ThistleWebare we to believe it was all just a coincednce? or that MS organised it through various offices and proxies?Nov 12 00:00
fewalovingcode, is it bad to enjoy soap?Nov 12 00:00
fewalovingcode, is it bad to enjoy murder?Nov 12 00:00
fewalovingcode, is it bad to enjoy lovingcode?Nov 12 00:00
fewaits just illogicalNov 12 00:00
lovingcodeit depends how you enjoy itNov 12 00:00
ThistleWebwhy should organised crime outfits get rewarded with tax payers money in govt contracts?Nov 12 00:00
fewaits an appeal to emotion, and faux nationalistNov 12 00:00
ender2070if you enjoy microsoft I pity you, their products are very lackingNov 12 00:00
fewa*nationalismNov 12 00:00

fewaFreedomOrDeath, when did I make such a comparison?Nov 12 00:01
ThistleWebwhy should they get any tax payers money in bailouts?Nov 12 00:01
FreedomOrDeathHe asked if it was bad to enjoy MS and you countered with is it bad to enjoy muderNov 12 00:01
ThistleWebwould the Mafia get the same deal?Nov 12 00:01
FreedomOrDeathSorry, I just don't like comparisons like that.Nov 12 00:01
StickyBunsWhy should anybody get bailouts? Socialism never works when used with a no consequence plan ;)Nov 12 00:01
lovingcodedo both equal yes?Nov 12 00:01
FreedomOrDeathThe Mafia did get deals like that.Nov 12 00:01
fewaFreedomOrDeath, you have no appreciation for contextNov 12 00:02
FreedomOrDeathBack in the early 1900sNov 12 00:02
FreedomOrDeathlolNov 12 00:02
_Hicham_huh, a trolling session is in progressNov 12 00:02
ThistleWebofficially sanctioned, above the table deals? I dont think soNov 12 00:02
fewa_Hicham_, agreedNov 12 00:02
lovingcodeis it bad to enjoy linux?Nov 12 00:02
ThistleWebare the mafia wandering around the halls of power in full public, having meetings with politicians to lie to them?Nov 12 00:02
*fewa sees FreedomOrDeath and lovingcode run into illogical tangentsNov 12 00:02
FreedomOrDeathAnyway. My point was that what MS does as a company is no worse than ExxonMobil and Wal-Mart. The only difference is that at least ExxonMobil has good productsNov 12 00:03
FreedomOrDeathMicrosoft has just gotten lucky with selling shitty stuff. Wal-Mart, too.Nov 12 00:03
StickyBunsOr so you think, ExxonMobil is good at hiding its crap ;)Nov 12 00:03
fewaFreedomOrDeath, what products?Nov 12 00:03
lovingcodeso its bad to enjoy MS but no response to is it bad to enjoy linux...Nov 12 00:03
*lovingcode (n=Susie@c-66-177-67-244.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has left #boycottnovellNov 12 00:03
FreedomOrDeathMy whole thing in here in the first place was for a technological discusssionNov 12 00:03
fewaFreedomOrDeath, you fundamentally misunderstand what ExxonMobil doesNov 12 00:03
fewaFreedomOrDeath, they sell the _access_ to natural resourcesNov 12 00:04
FreedomOrDeathfewa: Not so much. When I was younger, my dad and my uncles all owned Exxon station. I grew up with Exxon.Nov 12 00:04
fewathey prop up a dictaitorship, coup, etc, then sell access to those peoples natural resourcesNov 12 00:04
FreedomOrDeathlolwut?Nov 12 00:04
StickyBunsAh, and now the true philosophy behind this finally shows.Nov 12 00:04
fewaThese large companies are much more in the business of controling access to resourcesNov 12 00:05
FreedomOrDeathI'm not even sure how to reply to that.Nov 12 00:05
fewathan anything elseNov 12 00:05
FreedomOrDeathSo, where do you buy your gas?Nov 12 00:05
fewaFreedomOrDeath, look at Shell nigeriaNov 12 00:05
FreedomOrDeathIs there a "free" gas station near you?Nov 12 00:05
fewaFreedomOrDeath, most the cost of gasoline is the base cost due to demandNov 12 00:05
fewathats not profit, its rentNov 12 00:05
FreedomOrDeathWhat?Nov 12 00:05
fewaits the cost of controling the natural resourceNov 12 00:05
FreedomOrDeathI lost you.Nov 12 00:05
fewanot the cost of refining it, the tax, etcNov 12 00:06
FreedomOrDeathExxonMobil had the largest profits ever recorded last yearNov 12 00:06
fewaFreedomOrDeath, exactly, but those are not "profits" in its basic definitionNov 12 00:06
fewaprofits are based on laborNov 12 00:06
fewathis wasn't based on labor, but upon conquestNov 12 00:06
FreedomOrDeathBut again, it's not rent. You're not "renting" anything from Exxon. You're buying gasoline from them.Nov 12 00:06
ender2070FreedomOrDeath - profits mean they lost less money, ie fewa is more correct nowNov 12 00:06
fewathe controling of natural resourcesNov 12 00:06
FreedomOrDeathrent: a payment made periodically by a tenant to a landlord in return for the use of land, a building, an apartment, an office, or other property. Nov 12 00:07
fewawhy do private companies have the right to exploit natural resources to their own benifit?Nov 12 00:07
FreedomOrDeathSo, how are you renting fasolineNov 12 00:07
fewadon't these resources belong to everyone?Nov 12 00:07
FreedomOrDeath*gasolineNov 12 00:07
StickyBunsNo, they don'tNov 12 00:07
fewait has little to do with capitalism, and everything to do with conquest, and dominationNov 12 00:07
