|---|
| schestowitz | Sunday, March 20, the San Jose Mercury News published a front page article on the agent provocatour, alias, Steve Barkto. The article quotes William Zachmann as saying he tracked down Mr. "Barkto" on his Compuserve forum, after this new member made disparaging remarks about IBM, and in particular, OS/2. | Nov 21 15:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Mr. "Barkto" is not a major customer of IBM, but an employee or agent of Microsoft. The account which this mole used, was paid for by the good old folks at MS. | Nov 21 15:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I wrote an letter to Congressman Norm Mineta (D-San Jose) asking that the U.S. Dept. of Justice look into unfair trade practices of MS. In particular, the relationship between computer system manufactures, and MS. | Nov 21 15:15 |

| schestowitz | "Without prejudice. Lovely SCO touch. If a creditors committee is suddenly formed, SCO is ready. Why now? I'm only guessing but probably they are tying off loose ends, because their time to file a reorganization plan is almost up. And despite investors being "so excited about the business prospects of working with SCO" that Stephen Norris mentioned at SCO's Tec Forum, so far nothing in writing to file with the court, so it does beg | Nov 21 21:09 |

| neighborlee | twitter, your infamous now ;)( | Nov 21 22:06 |
|---|
| neighborlee | I care..I dont care how many accounts you may have, its the quality of what you say that matters, that is all. | Nov 21 22:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They witch-hunt him. Very desperate of them... | Nov 21 22:07 |
|---|
| neighborlee | and now roy is a dictator..although all he and some of us have tried to do is show that things aren't as some may seem to indicate, and we usually do it without colorful adjecrives (sh** types), because foss and its users deserve to know about such things..if we're so bad , they must also include seth@gnome.org for his lunacy in finding all of this a nightmare,,and they must also pesecute RMS for his views, and apparantly debian | Nov 21 22:09 |
|---|
| neighborlee | develoers who see right past all of this as welll ;) | Nov 21 22:09 |
|---|
| neighborlee | btw I did sent seth a email,,ill let you know if he replies. | Nov 21 22:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Cool, thank you. | Nov 21 22:16 |
|---|
| neighborlee | im asking on #foresight, why mono is there..so far well, not geting very far :) | Nov 21 22:33 |
|---|
| MinceR | foresight sucks | Nov 21 22:34 |
|---|
| MinceR | because it uses conary, which sucks | Nov 21 22:34 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Foresight is very heavy on the Momo side | Nov 21 22:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Always been that way | Nov 21 22:37 |

| schestowitz | Sabayon is another hard one. | Nov 21 22:37 |

| PetoKraus | sabayon is umm | Nov 21 22:38 |

| PetoKraus | yesterday I was talking with my friend about their e2fstools messup | Nov 21 22:40 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | that was a funny one :) | Nov 21 22:40 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | basically, e2fstools was depending on com_err and ss in stable... then they stabilized next version of e2fstools, which needed e2fstools-utils, which conflicted with com_err and ss | Nov 21 22:42 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | which is alright, if only they did check depencencies | Nov 21 22:42 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | they didn't update kerberos dependencies, that means, for users with kerberos useflag enabled kerberos didn't work | Nov 21 22:42 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | that means openssl didn't work | Nov 21 22:42 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | that means wget didn't work | Nov 21 22:42 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | that means there was no way portage could fetch new sources ... | Nov 21 22:43 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | boom. | Nov 21 22:43 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Cheers! | Nov 21 22:44 |

| PetoKraus | funny thing was, unstable wasn't touched by this at all | Nov 21 22:44 |
