Year: 2010

• @freemor: thanks to a friend with a multimeter and a generic charger I found out it was the power cord instead. my !olpc is working 🙂 #
• @forteller I hope it’s not half as memory hungry as in current releases, or it’ll be the death of it in mobile usage #
• ♺ @glynmoody: MS Fails the Standards Test http://bit.ly/9oZlV5 coming from someone who played a big part in ISO process, this is big #ooxml #
• @glynmoody I suppose there is a huge number of «I told you so»s has come up on many minds… #
• «at a crossroads, (…) without a change of direction the entire #OOXML project is now surely heading for failure» Alex Brown #
• http://tr.im/U7dZ «at a crossroads, () without a change of direction the entire #OOXML project is now surely heading for failure» Alex Brown #
• «Standards can be withdrawn at any time if that is the will of the Countries that participate …» Alex Brown #

• US Pres w/unprecedented power to issue nation-wide blackout/restriction on websites without congressional approval, oversight, explanation. #
• @openuniverse I don’t think this is reason for impeachment, but it’s another clear sign that «democracy is corrupt» (via Leonard Cohen) #
• ♺ @jneves: momento WTF do dia: Plano Técnológico da Educação enviou para escolas computadores às centenas c/ Vista. não se liga a um domínio #
• ♺ @jerezim: #ACTA people!Please help commenting/highlighting the key points of the 20100118 leak on http://ur1.ca/si30 #
• @support @davidp looks like a smart spammer (even adds tags), but will you just look at it’s website… doesn’t it look like one? #
• This morning my !olpc xo 1 with !fedora 11 ran out of battery while on. now it doesn’t even charge. Help! #
• ♺ @bigbrovar: ♻ @SirajSoft’>@SirajSoft: HOT NEWS :: Meego now available for Download for Nokia !N900 #
• I wonder if it’s a free software phone now, or still a proprietary os … #
• I doupt the hardware got any friendlier towards free software but it sure would be nice if it did . #
• @freemor: thanks , I’ll check it out right away ! #
• @freemor: it would seem my !olpc motherboard needs replacement oh what a sad day 🙁 #

• ♺ @glynmoody: US #GenePatents Thrown Out: Software Patents Next? – http://bit.ly/aoy8xI rolling back the patent lawyers’ tricks #swpats #
• @bugabundo não terem nenhum iPay (não é typo) grande na loja da 5ª Avenida na semana passada é, para mim, sinal q não estão prontos 🙂 #
• over & out #

• #OpenSSL is 1.0.0 today. Congratulations 🙂 #
• @yamanickill It will surely be much shorter than watever piece of crapware turned Free Software coming from NVidia 🙂 #
• @x1101 better idea: how about selecting hardware that supports and/or is supported by Free Software? #
• Yay, !fedora 12 used to suspend so well on this laptop, not any longer… which fscking updated borked it? 😐 Now it’s panic everytime 😐 #
• @lopo possivelmente 🙂 #

• @jwildeboer thought XBMC could display DLNA sources, but I have none to try. #
• @jwildeboer well, it’s an excellent media server (video and audio too), so not just picture viewer. #
• I erased a lot of users from my blog. They all looked just like spam accounts, but if I’ve missed you by accident, use a more clear account. #
• @playya gnome-autogen.sh removed from !elmdentica #thx for insisting! #
• @jwildeboer The web without flash and it’s puny attempt of replacement (silverlie) is SO MUCH BETTER! 😀 #
• @jwildeboer perhaps the gnash team would be the best suited one 🙂 #
• @jwildeboer I’m with you on that 🙂 #tnparty #website #
• @jwildeboer So what you want to have is verified accounts, not end of anonymous 🙂 #
• @jwildeboer me too, but that is the price for protecting the honest people that can be punished by the dishonest people. #
• @jwildeboer at my free software blog I “fix” that by having much more strict spam check rules for non registered users. #
• @jwildeboer well, yes it really exists unless you control all variables. It’s not easy, sometimes, and it can be a real hassle, but possible #
• @jwildeboer ok, now you lost me… «Think of the children» is now an approved argument? 🙂 #
• @jwildeboer yes, I know, but it is also a fact that «think of the children» has never been anything but a slippery slope getting worse b/day #
• @jwildeboer all have limits, so I say go for it if you mean ending anonymous comments in the places you control because y reached yr limit #
• @jwildeboer but you seem to defend end of anonimous information, and that only weakens the good guys who are scared 🙂 #
• @jwildeboer I point out that I never called you anything of the sort 🙂 #
• @jwildeboer you should really read the link @jmcesteves sent: http://tr.im/TFgl you’re on the side of Craig Mundie (yes, that one) 🙂 #
• @jwildeboer as I view it, if you do it in a broad overachieving way, it is bad. If you do it in your own turf (wiki, blog, etc)… #
• @jwildeboer … then it’s your prorogative. Demanding the end of anonimity overall has a negative net result, even if it has a few pluses. #

• @sloshy I think I hst more being forbidden to photograph 2 centuries old artifacts in NY Met due to “copyright” !cc !gnu #
• @sloshy I merely said that’s a lie, and took as many pictures as I could from different angles thanks to my 10x optical zoom #
• @sloshy later on the guy apologized, but claimed it was a private collectionwhose owner didn’t want pictures. #

• From the I-told-U-so dept. rt @vertexsymphony: nVIDIA Drops their Open-Source Driver, refers users to VESA driver : http://bit.ly/aKCaju #
• Not even do they refer to nouvaux, go straight for Vesa #
• Nouveau, I mean… #
• @dandart open it up and clean it. it probably has too much dirt between the fan and the heat-sink. #
• @dandart that happened to me, I cleaned it and all came back to normal. by then I had a “filter” between fan and heat-sink 🙂 #

• Sitting inside 5th Avenue Apple Store. Wondering what’s so cool about it, not even the big iPays are on display. #
