I really don't think that any of us have the right to kill, so arming the people, is not right.

user136984

If you don't want murder, then don't encourage its methods if that is their only real purpose.

geez what's with that blue flagging all of a sudden?

user136984

@Rinzwind: Which blue flag?

@ParanoidPanda I get those due to high rep ;)

user136984

Right, but where was it, here?

7:02 PM

I live in a country that has outlawed handguns. Rest assured that the gangs have never had any problems getting their hands on guns...

yeah same as those orange ones but those are blue

We're currently in the midst of a rather large scale gang war.

user136984

As they say...

user136984

Make Love, not War.

@jrg is really going to have a fit when he sees how far off-topic this went :)

7:04 PM

@NathanOsman hey we got those too! there are 3 biker gangs here that have killed at least 4 of them over the past 3 months. We also have gang wars (about 10 assasinations of criminals over the past 2 years or so). And some where done with machine guns. Still see no reason for me to own a gun ;)

@NathanOsman move the chat >:=D

and it is not like someone is asking about Ubuntu at the moment :-P

user136984

@NathanOsman: Then why ping him?! :D

user136984

:P

Why not? :P

In Germany they sell guns that are actual guns but modified to shoot pellets. Takes about 30 minutes to undo the modification D:

user136984

Oh dear...

user136984

7:08 PM

You and your guns!

Perfectly legal to sell in Germany; illegal to sell in Holland. Illegal to modify in both countries. But it is very easy for us to get them.

user136984

Why can't you just make Towels instead!

user136984

Pet Owls!

user136984

And make sandwiches!

Q: Ubuntu 6.06 (yes 6.06) on IBM Thinkpad A31 2652

This is a "museum" PC, so i do not need up to date software. I just wanna know if Ubuntu 6.06 Gnome 2, with alternative CD will work. Ubuntu 4.10 worked fine, so I want to know about 6.06. It has 128MB RAM, 20GB HDD, Mobile P4 1.6GhZ. Thank you.

user136984

7:09 PM

@Rinzwind: Yes, I was just about to ask if I should vote to close that one... :D

yeah

How are you guys on this glorious day o/ ?

Been playing The Witcher 3 most of the day. D:

forgot to get food :X

Isn't that the one that AMD was up in arms over?

so now I am browsing thuisbezorgd.nl

user136984

7:14 PM

@NathanOsman: Everyone is up in arms with you! :D :P

@Rinzwind :3 gotta keep yourself stuffed, even MLG pros need energy for gaming

Lololol.

@ParanoidPanda I see what you did there.

lol

user136984

;D

I've seen you guys talking here about guns and stuff. I carry a knife usually, but considering getting a gun in future

7:15 PM

@Serg well if you get killed by a gun I do not accept any claims from you :+D

oooh spare ribs sounds good :-)

@Rinzwind hehe, I'll be careful, I promiz

O_O spareribs ? whear ?

I've been trying to watch Markiplier's stream, but it lags sooo bad

@Serg from the link I posted >:=D they are now inbound :D

Yesterday I thought mv -i had a bug, so I've sent a message to coreutils, and got like two responses already that -i interactive only for overwriting. #read the damn man page

lol

user136984

:D

7:22 PM

@Rinzwind My friend, a chinese lady, cooks pretty good spareribs . When I was in like 2nd year of college, she'd bring us some of the stuff she cooked. T_T getting kinda nostalgic here

I have a japanese girlfriend that can cook the most amazing things :D

Stop, you guys are making me hungry :P

O_O Asian food is awesome

@NathanOsman as if you need us for that

@Serg I eat Japanese 1 time a week here izumi-roermond.nl

oops

@NathanOsman I'd mail you the cookies, but they'll go bad by the time they arrive

7:24 PM

@Serg his browser would refuse them.

user136984

Pelmeni are great!

@Rinzwind looks yumzy !

@ParanoidPanda :D I love pelmeni , though dont eat them a lot any more

and cheap. 30 euro for 2.5h all you can eat and 2 1l bottles of water :D

denver-sushi.com/All-You-Can-Eat-Menu.htm

That's where I go for sushi

@Serg explain the "buy 1 get 1 free" when it is "all you can eat" >:-D

7:29 PM

baking homemade bread here. My mouth is watering :D

funny thing: almost all of those on their list I can get here too :D

That's Happy "Hour". From 4:30 pm to 7 pm if you buy beer , you get one free

ah. ours only has Japanese beer and Sake >:-D

I like happy hour. got drunk once, didn't go to college lecture

user136984

@Seth: Ooh, I bake bread too! What kind do you bake? :)

7:31 PM

Artisan mostly :)

@Seth my dad bakes bread sometimes. Pretty cool

Great book the revolutionized my bread baking, for anyone interested: artisanbreadinfive.com

Once you start baking it the stuff at the store tastes like sand.

user136984

I have learnt to make a number of different types of sweet, and savoury loafs, and am going to try cake baking soon too! :)

:D

7:48 PM

@Seth posting naughty stuff again ?