fewait also has nothing to do with productivityNov 12 00:07
fewaor value addedNov 12 00:08
FreedomOrDeathI'm pretty sure Exxon didn't lose any money.Nov 12 00:08
fewaits just random money, because Exxon controls the exploitation of those resourcesNov 12 00:08
fewaFreedomOrDeath, if you look at the big picture they probably actually loose moneyNov 12 00:08
fewaFreedomOrDeath, if you take into account all the money spend on military to control those resourcesNov 12 00:09
FreedomOrDeathOkay. So, who's worst? Exxon for exploiting resources and creating dictatorships that kill people or microsoft for making shitty software and controlling the market?Nov 12 00:09
StickyBunsMilitary, are you serious?Nov 12 00:09
fewaStickyBuns, what the fuck do you think Iraq was about?Nov 12 00:09
ender2070FreedomOrDeath - precisely, since they are charging whatever instead of it being based on actual costsNov 12 00:09
fewaStickyBuns, are you serious?Nov 12 00:09
FreedomOrDeathOh here we go. Iraq was not about oil.Nov 12 00:09
fewaFreedomOrDeath, in both examples, a company can change whatever they wantNov 12 00:10
StickyBunsVery serious, if you believe Exxon has any militaristic power, you have a serious misunderstanding about multi-national business are structured.Nov 12 00:10
FreedomOrDeathIraq was about Bush getting revenge for Saddam trying to assinate his dadNov 12 00:10
fewaFreedomOrDeath, neither are based upon the quality of the good, but rather who has control over that good (in Microsoft's case there is even a question of weather it is a good at all)Nov 12 00:10
FreedomOrDeathfewa: My point all along was this: ExxonMobil does bad crap. Wal-Mart does bad crap, Shell does bad crap, American Airlines does bad crap and Microsoft does bad crap.Nov 12 00:11
fewaStickyBuns, the military defends the interest of ExxonNov 12 00:11
fewaits all linked togetherNov 12 00:11
*ThistleWeb has quit ("Ex-Chat")Nov 12 00:11
FreedomOrDeathI choose to rate a company on their products, not their tactics/practices. Would it be great if there was a major comapny that made good products and did things right? Yes. Will it happen? Probably not.Nov 12 00:11
fewa<ender2070> FreedomOrDeath - precisely, since they are charging whatever instead of it being based on actual costsNov 12 00:11
StickyBunsthe military does nothing for Exxon, they don't have to.Nov 12 00:11
fewayou still are not understanding thatNov 12 00:12
FreedomOrDeathOkay. There you goNov 12 00:12
FreedomOrDeathThat's how it'll always happen. How do I answer it? I don't pay $200 for a license of Windows.Nov 12 00:12
fewathey wont charge based on actually cost, because they cannot make money that wayNov 12 00:12
fewathey wont let what they sell become a free commodity, because they wouldn't make any money that wayNov 12 00:13
StickyBunsShow me a business that charges on actual cost and I'll show you a dying business.Nov 12 00:13
FreedomOrDeathWhat's wrong with making money?Nov 12 00:13
ender2070based on actual cost, and actual cost are differentNov 12 00:13
fewaStickyBuns, meh, Dow, Hitachi, Dell, etc, etcNov 12 00:13
ender2070theres something wrong with charging $100 for a $15 cableNov 12 00:13
fewaFreedomOrDeath, nothing at allNov 12 00:13
ender2070ie, Monster CableNov 12 00:14
FreedomOrDeathAnd selling for a profit is what captailism is about. And, if you don't like capitalism, then you might want to go back to the 18th centuries and talk to the guys who decided on that market for America.Nov 12 00:14
FreedomOrDeathender2070: No there isn't.Nov 12 00:14
fewaStickyBuns, United airlines, Northwest airlines, Delta airlines, UPS, USPS, FedExNov 12 00:14
FreedomOrDeathIt's your choice to buy that in the endNov 12 00:14
ender2070its unethicalNov 12 00:14
FreedomOrDeathlol no it isn'tNov 12 00:14
ender2070yes it isNov 12 00:14
StickyBunsI assume you have data to back up those claims.Nov 12 00:14
ender2070they are counting on the consumer not knowing any betterNov 12 00:14
fewaStickyBuns, those are companies operating within the basic boundaries of capitalism (and common carrier)Nov 12 00:14
FreedomOrDeathNow, I can see it being unethical to charge extraoridnaryly high prices for the basic necessities of life (i.e. food and water), but not for things you don't needNov 12 00:14
ender2070its unethical to rip someone off, and if u dont agree you're in the wrong placeNov 12 00:15
fewawith quite honest business models, with the oppurtunity for profitNov 12 00:15
*amarsh04__ has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))Nov 12 00:15
FreedomOrDeathThat's why it's up to the consumer to research. I research everything I buyNov 12 00:15
StickyBunsSo, it's a moral issue and has no basis in hard fact?Nov 12 00:15
fewaMicrosoft has no such business model, theirs in based on an artificial scarcity, due to a government-granted monopolyNov 12 00:15
fewaor many monopoliesNov 12 00:15

