gordespecially if your in the US as they don't put bloody corn syrup in it like they do everything else14:30
popeywhat is their obsession with corn syrup?14:31
directhexpopey, price.14:31
directhexall sugar is subsidized. in europe, we subsidize sugar beet production14:31
directhexin the us they subsidize corn farmers14:31
popeyah14:33
directhexthere are three main sources of sugar - sugar beet, sugar cane, or chemically altered alternative carbohydrates (i.e. corn)14:34
MartijnVdScane sugar++14:35
directhexthere's not much to choose between beet and cane. cane just feels more exostic, because it's grown in hot climates14:35
directhexwhereas beet does best in damp miserable grey countries14:36

popeyhttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/poll-multi-monitor-launchers-in-ubuntu-12-04/16:41
ali1234i've only seen the ML discussion where you specifically said that having launcher on all monitors is bad16:41
BigRedSPopey in having-an-opinion shocker16:42
BigRedS:)16:42
popeyah okay16:42
popeywell, for me it sucked when I had a launcher on both desktops, always out, with the barrier at the screen edge16:42
popeyhowever I can see how it might be better with hiding launchers, or no barrier, or some other magic16:43
* Laney wonders if they know about Feature and User Interface Freeze16:43
popey16:43
ali1234well the obvious fix for the barrier problem is LET US DECIDE WHICH EDGE THE LAUNCHER GOES ON16:44
popeylolchoice16:44
ali1234you know, like we've been asking for since unity was released16:45
ali1234the simple fact is if you are running a program fullscreen, you can't access the launcher on that monitor, nor the workspace switcher16:45
ali1234i wonder how the voting would go if one of the options was "make it optional and also let use decide which edge thelauncher goes on"16:47
popeyhaha16:49
ali1234"I want launcher on the left on left monitor and launcher on the right on right monitor."16:50
ali1234this is so logical and obvious that it will never happen16:51

AzelphurAnyone know if customs would charge me for this, and if so roughly how much? http://tinyurl.com/7wwwdge20:50
DJonesIf anybody uses polly for twitter etc, do you ever find it crashes and just closes every now and again20:53
ali1234Azelphur: why don't you just go to curries and buy a 32" TV?20:54
Azelphurali1234: have you seen the resolution on that thing20:54
ali1234that doesn't answer my question...20:56
Azelphurali1234: because the resolution is nowhere near high enough?20:58
Azelphurand also, 32" is tiny, even compared to my current setup?20:58
Azelphurbasically, huge downgrade?20:58
ali1234so buy 4 of them20:58
Azelphurali1234: there is no TV in curries that will outperform my current setup, let alone that one20:59
ali1234that monitor is garbage20:59
czajkowskimayeb you have an over complciated set up20:59
czajkowski:)20:59
ali1234yamakasi, really?20:59
ali1234also it only has DVI21:00
Azelphurali1234: how so? I've done some research, it's apparently using reasonably high quality samsung panels.21:00
Azelphurthere's reviews all over the place, it's generating quite a bit of buzz tbh21:00
ali1234it needs dual link dvi?21:00
Azelphuryep21:01
ali1234it even says it's an LG panel21:01
Azelphurderp, my bad21:01
Azelphurmixing LG and samsung for no apparent reason, but LG are good too obviously21:02
Azelphurali1234: http://www.overclock.net/t/1215866/reviewed-400-2560x1440-ips-no-ag-90hz-achieva-shimian-qh270-and-catleap-q270 lots of good info on here21:02
ali1234maybe because that yamakasi logo is a blatant rip off of the samsung one lol21:02
Azelphurhaha21:03
czajkowskiwe haeva  cool samsung tv here21:05
czajkowskidoes 2d->3d conversions21:05

ali1234ugh, ubuntu achievements is pulling in horrible horrible couchdb22:07
directhexthe elders of the internet declared sql to be evil. nosql all the things!22:09
MartijnVdSno that was the youngsters of the internet22:10
ali1234lol the front end is horribly broken as well22:14
ali1234it seems to be using a html component for nearly all the UI22:14
ali1234said html component still has a "reload" option on right click, which gives you a listing of / for some reason22:15
ali1234also the accomplishments don't even work22:15
ali1234maybe a problem with launchpad though22:16
ali1234i think i crashed the verification server or something22:26
