schestowitzThat article was written by an angry person, and is full of weak persuasive arguments. Guilt by association, Glittering generalities, character assassination (ad hominem attacks), factually untrue statements. It's really a poor piece of writing, and that is a pity. Because I really do enjoy a good well thought out article on Microsoft bashing.Oct 04 05:57
schestowitzThis article suggests that Microsoft's supposed love of Linux is not true, which is interesting because right now every one is wondering if it's a marketing facade. However, their evidence to support this suggestion is based on some other company engaging in litigation on their patents. Apparently a known patent troll with previous dealings with Microsoft. They then go on to bash on a Linux blogger who had the nerve to express optimism Oct 04 05:57
schestowitzabout Microsoft's supposed new found love. Meh... it's all very weak, and fully of hate. Not Oct 04 05:57

schestowitz"Oct 04 07:27
schestowitzThanks Roy. This is part of the split (fork) I foresee. Debian was always reluctant, understandably, to conform to RH dominated standards - eg no rpms (even SLW has them - not used tho).Oct 04 07:27
schestowitzThrough my whole life, I always pushed for standards and documentation. Esp. standards because of HW lock-in.Oct 04 07:27
schestowitzBut, as with so many things, I see how power (hegemony) can still abuse such things. The future of GNU and FLOSS is freedom - our freedom, of course, not of the powerful.Oct 04 07:27
schestowitzDebian needs its freedom - it is the only major distro with a philosophical vision doing exciting things - eg (many more) HURD/BSD and its fork Devuan - typical of the people who use Debian - fighting to keep GNU free and open. Giving us choice.Oct 04 07:27

schestowitzI'm wondering whether the word "Blairite" shouldn't be replaced by the word "Thatcherite". They seem, certainly, to have shared on essential principle with her - a total disregard for consensus - not to be confused with marketing and focus groups.Oct 04 07:40
schestowitzPeople like Ken Livingstone were excluded from selection, even though Londoners wanted him, and not their "puppet' candidate. With Corbyn they are showing the same disregard for conensus. The Thatcherites are the Entryists, copied the Trotskite (MI5) Entryists - but the Thatcherites are the cuckoos in the nest though: trying to push out the others.Oct 04 07:40

r_schestowitz"It seems like we’re seeing a split between general purpose computing and appliances. Android, despite being built on the Linux kernel and having a handful of bits from the *nix userspace - is not “Linux” in the usual sense of the word - it isn’t Unix.

r_schestowitzI thought of it as a setback (for the progress of computing in general), until I realized that these limited appliances with their “apps” basically serve the same purpose that a computer would have for a large portion of the population.

Microsoft is going to lose a lot more desktop users to this exodus from Oct 05 08:48
r_schestowitzthe computer to the pocket gizmo - because a large portion of their userbase would be just as well served by a tablet with a few “apps” installed.

schestowitzThat reads like bitcoin-bullshit-bingo to me… whats worse is that i was not able to understand what that brick on top does. i would think its an asic miner but im not quite sure because the sentence which suggests its an asic miner: “and integrates a “21 mining chip” that lets you buy Bitcoin goods” at the end sounds like its not an asic miner at all…Oct 08 19:07

