| twitter | I'll have a look at the juvenile thing. | Feb 10 01:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But my theory is that people are given this noation of idols in general for bad reasons, RMS too. | Feb 10 02:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The idea of celebrities and the way they are sold to the public as models is one that's to do with controlling minds and feelings. Celebrities are then used to tell people how to behave, what to buy, etc | Feb 10 02:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | [H]omer_ no longer agrees with everything RMS says and at times neither do I | Feb 10 02:01 |
|---|
| twitter | RMS is smeared because what he says threatens small minded people. No two people agree about everything but a lot of what RMS has done is worth emulating. | Feb 10 02:01 |
|---|
| twitter | I rank him with Thomas Jefferson - a leader who clearly articulated rights of men at great personal risk and cost. | Feb 10 02:02 |
|---|
| twitter | RMS's free software rights are a non obvious extension of natural rights. | Feb 10 02:02 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, they are means to goals | Feb 10 02:03 |
|---|
| twitter | They are also rights in and of themselves. People have to take them away from you by force. | Feb 10 02:03 |

|---|
| schestowitz | It gets worse | Feb 10 02:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | When I came to think of it, for many decades things improved | Feb 10 02:07 |
|---|
| twitter | ? | Feb 10 02:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The past decade was degradation of rights in most places | Feb 10 02:07 |
|---|
| twitter | yes | Feb 10 02:08 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Return to medival ages and barbarism | Feb 10 02:08 |

| twitter | Byfield, " Another myth-buster: Stallman starts by being polite when you talk to him. Nor is he humorless." Duh. Only trolls say he's rude like that. The man is full of good natured fun. | Feb 10 02:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Well, it *is* an emergency when one is violently colonialising the whole world only to find that people don't like being stomped on, so they fight back. | Feb 10 02:09 |
|---|
| twitter | Byfield, "Stallman would probably be a difficult man to get to know under any circumstances." LOL, if you can't get to know someone through their writing, I'm not sure what you consider "knowing someone" Stallman is one of the most self documented and consistent people on the planet. | Feb 10 02:17 |
|---|
| twitter | Byfield, " it is hard for a casual observer like me to say where the public man ends and the private one begins." He's looking for contradictions and can't find any - that's why he has to repeat a bunch of tired stereotypes. | Feb 10 02:18 |
|---|
| twitter | The "war on terrorism" was used to sneak 1984 onto people. | Feb 10 02:19 |
|---|
| twitter | surveillance, language changes, militarism and a decline in education - these are all attacks on freedom. | Feb 10 02:20 |
|---|
| twitter | The worst attacks have been the murder and intimidation of journalists. | Feb 10 02:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | People are asleep at the wheel | Feb 10 02:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | twitter: yes, that too | Feb 10 02:21 |
|---|
| twitter | The press has been intimidated but many people are not sleeping. They have been vocal but unheard. Look at Jimmy Carter and his book about "Apartheid" in Israel. He was reduced to a stage wave for the Democratic National Convention. | Feb 10 02:23 |
|---|
| twitter | His message is too at odds with the toxic crap poured over the airwaves to present. | Feb 10 02:24 |
|---|
| twitter | Yet there he is, writing books and talking to anyone who will listen. | Feb 10 02:24 |
|---|
| schestowitz | There's nothing but agenda there. | Feb 10 02:24 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But whose is served? | Feb 10 02:24 |
|---|
| twitter | Arms producers, religious fanatics. | Feb 10 02:25 |
|---|
| twitter | People who exploit Palestinians as slave labor for their subsidized industry. | Feb 10 02:25 |
|---|
| twitter | There are other, less ugly places where freedom has been chipped away but the result will be just as ugly in the end. Once you are stripped of your rights, people can and will abuse you all the more. | Feb 10 02:31 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, all the same under the sun, but everyone says "We're the good guys" (like Microsoft) | Feb 10 02:31 |
|---|
| twitter | How good or bad people are is written in their licenses. What they demand is more important than what they say. | Feb 10 02:32 |

