|---|
| zer0c00l | yeah | Feb 09 02:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | We made Digg's front page some minutes ago | Feb 09 02:11 |

| zer0c00l | you dont have latest version of apache? | Feb 09 02:12 |

| schestowitz | That's the stable 1.3. branch, I think | Feb 09 02:12 |

| zer0c00l | oh | Feb 09 02:12 |

| schestowitz | Don't visit BN now | Feb 09 02:13 |

| schestowitz | I have the pages impacted cached | Feb 09 02:13 |

| schestowitz | You can watch comment here < http://digg.com/linux_unix/How_Micr... >, but don't follow the link to BN. Just stay in Digg. | Feb 09 02:14 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | yeah, it took little bit time to load | Feb 09 02:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I think the item you helped me with might make Digg's front page as well. | Feb 09 02:14 |

| schestowitz | ZiggyFish: what did he approach you about? | Feb 09 11:41 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Internet Explorers Secuirty permissions stuffed up so everything icon on my desktop of my admin account was coming up with the permission denied message | Feb 09 11:41 |

|---|
| oiaohm | Google saved my life today | Feb 09 11:54 |
|---|
| ZiggyFish | yeah, ' I know that in your Linux bubble you're trained to think that Linux / Open Source is the end-all be-all of software innovation, but I've never seen Linux do anything original ... That's what happens when you have thousands of technically capable engineers and zero creativity, vision, or direction.' | Feb 09 11:54 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Had 200 users I had to get added to the server for the end of day. | Feb 09 11:54 |
|---|
| ZiggyFish | wow | Feb 09 11:55 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Last thing you want is a broken admin account. | Feb 09 11:55 |

| *burmas (n=thomas@25-178-112-217.dyn.adsl.belcenter.be) has left #boycottnovell ("Konversation terminated!") | Feb 09 11:55 |
| oiaohm | Linux kernel itself is not really the of innovation. | Feb 09 11:56 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Its more taking the great ideas of all OS's and merging them into 1 kernel. | Feb 09 11:56 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Now if MS did that more they might have not stuffed up there real time support in there kernel. | Feb 09 11:57 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Is my normal answer to that. | Feb 09 11:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Microsoft claims it owns Linux. | Feb 09 11:57 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Solarias would have a larger claim. | Feb 09 11:57 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Thinking most of the great bits are clones of there system. | Feb 09 11:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Do they have patents on UNIX systems? | Feb 09 11:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I mean, they sure do | Feb 09 11:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ZFS patents.. makes you wonder about Linux filesystems inc. btrfs | Feb 09 11:58 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yes they do but only used against people dumb enough to patent attack them. | Feb 09 11:58 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Sun also has most of the key patents to make motherboards. | Feb 09 11:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm | If Sun was not patent friendly you would not have the computer you are now typing on. | Feb 09 11:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Sun friendlyness has got them unstuck a lot. | Feb 09 12:01 |
|---|
| oiaohm | ELF fileformat used by Linux Designed by Sun. | Feb 09 12:01 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Hm.... | Feb 09 12:04 |
|---|
| ZiggyFish | what to say to this: | Feb 09 12:04 |
|---|
| ZiggyFish | Rag on it all you want, even though you haven't used it and know nothing about it. The market will prove Windows 7 to be Microsoft's most successful release since Windows 95. It is the nail in the coffin for Linux on netbooks, the one in-road that Linux had and utterly wasted. | Feb 09 12:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Well, I wish they well mostly. | Feb 09 12:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ZiggyFish: that's called "Slog" | Feb 09 12:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I heard it about Vista/Longhorn all over the place in 05'-06' | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm | LOL | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Linux is unkillable. | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Even in 07' it lasted for a while, but /REAL/ users were bitching enough to force Microsoft into the corner. | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Is Windows 7 going to be embeded in Bios | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | In early 2008 even gates and Ballmer gave up on pretense. | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Linux is going to be by the time 7 gets released. | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm | So its here to stay. | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm: they wanted to | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They didn't manage of course | Feb 09 12:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Just more vapourware | Feb 09 12:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Think about WinMin | Feb 09 12:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Or other features that they /promised/ (to create a mythical image of an OS) | Feb 09 12:06 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Issue here Linux wants MS fighting on motherboard embeded. | Feb 09 12:06 |
|---|
| oiaohm | There we can kick the crap out of MS. | Feb 09 12:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's happening already | Feb 09 12:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Phoenix and ASUS taking the lead | Feb 09 12:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Microsoft is playing dirty ther.e | Feb 09 12:06 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Exacty | Feb 09 12:07 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Problem is splashtop is currently just MS bate. | Feb 09 12:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | http://boycottnovell.com/2008/05/15/eula-... | Feb 09 12:07 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Come on to embed where OS's go at 1 cent a copy. | Feb 09 12:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm: it is | Feb 09 12:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They fight it | Feb 09 12:07 |

