schestowitz_bed2iophk: morning..Oct 20 09:37
iophkheyOct 20 09:37
schestowitz_bed2wanna talk about direction of the site?Oct 20 09:39
schestowitz_bed2While others can weigh in?Oct 20 09:39
iophkI guess so.  Oct 20 09:39
schestowitz_bed2Some people favour moving to DrupalOct 20 09:39
schestowitz_bed2Inc. a colleague, who said so this morningOct 20 09:39
iophkThe site does seem to have outgrown it's current CMSOct 20 09:39
schestowitz_bed2I need to sharpen up my drupal skillOct 20 09:39
iophk*itsOct 20 09:39
schestowitz_bed2But that in itself is not a strong enough motivation factor for site CMS fragmenytationOct 20 09:40
schestowitz_bed2I thought about RSS directs, wiki integration, search, eyc.Oct 20 09:40
schestowitz_bed2I also checked out some Drupal themes last nightOct 20 09:40
schestowitz_bed2https://drupal.org/project/themesOct 20 09:41
TechrightsBot-trdrupal.org | Themes | drupal.orgOct 20 09:41
schestowitz_bed2For the most part freeOct 20 09:41
schestowitz_bed2if I can bypass the need to design my own and can just quickly set up drupal, that would be OKOct 20 09:42
iophkI'm thinking with all the old posts, it is important to be able to import from the old CMSOct 20 09:42
iophkCan that be done with Drupal?Oct 20 09:42
iophkOr would the old one be kept around read-only?Oct 20 09:42
schestowitz_bed2the need for people to register with yet another CMS (mediawikialready disabled for signup due to spam) is not an issue because comments are not the key place for discussion, IRC isOct 20 09:42
iophkWith the posts it is important to be able to browse by title, date, and keywords.Oct 20 09:43
schestowitz_bed2since 2008Oct 20 09:43
schestowitz_bed2can import old posts, yes, but the URL structure would changeOct 20 09:43
schestowitz_bed2and that can hurt placement of old articles in SEsOct 20 09:43
iophkI would disagree about the comments, they are important to have in HTML for the search enginesOct 20 09:43
iophkand having them on the same page as the articles gives them context.Oct 20 09:43
schestowitz_bed2IRC logs are HTMLOct 20 09:43
iophkIRC and microblogs (Twitter etc) are just chaff.Oct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2Somone just sent me two PDFs to publish in the siteOct 20 09:44
iophkIRC logs may be HTML but are without context.Oct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2only hours agoOct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2yes, m-blogs are for the lazyOct 20 09:44
iophkCan they be reformatted as HTML or PDF/A?Oct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2devolving into inane onep-liners, like SMS cultureOct 20 09:44
iophkPDF can carry nasty payloads these days.Oct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2symbols, abbreviations, and no possibility of prose. many people these days just read headlines and summaries -- info overload encourages this.Oct 20 09:45
iophk140 character is not much.  Someone could figure out how to generate grammatically correct sentences and pre-caclulate all the ones that fit into 140 character.Oct 20 09:45
schestowitz_bed2PDF->HTML conversion  is fine only for docs that are simpleOct 20 09:46
iophkThen they could post them on the web and we could be done with microblogging, everything that can be said having been said.Oct 20 09:46
schestowitz_bed2if the source of teh PDF/PS is latex, then exporting to html can be done from the typesetting contextOct 20 09:46
iophkPDF is fine for something on the way to the print queue or /dev/nullOct 20 09:46
iophkbut is no good for anyting elseOct 20 09:46
schestowitz_bed2yes, I don't rely on it muchOct 20 09:47
iophklatex has html converters afaikOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2even publications I submitted to are now converting to HTMLOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2Like Elsevier, CiteSeerOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2Seen some the other dayOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2They're losing influence because people just google for info and end up not in journals, which are mostly PDF and sometimes behind paywallsOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2but that's another topic, let's keep focused on the site. Any decent theme for Drupal?Oct 20 09:48
iophkI haven't looked yet.Oct 20 09:48
schestowitz_bed2Some people never liked the theme in techrights, perhaps now is an opportunity to keep the old one for old posts and start afresh while redirecting RSS feedsOct 20 09:48
iophkokOct 20 09:49
JimmyCarterwhat about militarizing the movementsOct 20 09:49
schestowitz_bed2I said to my wife yesterday, maybe of the pages in TR are from 2006tOct 20 09:49
*amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)Oct 20 09:49
schestowitz_bed2very out of data,, irrelevant to the extremeOct 20 09:49
schestowitz_bed2*dateOct 20 09:49
schestowitz_bed2So people get confused, seeing stuff about Linspire and stuff, which has been defunct for half a decade nowOct 20 09:49
schestowitz_bed2JimmyCarter: which ones?Oct 20 09:49
schestowitz_bed2We need to get more politicalOct 20 09:49
iophkYes, the date of publication needs to be prominent on displayed articles.Oct 20 09:50
schestowitz_bed2A friend of mine who's a professor said we need to get politicalOct 20 09:50
schestowitz_bed2to be effectOct 20 09:50
schestowitz_bed2he was here for dinner last night, he has known about techrights for yearsOct 20 09:50
iophkI think Lessig and Perens have already made that move.Oct 20 09:50
schestowitz_bed2iophk: drupal has a blog componentOct 20 09:50
iophkRMS did so years ago.Oct 20 09:50
*DaemonFC has quit (Remote host closed the connection)Oct 20 09:50
schestowitz_bed2but it's nothing exceptionally fancyOct 20 09:50
schestowitz_bed2I think that:Oct 20 09:50
iophkDrupal has about 2000 themesOct 20 09:50
JimmyCarterin usa everyones impressed the teaparty took over the world while occupy did nothingOct 20 09:51
schestowitz_bed2we can set up the site like a resource with better structure and drupal will add to the RSS feed any new page while it's being createdOct 20 09:51
JimmyCarterwere having bad luck with coocurrences of necessary traits in leadershipOct 20 09:51
schestowitz_bed2so you might have a new section about patents, linking to some old stuff in the wiki and then adding some new summaries with news as we go alongOct 20 09:51
schestowitz_bed2to new users it would be more like the EFF or FSF siteOct 20 09:51
schestowitz_bed2Not just something like a  paper but more of a broad resource, updating subs as it goes alongOct 20 09:52
schestowitz_bed2JimmyCarter: yeahOct 20 09:52
schestowitz_bed2I'm done being too nice and cocky to US leadershipOct 20 09:52
schestowitz_bed2Seeing that less than 10% of USians trust their Congress, I'm not in the minorityOct 20 09:53
schestowitz_bed2So as long as I don't take shots at the public, I'm safeOct 20 09:53
schestowitz_bed2NSA, CIA, twoparty system, Senate, secret courts and oppressive police are not so popular, not even among the public they purport to serveOct 20 09:54
JimmyCartertheres a growing populist demand for pragmatism and compassionOct 20 09:54
schestowitz_bed2Wikileaks uses Drupal nowOct 20 09:54
schestowitz_bed2the wiki has become just a sub-partOct 20 09:54

schestowitz_bed2It's long overdue for me to subscribe...Oct 20 09:58
iophkThe blog doesn't have such great browsing capabilities.Oct 20 09:59
iophkThey've got date and title in the results list but no keywords.Oct 20 09:59
iophkSpeaking of keywords they use 'intellectual property' instead of copyright, patents, or trademarksOct 20 10:00
schestowitz_bed2lawyersOct 20 10:00
schestowitz_bed2like cindy cohen and that samuels typesOct 20 10:00

schestowitz_bed2BTW, mind the age of EFF and ACULAOct 20 10:01
schestowitz_bed2ACLUOct 20 10:01
schestowitz_bed2One is a century oldOct 20 10:01
iophkI'm noticing that even Drupal is not so good for looking at published material.Oct 20 10:03
iophkIt's ok for stuff at the top of the list but not for old articles.Oct 20 10:03
iophkThose still get buried.Oct 20 10:03
iophkAnd are hard to find again.Oct 20 10:04
iophkThe development effort looks to have been on adding widgets rather than core functionality.Oct 20 10:04
schestowitz_bed2That's just a flaw in chronological publishingOct 20 10:04
schestowitz_bed2unlike books with an index and outliningOct 20 10:05
schestowitz_bed2RSS updates in EFF are for the blog onlyOct 20 10:05
schestowitz_bed2they just renamed the "blog" partOct 20 10:05
schestowitz_bed2it is not an aggregateOct 20 10:05
schestowitz_bed2Here's an ideaOct 20 10:05
schestowitz_bed2How about for the next couple of months I focus on reorganising techrights?Oct 20 10:06
schestowitz_bed2Rather than post new stuff?Oct 20 10:06
iophkthat might work, but it would be good to post a littleOct 20 10:06
iophkmaybe one article per dayOct 20 10:06
schestowitz_bed2and maybe use a new CMS or front page or whatever, carefully crafting it to address current issue, like patents rather than Novell and OOXMLOct 20 10:06
iophkyou can queue them up and publish them over a few daysOct 20 10:06
schestowitz_bed2yes, can do bothOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2but generally redesign the whole site alsoOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2making ~17,000 pages easier to reach by topicOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2and consolidating some wiki parts, they can be grafted inOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2without touching any of the old pages, leaving them as they areOct 20 10:08
iophkyes, by topic would be goodOct 20 10:08
schestowitz_bed2http://www.fsf.org/ looks similar to EFFOct 20 10:08
schestowitz_bed2Even the coloursOct 20 10:08
TechrightsBot-trwww.fsf.org | Front Page — Free Software Foundation — working together for free softwareOct 20 10:08
schestowitz_bed2but EFF attracts FAR more fundingOct 20 10:08
iophkEFF doesn't have a whisper campaign against it and its founderOct 20 10:08
iophkRMS does throw the F-word around a lot.Oct 20 10:09
schestowitz_bed2maybe EFF has led the FSF to trying to imitate, or sort of associate, they already collaborate in some public interests motionsOct 20 10:09
iophkFor some people it is too much.Oct 20 10:09
schestowitz_bed2EFF did some campaigning against Canonical's spywarteOct 20 10:09
schestowitz_bed2before the FSF didOct 20 10:09
schestowitz_bed2FSF did this after I told RMS that EFF had done this and FSF should alsoOct 20 10:09
schestowitz_bed2 new text on top of FSF site, exploiting NSA scandals:Oct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2"We empower people to collaborate on software that respects your freedom and helps protect your data from spying.'Oct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2That's newOct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2'Please make a donation to the FSF so we can continue to work for your freedom, privacy, and security."Oct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2Privacy and security"Oct 20 10:10
iophkSoftware freedom fits in many contextsOct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2yes, but this one is trendy at the momentOct 20 10:11
schestowitz_bed2I got two PDFs about privacyOct 20 10:11

schestowitz_bed2iophk: yes, but many refuse to leave Windows, for nowOct 20 10:12
iophkword on the street for  decade is that Windows is heavily backdoored, now it's confirmedOct 20 10:12
schestowitz_bed2So it might be better to  at least appreciate some FOSS on WindowsOct 20 10:12
iophkCardboard locks...Oct 20 10:13
schestowitz_bed2Anyway, about DrupalOct 20 10:13
schestowitz_bed2Should we spent months rebuilding for structural improvementsOct 20 10:13
schestowitz_bed2Like pages about the chronology of Novell stuff?Oct 20 10:13

iophkYes but that can be done on the fly if the articles are properly keyworded.Oct 20 10:14
schestowitz_bed2like open sql sockets in phpOct 20 10:14
schestowitz_bed2adding keywords is not always enoughOct 20 10:14

schestowitz_bed2Also, there's a chance for redesign, or an alternative approach into articles past and presentOct 20 10:16
schestowitz_bed2iophk: define thatOct 20 10:16
iophkYou could have a separate namespace for the caseOct 20 10:16
schestowitz_bed2on their own, I know the termsOct 20 10:17
iophkin addition to one that is descriptiveOct 20 10:17
schestowitz_bed2Maybe with added modulesOct 20 10:17
iophkIf you look at the EFF deeplinksOct 20 10:17
iophkyou can see they have keywordsOct 20 10:17
schestowitz_bed2usually there are categories and tagsOct 20 10:17
schestowitz_bed2which can be treated like two separate namespacesOct 20 10:17
iophkif you click on a keyword (aka  tag) it gives you a searchOct 20 10:17
iophkof that namespaceOct 20 10:17
schestowitz_bed2WordPress has tags too, I just never use themOct 20 10:17
schestowitz_bed2And I don't add new categories, it would mess things upOct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2search on tags is not goodOct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2it's still serialised by timeOct 20 10:18
iophkIf you can have two separate 'tag' hierarchies, one could be for the case (e.g. Novell)Oct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2so if I click OOXML I don't get a cloud of anything, just a list of latest 10 posts or whatever is specified as defaultOct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2Wordpress search just does the same, no weighting based on content, which is why Google search is offered as an option -- one that I use a lot to find older postsOct 20 10:19
iophkOk clicking on it, if it works right, should give you all articles "tagged" ooxmlOct 20 10:19
schestowitz_bed2not allOct 20 10:19
schestowitz_bed2the latest -- yesOct 20 10:19
iophkusually it is sorted by chronological orderOct 20 10:19
schestowitz_bed2and BTW, there used to be a page with list of all articlesOct 20 10:19
iophkdoing a subsearch is probably not possibleOct 20 10:20
iophkwith the old for-pay databases it was possible to narrow a searchOct 20 10:20
schestowitz_bed2but after a year it became CPU murder and timed out, there were over 1000 results returned from the queryOct 20 10:20
iophkbut those had text interfacesOct 20 10:20
iophk1000 is a small setOct 20 10:20
iophkif it loaded the CPU something was very wrong with the codeOct 20 10:20
iophkDoes drupal use mysql or postgresql?Oct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2it generated PDF, I thinkOct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2there was also an option for full articles downloadOct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2as PDFOct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2back around 2006-2007Oct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2Now that would be like 3e GB of PDF textOct 20 10:21

schestowitz_bed2A lot of off-the-shelf ones are rudimentary, so a lot of extra work remains to be doneOct 20 11:47
Guest70688schestowitz_bed2, Most likely they started with ZEN, but if you read about, they employed some people and they did a lot customization themselves, plus I guess built some modules too.Oct 20 11:50

iophk_hottub1ohOct 20 20:28
schestowitz_bed2this can't be good for my back, I need to sit more, not lie downOct 20 20:28
iophk_hottub1hard to type that way, too, I expectOct 20 20:29
schestowitz_bed2I've become like Jabba the huttOct 20 20:29
iophk_hottub1Apparently standing desks are best cure for that.Oct 20 20:29
schestowitz_bed2anyway, i got about 40 pages for base site structureOct 20 20:29
iophk_hottub1I've seen mechanical ones that can be raised and lowered depending on whether it is better to sit or stand for a given task.Oct 20 20:29
schestowitz_bed2they're empty and overall layout is not an urgent matter yet, just content topologyOct 20 20:29
schestowitz_bed2and how the site comes acrossOct 20 20:29
schestowitz_bed2the previous front page, lasting several years (wiki front page), got millions of viewsOct 20 20:30
schestowitz_bed2and it's not a good starting point, link overloadOct 20 20:30
iophk_hottub1Simpler is better, but there should be a short connection to the older articles.Oct 20 20:30
iophk_hottub1Some are quite relevant still.Oct 20 20:30
schestowitz_bed2iophk_hottub1: probably beds for bed-bound peopleOct 20 20:30
schestowitz_bed2like people with no legs or people with legs too weak to standOct 20 20:31
schestowitz_bed2older articles can be added where they're relecanOct 20 20:31
schestowitz_bed2*relevantOct 20 20:31
schestowitz_bed2no need to link to everythingOct 20 20:31
schestowitz_bed2some are poor and/or out of dateOct 20 20:31
schestowitz_bed2whereas they can be found, they are better off not actively promoted, stillOct 20 20:32
schestowitz_bed2like old Novell pagesOct 20 20:32
iophk_hottub1YeahOct 20 20:32
schestowitz_bed2or something about NOVL shares going up, down, etc.Oct 20 20:32

schestowitz_bed2the wiki just a chronological indexOct 20 20:39

iophkThe articles can be "tagged" as they are made but then others added after. That would be one. Oct 20 20:43

DaemonFCI was parking my car down at the end, because the parking spaces go about 3 more feet from the road.Oct 20 23:12
DaemonFCBut then I looked up at that stupid tree that was raining down twigs on my car, and noticed how much it was swaying in the wind.Oct 20 23:13
DaemonFCThat reminded me of that "Shakey Shakey Shakey" commercial.Oct 20 23:13
DaemonFCSo I sat there for a minute and tried to figure out the most likely place for it to come crashing down if wind or lightning brought the entire tree down.Oct 20 23:14
DaemonFCand then I started parking my car on the main row of parking spaces. Close to my apartment but far enough away that the tree would land on the roof of the apartment strip across the sidewalk if it came down in the direction of the parking spaces.Oct 20 23:14
DaemonFCB-)Oct 20 23:14
DaemonFCI'm not worried about their roof, I'm worried about my car. Oct 20 23:15
DaemonFCand with the way shit tends to go down in this town, I'd be willing to bet those people whose property the tree is on don't have homeowners insurance that would compensate me for my carOct 20 23:16
DaemonFCIn fact, I believe that was the house that the police raided for prostitution a few months ago.Oct 20 23:16

DaemonFCThis is really a statement on how far our society has fallen. People are now shooting up on crack cocaine mixed with gasoline. It makes crystal meth look relatively harmless in comparison.Oct 20 23:20

DaemonFCOf course, there's always been people like this. I remember riding the #4 city bus in Marion about 20 years ago, and asking my aunt about this weird guy making strange noises.Oct 20 23:20

*DaemonFC is glad he decided to buy that 1996 Crown Vic.Oct 21 01:25
DaemonFCGood car.Oct 21 01:25
DaemonFCMom asked why I didn't just buy that 2004 model that was like $300 more.Oct 21 01:25
DaemonFCI said "It had an exhaust leak that was going to cost $650 to fix. The transmission fluid was burned, which means that a new transmission wasn't far off. The last owner wasn't even changing their oil. There was also a problem with the blend door actuator motor that was going to require the entire dash to be taken apart."Oct 21 01:27
DaemonFCThe car was just abused and neglected and there wasn't going to be a single thing on it that was any damned good.Oct 21 01:27
DaemonFCIt'd probably run for another year, maybe, and then we'd be getting into some really expensive shit, like a rebuilt transmission.Oct 21 01:27
DaemonFCIt really pisses me off that people don't take care of their stuff.Oct 21 01:28
DaemonFCIt's not even mine and it makes me mad.Oct 21 01:28
DaemonFCI'm going to get my car repainted next year.Oct 21 01:29
DaemonFCThe paint job isn't looking terrific right now. It's not terrible, but it needs some attention.Oct 21 01:29
DaemonFCThe mechanical and interior condition is excellent though.Oct 21 01:30
DaemonFCI can drive it around with a paint job that's not looking fantastic while I save up to get it redone.Oct 21 01:30
DaemonFCI'll probably get it repainted the same color. I'm not wild about the color, but it's not a bad color either. Changing the color would add about $500-800 to the paint job, so I'll leave the color alone.Oct 21 01:31
DaemonFCI'm just going to have them mask, sand, and spray.Oct 21 01:33
DaemonFCI could have it done top-notch where they take the glass out, and take the doors, hood, and trunk lid off, and so on, but that would add about $1,800 worth of labor.Oct 21 01:34
DaemonFCThe paint job I want is probably going to cost about $1,500, but the car needs a little bit of body work too. I'm going to go after-market on that.Oct 21 01:34
DaemonFCIt'll look good when I'm done. They said they have a five year warranty on their paint jobs. If it starts to peel or crack or something, they'll sand it down and redo it for free.Oct 21 01:35
DaemonFCPeople are finding out just how long those 1990s cars can last. The bad economy makes it more practical to just fix what you have.Oct 21 01:36
DaemonFCI don't have huge doubts about this car. I think it'll last another 10-15 years.Oct 21 01:38
DaemonFCThe big problem I'm having out of it right now is that it's just way too damned fast. :)Oct 21 01:38
DaemonFCI looked down last night and noticed I was doing 50 in a 35. :POct 21 01:39
DaemonFCI got my radar detector out of the Taurus when I sold it. Put it in the Crown Vic.Oct 21 01:39
DaemonFCThose cops like to sneak around in their unmarked cars, but the radar detector always gives me a heads up.Oct 21 01:40
DaemonFCThey're illegal to use in Virginia and DC though. The cops there have a radar detector detector.Oct 21 01:40
DaemonFCSo the radar detectors detect the detector detector and shut down right after they warn you.Oct 21 01:41
DaemonFCB-)Oct 21 01:41
DaemonFCThey're not technically illegal to use in Illinois, but it is against the law there to have anything mounted on your windshield that could obstruct your view, so you should flip that suction cup base upside down and stick the detector to the dashboard. Then they can't fine you.Oct 21 01:42

