| schestowitz | oiaohm: is it known if Apple's doing DRM in headphones? What's the verdict? Maybe Balrog would know too | Mar 19 10:04 |
| oiaohm | At this time not enough details to make a call schestowitz | Mar 19 10:05 |
| schestowitz | If it's a storm in a teacup, then it's better off ignored. | Mar 19 10:05 |
| schestowitz | I'll wait | Mar 19 10:05 |
| oiaohm | Problem with working out if a chip is linked to DRM is all the different forms of DRM> | Mar 19 10:06 |
| oiaohm | Watermarking will be the hardest to prove of disprove. | Mar 19 10:06 |
| oiaohm | of/or | Mar 19 10:06 |
| oiaohm | Think the chip inside the head phones provides the only controls for the ipod shuffle. Its not exactly DRM but its a bit of required chip for some devices. | Mar 19 10:10 |
| oiaohm | No matter what the thing Apple is doing is a vendor lock making replacement head phones harder schestowitz | Mar 19 10:15 |
| oiaohm | If more companies copy with there own different standard nice way to make head phones more expesnive. | Mar 19 10:15 |
| oiaohm | There is no really special reason why control part and headphones could not have been two parts. | Mar 19 10:16 |
| schestowitz | Yes, agreed. | Mar 19 10:17 |
| schestowitz | There's this deviation from standards | Mar 19 10:17 |
| schestowitz | Risky territories. | Mar 19 10:17 |
| oiaohm | Techs you are looking for when you suspect something is a drm device linked. Is doing encryption/decencryption. Apple has said the chip is not doing that. Providing a unique id Apple has not ruled that out at this stage. | Mar 19 10:18 |
| oiaohm | Finally watermarking audio near it. Very had to split for normal interferance to singles a chip can cause. | Mar 19 10:19 |
| oiaohm | Really the unique id bit should get rules out in time. | Mar 19 10:20 |
| oiaohm | That is the problem when something is claimed that a chip could be DRM is disproving it when there are no other makers of the chip and the design is closed to public review. | Mar 19 10:22 |
| oiaohm | See you have had a lot of new schestowitz | Mar 19 10:27 |
| oiaohm | new/news | Mar 19 10:27 |
| schestowitz | Yes, loads. Maybe today too, who knows..? It's a good sign for FOSS | Mar 19 10:28 |
| oiaohm | You have to remember that using timings from computer responses has been trialed as a system to id a system remotely. Its about 98 precent correct. So basically everything is already partly watermarked by maker defects. | Mar 19 10:32 |
| oiaohm | Watermarking is the hardest anti copy system to detect. | Mar 19 10:33 |
| oiaohm | Its the stupid thing about DRM most DRM systems do not use watermarking to re enforce them. | Mar 19 10:35 |
| schestowitz | Well, too late for them | Mar 19 10:35 |
| schestowitz | Creative Commons grew | Mar 19 10:35 |
| schestowitz | They need to adapt to other business model | Mar 19 10:35 |
| schestowitz | The ages of printing 0s and 1s on plastic discs and shipping it to homes is over | Mar 19 10:36 |
| schestowitz | Likewise for the idea of putting 1-2 good tracks and some 'fill', then charging $1 per track, including the 'fill' (to give illusion of value) | Mar 19 10:36 |
| schestowitz | don't feed the mafiaa. http://torrentfreak.com/sxs... | Mar 19 10:38 |
| oiaohm | Some of the Watermarkers out there that don't get labeled as drm is like http://www.magnatune.com/ | Mar 19 10:39 |
| oiaohm | Embeding person personal information in the file kinda discourages them sharing it. | Mar 19 10:39 |

| harrytuttle | hi | Mar 19 10:44 |
| schestowitz | Hey, harrytuttle | Mar 19 10:44 |
| harrytuttle | ive had an idea about the consorship going on right now | Mar 19 10:44 |
| harrytuttle | from ACMA | Mar 19 10:44 |
| harrytuttle | http://tech.slashdot.org/article... | Mar 19 10:44 |
