DaemonFCschestowitz, genetics are a bitchOct 14 01:26
DaemonFCmy dad is on Zestril, has been for like 18 years nowOct 14 01:26
DaemonFCanyhow, they think that may have contributed to the seizuresOct 14 01:26
DaemonFCso they put me on the zestril to control itOct 14 01:27
DaemonFC$4 a month is hardly worth arguing with them aboutOct 14 01:27
schestowitzPaid off well for themOct 14 01:27
schestowitzIf the drug goes wrong it's more revenueOct 14 01:27
schestowitzUntil there is a public health care systemOct 14 01:27
DaemonFCit doesn't have many side effectsOct 14 01:27
DaemonFColder drugs don't seem to have as many as newer onesOct 14 01:28
schestowitzIt's not amountOct 14 01:28
schestowitzOr numbersOct 14 01:28
DaemonFCI think the approval process is more lax nowOct 14 01:28
DaemonFCI won't use the meds with nasty side effectsOct 14 01:28
Balrog_hmmm. Xorg 1.7 for Mac is in alpha, and 1.6 will soon be releasedOct 14 01:29
Balrog_anyway how is everything going in here?Oct 14 01:30
DaemonFCschestowitz, diet is important for a lot of stuff, but things like cholesterol can't always be controlled with thatOct 14 01:30
DaemonFCthey took a blood draw to do a lipid profile today so I may have to go on a statin if my cholesterol and triglycerides are too highOct 14 01:30
DaemonFCI'd rather take a few pills a day now than drop dead of a heart attack in 15 years when the blood pressure has destroyed my arteries, heart, etc.Oct 14 01:31
DaemonFCbrbOct 14 01:31
Balrog_schestowitz: how is everything going here? I've been ridiculously busyOct 14 01:32
schestowitzGoing wellOct 14 01:32
Balrog_that's goodOct 14 01:32
schestowitzNo interferences , which is niceOct 14 01:32
Balrog_yes, very much soOct 14 01:32
Balrog_I heard of that SideKick / Danger thingOct 14 01:32
Balrog_what a messOct 14 01:32
schestowitzLeopard Snow tooOct 14 01:33
schestowitzData lossOct 14 01:33
Balrog_well  yea I know about thatOct 14 01:33
Balrog_at least it's not as bad as the 10.5 / 10.5.1 data loss issuesOct 14 01:33
schestowitz"Hi, I'm a Mac. I lose data"Oct 14 01:33
schestowitz"And I'm a PC, I delete data remotely"Oct 14 01:33
Balrog_you'd lose data if you were moving files over the network and somehow interrupted itOct 14 01:33
Balrog_I've seen problems with linux filesystems too :(Oct 14 01:34
schestowitzYes, I wrote about the 2007 incidentOct 14 01:34
schestowitzBalrog_: ext4 was not final at this stageOct 14 01:34
Balrog_the joke around here about ReiserFS was that it kills your data (we had some issues with it)Oct 14 01:34
Balrog_I'm not talking about ext4Oct 14 01:34
Balrog_and ext3 is really stableOct 14 01:34
Balrog_but I'm just saying ... that latest and greatest isn't always the bestOct 14 01:35
Balrog_that's true with anything thoughOct 14 01:36
Balrog_I'm not happy with Apple about patching the jailbreak vuln out of the current iPhone 3gsOct 14 01:36
Balrog_this just came out today, tooOct 14 01:37
Balrog_and it seems like they're relying on the boot chain for security; not a good ideaOct 14 01:38
schestowitzhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HvGy2gY0eMOct 14 01:38
Balrog_(break the boot chain and the "hardware encryption" is useless ... I think you wrote about that)Oct 14 01:39
schestowitzBetter to buy from a company that does not prevent itOct 14 01:39
Balrog_well none of the current Android hardware performs that well. Also people aren't happy with what T-Mobile did to the MyTouch ... instead of shipping it with 288MB of RAM as in Europe they included only 192MB of RAMOct 14 01:40
Balrog_(also T-Mobile's network SUCKS here but that's a different story)Oct 14 01:40
Balrog_the situation with the cellular companies in the US is another messOct 14 01:41
Balrog_there are four, and two of them are terrible here (T-mobile and Sprint)Oct 14 01:41

