fewa	Microsoft out-bidding Apple http://www.istartedsomething.com/20091024/windows-branded-laptop-30-rock/	Oct 25 01:08
cubezzz	I think I remember dual cpu pentium pro but not 4 cpu	Oct 25 01:10
yuhong	Then Intel with the Pentium II segmented that into it's own Xeon series, limiting the ordinary version to two CPUs.	Oct 25 01:10
cubezzz	now it's time for multi-core ARM cpu :)	Oct 25 01:10
yuhong	Then Intel with the Pentium 4 go one step further and segment that into another Xeon series, again limiting the ordinary version to only one CPU.	Oct 25 01:11
fewa	cubezzz, yes im waiting	Oct 25 01:11
yuhong	Initially the Xeon series was called Pentium II/III Xeon.	Oct 25 01:11
fewa	freescale was suppose to have a arm netbook out this christmas	Oct 25 01:11
yuhong	Then with the P4 they called it Xeon DP/MP (DP for two, MP for four).	Oct 25 01:12
yuhong	Later they renamed DP to Xeon 5000 series, MP to Seon 7000 series.	Oct 25 01:12
yuhong	And then they added a one CPU version called Xeon 3000 series.	Oct 25 01:12
yuhong	I have an Abit BP6 motherboards that could run dual Celerons, even though Intel always officially limit that to one CPU.	Oct 25 01:13
fewa	AMD is better	Oct 25 01:14
yuhong	AMD? Well, Athlons had built-in SMP support from the beginning, but it was not until June 2001 that AMD released the 760MP chipset.	Oct 25 01:15
fewa	idk	Oct 25 01:15
fewa	i just have always used AMD	Oct 25 01:15
fewa	cheaper in the consumer market	Oct 25 01:15
fewa	and no VT bs	Oct 25 01:15
yuhong	When that were released, AMD decided to segment into Athlon XP/MP series.	Oct 25 01:15
cubezzz	always?	Oct 25 01:16
yuhong	Then with the Opteron, they decided to segment into 1xx/2xx/8xx series, the first digit indicate the max CPUs.	Oct 25 01:16

cubezzz	I think I remember AMD 386	Oct 25 01:18

schestowitz	"the limitations built into Microsoft’s development stack show it to be a dead end that will leave Microsoft marketing magnificent visions of its unfolding future while quietly figuring out how and when to abandon that code base for something else - and because that something could very logically be Linux it might be time for the Linux community to start paying a lot more attention to legacy interoperability with Windows."	Oct 25 01:20
yuhong	And lawsuits soon begin to erupt between Intel and AMD.	Oct 25 01:20
schestowitz	And that's from SCO/MicroTurf Murphy	Oct 25 01:20

_Goblin	my favorite Vista one was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbf9tOGwno	Oct 25 01:46
yuhong	I am not really an expert on how this part of 7 works.	Oct 25 01:46
fewa	yuhong, yeah i remember that one	Oct 25 01:46
fewa	vista one	Oct 25 01:46
fewa	vista hardware compatibility is atrocious	Oct 25 01:47
fewa	linux is better	Oct 25 01:47
yuhong	I know, I dug two hardware from garbage that did not have specific Vista drivers.	Oct 25 01:47
yuhong	One was a printer, but XP driver may have worked, did not try through.	Oct 25 01:48
yuhong	Another is a Handspring Visor, I tried the XP software on Vista and it did not work at all.	Oct 25 01:48
yuhong	And I know why, it relates to the timing of the Vista hardware detection, which is different from XP.	Oct 25 01:49
yuhong	To illustrate this difference, I suggest plugging a USB device into a Vista and XP computer that has no drivers, then initiate the driver search and installation using Found New Hardware on both, then unplug the device.	Oct 25 01:51
Xarver	yuhong: the last video shows him going into a Crack folder xD	Oct 25 01:51
fewa	then plug it into Linux	Oct 25 01:51
fewa	and...it...just...works	Oct 25 01:51
yuhong	Behavior of this is different between Vista and XP.	Oct 25 01:51
DaemonFC	fewa, I've never had a problem getting a device to work in Vista	Oct 25 01:51
yuhong	Vista will stop the driver installation, while XP won't.	Oct 25 01:52
DaemonFC	fewa, For the most part, you can use any WDM certified drivers on any Windows release between 2000-7	Oct 25 01:52
fewa	not for 64-bit	Oct 25 01:52
DaemonFC	the display driver model changed in Vista and again in 7 though	Oct 25 01:52
yuhong	And the version of HotSync on the old Palm Visor relied on the XP behavior.	Oct 25 01:52
DaemonFC	XP display drivers work in Vista or 7 but you are limited to DirectX 9 and no Aero	Oct 25 01:53
DaemonFC	fewa, You can use Vista and 7 64-bit drivers in XP x64	Oct 25 01:53
Xarver	schestowitz: I can't wait for Mandriva 2010 :)	Oct 25 01:53
DaemonFC	anyway, I've never had a problem	Oct 25 01:53
yuhong	In case you didn't see it, the Visor after a time-out automatically unplug the device.	Oct 25 01:53
DaemonFC	well, I take it back, Windows XP x64 wouldn't recognize my Sansa Fuze until I got the bright idea to just tell it it was an external hard drive :P	Oct 25 01:54
yuhong	But not the opposite because Vista x64 requires driver signing, while XP x64 did not.	Oct 25 01:54

yuhong	Of course now.	Oct 25 01:58

yuhong	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLzB_kzR_CI	Oct 25 02:00
yuhong	Looks like they were doing DRM cracking.	Oct 25 02:02
_Hicham_	DaemonFC is always cracking DRM	Oct 25 02:03
DaemonFC	_Hicham_, The "DRM" in Windows is pretty lame and easy to bypass	Oct 25 02:03
yuhong	And it ended up crashing.	Oct 25 02:03
DaemonFC	it would be like every player coming with a built in burner and a button to turn off all their DRM	Oct 25 02:03
DaemonFC	just having it always provides fuel for anti-Windows/anti-Microsoft people though	Oct 25 02:04
DaemonFC	even though Linux can't usually even play the discs at all	Oct 25 02:04
yuhong	Unlikely to be Windows's fault.	Oct 25 02:04
DaemonFC	much less rip or copy them	Oct 25 02:04
DaemonFC	if you do follow like this really convoluted how to guide on Ubuntu's website, which is still illegal, you might be able to play some of your discs	Oct 25 02:05
DaemonFC	it's not exactly a motivator to go out and buy nice fancy new hardware	Oct 25 02:05
yuhong	I know.	Oct 25 02:06

DaemonFC	when there's some way that I can play every Blu Ray movie on Linux, rip or duplicate any of them, etc., please wake me up	Oct 25 02:07
yuhong	Yep, that is part of my point.	Oct 25 02:07
DaemonFC	obviously I don't care if it's legal or not, the fact is that I can't do that now in any event	Oct 25 02:07
yuhong	"I am wondering if we should not blame the OS vendors for DRM "anti-features", blaming Hollywood instead for demanding them."	Oct 25 02:08
DaemonFC	I need a Windows PC or a Mac which supposedly have all this DRM there to stop me, to rip a movie disc that Linux is not technically able to play	Oct 25 02:08
DaemonFC	do you see the irony?	Oct 25 02:08
yuhong	"I mean, if Linux was to add support for Blu-Ray, these same DRM anti-features would be needed to be added to Linux as well."	Oct 25 02:08
DaemonFC	they can put a cork in the Windows 7 Sins thing til that isn't the case	Oct 25 02:08

