sebsebseb | to replace 9.10 | Nov 20 00:41 |
schestowitz | GNOME? | Nov 20 00:42 |
sebsebseb | Debian Stable is good, and my vm's been updated to testing need to re boot for that | Nov 20 00:42 |
sebsebseb | yes Gnome | Nov 20 00:42 |
sebsebseb | well nearly properly updated, that's a bit odd I seem to have lost the bottom panel in the vm | Nov 20 00:43 |

sebsebseb | well yeah maybe | Nov 20 00:47 |
sebsebseb | if it will install this time | Nov 20 00:47 |
sebsebseb | and like my partitions | Nov 20 00:47 |
sebsebseb | Fedora 11 didn't and I got a message from the installer saying it was probably a bug | Nov 20 00:47 |
sebsebseb | and to report it | Nov 20 00:48 |
Ender2070 | its probably because there was a lack of bacon | Nov 20 00:48 |
sebsebseb | I think Sabayon will be ok, once the default black theme has been changed to something else | Nov 20 00:48 |
Ender2070 | you try arch linux? | Nov 20 00:49 |
sebsebseb | that has been suggested to me, but when someone tried to help me get it set up in a vm. that took a while doing the basics. and then Virtualbox closed on me | Nov 20 00:50 |
sebsebseb | since the kernel wasn't liked in the vm or whatever | Nov 20 00:50 |
sebsebseb | I don't really want to customize a distro that much, I want pretty good defaults, and then I don't mind doing basic customizing here and there, and installing loads of programs of course | Nov 20 00:51 |

