iophkTwo things, it was 3.79 billion for the handset divisionSep 16 13:22
iophkthe rest is for a 10-year license on some patentsSep 16 13:23

iophkso the purchase price is not 7 billionSep 16 13:23
iophkthe other thing is that they had a good Meego product which should have been mentioned along with AndroidSep 16 13:23
oiaohmiophk: part of the down fall of Maemo then Meego at nokia is an interesting one.Sep 16 13:27
oiaohmiophk: same happened with symbian as well.Sep 16 13:28
oiaohmiophk: If nokia a main support does not have faith in something no one else can.Sep 16 13:29
iophkYeah Elop turned away from both Symbian (OSS) and Meego (OSS)Sep 16 13:33
iophkSymbian was starting to be on the way out, but had a few years left in it.Sep 16 13:33
iophkThe way he cut it loose was a disaster. Sep 16 13:33
iophkThen Meego was just starting to gain ground and compared very favorably to iPhone.Sep 16 13:33
iophkTomi Ahonen has written a lot about it.  But my concern there is that the articles are dropping key facts.Sep 16 13:34
iophkthat last one looked like an omission.Sep 16 13:34
iophkBut others have looked more like revisionism.Sep 16 13:34
oiaohmSymbian was in trouble because of lacking up stream hardware  maker support.Sep 16 13:36
oiaohmNokia never tried a symbian userspace on a Linux kernel.  In theory possible.Sep 16 13:36
oiaohmInstead Nokia took the path of converting symbian interface to QtSep 16 13:37
oiaohmHow to ruin thing completley was not demarding QT support on Windows Phone.Sep 16 13:37
iophkWindows Phone was (is) dead no matter what is done.  M$ might pump a lot of money into it, but just how much will be harder to track now that it is an in-house operation.Sep 16 13:38
iophkSymbian could have been wrapped up better so that a smooth transition could have been made.Sep 16 13:39
iophkWindows Phone will be the Zune or the Kin of the smartphone world.Sep 16 13:39
iophkI'm still not sure of the attraction of smartphones in general. Who needs a phone that has to be recharged every day?Sep 16 13:40
oiaohmiophk: I have a cheap chininse phone with larger screen than samsung note with 4 days battery life in usage.Sep 16 13:41
iophkWhich brand, if I may ask?Sep 16 13:42
iophkhttp://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2013/09/bizarre-comment-by-nokia-in-response-to-an-article-about-me-as-i-have-never-been-marketing-manager-a.htmlSep 16 13:43
iophkNokia is starting to dirty like M$ alreadySep 16 13:44
oiaohmiophk: annoying our own company logo is on them.Sep 16 13:44
oiaohmiophk: yes I forgot what they are when they are not customised with logo.Sep 16 13:45
iophkMaybe inside under the battery it says what it is?  That is if you can afford to turn it off and check.Sep 16 13:45
oiaohmiophk: 200 AUD without custom logo 220 AUD with custom logo.  Under battery will say foxcomm.Sep 16 13:46
oiaohmiophk: and our company name.Sep 16 13:46
oiaohmiophk: the sod is a nice duel sim phone as well.Sep 16 13:47
oiaohmandrid 4.2Sep 16 13:47
oiaohmiophk: I am really interested to see what the phone I have does with Android 4.3 that is may times more power effective.Sep 16 13:59
iophkIsn't 4.3 (jellybean) already out?Sep 16 13:59
iophkHow difficult are the upgrades to do?Sep 16 14:00
oiaohm24 July 2013 is when jellybean was offically released.Sep 16 14:01
oiaohmiophk: hardware makers updates of coruse can be 6 months latter.Sep 16 14:01

sebsebsebiophk: I got given some old free tech the other weekSep 16 14:32
iophkWhat's it like?Sep 16 14:33
sebsebsebiophk: what's inteersting is that someone else wants the Dbox badlySep 16 14:33
*oiaohm has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)Sep 16 14:38
iophkWhat's a dbox?Sep 16 14:43
sebsebsebiophk: oh some old cable or stable box or somethingSep 16 14:44

sebsebsebiophk: probably something for afterSep 16 14:51
*nj3ma has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)Sep 16 14:51

