| DaemonFC | :P | Jul 01 00:00 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 01 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | "The Kin devices were the result of extensive development under the code name "Project Pink," and based in part on technologies acquired by Microsoft in its $500 million purchase of Danger Inc" "Microsoft has neither confirmed nor denied reports that only 500 of the Kins were sold since the launch last month." | Jul 01 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | Wow, that's $1 million a phone | Jul 01 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | but at least they got $50 back from each one | Jul 01 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | That's like a rebate or something! | Jul 01 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | "Additionally, we are integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone releases," | Jul 01 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | Dear investors, we didn't waste your money, we recycled it! | Jul 01 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | :D | Jul 01 00:02 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 01 00:02 |
| MinceR | we didn't waste your money, it gave us some nice warmth in the fireplace | Jul 01 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, According to Statcounter, Bing only brought MSN/Live Search from 3.25% market share since the rebranding to 3.75% as of this month | Jul 01 00:04 |
| DaemonFC | ouch | Jul 01 00:04 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 01 00:04 |
| DaemonFC | that's a lot of money to maybe have brought Google down half a percent | Jul 01 00:04 |
| Diablo-D3 | fireplace? | Jul 01 00:04 |
| Diablo-D3 | is that where you get firefoxes? | Jul 01 00:05 |
| *Diablo-D3 runs | Jul 01 00:05 | |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 01 00:05 |
| DaemonFC | How do you tell your investors you spent $1 billion in rebranding, development, and bribes to gain a half a percent on your competitor? | Jul 01 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | Well, they did increase their marketshare by 13.4% | Jul 01 00:06 |
| MinceR | they'll lie | Jul 01 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | that's probably the best way they could put it without lying | Jul 01 00:06 |
| MinceR | they'll claim that their new Bing-o (was his name-o) site got 3.75% market share from nothing. | Jul 01 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | so basically just don't count that Live Search had 3.25% before they called it Bing? | Jul 01 00:07 |
| MinceR | indeed | Jul 01 00:07 |
| Diablo-D3 | bingo | Jul 01 00:07 |
| *Diablo-D3 cant unsee ;_; | Jul 01 00:07 | |
| DaemonFC | Bing is one of the search options in Chrome, Chrome also defaults to Bing if that's your IE default search | Jul 01 00:07 |
| DaemonFC | so it's almost like Google felt bad for them and is trying to help out | Jul 01 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | :D | Jul 01 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | "Hey, we TRIED to give you all the Chrome users on Windows, but they went and changed it back to Google, sorry!" | Jul 01 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 01 00:08 |
| MinceR | Diablo-D3: "bingo" is what you say if you've managed to find a relevant page with it. | Jul 01 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | Oh my god, I did find the right link, it was on page 9 all along! | Jul 01 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | God this is wonderful! | Jul 01 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | How did I live without it? | Jul 01 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jul 01 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Those ads where they have the guy going nuts over the "Brand X" engine that's obviously supposed to be Google was funny | Jul 01 00:10 |
| -BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] Did I not say the #kin would flop? #microsoft has axed it. www.neowin.net/news/ding-dong-the-microsoft-kin-is-dead | Jul 01 00:10 | |
| DaemonFC | "The links, so many of them, so useless!!" or something like that | Jul 01 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | it's almost like they were describing themselves | Jul 01 00:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | aww goblin isnt in here again | Jul 01 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I had to nab all the Fanboy adblock plus list links from Firefox to use in Chrome because Adblock for Chrome only lists EasyList | Jul 01 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | which misses all the pornographic ads in Russian warez sites for some reason | Jul 01 00:12 |
| DaemonFC | Fanboy manages to block them :) | Jul 01 00:12 |
| schestowitz | Florian defends Microsoft's buddy SAP now??? | Jul 01 00:12 |
| schestowitz | What a weird position | Jul 01 00:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | SAP isnt so bad | Jul 01 00:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | they use Java | Jul 01 00:13 |
| *Diablo-D3 runs | Jul 01 00:13 | |
| DaemonFC | I've never laughed so hard in my life until I listened to the MPAA plant talk about how the US government is going to brow beat Russia into giving a shit about warez sites | Jul 01 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | that one had me in stitches | Jul 01 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | she managed to say the shit without cracking a smile | Jul 01 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | that's either ignorance or talent | Jul 01 00:13 |