| harrytuttle | so its about that link thats on that blacklist and comes with a fine of $11000 | Mar 19 10:45 |
| harrytuttle | the one which is anti-abortion | Mar 19 10:45 |
| harrytuttle | so wikipedia tests this by linking from their ACMA-article to that site | Mar 19 10:46 |
| harrytuttle | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... | Mar 19 10:46 |
| oiaohm | They under extermate power of the Australian Communications and Media Authority in Australia. | Mar 19 10:47 |
| schestowitz | Conroy? | Mar 19 10:47 |
| oiaohm | License telecommunications carriers and ensure compliance with licence conditions and carriage service provider rules << Notice this. | Mar 19 10:47 |
| oiaohm | ACMA has the power to shutdown ISP's. | Mar 19 10:48 |
| harrytuttle | what if everbody would take such a "blacklisted" link (which could be considered unrightfully un such a list because its free speech other than maybe offensive and illegal stuff) | Mar 19 10:48 |
| oiaohm | By removing there License | Mar 19 10:48 |
| harrytuttle | and posted this link on any public site which allows comments like youtube? | Mar 19 10:48 |
| oiaohm | Idea that stunts will work against them. | Mar 19 10:48 |
| oiaohm | Not wise. | Mar 19 10:48 |
| oiaohm | Remember ACMA has the power to force a firewall into existance without goverment approval. | Mar 19 10:49 |
| harrytuttle | but youtube would have to either blacklisted also or remove that under the fine | Mar 19 10:49 |
| oiaohm | I am sorry those stunt pullers are playing right into ACMA hands. | Mar 19 10:49 |
| harrytuttle | so i guess google would fight that | Mar 19 10:49 |
| harrytuttle | oiaohm can you please explain? | Mar 19 10:50 |
| oiaohm | Ie if 11000 dollar fines don't work. Australian will end up with completely censored internet. | Mar 19 10:50 |
| harrytuttle | no way | Mar 19 10:50 |
| oiaohm | ACMA does not need goverment approval to do it. | Mar 19 10:50 |
| harrytuttle | so whhat? | Mar 19 10:50 |
| oiaohm | All they need is law breakers. | Mar 19 10:50 |
| oiaohm | Leading to need for extra enforcement. | Mar 19 10:51 |
| oiaohm | So thoses smart asses as playing straight into ACMA hands. | Mar 19 10:51 |
| oiaohm | Failure to understand ACMA with the right to take away licences from all ISP and Phone carries unless they do what they want in Australia. | Mar 19 10:52 |
| oiaohm | Is past being controlled by any form of trick. | Mar 19 10:52 |
| schestowitz | Sign of the times (for non-Free software): Oracle License Sales Fall in Q3 < http://www.pcworld.com/article/161501/ora... > | Mar 19 10:53 |
| oiaohm | By the way harrytuttle one forbin video in the past had it DNS entry to its website blocked by Australian ISP's due to ACMA order. | Mar 19 10:54 |
| harrytuttle | oh, okay so you say we should just stand by and watch them do unjustice in the first place? WE are no law-breakers, THEY are... | Mar 19 10:54 |
| harrytuttle | its not past | Mar 19 10:54 |
| oiaohm | Doing wrong against them will not work. | Mar 19 10:55 |
| harrytuttle | so they should just do that to youtube, they should ban whole youtube from australia | Mar 19 10:55 |
| oiaohm | Simple fact that is in there power harrytuttle | Mar 19 10:56 |
| harrytuttle | so yeah, WE have the power to make them do that!!! | Mar 19 10:56 |
| oiaohm | At this stage they are trying fines instead of extream force. | Mar 19 10:56 |
| harrytuttle | so they should fine youtube | Mar 19 10:57 |
| oiaohm | Next step will most likely be forced web filtering on ISPs. | Mar 19 10:57 |
| harrytuttle | well, fine | Mar 19 10:57 |
| harrytuttle | go ahead i say | Mar 19 10:57 |
| harrytuttle | if it affects youtube, wonderfull | Mar 19 10:57 |
| oiaohm | Its a gandie (Ok fameous guy that proved force was not required to win). | Mar 19 10:58 |
