22:27 <@atoponce[UT]> it's basically a central place of communication for all state locos
22:27 < desertc> I like to say I went to a religious school, in Rochester. When the cold air picks up over the academic quad in the morning, all you hear is: Ooooh, Lordy! Ooooh, mercy!
22:27 < lugnut64[OK]> PinkFreud: you can get Vista SP1 now?
22:27 < eddieftw> no it's not tyche[AZ]
22:27 < PinkFreud> dthacker[NE]: meh, it's to give it a try. vmware silliness.
22:27 < eddieftw> it's awesome
22:27 < hal14450> atoponce[UT], seems like a great idea to me
22:27 < dthacker[NE]> It wasn't me. I've been windows free for five years.
22:27 < tyche[AZ]> eddieftw: Yea it is. It doesn't stay on the shovel.
22:27 < [NY]calimer> must not be a lot of sunlight in your place then
22:27 < PinkFreud> lugnut64[OK]: got it through my employer.
22:27 < untagetra[UT]> 2.38 is bad on a load average? I see that a lot more than I should then.
22:27 < hal14450> once the dust settles we can probably help eachother out a bit more
22:27 <@atoponce[UT]> hal14450, it's been very successful. we've gotten locos in every state just about, and knowledge circulates well
22:27 < [IN]visuald> well I must depart....
22:27 <@atoponce[UT]> [IN]visuald, thx for coming
22:27 < PinkFreud> untagetra[UT]: on a quad core machine, it's not bad at all
22:27 <+greg-g[MI]> hal14450: plus we just hang out and talk about whatever interests us. and if you feel that what you want to talk about is not "on topic" there is always #ubuntu-us-offtopic

22:39 < erstazi> atoponce[UT]: if I change my nick, other people in other channels will be questioning me for why I need to note

22:39 <@atoponce[UT]> erstazi, :)
22:39 <+greg-g[MI]> rick_h__: I was just being hammered on by jcastro to be a sheep and change my hackergotchi 20 minutes prior, I can only take so much peer pressure
22:40 < ianmcorvidae> yeah, same deal for me. I'm in other channels that would ask and that would distract from this and that's no fun.
22:40 < desertc> hal14450: Do you go to Nick Tahoes?
22:40 <+nealmcb[CO]> the other disadvantage of changing nicks is losing cool cloaks

22:40 < gcleric[NM]> nealmcb[CO]: if you are a member.
22:40 < LaserJock> what's shakin' people?
22:40 < desertc> jcastro: you're a big vista fan aren't you?
22:40 < lamalex[PA]> kdubois: if they can't figure it out, they probably shouldn't be on the computer
22:40 <@atoponce[UT]> LaserJock, welcome
22:40 < jcastro> desertc: I don't hate it
22:40 < [CA]Yasumoto> heya LaserJock

22:49 < snap-l[MI]> Planning on going to OLF
22:49 <@atoponce> vorian, maybe. depends on if they send me there or not

22:49 < kdubois[MI]> vorian: absolutely, where to sign up?
22:49 < ianmcorvidae> but that's rather unlikely :)
22:49 <@atoponce> vorian, is it free?
22:49 <+etank[KY]> which i dont plan on being dead

22:50 <+etank[KY]> atoponce: that and a training pass for the LPI i think
22:50 <@atoponce> untagetra[UT], just come to meetings and have fun
22:50 < snap-l[MI]> Anyone planning on being at Penguicon (who isn't in MI, because you're all just expected to come. :) )
22:50 <+etank[KY]> atoponce: could be wrong on that part though
22:50 < vorian> schultmc[IN]: no problemo
22:50 < desertc> vorian: I got lured into helping last year by a troop carrying cake through the Columbus streets. But you know what? The cake was a lie! I hope I get some cake this year.
22:50 <+boredandblogging> untagetra[UT]: help out wherever you can
22:50 <+etank[KY]> i plan on doing the LPI1 at this years'