DaemonFCIt had a 3.0 V6 and it was a few hundred pounds lighter than what I drive now.Oct 21 19:41
DaemonFCand it actually got worse gas mileageOct 21 19:41
DaemonFCI didn't feel like looking into it too much. I know the fuel tank wasn't leaking.Oct 21 19:41
DaemonFCprobably a leaking injector or the oxygen sensorsOct 21 19:42
DaemonFCnot my problem nowOct 21 19:42
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 19:42
Sosumiout sight, out of mindOct 21 19:42
DaemonFCyupOct 21 19:42
DaemonFCof course the government propaganda and "news" media kept referring to the Crown Vic as a gas guzzler.Oct 21 19:43
DaemonFCIt's not, but that didn't stop them.Oct 21 19:43
DaemonFCV8 = gas guzzler by default to those idiotsOct 21 19:43
DaemonFCIt was sort of true with the old ones, with the carburetors.Oct 21 19:44
DaemonFCWhen they went fuel injected, the gas mileage really went up.Oct 21 19:44
DaemonFCI do about 75% city/25% highway. I'm getting about 25 mpg.Oct 21 19:45
DaemonFCThose EPA estimates are really far off.Oct 21 19:46
Sosumimeh, some of these newer cars consume way more than older pre 1995 carsOct 21 19:46
DaemonFCIt's a political thing designed to kill off any car the government dislikes.Oct 21 19:46
DaemonFC:POct 21 19:46
Sosumifor example my renault 21 turbo wastes less than a VW poloOct 21 19:46
Sosumiand that's a 1991 modelOct 21 19:46
Sosumiit's as old as me too, lolOct 21 19:47
Sosumi2 years differenceOct 21 19:47
DaemonFCI like how those "magic car potions" still exist.Oct 21 19:47
DaemonFC"fuel injector cleaner"Oct 21 19:48
Sosumisnake oilOct 21 19:48
DaemonFCYour fuel injectors should never need cleaning unless your fuel filter has a bypass that lets unfiltered gasoline go through the system if it gets clogged.Oct 21 19:48
DaemonFC(thus completely missing the point of a FILTER, but that's GM for you)Oct 21 19:48
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 19:48
Sosumithat's trueOct 21 19:49
AdrianGare u sure they never need cleaningOct 21 19:49
AdrianGbecause you do get carbon deposits with time.Oct 21 19:49
DaemonFCIf you do like I do, and insist on fuel filters without a bypass, your car won't start if the filter gets clogged, but you won't ever need to clean your injectorsOct 21 19:49
DaemonFCThe only way they should need cleaned is if your fuel filter has been bypassed for quite some time.Oct 21 19:49
DaemonFCUnfortunately, the ones that have a bypass won't tell you that they're clogged and are using it.Oct 21 19:50
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 19:50
DaemonFCUse a no-bypass filter and change it about every 30,000 miles.Oct 21 19:50
DaemonFCThe only way to really get your injectors cleaned properly if they do get clogged is to have a mechanic clean them individually, which is incredibly expensive.Oct 21 19:51
DaemonFCIt's better to just make sure your fuel filter is clean.Oct 21 19:51
AdrianGor even better, drive an electric car.Oct 21 19:52
DaemonFCWalmart has a $29.99 fuel system cleaning service. Someone asked me about that. I said "For $29.99, it's probably just some guy dumping crap into your gas tank."Oct 21 19:52
AdrianGfewer fluids to worry about.Oct 21 19:52
DaemonFCYeah, but the replacement batteries are very expensive.Oct 21 19:52
DaemonFCYou have to replace them about every 5 years, and they cost about $3,000-$4,000.Oct 21 19:53
DaemonFCand if you plug them in in Indiana, you're charging your car on electricity from coal fired power plants.Oct 21 19:53
AdrianGstill betterOct 21 19:53
AdrianGalso, are you sure they'll only last 5 yrsOct 21 19:53
DaemonFCYeah, except that you have to have somewhere to plug in at.Oct 21 19:53
DaemonFCGas stations don't let you do that.Oct 21 19:53
DaemonFCWhen GM had the EV-1, they set up charging stations all over southern California.Oct 21 19:54
DaemonFCThen they ordered all the EV-1's to be crushed and shut down all charging stations.Oct 21 19:54
DaemonFCIt's good that alot of people are giving up and driving clown cars.Oct 21 19:55
AdrianG?Oct 21 19:55
DaemonFCI'd hate to see what gas would cost if everyone had a car like mine.Oct 21 19:55
AdrianGso just charge at home.Oct 21 19:55
AdrianGovernight.Oct 21 19:55
DaemonFCYeah, but the range sucks.Oct 21 19:55
AdrianG300 miles?Oct 21 19:55
AdrianGgood enough.Oct 21 19:56
DaemonFCWhat if I wanted to go 600-700 miles?Oct 21 19:56
DaemonFCI guess I could try to plug it in at a motel room and just hope nobody noticed the cord.Oct 21 19:56
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 19:56
AdrianG300 per day is a slow tripOct 21 19:56
AdrianGbut still better than nothing.Oct 21 19:56
DaemonFCI usually don't stay in a motel room along the way if it's just going to be a day or two.Oct 21 19:57
DaemonFCI just pull over at a rest stop and sleep in the car.Oct 21 19:57
DaemonFCMost truck stops have showers and a McDonalds or something. Oct 21 20:00
DaemonFCSomeone asked if it's OK to use Walmart's Super Tech motor oil.Oct 21 20:04
DaemonFCSure it is.Oct 21 20:04
DaemonFCI used to use it all the time.Oct 21 20:04
DaemonFClike 7-8 years ago it was 88 cents per quartOct 21 20:05
DaemonFCit's just recycled oil with a fresh detergent package in itOct 21 20:05
DaemonFCThere's no point using it now though. It's like $2 per quart, and Valvoline is $2.40. :)Oct 21 20:05
DaemonFCIt used to be that if you used recycled oil, you got it really cheap because some people didn't want to use it.Oct 21 20:07
DaemonFCNow because of that "save the Earth" crap, they just call it "Earth Friendly" motor oil, charge the same price, and keep the difference in their own pockets.Oct 21 20:07
DaemonFCNow I just use what goes on sale or has good rebates.Oct 21 20:09
DaemonFCSo I switch from Valvoline to Quaker State to Castrol. Oct 21 20:10
DaemonFCIf you get them in the five quart bottles on a good sale at the auto part stores, they're like $1.60-$1.80 per quart.Oct 21 20:10
AdrianGhow often is motor oil recycledOct 21 20:14
DaemonFCWell, it's just a filtering process.Oct 21 20:17
DaemonFCThey filter it really good and then add a new detergent package.Oct 21 20:18
DaemonFCIt should be just as good as new.Oct 21 20:18
DaemonFCI don't know how often it's recycled actually.Oct 21 20:18
DaemonFCThey don't have to label it that way.Oct 21 20:18
DaemonFCThe bottles that say it's a certain percentage recycled are greenwashing their product.Oct 21 20:19
DaemonFCBut it's likely that most brands have a certain percentage, because it gets costs down.Oct 21 20:19
DaemonFCLet's them sell it at places like Walmart.Oct 21 20:19
DaemonFC*letsOct 21 20:20
DaemonFCIt's better for the environment and there really is no quality difference, but they do it because it's cheap.Oct 21 20:21
DaemonFCLike I said, I used 100% recycled for a long time and never had any engine problems.Oct 21 20:21
DaemonFCI used 100% recycled because it was 88 cents per quart.Oct 21 20:22
DaemonFCIt has to meet all the same specifications or they can't legally sell it.Oct 21 20:22

DaemonFCThe OEMs like it because it raises their fuel efficiency average by like 1.5%, and gets you out of their warranty coverage phase, but I really don't trust it to protect my engine.Oct 21 20:27

DaemonFCI thought it was hilarious when a Honda owner took their Prelude to Jiffy Lube and got a transmission flush with that stupid T-Tech machine.Oct 21 20:32
DaemonFCThey put the wrong ATF fluid into the transmission and it broke down on her way home.Oct 21 20:32
DaemonFCHonda uses some kind of "special" ATF fluid that's like blue iirc, and Jiffy Lube replaced the blue with the red.Oct 21 20:33
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 20:33
DaemonFCThe coloring in just a dye. The purpose of the dye is to make it obvious that you're about to put in the wrong fluid if the colors don't match.Oct 21 20:34
DaemonFCThey do the same thing with antifreeze/coolant.Oct 21 20:34

brendynschestowitz_bed2: It's the fumes that effect the atmosphere and ocean that do it, since they really effect the rate of earth radiating heat. earths temperature is basically an equilibrium between input from the sun and nuclear decay in the earth, and radiating heat being lost, and that this is working on orders of magnitudes of energy much higher than direct heat from burning the fuel?Oct 23 15:34

schestowitz_bed2The phrase, "The user is the weakest link," has always irritated me. It sounds like a cop out for decent system design. It's true that you can't rely on users to pick out things that are really random and that pass phrase guessing has been a good way to break cryptography, but that and other flaws of human nature should be worked around. Microsoft has always blamed users for their own design flaws, which we now know is a double Oct 23 21:02
schestowitz_bed2insult because Microsoft routinely betrayed users. The phrase should be retired along with other non free software wisdom about professional software development, copyright protection, etc.Oct 23 21:02
schestowitz_bed2The free software community can do better. We can make distributions like Debian that are have relatively safe repositories of software. We can teach users how to generate decent pass phrases and give them good crypto that does more if required without making people remember nonsensical patterns of numbers and letters. Most of all, we can teach our neighbors how non free software is an injustice. Then people might be able to trustOct 23 21:02

schestowitz_bed2That's really cool but why is the Linux Foundation emphasizing the low cost nature of free software and causing it "frustrating"? It should be apparent that no matter how he got into free software, free software is doing things that can't be done with other software.Oct 24 07:48
schestowitz_bed2Even if it was true 15 years ago that low cost study was the only thing you could do with free software that you could not do with non free software, the end result of that is an abundance of excellent tools for science. That's what the Linux Foundation should be asking about and emphasizing.Oct 24 07:48
schestowitz_bed2The abundance of tools and versatility of free software for science was apparent 10 years ago when I was starting my thesis work. Everything from system level tools, like remote access, to specific analysis tools and publication tools were simply better. What was cooler was how easy it was to make my own tools chain everything together. If I could get expensive replacement tools on another system, I would have been stuck with Oct 24 07:48

