FurnaceBoyyou mean the man hanged in MelbourneFeb 23 03:21
FurnaceBoywhose name escapes meFeb 23 03:21
oiaohmYep the very last one.Feb 23 03:21
FurnaceBoyyes he was probably innocent -- Ronald Ryan was his name?Feb 23 03:21
oiaohmYep.Feb 23 03:21
FurnaceBoyyes he probably was innocent.Feb 23 03:22
FurnaceBoybut many executed are.Feb 23 03:22

oiaohmI always like the old law china solution.Feb 23 03:24
FurnaceBoyshreddar: but howFeb 23 03:24
FurnaceBoyshreddar: where's the flaw?Feb 23 03:24
oiaohmYou kill a person you become responsable for all there responablities.Feb 23 03:24
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: food for thoughtFeb 23 03:24
oiaohmProblem is there responablities are more important that you have food.Feb 23 03:25
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: but the Chinese state kills in great numbersFeb 23 03:25
shreddarI'd think it would be obvious what's messed up about it.Feb 23 03:25

FurnaceBoyshreddar: what's messed up, to a Christian?Feb 23 03:25
oiaohmI said old law china.  Not the current day stuff.Feb 23 03:25
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: ahFeb 23 03:25
ender2070<FurnaceBoy> oiaohm: but the Chinese state kills in great numbers    <---- the Chinese COMMUNIST state kills in great numbersFeb 23 03:25
FurnaceBoyshreddar: he calls himself a Christian so it's confusing Feb 23 03:25
FurnaceBoyender2070: that's the Chinese stateFeb 23 03:25
shreddarUm I'm a Christian not a Marshian.Feb 23 03:26
FurnaceBoyender2070: communism is clearly optional, since the US states also doFeb 23 03:26
ender2070see the soviet story yet?Feb 23 03:26
FurnaceBoyender2070: the USA states kill without being Soviet or CommunistFeb 23 03:26
ender2070i'd highly recommend itFeb 23 03:26
ender2070the USA borrows a lot of soviet ideasFeb 23 03:26
ender2070actuallyFeb 23 03:26
FurnaceBoyI've long studied the SovietFeb 23 03:26
FurnaceBoyI know many Russians, have been thereFeb 23 03:26
FurnaceBoyender2070: well, let's cut to the chase, how do *you* feel about capital punishment?Feb 23 03:27
oiaohmBasically if you kill lets say someone who is running a store.   Your resposnablity would become to make sure that store does not fail.  And what ever that store makes goes either to the state or releations.  So basically as well as running a store you would making nothing from.  You would still have to work a job to feed self.Feb 23 03:27
FurnaceBoyrnb: are you alive, amigo?Feb 23 03:27
ender2070watch "The Soviet Story"Feb 23 03:27
FurnaceBoyender2070: how do *you* feel about capital punishment?Feb 23 03:28
ender2070you obviously dont know that marxist-socialism demands deathFeb 23 03:28
oiaohmBasically murder under old china law does not look that promissing.Feb 23 03:28
ender2070[22:21] <FurnaceBoy> ender2070: how do *you* feel about capital punishment?Feb 23 03:28
FurnaceBoywhy are you telling me what I don't know?Feb 23 03:28
ender2070i dont agreeFeb 23 03:28
shreddarFrom my perspective I'd say Bob Marshall's statement was evil.Feb 23 03:28
FurnaceBoyshreddar: but why? I'm unclear. what part of it is problematic to a Christian? He thinks he *is* a ChristianFeb 23 03:28
FurnaceBoyshreddar: you see how confusing it is? he's a self-proclaimed Christian speaking for [his] GodFeb 23 03:29
oiaohmThere are planits here that can kill a baby in mother at any stage of development.Feb 23 03:29
oiaohmCatch is there there toxion ammount is partly random.Feb 23 03:29
oiaohmSo sometimes kills mother as well.Feb 23 03:30
oiaohmabortions around the world had different ways of doing it.  Native Australians drugs.Feb 23 03:30