| MinceR | don't they wish | Jul 01 00:13 |
| MinceR | they'll have to bribe the russians directly | Jul 01 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | right, as in lots of money to every Russian politician that has a vote in the matter | Jul 01 00:14 |
| MinceR | exactly | Jul 01 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | How much you think the bribes will cost in the end? | Jul 01 00:14 |
| MinceR | a ludicrous amount | Jul 01 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | there's like almost 400 of them in the Duma | Jul 01 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | then they have to get Medvedev to sign it | Jul 01 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | right? | Jul 01 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | Russia is the real problem for them | Jul 01 00:15 |
| DaemonFC | since it's not a typical little country that they can easily bribe or crush with sanctions | Jul 01 00:15 |
| MinceR | and the PRC | Jul 01 00:15 |
| DaemonFC | like Hungary (no offense) :D | Jul 01 00:15 |
| MinceR | basically they have the usian government in their pockets now | Jul 01 00:16 |
| MinceR | but not every government answers to the usian government | Jul 01 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | pretty much | Jul 01 00:16 |
| MinceR | so they're going to have to buy some more governments | Jul 01 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | they can't afford to buy every government it would take to shut down "piracy" | Jul 01 00:17 |
| DaemonFC | and even if they could, that wouldn't stop magnet links that used .onion sites as a tracker | Jul 01 00:17 |
| DaemonFC | would it? | Jul 01 00:17 |
| MinceR | piracy always finds a way, matey | Jul 01 00:17 |
| DaemonFC | that's going to be hilarious, when they drive Bittorrent onto TOR-only pseudo-sites | Jul 01 00:18 |
| MinceR | nah | Jul 01 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | and can't figure out where the hell to go next | Jul 01 00:18 |
| MinceR | BT can already do trackerless operation via DHT | Jul 01 00:18 |
| MinceR | just like any real P2P filesharing system | Jul 01 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | right, but an index is still handy | Jul 01 00:18 |
| MinceR | BT was particularly vulnerable without DHT and it still thrives | Jul 01 00:18 |
| schestowitz | "PDF1/A is ISO spec and pretty much out of Adobe's hands, its a rare successful transition from proprietary to standard." http://twitter.com/Codepope/status/17421539302 | Jul 01 00:18 |
| Techrights | Title: Twitter / Dj Walker-Morgan: @schestowitz PDF1/A is ISO ... .::. Size~: 11.44 KB | Jul 01 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | I mean watch the indexes end up on .onions | Jul 01 00:18 |
| MinceR | freenet works too | Jul 01 00:19 |
| schestowitz | It looks better on paper than in practice. And ISO is corrupt (not just OOXML). | Jul 01 00:19 |
| DaemonFC | They can't get an injunction against a .onion | Jul 01 00:19 |
| MinceR | the MAFIAA's been fighting this uphill battle for a while now | Jul 01 00:19 |
| DaemonFC | they'd have to know who was operating it and where | Jul 01 00:19 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Adobe Reader is a crock | Jul 01 00:20 |
| DaemonFC | if PDF relied on it, it would be unpopular | Jul 01 00:20 |
| DaemonFC | the setup file for Adobe Reader on Windows is 500% the size of Foxit Reader, and Foxit Reader is twice the size of SumatraPDF | Jul 01 00:20 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jul 01 00:20 |
| DaemonFC | so Adobe Reader is like 5-10 times the reasonable size for what it does | Jul 01 00:21 |
| DaemonFC | Why is it so bloated? What could it possibly be doing? | Jul 01 00:22 |
| DaemonFC | Probably typical Windows shovelware, poorly built, installs system services, plugs up your web browsers with crap toolbars you didn't request | Jul 01 00:23 |
| DaemonFC | I'll be damned if I'll install it and find out | Jul 01 00:23 |

| schestowitz | tessier: this morning the server had heavy load and then stopped serving, so I restarted it and it worked. However, I noticed that the apache logs now show 2 identical entries for each request | Jul 01 01:11 |
| tessier | That is weird. | Jul 01 01:11 |
| tessier | Never seen that before. | Jul 01 01:11 |
| tessier | Your instance of wordpress seems to have some challenges. I've never seen apache behave so strangely as this one has. | Jul 01 01:12 |
| schestowitz | Is it working twice on the same task? | Jul 01 01:12 |
| tessier | I assume it is WP anyway. The rest of apache is bog standard. | Jul 01 01:12 |
| -BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] RT @_goblin Lol #kin seems to be talked about more when #microsoft axes it than when they were trying to sell it. #mvp | Jul 01 01:12 | |
| schestowitz | That's what worried me cause there was heavy load afterwards too | Jul 01 01:12 |
| tessier | I don't see how it could be unless the apache listener were somehow handing the same task off to two children. | Jul 01 01:12 |
| tessier | Restarting apache may clear that up. | Jul 01 01:13 |
| tessier | Mind if I restart it and see what it does? | Jul 01 01:13 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes it shows up just once, e.g. when it serves Yahoo! Slurp | Jul 01 01:13 |
