windotexe | thats how i get all the cool trojans | Aug 19 11:11 |

windotexe | i have question schestowitz | Aug 19 11:13 |
windotexe | a question for you | Aug 19 11:13 |
windotexe | can u take my question | Aug 19 11:13 |
schestowitz | Sure. | Aug 19 11:14 |
windotexe | good | Aug 19 11:14 |
windotexe | my friend has windows and linux installed | Aug 19 11:14 |
windotexe | he tell me not to do it | Aug 19 11:14 |
windotexe | he says he found a microsoft update which backdoored his linux | Aug 19 11:14 |
windotexe | is this possible | Aug 19 11:14 |
windotexe | if you dont know, how do you find out | Aug 19 11:15 |
windotexe | meaning, how what do you look for | Aug 19 11:15 |
windotexe | my friend wont tell me how he found it | Aug 19 11:15 |
windotexe | but he had to reformat the drive | Aug 19 11:15 |
windotexe | he not use windows he told me to not use it too | Aug 19 11:16 |
schestowitz | You can ask in a technical forum although your situation is fictitious. | Aug 19 11:16 |
windotexe | not in dual boot | Aug 19 11:16 |
windotexe | because it backdoored his linux | Aug 19 11:16 |
windotexe | why are you saying fictitious | Aug 19 11:16 |
windotexe | he said it mounted his linux drive and inserted a rootkit | Aug 19 11:16 |
schestowitz | Because you have been here before (via Tor) just to troll. | Aug 19 11:16 |
windotexe | so everytime he booted windows it would load the linux drive | Aug 19 11:16 |
windotexe | no i have not been here | Aug 19 11:16 |
windotexe | why is this not possible | Aug 19 11:17 |
schestowitz | Why do you ask *here*? This is off topic and you know it. | Aug 19 11:17 |
windotexe | why cant i ask here | Aug 19 11:17 |
windotexe | is this a secret channel? | Aug 19 11:17 |
windotexe | only secret people in hats? | Aug 19 11:17 |

trmanco | what is* | Aug 19 11:21 |
pcole | Is this (windotexe) a common thing? | Aug 19 11:21 |
schestowitz | It's a means of anonymity. This prep was here before. He's harassing me and others in other places also. | Aug 19 11:22 |
schestowitz | pcole: we used to black Tor connections because many trolls came from there. But a few regulars prefer Tor, so the ban was removed. | Aug 19 11:22 |
pcole | I was running tor for a while, when using this box at work, then stopped it. It got in the way. | Aug 19 11:25 |
schestowitz | That troll IMed (in the IRC sense) me too. Obviously someone who has smeared me before with libel... | Aug 19 11:28 |
pcole | Grandpa was always harping on me to live a life of integrity, no matter what it cost. Never hide, take responsibility and accountability for what you do. So using tor kind've bothered me and made me feel uneasy. | Aug 19 11:36 |
schestowitz | Web anonymity is dead anyway. I never bothered. Those who bother get unmasked sooner or latrer. | Aug 19 11:37 |

