dyfet | well, kde had a vision for that, for being a means to deliver kde apps everywhere. This means it is interesting in it's own way. | Dec 12 01:50 |

DaemonFC | well, I've got my eye on GNOME still for a few interesting possibilities that are in the pipeline | Dec 12 07:45 |
DaemonFC | and may materialize within the next release or two | Dec 12 07:45 |
Ender2070 | all mono related | Dec 12 07:45 |
kecskebak | GNOME is a fantastic desktop, but it's being trashed | Dec 12 07:46 |
DaemonFC | none are | Dec 12 07:46 |
Ender2070 | People in Gnome want it out of GNU | Dec 12 07:46 |
DaemonFC | the possibilities I'm interested in are the voice/video support for MSN and Yahoo Messengers | Dec 12 07:46 |

DaemonFC | the new glass-like effects | Dec 12 07:46 |

DaemonFC | it's about eating the bacon burger and fries knowing you'll probably keel over of a heart attack | Dec 12 07:48 |

kecskebak | I agree | Dec 12 07:58 |
kecskebak | Inkscape is a fork though :) | Dec 12 07:58 |

Ender2070 | as with kde4 | Dec 12 08:02 |

Ender2070 | microsoft doesnt maintain everyones software either | Dec 12 08:16 |
DaemonFC | most of the problems I've had in Windows are entirely Internet Explorer related | Dec 12 08:16 |
DaemonFC | well, over time they usually release compatibility update packs, so more things start working again | Dec 12 08:16 |
Ender2070 | you never even considered the posibility that perhaps FreeNX is broken, you just pointed fingers at Fedora | Dec 12 08:16 |
DaemonFC | I've already seen one of those for Windows 7 | Dec 12 08:17 |
DaemonFC | when I've had problems with Fedora, it's typically been a bad update | Dec 12 08:17 |
Ender2070 | lol ok | Dec 12 08:17 |
Ender2070 | i bet you havent tried fedora in years | Dec 12 08:17 |

Ender2070 | lol | Dec 12 08:19 |
Ender2070 | bad design then | Dec 12 08:19 |
DaemonFC | it doesn't actually replace anything until it unloads most of the system, just before it's ready to reboot | Dec 12 08:19 |
DaemonFC | you don't want a security patch not taking effect until the user reboots the system days or weeks later | Dec 12 08:19 |
Ender2070 | actually | Dec 12 08:20 |
Ender2070 | i dont want my pc to reboot unless i've told it to do so | Dec 12 08:20 |
DaemonFC | it doesn't by default | Dec 12 08:20 |
Ender2070 | yes it does, unless you turn off updates | Dec 12 08:20 |
Ender2070 | which isnt default | Dec 12 08:21 |
DaemonFC | it gives you a bubble telling you it will apply them the next time you turn off or reboot | Dec 12 08:21 |

DaemonFC | it actually scares me that they don't know what to make of their own crash reporting tool's output which is supposed to assume that you don't know what happened and that's why it's automated | Dec 12 08:28 |
Ender2070 | yeah they didnt want to support an old version | Dec 12 08:28 |
Ender2070 | inkscape was close to releasing a new version | Dec 12 08:28 |
kecskebak | In that case I think there's a case for replacing the old version with an update with the release version | Dec 12 08:28 |

kecskebak | I was really scared of the .rpm system from what I'd heard about it before I tried Fedora, but it gave me no problems at all when I tried Fedora | Dec 12 08:30 |
kecskebak | That's why I hadn't tried Fedora years ago | Dec 12 08:30 |
Ender2070 | Fedora 12 implemented delta rpm's for updates too | Dec 12 08:30 |
Ender2070 | yum uses them | Dec 12 08:30 |
Ender2070 | it makes updates much smaller by only updating stuff that has changed | Dec 12 08:30 |

Ender2070 | thats nice, novell sucks | Dec 12 08:31 |
DaemonFC | they came up with them | Dec 12 08:31 |
kecskebak | That's such a good idea. One of the reasons it's good to get rid of Mono on Ubuntu even if you don't have a problem with it being a patent trap is the huge size of updates | Dec 12 08:31 |

Ender2070 | Redhat is their enemy | Dec 12 08:33 |
Ender2070 | they refused to sign the evil deal novell did | Dec 12 08:33 |
Ender2070 | Redhat actually innovates too | Dec 12 08:34 |
Ender2070 | Novell just buys open source companies so it appears to innovate | Dec 12 08:35 |
Ender2070 | Just like how MS buys companies so it appears to innovate | Dec 12 08:35 |

kecskebak | I think Ubuntu wants to "make Linux easy" - KDE isn't easy. I don't think my wife would get on with it. | Dec 12 08:38 |
kecskebak | But I think it should stand behind both | Dec 12 08:39 |

Ender2070 | i would recommend going to the classic menu, and everything else will seem just like any other desktop | Dec 12 08:39 |
Ender2070 | the desktop widgets can be useful if you make use of them | Dec 12 08:40 |
Ender2070 | they even support apple's widgets | Dec 12 08:40 |
kecskebak | First impressions count a lot, I think it should have the most straightforward desktop to start with if it is aiming at new users | Dec 12 08:41 |

cubezzz | I've seen stuff on CMS that I still don't see in Linux | Dec 12 08:48 |
Ender2070 | thats probably due to Qt being a very advanced platform | Dec 12 08:48 |