AdrianGu can run windows on it, liuxOct 24 20:20
AdrianGbsdOct 24 20:20
AdrianGwhateverOct 24 20:20
AdrianGor even android lolOct 24 20:20
MinceRthey're inflexibleOct 24 20:20
AdrianGinflexible?Oct 24 20:20
MinceRthey're limitedOct 24 20:20
AdrianGwatOct 24 20:20
MinceRno configuration optionsOct 24 20:20
MinceRhardware or softwareOct 24 20:20
AdrianGmost laptops are this way in case you havent realizedOct 24 20:21
MinceRnot reallyOct 24 20:21
AdrianGwhat are you going to upgrade?Oct 24 20:21
AdrianGcpu?Oct 24 20:21
AdrianGram?Oct 24 20:21
MinceRi've upgraded ram in a laptopOct 24 20:21
AdrianGso have iOct 24 20:21
MinceRone of my laptops has an open hdd bayOct 24 20:21
MinceRbut the main point was that i have choice of modelsOct 24 20:22
AdrianGwhats the longest you've used a macbook forOct 24 20:23
AdrianGim curiousOct 24 20:23
MinceR0 secondsOct 24 20:23
MinceRi thinkOct 24 20:24
AdrianGyet you know all about itOct 24 20:24
AdrianGwhere did you learn your psychic powers lolOct 24 20:24
MinceRyes, there's this thing we call the internetOct 24 20:24
MinceRi've also used one of their desktop modelsOct 24 20:24
MinceRit was crapOct 24 20:24
MinceRi've also seen a colleague struggle with the unusable gui while trying to make a keynote presentationOct 24 20:24
AdrianGlike those colored tv-tube macs?Oct 24 20:24
MinceRit was embarrassingOct 24 20:24
MinceRno, a relatively recent oneOct 24 20:25
AdrianGidk about their desktops, never used themOct 24 20:25
MinceR(oh, and that presentation was on an apple laptop)Oct 24 20:25
AdrianGexcept for old tv-tube macsOct 24 20:25
MinceRboth run osxOct 24 20:25
AdrianGthey were royal shit btwOct 24 20:25
MinceRwhich is supposed to be the selling pointOct 24 20:25
*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@unaffiliated/daemonfc) has joined #techrightsOct 24 20:25
AdrianGslow and everything. but those are old computers so who caresOct 24 20:25
MinceRthe supposedly user friendly guiOct 24 20:25
MinceRwhich can't manage windows properlyOct 24 20:25
AdrianGit is very user friendlyOct 24 20:25
MinceRand can't be configured properlyOct 24 20:25
MinceRand where the browser hides the scroll bars and they give you a mouse without a working scroll wheelOct 24 20:26
AdrianGmagic mouse?Oct 24 20:26
MinceRmaybeOct 24 20:26
AdrianGit has scrolling.Oct 24 20:26
AdrianGyou should try using apple's touchpad on a macOct 24 20:26
MinceRsure, there must be some way of activating itOct 24 20:26
AdrianGits the best implementation of a touchpad ive ever seen.Oct 24 20:26
MinceRi had no time to play with itOct 24 20:26
MinceRand their presentation application doesn't zoom the slide to the screenOct 24 20:27
MinceRwhile presentingOct 24 20:27
MinceRso you get a tiny little turd in the middle of a screenOct 24 20:27
AdrianGpresentation application is not part of the osOct 24 20:27
MinceRit's a crApple product, thoughOct 24 20:27
AdrianGso they have a crappy presentation app (maybe? i never used it or seen it)Oct 24 20:27
AdrianGwho caresOct 24 20:27
MinceRi guess it would be fine if they toned down the faceOct 24 20:27
AdrianGthe os is good.Oct 24 20:27
AdrianGexcept for being locked down etc.Oct 24 20:27
MinceRstopped claiming everyone steals their ideas (which is a lie)Oct 24 20:28
AdrianGgo try using their trackpadOct 24 20:28
AdrianGits the best thing ever.Oct 24 20:28
MinceRand their idiot cultists shut their fucking mouths alreadyOct 24 20:28
MinceRoh, and they should stop suing everyoneOct 24 20:28
MinceRtry to make a decent product for a change, try to compete that wayOct 24 20:28
MinceRmaybe it won't workOct 24 20:28
MinceRbut at least it wouldn't be so damn disgusting.Oct 24 20:28
AdrianGlolOct 24 20:29
AdrianGtry to compete?Oct 24 20:29
SosumiI just bought a soldering station so I can upgrade my cpu on the trashcan proOct 24 20:29
MinceRhell, they could take freebsd, put a macos skin on it and sell it as "macos xi"Oct 24 20:29
AdrianGppl are buying up their stuff fast.Oct 24 20:29
MinceRit would be their best os everOct 24 20:29
MinceRyeah, people who are only going for the logoOct 24 20:29
AdrianGhow do you think they became so bigOct 24 20:29
MinceRjust like m$ could take freebsd, put a windows skin on it, call it "windows 9" and it would be their best os everOct 24 20:29
MinceRthey both like to steal stuff from *bsd already anywayOct 24 20:29
MinceRmight as well be honest about itOct 24 20:29
MinceRAdrianG: jobs knew how to exploit idiotsOct 24 20:29
MinceRand m$ knew how to exploit stupid ibmOct 24 20:30
AdrianGnah, he just gave people what they wanted.Oct 24 20:30
MinceRthat's how they got bigOct 24 20:30
AdrianGnow, apple will dieOct 24 20:30
MinceRi hope soOct 24 20:30
AdrianGbecause nobody cares about what the end consumer wants exactlyOct 24 20:30
AdrianGthey are going to do what you think is the right thing to doOct 24 20:30
MinceRthis industry could use more actual competition and less bluster and lawsuitsOct 24 20:30
AdrianGdecide in your mind whats best, and try to sell itOct 24 20:30
AdrianGit fails every time.Oct 24 20:30
MinceRalso, let engineers design productsOct 24 20:31
AdrianGthe best way to tank a product i thinkOct 24 20:31
AdrianGis to let engineers define everythingOct 24 20:31
MinceRi can see how that tanked the ibm pcOct 24 20:31
MinceRor unixOct 24 20:31
AdrianGit did tank itOct 24 20:31
MinceRwhen?Oct 24 20:31
AdrianGibm got ouf ot the pc business long time goOct 24 20:31
AdrianGin case u forgot.Oct 24 20:31
MinceRand the architecture was a massive successOct 24 20:32
MinceRin case you forgotOct 24 20:32
AdrianGarchitecture is not a product.Oct 24 20:32
AdrianGyou dont buy an architecture.Oct 24 20:32
AdrianGyou buy a pc.Oct 24 20:32
MinceRwhich is an architectureOct 24 20:32
MinceRoh snapOct 24 20:32
AdrianGno, pc is a product.Oct 24 20:32
MinceRalso, it didn't tankOct 24 20:32
AdrianGits not an architecture, and nobody gives two shits about the arch anywayOct 24 20:32
AdrianGlook at the androidOct 24 20:32
MinceRthey kept going for a long timeOct 24 20:32
AdrianGits not even x86.Oct 24 20:32
MinceRso?Oct 24 20:33
AdrianGdoing so horribly bad.Oct 24 20:33
AdrianGarch is irrelevant.Oct 24 20:33
MinceRnot when you're building hardware.Oct 24 20:33
AdrianGwhats important, is the end product, and how well it responds to consumers demandsOct 24 20:33
AdrianGif the arch is not supporting that - the product will fail.Oct 24 20:33
AdrianGand so would ibm pc, if not for billy gatesOct 24 20:33
MinceRalso, android, and linux in it, is beating ios (not the cisco one)Oct 24 20:33
MinceRno, it was not up to gatesOct 24 20:33
MinceRwe did not need gates for cp/mOct 24 20:33
MinceRwe did not need gates for unix eitherOct 24 20:34
AdrianGonly nobody gives a fuck for cp/m ond esktopOct 24 20:34
MinceRand he obviously didn't design the pcOct 24 20:34
AdrianGor unix on desktop either, unless its osxOct 24 20:34
MinceRexcept everybody cared when it was called "dos"Oct 24 20:34
AdrianGibm pc was a success because of ms officeOct 24 20:34
MinceRcitation needed.Oct 24 20:34
AdrianGwhich would run just fine on any other archOct 24 20:34
MinceRno it could notOct 24 20:34
AdrianGofc it couldntOct 24 20:34
MinceRmost of m$'s crap is heavily tied to one architectureOct 24 20:35
AdrianGthats why it ran on macs this whole time.Oct 24 20:35
MinceR"macs" are just pcs.Oct 24 20:35
AdrianGor recently ported to armOct 24 20:35
AdrianGMinceR: wat?Oct 24 20:35
MinceRisn't "ms office" on arm just a web application?Oct 24 20:35
AdrianGapple moved to x86 only recentlyOct 24 20:35
MinceRnot so recentlyOct 24 20:35
AdrianGoffice 365 is a new bs from msftOct 24 20:35
AdrianGthey had a binary app for macs for the longest timeOct 24 20:35
AdrianGif not foreverOct 24 20:36
MinceRthey ported it to macosOct 24 20:36
MinceRthat did not make it architecture-independentOct 24 20:36
AdrianG Microsoft Word 97 and Excel 97 however did ship for the DEC Alpha platform. Oct 24 20:36
AdrianGdec alpha, mac osOct 24 20:36
AdrianGosxOct 24 20:36
AdrianGetcOct 24 20:36
AdrianGcouldnt run on a different arch. ofc.Oct 24 20:36
AdrianGarch is irrelevant.Oct 24 20:36
MinceRno it isn'tOct 24 20:37
AdrianGoh yeahOct 24 20:37
AdrianGx86 is also a shit arch.Oct 24 20:37
MinceRwhen an add-on card needs to work with a computer, architecture is very relevantOct 24 20:37
AdrianGand we still use it.Oct 24 20:37
MinceRof course it isOct 24 20:37
AdrianGbecause of pc/windows/officeOct 24 20:37
AdrianGnot because x86 is so greatOct 24 20:37
AdrianGits a shitty arch.Oct 24 20:37
MinceRbut at the same time, it was (afaik) the first architecture that was so open and flexibleOct 24 20:37
AdrianGits just that intel has an enormous technology leadOct 24 20:37
MinceRat least in a price range that was widely availableOct 24 20:37
MinceRaccessibleOct 24 20:37
AdrianGand wintel monopoly has no real competitionOct 24 20:37
MinceRothers could make "clones" of itOct 24 20:38
AdrianG(on desktop)Oct 24 20:38
AdrianGMinceR: so wat?Oct 24 20:38
AdrianGu could clone other archs tooOct 24 20:38
MinceRand be sued to deathOct 24 20:38
AdrianGwtf does it mean, clone an arch?Oct 24 20:38
AdrianGput an intel cpu on another mobo?Oct 24 20:38
MinceRwhat made pc-s successfulOct 24 20:38
AdrianGmsft made them successfulOct 24 20:38
AdrianGnot x86Oct 24 20:38
MinceRothers were allowed to manufacture and sell their ownOct 24 20:38
AdrianGif anything x86 was a bad garbage they had to deal withOct 24 20:39
MinceRand msft wasn't?Oct 24 20:39
AdrianGhopefully it dies soonOct 24 20:39
MinceRand msft wasn't?Oct 24 20:39
AdrianGhave u actually coded asm?Oct 24 20:39
MinceRi haveOct 24 20:39
AdrianGfor x86 vs say solaris riscOct 24 20:39
MinceRx86 real modeOct 24 20:39
AdrianGits shit.Oct 24 20:39
AdrianGthe only reason we use it is because its widespread, like qwertyOct 24 20:39
AdrianGand because of wintelOct 24 20:39
MinceRrisc isn't meant to hand-code asm for, thoughOct 24 20:39
MinceRand an architecture is a lot more than just an ISAOct 24 20:40
AdrianGnothing is meant to hand-code asm anymoreOct 24 20:40
MinceR(instruction set architecture)Oct 24 20:40
AdrianGits pointless to even try these days with multicoresOct 24 20:40
MinceRCISC was originally designed for itOct 24 20:40
AdrianGbut the fact that instruction set in x86 is crapOct 24 20:40
MinceRand modern x86 has CISC over RISCOct 24 20:40
AdrianGthe isa, arch, and even OS itselfOct 24 20:41
AdrianGis becoming slowly less and less relevantOct 24 20:41
MinceRyes, it isOct 24 20:41
MinceRbut i think computing would be vastly inferior if it weren't for the pc clonesOct 24 20:41
AdrianGnah, we'd just use some other standardOct 24 20:41
MinceRwell, i guess the same thing would have happened eventually anywayOct 24 20:42
AdrianGits the standard that got as so far anywayOct 24 20:42
MinceRthat's the answer for most of these thingsOct 24 20:42
AdrianGwhich is the problem with open source, nobody can agree on shitOct 24 20:42
MinceRnobody really needs toOct 24 20:42
AdrianGthats why in the end you always end up with some private corpOct 24 20:42
AdrianGrunning shitOct 24 20:42
AdrianGlike apple, ibm, googleOct 24 20:42
MinceRwe can all get along, we can fork if we need toOct 24 20:42
AdrianGthey just force a standard on everyoneOct 24 20:42
MinceRnot alwaysOct 24 20:42
AdrianGand tho unpleasant, it is actually helpfulOct 24 20:43
MinceRsome of these standards spread against the intention of those companiesOct 24 20:43
AdrianGlike you really think apple did fuck all?Oct 24 20:43
AdrianGthe reason we have this whole smartphone nonsense all over is because of appleOct 24 20:43
MinceRthey stole a lot of ideasOct 24 20:43
MinceRnopeOct 24 20:43
AdrianGnow they are falling behindOct 24 20:43
AdrianGbut they broke thru it firstOct 24 20:43
MinceRsmartphones existed before themOct 24 20:43
AdrianGyeah they existedOct 24 20:43
MinceRsmartphones that looked like the hypePhone existed before the hypePhoneOct 24 20:43
AdrianGonly they didnt do shitOct 24 20:43
AdrianGthere was no ecosphereOct 24 20:43
MinceRonly they did what hypePhones still can't doOct 24 20:43
AdrianGapple came around, and created an ecosphereOct 24 20:43
AdrianGnah its not about the actual deviceOct 24 20:44
MinceRthey already had open architectures, sideloaded applications, shared filesystemsOct 24 20:44
AdrianGits about a whole ecosphereOct 24 20:44
AdrianGthat u can just sit down and start usingOct 24 20:44
MinceRsure, it's about fraudulent claims of jobs having invented everything including sliced bread, the wheel and the kitchen sinkOct 24 20:44
AdrianGlike do you think a doctor wants to go get an engineering degreeOct 24 20:44
AdrianGjust so that he can use phones properly?Oct 24 20:44
AdrianGhe's a doctor.Oct 24 20:44
MinceRi had a smartphone before the hypePhone even existedOct 24 20:44
MinceRi could just sit down and use itOct 24 20:44
MinceRit had a lot of applications availableOct 24 20:45
AdrianGoh pls.Oct 24 20:45
AdrianGthere used to be barely any srs appsOct 24 20:45
MinceRoh, and it could multitaskOct 24 20:45
MinceR"srs apps", like flashlight apps and fart sound apps?Oct 24 20:45
MinceRor additional interfaces to your favorite social networking site?Oct 24 20:45
AdrianGi have an android phoneOct 24 20:45
AdrianGand there is a shit ton of apps that arent for androidOct 24 20:45
AdrianGand only available on iosOct 24 20:45
AdrianGlike legit producitivty tools. and good apps too.Oct 24 20:45
AdrianGyou know why?Oct 24 20:46
MinceRwow, there's a shit ton of apps for all sorts of OS-esOct 24 20:46
AdrianGbecause ios devs make money.Oct 24 20:46
AdrianGandroid devs dontOct 24 20:46
MinceRthere are lots of apps that aren't for hypeOSOct 24 20:46
AdrianGyesOct 24 20:46
AdrianGdid u see how much ios apps make vs android apps?Oct 24 20:46
MinceRalso, software engineering isn't only about making moneyOct 24 20:46
MinceRi know gates could never understand thisOct 24 20:46
MinceRbut you couldOct 24 20:46
MinceRi hopeOct 24 20:46
AdrianGMinceR: how do i pay for my mortgage and my kids college w/o moneyOct 24 20:47
MinceR(remember gates' letter to hobbyists?)Oct 24 20:47
AdrianGi work for money.Oct 24 20:47
AdrianGdont care, ios, risc, web apps, mainframeOct 24 20:47
MinceRi develop software both for money and for other reasonsOct 24 20:47
AdrianGwhatever pays best.Oct 24 20:47
AdrianGi might even give up dev work entirely and go do net.sec.Oct 24 20:47
AdrianGits ridic overpaid.Oct 24 20:47
MinceRand apparently no skills are needed eitherOct 24 20:48
AdrianGin net.sec?Oct 24 20:48
MinceRyesOct 24 20:48
AdrianGany dev who knows what they are doing can go do net sec.Oct 24 20:48
AdrianGits just a specialized domain.Oct 24 20:48
AdrianGnot one network security guy i know can codeOct 24 20:48
AdrianGthey cant even write basic scripts to call some soap apiOct 24 20:49
MinceRpeople don't get fired for running microsoft everything, standardizing on ie6 and pretending that a vpn and some crappy AV will make it all omg-secureOct 24 20:49
AdrianGlolOct 24 20:49
AdrianGits a lot more complicated.Oct 24 20:49
MinceRi'm sure it isOct 24 20:49
MinceRespecially when the crap they evangelize so much fucks up (yet again)Oct 24 20:50
AdrianGthats just desktop security u've mentionedOct 24 20:50
AdrianGnet.sec is entirely different.Oct 24 20:50
MinceRno, they also put m$ crap on "servers" tooOct 24 20:50
MinceRIIS, AD, ISA ServerOct 24 20:50
MinceRMS SQLOct 24 20:50
AdrianGagain, thats not net.secOct 24 20:50
MinceRand they even make some of them publicly availableOct 24 20:50
MinceRat least m$ had the sense to hide theirs behind GNU/Linux machines...Oct 24 20:50

MinceRand routers with default passwordsOct 24 20:54

MinceR:)Oct 24 20:54
AdrianGnever heard of something like that in reality in a serious shopOct 24 20:54
AdrianGbut fax machines right on the main network - all the timeOct 24 20:54
AdrianGthat same national isp had several gigabits of outbound traffic to chinaOct 24 20:55

AdrianGim talking about a real life project im onOct 24 21:10

DaemonFCA reader of the Huntington County Tab wrote in with the concern that children might use school-issued iPads to access immoral content.Oct 24 21:32
DaemonFCI agree.Oct 24 21:32
DaemonFCThe iPad runs proprietary software and facilitates the "purchase" of books, movies, music, and video games that are encumbered with digital handcuffs, which cannot be shared or backed up, and can be remotely disabled or deleted using Apple's universal backdoor. This is immoral.Oct 24 21:32
DaemonFCSomething must be done. Oct 24 21:32

DaemonFCMicrosoft and Apple users are currently amused that they can upgrade to the latest version gratis (free of monetary charge).Oct 24 21:48
DaemonFCI don't know why they're amused by this. Free (as in Freedom) software is usually gratis as well. I haven't ever had to pay to use the latest version of any of my software. (Although I have donated to the FSF, KDE, and EFF several times.)Oct 24 21:48
DaemonFCRyan FarmerOct 24 21:49
DaemonFCabout a minute ago Oct 24 21:49
DaemonFCI'd argue that proprietary user-hostile software like Microsoft and Apple develop is currently going through the "Firefox effect". The availability of better software at a price point of $0 is threatening to ruin their ability to charge users directly.Oct 24 21:49
DaemonFCBut Microsoft and Apple are not charities. When they give away product for free, it's like the tobacco companies that used to cruise around neighborhoods passing out free cigarettes to children. They know that there are other ways to skin the cat. By getting you addicted now, they can profit off of you in some way later, either by charging for features a la carte, or by resuming the up front cost later whenever they think they can get away Oct 24 21:49
DaemonFCwith it again.Oct 24 21:49
DaemonFCUpgrades have never been a major revenue stream for Microsoft or Apple. The copy of Windows that comes bundled with a computer raises the cost of the computer by $50-150. Apple charges like two or three times as much as any other PC maker, and they get away with it because they use OS X as leverage.Oct 24 21:49
Sosumimoronicks coming free as beer was just an apology for the overpriced and userviceable trashcanOct 24 21:57

DaemonFCMinceR: Yeah. I was driving home with some fast food last night and saw some deer getting ready to run out into the road.Oct 24 22:01
DaemonFCSo I stopped and waited for them to pass.Oct 24 22:01
DaemonFCThey're getting to be a major problem out here because all these old people are feeding them.Oct 24 22:01
MinceRi doubt they're as bad as pigeonsOct 24 22:01
MinceRpeople feed them and attract them to the citiesOct 24 22:02
DaemonFCThey just crap on your car.Oct 24 22:02

DaemonFCIf people watched Michael Moore's documentaries, they'd know all about the corrupt contracts that the US entered into.Oct 24 23:17
DaemonFCSome of it is especially egregious. The government didn't pay private military contractors to change the oil in their trucks, so the PMC's just ran the trucks on the same motor oil until they broke down, and then Bush's government bought them brand new trucks.Oct 24 23:17
DaemonFCBut that's hardly the worst thing that Bush did.Oct 24 23:17

schestowitz_bed2"Kelly played Laurie, the promiscuous and malicious older sister of Eric Forman on That '70s Show. She left the show after five years; her character was written out of the show "to attend beauty school". She briefly returned to the show in the fifth season in four episodes, but was replaced with Christina Moore in the sixth season. In an interview with ABC News she admitted that "With That '70s Show I was guilty of a drinking Oct 26 20:00
schestowitz_bed2problem, and I ran."[2] Kelly appeared in a 2005 film, The Food Chain: A Hollywood Scarytale"Oct 26 20:00
schestowitz_bed2"On March 31, 2012, she was arrested on a felony charge of corporal injury upon a spouse, and was released on $50,000 bail. The charge was based on a complaint filed by her ex-boyfriend, John Michas.[5][6] She later made public statements saying that she was the one who had been assaulted, and denied Michas' claim that she assaulted him.[6][7] On May 12, 2012, TMZ reported that the LA County DA declined to file charges.[8]"Oct 26 20:01
schestowitz_bed2"Kelly died August 14, 2013, at age 43.[12] Her manager Craig Wyckoff said Kelly had voluntarily checked herself into a rehabilitation facility several days earlier to receive treatment.[12] Los Angeles County Coroner Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said the cause of Kelly's death may take eight to ten weeks to determine while awaiting toxicology results.[13] On August 21st, 2013, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department announced that it had Oct 26 20:02

schestowitz_bed2The term default should be distinguished from the terms insolvency and bankruptcy.Oct 26 21:21
schestowitz_bed2    "Default" essentially means a debtor has not paid a debt which he or she is required to have paid.Oct 26 21:21
schestowitz_bed2    "Insolvency" is a legal term meaning that a debtor is unable to pay his or her debts.Oct 26 21:21
schestowitz_bed2    "Bankruptcy" is a legal finding that imposes court supervision over the financial affairs of those who are insolvent or in default.Oct 26 21:21

schestowitz_bed2wanna talk about direction of the site?Oct 20 09:39
schestowitz_bed2While others can weigh in?Oct 20 09:39
iophkI guess so.  Oct 20 09:39
schestowitz_bed2Some people favour moving to DrupalOct 20 09:40
schestowitz_bed2Inc. a colleague, who said so this morningOct 20 09:40
iophkThe site does seem to have outgrown it's current CMSOct 20 09:40
schestowitz_bed2I need to sharpen up my drupal skillOct 20 09:40
iophk*itsOct 20 09:40
schestowitz_bed2But that in itself is not a strong enough motivation factor for site CMS fragmenytationOct 20 09:40
schestowitz_bed2I thought about RSS directs, wiki integration, search, eyc.Oct 20 09:41
schestowitz_bed2I also checked out some Drupal themes last nightOct 20 09:41
schestowitz_bed2https://drupal.org/project/themesOct 20 09:42
TechrightsBot-trdrupal.org | Themes | drupal.orgOct 20 09:42
schestowitz_bed2For the most part freeOct 20 09:42
schestowitz_bed2if I can bypass the need to design my own and can just quickly set up drupal, that would be OKOct 20 09:42
iophkI'm thinking with all the old posts, it is important to be able to import from the old CMSOct 20 09:42
iophkCan that be done with Drupal?Oct 20 09:42
iophkOr would the old one be kept around read-only?Oct 20 09:43
schestowitz_bed2the need for people to register with yet another CMS (mediawikialready disabled for signup due to spam) is not an issue because comments are not the key place for discussion, IRC isOct 20 09:43
iophkWith the posts it is important to be able to browse by title, date, and keywords.Oct 20 09:43
schestowitz_bed2since 2008Oct 20 09:43
schestowitz_bed2can import old posts, yes, but the URL structure would changeOct 20 09:43
schestowitz_bed2and that can hurt placement of old articles in SEsOct 20 09:43
iophkI would disagree about the comments, they are important to have in HTML for the search enginesOct 20 09:43
iophkand having them on the same page as the articles gives them context.Oct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2IRC logs are HTMLOct 20 09:44
iophkIRC and microblogs (Twitter etc) are just chaff.Oct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2Somone just sent me two PDFs to publish in the siteOct 20 09:44
iophkIRC logs may be HTML but are without context.Oct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2only hours agoOct 20 09:44
schestowitz_bed2yes, m-blogs are for the lazyOct 20 09:45
iophkCan they be reformatted as HTML or PDF/A?Oct 20 09:45
schestowitz_bed2devolving into inane onep-liners, like SMS cultureOct 20 09:45
iophkPDF can carry nasty payloads these days.Oct 20 09:45
schestowitz_bed2symbols, abbreviations, and no possibility of prose. many people these days just read headlines and summaries -- info overload encourages this.Oct 20 09:45
iophk140 character is not much.  Someone could figure out how to generate grammatically correct sentences and pre-caclulate all the ones that fit into 140 character.Oct 20 09:46
schestowitz_bed2PDF->HTML conversion  is fine only for docs that are simpleOct 20 09:46
iophkThen they could post them on the web and we could be done with microblogging, everything that can be said having been said.Oct 20 09:46
schestowitz_bed2if the source of teh PDF/PS is latex, then exporting to html can be done from the typesetting contextOct 20 09:46
iophkPDF is fine for something on the way to the print queue or /dev/nullOct 20 09:47
iophkbut is no good for anyting elseOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2yes, I don't rely on it muchOct 20 09:47
iophklatex has html converters afaikOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2even publications I submitted to are now converting to HTMLOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2Like Elsevier, CiteSeerOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2Seen some the other dayOct 20 09:47
schestowitz_bed2They're losing influence because people just google for info and end up not in journals, which are mostly PDF and sometimes behind paywallsOct 20 09:48
schestowitz_bed2but that's another topic, let's keep focused on the site. Any decent theme for Drupal?Oct 20 09:48
iophkI haven't looked yet.Oct 20 09:49
schestowitz_bed2Some people never liked the theme in techrights, perhaps now is an opportunity to keep the old one for old posts and start afresh while redirecting RSS feedsOct 20 09:49

