mitsuhiko | jose: i already read it | Feb 02 18:57 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: define "gpl crap" | Feb 02 18:57 |
jose | mitsuhiko, the cli is a low footprint solution | Feb 02 18:58 |
The_Mad_Hatter | mitsuhiko - it's clumsy as hell to work with. That's a problem. | Feb 02 18:58 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: i can't use it? | Feb 02 18:58 |
jose | mitsuhiko, well what did you think? | Feb 02 18:58 |
mitsuhiko | gpl only works with gpl | Feb 02 18:58 |
MinceR | not really | Feb 02 18:58 |
MinceR | read the faq at fsf.org | Feb 02 18:58 |
The_Mad_Hatter | mitsuhiko - it's worse than netbeans. | Feb 02 18:58 |
MinceR | you can use non-gpl libraries from gpl apps | Feb 02 18:58 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: readline is a gpl library | Feb 02 18:58 |
mitsuhiko | you can't use it from non gpl code | Feb 02 18:58 |
mitsuhiko | get your facts right | Feb 02 18:58 |
MinceR | then write gpl code | Feb 02 18:58 |
mitsuhiko | which is something i won't do | Feb 02 18:59 |
MinceR | you said you _can't_ do it | Feb 02 18:59 |
MinceR | not that you _won't_ do it | Feb 02 18:59 |
MinceR | learn the difference | Feb 02 18:59 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: i can't and i won't | Feb 02 18:59 |
MinceR | why can't you? | Feb 02 18:59 |
MinceR | does your religion forbid you from doing so? | Feb 02 18:59 |
schestowitz | MS DRM history: http://boycottnovell.com/2009/02/02/mic... | Feb 02 18:59 |
mitsuhiko | i can't because people depend on my stuff being non gpl and i hate the gpl for what it stands for | Feb 02 18:59 |
MinceR | (that would be my guess) | Feb 02 18:59 |
mitsuhiko | which is something i cannot support | Feb 02 19:00 |
The_Mad_Hatter | gpl is useful for some things. BSD or MIT for others. | Feb 02 19:00 |
mitsuhiko | schestowitz: the world is bad, deal with it | Feb 02 19:00 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - you hate the GPL? Tell us more. | Feb 02 19:00 |
jose | gpl is quite useful i find | Feb 02 19:00 |
MinceR | which people depend on all your stuff being non gpl and why? | Feb 02 19:00 |
mitsuhiko | but what does that have to do with mono? | Feb 02 19:00 |
mitsuhiko | let microsoft do their thing, let the mono guys to theirs | Feb 02 19:00 |
MinceR | let's not let microsoft do their thing | Feb 02 19:00 |
MinceR | it has already resulted in a lot of damage | Feb 02 19:01 |
jose | nor encourage the mono people to help microsoft | Feb 02 19:01 |
The_Mad_Hatter | I found a new blog - Microsoft Delenda Est! | Feb 02 19:01 |
The_Mad_Hatter | http://microsoftdelendaest.blo... | Feb 02 19:01 |
mitsuhiko | oh boy. you will never stop will you? :-/ | Feb 02 19:01 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: will you? | Feb 02 19:01 |
The_Mad_Hatter | For those who can't read Latin it translates to "Microsoft must be destroyed" | Feb 02 19:02 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: i don't know about you, but i for myself try to stay unbiased as much as i can | Feb 02 19:02 |
jose | mitsuhiko, gpl mono and mono with (let's assume) a patent grant from microsoft doesn't fix the damage: http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?l... this is part two.. part one is the other link | Feb 02 19:02 |
mitsuhiko | and if that means adopting other people's opinions when it turns out that they are right, that's what i will do | Feb 02 19:02 |
jose | the mono guys can do their things.. and BN does it's thing | Feb 02 19:02 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: well, you seem to be brutally unsuccessful | Feb 02 19:02 |
mitsuhiko | which is why i don't blindly support the gpl | Feb 02 19:02 |
MinceR | you will blindly diss it instead, as we could see | Feb 02 19:03 |
jose | well, closed source monopolies are incompatible with foss | Feb 02 19:03 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: i'm watching your blog for at least half a year | Feb 02 19:03 |
MinceR | that will be very difficult | Feb 02 19:03 |
MinceR | considering that i don't have a blog | Feb 02 19:03 |
mitsuhiko | you blog being schestowitz's blog | Feb 02 19:03 |
The_Mad_Hatter | mitsuhiko - but apparently not getting it. | Feb 02 19:03 |
MinceR | that isn't my blog | Feb 02 19:03 |
jose | mitsuhiko, feel free to find the fud and point to the opinion of others that is correct..in your opinion. | Feb 02 19:04 |
MinceR | it follows from the above that watching all the blogs that i have, on the other hand, is a trivial task :> | Feb 02 19:04 |
mitsuhiko | i strongly recommend any of you to talk to guys from novell or microsoft for a moment | Feb 02 19:05 |
jose | why don't you sell me there argument right here right now.. why wait.. i hate suspense (most of time) | Feb 02 19:05 |
MinceR | they come here from time to time so that's already given | Feb 02 19:05 |
The_Mad_Hatter | mitsuhiko - I have a bunch of microsoft guys I keep in touch with on Facebook | Feb 02 19:05 |
jose | there -> their | Feb 02 19:05 |
mitsuhiko | there is no argument that stops the discussion as the topic is a complex one | Feb 02 19:05 |
mitsuhiko | the world is not just black and white, and neither is novell or microsoft | Feb 02 19:06 |
MinceR | novell and microsoft aren't black and white, indeed | Feb 02 19:06 |
MinceR | they're black | Feb 02 19:06 |
jose | and why don't you contribute some selling here on these forums.. what's the hold up.. let's continue with the discussion. | Feb 02 19:06 |
MinceR | (well novell is since it has become a lackey to microsoft) | Feb 02 19:06 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: which is exactly the kind of attitude that kills a serious discussion before it started | Feb 02 19:06 |
The_Mad_Hatter | mitsuhiko - buy getting back to the important point, where is the FUD you claim Roy has posted, and give us your reasoning as to why it's FUD. Back up your claims with facts, quotations, etc. | Feb 02 19:06 |
jose | i don't like nda's | Feb 02 19:06 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: i'm sorry for contradicting your religious beliefs | Feb 02 19:07 |
MinceR | perhaps you'd feel cozier with the other believers | Feb 02 19:07 |
jose | mitsuhiko, i'll have a serious discussion with you.. while i'm on here. | Feb 02 19:07 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: we've already called your bluffs | Feb 02 19:07 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: religion has nothing to do with that discussion | Feb 02 19:07 |
jose | i like keeping tabs on the humor, but i'll try myself to stay serious. | Feb 02 19:07 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - please define the "FUD" that you claim is here. | Feb 02 19:08 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: The FUD is that microsoft or anyone else could come by and "disable" your application from one moment to another | Feb 02 19:08 |
mitsuhiko | which is not that will or could happen | Feb 02 19:08 |
MinceR | what context is that stated in? | Feb 02 19:08 |
MinceR | what platform, etc. | Feb 02 19:08 |
MinceR | (so i'll know what you're talking about) | Feb 02 19:08 |
jose | "disable" well a patent suit would effectively disable | Feb 02 19:08 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - but it's documented that they could - see this article from 2003 | Feb 02 19:08 |
The_Mad_Hatter | http://aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html | Feb 02 19:09 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: no, they can not | Feb 02 19:09 |
jose | and it need not be microsoft but could be proxies. | Feb 02 19:09 |
mitsuhiko | jose: you know that this will not happen | Feb 02 19:09 |
The_Mad_Hatter | I'm sorry, it's close to 200 pages long. | Feb 02 19:09 |
jose | mitsuhiko.. funny | Feb 02 19:09 |
jose | mitsuhiko .. trolls have little to lose | Feb 02 19:09 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - you are correct. I know this won't happen to me, since I don't use any Microsoft software. | Feb 02 19:09 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: as a user of microsoft software you don't have to fear anything | Feb 02 19:10 |
MinceR | The_Mad_Hatter: what about mono | Feb 02 19:10 |
MinceR | ? | Feb 02 19:10 |
jose | trolls love it when you have lots of $$$ | Feb 02 19:10 |
jose | they also like to stiffle projects at key junctures | Feb 02 19:10 |
jose | stifle | Feb 02 19:10 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - according to Microsoft I do, otherwise the EULA wouldn't mention the issue | Feb 02 19:10 |
The_Mad_Hatter | MinceR - No Mono either. | Feb 02 19:11 |
mitsuhiko | i don't know about the states, but at least in europe the EULA stands on no legal basis | Feb 02 19:11 |
mitsuhiko | and the EULA has nothing to do with how patents work | Feb 02 19:11 |
jose | mitsuhiko,, i am talking about as a user and dev of mono and dotnet clones /apps | Feb 02 19:11 |
The_Mad_Hatter | MinceR - I removed it from Ubuntu. | Feb 02 19:11 |
MinceR | ic | Feb 02 19:11 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: .net applications are not infringing any patents by definition | Feb 02 19:12 |
MinceR | so the framework does? | Feb 02 19:12 |
jose | what definition are you talking about? That would be interesting | Feb 02 19:12 |
mitsuhiko | there are patents that patent parts of every compiler, every virtual machine, every framework you know | Feb 02 19:12 |
mitsuhiko | why don't you go after python for infringing patents? | Feb 02 19:12 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - the EULA gives Microsoft the ability to do things to my computer without my permission is I am running Windows. | Feb 02 19:12 |
jose | nevermind.. you meant ms dotnet, ok | Feb 02 19:12 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: the question is, which patents will they attempt to use against me | Feb 02 19:13 |
jose | microsoft did not make those up | Feb 02 19:13 |
jose | to patent you have to invent | Feb 02 19:13 |
MinceR | ballmer's threats were pretty clear | Feb 02 19:13 |
jose | in the us | Feb 02 19:13 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: what part of the EULA says that? | Feb 02 19:13 |
jose | random patents pose limited hazards in contrast to guaranteed violations from api usage | Feb 02 19:13 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: ballmer's a monkey that tries to attract shareholders | Feb 02 19:13 |
MinceR | so why do you buy software from that monkey? | Feb 02 19:14 |
mitsuhiko | who said i did? | Feb 02 19:14 |
mitsuhiko | if you're clever you get it for free | Feb 02 19:14 |
jose | why don't you help fork mono | Feb 02 19:14 |
MinceR | you keep advocating the use of m$ products | Feb 02 19:14 |
MinceR | and a product that depends on their patents | Feb 02 19:14 |
mitsuhiko | jose: because i'm perfectly fine with how it works. no need to fork it | Feb 02 19:14 |
jose | yeah, as if modifying it would change anything really. | Feb 02 19:15 |
jose | if you did it propertly | Feb 02 19:15 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: that company is still called microsoft or ms, not m$ | Feb 02 19:15 |
jose | of course, keeping it identical is the way to lead to guaranteed patent violations | Feb 02 19:15 |
jose | and spread MS protocols, api, grow mindshare, etc | Feb 02 19:15 |
mitsuhiko | i don't care how creates the protocols as long as they are standardized | Feb 02 19:16 |
mitsuhiko | people are happily using DAAP even though apple changes the protocol every release of iTunes | Feb 02 19:16 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: they get as much respect as they deserve | Feb 02 19:16 |
jose | standards don't change anything of what i just said | Feb 02 19:17 |
mitsuhiko | you can always see the devil | Feb 02 19:17 |
jose | that's bn for you... seeing and calling the devil out | Feb 02 19:17 |