FreedomOrDeathI originally came in here to get info on why mono is so bad, since I don't fully understand the subject.Nov 12 00:20

fewanieve i supposeNov 12 00:21
ender2070and for the last hour you've been arguing with us over itNov 12 00:21
FreedomOrDeathI told you my reasons for liking and disliking MS. Then I get called a fool.Nov 12 00:21
FreedomOrDeathI've been arguing? Since when. This is called conversating. Not everyone sees eye-to-eye. and sometimes, talking to others can give us new light on the subject.Nov 12 00:22
FreedomOrDeathSometimes, it changes our mind, usually not, and that's fine. If nothing else, it helps us to understand differing opinions, making us wiser in the end.Nov 12 00:22
ender2070you were told we dislike mono for various reasons, some because ms is disliked, some technical and some because of irrationality. what is the point in arguing with people who don't follow your beliefs?Nov 12 00:22
FreedomOrDeathAgain, I'm not here to argue.Nov 12 00:23

FreedomOrDeathIf I were here to argue, I would've come in ranting and raving. But I did not.Nov 12 00:23

DaemonFCthe best way to go about applying for food stamps is to have a lot of rent or utilities to pay, cause they count that as neutralizing your incomeNov 12 02:20
DaemonFCso you may as well live in a nice apartmentNov 12 02:21

shreddarI think people shouldn't have to learn to type.Nov 12 04:12
shreddarKeyboard should be in alphabetical order like everything else.Nov 12 04:12
shreddarAlso, voice and handwriting recognition will eventually be good enough for most people. (who don't type anyway)Nov 12 04:14
shreddarI can see MID and internet connected TVs making big use of voice recognition.Nov 12 04:15
shreddarBut just the change to alphabetical order would be a step in the right direction for alot of people.Nov 12 04:16

DaemonFCI may go to Fedora when 12 is official Nov 12 04:31

ender2070its semi officialNov 12 04:31
ender2070get a rawhide dailyNov 12 04:31
DaemonFCbut it seems like my Radeon card would need FGLRX right now, which is pretty lousy iircNov 12 04:32
DaemonFCI'd be using Fedora cause as far as I know, nobody else even has experimental RadeonHD 4000 series support without FGLRXNov 12 04:32
DaemonFCPhoronix tested out the RadeonHD 4890 with Fedora's unofficial 3d acceleration support and found some glitchesNov 12 04:33
DaemonFCATI dropped my Radeon 200m in the laptop from FGLRX, probably cause it never worked right anyway and it was a few years oldNov 12 04:37
DaemonFCradeonhd works well enough though, better than FGLRX ever didNov 12 04:37

ender2070not enough cowbellNov 12 04:38
DaemonFC_Hicham_, I'd rather that they just shipped the experimental version by defaultNov 12 04:38
DaemonFCit beats nothing but 2d EXA supportNov 12 04:38
ender2070DaemonFC - sounds like u should be running archNov 12 04:38
DaemonFCI'd rather have experimental support than noneNov 12 04:38
DaemonFCit would have let them get more feedback tooNov 12 04:38

_Hicham_then download the driver and compile it ur selfNov 12 04:39
_Hicham_it is not that hardNov 12 04:39
DaemonFCender2070, The pitfall of using an RPM distro is that everyone is packaging things for Ubuntu nowNov 12 04:39
ender2070poppycockNov 12 04:39
DaemonFCit's easier to be a lazy SOB on Ubuntu cause there's always a DEBNov 12 04:39
