Chips_B_Malroycould be a big storyMar 13 00:42
Chips_B_Malroy"In a ruling released this week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elliott Myers certified the action on behalf of "all persons in British Columbia who, on or after Jan. 1, 1994, indirectly acquired a licence for Microsoft operating systems and/or Microsoft applications software for their own use."Mar 13 00:43
Chips_B_Malroy"That covers pretty well everyone who bought a personal computer, or Microsoft Word or Exel, in the province since 1994, the plaintiffs' lawyer, J.J. Camp, of Camp Fiorante Matthews, said in an interview. That includes governments as well as banks and other organizations that would have bought thousands of computers, he said. "It's a very substantial number."Mar 13 00:44
Chips_B_MalroyThis could be the start of cases like the ones the States here continued after the DOJ settlement.  But in other countries, provinces, etc.  Image how many countries, and or class action lawsuits there could be around the world wanting to happen.Mar 13 00:46

oiaohmModern video card.Mar 13 04:54
cubezzzah, yes that would be a big helpMar 13 04:55

cubezzzis the video card more important?Mar 13 04:57
*lantizia has quit (Quit: Leaving)Mar 13 04:57
oiaohmKDE 4 is really designed to use video card.Mar 13 04:57
oiaohmWithout a good video card can drop a lot of load back on cpu.Mar 13 04:57
cubezzzhmmm there's AGP 8x Mar 13 04:57
oiaohmI am not talking something that great.Mar 13 04:57
cubezzznot sure if this old motherboard can use thatMar 13 04:57
oiaohmLike a 4 year old NvidiaMar 13 04:57

oiaohmBut something from the P3 550 time frame is basically ball less.Mar 13 04:58
cubezzzI see :)Mar 13 04:58
cubezzzI was always wondering if they was a hardware assisted encode AND decodeMar 13 04:59
cubezzzthen I could keep the p3 forever Mar 13 04:59
oiaohmglsl shader support from mesa also suxed.Mar 13 04:59
oiaohmIe kde 4 exploits glsl shaders as well.Mar 13 04:59
oiaohmThat is basically the problem with KDE and old machines.   No dencent video card forces the usage of mesa that has for years sux.  So performance hurts.Mar 13 05:01

sebsebseboiaohm: indeedMar 13 23:28
Omar87oiaohm, exactly.Mar 13 23:28
oiaohmOpen source companies are more likely to play fairMar 13 23:28
oiaohmAnd not to try to black mail you for money.Mar 13 23:28
sebsebseboiaohm: yeahMar 13 23:29
oiaohmInstead try to offer a service of some form.  Mar 13 23:29
Omar87oiaohm, for example, I don't think Google are doing what they're doing based on a "good deed".Mar 13 23:29
oiaohmProblem is if they made configuration simple they would not sell the service.Mar 13 23:29
sebsebseboiaohm: That's what Ubuntu are starting to do,  Ubuntu One in 9.10, but  music store in 10.04 as well.Mar 13 23:29
oiaohmIn some cases.Mar 13 23:29
oiaohmI just prefer todo business with open source companinesMar 13 23:30
oiaohmYou are not looking around to see where the black mailer is as much.Mar 13 23:30
sebsebsebOmar87: yeah Google do stuff for a profit as wellMar 13 23:30
MinceRsebsebseb: Carlin is worth knowing :)Mar 13 23:30
sebsebsebOmar87: Google are really about making a profitMar 13 23:30
Omar87oiaohm, but I would understand that. 'coz even open source companies need to make some money, ya know.Mar 13 23:31
sebsebsebGoogle just happen to have some interesting servicesMar 13 23:31
Omar87sebsebseb, true.Mar 13 23:31
oiaohmThe few companies you can trust.  Are companies supporting open source because they need the software to work for them.Mar 13 23:31
Omar87sebsebseb, and if they ever get the realization that their current business model ain't taking them any further, they would definitely change it.Mar 13 23:32
oiaohmIe they have no interest in you so no harm can come your direction from them.Mar 13 23:32
Omar87Omar87, I mean Google.Mar 13 23:33
sebsebseboiaohm: yeah I guess we can't really trust goverments fully either,  because they have an interset in us average people as well,  not just the serious criminalsMar 13 23:33
sebsebseboiaohm: they might come up with a law, that loads of us don't agree withMar 13 23:33
sebsebsebfor exampleMar 13 23:33
oiaohmGoogle business model is working perfectly.  Omar87Mar 13 23:33
oiaohmGoogle money comes mostly from advertisingMar 13 23:33
Omar87oiaohm, I know. But I'm just saying "If things change"Mar 13 23:34
oiaohmGoogle is supporting andriod to get more people so more advertising dollars.Mar 13 23:34
oiaohmSo yes google has interest in US.Mar 13 23:34
sebsebseboiaohm: well I don't really follow polotics,  and what I just typed didn't seem to come out right, but  some laws will effect us as people,  and ones that aren't always properly fair.Mar 13 23:34
Omar87oiaohm, I don't think they have any interest in Open Source for any reason other than being the counterpart of M$'s monopolistic proprietary one.Mar 13 23:35
sebsebseboiaohm: and some things  goverments might agree on  are stupid, for example the USA with it's software patentsMar 13 23:35
oiaohmGoogle does have an interesting in open source purely from a business point of view.Mar 13 23:35
oiaohmIf google had to pay for MS or other OS's they could not afford todo business.Mar 13 23:36
Omar87oiaohm, exactly. So, it's all about business.Mar 13 23:36
oiaohmA collection of developers in wine come from Google.  Omar87Mar 13 23:36
oiaohmSame with a lot of other projects.Mar 13 23:36
oiaohm20 percent of main developers time at google get to go into experments.Mar 13 23:37
sebsebsebOmar87: yep money this that and the other,  money can make good things happen, but  lack of money will also stop good things from happening,  and money of course can do rather bad things as wellMar 13 23:37
Omar87And if they ever get to a point where open source ain't doing any good anymore, they will dump it for sure.Mar 13 23:37
oiaohmUnlikely Omar87Mar 13 23:37
oiaohmWhat is the main advantage of open source.Mar 13 23:38
sebsebseboiaohm: for companiesMar 13 23:38
sebsebseboiaohm: money being saved?Mar 13 23:38
sebsebsebloads of money being saved?Mar 13 23:38
oiaohmMain advanage is more developers working on the code.Mar 13 23:38
oiaohmThis applies to everyone.Mar 13 23:38
oiaohmSo bugs can be fixed faster.Mar 13 23:38
Omar87oiaohm, I am saying "IF". I'm not talking about Open Source itself. I'm currently discussing Google's view towards it.Mar 13 23:38
sebsebsebOmar87: Google like Apple, use open source to make money,  Google are just a lot more friendly to open source, than Apple isMar 13 23:39
oiaohmLike at moment google is trying to get there servers internal code alined with mainline kernel Omar87Mar 13 23:39
Omar87sebsebseb, that's right.Mar 13 23:39
oiaohmBecause maintaining a branch alone eats up huge ammounts of man power Omar87Mar 13 23:39
Omar87oiaohm, agreed.Mar 13 23:40
oiaohmSimple fact open source is cost effectiveMar 13 23:40
oiaohmand the maths of that never will change.Mar 13 23:40
sebsebsebOmar87: Microsoft may have bought loads of software out from other companies, right, but as far as I know all of that was closed source software anyway?   Where as Apple  took loads of open source, and then did their own stuff with it.   So in this way,  Apple are actsualley worse than Microsoft really?Mar 13 23:40
oiaohmNo some of the greatest things MS has aquired started live open source sebsebsebMar 13 23:41

