tacone | api control is not a big problem as legal control. | Jul 30 00:00 |
tacone | parolang: PAI = API (typo)= | Jul 30 00:00 |
parolang | Well, remember that mono apologists are often people who have invested (in terms of man-hours learning the system, running apps for the system, not $$$) a great deal in mono technology. So obviously there's a natural bias. They don't want to give up what they have already been working with. | Jul 30 00:01 |
tacone | the fact that ms felt the need to do the community promise, as worthless as it may be, is a sign they need a good rap and mono concerns are real. | Jul 30 00:01 |
tacone | parolang: nobody hates mono people here. | Jul 30 00:02 |
parolang | The community promise isn't worthless, but it does give up control like you're saying. | Jul 30 00:02 |
tacone | i should say BN is suspicious (especially on IRC) because many attacks came. | Jul 30 00:02 |
parolang | tacone: Good. But I meant that in the sense of an explanation on why mono apologists aren't reading the arguments objectively. | Jul 30 00:02 |

tacone | parolang: Jo Shields is beginning talking with Jason (mono-nono.com) in a non hatred manner. that's good. | Jul 30 00:03 |
schestowitz | tacone: IRC is IRC | Jul 30 00:03 |
schestowitz | Not formal | Jul 30 00:03 |
schestowitz | Someone mailed me this 3 hours ago: | Jul 30 00:03 |
schestowitz | "Who is this guy Jo Shields? I am more concerned about his role in gettting Debian dependent on mono than i am concerned about Ubuntu. According to his website he is a sysadmin at Cambridge University... I would like to think he is honest and is just a gullible developer fan of C# and .Net..." | Jul 30 00:03 |
schestowitz | "at the beginning, when responding to the well reasoned posts by jason of mono-nono, Jo even sounded reasonable, but the more he writes, the more aggresive he becomes and the harder seems to me to consider he is honest." | Jul 30 00:03 |
tacone | obviously mono people are biased. as everyone is. | Jul 30 00:03 |
parolang | But, the community promise pretty much traps the fs community into their specification. Going outside of the specification becomes a risk. This is ripe for the old embrace and extend strategy. | Jul 30 00:03 |
schestowitz | "He seems to know far too much about Microsoft internal strategy and interests, and the more he writes, the more the things he says resembles the typical "microspeak" and talking points. Aside from his disgusting and unwarranted attacks on RMS along with **" | Jul 30 00:04 |
tacone | parolang: even if ms guys were good guys, they have shareholders to report to | Jul 30 00:04 |
tacone | it's not gonna be easy in any way. | Jul 30 00:04 |
parolang | schestowitz: Please make sure no one is trying to get anyone fired for their jobs. | Jul 30 00:05 |
parolang | schestowitz: It scares me that he even mentions the guys place of employment. | Jul 30 00:05 |
tacone | attacks on rms are an awful | Jul 30 00:05 |
parolang | But Jo Shields says he's the release manager for mono on Debain (IIRC) | Jul 30 00:06 |
tacone | parolang: so ? | Jul 30 00:06 |
tacone | parolang: schestowitz has no control on his readers actions | Jul 30 00:06 |
parolang | What are you so-ing too? | Jul 30 00:07 |
parolang | tacone: He can endorse or encourage people's actions. | Jul 30 00:07 |
schestowitz | parolang: there are lots of people reading the site and occasionally someone even posts personal details, which I don't like | Jul 30 00:07 |
tacone | jo shields is the release manager. so ? | Jul 30 00:07 |
schestowitz | Or people who get pissed off and run off doing stupid things | Jul 30 00:07 |
schestowitz | BN is not editors+readers (whoever they are)... not more than the Guardian can be blamed if some reader read something in there and murdered his family | Jul 30 00:07 |
parolang | schestowitz: Yeah. It would just be good to discourage the behavior wherever it seems to exist. That's all. | Jul 30 00:08 |
tacone | +1 on discouraging foolish acts. | Jul 30 00:08 |
parolang | tacone: Oh. The post schestowitz quoted above asked what jo shields role is in debian | Jul 30 00:08 |
tacone | parolang: sorry, missed that. | Jul 30 00:09 |
schestowitz | Another thing from a reader: "<black helicopter mode="ON">I might be totally wonkers and probably it means nothing, but something stroke me the other day and it is he wrote the word "germane" which is a word I had only read once elsewhere and on that ocassion I had to look up its meaning in a dictionary (since I am not a native english speaker), you know who was using that word?: Steve Ballmer in an interview...<black helicopter mo | Jul 30 00:09 |

