glicknow that apple has patented the automatic updates notifier, what will that mean for ubuntus auto update notifier feature?08:50
infinityNothing.08:50
glickwhat do you mean nothing08:50
infinityApple's patent is reasonably specific on certain features we don't do (ie: when an application is accessed that has updates, the updater will fetch them, etc), plus most of their patent has lots of prior art.08:51
infinityIn other words: We don't much care.08:51
glickfuckin gay ass software patent bullshit08:51
infinityI appreciate your enthusiasm, but please tone it down.08:52
_ionFortunately software patents are not legal in EU  yet.08:53
glickdoes that mean that EU doesnt recognize us software patents?08:53

Burgundaviaglick: currently whether or not a EU county recognizes US software and business process patents is left up to each county08:55
Burgundaviathe EU patent directive would unify that for the entire EU, either way08:55
glickbut so no European country recognizes them?08:55
BurgundaviaI believe that the UK recognizes them. I have no idea about other countries08:56
glickpsshht08:56
infinityNot that it matters.  Patents are meaningless without someone taking legal action to defend one.  And if that happened in this case, there's enough prior art to get the patent revoked, I'd suspect.08:56
=== infinity shurgs.
infinityEither way, I don't see any reason to be concerned.  It's a curiosity.08:57
glickbut then why get the patent/08:57
glick?08:57
_ioninfinity: You need money to defend yourself.08:57
infinityMuch like the kids who patented a method for swinging sideways on a swing.  Neat, but not relevant to reality.08:57
infinity_ion: If the defendant was a corporation, they'd survive.  If Apple decided to attack, say, Debian, I'm sure the EFF would be all over it.08:58

infinityKamion: Do you know if beagle was meant to be promoted to main, or if this was just a very poorly thought-out feature that should be reverted?09:53
Burgundaviainfinity: I think seb128 did it so that people, if they install beagle, could use the search09:55
