_Goblinschestowitz: the alternative is to say " Ok you can kill yourself, but you can't..." Better to have someone assessed......How many suicides have been drug induced? Thats why, its better to assess.... John Smith may not want to die, merely is acting out a sideeffect of an external factor (drug)Aug 15 12:45

schestowitzYour survey will be tiltedAug 15 19:35
schestowitzIf you ask the wrong population subsetAug 15 19:35
schestowitzand some approach lobbyists, too, like FlorianMAug 15 19:35
BlueshiftIt's part of the segment. Also licence companies and so forth. I mean really the people who potentially invest here don't understand how the industry works. You do. Let us know what's up. That's what's on the tableAug 15 19:35
Blueshiftright so I am aproaching you because people like you are part of our evaluation subsetAug 15 19:36
schestowitzI think the survey that you mentioned is already being skewed by selectionAug 15 19:36
schestowitzAllow me to ask thisAug 15 19:36
schestowitzAs a bit of a statisticianAug 15 19:36
schestowitzHow many non-lawyers have you approached?Aug 15 19:36
schestowitzHow many agreed to answer questionsAug 15 19:36
schestowitzHow many of those who agreed were lawyers?Aug 15 19:36
schestowitzCause you can end up with a selection biasAug 15 19:37
BlueshiftSo far I have aproached about 15 inventors/enginers and about 10 licencing companies. I have looked at 5-7 industry pages. I am in the early stages here. Like I said if you have better valuation metrics let me knowAug 15 19:37
schestowitzAnd then issue some report that merely reflects the opinion of those who are enthusiastic about Acacia's racketeering operations (pardon the reality of it)Aug 15 19:37
schestowitzSo you got 7 lawyers/similar from licensing companies?Aug 15 19:38
schestowitzHow many of the engineers agreed to particularity?Aug 15 19:38
schestowitzI am trying to help hereAug 15 19:38