_goblin | My favorite Bill Gates comment at the moment: | Nov 20 01:26 |
_goblin | "If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good." | Nov 20 01:26 |
_goblin | how true that is of MS. (IMO) | Nov 20 01:26 |
schestowitz | _goblin: what do you think is the personal impact of this on you? | Nov 20 01:27 |
schestowitz | Let me rephrase it | Nov 20 01:27 |
DaemonFC | I have two cavities that need filled | Nov 20 01:27 |
schestowitz | Cause I address a line too far up (catching up) | Nov 20 01:27 |
DaemonFC | there went my savings | Nov 20 01:27 |
schestowitz | What is the impact of your reach on how you view your posts? | Nov 20 01:27 |
schestowitz | The Bill Gates quote it true, but the fact that he said it is a shot in the foot | Nov 20 01:28 |
schestowitz | It's a case of keeping up appearance or saving face | Nov 20 01:28 |
DaemonFC | I'm going to try to find a dentist that does silver fillings | Nov 20 01:28 |
schestowitz | Gates is also enamoured w/ "Evangelisation" | Nov 20 01:28 |
DaemonFC | those white composite fillings are more expensive | Nov 20 01:28 |
schestowitz | He keeps talking about it in memos | Nov 20 01:28 |
schestowitz | And now he applies it to himself, glorifying himself using PR firms | Nov 20 01:29 |
_goblin | schestowitz: Sorry I didn't understand the question.... | Nov 20 01:29 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: you need teeth? :-p | Nov 20 01:29 |
_goblin | schestowitz: are you talking about the service/force remark? | Nov 20 01:29 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: just fillings in two molars | Nov 20 01:29 |
schestowitz | _goblin: never mind, it's too profound, I guess | Nov 20 01:29 |
DaemonFC | it's probably going to run around $210 near as I can tell | Nov 20 01:29 |
schestowitz | I just found that some people in this situation changed priorities | Nov 20 01:30 |
DaemonFC | maybe more | Nov 20 01:30 |
schestowitz | Including some relatives | Nov 20 01:30 |
schestowitz | WHose family saw the back or their heads more than face (due to computer use after work) | Nov 20 01:30 |
DaemonFC | about $210 if I get silver fillings, about $280 if I get white fillings | Nov 20 01:30 |
schestowitz | I never had fillings | Nov 20 01:30 |
DaemonFC | 'I figure if nobody can see them anyway, why spend another $70? | Nov 20 01:30 |
schestowitz | See? You eat too much CANDY! | Nov 20 01:31 |
DaemonFC | problem is that not all dentists will do silver anymore | Nov 20 01:31 |
DaemonFC | no, I don't | Nov 20 01:31 |
DaemonFC | I try to go sugar free on everything I can | Nov 20 01:31 |
schestowitz | First seizures, now this... | Nov 20 01:31 |
schestowitz | s* hits the fan, eh? :-( | Nov 20 01:31 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: Yes | Nov 20 01:32 |
DaemonFC | oh well, at least I have enough cash on hand to get this over with | Nov 20 01:32 |
schestowitz | And you're alive, too | Nov 20 01:33 |
DaemonFC | nothing like having to make payments on something for 3-4 months | Nov 20 01:33 |
schestowitz | The insurance companies love you | Nov 20 01:33 |
schestowitz | You fund them well | Nov 20 01:34 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: What insurance? | Nov 20 01:34 |
schestowitz | And they can use the money to employ more astroturfers | Nov 20 01:34 |
DaemonFC | I don't have insurance | Nov 20 01:34 |
schestowitz | Here's how they work | Nov 20 01:34 |
schestowitz | Insurance companies don't want bad PR | Nov 20 01:34 |
schestowitz | So they conspire to put 10% each inside some new arm | Nov 20 01:34 |
DaemonFC | of course they don't | Nov 20 01:34 |
schestowitz | Something with a name that's Orwellian | Nov 20 01:34 |
schestowitz | Like "health for the people" | Nov 20 01:34 |
schestowitz | And then they recruit protestors whom they pay | Nov 20 01:35 |
schestowitz | To block reform for healthcare for the people | Nov 20 01:35 |
DaemonFC | I may buy a dental policy, get this done, then drop it | Nov 20 01:35 |
DaemonFC | I dunno if I can though | Nov 20 01:35 |
schestowitz | Vassal by circumstantial illness | Nov 20 01:35 |
schestowitz | Now you got stricken by bad food/drugs they sell you | Nov 20 01:35 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz: Probably, but it wouldn't do any good | Nov 20 01:46 |
DaemonFC | you have the Republicans, who want to shoot down all health reform, and the Democrats who want to bastardize it and tell you what you need and what you'll get | Nov 20 01:46 |

