schestowitzbruce<number> yah..Apr 24 01:00
schestowitzSometimes he redents meApr 24 01:00
sebsebsebshould  also bring the Techbytes downloads up by a lotApr 24 01:00
schestowitzsebsebseb: tim and I work on SIP recen\tly, getting some things set up thereApr 24 01:01
schestowitzJust needs a little more testingApr 24 01:01
sebsebsebyeah I was about to sayApr 24 01:01
sebsebseb,but you got to use  SIP to do Techbytes with RMS?Apr 24 01:01
schestowitzyesApr 24 01:01
sebsebseband maybe not provide the MP3 download? :DApr 24 01:01
schestowitzwe do oggApr 24 01:02
schestowitzPrimarilyApr 24 01:02
sebsebsebyeah, but I maen RMS might not want that episode to be in MP3 as well, since he is in it, you knowApr 24 01:02
sebsebsebschestowitz: and well if I was set up with this stuff, I could talk about Linux distro's and Mageia and so onApr 24 01:03
sebsebsebschestowitz: and yeah I can get one of the founders to chat about Mageia on it like I said before,  a Scottish guyApr 24 01:03

schestowitznot my choice. And Intel is very corrupt.Apr 24 01:03
sebsebsebschestowitz: maybe best to wait untill June 1st, before chatting properly about Mageia and such on Techbytes though, because that's the stable releaseApr 24 01:04
sebsebseband then yeah do it some time around thenApr 24 01:04

-TRIdentica/#techrights-[schestowitz/@schestowitz] @tekk not my choice. And Intel is very corrupt.Apr 24 01:05
schestowitzThe funny thing is thisApr 24 01:05
schestowitzIt didn't occur to me that we could have RMS on the showApr 24 01:06
schestowitzBut last night I had this unusual dream where he basically shows up and we have connection issues over SIPApr 24 01:06
schestowitzStrange dream, I know... but anyway, then I though, hey, why not invite him anyway?Apr 24 01:06

sebsebsebschestowitz: and got any contact with Linus? can maybe get him to go on it later, altough he's more so in the open source camp  really it seems, not free softwareApr 24 01:07
sebsebsebschestowitz: Linux is under GPL, beause it's a good lisesne a good development model, not so much about the freedoms that are gainedApr 24 01:07
Ender2070heyApr 24 01:07
sebsebsebschestowitz: hence also why he doesn't want to lisence it under GPLv3 it seemsApr 24 01:08
Ender2070does anyone know of other operating systems that are FLOSSApr 24 01:08
Ender2070non-linuxApr 24 01:08
sebsebsebEnder2070: BSDApr 24 01:08

sebsebsebReactOSApr 24 01:08
Ender2070I know of solaris and the bsd'sApr 24 01:08
schestowitzlol reactosApr 24 01:08
Ender2070yeah lolApr 24 01:08
sebsebsebwell ok it doesn't do much and is rather uhmm alphaApr 24 01:09
schestowitz[01:08] <Ender2070> does anyone know of other operating systems that are FLOSSApr 24 01:09
sebsebseb,but still an OSApr 24 01:09
schestowitzIt's not FLOSS, it's LOSS :-)Apr 24 01:09
sebsebsebschestowitz: uhmm?Apr 24 01:09
sebsebsebschestowitz: So when is RMS likely to be on Techbytes?Apr 24 01:10
Ender2070hmm BSDApr 24 01:12
Ender2070doesnt really solve my issue thoughApr 24 01:12
sebsebsebschestowitz: Why do you want Laurel L. Russwurm  in a show?Apr 24 01:12
sebsebsebalso what's the (CA) in brakets on that page?Apr 24 01:12
Ender2070ewwwApr 24 01:12
Ender2070what does Laurel have to do with FLOSSApr 24 01:12
sebsebsebEnder2070: not much I guess, except being a Ubuntu user, Roy  Schestowitz fan, a major Identica user, and going by identica something about her doing her own book with open fonts or somethingApr 24 01:13
Ender2070shes not an ubuntu userApr 24 01:13
Ender2070shes a windows userApr 24 01:13
sebsebsebno as far as I know she uses Ubuntu, or if you want to be more exact, Ubuntu and WindowsApr 24 01:13
Ender2070her dents are all canadian politics tooApr 24 01:13
sebsebsebindeed I have seen  quite a few of her dentsApr 24 01:14
sebsebsebmost of them don't interest meApr 24 01:14
