oiaohm | Changing the way drivers are done for NT would increase MS costs massively. | Jan 18 02:18 |
DaemonFC | it would instantly obsolete thousands of pieces of hardware | Jan 18 02:19 |
oiaohm | Its a chain of problems yuhong | Jan 18 02:19 |

ender2070 | DaemonFC - move to Canada already, you won't have to fear all your neighbors and you'll be able to marry your butt buddies | Jan 18 02:21 |
oiaohm | cost to fix has to include fixing all the layers with issues | Jan 18 02:21 |
oiaohm | NT lack of good solid boot certification. Linux has a option of kernel in bios that kind makes it really hard to bypass. | Jan 18 02:22 |
oiaohm | Lack of driver source to update for flaws as detect also exists on the NT side. | Jan 18 02:23 |
oiaohm | Poor setup of user rights. Ie making too many processes have more access rights than they need. | Jan 18 02:23 |

DaemonFC | or stealing your credit card and social security info | Jan 18 02:29 |
oiaohm | So you argument they are only interested in the areas that can compromise drm is wrong. | Jan 18 02:30 |
oiaohm | MS wanted DRM so they could sell it to media companies and make money. | Jan 18 02:30 |
DaemonFC | it's all they're working on | Jan 18 02:30 |
oiaohm | MS total interest is extracting money. | Jan 18 02:30 |
yuhong | I would not go that far. | Jan 18 02:30 |
DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: The library here uses WMA because they can DRM the audio book to time out after 20 days | Jan 18 02:30 |
oiaohm | That is based on there history yuhong | Jan 18 02:30 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: I miss paper already | Jan 18 02:31 |
oiaohm | Every time when its been an option between money and secuirty they have taken money yuhong | Jan 18 02:31 |
yuhong | I know. | Jan 18 02:31 |
DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: They seem to be unaware that you can record your sound card output | Jan 18 02:31 |
oiaohm | Ask some of the reactos developers sometime about direct x on XP compared to 2000 | Jan 18 02:31 |
DaemonFC | and turn it into an Ogg Vorbis or MP3 file | Jan 18 02:31 |
yuhong | This was supposed to go to DaemonFC. | Jan 18 02:31 |
DaemonFC | *shrugs* | Jan 18 02:31 |
oiaohm | Lot of safe guards were removed so XP would bench a little here. | Jan 18 02:31 |
oiaohm | Higher | Jan 18 02:31 |
oiaohm | So sell more copies. | Jan 18 02:31 |
oiaohm | Then Vista MS pushed the DRM side to sell DRM to media companies. | Jan 18 02:32 |
yuhong | I know. | Jan 18 02:32 |
oiaohm | Again its money. | Jan 18 02:32 |
yuhong | I know. | Jan 18 02:32 |
oiaohm | I cannot name anything MS has done for secuirty in the last 10 years that was not about money. | Jan 18 02:33 |
yuhong | I was trying to respond to DaemonFC. | Jan 18 02:33 |
DaemonFC | I prefer Audible though, you can get it in really high bitrate, and barely lose anything by converting it to Vorbis or Speex | Jan 18 02:33 |
yuhong | I was trying to respond to DaemonFC, not to oiaohm. | Jan 18 02:33 |
DaemonFC | I mainly use Vorbis for audio books cause my portable won't do Speex | Jan 18 02:33 |
yuhong | Sorry. | Jan 18 02:33 |
oiaohm | What do they need demo that WMA with timer can be recoded. | Jan 18 02:34 |
oiaohm | Without timer DaemonFC | Jan 18 02:34 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft has worked on and improved the parts of Windows that help them implement DRM | Jan 18 02:34 |
*yuhong has quit ("Page closed") | Jan 18 02:34 | |
DaemonFC | the new Windows audio stack is better, but it was only replaced so as to make DRM easier | Jan 18 02:34 |
oiaohm | There is a secound reason. | Jan 18 02:35 |
DaemonFC | the new Windows Display Driver Model is better, but it was only worked on to elp make DRM easier | Jan 18 02:35 |
oiaohm | The old stack did not work on multi cores either DaemonFC | Jan 18 02:35 |
oiaohm | MS was forced to tech upgrade. So while at it they built in DRM to make profit. DaemonFC | Jan 18 02:36 |
oiaohm | Also the Windows Display Driver update was catch apple and prevent compiz and the like leep frogging them at the time. | Jan 18 02:36 |

FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: nite | Jan 18 03:47 |
Eruaran | But I have just found out today | Jan 18 03:47 |
Eruaran | nite schestowitz | Jan 18 03:47 |
Eruaran | Microsoft has discontinued XP Pro but technically business customers can still use it | Jan 18 03:47 |
Eruaran | They are artificially inflating Windows 7 numbers by forcing people to buy Windows 7 | Jan 18 03:47 |
Eruaran | One of your business clients today needed to upgrade from Windows 2000 to XPP because of lack of driver support on newer hardware | Jan 18 03:48 |
FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: yep, same trick applied to vista figures. | Jan 18 03:49 |
Eruaran | According to Microsoft, if they buy Windows 7 Professional they can use one of their Windows XP Profesionally license keys to install XP on that system, then call Microsoft to tell them that they bought W7Pro and they are ok with that. | Jan 18 03:49 |
Eruaran | Windows 7 never gets installed, Windows XP does, but they have to buy a Windows 7 license. | Jan 18 03:50 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[thistleweb] My point is to figure how where the line is drawn, between a world of only-free, & rejecting all non-free, & how you expect to entice others | Jan 18 03:50 | |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[thistleweb] if a line to allow some non-free, with some form of compromise, then the "you must use only free" argument is hollow & hypocritical | Jan 18 03:52 | |
Eruaran | Microsoft is promoting the idea that 'business is embracing Windows 7', but its a complete crock. | Jan 18 03:53 |
ender2070 | well here is the idea | Jan 18 03:53 |
ender2070 | if they can get two businesses to embrace it they can make the claim "businesses are embracing windows 7" | Jan 18 03:54 |

oiaohm | Eruaran: MS forget to tell people. That enties like charities got free upgrades for Vista to Windows 7 in there usable licence keys and can isntall back to windows 2000 under that licence. | Jan 18 04:04 |
oiaohm | Yet everyone else is expect to pay for upgrades. | Jan 18 04:04 |

