MinceRdoesn't it get cold in indiana? :>Feb 02 00:00
DaemonFCI don't even know why I squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube. When I was at the post office one day, the thought occurred to me that Colgate had sent out a $1 off coupon in the junk mail that week, and Kroger had the toothpaste for $1 per 4.6 ounce tube.Feb 02 00:19
DaemonFCSo I fished all of the coupons out of the trash at the post office and bought over 100 tubes of toothpaste the next time I went to the store for milk and bread.Feb 02 00:19
DaemonFCThat was definitely one of my stranger shopping trips.Feb 02 00:20
DaemonFCI did the same thing with Edge shave gel. I had dozens of $1 off coupons, and Kroger clearanced out the "sensitive skin" one for 88 cents, so I bought everything on the shelf, and then went into the back to use the restroom. On my way out, I looked for more unopened cases of it and found several of them, so I bought those too.Feb 02 00:21
DaemonFCThey paid me 22 cents per can.Feb 02 00:21
DaemonFC:)Feb 02 00:21
DaemonFCI managed to find 52 cans of it in total.Feb 02 00:22

DaemonFCWhich ones do right-wingers actually find controversial?Feb 02 00:26
DaemonFCPlease list them and why you think each one is controversial.Feb 02 00:26
DaemonFCIf you could also provide information about which sections of which orders violate any particular section of the constitution or the United States Code, please provide this information as well.Feb 02 00:26
DaemonFCThank you.Feb 02 00:26

DaemonFCTo be totally fair, federal agencies do tend to expand until there's nothing left that they don't do.Feb 02 00:33
DaemonFCThe department of agriculture even has rent subsidies and low interest mortgage programs for rural areas.Feb 02 00:34
DaemonFCEven though the Housing and Urban Development and Federal Housing Agencies do the same kind of stuff.Feb 02 00:34
DaemonFCThey all run their programs in rural areas.Feb 02 00:35
DaemonFCWhat would be the harm in getting rid of the USDA and FHA rent and mortgage programs and giving them to HUD?Feb 02 00:35
DaemonFCWould anyone notice?Feb 02 00:35
DaemonFCI'll bet it would save billions of dollars.Feb 02 00:35
DaemonFCThere are several federal law enforcement agencies with overlapping mandates and jurisdiction.Feb 02 00:36
DaemonFCWould consolidating them all into the FBI save money? Probably.Feb 02 00:36
DaemonFCThe USDA, FDA, and Department of Education all regulate the school lunch program.Feb 02 00:37
DaemonFCWould picking one agency to run the school lunch program hurt anyone?Feb 02 00:38
DaemonFCIf you find anything the government does, you'll find three or four agencies and lots of duplications.Feb 02 00:38
DaemonFCYou could probably consolidate all of the agencies and all of their programs, fire thousands of bureaucrats and federal agents, and get the same stuff done.Feb 02 00:39

DaemonFCUnchained Capitalism only knows two rules.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCDo anything that you can get away with to make more money, and let the buyer beware.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCThe system is unsustainable. The Republicans want that system, and most Democrats appear to want to give people just enough that they don't become angry and violent.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCMost Democrats want a system that curtails only the worst excesses of capitalism and saves it from itself. I don't think that's a good thing, but it's better than what the Republicans want to do.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCI don't like to consider myself a Democrat, because the mainstream party is too far to the right, but I do vote for them because it's less bad than the worst thing that could happen.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCRomney is a product of a system that rewards people for taking advantage of others and living a parasitic lifestyle. His father was a job creator and a producer. Romney is just a business criminal and a thug that wears a suit and steals from people using legal methods. Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 02 01:39
DaemonFCAnd on that topic, I refuse to ever pay money for books with DRM, where the maker of the computer that reads them has a backdoor and a delete button with which to control what is on my device, and I can't "move them to a different shelf" (another type of computer).Feb 02 01:39
DaemonFCIf the publisher or Amazon threw a brick through the window of your living room and stole books from your bookshelf, that would be against the law.Feb 02 01:39
DaemonFCWhy are they allowed to do the same thing and call it "Kindle Books"?Feb 02 01:39
DaemonFCApple, Google, and Barnes & Noble do the same thing. I don't read books on my phone unless they have no DRM. Feb 02 01:39
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 02 01:58
DaemonFCComcast cold called me on my cell phone the other day offering to save me money.Feb 02 01:59
DaemonFCBy the time I got them to admit how much they were going to save me vs. my internet-only account, it was going to save me negative $120.Feb 02 01:59
DaemonFCIt included home phone service so that I could talk to other telemarketers. :) Feb 02 01:59

DaemonFCThe NFL, not counting the players or teams themselves, has revenue of about $9.5 billion per year, and has not paid taxes since 1966.Feb 02 05:08
DaemonFCThey're tax-exempt as a "non-profit organization".Feb 02 05:08
DaemonFCThey're also one of the most extreme copyright and trademark trolls ever. "You can't record this without the permission of the NFL".Feb 02 05:08
DaemonFCDoes anyone's DVR forbid them from recording the game whose name shall not be spoken? Please tell me if it allows you to record the game or if an anti-feature kicks in and tells you that you can't do that.Feb 02 05:08

DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 02 07:16
DaemonFCThe GPL license is probably what has held the kernel Linux and the GNU system into single coherent projects, and not the somewhat incompatible mess that the various BSD operating systems (with their "permissive" non-copyleft licensing) have, where companies like Apple take whatever the hell they want, and give back whatever they feel like.Feb 02 07:16
DaemonFCIt's caused a huge huge HUGE mess over in BSD-land. Corporations don't like to cooperate. The GPL simply requires them to or they face legal consequences. It probably also explains why none of the BSDs are as technically advanced, overall, as GNU and Linux are.Feb 02 07:16
DaemonFCVarious GNU/Linux distributions are usually broadly compatible with one another, even though there are many of them, while from BSD to BSD, an entire swath of features that exists in one may not exist at all in the others.Feb 02 07:16
DaemonFCIronically, wanting to be "friendly" to corporations with the BSD license has created a situation where the BSD operating systems aren't very good and Google and other companies didn't even really bother to create consumer products out of them. Apple is an odd exception. The BSD philosophy is the tragedy of the commons. Feb 02 07:16

TechrightsBot-trwww.occupydemocrats.com | In Rare Moment of Honesty, Wal-Mart Admits that Food Stamps Subsidize their Profits  [ http://ur1.ca/gjpog ]Feb 02 08:34
DaemonFCEvery cloud has the silver lining.Feb 02 08:34
DaemonFCSome Walmart stores have 35% of their store revenue coming from food stamps, and most of their employees are propped up by food stamps as well, because work at Walmart pays them almost nothing.Feb 02 08:34
DaemonFCI haven't shopped at a Walmart since I left my position as an assistant manager in 2006.Feb 02 08:34
DaemonFCEven then, I didn't actually shop there too much. I've always hated the company, but it was a job when nobody else was hiring, even though it didn't pay the bills for the first year I worked there ($6.95 an hour in 2004).Feb 02 08:34
DaemonFCThe Store Manager we had was awful. He actually kept tabs on how many times you slid your discount card so that he would know how much of your money was going right back to Walmart.Feb 02 08:34
DaemonFCHe yelled at me one month because I only spent a few dollars on a deli sandwich and some chips because I forget and left my lunch at home. Feb 02 08:34

DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCMicrosoft has a habit of using undocumented features in their software to make their programs do things that others can't.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCFor a long time, we had the problem of relatively slow computers (think late 90s, early 2000s) and web browsers. Windows would start up and preload most of the stuff it took to run Internet Explorer, while other browsers couldn't do that.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCIf you wanted to use Internet Explorer, it only took a second or two to open it. If you wanted to use Netscape (later Mozilla), it took about 10 seconds to load. In the mean time, you got a splash screen to look at.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCIt was one of the monopoly abuses that came up in United States v. Microsoft.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCAlso, around the time of the Internet Explorer 4 "shell update" for Windows 95, and the new IE shell integration in Windows 98 (which effectively tripled the memory requirements of the shell and caused it to leak and frequently crash, but oh well, that's Microsoft), Netscape Navigator started to crash a lot where that hardly ever happened before.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCAnyway, this shell was a bloated leaky pile of crap, but it loaded nearly everything that Internet Explorer needed, and it caused all applications on the computer to run slower, but IE appeared to be "faster", and so that's what Microsoft did. Feb 02 10:37

msb_Think of it from the point of view of a visitor to our planet.  We've now created technology that creates most of what we need with about 1/4 of the work-hours that it used to take us.  Shouldn't that be wonderful for us?  No!  Because of the pandemic psychopathy, half of us are out of work and homeless and starving!Feb 03 12:33
msb_Our ultra-wealthy psychopath rulers are using GMO food, fluoride in water, mercury and aluminum in vaccines, and wars to kill us off, and to make even more money for themselves that they couldn't spend in a thousand lifetimes.Feb 03 12:38

schestowitzDr. Roy Schestowitz -- genuine question -- why do you trust RT (Russia Today)? (I assume you put some value on its words since you link to it.) I'm not saying that any US/UK newspaper is perfect, but what I've heard/read about RT is that it is basically funded by the Kremlin. Reading the article you link to, for example, I find it a bit slippery, in ways that are a bit too long to explain in a first comment (but that I'd be happy to Feb 03 21:37

schestowitzYes, as I pointed out before (many times), RT is Russian propaganda is the same way that CNN, BBC etc. are US/West propaganda. I link to both sometimes because they help in calling out each other's BS and then you can land somewhre in the middle, realising that a lot of the press is just garbage (spin) fed to common peopleFeb 03 21:38

DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 04 21:52
DaemonFCIn fact, the best answer I got for why the Republicans rammed Romney through to get the 2012 nomination is because they figured they didn't have a better than average shot anyway, and it was their change to give him his turn and get rid of him.Feb 04 21:52

DaemonFCThe best thing that can be done is to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour and index it to inflation so that they do have something to put into their own retirement plan or use the extra money for college.Feb 04 21:57

