schestowitzthere are USB installers nowNov 05 00:26
schestowitzyou just need a spare connected PCNov 05 00:26
DaemonFCright, but it's cheaper to burn a CDNov 05 00:26
DaemonFCthan to use up the writes on your flash drive before it wears outNov 05 00:26
schestowitzNot necessarilyNov 05 00:26

schestowitzwhat about cdrw?Nov 05 00:27
DaemonFCCD RWs have disadvantagesNov 05 00:27
DaemonFCthey're slower to burn to Nov 05 00:28
DaemonFCthey have to be erased before they can be re-burnedNov 05 00:28
DaemonFCthey're more expensive than a CD-RNov 05 00:28
DaemonFCthey put increased wear on your drive vs. burning a new CD-RNov 05 00:28
DaemonFCCD RWs aren't really all that popular because they're expensive and inconvenient compared to CD-RNov 05 00:28
DaemonFCand, they have a limit to maybe 100 writes per sector iircNov 05 00:29
DaemonFCso eventually the disc will start to have bad spots and will be trash anywayNov 05 00:29
DaemonFCI find that nothing beats a CD-R for trying out Linux distributionsNov 05 00:30
DaemonFCI certainly don't want to start going through thumb drives faster because I decided to wear out a $30 flash drive vs. a 12 cent CDNov 05 00:31

DaemonFCThe Mono project is led by a Microsoft MVP, it clones a Microsoft API, it is infringing Microsoft patents, it is promoted by a company that admits it is "open core" (which precludes there being a real community around it).Nov 05 00:43
DaemonFCWhat I have seen them do is slither around in sites like this, to troll anyone who tells the truth about Mono, and to pretend to be Joe User when they want to rubber stamp something that (let's face it) Microsoft pays them to work on through Novell and now through the mysterious investor funding Xamarin. (Gee, I wonder who that could be) :)Nov 05 00:43
DaemonFCTheir job at "Xamarin" is to continue making Linux distributions depend on software that Microsoft reserves the right to sue over.Nov 05 00:43

schestowitzAt a capacity equal to what benefits payNov 05 02:42
schestowitzor lessNov 05 02:42
DaemonFCthey don't count people over 65 as being unemployed even if they don't workNov 05 02:43
schestowitzso it's cheaper for them to keep the people pseudo-workingNov 05 02:43
DaemonFCbut if they do work, they're taking a job that could be given to someone else AND getting a social security checkNov 05 02:43
DaemonFCyayNov 05 02:43
schestowitzDaemonFC: or if they lack a pension -- that's classified as another categoryNov 05 02:43

DaemonFCif you want to work, stop taking social securityNov 05 02:44
DaemonFCthey get to have their cake and eat it tooNov 05 02:44
DaemonFCthey figure out ways to game the system so they always make a little less than the threshold where they have to start paying back a little of their social security checkNov 05 02:44

