Chips_B_Malroywell, Ballmer is worth 15 to 16 billion, depending on the price of MS Stock on any certain dayOct 03 00:01
qu1j0t3right. 'wot, me worry'Oct 03 00:01
qu1j0t3insider selling continues, i expect.Oct 03 00:01
Chips_B_Malroyas far as I see, Ballmer is a complete tightwad that gives nothing to charityOct 03 00:01
qu1j0t3doesn't care about washing his reputation, i guess.Oct 03 00:02
Chips_B_Malroybut he did give 100k to the group to stop the taxes on the rich (himself) in his home state, so maybe he does 'give.'Oct 03 00:02

qu1j0t3i guess when he 'retires' he'll start doing damage with philanthropyOct 03 00:04
qu1j0t3Chips_B_Malroy: why not?Oct 03 00:04
qu1j0t3he's been there since 1980.Oct 03 00:04
qu1j0t3in other words, he lived through the 2 decades of insane growth.Oct 03 00:04
Chips_B_Malroyits obvious that Ballmer makes more than the guys working for himOct 03 00:04
qu1j0t3his wealth would have been based on stock socked away over those yearsOct 03 00:04
Chips_B_Malroyhe must be making it with higher stock optionsOct 03 00:04

Chips_B_Malroyquote from the link:  "But the board also cited some issues with Ballmer's management in recent months--the company's fiscal year runs from July to June. It said that "the unsuccessful launch of the Kin phone; loss of market share in the company's mobile phone business; and the need for the Company to pursue innovations to take advantage of new form factors" also factored into its compensation decision."Oct 03 00:10
qu1j0t3poor little rich manOct 03 00:10

qu1j0t3I use both every day. I get a Mac kernel panic maybe once a year, or every 2 years.Oct 03 00:18
Chips_B_Malroyits a nix kernel, Darwin/BSD so its stableOct 03 00:19
qu1j0t3OS X is bulletproof. This guy doesn't appear to be familiar with it. Most of the points are philosophical generalities.Oct 03 00:19
qu1j0t3Chips_B_Malroy: quite so.Oct 03 00:19
*oiaohm (~oiaohm@unaffiliated/oiaohm) has joined #techrightsOct 03 00:19
qu1j0t3of course Linux runs on more hardware than OS X. And NetBSD on more hardware than Linux. ...Oct 03 00:19
Chips_B_Malroylike Linux, which is probably more bulletproof than MacOct 03 00:19
qu1j0t3Chips_B_Malroy: no, it's not.Oct 03 00:20
qu1j0t3they are, however, comparable.Oct 03 00:20
qu1j0t3i run them side by side for many years. his point is false.Oct 03 00:20
Chips_B_MalroyI found it a bit too locked down for me to use compared to LinuxOct 03 00:20
Chips_B_MalroyBut superior to WindowsOct 03 00:20
qu1j0t3sure. there's no good user-level package manager. but it's not aimed at developers.Oct 03 00:21