Ender2070her so called book was designed in windowsApr 24 01:14
sebsebsebEnder2070: oh wait you got it wrongApr 24 01:14
sebsebsebEnder2070: she complains about people not having avatars here and there as wellApr 24 01:14
Ender2070she was complaining about not being able to use the fontsApr 24 01:14
Ender2070she didnt like the linux fonts, designed her book in windows and then got mad that she didnt have a royalty free license for the ms core fontsApr 24 01:15
sebsebsebohApr 24 01:15
Ender2070i follow her too but i've been one of her biggest criticsApr 24 01:15
Ender2070she doesnt do anything, she just complainsApr 24 01:15
Ender2070shes been using Flanigan as ammo for the left wing to attack harper, without filing a single police or rcmp report herselfApr 24 01:16
sebsebsebEnder2070: and she's a Roy Schestowitz fan like I said earlierApr 24 01:16
sebsebseband I think schestowitz is a fan of her as wellApr 24 01:16
Ender2070he might be a fan of herApr 24 01:16
sebsebsebEnder2070: ,but if she wants to gest talk about techrights and stuff to do with Linux and what not on Techbytes, well I am ok with thatApr 24 01:17
Ender2070it would explain why shes allowed to have political dents republished in this channelApr 24 01:17
sebsebsebI guess schestowitz would ask her some tech related questions,  and she answers and yep :)Apr 24 01:17
Ender2070i was removed from being republished for having political dents/tweetsApr 24 01:17
sebsebsebEnder2070: oh?Apr 24 01:18
Ender2070yeah you haven't noticed?Apr 24 01:18
sebsebsebwell I guess I had before or something, just not really thought of it though ,in that caseApr 24 01:19
sebsebseb,but when you say it indeed, there hasn't really been much coming in from enderApr 24 01:19
sebsebsebEnder2070: altough schestowitz has wikileaks coming in, and as far as I know that's polotics!Apr 24 01:19
Ender2070just when roy pushes a link to one of my tweets which he finds emusingApr 24 01:19
Ender2070amusingApr 24 01:19
Ender2070wikileaks is approved politics thoughApr 24 01:20
sebsebsebEnder2070: a part of me would  want to unsubscribe from laurel and bkuhm,  but well I get loads of other peoples junk coming in anywayApr 24 01:20
sebsebsebI am subscribed to a few people who are unlikely to subscribe to me,  bkuhm and popey for exampleApr 24 01:21
sebsebsebEnder2070: and since I am in the Ubuntu group on there, oh yes I get a lot of spamApr 24 01:21
Ender2070i have an audience that isn't all FLOSS people so I end up hanging out on twitter most of the timeApr 24 01:21
sebsebseboh and from the Linux outlaws group as well, by the way I been in the group on identica for quite a while, and been in the IRC before, but still not listended to a Linux outlawsApr 24 01:22
Ender2070i only use identica if im publishing links I want people to see from both servicesApr 24 01:22
sebsebsebwell Identica has people who aren't geeks on it as well I guess,  and those who aren't much of a geek I guessApr 24 01:22
Ender2070not very manyApr 24 01:23
Ender2070laurel was boasting about her 100+ dents in one dayApr 24 01:23
Ender2070twitter would laughApr 24 01:23
sebsebsebEnder2070: well I may be able to get a Scottish woman to sign up,  she uses Ubuntu and WIndows, but new to Ubuntu really and uhmmApr 24 01:23
sebsebsebwell not really that much into computers, wants to learn more though :)Apr 24 01:23
Ender2070good for her but she won't learn by using ubuntuApr 24 01:23
sebsebsebEnder2070: I thought laurel's messages go on Twitter as wellApr 24 01:24
sebsebsebwell can learn some stuff  by using Ubuntu, but then yes it's best to move on to another distro to learn more stuff :)Apr 24 01:24
Ender2070I learned the most from GentooApr 24 01:24
sebsebsebalso Linux doesn't have to be really technical,  I mean loads of commands and so onApr 24 01:25
