• ♺ @glynmoody: GNUmed 0.7.0 released – http://bit.ly/9hZ7sE interesting specialist app #opensource #medicine #
• @joaomiranda o custo extra que somos obrigados a pagar, tal e qual um imposto, costuma andar entre os 90 e os 300 euros. #
• @joaomiranda isto não se explica bem com mensagens de 140 caracteres, mas o que está a dizer não tem lógica nenhuma. #
• @joaomiranda ganha a Microsoft que domina o mercado, perde o fabricante que vende computadores mais caros, perde o consumimdor que os compra #
• @joaomiranda o mopolista cria produtos não-interoperáveis para reforçar o seu «vendor lock-in». As pessoas não optam, são obrigadas. #
• @joaomiranda: oferta infinita (mercado digital tem replicação a custo “zero”), procura limitada. #
• @joaomiranda logo segundo as leis de mercado não fazem sentido conluios do monopolista para forçar a omnipresença distorcendo o mercado. #
• @joaomiranda ou a lei básica da oferta e da procura subitamente deixa de fazer sentido para satisfazer o monopolista? (oh wait…) #
• @joaomiranda mas na prática são criadas imensas barreiras para dificultar. #
• @joaomiranda o preço deveria ser indicado de forma discriminada, uma vez que são dois produtos que estão a ser comprados numa venda ligada. #
• @joaomiranda e isto até não é nada difícil de fazer (ver artigos em http://nao.quero.imposto.ms/ ) #
• E não respondo mais nada a mais ninguém hoje (zZzZzZzZz) boa noite! 🙂 #
• @gregkh:will #meego promote "illegal" (yr word) drivers in devices or criticize them ? What about plumbing ? #

• ♺ @gbraad: RT @fabsh I’ve decided I might call TurboHercules “TurboTesticles” from now on… 🙂 < as a pun towards "big meerkat balls" ? #
• ♺ @lxoliva: RD @johnsu01 Interesting graph of artist revenue: http://ur1.ca/v4rb => labels are greedy liars #
• @gbraad: quite the contrary, it’s here for some time now. The only problem is quality phones with Free Software drivers. #
• @gbraad: with SHR calling is on par with Nokia 5110 (my first cellphone), contacts and SMS are already better. #
• @bkuhn I don’t know what you asked, but by the comments, regarding your question from people I subscribe, thank you, very much! 🙂 #
• @gbraad: what was the answer? #
• @gbraad not the best and most free possible, but you get legal problems there, with governments. #
• #meego false “opensource” #Sousou & #Jaaksi: *no* way to run the FLOSS components on #MeeGo on device w/out proprietary software #lfcollab #
• Last via @bkuhn…. #
• But «false “opensource”» is mine. #
• @webmink: well, if they’re claiming #meego is fully “opensource” when it clearly isn’t… I have a word for that, but fauxpensource is ok 😉 #

• But what about patents? ♺ @hugoroy: Google Will Release #VP8 Video Codec Under an Open Source License http://is.gd/bqyX8 !fsfe !fsf #html5 #
• @bugabundo yer welcome, mate! 🙂 #
• @carlopiana sure there’s competition, but isn’t the text a bit far fetched? 🙂 #
• RD @jwildeboer MSFT: What?!? Your game also runs on Linux? And MacOS? No way to run on XBox! http://is.gd/bqPrf #
• @jwildeboer nothing “strange” about that, monopolists love non-compete clauses in their licensing 🙂 #
• RD @jerezim “I will not support any outcome that would compromise freedom of expression” – N. Kroes (about #NetNeutrality #
• @openuniverse you gotta do like the Gays and the Pirates, wear the name with pride and turn it around! #

• ♺ @schestowitz: #TurboHercules shows some previous documents , but fails to distance self from Microsoft #
• #pino looks as nice as #gwibber (even new 2.29.x) but a bit lighter on the memory. I don’t understand how these µblog apps waste so much. #
• Wow, I can check on the conversation straight from #pino (sold and coming up with upcoming !fedora 13 !) #
• ♺ @jneves: Encontro de Ubuntu em Lisboa, 15 de Abril, 18h30 – http://is.gd/brmnY (É favor divulgar!) #

• ♺ @tuxbrain: Qi Hardware Community News April 12th http://tinyurl.com/y3lvnbl #
• For a “FOSS” and patents blog, it seems like the only axe Florian Müller’s sharpening is on account of IBM. #
• Yes, IBM is evil with #swpat but they’re hardly the most aggressive against Free Software (Microsoft, anyone?) #
• Will be good news! ♺ @grote: Award winning Lightworks Video Editor will be liberated and become #FreeSoftware http://is.gd/brvlz !fsfe #

• RD @glynmoody #UK MPs call for ID cards and surveillance, but demand privacy for themselves http://bit.ly/9eTvTz Parliament of hypocrites #

• @rkj: Thought, I mean, I thought that… I’m not claiming that it’s only that way 🙂 #
• Damn… after so many nice days of Sun with warm and cozy weather, there’s lot’s of rain comin’ right for us until at least Sunday. *sucks* #

