DaemonFC | my dad is on Zestril, has been for like 18 years now | Oct 14 01:26 |
DaemonFC | anyhow, they think that may have contributed to the seizures | Oct 14 01:26 |
DaemonFC | so they put me on the zestril to control it | Oct 14 01:27 |
DaemonFC | $4 a month is hardly worth arguing with them about | Oct 14 01:27 |
schestowitz | Paid off well for them | Oct 14 01:27 |
schestowitz | If the drug goes wrong it's more revenue | Oct 14 01:27 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz, diet is important for a lot of stuff, but things like cholesterol can't always be controlled with that | Oct 14 01:30 |
DaemonFC | they took a blood draw to do a lipid profile today so I may have to go on a statin if my cholesterol and triglycerides are too high | Oct 14 01:30 |

Balrog_ | yes, very much so | Oct 14 01:32 |
Balrog_ | I heard of that SideKick / Danger thing | Oct 14 01:32 |
Balrog_ | what a mess | Oct 14 01:32 |
schestowitz | Leopard Snow too | Oct 14 01:33 |
schestowitz | Data loss | Oct 14 01:33 |
Balrog_ | well yea I know about that | Oct 14 01:33 |
Balrog_ | at least it's not as bad as the 10.5 / 10.5.1 data loss issues | Oct 14 01:33 |

schestowitz | "And I'm a PC, I delete data remotely" | Oct 14 01:33 |

schestowitz | Yes, I wrote about the 2007 incident | Oct 14 01:34 |
schestowitz | Balrog_: ext4 was not final at this stage | Oct 14 01:34 |
Balrog_ | the joke around here about ReiserFS was that it kills your data (we had some issues with it) | Oct 14 01:34 |
Balrog_ | I'm not talking about ext4 | Oct 14 01:34 |
Balrog_ | and ext3 is really stable | Oct 14 01:34 |
Balrog_ | but I'm just saying ... that latest and greatest isn't always the best | Oct 14 01:35 |
Balrog_ | that's true with anything though | Oct 14 01:36 |
Balrog_ | I'm not happy with Apple about patching the jailbreak vuln out of the current iPhone 3gs | Oct 14 01:36 |
Balrog_ | this just came out today, too | Oct 14 01:37 |
Balrog_ | and it seems like they're relying on the boot chain for security; not a good idea | Oct 14 01:38 |
schestowitz | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HvGy2gY0eM | Oct 14 01:38 |
Balrog_ | (break the boot chain and the "hardware encryption" is useless ... I think you wrote about that) | Oct 14 01:39 |
schestowitz | Better to buy from a company that does not prevent it | Oct 14 01:39 |
Balrog_ | well none of the current Android hardware performs that well. Also people aren't happy with what T-Mobile did to the MyTouch ... instead of shipping it with 288MB of RAM as in Europe they included only 192MB of RAM | Oct 14 01:40 |
Balrog_ | (also T-Mobile's network SUCKS here but that's a different story) | Oct 14 01:40 |
Balrog_ | the situation with the cellular companies in the US is another mess | Oct 14 01:41 |

DaemonFC | doctors still do things like prescribe Prozac but sign it May Substitute | Oct 14 02:15 |
DaemonFC | you still get the generic | Oct 14 02:15 |
DaemonFC | it's why the drug companies make the brand name easier to remember than the chemical name | Oct 14 02:16 |

schestowitz | "Michael Meeks posted an blog entry showing other projects' line count next to KDE's while asking "the real question is not 'is KDE valuable' - of course it is; but how does it compare[?]" In a nicely concise table he shows that Ohloh pegs KDE at 5.5 million lines of code with GNOME at 15.7, Linux at 7.9 and OpenOffice at 8.5 respectively. That makes KDE's code base look smaller in comparison to these other projects, doesn't it?" | Oct 14 12:06 |

