Chips_B_Malroy | Elliott Associates, L P is a "private" company, meaning I cannot find out who deposits money there | Mar 04 00:23 |
DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy, I think that's the point | Mar 04 00:23 |

DaemonFC | drive by Ballmer bidding by proxy | Mar 04 00:27 |

Chips_B_Malroy | what is funny, is tht hedge funds have been shrinking the last couple of years, and only Elliot and a very few others grew, Elliot grew by quite a bit actually | Mar 04 00:29 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Elliot is actually two funds, one is international | Mar 04 00:30 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz, You figure this is a good setup though? Pointing out the mayor is drawing a salary while he asks firefighters to work free and fires cops? | Mar 04 02:52 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[qu1j0t3] >@shoq you're so cute when you're outraged #hcr | Mar 04 02:52 | |

DaemonFC | if there's no money to pay emergency workers, there's no money to pay him | Mar 04 02:53 |

DaemonFC | "What about the Mayor? Why can't HE take a paycut? How much does he make? Why was he hiring his wife as "Executive Assistant" like this is frapping Chicago or something and he needed a secretary paid out of the town's treasury?" | Mar 04 02:55 |
DaemonFC | hehe | Mar 04 02:55 |

sebsebseb | maybe you missed this, but | Mar 04 04:08 |
DaemonFC | yeah, I know you can change the theme | Mar 04 04:08 |
sebsebseb | I basically put before that the default background seems OS X like | Mar 04 04:08 |
DaemonFC | there needs to be a right handed version of the new Ubuntu theme | Mar 04 04:08 |
sebsebseb | I think I seen something like it, when I looked at screenshots of Leopard or videos of Leopard | Mar 04 04:08 |
DaemonFC | and it should be default | Mar 04 04:08 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: The good thing is that a lot of this recent stupidity from GNOME or Ubuntu/Canonical we can change ourself and put right. | Mar 04 04:09 |
sebsebseb | GNOME and Ububuntu/GNOME no or | Mar 04 04:09 |
DaemonFC | more of it's coming from Canonical | Mar 04 04:10 |
sebsebseb | both of them have done things recently that have annoyed me | Mar 04 04:10 |
DaemonFC | Ubuntu actually had a meeting where they accused Nautilus of having too many useful things | Mar 04 04:10 |
DaemonFC | and mused on how to gut these useful things | Mar 04 04:10 |
DaemonFC | so that idiots wouldn't be confused | Mar 04 04:11 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: read that blog entry I linked to | Mar 04 04:11 |
sebsebseb | it mentions a program or whatever | Mar 04 04:11 |
sebsebseb | that | Mar 04 04:11 |
sebsebseb | does what your saying | Mar 04 04:11 |
DaemonFC | yeah | Mar 04 04:11 |
DaemonFC | see it | Mar 04 04:11 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: so now Ubuntu are trying to compete against OS X hrm | Mar 04 04:11 |
sebsebseb | and Apple | Mar 04 04:11 |
sebsebseb | this theme stuff, but also the music store | Mar 04 04:12 |
sebsebseb | OS X is from Apple, you know what I mean though, now they are trying to compete a bit more against Apple it seems | Mar 04 04:12 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: when Gnome 3 becomes default, well that will get rid of a lot of these Canonical GNOME changes I geuss | Mar 04 04:13 |
sebsebseb | guess | Mar 04 04:13 |
DaemonFC | not if they don't use Gnome Shell | Mar 04 04:13 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: I thought that Gnome Shell thing is basically Gnome 3 | Mar 04 04:14 |
sebsebseb | or that Gnome Shell is Gnome 3 | Mar 04 04:14 |
DaemonFC | kind of | Mar 04 04:14 |
DaemonFC | it's optional | Mar 04 04:14 |
sebsebseb | hrm meaning what exactly? | Mar 04 04:14 |
sebsebseb | they can have a Gnome 2 GUI on top of Gnome 3? | Mar 04 04:14 |
DaemonFC | and Canonical is patching gnome shell too | Mar 04 04:14 |
DaemonFC | yeah | Mar 04 04:14 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: and they basically have thier own kernel for 10.04 as well, according to oiahom | Mar 04 04:15 |
sebsebseb | since they done quite a lot of editing | Mar 04 04:15 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: well at least all this, Ubuntu is getting better in certain ways, and worse in other ways stuff, gives us something to chat about on IRC | Mar 04 04:16 |

