schestowitz | Microsoft and its shillers taking over another university.... maybe... | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | QUOTE: | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | Here's a funny. I was in a meeting today and some Windows guys were discussing Sharepoint. The boss asks "what are the disadvantages of Sharepoint?" One guy immediately says "It's not open source." but then goes on to say "You can use templates anywhere ..." as if that makes up for it not being open source. Another of them said that "It's Microsoft-only." | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | with all that implies in terms of not playing nice with others. Considering the source, that one was a good answer, but I almost laughed out loud at the first one. If I ever leave this place, I wonder if I'll ever find comedy as good as this. :) | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | At random, another story I heard today: | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | Microsoft Exchange Is MIT’s New Email System | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | http://tech.mit.edu/V129/N29/webmail.html | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | I don't know whether it's more surprising that a renowned technical school like MIT would go to Exchange as their mail system in the first place or that it took them so long to say "Me too" to go with all the other Ivy League schools that have already moved to Exchange. Truthfully, this is a disheartening trend. | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | We haven't yet moved to Exchange as "the e-mail system", but we already have occasional problems with mysteriously disappearing e-mail, odd IMAP server behaviour, incoming mail that may bounce unpredictably and lack of an audit trail for troubleshooting. The most disheartening things are the loss of commitment to open standards and the consequent discrimination in favour of proprietary software. | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | >> Many move the other way (away from Microsoft), esp. outside the US. | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | > Yes, indeed. I could have asked a third question of the MIT move to Exchange: why make this move now when it's clear that Microsoft is losing momentum and many are moving to open source solutions instead? | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | MIT is not RMS and colleagues. It has MS moles like all academic institutions. I have a friend, an admin/prof from U of Michigan, he was in the same situation. | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | > This was also the context of the discussion on Sharepoint. We already have some open standards, non-Microsoft solutions in place for problems spaces such as Wiki, file sharing, personal Web pages and ticketing. Now, because there are a few projects which require Sharepoint, the boss is considering scrapping all of these other systems and moving to the Microsoft system (i.e. the one ring to bind them.) | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | I suppose he thinks he would be saving money that way. In that case, it's even funnier that he didn't ask the usual questions about TCO first. | Aug 03 23:13 |
schestowitz | Bring up Alfresco. | Aug 03 23:14 |
schestowitz | > The truth of the matter is that our CIO just quit and the future is uncertain. It's an open question about whether he got pushed out, but his superiors clearly did prefer Exchange for e-mail. The former CIO generally did not like Microsoft and tried to keep them at an arms length away even though of course the vast majority of people use Windows as the client operating system. | Aug 03 23:14 |
schestowitz | We have Exchange, but the former CIO was pressured into implementing it. I certainly hope that the new CIO, who is so far unknown, doesn't bring a "prefer Microsoft" or an "aggressively promote Microsoft" philosophy with her. My boss is probably trying to prepare himself for that eventuality. If so, then my responce will be to quit. | Aug 03 23:14 |
schestowitz | The story is _so_ familiar to me (see above). Same happened in my department by the way. | Aug 03 23:14 |

schestowitz | > > marginally better with MS systems. | Aug 04 21:45 |
schestowitz | I did some asking around and found out that this project to deploy a big rollout of Sharepoint has been in the works for a long time. The decision has already been made and the only thing that is preventing it from happening is the current economic climate and commensurate lowered budget allotment for IT. This is the "expensive as hell" point above. Microsoft wants about half a million dollars for a full scale deployment. | Aug 04 21:45 |
schestowitz | > > Here are the systems their dialog should have covered: | Aug 04 21:45 |
schestowitz | Indeed. What's so ironic is that we already have neutral 3rd party vendors for our file sharing and wiki services, we use straight Apache (with perhaps PHP and Tomcat) for personal home pages and most other Web sites and we are deploying Drupal as a portal for this fall. What are they thinking? To replace all of those perfectly good, open standards platforms with something that has many problems of its own just because a | Aug 04 21:45 |
schestowitz | few projects need it and it has that "magical" shiny Microsoft label? | Aug 04 21:45 |
schestowitz | I think it may be time for me to be looking for other employment. I believe the slippery slope to this madness began when we agreed to entertain Exchange and then the decision was made to switch everyone to it. These decisions were imposed on us from above, which is how Microsoft typically infests enterprises. | Aug 04 21:46 |
schestowitz | This is yet another sign that higher education in the US is becoming more corporate (including an "intellectual property office" which licences patents from University-sponsored research.) It's not what I had in mind when I decided to work in this sector. | Aug 04 21:46 |
schestowitz | ==== | Aug 04 21:46 |
schestowitz | me: it was the same when some idiot from management decided to try Windows on clusters (HPC), which was a total fail BTW. The guy who ran it at the time quit angrily. | Aug 04 21:46 |
schestowitz | I guess universities need to sack people just to pay Microsoft for utter rubbish | Aug 04 21:47 |

schestowitz | <anon> In watching his speeches, I realized that RMS does have his quirks which can do more harm than good. | Aug 06 17:38 |

schestowitz | <anon> I disagree with that tactic. | Aug 06 17:38 |

schestowitz | <anon> :) | Aug 06 17:38 |
schestowitz | <schestowitz> Yes | Aug 06 17:38 |
schestowitz | <anon> It wouldn't be a "fork" of FSF per se. | Aug 06 17:38 |
schestowitz | <schestowitz> He's rude | Aug 06 17:38 |
schestowitz | <anon> It's focus would involve assisting projects that would lead people closer to freedom. | Aug 06 17:38 |
schestowitz | <anon> For example, the effort to reverse engineer nvidia graphics. | Aug 06 17:38 |
schestowitz | <anon> The best way to assist such an effort is with funding and hardware. | Aug 06 17:38 |
schestowitz | <anon> He dismisses questions he views as silly. | Aug 06 17:38 |
schestowitz | <anon> Which violates the hacker ethic if memory serves correct. | Aug 06 17:38 |

trmanco | every picture that has a women now is sexist? | Aug 10 23:33 |
schestowitz | No, that's the pont | Aug 10 23:33 |
schestowitz | Earth has more women than men | Aug 10 23:34 |
schestowitz | But some girls are too sensitive | Aug 10 23:34 |