22:53 < LDwayneS[PA]> tritium[NM]: I know that and you know that..but HR doesn't...LOL
22:53 <@atoponce> that would depend on who you ask, i guess
22:53 < tritium[NM]> LDwayneS[PA]: :)
22:54 < tritium[NM]> atoponce: like people with engineering degrees
22:54 <@atoponce> being an RHCE examiner, i can tell you that this ain't no MSCE. you're actually proven you can administer a system
22:54 < snap-l[MI]> MCSE = Microsoft Certified Somewhat Enterprisey.
22:54 < desertc> jms1989[LA]: so the poor web designers can stay employed
22:54 <+greg-g[MI]> haha
22:54 < LDwayneS[PA]> atoponce: so..it should be Red Hat Certified Administrator..
22:54 <@atoponce> LDwayneS[PA], there is already an RHCA: red hat certified architect
22:54 < tritium[NM]> heh
22:55 < lamalex[PA]> haha
22:55 <@atoponce> which is literally 5x harder than the RHCE
22:55 < eddieftw> i want to learn RHCA, but im not sure yet
22:55 < LDwayneS[PA]> atoponce: I'm sure..
22:55 < snap-l[MI]> RHCH = RedHat Certified Hawsome

22:55 < vorian> lol
22:55 < untagetra[UT]> atoponce: I think I'll look into joining the Utah LoCo then...but for now, I think I better go do homework. Thanks, it's been fun
22:55 < tyche> I'd say RHCS, but people would replace sysadmin with a naughty word.
22:55 <+greg-g[MI]> take care untagetra[UT]
22:55 < untagetra[UT]> Thanks greg-g[MI]
22:56 <@atoponce> untagetra[UT], np. see you around

