|---|

| wispy | 4chan is scary! | Dec 06 21:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So in 2007 I cut down on participation a bit | Dec 06 21:47 |
|---|

| wispy | lol | Dec 06 21:52 |
|---|
| kevin832 | hey guys, i was just reading the articles on your site that say Microsoft wants to promote interoperability | Dec 06 21:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | taxoperability we call it. :-) | Dec 06 21:52 |
|---|
| kevin832 | why do they not add support for ext3 and the like on Windows? | Dec 06 21:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I haven't used that weasel word in a while. | Dec 06 21:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Windows is a brick | Dec 06 21:52 |
|---|
| kevin832 | or out of the box ogg support | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It can't even do WinFS | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They tried. | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They 'garbaged' Longhorn | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's a mess | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No modularity at all | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Now they have a patent on modularity *sough prior art cough* | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So they intended to do something about it. | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But they didn't get around to it, not even in Vista 7 | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Ogg? | Dec 06 21:53 |
|---|
| kevin832 | i remember reading about the "one click ordering being patented by a certain company too... man that's crazy | Dec 06 21:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No way. It's too Free. They want proprietary WMV/A+Silverlight+DRM | Dec 06 21:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Gotta go the WPF route... to make thing Windows-only | Dec 06 21:54 |

|---|
| wispy | over the head | Dec 06 22:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Over the head? That's crazy. | Dec 06 22:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Nobody does that except hardcore posers. | Dec 06 22:09 |
|---|
| wispy | i dont know much about weights, sorry haha | Dec 06 22:11 |
|---|
| wispy | so what can you do? | Dec 06 22:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's not much about arms | Dec 06 22:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They use the legs and backs a lot | Dec 06 22:11 |
|---|
| wispy | you did mention that you bench press | Dec 06 22:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Then they duck below the bar and use the legs again. | Dec 06 22:11 |
|---|
| wispy | ah i see | Dec 06 22:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | benchpress I can do about 165KG+bar | Dec 06 22:12 |
|---|
| wispy | wow!! | Dec 06 22:12 |
|---|
| wispy | i weigh much less than that XD | Dec 06 22:12 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That was 2 years ago. I haven't checked since then, but I'm heavier now. | Dec 06 22:12 |
|---|
| wispy | you can probably pick me up easily lol | Dec 06 22:12 |
|---|
| wispy | oh ok roy | Dec 06 22:13 |
|---|

|---|
| wispy | lol sry | Dec 06 22:13 |
|---|
| trmanco | finally | Dec 06 22:20 |
|---|
| trmanco | schestowitz, emacs has that boxquote thing like knode has :D | Dec 06 22:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You could share that bit of code. | Dec 06 22:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's slow in Knode. It's done inefficiently. | Dec 06 22:21 |
|---|
| trmanco | it is superfast in emacs | Dec 06 22:21 |
|---|
| *schestowitz feels like everyone turns to uber-guru of emacs | Dec 06 22:22 |
| trmanco | you just have to like keyboard shortcuts | Dec 06 22:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I guess I'll stick to stupid people's Goooooey | Dec 06 22:22 |
|---|
| kevin832 | nano is good for newbies like me | Dec 06 22:22 |
|---|
| wispy | awww roy | Dec 06 22:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Knode has keyboard accelerators too... need to memorise them. I hardly use the widgets | Dec 06 22:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I use the GUI to point at items mostly.. like cursoring... but the ncurses UIs have that too... even slrn | Dec 06 22:23 |
|---|
| kevin832 | i'm running irssi in a gnome-terminal right now instead of an x client | Dec 06 22:24 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's portable | Dec 06 22:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You could SSH to it from a phone | Dec 06 22:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No x-forwarding | Dec 06 22:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Universal and without fixed sizes. Linus still uses pine. | Dec 06 22:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Oh, wait... what is "Alpine 1.10 (LFD 962 2008-03-14)"? | Dec 06 22:27 |
|---|
| trmanco | alpine | Dec 06 22:27 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Oh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_(e-mail_client | Dec 06 22:27 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Pine indeed | Dec 06 22:27 |

