| 12:05.05 | Clyphox | how the FUCK do you get GAY toddlers?!?! |
| 12:05.50 | Wethrin | Erm. It's a pisstake. |
| 12:06.09 | Clyphox | "I look forward to the day when all children will be implanted with microprocessors that moderate their speech and behavior and suppress aggressive, anti-social impulses with a shot of seratonin to the frontal cortex" |
| 12:06.19 | Wethrin | murb: What about Wycombebeer? |
| 12:06.41 | murb | Wethrin: or beconsfield beer? |
| 12:06.44 | murb | I'm in london atm |
| 12:06.52 | murb | so will be coming back in that direction. |
| 12:07.00 | Wethrin | Beaconsfield beer might be good too. What time, though? |
| 12:07.10 | murb | well i've not breakfasted yet. |
| 12:07.21 | Clyphox | ohh.. so I don't need to spam Jorge Lopez hehe |
| 12:09.14 | Wethrin | Neither have I. |
| 12:09.28 | murb | well, i'm south of the river |
| 12:09.28 | Huhn | JD: you as KDE expert... can you explain XDG menus? just reading some release notes and I don't quite understand what it's all about.. |
| 12:10.19 | Wethrin | Although some people are coming around 4ish today. So I wouldn't be able to make beer if it was around 3. I could make beer if it was around 7/8 onwards. |
| 12:10.59 | JD | Huhn: asically it is a standard location and file format for menu entries shared between KDE and gnome |
| 12:11.10 | Huhn | XML? |
| 12:11.30 | JD | I don't think so |
| 12:11.32 | Huhn | how does vfolder connect to this? |
| 12:11.37 | JD | hmmmm |
| 12:11.41 | Huhn | or is that another feature..? |
| 12:11.59 | JD | :) |
| 12:12.18 | Wethrin | Aren't GUIs just for opening lots of xterms? |
| 12:12.24 | JD | Wethrin: aye |
| 12:12.34 | Wethrin | That, and web browsing |
| 12:12.36 | murb | Huhn: get a job writting artgicles for "linux magazine without users" then. |
| 12:13.14 | Huhn | I don't want to writt artgicles :) |
| 12:13.39 | murb | can you make murblish the offical lanaguage of the magzine? |
| 12:14.03 | murb | there are so few linux publications in native murblish, i'm sure they'd be a market |
| 12:14.05 | Huhn | mh, we could write a perl script that does murblish automatically.. |
| 12:14.07 | murb | for them. |
| 12:14.35 | Wethrin | :) |
| 12:14.40 | Wethrin | The murblizer? |
| 12:14.50 | Wethrin | Bleh. Camden Town tube derailment |
| 12:14.50 | murb | I think google will go bust in 2 to 5 years if they don't have murblish interntionali=satinos |
| 12:14.56 | murb | indeed :(I |
| 12:15.26 | Wethrin | Didn't seem to make the national news, though |
| 12:15.34 | murb | it has made news.bbc |
| 12:15.47 | JD | Huhn: I thinik vfolders are used to provide structure to the menus |
| 12:15.48 | Wethrin | Yes, that's where I saw it. |
| 12:15.55 | Wethrin | After reading on #keble :) |
| 12:15.57 | JD | and the menus are in just one folder |
| 12:18.06 | Huhn | JD: I'm trying to understand what vfolder does.. can't find anything useful so far |
| 12:18.25 | Huhn | theoretically it should provide that you can reach menu things in 2 levels |
| 12:18.30 | Huhn | but how does it work? |
| 12:19.03 | JD | Huhn: aiui all the .desktop files are put in one directory and each .desktop says where it should be in the menu structure |
| 12:19.10 | JD | but I could be wrong |
| 12:19.29 | Wethrin | Mm. Food time |
| 12:19.44 | JD | or it could be that the vfolder stuff is a way of decided where to put entries based on different criteria |
| 12:29.02 | Leeds | hi JD |
| 12:29.27 | Clyphox | wb Leeds |
| 12:29.28 | JD | wow that is some loag |
| 12:29.30 | JD | lag |
| 12:29.53 | Leeds | it's called "woke up early, had breakfast, went back to sleep: |
| 12:29.55 | Leeds | " |
| 12:43.23 | JD | that is a long lunch |
| 12:44.30 | Leeds | well, it also included tea, dinner, a couple of synagogue services, reading Ecclesiastes and so on |
| 12:45.55 | Leeds | all unexpectedly :-) |
| 12:48.31 | murb | but you were fed. |
| 12:48.36 | murb | so what does it matter? |
| 12:48.48 | eye69 | Are there any "good" options for unmetered dialup? |
| 12:51.09 | Leeds | what do you mean by good? |
| 12:52.25 | eye69 | Well, that work without problems with a standard modem, and don't require Windows, and that preferably wont limit you to a number of hours per month. |
| 12:53.15 | Leeds | I'm not sure you'll get 24/7 dial-up from anywhere for a reasonable price, if that's what you mean |
| 12:53.33 | murb | I know somsone who users demons service 24x7 but it is quite expensive. |
| 13:04.51 | JD | murb: approx 45GBP a month |
| 13:06.24 | Huhn | do ppl here know how to check if a CD has copy protection? (I mean for online shops...) |
| 13:08.33 | murb | Huhn: you want to buy sokjmthing, but want to know if it is going to play in a comipute4r? |