mitsuhiko | well. if you're calling it "boycot novell" you can expect pissed people joining the channel | Feb 02 19:18 |
jose | i understand | Feb 02 19:18 |
jose | i'd call it boycottmicrosoft | Feb 02 19:18 |
MinceR | yes, people who believe novell should get away with what they're doing | Feb 02 19:18 |
jose | and then accept the urination as a cost of doing business | Feb 02 19:18 |
jose | boycottnovell is good as well though | Feb 02 19:19 |
MinceR | the same people tend to believe that MICROS~1 should get away with what they're doing, too | Feb 02 19:19 |
MinceR | i think it should be more general | Feb 02 19:19 |
jose | so long as novell keeps pushing what they push | Feb 02 19:19 |
mitsuhiko | as a matter of fact i think both companies should continue to do what they are doing | Feb 02 19:19 |
jose | great | Feb 02 19:19 |
jose | different strokes for different folks | Feb 02 19:20 |

mitsuhiko | do you believe that we would live in a better world if microsoft and novell wouldn't be here? | Feb 02 19:20 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: they don't care about you | Feb 02 19:20 |
jose | what kind of question is that? | Feb 02 19:20 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: i didn't ask about myself | Feb 02 19:20 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: so, do they pay you? | Feb 02 19:20 |
jose | they don't have to pay him/her | Feb 02 19:21 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: i'm sure we'd live in a better world if m$ and novell never existed | Feb 02 19:21 |
MinceR | actually, it would be enough if m$ never existed | Feb 02 19:21 |
MinceR | without them, novell wouldn't be what it is | Feb 02 19:21 |
jose | that's true | Feb 02 19:21 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: unfortunately the english language got rid of the 2nd form singular. if course i was referring to the channel i consider you (you, yourself) being a part of | Feb 02 19:21 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - Did you read the EULA text? | Feb 02 19:21 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: i don't care if they care about us | Feb 02 19:22 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: it's not valid here, why should i do | Feb 02 19:22 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: i know they want profits at the expense of everyone who doesn't work for them | Feb 02 19:22 |
jose | this is about protecting foss devs and users | Feb 02 19:22 |
MinceR | (microsoft vs. the world) | Feb 02 19:22 |
jose | from public enemy number one | Feb 02 19:22 |
jose | closed source monopolies and foss don't mix | Feb 02 19:22 |
mitsuhiko | competition is good | Feb 02 19:23 |
mitsuhiko | you should start to accept that | Feb 02 19:23 |
MinceR | microsoft doesn't agree with you | Feb 02 19:23 |
jose | competition that is fair is wonderful | Feb 02 19:23 |
MinceR | they do everything they can to avoid having to compete | Feb 02 19:23 |
mitsuhiko | microsoft is fair | Feb 02 19:23 |
MinceR | lol | Feb 02 19:23 |
MinceR | tell us more jokes like that | Feb 02 19:23 |
mitsuhiko | so, what is not fair? | Feb 02 19:23 |
mitsuhiko | that they punched netscape out of the market? | Feb 02 19:23 |
mitsuhiko | their browser sucked | Feb 02 19:23 |
jose | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-... | Feb 02 19:23 |
MinceR | for example, what they did to Digital Research? | Feb 02 19:23 |
mitsuhiko | that they puntched apple in the face? apple had a closed architecture, no wonder they failed | Feb 02 19:24 |
MinceR | explorer sucked and still sucks more than netscape ever did | Feb 02 19:24 |
jose | a stranglehold is not good for those outside | Feb 02 19:24 |
MinceR | apple are just another microsoft | Feb 02 19:24 |
mitsuhiko | you should know that, you're encouraging people to use open source | Feb 02 19:24 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - well you asked where it said that Microsoft could remote admin my computer, and turn thinkggs off. So I posted the text in question, now you say that it's not legal where you are. I supposed that this means that you don't care about those who live where it is legal? | Feb 02 19:24 |
MinceR | afaik they still own part of apple | Feb 02 19:24 |
schestowitz | MinceR: check this | Feb 02 19:24 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: point me to the eula and the part you're refering to where they allow themselves to log into your computer | Feb 02 19:24 |
schestowitz | Someone posted it to USENET last night | Feb 02 19:24 |

MinceR | then there's wordperfect | Feb 02 19:25 |

jose | i don't read their eula's but if they don't explicitly say they won't and you don't explicitly specify that, they can. | Feb 02 19:26 |
schestowitz | People are intended to be stupefied. | Feb 02 19:27 |
MinceR | sounds like the Reality Distortion Field | Feb 02 19:27 |
schestowitz | Then forget the sins of companies like Microsoft | Feb 02 19:27 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: where is the text? | Feb 02 19:27 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Right here - 2.3 Internet-Based Services Components. The Software contains components that enable and facilitate the use of certain Internet-based services. You acknowledge and agree that Microsoft may automatically check the version of the Software and/or its components that you are utilizing and may provide upgrades or fixes to the Software that will be automatically downloaded to your Workstation Computer | Feb 02 19:27 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: that is not logging into the system, that's automatic updates | Feb 02 19:27 |
schestowitz | This was well realised many many years ago when companies were told explicitly to pretend to be nice to the cameras or else people would know the crimes they are up to. | Feb 02 19:27 |
schestowitz | In IT, Microsoft is a class of its own (in crime) | Feb 02 19:27 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Yep, Microsoft has a massive Reality Distortion Field | Feb 02 19:27 |
schestowitz | Since the very beginning | Feb 02 19:27 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: do you have a car with a gps? | Feb 02 19:27 |
jose | like i said: i don't read their eula's but if they don't explicitly say they won't and you don't explicitly specify that, they can. | Feb 02 19:27 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: automatically downloading arbitrary code is essentially root access | Feb 02 19:28 |
mitsuhiko | you should read *THAT* eula :) | Feb 02 19:28 |
schestowitz | Other industries have their MS equivalents, but not all of them | Feb 02 19:28 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: no. installing code is, which they do not | Feb 02 19:28 |
mitsuhiko | schestowitz: which industry does not have monopolies? | Feb 02 19:28 |
jose | a gps device is not comparable to the OS that runs my business or private dealings | Feb 02 19:28 |
schestowitz | De Icaza is part of the MS hypnosis | Feb 02 19:28 |

