directhexvanilla coke was rather meh00:05
Azelphuryea, it is rather meh00:05
directhexalso, imported vanilla coke will be hfcs00:05
Azelphurhaha00:05
Azelphurepic sweet shop opened near my house, I'm a happy camper that's where I got it from00:06
Azelphurthey have everything :D00:06
directhexfor only  600% markup!00:06
Azelphurhaha00:06
Azelphurlike 15 different types of toffe, caramel, fudge, imported coke, walls lined with everything :D00:06
Azelphurthey even had bright orange chocolate bars o.O00:06
directhexamerican chocolate tastes of vomit :(00:07
directhexintentionally. they flavour it with vomit.00:07
Azelphurnot all imported obviously00:07
Azelphurhaha00:07
Azelphurvanilla coke was £1.4900:07
directhexwell, that's a slight exaggeration.00:07
Azelphursome toffee was 50p, and a reasonably big belgian white chocolate was £300:07
Azelphurso not too bad00:08
directhexbut american chocolate is made with, or artificially flavoured to emulate, a process called the "hershey process" - you can guess which company first used it00:08
Azelphurhaha00:08
directhexthe hershey process produces butyric acid as a byproduct, which is the vile-smelling component of vomit00:08
* Azelphur shrugs00:09
directhexso other companies which follow a more conventional process just throw butyric acit into their chocolate mix, to make their chocolate taste more like vomit, since it's what consumers expect00:09
Azelphurare you trying to put me off my tasty things00:09
ali1234is that why advent calendar chocolate always tastes funny?00:09
Azelphur*shrug00:11
directhexali1234: i think those are mostly made in europe, no? europeans expect a different taste too, although theirs is for more pleasant reasons00:16
directhexali1234: basically, brits expect chocolate to taste like cadbury's, which has an excessive quantity of vegetable oil in it00:16

AlanBellasking users first, or not doing cookies?09:03
bigcalmAlanBell: presenting a modal dialog box telling the user that the site uses cookies and linking to more information as to how.09:04
bigcalmWhat's annoying is that this was thrown at me last night09:05
Knightwisewhereupon the average user says 'what the h*ll are cookies ?*09:05
bigcalmI have enough on my plate already before going on holiday09:05
AlanBellKnightwise: that is a major flaw in the whole thing, real people, who this is supposed to protect, just don't care09:06
Knightwisejust make a law that says : no third partie cookies and get it over with09:06
KnightwiseAlanBell: exactly09:06
brobostigonor understand it, properly.09:06
KnightwiseAlanBell: it would be more logical to make a law that has sites declare when they are trying to install a trojan on your system09:07
AlanBellit would be more logical to make it a browser issue09:08
KnightwiseAlanBell: correct. but hey .. that would be logical09:09
Knightwiseand legal and logical don't mix09:09
brobostigonAlanBell: isnt that kinda already there, where you can limited cookies, or tell you browser, to pickup none at all, wihtin certain parameters?09:09
AlanBellbrobostigon: it is in some browsers, bit harder on mobile ones sometimes09:09
AlanBellthe EU could have suggested to browser developers that they improve on this09:10
brobostigonAlanBell: i would agree, yes.09:10
brobostigondefinatly.09:10
ali1234there is no way to fix stupidity09:11
AlanBellthen it would actually work on facebook and google etc which are exempt anyway becuase they are not EU based websites09:11
ali1234if you try to put this in the browser you just get yet another pop up that has to be dismissed the first time yu use it and is never seen again09:12
AlanBellmaybe, or unity style notifications that pop up every time a cookie is dropped09:13
AlanBelland a way to browse and remove cookies (like some browsers have already)09:13
ali1234what's the point?09:14
ali1234that's a terrible idea :(09:14
ali1234the only way to fix it is make the browser go absolutely insane whenever a site uses a 3rd party cookie09:14
ali1234treat it the same as a XSS attack09:15
AlanBellit is a less terrible idea than getting websites to do it09:15
ali1234firefox has it all wrong09:15
KnightwiseI prefer IE 6 :)09:16
ali1234instead of displaying that scary warning on self-signed certs (which are more secure than "trusted" ones)09:16
Knightwiseat least that way you know you get ALL the mallware09:16
Knightwiseand don't miss out on anything.09:16
ali1234it should throw a fit on cross-site anything09:16
AlanBellali1234: I agree wtih that, certainly09:16
AlanBellself-signed certs are only a bad thing if you sell certificates09:16

diplovedreamer: I believe AlanBell / TheOpenSourcerer are partners to Canonical14:13
diplolibertus.co.uk14:13
TheOpenSourcererdiplo - not really.14:14
diplooh :(14:14
diplojust remember it mentioned and checked your site14:14
TheOpenSourcererWe were many moons ago but their partner programme at that time was non-existent.14:14
TheOpenSourcererSo it was pointless.14:14
vedreamerThey give give much information away at the moment either14:15
TheOpenSourcererThey have made many changes to it in the recent past so it may well be much better now.14:15
TheOpenSourcererOur services tend to focus on the business applications rather then the underlying OS so there doesn't seem to be much benefit to being a partner right now...14:16

arsenhio all - anyone able to assist? have a user attempting to login via NIS auth, gdm login seems to work, gnome appears to load to some extent but no desktop items/panels/objects load, just a movable cursor + desktop background (no right click either)14:23
arseni suspect it maybe permissions related, as a local root account works fine?14:23
diploI've never tried arsen so don't want to throw ideas at yo and break more14:24
diplo:)14:24
diploBut does sound permission related14:24
arsenwell feel free if you know anything that maybe read at login that could cause it :/ initialyl had issues with NFS not being started, or atleast NIS not doing NIS automount before fstab automount, meaning no /home for the user14:25
arsenbut now that's sorted, just doesnt seem to load stuffs. i don't know much about gnome itself.14:25
arsenstrangely, xfce works14:25
diploRead through this ?14:26
diplohttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNISHowTo14:26
diploChecked id of the user, see what it outputs ?14:27
diploBe odd that it works on Xfce and not gdm though if it was wrong14:27
arsenyeah login works with other DE's too, not just xfce14:31
arsenso its gnome and NIS related it seems14:31

TheOpenSourcererHappens to me at some random point. Just happened after most of the day working fine.15:04