| 13:10.32 | Huhn | murb: exactly |
| 13:10.50 | Huhn | there is one database I found, but the 2 CDs are not in it.. |
| 13:11.01 | Huhn | I don't want to buy CDs with copy protection |
| 13:11.47 | Leeds | Huhn: buy 'em, if they're protected, return them noisily |
| 13:12.05 | murb | if they display the compact disk digitial audio you should be ok |
| 13:12.09 | murb | logo |
| 13:12.29 | murb | if they display that and they've brokne the standard they should expect philips lawyers to be in contract with them. |
| 13:12.30 | Huhn | murb: I can't see that logo in an onlin store.. |
| 13:12.47 | murb | Huhn: and you can't get it in a shop? |
| 13:12.49 | Huhn | so, the only chance is go to the shops these days.. |
| 13:13.03 | Huhn | murb: I don't fancy going out, I like online shopping, cause I'm lazy |
| 13:13.07 | Huhn | all I want is information |
| 13:13.13 | Leeds | you should still be able to return it, but not as noisily, and with more work |
| 13:13.29 | Huhn | Leeds: sure, but that's not the point ;) |
| 13:13.35 | murb | Huhn: clearly you need a slave to go out on you r belhalf and buy the cd from a place that lets you take it back if you don't like it. |
| 13:13.36 | Huhn | I would like to know in advance.. |
| 13:13.46 | murb | s/slave/minion/ |
| 13:14.02 | Huhn | it would be great if shops like amazon had some information on that.. |
| 13:14.23 | murb | is google of any use? |
| 13:15.36 | Huhn | trying already |
| 13:23.11 | Huhn | mh, pity, in that case you can't buy online anymore.. |
| 13:24.26 | JD | Huhn: I could only help you if you brought them in a UK shop |
| 13:24.46 | Huhn | JD: what do you mean? |
| 13:25.05 | JD | well I could explain how UK consumer law works |
| 13:25.20 | JD | but that probably wouldn;t help you in .de and using the internet |
| 13:32.54 | Huhn | JD: nevermind, I called a friend and asked whether he knows sth (it's a Loreena McKennit CD and he's a fan) and he said the CD would most likely be ok, so I'll risk it ;) |
| 13:33.18 | Clyphox | blah |
| 13:33.25 | Wethrin | blah? |
| 13:33.32 | JD | Huhn: well if you are in a UK shop ask if it is a CD |
| 13:34.56 | Huhn | JD: yep, my point is more: I want to buy in online shops and I want information about this, that was all ;) |
| 13:35.14 | JD | Huhn: I know which is why my knowledge is useless to you |
| 13:35.17 | JD | :) |
| 13:35.41 | Leeds | Huhn: call the online shop? |
| 13:35.54 | Leeds | I would expect I could call amazon.co.uk to ask them... |
| 13:40.39 | Huhn | Leeds: I'll send them mail that they should definitely include those infos on their sites, otherwise it's getting useless for customers |
| 13:40.48 | Leeds | good idea |
| 13:44.54 | Leeds | they can be |
| 13:46.17 | Huhn | Wethrin: where are you buying? |
| 13:48.52 | Wethrin | play.com |
| 13:49.11 | Wethrin | Well, individually they're not too bad. But the accumulated price... |
| 13:50.26 | Leeds | true |
| 13:51.02 | Wethrin | But it's still quite tempting to buy the Hitchhiker's Guide and complete Blackadder. |
| 13:51.47 | Huhn | yep, I know play.com.. |
| 13:53.09 | Wethrin | Are they reliable? |
| 13:53.38 | Leeds | very |
| 13:53.43 | Leeds | in my experience |
| 13:54.05 | Wethrin | Good. |
| 13:54.29 | Leeds | and the no shipping charge means it's easy to just pick one thing and buy it, which is nice |
| 13:54.39 | Wethrin | Yes. |
| 13:55.38 | Wethrin | Bah. I'm just a poor student. I can't keep buying DVDs :) |
| 13:56.18 | Leeds | very true :-) |
| 13:56.21 | Wethrin | So if anyone's feeling generous and want to contribute to a student's happiness buy buying DVDs.... :) |
| 13:57.25 | Leeds | release a shitload of (or some very high quality) free stuff, and put up a wishlist |
| 14:00.51 | Wethrin | Hmm. |
| 14:02.36 | Leeds | just a thought :-) |
| 14:04.11 | Wethrin | Hm. Releasing free stuff might be harder... |
| 14:06.02 | Leeds | harder than what? |
| 14:06.14 | Wethrin | That not releasing :) |
| 14:06.20 | Leeds | well yeah |
| 14:06.34 | Wethrin | What sort of free stuff were you thinking of? |
| 14:06.47 | Leeds | alternatively, release some non-free stuff, use money to buy DVDs... |
| 14:09.04 | Leeds | I've got plenty on my own to-do list, thanks |
| 14:09.47 | Wethrin | Oh well. |
| 14:15.14 | murb | Wethrin: no work from suse after all then? |
| 14:17.52 | Leeds | on 'TV' |
| 14:18.08 | Huhn | Leeds: poor PC, should've installed Linux |
| 14:18.16 | murb | Leeds: how close is your mac to you? |
| 14:18.23 | Wethrin | murb: Yes, got work with SuSE |
| 14:18.30 | Leeds | it's still at "left Utrecht" |
| 14:18.45 | Wethrin | But that'll only just about cover monthly transport costs |
| 14:19.32 | Wethrin | Become a student |

