[2:28] <schiv> hey any of you happen to know if one were to get a citizenship in another country, can we still retain sg passport or will ica demand to choose only 1? i heard that there are quite a number of ppl in the us with us citizenship
[2:28] <schiv> and sg as well*
[2:32] <schiv> ok nvm..found the regulations.
[2:35] <elfgoh> schiv: and what are the regulations?
[2:40] <schiv> elfgoh: can't =/
[2:42] <schiv> "The Government may, by order, deprive a citizen of Singapore of his citizenship if the Government is satisfied that - he has, while of or over the age of 18 years, at any time after 6th April 1960 acquired by registration, naturalisation or other voluntary and formal act (other than marriage) the citizenship of any country outside Singapore or having so acquired such citizenship before the age of 18 years continues to retain it after that age"
[2:43] <schiv> so i guess those with more than an sg passport are on a thin line

[23:25] <icedwater> I just signed up (yesterday) for a github account and I don't know which packages I *need* to download ...
[23:26] <icedwater> I'm going to guess sudo apt-get install git-core works.
[23:31] <singh> hey icedwater
[23:31] <singh> sorry was away...
[23:34] <singh> icedwater: well regarding students studying.. well yeah.. some are hard core studying and some like me, with all books open, can just stare at them the whole day!
[23:35] <icedwater> Yeah, I know what you mean. I was kidding about the studying thing. Don't take it as though students are expected to not study yeah?
[23:35] <icedwater> Have to clarify, since this channel is logged :P
[23:35] <singh> ok. well yeah have to study for the upcoming exams...

[23:39] <icedwater> Hmm... interesting applications: lavaps: a lava lamp of running processes.
[23:40] <icedwater> singh: Yeah, that seems pretty acceptable. :) Do your best!
[23:40] <singh> yeah i have kept it light for my 1st sem
[23:41] <singh> icedwater: so what major are you?
[23:41] <icedwater> Also, I heard before I left that the observable incidence of Linux users in NUS was increasing.. can anyone verify that? :P

[23:45] <icedwater> singh: I'm assuming you tracked this data over a period of time, or you wouldn't have been able to tell it was increasing :P
[23:45] <icedwater> Either way, that's cool... but how come #linuxnus is pretty much the same people? :P

[23:49] * icedwater glances around furtively, waiting for a reaction to the word 'netbook'.
[23:52] <icedwater> Hmm... interesting applications: etckeeper: a utility hooked to APT which commits /etc to a git repository. Sounds like it might be useful.
[23:53] <jamestyj1> icedwater: hey looks like you had fun in hamburg
[23:53] <jamestyj1> too bad i was sick and couldn't join
[23:54] <icedwater> Heh, you saw some photos?
[23:54] <icedwater> I never need to upload mine ... too many people have cameras :D
[23:55] <icedwater> Also, I didn't charge the battery before leaving for Hamburg so I had something like 5-10 photos I think.
[23:55] <icedwater> Going to Berlin on the 20th, will probably check out the Hackerspaces there if they are open on weekends.
