vorianThey were fighting to get that changed when I was in school, but THE Missouri University kept blocking it00:00
JontheEchidnahttp://juliank.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/python-apt-to-become-first-debian-package-to-support-python-3/00:01
JontheEchidnamaybe that'll take care of update-notifier-kde's mem usage00:01
JontheEchidna(in ref to the memory savings in python-apt00:01
JontheEchidna)00:01
ScottKYeah00:01
JontheEchidnathat being said, when are we going to push our stuff over to python3?00:02
ScottKJontheEchidna: In about 5 years00:02
ScottKnot kidding00:02
Tonio_JontheEchidna: hum.... the problem there is more with the design and tests performed by python-apt00:02
Tonio_JontheEchidna: the simple "isUpgradable" method is really, really testing everything possible00:03
JontheEchidnaAll I know is that every update, update-notifier-kde loads a whole python-apt thingie, which ends up eating 50 MB RAM00:03
JontheEchidnaor something, I forget the technical details00:03
Tonio_JontheEchidna: yup, but well probably python 3 would help, also, the design has to be rewritten00:03
Tonio_JontheEchidna: a simple port will not fix everything on that point00:04
ScottKJontheEchidna: It'd be really cool if the tool tip for the reboot need icon would tell you which packages it needed reboot for.00:04
vorian"please update for a new notification thingy"00:04
Tonio_ScottK: we also need something like a "you should logout and login again" for plasma/kdelibs updates for example00:04
vorian"It's a very important change"00:04
Tonio_ScottK: I have this on my list for the UDS00:05
ScottKTonio_: I think reboot is enough.  Just say reboot is needed for that case too.00:05
Tonio_ScottK: hum.... but then how do you make the difference between a minor plasma update and an upstream version change ?00:06
Tonio_I don't want to ask people to reboot when there is a desktop file fix for plasma...00:06
NightroseJontheEchidna: qtscriptgenerator shouldn't need Qt4.500:06
Nightrosewhat's the problem?00:06
ScottKThe point isn't the degree of change, but what's needed to make it effective and does the average user care to logout/in instead of just rebooting00:06
JontheEchidnaNightrose: f-f-f-failure00:06
JontheEchidnait sorta just doesn't build00:07
NightroseScottK: good luck for the notification discussion00:07
Tonio_ScottK: I agree with you on that point00:07
NightroseJontheEchidna: heh - got a pastebin?00:07
JontheEchidnait complains about something phonon-ish00:07
JontheEchidnaNightrose: I would, but launchpad's offline :/00:07
JontheEchidnaI could give you the whole buildlog if it wasn't00:07
NightroseJontheEchidna: once you got it poke eean or Harald or have a look at our packagers list00:08
JontheEchidnaNightrose: anyways, I copied Harald's packages over to kubuntu-experimental right before LP went offline00:08
ScottKTonio_: I think where there is smart postinst stuff we can do to make restarts of things happen it's reasonable to look into00:08
ScottKNightrose: Thanks.00:08
* JontheEchidna should write up a news story00:09
Tonio_ScottK: hum yep, but we have to list the sensible kde packages then :)00:09
NightroseJontheEchidna: \o/00:09
* JontheEchidna also notes that there have been a lot of news stories on the kubuntu frontpage lately00:09
ScottKTonio_: Probably a short list00:09
Tonio_ScottK: also I think we can be agressive on that point00:09
Tonio_ScottK: look at OSX, it is incredibly popular00:09
Tonio_ScottK: and believe me, any update requires reboot00:10
Tonio_and if you discard, you are prompted to reboot every..... 5 minutes...00:10
Tonio_and people like it00:10
ScottKTheir upgrade mechanism is very painful.00:10
daskreechIsn't Ubuntu Policy just kinda reboot anywy?00:10
JontheEchidnawhich kdelibs cases require a reboot? Any crashes I see usually occur because HAL is being restarted during the update?00:10
daskreechI've seen it ask for reboot for upgrades of databases00:10
JontheEchidnaer, minus that last ?00:10
Tonio_also, I noticed that sometimes you are prompted to reboot before the upgrade ends :)00:11
JontheEchidnakded4 doesn't like HAL being restarted much00:11
Tonio_that's REALLY bad :)00:11
Tonio_JontheEchidna: imho, for all those reasons, I tend to favor upgrades at shurdown the way windows does00:11