schestowitz_bed2we can set up the site like a resource with better structure and drupal will add to the RSS feed any new page while it's being createdOct 20 09:51
JimmyCarterwere having bad luck with coocurrences of necessary traits in leadershipOct 20 09:52
schestowitz_bed2so you might have a new section about patents, linking to some old stuff in the wiki and then adding some new summaries with news as we go alongOct 20 09:52
schestowitz_bed2to new users it would be more like the EFF or FSF siteOct 20 09:52
schestowitz_bed2Not just something like a  paper but more of a broad resource, updating subs as it goes alongOct 20 09:52
schestowitz_bed2JimmyCarter: yeahOct 20 09:53
schestowitz_bed2I'm done being too nice and cocky to US leadershipOct 20 09:53

schestowitz_bed2EFF Updates: Press Releases, Blog Posts, Podcasts, etcOct 20 09:59
schestowitz_bed2It's long overdue for me to subscribe...Oct 20 09:59
iophkThe blog doesn't have such great browsing capabilities.Oct 20 09:59
iophkThey've got date and title in the results list but no keywords.Oct 20 10:00
iophkSpeaking of keywords they use 'intellectual property' instead of copyright, patents, or trademarksOct 20 10:00
schestowitz_bed2lawyersOct 20 10:00
schestowitz_bed2like cindy cohen and that samuels typesOct 20 10:01
schestowitz_bed2donours pay lawyersOct 20 10:01
schestowitz_bed2BTW, mind the age of EFF and ACULAOct 20 10:01
schestowitz_bed2ACLUOct 20 10:01
schestowitz_bed2One is a century oldOct 20 10:01
iophkI'm noticing that even Drupal is not so good for looking at published material.Oct 20 10:04
iophkIt's ok for stuff at the top of the list but not for old articles.Oct 20 10:04
iophkThose still get buried.Oct 20 10:04
iophkAnd are hard to find again.Oct 20 10:04
iophkThe development effort looks to have been on adding widgets rather than core functionality.Oct 20 10:04
schestowitz_bed2That's just a flaw in chronological publishingOct 20 10:05
schestowitz_bed2unlike books with an index and outliningOct 20 10:05
schestowitz_bed2RSS updates in EFF are for the blog onlyOct 20 10:05
schestowitz_bed2they just renamed the "blog" partOct 20 10:06
schestowitz_bed2it is not an aggregateOct 20 10:06
schestowitz_bed2Here's an ideaOct 20 10:06
schestowitz_bed2How about for the next couple of months I focus on reorganising techrights?Oct 20 10:06
schestowitz_bed2Rather than post new stuff?Oct 20 10:06
iophkthat might work, but it would be good to post a littleOct 20 10:06
iophkmaybe one article per dayOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2and maybe use a new CMS or front page or whatever, carefully crafting it to address current issue, like patents rather than Novell and OOXMLOct 20 10:07
iophkyou can queue them up and publish them over a few daysOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2yes, can do bothOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2but generally redesign the whole site alsoOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2making ~17,000 pages easier to reach by topicOct 20 10:07
schestowitz_bed2and consolidating some wiki parts, they can be grafted inOct 20 10:08
schestowitz_bed2without touching any of the old pages, leaving them as they areOct 20 10:08
iophkyes, by topic would be goodOct 20 10:08
schestowitz_bed2http://www.fsf.org/ looks similar to EFFOct 20 10:08
schestowitz_bed2Even the coloursOct 20 10:08
TechrightsBot-trwww.fsf.org | Front Page — Free Software Foundation — working together for free softwareOct 20 10:08
schestowitz_bed2but EFF attracts FAR more fundingOct 20 10:08
iophkEFF doesn't have a whisper campaign against it and its founderOct 20 10:09
iophkRMS does throw the F-word around a lot.Oct 20 10:09
schestowitz_bed2maybe EFF has led the FSF to trying to imitate, or sort of associate, they already collaborate in some public interests motionsOct 20 10:09
iophkFor some people it is too much.Oct 20 10:09
schestowitz_bed2EFF did some campaigning against Canonical's spywarteOct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2before the FSF didOct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2FSF did this after I told RMS that EFF had done this and FSF should alsoOct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2 new text on top of FSF site, exploiting NSA scandals:Oct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2"We empower people to collaborate on software that respects your freedom and helps protect your data from spying.'Oct 20 10:10
schestowitz_bed2That's newOct 20 10:11
schestowitz_bed2'Please make a donation to the FSF so we can continue to work for your freedom, privacy, and security."Oct 20 10:11
schestowitz_bed2Privacy and security"Oct 20 10:11
iophkSoftware freedom fits in many contextsOct 20 10:11
schestowitz_bed2yes, but this one is trendy at the momentOct 20 10:11
schestowitz_bed2I got two PDFs about privacyOct 20 10:11
schestowitz_bed2how to protect one's privacyOct 20 10:12
schestowitz_bed2one is a 10-page manualOct 20 10:12
schestowitz_bed2for windows unfortunately, but promoting FOSS like PGP in WindowsOct 20 10:12
iophkBuilding on a foundation of sand...Oct 20 10:12

schestowitz_bed2iophk: yes, but many refuse to leave Windows, for nowOct 20 10:13
iophkword on the street for  decade is that Windows is heavily backdoored, now it's confirmedOct 20 10:13
schestowitz_bed2So it might be better to  at least appreciate some FOSS on WindowsOct 20 10:13
iophkCardboard locks...Oct 20 10:13
schestowitz_bed2Anyway, about DrupalOct 20 10:13
schestowitz_bed2Should we spent months rebuilding for structural improvementsOct 20 10:13
schestowitz_bed2Like pages about the chronology of Novell stuff?Oct 20 10:14
iophkHow are you with PHP?Oct 20 10:14
schestowitz_bed2The chronicles of Novell so to speak?Oct 20 10:14
schestowitz_bed2Groklaw attempted to organise stuff by casesOct 20 10:14
schestowitz_bed2iophk: I did a bit, I can hack on itOct 20 10:14
schestowitz_bed2not write fluently from the ground upOct 20 10:14
iophkYes but that can be done on the fly if the articles are properly keyworded.Oct 20 10:14
schestowitz_bed2like open sql sockets in phpOct 20 10:14
schestowitz_bed2adding keywords is not always enoughOct 20 10:15
schestowitz_bed2need to seam things upOct 20 10:15

schestowitz_bed2compare [1] to the rest, from the first you get an overview with links, a bit like PR Watch does, it's a source of inspiration of sortsOct 20 10:16
iophkCan drupal have several parallel keyword namespaces?Oct 20 10:16
schestowitz_bed2Also, there's a chance for redesign, or an alternative approach into articles past and presentOct 20 10:16
schestowitz_bed2iophk: define thatOct 20 10:17
iophkYou could have a separate namespace for the caseOct 20 10:17
schestowitz_bed2on their own, I know the termsOct 20 10:17
iophkin addition to one that is descriptiveOct 20 10:17
schestowitz_bed2Maybe with added modulesOct 20 10:17
iophkIf you look at the EFF deeplinksOct 20 10:17
iophkyou can see they have keywordsOct 20 10:17
schestowitz_bed2usually there are categories and tagsOct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2which can be treated like two separate namespacesOct 20 10:18
iophkif you click on a keyword (aka  tag) it gives you a searchOct 20 10:18
iophkof that namespaceOct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2WordPress has tags too, I just never use themOct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2And I don't add new categories, it would mess things upOct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2search on tags is not goodOct 20 10:18
schestowitz_bed2it's still serialised by timeOct 20 10:18
iophkIf you can have two separate 'tag' hierarchies, one could be for the case (e.g. Novell)Oct 20 10:19
schestowitz_bed2so if I click OOXML I don't get a cloud of anything, just a list of latest 10 posts or whatever is specified as defaultOct 20 10:19
schestowitz_bed2Wordpress search just does the same, no weighting based on content, which is why Google search is offered as an option -- one that I use a lot to find older postsOct 20 10:19
iophkOk clicking on it, if it works right, should give you all articles "tagged" ooxmlOct 20 10:19
schestowitz_bed2not allOct 20 10:20
schestowitz_bed2the latest -- yesOct 20 10:20
iophkusually it is sorted by chronological orderOct 20 10:20
schestowitz_bed2and BTW, there used to be a page with list of all articlesOct 20 10:20
iophkdoing a subsearch is probably not possibleOct 20 10:20
iophkwith the old for-pay databases it was possible to narrow a searchOct 20 10:20
schestowitz_bed2but after a year it became CPU murder and timed out, there were over 1000 results returned from the queryOct 20 10:20
iophkbut those had text interfacesOct 20 10:20
iophk1000 is a small setOct 20 10:21
iophkif it loaded the CPU something was very wrong with the codeOct 20 10:21
iophkDoes drupal use mysql or postgresql?Oct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2it generated PDF, I thinkOct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2there was also an option for full articles downloadOct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2as PDFOct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2back around 2006-2007Oct 20 10:21
schestowitz_bed2Now that would be like 3e GB of PDF textOct 20 10:22
schestowitz_bed2not including the imagesOct 20 10:22
iophkusually those were stored as files, being PDF.Oct 20 10:22
schestowitz_bed2The FSF site is ugly, theme-wiseOct 20 10:22
iophkMost themes are uglyOct 20 10:22
schestowitz_bed2I look at it right now... they need a redesignOct 20 10:22
iophkyou get to choose between ugly and fugly for most ofthemOct 20 10:22

schestowitz_bed2A lot of off-the-shelf ones are rudimentary, so a lot of extra work remains to be doneOct 20 11:48
Guest70688schestowitz_bed2, Most likely they started with ZEN, but if you read about, they employed some people and they did a lot customization themselves, plus I guess built some modules too.Oct 20 11:50

DaemonFCI was parking my car down at the end, because the parking spaces go about 3 more feet from the road.Oct 20 23:13

DaemonFCThat reminded me of that "Shakey Shakey Shakey" commercial.Oct 20 23:14
DaemonFCSo I sat there for a minute and tried to figure out the most likely place for it to come crashing down if wind or lightning brought the entire tree down.Oct 20 23:14
DaemonFCand then I started parking my car on the main row of parking spaces. Close to my apartment but far enough away that the tree would land on the roof of the apartment strip across the sidewalk if it came down in the direction of the parking spaces.Oct 20 23:15

DaemonFCI'm not worried about their roof, I'm worried about my car. Oct 20 23:15

*DaemonFC is glad he decided to buy that 1996 Crown Vic.Oct 21 01:25
DaemonFCGood car.Oct 21 01:25
DaemonFCMom asked why I didn't just buy that 2004 model that was like $300 more.Oct 21 01:25
DaemonFCI said "It had an exhaust leak that was going to cost $650 to fix. The transmission fluid was burned, which means that a new transmission wasn't far off. The last owner wasn't even changing their oil. There was also a problem with the blend door actuator motor that was going to require the entire dash to be taken apart."Oct 21 01:27
DaemonFCThe car was just abused and neglected and there wasn't going to be a single thing on it that was any damned good.Oct 21 01:27
DaemonFCIt'd probably run for another year, maybe, and then we'd be getting into some really expensive shit, like a rebuilt transmission.Oct 21 01:28
DaemonFCIt really pisses me off that people don't take care of their stuff.Oct 21 01:28
DaemonFCIt's not even mine and it makes me mad.Oct 21 01:28
DaemonFCI'm going to get my car repainted next year.Oct 21 01:29
DaemonFCThe paint job isn't looking terrific right now. It's not terrible, but it needs some attention.Oct 21 01:30
DaemonFCThe mechanical and interior condition is excellent though.Oct 21 01:30
DaemonFCI can drive it around with a paint job that's not looking fantastic while I save up to get it redone.Oct 21 01:30
DaemonFCI'll probably get it repainted the same color. I'm not wild about the color, but it's not a bad color either. Changing the color would add about $500-800 to the paint job, so I'll leave the color alone.Oct 21 01:31
DaemonFCI'm just going to have them mask, sand, and spray.Oct 21 01:33
DaemonFCI could have it done top-notch where they take the glass out, and take the doors, hood, and trunk lid off, and so on, but that would add about $1,800 worth of labor.Oct 21 01:34
DaemonFCThe paint job I want is probably going to cost about $1,500, but the car needs a little bit of body work too. I'm going to go after-market on that.Oct 21 01:35
DaemonFCIt'll look good when I'm done. They said they have a five year warranty on their paint jobs. If it starts to peel or crack or something, they'll sand it down and redo it for free.Oct 21 01:35
DaemonFCPeople are finding out just how long those 1990s cars can last. The bad economy makes it more practical to just fix what you have.Oct 21 01:36
DaemonFCI don't have huge doubts about this car. I think it'll last another 10-15 years.Oct 21 01:38
DaemonFCThe big problem I'm having out of it right now is that it's just way too damned fast. :)Oct 21 01:39
DaemonFCI looked down last night and noticed I was doing 50 in a 35. :POct 21 01:39
DaemonFCI got my radar detector out of the Taurus when I sold it. Put it in the Crown Vic.Oct 21 01:40
DaemonFCThose cops like to sneak around in their unmarked cars, but the radar detector always gives me a heads up.Oct 21 01:40
DaemonFCThey're illegal to use in Virginia and DC though. The cops there have a radar detector detector.Oct 21 01:41

schestowitz_bed2I caught the article on Wired a few days ago and mentioned it in Techrights, some 'social' (surveillance) networks (people then reshared it through me), and in IRC. I got several positive comments about this article being shared through me, including one from a person who openly said he disliked you -- he said to me that this time for a change he agrees with you and then he shared this article with his online friends. When your Oct 21 06:26

DaemonFCIt had a 3.0 V6 and it was a few hundred pounds lighter than what I drive now.Oct 21 19:41
DaemonFCand it actually got worse gas mileageOct 21 19:42
DaemonFCI didn't feel like looking into it too much. I know the fuel tank wasn't leaking.Oct 21 19:42
DaemonFCprobably a leaking injector or the oxygen sensorsOct 21 19:42
DaemonFCnot my problem nowOct 21 19:42
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 19:42
Sosumiout sight, out of mindOct 21 19:43
DaemonFCyupOct 21 19:43
DaemonFCof course the government propaganda and "news" media kept referring to the Crown Vic as a gas guzzler.Oct 21 19:43
DaemonFCIt's not, but that didn't stop them.Oct 21 19:43
DaemonFCV8 = gas guzzler by default to those idiotsOct 21 19:43
DaemonFCIt was sort of true with the old ones, with the carburetors.Oct 21 19:45
DaemonFCWhen they went fuel injected, the gas mileage really went up.Oct 21 19:45

DaemonFC"fuel injector cleaner"Oct 21 19:48
Sosumisnake oilOct 21 19:48
DaemonFCYour fuel injectors should never need cleaning unless your fuel filter has a bypass that lets unfiltered gasoline go through the system if it gets clogged.Oct 21 19:49
DaemonFC(thus completely missing the point of a FILTER, but that's GM for you)Oct 21 19:49
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 19:49
Sosumithat's trueOct 21 19:49
AdrianGare u sure they never need cleaningOct 21 19:49
AdrianGbecause you do get carbon deposits with time.Oct 21 19:49
DaemonFCIf you do like I do, and insist on fuel filters without a bypass, your car won't start if the filter gets clogged, but you won't ever need to clean your injectorsOct 21 19:50
DaemonFCThe only way they should need cleaned is if your fuel filter has been bypassed for quite some time.Oct 21 19:50
DaemonFCUnfortunately, the ones that have a bypass won't tell you that they're clogged and are using it.Oct 21 19:50
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 19:50
DaemonFCUse a no-bypass filter and change it about every 30,000 miles.Oct 21 19:51
DaemonFCThe only way to really get your injectors cleaned properly if they do get clogged is to have a mechanic clean them individually, which is incredibly expensive.Oct 21 19:52
DaemonFCIt's better to just make sure your fuel filter is clean.Oct 21 19:52
AdrianGor even better, drive an electric car.Oct 21 19:52
DaemonFCWalmart has a $29.99 fuel system cleaning service. Someone asked me about that. I said "For $29.99, it's probably just some guy dumping crap into your gas tank."Oct 21 19:52
AdrianGfewer fluids to worry about.Oct 21 19:53
DaemonFCYeah, but the replacement batteries are very expensive.Oct 21 19:53
DaemonFCYou have to replace them about every 5 years, and they cost about $3,000-$4,000.Oct 21 19:53
DaemonFCand if you plug them in in Indiana, you're charging your car on electricity from coal fired power plants.Oct 21 19:53
AdrianGstill betterOct 21 19:54
AdrianGalso, are you sure they'll only last 5 yrsOct 21 19:54
DaemonFCYeah, except that you have to have somewhere to plug in at.Oct 21 19:54
DaemonFCGas stations don't let you do that.Oct 21 19:54
DaemonFCWhen GM had the EV-1, they set up charging stations all over southern California.Oct 21 19:54
DaemonFCThen they ordered all the EV-1's to be crushed and shut down all charging stations.Oct 21 19:55
DaemonFCIt's good that alot of people are giving up and driving clown cars.Oct 21 19:55
AdrianG?Oct 21 19:55
DaemonFCI'd hate to see what gas would cost if everyone had a car like mine.Oct 21 19:55

AdrianGgood enough.Oct 21 19:56
DaemonFCWhat if I wanted to go 600-700 miles?Oct 21 19:56
DaemonFCI guess I could try to plug it in at a motel room and just hope nobody noticed the cord.Oct 21 19:57
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 19:57
AdrianG300 per day is a slow tripOct 21 19:57
AdrianGbut still better than nothing.Oct 21 19:57
DaemonFCI usually don't stay in a motel room along the way if it's just going to be a day or two.Oct 21 19:57
DaemonFCI just pull over at a rest stop and sleep in the car.Oct 21 19:58
DaemonFCMost truck stops have showers and a McDonalds or something. Oct 21 20:00
DaemonFCSomeone asked if it's OK to use Walmart's Super Tech motor oil.Oct 21 20:05
DaemonFCSure it is.Oct 21 20:05
DaemonFCI used to use it all the time.Oct 21 20:05
DaemonFClike 7-8 years ago it was 88 cents per quartOct 21 20:05
DaemonFCit's just recycled oil with a fresh detergent package in itOct 21 20:06
DaemonFCThere's no point using it now though. It's like $2 per quart, and Valvoline is $2.40. :)Oct 21 20:06
DaemonFCIt used to be that if you used recycled oil, you got it really cheap because some people didn't want to use it.Oct 21 20:07
DaemonFCNow because of that "save the Earth" crap, they just call it "Earth Friendly" motor oil, charge the same price, and keep the difference in their own pockets.Oct 21 20:08
DaemonFCNow I just use what goes on sale or has good rebates.Oct 21 20:10
DaemonFCSo I switch from Valvoline to Quaker State to Castrol. Oct 21 20:10
DaemonFCIf you get them in the five quart bottles on a good sale at the auto part stores, they're like $1.60-$1.80 per quart.Oct 21 20:11
AdrianGhow often is motor oil recycledOct 21 20:15
DaemonFCWell, it's just a filtering process.Oct 21 20:18
DaemonFCThey filter it really good and then add a new detergent package.Oct 21 20:18
DaemonFCIt should be just as good as new.Oct 21 20:18
DaemonFCI don't know how often it's recycled actually.Oct 21 20:19
DaemonFCThey don't have to label it that way.Oct 21 20:19
DaemonFCThe bottles that say it's a certain percentage recycled are greenwashing their product.Oct 21 20:19
DaemonFCBut it's likely that most brands have a certain percentage, because it gets costs down.Oct 21 20:19
DaemonFCLet's them sell it at places like Walmart.Oct 21 20:19
DaemonFC*letsOct 21 20:21
DaemonFCIt's better for the environment and there really is no quality difference, but they do it because it's cheap.Oct 21 20:21
DaemonFCLike I said, I used 100% recycled for a long time and never had any engine problems.Oct 21 20:22
DaemonFCI used 100% recycled because it was 88 cents per quart.Oct 21 20:22
DaemonFCIt has to meet all the same specifications or they can't legally sell it.Oct 21 20:23

