| 15:50.24 | dick_turpin | Gnome is for girls KDE is for men |
| 15:50.30 | boudiccas | are we back to using King James 1 english? |
| 15:50.40 | goibhniu | streuth! |
| 15:50.46 | boudiccas | i use kde and i'm not a girl, nor a man |

| 15:51.17 | boudiccas | too old to ba agirl :) |
| 15:51.22 | boudiccas | *be a girl |
| 15:51.45 | boudiccas | i seem to have 'fat finger syndrome' today :( |
| 15:52.01 | goibhniu | the clock is crap and transparency appears to be fake |
| 15:52.24 | boudiccas | transparency in what? |
| 15:52.29 | goibhniu | apart from that it works ... which is more than I can say for gnome right now |
| 15:52.35 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: I just use my system tray clock |
| 15:52.43 | goibhniu | it's icky |
| 15:52.51 | goibhniu | I like a vertical bar |
| 15:53.02 | boudiccas | use gkrellm then |
| 15:53.10 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Have you got windows fading enabled? |
| 15:53.10 | goibhniu | so it's all squished up and you have to go to lenghts to hide the shadow |
| 15:53.25 | goibhniu | transparency in konsole and katapult |
| 15:53.29 | goibhniu | it's only fake |
| 15:53.41 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: possibly not |
| 15:53.45 | boudiccas | too technical for me! i haven't a clue what they're talking about, so i'll go and get tea on the go then |
| 15:54.08 | goibhniu | fake transparency just means it sticks you'll wallpaper on as a background |
| 15:54.12 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Good thats what I had to switch off to get things to work |
| 15:54.20 | goibhniu | real transparency is that you can see whatever's behind it |
| 15:54.36 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: But I like seeing my Arch logo |
| 15:56.05 | goibhniu | ah true |
| 15:56.38 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: I very nearly had an excuse to install arch today |
| 15:57.49 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Here's an excuse; install it or I'm getting on a ferry and will be sticking a flaming cross on your lawn |
| 16:03.44 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Gone again? |
| 16:04.23 | goibhniu | ok .. well ... I'll boot it up on virtualbox |
| 16:05.00 | goibhniu | I don't want you to scare my herd of wild chickens off my lawn |
| 16:05.55 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: "Do you dare invoke wrath of Voodoo?" |
| 16:06.17 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: "Don't panic" |
| 16:07.07 | dick_turpin | And the Lord Turpin did say "Install to hard drive my son or I will smote thee" |
| 16:11.17 | Ch0Hag | Since X is sort of being mentioned, any idea why there would be a delay whenever galeon is [un]focused? |
| 16:11.25 | Ch0Hag | And why firefox is appaulingly slow. |
| 16:12.15 | dick_turpin | Ch0Hag: Yes I think my FF is slow opening too |
| 16:12.21 | boudiccas | maybe firefox has too big a cache and needs flushing |
| 16:12.25 | Ch0Hag | It's not opening. |
| 16:12.30 | Ch0Hag | Actually it loads fairly quickly. |
| 16:12.56 | Ch0Hag | But every other action is accompanied by X seemingly freezing for a second or two. |
| 16:13.15 | dick_turpin | Ch0Hag: Dunno |
| 16:13.19 | Ch0Hag | boudiccas: Not that. It's the same whether there's a *firefox or not. |
| 16:13.25 | Ch0Hag | s/*/./ |
| 16:13.45 | Ch0Hag | Or whatever it is. mozilla/pointless-subdir/weird-number/ |
| 16:13.50 | boudiccas | ah, ty ibot |
| 16:16.19 | goibhniu | Ch0Hag: does that happen for all windows? e.g. xclock? |
| 16:16.49 | Ch0Hag | Nope. |
| 16:16.55 | Ch0Hag | Only Galeon and firefox. |
| 16:16.59 | Ch0Hag | Probably epiphany too. |
| 16:17.15 | Ch0Hag | Everything else is as responsive as this otherwise bloody fast machine should be. |
| 16:17.34 | goibhniu | I find opening a new window with firefox to be very painful too |
| 16:17.38 | Ch0Hag | Even gimp with multi-MB images is faster than gecko. |
| 16:18.29 | Leeds | XUL! |
| 16:19.02 | Ch0Hag | I'll probably just work out how to use w3m-el properly. |
| 16:19.17 | goibhniu | epiphany is very fast |
| 16:19.18 | Ch0Hag | All this new-fangled GUI stuff just gets in the way. |
| 16:19.40 | goibhniu | elinks is very nice IMO |
| 16:19.42 | dick_turpin | Ch0Hag: Don't use it then |
| 16:21.18 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: you've been hanging out on #arch for too long |
| 16:21.48 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Do you think I've got the patter off to a T ? |
| 16:22.22 | goibhniu | spot on ... very elite |
| 16:22.24 | Ch0Hag | epiphany is only fast compared to ff. |
| 16:22.40 | goibhniu | for me .. epiphany opens a new window in a blink |
| 16:22.53 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: You don't know how happy thats made me ;-) |
| 16:23.09 | boudiccas | what version of ff? how many extensions has it got? |
| 16:23.31 | boudiccas | cos both of those can slow it down |
| 16:23.45 | boudiccas | in starting up |
| 16:24.04 | Ch0Hag | 2.0.0.6-1, none. |
| 16:24.06 | goibhniu | you would expect it wouldn't have to initialise them for every window it opens tho |