DaemonFC | I need to forward all my old Yahoo emails to my gmail and hotmail | Oct 14 16:01 |
DaemonFC | the amount of time Yahoo forces you to wait for Norton to scan your attachments is unreasonable | Oct 14 16:02 |
DaemonFC | and pictures can't have viruses anyway | Oct 14 16:02 |
DaemonFC | it's just an excuse for a Norton ad | Oct 14 16:02 |
DaemonFC | Norton = Worthless resource hog | Oct 14 16:02 |

DaemonFC | riiiiight | Oct 14 16:07 |
DaemonFC | I've never seen it happen | Oct 14 16:07 |
DaemonFC | maybe if they're encapsulated in something | Oct 14 16:07 |
DaemonFC | like those MP3 albums that make you run a spyware installer to unpack them | Oct 14 16:08 |
DaemonFC | I came across one in search of a rare album once | Oct 14 16:08 |
DaemonFC | used 7zip to just unpack the mp3s without the spyware | Oct 14 16:08 |
DaemonFC | most people are retarded | Oct 14 16:08 |
DaemonFC | the technician doing my EEG was telling me how he sent money to a rogue antivirus outfit that had hosed his system with ransomware | Oct 14 16:09 |
DaemonFC | I tried my best to educate him a little without being condescending or anything | Oct 14 16:09 |
DaemonFC | but it is really telling that even educated/intelligent people fall for that | Oct 14 16:10 |
DaemonFC | education and intelligence are no substitute for common sense | Oct 14 16:10 |
DaemonFC | all three are important, but some people just seem to have an overabundance of one or two with a deficiency of the rest | Oct 14 16:10 |
schestowitz | This talk is good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUukjX-Nee0&feature=related | Oct 14 16:12 |
phIRCe | Title: YouTube - Christopher Hitchens - Axis of Evil (1 of 7) - Introduction & Iraq under Saddam Hussein .::. Size~: 137.88 KB | Oct 14 16:12 |
DaemonFC | so I suggested to him how to get his money back, and if he couldn't, that he should report the card stolen before they come back for more | Oct 14 16:12 |
schestowitz | He's the polar opposite | Oct 14 16:13 |
DaemonFC | and kind of clued him in on how these people operate | Oct 14 16:13 |
schestowitz | Peons are hard to tame :-) | Oct 14 16:13 |
schestowitz | They have families and wage | Oct 14 16:13 |
DaemonFC | I've had to report a card stolen because Microsoft wouldn't stop billing me before | Oct 14 16:13 |
DaemonFC | I had XBOX Live (on the original XBOX) and a premium Hotmail account while they had those | Oct 14 16:14 |
DaemonFC | long story, but I guess I didn't learn the lesson cause I had another billing dispute on XBOX 360 Live | Oct 14 16:14 |
DaemonFC | and ended up having to talk to their XBOX Live division director | Oct 14 16:14 |
DaemonFC | he got it worked out, refunded my money, gave me a year of XBOX Live Gold, and three free video game coupons | Oct 14 16:15 |
DaemonFC | so I guess it got resolved, but you should never, as a customer, have to talk to upper management of a company for something stupid like this | Oct 14 16:15 |
DaemonFC | it's a sign of a bad management structure | Oct 14 16:16 |
DaemonFC | while I had his ear I told him that it was impossible to talk to the outsourced tech support | Oct 14 16:17 |
DaemonFC | thick accent, don't understand you | Oct 14 16:17 |
DaemonFC | I think enough people must have had the same complaint cause their tech support is all in the US and Canada now if you call in from around here | Oct 14 16:18 |
DaemonFC | unless you call real late at night | Oct 14 16:18 |
DaemonFC | then you may get someone in India | Oct 14 16:18 |
DaemonFC | the last console I really thought was neat was the Sega Dreamcast | Oct 14 16:21 |
DaemonFC | The Microsoft/Sony duopoly is not competing to raise the bar, they're conspiring to fix prices and blame the customer for problems brought on by bad quality control | Oct 14 16:21 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft blamed the customers for their overheating XBOX 360 for over two and a half years before admitting that it was a manufacturing defect all along and that any console sold to that point would fail | Oct 14 16:22 |
DaemonFC | Sony made customers of their Playstation 2 pay them $150 + shipping to replace the defective laser | Oct 14 16:23 |
DaemonFC | it's not a new trick, MS support was trying to play gotcha games with me, such as "Do you have the console in confined area?" "Do you have the console placed on thick carpeting?" | Oct 14 16:24 |
DaemonFC | etc | Oct 14 16:24 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, Do you figure there will be a third party come along with a better deal for console gaming? | Oct 14 16:25 |
DaemonFC | gamers spend an insane amount of money, so there is money to be made | Oct 14 16:25 |
DaemonFC | you'd think that billions of dollars getting thrown around would bring along more than two competitors | Oct 14 16:26 |
DaemonFC | my new computer gets here today, I'll probably just start buying mainly PC games | Oct 14 16:29 |
DaemonFC | this system should handle everything out now and probably another year or more | Oct 14 16:29 |
DaemonFC | save some $$$ getting all the stuff my old system couldn't handle at cut prices | Oct 14 16:30 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, I'm not sure that anyone should really be fussing about Intel's drivers for their integrated GPU "cheating" on performance tests | Oct 14 16:31 |
DaemonFC | their reply is perfectly feasible | Oct 14 16:32 |
DaemonFC | that it does that cause it can offload that kind of work onto the CPU cores and it will do it for most popular video games too | Oct 14 16:32 |
DaemonFC | if the system has resources, the driver should find them and use them, and that benchmark suite should find a way to figure that in | Oct 14 16:32 |
DaemonFC | why leave a couple CPU cores idling when you can grab them and use them to help out the GPU a little? | Oct 14 16:33 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, It would be like the manager having a couple employees call in sick, but having a couple more employees around the worksite more than he needs in their areas | Oct 14 16:37 |
DaemonFC | so does he pay them to stand there or tell them to go do what they can in the area with no coverage even though they aren't normally used for the tasks there? | Oct 14 16:37 |
DaemonFC | I haven't seen this Intel driver in action, but I'd lean towards calling it a feature, not cheating, based on what I've heard | Oct 14 16:38 |
DaemonFC | CPUs as we know them are not going to get much faster in the next 10 years, certainly nothing like what we've seen in the last 10 years | Oct 14 16:40 |
DaemonFC | GPUs will get faster at a much quicker rate than CPUs | Oct 14 16:40 |

