schestowitz<tessier> I still see plenty of packets bouncing off the firewall. But to no effect. The site has been solid for a few days now. Eventually I will put it behind some real firewalls and a webapp firewall etc.Jun 01 22:16

schestowitzThe new ads have just been publicly announced (press release). Google ads merely paid the hosting fees. We got DDOSed (almost 2 weeks now... still going in bursts) and moved to dedicated, so I hope to pay the hosting bill with these adsJun 02 16:28
schestowitzNewspapers are dying. This gives a form of indication where publishing goes as an activity worth of compensation to writers. Writing, to a large extent like code, becomes commodity. My point of view is that if writings promote something like PTS or enable some artists to perform in public, then the idea of having incentives to write remain. I do it for fun.Jun 02 16:31

schestowitz""On that note, I'll also comment on the latest BN troll wars.  It's rather amusing that they accuse you of a broad range of misbehaviours including libel, insulting the work of others and declaring someone guilty before it's proven.  I accuse them of hypocrisy -- doing exactly to you what they accuse you of doing to others. "Jun 12 15:50
schestowitz"They are rather inarticulate, have trouble supporting their arguments with evidence and have a propensity to take cheap shots.  When they talk about Mono, an old saying from the Microsoft v. US DOJ case comes to mind: "It's [Windows is] an operating system, not a religion." (Ted Waite, then CEO of Gateway.)  Or perhaps I should paraphrase Steve Ballmer: "Evangelists, evangelists, evangelists, evangelists, evangelists ..." :Jun 12 15:51

schestowitz"What you do" = Mono criticism.Jun 12 20:13
schestowitz"What you do" != acting like a lunatic and attacking people.Jun 12 20:13
schestowitzI am disgusted by people who smear via employers, having had people try to do this to me. Bear in mind that attacking someone in my first message to him ever is hard. I don't know who Fink is and if I attacked him, he'd potentially attack /me/ in public. Look how he's attacking everyone.Jun 12 20:13

schestowitzDon't misinterpret this and think about the context.Jun 12 20:13

schestowitzWhat the HECK are you talking about???Jun 12 20:37
schestowitzI never spoke to you before. I only now notice your message (quote). All you're doing is just incite people against me and the site by lying. Are you purposely doing this? Jun 12 20:37
schestowitzAt first I thought you were raising issues with Mono, but now you throw crap everywhere -- David and me included -- in order to flame and put everyone at risk.Jun 12 20:37

schestowitzNo, I never spoke to him before (unless he used some other nym). As I explained to David before (David and I exchanged like 10 messages but he only quotes _one_ in isolation to increase drama value), the reason I was not _attacking_ Fink in my (first-ever) message to him is that he's obviously foul-mouthed and aggressive, so I don't want him on my back, too. It's also hard to slam someone who have been saying good things aboJun 15 22:37
schestowitzut you.Jun 15 22:37
schestowitzI think "Fink" is misguided. He doesn't like Mono, but he's doing more harm to the cause than anything else.Jun 15 22:37
schestowitzAs I said before, people must stop thinking that everyone who links to the site has something to do with me. And he lied to David when he got scared, although I don't know the full story there.Jun 15 22:37
schestowitzNot everyone who links to Groklaw is 'pals' with PJ (even those who claim they are) and people who hang out in Slashdot are not necessarily buddies of Rob Malda.Jun 15 22:37
schestowitzThis is a mountain made out of not even a molehill. I've nothing to do with it and I've hated it from the start (as you'll find in IRC logs). It's damaging to everyone.Jun 15 22:37
schestowitzDavid looks for someone to blame. It's a shame that he picks me as a scapegoat. And if he wants to believe this, then he'll piece together some things that seemingly /fit/ the hypothesis and present them separately, without broader context.Jun 15 22:37

schestowitzHello:Jun 16 01:03
schestowitzI was the "anonymous" commenter who was trying to provide some balance and another point of view to the others in Herr Schlesinger's blog posting on the "Mark Fink" Ubuntu forums episode.  Of course, I am not convinced that you did condone Mark Fink, only that you didn't pay enough attention to him.Jun 16 01:03

