| nhaines | I think dankeschön is one word. | 18:24 |
| kdub | sorta, germans have a thing against the space bar i guess | 18:28 |
| nhaines | kdub: if you want two words you can say "vielen Dank". :) | 18:32 |
| DarkwingDuck | Whoot | 18:44 |
| iheartubuntu | iwantothankyouforclearingthatuppen | 18:45 |
| DarkwingDuck | hehehe | 18:45 |
| DarkwingDuck | Kinda like "Ubuntu is african for 'I can't configure debian'" | 18:46 |
| nhaines | Well, "dankeschön" is a special word, and it doesn't mean the same thing as "danke schön" which doesn't make sense but be two unrelated words "thank" and "beautiful". | 18:46 |
| iheartubuntu | ouch :) | 18:48 |
| jamiedmattingly | kinda like spanish porque is why and por que is because | 18:48 |
| nhaines | jamiedmattingly: right. Same letters but three different words. :) | 18:49 |
| MarkDude | http://librivox.org/the-awful-german-language-by-mark-twain/ | 18:52 |
| MarkDude | Good podcast that describes how German language makes words up | 18:52 |
| nhaines | Sure, but "dankeschön" isn't an example of one of those. :) | 18:53 |
| MarkDude | Even funnier- it is read by a German person, you hear him trying not to laugh as he says stuff | 18:53 |
| nhaines | Is it a podcast or is it just a reading of Mark Twain's essay? | 18:54 |
| MarkDude | The language permits making up words that can be a paragraph long | 18:54 |
| MarkDude | podcast of his essay | 18:54 |
| MarkDude | and has link to written form | 18:54 |
| nhaines | You keep on using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. | 18:54 |
| nhaines | But that essay is fictional. :) | 18:54 |
| MarkDude | Of course you are correct nhaines - most of what Twain did had a *wink* to it | 18:55 |
| MarkDude | His *fiction* can have more truth to it- than most non-fiction | 18:56 |
| MarkDude | BTW, Ubuntu means: | 18:56 |
| MarkDude | My wireless cards work :D | 18:56 |
| nhaines | I really threw pleia2 off with that one. :) | 18:58 |
| MarkDude | nhaines, that quote is so good- the other Distro folks I told that - hella laughed | 18:59 |
| MarkDude | and then started talking about the work they were having to do with Broadcom - to get it to work | 18:59 |
| nhaines | We had too many people for me to quip like that each time unfortunately. I'll have to pull stills from the archive video to get a count. | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | MarkDude: the canonical version of the joke is "Ubuntu is an ancient african word, meaning "I can't configure Debian"" but there are about a zillion versions of it now | 19:00 |
| nhaines | We have attendance counts for all of the sessions except the introductions. | 19:01 |
| MarkDude | pleia2, I know :D that was where I 1st heard it I think | 19:01 |
| pleia2 | ah :) | 19:02 |
| MarkDude | Sitting in a room installing Fedora- the truth that nhaines said- folks agreed | 19:02 |
| MarkDude | The oh crap - my install is not working. If I really want it to work, I need install Ubuntu- even the backhanded compliments acknowledge how GREAT Ubuntu is :) | 19:04 |
| iheartubuntu | i like spelling german numbers like 2732 becomes something like: zweitausendsiebeneinhundertzweiunddreissig | 19:04 |
| nhaines | That's just efficient, that's all. :) | 19:08 |
| nhaines | Anyway, I wouldn't call my quip a "truth", it was just a joke that relied on the audience knowing the meaning and origin of the word "ubuntu". | 19:09 |
| MarkDude | nhaines, Um it is a truth | 19:10 |
| MarkDude | the other side of the proprietary debate- is the it just works | 19:10 |
| MarkDude | My work with other Distros has proven that Broadcom can equal 2+ hours of my life to add to Fedora | 19:11 |
| MarkDude | or sometimes more | 19:11 |
| MarkDude | Similar to earlier Ubuntu installs involved me using additional wifi cards | 19:12 |
| nhaines | I've always just dumped the firmware in /lib/firmware and gone on with my life. :) | 19:12 |
| MarkDude | For some the early GK meeting wifi issues were met with 2 choices- add a 2nd card, or spend some time | 19:13 |