22:56 <@atoponce> LaserJock, meh. how about mailing lists or forums?
22:56 <+nealmcb> jcastro 5-a-day looks like a great idea. I curious why you have to report bugs via the app - can't the stats just be pulled off launchpad?
22:56 <+etank[KY]> LaserJock: how ya been
22:56 < desertc> jms1989[LA]: I know, I run drupal too and it is complex to make changes
22:56 < tritium[NM]> LaserJock: we have a similar problem in NM.
22:56 <+greg-g[MI]> nealmcb: I've thought the same question
22:57 <+greg-g[MI]> nealmcb: specifically from the "view karma log" or whatever page it is
22:57 < LaserJock> atoponce: well ... the mailing list has 2 emails ... ever
22:57 <@atoponce> heh
22:57 < ianmcorvidae> The problem we have is that we have lots of active people who have great ideas but seem to have trouble implementing most of them :)
22:57 < tritium[NM]> We get a lot of offtopic emails on our mailing list.
22:57 < desertc> What do you guys think about organized LPI study groups?
22:58 < ianmcorvidae> We only have our newsletters on our mailing list
22:58 < desertc> Or Ubuntu certs when they come out
22:58 < ianmcorvidae> but IRC is quite active, so
22:58 <@atoponce> vorian, will there be ubuntu certs going on at ohio linux fest?
22:58 < ianmcorvidae> I'd love to do a study session sometime, if just to teach others stuff :)
22:58 <@atoponce> that's really what i want
22:58 < Heartsbane> desertc: works for me
22:58 < vorian> atoponce: yepper
22:58 < LDwayneS[PA]> desertc: I'd be up for a study group!
22:58 <@atoponce> vorian, know the price?
22:59 < ianmcorvidae> is there any sort of guide for Ubuntu cert yet
22:59 < vorian> atoponce: but you have to be LCP 1&2
22:59 < vorian> atoponce: like $100
22:59 < ianmcorvidae> atoponce: 300 for LPI1, 100 additionall for Ubuntu
22:59 <@atoponce> vorian, have to already have them, or just pass them too?
22:59 <+etank[KY]> atoponce: last year i think it was pretty cheap
22:59 < ianmcorvidae> already have them, atoponce
22:59 <@atoponce> meh
22:59 < ianmcorvidae> well, you CAN pass them there too
22:59 < LaserJock> any idea on how to get some spark in Ubuntu NV?
22:59 <@atoponce> ok. that's better
22:59 < ianmcorvidae> either is acceptable, basically
23:00 < LaserJock> my guess is that it just needs a good leader
23:00 <@atoponce> LaserJock, do you have f2f meets?
23:00 < LaserJock> atoponce: nope
23:00 < vorian> Ohio Linux Fest is the awesomest
23:00 <+etank[KY]> atoponce: they offer a training day on friday, conf on saturday, tests on sunday
23:00 <+etank[KY]> vorian: ++
23:00 < ianmcorvidae> face to face does help a lot
23:00 < desertc> LaserJock: do meetups at the Star Trek Casino and the Museum of Nuclear Weapons Testing
23:00 <@atoponce> etank[KY], cool. i should definitely go then, just for that if nothing else
23:00 < vorian> then Penguicon, (right jcastro?) ;-)
23:01 <@atoponce> LaserJock, sounds like you just need some good meets. maybe hitting up a datacenter or linux cluster for a field trip
23:01 < jcastro> vorian: I love both.
23:01 < vorian> weee
23:01 <+boredandblogging> LaserJock: spam...err...advertise as much as possible
23:01 < LaserJock> hmm
23:01 < snap-l[MI]> Penguicon and Ohio Linux are different shows
23:01 < jcastro> vorian: penguicon is a great weekend. Ohio Linuxfest is a great one-day event.
23:01 < chuckf> LaserJock, here in md the best meets we have a dinner meets
23:01 <@atoponce> LaserJock, yeah. hit up the LUG mailing lists as well
23:01 < tyche> boredandblogging: LOL
23:01 < LaserJock> I need to find somebody to do that ...
23:01 < LaserJock> :-)
23:01 < snap-l[MI]> Ohio Linux is 100% Linux conference
23:02 <@atoponce> heh
23:02 <+etank[KY]> atoponce: yeah, and it would be good to actually meet you too
23:02 < snap-l[MI]> Penguicon is 100% nerdfest.
23:02 < vorian> jcastro: OLF-U sounds to be a bigger event this year
23:02 < jcastro> I think ohiolinux is a better linux show ... but on the otherhand penguicon has things like Tron-guy.
23:02 < jcastro> which is just awesome
23:02 < chuckf> LaserJock, do you have any LUGs you can work with?
23:02 < vorian> tron guy
23:02 < vorian> :)
23:02 < desertc> snap-l[MI]: Notacon is coming up, too
23:02 <+etank[KY]> snap-l[MI]: nerd is a dirty word. use geek instead :)
23:02 < jcastro> yeah, tron guy, hahah
23:02 -!- jacob [n=jacobmp@ubuntu/member/jacob] has quit ["later"]
23:02 < snap-l[MI]> Sorry, I mean geekfest.
23:02 < vorian> I've seen the pics
23:02 < desertc> geek is defined as an outcast - nerd means brainy!
23:02 < jcastro> vorian: I think they complement each other well, penguicon in the spring, ohio in the fall
23:02 < vorian> and the large viking women
23:02 < LaserJock> chuckf: well, there are 2 and one got mad at me and started a "Ubuntu sucks" flame fest and the other never responded :-)
23:02 < jcastro> good excuses to party
23:03 < vorian> :)
23:03 < snap-l[MI]> Sorry, I aspire to the true meaning of geek, which means I better start practicing biting the heads off of chickens and busking.
23:03 <@atoponce> etank[KY], unfortunately, there's no training in KY for red hat...
23:03 < LaserJock> the one in my area is like 5-10 people and it's not organized at all
23:03 < chuckf> LaserJock, that bites
23:03 < desertc> mmm... chicken
23:03 < vorian> atoponce: what about TN?
23:03 <+etank[KY]> atoponce: there is nothing in KY
23:03 <@atoponce> vorian, nope. none there either
23:03 <+etank[KY]> atoponce: it sucks to be a geek here.
23:03 < PinkFreud> large viking women?! where?!!?!?

