| schestowitz | MinceR: can op be given not by that who registered a channel? | Jul 01 07:26 |
| MinceR | if they're opped, they can set +o on anyone | Jul 01 07:26 |
| kentma1 | mornin' | Jul 01 07:26 |
| MinceR | but for adding flags in ChanServ, there's a flag to allow that | Jul 01 07:26 |
| schestowitz | mikankun: seems like a Vists7 ad | Jul 01 07:27 |
| schestowitz | Let me try it | Jul 01 07:27 |
| MinceR | to me it seems like more admission that vista is a failure | Jul 01 07:27 |
| *schestowitz gives channel operator status to MinceR | Jul 01 07:27 | |
| *ChanServ removes channel operator status from MinceR | Jul 01 07:27 | |
| schestowitz | "ChanServ removes channel operator status from MinceR" | Jul 01 07:27 |
| MinceR | maybe you have some setting that makes ChanServ keep ops out of the hands of those who don't have the flag? | Jul 01 07:28 |
| MinceR | 084627 [freenode] -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- SECURE Prevents unauthorized users from gaining operator status. | Jul 01 07:28 |
| MinceR | well, then you can prevent ops from opping more people :) | Jul 01 07:29 |
| schestowitz | How can this be changed? | Jul 01 07:29 |
| schestowitz | I'd need to call in [h]omer | Jul 01 07:29 |
| MinceR | i think it's /cs set #boycottnovell secure off | Jul 01 07:29 |
| -ChanServ-The SECURE flag has been removed for channel #boycottnovell. | Jul 01 07:29 | |
| *schestowitz gives channel operator status to MinceR | Jul 01 07:29 | |
| schestowitz | OK, thanks. It works now | Jul 01 07:29 |
| MinceR | :) | Jul 01 07:30 |
| schestowitz | I asked because I need someone to watch over it while I'm on break and you're among the few people who are here 24/7. You also know IPs of trolls like _Mutex_ (who comments in BN now) | Jul 01 07:30 |
| kentma1 | Mutex? hmmm,.....# | Jul 01 07:31 |
| MinceR | ok, i'll watch them | Jul 01 07:31 |
| schestowitz | kentma1: he had like 7 names | Jul 01 07:31 |
| kentma1 | wow | Jul 01 07:31 |
| kentma1 | dedication! | Jul 01 07:31 |
| schestowitz | He tried proxies, other services, etc. It's like a Gary Stewart | Jul 01 07:31 |
| schestowitz | Perception management | Jul 01 07:31 |
| MinceR | we don't have a lot to identify mutex though, the only thing i've seen is that he was the only one from bigpond | Jul 01 07:31 |
| schestowitz | Yes, also in his comments. | Jul 01 07:31 |
| kentma1 | the name is a clue of sorts, anyway - mutex was the name MS came up with to avoid using the term "spinlock", I believe. | Jul 01 07:32 |
| MinceR | interesting | Jul 01 07:32 |
| kentma1 | I think the MS marketing machine thought the term "spinlock" to be too negative. | Jul 01 07:33 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 01 07:33 |
| kentma1 | btw - what was multios? | Jul 01 07:34 |
| MinceR | never heard of it | Jul 01 07:34 |
| kentma1 | well, you probably won't now. apparently the project was declared dead on the 29th of June | Jul 01 07:35 |
| MinceR | what was it about? | Jul 01 07:35 |
| Motoko-chan | schestowitz, if the services here have levels, you could just give them the right level to be auto-oped. | Jul 01 07:35 |
| kentma1 | http://osgeex.blogspot.com/2009/06/free-multios-decleared-dead.html | Jul 01 07:35 |
| MinceR | what i found out is that spinlock is one way to implement a mutex | Jul 01 07:36 |
| kentma1 | ah, there's more to this tale, then? | Jul 01 07:36 |
| *schestowitz gives channel operator status to kentma1 | Jul 01 07:36 | |
| schestowitz | I've just added another op just in case | Jul 01 07:37 |

| kentma | aha - how did you get one? I'd really like one - tried out one a friend had. | Jul 01 08:17 |