FurnaceBoyherbs are traditionalFeb 23 03:31
oiaohmThis plaint I am talking about has pill shaped seads and all.Feb 23 03:32
shreddarAll Christian aren't going to see things the same way. I also don't believe everyone who say's they are christian really are.Feb 23 03:32
oiaohmone will kill baby and maybe mother.  2 will for sure kill.  Feb 23 03:32
FurnaceBoyshreddar: rightFeb 23 03:33
FurnaceBoyshreddar: maybe this guy should think twice before taking the role of "God's" spokesmanFeb 23 03:33
FurnaceBoyshreddar: maybe his voters like itFeb 23 03:33
ender2070republicanFeb 23 03:33
ender2070of courseFeb 23 03:33
oiaohmWish I could find a picture of them.Feb 23 03:33
oiaohmThey are a nice red and black seadFeb 23 03:34
FurnaceBoyit doesn't seem a very intelligent thing to say, regardless of whether one is christian or not...Feb 23 03:34
FurnaceBoymaybe he has calculated carefully with his 'base'Feb 23 03:34
FurnaceBoymaybe they're not 'moderate' christians but evangelicals looking for rhetoric like this.. who knows..Feb 23 03:34
FurnaceBoyit seems a very short stroll from this to stoning adulterersFeb 23 03:35
oiaohmDarn I am finding a whole stack of tasteless posion native australian plaints but not the one I am Looking for.Feb 23 03:40

FurnaceBoyoiaohm: one could make an analogy with marijuana. the fact is, people are crazy to outlaw natural agentsFeb 23 04:14
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: just make cultivation, harvesting etc illegal -- it's a big absurd arms raceFeb 23 04:15
oiaohmUse of the natural agent here is out lawed due to its kill risk.Feb 23 04:15
oiaohmbut its supply and demard.Feb 23 04:15
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: what exactly is illegal? harvesting? growing? possession?Feb 23 04:15

FurnaceBoyironic nameFeb 23 04:17
*FurnaceBoy laughs.. on the insideFeb 23 04:17
oiaohmFor marijuana it gets even more interesting.Feb 23 04:17
FurnaceBoyto my knowledge Australian approach to marijuana, in the southern states, is backward.Feb 23 04:18
FurnaceBoyCanada is more enlightenedFeb 23 04:18
oiaohmFor medical grounds you are allowed to grow 1 planit and use it for medical.Feb 23 04:18
FurnaceBoythat's not bad, but surely state-specific?Feb 23 04:18
oiaohmLast time I checked no.Feb 23 04:18
FurnaceBoyand it wasn't always so liberalFeb 23 04:18
oiaohmBut its only for medical grounds.Feb 23 04:18
FurnaceBoyyeah, Canada does better than this afaikFeb 23 04:18
oiaohmyou must have a doc saying you need to for treatment of pain or equal to grow it.Feb 23 04:19
oiaohmYes it is strictly restricted to 1 planit that kinda screws up producing seeds.Feb 23 04:19
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[qu1j0t3] @qu1j0t3 I own a couple of Model M's too. it's just funny that this cheap knock-off sounds so... badass.Feb 23 04:20
FurnaceBoyoh well. i am sure that things will liberalise eventually.Feb 23 04:20
FurnaceBoyin Virginia, not so much heheheeFeb 23 04:20
oiaohmmarijuana market here is dieing out.  As hemp ie low drug from is being produced more and more here.Feb 23 04:20
oiaohmSo police replace marijuana with hemp and let it go on way.Feb 23 04:20
oiaohmThey look the same but you really don't want to smoke hemp.Feb 23 04:21
shreddarI think they should legalise it. It's BS that they they haven't but sigarettes and alcoholic beverages are.Feb 23 04:21
oiaohmBasically to get high with the hemp you would have to cosume 3 tons.Feb 23 04:22
oiaohmIe almost no active chemical.Feb 23 04:22
oiaohmEven more scary the hemp I am talking about is a GM crop created here in Australia.Feb 23 04:23
shreddarPlus most organised crime depends on it being illegal.Feb 23 04:23
oiaohmIts called killing supply.,Feb 23 04:24