schestowitzdependsNov 05 02:46
schestowitzif you're your age and uemployed in Indiana, how much does your govt pay you a week?Nov 05 02:47
DaemonFCit has nothing to do with age during your "working years"Nov 05 02:47
schestowitzif you own a house or stay in one, social security might cover the rest (food, bills)Nov 05 02:47
DaemonFCit's a percentage of your average income over the last year Nov 05 02:47
DaemonFClike 72% iircNov 05 02:47
schestowitzthat's too muchNov 05 02:48
DaemonFCand it only lasts for a maximum of 6 months unless some law gets passed saying you get an extension Nov 05 02:48
schestowitzmaybe your system pampers youNov 05 02:48
schestowitzno wonder the US goes bankruptNov 05 02:48
DaemonFCI wouldn't say thatNov 05 02:48
*bluebomber has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)Nov 05 02:48
DaemonFCit takes a year to find an acceptable job, but the unemployment fund only gives you barely enough to live on for 6 monthsNov 05 02:49
DaemonFCyou're not living like a rock starNov 05 02:49
DaemonFCyou're living in fear that you're about to lose everything any day nowNov 05 02:49
DaemonFCif anything, I think the unemployment system is too stingyNov 05 02:49
DaemonFCand the reason for that is corporate lobbyists who convince politicians to lower the unemployment tax that companies have to payNov 05 02:50
DaemonFCthen they fire everyone and the state has to take foreign loans to fill the unemployment coffersNov 05 02:50
DaemonFCit means that the employer can get away with paying almost no unemployment insurance tax, fire everyone and move to China one day, and dump every worker they had onto an unfunded state mandateNov 05 02:51
DaemonFCI say tax the fuck out of themNov 05 02:51
DaemonFCthe difference between a 3 and 5% unemployment insurance tax is not going to be the tipping point that makes them move to ChinaNov 05 02:52
DaemonFCit just means they don't get away with pawning all their victims onto the state for the next six months when they goNov 05 02:52
DaemonFCthese greedy parasites that run companies like Walmart want the vast majority of the US to be poor and depend on them, the worse the economy gets, the better Walmart doesNov 05 02:53
DaemonFCbecause it means more people who have to take bad jobs thereNov 05 02:53
DaemonFCand more people that depend on groceries that cost 5-10% less than in the supermarkets across town that pay their workers betterNov 05 02:53
DaemonFCWalmart consistently makes about $10 BILLION a year in net profitNov 05 02:56
DaemonFCthat's after all costs of businessNov 05 02:56
DaemonFCafter ALL taxesNov 05 02:57
DaemonFCafter everythingNov 05 02:57
DaemonFCif they put just 10% of that net profit towards worker wage increases, they could give every one of their hourly workers more than an additional $2 or so an hour Nov 05 02:57
DaemonFCit may not sound like a lotNov 05 02:58
schestowitzwhen work security is poor, they canNov 05 02:58
DaemonFCbut it can mean the difference between which side of the poverty line they end up onNov 05 02:58
schestowitzin fact, they can do lots of stuffNov 05 02:58
DaemonFCit's good for business to fuck the workers and tell them to go ask for food stamps and medicaidNov 05 02:58
DaemonFCschestowitz: Walmart is a truly disgusting company, they make Microsoft look divine in comparisonNov 05 03:00
azalyni hear costco has a better way of doing things. they treat employees fairly from what i heard.Nov 05 03:00
DaemonFCI can't recall the last time Microsoft called a meeting and told anyone who worked there to go stand in the government cheese lineNov 05 03:00
azalyni read an article that said that some shareholders feel it's better to be an employee of costco, than a shareholderNov 05 03:00
azalynbut of course, that's just shareholders being a bunch of whiny little bitches, as usual.Nov 05 03:00
DaemonFCthe UK has Walmart, and you were fools to let them in if they can operate anything like they do in the United StatesNov 05 03:00
DaemonFCYou call them ASDA because they bought ASDA to get around some kind of ban on Walmart thereNov 05 03:01
azalynmicrosoft is more dangerous than walmart however.Nov 05 03:01
DaemonFCI doubt thatNov 05 03:01
azalynlong-term, i don't see walmart having any power whatsoever in terms of making the world better or worse.Nov 05 03:01
azalynwhere as microsoft could very well doom us.Nov 05 03:02
DaemonFCWalmart is one of the biggest leeches on the United States economyNov 05 03:02
azalynIT is the most important thing since the printing press. it is *vital* that information remain freely exchangeable.Nov 05 03:02