oiaohmA few times IBM has got into trouble for taking out patents on open source projects.  But every time it turned out that IBM had done it with the approval of the project and had listed the patent as being taken out by IBM but owning to the project.Mar 13 23:49
oiaohmSome companies do the right thing.  Lots don't.Mar 13 23:50
Omar87oiaohm, this adds to the fact that the patenting system altogether is a charade.Mar 13 23:51
oiaohmPatent system has not worked for centories.Mar 13 23:51
Omar87oiaohm, has *never* worked, to be more accurate. :)Mar 13 23:52
oiaohmOk it has worked better.Mar 13 23:53
Omar87oiaohm, for example, I see no reason whatsoever why we should be thankful to Thomas Edison for inventing the lightbulb.Mar 13 23:53
oiaohmThese days people can patent items that don't exist.Mar 13 23:53
oiaohmTo be correct Thomas Edison never invented the lightbulb he made it workable.Mar 13 23:53
Omar87oiaohm, but then he patented it, right?Mar 13 23:54
oiaohmThere was a way older lightblub that just did not put out a lot of light.Mar 13 23:54
oiaohmHe patented the process of making a glass container with a inerert gas.Mar 13 23:54
DaemonFC<DaemonFC> Georgie, It's cheaper to hire Tom Cruise to write down every packet and carry it to the router himself than it is to buy the XBOX 360 antenna, and probably faster.Mar 13 23:55
DaemonFCB-)Mar 13 23:55
DaemonFCthere's my jab for the dayMar 13 23:55
Omar87oiaohm, but that's not an invention now, is it?Mar 13 23:55
oiaohmIt was back then.  Omar87 some others has used a burning matterial to use up the O2 but in the process you could explode the blub.Mar 13 23:56
Omar87oiaohm, I mean, it's just like taking someone else's mac. and cheese recipe, adding some more salt to it, and then claiming that the recipe is mine.Mar 13 23:56
oiaohmBack then there has to be a real item that could be demoed for patent.  Omar87Mar 13 23:57
Omar87oiaohm, I see.Mar 13 23:57
oiaohmThese days dream something up put it on patent never make it and you can take out a patent.Mar 13 23:57
oiaohmThere have been some laws caught doing exactly that Omar87Mar 13 23:58
Omar87oiaohm, I know.Mar 13 23:58
oiaohmBasically the system is broken.Mar 13 23:58
oiaohmIdea of the patent system is to assist the recovery of r&d costs.Mar 13 23:58
oiaohmBut that r&d has been done should be confirms as well as by who.Mar 13 23:59
Omar87oiaohm,  one famous story is how Bill Gates recently was so drunk he dreamt of a way to fight tornadoes by heating the water and shores.Mar 13 23:59
Omar87And he simply got a nice little patent for that. :PMar 13 23:59
