tomahi Hobbsee, you're up late01:27
Hobbsee@time sydney01:27

Hobbseetoma: i'm likely to be up for another 5 hours or so :P01:27
tomahmm, i thought you just got up 01:29
tomanm, my head is elsewhere01:29
Hobbsee:P01:29
Tonio_hey01:39
Hobbseehi Tonio_!01:39
Tonio_hi Hobbsee, toma01:39
tomahey !01:39
Tonio_I'm getting nuts in trying to understand why katapult fails on edgy01:39
Tonio_look like an xorg issue01:39
HobbseeTonio_: it does?  works here01:39
Tonio_Hobbsee: with edgy ?01:40
HobbseeTonio_: yep01:40
Tonio_hum, local problem so....01:40
HobbseeSysinfo for 'sarah': Linux 2.6.17-5-686 running KDE 3.5.3, CPU: Mobile Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz at 2394 MHz (4793 bogomips), HD: 19/36GB, RAM: 567/995MB, 104 proc's, 21.38min up01:40
Hobbseedefinetly edgy.01:40
Tonio_Hobbsee: are you up to date ? how do you find the latest changes I've done to kopete and konqueror ?01:40
HobbseeTonio_: wha'td you do to kopete?01:40
Hobbseei havent updated this afternoon, no01:40
Tonio_Hobbsee: open a discussion and put the cursor on the tab icon :)01:41
HobbseeTonio_: a discussion?01:41
Tonio_it displays a close button01:41
Tonio_and same for konqueror01:41
Hobbseeoh yeah, i got k-d-s this morning, that's right01:41
Tonio_Hobbsee: not only kds, I had to patch kopete sources to get that working01:41
Tonio_and kdelibs with the help of toma too01:41
HobbseeTonio_: um, okay, which sources did you patch?  did you patch mine on revu, the current edgy, or what?01:42
Tonio_I patched the current edgy01:42
Tonio_but the sources that are in universe, not kdenetwork01:42
Tonio_Accepted:01:43
Tonio_OK: kopete_3.5.3+kopete0.12.0-0ubuntu4.dsc01:43
Tonio_  -> Component: universe Section: kde01:43
Hobbseeokay, so i was told it was going into main.01:44
HobbseeTonio_: there's a UVF exception in for 0.12.1 - but i dont think mdz has replied to it yet01:44
Tonio_Hobbsee: yes we need to wait at the moment01:45
=== Hobbsee wonders why Tonio_ didnt patch against 0.12.1
Tonio_Hobbsee: how do you find the changes ?01:46
HobbseeTonio_: well, i cant figure out hwo to open a discussion, so....01:46
Tonio_Hobbsee: simply because I know your package is gonna replace it :)01:46
Tonio_oups okay01:46
HobbseeTonio_: er, and you're not wanting your patch in my new package?01:46
Hobbseeoh, and i'm using 0.12.1, too...01:46
Tonio_I didn't patch because I wanted it in edgy for people to test01:46
Tonio_then we'll port the patch if people like it01:47
Tonio_it is very easy to do01:47
HobbseeTonio_: isnt that the idea of edgy?  it's development, ie testing?01:47
Tonio_the patch is one line only01:47
Tonio_Hobbsee: yes, so what is the issue ?01:47
Tonio_is 0.12.1 in edgy already ?01:47
HobbseeTonio_: no, it's not.01:47
Tonio_that's why I didn't do it :)01:48
Tonio_Hobbsee: you can port the patch if you want01:48
Tonio_pretty easy to do01:48
Tonio_Hobbsee: ho and talking about edgy, do you have issues with fonts too ?01:48
Tonio_my fonts are quite crappy01:48
HobbseeTonio_: actually, what i'd like to do is to poke mdz to approve the UVF exception, so we dont have 3 branches of the same app.01:48
Tonio_Hobbsee: true01:49
Tonio_we'll add the patch after this01:49
Tonio_you're right on that point01:49
Hobbseefonts are different, but i've grown to like it01:49
Tonio_Hobbsee: to me that's not different, that dirty01:49
Tonio_they don't feet with the screen01:49
Hobbseealso, that's supposed to be in main, i'm told. however, p.u.c says it's in uni, you say it's in uni, katie says it's in uni, so it really must be in universe.01:49
Hobbseei think it's katie - whatever generates the accepted/rejected mails01:50
HobbseeTonio_: of course, there's an easy way to check - i try uploading it :P01:50
Tonio_Hobbsee: in fact we have 2 versions of kopete in edgy01:50
Tonio_the one provided by kdenetwork01:50
Tonio_and your package01:50
Tonio_if we want your in main, we should patch kdenetwork to remove the kopete package from it01:51
HobbseeTonio_: yep, true01:51
Tonio_also there is an issue with your package....01:51
=== rraphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Tonio_universe dep01:51
HobbseeTonio_: yeah, Riddell was going to do that, but kde 3.5.4 will be out soon, so he was going to patch it there.01:51