schestowitz | Both on hypnosis | Feb 02 19:29 |
mitsuhiko | hypnosis... | Feb 02 19:29 |
MinceR | if part of that runs with admin rights, which it does | Feb 02 19:29 |
schestowitz | Yes | Feb 02 19:29 |
mitsuhiko | that's what i'm calling FUD | Feb 02 19:29 |
schestowitz | Illusion | Feb 02 19:29 |
schestowitz | Like Hollywood and Washington | Feb 02 19:29 |
schestowitz | Washington DC has the most gun crime | Feb 02 19:29 |
schestowitz | But also the most white-collar crime, AFAIK | Feb 02 19:29 |
jose | what is the fud.. the miguel thing or that ms can do what they want with the software you are licensing? | Feb 02 19:29 |
schestowitz | But the word crime is supposed to be associated with terms like black | Feb 02 19:29 |
schestowitz | Like [black] crime | Feb 02 19:29 |
mitsuhiko | your weapon is confusion, because you don't make sense :) | Feb 02 19:29 |
schestowitz | Or welfare [mother] | Feb 02 19:30 |

MinceR | they seem to have forgot that | Feb 02 19:30 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: they know that they are | Feb 02 19:30 |
schestowitz | The_Mad_Hatter: I was there in 2006, don't be deceived | Feb 02 19:30 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: why don't they act like they know then? | Feb 02 19:30 |