| schestowitz | tessier: sure | Jul 01 01:13 |
| tessier | I stopped apache and there are still two httpd processes left. | Jul 01 01:13 |
| schestowitz | All I did was restart httpd because I spotted this. It may have begun like this before I even restarted, I hadn't checked | Jul 01 01:14 |
| tessier | That has got to be related | Jul 01 01:14 |
| tessier | I'll manually kill them off | Jul 01 01:14 |

| oiaohm | Lot of so called MS undocumented calls are documented by wine. | Jul 06 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | right, because application developers find out about them and start using them | Jul 06 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | then Wine has to support them too | Jul 06 07:28 |

| Techrights | Title: Today Finland officially becomes first nation to make broadband a legal right .::. Size~: 77.65 KB | Jul 06 07:31 |
| DaemonFC | I think that only really applies to 32-bit processes anyway because DEP is mandatory on 64-bit processes anyway | Jul 06 07:31 |
| DaemonFC | you can get away with mandatory DEP on 64-bit Windows and not cause system instability because the shell is all 64-bit processes | Jul 06 07:32 |
| DaemonFC | which means that anything that extends Explorer is a 64-bit process | Jul 06 07:32 |
| DaemonFC | which means the people who made the extension wouldn't have gotten it to work if it wasn't compatible with DEP | Jul 06 07:33 |
| DaemonFC | 32-bit Explorer and 32-bit Explorer extensions had a problem when you turned on mandatory DEP, where the extension would sometimes misbehave and crash Explorer | Jul 06 07:33 |
| DaemonFC | I noticed that the shell extension provided by WinZIP did that all the time | Jul 06 07:34 |

| MinceR | :> | Jul 06 15:44 |
| Ziodotmatrix | MinceR: a successful government that welcomes freedom of speech is a house divided where each side sees interest in the other of having bad press leaked. | Jul 06 15:45 |
| MadRobot | schestowitz, Ziodotmatrix, sorry ppl. But I can't just limit my tweets to FOSS and Tech-related just so that they remain ontopic here. | Jul 06 15:46 |
| MadRobot | Tech-related *stuff* | Jul 06 15:46 |
| MinceR | there's a solution for that. :> | Jul 06 15:47 |
| Ziodotmatrix | MadRobot: it's fine if it's political but it would be nice if it has something to do with how it effects our intake of information or a specific political and interest that can. Mass immigration of X ppl is such an overused argument with little signifigance other then to scare ppl into passing ever tighter laws. | Jul 06 15:48 |
| Ziodotmatrix | MadRobot: funny that the UK doesn't care about it's massive Polish diaspora now. | Jul 06 15:49 |
| cubezzz | Ireland had a few mass exoduses | Jul 06 15:49 |
| MadRobot | Ziodotmatrix, again. I don't see how that solves the problem. | Jul 06 15:49 |
| Ziodotmatrix | MadRobot: partially due to globalization sucking certain continents and regions dry of decent work. | Jul 06 15:49 |

| cubezzz | the perils of mono-culture 19th century edition | Jul 06 15:50 |
| Ziodotmatrix | MadRobot: blame your service economy on the massive immigration and lax laws for it, not the immigrants so much. | Jul 06 15:50 |
| MadRobot | Ziodotmatrix, what does immigration have to do with what the topic talks about? | Jul 06 15:51 |
| MadRobot | Ziodotmatrix, sorry, I meant article. | Jul 06 15:51 |
| MadRobot | Ziodotmatrix, immigration alone could never make this huge numbers, ya know. | Jul 06 15:52 |
| MinceR | yay for you, you still think life is a race to reproduce. | Jul 06 15:52 |
| MadRobot | Plus, it's not that I'm feeling proud of my countries economy either. | Jul 06 15:52 |
| MinceR | even though the planet is already overpopulated and its resources overtaxed. | Jul 06 15:52 |
| MadRobot | MinceR, who are you talking to? | Jul 06 15:52 |
| Ziodotmatrix | MadRobot: rising Muslim populations due to higher birthrates (codespeak for poor people) and mass immigration and conversions (of poor minorities) | Jul 06 15:52 |
| MinceR | MadRobot: you. | Jul 06 15:52 |
| MadRobot | MinceR, I think life is a race to reproduce? Who told you that joke? | Jul 06 15:53 |
| MinceR | you take pride in people in your cult reproducing. | Jul 06 15:53 |
| MadRobot | Ziodotmatrix, yeah, right. Not even with birthrate. | Jul 06 15:53 |
| Ziodotmatrix | MinceR: it's not overpopulated it's just the geographic pupulation density is severely ascue. | Jul 06 15:53 |
| MinceR | askew? | Jul 06 15:54 |

| Ziomatrix | MinceR: thats what I thought MS went back to for NT | Jul 06 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | lots of former VMS programmers scalped by IBM and Microsoft, MinceR | Jul 06 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | including Dave Cutler | Jul 06 20:25 |
| ender2070 | 386bsd | Jul 06 20:25 |
| ender2070 | ? | Jul 06 20:25 |
| cubezzz | Xenix on PC XT 8086 1981 | Jul 06 20:25 |
| ender2070 | ah | Jul 06 20:25 |
| cubezzz | maybe 8088 | Jul 06 20:25 |
| cubezzz | but Xenix was first, then Venix | Jul 06 20:25 |
| ender2070 | what about first open source unix | Jul 06 20:26 |
| cubezzz | hmmm | Jul 06 20:26 |
| cubezzz | we were just discussing that in a different forum | Jul 06 20:27 |
| cubezzz | "Net/2 was the basis for two separate ports of BSD to the Intel 80386 architecture: the free 386BSD by William Jolitz and the proprietary BSD/386 (later renamed BSD/OS) by Berkeley Software Design (BSDi)" | Jul 06 20:27 |
| cubezzz | so I think it was 386BSD | Jul 06 20:27 |
