| schestowitz | o_O Nice to see that they link directly to the Download of #Debian, i love Debian. But... A total newcomer will surely be confronted with the first Showstopper during installation: wifi-firmware! | Aug 27 07:38 |
| schestowitz | Since Debian only offers totally free software on this CDs, the needed firmware for wificards in nearly every Notebook\Laptop\etc. has to be downloaded separately. You've got to have it at hand during installation and to know how to install it - otherwise you won't have any network connection. | Aug 27 07:38 |

| schestowitz | will surely be ignored by a lot of people, because they're too lazy to get a wire and plug it into the ethernet port. | Aug 27 07:38 |

| DaemonFC | Since Comcast waived the bandwidth caps "temporarily" last year, I've been leaving various GNU/Linux ISOs seeding in the background. | Aug 27 20:11 |
| DaemonFC | I'm mirroring all of the Fedora, CentOS, and Scientific Linux spins that I could find ISOs for. | Aug 27 20:12 |
| DaemonFC | The most current versions anyway... | Aug 27 20:12 |
| *DaemonFC wishes that the Fedora project would make the respins with the updates applied into official images. | Aug 27 20:13 | |
| DaemonFC | It's annoying to go do an install and end up with something that's immediately 3-4 months behind on updates. | Aug 27 20:14 |
| DaemonFC | There really needs to be a way to punish people who don't do enough uploading with bittorrent. | Aug 27 20:18 |
| DaemonFC | It seems that a lot of bandwidth is wasted on people who are not being cooperative while other people in the swarm are being starved out. | Aug 27 20:18 |
| DaemonFC | Ideally, I think the system would calculate how cooperative each peer is being, and adjust the speed that they're able to download at accordingly. | Aug 27 20:19 |
| DaemonFC | As disgusting as Kazaa was, they tried to implement that. | Aug 27 20:19 |
| DaemonFC | Unfortunately, they left it up to the client software to report to the network how cooperative a peer was being, so a binary patch could set your participation level to maximum and get you uncapped downloads no matter what you were really doing. | Aug 27 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | Not enough people figured that out to subvert the entire system, but it did allow the few people that did to gorge themselves at the expense of others. | Aug 27 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Aug 27 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | A system that can be easily turned against itself and the original purpose is sometimes worse than having no system at all. | Aug 27 20:21 |
| MinceR | 211828 < DaemonFC> There really needs to be a way to punish people who don't do enough uploading with bittorrent. | Aug 27 20:23 |
| MinceR | there are such ways | Aug 27 20:23 |
| MinceR | and they lead to really shitty trackers | Aug 27 20:23 |
| MinceR | and all the same sorts of idiocy as on DC | Aug 27 20:23 |
| DaemonFC | It would be better if there was a blacklist of certain bittorrent clients. | Aug 27 20:23 |
| DaemonFC | You know, as a feature in the better ones. | Aug 27 20:23 |
| MinceR | also, it might not even be feasible with free software | Aug 27 20:23 |
| DaemonFC | Some of the flakier ones like Bitcomet. | Aug 27 20:23 |
| MinceR | then a) those clients will lie about what they are and | Aug 27 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | That's true. | Aug 27 20:24 |
| MinceR | b) the kiddies will ban all non-winblows clients | Aug 27 20:24 |
| MinceR | just like on DC. | Aug 27 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | If it just relies on what they report themselves as, Bitcomet could go around claiming it's Transmission or something. | Aug 27 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | It would be just like the browser user agent mess. | Aug 27 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | Internet Explorer is now claiming it's like Firefox and compatible with Webkit, and Netscape, but that it's really Internet Explorer.... | Aug 27 20:26 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Aug 27 20:26 |
| DaemonFC | Of course it's not like Firefox, it isn't compatible with Webkit, Netscape hasn't been around in over 10 years, and in the end you're still dealing with Internet Explorer... :) | Aug 27 20:26 |
| DaemonFC | It's always funny to look at the source code of a web page that tries implementing detection and hacks for six versions of Internet Explorer that don't behave the same way, and then every other browser gets a clean copy of the page. | Aug 27 20:28 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know exactly how much extra work that involves, but I'd imagine it's pretty horrible. | Aug 27 20:28 |
| DaemonFC | We're still really dealing with six non-standard browsers from Microsoft vs. Everyone else it seems. | Aug 27 20:30 |
| DaemonFC | I'm waiting to see what they do to WebGL. | Aug 27 20:31 |
| MinceR | WebDirect3D? | Aug 27 20:31 |
| DaemonFC | They claim IE 11 will support it, but you know it will be missing standard features, and adding several that only work in IE. | Aug 27 20:31 |