DaemonFC	Windows or Mac DRM amount to a tenth of a hill of beans, a minor nuisance requiring you to find other software	Oct 25 02:09
DaemonFC	I don't even remember the last time I used Windows Media Player or IE other than to gawk at them or cause there was this one site in ten thousand that somehow messes up Firefox that I need to print something from	Oct 25 02:10
yuhong	And on protected processes, yep my favorite example is Mac OS X's PT_DENY_ATTACH being easily patched out because the source code for the kernel is available.	Oct 25 02:11
DaemonFC	yuhong, I only opened and used Windows Media Player 12, IE 8, etc. cause of morbid curiousity	Oct 25 02:11
DaemonFC	yuhong, Or how about getting it to boot on a PC cause most of the OS is open source	Oct 25 02:12
DaemonFC	:P	Oct 25 02:12
DaemonFC	there's some patched kernels out there that add proper AMD processor support and everything	Oct 25 02:12
yuhong	I know that too.	Oct 25 02:12
DaemonFC	it's pretty wicked what these community hack jobs have managed to do	Oct 25 02:13
yuhong	Apple initially did not even release the source code for the first 32-bit only Intel version of Mac OS X.	Oct 25 02:13
yuhong	Apple initially did not even release the source code for the kernel of the first 32-bit only Intel version of Mac OS X.	Oct 25 02:13
DaemonFC	I ran Snow Leopard on my old Core 2 Duo PC	Oct 25 02:13
DaemonFC	it's not awful, but I wouldn't see why I'd buy a $2,000 Mac to get it	Oct 25 02:14
DaemonFC	you have to get a $2,000 Mac to get hardware as good as you'll find on a $1,000 PC	Oct 25 02:14
yuhong	They only released xnu source after they added 64-bit Intel support with the Mac Pro.	Oct 25 02:14
DaemonFC	but the OS upgrades are only $30, let's just talk about that ;)	Oct 25 02:14
*_Goblin has quit ("Ex-Chat")		Oct 25 02:15
yuhong	Yep, after years of $130 Mac OS X upgrades, Apple priced Snow Leopard at only $30 for Leopard users.	Oct 25 02:15
DaemonFC	yuhong, Reminds me of when Microsoft had those $30 promo step-ups	Oct 25 02:15
DaemonFC	98 to 98SE or 98 to Me	Oct 25 02:15
Xarver	Funny it's less secure than 7. But since it has lower market share it's safe.	Oct 25 02:16

Mutex_	why are we still talking about vista and XP, they are history, or is it you have trouble finding fault with Win 7 ?	Oct 25 12:00
DavidGerard	vista is actually completely analogous to the Ford Edsel.	Oct 25 12:02
Mutex_	how so.	Oct 25 12:03
DavidGerard	windows 7 is an attempt to be analogous to the Ford Comet ...	Oct 25 12:03
DavidGerard	which was really a rebranded Edsel.	Oct 25 12:03
DavidGerard	read the wikipedia article on the Edsel.	Oct 25 12:03
DavidGerard	it was a hugely expensive research project, it underperformed in practice, it was too expensive, and consumers hated it.	Oct 25 12:03
DavidGerard	and the manufacturing quality was awful.	Oct 25 12:04
oiaohm	Win 7 issue start off with some basics too power hungery. Take too long to boot. And don't run on the full range of hardware out there.	Oct 25 12:04
Mutex_	so what has that go to do with Win 7 >?	Oct 25 12:04
DavidGerard	it was the same sort of corporate hubris.	Oct 25 12:04
DavidGerard	ford's attempt to get out of it was to rebrand the 1960 Ford Edsel Comet as just the Ford Comet.	Oct 25 12:04
DavidGerard	it was really an Edsel	Oct 25 12:04
oiaohm	We are basically at the end of the Wintel age Mutex_	Oct 25 12:04
DavidGerard	but they made it look like the other Fords	Oct 25 12:04
DavidGerard	and the marketing worked. the comet was a huge hit.	Oct 25 12:04
Mutex_	ok, so based on your "argument" I have an IQ question for you.	Oct 25 12:05
DavidGerard	even though it was an edsel under the skin.	Oct 25 12:05
schestowitz	DavidGerard: that burger doesn't look the same in reality (As in the commercials	Oct 25 12:05
Mutex_	Vista is to Win 7, as Linux is to ???	Oct 25 12:05
DavidGerard	Mutex_: linux in five years.	Oct 25 12:05
Mutex_	so "vista is to Win 7 as Linux is to Linux in 5 years " ???? !!!	Oct 25 12:06
DavidGerard	or any two LTS versions of Ubuntu.	Oct 25 12:06
DavidGerard	the same thing but improved.	Oct 25 12:06
oiaohm	Mutex_: what is more dominate in market uptake phones or pc's Mutex_	Oct 25 12:06
DavidGerard	linux distros improve on a much faster timescale than windows	Oct 25 12:06
schestowitz	DavidGerard: just FYI, Mutex_ hangs out here to hackele and troll	Oct 25 12:06
oiaohm	Then you wake up phone makers and pc makers are crossing turf at moment.	Oct 25 12:06
Mutex_	But linux has been around for what 18 years now,	Oct 25 12:07
oiaohm	Phone makers are inching into the netbook market.	Oct 25 12:07
Mutex_	Roy, I hang out here to see what claims your making at any time, so how would you answer that simple IQ question Roy ?	Oct 25 12:07
oiaohm	And how many years has x.org had funded developers Mutex_	Oct 25 12:07
oiaohm	4 years.	Oct 25 12:07
Mutex_	so	Oct 25 12:08
oiaohm	So basically for 14 years no gave a crap about graphical usage..	Oct 25 12:08
oiaohm	It was nothing more than something for fun.	Oct 25 12:08
DavidGerard	oiaohm: basically. xfree86 worked well enough.	Oct 25 12:08
Mutex_	So Roy, A question ... Vista is to Win 7 as Linux is to ?????	Oct 25 12:08
DavidGerard	however, suse was employing keith packard to work on xfree86 through the late 1990s.	Oct 25 12:08
DavidGerard	it was the early 2000s that xfree86's cathedralism became a really big problem.	Oct 25 12:09
oiaohm	DavidGerard: keith had to split time.	Oct 25 12:09
DavidGerard	leading to the xorg breakaway.	Oct 25 12:09
DavidGerard	yeah but	Oct 25 12:09
DavidGerard	since the late 1980s, the centre of x development has been wherever keithp is.	Oct 25 12:09

