Month: November 2009

• No we won’t migrate to OpenOffice.org or GNU/Linux because of user training is a bullshit argument. Just look at the deployments of office07 #
• @jwildeboer what imaginary numbers? #
• No user training at all in most places. If this happens with your tax money, SUE! #
• @jwildeboer oh… that looks like an imaginary number indeed. surveys are not the best tools for that analysis. #
• ♻ @boingboing Britain’s new Internet law — as bad as everyone’s been saying, and worse. Much, much worse. – BoingBoing http://bit.ly/2uuXrG #

• “Hi dad…” nice twist this week on Dexter… 🙂 #

• Governo português quer criar chip espião nas viaturas http://diario2.com/vem-ai-as-portagens-virtuais-3213 inclui GPS => FASCISMO. #
• Estou estupefacto por um governo socialista (dito “esquerda”) querer impor uma medida totalitária de controlo dos movimentos dos cidadãos. #
• Esquerda ou Direita, este tipo de medidas é de um inaceitável desejo de controlo dos cidadãos. #
• Espero que a maioria de oposição impeça o avanço desta medida, muito mais importante que outros fait divers #
• Is !fedora 12 out, yet? 🙂 #
• Indeed it is! ♺ @ufa: !fedora 12 released: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_one_page_release_notes / #

• This weekend I saw a Nokia N900. Too bad it is in practice proprietary software because it’s a really interesting device. #
• The screen, however, even though it has a large resolution (800×480), is a phone-size small screen. Too small for a good reading. #
• But it is a powerfull computer that fits your pocket. Computer => should run Free Software. Which is why I won’t be buying a N900. #
• ♺ @rcweir: ODF 1.2, Part 3 goes out for public review http://bit.ly/4Gns5N #odf #

• I’d love to take a shiny brand new F12 DVD iso with me tomorrow. Can I haz !fedora 12 please? kthnxby #

• @gijs sadly I don’t read sweedish, could you give us the gist of it, please? #
• @jwildeboer funny how they *only* apologise to their customers (what about the authors who where “raped” — using BSA newspeak? :)) #
• @gijs yes, danish, thank you very much 🙂 #
• @gijs they could have ISO OOXML because they’re changing the standard to be equal to Microsoft Office, by *discarding* some changes. #
• @gijs changes decided in the BRM! It’s like them breaking their expectations in stock, if they decrease them along the year, success! #

• Good news, new !elmdentica release maybe this weeked. Bad news: perhaps only for yet unreleased new !shr unstable 🙂 #
• @luish nada de estranho, !ubuntu é um !GNU / !Linux enquanto que !Linux é um kernel 😉 #
• Yeah, gave up on a few bc of it ♺ @rhk: Why doesn’t #wordpress plugins & themes clearly state the licence at http://wordpress.org/extend/ #
• just found out gwibber has a bug I fixed half an hour ago in !elmdentica 😉 #

• @sanjayankur why… because I don’t want “tests” on the machine that will get !Fedora 12 🙂 #
• Ahahaha absolute idiots want to use Microsoft’s DRM. How funny now that Microsoft Cofee has been leaked all over the Internet ]:-> #

• Have a problem with a Huawei E169, not sure if it’s a !ubuntu #karmic or hardware device. No other machine to try, suggestions? #
• @jwildeboer no other machine here includes no other iso. found a Linux upstream regression bug about this, maybe F12 also suffers from it! #
• It seems there’s an alleged fix in a #karmic -proposed repo. Let’s try it out. #
• Oh…. the slow network 🙁 #
• Proposed !ubuntu linux-image update worked for me! #