| ender2070 | yeah | Jul 06 20:27 |
| ender2070 | I wasn't thinking of properitary ones earlier | Jul 06 20:28 |
| cubezzz | Net/2 was a problem for some reason | Jul 06 20:28 |
| ender2070 | who invented unix | Jul 06 20:28 |
| ender2070 | Ken Thompson | Jul 06 20:29 |
| cubezzz | the name that comes to mind is Dennis Richie but yes also others like Ken | Jul 06 20:29 |
| cubezzz | Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan | Jul 06 20:30 |
| cubezzz | before my time | Jul 06 20:31 |
| cubezzz | the first Unix thing I saw was Venix | Jul 06 20:31 |
| ender2070 | well Ken Thompson happened to be one of the people who helped co-invent google go | Jul 06 20:32 |
| cubezzz | I remember he programmed Belle, a chess computer | Jul 06 20:34 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Indiana law says that there can be only one community mental health center per county | Jul 06 22:19 |
| DaemonFC | they have a sliding scale if you have no insurance | Jul 06 22:19 |
| DaemonFC | that's what the community mental health center deal is all about | Jul 06 22:19 |
| DaemonFC | The local cartel, Bowen Center, was so thankful to our former Governor, Otis Bowen, for signing that law | Jul 06 22:20 |
| DaemonFC | that they named themselves after him | Jul 06 22:20 |
| schestowitz | "Meego for me is the best of all. Upstream first seems to be the way Meego does it. That shows the commitment I want." | Jul 06 22:20 |
| schestowitz | "Intel and Nokia are top Linux committers now" | Jul 06 22:20 |
| DaemonFC | state-protected monopoly | Jul 06 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | what they do is if you're on the sliding scale or Medicaid or Medicare, they actually break the law | Jul 06 22:21 |
| schestowitz | "Still fond of the old Palm OS whoes apps will still work (I think) with a recompile on Access." [me: @brotherred I still use my Palm Tungsten on a daily basis ] | Jul 06 22:21 |
| schestowitz | MeeGO looks OK | Jul 06 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | they have you see a Nurse Practitioner | Jul 06 22:21 |
| schestowitz | I hate Intel, but Nokia is not as bad | Jul 06 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | and they bill the state for a visit with the Psychiatrist | Jul 06 22:21 |
| schestowitz | Android and MeeGo should both compete at the top | Jul 06 22:21 |
| schestowitz | hypePhone is falling | Jul 06 22:22 |
| DaemonFC | well, it's more like "bending the law" | Jul 06 22:22 |
| schestowitz | You can see the chart | Jul 06 22:22 |
| MinceR | i don't use my palm tungsten because it fucking bricked itself | Jul 06 22:22 |
| schestowitz | Apple going down, Linux/Android ascending at its expense :0-) | Jul 06 22:22 |
| DaemonFC | because ISDH says that the Nurse Practitioner is operating under his license | Jul 06 22:22 |
| schestowitz | Apple sues :-) | Jul 06 22:22 |
| schestowitz | Jobs lost his marbles. Maybe he needs a transplant | Jul 06 22:22 |
| DaemonFC | so you're seeing someone that makes $15 an hour and the Bowen Cartel gets to bill the state for someone making closer to $70 an hour | Jul 06 22:22 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: do you get day off tomorrow? | Jul 06 22:23 |
| schestowitz | Or on Monday? | Jul 06 22:23 |

| schestowitz | I want to know when you guys take a break for Ind. Day when it falls on Sunday | Jul 06 22:23 |
| DaemonFC | and I'm a real ball breaker when I'm in HR manager mode | Jul 06 22:23 |
| DaemonFC | I don't give me an inch | Jul 06 22:23 |
| schestowitz | So that I can coordinate reading news | Jul 06 22:23 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Traditionally, it's the preceding Friday or the following Monday | Jul 06 22:24 |
| schestowitz | Which one? | Jul 06 22:24 |
| DaemonFC | depends on your company policy | Jul 06 22:24 |
| schestowitz | I could guess that too | Jul 06 22:24 |
| schestowitz | OK, so I guess 4-day low-volume | Jul 06 22:24 |
| DaemonFC | A lot of places have you work a 5 day week anyway | Jul 06 22:24 |
| DaemonFC | and jsut tack on another 8 hours pay | Jul 06 22:24 |
| schestowitz | I fell behind in news reading, so this is handy time for the holiday | Jul 06 22:24 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Walmart has the most evil policy for holiday pay I've ever seen | Jul 06 22:25 |
| DaemonFC | the computer figures it based on a fraction of the hours worked in the 12 weeks before the week of the holiday | Jul 06 22:25 |
| DaemonFC | so if you see like 7.92 hours of pay, that's why | Jul 06 22:25 |
| DaemonFC | if they can gyp a million people out of a fraction of an hour... | Jul 06 22:26 |
| DaemonFC | They recognize New Years, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas | Jul 06 22:27 |
| DaemonFC | then they typically cut you a day that week | Jul 06 22:27 |
| DaemonFC | not necessarily the holiday | Jul 06 22:27 |
| DaemonFC | So if Thanksgiving is Thursday, you may get any day besides Thusday | Jul 06 22:28 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jul 06 22:28 |
| DaemonFC | or Thursday if you're one of the suck-ups | Jul 06 22:28 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, I enjoyed being an hourly manager more than being a salary manager | Jul 06 22:28 |
| DaemonFC | because I could override the scheduling system and give myself the actual holidays | Jul 06 22:29 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 06 22:29 |
