ender2070 | i guess | Feb 22 05:32 |
ender2070 | for an *mp3* encoder | Feb 22 05:32 |
DaemonFC | meh, it's on par with LAME and about 6 times faster | Feb 22 05:32 |
ender2070 | if you want mp3 files | Feb 22 05:32 |
DaemonFC | if you have to batch encode a shit ton of FLACs and you want it done quickly, you want Helix MP3 | Feb 22 05:33 |
DaemonFC | if you want slightly better quality and don't care how long the process drags on, use LAME | Feb 22 05:33 |
ender2070 | I have a few lines of python code that can do that | Feb 22 05:33 |

ender2070 | if something comes out better than ogg, i can reencode from flac | Feb 22 05:35 |

sebsebseb | _Goblin: I was thinking something like that or whatever earlier | Feb 22 18:08 |
sebsebseb | anyway it's pathetic | Feb 22 18:08 |
sebsebseb | it's a joke really | Feb 22 18:08 |
sebsebseb | even Microsoft want people to no longer use IE6 | Feb 22 18:08 |
sebsebseb | and loads of business's and such still do | Feb 22 18:08 |
MinceR | no surprise | Feb 22 18:10 |
MinceR | it probably runs on winblows versions no newer ie will run on | Feb 22 18:10 |
MinceR | so m$ would want those people to buy newer winblows licenses :> | Feb 22 18:10 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: nah people can do Internet Explorer 8 in XP as well | Feb 22 18:11 |
sebsebseb | and IE7 | Feb 22 18:11 |
sebsebseb | it's IE 6 on XP, that loads of business's and such are still doing :( | Feb 22 18:11 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I cannot understand why all Enterprise simply migrate to FF..its proven to be far more solid. | Feb 22 18:11 |
sebsebseb | one reason I don't want to work in Windows IT | Feb 22 18:11 |
sebsebseb | I would have to support mornoic software choices from those in charge | Feb 22 18:11 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: yep plus it has most market share now than any version of IE on it's own, it's just with older versions of IE, IE still has most of that market | Feb 22 18:12 |
sebsebseb | I think most of today's IE 6 market share, is business's and such that haven't upgraded to a later version of IE or to a better browser | Feb 22 18:12 |
sebsebseb | not home users | Feb 22 18:13 |
MinceR | and what about winblows 2000 and winblows nt 3 and 4? | Feb 22 18:13 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: some home users will still be using 2000 | Feb 22 18:13 |
MinceR | enterprises might be relying on broken "web"apps that rely on ie bugs | Feb 22 18:13 |
sebsebseb | nt3 and 4 is more of a business thing, not much of that out there still being used today, I guess? | Feb 22 18:13 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: well there is that yes | Feb 22 18:13 |
sebsebseb | the intranet stuff | Feb 22 18:13 |
sebsebseb | ,but they could have a better browser for the web | Feb 22 18:13 |
MinceR | and RadioActiveX | Feb 22 18:13 |
sebsebseb | ,but then we get this, only one program for a task, stupidity thing | Feb 22 18:14 |
sebsebseb | it seems we have to wait untill 2012 or 2014 | Feb 22 18:14 |
sebsebseb | for IE 6 to proerly die | Feb 22 18:14 |
sebsebseb | unless loads of websites stop supporting it, Google have already started doing that | Feb 22 18:15 |
sebsebseb | XP was going to die this year, but then extended by four years, that means IE 6 as well hrm | Feb 22 18:15 |
sebsebseb | I bought a computer magazine earlier, yeah aimed at Windows users. so not really for me, decided to buy anyway. Yes a bit of a waste of money really, but oh well. Been a while since I bought anything like that. Anyway Ubuntu got mentioned twice briefly in the magazine :) | Feb 22 18:16 |
sebsebseb | and it was telling people about propritary security programs and so on hrm | Feb 22 18:16 |
FurnaceBoy | the problem perceived by many people is not so much that Ffx, etc, are better browsers, but the ridiculous added costs of supporting IE[6] | Feb 22 18:17 |
FurnaceBoy | billions of wasted effort | Feb 22 18:17 |
sebsebseb | oh jono other people mentioning Ubuntu on TV and in magazines and such, but no Canonical adverts yet | Feb 22 18:17 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: IE 6 isn't that secure also, but yet people are using it for their email accounts and what not | Feb 22 18:18 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: right, windows | Feb 22 18:18 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: keyloggers | Feb 22 18:18 |
sebsebseb | yeah it really annoys me when I go some where | Feb 22 18:18 |
sebsebseb | to some place | Feb 22 18:18 |
FurnaceBoy | how could any reasonable person feel secure using it for online banking | Feb 22 18:18 |
sebsebseb | and the computers | Feb 22 18:18 |
sebsebseb | and yep XP and IE 6 uh | Feb 22 18:18 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: sure, but most users that use it for that are ignorant, and so don't know | Feb 22 18:19 |
FurnaceBoy | yes | Feb 22 18:19 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: I woudn't trust logging into any online account, on one of those computers | Feb 22 18:20 |
sebsebseb | in some organisatoin that has XP and IE 6 | Feb 22 18:20 |
sebsebseb | also it's worrying how goverment organisations have data about us stored on Windows | Feb 22 18:20 |

sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: I don't like being some where and seeing people using IE 6, or even worse having to use it myself, but not much I can do really | Feb 22 18:28 |
FurnaceBoy | as a web dev i can say that supporting it is extremely costly | Feb 22 18:28 |
FurnaceBoy | it's like a different web. | Feb 22 18:28 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: yeah I wanted to be a pro website creater | Feb 22 18:28 |
sebsebseb | untill I reolized that | Feb 22 18:28 |
FurnaceBoy | first you code for the standard Web, then you code for the Microsoft web | Feb 22 18:28 |
FurnaceBoy | doubles the effort | Feb 22 18:28 |
FurnaceBoy | still', it's a self correcting situation | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | the sites I had made weren't that good really by a long way, and also when I found out that IE 6 would be a right pain to support | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | for a proper site | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | yeah I know | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | first you code for standards compliant browsers | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | then for IE | Feb 22 18:29 |
FurnaceBoy | either the web standardises on MS(their dream) or they get marginalised and the standard web wins (which is what will actually happen) | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: I am a bit annoyed actsaully a site I hand coded back in 2004 | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | a basic site | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | which is what the guy wanted, well it got replaced about three months ago or something like that | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | with a damn Frontpage site, so bad code yeah :( | Feb 22 18:29 |
cubezzz | no, first I code for the web, then I'm finished :) | Feb 22 18:29 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: that guy didn't know I hand coded and such though, he doesn't know about web standards, and webpage coding | Feb 22 18:30 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: and he probably still uses Internet Explorer, but you know that's a joke really, to have a site that was hand coded that validated, to be replaced by a Frontpage site | Feb 22 18:30 |
sebsebseb | however the site didn't look that good, but if he wanted better he could have told me. | Feb 22 18:30 |
cubezzz | you have to have the balls to say no to Microsoft jobs | Feb 22 18:31 |

