[00:29] <thafreak> how about "intra-state man of mystery"...
[00:29] <thafreak> actually, I sometimes go to PA, so i'm actually more of an "inter-state man of mystery"
[00:29] <thafreak> "Open Sourcerer"?
[00:32] <paultag> RE turologist
[00:32] <paultag> yes
[00:32] <paultag> that
[00:33] <paultag> very much that
[00:41] <canthus13> thafreak: IT Generalist
[00:41] <paultag> one of my friends made a stamp
[00:41] <paultag> with his GPG key on it
[00:41] <canthus13> Nice.
[00:41] <paultag> which I'm going to do as well, I think
[00:42] <canthus13> Hmm.. Could you make a barcode from it?
[00:42] <paultag> good question
[00:42] <canthus13> ..and then get it tattooed?
[00:42] <canthus13> QR code, even.
[00:42] <paultag> :notbad.jpg:
[00:42] <canthus13> Of course, you're in trouble if it ever needs to be revoked.
[00:42] <paultag> mmm.
[03:36] <thafreak> qr code points to url, that spits out the current fingerprint...
[03:38] <thafreak> hmm...if I google turologist...it goes...did you mean urologisit
[03:38] <thafreak> if i say...NO...then it just brings up a bunch of links to paultag
[03:39] <thafreak> so if I put that on my business card, then I think paultag just gets a bunch of free publicity
[03:41] <thafreak> Oh and this link
[03:41] <thafreak> http://motz.antville.org/stories/1458798/
[03:41] <thafreak> I like: Applied Meta-Mathematician
[03:48] <Cheri703> so your comment about urologist reminded me: There is a back pain doctor around here who missed his true calling. He should have been a urologist. His name: Dr. Ballitch
[03:48] <Cheri703> (he has billboards all over the place)
[04:36] <canthus13> thafreak: so... you'd need to write an app that extracts the gpg key from a URL.
[14:32] <paultag> I need coding minions. Who's got ideas?
[14:33] <paultag> canthus13: gpg can do that, mostly
[14:33] <paultag> curl $URL | gpg --import
[14:34] <paultag> $ curl "http://me.pault.ag/paultag.asc" | gpg --import
[14:34] <paultag> $WORKSFORME
[14:41] <canthus13> Cool. :)
[14:41] <canthus13> coding minions?
[14:43] <paultag> yes !
[14:43] <paultag> I need coding minions
[14:43] <paultag> I have a lot of projects and need help
[14:44] <paultag> I need node.js minions, pythonic minions and gis minions
[14:56] <canthus13> heh.
[14:56] <paultag> I'm not joking
[15:01]  * canthus13 can barely write hello world. :P
[15:02] <paultag> I still need minions :)
[15:02] <Cheri703> >_<
[15:03] <Cheri703> person I know posts on fb "interesting...." and a link to "fibbing with GM Job Creation Statistics, Bill Clinton Edition" and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tempted to reply with this link: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2012/08/29/mitt-romney-tells-533-lies-in-30-weeks-steve-benen-documents-them/
[15:03] <Cheri703> but I don't want to engage >_<
[15:03] <paultag> yar
[15:07] <Cheri703> :/ this sounds like hyperbole, but I have to avoid reading certain articles or watching certain clips because they make my stomach hurt. watching/listening to/reading some of the blatant and willful and aggressive ignorance just makes me feel sick.
[15:10] <canthus13> Cheri703: Meh. They're all liars. :P  The fact checking on clinton's speech, even by the AP, was pretty rough on him.
[15:11] <Cheri703> I think it's related to my anxiety, REALITY is such an important thing, the ground we walk on, when I see people who are trying to say they're not *actually* on the ground, they're on a wall and gravity doesn't exist, it makes me uncomfortable
[15:12] <Cheri703> oh, for sure canthus13, but the post was coming from a person who practically WORSHIPS romney and yet....
[15:12] <Cheri703> OMG TEH LIES
[15:12] <Cheri703> " "
[15:13] <canthus13> The thing that bugs me is his bragging about economic policies, when under his watch they allowed banks to get involved in high-risk investments by repealing teh glass-steagall act.. which led directly to the collapse of the hosing market. :?
[15:13] <Cheri703> yeah, I only watched the obamas' speeches and the last bit of biden's. I want to watch the debates, not a pep rally
[16:30] <dzho> canthus13: I hear you about that.
[16:30] <dzho> OTOH, it's not like that was his first priority, either.
[16:31] <dzho> that was signed in 1999 after he lost majorities in Congress
[16:31] <dzho> everybody thought it was a great idea, bipartisan deal for the glorious future yadda yadda
[16:32] <dzho> sandy weill created citigroup, and they all rushed to make it legal after the fact
[16:41] <canthus13> true, but he could have vetoed it.
[16:41] <canthus13> If nothing else, that absolves him of any blame. and he was all about dodging blame.
[16:52] <dzho> yes, he could have vetoed it
[16:53] <dzho> I don't know what sort of deals were being made, or other back-scratching
[16:53] <dzho> I don't absolve him of blame for it.
[16:53] <dzho> but it sure as hell is shared blame.
[16:54] <dzho> the way it looks to me, the democrats compromise with the republicans to get stuff done, and then the republicans shift further to the right and call the democrats communists and stalinists and the cycle starts all over
[16:54] <dzho> not that I read the WSJ a lot, but I saw an editorial where the guy said that wanting to put bankers in jail was Stalinism
[16:55] <dzho> (as opposed to, you know, just persecuting people for fraud)
[16:55] <dzho> s/persecuting/prosecuting/
[16:57] <dzho> this pox-on-both-your-houses BS just encourages cynicism, and people to drop out of participating.
[16:59] <canthus13> dzho: true, but they're all a bunch of liars. I'm just planning on voting for the one who understands that printing more bills doesn't mean we have more money and isn't intent on bankrupting the entire world.
[16:59] <dzho> good luck with that
[16:59] <canthus13> ...not that I'm sure that there's a candidate that understands that. but Obama seems to be the poorer choice on that front.
[17:00] <dzho> really?
[17:01] <dzho> romney made a good deal of his money on leveraged buy-outs.
[17:01] <dzho> borrow money.  use the money to buy the company.  strip the company.  dump the company on some other chumps.  company goes bust from the debt.
[17:02] <dzho> http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/greed-and-debt-the-true-story-of-mitt-romney-and-bain-capital-20120829
[17:03] <dzho> for a little bipartisan criticism http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/ag-eric-holder-has-no-balls-20120815
[17:04] <dzho> oh, I forgot the most important bit:  the company gets saddled with the debt that was borrowed to purchase it
[17:05] <canthus13> Obama's the one who has doubled the national debt in 4 years. :/
[17:05] <dzho> oh please
[17:05] <dzho> inherited two extremely expensive wars
[17:05] <yano> not really ubuntu related but linux related: http://pastebin.com/UrnyDbfW
[17:05] <dzho> ok, time for pm
[17:05] <yano> am i missing something basic here about linux groups?
[17:05] <yano> Gary Johnson 2012!
[17:06] <yano> Ron Paul 2012!
[17:06] <yano> yano 2012!
[17:06] <yano> bleh
[17:06] <yano> anyways :-p
[17:08] <yano> weird
[17:08] <yano> apparently closing and opening a new tmux window didn't add the changes of the groups
[17:08] <yano> had to do "exec su - yano"
[18:05] <canthus13> yano: What permissions does the group have on that file?
[18:05] <canthus13> NM.