oiaohmhemp will cross bread with marijuana plaints and its low drug effect is dominate.Feb 23 04:25
oiaohmcrime depends on being able to get supply.  shreddar.  What is happening here is supply is being destroyed.Feb 23 04:26
shreddarYep.Feb 23 04:27
shreddarBut they somehow always get supply.Feb 23 04:27
oiaohmSo instead of marijuana they have moved on to man made drugs.Feb 23 04:28
oiaohmSince marijuana here is no longer a dependable drug.Feb 23 04:28
shreddarAnyways making possesion illegal has been in effect criminalising most of the country.Feb 23 04:29
shreddarThat should definately be changed.Feb 23 04:29
oiaohmMost here are not done for possession.Feb 23 04:29
oiaohmYou are only done for possession if you will not drop your supplier in it.Feb 23 04:30
oiaohmI have seen a few go from a drug charge to a theift charge of nicking it from someone who was allowed to have it.Feb 23 04:31
oiaohmLot of the modern day party drugs are far worse.Feb 23 04:32
shreddarI think if they legalised in they should regulate it like they do Alcohol and Cigaretts.Feb 23 04:33
oiaohmHere in australia ciggerate rate is dropping.Feb 23 04:33
shreddarIf you give them to kids that would still be punishable.Feb 23 04:33
oiaohmReally I would just like to see Cigaretts removed from shelf.Feb 23 04:34
oiaohmand the anti craving drugs put in there place.Feb 23 04:34
oiaohmIt will save a fortune long term.Feb 23 04:34
FurnaceBoyyesFeb 23 04:34
FurnaceBoyit's a rational changeFeb 23 04:35
oiaohmBecause one of the recent studies of smokers here said 99 percent of them want to quit.Feb 23 04:35
oiaohmand the 1 percent left over really don't want to smoke but have given up on attempt to quit.Feb 23 04:35
oiaohmSo you cannot really call smoking a will selection.Feb 23 04:36
shreddarI don't think that would be a good idea. But they should do more to help people who want to quit.Feb 23 04:36
oiaohmWe are doing more.Feb 23 04:36
oiaohmNote it was one of the smokers groups suggestions.Feb 23 04:36
FurnaceBoyit's an interesting public health issue. as is alcohol, and other dietary problems like soda, and poor food as sold by corporatesFeb 23 04:37
FurnaceBoyall of which are just pointless cost and burdenFeb 23 04:37
shreddarI think all cigaretts should come in the same box design except for the name.Feb 23 04:37
shreddarThe shull and crossbones should be on them.Feb 23 04:37
oiaohmSimple ban nicatten out right.Feb 23 04:37
FurnaceBoy:)Feb 23 04:37
shreddarshull = skull.Feb 23 04:37
oiaohmThere are other things to make cigaretts from.Feb 23 04:38
oiaohmYes its possiable to make a nicatten free cigarettsFeb 23 04:38
shreddarA ban would just have the same effect that prohibition had on alcohol.Feb 23 04:38
oiaohmNot really.Feb 23 04:39
oiaohmNumber one lot of people like drinking alcohol.Feb 23 04:39
*FurnaceBoy wonders how much tobacco is grown in AustraliaFeb 23 04:39
oiaohmFurnaceBoy: ZeroFeb 23 04:39
FurnaceBoyit's a bit easier to police than alcohol prohibition thenFeb 23 04:40
FurnaceBoy:)Feb 23 04:40
oiaohmThey stopped growing tobacco here as soon as percent of australian tobacco requirement was removed.Feb 23 04:40
shreddarOh well yes I suppose for Austrailia that might be differern't.Feb 23 04:40
oiaohmYes its part of a long term goal to get rid of it.Feb 23 04:40
FurnaceBoyshreddar: yeah, one of the few places with natural bordersFeb 23 04:40
FurnaceBoyshreddar: unfortunately, that works mentally too :|Feb 23 04:40
FurnaceBoypresent company excepted)Feb 23 04:41
shreddar?Feb 23 04:41
oiaohmWe have strict laws on how much adveristment tobacco can get.Feb 23 04:41
oiaohmBasically Zero on tv and radio.Feb 23 04:41
oiaohmAll the advertisment they get is word of mouth and the boxes on display that is it.Feb 23 04:42
FurnaceBoyshreddar: what I mean is: the isolation is not just physical. it has a psychological effect.Feb 23 04:43
oiaohmYet quit smoking and items to assist quiting smoking can have almost much advertising as they like.Feb 23 04:43
oiaohmFunny thing is what started this all off.Feb 23 04:43
oiaohmA anti smoking group bought out ever single part of advertising space at a sporting event.Feb 23 04:44
oiaohmAnd one of the smoke funded teams was threated if they did not pull out of the comp there funding would be cut.Feb 23 04:44
shreddarOh. I think that's cool. In an era were we have the internet and planes that can travel around the world in 2 hours that very rare.Feb 23 04:45
oiaohmSo proving the only reason they were funding sport was to push there product.Feb 23 04:45
FurnaceBoyshreddar: actually, neither the net nor jet travel seems to have affected this Feb 23 04:45
oiaohmThen the goverment looks more and more and basically cut smoking out.Feb 23 04:45
FurnaceBoyshreddar: at least, tourism doesn't.Feb 23 04:45

