[00:41:37] <SpallsHurgenson> see this is the sort of thing I'm talking about
[00:41:49] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm fed up with companies selling computers with their spyware preinstalled
[00:42:01] <SpallsHurgenson> back in the day this sort of thing was just unheard of
[00:42:16] <SpallsHurgenson> I mean, if you wanted spyware you had to know how to go and install it yourself!
[00:42:31] <SpallsHurgenson> why do they insist on dumbing everything down like this! it's not right!!!
[00:42:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> SpallsHurgenson: zareason, system76, there's a couple of others
[00:43:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> and Dell has a handful of laptops that can be preloaded with Ubuntu
[00:43:16] <SpallsHurgenson> hmmm...
[00:43:26] * SpallsHurgenson hands AndyTheAbsurd a whoosh
[00:43:27] <AndyTheAbsurd> but I'm guessing that those come with Ubuntu's spyware installed.

[01:48:15] <Ethanol-fueled> If this place weren't hard-up for money I would have told that mongolo to get the fuck out.
[01:48:45] <Ethanol-fueled> But if the idjit wants to pay us let him pay us.
[01:49:22] <Ethanol-fueled> That's the worst part...I could have been home 3 hours ago but we have to wait for people who may become members because we need money.
[01:52:11] <Ethanol-fueled> I hope that gives you all a few dry cackles. Good night.
