oiaohm | If you are given legal notice over something and you decide to throw it in bin don't cry to a person to me. | May 27 10:52 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: yes, that's the big question | May 27 10:52 |
schestowitz | Takedown | May 27 10:52 |
schestowitz | For that there can be litigation | May 27 10:53 |
schestowitz | But they broaden it | May 27 10:53 |
oiaohm | Takedown notices were sent to them. | May 27 10:53 |
schestowitz | What about Google? | May 27 10:53 |
oiaohm | They joked about them. | May 27 10:53 |
schestowitz | I think they obey requests | May 27 10:53 |
oiaohm | Not something you do and not expect being hammered. | May 27 10:53 |
oiaohm | They obey. | May 27 10:53 |
oiaohm | So are protected under the safe harbour rules. | May 27 10:53 |
oiaohm | There are other bittorrent trackers that obey too. | May 27 10:54 |
oiaohm | Again protected by safe harbour rules. | May 27 10:54 |
schestowitz | It's a tough battle | May 27 10:54 |
oiaohm | Ie you are not a illegal harbour if you will take actions gainst things that are illegally using your harbour. | May 27 10:54 |
schestowitz | Many won't issue takedown demands | May 27 10:54 |
schestowitz | The whole idea of policing sharing is ludicrous only for practical reasons | May 27 10:55 |
oiaohm | TPB could have avoided this mess by processing the takedowns ineffectively. | May 27 10:55 |
oiaohm | Like the other bittorrent trackers do. | May 27 10:55 |
oiaohm | Other trackers remove the link but provide no filtering to block it being put up again. | May 27 10:56 |
oiaohm | So obeying the rules of safe harbour. | May 27 10:56 |
oiaohm | Basically sub your nose at the law don't be suprised if the law drops on you. | May 27 10:57 |
oiaohm | From simple legal fact there is no way TPB could win there case. | May 27 10:58 |
oiaohm | Problem with disgrading things like takedown notices. Is that online takedown notices are the same as defect notices a car seller can give you. Losing risks spreeding into the real world. | May 27 11:00 |
oiaohm | The ones behind TPB at best should get off with a really strict warning. Ie if you ever dare disreguard a takedown notice you will be hung. | May 27 11:03 |
tacone | schestowitz: no, they linked softpedia :) | May 27 11:06 |
schestowitz | Yes | May 27 11:06 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: agreed, but the trial was fueled with bias | May 27 11:06 |
schestowitz | So sentencing might need changing | May 27 11:06 |
oiaohm | Here providing links is just as illegal as hosting content. | May 27 11:06 |
oiaohm | If you fail to obey takedown notices. | May 27 11:07 |
oiaohm | The legal chain reactions is why I could never support TPB winning there case. | May 27 11:08 |

schestowitz | "On Friday the servers of Clear Channel, part of a huge conglomerate that provides billboard advertising to the BNP, suffered a similar attack. Their IT professionals tracked the criminal activity back to a notorious "anti-fascist" organisation openly aligned to the Labour Party and supported by the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats." | May 27 11:16 |
schestowitz | "As a consequence of the criminal actions against Clear Channel we understand that their legal team is currently in the process of issuing writs against the perpetrators which as well as civil actions will involve the possibility of potential criminal charges including racketeering." | May 27 11:17 |
schestowitz | "The BNP's Darby said it had reported its suspicions about the attack to MI5 and the police, actions only likely to result in a charge of wasting police time, according to Searchlight." | May 27 11:18 |

oiaohm | peer to patent is really the wrong way. Why is it not required when appling for a patent to do a prior art search and if prior art is found all income from patent has to be returned. | May 27 12:48 |
oiaohm | So making patents not that profitable. | May 27 12:48 |
MinceR | add an interest rate or it still will be profitable. | May 27 12:50 |
oiaohm | MinceR: the hassel of not being able to use the money for like 20 years MinceR | May 27 12:50 |
oiaohm | Because in that time prior art might be found then you might have to pay it all back. | May 27 12:51 |
MinceR | you could still invest it. | May 27 12:51 |
oiaohm | What if there is never a freeing year. | May 27 12:51 |

