| AVRS2 | https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432798 - thorough (sp?) description of the bug | Sep 15 22:46 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | But since nobody looks at EULAs, nobody tests them, and it's been accidentally only fixed on non-Linux platforms. | Sep 15 22:48 |

| AVRS2 | “This is incredibly Linux-centric and shows a basic disrespect for the desires of Mac users in general.” | Sep 15 22:59 |
|---|
| MinceR | the desires of typical mac users deserve nothing but disrespect anyway. | Sep 15 23:01 |

| AVRS2 | the last msg in his blog: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/20... | Sep 15 23:04 |
|---|
| MinceR | (rationale: afaict the desires of typical mac users revolve around themes of 'must be shiny', 'must have shiny apple logo on it', 'must be announced by steve jobs', 'must work exactly like a certain apple product', disregarding any functionality or reason -- not something that's worth working with) | Sep 15 23:04 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | In that case, it was "must work like a certain apple product without checking a box". | Sep 15 23:06 |
|---|
| MinceR | yes, that's more accurate | Sep 15 23:06 |
|---|
| MinceR | also, it shouldn't have any checkboxes whatsoever | Sep 15 23:06 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | I won't comment on the buttons being good or bad though; never used them (at least don't remember from the day I might have). | Sep 15 23:07 |

| AVRS2 | [in those sizes] | Sep 15 23:08 |

| AVRS2 | AFAIK, Asa Dotzler is more marketing (SpreadFirefox? not sure) than Mozilla. | Sep 15 23:11 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Some said they were using Mac OS X because MoCo bought MacBooks en masse (sp?)… | Sep 15 23:13 |

| AVRS2 | And then there is some expensive proprietary testing suite for Mac… | Sep 15 23:14 |

|---|
| schestowitz | Mozilla developers are Mac users. | Sep 16 01:20 |
|---|
| twitter | So, how many of those bug reports are M$ Munchkins looking to stink the place up? | Sep 16 01:20 |
|---|
| twitter | Do the Mozilla developers really run OSX? I've seen people using GCC and friends on OSX. It was not nearly as easy as apt-getting source. | Sep 16 01:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | A Microsoft Munchkin sort of got kicked by the ISP/gateway for libeling me today. | Sep 16 01:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, Mozilla devs use OS X. Many of them do. Some might multi-boot and they use CentOS on the servers. | Sep 16 01:24 |
|---|
| twitter | The ISP news is good and bad. It's nice they want to help but bad they would terminate someone's service like that. | Sep 16 01:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Well, it wasn't the ISP really. Not yet anyway. | Sep 16 01:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Some people sent complaints to the news service from which the Munchkin had posted. Failing that, ISPs can probably be reached. If you saw the nature of the posts, you'd understand. | Sep 16 01:27 |
|---|
| twitter | It would be nicer if they helped you trace the comments back, so you can sue the person who made them. | Sep 16 01:28 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, that too. | Sep 16 01:28 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I think I know the address already. If I pursued it, I could probably put him in jail. He attacked other people in the past under hundreds of nym. It's like a Barkto incident. | Sep 16 01:29 |
|---|
| twitter | You should pursue it, but you will probably find a zombie at the other end of the line. | Sep 16 01:30 |

|---|
| schestowitz | PJ keeps evidence on MOG, I think. | Sep 16 01:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Since we have court evidence showing MOG planting stories for Microsoft, the spying and intimidation could have not just her sued by Microsoft too. | Sep 16 01:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'd love to see PJ taking a break from GL and doing a massive lawsuits against Microsoft and the Shill Mill. It could expose the whole operation, have it blast in the media, and lead to many more lawsuits from those who got injured. | Sep 16 01:37 |
|---|
| twitter | That would be a great service. I hope she's got lawyers working on it. | Sep 16 01:38 |

| AVRS2 | It is a nation, but so small that it is currently a website. | Sep 16 13:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | If it takes just 20 people, then we could probably create a "BN IRC channel" nation and protest as a nation. :-) | Sep 16 13:13 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Its FAQ has a question "Is it a role-playing game?" | Sep 16 13:14 |

