sebsebsebcubezzz: my parants are majorly locked into Windows, but my brothers use Ubuntu, and they don't know computers well, but my younger brother is still rather young so yeahJul 07 00:45
sebsebsebI have thought about  switching to another distro on there instead, but I keep on giving Ubuntu changes, even through releases since 9.04, have all let me down in some way or the otherJul 07 00:46
sebsebsebchances not changes, well for that computerJul 07 00:46
sebsebsebfor mine nope :)Jul 07 00:46
cubezzzno one is really "locked" on windowsJul 07 00:46

cubezzzok, windows is just getting popularJul 07 00:47
cubezzzbefore that... dosJul 07 00:47
cubezzznow clearly windows just gradually came into popularity over timeJul 07 00:48
cubezzzover time, it can just as easily go awayJul 07 00:48
cubezzzbut certainly no one has to use windows, there are many choices nowJul 07 00:49

TechrightsBotTitle:  nativeclient -  Project Hosting on Google Code .::. Size~: 18.79 KBJul 07 02:45
sebsebseboiaohm: ohJul 07 02:45
oiaohmWhat about CPU flaws.  Google not thinking about that.Jul 07 02:46
oiaohmnativeclient could open up doors that google cannot stop.Jul 07 02:46
oiaohmBasically banks backing away from chrome I see nothing wrong with if it backed by correct assessment information.Jul 07 02:47
oiaohmMaybe it a little over careful but hey its money.   Lot of banks block access from IE if you have active X enabled.Jul 07 02:48
oiaohmDue to the native code risk.Jul 07 02:48
sebsebseboiaohm: oh theres a long video about itJul 07 02:48
oiaohmNativecode is good from a performance point of view.Jul 07 02:49
sebsebseboiaohm: oh so whatever it is is like Activex?Jul 07 02:49
sebsebsebanyway people can change their user agent string and gain access to the website?Jul 07 02:49
oiaohmActive X with proper secuirty around it.Jul 07 02:49
oiaohmOld active X was basically get in and do what ever no secuirty stoping you.Jul 07 02:50
sebsebseboiaohm: they can try and block this and that browser, but their will be ways round the block, I guessJul 07 02:50
oiaohmSimple one with active x and nacl is include them on the page.Jul 07 02:50
oiaohmIf  they run kill link.Jul 07 02:51
oiaohmSystem being used is not secure.Jul 07 02:51
sebsebsebohJul 07 02:51
oiaohmAs you can hear I have nothing against banks banning chrome until nativecode is proven safe or google clearly states it will be disabled by default when they include it.Jul 07 02:53
sebsebseboiaohm: well I don't like Chrome/Chromeium much anyway, plus I don't do online banking, so doesn't effect me :DJul 07 02:53
sebsebsebas for a security point of viewJul 07 02:53
oiaohmKey thing is they did not target firefox.Jul 07 02:53
sebsebsebindeed @ what you just typedJul 07 02:53
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] Right, time for bed I think.....Nite all.Jul 07 02:54
sebsebseboiaohm: that article didn't provide a proper reason that Chrome is blocked though, or a link to one?Jul 07 02:54
oiaohmFirefox is not the most secure thing.Jul 07 02:54
sebsebsebas to why it isJul 07 02:54
sebsebsebblockedJul 07 02:54
sebsebseboiaohm: also yeah Firefox gets a lot of security updatesJul 07 02:54
oiaohmBut it is intergrating security designs as they are tested.Jul 07 02:54
oiaohmBanks are not going to give attackers ideas sebsebsebJul 07 02:55
oiaohmSo will just ban without telling you fully why.Jul 07 02:55
sebsebsebwell need the reason for why website is blocked for a browser reallyJul 07 02:56

oiaohmAlso sebsebseb both chrome and opera have bundled flash.Jul 07 03:01
oiaohmThe list of issues with both opera and chrome actions is long.  sebsebsebJul 07 03:01
sebsebseboiaohm: what for bundling Flash in?Jul 07 03:01
oiaohmThe installers.Jul 07 03:01
sebsebseboh Opera has Flash bundled in as well?Jul 07 03:01
oiaohmAfter secuirty issues Opera removed it.Jul 07 03:02
sebsebsebissues with the nstallers of the browsers?Jul 07 03:02
oiaohmChrome still is going ahead with including it.Jul 07 03:02
oiaohmIe secuirty careless bundling.  sebsebsebJul 07 03:03
oiaohmHopefully chrome developers take the wake up call.  Hang on secuirty first not second third and forth.Jul 07 03:04
oiaohmPeople with security backgrounds like me see nothing wrong with what the bank did.  Ok IE6 is not great but you know what evil you are dealing with.Jul 07 03:07
sebsebseboiaohm: know what evil dealing with?Jul 07 03:09
sebsebsebsince its old?Jul 07 03:09