| balzac | Roy, that's what I'm talking about when I say the highest number of concurrent users + the highest level of interactivity | Feb 10 03:55 |
|---|
| balzac | Everyone single person wrote one of the lyrics got 200+ diggs | Feb 10 03:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Digg effect >> /. effect | Feb 10 03:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Been the case for a while actually. | Feb 10 03:56 |
|---|
| balzac | slashdot screwed up their ratings system | Feb 10 03:56 |
|---|
| mib_oks35h | have a look at this: http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/davak/2005/1... | Feb 10 03:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But it's page dependent, story dependent, time dependent, etc. | Feb 10 03:56 |
|---|
| balzac | I could have told cowboyneal that up or down voting is where it's at | Feb 10 03:56 |
|---|
| balzac | slashdot's rating system is too complicated | Feb 10 03:57 |
|---|
| balzac | Digg's I find a bit more simple than neccessary | Feb 10 03:57 |
|---|
| balzac | why not reveal the names of every up or down digg? | Feb 10 03:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "The digg effect is much less on a weekend. " | Feb 10 03:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | True dat. | Feb 10 03:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | balzac: in some sites they do | Feb 10 03:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Drigg does this | Feb 10 03:57 |
|---|
| balzac | I just saw a pic of Kevin Rose chillin with Bill Gates | Feb 10 03:58 |
|---|
| mib_oks35h | can you see who voted up or down on slashdot? | Feb 10 03:58 |
|---|
| balzac | Drigg is great, but the developer is disillusioned with Drupal politics | Feb 10 03:58 |
|---|
| balzac | mib_oks35h: not sure, but you can on DailyKos | Feb 10 03:58 |
|---|
| balzac | too bad it's just a fund-raising "free speech zone" | Feb 10 03:59 |
|---|
| balzac | Drigg is awesome but Tony Mobily, (editor of FreeSoftwareMagazine.com) got disillusioned with Drupal because some obnoxious people were too eager to have their way. | Feb 10 03:59 |

| balzac | And his message is set to expire, conveniently erasing the record of his smear campaign. | Feb 10 04:05 |

| schestowitz | So this guy had external forces trying to ruin him.. how typical in fascism, eh? :-) | Feb 10 04:05 |

| schestowitz | BN has been pretty troll-free for the past 2 weeks. They come in bursts. But people keep suggesting moderation, not realising that the moment censorship is embraced is the moment we get slammed for it, too. | Feb 10 10:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Suggestion made by someone: "I really wish you would just dump the shills from BN. IMHO all those false negative comments on the site puts it in a bad light. It's different if you receive a critical response directly from de Icaza, but these unknown anonymous shills astroturfing BN with their spewage makes it look as though the vast majority of people disagree with your assertions, whereas in reality it's only a handful of..." | Feb 10 10:23 |

| schestowitz | I mistakenly did not disable comments. | Feb 10 10:47 |

| schestowitz | So some people lose their comments that they try posting. | Feb 10 10:47 |

| schestowitz | One says: "You're a hero man. Keep fighting." | Feb 10 10:48 |

| schestowitz | I'm doing 2 more COmes posts ATM. | Feb 10 10:48 |

| schestowitz | It fails for you? | Feb 10 11:02 |

|---|
| schestowitz | Oh, I see.... | Feb 10 11:02 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I forgot to monitor it | Feb 10 11:03 |
|---|
| oiaohm | so far they appear and disappear. | Feb 10 11:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Thanks. What do they say? | Feb 10 11:04 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Just wp could not connect to mysql for some odd reason. | Feb 10 11:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Oh, that happens sometimes. | Feb 10 11:06 |

|---|
| oiaohm | If it was not normal for current load investagation was needed. | Feb 10 11:07 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yes its a real sign wp and mysql are getting stressed a little too much. | Feb 10 11:07 |

| jose_X | but you were giving options and I wasn't sure if what you meant | Feb 10 13:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's one server. | Feb 10 13:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I used cache, but it's not helping much at the moment | Feb 10 13:48 |
|---|
| schestowitz | We turn away many visitors who could know about MS-Intel slime | Feb 10 13:48 |
|---|
| jose_X | do you Host Your Own(tm) | Feb 10 13:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No, it's a host | Feb 10 13:49 |
|---|
| jose_X | ok | Feb 10 13:49 |
|---|
| jose_X | what a shame.. i wanted to get back to that thread now .... [baby will eventually stop pouting] | Feb 10 13:50 |

