| schestowitz | Great article: http://www.itwire.com/content/v... | Apr 15 01:37 |
| balzac | great headline | Apr 15 03:00 |
| balzac | Now it would be nice if some organization with deeper pockets would bow to the principles of Free Software - with a huge cash donation. | Apr 15 03:05 |
| balzac | some company which begins with a G... | Apr 15 03:05 |
| balzac | and ends with an "oogle" | Apr 15 03:05 |
| balzac | so the Hurd project could fund hardware compatibility development | Apr 15 03:06 |
| balzac | just basic hardware compatibility so the project comes back out of hibernation | Apr 15 03:06 |
| balzac | nothing fancy... | Apr 15 03:06 |
| balzac | The fact is, hardware compatibility is a moving target | Apr 15 03:11 |
| balzac | if the hardware manufacturers don't choose to cooperate, it's a losing battle to try to interoperate with them | Apr 15 03:12 |
| balzac | one of the very annoying canard is the idea that the hurd project lost developers' interest for lack of technical merit | Apr 15 03:13 |
| balzac | it was lack of corporate support, which the Linux kernel received | Apr 15 03:13 |
| balzac | and the hurd kernel did not receive, because the design was so advanced and the project initiator so consumed with freedom and innovation | Apr 15 03:14 |
| balzac | it's a shame and it needs to be corrected - with money to fund compatibility work | Apr 15 03:14 |
| balzac | and deals with low-end cpu makers | Apr 15 03:15 |

| schestowitz | Small DBs, esp. Web-based use sqlite or mysql | Apr 15 10:29 |

| schestowitz | "The author is totally wrong. Solaris (OpenSolaris) is Sun's differentiator.

| schestowitz | I think that the "Sun-setting" headlines are overstated. Look at Sun's recent quarters; 4 profitable quarters in a row prior to the start of the recession (the recession hit Sun in their qtr ending March 2008.) The only accurate criticism of Sun has been and continues to be that they haven't balanced their cost structure with their revenues in the post-dotcom world." | Apr 15 12:33 |

| kentma | Sun will most likely survive; one of the main reasons is that unlike Novell and SCO, they haven't been basing their business models on squeezing their customers for licences to use computers generally. They also have Java, and even Solaris, although I suspect that releasing Solaris into the wild might be a good move, for Sun to do it effectively, it would need to have built up an alternative revenue model, or it would just go bust quickly. | Apr 15 12:36 |

| schestowitz | DaemonFC: the microphone thing came up before. It's just you/your hardware,not Flash | Apr 15 12:47 |
| DaemonFC | no, it's a Flash issue | Apr 15 12:47 |
| schestowitz | I only ever use Flash for videos that could equally well be using Ogg | Apr 15 12:47 |
| schestowitz | There's nothing inherent in Flash that I need. It just wraps some video stream | Apr 15 12:47 |
| DaemonFC | General webcam and microphone functionality is not enabled. (239246) | Apr 15 12:47 |
| DaemonFC | from their release notes | Apr 15 12:47 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not the only one that's ran into it | Apr 15 12:48 |
| schestowitz | Who uses Flash for chats? Some few sites might | Apr 15 12:48 |
| DaemonFC | Ustream uses it | Apr 15 12:49 |
| schestowitz | But anyway, I did not know that | Apr 15 12:49 |
| DaemonFC | so if you're on a 64-bit Linux distro you can't use your microphone with flash | Apr 15 12:49 |
| DaemonFC | even if it's 32-bit flash in a 32-bit browser | Apr 15 12:49 |
| DaemonFC | though that will still pick up your video stream | Apr 15 12:50 |
| DaemonFC | Adobe has gone the Nvidia route....."Customers shouldn't have to debug their own software so why should we provide source code?" followed by "Our users tell us feature X doesn't work, this is a known issue and will be fixed by us alone whenever the hell we feel like fixing it" | Apr 15 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Apr 15 12:51 |
| schestowitz | Oh wait. | Apr 15 12:51 |

| iwmw | wasn't adobe always like that, DaemonFC ? | Apr 15 12:53 |
| DaemonFC | so I either have to dual boot Linux with Linux or I have to just use 32-bit Linux with a PAE kernel, or I can leave XP on a partition since I already have a license for that and when some other problem crops up where I need Windows, I have XP | Apr 15 12:53 |

| schestowitz | "Here're a few hints: | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | - GNOME was originally developed by Miguel de Icaza | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | - Miguel de Icaza then turned into a Microsoft fanboi | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | - Miguel de Icaza started and spearheaded the MONO project | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | - The MONO project is sponsored in large part by Novell | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | And as a bonus: | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | - Miguel de Icaza worked (at least for a while) at Microsoft. | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | You put it together. The circle is complete." | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | But he didn't work for Microsoft, did he? he tried to. | Apr 15 14:39 |
| schestowitz | His colleague Nat Friedman worked for Microsoft for quite some time | Apr 15 14:40 |
| trmanco | he uses windows now | Apr 15 14:41 |
| trmanco | so bad for him | Apr 15 14:41 |
| trmanco | just because he started gnome, that doesn't mean he is "the boss of gnome" does it? | Apr 15 14:42 |
| schestowitz | trmanco: "Maybe it’s finally time we put some serious consideration into a Compiz Desktop Environment. With GNOME pretty much throwing us aside on support and with KWin replicating our features left and right, it’s hard to stay on board." | Apr 15 14:42 |
| schestowitz | That's interesting | Apr 15 14:42 |
| schestowitz | I did wonder how KWin so quickly got all the eye candy of Compiz | Apr 15 14:42 |
| schestowitz | I reckons they just rip and replaces code. | Apr 15 14:42 |
| schestowitz | trmanco: who uses Windows? | Apr 15 14:42 |
| schestowitz | Other than de Icaza with his WIndows-only script he raved about a while ago? | Apr 15 14:42 |
| trmanco | Icaza I guess | Apr 15 14:43 |
| schestowitz | Any proof? | Apr 15 14:43 |
| schestowitz | GNOME was created by a lot of people | Apr 15 14:43 |
| trmanco | I saw a video a while back, he was using windows | Apr 15 14:43 |
| schestowitz | Can you find it , please? | Apr 15 14:43 |
| trmanco | I'll try to find proof | Apr 15 14:43 |

| trmanco | he also shares stuff from linux haters | Apr 15 14:47 |
| schestowitz | Well, he KNOWS the person | Apr 15 14:49 |
| schestowitz | Whether he's a friend of his or not, he knows the person and therefore probably feels similarly | Apr 15 14:49 |

| trmanco | can't find the video for now, so my claim was false... for now | Apr 15 14:56 |
