Omar87the water *at the* shores.Mar 14 00:00
oiaohmBasically if the patent system works right is not that harmful.Mar 14 00:00
oiaohmIts annoying but not that harmful.Mar 14 00:00
oiaohmCurrent patent system is very harmful.Mar 14 00:00
Omar87oiaohm,  the problem is that anything at all can simply get a patent. No matter what it is.Mar 14 00:01
Omar87oiaohm, I heard a long time ago, that IBM have a collection of patents for some extremely silly stuff.Mar 14 00:01
DaemonFC"- In certain scenarios, an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message does not automatically tune to the appropriate channel in Windows Media Center." In the event of severe weather, your set top box will turn to the Pay Per View pr0n channel. Here's something to die to. Thanks for buying Microsoft products. :Mar 14 00:02
DaemonFC:)Mar 14 00:02
oiaohmIBM has a competion for the most stupid patent got in a year.  Omar87Mar 14 00:02
Omar87The problems start when these extremely silly stuff actually involve someone else's business.Mar 14 00:02
Omar87oiaohm, :PMar 14 00:02
oiaohmBut it must be a real device they have created.  Omar87Mar 14 00:02
oiaohmOr a real thing they can do.Mar 14 00:03
Omar87oiaohm, regardless, it's gotta be extremely silly in order to win the "most stupid patent" championship. :PMar 14 00:04
oiaohmIBM really does it to laugh at the patent regularors.Mar 14 00:05
Omar87Anyways..Mar 14 00:05
oiaohmAnd to the annoyance of the regulators most of them are valid.Mar 14 00:05
Omar87Buenos noches everyone!Mar 14 00:05

oiaohmJust be aware of that sebsebsebMar 14 00:09
sebsebseboiaohm: well  I got on to it from Linux TodayMar 14 00:09
sebsebsebalso once I did Windows Media Player 10/11 or  10 and then upgraded to 11. in WineMar 14 00:10
sebsebsebI think I followed instructions from that siteMar 14 00:10
sebsebseblater on that Wine install or whatever you want to call it didn't work properly, and I was basically told that I  shoudn't of used the instructions I had followedMar 14 00:10
sebsebsebas for the why I did WMP  in Wine in the first place thing,  just, because I couldMar 14 00:11
sebsebsebto try you knowMar 14 00:11
sebsebsebnot that I actsualley wanted to use WMP  in  Ubuntu properly.Mar 14 00:11
sebsebsebgot on to that article  from Linux Today the Solaris Office 2007 oneMar 14 00:12
sebsebseboiaohm: loads of people want to use a Linux distro like WindowsMar 14 00:13
oiaohm Just had to tell you.  Least number of people I have to save from hell the better in #winehqMar 14 00:13
sebsebsebjust without the viruses and suchMar 14 00:13
sebsebseboiaohm: oh you help out in there?Mar 14 00:13
oiaohmReally using wine is partly inviting virusesMar 14 00:13
oiaohmYes I do help out there.  sebsebsebMar 14 00:13
sebsebsebwell yeah they can partly run in Wine or fully run depending on the virusMar 14 00:13
sebsebsebhow come you help out in there?Mar 14 00:13
oiaohmI designed the support people recruiting system.  sebsebsebMar 14 00:13

sebsebsebgiving bad advice?Mar 14 00:15
oiaohmWost case of burn out was vitatim.  Where he had op and started just banning people asking bad questions.Mar 14 00:15
oiaohmNormally turning majorally insulting.Mar 14 00:15
oiaohmResult is people fearing to ask questions and the support system fails.Mar 14 00:16
oiaohmBasically good support structs don't happen without work.  sebsebsebMar 14 00:16