schestowitzNo big deal, really, I can just read the logs, but wondered if it was a problem for anyone else, or if it's just me (always the biggest possibility, I know).Jun 20 15:57

schestowitzThat last one was hard.Jun 21 23:38
schestowitz==Jun 21 23:38
schestowitzBecause this one was so tough to decipher (it could just be my bad eyesight that's the problem, but still...) I hope at least one (or even better two or more) other people read this over.  I worked from a printout, using a magnifying glass, as well as  from the original PDF open on my screen...however, I also took that original PDF into Ado. Illustrator, locked the original image down and scraped the horrible layer of OCR gaJun 21 23:38
schestowitzrbage off of it, then enlarged the original image a bit, so I could reference that image too.  It made it slightly clearer to my old eyes...but I still had to squint and cuss at it a lot.  (who? Me? Cuss?  :o)Jun 21 23:38
schestowitzIn many places where the text in the original image was too hard to read in any of the reference copies, I just guessed at the word, and because the writer's style and phrasing was easy to grasp, I think I got a lot of it right. Jun 21 23:38
schestowitzHowever, I also understand that folks might see how bad the original scan is, and make a big deal out of BN posting a transcript that actually has words where, in the original, there's little more than a black smudge. Jun 21 23:38
schestowitzSo, it really really needs a group of people to proof-read it and make sure that I didn't over-correct the smudgy parts (did that make sense?). Jun 21 23:38
schestowitzAlso, I just realized that I left out the "Confidential" stamps and other ID stuff at the bottoms of the pages.  Sorry, my only excuse is eye and shoulder fatigue, and a slightly melted brain.  (I am going to take a nap now  :o) Jun 21 23:38
schestowitzAnyway, here it is, in all its gruesome glory:  plex_0411_A.PDF as text... Jun 21 23:38
schestowitz(It should certainly cause some interesting reactions when it's posted publically)Jun 21 23:38

schestowitzBetter one coming..Jun 21 23:38
schestowitzhttp://boycottnovell.com/2009/06/21/gimp-vs-fspot-in-ubuntu/ Canonical was hiring Microsoft employees and now they use Canonical to spread .NET in the form of Mono. They are hiring other Mono staff (gnome-do developer).Jun 22 00:16
schestowitz"Also, I was hoping that someone might be able to take a stab at figuring out the last five names listed at the top of the email.  I hate leaving those out of the published text. Jun 22 02:20
schestowitzThe people this email was sent to were likely the same people as other emails were sent to during that time period - the usual suspects, so to speak. Jun 22 02:20
schestowitzSo, after my nap I found another email list on the "px_0860.pdf" and DID match "mikehal" and "paulma" to the 5th and 6th names on plex 0411_A (see below).  I'm also reasonably sure that the last two names are "riscpc" and "steveb". Jun 22 02:20
schestowitzMaybe someone else can find a match for the fourth name "jonchimk" - it could also be "joechizok"?.  Do you, or any of the BN regulars know of any names of Microsoft people that might match/correct that one?  If not, then it probably shouldn't be included at all (just put stars in place of it).Jun 22 02:20
schestowitzAnyway, here's my guess at the names in the email list.Jun 22 02:20

