[00:11] <doctormo> Someone decided to spam me with 1,000 emails to gmail. I guess after a 1,000 google decided it might be spam. heh.
[00:11] <doctormo> Still made a mess of my inbox... took me all of 30 seconds to clean up.
[00:13] <doctormo> Wow the ships come in today... 10 questions confirmed me as the answer, 120 axubuntu points.

[10:25] <kim0> Morning everyone
[10:25] <nigelb> hey, kim0 !
[10:25] <kim0> nigelb: hey
[10:25] <nigelb> kim0: How are you? Are you all okay?
[10:25] <nigelb> kim0: So glad you finally got internet \o/
[10:25] <kim0> Yeah all fine thanks ..
[10:25] <kim0> I dropped by a bit yesternight
[10:26] <nigelb> Ah, I missed that bit :)
[10:27] <czajkowski> kim0: you're back  again
[10:27] <czajkowski> yay
[10:27] <kim0> yeah.. the Internet is back
[10:27] <nigelb> oooh, things are getting better then!
[10:28] <kim0> well .. he agreed to the people's requests, except it's all "promises"
[10:28] <czajkowski> nods
[10:28] <kim0> no decisions .. most people have zero trust in the current gov
[10:29] <kim0> now they're allowing internet access again, to make us feel everything is over
[10:29] <dpm> heya kim0!
[10:29] <kim0> while hopefully it isn't just yet
[10:29]  * kim0 hugs dpm 
[10:29] <kim0> dpm: missed ya buddy
[10:29]  * dpm hugs kim0!
[10:30] <kim0> Advice to all US citizens, you really want to decline that Internet kill switch law thing :)
[10:30] <czajkowski> heh
[10:31]  * czajkowski hugs kim0 welcome back 
[10:31]  * kim0 hugs czajkowski 
[10:31] <kim0> thanks
[10:31]  * kim0 prepares to get back in shape
[10:33] <Pendulum> kim0: glad you're back! :)
[10:33] <kim0> Pendulum: thanks man :)
[10:33] <kim0> glad to be back indeed
[10:36] <Pendulum> kim0: woman :)
[10:36] <Pendulum> (as in, I am one :) )
[10:36] <kim0> oh shit :)
[10:37]  * kim0 hugs Pendulum 
[10:37] <Pendulum> s'ok :)
[10:37]  * Pendulum hugs kim0 
[10:37] <kim0> Pendulum: thanks a million .. really appreciate it
[10:37] <Pendulum> It's not apparent if you don't know me :)
[10:37] <kim0> It would be my pleasure to .. some day hopefully
[10:39] <kim0> Just a couple of days away, and I'm back on hundreds of emails, thousands of news items ..etc sigh
[10:40] <czajkowski> :(
[10:43] <dpm> kim0, so how are people feeling today? Do you think te pressure on Mubarak will be kept?
[10:44] <kim0> hmm .. 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 promises
[10:45] <kim0> However many people are tired by now, his words are convincing as well .. sounds so sincere
[10:45] <kim0> people are getting split .. I would think the majority will still be out again this Friday to get him out immediately
[10:46] <kim0> The amount of incorrect info on national TV is astonishing .. it's almost not funny anymore ;)
[10:48] <dpm> is national TV also very much controlled by the government, then? Do you have access to many nationwide private TV channels?
[10:49] <kim0> Yes, it is super controlled! Many people have access to satellite TV stations (AlJazeera, BBC...) that they watch to actually know the updates
[10:50] <kim0> The gov actually forced shutting down AlJazeera multiple times the past few days
[10:50] <kim0> it's been a cat/mouse game .. changing the frequency every few hours, and shutting it down again !
[10:50] <daker> LoL
[10:50] <nigelb> wow
[10:52] <dpm> yeah, I read about AlJazeera being shut a few days ago
[10:53] <dpm> did not know about the frequency changes, though, wow
[11:01] <kim0> So current natty breaks closed nvidia drivers ? or actually vice cersa :) can someone confirm
[11:02] <dholbach> kim0, on Al Jazeera lots of people yesterday talked about a "different reality" in state media
[11:03] <kim0> Yeah, 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 ..etc
[11:04] <dpm> kim0, on nvidia: yeah I saw that, thus I held on the xorg upgrade.