DaemonFCI'm going to look at a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria.Sep 16 14:54
iophkI see that M$ BlackDuck is a sponsor.Sep 16 14:54
sebsebsebiophk: would we get to talk to him afterwoulds? no probably notSep 16 14:54
iophkSo is SuseSep 16 14:54
DaemonFCThen MinceR can say that I drive a tank.Sep 16 14:54
sebsebsebiophk: M$ BlackDuck? you don't like BlackDuck ?Sep 16 14:54
iophkIt promotes a M$ agenda and is stocked by M$ people.Sep 16 14:54
DaemonFCThey have one on their lot that seems to be reasonably priced.Sep 16 14:54
sebsebsebfor the Euroepan one got Suse and Samsung and what notSep 16 14:54
DaemonFCI'm hoping I don't get the one that "just needs a little TLC".Sep 16 14:54
sebsebsebiophk: right well I have a feeling going to have some Open Suse at the isntall fest since that guySep 16 14:55
DaemonFCTransmission, Lights, Chassis!Sep 16 14:55
sebsebsebiophk: going to decice on distros and such tommorwSep 16 14:55
DaemonFCB-)Sep 16 14:55
iophkMageia would be a more solid choice.Sep 16 14:55
sebsebsebyes going to have Mageia :)Sep 16 14:55
sebsebseb,but we are probably doing multi distroSep 16 14:55
iophkYou do have to think about the long term welfare of the users.Sep 16 14:55
iophkMultidistro: Ubuntu + MageiaSep 16 14:55
sebsebsebiophk: yeah, but this guy might want Open SuseSep 16 14:55
sebsebsebhe probably does so we'll seeSep 16 14:55
iophkYou'll have to work on him then.Sep 16 14:56
iophkIt's time for him to let Suse goSep 16 14:56
sebsebsebhe's used it for like 10 years or so as wellSep 16 14:56
MinceRDaemonFC: just needs a little 'car'.Sep 16 14:56
sebsebsebOpen SuseSep 16 14:56
iophkall the more reasone for him to move on.Sep 16 14:56
sebsebsebiophk: what's annoying is that LInus etc speak in morning, well if I am to actsauly go :dSep 16 14:57
iophkNew users will be overwhelmed by things you and I are  either used to or ignore.Sep 16 14:57
sebsebsebiophk: to the one next month in Edinbrugh I am not a morning personSep 16 14:57
sebsebsebthis US one is ok though :dSep 16 14:57
sebsebsebit's afternon hereSep 16 14:57
iophkKeeping their choice to one between desktops is important.Sep 16 14:57
sebsebsebnearly 3pm :)Sep 16 14:57
sebsebsebso watching the streaming works well for me :)Sep 16 14:57
sebsebsebiophk: between desktops?  UBuntu for Unity,  Mageia for everything else?Sep 16 14:57
iophkYepSep 16 14:57
DaemonFCMinceR, To Ford's credit, they did make a fuel efficient V8.Sep 16 14:57
sebsebsebyes would make things simplerSep 16 14:58
sebsebseb,but  I'll see what this guy says tommorw etcSep 16 14:58
DaemonFCHow many 4.6 liter V8s get 17/25?Sep 16 14:58
sebsebsebaltough before he was kind of like, any distro will do sort of thingSep 16 14:58
DaemonFCMy V6 doesn't even get that!Sep 16 14:58
iophkIt also allows the staff to streamline installationsSep 16 14:58
sebsebsebwhat do you mean streamline?Sep 16 14:58
iophkless workSep 16 14:58
iophkIf there are a lot of people, things can get chaotic easily. Sep 16 14:58
iophkThe simpler it is to do the installation the less potential for chaos there is.Sep 16 14:59
sebsebsebiophk: yep indeedSep 16 15:00
iophkAnother thing to think of is that you want to show off how easy an installation is. Sep 16 15:00
sebsebsebhence local repo'sSep 16 15:00
iophkthey won't do the installation themselves, of course, but it will help set the mood.Sep 16 15:00
sebsebsebthey will do installation them seles, with help :)Sep 16 15:00
iophkInterestingSep 16 15:01
DaemonFCI'm writing a check to myself because their ATM will charge me a fee.Sep 16 15:01
iophkAre tazers allowed?Sep 16 15:01
sebsebsebiophk: I think ?Sep 16 15:01
DaemonFCI'm on my mom's account at the credit union, but I don't bank there.Sep 16 15:01
DaemonFCSo their ATM will charge me, but cashing a check is free.Sep 16 15:01
DaemonFC:PSep 16 15:01
sebsebsebiophk: I think may get a distros debate tommorwo depends :dSep 16 15:02
sebsebsebiophk: alslo I have to explain about the instals more propelry how they can be done etc probablySep 16 15:02
iophkWill you have a paper brochure explaining the installation steps, so that they know kind of what's going on before they sit down?Sep 16 15:02
sebsebsebiophk: that's an ideaSep 16 15:02
sebsebsebwe could provide something like thatSep 16 15:02
sebsebsebiophk: heh heh maybe I should get them all to come here on IRC tommorow to, so they can chat to you, heh hehSep 16 15:03
iophkWhat kind of hardware can you get in terms of cables and switches?Sep 16 15:06
iophkI'm thinking that most former M$ notebooks and desktops have only 100Mbps ethernet.Sep 16 15:06
sebsebsebok time for LInuxcon US liveSep 16 15:07
iophkSo old stuff should work fine.Sep 16 15:07
sebsebsebwell something came on now :dSep 16 15:07
iophkenjoySep 16 15:07

DaemonFCI'm still considering it.Sep 16 15:21
DaemonFCI might be able to repair that. They sell paint touch up kits.Sep 16 15:21
DaemonFCI could also ask the salesman if they'd fix it before selling it to me.Sep 16 15:21
DaemonFCThey are a Ford dealer, they do keep touch up paint on hand.Sep 16 15:21
DaemonFC$3,100 is still a good price assuming the car is in good condition.Sep 16 15:22