ender2070thats bsNov 12 04:39
_Hicham_it is easier to make rpmsNov 12 04:40
_Hicham_trust meNov 12 04:40
ender2070redhat has more market shareNov 12 04:40
ender2070noobzillaNov 12 04:40
DaemonFCender2070, If there's only one or the other, they usually just throw you a DEB and that's the Linux versionNov 12 04:40
_Hicham_and rpm is still more widespread than debNov 12 04:40
DaemonFCthat didn't used to be so until Ubuntu Nov 12 04:40
_Hicham_show me a proprietary software where there is only a deb Nov 12 04:41
ender2070DaemonFC - you run windows, what do u runNov 12 04:41
DaemonFCUbuntu and Debian, and other Debian spinoffs probably have more users between them than all the RPM distrosNov 12 04:41
DaemonFCit shifted at some point around late 2006Nov 12 04:41
ender2070DaemonFC - thats because they all base themselves off DebianNov 12 04:41
DaemonFCit used to be the other way around, if it was one or the other, it would be RPMNov 12 04:41
_Hicham_the problem with Debian and Ubuntu is that they are very conservativesNov 12 04:42
DaemonFCSkype only had a DEB til recentlyNov 12 04:42
DaemonFCenough people complained and they made an RPMNov 12 04:42
ender2070most of them are ubuntu spinoffs, which are just ubuntu with a different wm (hardly a different distro)Nov 12 04:42
_Hicham_this is simply not trueNov 12 04:42
_Hicham_plus, debs and rpms are the sameNov 12 04:43
_Hicham_u can use alienNov 12 04:43
DaemonFCender2070, I sometimes joke that the biggest difference between an Ubuntu spinoff and Ubuntu is usually the default wallpaperNov 12 04:43
DaemonFC_Hicham_, SometimesNov 12 04:43
DaemonFCgood luck with thatNov 12 04:43
_Hicham_all the timesNov 12 04:43
DaemonFCAlien has never worked right for meNov 12 04:43
DaemonFCwell, except when I needed to convert nspluginwrapper a few years backNov 12 04:43
_Hicham_but i hardly have to, since i compile things from sourceNov 12 04:43
ender2070DaemonFC - thats for the satanic, christian and other religious distroNov 12 04:44
DaemonFCbut that doesn't really have any dependencies anywayNov 12 04:44
DaemonFCender2070, The biggest difference I've seen in an Ubuntu spinoff was MintNov 12 04:44
DaemonFCthe same effect is easily obtained on UbuntuNov 12 04:44
DaemonFCmenus and themes and suchNov 12 04:44
DaemonFCI did manage to get my dad off of OpenSuse at leastNov 12 04:45
_Hicham_DaemonFC : can't u compile the driver on Ubuntu ?Nov 12 04:45
DaemonFCit finally failed him when he tried to put it on his new laptopNov 12 04:45
DaemonFC_Hicham_, Probably Nov 12 04:45
_Hicham_OpenSUSE is greatNov 12 04:46
DaemonFCI gave him an Ubuntu CD and it fired up and just workedNov 12 04:46
DaemonFCand so I ended up prying Suse off his desktop as wellNov 12 04:46
DaemonFChe had it on that thing so long that he still had Reiser on his partitionsNov 12 04:47
DaemonFChe never throws anything awayNov 12 04:47
_Hicham_which suse version ?Nov 12 04:47
ender2070reiser is badassNov 12 04:47
DaemonFC_Hicham_, he was using 11.1Nov 12 04:47
DaemonFCI put him on Ubuntu 9.04, the latest at the timeNov 12 04:47
DaemonFCI walked him through upgrading to 9.10 on the phone a few days agoNov 12 04:48
_Hicham_GreatNov 12 04:48
DaemonFChe's never used anything Debian-basedNov 12 04:48
_Hicham_then ur dad is a linux pro ?Nov 12 04:48