schestowitz | So many papers are Heralds and Times | Oct 14 16:52 |
schestowitz | It's always complicated to find their sources of influence and history | Oct 14 16:52 |
DaemonFC | this is a pretty heavily Republican town, but I volunteered to canvass for Obama here before the election | Oct 14 16:52 |
schestowitz | NYT is said to be most influential, sitll | Oct 14 16:52 |
schestowitz | Obama is the lesser of the two problems | Oct 14 16:53 |
schestowitz | But he's not the solution | Oct 14 16:53 |
DaemonFC | and the area I canvassed that they said "Do't bother with" went from 25% Kerry 75% Bush in 200 to 51% Obama 49% McCain last year | Oct 14 16:53 |
schestowitz | Your government remains the shadow cast by funders of the PR campaigns of major parties | Oct 14 16:53 |
DaemonFC | we still lost the county overall, but it didn't matter since we just needed a simple majority for the state | Oct 14 16:53 |
DaemonFC | and we got that by 29,800 votes out of about 3 million | Oct 14 16:53 |

schestowitz | States get treated like people | Oct 14 16:55 |
schestowitz | And corporations too | Oct 14 16:55 |
DaemonFC | there's never been enough faithless electors to sway an election | Oct 14 16:55 |
schestowitz | They receive rights like "Free speech" as though they are living people | Oct 14 16:55 |
schestowitz | This too is insane | Oct 14 16:55 |
DaemonFC | and most states invalidate faithless votes anyway | Oct 14 16:55 |
DaemonFC | Indiana is one of them | Oct 14 16:55 |
DaemonFC | if I was an elector and didn't vote for the candidate I had promised to, my vote would be invalidated, and one of the backup electors would vote instead | Oct 14 16:56 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, there's arguments to keep it, and to get rid of it | Oct 14 16:56 |