ender2070 | do you know of any modules for a reverse count down? | Feb 22 18:34 |
sebsebseb | I woudn't write propritary software | Feb 22 18:34 |
cubezzz | nope :) | Feb 22 18:34 |
ender2070 | such as counting up from a specific date | Feb 22 18:34 |
ender2070 | boo :( | Feb 22 18:34 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: well not jobs that will take me at the moment | Feb 22 18:34 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: or probably not anyway | Feb 22 18:34 |
ender2070 | i tried searching, i might have to write one | Feb 22 18:34 |
MinceR | ic | Feb 22 18:34 |
sebsebseb | plus they won't be around here | Feb 22 18:35 |
cubezzz | I'd ask in the drupal forums though if I needed that | Feb 22 18:35 |
ender2070 | oooo good idea | Feb 22 18:35 |
MinceR | also, the "won't write proprietary software" criterion is much harder to fulfill, afaik | Feb 22 18:35 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: I don't program | Feb 22 18:35 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: I am more of a support person | Feb 22 18:35 |
MinceR | ic | Feb 22 18:35 |
sebsebseb | I enjoy helping people with computer, getting them away from Windows, or at least dual booting | Feb 22 18:35 |
cubezzz | I'm not sure I like Fedora 12 :-/ | Feb 22 18:35 |
cubezzz | it's being a pain in the butt | Feb 22 18:36 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: most of my computer help has been online | Feb 22 18:36 |
sebsebseb | on IRC yeah | Feb 22 18:36 |
ender2070 | ty cubezzz | Feb 22 18:36 |
ender2070 | whats wrong with F12? | Feb 22 18:36 |
cubezzz | I can't compile mplayer for pulse | Feb 22 18:36 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: I am wating for the times to change | Feb 22 18:36 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: and when it does enough, maybe then i'll work in technology | Feb 22 18:37 |
ender2070 | why not? | Feb 22 18:37 |
MinceR | what work do you do now, sebsebseb? | Feb 22 18:37 |
ender2070 | and did u check rpmfusion's ? | Feb 22 18:37 |
sebsebseb | now I just think this computer stuff is a hobby, and i'll have to do something else as a job | Feb 22 18:37 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: unemployeed | Feb 22 18:37 |
cubezzz | ender2070, no, I want to compile from source | Feb 22 18:37 |
ender2070 | what type of errors are you getting | Feb 22 18:38 |
FurnaceBoy | cubezzz: i agree with the general approach you take. at a previous job we managed to avoid browser specific code | Feb 22 18:38 |
FurnaceBoy | cubezzz: but heavy use of CSS means that most of your standards compliant coed will simply break on IE6 | Feb 22 18:38 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: you don't have a computer job by choice or? | Feb 22 18:38 |
FurnaceBoy | cubezzz: there's no way of avoiding the extra effort/cost | Feb 22 18:38 |
ender2070 | i'd advise you try #fedora-devel - they might be able to help with compiling errors | Feb 22 18:38 |
cubezzz | yeah ender2070, I'll look at it later :) | Feb 22 18:39 |
ender2070 | those guys kick ass | Feb 22 18:39 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: sometimes interests don't really work out carrerwise, and so end up doing something else | Feb 22 18:39 |
cubezzz | they won't like me though :) | Feb 22 18:39 |
ender2070 | sure they will | Feb 22 18:39 |
ender2070 | as long as you dont ask any dumb user-level questions | Feb 22 18:39 |
ender2070 | such as where is my K menu? | Feb 22 18:39 |
cubezzz | a guy who uses fc1 a lot? and Linux 2.4? :) | Feb 22 18:39 |
ender2070 | you know what you're doing, you should be fine | Feb 22 18:40 |
cubezzz | I might just revert back to 11 | Feb 22 18:40 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: What do you do? | Feb 22 18:40 |
cubezzz | I'm just more used to 2.4 stuff | Feb 22 18:40 |
ender2070 | did you see if fedora/redhat had to use any patches on their mplayer | Feb 22 18:40 |
cubezzz | ender2070, it seems that f12 takes a hard line on mp3 stuff | Feb 22 18:41 |
MinceR | recently i was a software developer, now i'm looking for a new job | Feb 22 18:41 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[qu1j0t3] Typing this on the most cheap-ass Chinese made keyboard ever. "Aron" brand. Works though. Loud enough to really annoy Skype conferencees | Feb 22 18:41 | |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[jonobacon] Anyone know how to show PDF pages or slides in ustream.tv? | Feb 22 18:41 | |
ender2070 | f-anything does | Feb 22 18:41 |
cubezzz | so I might just convert all my audio to ogg | Feb 22 18:41 |
cubezzz | no | Feb 22 18:41 |
ender2070 | oh yes | Feb 22 18:41 |
cubezzz | that's not true | Feb 22 18:41 |
ender2070 | its their policy | Feb 22 18:41 |
cubezzz | fc1 didn't | Feb 22 18:41 |
ender2070 | since about f8 i think | Feb 22 18:42 |
cubezzz | ok then :) | Feb 22 18:42 |
cubezzz | to me, that's still new | Feb 22 18:42 |
ender2070 | yeah | Feb 22 18:42 |
ender2070 | rpmfusion exists for that reason | Feb 22 18:42 |
ender2070 | stuff fedora/redhat is too paranoid to ship | Feb 22 18:42 |
cubezzz | I'll just convert to ogg, it's a good idea anyways | Feb 22 18:42 |
ender2070 | lawl | Feb 22 18:42 |
ender2070 | im at the library right now | Feb 22 18:42 |
ender2070 | there a book, Fedora Core 2 for dummies w/ CD | Feb 22 18:43 |
ender2070 | need an upgrade? ;) | Feb 22 18:43 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[satipera] Early stages, B/shock 2 feels like Fat Of The Land from The Prodigy, liked previous not sure about what followed. I am fool that rushed in | Feb 22 18:43 | |
cubezzz | nah :) | Feb 22 18:43 |
cubezzz | I am really happy with my fc1 box | Feb 22 18:43 |
ender2070 | :) | Feb 22 18:43 |
ender2070 | im a 2.6.0 pioneer | Feb 22 18:43 |
cubezzz | highly modded you know :) | Feb 22 18:43 |
ender2070 | i jumped over asap | Feb 22 18:43 |
cubezzz | I bet I got the most modern fc1 on the planet | Feb 22 18:44 |
ender2070 | i had suse 8 or 9 and grabbed an experimental kernel upgrade | Feb 22 18:44 |
ender2070 | when yast was still Qt | Feb 22 18:45 |
cubezzz | I have an F10 box, a F11 box and a F12 box | Feb 22 18:45 |
cubezzz | plus Embedix, and fc1 | Feb 22 18:45 |
FurnaceBoy | FC1 :) | Feb 22 18:46 |
cubezzz | I'm FC1-man :) | Feb 22 18:46 |
ender2070 | my friend thought FC1 was funny because it still had a lot of redhat branding and path names | Feb 22 18:47 |
cubezzz | I'm almost at the point now where I understand all my modules | Feb 22 18:47 |
cubezzz | yes, that's true | Feb 22 18:47 |
ender2070 | he made his own kernel to hack wifi at the time | Feb 22 18:47 |
cubezzz | it's like when Scotty went on the new Enterprise, and started bitching about everything | Feb 22 18:48 |
ender2070 | lol | Feb 22 18:49 |
ender2070 | I guess you could view it in that perspective | Feb 22 18:50 |
ender2070 | I view it with a perspective that constant evolution will deliver perfection | Feb 22 18:50 |
ender2070 | out with the old, in with the new | Feb 22 18:50 |
cubezzz | New isn't always better | Feb 22 18:50 |
ender2070 | as long as it works | Feb 22 18:50 |
ender2070 | usually the case for me | Feb 22 18:51 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: My job uses computers for admin, but no, its as far removed from computing as you can get. | Feb 22 18:51 |
*jono has quit (Read error: Operation timed out) | Feb 22 18:51 | |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: yeah exactly even these non technical jobs | Feb 22 18:51 |
sebsebseb | will use computers | Feb 22 18:51 |
sebsebseb | and they tend to use XP and IE 6 these days :( | Feb 22 18:51 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: yep. thats my work combo | Feb 22 18:52 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: some moron in charage and then yep that | Feb 22 18:52 |
cubezzz | ender2070, a lot of devs still use 2.4 kernel for things | Feb 22 18:52 |
*jono (~jono@ubuntu/member/jono) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 22 18:52 | |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: and get this...most of our apps are custom browser based...theres no need for us to even be using Windows or IE | Feb 22 18:52 |
sebsebseb | well when XP runs out of support properly | Feb 22 18:52 |
sebsebseb | IE 6 will pretty much die | Feb 22 18:53 |
sebsebseb | unless it already happended | Feb 22 18:53 |
cubezzz | It's dead Jim | Feb 22 18:53 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - really? I don't think I agree other than legacy systems | Feb 22 18:53 |
sebsebseb | also when XP runs out I guess can't just upgrade to Windows 8 ( whatever it's going to be called ) | Feb 22 18:53 |
sebsebseb | so quite a lot more clean installs, and people buying new computers | Feb 22 18:53 |
sebsebseb | and so all of a sudden | Feb 22 18:53 |
cubezzz | routers? TVs? that leap-frog thing? :) | Feb 22 18:54 |
ender2070 | sebsebseb - Windows 8 is 128-bit, think of the ram requirements | Feb 22 18:54 |
sebsebseb | quite a lot of less computers, that aren't being used as part of a botnet anymore? | Feb 22 18:54 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - they use 2.4? theres so many power saving advancements made to 2.6 due to powertop | Feb 22 18:54 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: so complain to whoever is in charge of the IT? oh right yeah, probably not much point, since they won't listen to you probably | Feb 22 18:54 |
sebsebseb | ender2070: uh? | Feb 22 18:54 |
*FurnaceBoy dropped 2.4 ~ 205 | Feb 22 18:54 | |
FurnaceBoy | 2005* | Feb 22 18:54 |
cubezzz | maybe the backport some stuff | Feb 22 18:54 |
sebsebseb | ender2070: you mean like 64bit? | Feb 22 18:54 |
ender2070 | sebsebseb- 128-bit | Feb 22 18:55 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: lol...spot on. | Feb 22 18:55 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: tickless, etc | Feb 22 18:55 |
sebsebseb | ender2070: 16bit 32bit 64bit and now 128bit ???? | Feb 22 18:55 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: moore's law baby | Feb 22 18:55 |
ender2070 | according to ms win8 will support it | Feb 22 18:55 |
*FurnaceBoy giggles | Feb 22 18:55 | |
FurnaceBoy | ender2070: IE9 will be standards compliant, too! | Feb 22 18:55 |
ender2070 | LOL | Feb 22 18:56 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: uh I hope so | Feb 22 18:56 |
FurnaceBoy | ender2070: no really this time it's true! | Feb 22 18:56 |
ender2070 | its really a joke, the 128 bit comment - but they do claim to support it | Feb 22 18:56 |
FurnaceBoy | ender2070: they finally worked out how to do it | Feb 22 18:56 |
_Goblin | win8 will support everything..acording to MS...they will say anything to make a sale....http://openbytes.wordpress.com/2010/02/21/microsoft-trustworthy-computing/ | Feb 22 18:56 |
phIRCe-BNc | Title: Microsoft Trustworthy Computing?!? « OPEN BYTES cave quid dicis, quando, et cui. .::. Size~: 40.24 KB | Feb 22 18:56 |
sebsebseb | IE 8 was going to have standards mode by default, but then it didn't happen or whatever | Feb 22 18:56 |
sebsebseb | don't know that much about IE 8 | Feb 22 18:56 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: it will be better next time | Feb 22 18:56 |
cubezzz | I know windows 10 will be 100% FOSS right? :) | Feb 22 18:56 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - tickletss, etc | Feb 22 18:56 |
ender2070 | tickless | Feb 22 18:57 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: it's propritary software | Feb 22 18:57 |
sebsebseb | development is slow | Feb 22 18:57 |
sebsebseb | except a new version every three years or so for OS's | Feb 22 18:57 |
sebsebseb | that are propritary | Feb 22 18:57 |
sebsebseb | anyway 2014 | Feb 22 18:57 |
sebsebseb | around then Windows 8 will come out | Feb 22 18:57 |