| Motoko-chan | I bought it. | Jul 01 08:18 |
| *Motoko-chan has T-Mobile service | Jul 01 08:19 | |
| the old media coverage of both iPhone and Twitter cemented my view of both as lame | Jul 01 08:19 | |
| Motoko-chan | The iPhone is a slick little device. | Jul 01 08:19 |
| Motoko-chan | But like most Apple things is locked down beyond belief. | Jul 01 08:19 |
| it would be slicker if it were free | Jul 01 08:19 | |
| Motoko-chan | The iMac is like that too. It's built to function as an appliance. Kinda like a microwave or the TV. | Jul 01 08:20 |
| iPhone is basically an updated Zaurus | Jul 01 08:20 | |
| Motoko-chan | twitter, it would be more appropriate to say it's an updated Newton. | Jul 01 08:20 |
| Motoko-chan | Just don't tell Steve. | Jul 01 08:20 |
| they added better graphics, made smaller and added some nice touch screen features. | Jul 01 08:21 | |
| was Newton ARM too? | Jul 01 08:21 | |
| I draw the line between PDAs at wireless capability. | Jul 01 08:22 | |
| I still use a tethered PDA, stand alone. | Jul 01 08:22 | |
| X and wireless add a lot of power and flexibility | Jul 01 08:23 | |
| Motoko-chan | Newton seems to have used the ARM 610 | Jul 01 08:23 |
| iPhone would not be so special if US telco were competitive. | Jul 01 08:23 | |
| Motoko-chan | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Apple_Newton_and_iPhone.jpg | Jul 01 08:23 |
| Motoko-chan | I used to use a Palm Vx. | Jul 01 08:23 |
| Motoko-chan | I just didn't like carrying two phones (personal and work) *and* a PDA. | Jul 01 08:24 |
| Motoko-chan | I'm now down to one device. | Jul 01 08:24 |
| I quit carrying a phone | Jul 01 08:25 | |
| Motoko-chan | I'm on-call, so I have to for work. | Jul 01 08:27 |
| I still carry one of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handspring_(company)#Visor_and_Visor_Deluxe | Jul 01 08:28 | |
| battery life is more like three months | Jul 01 08:28 | |
| Motoko-chan | I remember those. | Jul 01 08:29 |
| kentma | hmm, I have plenty of SIMs, I don't need service, just the phone. | Jul 01 08:31 |

| trmanco | yeah, chrome is faster in some ways | Jul 01 10:27 |
| trmanco | but lacks flexibility and some functionality | Jul 01 10:27 |
| trmanco | and extensibility | Jul 01 10:27 |
| trmanco | there is a reason why most of the web developers love it | Jul 01 10:28 |
| oiaohm | chrome was ment to be a prototype. | Jul 01 10:29 |
| trmanco | there is nothing like firebug | Jul 01 10:29 |
| oiaohm | Core changes still need in firefox is spliting into threads. | Jul 01 10:29 |
| oiaohm | Opps processes. | Jul 01 10:29 |
| oiaohm | And more secuirty. | Jul 01 10:29 |
| oiaohm | In time Firefox will match or beat the prototype. | Jul 01 10:30 |
| trmanco | multi process firefox is comming | Jul 01 10:30 |
| trmanco | coming* | Jul 01 10:30 |
| oiaohm | Exactly. | Jul 01 10:30 |
| trmanco | I've already saw a video of that somewhere | Jul 01 10:30 |
| trmanco | and the non restartable extension install would be great too | Jul 01 10:30 |
| oiaohm | There is also talk of python including. | Jul 01 10:31 |
| trmanco | well, as soon as they implement multi process, I guess killing and extension will be easy | Jul 01 10:31 |
| oiaohm | Multi process will make finding extentions with issues simpler. | Jul 01 10:31 |
| trmanco | python? where? some extensions already use it | Jul 01 10:31 |
| oiaohm | Directly linked to XUL. | Jul 01 10:32 |
| trmanco | well, python need to get "the speed boost" from Google :-P | Jul 01 10:33 |
| trmanco | needs* | Jul 01 10:33 |
| trmanco | I'm not saying it's slow or anything | Jul 01 10:33 |
| oiaohm | Current release python is faster than the past one by a large margin. | Jul 01 10:33 |
| trmanco | but speed and efficiency is always welcome | Jul 01 10:33 |
| oiaohm | And they have not done the jit bit yet. | Jul 01 10:33 |
| trmanco | when will they introduce that? 4.0 (python) :-P | Jul 01 10:34 |
| oiaohm | Coverted IO access from python to C and speed everything up by at least 100 percent. | Jul 01 10:34 |
| trmanco | that's great | Jul 01 10:34 |
| oiaohm | 3.1 python is the one with a major boost. | Jul 01 10:35 |
| oiaohm | Some code sections take 1/20 of the time they did. | Jul 01 10:35 |
| oiaohm | Its going to be scary one the JIT is done. | Jul 01 10:35 |
| oiaohm | one/once | Jul 01 10:35 |
| trmanco | :-) | Jul 01 10:35 |
| oiaohm | Lot of the python interfaces that are heavly used in python are becoming pure C. | Jul 01 10:36 |
| oiaohm | So reducing the thickness of the wrappers. | Jul 01 10:37 |
| trmanco | interesting | Jul 01 10:38 |
| trmanco | more de 3.5 million downloads of Firefox 3.5 -> http://downloadstats.mozilla.com/ | Jul 01 10:39 |
| oiaohm | For me python improvements are great. The complete interface of 2.50 blender is based in python and supports edit code and see change in interface while editing. | Jul 01 10:40 |
| trmanco | it will sure speed up blender | Jul 01 10:41 |
| oiaohm | Python is slowly become the open source answer to visual basic for applications. | Jul 01 10:42 |
| fewa | and much more | Jul 01 10:44 |
| oiaohm | In one way it would be nice if python gets added to the html standard along side javascript. | Jul 01 10:45 |
| trmanco | comparing python to visual basic is like comparing a fiat to a Rolls Royce | Jul 01 10:48 |
| oiaohm | Visual basic for applications was MS idea of a universal application scripting language. | Jul 01 10:50 |
| oiaohm | Python is picking up that usage more and more. | Jul 01 10:52 |