DaemonFCIt only works with the GNOME desktop, you have to manually invoke the wayland session, it only works with Intel graphics, and it's got some bugs and performance issues that need resolved.Oct 23 00:29
DaemonFCWayland will probably be the default in Fedora 21.Oct 23 00:30

DaemonFCSo if you are just buying subsidized hardware like Playstations and XBOXs and Kindles because you know you can use them in some way that those companies never planned on, then that's good.Oct 23 10:01

Sosumiplus the trashcan seem to have gimped versions of desktop firepro cardsOct 23 14:36
DaemonFCyeahOct 23 14:37
DaemonFCApple's hardware prices are like the price of popcorn and a coke once you get into the movie theater.Oct 23 14:37
DaemonFCWhat costs 25 cents and $1 anywhere else on Earth is now $10 and $5.Oct 23 14:37
DaemonFCThey get you in the store and then they hit you with the prices.Oct 23 14:38
DaemonFCBut they have a financing program.Oct 23 14:38

Sosumisame could be said of the imacOct 23 14:41
DaemonFCand after you've finished carving into the finish.....Oct 23 14:41
DaemonFC:)Oct 23 14:41
Sosumiif you're on macbook pro, expect your fans bearings to crap out after 2 and so yearsOct 23 14:42
DaemonFCI don't get why a computer that's going to be a stationary object needs to be small or use slow laptop hardware.Oct 23 14:42
DaemonFClaptop hardware sucks because it's a sacrifice you make to make it mobileOct 23 14:42
DaemonFCWhy put it it in a stationary desktop computer?Oct 23 14:43
Sosumiform over functionOct 23 14:43
Sosumiand well, they also sacrifice cooling in order to have a "kewl" designOct 23 14:43
DaemonFCmostly passive cooling means slow hardwareOct 23 14:44
Sosumithat is why macbooks and this new imacs can easily reach 90ºCOct 23 14:44
Sosumithe tingle will throttle itself downOct 23 14:44
DaemonFCYou can have fast hardware with passive cooling, but the heatsink is going to be giganticOct 23 14:44
Sosumithat's what I said yesterday, the new mac pro doesn't even have enough headroom to use turbo boostOct 23 14:45
DaemonFCThe PowerPC models were just better.Oct 23 14:45
SosumiyepOct 23 14:45
DaemonFCApple switched to Intel and pocketed the difference.Oct 23 14:45
Sosumithey just didn't want to work with ibm and freescale in the chip designOct 23 14:46
Sosumibut yes ppc was better and actually runned cool in the case of the G4Oct 23 14:46
DaemonFCThere's really no benefit that x86 brings other than that you can run Windows software through Wine.Oct 23 14:46

DaemonFCyeah, they do fade things awayOct 23 14:48
Sosumiwhy do you think I dropped osx last november?Oct 23 14:48
DaemonFCthey pretend like it will continue without them, and then it just stops working at some pointOct 23 14:49
Sosumibecause x11 got kicked into the wasteland aka macorforge/macportsOct 23 14:49
DaemonFCI just don't get how they sell the kind of stuff they sell.Oct 23 14:49
DaemonFCThey lost me when they started selling $300 MP3 playersOct 23 14:50
Sosumithe artsy fartsys folks'll probably keep buying themOct 23 14:50
Sosumiplus those college undergrads who tend to like shiny stuffOct 23 14:51
DaemonFCyeah, ipod has become a generic trademarkOct 23 14:51

Sosumiand downclocked tooOct 23 14:56
Sosumioops, I meant w9000Oct 23 14:56
Sosumi3.5 TFLOPS vs 4 TFLOPSOct 23 14:57
Sosumiwhy get the real thing, when you can pay twice for a gimped versionOct 23 14:57
Sosumiwith gimped driversOct 23 14:58
DaemonFCwell, I enter contests to win ipads and stuff like thatOct 23 15:24
DaemonFCI don't really want one, but someone will pay me money to buy it if I win.Oct 23 15:25
DaemonFCIf they're going to buy it, I might as well get their money instead of them going to the Apple store and buying one anyway.Oct 23 15:25
iophk(16.45.27) DaemonFC: The PowerPC models were just better.Oct 23 15:28

brendynschestowitz_bed2: "When you burn stuff it creates heat, and moreover it emits smoke, which traps heat inside the atmosphere"Oct 23 15:28
SosumiI think he'd have been much better with a nexus 7 or 10Oct 23 15:28
brendynschestowitz_bed2: Preeeetty sure this is a silly mistake. I think the direct heat from burning fuels is not going to do anything to the heat of the planet?Oct 23 15:29
brendynschestowitz_bed2: It's the fumes that effect the atmosphere and ocean that do it, since they really effect the rate of earth radiating heat. earths temperature is basically an equilibrium between input from the sun and nuclear decay in the earth, and radiating heat being lost, and that this is working on orders of magnitudes of energy much higher than direct heat from burning the fuel?Oct 23 15:34
brendynseems obvious to me but could be wrongOct 23 15:34
DaemonFCI still don't see why I should upgrade from my Phenom II X4 system.Oct 23 15:41
DaemonFCIt's not like there have been incredible advances since 2008.Oct 23 15:41

schestowitz_bed2The phrase, "The user is the weakest link," has always irritated me. It sounds like a cop out for decent system design. It's true that you can't rely on users to pick out things that are really random and that pass phrase guessing has been a good way to break cryptography, but that and other flaws of human nature should be worked around. Microsoft has always blamed users for their own design flaws, which we now know is a double Oct 23 21:02

schestowitz_bed2The free software community can do better. We can make distributions like Debian that are have relatively safe repositories of software. We can teach users how to generate decent pass phrases and give them good crypto that does more if required without making people remember nonsensical patterns of numbers and letters. Most of all, we can teach our neighbors how non free software is an injustice. Then people might be able to trustOct 23 21:02

schestowitz_bed2That's really cool but why is the Linux Foundation emphasizing the low cost nature of free software and causing it "frustrating"? It should be apparent that no matter how he got into free software, free software is doing things that can't be done with other software.Oct 24 07:48
schestowitz_bed2Even if it was true 15 years ago that low cost study was the only thing you could do with free software that you could not do with non free software, the end result of that is an abundance of excellent tools for science. That's what the Linux Foundation should be asking about and emphasizing.Oct 24 07:48
schestowitz_bed2The abundance of tools and versatility of free software for science was apparent 10 years ago when I was starting my thesis work. Everything from system level tools, like remote access, to specific analysis tools and publication tools were simply better. What was cooler was how easy it was to make my own tools chain everything together. If I could get expensive replacement tools on another system, I would have been stuck with Oct 24 07:48

AdrianGBRICS Cable. a 34 000 km, 2 fibre pair, 12.8 Tbit/s capacity, fibre optic cable systemOct 24 19:34
AdrianGi hope they lay down like a 100 fibers at least, more moreOct 24 19:34
AdrianGor more*(Oct 24 19:34
iophkYes.  It would have been really bold to go west to China or Australia.Oct 24 19:34
AdrianGso looks like it may happen. very nice.Oct 24 19:35
AdrianGi thought it was just empty talkOct 24 19:35

Sosumiyou mean grillbooks?Oct 24 20:06
MinceRsure, they bought CUPS, but they only made it worseOct 24 20:06
AdrianGand have the best keyboardsOct 24 20:06
*ohama (ohama@cicolina.org) has joined #techrightsOct 24 20:06
AdrianGor second besto after lenovo, altho id say about as goodOct 24 20:06
Sosumiasus kb on the G series is awesome tooOct 24 20:06
Sosumiand full kbOct 24 20:06
MinceReven lenovo isn't as good as keyboards with Cherry MX/ML keymodulesOct 24 20:07
AdrianGMinceR: do u have a single laptop with cherry mx?Oct 24 20:07
MinceRnopeOct 24 20:07
MinceRunfortunately, nobody makes laptops with them, afaikOct 24 20:07
MinceRalso, i'd say eeepcs have pretty good keyboards (except for the layout)Oct 24 20:08
AdrianGSosumi: asus g is not even closeOct 24 20:08
AdrianGkeys arent even shaped.Oct 24 20:08
AdrianGjust flat.Oct 24 20:08
AdrianGyou know why?Oct 24 20:08
MinceR(though they've recently added a second Fn near the cursor keys, that's probably much better)Oct 24 20:08
AdrianGapple patents everything.Oct 24 20:08
MinceRflat keys aren't that goodOct 24 20:08
AdrianGthe magnetic chargerOct 24 20:08
AdrianGwhy doesnt everyone have it?Oct 24 20:08
MinceRthe magnetic charger that's a fire hazardOct 24 20:08
MinceRyeah, i wonder whyOct 24 20:08
AdrianGthere is a patent on it, that apple wont license to anyone.Oct 24 20:09
MinceRperhaps because it's 1) badly made, 2) a gimmick, 3) unnecessaryOct 24 20:09
AdrianGnope, its a patent.Oct 24 20:09
MinceRooh, a patentOct 24 20:09
AdrianGif it werent - it'd be everywhere.Oct 24 20:09
MinceRall bow down before the almighty patentOct 24 20:09
MinceRyawn.Oct 24 20:09
AdrianGlol fire hazard. cmon.Oct 24 20:09
AdrianGpeople like them.Oct 24 20:09
AdrianGand same with apple keyboards. they are also very nice.Oct 24 20:09
AdrianG(laptop keyboards)Oct 24 20:09
AdrianGdont exist anywhere else because of patents.Oct 24 20:10

MinceRlike i said, a gimmick and a fire hazardOct 24 20:10
MinceRibm?Oct 24 20:10
MinceRoh wait, they hold a lot moreOct 24 20:10
MinceRnot that the number of patents mattersOct 24 20:10
AdrianGibm doesnt even make consumer computers anymore.Oct 24 20:10
MinceRmake a point alreadyOct 24 20:10
AdrianGso that leaves apple as the sole innovatorOct 24 20:10
MinceRand yes, people like turds with a crApple logo over themOct 24 20:11
AdrianGfor the recordOct 24 20:11
MinceRpeople are stupid. deal with it.Oct 24 20:11
AdrianGi dont own a single apple productOct 24 20:11
MinceRcool story broOct 24 20:11
AdrianGbut i recognize why they are so competitive.Oct 24 20:11
MinceRthe word you're looking for is _anti-competitive_Oct 24 20:11
AdrianGMinceR: people arent stupid. they just want stuff that worksOct 24 20:11
AdrianGinstead of learning 10 huge tomes on how to operate itOct 24 20:12
MinceRthey have no idea how to get it, thoughOct 24 20:12
AdrianGthey just want it to just work and get on with their lifeOct 24 20:12
AdrianGinstead of learning useless knowledgeOct 24 20:12
MinceRif crApple was that good, they didn't need to rely on lawsuits and marketing gimmicks to sell their crapOct 24 20:12
MinceRs/did/would/Oct 24 20:12
MinceRand generate profitOct 24 20:12
AdrianGMinceR: lolOct 24 20:12
AdrianGdo you really believe that?Oct 24 20:12
MinceRooh, the ultimate troll argumentOct 24 20:12
MinceR"lol"Oct 24 20:12
AdrianGeveryone sues for patents.Oct 24 20:13
AdrianGeveryone.Oct 24 20:13
AdrianGto think that patents are worthless - that is indeed stupid.Oct 24 20:13
MinceRnot everyone attacks everybody aroundOct 24 20:13
AdrianGthey exist, and the legal regime favors patents.Oct 24 20:13
AdrianGnot to patent your invention - is the biggest stupidity anyone would commit.Oct 24 20:13
MinceRnot everyone makes a big drama about everyone stealing their ideas (which is, of course, a lie)Oct 24 20:13
MinceRAdrianG: do you also believe that apple invented the rounded rectangle?Oct 24 20:13
AdrianGif patents would be abolished globallyOct 24 20:13
AdrianGthen yesOct 24 20:13
AdrianGit wouldnt make sense to patent anything.Oct 24 20:14
AdrianGMinceR: lol i am not saying everything apple patents is some kind of grandiose amazing inventionOct 24 20:14
AdrianGbut they do have good ideas.Oct 24 20:14
MinceRpatenting things and offensively suing people for patents is two different thingsOct 24 20:14
MinceRno, they tend to have bad ideasOct 24 20:14
AdrianGlook, they've made unix desktop mainstreamOct 24 20:14
MinceRno, they didn'tOct 24 20:14
AdrianGlinux has been trying and failing for how long?Oct 24 20:14
AdrianGMinceR: osx is a unix, deal with itOct 24 20:14
MinceRthey remade their idiot desktop with a unix base they didn't even madeOct 24 20:14
AdrianGstillOct 24 20:14
MinceRAdrianG: osx shits on every principle of unix, deal with itOct 24 20:15
AdrianGits a unix based os that has a huge marketOct 24 20:15
AdrianGlinux doesnt.Oct 24 20:15
MinceRi don't care for the size of your cult.Oct 24 20:15
AdrianGandroid - again, same storyOct 24 20:15
AdrianGMinceR: whats worseOct 24 20:15
AdrianGosx or androidOct 24 20:15
MinceRAdrianG: osx still can't maximize windows properlyOct 24 20:15
MinceRAdrianG: osx still can't implement virtual desktops properlyOct 24 20:15
MinceRAdrianG: osx still can't implement mouse focus properlyOct 24 20:16
AdrianGMinceR: you should try running a business with your attitudeOct 24 20:16
AdrianGproper - is what sells.Oct 24 20:16
MinceRi'll run a business when i'll have a business case i can rely onOct 24 20:16
AdrianGosx - sells. x-window - doesntOct 24 20:16
MinceRnot before thatOct 24 20:16
MinceRAdrianG: i'm an engineer, i care about what works, not what sellsOct 24 20:17
MinceRAdrianG: and not what people like you worshipOct 24 20:17
AdrianGwhat is - people like you?Oct 24 20:17
MinceRapple cultistsOct 24 20:17
AdrianGim not in the apple cult. i dont even buy their products on principleOct 24 20:17
MinceRpeople who are dumbstruck by shiny nonfunctional crapOct 24 20:17
AdrianGthey are too locked-down.Oct 24 20:17
AdrianGbut i wont dissmis them out of hand as "stupid" or making something that doesnt wprok "properly"Oct 24 20:17
AdrianGit works just fine.Oct 24 20:17
MinceRno it does not.Oct 24 20:17
MinceRi've used their stuff on several occasionsOct 24 20:17
MinceRit was a dismal failure every timeOct 24 20:18
AdrianGwhat kind of engineering do you doOct 24 20:18
MinceRsoftware engineeringOct 24 20:18
AdrianGdo you even have a professional engineer license?Oct 24 20:18
MinceRi don't need oneOct 24 20:18
AdrianGyou are not legally an engineer then.Oct 24 20:18
MinceRi have a master's degreeOct 24 20:18
AdrianGengineering is a licensed profession, like medicine or law.Oct 24 20:18
MinceRdepends on which field of engineeringOct 24 20:18
AdrianGi also do software engineering.Oct 24 20:18
AdrianGjust so that you know.Oct 24 20:18
MinceRthough i guess it would do good to license itOct 24 20:18
AdrianGand yes, tons of engineers (software or otherwise) use macsOct 24 20:19
MinceRmaybe then fiascos like microsoft and apple couldn't get off the groundOct 24 20:19
AdrianGare they all stupid?Oct 24 20:19
MinceRand we'd have working systemsOct 24 20:19
MinceRAdrianG: yesOct 24 20:19
AdrianGlol okOct 24 20:19
MinceRif they use apple products by their own choice, they're stupidOct 24 20:19
AdrianGi was shopping for a laptop recently btwOct 24 20:19
AdrianGbought a samsung series 9 15 inchOct 24 20:19
MinceRafter how many hours spent drooling over a macbook?Oct 24 20:19
AdrianGand ive compared probably dozens of themOct 24 20:19
AdrianGits very hard to compete with apple Oct 24 20:20
MinceRand btw, i'd choose android over osx any dayOct 24 20:20
AdrianGexcept on price ofc.Oct 24 20:20
AdrianGthey are way way overpriced.Oct 24 20:20
MinceRand then root it, and put gnu and x on it.Oct 24 20:20
AdrianGbut, if you disregard the price, they are the best machines.Oct 24 20:20
MinceRno they're notOct 24 20:20
AdrianGwho cares about osxOct 24 20:20
MinceRthey're full of design flawsOct 24 20:20
AdrianGu can run windows on it, liuxOct 24 20:20
AdrianGbsdOct 24 20:20
AdrianGwhateverOct 24 20:20
AdrianGor even android lolOct 24 20:20
MinceRthey're inflexibleOct 24 20:20
AdrianGinflexible?Oct 24 20:20
MinceRthey're limitedOct 24 20:20
AdrianGwatOct 24 20:20
MinceRno configuration optionsOct 24 20:21
MinceRhardware or softwareOct 24 20:21
AdrianGmost laptops are this way in case you havent realizedOct 24 20:21
MinceRnot reallyOct 24 20:21
AdrianGwhat are you going to upgrade?Oct 24 20:21
AdrianGcpu?Oct 24 20:21
AdrianGram?Oct 24 20:21
MinceRi've upgraded ram in a laptopOct 24 20:21
AdrianGso have iOct 24 20:21
MinceRone of my laptops has an open hdd bayOct 24 20:21
MinceRbut the main point was that i have choice of modelsOct 24 20:22
AdrianGwhats the longest you've used a macbook forOct 24 20:24
AdrianGim curiousOct 24 20:24
MinceR0 secondsOct 24 20:24
MinceRi thinkOct 24 20:24
AdrianGyet you know all about itOct 24 20:24
AdrianGwhere did you learn your psychic powers lolOct 24 20:24
MinceRyes, there's this thing we call the internetOct 24 20:24
MinceRi've also used one of their desktop modelsOct 24 20:24
MinceRit was crapOct 24 20:24
MinceRi've also seen a colleague struggle with the unusable gui while trying to make a keynote presentationOct 24 20:25
AdrianGlike those colored tv-tube macs?Oct 24 20:25
MinceRit was embarrassingOct 24 20:25
MinceRno, a relatively recent oneOct 24 20:25
AdrianGidk about their desktops, never used themOct 24 20:25
MinceR(oh, and that presentation was on an apple laptop)Oct 24 20:25
AdrianGexcept for old tv-tube macsOct 24 20:25
MinceRboth run osxOct 24 20:25
AdrianGthey were royal shit btwOct 24 20:25
MinceRwhich is supposed to be the selling pointOct 24 20:25
*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@unaffiliated/daemonfc) has joined #techrightsOct 24 20:25
AdrianGslow and everything. but those are old computers so who caresOct 24 20:25
MinceRthe supposedly user friendly guiOct 24 20:25
MinceRwhich can't manage windows properlyOct 24 20:25
AdrianGit is very user friendlyOct 24 20:26
MinceRand can't be configured properlyOct 24 20:26
MinceRand where the browser hides the scroll bars and they give you a mouse without a working scroll wheelOct 24 20:26
AdrianGmagic mouse?Oct 24 20:26
MinceRmaybeOct 24 20:26
AdrianGit has scrolling.Oct 24 20:26
AdrianGyou should try using apple's touchpad on a macOct 24 20:26
MinceRsure, there must be some way of activating itOct 24 20:27
AdrianGits the best implementation of a touchpad ive ever seen.Oct 24 20:27
MinceRi had no time to play with itOct 24 20:27
MinceRand their presentation application doesn't zoom the slide to the screenOct 24 20:27
MinceRwhile presentingOct 24 20:27
MinceRso you get a tiny little turd in the middle of a screenOct 24 20:27
AdrianGpresentation application is not part of the osOct 24 20:27
MinceRit's a crApple product, thoughOct 24 20:27
AdrianGso they have a crappy presentation app (maybe? i never used it or seen it)Oct 24 20:28
AdrianGwho caresOct 24 20:28
MinceRi guess it would be fine if they toned down the faceOct 24 20:28
AdrianGthe os is good.Oct 24 20:28
AdrianGexcept for being locked down etc.Oct 24 20:28
MinceRstopped claiming everyone steals their ideas (which is a lie)Oct 24 20:28
AdrianGgo try using their trackpadOct 24 20:28
AdrianGits the best thing ever.Oct 24 20:28
MinceRand their idiot cultists shut their fucking mouths alreadyOct 24 20:28
MinceRoh, and they should stop suing everyoneOct 24 20:28
MinceRtry to make a decent product for a change, try to compete that wayOct 24 20:28
MinceRmaybe it won't workOct 24 20:28
MinceRbut at least it wouldn't be so damn disgusting.Oct 24 20:29
AdrianGlolOct 24 20:29
AdrianGtry to compete?Oct 24 20:29
SosumiI just bought a soldering station so I can upgrade my cpu on the trashcan proOct 24 20:29
MinceRhell, they could take freebsd, put a macos skin on it and sell it as "macos xi"Oct 24 20:29
AdrianGppl are buying up their stuff fast.Oct 24 20:29
MinceRit would be their best os everOct 24 20:29
MinceRyeah, people who are only going for the logoOct 24 20:29
AdrianGhow do you think they became so bigOct 24 20:29
MinceRjust like m$ could take freebsd, put a windows skin on it, call it "windows 9" and it would be their best os everOct 24 20:29
MinceRthey both like to steal stuff from *bsd already anywayOct 24 20:29
MinceRmight as well be honest about itOct 24 20:30
MinceRAdrianG: jobs knew how to exploit idiotsOct 24 20:30
MinceRand m$ knew how to exploit stupid ibmOct 24 20:30
AdrianGnah, he just gave people what they wanted.Oct 24 20:30
MinceRthat's how they got bigOct 24 20:30
AdrianGnow, apple will dieOct 24 20:30
MinceRi hope soOct 24 20:30
AdrianGbecause nobody cares about what the end consumer wants exactlyOct 24 20:30
AdrianGthey are going to do what you think is the right thing to doOct 24 20:30
MinceRthis industry could use more actual competition and less bluster and lawsuitsOct 24 20:30
AdrianGdecide in your mind whats best, and try to sell itOct 24 20:30
AdrianGit fails every time.Oct 24 20:31
MinceRalso, let engineers design productsOct 24 20:31
AdrianGthe best way to tank a product i thinkOct 24 20:31
AdrianGis to let engineers define everythingOct 24 20:31
MinceRi can see how that tanked the ibm pcOct 24 20:31
MinceRor unixOct 24 20:31
AdrianGit did tank itOct 24 20:31
MinceRwhen?Oct 24 20:31
AdrianGibm got ouf ot the pc business long time goOct 24 20:32
AdrianGin case u forgot.Oct 24 20:32
MinceRand the architecture was a massive successOct 24 20:32
MinceRin case you forgotOct 24 20:32
AdrianGarchitecture is not a product.Oct 24 20:32
AdrianGyou dont buy an architecture.Oct 24 20:32
AdrianGyou buy a pc.Oct 24 20:32
MinceRwhich is an architectureOct 24 20:32
MinceRoh snapOct 24 20:32
AdrianGno, pc is a product.Oct 24 20:32
MinceRalso, it didn't tankOct 24 20:33
AdrianGits not an architecture, and nobody gives two shits about the arch anywayOct 24 20:33
AdrianGlook at the androidOct 24 20:33
MinceRthey kept going for a long timeOct 24 20:33
AdrianGits not even x86.Oct 24 20:33
MinceRso?Oct 24 20:33
AdrianGdoing so horribly bad.Oct 24 20:33
AdrianGarch is irrelevant.Oct 24 20:33
MinceRnot when you're building hardware.Oct 24 20:33
AdrianGwhats important, is the end product, and how well it responds to consumers demandsOct 24 20:33
AdrianGif the arch is not supporting that - the product will fail.Oct 24 20:33
AdrianGand so would ibm pc, if not for billy gatesOct 24 20:33
MinceRalso, android, and linux in it, is beating ios (not the cisco one)Oct 24 20:33
MinceRno, it was not up to gatesOct 24 20:34
MinceRwe did not need gates for cp/mOct 24 20:34
MinceRwe did not need gates for unix eitherOct 24 20:34
AdrianGonly nobody gives a fuck for cp/m ond esktopOct 24 20:34
MinceRand he obviously didn't design the pcOct 24 20:34
AdrianGor unix on desktop either, unless its osxOct 24 20:34
MinceRexcept everybody cared when it was called "dos"Oct 24 20:34
AdrianGibm pc was a success because of ms officeOct 24 20:34
MinceRcitation needed.Oct 24 20:34
AdrianGwhich would run just fine on any other archOct 24 20:34
MinceRno it could notOct 24 20:35
AdrianGofc it couldntOct 24 20:35
MinceRmost of m$'s crap is heavily tied to one architectureOct 24 20:35
AdrianGthats why it ran on macs this whole time.Oct 24 20:35
MinceR"macs" are just pcs.Oct 24 20:35
AdrianGor recently ported to armOct 24 20:35
AdrianGMinceR: wat?Oct 24 20:35
MinceRisn't "ms office" on arm just a web application?Oct 24 20:35
AdrianGapple moved to x86 only recentlyOct 24 20:35
MinceRnot so recentlyOct 24 20:35
AdrianGoffice 365 is a new bs from msftOct 24 20:36
AdrianGthey had a binary app for macs for the longest timeOct 24 20:36
AdrianGif not foreverOct 24 20:36
MinceRthey ported it to macosOct 24 20:36
MinceRthat did not make it architecture-independentOct 24 20:36
AdrianG Microsoft Word 97 and Excel 97 however did ship for the DEC Alpha platform. Oct 24 20:36
AdrianGdec alpha, mac osOct 24 20:36
AdrianGosxOct 24 20:36
AdrianGetcOct 24 20:37
AdrianGcouldnt run on a different arch. ofc.Oct 24 20:37
AdrianGarch is irrelevant.Oct 24 20:37
MinceRno it isn'tOct 24 20:37
AdrianGoh yeahOct 24 20:37
AdrianGx86 is also a shit arch.Oct 24 20:37
MinceRwhen an add-on card needs to work with a computer, architecture is very relevantOct 24 20:37
AdrianGand we still use it.Oct 24 20:37
MinceRof course it isOct 24 20:37
AdrianGbecause of pc/windows/officeOct 24 20:37
AdrianGnot because x86 is so greatOct 24 20:37
AdrianGits a shitty arch.Oct 24 20:37
MinceRbut at the same time, it was (afaik) the first architecture that was so open and flexibleOct 24 20:37
AdrianGits just that intel has an enormous technology leadOct 24 20:37
MinceRat least in a price range that was widely availableOct 24 20:37
MinceRaccessibleOct 24 20:38
AdrianGand wintel monopoly has no real competitionOct 24 20:38
MinceRothers could make "clones" of itOct 24 20:38
AdrianG(on desktop)Oct 24 20:38
AdrianGMinceR: so wat?Oct 24 20:38
AdrianGu could clone other archs tooOct 24 20:38
MinceRand be sued to deathOct 24 20:38
AdrianGwtf does it mean, clone an arch?Oct 24 20:38
AdrianGput an intel cpu on another mobo?Oct 24 20:38
MinceRwhat made pc-s successfulOct 24 20:38
AdrianGmsft made them successfulOct 24 20:39
AdrianGnot x86Oct 24 20:39
MinceRothers were allowed to manufacture and sell their ownOct 24 20:39
AdrianGif anything x86 was a bad garbage they had to deal withOct 24 20:39
MinceRand msft wasn't?Oct 24 20:39
AdrianGhopefully it dies soonOct 24 20:39
MinceRand msft wasn't?Oct 24 20:39
AdrianGhave u actually coded asm?Oct 24 20:39
MinceRi haveOct 24 20:39
AdrianGfor x86 vs say solaris riscOct 24 20:39
MinceRx86 real modeOct 24 20:39
AdrianGits shit.Oct 24 20:39
AdrianGthe only reason we use it is because its widespread, like qwertyOct 24 20:40
AdrianGand because of wintelOct 24 20:40