| GoblinRFD | Hi all. Seen the news about Dell allegedly dropping Google in favour of Mslies? | Dec 06 22:33 |
|---|
| wispy | nope i haven't | Dec 06 22:34 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | http://openbytes.wordpress.com/ | Dec 06 22:34 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | yeah!!! My first advert! | Dec 06 22:34 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | just a little bit of news I picked up and covered on my little blog. | Dec 06 22:35 |
|---|
| wispy | thanks goblin | Dec 06 22:35 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | ;) | Dec 06 22:35 |
|---|
| wispy | this sucks | Dec 06 22:35 |
|---|
| wispy | google > MS | Dec 06 22:36 |
|---|
| kevin832 | they can use the OEM muscle to get people to use their products :( | Dec 06 22:36 |
|---|
| wispy | well i hope netbooks will change that | Dec 06 22:36 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | mmm yeah but then, if MS needs to act like a parasite just to get into peoples homes, then it just highlights how desperate they are. | Dec 06 22:36 |
|---|
| wispy | why pay more to have ms netbooks when a oem can sell linux netbooks? | Dec 06 22:36 |
|---|
| wispy | if netbooks have bigger storage space, i bet you people will buy them in large droves | Dec 06 22:37 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | Dell were probably one of the first large firms to advertise Linux on their systems in the press over in here in the UK. | Dec 06 22:37 |
|---|
| kevin832 | i read somewhere that due to contractual ogligations, companies were limiting the hardware in netbooks. that's not right | Dec 06 22:37 |
|---|
| wispy | cool goblin | Dec 06 22:38 |
|---|
| wispy | i saw an advert for the inspiron mini 12 that had ubuntu | Dec 06 22:38 |
|---|
| wispy | kevin, that's too bad | Dec 06 22:38 |
|---|
| kevin832 | i see them a lot on distrowatch | Dec 06 22:38 |
|---|
| wispy | i want the best hardware, and no contract will get in my way | Dec 06 22:38 |
|---|
| kevin832 | eeePC900 for around 300 bucks is tempting | Dec 06 22:38 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | Ive noticed that there are alot of small firms springing up offering really good value Linux machines aswell. | Dec 06 22:39 |
|---|
| schestowitz | 'Twas the same with H-P | Dec 06 22:39 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Even Sun sold out. Microsoft is dumping $$$ so that it can spy on more people | Dec 06 22:39 |
|---|
| wispy | roy, you getting in the christmas mood? | Dec 06 22:39 |
|---|
| wispy | 'twas.. XD | Dec 06 22:39 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It also uses this to spread the disease (Silver Lie) | Dec 06 22:39 |
|---|
| kevin832 | my favorite tactic by microsoft was "playsforsure" for obvious reasons | Dec 06 22:40 |
|---|
| schestowitz | kevin832: yes, Microsoft limits hardware specs | Dec 06 22:40 |
|---|
| kevin832 | the name is great | Dec 06 22:40 |
|---|
| wispy | lol | Dec 06 22:40 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They changed that later because it bit them (more people chose the better-specced Linux sub-notebooks) | Dec 06 22:40 |
|---|
| kapipi | Many people I know cling to IE & MS live even though I have showed them the alternatives. | Dec 06 22:40 |
|---|
| schestowitz | wispy: no, not Xmas slang | Dec 06 22:41 |
|---|
| wispy | jk :D | Dec 06 22:41 |
|---|
| schestowitz | For me it's xmas every day, I guess. I do it all the time. | Dec 06 22:41 |
|---|
| kevin832 | i confess to using IE on windows because i was/am too lazy, but after using the plugins in firefox i'll switch next time i spend a lot of time in windows | Dec 06 22:41 |
|---|
| wispy | you are such a jolly person roy | Dec 06 22:41 |

|---|
| schestowitz | They'll go on fire with those Sony batts | Dec 06 22:42 |
|---|
| wispy | they are so small that they might fit ha | Dec 06 22:42 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | no, its an angel holding a wand with a star on it. | Dec 06 22:42 |
|---|
| kevin832 | i saw a youtube video of one of those batteries exploding... it was nice | Dec 06 22:43 |
|---|
| wispy | that's cute | Dec 06 22:43 |
|---|
| wispy | lol | Dec 06 22:43 |
|---|
| schestowitz | kevin832: it was also Vista Capable(R) | Dec 06 22:43 |
|---|
| wispy | i saw a videos where they microwaved a furby | Dec 06 22:43 |
|---|
| wispy | video* | Dec 06 22:43 |
|---|
| kevin832 | they actually explode multiple times because of the multiple cells in the battery | Dec 06 22:43 |
|---|
| kentma | hahah! that's terrible... | Dec 06 22:44 |
|---|
| wispy | it's like a fireworks extravaganza | Dec 06 22:44 |
|---|
| wispy | http://www.youtube.com/watc... | Dec 06 22:45 |
|---|
| wispy | oops wrong link | Dec 06 22:55 |

|---|
| GoblinRFD | ah, thats better! | Dec 06 22:56 |
|---|
| kevin832 | lol... there was another one where people filled a monitor with firecrackers and it literally and completely melted down | Dec 06 22:56 |
|---|
| wispy | i hope they had a fire extinguisher nearby lol | Dec 06 22:56 |