oiaohm | Then think one of the compainies with arm you might be going head to head with is Nokia MinceR. Rebranding only gets you so far. MinceR. Arm market device markers are highly competitive. | May 27 14:48 |

oiaohm | As arm kicks into gear 100 USD netbooks should really appear. | May 27 14:50 |
MinceR | then they could buy the chipset designer company. | May 27 14:50 |
MinceR | even bring out their own ARM CPU. | May 27 14:51 |
oiaohm | All the firms that work with arm chips are doing better than ASUS for money. | May 27 14:51 |
oiaohm | ASUS either need to find a higher end market or get a lot of new staff and pray. | May 27 14:52 |
oiaohm | So far they look to be taking the plan of getting higher end market. | May 27 14:52 |
MinceR | doing well is one thing, having lots of capital is another. | May 27 14:52 |

schestowitz | Blod headline: Kiwis give Microsoft the finger < http://www.itwire.com/content/view/25274/1148/ > | May 27 15:58 |
mtnd3w | "There are reasons against any software platform. When people argue against Python, for example, you don't see them vigorously campaigning to have it removed from the default install of their favorite distro. You can't be "not interested in Mono" while simultaneously railing against it at every opportunity. | May 27 15:58 |
mtnd3w | "some people...have concerns about its use" is really not reason enough to have a giant freak-out session. That some people expect it is, is the irrational component of the argument." | May 27 15:58 |
schestowitz | What are the URLs? | May 27 15:59 |

mtnd3w | which tells me she joined as soon as there were articles about Gnote | May 27 16:02 |
schestowitz | Who is alanmc ? | May 27 16:03 |

schestowitz | http://www.reddit.com/user/snorp/ looks innocent | May 27 16:07 |

mtnd3w | look at this article for example: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/8ncf2/ibm_exec_calls_vista_the_best_recruiter_for_linux/ | May 27 16:07 |
schestowitz | And he attacks me in a way | May 27 16:07 |
mtnd3w | there is 30 down votes | May 27 16:07 |
mtnd3w | and one comment. | May 27 16:08 |
mtnd3w | i spoke to some other people on reddit | May 27 16:08 |
mtnd3w | they said there has been some issues of "group down voting" | May 27 16:08 |
schestowitz | Troll comment | May 27 16:08 |
mtnd3w | but examples he gave were related to political submission | May 27 16:08 |
schestowitz | So they do to reddit now what they do to Digg and /. | May 27 16:09 |
schestowitz | With confirmation | May 27 16:09 |

schestowitz | Sockpuppets | May 27 16:10 |
mtnd3w | donkeypuke: agreed. | May 27 16:11 |
mtnd3w | what i don't get is this: | May 27 16:11 |
mtnd3w | mono is 'controversial' whether you stand behind it or not. so why are so many distros willing to divide their communities over this? it's infuriating. especially since there is such a large number of people who state outright that the first thing they do after a fresh install is get rid of mono and all of its associated bleh. | May 27 16:11 |
mtnd3w | growl. | May 27 16:11 |
mtnd3w | edit: less than a minute after posting and i see myself and the parent already downmodded. our comments are relevant and widely held. wonderful sense of integrity you must have. what douchery... sigh. http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/8nee8/banshee_will_likely_be_the_default_music_player/c09u1y7 | May 27 16:11 |
mtnd3w | this is a comment from another user experiencing the same thing | May 27 16:11 |
schestowitz | I'm writing about post about this | May 27 16:27 |
mtnd3w | you can include things like Microsoft that announced it's $300 million marketing campaign after Vista failed, | May 27 16:38 |
mtnd3w | could promoting Microsoft goals in social network be one of them? | May 27 16:39 |
mtnd3w | You can example of the "Megaphone." There was a case of "group downvoting" in reddit where pro-Israeli users downvote articles critical about Israel through a software called Megaphone, that sends alerts from the system tray to alert of anything news on the web thats questions Israel | May 27 16:45 |

