| 09:46.31 | goibhniu | IMO believing is seeing |
| 09:47.48 | bilarh | well, imo it's all bollox, but i enjoy reading the 'horoscope' in the metro in the mornings :-D |

| 09:48.31 | goibhniu | my gf used to argue that it was interesting because it was so ambiguous that you read into it whatever you felt |

| 09:51.13 | goibhniu | bilarh: have you given a talk before? |

| 09:51.27 | bilarh | not for gllug, no |

| 09:53.22 | goibhniu | can't you give a talk on bash or something? |
| 09:53.49 | bilarh | i did do one on bash scripting once, but i don't think my students understood what i was on about... |

| 09:54.26 | bilarh | goibhniu: and what do you mean "holy crap!"? :-) |

| 09:55.27 | goibhniu | bilarh: holy crap ... as in ... why haven't you given a talk yet! |
| 09:55.30 | bilarh | see the problem with "bash scripting" as a subject is that the toolkit is too big |
| 09:55.38 | bilarh | oh, i'm not that good a lecturer... |
| 09:55.49 | bilarh | as i said, i just did short courses |
| 09:55.49 | zmey_gorynych | bilarh:> are sed an awk used nowadays? if yes, is it worth to mention it on gllug? |
| 09:55.57 | bilarh | zmey: yeah of course |
| 09:56.11 | bilarh | zmey: that's exactly what i mean... sed and awk could use two lectures each, easily |
| 09:56.39 | goibhniu | bilarh: is there anything linuxy that you're interested in showing off? |
| 09:57.11 | zmey_gorynych | i'm just trying to figure the matter out. start even read some books. |
| 09:57.11 | bilarh | goibhniu: i don't know... i don't feel comfortable enough to show off my 'own work', if you know what i mean |
| 09:57.16 | bilarh | in my experience so far, most people aren't interested in what i'm interested in, if you see what i mean |
| 09:57.56 | goibhniu | bilarh: humans! :( |
| 09:58.12 | bilarh | for example, i could probably rabbit on about the merits of different locking mechanisms in scripting (which i find quite interesting), where as most people would find it boring :-) |
| 09:58.28 | goibhniu | yes I remember you posting something about that |
| 09:58.36 | goibhniu | I didn't understand what it was about |
| 09:58.41 | bilarh | and i remember the overwhelming lack of response :-D |
| 09:58.58 | goibhniu | but I would like to see a demo of it |
| 09:58.58 | zmey_gorynych | bilarh:> that would be enormous help if somebody could talk a bit on awk, sed, bash scripting |
| 09:59.22 | bilarh | hmm, i don't know if i have time at the moment... i'm studying at the moment as well |
| 09:59.30 | bilarh | when was it, did you say? |
| 09:59.55 | bilarh | and where is it? |
| 09:59.56 | goibhniu | bilarh: recently a guy gave a talk on a python gui toolkit he wrote ... and he was blown out of it ... "why didn't you just use ... blah (you idiot)" |
| 10:00.08 | goibhniu | it looked cool tho (to me) |
| 10:00.15 | goibhniu | Nov 10th |
| 10:00.20 | bilarh | goibhniu: nice... that's another reason i wouldn't want to do it, to be honest |
| 10:00.44 | goibhniu | yeah, people suck |
| 10:01.26 | bilarh | goibhniu: to be honest, i think that if that happened to me, it would end with me saying something along the lines of "if you don't like it, f00k off!" which would make me look quite stupid indeed :) |
| 10:02.00 | goibhniu | if a fight broke out ... I'd back you up |
| 10:02.05 | goibhniu | you've got good kung fu |
| 10:02.11 | bilarh | hehe :P |
| 10:02.50 | bilarh | maybe we'd end up in the news paper.... "nerds in lecture bash" |
| 10:04.43 | goibhniu | I want to record the next one (if the speakers agree) on video |
| 10:05.07 | goibhniu | a snuff talk would make excellent footage |
| 10:05.40 | zmey_g | goibhniu:> this is brilliant idea. guys on slug do recording as well |

| 11:35.46 | wethrin | Was it a particularly scary place? |
| 11:36.23 | antiphase | Somewhat. AS an aside, if you ever want to try and do auto-away with a plug-in in irssi, DON'T. |
| 11:36.30 | antiphase | It completely fucks everything |
| 11:36.35 | wethrin | I don't like auto-away |
| 11:36.38 | antiphase | Hence my brief and total departure |

| 11:37.16 | antiphase | That's what I found, but after i removed it I was unable to un-away from some servers, and nothing I typed appeared in channel |