| schestowitz | Hi, thenixedreport | Jul 01 13:54 |
| thenixedreport | I see that Stallman finally made a clarification in regards to Mono. | Jul 01 13:55 |
| schestowitz | Many people took the burden of explaining to people the problems with Mono, so it's long overdue. We spoke about this for 3 years | Jul 01 13:55 |
| thenixedreport | Personally, I think that Mono has been used the whole time to divide and conquer FOSS. | Jul 01 13:55 |
| MinceR | it has. | Jul 01 13:55 |
| MinceR | and it's also a trap. | Jul 01 13:55 |
| thenixedreport | (With the added bonus of lawsuit attempts) | Jul 01 13:55 |
| thenixedreport | Except that any lawsuit attempts would possibly be null and void at this point. | Jul 01 13:57 |
| thenixedreport | I'm saying this due to MS employees being directly involved with Mono. | Jul 01 13:58 |
| MinceR | at this point, yes. in the future, no. | Jul 01 13:58 |
| thenixedreport | If they're helping Mono along, why would they sue people using it later? | Jul 01 13:58 |
| thenixedreport | They would be laughed out of the courtroom, wouldn't they? | Jul 01 13:58 |
| MinceR | because they want to take down gnu/linux, whatever it takes. | Jul 01 13:58 |
| MinceR | people bringing trucks of money to the courtroom rarely get laughed out of it. | Jul 01 13:59 |
| thenixedreport | In that case, they have probably already given up on any patent suits at this point (at least, major ones). | Jul 01 13:59 |
| thenixedreport | I think I see what they're trying to do. | Jul 01 13:59 |
| thenixedreport | They're trying to infiltrate, then control any form of FOSS, to where people give up. | Jul 01 13:59 |
| MinceR | control via patents, yes | Jul 01 14:00 |
| thenixedreport | That is, they give up developing for alternative platforms. | Jul 01 14:00 |
| thenixedreport | Not necessarily patents. | Jul 01 14:00 |
| thenixedreport | At least not directly. | Jul 01 14:00 |