DaemonFC | I've heard everything from 50,000 to 300,000 | Oct 14 17:13 |
schestowitz | Our specifies is said to have had about a million generations | Oct 14 17:13 |
schestowitz | That's just one specifies, i.e. almost no evolution | Oct 14 17:13 |
DaemonFC | so I doubt anyone knows with any reasonable accuracy | Oct 14 17:13 |
schestowitz | *species | Oct 14 17:13 |
schestowitz | I'm used to the 150,000 number | Oct 14 17:13 |
schestowitz | But it's "just a theory" | Oct 14 17:14 |
schestowitz | Like the theory that we appeared like "POOF!" 6k years ago | Oct 14 17:14 |
DaemonFC | Wikipedia says that mitochondrial DNA and fossil evidence may suggest 200,000 | Oct 14 17:14 |
schestowitz | Then God put the dinosaurs deep in the ground "to test our faith" | Oct 14 17:14 |
DaemonFC | it's not like we "just" appeared, evolution doesn't work that way | Oct 14 17:14 |
schestowitz | I head 350,000, that's the longest | Oct 14 17:14 |
DaemonFC | Christians like to mock evolution by asking how an ape gave birth to a human | Oct 14 17:15 |
schestowitz | Dinosaurs lives 1000 (!!!) time longer before humans even existed | Oct 14 17:15 |
schestowitz | 350m | Oct 14 17:15 |
DaemonFC | they're just showing their own ignorance of the fundamentals of evolution | Oct 14 17:15 |
DaemonFC | then they ask where all the things that evolved in the mean time went | Oct 14 17:16 |
schestowitz | It helps when people fit the timeline to 24 hours on a clock | Oct 14 17:16 |
DaemonFC | easy, we interbred or killed them | Oct 14 17:16 |
schestowitz | To give some indication of scales | Oct 14 17:16 |
DaemonFC | or both | Oct 14 17:16 |
DaemonFC | it's been proven that humans still carry some Neanderthal genes | Oct 14 17:16 |
schestowitz | [17:15] <DaemonFC> Christians like to mock evolution by asking how an ape gave birth to a human | Oct 14 17:16 |
DaemonFC | which proves that we interbred with them | Oct 14 17:16 |
schestowitz | I wonder the same thing when people say it | Oct 14 17:16 |
schestowitz | [joke] | Oct 14 17:17 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: not just neaderthal genes | Oct 14 17:17 |
schestowitz | We have DNA pattens adentical to trees | Oct 14 17:17 |
schestowitz | *identical | Oct 14 17:17 |
DaemonFC | and then they like to ask why we stopped evolving | Oct 14 17:17 |
schestowitz | We did? | Oct 14 17:18 |
DaemonFC | we haven't, it just works on a scale longer than we'll be alive to see | Oct 14 17:18 |
DaemonFC | plus some hundreds of thousands of years | Oct 14 17:18 |
schestowitz | "Hey yo, man, we'll see in like 20 years of this evolution thingie works" | Oct 14 17:18 |
DaemonFC | people aren't good at conceiving of things that take longer than they will be alive to happen | Oct 14 17:18 |
schestowitz | Harder than time | Oct 14 17:19 |
schestowitz | Space we can grasp better than time | Oct 14 17:19 |
schestowitz | We think in terms of yesterday | Oct 14 17:19 |
schestowitz | And we can multiple things for magnitude | Oct 14 17:19 |
DaemonFC | as people age, they become less able to adapt themselves to the world around them | Oct 14 17:19 |
schestowitz | Like saying, there are more stars than grains of sand in the whole of Earth | Oct 14 17:20 |
schestowitz | We can visualise it, sort of | Oct 14 17:20 |
schestowitz | Or showing the size of the largest known planets | Oct 14 17:20 |
DaemonFC | they instead try to adapt their immediate surroundings to what they've become used to | Oct 14 17:20 |
DaemonFC | example, my mother has a mental block when it comes to computers | Oct 14 17:20 |
DaemonFC | hates using them, won't even try | Oct 14 17:20 |
schestowitz | Shame? | Oct 14 17:21 |
DaemonFC | if you show her how to turn it on, log in, open up the browser, and check her email, she can't remember how to do it again | Oct 14 17:21 |
schestowitz | Some are embarrassed to use them | Oct 14 17:21 |
DaemonFC | it's not can't as much as won't | Oct 14 17:21 |
schestowitz | And the longer they avoid it for, the worse it becomes because it's "not their sport" | Oct 14 17:21 |
DaemonFC | she's not stupid, she's a nurse, she makes good money, she's got skill where she needs to to survive | Oct 14 17:21 |

