schestowitz__"Dec 08 07:31
schestowitz__The coverage of this intrusion is remarkably different from the usual news of "hacking". When someone is on trial for breaking into a corporate site, we hear complaints of how much it will cost to undo the damage done. The complaint is justified because systems really should be rebuilt when they are violated and cant' be trusted. In the case of Jeremy Hammond, the judge explicitly rejected Hammond's reasoning Dec 08 07:31
schestowitz__that he broke in to expose a criminal. Here, when the FBI does the same thing indiscriminately to anyone who visits a web page we are told that it's all about fighting crime and that it must be done more now than ever. That's what happens when you make a story "fair" by balancing what you think with what the FBI tells you.Dec 08 07:31
schestowitz__Even more remarkable is the unspoken degree of trust we are supposed to have of our computers as they are. What I read does not even consider the fact that non free software always gives software owners the power to spy. Corporate media won't tell you this because it's mostly owned and funded by people who own your software. Shame on the Washington Post.Dec 08 07:31

schestowitz__The American Library Association (ALA), a group not known as a lobbying powerhouse in Washington, received a $1 million grant last month from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to advocate more on behalf of its members.Dec 08 15:14
schestowitz__Watch for them to pay lip service to Microsoft, which is one of the worst things anyone can do for privacy. Whatever is true of NSA spying about libraries is also true about Microsoft Windows because Microsoft cooperates fully with the NSA. Even if they did not, Windows is non free software and always has the power to spy. As it is, the software comes with an EULA that grants Microsoft dubious legal rights to Dec 08 15:14
schestowitz__spy on users and sell the results to partners. The connections and intentions could not be more clear at this point. No human rights advocate should use non free software.Dec 08 15:15
schestowitz__The ALA should have rejected the money. If nothing else, this gift creates an illusion of Microsoft as a privacy and rights advocate. That's evil enough. We would hope librarians are well read enough to know this and would make the terms of the agreement clear.Dec 08 15:15
schestowitz__Ick, Gates has been trickling millions of dollars to the ALA for every few years for a long time. In the first page of results, I see that Gates has also written the rules and benchmark of technology effectiveness for public libraries, a disturbingly named "Edge" program for anyone who remembers Microsoft anti-Linux program called EDGI. It's funny that for all that, the ALA uses a Google search appliance.Dec 08 15:15
schestowitz__Gates has used his foundation to strategically dump Microsoft Windows onto libraries for more than a decade.. Unlike most real charities, there was no grant process for determining need, the foundation decided who would get gifts of non free software and computers. Like other NSA programs, the gifts came with a gag order and other strings. Libraries were forced to sign a NDA about the exact terms and were not Dec 08 15:15

schestowitz__There are other reasons to reject Microsoft money and technology. As a supporter of exploitative publishing and digital restrictions, Microsoft's guidance probably spells doom for more fair publication like this. You can't have free libraries with digital restrictions.Dec 08 15:50
schestowitz__As an ALEC member, Microsoft takes with the left hand what the right hand gives. ALEC works hard to strip state budgets of useful social services. I have not seen them take a stand against libraries like this idiot from Louisiana did but ALEC is a big supporter of privatized prisons that funnel public money to private hands at the expense of everything else.Dec 08 15:50

DaemonFCI picked up some kind of free Lassus discount card that said 7 cents per gallon discount on gas. Then I noticed that you have to go online and give them your bank account routing number.Dec 09 04:47
DaemonFCMy cash back credit card gives me 1.5% on everything. Gas is $3.35 a gallon right now. That's 5 cents per gallon back, and I don't have to give them my bank account number.Dec 09 04:47

DaemonFC1. I get another 40 cent off, per tank of gas (2 cents per gallon * 20 gallon tank)... Woohoo.Dec 09 04:47
DaemonFC2. If the card falls out of my wallet, anyone can gas up their car, and it comes out of my checking account, and I have no fraud protection like my credit card gives me.Dec 09 04:47
DaemonFC3. If their server is cracked, then the thieves get my bank account routing number and can take as much money out of my bank account as they like, and....no fraud protection.Dec 09 04:47

DaemonFCIt's kind of disturbing how many of these backwards Windows 8 machines are out there now. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a backlash. The average person is just going to put up with it, but reports are PC sales have significantly dropped.Dec 09 05:15
DaemonFCIt is hilarious how Microsoft keeps pointing their finger and blaming tablets as the single cause of low PC sales. Everyone knows the real reason PC sales are dropping are:Dec 09 05:15
DaemonFC1: Nobody wants Windows 8Dec 09 05:15
DaemonFC2: Old desktop computers are good enoughDec 09 05:15
DaemonFC3: You can, indeed, look at pictures of cats on a tablet or "phone" without Windows.Dec 09 05:15
DaemonFCBut people have forgotten why personal computing came about in the first place. Go back and look at the software that made companies buy IBM PCs in the first place. These were spread sheets, word processors, databases, financial programs and such. Those needs may seem mundane today but they are not magically going away, and they are just as critical to businesses as they were then. And those are not the sort of things you can easily do on a Dec 09 05:15
DaemonFCtoy phone or tablet.Dec 09 05:15
DaemonFCIf all you do is look at pictures of cats and clips of Family Guy, then by all means get a tablet. I don't care. But don't try and shove your dumbed down user interfaces on desktops where they don't belong.Dec 09 05:15
DaemonFCThe really crazy thing is how each time a Windows 8 story comes up, comments are usually filled with obvious Microsoft shill posts saying things along the lines of "Windows 8 works great for me! It is so much better! And there is something wrong with you if you can't get used to it and like it". And never a single drop of detail backing up what they claim to be "better".Dec 09 05:15
DaemonFCAnd Microsoft shills are already flapping their heads about "Windows 8.1", trying to make it sound like a complete 180. All Microsoft has done is touch up a couple of things that shouldn't have been messed up in the first place. "They listened" my ass. Brought back the Start button? What a joke.

DaemonFCThe facts are in about the poverty rate, proposals to increase the minimum wage to $11 an hour, and switching Social Security Cost of Living Allowances using the Chained CPI for the Elderly (by raising the amount of Social Security tax that the wealthy pay).Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCThe poverty rate (under the federal poverty gudelines) in Huntington, Indiana is over 18%. If you count people who are near the poverty line, the figure balloons to over 30%.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCRaising the minimum wage to $11 an hour and using CPI-E for Social Security would reduce the poverty rate in Huntington, Indiana to something like 5-6%, and the near-poverty rate to something like 10-11%.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCNationally, these initiatives alone would also create over 250,000 new jobs over the next year after being enacted.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCThese proposals are being suppressed by the wealthy, who do not want to pay their workers, or pay a little more in taxes, and right-wing economists, who falsely claim that they would create price inflation.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCWhat *is* creating price inflation, right now, and pushing millions of Americans into poverty or near-poverty is the right-wing policies of bailing out the banksters by expanding the monetary base, and asset price manipulation and speculation by the criminal "investor class" on Wall Street.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCStates with higher minimum wages don't necessarily have higher prices. The minimum wage in Washington state is over $9 an hour, and when you go to McDonalds or Walmart, the prices are about the same as they are in any other state.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCWhat you do get when you raise the minimum wage are fewer people who need food stamps, medicaid, and rent subsidies, which are effectively corporate socialism.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCIn other words. "Hey, Walmart! Hey, McDonalds! It's cool that you don't want to pay your workers anything. We can create programs funded by the taxpayers to prop up your low wage structure and make your pay scale work.".Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCThis is the government manipulation and distortion of the market that right-wingers are always complaining about, but they exist to enable treacherous megacorporations to continue paying their workers nothing.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCAsking companies to pay their workers, rather than to take from the pockets of people who might not even do business there, seems like a really modest proposal to me.Dec 09 21:48

DaemonFCWhen I worked at Walmart, we had these things called "CBLs". It was basically a system where you sat down at a computer, which would "train" you to do your jobs.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCWalmart makes no bones about their position. The CBLs state that Walmart does not exist to create jobs or guarantee any standard of living for their employees; they exist to create more money for their managers and shareholders.Dec 09 21:48
DaemonFCThat one is in the "Labor Relations" CBL that teaches employees to despise the unions that *could* use collective bargaining to improve the lives of their workers. It's also in the "management Labor Relations" module, that tells managers how to go about firing any employees that want a better standard of living, and are openly discussing unionization.Dec 09 21:48