ender2070 | c# 4 is out right? perhaps when they write their os on it, it will create that much more bloat | Feb 22 18:57 |
ender2070 | hence, 128-bit | Feb 22 18:57 |
_Goblin | "it will be better next time" is what the MS faithful say when a problem is found. | Feb 22 18:57 |
sebsebseb | maybe 2012 even, after all that's when Microsoft want business's to leave XP by the latest | Feb 22 18:57 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: that's what the Ubuntu people say as well | Feb 22 18:58 |
sebsebseb | when there is something that isn't liked | Feb 22 18:58 |
cubezzz | ender2070, my router is relatively new, it's definitely got 2.4 | Feb 22 18:58 |
sebsebseb | and later Ubuntu's hrm | Feb 22 18:58 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - what router | Feb 22 18:58 |
cubezzz | dlink di-604up | Feb 22 18:58 |
ender2070 | what makes you think it has linux? | Feb 22 18:58 |
_Goblin | but in my experience with Ubuntu it is....I know 9.10 was slated, but I found the opposite, it has been rock solid. | Feb 22 18:58 |
cubezzz | I have the source code :) | Feb 22 18:59 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: features got removed in 9.10 | Feb 22 18:59 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: good features | Feb 22 18:59 |
ender2070 | do they say why they dont use 2.6 | Feb 22 18:59 |
sebsebseb | ,because of silly upstreams | Feb 22 18:59 |
sebsebseb | Grub 2 is not needed | Feb 22 18:59 |
sebsebseb | GDM 2 is not needed | Feb 22 18:59 |
ender2070 | perhaps d-link is afraid of SCO? | Feb 22 18:59 |
ender2070 | LOL | Feb 22 19:00 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: The one I noticed was the networking options from the task bar where I could set a temp DNS server....now I have to do a gedit of resolv.conf | Feb 22 19:00 |
cubezzz | not sure really why | Feb 22 19:00 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: bye bye icons in system menu and all of places, well that's already happended, it can be turned on quite eaily graphically, but that feature has been removed now as well in 10.04 development | Feb 22 19:00 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: so now it's a gconf editor jobby | Feb 22 19:00 |
sebsebseb | to put the icons back on | Feb 22 19:01 |
sebsebseb | silly upstream Gnome | Feb 22 19:01 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - iirc, SCO claimed it owned features added to 2.6 | Feb 22 19:01 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: Ive made a bash script to do it. | Feb 22 19:01 |
sebsebseb | messing with it twice unessariley before Gnome 3, that's GDM 2 and that icons thing | Feb 22 19:01 |
ender2070 | NUMA and some other things | Feb 22 19:01 |
ender2070 | but anyways, my router is powered by 2.6 | Feb 22 19:02 |
ender2070 | so its better | Feb 22 19:02 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: also silly Ubuntu for having a version of Grub 2, that has issues when it comes to booting up other distros, well that's what I was told by one of the Ubuntu ops | Feb 22 19:02 |
ender2070 | :P | Feb 22 19:02 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: something about how it can't just boot up other distros | Feb 22 19:02 |
cubezzz | :-P | Feb 22 19:02 |
FurnaceBoy | ender2070 | perhaps d-link is afraid of SCO? <------ bwahahahahaha | Feb 22 19:03 |
ender2070 | yes | Feb 22 19:03 |
cubezzz | I'll switch to 2.6 when 2.8 comes out :) | Feb 22 19:03 |
ender2070 | I was joking obviously, hehe | Feb 22 19:03 |
FurnaceBoy | yeah | Feb 22 19:03 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[aondo] Did a test to use jack transport with Blender and Ardour3, both getting together quite nice! | Feb 22 19:03 | |
FurnaceBoy | nice one :) | Feb 22 19:03 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: more "consumer shit" in 10.04 | Feb 22 19:03 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - you might be waiting years upon years | Feb 22 19:03 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I would like to see Ubuntu use Xfce as its flagship DE. I think Xfce is mature enough now. | Feb 22 19:03 |
cubezzz | part of it is I know this system really well | Feb 22 19:03 |
cubezzz | everything works | Feb 22 19:03 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: features that I don't want for my own personal computer useage, but that "the not so average, but clever enough to try something that isn't Windows, consumer" may find useful | Feb 22 19:04 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - 2.6 is a rolling dev | Feb 22 19:04 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: we already have Ubuntu One, but music store is coming in 10.04, and those social features, which can already be tried in alpha with the updates | Feb 22 19:04 |
sebsebseb | alpha 3 this Thursday :) | Feb 22 19:04 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - its easy to learn something that doesnt change often other than bug fix updates | Feb 22 19:04 |
sebsebseb | something to vm, and not be impressed with, probably | Feb 22 19:04 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I was a beta tester for Ubuntu One...great service and although I didn't really require it, if it brings in revenue for Canonical then great...I'd personally go with Dropbox though. | Feb 22 19:05 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: what annoys me is that that ther edited fusa, is linked to the socail features, which are useless without accounts set up | Feb 22 19:05 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: so can't remove the social features, whilst keeping their edited fusa | Feb 22 19:05 |
sebsebseb | I don't like fusa anyway | Feb 22 19:05 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - personally I have a blood fued against dlink | Feb 22 19:05 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - as well as rogers and microsoft | Feb 22 19:05 |
sebsebseb | it's ok in 9.10 though, since it has a nice icon. I liked 8.10 where it had fusa and left alone, shut down and log out in system menu | Feb 22 19:05 |
cubezzz | rogers and microsoft I understand, but why dlink? | Feb 22 19:06 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: Microsoft/Yahoo will bring in some money for Canonical as well | Feb 22 19:06 |
MinceR | weren't dlink the ones that said the GPL doesn't apply to them? | Feb 22 19:06 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: also Ubuntu isn't a great distro it really isn't | Feb 22 19:06 |
sebsebseb | Mandriva :) and even more :) if they did a few things differnet | Feb 22 19:06 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I would also like to see Brasero get the boot. Although K3b is a KDE app is streets ahead of Brasero in terms of reliability and stability. | Feb 22 19:06 |
sebsebseb | for example bothering to have a 64bit version of Mandriva One | Feb 22 19:07 |
MinceR | "although"? | Feb 22 19:07 |
ender2070 | cubezzz - used to own a few dlink products, one after updating firmware hijacked my broswer and tried to sell me security software, when I worked at a large retail chain we had douchebag reps who said linux was worthless, etc | Feb 22 19:07 |
MinceR | kde apps tend to be far ahead of their competitors :> | Feb 22 19:07 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I have never had a good experience with Mandriva. | Feb 22 19:07 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: I have used brasero a few times to burn CD's it tends to work, DVD burning has been an issue | Feb 22 19:07 |
cubezzz | heh, dlink uses Linux now :) | Feb 22 19:07 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: I have had some little issues with Mandriva One 2010 here and there, nothing major though | Feb 22 19:07 |
ender2070 | when it saves them $$$ | Feb 22 19:07 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: it was mounting/unmounting I found problems with Brasero. | Feb 22 19:07 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: so still a good distro in my eyes | Feb 22 19:07 |
ender2070 | they still dont provide linux drivers for any of their hardware | Feb 22 19:07 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: and thats what I'd say about Ubuntu on my secondary rigs. | Feb 22 19:08 |
cubezzz | I don't know, I just know their routers work, I have 3 of them | Feb 22 19:08 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: I find Mandriva One 2010 better than Ubuntu 9.10 | Feb 22 19:08 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: having said that, the rig Im on at the moment is 9.10 | Feb 22 19:08 |
sebsebseb | that plymouth boot up is rather nice | Feb 22 19:08 |
sebsebseb | yes 10.04 will have Plymouth, but | Feb 22 19:08 |
ender2070 | cubezzz -lol, the dlink rep tried to say that intel made atheros, lol | Feb 22 19:08 |
sebsebseb | Fedora and Mandriva got it first | Feb 22 19:08 |
MinceR | oops, i confused d-link with linksys | Feb 22 19:08 |
sebsebseb | Fedora and Mandriva had it first | Feb 22 19:09 |
sebsebseb | Ubuntu tend to do quite a lot of things after Fedora | Feb 22 19:09 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I had one issue with 9.10 and that was popping sound....took about 1 min to sort out....Ive had nothing since.... The family use the Ubuntu PC the most and Ive had no reported probs. | Feb 22 19:09 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[ruiseabra] d@evan would like to know more about sysadmin gig before applying (salary, fringe and whether my wife would have to blame Canada ;) ) | Feb 22 19:09 | |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: yeah Ubuntu 9.10 on family computer | Feb 22 19:09 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: since the whole hard disk got re done in Janurary | Feb 22 19:09 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: since some virus or whatever had messed up XP big time | Feb 22 19:09 |
sebsebseb | in fact to the extent where, it was blue screen of deathing on the Windows CD, and so on | Feb 22 19:10 |
FurnaceBoy | w00t | Feb 22 19:10 |
FurnaceBoy | did you check ram? | Feb 22 19:10 |
sebsebseb | and it woudn't boot up, had errors | Feb 22 19:10 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: sort of | Feb 22 19:10 |
FurnaceBoy | memtest86 ftw | Feb 22 19:10 |
sebsebseb | I ran memtest for a while, but probably not as long as it should of gone | Feb 22 19:10 |
FurnaceBoy | i do it overnight | Feb 22 19:10 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: and I think Ubuntu excells as a family OS. Maybe its some inferiority complex that wants me to feel "l33t" as the reason why I am a slack fan on my main rig. | Feb 22 19:10 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: family os uhmm | Feb 22 19:10 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I really can't think of a reason why I don't have Ubuntu on all my rigs. | Feb 22 19:10 |
sebsebseb | I have a little eight year old brother, will he use the music store? nope | Feb 22 19:10 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: or at least Xubuntu | Feb 22 19:11 |
sebsebseb | will he use the Facebook and Twitter features? uh not yet | Feb 22 19:11 |
sebsebseb | maybe in a few years if they are still there | Feb 22 19:11 |
sebsebseb | will he use Ubuntu One nope | Feb 22 19:11 |
sebsebseb | Ubuntu 9.04 is a good family OS | Feb 22 19:11 |
sebsebseb | my older brother might use the social features in 10.04 | Feb 22 19:11 |
_Goblin | yes but then thats an option just like Itunes or Dropbox. Just because the service is there doesn't mean people will use it. | Feb 22 19:11 |
_Goblin | or be forced to. | Feb 22 19:11 |
cubezzz | I'm not a big fan of facebook | Feb 22 19:11 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: they remove something more useful from the Live CD | Feb 22 19:12 |