DaemonFCFrom Amazon (talking about the Bill Nye debate there):Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFCI'm an agnostic. I'm an agnostic that leans very far towards atheism because there has been no scientific evidence presented to me that there is a higher being.Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFCI'm willing to say that I don't know with 100% certainty whether there's a higher being, but when people can prove what they're saying, it really helps the process along, and the Creationists haven't proven anything. Especially not about their claims of creation. Their argument on the origin and age of the Earth always goes back to a religious creation myth, such as Genesis, which science proves is impossible. It's impossible that the Earth was Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFCcreated in 7 days, humans in 1 day, and that it's 5,000 years old. It will be impossible to argue that that is true no matter how many times you shout it at someone, because the science proves it wrong.Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFCAs to religion, I have no religion. None of them have proven that they have any merit. None have proven that they're better than the next.Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFCAll you can do with religion is ignore it or buy a ticket to the lottery. People have worshiped more things than I can comfortably count, including the Sun. So, you're buying a lottery ticket and saying you hope yours is right and the other several hundred are wrong.Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFCAnd when you ask people why they're a Christian, it always goes back to "Well, my parents are, my friends are, most of the people around me are.".Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFCYeah, and if you go to India and ask why there's so many Hindus there, it's the same reason. If you go to Iran and ask why there's so many Muslims, same reason. If you go to Mexico and ask why most people are Catholic Christians. Well, that all goes back to the Conquistadores, but today it's the same reason.Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFCReligion is more like a contagion. It spreads because there's so many hosts that are around it who teach it to their children or threaten people and forcibly convert them, or because there's a climate of discrimination against people who don't claim to believe it. At least the Abrahamic ones like to spread through violence and coercion... And I don't think that any of this is a particularly good reason to buy into anything.Feb 05 02:54
DaemonFC VRWC says:Feb 05 02:56
DaemonFCWhat makes you think that 7 Earth days equals 7 days for God?Feb 05 02:57
DaemonFCThe length of a human day is determined by the time it takes our planet to revolve once on its axis.... What relevance would that unit of time have to the creator of the universe? Feb 05 02:57
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 05 02:57
DaemonFCWe're talking biblical literalism here. That just falls apart completely, right off the bat.Feb 05 02:57
DaemonFCBut, sure, you can make excuses, and say that it's all figurative, and throw out and ignore the parts you don't like, and you can scream at others. It doesn't prove anything except that you're a complete arsehole. (Amazon doesn't seem to mind that word.) Feb 05 02:57
DaemonFCI'd say that the bible lost a tire back there, but it didn't exactly start out with any.... Feb 05 02:57
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCSo, then we get to my second favorite part of the bible, because, well....What the hell?Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCThe flood myth.Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCGod makes it rain for 40 days and nights and floods the entire world. First of all, where did all the water go when the flood receded? If the whole world flooded, then there's nowhere for it to go. Plus, the water had to go through the water cycle, meaning it was already here to begin with. If that was the case, the entire world would have been flooded already.Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCBut, we'll set that aside and assume that God created all the excess water just for the flood and then beamed it all back up when he was finished killing all those helpless people, many of which probably did nothing particularly wrong, except one family for whatever reason.Feb 05 03:06
DaemonFCSo, this family, right? This family of seven people builds a GIGANTIC ship, enough for two of every animal in the world, except for the dinosaurs because they hit the snooze button too many times that morning, and then they set out. When the flood stops, they all enter into incestuous relationships and...damn that doesn't work, there'd be birth defects. And even if the first generation wasn't related, there's nowhere near enough genetic diversityFeb 05 03:06
DaemonFCto repopulate the planet, so everything dies out anyway.Feb 05 03:06
DaemonFCOf course, there's other reasons why the biblical flood myth is impossible, but those are just the most obvious ones that come to mind, and a child could figure most of that out. Feb 05 03:06

Sosumiand crapple has just pushed the trashcan pro's shipping to marchFeb 05 19:14
Sosumiwhich means that by they start shipping, the gpus on the thing (underclocked hd7970 on the top model) will be totally outdatedFeb 05 19:16
Sosumialso, issues with xquartz are nowhere to receive a fixFeb 05 19:17
Sosumion the other front, iOS is kind of falling behindFeb 05 19:18
Sosumiwhich means Tim Cook, the logistics genius, is not only failing at doing the logistics properlyFeb 05 19:19
Sosumibut also dragging the entire company on their former glory, if we can define that period between the introduction of the iphone 3g and the death of JobsFeb 05 19:20
Sosumiwith no actually "innovative" productFeb 05 19:21
Sosumiand not fixing current issues within osxFeb 05 19:21
Sosumiaka opengl still sucksFeb 05 19:22

Sosumithey didn't even get the tpc/ip over thunderbolt rightFeb 05 19:25
Sosumiand killed all the clustering packagesFeb 05 19:25
Sosumiso for the folks claiming the new mac pro is a reminiscence of the xserve cluster (released back during the G4 days with just a single hdd bracket)Feb 05 19:27
Sosumishould be reminded that xgrid is deadFeb 05 19:28
Sosumideprecated, just like final cut server and so onFeb 05 19:28
Sosumiand it is by mentioning all of this that the flame wars begin or the paid trolls start kicking inFeb 05 19:28
Sosumihey autodesk cares so much about osx that maya after certain polygon count just craps on itselfFeb 05 19:30
Sosumibecause apparently just there aren't enough animators using osx anymore for them to careFeb 05 19:30
MinceRthey weren't shipping trashcan pros yet?Feb 05 19:34
MinceRalso, hypeOS was behind the competition even when it was designed, and failed to even intend to catch upFeb 05 19:34
MinceRalso, i wonder how the cultists believe trashcan pros would even be mounted in a rackFeb 05 19:35
Sosuminot in europeFeb 05 19:38
Sosumieurope was pushed all the way to marchFeb 05 19:38
Sosumialso, I don't mean it in the hype os being behind androidFeb 05 19:38
SosumiI meant it the sense of how crapple has hiked the prices of the iphone and not introduced some really "kewl" feature in order to have everyone hyping about itFeb 05 19:40
MinceRicFeb 05 19:40
Sosumiand you can always use wine racksFeb 05 19:40

Sosumithat you could get everything from one single placeFeb 05 19:42
MinceRi don't think such a thing exists yetFeb 05 19:42
SosumiI meant itFeb 05 19:42
Sosumias having only one single source for distributionFeb 05 19:42
Sosumiaka itunes storeFeb 05 19:43
MinceRlike an APT repository? :>Feb 05 19:43
Sosumilets not confuse the folks out there :PFeb 05 19:43

Sosumino idea about maemoFeb 05 19:44

MinceRwell yeah, real technology doesn't have a horde of hipsters advertising itFeb 05 19:45
Sosumirequired a stylusFeb 05 19:45
Sosumiand that isn't trendyFeb 05 19:45
Sosumiwith the kind of target ppl the hypephone tried to targetFeb 05 19:45
MinceRthe things that make a smartphone a smartphone aren't trendy either :>Feb 05 19:46
Sosumilike justin beaver fansFeb 05 19:46
MinceR:>Feb 05 19:46
MinceRif i was a beaver, i'd be offendedFeb 05 19:46
Sosumiactually I can see it for myself that the ppl that usually use macs are the trendiesFeb 05 19:47
Sosumispecially these newer onesFeb 05 19:48
Sosumiit wasn't always like thatFeb 05 19:48
SosumiI actually preferred that time when no one knew what a mac wasFeb 05 19:49
Sosumiwhich also meant a cheap ticket outside of intelFeb 05 19:49
MinceRso did iFeb 05 19:49
MinceRthere was less of a war on freedom back thenFeb 05 19:49
Sosumiand you didn't have the OS so restricted as you have nowFeb 05 19:50
Sosumiand dumbified for the sake of the trendiesFeb 05 19:51
MinceReven the first lisa and mac was aimed at idiotsFeb 05 19:51
Sosuminever used thoseFeb 05 19:51
MinceRjobs' decisions were fully centered on what idiots could cope withFeb 05 19:51
MinceRalwaysFeb 05 19:52
MinceRfor example, the decision to use single-button miceFeb 05 19:52
Sosumibut actually one of the reasons I went with the mac back thenFeb 05 19:52
Sosumioutside of the cheap ticket to ppc and sonFeb 05 19:52
Sosumi*so onFeb 05 19:52
Sosumiwas because mathematica was originally designed on the macFeb 05 19:53
MinceRewFeb 05 19:53
Sosumiand I had a math teacher who was always touting itFeb 05 19:53
Sosumiand back then crapple also touted how awesome macs were for researchFeb 05 19:55
MinceRlolFeb 05 19:55
Sosumidoing pr peaces with some dudes doing protein simulations and so onFeb 05 19:55
SosumiuntilFeb 05 19:55
Sosumithey killed the fortram compilerFeb 05 19:56
SosumiI think you could still install it via macportsFeb 05 19:56
Sosumibut everyone knows that macports is the wastelandFeb 05 19:56
MinceRhaving a brain is awesome for research. and if you have a brain, you don't need crApple products :>Feb 05 19:57
Sosumijust remember when I rant about xquartz/x11 taking months without receiving a single updateFeb 05 19:57

Sosumivista 8.1 isn't hard to install at allFeb 05 21:05
Sosumiunless you do dual boot/efi bootFeb 05 21:06
MinceRmaybe gates is an idiotFeb 05 21:06
abeNd-orgw81 isnt all that bad really, faster on the same hardware than win7Feb 05 21:06
MinceRmaybe his pc was not supported properlyFeb 05 21:06
MinceRmaybe a combination of bothFeb 05 21:06
MinceRwell, i wrote an OS that crashes faster than any version of windowsFeb 05 21:06
MinceRso by that metric, it's better :>Feb 05 21:06
abeNd-orgi just installed win81 on an old pen tablet with 2gb ram, including windows updates it probably took less than 2 hours, & that was without really paying attention to itFeb 05 21:07
SosumiI had to reinstall a 8.1 after it broke just after 3 days on cad machine at my universityFeb 05 21:08
Sosumi*on a cadFeb 05 21:09
abeNd-orgive not had stability issues on my work laptop, & i beat the crap out of itFeb 05 21:09
Sosumithat for me was a record for a windows install blowing upFeb 05 21:09
Sosumibetter than that was a mac os 10.4 install breaking after installing everythingFeb 05 21:10
Sosumiand having to reinstall everything back againFeb 05 21:10
abeNd-orgim no ms lover, but ive got to admit 81 is more stable & better laid out than previous versionsFeb 05 21:14
SosumiwellFeb 05 21:14
Sosumimemory footprint of windows 8 isn't badFeb 05 21:14
Sosumicompared to osxFeb 05 21:14
Sosumiwhich consumes more ramFeb 05 21:14
abeNd-orgmind you i barely used the start menu in win7 evenFeb 05 21:14
Sosumiso how would you call programs up?Feb 05 21:15
Sosumipowershell?Feb 05 21:15
abeNd-orgi set the task bar to small icons & pin everything i use thereFeb 05 21:16
abeNd-orgor use cmdFeb 05 21:16
Sosumiif I did that I would end up with a very crowded task barFeb 05 21:16
abeNd-orgmine is as wellFeb 05 21:17
abeNd-orgbut most users wouldnt beFeb 05 21:17
SosumiI just think m$ should just copy kdeFeb 05 21:17
MinceRi think m$ should either close the shop or make a freebsd distro with a reskinned kde and wineFeb 05 21:18
Sosumiget rid of metro/modern which is just a fusion between osx's launchpad and dashboardFeb 05 21:18
MinceRwork with the wine developers to fix up supportFeb 05 21:18
MinceRyeah, get rid of metro and modernFeb 05 21:18
MinceR"modern"Feb 05 21:18
abeNd-orgMinceR: sure, when you get business apps running & supported on something other than windowsFeb 05 21:18
MinceRand ribbonFeb 05 21:18
Sosumiho yes, kill ribbonFeb 05 21:18
Sosumiribbon is now everywhereFeb 05 21:18
abeNd-orgsooo many of my customers have business specific programs that only run in windows, server & client sideFeb 05 21:18
Sosumiin autocadFeb 05 21:18
SosumimatlabFeb 05 21:18
Sosumiand so onFeb 05 21:18
MinceRthat's why i said "work with the wine developers to fix up support" :>Feb 05 21:19