Hobbseehi rraphink 01:51
HobbseeTonio_: ah, which dep was that?01:51
=== Hobbsee has to do dishes - back in a sec
Tonio_Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libjasper-runtime01:52
Tonio_this one is universe01:52
Tonio_that will cause an issue for main inclusion01:53
rraphinkhi Hobbsee01:55
Hobbseehey... Tonio_....this thing's really in universe, right?01:57
Hobbsee(so Riddell was wrong in saying it was in main, presumably)01:57
HobbseeTonio_: tell me why we're waiting on a UVF?01:57
Tonio_Hobbsee: yes01:57
Hobbseeexception?01:57
Tonio_Hobbsee: because of main inclusion report01:57
Tonio_:)01:57
Hobbseethis thing's probably going to go to main later in the release?01:58
Tonio_but yes could make sense to upload latest to universe and main inclusio after this01:58
HobbseeTonio_: it's not in main yet - presumably we can keep upgrading it while it's in universe/01:58
Tonio_would make it easier01:58
Hobbseemuch easier.01:58
Tonio_I agree01:58
Hobbseeokay, i'll try it ;001:58
Hobbsee:)01:58
Tonio_make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.17-5-386/build: Aucun fichier ou rpertoire de ce type. Arrt.01:59
Tonio_why don't we have a build symlink ?01:59
Tonio_pf01:59
Tonio_my stupidity........02:01
HobbseeTonio_: why are you on -386 anyway?02:03
HobbseeTonio_: ah yeah, guess we'd need to get that bumped to main too maybe, depending on it's deps.02:03
HobbseeTonio_: where was your patch for kopete?02:06
HobbseeTonio_: seems a bit silly to upload kopete twice02:06
Tonio_Hobbsee: want the  patch via dcc ?02:07
HobbseeTonio_: probably email.  hobbsee@ubuntu.com02:07
Hobbseepatch is good, yep :)02:07
Tonio_the email is gone02:08
Tonio_Hobbsee: you might need the changelog now no ?02:08
HobbseeTonio_: i dont understand02:09
Tonio_what ?02:09
Hobbseei might need to change the changelog?  yeah02:09
Tonio_well if you upload your new package, since my one is already in universe, you need to take the changelog informations02:09
Tonio_makes sense no ?02:09
Tonio_Hobbsee: i /msg the changelog entry to you02:11
HobbseeTonio_: yeah, the idea does, i just didnt understand what you actually said :P02:12

bddebianHello04:06
birthdayloggerTonio_: you already talked to someone concering a google earth license?04:07
Tonio_birthdaylogger: nope04:10
Tonio_there is no change we get one ;)04:10
Tonio_no chance04:10
birthdayloggerTonio_: oh, why so?04:10
birthdayloggergoogle is not interested in distributing their software? Oo04:11
Tonio_birthdaylogger: because google doesn't do anything to promote free software04:11
Tonio_and has the same licencing vision than apple or microsof04:11
birthdayloggerthough they support FOSS don't they?04:11
Tonio_with a bit of hypocrite way to do that microsoft doesn't have04:11
birthdayloggerand they finance trolltech :D04:11
Tonio_birthdaylogger: in theory....04:12
birthdayloggerwell, most of their APIs are open04:12
Tonio_can you give me an good example of free code they have written ?04:12
Tonio_they are for standards yes04:12
birthdayloggerwell04:12
Tonio_they like standards and open technology04:12
birthdayloggerdo they have to open their code?04:12
Tonio_but certainly not free software04:12
birthdayloggerthey featured wine04:12
birthdayloggerand they do code contributions to mozilla04:13
Tonio_birthdaylogger: because it was better than providing a real linux application probably04:13
Tonio_?04:13
Tonio_wine is evil04:13
birthdayloggerwell, it is FOSS04:13
birthdayloggeryou can't say google doesn't support FOSS04:13
birthdayloggeras it is not true04:13
Tonio_yes, but it is the best reason for companies not to develop on linux04:13
Tonio_well that's a too big debate ;)04:13
birthdayloggerwell, google is aiming to make money04:14
Tonio_the point is honnestly, I don't think, not even a second, that google will allow us to provide a package04:14
birthdayloggerwe can ask04:14
Tonio_birthdaylogger: trolltech too, and intel too :)04:14
birthdayloggerand as google aims to make money it's not very unlikely04:14
Tonio_but intel favors foss more than google in my view04:14
birthdayloggeropera allowed to package as well?!04:15
Tonio_google is like apple04:15
birthdayloggerapple is support khtml04:15
