Dec 06 21:45 |
| schestowitz |
I joked about it to SJVN… if it’s not about Lunix FTW, Windows Fail!, then no FP |
Dec 06 21:45 |
| wispy |
fanbi? you mean being a MS and apple fanboy? XD |
Dec 06 21:45 |

Dec 06 21:45 |

It’s not NEWS that makes it in |
Dec 06 21:45 |
| schestowitz |
It’s fan stuff |
Dec 06 21:46 |

Keviin Rose compalined about it 2 months ago, openly. |
Dec 06 21:46 |
| schestowitz |
He reliase that Digg is no news. |
Dec 06 21:46 |
| wispy |
i never saw diggnation |
Dec 06 21:46 |
| schestowitz |
It’s a nunber os mobs pushing their O/S agendas and competing in terms of FPs |
Dec 06 21:46 |

He didn’t say it like this, but that’s how I put it. |
Dec 06 21:46 |

wispy: he said this in a conference, IIRC |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| wispy |
oh ok |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz |
He ridiculed his own site as a source |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz |
He wants to ‘fix’ it |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| wispy |
first, you get rid of all the spammers |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz |
In early 2007 I found people who like me stopped reading Digg’s FP |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz |
It was not neww |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz |
It was random stuff and noise |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| wispy |
yes it is |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz |
Something just some funny pictures |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| wispy |
if i wanted that, i’d go to 4chan |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| wispy |
4chan is scary! |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz |
So in 2007 I cut down on participation a bit |
Dec 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz |
In late 2007 it got worse.. |
Dec 06 21:48 |
| wispy |
i joined in late 07 |
Dec 06 21:48 |
| wispy |
it was the best then |
Dec 06 21:48 |
| wispy |
for me i mean |
Dec 06 21:48 |
| schestowitz |
In early 2008 I stepped into BN more… the Munchkins and stalkers in Digg were a handful anyway |
Dec 06 21:48 |
| schestowitz |
twitter still has that kind in /. |
Dec 06 21:48 |
| schestowitz |
2006 was better |
Dec 06 21:48 |

Dec 06 21:49 |
| wispy |
there’s a ron paul hater who has 16000 comments |
Dec 06 21:49 |
| schestowitz |
At some stage I did about 40 comments/day |
Dec 06 21:49 |
| schestowitz |
That’s over 1000/month |
Dec 06 21:49 |

hey guys, i was just reading the articles on your site that say Microsoft wants to promote interoperability |
Dec 06 21:52 |
| schestowitz |
taxoperability we call it. |
Dec 06 21:52 |
| kevin832 |
why do they not add support for ext3 and the like on Windows? |
Dec 06 21:52 |
| schestowitz |
I haven’t used that weasel word in a while. |
Dec 06 21:52 |
| schestowitz |
Windows is a brick |
Dec 06 21:52 |
| kevin832 |
or out of the box ogg support |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
It can’t even do WinFS |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
They tried. |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
They ‘garbaged’ Longhorn |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
It’s a mess |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
No modularity at all |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
Now they have a patent on modularity *sough prior art cough* |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
So they intended to do something about it. |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
But they didn’t get around to it, not even in Vista 7 |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| schestowitz |
Ogg? |
Dec 06 21:53 |
| kevin832 |
i remember reading about the “one click ordering being patented by a certain company too… man that’s crazy |
Dec 06 21:54 |
| schestowitz |
No way. It’s too Free. They want proprietary WMV/A+Silverlight+DRM |

Dec 06 21:59 |
| wispy |
cool |
Dec 06 21:59 |
| wispy |
so do you visit the gym? i just jog outside |
Dec 06 21:59 |
| schestowitz |
I come there to drink from the water cooler and speak to people. |
Dec 06 22:00 |
| wispy |
ah so it is a social thing too |
Dec 06 22:01 |
| wispy |
do you lift weights? |
Dec 06 22:01 |
| schestowitz |
Yes, but I push and pull some things too… trying not to break a leg |
Dec 06 22:01 |
| wispy |
aww i hope you don’t get a boo-boo |
Dec 06 22:02 |

Over the head? That’s crazy. |
Dec 06 22:09 |
| schestowitz |
Nobody does that except hardcore posers. |
Dec 06 22:09 |
| wispy |
i dont know much about weights, sorry haha |
Dec 06 22:11 |
| wispy |
so what can you do? |
Dec 06 22:11 |
| schestowitz |
It’s not much about arms |
Dec 06 22:11 |
| schestowitz |
They use the legs and backs a lot |
Dec 06 22:11 |
| wispy |
you did mention that you bench press |
Dec 06 22:11 |
| schestowitz |
Then they duck below the bar and use the legs again. |
Dec 06 22:11 |
| wispy |
ah i see |
Dec 06 22:11 |
| schestowitz |
benchpress I can do about 165KG+bar |
Dec 06 22:12 |
| wispy |
wow!! |
Dec 06 22:12 |
| wispy |
i weigh much less than that XD |
Dec 06 22:12 |
| schestowitz |
That was 2 years ago. I haven’t checked since then, but I’m heavier now. |
Dec 06 22:12 |