parolang | schestowitz: See, that's paranoid. :) | Jul 30 00:09 |
schestowitz | parolang: ITwire did this in an article | Jul 30 00:09 |
schestowitz | parolang: yes, I know. | Jul 30 00:10 |

schestowitz | *morning. Oops | Jul 30 00:11 |
tacone | bye | Jul 30 00:11 |
parolang | tacone: Kudos for linking to the Google Wave patent license. Very informative. +1 | Jul 30 00:13 |
tacone | :) | Jul 30 00:13 |
fewa | shows that all the BS from MSFT blaming those confused is misplaces | Jul 30 00:13 |
fewa | that MSFT purposefully makes their "promise" full of holes | Jul 30 00:14 |
parolang | fewa: Well, the argument could be made that Microsoft is using the community promise to ensure that developers don't make implementations that violate the standard. | Jul 30 00:15 |
parolang | fewa: But that argument would probably only be political cover. | Jul 30 00:15 |
fewa | parolang, thats not community, that's dictaitorship | Jul 30 00:15 |
parolang | I think the ability to fork from the specification is an important freedom that the community needs to have. | Jul 30 00:15 |
tacone | making a c# implementation is not trivial | Jul 30 00:15 |
tacone | +1 on forking. | Jul 30 00:16 |
tacone | they need to calm down. is not that apache forks went anywhere. | Jul 30 00:16 |
parolang | I can imagine MS changing the specification to make it difficult to implement on free or non Windows systems. | Jul 30 00:16 |
fewa | parolang, +1 obvious | Jul 30 00:16 |
tacone | na | Jul 30 00:17 |
fewa | OOXML is full of that type of stuff. | Jul 30 00:17 |
tacone | changing the specification is not trivial | Jul 30 00:17 |
fewa | all sort of undefined definitions | Jul 30 00:17 |
tacone | that would break retro compatibility | Jul 30 00:17 |
parolang | tacone: hmm | Jul 30 00:17 |
fewa | parolang, new version are not covered by the licence | Jul 30 00:17 |
parolang | tacone: Well, I mean a new version of the spec that's also covered by the community promise. Especially if there is something wrong/inconveniant about the previous specification. | Jul 30 00:18 |
fewa | IOW, MSFT astroturf, and lots of it | Jul 30 00:18 |
fewa | nothing new | Jul 30 00:18 |
tacone | mmh. | Jul 30 00:18 |

of course, working systems can be monitored. free software people do this too as proof of concept. but you can only fix the problems you find in practice when you have source code and freedom. | Jul 30 13:52 | |

oiaohm | Tools required to binary audit basically convert program back to asm and audit the operation from there twitter. Its painful. I guess you have never had to do it twitter. | Jul 30 13:55 |

oiaohm | Not exactly lame. | Jul 30 13:57 |
but always some excuse. non free software can not be fixed. | Jul 30 13:57 | |
oiaohm | The truth is people coding for windows most of them have not bothered about secure or safe programing. | Jul 30 13:57 |

oiaohm | Its not. If your applications are coded by coders who just care about performance at any cost. You are simply a sitting duck secuirty wise. | Jul 30 14:01 |

oiaohm | There have been other closed source OS's that are older than windows and never had anywhere near the same numbers of problems. Due to pure willingness to remove flaws no matter the cost. | Jul 30 14:06 |
oiaohm | Your claim that windows is unfixable is wrong twitter. Its lack of willingness to pay the required price to fix it. If they are not willing to pay the price to fix what else is wrong. | Jul 30 14:07 |
oiaohm | And the scary thing about someone developing a OS and not willing to pay the price of fixing flaws ie some times incompadiblies is a snow ball effect leading to a less and less secure OS. | Jul 30 14:10 |
oiaohm | The effect could happen just as simple in a Open Source OS as a closed source one. | Jul 30 14:10 |
oiaohm | And the bigger the snow ball the large the price to fix it. | Jul 30 14:11 |
oiaohm | The problem with people like twitter claiming the problem of windows secuirty as not fixable is then MS does not have to because the problem is too large to fix. | Jul 30 14:14 |
oiaohm | Really twitter you are being pro problem claiming its unfixable. | Jul 30 14:14 |

schestowitz | oiaohm: yes, beat me to it. | Jul 30 14:25 |
you can get random mem allocations, but you don't even have to try. GNU/Linux's distribution, architecture and module diversity insure that no two computers will have the same memory map at a low level. | Jul 30 14:25 | |