azalynand if microsoft succeeds to retain control, we will all be locked into one vendor. and have tivoized DRM'd platforms. and even the internet will become locked down.Nov 05 03:03
DaemonFCWalmart makes the world worseNov 05 03:03
DaemonFCit impoverishes people and disempowers workers in any country it does anything inNov 05 03:03
DaemonFCdirectly or indirectlyNov 05 03:03
azalynthat's such a small concern. i'm not saying it's not important, but you seem to underestimate the damage that can be done by locked platforms.Nov 05 03:04
azalyncomputers have the potential to destroy governments, to start revolutions, to change the world for the better.Nov 05 03:04
DaemonFCI'm not arguing for giving people that mop floors and stock shelves a super high wage, just one they can live onNov 05 03:04
DaemonFCif that's what they're sentenced to do for the rest of their life, at least let them have some quality of lifeNov 05 03:05
azalyni'm not saying i don't feel bad for those people, but i'm saying we have larger battles to fight.Nov 05 03:05
DaemonFCWalmart could afford itNov 05 03:05
DaemonFCand shame on us for letting them not do itNov 05 03:05
azalyni would rather outsource even more work to china, rather than allow microsoft to control the future of computing. or apple for that matter. they are so much more dangerous.Nov 05 03:06
DaemonFCApple and Microsoft are part of the problemNov 05 03:06
azalynwalmart threatens our wallets, but microsoft and apple threaten our free speech.Nov 05 03:06
DaemonFCcomparing them to Walmart doesn't disregard thatNov 05 03:06
DaemonFCI'm wondering which is worseNov 05 03:06
azalynand free speech is more important than anything, more important than life and death.Nov 05 03:06
DaemonFCit would be nice if they could both disappear tomorrowNov 05 03:07
azalynlosing free speech, would create a dystopian future. where our thoughts are controlled and moderated by the government.Nov 05 03:07

DaemonFCazalyn: ACTA is unacceptableNov 05 03:08
DaemonFCbut it seems like the damage is at least contained to corporate worksNov 05 03:09
DaemonFCit won't stop freedom of speechNov 05 03:09
DaemonFCit will just stain itNov 05 03:09
azalynno, you're not understanding the full impact.Nov 05 03:09
azalynremember secure boot?Nov 05 03:09
azalynmicrosoft can extend the chain of trust of secure boot all the way into the OSNov 05 03:09
azalynand one day prevent you from installing unsigned code.Nov 05 03:09
azalynlike on iOS right nowNov 05 03:09
DaemonFCI'm thinking there's more hyperbole than fact behind thatNov 05 03:09
DaemonFCHP and Dell both ship more computers between them in the US than all the other OEMs combined Nov 05 03:10
DaemonFCand both say they will let the user disable itNov 05 03:10
azalynDaemonFC: that's incorrect though. the fact is that the platform allows this. you should not be so complacent.Nov 05 03:10
DaemonFCso maybe your Linux distribution can use itNov 05 03:10
DaemonFCand if it can't, just turn it offNov 05 03:10
azalynyes, on ALL their computers? and forever?Nov 05 03:10
azalynor just on high end workstations?Nov 05 03:11
DaemonFCpersonally, I'd rather use it than disable itNov 05 03:11
azalynin theory they can extend the chain of trust into the internet..Nov 05 03:11
DaemonFCbut I'll try to avoid anything that doesn't let me disable itNov 05 03:11
azalynand prevent unsigned websites from existingNov 05 03:11
DaemonFCa lot of those GPL issues would go away if distributions jsut used LILONov 05 03:12
DaemonFCand signed thatNov 05 03:12
azalynDaemonFC: the problem is that to sign it we'd need microsoft's key.Nov 05 03:12
azalynand you're ignoring everything i'm saying.Nov 05 03:12
azalynthis isn't just a bootloader issueNov 05 03:12
DaemonFCnot necessarilyNov 05 03:12
azalynthink about it..Nov 05 03:12
DaemonFCsome will ship with a setup modeNov 05 03:12
DaemonFCin addition to turning it on or off you can put it in setup mode and install new keysNov 05 03:13

DaemonFCbut you won't be able to use that and comply with the GPL 3Nov 05 03:13
azalynUEFI requires that the bootloader be signed... then the bootloader could require the OS to be signed... which in turn requires all drivers and applications to be signed..Nov 05 03:13
DaemonFCso you'd have to use GRUB Legacy or LILONov 05 03:13
azalynand which in turn IE would require the internet websites to be signed.Nov 05 03:13
DaemonFCI think this is mainly just going to be another step to go through before installing LinuxNov 05 03:14
DaemonFCGo into setup and flip secure boot to offNov 05 03:14
azalynyou're ignoring everything i'm saying. :|Nov 05 03:14
DaemonFCthat's enough in itself that even if every firmware allows it, it would stifle most people from trying LinuxNov 05 03:14
DaemonFCnot only because of concerns about going into the firmware setupNov 05 03:14
DaemonFCbut by disabling something calling itself "secure boot"Nov 05 03:15
azalynthere's another problem. hardware vendors long-term will *want* to lock linux out.Nov 05 03:15
schestowitzSicker bootNov 05 03:15
azalynbecause see, microsoft can provide something that linux can.Nov 05 03:15

