[03:04] I don't have a problem with banning him if the generel consensus is that he's a problem === highvoltage [n=highvolt@196.1.61.37] has joined #ubuntu-ops [03:04] I just haven't had a good excuse :) [03:04] may I, please please pleas [03:04] Myrtti, no, accusations, especially when he has a plausible excuse (-men) would not go down well [03:05] his middle name is "conspiracy theorist" [03:05] damn, you're no fun [03:05] ;.) [03:05] oh, i'm plenty of fun, i just like well behaved fans ;) [03:06] elkbuntu: what's wrong with men? :) [03:06] I still can't get over the fact that someone created ubuntu-men, you know why it was created, there is no other excuse for its creation, ABOLISH IT! === pleia2 shrugs [03:07] nixternal, nay. by it's own reasoning, it will never take off [03:07] can someone send an email to gnomefreak AT ubuntu DOT com [03:07] it'll fizzle === jrib signs up gnomefreak for some spam [03:07] gnomefreak: I don't care how much you try and mask that email address, you are in for major spam my friend [03:07] done [03:08] im sure [03:08] ty elkbuntu [03:08] done [03:08] hehe [03:08] heh me too === gnomefreak wont get them more than likely [03:08] ha i did === elkbuntu grins evilly [03:08] damn [03:09] ty everyone now more work :( === PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-ops === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v PriceChild] by ChanServ [03:19] ompaul, btw, that thing i mentioned to you last week re: defectivebydesign... http://www.google.com.au/search?q=.gif+site:defectivebydesign.org&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&hs=9K0&filter=0 [03:20] if I understand it gif is no longer patented [03:20] but I'll check :) [03:21] AFAIK the last international patent expired in 2004 [03:22] gif is no longer patented [03:22] http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html still exists though. it just amuses me [03:22] elkbuntu: consider the source :) [03:22] pleia2, that's precisely my point === ajcoes [n=ajcoes@83.230.207.144] has joined #ubuntu-ops [03:23] RMS might hate unisys until the end of time for that patent, but they've actually become less evil in the past few years === CheshireViking_ [n=Interdic@unaffiliated/cheshireviking] has joined #ubuntu-ops [03:23] ola [03:24] "We were able to search the patent databases of the USA, Canada, Japan, and the European Union. The Unisys patent expired on 20 June 2003 in the USA, in Europe it expired on 18 June 2004, in Japan the patent expired on 20 June 2004 and in Canada it expired on 7 July 2004. The U.S. IBM patent expired 11 August 2006, The Software Freedom Law Center says that after 1 October 2006, there will be no significant patent claims interfering with emp [03:24] loyment of the GIF format." [03:24] dbd.o has been around since longer ago than october last year ;) [03:24] iirc [03:28] since early may 06 tbp [03:29] nice find elkbuntu [03:29] you guys didn't know the gif had expired? [03:29] morning, btw [03:30] it kills me when Unisys had the patent for gifs, yet they never invented it, I believe the story is they found the info in an ex-employees desk or something [03:30] mornin' nalioth [03:30] nixternal: yeah, it was pretty slimy [03:31] but these days Unisys contributes pretty heavily to kernel development for multiprocessor and high memory Xen kernels [03:31] and in my area they host *two* of our LUGs [03:31] so they are working to redeem :) [03:31] I worked for Unisys (Sperry Rand and Unicorp) back in the late 80's early 90's when I was in high school [03:31] they are big here in Chicago as well [03:31] my mom retired from Unisys [03:39] nalioth, i suspected it had, but was not sure [03:40] regardless, the fact that fsf sites used the format prior to complete patent expiration, and even the fact that they humor its usage now after the fact, deeply amuses me [03:42] philosophically speaking, anyway [03:48] the patent we need to concern ourselves with now however, is the mp3 patent which will likely linger for as long as 2012 === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #ubuntu-ops === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v gnomefreak] by ChanServ [03:50] get an ogg :) [03:51] how do you invite yourself to a channel?