sebsebseb | in 9.10 Ext4 is meant to speed things up, but I been in the big channel when at least one or two people said it slowed things down or something | Nov 20 02:44 |
sebsebseb | Ext4 uh | Nov 20 02:44 |
sebsebseb | I meant to put | Nov 20 02:44 |
sebsebseb | Xsplash | Nov 20 02:44 |
_goblin | compared to Chakra...Ubuntu is about 10 times faster in shutting down... | Nov 20 02:44 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: I guess i'll put Mandriva on and run that as host for a while or so | Nov 20 02:44 |
_goblin | and unless Im being a total Hadron, Chakra was ext4 | Nov 20 02:45 |
sebsebseb | then if 10.04 is good enough, probably put that on and run that for a while | Nov 20 02:45 |
_goblin | is that LTS? | Nov 20 02:45 |
sebsebseb | yes | Nov 20 02:45 |
_goblin | may go for that... | Nov 20 02:45 |
_goblin | 8.04 served me well. | Nov 20 02:45 |
sebsebseb | 8.10 served me well, rather well indeed at the time | Nov 20 02:45 |
sebsebseb | Ext4 came along in 9.04 as an optional file system | Nov 20 02:46 |
_goblin | I had a convoluted modded Ubuntu SE/8.04 LTS for a long time. Fast as hell and rock solid. | Nov 20 02:46 |
sebsebseb | on the other computer I wanted to run 8.10 instead of 9.04 | Nov 20 02:46 |
sebsebseb | when 8.04 was getting to old for my likeing on there | Nov 20 02:46 |
sebsebseb | so I upgraded to 8.10 | Nov 20 02:46 |
sebsebseb | and it was all good, except the ethernet woudn't work | Nov 20 02:46 |
sebsebseb | I thought well ok then, so something went wrong on upgrade, i'll clean install, and put the 64bit version on this time as well | Nov 20 02:47 |
_goblin | its funny you say 8.04 was getting old....the latest Gnusense is based on it. | Nov 20 02:47 |
sebsebseb | was running 32bit before on there. and it's 2GB RAM | Nov 20 02:47 |
Ender2070 | doesnt mean its not old | Nov 20 02:47 |
sebsebseb | that computer can't run Windows at the moment :D | Nov 20 02:47 |
sebsebseb | Windows messed up big time recently | Nov 20 02:47 |
Ender2070 | 8.04 = April 2008 | Nov 20 02:47 |
sebsebseb | Ubuntu 9.04 is working fine on there still | Nov 20 02:47 |
_goblin | yes I am aware... | Nov 20 02:47 |
_goblin | that was at Ender | Nov 20 02:48 |
sebsebseb | anyway going back to my story | Nov 20 02:48 |
sebsebseb | so I put 8.10 on a clean isntall, and oh no the ethernet woudn't work | Nov 20 02:48 |
sebsebseb | then I try it on the Live CD, and it won't work there either | Nov 20 02:48 |
sebsebseb | so I end up putting 9.04 on with Ext4 instead | Nov 20 02:48 |
sebsebseb | I went to the big channel for help with the ethernet issue, but no luck | Nov 20 02:49 |
sebsebseb | before 9.04 went on | Nov 20 02:49 |
_goblin | apparently 8.10 had some very good benchmarks compared to 8.04 and 9.04 | Nov 20 02:49 |
_goblin | having said that I had 8.04 since release day.....did I get comeback when I suggested Gnusense was less than current due to being based off it..... | Nov 20 02:50 |
sebsebseb | what was that? | Nov 20 02:50 |
_goblin | what? | Nov 20 02:51 |
sebsebseb | what you just put | Nov 20 02:51 |
_goblin | ah | Nov 20 02:51 |
_goblin | yeah the new version of Gnusense was based off 8.04...I suggested that in order to get people using totally free distro, that may be a factor in them choosing not too. | Nov 20 02:52 |
sebsebseb | uhmm I think you mean | Nov 20 02:52 |
sebsebseb | Gnewsense | Nov 20 02:52 |
_goblin | lol | Nov 20 02:52 |
_goblin | yeah sorry | Nov 20 02:52 |
_goblin | its 0250 here | Nov 20 02:52 |
sebsebseb | same here | Nov 20 02:52 |
_goblin | uk'r? | Nov 20 02:52 |
sebsebseb | well when I put that | Nov 20 02:52 |
DaemonFC | _goblin: The fact that it won't boot up or run well on most hardware may be a turnoff | Nov 20 02:52 |
sebsebseb | it said | Nov 20 02:52 |
DaemonFC | though wifi firmware shows promise | Nov 20 02:52 |
sebsebseb | [02:49] <sebsebseb> same here | Nov 20 02:53 |
DaemonFC | I think the more pragmatic goal is to get people off Windows by presenting them with something that works | Nov 20 02:53 |
_goblin | DaemonFC: 8.04 was pretty stable and on all hardware it was spot on for me...I deployed 8.04 on about 7 different friends machines. | Nov 20 02:53 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: yes UK | Nov 20 02:53 |
_goblin | nr London? | Nov 20 02:53 |
sebsebseb | no | Nov 20 02:54 |
_goblin | Im Bedfordshire | Nov 20 02:54 |
sebsebseb | ok not near me | Nov 20 02:54 |
_goblin | met quite a few people on Twitter from around my area. | Nov 20 02:54 |