schestowitz | Not a tech guy | Aug 10 23:48 |
tacone | yes I know. | Aug 10 23:48 |
trmanco | wtf is a dildo? | Aug 10 23:48 |
tacone | his problem is he believes to be smarter than the rest | Aug 10 23:49 |
tacone | a dildo is a fake (plastic) dick | Aug 10 23:49 |
*trmanco think it might be a bad word | Aug 10 23:49 | |
trmanco | ah | Aug 10 23:49 |

tacone | mostly used by porn stars | Aug 10 23:49 |
trmanco | vibrator I guess | Aug 10 23:49 |
trmanco | that what we call them in portugal | Aug 10 23:49 |
schestowitz | Not just pr0n starts | Aug 10 23:49 |
schestowitz | *stars | Aug 10 23:49 |
trmanco | that's | Aug 10 23:49 |
schestowitz | years ago when I was a student some of my housemates had some.The girls weren't shy to talk about it | Aug 10 23:50 |
tacone | of course. it's something sold in sex shops. nothing intrinsically bad | Aug 10 23:50 |
trmanco | loool | Aug 10 23:50 |
tacone | dildo is a vibrator without the vibration. | Aug 10 23:50 |
schestowitz | In Japan they are all sorts of sex toys for men | Aug 10 23:50 |
schestowitz | Less so in the West, AFAIK | Aug 10 23:50 |
trmanco | ah | Aug 10 23:50 |
schestowitz | *LOL* | Aug 10 23:51 |
tacone | it's just a plastic thing shaped like a .. you know what. | Aug 10 23:51 |
trmanco | yes | Aug 10 23:51 |
schestowitz | Maybe the crashes Ubuntu server tan the shop | Aug 10 23:51 |

tacone | imagine one of those in the ubuntu store | Aug 10 23:51 |
tacone | that would be fun | Aug 10 23:51 |
tacone | we can arrange it to look like the logo in some way :) | Aug 10 23:52 |
schestowitz | Hehe | Aug 10 23:52 |
schestowitz | You could turn the Ubuntu logo into something else | Aug 10 23:52 |
trmanco | LOL | Aug 10 23:52 |
schestowitz | http://alexandrubucur.com/files/ubuntubd2.jpg | Aug 10 23:53 |
schestowitz | Where's that Canonical photo of the two lads | Aug 10 23:53 |
schestowitz | Where they sort of hug and say "I love Ubuntu"...? | Aug 10 23:53 |
schestowitz | That was in Digg's FP. It was very gay | Aug 10 23:53 |
tacone | i wonder how much those pics are endorsed by canonical :) | Aug 10 23:54 |
trmanco | http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N-OacfIut-Y/Rvy87nXIqtI/AAAAAAAAAMw/Q8pZD8z8xq4/s400/ubuntu_5.11.jpg | Aug 10 23:54 |
trmanco | lol | Aug 10 23:54 |
tacone | real men don't photoshop an ubuntu logo on their girlfriend's pic | Aug 10 23:57 |
tacone | beside that, that pic seems taken for ubuntu | Aug 10 23:57 |
tacone | just as much as the butts one. | Aug 10 23:58 |
tacone | i wonder if that was orchestrated some way | Aug 10 23:58 |
schestowitz | THey were promises glory | Aug 10 23:59 |
schestowitz | "it's for h0rny g33ks" | Aug 10 23:59 |
schestowitz | *promised | Aug 10 23:59 |
tacone | i love ubuntu | Aug 11 00:00 |
tacone | but i don't like that much canonical new entries | Aug 11 00:00 |
schestowitz | People or products? | Aug 11 00:00 |
schestowitz | Mono, UbuntuOne, Rick... | Aug 11 00:01 |
tacone | rick :) | Aug 11 00:01 |
tacone | lol | Aug 11 00:01 |
schestowitz | prick | Aug 11 00:01 |
tacone | but i'm still waiting to see results from rick and matthews and so on | Aug 11 00:01 |
tacone | the past was easy. package and make seamless | Aug 11 00:01 |
tacone | now they're adding personality to the whole. let's see if they pick the right choices | Aug 11 00:02 |
tacone | like this guy http://mpt.net.nz/ | Aug 11 00:02 |
tacone | i disagree with him so often. | Aug 11 00:02 |
schestowitz | Mono has quieted down, which is good in a way. Less exposure to them. | Aug 11 00:03 |
tacone | yup, but jo keep posting | Aug 11 00:03 |
tacone | i'm waiting to see if he keeps to | Aug 11 00:03 |
tacone | his blog is all about mono. | Aug 11 00:03 |
tacone | it's made just for that. | Aug 11 00:03 |
schestowitz | Minimalist blog | Aug 11 00:03 |
tacone | bad faith blog. | Aug 11 00:04 |
schestowitz | Monkeys=Mono | Aug 11 00:04 |
schestowitz | Oxford=Microsoft | Aug 11 00:04 |
tacone | i'm waiting september to post again about mono. | Aug 11 00:04 |
schestowitz | Esp. to those in Britian who know | Aug 11 00:04 |
schestowitz | Cambridge less so | Aug 11 00:04 |
schestowitz | I was almost doing my PhD in Camb | Aug 11 00:04 |
tacone | microsoft CP was a sign | Aug 11 00:04 |
schestowitz | Bad sign | Aug 11 00:04 |
schestowitz | Wakeup call | Aug 11 00:04 |
tacone | they need to adjust to community needs | Aug 11 00:04 |
tacone | the first thing is the lie | Aug 11 00:05 |
schestowitz | Microsoft: "drink the poison, just not all parts of it' | Aug 11 00:05 |
tacone | the second may be a real adjustment. | Aug 11 00:05 |
schestowitz | Microsoft never keeps promises | Aug 11 00:05 |
schestowitz | Lots of examples | Aug 11 00:05 |
schestowitz | TomTOom FAT | Aug 11 00:05 |
schestowitz | PlaysforSure (NotSoSure) | Aug 11 00:05 |
tacone | they're just seeing if the cp is enough | Aug 11 00:05 |
schestowitz | Recently the domain thing for small businesses | Aug 11 00:05 |
schestowitz | They promises it would be free, promise voided last week | Aug 11 00:05 |
tacone | they'd never did the promise if it was not needed | Aug 11 00:05 |
schestowitz | CP = not legal contrac | Aug 11 00:06 |
tacone | the promise weakens them. at least a bit | Aug 11 00:06 |
schestowitz | Word of mouth, verbal agreement of trust | Aug 11 00:06 |
schestowitz | Miceosoft asked me about it, sort of | Aug 11 00:06 |
schestowitz | I ignored | Aug 11 00:06 |
schestowitz | They wanted to see if it's the FSF's position | Aug 11 00:06 |
tacone | cp is legally binding | Aug 11 00:06 |
schestowitz | They test the FSF and use is vs them | Aug 11 00:06 |
tacone | the problem is that can be changes anytime and covers almost noghing. | Aug 11 00:07 |
tacone | my point is: they did because they had to | Aug 11 00:07 |
schestowitz | SOmeone told me it's not binding | Aug 11 00:07 |
schestowitz | FFII told me | Aug 11 00:07 |
tacone | that means they have some problem to solve | Aug 11 00:07 |
tacone | it's binding, because it says so | Aug 11 00:07 |
schestowitz | http://gamemank.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/impressions-of-csharp/ | Aug 11 00:07 |
schestowitz | http://makomk.livejournal.com/108443.html?view=57243 | Aug 11 00:07 |
tacone | they say it's not binding, because of some trick in it | Aug 11 00:07 |
tacone | my point is they were forced to do that. | Aug 11 00:08 |
tacone | they'll be forced to do more if the challenge persist | Aug 11 00:08 |
tacone | their problem is: | Aug 11 00:09 |
tacone | mono is pretty cool, but nobody uses it | Aug 11 00:09 |
tacone | their vibrant community is just 30 person working on banshee. plus someone on gnome do | Aug 11 00:10 |
tacone | f-spot development is freezed, more or less. | Aug 11 00:10 |
tacone | they need adoption, so they foster this insanity hoping to publicize mono | Aug 11 00:11 |
tacone | "why I like mono". "if mono critics don't want mono then pull out a good alternative" | Aug 11 00:11 |
tacone | alternative to a platform that has no more than 20 working apps ? | Aug 11 00:11 |
schestowitz | wait... | Aug 11 00:12 |
schestowitz | I want to show you s/t | Aug 11 00:12 |
tacone | a cross-platform language that seen no from-windows port yet ? | Aug 11 00:12 |
schestowitz | From mono-nono | Aug 11 00:12 |
schestowitz | This is funny: http://mono-nono.com/2009/07/17/a-mono-success-story/ | Aug 11 00:12 |
tacone | i read that | Aug 11 00:12 |
schestowitz | "Not-mono: Not best-of-breed" | Aug 11 00:12 |
tacone | he forgot to talk about the rest of the apps ? | Aug 11 00:13 |
tacone | which apps ? uhhhh... | Aug 11 00:13 |
schestowitz | "Mono: Extending Redmond’s Reach into Proprietary Platforms on the backs of “Open Source” developers since 2001. Also some Linux apps in there somewhere too." | Aug 11 00:13 |
tacone | get an ubuntu machine and apt-cache rdepends mono-runtime | grep -v mono | Aug 11 00:13 |
tacone | +- 30 entries. strip libraries and examples and they're 20. | Aug 11 00:14 |
tacone | strip worthless stuff and it's less than 10 apps | Aug 11 00:14 |
tacone | oh, the productive mono. | Aug 11 00:14 |
tacone | oh, why you don't allow devs to develop the language they like ? | Aug 11 00:14 |
tacone | bollocks | Aug 11 00:14 |
schestowitz | It's a Novell/Ximian thing | Aug 11 00:15 |
schestowitz | 10 years almost | Aug 11 00:15 |
schestowitz | Novell has poor following | Aug 11 00:15 |
schestowitz | Unlike SUSE (Germany) | Aug 11 00:15 |
schestowitz | Mono=Massachusetts | Aug 11 00:15 |
tacone | someone said ximian is used to this kind of community tactics | Aug 11 00:16 |
schestowitz | ANy URL? | Aug 11 00:16 |
tacone | uhm. difficult | Aug 11 00:17 |
tacone | lemme see | Aug 11 00:17 |