oiaohmBanks have a cure to IE6Jul 07 03:10
oiaohmLoad a active X to process instead.Jul 07 03:11
oiaohmSo IE6 defects really don't come into there processing system.Jul 07 03:11
sebsebseboiaohm: uhmm whats that?Jul 07 03:12
oiaohmLot of banks sites detect ie6Jul 07 03:12
oiaohmRespond with here is an active X control you must use to enter.Jul 07 03:12
sebsebsebfor added security?Jul 07 03:12
oiaohmThat active X control basically is the bank interface.Jul 07 03:13
oiaohmSo the rest of IE 6 is basically nothing more than decoration.Jul 07 03:13
sebsebsebohJul 07 03:13
oiaohmIe the banks are not really using IE6 even that the users think they are.Jul 07 03:13
oiaohmRemember the chrome active x for IE that allowed chromes browser engine to be used instead of the IE one.Jul 07 03:14
oiaohmLot of banks have taken that onboard.Jul 07 03:14
oiaohmAnd made own.Jul 07 03:14
oiaohmLot of people are making lot of stupid mistakes.  Just because banks are letting IE6 to the door does not mean the users are using it once they are inside the bank site.Jul 07 03:16
sebsebsebohJul 07 03:17
sebsebseband no don't know could use Webkit in IEJul 07 03:17
sebsebseb6Jul 07 03:17
sebsebsebdidn't knowJul 07 03:18
sebsebseboiaohm: anyway I am about to go away from the computerJul 07 03:19
oiaohmThat is the problem.  People are commenting without understanding the full picture.Jul 07 03:19
oiaohmYou argree full picture makes it look way different sebsebsebJul 07 03:19
sebsebseboiaohm: what by saying banks are bad for allowing IE 6? or?Jul 07 03:19
oiaohmReally its a no op sebsebsebJul 07 03:19
oiaohmIf they are using active x patch.Jul 07 03:19
sebsebseba no what?Jul 07 03:20
oiaohmno operation.Jul 07 03:20
oiaohmmeaning not good not bad.Jul 07 03:20
sebsebsebwell loads of people have said for years that Activex is bad, a security risk and suchJul 07 03:20
oiaohmActive X is a double sided sword.Jul 07 03:20
sebsebsebmeaning bad?Jul 07 03:21
oiaohmBad for secuirty also can be used to patching secuiry flaws.Jul 07 03:21
sebsebseboiaohm: Which is what the banks are doing?Jul 07 03:21
oiaohmYep banks are using active x to patch.Jul 07 03:21
oiaohmIf people are going to turn up with crappy browsers and they will not move off all you can do is patch.Jul 07 03:22
sebsebseboiaohm: or basically to get round all those IE 6 security issues?Jul 07 03:22
oiaohmYepJul 07 03:22
oiaohmOf cource if you take IE6 to a non bank site you ass is still toast.Jul 07 03:22
sebsebsebso all the rest of IE 6 just becomes a shell?  is what you were saying,  since the only part of IE 6 that is really being used for the bank is their activex control?Jul 07 03:22
oiaohmYepJul 07 03:23
sebsebseboiaohm: ok patching for banksJul 07 03:23
sebsebseb,but  not company intranetsJul 07 03:23
sebsebsebthose are still made for IE 6 and its bad rendering engineJul 07 03:23
sebsebseboiaohm: also still quite a lot of sites work quite well in IE 6 I guessJul 07 03:23
oiaohmLess every day.Jul 07 03:24
oiaohmThank god.Jul 07 03:24
sebsebsebaltough Google no longer supports it,  if  I remember correctlyJul 07 03:24
oiaohmMore and more sites no longer support IE6Jul 07 03:24
oiaohmSome sites are even stoping suppoting IE 7Jul 07 03:24
sebsebsebyeah IE 6 horrible rendering enginge, but  its GUI is better than IE 7 and IE 8, but yeah no tabs, altough there is/was a MSN toolbar add on for tabs or whateverJul 07 03:24
oiaohmAnd demarding IE8Jul 07 03:24
sebsebsebwell there are adverts on the TV here for IE8Jul 07 03:24
sebsebsebwhich I am not so keen onJul 07 03:25
oiaohmIE8 is closer to standards.Jul 07 03:25
sebsebseb,but  thats one way to get computer ignorants to upgrade their browser, I suppouseJul 07 03:25
sebsebsebapparnatly IE9 will be rather standards complaintJul 07 03:25
oiaohmAnd web developers are becoming more and more standard beasts.Jul 07 03:25
oiaohmIe if it not standard they will not do it.Jul 07 03:25
sebsebsebstill a lot of sitse out their made with Frontpage though :(Jul 07 03:25
oiaohmReducing numbers.Jul 07 03:26
sebsebsebif not standard they will not do it?Jul 07 03:26
oiaohmFrontpage has a nasty bug.Jul 07 03:26
sebsebseba site I made in 2004/5Jul 07 03:26
sebsebsebhand codedJul 07 03:26
sebsebsebnice codeJul 07 03:26
oiaohmMore and more are done in sharepoint.Jul 07 03:26
sebsebsebdesign was pretty rubbish really thoughJul 07 03:26
oiaohmNot Frontpage.Jul 07 03:26
sebsebseb,but the guy only wanted a basic siteJul 07 03:26
oiaohmFrontpage has a habit to displaying you typos to customer.Jul 07 03:26
sebsebseband never complaiend, and I got paid and updated like once or twice after that, anyway towards the end of last year annoyinglyJul 07 03:26
sebsebsebit got replaced with  a Frontpage site with bad code, but a better designJul 07 03:27
sebsebseband he had even emailed me, asking if I knew how to get into the webhost, but hadn't seen that untill like a month later, when it had already been replacedJul 07 03:27
sebsebsebwell thats a joke, to have a hand coded site,  that was nice and standards complaint,  being replaced with a badly coded Frontpage sitesJul 07 03:27
sebsebseb,but I guess thats what will happen at times,  when making for non technical people,  who don't know about websitesJul 07 03:28
sebsebsebif the design wasn't good enoughJul 07 03:28
oiaohmYou are seeing more and more sites done in drupal these days.Jul 07 03:28
oiaohmOpen source standard following stuff is becoming dominate sebsebsebJul 07 03:29
sebsebseboiaohm: at first I was pretty annoyed, and thought about emailing  the guy and even saying about web standards, but nah I didn't,  gotton over it now though.  was nice to see the website statistics at times.  got to sort the stats out on another site I helped a woman make again really, so can see them :)  change webhost first even I guess since where its currently hostedJul 07 03:29
sebsebseboiaohm: yeah, but for basic sites, that someone has paid for,  the person that wants the site, won't normally know about web standardsJul 07 03:29
sebsebsebhence why I lost the one I made I suppouseJul 07 03:30
oiaohmThey learn.Jul 07 03:30
oiaohmWhen customers complain.Jul 07 03:30
sebsebseboiaohm: maybe I should email back and say about bad code or something,  or not,  I mean before I thought about emailng back saying about the bad code, and how I could make it standards complaintJul 07 03:30
sebsebsebcustomers don't know thoughJul 07 03:30
sebsebsebif the site works well in their browsersJul 07 03:30
sebsebseband they don't know about codeJul 07 03:30
oiaohmSooner or latter it don't.Jul 07 03:30
oiaohmIe not on there phone or something.Jul 07 03:31
sebsebseboiaohm: email this guy or not?  I guess notJul 07 03:31
sebsebsebhowever in a way, I hope it brakes soon, because of more standards complaint browsers :)Jul 07 03:31
oiaohmYou can but I normally look at the site and do a better more functional design.Jul 07 03:31
sebsebseboiaohm: thats something else, I could re design it for fun,  send him screenshots, and  see if he likes itJul 07 03:32
oiaohmBecause that he went to someone else you failed.Jul 07 03:32

