sebsebseb | DaemonFC: so you make themes? | Mar 05 00:00 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: yeah la Ora for Ubuntu would be nice | Mar 05 00:00 |
ianto | What I don't get is why they say the new theme is "inspired by light" when it is in fact rather dark to my eyes | Mar 05 00:00 |
DaemonFC | no | Mar 05 00:00 |
DaemonFC | I could probably build and package it again if I wanted to | Mar 05 00:00 |
DaemonFC | stuff it in that empty PPA of mine | Mar 05 00:00 |
sebsebseb | ianto: I guess they mean the background, but loads of people will change that | Mar 05 00:00 |
sebsebseb | ianto: so then they are left with a black theme, unless they change that as well | Mar 05 00:01 |
bruce89 | does it really matter that much? | Mar 05 00:01 |

sebsebseb | bruce89: to be honest when I think about it, I really am starting to understand why some people want Ubuntu to look like XP for example, and no not just because that's what they are familuar with | Mar 05 00:02 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, Ubuntu's music store hides the WMA crap and funds Ubuntu. Two reasons to use it vs. the 7digital store directly. | Mar 05 00:02 |
*ender2070 (~ender2070@bas1-toronto12-1128666965.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #boycottnovell | Mar 05 00:02 | |
DaemonFC | last thing you want is WMA by accident, lol | Mar 05 00:02 |
*bruce89 uses clearlooks glossy with dark background and blue selections | Mar 05 00:02 | |
sebsebseb | bruce89: ,but because XP's theme is nicer looking than Ubuntu's | Mar 05 00:03 |
*sebsebseb finds most propritary software to be great when it comes to graphics | Mar 05 00:03 | |
DaemonFC | in other media players, it can be easy to get WMA by mistake | Mar 05 00:03 |
sebsebseb | in a way Microsoft are more of a computer graphics design company, than a software company, when it comes to what is good that they do | Mar 05 00:03 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, sebsebseb also noted that they are adding FLACs, which no other store has that I know of | Mar 05 00:04 |
DaemonFC | hopefully that continues | Mar 05 00:04 |
ianto | sebsebseb: I know of very few people who like teh default Windows themes | Mar 05 00:04 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: that's nice, however I am not planning on buying music from the store | Mar 05 00:04 |
DaemonFC | I would if there was more FLAC selections | Mar 05 00:04 |
ianto | In fact the only person who I know who likes a default Windows theme is myself, Windows Classic | Mar 05 00:04 |
sebsebseb | ianto: I probably mean backgrounds mainly when I put stuff like that, Windows comes with great backgrounds and such | Mar 05 00:04 |
DaemonFC | I don't want to buy lossy formats and MP3 especially | Mar 05 00:05 |
ianto | sebsebseb: Windows backgrounds are hardly "great" | Mar 05 00:05 |
sebsebseb | ianto: Windows classic with a 3rd party theme, I know which one, can be pretty nice indeed | Mar 05 00:05 |
*bruce89 sighs | Mar 05 00:05 | |
sebsebseb | ianto: they are better than the junk, that Ubuntu is coming with by default | Mar 05 00:05 |
sebsebseb | in later releases's | Mar 05 00:05 |
sebsebseb | 8.10 is the last release, to have a rather nice default background | Mar 05 00:05 |
ianto | You mean the default GNOME backgrounds like the grasss picture which I am rather fond of? | Mar 05 00:05 |
sebsebseb | ianto: grass uhmm | Mar 05 00:06 |
sebsebseb | just checked the vm | Mar 05 00:06 |
sebsebseb | well | Mar 05 00:06 |
sebsebseb | that one sucks | Mar 05 00:06 |
sebsebseb | however | Mar 05 00:06 |
sebsebseb | there's a nice one of a fieled with a blue skyh | Mar 05 00:06 |
sebsebseb | which seems to be a Gnome background, because you can get it from the Ubuntu repo as well | Mar 05 00:07 |
sebsebseb | and it's here in Mandriva, that's what I am using at the moment, I really like that background | Mar 05 00:07 |
sebsebseb | used it for quite a while now in Gnome on here | Mar 05 00:07 |

Chips_B_Malroy | Maybe this is a good time to ask this question, since Jono is here. anybody think the same thing that is happening to Novell can happen to Canonical and Ubuntu? The buyout. | Mar 05 02:09 |
shreddar | Yeah, I heard Google might buy Canonical. | Mar 05 02:10 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Google would be good for Canonical is my take. | Mar 05 02:10 |
MinceR | buyout can happen to most public companies :> | Mar 05 02:10 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Not that Mark was not great for it. | Mar 05 02:10 |
shreddar | Although I doubt the owner would allow a Vulture fund like scenario though. | Mar 05 02:11 |
MinceR | maybe google would beat the mono out of canonical? | Mar 05 02:11 |
jono | Chips_B_Malroy, it couldnt happen, Canonical is privately owned | Mar 05 02:11 |
jono | Novell have a fiduciary duty to do the best thing for it's shareholders | Mar 05 02:11 |
jono | we don't have any shareholders :) | Mar 05 02:11 |
Chips_B_Malroy | MinceR> that would probably be a nice side benefit of Google buying it. | Mar 05 02:12 |
jono | the only thing that could cause us to be sold is if Mark wanted us to | Mar 05 02:12 |

jono | hey ch | Mar 05 02:12 |
jono | hey Chips_B_Malroy | Mar 05 02:12 |

shreddar | iBuntu | Mar 05 02:15 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Jono> if Mark owns enough stock to keep the vultures out, then thats a good thing. Google, might be a good sale though, as they would have even more money to promote Ubuntu, than even Mark did. | Mar 05 02:15 |
jono | Chips_B_Malroy, Mark owns all the stock, he is our angel investor | Mar 05 02:15 |

Chips_B_Malroy | jono> but I think we could agree, that Google would be better off to "try" and buy Ubuntu from Mark, than to bid on Novell. After all, doesn't Google use Ubuntu, although modified. And isn't Android/ChromeOS based on modified Ubuntu? | Mar 05 02:29 |
bruce89 | no | Mar 05 02:30 |
jono | Chips_B_Malroy, the Google/Novell thing would be a surprise to me | Mar 05 02:30 |

jono | but shit happens | Mar 05 02:30 |
bruce89 | all I know of ChromeOS is it uses portage | Mar 05 02:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | MincrR> not? then based on upstream Debian maybe? | Mar 05 02:30 |

Chips_B_Malroy | modified, either Ubuntu or Debian kernel I am thinking | Mar 05 02:32 |
MinceR | and chromeos is based on ubuntu, and afaik they might use apt/dpkg to put it together, but probably don't offer it to the user | Mar 05 02:32 |

Diablo-D3 | I said this | Mar 05 03:09 |
Diablo-D3 | 6 months after ubuntu came into being | Mar 05 03:09 |
sebsebseb | oh? | Mar 05 03:09 |
Diablo-D3 | schestowitz: its funny though, bill gates does actually have many of the answers in his head | Mar 05 03:10 |
Diablo-D3 | schestowitz: he just doesnt know how to do it without being all rich guy about it | Mar 05 03:10 |
Diablo-D3 | its like, a subtle mental disorder | Mar 05 03:10 |
Diablo-D3 | I mean, more subtler than what he already has | Mar 05 03:10 |
*sebsebseb is starting to think that Windows is better than Ubuntu, except for the many security issues. Then of course other distros Mandriva and so on :) | Mar 05 03:10 | |
sebsebseb | oh yeah and of course having a rubbish default browser, that's something else bad about it, when it comes to Windows | Mar 05 03:11 |
sebsebseb | Diablo-D3: six months after Ubuntu you put said what exactly? | Mar 05 03:11 |
Diablo-D3 | sebsebseb: I said it was utter shit and was a cancer in the debian community | Mar 05 03:12 |
Diablo-D3 | its funny how it took everybody like 9000 years to realize I was right | Mar 05 03:12 |
sebsebseb | Diablo-D3: well 8.10 is the last properly good release, well ok ethernet woudn't work on the other computer | Mar 05 03:13 |
sebsebseb | woudn't just work on there, but other then that | Mar 05 03:13 |

