sebsebsebDaemonFC: so you make themes?Mar 05 00:00
sebsebsebDaemonFC: yeah la Ora for Ubuntu would be niceMar 05 00:00
iantoWhat I don't get is why they say the new theme is "inspired by light" when it is in fact rather dark to my eyesMar 05 00:00
DaemonFCnoMar 05 00:00
DaemonFCI could probably build and package it again if I wanted toMar 05 00:00
DaemonFCstuff it in that empty PPA of mineMar 05 00:00
sebsebsebianto: I guess they mean the background, but loads of people will change thatMar 05 00:00
sebsebsebianto: so then they are left with a black theme, unless they change that as wellMar 05 00:01
bruce89does it really matter that much?Mar 05 00:01

sebsebsebbruce89: 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 withMar 05 00:02
DaemonFCschestowitz, 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 #boycottnovellMar 05 00:02
DaemonFClast thing you want is WMA by accident, lolMar 05 00:02
*bruce89 uses clearlooks glossy with dark background and blue selectionsMar 05 00:02
sebsebsebbruce89: ,but because  XP's theme is nicer looking than Ubuntu'sMar 05 00:03
*sebsebseb finds most propritary software to be great when it comes to graphicsMar 05 00:03
DaemonFCin other media players, it can be easy to get WMA by mistakeMar 05 00:03
sebsebsebin a way Microsoft are more of a computer graphics design company, than a software company, when it comes to what is good that they doMar 05 00:03
DaemonFCschestowitz, sebsebseb also noted that they are adding FLACs, which no other store has that I know ofMar 05 00:04
DaemonFChopefully that continuesMar 05 00:04
iantosebsebseb: I know of very few people who like teh default Windows themesMar 05 00:04
sebsebsebDaemonFC: that's nice, however I am not planning on buying music from the storeMar 05 00:04
DaemonFCI would if there was more FLAC selectionsMar 05 00:04
iantoIn fact the only person who I know who likes a default Windows theme is myself,  Windows ClassicMar 05 00:04
sebsebsebianto: I probably mean backgrounds mainly when I put stuff like that,  Windows comes with great backgrounds and suchMar 05 00:04
DaemonFCI don't want to buy lossy formats and MP3 especiallyMar 05 00:05
iantosebsebseb: Windows backgrounds are hardly "great"Mar 05 00:05
sebsebsebianto: Windows classic with a 3rd party theme, I know which one, can be pretty nice indeedMar 05 00:05
*bruce89 sighsMar 05 00:05
sebsebsebianto: they are better than the junk,  that Ubuntu is coming with by defaultMar 05 00:05
sebsebsebin later releases'sMar 05 00:05
sebsebseb8.10 is the last release, to have a rather nice default backgroundMar 05 00:05
iantoYou mean the default GNOME backgrounds like the grasss picture which I am rather fond of?Mar 05 00:05
sebsebsebianto: grass uhmmMar 05 00:06
sebsebsebjust checked the vmMar 05 00:06

sebsebsebthat one sucksMar 05 00:06
sebsebsebhoweverMar 05 00:06
sebsebsebthere's a nice one of a fieled with a blue skyhMar 05 00:06
sebsebsebwhich seems to be a Gnome background, because  you can get it from the Ubuntu repo as wellMar 05 00:07
sebsebseband it's here in Mandriva, that's what I am using at the moment, I really like that backgroundMar 05 00:07

Chips_B_MalroyRoy, 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_Malroythe second reason, is he has a job there.  I would not want to put that at risk.Mar 05 05:04
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy, It's not like Ubuntu has gone further than other distros re MonoMar 05 05:05
DaemonFCit's obviously not a good thing that they ship it, but they're not spamming it like Novell isMar 05 05:05
DaemonFCyou get as much Mono with Mandriva GNOME as you do in UbuntuMar 05 05:05
Chips_B_MalroyBeing said, Ubuntu, is not for me.  I will never, ever use MONO, or MOONBAT/moonlight, whatever its calledMar 05 05:06
DaemonFCDebian will be shipping Mono now tooMar 05 05:06
DaemonFCis what I heard anyway...Mar 05 05:06