| 11:47.24 | antiphase | Always-on IRC, from anywhere |
| 11:47.47 | dick_turpin | antiphase: I'm not good enough to use screen yet. Whats co-lo box? |
| 11:48.29 | antiphase | A server belonging to you, co-located in some else's data centre |
| 11:49.11 | dick_turpin | antiphase: Hm, I was reading about bitlbee and the ability to use one on someone elses server |
| 11:49.29 | antiphase | I also use bitlbee. It rules. |
| 11:50.11 | dick_turpin | antiphase: I installed it here but not too sure how to invoke it and irssi together |
| 11:50.46 | antiphase | You just use irssi to connect to the bitlbee "irc" server |
| 11:51.11 | antiphase | so '/connect localhost' if it's on the same machine as your IRC client |
| 11:52.35 | dick_turpin | antiphase: Hm "connection refused" is that because httpd is not running? |
| 11:53.27 | antiphase | bitlbee is either a standalone server or invoked through [x]inetd, depending how you set it up |
| 11:53.34 | antiphase | You may need to start the daemon |
| 11:53.53 | antiphase | It's bitlbeed of course ;) |
| 11:54.07 | dick_turpin | antiphase: I did that yesterday and it said "Running as root why?" |
| 11:54.24 | antiphase | Doesn't it have a proper startup script? |
| 11:54.50 | antiphase | IT doesn't need to run as root to bind to port 6667, so you should add a dedicated user or run it as nobody |
| 11:55.05 | dick_turpin | antiphase: Hang on just re-read what you said, bitlbeed |
| 11:55.36 | antiphase | I'd probably expect to find /etc/init.d/bitlbeed |
| 11:56.53 | bilarh | is bitlbee any good for msn nowadays? |
| 11:57.25 | antiphase | WFM, as long as you just want to talk to people |
| 11:57.33 | dick_turpin | antiphase: That didn't work just looking at the man page |
| 11:59.00 | bilarh | i might have to give it a go actually |
| 12:00.16 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Should've gone to specsavers |
| 12:04.18 | dick_turpin | antiphase: This may take a while, its a permissions issue. I only need it for some google.talk stuff |
| 12:05.00 | zmey_g | anybody run Jinzora? |
| 12:06.05 | antiphase | dick_turpin: You should probably start it manually or in debug mode to determine what's wrong |
| 12:07.58 | dick_turpin | antiphase: If I run it as 'sales' the error is "could not write to /var/lib (Blah blah) |
| 12:08.17 | dick_turpin | antiphase: If I run it as root the error is "Why" |
| 12:08.24 | antiphase | It will refuse to run as root iirc |
| 12:08.43 | dick_turpin | antiphase: Yeah thats cool and understandable |
| 12:08.52 | antiphase | So you need to create /var/lib/bitlbee or whatever it expects, then change the ownership to the user you run it as. Innit. |

| 12:25.55 | wethrin | Or at least any highlights you've set up |
| 12:26.00 | niv_one_three | and also how to have my nickname password auto registr |
| 12:26.27 | wethrin | Haven't done that, so I don't know |
| 12:26.42 | niv_one_three | where can I set highlights? (I sware I didnt do it) |
| 12:27.10 | wethrin | /help hilight |
| 12:27.22 | dick_turpin | wethrin: /set recode off |
| 12:28.10 | wethrin | recode? |
| 12:28.55 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Never mind, my fault idiot on the phone while I'm reading #irssi and try to sort crap out |

| 12:34.04 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: My other nick is Billy-No-Mates I'm trying to ingratiate myself ;-) |
| 12:35.41 | boudiccas | lol |
| 12:36.41 | Armand | the butler did it.. and, under the floorboards. |
| 12:37.01 | boudiccas | the butler was provoked |
| 12:37.12 | niv_one_three | I sware i didnt |
| 12:37.15 | boudiccas | and it was done with the lead piping behind the left ear |
| 12:37.22 | Armand | lies.. he was knobbing the maid and morsing caught them.. |
| 12:37.24 | niv_one_three | I was having a bath |
| 12:37.34 | dick_turpin | So which one of you hard faced sods upset him then? |