| 16:24.38 | Ch0Hag | I don't think it's strictly ff. I think ff is just taking advantage of some bug or other elsewhere. |
| 16:25.08 | goibhniu | it's definitely not so slow on windows |
| 16:25.31 | goibhniu | I believe it's very crap on mac |
| 16:26.13 | Ch0Hag | I've found it to be reasonable on a mac. |
| 16:26.24 | Ch0Hag | And, unlike Safari, not particularly lame. |
| 16:28.41 | goibhniu | you could use the profile manager to weed out unruly addons |

| 19:57.12 | sabinef72 | hope you will find good weather in Denmark |
| 19:59.20 | morsing | sabinef72: Never good weather in Denmark |
| 19:59.37 | morsing | But my nephews are there and I'm always looking forward to seeing them :) |
| 20:00.17 | sabinef72 | nice |
| 20:00.43 | sabinef72 | for me : no holidays this year and that's sound very strange for me |

| 20:12.34 | wethrin | no :) |
| 20:12.38 | wethrin | I don't like computers |
| 20:12.49 | morsing | :( |
| 20:12.58 | morsing | But Windows surely? |
| 20:13.09 | wethrin | All computers suck |
| 20:13.28 | morsing | Beer |
| 20:13.50 | clive-h | all operating systems and software suck |
| 20:16.20 | wethrin | Redundant. Operating systems are software. And therefore suck |
| 20:16.49 | wethrin | Firmware's special, though. It combines the suckiness of software with the suckiness of hardware |
| 20:17.29 | clive-h | Well |
| 20:18.20 | clive-h | Firmware is just very targetted software |
| 20:20.24 | morsing | sabinef72: You're not on facebook |
| 20:21.08 | clive-h | firmware != microcode |
| 20:22.26 | morsing | clive-h: You're not either |
| 20:22.45 | clive-h | indeed |
| 20:22.54 | morsing | Nice |
| 20:24.58 | wethrin | True, but firmware is still tied a lot more to the hardware than general software is |
| 20:24.58 | sabinef72 | morsing: facebook? what does it mean ? |
| 20:25.00 | morsing | Beer |
| 20:25.06 | morsing | sabinef72: www.facebook.com |
| 20:25.57 | sabinef72 | is it something like yahoo ? |
| 20:26.13 | morsing | No |
| 20:27.22 | clive-h | It is yes |
| 20:27.35 | clive-h | But not as tightly as microcode is |
| 20:27.50 | wethrin | true |
| 20:29.51 | clive-h | sadly the loadable buffers on Intel chips at least aren't very large |