DaemonFC | they were the only state to vote against Nixon | Jan 18 04:57 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: awesome | Jan 18 04:57 |
DaemonFC | they kept Kennedy in that seat for like four decades | Jan 18 04:57 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: I'll remember that | Jan 18 04:57 |
DaemonFC | they are not a Republican state, and being a Republican there is signing your own death warrant | Jan 18 04:57 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: Nixon was a more toxic mutant monster than most people realise | Jan 18 04:57 |
DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: Nixon was egotistical and stupid | Jan 18 04:58 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: worse | Jan 18 04:58 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: like i say -- the reality is much worse than the popular image of nixon | Jan 18 04:58 |
DaemonFC | his illegal raid on the Democrats headquarters in DC was just boneheaded | Jan 18 04:58 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: that was a relatively small crime of his | Jan 18 04:59 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: but of course, what he's best known for | Jan 18 04:59 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: Kissinger was no better than Nixon either | Jan 18 04:59 |
DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: I doubt Watergate was half of the illegal corrupt bullshit he was doing | Jan 18 04:59 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: they competed to see whose psychosis was more corrupt | Jan 18 04:59 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: a tiny fraction | Jan 18 04:59 |
DaemonFC | the reason he got exposed was cause he declared war on the other major US party | Jan 18 04:59 |
DaemonFC | usually they cover for each other, but not when their offices are being illegally raided :P | Jan 18 05:00 |
DaemonFC | that's where it stops | Jan 18 05:00 |
Eruaran | crunchbang looks cool | Jan 18 05:00 |
Eruaran | I might download it | Jan 18 05:00 |
DaemonFC | Wasn't that Ubuntu with E17 or something? | Jan 18 05:01 |
DaemonFC | Openbox.......You're serious? | Jan 18 05:01 |
Eruaran | something light | Jan 18 05:03 |
Diablo-D3 | FurnaceBoy: WORSE? | Jan 18 05:03 |
Diablo-D3 | dude | Jan 18 05:03 |
Diablo-D3 | nixon is the only president in recent history that can actually be called a traitor | Jan 18 05:03 |
DaemonFC | do you need some expanded memory for your 286? | Jan 18 05:03 |
DaemonFC | or are you a masochist with a nice PC? | Jan 18 05:03 |
Diablo-D3 | he was unofficially thrown out of office | Jan 18 05:03 |
Diablo-D3 | it was a race between him leaving office or him being impeached | Jan 18 05:04 |
Diablo-D3 | and if he would have been impeached he would have been thrown in jail | Jan 18 05:04 |
Diablo-D3 | without question | Jan 18 05:04 |
DaemonFC | his VP, Spiro Agnew, resigned over corruption too | Jan 18 05:04 |
DaemonFC | before Nixon | Jan 18 05:04 |
Eruaran | I'm thinking of using it for servicing as a live cd or usb | Jan 18 05:04 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: right, but most people don't realise how utterly debased he was | Jan 18 05:04 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: they just know he was somehow bad | Jan 18 05:04 |
DaemonFC | then Nixon named Gerald Ford as VP, then Nixon resigns | Jan 18 05:05 |
DaemonFC | and Ford pardons Nixon immediately | Jan 18 05:05 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: and Kissinger wins Nobel Peace Prize. Which is even more offensive than Obama winning it. | Jan 18 05:05 |
Eruaran | I still struggle to understand what Obama won it for | Jan 18 05:05 |
DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: Kissinger winning it was disgusting | Jan 18 05:05 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: understatement | Jan 18 05:06 |
DaemonFC | such a vile, contemptible asshole | Jan 18 05:06 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: war criminal along with it | Jan 18 05:06 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: will never be accountable, but at least can no longer visit France :D | Jan 18 05:06 |
DaemonFC | Nobel Prizes never go to anyone that deserves them | Jan 18 05:06 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: ...or many other countries which upload law | Jan 18 05:07 |
DaemonFC | Al Gore got one for the global warming bullshit | Jan 18 05:07 |
FurnaceBoy | uphold* | Jan 18 05:07 |
DaemonFC | Obama got one for not doing anything at all | Jan 18 05:07 |
FurnaceBoy | perpetuating war. | Jan 18 05:07 |
Diablo-D3 | FurnaceBoy: dude, they could see.... Nixon | Jan 18 05:07 |
Diablo-D3 | the new movie | Jan 18 05:07 |
DaemonFC | so Obama was probably the least corrupt Nobel Prize decision in decades | Jan 18 05:07 |
Diablo-D3 | that was out last year | Jan 18 05:07 |
Diablo-D3 | its a pretty good dramatization of it | Jan 18 05:07 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: I doubt that goes far enough in the depiction | Jan 18 05:07 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: but they could, yes. | Jan 18 05:07 |
Diablo-D3 | the guy who plays him is _perfect_ | Jan 18 05:07 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: too much focus on Watergate on not enough on the worse stuff he did | Jan 18 05:08 |
FurnaceBoy | and* | Jan 18 05:08 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: yeah... Frank whatsisname | Jan 18 05:08 |
Diablo-D3 | FurnaceBoy: well, its about watergate | Jan 18 05:08 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: i was impressed by the reviews | Jan 18 05:08 |
Diablo-D3 | well, how he slithered out of it | Jan 18 05:08 |
Diablo-D3 | nixon is fucking slimy | Jan 18 05:08 |
DaemonFC | I trust Hollywood about as much as I trust the news and the state-sanctioned history books | Jan 18 05:08 |
Diablo-D3 | hes a snake | Jan 18 05:08 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: yes. which is just such a tiny part of his evil | Jan 18 05:08 |
Diablo-D3 | its the best part of his evil imo | Jan 18 05:08 |
Diablo-D3 | its like hitler | Jan 18 05:08 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: i suppose it's hologrammatic. | Jan 18 05:08 |
Diablo-D3 | why focus on anything but the end? | Jan 18 05:08 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: because there's a lot of relatively untold history | Jan 18 05:09 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: who reads Seymour Hersh these days? | Jan 18 05:09 |
Diablo-D3 | you know hitler was evil his whole career | Jan 18 05:09 |
Diablo-D3 | just skip through to the best parts | Jan 18 05:09 |
DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: American news agencies do one of two things. Fail to report on something, or report and exaggerate to vilify and demonize a person who did little or nothing wrong. | Jan 18 05:09 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: I know. | Jan 18 05:09 |
FurnaceBoy | being outside the USA we experience "reporting parallax" :D | Jan 18 05:10 |
DaemonFC | CNN fails to report, and isntead has Nancy Grace, the stupid cunt, talking about meaningless sideshow stories for hours on end | Jan 18 05:10 |
DaemonFC | Fox News over reports, exagerrates, and spins otherwise real news | Jan 18 05:10 |
DaemonFC | MSNBC has some reverse Rush Limbaughs | Jan 18 05:11 |
DaemonFC | :D | Jan 18 05:11 |
FurnaceBoy | I know who you mean. Personae eventually overshadow everything. (heh Nixon) | Jan 18 05:11 |

FurnaceBoy | overshadow responsibility | Jan 18 05:11 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: oh | Jan 18 05:12 |

DaemonFC | Fox News didn't do anything worse than any other news channel | Jan 18 05:14 |
DaemonFC | they just skew everything in favor of the Republicans | Jan 18 05:14 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: they're not a news channel. that's the difference. | Jan 18 05:14 |
DaemonFC | and attack Democrats 24/7 | Jan 18 05:14 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: how much do you know about Murdoch and his history? | Jan 18 05:14 |
Eruaran | Fox News is like Xinhua | Jan 18 05:14 |
DaemonFC | I know what I see on Fox News and I don't watch it | Jan 18 05:14 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: you know it's owned by Murdoch, though? | Jan 18 05:15 |

DaemonFC | I'm afraid I'll damage my expensive new TV set with flying objects | Jan 18 05:15 |

FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: finally, a use for your gun! | Jan 18 05:15 |
oiaohm | Murdoch vs packer run the australian media landscape for years. Then Murdoch migrated to the USA got USA cit and started working on taking over USA media. | Jan 18 05:16 |
DaemonFC | I usually just practice on aluminum cans | Jan 18 05:16 |
DaemonFC | cheap entertainment | Jan 18 05:16 |

FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: PARTICULARLY after the collapse internal to the US | Jan 18 05:17 |
Eruaran | I mean the literate ones who testify before senate hearing committees and pwn the reps | Jan 18 05:17 |
FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: get out now and stay out, is the only sane advice | Jan 18 05:17 |
oiaohm | FurnaceBoy: Uk media was in a mess before Murdoch got there. | Jan 18 05:17 |
Eruaran | reps = representatives not republicans | Jan 18 05:17 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: he can take most of the credit for its final destruction. | Jan 18 05:17 |
DaemonFC | if the complete and total truth came out, there would be a fire sale on every elected office | Jan 18 05:17 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: he strangled it for years like a vile, poisonous toad. | Jan 18 05:18 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: then moved on to the US market, yes. | Jan 18 05:18 |
Eruaran | FurnaceBoy, but I'm in the mood for a bit of civil war adventure ;) | Jan 18 05:18 |
oiaohm | Mostly for money to fund the battle here in Australia between him and packer | Jan 18 05:18 |

Eruaran | FurnaceBoy, I'm bored | Jan 18 05:18 |
Eruaran | :P | Jan 18 05:18 |
oiaohm | Murdoch left australia due to regulators blocking him from owning areas out right. | Jan 18 05:19 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: he had considerable success in breaking down cross ownership law in the US | Jan 18 05:19 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: money talks louder there | Jan 18 05:19 |
oiaohm | We have a growing public network here. So far its up to 15 channels. | Jan 18 05:19 |
oiaohm | The goverment is wanting 30 in 5 years time if they can. | Jan 18 05:20 |
DaemonFC | the government likes paying for news that favors it | Jan 18 05:20 |
DaemonFC | calling it a public channel | Jan 18 05:20 |
DaemonFC | or public radio | Jan 18 05:20 |
oiaohm | ABC here ie the public has 2 radio and 3 tv inside australia. | Jan 18 05:21 |
oiaohm | And out of the 3 tv only 1 runs news. | Jan 18 05:21 |
DaemonFC | there's no real news if the government is controlling what you can tell or show to people | Jan 18 05:21 |
DaemonFC | some governments jsut nationalize the news channels | Jan 18 05:22 |
oiaohm | Note there are 4 other non goverment run free to air public channels that run news here. | Jan 18 05:22 |
DaemonFC | others just work behind the scenes with outfits like the FCC | Jan 18 05:22 |
oiaohm | That are owned by independant companies DaemonFC | Jan 18 05:22 |
oiaohm | That is due to the rules layed down here. | Jan 18 05:23 |
DaemonFC | might be privately owned, but you won't stay on the air if you piss the wrong people off | Jan 18 05:23 |
oiaohm | The goverment channel runs a show called media watch. | Jan 18 05:23 |
FurnaceBoy | public broadcasting ftw. | Jan 18 05:23 |
oiaohm | That job is to check on how correct the reporting is. | Jan 18 05:23 |
FurnaceBoy | bbc is going strong. | Jan 18 05:23 |
FurnaceBoy | harper wants to kill cbc | Jan 18 05:24 |
DaemonFC | I just find it funny that the government that lies to you can do it directly | Jan 18 05:24 |
FurnaceBoy | i think he'll die first | Jan 18 05:24 |
oiaohm | Yet it is tollerable for the other channels to pull the abc new appeart. | Jan 18 05:24 |
DaemonFC | and nobody even bothers to notice or care | Jan 18 05:24 |
oiaohm | Basically our free to air is a regulated blood bath. | Jan 18 05:24 |