| 12:39.18 | boudiccas | we'' drink a drink to llily the pink the pink the savouir of the human race |
| 12:42.14 | goibhniu | boudiccas: morsing was wondering if you're getting his messages |
| 12:42.22 | goibhniu | I thought it might be irssi related |
| 12:43.08 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Is he alive then? |
| 12:43.31 | goibhniu | undead probably |
| 12:43.42 | goibhniu | he had chicken and chocolate for lunch |
| 12:44.28 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: With that combination he should be dead |
| 12:45.04 | boudiccas | goibhniu: yes, everyhting in irssi is working well except for the spell checker :( |
| 12:45.44 | goibhniu | hmm .. aspeller worked fine for me ... but only in english |
| 12:45.47 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: My spellchecker is working, hence the improvement in my spelling (antiphase) |
| 12:46.15 | boudiccas | my spell chucker doesn't seem to be working. is it an addon script? |
| 12:47.00 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Rotflmao Yes! |
| 12:47.58 | boudiccas | dick_turpin: so whats it called instead of just laughing at me!??? |
| 12:48.32 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Show me the money! show me the money! |
| 12:52.09 | boudiccas | seems like there isnt a spell checker script for irssi, not that firefox could find on the scripts page |
| 12:52.10 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: http://www.nathancoad.com/aspeller.tar.gz |
| 12:52.40 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Download that unpack it and do the README |
| 12:53.47 | dick_turpin | xteddy: Wheres me cuddle? (I know its a bot) |
| 12:53.47 | xteddy | :) |
| 12:55.38 | boudiccas | there is no README in it, its just the perl script so i've put it in ./irssi/scripts/autorun/ so that next time i restart i can utilise it okay |
| 12:56.23 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Please that's how I got divorced last time |
| 12:57.02 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: do /run aspeller |
| 12:57.42 | boudiccas | how do i check if its working after running it??? |
| 13:00.55 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Type something, should show up as a red block in the status bar |
| 13:02.11 | boudiccas | something is wrong in what i ma rtyping |
| 13:02.34 | boudiccas | i didnt see anyting |
| 13:02.53 | boudiccas | no i see no correction or red block in the status bar |
| 13:03.08 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Hm, do /load perl then /run aspeller |
| 13:04.57 | boudiccas | is tis riht |
| 13:04.57 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Ah hang on it wont correct just highlight misspelt words |
| 13:05.06 | boudiccas | no change, still doesn't work for me. maybe it shouldnt be in autorun. maybe it doesnt work with the simplicity.theme |
| 13:05.23 | boudiccas | no it doesnt even highlight anything |
| 13:05.38 | z00dax | so, how do I add a keyboard shortcut in gnome ? |
| 13:05.56 | boudiccas | i make a deliberate mistake and it doesnt show up at all :( |
| 13:06.32 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: stick a copy in .irssi/scripts |
| 13:08.01 | boudiccas | dos this work? well i ran aspell after i'd put it in but i see no change, so not to worry, snafu |
| 13:08.17 | z00dax | dick_turpin: you have terrible suppliers |
| 13:09.09 | goibhniu | boudiccas: maybe you need to install aspell? |
| 13:09.47 | z00dax | goibhniu: you are the gnome person! |
| 13:09.55 | z00dax | how do i add a keyboard shortcut to launch a $app |
| 13:09.57 | goibhniu | z00dax: I'm on kde now :( |
| 13:10.10 | z00dax | goibhniu: how very inconsiderate of you |
| 13:10.10 | goibhniu | and compiz does it's own thang |
| 13:10.17 | z00dax | I use metacity |
| 13:10.19 | boudiccas | dick_turpin: you muppet! getting me to run aspell when its called aspeller! now its working after running aspeller :))) problem solved |
| 13:10.36 | goibhniu | z00dax: there is a way though ... in settings->somewhere |
| 13:10.51 | z00dax | you mean system -> preferences ? |
| 13:11.14 | goibhniu | I dunno |
| 13:12.00 | z00dax | ah well, shall investigate later |
| 13:12.17 | goibhniu | sorry ... I might try gnome again next week |

| 13:46.51 | Leeds | I forget that you're not all Japanophiles like rhowe... |
| 13:49.59 | Leeds | they are a well-known Japanese snack - thin biscuit sticks, covered with a thin-ish layer of chocolate, except for one end so you can hold it |
| 13:50.01 | boudiccas | but you still havent told us Leeds what pocky is??? |
| 13:50.02 | mikejw | my friend is japanese and she is in an awesome band |
| 13:50.17 | bilarh | leeds: i remember them! (i think) |
| 13:50.23 | bilarh | leeds: in a greenish packet? |
| 13:50.55 | Leeds | the normal pack is red |
| 13:51.18 | bilarh | hmm |
| 13:51.22 | bilarh | oh well, never mind :-) |
| 13:51.29 | Leeds | but I think the "men's pocky" is in green - coffee flavoured |
| 13:51.36 | bilarh | i could have sworn i had something called that, but then it's *gasp* four years already since i went |
| 13:51.51 | bilarh | damn, time flies |
| 13:52.07 | Leeds | also, they have them in a bunch of other special flavours, including green tea |
| 13:52.53 | boudiccas | ahhh snuff |
| 13:53.33 | boudiccas | got the bugger! |
| 13:53.49 | boudiccas | an irritating little fly was really pissing me off! |