mitsuhiko | MinceR: is that a serious question? | Feb 02 19:31 |
mitsuhiko | jose: so? | Feb 02 19:31 |
schestowitz | Just favours or money swapped | Feb 02 19:31 |
MinceR | does the term "monopoly abuse" ring a bell? | Feb 02 19:31 |
schestowitz | “Did you know that there are more than 34,750 registered lobbyists in Washington, D.C., for just 435 representatives and 100 senators? That's 64 lobbyists for each congressperson.” | Feb 02 19:31 |
jose | so the code into it what they want | Feb 02 19:31 |
schestowitz | If only more people had realise how the US is run | Feb 02 19:31 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Roy - I think that Washington is a lot less dangerous than it's made out to be. I've never had any trouble, and I'm usually there 2-3 times per year. | Feb 02 19:32 |
schestowitz | And how subsidies are used for taxation and reform is a code word for something else... | Feb 02 19:32 |
schestowitz | And then you have hired guns like this criminal: http://www.bermanexposed.or | Feb 02 19:32 |
The_Mad_Hatter | United States - Government for the corporations, by the corporations. | Feb 02 19:32 |
jose | btw, in last comment.. "the" -> "they" | Feb 02 19:32 |
schestowitz | No worries about typos | Feb 02 19:33 |
jose | was worried the short fragment didn't make sense | Feb 02 19:33 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: have your fun, poke at microsoft but let the mono guys do their stuff | Feb 02 19:33 |
jose | help Microsoft accomplish it's goals?? | Feb 02 19:33 |
jose | sorry. | Feb 02 19:33 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: the mono guys are developing a patent trap that serves microsoft | Feb 02 19:33 |
schestowitz | heh. That's kind of the host.. "Thank you for your reply and for choosing HostDime for all of your web hosting needs. I hope we can continue to provide you with excellent services and prices now and in the future. If you may ever have any future comments or questions, please do not hesitate to submit a ticket or post in our community forums." | Feb 02 19:33 |
The_Mad_Hatter | mitsuhiko - why should we do that? | Feb 02 19:34 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: we've already covered that | Feb 02 19:34 |
schestowitz | I guess I should have pressed them on Sunday | Feb 02 19:34 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: because it's the only thing that would save linux on the desktop | Feb 02 19:34 |
jose | let's let bn do its thing as well and we can keep arguing back and forth for years to come. | Feb 02 19:34 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: that's an overstatement | Feb 02 19:34 |
mitsuhiko | it's not | Feb 02 19:34 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - Why would it save Linux on the desktop? | Feb 02 19:34 |
MinceR | well, we've heard your micro$oft dogma | Feb 02 19:34 |
MinceR | (one side of it anyway :> ) | Feb 02 19:34 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: because computers change and the oss community will have a hard time keeping up | Feb 02 19:35 |
mitsuhiko | most of the open source stuff copies existing technologies in a bad way | Feb 02 19:35 |
MinceR | lol | Feb 02 19:35 |
jose | is mitsuhiko suggesting linux has no hope except through mono? that is funny. | Feb 02 19:35 |
mitsuhiko | jose: on the desktop, yes | Feb 02 19:35 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - Not really. Microsoft will have a hard time keeping up. | Feb 02 19:35 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: why don't you research where m$ takes their "technology"? | Feb 02 19:35 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: how so? | Feb 02 19:35 |
MinceR | here's a hint: they didn't invent it. | Feb 02 19:35 |
jose | you are too much mitsuhiko.. you don't make sense, buy you are funny | Feb 02 19:35 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: they either buy or invent it, they do have microsoft research | Feb 02 19:35 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - Microsoft doesn't have 10 million programmers working on it. | Feb 02 19:35 |
mitsuhiko | and there work some of the cleverest guys out there | Feb 02 19:36 |
MinceR | also, if you believe that gnu/linux is just a copy of 1970s unix, you read too much m$ propaganda and lack critical thinking. | Feb 02 19:36 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: we can see how clever it is | Feb 02 19:36 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: ten million programmers running in different directions | Feb 02 19:36 |
MinceR | it leads to products like vista | Feb 02 19:36 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: have you actually ever worked with vista? | Feb 02 19:36 |
MinceR | in fact i have | Feb 02 19:36 |
MinceR | thankfully not much | Feb 02 19:36 |
mitsuhiko | or is your only experience what ars technica is writing | Feb 02 19:36 |
MinceR | even the usb storage device handling sucks in vista | Feb 02 19:36 |
mitsuhiko | so. what's the problem with vista | Feb 02 19:36 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - That's the strength of Free Software. | Feb 02 19:37 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: no. that's the problem | Feb 02 19:37 |
mitsuhiko | not a single component of the average linux desktop is working out fine | Feb 02 19:37 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: those "different directions" are what result in innovation | Feb 02 19:37 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - no, that's the strength. Ask a biologist about hybrid vigor. | Feb 02 19:37 |
mitsuhiko | graphics system does not do because of the gpl kernel and people hating proprietary drivers | Feb 02 19:37 |
MinceR | not what the marketers of the day make up at m$ | Feb 02 19:37 |
MinceR | which basically amount to "let's make a new, shinier skin" | Feb 02 19:37 |
mitsuhiko | the network manager is a catastrophe | Feb 02 19:37 |
mitsuhiko | we have half a dozen of core technologies in memory at the same time making it a memory hog | Feb 02 19:38 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - agreed. The Windows network manager is a catasrophe. | Feb 02 19:38 |
jose | mitsuhiko, what does your anger at some kernel or desktop issues have to do with mono | Feb 02 19:38 |
mitsuhiko | there is not a single interface users can use | Feb 02 19:38 |
MinceR | you know what's a memory hog? windows. | Feb 02 19:38 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: i was talking about the red hat one | Feb 02 19:38 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: haha, no | Feb 02 19:38 |
MinceR | haha, yes | Feb 02 19:38 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - and I'm talking about the Microsoft one. It's shit. | Feb 02 19:38 |
jose | mitsuhiko, those that wouldn't know better might think from hearing you that linux is crap. | Feb 02 19:38 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: if you can talk away problems with the network manager, you should try to do that in the launchpad | Feb 02 19:39 |
jose | of course, to balance, they'll also hear that windows and vista are crap as well. :-) | Feb 02 19:39 |
mitsuhiko | maybe it will convince people that linux isn't crap afterall | Feb 02 19:39 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: networkmanager works for me :> | Feb 02 19:39 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: one in a million | Feb 02 19:39 |
MinceR | i'm sure | Feb 02 19:39 |