Ender2070it doesnt have to beApr 24 01:26
Ender2070im in the market actually for something different than what we have right nowApr 24 01:26
sebsebsebEnder2070: so am IApr 24 01:26
sebsebsebEnder2070: Mageia :DApr 24 01:26
sebsebsebexceptApr 24 01:26
Ender2070I want to get away from the idea of files/directoriesApr 24 01:26
sebsebsebthe first stable version on June 1st, will be very much so like Mandriva really, well the old MandrivaApr 24 01:26
Ender2070im thinking more radical than MageiaApr 24 01:26
Ender2070there needs to be a filesystem that at least hides itself from the userApr 24 01:27
sebsebseb,but then Gnome 3 and such in the next release it seems, and well Mageia should start getting quite  the user base I thinkApr 24 01:27
sebsebsebI think we need another good distro to compete against UbuntuApr 24 01:27
Ender2070gives the user a tag based systemApr 24 01:27
sebsebseb,but you may not like me saying it really, but yep Fedora as wellApr 24 01:27
sebsebsebalso Fedora isn't really for the new users at the moment, well it can be sort of, but Linux Mint would be more suitable for exampleApr 24 01:28
Ender2070for new usersApr 24 01:28
sebsebsebaltough yeah there's this Fusion Linux now Apr 24 01:28
sebsebsebI did download the ISOApr 24 01:28
Ender2070I'd still suggest FedoraApr 24 01:28
sebsebseband burnt to a  DVD, but some issue with teh DVD it semesApr 24 01:28
sebsebsebFusion Linux based on Fedora, and like LInux Mint, well that's somethingApr 24 01:28
Ender2070Fusion Linux kind of sucksApr 24 01:28
sebsebsebcodecs, and loads of software by defualtApr 24 01:28
Ender2070it went beyond just adding codecsApr 24 01:28
sebsebsebEnder2070: your not the target audiance thoughApr 24 01:29
Ender2070I should beApr 24 01:29
twitterthat's one I will have to listen to -> (05:03:48 PM) schestowitz: RMS has replied and agreed to be on techbytesApr 24 01:29
Ender2070I dont really like installing codecs eitherApr 24 01:29
Ender2070but id rather not use Fusion, which comes with proprietary softwareApr 24 01:29
Ender2070TeamviewerApr 24 01:29
sebsebsebEnder2070: also we arent' the target audiance of Ubuntu 11.04, in fact take a read of this one http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/ubuntu-linux-1104s-target-audience-casual-windows-users/8723?tag=mantle_skin;contentApr 24 01:29

sebsebsebtwitter: indeed :)Apr 24 01:29
sebsebsebtwitter: also I am trying to listen in order, but well,  I may have to brake that for the RMS episode, if I am still way behindApr 24 01:30
sebsebsebtwitter: so far been listening in  order from the test episode,  to  the well next one I am meant to be listening toApr 24 01:30
sebsebsebEnder2070: having propritary software pre installed, makes things easier, for new users though, useualleyApr 24 01:31
sebsebsebpeople who have come from Windows or Mac OS XApr 24 01:31
Ender2070it doesnt have to come with teamviewer and stuff ill want to uninstall afterApr 24 01:31
Ender2070I just want Fedora + CodecsApr 24 01:31
sebsebsebEnder2070: oh sure it would be nice if most software was free software,  but no we live in a world  mose people use money, so well dream onApr 24 01:32
sebsebseband where most people are consumersApr 24 01:32
sebsebsebalso known as idiots by many companies I guessApr 24 01:32
twittersomehow I don't have time to listen to any of themApr 24 01:32
twitterI've downloaded a few but never got around to itApr 24 01:33
sebsebsebtwitter: I would rather listen to music on the computer, than voices, but Techbytes well it's worth the listen, well not alwaysApr 24 01:33
sebsebsebTechbytes it depends really, sometimes they talk aout a load of junk and it's like uhApr 24 01:33
sebsebsebother times it's great :)Apr 24 01:33