DaemonFC | power consumption says that the 5000 series is the way to go | Jan 18 05:55 |
DaemonFC | they consume way less power than the 4000 series | Jan 18 05:55 |
oiaohm | Basically until basic mode setting docs are out how much of the r700 work directly applies will not be known on the evergreens. | Jan 18 05:56 |
oiaohm | Ie sometime this month the mode setting docs for the evergreens will be out. | Jan 18 05:56 |
DaemonFC | ATI open source support is lagging so far behind | Jan 18 05:56 |
DaemonFC | it's better in the areas where it does work | Jan 18 05:56 |
DaemonFC | texture corruption seems to be the biggest issue | Jan 18 05:57 |
oiaohm | evergreen is most likely the chip set where the open source catch up at long last. | Jan 18 05:57 |
DaemonFC | there's not much left to do to get the 4000 series working properly | Jan 18 05:58 |
DaemonFC | I'm hoping the rest of the work gets done before Ubuntu 10.04 ships | Jan 18 05:58 |
oiaohm | Other than mesa updates not much at all. | Jan 18 05:58 |
DaemonFC | but I guess if it doesn't, I can use 10.04 and xorg-edgers repo | Jan 18 05:58 |
oiaohm | Will not all be done before Ubuntu 10.04 | Jan 18 05:58 |
oiaohm | Most likely by the one after DaemonFC | Jan 18 05:59 |
DaemonFC | xorg-edgers will probably give 10.04 full 4000 series support | Jan 18 05:59 |
DaemonFC | before 10.10 is out | Jan 18 05:59 |
oiaohm | Ie mesa will not support full opengl 3.0 for Ubuntu 10.04 | Jan 18 05:59 |
oiaohm | That is required to use that card to max DaemonFC | Jan 18 05:59 |
DaemonFC | OpenGL 3.2 actually :) | Jan 18 05:59 |
oiaohm | No internally is opengl 3.0 | Jan 18 06:00 |
DaemonFC | but like I said, PPA's are probably Ubuntu's biggest asset | Jan 18 06:00 |
oiaohm | The extra .2 is done in software. | Jan 18 06:00 |

DaemonFC | that's what impresses me most of Ubuntu and Debian's package management | Jan 18 06:00 |
DaemonFC | the apt sources are very readable even if you have to edit them directly | Jan 18 06:01 |
DaemonFC | Yum sources in Fedora are kind of the opposite of that | Jan 18 06:01 |

oiaohm | Evergreen is still supported by the ati closed source drivers at this stage. | Jan 18 06:03 |

DaemonFC | people who crack Windows usualyl turn off Windows Update to prevent poison pills from getting in | Jan 18 10:38 |

MinceR | DaemonFC: are you sure this isn't just some m$ tale? :> | Jan 18 13:11 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: It used to be basically guaranteed that you would have no driver for your modem or ethernet | Jan 18 13:11 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC: Remember 98 was a time of a MS up swing in usage. | Jan 18 13:11 |
MinceR | only if your modem is a winmodem | Jan 18 13:11 |
DaemonFC | most were | Jan 18 13:11 |
oiaohm | That lined up with people spending time making tweaking tools. | Jan 18 13:12 |
MinceR | back then it was easy to get a real modem | Jan 18 13:12 |
MinceR | i still have two :> | Jan 18 13:12 |
DaemonFC | unless you wanted to go out and spend in excess of another $100 to get a modem with onboard DSP | Jan 18 13:12 |
oiaohm | I was using Linux is my main development OS in 1998 | Jan 18 13:12 |
DaemonFC | and even then, you better check what kind you can get | Jan 18 13:12 |
MinceR | actually back when i got my modem DOS was most common :> | Jan 18 13:12 |
MinceR | dos doesn't support winmodems :> | Jan 18 13:13 |
oiaohm | Coming for the dos and unix areas Unix was not scary to a lot of people back then. | Jan 18 13:13 |
DaemonFC | The first place to come along and offer DSL had no Linux support either | Jan 18 13:13 |
DaemonFC | they only had these internal PCI DSL modems that had no Linux support at all | Jan 18 13:13 |
DaemonFC | and it was that or dial up | Jan 18 13:13 |
DaemonFC | Windows + DSL or Linux and dial up | Jan 18 13:14 |

DaemonFC | *after finding a model it liked | Jan 18 13:14 |
oiaohm | That is strange DaemonFC | Jan 18 13:14 |
oiaohm | Lot of the 1998 time DSL was simple to get running on Linux. | Jan 18 13:14 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: Until around 2002, there was no way you were getting Linux *and* broadband here | Jan 18 13:14 |
oiaohm | Mostly caused by .com boom. And lack of budgets for windows. | Jan 18 13:15 |
MinceR | DaemonFC: i guess that's just one more way in which jesusland sucks | Jan 18 13:15 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: Well, now it's obviously not a problem | Jan 18 13:15 |
DaemonFC | you get on the phone and bite someone's fucking head off | Jan 18 13:15 |
DaemonFC | and they activate the modem | Jan 18 13:15 |

cubezzz | I had to kind of yell at Bell a bit | Jan 18 13:16 |
oiaohm | But that was dial up. | Jan 18 13:16 |

DaemonFC | that's the gist of setting up Comcast or AT&T when you can't run their Windows-based activation software | Jan 18 13:18 |
cubezzz | I would find an alternative then | Jan 18 13:19 |
cubezzz | as I did | Jan 18 13:19 |
DaemonFC | doesn't exist | Jan 18 13:19 |
oiaohm | So you never bought your own modem out right DaemonFC | Jan 18 13:19 |
oiaohm | That mostly avoided that problem. | Jan 18 13:19 |
cubezzz | there's always an alternative :) | Jan 18 13:19 |
DaemonFC | I could do satellite if I wanted to pay triple and get 1/10th the bandwidth | Jan 18 13:19 |
cubezzz | remember my suggestion of getting DSL from a freeenet? | Jan 18 13:20 |
DaemonFC | I could do wireless if I wanted to pay about the same but only get 1/8th the bandwidth | Jan 18 13:20 |
oiaohm | Ie thrid party modem there software was paper weight so had to provide the information to set modem up manually DaemonFC | Jan 18 13:20 |
cubezzz | surely the US has 3rd party DSL providers | Jan 18 13:20 |
oiaohm | Lot of times I would just plain out lie. | Jan 18 13:20 |
DaemonFC | I've researched my options and believe it or not, most are worse than Comcast or AT&T | Jan 18 13:20 |
oiaohm | Just to avoid the front desk idiots. | Jan 18 13:20 |
DaemonFC | which is unnerving | Jan 18 13:20 |
cubezzz | btw, I own my own DSL modem, I have several in fact | Jan 18 13:20 |

DaemonFC | I've stayed with Comcast mainly cause 12 mbps cable and 100 channels of TV are about the same price as 6 mbps dsl and the mandatory landline telephone | Jan 18 13:22 |
cubezzz | I bet comcast doesn't let you run your own server | Jan 18 13:22 |
DaemonFC | in other words, Comcast is the least of the evils | Jan 18 13:22 |
cubezzz | unless you pay more $$$ of course | Jan 18 13:22 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: You're not supposed to, technically | Jan 18 13:23 |
DaemonFC | they do things to roadblock you | Jan 18 13:23 |
oiaohm | For good reason. | Jan 18 13:23 |
oiaohm | Cable and servers are really not compadible. | Jan 18 13:23 |
DaemonFC | like if I've been sustaining my full bandwidth for an hour, they throttle it to half | Jan 18 13:23 |
DaemonFC | they block ports | Jan 18 13:23 |
DaemonFC | that kind of stuff | Jan 18 13:23 |
DaemonFC | 250 GB cap | Jan 18 13:24 |
oiaohm | Sharing a cable equals no other option. | Jan 18 13:24 |
DaemonFC | if I go over 250 GB a month twice in a row, they can kill my service | Jan 18 13:24 |
cubezzz | yeah, I don't use cable at all | Jan 18 13:24 |
DaemonFC | I've almost made it to 200 a few times | Jan 18 13:25 |
cubezzz | I have UHF antenna and DSL | Jan 18 13:25 |
DaemonFC | never hit the cap though | Jan 18 13:25 |
cubezzz | 250 GB is a lot | Jan 18 13:25 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: Yep, one good thing about the ISPs in "Jesus Land" I guess | Jan 18 13:25 |
cubezzz | what are you doing, torrenting 24/7? :) | Jan 18 13:25 |
DaemonFC | no Rogers "You get 20 GB and then we rip a bunch of money out of your ass" bullshit | Jan 18 13:26 |
DaemonFC | among other things | Jan 18 13:26 |
DaemonFC | the DOCSIS 2.0 modem I had kept getting overloaded | Jan 18 13:26 |
cubezzz | there's no Rogers in the USA is there? | Jan 18 13:26 |
DaemonFC | and crashing | Jan 18 13:26 |
DaemonFC | they had to give me a DOCSIS 3 modem | Jan 18 13:27 |
DaemonFC | no, there isn't | Jan 18 13:27 |
DaemonFC | enough online bitching about them made me curious enough to look into what they charge | Jan 18 13:27 |
DaemonFC | makes me glad to have Comcast | Jan 18 13:28 |
DaemonFC | there's some really bad deals near here though | Jan 18 13:28 |
cubezzz | well I don't watch much television | Jan 18 13:28 |
DaemonFC | Time Warner, in the next town over has the cable monopoly there | Jan 18 13:28 |
cubezzz | just WNED mostly | Jan 18 13:28 |
DaemonFC | their cap is only 45 GB before you pay more | Jan 18 13:28 |
DaemonFC | they want people to pay broadband prices and use it like dial up | Jan 18 13:29 |
DaemonFC | :P | Jan 18 13:29 |
oiaohm | Nasty. | Jan 18 13:29 |
oiaohm | Most of our broardband here is shaped. | Jan 18 13:29 |
cubezzz | at least there's no ISP owned by Gates | Jan 18 13:30 |
cubezzz | I think | Jan 18 13:30 |
cubezzz | question, which ISP was the first? | Jan 18 13:31 |
schestowitz | Military | Jan 18 13:31 |
cubezzz | I mean for home use though | Jan 18 13:31 |
schestowitz | Before it was put in the hands of corps | Jan 18 13:32 |
cubezzz | the first home ISP | Jan 18 13:32 |
oiaohm | Microsoft use to have a stake in comcast until 2009 | Jan 18 13:32 |
cubezzz | http://zooid.org/~vid/io/short_history_of_io.html | Jan 18 13:32 |
cubezzz | admin.dis.on.ca was my first host | Jan 18 13:34 |
cubezzz | early 1996 | Jan 18 13:34 |
schestowitz | yes, i know | Jan 18 13:36 |
schestowitz | They still have partnerships with comcast | Jan 18 13:36 |

