| schestowitz | DaemonFC: monarchy is not functional | Jul 24 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz | It's ceremonial, like US presidency | Jul 24 00:00 |
| schestowitz | The US got itself a black-white spokesman | Jul 24 00:00 |
| DaemonFC | how much of your tax money is spent on the Queen's excesses? | Jul 24 00:00 |
| -BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] @schestowitz and this is exactly why we must have laws (however badly enforced sometimes) to protect data or IP. | Jul 24 00:00 | |
| schestowitz | But the US queen changes every 4 or 8 years | Jul 24 00:00 |
| schestowitz | Unless the Queen is caught in a scandal | Jul 24 00:00 |
| schestowitz | The last one that was impeached for it was also a alcoholic | Jul 24 00:00 |
| DaemonFC | Clinton? | Jul 24 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | Clinton was impeached | Jul 24 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | unless you refer to Andrew Jackson | Jul 24 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | who was also impeached | Jul 24 00:01 |
| schestowitz | Resigned prematurely | Jul 24 00:02 |
| schestowitz | Queen Nixon | Jul 24 00:02 |
| -BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] @_goblin see recent WordPress controversy. WP could buy the template and then legally share it | Jul 24 00:02 | |
| schestowitz | Run by gangsters like Kissinger | Jul 24 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | errr Johnson I mean | Jul 24 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | yes, there have been two impeachments in US history | Jul 24 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | but neither were removed from office | Jul 24 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | because the Senate did not convict | Jul 24 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | it's interesting because in an impeachment trial, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Senate | Jul 24 00:04 |
| DaemonFC | which is the only time that can happen | Jul 24 00:04 |

| ender2070 | yeah, the british empire is just going to give away all its land | Jul 24 00:05 |
| ender2070 | for the people! | Jul 24 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | there's a British Empire? | Jul 24 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | since when did that come back? | Jul 24 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 24 00:06 |
| ender2070 | it was renamed | Jul 24 00:06 |
| schestowitz | Princess Diana has many things called after here | Jul 24 00:06 |

| DaemonFC | Commonwealth of Independent States | Jul 24 00:06 |
| schestowitz | Some people sell t-shirts with her in Piccadilly Square | Jul 24 00:06 |
| ender2070 | see how his mind diverts the issue? | Jul 24 00:07 |
| ender2070 | people don't want it to be true | Jul 24 00:07 |
| ender2070 | but it is | Jul 24 00:07 |
| ender2070 | legally, and thats all it matters | Jul 24 00:07 |
| DaemonFC | ender2070: The United Nations Security Council shouldn't have permanent members | Jul 24 00:07 |
| DaemonFC | but the UK is probably the least qualified for such a position | Jul 24 00:07 |
| DaemonFC | of the current members | Jul 24 00:07 |
| schestowitz | So commonwealth is a sharing-esque euphemism? | Jul 24 00:08 |
| ender2070 | whats with all these royal charters being given to freemasonry and similar organizations? | Jul 24 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | I vote to replace the UK with the Empire of MinceRstan | Jul 24 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | ender2070: Will you second the motion? | Jul 24 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 24 00:08 |
| ender2070 | I dunno, do you really think these royal families who have ruled various empires just became the 'good guys' all of a sudden? | Jul 24 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | I prefer benevolent dictators | Jul 24 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | to monarchs | Jul 24 00:10 |
| ender2070 | 'we just gave away all our power, we can't really do much anymore' | Jul 24 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | at least they tell the truth about what they are | Jul 24 00:10 |
| ender2070 | how fucking stupid are people? | Jul 24 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | self-appointed, lifetime position | Jul 24 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | absolute power | Jul 24 00:10 |
| ender2070 | these would have to be the most retarded monarchs in history | Jul 24 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | ender2070: I dunno, you tend to sign things under sufficient duress that you wouldn't normally be predisposed to | Jul 24 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | :D | Jul 24 00:11 |
| -BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] @schestowitz Im not familiar with that, I will look into it. | Jul 24 00:11 | |
| ender2070 | lol | Jul 24 00:11 |
| ender2070 | marxist trudeau was apparently anti-monarch but did nothing to remove her power | Jul 24 00:12 |
| DaemonFC | hmmm, sign it and keep my position by title or get my head cut off? | Jul 24 00:12 |
| DaemonFC | decisions decisions | Jul 24 00:12 |
| ender2070 | thats hardly what happened in Canada | Jul 24 00:12 |
| ender2070 | we wrote the queen a letter explaining that the voting process here was corrupt and wanted changes | Jul 24 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | and did she bring you some CHANGE? | Jul 24 00:13 |
| ender2070 | yes | Jul 24 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | some HOPE maybe? | Jul 24 00:13 |
| ender2070 | 'responsible government' | Jul 24 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | some HOPE for a CHANGE? | Jul 24 00:13 |
| ender2070 | instead of having armed thugs beat people to death who didnt shout out the right candidate, we get lobbyists buying politicians | Jul 24 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | now when you say "responsible government", is it with a smirk? | Jul 24 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jul 24 00:14 |
| ender2070 | thats how democracy started here | Jul 24 00:14 |
| ender2070 | people would shout who they wanted | Jul 24 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | I vote for me! | Jul 24 00:15 |
| ender2070 | the candidate with the most money usually hired thugs to beat, err convince people he was the best candidate | Jul 24 00:15 |
| DaemonFC | actually, I have voted for myself before | Jul 24 00:15 |

