DaemonFC | "How many people live in your home?" | Mar 11 04:17 |
Balrog | you have to answer all the questions | Mar 11 04:21 |
Balrog | if you don't they'll send a census worker to your house | Mar 11 04:21 |
DaemonFC | bullshit | Mar 11 04:21 |
DaemonFC | I'll slam the door on them | Mar 11 04:22 |
Balrog | then you'll get fined | Mar 11 04:22 |
Balrog | census is serious stuff | Mar 11 04:22 |
Balrog | be lucky you're not filling out the long form (they abolished it) | Mar 11 04:23 |
DaemonFC | I'm only answering the question the Constitution requires | Mar 11 04:23 |
DaemonFC | not telling them anything else | Mar 11 04:23 |
DaemonFC | and I'd send their long form back with one question answered anyway | Mar 11 04:24 |
DaemonFC | nobody has been fined over the census since the 1970s | Mar 11 04:24 |
DaemonFC | and the $500 fine is if you lie to them on the form | Mar 11 04:25 |
DaemonFC | refusing to respond at all is $100 | Mar 11 04:25 |
DaemonFC | also, Balrog, The fact that the census taker is out doing census work doesn't exempt them from criminal trespass laws | Mar 11 04:26 |
Balrog | true | Mar 11 04:26 |
DaemonFC | should they refuse to leave | Mar 11 04:26 |
Balrog | then again, census data is useful for people looking for family history information | Mar 11 04:27 |
DaemonFC | if they won't leave, I'll call the cops | Mar 11 04:27 |

DaemonFC | and that's sad that this gives me hope | Mar 11 05:34 |
Balrog | it's like that here | Mar 11 05:34 |
DaemonFC | Balrog, One of the issues I'm going to bring up is our over-dependence on Microsoft software | Mar 11 05:34 |
DaemonFC | when our operating budget for the year is down $5 million | Mar 11 05:35 |
Balrog | you may want to leave that for later, don't be ahead of yourself | Mar 11 05:35 |
DaemonFC | well, they might be moving to MS Office 2010 this year | Mar 11 05:35 |
Balrog | stay where he's comfortable for now | Mar 11 05:35 |
DaemonFC | and I think that might run us around $30,000 or more | Mar 11 05:35 |
Balrog | if you're going to talk about software, don't go to fast (in the conversation) | Mar 11 05:36 |
Balrog | I see | Mar 11 05:36 |
Balrog | do they really need to upgrade? I mean, 2007 works | Mar 11 05:36 |
DaemonFC | They're on Office 2003 | Mar 11 05:36 |
DaemonFC | there's been talks of upgrades | Mar 11 05:36 |
Balrog | well moving to the ribbon interface ... would require re-training | Mar 11 05:36 |
DaemonFC | I don't think they should be paying $30,000 for Office upgrades when they're firing people | Mar 11 05:36 |
Balrog | me neither | Mar 11 05:37 |
Balrog | better stay at 2003 | Mar 11 05:37 |
DaemonFC | or OOo with the OOXML plug-in | Mar 11 05:37 |
DaemonFC | if they do need OOXML | Mar 11 05:37 |
Balrog | I know you might say 'move to openoffice' but that's not going to be free either (takes time to install, test, etc) ... though a lot less expensive than 2010 | Mar 11 05:37 |
DaemonFC | yeah, it handles about the same as MS Office 2003 | Mar 11 05:37 |
Balrog | nothing that requires changes is free | Mar 11 05:38 |
DaemonFC | and has OOXML support | Mar 11 05:38 |
Balrog | yea | Mar 11 05:38 |
DaemonFC | the state has a hardon for Microsoft | Mar 11 05:38 |
DaemonFC | so we have to be MS compatible too | Mar 11 05:38 |
Balrog | explain? | Mar 11 05:38 |
DaemonFC | the state government likes to throw Microsoft formats around | Mar 11 05:38 |
Balrog | well I don't care about writing OOXML, reading it is sufficient, isn't it? | Mar 11 05:38 |
Balrog | ahhh | Mar 11 05:38 |
DaemonFC | Balrog, At one point, I had a website | Mar 11 05:39 |

Balrog | yea? | Mar 11 05:40 |
DaemonFC | yeah, just common ones, like tax forms | Mar 11 05:40 |
Balrog | tax forms weren't in PDF!? | Mar 11 05:40 |
DaemonFC | nope | Mar 11 05:40 |

