schestowitz | Thanks so much! I thought it was atrocious. Today I did an interview for Swiss and French television (http://www.tv5.org/ ), maybe US too. They were actually on my side, so I was calm and I could lay out the answers clearly. It lasted 3-4 hours and it was a lot of fun. I never listen to my show on FLOSS Weekly after they had recorded it. It was an embarrassment (to me at least). | Feb 01 22:07 |

schestowitz | > Jeff goes from divide and conquer to flat out ass. You raised the alarm early, while the Microsoft people and Miguel were pushing Mono dependencies into Gnome and GNU/Linux distributions. You did it politely and carefully. Jeff rudely called that a "conspiracy theory" and you an ignorant controversy generator. As evidence of that he offered that Red Hat and others were happy to ship mono.\ | Feb 02 12:08 |
schestowitz | > Years later, those distributions have stripped mono out and your conclusions were backed by the FSF and RMS, who were then abused by Gnome loudmouths. Thank you for raising the alarm before more damage was done. Even though you got a technical detail or two wrong, your big picture analysis was right and Jeff was a tool who now openly makes fun of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Women with pictures of women's rear ends. | Feb 02 12:08 |

schestowitz | must consult with others on the matter. Would this be translated from the source language of (???) into what other language here? I'm thinking you want Chinese simplified into English?

schestowitz | "Also, just so you know, When writing Hokkien in Chinese characters, it's not possible to always use existing characters, which means there isn't going to be an available character encoded in Unicode, thus creating problems when using character encoding sets that computers depend upon for written language. You should understand, that Hokkien, like Cantonese, Korean hanja, Vietnamese chữ nôm and Japanese kanji also have this | Feb 05 15:37 |

schestowitz | Excellent! Hey, how about we create a "cartoon" category and put in it some weekly/monthly image about FOSS? Can you draw Ballmer and Gates caricatures? :-) | Feb 11 12:44 |

schestowitz | "I've attached an HTML version of the French translation of the introduction page. Judging by how many "[en]" (English) marks I had to put beside the links, there is a lot of work to be done. I may be sending you translations of other pages, as they seem to be pretty moderately sized. On a totally different topic, my father (who prides himself on being a political conservative) just sent me a message today warning me about | Feb 12 02:49 |
schestowitz | drinking milk with rBGH. I replied by giving him the links to the "Patent for a Pig" video series, which I find to be compelling. It seems to be one of the things we agree on politically. Thanks for publishing that. It also gives a pretty startling introduction to the insane situation of "intellectual property". " | Feb 12 02:49 |

schestowitz | [03:56] <FurnaceBoy> it's funny, when daemonfc talks about censorship | Feb 12 03:59 |
schestowitz | [03:57] <FurnaceBoy> i censor my tweets because i work with americans | Feb 12 03:59 |
schestowitz | [03:57] <FurnaceBoy> half of my team would be offended if i spoke my mind | Feb 12 03:59 |
schestowitz |  | Feb 12 04:00 |
schestowitz | [03:57] <FurnaceBoy> so i can't say that i don't censor myself | Feb 12 04:00 |
schestowitz | [03:57] <FurnaceBoy> i hope to move to europe and simply stop listening to the US | Feb 12 04:00 |
schestowitz | [03:57] <FurnaceBoy> it's been a really painful 8.5 years | Feb 12 04:00 |
schestowitz | [03:58] <FurnaceBoy> and moreso the 7 years since the iraq invasion | Feb 12 04:00 |

schestowitz | This sounds dubious: | Feb 17 14:33 |
schestowitz | The Telford MP apologised for the comment but said it had been "tinkered with" to make it "more offensive". | Feb 17 14:33 |
schestowitz | Wright told the BBC that this was a legitimate "edgy Twitter comment about the political process" and the Tories' "general policy position". | Feb 17 14:33 |
schestowitz | But he insisted he never used the phrase "scum-sucking", saying his account had been hacked into and the phrase added by someone after the message was published. Wright has taken the comment down and has asked Twitter to investigate it. | Feb 17 14:33 |

schestowitz | [04:46] <DeadSuperHero> As you may know, Ubuntu is integrating the 7Digital Music service into Rhythmbox in their upcoming Lucid Lynx release. | Feb 21 08:13 |
schestowitz | [04:46] <DeadSuperHero> Currently, this music service offers some tracks in FLAC, all tracks in MP3, and none in OGG. | Feb 21 08:13 |
schestowitz | [04:46] <DeadSuperHero> I started a petition to make them possibly consider using OGG on all their tracks. I started the petition today, so it's still really young, but I was wondering if you could help support it. | Feb 21 08:13 |
schestowitz | [04:47] <DeadSuperHero> You can find it here: http://www.petitiononline.com/ovsi7ds/petition.html | Feb 21 08:13 |
