Chips_B_MalroyI can now add Yahoo to that list of sites and searches to never use, since Yahoo has basically become a front end for Bing.Sep 02 00:00

cubevectorI never use yahoo either, but that's good to knowSep 02 00:01
Chips_B_MalroyMS can sue businesses in China and make some small change.  But the masses, can buy Windows/Office for a buck on the street corner.  It will be impossible for MS to stamp that out.Sep 02 00:01
cubevectorsome ISPs use yahoo for webmailSep 02 00:01
cubevectorthey should just use red flagSep 02 00:02
Chips_B_MalroyThey will, in time.Sep 02 00:02
Chips_B_MalroyNow, if Bing in China is such a cash cow, (which it isn't) then why woud Microsoft want partners?  The anwser is, MS loses money on Bing in China, so wants partners to bankroll its losses.Sep 02 00:10
Chips_B_MalroyThis is why its current partner in Red China for Bing, is probably leaving the partnership, and MS is looking for another (sucker) partner.Sep 02 00:11
Chips_B_MalroyBut they paint it up with PR as MS is looking to become number 1 with partners.Sep 02 00:12

Chips_B_MalroyYou don't see MS looking for partners on its cash cows Windows or Office.  They only want partners to bear the burdons of losses on projects that fail. or during startup where losses will occur.Sep 02 00:15

Chips_B_Malroy"Yahoo Inc. disclosed Wednesday that South Korean partner NHN Corp., which operates the country's most popular search engine, has decided to stop using Yahoo's search advertising service in November."Sep 02 00:28
Chips_B_Malroy"In a research note sent to clients, Barclays Capital analyst Douglas Anmuth said that NHN's decision to bring its own search advertising "in-house" will cost Yahoo as much as 10% of its gross revenue next year, while reducing net revenue -- sales minus payments made to other sites to draw traffic -- by between 1% and 2%"Sep 02 00:29
*_Goblin has quit (Quit: Lost terminal)Sep 02 00:29
Chips_B_Malroy"NHN's Naver search service holds a roughly 65% share of the South Korean market, according to Anmuth, which is roughly equivalent to that of market leader Google Inc. in the U.S."Sep 02 00:29
Chips_B_Malroywow, 10% of Yahoo's revenue?Sep 02 00:30
Chips_B_Malroymajor loss thanks to the Bing deal with MS and Yahoo.  Guess Yang was right.Sep 02 00:30
Chips_B_Malroybut thats only 1% I think overall loss for YahooSep 02 00:31
Chips_B_Malroyso if both Japan and South Korea bolt the Yahoo/Bing cartel, who profits from this?  Google?Sep 02 00:33
Chips_B_MalroyLooks like Ballmer is failing againSep 02 00:33
Chips_B_Malroy"NHN's decision "represents another hit to the Yahoo-Microsoft search alliance as it reduces the ultimate scale opportunity," Anmuth wrote."Sep 02 00:34
Chips_B_MalroyBloomberg says less than 1% of Yahoo's overall profits.Sep 02 00:35
Chips_B_MalroyWhich is likely more than what Yahoo got from MS out of the deal.Sep 02 00:36

Chips_B_Malroy"Indeed, NHN CEO Kim Sang Hun stated according to Jun Yang, "We desperately need an advertising platform that's more flexible and effective, with closer ties to the local market to respond to advertisers' expectations promptly.""Sep 02 00:48
Chips_B_Malroy"And making the matter worse for Yahoo is the fact that some investors seem to agree, sending NHN's stock up following the announcement."Sep 02 00:49
Chips_B_Malroy"Jun Yang even wrote, "[Yahoo's] Overture may lose all its business in South Korea's 1 trillion won ($836 million) online advertising market as it is replaced with local technologies, said Choi Chan Seok, a Seoul-based analyst at KTB Securities.""Sep 02 00:50
Chips_B_Malroy"Anyway, Yahoo's contract with NHN is set to expire later this year."Sep 02 00:50