birthdaylogger*ing04:15
Tonio_they talk about free software, they use it as much as they need it, and they provide proprietary stuff to make money04:15
Tonio_I can't accept that04:15
Tonio_microsoft way to do is better04:15
Tonio_they don't want to make free software, so they don't use free softtware, and don't talk about it04:16
Tonio_;)04:16
Tonio_apple supports khtml because kde people asked for the code04:16
Tonio_at the very begening, they simply got a 20 mbits patch absolutly unreadable04:16
Tonio_what did apple do with osx ?04:17
Tonio_take the best of free software under lgpl or bsd licence04:17
Tonio_make proprietary os with their own proprietary stuff in their,04:17
Tonio_had a bunch of drm inside04:17
Tonio_and sold it......04:17
Tonio_this company is honnestly 10 times worst than microsoft regarding to their hypocrits acts...04:18
=== Hobbsee_ [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #kubuntu-devel
birthdayloggerTonio_: MS is using FOSS as well04:18
birthdayloggeranyway, you can't wait for such big comapnies to open their code04:19
Tonio_birthdaylogger: I've worked for MS04:19
Tonio_they generally favor unix to linux because it is not free software04:19
Tonio_and yes, MS is hypocrit too, but honnestly not as much as apple or google04:20
Tonio_because they never pretend to be "fan of FOSS" and friends of "the FOSS world"04:20
Tonio_birthdaylogger: HP opens its code, intel does so04:20
Tonio_aren't they big companies ?04:20
birthdayloggersure they are04:21
birthdayloggerbut they are 2 against 10004:21
Tonio_seriously, is picasa port to linux acceptable ?04:21
Tonio_even googleearth04:21
Tonio_they didn't do any effort to respect linux HUIs04:21
birthdayloggerwhat's the problem with the google earth port?04:21
birthdayloggerthey want it to be similar to the windows version04:22
Tonio_it doesn't respect the linux file system structure04:22
birthdayloggerso they can't break their own HUI used for their windows apps04:22
birthdaylogger?04:22
birthdayloggerwhy not?04:22
Tonio_is requires to be launched as root04:22
Tonio_which makes it a problem for the security04:22
birthdayloggerit doesn't do04:22
Tonio_honnestly, the only reason they did a port and not a wine thing is because is was developed in QT on windows04:23
birthdayloggerit saves every config etc. to ~./googleearth04:23
Tonio_that's the only reason04:23
Tonio_birthdaylogger: hum, I'd like to see it, since I tested it a month ago and it couldn't be launched as simple user04:23
birthdayloggerof course this is the reason, but as I said ... they want to make money, so there needs to be a market for their software04:23
Tonio_birthdaylogger: I don't criticize the fact they don't do open source code04:24
birthdayloggerTonio_: there was no new version since first beta release04:24
Tonio_I criticize the fact they are trying to play on both side in an hypocrit way04:24
Tonio_birthdaylogger: then I'd like to see it :)04:24
Tonio_did you install using their .bin file ?04:24
=== neoncode [n=neoncode@unaffiliated/neoncode] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Tonio_once that's installed, you cannot launched it as simple user without playing manually with chmod rights04:25
birthdayloggeryeah04:25
birthdayloggerTonio_: you installed in system resource?04:25
Tonio_I installed in /opt04:25
birthdayloggermight be a bug in the loki installer04:25
birthdayloggerbut actually nothing more than a bug04:25
birthdayloggeranyway, AFK04:26
birthdayloggergotta visist some people ;-)04:26
Tonio_honnestly, couldn't they provide at least an rpm version ? or a debian one ?04:26
Tonio_do you know why they didn't ?04:26
Tonio_because the file would have been copied on repos04:26
Tonio_that's obvious04:26
Tonio_I just respect google for one thing : they respect standards04:27
Tonio_that the good point04:27
birthdayloggerTonio_: no, loki installer is the most advanced version for supporting most distros04:30
birthdayloggerwhile if you package an RPM for redhat it might not work on suse or mandriva04:30
Tonio_birthdaylogger: other solution could have been to give a binary tarball and let the packagers to the job ;)04:31
=== Hobbsee_ [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #kubuntu-devel