tacone | well, banshee is regularly worked on, and features are regularly added | May 27 20:24 |
tacone | can you say the same about rhythmbox ? | May 27 20:24 |
fewa | are they useful? | May 27 20:24 |
tacone | also they point out banshee is better | May 27 20:24 |
tacone | which may be true, but not that much imho. | May 27 20:24 |
mtnd3w | i don't follow rhythmbox's development really | May 27 20:24 |
tacone | banshee and rhythmbox feel pretty much equivalent | May 27 20:25 |
mtnd3w | but simply from my use, it supports a lot of audio devices and has better stability | May 27 20:25 |
mtnd3w | performs a lot better than banshee thats for sure. | May 27 20:25 |
fewa | mono must have its own lame audio stack | May 27 20:25 |

fewa | Well thats one of their stated goals: to ease out debian testing | May 27 21:11 |
fewa | but they only test a very small portion, so its not much | May 27 21:11 |
fewa | I dislike them putting contrib stuff in main | May 27 21:12 |
MinceR | oh, so they do stability...for debian | May 27 21:13 |
fewa | especially their own propritary stuff | May 27 21:13 |
MinceR | :) | May 27 21:13 |
fewa | and then refusing to change when you file bug reports on it | May 27 21:13 |
fewa | like on nvidia-settings being in main | May 27 21:13 |
MinceR | what's their policy for main? | May 27 21:15 |

tacone | fewa: i believe that's a mistake. nvidia settings should be in restricted. i see nothing bad in that. | May 27 21:34 |
mtnd3w | directhex responds: The problem is that it’s grounded in douchebaggery. Taking somebody’s code, and making a 1-way change in the license, is a dick move. End of story. Telling a BSD kernel developer “oh, well you can have all the changes we made to our GPL-only fork of your code, you just need to convert to GPL” isn’t a solution in that case, nor in this identical case. It’s pure and simple douchebaggery. | May 27 21:34 |
mtnd3w | Is there a “threat”? No. Gnote still implements only a small fraction of Tomboy’s functionality, including zero syncing abilities (see also http://live.gnome.org/Snowy). But it’s incredibly rude and demoralising for people to take your code and claim it for their own with less than zero desire to cooperate. Gnote’s supporters intentionally misrepresent its benefits, and engage in doublespeak - both attacking Tomboy as a | May 27 21:34 |
mtnd3w | “useless” app when at the same time recommending a less functional clone. | May 27 21:34 |
mtnd3w | There’s also the question of the future. Where will Gnote go when (if?) it reaches feature parity with Tomboy? Continually exist as a catch-up clone, implementing Tomboy’s features as and when? When the Tomboy maintainer proposed cooperating on a note format (e.g. for interop with things like Snowy), he was rebuffed - is this productive? | May 27 21:34 |

MinceR | i'm interested too | May 27 22:24 |
MinceR | especially the part where it open documents from a particular subdirectory by typing in part of the name | May 27 22:24 |

tacone | a_villacis: prettyness | May 27 23:01 |
tacone | and guess it has more plugins | May 27 23:01 |
tacone | but i didn't know fedora shipped it by default | May 27 23:01 |
tacone | i thought fedora was adverse to mono | May 27 23:02 |
tacone | a_villacis: also deskbar in the past crashed many times for me. i never saw gnome-do crashing. | May 27 23:02 |
a_villacis | I might be wrong, but last time I installed Fedora 10 from the CD set, the default GNOME session started gnome-do by default. I uninstalled it because I had no use for it at the time, and my machine had only 512 Mb of RAM. | May 27 23:03 |
a_villacis | I was toying with the idea of reimplementing gnome-do in python, but I think I should try to improve deskbar-applet instead. | May 27 23:06 |