schestowitz[19:39] <schestowitz> For example, there are far more engineers than lawyers specuialising in patentsAug 15 19:40
schestowitz[19:39] <schestowitz> And you need to take that into accountAug 15 19:41
schestowitz[19:40] <schestowitz> Otherwise, even a survey of 1000 people would be invalid, as it doesn't assimilate with the real distribution of assessmentsAug 15 19:41
schestowitz[19:40] <schestowitz> I see IDC playing those dirty games all the timeAug 15 19:41
Blueshift_can we move to the phone or email please?Aug 15 19:41
schestowitz[19:40] --> Blueshift_ has joined this channel (63a44dd5@gateway/web/freenode/ip.99.164.77.213).Aug 15 19:41
schestowitz[19:40] <schestowitz> In fact, almost all analysts do that. It's done for clients.Aug 15 19:41
schestowitz[19:40] <schestowitz> And then you need to ask who commissions those surveysAug 15 19:41
Blueshift_Roy, Aug 15 19:41
schestowitzOK, but first I need to find out who commissions this studyAug 15 19:41
*Blueshift has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)Aug 15 19:42
Blueshift_I don't know who commisioned this. I can give you the name of my project leadAug 15 19:42
schestowitzCan you ask him who pays for this survey? It's important.Aug 15 19:42
Blueshift_my company etc. Aug 15 19:42
schestowitzIn my field of academia it affects outcomes; it would be the same with industryAug 15 19:43
Blueshift_Well I yes I can. But the truth is this might just be an idea that someone hadAug 15 19:43
schestowitzbut who is the client that's after this survey\?Aug 15 19:43
schestowitzthe one who asked your company to conduct it?Aug 15 19:43
Blueshift_that then they are going to either recommend or based on the initial feedbackAug 15 19:43
Blueshift_What I am saying to you is that this might not even be how this project came to beAug 15 19:44
schestowitzrecommend to whom though?Aug 15 19:44
schestowitzWho asked your company to do this survey?Aug 15 19:44
schestowitzIt matters to meAug 15 19:44
Blueshift_Generally speaking investment groups. What I am saying is that this company was slected by evaluation due to some idea from a project lead. Someone in the company wants to look at IP Aug 15 19:45
schestowitzSo it's peripheral investors then..Aug 15 19:45
schestowitzI guessAug 15 19:45
Blueshift_No one hired us to do this per se. IT's possible and I can find out. But, the truth is that I am likely not working for anyone other than my lead. These aren't people knowledgable about the industry so the questions are very basic.Aug 15 19:45
schestowitzWell, then I would like to participateAug 15 19:46
Blueshift_ecellentAug 15 19:46
schestowitzBut it's conditional upon the survey being fairAug 15 19:46
schestowitzI.e. not just asking 'IP' peopleAug 15 19:46
schestowitzBTW, there is no such thing as IPAug 15 19:46
schestowitzThere ae patents, copyrights,Aug 15 19:46
schestowitzAnd trademarksAug 15 19:46
schestowitzthose are actual lawsAug 15 19:46
schestowitzIP is a buzzwordAug 15 19:46
Blueshift_now would like my email or phone and I can send you slightly more details. It's all very brief. Honestly, if you know people I should be talking to I will talk to them tooAug 15 19:46
schestowitzLike I said, it's based upon it being a balanced surveyAug 15 19:47
schestowitzSo if, as you say, you had a turnout of mostly lawyers, then I'd consider it to be an invalid surveyAug 15 19:47
schestowitzAnd thus not cooperate with itAug 15 19:47
Blueshift_Roy, I just want to move to phone or email. I am not looking to get marriedAug 15 19:47
schestowitzSo it ought to be shown that it's done properlyAug 15 19:47
schestowitzThe 'IP' people would tell you to up the money in so-called 'protection' of IP firmsAug 15 19:48
schestowitzIt's a patent trollAug 15 19:48
schestowitzTo IP people it's a gold mineAug 15 19:48
schestowitzSomething to leech withAug 15 19:48
schestowitzAnd they oughtn't be massively present in the surveyAug 15 19:48

Blueshift_Industry  Specialists. 1.What is your opinion of the intellectual property industry?    2.How has the IP industry changed since the Nortel patent auction?  3.What is your opinion or thoughts of the Acacia business model? Is it viable? Is it simply a vehicle to promote litigation?   4.What are your thoughts on Acacia’s revenue sharing split of 50% - 50%?  How does that compare to industry standards or other leading patenAug 15 19:53
schestowitzmaybe we can answer as a group, too :-) :-)Aug 15 19:53
Blueshift_That's fair but I would like everyone's name, if possibleAug 15 19:53
schestowitz> 1.What is your opinion of the intellectual property industry? Aug 15 19:54
schestowitzBlueshift_: sureAug 15 19:54
Blueshift_5.Why do customers select Acacia to represent their patents? What strengths do they demonstrate that their competitors do not?  6.Do you have any idea of the patent portfolio value of Acacia? (They report over 180 patent portfolios) How might one get a handle on the value of the patent portfolio? Aug 15 19:54
Blueshift_These are the questionsAug 15 19:54
schestowitzThe industry of patents, copyrights, and trademarks is a curious phenomenon that uses monopolies on knowledge or worksAug 15 19:54
Blueshift_Let's go with 1 1.What is your opinion of the intellectual property industry?   Aug 15 19:54
schestowitzIt is based on the taking of ideas or works (code, poems, etc.) from the public and then selling them back for a feeAug 15 19:55
schestowitzI think it's an industry that brings a lot of resentmentAug 15 19:55
schestowitzThe public increasingly realises that this industry offers nothing to itAug 15 19:55
schestowitzAnd it wants reformAug 15 19:55
schestowitzCopyright trolls like righthaven and patent trolls like IV further validate this opinionAug 15 19:55
schestowitz> 2.How has the IP industry changed since the Nortel patent auction?Aug 15 19:56
schestowitzNortel was sold for monopolies it had on particular ideasAug 15 19:56
schestowitz20-yea monopoliesAug 15 19:56
schestowitzIt was sold into a cartel comprising foes of Android in particularAug 15 19:56
schestowitzTo exert pressure and extort money from a successful rivalAug 15 19:57
schestowitzthrough samsung, motorola, etc.Aug 15 19:57
Blueshift_Why would you call it a cartel?Aug 15 19:57
schestowitzA cartel is a joining of several groups...Aug 15 19:57
schestowitzTo achieve a goal that harms their surroundingsAug 15 19:57
schestowitzE.g. price-fixing cartelsAug 15 19:57
schestowitzA conspiracy to defraud the publicAug 15 19:57
schestowitzOr to make phones expensiveAug 15 19:58
Blueshift_Right but if what you are saying is correct wouldn't this be illeagal?Aug 15 19:58
schestowitzThe high cost for which nortel was sold shows that the use of patents to impede rivals is a valuable new instrument for competitionAug 15 19:58
schestowitzBlueshift_: many things that are done are illegalAug 15 19:58
schestowitzAnd I could give exampleAug 15 19:58
Blueshift_indeed. I am just asking if you think something criminal occured hereAug 15 19:59
schestowitzBut their prevalence and politics surrounding them keep them out of federal intervention -- for nowAug 15 19:59
schestowitzCPTN, built around Novell's sold patents, came under US DOJ inteeventionAug 15 19:59
schestowitzAction was takenAug 15 19:59
schestowitzAs it was seen as anti-compeitiveAug 15 19:59
schestowitzAnd the sale was limitedAug 15 19:59
schestowitzCanadian regulars and US regulators alike reacted similarly to the Nortel affairAug 15 20:00