sebsebseb | I need a change | Nov 20 02:55 |
sebsebseb | Debian nah | Nov 20 02:55 |
sebsebseb | not as a host | Nov 20 02:55 |
sebsebseb | I want a proper change | Nov 20 02:55 |
_goblin | I saw you were looking at Mandriva | Nov 20 02:55 |
sebsebseb | since I have used Ubuntu as my main OS since 2005 | Nov 20 02:55 |
_goblin | I was not impressed... | Nov 20 02:55 |
_goblin | (in Mandriva) | Nov 20 02:56 |
sebsebseb | and I started with Fedora Core 2 and 4 in 2004 | Nov 20 02:56 |
sebsebseb | oh and Fedora 11 I wanted as my host OS when 9.04 was out | Nov 20 02:56 |
sebsebseb | ,but | Nov 20 02:56 |
_goblin | I started with SUSE | Nov 20 02:56 |
sebsebseb | it woudn't like my partiton set up, the custom install. then the installer said about that some bug and to report | Nov 20 02:56 |
sebsebseb | maybe Fedora 12 will actsaully install and in that case maybe I will do that instead of Mandriva | Nov 20 02:56 |

_goblin | been using that for around 8 months. | Nov 20 02:57 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: that's uhmm Slackware based? | Nov 20 02:57 |

sebsebseb | as a above | Nov 20 03:01 |

Ender2070 | you dont even know what its really doing | Nov 20 04:51 |
DaemonFC | by not trusting Firefox, I mean it has a lot of exploits and malware out there targeting it now | Nov 20 04:52 |
DaemonFC | and a lot of them are theoretically cross platform | Nov 20 04:52 |

Ender2070 | ?? | Nov 20 05:01 |
DaemonFC | You can use Windows, which is clunky, slow, full of bugs, and insecure. You can use Linux, which is incompatible with at least 30% of the programs you use, documentation is sometimes leaving things to be desired, and problems while less frequent, are harder to fix. You can use a Mac, which is just weird. You can use "Chrome OS" and have a browser and nothing else. | Nov 20 05:02 |
DaemonFC | I see Ubuntu trying to answer the Linux flakiness by trying to dumb it down | Nov 20 05:03 |
Ender2070 | Linux is compatible with 100% of the apps I use | Nov 20 05:03 |
DaemonFC | remove anything that might confuse you instead of trying to properly document it | Nov 20 05:03 |
DaemonFC | instead of removing GIMP, why don't they just use that patch that gives it the all-in-one look of Photoshop? | Nov 20 05:04 |
Ender2070 | because they want to put in paint.mono | Nov 20 05:04 |
DaemonFC | they're taking away options, making it harder on users who need more than F-Spot can do but may be unaware that Gimp exists | Nov 20 05:04 |

schestowitz | cubezzz: do you need a CPU? | Nov 20 14:03 |
oiaohm | but they are a long way off from allowing true small scale production. | Nov 20 14:03 |
schestowitz | I guess hospitals need those | Nov 20 14:03 |
cubezzz | that is part of my job | Nov 20 14:03 |
schestowitz | What does the job produce? | Nov 20 14:04 |
cubezzz | schestowitz, as a computer consultant? Pretty much | Nov 20 14:04 |
oiaohm | Banking schestowitz. | Nov 20 14:04 |
cubezzz | we live in the 21st century, I'm not suggesting going Amish :) | Nov 20 14:04 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: you can trade without banks | Nov 20 14:04 |

schestowitz | oiaohm: that's why I said "in theory" | Nov 20 14:05 |
cubezzz | yes there are still barter systems | Nov 20 14:05 |
cubezzz | but money is simpler | Nov 20 14:05 |
schestowitz | Anarcho-primitivism is an ugly thing | Nov 20 14:05 |
oiaohm | Electronic money can move long range. | Nov 20 14:05 |