MS keeps shifting back to a game of "no comment" every time a new bit of their complicity comes out (e.g. the recent revelations about the X-Box live network) and they've basically taken an angle of "if you close your eyes they can't see you" as it pertains to Win8 and Server 2012 basically being made huge trojans worked out Dec 10 16:42
schestowitz__with IBM, Cisco, Intel, and else.....that is to say, they've made just shy of no public comment on the matter.Dec 10 16:42
schestowitz__Google's Eric has shifted to some odd acts of pretending like Google is looking to be i2p or something while simultaneously doing absolutely nothing like the i2p project.Dec 10 16:42
schestowitz__And we have similar with Facebook. Notably with Facebook, it was funny to see comments made by Zuckerberg recently that led to a bunch of comments from his own users (for the most part) calling "Bull".Dec 10 16:42

schestowitz__The Enterprise market is running from all three facets (and A LOT MORE) in droves. Simply put, the Enterprise market isn't fooled by the statements and the companies are all more than aware of that. The statements are meant for fooling the consumer market public. I question if there moves here are effective.....or if they simply anger the public. (again, take a look at comments to Zuckerberg from Facebook users)Dec 10 16:43

sebsebsebiophk: MinceR and Linux opensource/freesoftware is  very opinanted and polotical, and well  look what happens as a result,  what I Was on about earlier Dec 10 21:14
MinceRblame m$ and their kind for thatDec 10 21:14
iophkThe criteria defining Free software are clearly enummerated.Dec 10 21:15

iophkusuall "or not"Dec 10 21:15
sebsebsebMinceR: no  for the specic thing I was onabout earlier,  I gues blame upstream for that one uhDec 10 21:15
sebsebsebMinceR: that most distro's are so simiar,becuase of upstreamDec 10 21:15
sebsebsebusually that's a good thingDec 10 21:15
sebsebseb,but  then  well  what I put ealrierDec 10 21:15
MinceRthey're the ones who decided that there should be no competition in IT but totalitarian control in their handsDec 10 21:15

MinceRall computer users do, who are aware of such choicesDec 10 21:16
iophkDistro is not a big deal as long as it follows the ideas behind Free software.Dec 10 21:16
sebsebsebiophk: in general not that big a deal, b ut for that event it is Dec 10 21:16

sebsebsebthey reolise that they get a better expereince  using the phone for their basic tasks, than their  WIndows computer,  but most don't really kow why that isDec 10 21:21
iophkThe same can happen with Android.Dec 10 21:21
iophkEspecially now with the potential 'end' of XPDec 10 21:21

sebsebsebI think I know what MinceR would thinkDec 10 21:22
sebsebsebgoing by his thumb comment from earlierDec 10 21:22
MinceRsuse can be an intermediate step towards better distros, but it's unnecessaryDec 10 21:23
iophkbest to go straight to the other distros, skip the M$ stepDec 10 21:23
sebsebsebMinceR: so you say, but yet loads of cmpanies use SUSE stllDec 10 21:23
MinceRjust because someone else is making bad decisions doesn't mean you have to do the sameDec 10 21:23

sebsebsebiophk: MinceR I think another issue could have been qute simpally that Mageia wasn't seen as being "mainstreame" enough by themDec 10 21:27
sebsebsebthey wanted mainstreame distro'sDec 10 21:27
iophkCommunity distros are naturally a bit smaller.Dec 10 21:28
sebsebsebwell yeah trueDec 10 21:28
iophkIt's mainstream enough.Dec 10 21:28
sebsebseb,but the big paleyrs,  Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora, Deban etcDec 10 21:28
MinceRthey wanted mainstream crapDec 10 21:28
MinceRdebian is mainstream and better than what they've come up withDec 10 21:28
sebsebsebMinceR: ,but for a non technical user?Dec 10 21:28
MinceRprobably so's fedoraDec 10 21:28
MinceRnot sure what non-technicality has to do with itDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebwell Fedora got ruled out, since an idea that it would be a bit intermediateDec 10 21:29
MinceRintermediate what?Dec 10 21:29
sebsebsebMinceR: it's an eent aimed at non technicla peopleDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebwho odn't really know about LInuxDec 10 21:29
MinceRall i can bring up against fedora is that yum is less reliable than aptDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebI think Fedora would have been a good choie though, espeically with the remastering idea that came alongDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebpre install the codecs etc into Fedora and yeaDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebFedora 20 soonDec 10 21:30
sebsebsebDebian it would go aisnt their philsophey or whateverDec 10 21:30
sebsebseb,but could have put in the propriary stuff into a remaster of that toDec 10 21:30
sebsebsebagainst their aboveDec 10 21:30
sebsebsebMinceR: iophk oh  yeah this remind me, GNOME 3 got the worst Linux idea of 2013 according to Linux Journal poll uhDec 10 21:31
sebsebsebKDE got best deDec 10 21:31
sebsebseband things like thatDec 10 21:31
sebsebsebGNOME 3 is goo enough :)   and can  cusotmise it, or base on it and suchDec 10 21:31
iophkgnome is hard to customize last I heardDec 10 21:32
MinceRindeedDec 10 21:32
sebsebsebMinceR: indeed to which?Dec 10 21:32
sebsebsebno there are a few distro's based on GNOME 3 pingyOS etcDec 10 21:32
MinceRto being hard to customizeDec 10 21:32
iophkOlder versions I tried were all but impossible to customize.Dec 10 21:32
iophkHaven't bothered to look lately.  Gnome is so over.Dec 10 21:32
sebsebsebiophk: well Mageia and GNOME outDec 10 21:32
MinceRlast time i checked you had to bring out gconf-editor or equivalent to tell the damned thing to not sleep if you close the laptop lidDec 10 21:32
sebsebsebKDE n, but in openSUSE uhDec 10 21:32
MinceRthat's utterly retardedDec 10 21:32
sebsebsebGNOME 3 is better now trust meDec 10 21:33
iophkI'll take your word for it.Dec 10 21:33
sebsebsebMinceR: iophk yay Cinnamon a GNOME 3 fork by the Mint team,  instead of uhmmm something such as  LXFCE or LXDE hmmDec 10 21:33
sebsebsebhmm maybe   XFCE or LXDE would have been better reallly for that one, but I guess won't make much difference with CInnamon Dec 10 21:34
sebsebseband then Unity instead of GNOME ShellDec 10 21:34
iophkboth XFCE and LXDEDec 10 21:34
sebsebsebso  got two things that are whta htey are, becuase of GNOME 3 reallyDec 10 21:34
sebsebseb,but no GNOME 3  itselfDec 10 21:34
sebsebseband yep KDE thereDec 10 21:34
iophkthough LXDE  is moving to Qt or somethingDec 10 21:34
sebsebsebiophk: MinceR  appanratly someone left his LUG, because it was to Ubuntu, and  that  it was just a front for socialism orwhatever he was saying the other nightDec 10 21:35
sebsebsebnot really aboutsoftware freedomDec 10 21:35
sebsebsebiophk: MinceR so to political for him and so he leavsDec 10 21:36
MinceRlolDec 10 21:36
sebsebsebI think that's an issue right htre with Linux and other opensource/freesoftware in generalDec 10 21:36
sebsebsebas I was trying to say earierDec 10 21:37
MinceRyes, people being idiots is an issue in generalDec 10 21:37
sebsebsebit's way to opinated and political at timesDec 10 21:37
sebsebsebMinceR: who are you reffering to?Dec 10 21:37
MinceRthe "herp derp free software is socialism" crowdDec 10 21:37
MinceRstate socialism was all about dictatorical control from the top down on everything, so that's more m$/crApple if anythingDec 10 21:38
sebsebsebMinceR: well he said sociais is the worst sytemDec 10 21:38
iophkM$ is top-down, command-economy, centrally controlled ...Dec 10 21:38
sebsebsebworst out of the threeDec 10 21:38
iophkgtgDec 10 21:39
sebsebsebMinceR: what kind of society would you like to have?Dec 10 21:40
MinceRi would progress toward a less statist, more individualist, more free-market society and see what we can learn from itDec 10 21:41
sebsebsebwhat a help your naighbour societyDec 10 21:41
sebsebseb?Dec 10 21:41
MinceRthat would be a part of itDec 10 21:41
sebsebseband where there isn't really moneyDec 10 21:42
MinceRhuman nature being what it is now, you can't really expect any system to save us from itDec 10 21:42
sebsebseband  peopel don't just work for the system and things like thatDec 10 21:42
MinceRso it would have to be evolvedDec 10 21:42
MinceRi don't think money is evilDec 10 21:42
MinceRit's a useful toolDec 10 21:42
MinceRbut it shouldn't be worshippedDec 10 21:42
sebsebsebI think there's a lot of issues really with the worldDec 10 21:42
sebsebseb,but change takes time etcDec 10 21:43