Chips_B_Malroyso 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

Chips_B_MalroyCubezzz>  ok, let me ask you. If you accept that we are now in the worse depression since the Great Depression, what should we be paying for the price of gas?  Being there is right now a surplus, and a glut of gas on the market?Mar 05 07:03
cubezzzwell, if we go by 1970's prices and adjust for inflation it would be around $2 per gallonMar 05 07:05
cubezzzseems reasonableMar 05 07:05
*DaemonFC has quit (Remote host closed the connection)Mar 05 07:06
cubezzzif you go back to the 1920's prices and adjust for inflation the price would be $3 per gallonMar 05 07:06
Chips_B_MalroyIf 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
cubezzzthen for some reason the price spiked up after 2003Mar 05 07:06

*zoobab has quit (*.net *.split)Mar 05 12:58
DaemonFCoiaohm, So why don't they just buy a few more free floating shares, overrule the board, and get their vote?Mar 05 12:58
oiaohmBut there is risk forcing vote of the board.Mar 05 12:59
oiaohmopps shareholders.Mar 05 12:59
oiaohmIf you lose you have to sell up.Mar 05 12:59
DaemonFCthat they won't like the offerMar 05 12:59
oiaohmAnd leaveMar 05 12:59
DaemonFCwhy don't they buy all the free floating shares out there? It's cheaper per share than what they offered for the whole company? They'd probably own over 20% if they did thatMar 05 13:00
oiaohmFrom a hostile point of view you only do the vote of the shareholders if you know you will win.Mar 05 13:00
DaemonFCthat's 20% of the vote that they can put to favor the rest of the saleMar 05 13:00
DaemonFCthat way they don't have to convince that many individual shareholders to sellMar 05 13:01
oiaohmWho says they are not buying the free floating share up.Mar 05 13:01
DaemonFCI might sell my shares for 21% over market value given the death spiral Novell is inMar 05 13:01
DaemonFCit's unlikely that they'll return to that value on their ownMar 05 13:01