Tonio_JontheEchidna: it avoids those "on the fly" upgrades that might crash your apps00:12
JontheEchidnabut these crashes happen *during* the upgrade, there's nothign we can do to stop that00:12
Tonio_like going from OOo 2 to OOo 3 with openoffice opened :)00:12
JontheEchidnaand fwiw the kded crash is the only one I've seen00:12
Tonio_JontheEchidna: bah we have to test the upgrades before and make sure everything is okay, that's true00:12
Tonio_JontheEchidna: but it's something that can be controlled, a lot more than what happens in this app when going from version a to version b00:13
Tonio_that's very random :)00:13
JontheEchidnaall I'm saying is that kdelibs/plasma updates probably don't require a reboot00:13
daskreechIs ogg123 on the repos for anyone else?00:13
daskreech jackalope00:14
Tonio_one thing is sure : update notifier shouldn't popup the icon while dpkg is still runing00:14
JontheEchidnayeah, that's for sure00:14
ScottKTonio_: Not sure how to avoid that00:14
JontheEchidnadaskreech: install vorbis-tools?00:14
Tonio_ScottK: make a loop and don't display the icon if dpkg database is locked....00:14
daskreechScottK: A PID check ?00:14
Tonio_as simple as this00:14
ScottKMaybe00:14
daskreechJontheEchidna: AAhh that's what I moved to00:14
JontheEchidna<3 command-not-found00:15
Tonio_ScottK: too late for jaunty anyway :/00:15
ScottKGetting reboot required is a simple as touching one file, so we can put that in the postinst of any update we want.00:15
Tonio_that's not critical issue, and is both a matter of code and feature change...00:15
ScottKYes.  We're starting Karmic feature discussions00:15
Tonio_ScottK: if /var/lib/dpkg/lock exists, then wait 10 sec and test again...00:15
Tonio_then display the warning...00:15
eivJust wanted to report that installation of 9.04 beta was successful from USB drive created with USBCreator under Kubuntu 8.10.  The new install boots FAST!  Only "bug" found so far is that I can't install Digikam or kipi-plugins with KPackageKit - it wanted to remove libgpod4-nogtk which was going to remove Amarok.00:16
JontheEchidnaI'd like to get syntax-checking for adding repo URI's in software-properties-kde for karmic, for one thing00:16
Tonio_eiv: yeah, kpackagekit doesn't like package removal.... it's the very first release with it, it'll imprive in the future...00:17
ScottKeiv: amarok in Jaunty will work with either.00:17
Tonio_eiv: not as good as I'd like too, but alway better than adept00:17
ScottKTonio_: I think both are unusably flawed.  I'd prefer we'd shipped no GUI tool to what we have.00:17
Tonio_ScottK: kpackagekit is currently maintained, and there are discussions against the backend issues....00:18
Tonio_ScottK: we always had problem with our package manager anyway....00:18
eivok.  I'll try with adept.  But what your saying is that amarok should be able to exist and play fine without libgpod4-nogtk?00:18
ScottKIt's 2009 and DNS cache poisoning  is here to stay.  Not worrying about cryptographic verification of packages is just wrong.00:18
Tonio_ScottK: but yes, it's far from beeing perfect, I agree.... at least it is maintained and will evolve for sure00:18
JontheEchidnaon the bright side, neither package managers crash quite like Adept 2.x did ;-)00:19
ScottKeiv: You should ugrade with upgrade-manager anyway00:19
ScottKThere's instructions on the wiki00:19
JontheEchidnabefore I got involved in the greater Kubuntu community, I always found adept really unstable00:19
eiv<ScottK>  I know, but I have a spare machine that I thought I would use to test the ISO...00:19
Tonio_ScottK: then don't use a dns cache :)00:19
ScottKTonio_: It's not your DNS cache that's the problem, but your ISP's.00:20
Tonio_ScottK: I was kidding :)00:20
ScottKOK00:20
ScottKAlso we have users that traverse the great firewall of China to get packages from us.00:20
Tonio_ScottK: that's not the main issue with kpk anyway00:20
Tonio_ScottK: not beeing able to insall java is another story from the user perspective imho00:21
ScottKThe lack of cryptographic verification is extremely problemtic for them00:21
Tonio_ScottK: apt-mirror ?00:21
ScottKTonio_: I think we are the ones that understand the technical details.  It's up to us to provide secure infrastructure pieces.00:21