Balrog | well they're finally catching up with the times | Mar 11 05:42 |
DaemonFC | What made me laugh was Miguel de Icaza explaining why he likes OOXML | Mar 11 05:43 |
DaemonFC | even though the version in Office 2007 is not ISO compliant | Mar 11 05:43 |
Balrog | hahh | Mar 11 05:43 |
DaemonFC | he never mentioned that | Mar 11 05:44 |
Balrog | OOXML isn't even consistent across MS's own products | Mar 11 05:44 |
Balrog | like Word for Windows vs. Word for Mac | Mar 11 05:44 |
DaemonFC | in some ways, the binary documents were better | Mar 11 05:44 |
DaemonFC | because they were more consistent | Mar 11 05:44 |
Balrog | better than PDF? | Mar 11 05:45 |
Balrog | ahh I get it | Mar 11 05:45 |
Balrog | sorry | Mar 11 05:45 |
DaemonFC | no | Mar 11 05:45 |
Balrog | well yes, that's true | Mar 11 05:45 |
Balrog | they were | Mar 11 05:45 |
DaemonFC | better than OOXML | Mar 11 05:45 |
Balrog | yea I agree | Mar 11 05:45 |
DaemonFC | I played with my student copy of Office 2007 and hated it | Mar 11 05:45 |
Balrog | I wonder how much the binary version changed from the early versions of word ... the ones that actually worked well | Mar 11 05:45 |
Balrog | (4.x to 5.x for Mac) | Mar 11 05:46 |
DaemonFC | the ODF wasn't 100% compatible with OOo's | Mar 11 05:46 |
Balrog | before MS messed up with Word 6 for Mac | Mar 11 05:46 |
DaemonFC | OOXML documents made with either suite wouldn't work well with the other | Mar 11 05:46 |
Balrog | (which was made from the same codebase as Word 6 for Windows) | Mar 11 05:46 |
Balrog | hah I see | Mar 11 05:46 |
DaemonFC | OOo 3.2 is much better | Mar 11 05:46 |
Balrog | known facts | Mar 11 05:46 |
Balrog | yea | Mar 11 05:46 |

DaemonFC | there needs to be an OOo PPA for Ubuntu | Mar 11 05:47 |
DaemonFC | the LTS editions anyway | Mar 11 05:47 |
DaemonFC | OOo has been evolving faster than an LTS of Ubuntu is released | Mar 11 05:47 |
Balrog | I think there is | Mar 11 05:47 |
Balrog | I stopped using LTS | Mar 11 05:47 |
Balrog | I'm using debian squeeze + some packages from sid now | Mar 11 05:48 |
Balrog | (well mainly because ubuntu doesn't support the platform I'm using) | Mar 11 05:48 |
sebsebseb | Balrog: What platform are you running? | Mar 11 05:49 |
Balrog | that box? marvell sheevaplug | Mar 11 05:49 |
sebsebseb | Balrog: the one Ubuntu won't work on? | Mar 11 05:49 |
Balrog | it's an ARM chip with fewer features than the ARM version of ubuntu supports | Mar 11 05:49 |
Balrog | yes | Mar 11 05:49 |
Balrog | basically an SoC | Mar 11 05:50 |
sebsebseb | yeah I meant the one Ubuntu won't work on, what are you running, anyyway I don't know what a sheevaplug or a SoC is | Mar 11 05:50 |
Balrog | http://www.plugcomputer.org/ | Mar 11 05:50 |
Balrog | SoC == system on a chip | Mar 11 05:50 |
DaemonFC | Balrog, YOu may try Lucid | Mar 11 05:50 |
DaemonFC | they've really gone out of their way to support ARM | Mar 11 05:50 |
sebsebseb | Balrog: system on a chip, you mean like uhmm well that instant on stuff | Mar 11 05:50 |
sebsebseb | with newer computers | Mar 11 05:50 |
Balrog | the last version of Ubuntu to support that ARM version is Intrepid | Mar 11 05:51 |
sebsebseb | os's on mother board chips or whatever it was | Mar 11 05:51 |
Balrog | umm no, sebsebseb | Mar 11 05:51 |
Balrog | it's basically chipset, etc crammed into one IC | Mar 11 05:51 |