trmanco<livingdaylight> i pulled all my .tomboy files and dropped them in .gnote AND it works!Jun 22 19:46
trmanco<mether> livingdaylight, yes, it would since gnote uses the same file formatJun 22 19:46
trmanco<livingdaylight> mether, yes... but there was a disclaimer, on the gnote website or somewhere that i read, so i was happy that it woked out niceJun 22 19:46
trmanco<mether> livingdaylight, disclaimer? can you point me to itJun 22 19:46
trmanco<livingdaylight> The file format is the same as Tomboy's Note Format. But there no warranties about Tomboy being able to read them. You have been warned.Jun 22 19:46
trmanco<livingdaylight> http://live.gnome.org/GnoteJun 22 19:46
trmanco<mether> livingdaylight, that means files created in gnote may not be read properly by Tomboy. the other way around should work just fineJun 22 19:46
trmanco<livingdaylight> i seeJun 22 19:46
trmanco<livingdaylight> if it is the same format why would it not work both ways? Why is it implying the risk is higher or existant only in one direction?Jun 22 19:46
trmanco<mether> well atleast a while backJun 22 19:46
trmanco<mether> there was a bugJun 22 19:46
trmanco<mether> with tomboy crashing on a minor date formatting differenceJun 22 19:46
trmanco<livingdaylight> what is 'syncing' ?Jun 22 19:46
trmanco<mether> copying notes between computersJun 22 19:46
trmanco<livingdaylight> i read that gnote devs are working on itJun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> i seeJun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> i hear C++ is a horrible language to program in?Jun 22 19:47
trmanco<mether> livingdaylight, obviously gnote developers disagree :-)Jun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> oh, i thought they might be doing it with gritted teeth, just to spite Tomboy...Jun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> i thought it was universally accepted as fact that C++ aint beautiful codeJun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> but maybe it is relative and it really suits someJun 22 19:47
trmanco<mether> livingdaylight, i dont think there is any spite involved and yes, different languages suit different purposes and tastes betterJun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> apparently mono makes nice tidy efficient codeJun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> mether, no spite? why go through the hassle of porting and recreating exactly the same application when it already exists and has a lot of active developers on it?Jun 22 19:47
trmanco<mether> livingdaylight, same reasons why you choose to use it?Jun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> don't follow you thereJun 22 19:47

trmancoah crapJun 22 19:47

trmanco<livingdaylight> trying it out, yesJun 22 19:47
trmanco<mether> why are you interestedJun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> all your leading questions will not necessarily apply to why they put in hours of hours recreating an applicationJun 22 19:47
trmanco<mether> maybe. maybe notJun 22 19:47
trmanco<mether> i am curious why you are trying it outJun 22 19:47
trmanco<livingdaylight> i'm curious why you don't think they are motivated by the fact that tomboy uses mono to invest a lot of time and energy recreating it... seems silly to deny that they are not motivated by some anti-mono agendaJun 22 19:47
trmanco<mether> livingdaylight, well, I guess you already made up your mind. so no use askingJun 22 19:48
trmanco<livingdaylight> well, you've not given me reason  and shared why you think otherwise, as you apparently doJun 22 19:48
trmanco<mether> how about you tell me why you are trying it out and I will tell you the other reasons whyJun 22 19:48
trmanco<livingdaylight> i'm just trying gnote coz its there-doesn't take me anytime to install itJun 22 19:48
trmanco<livingdaylight> i don't com into itJun 22 19:48
trmanco<mether> com?Jun 22 19:48
trmanco<livingdaylight> don't compare me taking two seconds to install something that is there with the hours and weeks of time to copy-cat an applicationJun 22 19:48
trmanco<livingdaylight> come... <---- you could figure it out, no?Jun 22 19:48
trmanco<mether> noJun 22 19:48

trmanco<hub> mether: unless you want to do a complete QA on the problem, the warning has to remainJun 22 19:49
trmanco<mether> hub, if you want me to test anything, I can. not sure what counts as complete QA. copying notes back and forth and editing them to test is relatively easyJun 22 19:49
trmanco<livingdaylight> mether, you could've just volunteered the articles in the first place... for which thx by the wayJun 22 19:49