| -BNc/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] Sun Calls DOJ Slowdown of Oracle Deal Simply an Irritation < http://ping.fm/MNoX5 > | Jul 01 14:03 | |
| oiaohm | Sorry thenixedreport. Novell and MS have a patent agreement. Other parties do not. | Jul 01 14:03 |
| thenixedreport | Look, I get that. | Jul 01 14:04 |
| oiaohm | Even if MS staff were working on it MS still could sue. | Jul 01 14:04 |
| thenixedreport | I understand that part. | Jul 01 14:04 |
| oiaohm | And win. | Jul 01 14:04 |
| thenixedreport | I'm also attempting to think outside the box. | Jul 01 14:04 |
| oiaohm | Thinking out side the box is what I do. | Jul 01 14:04 |
| oiaohm | Java was a pure secure object language. | Jul 01 14:04 |
| oiaohm | .net is a halfway attempt between java and native code. | Jul 01 14:05 |
| oiaohm | So there is no reason why there cannot be another attempt closer to native code. | Jul 01 14:05 |
| thenixedreport | I'm not saying that Mono doesn't have patent issues. | Jul 01 14:06 |
| thenixedreport | I'm also not saying it's a decent developer tool either. | Jul 01 14:06 |
| thenixedreport | It isn't. | Jul 01 14:06 |
| thenixedreport | Not as far as I'm concerned. | Jul 01 14:06 |
| oiaohm | Mono without patents is still harmful. | Jul 01 14:06 |
| thenixedreport | I feel that there are bigger threats at the moment. | Jul 01 14:06 |
| thenixedreport | That dwarf Mono. | Jul 01 14:06 |
| thenixedreport | Microsoft infiltrating FOSS to poison it for example. | Jul 01 14:07 |
| thenixedreport | And taking advantage of the Mono controversy. | Jul 01 14:07 |
| oiaohm | .net code cannot intergrate into gobject so effectively its sucking development pool away from the core of gnome. | Jul 01 14:07 |
| oiaohm | So weaking gnome. | Jul 01 14:07 |
| thenixedreport | Bingo. | Jul 01 14:07 |
| thenixedreport | Then what's left? | Jul 01 14:07 |
| thenixedreport | XFCE, KDE, LXDE, and E17. | Jul 01 14:07 |
| oiaohm | XFCE also depends on gobject. | Jul 01 14:08 |
| thenixedreport | XFCE relies on GTK as well. | Jul 01 14:08 |
| oiaohm | Its also sucking developers away from that. | Jul 01 14:08 |
| thenixedreport | Then there's KDE, in which people still prefer 3.5 (and others liking 4 thus far). | Jul 01 14:08 |
| oiaohm | gobject is from glib under GTK. | Jul 01 14:08 |
| oiaohm | KDE people will move on from 3.5 when time is right. | Jul 01 14:08 |
| thenixedreport | True. | Jul 01 14:09 |
| oiaohm | Basically when 4.x catchs up on the features they use. | Jul 01 14:09 |
| thenixedreport | Then there's LXDE. | Jul 01 14:09 |
| thenixedreport | I've seen the screenshots. | Jul 01 14:09 |
| oiaohm | Mono developers also tried to get hooks into KDE. | Jul 01 14:09 |
| thenixedreport | Beautiful, and I hear it can run on Pentium II's pretty quickly. | Jul 01 14:09 |
| oiaohm | KDE treats mono as any other scripting language not that important. | Jul 01 14:09 |
| thenixedreport | It's not Mono itself. | Jul 01 14:10 |
| oiaohm | You don't base core bits in Mono with KDE. | Jul 01 14:10 |
| thenixedreport | It's the people pushing it who need to be focused on. | Jul 01 14:10 |
| thenixedreport | It's also Microsoft and Windows 7. | Jul 01 14:10 |
| thenixedreport | 7 has the potential to be a serious contender (though there are some visible chinks in it). | Jul 01 14:10 |
| oiaohm | Lot of gnome developers are aware of problem. | Jul 01 14:10 |
| oiaohm | So started vala project. | Jul 01 14:11 |
| thenixedreport | That's a great way to start. | Jul 01 14:11 |
| thenixedreport | Gnote is another way to start. | Jul 01 14:11 |
| thenixedreport | Improving Anjuta wouldn't hurt either. | Jul 01 14:11 |
| oiaohm | Also vala is on a fast track for development. | Jul 01 14:11 |
| thenixedreport | Even Gambas has the option to create GTK applications. | Jul 01 14:11 |