ender2070 | windows isn't better than anything | Mar 05 03:15 |

sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: why phew, since it's not some new user that's being a moron? | Mar 05 03:22 |
DaemonFC | burninating = What happens when you get Gonorrhea? | Mar 05 03:22 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: my immediate reaction was relief that it was an old user. dunno why. | Mar 05 03:22 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: how are you likeing the pinkey/purple theme, I just seen the GDM | Mar 05 03:22 |
DaemonFC | haven't logged out yet | Mar 05 03:23 |

bruce89 | patience is a virtue | Mar 05 03:24 |
sebsebseb | bruce89: no it's been there over 24 hours apparantly | Mar 05 03:24 |
sebsebseb | bruce89: however I didn't get it | Mar 05 03:24 |
bruce89 | it's not as if it's life threatening the lack of a plymouth theme | Mar 05 03:24 |

bruce89 | it surprises me that you are interested at all | Mar 05 03:25 |
sebsebseb | bruce89: other computer is on Ubuntu 9.10 at the moment, when it boots it says Kubuntu is loading, and it uses KDM. Why since Xplash was a joke with the white Ubuntu logo in the centre of the screen. also I didn't like the GDM theme. Oh sure programs to change some stuff to do with those, but nope didn't want to do that. Anyway that one might end up Mandriva or some other distro later this year. | Mar 05 03:26 |
sebsebseb | bruce89: and I have probably told you stuff like this before | Mar 05 03:27 |
sebsebseb | well yeah I have | Mar 05 03:27 |
bruce89 | use what you like | Mar 05 03:28 |

sebsebseb | bruce89: however I am starting to think more like you these days, espesaily now with what I seen from Lucid, how it's probably not really a great thing, if Ubuntu gains a more proper market share say 10% | Mar 05 03:29 |
bruce89 | yes, so you keep saying | Mar 05 03:29 |
jweyrich | FurnaceBoy: sorry, someone called me here. | Mar 05 03:32 |
sebsebseb | bruce89: well at least the new GDM isn't so dark :) not the colours I would of gone for though for the background. | Mar 05 03:34 |
DaemonFC | I wonder if I should make a dummy package called "exboyfriend" that conflicts with package "libido" so that aptitude will offer to remove my libido entirely | Mar 05 03:34 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: remove what? | Mar 05 03:35 |
sebsebseb | what's libido? | Mar 05 03:35 |
Trogdor_the_burn | sounds like something a communist would say | Mar 05 03:35 |
DaemonFC | Ubuntu has a libido | Mar 05 03:35 |
DaemonFC | :P | Mar 05 03:35 |
bruce89 | libIDO, surely that must exist? | Mar 05 03:36 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz, Do you have any idea if AppArmor is dead upstream or if anything is being done other than individual distros making sure it still builds? | Mar 05 03:42 |

Chips_B_Malroy | Roy, since you still up. Jono was here, but I did not really want to put him on the spot for two reasons. First, I am sure he knows I am aggresive with those who support MS unfairly. But I do not go after other distro's of Linux, even some that I do not see eye to eye with. | Mar 05 05:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | the second reason, is he has a job there. I would not want to put that at risk. | Mar 05 05:04 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy, It's not like Ubuntu has gone further than other distros re Mono | Mar 05 05:05 |
DaemonFC | it's obviously not a good thing that they ship it, but they're not spamming it like Novell is | Mar 05 05:05 |
DaemonFC | you get as much Mono with Mandriva GNOME as you do in Ubuntu | Mar 05 05:05 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Being said, Ubuntu, is not for me. I will never, ever use MONO, or MOONBAT/moonlight, whatever its called | Mar 05 05:06 |
DaemonFC | Debian will be shipping Mono now too | Mar 05 05:06 |
DaemonFC | is what I heard anyway... | Mar 05 05:06 |
Chips_B_Malroy | MS lock in sucks | Mar 05 05:06 |
DaemonFC | so the Mono proliferation is getting worse, not better | Mar 05 05:06 |
jono | Chips_B_Malroy, jono is still here :) | Mar 05 05:06 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Debian has always shipped Mono | Mar 05 05:06 |
DaemonFC | jono is all places at all times | Mar 05 05:07 |

jono | lol, don't worry Chips_B_Malroy | Mar 05 05:07 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its as you said, if you do not like it, do not use it | Mar 05 05:07 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but, still I don't hate Ubuntu, its good | Mar 05 05:08 |

Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> what version was that? | Mar 05 05:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> what version was that??? | Mar 05 05:28 |
DaemonFC | 8.04 | Mar 05 05:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | that was when I wanted to stop following them, and I would have too | Mar 05 05:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but they had name reconizition just like M$ | Mar 05 05:29 |
Chips_B_Malroy | my brother had to have Ubuntu, name reconiizition thing | Mar 05 05:29 |
Chips_B_Malroy | np, learn it | Mar 05 05:30 |
DaemonFC | nothing wrong with name recognition | Mar 05 05:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but I will help you only so far as its like the distro I use | Mar 05 05:30 |
Diablo-D3 | ubuntu sucks | Mar 05 05:31 |
Diablo-D3 | use debian | Mar 05 05:31 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> do not get me wrong, Ubuntu, I do not hate, its just not me. I would use it if choice came between Ubuntu and others . | Mar 05 05:31 |
Chips_B_Malroy | But mostly, I would go with most other distros | Mar 05 05:32 |
Chips_B_Malroy | we must be careful with jono, he has a job to do | Mar 05 05:33 |
Chips_B_Malroy | no way I want to put him in danger of that | Mar 05 05:33 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Diablo-D3> yes, I agee, go with Debian | Mar 05 05:34 |
Chips_B_Malroy | *agree | Mar 05 05:34 |
Chips_B_Malroy | But Debian, has been always harder for complete newbs | Mar 05 05:34 |
Chips_B_Malroy | so a distro based on Debian first | Mar 05 05:35 |
Chips_B_Malroy | ? | Mar 05 05:35 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Sadly, Ubuntu morphed Debian into this weird thing | Mar 05 05:35 |
Chips_B_Malroy | is it good, well my brother thinks so. Lets see what DaemonFC has to say 6 weeks from now. Rather, lets see if he is still using it 6 weekes from now. | Mar 05 05:37 |
Diablo-D3 | does anyone give a fuck what DaemonFC is doing 6 weeks from now? | Mar 05 05:37 |
Diablo-D3 | or hell, now now? | Mar 05 05:37 |
DaemonFC | it's feature complete now | Mar 05 05:37 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I do | Mar 05 05:37 |
Diablo-D3 | dude, your mom is feature complete | Mar 05 05:37 |
Chips_B_Malroy | mostly he has some knownledge | Mar 05 05:38 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I respect that | Mar 05 05:38 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but at the same time, my distro (which is not perfect in some ways) does everything I ask it. and have no resason to change. Plus it is not infected with MONO/Moonlight, or Bing Krap | Mar 05 05:40 |
DaemonFC | Ubuntu doesn't have Moonlight | Mar 05 05:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | and, its has decent wallpaper! hehe | Mar 05 05:40 |
DaemonFC | it's in the repo though I think | Mar 05 05:41 |
DaemonFC | no codecs though so it's still useless until you get those | Mar 05 05:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> what is in the repo? | Mar 05 05:41 |
DaemonFC | the plug-in without the media codecs | Mar 05 05:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its in the multimedia(Debian) repo now nonfree as Debian finially figured out the patent problems, weill at least somewhat | Mar 05 05:42 |

Chips_B_Malroy | The thing about GNU/Linux has always been, Its like its about friends and neighbors helping out each other. Its not been so much about money. The four freedoms that Stallman had preached, yes. It goes beyond that my friends. | Mar 05 05:54 |

Chips_B_Malroy | Waren has his ulitities, his scripts, and his box to check to aprove the licenceing. But he has said (a long time ago) that he would open source it, But since Mepis, is not in the top five, and its not exactly making big bucks, it cost money to do the legal work. And Warren must have a full time job, making it harder to do this. Legal work costs money, | Mar 05 06:10 |

Chips_B_Malroy | are you familar with western USA? | Mar 05 06:34 |
cubezzz | not really, only vaguely | Mar 05 06:35 |

