Ex malo bonum: reinstalling the OS made me realize that now the Free driver works perfectly with my Ati 3d accelerated card :-)

@fontana wonder if a shared etymology stems back to Eve and her offering?

@fontana Apparently Malus is also the mast of a ship, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/malus
-
@fontana, this conversation reminds me that despite 6 years of Latin in secondary school, I remember very very little. It's #disturbing.
-
@bkuhn I find it #disturbing the number of things you find #distrubing #sarcasm
-
@fontana @bkhun malus means both "apple tree" (malus domestica, female) and evil (malus, male). "Male" in Italian means "Evil" BTW ;-)
-
@fontana I cannot deny that I consider Ovid to be one of the greatest poets ever. My nickname is based on this admiration. :-D
-
@fontana I know very little about Latin, but can confirm that the original Hebrew text isפרי עץ הדעת - "fruit of the tree of knowledge".
-
@x1101, my #disturbing behavior of frequently finding things disturbing is mostly due to @fontana 's influence, which is also disturbing.
-
@bkuhn is it @fonta 's influence thats #distrubing, or that it has such an effect on you?
-
@x1101, I am not sure. Let's ask @fontana : do you find your obsession w/ #disturbing & its influence on me to be disturbing in itself?
-
-
@jwildeboer, Interesting you say that. I have, at times, modeled @fontana in my mind as a Cartesian #evil genius, but only in a playful way.
-
@jwildeboer Nah, you're just #mad. ;)

@jwildeboer, I don't think I'm #evil, although I admit on occasion I make mistakes, yielding #disturbing & #problematic behavior.
-
-
@bkuhn Change doesn't happen when all agree, that's why #disturbing and #problematic behavior induces it ...
-
@fabsh, I agree. Pretty much anything I take seriously, I get #obsessed with. e.g.: software freedom, !poker, !coffee . It's #problematic
-
@fabsh, I'm certainly #geeky. #Religion is far in my past. I used to be #Catholic but now I've been an #atheist for decades now.

@bkuhn Wow. Good on ya. I've never been anything. I hate religion (well, Buddhists are OK actually)...
-
@jwildeboer I have the same problem, I think... ;)
-
@bkuhn it sounds like your just an intense person.
-
@fabsh you should join Red Hat ;-)
-
@fabsh thats probably because buddhism is almost a non-religion. its odd
-
@jwildeboer I am working on it. ;)
-
@x1101 Yep, pretty much.
-
@jwildeboer, I bet @fabsh would *love* to have a job at #Red_Hat. You should get him one! #Red_Hat needs a weekly podcast, doesn't it?
-
@fabsh leaving the club we created?
-
@bkuhn I am thinking of doing an Evangelist Podcast myself ...
-
@x1101, I agree that I'm a pretty #intense person;it can be #problematic. What's #disturbing : I used to be *much* more intense than now.
-
@jwildeboer Lemme know if I can help... ;)
-
@fabsh I do own fedoradio.org (hint, hint)
-
@jwildeboer BTW, I *hated* Weltkirchentag in Cologne. That was terr
-
@gbraad I wouldn't say no! ;)
-
@fabsh I thought we had a deal... only us both! ;)
-
@jwildeboer Ace domain, dude! I'd love to do a show about Fedora and related stuff. I am already branded as a fanboy anyway. :)
-
@gbraad Don't complain. I can see a red hat in your future as well, I think.... ;)
-
@x1101 Well, yeah. But people call me a fanboy anyway. ;)
-
@fontana, I've considered idea of #freesoftware as #religion, mainly as tool to fight workplaces/schools that require use of proprietary sw.
-
@x1101, Didn't look too far into the idea. It would mainly be a hack to stop mandatory use of proprietary software, but prob. wouldn't work.
-
@bkuhn the church of #Freesoftware, with our sacrements of #coffee and #pizza
-
@bkuhn I really don't want the pope to excommunicate all Catholics who use free software
-
@bkuhn 6 years of secondary-school Latin is probably about 1000 hours of class plus 1000 hours of homework, right? Like 6 mos. living abroad
-
@bkuhn okay, so it might be worth more than 2000 hours of massed practice, but still...
-
@bkuhn religion is based on dogma and blind belief. #freesoftware is not. I would ask you to not follow that tactics
-
@bkuhn awful idea. good religion's primarily about ideas, less about rules. further, free software is le…
