=== locobot_5_2 is now known as locobot_5 === h00k_ is now known as h00k [03:10] Yay I'm finally off the neighbor-net [03:10] lol [03:11] welome to life with your own net :) [03:11] It's a substantial improvement, my connection no longer drops every 3 minutes. Just ever time the phone rings... ah well. [03:13] aww [03:13] dialup? [03:13] DSL [03:15] I've got real bad splices in the basement, the line is just barely clear enough to stay synced... except when the phone rings [03:16] But that's a project for another day, I'm just happy to be able to self-host my blog again [03:17] and get my BBS and Legend of The Green Dragon server back up :) [03:17] A blog, eh? I didn't know you were a writer too . . . [03:18] Off and on. Just whenever something fascinates me enough that I feel like writing about it [03:18] Not enough time for random projects these days :( [03:18] Yeah, it comes in seasons === marty is now known as Guest77997 [05:25] wow freenode sure is b0rken tonight [05:27] * Takyoji netsplits mr_steve [05:30] I wonder if the Software Freedom Law Center or FSF will scare off hardware vendors from using Linux [05:30] http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/12/sflc-launches-gpl-enforcement-smackdown-on-14-gadget-makers.ars === mr_steve_ is now known as mr_steve [08:30] 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] 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] Then everyone gets what they want.