| amarsh04 | cubeszzz3, do you do prelinking after installing packages/updates? | Jul 24 01:11 |
| amarsh04 | or is it run as a cron job? | Jul 24 01:11 |

| cubezzz3 | hmmm, i compiled KDE from source but I don't remember the exact details | Jul 24 01:14 |

| cubezzz3 | plus I have like a dozen time keepers in this room | Jul 24 01:38 |
| cubezzz3 | sebsebseb, nice and low memory, efficient | Jul 24 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | also Canonicals doesn't do weather like the Gnome one does | Jul 24 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | however some Ubuntu fan boys have been working on a weather applet | Jul 24 01:38 |
| cubezzz3 | sorry, rclock I should say | Jul 24 01:38 |
| cubezzz3 | programs get overly elaborate over time | Jul 24 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | what you mean overly elaborate over time? | Jul 24 01:39 |
| cubezzz3 | bloated | Jul 24 01:39 |
| cubezzz3 | with features you never even use | Jul 24 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | yeah I guess so, but mainly for commercial software | Jul 24 01:40 |
| cubezzz3 | even in FOSS... | Jul 24 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | Linux kernel is a bit bloated though, or so they say | Jul 24 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | I mean Linux kernel is bloated | Jul 24 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | thats what they seem to be saying | Jul 24 01:40 |
| cubezzz3 | it's true | Jul 24 01:41 |
| cubezzz3 | it gets bigger and bigger, unless you revert to an older kernel or compile one yourself | Jul 24 01:41 |
| cubezzz3 | do I need st or osst? | Jul 24 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | and KDE apps bloat as well | Jul 24 01:41 |
| cubezzz3 | of course not :) | Jul 24 01:41 |
| cubezzz3 | certainly | Jul 24 01:41 |
| cubezzz3 | sebsebseb, my first gui was on Amiga 500 | Jul 24 01:42 |
| cubezzz3 | you know how much memory I had? | Jul 24 01:42 |
| cubezzz3 | 512K :) | Jul 24 01:42 |
| cubezzz3 | now 2,000X the memory on some computers | Jul 24 01:43 |
| cubezzz3 | the point is, hardly anyone tries to be efficient | Jul 24 01:43 |
| cubezzz3 | hence we have bloat | Jul 24 01:44 |

| oiaohm | I was just in a warped mood. schestowitz | Jul 24 14:13 |
| Ziomatrix | schestowitz: Android has really done a good job wooing away what made the classic Palm OS iconic, from Docs2Go to Graffiti now | Jul 24 14:13 |
| oiaohm | The idea that a political site ends up filtered due to is name is funny. | Jul 24 14:13 |

| schestowitz | I know this party from one thing | Jul 24 14:14 |
| schestowitz | Some article I read about them working to make pr0n with squirting legal | Jul 24 14:14 |
| schestowitz | Australia has weird laws | Jul 24 14:14 |
| Ziomatrix | schestowitz: losing Graffiti is the result of the fallout between PalmSource (now ACCESS) and PalmOne (now Palm.inc, bought by HP) | Jul 24 14:14 |
| schestowitz | IIRC, women with small breasts are illegal pr0n there | Jul 24 14:15 |
| schestowitz | As if women who are less endowed are children or something | Jul 24 14:15 |

| Ziomatrix | oiaohm: sorry just refferencing some commercials Ausies made concerning Whale free beer | Jul 24 14:17 |
| schestowitz | It only gives them more exposure | Jul 24 14:17 |
| schestowitz | The sense of forbidden site draws in readers | Jul 24 14:17 |
| Ziomatrix | schestowitz: btw, whats ACCESS now? | Jul 24 14:17 |
| oiaohm | There is a catch Australia use be a large whale hunter than japan by the way Ziomatrix | Jul 24 14:18 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: it's stupid | Jul 24 14:18 |
| oiaohm | And were whale hunting before japan was. | Jul 24 14:18 |