sebsebseb | for junk features | Feb 22 19:12 |
sebsebseb | yep those beautiful LInux screensavers are more useful | Feb 22 19:12 |
sebsebseb | now that's something WIndows doesn't have by default, loads of beautiful screensavers | Feb 22 19:12 |
sebsebseb | well now neither does Ubuntu by default | Feb 22 19:12 |
cubezzz | yeah got to make the cpu work when everything's idle :) | Feb 22 19:12 |
sebsebseb | loads of distros lack loads of good screensavers by default | Feb 22 19:12 |
FurnaceBoy | totally contra power saving :) | Feb 22 19:12 |
_Goblin | yes but Ive covered this on my site before...If Canonical could survive off praise from users then it would be the richest company in the world....since it needs cash like any company, services like Ubuntu One should be offered. | Feb 22 19:13 |
sebsebseb | poor Mandriva | Feb 22 19:13 |
sebsebseb | used to have the market and then something happended and lost most of it | Feb 22 19:13 |
sebsebseb | also Mandriva is nice and European | Feb 22 19:13 |
sebsebseb | Ubuntu isn't | Feb 22 19:13 |
sebsebseb | it really isn't | Feb 22 19:13 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: If the experiences in the main were similar to mine then Im not surprised. I will never try Mandriva again. | Feb 22 19:13 |
sebsebseb | oh sure they have their stuff in London and what not, but it is so not Euroepan | Feb 22 19:13 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: poor Canada in the down hill skiing by the way | Feb 22 19:14 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: the Americans were doing pretty good in it | Feb 22 19:14 |
sebsebseb | in that | Feb 22 19:14 |
sebsebseb | I wanted Europe to win :) | Feb 22 19:14 |
sebsebseb | which countrey doesn't matter | Feb 22 19:15 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: i didn't see any of the olympics | Feb 22 19:15 |
_Goblin | I want to know when anti-trust is going to look at OEM...Im not saying offer Linux (since vendors support may be a prob) but I would like the option to buy a PC without Windows. | Feb 22 19:15 |
FurnaceBoy | +1 | Feb 22 19:15 |
FurnaceBoy | OEM is almost the #1 issue | Feb 22 19:15 |
sebsebseb | +1 | Feb 22 19:15 |
FurnaceBoy | the elephant in the room | Feb 22 19:16 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: well Dell do pre installed Ubuntu in some counteries | Feb 22 19:16 |
sebsebseb | and there's zareason | Feb 22 19:16 |
FurnaceBoy | without OEM, Microsoft will have to clean up their act | Feb 22 19:16 |
FurnaceBoy | or die | Feb 22 19:16 |
_Goblin | FurnaceBoy: which is why I was confused when the EU targetted browsers. | Feb 22 19:16 |
FurnaceBoy | i don't really care which ;-) | Feb 22 19:16 |
FurnaceBoy | _Goblin: yeah | Feb 22 19:16 |
sebsebseb | http://www.zareason.com | Feb 22 19:16 |
FurnaceBoy | _Goblin: MS won that round | Feb 22 19:16 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: sadly system76 is USA and Canada only | Feb 22 19:16 |
_Goblin | I don't think its much to ask to be allowed to buy any PC without an OS... | Feb 22 19:17 |
sebsebseb | maybe Ubuntu 14.04 will be able to compete quite a lot more properly against WIndows I hope so | Feb 22 19:17 |
sebsebseb | around the same time it get's released XP will run out of support | Feb 22 19:17 |
sebsebseb | unless they extended it again of course, but that's not that likely | Feb 22 19:17 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I think the competition problems of Linux are merely due to the fact that MS has the money and paid PR to shout the loudest. | Feb 22 19:17 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: quite a lot of people thought Ubuntu 9.10 should compete properly against Windows 7 | Feb 22 19:17 |
sebsebseb | what they didn't reolize though | Feb 22 19:18 |
sebsebseb | is that Ubuntu 9.10 was never made to compete properly against Windows | Feb 22 19:18 |
_Goblin | having used Windows 7 for some time now (for a feature on my site) it is far behind even 8.04 which btw I can get looking prettier than 7. | Feb 22 19:18 |
sebsebseb | 10.04 is made to compete against Windows more, but it won't be enough to win over lots and lots of the mass's I expect | Feb 22 19:18 |
sebsebseb | and hardware issues | Feb 22 19:18 |
sebsebseb | will put people off | Feb 22 19:19 |
sebsebseb | they want things to just work | Feb 22 19:19 |
cubezzz | doze is slow | Feb 22 19:19 |
sebsebseb | they want Ubuntu to be like a free version of Windows, that can run their Windows apps and computer hardware without issues | Feb 22 19:19 |
sebsebseb | and that also is better | Feb 22 19:19 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I have only ever had ONE hardware issue...that was finding a prepaid broadband dongle that would work with Linux. | Feb 22 19:19 |
sebsebseb | Ubuntu needs to tread carefuly with the being more like Windows stuff | Feb 22 19:19 |
cubezzz | did you find one? | Feb 22 19:19 |
sebsebseb | if they do it to much, they will lose users | Feb 22 19:19 |
sebsebseb | and a lot of them | Feb 22 19:19 |
sebsebseb | same thing if they start becoming more Mac OS X like | Feb 22 19:20 |
_Goblin | cubezzz: no....(it was last year) I ended up having to replace the Linux netbook for a Windows XP one....(I blogged about it last year on my hols) | Feb 22 19:20 |
sebsebseb | someone told me yesterday in IRC | Feb 22 19:20 |
sebsebseb | they basically called Ubuntu the new Freespire | Feb 22 19:20 |
cubezzz | blah | Feb 22 19:20 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: Ive actually got quite alot of confidence in Ubuntu after speaking with Jono. | Feb 22 19:21 |
MinceR | i'll wait for 10.04 with that :> | Feb 22 19:21 |
sebsebseb | or did he put Linspire hrm | Feb 22 19:21 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: alpha 3 this Thursday | Feb 22 19:21 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: rather feature complete | Feb 22 19:21 |
sebsebseb | virtual machine test it or something | Feb 22 19:21 |
MinceR | i'd wait until the final release | Feb 22 19:21 |
MinceR | then see how much mono/bingo/m$ crap there is | Feb 22 19:21 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: they have proptiray stuff in Ubuntu | Feb 22 19:21 |
cubezzz | I just like stuff I can mod | Feb 22 19:22 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: they don't use freesoftware when they can | Feb 22 19:22 |
sebsebseb | they use Mono when they could use something that isn't Mono :D | Feb 22 19:22 |
MinceR | and DaemonFC pointed out that the user switcher applet has ubuntu one integrated | Feb 22 19:22 |
*jono has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) | Feb 22 19:22 | |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: yes but is that an issue? I mean Im using proprietary video drivers, I run proprietary games (albeit via emulation)... | Feb 22 19:22 |
MinceR | and some tray applets break if it isn't loaded | Feb 22 19:22 |
MinceR | _Goblin: the question is whether the system is functional without them | Feb 22 19:22 |
MinceR | in the case you for some reason cease to be able to use proprietary software | Feb 22 19:23 |
cubezzz | no one likes lgp? | Feb 22 19:23 |
MinceR | iirc LGP is quite into DRM | Feb 22 19:23 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I would say yes, I refuse to believe that Canonical would lead themselves down a narrow path at a time when they are not only trying to win the hearts and minds of new users but also of long time Linux users. | Feb 22 19:23 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: anyway I chat to a guy on IRC sometimes, who is worried about the commercial stuff | Feb 22 19:23 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: what Ubuntu is doing trying to make money | Feb 22 19:24 |
sebsebseb | worried about the commerlization | Feb 22 19:24 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: and without that money there is no Ubuntu. | Feb 22 19:24 |
cubezzz | today's Ubuntu could become tomorrow's Linspire | Feb 22 19:24 |
sebsebseb | how they will try and sell propritary stuff, which according to this guy, isn't free software like. or well he put something like that | Feb 22 19:24 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: Im not happy about the yahoo deal, however cash is cash. | Feb 22 19:24 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: and what they will do for money as well | Feb 22 19:24 |
sebsebseb | the yahoo deal for example | Feb 22 19:24 |
MinceR | it's possible to make money without becoming a slave of m$ | Feb 22 19:25 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: right, but some of that money will be blood money or whatever you want to call it | Feb 22 19:25 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: indeed | Feb 22 19:25 |
*jono (~jono@ubuntu/member/jono) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 22 19:25 | |
*jono has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | Feb 22 19:25 | |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: but then look at Redhat....have they jumped into bed with Microsoft or are they running a very profitable Linux outfit? | Feb 22 19:25 |
MinceR | if canonical is unable to do that, it's their problem and it's no excuse | Feb 22 19:25 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: what are you refering to? | Feb 22 19:25 |
*jono (~jono@ubuntu/member/jono) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 22 19:25 | |
sebsebseb | MinceR: yep | Feb 22 19:26 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: anyway I am planning on keeping out of the big Ubuntu channel untill April | Feb 22 19:26 |
cubezzz | no, Redhat took the high road | Feb 22 19:26 |
sebsebseb | will it work out is the thing | Feb 22 19:26 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I am refering to making a sucessful business out of Linux... Canonical will make its own decisions. It will be judged by the results and shouldnt be by second guessing possible outcomes. (IMHO) | Feb 22 19:26 |
sebsebseb | got other things I want to do and so on | Feb 22 19:26 |
sebsebseb | I spent way to much time in there last year | Feb 22 19:26 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: Jono really impressed me with his passion for Ubuntu. If he is typical of a Canonical employee then I think the future is bright for Ubuntu. | Feb 22 19:27 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: maybe you got brain washed a bit by Jono :d | Feb 22 19:28 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: lol. If you knew what I did for a living you wouldn't say that.... | Feb 22 19:28 |
jono | sebsebseb, based on my experience of _Goblin, no one could brainwash him :) | Feb 22 19:28 |
_Goblin | lol | Feb 22 19:28 |
jono | let alone a numpty like me :) | Feb 22 19:28 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: he works for them, he represents them, he has to say good stuff about Ubuntu, or risk losing his job. Wel DeamonFC said something like that before or whatever | Feb 22 19:29 |
sebsebseb | jono: I have a link actsaully that you shoudl probably read | Feb 22 19:29 |
sebsebseb | jono: that I gave _Goblin last night | Feb 22 19:29 |
jono | cool | Feb 22 19:29 |
jono | send it over, will check in a bit | Feb 22 19:29 |
jono | on the phone at the mo | Feb 22 19:29 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I think its very difficult to have proper discussions via txt. My chat with Jono was a casual chat between two people, it certainly was not PR. | Feb 22 19:30 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: remind me what PR is? | Feb 22 19:30 |
sebsebseb | means | Feb 22 19:30 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: Public relations....but if Jono is to be accused of it, then you could say that I was also speaking on behalf of who I represent. | Feb 22 19:30 |