| schestowitz | Is the site has downtime, what does it mean for the nation? | Sep 16 13:14 |

|---|
| schestowitz | I bet it would be easy for Microsoft to 'stuff' their ballot on OOXML. | Sep 16 13:16 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | It wants to take the territory as independant by doing good to its citizens. | Sep 16 13:17 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Crap, once having learnt to misspell "independent", I cannot unlearn back… | Sep 16 13:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Well, that means that Bush can't force them to be recruited for Iraq. Sounds like a deal. | Sep 16 13:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's a common typo. | Sep 16 13:18 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | IIRC, there is some other word which has "-ant", so I thought "independent" was an error. | Sep 16 13:18 |
|---|
| kentma | dependent and dependant have different meanings, hence the confusion. | Sep 16 13:19 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Actually either I've read the site poorly, or it is unclear whether they want complete independency or be a part of UK. | Sep 16 13:19 |
|---|
| kentma | Dependent is frequently spelt as dependant, particularly by yanks... | Sep 16 13:20 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Note: The forms dependant, dependance, dependancy are from the French; the forms dependent, etc., are from the Latin. Some authorities give preference to the form dependant when the word is a noun, thus distinguishing it from the adjective, usually written dependent.” | Sep 16 13:21 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | (gcide) | Sep 16 13:21 |
|---|
| kentma | standard english spelling is to respect the and and ent; just like respecting ice and ise for noun & verb. Both of these are frequently mispelt by yanks. | Sep 16 13:22 |
|---|
| kentma | and non-yanks, but most often yanks. | Sep 16 13:22 |
|---|
| kentma | practice, for example, is almost always spelt as practise by yanks. | Sep 16 13:22 |
|---|
| kentma | and licence is almost always spelt as license. | Sep 16 13:23 |
|---|
| kentma | also noun & verb. | Sep 16 13:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I find myself disoriented by this. | Sep 16 13:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's better to eliminate the mistake. | Sep 16 13:23 |
|---|
| kentma | french, is of course, all derived from latin... | Sep 16 13:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Not to accept both. | Sep 16 13:23 |
|---|
| kentma | spanish will usually break dependent(e) into dependiente, adding an 'i' before the 'e'. | Sep 16 13:24 |
|---|
| kentma | Italian just does ente. | Sep 16 13:24 |
|---|
| kentma | schestowitz: I agree. Incorrect spellings cause all kinds of havoc with short sentences and phrases... | Sep 16 13:25 |
|---|
| kentma | Driving license = verb - permission to drive | Sep 16 13:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But names of places change this. | Sep 16 13:25 |
|---|
| kentma | Driving licence = noun - a bit of paper :-) | Sep 16 13:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Names of places set rock-solid precedence. Bal Harbor for example. | Sep 16 13:26 |
|---|
| kentma | Place names are even more confusing, because they often have ancient forms, however, they can typically be recognised by capitalisation, which helps them stand out from the crowd. | Sep 16 13:26 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | In Russian, Chinese and Korean names transliterated or transcribed (not sure which) as Huy are almost always euphemized. | Sep 16 13:28 |

| MinceR | lol | Sep 16 13:29 |

| kentma | AVRS2: I've seen many of these transliterated, and then the sound of languages changes over time, and a re-transliteration is required | Sep 16 13:29 |

|---|
| kentma | Is Korean tonal? I suppose it might be | Sep 16 13:31 |
|---|

|---|
| kentma | I dunno... sorry. I'm using pidgin here | Sep 16 13:36 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | My problems with KVirc: 1. multi-line input is problematic; if I paste something into the single line, the multiline input opens and gets everything but the first line, which stays in the single-line input. | Sep 16 13:37 |

| kentma | talking about input - pidgin won't let me re-size the text input window, which is annoying. | Sep 16 13:38 |

