JonathanDThat there may be16:55
passstabhi n2diy16:59
passstabis funny this kinda thing is taken for granted on bigger channels16:59
JonathanDpassstab: taken for granted in what way?17:03
JonathanDMost large channels will banforward :)17:03
passstabnever discussed17:03
passstabpeople are always comming and going17:03
n2diyhi passstab, and JonathanD17:04
JonathanDn2diy: are you unbroken? :)17:04
passstabhe talks!!17:04
adomIT'S ALIVE!17:05
n2diyno, are you the one the ratted on me? :)17:05
n2diyI'm trying to get xchat-gnome to auto login with my freenode pw, but it isn't working. I had to keep unplugging my cat5 cable, because xchat-gnome was crashing when the auto connect failed.17:06
JonathanDn2diy: I'm not :)17:07
JonathanDI didn't, I mean.17:07
JonathanDratted you out to who? :)17:07
passstabxchat is crap17:07
* passstab is useing it and should shut up17:08
n2diyJonathanD, I was getting auto connected to #fix_your_connection, some channel was complaining about my connects and disconnects, but it wouldn't tell me which one!?17:08
JonathanDn2diy: that happens. See which channel you cna't join :)17:09
JonathanDif you have auto-join, the failed one should show up in your status window17:09
n2diyThe only reason I'm using it is it is the one I'm familiar with, tried xchat, and didn't care for it.17:09
passstabis xchat diffrent from xchat gnome?17:10
n2diypassstab, actually, its xchat IRC that came pre-installed with Xubuntu, and I loaded xchat-gnome.17:12
n2diyyes17:12
passstabXubuntu!!?!?!?17:12
passstabWHY????17:12
n2diypassstab, because years ago I was trying to shoe horn linux into a box with 128m of ram, with a 4g hard drive.17:14
passstabXubuntu is slower then gnome 217:14

PennBotTitle: Lubuntu: Floats Like a Butterfly, Stings Like a Bee | Linux Magazine (at www.linux-mag.com)17:15
n2diypassstab, yes, I recently read there is no performance difference anymore, didn't know it was slower now.17:15
passstabif you start with a base install17:16
n2diyI'm thinking of changing, 11.10 is a disaster IMO.17:16
passstaband and get xfce4/xfce4goodies17:16
passstabTHEN you will have a faster system17:17
passstabxubuntu is a lousy implementation17:17
n2diypassstab, I'll have to dust off the test box and give it a try.17:18
passstabi'm using debian testing personally17:18
n2diyI have no complaints with Xubuntu, and I have a couple of boxes in the wild that are doing ok. But one is really munged up, I think the user tried an upgrade. He thinks he knows alot about computers, but all he's ever done is install Windows.17:19
passstablol that sux17:20
n2diypassstab, yep, his box was working fine for a year, and now its afu, can't figure out what is going on over the phone, so I need to get in front of the box. That was supposed to happen this morning, but he never called.17:21
passstabALWAYS have two computers ready17:22
passstab:)17:22
n2diypassstab, I do! But he doesn't. He threw one away a while back, could have strangled him. (we're still friends)17:23
passstablol i wouldn't ask what text editor HE uses17:24
n2diyI haven't bought any new hardware or software since 2000.17:24
passstabRPI?17:24
passstabi'm pritty good in that respect17:25
n2diypassstab, no, you wouldn't want to ask him that, because I don't think he could tell you!17:25
passstabbut i need a RPI :D17:25
n2diypassstab, what's RPI?17:25

passstabhi PennBot17:26
MobileTurkeypassstab: I say all ubuntu implementations are lousey17:26
* passstab dosn't say hi to MobileTurkey 17:26
* passstab is rude17:26
MobileTurkeyactually sorry, all "catch-all" implementations are less effecient17:27
passstab??17:27
passstabwhat is catch-all?17:27
MobileTurkeybasically Xubuntu works for _everyone_ therefore more crap is loaded than your customized, very specific base install and addition of a few utilities _you_ need.17:27
MobileTurkeyone size fits all17:27
passstabright17:27
MobileTurkeyxubuntu is designed to "just work" for everything, so they throw a lot of stuff that any user in any circumstance may need.17:28
passstabit IS what some people are looking for17:28
MobileTurkeywhich is good in some sense, when you are looking for speed it is not.17:28
MobileTurkeyright17:28
jedijfwow, finally17:28
MobileTurkeyjedijf: what?17:28
jedijfyou get it17:28
MobileTurkey:P17:28
jedijfdon't always shoot it down, just do for yourself your way17:28
passstab:P17:29
MobileTurkeythat's why we use funroll loops with -O7 with our overclocked gentoo boxes...17:29
passstabbut i think ubuntu isn't the way to go17:29
jedijfthat's why i am always typing, for those that it is /appropriate/ for, alternate install cli only and guild up <-- still minority17:29
MobileTurkeyit's the way to go for some people.17:29
jedijf*build17:29
n2diyHe, I did three laptop installs with Xubuntu, with the "customers" looking over my shoulder, and it just worked, I was amazed. Those boxes are still running, and the users love them.17:29
n2diyHey17:29
MobileTurkeypassstab: certain users do like it.17:29
MobileTurkeyn2diy: never do installs in front of users...17:29