| oiaohm | There are many peaceful ways to protest. Finding invalid items black listed is 1. | Mar 19 10:59 |
| oiaohm | Winning against some with the power to take you out does not happen by making yourself look bad. | Mar 19 10:59 |
| *schestowitz looks into a bizarre server issue at BN. The server as a whole hardly responds, so it doesn't seem like account-level issue | Mar 19 11:03 | |
| schestowitz | The server has an error. There is no access to databases and I cannot access cpanel either (it just doesn't quite respond). I just though I should draw the host's attention to it, so I did. This is annoying. There was also 1/2 hour downtime yesterday around the same time. | Mar 19 11:08 |
| oiaohm | Hmm that sounds like a cron job. | Mar 19 11:08 |
| oiaohm | Its too regular. | Mar 19 11:08 |
| schestowitz | It's quite often that it happens in the mornings (GMT) | Mar 19 11:09 |
| schestowitz | Either way, it doesn't seem to be an account-level issue (I hope not) and no DB is reachable. | Mar 19 11:09 |
| schestowitz | Does cpanel rely on a DB too? | Mar 19 11:09 |

| schestowitz | Another thing: | Mar 19 11:12 |
| oiaohm | Theory is that is when the lightest load on the network. | Mar 19 11:12 |
| schestowitz | yesterday, after a 1/2 hour downtime, there was a time change | Mar 19 11:12 |
| schestowitz | The server went an hour backwards | Mar 19 11:12 |
| oiaohm | That is a crash. | Mar 19 11:12 |
| oiaohm | Server time cannot go backwards without a splat. | Mar 19 11:12 |
| schestowitz | But I thought DST had already occurred in the US. | Mar 19 11:12 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: I see...... | Mar 19 11:13 |
| oiaohm | DST time stops. | Mar 19 11:13 |
| oiaohm | Ok opps | Mar 19 11:13 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft has released IE8... more poison on the web.... "compatibility mode" | Mar 19 11:13 |
| oiaohm | grennish mean time does not alter with DST | Mar 19 11:13 |
| schestowitz | Greenwich? | Mar 19 11:13 |
| oiaohm | greenwish mean time ie GMT+0 | Mar 19 11:14 |
| schestowitz | Yes. | Mar 19 11:14 |
| oiaohm | If that altered wrong server has a problem., | Mar 19 11:15 |
| schestowitz | I can only access stuff like webalizer (no DB). The rest sort of times out | Mar 19 11:15 |
| oiaohm | I am so use to system admins we check server with some time that is not effected by DST. | Mar 19 11:15 |
| oiaohm | Does not take much to code up a page to show GMT on a server. | Mar 19 11:15 |
| schestowitz | US runs smear campaigns and such in South America: "one of the media coverage mentions the role of the Washington D.C.-headquartered political consulting firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner. In a media release, the firm states that it provided "public opinion research and strategic advice" for Funes' campaign." http://www.prwatch.org/node/8273 | Mar 19 11:18 |
| oiaohm | Ok what kind of time does your database store schestowitz | Mar 19 11:19 |
| oiaohm | I hope not local time effected by DST. That can sometimes send some websites into fits. | Mar 19 11:19 |

| schestowitz | oiaohm: why DST though? | Mar 19 11:21 |
| schestowitz | I only brought it up because a day ago it changed | Mar 19 11:21 |
| oiaohm | Normally bad compares. | Mar 19 11:23 |
| oiaohm | IE hang on It was midnight just before it cannot be it again problem. | Mar 19 11:23 |
| schestowitz | it feel around 11am today. Let me check yesterday's | Mar 19 11:23 |
| oiaohm | Good database interfaces you don't use local time ever. | Mar 19 11:24 |
| schestowitz | oh, around 8am GTM yesterday | Mar 19 11:24 |
| oiaohm | You convert from GMT to local so it cannot happen. I don't know how well wordpress is designed. | Mar 19 11:24 |
| oiaohm | I know phpnuke had a problem for a while because it let admins set local time to be stored in database. | Mar 19 11:25 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: it's not a WordPress issue | Mar 19 11:25 |
