| pleia2 | oh that's just sad | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| akk | Wow, Toastmasters' website now requires silverlight. The depth of their cluelessness staggers me. | 02:38 |
| jledbetter | oh gracious | 03:11 |
| bkerensa | akk: should lobby then to not use it | 03:13 |
| bkerensa | :D | 03:13 |
| bkerensa | Mozilla has a lobby group of volunteers who contact websites and tell them they need to do this and that to make firefox work good | 03:13 |
| bkerensa | :D | 03:13 |
| akk | There are people (mostly Apple users, and me now) griping on the linkedin group, but I don't think HQ listens to much. | 03:14 |
| akk | Oh, cool, maybe I should file a mozilla bug to get them on it. They used to have a keyword for that, | 03:14 |
| akk | like 10 years ago when it was actually common to see sites that only worked in IE | 03:14 |
| akk | but I can't remember the keyword. | 03:14 |
| bkerensa | I need to find out what that group is | 03:14 |
| bkerensa | its really active surprisingly and has a lot of volunteers who reach out and do it | 03:15 |
| akk | If you find out, bkerensa, let me know and I'll email them or file a bug or whatever the appropriate thing is. | 03:15 |
| bkerensa | kk | 03:15 |
| akk | TM are kind of MS whores anyway -- their only recent manual revisions were mostly to add "using Microsoft powerpoint" into several projects that said "using visual aids" in earlier versions. | 03:16 |
| akk | Despite lots of people having already complained to them that PPT isn't the only presentation tool around. | 03:16 |
| akk | Yay, another Linux/Firefox user on the thread -- how there are as many of us as Apple people, mwahaha. | 03:34 |
| atto | Hi. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and I downloaded the ISO for 12.04. I tried burning it with Brasero at 8x and just as it finished, it ejected and then an error popped up. Should I burn the ISO again at a higher speed, or... ? | 04:40 |
| atto | (I tried to boot up my laptop using the burned CD but it wouldn't work) | 04:41 |
| toddc | safe bet it is bad download did you check the md5? | 04:50 |
| toddc | always burn at lowest speed you can | 04:51 |
| atto | Yes, the MD5 is the same, and I burned at the lowest speed. | 04:51 |
| atto | I'm going to try burning the ISO onto a DVD-R because my laptop has always been finicky when it came to CD-R's. | 04:52 |
| toddc | what was the error--ok | 04:52 |
| atto | I can't remember but I'll try with a DVD instead, goodnight. | 04:53 |

| bkerensa | pleia2: when Canonical ships to you do they have DHL e-mail your mailing list? | 20:25 |
| bkerensa | DHL keeps sending notifications of a shipment to our mailing list | 20:25 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: nope | 20:26 |
| bkerensa | huh | 20:26 |
| erichammond | unexpected email shipping notifications are often spam/phishing | 20:55 |
| akk | I get phishes like that every day or two. | 20:55 |
| bkerensa | huh? | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | ok | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | but I looked at the e-mail and all the links and content were legit | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | and it didnt have attachments and the source looked clean | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 20:56 |
| akk | If I'm expecting a package, I look for the tracking number, then type it into google. | 20:58 |
| akk | Otherwise I go to the site that sold it and click on the tracking link from there. | 20:58 |
| akk | *paste it into google, not actually type it | 20:58 |
| erichammond | bkerensa: I usually find a single URL in the email that has bogus host. | 20:59 |
| pleia2 | oh right, I didn't make the connection, all the ubuntu lists I admin are being spammed by fake DHL spam | 20:59 |
| pleia2 | I thought you meant it actually was a real communication from Canonical shipping you something | 21:00 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: ahh ok maybe it was just coincidence I got packages from DHL when those e-mails came | 21:00 |
| bkerensa | I was wondering | 21:00 |
| bkerensa | >.< | 21:00 |