MinceRnowadays i'm seeing pretty up close how hard m$ fails at enterpriseFeb 05 21:22
abeNd-orgso you have every back end & client end system running opensource?Feb 05 21:22
MinceRunfortunately, noFeb 05 21:22
MinceRit isn't my decision, of courseFeb 05 21:22
abeNd-orgis every single business process able to be ported to opensource?Feb 05 21:22
MinceRi just develop for GNU/Linux/XFeb 05 21:22
MinceRnot sureFeb 05 21:22
abeNd-orgi highly doubt every single business process has an opensource product that would address those needs, as in fully replacing a windows based alternativeFeb 05 21:23
MinceRi guess we still have mainframe apps aroundFeb 05 21:23
MinceRcoded in cobolFeb 05 21:23
MinceRalso, i see plenty of textmode DOS apps in various placesFeb 05 21:24
abeNd-orgive got loads of cpa firms with products running off mssql, windows server/client, there is just nothing in that space that runs on anything other than windowsFeb 05 21:24
MinceRstill, the impact of winblows could be dramatically reducedFeb 05 21:24
MinceRthe licensing could be improved a lotFeb 05 21:24
MinceReven they could get better over timeFeb 05 21:24
MinceRlearn workable tools, choose platform with better judgement the next time a product has to be redesigned/rewrittenFeb 05 21:25
abeNd-orgVLK licensing isnt the greatest, but it is sure better than oem/retail, trying to keep track of that is a total messFeb 05 21:25
MinceRcould be freeware or even free softwareFeb 05 21:25
Sosumiso there are no gnu/linux equivalents of activesync, azure, lync and sharepoint?Feb 05 21:25
MinceRit would hardly offset the damage they've done so farFeb 05 21:25
MinceRbut it would be a startFeb 05 21:25
abeNd-orgso you want to replace quickbooks with gnucash?Feb 05 21:26
MinceRmaybeFeb 05 21:26
abeNd-orgnot even closeFeb 05 21:26
MinceRso you want to replace postgres with mssql?Feb 05 21:26
abeNd-orgconsidering none of the vendors even support postgres, no, they only support mssqlFeb 05 21:27
MinceRthere's still plenty of idiocy out thereFeb 05 21:27
abeNd-organd the customers they service that have quickbooks, you gonna convert them to gnucash too?Feb 05 21:27
MinceRi've seen a box run mssqlFeb 05 21:27
abeNd-orgnot going to happenFeb 05 21:27
MinceRit could eventually happenFeb 05 21:27
MinceRand there are many things they could do in the meantimeFeb 05 21:27
MinceRm$ is going to die eventually anywayFeb 05 21:28
MinceRthe industry is going to leave it behind and leave it for history anyway, unless humanity destroys itselfFeb 05 21:28
MinceRmight as well start early and do it with relatively little painFeb 05 21:28
abeNd-orgsome of these vendors did have osx or linux versions in the past & dropped them because they made up less than 1% of their customer baseFeb 05 21:29
abeNd-orgso why waste time coding for something that probably won't be used?Feb 05 21:29
abeNd-orgso they tried, & the market said noFeb 05 21:30
MinceRwhy waste time preparing to move on to platforms your competitors are eyeing?Feb 05 21:30
MinceRno ideaFeb 05 21:30
MinceRwho wants to compete anywayFeb 05 21:30
MinceRlet's just leave everything as it is and expect people to throw money at usFeb 05 21:30
MinceRalso, throw all your weight behind windows phone, it's a sure winner!Feb 05 21:31
MinceRwhat could possibly go wrong?Feb 05 21:31
MinceR</sarcasm>Feb 05 21:31
abeNd-orgyea, a lot of the cpa firms run the same type of software, but there is so much work that they arent eating each others customers anyways, so changing back end systems wouldnt give them much of anything, even *if* there was a non-windows versionFeb 05 21:31
abeNd-orgmincer why, the market has said no to windows phone?Feb 05 21:31
MinceRlook at the market share numbers, since you seem to think that's all that mattersFeb 05 21:32
MinceRand not all markets are so staticFeb 05 21:32
MinceRin places, even real innovation is being done :>Feb 05 21:32
abeNd-orgyea, blackberry is at 0% & windows phone is at best, what 4%?Feb 05 21:33
abeNd-orgobviously no one really cares for either platformFeb 05 21:33
MinceRindeed.Feb 05 21:33
MinceRm$ won't be here forever.Feb 05 21:33
MinceRwindows rt also failedFeb 05 21:33
MinceRwindows 8.x is being massively rejectedFeb 05 21:33
abeNd-orgbut in the enterprise market find me current true replacements to things like http://www.cchgroup.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product__10151_-1_10053_TEMP0186Feb 05 21:34

MinceRi don't know what that isFeb 05 21:34
MinceRbut i doubt there's anything about it that would prevent any competitor from supporting another platformFeb 05 21:34

MinceRwell, the official tax software in hungary has a crossplatform java versionFeb 05 21:35
MinceR(not sure if there's any other version anymore)Feb 05 21:35
abeNd-orgthere is nothing out there opensource that could replace either of thoseFeb 05 21:35
MinceR(and yes, it isn't open source either)Feb 05 21:35
Sosumibut wait, hasn't the enterprise market just kind of finished migrating from xp to windows 7?Feb 05 21:35
MinceRbut it doesn't have to be open source to leave windows behindFeb 05 21:35
abeNd-orgSosumi: i am talking servers, not endpointsFeb 05 21:35
MinceRwindows on a server... what could possibly go wrong?Feb 05 21:36
Sosumia lot of thingsFeb 05 21:36
abeNd-orgplentyFeb 05 21:36
abeNd-orgbut when the customer's line of business application only runs on windows, what do you do?Feb 05 21:36
abeNd-orgthere is no alternative in the opensource world for itFeb 05 21:37
Sosumiconfine the windows server to the internal networkFeb 05 21:37
MinceRleave it as it is for now; port it elsewhere; make sure it runs on wine; run it on a windows vm; run it on a central windows vm and let the users use it as thin clientsFeb 05 21:38
MinceRdevelop a competing applicationFeb 05 21:38
MinceRthe possibilities are limitless :)Feb 05 21:38
abeNd-orgyea, these windows servers arent open to the public internet, you wouldnt do that with anything in the enterprise, but im not talking firewalls/airgapping/policies/etc, im talking alternatives. you guys act like every corporate server based app like cch's product line have a 100% feature rich opensource alternative... those don't exist..Feb 05 21:38
MinceRno, that's not what i'm sayingFeb 05 21:38
abeNd-orgvendors won't support running the product in wineFeb 05 21:39
MinceRwhat i'm saying that there's a way forward (1) for m$ that doesn't seem entirely incompatible with what they've been ding so farFeb 05 21:39
abeNd-orgthat just isnt realisticFeb 05 21:39
MinceRand (2) for the rest of the industry, beyond m$Feb 05 21:39
MinceRhow do you know vendors will never support it?Feb 05 21:39
MinceRit might be cheap enough to do so and might provide enough of an edge over a competitorFeb 05 21:39
MinceRespecially as clients start getting rid of their windows boxesFeb 05 21:39
abeNd-orgive actually checked with some, most laugh at it, or ask "what is that?"Feb 05 21:40
MinceR(for example because they're sick and tired of retraining their employees for vista, 8, and whatever else)Feb 05 21:40
abeNd-orgso no, wine is not realistic especially for an mssql back end Feb 05 21:40
MinceR(and sick and tired of paying exorbitant fees for windows upgrades and buying expensive hardware to support them)Feb 05 21:40
abeNd-orgi really dont see the training issues between win95-7, pretty much the same thingFeb 05 21:41
MinceRit doesn't seem impossible to migrate an application to support more sql backendsFeb 05 21:41
abeNd-orgwin31 & win8 (metro) are the only 2 that actually look differentFeb 05 21:41
MinceRespecially to a saner ingres forkFeb 05 21:41
MinceR(mssql is a fork of ingres)Feb 05 21:41
abeNd-org& with win81 you just boot to desktop via GPOFeb 05 21:41
MinceRactually, there's a lot more to it than thatFeb 05 21:41
MinceRa lot of functions were totally rearrangedFeb 05 21:41
abeNd-orgMinceR: none of them would entertain moving or supporting other databases eitherFeb 05 21:42
MinceRthe start button was taken out, put back inFeb 05 21:42
abeNd-org8 doesnt count, since everyone got a free update to 81Feb 05 21:42
MinceRthe start menu was replaced by fullscreen IE that is totally non-discoverableFeb 05 21:42
MinceRactually it does countFeb 05 21:42
MinceRfor a while it was _the_ thing to "upgrade" toFeb 05 21:42
MinceRand customers didn't like it too muchFeb 05 21:42
abeNd-orgright, so use win7 or 81, no one uses 8Feb 05 21:42
MinceRribbon is also spreading in winblowsFeb 05 21:43
MinceRand that also needs plenty of retrainingFeb 05 21:43
abeNd-orgi see my foxit pdf reader has ribbon, but you can turn it offFeb 05 21:43
MinceRbuilt-in winblows apps come with ribbonFeb 05 21:43
abeNd-orgnotepad has ribbon?Feb 05 21:43
MinceRexplorer, paint, maybe notepad and wordpadFeb 05 21:43
MinceRnot sure, i'm sure paint has it and explorer had something of the sortFeb 05 21:44
abeNd-orglol, no, notepad does not have ribbon.....Feb 05 21:44
MinceRIE has its own stupid thing goingFeb 05 21:44
MinceRwith even the menubar being in some random placeFeb 05 21:44
abeNd-orgall the browsers have their own wacky interface goingFeb 05 21:44
MinceRnopeFeb 05 21:44
MinceR(then again, if a business relies on IE, they deserve everything)Feb 05 21:44
abeNd-orgyea, ie/firefox/chrome on windows all have things placed differentlyFeb 05 21:44
MinceRah, the m$ sense of "nonstandard"Feb 05 21:45
MinceRas in, different from m$'s wayFeb 05 21:45
MinceRdoesn't matter if they're consistent with each other, they aren't consistent with us!Feb 05 21:45
abeNd-orgeven firefox on windows vs linux, preferences option is in a different spotFeb 05 21:45
MinceRdidn't even notice thatFeb 05 21:45
MinceRthen again, i've turned off the standard menubar and use the menu buttonFeb 05 21:46
abeNd-orgedit/preferences in linux, tools/options in windowsFeb 05 21:46
abeNd-orgso go bitch at firefox for having their own program all jacked up on different platforms :PFeb 05 21:46
MinceRyeah, a menu item being different is totally comparable with menu vs. ribbon and randomizing where the menubar isFeb 05 21:47
MinceRalso, putting randomized buttons with randomized appearance all over the placeFeb 05 21:47
abeNd-orgi dont really find myself using the ribbon in most apps anyways, shortcut keysFeb 05 21:48
MinceRi think you'll find that most users retraining applies to won't use those often :>Feb 05 21:48
abeNd-orgthat is still end user stuff, im trying to get out of you viable server side alternativesFeb 05 21:50
MinceRthat seems easierFeb 05 21:50
MinceRthere's plenty of advantages to be had from migrating to a real server OSFeb 05 21:51
MinceRincluding cost savingsFeb 05 21:51
MinceRseems like an obvious way to gain an advantage over competitorsFeb 05 21:51
*freedomrun has quit (Quit: So long and thanks for all the fish)Feb 05 21:51
MinceRespecially if they're wasting expensive hardware on something like mssqlFeb 05 21:51
MinceRagain, an obvious thing to look for when redesigining/reimplementing a productFeb 05 21:52
abeNd-orgusually running virtualized, under vmware esxi essentials plus (or enterprise depending on the client) & a sanFeb 05 21:52
MinceRwow, the most horrible virtualizer they could possibly findFeb 05 21:53
MinceRvmware couldn't be arsed to provide a console client that would run on 32bit winblows xp, let alone gnu/linuxFeb 05 21:53
abeNd-orgso my guess is you think xen is better than esxi55 or hyperv2012r2core?Feb 05 21:53
MinceRpretty sureFeb 05 21:53
abeNd-orguhm, the vcenter webclient in 5.5 i am sure is pretty much fully cross platformFeb 05 21:54
MinceRbut i guess if they're trying to hurt themselves as much as possible, then all m$ is the way to go, with a little vmware on the topFeb 05 21:54
abeNd-orgthey are doing away with the old windows based clientFeb 05 21:54
MinceRi'm pretty sure the version i used didn't have a webclientFeb 05 21:54
MinceRmaybe the admins could have installed one but afaik they didn'tFeb 05 21:54
MinceRagain, a pretty insane way to build softwareFeb 05 21:54
MinceR'oh, and by the way, if you want to use it at all, you'll also run this piece of crap on a webserver. have fun!'Feb 05 21:55
MinceRi guess the next step will be restricting the web client to ieFeb 05 21:55
abeNd-orgin the 5 yrs of using vmware esx/esxi ive only had one instance of a "PSOD", & that was quickly fixed, so that is pretty darn stableFeb 05 21:55
MinceRso you get to run a machine to run the web client and a vm to run ie on to access the vm you're trying to useFeb 05 21:55
MinceRyo dawg, i heard you liked virtual machinesFeb 05 21:56
abeNd-orgvcenter server appliance is linux basedFeb 05 21:56
MinceRwell, at least there's thatFeb 05 21:56
MinceRmeanwhile everyone else has supported things like vnc for agesFeb 05 21:56
abeNd-org& that is what hosts the webclient, they arent restricting it to IE onlyFeb 05 21:56
MinceRwell, i guess not hype-v, but who cares about thatFeb 05 21:56
MinceR...yetFeb 05 21:56
MinceRi've seen plenty of ie-only "web"apps alreadyFeb 05 21:56
abeNd-orgive been running it in chromeFeb 05 21:57
abeNd-orgwithout issue, so pretty sure it isnt limited to IE, so nothing to worry about thereFeb 05 21:57
MinceRthere's plenty to worry about, considering their pastFeb 05 21:57
abeNd-orgpretty sure vmware is leaning to be as platform agnostic as it can be since ms has their pure-ms hypervFeb 05 21:58
abeNd-orgnone of my clients are running xen, even citrix's variety Feb 05 21:59
MinceRwell, i hope vmware will manage to be more platform agnostic in the futureFeb 05 22:00
abeNd-orgby going with the webconsole for vcenter they areFeb 05 22:01
abeNd-orgif you try using the win32 app with 5.5 it pretty much says at the login screen to use the webclient, that the win32 app will not receive any feature updates & all that goes into the webclientFeb 05 22:01
abeNd-orgso yea, the windows only management is pretty much deadFeb 05 22:02
MinceRi hope they'll install the webclient where i work, thenFeb 05 22:02
abeNd-orgare you running esxi free, or at least essentials?Feb 05 22:02
MinceRdoes vmware charge extra for the webclient?Feb 05 22:02
MinceRi think they're running some sort of esxiFeb 05 22:02
abeNd-org& if essentials, do you have a vcenter server (either be it the linux appliance or installed on windows)?Feb 05 22:03
MinceRbut i'm not sure, vmware is throwing product names around like they're charging per word or somethingFeb 05 22:03
MinceRthere's also something they call vSphereFeb 05 22:03
abeNd-orgnot really but *shrug* (outside of the sales side of things)Feb 05 22:03
abeNd-orgyea, if you know your vsphere server dns/ip, try the following - Feb 05 22:03
abeNd-orghttps://vcenter:5480 - that will only show up if they are running the linux applianceFeb 05 22:04

