| schestowitz | A look at the current software patents situation in the US and EU: http://boycottnovell.com/2009/04/06/… | Apr 06 07:45 |
| oiaohm | Google was keeping a lot more secrect like 100 percent custom made motherboard for them. | Apr 06 07:55 |
| oiaohm | Supposs when ordering in Google numbers you can have what ever you like. | Apr 06 07:56 |
| schestowitz | Can anyone order these?  |
Apr 06 07:59 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: did you see this < http://www.kev009.com/wp/2009… >? | Apr 06 08:04 |
| oiaohm | Gigabyte made the board that google has but no you cannot order it. | Apr 06 08:05 |
| oiaohm | That merge was to be expected it was going to be 2.6.30 or 2.6.31 | Apr 06 08:05 |
| oiaohm | So its something is on time for once. | Apr 06 08:05 |
| oiaohm | Big annoyance it looks like ksm is going to be delayed for another cycle. | Apr 06 08:08 |
| oiaohm | Opps | Apr 06 08:08 |
| oiaohm | ksm is a used memory compression system. | Apr 06 08:08 |
| *iwmw (n=iwmw@intech.natm.ru) has joined #boycottnovell | Apr 06 08:10 | |
| oiaohm | http://lwn.net/Articles/306642/ << This feature I want schestowitz | Apr 06 08:11 |
| oiaohm | http://code.google.com/p/compcache/ << Also this is pushing for 2.6.31 | Apr 06 08:13 |
| iwmw | nice driver | Apr 06 08:15 |
| oiaohm | Still needs more test but yes one mainline it will be nice. | Apr 06 08:16 |
| oiaohm | one/once | Apr 06 08:16 |
| iwmw | what kind of tests? | Apr 06 08:19 |
| iwmw | if it scans for identical and merges and split at a change time it should be quite allright | Apr 06 08:20 |
| iwmw | performance loss should be rather great at plenty of splits | Apr 06 08:20 |
| oiaohm | Ok ksm that is patent dispute betwen vmware and Linux. compcache is plan b it needs proper testing run on it. | Apr 06 08:21 |
| oiaohm | Yes its pure stupid if identical blocks are found when they get pushed to the swap vmware patent does not apply. | Apr 06 08:24 |
| schestowitz | It’s interesting that VMware is now in the hands of Microsofters because of patents too | Apr 06 08:30 |
| iwmw | in which way compcache can interfere with someone’s patents? | Apr 06 08:38 |
| iwmw | or ksm | Apr 06 08:40 |
| oiaohm | ksm steps on vmwares. | Apr 06 08:43 |
| iwmw | it’s just like saying that bubble-sort can interfere with someone’s patent on sorting as a an abstract idea | Apr 06 08:43 |
| oiaohm | The process of making pages be shared. | Apr 06 08:44 |
| oiaohm | vmware patented it for there virtual machine and hypervisor. | Apr 06 08:44 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz ms attack on vmware is also about the same patent. | Apr 06 08:44 |
| iwmw | it just doesn’t make sense | Apr 06 08:45 |
| oiaohm | If you are running multiable the same virtual machines. | Apr 06 08:45 |
| iwmw | you can’t patent “addition ova natural numbers” | Apr 06 08:45 |
| oiaohm | Compressing used memory between them is really useful. | Apr 06 08:45 |
| oiaohm | Even better if its using the cpu memory management to make it transparant. | Apr 06 08:46 |
| iwmw | as a ratio at which it stops caching or uses lighter algorithms or parameters of it | Apr 06 08:46 |
| oiaohm | Lot of software patents don’t make sence. | Apr 06 08:50 |
| MinceR | hay | Apr 06 08:57 |
| iwmw | patents shouldn’t exist | Apr 06 08:59 |
| iwmw | or be restricted in a very funny way | Apr 06 09:00 |