oiaohmFrom 2005 indonesia goverment has been Linux so all web sites by goverment are tested with firefox not IEOct 03 00:21
qu1j0t3oiaohm: that's good. common sense at last.Oct 03 00:22
Chips_B_MalroyAlso GNU/Linux runs very well (FREE) compared to Mac OS X on hardware that costs 3x as much.Oct 03 00:22
oiaohmSo you want to do business in indonesia you better use firefox.Oct 03 00:22
oiaohmI also guess chrome has high usage as well.Oct 03 00:22
qu1j0t3Chips_B_Malroy: Linux on PowerPC isn't so well supported. I only own PowerPC Macs.Oct 03 00:22
oiaohmAnd IE would be no existant in indonesiaOct 03 00:22
oiaohmFunny part is all windows dvd's to come into australia come from indonesiaOct 03 00:23
Chips_B_MalroyI think Mepis runs on Mac as wellOct 03 00:23
gnufreex[01:17:58] <qu1j0t3> of course Linux runs on more hardware than OS X. And NetBSD on more hardware than Linux. ...Oct 03 00:23
gnufreexthat is myth. NetBSD only run on more CPUs (not more hardware) because it uses old code and puts portability over anything. Buy being able to boot NetBSD on something like PA-RISC, gets you nowhere. NetBSD doesn't support most of harware that goes with CPUs that NetBSD support.Oct 03 00:23
qu1j0t3gnufreex: well, it's not exactly a myth, but it's not a very important point either.Oct 03 00:23
Chips_B_Malroyoptimized for it I should sayOct 03 00:23
oiaohmLinux supports more cpus than NetBSD by the way.  gnufreexOct 03 00:23
qu1j0t3gnufreex: On the common linux platforms, there is good device support. netBSD is a different market.Oct 03 00:23
oiaohmNetBSD hardware coverage is not great.Oct 03 00:24
oiaohmUse to be about 5 to 6 years ago.Oct 03 00:24
oiaohmBut time has moved on.Oct 03 00:24
qu1j0t3yes, over 50 ports.Oct 03 00:24
Chips_B_MalroyBut Mac is not FREE, or really supports FREEdomOct 03 00:24
qu1j0t3linux focuses on x86, now. Alpha, PPC, SPARC, all stagnant.Oct 03 00:24
qu1j0t3though I've run all of them , and 68K, etc, at some point.Oct 03 00:25
Chips_B_MalroyApple is even suing Google for AndroidOct 03 00:25
qu1j0t3Linux ran fairly nicely on Alpha (the first non-x86 port, after all)Oct 03 00:25
oiaohmYou have missed arm tile and a whole stack of network structs cpus Linux wupports.Oct 03 00:25
oiaohmsupports qu1j0t3Oct 03 00:25
qu1j0t3oiaohm: I was naming stagnant platforms.Oct 03 00:25
qu1j0t3oiaohm: not listing supported ones.Oct 03 00:25
oiaohmPPC linux still works quite well.Oct 03 00:26
qu1j0t3Linux' home will always be x86, for desktops.Oct 03 00:26
qu1j0t3oiaohm: yeah but you're always fighting stagnation. the installed bases are tiny.Oct 03 00:26
gnufreexLinux support POWER and s390x, that is very active (IBM). Alo tilera port is getting into mainline.Oct 03 00:26
oiaohmI would be beting that qu1j0t3Oct 03 00:26

oiaohmArm is going after the desktop.  qu1j0t3Oct 03 00:26
qu1j0t3ran it on Alpha for years after thatOct 03 00:26
qu1j0t3oiaohm: sure ARM!Oct 03 00:26
qu1j0t3oiaohm: but that isn't among the platforms I listed as stagnant.Oct 03 00:26
oiaohmAlso china is pushing MIPSOct 03 00:27
gnufreexqu1j0t3: It is not stagnant. IBM sells POWER 7 with LinuxOct 03 00:27

Chips_B_MalroyUm, yeah.?? Probably not that many, right?Oct 03 00:29
Chips_B_Malroy"Oct 03 00:29
qu1j0t3oiaohm: a quick glance at netbsd.org will show you many embedded platformsOct 03 00:29
oiaohmSo when talking about netbsd vs linux you have to consider embeded.Oct 03 00:29

oiaohmBut in embeded LInux support hardware than netbsd.Oct 03 00:30
Chips_B_Malroyits a quote from the link I postedOct 03 00:30
gnufreexqu1j0t3: Why is important if it is diffrent market? It is same OS. You said POWER and SPARC ports are abandoned. I think only SPARC is abandoned.Oct 03 00:30
qu1j0t3gnufreex: well, for example, I run PowerPC desktops and laptops. linux on these is stagnant compared to x86. but this should surprise few.Oct 03 00:30
Chips_B_Malroyon the desktop sparc has more of a chanceOct 03 00:30
qu1j0t3well, maybe 8 yrs ago, it did :)Oct 03 00:31
gnufreexqu1j0t3: If it is 32-bit, then it is abandoned. 64-bit POWER is developed extensively.Oct 03 00:31
qu1j0t3but in reality there's no user base to sustain itOct 03 00:31
