schestowitzGoDaddy CEO Warren Adelman says “We listened to our customers. GoDaddy no longer supports SOPA.” (Here’s the GoDaddy blog post.)Dec 24 01:24
schestowitzLauren Weinstein says that’s not the same as opposing SOPA: “they’re the same ethically vacuous firm as always, with their public facade changing like a chameleon, blowing in the wind of Internet public opinion.”Dec 24 01:24
schestowitzI still see it as a good sign when a company in a direct personal service business changes its mind because its customers made clear that change was required.Dec 24 01:24
schestowitzWhat I’d like to know now is what GoDaddy customers said to the company personally. (Not just that customers pulled their accounts in protest.) When I know that Warren Adelman and the company turned around because of direct personal pressure, in real conversation with paying customers who wished to remain so — and not just because of negative PR or customers bailing — then I’ll be glad to call it a full VRM move by customers.Dec 24 01:24

Diablo-D3never plug a computer into a wall.Dec 24 02:12
scientesthis computer is pretty unstable for some reason, perhaps i should test the ramDec 24 02:12

Diablo-D3its purely an insurance policy.Dec 24 02:13
scientesthe UPS is overkill is most casesDec 24 02:13
Diablo-D3not quiteDec 24 02:13
scientesthey are also horribly noisyDec 24 02:13
scientesI couldn't have one in my room cause it made this constant clicking noiseDec 24 02:14
Diablo-D3I wanted a double converter, but a stand alone cost as much as an UPS that does itDec 24 02:14
Diablo-D3scientes: erDec 24 02:14
Diablo-D3my UPS is silentDec 24 02:14
Diablo-D3it has a fan controller that watches temp instead of runs at 100% all the timeDec 24 02:14
Diablo-D3the fan is usually off unless it exceeds 85f in my roomDec 24 02:15
Diablo-D3then it becomes almost silentDec 24 02:15
Diablo-D3Ive never been able to get it to ramp up full speedDec 24 02:15
Diablo-D3scientes: at any rate, the reason I use a brickwall and a double converting UPS is to filterout _everything_Dec 24 02:16
Diablo-D3when you're doing software development, you need a nearly perfect box.Dec 24 02:16
Diablo-D3I have battled the catalyst driver far more than you ever willDec 24 02:17
*Diablo-D3 is a developer of an opencl appDec 24 02:17
Diablo-D3I can tell you catalyst does not randomly crashDec 24 02:17
scientesoh ok i believe youDec 24 02:18
scientesso why is this computer unstable?Dec 24 02:18
Diablo-D3who knowsDec 24 02:18
Diablo-D3bad power input, PSU going, improperly seated RAM, overheating components, overheating gpu, etcDec 24 02:18
scientesi doubt it is overheatingDec 24 02:18
Diablo-D3Im not saying catalyst cant crash, but the way to make it crash is non-randomDec 24 02:19
scienteswhen nvidia use to crash it only took down X11Dec 24 02:19
scientesI use to have that enough that it was annoyingDec 24 02:19
Diablo-D3catalyst on linux doesnt have a hardware watchdogDec 24 02:19
scientesalso firefox use to crash pretty soon after 2GB RAM, don't know if that was fixedDec 24 02:19

DaemonFCYou know that a lot of companies that now have support for free media codecs in their players also have patents in the MPEG poolDec 24 03:51

DaemonFCwhat Apache 2.0 would do is, if their competitor bought a cheap little portable audio player from the company that wants to sue them, the lawsuit disappearsDec 24 03:53

DaemonFCuefi has a few benefits for the userDec 24 06:06
DaemonFCand even more drawbacksDec 24 06:07
DaemonFCCoreboot is a worthy BIOS replacement that removes a lot of the functional problems of BIOSDec 24 06:07
DaemonFCwithout imposing additional user restrictionsDec 24 06:07
DaemonFCbut their project is smallDec 24 06:07
DaemonFCand it only works on a very few motherboardsDec 24 06:08
DaemonFCconsidering that there are literally thousands of different motherboards and Coreboot only works on just over a hundredDec 24 06:08
DaemonFCand the ones it works with might not support every feature of that boardDec 24 06:08
DaemonFCand you risk turning a working PC into a brickDec 24 06:08
DaemonFCand the boards it supports tend to be ones that are a few years old at bestDec 24 06:09
DaemonFCit's not just a drop in replacement for any board you're likely to buy todayDec 24 06:09
DaemonFCand that's really the only downside to itDec 24 06:09
scientesDaemonFC, AMD is fully behind coreboot, it is Intel that is purposefully stalling itDec 24 06:10
DaemonFCif you want a free firmware, your options of motherboard is severely limitedDec 24 06:10
DaemonFCIntel has no official support for itDec 24 06:10
DaemonFCAMD is only half-committed to itDec 24 06:10
scientesthey actively try to detract from itDec 24 06:11
DaemonFCand motherboard companies get the final say in what the user ends up withDec 24 06:11
scientesI could see coreboot catching on, until then, I am staying as far away from uefi as I can----it was such a pain getting stuck in boot mode on a mac with an ubuntu cdDec 24 06:11
DaemonFCthe BIOS problem from the user's point of view, is when the BIOS has bugs that cause hardware malfunctionsDec 24 06:12
DaemonFCthe user can't fix themDec 24 06:12
DaemonFCand the manufacturer says "we only support Windows"Dec 24 06:12
DaemonFCand even that has problems sometimesDec 24 06:12
DaemonFCthey only really test to make sure Windows boots and basically worksDec 24 06:12
DaemonFCthere's no guarantee that it won't give you problems with WindowsDec 24 06:12
DaemonFCand there's no guarantee that the board vendor will be interested in fixing them thereDec 24 06:13
DaemonFCbecause you're already stuck with itDec 24 06:13
DaemonFCit costs them money to fix their bugsDec 24 06:13
DaemonFCand gains them nothing since you already paid themDec 24 06:13
DaemonFCcustomer goodwill is a thing of the pastDec 24 06:14
DaemonFCthe hardware companies have banded together to have similar policies on bugs and how not to support users that come across themDec 24 06:14
DaemonFCso often the only solution to buggy hardware is to buy competing hardware with different bugsDec 24 06:14
scientesCOREBOOT COREBOOT COREBOOT COREBOOTDec 24 06:15