azalynlinux can't**Nov 05 03:15
schestowitzvirusesNov 05 03:16
DaemonFCit owuld be better if they called it Verified Boot PathNov 05 03:16
azalynmicrosoft can stop updating their OS eventually, and then people will be forced to buy a new computer. microsoft could just say "we won't allow windows 9 to work on windows 8 machines"Nov 05 03:16
DaemonFCcalling it secure boot implies that you're less safe by turning it offNov 05 03:16
Diablo-D3yes butNov 05 03:16
Diablo-D3who runs windows natively on a machine?Nov 05 03:16

MinceRthere's no hard dependency in debianNov 05 13:32
gulzarMinceR: it is KDE based forked from Mandriva... as far as I know but similar project PClinux OS is also there with gud apps and better supportNov 05 13:33
MinceRgnome depends on tomboy but that can be fulfilled via gnoteNov 05 13:33
MinceRhowever, the installer does not do that by default and does not let you chooseNov 05 13:33
gulzarcubezzz: right gnome is free till date but debian is notNov 05 13:33
MinceRso if you do an install that includes the gui, it will install tomboy, which pulls in monoNov 05 13:33
MinceRthen you can replace it with gnote and remove monoNov 05 13:33
cubezzzhmmmNov 05 13:33
gulzarMinceR: right...Nov 05 13:33
MinceRafaict tomboy is an official component of gnome currentlyNov 05 13:33
cubezzzMinceR, except if you run old debianNov 05 13:34
cubezzzas I run a lot of old stuffNov 05 13:34
MinceRwell yes, old stuff is another wayNov 05 13:34
gulzarMinceR: and tomboy being like this is due to NOVELL beacuse they develop gnome?? My guessNov 05 13:34
MinceRit's due to a couple of people who try everything to make GNU/Linux depend on monoNov 05 13:34
MinceRand some more people who think that mono is safe despite all evidence to the contraryNov 05 13:35

gulzarMinceR: but as such with Win8 MS is moving towards HTML5 and is not intereted in .net then why to promote it in LinuxNov 05 13:35
MinceRbecause .net depends on software patents m$ owns and could use to attack GNU/LinuxNov 05 13:36
MinceRand i doubt that m$ is moving towards HTML5, it's more likely they're moving towards m$HTML5Nov 05 13:36

cubezzzor LFS.... crazy but hardcoreNov 05 13:36
gulzarMinceR: Oh right its M$HTML5Nov 05 13:37
MinceRor you can install debian without gui and then install whatever desktop environment you want by hand, and watch out for monoNov 05 13:37
cubezzzyeahNov 05 13:37
cubezzzthat's not a bad ideaNov 05 13:37
gulzarMinceR: umm debian 6 comes with Ooo defaultNov 05 13:38
cubezzzgulzar, why wait on openbsd? You can run 4.9, 4.8 etcNov 05 13:38

azalynthe current economic system is also completely incapable of attacking large projects. like space elevators for example. in theory we have the technology to begin working on space colonization.. but money stands in the way, the projects simply cost far too much to make a return on investment.Nov 05 18:16

azalynand cost even more than the government's ability to fund them.Nov 05 18:16

azalynif it wasn't for this fact, we'd probably already have cured AIDS, or at the very least, we'd be much closer than we are.Nov 05 18:18
azalynthere is no economic incentive to cure the sick. so how can a private healthcare and pharmaceutical industry work?Nov 05 18:18
azalynand the governments of the world are in recession and getting poorer and poorer.. so how can *they* fund healthcare in the future?Nov 05 18:19