| DaemonFC | when you're an assistant manager though, the Co managers or the Store manager tell you what you get, and you're salary so you don't get anything | Jul 06 22:29 |
| DaemonFC | nice big fuck you and topped off with unpaid overtime | Jul 06 22:30 |
| schestowitz | watch language | Jul 06 22:30 |
| DaemonFC | :D | Jul 06 22:30 |
| schestowitz | no f word if you can avoid it | Jul 06 22:30 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, They hate Support Managers | Jul 06 22:30 |
| DaemonFC | because you still qualify as an hourly but you have most of the authoritah of an Assistant | Jul 06 22:31 |
| DaemonFC | they consider a Support Manager kind of like a way around the training policy which states that you have to go to a different store if they call you an Assistant Manager Trainee | Jul 06 22:32 |
| DaemonFC | so you're never in that position for more than a year or so if they can help it | Jul 06 22:32 |

| schestowitz | Then they make smaller packs that cost more money to make than processing of the corn, which is likely GMed in the US | Jul 06 22:40 |
| MinceR | that's what the Cereal Killer is for. | Jul 06 22:40 |
| cubezzz | uhhh | Jul 06 22:41 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Monsanto seeds | Jul 06 22:41 |
| DaemonFC | ftw | Jul 06 22:41 |
| DaemonFC | sterile seeds from the new harvest | Jul 06 22:41 |
| schestowitz | Money Santa | Jul 06 22:41 |
| DaemonFC | = sell farmers more seed next season | Jul 06 22:41 |
| schestowitz | But G-Med food | Jul 06 22:41 |
| schestowitz | Give money to Santos | Jul 06 22:41 |
| DaemonFC | the interesting thing about GM'd food is that they've actually done some useful things with it | Jul 06 22:42 |
| DaemonFC | like making corn that insects don't want to eat | Jul 06 22:42 |
| schestowitz | Sometims they feed just cattle with it | Jul 06 22:42 |
| DaemonFC | less spoiled crops for the farmers | Jul 06 22:42 |
| cubezzz | so what cereal should I be eating? | Jul 06 22:42 |
| schestowitz | Then use the animals as a sort of filter | Jul 06 22:42 |
| DaemonFC | cubezzz, I don't think it matters | Jul 06 22:42 |
| schestowitz | "Here, Betsy the cow, eat this rubbish, gain weight" | Jul 06 22:42 |
| DaemonFC | the whole GM'd food scare is up there with the fluoridated water scare | Jul 06 22:43 |
| schestowitz | Betsy is a bunch of cells to make more biological material to feed $consumer's stomach | Jul 06 22:43 |
| DaemonFC | it's all all from the Martians are gonna get us crowd | Jul 06 22:43 |
| MinceR | except it's not entirely a scare | Jul 06 22:43 |
| MinceR | i know of two problems with GM'd food | Jul 06 22:43 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: they can inter-breed to make natural variations | Jul 06 22:43 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Joseph Mercola | Jul 06 22:43 |
| DaemonFC | look him up | Jul 06 22:43 |
| schestowitz | Ones that nature approves of, not sterile | Jul 06 22:43 |
| DaemonFC | same quacks follow him | Jul 06 22:43 |
| MinceR | one is that they lock you into certain chemicals to treat them with | Jul 06 22:44 |
| schestowitz | But gene splicing is like pretending you can build life by just screwing about with code | Jul 06 22:44 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, If they can tinker with it to increase yield, it's a win | Jul 06 22:44 |
| MinceR | another is that they're occasionally modified into producing substances but aren't medically tested for the results | Jul 06 22:44 |
| DaemonFC | persiod | Jul 06 22:44 |
| schestowitz | BEGIN{for {1=1snksnddbsd3b33b3k25353553EIJE#&YHHDU#D]}END | Jul 06 22:44 |
| DaemonFC | and if it's sterile, it's not going to interbreed with anything | Jul 06 22:44 |
| DaemonFC | so where's the harm? | Jul 06 22:45 |
| MinceR | iirc there was an article about it | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | [22:44] <DaemonFC> schestowitz, If they can tinker with it to increase yield, it's a win | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | To whom? | Jul 06 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | everyone | Jul 06 22:45 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: if it's sterile. it occasionally might not be. | Jul 06 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | the customer pays higher prices when there's a lower yield | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | [22:44] <MinceR> another is that they're occasionally modified into producing substances but aren't medically tested for the results | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | Not treuw | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | They test on rats | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | For a few days | Jul 06 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | more people go hungry if the bugs eat half the crop | Jul 06 22:45 |
| *cubezzz munches on Oat O's | Jul 06 22:45 | |
| schestowitz | BRING to market. FAST. | Jul 06 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | profits go down for the people growing it | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | Test on rats for human studies... | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | :-) | Jul 06 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | everyone loses when you don't go with GM'd food | Jul 06 22:45 |
| schestowitz | And use small sample, few days | Jul 06 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | but these Mercola idiots are the ones against GM'd food | Jul 06 22:46 |