birthdayloggerthat's what we want to do - for our users, not for google04:31
birthdayloggerand it is much more work to ask every distro to package a binary thing04:31
Tonio_birthdaylogger: the point is it is illegal04:31
birthdayloggeror get packagers which can build one for msot04:32
Tonio_and that will probably not change since we ask for it04:32
=== aliasfred [n=fred@73.43.102-84.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Tonio_except on an illegal repo like the plf04:32
Tonio_we can put it there, but that's it04:32
birthdayloggerTonio_: it doesn't change the possability they give us a license04:32
birthdayloggeror they open up an own repo04:32
Tonio_nope, but as plf exists and is plainly illegal, we can put the package their ;)04:33
birthdayloggerbut we don't want to be illegal, do we?04:33
aliasfredabout reporsitory, the 'new' repository for commercial software, anybody can enter ? or opera got a special deal with ubuntu ?04:33
Tonio_birthdaylogger: do you use w32codecs ?04:33
birthdayloggerperfect solution would be to get a deal with google so that the package ends up in the canonical repo or something04:33
birthdayloggerTonio_: no04:33
Tonio_aliasfred: it is a deal with opera ues04:33
Tonio_birthdaylogger: good response :)04:34
Tonio_do we want to be illegal? sure no04:34
Tonio_do we have the choice ? no04:34
birthdayloggerwe have the possability to get a choice04:34
Tonio_as marilliat's packages, they are not legal, but does he have another option ? no04:34
Tonio_birthdaylogger: try !04:34
birthdayloggeryeah :P04:34
Tonio_no problem with it...04:35
Tonio_I can bet my salary they won't even take a second to answer04:35
birthdayloggerTonio_: they even wanted to do some cooperation with amarok04:35
birthdayloggerconcerning their music search thingy04:35
birthdayloggerthough one of our members forgot to answer :S04:36
Tonio_birthdaylogger: google as 10000 project a day04:36
birthdayloggerit was a personalized answer04:36
Tonio_and most of the time internet invents projects for them :)04:36
Tonio_what I can see is google, 8 years claiming they LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE FOSS, not a fucking line of free code released....04:36
birthdayloggersure, but why shouldn't they be interessted when we support their stuff for free?04:36
aliasfredTonio_: is there a way for a free of charge software to be included in the ubuntu repository ? a process to follow ? or "do your own repository and ask the user to point to it" is the only answer ?04:36
birthdayloggerTonio_: again, they contributed code to at least wine and mozilla04:37
birthdayloggerI think they even done some work on vlc04:37
Tonio_alias, there is a way to make it that is legal04:37
birthdayloggernot sure about that though04:37
Tonio_make a debian package that doewnloads and installs the application04:37
Tonio_that's perfectly legal04:37
Tonio_birthdaylogger: no, vlc is developed by a french school, and a french isp04:38
Tonio_certainly not google :)04:38
birthdayloggermozilla is developed by google?04:38
Tonio_they USE vlc yes, but they didn't do anything to promote it04:38
birthdayloggerwhy should they promote open source?04:38
Tonio_birthdaylogger: they shouldn't04:38
birthdayloggerwhat point does open source have if we need companies to promote it?04:38
Tonio_but they are TRYING to make people think they are04:39
birthdayloggergoogle even doesn't promote their own stuff04:39
Tonio_good example is you ;)04:39
birthdayloggernah04:39
aliasfredTonio_: maybe my question is not at the proper moment, but all in my stuff is legal :) nothing about illegal, just to know about the policy to be included in the repositories such as 'apt-get install apps' does install it. without the manually edit sources.list stage :)04:39
birthdayloggerthey support FOSS04:39
Tonio_google helps vlc -> false, they just use it04:39
birthdayloggerthey don't promote it04:39
Tonio_they promote mozilla, that's true04:39
Tonio_but to me google is just close to opensource to shit on microsoft04:40
birthdayloggerah, they power it - as they think it's better for them04:40
Tonio_when you look at their licencing, there is no much difference04:40
birthdayloggerany EULA looks that way04:40
