schestowitzI have corrected the text at http://techrights.org/2013/07/04/techbytes-episode-80-richard-stallman-on-universal-back-door-in-microsoft-windows-and-his-search-engine-habits/ and also at http://bytesmedia.co.uk/2013/07/04/security-and-web-anonymity/Jul 08 02:14
schestowitzThe biggest mistake I made is that I recorded the conversation using a microphone attacked to the handset. Had we recorded over SIP, there would be no issues interpreting the words, even without context.Jul 08 02:14
schestowitzDo you think there would be an opportunity for a one-on-one one-hour interview in the UK? I could capture video too, encoding it as Ogg Theora later, using ffmpeg (Android uses MPEG by default, there's no way around that unless one writes an 'app').Jul 08 02:14

schestowitzSeveral years ago you did a video interview with Christian Einfeldt, who is an online friend of mine from California. 5 years ago I shared the videos he had made over at Techrights, one segment per day. To capture ideas in this form is important as the fundamental concepts barely change over time and this is the richest form in which to preserve them before ours mind focus on other subjects. I've been trying to cover many different Jul 08 02:14
