cubezzz | it's a pity about Novell, but life goes on | Feb 02 00:02 |
Chips_B_Malroy | in time, Novell will be forced to sell out, its just a question of time | Feb 02 00:02 |
Chips_B_Malroy | as they do not put enough into opensuse anymore | Feb 02 00:02 |
Chips_B_Malroy | except for Mono and Moonlight, which MS foots the bill for | Feb 02 00:02 |
DaemonFC | yeah, a lot of things are too dependent on Red Hat to be healthy though | Feb 02 00:03 |

Chips_B_Malroy | I can't ever see M$ buying OpenSuse from Novell though | Feb 02 00:03 |
cubezzz | they had Xenix | Feb 02 00:03 |
Chips_B_Malroy | later all | Feb 02 00:03 |
*Chips_B_Malroy has quit (Quit: Page closed) | Feb 02 00:03 | |

schestowitz | DaemonFC: yes, nuclear winter and greenhouse | Feb 02 00:42 |

tessier | DaemonFC: Definitely | Feb 02 00:45 |

schestowitz | What will orcl do with zfs? | Feb 02 02:47 |
DaemonFC | of course none of this would be a problem if you could defrag your ext4 volume after the conversion | Feb 02 02:47 |
schestowitz | it has Chris Mason working on btrfs | Feb 02 02:48 |
FurnaceBoy | yes, specifically zfs, since btrfs is still immature :) | Feb 02 02:48 |

schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: what for? | Feb 02 02:48 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: ZFS is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful market differentiator for SOlaris. | Feb 02 02:49 |
DaemonFC | it just goes down the top 10 most heavily fragged files on the partition until it runs out of time (you assign it in seconds) or it makes 10 passes | Feb 02 02:49 |
DaemonFC | it's fairly simple | Feb 02 02:49 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: you're familiar with HFS+' on-the-fly defragmentation? | Feb 02 02:49 |
DaemonFC | no | Feb 02 02:49 |
DaemonFC | isn't HFS+ Apple? | Feb 02 02:49 |
FurnaceBoy | yes. it has done on the fly defrag for about 10 yrs now | Feb 02 02:50 |
DaemonFC | I've heard lots of not nice things about it then | Feb 02 02:50 |
FurnaceBoy | heh | Feb 02 02:50 |
FurnaceBoy | well, i've used it for 20 years, it's extremely fast and mature | Feb 02 02:50 |
FurnaceBoy | but it's also obsoleted by ZFS :) | Feb 02 02:50 |
DaemonFC | it seems the only way to be safe on Linux is to fallback to ext3 | Feb 02 02:50 |

DaemonFC | well, any file system can be corrupted, but the delayed allocation doesn't really make you very safe from data loss either | Feb 02 02:51 |
DaemonFC | if the system goes down before it commits the queued writes | Feb 02 02:51 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: on linux I use reiser3. also mature. | Feb 02 02:51 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: no write in place filesystem has an answer for that. | Feb 02 02:51 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: nor does RAID | Feb 02 02:51 |
DaemonFC | the reason ext4 is so much slower than it was is because they're committing their writes much mroe often now | Feb 02 02:52 |