schestowitz | Thanks | Aug 11 00:23 |
trmanco | yeah | Aug 11 00:24 |
trmanco | gnome includes everything in what reaches programming languages (at least it tries) | Aug 11 00:25 |
trmanco | kde remains solely based on c++ based app, right? | Aug 11 00:25 |
trmanco | I read this somewhere, but I'm not sure where | Aug 11 00:25 |
schestowitz | Python increasingly too | Aug 11 00:26 |

trmanco | ah crap | Aug 11 00:26 |
trmanco | python is still slow | Aug 11 00:26 |

MinceR | also, there's the "be truthful and civil" part -- daemonfc definitely keeps violating that | Aug 13 19:16 |

trmanco | local bug | Aug 14 23:36 |
trmanco | what a bummer | Aug 14 23:36 |
trmanco | a so called "attacker" would have to kick the security's ass to get access to the servers | Aug 14 23:37 |
trmanco | why do people make so much fuss about local linux exploits, but no fuss at all with *remote* windows bugs | Aug 14 23:38 |
trmanco | ? | Aug 14 23:38 |
*oiaohm (n=oiaohm@unaffiliated/oiaohm) has joined #boycottnovell-social | Aug 14 23:39 | |
fewa | yep | Aug 14 23:48 |
fewa | they would never report windows local bugs | Aug 14 23:48 |
fewa | windows has never released an OS which is locally secure | Aug 14 23:48 |
fewa | in any way | Aug 14 23:48 |
trmanco | http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001296.html | Aug 14 23:51 |
MinceR | i guess the reason is that a remote exploit in windows is no news | Aug 14 23:55 |
MinceR | while a local exploit in linux is | Aug 14 23:55 |
MinceR | also, people are stupid | Aug 14 23:55 |
trmanco | I'll stick with you last option | Aug 14 23:59 |
trmanco | adding just *some* | Aug 14 23:59 |
oiaohm | Linux flaws are that rare they make the news. | Aug 14 23:59 |
oiaohm | If every single windows flaw was reported the same way there would be no room for any other news. | Aug 15 00:00 |
trmanco | good point | Aug 15 00:01 |
MinceR | i think every single windows flaw _should_ be reported the same way | Aug 15 00:01 |
MinceR | otherwise we get windows fanboys pointing at flaw reports like this | Aug 15 00:01 |
oiaohm | MS also very commonally have 10 year old reported bugs. | Aug 15 00:03 |
oiaohm | Note reported. | Aug 15 00:03 |
oiaohm | This fault in Linux had just sliped threw cracks. | Aug 15 00:03 |
oiaohm | The serous question is how many bugs are out there. | Aug 15 00:05 |

