ThistleWebboth sides in the US know that they'll always be both sides, both are corrupt and established enough that the money will flow regardless of who's in govt, and it's an easy predictable game of polar opposites to play in the media to hoodwink them, a maverick allows people to hope there's an alternative from the other 2Aug 21 13:44

oiaohm_If you stick the sticker on you are the system builder.Aug 21 14:17
cubevectorI've never even seen a system builder contractAug 21 14:17
oiaohm_So if the machine dies you have the right to transfer the licence between machines.Aug 21 14:17

cubevectorI usually take the stickers off :)Aug 21 14:18

oiaohm_There is a catch of course.Aug 21 14:20

oiaohm_Yes any white box system builder can do it with any sticker they stick on.Aug 21 14:21
cubevectorthat's good to knowAug 21 14:21

oiaohm_You are required as a system builder if you install the OS to stick the sticker on.Aug 21 14:23
oiaohm_Ie install windowsAug 21 14:23
cubevectorbut what if it's dual-boot? :)Aug 21 14:23
oiaohm_Even installing windows inside a virtual machine for client you must stick the sticker on.Aug 21 14:24
cubevectorwhat if I'm not installing windows? you knew that was coming ;-)Aug 21 14:25
cubevectorI do have linux customersAug 21 14:25

DaemonFCVorbis is only superficially similar to MP3Aug 21 17:45

DaemonFCit's interesting that there's actually a "bounty" attached to bitrate peeling on Ogg VorbisAug 21 17:54
DaemonFCwhich one of the catches to claim the bounty says you have to implement it within the Vorbis I specificationAug 21 17:55
DaemonFCbut the specification doesn't provide any room to implement itAug 21 17:55
DaemonFCYou could probably create an empty frame that normal Vorbis decoders will ignore that contains information about the importance of the data in the next several framesAug 21 17:56

_GoblinDaemonFC: if it works well for the end-user, provides what they want I can't see the problem.Aug 21 19:35
_GoblinDaemonFC: and as I say its the only distro I will recommend to others and it has never let me down.Aug 21 19:35
DaemonFCHow is downgrading to Ubuntu solving a problem?Aug 21 19:35
DaemonFCeven Windows can use my bluetoothAug 21 19:35
_GoblinDaemonFC: well, Ive yet to meet someone who is desperate for bluetooth.Aug 21 19:36
DaemonFCUbuntu is a downgrade because it breaks that and many other things, even when they work fine on other Linux distrosAug 21 19:36
_GoblinDaemonFC: and as I say, I found Ubuntu worked better with other products.Aug 21 19:36
DaemonFCusability is defined by how many features you can remove and replace by idiot buttonsAug 21 19:36
_Goblinbut by denying Ubuntu respect, you deny users choice.Aug 21 19:37
DaemonFCto some extent the entire software industry is moving that directionAug 21 19:37
_Goblinjust because you don't like it.Aug 21 19:37
DaemonFCit's a race to the bottomAug 21 19:37
DaemonFCUbuntu is winning thoughAug 21 19:37
_Goblinthat to me sounds very much like a MS advocate point of view...Aug 21 19:37

kevin009yepAug 21 19:48
DaemonFCsubjective, but that's where I see itAug 21 19:48
DaemonFCthose satellite radio services use 128 kbps HE-AACAug 21 19:48
DaemonFCI usually rip to q6 Vorbis using AoTuvAug 21 19:49
DaemonFCgives me one collection to manage that works well everywhere :)Aug 21 19:49
kevin009i used q6 but then went to q5Aug 21 19:49
kevin009can't tell a differencAug 21 19:50
kevin009eAug 21 19:50
DaemonFCq5 is OKAug 21 19:50
DaemonFCI noticed that is smears things like cymbals and drums sometimesAug 21 19:50
DaemonFCsimilar to other codecs around that average bitrate rangeAug 21 19:51
DaemonFCq6 is fairly safeAug 21 19:51
DaemonFCbut most people don't have nice expensive speakers or great hearingAug 21 19:51
DaemonFCif you're using the pack in speakers that came with your PC, any bitrate will sound "just like the CD" ;)Aug 21 19:52
DaemonFChearing never gets better with ageAug 21 19:52
DaemonFC128k MP3 probably does sound just like the CD with pack-in speakers, to a 40 year oldAug 21 19:52
kevin009i always hated the ringing/metallic sounding highs in mp3Aug 21 19:52
kevin009but the encoders have gotten better over the decade Aug 21 19:53
DaemonFC~192k seems to be the magic number for meAug 21 19:53
DaemonFCwith any codecAug 21 19:53
DaemonFCthough I think Vorbis sounds a bit better than the others in that rangeAug 21 19:53
kevin009and wma is just painful at anything less than 64 :)Aug 21 19:54
DaemonFCCrapple sells those damned hypepods with no MicroSD slotAug 21 19:54