• @openuniverse in fact it’s like calling people extremists and fundamentalists for not liking muggers, thieves or murderers. #
• I did, as well. ♺ @webmink: I signed the Wellington Declaration and think you should consider doing so today too: http://icio.us/2ayw2j #
• @floschie we need the equivalente to Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bombs WRT to #swpat so governments wake up to the real issues. #
• ♺ @jerezim: Informez au sujet de l’#ACTA ! Mettez une boîte d’alerte sur votre site ! http://ur1.ca/uk47 (pls RT!) #

• /me humming «copying is not theft»…. http://tr.im/VeaM #

• @jwildeboer I’d bet most fs projects don’t want to become monetizable, actually, but wouldn’t mind if they did. #
• Can anyone !fedora confirm that the proper way to use kvm here is qemu-kvm? If so, I get instant reboot after a few seconds on my amd turion #
• !fedora Instant *host*domain* reboot…. #
• @gbraad also when starting with virt-manager, I decided to try out the command precisely because I was trying to find out what happened. #
• @matthewbooth !libvirt (as presented) is a pile of shit. I identified qemu-kvm as the command used but both produce instant reboot !fedora #
• @matthewbooth UI-wise it’s a pile of shit, it may be good under the hood, but it exposes very little or is heavily under-documented. #
• @gbraad I have no solution so far, and I haven’t found anyone with a similar issue. #
• qemu-kvm -m 512MB -hda file.img -cdrom /dev/sr0 -boot d == instant reboot on *host*domain* in this AMD Turion X2 !fedora 12 domain #
• @JMF1957: sim, e natural que gostem do modelo de negocio do iPay, encaixa-lhes como uma luva. Mas nao serve para os prosumidores 😉 #
• @floschie: there is no defense but apologism towards #swpat extortionism, which is a great part of #IBM’s income. #
• O discurso da deputada brasileira Cidinha Campos aplica-se, sem qualquer sombra de duvida, ao ressentimento mudo que sente o povo portugues. #
• Eu ja so lhes chamo pombos … #
• @floschie: why are you defending the enforcement of #swpat by known #swpat extortioner called #IBM ? Focus on the REAL issue please :[ #
• Yes, Mueller is crying us a river but defending #IBM on THIS issue is defending #swpat. I don’t even care about the other company. #
• @floschie: you focus on the unimportant. #MSFT is just as bad as #IBM as far as #swpat are involved. read the known Forbes article of 2002. #
• ♺ @floschie: Good stuff, thx. Agree with you on that “patent madness” ♺ @codepope: You may want to read my take at http://bit.ly/bQOtuO #ibm #

• If U believe “in dubio pro reo” then U should be aware that in the case of patents, U go to court to prove your innocence in infringement #
• ♺ @jwildeboer: So which rating agency is NOT US based? Anyone else sees a pattern? Dollar is losing, US rating corps shoot on euro? #

• ♺ @pedromelo: Best-practices are good; breast-practices are better #
• @jmcesteves:@wikileaks matters but their current "extortion" of funds is making them loose value. Almost sorry for having donated. #

• @floschie OTOH you’re looking awfully apologetic towards an aggressive company brandishing their “mines” in the face of competitors. #swpat #
• Even if they’re not exactly repeating «Patently Absurd» http://tr.im/URxO the implicit threat is quite clear. Of course IBM now backs off… #

• @support @heryshoe looks #spammy! #
• #swpat Is IBM deciding to show how useless are patent promises by suing? http://tr.im/UFHG Is this true? #
• @glynmoody they’re proving just how valuable are all those useless patent promises #swpat 🙂 #
• .oO( not at all valuable ) #
• Eagerly expecting the new OTRS::ITSM (supposed to land by the end of March) with Change Management Process and PINK Verify certification. #
• @igama estás a estudar ITIL Foundation V3? #
• @support @willexceltesol is definitely #spammy (and with a quite evident bug in their software). #
• Excelente 🙂 ♺ @GabrielfSilva: A couve de Bruxelas: http://bit.ly/aitzyz #
• @jwildeboer I half-agree, IBM is merely not attacking free software in general more than they usually do. #
• @jwildeboer What they do is prove how worthless patent promises are (even without being bought by another company). #
• @jwildeboer so if you build a commercial free software you’re provoking the established commercial patent promisers? #
• @jwildeboer hardware is software (except in materials) and, each time more rearely, sometimes unchangeable. #
• @jwildeboer with the current minefield, what you’re saying is that there can’t be no commercial free software, and that’s just natural. #
• @jwildeboer oh, I haven’t been surprised about this eventuality ever since I read those promises. #
• @jwildeboer and, BTW, Red Hat’s promise is not much better, sadly. #
• @jwildeboer Red Hat may know that the instant they break it they loose a lot of goodwill and valuable human resources, but it may not matter #
• But what if they’re bought by someone who doesn’t care? #
• @jwildeboer You’re screwed if you have a patent infringement case either willfully or not. This *must* be criticised. #
• @pedromelo confiar nos certificados dos browsers é que é um risco, isto é 🙂 #
• #WTF uma televisão exigir o formato Betacam Digital para enviar um vídeo para produção, e com montes de considerandos arcaicos *sigh* #
