oiaohm_Can it create data in metaMar 04 07:31
oiaohm_And really I wish php would develop a form of generic cache system so that cache files could be put outside http zones.Mar 04 07:32
schestowitzI see the point, but..Mar 04 07:41
schestowitzIt's not too bad for cache files to be publicMar 04 07:41
schestowitzThe files does not exist, but maybe has expiredMar 04 07:42
schestowitzLet me check a newer oneMar 04 07:42
schestowitzFiles are being created OK in this directory and seem to be correctly-built filesMar 04 07:43
schestowitzNot sure about their permission, they oughtn't have changedMar 04 07:44
schestowitzBut there's a clue in the similar error coming from the wiki softwareMar 04 07:44
schestowitzSame type of error, so it's probably not a wordpress issue at allMar 04 07:44
schestowitzOuch. Site down..Mar 04 07:47
oiaohm_schestowitz: Mostly that I would like to have the software core read only.  cache and databases split.   Cache normally does not need to execute anything.Mar 04 07:49
oiaohm_schestowitz: and same goes with database its altering data no code.Mar 04 07:49

oiaohm_MinceR: i4i wrote the code MS is using.Mar 04 14:52
gnufreexThere is MSFT internal mail that i4i brought up on trial.Mar 04 14:52
gnufreexThey say "We are making i4i obsolete with their own ideas"Mar 04 14:53
gnufreexAnd now MSFT thies to deform patents systemMar 04 14:53
MinceRoiaohm_: icMar 04 14:53
gnufreexto get a free pasMar 04 14:53
oiaohm_MS thought i4i was too small to be able to fight.Mar 04 14:54
gnufreexoiaohm_ I didn't know there is copyright?Mar 04 14:54
gnufreexI thought they just reimplemented i4i codeMar 04 14:54
oiaohm_Including i4i documentation in the code.  gnufreexMar 04 14:55
gnufreexi4i made a mistake that they didn't make MS sign non-compete clause before seeing their code.Mar 04 14:55
gnufreexThat is must when someone deals with MSMar 04 14:55
gnufreexSince they don't have that contract, they must try with patentsMar 04 14:56
oiaohm_i4i case really should be a slam dunk against MS.Mar 04 14:57
gnufreexAnd Microsoft tries to paint them as patent troll, obsfucating information that they have some products.Mar 04 14:57
oiaohm_With tripple damages.Mar 04 14:57
gnufreexUnder MS definition, they claim patent trolls don't have products.Mar 04 14:57
gnufreexSo i4i is notMar 04 14:57
gnufreexOr elseMar 04 14:57
oiaohm_Worst part for i4i is at first MS tried to claim they had completely invented the system.Mar 04 14:57
gnufreexMS is patent troll tooMar 04 14:57
gnufreexAnd they should admit itMar 04 14:58
gnufreexif they want to call i4i a trollMar 04 14:58
oiaohm_i4i was selling a product.Mar 04 14:58
oiaohm_a libraryMar 04 14:58
oiaohm_So how by MS define are they a troll.Mar 04 14:58
schestowitzLOLMar 04 14:59
oiaohm_i4i is spyglass all over again.Mar 04 14:59
MinceRi think it's a mistake to deal with m$ at all, except for fighting m$Mar 04 14:59
gnufreexNo, by MS standards, trolls have no products.Mar 04 14:59
gnufreexHence, i4i is not Microsoft-certified trollMar 04 14:59
gnufreexBut they are troll in real worldMar 04 14:59
gnufreexAnd MS is troll in real worldMar 04 14:59
oiaohm_Yet MS called them a troll gnufreexMar 04 15:00
oiaohm_Notice MS double standards here.Mar 04 15:00
gnufreexYesMar 04 15:00
oiaohm_They change a define to suit them.Mar 04 15:00
gnufreexexactlyMar 04 15:00
gnufreexMicrosoft has patent trolling division.Mar 04 15:00
gnufreexWith Horacio GutierezMar 04 15:01
gnufreexas CEOMar 04 15:01
gnufreex<oiaohm_> i4i case really should be a slam dunk against MS.Mar 04 15:02
gnufreexIf MS ends up not paying, that means patent system should be thrown outMar 04 15:02
gnufreexIt is uselessMar 04 15:02
gnufreexMS can steal anywaysMar 04 15:02
MinceRwe already know the patent system should be thrown outMar 04 15:02
gnufreexYeah, but this brakes last argumentMar 04 15:02
gnufreexThat little companies can take out patentsMar 04 15:02
gnufreexTo defend themselvesMar 04 15:03
gnufreexWell, this proves they can'tMar 04 15:03
MinceRthat argument never held waterMar 04 15:03
MinceRwhen big companies can take out thousands of patents to crush the little ones withMar 04 15:03
gnufreexyesMar 04 15:03
MinceRand that's assuming that the little one doesn't lose the case due to not having a big enough army of lawyersMar 04 15:03
MinceRor not being to afford to buy the judgeMar 04 15:03
MinceRs/ing/& able/Mar 04 15:03
gnufreexBut we don't have high profile case to point thatMar 04 15:05
gnufreexi4i could be oneMar 04 15:05
