schestowitzhttp://mdzlog.wordpress.com/2008... "We all have bias, and the best that we can do is to disclose it so that others can take it into account when hearing our ideas.  Unlike the presentations given by other Novell employees at this and other conferences, Greg’s slides omitted the Novell logo."Sep 18 10:21
benJImanBecause Greg was talking as a himself and a kernel developer, not on behalf of Novell.Sep 18 10:26
benJImanHe usually puts disclaimers on too that his views are not those of his employer.Sep 18 10:26
schestowitzIt's about /biases/ not whose behalf.Sep 18 10:26
benJImanI'm just saying that's why he doesn't use the Novell logo, because if he did he would be representing Novell, and the company libel for his comments.Sep 18 10:40

twitterIt's cool to be fat and self destructive ...Sep 18 14:07
twitter" The counterattack strategy is typical for the ad agency, Crispin Porter & Bogusky, behind the campaign. One ad for its successful campaign for Burger King portrays a high-calorie meal as a rebellious personal choice for its target audience of young men"Sep 18 14:08
twitterTalk about eating dog food...Sep 18 14:08
schestowitzI'd rather ignore those ads.Sep 18 14:08
schestowitzMentioning them just gets more people to watch it.Sep 18 14:08
twitterI don't see any.  My house has no cable TV.  I think it's funny they are using a firm that specializes in convincing people to make bad choices.Sep 18 14:11

twitterBK is a little too good for M$.  Think McSoft.Sep 18 14:15
schestowitzNo, only the Zune user can squirt. That's how Microsoft put it.Sep 18 14:15
schestowitzThe Zune is just a toy.Sep 18 14:16

schestowitzcoming out of this mess as the same nation we once were.Sep 18 14:29
schestowitzOops. I just got this E-mail from my cousin in Florida because I sent his president humour. He says "only an idiot would want that job now; the international, domestic and financial situation involving mortgage scandals and bankruptcies problems, are all hitting us simultaneously." I wonder Oracle's next (scandal, fraud).Sep 18 14:30
twitterThe policies we inflicted on others so willingly and blindly don't feel so good when they are inflicted on us.Sep 18 14:31
schestowitzChina has just got some promising space program.Sep 18 14:32
schestowitzThey might go where no man has gone before, not even NASA, which suffers budget cuts at the moment.Sep 18 14:32
twitterSo did the Soviet Union, on paper.Sep 18 14:32
twitterThings don't look so good when you get close enough to see dead astronauts.Sep 18 14:33
twitterYou only have to look at mining and the navy in China to see where safety is ranked.Sep 18 14:34
schestowitzIt's not like it's portrayed by HollywoodSep 18 14:36
schestowitzHollywood =  MojaveSep 18 14:37
twitterIt's worse.  Monopoly business sucks.  I can believe US Congressional testimony about prisoner executions and organ harvesting.Sep 18 14:38
twitterThanks to consolidation, the US has a lot of the same problems but China must be orders of magnitude worse.Sep 18 14:40
schestowitzFor explanation about Congress, always follow the $$: http://lessig.org/blog/2008/07/netroots_nation_keynote.htmlSep 18 14:40
twitterSure, saw that.  There are just too many stories about exploited people in China and they match too well with Soviet stories.Sep 18 14:42
twitterTry to imagine a place where there's no free press and one company runs everything.Sep 18 14:44
schestowitzThe US isn't perfect either. Same in the UK.Sep 18 14:45

schestowitzOn the economy (good post): http://beranger.org/index.php?page=...Sep 18 18:33
schestowitz"Thomas L. Friedman: Keep It in Vegas: €«Let’s understand what happened here. Wall Street — the financial industry — became a bubble in recent years thanks to an excess of liquidity and the oldest bubble maker in history: greed. Some of the smartest people forgot one of the oldest rules of investing: There is no such thing as a risk-free return. When you reach too far for yield, sooner or later you get burned. "Sep 18 18:41

schestowitzYes, I will write about NOVL in this context shortly. I found something odd in Blloomberg.Sep 18 20:09
pombat42It appears that the fat cats are taking care of each other. what a surprise.Sep 18 20:18
schestowitzIt's sad.Sep 18 20:19
schestowitzBut very predictable. Now that Ellison deletes his E-mails and can get sued for fraud I'm not surprised if the majority of titans out there are just fraudulent as part of the norm. Novell too has had its share of fraud claims, which it settled.Sep 18 20:20

joseit makes sense that if hardware grows in capabilities, that changes to the interfaces might be prudent to better take advantage.Sep 18 23:33
joseIt isn't necessarily the case that the interfaces should change or be augmented (eg, RISC pov), but it's certainly something worthy of discussion.Sep 18 23:34
joseIt's up to nvidia and the rest to join that conversation with us.Sep 18 23:34
joseSoftware devel is accessible to many more than is hardware devel. We can't build hw like we can build swSep 18 23:35
joseso there is a real barrier and difference there.Sep 18 23:35
joseI think nvidia or any of the others can gain by opening up to us.Sep 18 23:35
joseFortunately, AMD and Intel have opened up much more in the last year or two.Sep 18 23:36
joseI think they have more to gain through Linux being successful than having to rely on Microsoft to call shots and take a large portion of the income.Sep 18 23:36
joseI'd also hope that other hardware companies might want to get into the action with us.Sep 18 23:37
schestowitzYes, but I thought about something else.Sep 18 23:37
schestowitzI am more concerned about the tactics Microsoft is using here.Sep 18 23:37
josebtw, "hardware grow in capabilities" would mostly be in terms of space on the chip for more transistors and speed.Sep 18 23:37
schestowitzThe OGL people got slapped with a wet fish and it came out of nowhere.It's that same FUD and depress pattern and Carla seems to be echoing it by linking.Sep 18 23:38
joseThat's why I posted there.Sep 18 23:38
joseThe topic is one that not to many might feel comfortable posting an opinion (those with opinions might just not be listening to LT).Sep 18 23:39
josem shuttleworth has already stated his backing to improve the desktop experience, specifically referring to improving the graphics environment and integration.Sep 18 23:40
schestowitzFor OGL improvements, Apple could chip in as well.Sep 18 23:42