birthdayloggerthat's the point of a default EULA, why should you allow stupid people to do crap with your software?04:41
aliasfredok i will reask later for my pacakge stuff :)04:41
Tonio_but well, linux users hate microsoft and love google.... I don't understand why, but that's it, so let's stop there ;)04:41
aliasfredabout google, they do give money for foss04:41
birthdayloggerwhy do we sign packages?04:41
Tonio_aliasfred: summer of code ? mouarf :)04:41
aliasfredgoogle summer of code is like 500kus04:41
Hobbseebirthdaylogger: so that the repositories know that hobbsee is actually hobbsee, not some imposter.04:41
Tonio_that's nothing !!!!!!!04:41
aliasfred72millions to mozilla04:41
birthdayloggerHobbsee: right04:41
Tonio_it is marketing genius, but that's all04:41
birthdayloggerso what should google do?04:41
Hobbseebirthdaylogger: and it means that you can upload from multiple computers, if ~/.gnupg is on there, and you've got the passphrase04:42
birthdayloggergnugpg their code?04:42
aliasfredwell then it is about their motivation04:42
Tonio_can you imagin the ads done for google arround the world for only 500kus ?04:42
birthdayloggerevery saw a gnugpg'ed code?04:42
Hobbseebirthdaylogger: no, the folder in home04:42
aliasfredbut they do give money, the point of why they do give is another04:42
birthdayloggerTonio_: they aim to make money04:42
Tonio_aliasfred: yes, for mozilla I agree, they really help them04:42
Tonio_because mozilla is for them a weapon to shit on microsoft04:42
Tonio_birthdaylogger: what I see is that microsoft as code on sourceforge while google doesn't....04:43
birthdayloggermicrosoft is just doing what you say about google04:43
Tonio_would I say MS is promoting FOSS ? no04:43
birthdayloggermake people think they promote/support/distribute FOSS04:43
Tonio_but they have a partnership with xen, projects on sourceforge, they will support opendocument......04:43
birthdayloggerthey will just make money04:43
Tonio_yes MS and google are exactly the same04:44
birthdayloggerMONEY MONEY AND EVEN MORE MONEY04:44
birthdayloggerthat's all04:44
aliasfredms knows they are going down, so they try not to drawn too fast04:44
birthdayloggerthey follow the market04:44
birthdayloggerwhich is moving to FOSS04:44
birthdayloggerso MS is moving FOSS04:44
Tonio_but in the foss world, MS is the ennemy, while google is "the good friend"04:44
Tonio_that's a non-sense04:44
aliasfredwell google doesnt have the evil history of ms04:45
birthdayloggerwhy should google be an enemy? they don't even say 'we might sue a code because he's hurting our patents'04:45
birthdayloggerMS does04:45
birthdayloggerjust as the point of mono04:45
Tonio_aliasfred: no, but what they prepare is even worse04:45
birthdayloggerMS doesn't say they will not sue them04:45
birthdayloggerthey just say, not yet04:45
aliasfredTonio_: what do they prepare ?04:45
Tonio_consider the database they have04:45
Tonio_I'm affraid by that04:46
aliasfredi know what you mean :)04:46
birthdayloggergoogle is in the O#F foundation04:46
=== aliasfred was a research in anonymity over the internet in zeroknowledge
birthdayloggergrm04:46
birthdayloggerODF group thingy04:46
birthdayloggerMS isn't04:46
Tonio_all they do is oriented in "we want to know you, what you do, the websites you go, the girls you f*ck, etc..."04:46
aliasfredso i have good knowledge of the evil google may do :)04:46
aliasfredespecially because it is under a single control :)04:47
Tonio_gimme your files, store them on my server, gimme your mails, sign that I can read them, install my toolbar so I know what websites you like........04:47
aliasfredand that a single subponea can deliver all this info to some evil guys :)04:47
Tonio_excuse me, but that make me much more affraid than microsoft stupid war against standards04:47
aliasfredindead but how to fight it ?04:48
aliasfredall their apps are much better that any other alternatives04:48
Tonio_what missed ? wireless google condoms to guess who and when do I fuck, and that's it....04:48
Tonio_honnestly, google apps are very little bits of code...04:48
=== Hobbsee wonders when #kubuntu-devel changed into #kubuntu-letsbitchaboutMSandGoogle
bddebianheh04:49
