[17:05] and you're way behind w.r.t recycling :/ [17:05] oh? [17:06] example? :) [17:06] take the glass to the supermarket, and use the coloured bins? [17:06] cans, cardboard and recyclable plastics can go in the recyclcing bin [17:07] Yes, please give me a price comparision of something England v Germany [17:07] yes ... in the cafetaria here I pay for a simple dinner between 1,85 to 2,45 pounds (which equals 2,66 to 3,53 euro), whereas at my home university I could get a meal for between 1,3 and 2,3 euro, which was more (and acutally better :P) [17:08] coloured bins? haven't seen any in the college accomodation I'm living in (and anyway, near every packaging of sb has printed "sorry not yet recycable" on it ;) [17:08] hrm. [17:09] Sainsbury Organic products have recyclable packaging [17:09] Hi bvowky [17:09] but on the other hand I have to admit that the local (student run) theater is with 6 pounds (or 9 euros) rather cheap in comparsion [17:09] greets [17:09] sf_ghoul: and cost even more :P [17:11] (I should mention, that I have lived in maybe the least expensive region of germany for the last three years :P) [17:13] You are living in one of the two most important English university towns :) [17:14] £2.45 is good for a meal! [17:14] I'd be lucky if that bought me a sandwich [17:14] as I said ... way to expensive :P [17:14] I startet to bring my own sandwiches to the department the second day [17:14] after I noticed that the sell simple baguettes for 2,30 ... [17:15] :) [17:16] oh and something different [17:17] I bought some pies today, ate one and then noticed they were supposed to be heated before eating :P [17:17] :( [17:17] (tasted fine though) [17:17] Didn't it give you an option? [17:17] yes ... oven or microwave :P [17:18] but otherwise it's fantastic here [17:18] :) [17:18] I'm late leaving!

[ http://www.bersirc.org/ - Open Source IRC ] [17:20] so you learned anything yet fiveop? ;) [17:20] much [17:20] We've already got a weak of lectures [17:22] week? [17:22] so you mostly settled in then? [17:25] I found the lack of recycling a little strange in britland too.. [17:25] mostly because I'd read stories about huge fines for incorrect recycling, and then I got there and no recycling was found! [17:27] ah, the same old story [17:28] machine has problems, i go to check and remove about a dozen of adware-crap, then 'net ends up dead [17:29] atleast it got fixed without reinstalling doze [17:29] heh [17:29] stop using windows :) [17:29] any OS that'll let any old program wreck your operating system is a poor choice ;) [17:30] a) not my puter b) laptop c) user too idiot for any other OS [17:30] I also can't think of any other OS where usage actually degrades it [17:30] (modern OS) [17:31] I fixed myself a cute sexy little Samsung Alpha yesterday.. [17:31] 800Mhz 8MB cache, 2G DDR [17:31] just needed a little.. er.. alot of solder ;) [17:32] bvowk: week [17:32] sorry :P [17:32] yes [17:32] sadly, one of the memory banks is blown, it looks like something shorted one of the dimms, and it burned a leg [17:32] Yes I setteled in [17:32] -e [17:32] so 2G, you've gotta have pairs for the bank interleave to work sadly..