abeNd-orgif they are running vcenter 5.1 or 5.5 that should be availableFeb 05 22:06
abeNd-orgi know i use it for my vmware installsFeb 05 22:06
SosumiI see you both have experience in the corporate world...Feb 05 22:12
MinceRif vmware spent the money they spent on making up product names on development instead, they'd probably have better products and more easily understood product names :>Feb 05 22:12

schestowitzAn excellent study of disk drives was published by Google in 2007. It's a bit dated now but some of the observations are still interesting.Feb 06 00:46
schestowitz    ...SMART parameters alone are unlikely to be useful for predicting individual drive failures. Surprisingly, we found that temperature and activity levels were much less correlated with drive failures than previously reported.Feb 06 00:46
schestowitz    Failure rates are known to be highly correlated with drive models, manufacturers and vintages [18]. Our results do not contradict this fact. For example, Figure 2 changes significantly when we normalize failure rates perdrive model. Most age-related results are impacteddrive vintages. However, in this paper, we do not showbreakdown of drives per manufacturer, model, or vintage due to the proprietary nature of these data.Feb 06 00:46
schestowitz    Interestingly, this does not change our conclusions.contrast to age-related results, we note that all results shown in the rest of the paper are not affected significantly by the population mix. None of our SMARTresults change significantly when normalized by drive model. The only exception is seek error rate, which dependent on one specific drive manufacturer, as we discuss in section 3.5.5. ... it as a rate, and it is meant to beFeb 06 00:46
schestowitzused in combination with model-specific thresholds. When examining our population, we find that seek errors are widespread within drives of one manufacturer only, while others are more conservative in showing this kind of errors. For this one manufacturer, the trend in seek errors is not clear, changing from one vintage to another. For other manufacturers, there is no correlation between failure rates and seek errors.Feb 06 00:46
schestowitz    [Other Work]...[Seagate] rates from 1.2% in the first year to 0.39% in the third (and last year of record). In our study, we did not find much correlation between failure rate and either elevated temperature or utilization. It is the most surprising result of our study. Our annualized failure rates were generally higher than those reported by vendors, and more consistent with other user experience studies.Feb 06 00:46

schestowitzVista 7 has tried to imitate the last generation of gnu/linux DE. It almost looks like a crippled version of KDE 3.5.Feb 06 00:47
schestowitzThe issue is not so much what gnu/linux desktops look like but that they can look like anything you want. The Windows 95 layout is clumsy and painful but the point is that people who use their computer that way can have what they want.Feb 06 00:47
schestowitzI explain what I think of DE's in this write up that praises E16 and in this index of use. Computers became too powerful for awkward tabbed interfaces like Microsoft's taskbar way back in the 1990s. E16's clear distinction between virtual desktops and virtual screens solved that problem elegantly. Programs can be arranged by task on different virtual desktops and left running. The kernel puts unused programs in cache, so there's not Feb 06 00:47

DaemonFC"I don't like Amazon Instant Video. I'd have to go install Firefox for Windows in Wine and get some Windows versions of plugins for it, and then you still have to stream it. Amazon and the publishers aren't really giving you the files. They're giving you the permission to stream it from their servers. I hope your internet access isn't metered and that Amazon exists forever, for your sake, if you're making such foolish "investments"."Feb 07 01:54

DaemonFCThey say that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The Republicans in Congress have ignored the economy and jobs to schedule hundreds of votes to try to repeal your health insurance. Indiana Republicans in the General Assembly have been trying to add a constitutional Marriage Discrimination Amendment since 2004 for no particularly good reason. There is no plan except to let everything fall apart Feb 08 03:33

DaemonFCI replied:  In other words, when YOUR taxes and fees go up, you know who to thank. Many companies pay less than nothing. A Walmart store not only pays no net taxes, they actually cost taxpayers $900,000 apiece. How many more giveaways to highly profitable corporations must Indiana and Federal taxpayers absorb, Governor Pence?Feb 08 03:34
DaemonFCI've been mounting an all out assault on Governor Pence's Facebook account.Feb 08 03:35
DaemonFCSomeone asked why I Liked him. I told them that I don't like him, I just want to know when I need to reply to one of his Imperial Utterances.Feb 08 03:36
DaemonFCThere was a scandal a while back that made all the newspapers and the evening news channels.Feb 08 03:36
DaemonFCGovernor Pence's staff was deleting comments that were negative responses to his posts and policies. They got caught and called out.Feb 08 03:37
DaemonFCAs far as I can tell, they're not removing anything now, because they don't want to be back in the news for censorship.Feb 08 03:37
DaemonFCSo, there's a group of people, including me, that do not like our governor and have set out to turn his Facebook wall into a liability instead of an asset.Feb 08 03:38
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 08 04:10
DaemonFCI try to minimize my sales taxes by buying high quality goods to begin with so that I don't have to keep buying things over and over again, and ultimately paying more for the items and the sales tax.Feb 08 04:10
DaemonFCFor example, a pair of American-made New Balance shoes that I wear every day is now three years old and I think I can get 2-3 more years out of them. They still look nearly new. They cost me $120. A $20 pair of Walmart shoes needs to be replaced about three or four times every year.Feb 08 04:10
DaemonFCOver time, you pay more when you buy inferior goods.Feb 08 04:10
DaemonFCI'll still shop Amazon even though they make you pay sales tax now. What's the other choice? Junk from Walmart? Feb 08 04:10
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 08 04:22
DaemonFCNot only did Occupy Wall Street fail to find its voice and get violently broken up by the corporations and their police, but the movement was even counterproductive in some ways.Feb 08 04:22
DaemonFCSome of the people that decided to camp out started ****ing, and had kids. How awful. Now they not only have no job or a $7-8 Walmart-style job, they have kids to take care of too. Worst possible situation that they could be in.Feb 08 04:22
DaemonFCNow's not the time to be having kids. The benefits are getting less and less generous, and work doesn't pay the bills even if you don't have them. Feb 08 04:22
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 08 04:22
DaemonFCMy cousin works at McDonalds and her boyfriend works in the deli at Walmart, and she announced on her Facebook that she's pregnant and excited about it.Feb 08 04:22
DaemonFCHow are you supposed to congratulate that? I ended up saying nothing because if I said anything honest, it would have to be "Oh my, I am so sorry...".Feb 08 04:22
DaemonFCThey'll find out. I feel bad for them. Thankfully, Obamacare exists now so they can get affordable insurance at least. Feb 08 04:22

cubezzzmost of the advances in GUIs have been cosmeticFeb 08 22:37
cubezzzstuff keeps getting orphaned so I went to a lot of trouble archiving source code for older KDEFeb 08 22:40

DaemonFCI don't even know why I squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube. When I was at the post office one day, the thought occurred to me that Colgate had sent out a $1 off coupon in the junk mail that week, and Kroger had the toothpaste for $1 per 4.6 ounce tube.Feb 02 00:18

DaemonFCTo be totally fair, federal agencies do tend to expand until there's nothing left that they don't do.Feb 02 00:33
DaemonFCThe department of agriculture even has rent subsidies and low interest mortgage programs for rural areas.Feb 02 00:33
DaemonFCEven though the Housing and Urban Development and Federal Housing Agencies do the same kind of stuff.Feb 02 00:34
DaemonFCThey all run their programs in rural areas.Feb 02 00:34
DaemonFCWhat would be the harm in getting rid of the USDA and FHA rent and mortgage programs and giving them to HUD?Feb 02 00:35
DaemonFCWould anyone notice?Feb 02 00:35
DaemonFCI'll bet it would save billions of dollars.Feb 02 00:35
DaemonFCThere are several federal law enforcement agencies with overlapping mandates and jurisdiction.Feb 02 00:36
DaemonFCWould consolidating them all into the FBI save money? Probably.Feb 02 00:36
DaemonFCThe USDA, FDA, and Department of Education all regulate the school lunch program.Feb 02 00:37
DaemonFCWould picking one agency to run the school lunch program hurt anyone?Feb 02 00:37
DaemonFCIf you find anything the government does, you'll find three or four agencies and lots of duplications.Feb 02 00:38
DaemonFCYou could probably consolidate all of the agencies and all of their programs, fire thousands of bureaucrats and federal agents, and get the same stuff done.Feb 02 00:39

DaemonFCUnchained Capitalism only knows two rules.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCDo anything that you can get away with to make more money, and let the buyer beware.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCThe system is unsustainable. The Republicans want that system, and most Democrats appear to want to give people just enough that they don't become angry and violent.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCMost Democrats want a system that curtails only the worst excesses of capitalism and saves it from itself. I don't think that's a good thing, but it's better than what the Republicans want to do.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCI don't like to consider myself a Democrat, because the mainstream party is too far to the right, but I do vote for them because it's less bad than the worst thing that could happen.Feb 02 01:32
DaemonFCRomney is a product of a system that rewards people for taking advantage of others and living a parasitic lifestyle. His father was a job creator and a producer. Romney is just a business criminal and a thug that wears a suit and steals from people using legal methods. Feb 02 01:32