| schestowitz | Blogging Hits Crossroads: A-Listers Giving Up < http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2009/02/10/bl... > | Feb 10 13:52 |
|---|
| jose_X | roy, i'm getting the page but it is taking a while to receive all of it. | Feb 10 13:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Cool! | Feb 10 13:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | :-) | Feb 10 13:54 |
|---|
| jose_X | hip hip... | Feb 10 13:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | At least it ain't dead. | Feb 10 13:54 |
|---|
| jose_X | it's alive | Feb 10 13:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | jose_X: don't hammer on it | Feb 10 13:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Let me explain why | Feb 10 13:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I said it here before | Feb 10 13:55 |
|---|
| jose_X | left off with your comment of almost 2 hours ago | Feb 10 13:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | When we get overloaded (thousands+ visitt/hour) I cache the pages hit most | Feb 10 13:55 |
|---|
| jose_X | i won't hammer on it.. i know enough to give up after a bit so as not to aggravate | Feb 10 13:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | When you visit 'sidal' pages then you don't land on cache | Feb 10 13:55 |
|---|
| jose_X | sidal? | Feb 10 13:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Sort of. | Feb 10 13:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So whatever is left of the resources is used up by non-Diggers | Feb 10 13:56 |
|---|
| jose_X | what does sidal mean? | Feb 10 13:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I still don't know what 'tiled' the server out of control | Feb 10 13:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Like side-related... it's not a woird | Feb 10 13:56 |
|---|
| jose_X | ok | Feb 10 13:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I took it from Seinfeld | Feb 10 13:56 |
|---|
| jose_X | i'm laughing at the construction | Feb 10 13:56 |
|---|
| MinceR | ew, seinfeld | Feb 10 13:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | When George says "sidal nudity" | Feb 10 13:57 |
|---|
| jose_X | makes sense | Feb 10 13:57 |
|---|
| jose_X | sort of | Feb 10 13:57 |
|---|
| MinceR | nudal sidity? | Feb 10 13:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | :-) | Feb 10 13:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Sounds almost like nudal sodomy or something | Feb 10 13:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yay | Feb 10 13:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I can get to the cache via Digg | Feb 10 13:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's where the heaps of witnesses come at the moment | Feb 10 13:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Funny thing is, many sites think of visitors as customers | Feb 10 13:59 |
|---|
| MinceR | btw, how do you measure the number of visitors/hits when you rely on CoralCDN? | Feb 10 14:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I just think of visitors as power to drive change. If they are better informed, then as you find in Digg comments, they loudly call for the EU commission to put the handcuffs on Microsoft. | Feb 10 14:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's what we need... | Feb 10 14:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | MinceR: I can't, that's the thing. | Feb 10 14:00 |
|---|
| MinceR | ic | Feb 10 14:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | TBH, I don't care much | Feb 10 14:00 |

| schestowitz | Is ma.comcast Massachusetts? is MA Massachusetts or can it be Maine? | Feb 10 14:29 |

| schestowitz | "I hope intel moves to linux for chip design. Also, Microsoft should be afraid of linux, just this year i move almost my entire family to linux and they love it and like it better than windows. and if my grandma likes it better than windows then Intel should have no problems making the switch" | Feb 10 14:32 |

| jose_X | roy, from that a-list blogging going down link: "The weak, those whose prime devotion is getting rich, getting famous, getting laid, or getting approval will be culled. In the end, as in the beginning, it’s about purity and (some type of) artistic integrity." | Feb 10 14:35 |

| jose_X | ma is mass | Feb 10 14:36 |
|---|
| jose_X | me is maine | Feb 10 14:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | OK | Feb 10 14:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Cause I think you're arguing with a neighbour of Novell Inc. | Feb 10 14:37 |
|---|
| jose_X | yeah, probably | Feb 10 14:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Some of the comments we get are actually from novel.com (i.e. people sit there in Novell headwuarters and mess about with Boycott Novell rather than get actual work done)./ | Feb 10 14:38 |
|---|
| jose_X | intel should have no probs making the switch.. lol | Feb 10 14:38 |
|---|
| jose_X | because of grandma | Feb 10 14:38 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You can teach grandma to hack on CAD designs :-) | Feb 10 14:38 |
|---|
| jose_X | i'm looking for the license file in gcc | Feb 10 14:39 |
|---|
| jose_X | was downloading.. now am opening up the bzip2 | Feb 10 14:39 |
|---|
| twitter | heh, I know a gradma that used to hike TNT under her school uniform. | Feb 10 14:39 |