schestowitz | How many IP addresses won't have minesw~1.exe somewhere on the disk? | Jul 30 14:27 |
oiaohm | Linux has a history of taken the right options twitter | Jul 30 14:28 |
Supposes someone figures out how to p0wn EEE PC with a Flash attack. They get a small selection of EEE PCs. I doubt the same thing would work on a Dell mini. | Jul 30 14:28 | |
oiaohm | And it shows. | Jul 30 14:28 |
and, of course, it won't bother my Debian set up which has no flash. | Jul 30 14:28 | |
That's free software diversity in action. | Jul 30 14:28 | |
oiaohm | Problem is the diversity is not a great as you make out. | Jul 30 14:29 |
oiaohm | Linux userspace ABI from the kernel is basically a constant. | Jul 30 14:29 |
oiaohm | From there lot of information can be probed. | Jul 30 14:30 |
Drive by attacks are greatly reduced in effectiveness, spread times are larger and payoff is smaller. | Jul 30 14:30 | |
oiaohm | Without the introduction of LSM that created diversity making a probing a risky sport from hell on some systems Linux would be open to attack. | Jul 30 14:30 |
oiaohm | Selections done in the formation of Linux secuirty have been critical. | Jul 30 14:31 |
*twitter has quit ("Leaving.") | Jul 30 14:32 | |
oiaohm | I don't think twitter gets it yet. Its not just diversity. Its design and willing ness to do what is right. I still remember the pain selinux caused when it was first introduced in 2000 schestowitz | Jul 30 14:34 |
oiaohm | Bugger I missed it I missed asking twitter if open source is so great why is freedos and other open source dos releations dos virus compadible. Diversity alone does not give secuirty. | Jul 30 14:39 |
Geode | diversity is another name for obscurity, and obscurity is only a limited defense agaist attack, if the prize is worth it no OS is secure. Just there are far more of easier (soft) targets. But if the prize is high enough it will be targetted. | Jul 30 14:43 |
oiaohm | Linux servers holding lots of major data around the world they are quite targeted. | Jul 30 14:45 |
Geode | yes, they are, and sometimes successfully. your right | Jul 30 14:45 |
oiaohm | So proper formal security designs have had to be done for linux and backwards compadiblity broken to fix security at times. | Jul 30 14:46 |
oiaohm | Its pure willingness to do the right thing is the major difference between Linux and Windows. | Jul 30 14:47 |
Geode | no OS or app is ammune from security issues, and all require keeping security in mind at all stages. | Jul 30 14:47 |
oiaohm | Of course not immune doing the right things reduce the risks a lot. | Jul 30 14:48 |

schestowitz | The style gave it away, the lookup confirms: CPE-121-217-249-225.nsw.bigpond.net.au | Jul 30 14:49 |
oiaohm | Without major break in application compadiblity lot of windows issues cannot be fixed. | Jul 30 14:49 |