oiaohm | Where batter is a pain in the ass to do long range. | Nov 20 14:06 |
cubezzz | that is what Stallman did | Nov 20 14:06 |
schestowitz | Money is not an object | Nov 20 14:06 |
oiaohm | Data moves. | Nov 20 14:06 |
schestowitz | It's sometimes a piece of paper that says you can exchange it without something tangiable | Nov 20 14:06 |
schestowitz | Sometimes money is just some number in a computer (DB) somewhere | Nov 20 14:06 |
cubezzz | money is just crystallized effort | Nov 20 14:07 |
schestowitz | That number can also be used to play raffles with "Derivatives" and stuff to exchange with material things for no justification | Nov 20 14:07 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: go back to basics of money | Nov 20 14:07 |
schestowitz | For instance: | Nov 20 14:08 |
schestowitz | Some people's 401s went "poof" | Nov 20 14:08 |
schestowitz | It shows you it does not exist | Nov 20 14:08 |

schestowitz | But it's created from debt a lot of the time | Nov 20 14:10 |
oiaohm | Aztec coco bean money was funny. | Nov 20 14:10 |
schestowitz | The idea that some "GDP" can be sustained in the future | Nov 20 14:10 |
schestowitz | And it assumes the world is in infinite source for extraction (and infinitely large garbage can) | Nov 20 14:10 |
oiaohm | All money should be based on solid items stored. | Nov 20 14:10 |
schestowitz | Should | Nov 20 14:10 |
schestowitz | Not is | Nov 20 14:10 |
oiaohm | This debt based money brings nightmares from time to time. | Nov 20 14:11 |
oiaohm | Particularly if its unstable debt it been created from. | Nov 20 14:11 |
oiaohm | Ie subprime. | Nov 20 14:11 |

schestowitz | "When John D. Rockefeller was feared and famous as the master monopolist of American industry, he used to hand out shiny new dimes to the urchins gathered around him on the street. Most Americans were not charmed by this philanthropic gesture. Rockefeller became a living symbol of miserly indifference. Nor will Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, win much public affection for his charitable capitalism." | Nov 20 14:16 |
cubezzz | I keep seeing Ponzi, but there was someone worse than Ponzi I think | Nov 20 14:16 |

schestowitz | Power knows no limit | Nov 20 14:24 |
schestowitz | Basically, they can also use the US military as control vehicle | Nov 20 14:24 |
-BNc/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] Now that #Google uses #Debian for its OS maybe they ought to make a donation | Nov 20 14:25 | |

schestowitz | cubezzz: yes, they have it distributed | Nov 20 14:27 |
schestowitz | Same with Rothschild | Nov 20 14:27 |
cubezzz | I don't hear about the Rockefeller family much now | Nov 20 14:27 |
schestowitz | So no single person can be shown to possess huge wealth, also because they keep it secret | Nov 20 14:27 |
schestowitz | cubezzz: yes, they keep a low profile | Nov 20 14:27 |
schestowitz | Gates is the opposite | Nov 20 14:27 |
schestowitz | His PR firms make a lot of noise | Nov 20 14:28 |

schestowitz | cubezzz: I think so | Nov 20 14:29 |
schestowitz | Depends how you measure and divide it | Nov 20 14:29 |
schestowitz | Forbes counts people | Nov 20 14:29 |
schestowitz | Not groups or families | Nov 20 14:29 |
cubezzz | schestowitz, Governors in the US are elected in gubernatorial elections | Nov 20 14:29 |
schestowitz | And it uses publicly-availiable figures | Nov 20 14:29 |
schestowitz | There are agencies that are good at sneaking into people's accounts and only estimating total wealth | Nov 20 14:29 |
schestowitz | It's not somthing the rich people tell them | Nov 20 14:30 |
schestowitz | They have this in each countries. They are like small research groups that pile up and update knowledge of assets each year | Nov 20 14:30 |