_Goblin | and you could say that of everything I say. | Feb 22 19:31 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: upstreams mess with things | Feb 22 19:31 |
sebsebseb | sometimes | Feb 22 19:31 |
sebsebseb | I gave examples earlier | Feb 22 19:31 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: they also come out with major new versions sometimes, and try and get everyone using it | Feb 22 19:31 |
sebsebseb | Grub is a good example of that | Feb 22 19:31 |
sebsebseb | they won't support the old Grub in the offical Grub channel | Feb 22 19:32 |
sebsebseb | things keep on changing here and there | Feb 22 19:32 |
sebsebseb | and not always for the better, or at least for some of us | Feb 22 19:32 |
sebsebseb | so I am not so sure anymore about any distro having a lot of market share, and if that's really a good thing | Feb 22 19:32 |
sebsebseb | a Linux distro is like a win to loads of great software, however what's rather important is that people use a good Internet browser isntead of Internet Explorer, so then web can improve | Feb 22 19:33 |
sebsebseb | also maybe in the future, mobile will hit off loads, it looks likely, and then the desktop won't be that relivant anymore. so all this stuff is hrm | Feb 22 19:33 |
sebsebseb | it would be great if I could see the computer future, and then decide what I am going to do with my life, but sadly I can't | Feb 22 19:34 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: If you ever visit my blog you will know Im opinionated and outspoken. In the case of Ubuntu/Canonical I think the misinterpretation is mine. When people draw inference with Mono/Ubuntu they forget Mono is Novell, Canonical is Ubuntu. Canonical is not likely to be silly enough to throw its eggs into one basket and as I say I think 10.04 is going to be something special and certainly a turning point for Linux on the de | Feb 22 19:34 |
_Goblin | *misinterpretation was mine | Feb 22 19:34 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: well sure | Feb 22 19:34 |
sebsebseb | since it 's LTS | Feb 22 19:34 |
sebsebseb | many people will try Ubuntu again as a result | Feb 22 19:34 |
sebsebseb | the channel will have about uhmm 2000 users maybe? when 10.04 comes out and for a while after that | Feb 22 19:35 |
_Goblin | I would hope so. Im going to be running the next alpha for a feature on Openbytes. | Feb 22 19:35 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: that's when I want to help out a lot again in there | Feb 22 19:35 |
sebsebseb | screw Karmic | Feb 22 19:36 |
sebsebseb | got other things to do | Feb 22 19:36 |
sebsebseb | I hope they have a decant log in screen in 10.04 | Feb 22 19:36 |
sebsebseb | it's horrible in 9.10 | Feb 22 19:36 |
sebsebseb | GDM 2 in 9.10 is horrible | Feb 22 19:37 |
sebsebseb | in my opinion, and quite a few or a lot of other peoples as well | Feb 22 19:37 |
-BNi/#boycottnovell-[serk01/@serk01] recording !lo with streamripper. Can't follow the live show unfortunately at the moment. | Feb 22 19:37 | |
sebsebseb | someone went in the big support channel whenever it was now, and was saying basically that it's the uglyest thing they had ever seen, and then I told them they din't have to use it and said about kdm and I think xdm as well | Feb 22 19:38 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: the year of Desktop Linux 2016 maybe? | Feb 22 19:38 |
FurnaceBoy | is windows ready for the desktop? | Feb 22 19:38 |
sebsebseb | I mean when it has like 10% or more market share | Feb 22 19:39 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: yes and no | Feb 22 19:39 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: Windows uhmm it didn't really get where it is now with all that market share fairly | Feb 22 19:39 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: speaking of that malware thing ... read an article recently claiming Apple has a competitive advantage because their employees don't use Windows PCs, and hence are not subject to foreign espionage | Feb 22 19:39 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: which malware thing? | Feb 22 19:40 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: above -- data theft, etc. | Feb 22 19:40 |
sebsebseb | ah yes that | Feb 22 19:40 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: As long as MS and its PR machine is about, it will never be the year the Linux desktop | Feb 22 19:40 |
FurnaceBoy | +1 | Feb 22 19:40 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: foreign espionage uhmm not sure what that means, I think you mean like other counteries stealing data off other goverments? | Feb 22 19:40 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: and corporations | Feb 22 19:40 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: when it is then called "industrial espionage" hehe | Feb 22 19:41 |
sebsebseb | and criminals | Feb 22 19:41 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: look how long the MS faithful have claimed the 1% | Feb 22 19:41 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: all the same | Feb 22 19:41 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: sure, but that browser ballot screen | Feb 22 19:41 |
sebsebseb | is the start of something? | Feb 22 19:41 |
sebsebseb | altough criminals could probably take advantage of that in a bad way as well hrm | Feb 22 19:41 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: it's a market... remember the Goldman Sachs stolen code case? | Feb 22 19:41 |
sebsebseb | maybe | Feb 22 19:41 |
sebsebseb | altough well we don't know what that screen will be, exactly yet? | Feb 22 19:42 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: you can make money re-selling stolen data | Feb 22 19:42 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: too little too late, people already found out for themselves the advantages of moving from IE...those that don't know or didn't will still choose IE anyway. | Feb 22 19:42 |
FurnaceBoy | _Goblin: yep | Feb 22 19:42 |
FurnaceBoy | _Goblin: end run by MS | Feb 22 19:42 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: not quite true | Feb 22 19:42 |
_Goblin | bet the devil you know...and all that. | Feb 22 19:42 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: I think quite a lot of people will try another browser after seeing the screen | Feb 22 19:42 |
_Goblin | *better | Feb 22 19:42 |
sebsebseb | altough will the screen say why Microsoft are doing a screen? | Feb 22 19:42 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I would disagree. I would find it hard to believe those same people had not seen a single reference to another browser and tried for themselves already if they were so inclined. | Feb 22 19:43 |
FurnaceBoy | right | Feb 22 19:43 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: some people might have heard of Firefox for example, but not done it, because they thought IE was ok | Feb 22 19:43 |
sebsebseb | and then suddenly a screen | Feb 22 19:43 |
FurnaceBoy | most ppl will find it baffling | Feb 22 19:43 |
sebsebseb | and then they do Firefox | Feb 22 19:43 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: some %, sure. | Feb 22 19:43 |
MinceR | many users probably don't know they have a choice | Feb 22 19:43 |
MinceR | just like with OS-es | Feb 22 19:43 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: most ppl don't even know what a web browser is, they just want the web | Feb 22 19:43 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: right | Feb 22 19:43 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: true | Feb 22 19:44 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: so I don't think a ballot screen would make any more difference that a result on a search engine or word of mouth. | Feb 22 19:44 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: MS succeeded in equating "computer" with "Windows PC" | Feb 22 19:44 |
FurnaceBoy | MinceR: in the public mind | Feb 22 19:44 |
_Goblin | and IE with the internet. | Feb 22 19:44 |
MinceR | and "the Internet" with IE | Feb 22 19:44 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: well uhmm a few million or so people will see it? | Feb 22 19:44 |
sebsebseb | is XP going to get it as well? I hope so | Feb 22 19:44 |
FurnaceBoy | yes. | Feb 22 19:44 |
sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: I haven't been on Vista since uhmm quite a while | Feb 22 19:44 |
FurnaceBoy | yes: IE appears == the internet. which is partly why fixing that is so hard... | Feb 22 19:44 |
sebsebseb | ,but | Feb 22 19:44 |
FurnaceBoy | as hard as fixing the OEM problem.. | Feb 22 19:44 |
sebsebseb | I might get the updates soon after the screen | Feb 22 19:44 |
sebsebseb | hopeing I get it :D | Feb 22 19:45 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: but as I say if those few million have never seen another browser, how will a ballot screen convince them to change? | Feb 22 19:45 |
sebsebseb | I should be getting it | Feb 22 19:45 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: I read something before about how | Feb 22 19:45 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: any more than the exposure other browsers have already had? | Feb 22 19:45 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: it could be a bit of a bad idea, because it's like spyware in a way | Feb 22 19:45 |
sebsebseb | doing something else and then suddenly a screen pops up | Feb 22 19:45 |
sebsebseb | even a lot of the ignorant Windows users, know they shoudn't just click on random links and such, right? | Feb 22 19:46 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: like I say, I think the EU should have tackled the issue of OEM instead. | Feb 22 19:46 |
MinceR | afaik it will pop up on login | Feb 22 19:46 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: there is that | Feb 22 19:46 |
sebsebseb | ,but | Feb 22 19:46 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: IE is really a moot point and it can be argued that it does a service to everyone else since its so exploitable the criminals target that and leave the rest of us alone. | Feb 22 19:46 |
sebsebseb | in a way what browser someone uses is more important what os they use? | Feb 22 19:46 |
_Goblin | sebsebseb: I think as we move towards more web based apps, that will be the case. | Feb 22 19:47 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: well there have been fake new version of Firefox sites, recently | Feb 22 19:47 |
MinceR | it does a disservice as it damages web standards | Feb 22 19:47 |
FurnaceBoy | well, like everything MS does, imho it is very costly but temporary | Feb 22 19:48 |
_Goblin | MinceR: there is that. However how many sites have you found insaccessable due to the damage of IE? | Feb 22 19:48 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: yep it has held the web back, for quite a few years already | Feb 22 19:48 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: and Windows holds the whole of computing back years | Feb 22 19:48 |
FurnaceBoy | _Goblin: it is a significant burden on the development side | Feb 22 19:48 |
FurnaceBoy | sebsebseb: yes | Feb 22 19:48 |
MinceR | _Goblin: not sure -- i've not tried to access sites with IE for years, so if it was broken because of that or for another reason, i wouldn't know | Feb 22 19:49 |
_Goblin | FurnaceBoy: Im quite sure it is, but as I talk from more of an end-user position, its something that is rather well hidden from the masses. | Feb 22 19:49 |
FurnaceBoy | _Goblin: yes, who still think IE is 'the web' as you say | Feb 22 19:49 |
*sebsebseb lives in a world with many stupid people | Feb 22 19:49 | |
sebsebseb | not just at computers, but in general hrm | Feb 22 19:50 |