DaemonFC | Balrog, OOo 3.2 supports Office 2007 XML with no plugins needed | Mar 11 05:51 |
DaemonFC | sweet! | Mar 11 05:51 |
Balrog | integrated circuit | Mar 11 05:51 |
Balrog | nice! | Mar 11 05:51 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: OOXML sucks | Mar 11 05:51 |
DaemonFC | (in the sense that it's an easier sell to IT guys now I mean) | Mar 11 05:51 |
Balrog | does, but if you need to read it | Mar 11 05:51 |
DaemonFC | Balrog, I mean exports it | Mar 11 05:52 |
Balrog | ahh | Mar 11 05:52 |
Balrog | can't you export to .doc? | Mar 11 05:52 |
DaemonFC | yep | Mar 11 05:52 |
DaemonFC | your choice | Mar 11 05:52 |
Balrog | what do I run on it? http server, torrent client, instant messaging client, other services, and I do development on it | Mar 11 05:52 |
DaemonFC | but the state may have a requirement for docx or odt | Mar 11 05:52 |
Balrog | (the sheevaplug) | Mar 11 05:52 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: 3.2 is a version that has the Oracale thing in it, instead of Sun? | Mar 11 05:52 |
DaemonFC | and no binary docs allowed | Mar 11 05:52 |
Balrog | a requirement for ODT == no good | Mar 11 05:52 |
Balrog | err, DOCX * | Mar 11 05:52 |
Balrog | it's late, and I'm messing up a little :[ | Mar 11 05:53 |
DaemonFC | Balrog, Massachusetts says agencies can use either as archival formats | Mar 11 05:53 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: About > Open Office | Mar 11 05:53 |
Balrog | I wouldn't recommend docx | Mar 11 05:53 |
Balrog | it's too inconsistent | Mar 11 05:53 |
Balrog | archival format? PDF/A | Mar 11 05:53 |
DaemonFC | sebsebseb, copyright Sun | Mar 11 05:53 |
Balrog | that's what I'd use, even ODT is too inconsistent | Mar 11 05:54 |
sebsebseb | Balrog: PDF/A??? | Mar 11 05:54 |
Balrog | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A | Mar 11 05:54 |

Balrog | it's a standardized variant of PDF that is intended for archival purposes | Mar 11 05:54 |
sebsebseb | and then iddeally ODT if they need to be edited :) | Mar 11 05:54 |
Balrog | has fewer features than common PDF | Mar 11 05:55 |
Balrog | yes | Mar 11 05:55 |
sebsebseb | however way to many people using Microsoft Office still out there, that think it's fine and ok to send people .doc and so on | Mar 11 05:55 |
Balrog | hah, they should all just use LaTeX | Mar 11 05:55 |
Balrog | :) | Mar 11 05:55 |
sebsebseb | gnu.org philosphey don't send word documents | Mar 11 05:55 |
sebsebseb | Balrog: oh didn't know about that format | Mar 11 05:56 |
Balrog | which one, LaTeX? | Mar 11 05:56 |
sebsebseb | Balrog: no PDF/A | Mar 11 05:56 |
Balrog | ahh | Mar 11 05:56 |
Balrog | yea, stands for PDF/Archive | Mar 11 05:57 |
sebsebseb | altough LaTex uhmm some sort of advanced desktop publishing type format or something | Mar 11 05:57 |
Balrog | it's a typesetting format popular in the math and scientific community | Mar 11 05:57 |

sebsebseb | DaemonFC: quite a lot of people complained about that, since on left, but also in an odd order | Mar 11 06:05 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: quite a lot of people complaind about that, but my hopes aren't high for it being on the right in the correct order. | Mar 11 06:05 |
DaemonFC | just fix it | Mar 11 06:05 |

sebsebseb | quite easy to fix yeah | Mar 11 06:05 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: 10.04 was going to be nice and transparant apparnatly, but then no | Mar 11 06:06 |
sebsebseb | instead these two new themes that aren't that nice at all | Mar 11 06:06 |