AdrianGnothing is meant to hand-code asm anymoreOct 24 20:40
MinceR(instruction set architecture)Oct 24 20:40
AdrianGits pointless to even try these days with multicoresOct 24 20:40
MinceRCISC was originally designed for itOct 24 20:40
AdrianGbut the fact that instruction set in x86 is crapOct 24 20:40
MinceRand modern x86 has CISC over RISCOct 24 20:40
AdrianGthe isa, arch, and even OS itselfOct 24 20:41

MinceRyes, it isOct 24 20:41
MinceRbut i think computing would be vastly inferior if it weren't for the pc clonesOct 24 20:41
AdrianGnah, we'd just use some other standardOct 24 20:42
MinceRwell, i guess the same thing would have happened eventually anywayOct 24 20:42

MinceRsome of these standards spread against the intention of those companiesOct 24 20:43

MinceRthey stole a lot of ideasOct 24 20:43
MinceRnopeOct 24 20:43

MinceRsmartphones existed before themOct 24 20:43

MinceRsmartphones that looked like the hypePhone existed before the hypePhoneOct 24 20:44
AdrianGonly they didnt do shitOct 24 20:44
AdrianGthere was no ecosphereOct 24 20:44

AdrianGapple came around, and created an ecosphereOct 24 20:44
AdrianGnah its not about the actual deviceOct 24 20:44

DaemonFCA reader of the Huntington County Tab wrote in with the concern that children might use school-issued iPads to access immoral content.Oct 24 21:32
DaemonFCI agree.Oct 24 21:32
DaemonFCThe iPad runs proprietary software and facilitates the "purchase" of books, movies, music, and video games that are encumbered with digital handcuffs, which cannot be shared or backed up, and can be remotely disabled or deleted using Apple's universal backdoor. This is immoral.Oct 24 21:32

DaemonFCMicrosoft and Apple users are currently amused that they can upgrade to the latest version gratis (free of monetary charge).Oct 24 21:49
DaemonFCI don't know why they're amused by this. Free (as in Freedom) software is usually gratis as well. I haven't ever had to pay to use the latest version of any of my software. (Although I have donated to the FSF, KDE, and EFF several times.)Oct 24 21:49
DaemonFCRyan FarmerOct 24 21:50
DaemonFCabout a minute ago Oct 24 21:50
DaemonFCI'd argue that proprietary user-hostile software like Microsoft and Apple develop is currently going through the "Firefox effect". The availability of better software at a price point of $0 is threatening to ruin their ability to charge users directly.Oct 24 21:50
DaemonFCBut Microsoft and Apple are not charities. When they give away product for free, it's like the tobacco companies that used to cruise around neighborhoods passing out free cigarettes to children. They know that there are other ways to skin the cat. By getting you addicted now, they can profit off of you in some way later, either by charging for features a la carte, or by resuming the up front cost later whenever they think they can get away Oct 24 21:50
DaemonFCwith it again.Oct 24 21:50
DaemonFCUpgrades have never been a major revenue stream for Microsoft or Apple. The copy of Windows that comes bundled with a computer raises the cost of the computer by $50-150. Apple charges like two or three times as much as any other PC maker, and they get away with it because they use OS X as leverage.Oct 24 21:50

oiaohmI like the java developers complaining about java applet support being turned off in mozilla.Oct 25 11:18
iophkapplets were a misguided ideaOct 25 11:21

iophkIt would take only a little work to get Diaspora functioning.Oct 25 11:22

DaemonFCThe bag was literally dripping grease when you get home.Oct 25 11:38
DaemonFCthey got rid of "biggie" size everything around the same time McDonalds got rid of the "super size" and Burger King got rid of "king size".Oct 25 11:38
DaemonFCyou know, because some FAT FUCK makes a fucking FAT FUCK out of himself and then sues the restaurant, which gave him what he orderedOct 25 11:39
DaemonFCand now everyone has to sufferOct 25 11:39
DaemonFCwhen I was eating their triple cheeseburgers with an entire pound of meat and a "biggie" fries, it was because I was working in a factory and I was starving and Wendys was on the way home from workOct 25 11:40
DaemonFCand it didn't make me fat because I always worked so hard that I couldn't eat fast enough to keep weight onOct 25 11:40
MinceRi thought they only renamed it to mcmenu or somethingOct 25 11:41

DaemonFCit's not something that happens in one dayOct 25 11:42
DaemonFCif you've ordered it once, you know how many calories are in itOct 25 11:42
DaemonFCNow we have Obama's guys in there talking about fast food like it was cigarettes.Oct 25 11:43

DaemonFCor so you'd thinkOct 25 11:45
DaemonFCthe AMA is calling obesity a disease nowOct 25 11:45
DaemonFCobese people are a diseaseOct 25 11:45
DaemonFCso many people have gotten so fat that everyone is now *afraid* to tell them that it was their own damned faultOct 25 11:45
DaemonFCit's not politically correctOct 25 11:46
oiaohmDaemonFC: its not all the person fault.Oct 25 11:49
oiaohmDaemonFC: human body puts on more fat with exposure to toxins as well.Oct 25 11:49
DaemonFCI go and get one of those chocolate xtreme blizzards at Dairy Queen sometimes.Oct 25 11:50
DaemonFCThey have like 1300 calories in themOct 25 11:50
DaemonFCbut for a few days after that I make some cuts and then I'm balancing that out.Oct 25 11:51
oiaohmDaemonFC: some of the over wieght is poor food quality controls.Oct 25 11:51
DaemonFCOf course, if I just added one of those to everything else I was eating that day, I'd be in trouble.Oct 25 11:51
DaemonFConce every few weeks, I hop up on the bathroom scale, and then at that point it's pretty obvious what I have to do for the next week if the number is a few pounds too high.Oct 25 11:53
DaemonFCthey have these federally funded weight loss programsOct 25 11:56
DaemonFCI say get them a bathroom scale, a pencil, and a piece of paper, and let them figure it out.Oct 25 11:56

DaemonFCIf Apple is giving the police the technology to turn off your iPhone while they're beating people, and is giving the RIAA/MPAA the technology to turn off your iPhone so you can't take pictures/record video at a concert or a movie, then why can't they shut off an iPhone user's ability to text while their car is turned on and crash into a person that was driving responsibly?Oct 25 22:20

If you vote, and you elect dishonest incompetent people that get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done!

DaemonFCThis "Grand Bargain" is a grand sellout. It does not ask the rich to sacrifice anything. Nothing. Doesn't ask for another penny from them. Mitt Romney will still be in a lower tax bracket than you, no matter how many hours you work, no matter what your hourly rate is.Oct 25 23:28

schestowitz_bed2iophk: morning..Oct 20 04:37
iophkheyOct 20 04:37
schestowitz_bed2wanna talk about direction of the site?Oct 20 04:39
schestowitz_bed2While others can weigh in?Oct 20 04:39
iophkI guess so.  Oct 20 04:39
schestowitz_bed2Some people favour moving to DrupalOct 20 04:39
schestowitz_bed2Inc. a colleague, who said so this morningOct 20 04:39
iophkThe site does seem to have outgrown it's current CMSOct 20 04:39
schestowitz_bed2I need to sharpen up my drupal skillOct 20 04:39
iophk*itsOct 20 04:39
schestowitz_bed2But that in itself is not a strong enough motivation factor for site CMS fragmenytationOct 20 04:40
schestowitz_bed2I thought about RSS directs, wiki integration, search, eyc.Oct 20 04:40
schestowitz_bed2I also checked out some Drupal themes last nightOct 20 04:40
schestowitz_bed2https://drupal.org/project/themesOct 20 04:41
TechrightsBot-trdrupal.org | Themes | drupal.orgOct 20 04:41
schestowitz_bed2For the most part freeOct 20 04:41
schestowitz_bed2if I can bypass the need to design my own and can just quickly set up drupal, that would be OKOct 20 04:42
iophkI'm thinking with all the old posts, it is important to be able to import from the old CMSOct 20 04:42
iophkCan that be done with Drupal?Oct 20 04:42
iophkOr would the old one be kept around read-only?Oct 20 04:42
schestowitz_bed2the need for people to register with yet another CMS (mediawikialready disabled for signup due to spam) is not an issue because comments are not the key place for discussion, IRC isOct 20 04:42
iophkWith the posts it is important to be able to browse by title, date, and keywords.Oct 20 04:43
schestowitz_bed2since 2008Oct 20 04:43
schestowitz_bed2can import old posts, yes, but the URL structure would changeOct 20 04:43
schestowitz_bed2and that can hurt placement of old articles in SEsOct 20 04:43
iophkI would disagree about the comments, they are important to have in HTML for the search enginesOct 20 04:43
iophkand having them on the same page as the articles gives them context.Oct 20 04:43
schestowitz_bed2IRC logs are HTMLOct 20 04:43
iophkIRC and microblogs (Twitter etc) are just chaff.Oct 20 04:44
schestowitz_bed2Somone just sent me two PDFs to publish in the siteOct 20 04:44
iophkIRC logs may be HTML but are without context.Oct 20 04:44
schestowitz_bed2only hours agoOct 20 04:44
schestowitz_bed2yes, m-blogs are for the lazyOct 20 04:44
iophkCan they be reformatted as HTML or PDF/A?Oct 20 04:44
schestowitz_bed2devolving into inane onep-liners, like SMS cultureOct 20 04:44
iophkPDF can carry nasty payloads these days.Oct 20 04:44
schestowitz_bed2symbols, abbreviations, and no possibility of prose. many people these days just read headlines and summaries -- info overload encourages this.Oct 20 04:45
iophk140 character is not much.  Someone could figure out how to generate grammatically correct sentences and pre-caclulate all the ones that fit into 140 character.Oct 20 04:45
schestowitz_bed2PDF->HTML conversion  is fine only for docs that are simpleOct 20 04:46
iophkThen they could post them on the web and we could be done with microblogging, everything that can be said having been said.Oct 20 04:46
schestowitz_bed2if the source of teh PDF/PS is latex, then exporting to html can be done from the typesetting contextOct 20 04:46
iophkPDF is fine for something on the way to the print queue or /dev/nullOct 20 04:46
iophkbut is no good for anyting elseOct 20 04:46
schestowitz_bed2yes, I don't rely on it muchOct 20 04:47
iophklatex has html converters afaikOct 20 04:47
schestowitz_bed2even publications I submitted to are now converting to HTMLOct 20 04:47
schestowitz_bed2Like Elsevier, CiteSeerOct 20 04:47
schestowitz_bed2Seen some the other dayOct 20 04:47
schestowitz_bed2They're losing influence because people just google for info and end up not in journals, which are mostly PDF and sometimes behind paywallsOct 20 04:47
schestowitz_bed2but that's another topic, let's keep focused on the site. Any decent theme for Drupal?Oct 20 04:48
iophkI haven't looked yet.Oct 20 04:48
schestowitz_bed2Some people never liked the theme in techrights, perhaps now is an opportunity to keep the old one for old posts and start afresh while redirecting RSS feedsOct 20 04:48
iophkokOct 20 04:49
JimmyCarterwhat about militarizing the movementsOct 20 04:49
schestowitz_bed2I said to my wife yesterday, maybe of the pages in TR are from 2006tOct 20 04:49
<--amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)Oct 20 04:49
schestowitz_bed2very out of data,, irrelevant to the extremeOct 20 04:49
schestowitz_bed2*dateOct 20 04:49
schestowitz_bed2So people get confused, seeing stuff about Linspire and stuff, which has been defunct for half a decade nowOct 20 04:49
schestowitz_bed2JimmyCarter: which ones?Oct 20 04:49
schestowitz_bed2We need to get more politicalOct 20 04:49
iophkYes, the date of publication needs to be prominent on displayed articles.Oct 20 04:50
schestowitz_bed2A friend of mine who's a professor said we need to get politicalOct 20 04:50
schestowitz_bed2to be effectOct 20 04:50
schestowitz_bed2he was here for dinner last night, he has known about techrights for yearsOct 20 04:50
iophkI think Lessig and Perens have already made that move.Oct 20 04:50
schestowitz_bed2iophk: drupal has a blog componentOct 20 04:50
iophkRMS did so years ago.Oct 20 04:50
<--DaemonFC has quit (Remote host closed the connection)Oct 20 04:50
schestowitz_bed2but it's nothing exceptionally fancyOct 20 04:50
schestowitz_bed2I think that:Oct 20 04:50
iophkDrupal has about 2000 themesOct 20 04:50
JimmyCarterin usa everyones impressed the teaparty took over the world while occupy did nothingOct 20 04:51
schestowitz_bed2we can set up the site like a resource with better structure and drupal will add to the RSS feed any new page while it's being createdOct 20 04:51
JimmyCarterwere having bad luck with coocurrences of necessary traits in leadershipOct 20 04:51
schestowitz_bed2so you might have a new section about patents, linking to some old stuff in the wiki and then adding some new summaries with news as we go alongOct 20 04:51
schestowitz_bed2to new users it would be more like the EFF or FSF siteOct 20 04:51
schestowitz_bed2Not just something like a  paper but more of a broad resource, updating subs as it goes alongOct 20 04:52
schestowitz_bed2JimmyCarter: yeahOct 20 04:52
schestowitz_bed2I'm done being too nice and cocky to US leadershipOct 20 04:52
schestowitz_bed2Seeing that less than 10% of USians trust their Congress, I'm not in the minorityOct 20 04:53
schestowitz_bed2So as long as I don't take shots at the public, I'm safeOct 20 04:53
schestowitz_bed2NSA, CIA, twoparty system, Senate, secret courts and oppressive police are not so popular, not even among the public they purport to serveOct 20 04:54
JimmyCartertheres a growing populist demand for pragmatism and compassionOct 20 04:54
schestowitz_bed2Wikileaks uses Drupal nowOct 20 04:54
schestowitz_bed2the wiki has become just a sub-partOct 20 04:54