shreddarIf it was a accident then they are not excused.Feb 23 05:00

oiaohmNote Ronald Ryan gun FurnaceBoyFeb 23 05:04
oiaohmEvery bullet was accounted for.Feb 23 05:05
oiaohmSo he had nevered fired a shot.Feb 23 05:05
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: there was a documentary in the 70s and 80s that questioned the whole shebangFeb 23 05:05
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: and we see that even before he died, there was widespread scepticism of his guiltFeb 23 05:05
oiaohmBecause if he had fired a shot they would have been only 6 in clip not 7.Feb 23 05:05
oiaohmDue to the way gun works.  Feb 23 05:05
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: as a cause celebre he had a huge effect -- helping abolish hangingFeb 23 05:06

Diablo-D3not clipFeb 23 05:11
oiaohmI know less letters to type.Feb 23 05:12
Diablo-D3except it doesnt use a clip.Feb 23 05:12
Diablo-D3a clip and a magazine are two different things.Feb 23 05:12
*jono has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)Feb 23 05:12
Diablo-D3so unless the gun was manufactured in the late 1800s, its very unlikely to have a clip.Feb 23 05:12
Diablo-D3well first manufactured anywaysFeb 23 05:13
Diablo-D3except the m1 garand, I believeFeb 23 05:13
Diablo-D3thats a weird throwbackFeb 23 05:13
Diablo-D3thirty odd six, clip, saw usage even up to vietnamFeb 23 05:14
Diablo-D3but then again, it used an en bloc clip instead of a stripper clipFeb 23 05:14
Diablo-D3which is sort of the evolutionary step between clip and magazineFeb 23 05:14
*jono (~jono@ubuntu/member/jono) has joined #boycottnovellFeb 23 05:15
Diablo-D3and a lot of m1 garands have been modified to use modern army ammunition in a magazineFeb 23 05:15