oiaohm	Last 4 years we have more than 1 developer paid on X11 DavidGerard	Oct 25 12:10
DavidGerard	schestowitz: nevertheless my answer is accurate ;-)	Oct 25 12:10
DavidGerard	oiaohm: yes indeed. it was xorg that started it to the dizzying heights of trying to drag it kicking and screaming out of the 1990s.	Oct 25 12:10
oiaohm	One of the big shocks is Nvidia stating to openly offer x.org patches.	Oct 25 12:10
Mutex_	Hmmm no reply Roy,, fair enough,,, Nuff said I guess. your silence kind of says it all.. IMO	Oct 25 12:11
DavidGerard	oiaohm: i suspect because nouveau is no longer marked "here be dragons, devs only" but is actually marginally usable.	Oct 25 12:11
oiaohm	Mutex_: You are asking to future.	Oct 25 12:11
DavidGerard	and because amd/ati is taking its open source drivers seriously.	Oct 25 12:12
Mutex_	"you are asking to future"... Hmmmm,	Oct 25 12:12
oiaohm	Ie windows 7 is many years latter than Vista.	Oct 25 12:12
oiaohm	So since Linux is kinda a timeless maker how can we give a valid answer Mutex_	Oct 25 12:12
Mutex_	ok perhaps you might like to answer that simple IQ question, that Roy does not seem to want to address.	Oct 25 12:12
DavidGerard	oiaohm: i think watching the likely evolution of linux is reasonable.	Oct 25 12:13
Mutex_	A question ... Vista is to Win 7 as Linux is to ?????	Oct 25 12:13
DavidGerard	Mutex_: no, he doesn't want to address you. there's a difference.	Oct 25 12:13
DavidGerard	i answered the question. do you have a correct answer in mind?	Oct 25 12:13
Mutex_	does not want too, or cannot, all the same to me.	Oct 25 12:13
oiaohm	Why answer a question that is not a valid question Mutex_	Oct 25 12:13
DavidGerard	if it's an iq test it has a right answer.	Oct 25 12:13
DavidGerard	it's all the same to you because of registry corruption.	Oct 25 12:13
Mutex_	well can anyone else, mabey one of Roy's guard Dogs will stick up for him.	Oct 25 12:13
oiaohm	You could even answer it stupidly.,	Oct 25 12:13
oiaohm	Since Linux is timeless.	Oct 25 12:14
DavidGerard	i uderstand there are products from flashing ad banners that promise to fix that	Oct 25 12:14
DavidGerard	and they'll even in stall a free antivirus, apparently.	Oct 25 12:14
oiaohm	Linux is to Linux would be a valid answer Mutex_	Oct 25 12:14
DavidGerard	you appear to have installed several of these in your brain.	Oct 25 12:14
Mutex_	ok, so from this I understand no one here can answer my VERY SIMPLE QUESTION.. Nuff said.	Oct 25 12:14
oiaohm	Its like asking Windows is to ...	Oct 25 12:14
DavidGerard	Mutex_: i did answer it.	Oct 25 12:14
DavidGerard	what is the answer you had in mind, mutex?	Oct 25 12:14
oiaohm	Then answer Windows is to ....	Oct 25 12:14
DavidGerard	did you have an answer in mind?	Oct 25 12:14
oiaohm	Same question asking for a time compare to a item that is timeless Mutex_	Oct 25 12:15
Mutex_	funny David I dont see your answer in the log.	Oct 25 12:15
DavidGerard	Mutex_: you even questioned my answer.	Oct 25 12:15
DavidGerard	<DavidGerard> Mutex_: linux in five years.	Oct 25 12:15
Mutex_	ok, So I can safely assume that no one here is willing to answer that simple question, and expecially Roy.	Oct 25 12:15

Mutex_	sure you can, it's a simple question, why are you having so much trouble with it ?	Oct 25 12:19

oiaohm	If you did not want to apply a time context you should not have used past and future forms of the same thing.	Oct 25 12:22
DavidGerard	kickbanning is appropriate for attempts at prion-like suffocation of conversation with deliberate stupidity	Oct 25 12:23

schestowitz	Does Freda use ubuntu? Tuxpaint?	Oct 25 12:42
oiaohm	Simple problem here you asked a question with too many valid answers because of lack of understanding of the question you asked Mutex_	Oct 25 12:42
Mutex_	so Vista is to Win 7 as Linux is to Linux...... great :)	Oct 25 12:42
oiaohm	Linux is to Linux in 5 years time is also a valid answer.	Oct 25 12:42
oiaohm	Since Linux in 5 years time is still a future form Mutex_	Oct 25 12:42
DavidGerard	schestowitz: not yet	Oct 25 12:43

Mutex_	yes, I know you did, so you are saying Vista is to Linux (today) and Win 7 in Linux (in 5 years), do you understand how these types are questions work ?	Oct 25 12:45
DavidGerard	very excited to be able to make a spoon spin round	Oct 25 12:45

Mutex_	Vista is to Win 7 as Linux is to Linux.	Oct 25 12:48
Mutex_	so there, ive answered it for you, it's sad you could not do that yourself.	Oct 25 12:49
oiaohm	You rewrite " know you did, so you are saying Vista is to Linux (today) and Win 7 in Linux (in 5 years)"	Oct 25 12:49
Mutex_	no thats what David said...	Oct 25 12:49
oiaohm	egg is pup and bird is in dog	Oct 25 12:49
Mutex_	I did not say that. i commented on it	Oct 25 12:49
oiaohm	Yes complextly stupid.	Oct 25 12:50
oiaohm	completely stupid.	Oct 25 12:50
Mutex_	sure oiaohm, you dont too well in IQ tests ??? I wonder, (not accusing).	Oct 25 12:50
oiaohm	LOL Mutex_	Oct 25 12:50
oiaohm	I do very well in the logic side.	Oct 25 12:51

schestowitz	I see...	Oct 25 12:53
schestowitz	Well, it's nice that there is loosers desktop integration with video now	Oct 25 12:54
Mutex_	no mine is a standard for of question used in IQ testing to assess people ability to group and think laterally	Oct 25 12:54
oiaohm	Invalid interlinked context Mutex_ by the rules of english because the results are stupid.	Oct 25 12:54
schestowitz	Back in the days playing videos was a breaking point for Linux	Oct 25 12:54
schestowitz	Now I watch HD videos over the network	Oct 25 12:54
Mutex_	for which you appear to have some difficulity.	Oct 25 12:54
Mutex_	thats why I asked if you had done many IQ tests ever.	Oct 25 12:54
Mutex_	It's a very very common form of question.	Oct 25 12:54
oiaohm	To be correct Mutex_ written invilad english to test laterally thinking is only found on USA created IQ tests.	Oct 25 12:54
schestowitz	[12:44] <DavidGerard> right now she's playing iwth a spoon, spinning it round and round	Oct 25 12:55
schestowitz	As long as it's not Uri Geller-like mumbo jumbo :-)	Oct 25 12:55
Mutex_	im not in the US oiaohm, im in the same country as you	Oct 25 12:55
oiaohm	Most IQ tests done in australia are from USA ones Mutex_	Oct 25 12:55
oiaohm	So you are not aware that a common question is truly invalid.	Oct 25 12:56
Mutex_	so it's still a standard form of question, and BTW there is nothing wrong with the english or structure of the question.	Oct 25 12:56
Mutex_	on that point you are just plain wrong	Oct 25 12:56

Mutex_	there actually is, or at least a very limited set of correct answers,	Oct 25 12:59
oiaohm	Its a commonly overlooked error in tests.	Oct 25 12:59
Mutex_	what is ?	Oct 25 13:00
oiaohm	Linux + time of any possitve value would been correct to your question .	Oct 25 13:00
schestowitz	Heh. From TC: "But Mike…Americans really do eat too much. I’m American, I eat too much. I dunno about the disgusting, because it all taste really freaking good."	Oct 25 13:00
oiaohm	But Linux is to Linux is incorrect any reason why Mutex_	Oct 25 13:00
oiaohm	Even that USA linked ones where the error first appeared.	Oct 25 13:00
oiaohm	Because both would be the same time Mutex_	Oct 25 13:01
oiaohm	And the example gives a time difference.	Oct 25 13:01
Mutex_	allright Ill refrase the question with typical BN bias, "Vista is to 'Vista 7' as Linux is too ?????	Oct 25 13:01
oiaohm	Same Vista 7 applies a future time.	Oct 25 13:02
oiaohm	You changed nothing about the question .	Oct 25 13:02
Mutex_	ok fair enough, that that means you are comparing Linux today with Vista, and Linux in the future to Win 7, but thats a fair answer, I can accept that.... Thanks :)	Oct 25 13:02
DaemonFC	schestowitz, My neighbor, who cleans my mom's house, comes over and knocks on the door. Glad I didn't open it now, cause she told me through the door later in the conversation she has the flu	Oct 25 13:03