schestowitz | Patterns, not tools | Oct 14 17:22 |

schestowitz | "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." --Albert Einstein | Oct 14 17:23 |
DaemonFC | I just don't understand it. She's not stupid, she doesn't have a learning disorder, she prevents herself from using computers | Oct 14 17:23 |
schestowitz | "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." --Albert Einstein | Oct 14 17:23 |

DaemonFC | even the dark parts are getting lighter | Oct 14 17:34 |
DaemonFC | these might be more or less gone by next Wednesday | Oct 14 17:34 |
DaemonFC | the pain I woke up with only lasted about an hour this morning | Oct 14 17:36 |
DaemonFC | it was lasting all day, then about 4-5 hours, then 2-3 | Oct 14 17:36 |
shreddar | What happend? | Oct 14 17:36 |
DaemonFC | shreddar, seizures last month, arms bruised all over from muscle tensions | Oct 14 17:36 |
DaemonFC | went to the chiropractor yesterday, he fixed my neck and back problems | Oct 14 17:37 |
DaemonFC | the thinking based on everything they've seen is currently that high blood pressure perhaps along with the sinusitis put too much pressure on my brain and basically shorted it out | Oct 14 17:38 |
DaemonFC | that's the way I took it anyway | Oct 14 17:38 |
DaemonFC | antibiotics killed the sinus infection and I'm on lisinopril (spelling?) for the blood pressure, it's generic Zestril | Oct 14 17:38 |
DaemonFC | my dad has been on Zestril for the better part of 20 years | Oct 14 17:39 |
DaemonFC | used to be non generic only | Oct 14 17:39 |
DaemonFC | $4 a bottle now, but when he went on it, it was over $200 | Oct 14 17:39 |
DaemonFC | and thank god he had insurance and good employment otherwise it may have gone untreated and he'd be dead by now | Oct 14 17:40 |
DaemonFC | I'm just glad it's a cheap generic now cause I have no insurance | Oct 14 17:40 |
DaemonFC | interesting medicine though, they make it out of snake venom | Oct 14 17:40 |
DaemonFC | it relaxes your blood vessels and lowers the blood pressure that way | Oct 14 17:41 |
DaemonFC | much less strain on veins, arteries, kidneys, and your heart and brain of course | Oct 14 17:41 |
DaemonFC | so I can view the seizures as a good thing in a perverse way | Oct 14 17:41 |
DaemonFC | cause they may have been a 20 year warning before I died of a heart attack | Oct 14 17:41 |