| 13:59.43 | bilarh | man i hate users |
| 13:59.54 | bilarh | why don't they just all roll over and stop pissing me off :P |
| 14:01.41 | dick_turpin | bilarh: I've switched my machine on and its not the same |
| 14:01.50 | dick_turpin | bilarh: It was OK last night |
| 14:01.58 | dick_turpin | bilarh: But now its different |
| 14:02.09 | bilarh | dick_turpin: f00k off! ;-) |
| 14:02.50 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Can I speak to your supervisor? you're customer support skills are terrible |
| 14:03.36 | boudiccas | dick_turpin: are you getting a pm request from me please? |
| 14:03.46 | Leeds | mmm... open faced club sand wedge |
| 14:03.57 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: No |
| 14:04.33 | boudiccas | ah, so how do i pm someone with irssi then. is it just like /msg dick_turpin then??? |
| 14:04.40 | antiphase | Or /query |
| 14:05.00 | dick_turpin | antiphase: Aha I'll try that then |
| 14:05.11 | antiphase | msg sends a message immediately, query opens a window but doesn't send anything immediately |
| 14:05.33 | antiphase | Same as all IRC clients afaik |
| 14:06.46 | antiphase | While you're down there... |
| 14:07.29 | goibhniu | boudiccas: have you already registered with freenode? /msg nickserv identify <passwd> |
| 14:07.32 | dick_turpin | antiphase: You've not paid me for last time and you didn't keep your promise "I won't..." |
| 14:07.41 | antiphase | Heh |
| 14:07.43 | mikejw | guys... |
| 14:08.18 | boudiccas | mikejw: that counts me out then :( |
| 14:08.29 | mikejw | is creating a permanent ssh tuunnel from one (dmz) subnet into another subnet a good idea? |
| 14:08.48 | mikejw | s/tuunel/tunnel |
| 14:08.51 | antiphase | Sounds like you should be using a real router |
| 14:09.14 | mikejw | yeah |
| 14:09.23 | mikejw | although... |
| 14:09.46 | mikejw | I think the real issue is that we shouldn't bother with a DMZ at all if one of the routers is a BT home hub |
| 14:10.03 | Armand | O_O |
| 14:10.04 | zmey_g | guys serious question. a friend wants to install mac os x on his LG ls55. it looks like mac os x on install can't see laptop's keyboard. so will it recognise the keyboard after install or after updates at least? |
| 14:10.41 | Armand | mikejw: I've heard those BT home hub's are weaker than wet toilet paper.. |
| 14:11.09 | mikejw | how can I prove that to my much esteemed co-workers? |
| 14:11.20 | Armand | show them the BT badge? |
| 14:11.21 | wethrin | zmey_g: An LG ls55 doesn't sound like a Mac |
| 14:11.34 | mikejw | lol |
| 14:12.10 | zmey_g | wethrin:> he sad he installed mac os on PC in the past |
| 14:12.18 | wethrin | Mac OS, or Darwin? |
| 14:12.20 | Armand | my cousin has a linux util which "bombs" them, and forces them to reset. |
| 14:12.35 | zmey_g | wethrin:> mac os X 10.4.6 |
| 14:12.53 | mikejw | Armand: I can believe it :/ |
| 14:13.16 | Armand | He's a fking genius.. I hardly understand half the stuff he has. :P |
| 14:14.32 | wethrin | zmey_g: Unsupported configuration, then |
| 14:15.36 | bilarh | mikejw: run ppp on top of ssh, that's what I say :) |
| 14:15.44 | Armand | I think he said, he can disable the WPA keys on them.. and force them to broadcast SSID? |
| 14:15.48 | zmey_g | wethrin:> i try to ask him whether he installed mac on pc straight or through emulation |
| 14:16.24 | goibhniu | zmey_g: etorix knows these things |
| 14:16.24 | mikejw | :) |
| 14:16.48 | Armand | I'll see if he's back from Uni.. at some point today. :P |
| 14:17.28 | mikejw | cool ask him to read my email for me :P |