tacone | i can't check fedora 10 defaults | May 27 23:09 |
tacone | i'm pretty curious about fedora 11. | May 27 23:09 |
a_villacis | From a quick look at the code of gnome-do, the prettyness comes down to a skinnable interface that uses Cairo. | May 27 23:11 |
tacone | a_villacis: yep | May 27 23:13 |
tacone | also, frankly, the firefox ubiquity parser is much better than gnome do's | May 27 23:14 |
tacone | but that's it | May 27 23:17 |
MinceR | well, sometimes the document opening part doesn't work in deskbar | May 27 23:18 |
tacone | i think the mono software is pretty polished | May 27 23:18 |
*neighborlee (n=neighbor@unaffiliated/neighborlee) has joined #boycottnovell | May 27 23:18 | |
tacone | they are doing a good work | May 27 23:18 |
tacone | the problem is their platform, not the software itself. | May 27 23:18 |
MinceR | now it remembers the file it didn't want to know about | May 27 23:18 |
MinceR | (after i've opened it via its full path :> ) | May 27 23:18 |
MinceR | and it's a lot faster if you turn off Tracker Live Search | May 27 23:18 |
tacone | special exception for f-spot which i don't like nor understand | May 27 23:18 |
MinceR | i find gqview a lot more useful than f-spot | May 27 23:19 |
MinceR | gqview can keep its collections in files | May 27 23:19 |
MinceR | f-spot insists on keeping a media library of pictures | May 27 23:19 |
MinceR | and i insist on not using such media libraries, so i don't use f-spot :> | May 27 23:19 |
*neighborlee has quit (Client Quit) | May 27 23:19 | |
*neighborlee_ (n=neighbor@unaffiliated/neighborlee) has joined #boycottnovell | May 27 23:19 | |
tacone | i don't take many photos, so i'm not in the right position to judge | May 27 23:20 |
tacone | iPhoto seems much better than f-spot by the way | May 27 23:20 |
tacone | (and I don't like apple software that much) | May 27 23:20 |
MinceR | i don't take a lot of photos either | May 27 23:22 |
tacone | i'm actually surprised they don't do a video editing software | May 27 23:23 |
MinceR | the only digital cameras i have are the one built into my old phone and my qtek 9100 | May 27 23:23 |
tacone | that would earn them a place in any distribution | May 27 23:23 |
MinceR | perhaps it would be unusably slow | May 27 23:23 |
tacone | they just do yet another mp3 player, desktop search, photo management. | May 27 23:23 |
tacone | well, they don't have to do everything in mono. they could just talk to ffmpeg or stuff like that | May 27 23:24 |
tacone | even tomboy has a c part. | May 27 23:24 |
tacone | yet another istant messenger (on kde..) | May 27 23:24 |
tacone | what's not clear to me is how much novell backs those software developers | May 27 23:25 |
tacone | do they get paid ? | May 27 23:25 |
neighborlee_ | Even if its done for free, it doesn't matter as a rat by any other name bites just as hard | May 27 23:28 |
MinceR | probably m$ pays novell and novell pays the developers in turn | May 27 23:28 |
schestowitz | According to Dawkins, Einstein too did not believe in God: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugaM7lJrUxQ&feature=related | May 27 23:28 |
neighborlee_ | Thats my take on it yes..would that surpirse anyone ? ;)) | May 27 23:28 |
schestowitz | MinceR: differnt | May 27 23:29 |
MinceR | in The God Delusion he discusses definitions of God :) | May 27 23:29 |
schestowitz | In reverse | May 27 23:29 |
schestowitz | Those who don't like Mono quit or get expelled | May 27 23:29 |
schestowitz | Hubert did not like Mono | May 27 23:29 |
schestowitz | He protested in 2006 | May 27 23:29 |
MinceR | schestowitz: so all these projects are done by novell employees in their free time? | May 27 23:29 |
schestowitz | That can't have rubbed Monovell the right way | May 27 23:29 |
schestowitz | So it's selection by preference | May 27 23:29 |
schestowitz | Rather than the other way around | May 27 23:29 |
schestowitz | Think along the lines of: | May 27 23:30 |
tacone | schestowitz: thanks for the election link | May 27 23:30 |
schestowitz | Do tall people play basketball? | May 27 23:30 |
schestowitz | Or does basketball make people tall? | May 27 23:30 |
