| schestowitz | This afternoon I met my friend Prof. Brookes, who visits Asia several times per year and has been to HK about 50 times (he goes to China again next month). He explained to me all about nations in the East from many perspectives - people, lifestyle, jobs, weather, family values. | Mar 10 17:13 |
| schestowitz | I might consider going somewhere without Tony.. :-) | Mar 10 17:13 |
| schestowitz | It is always curious to hear the opinion of people with background similar to my own (I have known this man for a decade, he is retired now) and it helps makes rational decisions based on another person's judgment and experience, including awareness of my own character. | Mar 10 17:13 |
| schestowitz | So, Chris Brookes spoke of how in Singapore the official language is English and in fact it is spoken better than in here. He also is impressed with Shanghai and states that HK is super-expensive, yet an area of constant expansion. | Mar 10 17:14 |
| schestowitz | We also spoke about sports in the area and what's preferred in that respect. Other than that, today I did some exercise and swam, then rushed back home. Mike was called in to work on Saturday, which he was obviously upset about. Some people's employers abuse their workforce like this. Not that it's any different in other countries... | Mar 10 17:14 |
| schestowitz | My friend Jimmy and I then had a conversation mostly about HK because this is the place he knows and some of of his friends are going there (he says it's not so expensive if one lives outside the main areas, which are mostly for financial markets). | Mar 10 17:15 |
| schestowitz | David, who is near his retirement age (I have known him for almost a decade too and he loved talking with me), spoke of expansion in Asia as well. He is a big businessman her and he travels to Asia a lot. | Mar 10 17:16 |
| schestowitz | I had to rush back because I got caught up in a very long conversation with him - and he's very time-conscious by the way, not when it comes to topics like these. | Mar 10 17:16 |

| schestowitz | I see... but not sure why | Mar 10 17:54 |
| qu1j0t3 | like 99% of north american immigrants. | Mar 10 17:54 |

| qu1j0t3 | i am not convinced they're doing better | Mar 10 17:54 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's a subsistence life here for them. | Mar 10 17:55 |
| qu1j0t3 | ditto Australia: they are discriminated against. | Mar 10 17:55 |
| qu1j0t3 | always were. | Mar 10 17:55 |

| schestowitz | the richer parts | Mar 10 17:57 |

| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: south east asia has some appeal to me though. | Mar 10 18:25 |

| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: yeah, cities are needed for some jobs though | Mar 10 18:30 |
| schestowitz | Unless you can work over the Web | Mar 10 18:30 |
| schestowitz | for fast internet too a place near a centre may be needed | Mar 10 18:31 |

| schestowitz | It's actually quite amazing to me that I still manage to write a bit in Techrights and researching for it while juggling several jobs and a relationship, in addition to leisure stuff. I think I managed to offload a lot of the crap, like laundry and stuff. | Mar 10 18:36 |

| schestowitz | unless I ask, I know some who would willingly agree | Mar 10 18:39 |
| schestowitz | I think one of the good things there is, the way people might treat you as a foreigner | Mar 10 18:39 |
| schestowitz | I heard that in Singapore, for example, they look down on people from abroad | Mar 10 18:39 |
| qu1j0t3 | bbiab | Mar 10 18:40 |

| MinceR | let them kill each other there | Mar 10 20:25 |
| MinceR | our nazis are already planning to ship some nazis from poland to demonstrate in their favor, on taxpayer money | Mar 10 20:25 |

| qu1j0t3 | :) | Mar 10 23:32 |
| XFaCE | and now, for some further idiocy | Mar 10 23:32 |
| XFaCE | [18:21] <XFaCE> "Michael said, | Mar 10 23:32 |
| XFaCE | [18:21] <XFaCE> March 10, 2012 at 3:04 pm | Mar 10 23:32 |
| XFaCE | [18:21] <XFaCE> Wouldn’t it be great if OSS could stand on its own without fear of having to pay for the property of others’ they use. Yeah, in such a world they could take what they want and hand it out for free and pretend this was a good thing. | Mar 10 23:32 |
| XFaCE | [18:21] <XFaCE> " | Mar 10 23:32 |
| qu1j0t3 | LOL! | Mar 10 23:33 |
| qu1j0t3 | that's the problem with ignorance; it's self-supporting... | Mar 10 23:33 |
| XFaCE | Yeah | Mar 10 23:33 |
| XFaCE | Let's pick that comment apart. | Mar 10 23:33 |
| XFaCE | 1) Michael apparently assumes that it is easy to copy software from scratch. | Mar 10 23:34 |
| XFaCE | See, in Michael's world, the Free software devs are so superhuman that they can apparently reverse engineer code in a week or less | Mar 10 23:34 |
| qu1j0t3 | maybe you can ask which OSS products copy a proprietary product | Mar 10 23:35 |
| qu1j0t3 | i am having trouble thinking of a single example | Mar 10 23:35 |
| XFaCE | Or that said devs are using decompilers | Mar 10 23:35 |
| qu1j0t3 | OSS _by definition_ can't use the property of others. | Mar 10 23:35 |
| XFaCE | First suggestion is totally stupid | Mar 10 23:35 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's a legal disqualification | Mar 10 23:35 |
| XFaCE | Second suggestion is a violation of copyright | Mar 10 23:35 |
| qu1j0t3 | you have to _have_ copyright to claim an OSS license. | Mar 10 23:36 |
| qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: summary: /ignore this person | Mar 10 23:36 |
| XFaCE | yep | Mar 10 23:36 |
| XFaCE | he pollute Roy's comment section | Mar 10 23:36 |
| qu1j0t3 | clearly he has no understanding of how software is created, or what OSS products are out there. | Mar 10 23:36 |
| XFaCE | For the most part, just mention apple in a negative live, and that's like his bat signal. | Mar 10 23:36 |
| XFaCE | *light | Mar 10 23:36 |
| qu1j0t3 | so he thinks free software is copying apple? | Mar 10 23:37 |
| XFaCE | Of course, he's a fanboy | Mar 10 23:37 |
| qu1j0t3 | maybe you can point out that huge parts of OSS - including its toolchain for god's sake, and Objective C - is free software. | Mar 10 23:37 |
| XFaCE | As I said, Roy says "Apple misusing patents" and there goes Michael, pulling on his cape to stop the butthurt. | Mar 10 23:37 |
| qu1j0t3 | he probably isn't aware that gcc's Objective C system is free software???? | Mar 10 23:37 |
| qu1j0t3 | donated by NeXT as it happens | Mar 10 23:38 |
| qu1j0t3 | s/OSS/OS X/ | Mar 10 23:38 |
| XFaCE | As I said, Michael's world doesn't exist in reality | Mar 10 23:38 |
| qu1j0t3 | typo | Mar 10 23:38 |
| qu1j0t3 | ok i'm going home. bbl | Mar 10 23:38 |