Mutex_	No "takebacksys"	Oct 25 13:03
DaemonFC	I told her not to come in or go into my mom's house ten called my mom, she was like "Are you SURE it's the flu?"	Oct 25 13:03
DaemonFC	I was like "Gee, I don't know, should I open the door and find out?"	Oct 25 13:03
oiaohm	Swap Linux today with egg, Vista with pup, Linux future with bird and Windows 7 with dog and tell me if you have a sane line Mutex_	Oct 25 13:04
oiaohm	All are equally releated nowns Mutex_	Oct 25 13:04

oiaohm	Or are you too dumb to be able to ask a correct question to get the answers you want Mutex_	Oct 25 13:07

DaemonFC	good luck with that	Oct 25 13:08
Mutex_	it did, im sorry you have trouble with it, it is after all an IQ question, it sad you have to resort to attacking the question as opposed to simply answering it,,, but I understand the real answer does not suit the "facts" espoused here.	Oct 25 13:08

oiaohm	Best test of a english question to confirm how valid it is. Takes swaping the nowns out.	Oct 25 13:15
oiaohm	Now if answers remain sane context you are taking is sane.	Oct 25 13:15
oiaohm	If answers go insane you have bad context.	Oct 25 13:15
Mutex_	you can be as critical as you like about the question, but it's not that hard , and its a common method of assessing your IQ. Do you always question the question if you dont understand it. as opposed to trying to just answer it ?	Oct 25 13:15
Mutex_	mabye ioaohm, you are not the best one to debate this subject.	Oct 25 13:16
oiaohm	Problem was I understood the question	Oct 25 13:17
oiaohm	Exactly what classes of answers it could take.	Oct 25 13:17
Mutex_	really,,, !!!! ok,, then why are you having so much troublewith it ?	Oct 25 13:17
oiaohm	No I am having trouble with you building context out of it that don't exist.	Oct 25 13:18
oiaohm	And that is poor understanding of english.	Oct 25 13:18

Mutex_	lets call a spade a spade.	Oct 25 13:28
DaemonFC	it would be more appropriate to have called it a UNIX workalike or proabably moreso a POSIX compliant system	Oct 25 13:28

oiaohm	So why does windows 7 product id code return windows 6.1 then Mutex_	Oct 25 13:30
Mutex_	so in that case we have Linux 1 and Linux 2 I take it.	Oct 25 13:31
oiaohm	Yet Windows 4.0 returns Windows 4.0 as product id code.	Oct 25 13:31
DaemonFC	oiaohm, according to Microsoft, they broke a lot of applications when they gave Vista the 6.0 version number	Oct 25 13:31
DaemonFC	so they gave Windows 7 version 6.1	Oct 25 13:31
oiaohm	Linux does have version numbers Mutex_	Oct 25 13:31
oiaohm	Kernel version numbers Mutex_	Oct 25 13:31

Mutex_	I know,	Oct 25 13:31
Mutex_	thats why I asked my original questions.	Oct 25 13:31
cubezzz	well, I seem to remember seeing 2.4 and 2.6 a lot	Oct 25 13:31
Mutex_	thats right so thats Linux 2	Oct 25 13:32
DaemonFC	a lot of aplication developers, or at least enough to be an annoyance, hard code the program to look for a certain major version number	Oct 25 13:32

oiaohm	Distributions say linux 2.4 and linux 2.6 a lot	Oct 25 13:32
oiaohm	Linux version numbers are 3 key numbers Mutex_	Oct 25 13:32

Mutex_	so,, we have a list of Linux versionstoo.. you're point ?	Oct 25 13:33
oiaohm	Where is the 7.0 version number Mutex_	Oct 25 13:34
oiaohm	It don't exist Mutex_	Oct 25 13:34
Mutex_	what ?? for windows or Linux ??	Oct 25 13:34
oiaohm	For windows Mutex_	Oct 25 13:34
DaemonFC	schestowitz, Windows 2000 was NT 5.0, XP was 5.1	Oct 25 13:34
DaemonFC	I see about the same difference between Vista and 7	Oct 25 13:34
DaemonFC	it's a minor release with a number of important changes	Oct 25 13:35
DaemonFC	not a whole new major version though	Oct 25 13:35
Mutex_	I am simply saying windows OS's have different versions, that ARE DIFFERENT VERSION, and Linux has different versions that ARE DIFFERENT VERSIONS too.	Oct 25 13:35

Mutex_	for what again ?	Oct 25 13:36
schestowitz	DaemonFC: thanks	Oct 25 13:36
cubezzz	different distro numbering, that's all it is	Oct 25 13:36
oiaohm	You cannot put Linux with a version number that does not own to Linux kernel.	Oct 25 13:37
Mutex_	thankyou cubezzz,, dead right.	Oct 25 13:37
oiaohm	You must declare full distribution name.	Oct 25 13:37
DaemonFC	schestowitz, Microsoft has always had a friendly marketing name and an NT version number that was hidden a lot deeper	Oct 25 13:37
oiaohm	You are aware RH 7.1 runs on solarias without Linux kernel Mutex_	Oct 25 13:37
Mutex_	but it ok to call Win 7 "vista 7" so you can try to attach some perceived negative conotation from Vista.	Oct 25 13:37
Mutex_	we all know why you do it, but most find it kinda purile.	Oct 25 13:38
oiaohm	Mutex_: Ms did the link first.	Oct 25 13:38
DaemonFC	2000 = NT 5, XP = 5.1, 2003/XP x64 = 5.2, Vista/Server 2008 = 6.0, Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 = 6.1	Oct 25 13:38
oiaohm	Vista 7 is just nicer than Vista #2 Mutex_	Oct 25 13:38
Mutex_	ok, the "he did it first " argument.. L(OL	Oct 25 13:38
DaemonFC	Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs was also NT 5.1 oddly enough, even though it was out in 2005 (after NT 5.2 was out), and used the WIM setup format from Vista	Oct 25 13:39
oiaohm	Note NT 4.0 before 2000 set kernel matching release number Mutex_	Oct 25 13:39
DaemonFC	I have a copy of that	Oct 25 13:39
Mutex_	oiaohm, whats you're point again ?	Oct 25 13:40
cubezzz	btw, what does Sun call the kernel in Solaris?	Oct 25 13:40
DaemonFC	oiaohm, NT 4 was a ain in the ass, not even worth using	Oct 25 13:40
oiaohm	You cannot set one rule then decide to change it latter and not expect people to pick on you for it Mutex_	Oct 25 13:40
DaemonFC	I didn't go NT until Windows 2000	Oct 25 13:40
DaemonFC	*pain	Oct 25 13:40
Mutex_	oiaohm, whats you're point again ?	Oct 25 13:40
oiaohm	Ms has 3 major release tags.	Oct 25 13:41
oiaohm	Version of Kernel.	Oct 25 13:41
oiaohm	year of release	Oct 25 13:41
oiaohm	and some made up name.	Oct 25 13:41
DaemonFC	NT 4 had no support for hardware accelerated DirectX, Plug & Play was off by default, no USB support at all, it's own driver model, and no compatibility shims if a Windows 9x app wouldn't work	Oct 25 13:41
DaemonFC	NT 4 was totally unfit for home use, Windows 2000 changed that	Oct 25 13:41
oiaohm	Now MS wants to add a forth with Windows 7 Mutex_	Oct 25 13:41
*Diablo-D3 has quit ("do coders dream of sheep()?")		Oct 25 13:41
Mutex_	it's clear you call it vista 7 so you can try to attach some negative conotation with Vista, thats why you do it, so why not just admit it and be done with it ??	Oct 25 13:42
Mutex_	be honest.. for once	Oct 25 13:42
oiaohm	Mutex_: do I normally use vista 7 in here.	Oct 25 13:42
oiaohm	I normally use windows 7.	Oct 25 13:42
Mutex_	um,,, ALOT do..	Oct 25 13:42
oiaohm	But vista 7 is shorter.	Oct 25 13:42
Mutex_	vista 7 is shorter than Win7 Hmmm.	Oct 25 13:43
oiaohm	And Ms called it vista #2 in there adveristing.	Oct 25 13:43
Mutex_	it's funny old world :)	Oct 25 13:43
Mutex_	oh, again with the "he did it first" argument LOL	Oct 25 13:43
DaemonFC	I got a craving for biscuits and gravy, crispy bacon on the side, and a black coffee	Oct 25 13:43
oiaohm	Win 7 could be a confusing problem in future as well.	Oct 25 13:43
Mutex_	C'mon be honest with yourself, and us.. we know why you do it,,, just admit it	Oct 25 13:43
oiaohm	Particually if MS does release a 7.0 kernel Mutex_	Oct 25 13:44
DaemonFC	oiaohm, You mean when they do call something NT 7.0?	Oct 25 13:44
DaemonFC	yeah	Oct 25 13:44

