12:17.55 | gregj | america my arse :P |
12:21.57 | Ch0Hag | Big arse. |
12:33.35 | gregj | well, UK goverment is not better than that. I read somewhere, that 7/7 was an false flag operation too. But a lot of water will have to pass thames till those documents are released too, if ever. |
12:34.09 | gregj | it is 51st state after all :) |
12:34.25 | antiphase | Stupid conspiracy bollocks |
12:35.08 | gregj | as, our GNU 'god' - Richard Stallman says, UK prime minister(s) are Bushes poodles (not to say dogs) |
12:35.14 | Ch0Hag | Muppets. |
12:35.22 | gregj | I have it in audio somewhere, if you wish to listein to ;) |
12:35.29 | Ch0Hag | Can't refund a drive under warranty, can only replace. |
12:35.38 | antiphase | I don't believe anyone that's too stupid to use a razor regularly |
12:35.39 | gregj | antiphase: rrrright |
12:35.40 | Ch0Hag | So I have to go to these bloody offices twice to replace a £40 hard drive. |
12:35.59 | gregj | anyway, back to work |
12:36.20 | gregj | have to be busy working to survive, so I am not a threat to any goverment :) |
12:38.51 | Ch0Hag | Even if I buy a replacement before sending back the dead one. |
12:39.09 | Ch0Hag | Bloody indian callcentre too. |
12:40.18 | gregj | yeah, I remember trying to 'register' (bloody anti terrorrizm acts, that are used only to control citizens) my pay-as-you-go Orange card. I had to call them 4 times, to get someone who I was able to understand on the phone |
12:41.14 | gregj | prior to 2001 I was able to buy those cards with no hassle whatsoever. I still can go to 7-11 in .pl Today, and buy those for a quid. Unlike in UK. well. |
12:41.36 | gregj | yeah, bloody indian call centres |
12:41.37 | Ch0Hag | This country's going down the pan. |
12:41.40 | Ch0Hag | We need a recession. |
12:41.54 | Ch0Hag | Shake everyone up a bit. |
12:42.04 | antiphase | I don't see the problem with making life difficult for foreigners |
12:42.22 | Ch0Hag | What about making life difficult for natives? |
12:42.22 | antiphase | After all, most terrrrrsts are going to be foreign |
12:42.25 | gregj | I see a problem with making life difficult for anyone |
12:42.29 | gregj | rrrrright |
12:42.54 | gregj | I don't know what you smoke, but I would love to get your dealers number please |
12:43.20 | gregj | ;] |
12:43.24 | Ch0Hag | I think I smell a hint of sarcasm. |
12:43.24 | antiphase | Despite being in .nl, I don't really. It doesn't agree with me. |
12:46.08 | gregj | fact is that if not for foreginers UK (and US) will be a minor country atm. average IQ of natives in UK is well below any resonable. I read an article recently on BBC's site, about how many intelligent folks, after uni leaves the country, and escapes to US, and mostly to other quiet regions, where they don't have to worry only about money (NZ, europe, australia, and so forth) |
12:46.30 | antiphase | What a bizarre outlook |
12:47.20 | antiphase | IT may have escaped your notice that the UK once owned half the world, and while that sort of behaviour is frowned upon in these enlightened days, it proves we had the capability of doing it while no-one else did |
12:47.33 | gregj | ppl live presently in popcultural madness, we are being fed with so many false images, to make us think that everything is ok, as long as we have a quid in our pocket. It is really scarry. |
12:48.02 | antiphase | I BLAME THE INTERNETS |
12:48.25 | Ch0Hag | *had* the capability. |
12:49.34 | gregj | well, I wonder why on earth brits still live in the history. that was 150 years ago. wake up. Right now you have stuppid natives drinking till they fall in pubs all day long, all week long, so many young mothers-girls. I wouldn't be proud of those natives-brits, if I were brit. As I am not proud of stuppid Poles, as Polish Citizen myself |
12:50.03 | gregj | mind you, that Poland once was a great country too, but that was many years ago. And we don't live in the past, as Brits or French do :) |
12:50.12 | gregj | but nonetheless, time go to back to work :P |
12:50.30 | antiphase | I thought the Poles were a load of vodka-soaked plumbers stealing our jobs. Shows how wrong you can be I suppose. :P |
12:50.59 | zmey_g | antiphase: are you really that blind or stupid? |
12:51.05 | gregj | rright. I am not a plumber, and I never 'stole' any job. you guys have huuuudge shortage of IT ppl there. So... |
12:51.10 | antiphase | People were drinking excessively in the UK long before we had an empire |
12:51.12 | gregj | he is a brit :) |
12:51.14 | gregj | no offence :P |
12:51.26 | Ch0Hag | antiphase: Not stealing our jobs, *doing* our jobs. |
12:51.30 | gregj | but Brits drink more vodka than any average Pole does |
12:51.50 | gregj | do |
12:51.57 | Ch0Hag | As for Britain, I'm not proud of Britain now and I'm not proud of our history. |
12:52.29 | antiphase | You could try Africa, I think they have vacancies for skilled workers |