DaemonFC:DOct 14 02:12
DaemonFCschestowitz, It's easier to remember the brand name than some weird chemical name that's three times longerOct 14 02:14
DaemonFCdoctors still do things like prescribe Prozac but sign it May SubstituteOct 14 02:15
DaemonFCyou still get the genericOct 14 02:15
DaemonFCit's why the drug companies make the brand name easier to remember than the chemical nameOct 14 02:16
DaemonFCsay Prozac, mean fluoxetine Oct 14 02:16

DaemonFCthe amount of time Yahoo forces you to wait for Norton to scan your attachments is unreasonableOct 14 16:02
DaemonFCand pictures can't have viruses anywayOct 14 16:02

DaemonFCI've never seen it happenOct 14 16:07
DaemonFCmaybe if they're encapsulated in something Oct 14 16:07
DaemonFClike those MP3 albums that make you run a spyware installer to unpack themOct 14 16:08
DaemonFCI came across one in search of a rare album onceOct 14 16:08
DaemonFCused 7zip to just unpack the mp3s without the spywareOct 14 16:08
DaemonFCmost people are retardedOct 14 16:08
DaemonFCthe technician doing my EEG was telling me how he sent money to a rogue antivirus outfit that had hosed his system with ransomwareOct 14 16:09
DaemonFCI tried my best to educate him a little without being condescending or anythingOct 14 16:09
DaemonFCbut it is really telling that even educated/intelligent people fall for thatOct 14 16:10
DaemonFCeducation and intelligence are no substitute for common senseOct 14 16:10
DaemonFCall three are important, but some people just seem to have an overabundance of one or two with a deficiency of the restOct 14 16:10