_Goblin | One just has to look at the fuss made about Aero to see how held back Microsoft has kept the user.....we've been having such luxuries for years. | Feb 22 19:52 |
sebsebseb | Aero sucks really | Feb 22 19:52 |
sebsebseb | in fact I need to have the driver for the graphics card installed it seems, for it to even work properly | Feb 22 19:53 |

sebsebseb | _Goblin: quite a lot of people are still happy with XP that use Windows | Feb 22 19:53 |
sebsebseb | and don't really see the point in later versions | Feb 22 19:53 |
sebsebseb | however those same people most of them, are likely to be forced into a later version, when it's time | Feb 22 19:54 |
FurnaceBoy | yes | Feb 22 19:54 |

sebsebseb | _Goblin: I prefer the old paint | Feb 22 19:54 |
sebsebseb | just like I prefer the old Freecell and such, to what's in Vista | Feb 22 19:55 |
sebsebseb | also wordpad the old one yeah | Feb 22 19:55 |

sebsebseb | _Goblin: What does Windows offer? | Feb 22 19:55 |

_Goblin | sebsebseb: for me, (and cubezz may agree here) there is nothing to beat Dpaint 2 | Feb 22 19:55 |
sebsebseb | well it doesn't really offer much it self | Feb 22 19:56 |
sebsebseb | it's just since it has most of that market, most apps that many people want to run, will run on it | Feb 22 19:56 |
cubezzz | ok, now you're really talking old :) | Feb 22 19:56 |

sebsebseb | _Goblin: well it's the only UK techonlogy show? | Feb 22 20:30 |
_Goblin | I wonder when Click will showcase Ubuntu 8.04LTS...if dropbox is anything to go by, around 2012. | Feb 22 20:30 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: heh | Feb 22 20:30 |
sebsebseb | nah | Feb 22 20:30 |
sebsebseb | it's not that silly | Feb 22 20:30 |
_Goblin | ;) | Feb 22 20:30 |
_Goblin | I was being flippant of course. | Feb 22 20:30 |
sebsebseb | in fact there was an episode where it showed them downloading Ubuntu | Feb 22 20:30 |
sebsebseb | and it was the latest one at the time | Feb 22 20:30 |
_Goblin | yeah...I think they gave it a full 4 mins. | Feb 22 20:31 |
sebsebseb | well I think it was the latest one, if not I guess the latest LTS | Feb 22 20:31 |
sebsebseb | yeah the world is sick in a way | Feb 22 20:31 |
sebsebseb | when it comes to all this kind of stuff | Feb 22 20:31 |
sebsebseb | they love their propritary software, and most users don't know better | Feb 22 20:31 |
_Goblin | if MS sneezes though, Click will use a whole show to say how great it is. | Feb 22 20:31 |
sebsebseb | ,but even the ones that should know better, still love their propritary software | Feb 22 20:31 |
_Goblin | nothing wrong with proprietary... | Feb 22 20:32 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: I thought they would have a whole show or nearly a whole show for Windows 7, but luckily that didn't happen :) | Feb 22 20:32 |
FurnaceBoy | there's a strain of pragmatism that likes to believe the problem is purely technical, and not political/legal | Feb 22 20:32 |
_Goblin | horses for courses. | Feb 22 20:32 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[satipera] @schestowitz better to be chided in the press than to give another office bod a career advantage , well obviously :) | Feb 22 20:32 | |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: you watch Click? | Feb 22 20:32 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: like every week? | Feb 22 20:32 |
_Goblin | I support FOSS/Linux not because its free but because its better software. I'd happily do the same if Linux was proprietary | Feb 22 20:32 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: yeah I support this stuff since it's better software, and the software freedom to an extent | Feb 22 20:33 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: most users use this stuff since it's good and "free as in price" | Feb 22 20:33 |
sebsebseb | they don't care/know about the freedoms | Feb 22 20:33 |
_Goblin | the free part is an added bonus. | Feb 22 20:33 |
_Goblin | so is the "open" | Feb 22 20:33 |
_Goblin | I sometimes think though that the FSF viewpoint can be as guilty as Microsoft in terms of "Do it our way or not at all" | Feb 22 20:34 |
_Goblin | reality is, people can and do use a mix....and thats fine. | Feb 22 20:34 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: yep most users do a mix | Feb 22 20:35 |
sebsebseb | not many people doing 100% free software | Feb 22 20:35 |
sebsebseb | also it's fine to mix Gnome and KDE apps, but some people are quite against that | Feb 22 20:35 |
_Goblin | and for me true software freedom is the ability to use both or indeed whatever they please. Where MS fails is that it attempts to lock you in and trap you. | Feb 22 20:35 |
cubezzz | my perspective is different | Feb 22 20:35 |
cubezzz | I want the source code for everything | Feb 22 20:35 |
_Goblin | cubezzz: and thats fine too. | Feb 22 20:36 |
sebsebseb | even as just an end user | Feb 22 20:36 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[satipera] Things people say..Is that Robin Hood airport in the wrong county | Feb 22 20:36 | |
sebsebseb | it should be common sense really | Feb 22 20:36 |
sebsebseb | if a program has it's source code available to the general public | Feb 22 20:36 |
sebsebseb | that's a great thing | Feb 22 20:36 |
cubezzz | it is | Feb 22 20:36 |
sebsebseb | so proggrammers from all over the world can contribute and make better | Feb 22 20:36 |
_Goblin | and the end-user benefits again. | Feb 22 20:36 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: yep Microsoft, Apple, and Adobe, are about locking people in | Feb 22 20:36 |
sebsebseb | they aren't the only technology companies of course | Feb 22 20:37 |
sebsebseb | even Google to some extent will try and lock people in a bit I guess? maybe this an example, buzz inside Gmail? | Feb 22 20:37 |
_Goblin | Ive used Buzz once....Ive yet to work out why I would need it. | Feb 22 20:37 |
cubezzz | no question about it | Feb 22 20:37 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: to what I put? | Feb 22 20:37 |
cubezzz | google is trying to lock people in, just not as bad as Microsoft | Feb 22 20:38 |
sebsebseb | I saw the video thing after it asked me if I wanted to use buzz, I haven't used it | Feb 22 20:38 |
cubezzz | you see, if GNU/Linux tried to lock people in, that would also be bad | Feb 22 20:38 |
_Goblin | I think we have to accept that any company (in an ideal world) would like to lock you in. Why would they want to see their userbase exercising their freedom of choice? | Feb 22 20:38 |
cubezzz | most people don't exercise freedom of choice | Feb 22 20:39 |
sebsebseb | I think we have to accept that companies aren't "really are friends" and not even Canonical | Feb 22 20:39 |
cubezzz | you have to want to have freedom | Feb 22 20:39 |
sebsebseb | Sun was a good company I guess | Feb 22 20:40 |
sebsebseb | I don't know that much about them | Feb 22 20:40 |
sebsebseb | anyway yeah companies aren't are friends | Feb 22 20:40 |
cubezzz | Xerox was a good company :) | Feb 22 20:40 |
sebsebseb | they just want to make money out of us and such | Feb 22 20:40 |
MinceR | xerox had incompetent management | Feb 22 20:40 |
sebsebseb | they might have produced some great/interesting products, but they want to make money out of us even so | Feb 22 20:40 |
cubezzz | well, their employees had amazing ideas | Feb 22 20:40 |
sebsebseb | companies | Feb 22 20:40 |
MinceR | despite all the computer technology they had, they insisted on focusing on dead tree documents | Feb 22 20:41 |
cubezzz | and yes, they messed up big-time | Feb 22 20:41 |
MinceR | yes, there were some great minds at PARC | Feb 22 20:41 |
sebsebseb | capitalism and consuerism hold back computing here and there, but also improve it | Feb 22 20:41 |
tessier | None of those employees would have been able to show off those good ideas if nobody in management had seen the potential and funded them. | Feb 22 20:41 |
tessier | It is very hard to leave behind a very successful photocopying business and take huge risks on a totally new business. | Feb 22 20:41 |
cubezzz | it does show being the first does not automatically mean victory | Feb 22 20:41 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: the Winter olympics show that as well | Feb 22 20:42 |
sebsebseb | :D | Feb 22 20:42 |
tessier | Hindsight is 20/20 | Feb 22 20:42 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: in fact at a disadvantage if 1st of 2nd when doing those kind of things really I guess? | Feb 22 20:42 |
sebsebseb | well if the other people know the time to beat | Feb 22 20:42 |
cubezzz | it's a constant never ending race | Feb 22 20:43 |
cubezzz | you can always fall behind | Feb 22 20:43 |
cubezzz | even the Big M | Feb 22 20:43 |

