schestowitz"Justan Admin ought to know that every time you patch you risk busting something elsewhere in your operation. People aren't stupid.

MinceRif they're opped, they can set +o on anyoneJul 01 07:26

MinceRbut for adding flags in ChanServ, there's a flag to allow thatJul 01 07:26
schestowitzmikankun: seems like a Vists7 adJul 01 07:27

*schestowitz gives channel operator status to MinceRJul 01 07:27
*ChanServ removes channel operator status from MinceRJul 01 07:27
schestowitz"ChanServ removes channel operator status from MinceR"Jul 01 07:27
MinceRmaybe you have some setting that makes ChanServ keep ops out of the hands of those who don't have the flag?Jul 01 07:28
MinceR084627 [freenode] -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- SECURE          Prevents unauthorized users from gaining operator status.Jul 01 07:28
MinceRwell, then you can prevent ops from opping more people :)Jul 01 07:29
schestowitzHow can this be changed?Jul 01 07:29
schestowitzI'd need to call in [h]omerJul 01 07:29

schestowitzPerception managementJul 01 07:31
MinceRwe don't have a lot to identify mutex though, the only thing i've seen is that he was the only one from bigpondJul 01 07:31
schestowitzYes, also in his comments.Jul 01 07:31
kentma1the name is a clue of sorts, anyway - mutex was the name MS came up with to avoid using the term "spinlock", I believe.Jul 01 07:32
MinceRinterestingJul 01 07:32
kentma1I think the MS marketing machine thought the term "spinlock" to be too negative.Jul 01 07:33
MinceRlolJul 01 07:33
kentma1btw - what was multios?Jul 01 07:34
MinceRnever heard of itJul 01 07:34
kentma1well, you probably won't now.  apparently the project was declared dead on the 29th of JuneJul 01 07:35
MinceRwhat was it about?Jul 01 07:35
Motoko-chanschestowitz, if the services here have levels, you could just give them the right level to be auto-oped.Jul 01 07:35
kentma1http://osgeex.blogspot.com/2009/06/free-multios-decleared-dead.htmlJul 01 07:35
MinceRwhat i found out is that spinlock is one way to implement a mutexJul 01 07:36

schestowitzHi, thenixedreport Jul 01 13:54
thenixedreportI see that Stallman finally made a clarification in regards to Mono.Jul 01 13:55
schestowitzMany people took the burden of explaining to people the problems with Mono, so it's long overdue. We spoke about this for 3 yearsJul 01 13:55
thenixedreportPersonally, I think that Mono has been used the whole time to divide and conquer FOSS.Jul 01 13:55
MinceRit has.Jul 01 13:55
MinceRand it's also a trap.Jul 01 13:55
thenixedreport(With the added bonus of lawsuit attempts)Jul 01 13:55
thenixedreportExcept that any lawsuit attempts would possibly be null and void at this point.Jul 01 13:57
thenixedreportI'm saying this due to MS employees being directly involved with Mono.Jul 01 13:58
MinceRat this point, yes. in the future, no.Jul 01 13:58
thenixedreportIf they're helping Mono along, why would they sue people using it later?Jul 01 13:58
thenixedreportThey would be laughed out of the courtroom, wouldn't they?Jul 01 13:58
MinceRbecause they want to take down gnu/linux, whatever it takes.Jul 01 13:58
MinceRpeople bringing trucks of money to the courtroom rarely get laughed out of it.Jul 01 13:59
thenixedreportIn that case, they have probably already given up on any patent suits at this point (at least, major ones).Jul 01 13:59
thenixedreportI think I see what they're trying to do.Jul 01 13:59
thenixedreportThey're trying to infiltrate, then control any form of FOSS, to where people give up.Jul 01 13:59
MinceRcontrol via patents, yesJul 01 14:00
thenixedreportThat is, they give up developing for alternative platforms.Jul 01 14:00

thenixedreportLook, I get that.Jul 01 14:04
oiaohmEven if MS staff were working on it MS still could sue.Jul 01 14:04