fewa | Amy really hits it: "I mean, isn’t there a very serious issue with the media, as well? People are scared right now. People see big banks being bailed out. People are losing their jobs. There’s no explanation of the healthcare plan on television. It’s all about the polls, up, down, or what would really be something that was a cost—that both dealt with cost and dealt with something where people would be taken care of. Chip Berlet, your | Aug 15 11:33 |
fewa | response to that?" | Aug 15 11:33 |
schestowitz | Good excuse for war | Aug 15 11:34 |

oiaohm | Ok can you guys get to coreboot.org ? Sorry for odd question. | Aug 15 11:48 |
fewa | just go to page 19 of the poll | Aug 15 11:48 |
fewa | oiaohm, no coreboot.org down from here | Aug 15 11:49 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: nope | Aug 15 11:49 |
schestowitz | Microsoft killed it !! | Aug 15 11:50 |

oiaohm | Most of the open source bioses appear to be in the same location | Aug 15 11:56 |
fewa | ? | Aug 15 11:58 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: google cache | Aug 15 12:02 |
oiaohm | 4 of my list of open source bios have basically the same trace route. | Aug 15 12:02 |
oiaohm | google cache normally does not store tar.gz files. | Aug 15 12:02 |
schestowitz | True | Aug 15 12:04 |
fewa | web.archive.org | Aug 15 12:07 |
fewa | i find it much more useful than google cache | Aug 15 12:07 |
fewa | also easier to go to, just prefix with http://web.archive.org/ | Aug 15 12:07 |
fewa | differnt tools however | Aug 15 12:08 |
schestowitz | it's such an important project (archive) | Aug 15 12:20 |
schestowitz | WHat would IArchive archive if it's gone | Aug 15 12:21 |
schestowitz | *archive I Archive | Aug 15 12:21 |
oiaohm | Yep I rock lands in the wrong place would do it too. | Aug 15 12:21 |

schestowitz | It ought to be | Aug 15 12:22 |
schestowitz | What if hosting in general was made more P2P-ish?\ | Aug 15 12:22 |
schestowitz | With encryption of course | Aug 15 12:22 |
schestowitz | You use available CPU | Aug 15 12:22 |
schestowitz | Less pollution | Aug 15 12:22 |
schestowitz | But also less control over content | Aug 15 12:22 |
schestowitz | So you have terror~1, pedo stuff, and Alex Jones on the Charlie Rose show !! :-S | Aug 15 12:23 |
fewa | schestowitz, there is no demand for those things | Aug 15 12:23 |
fewa | all the archive uses is bandwidth and disk space | Aug 15 12:23 |
fewa | nothing else | Aug 15 12:23 |
fewa | all this cloud stuff can be kinda bullshit, as its all centralized in a few computing mega-centers | Aug 15 12:24 |
fewa | Its just a way of making a supercomputer out of a bunch of things that are individually called computers | Aug 15 12:25 |
fewa | and archive isn't even a computer, its just a big fanciful RAID | Aug 15 12:25 |

trmanco | ah geeze | Aug 15 13:59 |
trmanco | they stupid bug is local | Aug 15 13:59 |
trmanco | not remote | Aug 15 13:59 |
trmanco | how can that be dangerous | Aug 15 13:59 |
MinceR | it can be dangerous if you have untrusted local users | Aug 15 14:00 |
trmanco | yeah | Aug 15 14:00 |
trmanco | you can get fired in a datacenter for malicious activity | Aug 15 14:00 |

schestowitz | In the case of Linux, finding the guilty account is so easy | Aug 15 14:04 |
schestowitz | It is, after all, local. Not some crackers from CHina..... | Aug 15 14:04 |

trmanco | lol | Aug 15 14:07 |
MinceR | it can also be dangerous if a remote attacker can gain local non-root access. | Aug 15 14:08 |
trmanco | hey hey l00k, I can open vi and edit files at /home/$USER | Aug 15 14:09 |

MinceR | my via epia home server | Aug 15 22:10 |
MinceR | it's the third crash this year | Aug 15 22:10 |
MinceR | the first crash happened when i plugged in 2 usb hdd-s | Aug 15 22:10 |
MinceR | the second crash happened when i unplugged them | Aug 15 22:10 |
MinceR | and the third one happened just now, with no reason | Aug 15 22:11 |
trmanco | are you sure it's a crash | Aug 15 22:11 |
MinceR | well, it stopped responding to ping and ssh | Aug 15 22:11 |
MinceR | so i hit reset on it | Aug 15 22:11 |
trmanco | maybe the usb's aren't giving enough juice to the usb hds | Aug 15 22:11 |

MinceR | the other one simply doesn't spin up if it doesn't get enough juice | Aug 15 22:12 |

schestowitz | I quit OS News cause of him | Aug 16 21:22 |
trmanco | he really forgot to mention that if something serious goes wrong in windows, the hole os craps itself out and you are left with a giant blue screen with annoying white letters telling you that the system is either going to restart or that you would need to hit the reset button | Aug 16 21:25 |
trmanco | his problem is probably due to crappy drivers | Aug 16 21:27 |
trmanco | "Actually, Windows Vista has learned from X. In Vista, drivers are largely in user space instead in the kernel as in Windows XP, due stability reasons. | Aug 16 21:30 |
trmanco | This is the solution of Xorg since its creation. | Aug 16 21:30 |
trmanco | So, well Microsoft, thank you to imitate X window server after 25 years " | Aug 16 21:30 |

