• @bugabundo: uses http rather than https? And it’s the official one? Twitter really is run by idiots. No wonder they’re mandating oauth. #
• @bugabundo: oauth sucks, anyway, on client applications. #
• @pietercolpaert: It doesn’t add security, only lots of developer hassle and no effective convenience. 😐 #
• @bugabundo: @fabsh: consumer key and secret of oauth enabled apps are publicly available information anyways, so why worry about http? #

• Go Catalunia! #
• @Biafra: thanks, heard squid from some, octopus from others! #

• ♺ @GreatDismal: Paywalls. I’ve got friends at the London Times, and I seriously worry for them. Lots of people just assume Kirkus is gone. #

• At an Internet Governance event in Lisboa, ISCTE. Next in line, Net Neutrality. #
• @jmcesteves I’m not seeing you here. I’m at the right,near the backdoor. #
• Idiot in the audience thinks it’s more efficient to negotiate behind closed doors rather than multi stakeholderism. #
• Wolfgang replies it’s less eficient but much more sustainable. Recalls online child porn law in Germany behind closed doors and doesn’t work #
• Net Neutrality debate is about to start. #
• ♺ @evan: #StatusNet Revolutionizes Motorola Internal Communications http://ur1.ca/0lkcz #
• Pedro Oliveira starts. Openness, User Innovation and Net Neutrality. #
• Open Standards are essential to allow user Innovation #
• 86% of Innovation comes from users. #
• We should ask why ‘they’ want to close the Net, because an open Internet is essential for Innovation. #
• Carlos Correia , Vodaphone , same title of presentation #
• Vodaphone thinks it’s legitimate that it may manage user traffic to control congestion. But rules must be transparent for customers. #
• Wants users to pay more for faster networks. #
• Pedro Ferreira, Anacom #
• International Net Neutrality Conference in Lisbon, by Anacom at October 9 #
• And now Jean Jacques Sahel #
• Users buy access to the Internet because they want to access it whole. IP is like the power plug. You don’t want to pay more to be able … #
• … to plug your microwave oven . #
• Operators should not decide what users can access in the Internet. #
• Virgilio Vargas , IBM. We’re not against Net Neutrality principles. Respect them. #
• Ten years ago ten percent of population had a phone . Now it’s seventy, most mobile phones. #
• Flat rates were invented by telcos but revenue didn’t grow in parallel with traffic growth. #
• Hopes law will respect neutrality but allows intelligent network management, which needs to happen because bandwidth is finite. #
• Tried to dispell cyber warfare scaremongering and debunk Vodaphone misleading presentation. #
• They tried to make people think it’s a matter of customer download speeds. #
• Pedro Veiga from FCCN said neutral Net is cheaper because QoS is very costly. #
• Pedro Veiga: non neutral net is like highway operators controlling car luggage. #
• Pedro Ferreira clearly shows by his statements that Anacom is against Net Neutrality. #
• @PauloTrezentos: I’m curious why you felt the need to rename and reduce the scope of the original UOC master en software libre. #
• Except if I had the words “I said”, most of my previous messages where in fact from the speakers mentioned a few messages before. #
• @PauloTrezentos: the thing is, only advantage to UOC is geographical, all else… is worse 🙁 #
• To me, today, the most scandalous thing was how the portuguese teleocmunications regulator appeared to abohrr #netneutrality. #
• Ah… the pleasant sounds of australian aboriginal music… #didgeridoo rocks! #
• Headphones off… let’s see how long it takes until someone asks me if the laptop is malfunctioning #didgeridoo #

• @pietercolpaert: PCRE are Perl Compatible Regular Expressions which allow a rich and powerful matching tool. #
• @pietercolpaert: oh, I’m using PCRE for gag lists, for instance, #(ger(many)?|esp(a(ñ|nh)a)?) would hide many messages from timeline today. #
• @support heads up! Spammers are abusing private *.status.net sites! #spam #
• @support that prevents me from blocking them!!! #
• @support sorry, no it doesn’t stop me from blocking, but I can’t block them at the private site, sorry for the confusion! #
• @pietercolpaert: you look like you never coded in Perl, or you’d just drool at the expectation of using PCRE 🙂 #