schestowitz | You know who else is a legendary figure? | Mar 11 17:54 |
schestowitz | Jesus | Mar 11 17:54 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, What about Kwanzaa Claus? | Mar 11 17:54 |
schestowitz | He had a dozen followers | Mar 11 17:54 |
MinceR | dunno | Mar 11 17:54 |
MinceR | DaemonFC: is he notable? :> | Mar 11 17:54 |
Diablo-D3 | schestowitz: welcome to south park. | Mar 11 17:54 |
schestowitz | And he -- among many people like him -- came back from the dead and flew | Mar 11 17:54 |
schestowitz | To the Sun | Mar 11 17:54 |
schestowitz | There are Greek myths like this | Mar 11 17:55 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, No Kwanzaa in Hungary? | Mar 11 17:55 |
schestowitz | There is no evidence of his place of birth in biblical writings | Mar 11 17:55 |
schestowitz | That only existed after his death (I mean, resurrection) | Mar 11 17:55 |
schestowitz | Like "Mary's Well" | Mar 11 17:55 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, How is Kwanzaa not racist? | Mar 11 17:55 |
schestowitz | If he had kids, then we have his DNA | Mar 11 17:56 |
DaemonFC | If we had a day or six to celebrate all the joys of being white, they'd be fucking pissed | Mar 11 17:56 |

MinceR | not sure | Mar 11 17:57 |
schestowitz | revenge killings? | Mar 11 17:57 |
schestowitz | I think most killings are like that | Mar 11 17:57 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, Yes | Mar 11 17:57 |
schestowitz | Unless you hire someone to do it | Mar 11 17:57 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, Not really | Mar 11 17:57 |
schestowitz | Like soldiers sent to Iraq | Mar 11 17:57 |
MinceR | that can still be revenge | Mar 11 17:57 |
schestowitz | There's motive | Mar 11 17:57 |
DaemonFC | I could shoot, stab, bludgeon you for the money in your wallet | Mar 11 17:58 |
DaemonFC | that's not revenge | Mar 11 17:58 |
schestowitz | Motive is retaliation or precaution | Mar 11 17:58 |
DaemonFC | I could kill you for no reason at all, that's not revenge | Mar 11 17:58 |
schestowitz | precaution is when you assume s/he will hurt/kill you in the future, so you revenge proactively | Mar 11 17:58 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: would you? | Mar 11 17:58 |
DaemonFC | if I was pretty sure they'd make they would come after me eventually? | Mar 11 17:59 |
DaemonFC | maybe | Mar 11 17:59 |
schestowitz | People who shoot their class do so in revenge for treatment they think they got | Mar 11 17:59 |
DaemonFC | what about you? | Mar 11 17:59 |
schestowitz | So it's a form of revenge | Mar 11 17:59 |
DaemonFC | errr | Mar 11 17:59 |
DaemonFC | pretty sure they would | Mar 11 17:59 |
schestowitz | Troops in Iraq mostly think they retaliate for 9/11 | Mar 11 17:59 |
schestowitz | Ask them | Mar 11 17:59 |
schestowitz | They were indoctroniated | Mar 11 17:59 |
schestowitz | Some were made so racist so as not just to believe Iraq sent the crashers but also that "all Arabs are the same" and being racist is OK | Mar 11 18:00 |
DaemonFC | conflicting belief systems cause problems | Mar 11 18:00 |
DaemonFC | trying to artificially fabricate mixed neighborhoods begs for crime | Mar 11 18:00 |
schestowitz | Not always | Mar 11 18:00 |

schestowitz | MinceR: I think | Mar 11 18:01 |
schestowitz | But some people still serve lower down the classes | Mar 11 18:01 |
schestowitz | Bringing delusions to them has historically been the way to appease | Mar 11 18:02 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, And there's just so much rational thought out there...why if the world was any more rational, I don't know what I.......oh right :P | Mar 11 18:02 |
schestowitz | As in, "sure, I stomp on you, but when you get the 'blessing' of death you'll have 72 virgins and rivers of wine" | Mar 11 18:02 |
schestowitz | IOW, "look forward to dying" | Mar 11 18:02 |
MinceR | DaemonFC: there's too little of it out there, and that should be changed | Mar 11 18:02 |
schestowitz | "In the mean time, work like a dog" | Mar 11 18:03 |
schestowitz | Or mule, or whatever | Mar 11 18:03 |
schestowitz | Monkeys have envy | Mar 11 18:03 |
schestowitz | There were experiments done on it | Mar 11 18:03 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz, There's only one way to really be in illegal possession of a firearm if you're over 21 (aside from stealing it), that's if you don't have a permit | Mar 11 19:51 |
DaemonFC | the only way to really truly be disqualified for a permit is to have a felony on your record | Mar 11 19:51 |
DaemonFC | so that tells you that this person was either stupid and didn't get a permit, or had already been in deep shit before and couldn't | Mar 11 19:52 |