23:04 <+etank[KY]> atoponce: i would love to get a Linux Conf here
23:04 < sontek> etank[KY]: thats all you need
23:04 <+etank[KY]> sontek: that dont count for us geeks though :(
23:04 <+etank[KY]> i dont gamble
23:04 < sontek> etank[KY]: yeah, but horse racing has a large tech industry
23:04 < r2d2rogers[LA]> anyone got advice for trying to help jumpstart neighboring state loco's?
23:04 < r2d2rogers[LA]> I'
23:04 < sontek> etank[KY]: I used to work for a company that wrote handicapping software

23:04 < vorian> w00t Arkansas!
23:05 < tyche> etank[KY]: You don't have to gamble. Just follow the horses. That's gamble enough. And watch where you step, please.
23:05 <+etank[KY]> jcastro: got to get the job there first

23:05 <+etank[KY]> jcastro: i am willing to move for a good job
23:05 < r2d2rogers[LA]> vorian: at least AZ is represented here... or ppl might have wondered at my definition of "neighboring"
23:05 < jcastro> etank[KY]: then stay away from michigan, there are no jobs here, heh
23:06 < desertc> LDwayneS[PA]: best limestone caves in the country in Kentucy
23:06 < klb[KY]> huge, they are
23:06 < klb[KY]> some might even call them Mammoth
23:06 < LDwayneS[PA]> desertc: Yup..and one of the best (if not the best) smallmouth lakes in the country too.
23:06 < tyche> r2d2rogers[LA]: WHAT? We're good neighbors. We don't shoot outside our state (of course anything inside it is fair game)
23:06 < desertc> etank[KY]: I am willing to move for a good linux community
23:06 <+etank[KY]> desertc: same here

23:14 < eddieftw> it's not HW i mind, it's this Java CS class that I mind

23:15 * atoponce steps away for a minute or two
23:15 < tritium> LaserJock: that's excellent.
23:15 < LaserJock> tritium: yeah, not a lot of time for Ubuntu
23:15 < desertc> hey, a bit OT, but I went to a Bio Fuel demonstration at Vanderbilt yesterday. They take the cafeteria's grease, mix glycerin and lye, let it settle, then get fuel for diesel engines and high-quality soap. I was amazed. 5 gallons of fuel and 1 gallon of soap for about $6 of chemicals
23:16 < tritium> LaserJock: I can completely relate.
23:16 < eddieftw> Vanderbilt?
23:16 < LaserJock> tritium: I became a Debian Maintainer though and am working upstream on a 3D molecular visualization/editing app
23:16 < vorian> TN
23:16 < desertc> They do this to get rid of their 200 gals / week dirty grease that the cafeteria creates.
23:16 < eddieftw> desertc: it's not an issue of technologically complicated issues about eneergy renewal
23:17 < eddieftw> it's the oil lobby
23:17 < tritium> LaserJock: congratulations! I never had such aspirations. MOTU was enough for me. :)
23:17 < desertc> eddieftw: yeah, but you should have tried this soap. hands. smooth. felt like butter. :-D
23:17 < tyche> desertc: And smell like french fries
23:18 < desertc> lol! no
23:18 <+nealmcb> ok - here's the python way to count participants by declared state: [(k, len(list(g))) for k, g in itertools.groupby(sorted(re.compile(r'\][^\[]*\[').split(s)))]
23:18 < eddieftw> freedom fries tyche
23:18 < snap-l[MI]> Mmmm.... fries.
23:18 < tyche> desertc: Fish?
23:19 <+nealmcb> where s is the string from /names with cruft on the beginning and end stripped out...
23:19 <+greg-g[MI]> phish?
23:19 < desertc> and they can't sell the fuel because of regulations, so they give it all away. they sell the soap for a profit
23:20 < desertc> Hey, so back on the subject of locos -- I held a nerd movie night
23:20 < LaserJock> tritium: heh, well I didn't much either but there are a couple packages I'd like to maintain in Debian
23:20 < desertc> Was a good success! We watched a movie that was licensed share-alike so people could get copies, if they wanted
23:20 < tritium> Damn, Marquette can't miss their threes now...
23:21 < desertc> There were 10 people who showed up to watch it. I recommend it to all locos!
23:21 < tritium> LaserJock: :)
23:21 <+nealmcb> desertc: University of Colorado has fueled student busses with cafeteria grease for a few years now iirc
23:21 < LaserJock> tritium: somehow I keep "gaining" things to be doing
23:21 < desertc> nealmcb: I had always heard about these bio fuels, but I never realized how easy they were to make.
23:21 < LaserJock> tritium: but I'm not really getting a lot done :/

