<Eggplant> please
<boneski> what about kernel crap?
<opus> We are embarrased by you chilen.
<pablo7> ken "if your not with M$, you have better have your patents in order"
brown
<Arne> linuxlobbyist - He's getting ready to jerk the hook...
<opus> He just needed an adult buddy in the end.
<SystemError> "We don't talk about money with anybody ... but we'll accept
money from anybody," he said.-- Ken Brown, 2004-05-19
<Curt-> This is embarrassing.
<LinuxItch> do you see what he's doing --- he's proving that brown is
'buyable' --- by anyone - including M$
<linuxlobbyist> I can't wait
<mwg> Matter & Anti-matter...
<mmccune> Open to your ideas = I'll believe anything for a buck.
<LinuxItch> he just proved that ken brown can be bought to say anything
<nyet> i can't believe brown is biting
<prl> Please ask about Linux and Minix, pretty please.
<opus> YES! GET STALLMAN HERE!
<Eggplant> prl: go, man, go....
<vladster> Goebals jr.
<nyet> smart lobbiests do NOT advertise their price
<opus> BRING IN RMS IMMEDIATELY!
<opus> BRING IN THE EXECUTIONER.
<ROM> an idea which he calls "hybrid source" and says destroys jobs and "IP"
<mwg> opus: RMS won't come here unless it is renames the GNU/Linux Show.
<LinuxItch> Arne: ask him about the minix thing
<prl> Please ask about ASTs comments! Go on...
<nyet> hahahaah
<vladster> we want richard
<nyet> hahahahahaha
<nyet> that was cute
<Curt-> My respect for Roblimo just went way, way up.
<peragrin> Brown is being an idiot. He still doesn't understand
<LinuxItch> someone please ask about Minix and where he got that load of crap
from
<papercut> mwg: LOL
<ROM> MWG: That's GNU/Richard
<Eggplant> rob's a good guy.
<papercut> Oh fuck off Brown
<LinuxItch> roblimo: beautiful job
<vladster> I don't get no respect
<pablo7> it's GNU/Linux, Mister.
<NZheretic> the Free BSDs would not exist - they all rely on the GCC compiler
toolset.
<linuxlobbyist> Brown just doesn't get it...he's proven that he can be bought
<jose> He is trying to hog the conversation and turn it to where he is
comfortable.
<boneski> papercut, hehe
<toga> Not like the BSD license
<JZA> take the Disney example
<ROM> Yeah, NZ, I think that's why SCO is going after GCC now
<Curt-> How could the GPL put a black mark on RMS? Didn't RMS write it / have
it written?
<JZA> and the lil Mermaid
<vladster> I told the old lady , you're killing me. she replied, you are noit
worth it!
<papercut> GNU/Arne

ATTICA!! LINKSYS! LINKSYS!
<boneski> who's this? ALi g?
<peragrin> BULLSHIT he respects only Money
<papercut> boneski: lol
<prl> Look, he doesn't understand copyright, so talking about "IP" and

<ROM> he respects it but he will badmouth it and write a book on how it's

<vladster> I see where he4 is getting his money when he talks
<LinuxItch> float like a butterfly ... sting like a son of a "B"

<Galik> Then proprietary WILL die :)
<prl> Ask about Toptygin's study
<LinuxItch> i love rob's chuckle
<Eggplant> and again, if the free model becomes more popular, oh, well...
<JZA> but what is it working then!!!
<pablo7> r+e+s+p+e+c+t find out what it means to me...
<peragrin> Did someone ask him about the copyright violations in samizdat
<Eggplant> times change
<opus> I swear Arne and Ken sound idential. Ken is just singing in a lower

<prl> Aww, go on......
<uteck> If it was not for BSD, MS would not be around since they would have to
write their own IP stack.
<Eggplant> forcing static conditions is not possible
<roblimo> peragrin, arguing with a paid advocate is a waste. He's *paid* to

<Ranger> Back to IBM.. Sun.. What does he mean closed and open doesn't mex??
<ROM> you know you know
<LinuxItch> roblimo: exactly right
<roblimo> Note that I'm not arguing positions with him. It's pointless.
<Arne> opus - should I change my voice???

