachkim0, on Al Jazeera lots of people yesterday talked about a "different reality" in state media11:02
kim0Yeah, it's like they're living in Wonder land .. there are 2 million people on the streets, and they're filming 100 people saying that's all there is. Besides hundreds of pro-Mubarak calls all the time explaining how wise is it to keep the current regime ..etc11:03
dpmkim0, on nvidia: yeah I saw that, thus I held on the xorg upgrade.11:04
kim0hmm I hate to hold out on upgrades :) seems like I'll do that too11:05
dholbacheven if Mubarak goes in September, there's going to stay a lot of old faces in government and positions of power - so I can see why people stay on the streets and say "it's not over yet"11:05
kim0absolutely .. problem is some people are starting to buy that sweet talking .. wishing for a stable country back .. etc11:06
dakerkim0, after all that, he wont leave!!!, it's a proof that the USA and Israel are supporting him11:07
dholbachI liked how somebody said "there's no way we can go back to the country we were a week ago"11:07
kim0If we wait 6 months, we might though :)11:08
duanedesignkim0: hello!14:32
duanedesignkim0: good to see (read) you14:32
duanedesign:)14:32
duanedesignI just heard on the radio that internet was back on.14:32
kim0duanedesign: Thanks, same here14:43
duanedesignkim0: well i wisk you, your family, friends, and countrymen the best of luck14:44
duanedesignwish*14:44
kim0Thanks, we'll need it14:45

jcastromhall119: he wants a way to remove the drives from the unity launcher15:02

Pendulummy parents had to extend a trip to California 2 extra days due to the weather. My father keeps telling me how nice it is. I told him next time he can send me somewhere warm and he can have the snow.15:05
jcastroeveryone was so excited about the snow day15:05

paultagthis is not looking good15:17
PendulumI am sadly unsurprised :(15:18
dakerMubarak sent his thiefs to throw stones & acids to the people15:20
paultagyeah, that sounds about right15:21
paultagI really hope who's in charge next won't take the US's bullshit with extraordinary rendition15:21
JanCdaker: those throwing stones etc. were police officers in civil dress apparently15:26
dakeryes15:29
dakerpolice officers, thiefs , people from the NDP15:30
dakercamels and horses runing everywhere15:30

JanCat least the Army didn't intervene...15:33
nigelbThat would be the last thing they want to do.15:33
JFooh yeah15:33
dakerkim0 has disappeared again15:33
JFothe military should be for the people over all15:33
kim0I'm here .. it's just horrible :/15:34
JanCJFo: the politicians and the police should be for the people too  ;)15:34
JFotrue, but when all else breaks down, the basic function of an armed service is to protect the people15:34
JFois or should be that is15:34
JFo:)15:34
kim0To protect the "nation" they say15:35
JFoindeed15:35
kim0which you can understand anyway you want to15:35
JFowell, it is left ambiguous for a reason :)15:35
kim0any way*15:35
JFostay safe kim015:36
kim0They're burning the people .. throwing molotov from buildings onto protestors15:39
jcastro!!!!15:39
JFoI can see some of that15:40
JFothey are also saying that they suspect the government of trucking these people in for them to destabilize the protests15:40
JFoI hope that isn't the case15:40
dakeriti15:42
dakerit's the govt15:42
jcastrokim0: is there anything you need done on the internet we could help you with?15:43

paultagPendulum: yeah, I recall :)15:55
nhandlerWe have a tone of snow in Chicago (you should watch the video nixternal tried to make last night)15:56
Pendulummost of our problem is that we've gotten hit so many times without things melting in between15:56
paultagdholbach: whoh.15:56
PiciWe didn't get too badly in NJ this time, but it was still an icy commute this morning.15:56
Pendulummost things around here are shut due to ice today15:57
jcastrowe shut everything down15:57
jcastrobut the snow wasn't that bad, so they feel dumb15:58
Pendulumwe had one of those a couple weeks ago15:58
jcastroexcept the kids playing outside of course15:58
Pendulumbut we've gotten hit by a storm midweek just about every week this year15:58
PendulumI think we missed one15:58
Pendulumand it's stayed cold so nothing's melting15:58
Penduluma whole bunch of roofs have collapsed in CT :(15:58

dakerWow the Egyptian Museum is burning, that a BIG disaster16:01
Pendulumoh no :(16:01
PiciOh dear.16:02
JFoI don't think it is daker, I thought that was the firebombs in the road16:02
JFothey thought that it was due to smoke16:02
JFobut I thought they later said it was the road and the angle they were filming from16:02
JFoI *hope* it isn't on fire, I want to visit someday :-/16:04
PendulumI really hope it's not on fire either16:04
dakeractually no one can confirm that, the only person who can confirm is Dr. Zahi16:04
