DaemonFC"A death row inmate who tried to kill himself last week by overdosing on pills as his legal challenges dried up was executed Tuesday for robbing and strangling his neighbor in 1994."Mar 17 01:04
DaemonFCThe death row version of "You can't fire me, I quit!!!"Mar 17 01:04
DaemonFCheheheMar 17 01:04
Diablo-D3Im not sure why they didnt just let himMar 17 01:05
DaemonFCcause then you get the anti-death penalty activists in a stirMar 17 01:06
DaemonFChas to be painlessMar 17 01:06
DaemonFCif he kills himself, they'll say he was suffering mental anguishMar 17 01:06
DaemonFCand that's cruel and unusualMar 17 01:06
Diablo-D3butMar 17 01:06
Diablo-D3he WAS suffering mental anguishMar 17 01:06
Diablo-D3his ownMar 17 01:06
Diablo-D3he killed someoneMar 17 01:06
DaemonFCwell, rightly soMar 17 01:07
Diablo-D3if he _wasnt_ suffering mental anguish, then hes a cold blooded killer and shouldnt have even made it to trialMar 17 01:07
Diablo-D3I mean, the state basically took away his ability to atone for his sinsMar 17 01:07
Diablo-D3and thats wrong, immoral, and violated his religious rightsMar 17 01:07
DaemonFCno they didn'tMar 17 01:07
Diablo-D3suicide is a perfectly acceptable way of atoning for sinsMar 17 01:07
DaemonFChe can pray to whatever gods he wants before it's timeMar 17 01:07
DaemonFChe can use his last words to apologize to the victims familyMar 17 01:08
Diablo-D3he may be on death row, but he has rights.Mar 17 01:08
Diablo-D3instead, he made everybody in the state of ohio murderers.Mar 17 01:08
Diablo-D3and now they will have to atone for _that_ sin.Mar 17 01:08
DaemonFCI support the death sentenceMar 17 01:08
Diablo-D3I don't.Mar 17 01:08
Diablo-D3We don't have that right.Mar 17 01:08
DaemonFCin fact, I think we're not applying it enoughMar 17 01:08

DaemonFCWhy would the government, any government, want more sick and disabled people that are a burden on it?Mar 17 02:13

*gargoyle-grin (~randerson@gentoo/contributor/gargoyle-grin) has joined #boycottnovellMar 17 02:13
DaemonFCbut it never is "quick death" because that's easy to prove it's not happeningMar 17 02:13
DaemonFCand sterilizations are something I could agree withMar 17 02:13
DaemonFCthe people that they should sterilize or kill would be the ones with 10 kids filling up a trailer and on all kinds of government handoutsMar 17 02:14
DaemonFCso they'd target that, not diet soda which everyone drinksMar 17 02:15
DaemonFCI find it convenient that these people claim thousands of deaths due to "aspartame poisoning" which doesn't exist and you stump them when you say "Name three"Mar 17 02:16

oiaohmDaemonFC:  compatiblitity is basically stalled by opengl version being locked too low until the glsl stuff works Mar 17 12:21
DaemonFCoiaohm, So most of it might be there, but they can't bump the GLSL version until it all works?Mar 17 12:21
DaemonFCI figured thatMar 17 12:22
oiaohmIe a development keystone is glsl support.  DaemonFCMar 17 12:22
oiaohmYep.  And the GLSL version blocks the opengl version from increasing as well.Mar 17 12:23
oiaohmSo 2.0 features might be fully functional but applciations cannot be told they are there until the GLSL works.Mar 17 12:23

DaemonFCyayMar 17 15:23
DaemonFCCopyright 2010 jono's momMar 17 15:24
DaemonFCactually, what makes that thing so horrible jono is not the idea behind itMar 17 15:24
DaemonFCbut how badly it conflicts with alternative programs the user may chooseMar 17 15:25
DaemonFCfor example, the me applet signs into Empathy and knocks Pidgin off all networksMar 17 15:25
DaemonFCit doesn't see "Oh, he has Pidgin open!" and adjust status appropriatelyMar 17 15:25
DaemonFCand while Pidgin can be started from the applet, it can't be minimized there, the program itself just closesMar 17 15:26
DaemonFCUntil Empathy decides to implement all the features Pidgin has, indicator applet should consider that many users don't want Empathy and do have PidginMar 17 15:27
jonoDaemonFC, sounds like a bugMar 17 15:27
jonoreported it?Mar 17 15:27
DaemonFCit should provide for that contingencyMar 17 15:27
jonothe knocking it offline thingMar 17 15:27
DaemonFCyeahMar 17 15:27
DaemonFCit got marked duplicate immediately and is not getting loveMar 17 15:27
DaemonFCso I just removed indicator-messages and have Pidgin in the notification areaMar 17 15:28
DaemonFCat least it works this wayMar 17 15:28
DaemonFCI tried removing indicator-applet first, but that nukes the volume iconMar 17 15:28
DaemonFCremoving indicator-messages leaves the indicator volume icon and gets rid of that little envelope thingMar 17 15:29
DaemonFCB-)Mar 17 15:29

DaemonFCjono, Forgive me for sounding crazy maybe, but shouldn't a GUI in theory, be the least complicated it has to be to get the desired level of functionality implemented?Mar 17 15:33
DaemonFCI fail to see how indicator made it into Ubuntu as-is, without that little gem being applied as a testMar 17 15:33
DaemonFCsee, indicator is not enabling new functionality, it's duplicating it or splitting it up into three or four different placesMar 17 15:34
DaemonFCforcing the user to play hide and seek in the name of saving a quarter inch of panelMar 17 15:35
DaemonFCand to pour salt in the wound, it doesn't work right with the user's preferred applicationsMar 17 15:35
DaemonFCand may cause them to die horriblyMar 17 15:35
DaemonFCthat's not trolling, it's what's going onMar 17 15:36

jono * able to scrub menusMar 17 15:38
jono * able to specify different panel specific iconsMar 17 15:38
jono * consistant APIMar 17 15:38
jonoI am not denying it still has bugs, but it is software - that happensMar 17 15:38
DaemonFCit has bugs, it is duplicative, it causes programs not Ubuntu default to malfunctionMar 17 15:39
DaemonFCthose are some pretty serious defectsMar 17 15:39
DaemonFCdo the benefits outweight these?Mar 17 15:39
DaemonFCThe impression I keep getting is "Go **** yourself, if it didn't come with Ubuntu we don't care, we don't want to hear it, go away"Mar 17 15:40
DaemonFC"Indicator is perfect, why can't you see that?"Mar 17 15:41
DaemonFCThere's a good chance that the first thing the user installs dies horribly due to your modificationsMar 17 15:42
DaemonFCyou embarrass the people that wrote that applicationMar 17 15:43
DaemonFCyou embarrass GNOMEMar 17 15:43
DaemonFCyou embarrass yourselvesMar 17 15:43