Mutex_	sure it is..	Oct 25 13:44
DaemonFC	oiaohm, They said Windows 8 would come in about 3 more years	Oct 25 13:44
Mutex_	any more excuses ???	Oct 25 13:44
DaemonFC	I say they'll call it NT 6.2	Oct 25 13:44
cubezzz	what does MIcrosoft call it internally?	Oct 25 13:45
cubezzz	just wondering	Oct 25 13:45
oiaohm	NT 6.1 cubezzz	Oct 25 13:45
oiaohm	Or the mountain code name.	Oct 25 13:45
Eruaran	greetings to all	Oct 25 13:45
DaemonFC	they tried a long 5 year cycle with all their addon teams latching onto the OS, that turned into Vista	Oct 25 13:46
DaemonFC	I don't think we'll see them do that again	Oct 25 13:46
oiaohm	Mutex_: How long do schestowitz documents go back. Long enough that it could run into the issue in future. schestowitz cannot call it NT 6.1 workstation because most user would not link that up as Windows 7.	Oct 25 13:47
Mutex_	so what, if they are truthfull and accurate it does not matter, if they are untrue and inaccurate then you have a problem.	Oct 25 13:48
oiaohm	If you have duplicate indexing you also have problems Mutex_	Oct 25 13:48
Mutex_	so you call it "Vista 7 " because that is more clear to everyone than calling it Win 7. Like the REST OF THE WORLD DOES>	Oct 25 13:49
Mutex_	nice logic... you program much do you :)	Oct 25 13:49
oiaohm	So they deal with the furture indexing problems.	Oct 25 13:49
oiaohm	Or is MS going to stay with NT 6.x for ever.	Oct 25 13:50
oiaohm	Or is the NT line dead?	Oct 25 13:50
Mutex_	by confusing the issue now, you expect to make it clear in the future, again we all know why you call it Vista 7 to connect it to Vista, you do it to connect Win 7 with the initial problems with Vista and yet you cant bring yourselves to admit the truth about why you use the term.. when it's clear for all to see.	Oct 25 13:50
oiaohm	is not NT 6.0 not connected to NT 6.1 ?	Oct 25 13:51
Mutex_	comeing up with some clap trap about future protection is well,, what do you think it is ?	Oct 25 13:51
Eruaran	Just like the Apple ad... Windows 7 is out and you won't have any of the problems you had with the previous version of Windows... "trust me".	Oct 25 13:52
oiaohm	You are aware that XP 64 bit is .1 larger than XP Mutex_	Oct 25 13:53
Mutex_	what ?	Oct 25 13:53
oiaohm	Windows 7 is just .1 larger than Vista.	Oct 25 13:54
oiaohm	XP is 5.1 XP 64 bit is 5.2 Mutex_	Oct 25 13:54
DavidGerard	Windows $NEXT_VERSION will floor all comers	Oct 25 13:54
Mutex_	sorry oiaohm, if I were you I would give up while your behind, you're a touch out of your depth here IMO.	Oct 25 13:54
DavidGerard	I am so excited about $NEXT_VERSION of Windows. It will go beyond just solving all of the problems with $CURRENT_VERSION, it will be an entirely new paradigm.	Oct 25 13:55
fewa	by definition	Oct 25 13:55
oiaohm	Mutex_: there are a lot of reason why its valid to call Windows 7 Vista 7.	Oct 25 13:55
DavidGerard	Forget about security problems, those are all fixed in $NEXT_VERSION.	Oct 25 13:55
fewa	it will have $DATABASE_FILESYSTEM	Oct 25 13:55
DavidGerard	And they’re finally ridding themselves of $ANCIENT_LEGACY_STUFF.	Oct 25 13:55
Mutex_	like what, apart from trying to tie it to Vista's initial problems.	Oct 25 13:55
DavidGerard	Also, there’ll be $DATABASE_FILESYSTEM. It’ll be awesome!	Oct 25 13:56
DavidGerard	... I wonder how $NEXT_VERSION will compare to $NEXT_NEXT_VERSION.	Oct 25 13:56
zer0c00l	DavidGerard: lol	Oct 25 13:56
oiaohm	Also thinking that Vista and Windows 7 suffer from most of the same secruit flaws when they happen as well Mutex_	Oct 25 13:56
Mutex_	again, we all know why you call it Vista 7 just admit it, please, and we can all forget about it.. but this "denial" is just a joke.	Oct 25 13:56
DavidGerard	for your amusement: here's a version put through google translate and back by a web spammer: http://windows.myloger.com/2009/04/19/windows-next_version-miss-elaneous-musings/	Oct 25 13:56

Mutex_	and you know that HOW oiaohm ??? you dont,, you like to call it Vista 7 because it suits your brand of hatred for it... and you want to attach it to Vista.... just admit it.... FFS	Oct 25 13:58
oiaohm	Number 1 backups to server that merges files between machines Mutex_	Oct 25 13:58
Mutex_	and whats "in common" between Linux and Linux ???	Oct 25 13:58
oiaohm	So all that is left is the differences between files.	Oct 25 13:59
fewa	DavidGerard, Vista should be $CURRENT_VERSION	Oct 25 13:59
Mutex_	still cant admit it can you,,,, just cant form the words...	Oct 25 13:59
oiaohm	Between Linux versions the binaries normally don't merge. Mutex_	Oct 25 13:59
*cubezzz notes no one is saying GNU/Linux :)		Oct 25 13:59
oiaohm	Different compliers and built versions. No merge happens Mutex_	Oct 25 13:59