*Diablo-D3 blows oiaohm's mind with useless triviaFeb 23 05:18
oiaohmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WWII_M1_Carbine.jpg That is from that case. Is a m1 garand releation and yes it does have a clip for loading ammo.Feb 23 05:18

oiaohmThat you can remove ammo with as well.Feb 23 05:19
oiaohmBasically I was happy enough to leave word pick up alone.Feb 23 05:19
Diablo-D3oiaohm: m1 carbine is, as it states, a carbineFeb 23 05:19
Diablo-D3and its not related to the m1Feb 23 05:19
Diablo-D3though its quite obviously based on the m1 garandFeb 23 05:20
Diablo-D3the .30 carbine ammo used in that gun is basically a failureFeb 23 05:21
Diablo-D3you have about a third of the terminal impact force of the .30-06 springfieldFeb 23 05:21
oiaohmgarand has a clip and no mag.   carbine has both.  clip for rapid loading and unloading of mag and mag.Feb 23 05:22
Diablo-D3oiaohm: carbine doesnt have "both"Feb 23 05:22
oiaohmIt has a mag loading clip.Feb 23 05:23
shreddarI love stories like ned kelly. We have Harriet Tubman.Feb 23 05:23
Diablo-D3oiaohm: it has an overly complex magazine.Feb 23 05:23
oiaohmYep what kinda makes it a requirement.Feb 23 05:23
Diablo-D3and thats only some of themFeb 23 05:24
*FurnaceBoy continues doing taxesFeb 23 05:24
oiaohmThere are still a few weapons today with mag loading and unloading clips.Feb 23 05:24
Diablo-D3oiaohm: yup, but its not frequentFeb 23 05:24
Diablo-D3oiaohm: most use standard magazine designsFeb 23 05:24
oiaohmBasically the M1 Carbine is basically the half way between nightmare.Feb 23 05:25
Diablo-D3the ones that use the bastardized clip loading design are really en bloc clips that plugs into a boxFeb 23 05:25
Diablo-D3oiaohm: yupFeb 23 05:25
Diablo-D3but its not in the clip familyFeb 23 05:25
oiaohmIts the clip/mag familyFeb 23 05:26
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[jonobacon] Watching intro to Ground Control by Benjamin Humphrey in Lernid (also in #ubuntu-classroom) - be there!Feb 23 05:27
oiaohmFunny part was the logic behind the loading clip was to save time refilling the mags.Feb 23 05:27
Diablo-D3yup, which is hilariousFeb 23 05:27
Diablo-D3since filling a mag is damned simpleFeb 23 05:27
oiaohmThinking that the loading clip would more often jam in the mag it self.Feb 23 05:28
oiaohmSo costing even more time.Feb 23 05:28
Diablo-D3now whats really interesting isFeb 23 05:29
Diablo-D3all those kinds of bullets are sort of deadFeb 23 05:30
*shreddar has quit (Quit: sleep)Feb 23 05:30
Diablo-D3anything 7.62 sized is pretty much deadFeb 23 05:31
oiaohmOther than shot gun solids of course.Feb 23 05:32
Diablo-D3most militaries use 5.56 nato nowFeb 23 05:33
oiaohm5.56 with under mounted shell firer.Feb 23 05:33
oiaohmSo what the 5.56 will not do the shell well.Feb 23 05:33
oiaohmwillFeb 23 05:33
Diablo-D3oiaohm: try that again in englishFeb 23 05:34
oiaohmYou look at modern day weapons.  The 7.62 time range the guns are single barrel.  And they have to do all round.Feb 23 05:35
oiaohmNow the modern day ones are dual barrel of some form Diablo-D3Feb 23 05:36
Diablo-D3I have never seen a dual barrel ar-15 clone.Feb 23 05:36
oiaohmIe either under barrel morter or maul.Feb 23 05:36
oiaohmSmall ammouts of a way larger round.Feb 23 05:36
oiaohmSo if there is something 5.56 will have trouble with you have something larger to hit it with. Feb 23 05:38
oiaohmYou still find 7.62mm NATO in the snipper class riffles since it range.Feb 23 05:40
Diablo-D3wellFeb 23 05:45
Diablo-D3in many of those casesFeb 23 05:45
Diablo-D3you find even BIGGER stuffFeb 23 05:45