sebsebsebalso if I am doing something else on the computer and it's not that interesting,  a lot of what they say, I wont' really take in properlyApr 24 01:33
sebsebsebtwitter: I have time, but wel,  I want to read Linux news online, or  chat on IRC, but uhmm  there's a Richard Stallman video I still haven't seen properly,  also  I still havent' seen that video of Mark Shuttleworth (well had it open on the page before I think)  at UDS  in Florida in October 2010 announceing Unity for 11.04 and thatApr 24 01:35
sebsebsebfor what should be obvious enough reasons, if you have seen enough stuff that I have typed :D  well yeah it should be quite obvious why seeing that Mark video hasn't really been a priority for me :)Apr 24 01:35
sebsebsebI saws a short video of him recently at Dell with someone, talking about thingsApr 24 01:36
sebsebseba video from Januarey I think it wasApr 24 01:36
Ender2070I dont have a problem with Unity anymoreApr 24 01:36
sebsebsebEnder2070: Oh?Apr 24 01:36
Ender2070seems to be okay for netbooksApr 24 01:36
sebsebsebwell it's got the copyright assignment issue still sure, butApr 24 01:36
Ender2070I dont contribute codeApr 24 01:36
sebsebsebwell I been thinking about things as wellApr 24 01:37
sebsebsebhow for example Firefox 4 and Chrome are going to say Linux in user agent strings and not a distro anymoreApr 24 01:37
sebsebsebunless running on Android for example, and well how maybeApr 24 01:37
Ender2070it'll take a lot to replace jolicloud on my netbook thoughApr 24 01:37
sebsebsebthat's a goo thing reallyApr 24 01:37
Ender2070user agent strings need to dieApr 24 01:37
sebsebsebI mean, Ubuntuk, Fedora, Mageia, Mandriva,  Linux Mint,  Fusion Linux, PC Linux OS, Arch Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, Sabayon,  the Ender2070 fan club Linux distro,  well they are all Linux distro'sApr 24 01:38
sebsebsebthey are all Linux,  ok expect for that last one I guess, because as far as I know that doesn't really exist, but well if you were Hannah Montana you would have such an OS, yep Hannoah Montana based on Kubuntu existsApr 24 01:38
sebsebsebHannah Montana OS aboveApr 24 01:38
Ender2070I could make my own Fedora spinApr 24 01:38
sebsebsebwe have types of Linux distro, as you know,  Destkop Linux, server Linux, robotic LInux, etcApr 24 01:39
Ender2070non linux: Haiku, Solaris, PC-BSD, Free-BSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, L4, HurdApr 24 01:39
sebsebseb,but distro's that are in the type,  or at least for desktop and servers, tend to run pretty much the same software really, a Linux kernel and xorg and what notApr 24 01:39
sebsebsebso maybe it's a good thing that most Firefox and Chrome user agents strings will just say Linux instead of Linux and a distro like I was sayingApr 24 01:40
sebsebsebor at least when Ubuntu loses quite a lot more users to other distro's :)Apr 24 01:40
sebsebseband distrowise things are more even.Apr 24 01:40
sebsebsebat the moment if I see a  Firefox user agent string that says only Linux in it, I would probbly think they were running Ubuntu hmmApr 24 01:40
sebsebsebanyway whilst on my 11.04 Beta 2 where I did the Gnome 3 ppa wrongly and ended up with a cross between Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 instead, I am happy with it only saying Linux in the UA :)Apr 24 01:41
Ender2070ahhApr 24 01:41
sebsebsebEnder2070: why ahh?Apr 24 01:42
sebsebsebEnder2070: anyway yep that's right I have tried Unity 3D and 2D, not  customising the compiz version with hte compiz settings though, and want Gnome 3 working properly, but now waiting for  the finalApr 24 01:44
sebsebsebalso had isseus with a lot of Live CD's where I was meant to be able to get Gnome ShellApr 24 01:44
sebsebsebanywayApr 24 01:44