| schestowitz | To better serve the impatient shareholders | Jul 06 22:46 |
| DaemonFC | the pseudoscience morons | Jul 06 22:46 |
| DaemonFC | the aspartame scare idiots | Jul 06 22:46 |
| DaemonFC | same people | Jul 06 22:46 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: they don't only increase yield | Jul 06 22:46 |
| schestowitz | They do the perturbation to tell pesticides | Jul 06 22:46 |
| schestowitz | Roundup | Jul 06 22:46 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, You ever hear the phrase "Same shit, different asshole"? | Jul 06 22:46 |
| schestowitz | So it's engineering them to sell a so-called soluition | Jul 06 22:46 |
| schestowitz | Solution in search for a problem | Jul 06 22:47 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: Mercola is OK | Jul 06 22:47 |
| MinceR | iirc there also were intellectual monopoly issues | Jul 06 22:47 |
| DaemonFC | If you believe GM'd food is bad, go take some homeopathic remedies next time you get sick | Jul 06 22:47 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: maybe they had the same meal | Jul 06 22:47 |
| DaemonFC | same people | Jul 06 22:47 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: bullshit | Jul 06 22:47 |
| schestowitz | :-) | Jul 06 22:47 |
| cubezzz | I'm sure homeopathic remedies work for some things | Jul 06 22:48 |
| MinceR | only as much as placebo | Jul 06 22:48 |
| MinceR | placebo does work in some cases though | Jul 06 22:48 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: Mercola promotes "homeopathic remedies"\? | Jul 06 22:48 |
| MinceR | but homeopathy is still a scam | Jul 06 22:48 |
| DaemonFC | fluoride makes you sterile, artificial sweeteners make you sterile, so sterile that the people who consume the most of it are the ones with al lthe kids on welfare | Jul 06 22:48 |
| schestowitz | [22:48] <cubezzz> I'm sure homeopathic remedies work for some things | Jul 06 22:48 |
| schestowitz | Placebo | Jul 06 22:48 |
| DaemonFC | so I call bullshit on that | Jul 06 22:48 |
| schestowitz | Pill colour :-) | Jul 06 22:48 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: yes, that's very scientific | Jul 06 22:48 |
| cubezzz | I think human fertility is decreasing though | Jul 06 22:49 |
| schestowitz | I'd vote for dandy | Jul 06 22:49 |
| cubezzz | which is probably a good thing | Jul 06 22:49 |
| schestowitz | At least it containds active ingredients | Jul 06 22:49 |
| DaemonFC | cubezzz, That's why Earth has almost 7 billion people | Jul 06 22:49 |
| DaemonFC | because fertility is clearly down | Jul 06 22:49 |
| schestowitz | Ask patient what colour they expect the magic pill to be | Jul 06 22:49 |
| schestowitz | Make them some nice pollypop | Jul 06 22:49 |
| schestowitz | Serve with man-in-white-coat | Jul 06 22:49 |
| MinceR | 'there's one person who drinks it and has children' => 'cannot possibly increase the chance of sterility' | Jul 06 22:49 |
| MinceR | that's the very image of the scientific method, right? | Jul 06 22:49 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: try chiro | Jul 06 22:50 |
| MinceR | what's that? | Jul 06 22:50 |
| schestowitz | My old grandma tried it and it worked for her :-) | Jul 06 22:50 |
| cubezzz | well we've had the pill since the 60's | Jul 06 22:50 |
| DaemonFC | fertility is down in first world countries because most of them are smart enough to use birth control to protect their own assets | Jul 06 22:50 |
| schestowitz | It must be all true | Jul 06 22:50 |
| DaemonFC | people in the third world have nothing to lose | Jul 06 22:50 |
| schestowitz | Don't believe all those sccccccccccientists | Jul 06 22:50 |
| MinceR | fertility should be down everywhere | Jul 06 22:50 |
| schestowitz | I trust me [sic] grandma | Jul 06 22:50 |
| DaemonFC | and having 50 kids means that 5 might survive to take care of them when they're old and feeble | Jul 06 22:50 |
| schestowitz | Sarcasm aside, There are many Yanks who go like this | Jul 06 22:50 |
| MinceR | schestowitz: fucking magnets, how do they work? | Jul 06 22:50 |
| schestowitz | Anecdote before reswarch | Jul 06 22:51 |
| MinceR | here's a yank who works like that. | Jul 06 22:51 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Having 50 kids so that 5 may survive and take care of you is how our reproductive system is designed to work | Jul 06 22:51 |
| schestowitz | I reckon one in two smokers will say something like, my dad/friend/<other> smoked for X years and nothing happened | Jul 06 22:51 |
| DaemonFC | birth control is a patch | Jul 06 22:51 |

| DaemonFC | when I say "designed" I mean, that in natural selection, stupid traits don't tend to last long | Jul 06 22:53 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: preserving knowledge got us there | Jul 06 22:53 |
| DaemonFC | DNA mutates and favorable traits are passed down | Jul 06 22:53 |

| DaemonFC | MinceR, The Microsoft Store would probably have a submission process for things like Firefox | Jul 06 23:07 |
| DaemonFC | only Approved Firefox would run | Jul 06 23:07 |
| DaemonFC | for example | Jul 06 23:07 |

| MinceR | businesses are refusing vista and vista7 already, even though they aren't so locked down | Jul 06 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | the people who are smart enough to care will mass migrate to Linux or something | Jul 06 23:10 |