eivTonio_: I had the same problem with Java and KPackageKit - had to use 'apt-get -f install' to fix00:21
Tonio_eiv: that's known issue :/00:22
Tonio_ScottK: that's true, but kpk lacks not only low-level functionnality00:22
Tonio_ScottK: the simple lack of licence support is a problem00:22
Tonio_ScottK: also is the "upgrade" vs "dist-upgrade" stuff00:23
ScottKTonio_: Yes.  Debian KDE team considered it competely unsuitable and is continuing Adept developement.00:23
Tonio_ScottK: and to me that's as important than the cryptography support00:23
eivjust FYI - Adept allowed me to install Digikam, while successfully removing libpod4-nogtk and retaining Amarok with what seems to be full functionality00:23
Tonio_ScottK: they forked adept ?????00:23
ScottKeiv: Please file bugs on kpackagekit.00:23
eivnp00:23
Tonio_ScottK: kpk is probably the one thing we'll have to take care the most for karmic...00:24
ScottKTonio_: They are going to continue development from where it was stopped.00:24
ScottKIt's on the Debian short list for GSoC proposals.00:24
Tonio_ScottK: the reason that make me confident in kpk are the good design00:24
Tonio_kcm modules + policykit and so on00:24
Tonio_but that's not enough for a good package manager, I absolutly agree00:24
Tonio_the thing is that most the the issues are not kpk00:25
Tonio_but the apt backend00:25
ScottKYes00:25
Tonio_ScottK: I heard canonical was considering writting their own backend for it.....00:26
Tonio_ScottK: I think it was Riddell talking about that...00:26
ScottKThere was that smart thing.00:26
ScottKDunno if anything ever came of it.00:26
ScottKBut that's an apt level tool AFAIK.00:26
Tonio_ScottK: but note that the backend receives love and is very far from beeing unmaintained.... that's the advantage against adept00:27
ScottKIf they ever replace apt, then it'll be very hard not to end up a fork from Debian.00:27
ScottKExcept Debian has made the decision to maintain Adept.00:27
ScottKSo it'll be maintained here shortly.00:27
Tonio_ScottK: debian of kde/debian ? not the same thing00:27
Tonio_ScottK: bah if adept proves to be reliable in the future, I have no pb coming back to it00:28
ScottKIt's on the Debian GSoC list, not the Debian/KDE GSoC liist00:28
Tonio_ScottK: to be honnest I would love kpk UI with libapt on the backend...00:29
Tonio_adept has alays been good at what it was doing, except from the UI00:29
eivagreed.  I've always used Synaptic for a GUI00:29
Tonio_kpk UI is very kde, which I like, but yeah, packagekit philosophy is very different from debian... that's another issue00:29
Tonio_also, apt is for the sysadmin, not for my mother00:30
Tonio_I love deb packages, but on that point, rpm is making it better for the end user00:30
Tonio_debconf/ucf/dpkg are way too noisy for John Doe...00:30
JontheEchidnaI don't think that KPK belongs inside a KCM (A package manager could have a KCM, maybe incorporating software-properties) but otherwise the UI is ok for me00:30
Tonio_JontheEchidna: the shame is that when ubuntu probably has the best packages database over all linux distros00:31
Tonio_JontheEchidna: we never had the nice package manager to deal with it properly on kubuntu side00:32
Tonio_JontheEchidna: suse is the opposite, package database crackfull, but super UI...00:32
JontheEchidnaBack when I was a mere user, I always seemed to manager with Adept 2, but it was really slow and unstable00:32
Tonio_JontheEchidna: sometimes I wish there is just one distro, that kicks ass :)00:32
Tonio_JontheEchidna: sure adept 2 was better than adept 300:33
JontheEchidnaI disagree00:33
JontheEchidnaAdept 2 was slow and unstable. The only thing that it has on Adept 3 is that Adept 2 had better search funtions00:33
Tonio_JontheEchidna: disagree about what ? one distro (that was just what my frustration sometimes drives me through)00:33
JontheEchidnathat adept 2 was better than 300:33
Tonio_hum, well we had the super coder, for sure00:34
Tonio_just that seele and him had a different vision of the UI :)00:34
Tonio_I would love to see mornfall work on packagekit apt backend00:34
Tonio_he would or sure be the man for this....00:34
Tonio_if I had the money, I would pay him for that :/00:35
JontheEchidnahe has said before that he feels packagekit is fundamentally flawed, though I can't remember why00:35
Tonio_JontheEchidna: no interraction with the user....00:35