|---|
| MinceR | (or if it's fixed in the developer version already) | Sep 16 13:51 |
|---|
| MinceR | as for the starting message with / thing: /say /... works in multiple clients, in case you don't know how the current client does it. | Sep 16 13:52 |
|---|
| MinceR | (though in kvirc /say probably has the sideeffect of parsing things like ; in the message) | Sep 16 13:53 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | test | Sep 16 13:53 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | /test | Sep 16 13:54 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | yep | Sep 16 13:54 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | In XChat, I used "//" | Sep 16 13:54 |
|---|
| MinceR | irssi has "/ " | Sep 16 13:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | / test | Sep 16 13:54 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | IIRC, KVirc's bugs were in KDE? | Sep 16 13:55 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | https://bugs.kde.org/ that is | Sep 16 13:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I wish Kate had a built in in-line spellchecker KNode has that. | Sep 16 13:56 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | hm, no, I'm confusing it with something | Sep 16 13:56 |
|---|
| MinceR | afaik kvirc is separate from kde | Sep 16 13:57 |
|---|
| MinceR | it can be compiled without kdelibs if you want to | Sep 16 13:57 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | yes; it also seems kinda poorly integrated | Sep 16 13:57 |
|---|
| *kentma1 has quit (card.freenode.net irc.freenode.net) | Sep 16 13:57 |
| MinceR | even then i prefer it to other GUI clients | Sep 16 13:57 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Though Amarok also is, a little. | Sep 16 13:57 |
|---|
| MinceR | especially to konversation, which includes an option for public away | Sep 16 13:58 |
|---|
| MinceR | public away must be killed with fire. | Sep 16 13:58 |
|---|
| *kentma1 (n=user@host86-155-238-243.range86-155.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell | Sep 16 13:58 |
| AVRS2 | Is that enabling "away" because of inactivity? | Sep 16 13:59 |
|---|
| *schestowitz looks for fire blanket. | Sep 16 13:59 |
| MinceR | it's announcing changes in away status on every channel as a message | Sep 16 14:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, that's the issue. | Sep 16 14:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I tried it for one minute. You then shouted :-) (so did someone in #mandriva, but more politely) | Sep 16 14:05 |
|---|
| MinceR | [H]omer still does it from time to time :( | Sep 16 14:06 |
|---|
| MinceR | the worst is when i share multiple channels with the one using public away | Sep 16 14:06 |
|---|
| MinceR | so i get false activity on multiple channels | Sep 16 14:06 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | oh | Sep 16 14:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | [H]omer: please take note. | Sep 16 14:07 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | hmm looks like I've forgotten the multiline problem essence: it is not exactly the act of pasting that causes it, but that I switch to the multiline mode while having something in the first line. | Sep 16 14:12 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Then the content of the singleline editor doesn't get moved or posted… | Sep 16 14:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Other than Xchat I've only ever used mirc, but that was 12 years ago. | Sep 16 14:14 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | XChat has at least one major issue: long messages are split at 512 or so bytes, so Cyrillic text can be split in a middle of character, and become totally unreadable. | Sep 16 14:15 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Not sure what KVirc does; someone told me they had one of my long messages just cut off. | Sep 16 14:16 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | But https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/ticket/147 says there is such bug in KVirc! going to be fixed by 4.0 | Sep 16 14:17 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Anyway, I've had other issues with XChat, like copying working really bad. | Sep 16 14:18 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | And when I upgraded to 2.8.2, it had channel and user lists in one column and not side by side. | Sep 16 14:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I get some chopped-off message on rare occasions. I have no real basis for comparison though. | Sep 16 14:19 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | With 2.8.4, the Debian build had been highlighting almost every message, apparently because the highlighted nickname list format has changed (how?). | Sep 16 14:20 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | or it was 2.8.6 | Sep 16 14:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'm probably locked in to this app now. :-| | Sep 16 14:22 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | I feel locked in to Firefox since I've upgraded to 3.0* trunk. | Sep 16 14:25 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | And not just to Firefox, but to the version I am using. | Sep 16 14:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Plugins are a pain. Some go deprecated. | Sep 16 14:27 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | No extension here has gone deprecated… but they have memory leaks and take a lot of RAM all the time. | Sep 16 14:28 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Though some become incompatible. | Sep 16 14:28 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The leaks have not been a pain since I upgraded to a stronger dual-core box. | Sep 16 14:28 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Thunderbird can be a pig too if you strap lots of stuff onto it. | Sep 16 14:29 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | I've tried using Iceweasel recently, and its xulrunner-core or something was hanging often… | Sep 16 14:29 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Unfortunately, Html Validator (Tidy-based) has become incompatible here. | Sep 16 14:32 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | Two things possible: edit it, or disable compatibility check. | Sep 16 14:32 |
|---|
| AVRS2 | But there are newer compatible versions… windows-only | Sep 16 14:33 |

