gnufreex>"[...] told members of the FOSS community that Oracle was going to be the best home for those Sun patents that could really hurt free and open source software if Microsoft ever acquired them (although Microsoft never made a bid for Sun)."<Aug 22 21:28
gnufreexNice spin there. Those who don't know what was state of affairs during Sun acquisition, might even believe you that Eben Moglen is brainless Microsoft-hater.Aug 22 21:28
gnufreexHowever, truth is different. If Oracle acquisition failed, Sun would have been forced by investors to sell some assets and downsize in order to turn profits. Or maybe sell piece by piece to highest bidder until nothing is left. In case of auction, you will never know where Sun patents would end up. Some might even end up with patent trolls or Microsoft. So Moglen was right. Oracle was better choice than the alternative. And stilAug 22 21:28

balrogI'm curious as to how you get the idea that apple wants to steal xorg-server-1.9 development ... I've been running the alpha/community versions for some time now and they do a stellar job keeping it up to dateAug 22 21:43
balrogwhat they're probably going to be doing, though, is changing the default server shipped with OS X to 1.9.1Aug 22 21:44

But our lawyer said that this would not evade the requirements, that it was not allowed. And so they made the Objective C front end free software.Aug 22 21:51

schestowitzEarlier we talked about Ubuntu Forums (UF)Aug 22 23:06

schestowitzWe need to be careful of it happening hereAug 22 23:06
schestowitzWe banned the Lins*** people many times here last yearAug 22 23:07
schestowitzThey came in large group to the channels and infiltrated with anti-Linux fodderAug 22 23:07
schestowitzsebsebseb: problem is...Aug 22 23:07
schestowitzOMG!Ubuntu! takes Linux stuff and labels it "Ubuntu"Aug 22 23:08
schestowitzThis annoys many peopleAug 22 23:08
schestowitzSame with GNOMEAug 22 23:08

oiaohmGNOME is very split internally.Aug 22 23:08
sebsebsebThistleWeb: well this is meant to be a sort of new start by the sounds of it,  I guess this channel will be people expressing their opinoins and such though like before.  This is tech stuff we aren't all going to agree with each other about everything.Aug 22 23:08

oiaohmThere are also some in the Open Soruce world who do more harm than good.Aug 22 23:10

sebsebsebThistleWeb: and yeah DeamonFC  and people like that,  do say certain things that are a bit extrame, that some of us aren't that keen on, to be honest,  but looks like people like that are more  likely to be banned now.Aug 22 23:12

sebsebsebThistleWeb: and before going to  the channel,  I had read some stuff on boycottnovell site I guess, since Linux TodayAug 22 23:18
ThistleWebsebsebseb: remeber the 2 ops who took exception to the number of mint users claim?Aug 22 23:19
gnufreexoiaohm: I don't get what you are saying... I am not exactly 100% up to date on that topic.Aug 22 23:19
oiaohmNone of them could complete for a place in the mainline kernel when BFS first was pushed due to BKL mess.  gnufreex They were around the complete time in Real-time sub trees.Aug 22 23:20
sebsebsebThistleWeb: uh what are you refering to?Aug 22 23:20
ThistleWebthe way I look at "many" users, is you can rule out those who come in for a one off to get help with an issue, I'm talking about the regulars in the mint channelAug 22 23:20
ThistleWeband how many of them run mint as their main osAug 22 23:20
oiaohmIe there was a reason why scheduler lead was focusing on fixing up the BKL.  gnufreexAug 22 23:20
gnufreexoiaohm: Do you have link to some articles about those schedulers. I know about CFS, BFS, and one other that I forgot the name.Aug 22 23:20
ThistleWebabout maybe 30 regulars in those channels, with maybe 20 on at onceAug 22 23:21
sebsebsebThistleWeb: uhmm  lets take #ubuntu  always a lot of people in there, but most never type in there, and most probably aren't really Ubuntu usersAug 22 23:21
sebsebsebThistleWeb: they use other distros, or just keep an eye on Ubuntu at times, thinking about maybe useing itAug 22 23:21
sebsebsebThistleWeb: I guessAug 22 23:21

ThistleWebsuhana uses bsdAug 22 23:23
ThistleWebshe has VMs of mintAug 22 23:23
ThistleWebbut she uses bsdAug 22 23:24

ThistleWebjustin uses arch, and has vms of mintAug 22 23:24

sebsebsebThistleWeb: I like boycottnovell/techrights, can express opinions,  they might be quite wrong at times, but probably won't get challenged for itAug 22 23:29
sebsebsebThistleWeb: where as with Mint channels,  say the wrong type of stuff, and it seems, going to have some sort of issueAug 22 23:29
oiaohmHeck IRMOS is not really that new.  Its really interfacing ontop of Linux kernel 2 already existing mainline realtime systems.  gnufreexAug 22 23:29
ThistleWebthey go very quiet at the whole "whats your main OS" because they know most of them arent running mint and it wouldnt look good to have mostly arch usersAug 22 23:29

sebsebsebhave that, offical channelsAug 22 23:30
ThistleWebat times you did come across as trolling btwAug 22 23:30
oiaohmIe stuff was already in the kernel that should have kicked CFS and BFS ass.  But due to issues with locking counld not gnufreex.  People forget the scheduler lead was not only in charge of CFS but also in charage of the in kernel realtime support.Aug 22 23:31

sebsebsebor maybe that distro should just hopefuly die soon, so some other distro can become number one instead, such as maybe Fedora,  or  maybe the Mint version they are working on that will be based on Debian.Aug 22 23:41