thenixedreportI'm also attempting to think outside the box.Jul 01 14:04
oiaohmThinking out side the box is what I do.Jul 01 14:04
oiaohmJava was a pure secure object language.Jul 01 14:04
oiaohm.net is a halfway attempt between java and native code.Jul 01 14:05
oiaohmSo there is no reason why there cannot be another attempt closer to native code.Jul 01 14:05
thenixedreportI'm not saying that Mono doesn't have patent issues.Jul 01 14:06
thenixedreportI'm also not saying it's a decent developer tool either.Jul 01 14:06
thenixedreportIt isn't.Jul 01 14:06
thenixedreportNot as far as I'm concerned.Jul 01 14:06
oiaohmMono without patents is still harmful.Jul 01 14:06
thenixedreportI feel that there are bigger threats at the moment.Jul 01 14:06
thenixedreportThat dwarf Mono.Jul 01 14:06
thenixedreportMicrosoft infiltrating FOSS to poison it for example.Jul 01 14:07
thenixedreportAnd taking advantage of the Mono controversy.Jul 01 14:07
oiaohm.net code cannot intergrate into gobject so effectively its sucking development pool away from the core of gnome.Jul 01 14:07
oiaohmSo weaking gnome.Jul 01 14:07
thenixedreportBingo.Jul 01 14:07
thenixedreportThen what's left?Jul 01 14:07
thenixedreportXFCE, KDE, LXDE, and E17.Jul 01 14:07
oiaohmXFCE also depends on gobject.Jul 01 14:08
thenixedreportXFCE relies on GTK as well.Jul 01 14:08
oiaohmIts also sucking developers away from that.Jul 01 14:08
thenixedreportThen there's KDE, in which people still prefer 3.5 (and others liking 4 thus far).Jul 01 14:08
oiaohmgobject is from glib under GTK.Jul 01 14:08
oiaohmKDE people will move on from 3.5 when time is right.Jul 01 14:08
thenixedreportTrue.Jul 01 14:09
oiaohmBasically when 4.x catchs up on the features they use.Jul 01 14:09
thenixedreportThen there's LXDE.Jul 01 14:09
thenixedreportI've seen the screenshots.Jul 01 14:09
oiaohmMono developers also tried to get hooks into KDE.Jul 01 14:09
thenixedreportBeautiful, and I hear it can run on Pentium II's pretty quickly.Jul 01 14:09
oiaohmKDE treats mono as any other scripting language not that important.Jul 01 14:09
thenixedreportIt's not Mono itself.Jul 01 14:10
oiaohmYou don't base core bits in Mono with KDE.Jul 01 14:10
thenixedreportIt's the people pushing it who need to be focused on.Jul 01 14:10
thenixedreportIt's also Microsoft and Windows 7.Jul 01 14:10
thenixedreport7 has the potential to be a serious contender (though there are some visible chinks in it).Jul 01 14:10
oiaohmLot of gnome developers are aware of problem.Jul 01 14:10
oiaohmSo started vala project.Jul 01 14:11
thenixedreportThat's a great way to start.Jul 01 14:11
thenixedreportGnote is another way to start.Jul 01 14:11
thenixedreportImproving Anjuta wouldn't hurt either.Jul 01 14:11
oiaohmAlso vala is on a fast track for development.Jul 01 14:11
thenixedreportEven Gambas has the option to create GTK applications.Jul 01 14:11
thenixedreportThat's good.Jul 01 14:11
oiaohmUnder 12 months to create.Jul 01 14:11
oiaohmGnome developers are long term beasts.Jul 01 14:12
thenixedreportGood news.Jul 01 14:12
oiaohmLet mono developers think they have won for now.Jul 01 14:12

*cftysdfg has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))Jul 01 15:19
the_mad_hatterOK, just curious. I'm left handed, learned how to play right (because back then you couldn't find left handed guitars), and then was forced to switch to left because of an injury, and the difference is incredible, it just feels so natural.Jul 01 15:19
the_mad_hatterI wish I'd gone left years ago.Jul 01 15:20
antileetthe_mad_hatter: Do you invert the strings or just adjust?Jul 01 15:20
antileetI inverted a friend's strings on her bass, so that the string positions become more natural, she felt a significant improvement because she plays left handedJul 01 15:21
the_mad_hatterI was advised to just turn my guitar upside down, but instead I bought a real left handed guitar.Jul 01 15:21
the_mad_hatterSo strings are reversed to a right. I actually had to convert a guitar for a friend to left (rsi issues) and she said it was more natural too.Jul 01 15:22
the_mad_hatterproblem is the world isn't friendly to us lefties.Jul 01 15:22
antileetthe trouble is that most of the chord shapes are optimized for the right hand. so I guess it's best to go in for a left handed oneJul 01 15:22

trmanco"Mono is not the panacea. Mono is a great way of developing easily, without spending that much time. But some skilled GNOME developers already showed the world (*cough*GNote*cough*) how Mono is NOT saving time to someone who is skilled and knows how to do things the right way. To me, GNote is not a symbol of freedom, but a symbol of the fact that people can still use GTK with success with C or C++ (and by this point I hope you realized that thisJul 01 22:57
trmancois not a war against GTK, more some constructive criticysm)."Jul 01 22:57

schestowitzScary thoughtJul 01 23:33
-BNc/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] @davidgerard: it's a mixed company. Google has ex-Microsoft employees in it too.Jul 01 23:33
oiaohmIts the reason why patent coverage on standards are important.  Companies working with you standards can turn nuts.Jul 01 23:33
oiaohmNovell always has owned Unix.Jul 01 23:33
oiaohmJust they legally cannot use it due to there court case loss to BSD.Jul 01 23:34
oiaohmIts part of the settlement with BSD over Novell breaching copyright.Jul 01 23:34
oiaohmSCO is a funny case.   It was also Novell paperwork to them that suggested control of Unix had been transfered to SCO.  Problem is due to the prior BSD case the main copyright and lot of other things are not transferable.Jul 01 23:37