mitsuhiko | i suppose your acpi support works flawlessly as well | Feb 02 19:39 |
MinceR | it's strange how all microsoft munchkins believe everybody else is just like them | Feb 02 19:39 |
MinceR | it does | Feb 02 19:40 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - you know I haven't had a single machine meltdown since I dumped Windows? | Feb 02 19:40 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: you know that i never had a problem with either operating system? | Feb 02 19:40 |
jose | acpi is an antitrust issue for microsoft in waiting | Feb 02 19:40 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - I used to have one every 3-4 months (we have a lot of computers here) | Feb 02 19:40 |
mitsuhiko | neither windows, neither dos, neither os x, neither linux | Feb 02 19:40 |
mitsuhiko | in terms of "destroyed or stopped working" | Feb 02 19:40 |
MinceR | strange | Feb 02 19:40 |
mitsuhiko | jose: oh yes, that will help the problems it has | Feb 02 19:41 |
MinceR | a moment ago you were claiming linux is crap | Feb 02 19:41 |
jose | acpi and antitrust: http://boycottnovell.com/2009/01/31/hu... | Feb 02 19:41 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: which is why i said destroyed or stopped working | Feb 02 19:41 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - Windows would die (computer not capable of booting) on a regular basis. L | Feb 02 19:41 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: i wonder why only microsoft haters have that problem | Feb 02 19:41 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: because that problem makes people hate microsoft? | Feb 02 19:41 |
mitsuhiko | probably a conspiracy | Feb 02 19:41 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Linux/BSD/Solaris is a hell of a lot more stable. I have machines here running BSD and Linux at present (decided Soalris was too much work) | Feb 02 19:41 |
MinceR | it isn't rocket science, you know | Feb 02 19:41 |
jose | microsoft haters...lol | Feb 02 19:42 |
jose | Monopolysoft hater.. | Feb 02 19:42 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: to a large extend because if you have the same problem on a windows box you're blaming microsoft whereas on a linux box you're ignoring it | Feb 02 19:42 |
jose | hater.. beautiful word | Feb 02 19:42 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: which problem would that be? | Feb 02 19:42 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - a lot of people have that problem. Windows is, and has always been unstable. | Feb 02 19:42 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: network problems, broken updates (like x11 stopping working), buggy software etc. | Feb 02 19:43 |
mitsuhiko | The_Mad_Hatter: windows only was unstable in the dos line | Feb 02 19:43 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - the same machine running Linux/BSD runs flawlessly. | Feb 02 19:43 |
MinceR | the last time x11 stopped working was years ago | Feb 02 19:43 |
mitsuhiko | caused by bad 3rd party software and bad memory protection | Feb 02 19:43 |
mitsuhiko | the nt line is totally different in terms of operating system design | Feb 02 19:43 |
MinceR | the last time i've had a bsod in windows was when i attempted to install it :> | Feb 02 19:43 |
mitsuhiko | the only thing that can cause a bsod there is a kernel module (aka driver) | Feb 02 19:43 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - Windows NT/2000/XP is marginally more stable than 95/98/ME, but not much. | Feb 02 19:44 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: overclocked machine or broken ram | Feb 02 19:44 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: wrong | Feb 02 19:44 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: their partition table handling code in the installer sucks | Feb 02 19:44 |
MinceR | i've worked around it | Feb 02 19:44 |
MinceR | but it's ugly | Feb 02 19:44 |
jose | a kernel module.. or bugs | Feb 02 19:44 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Misuhiko - same machine with BSD/Linux runs fine, 24/7, for years. | Feb 02 19:44 |
mitsuhiko | jose: user space applications can't cause a BSOD | Feb 02 19:44 |
jose | of course, we have to take microsoft's word that there are no design flaws.. | Feb 02 19:45 |
MinceR | assuming that there are no bugs in windows | Feb 02 19:45 |
jose | words are cheap | Feb 02 19:45 |
MinceR | that would be an interesting alternate reality | Feb 02 19:45 |
jose | mitsuhiko, what's that about userspace apps? | Feb 02 19:45 |
PeterKraus | words are weightless here on earth, because they are free... | Feb 02 19:45 |
PeterKraus | -- Josh Homme, QoTSA | Feb 02 19:45 |
MinceR | we know for a fact that there are design flaws in windows | Feb 02 19:45 |
mitsuhiko | jose: what do you mean? | Feb 02 19:45 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: like? | Feb 02 19:45 |
mitsuhiko | the windows.h? | Feb 02 19:45 |
The_Mad_Hatter | Mitsuhiko - and of course costs running BSD/Linux are far less, since you don't have to have an Anti-Virus subscription | Feb 02 19:45 |
jose | what did you last comment to me mean? | Feb 02 19:45 |
mitsuhiko | jose: what i said? | Feb 02 19:46 |
MinceR | like having part of the gui (no, not the display drivers) built into the kernel | Feb 02 19:46 |
jose | ok, but not sure why you addressed it to me. | Feb 02 19:46 |
jose | a bug in the OS could mean that a sneeze can lead to problems | Feb 02 19:46 |
jose | so would userspace apps | Feb 02 19:46 |
MinceR | and like allowing processes to tell each other to run code for them (remote thread, iirc) | Feb 02 19:46 |
mitsuhiko | jose: the same happens on linux | Feb 02 19:46 |
mitsuhiko | no code is bug free | Feb 02 19:46 |
jose | agree pretty much | Feb 02 19:47 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: that is a clever design decision, not a flaw | Feb 02 19:47 |
MinceR | so code with one bug is equivalent to the same code with a thousand bugs? | Feb 02 19:47 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: i can attach to linux applications too an execute code | Feb 02 19:47 |
jose | there is quite a value in having the world at large have access to the source code mitsuhiko | Feb 02 19:47 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: malware writers agree with you | Feb 02 19:47 |
MinceR | it's a pretty clever trick they can hide their code with | Feb 02 19:47 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: i was referring to the the gui part | Feb 02 19:47 |
MinceR | then there's another huge design flaw they call "registry" | Feb 02 19:48 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: that's not a clever trick either | Feb 02 19:48 |
mitsuhiko | the registry is legacy cruft but not a design flaw | Feb 02 19:48 |
mitsuhiko | i don't know why everybody is having problems with the registry | Feb 02 19:48 |
MinceR | legacy? what replaces it now? | Feb 02 19:48 |
MinceR | because it sucks? | Feb 02 19:48 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: why does it suck? | Feb 02 19:48 |
MinceR | because it's unreliable and collects cruft that's difficult to impossible to remove? | Feb 02 19:48 |
jose | mitsuhiko, with open source different people can work on different solutions.. the best moves up.. marketing and time or costs aren't a factor.. in general | Feb 02 19:49 |
mitsuhiko | it's reliable | Feb 02 19:49 |
MinceR | because it's completely unnecessary as long as you have a proper filesystem? | Feb 02 19:49 |