[11:05] <kim0> hmm I hate to hold out on upgrades :) seems like I'll do that too
[11:05] <dholbach> even 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"
[11:06] <kim0> absolutely .. problem is some people are starting to buy that sweet talking .. wishing for a stable country back .. etc
[11:07] <daker> kim0, after all that, he wont leave!!!, it's a proof that the USA and Israel are supporting him
[11:07] <dholbach> I liked how somebody said "there's no way we can go back to the country we were a week ago"
[11:08] <kim0> If we wait 6 months, we might though :)
[14:32] <duanedesign> kim0: hello!
[14:32] <duanedesign> kim0: good to see (read) you
[14:32] <duanedesign> :)
[14:32] <duanedesign> I just heard on the radio that internet was back on.
[14:43] <kim0> duanedesign: Thanks, same here
[14:44] <duanedesign> kim0: well i wisk you, your family, friends, and countrymen the best of luck
[14:44] <duanedesign> wish*
[14:45] <kim0> Thanks, we'll need it
[14:58] <jcastro> cjohnston: hey alright, mark answered your question
[15:01] <mhall119> which question?
[15:01] <duanedesign> hello jcastro
[15:01] <jcastro> howdy howdy
[15:02] <duanedesign> jcastro: did detroit get any snow?
[15:02] <jcastro> mhall119: he wants a way to remove the drives from the unity launcher
[15:02] <jcastro> duanedesign: yeah but it's a big yawn, like 4-5 inches instead of the 14 they said
[15:02] <jcastro> they already shut the schools down and everything
[15:02] <jcastro> now everyone's  like "..."
[15:02] <duanedesign> we set a record here in Tulsa, 14+ inches
[15:03] <jcastro> wow!
[15:03] <jcastro> bought time you guys got some real snow. :)
[15:03] <mhall119> it's like 75 F outside here
[15:04] <Pendulum> mhall119: that's really not fair to say :(
[15:04] <duanedesign> jcastro: hahaha, right
[15:05] <Pendulum> my 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] <jcastro> everyone was so excited about the snow day
[15:06] <jcastro> except for me, since I don't get snow days anymore, heh
[15:06] <Pendulum> heh
[15:06] <jcastro> I bet people just go drinking today
[15:06] <Pendulum> we're on day 2 of snow days, except today is really an ice day :(
[15:16] <daker> it's going to be Civil war in egypt
[15:17] <paultag> yeah
[15:17] <paultag> this is not looking good
[15:18] <Pendulum> I am sadly unsurprised :(
[15:20] <daker> Mubarak sent his thiefs to throw stones & acids to the people
[15:21] <paultag> yeah, that sounds about right
[15:21] <paultag> I really hope who's in charge next won't take the US's bullshit with extraordinary rendition
[15:26] <JanC> daker: those throwing stones etc. were police officers in civil dress apparently
[15:29] <daker> yes
[15:30] <daker> police officers, thiefs , people from the NDP
[15:30] <daker> camels and horses runing everywhere
[15:30] <daker> in tahrir sq
[15:31] <Pici> Sounds scary.
[15:31] <daker> VERY scary
[15:32] <JFo> very scary and exciting at the same time
[15:33] <JanC> at least the Army didn't intervene...
[15:33] <nigelb> That would be the last thing they want to do.
[15:33] <JFo> oh yeah
[15:33] <daker> kim0 has disappeared again
[15:33] <JFo> the military should be for the people over all
[15:34] <kim0> I'm here .. it's just horrible :/
[15:34] <JanC> JFo: the politicians and the police should be for the people too  ;)
[15:34] <JFo> true, but when all else breaks down, the basic function of an armed service is to protect the people
[15:34] <JFo> is or should be that is
[15:34] <JFo> :)
[15:35] <kim0> To protect the "nation" they say
[15:35] <JFo> indeed
[15:35] <kim0> which you can understand anyway you want to
[15:35] <JFo> well, it is left ambiguous for a reason :)
[15:35] <kim0> any way*
[15:36] <JFo> stay safe kim0
[15:39] <kim0> They're burning the people .. throwing molotov from buildings onto protestors
[15:39] <jcastro> !!!!
[15:40] <JFo> I can see some of that
[15:40] <JFo> they are also saying that they suspect the government of trucking these people in for them to destabilize the protests
[15:40] <JFo> I hope that isn't the case
[15:42] <daker> iti
[15:42] <daker> it's the govt
[15:43] <jcastro> kim0: is there anything you need done on the internet we could help you with?