Tonio_can we compare google desktop search or any of thei software to oracle, ms sql server, ms exchange, windows 2003 or anything ?04:49
aliasfreddunno what you mean, but google apps are all very nice and have no comparitor :)04:49
Tonio_honnestly, google makes a lot of money, but what they do doesn't impress me that much04:49
aliasfredwell their search is the best04:50
aliasfredtheir mail system is the best too 04:50
Tonio_their search ingine yes04:50
aliasfredgoogle earth is the only one04:50
Tonio_their desktop search, no, for sure no04:50
Tonio_aliasfred: they didn't develop google earth, they just bought it04:50
Tonio_after this ?04:50
Tonio_when I see people comparing google to ms....04:50
Tonio_that's ridiculous :)04:50
aliasfredah google video04:51
Tonio_3 desktop softwares cannot be compared to the 300 softwares microsoft is developing04:51
aliasfredwell not that bad all that :)04:51
Tonio_aliasfred: the player is simply an hidden vlc, and yes, their web services are nice04:51
aliasfredi do agree about the danger of their database, but clearly they do much better product that competitors04:52
aliasfredso how to fight it ?04:52
Tonio_google desktop search is far from beeing the bests04:53
Tonio_google talk is very limited04:53
aliasfredi mean, for me it is faster to run gmail.com that thunderbird on my local box :)04:53
Tonio_picasa is a simple bought software they didn't improved04:53
Tonio_same for google earth04:53
aliasfredwhen i realized this ... :)04:53
Tonio_okay, they have very good webservices, but that's it for me04:53
aliasfredso how to fight it ?  :)04:54
Tonio_I don't see google as a "monster of software development"04:54
Tonio_people are fantasming that microsoft is currently reached by google.........04:54
Tonio_the day google has a software like "visual studio", I will admit they can do good softwares04:54
aliasfredhehe ok i play evil for 30sec04:55
bddebianheh04:55
Tonio_aliasfred: how ? well, just use the necessary from google and ignore the reste04:55
aliasfredhow much software ubuntu does ?04:55
Tonio_I have better than gmail04:55
aliasfredlike 0 ? :)04:55
aliasfredubuntu doesnt write code or very negligible :)04:55
Tonio_aliasfred: yes, but nobody talk about canonical as a "monster of the software development"04:55
aliasfredstill it is good :)04:55
Tonio_while everybody wants to oppose google to microsoft.......04:56
aliasfredthey opposose the power they have04:56
Tonio_for one line of code written by google, MS has probably 10000 lines of code at least04:56
aliasfrednot the amount of code written04:56
Tonio_honnestly, that's uncomparable too04:56
Tonio_the only thing that makes google so powerfull is ads04:57
aliasfredin anycase i considere google as the only chance linux have to reach critical mass :)04:57
Tonio_the day that goes off, they will have real issues04:57
Tonio_not myself04:57
Tonio_I consider linux will never reach critical mass04:57
aliasfredwho gonna pay the OEM to put linux on their box ?04:57
Tonio_not today, and not in 10 years04:57
aliasfredand pay more that ms :)04:57
aliasfredwell i say 5years :)04:57
Tonio_never04:58
aliasfredso we disagree :)04:58
Tonio_10 percent of the market is the maximum linux can have04:58
Tonio_you know why ?04:58
Tonio_look at firefox04:58
aliasfredtell me04:58
Tonio_lots of money spent with ads04:58
Tonio_marketing04:58
Tonio_everyone trying to convince his neighboor04:58
Tonio_a great software04:58
Tonio_by far better than the microsoft's one04:59
bddebianBecause GNU/Linux is written by developers for developers, that's why :-)04:59
Tonio_everything is done to make it a success04:59
Tonio_and it is certainly not a "big success"04:59
Tonio_it has about 17% of the market04:59
Tonio_IE still has 80%, when it's sucking, features laking etc.........04:59
aliasfredTonio_: ok, but what is the relation with 'linux reaching critical mass' ?04:59
=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.190.64.118] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Tonio_I mean, everyone talks about IE to be going to be defeat by firefox....05:00
Hobbseehi freeflying 05:00
Tonio_I would like to be defeated with 80% of the market05:00
Tonio_IE's market share is still bigger that ipod's one !05:00
aliasfredwhat is the relation with anyuthing05:00