DaemonFC_Hicham_, He sees it a lot at workNov 12 04:48
DaemonFCSuse, RHEL, and WindowsNov 12 04:48

DaemonFCender2070, I don't like itNov 12 04:52
ender2070you dont have to use itNov 12 04:52
DaemonFCit's a personal preference I guess, but Synaptic spanks itNov 12 04:52
ender2070synaptic is a *buntu thingNov 12 04:52
_Hicham_fewa : why ?Nov 12 04:52
DaemonFCSynaptic just gives you so much more information about what's available and what you're doingNov 12 04:52
DaemonFCender2070, Mandriva's RPMdrake is not bad eitherNov 12 04:52

_Hicham_PackageKit is a work in progressNov 12 04:53
DaemonFCYou shouldn't have to know what you want, by name, necessarilyNov 12 04:53
_Hicham_a lot of features are plannedNov 12 04:53
DaemonFCPackagekit in KDE sucksNov 12 04:53
DaemonFCit doesn't group anythingNov 12 04:53
ender2070i actually like KPackageKitNov 12 04:53
_Hicham_didn't use it on KDENov 12 04:53
ender2070it can be improved yesNov 12 04:53
_Hicham_but the gnome UI is okNov 12 04:54
ender2070but it does its job as an auto updaterNov 12 04:54
_Hicham_OpenSUSE adopted the PackageKit updater by defaultNov 12 04:54
ender2070i prefer yum via command line to install stuffNov 12 04:54
DaemonFCGNOME is better for simplicity, but there's a lot of rough edges when you start trying to do things like compositing Nov 12 04:54
DaemonFCthat's what finally infuriated me into preferring KDENov 12 04:54
_Hicham_huh, then u gonna troll for KDENov 12 04:54
ender2070GNOME is becoming lamer with each releaseNov 12 04:55
DaemonFCCompiz still provokes a lot of GNOME bugsNov 12 04:55
DaemonFCKWin is so much smootherNov 12 04:55
_Hicham_so are u GDaemonFC or KDaemonFC ?Nov 12 04:55
DaemonFCIf the GNOME people know what they're doing, Compiz will be integrated by 3.0Nov 12 04:55
DaemonFCKNov 12 04:55
DaemonFC:DNov 12 04:55
_Hicham_compiz won't be runnable on gnome-3.0Nov 12 04:56
DaemonFC_Hicham_, So what will the compositor be?Nov 12 04:56
_Hicham_coz some elements are gonna tightly integratedNov 12 04:56
ender2070not until team mono ports direct xNov 12 04:56
_Hicham_didn't u use gnome-shell ?Nov 12 04:56
_Hicham_gnome-shell has a built-in compositorNov 12 04:56
DaemonFC_Hicham_, I tried it under Ubuntu and it seemed not to have installed rightNov 12 04:56
DaemonFCit was like empty and broken so I switched backNov 12 04:57