MinceRa C64 did all that years before alreadyJun 23 13:08
MinceRfor lessJun 23 13:08
oiaohmIt kinda explains how everything got so badly screwed up.Jun 23 13:09
oiaohmEven today doing a history lesons I can find places for jobs.Jun 23 13:10
MinceRand the Sinclair QL did multitasking before jobs even knew what that was.Jun 23 13:11
oiaohmWith c64 and Sinclair history information shows how spoon feed the public was.Jun 23 13:12

oiaohmIt is so true vegan can stuff there diet up far more simply than meat eaters.Jun 23 13:14
MinceRi'm an omnivore but i found that pic funny/cool anywayJun 23 13:17
schestowitzCarnivore.. *LOL*Jun 23 13:18
oiaohmIf you want to go vegan the best people to talk to is buddhist monks they have only being doing it for a few thousand years without major problems.Jun 23 13:19
schestowitzDo they live long?Jun 23 13:25
oiaohmbuddhist monks on adverage have longer life spans than there near by populations.   Between fitness and diet and taking that serousally explains the difference.Jun 23 13:28
oiaohmTalking to them you find out that vegan is not a simple selection there are a lot of foods you have to eat in correct combintions to stay healthy with vegan.Jun 23 13:30
oiaohmBeing omnivore is a far simpler path.Jun 23 13:31
oiaohmMost of the correct combinations are to make differnet protens and the like in the body simpler to produce.  Meat and fish provide simpler solutions to get protens.Jun 23 13:33
MinceRand they taste good.Jun 23 13:34
oiaohmThey task good because you body is smart.  You eat meat body does not have to do complex processes to make particular things.Jun 23 13:36
oiaohmAlso buddhist monks if you put a plate with meat in front of them and you did not know better they will still eat it and politely ask that next time you provide them with a meal without meat even provide a few receipes.Jun 23 13:38
oiaohmSince they take it as there mistake for being served meat.Jun 23 13:39
MinceRwill they eat vat-grown meat once it's available?Jun 23 13:43
oiaohmThat is a interesting question.Jun 23 13:43
oiaohmthey have a issue with killing another living creature.   Since vat-grown meat may never been a living creature it might pass the rules of buddhists.Jun 23 13:44
MinceRindeedJun 23 13:44
MinceRthough i don't know how difficult it is to switch the human body from vegetarian to omnivore and back.Jun 23 13:45
oiaohmThey do have issues with gm altered foods.Jun 23 13:45
MinceRwhat's the issue with it?Jun 23 13:45
MinceRi know what my issue is, but i doubt it's the sameJun 23 13:45
oiaohmThere issue is they have guide books how to eat safely and gm alters foods in ways they have never seen before and cannot predict out for a life time.Jun 23 13:46
oiaohmSwitching human body from vegetarian to omnivore and back is not that hard.Jun 23 13:46
MinceR(my issue is that afaik GM foods are paired with a patented pest control chemical which makes the client locked to that provider)Jun 23 13:46
oiaohmNote buddhist are more worried there life span might be shorted by gm foods.Jun 23 13:47
MinceRi'm doubtful about such effectsJun 23 13:47
MinceRbut it isn't entirely unthinkableJun 23 13:47
MinceRif it was done right, GM foods could certainly be advantageous, but they aren't.Jun 23 13:48
oiaohmfor how control a vegetarian has to keep there diet to stay healthy the alterations in gm could stuff up there combinations of foods to eat to stay heathy.Jun 23 13:48
oiaohmIf you eat food made by buddist rules swapping is not that hard.   My biggest problem is I truly do crave meat.   Never been able to stay vegetarian long.Jun 23 13:49
oiaohmThe problem for buddhists is time it takes for them to confirm if something is safe or not.   Its like 50 to 60 years at least.  GM alterations are happening way faster than that.Jun 23 13:51
oiaohmBasically we don't know enough about how humans will process chemicals from food long term to predict the long term effects of GM.Jun 23 13:53
MinceRi don't see the point of the whole vegan thingJun 23 13:59
MinceRit's natural for animals to eat other animals.Jun 23 13:59
MinceRhumans are adapted to be omnivores.Jun 23 13:59
oiaohmBuddist monks where is religion based.  If you say you will not kill where do you draw the line.Jun 23 14:00
oiaohmHumans are also adapted to be able to last long times without meat as well.Jun 23 14:01
oiaohmJust that way takes more brians.Jun 23 14:01
MinceRi don't say i will not kill. :)Jun 23 14:01
oiaohmOut of all the people who live the vegan way about the only ones I get along with are the Buddists.Jun 23 14:02
MinceRi figure i'd get along with any vegan as long as they don't want to change me :)Jun 23 14:03
oiaohmBuddists don't try to change anyone.  If you choose to follow there path so be it.Jun 23 14:03
MinceRi've heard they're fine folksJun 23 14:04
MinceRat least compared to other religionsJun 23 14:04
MinceRs/other/most other/Jun 23 14:04
oiaohmAlso are nice about it.   They dont expect you to produce a special meal for then and the like.  If they know you wanting to do something particular they will even bring there own food.Jun 23 14:05
oiaohmThe push vegan that expects you do do them a a vegan meal  and a meal for everyone else pisses me off.Jun 23 14:06

