Even with Vista, people know they can bring a crippled, virus/spyware infested system to us and we can clean it up and return it to the customer running better than it ever has. Depending on how busy we are, they get it back same day or the next day. We know most places will just backup data and re-install. |

Dec 07 00:28 |

They wanted us to get things working the way they wanted it… but the way they wanted things set up was inherently broken… We fixed it, but then they complained so we put things back the way they were before and told them the system is broken and you cant fix it unless youre willing to do things differently |
Dec 07 00:30 |

They had local networks that didn’t work properly and head office wanting to have a VPN to stores using dialup or some crap like that… it screwed the stores systems up.. |

The local stores (there are at least 3 in our city) were very happy with what we did… but their national HQ chucked a frothy fit over it… stores were happy cause things were working great, HQ wasn’t happy cause they couldn’t have their stupid dialup VPN access… |

Been the same for over 2 years. |
Dec 07 01:43 |

Dec 07 01:43 |

Dec 07 01:47 |
| PetoKraus |
they had one gig over here…. and i quite liked them |
Dec 07 01:47 |

He and another guy. I considered dumping their RSS feed because they pollute the whole with OBVIOUS trolling. |
Dec 07 01:47 |

reminds me of the song from doom 2 that sounded like alice in chains |
Dec 07 02:21 |
| schestowitz |
But where and how does one draw the line. There are many old cases like that. When I was 15 or so the Spice Girls got sued. |
Dec 07 02:21 |
| schestowitz |
Which one from doom2? |
Dec 07 02:22 |
| kevin832 |
i never even noticed it until somebody pointed it out |
Dec 07 02:22 |
| schestowitz |
I still have it on this PC |
Dec 07 02:22 |

the map with all those barrels near the start |
Dec 07 02:22 |
| schestowitz |
Never checked it with Wine.. it’s something I carried from many, many years ago.. |
Dec 07 02:22 |
| kevin832 |
it sounds like the song “them bones” |
Dec 07 02:22 |

For RMS, starting this movement was never about cutting costs but about keeping control. That said, I bet he thought about cultural issues some time along the way, realising that digital divides and exploitation can end when the cost barriers are eliminated. Then the ‘open-source’ libraries and media thing (open access too) began. |

Microsoft is ‘cracking down’ on so-called ‘piracy’ like nobody’s business ATM. They need the money. I’ll write a lot about this tonight. |

i mean, he’s not a linux guru |
Dec 07 12:52 |

what common Sixpack Joe using Linux thinks |
Dec 07 12:53 |

I thought linux was a large portion of “the cloud” |

MS got accused of cracking PC, but people obviously don’t read the EULA. |

Cloud=server |

TLDR |

Eruaran: well, my comment is even longer than whole post |

I’ll set up a small ‘cloud’ tomorrow. 133t cloud |
Dec 07 12:54 |

heh |
Dec 07 12:54 |
| PetoKraus |
schestowitz: i thought we already had one here |
Dec 07 12:54 |
| Eruaran |
PetoKraus: I’m referring to Microsoft’s EULA |
Dec 07 12:54 |
| PetoKraus |
Eruaran: uh-huh |
Dec 07 12:54 |
| PetoKraus |
otoh, is GPL shorter? |
Dec 07 12:54 |
| Eruaran |
GPL is more interesting |
Dec 07 12:55 |

|
Dec 07 12:55 |
| Eruaran |
The opening blurb makes people go, “oho ?” |
Dec 07 12:55 |
| Eruaran |
And they read at least a bit more before they get to the TLDR part |

Whore Media |
Dec 07 13:06 |
| schestowitz |
It’s malicious. It extracts all his personal stuff from packets and then sells it to SPAMMING companies |
Dec 07 13:06 |
| schestowitz |
It should be a crime |

The EU COmmisioned demanded that Clown and his cabinet crack down on it. They didn’t. |

The ISP is ‘ill’. It has whorms. |

Read your agreement with your service provider |
Dec 07 13:30 |
| schestowitz |
They make it cheap by selling you out |
Dec 07 13:30 |
| benJIman |
be didn’t filter until recently, when they started implementing the IWF’s filters. |

Prostitution is easy money too. |

Google earns a lot from spying on people |
Dec 07 13:31 |
| schestowitz |
Use NoScript |
Dec 07 13:31 |
| benJIman |
They’re probably still the best ISP as they don’t do traffic shaping based on protocol and don’t use phorm. |
Dec 07 13:31 |
| Eruaran |
If they are failing to offer the service you expected when you signed up, then you may be able to terminate the contract on the grounds of breach of contract. |
Dec 07 13:31 |
| Eruaran |
Unresonable new restrictions may represent a breach of contract. |
Dec 07 13:33 |

benJIman: BE? |
Dec 07 13:33 |
| PetoKraus |
the point is |