_Hicham_ender2070 : it is already final for meNov 12 04:59
DaemonFCFedora usually ends up being more or less what you'll see 6 months from now in other distrosNov 12 04:59
DaemonFCso it's hard not to like for that aloneNov 12 04:59
_Hicham_no noticeable bugs so farNov 12 04:59

DaemonFCmy computer could no longer sleepNov 12 05:05

_Hicham_of course it will be halfNov 12 05:06
_Hicham_it is not as tested as the xp oneNov 12 05:06

ender2070nvidia is betterNov 12 05:07
_Hicham_norred : speak upNov 12 05:07
DaemonFCender2070, It's mostly about the quality of the driverNov 12 05:07
DaemonFCthe Linux driver from ATI is kind of half-assedNov 12 05:07
DaemonFCmaybe they use their whole ass, I don't knowNov 12 05:07
ender2070the nvidia driver is usually high qualityNov 12 05:07
DaemonFCit runs like assNov 12 05:07
_Hicham_the fglrx is crappy, according to Dave AirlieNov 12 05:07
ender2070ati has a one man driver team for linuxNov 12 05:07
DaemonFCender2070, so their driver is basic and shitty and jsut enough to give you the basic features of the cardNov 12 05:08
ender2070seems like itNov 12 05:08
DaemonFCbecause they don't take Linux seriously enough to assign at least a 3-4 person teamNov 12 05:08
ender2070nvidia deals with hollywood render farms that use linux clusters and quadro'sNov 12 05:09
_Hicham_there are 3 people exactlyNov 12 05:09
DaemonFCthat's why I went ATI, there WILL eventually be some kind of open source driverNov 12 05:09
ender2070they take linux seriouslyNov 12 05:09
DaemonFCthere never will be with NvidiaNov 12 05:09
_Hicham_it will never be open sourcedNov 12 05:09
_Hicham_third party licenses prevents themNov 12 05:09
DaemonFCyou won't see ATI releasing their HDCP specsNov 12 05:09
DaemonFCbut nobody is buying into Blu Ray anywayNov 12 05:09
_Hicham_they already released the specs for their cardsNov 12 05:10
DaemonFCthe Blu Ray players out there are getting price-cuts to the boneNov 12 05:10
_Hicham_Nvidia didn'tNov 12 05:10
DaemonFCto try and get someone to fall for itNov 12 05:10
DaemonFC_Hicham_, They can't release the HDCP specsNov 12 05:10
DaemonFCthat's what I'm sayingNov 12 05:10
ender2070i do hope nouveu gets betterNov 12 05:10
DaemonFCit's possible someone will figure them out eventually I guessNov 12 05:10
_Hicham_ender2070 : then try F12Nov 12 05:10
_Hicham_reverse engineering is the solutionNov 12 05:11

DaemonFCender2070, Nvidia's position on Nouveau is "We won't sue it, but we're not going to help"Nov 12 05:11
ender2070nvidia said nouveau is doing an excellent jobNov 12 05:11
DaemonFCone of Nvidia's guys said in an interview that Nouveau has impressed him so farNov 12 05:11

schestowitz"Hospitals are rightfully expected to get you better but that's not always the case.  Sometimes people are picking up infections, from pneumonia to antibiotic-resistant staph (MRSA), while under treatment for other health problems, or even while just in the hospital having a baby.  That's a situation that could, and should, be completely avoidable.Nov 12 23:50