Chips_B_Malroy | lot of empty spaces and driving | Mar 05 06:35 |
cubezzz | Canada has lots of empty space | Mar 05 06:36 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but this "recession" started with almost $5 a gallon fuel prices here. More by you. | Mar 05 06:36 |

Chips_B_Malroy | summertime | Mar 05 06:38 |
cubezzz | it's about $3.62 per gallon | Mar 05 06:39 |
Chips_B_Malroy | price of fuel was what cause this depression | Mar 05 06:39 |
Chips_B_Malroy | bottom line | Mar 05 06:39 |
cubezzz | Chips_B_Malroy, I found I save a lot by not running a car | Mar 05 06:39 |
Chips_B_Malroy | those on the edge, that had to drive to jobs a bit far | Mar 05 06:39 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its not about that cubezzz | Mar 05 06:39 |
cubezzz | and I do some jobs over the net now | Mar 05 06:39 |
cubezzz | yeah we got to stop burning fossils :) | Mar 05 06:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I know what u talking, long term, but I talking what caused this depression | Mar 05 06:40 |
*jweyrich has quit (Quit: d'oh) | Mar 05 06:40 | |
cubezzz | the banks I think | Mar 05 06:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | no, the price of gas | Mar 05 06:40 |
cubezzz | Chevy has the volt now | Mar 05 06:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | was the first straw that broke the camels back | Mar 05 06:41 |
cubezzz | of course the price of gas is high but... | Mar 05 06:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | people here could not afford $5 a gallon | Mar 05 06:41 |
cubezzz | it's old tech, we shouldn't be SO dependent on gasoline | Mar 05 06:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | take anothe r$20 a week out of someone paycheck | Mar 05 06:41 |
cubezzz | sometimes I cab to work, it costs about $8 | Mar 05 06:42 |
Chips_B_Malroy | well I agree with you, but | Mar 05 06:42 |
cubezzz | I can walk for free :) | Mar 05 06:42 |
Chips_B_Malroy | not everyone is good with money | Mar 05 06:42 |
Chips_B_Malroy | is my point | Mar 05 06:42 |
cubezzz | now that I'm older I'm a lot more careful | Mar 05 06:42 |
Chips_B_Malroy | those who are not, fail first | Mar 05 06:42 |
Chips_B_Malroy | would you not agree? | Mar 05 06:42 |
cubezzz | I used to spent way too much on eating out | Mar 05 06:43 |
cubezzz | yeah, but people learn by experience | Mar 05 06:43 |
cubezzz | you can live on less | Mar 05 06:43 |
Chips_B_Malroy | not everyone | Mar 05 06:43 |
DaemonFC | not always | Mar 05 06:43 |
DaemonFC | yeah | Mar 05 06:43 |
cubezzz | for example, I buy a lot of dry goods | Mar 05 06:44 |
cubezzz | it lasts a lot time, and it's easy to cook | Mar 05 06:44 |
cubezzz | I don't buy $5 hot chocolates from Starbucks :) | Mar 05 06:44 |
cubezzz | people are too materialist | Mar 05 06:45 |
cubezzz | not happy unless they have tons of $$$ | Mar 05 06:45 |
cubezzz | even then... they still aren't really happy | Mar 05 06:45 |
Chips_B_Malroy | so this depression started with the price of gas being so high for a long time. then and only when the less capable, maxed out credit cards, defaulted on home loans, did this rescession start. It was caused by greed from oil companies and rich people, and cartels | Mar 05 06:45 |
cubezzz | people are overweight and driving around in cars all the time | Mar 05 06:46 |
cubezzz | it's time for a change :) | Mar 05 06:46 |
Chips_B_Malroy | you, cubezzz, are like most of us, better with your money | Mar 05 06:46 |
cubezzz | most people living in a major city can live without a car | Mar 05 06:47 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I walk mostly, or ride a bike | Mar 05 06:47 |
cubezzz | excellent :) | Mar 05 06:47 |
Chips_B_Malroy | for exercise | Mar 05 06:47 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but that is beside the point, the point was what caused this depression | Mar 05 06:47 |
Chips_B_Malroy | something had to push the marginal over the edge | Mar 05 06:48 |
cubezzz | well... | Mar 05 06:48 |
Chips_B_Malroy | it was the price of gas | Mar 05 06:48 |
Chips_B_Malroy | took awhile but go there | Mar 05 06:48 |
cubezzz | you may want to study the Great Depression | Mar 05 06:48 |
Chips_B_Malroy | i have | Mar 05 06:48 |
cubezzz | there are some similarities to the current situation | Mar 05 06:48 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but consider this | Mar 05 06:49 |
Chips_B_Malroy | yes | Mar 05 06:49 |
Chips_B_Malroy | the underlieing causes of this depression are not the banks | Mar 05 06:49 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but the price of fuel | Mar 05 06:49 |
cubezzz | eventually 1873–96 was also a Depression | Mar 05 06:49 |
cubezzz | and no cars :) | Mar 05 06:50 |
Chips_B_Malroy | and as soon as the economy recovers, if it does, greed will too | Mar 05 06:50 |
cubezzz | all the more reason to avoid the car more | Mar 05 06:50 |
Chips_B_Malroy | yes, fossel fuels will run out, But that is also a load of short term BS as well | Mar 05 06:50 |

