dbbhello- I have ubuntu 10.10, and an application I run just posted a nice notification of an upgrade. I could swear it had a link on it.. you know, pops up in the lower right hand corner.. where do I find that? it only lasted a moment04:13
dbbthere must be a list of recent notifications somewhere?04:13

seiunopleia2: have you heard of "Banksy"?  http://www.ifc.com/news/assets_c/02012011_banksy1.jpg06:14

seiuno:|17:51
seiunotoo bad, it was an interesting read.  very passionate.17:51
nhainesakk: try again.  it works here.18:23
jtatumuh18:24
jtatumthis letter is sickening18:24
jtatumi can't abide someone being overjoyed by cancer18:24
nhainesHmm, having read the letter I'm not sure the author actually supports his point in any way.18:28
pleia2tl;dr18:31
pleia2(but mostly for me life is too short to dwell upon such hatred)18:31
pleia2and apple bashing is dull18:32
pleia2nhaines: is http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/ubucon done enough to be linked places?18:34
akkI agree, jtatum. I did get it a little later, but got turned off right away by that part.18:34
akkAnd after that it looked like it was flying off into rantville, so I gave up and went inside and started making rouladen instead.18:36

seiunosickening?  that's hyperbolic.18:46
seiunoBahrain is sickening.  the letter is titillating at worst.18:47
seiunoback to our dull, mundane lives.18:48
* seiuno eats a rich, fatty, sugary food18:48
akktitillating? "pleasantly and superficially exciting"? "sexually arousing"?18:53
akkI guess I gave up before I got to that part of the letter.18:53
seiunostimulating then18:53
seiuno"sensually exciting" according to wiktionary18:54
seiunonot "supeficially exciting"18:54
seiunothough, perhaps all "excitement" is "superficial"18:54
akkI used dict and took the two two definitions from wordnet and gcide.18:55
seiunothat's nice18:55
akkBut regardless, you're clearly having a very different reaction to the letter than most folks here.18:55
seiunothat is obvious.18:55
* seiuno pumps his fist18:56
seiuno"status quo!"18:56
akkYes, clearly the only two choices are the status quo or gleefully rejoicing in someone's sickness and death.18:57
akkCertainly no one here working productively for change, like, say, contributing to free software projects.18:57
* akk wanders off to do more of that18:58
jledbetterSome of us have had loved ones die to cancer so wouldn't wish it on anyone.18:59
seiuno"gleeful rejoicing" is a misrepresentation of the article18:59
seiunosaying he wishes cancer on someone is also a misrepresenation19:01
* seiuno shrugs19:01
jledbetterI'm done.19:01
seiunoi've had loved ones die.  death's inevitably is highly probable.  mirrors cause anger.19:03
seiunoheh19:06
nhainespleia2: as finished as anything else.  The official site isn't coming together as quickly as I'd hoped and I may not have it done until Monday or Tuesday.19:25
pleia2nhaines: ok thanks, was just blogging about it and was curious, went ahead and blogged w/ that schedule19:31
