| sakhi | morning | 06:50 |
|---|---|---|
| Squirm | hello | 06:50 |
| inetpro | good mornings | 06:52 |
| RootChaos | ave | 07:58 |
| Kilos | hiya superfly and others | 08:18 |
| RootChaos | hi Kilos | 08:41 |
| Kilos | hi there RootChaos | 08:41 |
| RootChaos | whats happening on this fine monday ? | 08:42 |
| superfly | hi Kilos, RootChaos | 08:42 |
| Kilos | well, the sun is still shining | 08:42 |
| RootChaos | yeah, and the end of the year is in sight | 08:43 |
| RootChaos | i dont feel much like doing anything at this stage | 08:43 |
| Kilos | haha | 08:43 |
| Kilos | holiday fever has hit you | 08:44 |
| Kilos | you gotta do something | 08:44 |
| Kilos | like breathe | 08:44 |
| RootChaos | thats about all i want to do | 08:45 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:45 |
| cocooncrash | Protip: Don't try to use KDE in Oneiric. | 08:54 |
| Kilos | thats gonna break some hearts | 09:00 |
| superfly | cocooncrash: very buggy? | 09:00 |
| cocooncrash | superfly: It's an unmitigated disaster. | 09:01 |
| cocooncrash | kmail is basically unusable. | 09:01 |
| cocooncrash | The taskbar icons get smaller and smaller. | 09:01 |
| cocooncrash | Amarok just lost all my statistics. | 09:01 |
| cocooncrash | Akonadi uses lots of CPU all the time. | 09:02 |
| superfly | cocooncrash: I've moved to Thunderbird. Akonadi is a pile of rubbish, and KMail2 decided to use it | 09:02 |
| superfly | cocooncrash: yeah, same issues here | 09:02 |
| cocooncrash | Yeah, going to have to move to something else. | 09:02 |
| superfly | cocooncrash: I've mostly managed to get the taskbar to stick to the biggest size by playing with the options | 09:07 |
| superfly | And I'm looking at alternate music players to Amarok, cause it just sits at 100% CPU and does nothing | 09:08 |
| cocooncrash | Oh, and kmail even looses messages. | 09:09 |
| Kilos | bbl | 09:16 |
| superfly | Anyone know where I can get a fax machine from? | 09:29 |
| superfly | (rhetorical question) | 09:29 |
| * cocooncrash sets up Thunderbird | 09:30 | |
| cocooncrash | Lightning looks pretty nice | 10:22 |
| Kerbero | jip it is ok | 10:53 |
| * inetpro been using Thunderbird with lightning for some time | 11:45 | |
| inetpro | cocooncrash: there's still some effort needed to make it perfect but it's good enough at this stage for general use | 11:46 |
| inetpro | the nice thing about Thunderbird is that you can switch to any platform and keep using the same app | 11:54 |
| inetpro | s/platform/platform or distribution/ | 11:55 |
| superfly | Thunderbird's default are a little stupid though... why do I want my new e-mails at the bottom of the list? | 11:55 |
| inetpro | superfly: hmm... that has never bothered me because I've always copied my profile across with all it's settings for some time | 11:56 |
| superfly | inetpro: this is the first time I'm using Thunderbird in YEARS | 11:56 |
| superfly | I changed over to KMail when KDE was still 3.5 | 11:57 |
| inetpro | superfly: I do remember a few settings that need changing, so I might agree with you | 11:58 |
| Kerbero | jip, i agree with that | 11:59 |
| Kerbero | the default is not nice | 11:59 |
| Kerbero | one thing that really bothers me about thunderbird is the shortcuts | 12:00 |
| Kerbero | when thunderbird has focus and not xchat and i start to type | 12:00 |
| inetpro | BTW, I love the quicktext addon | 12:00 |
| Kerbero | everything goes heywire | 12:00 |
| Kerbero | inetpro: are you talking about that quick search thingy? | 12:01 |
| inetpro | Kerbero: no | 12:01 |
| Kerbero | o | 12:01 |
| Kerbero | addon | 12:01 |
| Kerbero | hmm | 12:01 |
| Kerbero | what does it do? | 12:01 |
| inetpro | See: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/quicktext/ | 12:02 |
| inetpro | an extension for Thunderbird that lets you create templates that can be easily inserted into your own emails | 12:02 |
| Kerbero | interesting | 12:04 |
| Kerbero | newer thought about doing it that way | 12:04 |
| Kerbero | but it can be really useful | 12:04 |
| inetpro | as an example after starting a new message and having set the To address I press Alt+1 and it will insert Hi X | 12:05 |