_GoblinI'd say the views in COLA are unread by the masses....I don't see Jono or anyone of any significance reading COLA...infact I don't even think the mainstream linux users would go there, its just bickering between people...what does COLA offer? Its certainly not up to date news, its certainly not polite conversation, its merely a few users now who have been there so long its part of their lives.Aug 15 23:13
SnitI am an OS X user, too.Aug 15 23:13
ender_33_Snit - in fact right now Roy is in another channel discussing how avater is a pinnacle of americanismAug 15 23:13

ender_33_he must not have watched it allAug 15 23:13

DrumScumyou've not called me an asshole or soAug 15 23:14
SnitDrum - ok.  I think I am coming off a bit aggressive.  Not my intention to "attack" you... you came in here and did not say a single word against me.Aug 15 23:14
DrumScumah, i seeAug 15 23:14
jono_Goblin, I used to read COLA every day in the late nineteesAug 15 23:14
SnitThough you did just post accusations against me in COLA.Aug 15 23:14
jonobut it has turned into a cesspitAug 15 23:15
DrumScumwell, i did post to cola how i think you're a troll :-pAug 15 23:15
SnitThe "advocates" just lash out at anyone who is not blindly following them.Aug 15 23:15
SnitAnd there are jerks there who just want to mess with people.Aug 15 23:15
DrumScumand i mean that, and it has nothing to do with being part of a herdAug 15 23:15
SnitYou not only said I was a troll, you made specific accusations you cannot back up.Aug 15 23:15
_Goblinjono: lol....Aug 15 23:15
SnitYou claimed I am one of those who is "constantly spewing lies and FUD".Aug 15 23:16
ender_33_snit - nah I say it is programming. he would say its 'dirty capitalism'Aug 15 23:16
SnitNow, you know that is not true.  If you really believed it you would back it up.  You simply said that to please the herd.Aug 15 23:16
_Goblinjono: I wish I'd last looked at it in 1999 its a insidious pool of bickering which sucks you in without knowing it....Aug 15 23:16
SnitEnder: Roy ran off saying he had to go program.  The reality is he realized his time code pointed to the same part of the conversation where I had already done as he asked and given him a transcript.  And it did not say what he claimed it did.Aug 15 23:17

ender_33_the operating system knows everything about the drives, even what files will be damaged if there is any problemsAug 15 23:22
ender_33_it is software yesAug 15 23:22
jono_Goblin, I know what you mean, palAug 15 23:22