shreddar | Well, I hope you get that under control. | Oct 14 17:42 |
shreddar | The seizures I mean. | Oct 14 17:42 |
DaemonFC | the seizures seem to have been brought on as a symptom of the real problem (high blood pressure/hypertension) | Oct 14 17:43 |
DaemonFC | hypertension causes a little damage every day over years until you have internal organ failure such as a heart attack, or your blood vessels rupture | Oct 14 17:44 |
DaemonFC | so it's not something to take lightly | Oct 14 17:44 |
shreddar | Oh, so your afraid of a future heart attack then. | Oct 14 17:44 |
DaemonFC | if they tell you to take pills, you better just ask how many and when | Oct 14 17:44 |
DaemonFC | or worse | Oct 14 17:44 |
DaemonFC | like I said, it causes irreparable damage a little at a time, usually without symptoms | Oct 14 17:45 |
DaemonFC | so you should keep an eye on your blood pressure | Oct 14 17:45 |
DaemonFC | you're talking on a scale of 20 or 30 years before it causes a massive heart attack or something | Oct 14 17:45 |
DaemonFC | but I don't want to drop dead at 45 years old | Oct 14 17:46 |
DaemonFC | that's a scary thought | Oct 14 17:46 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, why do you think did Microsoft made a virtualization agreement with Red Hat? | Oct 14 17:48 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, personally, I'm having a bad feeling about it? | Oct 14 17:48 |
DaemonFC | Omar87, You shouldn't | Oct 14 17:48 |
Omar87 | DaemonFC, ? | Oct 14 17:49 |
DaemonFC | it's just an agreement that they'll support each other's operating systems as guests on theirs | Oct 14 17:49 |
DaemonFC | it's not another Novell deal | Oct 14 17:49 |
Omar87 | DaemonFC, that's good. | Oct 14 17:49 |
DaemonFC | no mention of patents, no licensing of anything | Oct 14 17:50 |
DaemonFC | no outrageous sums of money changing hands | Oct 14 17:50 |

_goblin | its a nice little machine here an ACER...very happy to play with any distro. | Oct 14 20:56 |
_goblin | and even when I had that shortterm addiction to WoW, it gave a very good framerate. | Oct 14 20:57 |
schestowitz | That's why I run away from FPSs now | Oct 14 20:58 |
schestowitz | BTW, I'll post to COLA later tonight. There's no point doing just half of it now | Oct 14 20:58 |

DaemonFC | the Geforce 9500 GT was only barely good enough for 1280 x 768 at medium quality with no HDR or AA | Oct 14 22:42 |
DaemonFC | you'd be sitting at around 30-35 fps with that | Oct 14 22:43 |

*DaemonFC has quit (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out)) | Oct 14 23:06 | |
jono | schestowitz I am sorry if you felt that way | Oct 14 23:06 |
jono | I felt I provided an opportunity for you to respond to a variety of points | Oct 14 23:07 |
schestowitz | jono: it's OK | Oct 14 23:07 |
trmanco | I get about 3 negative results on the first google page | Oct 14 23:07 |
schestowitz | I knew it would be that way | Oct 14 23:07 |
schestowitz | You brought up things that are not true | Oct 14 23:07 |
trmanco | they were also people pressuring for jono to go that way | Oct 14 23:07 |
jono | schestowitz I raised topics,, and you said they were not true | Oct 14 23:07 |
jono | which is cool | Oct 14 23:08 |
voltronw | schestowitz: what things? | Oct 14 23:08 |
jono | its all part of the debate :) | Oct 14 23:08 |
schestowitz | Including some allegations from the anti-lInux slanderers who attack me instead | Oct 14 23:08 |
AlanBell | if it wasn't a tough interview it wouldn't have been so interesting! | Oct 14 23:08 |
trmanco | everything went pretty smooth | Oct 14 23:08 |
jono | schestowitz as I said before, I wanted to raise criticisms leveled at you and give you an opportunity to respond on the air | Oct 14 23:09 |
schestowitz | jono: don't worry about it | Oct 14 23:09 |
schestowitz | IT was similar in the OOXML interview | Oct 14 23:09 |
jono | schestowitz I was also concious to not talk about you when you had finished the interview, I think that would be innapropriate | Oct 14 23:09 |
schestowitz | Where the boradcaster and hosts are all aligned against the guest. I know Leo is a fan of Miguel; he said so. | Oct 14 23:09 |

