[20:31] gord: people talking to me as if i'm a bot is fun ^.^ [20:46] rww: tell mneptok about mining on nvidia [20:47] mneptok: nvidia likes points that float better than points that sink, or maybe the other way around, and bitcoin likes the one it doesn't like, so nvidia cards are crap and you should buy 10 million FPGAs and destroy the bitcoin economy instead. === Guest97579 is now known as Martinp23 === Martinp23 is now known as Guest42143 === Guest42143 is now known as Martinp23 [21:17] eh [21:17] !bash [21:17] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[22:00] looks like a coordinated attack of the trolls [22:00] Just trying to get some real work done here and can't pay full attention to IRC [22:00] IdleOne: I'd not go that far. [22:01] ok, so it's just a bunch of kids. [22:41] I'm curious as to folks' thoughts on whether or not some distributions are reasonable to expect a certain level of technical competence from their respective userbases. [22:41] Obviously Ubuntu targets everyone from the grandmothers on up the chain, but not every distro does this. [22:48] Why wouldn' t they be? [22:50] The distro should be entitled to decide who/what group their own user base will be.

Someone became exasperated with his trolling when he said "I thought computers were designed to play games" [22:59] or something of the sort [22:59] anyway, i'll leave you to it [22:59] thank you [22:59] Guest40866, do you think you can stick to the topic of Ubuntu technical support in #ubuntu? [22:59] Ljl im new to this [23:00] LjL i didint even know hot to install flash player [23:00] LjL sorry if i use the channels wrong?? [23:00] Guest40866: well that's a perfectly acceptable question to ask in #ubuntu. on the other hand, your thoughts on what computers were designed for aren't. [23:00] Guest40866: from scrollback it looks like it was actually a very rude "shut up" not exactly the one you said (but still not ok) [23:01] i apologize [23:01] can you guys teach me hoe to use linux?