MinceR | there's a good place to start handling overpopulation as any | Aug 18 13:10 |
schestowitz | It won't do | Aug 18 13:13 |
MinceR | with good enough targeting we could even deal with the 'abortion/contraception is teh evil' meme | Aug 18 13:13 |
schestowitz | It's a planning issue | Aug 18 13:13 |

schestowitz | THe rest ignore and daemonise it | Aug 18 13:15 |
schestowitz | In the US, atheists are the most loathed and science is something seen as demeaning and evil | Aug 18 13:15 |
MinceR | then they won't be leaders in science | Aug 18 13:16 |

MinceR | obviously, i'll have to consider jurists as part of my anti-overpopulation plan | Aug 18 22:48 |
schestowitz | Well, try another approach | Aug 18 22:50 |
schestowitz | I advocate contraception | Aug 18 22:50 |
schestowitz | In some place people might use words like "prude" or "gay" to insult those who suggest birth control | Aug 18 22:50 |
schestowitz | I'd rather have just one kid then no future at all on this planet or bad future for my kid and grandchild | Aug 18 22:51 |
schestowitz | *than | Aug 18 22:51 |
MinceR | the two methods can work together | Aug 18 22:51 |
MinceR | and should | Aug 18 22:51 |
schestowitz | It's true that some people can eb sent to settle Mars | Aug 18 22:52 |
schestowitz | It's not inhibitable though. OOPS. | Aug 18 22:52 |
MinceR | i'd rather send them to settle the Sun | Aug 18 22:52 |
schestowitz | The issue is that Earth then loses organic material /sarcasm | Aug 18 22:52 |
MinceR | then again, it's all too expensive | Aug 18 22:52 |
MinceR | it's better to use them in biomass power plants | Aug 18 22:52 |
schestowitz | MinceR: space elevator | Aug 18 22:53 |
MinceR | burn them | Aug 18 22:53 |
schestowitz | No! | Aug 18 22:53 |
schestowitz | Stop it... | Aug 18 22:53 |
schestowitz | You're making us look saddistic | Aug 18 22:53 |
MinceR | this isn't logged | Aug 18 22:53 |
schestowitz | Imprisonment and death penalties may do | Aug 18 22:53 |
schestowitz | IMHO | Aug 18 22:53 |
schestowitz | MinceR: true, but still. | Aug 18 22:53 |
MinceR | besides, they don't have to be conscious while they're burned | Aug 18 22:53 |
MinceR | but it's more fun that way :> | Aug 18 22:53 |
schestowitz | Stop it! | Aug 18 22:53 |
MinceR | really, human evil and stupidity brings out my darker side | Aug 18 22:54 |
schestowitz | Well, some people prefer to be burned after death | Aug 18 22:54 |
schestowitz | But that's waste of biological material | Aug 18 22:54 |
MinceR | that works too | Aug 18 22:54 |
schestowitz | You end up with carbon mostly | Aug 18 22:54 |
MinceR | not really | Aug 18 22:54 |
schestowitz | AFAIK | Aug 18 22:54 |
MinceR | you get to use the body as an energy source if you do it right | Aug 18 22:54 |
MinceR | and you make its decomposition cleaner and faster | Aug 18 22:54 |
schestowitz | I think of it like this: | Aug 18 22:55 |
MinceR | as opposed to leaving the corpse out somewhere to rot | Aug 18 22:55 |
schestowitz | If I die, than as soon as possible I want my organs used to save other people | Aug 18 22:55 |
MinceR | (including inside a coffin underground) | Aug 18 22:55 |
schestowitz | Some people can use the blood too | Aug 18 22:55 |
schestowitz | So tear me apart to help those in need | Aug 18 22:55 |
MinceR | currently i'd prefer my organic material to nourish plants | Aug 18 22:55 |
MinceR | :) | Aug 18 22:55 |
schestowitz | Then I can be used to feed fish or whatever. | Aug 18 22:55 |
schestowitz | I'm no longer a living organism, so hey, what the heck.. | Aug 18 22:55 |
MinceR | and of course to that i prefer simply not dying | Aug 18 22:56 |
schestowitz | Might as well make best use of myself to help others. | Aug 18 22:56 |
schestowitz | Coffins = dead trees | Aug 18 22:56 |
schestowitz | Just because you die doesn't justify killing a tree. | Aug 18 22:56 |
MinceR | i'm arguing against coffins and burial | Aug 18 22:56 |
schestowitz | Tombstone I can understand. It's just carved off some stone | Aug 18 22:56 |
MinceR | also consider the carbon footprint of making that tombstone | Aug 18 22:57 |
schestowitz | I know | Aug 18 22:57 |
schestowitz | I thought about it | Aug 18 22:57 |
schestowitz | And carrying it | Aug 18 22:57 |
schestowitz | The thing is, here in the UK becoming an organ donor is not simple | Aug 18 22:57 |
schestowitz | I tried 6 years ago | Aug 18 22:57 |
MinceR | then there's of course the pointless practice of renting the place where the grave is | Aug 18 22:57 |
schestowitz | Too labourious | Aug 18 22:57 |
MinceR | also, wasting space on cemeteries | Aug 18 22:58 |
schestowitz | If you want to say, "I hereby give my dead body to those needing donation," that's just too much of a hassle | Aug 18 22:58 |
schestowitz | Then you have other factors | Aug 18 22:58 |
MinceR | it's never recovered if sentimental/religious nonsense is maintained | Aug 18 22:58 |
schestowitz | Like stupid people in one's familay or circle of friends believing that we become ghosts and sh*t | Aug 18 22:58 |
schestowitz | So we need 'burial' | Aug 18 22:58 |
schestowitz | Somewhere to talk to a relative's of friend's bones | Aug 18 22:58 |
schestowitz | *or | Aug 18 22:58 |
MinceR | but i think that ballmer could operate a generator for a while before he's tortured to death and then burned for more power :> | Aug 18 22:58 |
schestowitz | MinceR: no, it's good money | Aug 18 22:59 |
schestowitz | Cemeteries are a good venture for some | Aug 18 22:59 |
schestowitz | They make money renting spaces | Aug 18 22:59 |
MinceR | is that justifiable? | Aug 18 22:59 |
schestowitz | Unregulated unfederated business AFAIK | Aug 18 22:59 |
schestowitz | And look how much they charge for tombstones and stuff | Aug 18 22:59 |
schestowitz | Ceremonies too | Aug 18 22:59 |
schestowitz | People need to make savings here just for a funeral | Aug 18 22:59 |
schestowitz | I mean, c'mon | Aug 18 23:00 |
MinceR | and aren't the people who pay for that suckers? | Aug 18 23:00 |
schestowitz | Even dying is expensive | Aug 18 23:00 |
schestowitz | "Sorry, kids, I may leave you no inheritence. All the money shalt go to funeral proceedings" | Aug 18 23:00 |
*MinceR tries to remind compiz about the idea of giving focus to the window that's moused over | Aug 18 23:00 | |

