rossouwapmorning - anybody here using evolution for mail and gnome-shell instead of unity?08:33
ReenenI use gmail pretty much exclusively, or the locked in outlook for work08:39
Reenen:-(08:39
ReenenI haven't got latest installed yet08:40
ReenenGetting repo from my dad sometime08:40
rossouwapok, thanks Reenen09:03
charlvn[6~09:08
charlvnaargh sorry, strange why that keeps happening to me09:08
charlvnrossouwap: not using evolution but am using gnome shell on my one laptop09:08
charlvnwhat exactly seems to be the problem?09:09
rossouwaphi charlvn, not so much a problem as much as trying to figure out if it's limited to my machines or not09:09
charlvnah, what'09:10
charlvnwhat's happening?09:10
rossouwaptotally random, when I have a mail open and want to click in the body to copy some text - highlights from a completely random location. Makes it nearly impossible to copy text out of the mail body.09:10
charlvnthat's very irritating09:10
rossouwapindeed09:10
charlvnare you running gnome-shell in 2d or 3d mode?09:11
rossouwap3d - is only evolution that has this issue09:17
rossouwaphad a similar thing with Unity and Evolution, where if Evolution was open, the alt-tab switcher refused to be on top of the windows09:18
charlvnin have had some strange behaviour in gnome 3d myself09:18
rossouwapnow that was annoying09:18
charlvni found unity to be very buggy which is why i moved to gnome 3d09:18
charlvnit's better but still buggy09:18
charlvna lot of applications seem to work fine but you get strange behaviour in some09:19
rossouwapindeed, I like the shell09:19
charlvnon this computer i am currently just running kde and it seems to be much more stable09:19
charlvnwhich is strange cause it used to be the opposite - kde 4.x used to be a disaster compared to the "classic" gnome09:20
charlvnand so the tables turn and all that09:20
charlvnfrankly i am ready to just go back to using openbox09:20
rossouwaplol09:29
rossouwapsaw something last night that looked pretty hardcore - lemme find it quick09:30

Kerberohmm09:31
Kerberoi don't like xmonad09:31
Kerberothe idea is too eccentric for me09:32

bakumanlol, nice little penguin at the keyboard: http://www.haskell.org/wikiupload/a/aa/Screen-triplehead-galois.jpg09:35
inetprosuperfly: ping09:42
superflyinetpro: pong09:43
inetproyou running quasselcore 0.8.0 yet?09:43
superflyinetpro: no, my VPS is still running 10.0409:43
inetprohmm...09:43
inetprodoes it make a difference?09:44
bakumansuperfly, who are you renting the vps from?09:44
inetproare you not running the static core?09:44
superflybakuman: Linode.com09:44
superflyinetpro: no09:44
inetproahh09:44
* inetpro wants to switch to the new static version09:44
inetproguess I shall be brave and just do it09:45
inetpronot a lot of documentation of changes09:46
* inetpro wbb09:47
bakumansuperfly, is the service good? because they are way more expensive than trustVPS09:47
inetprosuperfly: heh, it worked09:49
superflybakuman: I haven't had any problems09:50
bakumanokay09:50
superflybakuman: at least, none from them... most of the issues I have had have been self-induced ;-)09:50
bakumanlol, it happens09:51
superflythey have nice graphs and a dns manager... I'm very happy09:52
bakumancool09:53
Reenenrossouwap: sometimes when you have HTML text it can't be copied and pasted (using outlook anyway) I presume there is some tag or something in the code preventing it09:53
ReenenI've never had the issue with RTF email settings09:54
Reenenon outlook I exclusively use RTF, but lots of people like the HTML emails09:54
rossouwapReenen, it's not an HTML, RTF or text thing09:54
Reenenok09:55
rossouwapit's specific to Evolution and gnome-shell - I don't have this issue when running Unity or Thunderbird. Thanks for the suggestions though.09:55
nuvolaribakuman: my linode uptime: 395d13h10:29
nuvolariI think that's a good sign :P10:29
bakumannice10:31
inetproyikes!14:26
* inetpro was just struggling with a terribly basic networking issue14:26
inetprocould not get the laptop connected to the wired network14:27
inetproonly to find that the NIC was disabled in the BIOS14:27
superflyheh14:28
superflyit's always the silly little things14:28
inetprosuch a waste of time14:29
* inetpro getting to old for this :-)14:29
bakumanlol at python thread: lol "If you want that behavior now, just import that "from the future""14:30
bakuman"from __future__ import division"14:31
charlvninetpro: yeah but seriously, who expects that... i wouldn't either14:42
charlvnbakuman: yeah they do that to maintain backwards compatibility in python 2.x but if you use python 3 it should be the default behaviour14:44
inetprocharlvn: I thought I hit a major bug in kubuntu with the specific hardware14:44
superflycharlvn: actually, they did that to make it easier to move to Python 314:45
superflyPython 2.7 is supposed to be a step between Python 2.x and Python 3.x14:45
superflyThe reality is that Python 3 is not really ready for the prime time.14:45
charlvnsuperfly: that too14:47
charlvnsuperfly: why is python 3 not ready for the prime time?14:49

zerefhi guys14:50
superflyyo zeref14:51
inetprosuperfly: hmm...14:51
inetprowritten on Wednesday, December 7, 201114:51
zerefneed a java fundie, i keep getting missing return statment14:51
zerefhttp://pastebin.com/fmgPcJH614:51
zerefhi superfly 14:51
superflyzeref: what are you trying to do?14:52
inetprozeref: that an assignment?14:53
zerefif a certain condition is met (reading a line in a file), it must return true else false, i've added them in (return statements) but i still get the missing return error14:53
zerefinetpro: yeah Student enrollment project for varsity14:54
superflyzeref: Your logic is incorrect14:54
superflyzeref: what does "return" do, and what happens to a "return" inside a "for" loop?14:56
zerefoh :P, saw it14:57
charlvnassign the boolean to a variable, break out of the loop and return it at the bottom14:58
charlvnthere is nothing forcing the loop to execute the code at least once14:58
charlvnwe know it does, but the compiler doesn't14:58
charlvnsuperfly: extremely interesting article, still busy reading14:59
charlvnbbl15:10
superflyzeref: coming right?15:18
zerefhmmm15:25
zerefi aasigned the boolean to a variable broke out the loop, now cannot find symbol, its a problem of local variable scope15:26
zeref*cannot find variable15:26
superflyHeh.15:27
zerefjava dooes not have global varibales15:27
zeref:-(15:27
superflyzeref: you don't need global variables, they break logic.15:28
superflyzeref: you do, however, need an appropriately placed local variable15:28
superflyzeref: and this is not Java-specific. I could give you the exact same problem in C++, Python and Ruby, and the solution would be the same in all of them.15:30
zerefi see, reminds of an issue i had with python a while back :-)15:31
superflyzeref: pretend the loop doesn't exist, and I don't want the else in your if statement15:33
superflyzeref: do you follow me?15:36
zerefyep, working on it.15:37
superflyzeref: is it working yet?15:55
zereflol no, i can feel that i'm missing somethig small15:58
superflyPastebin the code15:58
superflyzeref: remember, they're not testing your Java skills, they're testing how you think15:59
zerefhttp://pastebin.com/bxVRKbun16:01
zerefi can feel i'm missing something small, myb need 5 min breka16:02
superflyzeref: what's the exact wording of the question?16:07
superflyzeref: i gotta go, my station is next.16:09