DaemonFCthe only difference in Firefox on Ubuntu an Iceweasel in Debian is the branding packageMar 14 05:10
WireWulfmmhmmMar 14 05:10
DaemonFCUbuntu doesn't even have to maintain Firefox in Jaunty themselvesMar 14 05:11
sebsebsebDaemonFC: 8.10 will go end of life when 10.04 comes out or around then :(  such a good release, except for how ethernet woudn't work on other computer.  then 9.04 going end of life hrm.  9.04  not that bad either,  altough I didn't like the thing on top right, edited fusa, that removed shut down and log out from system menu when there.  Also I have put this kind of thing loads of times on IRC before.Mar 14 05:11
DaemonFCDebian Lenny uses Firefox 3.0 tooMar 14 05:11
DaemonFC:PMar 14 05:11
sebsebsebDaemonFC: Right so Debian has to figure out what security fixe's need done.Mar 14 05:11
DaemonFC8.04 won't go EOL on the desktop until April of 2011Mar 14 05:12
DaemonFC8.04 Server lives until 2013Mar 14 05:12
sebsebsebDaemonFC: I put 8.10 not 8.04,  and oh right yeah that's a point,  8.04 uses Firefox 3.0 as well?Mar 14 05:12
DaemonFCbut if you install any of the packages that are not server related, those parts of the system are EOLMar 14 05:12
sebsebsebDaemonFC:  indeedMar 14 05:13
DaemonFCso even though the desktop dies in 2011, you might still be offered updates for anything in the base systemMar 14 05:13
DaemonFCwhich is funnyMar 14 05:13
WireWulflolMar 14 05:13
sebsebsebDaemonFC: yeah it's a bit daft reallyMar 14 05:14
sebsebsebDaemonFC: I think an LTS should go end of life on the desktop whenMar 14 05:14
sebsebsebwellMar 14 05:14
sebsebseb12.04 comes outMar 14 05:14
sebsebseb8.04 should go end of life when 12.04 comes outMar 14 05:14
sebsebsebthen people can skip an LTS :DMar 14 05:14
sebsebsebjust upgrade through itMar 14 05:14
DaemonFCso if you're running a server without any desktop related things like an X server or a desktop environment, you get 5 yearsMar 14 05:15
DaemonFC:PMar 14 05:15
DaemonFCI think that's stupidMar 14 05:15
sebsebsebDaemonFC: 10.04 seems like one that if I was running a business, well I so woudn't want to upgrade to, from what I have seen from developmentMar 14 05:15
DaemonFCWindows Server gets 10 years, the whole systemMar 14 05:15
sebsebsebDaemonFC: on the desktop that isMar 14 05:15
DaemonFCRHEL gets 7 yearsMar 14 05:15
sebsebsebDaemonFC: 10.04  I won't be able to just recommend to loads of home users, without mentioning other distros as well,  becasue of what I have seen from developmentMar 14 05:16
DaemonFCI wouldn't use Ubuntu ServerMar 14 05:16
DaemonFCmeans you have to upgrade more than twice as oftenMar 14 05:16
sebsebsebDaemonFC: so yeah if they want to do silly things on the computer  such as Facebook,  well I will probably recommend Ubuntu to them, but if they don't I will probably recommend Mandriva instead :)Mar 14 05:16
sebsebsebDaemonFC: as for business desktops,  10.04 is so not itMar 14 05:17
sebsebsebas for a server, well yeah, Debian, or Redhat, or CentOSMar 14 05:17
sebsebsebsometimes other distros even that aren't UbuntuMar 14 05:17
sebsebsebor Ubuntu basedMar 14 05:18
sebsebsebDaemonFC: 10.04 offers  new home user features,  and the standard new stuff, such as kernel and xorg,  but in the desktop version I don't see anything proper that is for business's.  So those business's that are running Ubuntu 8.04 may as well just stay with that for even longer.  Or start looking into using another distro instead.Mar 14 05:19
sebsebsebDaemonFC: Anyway it's just gone past mid night for you hasn't it?  So  a bit late to eat?   Also  what was that about your naighbour?  Plus heh heh ha ha,  if your evolution is in EN GB :DMar 14 05:20