DaemonFCAnd on that topic, I refuse to ever pay money for books with DRM, where the maker of the computer that reads them has a backdoor and a delete button with which to control what is on my device, and I can't "move them to a different shelf" (another type of computer).Feb 02 01:38
DaemonFCIf the publisher or Amazon threw a brick through the window of your living room and stole books from your bookshelf, that would be against the law.Feb 02 01:38
DaemonFCWhy are they allowed to do the same thing and call it "Kindle Books"?Feb 02 01:39
DaemonFCApple, Google, and Barnes & Noble do the same thing. I don't read books on my phone unless they have no DRM. Feb 02 01:39
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 02 01:58
DaemonFCComcast cold called me on my cell phone the other day offering to save me money.Feb 02 01:58
DaemonFCBy the time I got them to admit how much they were going to save me vs. my internet-only account, it was going to save me negative $120.Feb 02 01:58
DaemonFCIt included home phone service so that I could talk to other telemarketers. :) Feb 02 01:58

DaemonFCThe NFL, not counting the players or teams themselves, has revenue of about $9.5 billion per year, and has not paid taxes since 1966.Feb 02 05:08
DaemonFCThey're tax-exempt as a "non-profit organization".Feb 02 05:08
DaemonFCThey're also one of the most extreme copyright and trademark trolls ever. "You can't record this without the permission of the NFL".Feb 02 05:08
DaemonFCDoes anyone's DVR forbid them from recording the game whose name shall not be spoken? Please tell me if it allows you to record the game or if an anti-feature kicks in and tells you that you can't do that.Feb 02 05:08

DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 02 07:15
DaemonFCThe GPL license is probably what has held the kernel Linux and the GNU system into single coherent projects, and not the somewhat incompatible mess that the various BSD operating systems (with their "permissive" non-copyleft licensing) have, where companies like Apple take whatever the hell they want, and give back whatever they feel like.Feb 02 07:15
DaemonFCIt's caused a huge huge HUGE mess over in BSD-land. Corporations don't like to cooperate. The GPL simply requires them to or they face legal consequences. It probably also explains why none of the BSDs are as technically advanced, overall, as GNU and Linux are.Feb 02 07:15
DaemonFCVarious GNU/Linux distributions are usually broadly compatible with one another, even though there are many of them, while from BSD to BSD, an entire swath of features that exists in one may not exist at all in the others.Feb 02 07:15
DaemonFCIronically, wanting to be "friendly" to corporations with the BSD license has created a situation where the BSD operating systems aren't very good and Google and other companies didn't even really bother to create consumer products out of them. Apple is an odd exception. The BSD philosophy is the tragedy of the commons. Feb 02 07:16

TechrightsBot-trwww.occupydemocrats.com | In Rare Moment of Honesty, Wal-Mart Admits that Food Stamps Subsidize their Profits  [ http://ur1.ca/gjpog ]Feb 02 08:33
DaemonFCEvery cloud has the silver lining.Feb 02 08:33
DaemonFCSome Walmart stores have 35% of their store revenue coming from food stamps, and most of their employees are propped up by food stamps as well, because work at Walmart pays them almost nothing.Feb 02 08:33
DaemonFCI haven't shopped at a Walmart since I left my position as an assistant manager in 2006.Feb 02 08:33
DaemonFCEven then, I didn't actually shop there too much. I've always hated the company, but it was a job when nobody else was hiring, even though it didn't pay the bills for the first year I worked there ($6.95 an hour in 2004).Feb 02 08:33
DaemonFCThe Store Manager we had was awful. He actually kept tabs on how many times you slid your discount card so that he would know how much of your money was going right back to Walmart.Feb 02 08:33
DaemonFCHe yelled at me one month because I only spent a few dollars on a deli sandwich and some chips because I forget and left my lunch at home. Feb 02 08:33

DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCMicrosoft has a habit of using undocumented features in their software to make their programs do things that others can't.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCFor a long time, we had the problem of relatively slow computers (think late 90s, early 2000s) and web browsers. Windows would start up and preload most of the stuff it took to run Internet Explorer, while other browsers couldn't do that.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCIf you wanted to use Internet Explorer, it only took a second or two to open it. If you wanted to use Netscape (later Mozilla), it took about 10 seconds to load. In the mean time, you got a splash screen to look at.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCIt was one of the monopoly abuses that came up in United States v. Microsoft.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCAlso, around the time of the Internet Explorer 4 "shell update" for Windows 95, and the new IE shell integration in Windows 98 (which effectively tripled the memory requirements of the shell and caused it to leak and frequently crash, but oh well, that's Microsoft), Netscape Navigator started to crash a lot where that hardly ever happened before.Feb 02 10:37
DaemonFCAnyway, this shell was a bloated leaky pile of crap, but it loaded nearly everything that Internet Explorer needed, and it caused all applications on the computer to run slower, but IE appeared to be "faster", and so that's what Microsoft did. Feb 02 10:37

schestowitzDr. Roy Schestowitz -- genuine question -- why do you trust RT (Russia Today)? (I assume you put some value on its words since you link to it.) I'm not saying that any US/UK newspaper is perfect, but what I've heard/read about RT is that it is basically funded by the Kremlin. Reading the article you link to, for example, I find it a bit slippery, in ways that are a bit too long to explain in a first comment (but that I'd be happy to Feb 03 21:36

schestowitzYes, as I pointed out before (many times), RT is Russian propaganda is the same way that CNN, BBC etc. are US/West propaganda.

DaemonFCThe Fourth Amendment Protection Act does three basic things:Feb 04 22:36
DaemonFC1. It states that no state agency or resources are to be used to comply with the United States National Security Agency when they are attempting to collect data on state residents without a valid warrant issued by a court of law, and makes it a criminal offense to cooperate with them if they do not present a valid warrant.Feb 04 22:36
DaemonFC2. It states that no utility companies operating within the state are allowed to provide service to any NSA building or data center within the state.Feb 04 22:36
DaemonFC3. It forbids any public universities within the state from cooperating with NSA research or allowing NSA recruiters onto the campus.Feb 04 22:36

DaemonFCFrom Amazon (talking about the Bill Nye debate there):Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFCI'm an agnostic. I'm an agnostic that leans very far towards atheism because there has been no scientific evidence presented to me that there is a higher being.Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFCI'm willing to say that I don't know with 100% certainty whether there's a higher being, but when people can prove what they're saying, it really helps the process along, and the Creationists haven't proven anything. Especially not about their claims of creation. Their argument on the origin and age of the Earth always goes back to a religious creation myth, such as Genesis, which science proves is impossible. It's impossible that the Earth was Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFCcreated in 7 days, humans in 1 day, and that it's 5,000 years old. It will be impossible to argue that that is true no matter how many times you shout it at someone, because the science proves it wrong.Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFCAs to religion, I have no religion. None of them have proven that they have any merit. None have proven that they're better than the next.Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFCAll you can do with religion is ignore it or buy a ticket to the lottery. People have worshiped more things than I can comfortably count, including the Sun. So, you're buying a lottery ticket and saying you hope yours is right and the other several hundred are wrong.Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFCAnd when you ask people why they're a Christian, it always goes back to "Well, my parents are, my friends are, most of the people around me are.".Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFCYeah, and if you go to India and ask why there's so many Hindus there, it's the same reason. If you go to Iran and ask why there's so many Muslims, same reason. If you go to Mexico and ask why most people are Catholic Christians. Well, that all goes back to the Conquistadores, but today it's the same reason.Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFCReligion is more like a contagion. It spreads because there's so many hosts that are around it who teach it to their children or threaten people and forcibly convert them, or because there's a climate of discrimination against people who don't claim to believe it. At least the Abrahamic ones like to spread through violence and coercion... And I don't think that any of this is a particularly good reason to buy into anything.Feb 05 02:53
DaemonFC VRWC says:Feb 05 02:56
DaemonFCWhat makes you think that 7 Earth days equals 7 days for God?Feb 05 02:56
DaemonFCThe length of a human day is determined by the time it takes our planet to revolve once on its axis.... What relevance would that unit of time have to the creator of the universe? Feb 05 02:56
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 05 02:56
DaemonFCWe're talking biblical literalism here. That just falls apart completely, right off the bat.Feb 05 02:56
DaemonFCBut, sure, you can make excuses, and say that it's all figurative, and throw out and ignore the parts you don't like, and you can scream at others. It doesn't prove anything except that you're a complete arsehole. (Amazon doesn't seem to mind that word.) Feb 05 02:56
DaemonFCI'd say that the bible lost a tire back there, but it didn't exactly start out with any.... Feb 05 02:57
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCSo, then we get to my second favorite part of the bible, because, well....What the hell?Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCThe flood myth.Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCGod makes it rain for 40 days and nights and floods the entire world. First of all, where did all the water go when the flood receded? If the whole world flooded, then there's nowhere for it to go. Plus, the water had to go through the water cycle, meaning it was already here to begin with. If that was the case, the entire world would have been flooded already.Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCBut, we'll set that aside and assume that God created all the excess water just for the flood and then beamed it all back up when he was finished killing all those helpless people, many of which probably did nothing particularly wrong, except one family for whatever reason.Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCSo, this family, right? This family of seven people builds a GIGANTIC ship, enough for two of every animal in the world, except for the dinosaurs because they hit the snooze button too many times that morning, and then they set out. When the flood stops, they all enter into incestuous relationships and...damn that doesn't work, there'd be birth defects. And even if the first generation wasn't related, there's nowhere near enough genetic diversityFeb 05 03:05
DaemonFCto repopulate the planet, so everything dies out anyway.Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFCOf course, there's other reasons why the biblical flood myth is impossible, but those are just the most obvious ones that come to mind, and a child could figure most of that out. Feb 05 03:05
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 05 03:17

DaemonFCI think if there were aliens that liked to farm and eat humans, they'd have to have some redundancy in the system, to account for the fact that half of the planets full of humans probably got blown up over stupid arguments about whose invisible man in the sky was better, or silly arguments about which economic system to use.

DaemonFCI saw a movie where 2 Japanese boys were kidnapped by alien women from Planet X who wanted to suck their brains to absorb their knowledge. It's a good thing that Gamera the giant flying turtle was there to save them. A real classic. Feb 05 04:56

DaemonFCThe banks are just letting all the houses that they cheated people out of either rot, and letting the taxpayers pay to tear them down, or are renting them out and turning the rental contracts into "securities".

