schestowitzI don't have to debunk Groklie because there wasn't any particular claim, just a suggestion to ask a question and I answered it my way. I didn't see Groklie provide anything of substance that would have to be dealt with.Aug 25 14:55
schestowitz Aug 25 14:55
schestowitzNow the off-the-record part: I was really very disappointed that you always want to arrive at a strict black-and-white view of people. This results in grossly illogical things such as you quoting a ZDNet on Microsoft financials while blaming me for quoting from a ZDNet story on the Spanair crash. That's the kind of thing that is so illogical that I've given up hope that it's possible to have reasonable discussions of theAug 25 14:55
schestowitzissues with you, no matter how hard I try (and I did try).Aug 25 14:55
schestowitz Aug 25 14:55
schestowitzI was flexible enough to accept that you aren't satisfied with the way I answer the Groklie question. I steered clear for a long time of belittling you with that Twitter hashtag etc. But it was you who didn't want to differentiate. The fact of the matter is that there are a number of issues on which we do agree, and a number on which we disagree, and your insistence on me departing from my consistent policy concerning thatAug 25 14:55
schestowitzkind of question is unrelated to any of the issues.Aug 25 14:55
schestowitz Aug 25 14:55
schestowitzFor one of many possible examples, I think that your take on the OIN doesn't accurately take into account and reflect my criticsm of it. Your position is that any such initiative contributes to patent proliferation. That's also a concern of mine, but I would actually accept that downside if I could see a clear upside. Other than OIN's own highly unspecific propaganda (the victories they claim over Microsoft) and GroklieAug 25 14:55
schestowitzparroting them, there really isn't any serious indication that OIN serves its purposes. I don't see that it has affected Microsoft's calculus concerning patent licensing in any way, so I believe the question is appropriate what the OIN really is about. Apparently it's not about protecting FOSS as the Oracle-Google case shows. So what do the six owner companies want? Why is Apache part of their "Linux System" but Dalvik is notAug 25 14:55
schestowitz You do promote Android as a GNU/Linux distro, and that makes sense. Then Dalvik is an essential part of a strategically important Linux distro (while Apache is a cross-platform thing, available for Windows, too).Aug 25 14:55
schestowitz Aug 25 14:55
schestowitzI think that as long as all you want is bash me even in such unreasonable ways as the ZDNet context there's no way we can have a constructive dialog on Twitter or elsewhere. On your site, there's really a technical problem, at least with Chrome, because sometimes my postings don't get published although I don't get an error message. That's another reason for which I stopped having any discussion there.Aug 25 14:55
schestowitz Aug 25 14:55
schestowitzIf you believe you have to support Groklie all the way, you can do so, but then people might as well go to the original Groklie site.Aug 25 14:56

schestowitzBut My brother uses Eclipse with itAug 25 15:08
schestowitz"It might have been due to URLs but it happened several times and I don't think there were URLs included in all of those cases -- but not sure. I also did have technical problems with login: I logged in via the WordPress form but then on the page didn't get those "Reply" icons."Aug 25 15:13
oiaohmDalvik is only shipped in android.Aug 25 15:18