DaemonFCCoreboot is only a solution where it worksDec 24 06:15
scientesthey then dont have to deal with development any moreDec 24 06:15
DaemonFCobviously the big hardware companies don't want it toDec 24 06:15
scientesless expense and the community fixes their bugsDec 24 06:15
DaemonFCor they would throw some money at itDec 24 06:15
DaemonFCand it would workDec 24 06:16
scientesor just release their docs, which intel wont doDec 24 06:16
DaemonFCjust getting Intel to release their firmware under proprietary but redistributable licensing is an uphill battleDec 24 06:16
DaemonFCwhich only works some of the time'Dec 24 06:16
DaemonFCoften the firmware that comes with Linux isn't even redistributable for allDec 24 06:17
DaemonFConly LinuxDec 24 06:17
DaemonFCwhich I think is a bad compromise but Linux developers get their shit working and then don't care what the other free OS kernels have to doDec 24 06:17
DaemonFCit's extremely unfortunateDec 24 06:18
scientesthe "only Linux" is where I would cross the lineDec 24 06:18
DaemonFCyou should read OpenBSD's problems sometimeDec 24 06:18
scientesthats like a girl saying "Just for you"Dec 24 06:18
DaemonFCsometimes reverse engineering means they had to deobfuscate a Linux driverDec 24 06:18
DaemonFCthat was written under NDADec 24 06:18
scientesthat shit should be purged and the distros should refuse to package itDec 24 06:19
DaemonFCor come up with their own firmware because Intel or someone won't let them use the same nonfree firmware that comes with LinuxDec 24 06:19
DaemonFCso Linux driver code, not even counting the firmware, isn't always that openDec 24 06:20
scienteson the other hand, I browsed debian's non-free repo, and most the stuff in there is pretty sensibleDec 24 06:20
DaemonFCsometimes there's obfucation involvedDec 24 06:20
scienteslike worldwind, or non-free tide data from backwards countries like the UKDec 24 06:20
DaemonFCor it does something that only the Linux developer knows why because he has documentation that nobody else can readDec 24 06:20
DaemonFCor there's a string of magic numbers that nobody knows what they doDec 24 06:20
DaemonFC:)Dec 24 06:20
scientesI was thinking there should be a wikipedia article on "progressive policies of USA"----no copyright for fed government for exampleDec 24 06:21
DaemonFCthe GPL isn't a huge obstacle by itself to a driver being made available in a BSD kernelDec 24 06:21
scientesDMCA safeharbor Dec 24 06:21
DaemonFCbut when they can't get documentationDec 24 06:21
DaemonFCor the GPL'd code is obfuscated Dec 24 06:21
DaemonFCthat's when it becomes a challenge Dec 24 06:21
DaemonFCfirmware is another problem entirelyDec 24 06:22
scienteswe could brainstorm half a dozen more----all the nader stuff--Clean Water act, clean air act, osha,---also earlier stuff like FDA, inititive processesDec 24 06:22
DaemonFCbecause having a functional driver and no firmware to initialize the device with doesn't help you eitherDec 24 06:22
scientesits hard to cover culture in a wiki, or any form of journalism, but i think this would be a good articleDec 24 06:22
scientesand then do it for other countriesDec 24 06:23
DaemonFCAMD made their Radeon firmware distributable by allDec 24 06:23
DaemonFCand their CPU firmware tooDec 24 06:23
DaemonFCit's proprietary but anyone can include and use it to bring up AMD's hardwareDec 24 06:23
DaemonFCthat alone is better than what you come across with many companiesDec 24 06:23
scientesIndia's alternative process patents (e.g. chemical manufacturing) rather than substance-based (not anymore)Dec 24 06:23
scientesit could get countreversial---i.e. china 1 child; but would be great way to kind of focus on the positive, and also value things that are truely good about ones government/culture, but to which we might not notice (because they don't suck)Dec 24 06:25