nenolodyes, it has been done.  i'm saying it's an uncouth practiceSep 02 12:46
oiaohmThe author has no issue with you doing the same with a closed source program.Sep 02 12:46
oiaohmSo why is GPL any different.Sep 02 12:47
MinceRdepends on the authorSep 02 12:47
oiaohmIf the auther does not want you altering the licence they should use a licence that prevents it nenolodSep 02 12:47
oiaohmOther wise stiff biskets.Sep 02 12:47
MinceRthere's no perfect license thoughSep 02 12:47
nenolodoiaohm: i just protect my code from GPL zealots by backing it with 240gbit of transit capacitySep 02 12:48
oiaohmThinking that BSD complain about GPL lack of means to be taken by closed source.Sep 02 12:48
nenolodit's called "denial of service"Sep 02 12:48
oiaohmnenolod:  sorry you cannot have it.Sep 02 12:48
oiaohmCalling GPL people zealots is wrong.Sep 02 12:48
MinceRit's not possible to allow usage in code with different free/OS licenses (including weak copyleft and permissive ones) while disallowing usage in nonfree code, afaikSep 02 12:48
nenolodmeaning, if you take code i have written that is non-GPLSep 02 12:49
nenolodand you make it GPLSep 02 12:49
nenolodwellSep 02 12:49
nenolodhope you can afford to take a lot of unwanted trafficSep 02 12:49
oiaohmIf you release code under BSD you should expect people to take it and licence it wrapped under something else.Sep 02 12:49
nenolodthis is how the BSD community worksSep 02 12:49
nenolodyou fuck us, we packet your assSep 02 12:49
MinceRthe BSD community is a bunch of DoS kiddies?Sep 02 12:49
nenolodseriousSep 02 12:49
MinceRgood to knowSep 02 12:49
oiaohmSorry closed source companies take BSD code alter and never give back. nenolodSep 02 12:49
_Goblinlol...Sep 02 12:49
nenolodoiaohm: this is trueSep 02 12:50
nenolodi am just trolling anywaySep 02 12:50
_Goblinat least youre honestSep 02 12:50
nenolodi do thinkSep 02 12:50
_GoblinI don't think you are trolling...Sep 02 12:50
nenolodthat while it is legal to do so, it is uncouth to change the license on BSD codeSep 02 12:50
oiaohmAs I put it if you release under BSD and the code gets wrapped up inside a GPL program you should be thinking lucky you can still see the changes.Sep 02 12:50
nenolodoiaohm: i just consider the code in question "still under BSD license"Sep 02 12:51
oiaohmIf the same happend with closed soure the changes would be hidden.Sep 02 12:51
oiaohmBSD licence does not auto spreed to alterations.  nenolodSep 02 12:51
oiaohmThe licence is flawed.Sep 02 12:51
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[jwildeboer/@jwildeboer] All gadget sites have morphed into Apple promo outlets. Sad. #failSep 02 12:51
MinceRnot necessarily flawed, just lacking a certain protectionSep 02 12:51
MinceRsometimes that's what you want, sometimes it isn'tSep 02 12:51
oiaohmNow if BSD had like GPL auto spreeding.Sep 02 12:52
nenolodoiaohm: it's never been an issueSep 02 12:52
oiaohmThe issue of alterations locking the code away it would never happen.Sep 02 12:52
nenolodoiaohm: if someone asserts they want their patch to be GPL, i just rewrite itSep 02 12:52
oiaohmLike Linux kernel submitters some of they have to submit under GPL by company requirements.  nenolodSep 02 12:52
nenolodthat said, i've worked on GPL code before, and do nowSep 02 12:53
nenolodoiaohm: in some cases, if they have to be under GPL, i do not want their changesSep 02 12:53
oiaohmIn my eyes no point being upset by BSS wraped events.Sep 02 12:53
nenolodoiaohm: it all comes down to what you're trying to doSep 02 12:53
oiaohmBSD wrapped events.Sep 02 12:53
oiaohmAt least GPL and other open source licences you can see what was done and do it another way solving the problem.Sep 02 12:54
oiaohmNow closed source you don't know what they changed so are worse off.Sep 02 12:54
nenolodi don't care about closed source appsSep 02 12:54
oiaohmYet you don't see BSD yelling about that.Sep 02 12:54
nenolodthey can do whatever the fuck they wishSep 02 12:54
oiaohmYep so Open source developers who like different licences can do whatever the fuck they wish as well.Sep 02 12:55
oiaohmOther wise you are a bias bit of work.Sep 02 12:55
nenolodoiaohm: i do not care about them putting it in a GPL app as long as they are willing to allow the specific patches to be contributed back as BSD.Sep 02 12:55
nenolodoiaohm: if they refuse, they are disrespectfulSep 02 12:55
nenolodoiaohm: the closed source people are also disrespectfulSep 02 12:56
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[jwildeboer/@jwildeboer] #RHT stock price YoY is +60% - wow. #impressedSep 02 12:56
nenolodthere are commercial reasons to use BSD license over GPL too, and vice versaSep 02 12:56
oiaohmYet lot of BSD people use the right not to return alterations for closed source as a selling point.Sep 02 12:56
nenolodmy selling point on ISC license isSep 02 12:57
nenolod"it's so simple a kid can understand it"Sep 02 12:57
nenolodi have used GPL beforeSep 02 12:57
nenolodi use GPL on things i want protection onSep 02 12:57
MinceRinterestingSep 02 12:57
nenolodbut for things i do not care aboutSep 02 12:57
oiaohmNote wrapping events have not only been GPL over BSD.Sep 02 12:57
