  • ♺ @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 ? #
  • argh I can’t sleep and tomorrow is another busy day

  • ♺ @lxoliva: RD @johnsu01 Interesting graph of artist revenue: http://ur1.ca/v4rb => labels are greedy liars #

  • @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 😉 #

  • ♺ @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 !) #

  • @openuniverse in fact it’s like calling people extremists and fundamentalists for not liking muggers, thieves or murderers. #

  • @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 #
  • Reviewing the 21st week ultrasound taking today, with some 3D segments. Cool *boy* comin’ right up! 🙂 #

  • 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? #