cubezzz | well, if we go by 1970's prices and adjust for inflation it would be around $2 per gallon | Mar 05 07:05 |
cubezzz | seems reasonable | Mar 05 07:05 |
*DaemonFC has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Mar 05 07:06 | |
cubezzz | if you go back to the 1920's prices and adjust for inflation the price would be $3 per gallon | Mar 05 07:06 |
Chips_B_Malroy | If it was truely a free market, I would say $1.00 a gallon, about up to 70 cents of that here in taxes. But its not. In the middle of the worst depresssion since 1927 fuel prices are $2.61 a gallon here. Monopolies, raiders, blame whoever, but its greed. do the green thing later, Which btw I agreee with you on that, conserving. | Mar 05 07:06 |
cubezzz | then for some reason the price spiked up after 2003 | Mar 05 07:06 |
*DaemonFC (~ryan@c-69-245-224-113.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined #boycottnovell | Mar 05 07:06 | |
Chips_B_Malroy | greed | Mar 05 07:07 |
cubezzz | well the easy to find gas is decreasing | Mar 05 07:07 |
Chips_B_Malroy | oil companies reeping massive profits | Mar 05 07:07 |
cubezzz | that's not about greed, it's just harder to find | Mar 05 07:07 |
Chips_B_Malroy | cartel countries as well, but poor in those countries getting poorer | Mar 05 07:08 |
Chips_B_Malroy | the rich gettting richer | Mar 05 07:08 |
Chips_B_Malroy | the Icahn/Singer/ Gates/Ballmer types | Mar 05 07:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | users/abusers | Mar 05 07:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | exploiters | Mar 05 07:09 |
cubezzz | yeah greed is probably the single biggest problem of humans | Mar 05 07:09 |
cubezzz | people who have tons of money and still wanting more | Mar 05 07:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | thank you for agreeing | Mar 05 07:09 |
DaemonFC | uggh | Mar 05 07:09 |
cubezzz | it's not rational | Mar 05 07:09 |
DaemonFC | they switched the maximize minimize buttons for no reason? | Mar 05 07:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its all about the oil, its all about the software, its all about the music | Mar 05 07:10 |
Chips_B_Malroy | follow the money first | Mar 05 07:10 |
Chips_B_Malroy | the media lies, constantly | Mar 05 07:11 |
cubezzz | I feel software is something I can do something about | Mar 05 07:11 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but now, they have crushed the middle class. | Mar 05 07:11 |
cubezzz | the price of gas, price of food, I have very limited control | Mar 05 07:12 |
Chips_B_Malroy | their greed became too much | Mar 05 07:12 |
Chips_B_Malroy | you too? | Mar 05 07:12 |
cubezzz | I've become a smarter shopper though | Mar 05 07:12 |
cubezzz | so I have _some_ control | Mar 05 07:12 |
Chips_B_Malroy | and they have less to squeeze | Mar 05 07:12 |
Chips_B_Malroy | watch MS start to go after more on more | Mar 05 07:13 |
Chips_B_Malroy | greed knows no bounds ( a clich from somehwhere) | Mar 05 07:13 |
DaemonFC | THEY SWITCHED the minimize/maximize buttons! | Mar 05 07:14 |
DaemonFC | For no reason! | Mar 05 07:15 |
Chips_B_Malroy | cubezzz> you right, we can do something about software, run GNIU | Mar 05 07:15 |
Chips_B_Malroy | *GN | Mar 05 07:15 |
Chips_B_Malroy | U | Mar 05 07:15 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Wow, DaemonFC, you still runing Ubuntu, after all this time, I impressed. how many hours now? | Mar 05 07:16 |
Diablo-D3 | URRAAAAAARGH | Mar 05 07:16 |
*Diablo-D3 diablosmashes. | Mar 05 07:16 | |
Chips_B_Malroy | mostly it never found all the hardware for me | Mar 05 07:16 |
DaemonFC | they used a gconf setting to do this | Mar 05 07:17 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but it got better with the hardware, (thanks to Linux and the kernel team) | Mar 05 07:17 |
DaemonFC | I edited it to minimize,maximize,close | Mar 05 07:18 |
DaemonFC | they have it set maximize,minimize,close | Mar 05 07:18 |
DaemonFC | which is fucktarded | Mar 05 07:18 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I give yo usix weeks, max | Mar 05 07:18 |
Diablo-D3 | so its... | Mar 05 07:18 |
Diablo-D3 | osx? | Mar 05 07:18 |
DaemonFC | totally completely fucktarded | Mar 05 07:18 |
Chips_B_Malroy | he lasted what, four on Seven? | Mar 05 07:18 |
Chips_B_Malroy | which truely truely suxed | Mar 05 07:19 |
Chips_B_Malroy | so how is Bing, whoops, I mean Yahoo? | Mar 05 07:19 |
Chips_B_Malroy | No, its the same thing, isn't it. | Mar 05 07:20 |
Diablo-D3 | yeah basically | Mar 05 07:20 |
Diablo-D3 | Chips_B_Malroy: actually its funny | Mar 05 07:20 |
Diablo-D3 | bing uses yahoo, the search engine | Mar 05 07:20 |
Diablo-D3 | yahoo fills requests using bing | Mar 05 07:20 |
Diablo-D3 | so its.... some sort of shit sandwich, filled with fail and aids. | Mar 05 07:21 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Diaio-D3> as for the morph Yahoo/Bing/MSN/Kumoo/Whatever/MSRETARDEDNAME its just a differnet name. | Mar 05 07:22 |
Chips_B_Malroy | the name was change to protect the guilty (MS/Gates/Ballmer) | Mar 05 07:23 |
Chips_B_Malroy | scumbags all | Mar 05 07:23 |
Chips_B_Malroy | with their raider friends | Mar 05 07:23 |
Diablo-D3 | Chips_B_Malroy: its not a name change | Mar 05 07:23 |
Diablo-D3 | bing doesnt use the msn engine | Mar 05 07:23 |
Diablo-D3 | it uses the yahoo engine | Mar 05 07:24 |
Diablo-D3 | because the msn engine was so entirely shit | Mar 05 07:24 |
Chips_B_Malroy | as in? its not Bing whatever underneath? | Mar 05 07:24 |
Diablo-D3 | msn changed it's name to bing | Mar 05 07:24 |
Diablo-D3 | and then they dropped msn's own engine for yahoo's instead | Mar 05 07:24 |
DaemonFC | "they should render fonts backwards too to enhance readability" | Mar 05 07:25 |
DaemonFC | me in the #ubuntu-devel room | Mar 05 07:25 |
Diablo-D3 | DaemonFC: hey thats a great idea | Mar 05 07:25 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I so confused, but isn't that what M$ wants to confuse us? and make us thing this is a completely new search engine from the "Ground up."? | Mar 05 07:25 |
*Diablo-D3 turns that on | Mar 05 07:25 | |
Diablo-D3 | Chips_B_Malroy: they did make one from the ground up | Mar 05 07:25 |
Diablo-D3 | that was msn | Mar 05 07:25 |
Diablo-D3 | it was a complete and utter failure | Mar 05 07:26 |
Diablo-D3 | so they just used yahoo's instead | Mar 05 07:26 |
Chips_B_Malroy | *think | Mar 05 07:26 |
Chips_B_Malroy | you mean MSN and Bing and Windows Live and now Yanghoo, is not the same thing? | Mar 05 07:27 |
Diablo-D3 | Chips_B_Malroy: lets try this again | Mar 05 07:27 |
Chips_B_Malroy | oh, its not Yanghoo anymore, he left | Mar 05 07:27 |
Diablo-D3 | MSN-site because bing-site | Mar 05 07:27 |
Diablo-D3 | so bing-site used msn-engine | Mar 05 07:27 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I so confused | Mar 05 07:27 |
Diablo-D3 | but msn-engine sucked, so bing-site uses yahoo-engine | Mar 05 07:27 |
Chips_B_Malroy | that makes it MSn right? | Mar 05 07:28 |
Diablo-D3 | and now yahoo-site just returns results from bing-site | Mar 05 07:28 |
Diablo-D3 | Chips_B_Malroy: no, it means msn is quite dead. | Mar 05 07:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | no its not yahoo engine | Mar 05 07:28 |
Diablo-D3 | yup, its the yahoo engine | Mar 05 07:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its ms | Mar 05 07:28 |
Diablo-D3 | microsoft and yahoo covered it both up. | Mar 05 07:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | wrong | Mar 05 07:28 |
Diablo-D3 | yup, trust me on this | Mar 05 07:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | wrong | Mar 05 07:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | it ms | Mar 05 07:29 |
Chips_B_Malroy | read the terms again | Mar 05 07:29 |
Diablo-D3 | nope, trust me | Mar 05 07:29 |
Diablo-D3 | its very much yahoo's engine | Mar 05 07:29 |
Diablo-D3 | its not yahoo's dataset, and microsoft has really customized how the results work | Mar 05 07:29 |
Chips_B_Malroy | you right, it shobrianuld have been yahoo search engine if Ballmer had had a | Mar 05 07:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | brian | Mar 05 07:30 |
Diablo-D3 | english please | Mar 05 07:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | brain | Mar 05 07:30 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but its really really ms MSN/Windows Live/Bing behind Yahoo | Mar 05 07:31 |
Chips_B_Malroy | you can check it out | Mar 05 07:31 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Ballmer is about control, just like master he learned from | Mar 05 07:32 |
Chips_B_Malroy | MS kept the Yahoo name, well, how about because Yahoo search still got some respect | Mar 05 07:33 |
Diablo-D3 | nope | Mar 05 07:33 |
Chips_B_Malroy | it wasn't as good as google, but it was honest | Mar 05 07:33 |
Diablo-D3 | they actually covered up yahoo involvement | Mar 05 07:33 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[daemonfc] #jonobacon What's with the incorrect minimize/maximize order? That's not going to go over well. Will Lucid render fonts backward too? | Mar 05 07:33 | |
Chips_B_Malroy | they tried | Mar 05 07:33 |
Diablo-D3 | they tried, yes | Mar 05 07:34 |
Diablo-D3 | but you fell for it | Mar 05 07:34 |
Diablo-D3 | hook line and sinker | Mar 05 07:34 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> I for one be glad when you move on to other distro. But truely, you time with Windows was mostl annoining. More for you I would imagine. | Mar 05 07:35 |
DaemonFC | yeah, well what enabled me to switch back was a pulseaudio patch actually | Mar 05 07:36 |
DaemonFC | something I couldn't do without pulseaudio, but pulseaudio wasn't doing it right | Mar 05 07:36 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> your pics, I seen, Ubuntu desktop looks clean as always | Mar 05 07:36 |
Diablo-D3 | ^ proof DaemonFC is a nutjob | Mar 05 07:36 |
DaemonFC | what is? | Mar 05 07:37 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Diablo-D3> not really, this guy knows stuff | Mar 05 07:37 |
Chips_B_Malroy | as do you | Mar 05 07:37 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I respect knownledge | Mar 05 07:37 |
Diablo-D3 | he likes pulseaudio | Mar 05 07:38 |
*Diablo-D3 wont have the shit on his machine | Mar 05 07:38 | |
Chips_B_Malroy | from both of you | Mar 05 07:38 |
Chips_B_Malroy | my opinion is, I am willing to listen, if he doesn'ttry to sell me on Gatesware | Mar 05 07:39 |
Chips_B_Malroy | once he crosses that line, I am out of here, mostly | Mar 05 07:39 |
Diablo-D3 | Chips_B_Malroy: DUDE | Mar 05 07:39 |
Diablo-D3 | WINDOWS 7 IS SO AWESOME | Mar 05 07:40 |
Diablo-D3 | LIKE, I OPENED THE BOX | Mar 05 07:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | mostly i think he has learned | Mar 05 07:40 |
Diablo-D3 | AND A WOMAN POPPED OUT | Mar 05 07:40 |
Diablo-D3 | AND SHE IMMEDIATELY STARTED SUCKING MY DICK | Mar 05 07:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | hehe | Mar 05 07:40 |
Diablo-D3 | THATS HOW AWESOME 7 IS | Mar 05 07:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | well, Seven does sux | Mar 05 07:40 |
Diablo-D3 | UGGGH SHE CAN SUCK THE CHROME OFF A MUFFLER | Mar 05 07:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | to be honest | Mar 05 07:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I stopped at XP | Mar 05 07:41 |
Diablo-D3 | now, only if she could suck the chrome off a google | Mar 05 07:41 |
Diablo-D3 | doooohohohohohohohohoho | Mar 05 07:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but I continued to fix computers including Vista | Mar 05 07:41 |