Sosumiand crapple has just pushed the trashcan pro's shipping to marchFeb 05 19:14
Sosumiwhich means that by they start shipping, the gpus on the thing (underclocked hd7970 on the top model) will be totally outdatedFeb 05 19:15
Sosumialso, issues with xquartz are nowhere to receive a fixFeb 05 19:16
Sosumion the other front, iOS is kind of falling behindFeb 05 19:17
Sosumiwhich means Tim Cook, the logistics genius, is not only failing at doing the logistics properlyFeb 05 19:18
Sosumibut also dragging the entire company on their former glory, if we can define that period between the introduction of the iphone 3g and the death of JobsFeb 05 19:19
Sosumiwith no actually "innovative" productFeb 05 19:20
Sosumiand not fixing current issues within osxFeb 05 19:21
Sosumiaka opengl still sucksFeb 05 19:21
Sosumiand minor bugs with the windowing systemFeb 05 19:21
Sosumicrapple is slowly falling into irrelevanceFeb 05 19:22
Sosumiwhich is goodFeb 05 19:23
SosumihellFeb 05 19:24
Sosumithey didn't even get the tpc/ip over thunderbolt rightFeb 05 19:24
Sosumiand killed all the clustering packagesFeb 05 19:24
Sosumiso for the folks claiming the new mac pro is a reminiscence of the xserve cluster (released back during the G4 days with just a single hdd bracket)Feb 05 19:26
Sosumishould be reminded that xgrid is deadFeb 05 19:27
Sosumideprecated, just like final cut server and so onFeb 05 19:27
Sosumiand it is by mentioning all of this that the flame wars begin or the paid trolls start kicking inFeb 05 19:28
Sosumihey autodesk cares so much about osx that maya after certain polygon count just craps on itselfFeb 05 19:29
Sosumibecause apparently just there aren't enough animators using osx anymore for them to careFeb 05 19:30
MinceRthey weren't shipping trashcan pros yet?Feb 05 19:33
MinceRalso, hypeOS was behind the competition even when it was designed, and failed to even intend to catch upFeb 05 19:34
MinceRalso, i wonder how the cultists believe trashcan pros would even be mounted in a rackFeb 05 19:35
Sosuminot in europeFeb 05 19:37
Sosumieurope was pushed all the way to marchFeb 05 19:37
Sosumialso, I don't mean it in the hype os being behind androidFeb 05 19:38
SosumiI meant it the sense of how crapple has hiked the prices of the iphone and not introduced some really "kewl" feature in order to have everyone hyping about itFeb 05 19:39
MinceRicFeb 05 19:39
Sosumiand you can always use wine racksFeb 05 19:39
MinceRlolFeb 05 19:39
MinceRalso, i meant it as being behind PalmOS, winblows mobile and Symbian :>Feb 05 19:40
Sosumior bookshelves like virginia tech did with their first version of the system xFeb 05 19:40
Sosumiit was behind thoseFeb 05 19:40
SosumiactuallyFeb 05 19:40
Sosumithe only thing crapple brought inFeb 05 19:40
Sosumiwas the unified storeFeb 05 19:40
Sosuminothing moreFeb 05 19:40
MinceRunified between what?Feb 05 19:41
Sosumithat you could get everything from one single placeFeb 05 19:41
MinceRi don't think such a thing exists yetFeb 05 19:41
SosumiI meant itFeb 05 19:41
Sosumias having only one single source for distributionFeb 05 19:42
Sosumiaka itunes storeFeb 05 19:42
MinceRlike an APT repository? :>Feb 05 19:42
Sosumilets not confuse the folks out there :PFeb 05 19:42
MinceRi think Maemo had that before crAppleFeb 05 19:43
Sosumiand only after that nokia came with the ovi storeFeb 05 19:43
MinceRs/crApple/hypeOS/Feb 05 19:43
Sosumino idea about maemoFeb 05 19:43
MinceRwikipedia says it used APT for updates :>Feb 05 19:43
Sosumibut it never caught into the mainstreamFeb 05 19:44
Sosumiand the only? maemo device that nokia put outFeb 05 19:44
MinceRwell yeah, real technology doesn't have a horde of hipsters advertising itFeb 05 19:44
Sosumirequired a stylusFeb 05 19:44
Sosumiand that isn't trendyFeb 05 19:44
Sosumiwith the kind of target ppl the hypephone tried to targetFeb 05 19:45
MinceRthe things that make a smartphone a smartphone aren't trendy either :>Feb 05 19:45
Sosumilike justin beaver fansFeb 05 19:45
MinceR:>Feb 05 19:45
MinceRif i was a beaver, i'd be offendedFeb 05 19:45
Sosumiactually I can see it for myself that the ppl that usually use macs are the trendiesFeb 05 19:46
Sosumispecially these newer onesFeb 05 19:47
Sosumiit wasn't always like thatFeb 05 19:47
SosumiI actually preferred that time when no one knew what a mac wasFeb 05 19:48
Sosumiwhich also meant a cheap ticket outside of intelFeb 05 19:48
MinceRso did iFeb 05 19:48
MinceRthere was less of a war on freedom back thenFeb 05 19:49
Sosumiand you didn't have the OS so restricted as you have nowFeb 05 19:49
Sosumiand dumbified for the sake of the trendiesFeb 05 19:50
MinceReven the first lisa and mac was aimed at idiotsFeb 05 19:50
Sosuminever used thoseFeb 05 19:51
MinceRjobs' decisions were fully centered on what idiots could cope withFeb 05 19:51
MinceRalwaysFeb 05 19:51
MinceRfor example, the decision to use single-button miceFeb 05 19:51
Sosumibut actually one of the reasons I went with the mac back thenFeb 05 19:51
Sosumioutside of the cheap ticket to ppc and sonFeb 05 19:51
Sosumi*so onFeb 05 19:51
Sosumiwas because mathematica was originally designed on the macFeb 05 19:52
MinceRewFeb 05 19:52
Sosumiand I had a math teacher who was always touting itFeb 05 19:52
Sosumiand back then crapple also touted how awesome macs were for researchFeb 05 19:54
MinceRlolFeb 05 19:54
Sosumidoing pr peaces with some dudes doing protein simulations and so onFeb 05 19:55
SosumiuntilFeb 05 19:55
Sosumithey killed the fortram compilerFeb 05 19:55
SosumiI think you could still install it via macportsFeb 05 19:55
Sosumibut everyone knows that macports is the wastelandFeb 05 19:56
MinceRhaving a brain is awesome for research. and if you have a brain, you don't need crApple products :>Feb 05 19:56
Sosumijust remember when I rant about xquartz/x11 taking months without receiving a single updateFeb 05 19:56
SosumiI just sayFeb 05 19:57
Sosumiit was a good ride back during the ppc daysFeb 05 19:57

Sosumifor me I just hope that the issues with parity between proprietary drivers and free drivers gets solvedFeb 05 20:00
Sosumiactually, proprietary should just go awayFeb 05 20:00
Sosumiso it'd be awesome both nvidia and amd got their act togetherFeb 05 20:01

MinceRso it might already be happeningFeb 05 20:03
Sosumijust contributingFeb 05 20:03
Sosumion some perfect worldFeb 05 20:04

Sosumivista 8.1 isn't hard to install at allFeb 05 21:04
Sosumiunless you do dual boot/efi bootFeb 05 21:05
MinceRmaybe gates is an idiotFeb 05 21:05
abeNd-orgw81 isnt all that bad really, faster on the same hardware than win7Feb 05 21:05
MinceRmaybe his pc was not supported properlyFeb 05 21:05
MinceRmaybe a combination of bothFeb 05 21:05
MinceRwell, i wrote an OS that crashes faster than any version of windowsFeb 05 21:05
MinceRso by that metric, it's better :>Feb 05 21:05
abeNd-orgi just installed win81 on an old pen tablet with 2gb ram, including windows updates it probably took less than 2 hours, & that was without really paying attention to itFeb 05 21:06
SosumiI had to reinstall a 8.1 after it broke just after 3 days on cad machine at my universityFeb 05 21:08
Sosumi*on a cadFeb 05 21:08
abeNd-orgive not had stability issues on my work laptop, & i beat the crap out of itFeb 05 21:08
Sosumithat for me was a record for a windows install blowing upFeb 05 21:08
Sosumibetter than that was a mac os 10.4 install breaking after installing everythingFeb 05 21:09
Sosumiand having to reinstall everything back againFeb 05 21:09
abeNd-orgim no ms lover, but ive got to admit 81 is more stable & better laid out than previous versionsFeb 05 21:13
SosumiwellFeb 05 21:13
Sosumimemory footprint of windows 8 isn't badFeb 05 21:13
Sosumicompared to osxFeb 05 21:13
Sosumiwhich consumes more ramFeb 05 21:14
abeNd-orgmind you i barely used the start menu in win7 evenFeb 05 21:14
Sosumiso how would you call programs up?Feb 05 21:14
Sosumipowershell?Feb 05 21:15
abeNd-orgi set the task bar to small icons & pin everything i use thereFeb 05 21:15
abeNd-orgor use cmdFeb 05 21:15
Sosumiif I did that I would end up with a very crowded task barFeb 05 21:15
abeNd-orgmine is as wellFeb 05 21:16
abeNd-orgbut most users wouldnt beFeb 05 21:16
SosumiI just think m$ should just copy kdeFeb 05 21:16
MinceRi think m$ should either close the shop or make a freebsd distro with a reskinned kde and wineFeb 05 21:17
Sosumiget rid of metro/modern which is just a fusion between osx's launchpad and dashboardFeb 05 21:17
MinceRwork with the wine developers to fix up supportFeb 05 21:17
MinceRyeah, get rid of metro and modernFeb 05 21:17
MinceR"modern"Feb 05 21:17
abeNd-orgMinceR: sure, when you get business apps running & supported on something other than windowsFeb 05 21:17
MinceRand ribbonFeb 05 21:17
Sosumiho yes, kill ribbonFeb 05 21:17
Sosumiribbon is now everywhereFeb 05 21:18
abeNd-orgsooo many of my customers have business specific programs that only run in windows, server & client sideFeb 05 21:18
Sosumiin autocadFeb 05 21:18
SosumimatlabFeb 05 21:18
Sosumiand so onFeb 05 21:18
MinceRthat's why i said "work with the wine developers to fix up support" :>Feb 05 21:18
abeNd-orgso there would be no way to get rid of windows in those clients even if they wanted toFeb 05 21:18
MinceR(also, declare winblows apis as deprecated and 'legacy')Feb 05 21:18
abeNd-orgwhat vendor actually supports running in wine?Feb 05 21:18
MinceRwho caresFeb 05 21:18
MinceRthey just do what m$ tells them toFeb 05 21:18
MinceRalways worked that wayFeb 05 21:18
abeNd-orgi do, the companies would care, the customers would careFeb 05 21:18
MinceRmaybe include an earlier, but stripped down winblows as a VM imageFeb 05 21:19
MinceRcall it backwards compatibilityFeb 05 21:19
Sosumimore bloat?Feb 05 21:19
Sosumia la windows xp modeFeb 05 21:19
MinceRyesFeb 05 21:19
Sosumilol noFeb 05 21:19
abeNd-orgwhat you ask wouldnt be supportable in the corporate worldFeb 05 21:19
Sosumieither close shop or get their asses rightFeb 05 21:20
MinceRno, it wouldn't be supportable in the m$ worldFeb 05 21:20
MinceRwhere everything revolves around their plans for world dominationFeb 05 21:20
abeNd-orgdo any of you work outside of .edu?Feb 05 21:20
MinceRi doFeb 05 21:20
MinceRalways didFeb 05 21:20
abeNd-orgfor more than a mom & pop shop?Feb 05 21:20
MinceRyupFeb 05 21:21
SosumiI'm just edu, everything I do is purely academicFeb 05 21:21
Sosumieven the evil thingsFeb 05 21:21
MinceRnowadays i'm seeing pretty up close how hard m$ fails at enterpriseFeb 05 21:21
abeNd-orgso you have every back end & client end system running opensource?Feb 05 21:21
MinceRunfortunately, noFeb 05 21:21
MinceRit isn't my decision, of courseFeb 05 21:21
abeNd-orgis every single business process able to be ported to opensource?Feb 05 21:21
MinceRi just develop for GNU/Linux/XFeb 05 21:21
MinceRnot sureFeb 05 21:21
abeNd-orgi highly doubt every single business process has an opensource product that would address those needs, as in fully replacing a windows based alternativeFeb 05 21:22
MinceRi guess we still have mainframe apps aroundFeb 05 21:22
MinceRcoded in cobolFeb 05 21:23
MinceRalso, i see plenty of textmode DOS apps in various placesFeb 05 21:23
abeNd-orgive got loads of cpa firms with products running off mssql, windows server/client, there is just nothing in that space that runs on anything other than windowsFeb 05 21:23
MinceRstill, the impact of winblows could be dramatically reducedFeb 05 21:23
MinceRthe licensing could be improved a lotFeb 05 21:23
MinceReven they could get better over timeFeb 05 21:24
MinceRlearn workable tools, choose platform with better judgement the next time a product has to be redesigned/rewrittenFeb 05 21:24
abeNd-orgVLK licensing isnt the greatest, but it is sure better than oem/retail, trying to keep track of that is a total messFeb 05 21:24
MinceRcould be freeware or even free softwareFeb 05 21:24
Sosumiso there are no gnu/linux equivalents of activesync, azure, lync and sharepoint?Feb 05 21:24
MinceRit would hardly offset the damage they've done so farFeb 05 21:25
MinceRbut it would be a startFeb 05 21:25
abeNd-orgso you want to replace quickbooks with gnucash?Feb 05 21:25
MinceRmaybeFeb 05 21:25
abeNd-orgnot even closeFeb 05 21:25
MinceRso you want to replace postgres with mssql?Feb 05 21:25
abeNd-orgconsidering none of the vendors even support postgres, no, they only support mssqlFeb 05 21:26
MinceRthere's still plenty of idiocy out thereFeb 05 21:26
abeNd-organd the customers they service that have quickbooks, you gonna convert them to gnucash too?Feb 05 21:26
MinceRi've seen a box run mssqlFeb 05 21:26
abeNd-orgnot going to happenFeb 05 21:26
MinceRit could eventually happenFeb 05 21:26
MinceRand there are many things they could do in the meantimeFeb 05 21:26
MinceRm$ is going to die eventually anywayFeb 05 21:27
MinceRthe industry is going to leave it behind and leave it for history anyway, unless humanity destroys itselfFeb 05 21:27
MinceRmight as well start early and do it with relatively little painFeb 05 21:28
abeNd-orgsome of these vendors did have osx or linux versions in the past & dropped them because they made up less than 1% of their customer baseFeb 05 21:28
abeNd-orgso why waste time coding for something that probably won't be used?Feb 05 21:28
abeNd-orgso they tried, & the market said noFeb 05 21:29
MinceRwhy waste time preparing to move on to platforms your competitors are eyeing?Feb 05 21:29
MinceRno ideaFeb 05 21:29
MinceRwho wants to compete anywayFeb 05 21:29
MinceRlet's just leave everything as it is and expect people to throw money at usFeb 05 21:30
MinceRalso, throw all your weight behind windows phone, it's a sure winner!Feb 05 21:30
MinceRwhat could possibly go wrong?Feb 05 21:30
MinceR</sarcasm>Feb 05 21:30
abeNd-orgyea, a lot of the cpa firms run the same type of software, but there is so much work that they arent eating each others customers anyways, so changing back end systems wouldnt give them much of anything, even *if* there was a non-windows versionFeb 05 21:30
abeNd-orgmincer why, the market has said no to windows phone?Feb 05 21:30
MinceRlook at the market share numbers, since you seem to think that's all that mattersFeb 05 21:31
MinceRand not all markets are so staticFeb 05 21:31
MinceRin places, even real innovation is being done :>Feb 05 21:32
abeNd-orgyea, blackberry is at 0% & windows phone is at best, what 4%?Feb 05 21:32
abeNd-orgobviously no one really cares for either platformFeb 05 21:32
MinceRindeed.Feb 05 21:32
MinceRm$ won't be here forever.Feb 05 21:32
MinceRwindows rt also failedFeb 05 21:32
MinceRwindows 8.x is being massively rejectedFeb 05 21:33
abeNd-orgbut in the enterprise market find me current true replacements to things like http://www.cchgroup.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product__10151_-1_10053_TEMP0186Feb 05 21:33
MinceR(even pc sales dropped because of it, iirc)Feb 05 21:33
TechrightsBot-trwww.cchgroup.com | CCH - ProSystem fx® Engagement  [ http://ur1.ca/gkkch ]Feb 05 21:33
MinceRi don't know what that isFeb 05 21:33
MinceRbut i doubt there's anything about it that would prevent any competitor from supporting another platformFeb 05 21:33