| thenixedreport | That's good. | Jul 01 14:11 |
| oiaohm | Under 12 months to create. | Jul 01 14:11 |
| oiaohm | Gnome developers are long term beasts. | Jul 01 14:12 |
| thenixedreport | Good news. | Jul 01 14:12 |
| oiaohm | Let mono developers think they have won for now. | Jul 01 14:12 |
| thenixedreport | Maybe. | Jul 01 14:12 |
| oiaohm | Then left field them with better tech. | Jul 01 14:12 |
| thenixedreport | Also, it needs to be pointed out that the same people are pushing Mono over and over again. | Jul 01 14:12 |
| thenixedreport | Miguel himself almost had an opportunity to work for Microsoft, but he didn't fit the requirements (he had to have a degree or something to that effect). | Jul 01 14:13 |
| *tacone has quit (Connection timed out) | Jul 01 14:14 | |
| oiaohm | At the need for moonlight and flash fads so will the strenth of the .net idea. | Jul 01 14:14 |
| schestowitz | thenixedreport: his colleague Nat is from Microsoft | Jul 01 14:14 |
| thenixedreport | Miguel's colleague? | Jul 01 14:14 |
| schestowitz | Ximian was made by two people: one from Microsoft, one who wanted to work for them | Jul 01 14:14 |
| schestowitz | tessier: yes | Jul 01 14:15 |
| schestowitz | Ximian's cofounder | Jul 01 14:15 |
| thenixedreport | Interesting. | Jul 01 14:15 |
| MinceR | what's he called? | Jul 01 14:15 |
| oiaohm | Migual working for MS would lose his controlling force over gnome developers thenixedreport | Jul 01 14:15 |
| thenixedreport | I understand that part. | Jul 01 14:15 |
| oiaohm | So MS could not take him and keep him as a weapon. | Jul 01 14:15 |
| thenixedreport | This was before he founded Gnome. | Jul 01 14:15 |
| schestowitz | Trust me, thenixedreport , I hate the civil wars | Jul 01 14:16 |
| schestowitz | I warn about them | Jul 01 14:16 |
| oiaohm | MS will take anyone with a good back history of work. | Jul 01 14:16 |
| thenixedreport | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_icaza | Jul 01 14:16 |
| oiaohm | Papers are not important to them if you have good enough work history. | Jul 01 14:16 |
| schestowitz | But what are we to do when MS' manual specifies tactics to achieve this? | Jul 01 14:16 |
| schestowitz | Look what they did to OSI | Jul 01 14:16 |
| schestowitz | Now they attack ODF from the inside | Jul 01 14:16 |
| schestowitz | Read http://boycottnovell.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/comes-3096.pdf | Jul 01 14:17 |
| schestowitz | See what Microsoft says | Jul 01 14:17 |
| oiaohm | I know this because the guy who designed the Linux kernel configuration system works for MS and had less bits of paper than Miguel | Jul 01 14:17 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft inherited the startegy from http://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html and it is viewing it as wars with spied and turncoats | Jul 01 14:17 |
| schestowitz | *spies | Jul 01 14:17 |
| oiaohm | He could have only failed on two grounds. | Jul 01 14:17 |
| oiaohm | 1 not a good enough work history. | Jul 01 14:18 |
| schestowitz | See what they do to crash conferences and panels for example | Jul 01 14:18 |
| oiaohm | 2 failed the personality test. | Jul 01 14:18 |
| thenixedreport | I have to actually lay down. | Jul 01 14:18 |
| thenixedreport | I work the night shift at my job. | Jul 01 14:19 |
| oiaohm | Supprising numbers of historic key Linux world developers work for MS. | Jul 01 14:19 |
| thenixedreport | But oiaohm, I would like to continue the conversation. | Jul 01 14:19 |
| thenixedreport | Some of the background to the Linux kernel is quite interesting indeed. | Jul 01 14:19 |
| thenixedreport | :) | Jul 01 14:19 |
| thenixedreport | I'll stay logged in. | Jul 01 14:19 |
| thenixedreport | See you all in a few hours. | Jul 01 14:19 |
| schestowitz | Cool. | Jul 01 14:20 |