| oiaohm | Also motherboard makers want to audit source code embeded. | Feb 09 12:09 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Basically Linux next wave of attack. Embeded in motherboard expanding there feature sets. | Feb 09 12:09 |
|---|
| oiaohm | You can already hack vista password from asus splashtops. | Feb 09 12:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Learn from BeOS | Feb 09 12:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Microsoft will fight this tooth and nail | Feb 09 12:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yes expected | Feb 09 12:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Issue here its not winning as such. | Feb 09 12:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Its cutting MS profit lines. | Feb 09 12:10 |
|---|
| MinceR | they already are fighting all-out | Feb 09 12:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Its like a game of chess | Feb 09 12:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm | You don't need to beat the other side if you can trick them into giving up there pieces for nothing. | Feb 09 12:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Issue with Linux is that it does not have that many weakness. | Feb 09 12:12 |
|---|
| ZiggyFish | what's a word to discribe the deals that Microsoft has with OEM? | Feb 09 12:12 |
|---|
| oiaohm | most of those deals are craking. | Feb 09 12:13 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Embed on motherboard saves having to teach back yarders how to install there first Linux too. | Feb 09 12:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Collusion? | Feb 09 12:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Blackmail? (using margins as a bargaining card) | Feb 09 12:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm: yes, agreed. | Feb 09 12:14 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Also splashtop works as advertising to get people asking questions. | Feb 09 12:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Beos failed because it really could not get it self in the markets face. | Feb 09 12:15 |
|---|
| MinceR | it also helps inflate installed base numbers :> | Feb 09 12:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm: no, illegal tactics | Feb 09 12:16 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Illegal tactics blocked people from interacting with it schestowitz | Feb 09 12:16 |
|---|
| oiaohm | So death happened. | Feb 09 12:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | http://boycottnovell.com/wiki/index.php?title... | Feb 09 12:16 |
|---|
| oiaohm | How can MS block motherboard makers. | Feb 09 12:17 |
|---|
| oiaohm | You cannot really threaten them Because without them you don't have a market. | Feb 09 12:17 |
|---|
| MinceR | they might threaten OEMs to not use mainboards from such manufacturers | Feb 09 12:18 |
|---|
| MinceR | as long as there's a choice | Feb 09 12:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | See ۦۦ13.-141 | Feb 09 12:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Linux embeded on motherboards. | Feb 09 12:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm | So threating OEMs don't remove it. | Feb 09 12:18 |
|---|
| MinceR | OEMs decide what mainboard to put into their computers | Feb 09 12:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Linux has found the mega loop hole in MS defence. | Feb 09 12:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | ۦ124; 137-141 | Feb 09 12:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm | People buy the motherboards with the Most features MinceR | Feb 09 12:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yep nailed | Feb 09 12:19 |
|---|
| MinceR | most of the market is prebuilt PCs, isn't it? | Feb 09 12:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Still people buy them with the most features. | Feb 09 12:19 |
|---|
| ZiggyFish | does IBM's installable file system (IFS) work in kernel or userspace? | Feb 09 12:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | If a dell has a feature the other one does at the same cost you buy the dell. | Feb 09 12:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Opps left out a not | Feb 09 12:20 |
|---|
| MinceR | m$ can manipulate costs though | Feb 09 12:20 |
|---|
| oiaohm | MS can manipulate costs to there advantage or to there harm. | Feb 09 12:28 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Hmm wonder if expressgate installer works from reactos. | Feb 09 12:32 |
|---|
| oiaohm | As with all plans alway prepare plan B. | Feb 09 12:33 |