<Eggplant> yes, don't answer the question, evade
<cmcnabb> roblimo: Do we need a "Hire Ken Away" fund?
<pablo7> IP >> 0 == commoditized, ken.
<ROM> is this ESR talking?
<Eggplant> and we do that by commoditizing the software
<Curt-> What he saw coming was a dead end for him, he avoided it.
<opus> Have the kev dude put an echo on him Arne.
<Eggplant> profit
<Eggplant> everyone can profit
<Statman> For someone who's only been kinda, sorta listening while taking help

<roblimo> cmcnabb, we can do better.

<Eggplant> profit
<opus> We are all Catholics here? This guy is a religious racists.
<vladster> The governement paid 700$ for hammers and toilet seats
<LinuxItch> that "we're all capitalists" quote scares me when he repeats it.
he gets paid by the word
<Arne> opus - Like a two or three second echo.
<cmcnabb> rob: I concur. I think Linus would make a much better spokes
person than Ken.
<opus> Yeah Arne.
<pablo7> or the history of the PC, for that matter.
<mmccune> "What is good for GM er Microsoft is good for America!"
<Eggplant> exactly!!!
<peragrin> roblimo: according to SoftwareCEO.com Sanizdat contains copyrighted

<papercut> roblimo: How much do you think he's being paid?
<LinuxItch> opus: he said 'capitalist' not 'catholics'
<toga> Not without tivo patents!!!!

<Curt-> Capitalism: Private ownership of the means of production. Let's not

<Eggplant> chrysler stole ford's IP!

<Eggplant> in the processes?
<LinuxItch> there's a difference between IP in processes and IP in cars
<toga> One-click patent?

[plunk(~plunk-IV@27.110.252.64.snet.net)] Thanks
<LinuxItch> that's fine - but the car ITSELF isn't a secret.
<init2null> patents are supposed to be open trade secrets.
<nyet> car making is well known
<Ranger> So the MS secret is their development process???
<Eggplant> every machine shop around here -- and believe me, it's nothing
*but* auto manufacturing in this city -- all make stuff and use
their own proprietary methods.
<MacBeach> no, he's a bad one.
<roblimo> Bad analogies, people...

<LinuxItch> ask ken brown if he's ever heard of a shop manual that you can buy

<ROM> No more car analogies

<Eggplant> there was no minix code in linux

whatever he has to say, hehe
<prl> Ken, can I introduce you to a company called SCO? They'd love to hear
your "metaphor" theory
<Eggplant> there were ideas that were learned and then turned into a SEPARATE
work product
<opus> Minix is closed source.
<Eggplant> that's how we create NEW STUFF
<stock> opus wrong
<nyet> when we said Linux contains SYSV code, we meant that metaphorically
<prl> Ken ASK Prentice Hall!!
<opus> Minux WAS closed source.
<Statman> Minix -was- closed source. Isn't it open now? (wasn't when Linus
studied it)
<nyet> metaporical literal line by line copyiing

<mmccune> Statman: Minux had the source available but it wasn't Open Source.
<pablo7> what was your point, ken? so what.
<Eggplant> without the book, the software is meaningless

<Galik> Has anyone done the reserch on Microsoft's code?
<linuxlobbyist> I'd have to think carefully about Eric...he's a bit of loose

<Eggplant> look the code over and find what was copied, it's freely available
to be looked through.
<Ranger> We have the internet right here...

<Eggplant> so?
<Eggplant> they DON'T NEED TO
<LinuxItch> That doesn't prove not being guilty - that proves you won't be

<Ranger> MS doesn't indemnify either..
<cmcnabb> Indeminfication is a red herring that means nothing.
<jdr> HP indemnifies.
<NZheretic> In February 13, 2004, Timeline And Cognos ( who were using
Microsoft's SQL ) Settled the "Patent Dispute" [timeline.com] at a
cost to Cognos totaling $1.75 million and license certain of its
patents.
<jose> Neither is MS. Only for the price of the software.