mitsuhiko | and config files collect stuff to | Feb 02 19:49 |
mitsuhiko | and it's not impossible to remove, who told you that? | Feb 02 19:49 |
MinceR | config files are kept separate for the apps they apply to | Feb 02 19:49 |
MinceR | and are easily removed per app if necessary | Feb 02 19:49 |
MinceR | also, config files are easily fixed if there's a problem because they're text | Feb 02 19:49 |
jose | ms controls how the registry works.. the code managing the "registry" is closed | Feb 02 19:49 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: cruft is impossible to remove | Feb 02 19:49 |
MinceR | it's a mess | Feb 02 19:50 |
mitsuhiko | jose: and why is that a problem? as long as it works | Feb 02 19:50 |
jose | well, who can judge what "removes" even means | Feb 02 19:50 |
MinceR | not even microsoft knows what certain values mean in the registry | Feb 02 19:50 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: i rather use the regedit than exim config file editing | Feb 02 19:50 |
mitsuhiko | as a nice example | Feb 02 19:50 |
MinceR | ( http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09%2F... ) | Feb 02 19:50 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: we already know you have a perverted mind | Feb 02 19:50 |
MinceR | also, config files are kept separate per user where it makes sense | Feb 02 19:51 |
mitsuhiko | accusing people doesn't strengthen your point | Feb 02 19:51 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: the registry is user separated | Feb 02 19:51 |
mitsuhiko | where it makes sense | Feb 02 19:51 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: you still haven't told us what replaces the "legacy" registry | Feb 02 19:51 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: %APPDATA | Feb 02 19:51 |
MinceR | except for the registry being a single binary blob | Feb 02 19:51 |
mitsuhiko | why is it a problem that the registry is a binary file? | Feb 02 19:52 |
mitsuhiko | it's transaction safe and easy to use | Feb 02 19:52 |
MinceR | mitsuhiko: also, if it is so perfect, why was it abandoned? | Feb 02 19:52 |
mitsuhiko | and maintenance free | Feb 02 19:52 |
MinceR | lol, he says "maintenance free" | Feb 02 19:52 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: i suppose because people stuff more and more stuff into it | Feb 02 19:53 |
MinceR | text files are transaction safe with the proper editor | Feb 02 19:53 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: MUHAHA | Feb 02 19:53 |
mitsuhiko | that's a joke right? | Feb 02 19:53 |
MinceR | nope | Feb 02 19:53 |
MinceR | what you're saying is a joke | Feb 02 19:53 |
*The_Mad_Hatter has quit (Remote closed the connection) | Feb 02 19:53 |
mitsuhiko | do you know how hard it is to proper edit a file transaction safe on unix? | Feb 02 19:53 |
MinceR | it's easier than putting words in the proper order in english, apparently :> | Feb 02 19:54 |
jose | a registry means what? between what Microsoft sells and what their source code implements there are gaps.. chasms even | Feb 02 19:54 |
mitsuhiko | yes, there are file locks, but they are incredible hard to use | Feb 02 19:54 |
PeterKraus | maintenance free registry? | Feb 02 19:54 |
PeterKraus | sorry, exactly which planet windows you are talking about? | Feb 02 19:54 |
MinceR | which reality, not which planet | Feb 02 19:55 |
PeterKraus | i'm optimistic | Feb 02 19:55 |
MinceR | he's out of this world | Feb 02 19:55 |
PeterKraus | ;) | Feb 02 19:55 |
jose | mitsuhiko, i think MinceR has said something about if you use an interface made for that purpose | Feb 02 19:55 |
mitsuhiko | PeterKraus: have you ever maintained the registry? | Feb 02 19:55 |
mitsuhiko | in the post 9x days | Feb 02 19:55 |
jose | no need for file locking coding from the user | Feb 02 19:55 |
PeterKraus | well i am trying to get rid of the rubbish in the registry every saturday in my work | Feb 02 19:56 |
PeterKraus | for a dozen of customers | Feb 02 19:56 |
PeterKraus | and most of the time it's just faster to charge them €£40 more and do a full system restore | Feb 02 19:56 |
mitsuhiko | PeterKraus: once the stupid users adapt linux you have the same problem there | Feb 02 19:56 |
MinceR | actually we won't | Feb 02 19:56 |
mitsuhiko | you should see what people are able to make out of their OS X systems... | Feb 02 19:56 |
mitsuhiko | right. nobody will adopt linux | Feb 02 19:56 |
MinceR | osx isn't linux | Feb 02 19:56 |
MinceR | osx is a piece of shit | Feb 02 19:56 |
PeterKraus | mitsuhiko: well yes, it depends on the user | Feb 02 19:57 |
PeterKraus | my mother is running windows for two years | Feb 02 19:57 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: okay. now you jumped the shark | Feb 02 19:57 |
MinceR | it's a bastardized version of unix with useless layers of sugar coating on top :> | Feb 02 19:57 |
PeterKraus | quite flawlessly. Except of the fact, that she uses the computers three times a month | Feb 02 19:57 |
PeterKraus | and it's still half as fast as it was when I left home. | Feb 02 19:57 |
PeterKraus | it just gets freaking cluttered all by itself | Feb 02 19:58 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: wrong and wrong | Feb 02 19:58 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: OS X is probably the best designed operating system you can have today | Feb 02 19:58 |
MinceR | lol | Feb 02 19:58 |
MinceR | more jokes from mitsuhiko tonight | Feb 02 19:58 |
PeterKraus | MinceR: sugar? useless? you deserve to die! | Feb 02 19:58 |
PeterKraus | :P | Feb 02 19:58 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: explain | Feb 02 19:58 |
MinceR | i'm sure taking a microkernel and gluing a bsd compatibility layer onto it _in kernelspace_ counts as great design in microsoftland | Feb 02 19:59 |
*DarkUranium is now known as Guest29007 | Feb 02 19:59 |
MinceR | and bundling separate copies of libraries with each app | Feb 02 19:59 |
mitsuhiko | you clearly know how os x works... | Feb 02 19:59 |
*DarkPlutonium (i=DarkUran@cpe-92-37-92-181.dynamic.amis.net) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 02 19:59 |
MinceR | after all, who wants to share loaded libraries between multiple apps? | Feb 02 19:59 |
MinceR | of course, the main selling point is the world's least flexible mainstream gui out there :> | Feb 02 20:00 |
mitsuhiko | MinceR: os x does that for different versions of the library | Feb 02 20:00 |
mitsuhiko | something you can't even have on linux | Feb 02 20:00 |
MinceR | different major or minor versions? | Feb 02 20:00 |
jose | you can do whatever on linux | Feb 02 20:00 |
jose | distros don't do everything you can do | Feb 02 20:00 |
PeterKraus | different versions of library? | Feb 02 20:01 |
*DarkPlutonium is now known as DarkUranium | Feb 02 20:01 |
PeterKraus | last time i checked i had glib and glib2, e16 and e17, kde3 and kde4 | Feb 02 20:01 |
jose | and yes not all the plumbing is there for everything to avoid hacks | Feb 02 20:01 |
mitsuhiko | PeterKraus: that are different libraries, not versions | Feb 02 20:01 |
MinceR | the former is a bad idea because it leads to api incompatibility; the latter is already done by linux | Feb 02 20:01 |
PeterKraus | ARE YOU BLIND?!?! | Feb 02 20:01 |
MinceR | hm, how is glib a different library from glib2? | Feb 02 20:02 |
mitsuhiko | okay. i leave you alone know. there is no point in discussing with you | Feb 02 20:02 |
jose | it's a naming issue | Feb 02 20:02 |
MinceR | indeed, we know what we're talking about and you don't | Feb 02 20:02 |

