TechrightsBot-sc@davidgerard: @schestowitz only 2.5 months? open source can't possibly match the fit and finish of proprietary software.Jun 15 18:59
schestowitzThat's for a desktop session with 2GB of RAM and very heavy usage, few memory leaksJun 15 19:00
schestowitzThanks a lot. Catching up after a downtime-ish....Jun 15 19:05

schestowitzAnd bkuhn promotes good causesJun 15 19:27
ender_33Bkuhn is one of those extremistsJun 15 19:28
ender_33"Bradley Kuhn: a life devoted to Free Software"Jun 15 19:39
ender_33thats his jobJun 15 19:39
ender_33that would be like devoting an award to a garbage man for his 'life devoted to garbage disposal'Jun 15 19:39
ender_33For example, I'm often teased because of my obsession with old hardware, but I've never really considered the idea of switching to a new computer while the one I have still works. I buy all my computers used on the second-hand market; it just feels more "real" that way to me, like picking out a dog at the shelter.Jun 15 19:42
ender_33lolJun 15 19:42
ender_33'I've never really considered the idea of switching to a new computer while the one I have still works.Jun 15 19:43

TechrightsBot-sc@davidgerard: @schestowitz I remember my annoyance when KDE 3.0.0 on FreeBSD required me to restart Kicker every few months :-)Jun 15 20:17
schestowitzIn this case I did need to recover some KDE processes throughout the 2.5 months :-)Jun 15 20:17
ender_33I had a smooth transitionJun 15 20:18
ender_33thanks to SUSEJun 15 20:18

schestowitz> That 2006 Common Dreams write up is really the bomb shell source.  Jun 15 21:24
schestowitzThat looks brilliant so far. I want you to have full editorial control over it. I will only help by continuing to work on other months (to avoid conflicting or duplicate work), the important thing is that this gets documented and organised. It sure makes a difference.Jun 15 21:24