Chips_B_Malroy | how many problems you have, how easy it is to setup? | Mar 05 07:58 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> I do believe you | Mar 05 07:59 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but lets wait awhile | Mar 05 07:59 |
DaemonFC | Avant really does do a good job filling in for the OS X dock | Mar 05 07:59 |
Chips_B_Malroy | barring any free laptops from Jono, hehe, just a joke, we both know they would not do that. | Mar 05 08:00 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy, Not hard | Mar 05 08:00 |
Chips_B_Malroy | But MS would! | Mar 05 08:00 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Again, i believe you, as I know this already | Mar 05 08:01 |
Chips_B_Malroy | most of the distro's have all got a lot easier lately | Mar 05 08:01 |
Chips_B_Malroy | they easier than windows | Mar 05 08:01 |

Chips_B_Malroy | truth is, all windows users are scared to death of malware | Mar 05 08:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | as they should be | Mar 05 08:05 |
Chips_B_Malroy | But Bill, he doesn't care, as he sits back in one of his mansions, probably running a MAC | Mar 05 08:06 |
Chips_B_Malroy | every seen some of the early vids of Gates with Macs in the background? | Mar 05 08:07 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Its not that Macs are better than Linux(they are not!) its that MS was not better than Mac back then | Mar 05 08:08 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I really doubt that Gates or most MS personal uses Windows Seven or Vista | Mar 05 08:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | one out off two? malware? well a couple of years ago, I posted links that 80% of windows users were infected | Mar 05 08:11 |

DaemonFC | hmmm | Mar 05 08:39 |
Diablo-D3 | and most likely, the wince ones will only sell in asia | Mar 05 08:39 |
Diablo-D3 | and thats most likely why they exist | Mar 05 08:39 |
Diablo-D3 | android is huge in the US | Mar 05 08:39 |
Diablo-D3 | its "bigger" than linux (ie, most people dont realize its linux, etc etc) | Mar 05 08:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but, for me, I really, even hate to give MS even $5 | Mar 05 08:40 |
Diablo-D3 | Chips_B_Malroy: then dont buy the CE model | Mar 05 08:40 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its just not righ to feed them | Mar 05 08:40 |
Diablo-D3 | its no different then phones | Mar 05 08:40 |
Diablo-D3 | a lot of phones you can buy with winmo or android, or winmo and something else | Mar 05 08:40 |
Diablo-D3 | dont like microsoft? dont buy the winmo version. | Mar 05 08:41 |

Chips_B_Malroy | well, I don't | Mar 05 08:41 |

Diablo-D3 | DURR HURR I WANT CHOICE | Mar 05 08:41 |
Diablo-D3 | you get choice | Mar 05 08:41 |
Diablo-D3 | DURR HURR WHY IS MICROSOFT SILL A CHOICE | Mar 05 08:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I had to buy used laptops off of ebay to not pay MS | Mar 05 08:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | that much I refuse to give them money | Mar 05 08:42 |
Diablo-D3 | and you know what | Mar 05 08:42 |
Diablo-D3 | if winmo wasnt a pile of shit | Mar 05 08:42 |

phIRCe-BNc | Title: Huge List of Speed Traps | The National Speed Trap Exchange .::. Size~: 25.02 KB | Mar 05 08:43 |
Diablo-D3 | surprising | Mar 05 08:44 |
Diablo-D3 | there are no speed traps in my town | Mar 05 08:44 |
Diablo-D3 | <3 local cops | Mar 05 08:44 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> interesting | Mar 05 08:45 |
Chips_B_Malroy | did not have to go far on your list (link) to see some | Mar 05 08:48 |
DaemonFC | have to be careful here, the town is $750,000 under budget so far this fiscal year | Mar 05 08:49 |
DaemonFC | they're giving tickets left and right | Mar 05 08:50 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I very careful but I getting old now too, so maybe too careful, many of these lights change too fast, as if they are designed to increased fines | Mar 05 08:50 |
Chips_B_Malroy | point, its a tax | Mar 05 08:50 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Diabio> you in new england or new york? I could buy that not traps there | Mar 05 08:52 |
DaemonFC | I got some spray for my mom's license plate | Mar 05 08:52 |
DaemonFC | makes the plate to where you can read it like nothing is on it, but all the cameras see is a flash of light | Mar 05 08:52 |
Chips_B_Malroy | One thing I noticed, the lights, they are not consistant here | Mar 05 08:53 |
DaemonFC | they do that in Fort Wayne | Mar 05 08:53 |
DaemonFC | then snap your picture | Mar 05 08:53 |
DaemonFC | mail you the ticket | Mar 05 08:53 |
Chips_B_Malroy | the turn signal lights, are differnet, put in different areas as well | Mar 05 08:53 |
Chips_B_Malroy | differnet timing speeds | Mar 05 08:54 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its just anothe obsence tax | Mar 05 08:54 |
Chips_B_Malroy | they have not nailed me yet, but I believe in time they will get everyone. Its what its about, extracting more money | Mar 05 08:55 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I very careful, but the lights, they force you to greatly speed up of hit the brakes, because the timing is cheated now | Mar 05 08:57 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its greed again | Mar 05 08:58 |
DaemonFC | yeah, they put a new tax on drive thru | Mar 05 08:58 |
DaemonFC | locally | Mar 05 08:58 |
DaemonFC | so I park the car and go in | Mar 05 08:58 |
DaemonFC | it's not a huge tax, I just won't pay it | Mar 05 08:58 |
Chips_B_Malroy | most people will not belive me until they have to pay | Mar 05 08:58 |
DaemonFC | I want this town to be broke | Mar 05 08:58 |
DaemonFC | I want them to cut the fat before asking for more taxes | Mar 05 08:58 |
Chips_B_Malroy | they will never do that | Mar 05 08:59 |
DaemonFC | they're going to | Mar 05 08:59 |
Chips_B_Malroy | how long have you lived in this country? | Mar 05 08:59 |
DaemonFC | if they wouldn't have given Walmart property tax amnesty for 10 years, they wouldn't nearly as far over budget | Mar 05 09:00 |
DaemonFC | :P | Mar 05 09:00 |
DaemonFC | fuckers | Mar 05 09:00 |
Chips_B_Malroy | all my life, and I am old, I never seen the gov, any gov cut back | Mar 05 09:00 |
DaemonFC | same for that Christian university | Mar 05 09:00 |
DaemonFC | tax the living hell out of them | Mar 05 09:00 |
Chips_B_Malroy | not going happen | Mar 05 09:00 |
DaemonFC | I said earlier they're going to fire like 10 police officers | Mar 05 09:01 |
DaemonFC | and cut some local government jobs | Mar 05 09:01 |
Chips_B_Malroy | ????????????? | Mar 05 09:01 |
Chips_B_Malroy | cops are the last to go | Mar 05 09:01 |
DaemonFC | yeah, no more take home cars for the rest of the cops either | Mar 05 09:01 |
DaemonFC | and they're getting their health insurance premiums hiked | Mar 05 09:01 |
DaemonFC | I know | Mar 05 09:01 |
DaemonFC | that's why I know it's serious | Mar 05 09:02 |
DaemonFC | they're talking seriously about firing the cops | Mar 05 09:02 |
Chips_B_Malroy | when the gov gives up on cops, its a sign we are really in trouble, as in we broke | Mar 05 09:02 |
DaemonFC | no money to pay them with | Mar 05 09:02 |
DaemonFC | :P | Mar 05 09:02 |
Chips_B_Malroy | they will even fire teachers first | Mar 05 09:02 |
DaemonFC | can't | Mar 05 09:02 |
DaemonFC | teachers union | Mar 05 09:02 |
Chips_B_Malroy | have they done that yet? | Mar 05 09:03 |
DaemonFC | they have to wait for them to retire | Mar 05 09:03 |
DaemonFC | or buyout their contract | Mar 05 09:03 |
Chips_B_Malroy | could be | Mar 05 09:03 |
DaemonFC | no, they said there's a hiring freeze | Mar 05 09:03 |
Chips_B_Malroy | there | Mar 05 09:03 |
DaemonFC | retiring teachers won't be replaced | Mar 05 09:03 |
DaemonFC | I'm not too worried about a hiring freeze in the local government | Mar 05 09:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Calif, going be lots of teachers gone soon, big trouble there | Mar 05 09:04 |
DaemonFC | the only people that get those jobs are the families of local politicians anyway | Mar 05 09:04 |
DaemonFC | :P | Mar 05 09:04 |
DaemonFC | nepotism | Mar 05 09:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | yours is town or city | Mar 05 09:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | there's is state | Mar 05 09:04 |
DaemonFC | incorporated as a city | Mar 05 09:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its about to happen here too | Mar 05 09:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | mostly state going to 4 day work weeks | Mar 05 09:05 |
DaemonFC | the mayor called everyone who disagrees with him a "little Taliban" | Mar 05 09:05 |
DaemonFC | who should "just leave" | Mar 05 09:05 |
DaemonFC | our mayor is an idiot | Mar 05 09:05 |
Chips_B_Malroy | nice guy | Mar 05 09:05 |
DaemonFC | telling his tax base to leave | Mar 05 09:06 |
DaemonFC | that's funny | Mar 05 09:06 |
Chips_B_Malroy | mostly,, the local gov, is corrupt too | Mar 05 09:06 |
Chips_B_Malroy | even in small towns | Mar 05 09:06 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I noticed | Mar 05 09:06 |
DaemonFC | oh I know it's corrupt | Mar 05 09:06 |
DaemonFC | the funny thing is that Indiana has Townships too | Mar 05 09:07 |
Chips_B_Malroy | that only people who ran, where mostly large homebuilders | Mar 05 09:07 |
DaemonFC | so a town or city is actually multiple Townships | Mar 05 09:07 |
Chips_B_Malroy | its all about money | Mar 05 09:07 |
DaemonFC | and every one of those has limited government as well | Mar 05 09:07 |

