i started laughing at couple of meters, then laughed harder at missing planes.

Lucio

Yupi! I found the ê on my keyboard!

Now I can say it -> você

nice

hbdgaf

My keyboard doesn't have a ê key

Lucio

You only need one of this

:P

hbdgaf

>.<

Lucio

jk

Another one -> ã

@hbdgaf não, it does não

hbdgaf

why is it that european languages need accent marks like the cedille and the accent-aigue? sorry that's the four years of french coming out. i don't know how to express the wavy lines used in spanish and portuguese

Lucio

I am so used to them that I can explain it to you...

here we go

Spanish is hard.

Done :)

hbdgaf

you owe me a keyboard

Lucio

hahaha, I'm kidding

hbdgaf

i meant i laughed, and the fluid from my mouth wound up on the keyboard. causing a malfunction. was said in jest. anyway...

Lucio

lol

I'm writing. let me concentrate

Spanish is hard. You may use 3 span. words to state 1 eng. So having this 3x1 rule in mind, you should note that in the reverse case you may have 1 *span.* word meaning 2 eng. diff. words according to the Accent. This is because the meaning is the same, but not the *target* of the meaning. To understand this better you will need an example, so here is it:

SPAN: tu
ENG: you
SPAN: tú
ENG: your
*RCS:
tu eres un tonto -> you are a fool
tú auto -> your car

*RCS means real case scenario

And the 3x1 rule in action:

ENG: who owns what?
SPAN: Quien es dueño de que?

ENG.length = 3
SPAN.lenght = 5

hbdgaf

04:14

I know. Other languages use accents and verb/noun conjugations/states to express disambiguation instead of context.

Lucio

In other words, English is simple. But you have to be careful, because eng. people aren't afraid of Foreign people as happens in the other way around.

hbdgaf

I'm not sure what that last bit really meant, but I'll take a break and come back to it. You still have my email to tag me back when you want to...

Lucio

As english native, you (I'm not saying specifically you) assume that everyone speak it and have to be like that. You just never think/consider the idea that english isn't the main.

That is how the 98% of english native consider it.

Hi

What is kambing.ui.ac.id/iso/ubuntu-repository/12.04

@Seth It's precise repository?

Seth

I don't know.

I'm not even sure what language that is.

xiaodongjie

@Seth Sorry.

I think that It's binary repository for 12.04.
It's right?

Seth

I have no idea.

xiaodongjie

@Seth Oh, then

How to get whole repository for Ubuntu precise?

Seth

As in?

Sorry I need to go now.

Space (punctuation)

In writing, a space ( ) is a blank area devoid of content, serving to separate words, letters, numbers, and punctuation. Conventions for interword and intersentence spaces vary among languages, and in some cases the spacing rules are quite complex. In the classical period, Latin was written with interpuncts (centred dots) as word separators, but that practice was abandoned sometime around AD 200 in favour of scriptio continua, i.e., with the words running together without any word separators. In around AD 600–800, blank spaces started being inserted between words in Latin, and that pra...

@NathanOsman So if you tell you the log to add and what tag wiki can you do it

Nathan Osman

Probably.

Andrew

Nathan Osman

Yup.

Done - it just needs approval.

xiaodongjie

hi

mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu is repository of Ubuntu. It's right?

Nathan Osman

@Andrew: Great job, BTW.

xiaodongjie

then It's http.

Nathan Osman

Yes.

xiaodongjie

I want ftp repository as same that.

Andrew

Thanks it only took me like 1 1/2 hours

xiaodongjie

where can i find it?

Nathan Osman

What country are you in?

Andrew

FInd what?

Nathan Osman

@xiaodongjie: According to your profile, you are in China; so try this.

Andrew

@NathanOsman did you have issures with submitting that edit to the tag wiki

xiaodongjie

@NathanOsman 谢谢。

Andrew

Is anyone on?

hbdgaf

well, i must say... playing dead island to classical with all in game sounds and music muted is a slightly different experience. kind of weird a little, but fun nonetheless.

something about harpsicord and an electrified baseball bat just makes your brain stretch in weird ways ;)

Journeyman Geek

electrified... what?

hbdgaf

it's a thing. in the game you modify crude weapons in comical ways. so yes, electrified bat

@NathanOsman why on earth would you do that...

Nathan Osman

Do what?

and Why an error occurred with a following message?

why? I don't really know.

undefined reference to XYZ means you have a linker/linking problem. includes let it compile, but the linker didn't find an object in its search path with that symbol exported.

there is a weird bug that makes anything visual start jumping

hbdgaf

19:10

i've been getting weird crashes from chromium recently.. but i haven't had visual anomalies. what's the trigger?

Luis Alvarado

for example when I go to nautilus and I edit the name of a file or folder, the minute I add or delete a letter it begins jumping between having the letter and not having it

like a rendering bug between what was there before and what is new

hbdgaf

oh... i run xubuntu, not ubuntu mainline.

thunar works fine though ;) guessing it's a unity thing.

Luis Alvarado

I see...

I think I can record and make the error appear on this chat

let me see if I add one more line

No error yet....

Got it. Error found ;)

OMG I recorded the error using Kazam but on the video the error is not shown. It all looks perfect

@Rinzwind i tried scsiadd -s and got this error: scsiadd: command not found