TechrightsBot-traccountants.intuit.com | Discover Lacerte Tax Software for Professionals at Intuit Accountants  [ http://ur1.ca/gkkct ]Feb 05 21:33
MinceRwell, the official tax software in hungary has a crossplatform java versionFeb 05 21:34
MinceR(not sure if there's any other version anymore)Feb 05 21:34
abeNd-orgthere is nothing out there opensource that could replace either of thoseFeb 05 21:34
MinceR(and yes, it isn't open source either)Feb 05 21:34
Sosumibut wait, hasn't the enterprise market just kind of finished migrating from xp to windows 7?Feb 05 21:34
MinceRbut it doesn't have to be open source to leave windows behindFeb 05 21:35
abeNd-orgSosumi: i am talking servers, not endpointsFeb 05 21:35
MinceRwindows on a server... what could possibly go wrong?Feb 05 21:35
Sosumia lot of thingsFeb 05 21:35
abeNd-orgplentyFeb 05 21:35
abeNd-orgbut when the customer's line of business application only runs on windows, what do you do?Feb 05 21:36
abeNd-orgthere is no alternative in the opensource world for itFeb 05 21:36
Sosumiconfine the windows server to the internal networkFeb 05 21:36
MinceRleave it as it is for now; port it elsewhere; make sure it runs on wine; run it on a windows vm; run it on a central windows vm and let the users use it as thin clientsFeb 05 21:37
MinceRdevelop a competing applicationFeb 05 21:37
MinceRthe possibilities are limitless :)Feb 05 21:37
abeNd-orgyea, these windows servers arent open to the public internet, you wouldnt do that with anything in the enterprise, but im not talking firewalls/airgapping/policies/etc, im talking alternatives. you guys act like every corporate server based app like cch's product line have a 100% feature rich opensource alternative... those don't exist..Feb 05 21:37
MinceRno, that's not what i'm sayingFeb 05 21:37
abeNd-orgvendors won't support running the product in wineFeb 05 21:38
MinceRwhat i'm saying that there's a way forward (1) for m$ that doesn't seem entirely incompatible with what they've been ding so farFeb 05 21:38
abeNd-orgthat just isnt realisticFeb 05 21:38
MinceRand (2) for the rest of the industry, beyond m$Feb 05 21:38
MinceRhow do you know vendors will never support it?Feb 05 21:38
MinceRit might be cheap enough to do so and might provide enough of an edge over a competitorFeb 05 21:38
MinceRespecially as clients start getting rid of their windows boxesFeb 05 21:39
abeNd-orgive actually checked with some, most laugh at it, or ask "what is that?"Feb 05 21:39
MinceR(for example because they're sick and tired of retraining their employees for vista, 8, and whatever else)Feb 05 21:39
abeNd-orgso no, wine is not realistic especially for an mssql back end Feb 05 21:39
MinceR(and sick and tired of paying exorbitant fees for windows upgrades and buying expensive hardware to support them)Feb 05 21:40
abeNd-orgi really dont see the training issues between win95-7, pretty much the same thingFeb 05 21:40
MinceRit doesn't seem impossible to migrate an application to support more sql backendsFeb 05 21:40
abeNd-orgwin31 & win8 (metro) are the only 2 that actually look differentFeb 05 21:40
MinceRespecially to a saner ingres forkFeb 05 21:40
MinceR(mssql is a fork of ingres)Feb 05 21:40
abeNd-org& with win81 you just boot to desktop via GPOFeb 05 21:40
MinceRactually, there's a lot more to it than thatFeb 05 21:40
MinceRa lot of functions were totally rearrangedFeb 05 21:41
abeNd-orgMinceR: none of them would entertain moving or supporting other databases eitherFeb 05 21:41
MinceRthe start button was taken out, put back inFeb 05 21:41
abeNd-org8 doesnt count, since everyone got a free update to 81Feb 05 21:41
MinceRthe start menu was replaced by fullscreen IE that is totally non-discoverableFeb 05 21:41
MinceRactually it does countFeb 05 21:41
MinceRfor a while it was _the_ thing to "upgrade" toFeb 05 21:41
MinceRand customers didn't like it too muchFeb 05 21:41
abeNd-orgright, so use win7 or 81, no one uses 8Feb 05 21:42
MinceRribbon is also spreading in winblowsFeb 05 21:42
MinceRand that also needs plenty of retrainingFeb 05 21:42
abeNd-orgi see my foxit pdf reader has ribbon, but you can turn it offFeb 05 21:42
MinceRbuilt-in winblows apps come with ribbonFeb 05 21:42
abeNd-orgnotepad has ribbon?Feb 05 21:43
MinceRexplorer, paint, maybe notepad and wordpadFeb 05 21:43
MinceRnot sure, i'm sure paint has it and explorer had something of the sortFeb 05 21:43
abeNd-orglol, no, notepad does not have ribbon.....Feb 05 21:43
MinceRIE has its own stupid thing goingFeb 05 21:43
MinceRwith even the menubar being in some random placeFeb 05 21:43
abeNd-orgall the browsers have their own wacky interface goingFeb 05 21:43
MinceRnopeFeb 05 21:43
MinceR(then again, if a business relies on IE, they deserve everything)Feb 05 21:43
abeNd-orgyea, ie/firefox/chrome on windows all have things placed differentlyFeb 05 21:43
MinceRah, the m$ sense of "nonstandard"Feb 05 21:44
MinceRas in, different from m$'s wayFeb 05 21:44
MinceRdoesn't matter if they're consistent with each other, they aren't consistent with us!Feb 05 21:44
abeNd-orgeven firefox on windows vs linux, preferences option is in a different spotFeb 05 21:44
MinceRdidn't even notice thatFeb 05 21:45
MinceRthen again, i've turned off the standard menubar and use the menu buttonFeb 05 21:45
abeNd-orgedit/preferences in linux, tools/options in windowsFeb 05 21:45
abeNd-orgso go bitch at firefox for having their own program all jacked up on different platforms :PFeb 05 21:46
MinceRyeah, a menu item being different is totally comparable with menu vs. ribbon and randomizing where the menubar isFeb 05 21:46
MinceRalso, putting randomized buttons with randomized appearance all over the placeFeb 05 21:47
abeNd-orgi dont really find myself using the ribbon in most apps anyways, shortcut keysFeb 05 21:47
MinceRi think you'll find that most users retraining applies to won't use those often :>Feb 05 21:47
abeNd-orgthat is still end user stuff, im trying to get out of you viable server side alternativesFeb 05 21:49
MinceRthat seems easierFeb 05 21:49
MinceRthere's plenty of advantages to be had from migrating to a real server OSFeb 05 21:50
MinceRincluding cost savingsFeb 05 21:50
MinceRseems like an obvious way to gain an advantage over competitorsFeb 05 21:50
*freedomrun has quit (Quit: So long and thanks for all the fish)Feb 05 21:51
MinceRespecially if they're wasting expensive hardware on something like mssqlFeb 05 21:51
MinceRagain, an obvious thing to look for when redesigining/reimplementing a productFeb 05 21:51
abeNd-orgusually running virtualized, under vmware esxi essentials plus (or enterprise depending on the client) & a sanFeb 05 21:51
MinceRwow, the most horrible virtualizer they could possibly findFeb 05 21:52
MinceRvmware couldn't be arsed to provide a console client that would run on 32bit winblows xp, let alone gnu/linuxFeb 05 21:52
abeNd-orgso my guess is you think xen is better than esxi55 or hyperv2012r2core?Feb 05 21:52
MinceRpretty sureFeb 05 21:52
abeNd-orguhm, the vcenter webclient in 5.5 i am sure is pretty much fully cross platformFeb 05 21:53
MinceRbut i guess if they're trying to hurt themselves as much as possible, then all m$ is the way to go, with a little vmware on the topFeb 05 21:53
abeNd-orgthey are doing away with the old windows based clientFeb 05 21:53
MinceRi'm pretty sure the version i used didn't have a webclientFeb 05 21:53
MinceRmaybe the admins could have installed one but afaik they didn'tFeb 05 21:53
MinceRagain, a pretty insane way to build softwareFeb 05 21:54
MinceR'oh, and by the way, if you want to use it at all, you'll also run this piece of crap on a webserver. have fun!'Feb 05 21:54
MinceRi guess the next step will be restricting the web client to ieFeb 05 21:54
abeNd-orgin the 5 yrs of using vmware esx/esxi ive only had one instance of a "PSOD", & that was quickly fixed, so that is pretty darn stableFeb 05 21:54
MinceRso you get to run a machine to run the web client and a vm to run ie on to access the vm you're trying to useFeb 05 21:55
MinceRyo dawg, i heard you liked virtual machinesFeb 05 21:55
abeNd-orgvcenter server appliance is linux basedFeb 05 21:55
MinceRwell, at least there's thatFeb 05 21:55
MinceRmeanwhile everyone else has supported things like vnc for agesFeb 05 21:55
abeNd-org& that is what hosts the webclient, they arent restricting it to IE onlyFeb 05 21:55
MinceRwell, i guess not hype-v, but who cares about thatFeb 05 21:55
MinceR...yetFeb 05 21:55
MinceRi've seen plenty of ie-only "web"apps alreadyFeb 05 21:56
abeNd-orgive been running it in chromeFeb 05 21:56
abeNd-orgwithout issue, so pretty sure it isnt limited to IE, so nothing to worry about thereFeb 05 21:56
MinceRthere's plenty to worry about, considering their pastFeb 05 21:56
abeNd-orgpretty sure vmware is leaning to be as platform agnostic as it can be since ms has their pure-ms hypervFeb 05 21:57
abeNd-orgnone of my clients are running xen, even citrix's variety Feb 05 21:58
MinceRwell, i hope vmware will manage to be more platform agnostic in the futureFeb 05 22:00
abeNd-orgby going with the webconsole for vcenter they areFeb 05 22:00
abeNd-orgif you try using the win32 app with 5.5 it pretty much says at the login screen to use the webclient, that the win32 app will not receive any feature updates & all that goes into the webclientFeb 05 22:01
abeNd-orgso yea, the windows only management is pretty much deadFeb 05 22:01
MinceRi hope they'll install the webclient where i work, thenFeb 05 22:01
abeNd-orgare you running esxi free, or at least essentials?Feb 05 22:01
MinceRdoes vmware charge extra for the webclient?Feb 05 22:01
MinceRi think they're running some sort of esxiFeb 05 22:01
abeNd-org& if essentials, do you have a vcenter server (either be it the linux appliance or installed on windows)?Feb 05 22:02
MinceRbut i'm not sure, vmware is throwing product names around like they're charging per word or somethingFeb 05 22:02
MinceRthere's also something they call vSphereFeb 05 22:02
abeNd-orgnot really but *shrug* (outside of the sales side of things)Feb 05 22:02
abeNd-orgyea, if you know your vsphere server dns/ip, try the following - Feb 05 22:02
abeNd-orghttps://vcenter:5480 - that will only show up if they are running the linux applianceFeb 05 22:03
TechrightsBot-trCouldn't resolve host 'vcenter' ( status 0 @ https://vcenter:5480 )Feb 05 22:03

