-BNc/#boycottnovell-[_goblin] Right, Im off to bed. Had a busy day with most of it not having an IT theme. Night all.....Jan 03 00:48
DaemonFCyeah, I used to use Corel softwareJan 03 00:57
DaemonFCstopped buying it when they started making you activate it, and enforced it with a process that always ranJan 03 00:57
DaemonFCI try to at least minimize my dependence on DRM-ridden software that's easily replacedJan 03 00:58
DaemonFCOpenOffice is a lot better than Corel's WordPerfect OfficeJan 03 00:59
DaemonFCCorel's doesn't even support OOXML *or* ODFJan 03 00:59
DaemonFCit supports its own formats which nothing else can even openJan 03 00:59
DaemonFCand Microsoft Office 2003 and earlier formatsJan 03 01:00
DaemonFCPhoto Paint and Corel Draw actually aren't terrible, but the DRM process that they come with should put you off from buying itJan 03 01:00
ender2070_I used wordperfect back in high schoolJan 03 01:01
ender2070_superior to ms word in every wayJan 03 01:01
DaemonFCmaybe back thenJan 03 01:01
ender2070_open office trumps both thoughJan 03 01:01
DaemonFCender2070: If you're paying $100 for an office suite, you expect it to have features that are not in someone else's freebieJan 03 01:02
DaemonFCnot the other way aroundJan 03 01:02
DaemonFCif you're going to pay that much for WordPerfect Office, you should jsut go for broke and get MS OfficeJan 03 01:02
DaemonFCnot that I'd suggest eitherJan 03 01:02
cubezzzI hated WP :)Jan 03 01:03
ender2070_when I used wordperfect it was Corel OfficeJan 03 01:03
cubezzzbut I hated Microsoft even moreJan 03 01:03
ender2070_6.x, 7.x 8.x and 9.x I usedJan 03 01:03
DaemonFCOpenOffice actually poses more of a threat to Microsoft than Linux and every other open source program put togetherJan 03 01:03
ender2070_this was before open officeJan 03 01:03
ender2070_office makes microsoft a killingJan 03 01:03
DaemonFCwell, save for Firefox anywayJan 03 01:03
cubezzzpaperclip wasn't too badJan 03 01:04
*trmanco_ (n=trmanco@unaffiliated/trmanco) has joined #boycottnovellJan 03 01:04
shreddarYeah, DRM authenticated software is something that turns people off to  alot of software. That is once they've spotted it.Jan 03 01:04
DaemonFCender2070: Yeah, it would be more of a tragedy if OOo and Firefox were gone than if Linux ceased to existJan 03 01:04
DaemonFCOpenOffice is actually getting some serious adoption on WindowsJan 03 01:04
DaemonFCand hurting Microsoft from thereJan 03 01:04
DaemonFCthat's what's funnyJan 03 01:04
DaemonFCand they can't do anything about it without getting sued by entire countriesJan 03 01:05
DaemonFChaving OOo and Firefox on Windows has Microsoft fuming and impotent to stop themJan 03 01:05
cubezzzdamn it cbc stop shifting your radio linksJan 03 01:06
DaemonFCTrue that Microsoft doesn't actually make a lot of money directly from IE and their formats and such that you find online, but it does anger them that you can leave Windows and still browse the web just fineJan 03 01:07
shreddarThat reminds the that logically Free/Stable/Mature/Flexible Software > Expensive/Buggy/Invasive/Un-flexible Software.Jan 03 01:07
DaemonFCFirefox is more or less the doorstop that keeps the door from slamming shut and locking you in with WindowsJan 03 01:07
DaemonFChaving their upper management recommending Bing is very disturbing indeedJan 03 01:08
cubezzzthey just want to control everythingJan 03 01:08
cubezzzdon't let themJan 03 01:08
ender2070_yes I found that disturbingJan 03 01:08
DaemonFChaving them stand by and allow Microsoft to infect Firefox with their plug-ins is even more terrifyingJan 03 01:08
ender2070_whats better than firefox though?Jan 03 01:09
shreddarYes that would never have happend if they stayed non-profit.Jan 03 01:09

shreddarender, Chrome is IMO.Jan 03 01:09
ender2070_Chrome has potentialJan 03 01:09
cubezzzor even better... write your own browserJan 03 01:09
DaemonFCyou literally have to stand around and wait for attack sites to start pwning Firefox users before Mozilla blacklists the MS plug-in that let it happenJan 03 01:09
ender2070_Chrome is missing a decent adblocking pluginJan 03 01:10
DaemonFCI'm back to using Seamonkey for some reason or another :PJan 03 01:10