| schestowitz | Where was the DOJ when MS aggravated Yahoo!? | Jul 01 14:21 |
| schestowitz | DOJ is like a company | Jul 01 14:21 |
| oiaohm | I would like to go through Migual_de_icaza history some time to see what new tech he as truly created. | Jul 01 14:21 |
| schestowitz | COmpanies lay some employees in there (like Barnett who worked for MS) and like Fedral Reserve they are an unregulated mafia | Jul 01 14:21 |
| schestowitz | They have 'clients' like the friends of DOJ members and they attack what they deem necessary | Jul 01 14:22 |
| oiaohm | All the work I have seen from Migual is cloning. | Jul 01 14:22 |
| schestowitz | Apple Will Never Replace Darwin With Linux < http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/6/26/134033/785 > | Jul 01 14:23 |
| MinceR | We Will Never Start Caring | Jul 01 14:24 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: the MS job was for porting ('cloning) IE | Jul 01 14:24 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 01 14:24 |
| schestowitz | COM, ActiveX, and all that... | Jul 01 14:24 |
| oiaohm | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federico_Mena He was the one behind gobject | Jul 01 14:24 |
| schestowitz | "Apple will never replace toy with a toolbox" | Jul 01 14:24 |
| schestowitz | Like the conceited little kid in the Mac ads | Jul 01 14:25 |
| *Lich has quit ("Page closed") | Jul 01 14:25 | |
| oiaohm | I really suspect migual has never been a inovateor of anything. So does not deserve to be treated as a coding god. | Jul 01 14:25 |
| MinceR | oh, it's just an useless rant by a frustrated *bsd fanboy. | Jul 01 14:26 |
| oiaohm | At best treated like AJ of the wine project. Good maintainer that is it. | Jul 01 14:26 |
| MinceR | s/an/a/ | Jul 01 14:26 |
| schestowitz | Judging by how Apple treats Webkit, I'm not sure it would help Linux much. It's a control freak. | Jul 01 14:26 |
| MinceR | it's noise. | Jul 01 14:26 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: what about gtk/gnome? | Jul 01 14:27 |
| oiaohm | gtk and glib are Federico Mena's. | Jul 01 14:28 |
| oiaohm | Developed for gimp. | Jul 01 14:28 |
| oiaohm | Gnome is really a expand of glib tech. | Jul 01 14:29 |
| nicktastic | oiaohm: Defamation does not help your cause. | Jul 01 14:29 |
| nicktastic | The thing that bugs me about you guys is how emotional and unobjective you get over this issue. | Jul 01 14:29 |
| oiaohm | This is not Defamation nicktastic | Jul 01 14:29 |
| oiaohm | Linus and lot of other high lead coders have projects they have started. | Jul 01 14:30 |
| oiaohm | With unique designs. | Jul 01 14:30 |
| nicktastic | Whatever | Jul 01 14:30 |
| oiaohm | I don't have 1 project I can think of that mignel has done that is in that class nicktastic | Jul 01 14:30 |
| oiaohm | Reason why I said at some point I will have to go threw his history. | Jul 01 14:31 |
| nicktastic | I really don't see how that matters. You can say the same about hundreds of other FOSS developers. You just want to pick on Miguel because you don't like Mono. | Jul 01 14:31 |
| oiaohm | There are two major classes of developers. | Jul 01 14:32 |
| oiaohm | To be correct 3. | Jul 01 14:32 |
| nicktastic | And I think that hurts more than helps. | Jul 01 14:32 |
| oiaohm | Inovateors who expands tech. | Jul 01 14:32 |
| oiaohm | Maintainers who take care of tech and are good at coping projects. | Jul 01 14:33 |
| nicktastic | I don't care about the taxonomy of develoeprs. | Jul 01 14:33 |
| nicktastic | This is not relevant to the cause. | Jul 01 14:33 |
| oiaohm | And the followers. | Jul 01 14:33 |
| oiaohm | It is relevant. | Jul 01 14:33 |
| nicktastic | I disagree | Jul 01 14:33 |
| oiaohm | If a person is being classed as something they are not. | Jul 01 14:33 |
| oiaohm | They also get respected differnet ways nicktastic. | Jul 01 14:35 |