23:22 < tritium> LaserJock: ah, then you can relate. :)
23:22 <+nealmcb> desertc: yeah. but there isn't a lot of that fuel, so it is only a small part of the "solution"
23:23 <+greg-g[MI]> nealmcb: and will only be cheap until the deep friers of the world start seeing it as an asset/comodity
23:23 < desertc> nealmcb: not enough grease for everyone - no - but it's typically thrown away
23:23 <+nealmcb> right - other good reasons to do it
23:24 < tonyyarusso> oh hey, you folks are still at it
23:24 < desertc> welcome back, tonyyarusso !!

23:28 < desertc> "Many people get confused about the time in Ohio, whether it is in the Eastern or Central time zone. It is actually in the 1960s."
23:28 < tyche> Sorry, I'm BEFORE the hippie generation. Hee hee

23:36 < vorian> yep
23:36 < vorian> host = ip
23:36 < lamalex> just like that?
23:37 < vorian> nono
23:37 < vorian> I'm wrong
23:37 < vorian> host is just the name you want to call the config
23:37 < eddieftw> im pretty sure it's ssh host@ip
23:37 < vorian> Hostname is the ip
23:37 < eddieftw> or user@ip

23:38 < peanutb> id love to do someting else though
23:38 < lamalex> I have no idea what you guys are saying
23:38 < eddieftw> well, you're better off doing user@ip than user@host because it's easier than setting up a webserver on your computer
23:38 < lamalex> can one of you just say an example line?
23:38 < desertc> neat - I offered to help out - so they signed me up for some work to do there
23:38 < eddieftw> much easier to just enable ssh
23:38 < lamalex> eddieftw: I'm not talking about how to ssh
23:38 < vorian> lamalex: like this
23:38 < lamalex> you can define hosts in .ssh/config

23:40 < vorian> all you have to do is ssh "host"
23:40 < lamalex> yeah
23:40 < vorian> haha
23:40 < H264> hey desertc
23:40 < lamalex> that was my goal, I just couldn't find syntax for that file
23:40 < desertc> H264: Heya!
23:40 < H264> what's up?
23:41 < desertc> H264: I just won a BlackBerry 8300 at a Cisco meetup, where I was angrily thinking about how AT&T was taking over our cellular data airwaves. But not so angrily that I wouldn't accept their prize. :)
23:42 < H264> heh

23:42 < H264> there is Tmobile too if you want plain old GSM...
23:42 * tritium goes to bed. Good night, everyone.
23:42 < desertc> It's proprietary technology anyway, and who wants that
23:43 <+etank> guys this was a lot of fun
23:43 < LaserJock> tritium: good night
23:43 < desertc> cya, etank
23:43 <+etank> we need to do this once a month or so
23:43 <+etank> really we do

23:43 < H264> desertc: I'd sell it then keep the money for the openmoko fund :)