tacone | that was definitely a post not worth doing. nobody cared. | May 27 23:30 |
schestowitz | tacone: np :-) | May 27 23:30 |
schestowitz | You noticed very fast | May 27 23:30 |
MinceR | schestowitz: getting expelled only works if they already work for novell | May 27 23:30 |
schestowitz | tacone: I was shocked nobody commented | May 27 23:31 |
tacone | schestowitz: protested about what ? | May 27 23:31 |
MinceR | schestowitz: then they either get paid for doing it or they don't | May 27 23:31 |
schestowitz | Saw it in Susan's feed before I read yours | May 27 23:31 |
schestowitz | It's good to put faces on the name | May 27 23:31 |
tacone | schestowitz: people like crap. like appstores :P | May 27 23:31 |
schestowitz | *names | May 27 23:31 |
MinceR | schestowitz: if it's the former then it's what i said before; if it's the latter then they're done by novell employees in their free time | May 27 23:31 |
schestowitz | Ubuntu too | May 27 23:31 |
schestowitz | If I write about Ubuntu , then more people care | May 27 23:31 |
schestowitz | Trend spotting.... | May 27 23:31 |
tacone | ubuntu had a good impact. | May 27 23:31 |
schestowitz | Open source is less attrative now | May 27 23:31 |
schestowitz | It lost the meaning | May 27 23:32 |
tacone | i think it will be a good thing even in the long term | May 27 23:32 |
tacone | as long as sabdfl is the chairman | May 27 23:32 |
*a_villacis (n=alex@mail.palosanto.com) has left #boycottnovell | May 27 23:32 | |
MinceR | less attractive to whom? | May 27 23:32 |
schestowitz | You can see this stuff in zeitgeists like Google Trends | May 27 23:32 |
MinceR | to those who think freedom is important or to the sleepers? | May 27 23:32 |
schestowitz | sleepers? | May 27 23:33 |
tacone | schestowitz: i also think this uds has a lot of hot things. it may really pay off if they do what they're discussing about. | May 27 23:33 |
schestowitz | Slippers? :-) | May 27 23:33 |
MinceR | those who don't realize what's at stake when m$ tries to take over the world | May 27 23:33 |
schestowitz | Yes | May 27 23:33 |
schestowitz | Or what's countered | May 27 23:33 |
schestowitz | Look at Apple | May 27 23:33 |
MinceR | those who gladly sell all their freedoms for a little money... and unfortunately they also sell my freedoms | May 27 23:33 |
schestowitz | SOmeone 'dared' to put their 0s and 1s on a standard box | May 27 23:33 |
schestowitz | They filed Ch11 | May 27 23:33 |
schestowitz | Not because they couldn't install it | May 27 23:33 |
schestowitz | Because Apple would not allow them | May 27 23:34 |
MinceR | what i find particularly sad about it is that people want those 0s and 1s | May 27 23:34 |
schestowitz | This is just a case study in the whole "if Microsoft went away, that may not be enough" | May 27 23:34 |
MinceR | when they could get something that's better in every way at no cost | May 27 23:34 |
MinceR | without legal threats | May 27 23:34 |
schestowitz | Yes | May 27 23:34 |
schestowitz | Needs marketing | May 27 23:34 |
schestowitz | Glitzy themes | May 27 23:35 |
MinceR | it needs a lot more than glitzy themes | May 27 23:38 |
MinceR | i don't know what kind of marketing is needed here | May 27 23:38 |
schestowitz | http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3822091/Striking-the-Right-Gnote.htm | May 27 23:44 |
schestowitz | "By "I have already worked with them to fix one interoperability issue" he means, "I told a bug reporter that I didn't care about the fact that GNote breaks the note format so that Tomboy can't read GNote notes because I don't support ever returning to GNote, so if they want the notes to work with both, that's Tomboy's problem, and then Sandy modified Tomboy to deal with my incompatibility issues."" | May 27 23:44 |
schestowitz | GPLv3 **AND** Data routes... Gnote takes centre stage | May 27 23:44 |
*_Goblin has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) | May 27 23:44 | |
schestowitz | tessier: is outgoing mail up and running? | May 27 23:46 |
*amarsh04 has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) | May 27 23:51 | |

tacone | i can't understand what mackenzie said | May 27 23:55 |