| schestowitz | Yes, I saw that | Apr 06 09:06 |
| oiaohm | Like having to visit every active volcano in the worlds after getting the patent to make it valid if you die or don’t do it patent rejected? iwmw | Apr 06 09:06 |
| schestowitz | BN is down at the moment, no idea why.. | Apr 06 09:06 |
| tacone | not down | Apr 06 09:06 |
| tacone | i see it. | Apr 06 09:06 |
| oiaohm | Its not down from me either schestowitz | Apr 06 09:09 |
| tacone | guess it was a moment. | Apr 06 09:09 |
| oiaohm | The network is still highly disrupted. | Apr 06 09:11 |
| schestowitz | tacone: yes, it’s back | Apr 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz | Just a hiccup for some minutes | Apr 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: why is it disrupted? | Apr 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz | I ask, I don’t know | Apr 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz | Sympton in this case: server accessible, site not responding even to W3C validator in Japan | Apr 06 09:13 |
| schestowitz | *Symptom | Apr 06 09:13 |
| oiaohm | Disrupts most likely be around for another few days. | Apr 06 09:13 |
| oiaohm | Let overs form the responce to the virus. | Apr 06 09:14 |
| tacone | oh | Apr 06 09:14 |
| tacone | the virus, yes | Apr 06 09:14 |
| tacone | i had some problems last days as well. | Apr 06 09:14 |
| tacone | didn’t thought it may be because that. | Apr 06 09:14 |
| iwmw | oiaohm: of course this patent is rejected | Apr 06 09:15 |
| iwmw | it can’t exist | Apr 06 09:15 |
| oiaohm | You don’t switch the internet into equal to death con 5 and turn to back off without issues. | Apr 06 09:16 |

| tacone | schestowitz: a good url (BN) url about ISO being worthless ? | Apr 06 09:17 |
| schestowitz | There’s “boycott ISO” | Apr 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz | From zoobab01 | Apr 06 09:18 |
| tacone | it’s empty | Apr 06 09:18 |
| tacone | do you have an article where you highlight iso being worth nothing ? | Apr 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz | Maybe this: http://boycottnovell.com/2008/04/… | Apr 06 09:32 |
| tacone | nice !! | Apr 06 09:32 |
| iwmw | obviously, boycottnovell.com is mostly a horror-news site |
Apr 06 09:52 |
| MinceR | the real world is horrible  |
Apr 06 09:52 |
| iwmw | but news about m$ making yet another step toward complete fail make it lighter | Apr 06 09:53 |
| schestowitz | iwmw: is that a compliment? horror-news?? | Apr 06 09:58 |
| schestowitz | Maybe Microsoft makes horror | Apr 06 09:59 |
| tacone | guess he referred to his feelings about the facts exposed | Apr 06 10:04 |
| iwmw | schestowitz: yeah, it does. someone should point at this horror so there’s always a way to make references to it. | Apr 06 10:05 |
| iwmw | and yeah, tacone, for me reading about it is compared to watching news on tv or watching a horror film | Apr 06 10:05 |
| iwmw | so i don’t watch horrors, boycottnovell.com is quite enough for me xD | Apr 06 10:06 |
| tacone | schestowitz: consider asking for legal age before loading photos of steve ballmer |
Apr 06 10:06 |
| schestowitz | Very weird… some girl who promotes Microsoft junk in India has just tried to connect to me in LinkedIn. Why? | Apr 06 10:06 |
| tacone | on linkedin is weird. | Apr 06 10:07 |
| schestowitz | We were fighting her MSP bulls* (getting schools hooked) on Microsoft | Apr 06 10:07 |
| schestowitz | Maybe to see who the person is connected to, who knows… | Apr 06 10:07 |
| tacone | reply with your email adress | Apr 06 10:07 |
| tacone | lol | Apr 06 10:07 |
| iwmw | may be she wants to ask stupid questions and make an article of fud | Apr 06 10:08 |
| tacone | going away. bb | Apr 06 10:08 |

| iwmw | wtf… | Apr 06 10:22 |
| iwmw | it should’ve been posted on the 1st of april | Apr 06 10:24 |
| schestowitz | But it’s no joke… nor a surprise | Apr 06 10:25 |
| schestowitz | Not for the UK anyway | Apr 06 10:25 |
| schestowitz | More quietly , the Register has been reporting about this for over a year. It’s been largely hush-hush | Apr 06 10:25 |
| MinceR | the problem is that now they’ve managed to make this an eu directive | Apr 06 10:26 |
| iwmw | twas written there only about uk | Apr 06 10:31 |

| schestowitz | Only by inferences, assuming the megacorps — not people — are the state | Apr 06 10:40 |
| MinceR | well, it’s likely that our “leaders” are fond of limiting freedoms themselves | Apr 06 10:41 |
| schestowitz | Remember that painting of “state is people” from france? | Apr 06 10:41 |