MobileTurkeyn2diy: heh17:33
MobileTurkeypassstab: yes the website doesnt mention it's linux17:33
MobileTurkeyI was talking to some noob running unity he was like " ilove ubuntu omg." i was like yeah linux is great... "OH MY GOD UBUNTU IS WAY BETTER LINUX SUCKS BALH BALAAHAHALH"...17:33
MobileTurkeysigh...17:33
MobileTurkeyI don't remember the exact words but i just wanted to crawl in a hole17:34
passstabwow17:34
passstabubuntu is better then linux :(17:34
n2diyThis doesn't surprise me. Vendor lock anyone?17:36

passstab     '17:38
n2diyOf course, something that is too good won't last. Now that I have a small herd of boxes in the wild, Ubuntu is doing this crap, and making disaster like 11.10. I'm waiting to look at 12.04, and I'm looking back at Debian again.17:39
passstabdeb deb debian !!!17:40
MobileTurkeythough isn't 12.04 supposedly a 5 year release?17:40
jedijfif crap is desktop environment, blame yourself....it's easy to switch17:40
MobileTurkeylts?17:40
MobileTurkeyyeah use tde...17:40
MobileTurkey:p17:40
jedijfand after 12.04 hits and all the unity love follows, what will everyone bash?17:41
jedijfthe love is already starting with the beta17:42
n2diyjedijf, yes, and I did do the switch to gnome-classic, but I didn't want do go through that over the phone with the users I'm supporting.17:42
passstabcontributer agreements17:42
jedijfhmm, and actually the xubu logo bashing has begun so .....17:42
passstab??17:42
passstabxubu logo?17:42
jedijfnew xubuntu logo mouse thingy17:43
n2diyI hope 12.04 is an LTS, at least that way I won't mind doing a bunch of hand holding with my users, but I'm not doing it every six months.17:43
jedijfn2diy: it is17:43
n2diyHas anybody seen it yet?17:44
jedijfn2diy: you can, and do system testing!17:44
passstabjedijf, you don't think there are legitimate reasons to hate ubu?17:44
n2diyjedijf, I know, but little stuff, like trying to earn a living gets in the way.17:45
jedijfpassstab: no that's stupid, why hate..it it affects you that much switch distros or lfs17:45
MobileTurkeyI mean I don't have to use something to hate it...17:45
passstabi did17:45
jedijfn2diy: cliff notes, the early reviews are all favorable17:45
MobileTurkey"favorable"17:46
passstaband i'm not talking about "it's not for me"17:46
jedijfwubi not included17:46
MobileTurkeythats what they said about enron.17:46
jedijflol17:46
n2diyBesides, I can screw things up here just fine, I don't need to be playing with +1 stuff.17:48
jedijfi face much hippocracy doing this advocacy stuff. bash ubuntu is stylish these days - love mint (based on ubuntu) you're cool, use backtrack (built on ubu) you're l33t, but don't know what nmap is - please people *give me a break*17:48
jedijfmark, you owe me $517:48
jedijfpleia2: ^^ make sure he sees that17:48
MobileTurkeyjedijf: thats why we all use arch....17:49
passstabpeople like mint cause it has a classic desktop17:49
MobileTurkey"classic"17:49
jedijfi use different stuff because I like to learn17:49
MobileTurkeywhat's that?17:49
n2diyjedijf, I've been advocating (X)Ubuntu since 5.10, and I love it, but 11.10 and Unity are a disaster.17:49
jedijfclassic is tty young boy17:49
passstab...17:49

passstabyip17:51
n2diycool17:51
passstabthe pi is named for py17:52
jedijfn2diy: when is the 8's and 9's unity was branded UNR, everyone thought it was 'neat'. change is just difficult, timing is well, just has to be done, 12.04 /should/ be more accepted. It's looking that way. Gnome Foundation has some blame in this, but Unity has provided them with a shield.17:52
passstabnot everyone thought it was neet17:52
jedijfand it's presented opportunities for TDE, Mate, Cinnamon (sic)17:53
n2diyjedijf, whats UNR ?17:53
jedijfUbuntu netbook Remix17:53
passstabi herd ubu folks saying unity WON'T be like unr17:54
n2diyok. And that's what threw me, I've never used a portable device, so I wasn't familiar with the interface.17:54

