rlemon

@John well windows and ubuntu were on separate partitions... so it only should make a diff to grub.

afaik they share no driver dependencies.

Bruno Pereira

William

03:43

Wow!

William

@RCan you send me a picture?

jokerdino

William

PO?

Roland Taylor

Post Office

jokerdino

03:44

Roland Taylor

that's how dumb it is here

jokerdino

Roland Taylor

"we don't make shirts and pens here, so pay up"

essentially

(not a bribe - policy)

jokerdino

oh.

William

I dont understand.

jokerdino

03:45

if you don't pay, then who gets the tshirt?

Roland Taylor

@William neither did I

@jokerdino it gets sent back to the original sender

William

So you have to pay for the shirt?

jokerdino

Oh.

Roland Taylor

that's how lame it is

@William pretty much

William

@RolandTaylor SO if I get a shirt it isnt relly free?

Roland Taylor

03:46

well, if you're in most countries it is :)

but not here

William

In the US you have to pay?

Roland Taylor

I'm in Barbados :)

jokerdino

@William You will get it for free.

Roland Taylor

@William aren't you in the US?

William

Yes.

SO is it free or isnt it?

jokerdino

03:48

Roland Taylor

William

You are a really nice person, @RolandTaylor. You make me want to e-strangle you.

Roland Taylor

@William lol, you don't want to see me on a bad day,

William

I don't want to see you on a good day, either.

Roland Taylor

:( does this mean, you don't think we should see each other :O?

William

No, I'm not going to star that. I'm feeling overly negative, too.

I'd take that as a no.