• @glynmoody perhaps this will be useful before you email RMS (more than listening to @lefty) http://www.gnu.org/software/dotgnu/faq.html #
• @glynmoody Also, RMS has plenty times told he has no problem with with many C# and dotNET, you have to look at how Mono and dotGNU differ. #
• @lefty dotGNU (at least when I first heard of it) had those issues in concern at it’s design. Mono not. #
• @lefty dotGNU, and Mono if you remove the patent encumbered parts, are relatively useless in practice. #
• Yay! My !fedora problem with instant reboots when using kvm was solved => BIOS issue fixed in a June update #
• @glynmoody: not sure whether it does,the FAQ in itself is a bit outdated, too. #
• @glynmoody Last comment in here: http://is.gd/dhFoc (123 says: July 14, 2009 at 1:18 pm) summarizes well what @rms has said in plenty emails #
• @glynmoody You can also check this email to W3C from dotGNU leader, summarizing well how it differs from Mono: http://is.gd/dhFzi #
• @glynmoody in particular the paragraph beginning with «Since the DotGNU project is committed to using the GNU GPL(…)» #
• @lefty It’s hard to miss points which are themselves so lost in webs of misleading (and sometimes contradictory) information. #
• I mean, it’s hard NOT to miss such kinds of points. #
• @jwildeboer WHAT!?!?!?!?! #
• @carlopiana any links? can’t find anything in google news #
• Took a bit longer, but… damn… #
• @lxoliva too bad Venezuela is more and more a dictatorship 🙁 #
• @lefty well, fortunately that isn’t the vector they analyse, it is the vector you analyse, though. #
• @lxoliva Well, my claims come from the news we get here (not contradicted by any online source) of .ve news manipulation, censor, etc. #
• @lxoliva The attempt to remove/raise mandate limits of president is also frightening, but Chavez could always pull a Putin 🙂 #
• @zach don’t do that, just use curl -u username https://…. (curl will ask for password and it won’t be in process arguments) #
• See how #oauth is so secure and do good? http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/changeset/50081/trunk grab elmdentica’s sikrits! #
• @lxoliva Which ones, those that were closed down in Venezuela? And is it a lie he tried to eleminate/raise mandate limit? #
• @lxoliva well, I know. But filtering that, you still get those two very damning facts. #
• @lxoliva So, yes. Chavez is a dictator wannabe, sadly. #
• @rbanffy to be an accomplished dictator, Chavez would have to grab permanent stronghold of army and government. He hasn’t yet. #

• ♺ @ndantas: como pagar nas scuts: http://clublotusportugal.blogspot.com/2010/07/as-varias-formas-de-pagamento-das-scuts.html #
• @bkuhn: indeed. I call a kernel a kernel and an operating system is a little bit more than just a kernel, IMHO. #
• @brunomiguel: a specific !android phone (Optimus Boston) is awesome cheap. !freerunner would be best but not ready for general consumer. #

• Nice pun ♺ @gbraad: d*mn, @reality sucks! #
• #oauth adds absolutely no security for an user of a non-web app but adds a lot of useless hassle for programmers. #twitter is run by idiots. #
• What U need in order to secure #oauth credentials is what U need to store login+password. Exactly the same. Access that and you’re spoofable #
• And now that I have finally written an application that can use #oauth, I’m 100% sure of this. #
• A SIC foi comprada pela IURD para estar a passar o que parece uma lavagem cerebral? #
• Next in line: write #oauth program called bestbrowser which launches firefox and silently deletes all your google data with googlecl creds. #
• Feel secure now? #oauth #
• Hey, #oauth app writers: you better secure your creds with strong ciphers and ask user for password on startup. If you don’t… hmms… #