| DaemonFC | MinceR, I was reading a news article the other day, about teenage boys that are being kidnapped from Nepal, castrated, and forced into sex slavery in India. | Aug 27 20:33 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't know there were so many Catholics there... | Aug 27 20:34 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 27 20:34 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I was in a Catholic nursing home because someone I know works there and I was stopping by to bring them something for dinner. | Aug 27 20:36 |
| DaemonFC | This was a few months ago. | Aug 27 20:36 |
| DaemonFC | So, while I was there, I needed to pee, so I found a restroom, closed the door, flipped on the light..... | Aug 27 20:37 |
| DaemonFC | I unzipped my pants, stood in front of the toilet.... | Aug 27 20:37 |
| DaemonFC | And that's when I looked up and saw it... | Aug 27 20:37 |
| DaemonFC | Someone thought it would be a good idea to put a picture of Pope Benedict on the wall behind the toilet. | Aug 27 20:38 |
| DaemonFC | "Oh, that's just creepy...." | Aug 27 20:38 |
| MinceR | lol | Aug 27 20:38 |
| MinceR | maybe they had trouble pissing because they had boners and counteracted it with Sidious II? | Aug 27 20:38 |
| DaemonFC | Sidious in exilium ob multa scandala | Aug 27 20:41 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Aug 27 20:41 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I got all five seasons of Stargate Atlantis on Blu Ray... | Aug 27 20:51 |
| *DaemonFC got through three seasons while he was sick over the weekend. | Aug 27 20:51 | |
| DaemonFC | :P | Aug 27 20:51 |
| MinceR | :) | Aug 27 20:52 |
| MinceR | i haven't seen all of SGA yet | Aug 27 20:52 |

| DaemonFC | Yuck. | Aug 27 21:23 |

| sebsebseb | DaemonFC: MinceR A Nokia 770 tablet is nearly mine then | Aug 27 21:58 |
| sebsebseb | for free | Aug 27 21:58 |
| sebsebseb | may as well have it then I guess? | Aug 27 21:58 |
| sebsebseb | runs Maemo | Aug 27 21:58 |
| DaemonFC | Nokia is announcing a Windows RT tablet now. | Aug 27 21:59 |
| MinceR | indeed | Aug 27 21:59 |
| DaemonFC | Like they haven't burned up enough of their money on the money losing Windows phones that only about 6% of the market wants. | Aug 27 21:59 |
| DaemonFC | By the time you get done with the licensing costs of Windows and the number of customers you're turning away from your products, and the extra development costs associated with customizing the hardware and software, it's a money loser. | Aug 27 22:00 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft doesn't actually provide ARM hardware distributors with a copy of Windows that just works. | Aug 27 22:01 |
| DaemonFC | They get source code under an NDA and have to make major alterations to it themselves. | Aug 27 22:01 |
| DaemonFC | Nokia is shipping units, but they're losing money on each one. | Aug 27 22:03 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think it's a good idea to get anything from Nokia. | Aug 27 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: yeah this guy has some other stuff to that may be of interest | Aug 27 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: seems the NOkia 770 is a tablet, a satnav, a internet device etc | Aug 27 22:04 |
| DaemonFC | You can get a Windows phone for "free" with the contract, but you could get an Android phone that actually does stuff too. | Aug 27 22:04 |
| MinceR | i wonder if they made the 770 back when they still had engineers who knew what they were doing | Aug 27 22:04 |
| MinceR | then again, even my first nokia phone (6101) sucked | Aug 27 22:05 |
| sebsebseb | it's from 2006 it seems | Aug 27 22:05 |
| DaemonFC | The last Nokia I had was a basic flip phone in 2006. | Aug 27 22:06 |
| MinceR | the 6101 was a flip phone too | Aug 27 22:06 |
| MinceR | until it became a flip and crack phone | Aug 27 22:06 |
| MinceR | at least the n97 had a robust opening mechanism | Aug 27 22:09 |
| DaemonFC | "Besides the large, particularly venomous snake-like creature that inhabits the mainland, it looks to be a welcome environment." | Aug 27 22:14 |
| DaemonFC | lol | Aug 27 22:14 |