schestowitz | Watch out for next morph | Jul 30 14:50 |
oiaohm | _Mutex_ does not put up a logical arguement. | Jul 30 14:50 |
oiaohm | Another 2 lines and he was toast. | Jul 30 14:50 |
Diablo-D3 | schestowitz: you know | Jul 30 14:50 |
Diablo-D3 | we should cook up some scheme | Jul 30 14:50 |
Diablo-D3 | to buy microsoft stock | Jul 30 14:50 |
schestowitz | I don't ban him for what he says now BTW | Jul 30 14:50 |
Diablo-D3 | you know why? | Jul 30 14:50 |
schestowitz | It's the fact that he ban-evades after past abuses with like 10-20 other names | Jul 30 14:50 |
schestowitz | *emphasis on _now_ | Jul 30 14:51 |
Diablo-D3 | we could donate the dividends to foss legal funds | Jul 30 14:51 |
schestowitz | Without stating that it's same old Mutex it might seem like elimination of dissent | Jul 30 14:51 |
oiaohm | Ie MS has over 15 years of spent stacked up problems. | Jul 30 14:51 |
schestowitz | He also does the same in BN comments | Jul 30 14:51 |
*Diablo-D3 sighs | Jul 30 14:51 | |
schestowitz | He comes from the anti-Linux site | Jul 30 14:51 |
oiaohm | Why buy MS. | Jul 30 14:52 |
oiaohm | Let them die. | Jul 30 14:52 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: think about it | Jul 30 14:52 |
Diablo-D3 | microsoft would fund their own destruction | Jul 30 14:52 |
oiaohm | Hmm | Jul 30 14:52 |
schestowitz | "But MSFT, save Yahoo" ;-) | Jul 30 14:52 |
schestowitz | *Buy | Jul 30 14:52 |
oiaohm | Yes MS might be just dumb enought to do that. | Jul 30 14:52 |
Diablo-D3 | yahoo is a bad investment | Jul 30 14:53 |
oiaohm | Thinking at one time MS sued themselves. | Jul 30 14:53 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: well | Jul 30 14:53 |
Diablo-D3 | ms cant control who owns their stock | Jul 30 14:53 |
Diablo-D3 | so we could just shunt their revenues to pro-foss groups | Jul 30 14:53 |
oiaohm | Pay some group to talk out against Open source | Jul 30 14:53 |
Diablo-D3 | its Free Money (tm) | Jul 30 14:54 |
oiaohm | Only one problem that group has the compete Idea of buying MS out. | Jul 30 14:54 |
oiaohm | With there own money. | Jul 30 14:54 |
oiaohm | It would be so funny. | Jul 30 14:54 |
Diablo-D3 | ibm should buy microsoft just to kill it | Jul 30 14:54 |
Diablo-D3 | microsoft is standing between a lot of companies and said companies' profits | Jul 30 14:55 |
oiaohm | What would IBM gain other than wasted money that could go into Linux development. | Jul 30 14:55 |
Diablo-D3 | ibm included | Jul 30 14:55 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: see above | Jul 30 14:55 |
Diablo-D3 | microsoft is in the way. | Jul 30 14:55 |
Diablo-D3 | its the cost of doing business imo | Jul 30 14:55 |
oiaohm | IBM is funding Linux to by pass MS. | Jul 30 14:55 |
oiaohm | And cause MS to give them software cheep. | Jul 30 14:55 |
oiaohm | Hopefully less than it costs to maintain. | Jul 30 14:56 |
Diablo-D3 | I wish IBM would spend more on java development | Jul 30 14:56 |
oiaohm | That is orcales department. | Jul 30 14:56 |
Diablo-D3 | its also ibm's | Jul 30 14:57 |
Diablo-D3 | ibm has their own java | Jul 30 14:57 |
Diablo-D3 | and they very much rely on java development | Jul 30 14:57 |
Diablo-D3 | same way oracle needs java because lots of apps that use oracle db are custom enterprise java | Jul 30 14:57 |
oiaohm | Each of the Platinum Members of the Linux foundation has a major job they are responsable for. They do dable in other areas. | Jul 30 14:58 |
Diablo-D3 | ibm needs java because lots of people buy ibm boxes to run enterprise java on | Jul 30 14:58 |
oiaohm | IBM's is mostly documentation. Very good documentation. | Jul 30 14:58 |
Diablo-D3 | IBM doesnt make money on their docs =P | Jul 30 14:58 |
Diablo-D3 | they make money on their enterprise hardware | Jul 30 14:58 |
Diablo-D3 | they are still very much a large hardware shop | Jul 30 14:58 |
oiaohm | There docs are important to using the hardware effectively. | Jul 30 14:59 |
Diablo-D3 | they're going to eventually finish their transition to a majority of software someday | Jul 30 14:59 |
Diablo-D3 | and then go to SaaS | Jul 30 14:59 |
Diablo-D3 | Oracle+Sun and IBM aren't "competitors" | Jul 30 14:59 |
oiaohm | All the linux foundation plat members bar one are hardware makers. | Jul 30 15:00 |
oiaohm | With Linux most of the profit is in the sales of hardware. | Jul 30 15:00 |
Diablo-D3 | governments, major companies, and militaries often have policies that state there must be at least two vendors to source a product from | Jul 30 15:00 |