FurnaceBoy | ...and get over-reported | Jan 18 15:46 |
FurnaceBoy | why do they even get airplay :/ | Jan 18 15:47 |

FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: christians don't have to, as they have defined "irrationality" as necessary to their identity | Jan 18 15:54 |

cubezzz | I like to think that thoughts = 5% of reality | Jan 18 15:59 |
FurnaceBoy | what's more interesting is how this irrationality produces things like Bush/Boykin's holy war, but in particular Robertson's comments illuminated for me how Christians feel it's okay to destroy everything natural | Jan 18 15:59 |
cubezzz | but not 100% :) | Jan 18 15:59 |

FurnaceBoy | Eruaran: they're mostly pictures, for obvious reasons | Jan 18 16:03 |
DaemonFC | and if you want to be very afraid, they're 80% only because they've gone down in the last 20 years | Jan 18 16:03 |

Eruaran | If I said I followed Gandhi's teachings | Jan 18 16:04 |

cubezzz | I'm just saying ... :) | Jan 18 16:04 |
FurnaceBoy | cubezzz: the president is just a spokesman | Jan 18 16:04 |
DaemonFC | the Catholics are closing churches in unprofitable areas | Jan 18 16:04 |
Eruaran | And then tortured people and did unspeakable things | Jan 18 16:04 |
Eruaran | Would you believe I followed Gandhi ? | Jan 18 16:05 |

_Goblin | I REALLY hate wordpress. I refuse to beleive an online editor can #fail as much as the Wordpress. | Jan 18 19:14 |
schestowitz | _Goblin: what do you think of this Paul thing? | Jan 18 19:14 |
schestowitz | Paul Chambers | Jan 18 19:14 |
_Goblin | going to sound silly here.... | Jan 18 19:14 |
_Goblin | Paul Chambers | Jan 18 19:14 |
schestowitz | Obviously a terror~1 | Jan 18 19:14 |
schestowitz | He even put TWO exclamation marks | Jan 18 19:14 |
schestowitz | It must mean he's serious | Jan 18 19:14 |
_Goblin | he should have used the sarkmark | Jan 18 19:15 |
schestowitz | Not that two exclamation points usually mean sarcasm | Jan 18 19:15 |
_Goblin | that'll learn him. | Jan 18 19:15 |
schestowitz | It's not a free mark | Jan 18 19:15 |
schestowitz | They sell a silly image | Jan 18 19:15 |
schestowitz | I wrote about it in BN yesterday | Jan 18 19:15 |
_Goblin | he would have been free though if he'd bought it ;) | Jan 18 19:15 |
schestowitz | Na........ | Jan 18 19:15 |
schestowitz | ANd then people will misuse the symbol | Jan 18 19:15 |
schestowitz | "Your honour, but the sarkmark! The SARKMARK!!" | Jan 18 19:16 |
_Goblin | the thing is about "jokes" like the Paul one.... | Jan 18 19:16 |
schestowitz | But they can apply reasonable tests | Jan 18 19:16 |
schestowitz | People say that crap all the time | Jan 18 19:16 |
schestowitz | Maybe not in writing | Jan 18 19:16 |
_Goblin | if you Roy were in a position to make a decision to arrest someone or not (and keep in mind what would happen if he wasn't joking) would you like to be the one who says "the lads only joking" | Jan 18 19:17 |
schestowitz | I made a joke last year which could sound like some l00ny thing | Jan 18 19:17 |
schestowitz | And my mate didn't sense the sarcasm | Jan 18 19:17 |
schestowitz | But it's easy when said face to face | Jan 18 19:17 |
schestowitz | There's voice | Jan 18 19:17 |
_Goblin | its called backcovering.....(in respect of Paul) | Jan 18 19:17 |
schestowitz | OK | Jan 18 19:17 |
tessier | schestowitz: What is the url of a comment page with this issue? Does the new comment show up eventually? | Jan 18 19:17 |
schestowitz | But they should let him out | Jan 18 19:18 |
schestowitz | tessier: yes, it does | Jan 18 19:18 |
_Goblin | I certainly wouldn't want to be the person who dismisses it...even if I was 99.9% certain it was a joke. | Jan 18 19:18 |
schestowitz | But when people leave comments they think it vanished | Jan 18 19:18 |
schestowitz | Then they leave the comment multiple times | Jan 18 19:18 |
_Goblin | however.... | Jan 18 19:18 |
schestowitz | I said to them I was trying to sort it out | Jan 18 19:18 |
schestowitz | _Goblin: I guess I can say this: | Jan 18 19:19 |
_Goblin | now its shown he was joking, is it proportionate to put a case against him? | Jan 18 19:19 |
tessier | Ok. I turned up the caching pretty aggressively when we were trying to resolve the load/performance issues with the machine. That is probably unnecessary now. Let me remove some of that stuff. | Jan 18 19:19 |
schestowitz | How many people who commit murder say it in advance? | Jan 18 19:19 |
schestowitz | That's what they need to check | Jan 18 19:19 |
schestowitz | Like..... | Jan 18 19:19 |
_Goblin | alot... | Jan 18 19:19 |
_Goblin | domestic violence | Jan 18 19:19 |
schestowitz | If you ask someone, "are you a terrorist?" | Jan 18 19:19 |
_Goblin | thats why threats to kill has a positive arrest policy | Jan 18 19:19 |
schestowitz | They wouldn't say "yes | Jan 18 19:19 |
schestowitz | tessier: thanks :-) | Jan 18 19:19 |
_Goblin | to them though they are not terrorists, since the title is a matter of what you believe. | Jan 18 19:20 |
schestowitz | I don't know how it determined page/cookie state, but the only think that differs is the #comment-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX | Jan 18 19:20 |
schestowitz | _Goblin: there's that joke skeleton thing | Jan 18 19:20 |
schestowitz | "I kill you!!' | Jan 18 19:20 |
_Goblin | EG. French resistance would have been described as terrorists in the 2nd world war.... | Jan 18 19:20 |
_Goblin | schestowitz: For a threats offence there has to be an honest held believe by the "victim" that the threat will be carried out. | Jan 18 19:21 |
schestowitz | Our language become dangrous | Jan 18 19:21 |
_Goblin | definately....or more likely nobody want to take the risk of making a common sense decision. | Jan 18 19:21 |
_Goblin | its all about covering ones back nowadays | Jan 18 19:22 |
schestowitz | Net jungle.. | Jan 18 19:22 |
_Goblin | However..... | Jan 18 19:22 |

_Goblin | in regards to a racially aggravated offence..... | Jan 18 19:23 |
schestowitz | Maybe there'll be more pedos applying for a job in the airport now | Jan 18 19:23 |
_Goblin | a racially aggravated offence is one if its PERCEIVED by the victim as one.... | Jan 18 19:23 |
schestowitz | _Goblin: another thing is also impulsive remarks | Jan 18 19:23 |
schestowitz | For example: | Jan 18 19:23 |
schestowitz | Some of the trolls who attack me would be arrested by these standards | Jan 18 19:24 |
_Goblin | and if you percieved those threats as having a racist undertone, then it could be a racially aggravated offence... | Jan 18 19:24 |
_Goblin | although v.difficult to get CPS onto that one...net offences tend to frighten many in law. | Jan 18 19:25 |

sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: what you mean infer? | Jan 18 21:45 |
FurnaceBoy | in any case, write-in-place filesystems have only a couple more years of future | Jan 18 21:46 |
sebsebseb | well it seems data curruption of large files might happen with Ext4 | Jan 18 21:46 |
FurnaceBoy | they're already obsolete | Jan 18 21:46 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: how? | Jan 18 21:46 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: the Ubuntu 9.10 release notes mentions/mentioned something | Jan 18 21:46 |

sebsebseb | and yeah what file system you use? | Jan 18 21:47 |
FurnaceBoy | google's is extremely specific to google. | Jan 18 21:47 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: ZFS on solaris, reiser3 on linux. | Jan 18 21:47 |
MinceR | re 223756 < schestowitz> MinceR: who is Előd Tóásó ? | Jan 18 21:47 |
schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: how many distros still make reiser an option? | Jan 18 21:48 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: but all write-in-place fs are obsoleted by ZFS and COW systems. | Jan 18 21:48 |
schestowitz | I think Ubuntu does | Jan 18 21:48 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: all of them, if you build your kernel. | Jan 18 21:48 |
schestowitz | Not that I understand why... although developmnt carries on | Jan 18 21:48 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: I think people have to some how enable Reiser in Ubuntu or something like that | Jan 18 21:48 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: I don't either. | Jan 18 21:48 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: R4 is practically production ready now | Jan 18 21:48 |

FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: coding is off his radar, afaict | Jan 18 21:52 |
sebsebseb | obsessed with what? | Jan 18 21:52 |

sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: most Linux users use Ext | Jan 18 21:59 |
FurnaceBoy | hm. | Jan 18 21:59 |
sebsebseb | why not others? | Jan 18 21:59 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: do they? good for them | Jan 18 21:59 |
FurnaceBoy | i know it's a default in many distros | Jan 18 21:59 |
sebsebseb | also most LInux users don't really understand about file systems | Jan 18 21:59 |
FurnaceBoy | the only real game in town is ZFS | Jan 18 21:59 |
FurnaceBoy | everything else is "dumb luck" | Jan 18 21:59 |
sebsebseb | or at least Ubuntu users for example | Jan 18 21:59 |
FurnaceBoy | btrfs might bring some of those advantages to linux | Jan 18 21:59 |
sebsebseb | ZFS hardly anyone uses that | Jan 18 22:00 |
FurnaceBoy | or, in a perfect world, oracle would relicense zfs for linux | Jan 18 22:00 |
sebsebseb | as far as I know | Jan 18 22:00 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: nonetheless, it supersedes all other filesystems, basically. | Jan 18 22:00 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: it's not actually a filesystem, to be precise. | Jan 18 22:00 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: it's available in Solaris and FreeBSD | Jan 18 22:00 |

*schestowitz () has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:01 | |
sebsebseb | I don't know much about file systems | Jan 18 22:01 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: i think you're being attacked | Jan 18 22:01 |
*schestowitz has quit () | Jan 18 22:02 | |
sebsebseb | also I thought BTRS is the one that loads of people will be going on about when it's ready | Jan 18 22:02 |
sebsebseb | BTFS even above | Jan 18 22:02 |
*schestowitz () has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:02 | |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: most of them are evolutions of rather old designs. HFS is 24 years old. FFS even older. | Jan 18 22:02 |
FurnaceBoy | yes btrfs has some of the advantages of zfs, but it's not ready. | Jan 18 22:02 |
FurnaceBoy | zfs has been shipping for about 6 years | Jan 18 22:02 |
FurnaceBoy | and nothing else today does what it does. | Jan 18 22:02 |
FurnaceBoy | it's a different beast | Jan 18 22:03 |
sebsebseb | right, but zfs does not work on Linux? | Jan 18 22:03 |
FurnaceBoy | no | Jan 18 22:03 |
FurnaceBoy | FreeBSD and Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris only | Jan 18 22:03 |
FurnaceBoy | the linux kernel devs tried to ignore it for a long time :) | Jan 18 22:03 |
sebsebseb | well then ZFS isn't that relivant really | Jan 18 22:03 |
FurnaceBoy | uh? | Jan 18 22:03 |

FurnaceBoy | it *obsoletes* eveyrthing else, sir. | Jan 18 22:03 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: ok, but | Jan 18 22:03 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: if you study it for a while you'll see how | Jan 18 22:03 |
sebsebseb | which type of OS out of these has most of the market out of these three, Linux distros, BSD, or Solaris | Jan 18 22:04 |
sebsebseb | yep Linux distros | Jan 18 22:04 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: in other words, Linux will eventually get what it does today. | Jan 18 22:04 |
FurnaceBoy | or some of it. | Jan 18 22:04 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: market is not really relevant. | Jan 18 22:04 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: you choose the platform based on what you need. | Jan 18 22:04 |
sebsebseb | I am on Desktop LInux as a home user | Jan 18 22:04 |
FurnaceBoy | if Solaris 10 has capabilities way beyond linux, that you need (such as data integrity, etc), then that's what you pick. | Jan 18 22:04 |
sebsebseb | I don't run a Linux server, I have had LAMP installed before | Jan 18 22:04 |
FurnaceBoy | right, Solaris+ZFS are good for home, but more aimed at enterprise/server/consolidated | Jan 18 22:05 |
FurnaceBoy | even so, everyone will have zfs-like capabilities in a few years, it's not optional | Jan 18 22:05 |
FurnaceBoy | everything else runs on dumb luck, in terms of data integrity. | Jan 18 22:05 |
*schestowitz has quit () | Jan 18 22:05 | |
sebsebseb | data integrity in your context meaning what exactly | Jan 18 22:05 |
sebsebseb | that data is ok | Jan 18 22:06 |
sebsebseb | not currupted? | Jan 18 22:06 |
*schestowitz () has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:06 | |

sebsebseb | well people should be backing up important data else where as well of course | Jan 18 22:06 |
sebsebseb | home user or business | Jan 18 22:06 |
sebsebseb | both | Jan 18 22:06 |
FurnaceBoy | zfs is an entirely new beast, integrity is fundamental. write-in-place can't offer guarantees, nor can RAID | Jan 18 22:06 |
sebsebseb | that way if a harddisk/filesystem goes wrong not a big deal really | Jan 18 22:06 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: yes they should | Jan 18 22:06 |
*schestowitz has quit () | Jan 18 22:07 | |
sebsebseb | anyway BTFS seems to be the next one | Jan 18 22:07 |
*schestowitz () has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:07 | |
sebsebseb | that people will keep on going on about | Jan 18 22:07 |
sebsebseb | for Linux | Jan 18 22:07 |
FurnaceBoy | sure, but it's not ready | Jan 18 22:07 |
FurnaceBoy | it's heavily inspired by zfs | Jan 18 22:07 |
FurnaceBoy | there's no other direction, really | Jan 18 22:07 |
sebsebseb | ZFS might be better, but without a Linux version, it's not relivant for many people | Jan 18 22:07 |
FurnaceBoy | depends. if you're running a business, you pick the platform based on what you need. | Jan 18 22:07 |
FurnaceBoy | you don't pick linux if it can't do the job. | Jan 18 22:08 |
sebsebseb | a business right | Jan 18 22:08 |
*schestowitz has quit () | Jan 18 22:08 | |
sebsebseb | ,but | Jan 18 22:08 |
*schestowitz () has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:08 | |
sebsebseb | home users, well WIndows, Mac OS X, or a Linux distro such as Ubuntu, maybe Mandriva | Jan 18 22:08 |
sebsebseb | not that many people will be running BSD or Solaris or something else, as a home user | Jan 18 22:08 |
FurnaceBoy | OS X nearly had ZFS. Apple pulled out before 10.6. | Jan 18 22:08 |
FurnaceBoy | they're buildin gtheir own ZFS clone now. | Jan 18 22:08 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: OpenSolaris makes a nice desktop... all depends what you're doing. | Jan 18 22:09 |
*schestowitz has quit () | Jan 18 22:09 | |
*schestowitz () has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:09 | |
sebsebseb | well more software written for Linux distros, than OpenSolaris, that are aimed at home users? right? | Jan 18 22:09 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: well, windows is the elephant in the room, still :( | Jan 18 22:09 |
sebsebseb | you mean the one that has most market share? | Jan 18 22:09 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: OpenSolaris probably won't make a big splash compared to linux. but market share isn't everything, or you'd be on Windows :) | Jan 18 22:10 |
*schestowitz has quit () | Jan 18 22:10 | |
FurnaceBoy | Solaris has some pretty amazing technology. | Jan 18 22:10 |
*schestowitz () has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:10 | |
sebsebseb | what's OpenSolaris like when it comes to uhmm | Jan 18 22:10 |
sebsebseb | FLash? | Jan 18 22:10 |
FurnaceBoy | ha, that's a popular question. I don't run it myself. | Jan 18 22:10 |
sebsebseb | BSD has to do Flash in a Linux emulation mode | Jan 18 22:10 |
FurnaceBoy | it's true if you want stuff like that, life will be smoother on linux, i guess | Jan 18 22:10 |
FurnaceBoy | but this is Adobe's intransigence, imho | Jan 18 22:11 |
FurnaceBoy | for many years they didn't even support linux | Jan 18 22:11 |
sebsebseb | well yeah | Jan 18 22:11 |
sebsebseb | and they don't support it properly | Jan 18 22:11 |
FurnaceBoy | and video playback is still suboptimal, isn't it? | Jan 18 22:11 |
sebsebseb | or we would have Photoshop and such natively for it | Jan 18 22:11 |
MinceR | why is crApple building their own ZFS clone? | Jan 18 22:11 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: because they backed out of a deal with Sun. | Jan 18 22:11 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: probably Jobs couldn't get a year's free blowjobs | Jan 18 22:11 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: they flirted with ZFS then pulled out, apparently over license terms. | Jan 18 22:12 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: why do you call them crApple ? | Jan 18 22:12 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: they have some pretty good engineers, it was obvious they were already cloning it. | Jan 18 22:12 |
MinceR | strange, i thought they could use it per normal FLOSS license | Jan 18 22:12 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: because all they make is crap | Jan 18 22:12 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: such as? Mac? Iphones? Itunes? :D | Jan 18 22:12 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: crApple has engineers? what for? | Jan 18 22:12 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: have you ever owned a Mac? | Jan 18 22:13 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: their flawed, self-destructing and dangerous hardware and their dumbed-down, DRM-laden software | Jan 18 22:13 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: many engineers. they ship OS X, you know...and many applications for it. They work on Webkit..etc... | Jan 18 22:13 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: no, and i don't want to | Jan 18 22:13 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: generally people who hate Apple have never owned APple products, I find. | Jan 18 22:13 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: I think I read that they got rid of all the DRM when it came to Itunes | Jan 18 22:13 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: yes, they ripped off Mach and FreeBSD, hacked a crap GUI on top and ended up with OSX | Jan 18 22:13 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: you should try using it sometime | Jan 18 22:13 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: they ripped off KHTML (the work of the KDE developers) and renamed it to WebKit | Jan 18 22:14 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: indeed at that | Jan 18 22:14 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: ...which is open source. | Jan 18 22:14 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: i've tried OSX once, it didn't live up to the hype | Jan 18 22:14 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: do you use Win7 ? | Jan 18 22:14 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: they could have made KHTML better surely, instead of forking it? | Jan 18 22:14 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: so they shouldn't give credit where it's due? | Jan 18 22:14 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: i don't use vista7 | Jan 18 22:14 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: they do | Jan 18 22:14 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: what about Vista1 | Jan 18 22:14 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: they could have worked with the KDE developer team | Jan 18 22:14 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: they do | Jan 18 22:14 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: i don't use that either | Jan 18 22:14 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: VistaXP ? | Jan 18 22:14 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: not as far as i know | Jan 18 22:14 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: i rarely do use winxp | Jan 18 22:15 |
sebsebseb | heh at all this unessarey highlighting | Jan 18 22:15 |
FurnaceBoy | so do i. games :( | Jan 18 22:15 |
MinceR | (for games, when i have the time) | Jan 18 22:15 |
FurnaceBoy | yeah | Jan 18 22:15 |