DavidGerard	http://supersizedmeals.com/food/article.php/20060125050438458	Oct 25 14:01
DavidGerard	(that's actually a 100-patty burger, but you'll lose count as well as your stomach before you get there)	Oct 25 14:02
oiaohm	MS people insult Linux cannot do X without including versions. When talking about Linux kernels you talk about Linux 2.4 or 2.6 depending on what you are doing Mutex_	Oct 25 14:02
cubezzz	hahaha, gross	Oct 25 14:02
Mutex_	so,	Oct 25 14:02
fewa	ughhhh DavidGerard , thats gross	Oct 25 14:02
oiaohm	Then when you are talking about if distributions can do something you call it that.	Oct 25 14:02
oiaohm	You are aware LSB distrobution id system returns what distribution and distributions version you are using. Mutex_	Oct 25 14:03
oiaohm	Independant to Linux kernel Mutex_	Oct 25 14:03
Mutex_	oiaohm, just admit why you really use the term Vista 7 and be done with it.. .we all know why,, but would like to hear it from YOU...	Oct 25 14:03
oiaohm	Particular important that lot of Linux distribitons also can use solarias or freebsd as kernel.	Oct 25 14:03
Mutex_	trying to defend the indefensible is sad. to say the least	Oct 25 14:03

zer0c00l	lol	Oct 25 14:05
oiaohm	The problem I don't see there call as wrong. After doing a binary compare Mutex_.	Oct 25 14:05
oiaohm	Because both OS are going to suffer from identical problems.	Oct 25 14:06
Mutex_	sure, you're a programming guru, who can analyse the very function of an operating system by comparing binaries	Oct 25 14:06
Mutex_	wow, you must be amazing !!!!	Oct 25 14:06
oiaohm	If they are the same they are the same.	Oct 25 14:06
oiaohm	You don't need to be a programming guru to work that out.	Oct 25 14:06
oiaohm	two idencical parts in two different OS's provide the same flaw area that simple.	Oct 25 14:07
Mutex_	but they are not the same, and im sure even you can work that out.... geezzz, again why cant you just admit that you call it Vista7 because you hope to attach the negative release of Vista with Win7... thats the REAL reason right,,,, so just admit it....	Oct 25 14:07
oiaohm	Have you done the compare of core parts Mutex_	Oct 25 14:08
Mutex_	do you actually have Win 7 and Vista installed on any of your machines oiaohm, or are you just making this up.	Oct 25 14:08
Mutex_	I dont need to do anything to know Win 7 is NOT Vista... simple as that,, it's called WIN 7 not freaking Vista 7... and you know it, and you use Vista7 for your own purile ends.... fair enough.. . all that needs to be said on the matter. IMO	Oct 25 14:09
oiaohm	None of my personal. Just a work network got one connected to a network with automatic client backups. That only keep 1 copy of files accross all the machines it backing up including core files.	Oct 25 14:10
wallc	Mutex, maybe they should both just be called "Mojave"? :)	Oct 25 14:10
oiaohm	It clearly showed very few files different Mutex_	Oct 25 14:10

Mutex_	ok and based on that you make all sorts of amazing assumptions,,, I use Win 7 and vista and they are NOT the same, NO WAY KNOWS. and you know it,, and most people here know it...	Oct 25 14:11
fewa	maybe you could go work on making it better, instead of just pretending	Oct 25 14:11

oiaohm	Same applies to Linux distributions releation ships.	Oct 25 14:12

oiaohm	yet they fell 100 percent different to use Mutex_	Oct 25 14:15
oiaohm	Windows 7 lot of alterations are the same kind of windows dressing.	Oct 25 14:16
Mutex_	oh my you can configure an OS so it's not different to any other OS.	Oct 25 14:16
Mutex_	so I can say Winodws XP is just like Linux then right because I can configure both to look different..	Oct 25 14:16
Mutex_	sorry, ,im not buying it..	Oct 25 14:16

Mutex_	thats what you said...	Oct 25 14:17

wallc	I remember when Vista (didn't they call it Longhorn in development?) was in process. MS said it was all going to be different, and it took them, what, five years to finish Vista? But Mojave/7 just sort of jumped out the door fully grown...hmmmm	Oct 25 14:21
Mutex_	so we can call every version of Linux Ubuntu ??? is that ok with you /	Oct 25 14:21
Mutex_	>??	Oct 25 14:21
Mutex_	or every version of Linux SUSE ??	Oct 25 14:21
oiaohm	If they are ubuntu based yes Mutex_ and I am fine with that.	Oct 25 14:21
Mutex_	you fine with that ??	Oct 25 14:21
ThistleWeb	wallc: it's in any business'es interests to tell you whatver they think they have to, to get you to open your wallet for little new benefit	Oct 25 14:21
Mutex_	whenever we refer to linux we should say SUSE instead	Oct 25 14:22
oiaohm	If they are SUSE based I would be fine as well Mutex_	Oct 25 14:22
Mutex_	ok, im fine with that.	Oct 25 14:22
ThistleWeb	they only care that you buy the new version	Oct 25 14:22
oiaohm	No because not all are SUSE base Mutex_	Oct 25 14:22
ThistleWeb	not how you feel about it, or if it is value for money for you	Oct 25 14:22
Mutex_	they are all Linux kernal based, so they are the same thing right ?>?	Oct 25 14:22
oiaohm	If talking about a set SUSE based no problems Mutex_	Oct 25 14:22
Mutex_	thats your argument.	Oct 25 14:22
oiaohm	No it is not Mutex_	Oct 25 14:23
ThistleWeb	as long as they convince you enough not to return it as a fraud it's all good	Oct 25 14:23
oiaohm	Most of the services and kernel are identical Mutex_	Oct 25 14:23
Mutex_	well why did you say it then ??	Oct 25 14:23
oiaohm	In windows 7	Oct 25 14:23
willimm	Acualy, there are a few major groups of Linux distros. There are the Debian based ones, of which Ubuntu and it's deravitaves are based on, and RPM based distros, which include Fedora and it's deratives, and OpenSUSE, Slackware and Slackware based, and Sourced baced.	Oct 25 14:23
oiaohm	and vista	Oct 25 14:23
Mutex_	if you can have different versions of Linux with the same core linux you can have different versions of windows, with different kernels in it.... as they do..	Oct 25 14:23
oiaohm	Very much like the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu that do get called the same for secuirty tracking Mutex_	Oct 25 14:23
Mutex_	you're digging yourself deeper and deeper into a hole here. give up while you're behind.	Oct 25 14:24
oiaohm	Mutex_: you are wanting to skip the fact they are highly the same.	Oct 25 14:24
oiaohm	Just because something has a Linux kernel does not mean anything above that is releated.	Oct 25 14:24
Mutex_	you are wanting to ignore the fact that SUSE is Linux and Ubuntu is Linux, and Debian is Linux,, but they are all different right or wrong...	Oct 25 14:25
oiaohm	Like android and ubuntu nothing at all in common in the userspace. yet both can have the same version kernel number.	Oct 25 14:25
Mutex_	where do you stand on this... make yourself clear.	Oct 25 14:25
schestowitz	Bulgaria Cabinet Short of Cash to Pay for Microsoft Deal http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=109045	Oct 25 14:25