| trmanco | -hrr- `-O | Dec 06 22:58 |
|---|
| wispy | lmao kevin | Dec 06 22:59 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | Ubuntu. Im happy with 8.10, although that more because its family friendly and the wife is able to use it. | Dec 06 22:59 |
|---|
| kevin832 | they even show it from two angles | Dec 06 22:59 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | I think 9.04 will be something special...if they can stop it being infested with MS "supported" junk | Dec 06 23:00 |
|---|
| trmanco | schestowitz, remember that one lined ascii art? | Dec 06 23:00 |
|---|
| trmanco | where can I get some? | Dec 06 23:00 |
|---|
| wispy | thats great kev | Dec 06 23:00 |
|---|
| wispy | ubuntu is good, i started out with 7.10 | Dec 06 23:00 |
|---|
| wispy | i was a college freshman at the time, and i had a new laptop with vista | Dec 06 23:01 |
|---|
| kevin832 | 7.10 was a great release | Dec 06 23:01 |
|---|
| wispy | ah the memories :) | Dec 06 23:01 |
|---|
| kevin832 | the first time I used compiz-fusion :) | Dec 06 23:01 |
|---|
| trmanco | my first *buntu was 7.04 | Dec 06 23:01 |
|---|
| wispy | compiz is great | Dec 06 23:02 |
|---|
| wispy | feisty | Dec 06 23:02 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | I jumped on Ubuntu at 8.04, more out of reputation for being friendly to everyone. I think now though, most of the mainstream distros are very similar in terms of user friendliness. | Dec 06 23:02 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | I have to keep in mind that if Im 100% Linux at home, the wife needs to be able to use it. | Dec 06 23:02 |
|---|
| kevin832 | the wi-fi support was enhanced quite a bit in 8.10. that's mainly why i upgraded | Dec 06 23:03 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | I was lucky that 8.04 was "out of the box" for me. I dont think Ive had any major issues with it. | Dec 06 23:04 |
|---|
| wispy | mandriva, mint, fedora, and pclinuxos are good for newbies | Dec 06 23:04 |
|---|
| wispy | ubuntu's install was cake | Dec 06 23:04 |
|---|
| wispy | i never had wi-fi problems with ubuntu | Dec 06 23:05 |
|---|
| wispy | it worked better than vista | Dec 06 23:05 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | Agreed wispy, although I think most distros now cater for the newer user. | Dec 06 23:05 |
|---|
| wispy | out of the box is important, i agree goblin | Dec 06 23:05 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | I was very impressed with a small distro called NimbleX 08. An excellent effort by a one man operation. | Dec 06 23:06 |
|---|
| kevin832 | i used to use slax | Dec 06 23:06 |
|---|
| wispy | i heard it's nice | Dec 06 23:06 |
|---|
| GoblinRFD | and who can not fail to mention.........UBUNTU - SATANIC EDITION!! | Dec 06 23:06 |
|---|
| wispy | slax is based on slackware, right? | Dec 06 23:06 |
|---|
| kevin832 | yes | Dec 06 23:06 |
|---|

| schestowitz | It encourages dumbing down of people. | Dec 06 23:40 |
|---|
| kevin832 | agreed | Dec 06 23:40 |
|---|
| schestowitz | People mimic this behaviour and attitude. | Dec 06 23:40 |
|---|
| wispy | she has neither brains nor beauty | Dec 06 23:40 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's shown as glorifies, as if to say "do this and you'll be loved." That won't help develop the country; unless one is Hustler in the Playboy Mansion or something. | Dec 06 23:41 |
|---|
| schestowitz | wispy: well, she is pretty though. | Dec 06 23:41 |

|---|
| kevin832 | wow i never knew he was arrested | Dec 06 23:46 |

|---|
| kevin832 | ahh | Dec 06 23:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's in the public domain (the records of the incident) | Dec 06 23:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Very typical. Very... | Dec 06 23:53 |
|---|
| Eruaran | hello all | Dec 06 23:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Everything with vanity and exaggeration... like the business practices. | Dec 06 23:54 |
|---|
| kevin832 | hi | Dec 06 23:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | hey , Eruaran | Dec 06 23:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Should we give up this Fort 25 censorship thing? | Dec 06 23:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's probably better not to draw any attention to the archers of the Fort anyway. They get little attention as it stands. | Dec 06 23:55 |
|---|
| Eruaran | I think you have to register, but its not user friendly enough to actually tell you that you need to register. | Dec 06 23:56 |
|---|
| Eruaran | I thought I might sign up just so I can comment... But not until I've read the "services agreement"... the link is dead. | Dec 06 23:57 |
|---|
| Eruaran | Click on the services agreement link and... page not found... | Dec 06 23:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I guess they won't even mend it. | Dec 06 23:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Garbage can site to serve as a placeholder and proof of Web presence as MS 'open source' | Dec 06 23:58 |
|---|
| Eruaran | If they can't even get a couple of things like this to work properly... | Dec 06 23:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | There's mcirosoft.com/opensource, IIRC | Dec 06 23:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They are very marginal in the FOSS blogosphere. | Dec 06 23:59 |
