Deanjo: is filled with great sadness that Andreas Jaeger has decided to retire from the opensuse board
zpowers: Looks like some changes to ubuntu-artwork packages last night,
Milyardo: I'll check the changelog as soon as I finish updating
Milyardo: Ivanovic: My harddisk is detected correctly
Ivanovic: hmm, here it is detected correctly again
Ivanovic: *strange* problem
Milyardo: My motherboard's chipset is finaly correct
copper: why do ISPs mess with perfectly working DSL lines?
Deanjo: Because I pay them to screw with your net
copper: seriously, wtf
copper: I had 2 mega*bytes* per second downstream, now it's just 1 MB/s for TV and 1 MB/s for the interwebs
Milyardo: They too like chew on random cables, they just perfer the low voltage ones apperently
copper: when my TV's turned *off* I want my god damn bandwidth
copper: I suspect it has something to do with my ISP's recent buyout
Deanjo: Your ISP needs to do some serious upgrades if they have to cut bandwidth on internet for TV
copper: it's for stream stability & quality
Deanjo: Ya, I know, but the fact remains they are way behind on the curve if they have to do that
copper: I wouldn't be too surprised
copper: although they're said to be *ahead* in terms of picture quality
copper: they're using something called PurePixel or something
Deanjo: We've had IPTV for a few years now and our speeds just keep getting better with more HDTV channels available every day
copper: thing is, my ISP used to be called Neuf, but the line I'm on used to be from another ISP (Club Internet), which itself bought another ISP (I think it as Deutsche Telecom), and now Neuf itself just got bought by SFR
Deanjo: (although our telecom has been running fibre since the 70's
copper: so now SFR has a highly heterogenous network
copper: even my hostname is still the same that was used in Club Internet's days
copper: which tells me they haven't ironed everything up yet, far from it
copper: out*
copper: What pisses me off is that bored-wizkid attitude
copper: "oooh what does that switch do"
copper: "woah it's so much better now, TV works flawlessly!"
copper: IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T YOU FUCKING FIX IT
copper: I'm done with my rant now. Move along.
Deanjo: Serves you right for breaking Suse's power yesterday
copper: gnagnagnagnagnaaaa
Deanjo: Your like a damn gopher
copper: gotta reboot…
michaellarabel: Ivanovic: Huh? I didn't make any changes to it...
Ivanovic: michaellarabel: looks like i had some interesting problem and it seems to have fixed itself