FurnaceBoy | "sort of" | Feb 02 02:52 |
FurnaceBoy | you can still experience arbitrary corruption | Feb 02 02:52 |
DaemonFC | meh, if you're worried about what could happen if the system loses power, buy a UPS or stay with ext3 | Feb 02 02:53 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: look at some copy-on-write filesystems. e.g. NILFS2, in the linux world | Feb 02 02:53 |
DaemonFC | I doubt most users will experience lots of data loss with Ext4, but when it happens it can be ugly | Feb 02 02:53 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: fundamentally different from write-in-place. | Feb 02 02:53 |
DaemonFC | I'd really rather use XFS if it comes down to it because it has the same risks as Ext4 but it's faster in most ways | Feb 02 02:54 |
FurnaceBoy | sigh | Feb 02 02:54 |
DaemonFC | Ext4 is just "more official" | Feb 02 02:54 |
FurnaceBoy | i give up. there is more to filesystems than these set of ancient designs... | Feb 02 02:54 |
FurnaceBoy | did you notice NILFS2 integrated in 2.6.31? | Feb 02 02:55 |
DaemonFC | FurnaceBoy: No I didn't | Feb 02 02:55 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: worth checking out, as it is fundamentally different from all the others you have been talking about | Feb 02 02:55 |
DaemonFC | I'm kind of hoping that Oracle GPL's ZFS | Feb 02 02:56 |
DaemonFC | or dual licenses it or something | Feb 02 02:56 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: it is time to move away from 30 year old filesystem designs | Feb 02 02:56 |
DaemonFC | they probably won't | Feb 02 02:56 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: well even so, you'll get COW in the form of NILFS2 and btrfs | Feb 02 02:56 |
FurnaceBoy | DaemonFC: but why not just try OpenSolaris anyway? | Feb 02 02:56 |
FurnaceBoy | it would certainly be educational. | Feb 02 02:56 |
DaemonFC | I tried btrfs but it was on Pre- Fedora 10 Rawhide | Feb 02 02:57 |
DaemonFC | they had *just* added it | Feb 02 02:57 |
FurnaceBoy | you can play with zones, for instance. | Feb 02 02:57 |

FurnaceBoy | ZFS on your laptop? with what redundancy? | Feb 02 03:00 |
DaemonFC | whatever settings are the default, I haven't really bothered myself to play with it | Feb 02 03:02 |
FurnaceBoy | well, there are 2 ways, ideally redundancy is an extra device | Feb 02 03:03 |
FurnaceBoy | but you can ask it to duplicate data one one device, redundantly | Feb 02 03:03 |
FurnaceBoy | won't help you if the whole drive goes, though | Feb 02 03:04 |
FurnaceBoy | i don't see zfs as very useful on laptops | Feb 02 03:04 |
FurnaceBoy | until they ship with >1 drive :) | Feb 02 03:04 |

oiaohm | Windows 7 is techicnally in better condition than Vista but that is not hard. schestowitz | Feb 02 12:43 |
omar | Hi all. | Feb 02 12:43 |
*amarsh04 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | Feb 02 12:44 | |
oiaohm | Tallken: Windows 7 did not cause a sales increase. | Feb 02 12:44 |
omar | oiaohm, I don't believe that any Winblows version is any better than the other. | Feb 02 12:44 |
Tallken | ? | Feb 02 12:44 |
oiaohm | So consumer perception is not that great. Tallken | Feb 02 12:44 |
oiaohm | Its really simple to say you sold billions of licences when you give all charities a free upgrade to windows 7 on all there licences. Tallken | Feb 02 12:45 |
omar | oiaohm, They're all as vulnerable as each other, they came as a result of a shameful crime committed by the thief bill gates. | Feb 02 12:45 |
omar | CORRECTION: .. and they all came as a result of a shameful crime committed by the thief bill gates. | Feb 02 12:46 |
oiaohm | IE Windows 7 has not really sold faster than any past Windows OS either. It is part a dumping trick. | Feb 02 12:46 |
Tallken | i was not aware of that | Feb 02 12:46 |
MinceR | they don't only claim they sold billions of licenses, they also claim they've donated billions of dollarsx | Feb 02 12:46 |
MinceR | s/.$// | Feb 02 12:47 |
Eruaran | Consumer perception changes when their bank sends them an alert and we find a rootkit on their system. | Feb 02 12:47 |

schestowitz | Tallken: see the post | Feb 02 12:47 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: yes, it's better than Vista | Feb 02 12:47 |

