I think in TV and movies people say words written by script-writers, which is more like 'standard' English. But British people talk very fast and use many obscure expressions

Zacharee1

@terdon coming from a Greek, so you know it's true (I think I just created a paradox)

Rinzwind

typical brazillian: some politician got 20m to have those buildings made. He kept 5m. Told someone to make it and gave 15m. He kept 5m. and at the bottom nothing was built due to lack of money -O-

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind politician though

terdon

6:20 PM

@Zacharee1 Yeah, Xeno's paradox :P

Zacharee1

@terdon yeah

jokerdino

@Rinzwind that's so Indian.

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind lol nice

IanC

look, I know there are some issues in my country, issues enough that I don't agree we host the olympics

but I don't really enjoy hearing those "typical brazillian" stuff

Rinzwind

"See a Man About a Dog" is an english sentence most wont understand.
It is NOT about a man seeing a dog ;-)

Zacharee1

6:21 PM

@Zanna yeah, but in movies and such, they also speak pretty quickly and dramatically because of the acting. That and computer audio messes me up

terdon

@Rinzwind I really wish that were only typical of Brazil. Sadly, same crap goes down in the Mediterranean as well.

jokerdino

@Zanna yeah, they jabber way too fast.

Zacharee1

@IanC hmm. I can empathize. I think typical politician would fit better anyway

jokerdino

Due to Hollywood movies, I am pretty comfy with American English.

terdon

@IanC Ignore him, he's going all Dutch on us. On the other hand, in his country teachers need to draw a picture of the sun to teach school children what it looks like.

Zacharee1

6:23 PM

@terdon huh?

Rinzwind

LOL

terdon

@Zacharee1 Holland is, well, let's just say it's not very sunny.

Zacharee1

@jokerdino hey you! yeah, you motherf*****er. you better sit the f*** down and tell me what the f*** you think you're doing. That American English?

@terdon like London?

Rinzwind

well it has been 25+ for 3 weeks now and no clouds either :P

jokerdino

@terdon coming from someone who resides in London?

IanC

6:24 PM

a friend of mine is in holand right now

jokerdino

@Zacharee1 yeah, those beeps are so soothing

Zacharee1

@jokerdino ikr

we actually pronounce them irl

jokerdino

We have a beep song here.

Zacharee1

common myth that they're censors

Rinzwind

@jokerdino in 10 years americans use "bleep' in real lofe

terdon

6:24 PM

@jokerdino Nah, I'm in Athens. I swore to never go back to northern climes after my stint in the UK.

Zacharee1

it's tricky, but you get the hang of it

Seth

@terdon That's what scares me about the US. You even hint that anything is corrupt and you're laughed out as some conspiracy theory lunatic.

jokerdino

Beep has become a swear word in my city.

Zacharee1

@terdon sting?

terdon

@Zacharee1 stint

Zacharee1

6:25 PM

@Seth Go to Imgur. We have spambots who get to the front page with that stuff

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 he's a bankrobber ;-)

Zacharee1

lol

what happened?

Zanna

I'm jealous @terdon Greece is my favourite place of everywhere I've been. My uncle lives in Crete

jokerdino

Wait till you get there.

Zacharee1

and there's no money to corrupt anyone @Zanna

IanC

6:26 PM

@terdon you live in greece?

Zacharee1

>:P

terdon

@IanC Yes, for the past year and a half now.

Rinzwind

whaaaaaaaa got the "i am not a robot' dialogue _O-

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind are you in Tor?

jokerdino

@Seth you sound like a conspiracy believer.

Seth

6:27 PM

I knew it! Jorge took him over.

@jokerdino see what I mean?

jokerdino

@Seth Delete your account!

Rinzwind

Jorge? when? where?

Zacharee1

@Seth mayhap that was on purpose?

IanC

@terdon is the crisis there being handled? (as I said, I'm kind outdated about everything)

Seth

Apparently in the US human nature is different and greed doesn't exist o_O

Zacharee1

6:28 PM

@Seth where are you being told this?

terdon

The thing is that while I'm sure there is corruption in the US, just like everywhere else, it simply doesn't reach the kind of institutionalized levels you see in other places, so Americans complaining about corruption are not taken very seriously.