| 14:24.46 | Leeds | Tarragon: keyboard trouble? |
| 14:24.55 | murb | Tarragon: yeah, i get to cut out the middle man |
| 14:24.56 | Wethrin | Leeds: No, he's talking in murblish |

| 14:25.00 | murb | and also the expences of living abroad. |

| 14:25.09 | Leeds | ah, oops, sotrry |
| 14:25.13 | Tarragon | Yes. Wireless - think the batteries are dying again. |
| 14:26.58 | murb | is anyone going to the apple ukuug thing? |
| 14:27.29 | Wethrin | I would do, but can't. |
| 14:27.34 | Leeds | maybe if it weren't during working hours |
| 14:27.47 | Wethrin | Ywp |
| 14:27.55 | Leeds | pity really.. |

| 19:29.41 | Wethrin | Well, if he's forced to leave office, that's good enough for me. |
| 19:29.56 | Wethrin | He does have kids, so they do need a father. |
| 19:30.30 | Wethrin | Eek. I'm starting to kinda like Java. |
| 19:30.31 | Leeds | Wethrin: that's pretty much what I meant, yes |
| 19:30.56 | Jenson | grrr msn news and mozilla dont get on, i think i'll use cnn |
| 19:31.18 | Wethrin | Bah. news.google and news.bbc |
| 19:32.04 | Jenson | i used to read cnn, but tend to read the news on a windows machine so use msn |
| 19:32.56 | murb | Wethrin: did you like it before you started your course? |
| 19:33.38 | Wethrin | I didn't have too much of an opinion on in. Only a mild aversion. |

| 20:35.41 | Tarragon | In the quest for knowldge I can report that 1999 Everard Daredevil beer (best before Oct 2001) is undrinkable. Owd Roger 1996 (best before Aug 1999) is fantastic! |
| 20:36.17 | Leeds | so if you're offline for a day or two we know why? |
| 20:38.39 | Tarragon | But seen as I fade in and out anyway and the keyboard is dying, how would you know? |
| 20:39.28 | Wethrin | Mmm. Bitshifts. |
| 20:44.26 | Tarragon | 4 cycle clock penalty on Intel P4, 0.5 for hift but 3cycle for setup. imul is sometimes better |
| 20:47.38 | Tarragon | How will the new M$ emails in Office 2003 that self destruct work? |
| 20:50.02 | murb | this computer will self distruct in 15 minutes |
| 20:50.13 | Leeds | sent encrypted, only readable by MS clients... then anything is possible, in theory |
| 20:51.38 | murb | have they not heard of copy and paste? |
| 20:51.46 | murb | or screenshots? |
| 20:53.17 | Jenson | murb: ah, but a windows machine will probably crash in the process |
| 21:00.10 | Jenson | whats the command to run a second X session? |
| 21:00.45 | Wethrin | startx -- :1 |
| 21:01.02 | Jenson | ffs, i just noticed that any user logged into my system has access to my home dir |
| 21:03.47 | Jenson | grr, bloody GUI, now i need to work out how to permissions in console yay |
| 21:04.19 | Wethrin | Whaaa? |
| 21:04.23 | Wethrin | Make sense, girl. |
| 21:04.50 | Jenson | well, i dont think other users, other than root are meant to be able to access my home dir lol |
| 21:08.32 | Wethrin | man chmod |
| 21:09.02 | Jenson | ive moved on from that now lol doing something else |
| 21:11.25 | Wethrin | Ah. You've fixed ti then |
| 21:12.43 | Jenson | yeh, and now ive been reminded about how to start a second X session i can let my mother use it without her whinging about the colourscheme, i did try to convince her to use her own login |
| 21:12.47 | Jenson | but it didnt work lol |
| 21:13.10 | Leeds | change your password, change the root password - make her use her own account |
| 21:13.29 | *** join/#gllug cupis (~paul@195.137.116.73) |
| 21:14.56 | Jenson | she doesnt know the passwords, i leave it booted up, if they reboot into windows then they can stay there |
| 21:16.12 | Wethrin | Heh |
| 21:16.15 | Leeds | password the bios - make it boot into Linux |