FurnaceBoy | exactly the same here MinceR | Jan 18 22:15 |
sebsebseb | games heh | Jan 18 22:15 |
MinceR | then again, many games i like work just fine on GNU/Linux | Jan 18 22:15 |
sebsebseb | oh a lot of pretty good native games for Desktop Linux | Jan 18 22:15 |
sebsebseb | these days | Jan 18 22:15 |
schestowitz | [22:01] <schestowitz> What the heck of freenode doing again? | Jan 18 22:16 |
schestowitz | [22:01] <schestowitz> In what sense? | Jan 18 22:16 |
schestowitz | [22:01] <schestowitz> trmanco had that before too | Jan 18 22:16 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: GOogle Chrome uses WebKit | Jan 18 22:16 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: well yeah | Jan 18 22:16 |
MinceR | so does Qt | Jan 18 22:16 |
sebsebseb | Chrome blah de balh | Jan 18 22:16 |
sebsebseb | I am a bit sick of it | Jan 18 22:16 |
sebsebseb | to be honest | Jan 18 22:16 |
MinceR | and eventually probably so will KDE | Jan 18 22:16 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: i don't use it | Jan 18 22:16 |
sebsebseb | reading about it | Jan 18 22:16 |
sebsebseb | Chrome this Chrome that, blah de blah | Jan 18 22:17 |
MinceR | but i don't approve of crApple rebranding it and taking credit for it from the fanboys | Jan 18 22:17 |
sebsebseb | we already had a pretty good browser | Jan 18 22:17 |
MinceR | as if they invented the wheel in the first place | Jan 18 22:17 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: I never saw that. everybody knows it's a fork of KHTML | Jan 18 22:17 |
MinceR | they do that all the time | Jan 18 22:17 |
sebsebseb | and one that has more market share than a version of IE on it's own, it's just with all versions, IE has most of that market | Jan 18 22:17 |
MinceR | crApple takes the inventions of others and claims them as their own all the time | Jan 18 22:17 |
sebsebseb | yes I am on about FIrefox, which is a good number two | Jan 18 22:17 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: well, tune down the Apple h8, Mr Never Owned a Mac | Jan 18 22:17 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: no, not everybody knows | Jan 18 22:17 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: save the love for Microsoft | Jan 18 22:17 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: why should i own one of those crap PCs to know how much they suck? it isn't like there's no flow of information | Jan 18 22:17 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: true, they have taken a lot of opensource/freesoftware and then done their own things with it | Jan 18 22:18 |
sebsebseb | Windows nope, they made their own kernel and GUI and so on | Jan 18 22:18 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: nobody's forcing you to. the rhetoric is a bit overheated tho | Jan 18 22:18 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: then i don't see what's all the "Mr Never Owned a Mac" crap about | Jan 18 22:18 |
MinceR | s/crap/crap is/ | Jan 18 22:18 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: plus no legal free upgrade to people who buy a Mac with OS X | Jan 18 22:18 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: plus you got to wait about three years, just like Windows | Jan 18 22:18 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: what? | Jan 18 22:19 |
sebsebseb | these days I can get quite bored of an OS in less than six months | Jan 18 22:19 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: btw, crApple pushes software patents all the time. guess what that means to FLOSS if they get their way. | Jan 18 22:19 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: propritary software releases slowly | Jan 18 22:19 |
sebsebseb | with new versions, most of it | Jan 18 22:19 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: all corporations push patents. I don't like it either. And APple could be a lot more open. | Jan 18 22:19 |
sebsebseb | opensource/freesoftware development is pretty fast for the popular projects | Jan 18 22:19 |
schestowitz | "Defensive" | Jan 18 22:19 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: no, not all corporations do | Jan 18 22:19 |
schestowitz | Everyone's is "defensive" | Jan 18 22:19 |
schestowitz | Ask countries why they have nukes | Jan 18 22:20 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: and not all corporations sue/FUD others based on them either | Jan 18 22:20 |
sebsebseb | the popular Linux distros, have two versions a year | Jan 18 22:20 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: Daemon's gun is DEFENSIVE | Jan 18 22:20 |
sebsebseb | or most of them anyway | Jan 18 22:20 |
schestowitz | Heck, ask how Germany justified invading neighbours... same reason. | Jan 18 22:20 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: ...until he fires it | Jan 18 22:20 |
schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: yes | Jan 18 22:20 |
MinceR | FurnaceBoy: look up crApple vs. Palm as a recent example | Jan 18 22:20 |
schestowitz | "How else would I defend myself??" | Jan 18 22:20 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: not with his rapier wit? | Jan 18 22:20 |
sebsebseb | I got a recording from April last year, that won't go away on the cable box :( | Jan 18 22:20 |
sebsebseb | stupid propritary hardware | Jan 18 22:20 |
sebsebseb | and software on there | Jan 18 22:20 |
sebsebseb | I wonder what it runs actsaully | Jan 18 22:20 |
MinceR | or if you're looking for attacks on open standards, look up the crApple vs. HTML5/Theora issue | Jan 18 22:20 |
sebsebseb | anyway it has Vista adverts in it | Jan 18 22:21 |
sebsebseb | now days it's about Windows 7, give it another two years or so, and they will be on about their next one | Jan 18 22:21 |
sebsebseb | that's the other thing right there, with propritary stuff, you can't do much with it yourself, if it goes wrong | Jan 18 22:21 |
MinceR | if you believe jobs' lies that he doesn't want DRM, tell us why OSX has DRM support in its executable format and why jobs (on the board of Disney) doesn't stop Disney from insisting on DRM | Jan 18 22:21 |
schestowitz | MinceR: ODF too | Jan 18 22:21 |
schestowitz | Apple pushed OOXML | Jan 18 22:21 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: I agree , all this is bad. | Jan 18 22:22 |
MinceR | i didn't know that | Jan 18 22:22 |
schestowitz | iWorks [NOT...] | Jan 18 22:22 |
sebsebseb | Windows blah de blah | Jan 18 22:22 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: my attitude to Jobs is about the same as my attitude to Obama | Jan 18 22:22 |
sebsebseb | OS X blah de blah | Jan 18 22:22 |
schestowitz | Works for Microsoft | Jan 18 22:22 |
MinceR | crApple hurts us in so many ways it's difficult to keep track | Jan 18 22:22 |
sebsebseb | Google whatever | Jan 18 22:22 |
*gargoyle-grin has quit ("Leaving.") | Jan 18 22:22 | |
sebsebseb | it's all propritary, it's about making money from people | Jan 18 22:22 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: nonetheless, save some love for MS. they're still here. | Jan 18 22:22 |
schestowitz | MinceR: they run out of cats | Jan 18 22:22 |
MinceR | i have no love for m$, FurnaceBoy | Jan 18 22:22 |
schestowitz | Siamese is the next release | Jan 18 22:22 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: in some ways Windows is actsaully better than OS X | Jan 18 22:22 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: that's the only right thing to do! profit is everything. | Jan 18 22:22 |
MinceR | crApple and m$ are two sides of the same coin | Jan 18 22:22 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: depends on the user | Jan 18 22:22 |
schestowitz | They made no real progress in many years, AFAICT | Jan 18 22:22 |
schestowitz | I saw OS X like 8 years ago (almost) | Jan 18 22:23 |
schestowitz | Looks the same | Jan 18 22:23 |
MinceR | no respect for users, customers or competitors, just a blind push for world domination | Jan 18 22:23 |
sebsebseb | for profit comapnies is the old way | Jan 18 22:23 |
sebsebseb | the newer way is | Jan 18 22:23 |
schestowitz | Dock, Brushed metal.. | Jan 18 22:23 |
MinceR | and a lot of contempt for their own users | Jan 18 22:23 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: the difference is that it kicked Vista's ass in 2002 | Jan 18 22:23 |
sebsebseb | non profit organisations more of those, and for profit companies that aren't all about making money | Jan 18 22:23 |
schestowitz | It's like they paid for some widgets and artists and I don't know what the rest of the hype is about | Jan 18 22:23 |
schestowitz | I don't need Entourage or Safari | Jan 18 22:23 |
schestowitz | Just Junk | Jan 18 22:24 |
FurnaceBoy | Entourage = Microsoft | Jan 18 22:24 |
FurnaceBoy | not Apple | Jan 18 22:24 |
MinceR | at least brushed metal looks better than paper with blue lines and drops of blue water | Jan 18 22:24 |
schestowitz | The former is a cameo to Ballmer | Jan 18 22:24 |
schestowitz | Promote them | Jan 18 22:24 |
schestowitz | I know. | Jan 18 22:24 |
FurnaceBoy | aff, you guys stop baiting me, i need to work :-X | Jan 18 22:24 |
sebsebseb | take Canonical for example, yes they want to make money in the long run, but no it seems they won't make Ubuntu into a really bad product, whilst doing that. (well ok to be honest I am not that sure about Ubuntu 10.04 at the moment, since development versions don't have all the features yet) | Jan 18 22:24 |
schestowitz | I offered help back then to some professors with Entourage | Jan 18 22:24 |
schestowitz | It's a disgrace | Jan 18 22:25 |
MinceR | it was funny when osx couldn't decide which look it wants and yet crApple fanboys kept blabbering about how great it is that their favorite OS has a consistent look and feel | Jan 18 22:25 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: ouch | Jan 18 22:25 |