| MarkDude | Maybe Ubuntu folks may not see it as a truth, but folks from other Distros do, even if begrudgingly | 19:14 |
| iheartubuntu | nhaines - I was thinking about the coming release in April in regards to placing an Ubuntu Store shipment. I figure that the release is still almost two months off. Maybe some maverick stuff will go on sale, maybe it wont. I dont know. | 19:21 |
| iheartubuntu | I will still go ahead with this order for anyone interested and can tweak the quarterly shipments to different dates as I learn more to how Ubuntu runs sales and releases new items. | 19:21 |
| nhaines | iheartubuntu: it's a lot less important if you're splitting shipping costs. :) | 19:22 |
| nhaines | But yeah, shipping's a real killer. | 19:22 |
| iheartubuntu | do they sell markdude masks in the ubuntu store by any chance? | 19:34 |
| iheartubuntu | i wanna grab me one of those | 19:34 |
| pleia2 | hah | 19:34 |
| MarkDude | iheartubuntu, no- maybe there are Doug Stanhope masks- I had a few folks say I remind them of him | 19:35 |
| * iheartubuntu googles Doug Stanhope | 19:36 | |
| iheartubuntu | oh yah | 19:36 |
| MarkDude | Not a deadringer or anything, but even I can see a bit of it | 19:37 |
| MarkDude | More so then when folks say Dave Grohl http://www.oyunlab.com/8-Music-resimleri/5025_Dave-Grohl_resimleri.html | 19:38 |
| MarkDude | Although when I put a pic of Dave as my profile pic on FB, only a few folks noticede | 19:38 |
| * iheartubuntu has removed his personal FB page | 19:40 | |
| MarkDude | Every time a person says that | 19:41 |
| MarkDude | all I hear is..... | 19:41 |
| MarkDude | I chose not to talk to the majority of folks under 25 - on *their* terms | 19:42 |
| * MarkDude found out he was speaking at a conference- *via* FB | 19:42 | |
| iheartubuntu | i just dont want to incriminate myself somehow :) | 19:42 |
| MarkDude | chat no-less | 19:42 |
| MarkDude | All sorts of business deals happen that way- some folks prefer to send that way- many opportunities can be lost this way | 19:43 |
| MarkDude | Dont post then. | 19:43 |
| MarkDude | *Consume.* | 19:43 |
| iheartubuntu | happen which way? | 19:44 |
| MarkDude | FB | 19:44 |
| iheartubuntu | serious? | 19:44 |
| MarkDude | 100% | 19:44 |
| iheartubuntu | i just sold my car on ebay | 19:44 |
| iheartubuntu | not fb | 19:44 |
| MarkDude | By that logic, we need not progress past newspaper classifieds | 19:45 |
| MarkDude | Since it can work | 19:45 |
| iheartubuntu | wait wait, are you now a Facebook spokesperson? ;) | 19:45 |
| iheartubuntu | i saw you shmoozing their booth! | 19:45 |
| iheartubuntu | didnt they scan your iris and take your dna before talking to them? | 19:46 |
| MarkDude | At least 1/3 maybe 1/4 of folks I know consider it almost rude not to send a message on FB | 19:46 |
| * MarkDude is sure he can work for them, BUT, dont think I am saying that they ARE NOT evil- they are | 19:46 | |
| MarkDude | FB is at the min- a TOOL | 19:47 |
| MarkDude | like paper, pen, etc | 19:47 |
| iheartubuntu | as is money | 19:47 |
| * iheartubuntu has never been called a tool before | 19:47 | |
| MarkDude | you can be an asshat, by using a typewriter to tell folks how cool you are or some dumb stuff | 19:48 |
| MarkDude | just because MOST folks choose to do stupid things with creative tools | 19:48 |
| * kdub would say that facebook is more amoral with user's private information than evil | 19:49 | |
| kdub | but i still use it :) | 19:49 |
| MarkDude | Beauty can still be created. The truths contained within should not be judged by the *base users* | 19:49 |
| iheartubuntu | i think that would be correct kdub | 19:49 |
| MarkDude | your nuance is mreo correct kdub | 19:49 |
| MarkDude | more | 19:49 |
| iheartubuntu | mr eo... i thought you were talking about MJ | 19:50 |
| MarkDude | iheartubuntu, to answer your earlier question- most of what most people do on FB is all about ego, IMHO. | 19:51 |
| pleia2 | MarkDude: you need better fb friends :) | 19:51 |
| * MarkDude got back in touch with his best friend from high school | 19:52 | |
| pleia2 | I see it as just a communication platform | 19:52 |