[15:44] <paultag> +1 jcastro
[15:47] <Pendulum> jcastro: +1
[15:47] <jcastro> http://www.wimp.com/babyrocker/
[15:48] <JanC> I'm just reading people in civil clothes beat up & "arrested" a Belgian journalist today; I guess they don't like foreign reporting...
[15:49] <jono> morning all!
[15:49] <dholbach> JanC, I read that somewhere else too, lots of other journalists got the same treatment
[15:49] <Pendulum> morning jono
[15:49] <daker> that's not the ppl it's the govt
[15:49] <jcastro> jono: harassment page is all up to date now and finished. \o/
[15:49] <jcastro> got the local info
[15:49] <dholbach> daker, I believe you
[15:49] <jono> thanks jcastro :-)
[15:50] <jcastro> we have a call today in 10 right?
[15:50] <dholbach> jcastro, yes
[15:54] <jcastro> Pendulum: where are you based out of?
[15:54] <Pendulum> jcastro: northern CT
[15:54]  * jcastro is trying to map the blizzared OSS people in his head
[15:54] <jcastro> oh cool, have you always been there?
[15:54] <jcastro> why did I think you were from NYC, hmmm
[15:54] <paultag> gross
[15:54] <paultag> Yankees suck!
[15:54] <Pendulum> I lived in NYC for a couple years ending in May :)
[15:55] <Pendulum> paultag: I'm a Red Sox fan
[15:55] <Pici> Go Mets!
[15:55] <Pici> <.<
[15:55] <jcastro> ohhhhhhhhhhh
[15:55] <Pendulum> I grew up in New England
[15:55]  * paultag hugs Pendulum 
[15:55] <paultag> Pendulum: there's a reason I love ya.
[15:55] <paultag> Pici: :P
[15:55] <Pendulum> paultag: I'm almost into MA, actually
[15:55] <dholbach> if you haven't seen live pictures of Egypt yet, check out http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ - it gets you an idea quite quickly
[15:55] <paultag> Pendulum: yeah, I recall :)
[15:56] <nhandler> We have a tone of snow in Chicago (you should watch the video nixternal tried to make last night)
[15:56] <Pendulum> most of our problem is that we've gotten hit so many times without things melting in between
[15:56] <paultag> dholbach: whoh.
[15:56] <Pici> We didn't get too badly in NJ this time, but it was still an icy commute this morning.
[15:57] <Pendulum> most things around here are shut due to ice today
[15:57] <jcastro> we shut everything down
[15:58] <jcastro> but the snow wasn't that bad, so they feel dumb
[15:58] <Pendulum> we had one of those a couple weeks ago
[15:58] <jcastro> except the kids playing outside of course
[15:58] <Pendulum> but we've gotten hit by a storm midweek just about every week this year
[15:58] <Pendulum> I think we missed one
[15:58] <Pendulum> and it's stayed cold so nothing's melting
[15:58] <Pendulum> a whole bunch of roofs have collapsed in CT :(
[15:59] <Pici> Eek.
[15:59] <Pendulum> mostly without injury to humans, but they did have to put some horses down :(
[15:59] <jcastro> yikes
[16:01] <daker> Wow the Egyptian Museum is burning, that a BIG disaster
[16:01] <Pendulum> oh no :(
[16:02] <Pici> Oh dear.
[16:02] <JFo> I don't think it is daker, I thought that was the firebombs in the road
[16:02] <JFo> they thought that it was due to smoke
[16:02] <JFo> but I thought they later said it was the road and the angle they were filming from
[16:04] <JFo> I *hope* it isn't on fire, I want to visit someday :-/
[16:04] <Pendulum> I really hope it's not on fire either
[16:04] <daker> actually no one can confirm that, the only person who can confirm is Dr. Zahi
[16:05] <mhall119> yeah, things in Egypt are going from bad to worse
[16:19] <daker> http://kalnaga.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/mubarak-thugs-attempting-burning-egyptian-museum/
[16:22] <dholbach> nigelb, what's the state of "write script that shows which loco team members of ~ubuntu-dev, ~ubuntu-bugcontrol are part of"?
[16:23] <nigelb> dholbach: as I told jono, Im working on it now.  Should be done over this weekend
[16:23] <dholbach> great