oiaohm | Ok Vista is not the worst version of windows ever. That title still owns to Windows ME | Feb 02 12:49 |
Eruaran | NO | Feb 02 12:49 |
Eruaran | ME uses less RAM | Feb 02 12:50 |
Eruaran | :) | Feb 02 12:50 |
oiaohm | ME would do all kinds of warped thing to you. | Feb 02 12:50 |
oiaohm | Uninstll programs by magic. | Feb 02 12:50 |
oiaohm | Lose settings. Reboot while running. | Feb 02 12:50 |
Eruaran | Vista made it hard for users to find what was once Add/Remove Programs | Feb 02 12:50 |
oiaohm | It was so bad infact MS was forced to recall it in a lot of countires. | Feb 02 12:51 |
oiaohm | Ie Windows ME. | Feb 02 12:51 |
oiaohm | Vista was not quite bad enough to force recall. | Feb 02 12:51 |
MinceR | vista does all kinds of warped things to you, too | Feb 02 12:51 |
Tallken | schestowitz, fait enough | Feb 02 12:51 |
Eruaran | Vista was beta softwaer | Feb 02 12:51 |
Eruaran | *softwaer | Feb 02 12:51 |
MinceR | nah | Feb 02 12:51 |
Eruaran | argh | Feb 02 12:51 |
MinceR | they never reach beta quality | Feb 02 12:51 |
Eruaran | *software | Feb 02 12:51 |
Eruaran | hah | Feb 02 12:51 |
oiaohm | Basically Vista is number 2 in the worst MS OS ever. | Feb 02 12:51 |
MinceR | only the "ok, now we can throw away this prototype now" quality, sometimes | Feb 02 12:51 |
oiaohm | Remember windows me was kocked toether in half a year. | Feb 02 12:52 |
oiaohm | You cannot even call it a prototype. | Feb 02 12:52 |
Eruaran | Windows is like Pinnochio | Feb 02 12:52 |
Eruaran | "someday I'm gonna be a real boy" | Feb 02 12:52 |
Eruaran | "someday I'm gonna be a real OS" | Feb 02 12:52 |
Eruaran | uhmm | Feb 02 12:53 |
Eruaran | I retract that | Feb 02 12:53 |
Eruaran | :p | Feb 02 12:53 |
oiaohm | Yep it a insult to Pinnochio | Feb 02 12:53 |

MinceR | oiaohm: "mockup" then? | Feb 02 12:54 |
Eruaran | I noticed late last year Microsoft released the latest in a long line of vaporware vids | Feb 02 12:55 |
Eruaran | "courier" | Feb 02 12:55 |
Eruaran | ZunePad | Feb 02 12:55 |
oiaohm | mockup would be about the right description for Windows ME. It looked Ok but nothing worked. | Feb 02 12:56 |
oiaohm | Funny thing is now we are starting to see havery norman do adds for Windows 7. Any one else having big chains advertise windows 7. | Feb 02 12:58 |
Eruaran | Hardly Normal | Feb 02 12:59 |
Eruaran | I saw my first Windows 7 Starter notebook the other day | Feb 02 12:59 |
Eruaran | What an abysmal thing | Feb 02 13:00 |
Eruaran | The local supermarket is now selling Acer eMachines netbooks for under $400 | Feb 02 13:01 |
Eruaran | WIth XP... | Feb 02 13:01 |
amarsh04 | which supermarket, Eruaran? | Feb 02 13:01 |
Eruaran | Coles | Feb 02 13:01 |
oiaohm | Ok another australian Eruaran | Feb 02 13:02 |
amarsh04 | wouldn't be so bad if you could get a windows refund | Feb 02 13:02 |
oiaohm | XP you can get a refund windows 7 you cannot. | Feb 02 13:02 |
oiaohm | They changed the licence. | Feb 02 13:02 |
oiaohm | It has to go past australian fair trading to see if the licence change is legal. Might turn out not to be under Australian law. | Feb 02 13:03 |
amarsh04 | I'm sure that ms would have tried to change the licence on the xp shipped with netbooks as well | Feb 02 13:03 |
Eruaran | I think its legal if the user agrees to it | Feb 02 13:03 |
Eruaran | Which of course, if you don't agree with it, whatever is in the license doesn't apply to you | Feb 02 13:04 |
oiaohm | Problem is the restocking and handlign change allowances in the new windows 7 licences. | Feb 02 13:04 |
oiaohm | XP shipped on netbooks is still the old licence. | Feb 02 13:04 |
oiaohm | The old XP licence prevented hardware makers from chanaging restocking fees and the like Eruaran | Feb 02 13:05 |
Eruaran | And the old bugs | Feb 02 13:05 |
oiaohm | Ie the licence that applied to who you were returning it to. Eruaran | Feb 02 13:05 |
Eruaran | i c | Feb 02 13:05 |
oiaohm | So now its country laws alone. | Feb 02 13:06 |
oiaohm | Returning XP on netbooks is like 15 dollars. | Feb 02 13:06 |
oiaohm | Basically not worth a lot of people time. | Feb 02 13:06 |
Eruaran | I personally wouldn't bother | Feb 02 13:07 |
Eruaran | Just put on what distro I like | Feb 02 13:07 |
oiaohm | If it was like 200 dollars it would be worth the time. | Feb 02 13:08 |
oiaohm | ie the price of XP netbook version is the reason why MS has not bothered up dating that licence. amarsh04 | Feb 02 13:08 |
amarsh04 | good point oiaohm | Feb 02 13:14 |
amarsh04 | I'd still like to be able to get one of those netbooks, break the seal and remove xp from it in front of Acer staff if need be and get a refund | Feb 02 13:15 |
oiaohm | Lot of times I wish I could say send my the laptop no OS. | Feb 02 13:21 |