Chips_B_Malroy | which sadly, if you read the consititiution, was not what it was about | Mar 05 09:08 |
DaemonFC | well, the state constitution established those | Mar 05 09:08 |
Chips_B_Malroy | or should I say, the Bill of Rights | Mar 05 09:08 |
DaemonFC | but that was in 1816 | Mar 05 09:08 |
DaemonFC | we don't need them now | Mar 05 09:08 |
DaemonFC | nobody ever rescinded it and now we pay politicians to duplicate things the city and county politicians do already | Mar 05 09:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | they had a good idea | Mar 05 09:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but the crooks learned how to defeat that | Mar 05 09:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | early on | Mar 05 09:09 |
DaemonFC | the Republicans and Democrats like to keep townships around | Mar 05 09:10 |
Chips_B_Malroy | now the singers and cahns, run over the intent of this country | Mar 05 09:10 |

oiaohm | From a hostile point of view you only do the vote of the shareholders if you know you will win. | Mar 05 13:00 |

DaemonFC | $3 an hour less than it's legal to work an adult for | Mar 05 14:02 |
DaemonFC | they rack up 12 hours that week, Walmart pockets $36 in difference X 60 kids? x however many weeks they're out there (a new batch could come in after the 90 days) | Mar 05 14:04 |
*amarsh04 has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) | Mar 05 14:05 | |
DaemonFC | so if they run the program for 1 year, Walmart could save $112,000 | Mar 05 14:05 |
DaemonFC | that's assuming 12 hours a week for each kid | Mar 05 14:05 |
DaemonFC | and that they only do it at one high school and one store | Mar 05 14:05 |
DaemonFC | it's also a bunch of workers that never qualifies for health insurance, life insurance, etc. | Mar 05 14:06 |
DaemonFC | they're young and probably can work faster than an adult | Mar 05 14:06 |
DaemonFC | less likely to pull something and file a workers comp claim | Mar 05 14:07 |
oiaohm | Also more likely to screw up as well. | Mar 05 14:07 |
DaemonFC | doubt it | Mar 05 14:07 |
oiaohm | I have see the direct results of this idea of 90 hours of cheep labor | Mar 05 14:07 |
DaemonFC | how do you screw up and clean a toilet wrong? | Mar 05 14:07 |
oiaohm | Leave bleach on the seat | Mar 05 14:08 |
DaemonFC | lmao | Mar 05 14:08 |
DaemonFC | they give teenagers the dirtiest, nastiest, most demeaning jobs there are | Mar 05 14:08 |
oiaohm | Fill the paper wrong so it jams. | Mar 05 14:08 |
oiaohm | Yes there is a long list of ways to screw a toilet up cleaning it. | Mar 05 14:09 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, There's not that many hourly positions at Walmart that require much thought | Mar 05 14:09 |
DaemonFC | the closest thing I can think of are the department managers | Mar 05 14:09 |
oiaohm | Even pricing items can cause big screwups. | Mar 05 14:09 |
DaemonFC | no it can't | Mar 05 14:10 |
oiaohm | Here it can because if the shelf price is wrong that is the price it has to be sold at. | Mar 05 14:10 |
DaemonFC | and the department manager sets the mod and labels the price on the shelf | Mar 05 14:10 |
oiaohm | I guess USA should be the same. | Mar 05 14:10 |
schestowitz | [14:00] <DaemonFC> schestowitz, You remember that scene from Shawshank Redemption where the warden turns the prisoners into cheap day laborers so that local businessmen will bribe him to make them go away? | Mar 05 14:10 |
schestowitz | Yeah.. | Mar 05 14:10 |
DaemonFC | there's no way to override the price without a salary manager | Mar 05 14:10 |
DaemonFC | that would be someone like me :P | Mar 05 14:11 |
DaemonFC | And if you override too many prices, that causes a lot of shrinkage. | Mar 05 14:11 |
oiaohm | Shelf stacking there are ways even to screw that up. | Mar 05 14:11 |
DaemonFC | If you cause a lot of shrinkage, the District Manager will call you, maybe even at home, to ask why and chew your ass out and write you up if you don't have a good reason. | Mar 05 14:12 |
oiaohm | Don't underestimate the foolish of under trained staff. | Mar 05 14:12 |
DaemonFC | the other thing that can get your reamed is overriding the time clock without a good reason | Mar 05 14:12 |
DaemonFC | they get a report of who you allowed to clock in that the time clock rejected | Mar 05 14:12 |
DaemonFC | and will want to know why you're going over payroll budget | Mar 05 14:13 |
oiaohm | I saw a work for a dole (ie unemployment benifts idea here for the young.) | Mar 05 14:13 |
DaemonFC | if the employee is not on the schedule, the time clock will flash red, make a razzing noise, and say "REJECTED: NOT SCHEDULED" | Mar 05 14:14 |
DaemonFC | also, you can't clock in until at least 10 minutes before the shift | Mar 05 14:14 |
DaemonFC | and you get wrote up for having unauthorized overtime | Mar 05 14:14 |
oiaohm | 90 hours sound like a lot until you work out how much training to do a lot of jobs right lot of people need. | Mar 05 14:14 |
DaemonFC | theres a nice big button on the time clock that says Manager Override. You push that, slide your badge, and then the employee can slide theirs. | Mar 05 14:15 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, 90 days | Mar 05 14:15 |
oiaohm | Even 90 days. | Mar 05 14:15 |
DaemonFC | doesn't take 90 days to learn most of that stuff | Mar 05 14:16 |
DaemonFC | I'd have them stocking shelves and cleaning the restrooms | Mar 05 14:16 |
DaemonFC | less chance of accidents or costly errors | Mar 05 14:16 |
oiaohm | Skilled staff you don't have to check up on as much. | Mar 05 14:16 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, I've fired people for being there too long and earning more money than the rest | Mar 05 14:17 |
DaemonFC | I have X payroll and if they are making 25-30% more than average, damn right I'll fire them | Mar 05 14:17 |
DaemonFC | and I don't care if they have a family | Mar 05 14:18 |
DaemonFC | cause you know why? | Mar 05 14:18 |
DaemonFC | they can re-apply and ask for their job back | Mar 05 14:18 |
DaemonFC | at starting rate | Mar 05 14:18 |
DaemonFC | and I've done that | Mar 05 14:18 |
DaemonFC | actually I do care, but I have to sit on that | Mar 05 14:19 |
DaemonFC | if I want to continue my employment | Mar 05 14:19 |
DaemonFC | so that's what I had to do for those years | Mar 05 14:19 |
oiaohm | That is still keeping some skilled staff that know how things should be working. | Mar 05 14:19 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, I looked at how much they made out of global payroll and how hard they worked for it | Mar 05 14:19 |
DaemonFC | it wasn't just how much they're paid | Mar 05 14:20 |
DaemonFC | if they make 25% more than average but I think I'm getting half again as much work from them, I wouldn't fire them | Mar 05 14:20 |
oiaohm | Yep best workers best pay. | Mar 05 14:20 |
DaemonFC | another thing you can do if they're a competent worker you don't want to lose is promote them to a position where you can tell the DM why they make that much | Mar 05 14:21 |
DaemonFC | that assumes you have open positions | Mar 05 14:21 |
oiaohm | I saw case here of a saw mill clean up staff replaced by unskilled. | Mar 05 14:21 |
oiaohm | The job is simple pickup bits of scrap wood. | Mar 05 14:21 |