MinceRwell, in doze things are melted together into one monolithic mess much of which runs in kernel modeJul 07 23:36
MinceRso you don't get multitasking without GUI, afaikJul 07 23:36
MinceR(unlike OS/2, for example)Jul 07 23:36
schestowitz[23:24] <tessier> That is not a very effective way of advocating anything non-MS though.Jul 07 23:36
cubezzzof course, the Linux/Unix way is betterJul 07 23:36
cubezzzit just takes some people a long time to realize itJul 07 23:37
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] @schestowitz I was going to say...what passed for talent to be lost on the #bbc (with the exception of Doctor Who actors/actressesJul 07 23:37
schestowitzThere are people who abandon Microsoft/Windows and move to PHP/Java and those who try to bring Microsoft with them, e.g. Mono/MindTouchJul 07 23:37
MinceRi didn't expect you to admit that unixes are better than amigaos :>Jul 07 23:37
cubezzzwell...Jul 07 23:37
cubezzzI gave AROS a chanceJul 07 23:37
schestowitzWhat we need to do, IMHO, is to promote them to embrace standard stuffJul 07 23:37
MinceRschestowitz: but how?Jul 07 23:38
schestowitzIt's possibleJul 07 23:38
MinceRthe most pragmatic reason is that it won't require winblows -- they don't careJul 07 23:38
schestowitzSome do this, some don'tJul 07 23:38
schestowitzTake Keith Curtis for exampleJul 07 23:38
schestowitzHe left MicrosoftJul 07 23:38
MinceRanother important reason is that they won't be vassals of m$ -- they don't careJul 07 23:38
schestowitzAdvocates some FOSS, then pitched MonoJul 07 23:38
cubezzzMinceR, the big prob I had with AROS was driversJul 07 23:38
schestowitzHe sent me some upset E-mails I didn't reply toJul 07 23:39
cubezzzI like to try different OSes Jul 07 23:39
MinceRso do iJul 07 23:39
MinceRwhen i have timeJul 07 23:39
MinceRwhich is very rare :>Jul 07 23:39
MinceRalso, i prefer to read up on those other oses before considering to try themJul 07 23:40
cubezzzis that what you did with Linux? :)Jul 07 23:40
MinceRyesJul 07 23:40
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] @_goblin there is an option in identica for sending all input to twitter too. This way you only need to post in identica.Jul 07 23:41