MinceRso you hate reuse under GPL, but you don't mind reuse in nonfree code?Sep 02 12:57
nenolodor things that are not a big dealSep 02 12:57
oiaohmThere are a few MPL project and others that wrap over BSDSep 02 12:58
oiaohmThat result in the same problem of no return to BSD.Sep 02 12:58
nenolodMinceR: i don't care about reuse under GPLSep 02 12:58
nenolodMinceR: that said, it is nice to do a dual-licenseSep 02 12:58
nenolodfor those specific componentsSep 02 12:58
oiaohmLGPL Was designed to halfway a lot.Sep 02 12:59
nenolodthe way ath5k was handled was very disrespectfulSep 02 12:59
oiaohmAllow closed source usage and protect alterations.Sep 02 12:59
MinceRicSep 02 12:59
oiaohmatk5k issue was way more complex.  nenolodSep 02 12:59
nenolodath5k was handled by a GPL+BSD dual-licensingSep 02 12:59
nenolodi think that is a good solutionSep 02 12:59
oiaohmOne of the developers patching was not allowed to release under non GPL licenses.Sep 02 12:59
nenolodwellSep 02 13:00
nenolodhis companySep 02 13:00
oiaohmSo yes patches had to be removed and rewriten.Sep 02 13:00
nenolodsucksSep 02 13:00
oiaohmTo get to the GPL+BSD duel-licensing.Sep 02 13:00
nenolodi think requiring all contributions to be GPLSep 02 13:00
nenolodis disrespectful to opensourceSep 02 13:00
oiaohmNo.Sep 02 13:00
nenolodopensource is more than GPL/GNU/etcSep 02 13:00
oiaohmNot all companies want there resources take by competiton and altered to being incompadible.Sep 02 13:01
nenoloda person should be able to contribute to a projectSep 02 13:01
oiaohmRemember the SMB protocal by sun.  nenolodSep 02 13:01
nenolodUNDER WHATEVER LICENSE IT IS ALREADY ONSep 02 13:01
oiaohmAnd other protocals MS Nicked off with and altered.Sep 02 13:01
oiaohmThere are a lot of companies out there once bitten twice shy.  nenolodSep 02 13:01
oiaohmAnd they have very good reasons.Sep 02 13:01
nenolodyes, i understand the reasons why a company would require gpl contributionSep 02 13:02
nenolodhoweverSep 02 13:02
nenolodthey shouldn't patchSep 02 13:02
nenolodif they wish to play that waySep 02 13:02
oiaohmWhen it a case they need it working.Sep 02 13:02
oiaohmAnd others need it working and they have the patch.Sep 02 13:02
nenolodthen they should make an exceptionSep 02 13:03
oiaohmShort term tranfer across to GPL is better than bugs.Sep 02 13:03
nenoloddisagreeSep 02 13:03
oiaohmUntil people who can BSD coders can make a different version.Sep 02 13:03
nenoloddocument what is needed to fix and offer a GPL patchSep 02 13:03
oiaohmHeck if it was closed source you would have never seen the patch at all.Sep 02 13:03
nenoloddo not include GPL patch in kernelSep 02 13:03
nenolodthis is simpleSep 02 13:03
oiaohmSome of the patches were required.Sep 02 13:04
nenolodthen no ath5kSep 02 13:04
oiaohmAll the kernel would kernel panic using the driver.Sep 02 13:04
oiaohmNot a suitable out come when you work out how much ath5k are out there.Sep 02 13:04
nenolodi think it isSep 02 13:04
oiaohmNo its not.Sep 02 13:04
nenolodmister gpl douchebag could have made a stand and quit his jobSep 02 13:04
MinceRusers aren't necessarily satisfied by the "no ath5k" solution, though :>Sep 02 13:04
oiaohmJust because BSD coders have not kept up with bugs.Sep 02 13:05
oiaohmwhy should users suffer.Sep 02 13:05
MinceRif he quits his job, there's a good chance his next job won't let him contribute at all, thoughSep 02 13:05
nenolodsucksSep 02 13:05
oiaohmHeck most of the patch was Linux particular and not usable by BSD anyhow.Sep 02 13:05
MinceR(at least here in hungary it's hard to find a job at a FLOSS company)Sep 02 13:05
oiaohmSimple fact the Linux world was more than willing to work to a solution.  nenolodSep 02 13:06
oiaohmThat would help the BSD people out long term.Sep 02 13:07
oiaohmThey had no legal requirement to assist at all.Sep 02 13:07
nenolodthey did have the legal requirement to preserve the BSD+copyright noticesSep 02 13:07
nenolodthey can tack the GPL onto it, but they had to preserve the notices and they did notSep 02 13:07
oiaohmFunny enough particular version of FreeBSD had the BSD copyright notices missing off the files as well.  nenolodSep 02 13:08
nenolodwellSep 02 13:09
oiaohmIt was a importered bug.  nenolodSep 02 13:09
nenolodthey are in violation!Sep 02 13:09
nenolodwhatever, it got fixedSep 02 13:09
oiaohmThe code was uploaded by the BSD author himself.Sep 02 13:09
oiaohmYes bug.Sep 02 13:09
oiaohmAnd once the Linux people came aware of bug it got fixed very quickly.Sep 02 13:10
oiaohmIt was not a case of Linux people removing the copyright notices.Sep 02 13:10
oiaohmMurphy had a field day with the ath5kSep 02 13:11
oiaohmYes files missing there tags of start line is not something you expect to have happened.Sep 02 13:11

Chips_B_Malroy"In 1980, Apple went public and made Jobs and Wozniak multimillionaires. However, Jobs had refused to allow some employees of Apple to receive stock options, so Wozniak decided to share some of his founder stock with the rest of the team by either giving them away for free or at a heavily discounted price. This was dubbed "The Woz Plan"."Sep 02 22:46