Mutex_	sorry, oiaohm, I tire of this circular argument, you have no point to get across..	Oct 25 14:26
oiaohm	It the level of commonality is far higher than just linux kernel that is shared between distributions.	Oct 25 14:26
oiaohm	that vista and windows 7 has.	Oct 25 14:26
oiaohm	If you wanted the same as linux kernel in Linux distributions have in commonality you could say everything from NT 3.0 to NT 6.1 are the same Mutex_	Oct 25 14:27
oiaohm	Yes they are that wildly different at the Linux kernel level. Due to different kernel options.	Oct 25 14:28
wallc	oiaohm, did mutex ever explain why he thinks Vista and Seven are different?	Oct 25 14:33
-BNc/#boycottnovell-[popey] What happens on #oggcamp, stays on #oggcamp!		Oct 25 14:34
oiaohm	No he did not wallc	Oct 25 14:34
Mutex_	HAAH,, how's your r	Oct 25 14:34
wallc	That's what I thought.	Oct 25 14:34
Mutex_	"reading and comprehension"..	Oct 25 14:34
wallc	How's yours?	Oct 25 14:35
Mutex_	so by your logic, Ubuntu and SUSE are the same, so we should call Linux "SUSE" then...	Oct 25 14:35
oiaohm	No I did not say that. Mutex_	Oct 25 14:35
Mutex_	better than most here by the looks :)	Oct 25 14:35
Mutex_	yes, you did...	Oct 25 14:35
oiaohm	Ubuntu and SUSE use two different kernels.	Oct 25 14:35
Mutex_	so how your SUSE going on your machine ???	Oct 25 14:35
Mutex_	or should it be SUSE 2	Oct 25 14:35
oiaohm	So you say that ever version from windows 3.0 to windows 7.0 are the same Mutex_	Oct 25 14:36
Mutex_	no i dont, I say they are all different... keep digging,, (but DIG UP)	Oct 25 14:36
oiaohm	Because that is what you are trying to claim Mutex_	Oct 25 14:36
oiaohm	The difference between SUSE and Ubuntu is that huge.	Oct 25 14:36
Mutex_	no im saying they are different and you should not call them the same.	Oct 25 14:36
oiaohm	Windows 7 and Vista are about the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu Mutex_	Oct 25 14:37
Mutex_	you try to twist it around, but you lost this argument hours ago, all your doing now is entrenching your losing position... but thats your right, you are free to do that.	Oct 25 14:37
oiaohm	Same basic kernel few tweeks.	Oct 25 14:37
oiaohm	Same basic services	Oct 25 14:37
oiaohm	Just few more or a few less running.	Oct 25 14:37
Mutex_	ok, and that does not apply to the Linux world oiaohm ??	Oct 25 14:37
oiaohm	Different graphical.	Oct 25 14:37
Mutex_	youre now arguing MY case,,, LOL,, thanks for that.	Oct 25 14:38
oiaohm	Particular zones of the Linux world it applies.	Oct 25 14:38
oiaohm	and its critical to know for secuirty reasons.	Oct 25 14:38
oiaohm	Ie ubuntu gets a flaw suspect kubuntu machines and releation of having it.	Oct 25 14:38
oiaohm	You might as well call the ubuntu.	Oct 25 14:38
oiaohm	the/them	Oct 25 14:39
Mutex_	give it up,,, you lost, but thats ok,, just dont make it worse.	Oct 25 14:39
oiaohm	Vista and Windows 7 are basically blood releations.	Oct 25 14:39
oiaohm	Very little difference between them.	Oct 25 14:39
oiaohm	Yet look different.	Oct 25 14:39
oiaohm	XP would be a distance cousin.	Oct 25 14:40

Mutex_	small areas like THE VIDEO DRIVER LOL	Oct 25 14:50

wallc	mutex, what, exactly have you "won"??	Oct 25 14:55

oiaohm	Yes memory protection enabled in windows 7 made it kick toe. Same as what was in server version.	Oct 25 14:55

DaemonFC	I no longer have anything that uses an Nvidia GPU	Oct 25 18:58

DaemonFC	I got frustrated with Nvidia on many levels, I'll probably write about it at some point in detail	Oct 25 19:01
DaemonFC	The biggest single technical problem with Nvidia's driver is that the installer is not user friendly, it requires you to make X shut down which is not always easy, if it bombs out for any of 100 reasons, the errors are unhelpful, and you have to redo everything each time you rebuild a kernel.	Oct 25 19:02
DaemonFC	Having an Nvidia card on Linux puts you on a very short leash, and sometimes stops you from building your own kernel or even using development kernels, sometimes even final release kernels for weeks until Nvidia catches up	Oct 25 19:03
DaemonFC	It's like, here's 95% of your hardware that the kernel supports and you never have to think about, and here's one device with a horribly conceived installer for an out of tree driver that doubles the work needed to run your own kernel	Oct 25 19:04

cubezzz	you work, you make something.,, etc, etc	Oct 25 20:24
schestowitz	And they overlap, too	Oct 25 20:24
schestowitz	These are mostly works	Oct 25 20:24

Mutex_	you're talking about orwells FICTION book ?	Oct 25 20:25
cubezzz	well there's communism but... there are obvious problems with that as well	Oct 25 20:25
schestowitz	Some jobs are instructing others to move stuff around	Oct 25 20:25
schestowitz	That's the gross simplification	Oct 25 20:25
schestowitz	Most jobs are a combination of those two elements	Oct 25 20:25
schestowitz	cubezzz: but that's an economics/rewards model	Oct 25 20:26
cubezzz	Orwell's book could be taken as a "Cautionary Tale"	Oct 25 20:26
schestowitz	Even less to do with individual freedoms	Oct 25 20:26
cubezzz	of course things never got that bad in reality	Oct 25 20:26
schestowitz	Orwell's books described real phenomena	Oct 25 20:26
schestowitz	Like ones he saw while working for the BBC	Oct 25 20:26
_goblin	"Orwell's book could be taken as a "Cautionary Tale"" Being somewhat involved in the topics that were mentioned in that book...I would challenge any view of this "big brother" culture.	Oct 25 20:26
schestowitz	Or engaging in the Spanish war	Oct 25 20:26
Mutex_	so dose azimov but still does not take it from fiction to faction	Oct 25 20:26
MinceR	Red Faction?	Oct 25 20:28
_goblin	if we are talking big brother....anyone who has to wrangle with RIPR policy will know its easier for a member of public to intrusively monitor you than it is for a government body...	Oct 25 20:28
MinceR	does a 'member of public' have the means? usually not.	Oct 25 20:30
_goblin	depends...	Oct 25 20:30
Mutex_	if your part of the stazi you do.	Oct 25 20:30
_goblin	video camera in their car observing you down the street....no problem....	Oct 25 20:30
_goblin	police performing directed surveillance of you walking down the same street....completely different matter.	Oct 25 20:31
Mutex_	so what did we conclude was a viable alternative to capitalism ?	Oct 25 20:32
_goblin	I would say nothing....	Oct 25 20:32
_goblin	as in I believe in capitalism.	Oct 25 20:32
Mutex_	oh no,, so do i !!!	Oct 25 20:33

_goblin	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_Battery	Oct 25 20:43
_goblin	a battery cell from 250BC	Oct 25 20:43
MinceR	oh.	Oct 25 20:44
Mutex_	an old pottery jar, with a lead tube that may may have been used as a battery.	Oct 25 20:44
schestowitz	Bagdad brought a lot of good things	Oct 25 20:44
Mutex_	if filled with an acid like vinigar	Oct 25 20:44
schestowitz	Maths and other sciences	Oct 25 20:44

schestowitz	People forgot the time when it was the centre of intellect	Oct 25 20:44
Mutex_	they gave us 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9	Oct 25 20:44
schestowitz	Now it's in shambles after the US/UK assult	Oct 25 20:45
schestowitz	It was actually progressing towards being a developed countries before the invasion. Sad.	Oct 25 20:45