schestowitz | Chips_B_Malroy: MinceR is Singer's cousin | Mar 04 18:57 |
Chips_B_Malroy | If Singer acquires Novell for 1.8 billion, the causal bid, and Novell has 991 million is cash, Singer is only paying 809 million actually | Mar 04 18:57 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Singer has lowballed the bid, in hope another company will come in and bid more, so that drives up the price of the 8.5% that Elliot already has, profit, short term, mission accomplished. | Mar 04 18:59 |
Chips_B_Malroy | But if that dosen't happen, and Novell will surely reject the bid, wait for some minor setback in the SCO case, or the next quarterly results from Novell, something bad, and then, true to form, Elliot will reoffer at a lower bid. | Mar 04 19:01 |

MinceR | schestowitz: mac asay did answer a few KDE-related questions | Mar 04 19:04 |
schestowitz | It's hard to put the moneky head on KDE | Mar 04 19:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | what Singer will do to Novell, should it buy it. He will get rid of almost all top management, and most of middle management. Stop all R&R mostly. Stop and or sell any parts of the company not profitable. | Mar 04 19:04 |
MinceR | mono shouldn't be an objective | Mar 04 19:04 |
MinceR | especially on the DE where nobody's pushing it in the first place | Mar 04 19:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | and transferr the 991 million to Elliot first | Mar 04 19:04 |
schestowitz | Elliot does not exist | Mar 04 19:05 |
schestowitz | It seems like a made up name | Mar 04 19:05 |
schestowitz | Let's call it what it is | Mar 04 19:05 |
schestowitz | Singer | Mar 04 19:05 |
Chips_B_Malroy | yes, Singer founded it, Singer manages (runs) it | Mar 04 19:05 |
schestowitz | I'll set up a company called "Bob" :-) | Mar 04 19:05 |
Chips_B_Malroy | and most likely only Singer knows who funds it | Mar 04 19:06 |
schestowitz | BOB = big old bastard | Mar 04 19:06 |
schestowitz | Chips_B_Malroy: yeah | Mar 04 19:06 |
schestowitz | I chatted about it with some friends at the gym | Mar 04 19:06 |
schestowitz | It seems like a typical shell game | Mar 04 19:06 |
schestowitz | Should be illegal, but it's not | Mar 04 19:06 |
Chips_B_Malroy | But I could be wrong, what assets does Novell have that we have not looked at? | Mar 04 19:07 |
schestowitz | People who know the law exploit it | Mar 04 19:07 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Lets see, Suse, Netware/Groupware, the possibity of the Unix rights, oh, and the lawsuit with MS over Wordperfect. | Mar 04 19:08 |