DaemonFCso I suggested to him how to get his money back, and if he couldn't, that he should report the card stolen before they come back for moreOct 14 16:12
schestowitzHe's the polar oppositeOct 14 16:13
DaemonFCand kind of clued him in on how these people operateOct 14 16:13
schestowitzPeons are hard to tame :-)Oct 14 16:13
schestowitzThey have families and wageOct 14 16:13
DaemonFCI've had to report a card stolen because Microsoft wouldn't stop billing me beforeOct 14 16:13
DaemonFCI had XBOX Live (on the original XBOX) and a premium Hotmail account while they had thoseOct 14 16:14
DaemonFClong story, but I guess I didn't learn the lesson cause I had another billing dispute on XBOX 360 LiveOct 14 16:14
DaemonFCand ended up having to talk to their XBOX Live division directorOct 14 16:14
DaemonFChe got it worked out, refunded my money, gave me a year of XBOX Live Gold, and three free video game couponsOct 14 16:15
DaemonFCso I guess it got resolved, but you should never, as a customer, have to talk to upper management of a company for something stupid like thisOct 14 16:15
DaemonFCit's a sign of a bad management structureOct 14 16:16
DaemonFCwhile I had his ear I told him that it was impossible to talk to the outsourced tech supportOct 14 16:17
DaemonFCthick accent, don't understand youOct 14 16:17
DaemonFCI think enough people must have had the same complaint cause their tech support is all in the US and Canada now if you call in from around hereOct 14 16:18
DaemonFCunless you call real late at nightOct 14 16:18
DaemonFCthen you may get someone in IndiaOct 14 16:18
DaemonFCthe last console I really thought was neat was the Sega DreamcastOct 14 16:21
DaemonFCThe Microsoft/Sony duopoly is not competing to raise the bar, they're conspiring to fix prices and blame the customer for problems brought on by bad quality controlOct 14 16:21
DaemonFCMicrosoft blamed the customers for their overheating XBOX 360 for over two and a half years before admitting that it was a manufacturing defect all along and that any console sold to that point would failOct 14 16:22
DaemonFCSony made customers of their Playstation 2 pay them $150 + shipping to replace the defective laserOct 14 16:23
DaemonFCit's not a new trick, MS support was trying to play gotcha games with me, such as "Do you have the console in confined area?" "Do you have the console placed on thick carpeting?"Oct 14 16:24
DaemonFCetcOct 14 16:24
DaemonFCschestowitz, Do you figure there will be a third party come along with a better deal for console gaming?Oct 14 16:25
DaemonFCgamers spend an insane amount of money, so there is money to be madeOct 14 16:25
DaemonFCyou'd think that billions of dollars getting thrown around would bring along more than two competitorsOct 14 16:26
DaemonFCmy new computer gets here today, I'll probably just start buying mainly PC gamesOct 14 16:29
DaemonFCthis system should handle everything out now and probably another year or moreOct 14 16:29
DaemonFCsave some $$$ getting all the stuff my old system couldn't handle at cut pricesOct 14 16:30
DaemonFCschestowitz, I'm not sure that anyone should really be fussing about Intel's drivers for their integrated GPU "cheating" on performance testsOct 14 16:31
DaemonFCtheir reply is perfectly feasibleOct 14 16:32
DaemonFCthat it does that cause it can offload that kind of work onto the CPU cores and it will do it for most popular video games tooOct 14 16:32
DaemonFCif the system has resources, the driver should find them and use them, and that benchmark suite should find a way to figure that inOct 14 16:32
DaemonFCwhy leave a couple CPU cores idling when you can grab them and use them to help out the GPU a little?Oct 14 16:33
DaemonFCschestowitz, It would be like the manager having a couple employees call in sick, but having a couple more employees around the worksite more than he needs in their areasOct 14 16:37
DaemonFCso does he pay them to stand there or tell them to go do what they can in the area with no coverage even though they aren't normally used for the tasks there?Oct 14 16:37
DaemonFCI haven't seen this Intel driver in action, but I'd lean towards calling it a feature, not cheating, based on what I've heardOct 14 16:38
DaemonFCCPUs as we know them are not going to get much faster in the next 10 years, certainly nothing like what we've seen in the last 10 yearsOct 14 16:40

DaemonFCthis is a pretty heavily Republican town, but I volunteered to canvass for Obama here before the electionOct 14 16:52

DaemonFCand most states invalidate faithless votes anywayOct 14 16:55
DaemonFCIndiana is one of themOct 14 16:55
DaemonFCif I was an elector and didn't vote for the candidate I had promised to, my vote would be invalidated, and one of the backup electors would vote insteadOct 14 16:56

DaemonFCthese might be more or less gone by next WednesdayOct 14 17:34
DaemonFCthe pain I woke up with only lasted about an hour this morningOct 14 17:36
DaemonFCit was lasting all day, then about 4-5 hours, then 2-3Oct 14 17:36
shreddarWhat happend?Oct 14 17:36
DaemonFCshreddar, seizures last month, arms bruised all over from muscle tensionsOct 14 17:36
DaemonFCwent to the chiropractor yesterday, he fixed my neck and back problemsOct 14 17:37
DaemonFCthe thinking based on everything they've seen is currently that high blood pressure perhaps along with the sinusitis put too much pressure on my brain and basically shorted it outOct 14 17:38
DaemonFCthat's the way I took it anywayOct 14 17:38
DaemonFCantibiotics killed the sinus infection and I'm on lisinopril (spelling?) for the blood pressure, it's generic ZestrilOct 14 17:38
DaemonFCmy dad has been on Zestril for the better part of 20 yearsOct 14 17:39
DaemonFCused to be non generic onlyOct 14 17:39
DaemonFC$4 a bottle now, but when he went on it, it was over $200Oct 14 17:39
DaemonFCand thank god he had insurance and good employment otherwise it may have gone untreated and he'd be dead by nowOct 14 17:40
DaemonFCI'm just glad it's a cheap generic now cause I have no insuranceOct 14 17:40
DaemonFCinteresting medicine though, they make it out of snake venomOct 14 17:40
DaemonFCit relaxes your blood vessels and lowers the blood pressure that wayOct 14 17:41
DaemonFCmuch less strain on veins, arteries, kidneys, and your heart and brain of courseOct 14 17:41
DaemonFCso I can view the seizures as a good thing in a perverse wayOct 14 17:41
DaemonFCcause they may have been a 20 year warning before I died of a heart attackOct 14 17:41