trmanco | yeah | Feb 02 15:19 |
trmanco | Im not far from toronto | Feb 02 15:19 |

trmanco | I mean, very close to oakville | Feb 02 15:21 |
FurnaceBoy | then you can take subway sure | Feb 02 15:21 |
FurnaceBoy | but it can be more interesting to grab a street car | Feb 02 15:21 |
trmanco | that is still chinese for me | Feb 02 15:21 |

FurnaceBoy | it's very efficient, $3 gets you a trip ticket, including transfers to buses and streetcars | Feb 02 15:24 |
FurnaceBoy | yuo can make transfers as long as your trip is continuous (no stopovers) with no backtracking. | Feb 02 15:25 |
FurnaceBoy | so you can cross the town for $3 | Feb 02 15:25 |
trmanco | not bad | Feb 02 15:25 |

DaemonFC | more like, when they start shooting at me, I don't have to cower and pray | Feb 02 19:58 |
DaemonFC | that's for Canadians | Feb 02 19:58 |
FurnaceBoy | no, because you'll be perforated. | Feb 02 19:58 |
FurnaceBoy | well, our streets are safe. we like it that way. | Feb 02 19:58 |
DaemonFC | your police are incompetent even by police standards | Feb 02 19:59 |

DaemonFC | MinceR: I HATE the people that make a claim that's totally ridiculous and then when you point out that they haven't proven it, they assert that they are right because you haven't proven it false | Feb 02 20:12 |
Kietelaar | then nothing is a fact | Feb 02 20:12 |
DaemonFC | scientists can't go out and assert the unprovable as true just because nobody can disprove them | Feb 02 20:12 |
DaemonFC | at that point it is a hypothesis | Feb 02 20:13 |
MinceR | indeed | Feb 02 20:13 |
Kietelaar | i agree with that. | Feb 02 20:13 |
DaemonFC | there is a hypothesis that aspartame may be dangerous, not a theory, not a proven fact | Feb 02 20:13 |
DaemonFC | it is a proven fact that nicotine is dangerous | Feb 02 20:14 |
cubezzz | I avoid aspartame as much as I avoid doze | Feb 02 20:14 |
DaemonFC | if 40 years went by with nicotine on the market and nobody could offer any evidence that it was dangerous, I wouldn't see the big deal in consuming it | Feb 02 20:15 |
cubezzz | uh, what about lung cancer? | Feb 02 20:15 |
Kietelaar | thats not nicotine | Feb 02 20:15 |
Kietelaar | thats the tar | Feb 02 20:15 |
Kietelaar | and smoke | Feb 02 20:15 |
DaemonFC | nicotine doesn't cause lung cancer | Feb 02 20:15 |
cubezzz | hmmm | Feb 02 20:16 |
cubezzz | so it doesn't do anything bad? | Feb 02 20:16 |
*oiaohm has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Feb 02 20:16 | |
DaemonFC | nicotine is a neurotoxin | Feb 02 20:16 |
DaemonFC | but it's far from being the worst single thing in a cigarette | Feb 02 20:16 |
*oiaohm (~oiaohm@unaffiliated/oiaohm) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 02 20:16 | |
DaemonFC | they put things in cigarettes that they don't even know what health effects it causes | Feb 02 20:17 |
DaemonFC | because it makes them taste better or more addictive | Feb 02 20:17 |
DaemonFC | or what have you | Feb 02 20:17 |
cubezzz | I've never smoked actually | Feb 02 20:17 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: I did for a while | Feb 02 20:17 |