| ZiggyFish | centos looks good (played around with it today) | Feb 09 12:33 |

|---|
| ZiggyFish | 'If only because of Microsoft's illegal, anti-competitive and collusive deals with OEMs that are under investigation by the EU.' sound good to the above statement from brendon? | Feb 09 12:48 |

| oiaohm | This is a tame OS to what I normally use. | Feb 09 12:48 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I normally using openvz and 4 to 5 distributions side by side. | Feb 09 12:48 |

| *ZiggyFish likes the name brendon, however it is spelled wrongly ;). | Feb 09 12:50 |
| oiaohm | I am really looking forward to kernel mode switching and dri2 so I can start workign on a interface to all distributions in 1 system. | Feb 09 12:50 |
|---|
| ZiggyFish | schestowitz: if all delivery people only offer one solution, how can other solutions succeed? | Feb 09 12:52 |

| Eruaran | hi | Feb 09 12:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Hi, Eruaran | Feb 09 13:00 |
|---|
| Eruaran | any interesting news ? | Feb 09 13:01 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'll do the next smoking gun shortly.. but needs caching... It's a matter of necessity. VPS would be expensive, so use distributed cache to handle the load (we deliver over 30k pages/day from only one quad-core server). | Feb 09 13:01 |
|---|
| Eruaran | ok | Feb 09 13:02 |
|---|
| schestowitz | We might also do a book | Feb 09 13:02 |
|---|
| Eruaran | you're certainly gathering quite a profile | Feb 09 13:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Thanks, I think we can organise information better. Also, time permits this now because I offload some academic workloads. | Feb 09 13:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | There is hardly any news because the whole industry enters "brace" mode < http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/ar... >. This leaves room for creativity (things are otherwise static). | Feb 09 13:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm | By restarting and changing the dominate OS MinceR at moment. | Feb 09 13:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So the question is, write some literature or process more Comes? I guess both are related, so why not both? I'm waiting to hear from someone. | Feb 09 13:06 |
|---|
| oiaohm | DRI2 and kernel mode switching opens up the way to avoid that evil. | Feb 09 13:06 |
|---|
| MinceR | ic | Feb 09 13:06 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Kernel mode switching allows multiable X11 server to be run. | Feb 09 13:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | 4 years ago MATLAB approached me to suggest that I write a book, but it pretty much just serves them, the company, which makes non-Free software. But anyway, that was then when I was busy with the PhD. Times have changed. | Feb 09 13:07 |
|---|
| MinceR | and for DRI2, the proprietary drivers would need to be changed, right? | Feb 09 13:07 |
|---|
| MinceR | even for KMS? | Feb 09 13:07 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Nvidia's is going to be a bugger. | Feb 09 13:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Great news..! | Feb 09 13:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | http://www.reuters.com/article/ma... | Feb 09 13:07 |
|---|
| oiaohm | ATI VIA and Intel are well down the path to DRI2 and KMS drivers. | Feb 09 13:08 |
|---|
| schestowitz | A recent report (last week) showed Linux gaining a lot in smartphones thanks to Android and today's there's this in LXer: http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3944.html | Feb 09 13:08 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Google is also out to win the OS war. | Feb 09 13:12 |
|---|
| Eruaran | I don't think Google is out to win any OS war | Feb 09 13:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Cloud maybe. | Feb 09 13:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I.e. owning people's info | Feb 09 13:14 |
|---|
| Eruaran | maybe | Feb 09 13:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Winning the hard-rive wars | Feb 09 13:14 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Google needs to kill MS so MS cannot harm it. | Feb 09 13:16 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That is what Google would class as winning. | Feb 09 13:16 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Certainly charging people small fees for the use some of their cloud space is more up Google's alley | Feb 09 13:16 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Nothing left alive to cause bias in the market other than them. | Feb 09 13:16 |
|---|
| Eruaran | but that might not be Google's goal | Feb 09 13:16 |
|---|
| ZiggyFish | anyway it's 11:17pm here. time to go to bed, c ya all ( very very very very hot ), Victoria on Saturday got up to 47 C (and ATM their is a big bush fire down their and has cause 108 deaths already (and death toll is still rising). Lucky I live in Queensland though. | Feb 09 13:16 |
|---|
| Eruaran | they might prefer to have people freely use their cloud space and create a market in that space that they can monetize, weather advertising or whatever I dunno... I have come to expect the unexpected | Feb 09 13:17 |
|---|
| *ZiggyFish (n=brendan@123-243-163-103.static.tpgi.com.au) has left #boycottnovell | Feb 09 13:18 |

