schestowitzBush to Push Free Trade at Upcoming Economic Summit   < http://voanews.com/english/2008-10... > Sensationalism won’t save the economy. 10+ trillion in debt renders the system stuck in a roadblock. Time for a major rethink. Presidential elections won’t change much when corporations run the government.

tessierStill not quite a victory though. Windows is still growing, it's just that the growth has slowed.Oct 26 00:04
tessierI'm looking forward to seeing a contraction.Oct 26 00:04
schestowitztessier: I will post contradictions tomorrow. I ran out of time today. Keep an eye on BN.Oct 26 00:06
schestowitzOne key point: they turn savings into acquisitions, i.e. revenue and artificial growth. Apple now has more money than Microsoft. It's easy to turn savings to sales... but for how long? Windows suffers.Oct 26 00:07

They didn't knew that rule-bending and voting against valid issues via committee stuffing would be common pratice.

twitterAh, here's the BB Nasty you were looking at.  He's been at this same angle for about a year.  http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/entde...Oct 26 01:13
twitterand people accuse Slashdot of running dupes.  This guy's got like 8 articles deriding  "conspiracy theorists"Oct 26 01:14
schestowitz8? I rebutted about 4.Oct 26 01:15
schestowitzHere's a 'conspiracy': http://www.groklaw.net/newsitems.phpOct 26 01:16
schestowitz"Now we know. Watch out for Nokia. Microsoft suddenly likes the Eclipse Foundation too. Here's the very smooth Sam Ramji on the subject. "It's all about the developer," he says. Well, not if you're an end user. End users benefit from the GPL and we know it. There's a project regarding Eclipse tools for Silverlight now. Just what you were hoping for."Oct 26 01:16
schestowitz"Not. It was probably predictable when Ward Cunningham left Microsoft to join Eclipse years ago. I believe it's all part of Microsoft's hatred for the GPL, its determination to kill it off and make everyone use BSD-like licenses instead (so it can proprietize whatever it pleases).."Oct 26 01:17
schestowitz"...and its determination to redefine Open Source to mean visible code that Microsoft controls through patents instead of copyright. If you are stupid, you'll help them. Thanks for nothing, Nokia. Licenses matter, as this latest shift should tell you in clear strokes" Well, obviously. I wrote about Symbian as swpats and DRM yesterday (or the day before)Oct 26 01:17
twitterDo a google search for BB and Boycott Novell and count the results if you want a more accurate number.  I've got 4 slam jobs in my poison pen list.Oct 26 01:18
schestowitzMaybe it's being more abrasive that gets BN scrutinizedOct 26 01:19
twitterNot all of them are about you.  He's blithered in general, without naming targets.Oct 26 01:20
twitterI think he wants controversy and traffic.Oct 26 01:20
schestowitztwitter: he wrote them in response to events without naming them. It's the timing... lesson inhistory.Oct 26 01:21
twitterI don't think he's worth worrying about.  How many people visiting Linux.com want to read articles about troll wars and flaks?Oct 26 01:22
twitterMost would be offended by his GL slams.Oct 26 01:23
twitterand his very big head.Oct 26 01:23
schestowitzI don't know. His blog though got in over a year what BN gets in 3 days.Oct 26 01:23

schestowitzMay Jo is better.Oct 26 15:05
schestowitzQuite boring as of later though.Oct 26 15:05
schestowitzNot much happening in MS land, product-wiseOct 26 15:05
GoblinRFDI had an argument with Benton, and to be honest his knowledge about MS and related issues is way above mine.  HOct 26 15:06
GoblinRFDIm just a coder, not a financial/contract expertOct 26 15:07
GoblinRFDI cant work out what he is meaning by....."Two notable works citing 6826744 are patents by IBM for machine constructed software and Microsoft for automated simulation of generated software. That's right. Dinky little VCSY has such IP as a foundation."Oct 26 15:08
GoblinRFDdo you have a clue about this?Oct 26 15:09
schestowitzBenton?Oct 26 15:10
schestowitzOs that a real name?Oct 26 15:10
schestowitz*IsOct 26 15:10
GoblinRFDYeah it was part of Bentons argumentOct 26 15:10
GoblinRFDand im not sure if Benton is his real name.Oct 26 15:10
schestowitzIBM is still part of the patent problem.Oct 26 15:11
schestowitzAnd yet, IBM won't attack developers of free software, whereas Microsoft might. It's still intimidating.Oct 26 15:11
schestowitzIBM could go nasty as well (maybe even Sun) it its survival depended on it, but the management isn't scummy, so I tend to doubt it.Oct 26 15:12
GoblinRFDthis may sound thick, but how? I have assisted on opensource projects, s/Oct 26 15:13
GoblinRFDand I just cant understand how MS or IBM could threaten opensource.Oct 26 15:13
GoblinRFDthe reason Im asking is that I am new to the legal theory behind it.Oct 26 15:14
GoblinRFDI have never paid it any interest in the past and just kept "doing my thing"Oct 26 15:15
GoblinRFDso all these debates by the likes of Benton about the end of opensource  are pretty alien to me.Oct 26 15:15
schestowitzWhat context did that appear under?Oct 26 15:16
schestowitzCompanies try to prevent software from being free by changing the laws.Oct 26 15:16

twitterMasnick is verbose, "  Thus, his argument is that we really should focus on mechanisms to avoid lawsuits to allow those products to move forward.  Thus, licensing is preferable to lawsuits.  That's true, but misses the point.  The fact that no complex product can be brought to market without violating numerous patents should be seen as the problem, rather than a truism that is solved through licensing.