DaemonFC | I stopped | Feb 02 20:17 |
Kietelaar | DaemonFC do you know about tobacco? i mean the type that is sold in little bags or packs and not in cigarettes. the type you role. is it less destructive? | Feb 02 20:17 |
cubezzz | there's these green cigarettes now | Feb 02 20:18 |
DaemonFC | Kietelaar: No, it's basically the 2nd rate stuff they won't use in normal cigarettes | Feb 02 20:18 |
DaemonFC | I call them floor sweepings | Feb 02 20:18 |
DaemonFC | you also smoke more of them because they don't have the same amount of nicotine in them | Feb 02 20:19 |
DaemonFC | so they're probably worse for you in the long run | Feb 02 20:19 |
Kietelaar | DaemonFC second rate? why? | Feb 02 20:19 |
DaemonFC | can't use them for whatever reason | Feb 02 20:19 |
DaemonFC | don't pass quality control | Feb 02 20:19 |
Kietelaar | ok | Feb 02 20:19 |
DaemonFC | Marlboro or Camel or whoever wants quality, as in they have a distinctive uniform taste and all that | Feb 02 20:20 |
DaemonFC | that's why the generic cigarettes are so much worse-tasting | Feb 02 20:20 |
DaemonFC | they're not going on brand, they go on cheapness | Feb 02 20:20 |
cubezzz | I dont' see many people smoking these days | Feb 02 20:20 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: Every smoker ends up with a brand they prefer if you've noticed | Feb 02 20:21 |
cubezzz | watch films from the 40's though, and everyone's puffing away | Feb 02 20:21 |
DaemonFC | I always got two packs of Camel Menthol 100's every morning | Feb 02 20:21 |
DaemonFC | that was expensive :P | Feb 02 20:21 |
Kietelaar | DaemonFC but that tobacco is also on brand. its camel its lucky strike its drum etc etc. | Feb 02 20:21 |
Kietelaar | they also produce rolling tobacco | Feb 02 20:22 |
Kietelaar | its not popular in the us but it is in some countries in europe | Feb 02 20:22 |
DaemonFC | oh, I thought you were referring to the US, yeah here the loose rolling tobacco is nasty | Feb 02 20:22 |
DaemonFC | there's really no brand names for it | Feb 02 20:22 |
Kietelaar | okay thats different then | Feb 02 20:23 |
Kietelaar | where i live its more popular than cigarettes and its pretty much only brand names | Feb 02 20:23 |
DaemonFC | I thought I 'd be clever one time and save some money by getting a rolling machine, filter tubes, and a pouch of menthol loose tobacco | Feb 02 20:23 |
DaemonFC | and ended up making it through just because I had bought it | Feb 02 20:23 |
DaemonFC | Kietelaar: It's cheap here because of the 2nd rate deal and the fact that it's barely taxed | Feb 02 20:24 |
Kietelaar | yeah makes sense | Feb 02 20:24 |
DaemonFC | 20 Camel cigarettes will run you $4.58 a pack | Feb 02 20:24 |
DaemonFC | 20 rolled cigarettes will cost you maybe $1.50 all told | Feb 02 20:24 |
Kietelaar | its not that cheap in europe haha | Feb 02 20:25 |
DaemonFC | rollies are commonly associated with poor people | Feb 02 20:25 |
DaemonFC | even those on welfare | Feb 02 20:25 |