12:52.43 | gregj | one thing you should be proud of, is the britsh banking system. Enslaved US to this date. nice job you guys (british bankers that is) |
12:53.04 | gregj | lost the great war in US, yet were able to enslave these folks in peacefull manner |
12:53.18 | gregj | antiphase: not interested in africa, too far away |
12:53.33 | gregj | antiphase: I was invited to work in Canada, but that's too far away too. |
12:53.55 | gregj | UK is only 3h flight away. |
12:54.01 | antiphase | Free healthcare as well |
12:54.02 | zmey_g | the point is the government tries hard to shift the blame of its own failure on everything around. i mean they found easy targets- foreneirs |
12:54.34 | gregj | yeah, and before they blamed all on black ppl and god knows what else |
12:54.38 | gregj | (I am not that old) |
12:54.43 | antiphase | IT has never been any different, the peasants are slightly more revolting and demanding of full disclosure these day though |
12:54.52 | antiphase | I can't type It today |
12:55.10 | Ch0Hag | I don't think it's a coincedince that bankers and wankers are so easily confused. |
12:55.17 | gregj | hrhr |
12:55.18 | gregj | true |
12:56.46 | Ch0Hag | There is always blame, but it never goes where it should. |
12:57.21 | gregj | you just created my quote of the day :D |
12:58.21 | Ch0Hag | Which? Both? |
12:58.26 | Ch0Hag | They're in the wrong order... |
12:59.44 | zmey_g | what really makes me angry is how population tries to support establishment just because they govern them. people are so blind. all this wars against terror, just cant get it. |
13:00.26 | antiphase | What? |
13:01.37 | gregj | 13:55 < Ch0Hag> I don't think it's a coincedince that bankers and wankers are so easily confused. |
13:02.00 | Ch0Hag | That's been going on since the beginning of time. |
13:02.16 | Ch0Hag | People want rulers to tell them what to do so they don't have to go to the trouble of thinking. |
13:02.17 | gregj | did you know that most americans have no idea in what year 9/11 was? |
13:02.34 | gregj | but they know facts from TV, about actors and other 'celebrities' |
13:02.53 | gregj | you ask in Europe (I mean the mainland), and majority knows |
13:03.05 | antiphase | Americans are stupid. News at 11. |
13:03.05 | Ch0Hag | It's a little confusing these days because freedom is in fashion. |
13:03.38 | Ch0Hag | Americans are no more stupid than plebs from anywhere else, they're just in the lead. |
13:03.47 | Ch0Hag | And they do so like being first. |
13:04.03 | zmey_g | there is no freedom guys in the world. go and see matrix |
13:05.15 | gregj | this is some really good shit you are smoking, or just inhailing, seriously. |
13:07.08 | gregj | truth also is, many of those 'world conspiracy' theories are funny, and overstated. And the way those folks present them in, I mean, it scares ppl away, and causes laughter spazms in some folks. |
13:07.59 | Ch0Hag | Incompetence generally trumps conspiracy. |
13:08.23 | antiphase | People have always been dishonest and underhand, I don't see any difference other than worldwide communication is now ubiquitous so people babble on about it all the time |
13:08.59 | gregj | or maybe not 'in' but ppl laught at them. I do. But I also take some of those messages seriously, and think about them. You know, it doesn't matter how something is presented. We are now being fed with bleak messages being fed to us in a really nice way. Empty messages really. We are so used to the way things are being presented in, we don't look at the message anymore |
13:09.05 | Ch0Hag | Deceit feeds on itself. |
13:09.46 | gregj | anyway, time to fill my rabit hole with concrete :P |

21:52.44 | secretlondo | yeah - the icc stuff isn't working here |
21:53.16 | secretlondo | i'll add yer repo to sources.list and get the source |
21:53.37 | etorix | er, not sure if it will work as-repo yet |
21:53.50 | secretlondo | but it looks classy - it has the quality control that the gimp lacks |
21:54.25 | etorix | get manually the 3 files that end as above |
21:54.40 | etorix | put em in a dir |
21:54.58 | etorix | find the buntu instructions |

22:12.15 | secretlondo | cool |
22:12.40 | secretlondo | libpng-dev is already a dependency of something else on the list if that matters |
22:13.42 | etorix | might do, it all wants re-looking at now anyway |
22:14.29 | etorix | main thing is, its where it can be looked-at |

22:27.41 | hali | blimey, hm, looks like Betfair forked out and bought themselves a couple of Egenera cabinets |
22:29.18 | secretlondo | Discordian: the first one is about miro and I presume is on the web site somewhere |
22:29.27 | secretlondo | I've no idea what the second one is |
22:30.16 | Discordian | I can't find either on the website actually |
22:31.52 | wethrin | Neither are on thed website yhet |