23:43 -!- The_Boat is now known as The_Boat[CA]
23:44 < lamalex> now if only I could get dns set up right
23:44 < desertc> etank: I'm bailing out of there once it gets cold again, anyway. :)
23:44 < desertc> maybe. ;)
23:45 * tonyyarusso invites y'all to sunny Minnesota
23:45 < tonyyarusso> well, partly cloudly, but whatever, it's nice this week
23:45 < desertc> lamalex: are you typing the IP addresses when you connect to freenode?
23:45 < eddieftw> if there are any security nuts, in here.. what is the risk of a computer's contents being hijacked via firewire in linux? I know that it's arbitrarily easy for Windows and possible in OSX, but im not sure about linux
23:45 < eddieftw> anyone?
23:45 < lamalex> desertc: huh?
23:45 < lamalex> desertc: I mean my internal dns
23:46 <@atoponce> The_Boat[CA], welcome
23:46 < desertc> anyone else done any interesting loco events recently?
23:46 < desertc> I'm always up for trying new ideas
23:47 <+nealmcb> eddieftw: hmm? what is the firewire connected to?
23:47 < lamalex> I wanted to have a bikini carwash
23:47 < eddieftw> another machine
23:47 < vorian> night all

23:47 <@atoponce> vorian, night

23:48 < desertc> nealmcb: that's excellent. I have a friend moving out to denver, from my LUG. you remind me to send his contact details to you.
23:48 <@atoponce> heh
23:48 <@atoponce> came, thanked me, and went
23:48 <@atoponce> that's nice of him. :)
23:49 < desertc> easy come, easy go?
23:49 <+nealmcb> desertc: props to Jim Hutchinson (musashi)
23:49 < LaserJock> nealmcb: that's cool
23:49 < tyche> Night, all
23:49 <+nealmcb> desertc: one of the presentations includes windows-based FOSS - and any input is welcome
23:49 < desertc> nealmcb: what is the topic of your presentation?

23:52 < desertc> Hey good news, everyone! The US Navy just announced they will no longer purchase any more proprietary technology products.
23:52 <+greg-g> what??
23:52 < desertc> They have dedicated themselves to only open technologies.

23:53 <+greg-g> yeah, I need some proof here
23:53 < desertc> Oh, yee of little faith.... ;)
23:53 < H264> I can't imagine all software not open
23:53 <+nealmcb> finally - the one I was really looking for: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TIEColorado08
23:54 < desertc> "The days of proprietary technology must come to an end,"
23:54 < eddieftw> it was on /. as well
23:54 <+greg-g> call me a cynic, but, I'll believe it when I see them actually do it
23:54 -!- tonyyarusso [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has quit ["booting Hardy, maybe"]
23:54 < desertc> eddieftw: Did I reference this after /. got it? I hate when I do that.
23:54 < H264> ah... so you can't couple software to hardware
23:54 <+nealmcb> eddieftw: you mean windows opens up file sharing over firewire as a network protocol? or as a hard-disk protocol?
23:54 * nealmcb doubts linux does anything of the kind
23:55 < H264> "We will no longer accept systems that couple hardware, software and data."
23:55 < H264> thats all
23:55 < H264> not necessarly open source
23:55 < desertc> H264: yes, but it is in reference to this DoD mandate: http://www.fcw.com/print/12_27/news/95458-1.html
23:56 < H264> basically making things more modual... and cheaper
23:56 < eddieftw> no it's how firewire was designed
23:56 < eddieftw> to send data both ways without any other software
23:57 < fxef> firewire apears as a network interface in Windows
23:58 < desertc> \d/
23:58 < jms1989[LA]> Really, I've never seen it and I have a firewire port.