sebsebsebEnder2070: I  have also been thinking about Unity, and the software centre offering commerical apps,  and the software suggestions in Unity and that kind of thing,  how they are training wheels reallly.Apr 24 01:44
sebsebsebnewbie/noob featuresApr 24 01:44
sebsebseband well quite a lot of people move on from noob distros anyway, to better distro's, so :DApr 24 01:45
sebsebsebreally Ubuntu should be like Linux Mint, what for many is a first stepping stone distro, their first distro,  after using WIndows or/and Mac OS XApr 24 01:45
Ender2070tried unity earlier in virtualbox and it didnt workApr 24 01:46
Ender2070lolApr 24 01:46
sebsebseband where quite a lot of the helpers are using other  distro's, well that's the case with Linux Mint, in the case of Ubuntu not quiteApr 24 01:46
sebsebsebone of the community members I find out last night, is using Debian not UbuntuApr 24 01:46
sebsebsebalso it does work in Virtualbox if you set things up right, and I can give you a great link about thatApr 24 01:46
Ender2070sureApr 24 01:46
sebsebsebnot tried it msyelf in Virtualbox, but yes, the link I can give you, do what it says, and it should workApr 24 01:47
sebsebseboh and you would need some sort of hardware acceleration on the host I thinkApr 24 01:47
twitterdebian will probably modify that to day gnu/linux, gnu/hurd or gnu/bsd as appropriate -> sebsebseb: how for example Firefox 4 and Chrome are going to say Linux in user agent strings and not a distro anymoreApr 24 01:47
twitterI should check the user agent string right now.Apr 24 01:48
sebsebsebtwitter: Firefox Linux user agent strings, most of them,  would say  the distro that was being used as well, but not anymoreApr 24 01:48
sebsebsebstarting with Firefox 4Apr 24 01:48
sebsebseband Chrome and Chromreium have already done it or will do so soon, do something exactly the sameApr 24 01:48
sebsebseband why, because Internet Explorer 9 was removing more stuff from the UAApr 24 01:48
sebsebsebthey remove a bit more than just the distro's by the wayApr 24 01:48
sebsebseband then you can't just change the user agent string like before with Firefox 4, to have it like before eitherApr 24 01:49
sebsebsebtwitter: and well as far as I know the only way to get a proper idea how many users are on a Linux distro,  is to use user agent strings in browsers, or  to have the distro sites them selves monitoring the downloads  like Mozilla did with Firefox 4  http://glow.mozilla.orgApr 24 01:50

sebsebsebtwitter: the not showing Ubuntu in Firefox user agent string anymore,  effects yep Ubuntu/Canonical their apt siteApr 24 01:53
sebsebsebit detects for UbuntuApr 24 01:53
sebsebsebthere was something on Launchpad about thatApr 24 01:53
sebsebsebtwitter: and I like what MPT from the Canonical design team basically said on there, if they are going to show Android, then  they should show the distro's,  because there are loads of themApr 24 01:53
sebsebsebnot everyone is using UbuntuApr 24 01:54
sebsebsebtwitter: if I look at my old bookmarks in a file, I could  probably find the link for that, but not so much up for thatApr 24 01:54
twitterI have "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.4; Linux) KHTML/4.4.5 (like Gecko)" with debian gnu/linux as my UAApr 24 01:55
sebsebsebtwitter: and then there's this idea that showing less info to web servers means more privacy, uh maybe so, but if I am on a Linux distro that  I am happy using,  then I want to tell website statistics that, and hope that someone will see that :)Apr 24 01:55
sebsebsebtwitter: if I am on a distro that I don't really want to be telling website statistics that I am using such as Ubuntu for example, then well that's fine only having Linux showing :)Apr 24 01:56
twitterIt's a user decision, but sometimes it's not a choice.  Konqueror does domain specific UA to get around places that require IE and other idiot practices.  Apr 24 01:58