| schestowitz | It's interesting how humans classify flowers/animals worthy of eating/killing | Jul 24 14:20 |
| schestowitz | Arbitrary at best | Jul 24 14:20 |
| oiaohm | Really if Australia though the whale population was fine for hunting we would most likely be killing some. | Jul 24 14:20 |
| oiaohm | though/believed | Jul 24 14:20 |
| Ziomatrix | schestowitz: lol well I can't agree with your assessment on ACCESS but the fact is its alive enough to sell its licensing rights to certain companies so they can provide Graffiti. This will definitely help give Android a leg up in Asian markets more then anywhere else. | Jul 24 14:21 |
| schestowitz | There are far too few fish left | Jul 24 14:21 |
| oiaohm | Problem is we have records of whale pod sizes going back to australia first usage. | Jul 24 14:21 |
| schestowitz | And too many humans relative to the size of the planet and their consumption | Jul 24 14:21 |
| schestowitz | I'm most afraid of fights over water and food | Jul 24 14:21 |
| oiaohm | And current day whale numbers are no where near the size they were. | Jul 24 14:21 |
| schestowitz | It'll lead to the next intl' war | Jul 24 14:22 |
| schestowitz | Probably nuclear | Jul 24 14:22 |
| schestowitz | ANd it's the worst way of reducing population size... nuclear winters and famine | Jul 24 14:22 |
| oiaohm | Also australia fish numbers are fairly well managed. | Jul 24 14:22 |
| schestowitz | Our politicians are too religious to prevent it | Jul 24 14:22 |
| oiaohm | So we are in no risk of running out any time soon. | Jul 24 14:22 |
| oiaohm | But there are fish that we are forbin from taking because there numbers are too low as well. | Jul 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | They can't understand that resources are finite and peak oil means we can no longer 'convert' finite fossil fuel (millions of Sun years) into food | Jul 24 14:23 |
| oiaohm | Ie Australian waters highly regulated. | Jul 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | Fuel for pesticides, fertilisers manufacturing, tractors, water conduits... | Jul 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | Unless some people learn about scalability there'll be another war in our lifetime | Jul 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: what about other countries? | Jul 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | Australia is not densely populated | Jul 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | See countries like India where they ALREADY have these problems | Jul 24 14:25 |
| schestowitz | They blame the climate too | Jul 24 14:25 |
| schestowitz | India won't start major war over this. Russia's population already declines. | Jul 24 14:25 |
| schestowitz | China's too | Jul 24 14:25 |
| oiaohm | we have major problems due to lack of densely | Jul 24 14:26 |
| schestowitz | But they might not have much food left unless they colonise more | Jul 24 14:26 |
| oiaohm | Also we have water limits. | Jul 24 14:26 |
| schestowitz | And they have underground cities and money to demand from the US | Jul 24 14:26 |

| cubezzz3 | the first MMU for PC might be interesting to know | Jul 24 22:33 |
| cubezzz3 | was Intel first, or Motorla? | Jul 24 22:34 |
| cubezzz3 | Motorola | Jul 24 22:35 |
| *Wulf-is-not-here is now known as WireWulf | Jul 24 22:39 | |
| cubezzz3 | maybe tessier would know | Jul 24 22:39 |
| cubezzz3 | Sun 1 was probably first, but I imagine it was very expensive | Jul 24 22:40 |
| cubezzz3 | MMU was part of the motherboard | Jul 24 22:40 |
| cubezzz3 | 1982 | Jul 24 22:42 |
| cubezzz3 | in 1982 all I had was Commodore PET :) | Jul 24 22:42 |
| cubezzz3 | that's going way back | Jul 24 22:42 |