Chips_B_Malroy | The Wordperfect lawsuit could be worth a lot | Mar 04 19:09 |
Chips_B_Malroy | might be cheaper for MS to buy Novell than to lose in court on that one | Mar 04 19:10 |
Chips_B_Malroy | 809 million to buy, as opposed to what the court might decide on the Wordperfect trial | Mar 04 19:11 |
Chips_B_Malroy | MS or one of its minions, surely has to be interested in Novell | Mar 04 19:11 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Suse was great in its day, but GNU/Linux will continue without it, if need be | Mar 04 19:13 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I don't see IBM really wanting to buy Novell. Red Hat, or a merger with Red Hat, yes, I could see IBM doing that. | Mar 04 19:17 |
MinceR | i'm not aware of any day in which suse was great :> | Mar 04 19:17 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Neither do I see Google or Apple wanting Novell | Mar 04 19:17 |
Chips_B_Malroy | HP is a possiblity | Mar 04 19:17 |
Chips_B_Malroy | or Lenveno | Mar 04 19:18 |
Chips_B_Malroy | MinceR> before Novell took over Suse, they were good | Mar 04 19:18 |
MinceR | what would lenovo do with novell? | Mar 04 19:18 |
MinceR | Chips_B_Malroy: here they had a bad reputation even before that | Mar 04 19:19 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Suse, is all I could see that Lenveno would be interested in | Mar 04 19:19 |
MinceR | i thought they hated gnu/linux with a passion | Mar 04 19:20 |
MinceR | FUDding it furiously | Mar 04 19:20 |
Chips_B_Malroy | OEM's in general might be interested in server Suse. The problem is they would fear retaliation from MS if they bought Novell/Suse | Mar 04 19:20 |
Chips_B_Malroy | But HP might be big enough not to | Mar 04 19:21 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I believe that Lenveno was one of the OEM's that sold Suse on corporate computers in bulk preinstalled, just not for the public. | Mar 04 19:22 |
Chips_B_Malroy | but that may have changed, since lenveno was infested with former MS managers | Mar 04 19:23 |

Chips_B_Malroy | This is true, but | Mar 04 19:31 |
Chips_B_Malroy | as MS continues to bleed destop share slowly, the OEM's might be thinking, that it would be nice to have their own distro, if the community did almost all the work. | Mar 04 19:32 |

Gates has none, and probably got none during his growing up years. Unlikely he got any moral code much from Gates Senior either. What he did learn from his father is how to win in court, or how to work the system. | Mar 04 20:47 |

Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> there was two modes to mount that sansa, did linux ever do MSC? | Mar 04 22:21 |

DaemonFC | Ubuntu is busted | Mar 04 22:22 |
Chips_B_Malroy | from what I red back then, if you put files with | Mar 04 22:22 |
Chips_B_Malroy | X | Mar 04 22:22 |
DaemonFC | "Setting the device to MTP works, but then it becomes a dumb 18.6 GB blob where I can't drag and drop or browse it and I have no control as to where files go. Yay Microsoft! Bonus: I can't see anything I added in MSC mode." | Mar 04 22:22 |
DaemonFC | :P | Mar 04 22:23 |
DaemonFC | I don't want to use MTP mode | Mar 04 22:23 |
DaemonFC | I like MSC mode better | Mar 04 22:24 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Think I tryed it with Mepis 7 back awhile, and it could see the drive, but not the files put on with XP SP@ | Mar 04 22:24 |
Chips_B_Malroy | *2 | Mar 04 22:24 |
DaemonFC | The device is exposing the storage as a normal FAT32 file system on a flash memory device | Mar 04 22:25 |
DaemonFC | Linux has supported that for ages | Mar 04 22:25 |
DaemonFC | I might boot up my old XP laptop and see if I can format the internal storage from there | Mar 04 22:25 |
schestowitz | MinceR: it seems like DNS might be the cause | Mar 04 22:25 |
schestowitz | I can't see where to change it though | Mar 04 22:25 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> maybe I don't have the same model you do, was thinking this one only has 4gb of space | Mar 04 22:26 |

Chips_B_Malroy | anyway, its lost somewhere right now, and cannot find it right away | Mar 04 22:27 |
DaemonFC | it's not the player | Mar 04 22:27 |
DaemonFC | it's some kind of bug in Ubuntu | Mar 04 22:27 |
schestowitz | Split view is nice | Mar 04 22:27 |
DaemonFC | they always fuck around and add bugs that NOBODY can explain, even themselves | Mar 04 22:27 |
DaemonFC | it's ridiculous | Mar 04 22:28 |
Chips_B_Malroy | DaemonFC> what I was wondering, is if its an Ubuntu bug, or upstream Debian, as Mepis is based on Debian | Mar 04 22:28 |
DaemonFC | I just formatted it on XP | Mar 04 22:29 |