DaemonFC | it's from Indonesia | Feb 02 20:27 |

Kietelaar | olol | Feb 02 20:28 |
Kietelaar | thats a nice joke | Feb 02 20:28 |

Chips_B_Malroy | http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/160139 Quote: "In the fourth quarter of 2009, consumers bought 90 million PCs, up 22 percent from the same quarter in 2008, a clear sign that buyers were ready for something new. Prices plummeted in 2009, with the price of the average laptop falling to $581, down a whopping 23 percent from 2008." | Feb 02 22:19 |
oiaohm | Yep so up 22 percent down 1 percent in overall profit about Chips_B_Malroy | Feb 02 22:20 |
oiaohm | So the presure on MS to cut prices is going to keep on increasing. | Feb 02 22:21 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm: What good are your elections when they don't even fear you enough to stop passing such horrible laws? | Feb 02 22:21 |
Chips_B_Malroy | The race to the bottom by OEM's and MS. As Apple controls the over $1000 laptop market in the USA selling a 90% of that share | Feb 02 22:21 |
Chips_B_Malroy | <oiaohm> yes | Feb 02 22:21 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft is a parasite on the OEMs | Feb 02 22:22 |
DaemonFC | even Dell has practically admitted it, quietly | Feb 02 22:22 |
Chips_B_Malroy | of course, they suck all the profits away from the OEM's | Feb 02 22:22 |

oiaohm | Really MS Holding profits up is good for Linux. It puts more presure on OEM's to look for other solutions. | Feb 02 22:23 |
DaemonFC | Windows turns a thin profit margin into a razor thin one for OEMs | Feb 02 22:23 |
DaemonFC | especially small ones that can't get the huge bulk deals | Feb 02 22:23 |
DaemonFC | the same copy of Windows that costs Dell $50 may cost a smaller OEM $70 | Feb 02 22:24 |
DaemonFC | so it cripples their ability to compete with large OEMs | Feb 02 22:24 |
oiaohm | Even for dell on some devices 50 dollars is going to become non tolleratable. | Feb 02 22:26 |
Chips_B_Malroy | MS thought it could get the price up with Vista/7 as it needed a lot more hardware resources (more memory, more video card memory etc, faster cpu, bigger hd to handle the bloat), But users rejected this by and large. In the time that computer hardware became fast enough that cheaper computers would now run the newer version of Vista/Mohave/Seven, the hardware prices came down also, making the MS stategy worthless. | Feb 02 22:30 |

Chips_B_Malroy | Touch screens, which were the next big thing (if you believe M$) were supposed to drive up prices. But it seems users instead voted with their wallets and mostly passed by touch screens. | Feb 02 22:50 |
oiaohm | This is the second time around with touch screens. | Feb 02 22:51 |
oiaohm | None of the modern touch screen tech addresses the old problems of large touch screens and humans. | Feb 02 22:52 |
oiaohm | Small touch screens you have somewhere to rest you hand doing the controls. | Feb 02 22:52 |
cubezzz | any ideas for alternatives to blogger? They are axing ftp support | Feb 02 22:53 |
Chips_B_Malroy | <oiaohm> Touch Screens are very old. MS tried to claim to be innovated and take the credit for Touch Screens. On MS Watch a long time ago, I pointed out that touch screens were part of Video Poker Machines (which are just a computer) in casinos since the 80's. | Feb 02 22:53 |
cubezzz | I'd like an open source solution | Feb 02 22:53 |

schestowitz | Yes | Feb 02 23:46 |
schestowitz | Well... | Feb 02 23:46 |
schestowitz | Madoff does the same | Feb 02 23:46 |
schestowitz | But they are "big" banks | Feb 02 23:46 |
schestowitz | So they are off the hook | Feb 02 23:46 |
jweyrich | most bankers do. if it isn't ponzi, it's another scheme. pyramid, whatever. | Feb 02 23:47 |
schestowitz | Yes | Feb 02 23:47 |
schestowitz | Lending | Feb 02 23:47 |

jweyrich | money dictates. | Feb 02 23:47 |
schestowitz | Or Bush | Feb 02 23:47 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Roy, you see, most western countries are in the same economic boat, so to speak. They are all in doubt, mostly | Feb 02 23:47 |
schestowitz | It's not Obama's fault quite | Feb 02 23:47 |
schestowitz | But he could maybe let them drown | Feb 02 23:47 |
jweyrich | they're the source of power to the government. | Feb 02 23:47 |
schestowitz | I'd love to have seen it | Feb 02 23:48 |

