| schestowitz | [20:21] <rm> they haven't appovred any of those afaik | Oct 10 00:16 |
| schestowitz | [20:21] <sweetandy> I don't understand why people feel they need to defend Jobs as if it were they themselves | Oct 10 00:16 |
| schestowitz | [20:21] <leo_rockway> I think that saying anything different would've been hypocritical of rms. | Oct 10 00:16 |
| schestowitz | [20:22] <sweetandy> rms will fight for software freedom regardless of the circumstances, I'm convinced | Oct 10 00:16 |

| schestowitz | Unfortunately, one of her most counted-on apps will not run in Wine or Crossover. Efficient PIM is a great little all-around calendaring app with a ton of features. She has now upgraded to the full version just so she has a license, should she ever have to reinstall. I had a legit license for WinXP SP3 and I installed it via VirtualBox on her Linux side. | Oct 10 14:45 |
| schestowitz | From what I understand, she is now working more than half the time in Linux. Microsoft is in the position to abuse their customer base this way because people think they have to endure it to access their computer. | Oct 10 14:45 |

| schestowitz | I recently learned that there is an alleged leak in Wikileaks which shows Steve Jobs as HIV positive. While I don't think the evidence is necessarily authentic or that the issue is really important, it does shed light on the absence of priva | Oct 10 14:45 |