kevin009so i just buy used CDs for <half price rather than buy music onlineAug 21 19:56
DaemonFCactually, Nero's AAC encoder can go up to an ABR of ~400 kbps AACAug 21 19:56
DaemonFC:DAug 21 19:56
DaemonFCand Vorbis q10 is around 500 kbpsAug 21 19:56
DaemonFCbut at those bitrates, there's questionable benefit vs FLACAug 21 19:56
DaemonFCthe whole point of lossy is that you can store lots of files using itAug 21 19:56
kevin009it is just future proof Aug 21 19:56
kevin00915 years later you can transcode and not have any extra lossAug 21 19:57
DaemonFCThere's no such thing as a future proof lossy codec reallyAug 21 19:57
DaemonFCeven the encoders for the same format improve over timeAug 21 19:57
DaemonFC:)Aug 21 19:57
kevin009but if it is flac you can decode and re-encode it with no penaltyAug 21 19:57
DaemonFCrightAug 21 19:58
kevin009it is great for storing sound you plan to editAug 21 19:58
DaemonFCbecause it is losslessAug 21 19:58
DaemonFCMicrosoft and Apple have their own lossless formatsAug 21 19:58
*Judas_PhD (~kevin@misterfluffy.dsl.xmission.com) has joined #boycottnovellAug 21 19:58
DaemonFCbut they always end up with bigger files than FLAC :)Aug 21 19:58
DaemonFCand the format is undocumentedAug 21 19:58
kevin009yeah, any lossless format would be fineAug 21 19:58
DaemonFCthere's WAVPACKAug 21 19:59
DaemonFCit has a hybrid modeAug 21 19:59
DaemonFCI think that's where the idea for MP3HD came fromAug 21 19:59
DaemonFCa non-standard hybrid lossy/lossless MP3 formatAug 21 19:59
kevin009there was one codec where you get a lossy file and the rest of the data, which you can combine together later to make the originalAug 21 19:59
DaemonFCright, WavpackAug 21 19:59
DaemonFCthe lossless part is a correction fileAug 21 20:00
kevin009but i've gotten into s3m/mod/xm files over the past yearAug 21 20:00

gnufreex[21:13:03] <DaemonFC> the lack of a credible open source AAC encoder has basically lead to more widespread industry abuse of the formatAug 21 20:21
gnufreexHows that?Aug 21 20:21
gnufreexYou mean, it would be used less if there was open source encoderAug 21 20:22
gnufreex?Aug 21 20:22
DaemonFCgnufreex: Already said, because now you have to buy an encoder license too if you want to support the formatAug 21 20:22
DaemonFCthe industry has tighter control over AAC than they do over MP3Aug 21 20:22
DaemonFCno, that's not what I meanAug 21 20:22
DaemonFCI mean people are going to use it and it would be better if there was an open source encoder floating aroundAug 21 20:23
DaemonFClike LAMEAug 21 20:23
gnufreexWell, this way it shows how propriatary AAC isAug 21 20:23
DaemonFCyeah, but people don't careAug 21 20:24
DaemonFCthey'll just grab Nero which is free for now, if you only use it as a toyAug 21 20:24
DaemonFCor install iTunesAug 21 20:24
gnufreexAnd completely free alternative should have easier pass. But f-king MPEG LA claims it owns all, so that bet is off. Aug 21 20:24
DaemonFCwell, it's actually possible to use MP3 without paying anyone moneyAug 21 20:25
DaemonFCor depending on a company to provide you with encoder softwareAug 21 20:25
DaemonFCso an open source AAC encoder would probably hurt the companies behind AACAug 21 20:25
gnufreexWell that is not FreeSoftware (tm) so it doesn't coutnAug 21 20:25
DaemonFC:)Aug 21 20:25
DaemonFCLAME is free softwareAug 21 20:25
DaemonFCso is mpg123Aug 21 20:25
DaemonFClots of players use mpg123 as a backendAug 21 20:26
gnufreexYes it is, but is illegal to redistribute if you don't sellout to MPEG LA.Aug 21 20:26
DaemonFCit's kind of like this, the industry controls the hardware that's on the shelvesAug 21 20:26
gnufreexThere must be some agreement with MPEG LAAug 21 20:26
DaemonFCand what formats it will playAug 21 20:26
gnufreexTo redistribute it.Aug 21 20:26
DaemonFCalso paying them for their encoder helps themAug 21 20:26
DaemonFCso by not having an open source encoder, you're giving them that much more power over the users of AACAug 21 20:27