_goblin	and before Mutex_ asks....no it wasn't running Windows....it actually was useful.	Oct 25 20:47
Mutex_	some say stonehenge and the like could be considered a computer, but I dont give a flying fudge what you use _goblin...	Oct 25 20:47
_goblin	very true about stone henge....I prefer to think of it as a bunch of rocks which made a good song for Spinal Tap.	Oct 25 20:48
Mutex_	unlike most here, I dont have this odd condition that what you (or I) use is even slightly important, ofcourse you assume everyone who disagrees with your mantra must be a windows user. but that is your issue.. most dont care, and I certainly dont care what you use... and wonder why you would care what I use.	Oct 25 20:51
Mutex_	I dont use ANY operating system, the applications I run do.	Oct 25 20:51
Mutex_	thats comp sci 101	Oct 25 20:51
_goblin	who said I believe you have different views to me? Since you never took me up on asking what mine where we don't know.... I draw inference from your behaviour that you come from Lin$UX and if thats correct then you will be a Windows user.	Oct 25 20:53
_goblin	and it was said in jest, since I dont believe that even you would consider an ancient computer would run windows.	Oct 25 20:54
_goblin	oh and thats sarcasm 101	Oct 25 20:54
MinceR	ancient computers don't run OSes at all :>	Oct 25 20:54
Mutex_	well im happy to say I dont and have NEVER been to Lin$sux, so on that matter I can assure you your wrong wrong wrong, and why resort to personal accusations anyway. ?? I guess it's easier than being cival.	Oct 25 20:55
_goblin	I reckon Ballmer would have given it a go if he had been about...	Oct 25 20:55
Mutex_	alot of computers today dont run operating systems either.	Oct 25 20:55
_goblin	Mutex_ it doesnt really matter if you have or not....Im not that bothered and it wasn't an accusation...please read what I type..."I said I draw inference" I did not accuse you of anything.	Oct 25 20:55
Mutex_	well your inference is still wrong wrong wrong and why "infer" when you can just make stuff up :)	Oct 25 20:56
_goblin	so you're simply badly behaved then and not a Linsux user...fine I can believe that....	Oct 25 20:56
_goblin	unlike you Mutex_ (as the logs from here will show off yesterday) I am not a liar. You are.	Oct 25 20:57
Mutex_	Because I dont agree what Linux sucks, but I do feel much of what is spouted as truth here kinda sucks.	Oct 25 20:57
Mutex_	who im I a liar ?	Oct 25 20:57
Mutex_	how*	Oct 25 20:57
_goblin	er look back on yesterdays conversation with me.....its all logged.	Oct 25 20:57
_goblin	remember when you pretended not to know me and then admitted to reading my articles?	Oct 25 20:58
_goblin	thats one example.	Oct 25 20:58
Mutex_	I know and I noticed you said I dont know you but I read your article in defense of Roy desartous interview, and I stand by that, I STILL DONT KNOW YOU, so how am I lying ??	Oct 25 20:58
_goblin	lol	Oct 25 20:58
_goblin	good try.	Oct 25 20:58
_goblin	its all logged.	Oct 25 20:58
Mutex_	not only dont I know you, I dont care either,	Oct 25 20:59
_goblin	im sure.	Oct 25 20:59
Mutex_	I know, so you can go read it and correct yourself... I STILL dont know you, but I know what you are, and seems like you jump in to defend Roy's honor whenever you feel he's being threatened.	Oct 25 20:59
_goblin	your comment of " I read your article in defense of Roy desartous interview" was your other lie. Read my article again...and pay attention to the part where I say: "I think Jono handled the interview well. Its would be hard for all the issues which Boycott Novell covers to be catered for in the hour or so slot that was dedicated to it." doesnt sound like I was defending anyone..	Oct 25 21:00
_goblin	or how about when I say:	Oct 25 21:00
Mutex_	thats right I did, and ive read all what you said yesterday,,, and I stand by what I said I DO NOT KNOW YOU...	Oct 25 21:00
Mutex_	STILL, dont you understand that ??? it's not that hard.	Oct 25 21:01
_goblin	"Did Roy look bad? Definately not. Did Jono “pull a fast one”? I’d say no. I just have the opinion that whilst it was an interesting interview, it was a wasted opportunity for Jono to produce a compelling piece which would have had the forums talking for months."	Oct 25 21:01
_goblin	I showed that lie of yours up yesterday and now Ive had to do it again today....	Oct 25 21:01
_goblin	you like being exposed twice?	Oct 25 21:01
Mutex_	you dont think he looked bad, sure thats your opinion, but someone who spent the last 3 years 24/7 studing MS and NOvell. when given the chance to explain himself comes out with "I dont have anything prepared"... !!!!! what has he been doing for the past 3 years... that WAS a desaster.	Oct 25 21:02
Mutex_	what lie again ?	Oct 25 21:02
Mutex_	I say again, I DO NOT KNOW YOU, I said that yesterday, and Ill probably say it tomorrow, and IT"S TRUE..	Oct 25 21:03
_goblin	where you say I defended him...(second time) I didn't as you say I gave my opinion on the interview. If I was defending him I would have attacked Jono.	Oct 25 21:03
_goblin	as I say you are a liar.	Oct 25 21:03
_goblin	brb smoke break....hold that thought...........oh the irony....	Oct 25 21:03
Mutex_	I can go read you rletter again, I know what you said, and i assume so do you	Oct 25 21:03
Mutex_	well puff up, and enjoy your cancer stick...	Oct 25 21:04
_goblin	thanks....	Oct 25 21:08
_goblin	I have.	Oct 25 21:08
_goblin	here comes the part where you can wish death on me.	Oct 25 21:08
_goblin	(if you wish)	Oct 25 21:08
Mutex_	I dont wish death on anyone, far from it..	Oct 25 21:08
_goblin	and its not just cancer smoking causes.	Oct 25 21:08
Mutex_	you want to smoke and stink, and have yellow teeth, and die early, and get emforcema, thats your call.. go for it...	Oct 25 21:09
_goblin	lol	Oct 25 21:09
_goblin	thanks	Oct 25 21:09
_goblin	I have your permission then?	Oct 25 21:09
Mutex_	you're welcome :)	Oct 25 21:09
Mutex_	yea, fill your boots, and lungs, while you still have some left.	Oct 25 21:09
_goblin	its two...and you assume I was having a cigarette....	Oct 25 21:10
_goblin	you don't inhale a cigar.	Oct 25 21:10
Mutex_	I dont care ifyour smoking crack cocane.. whats it got to do with me, it's your life.	Oct 25 21:10
_goblin	youre the one mentioning it, all I said was that I was going for a smoke break.	Oct 25 21:11
_goblin	I wouldn't want you thinking I was ignoring you.	Oct 25 21:11
Mutex_	your not that important _goblin :)	Oct 25 21:13

oiaohm	He will also use proxys.	Oct 25 22:48
MinceR	the ircd is supposed to detect open proxies	Oct 25 22:49
MinceR	and it sets a cloak on Tor so we can ban that	Oct 25 22:49
oiaohm	Guy has a company MinceR	Oct 25 22:49
oiaohm	So has access to not listed proxies.	Oct 25 22:49
MinceR	how many?	Oct 25 22:49
cubezzz	I hereby announce the A.R.S.E award for Mutex	Oct 25 22:49
MinceR	also, the detection isn't based on listing, it's based on trying to connect :>	Oct 25 22:50
oiaohm	Even worse they are dynamic ip locations MinceR	Oct 25 22:50
MinceR	i wonder if they use DNSBL-s	Oct 25 22:50
cubezzz	Always Right Society of England :-P	Oct 25 22:50
MinceR	isn't he from australia?	Oct 25 22:50

oiaohm	Most likely we have about 4 hours before he runs threw the web proxies.	Oct 25 22:51
MinceR	web proxies aren't going to help him now	Oct 25 22:51
MinceR	:>	Oct 25 22:51
oiaohm	About the best you can hope for is to slow him down. MinceR	Oct 25 22:54
oiaohm	And annoy him.	Oct 25 22:54
cubezzz	I like my idea of an anti-Mutex bot	Oct 25 22:54
MinceR	how would that bot work?	Oct 25 22:54
cubezzz	figure out typical Mutex expressions	Oct 25 22:54
cubezzz	then kick :)	Oct 25 22:55
MinceR	if we had enough ops, we could kickban mutex any time 24/7	Oct 25 22:55
cubezzz	key on Mutex's misspellings	Oct 25 22:55
oiaohm	Hmm that might get me from time to time cubezzz	Oct 25 22:56

oiaohm	Hang on I can be white listed.	Oct 25 22:56

oiaohm	I always login with my cloak if it don't work I log out and back in to get it anyhow.	Oct 25 22:57