| schestowitz | Wikimedia can't reach the DB either. Neither can cpanel, apparently | Mar 19 11:26 |
| oiaohm | Just had to rule it out. | Mar 19 11:26 |
| oiaohm | If its about the same time always you would say its a service or a action. | Mar 19 11:27 |
| oiaohm | Hopefully not a cleaner pulling a power plug. | Mar 19 11:27 |
| oiaohm | Yes that really does happen schestowitz | Mar 19 11:27 |
| oiaohm | Hardest one I ever had to track down was a pure power disruption because caused by the lights and other computers being turned on in the building leading to a switch failing temporary. | Mar 19 11:31 |
| schestowitz | "Joe Tartakoff, the former Microsoft reporter at the Seattle P-I.." http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/... | Mar 19 11:31 |
| schestowitz | The server is there | Mar 19 11:32 |
| schestowitz | Just not the DB server, I think | Mar 19 11:32 |
| schestowitz | OK | Mar 19 11:33 |
| schestowitz | Something's happening | Mar 19 11:33 |
| schestowitz | Now it responds quickly to say no DBs are there. | Mar 19 11:33 |
| schestowitz | cpanel: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at boycottnovell.com:2082" it used to just time out before, not it's 'not there', so maybe it's worked on? | Mar 19 11:34 |
| schestowitz | Ok, server offline now | Mar 19 11:35 |

| schestowitz | OK, it's back after less than an hour | Mar 19 11:41 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: you may be right.. about DST | Mar 19 11:45 |
| schestowitz | I notice that one post did not appear because of time... as though timing or something had it confused | Mar 19 11:45 |
| schestowitz | Could server problems be caused by this (CMS/commit times), oiaohm?> | Mar 19 11:46 |
| oiaohm | Depends on the SQL script send to database server. | Mar 19 11:47 |
| oiaohm | If it goes into a load loop causing the db to be killed due to too much load yes. | Mar 19 11:48 |
| schestowitz | For all I can tell, adding to DB at 5AM server time is when problems struck | Mar 19 11:48 |
| schestowitz | Then, although the data was put it, it was seen as 'future time', therefore didn't appear | Mar 19 11:48 |
| oiaohm | That is sounding like a flaw in the way it setup. | Mar 19 11:49 |
| oiaohm | It depending on local time instead of something solid like GMT. | Mar 19 11:49 |
| schestowitz | Server time not changed | Mar 19 11:50 |
| schestowitz | Anyway, no data was lost or anything. Let's wait for host's diagnosis (if they bother) | Mar 19 11:51 |
| oiaohm | It could be a simple database server splat. | Mar 19 11:51 |
| oiaohm | Caused by bad SQL from something like the CMS. | Mar 19 11:51 |
| oiaohm | So check it for updates and if any problem like you are suffering form is reported schestowitz | Mar 19 11:52 |
| schestowitz | Why is Ubuntu the most popular distro? < http://manishtech.wordpress.com/2009/0... > This would annoy many | Mar 19 11:52 |
| oiaohm | Because Redhat is not intestested in Desktop at this stage schestowitz | Mar 19 11:52 |
| oiaohm | Not like Desktop pays anything at this stage. | Mar 19 11:52 |
| oiaohm | Ubuntu has failed to make there Desktop cash generating. | Mar 19 11:53 |
| oiaohm | Desktop linking cleanly to servers is required to make desktop pay. | Mar 19 11:53 |

| schestowitz | We agreed that I'll trim down the code significantly (I know what caused this) if the account can be brought back online quickly. We got some query sample. :-S | Mar 19 17:20 |
| schestowitz | I'll trim all the pages down considerable (almost no DB load) and then check php/mysqladmin too see how load it affected. | Mar 19 17:30 |