sebsebseboh okDec 10 21:44

MinceR(and more than time)Dec 10 21:45
DaemonFCFirefox now supports h264 if you have the gstreamer plug in for that.Dec 10 21:46
DaemonFCIt'll also play it using the native codecs on Android, OS X, and Windows.Dec 10 21:46
MinceRi thought that wasn't newDec 10 21:46
DaemonFCIt's new in Firefox 26Dec 10 21:46
MinceRthey're adding support for some downloadable blob from fiasco nowDec 10 21:46
DaemonFCI guess it's easy to say they gave up, but really it's more or less Google's fault.Dec 10 21:46
MinceR(and they're trying to sell it as free software or open source...)Dec 10 21:47
DaemonFCIf Google had converted all videos on Youtube to WebM and yanked h264 from Chrome like they said they would....Dec 10 21:47
MinceRindeedDec 10 21:47
DaemonFCh264 would have already been done fore.Dec 10 21:47
DaemonFC*forDec 10 21:47
MinceRi have no idea what reason google could possibly have for not doing thatDec 10 21:47
DaemonFCIt was probably part of their deal with the MPEG-LA.Dec 10 21:48
DaemonFCThe one where the MPEG-LA let WebM users have a royalty free patent license for any MPEG-LA patents that WebM might infringe.Dec 10 21:48
MinceRpfftDec 10 21:48
MinceRthat deal was capitulation, thenDec 10 21:49
DaemonFCA lot of the terms of that deal are secret, but Google's decision to retain support for h264 in Chrome may have been one of the conditions.Dec 10 21:49
MinceRthe whole point of WebM was to be unencumberedDec 10 21:49
DaemonFCRight. Well, it was designed to try to avoid MPEG-LA's patents, but that doesn't mean it does.Dec 10 21:49
DaemonFCWhen things actually get to court, the definitions of what a patent covers are pretty "flexible".Dec 10 21:50
MinceRjust like in the m$ case, we will probably never find out if it doesDec 10 21:50
MinceRit was probably just some vague threats towards googleDec 10 21:50
DaemonFCI'd imagine that it does violate at least one or more.Dec 10 21:50
DaemonFCIt's hard to consider something so large not violating one of thousands of patents in a pool.Dec 10 21:51
DaemonFC*to not be violatingDec 10 21:51
DaemonFCSo, it probably hits at least one, or a few, no matter how careful they were.Dec 10 21:51
MinceRat least in light of sw patents being incredibly vague and that nobody dares attack them on grounds of validity or prior artDec 10 21:51
MinceR(i don't know why)Dec 10 21:51
DaemonFCBecause there's thousands more.Dec 10 21:52
DaemonFCIt's easier to pay up than try to fight 5,000 patents one by one.Dec 10 21:52
MinceR(perhaps patent lawyers expect their future living to depend on the system remaining as broken as it is now)Dec 10 21:52
MinceRwhat if the patent holder is made to pay for the costs of fighting every patent they lose?Dec 10 21:52
MinceRi guess the legal system doesn't work that wayDec 10 21:52
DaemonFCActually, a bill has been brought up in the House of Representatives that would do loser pays.Dec 10 21:53
DaemonFCI think it was called the Innovate Act or something.Dec 10 21:53
MinceRlet me guess, it lostDec 10 21:54
DaemonFCIt's still being considered.Dec 10 21:54
DaemonFCIf it passes, the Senate has until the beginning of the new Congress in January of 2015 to pass it.Dec 10 21:55
DaemonFCIf they don't, the bill dies and has to be reintroduced and passed in both chambers again.Dec 10 21:55
DaemonFCI don't know why that happens. Only about 5% of the House membership changes, and maybe 5-10% of the Senate.Dec 10 21:56
DaemonFCThey just don't have that much turnover.Dec 10 21:56
DaemonFCThey spent almost all of their time fundraising.Dec 10 21:57
DaemonFCAnyone that challenges them gets drowned out by all the spending that the incumbent can afford to do.Dec 10 21:58
DaemonFCPlus, most House districts are drawn to heavily favor one party.Dec 10 21:58
DaemonFCWhatever party is in control of the state that the district is in.Dec 10 21:58
DaemonFCMy district is so heavily gerrymandered for the Republican that it would take a major scandal and a right-wing Democrat on the same year to get rid of him.Dec 10 21:59
DaemonFCIt sucks.Dec 10 21:59
DaemonFCYou can write to them, but they don't really listen. They're much more interested in what people with money tell them to do than what voters want.Dec 10 22:00
DaemonFCMost legislation they bring up is actually a threat to get more money out of whatever industry wants less regulation.Dec 10 22:00
DaemonFCAnd some industries want more regulation.Dec 10 22:00
DaemonFCThe 2010 law that was supposed to reduce smoking rates did nothing to affect the smoking rate.Dec 10 22:01
DaemonFCIt just banned most types of imported cigarettes and more kinds of advertising.Dec 10 22:01
DaemonFCThe tobacco companies wrote the bill. They wanted no foreign competition, and to not have to pay to advertise to each others customers.Dec 10 22:02
DaemonFCSo they got what they wanted. :)Dec 10 22:02
DaemonFCIt reversed the Supreme Court and handed regulation of the tobacco companies over to the FDA.Dec 10 22:02
DaemonFCSo, the FDA is supposed to protect the public health (I know. Haha!).Dec 10 22:03
DaemonFCAnd now you've got them regulating cigarettes that kill people.Dec 10 22:03
DaemonFCSo the first thing they did was ban every flavor of cigarette with the exception for menthol.Dec 10 22:03
DaemonFCWhat a coincidence. Most flavors other than menthol are imports or from smaller companies.Dec 10 22:04
DaemonFC:)Dec 10 22:04
MinceRgnDec 10 22:15
DaemonFCMenthol is a really nasty ingredient when you mix it with tobacco.Dec 10 22:15

MinceRi thought nicotine and natural MAOIs were nasty enoughDec 10 22:16
DaemonFCThe menthol itself is perfectly safe, but it causes people to inhale more deeply and it makes it easier to breathe when the cigarettes are actually hurting your lung function long-term.Dec 10 22:16

DaemonFCI have an on and off addiction, and I usually smoke menthol cigarettes.Dec 10 22:16
DaemonFCBut I signed a petition to the FDA to ban menthol. They say they're considering it.Dec 10 22:16
DaemonFCIf they did that, it would have a huge effect on the number of people who smoke.Dec 10 22:17

DaemonFCI don't see why it would be worse than what the war on drugs has caused.Dec 10 22:22
DaemonFCMarijuana is much less dangerous than the criminals that the prohibition has enabled to do business.Dec 10 22:22
DaemonFCBut, I could see a stronger demand for the stuff that's already banned than menthol cigarettes.Dec 10 22:22
DaemonFCIt's still legal to import enough clove cigarettes for personal consumption.Dec 10 22:23
DaemonFCI think you can import up to 10 cartons per year for yourself.Dec 10 22:23

DaemonFCWhat gets me is when religious charities, which operate mostly on money from the government, whose total annual expenditures amount to roughly 6% of the federal SNAP funding, say that we need to kill off SNAP and let private charity take on the needs of the many.Dec 11 06:01
DaemonFCIt can't even handle the load that it has now. When the people actually show up, after about two weeks into the month, with nothing left on the SNAP card, they complain that having to handle half the total need is more than they are set up to deal with.Dec 11 06:01
DaemonFCOf course right-wingers are generally fine with religious organizations taking taxpayer money and inefficiently using it to distribute some food. The goal is to make people show up for religious services, starving, so that they may beg for something to eat.Dec 11 06:01

DaemonFCwhat Obamacare did to everyone under 65 when they passed that instead of Medicare For Everyone. The thing that enabled them to do that is that nobody under 65 already had access to a much superior single payer system, so it was easier to rob them.Dec 14 05:01

DaemonFCI'm getting kind of tired of reading these stories, where someone walks into a restaurant or orders a pizza, and then leaves no tip, and then tries to excuse their bad behavior.

DaemonFCThe system of health insurance as a perk for employed people was largely put in place as one of the things that came out of World War 2, when the economy was booming because most of the productive capacity of the rest of the world was ruined, and the United States economy was booming and providing more-or-less full employment. (If people couldn't find a job in that environment, they were probably unemployable.)Dec 14 05:47

schestowitz__The coverage of this intrusion is remarkably different from the usual news of "hacking". When someone is on trial for breaking into a corporate site, we hear complaints of how much it will cost to undo the damage done. The complaint is justified because systems really should be rebuilt when they are violated and cant' be trusted. In the case of Jeremy Hammond, the judge explicitly rejected Hammond's reasoning Dec 08 07:31

Here, when the FBI does the same thing indiscriminately to anyone who visits a web page we are told that it's all about fighting crime and that it must be done more now than ever.

