| schestowitz | [00:15] <schestowitz> I can get up to speed next week | Oct 24 07:59 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz | [00:15] <> ok | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:15] <schestowitz> in usenet, yes | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:16] <schestowitz> in usenet I wrote some provocative remarks to incite mac trolls | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:16] <schestowitz> because their inane reactions can be amusing at times | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:16] <> Unfortunately, everybody sees them. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:16] <schestowitz> It helped reinforce the claims that they treat Steve like a Holy Figure | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:16] <> That is classic trolling -- posting to get a reaction. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:17] <schestowitz> trolling the trolls? | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:17] <schestowitz> people who deails pro-Linux newsgroups with anti-Linux messages? | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:17] <> The main people -- the only people -- to be concerned about in COLA are the lurkers, the visitors. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:17] <schestowitz> It's about deterring the trolls | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:18] <> You can only deter them by pointing out -- for the microsoft ones -- that they are working for microsoft. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:18] <> That outrages them, so we know from that that it must be true. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:18] <> Heckling them doesn't accomplish anything. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:18] <> It just makes the heckler look bad to the lurkers. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:19] <> Who are there to learn about Linux. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:19] <> Over 2000 subscribed to cola via google alone. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:19] <> So we pro-Linux people need to act well there, not nasty. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:20] <> The lurkers/visitors are the important factor in cola. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz |  | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:20] <> If it weren't for them, it wouldn't matter what went on in that newsgroup. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:21] <> They are the reason why the anti-Linux propaganda there needs to be neutralized, and the propaganda agents exposed as working for microsoft. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:22] <> ANother point is that desktop/laptop Linux is still very important. That is the computer software for people who think, and who want to get a lot of real work done. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz |  | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:23] <> Tablets and phones are fine for finding out the weather and theater schedules, but for real research and creativity you need a keyboard and a good-sized display. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:24] <> Percentage stats of Linux vs MS and others are not the only important thing. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:24] <> Not many people think. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:24] <> But for those who do, they need Linux on a desktop/laptop, and always will. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz |  | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:26] <> So it is bad to quote people (I'm not saying you do -- I don't remember) who say desktop Linux is dead but it doesn't matter. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:26] <> It is not dead, and it does matter. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz |  | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:27] <> My desktop Linux system is an extension of my mind -- very important to me. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:27] <> A very large extended memory, arranged hierarchically by subject. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:28] <> Of course the Web is part of it. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:29] <> This is a great trend in human consciousness and civilization -- world-wide communication and knowledge access. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:30] <> As well as enhancement of faculties of the individual. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:31] <> It's the beginning of transhumanism, of cyborg enhancement. | Oct 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz | [00:31] <> Just no direct electrical connection to the brain yet. | Oct 24 08:00 |
| schestowitz | [00:32] <> Eventually the facilities of desktop computer will be available in a lot smaller package, which will be fine. | Oct 24 08:00 |
| schestowitz | [00:32] <> But the current tablets and phones are not that. | Oct 24 08:00 |
| schestowitz | [00:33] <> Are you still there? | Oct 24 08:00 |
| schestowitz | [00:34] <> It's ok. I don't mind yakking into the void. 8^) | Oct 24 08:00 |
