[18:33] <dscassel> Heads up (esp. bjonkman)! I've got some Kwartzlab stuff I'm going to have to deal with tonight...
[18:34] <dscassel> I'm okay with going ahead with the meeting, but I'm probably going to be too distracted to chair effectively.
[18:38] <DarwinSurvivor> dscassel: what time is the meeting?
[18:47] <dscassel> 8pm
[18:47] <dscassel> (EST)
[19:07] <DarwinSurvivor> ok, thanks
[20:58] <khoover> just realized i still have yet to update to ocelot. does it still support GNOME Classic?
[21:04] <DarwinSurvivor> khoover: there's gnome-fallback which is fairly close
[21:05] <khoover> ...meeeeehhhhhhh.
[21:37] <dougdastew> ,hi
[22:19] <crond> this new shaw modem is so sexy.
[22:19] * crond slurps down packages via apt at crazy speeds.
[22:35] * CPhoenix mutters incoherently at crond
[22:35] <CPhoenix> How fast is "fast"?
[22:37] <crond> CPhoenix, about 4mb/sec from my current mirror
[22:38] <CPhoenix> I…am kinda jealous. With Telus' DSL I only get 200k, ish.
[22:39] <CPhoenix> (Of course, I can't get a faster connection unless I pay for their TV, which I'd never watch.)
[22:40] <crond> CPhoenix, seriously?. you'd have to pay for TV? I only have internet. If I had to have TV I'd be kinda annoyed.
[22:41] <CPhoenix> Yeah. They only give data access on fibre if you pay for the whole package. At least Telus doesn't throttle though. Shaw…I'm more wary about
[22:42] <crond> I dunno, haven't had any issues yet, but I can't say for the future.
[22:46] <CPhoenix> Cool. Of course if c-30 passes we're all screwed anyway.
[22:48] <crond> yeah
[22:48] <crond> off to Tor and i2p with me if that happens I guess.
[22:49] <crond> encrypt ALL the things!
[22:49] <CPhoenix> Yeah.
[22:49] <CPhoenix> The internet is gonna suck hard if c-30 or c-11 pass. *sigh*
[22:49] <crond> I already use ssl for everything I can too.
[22:49] <crond> yup :(
[22:49] <willwh> meh
[22:49] <willwh> stop torrenting copyrighted shit
[22:49] <willwh> :P
[22:49] <CPhoenix> I'm on a VPN. Gateway's in the states, so I'm good. lol
[22:49] <CPhoenix> Torrenting? Copyrighted stuff? NEVER!!! :-O
[22:50] <crond> willwh, I pay my fees on media to download music damnit :P
[22:51] <CPhoenix> LOL. That's awesome justification. "Hey, I already paid your levy on my CDs! Back-off!"
[22:52] <crond> so far as I can tell, download = okay. Uploading = bad.
[22:53] <crond> so I depend on users in countries with more freedom to share their media with me.
[22:53] <crond> "Furthermore, the Act contains a Private Copying exception that makes it legal to copy a sound recording onto an "audio recording medium" for the personal use of the person making the copy. This is supported by a levy on blank audio recording media, which is distributed to record labels and musicians"
[22:54] <CPhoenix> Interesting
[22:57] <willwh> crond: which is laughable
[22:57] <willwh> up = bad, down = ok
[22:57] <crond> willwh, hey, I didn't write the law ;)
[23:12] <CPhoenix> We have some silly laws here…what with the lack thus far of super-long mandatory minimums for everything under the sun…oh wait...
[23:50] <BobJonkman> Ubuntu-ca meeting in just over an hour. I've got to go travelling, might not be back in time for the start
[23:57] <dscassel> BobJonkman: Cool.
[23:57] <dscassel> I'm at kwartzlab. And I managed to get the board meeting postponed till 9:30.
[23:58] <dscassel> So you might have my attention after all..
[23:58] <BobJonkman> Since when are board meetings on TON?