cubezzzknowing what I know _now_, I wish I had stayed with Linux all the way back to 1994Jul 07 23:53
DaemonFCcubezzz, What's funny about GCC is that it can fail in all kinds of perverted ways and nobody listens to your screams Jul 07 23:54
cubezzzyou want to compile old stuff you need old gccJul 07 23:54
cubezzzand old libsJul 07 23:54
DaemonFCthat makes no senseJul 07 23:54
cubezzzas long as you are willing to do that and you have source it's no big dealJul 07 23:55
DaemonFCwhy can old MSVC project files still mostly work?Jul 07 23:55
*jono has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)Jul 07 23:55
cubezzzwell I'm talking about big stuffJul 07 23:55
DaemonFCdouble click on a project file, it spits out a binary, hoorayJul 07 23:56
cubezzzsmall stuff you write yourself is another storyJul 07 23:56
DaemonFCwith gcc it can choke and spit out an error that you won't understandJul 07 23:56
MinceRpersonally i hated all versions of windowsJul 07 23:56
DaemonFCsometimes it's even something so stupid that commenting out a line or two makes it runJul 07 23:56
cubezzzDaemonFC, you just don't get it Jul 07 23:56
MinceRusually because they were always incredibly slow, bug-ridden and unstableJul 07 23:56
cubezzzdo you realize how important gcc is?Jul 07 23:57
DaemonFCVisual Studio works around that stuff normally without making a pest out of itselfJul 07 23:57
*jono (~jono@ubuntu/member/jono) has joined #boycottnovellJul 07 23:57
MinceR005102 < DaemonFC> why can old MSVC project files still mostly work?Jul 07 23:57
MinceR"mostly" isn't going to compile your old applicationsJul 07 23:57
MinceRit's going to crash and burnJul 07 23:57

cubezzzDaemonFC, sometimes I wonder why you're hereJul 07 23:58
DaemonFCYou're lucky if you can make GCC 4.5 work with something that finished fine with GCC 4.4Jul 07 23:58
cubezzzwell written C programs written for X from 1984 still work on modern gccJul 07 23:59
DaemonFCor what's better is when it successfully finishes then you fire up the binary and it's been corrupted by GCCJul 07 23:59
DaemonFCand GCC didn't even realize itJul 07 23:59
