| thafreak | I tell you what...setting up a mailserver isn't easy | 15:36 |
| paultag | mmm | 15:36 |
| thafreak | well, it can be...but if you want to research all the best practices...geez | 15:36 |
| thafreak | i should say, tuning a mailserver to prevent as much spam as possible...isn't easy | 15:37 |
| thafreak | what you been up to taggy | 15:37 |
| thafreak | hows the sunshine treating you? | 15:37 |
| paultag | thafreak: dude | 15:40 |

| thafreak | wait, they're all dirty...you exposing any politicians? | 15:42 |
| paultag | dzho: sunlight foundation | 15:43 |
| paultag | thafreak: YEAH! | 15:43 |
| paultag | thafreak: dude I have so much data now | 15:43 |
| paultag | thafreak: I fear the next person to get into a political scuffle with m | 15:43 |
| paultag | e | 15:43 |
| dzho | paultag: you damn dirty komyoonist | 15:44 |
| dzho | oh, wait . . . | 15:44 |
| paultag | :) | 15:45 |
| thafreak | you know which politicians took money from which lobying groups? | 15:46 |
| thafreak | Currently, I just assume they all do... | 15:46 |
| paultag | Did you know: Goldman-Sachs gave exactly 290,750 to Mit | 15:46 |
| paultag | erm, Mitt | 15:46 |
| thafreak | dbags | 15:46 |
| paultag | Sachs gives about 70/30 to Republicans/Dems | 15:46 |
| paultag | they also gave $44,750 to Obama | 15:47 |
| thafreak | none to libertarians? | 15:47 |
| paultag | thafreak: no, but they did give 375,700 to the RNC | 15:47 |
| thafreak | Good, I'm voting libertarian then | 15:47 |
| paultag | actually that was just the Senate | 15:47 |
| thafreak | let me know who contributes to them | 15:47 |
| paultag | 55,250 to the RNC on the whole | 15:47 |
| thafreak | in case I have to avoid them too | 15:47 |
| paultag | thafreak: oh sure | 15:48 |
| thafreak | I'm currently voting against anyone who is currently in office | 15:48 |
| paultag | thafreak: http://influenceexplorer.com/ | 15:48 |
| thafreak | and also against anyone who runs a negative ad | 15:49 |
| paultag | there's also the more crepy https://checking.influenceexplorer.com/ | 15:49 |
| thafreak | and also against anyone taking bribes | 15:49 |
| paultag | which will look at your checkbook and see who you're giving money to, and who they give money to | 15:49 |
| thafreak | aka "campaign contributions" | 15:49 |
| paultag | so you can see how much of your money goes to $FOO | 15:49 |
| thafreak | I don't give money to political anything...closest I ever came was when I gave money to FSF | 15:50 |
| paultag | thafreak: no, I mean | 15:50 |
| thafreak | oh my tax dollars? | 15:50 |
| paultag | thafreak: if you get some booze from $FOO and pay for Coors' Light, the Coors' company donates to the RNC hugely | 15:50 |
| thafreak | 90% of my tax dollars are going somewhere I don't want anyway | 15:50 |
| paultag | thafreak: so you can run your checkbook through this and see where your money is going | 15:50 |
| paultag | nah, not tax | 15:50 |
| thafreak | shit...never thought of that | 15:51 |
| thafreak | fuckers | 15:51 |
| paultag | yeah I know :) | 15:51 |
| thafreak | fuck coors | 15:51 |
| thafreak | wonder who great lakes brewing company donates to | 15:51 |
| paultag | thafreak: they're not showing up | 15:53 |
| paultag | but here's coors' brewing co - http://influenceexplorer.com/organization/coors-brewing/a1a9fa5ee3fd40c89b1c6f8fcb93a50b | 15:53 |
| thafreak | can i just do queries with out having to let it scrape my checking account info? | 15:53 |
| jrgifford | paultag: i forgot about your new job... | 15:53 |
| paultag | 1.5 million | 15:53 |
| paultag | to R | 15:53 |
| paultag | jrgifford: :D | 15:53 |
| jrgifford | this could be fun. :P | 15:53 |
| jrgifford | paultag: is this influenceexplorer FOSS? | 15:54 |
| paultag | yep | 15:54 |
| paultag | jrgifford: on github | 15:54 |
| jrgifford | paultag: ok. | 15:54 |
| paultag | as well as the data | 15:54 |
| thafreak | wow...dreamworks is on the top of the list of donors | 15:54 |
| paultag | thafreak: yeah, they give to D pretty hugely | 15:54 |
| thafreak | fucking media companies... | 15:55 |
| thafreak | yeah 99% | 15:55 |
| paultag | jrgifford: https://github.com/sunlightlabs/brisket | 15:55 |
| paultag | thafreak: sunlight has identified the co. version of the 0.1%, but it's more accurate as the .01% | 15:55 |
| thafreak | so now I know I can't trust the dems either for sure...thought MAYBE they gave a shit about individual rights over media conglomerates | 15:55 |
| jrgifford | good stuff, thanks. | 15:55 |
| paultag | thafreak: right | 15:56 |
| paultag | jrgifford: the org is https://github.com/sunlightlabs | 15:56 |
| paultag | all stuff is f/oss as a matter of course | 15:56 |
| thafreak | i'm voting for int0x80 | 15:56 |
| jrgifford | paultag: https://github.com/sunlightlabs/alarms - google alerts, but it only searches for politicians? | 15:56 |
| paultag | jrgifford: that's ultra alpha | 15:57 |