| MarkDude | pleia2, myh friends are awesome | 19:52 |
| pleia2 | but egomaniacs? | 19:52 |
| pleia2 | I guess you do have a lot of CMs as friends ;) | 19:52 |
| MarkDude | Just trying to extrapolate, what others see as so horrible about FB | 19:52 |
| pleia2 | they tend to be very Out There | 19:52 |
| MarkDude | rofl | 19:52 |
| iheartubuntu | yah, i met up with most of my HS friends too. most of them have become bigger idiots than they already were | 19:52 |
| MarkDude | Thats funny because it is true | 19:52 |
| pleia2 | iheartubuntu: lol | 19:52 |
| MarkDude | iheartubuntu, I agree. | 19:53 |
| MarkDude | But sorting through 100+ people is worth it for TRUE friends | 19:53 |
| MarkDude | and YES, if there was no FB, we would have got in touch other ways | 19:53 |
| MarkDude | pleia2, not as much my friends, but friends of friends | 19:54 |
| iheartubuntu | actually i think most of the people i got back in touch with were from grammar school | 19:54 |
| iheartubuntu | 8 years with them all | 19:54 |
| MarkDude | #1 thing I use FB for? | 19:54 |
| MarkDude | organizing events, picnics in REAL life | 19:54 |
| pleia2 | I mostly use it to stay in touch with family, they fail at email and I hate phones | 19:55 |
| MarkDude | getting together with friends- maybe 1/2 of those prefer FB as way to do it | 19:55 |
| MarkDude | My Grandma like seeing pics of grandkids etc | 19:55 |
| * iheartubuntu just got his first cellphone in 5 years | 19:55 | |
| iheartubuntu | i dispose them | 19:56 |
| iheartubuntu | errr, despise them | 19:56 |
| iheartubuntu | both actually | 19:56 |
| * MarkDude agrees there. | 19:56 | |
| MarkDude | In my heart, I still resist the idea of the portable phone | 19:57 |
| MarkDude | It is a leash | 19:57 |
| MarkDude | And then I stop to think - would I resist the phone coming into my house early last century. Would I have viewed cars as scary compared to horses | 19:58 |
| iheartubuntu | i really enjoyed not having a phone | 19:59 |
| MarkDude | And when folks were living in caves, there had to a few of them scared about fire | 19:59 |
| MarkDude | iheartubuntu, me too | 19:59 |
| MarkDude | When I did was on jobsites, I would not take one | 20:00 |
| iheartubuntu | my goal with the phone now is to be more productive | 20:00 |
| * iheartubuntu enjoys coin dozer and glow hockey 24/7 | 20:00 | |
| iheartubuntu | well, that didnt work | 20:00 |
| MarkDude | I used to tell bosses - they would have to give the phone they were trying to hand me to someone else | 20:00 |
| iheartubuntu | just kidding, i dont have time for games | 20:00 |
| MarkDude | give it to an Apprentice, they can bring me the phone if it is important | 20:01 |
| * MarkDude still cant believe I got away with that crap | 20:01 | |
| MarkDude | iheartubuntu, you always have time to stop for a game | 20:02 |
| MarkDude | and to smell a rose | 20:02 |
| MarkDude | maybe not time for games, or roses :) | 20:02 |
| * MarkDude was thinking the only thing that Charlie Sheen is missing right about now is mocking Anon? I mean all he needs to do is poke the bear. | 20:08 | |
| MarkDude | I am having a hard time thinking he does not have writers in a basement coming up with this crap | 20:08 |
| MarkDude | I mean, I need to get work done. He needs to take a break I can get stuff done | 20:09 |
| iheartubuntu | haha markdude | 20:31 |
| * MarkDude does not delight in downfall of others | 20:31 | |
| MarkDude | UNLESS they are horrible people | 20:32 |
| MarkDude | He is there. | 20:32 |
| * iheartubuntu made his companies brochure using Scribus :) looks sweet | 20:33 | |
| MarkDude | Or this picture about uninstalling dictators http://imgur.com/gallery/HFFd1 | 20:33 |
| MarkDude | Scribus is a great program, very powerful | 20:33 |
| nhaines | ishimeru: good morning! | 23:28 |
| iheartubuntu | does anyone here have admin rights in the forums? im requesting a name change there so all of my acct info matches up | 23:48 |
| pleia2 | I didn't thing that was even possible | 23:56 |
| pleia2 | (the forum faq say they can't except in extreme cases) | 23:57 |