oiaohm | With bundled support contracts. | Jul 30 15:00 |
Diablo-D3 | I imagine Sunacle and IBM will be the last men standing | Jul 30 15:00 |
oiaohm | HP and Dell are still also standing. | Jul 30 15:01 |
Diablo-D3 | HP is..... meh | Jul 30 15:01 |
Diablo-D3 | and Dell is bargin basement shit | Jul 30 15:01 |
Diablo-D3 | I mean, could you take a large company seriously if they had racks full of Dell shit? | Jul 30 15:01 |
oiaohm | HP has come back from the edges that many times you cannot count them out. | Jul 30 15:02 |
Diablo-D3 | I don't like HP enterprise anymore | Jul 30 15:02 |
oiaohm | Sorry to say here in Australia racks full of Dell stuff is not uncommon. | Jul 30 15:02 |
Diablo-D3 | HP used to have enterprise stuff worth buying | Jul 30 15:02 |
Diablo-D3 | low end HP enterprise stuff costs as much as Dell | Jul 30 15:03 |
oiaohm | Dell stuff is cheap enought to afford the extra bits to cover the stablity problem. | Jul 30 15:03 |
Diablo-D3 | high end HP enterprise stuff costs as much as IBM or Sun's low end stuff | Jul 30 15:03 |
Diablo-D3 | so either you just buy Dell or you buy Sun or IBM | Jul 30 15:03 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: no | Jul 30 15:03 |
Diablo-D3 | if Im going that route | Jul 30 15:03 |
Diablo-D3 | I just build the shit myself | Jul 30 15:03 |
Diablo-D3 | which is ultimately a better solution anyhow | Jul 30 15:04 |
oiaohm | I wish I could with some companies. | Jul 30 15:04 |
oiaohm | They have 5 years free hardware replacement if it breaks with dell contracts. | Jul 30 15:04 |
Diablo-D3 | I mean, I can even build blade servers | Jul 30 15:05 |
oiaohm | So can I. Lot of companies here just love dell stuff. | Jul 30 15:06 |
Diablo-D3 | no I meant like | Jul 30 15:06 |
Diablo-D3 | supermicro's stuff | Jul 30 15:06 |
Diablo-D3 | thats pretty nifty imo | Jul 30 15:06 |
oiaohm | I can get any custom case from design I want built in 3 days. Yes I mean pure unique case for location. | Jul 30 15:07 |
oiaohm | So its not that I cannot do it. Got all the machine shops i need to build all kinds. | Jul 30 15:08 |
oiaohm | Problem is client willing ness to trust a non big name. | Jul 30 15:08 |
Diablo-D3 | I love working for myself | Jul 30 15:09 |
Diablo-D3 | :D | Jul 30 15:09 |
Diablo-D3 | I just realized something | Jul 30 15:10 |
Diablo-D3 | istanbul opterons have 6 cores | Jul 30 15:10 |
Diablo-D3 | supermicro makes blades that take four of those. | Jul 30 15:11 |
Diablo-D3 | 10 blades fit in a box | Jul 30 15:11 |
Diablo-D3 | the box is 4u tall | Jul 30 15:12 |
Diablo-D3 | er whoops | Jul 30 15:12 |
Diablo-D3 | 7u tall | Jul 30 15:12 |
Diablo-D3 | so thats 240 cores in a really tiny space | Jul 30 15:13 |
Diablo-D3 | short of VPS selling combined with a storage cluster, I have no clue what to do with that much power. | Jul 30 15:13 |
oiaohm | Render a blender movie. | Jul 30 15:13 |
oiaohm | It will find a way to eat it all. | Jul 30 15:14 |
-BNc/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] More RAND and Hostility Towards Standards, Courtesy of Microsoft http://ping.fm/gUCm5 | Jul 30 15:14 | |
Diablo-D3 | seriously though, thats a lot of CPU power | Jul 30 15:14 |
oiaohm | I am 100 percent serious. | Jul 30 15:14 |
Diablo-D3 | thats 240 cores in twice the space of where I have 2 cores. | Jul 30 15:15 |
oiaohm | I have seen blender creating some videos give a 1024 core system almost max load. | Jul 30 15:15 |
Diablo-D3 | my case is roughly 4U sized | Jul 30 15:15 |
oiaohm | It is one of the biggest cpu munches I know. | Jul 30 15:15 |
Diablo-D3 | yeah, 3D rendering does take a lot | Jul 30 15:16 |
oiaohm | Issue is video rendering does not use GPU yet. | Jul 30 15:16 |
Diablo-D3 | that box is probably $10k too | Jul 30 15:16 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: no | Jul 30 15:16 |
Diablo-D3 | they have renderers written in opencl now | Jul 30 15:16 |

oiaohm | Not video render Diablo-D3 | Jul 30 15:16 |
Diablo-D3 | no, I meant offline raytracers | Jul 30 15:16 |
Diablo-D3 | notice I said opencl | Jul 30 15:16 |
Diablo-D3 | as in, gpgpu | Jul 30 15:16 |
oiaohm | Hmm what version did that sneek in Diablo-D3 | Jul 30 15:17 |
Diablo-D3 | I didnt say for blender | Jul 30 15:17 |
Diablo-D3 | I just said they have renderers that use gpgpus | Jul 30 15:18 |
oiaohm | And I am refering to the default blender render engine. | Jul 30 15:18 |
oiaohm | That does a really nice job other than being a CPU hog from hell at times. | Jul 30 15:18 |
