| schestowitz | I read about it last year | Jun 27 02:45 |
| DaemonFC | not really | Jun 27 02:46 |
| DaemonFC | there's a new help engine that's the same thing | Jun 27 02:46 |
| DaemonFC | hlp files were actually better | Jun 27 02:46 |
| DaemonFC | Winhlp has a simple HTML subset that only has the essential features needed to render the hlp file | Jun 27 02:47 |
| DaemonFC | it had nothing to do with IE | Jun 27 02:47 |
| -BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[doctorow] I usually take a couple months between books and work on other stuff; it was 4 months between FTW and my new one @editorialdept #YAlitchat | Jun 27 02:48 | |

| DaemonFC | In the case of Linux, it might also mean you have to have Xulrunner installed even if you don't need or want Firefox | Jun 27 02:49 |
| DaemonFC | so it creates two problems | Jun 27 02:50 |
| DaemonFC | remove Xulrunner and you get rid of the help system and you yank out the meta package that helps system upgrades go correctly | Jun 27 02:50 |

| -BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[doctorow] I guess Star Wars. Both suffer from too much expansion by their franchise owners @kcclyburn #YAlitchat | Jun 27 02:57 | |

| DaemonFC | Zune is like, the bottom of the also-ran list | Jun 27 04:47 |
| DaemonFC | or pretty damned close | Jun 27 04:47 |
| DaemonFC | it's not really saying much considering they have like a billion times the ad budget of the rest of the non-Crapple competition put together | Jun 27 04:47 |
| DaemonFC | if you can't make something look cool despite like half a billion dollars to market it with, you have failed | Jun 27 04:48 |
| DaemonFC | Apple's products aren't that great, but even they can muster up a marketing campaign | Jun 27 04:48 |
| DaemonFC | so Zune is double fail | Jun 27 04:49 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I have no idea why Ballmer keeps the Zune, do you? its a disaster | Jun 27 04:49 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | No, Zune is not dieing. Its already dead | Jun 27 04:50 |
| DaemonFC | The Zune is a mediocre PMP, the price is way too damned high though | Jun 27 04:50 |
| DaemonFC | and the communication protocol is proprietary and everything known to make it work in Linux is reverse engineered | Jun 27 04:51 |
| DaemonFC | there's no reason to buy it vs. another player with similar or greater features costing 1/3rd the price | Jun 27 04:51 |

| DaemonFC | The Sansa Fuze 8 GB model can be had for $50 refurb or $70 new, and has a MicroSD expansion slot | Jun 27 04:53 |
| DaemonFC | and supports Vorbis and FLAC in addition to MPEG and Windows Media | Jun 27 04:53 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I think Sansa is in 2nd place behind Ipad, not Zune | Jun 27 04:53 |
| DaemonFC | so you could easily just buy another 16 or 32 GB MicroSD | Jun 27 04:53 |
| DaemonFC | and still not be too far over $100 | Jun 27 04:53 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | My Sansa Clip will play ogg files | Jun 27 04:54 |
| DaemonFC | yes, all they did was tweak the Tremor decoder a little bit probably | Jun 27 04:54 |

| *neighborlee (~quassel@unaffiliated/neighborlee) has joined #boycottnovell | Jun 27 04:54 | |
| DaemonFC | (Tremor = integer-based Vorbis decoder for embedded hardware) | Jun 27 04:54 |
| DaemonFC | so most of the work was already done for them | Jun 27 04:55 |
| DaemonFC | there's really no reason not to play Vorbis if you're a hardware maker, other than trying to corral your users into buying MPEG or Windows Media files | Jun 27 04:55 |
| DaemonFC | not supporting Vorbis is really kind of a form of user betrayal really | Jun 27 04:56 |
| DaemonFC | you're essentially forcing them to stockpile a library of patent-encumbered music in a technically inferior format | Jun 27 04:57 |
| DaemonFC | Vorbis is a much more flexible codec than MP3, and edges out AAC as well | Jun 27 04:57 |
| DaemonFC | that's before you even want to talk about patents | Jun 27 04:57 |
| DaemonFC | Flash storage space is not free you know | Jun 27 04:58 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | http://www.eetimes.com/rss/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=225701524&cid=RSSfeed_eetimes_newsRSS "Also at FTF, Freescale announced its move to a 64-bit architecture for the QorIQ family with its e5500 Power core, which analysts claimed is faster than competitive cores from Cavium and NetLogic but still slightly behind Intel's Xeon in raw performance. " | Jun 27 04:58 |
| DaemonFC | if you can get the same quality and use half the space of MP3, go for it | Jun 27 04:58 |
| DaemonFC | true that there's no point bickering about space on a modern hard drive, but portables don't have that kind of storage | Jun 27 04:58 |
| DaemonFC | and making two copies of your media library is unwieldy | Jun 27 04:59 |

| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: The thing that stunned me about Zune HD is the HD radio receiver | Jun 27 05:00 |
| DaemonFC | what a crock of shit that thing it | Jun 27 05:00 |
| DaemonFC | *is | Jun 27 05:00 |
| DaemonFC | there's like, six HD radio stations in Indiana | Jun 27 05:00 |
| DaemonFC | SIX | Jun 27 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | and most of them are talk radio | Jun 27 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | two are in range of me I believe | Jun 27 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | one is talk radio and the other is jazz | Jun 27 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | Who wants a Zune HD? Teenagers and young adults don't listen to Rush Limbaugh or jazz music | Jun 27 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | are they marketing it to those trendy 60+ year olds with gobs of Social Security cash? | Jun 27 05:02 |
| DaemonFC | :D | Jun 27 05:02 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | from sales figures it seems hardly anyone would want a zune | Jun 27 05:02 |
| DaemonFC | the HD radio support is a scam | Jun 27 05:02 |
| DaemonFC | the feature sounds impressive but there's nothing to listen to | Jun 27 05:02 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Rush? | Jun 27 05:03 |
| DaemonFC | Indiana is bigger than a lot of sovereign nations and has SIX HD radio stations that nobody in their right mind would listen to | Jun 27 05:03 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | LOL | Jun 27 05:03 |
| DaemonFC | landwise, Indiana is bigger than Hungary | Jun 27 05:04 |
| DaemonFC | population higher than Ireland | Jun 27 05:05 |
| DaemonFC | and we have 6 radio stations across the state that sound better on the Zune HD | Jun 27 05:05 |
| DaemonFC | and you'll never be in range of more than 1-2 of them | Jun 27 05:06 |
| DaemonFC | that's $300 well spent | Jun 27 05:06 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: HD Radio failed a long time before the Zune HD even came out | Jun 27 05:07 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | well as a former MVP DaemonFC, we know you had an Xbox360, did you also have an Zune? | Jun 27 05:07 |
| DaemonFC | I don't even know who wanted to support that | Jun 27 05:07 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: I have never owned a Zune | Jun 27 05:07 |
| DaemonFC | I have used one briefly | Jun 27 05:07 |
| DaemonFC | a Microsoft representative went over the old hard-drive based models with me | Jun 27 05:07 |
| DaemonFC | back when they were new | Jun 27 05:08 |
| DaemonFC | I was more impressed with them, honestly | Jun 27 05:08 |
| DaemonFC | than the Zune HD | Jun 27 05:08 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | So their it is, even MS MVP's (well former ones that is) will not get or use Zunes | Jun 27 05:08 |
| DaemonFC | if you want to waste your money, go right ahead | Jun 27 05:08 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not touching one of those things | Jun 27 05:08 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | me either | Jun 27 05:08 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: Oddly enough, there might be one case where the Zune does something that's not common in other hardware | Jun 27 05:09 |
| DaemonFC | it will play back WMA Pro v10 and WMA Lossless files | Jun 27 05:09 |
| DaemonFC | if anyone considers that a feature | Jun 27 05:09 |
| DaemonFC | almost no other portable supports either codec | Jun 27 05:10 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: They support WMA "Standard" which, the format for that was frozen in late 1997, and any improvements on it have been encoder-side | Jun 27 05:10 |
| DaemonFC | so they have to live with the design flaws they made in the mid 1990s forever | Jun 27 05:11 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> I bought a used laptop recently, mostly for the parts, it was a good deal..Except Vi$ta was on the HD. Just had to play with it a bit. Looked like the seller had tried a clean install, I thought first. | Jun 27 05:11 |
| DaemonFC | it will never even rival MP3 | Jun 27 05:11 |