Tonio_nobody seems to realise this05:00
Tonio_aliasfred: the point is that it is too late for linux to reach the mass05:01
Tonio_microsoft is there05:01
aliasfred?05:01
Tonio_the only chance we have is by putting linux in schools05:01
Tonio_but starting to make things changing will take at least one complete generation05:01
aliasfredTonio_: it is unargumented stattement :)05:01
Tonio_aliasfred: do people want something else ? mostly no05:02
Tonio_here is the point05:02
aliasfredTonio_: you say 'linux will never reach critical mass' then 'because firefox has only 20% of the market even if the product is much better'05:02
aliasfredah ok05:02
aliasfredthis one is a arguement05:02
Tonio_I'm just saying that as long as the people don't wan't it, that'll never change05:02
aliasfredyou fell that window user are satisfied and so wont switch to another product if they have the choise05:02
Tonio_the point is that viruses and crashes are now acceptable for them05:03
Tonio_"that always happens and is normal with informatics"05:03
aliasfredwell your example about firefox teachs us something, the cost of switching is very high for the final user05:03
Tonio_so they are comfortable with windows05:03
aliasfredbut in 2 years from now, ubuntu will be vastly better than vista05:04
Tonio_aliasfred: yes, very hight, but imagin that firefox doesn't replace anything, is easy to replace, and doesn't imply any infos losing05:04
Tonio_can you imagin the fear of switching to linux ?05:04
aliasfredexactly like firefox is vastly better that IE05:04
aliasfredso why would they switch ?05:04
aliasfredone point is the price :)05:04
Tonio_if linux had a chance to reach the mass, firefox would have 70% of the market to day05:04
Tonio_but that will not happen05:04
Tonio_17% is the maximum05:04
aliasfredhow much do i give to ms when i buy a computer ?05:05
Tonio_when IE7 is released, firefox will go back to <10% market share05:05
Tonio_aliasfred: too much :)05:05
aliasfredwith the ms license bundled in it05:05
aliasfredyep but how much is this ?05:05
Tonio_I would say like 40 05:05
Tonio_maybe 30 05:05
Tonio_it depends on the brand in fact :)05:05
Tonio_dell has certainly better prices that a little asian company05:06
Tonio_but oem licences are not that expensive in fact05:06
aliasfredok now imagine you go to auchan/kmart and the vendor tell you 'ok this is 30euro less if you take ubuntu" here is a box running ubuntu05:06
Tonio_aliasfred: nobody will want to take the risk05:06
aliasfredand you see fancy eyes candy like xgl and 3d window like looking glass05:06
Tonio_they would prefer to by a "HEWLET PACKARD" with "MICROSOFT "inside05:07
aliasfredrelax and imagine05:07
Tonio_and of course05:07
Tonio_they are completly lost if they don't see the "intel inside" logo on th computer05:07
Tonio_becuase only intel allows wireless on the top of north pole05:07
Tonio_;)05:07
aliasfredyou are the customer, you pay less, you have better software, will you ask yourself "hey maybe i should try" ? :)05:08
Tonio_honnestly, the mass is too stupid to even think about making a choice05:08
Tonio_well I and you are probably more intelligent that 80% of the people05:08
Tonio_since we all seem to be able to make a choice05:08
aliasfredyou are having a bad day, or you are always like that ? :)05:08
Tonio_the "critical mass" is generally "critically stupid"05:09
Tonio_hum05:09
Tonio_both :)05:09
aliasfredok :)05:09
Tonio_the mass is stupid05:09
Tonio_want an evidence of this ?05:09
Tonio_look at ads on the tv05:09
Tonio_can you imagin this works ???????05:09
aliasfredhehe :)05:09
aliasfredok then several stuff05:10
aliasfred"even master have master"05:10
Tonio_doesn't that prove that 80% of the people are sheeps ?05:10
aliasfredthis saying is interesting as you think you are smarter that the other guys, and you may be, the point is "dont forget that other are even smarter" :)05:10
Tonio_no, I'm not smarter05:11

Tonio_he can ask if he wants05:14
Tonio_but I want HIM to decide to ask first05:14
bddebianWhich is part of the reason GNU/Linux won't make it.  Most developers seem to think that users have a brain, when over half of users can barely turn on their PCs much less configure CUPS05:14