twitterthose idiot sites are usually not worth visiting but sometimes are forced by work - Microsoft is good at that kind of forceApr 24 01:58
sebsebsebtwitter: no it used to be a user decission in the case of FirefoxApr 24 01:58
sebsebsebtwitter: it is no longer a user decission as of Friefox 4Apr 24 01:58
twitterthat is foolish of MozillaApr 24 01:58
sebsebsebunless you uhmm well there's some sort of complete  way to change the user agent string, but not recommendedApr 24 01:59
sebsebsebif you start adding in your own user agent string yourself,  it will remove the part about using another distorApr 24 01:59
twitterI'll bet Iceweasle keeps the featureApr 24 01:59
sebsebsebI mean if you start adding in the distro yourself to the user agent stringApr 24 01:59
sebsebsebit will remove thatApr 24 01:59
twitterthat can't be rightApr 24 01:59
sebsebsebin fact if you open up a profile that was used in Firefox 3 series,  in Firefox 4,  it will then remove the  distro from the user agent stringApr 24 01:59
sebsebseband yes it isApr 24 01:59
sebsebsebI had a week or so messing around with the user agent stringApr 24 02:00

twitterI hate having to hack my browser to make it do what I want, that's part of the reason I use KonquerorApr 24 02:01
sebsebsebtwitter: I think I read that Seamonkey was going to get the change as well, but last time I used Seamonkey which wasn't that long ago,  well it was ok :)  not sure if I had the  very latest version thoughApr 24 02:01
sebsebsebyeah exactly bingoApr 24 02:01
sebsebsebalso  they no longer show the user agent in about > Firefox in Firefox 4 which is something that got at me as well, but well  recently I found out about a nice extention for showing user agent :DApr 24 02:02
sebsebsebshows the brwoser headersApr 24 02:02
sebsebsebtwitter: I think Firefox is on the verge of going down hill now really, from everything I have seen of Firefox 4Apr 24 02:03
sebsebsebthe user agent stupidityApr 24 02:03
sebsebsebno proper end user features that  are seen as wellApr 24 02:03
sebsebsebalso they are going to come out with Firefox 5, 6, and 7 this year as well, that's the planApr 24 02:03
sebsebsebtwitter: to me looking at software, loads of the already main streame software isn't that great really,  Windows,  Microsoft Office,  Mac OS X probably even, but not used that properly everApr 24 02:04
sebsebsebAdobe Photoshop?Apr 24 02:04
sebsebseband also software that is trying to go main streame,  starts to go down hill I find,  well going by Ubuntu anyway, since 9.04 was in developmentApr 24 02:04
sebsebseband Ubuntu kept on going hmm and hmm and hmm and hmm and 10.04 was  horrible really, but most users have no ideaApr 24 02:05
sebsebsebtwitter: problem is with brwosers,  there aren't really that many great alternatives to Firefox right now, not even here in Linux distro's where when it comes to real brwosers, so not IE shell's,  and real browsers that are decent, we probably got quite a lot more choice than WindowsApr 24 02:06
twitterIt looks like users will still be able to add distro to their UA in Firefox though the browser or through plugins Apr 24 02:08
sebsebsebtwitter: try it yourself in Firefox 4,  in about:config withApr 24 02:08
sebsebsebtwitter: well yeah in about:config and it will probably remove it on you, like I was sayingApr 24 02:09
sebsebsebbeen there done that, many timesApr 24 02:09
twitterKonqueror, Midori, Ephiphany, not to mention Iceweasel and other browsers are great alternatives to FirefoxApr 24 02:09
sebsebsebtwitter: and how did I add it in, I made a new string in about:config, making   a new string seemed to be the way to do it, then I called it like Seamonkey.  general.useragent.vendorApr 24 02:10