| schestowitz | > <antileet> I need to ask you for a favour. Unfortunately something I wrote was misrepresented and taken out of context on your weblog, and I am having a slight bit of trouble because of that. I have described my greviance in an email to you | Jul 01 14:48 |
| schestowitz | Which message was that? | Jul 01 14:48 |
| antileet | schestowitz: I contribute to some projects oout of my own interests, unfortunately the way I had written it might've been taken out of context | Jul 01 14:49 |
| schestowitz | There were some anonymous people making some comment on death chambers or something | Jul 01 14:49 |

| schestowitz | antileet: which E-mail? | Jul 01 14:50 |
| antileet | I sent it to r@schestowitz.com | Jul 01 14:50 |
| schestowitz | Today? | Jul 01 14:50 |
| antileet | About ten minutes ago, yes. | Jul 01 14:50 |
| schestowitz | BTW, the attempts to smear BN won't stop | Jul 01 14:51 |
| schestowitz | Not just because there is no censorhip/moderation | Jul 01 14:51 |
| schestowitz | They are desperate for anything that causes harm, so don't worry about it,, antileet | Jul 01 14:51 |
| schestowitz | Let me see the mail | Jul 01 14:51 |
| antileet | schestowitz: I really don't want any part in any of this. | Jul 01 14:51 |
| antileet | i was just frustrated and saddened. I'm just a student somewhere who likes to write a little code. Please read my email. | Jul 01 14:52 |
| schestowitz | If I make some remark about people putting acids in the drink of dissenters then they falsely (!!) claims that I blame Microsoft for the Reiser miurder | Jul 01 14:52 |
| schestowitz | They are very imaginatory at lying | Jul 01 14:52 |
| schestowitz | Or blaming me for someone who read BN and then abuses someone in the Ubuntu mailing list | Jul 01 14:53 |
| -BNc/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] Linux.com is already abused for press release as 'blog' items: http://ping.fm/FH08L | Jul 01 14:53 | |

| schestowitz | antileet: oh, I see.. | Jul 01 14:55 |
| schestowitz | Let me read it. | Jul 01 14:55 |
| schestowitz | I love XMMS | Jul 01 14:55 |
| schestowitz | Still using it at work, antileet | Jul 01 14:56 |
| antileet | schestowitz: I do too. I use it as well | Jul 01 14:56 |
| the_mad_hatter | The trolls are getting desperate. | Jul 01 14:56 |
| schestowitz | RMS is not the problem | Jul 01 14:56 |
| schestowitz | He has known about Mono issues for years | Jul 01 14:56 |
| nicktastic | I thought I was the only one | Jul 01 14:56 |
| schestowitz | But he's afraid of rubbing the community the wrong way | Jul 01 14:56 |
| nicktastic | I'm so annoyed that they remove xmms from debian | Jul 01 14:57 |
| schestowitz | nicktastic: still in repos, no? | Jul 01 14:57 |
| schestowitz | Gentoo removed it 2 years ago | Jul 01 14:57 |
| schestowitz | In Ubuntu it's in the repos | Jul 01 14:57 |
| antileet | nicktastic: Why isn't it in the repos | Jul 01 14:57 |
| nicktastic | Nope, debian gave it the boot | Jul 01 14:57 |
| antileet | Yeah the package maintainers said there are some problems with it | Jul 01 14:57 |
| antileet | it'd turned up on the mailing lists | Jul 01 14:58 |
| nicktastic | There are third-party builds for the app but not the plugins | Jul 01 14:58 |
| nicktastic | antileet: I suspect because upstream sources are no longer being maintained | Jul 01 14:58 |
| antileet | nicktastic: http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=xmms2 | Jul 01 14:58 |
| nicktastic | Especially annoying for the plugins | Jul 01 14:58 |
| nicktastic | Yeah but that's xmms2 | Jul 01 14:58 |
| nicktastic | I want good old, light-weight, fast xmms with its super cool file browser | Jul 01 14:58 |
| antileet | nicktastic: That's almost abandoned I think. | Jul 01 14:59 |
| nicktastic | I just use mplayer on the command line now. :( | Jul 01 14:59 |
| nicktastic | Yup | Jul 01 14:59 |