| DaemonFC | there was a time when it came close, but that was when MP3 encoders were a lot worse | Jun 27 05:11 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | So I plopped in an antivirus disk, and guess what, it was rootkitted among other malware. And yes, UAC was still working. | Jun 27 05:12 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy: Zune Store dumbfounds me | Jun 27 05:12 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Of couse I DBANNED it and put Linux | Jun 27 05:12 |
| DaemonFC | it doesn't use WMA Pro even though their DRM makes it incompatible with every other player anyway | Jun 27 05:12 |
| DaemonFC | so they may as well | Jun 27 05:12 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Zune has a store? | Jun 27 05:12 |
| DaemonFC | yes | Jun 27 05:12 |
| DaemonFC | DRM'd WMA "Standard" | Jun 27 05:13 |
| DaemonFC | and not even PlayReady or PlaysForSure | Jun 27 05:13 |
| DaemonFC | DRM that's exclusive to the Zune | Jun 27 05:13 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | oh, ok | Jun 27 05:13 |
| DaemonFC | the files will never work outside of that | Jun 27 05:13 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | DRM=gates/control/ware | Jun 27 05:13 |
| DaemonFC | they have passable hardware, it's priced way too high, their store is a joke and a walled garden | Jun 27 05:14 |
| DaemonFC | and all support for them in Linux is a reverse engineered library that probably violates patents | Jun 27 05:14 |
| DaemonFC | and that only gets you so far as file transfer | Jun 27 05:14 |
| DaemonFC | not playing anything you bought | Jun 27 05:14 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Ballmer should rename the Zune, to the BRICK | Jun 27 05:15 |
| DaemonFC | Paul Thurrott is the only person I heard of that recommends Zune | Jun 27 05:15 |
| DaemonFC | but he also defends Internet Explorer | Jun 27 05:15 |
| DaemonFC | and defended Vista | Jun 27 05:15 |
| DaemonFC | and Me | Jun 27 05:16 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | MS has renamed about ever other failed product multiple times, except for the Zune | Jun 27 05:16 |
| DaemonFC | and spread lies about iPod being about to support WMA | Jun 27 05:16 |
| DaemonFC | he said that, you can google it | Jun 27 05:16 |
| DaemonFC | circa 2004 | Jun 27 05:16 |
| DaemonFC | he said WMA was going to take over the world | Jun 27 05:16 |
| DaemonFC | and Apple would fear and respect it | Jun 27 05:16 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Jun 27 05:16 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | but, in some ways wma came closest | Jun 27 05:16 |
| DaemonFC | he's a paid shill | Jun 27 05:17 |
| DaemonFC | nothing more | Jun 27 05:17 |
| DaemonFC | he's the worst one I've seen though | Jun 27 05:17 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | which is a scary thought if wma had won out | Jun 27 05:17 |
| DaemonFC | even MS MVPs usually can't recommend IE with a straight face | Jun 27 05:17 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | seen a lot of wma on computers I had to clean the windows malware on for people | Jun 27 05:18 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | wma=porn mostly | Jun 27 05:18 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | =malware | Jun 27 05:18 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft doesn't even want the Zune at this point | Jun 27 05:19 |
| DaemonFC | the only reason they're still making them is so they don't have to admit they lost | Jun 27 05:19 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Baller does | Jun 27 05:19 |
| DaemonFC | lose money or admit defeat | Jun 27 05:19 |
| DaemonFC | bad choices | Jun 27 05:19 |
| cubezzz | wma very often means DRM too | Jun 27 05:19 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Its part of Ballmer and Gate's 3 screens and cloud vision | Jun 27 05:20 |
| DaemonFC | sooner or later the shareholders will make Microsoft get rid of the Zune | Jun 27 05:20 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | and they know that their vision is never wrong | Jun 27 05:20 |
| cubezzz | bah their hayday is over | Jun 27 05:20 |
| DaemonFC | even the XBOX comes close to breaking even, close enough to string the investors along | Jun 27 05:20 |
| DaemonFC | Zune doesn't even give them that | Jun 27 05:20 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | they will waste many more billions on their vision. this is a good thing, as it weakens MS more. | Jun 27 05:21 |