sebsebsebmidori is a bit hmm,  epiphany same thingApr 24 02:10
sebsebsebKonqueror is nice yesApr 24 02:10
sebsebsebI nearly went Opera, butApr 24 02:10
twitterthe Firefox platform portion of the string looks "standardized" how the gecko people like.  it should be easy for a script to add things after the official UAApr 24 02:11
sebsebsebI mean I nearly tried out Opera for my first itme properly for a while, after the Firefox 4 upgrade I did in PCLOS that I knew I would regretApr 24 02:11
sebsebseb,but then with Opera, it was like, how do I show book marks like Firefox?  and stuffl ike thatApr 24 02:11
sebsebseb,but featuerwise Opera and Firefox 4 by default, quite similarApr 24 02:11
twitterchromium browser is also niceApr 24 02:12
sebsebsebtwitter: I think it's  a good thing the distro's being mentione in user agent strings for brwosersApr 24 02:12
sebsebsebif they watn to remove thinsg like the U in the Firefox user agent string, and the langauge stuff, well so be itApr 24 02:12
sebsebseb,but having the browser itself, OS, and in the case of Linux the distro showing, well that's great :)Apr 24 02:12
sebsebsebtwitter: no Chromium is ah for me!Apr 24 02:12
sebsebsebfirst of all the interface reminds me of Internet Explorer 7 that's for Chromium and ChromeApr 24 02:12
twitterme too and the whole issue of analysis seems strange, it should be easy to parse for distros if people actually wanted to do thatApr 24 02:13
sebsebseball this like stuff on the  right next to the URL bar and that kind of thing,  also with Chromium/Chrome again I had issues bookmarking and what not,  I am very used to FirefoxApr 24 02:13
sebsebsebtwitter: you to what? agreeing that UA's should show the distro?Apr 24 02:13
twitterI'm agreeing that UAs should show whatever the user wantsApr 24 02:14
sebsebsebwell yes, and by default they should be like befoer showing  the distro I think :)Apr 24 02:14
twitterthat does not really complicate the analysisApr 24 02:14
sebsebsebof course Mozilla probably doesn't think like meApr 24 02:14
sebsebsebwellApr 24 02:14
twitterit should be easy enough to parse for distro names if you wantApr 24 02:14
sebsebsebFirefox user agent strings are one way, to  get an idea  about Linux distro market shareApr 24 02:14
sebsebsebeven on Windows, if I am using a browser on  Windows, I would think probably or possibily about how maybe some how, I am actsaully contributing to Windows market share whilst doing soApr 24 02:15
sebsebsebsame thing if I am running a browser in Wine,  I mean when it says Windows in the UAApr 24 02:15
sebsebsebthen again I woudn't go on sites that are being used for getting an idea, about how many people are on a distro I guess, but stillApr 24 02:15
twitteryou should be worried about more than that if you are browsing with WindowsApr 24 02:16
sebsebsebif you mean the amount of security issues there can be, well sureApr 24 02:16
sebsebsebtwitter: in the case of Internet Explorer 9 removing mroe stuff from the UA I think that makes sense for Microsoft, I mean spyware toolbars can add to it for exampleApr 24 02:16
sebsebsebon the other hand, well a technical user could look at the UA quickly, to see if any malware added to itApr 24 02:17
twitterNothing from Microsoft makes senseApr 24 02:17
sebsebsebtwitter: Internet Explorer 10 is Windows 7 only by the wayApr 24 02:18
sebsebseband I guess Windows 8 could run it, when that's outApr 24 02:18
sebsebsebtwitter: anyway  I mentioned the UA thing in  Mageia channels a few times not that long ago, but no one  who was replying seemed to care muchApr 24 02:19
sebsebsebalso apparnalty on distrowatch it was number 19 not that long agoApr 24 02:19

DaemonFCoiaohm, One thing that I hate about OpenGL is sometimes the driver has to claim to support 3-4 extensions that really just map to 1 real oneApr 24 14:08