| 20:37.08 | Ch0Hag | Nice. |
| 20:38.02 | goblimeyW | the bbc have done a nasty little deal with M$ |
| 20:38.30 | morsing | goblimeyW: No it's not |
| 20:38.47 | goblimeyW | ok |
| 20:39.15 | morsing | goblimeyW: I think someone already emailed the list |
| 20:39.21 | clive-h | siemens bs which was BBC tech |

| 20:39.39 | goblimeyW | thx morsing |

| 20:39.46 | clive-h | seem to be hiring developers to do an open source client |
| 20:39.54 | Ch0Hag | There's some kind of protest about it tomorrow. |
| 20:39.56 | morsing | clive-h: Are you happy? |
| 20:40.08 | clive-h | happy about what? |
| 20:40.11 | morsing | Life |
| 20:40.34 | clive-h | i'd rather be employed |
| 20:40.38 | morsing | Nice |

| 20:40.52 | morsing | www.mcdonalds.com/vacancies ? |
| 20:40.59 | morsing | :) |
| 20:41.21 | morsing | clive-h: What did you have for breakfast? |
| 20:41.26 | clive-h | McD pay about 40K less than I'd normally expect |
| 20:41.31 | clive-h | Muesli |
| 20:42.35 | clive-h | I only ever do cereals and copious amounts of tea for breakfast |
| 20:42.46 | morsing | Not the best really |
| 20:43.12 | clive-h | it's traditional enough here |
| 20:43.39 | antiphase | wethrin: BUT ITS THE BBC, they do everything for free! |
| 20:43.48 | clive-h | I couldn't handle fried food for breakfast except on Sundays |
| 20:44.37 | morsing | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wear/6944026.stm |
| 20:44.39 | clive-h | an open player would be tricky for the BBC |
| 20:44.56 | clive-h | But they'd just GeoIP limit stuff |
| 20:45.03 | wethrin | Maybe the BBC should put adverts into content that goes to non-UK IP addresses |
| 20:45.22 | antiphase | God luck on getting a list of "UK" IP addresses :) |
| 20:45.27 | morsing | +8 mugs of coffee during the day |
| 20:45.41 | clive-h | yes I know the problems with geoip |
| 20:45.59 | clive-h | Nothing would induce me to eat black pudding |
| 20:46.04 | goblimeyW | are you pro drm ? |
| 20:46.10 | clive-h | me? |
| 20:46.12 | clive-h | No |
| 20:46.25 | morsing | clive-h: Are you pro black pudding? |
| 20:46.26 | antiphase | I don't think many people are pro-DRM, it's just not that clear-cut though |
| 20:46.37 | morsing | ibot DRM |
| 20:46.38 | ibot | [drm] a cool new video card feature in the 2.4 kernel -- http://precisioninsight.com/dr/drm.html or the Direct Rendering Module, or called Direct Rendering Manager. "an acronym for "Digital Rights Management" ", or http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/drm.asp ... the best big black-caca from the ass of gates Just Say No(TM), or better known as "Direct ... |
| 20:46.42 | clive-h | However I do also know the licensing arrangements the BBC etc have |
| 20:47.29 | clive-h | I'm happy for you to be free to eat black pudding |
| 20:47.29 | goblimeyW | if there is something i am missing i'd be interested to know |
| 20:47.29 | antiphase | They don't even allow re-use of a lot of their existing material because of copyright issues; I'm not convinced DRM has got much to do with it at all |
| 20:47.30 | clive-h | I would personally never do so |
| 20:48.04 | antiphase | DRM is basically trivial to circumvent as we've seen repeatedly; why would they want to risk it? |
| 20:48.33 | clive-h | The licences do not not allow the BBC and other TV companies to redistribute some content outside the UK |
| 20:48.45 | clive-h | Sky have exactly the same restrictions |
| 20:49.13 | clive-h | it's analogous to DVD Regions |
| 20:50.02 | antiphase | It doesn't seem to stop pretty much everything of interest being torrentable or on Usenet wihin minutes of broadcast |
| 20:50.18 | clive-h | Well yes |