Whatever is true of NSA spying about libraries is also true about Microsoft Windows because Microsoft cooperates fully with the NSA. Even if they did not, Windows is non free software and always has the power to spy. As it is, the software comes with an EULA that grants Microsoft dubious legal rights to Dec 08 15:14

schestowitz__Ick, Gates has been trickling millions of dollars to the ALA for every few years for a long time. In the first page of results, I see that Gates has also written the rules and benchmark of technology effectiveness for public libraries, a disturbingly named "Edge" program for anyone who remembers Microsoft anti-Linux program called EDGI. It's funny that for all that, the ALA uses a Google search appliance.Dec 08 15:14
schestowitz__Gates has used his foundation to strategically dump Microsoft Windows onto libraries for more than a decade.. Unlike most real charities, there was no grant process for determining need, the foundation decided who would get gifts of non free software and computers.

DaemonFCIt's kind of disturbing how many of these backwards Windows 8 machines are out there now. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a backlash. The average person is just going to put up with it, but reports are PC sales have significantly dropped.Dec 09 05:14
DaemonFCIt is hilarious how Microsoft keeps pointing their finger and blaming tablets as the single cause of low PC sales. Everyone knows the real reason PC sales are dropping are:Dec 09 05:14
DaemonFC1: Nobody wants Windows 8Dec 09 05:14

DaemonFCBut people have forgotten why personal computing came about in the first place. Go back and look at the software that made companies buy IBM PCs in the first place.

And those are not the sort of things you can easily do on a Dec 09 05:14
DaemonFCtoy phone or tablet.Dec 09 05:14

DaemonFCThe really crazy thing is how each time a Windows 8 story comes up, comments are usually filled with obvious Microsoft shill posts saying things along the lines of "Windows 8 works great for me! It is so much better! And there is something wrong with you if you can't get used to it and like it". And never a single drop of detail backing up what they claim to be "better".Dec 09 05:14
DaemonFCAnd Microsoft shills are already flapping their heads about "Windows 8.1", trying to make it sound like a complete 180. All Microsoft has done is touch up a couple of things that shouldn't have been messed up in the first place. "They listened" my ass. Brought back the Start button? What a joke.

DaemonFCThe facts are in about the poverty rate, proposals to increase the minimum wage to $11 an hour, and switching Social Security Cost of Living Allowances using the Chained CPI for the Elderly (by raising the amount of Social Security tax that the wealthy pay).Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCThe poverty rate (under the federal poverty gudelines) in Huntington, Indiana is over 18%. If you count people who are near the poverty line, the figure balloons to over 30%.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCRaising the minimum wage to $11 an hour and using CPI-E for Social Security would reduce the poverty rate in Huntington, Indiana to something like 5-6%, and the near-poverty rate to something like 10-11%.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCNationally, these initiatives alone would also create over 250,000 new jobs over the next year after being enacted.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCThese proposals are being suppressed by the wealthy, who do not want to pay their workers, or pay a little more in taxes, and right-wing economists, who falsely claim that they would create price inflation.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCWhat *is* creating price inflation, right now, and pushing millions of Americans into poverty or near-poverty is the right-wing policies of bailing out the banksters by expanding the monetary base, and asset price manipulation and speculation by the criminal "investor class" on Wall Street.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCStates with higher minimum wages don't necessarily have higher prices. The minimum wage in Washington state is over $9 an hour, and when you go to McDonalds or Walmart, the prices are about the same as they are in any other state.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCWhat you do get when you raise the minimum wage are fewer people who need food stamps, medicaid, and rent subsidies, which are effectively corporate socialism.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCIn other words. "Hey, Walmart! Hey, McDonalds! It's cool that you don't want to pay your workers anything. We can create programs funded by the taxpayers to prop up your low wage structure and make your pay scale work.".Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCThis is the government manipulation and distortion of the market that right-wingers are always complaining about, but they exist to enable treacherous megacorporations to continue paying their workers nothing.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCAsking companies to pay their workers, rather than to take from the pockets of people who might not even do business there, seems like a really modest proposal to me.Dec 09 21:47

DaemonFCWhen I worked at Walmart, we had these things called "CBLs". It was basically a system where you sat down at a computer, which would "train" you to do your jobs.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCWalmart makes no bones about their position. The CBLs state that Walmart does not exist to create jobs or guarantee any standard of living for their employees; they exist to create more money for their managers and shareholders.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCThat one is in the "Labor Relations" CBL that teaches employees to despise the unions that *could* use collective bargaining to improve the lives of their workers. It's also in the "management Labor Relations" module, that tells managers how to go about firing any employees that want a better standard of living, and are openly discussing unionization.Dec 09 21:47
DaemonFCCorporations have no conscience. They only consider what will make them more money, and what they can get away with.Dec 09 21:47

MinceRblame m$ and their kind for thatDec 10 21:14
iophkThe criteria defining Free software are clearly enummerated.Dec 10 21:14

iophkusuall "or not"Dec 10 21:14
sebsebsebMinceR: no  for the specic thing I was onabout earlier,  I gues blame upstream for that one uhDec 10 21:14
sebsebsebMinceR: that most distro's are so simiar,becuase of upstreamDec 10 21:14
sebsebsebusually that's a good thingDec 10 21:14
sebsebseb,but  then  well  what I put ealrierDec 10 21:15
MinceRthey're the ones who decided that there should be no competition in IT but totalitarian control in their handsDec 10 21:15

iophkDistro is not a big deal as long as it follows the ideas behind Free software.Dec 10 21:16
sebsebsebiophk: in general not that big a deal, b ut for that event it is Dec 10 21:16

sebsebsebgoing by his thumb comment from earlierDec 10 21:21
MinceRsuse can be an intermediate step towards better distros, but it's unnecessaryDec 10 21:22
iophkbest to go straight to the other distros, skip the M$ stepDec 10 21:22
sebsebsebMinceR: so you say, but yet loads of cmpanies use SUSE stllDec 10 21:22
MinceRjust because someone else is making bad decisions doesn't mean you have to do the sameDec 10 21:23

sebsebsebiophk: MinceR I think another issue could have been qute simpally that Mageia wasn't seen as being "mainstreame" enough by themDec 10 21:27
sebsebsebthey wanted mainstreame distro'sDec 10 21:27
iophkCommunity distros are naturally a bit smaller.Dec 10 21:27
sebsebsebwell yeah trueDec 10 21:27
iophkIt's mainstream enough.Dec 10 21:27
sebsebseb,but the big paleyrs,  Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora, Deban etcDec 10 21:27
MinceRthey wanted mainstream crapDec 10 21:27
MinceRdebian is mainstream and better than what they've come up withDec 10 21:27
sebsebsebMinceR: ,but for a non technical user?Dec 10 21:28
MinceRprobably so's fedoraDec 10 21:28
MinceRnot sure what non-technicality has to do with itDec 10 21:28
sebsebsebwell Fedora got ruled out, since an idea that it would be a bit intermediateDec 10 21:28
MinceRintermediate what?Dec 10 21:28
sebsebsebMinceR: it's an eent aimed at non technicla peopleDec 10 21:28
sebsebsebwho odn't really know about LInuxDec 10 21:28
MinceRall i can bring up against fedora is that yum is less reliable than aptDec 10 21:28
sebsebsebI think Fedora would have been a good choie though, espeically with the remastering idea that came alongDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebpre install the codecs etc into Fedora and yeaDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebFedora 20 soonDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebDebian it would go aisnt their philsophey or whateverDec 10 21:29
sebsebseb,but could have put in the propriary stuff into a remaster of that toDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebagainst their aboveDec 10 21:29
sebsebsebMinceR: iophk oh  yeah this remind me, GNOME 3 got the worst Linux idea of 2013 according to Linux Journal poll uhDec 10 21:30
sebsebsebKDE got best deDec 10 21:30
sebsebseband things like thatDec 10 21:30
sebsebsebGNOME 3 is goo enough :)   and can  cusotmise it, or base on it and suchDec 10 21:31
iophkgnome is hard to customize last I heardDec 10 21:31
MinceRindeedDec 10 21:31
sebsebsebMinceR: indeed to which?Dec 10 21:31
sebsebsebno there are a few distro's based on GNOME 3 pingyOS etcDec 10 21:31
MinceRto being hard to customizeDec 10 21:31
iophkOlder versions I tried were all but impossible to customize.Dec 10 21:31
iophkHaven't bothered to look lately.  Gnome is so over.Dec 10 21:31
sebsebsebiophk: well Mageia and GNOME outDec 10 21:32
MinceRlast time i checked you had to bring out gconf-editor or equivalent to tell the damned thing to not sleep if you close the laptop lidDec 10 21:32
sebsebsebKDE n, but in openSUSE uhDec 10 21:32
MinceRthat's utterly retardedDec 10 21:32
sebsebsebGNOME 3 is better now trust meDec 10 21:32
iophkI'll take your word for it.Dec 10 21:32
sebsebsebMinceR: iophk yay Cinnamon a GNOME 3 fork by the Mint team,  instead of uhmmm something such as  LXFCE or LXDE hmmDec 10 21:32
sebsebsebhmm maybe   XFCE or LXDE would have been better reallly for that one, but I guess won't make much difference with CInnamon Dec 10 21:33
sebsebseband then Unity instead of GNOME ShellDec 10 21:33
iophkboth XFCE and LXDEDec 10 21:34
sebsebsebso  got two things that are whta htey are, becuase of GNOME 3 reallyDec 10 21:34
sebsebseb,but no GNOME 3  itselfDec 10 21:34
sebsebseband yep KDE thereDec 10 21:34
iophkthough LXDE  is moving to Qt or somethingDec 10 21:34
sebsebsebiophk: MinceR  appanratly someone left his LUG, because it was to Ubuntu, and  that  it was just a front for socialism orwhatever he was saying the other nightDec 10 21:35
sebsebsebnot really aboutsoftware freedomDec 10 21:35
sebsebsebiophk: MinceR so to political for him and so he leavsDec 10 21:35
MinceRlolDec 10 21:36
sebsebsebI think that's an issue right htre with Linux and other opensource/freesoftware in generalDec 10 21:36
sebsebsebas I was trying to say earierDec 10 21:36
MinceRyes, people being idiots is an issue in generalDec 10 21:36
sebsebsebit's way to opinated and political at timesDec 10 21:36
sebsebsebMinceR: who are you reffering to?Dec 10 21:36
MinceRthe "herp derp free software is socialism" crowdDec 10 21:37
MinceRstate socialism was all about dictatorical control from the top down on everything, so that's more m$/crApple if anythingDec 10 21:37
sebsebsebMinceR: well he said sociais is the worst sytemDec 10 21:37
iophkM$ is top-down, command-economy, centrally controlled ...Dec 10 21:37
sebsebsebworst out of the threeDec 10 21:37
iophkgtgDec 10 21:38
sebsebsebMinceR: what kind of society would you like to have?Dec 10 21:40
MinceRi would progress toward a less statist, more individualist, more free-market society and see what we can learn from itDec 10 21:40
sebsebsebwhat a help your naighbour societyDec 10 21:40
sebsebseb?Dec 10 21:40
MinceRthat would be a part of itDec 10 21:41
sebsebseband where there isn't really moneyDec 10 21:41
MinceRhuman nature being what it is now, you can't really expect any system to save us from itDec 10 21:41
sebsebseband  peopel don't just work for the system and things like thatDec 10 21:41
MinceRso it would have to be evolvedDec 10 21:41
MinceRi don't think money is evilDec 10 21:41
MinceRit's a useful toolDec 10 21:41
MinceRbut it shouldn't be worshippedDec 10 21:41
sebsebsebI think there's a lot of issues really with the worldDec 10 21:42
sebsebseb,but change takes time etcDec 10 21:42

