| schestowitz | > | Aug 14 11:34 |
| schestowitz | calculation needs to be based on the release date of the iPhone, not 2000, because Bill Gates chose not to reduce the iPhone to practice. So if you start with the date the iPhone went on sale, June 29, 2007 and add 5 years to that, you get summer of 2012. The finger touch controlled, tablet format, Internet access device which forms the “reference design” for the iPhone is already the dominant form factor for smart | Aug 14 11:34 |
| schestowitz | phones, now in 2011. And Tablets, which are just larger iPhones, are rapidly displacing other format computing devices. So by the summer of 2012, Bill Gates’ | Aug 14 11:34 |

| schestowitz | Microsoft does not like to compete because it cannot. As for Apple, it's an opportunist here. | Aug 14 11:34 |
| schestowitz | > Because starting 1998 and reaching a crescendo in 2001, Bill Gates hired the law firm Weil Gotshal & Manges to help Microsoft steal the designs for the iPhone and iPad, even though Microsoft never went full out with their plan as Apple did. And it was precisely because of what Microsoft did during that time period, | Aug 14 11:35 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 14 11:35 |
| schestowitz | that led to Steve Jobs getting to see the designs for the iPhone. The designs were shown to Steve Jobs precisely because Apple was Microsoft’s enemy – as Google top lawyer David Drummond alluded to. | Aug 14 11:35 |
| schestowitz | I guess so. | Aug 14 11:35 |

| schestowitz | > | Aug 14 11:35 |
| schestowitz | > And just as Bill Gates went to hire Weil Gotshal & Manges, so did Steve Jobs. Jobs even used WG&M to sue Motorola and others for “stealing the iPhone from Apple” (Apple’s words), and to defend Apple from Elan Microelectronics’ law suit. And that may have been a fatal error because in doing so, Weil Gotshal & Manges (and Apple) supplied evidence of obstruction of justice in a federal court case by concealing from | Aug 14 11:35 |

| schestowitz | [19:50] <cusco> I alwyas set up usb sticks with unetbootin tho | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:50] <schestowitz> ne0h|track: it's shown as CD-ROM in KDE | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:51] <schestowitz> cusco: let me try that again, failing that I'll use unetbooitin | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:53] <schestowitz> usb-hdd just sort of makes the boot process hang after "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:54] <babilen> schestowitz: unetbootin wouldn't work -- you want "cat debian-6.0.2.1-i386-businesscard.iso > /dev/sdb" (not /dev/sdb1) | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:54] <babilen> schestowitz: STOP! | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:54] <schestowitz> vader--: it's mounted from /dev/sdb1 | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:55] <babilen> schestowitz: It is: cat debian-6.0.2.1-i386-businesscard.iso > /dev/sde | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:55] <babilen> schestowitz: (assuming that /dev/sde is indeed the block device for the usb stick) | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:55] <schestowitz> based on the dmesg | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:55] <schestowitz> [1979206.617317] sdb: sdb1 | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:55] <schestowitz> is it sbd then? | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:56] <babilen> Ok, that that case the original command I gave you is the one you want | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:56] <babilen> schestowitz: yes | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:56] <schestowitz> aha | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:56] <babilen> schestowitz: And do that as root (sudo -i) | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:58] <Bushmills> you'd want to umount first | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:59] <babilen> Bushmills: good call! | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:59] <schestowitz> iso9660 is the type it used to be | Aug 14 20:09 |
| schestowitz | [19:59] <schestowitz> aha! | Aug 14 20:10 |
| schestowitz | [19:59] <babilen> schestowitz: unmount it first, then "cat debian-6.0.2.1-i386-businesscard.iso > /dev/sdb ; sync" | Aug 14 20:10 |
| schestowitz | [20:00] <schestowitz> happiness | Aug 14 20:10 |

| schestowitz | [22:08] <Guest12755> nasty death | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:08] <schestowitz> blue blood I thought.. | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:08] <schestowitz> well, riots cause 5 casualties | Aug 14 22:25 |

| schestowitz | [22:09] <schestowitz> And many Brits are too naive too realise what it's a Bad Idea | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:09] <Guest12755> this is a dress rehearsal | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:09] <schestowitz> Hopefully this can make some plutocrats nervous enough that they'll choose to behave better, IMHO | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:10] <schestowitz> The looters are a syndrome | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:10] <schestowitz> And a problem | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:10] <schestowitz> The solution is not to chase them one by one | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:10] <Guest12755> the single global currency and government trap is being sprung. | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:10] <schestowitz> Maybe | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:10] <schestowitz> "The West" government | Aug 14 22:25 |
| schestowitz | [22:10] <schestowitz> Amerupe | Aug 14 22:26 |

| schestowitz | [22:12] <Guest12755> We need to vacate to the wasteland in front of your house and dig a big hole that will temporarily house us for two months until the carnage blows itself out, then deliver ourselves unto the final conflict. | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:16] <Guest12755> We had our warning shot on Tuesday it was no coincidence we were given a taste of things to come that day. | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:16] <schestowitz> LOL | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:16] <schestowitz> No, the state is still well within control | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:16] <schestowitz> It hasn't even called in the military | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:17] <schestowitz> So I trust them to protect the Establishment | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:17] <schestowitz> People in the UK are not armed like in the US and the police still is well in charge, It's no Egypt | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz |  | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:17] <Guest12755> True, but state and military control is dependent on financial control. | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:18] <schestowitz> Yes, like films show too | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:18] <schestowitz> and the military/police can swap sides | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:18] <Guest12755> but no more chicken legs in harpurhey. | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:18] <schestowitz> And turn against order giversl, provided there's an inflection point | Aug 14 22:26 |
| schestowitz | [22:19] <schestowitz> You're being too pessimistic | Aug 14 22:26 |