| schestowitz | [23:10] <MinceR> businesses are refusing vista and vista7 already, even though they aren't so locked down] | Jul 06 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | the vast majority of stupid idiots will pay Microsoft more money | Jul 06 23:10 |
| schestowitz | [Until they buy a new PC] | Jul 06 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | if Microsoft feared a mass exodus to Linux, they wouldn't even speak of such a system | Jul 06 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | so they obviously don't fear that | Jul 06 23:10 |
| MinceR | m$ is clueless | Jul 06 23:10 |
| MinceR | if they knew their stuff so well, they wouldn't be declining like they are | Jul 06 23:11 |

| schestowitz | I can think of no such thing, never seen them in tandem (Except webM debacle) | Jul 06 23:18 |
| DaemonFC | yeah, most companies would never live down actually saying "Our phone works, except when you hold it in your hand" | Jul 06 23:19 |
| DaemonFC | Apple somehow manages to deflect this stuff :) | Jul 06 23:19 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft is trying to figure out how to get away with that too | Jul 06 23:20 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jul 06 23:20 |
| MinceR | their cult is different | Jul 06 23:22 |
| MinceR | not a lot different, mind you | Jul 06 23:22 |
| MinceR | but certainly not vocal enough for this sort of bullshit | Jul 06 23:22 |
| DaemonFC | I actually laughed when I saw that and said out loud "What the hell? And those things cost how much?" | Jul 06 23:23 |
| MinceR | they don't believe themselves to be cool enough for it | Jul 06 23:23 |
| DaemonFC | utter disbelief that the cheap no-name phone that I got with my plan actually works better | Jul 06 23:23 |
| DaemonFC | yet the hypePhone is a household name? | Jul 06 23:23 |
| MinceR | yeah, sadly the shoddiness of crApple products is not well known | Jul 06 23:23 |
| MinceR | probably in part because they're so overpriced most consumers don't get to experience that crappiness firsthand | Jul 06 23:24 |
| DaemonFC | and Stockholm Syndrome for people that convince themselves they're not stupid for buying it for $500? | Jul 06 23:24 |
| DaemonFC | IT CAN'T BE BAD!!! I PAID for it!!! | Jul 06 23:24 |
| MinceR | indeed | Jul 06 23:24 |
| DaemonFC | It is ME, I am a naughty money who touched my phone inappropriately! | Jul 06 23:25 |
| DaemonFC | I shorted it out, it was MEEEEEEE!!! | Jul 06 23:25 |
| DaemonFC | hehe | Jul 06 23:25 |
| MinceR | of course the "selling crap at ridiculously high prices" part can easily be replicated | Jul 06 23:25 |
| MinceR | but i'm certainly not hearing nearly as much grassroots(?) raving about m$ products being perfect | Jul 06 23:27 |
| schestowitz | [23:23] <DaemonFC> yet the hypePhone is a household name? | Jul 06 23:28 |
| schestowitz | Is it? | Jul 06 23:28 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Quit touching it! You infuriate the phone gods! | Jul 06 23:29 |
| DaemonFC | you call their wrath upon you! | Jul 06 23:29 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 06 23:29 |
| schestowitz | [23:25] <DaemonFC> I shorted it out, it was MEEEEEEE!!! | Jul 06 23:29 |
| schestowitz | MinceR will recall the mac crashes | Jul 06 23:29 |

| DaemonFC | "Well, ok, the daughter of Madonna isn’t quite your average 13-year-old." | Jul 06 23:30 |
| DaemonFC | Trying to get herself raped by dressing like a prostitute? | Jul 06 23:30 |
| DaemonFC | seems average to me | Jul 06 23:30 |
| DaemonFC | kids.... | Jul 06 23:30 |
| -BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[jonobacon] Listening to Annihilator's self-titled new album from the Ubuntu One Music Store. Pretty good. :-) | Jul 06 23:31 | |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: no girl that young would /try/ that | Jul 06 23:31 |
| schestowitz | That's what rapists say to defend themselves | Jul 06 23:31 |
| schestowitz | "She asked for it" | Jul 06 23:31 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, I would be an Al Bundy type dad, kind of | Jul 06 23:32 |
| DaemonFC | I'd never let my kids dress that way | Jul 06 23:32 |
| schestowitz | Girls may want attention, but not to attract perverts | Jul 06 23:32 |
| DaemonFC | AND I would mutilate anyone who tried something with them :P | Jul 06 23:32 |
| schestowitz | basically, women go out to clubs and reject some as ugly and some as who they aim for | Jul 06 23:32 |
| schestowitz | It's like a stupid rut | Jul 06 23:32 |
| schestowitz | [23:32] <DaemonFC> I'd never let my kids dress that way | Jul 06 23:33 |
| schestowitz | What kids? | Jul 06 23:33 |
| DaemonFC | the hypothetical ones | Jul 06 23:33 |
| schestowitz | You threaten cops, they won't let you adopt one | Jul 06 23:33 |
| DaemonFC | the ones who hypothetically are prematurely aging me | Jul 06 23:33 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: you MUST have kids | Jul 06 23:33 |
| DaemonFC | nyet! | Jul 06 23:34 |
| schestowitz | If not, then you're a worthles human being /sarcasm | Jul 06 23:34 |
| DaemonFC | the evil stops here! | Jul 06 23:34 |
| schestowitz | Go get a /REAL/ job | Jul 06 23:34 |
| schestowitz | If you don't make a lot of money, you are worthless ;-) | Jul 06 23:34 |
| schestowitz | Farmers are worthless.... big people in big banks who push paper around save our world | Jul 06 23:34 |
| DaemonFC | sure, make money so you can have kids and sell them into white slavery too | Jul 06 23:34 |
| DaemonFC | no thanks | Jul 06 23:34 |
| schestowitz | :-) | Jul 06 23:34 |
| schestowitz | Apple has a new campaign | Jul 06 23:35 |