| cubezzz3 | that's hardly a PC :) | Jul 24 22:44 |
| WireWulf | cubezzz3: thats the question | Jul 24 22:44 |
| cubezzz3 | I want to actually have one in my computer room | Jul 24 22:44 |
| WireWulf | my i486 is hardly a pc | Jul 24 22:45 |
| cubezzz3 | ah, come on now | Jul 24 22:45 |
| WireWulf | however i can do my taxes on it xD | Jul 24 22:45 |
| cubezzz3 | does it have an MMU? If it does, it counts as a PC | Jul 24 22:45 |
| WireWulf | cubezzz3: i dunno it is pre p1 tho | Jul 24 22:45 |
| WireWulf | so probly not | Jul 24 22:46 |
| cubezzz3 | WireWulf, you could even run X on it | Jul 24 22:46 |
| cubezzz3 | even SLC could | Jul 24 22:46 |
| WireWulf | blah i dislike X | Jul 24 22:46 |
| cubezzz3 | why not? | Jul 24 22:47 |
| WireWulf | GUIs are abit over rated | Jul 24 22:47 |
| WireWulf | i am more for speed | Jul 24 22:47 |
| cubezzz3 | sure, me too | Jul 24 22:47 |
| cubezzz3 | still one needs a GUI sometimes | Jul 24 22:48 |
| WireWulf | + a totally KB controled computer is better for you hand health | Jul 24 22:48 |
| cubezzz3 | WireWulf, one thing I do is switch hands | Jul 24 22:48 |
| cubezzz3 | alternate left and right | Jul 24 22:48 |
| WireWulf | i dont use a mouse | Jul 24 22:48 |
| WireWulf | and a split kb | Jul 24 22:49 |
| cubezzz3 | you can use icewm without a mouse | Jul 24 22:49 |
| WireWulf | i could use evilwm or sithwm also | Jul 24 22:49 |
| cubezzz3 | so what are you doing then, just running Linux without X? | Jul 24 22:49 |
| WireWulf | yup | Jul 24 22:50 |
| WireWulf | tho atm i am playing with out of boredom CYGWIN in nt 6.1 | Jul 24 22:50 |
| cubezzz3 | how about using a trackball instead of a mouse? | Jul 24 22:51 |
| cubezzz3 | would that be acceptable to you? | Jul 24 22:51 |
| WireWulf | laziness | Jul 24 22:52 |
| WireWulf | cubezzz3: the thing is linux is about freedom run it how you want to | Jul 24 22:52 |
| MinceR | PCs existed without an MMU, though :> | Jul 24 22:52 |
| MinceR | (afaik they didn't have one before the 286 or the 386) | Jul 24 22:53 |
| cubezzz3 | yes, there was Xenix for 8086 and Venix | Jul 24 22:53 |
| WireWulf | some earily 385's did have it | Jul 24 22:53 |
| cubezzz3 | Unix without MMU | Jul 24 22:54 |
| cubezzz3 | which is hardly ideal | Jul 24 22:54 |
| WireWulf | *didnt | Jul 24 22:54 |
| cubezzz3 | Venix was about $400 :) | Jul 24 22:54 |
| WireWulf | unix can work on damne near anything | Jul 24 22:54 |
| cubezzz3 | ok, I bet Sun 1's are rare | Jul 24 22:55 |
| WireWulf | today or in the 80's? | Jul 24 22:56 |
| cubezzz3 | today | Jul 24 22:56 |
| WireWulf | yeah | Jul 24 22:57 |
| cubezzz3 | I've wanted a Sun box for a while | Jul 24 22:57 |
| cubezzz3 | just can't find any good deals | Jul 24 22:57 |
| WireWulf | however be the laws of tech a MMU naybe outdated by 1 month from now | Jul 24 22:57 |
| cubezzz3 | in the 80's .... mostly I used Unix System V | Jul 24 22:59 |
| cubezzz3 | didn't even like it that much back then | Jul 24 22:59 |
| cubezzz3 | didn't have the good stuff | Jul 24 23:00 |
| cubezzz3 | no X, just curses | Jul 24 23:00 |
| WireWulf | in the 80's i wasnt even live then :P | Jul 24 23:00 |
| cubezzz3 | you would have been right at home WireWulf :) | Jul 24 23:00 |
| WireWulf | cubezzz3: most likly | Jul 24 23:01 |
| cubezzz3 | except we started testing Windows 2.0 | Jul 24 23:01 |
| cubezzz3 | turtle slow, no one liked it | Jul 24 23:01 |
| WireWulf | win 3.1 maybe win 3.11 was the only ones i liked | Jul 24 23:02 |
| cubezzz3 | by the late 80's Waterloo had Sun4's | Jul 24 23:03 |
| cubezzz3 | I thought it was great, way better than all the consumer stuff | Jul 24 23:03 |
| cubezzz3 | still did some things that Linux doesn't have, even to this day | Jul 24 23:04 |
| WireWulf | mm | Jul 24 23:05 |
| WireWulf | linuxx can have anything tho | Jul 24 23:05 |
| WireWulf | all there has to be is a coder understand it | Jul 24 23:05 |
| WireWulf | and want it | Jul 24 23:05 |
| cubezzz3 | yes | Jul 24 23:05 |
| cubezzz3 | but back in the 80's Sun4 was pretty nice :) | Jul 24 23:06 |
| WireWulf | i bet | Jul 24 23:06 |
| cubezzz3 | WireWulf, some Sun4's could handle up to 128 megs of ram | Jul 24 23:08 |
| cubezzz3 | even more in some models | Jul 24 23:08 |