| nicktastic | lol | Jul 01 14:59 |
| antileet | That would be my article, the_mad_hatter | Jul 01 15:00 |
| the_mad_hatter | I wrote a long reply to his post. | Jul 01 15:00 |
| the_mad_hatter | Ah, it was? | Jul 01 15:00 |
| *nicktastic chuckles. | Jul 01 15:00 | |
| antileet | Yes, thank you for your response | Jul 01 15:00 |
| antileet | I do not wish to have any part in this whatsoever. I only want to write code and keep the opinions and debating to people who understand things better than I do | Jul 01 15:01 |
| the_mad_hatter | You know, you really got to watch your language. The idea of anyone wanting to fuck Richard Stallman nearly cost me a keyboard. | Jul 01 15:01 |
| nicktastic | hahaha | Jul 01 15:02 |
| antileet | Ah, my girlfriend would be annoyed with that. | Jul 01 15:02 |
| oiaohm | If we did not have the odd hot head around OSS there would be no fun. | Jul 01 15:02 |
| the_mad_hatter | probably. My first response (which didn't get posted) went into length about that. And why it was kind of unfair, because there's a lot of us greying overweight guys out there. | Jul 01 15:03 |
| the_mad_hatter | Who would love to get fucked. | Jul 01 15:03 |
| antileet | What 21 year old kid couldn't resist that? | Jul 01 15:04 |
| schestowitz | At some stage I'll use the Wiki to build an extensive index for Portugal -- to serve as a sort of reference page from which to pick incidents and make a stronger case. | Jul 01 15:04 |
| the_mad_hatter | Can you imagine what my wife would say if I posted that? I'd be sleeping in the dog house! | Jul 01 15:04 |
| the_mad_hatter | Anyway, I'm still reading your response to my response. | Jul 01 15:04 |
| schestowitz | antileet: don't worry about it. No hard feelings.; | Jul 01 15:04 |

| the_mad_hatter | right or left? | Jul 01 15:17 |

| wallc | I have a set of drums, and a drummer...lol | Jul 01 15:17 |
| the_mad_hatter | are you right or left handed, and if you are left handed, do you play right or left? | Jul 01 15:18 |
| antileet | I'm right handed. | Jul 01 15:18 |

| the_mad_hatter | OK, just curious. I'm left handed, learned how to play right (because back then you couldn't find left handed guitars), and then was forced to switch to left because of an injury, and the difference is incredible, it just feels so natural. | Jul 01 15:19 |
| the_mad_hatter | I wish I'd gone left years ago. | Jul 01 15:20 |
| antileet | the_mad_hatter: Do you invert the strings or just adjust? | Jul 01 15:20 |
| antileet | I inverted a friend's strings on her bass, so that the string positions become more natural, she felt a significant improvement because she plays left handed | Jul 01 15:21 |
| the_mad_hatter | I was advised to just turn my guitar upside down, but instead I bought a real left handed guitar. | Jul 01 15:21 |
| the_mad_hatter | So strings are reversed to a right. I actually had to convert a guitar for a friend to left (rsi issues) and she said it was more natural too. | Jul 01 15:22 |
| the_mad_hatter | problem is the world isn't friendly to us lefties. | Jul 01 15:22 |
| antileet | the trouble is that most of the chord shapes are optimized for the right hand. so I guess it's best to go in for a left handed one | Jul 01 15:22 |

| antileet | To quote your article: "Another person, who describes himself as an “intern at Microsoft [who is] writing an extension to the MonoDevelop project,” has just written about this." | Jul 01 15:31 |

But some skilled GNOME developers already showed the world (*cough*GNote*cough*) how Mono is NOT saving time to someone who is skilled and knows how to do things the right way. To me, GNote is not a symbol of freedom, but a symbol of the fact that people can still use GTK with success with C or C++ (and by this point I hope you realized that this | Jul 01 22:57 |

| -BNc/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] @davidgerard: it's a mixed company. Google has ex-Microsoft employees in it too. | Jul 01 23:33 | |
| oiaohm | Its the reason why patent coverage on standards are important. Companies working with you standards can turn nuts. | Jul 01 23:33 |
| oiaohm | Novell always has owned Unix. | Jul 01 23:33 |
| oiaohm | Just they legally cannot use it due to there court case loss to BSD. | Jul 01 23:34 |
| oiaohm | Its part of the settlement with BSD over Novell breaching copyright. | Jul 01 23:34 |
| oiaohm | SCO is a funny case. It was also Novell paperwork to them that suggested control of Unix had been transfered to SCO. Problem is due to the prior BSD case the main copyright and lot of other things are not transferable. | Jul 01 23:37 |