| schestowitz | http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html | Feb 10 14:39 |
|---|
| schestowitz | wget one | Feb 10 14:40 |
|---|
| jose_X | nevermind.. it's still downloading | Feb 10 14:40 |
|---|
| jose_X | wget about halfway | Feb 10 14:40 |
|---|
| jose_X | looked briefly but didn't find a web version of each page | Feb 10 14:41 |
|---|
| jose_X | so downloading the whole bundle | Feb 10 14:41 |
|---|
| jose_X | 62% done | Feb 10 14:41 |
|---|
| jose_X | the moonlight folks are confused | Feb 10 14:41 |
|---|
| jose_X | but then they said that gcc and others do the same thing.. | Feb 10 14:41 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I found it funny when "O'Brian" said that he was not a programmer | Feb 10 14:41 |
|---|
| jose_X | so I am going to check | Feb 10 14:41 |
|---|
| jose_X | he said that | Feb 10 14:41 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He insisted that he shortly took some night school or something | Feb 10 14:42 |
|---|
| schestowitz | There are things that are dubious there. | Feb 10 14:42 |
|---|
| jose_X | sure, whatever | Feb 10 14:42 |
|---|
| twitter | Who does No'Brain claim to be? | Feb 10 14:42 |

| jose_X | sometimes it's difficult to say who has what experience.. surely he understands some things | Feb 10 14:42 |

|---|
| jose_X | have you heard of Linux | Feb 10 14:43 |
|---|
| jose_X | ;-) | Feb 10 14:44 |
|---|
| twitter | yes, but the M$ Astroturfers usually have their head buried in the sphincter known as Visual Studio or some other nasty Bill Gates gave them. | Feb 10 14:44 |
|---|
| twitter | A few are starting to show free software clues. | Feb 10 14:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The server goes mad again. | Feb 10 14:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Hold on | Feb 10 14:45 |
|---|
| jose_X | it wasn't me | Feb 10 14:45 |
|---|
| jose_X | :-) | Feb 10 14:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'll rerirect to cache | Feb 10 14:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Google cache | Feb 10 14:46 |

| schestowitz | twitter: he doesn't claim to be anything. He was asked half a dozen times and then declined | Feb 10 14:47 |

| twitter | Did you see the Google, M$ patent nonsense this morning? | Feb 10 14:50 |
|---|
| twitter | About sync? | Feb 10 14:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The MSBBC carries two paopganda pieces for net censorhip this morning: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7880772.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7... | Feb 10 14:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | twitter: I didn't see that, no. | Feb 10 14:50 |
|---|
| twitter | Google it. Gozallez and other trolls are making a big deal about Google "needing" M$ patents to sync with Exchange - claiming it shows the value of M$ IP. | Feb 10 14:51 |

| jose_X | value of ms IP .. hah... you mean the monopoly stupidity of the patent office | Feb 10 14:52 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | If google gets everyone onto there mail system why will compaines bother building for MS support any more. | Feb 10 14:52 |
|---|
| twitter | My Visor has been able to do two way sync with M$ shit for ten years, no patents required. | Feb 10 14:52 |

| twitter | It did better with KDE, again no patents required. | Feb 10 14:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It really drains hours of time each time BN makes Digg's FP. I guess it's worth the investment of time, but had we had a better sevrer...... | Feb 10 14:53 |
|---|
| *mib_og7w6v has quit (Client Quit) | Feb 10 14:53 |
| schestowitz | twitter: sounds typical. They also do this with Scalix and maybe Novell too. | Feb 10 14:53 |

|---|
| schestowitz | To Microsoft, there are two leverage points here; i) makes the competition more expensive; ii) make MS richer | Feb 10 14:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | This is extortion obscured as "innovation" | Feb 10 14:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Which Microsoft knows nothing about unless it's innovative stealing. The company built itself copying ideas and stealing staff | Feb 10 14:56 |