DaemonFCI spent the last 5 hours with a migraine watching all the pretty lights and occasionally waking up to puke all over the place on the way to the bathroom. I think that entire large salad came back up.Feb 23 09:46
oiaohmDoes patents really matter when the world is being flooded with fakes.  schestowitzFeb 23 09:46
DaemonFCI got lucky though, I thought I was about to go into a seizureFeb 23 09:47
oiaohmSo you were not smart enough to have a bucket with you while having migraine or did it just come on too fast.  DaemonFCFeb 23 09:48
DaemonFCwell, I've only ever had one other migraine and I didn't throw upFeb 23 09:49
DaemonFCthis one was like, I went to get water and take a couple pain pillsFeb 23 09:49
DaemonFCpuked in the sinkFeb 23 09:49
DaemonFCthat was fun to clean up, but after one shot there I ran to the toiletFeb 23 09:50
oiaohmSo lack of experience with migrainesFeb 23 09:50
DaemonFCyeahFeb 23 09:51
oiaohmYou just learnt the hard way.Feb 23 09:51
DaemonFCthe second time I had a mop bucket by my bedFeb 23 09:51
DaemonFCI think that was the other half of what I ate yesterdayFeb 23 09:51
oiaohmMigraines are sometimes triggered by something you ate.  Or it could just been that it was just in the wrong section of brain.Feb 23 09:52
oiaohmIe did you eat anything out of normal.Feb 23 09:52
DaemonFCjust a big salad off the pizza hut salad barFeb 23 09:52
DaemonFCbacon bits and onions taste better going downFeb 23 09:53

oiaohmI guess you have no eggsFeb 23 09:54
oiaohmScrambled eggs is not too bad on taste on the way back up if it don't stay down.Feb 23 09:55
DaemonFCI usually just eat fast foodFeb 23 09:55
oiaohmI cannot get away with that.  If I just eat fast food I end up sick in about 3 to 4 weeks.Feb 23 09:56
oiaohmThe trap of being lactose intolerant.   Ok not exactly intollerant.   I end up with a white cell count that make a aids person look healthy.Feb 23 09:57
oiaohmSo I guess you don't even have my backup food rice.  Ok not exactly the best to have to throw up but it better than starving.Feb 23 09:58

DaemonFCUbuntu: Out of tree patches for make glorious migraine for users.Feb 23 12:18
DaemonFC:)Feb 23 12:18
oiaohmFedora avoids patching where they can.Feb 23 12:18
oiaohmUpstreaming is a strict Fedora policy.Feb 23 12:18
oiaohmNon upstreaming of patches starts in Debian.Feb 23 12:19
DaemonFCyes, Fedora is usually more stable than Ubuntu, overallFeb 23 12:19
oiaohmGets worse in UbuntuFeb 23 12:19
DaemonFCthat's probably related to their aversion to gratuitous patchingFeb 23 12:19
DaemonFCThe only time a patch in Fedora is out of tree is when it's been submitted upstreamFeb 23 12:20
DaemonFCand the patch is dropped if upstream rejects itFeb 23 12:20
DaemonFCso rejected patches are not long lived, Fedora doesn't have a collection of thousands, like Debian/Ubuntu doesFeb 23 12:21
oiaohmFedora was not always that way.Feb 23 12:21
oiaohmRedhat learnt the leason the hardway.Feb 23 12:21

DaemonFCyes?Feb 23 12:21
DaemonFCWhy does Dbian persist?Feb 23 12:22
DaemonFC*DebianFeb 23 12:22
oiaohmDebian logic is a bit more sane than Ubuntu's.Feb 23 12:22
oiaohmDebian backports secuirty patches.Feb 23 12:22
DaemonFCwell, that makes senseFeb 23 12:23
oiaohmOn the logic that changing versions increase risk of breaking application compadiblitiy.Feb 23 12:23
DaemonFCupstreams support dies off much shorter than Deban releasesFeb 23 12:23
DaemonFCso that's justifiedFeb 23 12:23
oiaohmNot really.Feb 23 12:23
oiaohmItems that are  ABI compadible back porting patching is really taking risks.Feb 23 12:23

