[08:18] the party is clearly here [09:13] if i had a job paying more than $10/hr i would spend the money to hire another person to work on ubuntu === HPV is now known as seidos [09:26] someone tell sabdfl [09:26] or Jane Silber [09:45] compassion -> buddha [09:45] 1 xor 0? [09:45] 1 [16:23] Good morning everyone === Administrator__ is now known as ryaxnb [17:37] anyone know if it is possible to change my email associated with my nickname after registering? === iheartubuntu is now known as iheartubuntu_ [17:41] iheartubuntu_: /msg nickserv help set email [17:41] danke schon === iheartubuntu_ is now known as iheartubuntu [18:24] I think dankeschön is one word. [18:28] sorta, germans have a thing against the space bar i guess [18:32] kdub: if you want two words you can say "vielen Dank". :) [18:44] Whoot [18:45] iwantothankyouforclearingthatuppen [18:45] hehehe [18:46] Kinda like "Ubuntu is african for 'I can't configure debian'" [18:46] 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". [18:48] ouch :) [18:48] kinda like spanish porque is why and por que is because [18:49] jamiedmattingly: right. Same letters but three different words. :) [18:52] http://librivox.org/the-awful-german-language-by-mark-twain/ [18:52] Good podcast that describes how German language makes words up [18:53] Sure, but "dankeschön" isn't an example of one of those. :) [18:53] Even funnier- it is read by a German person, you hear him trying not to laugh as he says stuff [18:54] Is it a podcast or is it just a reading of Mark Twain's essay? [18:54] The language permits making up words that can be a paragraph long [18:54] podcast of his essay [18:54] and has link to written form [18:54] You keep on using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. [18:54] But that essay is fictional. :) [18:55] Of course you are correct nhaines - most of what Twain did had a *wink* to it [18:56] His *fiction* can have more truth to it- than most non-fiction [18:56] BTW, Ubuntu means: [18:56] My wireless cards work :D [18:58] I really threw pleia2 off with that one. :) [18:59] nhaines, that quote is so good- the other Distro folks I told that - hella laughed [18:59] and then started talking about the work they were having to do with Broadcom - to get it to work [19:00] 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] 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 [19:01] We have attendance counts for all of the sessions except the introductions. [19:01] pleia2, I know :D that was where I 1st heard it I think [19:02] ah :) [19:02] Sitting in a room installing Fedora- the truth that nhaines said- folks agreed [19:04] 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] i like spelling german numbers like 2732 becomes something like: zweitausendsiebeneinhundertzweiunddreissig [19:08] That's just efficient, that's all. :) [19:09] 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". [19:10] nhaines, Um it is a truth [19:10] the other side of the proprietary debate- is the it just works [19:11] My work with other Distros has proven that Broadcom can equal 2+ hours of my life to add to Fedora [19:11] or sometimes more [19:12] Similar to earlier Ubuntu installs involved me using additional wifi cards [19:12] I've always just dumped the firmware in /lib/firmware and gone on with my life. :) [19:13] For some the early GK meeting wifi issues were met with 2 choices- add a 2nd card, or spend some time [19:14] Maybe Ubuntu folks may not see it as a truth, but folks from other Distros do, even if begrudgingly [19:21] 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] 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. [19:22] iheartubuntu: it's a lot less important if you're splitting shipping costs. :) [19:22] But yeah, shipping's a real killer. [19:34] do they sell markdude masks in the ubuntu store by any chance? [19:34] i wanna grab me one of those [19:34] hah [19:35] iheartubuntu, no- maybe there are Doug Stanhope masks- I had a few folks say I remind them of him [19:36] * iheartubuntu googles Doug Stanhope [19:36] oh yah [19:37] Not a deadringer or anything, but even I can see a bit of it [19:38] More so then when folks say Dave Grohl http://www.oyunlab.com/8-Music-resimleri/5025_Dave-Grohl_resimleri.html [19:38] Although when I put a pic of Dave as my profile pic on FB, only a few folks noticede [19:40] * iheartubuntu has removed his personal FB page [19:41] Every time a person says that [19:41] all I hear is..... [19:42] 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] i just dont want to incriminate myself somehow :) [19:42] chat no-less [19:43] All sorts of business deals happen that way- some folks prefer to send that way- many opportunities can be lost this way [19:43] Dont post then. [19:43] *Consume.