| 14:31.00 | zmey_g | goibhniu:> ah ok. i use linux and i hope it's legal |
| 14:31.48 | mikejw | but the plan is to have (internet)--[adsl router]--[web/ftp server] |
| 14:33.03 | mikejw | another machine coming off the adsl router providing a ssh tunnel beyond a secondary hardware firewall which is the main ssh/svn server |
| 14:33.20 | mikejw | *which is where the ssh/svn server resides |
| 14:37.48 | antiphase | Why do you need a tunnel instead of just a firewall rule? |

| 16:45.58 | antiphase | Got any spare biscuits? |
| 16:47.16 | hali | goibhniu: i'm a corporate redhat whore |
| 16:47.51 | niv_one_three | "ffs, gentoo on a dual-core xeon box ... what a waste" why? |
| 16:48.08 | niv_one_three | I wish I had quad to do my upgrades |
| 16:48.08 | hali | niv_one_three: gentoo on anything but a small hobbyist box is kind of strange |
| 16:48.16 | hali | don't get me wrong, i like gentoo |
| 16:48.25 | hali | it's great for learning about stuff i guess |
| 16:48.27 | niv_one_three | depends on the demend for cutting edge |
| 16:48.31 | antiphase | IT just takes a long time to get stable, and you can never replicate what you've done |
| 16:48.42 | antiphase | Gentoo = toy |
| 16:48.48 | niv_one_three | hmm... |
| 16:49.02 | z00dax | rawhide always worked well for people who wanted totally bleeding edge |
| 16:49.09 | niv_one_three | I kind of agree |
| 16:49.33 | hali | exactly, try to submit a bug to a vendor and they are supposed to replicate it .... what version of X Y Z blabla |
| 16:50.14 | hali | classic question in #oracle, "why doesn't oracle support debian unstable branch foo/gentoo" |
| 16:51.07 | hali | simple answer, it would cost too much |
| 16:52.43 | goibhniu | as a desktop gentoo rocks IMO, you can pick and choose which bits you want to be stable and easily install and switch between versions |
| 16:53.07 | goibhniu | waiting 6 months/3 years to upgrade your browser just doesn't do it for me |
| 16:53.21 | antiphase | I use Firefox 1.5 and it shows me web pages. |
| 16:53.42 | mikejw | :D |
| 16:54.25 | antiphase | I admit there are odd problems with banking webshites, but it saves me 2 hours every time I don't have to compile the latest version |
| 16:55.08 | z00dax | gentoo isnt bad as a desktop |
| 16:55.15 | goibhniu | I was impressed with the upgrade to feisty though ... it fixed a lot of broken things and didn't break anything |
| 16:55.16 | z00dax | but only for people who are really involved with systems |
| 16:55.23 | z00dax | not for people who just want to use a desktop |
| 16:55.28 | goibhniu | I find gentoo the least hassle to look after |
| 16:55.30 | z00dax | and have most things work from most vendors |
| 16:55.41 | z00dax | goibhniu: but it needs looking after :) |
| 16:55.48 | goibhniu | the docs are great, and if you want to do something odd you can |
| 16:56.01 | goibhniu | z00dax: not really |
| 16:56.09 | z00dax | how much backports does gentoo get ? |
| 16:56.21 | antiphase | It needs sooooo much looking after, especially when a `emerge -NDuav world` makes your system blow up and not boot again |
| 16:56.38 | antiphase | and you're using RAID and LVM in an initramfs |
| 16:56.46 | goibhniu | honestly I've had more trouble with ubuntu |
| 16:57.00 | goibhniu | I just update once a week and get newer releases of stuff |
| 16:57.25 | z00dax | because i like to just use stuff, i update every 12 - 18 months, and i am quite happy with most stuff |
| 16:57.30 | goibhniu | z00dax: backports aren't relevant |
| 16:57.36 | z00dax | goibhniu: sure they are |
| 16:57.44 | z00dax | its the one thing that defines the idea of stable |
| 16:57.55 | goibhniu | you compile everything to match what you have on your system |
| 16:58.01 | z00dax | i dont want to rewrite all my apps in $language becuase noone in my distro is going to backport that major security issue |
| 16:58.22 | z00dax | and the only version that fix's it does not have $feature or $feature is broken that my app depends on |
| 16:59.02 | z00dax | if your distro isnt going to gurantee $api / $abi compliance for atleast some period of time, the idea of stable goes right out of the window |