schestowitz, emacs has that boxquote thing like knode has |
Dec 06 22:21 |
| schestowitz |
You could share that bit of code. |
Dec 06 22:21 |
| schestowitz |
It’s slow in Knode. It’s done inefficiently. |
Dec 06 22:21 |
| trmanco |
it is superfast in emacs |
Dec 06 22:21 |
| *schestowitz feels like everyone turns to uber-guru of emacs |
Dec 06 22:22 |

you just have to like keyboard shortcuts |

Dec 06 22:22 |
| schestowitz |
Knode has keyboard accelerators too… need to memorise them. I hardly use the widgets |
Dec 06 22:22 |
| schestowitz |
I use the GUI to point at items mostly.. like cursoring… but the ncurses UIs have that too… even slrn |
Dec 06 22:23 |

i’m running irssi in a gnome-terminal right now instead of an x client |
Dec 06 22:24 |

That’s portable |
Dec 06 22:25 |

You could SSH to it from a phone |
Dec 06 22:25 |

google > MS |
Dec 06 22:36 |
| kevin832 |
they can use the OEM muscle to get people to use their products |
Dec 06 22:36 |
| wispy |
well i hope netbooks will change that |
Dec 06 22:36 |
| GoblinRFD |
mmm yeah but then, if MS needs to act like a parasite just to get into peoples homes, then it just highlights how desperate they are. |
Dec 06 22:36 |
| wispy |
why pay more to have ms netbooks when a oem can sell linux netbooks? |
Dec 06 22:36 |
| wispy |
if netbooks have bigger storage space, i bet you people will buy them in large droves |
Dec 06 22:37 |
| GoblinRFD |
Dell were probably one of the first large firms to advertise Linux on their systems in the press over in here in the UK. |
Dec 06 22:37 |
| kevin832 |
i read somewhere that due to contractual ogligations, companies were limiting the hardware in netbooks. that’s not right |

Ubuntu. Im happy with 8.10, although that more because its family friendly and the wife is able to use it. |
Dec 06 22:59 |
| kevin832 |
they even show it from two angles |
Dec 06 22:59 |
| GoblinRFD |
I think 9.04 will be something special…if they can stop it being infested with MS “supported” junk |
Dec 06 23:00 |

schestowitz, remember that one lined ascii art? |
Dec 06 23:00 |

ubuntu is good, i started out with 7.10 |
Dec 06 23:00 |
| wispy |
i was a college freshman at the time, and i had a new laptop with vista |
Dec 06 23:01 |
| kevin832 |
7.10 was a great release |
Dec 06 23:01 |
| wispy |
ah the memories |
Dec 06 23:01 |
| kevin832 |
the first time I used compiz-fusion |
Dec 06 23:01 |
| trmanco |
my first *buntu was 7.04 |
Dec 06 23:01 |

compiz is great |

I jumped on Ubuntu at 8.04, more out of reputation for being friendly to everyone. I think now though, most of the mainstream distros are very similar in terms of user friendliness. |
Dec 06 23:02 |
| GoblinRFD |
I have to keep in mind that if Im 100% Linux at home, the wife needs to be able to use it. |
Dec 06 23:02 |
| kevin832 |
the wi-fi support was enhanced quite a bit in 8.10. that’s mainly why i upgraded |
Dec 06 23:03 |
| GoblinRFD |
I was lucky that 8.04 was “out of the box” for me. I dont think Ive had any major issues with it. |
Dec 06 23:04 |
| wispy |
mandriva, mint, fedora, and pclinuxos are good for newbies |
Dec 06 23:04 |
| wispy |
ubuntu’s install was cake |
Dec 06 23:04 |
| wispy |
i never had wi-fi problems with ubuntu |
Dec 06 23:05 |
| wispy |
it worked better than vista |
Dec 06 23:05 |
| GoblinRFD |
Agreed wispy, although I think most distros now cater for the newer user. |
Dec 06 23:05 |
| wispy |
out of the box is important, i agree goblin |
Dec 06 23:05 |
| GoblinRFD |
I was very impressed with a small distro called NimbleX 08. An excellent effort by a one man operation. |
Dec 06 23:06 |

i used to use slax |
Dec 06 23:06 |
| wispy |
i heard it’s nice |
Dec 06 23:06 |
| GoblinRFD |
and who can not fail to mention………UBUNTU – SATANIC EDITION!! |
Dec 06 23:06 |

slax is based on slackware, right? |

yes |

Dec 06 23:40 |

It’s shown as glorifies, as if to say “do this and you’ll be loved.” That won’t help develop the country; unless one is Hustler in the Playboy Mansion or something. |

Dec 06 23:54 |

It’s probably better not to draw any attention to the archers of the Fort anyway. They get little attention as it stands. |
Dec 06 23:55 |

I think you have to register, but its not user friendly enough to actually tell you that you need to register. |
Dec 06 23:56 |

I thought I might sign up just so I can comment… But not until I’ve read the “services agreement”… the link is dead. |
Dec 06 23:57 |

Click on the services agreement link and… page not found… |
Dec 06 23:57 |

I guess they won’t even mend it. |
Dec 06 23:58 |

Dec 06 23:58 |

If they can’t even get a couple of things like this to work properly… |
Dec 06 23:59 |