| inetpro | with X being the firstname of the person | 12:05 |
| Kerbero | can it change the from address too? | 12:05 |
| Kerbero | that is another thing that i actually need | 12:05 |
| inetpro | change from address? | 12:06 |
| Kerbero | i want thunderbird to reply from the address someone sent the mail to | 12:06 |
| Kerbero | and disregard the account's real address | 12:06 |
| Kerbero | yeah | 12:06 |
| Kerbero | if you have your own domain | 12:06 |
| Kerbero | and *@yourdomain is farwarded to one address | 12:06 |
| inetpro | if you setup multiple accounts Thunderbird can let you choose the from address | 12:08 |
| superfly | You don't even need to do that... just set up multiple identities | 12:11 |
| zeref | o0o0, mircosoft tried to by facebook for 15 billion | 15:24 |
| zeref | *buy | 15:26 |
| Squirm | lol | 15:29 |
| zeref | from 12.04 ubuntu LTS will be supported for 5 years :-) | 17:19 |
| superfly | Windows people... they don't like to learn. | 18:42 |
| nuvolari | they like to struggle in the "known" | 18:54 |
| nuvolari | I simply won't be able to survive in windows space | 18:54 |
| nuvolari | in terms of getting applications installed, linux package management just beats the other systems hands down | 18:56 |
| JabberwockyA19 | nevermind "don't like to learn" most Windows users I know don't like to buy. | 19:14 |
| JabberwockyA19 | I think if windows' anti-piracy worked properly there would be a lot more linux users | 19:14 |
| zeref | hmmm | 19:27 |
| zeref | just wondering what if microsoft went open source | 19:31 |
| zeref | with windows | 19:31 |
| Kerbero | lol | 19:33 |
| Kerbero | it will be scrapped for something better asap | 19:33 |
| zeref | LOL | 19:36 |
| zeref | would peeps then move back to windows | 19:37 |
| Kerbero | i doubt it | 19:37 |
| Kerbero | they will likely move away i think | 19:37 |
| Kerbero | everyone is going to hack in his own thing | 19:39 |
| Kerbero | and in the end it is going to be one big mess | 19:39 |
| Kerbero | whereas linux will then still be well maintained | 19:39 |
| Kerbero | so they will move to linux | 19:39 |
| Kerbero | for stability | 19:39 |
| zeref | yeah, plus i think peeps would no tlike to re-invent code, when solutions are there already | 19:40 |
| Kerbero | jip | 19:41 |
| Kerbero | the current linux based programs might be ported to windows | 19:41 |
| Kerbero | but still | 19:41 |
| Kerbero | everyting will just work perfectly on linux | 19:42 |
| Kerbero | and imagine all the virusses | 19:42 |
| zeref | the horror | 19:43 |
| Kerbero | if that happens there is a lot of money to be made | 19:43 |
| Kerbero | hmm | 19:44 |
| zeref | one bonous would be games | 19:44 |
| zeref | (wine) | 19:44 |
| Kerbero | yeah | 19:44 |
| Kerbero | indeed | 19:44 |
| Kerbero | they would definitely opt for the linux base system then | 19:44 |
| Kerbero | would be much more stable | 19:44 |
| Kerbero | but wine too yes | 19:45 |
| Kerbero | code stealing :D | 19:45 |
| zeref | xD | 19:46 |
| JabberwockyA19 | in light of the discussion above, it's kind of ironic that ReactOS is "borrowing" code from wine ;-) | 20:55 |
| Kerbero | hehe | 20:56 |
| Kerbero | it is indeed | 20:56 |
| Kerbero | they should just help develop wine | 20:57 |
| JabberwockyA19 | another project linux unified kernel, enough cursing for one day though | 21:01 |
| * JabberwockyA19 should go wash his tongue | 21:02 | |
| Kerbero | o0 | 21:02 |
| Kerbero | lol | 21:02 |
| Kerbero | i have only used reactos once very quickly | 21:03 |
| Kerbero | can one actually run linux applications on it? | 21:03 |
| JabberwockyA19 | LUK and ReactOS are two separate projects | 21:04 |
| Kerbero | ahh ok | 21:05 |
| Kerbero | well that is actually useful | 21:05 |
| Kerbero | unlike reactos | 21:05 |
| Kerbero | i really don't see the point of reactos | 21:06 |
| JabberwockyA19 | if reactos had better gpu support I would've used it to play old games as an alternative to dosbox | 21:09 |
| JabberwockyA19 | having wine run in kernel space should provide increased performace etc, albeit I'll be to scared to use it | 21:09 |