DaemonFCor GNOME 2.22Feb 23 12:23
DaemonFCor Firefox 3Feb 23 12:24
DaemonFCis Firefox 3 still in support?Feb 23 12:24
oiaohmFirefox 2 still has patches from mozillaFeb 23 12:24
DaemonFCI know a lot of what's in Debian is EOL upstreamFeb 23 12:24
DaemonFCso they have to patch it or upgrade itFeb 23 12:24
oiaohmLot that debian patches should be just upgraded.Feb 23 12:25
DaemonFCand they patch itFeb 23 12:25
oiaohmDue to the fact the newer version is ABI compadible.Feb 23 12:25
DaemonFCoiaohm, But then their goal of not ripping out the rug from under their users would be lostFeb 23 12:25
oiaohmAnd breaking of the patches will be the same as if they use the never version.Feb 23 12:25
oiaohmProblem is you still rip the rug out from under users feet.Feb 23 12:25
DaemonFCDebian releases are frozen barring bug fixes for a reasonFeb 23 12:25
oiaohmbackporting patches.Feb 23 12:26
oiaohmJust its harder for the user to see so.Feb 23 12:26
DaemonFCoiaohm, I imagine they can cherry pickFeb 23 12:26
DaemonFCthat's why they backport the patches that they needFeb 23 12:26
oiaohmEven so they regullary get it wrong.Feb 23 12:26
DaemonFCyou pull in Linux 2.6.32, you pull in lots of new bugsFeb 23 12:26
DaemonFCif you cerry pick critical patches, you are more stable long termFeb 23 12:27
DaemonFCI would thinkFeb 23 12:27
DaemonFC*cherryFeb 23 12:27
oiaohmNot really.Feb 23 12:27
oiaohmThe result is you end up with more and more unique code.Feb 23 12:27
DaemonFCI'd be more in favor of Debian as a server over FedoraFeb 23 12:27
DaemonFCbut Fedora makes a better desktopFeb 23 12:27
DaemonFCdesktop users constantly need new features, new drivers, etcFeb 23 12:28
oiaohmRedhat server or centos server does not have Fedora development patches.Feb 23 12:28
oiaohmSo are more stable.Feb 23 12:28
DaemonFCbut servers typically run for years in a known good configurationFeb 23 12:28
oiaohmThe more standard kernel at OS core the better ksplice can apply patches to it as well.Feb 23 12:29
DaemonFCyeah, RHEL is backportsFeb 23 12:29
DaemonFCsame principleFeb 23 12:29
oiaohmRHEL are selective.Feb 23 12:29
DaemonFCI know for sure that nobody is still supporting Linux 2.6.18 and GNOME 2.16 upstreamFeb 23 12:29
DaemonFCthat's all on Red HatFeb 23 12:29
oiaohmLike you will not patch like libpng or libjpeg due to the fact they are binary compadible.Feb 23 12:29
DaemonFCand they obviously have resources to handle thatFeb 23 12:29
oiaohmRedhat provides kernel updates for old distributions.Feb 23 12:30
oiaohmSo for support you would not be running 2.6.18Feb 23 12:30

schestowitz> Wouldn't it be a good idea to make phones that aren't like 'regular computers'.  The alleged rootkit demo  runs on the 'The Open Moku Freerunner' a Linux phone, so there is a rootkit out that will remotely install on this phone, without user action. If not then what ?Feb 23 21:53
schestowitz> "it runs Linux 2.6" says the video at 0:39 .. at 0:48 he sends a msg to the "infected" phone. If would be interesting to know how exactly the phone got infected in the first place. If the user installed this 'rootkit' on his own phone, it's hardly a compromise. One solutionFeb 23 21:53
schestowitz> would be to have a 'readonly' switch o nthe phone that prevents the system beign altered. A bit like those knockouts they used to have on cassette tapes :)Feb 23 21:53