Tonio_JontheEchidna: but really, believe me, the very first thing we are asked for when we deploy ubuntu in corp environment is "how to make updates to shut the f*** up ???????????"00:36
JontheEchidnamaybe my 18 MB #kubuntu-devel logs caught his reasons00:36
Tonio_to me packagekit has to be blessed for that, except it's hard to handle on the backend side with apt strong basis on that point00:37
JontheEchidna[Tue Oct 28 2008] [08:54:04] <mornfall>Yes, people are trying to come up with ways to make things like searching through slow, crappy dbus interfaces work, but that's something I'd just rather avoid.00:37
Tonio_JontheEchidna: can you seriously imagin a french parliamenter having to answer this ?00:37
Tonio_"the file /etc/blablarc was touched by you or a script..."00:37
JontheEchidnalol00:37
Tonio_"what to do ? keep, replace ??"00:37
JontheEchidnaif they're anything like our senators, they'd shit bricks00:38
JontheEchidnaespecially Ted Stevens00:38
Tonio_JontheEchidna: nobody has to be able to response to this question...00:38
Tonio_JontheEchidna: that's why I consider apt great for sysadmins, it makes things simple for them00:38
Tonio_on the other side, I think packagekit has the winning vision for the future, really00:39
Tonio_just it'll take time before the backend fixes the apt support correctly, to be compliant with packagekit philosophy without breaking things00:39
JontheEchidnaaww, my logs end when I switched over to Quassel. :( I guess konversation-kde4 doesn't do logs yet00:39
ScottKTonio_: You can configure apt so you never ever get asked a conffile question.00:40
Tonio_JontheEchidna: yeah, I don't like this with quassel.... I can't "grep" for the logs....00:40
ScottKTonio_: That's my biggest complaint.00:40
JontheEchidnaI'm not using Quassel anymore00:40
Tonio_ScottK: I know I had to do it :)00:40
ScottKOTOH, I have to use Konversation the other day and i totally missed the chat monitor.00:41
Tonio_force-all in dpkg options helps00:41
ScottKhave/had00:41
JontheEchidnaquassel is good, though :)00:41
Tonio_but then you have debconf00:41
Tonio_non-interractive works, true that00:41
ScottKYou can quiet that too00:41
Tonio_but then the licences......00:41
Tonio_etc..00:41
Tonio_it is not easy to do, really00:41
Tonio_ScottK: you can also preseed responses for debconf, I know00:42
JontheEchidnaotherwise I have almost a year of #kubuntu-devel logs00:42
Tonio_ScottK: but for having to do that for years now, I really would like a tool to handle that once and for all on the desktop side00:42
Tonio_I hope kpk to make it decently in the future :)00:42
ScottKYeah.  That's actually the reason ScottK-desktop hangs out here, so my text file logs continue.00:42
Tonio_ScottK: I may be wrong, though, but I'm confident in it00:42
JontheEchidnaWhoa, I've almost been with kubuntu development for almost a year, come to think of it00:42
JontheEchidnaer, I just used almost twice there00:43
ScottKTonio_: I really wish we would switch to new stuff after it works, not in the hope it would work some day.00:43
Tonio_JontheEchidna: is there a ay to auto purge logs in quassel ? looks like growing forever for me....00:43
ScottKSput: ^^^?00:43
Tonio_ScottK: we should take care at this in the future, true that00:43
Tonio_ScottK: but well, then we would still release with kde3....00:43
* ScottK just wants one release with no aspects that are complete crap.00:43
Tonio_ScottK: jaunty + kde4 was a different case00:43
ScottKGutsy was the last release that was good all the way around for me.00:44
DaSkreechTonio_: Better package database than Debian?00:44
Tonio_ScottK: plus adept ain't really better than kpk anyway00:44
nixternalwoo, just cleaned up a few hundred gig of irc logs :) i am now at 4gb worth which is roughly 2.5 years worth00:44
ScottKTonio_: It has some things it's better at.00:44
Tonio_DaSkreech: as good at least00:44
Tonio_DaSkreech: plus we have some softwares they don't still have...00:45
nixternalI had logs from 1990 :/00:45
DaSkreechpackagekit?00:45
* JontheEchidna writes up an amarok 2.1 beta announcement00:45
Tonio_DaSkreech: let's say it's equivalent... it's still better than fedora or opensuse, for which you have to relay on 10 external repos00:45
ScottKYep00:46
DaSkreechIs that because of philosophy?00:46
