jenkinbr | welome to life with your own net :) | 03:11 |
mr_steve | It's a substantial improvement, my connection no longer drops every 3 minutes. Just ever time the phone rings... ah well. | 03:11 |
jenkinbr | aww | 03:13 |
jenkinbr | dialup? | 03:13 |
mr_steve | DSL | 03:13 |
mr_steve | I've got real bad splices in the basement, the line is just barely clear enough to stay synced... except when the phone rings | 03:15 |
mr_steve | But that's a project for another day, I'm just happy to be able to self-host my blog again | 03:16 |
mr_steve | and get my BBS and Legend of The Green Dragon server back up :) | 03:17 |
katakaio | A blog, eh? I didn't know you were a writer too . . . | 03:17 |
mr_steve | Off and on. Just whenever something fascinates me enough that I feel like writing about it | 03:18 |
mr_steve | Not enough time for random projects these days :( | 03:18 |
katakaio | Yeah, it comes in seasons | 03:18 |

Takyoji | I wonder if the Software Freedom Law Center or FSF will scare off hardware vendors from using Linux | 05:30 |

rlaager | Takyoji: I doubt it. I'd imagine it's all a cost consideration. Right now, they see GPL software as being absolutely free (as in cost), but they're violating the license. | 08:30 |
rlaager | Once they realize that complying with the GPL is almost free (putting source code on your website and a note in the manual is pretty cheap) and not following it is costly (because of SFLC lawsuits), I think they'll choose to comply, which will still be cheaper than writing something from scratch or using other options. | 08:30 |
rlaager | Then everyone gets what they want. | 08:30 |