oiaohm | Not much ways you can screw that up. But lossing eyes who knew how operations worked end up with more thieft. | Mar 05 14:22 |
oiaohm | So the savings end up not worth it. | Mar 05 14:22 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, I've had a few cases where I've had to close the door and say "You didn't have this discussion with me, and I'll deny it, but you're either going to take this promotion or you won't be working here tomorrow" | Mar 05 14:22 |

DaemonFC | cause sometimes people don't want the promotion | Mar 05 14:22 |
DaemonFC | sometimes it moves them to another shift and they only gain half of the differential they lost | Mar 05 14:23 |
oiaohm | does your shop fill the shelfs while the shop is open. | Mar 05 14:23 |
DaemonFC | well, I haven't worked there since like 2007 | Mar 05 14:24 |
DaemonFC | but we tried not to | Mar 05 14:24 |
oiaohm | Places here try to fill while open. | Mar 05 14:24 |
DaemonFC | 3rd shift was stocking, but we were 24 hours too | Mar 05 14:24 |
DaemonFC | so yes we were open, but I mean we tried stocking while customer load was low | Mar 05 14:24 |

DaemonFC | oiaohm, What's funny is when you catch a kid stealing | Mar 05 14:28 |
DaemonFC | video games, CDs.... | Mar 05 14:28 |
DaemonFC | if the kid was under 14 or so, I'd make the parent sign a form that stated they realized that coming back into the store for any reason is trespassing | Mar 05 14:29 |
DaemonFC | over that age, I'd call the police and press shoplifting charges | Mar 05 14:29 |
oiaohm | I guess you don't have areas where natives will basically destory shop unless they get to steal particular times of year. | Mar 05 14:30 |
DaemonFC | I don't tolerate thieves | Mar 05 14:30 |
DaemonFC | I don't care if you steal a tic tac | Mar 05 14:30 |
DaemonFC | the police will be called | Mar 05 14:30 |
oiaohm | Some areas here for chrismas and the like you have to. | Mar 05 14:30 |
oiaohm | If you want shop in one piece. | Mar 05 14:31 |
DaemonFC | people are really messed up | Mar 05 14:32 |
oiaohm | Problem is they still class the land under shop as theirs and you can do them a good turn one or twice per year. | Mar 05 14:32 |
oiaohm | For the use of land | Mar 05 14:32 |
oiaohm | rest of the year they pay without question. | Mar 05 14:32 |

DaemonFC | Welmart parks two stores close enough to kill each other's sales | Mar 05 14:37 |
DaemonFC | the idea is to starve out the competition then each Walmart store will absorb their business | Mar 05 14:37 |
DaemonFC | and be at 100% capacity :P | Mar 05 14:38 |
DaemonFC | so there are areas with two Walmart stores a mile away from each other | Mar 05 14:38 |
DaemonFC | there's a method to that madness though | Mar 05 14:38 |
DaemonFC | in a way, I think that Walmart is more of a threat than Microsoft | Mar 05 14:39 |
DaemonFC | Walmart plans things better | Mar 05 14:39 |
oiaohm | I guess they don't do same as the bush proprities were the fuel to leave is more than 4 weeks wages. You have to pay rent and board out of wages as well. | Mar 05 14:39 |
DaemonFC | they squeeze costs out of the business | Mar 05 14:39 |
DaemonFC | down to the smallest detail | Mar 05 14:40 |
DaemonFC | they study what their customer wants | Mar 05 14:40 |
oiaohm | So basically you are working for nothing for many weeks just to get out the place. DaemonFC | Mar 05 14:40 |
DaemonFC | and plan to attract customers from stores that do things Walmart doesn't do yet | Mar 05 14:40 |

DaemonFC | I hate paying for things in cash | Mar 05 14:49 |
DaemonFC | I don't pay for anything else in cash | Mar 05 14:49 |
DaemonFC | before that bitch did that I don't think I had touched cash in over a year | Mar 05 14:49 |
oiaohm | Big trick is Woolworths and Coles both have overlaping stores. | Mar 05 14:49 |
DaemonFC | cash is inefficent | Mar 05 14:50 |
DaemonFC | it loads you down with change | Mar 05 14:50 |
DaemonFC | you put the change in a jar where it collects | Mar 05 14:50 |
DaemonFC | you take it to the bank for cash | Mar 05 14:50 |
oiaohm | Ie so you can get a price of the same item from 2 woolworth stores or two coles stores with both stores having different signs up and different uniforms. DaemonFC | Mar 05 14:50 |
DaemonFC | it's a vicious cycle | Mar 05 14:50 |
oiaohm | So there appears to be compeition DaemonFC | Mar 05 14:50 |
DaemonFC | hah | Mar 05 14:50 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, different Walmart stores have different prices | Mar 05 14:51 |
oiaohm | Same | Mar 05 14:51 |
DaemonFC | rule of thumb is that the price goes up every time a competitor goes bankrupt and leaves | Mar 05 14:51 |
oiaohm | Different prices different signage. | Mar 05 14:51 |
DaemonFC | so when a Walmart moves in, their stuff is impossibly cheap | Mar 05 14:51 |
oiaohm | Our goverment here is pushing for nation wide pricing. | Mar 05 14:52 |
DaemonFC | they're dumping the entire store | Mar 05 14:52 |
DaemonFC | everyone shops at the Walmart and starves the competition | Mar 05 14:52 |
oiaohm | So to kill the coles vs woolworths problem. | Mar 05 14:52 |
DaemonFC | a year later, the Walmart costs more than the competition did when it was there | Mar 05 14:52 |
oiaohm | Ie coles and woolworths fight everyone else is screwed. | Mar 05 14:52 |
oiaohm | Do walmart sell fuel. | Mar 05 14:52 |
oiaohm | Coles and Woolworths basically sell everything. | Mar 05 14:53 |
DaemonFC | some do under a contract with Murphy's | Mar 05 14:53 |
oiaohm | Other than cars | Mar 05 14:53 |
oiaohm | I mean directly. | Mar 05 14:53 |