Zacharee1

I get my news from Imgur, and it's usually earlier and more accurate than TV or radio networks

jokerdino

Imgur news?

terdon

@IanC Oh, yes, it's being handled. It's just that it's being handled very badly.

Zacharee1

@terdon the problem is that's encouraging it to rise

Rinzwind

6:28 PM

@terdon the DNC thingy with Hillary suggests otherwise

Zacharee1

@jokerdino I'm serious

terdon

Like driving a car into a tree is still driving.

jokerdino

@Seth Well of course, it's the land of God.

Seth

@terdon sure. But within the US we're viewed as some kind of utopia or something..

Zacharee1

@terdon nice simile

terdon

6:29 PM

Hey, I'm not saying the US isn't corrupt. I wouldn't presume to know, for one thing.

@Seth That's just ridiculous, I see what you mean.

Seth

@jokerdino was, perhaps.

terdon

Say what?

How was the US ever the land of God? Which god?

Zacharee1

@terdon Christian

jokerdino

@terdon Mormon

terdon

@jokerdino OK, that one I'll buy.

Zacharee1

6:30 PM

lol

jokerdino

No, you buy the golden underwear.

Zacharee1

we have persecution wars, like who is the most persecuted

Seth

I don't mean to imply it ever was, but it certainly isn't now.

Zacharee1

while the people actually having trouble are ignored

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 in the US you have to fix your own problems. Not depend on others to fix them for you.

Seth

6:32 PM

@Rinzwind that's changing..

Rinzwind

@Seth yeah. Obamacare as a starter :-)

jokerdino

@Rinzwind do it like the Aussies.

Seth

yeah. We aren't immune to socialism :(

Rinzwind

@jokerdino throw a snake in the discussion?

jokerdino

What's wrong with socialism?

Rinzwind

6:33 PM

@jokerdino the man the follows up the man that started it

jokerdino

@Rinzwind Declare lower parameters to conclude there was no problem in the first place.

terdon

And what in the world does Obamacare have to do with socialism?

Rinzwind

he tends to be in it for himself and not be the idealistic person the 1st one was

jokerdino

Pretty much every State in the world is socialistic to a certain extent.

terdon

@jokerdino There's social democracy and there's socialism. Not the same thing.

Rinzwind

6:35 PM

@terdon in the US having government help less fortunate is considered socialism ;-)

IanC

thats actually social democracy

Rinzwind

in Europe we call it being humane ;-)

IanC

its like liberalism, but with a social focus

jokerdino

No, Governments would definitely have principles of socialism.

terdon

@Rinzwind Well, yes, OK. And in some places in the world they believe that a man with a tail is a god.

@jokerdino You mean state controlled industries?

jokerdino

6:36 PM

@terdon including those, yes.

Rinzwind

ok time for some food and afk'ing :-) Back later

IanC

see you later!

jokerdino

social democracy
noun
noun: social democracy

    a socialist system of government achieved by democratic means.

that's more clearcut than I ever said.

terdon

> Social democracy is a political, social and economic ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a capitalist economy, and a policy regime involving collective bargaining arrangements, a
commitment to representative democracy, measures for income redistribution, regulation of the economy in the general interest and welfare state provisions.[1][2][3] Social democracy thus aims to create the conditions for capitalism to lead to greater democratic, egalitarian and solidaristic outcomes; and is often associated with the set of soc…

@Zacharee1 Landscape is an Ubuntu product.

Zacharee1

but asking how it can be installed in other Linux distros?

Seth

take it to meta

edwinksl

tricky

Seth

not really.

if it works we should definitely support it. If it doesn't, an answer saying so does more good than closing ever would.

Zacharee1

8:59 PM

asked

@Seth but we're not helping them use it, we're essentially helping them install something on RHEL

that's my opinion

it's not really about the Ubuntu service, it's more about how to install that service, which, to me, makes it about RHEL and not Ubuntu

Q: Is this question off-topic?

I came across this question, asking how to install Landscape on CentOS/RHEL. I think it's off-topic, as, even though Landscape is a product from Canonical, it's asking how to install it on a distribution we don't support. Others think it's fine, since Landscape is an Ubuntu service. Since it ha...

forecast says there will be some waves tomorrow, so I decided to risk and see if they would arrive on the late afternoon