shreddarWell, I hope you get that under control.Oct 14 17:42
shreddarThe seizures I mean.Oct 14 17:42
DaemonFCthe seizures seem to have been brought on as a symptom of the real problem (high blood pressure/hypertension)Oct 14 17:43
DaemonFChypertension causes a little damage every day over years until you have internal organ failure such as a heart attack, or your blood vessels ruptureOct 14 17:44
DaemonFCso it's not something to take lightlyOct 14 17:44
shreddarOh, so your afraid of a future heart attack then.Oct 14 17:44
DaemonFCif they tell you to take pills, you better just ask how many and whenOct 14 17:44
DaemonFCor worseOct 14 17:44
DaemonFClike I said, it causes irreparable damage a little at a time, usually without symptomsOct 14 17:45
DaemonFCso you should keep an eye on your blood pressureOct 14 17:45
DaemonFCyou're talking on a scale of 20 or 30 years before it causes a massive heart attack or somethingOct 14 17:45
DaemonFCbut I don't want to drop dead at 45 years oldOct 14 17:46

trmancoI guess that's what he has been reading on GoogOct 14 23:05

voltronwschestowitz: seemed fair enough to me, what questions did you disagree with?Oct 14 23:05
schestowitzLeaving me just to polite reject what he presented falselyOct 14 23:05
schestowitzIncluding false accusation that he echoedOct 14 23:06
AlanBellit was a tough interview, certainlyOct 14 23:06
*DaemonFC has quit (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))Oct 14 23:06
jonoschestowitz I am sorry if you felt that wayOct 14 23:06
jonoI felt I provided an opportunity for you to respond to a variety of pointsOct 14 23:07
schestowitzjono: it's OKOct 14 23:07
trmancoI get about 3 negative results on the first google pageOct 14 23:07
schestowitzI knew it would be that wayOct 14 23:07
schestowitzYou brought up things that are not trueOct 14 23:07
trmancothey were also people pressuring for jono to go that wayOct 14 23:07
jonoschestowitz I raised topics,, and you said they were not trueOct 14 23:07
jonowhich is coolOct 14 23:08
voltronwschestowitz: what things?Oct 14 23:08
jonoits all part of the debate :)Oct 14 23:08
schestowitzIncluding some allegations from the anti-lInux slanderers who attack me insteadOct 14 23:08
AlanBellif it wasn't a tough interview it wouldn't have been so interesting!Oct 14 23:08
trmancoeverything went pretty smoothOct 14 23:08
jonoschestowitz as I said before, I wanted to raise criticisms leveled at you and give you an opportunity to respond on the airOct 14 23:09
schestowitzjono: don't worry about itOct 14 23:09
schestowitzIT was similar in the OOXML interviewOct 14 23:09
jonoschestowitz I was also concious to not talk about you when you had finished the interview, I think that would be innapropriateOct 14 23:09
schestowitzWhere the boradcaster and hosts are all aligned against the guest. I know Leo is a fan of Miguel; he said so.Oct 14 23:09
schestowitzBut that's OKOct 14 23:09
trmancoLeo actually liked youOct 14 23:09

