@coolgoose you mean !ubuntu hiding the GIMP and OpenOffice.org and moving to Bing as default search has nothing to do with who they employ? #
@coolgoose no, GIMP is not hard to use. That’s plain BS. And OO.o removal from NBR is just another way to show ubuntu NBR is less than Win7 #
@coolgoose you totally miss the point. OO.o and GIMP are excellent showcases of the power of Free Software, and are being hidden away. #
@coolgoose basic stuff is *NOT* hard to do on the GIMP, it’s actually quite trivial. #
@coolgoose what is hard to do in GIMP is hard because of the nature of what is being done. #
@coolgoose I’m not a graphics guru or anything similar, my usage is very basic. #
♺@doctorow: Copyfighters don’t want the right to build on earlier works b/c info wants to be free, it’s b/c that’s how all creativity starts #
@coolgoose those are not basic usages. Sorry. #
@coolgoose Besides, you’re confusing the scope of GIMP vs the scope of photo viewing with pre-defined (and fixed) set of manipulations. #
@coolgoose One is complementary to the other, but one can do all, and the other quite definitely not. #
@kimus using Mac? #fail 🙂 #
@coolgoose select tools, copy & paste #
@coolgoose choosing a paint tool & colour, drawing something. #
@coolgoose a 5 y old can do that with gimp. So maybe your users are under 5 years old? #
Waiting for a friend, for #sushi while talking about interesting stuff. #
Malta, o @czorrinho vai com o nosso PM e o Sec. Est. Econ. e Inovação ao Conselho de Ministros da UE. Sugiro que lhe digam já: não às #swpat #
@czorrinho Não queremos redução de empregos nas TIC, que é uma consequência natural das patentes de software. Por favor defenda isso! 🙂 #
@czorrinho a verdadeira inovação nas TIC vem das PME, e estas são quem mais tem a perder com as #swpat #
@czorrinho a UPLS/UPLA é fortemente defendida pelo lobby pró-#swpat porque as introduz pela porta do cavalo! #
@czorrinho as #swpat são uma interferência governamental na livre concorrência, por favor não defenda monopólios artificiais. #
Tomorrow: meeting at the European Council that will have some focus on “competition” and “innovation” from 2010 to 2020. #
Ask your government to stop #swpat as it will reduce employment opportunities for innovators. #

Awesome news #
Acho que o Ministério da Educação não leu o Art. 49º ponto 8 do Código das Compras Públicas. #
«É proibida a fixação de especificações técnicas que façam referência a um fabricante ou uma proveniência determinados, … » #
«marcas, patentes ou modelos e a uma dada origem ou produção,que tenha por efeito favorecer ou eliminar determinadas entidades ou … bens.» #
Isto em relação ao novo Magalhães… #
Código dos Contractos Públicos, isto é. #
Ponto 12 tb. E com isto se prova que preciso dormir… 🙂 #
E não, não existe “equivalente” ao Windows 7 (em relação ao ponto 13). #
Datas de ficheiros também curiosas: um foi criado muito antes do concurso publicado, gravado depois. O outro foi criado *depois*. #
Datas extraídas dos metadados dos formatos, e não dos metadados dos ficheiros. #
Não sei se isso é legítimo ou não, mas cheira a esturro. #

@jwildeboer ended up talking with @kanarip up until 4am so I’m a bit wasted. You only introduce me to such great guys 🙂 #
@carlopiana I hope to finally meet you. Will you be at the fosdem event, fsfe ,meeting, both? 🙂 #
@carlopiana I’ll be with @karsten, mostly, today/night #
@carlopiana OFE as well? peachy! 🙂 #
@luisfcorreia you should have come too 🙂 #
@luisfcorreia depends on how long I can last today, was with @kanarip until 4am bxl time… >:) #
@zach ping? what’s up? #
of course it is, though, but of little usefullness #
@schestowitz is it Free Software when you can’t install and run it on the devices it was made to run on? #
(considering DRM and local laws forbidding modificatons and unlocking of phones which where made locked) #

@smaffulli no, check the FAQ 🙂 #

So first it was the GIMP, and now it is OpenOffice… !ubuntu what are you doing? http://ur1.ca/ljpz death wish? #
I think it’s time people start subscribing http://www.petitiononline.com/botgimp/petition.html no? !ubuntu #
@sbillaudelle yes, my sister in law uses it everyday. #
@bugabundo yes. current netbooks are more powerful than other computers Iused openoffice.org on, don’t drink kool-ais #
kool-aid #
@smaffulli @sbillaudelle show me the numbers that back you up #
@sbillaudelle @bugabundo you miss the point, new comers come with windows habits, they won’t thinkk/know of that. #
@sbillaudelle @smaffulli in all winxp on netbooks I see people using MS Office. #
you guys are simply throwing the pearls under the rug orto pigs. #
ran #
@sbillaudelle not pointing the gun to your own foot takes less time and less work and is smarter #
besides, I run OO.o whn I had a laptop with 512MB of ram, don’t give me bullshit 🙂 #
@bugabundo you’re just parroting bullshit, grow your own brain. #
@smaffulli I’m not talking about good choices, I’m talking that users want light laptops that can do all their work. #
so your’re arguments are just plain bullshit #
netbooks are now much more powerful than the computers they used a few years ago. #
2GB ram, 160GB disk is common now, on the shops #
grow a pair of balls #
🙂 #
@sbillaudelle more than enough. not for compiling, though, but desktop usage/ come on… #
CPU is way beyond our needs for a few years #
@sbillaudelle so you only do what others designed you to do? *disappointment* #
@sbillaudelle not really, you’ll miss over 95% of the users an the sample would be deviated/ #
@ssweeny will you stop parroting BS and think about it with your own brains andlooking at what people actually do? #
@bugabundo you know Ubuntu is actually making it harder to make derivatives, right? #
@bugabundo yeah, right. #
@bugabundo quem tem batalhado com isso a se’rioeem ambiente empresarial nao sou eu. #
You guys need to wake up, I’m the one who has an UMPC with 256MB of ram !olpc OOo is hell in *here* noton netbooks #
@sbillaudelle no1 reason for winxp on netbooks is running ms office, not windows #
people want netbooks because they’repowerful enough they’re light enough, and battery last more than traditional laptops #
@bugabundo actually, it only gives you the basement #
@sbillaudelle not when there was windows and GNU/Linux. now because it’s impossibleto getwithout windows #
@x11r5 actually, I use various GNU/Linuxes and OpenBSD. But just Linux, not really. #
rt @larusalka: @jamestait Interesting? Have you read Google Docs Additional Terms of Service? http://tr.im/LGBR Wrong move, IMHO. !Ubuntu NE #
@ssweeny sure you did #
@ssweeny !Ubuntu is making stupid decisions that hide the power of Free Software. Corruption from the insie, I wonder? #
And the worse is that you guys are just drinking kool-aid at a rate reminiscent of Apple fanboys. #
@mcielen so afraid of criticism you want to drive people away from !ubuntu? #
@ssweeny oh really? show me the numbers, please. otherwise, it’sjust kool-aid #
@mcielen yes, you’re whining about my criticism. #
@ssweeny you got the right to feel that way. each its own. But I suggest to look outside your window. #
@jwildeboer if I didn’t know better, I’d call you a weakling! c ya tomorrow. we’re waitig for @zoobab #