| schestowitz | Not "plant a tree" | Jul 06 23:35 |
| schestowitz | "Adopt a Foxconn employee" | Jul 06 23:35 |
| DaemonFC | We're eco-friendly, this line of phones was made up entirely of recycled slaves who rebelled against us | Jul 06 23:35 |
| schestowitz | For just $29.99/month you can adopt a cogwheel named Lee | Jul 06 23:35 |
| DaemonFC | muahahahahaaaaa!!!! | Jul 06 23:35 |
| schestowitz | They'll send you photos of him/her every month | Jul 06 23:35 |
| schestowitz | Showing how Lee makes you the next defective hypePhone | Jul 06 23:36 |
| DaemonFC | Soylent hypePhone | Jul 06 23:36 |
| schestowitz | On the cover there are photos of Lee being whipped for making a dodgy antenna thingie | Jul 06 23:36 |
| schestowitz | For the BSM crowd | Jul 06 23:36 |
| schestowitz | They like Apple | Jul 06 23:36 |
| schestowitz | Cults think alike | Jul 06 23:36 |
| schestowitz | My post about IEEE got about 30 mentioned in Twitter | Jul 06 23:38 |
| schestowitz | *mentions | Jul 06 23:38 |
| schestowitz | Bad PR for the IEEE | Jul 06 23:38 |
| schestowitz | They won't increase their membership with their swpats stance | Jul 06 23:38 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Soylent hypePhone is people you have to hold a certain way! | Jul 06 23:38 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 06 23:38 |
| DaemonFC | I wonder if I could manage to make an Uncyclopedia page about the Soylent hypePhone | Jul 06 23:40 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz? | Jul 06 23:40 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Virtual XP Mode is basically there to act as a piece of crippleware that sells copies of VMWare | Jul 06 23:42 |
| DaemonFC | that's my opinion | Jul 06 23:42 |
| DaemonFC | you notice that if you pop it into VMWare you can actually use things like hardware accelerated DirectX? | Jul 06 23:43 |
| DaemonFC | but in return, VMWare enforces the Windows 7 Professional requirement to use the VHD | Jul 06 23:44 |
| DaemonFC | back scratching | Jul 06 23:44 |
| MinceR | vmware is a competitor to some m$ products | Jul 06 23:45 |
| MinceR | virtual pc and some shit like that | Jul 06 23:45 |
| DaemonFC | Obviously there's a back alley agreement to not compete with each other and to divert customers to each other's more expensive products | Jul 06 23:45 |
| MinceR | in return, vmware itself is crap | Jul 06 23:45 |
| DaemonFC | Virtual PC is not a competitor to VMWare | Jul 06 23:45 |
| DaemonFC | nothing that limits your video to a 4 MB Framebuffer is a VMWare competitor | Jul 06 23:46 |
| MinceR | they have other randomly named products such as hyper-v | Jul 06 23:46 |
| DaemonFC | Virtual PC is to VMWare like Notepad.exe is to MS Office | Jul 06 23:46 |
| MinceR | but you're the mvp, you ought to know | Jul 06 23:46 |
| DaemonFC | yeah, but Hyper-V doesn't run on Windows 7 Professional | Jul 06 23:47 |
| MinceR | ir crawls? | Jul 06 23:47 |
| MinceR | s/ir/it/ | Jul 06 23:47 |
| DaemonFC | Hyper-V only supports Windows Server as the host | Jul 06 23:48 |
| DaemonFC | so nobody using Windows as a desktop has access to Hyper-V | Jul 06 23:48 |
| MinceR | that's another thing m$ wants you to buy | Jul 06 23:48 |
| MinceR | no surprise there | Jul 06 23:48 |
| MinceR | some levels of vmware failure require running as the os | Jul 06 23:48 |
| DaemonFC | Greg Kroah-Hartman is obviously pissed | Jul 06 23:49 |
| MinceR | (but for that you get nice features like getting thrown out of the vmware console every 5 minutes) | Jul 06 23:50 |
| DaemonFC | with regards to the Hyper-V drivers that Microsoft only comes back and does something with to satisfy the -staging requirements | Jul 06 23:50 |
| DaemonFC | You mean loading VMWare as the OS and it proceeds to load the actual OS in a hypervisor | Jul 06 23:51 |
| DaemonFC | yeah, sounds good in theory | Jul 06 23:51 |
| DaemonFC | but you know that's going to be painful and full of bugs | Jul 06 23:52 |
| DaemonFC | "hv - Microsoft Hyper V drivers. The developers again seem to have disappeared, this is getting old. Slated for removal in 2.6.35" | Jul 06 23:53 |
| DaemonFC | hehe | Jul 06 23:53 |
| MinceR | of course workstations aren't left out of vmware fun either | Jul 06 23:53 |
| MinceR | great stuff like randomly ceasing to function on kernel upgrades | Jul 06 23:53 |
| MinceR | just the thing your business needs | Jul 06 23:53 |
| MinceR | i wonder how many staging cycles can m$ do with hv before they're told to piss off permanently | Jul 06 23:54 |
| MinceR | obviously paying gregkh increases their chances, but how much? | Jul 06 23:55 |
| DaemonFC | he's in a bizarre situation | Jul 06 23:55 |
| -BNi/#boycottnovell-[diablod3/@diablod3] Representatives Mike Michaud and Chellie Pingree of Maine voted against HR1207 Audit The Fed Bill http://ur1.ca/0hxfd #pdf | Jul 06 23:55 | |
| DaemonFC | he can't merge defective drivers but he can't leave broken drivers in staging forever | Jul 06 23:55 |
| DaemonFC | and Microsoft is keeping the drivers in limbo | Jul 06 23:56 |
| DaemonFC | because they really don't want to support Linux but have to make it appear that you have options there | Jul 06 23:56 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 06 23:56 |
| MinceR | that's easy to solve | Jul 06 23:56 |
| MinceR | 1) remove the drivers | Jul 06 23:56 |
| MinceR | 2) tell m$ to fuck off, permanently | Jul 06 23:56 |
| MinceR | 3) ??? | Jul 06 23:56 |
| MinceR | 4) Profit! | Jul 06 23:56 |