schestowitz | The film crew I met yesterday said they can't film anywhere near the bank | Feb 02 23:48 |
oiaohm | I wish I could find the one from denton here explaining how the finance market works. | Feb 02 23:48 |
schestowitz | The banks in .ch are very sensitive about public attention | Feb 02 23:48 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Bama might be a little better than Bush, but we deserve better than both. Sadly I think we will not get that. | Feb 02 23:49 |
schestowitz | I have a good one, oiaohm | Feb 02 23:49 |

jweyrich | let me count: maddoff, AIG< ebbers, scrushy, krueger... more? | Feb 02 23:52 |
schestowitz | It is not being taught at schools (black box mentality) | Feb 02 23:52 |
schestowitz | Teach kids about money, don't explain what it is | Feb 02 23:52 |
schestowitz | I love making people stare when I ask them a question like, "what is money. Explain to me." | Feb 02 23:52 |
jweyrich | when I was a kid, I thought it was just "passing the card", or using the "cheque". lol | Feb 02 23:53 |
schestowitz | I guess some people didn't hear about countries like Cambodia where money was flying in the streets, totally worthless | Feb 02 23:53 |
schestowitz | People would not bother picking it up from the ground | Feb 02 23:53 |
schestowitz | cheque is funnier | Feb 02 23:53 |
schestowitz | it's variable | Feb 02 23:53 |
cubezzz | money is crystalized effort | Feb 02 23:54 |
schestowitz | it's a note from your bank like a note from your mommy saying, "pay danny with some apples" | Feb 02 23:54 |
Chips_B_Malroy | money in its current form is only a "promise." | Feb 02 23:54 |
schestowitz | It used to be echangeable | Feb 02 23:54 |
Chips_B_Malroy | nothing more | Feb 02 23:54 |
schestowitz | With gold in reserves | Feb 02 23:54 |
oiaohm | Depends on the money. | Feb 02 23:54 |
schestowitz | In a way, you still can, but no guarantees | Feb 02 23:54 |
oiaohm | I do have a few real gold coins. | Feb 02 23:54 |
jweyrich | we could create a new currency as well :) | Feb 02 23:54 |
jweyrich | "that's worth X" | Feb 02 23:55 |
schestowitz | jweyrich: Nectar cards! | Feb 02 23:55 |
Chips_B_Malroy | The Romans may have been one of the first to debase coins, using coins that only had a coating of precious metals | Feb 02 23:55 |
cubezzz | why not just go back to coins for everything then? | Feb 02 23:55 |
jweyrich | US + canada + mexico are moving to a unified currency, and only dozens of people know that. | Feb 02 23:55 |
cubezzz | forget about paper | Feb 02 23:55 |
schestowitz | jweyrich: in some communal experiments in the 20th century people just exchange goods | Feb 02 23:55 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Then the Arabs invented paper money | Feb 02 23:55 |
schestowitz | Milk, meat, wheat, bricks..... | Feb 02 23:55 |
schestowitz | Chips_B_Malroy: no way! | Feb 02 23:56 |
jweyrich | yeah. that's where the "power" born. | Feb 02 23:56 |
schestowitz | According to Bush, the Arabs are just Barbarism | Feb 02 23:56 |
oiaohm | Hmm jweyrich simple for people who cross the usa boarder. | Feb 02 23:56 |
schestowitz | And Iraq is a hellhole, according to the neocons | Feb 02 23:56 |
jweyrich | oiaohm: the unique focus is to save the economy of USA. | Feb 02 23:56 |
jweyrich | they're copying EUR. | Feb 02 23:57 |
jweyrich | when more countries influence how much the money is worth, becomes less likely to collapse. | Feb 02 23:58 |
Chips_B_Malroy | The economy of the USA, just like most western nations in debt, is likely beyond saving | Feb 02 23:58 |
oiaohm | poor logic jweyrich | Feb 02 23:58 |
oiaohm | Combind money does not prevent collapse | Feb 02 23:58 |
oiaohm | If anything it makes it larger. | Feb 02 23:58 |
jweyrich | I haven't said that. | Feb 02 23:58 |
oiaohm | Or more stealth like. | Feb 02 23:59 |
oiaohm | Ie areas get drained of money. | Feb 02 23:59 |
jweyrich | take inflation/deflation for instance. | Feb 02 23:59 |
oiaohm | Combind does not stop that from happening. | Feb 02 23:59 |
