Sure, I was wrong but I stand by my opinion that Mossberg is just as much in M$’s pocket as Rob Guth. Your insight will be appreciated. Mossberg has consistently bashed free software and completely missed the boat on investigating M$ wrongdoing. |

He’ll anger some KDE folks.. “”In all fairness, Torvalds hasn’t tried, to the best of my knowledge, the new KDE 4.2. Still, when all is said and done, to me KDE 4.2, like the Windows 7 ribbon, is change just for the sake of change, not for the sake of making things easier for users. Personally, I’m going to stick with KDE 3.5x and start spending more time with GNOME 2.24. I think you should too.” |

i’ve never heard them play, but hey, there’s steve howe and carl palmer which i like |

Wow – and I thought prog rock was virtually dead… |
Jan 27 17:01 |
| PetoKraus |
it actually is |
Jan 27 17:01 |
| kentma1 |
what – dead, you mean? |
Jan 27 17:01 |
| PetoKraus |
just Jethro Tull, Asia, and Yes happen to have tours this year |
Jan 27 17:01 |
| PetoKraus |
since it’s 40 years anniversary for all of them |
Jan 27 17:01 |
| PetoKraus |
(+- a year) |
Jan 27 17:01 |
| kentma1 |
and queen, of course, ‘cept Freddy’s not very alive any more. |
Jan 27 17:01 |
| PetoKraus |
queen is not much of prog though |
Jan 27 17:01 |
| kentma1 |
Queen? Last of the prog bands we always thought. |
Jan 27 17:02 |
| kentma1 |
categories are never cut & dried, though… and I’m not so bothered to argue about it |
Jan 27 17:02 |
| PetoKraus |
yeah me neither, i like them |
Jan 27 17:02 |
| kentma1 |
Yes are touring? mmmmmmmmmm |
Jan 27 17:03 |
| PetoKraus |
though i’d say they are more of a “classic rock” |
Jan 27 17:03 |
| PetoKraus |
in the states, without Jon though |
Jan 27 17:03 |
| PetoKraus |
Jon almost died of astma just before start of the tour |
Jan 27 17:03 |
| PetoKraus |
they had to cancel European 2009 tour and moved US 2008 to 2008/2009 dates with some other singer |
Jan 27 17:03 |
| kentma1 |
I was a big queen fan, but also I like Yes and Jethro and ELP and Soft Machine and Caravan and King Crimson and so on. |
Jan 27 17:03 |
| kentma1 |
Jon Deacon – bass player – ohh, poor b*gger. |
Jan 27 17:04 |
| PetoKraus |
i mean Jon Anderson of Yes |
Jan 27 17:04 |
| kentma1 |
ah, that jon – nasty business – is he okay now? |
Jan 27 17:05 |
| PetoKraus |
stabilised |
Jan 27 17:05 |
| PetoKraus |
can’t tour |
Jan 27 17:05 |
| PetoKraus |
though the guy who’s replacing him is really good. You wouldn’t tell. |
Jan 27 17:06 |
| PetoKraus |
*tell them apart. |
Jan 27 17:06 |
| kentma1 |
best of luck to him. My no1 son will ill for about 5 years constantly with eczema & asthma – I was more or less living in the hospital and doctor’s – these things are awful. |

coach is usually cheapest. Probably do it by coach for £30 or so. |
Jan 27 17:12 |
| PetoKraus |
no license |
Jan 27 17:12 |
| kentma1 |
ahhh |
Jan 27 17:12 |

yeah, bus will be like £40 |
Jan 27 17:13 |

or 24… |
Jan 27 17:14 |

bmi are saying flights from £21, but you’ll need both ways, and you’ll have to pay airport charges, and you need to get to/fro the airports. |

It seems possible that we have trolls in BN (corporate ones) but Shane doesn’t mind. |
Jan 27 17:40 |
| schestowitz |
One guy says: “I disagree strongly with Shane’s position that “it doesn’t matter whom is behind a post.” For example, suppose I want to do a programming project and I want outside advice on which platform and language to use. “ |
Jan 27 17:41 |
| schestowitz |
“One person I could ask is a Microsoft MVP. The other person has a computer science degree, has used many languages, many operating systems and is familiar with data structures and algorithms.” |
Jan 27 17:41 |
| schestowitz |
“I would attach more credibility to the second person’s advice because he probably doesn’t have an economic incentive (conflict of interest) to give a particular answer and his advice is more likely to be based on his better experience and knowledge. It does matter who is giving the advice. “ |
Jan 27 17:41 |
| schestowitz |
“I also consider it ludicrous that Shane even thinks that it’s possible to be a shill or astro-turfer for Free Software. I appreciate the humour, although it was unintentional. :)”” |
Jan 27 17:41 |
| schestowitz |
“Actually, I agree with Shane partially in that, if you’re discussing established facts and presenting them to make an argument, then the argument should be evaluated based on its merit and not on who made it. However, when it comes to opinions, then it is important to know whose opinion it is. It helps to evaluate the opinion based on perceived credibility of the source.” |
Jan 27 17:42 |
| schestowitz |
“Of course, in the “Dan O’Brian” case, his opinions are predictable and I often disagree with them. It wouldn’t matter to me if he spoke anonymously. In fact, if someone on the Web site wants to comment anonymously (i.e. “Baby in the Bathwater”), they can do that right now.” |

Todd Bishop has recently devolved into some kind of a Microsoft marketing machine. Realising that Microsoft is slowly dying he seems to be jumping to their rescue. Maybe I’ll just dump his RSS feed later this week… |

| amarsh04 |
this machine still has dual-boot with windows (95OSR2) but most of what I still want to run works in dosemu |
Jan 27 20:16 |
| amarsh04 |
was worth getting linux running on this machine – it turned out that the scsi driver for the dpt scsi controller was non functional from kernel 2.6.23 until I reported the problem and someone on linux-scsi fixed it in under 10 hours and the fix made 2.6.28.1 |
Jan 27 20:18 |
| amarsh04 |
is really funny trying to find a working w95 driver for a radeon 9200se video card or realtek 8139 ethernet card |
Jan 27 20:20 |
| amarsh04 |
I like the way that as long as there is working hardware somewhere, generally the linux support will be there too |
Jan 27 20:21 |

there we go, OOo 3.0.1 installed |
Jan 27 20:21 |

I still want to find a gsm sim card reader that works in linux |

anyone want the weather from here? 32 C at 7am, 44 C max forecast |
Jan 27 20:23 |

schestowitz, Did Red Hat layoff anyone? |
Jan 27 20:25 |
| amarsh04 |
that should be easy, PetoKraus, although you might want a powered ethernet version so you could measure temperatures away from your pc easily |
Jan 27 20:27 |
| PetoKraus |
amarsh04: i planned on putting it to a server which runs 24/7 |
Jan 27 20:28 |

Jan 27 20:28 |

the temp is dropping in glasgow |
Jan 27 20:28 |

you want more than the cpu and disk temperatures then? |
Jan 27 20:28 |
| PetoKraus |
down to 3°C |
Jan 27 20:29 |
| PetoKraus |
amarsh04: i want actually room temperature |
Jan 27 20:29 |
| amarsh04 |
sounds better than 44 C |
Jan 27 20:29 |
| PetoKraus |
yes, it does |
Jan 27 20:29 |

25°C is the max i can handle |
