| msb_ | schestowitz: Excellent article! | May 12 16:22 |
| msb_ | schestowitz: I remember Leo Laporte from the TechTV cable channel. It had a couple of daily programs that mentioned Linux developments (along with MS and Mac). Comcast bought the channel, combined it with another one about computer games, and eventually killed both of the shows that used to mention Linux. I suspect that Microsoft was involved in the murder. | May 12 16:25 |
| msb_ | Those shows were the only ones I've ever seen on TV that talked about software intelligently. The computer game channel, G4, has no degenerated to the point where it runs shows about people cheating on their spouses, cops arresting people, and "professional wrestling". That's the length that the corporate ghouls have gone to prevent people from learning the facts about software, the Net, etc. | May 12 16:31 |
| msb_ | no-> now | May 12 16:32 |
| Ender_nothome | intelligently? | May 12 16:33 |
| Ender_nothome | I could NEVER stand those shows on TechTV | May 12 16:34 |
| Ender_nothome | especially Leo | May 12 16:34 |
| msb_ | They didn't go into, e.g., the details of bash or C programming, but they did talk about alternative apps for various purposes. | May 12 16:35 |
| msb_ | And all three operating systems. | May 12 16:36 |
| msb_ | Linux, Mac, and MS. | May 12 16:36 |
| msb_ | If they were around now, they'd talk about Skype, SIP, Ekiga, etc. | May 12 16:37 |
| msb_ | Ender_nothome: Why did you dislike those shows? | May 12 16:38 |
| Ender_nothome | I thought the people on them didnt know anything | May 12 16:40 |
| Ender_nothome | perhaps I missed it when it was good | May 12 16:40 |