| jrgifford | ok. | 15:57 |
| paultag | I don't think it's totally baked | 15:57 |
| thafreak | wow, comcast gave 70% to the dems... | 15:57 |
| jrgifford | paultag: you guys use mongo a lot then? | 15:58 |
| thafreak | why the fuck do we only have 2 political parties? | 15:58 |
| jrgifford | thafreak: because we can't get the others ones off the ground..? | 15:58 |
| thafreak | "you can either choose a punch in the neck, or a kick to the nuts"... | 15:58 |
| thafreak | either way, you'll probably pass out...then both parties will gang fuck you | 15:59 |
| jrgifford | we have the constitutional party, and the libertarians, not to mention the socialists and the neo nazis. we just can't get anyone to do anything other than R or D. | 15:59 |
| paultag | whohwhoh | 15:59 |
| thafreak | Oh I know...I vote libertarian usually...and everyone says I throw my vote away | 15:59 |
| paultag | I want a good CPUSA canidate | 16:00 |
| paultag | and I want him or her to be a Marxist. | 16:00 |
| thafreak | atleast I'm not voting for the people raping this country... | 16:00 |
| jrgifford | lol. :P | 16:00 |
| thafreak | I think if we got rid of political campaigns all together, the country would be in alot better shape | 16:01 |
| thafreak | you want to be president...fine | 16:01 |
| thafreak | I'd rather have lots of pre-elections where we start with 1million candidates and whittle it down to 10 for the final elections, than have to watch stupid fucking commercials | 16:02 |
| jrgifford | thafreak: are you advocating a return to the pre-james garfield days, where the candidates would stay at home, practicing law/their profession? | 16:02 |
| thafreak | i mean the current system, they start 1-2 years ahead of time anyway, | 16:02 |
| thafreak | no, I'm advocating banning campaign ads | 16:03 |
| thafreak | everyone gets an equal opportunity to run for election | 16:03 |
| thafreak | even homeless bums should have the same chance as a fucking kennedy | 16:03 |
| jrgifford | i love that idea. | 16:04 |
| thafreak | anyone who wants to run, fills out a form | 16:04 |
| thafreak | then we just need a process for the people to choose which of the millions who want the office to pick from | 16:04 |
| thafreak | no one is allowed to run ads on tv or in the paper | 16:04 |
| thafreak | hell, we're all digital now... | 16:05 |
| thafreak | we should just build a database of all the people who want to run, and collect stats about them, and how they would vote on stuff | 16:05 |
| thafreak | then people can search the db for all the candidates they're insterested in that meet their criteria | 16:06 |
| thafreak | like match.com for potential politicians and their constituents | 16:06 |
| thafreak | get rid of the electoral college too, and have it come down to 100% the people's voice | 16:07 |
| thafreak | force people to do homework about who they're actually voting for and not just go by whatever negative thing they saw on tv | 16:07 |
| thafreak | Sorry, I'm done ranting...didn't mean to take over the ubuntu ohio channel with non ubuntu talk :) | 16:10 |
| paultag | I think corporations should be people | 16:13 |
| thafreak | So anyone looking for a Linux admin job in the akron area? | 17:29 |
| thafreak | I keep getting hounded by recruiters for this job...and now a non-profit (jumpstart) who helps startups, is also looking to fill this same position | 17:30 |
| thafreak | I think they're desparate and will probably pay well | 17:30 |
| thafreak | they are looking for some one with LPIC, so that shows they atleast know what to ask for in an admin | 17:30 |
| Cheri703 | so I need a picture of a smallish explosion (like from a pipe bomb)...doing a google image search of "pipe bomb explosion" gets a LOT of mug shot photos... | 19:17 |
| Cheri703 | also probably gets me on a watch list somewhere | 19:18 |
| jrgifford | thafreak: oh my jumpstart. been months since i heard that... | 19:41 |
| jrgifford | Cheri703: lol? | 19:41 |
| Cheri703 | I just found it interesting | 19:41 |
| Cheri703 | I was making a sympathy card for someone... | 19:42 |
| Cheri703 | with a picture of an explosion on it | 19:43 |
| jrgifford | that sounds... appropriate. | 19:43 |
| Cheri703 | it says "What does your sad news have in common with a pipe bomb?" on the front, and inside it says "It really blows!" (the guy will appreciate the sentiment, he's not so much a mushy whatever person) | 19:43 |
| jrgifford | lol. | 19:44 |
| Cheri703 | it has a pic of a pipe bomb on the front and an explosion inside | 19:44 |
| Unit193 | Ahaha! Nice one! | 19:45 |
| Cheri703 | anyway, now I have to get ready for work. have a good day guys :) | 19:46 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: Make your own pipe bomb, blow it up, take pictures. :D | 20:30 |
| Unit193 | I like that idea, but I may want to get invited to watch, not go to prison :P | 20:32 |