|---|
| schestowitz | http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2... : "MS won't be a Linux friend until Windows is dead. " It's interesting what M[icrosoft]aritch said eariler: http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php... ( VMware chief says the OS is history ). Midori or SUSE? | Sep 17 18:51 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ReverseGTR: Charlie is not very reliable, but he recently dug up dirt on NVidia. | Sep 17 18:52 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | problem with virtual machines like VMware is they still need to virtualize all aspects of the API, which in tern hinders 3D and other hardware performance | Sep 17 18:53 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | so whats the dirt on Nvidiot? | Sep 17 18:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Let me dig. | Sep 17 18:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2... (part of a series... scroll down to links) | Sep 17 18:55 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | which one. how they got Intel to include NV200 PCIe accelerator into X58 motherboards so they all work with SLI? | Sep 17 18:57 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | oh, I see they want Intel to do that while the vendors don't | Sep 17 18:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I have NVidia+AMD on this box. I worry that I'm affected by the defects. | Sep 17 18:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The folks at Phoronix don't trust Charlie though. I tend to trust them on that one because I inquired. | Sep 17 19:00 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | which graphics card are you using? | Sep 17 19:00 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | From what I recall it affects notebooks more since they already run at a high thermal envelope | Sep 17 19:03 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | it also seems to be affecting the Geforce 7 series and 8 more so then 9 | Sep 17 19:04 |
|---|
| *moparx (n=moparx@pdpc/supporter/base/moparx) has joined #boycottnovell | Sep 17 19:04 |
| schestowitz | ReverseGTR: I think they are being sued by shareholder now for downplaying the severity (range of products affected). | Sep 17 19:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *shareholder (typo). Speaking of which, the funny thing is that my dad used to be a Novell investor when I was younger. He also did _a lot_ of business with Samsung, which BN boycotts as well. | Sep 17 19:05 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: yes, they are since before they were stating it only affected the 7 series and mobile 8 series GPU. But it is now discovered that 8 as well as some mobile 9s are also affected | Sep 17 19:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They played safe art first , placing blame on what they already know for sure. I wonder how much inside-trading was to be spotted there. Reminds me of Microsoft and that criminal Robbie bach. | Sep 17 19:08 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | the fact is the problem is with there being not enough thermal paste as well as chips that are not speced to withstand fluctuating temperatures over time. So we will not know if even the latest Nvidia graphics cards and GPUs are affected until a few years down the line | Sep 17 19:08 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's what stress testing is for. Watch what happened with XBox 360. I wrote about it the other day. | Sep 17 19:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | cyberphoenix liked it: http://www.mixx.com/stories/_... | Sep 17 19:10 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | But it also has to be in part that they have allot of parts on those graphics cards to test out. And since they don't own any fabrication plants they feel they can save capital and rely on their vendors to. I knew that motto they use to have for "fitting the most semiconductors on one chip" would come back to haunt them. :P | Sep 17 19:10 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | ATi/AMD are in a better position to do quality testing since they own quite a few fab factories. They also don't try to make the most sophisticated graphics cards and rather take an approach to integrating features and even making them driver base if possible. | Sep 17 19:12 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The integrated GPU-CPU will come from the big two soon. NVIdia knows this and worries. | Sep 17 19:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I hope to get around to Intel's abuses prior to 2000 some time in the future. The folks at Groklaw had some discussion about Intel's past some time when we all ranted about their OLPC sabotage. | Sep 17 19:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/per... "My feeling is also that each time there is a confusion there is a risk to lose an OLPC volunteer because each announcement on Windows hurt Sugar volunteers. And each volunteer is very important to give support and help to the coming new XO users." | Sep 17 19:16 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: True but there will always be a place for discrete graphics among folks who desire more performance then the norm. Now don't get me wrong, high and mid-end Nvidia cards rule performance wise. But having a fabless company that designs graphic chipsets that rely mainly on hardware implemented features may cause reliability issues without them interrogating vendors. | Sep 17 19:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | NASA and Hollywood love NVIDIA. They just need lots of polygons. Reliability is less of an issue. It's like a flea market. | Sep 17 19:18 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: Sugar is a very nice GUI with nice apps and features but it is unlike any other GUI which will probably made it hard for them to gain developers regardless of Windows. OLPC could have opted for the user to be able to select between Sugar and KDE/XFCE rather then bending over for M$. | Sep 17 19:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, but Nick was a friend of Bill. | Sep 17 19:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Back in 2007 (early, IIRC) he gave credit to Bill and he lost my trust. | Sep 17 19:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | MS slogs it to discourages volunteers... for about 2 years now. All sort of vapourware announcement for over a year. | Sep 17 19:21 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: have they even re-implemented the coloress screen feature on OLPC in Sugar on Windows? | Sep 17 19:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No | Sep 17 19:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's not about making it a success. | Sep 17 19:23 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: I admit though I did read up on how most governments in countries wanted a cheap PC with a Windows looking interface. | Sep 17 19:23 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | but those were the advisors of the governments | Sep 17 19:23 |