TechrightsBot-trCouldn't resolve host 'vcenter' ( status 0 @ https://vcenter/vsphere-client )Feb 05 22:04
abeNd-orgif they are running vcenter 5.1 or 5.5 that should be availableFeb 05 22:05
abeNd-orgi know i use it for my vmware installsFeb 05 22:05
SosumiI see you both have experience in the corporate world...Feb 05 22:11
MinceRif vmware spent the money they spent on making up product names on development instead, they'd probably have better products and more easily understood product names :>Feb 05 22:12
abeNd-orgSosumi: close enough, IT consultant, from mom & pop shops to large collegesFeb 05 22:14

schestowitzAn excellent study of disk drives was published by Google in 2007. It's a bit dated now but some of the observations are still interesting.Feb 06 00:45
schestowitz    ...SMART parameters alone are unlikely to be useful for predicting individual drive failures. Surprisingly, we found that temperature and activity levels were much less correlated with drive failures than previously reported.Feb 06 00:45
schestowitz    Failure rates are known to be highly correlated with drive models, manufacturers and vintages [18]. Our results do not contradict this fact. For example, Figure 2 changes significantly when we normalize failure rates perdrive model. Most age-related results are impacteddrive vintages. However, in this paper, we do not showbreakdown of drives per manufacturer, model, or vintage due to the proprietary nature of these data.Feb 06 00:45
schestowitz    Interestingly, this does not change our conclusions.contrast to age-related results, we note that all results shown in the rest of the paper are not affected significantly by the population mix. None of our SMARTresults change significantly when normalized by drive model. The only exception is seek error rate, which dependent on one specific drive manufacturer, as we discuss in section 3.5.5. ... it as a rate, and it is meant to beFeb 06 00:45
schestowitzused in combination with model-specific thresholds. When examining our population, we find that seek errors are widespread within drives of one manufacturer only, while others are more conservative in showing this kind of errors. For this one manufacturer, the trend in seek errors is not clear, changing from one vintage to another. For other manufacturers, there is no correlation between failure rates and seek errors.Feb 06 00:45
schestowitz    [Other Work]...[Seagate] rates from 1.2% in the first year to 0.39% in the third (and last year of record). In our study, we did not find much correlation between failure rate and either elevated temperature or utilization. It is the most surprising result of our study. Our annualized failure rates were generally higher than those reported by vendors, and more consistent with other user experience studies.Feb 06 00:45

schestowitzVista 7 has tried to imitate the last generation of gnu/linux DE. It almost looks like a crippled version of KDE 3.5.Feb 06 00:47
schestowitzThe issue is not so much what gnu/linux desktops look like but that they can look like anything you want. The Windows 95 layout is clumsy and painful but the point is that people who use their computer that way can have what they want.Feb 06 00:47
schestowitzI explain what I think of DE's in this write up that praises E16 and in this index of use. Computers became too powerful for awkward tabbed interfaces like Microsoft's taskbar way back in the 1990s. E16's clear distinction between virtual desktops and virtual screens solved that problem elegantly. Programs can be arranged by task on different virtual desktops and left running. The kernel puts unused programs in cache, so there's not Feb 06 00:47

DaemonFCThe governor can veto it, but they can override him by scheduling a new vote and getting a simple majority, which is how they passed it the first time.Feb 06 07:22

schestowitzLooking at the Backblaze article, I see they give every kind of drive they buy a shakedown run. If lots of drives fail in a limited purchase pod, they try another model. Despite this, they get lemons.Feb 06 07:31
schestowitzThe drives that just don’t work in our environment are Western Digital Green 3TB drives and Seagate LP (low power) 2TB drives.

schestowitzThe age of drives does not seem to spare Seagate from the conclusions you might draw from the graph. They carefully report results for many models so you can judge for yourself. Backblaze buys them because they are cheap and work well enough in RAIDs.Feb 06 07:31

DaemonFC"I don't like Amazon Instant Video. I'd have to go install Firefox for Windows in Wine and get some Windows versions of plugins for it, and then you still have to stream it. Amazon and the publishers aren't really giving you the files. They're giving you the permission to stream it from their servers. I hope your internet access isn't metered and that Amazon exists forever, for your sake, if you're making such foolish "investments"."Feb 07 01:53

DaemonFCThey say that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The Republicans in Congress have ignored the economy and jobs to schedule hundreds of votes to try to repeal your health insurance.

DaemonFCI replied:  In other words, when YOUR taxes and fees go up, you know who to thank. Many companies pay less than nothing. A Walmart store not only pays no net taxes, they actually cost taxpayers $900,000 apiece. How many more giveaways to highly profitable corporations must Indiana and Federal taxpayers absorb, Governor Pence?Feb 08 03:33
DaemonFCI've been mounting an all out assault on Governor Pence's Facebook account.Feb 08 03:34

DaemonFCThere was a scandal a while back that made all the newspapers and the evening news channels.Feb 08 03:35
DaemonFCGovernor Pence's staff was deleting comments that were negative responses to his posts and policies. They got caught and called out.Feb 08 03:36
DaemonFCAs far as I can tell, they're not removing anything now, because they don't want to be back in the news for censorship.Feb 08 03:36
DaemonFCSo, there's a group of people, including me, that do not like our governor and have set out to turn his Facebook wall into a liability instead of an asset.Feb 08 03:37
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 08 04:09
DaemonFCI try to minimize my sales taxes by buying high quality goods to begin with so that I don't have to keep buying things over and over again, and ultimately paying more for the items and the sales tax.Feb 08 04:09
DaemonFCFor example, a pair of American-made New Balance shoes that I wear every day is now three years old and I think I can get 2-3 more years out of them. They still look nearly new. They cost me $120. A $20 pair of Walmart shoes needs to be replaced about three or four times every year.Feb 08 04:09
DaemonFCOver time, you pay more when you buy inferior goods.Feb 08 04:09
DaemonFCI'll still shop Amazon even though they make you pay sales tax now. What's the other choice? Junk from Walmart? Feb 08 04:09
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 08 04:21
DaemonFCNot only did Occupy Wall Street fail to find its voice and get violently broken up by the corporations and their police, but the movement was even counterproductive in some ways.Feb 08 04:21
DaemonFCSome of the people that decided to camp out started ****ing, and had kids. How awful. Now they not only have no job or a $7-8 Walmart-style job, they have kids to take care of too. Worst possible situation that they could be in.Feb 08 04:21
DaemonFCNow's not the time to be having kids. The benefits are getting less and less generous, and work doesn't pay the bills even if you don't have them. Feb 08 04:21
DaemonFC J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says:Feb 08 04:21
DaemonFCMy cousin works at McDonalds and her boyfriend works in the deli at Walmart, and she announced on her Facebook that she's pregnant and excited about it.Feb 08 04:21
DaemonFCHow are you supposed to congratulate that? I ended up saying nothing because if I said anything honest, it would have to be "Oh my, I am so sorry...".Feb 08 04:21
DaemonFCThey'll find out. I feel bad for them. Thankfully, Obamacare exists now so they can get affordable insurance at least. Feb 08 04:21

Sosumibut that is no longer the default viewer for kde 4Feb 08 22:10
cubezzzright, but I don't bother with KDE 4Feb 08 22:11
cubezzzthere's a big schism thereFeb 08 22:11
cubezzzthe first schism was the transition from KDE 1 to KDE 2Feb 08 22:11
cubezzzso I figured out a way to run all the stuff I wanted on KDE 3.5.10Feb 08 22:12
Sosuminever used those versions of kdeFeb 08 22:12
cubezzzI could even port some KDE 4 applications over to KDE 3.5.10Feb 08 22:12
Sosumiother than version 4Feb 08 22:12
cubezzzwell, things got a bit overly voluminous after 3.5Feb 08 22:13

cubezzzoh there was only the one program actuallyFeb 08 22:35
cubezzzkrubik :)Feb 08 22:35
cubezzzmost of the advances in GUIs have been cosmeticFeb 08 22:36
cubezzzstuff keeps getting orphaned so I went to a lot of trouble archiving source code for older KDEFeb 08 22:39
cubezzzand KDE itself is a result of the baroque programming style of XFeb 08 22:45
cubezzzthe trouble is that KDE pretty bloatedFeb 08 22:45
cubezzzKDE isFeb 08 22:45
cubezzzrunning plain ol' mwm is noticeably fasterFeb 08 22:48