DaemonFCbecause they couldn't decide what to call it and real world applications call it by NV, ATI, INTEL, SGI, ARB, and EXTApr 24 14:09
DaemonFCor any combinationApr 24 14:09
DaemonFCso even if your driver supports the extension, all it takes is an app asking for it by a different name to failApr 24 14:10
DaemonFCwhich is retardedApr 24 14:10
DaemonFC:)Apr 24 14:10
oiaohmThere is a offical rules behind that.Apr 24 14:10
oiaohmEXT is offically part of the spec.Apr 24 14:10
DaemonFCARB means it's up for review I thinkApr 24 14:10
DaemonFCand vendor name means that it is a vendor extension that hasn't been submittedApr 24 14:10
DaemonFC:PApr 24 14:10
oiaohmNV ATI INTEL SGI MESA are implementors own.Apr 24 14:10
oiaohmno requirement is that you do submit them.Apr 24 14:11
oiaohmARB is test run before EXTApr 24 14:11
oiaohmSo if the process worked.  New sections you are not sure if they work yet should either be under your own tag or ARBApr 24 14:12
oiaohmOnce you are sure you implementation is right then you should display the EXT form.Apr 24 14:12
oiaohmProblem is implementations have been done against Opengl rules.Apr 24 14:12
oiaohmOtherwise things would work well.Apr 24 14:12
cubezzzcool, I just added a coreboot search engine to firefoxApr 24 14:13
cubezzzhandyApr 24 14:13
DaemonFCthe problem is a vendor can use GL_ATI_FOO and they don't get around to submitting it for a long time, so apps start asking for GL_ATI_FOO, then they finally submit it, and the ARB takes forever to decide, so now some applications call it GL_ATI_FOO, and some call it GL_ARB_FOO, in the mean time, Nvidia comes along and implements an extension that does basically the same thing, and they call theirs GL_NVIDIA_BAR, so now youApr 24 14:13
DaemonFC're in trouble, GL_ATI_FOO and GL_ARB_FOO are the same thing and GL_NVIDIA_BAR is the same thing only not entirelyApr 24 14:13
DaemonFCthen the ARB gets aroudn to making GL_ARB_FOO official as GL_EXT_FOOApr 24 14:13
DaemonFCand now anyone with an OpenGL stack needs GL_EXT_FOO that really also supports the nonstandard GL_NVIDIA_BAR extensionApr 24 14:14
DaemonFCand map GL_ATI_FOO GL_ARB_FOO, and GL_NVIDIA_BAR to itApr 24 14:14
DaemonFCB-)Apr 24 14:14
DaemonFCand this is one extension you see :)Apr 24 14:14
DaemonFCthats why output of glxinfo goes on for miles with most "feature-complete" driversApr 24 14:15
oiaohmDaemonFC: If you are obeying opengl development rules by spec you should not use GL_ATI GL_NVIDIA.... stuffApr 24 14:16
DaemonFCyeahApr 24 14:17
DaemonFCbut anyone who types in glxinfo can see how well their driver follows the rulesApr 24 14:17
DaemonFCbecause if they did, lots of programs would breakApr 24 14:17
DaemonFCit makes it real easy to forget to mask something and have, real programs breakApr 24 14:19
DaemonFCthat happened recently with Gallium3d and the video game TrineApr 24 14:19
DaemonFCif your OpenGL driver followed the official OpenGL extension naming rules, you'd be cussing out the driver vendor because half your programs don't workApr 24 14:20

_GoblinJono...good choice, but then most every audiocast has had him on......Apr 24 23:31

_Goblinits getting difficult to find anything of note to talk about regarding them.Apr 24 23:37
_Goblinof course patent maneuvers are par for the course, but tech wise?  Can't think of anything of note recently, unless we talk again about how many WP7's they are not sellingApr 24 23:38

sebsebsebalso I noticed how the nicks seemed to always start with a capital, which is the more correct way really, but so used to people starting with a small letter nowApr 24 23:49

_GoblinahApr 24 23:52
sebsebseb_Goblin: which is why I thought it was odd that it was saying another ip address on techbytes siteApr 24 23:52