MinceR | we have something a bit like that here, in Absurdistan, people's banana republic of Western Balkan (also known as Hungary) | Aug 18 23:01 |
MinceR | our glorious government decided that they're going to take property tax on expensive buildings | Aug 18 23:01 |
schestowitz | Anyway, shall anyone ask, be sure to remind that Roy allows anything to be done with dead Roy as long as it's not abusive or demeaning :-) | Aug 18 23:01 |
schestowitz | Dead Roy is an object | Aug 18 23:01 |
schestowitz | It's not an organism anymorew | Aug 18 23:01 |
MinceR | and if someone's an old pensioner and he has such a building, they'll let them not pay it, but still encumber the property with it | Aug 18 23:02 |
schestowitz | Except the organism that would consume it | Aug 18 23:02 |
schestowitz | WHo regulates the graveyard business? | Aug 18 23:02 |
MinceR | so the inheritors can inherit a big chunk of debt | Aug 18 23:02 |
schestowitz | I mean, would they hire PR bunnies to promote lavish funerals and ceremonies? | Aug 18 23:02 |
schestowitz | Like, you know, pay for film placements and engage in price-fixing with other gravyards? | Aug 18 23:03 |
MinceR | well, in my social circle religious idiotism, traditional idiotism and social pressure does the promoting | Aug 18 23:03 |
schestowitz | *rave | Aug 18 23:03 |
MinceR | wasting time and labor on ornamenting a place where we store corpses in a horribly wasteful way | Aug 18 23:03 |
schestowitz | That's one way of putting it | Aug 18 23:03 |
MinceR | obviously i'm pressured to help out with this waste of resources | Aug 18 23:04 |
schestowitz | People love to think of eternal life | Aug 18 23:04 |
MinceR | this is not the way they'll get it | Aug 18 23:04 |
schestowitz | Some will -- believe it or not -- fantasise about it | Aug 18 23:04 |
MinceR | also, they don't have ancient egyptian faith so not even their scriptures say their afterlife really depend on this | Aug 18 23:04 |
schestowitz | MinceR: books may help | Aug 18 23:04 |
schestowitz | Something about science | Aug 18 23:05 |
schestowitz | Science, not superstition | Aug 18 23:05 |
MinceR | so i still don't get what the big deal is about | Aug 18 23:05 |
MinceR | yes, science may help us achieve immortality | Aug 18 23:05 |
MinceR | i'd be very careful about who gets it though | Aug 18 23:05 |
schestowitz | MinceR: well, the Egyptians at least did it right | Aug 18 23:05 |
schestowitz | Their anatomy was preserved | Aug 18 23:05 |
schestowitz | People who died in ice too | Aug 18 23:05 |
MinceR | well, they were consistent about it | Aug 18 23:05 |
schestowitz | Even mammoths | Aug 18 23:05 |
MinceR | but it was still a huge waste of resources | Aug 18 23:05 |
schestowitz | Maybe | Aug 18 23:06 |
schestowitz | Not for those who find comfort in the wants rather than the truth | Aug 18 23:06 |
schestowitz | Imposed delusions can be soothing | Aug 18 23:06 |
schestowitz | That's why people get drawn in to cults | Aug 18 23:06 |
MinceR | to sum it up, people join cults because they're idiots :> | Aug 18 23:07 |
schestowitz | load average: 31.78, 17.99, 8.41 | Aug 18 23:43 |
schestowitz | MinceR: some people like to be told what to do | Aug 18 23:43 |
schestowitz | Another tendency is to make heroes and to think they do supreme things | Aug 18 23:44 |
schestowitz | Then you follow their orders | Aug 18 23:44 |
schestowitz | This may not apply to you, so you won't understand | Aug 18 23:44 |

schestowitz | As you previously covered (http://boycottnovell.com/2009/06/19/break-competitors-products/), Microsoft’s decision to deprecate System.Data.OracleClient has left software developers and architects wondering how best to connect .NET applications to Oracle databases.

schestowitz | There are several possible examples to be used, but here is the incident where employees from Microsoft apparently sabotaged OLPC in Thailand. Mind the following meeting Microsoft had with a minister. | Aug 21 00:28 |
schestowitz | About the meeting with Microsoft, he mentioned that he got a request from M.R. Pridiyathorn Devakula, deputy prime minister. [Note: It seems likely that the early meeting with Microsoft was about going to see the operation of British e-government.) Dr.Sitthichai said he will use his own money and contact British government directly instead. | Aug 21 00:28 |
schestowitz | For the OLPC project, he asserted that he does not oppose or intend cancel the project. This project was initiated during Thaksin's government with no financial support plan. Therefore, the government does not have budget to support the project. Kamthorn had a chance to clarify and talk about the project for a little while. The minister said he will bring that up for the next meeting with OLPC working group which Dr.Djit | Aug 21 00:28 |
schestowitz | t Laowattana serves as a board director. | Aug 21 00:28 |
schestowitz | We have covered the OLPC sabotage campaign before and here is a relevant item from Slashdot. | Aug 21 00:28 |
schestowitz | Thailand’s new junta-appointed Education Minister has cancelled Thailand’s participation in the One Laptop Per Child project and scrapped a plan to give a 2B1 laptop to every primary school student | Aug 21 00:28 |
schestowitz | Attempts were made by the local Free software advocates to change the minister’s mind, but after the meeting with Microsoft, this sudden change of heart was hard to replace and supersede with another change of heart (reversal of a reversal). | Aug 21 00:28 |
schestowitz | Eight representatives from Thai Open Source Associations and users/developers of open source software met Dr. Sitthichai, Thai ICT minister, discussing about open source in Thailand and roles of the government. | Aug 21 00:28 |
schestowitz | They handed the open letter (asking for support of open source) with 800 names of supporters on to the minister. He apologized and admitted that he is h | Aug 21 00:28 |