MinceRnot sure anymoreDec 10 21:44
MinceRprobably regarding the foodDec 10 21:44
sebsebseboh okDec 10 21:44
MinceRbut yes, there are a lot of issues and change takes timeDec 10 21:44
MinceR(and more than time)Dec 10 21:44
DaemonFCFirefox now supports h264 if you have the gstreamer plug in for that.Dec 10 21:45
DaemonFCIt'll also play it using the native codecs on Android, OS X, and Windows.Dec 10 21:45
MinceRi thought that wasn't newDec 10 21:45
DaemonFCIt's new in Firefox 26Dec 10 21:45
MinceRthey're adding support for some downloadable blob from fiasco nowDec 10 21:45
DaemonFCI guess it's easy to say they gave up, but really it's more or less Google's fault.Dec 10 21:46
MinceR(and they're trying to sell it as free software or open source...)Dec 10 21:46
DaemonFCIf Google had converted all videos on Youtube to WebM and yanked h264 from Chrome like they said they would....Dec 10 21:46
MinceRindeedDec 10 21:46
DaemonFCh264 would have already been done fore.Dec 10 21:46
DaemonFC*forDec 10 21:46
MinceRi have no idea what reason google could possibly have for not doing thatDec 10 21:46
DaemonFCIt was probably part of their deal with the MPEG-LA.Dec 10 21:47
DaemonFCThe one where the MPEG-LA let WebM users have a royalty free patent license for any MPEG-LA patents that WebM might infringe.Dec 10 21:48
MinceRpfftDec 10 21:48
MinceRthat deal was capitulation, thenDec 10 21:48
DaemonFCA lot of the terms of that deal are secret, but Google's decision to retain support for h264 in Chrome may have been one of the conditions.Dec 10 21:48
MinceRthe whole point of WebM was to be unencumberedDec 10 21:48
DaemonFCRight. Well, it was designed to try to avoid MPEG-LA's patents, but that doesn't mean it does.Dec 10 21:49
DaemonFCWhen things actually get to court, the definitions of what a patent covers are pretty "flexible".Dec 10 21:49
MinceRjust like in the m$ case, we will probably never find out if it doesDec 10 21:49
MinceRit was probably just some vague threats towards googleDec 10 21:49
DaemonFCI'd imagine that it does violate at least one or more.Dec 10 21:50
DaemonFCIt's hard to consider something so large not violating one of thousands of patents in a pool.Dec 10 21:50
DaemonFC*to not be violatingDec 10 21:50
DaemonFCSo, it probably hits at least one, or a few, no matter how careful they were.Dec 10 21:50
MinceRat least in light of sw patents being incredibly vague and that nobody dares attack them on grounds of validity or prior artDec 10 21:51
MinceR(i don't know why)Dec 10 21:51
DaemonFCBecause there's thousands more.Dec 10 21:51
DaemonFCIt's easier to pay up than try to fight 5,000 patents one by one.Dec 10 21:51
MinceR(perhaps patent lawyers expect their future living to depend on the system remaining as broken as it is now)Dec 10 21:51
MinceRwhat if the patent holder is made to pay for the costs of fighting every patent they lose?Dec 10 21:51
MinceRi guess the legal system doesn't work that wayDec 10 21:52
DaemonFCActually, a bill has been brought up in the House of Representatives that would do loser pays.Dec 10 21:52
DaemonFCI think it was called the Innovate Act or something.Dec 10 21:52
MinceRlet me guess, it lostDec 10 21:53
DaemonFCIt's still being considered.Dec 10 21:54
DaemonFCIf it passes, the Senate has until the beginning of the new Congress in January of 2015 to pass it.Dec 10 21:54
DaemonFCIf they don't, the bill dies and has to be reintroduced and passed in both chambers again.Dec 10 21:55
DaemonFCI don't know why that happens. Only about 5% of the House membership changes, and maybe 5-10% of the Senate.Dec 10 21:55
DaemonFCThey just don't have that much turnover.Dec 10 21:56
DaemonFCThey spent almost all of their time fundraising.Dec 10 21:57
DaemonFCAnyone that challenges them gets drowned out by all the spending that the incumbent can afford to do.Dec 10 21:57
DaemonFCPlus, most House districts are drawn to heavily favor one party.Dec 10 21:57
DaemonFCWhatever party is in control of the state that the district is in.Dec 10 21:57
DaemonFCMy district is so heavily gerrymandered for the Republican that it would take a major scandal and a right-wing Democrat on the same year to get rid of him.Dec 10 21:58
DaemonFCIt sucks.Dec 10 21:58
DaemonFCYou can write to them, but they don't really listen. They're much more interested in what people with money tell them to do than what voters want.Dec 10 21:59
DaemonFCMost legislation they bring up is actually a threat to get more money out of whatever industry wants less regulation.Dec 10 21:59
DaemonFCAnd some industries want more regulation.Dec 10 22:00
DaemonFCThe 2010 law that was supposed to reduce smoking rates did nothing to affect the smoking rate.Dec 10 22:00
DaemonFCIt just banned most types of imported cigarettes and more kinds of advertising.Dec 10 22:00
DaemonFCThe tobacco companies wrote the bill. They wanted no foreign competition, and to not have to pay to advertise to each others customers.Dec 10 22:01
DaemonFCSo they got what they wanted. :)Dec 10 22:01
DaemonFCIt reversed the Supreme Court and handed regulation of the tobacco companies over to the FDA.Dec 10 22:02
DaemonFCSo, the FDA is supposed to protect the public health (I know. Haha!).Dec 10 22:02
DaemonFCAnd now you've got them regulating cigarettes that kill people.Dec 10 22:02
DaemonFCSo the first thing they did was ban every flavor of cigarette with the exception for menthol.Dec 10 22:03
DaemonFCWhat a coincidence. Most flavors other than menthol are imports or from smaller companies.Dec 10 22:03
DaemonFC:)Dec 10 22:03
MinceRgnDec 10 22:14
DaemonFCMenthol is a really nasty ingredient when you mix it with tobacco.Dec 10 22:14
MinceRwhy?Dec 10 22:14