shreddarI myself never once considered paying for a Zip/Unzip program.Jan 03 15:34
amarsh04funnily enough W95osr2 worked fine with the soundblaster live!5.1 model 0220, which wouldn't work properly with later versions of ms-windowsJan 03 15:35
amarsh04I registered PKZIP 2.04g Jan 03 15:35
DaemonFCshreddar: I just used the DOS version of pkzip/pkunzip for YEARSJan 03 15:35
DaemonFClike, I was still using them until Windows Me had native ZIP supportJan 03 15:35
amarsh04or maybe that was just DSZJan 03 15:35
amarsh04I did register PAK 2.10Jan 03 15:35
DaemonFCfunniest part was that they were 30 day shareware that were nagging me for like 10 years to register them :)Jan 03 15:36
DaemonFCthe Windows version of PKZIP had a freeware mode where it installed Cydoor spywareJan 03 15:36
DaemonFCor you could pay them $40Jan 03 15:36
DaemonFCI chose to use the DOS versionJan 03 15:36
amarsh04and paid for a PPP stack for MS-DOS. Novell should have just made LAN Workplace for DOS FLOSS when they abandoned itJan 03 15:36
DaemonFCamarsh04: What was worse was paying for TCP/IP on Windows 3.1 or the first iteration of Windows 95Jan 03 15:37
DaemonFC$30 license for Trumpet WinsockJan 03 15:37
amarsh04my work was running Netware 3.12 so they purchased the Novell Client kit which came with the TCP/IP stackJan 03 15:38
DaemonFCyou could do that, or you could choose AOL, MSN,  Compuserve, Prodigy....instead of the real internetJan 03 15:38
shreddarIf Windows was Trial Ware I bet most people would just as easily not pay. (Which is why they couldn't do that 3 Application antif-eature they wanted for the beginner version)Jan 03 15:38
DaemonFCyeah, Microsoft never sold Windows 95 OSR 2/2.1 directlyJan 03 15:39
DaemonFCit had FAT32 and TCP/IP by default, as well as full support for USB 1.1Jan 03 15:39
amarsh04yes, I know, it's still installed and runnable on this machineJan 03 15:39
DaemonFCof course there kind of were no PCs that supported USB really and Apple was trying to make Firewire the standardJan 03 15:40
DaemonFCI came close to buying a Mac when they released the G4 cube but went with a Windows 98 PC insteadJan 03 15:40
DaemonFCOS 9 was just as bad reallyJan 03 15:41
DaemonFCsome people had tried to install Linux and were never heard from again because it didn't support their modem :)Jan 03 15:41
amarsh04depends on the era... I found an old soyo motherboard from the mid-90's that had pins for connecting USB which worked fineJan 03 15:42
DaemonFCactually it's funny, because Linux never had proper 3dfx graphics card support until years after the company went bankruptJan 03 15:42
amarsh04this machine from early 1998 has 2 usb sockets on the backJan 03 15:42
amarsh04well, the DPT SCSI controller in this machine is just a twinkle in Adaptec's eye nowJan 03 15:43
DaemonFCLinux rule appears to be "If it doesn't work and there are only a few billion people that have such a device, try back in a year or three"Jan 03 15:43
amarsh04no trace of drivers on adaptec's siteJan 03 15:43
DaemonFCAdaptec I think is who made my CD burning software that I was using like 12 years agoJan 03 15:44
amarsh04runs fine in linuxJan 03 15:44
DaemonFCtried to keep using it in Windows ME but it wouldn't work fullyJan 03 15:44
DaemonFCthe entire drive backup needed DOSJan 03 15:44
DaemonFCso I ended up patching Windows ME to allow booting to DOSJan 03 15:44
DaemonFCand all was well for like a year until Windows XP came outJan 03 15:44
DaemonFCI got an XP system on the first day you could get themJan 03 15:45
DaemonFCall kinds of application crashes, driver problems, blue screens of death. The original XP was worse than Windows 98Jan 03 15:45
DaemonFCand it took 4 years and two service packs before I really wanted to deal with it (I ducked back to Windows 2000)Jan 03 15:46
DaemonFCI don't know HOW Microsoft can be this awful and somehow Linux appeals to me less. I presume it's because I have hardware that's less than 5 years old most of the time.Jan 03 15:47

DaemonFCHe left his main server running Red Hat Linux 9 until 2008Jan 03 16:28

DaemonFCthen his rant about XINE and MPlayer was knee-slapping funnyJan 03 16:31