@Serg never have ;p

just decided to move it elsewhere.

Can I get a VTR here? askubuntu.com/a/627457/44179

8:06 PM

current status: me and spare ribs are separated

@Rinzwind Nooooo , come back, spareribs !!! :3

current status: merger succeded

ugh, why the freaking twitch is soo laggy !

user136984

8:49 PM

I'm sorry, but what is this guy talking about? My problem? Which problem?

user136984

your problem is so defferent with mine @ParanoidPanda — omid azami 31 mins ago

user136984

What, does he think that because I edited and improved the clarity of his question that it's an act of "I've got this question too"?

Probably.

user136984

A: Does it contain some private informations?

TL;DR: you're safe enough Boot Repair report that you have linked there only lists the layout of your hard drive and bootloader settings. This is quite low level information that releals nothing useful about you as far as crackers are concerned. The only tiny bit is on line 997, where it shows...

What you guys think ?

9:04 PM

You have given a great answer I think.

@Serg ditto.

yay ^_^

9:23 PM

speaking of hacking, I've been lurking on security.stackexchange.com and there's been a link to video posted from like 1996 or so. The japanese basically developed a setup with a regular PC and a huge antenna that would capture magnetic waves or whatever that surround VGA cables, so basically they could see what's on the other PC's screen, while not being connected to it at all ! that was quite impressive sight.

I wonder if it's also possible with the now common HDMI.

@chili555 I'd guess it is, since HDMI still sends electrical signals , which do have magnetic field. Small, but still . . . .

Nice idea

No new questions since three minutes :/

4 minutes

hey @chili555! I saw someone in a question say that the firmware-b43-installer required an internet connection. Is that true?

That doesn't make much sense to me..

@Seth It sure does. I understand that Broadcom considers the firmware proprietary. It is therefore outside the FOSS GPL umbrella.

There are work-arounds, however.....

Until Broadcom come knocking on my door, that is.

9:38 PM

@chili555 that's a ripoff :/

Looking at this question here:

Q: Custom ubuntu install to enable wifi on inspiron-1501 w/o wired ethernet

I am helping a small non-profit install ubuntu on some (40) donated inspiron's. To get wifi running I need to install some additional packages: b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer. I would like to create an install CD or USB stick that does not require a wired internet connection. Unfor...

ubuntu wifi system-installation

@Seth I am looking for the easiest explanation of the "work-around." If you like it, feel free to add it to your comments/answer.

Just a few moments...looking...

Cool, thanks!

ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2277779&highlight=b43.zip

^^@Seth

Post #7

ah, so someone extracted the contents and is hosting it. I see ;)

Exactly. I wonder who 'someone' might be...hmmm.

9:46 PM

By the way, while there is an opportunity, may I just send my fanboy vibes @chili555 ? While I was still just starting with ubuntu, and been looking at muru's and chili's answer around here and ubuntuforums, and was like wow, these guys are cool

I assume your person could place the firmware in /lib/firmware/b43 before he built the custom install media and be all set.

@Serg I am humbled by your very kind comments. Thank you.

^_^

@Seth I assume, if he/she preinstalls the firmware, the wireless will work OOTB.

user136984

Oh dear...

user136984

Something rather amusing just happened... :D

9:58 PM

@ParanoidPanda please enlighten us :3

user136984

@Serg: I was typing in my password, and couldn't understand why it was rejecting it, it turned out that my keyboard had randomly switched to Russian! :D

user136984

I literally tried 10 times!

user136984

And I was trying to kill a process which was unresponsive and destroying my machine's ability to function! :D

In soviet russia, keyboard switches you XD

LOLOL!

10:00 PM

😂

Sounds like the user needs juju

Q: System Center Configuration Manager for Ubuntu?

Anybody knows if Ubuntu has a tool like: "System Center Configuration Manager" from MS? I want to remotely distribute software. Thanks in advance.

10:55 PM

@seth wow. Just wow.

@NathanOsman so I just am in shock that the discussion was had here.

:P

Less that it didn't involve tempers and hurt feelings.

I knew we were going to hear about this.

LOL

You seem to be doing a good job of self-policing the topic yourselves.

No pun intended.

Heh.

10:59 PM

How about the right to arm bears(and pandas)
