schestowitz | In India, for example, cronies for the British were used to keep their fellow citizens under foreign control | Nov 16 01:46 |

Azalyn | I don't think anyone really trusts them. | Nov 16 01:58 |
schestowitz | Azalyn: that pact is not a legal contract | Nov 16 01:59 |
Azalyn | But right now though, I am not worried by IBM. | Nov 16 01:59 |
Azalyn | I am worried about Microsoft | Nov 16 01:59 |
Azalyn | and Apple | Nov 16 01:59 |
Azalyn | Microsoft because they have managed to create a situation where people don't even know what software *is*, they view a computer like any other appliance, and just like your ordinary consumer doesn't contemplate an engine swap for a car, they do not even fathom that it's *possible* to have something other than windows on their computers. | Nov 16 02:00 |
Azalyn | And Apple, because they have this rabid fanbase of zealots that follow them despite the fact that they are no less malicious than Microsoft. | Nov 16 02:00 |
Azalyn | Back when Real tried to interoperate with the iPod to give people an alternative to itunes or whatever, the apple zombies rose up and attacked real, for trying to give them more options. | Nov 16 02:01 |
Azalyn | Where as with IBM, I don't see anything they could do that would be dangerous to us. | Nov 16 02:04 |
schestowitz | Yes, Microsoft makes people think of it as "PC" | Nov 16 02:05 |
schestowitz | Where it can only run one thing, against "Apple" | Nov 16 02:05 |
schestowitz | IBM still feels like a government agency | Nov 16 02:06 |

DaemonFC | they hand you off 5-6 times, don't know what Linux is, ask if you mean you're on a Mac | Nov 16 19:18 |

ender2070 | in canada you would be able to file a complaint with the competition bureau | Nov 16 19:23 |

schestowitz | serk01: first thing that came to mind | Nov 16 23:00 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz uses the mono version of Solitaire.exe | Nov 16 23:00 |

schestowitz | Do we need an official funeral? | Nov 16 23:01 |
_Hicham_ | yes, with Miguel mourning it | Nov 16 23:01 |
schestowitz | Maybe we should do videos more often. It's all about showing that "Linux" is fun and advanced, not that "brown Ubuntu desktop" most people have in mind. | Nov 16 23:03 |
schestowitz | _Hicham_: don't worry, he'll live. He made a lot of money from it. | Nov 16 23:03 |
_Hicham_ | ubuntu should choose fancy colors | Nov 16 23:04 |
_Hicham_ | brown is ugly | Nov 16 23:05 |
_Hicham_ | it is the color of s*** | Nov 16 23:05 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz can make some great artwork | Nov 16 23:05 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : don't worry, I will fork openSUSE, and put ur picture instead of Novell's logo | Nov 16 23:06 |

_Hicham_ | no, MS won't use GPL | Nov 16 23:27 |
_Hicham_ | they have their own Open Source License | Nov 16 23:27 |

schestowitz | _Hicham_: they bought it | Nov 16 23:43 |
schestowitz | KeyHole | Nov 16 23:43 |
ender2070 | i would blame the authors guild for the books, they are just as evil in that situation - demanding royalties for books they dont own | Nov 16 23:43 |
schestowitz | IIRC, Maps predates it or overlaps it somewhat | Nov 16 23:43 |
_Hicham_ | and by the way, Chromium is progressing fast | Nov 16 23:44 |
_Hicham_ | though there are things i didn't like about it | Nov 16 23:44 |
schestowitz | brb | Nov 16 23:44 |

_Hicham_ | but IMHO, it will become more heavy than gecko | Nov 16 23:45 |
_Hicham_ | first thing, its source code, wow, it is pretty huge ! | Nov 16 23:46 |
_Hicham_ | 700MB ! | Nov 16 23:46 |
ender2070 | noooo | Nov 16 23:46 |

_Hicham_ | ender2070 : go grub its sources | Nov 16 23:47 |
_Hicham_ | huh | Nov 16 23:47 |
_Hicham_ | then u never compiled it | Nov 16 23:47 |
ender2070 | no, i used a ppa for ubuntu before | Nov 16 23:47 |
_Hicham_ | i compile mozilla all the time | Nov 16 23:47 |
_Hicham_ | but chromium, wow , too heavy for my slow connection | Nov 16 23:47 |
_Hicham_ | i compile xulrunner in exactly one hour | Nov 16 23:48 |
_Hicham_ | but chromium takes some time, though compiled against webkit | Nov 16 23:48 |
_Hicham_ | if we make an analogy, gecko is superior in that regard | Nov 16 23:49 |
_Hicham_ | because if u compile firefox against xulrunner, u need less than 5 min | Nov 16 23:49 |