schestowitz | Questions remain. Because that seemed like a done deal at the time, this has similarity to the Microsoft bribery in Nigeria, which is a recent incident. Why are deals being diffused after an agreement? There are usually stories that happen out of sight and far from the media’s scope of coverage. " | Aug 21 00:28 |

schestowitz | Haha. | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | "Hi, Roy, | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | Saw your article that quoted Andy Updegrove about the i4i v. Microsoft | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | case. This is for your personal edification, not for publication. | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | I'm used to Andy shooting off his mouth without doing his homework and | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | blundering seriously as a result. But this one has to take the cake, | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | even worse than when he endorsed the Microsoft Open Specification | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | Promise as good for open source development. | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | <http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20060912140103877>. | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | This time around Andy writes, at | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | <http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20090821090244256>: | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | : | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | "Microsoft can simply continue to sell Office and Word as they are | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | today, defying the court's order, while it goes about pursing its | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | appeals. The damages would continue to pile up, of course (assuming | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | that Microsoft's final appeal ends in failure), but so would the | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | profits in the meantime, without business interruption. This is | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | roughly the approach that Microsoft has sometimes followed in the past | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | (e.g., during its long-running bout with the European Commission), and | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | even when the penalties are substantial, they may still be less than | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | the interim profits made." | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | ""That's certainly the case here. " | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | Quite obviously, Andy has little to no experience in injunction cases | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | in U.S. federal court. Violations of federal court injunctions are | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | punishable as contempt of court, in either civil contempt or criminal | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | contempt proceedings at the judge's discretion. This can include | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | either jail sentences or fines as big as it takes to compel immediate | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | compliance. And Microsoft can't get such fines back even if it wins on | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | the merits of its appeal. The issue would be the judge's *power* to | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | coerce compliance with an existing order, unaffected by whether | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | Microsoft eventually wins the appeal on the patent itself. You don't | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | get to violate court orders just because you think you might undermine | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | the order on appeal. In other words, a judge can be wrong, but he or | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | she must be obeyed until there is an an order from a higher court that | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | stays or overturns the judge's order. | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | Because Andy missed the availability of the contempt of court remedy, | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | he also missed who can be subjected to a contempt order. Who is bound | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | by an injunction? | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | Injunctions apply not only to the party enjoined but also to others. | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | Fed. R. Civ. P. 65 teaches: | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | "The order binds only the following who receive actual notice of it by | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | personal service or otherwise: | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | (A) the parties; | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | (B) the parties' officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys; and | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | (C) other persons who are in active concert or participation with | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | anyone described in Rule 65(d)(2)(A) or (B)." | Aug 25 09:02 |
schestowitz | "http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/Rule65.htm | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Andy obviously has never been in court when a federal judge threatens | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | to slap someone in jail if an entity doesn't comply with an injunction | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | immediately. I have. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | On one memorable occasion I watched Judge James Burns, upon being told | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | that the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and U.S. Dept. of the Interior had | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | defied his injunction, calmly tell an Assistant U.S. Attorney that he | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | wanted the Secretaries of those two departments in his courtroom on | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Monday to show cause why they should not be jailed for contempt of | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | court, unless the two Departments were in compliance before then and | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | he had affidavits in hand from the Secretaries themselves swearing | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | that their departments were in compliance. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | The Secretaries did not have to appear because the Departments | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | immediately complied with the injunction and the Assistant U.S. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Attorney supplied the court with the sworn affidavits from the | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Secretaries attesting to it. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | In other words, if Microsoft does not comply with the injunction | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | (assuming it is not stayed pending appeal), the judge can slap Steve | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Ballmer and as many other Microsoft management types it desires in | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | jail until Microsoft comes into compliance." | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | "Andy also missed that the reason Microsoft got away with not complying | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | with the DG Competition order in regard to the Samba team was that DG | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Competition and Microsoft had stipulated that Microsoft need not | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | supply the information to the Samba team pending the Court of First | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Instance's decision. That was to reduce the number of issues on | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | appeal, since Microsoft had raised intellectual property defenses to | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | providing the communications protocol specifications on terms | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | compatible with FOSS licensing. And he's apparently forgotten the two | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | whopper fines DG Competition imposed for Microsoft's delaying tactics | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | in getting the specifications written and made available even for | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | proprietary software competitors. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Andy's entire "the i4i decision doesn't really matter to Microsoft" is | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | utter bullshit, the brain fart of a guy who habitually shoots off his | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | mouth without doing his homework first. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | The i4i lawyers have Microsoft's nuts in a vice if: [i] Microsoft does | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | not win its motion for a stay of the injunction pending appeal; and | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | [ii] Microsoft is unable by October 10 to pump out a new release of | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Office that does not infringe the patent." | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | "In my carefully studied opinion, the latter is next to impossible, for | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | a host of reasons I won't dwell on here. Even if Microsoft could pull | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | that off, the folks who are already locked into Microsoft's Custom XML | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | (mostly enterprises) with multi-year licensing contracts, acquire the | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | right to sue Microsoft for their damages from being unable to acquire | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | more copies of Custom XML-enabled Word as required by the license | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | contracts and being forced into integrating a new version of word that | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | destroys their Custom XML. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | To boot, Microsoft will be required by the terms of the injunction to | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | turn off the Office 2007 service pack 2 hose on October 10 as well | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | unless it stops selling Word in the U.S. or gets that rebuilt version | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | of Word done before then. SP 2 is already widely distributed and | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | implemented, but automatic updates via the Internet that apply that | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | patch are scheduled to begin September 23. What's Microsoft to do, | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | block all IP addresses in the U.S. for the automatic updates? And how | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | would the folks who are entitled to SP 2 under the terms of the | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | injunction feel about that? More satellite litigation?" | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | "Bottom line: Andy Updegrove stuck his foot way down his throat this | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | time, on an elementary issue that gets thoroughly covered in every | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | first-year law student's mandatory Rules of Civil Procedure class. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | Right or wrong, judges who issue orders in civil cases have to be | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | obeyed. | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | This is not to say that there are not narrow exceptions. But this case | Aug 25 09:03 |
schestowitz | does not fall within any of them I ever learned of." | Aug 25 09:03 |