schestowitz"It will be VERY interesting to see what responses there are to your complaint to the Commission.  I hope it kicks off a tidalwave of complaints, too many for the Commission to ignore. "Jun 26 00:09
schestowitz"It does seem that hostilities are warming up these days, doesn't it?  I remember how bad things got just before Vista was released, it's likely to be MUCH worse this time. Desperation makes them mean...isn't Win/Vista 7 due out in October?  MS's hired hands probably have a mandate to close as many secret deals as possible this summer, they've also got to kill as much uptake of ODF as possible."Jun 26 00:10
schestowitz"If I remember correctly, "7" was originally due out in early 2010, but the date was pulled back to fall of '09.  When I heard it I thought to myself that it's their attempt to overshadow Ubuntu's next release.  I also think a lot of the escalating pro-mono hostility is aimed at killing the Koala for MS, from the inside.  It's all quite ugly, but also fascinating (and infuriating!) to watch."Jun 26 00:10
schestowitz"I believe that's why making Comes V MS exhibits available to the world, in searchable format, is extremely important.  Those documents are like a road map that very clearly shows the anti-competitive path MS has taken.  I love those exhibits because they explain in plain language that ordinary people can understand."Jun 26 00:10
schestowitz"Plus it's very easy to point to current behavior and compare it to those old documents, and show people how very relevant and effective those "old" strategies still are.  If MS think their customers don't care, they are very mistaken."Jun 26 00:10

schestowitzGood news. Comes comes handy.Jun 30 20:00
schestowitz"There's what could be a wealth of historical information in civil case court exhibits. Unfortunately, in the federal court system, one year after a case is no longer subject to further appeal, the court clerks send around notices to the parties. The notices inform them that it is time to archive the case records and that they're going to destroy the exhibits.Jun 30 20:00
schestowitzThey give the parties something like 30 days to pick up their own exhibits if they want to keep them. Suspect that the system is a bit different on the criminal side of case records since an imprisoned defendant may always file for a writ of habeas corpus that would revive the need for the court to review the record of the case leading to conviction and sentencing.Jun 30 20:00
schestowitzOr at least that's the way it worked at the time of my retirement. May be changing now that documents can be filed in electronic format. Can't remember whether it was in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or in 28 U.S.C., but there were also rules about whose case exhibit records become the official record should a case be revived after the court's copies of exhibits are destroyed.Jun 30 20:00
schestowitzI recall that in cases in which the government was a party, it's the Feds' copies of exhibits that become the court record's exhibits.Jun 30 20:00
schestowitzWhich is probably why DoJ has the U.S. v. Microsoft case trial exhibits archived on its web site.Jun 30 20:00
schestowitzBut the sheer volume of historical records removed from the public domain by destruction of case exhibits is nothing short of staggering, the kind of stuff that records how people actually behave rather than the facade they project to the world. Destruction of court records should be a felony crime, in my book.Jun 30 20:00
schestowitzFor example, historians' largest body of written evidence of what life was like in the first century or so of the Massachusetts Bay Colony is the court records that survived. They're frustratingly terse, somewhat akin to a modern clerk's docket entries. Ditto for the history of medieval England.Jun 30 20:00