schestowitz_bed2It's long overdue for me to subscribe...Oct 20 04:58
iophkThe blog doesn't have such great browsing capabilities.Oct 20 04:59
iophkThey've got date and title in the results list but no keywords.Oct 20 04:59
iophkSpeaking of keywords they use 'intellectual property' instead of copyright, patents, or trademarksOct 20 05:00
schestowitz_bed2lawyersOct 20 05:00
schestowitz_bed2like cindy cohen and that samuels typesOct 20 05:00

schestowitz_bed2BTW, mind the age of EFF and ACULAOct 20 05:01
schestowitz_bed2ACLUOct 20 05:01
schestowitz_bed2One is a century oldOct 20 05:01
iophkI'm noticing that even Drupal is not so good for looking at published material.Oct 20 05:03
iophkIt's ok for stuff at the top of the list but not for old articles.Oct 20 05:03
iophkThose still get buried.Oct 20 05:03
iophkAnd are hard to find again.Oct 20 05:04
iophkThe development effort looks to have been on adding widgets rather than core functionality.Oct 20 05:04
schestowitz_bed2That's just a flaw in chronological publishingOct 20 05:04
schestowitz_bed2unlike books with an index and outliningOct 20 05:05
schestowitz_bed2RSS updates in EFF are for the blog onlyOct 20 05:05
schestowitz_bed2they just renamed the "blog" partOct 20 05:05
schestowitz_bed2it is not an aggregateOct 20 05:05
schestowitz_bed2Here's an ideaOct 20 05:05
schestowitz_bed2How about for the next couple of months I focus on reorganising techrights?Oct 20 05:06
schestowitz_bed2Rather than post new stuff?Oct 20 05:06
iophkthat might work, but it would be good to post a littleOct 20 05:06
iophkmaybe one article per dayOct 20 05:06
schestowitz_bed2and maybe use a new CMS or front page or whatever, carefully crafting it to address current issue, like patents rather than Novell and OOXMLOct 20 05:06
iophkyou can queue them up and publish them over a few daysOct 20 05:06
schestowitz_bed2yes, can do bothOct 20 05:07
schestowitz_bed2but generally redesign the whole site alsoOct 20 05:07
schestowitz_bed2making ~17,000 pages easier to reach by topicOct 20 05:07
schestowitz_bed2and consolidating some wiki parts, they can be grafted inOct 20 05:07
schestowitz_bed2without touching any of the old pages, leaving them as they areOct 20 05:08
iophkyes, by topic would be goodOct 20 05:08
schestowitz_bed2http://www.fsf.org/ looks similar to EFFOct 20 05:08
schestowitz_bed2Even the coloursOct 20 05:08
TechrightsBot-trwww.fsf.org | Front Page  Free Software Foundation  working together for free softwareOct 20 05:08
schestowitz_bed2but EFF attracts FAR more fundingOct 20 05:08
iophkEFF doesn't have a whisper campaign against it and its founderOct 20 05:08
iophkRMS does throw the F-word around a lot.Oct 20 05:09
iophkFor some people it is too much.Oct 20 05:09
schestowitz_bed2maybe EFF has led the FSF to trying to imitate, or sort of associate, they already collaborate in some public interests motionsOct 20 05:09
schestowitz_bed2EFF did some campaigning against Canonical's spywarteOct 20 05:09
schestowitz_bed2before the FSF didOct 20 05:09
schestowitz_bed2FSF did this after I told RMS that EFF had done this and FSF should alsoOct 20 05:09
schestowitz_bed2 new text on top of FSF site, exploiting NSA scandals:Oct 20 05:10
schestowitz_bed2"We empower people to collaborate on software that respects your freedom and helps protect your data from spying.'Oct 20 05:10
schestowitz_bed2That's newOct 20 05:10
schestowitz_bed2'Please make a donation to the FSF so we can continue to work for your freedom, privacy, and security."Oct 20 05:10
schestowitz_bed2Privacy and security"Oct 20 05:10
iophkSoftware freedom fits in many contextsOct 20 05:10
schestowitz_bed2yes, but this one is trendy at the momentOct 20 05:11
schestowitz_bed2I got two PDFs about privacyOct 20 05:11
schestowitz_bed2how to protect one's privacyOct 20 05:11
schestowitz_bed2one is a 10-page manualOct 20 05:11

schestowitz_bed2iophk: yes, but many refuse to leave Windows, for nowOct 20 05:12
iophkword on the street for  decade is that Windows is heavily backdoored, now it's confirmedOct 20 05:12
schestowitz_bed2So it might be better to  at least appreciate some FOSS on WindowsOct 20 05:12
iophkCardboard locks...Oct 20 05:13
schestowitz_bed2Anyway, about DrupalOct 20 05:13
schestowitz_bed2Should we spent months rebuilding for structural improvementsOct 20 05:13
iophkHow are you with PHP?Oct 20 05:13
schestowitz_bed2Like pages about the chronology of Novell stuff?Oct 20 05:13
schestowitz_bed2The chronicles of Novell so to speak?Oct 20 05:13
schestowitz_bed2Groklaw attempted to organise stuff by casesOct 20 05:13
schestowitz_bed2iophk: I did a bit, I can hack on itOct 20 05:14
schestowitz_bed2not write fluently from the ground upOct 20 05:14
iophkYes but that can be done on the fly if the articles are properly keyworded.Oct 20 05:14
schestowitz_bed2like open sql sockets in phpOct 20 05:14
schestowitz_bed2adding keywords is not always enoughOct 20 05:14
schestowitz_bed2need to seam things upOct 20 05:14
schestowitz_bed2and suggest where there's a story that's not auto-generatedOct 20 05:15

schestowitz_bed2compare [1] to the rest, from the first you get an overview with links, a bit like PR Watch does, it's a source of inspiration of sortsOct 20 05:16
iophkCan drupal have several parallel keyword namespaces?Oct 20 05:16
schestowitz_bed2Also, there's a chance for redesign, or an alternative approach into articles past and presentOct 20 05:16
schestowitz_bed2iophk: define thatOct 20 05:16
iophkYou could have a separate namespace for the caseOct 20 05:16
schestowitz_bed2on their own, I know the termsOct 20 05:17
iophkin addition to one that is descriptiveOct 20 05:17
schestowitz_bed2Maybe with added modulesOct 20 05:17
iophkIf you look at the EFF deeplinksOct 20 05:17
iophkyou can see they have keywordsOct 20 05:17
schestowitz_bed2usually there are categories and tagsOct 20 05:17
schestowitz_bed2which can be treated like two separate namespacesOct 20 05:17
iophkif you click on a keyword (aka  tag) it gives you a searchOct 20 05:17
iophkof that namespaceOct 20 05:17
schestowitz_bed2WordPress has tags too, I just never use themOct 20 05:17
schestowitz_bed2And I don't add new categories, it would mess things upOct 20 05:18
schestowitz_bed2search on tags is not goodOct 20 05:18
schestowitz_bed2it's still serialised by timeOct 20 05:18
iophkIf you can have two separate 'tag' hierarchies, one could be for the case (e.g. Novell)Oct 20 05:18
schestowitz_bed2so if I click OOXML I don't get a cloud of anything, just a list of latest 10 posts or whatever is specified as defaultOct 20 05:18
schestowitz_bed2Wordpress search just does the same, no weighting based on content, which is why Google search is offered as an option -- one that I use a lot to find older postsOct 20 05:19
iophkOk clicking on it, if it works right, should give you all articles "tagged" ooxmlOct 20 05:19
schestowitz_bed2not allOct 20 05:19
schestowitz_bed2the latest -- yesOct 20 05:19
iophkusually it is sorted by chronological orderOct 20 05:19
schestowitz_bed2and BTW, there used to be a page with list of all articlesOct 20 05:19
iophkdoing a subsearch is probably not possibleOct 20 05:20
iophkwith the old for-pay databases it was possible to narrow a searchOct 20 05:20
schestowitz_bed2but after a year it became CPU murder and timed out, there were over 1000 results returned from the queryOct 20 05:20
iophkbut those had text interfacesOct 20 05:20
iophk1000 is a small setOct 20 05:20
iophkif it loaded the CPU something was very wrong with the codeOct 20 05:20
iophkDoes drupal use mysql or postgresql?Oct 20 05:21
schestowitz_bed2it generated PDF, I thinkOct 20 05:21
schestowitz_bed2there was also an option for full articles downloadOct 20 05:21
schestowitz_bed2as PDFOct 20 05:21
schestowitz_bed2back around 2006-2007Oct 20 05:21
schestowitz_bed2Now that would be like 3e GB of PDF textOct 20 05:21
schestowitz_bed2not including the imagesOct 20 05:21
iophkusually those were stored as files, being PDF.Oct 20 05:21
schestowitz_bed2The FSF site is ugly, theme-wiseOct 20 05:22
iophkMost themes are uglyOct 20 05:22
schestowitz_bed2I look at it right now... they need a redesignOct 20 05:22
iophkyou get to choose between ugly and fugly for most ofthemOct 20 05:22

schestowitz_bed2Guest70688: what theme, if any, does sympatec use?Oct 20 06:47
schestowitz_bed2A lot of off-the-shelf ones are rudimentary, so a lot of extra work remains to be doneOct 20 06:47
Guest70688schestowitz_bed2, Most likely they started with ZEN, but if you read about, they employed some people and they did a lot customization themselves, plus I guess built some modules too.Oct 20 06:50
Guest70688So the choices are, in my opinion, Zen, Adaptive Themes, OMEGA and Fusion theme...Oct 20 06:51

DaemonFCI was parking my car down at the end, because the parking spaces go about 3 more feet from the road.Oct 20 18:12
DaemonFCBut then I looked up at that stupid tree that was raining down twigs on my car, and noticed how much it was swaying in the wind.Oct 20 18:13
DaemonFCThat reminded me of that "Shakey Shakey Shakey" commercial.Oct 20 18:13
DaemonFCSo I sat there for a minute and tried to figure out the most likely place for it to come crashing down if wind or lightning brought the entire tree down.Oct 20 18:14
DaemonFCand then I started parking my car on the main row of parking spaces. Close to my apartment but far enough away that the tree would land on the roof of the apartment strip across the sidewalk if it came down in the direction of the parking spaces.Oct 20 18:14
DaemonFCB-)Oct 20 18:14
DaemonFCI'm not worried about their roof, I'm worried about my car. Oct 20 18:15
DaemonFCand with the way shit tends to go down in this town, I'd be willing to bet those people whose property the tree is on don't have homeowners insurance that would compensate me for my carOct 20 18:16

*DaemonFC is glad he decided to buy that 1996 Crown Vic.Oct 20 20:25
DaemonFCGood car.Oct 20 20:25
DaemonFCMom asked why I didn't just buy that 2004 model that was like $300 more.Oct 20 20:25
DaemonFCI said "It had an exhaust leak that was going to cost $650 to fix. The transmission fluid was burned, which means that a new transmission wasn't far off. The last owner wasn't even changing their oil. There was also a problem with the blend door actuator motor that was going to require the entire dash to be taken apart."Oct 20 20:27
DaemonFCThe car was just abused and neglected and there wasn't going to be a single thing on it that was any damned good.Oct 20 20:27
DaemonFCIt'd probably run for another year, maybe, and then we'd be getting into some really expensive shit, like a rebuilt transmission.Oct 20 20:27
DaemonFCIt really pisses me off that people don't take care of their stuff.Oct 20 20:28
DaemonFCIt's not even mine and it makes me mad.Oct 20 20:28
DaemonFCI'm going to get my car repainted next year.Oct 20 20:29
DaemonFCThe paint job isn't looking terrific right now. It's not terrible, but it needs some attention.Oct 20 20:29
DaemonFCThe mechanical and interior condition is excellent though.Oct 20 20:30
DaemonFCI can drive it around with a paint job that's not looking fantastic while I save up to get it redone.Oct 20 20:30
DaemonFCI'll probably get it repainted the same color. I'm not wild about the color, but it's not a bad color either. Changing the color would add about $500-800 to the paint job, so I'll leave the color alone.Oct 20 20:31
DaemonFCI'm just going to have them mask, sand, and spray.Oct 20 20:33
DaemonFCI could have it done top-notch where they take the glass out, and take the doors, hood, and trunk lid off, and so on, but that would add about $1,800 worth of labor.Oct 20 20:34
DaemonFCThe paint job I want is probably going to cost about $1,500, but the car needs a little bit of body work too. I'm going to go after-market on that.Oct 20 20:34
DaemonFCIt'll look good when I'm done. They said they have a five year warranty on their paint jobs. If it starts to peel or crack or something, they'll sand it down and redo it for free.Oct 20 20:35
DaemonFCPeople are finding out just how long those 1990s cars can last. The bad economy makes it more practical to just fix what you have.Oct 20 20:36
DaemonFCI don't have huge doubts about this car. I think it'll last another 10-15 years.Oct 20 20:38
DaemonFCThe big problem I'm having out of it right now is that it's just way too damned fast. :)Oct 20 20:38
DaemonFCI looked down last night and noticed I was doing 50 in a 35. :POct 20 20:39
DaemonFCI got my radar detector out of the Taurus when I sold it. Put it in the Crown Vic.Oct 20 20:39
DaemonFCThose cops like to sneak around in their unmarked cars, but the radar detector always gives me a heads up.Oct 20 20:40
DaemonFCThey're illegal to use in Virginia and DC though. The cops there have a radar detector detector.Oct 20 20:40
DaemonFCSo the radar detectors detect the detector detector and shut down right after they warn you.Oct 20 20:41
DaemonFCB-)Oct 20 20:41
DaemonFCThey're not technically illegal to use in Illinois, but it is against the law there to have anything mounted on your windshield that could obstruct your view, so you should flip that suction cup base upside down and stick the detector to the dashboard. Then they can't fine you.Oct 20 20:42

DaemonFC"fuel injector cleaner"Oct 21 14:48
Sosumisnake oilOct 21 14:48
DaemonFCYour fuel injectors should never need cleaning unless your fuel filter has a bypass that lets unfiltered gasoline go through the system if it gets clogged.Oct 21 14:48
DaemonFC(thus completely missing the point of a FILTER, but that's GM for you)Oct 21 14:48
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 14:48
Sosumithat's trueOct 21 14:49
AdrianGare u sure they never need cleaningOct 21 14:49
AdrianGbecause you do get carbon deposits with time.Oct 21 14:49
DaemonFCIf you do like I do, and insist on fuel filters without a bypass, your car won't start if the filter gets clogged, but you won't ever need to clean your injectorsOct 21 14:49
DaemonFCThe only way they should need cleaned is if your fuel filter has been bypassed for quite some time.Oct 21 14:49
DaemonFCUnfortunately, the ones that have a bypass won't tell you that they're clogged and are using it.Oct 21 14:50
DaemonFC:)Oct 21 14:50
DaemonFCUse a no-bypass filter and change it about every 30,000 miles.Oct 21 14:50
DaemonFCThe only way to really get your injectors cleaned properly if they do get clogged is to have a mechanic clean them individually, which is incredibly expensive.Oct 21 14:51
DaemonFCIt's better to just make sure your fuel filter is clean.Oct 21 14:51
AdrianGor even better, drive an electric car.Oct 21 14:52
DaemonFCWalmart has a $29.99 fuel system cleaning service. Someone asked me about that. I said "For $29.99, it's probably just some guy dumping crap into your gas tank."Oct 21 14:52
AdrianGfewer fluids to worry about.Oct 21 14:52
DaemonFCYeah, but the replacement batteries are very expensive.Oct 21 14:52
DaemonFCYou have to replace them about every 5 years, and they cost about $3,000-$4,000.Oct 21 14:53
DaemonFCand if you plug them in in Indiana, you're charging your car on electricity from coal fired power plants.Oct 21 14:53
AdrianGstill betterOct 21 14:53
AdrianGalso, are you sure they'll only last 5 yrsOct 21 14:53
DaemonFCYeah, except that you have to have somewhere to plug in at.Oct 21 14:53
DaemonFCGas stations don't let you do that.Oct 21 14:53
DaemonFCWhen GM had the EV-1, they set up charging stations all over southern California.Oct 21 14:54
DaemonFCThen they ordered all the EV-1's to be crushed and shut down all charging stations.Oct 21 14:54