_GoblinSnit: sent....should be in your inbox now....enjoy!Aug 15 23:37
SnitThough it means building a bit of a temporary "coalition", though a completely open one.Aug 15 23:37
SnitThanksAug 15 23:37
SnitSo nothing hidden from anyone.Aug 15 23:37
_GoblinI used the computer guy email.Aug 15 23:38
SnitOK.Aug 15 23:38
Tom[B]Snit: shootAug 15 23:38
SnitGoblin: got the emailAug 15 23:38
_Goblin:) cool see you there!Aug 15 23:38
SnitFor one week you and I will, on the others request, ask those we disagree with to offer support for any accusation they make.Aug 15 23:38
SnitSo if Hadron claims you are lying about X, I will ask him about it and make it very clear if he backs down.Aug 15 23:39
SnitBut if RonB claims, for example, I am anti-choice, you will ask him to back it up.  Of course, we would have to give each other heads up on these things... I am not asking either of us to read very frickin' post.Aug 15 23:39
SnitJust ask those who hound us to back up their claims.  We are generally seen as being on "opposite" sides, so maybe we can get better results from our "friends".  But no letting people have any easy outs.  If Hadron says you said "X" and does not back it up I will be *very* clear with that.Aug 15 23:41
Tom[B]just to make sure: i don't /have/ any friends in colaAug 15 23:42
SnitNor I.  I am not saying I am on Hadron's "side"... I am merely noting that is often the claim.Aug 15 23:42
SnitSo you do not have to worry about upsetting any "friends" - you do not have any to start off with.Aug 15 23:43
Tom[B]hehe rightAug 15 23:43
Tom[B]but that brings us to issue #2...Aug 15 23:43
SnitOK... though I want to get back to this offer.  If you say no, so be it... but I think it would be eye opening.  You would get to see how many bizarre accusations are made against me.  Maybe I will see the same toward you.Aug 15 23:44
Tom[B]when eg RonB says you seem to be 'against choice'... well, i kind of agree with that...Aug 15 23:44
Tom[B]honestlyAug 15 23:44
Tom[B]i mean...Aug 15 23:44
Tom[B]wait, before this gets ugly...Aug 15 23:44
SnitBut I am not.  I want *more* choice.  This does not mean I do not see the downside of, say, many distros, but I am not against it - I certainly do not want any force to get rid of any.Aug 15 23:45
SnitNo, as long as you work to defend your view I do not mind disagreement... Aug 15 23:45
SnitI look forward to your caseAug 15 23:45
Tom[B]okay, great example there to get to my pointAug 15 23:45
Tom[B]you consider the huge amount of distros a weakness, while i (and many others in cola with me) consider it one of its biggest strenghtsAug 15 23:46
SnitI type miserably and I think I type faster than most in COLA ... or at least here.  :)  Anyway...Aug 15 23:46
SnitWait: I see that it has both good and bad to it.  That does not mean I think it is a "weakness".Aug 15 23:46
SnitIt hinders some things and benefits others.  That is certainly not an anti-choice stance.Aug 15 23:47
Tom[B]well, i see the 'good' and the 'bad' of it tooAug 15 23:47
SnitBut RonB usually applies this to the desktop experience, like I want everyone to have the same one.  Which is complete rubbish.Aug 15 23:47
Tom[B]but i don't care about the bad, as - to me at least - it is outweighted by the goodAug 15 23:47
Tom[B]by *far*Aug 15 23:47
SnitI can pull up quotes - but he has made up a story where I want your desktop and mine to be the same.  Which could no be further from the truth.Aug 15 23:47
SnitWhich is fine... we can have some disagreement on that.  That does not mean I think you are, for example, "pro confusion" or whatever you agree are the down sides.Aug 15 23:48
SnitWhat choice do you think I am against?  Aug 15 23:49
Tom[B]any :-pAug 15 23:49
SnitRemember: I am for *more* choice on the desktop... I want Ubuntu and Mint and Debian to be able to differentiate their experiences more than they can now.Aug 15 23:49
Tom[B]nah, just kidding of courseAug 15 23:49
SnitWell, I am against you having choice... but I meant for most people.  :)Aug 15 23:49
SnitYes... I took it that way.  And responded in kind.  :)Aug 15 23:49
SnitBack to choice: not only do I want the distros to be able to differentiate themselves more, I want the user to have more control once they get the distro in their hands.  Aug 15 23:50
*abeNd-org (~KKlenke@66.76.14.4) has joined #techrightsAug 15 23:50
Tom[B]but Debian, Ubuntu, Mint... already can differentiate /without limits/Aug 15 23:50
SnitSo I want a whole new level of choice...Aug 15 23:50
SnitAs has been noted many times, the apps and such are pretty much the same no matter what distro they are on.Aug 15 23:51
Tom[B]pretty much, yeahAug 15 23:51
SnitBut with my "vision" they would not be as similar - Debian could have Debian save and open and print dialogs... Mint can have the same... all can have their own color selectors and .... you (I hope) get the idea.Aug 15 23:52
Tom[B]yes, i do get that ideaAug 15 23:52
SnitSo, sure, the program itself would not be that different (though the placement and naming of some common menu items and the like might be different from one distro to the next).Aug 15 23:52
Tom[B]you've stated that desire many timesAug 15 23:52
SnitMore differentiation.  More choice.  More control by the distro managers and the users.Aug 15 23:52
SnitAnd hard as can be to get to.  :)Aug 15 23:52
Tom[B]impossible I sayAug 15 23:53
SnitRight - and yet the repeated lie from RonB is I want all desktops to be the same.  The exact *opposite* of my views... which, as you note, I have stated many, many times.Aug 15 23:53
Tom[B]it would require a degree of coordination that's simply not possible in F/OSSAug 15 23:54