Ender2070 | x86 or whatever, is usually cheaper | Dec 12 08:53 |
Ender2070 | cheaper usually wins | Dec 12 08:54 |
Ender2070 | hence, ARM might win | Dec 12 08:54 |
cubezzz | ah... that's true, but x86 isn't the cheapiest | Dec 12 08:54 |

DaemonFC | yeah, they have to pay you backpay if you're fighting them that long (minus six months), but a lot of good waiting 3 years for a lump sum does you while you're losing everything you own now | Dec 12 10:19 |
DaemonFC | my aunt got a backpay check for $10,000 which was supposed to go to her caseworker, but Social Security fucked up and mailed out to her directly | Dec 12 10:21 |

shreddar | I guess I'll have to wait until people stop buy DVD's and watching Cable in lue of Netflix, Hulu, Roku and the usual Bittorrent. | Dec 12 17:04 |
shreddar | Then as the Networks and Movie companies will sink down into irrelevance they'll start trying to compete again. | Dec 12 17:06 |
shreddar | I guess the difference with Movies and Music is the Ipod. | Dec 12 17:12 |
shreddar | The Ipod highlighted the downsides to DRM with music because it made downloading music more a convenience. | Dec 12 17:14 |
shreddar | There is no such device for movies except maybe Roku. | Dec 12 17:14 |
shreddar | Maybe Amazon On Demand is the iTunes to Roku's iPod. | Dec 12 17:15 |
shreddar | With Amazon VOD or whatever they call it (I don't use it because of DRM) customers might wonder why they can't watch shows on another device or one without a internet connection (just a guess). | Dec 12 17:18 |
shreddar | But I haven't been seeing a revolution as I had with the Itunes service. | Dec 12 17:19 |
shreddar | Maybe it's because Roku is just a device that streams shows rather than stores shows in internal memory. | Dec 12 17:21 |
shreddar | With the iPod you are incurraged to use up the large amount of memory you get. (even if that means putting songs on there you don't own) | Dec 12 17:24 |
shreddar | For the Movies/Shows version of a iPod the only thing I know that fit the bill is Apple TV. | Dec 12 17:25 |
shreddar | The thing is Apple isn't highly interested in it. At least not yet. | Dec 12 17:26 |
shreddar | It's just an experiment for them now. | Dec 12 17:26 |
shreddar | Nevermind Apple TV isn't really a storage device it just streams from the computer. | Dec 12 17:28 |
shreddar | So really there isn't a iPod for the Movies/Shows, yet. | Dec 12 17:29 |
*chm has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) | Dec 12 17:29 | |
shreddar | I guarantee you that if they made a device that was made for owning shows rather than renting them customers would ask for more control over their property. (eventually someone like emusic would come along and offer it to them) | Dec 12 17:32 |

shreddar | I think books will likely become DRM-free and server independent sometime soon. | Dec 12 17:49 |
shreddar | Thanks to Amazon's Nineteen Eighty-Four fiasco. | Dec 12 17:49 |
shreddar | There are already ebook readers that support regular PDF's (stored locally) on the market. | Dec 12 17:51 |
shreddar | It's only a matter of time before online retailers start offering DRM-free ebooks. | Dec 12 17:53 |
shreddar | Amazon's will be the last to do so ofcourse. | Dec 12 17:53 |
shreddar | It's pathetic having DRM-free music but they still had the balls to put that crap in ebooks. | Dec 12 17:54 |
shreddar | I wish Apple would make a ibook or something but they won't. I think the main reason they even made the iPod was to eventually come out with the iPhone/iTouch computers. | Dec 12 17:57 |
shreddar | I guess they must be done with that strategy. | Dec 12 17:58 |
shreddar | That's probably why Apple TV is just a streaming device. | Dec 12 17:59 |
shreddar | It sucks that there are so few integrated Hardware/Software makers now. | Dec 12 18:00 |

Ender2070 | shreddar - good point, replacing evil with evil doesnt make anything better | Dec 12 19:40 |

schestowitz | That goes back to 2008 | Dec 12 19:42 |
schestowitz | Microsoft knows how many people installed Firefox | Dec 12 19:42 |
schestowitz | It gets a list of installed apps upon winupdate | Dec 12 19:43 |
DaemonFC | Ender2070: So what happens when Microsoft "extends" Chrome with Windows Presentation Foundation, Silverlight, ClickOnce....? | Dec 12 19:43 |
DaemonFC | they will if Chrome becomes important enough to them | Dec 12 19:43 |
DaemonFC | most users didn't even know or know why they should care when that stuff was trojaned into Firefox | Dec 12 19:43 |

shreddar | If Windows was free and open source you could: Modify the customize logo as well as many other restricted alterations. Replace IE with a more modern alternative web browser. Maybe make it boot up 7 secs. Make it crash less. | Dec 12 21:31 |
shreddar | Port it Spark, PPC, ARM. | Dec 12 21:32 |