schestowitzIn a world without Unix…Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzWe would probably be using DECNET and the Internet, but I think that VMS and AS/400 would have been a lot more prominent now because companies would have spent more resources working on those platforms than UNIX.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzThe reason we got Unix widely spread was because AT&T developed it and distributed it as much as it could to colleges, but in a world without UNIX, VMS and IBM Series 1-AS/400 were king in college and it could have been the model to follow.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzI can see that eventually an free open source operating system would have been created, but the commands that would be used might have looked a lot more than VMS commands than what we are used to in Unix. If we take MUSIC as a sample, MUSIC was developed by Mc Gill and follows the style of mainframe interface.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzThe scenario in which UNIX did not existed it could have happened if Kernighan and Ritchie were moved to different projects in AT&T, or shut down by management, C could have been developed in AS/400 or VMS. With luck, we could have been using Plan 9, if later on AT&T decided to invest into development an Operating System. A shame, I liked working with the 3B15/3B2.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzGNU would have been created, and I can see many of the familiar tools available, like emacs or fetchmail, but these were originally developed in UNIX, without UNIX, VMS would have been the second choice and then “ported” to the “Open Source that could have looked like VMS OS and probably based on an amoeba like OS”.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzAnother alternative would have been a larger prominence of Amiga OS being that it would have filled the niche for the hobbyists. So, open source tools would have been ported from VMS to Amiga OS, similar to what was done, but it is possible that Commodore would have been around in the 21st century and used the same way many users use their Linux systems today.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzThe corporate world would have been to Microsoft, IBM, DEC/Oracle/HP and Apple. Sun might have not existed, hence Java would have not been made, we would have seen C# taking the role of it in the “modern era”, that if C were developed in VMS by K&R. If not, then Microsoft would have developed Pascal#.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzCompanies like Google and Yahoo might not be what they are today, it would have been hard to build their technology without a free OS, hence the VMS look alike would have fill the niche.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzThis is all speculation, of course, others scenarios might have played out. But one thing for sure, we cannot deny the impact that UNIX has done in computing… A world without Linux would not have been as impacting as they claim to be. Linux grew from the frustration of Andy’s control on Minix. If Linus would not have done it, then Hurd or *BSD would have filled the niche, but UNIX provided the footprint on how these OS look like. Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzWithout UNIX, it would look like VMS or CPM.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitz"Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzUNIX/POSIX becoming a standard was probably inevitable, just swap component names and some architectural choices... like Minix. Standard small modular components is best for a system to evolve and survive.Oct 08 21:08

schestowitzI don’t think there’s anything more nefarious there than someone advertising that their linux app works on Fedora and Ubuntu. I mean, SteamOS is the distro they can use as a stable base to test against, while Tux tends to represent pretty much every Linux distro. I would assume the SteamOS icon means it’s been specifically tested to work there, while the Tux icon would mean it should work on most popular current distro’s.Oct 09 18:02

schestowitzIf someone is building a bomb, one can arrest them for building a bomb, not for intending to blow up x, y or z - because the one thing they were doing, but the other thing they hadn't done.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitz"Thought crimes" are forbidden thoughts - something absurd to forbid, since we cannot stop thoughts coming into our head - especially when they have been "suggested" by a law. We can't reject a thought without having it and considering it.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitzMore absurd is to convict someone for something they haven't done, even though the law claims it is convicting the person person for "planning". Kids discussing how they could blow up a certain building, reading books describing bomb-building, extremist ideas.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitzWhen I was a teenager, we built a pipe bomb. We weren't terrorists! We let it off in the woods - and it taught me never to be so silly again because we were only thinking of the bang - and not the schrapnel - a piece ripped through my shirt sleeve - it could have been my arm. The people who make these laws are moving into the area of locking up the innocent (supposedly in order to be sure to catch 100pc of the guilty) - but in reality, asOct 10 22:24
schestowitzyou say elsewhere, to intimidate us. We are supposed to act under the assumption that we are guilty until proven innocent, and thus act in a way not only so as to not break the law, but also in a way that doesn't put us in the position of being suspected of going to break the law.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitzThat wasn't the way I was brought up - in an era when the memory of fascism was a living memory.Oct 10 22:24

schestowitzAt the moment, thought alone is not a crime, but discussing it with a friend or family and making a "plan" (whatever that is) can be treated as a crime.

schestowitzThe news is that the U.S. denies that is was ever involved in evil pans against Morales. That is the topic of this post. So ask the right question - why is the US denying it now?Oct 08 20:20
schestowitzBecause the Bolivian Government is now carrying out an investigation into the matter.Oct 08 20:20
schestowitzAnd why is it carrying out an investigation now - why didn’t it do it earleir? Probably because it didn’t need to (politically) but now it does.Oct 08 20:20