schestowitz | Nokia did that with the previously dual-licensed GPL/Proprietary Qt | Aug 27 15:28 |
schestowitz | after purchasing Trolltech. That was a real jack-ass thing to do. | Aug 27 15:28 |
schestowitz | Before, Qt users had two choices, both of which benefit Qt: pay cash to | Aug 27 15:28 |
schestowitz | Qt developers for a proprietary license or pay improvements forward to | Aug 27 15:28 |
schestowitz | the community of Qt users. Either way, Qt benefits. | Aug 27 15:28 |
schestowitz | Fast forward to 2009. Nokia has purchased Trolltech and re-licensed Qt | Aug 27 15:28 |
schestowitz | as LGPL. | Aug 27 15:28 |
schestowitz | There's a lot of anti-GPL buzz and manipulation in the Finnish tech | Aug 27 15:28 |

schestowitz | "EPL, GPL and BSD, Oh My!" | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | "Hi Roy, | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | Today, open source CNET blogger Matt Asay wrapped up his post on some hypocrisy coming out of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) camp by being a good neighbor and yelling over the fence "Put your code where your mouth is... and make sure it's truly open to derivative works, while you're at it". | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | It's good to see open source is well at work... getting gut checked by the ones who love and know them best. Asay, who frequently comments on the FSF, is set to throw down a gauntlet on behalf of the GPL, a license published by the very same FSF, this coming Monday, August 31." | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | "The Free and Open Source Software Learning Centre(FOSSLC) has arranged a live debate (in Ottawa and on free webcast), that may very well turn into a free-for-all smack down to shake the dust off the longtime argument over which open source license is best. | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | Tune in to see how Asay fares in his defense of the GPL, in spite of a recent Black Duck report that found that "the percentage of open source projects using GPL variants dropped from 70 to 65 percent from the previous year" (as reported in InfoWorld). | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | Also tapped for this showdown, Eclipse Foundation Executive Director Mike Milinkovich who will be advocating the Eclipse Public License (EPL), a weaker copyleft license that is intended to be more business friendly and a encourage commercial ecosystem. " | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | "Taking up the third position in this battle-of-licenses is Coverity's Open Source Strategist David Maxwell, who will stand behind the permissive Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) software license. Maxwell is on the Board of Directors at the BSD and for the last three years has run the Dept of Homeland Security funded Scan Initiative, the largest public-private partnership of its kind focused open source code quality and | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | integrity. | Aug 27 15:30 |
schestowitz | FOSSLC would like Asay, Milinkovich, and Maxwell to face a firing squad and wants the public to do the shooting. Please consider posting a question to the debate at http://bit.ly/DKyUJ and alerting your readers about the debate and question submit box. The who, what, where, when and why about this debate can be found in the press release. | Aug 27 15:30 |

schestowitz | "No hard feelings. All (or most) is fair in free and open source debate | Aug 31 15:42 |

schestowitz | different. Thanks as always for participating." | Aug 31 15:42 |
schestowitz | Next exhibit almost done now......... | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | "Hi Roy, | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | Okay, here's what we did...(I'm a little tired, so if this all ends up looking like random rambling thoughts, I apologise)... | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | First, with the lists of names, the email addresses were unreadable for the most part. I made the decision to just leave them out. I was pretty sure you'd agree. They really serve no purpose and likely are no longer valid anyway, plus it's just not a good thing to do. If anyone wants those emails they can just use the original PDF and decipher them on their own, don't you think? | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | Also, as we got past the first 6 pages we realized the next 7 pages were just repeats of the first half. For instance, pages 10 and 11 are duplicates of the "hit lists" on pages 4 and 5. It's due to each email containing prior emails and replies to replies, etc. So I'm just sending the first six pages. | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | We did use the Groklaw version as text for the non-"hit list" pages, but went through all of it to make sure it matched up, and to get rid of the formatting." | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | "Speaking of formatting...The "hit list" pages contain a lot of tabbing. We tried to just do them without tabbing, but it got too confusing to read (and to edit and proof), so we put the tabbing back. I hope this doesn't cause you a lot of extra work. | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | Side note: This week we've been hit with power outages and brown-outs almost every afternoon..it's been very hot outside, well over 110 degrees, though it should be cooling off to 106 to 108 this next week. So I've had to dedicate my mornings to getting work done so we could power things down for the rest of the day. Also had one computer belly-up and spent two days getting it running again. So it's been a very hectic wee | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | k. | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | Not looking for sympathy (we're used to desert summer temps), just wanted to let you know that when I asked for help doing this PDF, two helpers cheerfully stepped up and spent their Sunday morning on sorting out the "hit list". (I had to laugh when they told me they used to help Chris with Comes stuff too, I didn't realise they'd done that). I just thought it was really nice of them to give up their Sunday morning to help | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | out." | Aug 31 16:50 |
schestowitz | "I asked if they'd like attribution, but both said no. So, for this one, no attribution is necessary (not for me either), especially since everything but the two list pages were already done by a Groklaw volunteer... | Aug 31 16:51 |
schestowitz | ...But maybe give a nice "thank you" to the anonymous volunteers that worked hard on their day off to transcribe the "hit list" for you. They'll like that. | Aug 31 16:51 |
schestowitz | Okay, I've rambled enough...the gedit file is attached...I'll be shutting things down here for a while, but will head over to BN IRC first to let you know I sent this... | Aug 31 16:51 |
schestowitz | :o) " | Aug 31 16:51 |
schestowitz | Lots of groupwork. It's all cumulative. The good news is that we successfully derail Microsoft's attempt to befriend FOSS (Microsoft folks heckle me) and their profit fell by a third this Q and the previous one too. Every little helps. | Aug 31 17:30 |