DaemonFC | or why we put up with those elements here | Mar 11 22:13 |
DaemonFC | we'd have a hell of a lot less crime if people knew their punishment would be unpleasant to severe | Mar 11 22:14 |
DaemonFC | they know they can ride out the time watching taxpayer funded TV and working out in expensive gyms | Mar 11 22:15 |
oiaohm | Part of the problem is death sentence solution is you don't get to undo mistakes. | Mar 11 22:15 |
oiaohm | Of course I don't believe there punishment should be light. But death is not exactly right. | Mar 11 22:15 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm, Well, there's certain cases where it's not in question at all whether they did it by the end of the trial | Mar 11 22:15 |
DaemonFC | where there were 50 witnesses and a signed confession | Mar 11 22:16 |
DaemonFC | they should not get all those appeals and shit | Mar 11 22:16 |
DaemonFC | in those cases | Mar 11 22:16 |
oiaohm | Even signed confession has at times be shown to be under duress. | Mar 11 22:16 |
oiaohm | Ie in time the physical evidence disproved the crime. | Mar 11 22:17 |
oiaohm | That is what makes it so hard DaemonFC. The system is not perfect. Its never going to be perfect. | Mar 11 22:17 |
oiaohm | witnesses can be supprisingly non dependable. | Mar 11 22:18 |
DaemonFC | so how do you send a message to people that you're going to come down hard on them if they commit a crime? | Mar 11 22:18 |
oiaohm | Now if the case has stack of physical evidence pointing to the person. And they cannot disprove any of it they should not really get appeals. | Mar 11 22:19 |
DaemonFC | if you take away the threats that you can make as punishment | Mar 11 22:19 |
oiaohm | There is a mixture of things here. | Mar 11 22:19 |
oiaohm | punishment is not the only thing required. You don't want people coming out of jail with no skills or they could be forced to redo crime. | Mar 11 22:20 |
oiaohm | Basically going to jail should be you are going to work your ass off. | Mar 11 22:20 |
oiaohm | So basically max of 6 hours sleep and the rest of the time working back side off under like a drill sargent. DaemonFC | Mar 11 22:23 |
oiaohm | So they get lots of training and will never really want to see a jail again DaemonFC | Mar 11 22:24 |
oiaohm | Also that method really does not do long term harm to anyone who is there is not gulity. | Mar 11 22:27 |
oiaohm | The other thing we find it fine to fit dogs with equal to tazer collers so they do what we want. Yet for some reason you suggest doing that to crimes people get upset. DaemonFC | Mar 11 22:29 |
oiaohm | It would kinda make stopping a roit fairly sime. | Mar 11 22:29 |
oiaohm | simple. | Mar 11 22:29 |
DaemonFC | make sure their time there is unpleasant and that they never want to see the place again, right | Mar 11 22:30 |
DaemonFC | so what are we doing wrong in our prisons that just makes them meaner criminals when they get out? | Mar 11 22:30 |
oiaohm | Not just unpleasant | Mar 11 22:31 |

jono_ | DaemonFC, well, possibly | Mar 11 22:44 |
DaemonFC | so I think Ubuntu is the only one that could patch this as it's not an issue on most Linux distros | Mar 11 22:44 |
jono_ | DaemonFC, pidgen is open source | Mar 11 22:44 |

DaemonFC | What has the feedback been like so far? | Mar 11 22:45 |
DaemonFC | cause it kind of feels like whatever Ubuntu ships is the One True Way and gets the red carpet, and whatever you prefer to use is all third world and icky and craps up the notifications area | Mar 11 22:47 |
DaemonFC | I guess I'd like to see it all one way or another | Mar 11 22:47 |

jono | DaemonFC, dude, I am not the answer to all your Ubuntu questions :-) | Mar 11 22:50 |
jono | ask the Empathy dudes | Mar 11 22:50 |
DaemonFC | and given their apathy to user needs, why is it default IM in Ubuntu? | Mar 11 22:50 |
jono | or ask on ubuntu-devel | Mar 11 22:50 |
jono | right, I am going back to work :) | Mar 11 22:50 |
DaemonFC | it seems to me to be another example of starting a project to make a program that is much less useful and more infuriating than whatever they have cloned | Mar 11 22:51 |
DaemonFC | I kind of went all those years thinking Pidgin was unresponsive to users and then Empathy comes along and kicks me in the crotch and shows me it can get worse | Mar 11 22:52 |