| schestowitz | Another optimistic take on IBM-Sun: eWEEK Labs on IBM/Sun: Open-Source Community Would Win < http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Linux-and-Open-Sou... > | Mar 19 17:37 |
| MinceR | "powered" is an exaggeration | Mar 19 17:38 |
| MinceR | i'd rather call them "android-addled" | Mar 19 17:38 |
| tessier_ | You don't care for android? | Mar 19 17:39 |
| MinceR | i don't, as long as it's crippled in the way it is | Mar 19 17:41 |
| MinceR | crippled libc, no c++ support, no native app support | Mar 19 17:41 |
| MinceR | (and then i haven't even mentioned the lack of x) | Mar 19 17:41 |
| MinceR | it's inadequate even for a pda/phone and now someone has the bright idea to cripple a netbook with it | Mar 19 17:41 |
| schestowitz | Wow. Check out: | Mar 19 17:43 |

| *zer0c00l (n=zer0c00l@210.212.255.131) has joined #boycottnovell | Mar 19 18:00 | |
| PetoKraus | right | Mar 19 18:05 |
| schestowitz | BN is back | Mar 19 18:05 |
| PetoKraus | i'm quite sure now, that PIFTS exe is norton's tool how to infect more people's computers | Mar 19 18:05 |
| schestowitz | I am trimming it down, so it'll look funnt temporarily | Mar 19 18:05 |
| PetoKraus | i mean | Mar 19 18:05 |
| PetoKraus | look at the well timed response by malware companies | Mar 19 18:06 |
| PetoKraus | it does seem too coincidential to me | Mar 19 18:06 |
| tessier_ | MinceR: What do you mean by no native app support? | Mar 19 18:06 |
| MinceR | tessier_: i mean that native linux apps are unsupported | Mar 19 18:07 |
| tessier_ | Why would you want C++ support on it? | Mar 19 18:07 |
| MinceR | they can't access the GUI nor the special hardware | Mar 19 18:07 |
| tessier_ | It's not a regular PC. | Mar 19 18:07 |
| MinceR | so i could run apps other than shitty java apps | Mar 19 18:07 |
| MinceR | see, that's the problem with it | Mar 19 18:07 |
| tessier_ | I don't care for java either. But you aren't going to be able to run X on it like a normal machine. The hardware just isn't there. | Mar 19 18:07 |
| tessier_ | Does the iphone run X? | Mar 19 18:08 |
| tessier_ | "While Linux netbook sales are increasingly lagging Windows ones, the analyst reckons Android could help reverse the trend. " | Mar 19 18:08 |
| tessier_ | Hmm...is that true? | Mar 19 18:08 |
| MinceR | the iphone is even more crippled | Mar 19 18:10 |
| schestowitz | PetoKraus: is it true that as the rumour goes, AV companies spread risk | Mar 19 18:10 |
| schestowitz | ? | Mar 19 18:10 |
| MinceR | i doubt being able to run even less apps would make netbooks more attractive | Mar 19 18:10 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: it's an IBM phone now | Mar 19 18:10 |
| *zer0c00l has quit (Remote closed the connection) | Mar 19 18:10 | |
| schestowitz | (java) | Mar 19 18:10 |
| PetoKraus | well i am almost sure that the AV business is just a self-perpetuating fluff | Mar 19 18:10 |
| schestowitz | That too, matter of business, liability to shareholders, etc. | Mar 19 18:11 |
| PetoKraus | i don't believe that someone is capable of writing something like Conficker, and no one in the whole antivirus business is able to stop it | Mar 19 18:11 |
| balzac | PetoKraus: I agree | Mar 19 18:11 |
| balzac | It's a protection racket sponsored and enabled by Microsoft | Mar 19 18:11 |
| MinceR | no one in the antivirus business can take effect on all windows pc-s | Mar 19 18:11 |
| PetoKraus | We guard your souls for peanuts, we guard your shops and houses for something more. | Mar 19 18:12 |
| PetoKraus | - Peter Gabriel | Mar 19 18:12 |
| MinceR | (m$ is in the best position for that but some people disable automatic updates because they're implemented in the most annoying way possible) | Mar 19 18:12 |
| balzac | Microsoft's willfully insecure design is also responsible for the giant spamming and DOS botnets | Mar 19 18:12 |
| PetoKraus | sure | Mar 19 18:12 |