The end effect is a ticked off user. That's why I am concerned about remarks recently made by Microsoft about its nascent smartphone platform." | Jun 27 05:29 |

| DaemonFC | and you know they'll count the ads towards your bandwidth quota | Jun 27 05:31 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | well yes | Jun 27 05:31 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | you going pay the bandwidth for ads | Jun 27 05:31 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | MS has always spent more time trying to break the competitons products with windows, than improving windows. Take DRDOS as an example, running it with Win3x | Jun 27 06:00 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | MS is more about control, and unethical business practices than improving its software | Jun 27 06:01 |

| DaemonFC | well, it's not like it's possible to ignore them | Jun 27 08:57 |
| DaemonFC | when the things they do corrupt the PC right down to how hardware gets designed | Jun 27 08:58 |
| DaemonFC | (designed around limitations in Windows) | Jun 27 08:58 |
| DaemonFC | those new large sector hard drives that have to emulate obsolete behavior to keep from crashing XP for example | Jun 27 08:58 |
| DaemonFC | they don't even sell XP anymore | Jun 27 08:59 |
| DaemonFC | why is hardware being designed around limitations in 10 year old OS software? | Jun 27 08:59 |
| schestowitz | I told you, ask Ubuntu | Jun 27 09:00 |
| schestowitz | You're veering off topic in a way | Jun 27 09:00 |
| DaemonFC | ask them why a hard disk maker is compensating for Windows XP? | Jun 27 09:00 |
| schestowitz | This is a technical issue | Jun 27 09:00 |
| DaemonFC | they have to design BIOS ROMs around glitches in Windows | Jun 27 09:01 |
| DaemonFC | nobody worries about if Linux kernel panics | Jun 27 09:01 |
| DaemonFC | GPUs are largely designed around the way Windows interacts with them | Jun 27 09:02 |
| DaemonFC | leading to worse performance in Linux | Jun 27 09:02 |
| DaemonFC | x86 pc is a pretty hostile environment for FOSS operating systems | Jun 27 09:02 |
| DaemonFC | when you think about it | Jun 27 09:03 |
| DaemonFC | the fact they work as often as they do is in spite of the various problems you run into with the PC itself from the moment you hit the power button | Jun 27 09:03 |
| DaemonFC | I think that in order for Linux to work as well as possible, non-x86 PC devices are going to have to become more mainstream | Jun 27 09:04 |

| cubezzz | ummm, I think I mentioned my 17 year old still working Intel cpu machine? | Jun 27 09:08 |
| DaemonFC | and you can't even say that they actually support linux totally | Jun 27 09:08 |
| cubezzz | not to mention my intel 8085 cpu which still works | Jun 27 09:08 |
| cubezzz | from 1983 | Jun 27 09:08 |
| DaemonFC | because a lot of the drivers they churn out are only FOSS to a point | Jun 27 09:08 |
| cubezzz | you must be in an alternate universe or something | Jun 27 09:09 |
| DaemonFC | AMD hardware just works a lot better | Jun 27 09:09 |
| cubezzz | I guess you just like complaining all the time | Jun 27 09:09 |
| DaemonFC | Intel only has one range of products that work well | Jun 27 09:09 |
| DaemonFC | and that's their most expensive things | Jun 27 09:09 |
| DaemonFC | like if you want to go buy an i9, you'll probably love it | Jun 27 09:10 |
| cubezzz | older intel chips were fine | Jun 27 09:10 |
| DaemonFC | actually, the only people I hear say they're happy with Intel are using a $500 Intel CPU | Jun 27 09:11 |
| DaemonFC | and at that range, you better keep the customer happy | Jun 27 09:11 |
| cubezzz | guess what, no computer is perfect | Jun 27 09:11 |
| cubezzz | really I can't complain about intel cpus | Jun 27 09:11 |

| DaemonFC | they cripple it to death | Jun 27 09:12 |
| DaemonFC | in subtle ways | Jun 27 09:12 |
| cubezzz | so you get what you pay for, big surprise | Jun 27 09:12 |
| DaemonFC | and it's too expensive for what it does | Jun 27 09:12 |
| cubezzz | I've ran this p3 since at least 2000 | Jun 27 09:12 |
| DaemonFC | you should be able to buy an entire PC for the cost of just the board and CPU if you want decent Intel stuff | Jun 27 09:12 |
| cubezzz | that's 10 years | Jun 27 09:12 |
| cubezzz | it's _never_ overheated | Jun 27 09:13 |
| DaemonFC | Walmart has gotten rid of Intel in everything in stock, because it drives up the total cost of the system too much | Jun 27 09:13 |
| DaemonFC | and Intel's budget CPUs were leading to massive return rates | Jun 27 09:13 |
| DaemonFC | high failure rates are a good way to get on Wal-Mart's bad side if you have a competitor with more reliable products | Jun 27 09:14 |
| DaemonFC | Wal-Mart doesn't *like* having to pile tons of defective merchandise in the back room waiting to get credited by the supplier | Jun 27 09:15 |
