[03:37] len-dt: thats what i was thinking [03:37] might seem slower actually, instead of faster [03:38] i think folks read the term "realtime" and want a piece of it.. like its going to speed their machine up [03:43] holstein, its all a matter of what the machine is focusing on. Give it less to focus on and it will be faster... [12:29] Hi zequence. how's it going? [14:08] smartboyhw: fine. just recovered from the flu [14:08] you? [14:09] zequence, you got a flu!?!?!? Thats [14:09] bad [14:09] I'm better (for now). Got too busy with tests the past 5 days [14:09] I was never very sick, but stayed home to not make others sick [14:09] Bad thing is I can't exercise so much when I'm sick [14:09] zequence, oh OK [14:10] I usually go running or cycling almost every day [14:10] zequence, so hmm I looked at the whole pile of "You want Alpha 1 or not?" emails, and it seems Alpha 1 won't even exist!!!! [14:10] It would exist for those who want it [14:10] I think Kubuntu might be the only ones interested in that [14:11] zequence, yeah. Even Edubuntu quit (I thought Edubuntu was the only one interested:P) [14:11] * smartboyhw goes to look at the UDS pads [14:12] I painfully discover that the pad is missing:P [14:12] Not missing, but the whole UDS-R disappeared [15:08] * smartboyhw is very unhappy that Xfce still can't approve a Chinese (Hong Kong) translation team after 3 weeks, with enough people supporting this already [21:31] zequence: If it's only flu, though, you will not be making others sick any easier than when you're healthy. It's a misconception, albeit a very common one at that. [21:31] A stomach flu, though, is a whole 'nother bomb. :) [21:42] astraljava: I'm pretty sure you're infectious, especially in the early stages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza#Mechanism [21:47] zequence: Well, you can be spreading it few days before you feel you're sick, or several days after. But yeah ok, cutting a few days off of, say, ten, might still make a difference. :) [21:51] You're the most infections at the beginning. It's hard to avoid infecting people before feeling symptoms. In my case, there might have been one day when I was doing that. [21:52] After the body has started to get a hold of the virus, you may still have a runny nose, but you aren't even nearly as infectious [21:52] By Monday, I won't be [21:53] I was staying at home for two reasons really. One because of sickness. Two, I had the chance to take care of other things [21:55] In Sweden we can stay home from work up to one week at a time, without a doctors report [21:55] Yes, that's actually my main reason to stay home whenever I feel sick the slightest. :) [21:55] I know in Finland, it's a little harder :) [21:55] Here that's only three days. [21:55] Yeah. [21:56] When I worked in Finland, I had to show evidence of sickness on the first day [21:56] This was a summer job at VR [21:56] I was cleaning trains, and making beds [21:56] Ok, it might be tougher for temps. [21:56] 2003, I think it was