* [19:44] happen which way? [19:44] FB [19:44] serious? [19:44] 100% [19:44] i just sold my car on ebay [19:44] not fb [19:45] By that logic, we need not progress past newspaper classifieds [19:45] Since it can work [19:45] wait wait, are you now a Facebook spokesperson? ;) [19:45] i saw you shmoozing their booth! [19:46] didnt they scan your iris and take your dna before talking to them? [19:46] 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 [19:47] FB is at the min- a TOOL [19:47] like paper, pen, etc [19:47] as is money [19:47] * iheartubuntu has never been called a tool before [19:48] you can be an asshat, by using a typewriter to tell folks how cool you are or some dumb stuff [19:48] just because MOST folks choose to do stupid things with creative tools [19:49] * kdub would say that facebook is more amoral with user's private information than evil [19:49] but i still use it :) [19:49] Beauty can still be created. The truths contained within should not be judged by the *base users* [19:49] i think that would be correct kdub [19:49] your nuance is mreo correct kdub [19:49] more [19:50] mr eo... i thought you were talking about MJ [19:51] iheartubuntu, to answer your earlier question- most of what most people do on FB is all about ego, IMHO. [19:51] MarkDude: you need better fb friends :) [19:52] * MarkDude got back in touch with his best friend from high school [19:52] I see it as just a communication platform [19:52] pleia2, myh friends are awesome [19:52] but egomaniacs? [19:52] I guess you do have a lot of CMs as friends ;) [19:52] Just trying to extrapolate, what others see as so horrible about FB [19:52] they tend to be very Out There [19:52] rofl [19:52] yah, i met up with most of my HS friends too. most of them have become bigger idiots than they already were [19:52] Thats funny because it is true [19:52] iheartubuntu: lol [19:53] iheartubuntu, I agree. [19:53] But sorting through 100+ people is worth it for TRUE friends [19:53] and YES, if there was no FB, we would have got in touch other ways [19:54] pleia2, not as much my friends, but friends of friends [19:54] actually i think most of the people i got back in touch with were from grammar school [19:54] 8 years with them all [19:54] #1 thing I use FB for? [19:54] organizing events, picnics in REAL life [19:55] I mostly use it to stay in touch with family, they fail at email and I hate phones [19:55] getting together with friends- maybe 1/2 of those prefer FB as way to do it [19:55] My Grandma like seeing pics of grandkids etc [19:55] * iheartubuntu just got his first cellphone in 5 years [19:56] i dispose them [19:56] errr, despise them [19:56] both actually [19:56] * MarkDude agrees there. [19:57] In my heart, I still resist the idea of the portable phone [19:57] It is a leash [19:58] 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 [19:59] i really enjoyed not having a phone [19:59] And when folks were living in caves, there had to a few of them scared about fire [19:59] iheartubuntu, me too [20:00] When I did was on jobsites, I would not take one [20:00] my goal with the phone now is to be more productive [20:00] * iheartubuntu enjoys coin dozer and glow hockey 24/7 [20:00] well, that didnt work [20:00] I used to tell bosses - they would have to give the phone they were trying to hand me to someone else [20:00] just kidding, i dont have time for games [20:01] 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 [20:02] iheartubuntu, you always have time to stop for a game [20:02] and to smell a rose [20:02] maybe not time for games, or roses :) [20:08] * 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] I am having a hard time thinking he does not have writers in a basement coming up with this crap [20:09] I mean, I need to get work done. He needs to take a break I can get stuff done [20:31] haha markdude [20:31] * MarkDude does not delight in downfall of others [20:32] UNLESS they are horrible people [20:32] He is there. [20:33] * iheartubuntu made his companies brochure using Scribus :) looks sweet [20:33] Or this picture about uninstalling dictators http://imgur.com/gallery/HFFd1 [20:33] Scribus is a great program, very powerful [23:28] ishimeru: good morning! [23:48] does anyone here have admin rights in the forums? im requesting a name change there so all of my acct info matches up [23:56] I didn't thing that was even possible [23:57] (the forum faq say they can't except in extreme cases)