| 16:59.20 | goibhniu | well ...e.g. I run firefox 1.5 alongside 2.0 ... both get updated with security fixes etc |
| 16:59.51 | goibhniu | you pick whatever version you want to stick with |
| 17:00.06 | goibhniu | you can easily freeze it to a major version number, downgrade etc |
| 17:00.38 | z00dax | sure, and the next time you hit a kernel security issues... |
| 17:00.57 | goibhniu | I don't understand |
| 17:01.01 | z00dax | you need to consider the whole desktop experience for someone - dont look at isolated pockets of human -> machine interface |
| 17:01.55 | z00dax | what happens on gentoo when there is a kernel security issue ? |
| 17:02.08 | goibhniu | you upgrade the kernel |
| 17:02.12 | z00dax | does everyone just update to whatever is the latest ? ( and where the fix mightbe ? ) |
| 17:02.26 | z00dax | right, and if this now breaks suspend for your laptop ? |
| 17:02.34 | goibhniu | you pick whatever one you want ... e.g. I run the one with suspend patches |
| 17:02.45 | z00dax | which might have gaping security holes |
| 17:02.58 | goibhniu | it's a pretty popular one |
| 17:03.12 | z00dax | as is windows |
| 17:03.24 | z00dax | quite popular |
| 17:03.58 | goibhniu | why do you think it's any less secure than centos? |
| 17:04.12 | goibhniu | the testing redhat does on it? |
| 17:04.13 | z00dax | s/secure/usable/ |
| 17:04.38 | goibhniu | well, we were taking security as an example no? |
| 17:04.49 | z00dax | eg. i know right now that the latest centos-5-kernel has no known exploit |
| 17:04.54 | goibhniu | I mean, the kernel I use gets updates ... I install them |
| 17:05.14 | z00dax | while i also know that suspend on my ferrari 4005 which worked in Nov last year, also works just fine today |
| 17:05.41 | goibhniu | yeah ... you're saying this is more likely to break in gentoo? |
| 17:05.44 | z00dax | thats not what you said - you said you update the kernel, which is different from 'the kenel gets updates, i install them ' |
| 17:06.04 | goibhniu | I mean there are new versions of it |
| 17:06.18 | z00dax | well, ati chipsets were broken through most of 2007 on upstreak kernels.... |
| 17:06.27 | z00dax | the 4005 is an ati mobo |
| 17:06.51 | z00dax | and no suspend didnt work on it pretty much through 2.6.22 to 24rc |
| 17:06.51 | goibhniu | and? |
| 17:07.09 | mikejw | sounds like it needs fixing |
| 17:07.34 | goibhniu | I don't see your point ... with gentoo or any other distro you can choose from a number of kernels |
| 17:08.12 | z00dax | mikejw: someone did fix it recently, should be ok again in .24 |
| 17:08.19 | mikejw | ok |
| 17:09.07 | z00dax | goibhniu: do all those kernels get all the security updates and fix's ? |
| 17:09.07 | zmey_g | Review: <Ubuntu's New 'Gutsy Gibbon' Brings Linux Out of the Jungle>i didn't know i'm still deep in jungle. |
| 17:09.20 | z00dax | btw, thats just one issue - easiest highlighted by kernel, but it stretches across pretty much everywhere |
| 17:09.56 | z00dax | and no, i am not saying one is better than the other - its just that gentoo does not really lend itself well to a general purpose average human being desktop |
| 17:10.00 | wethrin | CURRY? |
| 17:10.06 | z00dax | and yes, that is opnion |
| 17:10.10 | z00dax | opinion even |
| 17:10.18 | z00dax | wethrin: ! come to warren street by 7pm |
| 17:10.37 | wethrin | bah. I can't :( |
| 17:12.41 | goibhniu | z00dax: I'm just saying that I've run gentoo and ubuntu for quite a while and I find gentoo less hassle |
| 17:13.24 | goibhniu | I don't really see the point about kernel updates, I think gentoo offers more flexibility there too |
| 17:14.20 | goibhniu | i.e. if you want a specific kernel on ubuntu ... it's a lot more hassle to keep it up to date |

| 19:41.56 | niv_one_three | right? |
| 19:42.13 | niv_one_three | guess the test stetment is wrong |

| 19:43.10 | antiphase | Overoptimisation is A Bad Thing |
| 19:43.15 | niv_one_three | one liner? |
| 19:43.27 | antiphase | My solution ivolved a terminal, a monitor and your eyes |
| 19:43.29 | antiphase | ;) |