MinceR | and claimed it's because china spied on them | Jan 18 22:30 |
sebsebseb | they want to leave China, because there was an attack | Jan 18 22:30 |

sebsebseb | well the current way as well | Jan 18 22:31 |
rnb | MinceR: but they didnt change anything | Jan 18 22:31 |

sebsebseb | Banshee is quite a nice player uses Mono yes | Jan 18 22:32 |
sebsebseb | F-Spot is ok for graphics | Jan 18 22:32 |
sebsebseb | Mono uh huh, I am more interested in the new features they will be doing | Jan 18 22:33 |
sebsebseb | edits to Gnome and such | Jan 18 22:33 |
MinceR | gnome-do would be nice if it worked with other window managers (or just kwin?) -- as it is it's useless to me | Jan 18 22:33 |
MinceR | but the rumors of dropping gimp to make room for some mono crap are disturbing | Jan 18 22:33 |
sebsebseb | well some people think that the people who complain about Mono and such | Jan 18 22:33 |
sebsebseb | are mainly people who | Jan 18 22:33 |
sebsebseb | or are only even | Jan 18 22:34 |
sebsebseb | people who hever never contirubted even a single line of code | Jan 18 22:34 |
*The (i=63ee03e6@gateway/web/freenode/x-plqalerufpzsedjv) has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:34 | |

sebsebseb | to an open source project | Jan 18 22:34 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: that's a failed guess | Jan 18 22:34 |

*TheMadHatter (i=63ee03e6@gateway/web/freenode/x-yxuvpzywcuijcstf) has joined #boycottnovell | Jan 18 22:34 | |
sebsebseb | and are arm chair type people yeah, lazy, and so on, or whatever, well when I had a Mono chat some where else not that long ago, I got told this kind of thing | Jan 18 22:35 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: Mono is won thing | Jan 18 22:35 |
sebsebseb | Gnome is another, and oh I am starting to wonder about Gnome | Jan 18 22:35 |
sebsebseb | they have messed with me twice already | Jan 18 22:35 |

_Goblin | sebsebseb: Ive seen that argument too...what people fail to realize is that its the non-coders who will in the main consume the packages coders create, if they don't want something then the coders time is wasted. I'd say users are just as important to the life of a project as the coders themselves. | Jan 18 22:35 |
sebsebseb | oh yeah on the weekend I saw a Steve Ballmer interview | Jan 18 22:35 |
MinceR | Captain Dildo is trying to remove Gnome from the GNU Project | Jan 18 22:35 |
schestowitz | meh. | Jan 18 22:35 |
sebsebseb | BBC Click yeah | Jan 18 22:35 |
schestowitz | INNOVA~1 | Jan 18 22:36 |
sebsebseb | and to see the whole thing, I can see on the website | Jan 18 22:36 |
sebsebseb | at first I had to puase the show, and be like idiot moron etc, then I watched it and well, kind of interesting. seems Ballmer might be getting kicked out soon | Jan 18 22:36 |
MinceR | meanwhile they're trying to push mono into gnome | Jan 18 22:36 |
TheMadHatter | Too bad no one told Huffington Post that Ballmer's main innovation is the suggestion that Chair Hurling be added to the summer Olympics. | Jan 18 22:36 |
schestowitz | No, it's talking others' product | Jan 18 22:36 |
_Goblin | Im going to patent the unthrowable chair...I'll make a fortune from MS employees. | Jan 18 22:37 |
schestowitz | Then putting them in Windows and driving the devs out of business | Jan 18 22:37 |
schestowitz | Like i4i | Jan 18 22:37 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: yes that's basically what I told the person, but they woudn't agree or whatever | Jan 18 22:37 |
TheMadHatter | No, that was Bill's innovation. | Jan 18 22:37 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: btw it's entirely possible to develop software in an arm chair :> | Jan 18 22:37 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: well yeah | Jan 18 22:37 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: exactly unless it's just some program for just that proggrammer to use, and maybe some of their friends or something | Jan 18 22:37 |
schestowitz | TheMadHatter: it's just more lobbying from the mafia | Jan 18 22:37 |
sebsebseb | right whatever | Jan 18 22:37 |
sebsebseb | do what they want blah de blah | Jan 18 22:37 |
TheMadHatter | Quick question - anyone live near Teeside? | Jan 18 22:37 |
Omar87__ | Hi all. | Jan 18 22:38 |
sebsebseb | ,but when they are making big projects that many people are going to be using, GDM 2, Grub 2, etc | Jan 18 22:38 |
_Goblin | Is that near Sunderland? | Jan 18 22:38 |
sebsebseb | then they should be making software for the end users, not them selves, which is what they have done with GDM 2, and maybe also Grub 2 | Jan 18 22:38 |
TheMadHatter | Don't know - wrong side of pond. | Jan 18 22:38 |
_Goblin | I'll have a look.... | Jan 18 22:38 |
sebsebseb | GDM 2 has cleaner code now, but lacks being able to be themed like the old one, which quite a lot of users want | Jan 18 22:38 |
TheMadHatter | How about Cleveland? | Jan 18 22:38 |
_Goblin | I was born in Hetton le Hole (nr Durham) | Jan 18 22:38 |
TheMadHatter | Was wondering if anyone could drop by the court house, and see if a transcript for the OINK trial is available. | Jan 18 22:39 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: Gnome are starting to remove things these days as well | Jan 18 22:39 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: that end users want. so since the lack of themes, theme stuff got removed, but now it's also the icons, the icions are gone for system menu, and now it seems they have also removed the thing that will put them back | Jan 18 22:40 |
TheMadHatter | Too bad they won't remove Evolution. | Jan 18 22:40 |
_Goblin | Themadhatter: I think I was born about 30 miles away from Teeside | Jan 18 22:40 |
sebsebseb | TheMadHatter: I have never used evolution properly, why don't you like it? | Jan 18 22:40 |
_Goblin | Themadhatter: according to Googlemaps | Jan 18 22:40 |
MinceR | hm, there's a nice pic of what gnome will look like in the future | Jan 18 22:40 |
sebsebseb | TheMadHatter: evolution is rather useless, unless an account is set up in it | Jan 18 22:40 |
TheMadHatter | Evolution is pretty useless, account or not. | Jan 18 22:41 |