_Goblin | schestowitz: The question I'd ask of the Times is...if what they report is true, when why are more crimes being dealt with via fixed penalty notice on street? Surely if the plan was to get everyone on a database by way of an arrest then there would be no such thing as a FPN for theft or public order. | Feb 22 21:41 |

schestowitz | _Goblin: you're biased :0 | Feb 22 21:42 |

_Goblin | daemonFC: I haven't spent much time with Mint, however my Ubuntu deployements probably resemble it in terms of software installed. | Feb 22 22:01 |
DaemonFC | _Goblin, It handles about like OpenSuse, but they've made a lot of mods to Sus's Slab menu | Feb 22 22:02 |
DaemonFC | so it actually works very well | Feb 22 22:02 |
DaemonFC | rips out some awful GNOME stuff like Empathy and Evolution and gives you Pidgin and Thunderbird instead | Feb 22 22:02 |
_Goblin | To date Ive installed about 35 copies of Ubuntu....only two of those end-users have gone back to MS....Im quite proud of my achievement. | Feb 22 22:03 |
DaemonFC | makes it easier to manage the firewall | Feb 22 22:03 |
DaemonFC | has the gstreamer bad and ugly codecs and libdvdcss2 | Feb 22 22:03 |
DaemonFC | so in other words, a Windows user could pop it in and get going right away | Feb 22 22:03 |
_Goblin | DaemonFC: The only thing I remember about Mint is that its green....should really give it a look again. | Feb 22 22:03 |
DaemonFC | not have to learn the whole thing at once | Feb 22 22:03 |

_Goblin | its only been running just over a year....not bad. | Feb 22 22:05 |
DaemonFC | _Goblin, It's basically fully Ubuntu compatible, but it handles like a heavily modified OpenSuse | Feb 22 22:05 |
DaemonFC | is how I'd describe it in one line | Feb 22 22:05 |
DaemonFC | OpenSuse is a usability nightmare for one reason alone really, YaST | Feb 22 22:06 |
_Goblin | DaemonFC: I think the last ver I tried was derived from 8.04lts | Feb 22 22:06 |
DaemonFC | Synaptic is much nicer, APT repositories are easier to set up | Feb 22 22:06 |
DaemonFC | much less likely to have package conflicts in APT | Feb 22 22:06 |
_Goblin | I think....could be wrong here...that Ubuntu 9.10 now natively handles .rpm's..... | Feb 22 22:07 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] User @_Goblin has installed GNU/Linux for almost 40 people so far. Thumbs up to him... | Feb 22 22:07 | |

oiaohm | The hmm is the end of "End of SS-EOSL" That open solarias has never traditionally need since it never got phone support in the first place. | Feb 22 22:32 |
Diablo-D3 | schestowitz: no | Feb 22 22:32 |
schestowitz | " | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | Roosevelt's remedy was to create an "economic bill of rights" which would guarantee: | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | Feb 22 22:33 | |
schestowitz | 1. A job with a living wage | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | 2. Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | 3. A home | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | 4. Medical care | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | 5. Education | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | 6. Recreation | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | Feb 22 22:33 | |
schestowitz | Roosevelt stated that having these rights would guarantee American security, and that America's place in the world depended upon how far these and similar rights had been carried into practice. | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | " | Feb 22 22:33 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz, The idea was we'd get a disctator eventually if there was no term limit, kind of a Hugo Chavez type | Feb 22 22:33 |
Diablo-D3 | and goddamned roosevelt had huge fucking balls | Feb 22 22:33 |
schestowitz | "The sooner we begin, the sooner we can right this ship, cease the pointless bickering, and chart our course out of this Hell and toward the progressive promised land." | Feb 22 22:33 |
DaemonFC | they still call Chavez the President but he's never really out of office | Feb 22 22:33 |
DaemonFC | the President's signature on the process of ratification of an amendment to the US Constitution is a formality | Feb 22 22:35 |
DaemonFC | because it takes a 2/3rds majority to pass one in Congress anyway | Feb 22 22:35 |
FurnaceBoy | so, in today's america, roosevelt's score is 0/0 | Feb 22 22:35 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: open solaris never really existed | Feb 22 22:35 |
FurnaceBoy | well, except maybe for (6) which is overdeveloped | Feb 22 22:35 |
Diablo-D3 | it was just the open distro of solaris, which solaris only recently started shipping open solaris to begin with | Feb 22 22:35 |
DaemonFC | on a state level, methods to ratify the state constitution vary wildly | Feb 22 22:36 |
DaemonFC | Indiana's actually protects civil liberties of minorities from majorities better than California's, for example | Feb 22 22:37 |
DaemonFC | cause there's no way to force something to a vote by petition here | Feb 22 22:37 |
schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: maybe number (7) was "bombing the c* out of countries with oil" | Feb 22 22:38 |
DaemonFC | One year pot is legal in California, the next year it's not. One year, gay couples can get married, the next year they can't. | Feb 22 22:38 |
DaemonFC | it's more of a battle between voters and the legislature out there | Feb 22 22:39 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: Ike's fear | Feb 22 22:39 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: another loophole | Feb 22 22:39 |
DaemonFC | And I fear that in doing so, California might technically have voided their statehood | Feb 22 22:39 |
schestowitz | I've been sent some citigroup docs | Feb 22 22:39 |
DaemonFC | nobody has called them on this | Feb 22 22:39 |
schestowitz | This is digusting though | Feb 22 22:39 |
schestowitz | They bring corrupt companies back to life | Feb 22 22:39 |
schestowitz | Cause they run the system | Feb 22 22:39 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: you were expecting "The Sound of Music" ? | Feb 22 22:40 |
DaemonFC | the US Constitution says that a state government has to be a "Republic", not a Democracy | Feb 22 22:40 |
DaemonFC | so California really doesn't have a Republican form of government as long as voters are allowed to change the constitution directly :) | Feb 22 22:40 |
DaemonFC | I strongly oppose ballot measures of any kind. | Feb 22 22:41 |
DaemonFC | This is why we have representatives, not to turn around and ask us if it's OK and maybe manipulate the wording on the ballot to trick people to say yes | Feb 22 22:42 |
*Eruaran has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Feb 22 22:42 | |
DaemonFC | it's what they do out in California though | Feb 22 22:42 |
DaemonFC | In Indiana, the legislature has to put something on the ballot, a petition can't do that | Feb 22 22:43 |
DaemonFC | so it's a little better | Feb 22 22:43 |
sebsebseb | Got a Swedish 19 year old that wants a better OS, so it seems she will go Mandriva not Ubuntu | Feb 22 22:43 |
sebsebseb | she doesn't even use Facebook or Twitter so those 10.04 social features will be useless | Feb 22 22:44 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: NOW | Feb 22 22:44 |
DaemonFC | The interesting case was when in 2008, I got to vote to impeach a judge | Feb 22 22:44 |
DaemonFC | now that was cool | Feb 22 22:44 |
Diablo-D3 | nooooooOOoOOOOOooOOooOooOOooOooOOooow | Feb 22 22:44 |
Diablo-D3 | if oracle destroys solaris | Feb 22 22:44 |
Diablo-D3 | and burns the source | Feb 22 22:44 |
Diablo-D3 | and everything that had to do with it | Feb 22 22:44 |
DaemonFC | that would be nice | Feb 22 22:45 |
Diablo-D3 | then they did a good thing | Feb 22 22:45 |
DaemonFC | gets rid of another piece of fauxpen source | Feb 22 22:45 |
Diablo-D3 | solaris is an absolute horrid pile of shit | Feb 22 22:46 |

