[15:36] <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
[15:37] <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?
[15:40] <paultag> thafreak: dude
[15:40] <paultag> it's amazing
[15:41] <dzho> where's this?
[15:42] <thafreak> you exposing any dirty politicians...
[15:42] <thafreak> wait, they're all dirty...you exposing any politicians?
[15:43] <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
[15:44] <dzho> paultag: you damn dirty komyoonist
[15:44] <dzho> oh, wait . . .
[15:45] <paultag> :)
[15:46] <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
[15:47] <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
[15:48] <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/
[15:49] <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
[15:50] <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
[15:51] <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
[15:53] <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
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <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.
[15:56] <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?
[15:57] <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...
[15:58] <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"...
[15:59] <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
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <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
[16:02] <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,
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <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
[16:06] <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
[16:07] <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
[16:10] <thafreak> Sorry, I'm done ranting...didn't mean to take over the ubuntu ohio channel with non ubuntu talk :)
[16:13] <paultag> I think corporations should be people
[17:29] <thafreak> So anyone looking for a Linux admin job in the akron area?
[17:30] <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
[19:17] <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...
[19:18] <Cheri703> also probably gets me on a watch list somewhere
[19:41] <jrgifford> thafreak: oh my jumpstart. been months since i heard that...
[19:41] <jrgifford> Cheri703: lol?
[19:41] <Cheri703> I just found it interesting
[19:42] <Cheri703> I was making a sympathy card for someone...
[19:43] <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)
[19:44] <jrgifford> lol.
[19:44] <Cheri703> it has a pic of a pipe bomb on the front and an explosion inside
[19:45] <Unit193> Ahaha! Nice one!
[19:46] <Cheri703> anyway, now I have to get ready for work. have a good day guys :)
[20:30] <canthus13> Cheri703: Make your own pipe bomb, blow it up, take pictures. :D
[20:32] <Unit193> I like that idea, but I may want to get invited to watch, not go to prison :P