pcole | Any chance of Neelie Kroes doing something concerning ISO29500? | Aug 19 11:55 |
schestowitz | They still investigate. They took evidence, but I think that a fine is the best they can inflict. They probably can't retract that ISO rubber stamp. | Aug 19 11:56 |
pcole | A fine would deter a normal individual; not a corp. that almost prints money. Has any state considered an embargo? | Aug 19 12:01 |
schestowitz | Yes. | Aug 19 12:05 |
schestowitz | Europe said it would be OK to ban Microsoft shall a government seek such action, but it's an open door rather than call for action. | Aug 19 12:05 |
kentma | ISO - the stamp of corruption. | Aug 19 12:21 |
schestowitz | Well, just look at it. It says it all: http://boycottnovell.com/wp-... | Aug 19 12:22 |
trmanco | http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?sto... | Aug 19 12:25 |
schestowitz | Thanks. I knew it wasn't final, but ISO is still too corrupt (self defensive) to leave hopes hanging. | Aug 19 12:29 |
pcole | I saw that 3 of the appellants are members of the council (Brazil, India & South Africa), but wasn't Malaysia against ISO29500? | Aug 19 12:40 |
schestowitz | I think it was at the end. There were some reports on it abstaining. But it's migrating to ODF noiw | Aug 19 12:41 |
schestowitz | The longer the limbo goes on for, the better. Non-techies start to realise that there's something very dodgy there and they inquire. | Aug 19 12:42 |
pcole | So instead of abstaining it might join in the appeal? | Aug 19 12:42 |
schestowitz | Yes, it has time too. Councils that moved to OOo/ODF can support such a move | Aug 19 12:43 |
pcole | So there's light at the end of the tunnel; does Jomar Silva know about the Malaysian move to ODF? | Aug 19 12:48 |
schestowitz | He should. Unless he's not following the news, which I doubt. Leave a comment in his blog, show him the GL article. | Aug 19 12:49 |
pcole | I saw that Graucho already did. | Aug 19 12:51 |
schestowitz | Does he have a Web site? | Aug 19 12:52 |
pcole | Who has? | Aug 19 12:53 |
schestowitz | Graucho?? | Aug 19 12:54 |
pcole | No, he's one of those hackers on the net. I've been in contact with him through email though. _xiso@hotmail.com. | Aug 19 12:57 |
schestowitz | Oh, I see. Well, anything or anyone that can rock the ISO-Microsoft love boat... | Aug 19 12:58 |

twitter | That ZDNet Skype story should be taken with a big grain of salt. It's not free software, so anything is possible but ZDNet is suspect. | Aug 19 17:55 |
schestowitz | How so? Jamie seems like a nice guy (based on all his previous posts that I read), but ZDNet's affiliation is suspect. | Aug 19 17:56 |
twitter | That affiliation is powerful enough to overcome the best of authors. Editorial oversight eliminates things that are off message and will promote things that are on. | Aug 19 18:05 |
twitter | As you noticed, every journalist has their M$ file and handlers. | Aug 19 18:06 |
twitter | I don't use Skype, but you can imagine M$ likes bad news about Skype. This article has a "whisper campaign" feel to it. There's more supposition than facts and it's damaging. | Aug 19 18:08 |

schestowitz | Orders for half a million snoops in UK in the past year alone, IIRC. | Aug 19 18:19 |

PetoKraus | linux is not os | Aug 19 19:48 |

schestowitz | Ah.. welll... I took ubuntu.sg down the other day. Front page in Digg that it couldn't handle. :-) | Aug 19 19:48 |
schestowitz | I might make 2 front pages in Digg tonight. Proportional for the GNU.. showing how pretty it is. | Aug 19 19:49 |

PetoKraus | though i always say i use gentoo linux | Aug 19 19:50 |
MinceR | that's one way it can be | Aug 19 19:50 |
MinceR | the other is if we argue that the parts outside the kernel aren't really the OS | Aug 19 19:51 |
MinceR | (since that border is kind of fuzzy anyway) | Aug 19 19:51 |
PetoKraus | well, yes. | Aug 19 19:51 |
schestowitz | You could just say your computer runs Free software... though Linux is 'the' recognised brand name now... if not Ubuntu | Aug 19 19:51 |
PetoKraus | though bootloader, HAL&stuff, ALSA... and those things | Aug 19 19:52 |
PetoKraus | init system | Aug 19 19:52 |
PetoKraus | are definitely part of any OS... (or alternatives) | Aug 19 19:52 |
PetoKraus | and they are not a kernel. | Aug 19 19:52 |
schestowitz | "GNU is Not Linux" or "GNU system" works better as an umbrella. I mean, isn't the GPL a unifying umbrella anyway? | Aug 19 19:53 |