| iwmw | why should there be sw patents at all? | Apr 06 11:03 |
| Eruaran | Perhaps I should patent an arrangement of musical notes | Apr 06 11:04 |
| schestowitz | You can, if you have money to buy the law | Apr 06 11:05 |
| Eruaran | I would if I had the money | Apr 06 11:05 |
| Eruaran | If only to highlight the ridiculousness of it | Apr 06 11:05 |
| schestowitz | Piece together a sod story about poor musicians and economic impact of notes patentability | Apr 06 11:05 |
| Eruaran | I realised today that FOSS has actually influenced me in unforseen ways | Apr 06 11:07 |

| Eruaran | I thought I’d try last.fm | Apr 06 11:09 |
| Eruaran | But I was bored with most of it as most of what you hear is pretty mainstream | Apr 06 11:10 |
| Eruaran | There’s some nice ambient material though | Apr 06 11:10 |
| iwmw | chat by mibbit.com could possibly show number of users in the room | Apr 06 11:10 |
| iwmw | so it makes it much more attractive | Apr 06 11:11 |
| schestowitz | Thee’s a last.fm alternative | Apr 06 11:25 |
| schestowitz | New one.. AGPL-based | Apr 06 11:25 |
| MinceR | i’d patent the process of moving air into and out of the lungs | Apr 06 11:39 |
| MinceR | and then i’d demand a patent license from everyone who breathes | Apr 06 11:40 |
| MinceR | i mean i’d demand payment for that license :> | Apr 06 11:40 |
| iwmw | can the license get rejected? | Apr 06 11:40 |
| MinceR | of course, i’d have to kill everyone older than i am so they can’t show prior art | Apr 06 11:40 |
| schestowitz | licence for the apparatus called lung? | Apr 06 11:40 |
| MinceR | indeed | Apr 06 11:40 |
| MinceR | and its operation | Apr 06 11:40 |
| schestowitz | There’s a patent thicket there. | Apr 06 11:41 |
| iwmw | you could also patent a cost-free way to perform a killing in the state prisons | Apr 06 11:41 |
| schestowitz | Many infringements. The human anatomy leapfrogged science. | Apr 06 11:41 |
| iwmw | like rejecting the license | Apr 06 11:41 |
| amarsh04 | Debian unstable goes KDE 4.2: http://lists.debian.org/debian-… | Apr 06 11:46 |
| amarsh04 | If you run Debian unstable and want to stay at KDE 3.5.10, watch your updates | Apr 06 11:47 |
| iwmw | yeah, one of them will just remove 3.5.10 | Apr 06 11:52 |
| amarsh04 | too many of my kde apps need the kde3 libs | Apr 06 11:53 |
| MinceR | so they’re going to throw the kde3 libs away? | Apr 06 11:55 |
| amarsh04 | no MinceR, but I’d still like to run kde3 apps under kde 3.5.10, even though kde3 libs will be available to run kde3 apps under kde 4.2 | Apr 06 11:56 |
| MinceR | ic | Apr 06 11:56 |
| iwmw | when i installed 4.2.2 ova 3.5.10 the 3.5.10 got removed | Apr 06 12:02 |
| iwmw | twas mandriva 2009.0 | Apr 06 12:02 |
| iwmw | oh… twas ova 4.1.2 but there still were 3.5.10 apps and libs | Apr 06 12:05 |
| iwmw | 4.2.2 removed em | Apr 06 12:05 |
| amarsh04 | ouch iwmw… Debian seems to be trying for a more gradual change | Apr 06 12:35 |
| iwmw | i just remember that when i isntalled some part of kde422 the installer told me that smth like kde3510core and some other package are bothering so they gotta be removed | Apr 06 12:37 |
| schestowitz | Why not just wait until you install it fresh with KDE4? I’m still on Mandriva 2008.1 | Apr 06 12:38 |
| amarsh04 | some apps like quanta plus and rosegarden are nowhere near finished being ported to qt4/kde4 | Apr 06 12:38 |
| amarsh04 | nor k3b (k4b?) | Apr 06 12:38 |
| schestowitz | mandriva is working on it | Apr 06 12:42 |
| schestowitz | it’s being ported | Apr 06 12:42 |
| schestowitz | http://www.techworld.com.au/articl… | Apr 06 12:42 |
| amarsh04 | thanks schestowitz, I had read something similar recently | Apr 06 12:50 |
| iwmw | schestowitz: because mandriva 2009.0 comes with kde 4.1.2 and i better have 4.2.2 |

