The gist was that the companies [12:04] Techrights-sec usually filed a crap application to delay the offiial granting of the patent. [12:04] Techrights-sec The idea there is that the monopoly starts with the first application, but since [12:04] Techrights-sec it gets rejected, the clock does not start ticking. So that kind of delay [12:04] Techrights-sec added two to three years to the life of the patent. [12:04] schestowitz-TR priority [12:04] schestowitz-TR date [12:13] Techrights-sec The only part I understood clearly was that the delay was intentional to [12:13] Techrights-sec extend the life of the patent. The rest was administrivia and opaque. [12:13] schestowitz-TR it's an absoloute shit system, and it's getting worse every year because of the lobbying and lack of public awareness (kept in the dark by fake 'media') [12:27] Techrights-sec There's not much to say about the media except that there is only a small [12:27] Techrights-sec fraction of journalists now compared to past decades. Of those that remain, [12:27] Techrights-sec most are on the payroll of conflicting interests. [12:27] Techrights-sec One trend which we discussed briefly recently is the proliferation of fake [12:27] Techrights-sec local news sites. They pretend to be local but are owned by large corporations [12:27] Techrights-sec and in particular large corporations with a very pronounced agenda. These [12:27] Techrights-sec kinds of sites have been posting a huge number of articles lately about [12:27] Techrights-sec FOSS and GNU/Linux. I don't know if the idea is to lift the credibility of the [12:27] Techrights-sec sites with that or to degrade the credibility of FOSS etc through association [12:27] Techrights-sec with drivel. [12:29] schestowitz-TR wait, we don't agree on this. The fake "local news" site I see are plagiarism farms, mostly run from India for ads pushing, not owned by large corporations afaict... no doubt though, between Microsoft googlebombing and this "hey hi"-generated spam it's becoming hard to find actual news on the topic in the spamfarm known as www [12:29] schestowitz-TR *sites [12:31] schestowitz-TR side note: phoronix quit the microsoft spam this past week; Michael changed his tune... I think he took note of the backlack [12:31] schestowitz-TR *blowback [12:32] schestowitz-TR side note: [12:32] schestowitz-TR we have amassed enough data [12:32] schestowitz-TR and software tools [12:32] schestowitz-TR that I suspect we can make more tools for mining that data and deriving from it news, either archives or almost real-time [12:33] schestowitz-TR maybe as a future projects, I do have some ideas, but it's not our main focus anyway [12:54] *altlink_b6f has quit (connection closed) [12:54] *altlink_668 (~altlink_668@2f7u5j6f87p9g.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Nov 21 [13:20] Techrights-sec It's a possibility but I'd need more details of the desired results. ● Nov 21 [14:08] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Nov 21 [15:38] *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Nov 21 [17:00] *qa2 has quit (connection closed) [17:00] *tech_exorcist (~tech_exorcist@tmxva75vz7vgk.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [17:24] *tech_exorcist has quit (Quit: see you tomorrow) ● Nov 21 [18:07] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Nov 21 [19:12] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@tcbkwfigyqq6g.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [19:28] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:57] *qa2 (~sid145515@frp6gv52kp9fi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Nov 21 [20:06] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [20:32] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@tx2qm6b563642.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [20:35] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [20:43] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@md4qjms3ivgsn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Nov 21 [21:38] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