DaemonFCWhat gets me is when religious charities, which operate mostly on money from the government, whose total annual expenditures amount to roughly 6% of the federal SNAP funding, say that we need to kill off SNAP and let private charity take on the needs of the many.Dec 11 06:00
DaemonFCIt can't even handle the load that it has now. When the people actually show up, after about two weeks into the month, with nothing left on the SNAP card, they complain that having to handle half the total need is more than they are set up to deal with.Dec 11 06:00
DaemonFCOf course right-wingers are generally fine with religious organizations taking taxpayer money and inefficiently using it to distribute some food. The goal is to make people show up for religious services, starving, so that they may beg for something to eat.Dec 11 06:00

DaemonFCI'm getting kind of tired of reading these stories, where someone walks into a restaurant or orders a pizza, and then leaves no tip, and then tries to excuse their bad behavior. As if there was any excuse for stealing the labor, and possibly the gas money, of the guy that makes two bucks an hour serving you.Dec 14 05:30

DaemonFCQuantitative Easing by the Fed ensures that there will be no job gains. As long as corporate America knows that the free money will continue as long as they don't hire people, they will continue trying to avoid hiring people.Dec 14 05:35
DaemonFCThe amount of money that the Fed is dumping into their bond-buying program could have created millions of jobs paying $50,000 per year.Dec 14 05:35

DaemonFCThe system of health insurance as a perk for employed people was largely put in place as one of the things that came out of World War 2, when the economy was booming because most of the productive capacity of the rest of the world was ruined, and the United States economy was booming and providing more-or-less full employment. (If people couldn't find a job in that environment, they were probably unemployable.)Dec 14 05:46

DaemonFCIn the past, pricing was pretty much totally determined by the demand curve for a good or service. It still kind of is, but we have so much market distortion caused by monopolies, that it just doesn't always hold true anymore.Dec 14 05:54
DaemonFCIn the information economy, demand curve can't drive up prices, because a lot of the goods are intangible. Apple can copy a music file as many times as it wants, because it's just computer data.

DaemonFCIt's no longer a given that increased buying power will lead to inflation, when something can be produced as many times as you like, while requiring almost no resources dedicated to the productive capacity for the goods.Dec 14 05:54

DaemonFC1. Cost to taxpayers. I haven't seen Wayne LaPierre come out and offer to increase NRA dues so that they can pay for this.Dec 14 10:52
DaemonFC2. The school shootings will keep happening, because it fails to take guns away from irresponsible gun owners, criminals, the insane, and their children. It would take an armed teacher or police officer minutes to respond, and by that time, the shooter would have already killed many people.Dec 14 10:52

schestowitz__The coverage of this intrusion is remarkably different from the usual news of "hacking". When someone is on trial for breaking into a corporate site, we hear complaints of how much it will cost to undo the damage done. The complaint is justified because systems really should be rebuilt when they are violated and cant' be trusted. In the case of Jeremy Hammond, the judge explicitly rejected Hammond's reasoning Dec 08 02:31
schestowitz__that he broke in to expose a criminal. Here, when the FBI does the same thing indiscriminately to anyone who visits a web page we are told that it's all about fighting crime and that it must be done more now than ever. That's what happens when you make a story "fair" by balancing what you think with what the FBI tells you.Dec 08 02:31
schestowitz__Even more remarkable is the unspoken degree of trust we are supposed to have of our computers as they are. What I read does not even consider the fact that non free software always gives software owners the power to spy.

schestowitz__Watch for them to pay lip service to Microsoft, which is one of the worst things anyone can do for privacy. Whatever is true of NSA spying about libraries is also true about Microsoft Windows because Microsoft cooperates fully with the NSA. Even if they did not, Windows is non free software and always has the power to spy. As it is, the software comes with an EULA that grants Microsoft dubious legal rights to Dec 08 10:14

schestowitz__The ALA should have rejected the money. If nothing else, this gift creates an illusion of Microsoft as a privacy and rights advocate. That's evil enough. We would hope librarians are well read enough to know this and would make the terms of the agreement clear.Dec 08 10:14
schestowitz__Ick, Gates has been trickling millions of dollars to the ALA for every few years for a long time. In the first page of results, I see that Gates has also written the rules and benchmark of technology effectiveness for public libraries, a disturbingly named "Edge" program for anyone who remembers Microsoft anti-Linux program called EDGI. It's funny that for all that, the ALA uses a Google search appliance.Dec 08 10:14
schestowitz__Gates has used his foundation to strategically dump Microsoft Windows onto libraries for more than a decade.. Unlike most real charities, there was no grant process for determining need, the foundation decided who would get gifts of non free software and computers.

DaemonFCIt's kind of disturbing how many of these backwards Windows 8 machines are out there now. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a backlash. The average person is just going to put up with it, but reports are PC sales have significantly dropped.Dec 09 00:14
DaemonFCIt is hilarious how Microsoft keeps pointing their finger and blaming tablets as the single cause of low PC sales. Everyone knows the real reason PC sales are dropping are:Dec 09 00:14
DaemonFC1: Nobody wants Windows 8Dec 09 00:14

DaemonFC3: You can, indeed, look at pictures of cats on a tablet or "phone" without Windows.Dec 09 00:14
DaemonFCBut people have forgotten why personal computing came about in the first place. Go back and look at the software that made companies buy IBM PCs in the first place.

And those are not the sort of things you can easily do on a Dec 09 00:14
DaemonFCtoy phone or tablet.Dec 09 00:14
DaemonFCIf all you do is look at pictures of cats and clips of Family Guy, then by all means get a tablet. I don't care. But don't try and shove your dumbed down user interfaces on desktops where they don't belong.Dec 09 00:14
DaemonFCThe really crazy thing is how each time a Windows 8 story comes up, comments are usually filled with obvious Microsoft shill posts saying things along the lines of "Windows 8 works great for me! It is so much better! And there is something wrong with you if you can't get used to it and like it". And never a single drop of detail backing up what they claim to be "better".Dec 09 00:14
DaemonFCAnd Microsoft shills are already flapping their heads about "Windows 8.1", trying to make it sound like a complete 180. All Microsoft has done is touch up a couple of things that shouldn't have been messed up in the first place. "They listened" my ass. Brought back the Start button? What a joke.

DaemonFCThe facts are in about the poverty rate, proposals to increase the minimum wage to $11 an hour, and switching Social Security Cost of Living Allowances using the Chained CPI for the Elderly (by raising the amount of Social Security tax that the wealthy pay).Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCThe poverty rate (under the federal poverty gudelines) in Huntington, Indiana is over 18%. If you count people who are near the poverty line, the figure balloons to over 30%.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCRaising the minimum wage to $11 an hour and using CPI-E for Social Security would reduce the poverty rate in Huntington, Indiana to something like 5-6%, and the near-poverty rate to something like 10-11%.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCNationally, these initiatives alone would also create over 250,000 new jobs over the next year after being enacted.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCThese proposals are being suppressed by the wealthy, who do not want to pay their workers, or pay a little more in taxes, and right-wing economists, who falsely claim that they would create price inflation.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCWhat *is* creating price inflation, right now, and pushing millions of Americans into poverty or near-poverty is the right-wing policies of bailing out the banksters by expanding the monetary base, and asset price manipulation and speculation by the criminal "investor class" on Wall Street.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCStates with higher minimum wages don't necessarily have higher prices. The minimum wage in Washington state is over $9 an hour, and when you go to McDonalds or Walmart, the prices are about the same as they are in any other state.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCWhat you do get when you raise the minimum wage are fewer people who need food stamps, medicaid, and rent subsidies, which are effectively corporate socialism.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCIn other words. "Hey, Walmart! Hey, McDonalds! It's cool that you don't want to pay your workers anything. We can create programs funded by the taxpayers to prop up your low wage structure and make your pay scale work.".Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCThis is the government manipulation and distortion of the market that right-wingers are always complaining about, but they exist to enable treacherous megacorporations to continue paying their workers nothing.Dec 09 16:47