DaemonFCSomeone asked if it's OK to use Walmart's Super Tech motor oil.Oct 21 15:04
DaemonFCSure it is.Oct 21 15:04
DaemonFCI used to use it all the time.Oct 21 15:04
DaemonFClike 7-8 years ago it was 88 cents per quartOct 21 15:05
DaemonFCit's just recycled oil with a fresh detergent package in itOct 21 15:05
DaemonFCThere's no point using it now though. It's like $2 per quart, and Valvoline is $2.40. :)Oct 21 15:05
DaemonFCIt used to be that if you used recycled oil, you got it really cheap because some people didn't want to use it.Oct 21 15:07
DaemonFCNow because of that "save the Earth" crap, they just call it "Earth Friendly" motor oil, charge the same price, and keep the difference in their own pockets.Oct 21 15:07
DaemonFCNow I just use what goes on sale or has good rebates.Oct 21 15:09
DaemonFCSo I switch from Valvoline to Quaker State to Castrol. Oct 21 15:10
DaemonFCIf you get them in the five quart bottles on a good sale at the auto part stores, they're like $1.60-$1.80 per quart.Oct 21 15:10
AdrianGhow often is motor oil recycledOct 21 15:14
DaemonFCWell, it's just a filtering process.Oct 21 15:17
DaemonFCThey filter it really good and then add a new detergent package.Oct 21 15:18
DaemonFCIt should be just as good as new.Oct 21 15:18
DaemonFCI don't know how often it's recycled actually.Oct 21 15:18
DaemonFCThey don't have to label it that way.Oct 21 15:18
DaemonFCThe bottles that say it's a certain percentage recycled are greenwashing their product.Oct 21 15:19
DaemonFCBut it's likely that most brands have a certain percentage, because it gets costs down.Oct 21 15:19

iophkChina has the language problem that is a barrier for them going fully globalOct 22 08:23
schestowitz_bed2China is expected to be a bigger economy than the US in 2015 or 2016, the World Bank says. It's not something which the US can do anything about. It can't even start a war; it would be counter-productive and it would only help grease up one large sector of the economy: army, spying, rebuilding, selling loans ('aid') to the survivers while the whole world gets even more pissed off at the US, not just "Bush"/"those damn Republicans".Oct 22 08:25

brendynschestowitz_bed2: Preeeetty sure this is a silly mistake. I think the direct heat from burning fuels is not going to do anything to the heat of the planet?Oct 23 10:29
brendynschestowitz_bed2: It's the fumes that effect the atmosphere and ocean that do it, since they really effect the rate of earth radiating heat. earths temperature is basically an equilibrium between input from the sun and nuclear decay in the earth, and radiating heat being lost, and that this is working on orders of magnitudes of energy much higher than direct heat from burning the fuel?Oct 23 10:34

It's true that you can't rely on users to pick out things that are really random and that pass phrase guessing has been a good way to break cryptography, but that and other flaws of human nature should be worked around. Microsoft has always blamed users for their own design flaws, which we now know is a double Oct 23 16:02

schestowitz_bed2That's really cool but why is the Linux Foundation emphasizing the low cost nature of free software and causing it "frustrating"? It should be apparent that no matter how he got into free software, free software is doing things that can't be done with other software.Oct 24 02:48
schestowitz_bed2Even if it was true 15 years ago that low cost study was the only thing you could do with free software that you could not do with non free software, the end result of that is an abundance of excellent tools for science. That's what the Linux Foundation should be asking about and emphasizing.Oct 24 02:48
schestowitz_bed2The abundance of tools and versatility of free software for science was apparent 10 years ago when I was starting my thesis work. Everything from system level tools, like remote access, to specific analysis tools and publication tools were simply better. What was cooler was how easy it was to make my own tools chain everything together. If I could get expensive replacement tools on another system, I would have been stuck with Oct 24 02:48

MinceRand the architecture was a massive successOct 24 15:32
MinceRin case you forgotOct 24 15:32
AdrianGarchitecture is not a product.Oct 24 15:32
AdrianGyou dont buy an architecture.Oct 24 15:32
AdrianGyou buy a pc.Oct 24 15:32
MinceRwhich is an architectureOct 24 15:32
MinceRoh snapOct 24 15:32
AdrianGno, pc is a product.Oct 24 15:32
MinceRalso, it didn't tankOct 24 15:32
AdrianGits not an architecture, and nobody gives two shits about the arch anywayOct 24 15:32
AdrianGlook at the androidOct 24 15:32
MinceRthey kept going for a long timeOct 24 15:32
AdrianGits not even x86.Oct 24 15:32
MinceRso?Oct 24 15:33
AdrianGdoing so horribly bad.Oct 24 15:33
AdrianGarch is irrelevant.Oct 24 15:33
MinceRnot when you're building hardware.Oct 24 15:33
AdrianGwhats important, is the end product, and how well it responds to consumers demandsOct 24 15:33
AdrianGif the arch is not supporting that - the product will fail.Oct 24 15:33
AdrianGand so would ibm pc, if not for billy gatesOct 24 15:33
MinceRalso, android, and linux in it, is beating ios (not the cisco one)Oct 24 15:33
MinceRno, it was not up to gatesOct 24 15:33
MinceRwe did not need gates for cp/mOct 24 15:34
MinceRwe did not need gates for unix eitherOct 24 15:34
AdrianGonly nobody gives a fuck for cp/m ond esktopOct 24 15:34
MinceRand he obviously didn't design the pcOct 24 15:34
AdrianGor unix on desktop either, unless its osxOct 24 15:34
MinceRexcept everybody cared when it was called "dos"Oct 24 15:34
AdrianGibm pc was a success because of ms officeOct 24 15:34
MinceRcitation needed.Oct 24 15:34
AdrianGwhich would run just fine on any other archOct 24 15:34
MinceRno it could notOct 24 15:34
AdrianGofc it couldntOct 24 15:35
AdrianGthats why it ran on macs this whole time.Oct 24 15:35
MinceRmost of m$'s crap is heavily tied to one architectureOct 24 15:35
MinceR"macs" are just pcs.Oct 24 15:35
AdrianGor recently ported to armOct 24 15:35
AdrianGMinceR: wat?Oct 24 15:35
MinceRisn't "ms office" on arm just a web application?Oct 24 15:35
AdrianGapple moved to x86 only recentlyOct 24 15:35
MinceRnot so recentlyOct 24 15:35
AdrianGoffice 365 is a new bs from msftOct 24 15:35
AdrianGthey had a binary app for macs for the longest timeOct 24 15:35
AdrianGif not foreverOct 24 15:36
MinceRthey ported it to macosOct 24 15:36
MinceRthat did not make it architecture-independentOct 24 15:36
AdrianG Microsoft Word 97 and Excel 97 however did ship for the DEC Alpha platform. Oct 24 15:36
AdrianGdec alpha, mac osOct 24 15:36
AdrianGosxOct 24 15:36
AdrianGetcOct 24 15:36
AdrianGcouldnt run on a different arch. ofc.Oct 24 15:36
AdrianGarch is irrelevant.Oct 24 15:36
MinceRno it isn'tOct 24 15:37
AdrianGoh yeahOct 24 15:37
AdrianGx86 is also a shit arch.Oct 24 15:37
MinceRwhen an add-on card needs to work with a computer, architecture is very relevantOct 24 15:37
AdrianGand we still use it.Oct 24 15:37
MinceRof course it isOct 24 15:37
AdrianGbecause of pc/windows/officeOct 24 15:37
AdrianGnot because x86 is so greatOct 24 15:37
AdrianGits a shitty arch.Oct 24 15:37
MinceRbut at the same time, it was (afaik) the first architecture that was so open and flexibleOct 24 15:37
AdrianGits just that intel has an enormous technology leadOct 24 15:37
MinceRat least in a price range that was widely availableOct 24 15:37
MinceRaccessibleOct 24 15:37
AdrianGand wintel monopoly has no real competitionOct 24 15:37
MinceRothers could make "clones" of itOct 24 15:38
AdrianG(on desktop)Oct 24 15:38
AdrianGMinceR: so wat?Oct 24 15:38
AdrianGu could clone other archs tooOct 24 15:38
MinceRand be sued to deathOct 24 15:38
AdrianGwtf does it mean, clone an arch?Oct 24 15:38
AdrianGput an intel cpu on another mobo?Oct 24 15:38
MinceRwhat made pc-s successfulOct 24 15:38
AdrianGmsft made them successfulOct 24 15:38
AdrianGnot x86Oct 24 15:38
MinceRothers were allowed to manufacture and sell their ownOct 24 15:38
AdrianGif anything x86 was a bad garbage they had to deal withOct 24 15:39
MinceRand msft wasn't?Oct 24 15:39
AdrianGhopefully it dies soonOct 24 15:39
AdrianGhave u actually coded asm?Oct 24 15:39
MinceRand msft wasn't?Oct 24 15:39
MinceRi haveOct 24 15:39
AdrianGfor x86 vs say solaris riscOct 24 15:39
MinceRx86 real modeOct 24 15:39
AdrianGits shit.Oct 24 15:39
AdrianGthe only reason we use it is because its widespread, like qwertyOct 24 15:39
AdrianGand because of wintelOct 24 15:39
MinceRrisc isn't meant to hand-code asm for, thoughOct 24 15:39
MinceRand an architecture is a lot more than just an ISAOct 24 15:40
AdrianGnothing is meant to hand-code asm anymoreOct 24 15:40
MinceR(instruction set architecture)Oct 24 15:40
AdrianGits pointless to even try these days with multicoresOct 24 15:40
MinceRCISC was originally designed for itOct 24 15:40
AdrianGbut the fact that instruction set in x86 is crapOct 24 15:40
MinceRand modern x86 has CISC over RISCOct 24 15:40
AdrianGthe isa, arch, and even OS itselfOct 24 15:41
AdrianGis becoming slowly less and less relevantOct 24 15:41
MinceRyes, it isOct 24 15:41
MinceRbut i think computing would be vastly inferior if it weren't for the pc clonesOct 24 15:41
AdrianGnah, we'd just use some other standardOct 24 15:41
MinceRwell, i guess the same thing would have happened eventually anywayOct 24 15:42
AdrianGits the standard that got as so far anywayOct 24 15:42
MinceRthat's the answer for most of these thingsOct 24 15:42
AdrianGwhich is the problem with open source, nobody can agree on shitOct 24 15:42
MinceRnobody really needs toOct 24 15:42
AdrianGthats why in the end you always end up with some private corpOct 24 15:42
AdrianGrunning shitOct 24 15:42
AdrianGlike apple, ibm, googleOct 24 15:42
MinceRwe can all get along, we can fork if we need toOct 24 15:42
AdrianGthey just force a standard on everyoneOct 24 15:42
MinceRnot alwaysOct 24 15:42
AdrianGand tho unpleasant, it is actually helpfulOct 24 15:43
MinceRsome of these standards spread against the intention of those companiesOct 24 15:43
AdrianGlike you really think apple did fuck all?Oct 24 15:43
AdrianGthe reason we have this whole smartphone nonsense all over is because of appleOct 24 15:43
MinceRthey stole a lot of ideasOct 24 15:43
MinceRnopeOct 24 15:43
AdrianGnow they are falling behindOct 24 15:43
AdrianGbut they broke thru it firstOct 24 15:43
MinceRsmartphones existed before themOct 24 15:43
AdrianGyeah they existedOct 24 15:43
MinceRsmartphones that looked like the hypePhone existed before the hypePhoneOct 24 15:43
AdrianGonly they didnt do shitOct 24 15:43
AdrianGthere was no ecosphereOct 24 15:43
MinceRonly they did what hypePhones still can't doOct 24 15:43
AdrianGapple came around, and created an ecosphereOct 24 15:43
AdrianGnah its not about the actual deviceOct 24 15:44
MinceRthey already had open architectures, sideloaded applications, shared filesystemsOct 24 15:44
AdrianGits about a whole ecosphereOct 24 15:44
AdrianGthat u can just sit down and start usingOct 24 15:44
MinceRsure, it's about fraudulent claims of jobs having invented everything including sliced bread, the wheel and the kitchen sinkOct 24 15:44
AdrianGlike do you think a doctor wants to go get an engineering degreeOct 24 15:44
AdrianGjust so that he can use phones properly?Oct 24 15:44
AdrianGhe's a doctor.Oct 24 15:44
MinceRi had a smartphone before the hypePhone even existedOct 24 15:44
MinceRi could just sit down and use itOct 24 15:44
MinceRit had a lot of applications availableOct 24 15:45
AdrianGoh pls.Oct 24 15:45
AdrianGthere used to be barely any srs appsOct 24 15:45
MinceRoh, and it could multitaskOct 24 15:45
MinceR"srs apps", like flashlight apps and fart sound apps?Oct 24 15:45
MinceRor additional interfaces to your favorite social networking site?Oct 24 15:45
AdrianGi have an android phoneOct 24 15:45
AdrianGand there is a shit ton of apps that arent for androidOct 24 15:45
AdrianGand only available on iosOct 24 15:45
AdrianGlike legit producitivty tools. and good apps too.Oct 24 15:45
AdrianGyou know why?Oct 24 15:46
MinceRwow, there's a shit ton of apps for all sorts of OS-esOct 24 15:46
AdrianGbecause ios devs make money.Oct 24 15:46
AdrianGandroid devs dontOct 24 15:46
MinceRthere are lots of apps that aren't for hypeOSOct 24 15:46
AdrianGyesOct 24 15:46
AdrianGdid u see how much ios apps make vs android apps?Oct 24 15:46
MinceRalso, software engineering isn't only about making moneyOct 24 15:46
MinceRi know gates could never understand thisOct 24 15:46
MinceRbut you couldOct 24 15:46
MinceRi hopeOct 24 15:46
AdrianGMinceR: how do i pay for my mortgage and my kids college w/o moneyOct 24 15:47
MinceR(remember gates' letter to hobbyists?)Oct 24 15:47
AdrianGi work for money.Oct 24 15:47
AdrianGdont care, ios, risc, web apps, mainframeOct 24 15:47
MinceRi develop software both for money and for other reasonsOct 24 15:47
AdrianGwhatever pays best.Oct 24 15:47
AdrianGi might even give up dev work entirely and go do net.sec.Oct 24 15:47
AdrianGits ridic overpaid.Oct 24 15:47
MinceRand apparently no skills are needed eitherOct 24 15:48
AdrianGin net.sec?Oct 24 15:48
MinceRyesOct 24 15:48
AdrianGany dev who knows what they are doing can go do net sec.Oct 24 15:48
AdrianGits just a specialized domain.Oct 24 15:48
AdrianGnot one network security guy i know can codeOct 24 15:48
AdrianGthey cant even write basic scripts to call some soap apiOct 24 15:49
MinceRpeople don't get fired for running microsoft everything, standardizing on ie6 and pretending that a vpn and some crappy AV will make it all omg-secureOct 24 15:49
AdrianGlolOct 24 15:49
AdrianGits a lot more complicated.Oct 24 15:49
MinceRi'm sure it isOct 24 15:49
MinceRespecially when the crap they evangelize so much fucks up (yet again)Oct 24 15:50
AdrianGthats just desktop security u've mentionedOct 24 15:50
AdrianGnet.sec is entirely different.Oct 24 15:50

MinceRIIS, AD, ISA ServerOct 24 15:50
MinceRMS SQLOct 24 15:50
AdrianGagain, thats not net.secOct 24 15:50

DaemonFCA reader of the Huntington County Tab wrote in with the concern that children might use school-issued iPads to access immoral content.Oct 24 16:32
DaemonFCI agree.Oct 24 16:32
DaemonFCThe iPad runs proprietary software and facilitates the "purchase" of books, movies, music, and video games that are encumbered with digital handcuffs, which cannot be shared or backed up, and can be remotely disabled or deleted using Apple's universal backdoor. This is immoral.Oct 24 16:32

DaemonFCMicrosoft and Apple users are currently amused that they can upgrade to the latest version gratis (free of monetary charge).Oct 24 16:48
DaemonFCI don't know why they're amused by this. Free (as in Freedom) software is usually gratis as well. I haven't ever had to pay to use the latest version of any of my software. (Although I have donated to the FSF, KDE, and EFF several times.)Oct 24 16:48
DaemonFCRyan FarmerOct 24 16:49
DaemonFCabout a minute ago Oct 24 16:49
DaemonFCI'd argue that proprietary user-hostile software like Microsoft and Apple develop is currently going through the "Firefox effect". The availability of better software at a price point of $0 is threatening to ruin their ability to charge users directly.Oct 24 16:49
DaemonFCBut Microsoft and Apple are not charities. When they give away product for free, it's like the tobacco companies that used to cruise around neighborhoods passing out free cigarettes to children. They know that there are other ways to skin the cat. By getting you addicted now, they can profit off of you in some way later, either by charging for features a la carte, or by resuming the up front cost later whenever they think they can get away Oct 24 16:49
DaemonFCwith it again.Oct 24 16:49
DaemonFCUpgrades have never been a major revenue stream for Microsoft or Apple. The copy of Windows that comes bundled with a computer raises the cost of the computer by $50-150. Apple charges like two or three times as much as any other PC maker, and they get away with it because they use OS X as leverage.Oct 24 16:49

DaemonFCIf people watched Michael Moore's documentaries, they'd know all about the corrupt contracts that the US entered into.Oct 24 18:17
DaemonFCSome of it is especially egregious. The government didn't pay private military contractors to change the oil in their trucks, so the PMC's just ran the trucks on the same motor oil until they broke down, and then Bush's government bought them brand new trucks.Oct 24 18:17
DaemonFCBut that's hardly the worst thing that Bush did.Oct 24 18:17

MinceRdeath is an even better solution to obesity :>Oct 25 06:43
DaemonFCwell, people deserve what they do to themselvesOct 25 06:44
DaemonFCyou've got a product that's not exactly health food, and it's not a state secretOct 25 06:44
DaemonFCI mean, there has to be personal responsibility somewhere in this process.Oct 25 06:44
DaemonFCor so you'd thinkOct 25 06:45
DaemonFCthe AMA is calling obesity a disease nowOct 25 06:45
DaemonFCobese people are a diseaseOct 25 06:45
DaemonFCso many people have gotten so fat that everyone is now *afraid* to tell them that it was their own damned faultOct 25 06:45
DaemonFCit's not politically correctOct 25 06:45
oiaohmDaemonFC: its not all the person fault.Oct 25 06:48
oiaohmDaemonFC: human body puts on more fat with exposure to toxins as well.Oct 25 06:49
DaemonFCI go and get one of those chocolate xtreme blizzards at Dairy Queen sometimes.Oct 25 06:50
DaemonFCThey have like 1300 calories in themOct 25 06:50
DaemonFCbut for a few days after that I make some cuts and then I'm balancing that out.Oct 25 06:50
oiaohmDaemonFC: some of the over wieght is poor food quality controls.Oct 25 06:50
DaemonFCOf course, if I just added one of those to everything else I was eating that day, I'd be in trouble.Oct 25 06:51
DaemonFConce every few weeks, I hop up on the bathroom scale, and then at that point it's pretty obvious what I have to do for the next week if the number is a few pounds too high.Oct 25 06:53
DaemonFCthey have these federally funded weight loss programsOct 25 06:56
DaemonFCI say get them a bathroom scale, a pencil, and a piece of paper, and let them figure it out.Oct 25 06:56

schestowitz_bed2"Newcomers to open source are often astonished to find great, complete, actively maintained software available free of charge. Some assume this is because of the selfless philanthropy of others "giving their work away free." Some even assume this is naivete on the part of the developers; indeed, one business leader has concluded that the best way to deal with the threat of open source to his business is to be parasitic: "If an Oct 25 14:40