SnitSo, TomB, what do you say about my request.  Aug 15 23:54
Tom[B]let's seeAug 15 23:54
SnitAnd nothing hidden from anyone (heck, this is being recorded and will be posted by Roy... I do not care if you or others post this to COLA)Aug 15 23:55
Tom[B]if i understand correctly, i wouldn't have to reply to you in cola right?Aug 15 23:55
Tom[B]because that i won't do anymoreAug 15 23:55
SnitHmmm... no.Aug 15 23:55
Tom[B]okay, you've got yourself a deal thenAug 15 23:55
SnitOK... though you would have to read my posts or give me some other way to ask you to take someone to task.Aug 15 23:55
SnitI could even start the posts with Ping: TomB... so you do not have to read all of my posts.  And ask you to do the same...Aug 15 23:56
SnitOr some other way to get my attention on it.Aug 15 23:56
Tom[B]nah, too disruptiveAug 15 23:56
SnitThank you for accepting this... I did not expect you to.Aug 15 23:56
SnitOK, so how can we "alert" each other?Aug 15 23:57
SnitI do not mind emailAug 15 23:57
SnitBut that seems "sneaky"... not trying to do anything behind anyone's back.  Aug 15 23:57
Tom[B]nah, to much work (i'm lazy)Aug 15 23:57
SnitLOL!  Fair enough... so what do you suggest?Aug 15 23:57
SnitI have my client set to show me when my name is mentioned - so if you just ask "Snit, can you ask so-and-so to support that claim" I should see it.Aug 15 23:58
SnitOh and I would say it is not fair for either of us to pull up an old claim and ask the other to get involved with an old debate.  Though it would be fun if I did that.  :)Aug 15 23:59