DaemonFC | they aren't in trouble | Mar 05 14:59 |
oiaohm | I don't think there is anything like aldi over there. | Mar 05 14:59 |
DaemonFC | ALDI is right next to the store here | Mar 05 14:59 |
oiaohm | Not like here. | Mar 05 14:59 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz, Walmart was on the #1 spot on Fortune 500's Most Admired Companies list in 2004, right in the midst of the off the clock lawsuit scandal even. It has nothing to do with anything except being able to turn cash. | Mar 05 20:16 |
DaemonFC | by that benchmark, Microsoft being absent tells you EXACTLY what investors think of their prospects | Mar 05 20:16 |
Diablo-D3 | DaemonFC: thats a little off | Mar 05 20:17 |
Diablo-D3 | you should only measure their stock performance | Mar 05 20:17 |
Diablo-D3 | thats the only benchmark of what investors think | Mar 05 20:17 |
DaemonFC | stock performance is only useful in aggregate | Mar 05 20:17 |
Diablo-D3 | not really. | Mar 05 20:17 |
DaemonFC | Novell's didn't jump 26% overnight cause they announced record profits | Mar 05 20:17 |
Diablo-D3 | because that was one day | Mar 05 20:18 |
Diablo-D3 | Im talking over a year | Mar 05 20:18 |

Diablo-D3 | but at least it moves up periodically | Mar 05 20:22 |
DaemonFC | Diablo-D3, That's the problem with being the biggest company on the planet | Mar 05 20:22 |
DaemonFC | growth potential | Mar 05 20:22 |
DaemonFC | that's where investors look | Mar 05 20:23 |
Diablo-D3 | why do you think I have a large percentage of small caps in my portfolio? | Mar 05 20:23 |
DaemonFC | Walmart is stable | Mar 05 20:23 |
DaemonFC | you probably wouldn't LOSE anything on them | Mar 05 20:23 |
DaemonFC | but the potential gain isn't there either | Mar 05 20:23 |
Diablo-D3 | its like two thirds small caps, two thirds of that last third is medium cap, whats left is large cap | Mar 05 20:23 |
DaemonFC | Diablo-D3, If I have one store how many does it take to double my growth? | Mar 05 20:24 |
DaemonFC | one more | Mar 05 20:24 |
DaemonFC | If I have 20,000 stores, and I add one, ho hum | Mar 05 20:25 |
Diablo-D3 | DaemonFC: yes but | Mar 05 20:25 |
Diablo-D3 | Im not disagreeing with you here | Mar 05 20:25 |
DaemonFC | barely grew at all | Mar 05 20:25 |
Diablo-D3 | wmt has, for example, only recently been even worth investing in again | Mar 05 20:25 |
Diablo-D3 | and even then, I hold it as part of a portfolio if 200. | Mar 05 20:25 |
Diablo-D3 | *of | Mar 05 20:25 |
DaemonFC | yeah, they're moving on to conquer and oppress the people of the same third world countries their suppliers are in | Mar 05 20:25 |
DaemonFC | :P | Mar 05 20:25 |
DaemonFC | Only one store in the world ever voted in a union | Mar 05 20:26 |
DaemonFC | it was in Canada | Mar 05 20:26 |
DaemonFC | profitable store | Mar 05 20:26 |
DaemonFC | Walmart closed it immediately to make an example of them | Mar 05 20:27 |
Diablo-D3 | unions are worthless shit though | Mar 05 20:27 |
Diablo-D3 | its just more corrupt beurocracy | Mar 05 20:27 |
DaemonFC | that's what they teach managers to think | Mar 05 20:27 |
DaemonFC | but it's not really true | Mar 05 20:27 |
Diablo-D3 | no fuckers going to tell me to go on strike just because THEY'RE not getting paid enough | Mar 05 20:27 |
DaemonFC | you could hardly do worse than what Walmart pays | Mar 05 20:28 |
Diablo-D3 | well no, I could get fired. | Mar 05 20:28 |
Diablo-D3 | which is quite worse. | Mar 05 20:28 |
DaemonFC | Meijer is unionized and they pay people better | Mar 05 20:28 |
DaemonFC | and guarantee at least so many hours a week | Mar 05 20:28 |
Diablo-D3 | why do you think silicon valley kept the unions out? | Mar 05 20:28 |
Diablo-D3 | because its bullshit | Mar 05 20:28 |
Diablo-D3 | big business, the government, AND unions just want to steal your hard earned money | Mar 05 20:29 |
DaemonFC | no, because managers illegally threaten employees who want something better | Mar 05 20:29 |
Diablo-D3 | they all work together to do it | Mar 05 20:29 |
Diablo-D3 | so yes, unions are part of the problem | Mar 05 20:29 |
DaemonFC | union busting is always for the company bottom line | Mar 05 20:29 |
Diablo-D3 | I refuse to work for a company that has a union | Mar 05 20:29 |
DaemonFC | so the employees can make starvation wages and have no negotiating ability | Mar 05 20:29 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, I _do_ have negotiating ability | Mar 05 20:30 |
Diablo-D3 | I quit. | Mar 05 20:30 |
Diablo-D3 | OOH WHAT CAN THEY DO TO ME NOW | Mar 05 20:30 |
DaemonFC | that's not a threat | Mar 05 20:30 |
DaemonFC | having 300 people walk out over something evil management did is a threat | Mar 05 20:30 |
DaemonFC | the store closes down and loses millions of dollars | Mar 05 20:31 |
Diablo-D3 | well, no its not a threat per say | Mar 05 20:31 |
Diablo-D3 | its just that they're no longer a threat to me | Mar 05 20:31 |
DaemonFC | the management would get reasonable quickly | Mar 05 20:31 |
DaemonFC | I've worked union and non-union | Mar 05 20:32 |
DaemonFC | can tell you that the health insurance was a lot better with the union job | Mar 05 20:32 |
DaemonFC | no premium, no co-pay, no deductible | Mar 05 20:32 |
Diablo-D3 | lol | Mar 05 20:32 |
Diablo-D3 | you're trying to play the health insurance card | Mar 05 20:32 |
Diablo-D3 | lolololol | Mar 05 20:32 |
DaemonFC | it was good insurance | Mar 05 20:33 |
Diablo-D3 | dude, if the government WORKED we wouldnt have this problem! | Mar 05 20:33 |
DaemonFC | well it doesn't, so we do | Mar 05 20:33 |
DaemonFC | :) | Mar 05 20:33 |
DaemonFC | companies like to work you until you're too sick or injured to move | Mar 05 20:34 |
DaemonFC | then they discard you and replace you with someone younger who works for less | Mar 05 20:34 |
Diablo-D3 | DaemonFC: no see | Mar 05 20:34 |
Diablo-D3 | thats the moron way of doing shit | Mar 05 20:34 |
Diablo-D3 | you dont form unions because the government doesnt work | Mar 05 20:34 |
DaemonFC | works for them | Mar 05 20:34 |
Diablo-D3 | you FIX THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT | Mar 05 20:34 |
DaemonFC | government works for them too | Mar 05 20:35 |
DaemonFC | Walmart actually does want the feds to tackle healthcare because they already refer employees to emergency programs like food stamps and Medicaid anyway | Mar 05 20:35 |

Diablo-D3 | RMS is a smelly hippie who hasn't done anything for the software community since his early work on emacs and gcc. He's a worthless political hack whose only goal is to undermine advancement in software by grouping it in with other things that commies tend to think everyone has a free right to. | Mar 05 22:44 |

schestowitz | equate a "new IP address checking in" with "a new installation of | Mar 05 22:57 |

schestowitz | 1. Users who have dynamic IP addresses will likely be counted | Mar 05 22:57 |