GoblinRFD | just how he knows so much and why he felt the need to confess for Andre I think you can draw your own inference from. | Feb 02 20:06 |
jose | all dirt known about ms helps anyone (unfortunately) doing business with them in negotiating terms (ie, it will take longer for them to get screwed) | Feb 02 20:06 |
GoblinRFD | Its good to see that MS is trying to find out who I am | Feb 02 20:07 |
schestowitz | Apple users sometimes know Apple sucks ethically | Feb 02 20:07 |
schestowitz | Like you know that the Linus Foundation (kernel foundation I'd call them) has its defects | Feb 02 20:07 |
schestowitz | But I don't really attack them because I like their work | Feb 02 20:07 |
GoblinRFD | I had hidden many ID's for them to find, just so I could tell how deeply they were looking. Theyve found the easy one.... | Feb 02 20:08 |
schestowitz | Microsoft is dumping 'free' software on the Philippines to suppress Free software adoption: http://boycottnovell.com/2009/02/02/p... | Feb 02 20:10 |
schestowitz | GoblinRFD: whose IDs? | Feb 02 20:10 |
schestowitz | Turfers? | Feb 02 20:10 |
GoblinRFD | ah.... | Feb 02 20:10 |
amd-linux | good evening | Feb 02 20:11 |
GoblinRFD | no id's for me.....to see if MS or its shillers were trying to find out who I am | Feb 02 20:11 |
GoblinRFD | they've already quoted one which they thought was me. | Feb 02 20:11 |
amd-linux | just to let you know that you now can get a netbook for 149 euros here in Germany | Feb 02 20:11 |
amd-linux | of course it comes with Linux | Feb 02 20:11 |
GoblinRFD | The fools actually believed that Ramasees Niblick was my real name..... | Feb 02 20:11 |
amd-linux | just because I read this story of the 8 USD Indian netbook | Feb 02 20:12 |
schestowitz | GoblinRFD: if you know their shills and nyms, add them to here: http://boycottnovell.com/wiki/inde... | Feb 02 20:12 |
GoblinRFD | unfortunately for them, its actually the name of a mad robot called Gilbert who changed his name (Red Dwarf) | Feb 02 20:12 |
schestowitz | amd-linux: : I don't know. They'd have to snub patents and do it all in India/China | Feb 02 20:13 |
GoblinRFD | Ill need to speak with my contact first.....I have a great one coming up. | Feb 02 20:13 |

