That’s the stable 1.3. branch, I think |

Feb 09 02:13 |

I have the pages impacted cached |
Feb 09 02:13 |

yeah, ‘ I know that in your Linux bubble you’re trained to think that Linux / Open Source is the end-all be-all of software innovation, but I’ve never seen Linux do anything original … That’s what happens when you have thousands of technically capable engineers and zero creativity, vision, or direction.’ |

Linux kernel itself is not really the of innovation. |
Feb 09 11:56 |
oiaohm |
Its more taking the great ideas of all OS’s and merging them into 1 kernel. |
Feb 09 11:56 |
oiaohm |
Now if MS did that more they might have not stuffed up there real time support in there kernel. |
Feb 09 11:57 |
oiaohm |
Is my normal answer to that. |
Feb 09 11:57 |
schestowitz |
Microsoft claims it owns Linux. |
Feb 09 11:57 |
oiaohm |
Solarias would have a larger claim. |
Feb 09 11:57 |
oiaohm |
Thinking most of the great bits are clones of there system. |
Feb 09 11:58 |
schestowitz |
Do they have patents on UNIX systems? |
Feb 09 11:58 |
schestowitz |
I mean, they sure do |
Feb 09 11:58 |
schestowitz |
ZFS patents.. makes you wonder about Linux filesystems inc. btrfs |
Feb 09 11:58 |
oiaohm |
Yes they do but only used against people dumb enough to patent attack them. |
Feb 09 11:58 |
oiaohm |
Sun also has most of the key patents to make motherboards. |
Feb 09 11:59 |
oiaohm |
If Sun was not patent friendly you would not have the computer you are now typing on. |
Feb 09 11:59 |
oiaohm |
Sun friendlyness has got them unstuck a lot. |
Feb 09 12:01 |

ZiggyFish |
what to say to this: |
Feb 09 12:04 |
ZiggyFish |
Rag on it all you want, even though you haven’t used it and know nothing about it. The market will prove Windows 7 to be Microsoft’s most successful release since Windows 95. It is the nail in the coffin for Linux on netbooks, the one in-road that Linux had and utterly wasted. |
Feb 09 12:04 |
schestowitz |
Well, I wish they well mostly. |
Feb 09 12:04 |
schestowitz |
ZiggyFish: that’s called “Slog” |
Feb 09 12:04 |

Linux is unkillable. |
Feb 09 12:05 |

Even in 07′ it lasted for a while, but /REAL/ users were bitching enough to force Microsoft into the corner. |
Feb 09 12:05 |
oiaohm |
Is Windows 7 going to be embeded in Bios |
Feb 09 12:05 |
schestowitz |
In early 2008 even gates and Ballmer gave up on pretense. |
Feb 09 12:05 |
oiaohm |
Linux is going to be by the time 7 gets released. |
Feb 09 12:05 |
oiaohm |
So its here to stay. |
Feb 09 12:05 |
schestowitz |
oiaohm: they wanted to |
Feb 09 12:05 |
schestowitz |
They didn’t manage of course |
Feb 09 12:05 |

Just more vapourware |
Feb 09 12:06 |

Feb 09 12:06 |
schestowitz |
Or other features that they /promised/ (to create a mythical image of an OS) |
Feb 09 12:06 |
oiaohm |
Issue here Linux wants MS fighting on motherboard embeded. |
Feb 09 12:06 |
oiaohm |
There we can kick the crap out of MS. |
Feb 09 12:06 |

It’s happening already |

Also motherboard makers want to audit source code embeded. |
Feb 09 12:09 |

Basically Linux next wave of attack. Embeded in motherboard expanding there feature sets. |
Feb 09 12:09 |

You can already hack vista password from asus splashtops. |

Feb 09 12:10 |

Feb 09 12:10 |

Issue here its not winning as such. |
Feb 09 12:10 |

Its cutting MS profit lines. |
Feb 09 12:10 |

they already are fighting all-out |

Issue with Linux is that it does not have that many weakness. |
Feb 09 12:12 |

what’s a word to discribe the deals that Microsoft has with OEM? |
Feb 09 12:12 |
oiaohm |
most of those deals are craking. |
Feb 09 12:13 |
oiaohm |
Embed on motherboard saves having to teach back yarders how to install there first Linux too. |
Feb 09 12:14 |

Collusion? |
Feb 09 12:14 |
schestowitz |
Blackmail? (using margins as a bargaining card) |
Feb 09 12:14 |
schestowitz |
oiaohm: yes, agreed. |
Feb 09 12:14 |
oiaohm |
Also splashtop works as advertising to get people asking questions. |
Feb 09 12:15 |
oiaohm |
Beos failed because it really could not get it self in the markets face. |
Feb 09 12:15 |
MinceR |
it also helps inflate installed base numbers :> |
Feb 09 12:15 |
schestowitz |
oiaohm: no, illegal tactics |
Feb 09 12:16 |