phIRCe-local | Title: File:Next-gnome.png - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia .::. Size~: 27.74 KB | Jan 18 22:41 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: I have seen some screen shots of Gnome Shell and read a bit about it, I am not sure about it | Jan 18 22:41 |
sebsebseb | not tried yet | Jan 18 22:41 |
sebsebseb | TheMadHatter: why do you think that? | Jan 18 22:41 |
TheMadHatter | In my opinion it is a bloated hunk of junk. | Jan 18 22:41 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I was favoring Xfce before this Gnome unpleasantness started...its a shame, Ive always prefered Gnome over KDE | Jan 18 22:41 |
sebsebseb | Ubuntu 10.04 will have the Gnome 2.28 version not the 2.30 or whatever version I read | Jan 18 22:41 |
sebsebseb | TheMadHatter: like Thunderbird? Thunderbird 2 :) not tired Thunderbird 3 read a bit about it though and I think saw a screnshot or more as well whatever | Jan 18 22:42 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: XFCE is uhmm well I tried it in Karmic recently, and uh | Jan 18 22:42 |
sebsebseb | dark | Jan 18 22:42 |
sebsebseb | dark panel/bar/menu whatever, oh sure probably some way to customize it, but uh dark | Jan 18 22:42 |
sebsebseb | I don't understand what it is about, all these people wanting dark themes for stuff on the computer | Jan 18 22:42 |
sebsebseb | black and such | Jan 18 22:42 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: Ive run it with Wolvix now for about a year...... | Jan 18 22:42 |
TheMadHatter | Also the level of integration into Gnome is problematic - much like IE is integrated into Windows. So if you want to run something else as your corp email client, you are still stuck with Evolution. | Jan 18 22:43 |
sebsebseb | I don't like white text on a black background much either. black text on a white background on the other hand, that's fine, and default | Jan 18 22:43 |
MinceR | i find dark themes easier on the eyes, especially at night | Jan 18 22:43 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: since Wolvix still hasnt left beta 2, Im looking for a new distro | Jan 18 22:43 |
sebsebseb | well I want blue and such on the computer for themes | Jan 18 22:43 |
sebsebseb | green maybe as well | Jan 18 22:43 |
sebsebseb | those kind of colours | Jan 18 22:43 |
MinceR | i have light gray text on dark gray background | Jan 18 22:43 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: well PC Linux OS hasn't even left KDE 3 yet | Jan 18 22:44 |
sebsebseb | well I guess a development version might have | Jan 18 22:44 |
sebsebseb | read something, basically half the users wanted KDE 3 and the other KDE 4, or something liket hat | Jan 18 22:44 |
TheMadHatter | And of course since it's so tightly integrated, if an Evolution exploit is found, it leaves you open in a way that Tunderbird wouldn't. | Jan 18 22:44 |
sebsebseb | read something? yeah something tell me on IRC or whatever | Jan 18 22:44 |
sebsebseb | TheMadHatter: oh right sounds like IE | Jan 18 22:45 |
_Goblin | I wish I liked KDE....I just can't warm to it. | Jan 18 22:45 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] Come on Wolvix, when is the next release? Its been in Beta 2 for nearly a year by my reckoning. Great distro, needs update! #wolvix #linux | Jan 18 22:45 | |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: same here | Jan 18 22:45 |
sebsebseb | well I like a few KDE apps in Gnome | Jan 18 22:45 |
MinceR | i like KDE | Jan 18 22:45 |
TheMadHatter | sebsebseb exactly. After being burned by IE, there is no way I'm taking chances like that again. | Jan 18 22:45 |
_Goblin | agreed | Jan 18 22:45 |
MinceR | with a few gnome apps | Jan 18 22:45 |
_Goblin | Klibido springs to mind. | Jan 18 22:45 |
sebsebseb | TheMadHatter: oh what happended to you? | Jan 18 22:45 |
sebsebseb | TheMadHatter: I gave a good link earlier | Jan 18 22:46 |
sebsebseb | that you should read | Jan 18 22:46 |
MinceR | but i'd like to see more modular DEs again | Jan 18 22:46 |
TheMadHatter | Drive by download - what else. | Jan 18 22:46 |
MinceR | both Gnome and KDE are integrating stuff together too much, imo | Jan 18 22:46 |
TheMadHatter | Try E17 | Jan 18 22:46 |
MinceR | i have it in mind | Jan 18 22:46 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: what do you mean by that? | Jan 18 22:46 |
MinceR | mainly because of ecomorph | Jan 18 22:47 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: there are incompatibilities if you try to use some components of a DE but not others | Jan 18 22:47 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: and mysterious daemons that don't work well together | Jan 18 22:47 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: some KDE tray applets require plasma and won't be drawn if they appear in a non-plasma system tray | Jan 18 22:48 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: gnome-do doesn't work with kwin | Jan 18 22:48 |

MinceR | stuff like that | Jan 18 22:49 |
TheMadHatter | don't worry about that shit anymore, dumped windows years ago | Jan 18 22:49 |
tessier | schestowitz: if you said something to me in the last hour or two I missed it | Jan 18 22:49 |
MinceR | i dumped IE before i dumped winblows | Jan 18 22:49 |
*tessier increases the size of the scrollback in his IRC client | Jan 18 22:49 | |
MinceR | :D | Jan 18 22:49 |
_Goblin | I dual booted for a while but Ive been 100% clean for about a year and a half. | Jan 18 22:50 |
*tessier has been 100% MS Free since 1994 | Jan 18 22:50 | |
MinceR | sebsebseb: also, sometimes more than one screensaver daemons run and that's kind of messy too | Jan 18 22:50 |
TheMadHatter | me too. but been clear of windows for 3 years now, made my live a lot easier. | Jan 18 22:50 |
MinceR | i miss the days when i could really just pick and choose the programs from DE-s that i wanted and everything worked as expected | Jan 18 22:51 |
MinceR | when Gnome gave you a nice list of WMs to choose from in its control center | Jan 18 22:51 |
MinceR | etc. | Jan 18 22:51 |
sebsebseb | I have Vista on dual boot, but without those drivers installed, it's well I got something a bit like Gnome Do actsauly | Jan 18 22:51 |
sebsebseb | instead of the aero thumbnail effect | Jan 18 22:52 |
TheMadHatter | Windows 3.1 was like that - you could pick and choose. | Jan 18 22:52 |
sebsebseb | it's just there | Jan 18 22:52 |
sebsebseb | hardly ever going to boot it up | Jan 18 22:52 |
MinceR | in windows 3.1, you couldn't replace the window manager | Jan 18 22:52 |
sebsebseb | oh I used to like Vista, untill two things | Jan 18 22:52 |
MinceR | changing the window decorations meant painting over the original decorations | Jan 18 22:52 |
MinceR | etc. | Jan 18 22:52 |
sebsebseb | I mean I used to not mind Vista much at all untill two things | Jan 18 22:52 |
MinceR | windows 3.1 was an unimaginable mess | Jan 18 22:52 |
TheMadHatter | Norton Commander | Jan 18 22:52 |
sebsebseb | 1. before it deleted my Ext4 seperate home partition twice, yeah twice since the one I had, and then another when I made a new one. I installed Vista twice, well I wanted to destroy for fun first etc, before clean installing | Jan 18 22:53 |
TheMadHatter | Right, 3.1 was a mess. And you think that it has improved since? | Jan 18 22:53 |
TheMadHatter | I have a bridge for sale... | Jan 18 22:53 |
sebsebseb | it wanted to install where a partition was I said go in free space, bye bye Ext4 home partition | Jan 18 22:53 |
MinceR | in some ways windows has improved, in other ways it got worse | Jan 18 22:53 |
sebsebseb | 2. I reolized that I liked Vista kind of, but only really since the eye candy it came with, the backgrounds and other pictures | Jan 18 22:54 |
TheMadHatter | in my opinion, there has been no improvement. | Jan 18 22:54 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: same thing for Ubuntu | Jan 18 22:54 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: in some ways it has improved in other ways it has got worse since 7.10 | Jan 18 22:54 |
MinceR | i think that replacing the old kernel with NT was an improvement and that getting rid of program manager was an improvement too | Jan 18 22:54 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: indeed | Jan 18 22:55 |
sebsebseb | 8.04 would have been an even better release, if it didn't have pulse audio | Jan 18 22:55 |
sebsebseb | oh and that automatic shust down after a minute feature which is really part of Gnome, didn't come untill 8.10, but if could have that in 8.04 as well :D | Jan 18 22:55 |
MinceR | i could avoid pulseaudio by using Kubuntu | Jan 18 22:56 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: Karmic is really Ubuntu's Vista, just most newbies and such don't reolize it | Jan 18 22:56 |
MinceR | but i hope it will get better | Jan 18 22:56 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: no, that was Intrepid | Jan 18 22:56 |
sebsebseb | no way | Jan 18 22:56 |
MinceR | and Jaunty was its vista7 | Jan 18 22:56 |
sebsebseb | no | Jan 18 22:56 |
sebsebseb | not at all | Jan 18 22:56 |
MinceR | Karmic is a lot better than those two | Jan 18 22:56 |
MinceR | for one thing, it has KDE 4.3 | Jan 18 22:57 |
TheMadHatter | I used to like Moon OS, but it appears to be dead. | Jan 18 22:57 |
sebsebseb | 8.10 is my favourite release over all since 8.04, ok the ethernet woudn't just work on other computer, but anyway, plus by the time I finally did it | Jan 18 22:57 |
MinceR | pretty much the first stable release of KDE4 | Jan 18 22:57 |

sebsebseb | Ubuntu logo in the centre of the screen on boot up what a joke | Jan 18 22:58 |
TheMadHatter | XFCE is nothing like Gnome. | Jan 18 22:58 |
sebsebseb | XFCE is a sort of cut down version of Gnome | Jan 18 22:59 |
sebsebseb | that also isn't as good or so it seems to me | Jan 18 22:59 |
MinceR | well, Xubuntu made it a lot like Gnome, but maybe they include a lot of nonstandard add-ons | Jan 18 22:59 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: Ive been Xfce for a while.....no issues or drawbacks! | Jan 18 22:59 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: ok well Xubuntu is a uh | Jan 18 22:59 |
TheMadHatter | Gnome is a kludge. XFCE runs nicely. | Jan 18 22:59 |
sebsebseb | ,but I already knew that | Jan 18 22:59 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: I tried some XFCE distro in a vm whenever it was I think PC LInux OS with XFCE, and that was like, this is good | Jan 18 22:59 |
sebsebseb | Xubuntu is uh how it's set up by default, and even more uh now with Karmic, some dark theme uh | Jan 18 23:00 |