amd-linux | but is this cheap netbook really available? | Feb 02 20:13 |
amd-linux | this one here is for real and they are planing to sell it via amazon too | Feb 02 20:13 |

amd-linux | the hardware | Feb 02 20:15 |
amd-linux | but it is question of time when we will see sub 100 Euro netbooks | Feb 02 20:15 |
amd-linux | breaking this barrier means MS has to come up with some really nice "incentives" | Feb 02 20:16 |

amd-linux | roy u sure that all the page impressions are actually users? | Feb 02 20:19 |
schestowitz | That's where they sell the premium processors ($$$). It's also why the main wars are over CPUs desktops don't need (quad and octas) | Feb 02 20:20 |
amd-linux | I mean could be search engines, bots whatever? | Feb 02 20:20 |
schestowitz | amd-linux: yes, I see what they are | Feb 02 20:20 |
schestowitz | amd-linux: some are, on the db | Feb 02 20:20 |
amd-linux | I had many hits from blog spam bots | Feb 02 20:21 |
schestowitz | About 1 GB a day is consumed by SEs | Feb 02 20:21 |
schestowitz | amd-linux: I had those too in schestowitz.com | Feb 02 20:21 |
amd-linux | one server in switzerland flooded me - obviously taken over | Feb 02 20:21 |

amd-linux | when I fear an intrusion, I just replay a VM snapshot | Feb 02 20:25 |
schestowitz | Groklaw made a DB-friendly front page to reduce load. The FP in BN does like 100 DB queries per load. | Feb 02 20:25 |
amd-linux | and import the backup from WP | Feb 02 20:26 |
schestowitz | amd-linux: personal or corporate site? | Feb 02 20:26 |
schestowitz | BN is not mission-critical | Feb 02 20:26 |

amd-linux | personal .... | Feb 02 20:26 |
schestowitz | I'll make backups more often now... every few hours. | Feb 02 20:27 |
amd-linux | heck, you produce an article every few hours - you need to backup more often :-) | Feb 02 20:27 |
-Martinp23-[Global Notice] Hi folks! Earlier one of our leaf (client) servers had a few connection issues. This was due to latency issues on the sponsor's network. Fortunately, the sponsor now reports that the problems have been resolved and so everything is back to normal. We're very sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for using freenode and have a nice day! | Feb 02 20:28 |

schestowitz | I'm among the early WordPress-Hackers | Feb 02 20:30 |

amd-linux | Drupal is quite complex, with all the plugins you need | Feb 02 20:30 |
amd-linux | cracked yes | Feb 02 20:30 |
schestowitz | Yikes | Feb 02 20:31 |
schestowitz | Linux | Feb 02 20:31 |
schestowitz | ? | Feb 02 20:31 |
amd-linux | we discussed in in the Ubuntu forums | Feb 02 20:31 |
schestowitz | Up to date? | Feb 02 20:31 |
amd-linux | Not drupal, but I think it was an SQL injection | Feb 02 20:31 |
schestowitz | Are you amdlinux from LT and GL? | Feb 02 20:31 |
amd-linux | low level access | Feb 02 20:31 |

amd-linux | haha fake Linus | Feb 02 20:34 |
schestowitz | Real Slim Shady | Feb 02 20:35 |
amd-linux | but thats why I use nick - it is harder when somebody uses your real name... | Feb 02 20:35 |

amd-linux | story got dugg, got spread and 2 weeks later the site was infested.... Ubuntu server, Drupal | Feb 02 21:37 |

jose | the data that defines the state of the system (or how it was put there) is something that you get with foss | Feb 02 21:44 |

jose | and much less if those tools only have gui interfaces | Feb 02 21:45 |
schestowitz | I think Compiz is eating away one of my cores.. something eats up resources | Feb 02 21:45 |

schestowitz | I see more of the propaganda in the news. Theme: "Microsoft is growing" | Feb 02 22:02 |
schestowitz | Reason: recent layoffs .. must use damage control for the illusion that Microsoft will still be there in the future. | Feb 02 22:02 |
jose | [to finish with earlier "data" monolog].. | Feb 02 22:03 |
jose | foss doesn't have to leave a trail, but it's open so you can ascertain that.. generally, bunches of apps/servers leave extensive logs and configuration/automation is text based.. or at least in a format that is open (matched by the source). | Feb 02 22:04 |