JontheEchidnaeh? 403'd?00:46
JontheEchidnabut I logged in as webmaster00:46
JontheEchidnaRiddell, ryanakca: has anything changed in regards to the website credentials?00:47
ScottKJontheEchidna: Did you use Firefor or Konqueror?00:47
JontheEchidnaI get 403'd with the webmaster account00:47
ScottKr/x00:47
JontheEchidnaScottK: FF00:47
ScottKOK.  So much for that theory00:47
ScottKGotta run ....00:48
JontheEchidnaNightrose: so amarok 2.1b is available, but I can't seem to make an announcement on the website yet :(00:48
JontheEchidnaNightrose: also, https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-experimental/+archive/ppa/+build/94965500:50
JontheEchidnaqtscriptbindings failure^00:50
* Tonio_ beds....00:55
nixternalJontheEchidna: you need to add all phonon libs in order to get that to build...you can't build qtscriptbindings in its current form without patching it01:07
nixternalactually, you need to patch the hell out of it in order to get it build01:08
JontheEchidnaI'd rather just not backport it01:13
JontheEchidnaRiddell: do we need to rebuild the rest of the KDE modules so that they will keep the translations in their .desktop files?03:32
* JontheEchidna just now realizes that riddell is probably sleeping03:33
ScottKNever can tell with him.03:34
a|wen_do anyone know why there is a "screen-configurations.xml" file in the home-dir on a new install / with a new user?05:30
rmrfslashHey everyone. I just upgraded to 9.04. After installing Kubuntu 8.10, knetworkmanager was able to recognize my Verizon USB modem and connect me to the internet using CMDA. Now, the NetworkManager plasmoid doesn't.06:50
rmrfslashAnyone have any suggestions?06:50
SputScottK, Tonio_: proper log handling and autopurging and fulltext search is definitely something we have on our agenda07:26

androidTonio_: you feel like hacking on something? :D08:20
Tonio_android: I feel like waking up and need to take a shower :)08:20
androidTonio_: hehe :D08:20
Tonio_android: but appart from that any suggestion ?08:20
androidTonio_: I think Ive mentioned this before, but I would really love to see the nm plasmoid using the list of providers for easy config  - the list that gnomes nm-applet uses08:22
android!info mobile-broadband-providers08:22
ubottuPackage mobile-broadband-providers does not exist in intrepid08:22
androiderr08:22
Tonio_android: indeed that would be cool or hsdpa....08:22
Tonio_android: bu tthe lake of maintainance for the nm is a more general issue....08:23
androidTonio_: yeah, its just an auto config list for hsdpa08:23
Tonio_android: too late for any hack in jaunty, but that's something we'll have to discuss in the uds for the long term purpose...08:23
android!info mobile-broadband-provider-info08:23
ubottumobile-broadband-provider-info (source: mobile-broadband-provider-info): database of mobile broadband service providers. In component main, is extra. Version 20081015.1-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 15 kB, installed size 124 kB08:23
Tonio_android: no time for that today, but why not for tomorrow :)08:23
androidTonio_: super stuff :)08:24
Tonio_android: the problem is that I don't have hsdpa device to test...08:24
androidTonio_: really? :/08:24
androidnot even your mobile??08:24
Tonio_android: hsdpa for laptops is pretty rare in france, we are more to have wireless everywhere :)08:24

androidyeah08:25
androidIphones are annoying like that...08:25
* Tonio_ showers and goes to work08:25
Tonio_android: I think we should even consider getting out of networkmanager for instance, since there are nice alternatives coming along08:25
Tonio_android: but that's another story ;)08:25
androidTonio_: hehe, yeah perhaps08:26
androidsomeone remind me of the meta package name for the extra plasmoids?08:29
Mamarokandroid: plasma-widget something I guess09:05
Mamarokit's not plasmoids anymore since 4.209:06

Tonio_Riddell: little ping to let you know I found an interesting backup/restore tool kde4 compatible :)09:50
Tonio_Riddell: not for now, but karmic, of course09:50
Tonio_apachelogger: as we discussed this.... k3b indeed needs the latest polkit-qt, so I may not be able to update the package waiting for karmic :/09:54
LureTonio_: can you ship newer polkit-qt in your ppa - I think jaunty testers would be great for karmic too09:55