schestowitz"Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzIn a world without Unix…Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzWe would probably be using DECNET and the Internet, but I think that VMS and AS/400 would have been a lot more prominent now because companies would have spent more resources working on those platforms than UNIX.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzThe reason we got Unix widely spread was because AT&T developed it and distributed it as much as it could to colleges, but in a world without UNIX, VMS and IBM Series 1-AS/400 were king in college and it could have been the model to follow.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzI can see that eventually an free open source operating system would have been created, but the commands that would be used might have looked a lot more than VMS commands than what we are used to in Unix. If we take MUSIC as a sample, MUSIC was developed by Mc Gill and follows the style of mainframe interface.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzThe scenario in which UNIX did not existed it could have happened if Kernighan and Ritchie were moved to different projects in AT&T, or shut down by management, C could have been developed in AS/400 or VMS. With luck, we could have been using Plan 9, if later on AT&T decided to invest into development an Operating System. A shame, I liked working with the 3B15/3B2.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzGNU would have been created, and I can see many of the familiar tools available, like emacs or fetchmail, but these were originally developed in UNIX, without UNIX, VMS would have been the second choice and then “ported” to the “Open Source that could have looked like VMS OS and probably based on an amoeba like OS”.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzAnother alternative would have been a larger prominence of Amiga OS being that it would have filled the niche for the hobbyists. So, open source tools would have been ported from VMS to Amiga OS, similar to what was done, but it is possible that Commodore would have been around in the 21st century and used the same way many users use their Linux systems today.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzThe corporate world would have been to Microsoft, IBM, DEC/Oracle/HP and Apple. Sun might have not existed, hence Java would have not been made, we would have seen C# taking the role of it in the “modern era”, that if C were developed in VMS by K&R. If not, then Microsoft would have developed Pascal#.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzCompanies like Google and Yahoo might not be what they are today, it would have been hard to build their technology without a free OS, hence the VMS look alike would have fill the niche.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzThis is all speculation, of course, others scenarios might have played out. But one thing for sure, we cannot deny the impact that UNIX has done in computing… A world without Linux would not have been as impacting as they claim to be. Linux grew from the frustration of Andy’s control on Minix. If Linus would not have done it, then Hurd or *BSD would have filled the niche, but UNIX provided the footprint on how these OS look like. Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzWithout UNIX, it would look like VMS or CPM.Oct 08 21:07
schestowitz"Oct 08 21:07
schestowitzUNIX/POSIX becoming a standard was probably inevitable, just swap component names and some architectural choices... like Minix. Standard small modular components is best for a system to evolve and survive.Oct 08 21:08

I mean, SteamOS is the distro they can use as a stable base to test against, while Tux tends to represent pretty much every Linux distro. I would assume the SteamOS icon means it’s been specifically tested to work there, while the Tux icon would mean it should work on most popular current distro’s.Oct 09 18:02

schestowitzThe point is that not only one cant predict a crime (as in minority opinion), but that it is unethical.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitzIf someone is building a bomb, one can arrest them for building a bomb, not for intending to blow up x, y or z - because the one thing they were doing, but the other thing they hadn't done.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitz"Thought crimes" are forbidden thoughts - something absurd to forbid, since we cannot stop thoughts coming into our head - especially when they have been "suggested" by a law. We can't reject a thought without having it and considering it.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitzMore absurd is to convict someone for something they haven't done, even though the law claims it is convicting the person person for "planning". Kids discussing how they could blow up a certain building, reading books describing bomb-building, extremist ideas.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitzWhen I was a teenager, we built a pipe bomb. We weren't terrorists! We let it off in the woods - and it taught me never to be so silly again because we were only thinking of the bang - and not the schrapnel - a piece ripped through my shirt sleeve - it could have been my arm. The people who make these laws are moving into the area of locking up the innocent (supposedly in order to be sure to catch 100pc of the guilty) - but in reality, asOct 10 22:24
schestowitzyou say elsewhere, to intimidate us. We are supposed to act under the assumption that we are guilty until proven innocent, and thus act in a way not only so as to not break the law, but also in a way that doesn't put us in the position of being suspected of going to break the law.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitzThat wasn't the way I was brought up - in an era when the memory of fascism was a living memory.Oct 10 22:24
schestowitzAs you say - these laws dont stop criminal acts - they were never intended to - they have simply created "paper" crimes - the crime of being suspicious - but suspicion is in the eye of the beholder.Oct 10 22:24

schestowitzAt the moment, thought alone is not a crime, but discussing it with a friend or family and making a "plan" (whatever that is) can be treated as a crime. It's not popular to call drones Brits "planning to bomb the Queen", probably because some time somewhere they said it would be "cool" or something like that... not actually making any preparations. The media knows how to play with that...Oct 10 22:25
