bigcalmGood morning peeps :)10:30
davmor2bigcalm: hey dude10:32
bigcalmHiya10:34
davmor2why is chemical brothers song called hey boy hey girl when the lyrics are the other way round11:31
directhexmarketing!11:32
davmor2directhex: if that was the case they would just call it hey girl and have some half naked women on the cover in an ibiza esque stylee11:33
directhexas opposed to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/66/HeyBoyHeyGirl.jpg ?11:34
davmor2directhex: so not marketing11:34
Laneywrite to your MP asking for an urgent question to be tabled in the house11:36
popey:)11:36
davmor2Laney: good plan might stop them screwing up the country11:37
directhexcan someone give me a convincing answer to "why are there tractors in Pixar's Cars"?11:37
popeywhat else would the farmer have?11:37
Laneythey could make songs with misleading or incorrect titles illegal11:37
popeyThe farmer being the combine I guess.11:38
directhexpopey: no, see, there are cows in real life because meat and milk. cars replaces cows with tractors. so why are there tractors?11:38
davmor2directhex: because tractors rock and don't you forget it, there are also lorries, planes and helicopters, pickup trucks etc11:38
popeytractors pull farm machinery11:39
directhexnot in Cars!11:39
popeythey dont get seen doing that11:39
popeybut that doesn't mean they don't11:39
directhexwhy is there even a farm?11:40
popeythey plow11:40
popeyor plough11:40
popeyhttp://pixar.wikia.com/wiki/Tractors11:40
popeythat quotes the blueray disney disc where they say that11:40
popey"They enjoy what they do, plowing through the fields on a nice warm day, and then falling asleep under the moonlight"11:40
directhexwhy do they plough?!11:41
popeyWho else would plough?11:41
directhexit's clearly hay they're growing on that farm. why do they have hay?11:41
popeyNo other vehicle is built for it, Tractors are11:41
davmor2directhex: that can be the next question for the mps to debate over send it in ;)11:42
awilkinsIn "Planes" the Indian machine society venerates tractors like Indian Hindu's  venerate cows11:50
awilkinsAt the beginning I went "WTF, the hero is a crop-duster, why do machines grow crops?"11:51
awilkinsBut they correctly went with the "vegetable sources of fuel" argument on that one11:51
popeydirecthex: they need the hay for this guys hat http://imgur.com/o5yzNDY11:51
directhexthat's straw not hay!11:51

davmor2man you guys really need to get a life :D11:52
directhexbut is it a normal life, or an inexplicably car-based life?11:53
awilkinsWhy do the vehicles fall in love??!?11:53
awilkinsI mean, you don't see any baby buggies or whatever driving around11:54
davmor2awilkins: they have for ever look at herbie11:54
awilkinsI suppose in Cars 1 Mc Queen has some japanese schoolgirl type car groupies11:54
directhexhow does a car "grow up" anyway? i mean, why would you build a racecar like mcqueen and he not immediately race?11:54
awilkinsBut they could just be adult cars being kawaii11:54
directhexwe know they have parents, you see lots of parents in cars 2 in italy11:54
directhexbut *how* are they related?11:54
awilkinsThey go down the car factory and pick chassis and trim together?11:55
awilkins(if it's a VW camper van, do they make sure the carpet matches the drapes?   *ducks*)11:56
diploOr you could just enjoy it for the kids film it is, not educational ? :D11:56
popeyshush diplo :)11:56
diploDon't think my kids have ever asked any of those questions11:56
diplohahahah11:56
davmor2directhex: Well this is a topic that should of been brought up at school, but basically, a mommy and daddy get together and mommy becomes pregnant........11:57
directhexalso the cars in cars die of old age? yet apparently the parts can all get replaced?11:57
directhexlike... doc hudson is dead in cars 2, and radiator springs' founder is dead in cars 1. yet in cars 2, apparently replacing an engine is nbd, so i dunno?11:57
davmor2directhex: but it was the doc that replaced the engine he couldn't do that on himself durrr :D11:58
davmor2so popey Tim Vine, hilarious as ever I hope?11:59

davmor2daftykins: there were 17 issues with upgrades and those are just the ones we knew about with a default set of apps15:25
daftykins:)15:25
daftykinsso what's the deal, do folk on a 15.04 install have to be fully up to date before they move?15:26
davmor2daftykins: the upgrade tool will only allow you to update the current system if it is out of date once it is up to date and you reboot if needed it will then dist-upgrade15:27
davmor2daftykins: been like that for a while15:27
daftykinsah ok, i'm only curious for folk coming into #ubuntu - i don't believe in upgrades personally15:28

riyasmpguys. thanks for help in advance. I m using ubuntu 14.04 LTS on samsung RV520 laptop. recently with a kernal upgrade it has sarted making a squeaky sound when on battery power along with annoying flickering of the screen. sounds and flickering goes away completly when pluged in to AC power. googling did not help much. can any one give any kind of guidance to sort this. thanks18:19
daftykinsdid it go away booting an older kernel?18:20
riyasmpdaftykins, I havent tried that yet. do u recommend trying that first?18:23
daftykinswell it'd prove if the upgrade really did cause it18:24
riyasmpdaftykins, mine was a fresh 14.04 install and did not have a problem up untill recently18:25
daftykinsyeah, kernel updates come along - so hold left shift as the disk is about to be read on boot and pick an older kernel from advanced18:26
riyasmpdaftykins, okay if that sorts out the issue what could be the next step?18:27
daftykinscross that bridge once you come to it18:27
daftykinsisolating which kernel, if at all, adds this noise is #118:27
riyasmpdaftykins, ok..i will check that and will be back. tx for the help18:28
