[11:52] <waltman> morning
[12:12] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else
[15:58] <InHisName> Noon - ing
[18:39] <ChinnoDog> I hate Win8
[18:39] <ChinnoDog> I should become a KDE for Windows developer
[18:52] <jthan> I hate win8 too!
[19:07] <ChinnoDog> imho this whole trend towards tablet compatible desktops for both Windows and Ubuntu is short sighted.
[19:28] <wyattderp> I have moved onto #! -- Its a nice inbetween to Arch and Ubuntu I feel. Hackable but -MOSTLY- Stable.
[19:31] <InHisName> I'm in software center.  What to search for in installed part to remove to free up space on /boot   ..  Tried vmlinuz but see nothing so far.
[19:35] <InHisName> I also tried search terms:  ubuntu, linux, headers    but none found anything useful to uninstall.
[20:01] <ChinnoDog> What is the proper name for the rubber nubs that go over a pointing stick?
[20:03] <ChinnoDog> Maybe they are just "nubs"
[20:03] <jthan> I think it's just rubber.
[20:04] <jthan> Why do you call it a nub? It's able bodied.
[20:07] <ChinnoDog> idk what else to call them. I want a new one
[20:07] <ChinnoDog> I can't find the part though :-(
[20:07] <jthan> Lol. Why do you have a pointing stick?
[20:08] <jthan> ChinnoDog: I'm recording a part of this lecture for you.
[20:09] <jthan> It's about rubber nubs
[20:09] <jthan> ChinnoDog: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick
[20:09] <ChinnoDog> I have a touchpad too but there isn't a sensitivity control on it so I'm going to use the pointing stick
[20:09] <ChinnoDog> It has a dumb concave shape that makes it difficult to use though
[20:09] <jthan> That kind of pointing stick?
[20:10] <ChinnoDog> I found a replacement nub now but it is the same one I already have
[20:11] <jthan> Stop it with that nub stuff
[20:11] <jthan> You're offending it.
[20:12] <ChinnoDog> My nub needs a new rubber cover
[20:13] <teddy-dbear> tmi
[20:13] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: thinkpad?
[20:14] <jthan> I want to learn to use LaTeX
[20:14] <ChinnoDog> JonathanD: No. Dell. They aren't compatible. :-(
[20:14] <jthan> Do people still do that ?
[20:14] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: I probably have a couple dell ones.
[20:15] <JonathanD> I'll look.
[20:18] <ChinnoDog> I can't confirm the existence of any alternately shaped nubs for this laptop.
[20:18] <ChinnoDog> Dell--
[20:18] <ChinnoDog> I miss my Thinkpad :-(
[20:18] <jthan> You could custom create a nub
[20:18] <ChinnoDog> I could. There is probably a small but loyal market for those.
[20:19] <jthan> Do it
[20:22] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: well you said yours are concave?
[20:22] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: the older dells were not.
[20:22] <jthan> My mom has a Dell laptop that has one that is convex. But it's hard as a rock.
[20:23] <ChinnoDog> JonathanD: Apparently not all Dells use the same pointing sticks. They aren't compatible between models.
[20:27] <JonathanD> lame.