| schestowitz | Mission is to: 1) tell the world that Linux on laptops suxxx [sic]; 2) avoid children getting exposed to 'something else' (Fedora in Peru is one of the largest desktop GNU/Linux deployments) | Sep 17 19:24 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | well then, I am sure Nick and Bill already had a toast to their sucess | Sep 17 19:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I published an article about it: http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/peru... | Sep 17 19:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oops. http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/os... | Sep 17 19:25 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: sometimes I feel that the only real way to throw a wrench into M$'s domination globally is if a certain country such as Iran made a computer and an OS specialized for the Islamic world | Sep 17 19:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | See my article. People recommend what they know. Better is worse if it's different (Linus) | Sep 17 19:27 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | no joke, since Arabic, Farsi and Malaysian syntax is still lacking on Windows or on any OS in the API level :P | Sep 17 19:27 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That already happens in many countries: Brazil (Debian), Uzbekistan, Kerala... | Sep 17 19:27 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schstowitz: its needs to happen in more | Sep 17 19:30 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ReverseGTR: let me find something new. | Sep 17 19:31 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Got it. it's Glyn Moody who drew my attention to it: http://commonspace.wordpress.com/2008/09/16... | Sep 17 19:31 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "Noy’s built up a team inside NiDA to localize open source desktop apps into Khmer (a language too small to be interesting to Microsoft), build up open source development skills amongst young people (still early days on this one) and train end users on Linux, Open Office and Firefox (20,000 people and counting). He’s also the major champion behind Khmer OS, a localized OpenSuse distribution." | Sep 17 19:31 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: thats one great way of doing another is to appeal to people politically. If a distro of Linux was created not only to read Arabic fonts but to use it on the terminal level I am sure most of the Middle East and North Africa would switch | Sep 17 19:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | WFT: watch this: http://blogs.computerworld.com/i_want_a_real_linux_a... | Sep 17 19:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Does Google expect volunteers to do its own work??? I can't figure out the association/affiliation of the commenter. At least Google is doing mirrors' repos now. Can't complain *too* much. | Sep 17 19:34 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I quite like Parsix: http://www.parsix.org/html/index.php (there are some nice stories around it, once you get past the US daemonisation of Iranians). | Sep 17 19:35 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: well like someone else told me, Google only uses open source where they see fit as well as using it to divert attention from their marketshare. Like how they refuse to accept the Affero GPL because it doesn't suite their business needs. | Sep 17 19:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, I know. Source = PR. | Sep 17 19:36 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: does Parsix enable users to utilize the terminal in Persian? | Sep 17 19:38 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Sergey and Larry didn't give any source code until /when/? The hiring of DiBona? Even /he/ is embarrassed by it. See the comments here: http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2008/05/go... | Sep 17 19:38 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I told Moody about it. He also wrote http://www.computerworlduk.com/community/blogs/in... | Sep 17 19:38 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ReverseGTR: yes, it's Ubuntu-based and very similar (dark theme). I like the fact that they emphasise GNU and I have some photos from their schools. They really want to help the kids. | Sep 17 19:39 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: thats awesome, hopefully the Iranian government will put their money where their mouth is instead of in nuclear arms to look for more peaceful ways to increase their independence from foreign and become a nation to be reckoned with | Sep 17 19:41 |
|---|