Tonio_Lure: hum then I'll have to re-package policykit-kde.... that could break things09:56
* Lure needs to upgrade old desktop first as my laptop does not have DVD writer ;-)09:56
Tonio_Lure: k3b works "decently" right now, so I prefer to wait for karmic to start all of this :)09:56
LureTonio_: I understand, things can get messy quickly09:56
Tonio_Lure: there are more important things in the process09:57
Tonio_Lure: I may have a look this we09:57
Tonio_Lure: but no promiss to do anything :)09:57
Tonio_Lure: I'm trying to package all this.... after all, why not :)10:32

Tonio_Riddell: or fix the desktop file for "nspluginscan && konqueror" ?11:35
* Lure thinks that kdenlive is becoming next KDE flagship app!11:35
Riddell+1 on kdenlive11:35
RiddellTonio_: I'd investigate why the scan at startup has gone11:35
Tonio_Riddell: hum, oki... afaik the option for autodetect on startup has just been droped... no idea if that kde4.2 or generally kde4 historical change.... looking11:36
Tonio_Riddell: uploading kdenlive, thanks11:36
jussi01Lure: why?11:36
Riddell"I'd investigate why"11:37
a|wen_Riddell: updated the feedback page with some bug numbers ... is there still .desktop problems; aren't they gone by now?11:37
Lurejussi01: because it is the best video editing app for linux - both in terms of usability as well as HD/AVCHD support11:38
jussi01Lure: ok, better than cinelerra/lumiera?11:39
Lurejussi01: and it is improving fast11:39
Riddella|wen_: some languages don't have the translations11:39
Lurejussi01: cinelerra still has more options/effects, but it is more complicated to use and AVCHD does not play well there11:40
jussi01Lure: Ive not seen the changes to kdenlive, but if it is really good then we at ubuntu studio need to take another look at it ;)11:40
a|wen_Riddell: if they are in the original .desktop files they get imported to rosetta and used, right? ... so yeah, there is missing translations in some cases; but this has no technical reasons (or am i missing something)11:40
neversfeldeuh, amavis should not ask wether to keep the old config or get maintainers new one :(11:42
Tonio_Riddell: the all code for scaning at konqueror startup has been droped....11:43
Tonio_Riddell: that's probably some long time ago change...11:43
Riddella|wen_: it's just that some of the kde-l10n-xx packages don't have all the desktop_foo.po translations11:44
Riddellfixes are waiting in unapproved queue but won't go through rosetta until the lang-pack updates11:45
ScottKneversfelde: Actually amavisd-new tries very hard to avoid having that come up.11:46
a|wen_Riddell: okay, in that way ... then definitely worth mentioning there11:46
ScottKneversfelde: You should over-ride the package defaults in 50-user to make sure it's the way you want it.11:46
neversfeldeScottK: I deleted the ubuntu defaults, but I probalby should use 50-user11:49

JontheEchidna:)12:37
Tonio_Riddell: couldn't find the information in the svn log :/12:37
Tonio_Riddell: probably was droped cause flash caused konqueror to be unstable, so that the user confirms he wants to use it.... dunno12:39
Tonio_Riddell: well at least, I have to test my patch, then you decide whatever you want... I won't make the decision on that point12:41
Riddellask upstream then12:41

Tonio_Riddell: what do we do then ?13:28
Tonio_imho it is still a problem that you have to restart kde to see your plugin...13:28
Tonio_Riddell: end of the debate.... that's not seen as an issue on their side... we probably don't want to patch and maintain this forever (even if the patch is there and works like a charm...)13:47

apacheloggerstating that having a mac is more expensive than a pc16:53
apacheloggerwith reasons like you need to pay for mobile me to sync stuff while you can have that with windows live for free16:54
apachelogger(of course not mentioning that the windows live mesh stuff is also available for mac, so you could just as well use that and not buy mobile me :P)16:54
apacheloggeralso, for some reason in the scenario a family needs to upgrade their ilive for $99, while windows does not get upgraded16:55
apacheloggeralso good fun is that in the scenario they bought mac office for $149 rather than iwork for $69 (wich would compare better to the preinstalled ms works on the pc anyway)16:56