DaemonFCThis does remind me of when 3dfx started to go underNov 05 18:58
DaemonFCthe only Windows NT support for any of their cards was a beta Windows 2000 driver that leaked before they went bankrupt that just barely works under Windows XPNov 05 18:58
DaemonFCbut more than 10 years later, you can still use a Voodoo card under LinuxNov 05 18:59
DaemonFCif AMD's GPU division went under today, Windows 8 wouldn't have support for any of their current hardware, save for if Windows 7 drivers kind of still workedNov 05 19:00
cubezzzor a Matrox G200Nov 05 19:00
DaemonFCit's actually Windows users that are taking a larger risk of hardware companies throwing their product line under the bus or going out of businessNov 05 19:00
cubezzzor an ATI VGA wonder+ Nov 05 19:00
DaemonFChardware goes on for years under Linux even without the manufacturer still being around or supporting itNov 05 19:01
DaemonFCeven doing things it was never designed to doNov 05 19:01
DaemonFCin Windows, you have to hope that the last proprietary driver they released still worksNov 05 19:01
DaemonFCWindows 9x style video drivers only had kernel mode setting in the very loosest senseNov 05 19:02
DaemonFCin, Windows itself did nothingNov 05 19:02
DaemonFCthe manufacturer's blob patched the kernel and ran from thereNov 05 19:02
DaemonFC:)Nov 05 19:02
DaemonFCit didn't always work out so well Nov 05 19:03
cubezzzgoin' fire up the ol' 500 now :)Nov 05 19:03
DaemonFCthat's still where we are with proprietary video drivers in LinuxNov 05 19:03
DaemonFConly it's worseNov 05 19:03
DaemonFCbecause the mode setting code it actually independent of the kernelNov 05 19:03
DaemonFCthe kernel has no idea what is happeningNov 05 19:04
DaemonFCthey're actually running the X server as root and running the hardware mode from thereNov 05 19:04
DaemonFCthe only kernel component is a framebuffer driverNov 05 19:04
DaemonFCand when you sleep or resume or change virtual terminals, anything can happenNov 05 19:05
DaemonFC:)Nov 05 19:05
DaemonFCin my case, Catalyst sometimes can't get X to restore the proper video mode and I get a blank screenNov 05 19:05
DaemonFCor I go to switch virtual terminals and the switch never happens and the system hangsNov 05 19:06

XFaCEXFaCE (1 day ago): Though I'm glad the difference between theft and copyright infringement is being firmly established in this article, I disapprove of that other nonsense metaphor of the term "piracy". How exactly can one equate Somalia Pirates for example, with the common user of the "Pirate" Bay? "Piracy" when used in this context is just as bad and perhaps even worse. There is the unfortunate trend where completely separate and indiNov 05 21:43
XFaCEvidual actions and laws get mixed in with this nonsense, and we end up with patent infringement being labelled "piracy" as well. "Intellectual property", "piracy", and other such glorifications should be also ignored where law is concerned. You might as well call cracking someone else's computer "rape" or replacing someone's desktop wallpaper as a joke "vandalism". Nov 05 21:43

DaemonFCvulnerabilities in plug-ins Microsoft installsNov 05 21:57
DaemonFCetc.Nov 05 21:57
DaemonFCso it seems that Firefox is not a catch all solution to the problem anymore on WindowsNov 05 21:58
DaemonFCbecause Microsoft injects vulnerabilities into it in the form of plug-ins they don't ask if it's OK to install into itNov 05 21:58
DaemonFCMozilla has gotten pissed about thisNov 05 21:58
MinceRtime to pair it up with GNU/Linux, thenNov 05 21:58
DaemonFCand Firefox 8 will disable add-ons you didn't install and ask you about what to do with them nowNov 05 21:58
DaemonFCeven though they don't mention Microsoft by name, it's clear what provoked thisNov 05 21:59
DaemonFCif you don't know where it came from, you should leave them disabledNov 05 22:00
DaemonFCit will be interesting what behavior this causes in clueless users who don't know what to doNov 05 22:00
MinceRit means m$ will take one more step in meddling with settingsNov 05 22:01
DaemonFCyou mean they'll forge the installation record to make it say the user installed itNov 05 22:02
DaemonFCso it never asks what to doNov 05 22:02
MinceRif that's what gets checked, then yes :>Nov 05 22:02
MinceRor they'll "patch" the executableNov 05 22:03
MinceRstill, it's a good thing to do this because this way m$ keeps making more evidence against themselvesNov 05 22:03