| oiaohm | Notice that k3b is also will be targeted at windows. | Apr 06 13:02 |
| schestowitz | Maybe they’ll appreciate it and come to GNU/Linux. That’s the hope anyway. | Apr 06 13:04 |
| oiaohm | Its more targeting cdrom drive makers. | Apr 06 13:04 |
| oiaohm | To be correct burning drive makes. | Apr 06 13:04 |
| oiaohm | If we can get k3b bundled with every drive produced compadbilty goes up. | Apr 06 13:05 |
| amarsh04 | there are still some issues with k3b and verifying burned cd’s/dvd’s | Apr 06 13:07 |
| oiaohm | check your version of cdrecord. | Apr 06 13:08 |
| amarsh04 | the original and copied discs match, but k3b doesn’t get it right | Apr 06 13:08 |
| oiaohm | I had verifying problems until I updates. | Apr 06 13:08 |
| amarsh04 | cdrecord 1.1.9 | Apr 06 13:09 |
| oiaohm | http://cdrecord.berlios.de/p… That is way old. | Apr 06 13:09 |
| oiaohm | Despute over licencing caused debian and others to be shipping old and no working versions of cdrecord | Apr 06 13:11 |
| amarsh04 | what I’m saying is that disks burn fine and their md5sums match the original data, but that k3b doesn’t agree | Apr 06 13:12 |
| oiaohm | Yes and cdrecord own internal way does not work. | Apr 06 13:14 |

| trmanco | schestowitz, many, but nothing related to that | Apr 06 20:18 |
| schestowitz | Now get this: “Fester: Quick Google Chrome is stealing too much mindshare, quick write up a BS techno report on a more secure browser. Don’t worry if it actually has to work, after all, we have no intention of ever building it. We just want to freeze migration to Chrome, at least until ‘Internet Explorer 8′ comes out.” Microsoft said it was like 5000 lines of code, IIRC. Vapourware! | Apr 06 20:18 |

| schestowitz | gPhone | Apr 06 21:09 |
| Carl_Rover2k12 | @schestowitz: any cellphone can be really considered a gPhone if it is compatible with and the user utilizes google apps for it. Even the iPhone is g to an extent due to its built in GoogleMaps functions | Apr 06 21:11 |

| schestowitz | Not necessarily a reflection of the whole. | Apr 06 21:17 |

| balzac | jk | Apr 06 21:18 |
| schestowitz | From my POV, Google has helped me a lot with information and entertainment, just like LATEX served as a good tool and so has GNU/Linux. Microsoft is another story altogether… like a hardware leech. | Apr 06 21:18 |

| balzac | I have a higher expectation of respect and payment of tribute for the “GNU-Father” than “open source” people. | Apr 06 21:19 |
| schestowitz | They take away his OWN code and proprietarise it to the extent that they can, using the network. | Apr 06 21:19 |

| schestowitz | Old news, still being brought up | Apr 06 21:54 |
| Carl_Rover2k12 | anyway I got to get going now, thanks for being the wealth of information which points out the wrong doings and abuses by businesses as well as government bodies being bankrolled by the afformentioned against indivisuals along with honest IPs | Apr 06 21:59 |
| Carl_Rover2k12 | IP= Intellectual Property | Apr 06 21:59 |
| schestowitz | Internet Protocol | Apr 06 21:59 |
| schestowitz | I hate having to use the term Intellectual Property in papers | Apr 06 21:59 |
| schestowitz | Here in the US it’s called UK-IPO too, which helps not at all | Apr 06 22:00 |
| Carl_Rover2k12 | @schestowitz: perhaps, but it is the way the legal system throughout North America and Europe define creative works and inventions. Its as hard to dislodge from their vocabular as it would be for programming to not call a menu for putting in text based commands into a terminal. Even if M$ insists on calling it a command prompt | Apr 06 22:02 |
| schestowitz | Yes, but it’s not a lingual/semantic issue alone | Apr 06 22:03 |
| schestowitz | The business and even academic world still discourage dissemination of knowledge | Apr 06 22:03 |

| Carl_Rover2k12 | @schestowitz: but is that the fault of the word, or how legal academia encourages milking it for any cent it could not even be worth so long as you can warp the opinions of others within the legal framework as it is? | Apr 06 22:05 |
| Carl_Rover2k12 | anyway I’ll leave this discussion to another time, been a pleasure chatting with you | Apr 06 22:07 |

Roy, could you please post these logs in a separate page so the blog posts are just a link to them? They are very large and make reading the home page or the RSS feed very hard.