trmancoat the end...Oct 14 23:10
jonoschestowitz we were not aligned against you, we were just asking a range of open ended questionsOct 14 23:10
AlanBellwas the boycott-boycottnovell site raised at all, I didn't catch the whole thingOct 14 23:10
schestowitzjono: let me clarify that I have no resentmentOct 14 23:10
schestowitzBut the alignment of question was push-pollingOct 14 23:10
schestowitzPortraying me as unreasonableOct 14 23:10
jonoschestowitz cool, and I have absolutely no resentment of youOct 14 23:10
schestowitzThen implying that I am a "spammer" and abuser because of what other people doOct 14 23:10
jonoI just wanted to give you an opportunity to come on and discuss the projectOct 14 23:10
schestowitzOr that "everyone is against me"Oct 14 23:10
trmancoAlanBell: it was continually "spammed" on the irc channel onlyOct 14 23:11
schestowitzA bit like someone going on FOx :-pOct 14 23:11
jonoschestowitz I didnt imply it, I very clearly said I dont believe you are spamming, but there is maybe a responsibility to help clarify that boycottnovell is not affiliated with those spammersOct 14 23:11
jonowhich I think wouild be healthy for the projectOct 14 23:11
trmancothat was already posted on BNOct 14 23:11
trmancosomething similar at leastOct 14 23:12
schestowitzjono: out of curiousity, have you had similar experience of misrepresentation?Oct 14 23:12
schestowitzThat's the type of thing that put Shane offOct 14 23:12
schestowitzLike folks from India who protestedOct 14 23:12
jonoerm, not really, sometimes people will publicly state their view and say that I would share itOct 14 23:12
jonowhich is not the caseOct 14 23:12
schestowitzHe thought they got arrested or somethingOct 14 23:12
jonoI will typically try and clarify that if that is the caseOct 14 23:12
jonoschestowitz wow, really?Oct 14 23:12
schestowitzMany readers mailed me and mailed him afterwards to clarifyOct 14 23:12
schestowitzAnd he wasn't posting cause he didn't have time, not cause of opposition reallyOct 14 23:13
schestowitzHe was offline for a WHOLE month at one pointOct 14 23:13
schestowitzI wish we had discussed this before, jonoOct 14 23:13
schestowitzAs that would prevent making the wrong impressionOct 14 23:13
jonoschestowitz discussed what?Oct 14 23:14
jonoshane?Oct 14 23:14
schestowitzFor instance, yes.Oct 14 23:14
schestowitzShane and I are in touch, but he's rarely on the WebOct 14 23:14
jonoahhh I seeOct 14 23:15
ajmI feel (as an outsider, not knowing anything about the project), that it didn't seem to have a negative slant (probably only because I trust jono bacon before you (schestowitz)), but obviously not by jono's design or plan. At the end though I feel like you schestowitz should of told people that they should look at the IRC or join the mailing list for a while to get a true sense of the project.Oct 14 23:15
schestowitzIn fact, after the DDOS attacks he lost interest in some of the mess cause we worked for days against the host to put the site back up, but it would fall over with the DDOSOct 14 23:15
schestowitzajm: the issues were covered with a slanted IMHOOct 14 23:15
schestowitzSuch as the given impression that the gripe is with developersOct 14 23:16
schestowitzThey follow orders mostlyOct 14 23:16
schestowitzIt's about the management levelOct 14 23:16
jonoschestowitz I don't think it was so much slanted, but sure I have an opinion, but it was important for me to give you a microphone to respondOct 14 23:16
jonoand you did respondOct 14 23:16
*Tallken has quit (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))Oct 14 23:16
schestowitzI did. I wasn't preparing anythingOct 14 23:16
schestowitzBut no hard feelings, I predicted it would be this wayOct 14 23:17
AlanBellwell it is late for me, but well done jono for the Paxman quality interviewing and well done schestowitz for being up for it, and your answers throughout.Oct 14 23:17
*ajm has quit ("Page closed")Oct 14 23:18
jonoschestowitz I am glad we can be friendsOct 14 23:18