DaemonFCWhen I worked at Walmart, we had these things called "CBLs". It was basically a system where you sat down at a computer, which would "train" you to do your jobs.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCWalmart makes no bones about their position. The CBLs state that Walmart does not exist to create jobs or guarantee any standard of living for their employees; they exist to create more money for their managers and shareholders.Dec 09 16:47
DaemonFCThat one is in the "Labor Relations" CBL that teaches employees to despise the unions that *could* use collective bargaining to improve the lives of their workers. It's also in the "management Labor Relations" module, that tells managers how to go about firing any employees that want a better standard of living, and are openly discussing unionization.Dec 09 16:47

sebsebsebMinceR: no  for the specic thing I was onabout earlier,  I gues blame upstream for that one uhDec 10 16:14

sebsebsebiophk: MinceR I think another issue could have been qute simpally that Mageia wasn't seen as being "mainstreame" enough by themDec 10 16:27
sebsebsebthey wanted mainstreame distro'sDec 10 16:27
iophkCommunity distros are naturally a bit smaller.Dec 10 16:27
sebsebsebwell yeah trueDec 10 16:27
iophkIt's mainstream enough.Dec 10 16:27
sebsebseb,but the big paleyrs,  Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora, Deban etcDec 10 16:27
MinceRthey wanted mainstream crapDec 10 16:27
MinceRdebian is mainstream and better than what they've come up withDec 10 16:27
sebsebsebMinceR: ,but for a non technical user?Dec 10 16:28
MinceRprobably so's fedoraDec 10 16:28
MinceRnot sure what non-technicality has to do with itDec 10 16:28
sebsebsebwell Fedora got ruled out, since an idea that it would be a bit intermediateDec 10 16:28
MinceRintermediate what?Dec 10 16:28
sebsebsebMinceR: it's an eent aimed at non technicla peopleDec 10 16:28
sebsebsebwho odn't really know about LInuxDec 10 16:28
MinceRall i can bring up against fedora is that yum is less reliable than aptDec 10 16:28
sebsebsebI think Fedora would have been a good choie though, espeically with the remastering idea that came alongDec 10 16:29
sebsebsebpre install the codecs etc into Fedora and yeaDec 10 16:29
sebsebsebFedora 20 soonDec 10 16:29

sebsebsebMinceR: iophk oh  yeah this remind me, GNOME 3 got the worst Linux idea of 2013 according to Linux Journal poll uhDec 10 16:30
sebsebsebKDE got best deDec 10 16:30
sebsebseband things like thatDec 10 16:30
sebsebsebGNOME 3 is goo enough :)   and can  cusotmise it, or base on it and suchDec 10 16:31
iophkgnome is hard to customize last I heardDec 10 16:31
MinceRindeedDec 10 16:31
sebsebsebMinceR: indeed to which?Dec 10 16:31
sebsebsebno there are a few distro's based on GNOME 3 pingyOS etcDec 10 16:31
MinceRto being hard to customizeDec 10 16:31
iophkOlder versions I tried were all but impossible to customize.Dec 10 16:31
iophkHaven't bothered to look lately.  Gnome is so over.Dec 10 16:31
sebsebsebiophk: well Mageia and GNOME outDec 10 16:32
MinceRlast time i checked you had to bring out gconf-editor or equivalent to tell the damned thing to not sleep if you close the laptop lidDec 10 16:32
sebsebsebKDE n, but in openSUSE uhDec 10 16:32
MinceRthat's utterly retardedDec 10 16:32
sebsebsebGNOME 3 is better now trust meDec 10 16:32
iophkI'll take your word for it.Dec 10 16:32
sebsebsebMinceR: iophk yay Cinnamon a GNOME 3 fork by the Mint team,  instead of uhmmm something such as  LXFCE or LXDE hmmDec 10 16:32
sebsebsebhmm maybe   XFCE or LXDE would have been better reallly for that one, but I guess won't make much difference with CInnamon Dec 10 16:33
sebsebseband then Unity instead of GNOME ShellDec 10 16:33
iophkboth XFCE and LXDEDec 10 16:34
sebsebsebso  got two things that are whta htey are, becuase of GNOME 3 reallyDec 10 16:34
sebsebseb,but no GNOME 3  itselfDec 10 16:34
sebsebseband yep KDE thereDec 10 16:34
iophkthough LXDE  is moving to Qt or somethingDec 10 16:34
sebsebsebiophk: MinceR  appanratly someone left his LUG, because it was to Ubuntu, and  that  it was just a front for socialism orwhatever he was saying the other nightDec 10 16:34
sebsebsebnot really aboutsoftware freedomDec 10 16:35
sebsebsebiophk: MinceR so to political for him and so he leavsDec 10 16:35
MinceRlolDec 10 16:36
sebsebsebI think that's an issue right htre with Linux and other opensource/freesoftware in generalDec 10 16:36
sebsebsebas I was trying to say earierDec 10 16:36
MinceRyes, people being idiots is an issue in generalDec 10 16:36
sebsebsebit's way to opinated and political at timesDec 10 16:36
sebsebsebMinceR: who are you reffering to?Dec 10 16:36
MinceRthe "herp derp free software is socialism" crowdDec 10 16:37
MinceRstate socialism was all about dictatorical control from the top down on everything, so that's more m$/crApple if anythingDec 10 16:37
sebsebsebMinceR: well he said sociais is the worst sytemDec 10 16:37
iophkM$ is top-down, command-economy, centrally controlled ...Dec 10 16:37
sebsebsebworst out of the threeDec 10 16:37
iophkgtgDec 10 16:38
sebsebsebMinceR: what kind of society would you like to have?Dec 10 16:40
MinceRi would progress toward a less statist, more individualist, more free-market society and see what we can learn from itDec 10 16:40
sebsebsebwhat a help your naighbour societyDec 10 16:40
sebsebseb?Dec 10 16:40
MinceRthat would be a part of itDec 10 16:41
sebsebseband where there isn't really moneyDec 10 16:41
MinceRhuman nature being what it is now, you can't really expect any system to save us from itDec 10 16:41
sebsebseband  peopel don't just work for the system and things like thatDec 10 16:41
MinceRso it would have to be evolvedDec 10 16:41
MinceRi don't think money is evilDec 10 16:41
MinceRit's a useful toolDec 10 16:41
MinceRbut it shouldn't be worshippedDec 10 16:41
sebsebsebI think there's a lot of issues really with the worldDec 10 16:42
sebsebseb,but change takes time etcDec 10 16:42
sebsebsebMinceR: I think there's food down stiars waiting for me though, so yeah bye for nowDec 10 16:42
sebsebsebor back in a bitDec 10 16:42