oiaohm | Some of the ideas developed in solaris have been good. But long history of internal development and the messes that causes does detract away from it usabblity Diablo-D3 | Feb 22 22:49 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: hm, i'm on your Friendfeed and i don't see that.. where did you link it? | Feb 22 22:49 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: zfs still has no peer | Feb 22 22:49 |
oiaohm | zones tech as well. openvz is getting close but is not there yet. KMS that linux only recently got Solaris had a form of it for years. Even if solaris dies it still worth while to pick over for tech. | Feb 22 22:51 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: yes I use zones | Feb 22 22:51 |
oiaohm | Biggest problem with solaris is the old historic Unix problem. We must build all our own tools. | Feb 22 22:52 |
FurnaceBoy | Diablo-D3: got a url for that China issue? | Feb 22 22:52 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: GNU | Feb 22 22:52 |
oiaohm | Most unix's avoided shipping with GNU tools. | Feb 22 22:52 |
oiaohm | At all costs. | Feb 22 22:52 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: SOlaris 10 ships with many GNU tools including gcc | Feb 22 22:52 |
oiaohm | That is only a recent change. FurnaceBoy | Feb 22 22:53 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: recent as in at least 4 yrs :) | Feb 22 22:53 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: and I am talking Sol 10, not OpenSol (which I don't use) | Feb 22 22:53 |
oiaohm | Solaris still ships with it own complier as well. FurnaceBoy | Feb 22 22:53 |
FurnaceBoy | SOl 8 was when that started to open up, with a F/OSS Companian | Feb 22 22:54 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: actually, no, it doesn't. | Feb 22 22:54 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: that's in Sun Studio - separate download | Feb 22 22:54 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: but gcc is bundled | Feb 22 22:54 |
FurnaceBoy | has been for half a decade :) | Feb 22 22:54 |
FurnaceBoy | Companion* | Feb 22 22:54 |
oiaohm | So they got saner in the last 4. | Feb 22 22:56 |
FurnaceBoy | yeah | Feb 22 22:56 |
FurnaceBoy | but like i say, Solaris 8 started to crack in terms of encouraging F/OSS 3rd party | Feb 22 22:56 |
oiaohm | Still running there own shell or are they accross to bash. | Feb 22 22:56 |
FurnaceBoy | which was just acknowledging common practice (SFW and Blastwave) | Feb 22 22:56 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: they default to Bourne, but bash is bundled, /bin/bash | Feb 22 22:56 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: root shell can bash | Feb 22 22:57 |
FurnaceBoy | be^ | Feb 22 22:57 |
oiaohm | So still defaulting to old unix Bourne | Feb 22 22:59 |
FurnaceBoy | yes, for reasonably obvious reasons :) | Feb 22 22:59 |
FurnaceBoy | given what we know of their customer base and conservative change management | Feb 22 22:59 |
FurnaceBoy | if you want cutting edge you go OpenSol | Feb 22 23:00 |
FurnaceBoy | even zfs in Sol 10 is a few releases behind in Sol 10 | Feb 22 23:00 |
FurnaceBoy | oups | Feb 22 23:00 |
FurnaceBoy | s/in Sol 10$/OpenSol/ | Feb 22 23:00 |
MinceR | "if i want cutting edge, i'll buy a sword. if i want bleeding edge, i'll use it." | Feb 22 23:00 |
oiaohm | The conservative change management is why it will take ages to undo all the internal development history. | Feb 22 23:00 |
FurnaceBoy | oiaohm: yeah it's a burden, but like you say, OpenSol will cherry pick from it | Feb 22 23:01 |
FurnaceBoy | maturity counts for something in core infra | Feb 22 23:01 |
oiaohm | I wish it did more. | Feb 22 23:02 |
*gargoyle-grin has quit (Quit: Leaving.) | Feb 22 23:02 | |
oiaohm | If it did windows would not be in as many critical roles. | Feb 22 23:02 |
oiaohm | Windows has never been mature. | Feb 22 23:02 |
FurnaceBoy | windows in critical role can only be explained by ignorance, undue influence, and/or inertia | Feb 22 23:03 |
FurnaceBoy | it cannot happen with a realistic survey of what humankind has created ;-) | Feb 22 23:03 |
FurnaceBoy | it's good for playing solitaire | Feb 22 23:04 |

oiaohm | Means the church is not a tax collector. | Feb 22 23:13 |
oiaohm | Mind you the flat tax rate of old of 10 percent was not too bad. | Feb 22 23:13 |

FurnaceBoy | honestly I thank the French | Feb 22 23:14 |

DaemonFC | 7digital! Of course! | Feb 22 23:21 |
DaemonFC | So Americans can pay 30% more than Amazon | Feb 22 23:22 |
DaemonFC | yay!!!! | Feb 22 23:22 |
DaemonFC | this is craptacular, in fact, it might be the most craptacular thing Ubuntu has ever done | Feb 22 23:22 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: Well the Amazon Music Store apparantly only works in USA or Canada, or something like that | Feb 22 23:22 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: well whatever they use so what, I am not buying stuff from it | Feb 22 23:23 |
DaemonFC | doesn't mean I want to get an album that's $7.99 on Amazon for $11.99 on tdigital | Feb 22 23:23 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: If I am going to buy music I would much rather buy pshyical albums | Feb 22 23:23 |
DaemonFC | Well, this is going into a blogging | Feb 22 23:24 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: maybe a bit bad, since loads of Ubuntu users are from USA | Feb 22 23:24 |
DaemonFC | yeah, it's a joke | Feb 22 23:24 |
DaemonFC | and some of the shit on 7digital is only in AAC or WMA | Feb 22 23:24 |
DaemonFC | Now what? | Feb 22 23:24 |
DaemonFC | is Ubuntu encouraging you to buy that too? | Feb 22 23:24 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: yep 10.04 sucks really | Feb 22 23:24 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: or so it seems, from what I know about it | Feb 22 23:25 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: alpha 3 will be interesting | Feb 22 23:25 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: I am not expecting to be impressed, and I probably won't be | Feb 22 23:25 |
sebsebseb | well this Thursday | Feb 22 23:25 |
DaemonFC | they're doing all kinds of stupid shit | Feb 22 23:25 |
sebsebseb | altough if I vm'd a daily build it would probably be similar to alpha 3 | Feb 22 23:26 |
oiaohm | sebsebseb: take a stable kernel back port whole stack of proto bits in it. How can you say keep up with jones at the price of your own users. | Feb 22 23:26 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: uh I don't understand | Feb 22 23:26 |
oiaohm | Upcomming Ubuntu. | Feb 22 23:27 |
oiaohm | They have the 2.6.32 that is going to be the year and a bit maintained kernel. Ok that should have been dependanble. | Feb 22 23:27 |
oiaohm | But then they have gone and pulled DRM from 2.6.33 back into along with other bits. | Feb 22 23:27 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: yes they might have to support a year on there own, or whatever someone told me before here on IRC | Feb 22 23:27 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: DRM in Linux kernel? Digital Rights Management? | Feb 22 23:28 |
oiaohm | Direct Rendering Management. | Feb 22 23:28 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: anyway if you look at popey's comment | Feb 22 23:28 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: it seems so fake to me | Feb 22 23:28 |
oiaohm | What X11 server uses. sebsebseb | Feb 22 23:28 |
DaemonFC | ask jono_, he'll tell you why 30-40% more expensive for Americans is a "feature" | Feb 22 23:28 |
DaemonFC | :D | Feb 22 23:28 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: I guess like jono_ both of them have to pretend Ubuntu is so great, since they are community members, oh and in that case of jono_ he works for Canonical | Feb 22 23:29 |
sebsebseb | _Goblin: you here? don't miss the above stuff :) | Feb 22 23:29 |
oiaohm | Really the best thing would have been. Release 2.6.32 as unchanged as able. | Feb 22 23:29 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: maybe they could have made two deals? that one and amazon? or at least had amazon available for the Americans problem solved? | Feb 22 23:29 |
oiaohm | And 2.6.33 for people wanting the newer direct rendering management. | Feb 22 23:30 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: I don't know what that is | Feb 22 23:30 |
oiaohm | Thinkign work on direct rendering management most likely will only complete 2.6.34 or 2.6.35 | Feb 22 23:30 |
DaemonFC | they aren't building 2.6.33 kernels for F12 yet | Feb 22 23:30 |