trmanco | at the end... | Oct 14 23:10 |
jono | schestowitz we were not aligned against you, we were just asking a range of open ended questions | Oct 14 23:10 |
AlanBell | was the boycott-boycottnovell site raised at all, I didn't catch the whole thing | Oct 14 23:10 |
schestowitz | jono: let me clarify that I have no resentment | Oct 14 23:10 |
schestowitz | But the alignment of question was push-polling | Oct 14 23:10 |
schestowitz | Portraying me as unreasonable | Oct 14 23:10 |
jono | schestowitz cool, and I have absolutely no resentment of you | Oct 14 23:10 |
schestowitz | Then implying that I am a "spammer" and abuser because of what other people do | Oct 14 23:10 |
jono | I just wanted to give you an opportunity to come on and discuss the project | Oct 14 23:10 |
schestowitz | Or that "everyone is against me" | Oct 14 23:10 |
trmanco | AlanBell: it was continually "spammed" on the irc channel only | Oct 14 23:11 |
schestowitz | A bit like someone going on FOx :-p | Oct 14 23:11 |
jono | schestowitz I didnt imply it, I very clearly said I dont believe you are spamming, but there is maybe a responsibility to help clarify that boycottnovell is not affiliated with those spammers | Oct 14 23:11 |
jono | which I think wouild be healthy for the project | Oct 14 23:11 |
trmanco | that was already posted on BN | Oct 14 23:11 |
trmanco | something similar at least | Oct 14 23:12 |
schestowitz | jono: out of curiousity, have you had similar experience of misrepresentation? | Oct 14 23:12 |
schestowitz | That's the type of thing that put Shane off | Oct 14 23:12 |
schestowitz | Like folks from India who protested | Oct 14 23:12 |
jono | erm, not really, sometimes people will publicly state their view and say that I would share it | Oct 14 23:12 |
jono | which is not the case | Oct 14 23:12 |
schestowitz | He thought they got arrested or something | Oct 14 23:12 |
jono | I will typically try and clarify that if that is the case | Oct 14 23:12 |
jono | schestowitz wow, really? | Oct 14 23:12 |
schestowitz | Many readers mailed me and mailed him afterwards to clarify | Oct 14 23:12 |
schestowitz | And he wasn't posting cause he didn't have time, not cause of opposition really | Oct 14 23:13 |
schestowitz | He was offline for a WHOLE month at one point | Oct 14 23:13 |
schestowitz | I wish we had discussed this before, jono | Oct 14 23:13 |
schestowitz | As that would prevent making the wrong impression | Oct 14 23:13 |
jono | schestowitz discussed what? | Oct 14 23:14 |
jono | shane? | Oct 14 23:14 |
schestowitz | For instance, yes. | Oct 14 23:14 |
schestowitz | Shane and I are in touch, but he's rarely on the Web | Oct 14 23:14 |
jono | ahhh I see | Oct 14 23:15 |
ajm | I feel (as an outsider, not knowing anything about the project), that it didn't seem to have a negative slant (probably only because I trust jono bacon before you (schestowitz)), but obviously not by jono's design or plan. At the end though I feel like you schestowitz should of told people that they should look at the IRC or join the mailing list for a while to get a true sense of the project. | Oct 14 23:15 |
schestowitz | In fact, after the DDOS attacks he lost interest in some of the mess cause we worked for days against the host to put the site back up, but it would fall over with the DDOS | Oct 14 23:15 |
schestowitz | ajm: the issues were covered with a slanted IMHO | Oct 14 23:15 |
schestowitz | Such as the given impression that the gripe is with developers | Oct 14 23:16 |
schestowitz | They follow orders mostly | Oct 14 23:16 |
schestowitz | It's about the management level | Oct 14 23:16 |
jono | schestowitz I don't think it was so much slanted, but sure I have an opinion, but it was important for me to give you a microphone to respond | Oct 14 23:16 |
jono | and you did respond | Oct 14 23:16 |