sebsebsebthat's :)Dec 10 16:43
sebsebsebwas meant to be :)Dec 10 16:43
MinceRnot sure anymoreDec 10 16:44
MinceRprobably regarding the foodDec 10 16:44
sebsebseboh okDec 10 16:44
MinceRbut yes, there are a lot of issues and change takes timeDec 10 16:44
MinceR(and more than time)Dec 10 16:44
DaemonFCFirefox now supports h264 if you have the gstreamer plug in for that.Dec 10 16:45
DaemonFCIt'll also play it using the native codecs on Android, OS X, and Windows.Dec 10 16:45
MinceRi thought that wasn't newDec 10 16:45
DaemonFCIt's new in Firefox 26Dec 10 16:45
MinceRthey're adding support for some downloadable blob from fiasco nowDec 10 16:45
DaemonFCI guess it's easy to say they gave up, but really it's more or less Google's fault.Dec 10 16:46
MinceR(and they're trying to sell it as free software or open source...)Dec 10 16:46
DaemonFCIf Google had converted all videos on Youtube to WebM and yanked h264 from Chrome like they said they would....Dec 10 16:46
MinceRindeedDec 10 16:46
DaemonFCh264 would have already been done fore.Dec 10 16:46
DaemonFC*forDec 10 16:46
MinceRi have no idea what reason google could possibly have for not doing thatDec 10 16:46
DaemonFCIt was probably part of their deal with the MPEG-LA.Dec 10 16:47
DaemonFCThe one where the MPEG-LA let WebM users have a royalty free patent license for any MPEG-LA patents that WebM might infringe.Dec 10 16:48
MinceRpfftDec 10 16:48
MinceRthat deal was capitulation, thenDec 10 16:48
DaemonFCA lot of the terms of that deal are secret, but Google's decision to retain support for h264 in Chrome may have been one of the conditions.Dec 10 16:48
MinceRthe whole point of WebM was to be unencumberedDec 10 16:48
DaemonFCRight. Well, it was designed to try to avoid MPEG-LA's patents, but that doesn't mean it does.Dec 10 16:49
DaemonFCWhen things actually get to court, the definitions of what a patent covers are pretty "flexible".Dec 10 16:49
MinceRjust like in the m$ case, we will probably never find out if it doesDec 10 16:49
MinceRit was probably just some vague threats towards googleDec 10 16:49
DaemonFCI'd imagine that it does violate at least one or more.Dec 10 16:50
DaemonFCIt's hard to consider something so large not violating one of thousands of patents in a pool.Dec 10 16:50
DaemonFC*to not be violatingDec 10 16:50
DaemonFCSo, it probably hits at least one, or a few, no matter how careful they were.Dec 10 16:50
MinceRat least in light of sw patents being incredibly vague and that nobody dares attack them on grounds of validity or prior artDec 10 16:51
MinceR(i don't know why)Dec 10 16:51
DaemonFCBecause there's thousands more.Dec 10 16:51
DaemonFCIt's easier to pay up than try to fight 5,000 patents one by one.Dec 10 16:51
MinceR(perhaps patent lawyers expect their future living to depend on the system remaining as broken as it is now)Dec 10 16:51
MinceRwhat if the patent holder is made to pay for the costs of fighting every patent they lose?Dec 10 16:51
MinceRi guess the legal system doesn't work that wayDec 10 16:52
DaemonFCActually, a bill has been brought up in the House of Representatives that would do loser pays.Dec 10 16:52
DaemonFCI think it was called the Innovate Act or something.Dec 10 16:52
MinceRlet me guess, it lostDec 10 16:53
DaemonFCIt's still being considered.Dec 10 16:54
DaemonFCIf it passes, the Senate has until the beginning of the new Congress in January of 2015 to pass it.Dec 10 16:54
DaemonFCIf they don't, the bill dies and has to be reintroduced and passed in both chambers again.Dec 10 16:55
DaemonFCI don't know why that happens. Only about 5% of the House membership changes, and maybe 5-10% of the Senate.Dec 10 16:55
DaemonFCThey just don't have that much turnover.Dec 10 16:56
DaemonFCThey spent almost all of their time fundraising.Dec 10 16:57
DaemonFCAnyone that challenges them gets drowned out by all the spending that the incumbent can afford to do.Dec 10 16:57
DaemonFCPlus, most House districts are drawn to heavily favor one party.Dec 10 16:57
DaemonFCWhatever party is in control of the state that the district is in.Dec 10 16:57
DaemonFCMy district is so heavily gerrymandered for the Republican that it would take a major scandal and a right-wing Democrat on the same year to get rid of him.Dec 10 16:58
DaemonFCIt sucks.Dec 10 16:58
DaemonFCYou can write to them, but they don't really listen. They're much more interested in what people with money tell them to do than what voters want.Dec 10 16:59
DaemonFCMost legislation they bring up is actually a threat to get more money out of whatever industry wants less regulation.Dec 10 16:59
DaemonFCAnd some industries want more regulation.Dec 10 17:00
DaemonFCThe 2010 law that was supposed to reduce smoking rates did nothing to affect the smoking rate.Dec 10 17:00
DaemonFCIt just banned most types of imported cigarettes and more kinds of advertising.Dec 10 17:00
DaemonFCThe tobacco companies wrote the bill. They wanted no foreign competition, and to not have to pay to advertise to each others customers.Dec 10 17:01
DaemonFCSo they got what they wanted. :)Dec 10 17:01
DaemonFCIt reversed the Supreme Court and handed regulation of the tobacco companies over to the FDA.Dec 10 17:02
DaemonFCSo, the FDA is supposed to protect the public health (I know. Haha!).Dec 10 17:02
DaemonFCAnd now you've got them regulating cigarettes that kill people.Dec 10 17:02
DaemonFCSo the first thing they did was ban every flavor of cigarette with the exception for menthol.Dec 10 17:02
DaemonFCWhat a coincidence. Most flavors other than menthol are imports or from smaller companies.Dec 10 17:03
DaemonFC:)Dec 10 17:03
MinceRgnDec 10 17:14
DaemonFCMenthol is a really nasty ingredient when you mix it with tobacco.Dec 10 17:14
MinceRwhy?Dec 10 17:14
MinceRi thought nicotine and natural MAOIs were nasty enoughDec 10 17:15
DaemonFCThe menthol itself is perfectly safe, but it causes people to inhale more deeply and it makes it easier to breathe when the cigarettes are actually hurting your lung function long-term.Dec 10 17:15
MinceRicDec 10 17:15
DaemonFCI have an on and off addiction, and I usually smoke menthol cigarettes.Dec 10 17:15
DaemonFCBut I signed a petition to the FDA to ban menthol. They say they're considering it.Dec 10 17:16
DaemonFCIf they did that, it would have a huge effect on the number of people who smoke.Dec 10 17:16
MinceRor a huge effect on the black market of menthol cigarettes :>Dec 10 17:16
MinceRor menthol products designed to be added by the userDec 10 17:17
MinceRremember the prohibition era :>Dec 10 17:17
DaemonFCYeah. There would be a black market for them and they'd be smuggled in from Canada and Mexico.Dec 10 17:17
DaemonFCThe price would go way up though.Dec 10 17:17
DaemonFCBlack markets do that. So, fewer people could afford them.Dec 10 17:18
DaemonFC:)Dec 10 17:18
DaemonFCMinceR: I doubt many people would want them for $10 a pack.Dec 10 17:18
MinceRit would also lead to a rise in associated crimeDec 10 17:19
DaemonFCI don't see why it would be worse than what the war on drugs has caused.Dec 10 17:21
DaemonFCMarijuana is much less dangerous than the criminals that the prohibition has enabled to do business.Dec 10 17:21
DaemonFCBut, I could see a stronger demand for the stuff that's already banned than menthol cigarettes.Dec 10 17:22
DaemonFCIt's still legal to import enough clove cigarettes for personal consumption.Dec 10 17:22
DaemonFCI think you can import up to 10 cartons per year for yourself.Dec 10 17:22
DaemonFCBut reselling them is illegal.Dec 10 17:22
DaemonFCMinceR: It's also legal to make a certain amount of beer or wine for yourself, or to give away.Dec 10 17:23

DaemonFCI'm getting kind of tired of reading these stories, where someone walks into a restaurant or orders a pizza, and then leaves no tip, and then tries to excuse their bad behavior. As if there was any excuse for stealing the labor, and possibly the gas money, of the guy that makes two bucks an hour serving you.Dec 14 00:30

DaemonFCQuantitative Easing by the Fed ensures that there will be no job gains. As long as corporate America knows that the free money will continue as long as they don't hire people, they will continue trying to avoid hiring people.Dec 14 00:35
DaemonFCThe amount of money that the Fed is dumping into their bond-buying program could have created millions of jobs paying $50,000 per year.Dec 14 00:35

DaemonFCThe system of health insurance as a perk for employed people was largely put in place as one of the things that came out of World War 2, when the economy was booming because most of the productive capacity of the rest of the world was ruined, and the United States economy was booming and providing more-or-less full employment. (If people couldn't find a job in that environment, they were probably unemployable.)Dec 14 00:46

DaemonFCIn the information economy, demand curve can't drive up prices, because a lot of the goods are intangible. Apple can copy a music file as many times as it wants, because it's just computer data.

DaemonFCIt's no longer a given that increased buying power will lead to inflation, when something can be produced as many times as you like, while requiring almost no resources dedicated to the productive capacity for the goods.Dec 14 00:54

DaemonFC1. Cost to taxpayers. I haven't seen Wayne LaPierre come out and offer to increase NRA dues so that they can pay for this.Dec 14 05:52
DaemonFC2. The school shootings will keep happening, because it fails to take guns away from irresponsible gun owners, criminals, the insane, and their children. It would take an armed teacher or police officer minutes to respond, and by that time, the shooter would have already killed many people.Dec 14 05:52

DaemonFCIf I die, they will allow perfectly usable organs to rot. Think about that, the next time you know someone that needs an eye, heart, lung, liver, kidney, etc. and can't get one.Dec 14 21:10
DaemonFCThen thank the Republican Party, right-wing homophobia, and a CDC policy that dates back to the Reagan 80s and is based on fear, not science.Dec 14 21:10
DaemonFCThen pat yourselves on the back, if you think I should still be banned, for letting other people die.Dec 14 21:10
DaemonFCI am tired of this shit. Tired of this shit. When are people going to wake up and smell reality?Dec 14 21:10
DaemonFCWhen you go down to the centers where they collect blood and plasma, and pay people to donate, look around. These are college students. These are alcoholics. These are people who you know are probably having unprotected sex. Since they're straight, we have a national policy to let them donate anyway. They're more of a risk to public health than I am. The Red Cross tests *EVERY* blood sample donated. Every single one. *If* a donor has HIV, the Dec 14 21:10
DaemonFCfourth generation tests that they use will usually catch it within five days of infection. That's how good the tests are. All they really have to ask people now is the following question.Dec 14 21:10
DaemonFC"Have you had unprotected sex, with anyone, in the last week?"Dec 14 21:10
DaemonFCBut, we have this stupid paranoia that is causing people to die because of blood, plasma, and organ shortages. STUPID people and their STUPID public policy are letting this continue, because they have irrational, illogical prejudices. That's all that's keeping this policy around now that we have modern medical science.Dec 14 21:10

DaemonFCPlease contact the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767, and tell them "It's time to end the ban on blood, plasma, tissue, and organ donations from gay and bisexual men. This policy is rooted in thirty year old hysteria, not modern medical science. Please replace your questions about sex partners with one that simply asks everyone if they've had unprotected sex recently. You are allowing straight people who have unprotected sex with an unlimited Dec 14 21:10