*Judas_PhD has quit (Quit: Aaarrrggghhh!!!)Aug 21 20:30
gnufreexAre we sure if there is not submarine patents in FLAC?Aug 21 20:31
DaemonFCif there is, then it goes back far enough to be invalidAug 21 20:31
DaemonFC:)Aug 21 20:31
DaemonFCbecause that algorithm has been in use for decadesAug 21 20:31
gnufreexkewl. Eat crap, MPEG LA!!Aug 21 20:32
DaemonFCVorbis is far more likely to violate some random patent out there than FLAC isAug 21 20:32
gnufreexI knowAug 21 20:32
gnufreexJust making sure'Aug 21 20:32
DaemonFCthe industry is losing their grip on the MP3 formatAug 21 20:33
DaemonFCmainly because they don't tightly control the codec softwareAug 21 20:33
DaemonFCbut also because the patents have been expiring over the yearsAug 21 20:34
DaemonFCthat's what gives with the push to AAC, they're trying to get everyone using another patent treadmill before their control of MP3 evaporates entirelyAug 21 20:34
gnufreexVorbis and FLAC are only competitors to AAC?Aug 21 20:35
gnufreexI mean free onesAug 21 20:35
DaemonFCVorbis is mainly an AAC competitorAug 21 20:35
DaemonFCon technical merits anywayAug 21 20:35
DaemonFCit's technically superior to MP3, and the bitstream is roughly as good as AAC'sAug 21 20:36
DaemonFCbut Vorbis has better encoders that exploit the features of the format more throoughlyAug 21 20:36
DaemonFCso you're much more likely to get good results at lower bitrates with Vorbis than with any other lossy format out thereAug 21 20:37
gnufreexI think Vorbis should be patented and patents put into defensive anti-MPEG-LA patent poolAug 21 20:37
gnufreexAnd then licensed royalty freeAug 21 20:37
DaemonFCI doubt itAug 21 20:37
gnufreexTo everyone who don't have anything to do with MPEG-LAAug 21 20:37
DaemonFCif they went to seek patents now it would just be ammunition for the Crapple CultistsAug 21 20:37
DaemonFC"Look, they had this planned all along! They're gonna sue you!"Aug 21 20:38
DaemonFCbesides, they've already given an irrevocable patent license to everyone anywayAug 21 20:38
DaemonFCby placing it in the public domainAug 21 20:38
gnufreexAha, right.Aug 21 20:38

DaemonFCthere's no danger of Xiph.org ever turning maliciousAug 21 20:39
DaemonFCthe danger would be a patent lawsuit from MPEG-LAAug 21 20:39
DaemonFCbut that's highly questionableAug 21 20:40
DaemonFCa lot of the patents they hold on MP3 and AAC are overly broad, and likely have prior artAug 21 20:40
DaemonFCeven if they did launch a lawsuit, there's a good chance they'd not only lose, but end up having any patents they based the lawsuit on declared invalidAug 21 20:40
gnufreexBut AppleHeads can't say that (you said they will say) because it is posilbe to make GPL-compatible patent grant that excluders MPEG-LA. MPEG LA doesn't touch GPL, so they are outside of GPL patent grant.Aug 21 20:41
DaemonFCthen they'd have fewer bargaining chips when it came time to license those formats outAug 21 20:41
DaemonFC:)Aug 21 20:41
DaemonFCno, it's notAug 21 20:41

gnufreexGCC is not part of windows, there is not GPL code in Windows. If it is, show me where microsoft hosts source code.Aug 21 12:43
DaemonFCit's not available to you unless you have Windows Vista/7 Ultimate Edition or Enterprise Edition, or 2008/R2 ServerAug 21 12:43
gnufreexThey have to host code to fuilfill GPL obaligationAug 21 12:43
DaemonFCyeah, it's part of WindowsAug 21 12:43
DaemonFCyou install it under "Windows Features"Aug 21 12:44
DaemonFCthey do host codeAug 21 12:44
DaemonFCit's made available to everyone with a license to those Windows versions, and it's on the DVDAug 21 12:44
gnufreexThis is new. So now GCC goes GPLv3Aug 21 12:45
DaemonFCnopeAug 21 12:45
gnufreexIn fact, it is alreadyAug 21 12:45
DaemonFCthey're using GCC 3.2Aug 21 12:45
DaemonFCit's GPL 2Aug 21 12:45
gnufreexOk, scrach that. I have to verify, it is to crazy for me to beleive.Aug 21 12:45
DaemonFCthe rest of the "UNIX" utilities are all GPL 2Aug 21 12:45
gnufreexBack to MPEG LA. Aug 21 12:45
DaemonFCOK, the same thing basically happened with XFree86Aug 21 12:46
gnufreexMPEG LA doesn't distribute GPL code. Aug 21 12:46
gnufreexSo they don't get patent licenseAug 21 12:46
DaemonFCThey changed the license, but they can't retroactively change the license of the versions already distributed under the old termsAug 21 12:46