[18:19] MSG: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com [18:19] any trip where your ass doesnt fall asleep is close [18:20] anywhere I am happy to walk to on a daily basis back and forth is close [18:20] I wasn't aware there were any elections coming up fiveop.. [18:20] (other than the local city election) [18:20] I ment normally [18:20] meant? [18:21] meant [18:21] yes meant [18:21] so which is your favourite party, disregarding the fact that there are no elections on the near time horizon [18:21] ! :P [18:21] I swear no loyalty to any party, they're all a bunch of thieves. They need to be changed regularily to prevent corruption. [18:21] ok [18:22] I spend most of my time on the left these days tho. [18:22] which in canada is likely somewhat right of what you'd consider the left.. [18:22] and in the US would be considered absurdly and impossibly far to the left.. just one step short of communism I'm sure. [18:22] bvowk: the liberal party? [18:22] yeah, or the NDP [18:23] the guy here want's to join the liberal party (he says he's rather left, but he want's to work in a party, where he would be actually able to rule) [18:24] I'm not against conservatives outright either.. they just aren't having much luck with making a sensible platform.. [18:24] preferably as your future prime minister [18:24] the PM recently decided we needed to declare war on drugs again.. what utter idiocy.. Since the science is coming out overwhelmingly in favour of harm reduction. [18:26] But he prolly needs to posture to keep the fascist power to the south from bothering us more than they are already with their economic collapse. [18:27] germany is currently debating over time frames and amounts of money allowances for unemployed people [18:27] finland is currently debating on nurses salaries.. [18:29] oh we've got huge strikes comeing from railway drivers [18:30] they want >30% higher wages [18:30] and the railway company only want's to grant them 10% currently I think ... [18:30] we don't have any public railways here afaik. [18:31] I really wish we did more transport by rail.. too many big trucks onthe highways [18:31] we _unfortunatly_ won't have a public railway company either in the near future :/ [18:31] they want to privatize it [18:31] Join: Core_new joined #corewars [18:31] I actually think that's quite a bad idea [18:33] yeah.. given that pretty much everything they've ever privatized around here has turned into a huge impressive fuckup, or caused serious increases in price of service with decrease in actual service.. and a huge decrease in government revenue, which causes higher taxes.. [18:33] the one that pisses me off the most is the phone company.. [18:33] when it was public, we had pretty good service, and one of the best infrastructures in north america as far as the ability to service the needs.. [18:34] it was spun off into a huge phone company that's effectively a monopoly, and prices have never been higher, and service has never been shittier.. and they're still running on the muce the same infrastructure they took over. [18:34] er.. s/muce/much/ [18:35] and I suspect when they have to finally spend the money to upgrade, they'll likely thrust their tits skyward and we'll end up buying them out [18:35] [18:36] the privatization of our phone company acutally worked quite well I'd say [18:36] the resulting company, although owning the network to a great part, has to make great allowances with respect to using the net to its competitors [18:37] from an infrastructure perspective, I think that there are a few services that shouldn't be left to the whim of industry (because greed gets things wrong when providing for enterprise).. power, communications and transport.. you can't really get anything done without those, and making them run on a for profit basis is a useless tax on enterprises that would be better collected by us ;) [18:38] But I think that the railway system involves more expensive hardware and most probably less revenue and therefore regional lines will probably die out even though people would need them [18:38] yes [18:38] I fully agree on that [18:38] the might our german power providers have is ridiculous [18:39] on the other hand, you've got to ensure that the people running the service are actually responsive to the needs.. [18:39] which is tough in itself.. [18:39] either private or public. [18:40] ( http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/w?s=GBPEUR=X *chant* drop drop drop drop! ) [18:43] heh [18:43] actually.. I noticed the other day that I've become one of those multinational corporations that benefits from a weak canadian dollar :( [18:43] because I was looking at the CAD vs EUR and noticed that my haul was going to be smaller on the upcoming contract.. [18:46] contract?

This has had a knock on effect versus other major currencies, and the pound hit a 26 year high against the US dollar on April 18, 2007, having gone through the US$2 level for the first time since 1992 the day before. :/ [18:57] That's not good for me, my adsense earnings are losing value :-( [18:59] so you want a dropping pound, too? [18:59] let's set up a petition to your government, to decrease the interest rates! :) [18:59] I'd be happy if it was back to £1, $1.40 approx [19:00] Yeah, interest rate are creeping up :-( [19:00] House prices are going up fast too [19:00] that's none of my concerns [19:00] :-) [19:02] I just want to spend not too much money on my education here :P [19:04] eat lots of pasta (it's cheap) and buy coke at the pub then add your own spirits :-) [19:06] I don't drink [19:07] but I'm waiting for the pots my mother sends me to arrive, so that I can cook for myself [19:07] (pasta is not only cheap, but also easy to cook :P) [19:07] * Metcalf cooked pasta yesterday. Haven't cooked yet today [19:08] pasta isn't especially good for you however ;) [19:08] too many fast burning carbohydrates.. [19:08] why's that? [19:09] what're the bad properties of 'fast burning carbohydrates' [19:09] then buy some rye-pasta? [19:09] (though i think thats a Finnish speciality..) [19:09] Mizcu: we're aiming for cheap [19:10] fast burning carbs spike your blood glucose, which in most people causes insulin spikes, followed by overcompensation which leads to sitting on the couch building fat.