| schestowitz | The following is a decent accumulation but I have more. Read in sequence: Mobile Linux company, Azingo (News - Alert), has announced that it’s all set to demonstrate its new Web 2.0 applications running on Azingo Mobile, its open mobile Linux platform. | Sep 17 19:45 |

| schestowitz | Oops. Wrong paste again.The following is a decent accumulation: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.advoc... | Sep 17 19:45 |

| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: I have not read anything in that link about funding being cut, thank g0d | Sep 17 19:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ReverseGTR: "if you treat them like criminals, criminals they will become." I am very concerned about the US attitude towards some nations, to whom they give no opportunity. | Sep 17 19:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ReverseGTR: wait then. I didn't check the links | Sep 17 19:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's likely that I read it but didn't document it because it's negative advocacy. Let me use teh Google [Dubya accent /] | Sep 17 19:48 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I give up. It hard to find old new based on statements you vaguely recall. It wasn't a big headliner at the time. | Sep 17 19:50 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: nothing Iranian if its not about weapons and Islamic fanaticism is | Sep 17 19:51 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's all I find by search teH Googlar | Sep 17 19:51 |

| schestowitz | Unless one searches in Arabic, I suppose. I studies Arabic for 2 or 3 years. :-) | Sep 17 19:52 |

| schestowitz | *LOL* No, no. I was pretty good. I got like 85% or 90% | Sep 17 19:53 |

| ReverseGTR | Then you must be the leader of a terror cell or mastermind of some sort of terrorist plot that has, or will happen | Sep 17 19:54 |

| schestowitz | I notice that Dellubuntu have already decided that everyone 'wants' to buy MSFTware: http://blog.canonical.com/?p=37 | Sep 17 19:54 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | lol jk | Sep 17 19:54 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | you sure thats the right link? The article is about codecs and DVD playback on Ubuntu | Sep 17 19:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Arabic is the most spoken language, IIRC (most people, not countries). We would be is terrible trouble if about 2 billion people on this planet were malicious-minded zealots. Apparently, that's not the case. | Sep 17 19:55 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: and imagine only 12 million people aka the Jews controll it. It as in the world | Sep 17 19:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ReverseGTR: yes, but they bundle it with all Dell boxes, so you pay for rubbish you can get for free and cannot ope out. | Sep 17 19:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's easy to blame groups, not individuals. | Sep 17 19:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The "Them" used to be the Soviets. | Sep 17 19:56 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: and before that zee Germans | Sep 17 19:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFx... (it talks about the Soviets too) | Sep 17 19:58 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: anyway about Dell bundling M$ tarballs into their Ubuntu based PCs. They already have an agreement that covers them purchasing M$ software so in actuality it should not be costing them much more. | Sep 17 19:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Well, they also joined the MS/Novell deal just days before 'patent terrorism. | Sep 17 20:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Please read this very short and recent item: http://boycottnovell.com/2008/08/2... | Sep 17 20:01 |
|---|
| ReverseGTR | schestowitz: yea, I am definitely never buying a Dell PC for some time | Sep 17 20:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Someone told me about Shuttlewortth in advance, but I had to keep it private. He spoke to them (I think directly) about codecs. So did Red Hat, but they backed off. | Sep 17 20:08 |

| schestowitz | It's Gary M Stewart who did this. It has the opposite effect though. Although my family notices these posts sometimes, it's too ridiculous to be believable. They are some more believable sorts of libels, such as claims that I launch DDOS attacks. Groklaw was accused of the same thing. | Sep 17 20:30 |

| mib_dnipn3 | I wouldn't even give it the dignity of a response .. | Sep 17 20:33 |

| mib_dnipn3 | What has source code got to do with intelligence ? | Sep 17 21:09 |