Feb 09 12:17 |
oiaohm |
You cannot really threaten them Because without them you don’t have a market. |
Feb 09 12:17 |
MinceR |
they might threaten OEMs to not use mainboards from such manufacturers |
Feb 09 12:18 |
MinceR |
as long as there’s a choice |
Feb 09 12:18 |

See ¶¶13.-141 |
Feb 09 12:18 |

Linux embeded on motherboards. |
Feb 09 12:18 |
oiaohm |
So threating OEMs don’t remove it. |
Feb 09 12:18 |

OEMs decide what mainboard to put into their computers |

Feb 09 12:19 |
MinceR |
most of the market is prebuilt PCs, isn’t it? |
Feb 09 12:19 |
oiaohm |
Still people buy them with the most features. |
Feb 09 12:19 |
ZiggyFish |
does IBM’s installable file system (IFS) work in kernel or userspace? |
Feb 09 12:19 |
oiaohm |
If a dell has a feature the other one does at the same cost you buy the dell. |
Feb 09 12:19 |
oiaohm |
Opps left out a not |
Feb 09 12:20 |
MinceR |
m$ can manipulate costs though |
Feb 09 12:20 |

MS can manipulate costs to there advantage or to there harm. |

I’ll do the next smoking gun shortly.. but needs caching… It’s a matter of necessity. VPS would be expensive, so use distributed cache to handle the load (we deliver over 30k pages/day from only one quad-core server). |

Thanks, I think we can organise information better. Also, time permits this now because I offload some academic workloads. |
Feb 09 13:04 |

There is hardly any news because the whole industry enters “brace” mode < http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/ar… >. This leaves room for creativity (things are otherwise static). |

By restarting and changing the dominate OS MinceR at moment. |
Feb 09 13:06 |

4 years ago MATLAB approached me to suggest that I write a book, but it pretty much just serves them, the company, which makes non-Free software. But anyway, that was then when I was busy with the PhD. Times have changed. |
Feb 09 13:07 |

and for DRI2, the proprietary drivers would need to be changed, right? |

has anyone, ever, in the world, managed to install the blight upon IT known as virtualbox from source? |
Feb 09 16:29 |
twitter |
no, I just use the debian package |
Feb 09 16:30 |
MinceR |
well, the newest OSE package i have for this machine contains a bug in the kernel module that corrupts memory and crashes the system |
Feb 09 16:30 |
MinceR |
it’s typical sun “open source”, i guess |
Feb 09 16:31 |
twitter |
ah, you might do better fixing the kernel module. |
Feb 09 16:31 |
MinceR |
“you can have the source but we’ll be damned if you’ll ever get any use from it!” |
Feb 09 16:31 |
MinceR |
or i might do better learning KVM and reinstalling my VMs there |
Feb 09 16:31 |

I doubt the problem is intentional, unless M$ put a mole in. |

Feb 09 16:36 |
MinceR |
where this stupid bug is supposed to be fixed |
Feb 09 16:36 |
MinceR |
i’ve compiled it |
Feb 09 16:36 |
MinceR |
but there’s no way to install it or to make a binary package |
Feb 09 16:36 |
MinceR |
so all i have is a pile of binaries in some directories with no information about where they should be put |
Feb 09 16:37 |
MinceR |
there’s a debian/ directory in the tarball but i don’t know what to do with it |
Feb 09 16:37 |
MinceR |
i think the trick is that only the initiated can install it |
Feb 09 16:37 |
MinceR |
so anyone can have the source but it’s useless |
Feb 09 16:38 |

I think I understand that part. What do you want Virtualbox to do for you? |

“Dear IETF: There appears to be a show-stopper in draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.txt https://datatracker.ietf.org/idtracker/ballot/2081/ It appears that the proposed standard is patent-encumbered.” |
Feb 09 21:10 |
schestowitz |
“1) This violates the EU definition of open standard; 2) It hinders, and in some cases, prevents *use*, and use is what standards are about. So as such it threatens to impair e-commerce and general web security; 3) It puts the IETF in a bad light to have allowed an apparently patent encumbered payload to get so far along in the standards discussion” |
Feb 09 21:10 |
schestowitz |
“The solution is to remove any items claimed to be patented, or else follow the EU’s requirements for open standard and put in writing that there are no constraints on re-use. Grant the copyright and patents irrevocably, royalty-free for implementation, use and distribution.” |