DaemonFCvaluable life lessonMar 05 13:49
DaemonFCthis is really to scare the shit out of them so they go to college right?Mar 05 13:49
DaemonFCohh, $4.25 an hourMar 05 13:50
DaemonFCso they get to undercut grown ups who need the work worseMar 05 13:51
DaemonFCterrificMar 05 13:51
DaemonFCevilMar 05 13:51
DaemonFCevil to the coreMar 05 13:51
schestowitzWOT?Mar 05 13:55
schestowitz$4.25 an hour?Mar 05 13:55
DaemonFCschestowitz, YesMar 05 13:56
DaemonFCIndiana has one of those laws tooMar 05 13:56
DaemonFCwhere they can pay people under 18 $4.25 an hour for 90 daysMar 05 13:57
DaemonFCbut the other laws on child labor are strict enough that companies don't usually bother dealing with themMar 05 13:57
DaemonFCand most kids would rather do anything than work at Walmart for $4.25 an hourMar 05 13:58
DaemonFCwho can blame them?Mar 05 13:58
DaemonFCschestowitz, That's what's so hideous and evil about that program...Mar 05 13:58
DaemonFCIt takes poorly educated minority youth and lets them skip class and make money for itMar 05 13:59
DaemonFCthey don't know they're being ripped off is what I bet is going onMar 05 13:59
DaemonFCand some politicians are getting bribes from WalmartMar 05 13:59
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[popey] Woo! Poked about a bit in compizconfig-settings-manager, just pressed 'yes' to all the massively over-wordy warning boxes and ALT+TAB works!Mar 05 14:00
DaemonFCschestowitz, 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 14:00
DaemonFCWalmart and local government is in the same league as thatMar 05 14:01
DaemonFCin this case, I think Walmart is bribing Detroit politicians to send then high school students who should be in class to work them for $4.25 an hourMar 05 14:02
DaemonFC$3 an hour less than it's legal to work an adult forMar 05 14:02
DaemonFCthey 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
DaemonFCso if they run the program for 1 year, Walmart could save $112,000Mar 05 14:05
DaemonFCthat's assuming 12 hours a week for each kidMar 05 14:05
DaemonFCand that they only do it at one high school and one storeMar 05 14:05
DaemonFCit's also a bunch of workers that never qualifies for health insurance, life insurance, etc.Mar 05 14:06
DaemonFCthey're young and probably can work faster than an adultMar 05 14:06
DaemonFCless likely to pull something and file a workers comp claimMar 05 14:07
oiaohmAlso more likely to screw up as well.Mar 05 14:07
DaemonFCdoubt itMar 05 14:07
oiaohmI have see the direct results of this idea of 90 hours of cheep laborMar 05 14:07
DaemonFChow do you screw up and clean a toilet wrong?Mar 05 14:07
oiaohmLeave bleach on the seatMar 05 14:08
DaemonFClmaoMar 05 14:08
DaemonFCthey give teenagers the dirtiest, nastiest, most demeaning jobs there areMar 05 14:08
oiaohmFill the paper wrong so it jams.Mar 05 14:08
oiaohmYes there is a long list of ways to screw a toilet up cleaning it.Mar 05 14:09
DaemonFCoiaohm, There's not that many hourly positions at Walmart that require much thoughtMar 05 14:09
DaemonFCthe closest thing I can think of are the department managersMar 05 14:09
oiaohmEven pricing items can cause big screwups.Mar 05 14:09
DaemonFCno it can'tMar 05 14:10
oiaohmHere it can because if the shelf price is wrong that is the price it has to be sold at.Mar 05 14:10
DaemonFCand the department manager sets the mod and labels the price on the shelfMar 05 14:10
oiaohmI 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
schestowitzYeah..Mar 05 14:10
DaemonFCthere's no way to override the price without a salary managerMar 05 14:10
DaemonFCthat would be someone like me :PMar 05 14:11
DaemonFCAnd if you override too many prices, that causes a lot of shrinkage.Mar 05 14:11
oiaohmShelf stacking there are ways even to screw that up.Mar 05 14:11
DaemonFCIf 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
oiaohmDon't underestimate the foolish of under trained staff.Mar 05 14:12
DaemonFCthe other thing that can get your reamed is overriding the time clock without a good reasonMar 05 14:12
DaemonFCthey get a report of who you allowed to clock in that the time clock rejectedMar 05 14:12
DaemonFCand will want to know why you're going over payroll budgetMar 05 14:13
oiaohmI saw a work for a dole (ie unemployment benifts idea here for the young.)Mar 05 14:13
DaemonFCif 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
DaemonFCalso, you can't clock in until at least 10 minutes before the shiftMar 05 14:14
DaemonFCand you get wrote up for having unauthorized overtimeMar 05 14:14
oiaohm90 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
DaemonFCtheres 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
DaemonFCoiaohm, 90 daysMar 05 14:15
oiaohmEven 90 days.Mar 05 14:15
DaemonFCdoesn't take 90 days to learn most of that stuffMar 05 14:16
DaemonFCI'd have them stocking shelves and cleaning the restroomsMar 05 14:16
DaemonFCless chance of accidents or costly errorsMar 05 14:16
oiaohmSkilled staff you don't have to check up on as much.Mar 05 14:16
DaemonFCoiaohm, I've fired people for being there too long and earning more money than the restMar 05 14:17
DaemonFCI have X payroll and if they are making 25-30% more than average, damn right I'll fire themMar 05 14:17
DaemonFCand I don't care if they have a familyMar 05 14:18
DaemonFCcause you know why?Mar 05 14:18
DaemonFCthey can re-apply and ask for their job backMar 05 14:18
DaemonFCat starting rateMar 05 14:18
DaemonFCand I've done that Mar 05 14:18
DaemonFCactually I do care, but I have to sit on thatMar 05 14:19
DaemonFCif I want to continue my employmentMar 05 14:19
DaemonFCso that's what I had to do for those yearsMar 05 14:19
oiaohmThat is still keeping some skilled staff that know how things should be working.Mar 05 14:19
DaemonFCoiaohm, I looked at how much they made out of global payroll and how hard they worked for itMar 05 14:19
DaemonFCit wasn't just how much they're paidMar 05 14:20
DaemonFCif they make 25% more than average but I think I'm getting half again as much work from them, I wouldn't fire themMar 05 14:20
oiaohmYep best workers best pay.Mar 05 14:20
DaemonFCanother 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 muchMar 05 14:21
DaemonFCthat assumes you have open positionsMar 05 14:21
oiaohmI saw case here of a saw mill clean up staff replaced by unskilled.Mar 05 14:21

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
