#5556 Up↑ /4 Down↓ [Report] 2010-11-29 23:57 GMT
<sstangl> my mother recently dumped OpenOffice.org for MS Word, paying $80 (on sale), because MS Word has gradient in the background and OpenOffice.org is beige.
<sstangl> I don't think Microsoft has anything to fear :P
<dr|z3d> sstangl: I'd get another mom.
* dr|z3d smirks
<dr|z3d> My mom runs Linux. And loves it.
<kourge> the best part is that the last time I checked, OOo looks the best on Windows
<dr|z3d> (not that she had a choice)
<sstangl> My mother told me it wasn't pretty enough, and that if I wanted people to use it I should go into user interface design.
<Tannerbaum> okay...
<sstangl> She also went out and bought a bunch of incompatible peripherals, then complained when I couldn't support them.
<sstangl> I'm almost convinced she's trolling me c.c
<dr|z3d> Like I said, lose her!
<kourge> "What do you mean this PS3 controller doesn't work with Xboxes!" -

<mxiia> Mardeg, I had it in my previous install, I had to reinstall due to a dramatic packaging error due to gimp2.6 deleting an essential package therefore deleting half the essential packages... long story
<Mardeg> you're making linux sound so enticing
<dr|z3d> mxiia: Sounds like user error to me :)
<mxiia> dr|z3d, like I don't have permission? or what?
<dr|z3d> mxiia: Permission to hose your system? Sure you do ;)
<mxiia> dr|z3d, what do you mean?
<dr|z3d> mxiia: You know when you have to explain jokes, they cease to be funny?
<Mardeg> someone must have explained you ages ago then dr|z3d -

<Havvy>: Maybe have it so that if Live Chat is down, have IRC open up instead;
<Mardeg>: with a big warning: "you might encounter UNMODERATED FILTH"
<Redhat71>: s/UNMODERATED FILTH/Mardeg/
* Redhat71 run like hell...
<mzz>: mmm, a "you might encounter Mardeg" warning does have a certain ring to it
<dr|z3d>: mzz: I've already had that discussion :| -

<Mardeg>: irc via mibbit would be the next one I would have thought
<dr|z3d>: irc via mibbit should come before live chat.
<dr|z3d>: In fact, live chat should have a hookup to irc.
<Havvy>: Heya
<mzz>: heh
<Havvy>: Your resident Mibbit 'expert' here.
<Mardeg>: yay!
<mzz>: dr|z3d: have fun convincing Lucy that's a good idea :)
<Mardeg>: that's Havvy's job XD -

<ChillyEli> ummm....so my Firefox 3 installation just "auto-updated" to Firefox 2.0.0.2
<dr|z3d> ChillyEli: Are you sure it's not 3.0.0.2?
<ChillyEli> yup. It's updating to 2.0.0.15 right now...
<Havvy> Why would it auto-update to 3.0.0.2?
<Havvy> 3.0.0.2 doesn't exist.
<dr|z3d> Havvy: More likely it would do that than upgrade to 2.0.0.2.. either way, weird.
<Mossop_away> You think it is /more/ likely it would update to a version that doesn't exist than one that does? What are you on?
* dr|z3d chuckles and nicks Mossop_away's spliff. "Thx!"