00:18 < LaserJock> with Hardy though that will change some

00:18 < LaserJock> LTSP has been moved to the Ubuntu Alternate CD and Edubuntu will focus more on educational apps
00:25 < nhaines[CA]> That is a little unfortunate but good for me and the kids I give Edubuntu to.
00:26 < LaserJock> I think it'll be better for everybody
00:26 < LaserJock> LTSP will hopefully get more attention from Ubuntu proper
00:27 < LaserJock> and we can hopefully provide more useful apps for people
00:30 < nhaines[CA]> Would be nice!
00:31 < LaserJock> if you have any suggestions of apps to include let us know :-)
00:31 < nhaines[CA]> :)

00:43 <+nealmcb> we've had trouble figuring out how and were to connect with folks

00:47 < [CA]Yasumoto> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400518
00:47 < nhaines[CA]> jms1989: historical reasons (hysterical raisins?)
00:47 < nhaines[CA]> It's still "back" in Windows.
00:47 < jms1989> It's mapped in windows, but not linux. I'm not sure about Macs.
00:48 < Flannel> Howdy all. We still doing M-n-G?
00:48 < LaserJock> nealmcb: heh. if it were up to me that'd have been taken care of a long time ago (re: edu LP teams)
00:49 < LaserJock> nealmcb: basically you want to email edubuntu-users for most things
00:49 < nhaines[CA]> Heya, Flannel!
00:50 < [CA]Yasumoto> heya Flannel :)
00:51 < Flannel> Howdy guys
00:51 < Flannel> Just got back from my match
00:51 < Flannel> If we're still doing it, I'm Neal Bussett leader of Ubuntu California.
00:52 < nhaines[CA]> Better late than never!
00:52 < Flannel> although, I'll refrain from changing my nick like my cohorts
00:52 < jms1989> nhaines[CA]: so the fix on that webpage should work? How can I map it in about:config?
00:54 < nhaines[CA]> jms1989: Just go to about:config and change the browser.backspace_action key.
00:55 < nhaines[CA]> 0 == go back a page, 1 == scroll up one screenful (opposite of spacebar), 2 == do nothing
00:55 < fxef> jsm1989: backspace key works on my Linux FF

01:03 < jms1989> For so long I had to click the back button on the browser to go back a page, now I can map it to my backspace key. Yay. I hope that set that value to 0 in the next version of FF2 and FF3.
01:05 -!- j1mc [n=jc@adsl-75-22-17-39.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net] has quit ["= hasta la pasta"]
01:05 < nhaines[CA]> jms1989: historically backspace and spacebar scroll the screen on UNIX. So that's the default there whereas in Windows it follows the IE convention.
01:05 < nhaines[CA]> But I'm glad you were able to change it. :) Remember that Alt-left also goes back a page.
01:07 < jms1989> I never knew that, I always use the backspace key in windows to go back a page.

01:20 < nhaines[CA]> jms1989: Sure in Windows that's the convention, but on Unix it wasn't.
01:23 -!- [MA]yuriy is now known as yuriy
01:27 < jms1989> Then we need to get that key to be defaulted to the backspace key in future versions on Unix and Linux based systems.
01:28 < nhaines[CA]> So that everyone who's used Unix and not Windows can be inconvenienced as well?
01:29 < nhaines[CA]> The better thing to do is to add an option in the Firefox preferences dialog so it can be more readily changed.
01:30 < jms1989> That would work but what about Konquer (or however its spelt)?
01:31 < nhaines[CA]> What does Konqueror do?
01:31 < nhaines[CA]> (for backspace, I mean)
01:32 < jms1989> I don't know, I saw it mentined in that bug report link posted earlier.
01:33 < nhaines[CA]> Oh, right.
01:33 < nhaines[CA]> The point is that you're used to Internet Explorer's behavior, and in Unix nothing works that same way by default.
01:34 < nhaines[CA]> It's not wrong that you want backspace to go back one page. It's just not the common behavior. It's not a bug, it's a user preference.
01:34 < nhaines[CA]> Happily, Firefox lets you set that up. Konqueror might do so as well, I believe.
01:35 < jms1989> I would test it if I had it installed but I don't at the moment. Ubuntu is sleeping right now.
01:37 < jms1989> I'd have to reboot to test it but I'm working on my podcast downloads. I could do it on my old compaq but I'd rather keep the root FS as clean as possible.
01:38 < jms1989> Anyone here want to test Konqueror's backspace key?
01:39 < H264> I know in OSX firefox will use the backspace to go back a page, in Linux it will not...
