diddledanI fixed a bug: https://code.launchpad.net/~diddledan/ubuntu/utopic/debtags/fix-for-1370043/+merge/23481411:50
TwistedLucidityfoobarry: Seems pretty nasty, but what lead up to it? How are the police supposed to know who was/wasn't involved and who is/isn't armed? Is concealed-carry legal in that state?11:51
foobarryhttp://thefreethoughtproject.com/dramatic-video-shows-man-refusing-lie-police-guns-pointed/11:51
foobarrybit more info11:51
diddledanalbeit that my fix was rejected in favour of getting the same fix direct from debian11:52
TwistedLucidityfoobarry: A biased report. I am *not* saying the police were right, I don't have enough information to make a decision one way or another11:53
TwistedLuciditySeems to be a lot of police-hate doing the rounds at the moment. Not totally sure why.11:54
foobarryUS or UK?11:54
TwistedLucidityYes11:55
TwistedLucidityAlthough more USA at the moment.11:55
zmoylan-piwell if you go around shooting unarmed people people tend to not trust them11:56
TwistedLucidityzmoylan-pi: Who got shot?11:56
zmoylan-piwell police in uk are taser happy and there was that poor brazilian student a few years back11:57
TwistedLucidityBy that measure, then we should hate every group of people.11:57
foobarrysome place caleld ferguson? i don't remmeber reading much about it11:58
TwistedLucidityTragic mistakes happen. Some people are just plain nasty (police and general public). What we get to hear about mostly is the bad stuff as that sells. "Police do job" isn't going to sell papers or get clicks.11:59
foobarryi like UK police11:59
foobarrycannot offer educated opinion on the US but i don't like guns11:59
foobarryor that video11:59
TwistedLucidityfoobarry: Don't go to N.Ireland then12:00
foobarryi've been12:00
TwistedLucidityzmoylan-pi: You know if the Northern police still carry?12:00
foobarryi think it was the first week you could go in shops in belfast without getting search12:00
foobarryaroudn 15yrs ago12:00
TwistedLucidityBy and large all the cops I've dealt with have been fairly decent. The USA ones are much more...stand off-ish. To be expected, that USA imho is a nation that live in a perpetual state of fear.12:01
TwistedLucidity"...the USA....that lives in..."12:02
TwistedLucidityThe police may not be perfect, but I'd rather have them than some baying vigilante mob (like those commentors on thefreethoughtproject)12:03
foobarryi didn't read the comments12:52
zmoylan-pireading comments on the web is exposing oneself to pure distilled stupidity12:53
foobarrythe dark heart of stupid12:53
TwistedLucidityfoobarry: Thtat's a great title. Now you just need to write the boook13:02
zmoylan-pichapter 1: round them all up; put them in a field; and bomb the bunnies13:04
foobarryit was a dark and stormy night. Barry grabbed the 6-pack of beers from the passenger seat and got out of the car. Grimacing against the wind and rain, he trotted torwards the porch of the new-build semi detached house he had recently purchased on the ouskirts of Basingstoke. There were no longer any puddles on the smooth tarmac surface of his driveway, rather a mass of standing water. Fumbling his keys13:16
foobarry as he hastened to enter the warmth of his house, he dropped them in the muddy flowerbed. Muttering to himself as he crossed the threshold, kicking off his hiking style trainers that had never taken his chubby legs onto countryside, he flipped the lid on his laptop before he had taken his coat off. Water ran down his sleeve and gathered into small pools on the lid of the laptop. Impatiently he hit the13:16
foobarryF5 key. There it was, the message he had been waiting for. How he would reply in the next few moments would change his life forever.13:16
foobarrymy nephew wants a gaming headset 7.1 :S13:20
TwistedLucidityfoobarry: at such close proximity to ear, does the surround have any effect?13:21
TwistedLucidityHang on, there's a video about what it's all bollocks....13:21
TwistedLucidityfoobarry: This. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUDTlvagjJA13:22
TwistedLuciditySeems to be more about the recording if you ask me13:24
foobarrywow, bag head13:25
foobarry1:3013:25
Myrtti7.1 headset?13:28
Myrttihow is that even13:29
foobarryi don't know13:32
TwistedLucidityA 7.1 headset is a normal, over-the-ear with various small speakers contained therein. They're best used with diamond coated audio cabled. The red ones go faster13:39
TwistedLucidityAs the video proves, a decent set of standard headphone and a good recording will give the same effects. You only have two ears after all....13:40
TwistedLucidityIt's simply harder with speakers to create the "sweet spot" where the effect would work. So we go for the multi-speaker set-up.13:41
=== Guest43922 is now known as arsenip
foobarrygaming headset has mic with noise cancellation etc, plus extra snake oil13:42
TwistedLucidityCue the audiophile to tell me I'm wrong....13:42
TwistedLucidityNoise cancellation is a thing, but even lower end 'phones can ship with it these days13:44
TwistedLucidityHeck, a PC with a mic could probably feed in the anti-noise regardless of how cheap the headphones were13:45
foobarrythe worst thing about audiophiles is their terrible taste in music13:48

diddledancompletely off-the-wall question but to anyone's anecdotal knowledge has canonical or some other actor ever considered adopting seamless live kernel upgrades similar to what suse and redhat are investigating and oracle already does with unbreakable+uptrack?22:48
diddledanuptrack - that should be ksplice22:49
popeythats a lot of work22:52
diddledanyeah, as far as I can see it requires lots of engineering on every update to ensure it applies seamlessly22:52
popeyexactly22:52
diddledanit's a cool concept tho22:52
diddledanmanpower is going to be the issue I guess22:53
diddledanand brains22:53
* popey notes 358 days uptime on a canonical box, and assumes it has ksplice22:53
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
popeypretty sure they patented it too22:54
diddledanit annoyed me that oracle bought them and closed it off22:54
diddledanyou can still get the uptrack client for "desktop ubuntu" as a proof of concept22:55
diddledanor rather you could last I looked22:55
diddledanI'm gonna go looking now22:55
diddledanlooks like they're only working with LTS these days22:56
popeywise23:07
shaunoit seems less practical to have an uptime fetish on non-LTS releases, given the 9 month support cycle now23:10