Chips_B_Malroy | use ogg or mp3 | Mar 04 22:34 |
DaemonFC | irrelevant | Mar 04 22:34 |
schestowitz | Maybe Mozilla handles DNS separately from KDE? | Mar 04 22:34 |
DaemonFC | Ogg and MP3 can be transferred over MTP | Mar 04 22:34 |
DaemonFC | MTP is just a transfer protocol | Mar 04 22:34 |
DaemonFC | it's kind of like WinFS for mp3 players | Mar 04 22:34 |
schestowitz | DNS caching might explain such a behaviour | Mar 04 22:34 |
DaemonFC | it's horrible and complicated and slow | Mar 04 22:35 |

DaemonFC | I replied to my own bug and left the results of my investigation | Mar 04 22:48 |
DaemonFC | which turn up more questions | Mar 04 22:49 |
Chips_B_Malroy | so I tryed to repartition with the same xp disk, which it did and format to ntfs, also new fdisk /mbr. But XP failed during the install | Mar 04 22:49 |
DaemonFC | I wonder if I could get someone from Sandisk to look at that | Mar 04 22:50 |
DaemonFC | probably not | Mar 04 22:50 |
Chips_B_Malroy | claiming that is was not a real ms partition | Mar 04 22:50 |
Chips_B_Malroy | The fix was to get another XP disk, and partition and format it with gparted | Mar 04 22:50 |
DaemonFC | well, the partition identifier used is the same, the file system format is basically the same | Mar 04 22:50 |
Chips_B_Malroy | never came back with teh same problem after that | Mar 04 22:51 |
DaemonFC | Linux won't write both long and short file names cause of the TomTom suit | Mar 04 22:51 |

DaemonFC | that's got nothing to do with a newly formatted blank file system | Mar 04 22:52 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I wondered if some bug in the early XP disk in fdisk or format that MS might have fixed later without telling. 98SE had bugs in format.exe that they later replaced | Mar 04 22:52 |

MinceR | and it was drawn that way | Mar 04 23:25 |

schestowitz | Yahoo, Amazon, WMA... and all that malarkey... | Mar 04 23:38 |
sebsebseb | rather have the light one | Mar 04 23:38 |
schestowitz | Mint looks OK | Mar 04 23:38 |
schestowitz | No Yahoosoft | Mar 04 23:38 |
schestowitz | No ugly theme | Mar 04 23:38 |
schestowitz | Mono virus passed through though,... it's venereal | Mar 04 23:38 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: yeah Mint is better than this rubbish really | Mar 04 23:38 |
sebsebseb | themewise | Mar 04 23:38 |
DaemonFC | the dark theme doesn't look bad | Mar 04 23:38 |
Chips_B_Malroy | So, if someone buys Novell, not necessaryly Singer, something might leak out about the 2006 NDA with MS | Mar 04 23:39 |
sebsebseb | altough I wasn't that keen on Mint themewise | Mar 04 23:39 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: something about dark | Mar 04 23:39 |
sebsebseb | dark themes :( | Mar 04 23:39 |
DaemonFC | I like dark themes | Mar 04 23:39 |

sebsebseb | oh sure the theme can be changed | Mar 04 23:39 |
DaemonFC | I don't know | Mar 04 23:39 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: what's even worse than the themes | Mar 04 23:39 |
sebsebseb | is of course that background | Mar 04 23:39 |
sebsebseb | 8.10 was the last release that had a good background | Mar 04 23:40 |
sebsebseb | and that one really did have a nice background | Mar 04 23:40 |
DaemonFC | the wallpaper is always the first thing changed anyway | Mar 04 23:40 |

schestowitz | [23:39] <Chips_B_Malroy> So, if someone buys Novell, not necessaryly Singer, something might leak out about the 2006 NDA with MS | Mar 04 23:40 |
sebsebseb | DaemonFC: that most people change the background one of the first things they do | Mar 04 23:40 |
schestowitz | Maybe it'll say Ballmer and Mini Ballmer (Hovsepian) are wingers | Mar 04 23:41 |
schestowitz | I meant swingers :-) | Mar 04 23:41 |
sebsebseb | I wonder if I re boot and it boots up again, if I get the new boot up screen | Mar 04 23:41 |