jedijfwhy not?17:56
n2diyjedijf, freenode doesn't think I'm n2diy, and tells me I need to msg nickserv with my pw, and I'm trying to configure xchat-gnome to do it automagically.17:57
jedijfn2diy: you're welcome to join *both*17:57
n2diy?17:57
jedijfyou said you were here because you weren't there17:58
n2diyyes, #gramps won't let me post until I register with my pw.17:58
jedijfn2diy: iirc its in the network (freenode) setting part17:59
jedijfbeen awhile since i used it though18:00
n2diyjedijf, yes I think your right. I just tried joining #ubuntu, and I was ignored.18:00
n2diyjust looked on #freenode, and I'm banned from #ubuntu. See, I don't need +1 to get into trouble.18:02
passstabis cause you are supposed to join #debian :D18:03
n2diypassstab, I was on #linux, but I'm not now, wonder if I've been banned there too?18:04
passstabweird18:04
n2diynope, I'm on #linux now. (I just registered my pw with freenode.)18:05
passstabdo know why you might have been?18:05
passstabmaybe the dis/re connecting18:06
n2diypassstab, yes, I was trying to configure xchat-gnome to auto login for me, and it kept crashing while trying. I had to keep disconnecting and reconnecting my LAN cable to change things in prefrences.18:06
passstabi know18:07
passstabbut that might have got you banned?18:07
n2diypassstab, that's my guess, found the rat.18:07
passstabdo you need someone else to get you unbanned?18:08

MobileTurkeykonversation++18:18
n2diyalso tried using the auto connect check box, and that's what was causing xchat-gnome to crash, I think.18:19
n2diyWhat I'm supicious of is I'm connecting to the "ubuntu servers" and not to freenode?18:19
n2diyThose links are for xchat, not xchat-gnome.18:21

MobileTurkeyrather good explaination18:51
MobileTurkeyI love ibm's docs18:52
SadinMobileTurkey IBM has good docs18:52
Sadinbut some of their writers are ignorant as fuck.18:52
SadinOne of them wrote and Article about NodeJS accusing it of being bad for all these reason when in fact it was better then other frameworks for those reasons when Node Devs and JoyentCloud asked them to take it down do to falsified info they refused18:53
MobileTurkey it sucks still though...18:55
SadinNo18:55
SadinIf you can tell me what its for then maybe18:55
MobileTurkeydid yo even read that article i sent you?18:55
SadinYes18:55
SadinI skimmed it i have other stuff atm18:55
MobileTurkeytell me what's what for?18:55
SadinYou Said NodeJS sucks18:55
SadinWhen 90% of the people that are using it are using it wrongly18:56
MobileTurkeynodejs? it's _designed_ to be able to write internet based applications and pages18:56
Sadinno18:56
MobileTurkeyno?18:56
MobileTurkeyno what is it for then?18:56
SadinIts not Aimed directly at that people USE it for that18:56
SadinNodeJS is a alternative to AJAX18:57
SadinPHP applications that use AJAX have to stop the PHP script18:57
MobileTurkeywho said ajax is good?18:57
Sadinits not...18:57
MobileTurkeywho said php is good?18:57
SadinNodeJS does what it does correctly18:57
MobileTurkeynode js is full of fail18:57
Sadinand PHP is too apparently18:58
MobileTurkeyphp sucks for other reasons18:58
MobileTurkeyweak typing and crappy code incompatible releases poor performance thats another day18:58
MobileTurkey90% of people aren't using Javascript for what it was designed for...18:58
MobileTurkeyapparently NodeJS isn't either.18:58
SadinCorrect18:58
Sadinso when people say its fail they dont see what it supposed to be used for18:59
Sadinthat would make it good18:59
MobileTurkeyand the fact the NodeJs runs it's own webserver is not a good thing.18:59
Sadin*sigh* your right its not18:59
MobileTurkeyanyway.18:59
MobileTurkeyI hate the web.19:00
MobileTurkeyI can't wait till html and javascript go out the window by some brand new fancy technology19:00
SadinNodeJS is able to handle requests outside the main apps language keeping the application running on its own tasks without having to stop the script and tel it to do something else19:00
SadinMobileTurkey why whats bad about them?19:01
MobileTurkeyaka asynchronous19:01
SadinYES19:01
MobileTurkeyinefficient... slow bloated. xml based (html at least)19:01
Sadinbut asshoels are out there using it for FULL web applications and building MVC frameworks19:01
Sadinand its tarnishing it19:01
MobileTurkeyweb pages were not designed to serve full applications19:01
SadinMobileTurkey i know HTML was designed to organize scientific data19:02
MobileTurkeyand the idea of a "web based" application is why gmail sucks down 300mb?19:02

SadinWhy19:12
Sadinthey are not only web lamguages...19:12
MobileTurkeythose are scripting languages.19:12
SadinYeah your right19:12
MobileTurkeydynamically interpreted langugaes.19:12
MobileTurkeyso they have crappier performance19:12
MobileTurkeyI guess you could argue that they aren't really scripting languages19:13
MobileTurkeyi just feel like dynamically interpreted things are a massive waste of time...19:13
SadinId say midway.19:13
MobileTurkeythey _can_ work as scripting languages19:14
Sadinmhm19:14
MobileTurkeygo C.19:14