DaemonFCwell, the GPL is also copyrightedAug 21 12:47
gnufreexI know, so?Aug 21 12:47
DaemonFCif you add or remove provisions without the permission of FSF, you can no longer call it the GPLAug 21 12:47
gnufreexWho said anything about adding anything?Aug 21 12:48
gnufreexTo the GPL, that is.Aug 21 12:48
DaemonFCwell, because that would be your only way to retroactively re-license somethingAug 21 12:48
DaemonFCMicrosoft's Windows EULA says they can change the terms on you in the futureAug 21 12:48
DaemonFCso by agreeing to that, you're agreeing to a retroactive license changeAug 21 12:49
DaemonFCbut since modifying the GPL in such a way would mean it is no longer the GPL, then there's no way to slip in that clause and still say it's the GPLAug 21 12:49
DaemonFCunless you want to be sued for copyright infringement :)Aug 21 12:49
gnufreexWho said about modifying the GPL?Aug 21 12:49
gnufreexWait.Aug 21 12:50
gnufreexI will explain again better.Aug 21 12:50
DaemonFCactually, MPEG-LA does distribute LGPL and GPL 2 sotwareAug 21 12:50
DaemonFCin legal terms anywayAug 21 12:50
DaemonFC:)Aug 21 12:50
gnufreexI was saying that Vorbis can be patented. And then patent put into defensive pool. And than that pool can give broad patent grant (which is not GPL) that is GPLv3-compatible.Aug 21 12:51
DaemonFCthere are commercial projects that use LAME and pay royalties to MPEG-LA for itAug 21 12:51
DaemonFCso legally, every time they accept such royalties, they may have "distributed" the softwareAug 21 12:51
gnufreexAnd that patent grant discriminates against MPEG-LA. Aug 21 12:51
gnufreexAgainst their patents, that is.Aug 21 12:52
DaemonFCI would argue that MPEG-LA distributes GPL and LGPL 2 software whenever they accept royalties for LAMEAug 21 12:52
DaemonFCrightAug 21 12:52
gnufreexI don't think so.Aug 21 12:52
DaemonFCbecause if they distribute it, then they grant patent rights to anyone that receives itAug 21 12:53
gnufreexBut if it is so, then we need to move LAME to GPLv3Aug 21 12:53
gnufreexAnd give one royalty to MPEG LAAug 21 12:53
DaemonFCthat won't happenAug 21 12:53
gnufreexAnd all their patents are void. Aug 21 12:53
DaemonFCthere's only one person left working on LAMEAug 21 12:53
gnufreexIn fact, not void, they can still use non-GPL folks, but who careAug 21 12:53
DaemonFCthey never took copyright assignmentAug 21 12:54
DaemonFCand the other few dozen people have either moved on, can't be contacted, and a couple have probably diedAug 21 12:54
DaemonFCso it would be impossible to relicense the entire thingAug 21 12:54
gnufreexYeah, but MPEG LA is not "distributing" LAME anyways.Aug 21 12:55
gnufreexI go to eatAug 21 12:55
gnufreexbrbAug 21 12:55
DaemonFClegally, accepting royalties might be the same as distributingAug 21 12:55
DaemonFCit's iffyAug 21 12:55
DaemonFCit could be argued in court thoughAug 21 12:55
gnufreexLegaly, accepting royalties for GPL'd software is illegalAug 21 13:01

DaemonFCsometimes you wonder if anyone even actually installed and used a package or if the thing was just broken and blindly merged from whenever their Debian freeze wasAug 21 21:58
DaemonFCthat's the problem with basing things on wherever Debian Sid is at, you end up syncing with a lot of broken packagesAug 21 21:59
DaemonFCThere's just no way to avoid that when there's 25,000 packages in an untested stateAug 21 21:59
DaemonFConly it's worse because Ubuntu takes something that's in Debian's experimental branches and tells you to deploy it on a production systemAug 21 22:00
