Myrttiinnit a 'brilliant' feeling when you've slept like two hours last night and poorly the whole week, and when you get online (fortunately no need to go out of home to work) everything is just sub-par your expectations, people complaining, and you just comfortably slip into the misanthropic zone of mind. yyyyyaaaaayyyhh. I should just dig a hole and hide in there for a day.06:08
OERIASknightwise, a galaxy tab and an s4.06:12
MyrttiAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA burst water main in the village06:15

knightwiseBoth nice devices .  I have a galaxy tab pro for my main tablet and reading .. and a note 3 which i love06:15
MyrttiI'm reduced to tears.06:15
MyrttiI know mobile signal amplifiers are illegal in Finland but are they illegal in UK, too?06:42
MartijnVdSaren't they illegal everywhere?06:59
MartijnVdSI mean.. Vodafone have their "plug this into an outlet in your home and you'll have better coverage" boxes.. but those are owned (and secured) by them06:59
Myrttiwell if they sell them openly in US, one would assume they're not illegal there07:00

opalepatrickI have had a prob with ubuntu since 13.10 I think. Grub just locks so I cant select other distros, just the default, which luckily is ubuntu that I work with.10:16
opalepatrickI fix it with boot-repair, it works, then when I get any sort of update it seems, it freezes again10:17
opalepatrickI used to think it was only on header updates only, but it seems to happen regardless.10:18
awilkinsbigcalm, Have you considered something like a Synctus (or other block-syncing NAS storage system) ?10:20

ali1234i don't understand this gif http://i.imgur.com/RQLNH2X.gif22:38
ali1234specifically i don't understand why it's supposed to be funny22:39
BigRedSthat looks like a fantastically complex way of not needing to push-start the car22:43
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
ali1234yeah, i figured there's a reason they can't push start it, like the ground is too rough22:49
ali1234as for the thing getting wrapped around the wheel. just put the gear in neutral and apply the brake, then remove it22:49
ali1234so i don't understand the joke22:50
OERIASAnyone here tried Oracle Linnux22:55