| schestowitz | Yes, but what about apps | Feb 09 13:28 |

| twitter | The Fairey story is nasty. They are slapping down a prominent "trouble maker" to assert their authority. | Feb 09 16:22 |

| MinceR | has anyone, ever, in the world, managed to install the blight upon IT known as virtualbox from source? | Feb 09 16:29 |
|---|
| twitter | no, I just use the debian package | Feb 09 16:30 |
|---|
| MinceR | well, the newest OSE package i have for this machine contains a bug in the kernel module that corrupts memory and crashes the system | Feb 09 16:30 |
|---|
| MinceR | it's typical sun "open source", i guess | Feb 09 16:31 |
|---|
| twitter | ah, you might do better fixing the kernel module. | Feb 09 16:31 |
|---|
| MinceR | "you can have the source but we'll be damned if you'll ever get any use from it!" | Feb 09 16:31 |
|---|
| MinceR | or i might do better learning KVM and reinstalling my VMs there | Feb 09 16:31 |
|---|
| twitter | I doubt the problem is intentional, unless M$ put a mole in. | Feb 09 16:32 |
|---|
| MinceR | m$ doesn't need any moles there, sun hates open source ever since it killed slowlaris. | Feb 09 16:33 |
|---|

|---|
| twitter | Sabotage may be all they ever had. | Feb 09 16:35 |
|---|
| twitter | Virtualbox is slow without the kernel modules. What are you trying to make work? | Feb 09 16:35 |
|---|
| MinceR | i'm trying to install the newer version of the damn thing | Feb 09 16:36 |
|---|
| MinceR | where this stupid bug is supposed to be fixed | Feb 09 16:36 |
|---|
| MinceR | i've compiled it | Feb 09 16:36 |
|---|
| MinceR | but there's no way to install it or to make a binary package | Feb 09 16:36 |
|---|
| MinceR | so all i have is a pile of binaries in some directories with no information about where they should be put | Feb 09 16:37 |
|---|
| MinceR | there's a debian/ directory in the tarball but i don't know what to do with it | Feb 09 16:37 |
|---|
| MinceR | i think the trick is that only the initiated can install it | Feb 09 16:37 |
|---|
| MinceR | so anyone can have the source but it's useless | Feb 09 16:38 |
|---|
| twitter | I think I understand that part. What do you want Virtualbox to do for you? | Feb 09 16:39 |
|---|
| twitter | have you tried the Debian source code package? http://packages.debian.org/lenny/vir... | Feb 09 16:40 |
|---|

|---|
| MinceR | i know, it's a lot to expect | Feb 09 16:41 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | me too using virtual box.. | Feb 09 16:41 |
|---|
| MinceR | i'm not sure if the source package will work with a version of ubuntu it wasn't intended for | Feb 09 16:41 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | but never tried to compile it from source | Feb 09 16:41 |
|---|
| twitter | That is a lot to expect... better to learn on a non production machine. | Feb 09 16:41 |
|---|
| MinceR | i don't have the time for that now | Feb 09 16:42 |
|---|
| MinceR | besides, there's no way i'll let this piece of shit on my personal machine again | Feb 09 16:42 |
|---|
| MinceR | i hope sun goes bankrupt soon | Feb 09 16:42 |

|---|
| schestowitz | Just got a copy.. | Feb 09 21:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "Dear IETF: There appears to be a show-stopper in draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.txt https://datatracker.ietf.org/idtracker/ballot/2081/ It appears that the proposed standard is patent-encumbered." | Feb 09 21:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "1) This violates the EU definition of open standard; 2) It hinders, and in some cases, prevents *use*, and use is what standards are about. So as such it threatens to impair e-commerce and general web security; 3) It puts the IETF in a bad light to have allowed an apparently patent encumbered payload to get so far along in the standards discussion" | Feb 09 21:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "The solution is to remove any items claimed to be patented, or else follow the EU's requirements for open standard and put in writing that there are no constraints on re-use. Grant the copyright and patents irrevocably, royalty-free for implementation, use and distribution." | Feb 09 21:10 |