<boneski> Tanenbaum was spot on with that prick
<papercut> yup
<nyet> http://www.thelinuxshow.com/archives/2004/tls-07-13-2004.mp3
[msg(plunk)] ok.
<nyet> is that the link for the mp3 of this show?
<jdr> boneski, Not kidding!
<mwg> mmccune: Most things will, use LAME to boil it down to an MP3 afterwards
, or use Audacity and export to MP3, but the uncompressed sound is
still recorded until you close the session.
<mmap> woah, andy was on the show?
<boneski> Can we get brown and torvalds on?
<NZheretic> Galik : Ken Brown Summery: " Screw you guys, I'm going home."
<nyet> brown torvalds and rob as moderator
<nyet> less others next time
<Galik> lol
<Curt-> mmap, ok. Brown said that he's attacking OSS because there is no
attribution, no indemnification, and because the software is given
away society "loses" what would otherwise have value.
<papercut> Brown bossed the show for a while though (more through bullying
really)
<nyet> i think brown would be better 1v1
SignOff KevDude: #linuxshow (Quit: Leaving)
<jdr> Ken Brown Summary: I agree with everything you say, but you're all full
of shit!
<nyet> he'd get less defensive
<jose> I think the next debate with him should be in writing on Newsforge. He
was given way too much ammo tonight. Expect a lot of what was said
here to be misquoted over the next few days. Right off the bat, the
comments by ESR on using ideas will come back as the Linux community
agrees that it is OK to steal IP.
<Curt-> ESR bullied right back.
<mwg> Eggplant: I just am not clear on how I can find you from that site, but
I'll figure it out. I'm up that way regularly visiting my friend in
Roseville. I was out there today for a bit, actually.
<asaone> one for the books guys
<mmccune> mwg: That is what I thought. I use something similar to listen to
live feeds to conver them to MP3 or OGG.
<NZheretic> The problem is that the Microsoft inspired Wintrolls know that mud
sticks.
<JeffGerhardt> ok if that wasnt worth a few bucks in the tip jar
<jdr> ESR lost his cool.
<BKP> Outta here. Must eat junk food...
<JeffGerhardt> yes eric popped a cork
<papercut> Guys like this will always win in 'real time'. He's a politician

<asaone> yes
<nyet> lies always win in realtime
<MacBeach> You have to give him credit for hanging in there after being so
outnumbered though (he's still hopelessly wrong).
<papercut> Great show Jeff, even without the fish
<JeffGerhardt> hey we need about 500 people to go register domains
<NZheretic> Microosft will keep lieing because the honest truth is
complicated.
<asaone> doing another 50 tonight

<mmap> darl is at home, smacking his wives (he lives in utah, right?)
<MacBeach> hehe
<papercut> NigelS: Leicestershire eh?
<papercut> A bugger to spell
<stock> JeffGerhardt but basicly... if this Ken "the man" is the President of
the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution , i think we all smell a Pony
<NigelS> hehe, on the Warwickshire/Leicestershire border to be exact
<boneski> papercut, not much point you going to bed
<mmap> i think i know what they've been doing at the "toke"-ville institute
<papercut> NigelS: Ah..
<papercut> boneski: Alas you're right.
SignOff Joe: #linuxshow (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.61 [Mozilla rv:1.7/20040617])
<jose> mmap> you got it!
<boneski> stock, a Pony is UK slang for 25 pounds stirling
<JeffGerhardt> I think what you smell
<JeffGerhardt> is the stench of DC politics
<MacBeach> Eric was doing all that yelling at a restaurant? WoW
<stock> boneski sorry.. i ment, i simply cannot believe this man is the
President of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution.
<NigelS> heh, I think it's great, people like that are very frustrating
<jose> MacBeach: you are right! i forgot he was out.
<mmap> he's also the president of the hair club for men
<papercut> Anyone hear gunfire during the show?
<JeffGerhardt> can you imagine the people in the restaurant
<boneski> I bet they were pissing themselves
<NigelS> stock: you say that as though some made up "institution" is an
impressive thing
<MacBeach> I bet ADTI is an 8A company here in DC...he's probably the whole
company.
<boneski> or wanted to strangle brown too
stock wonders if he had enough intellectual luggage to come with that name
<mmap> brown describes him perfectly if he ever meets ESR, especially while
eric is carrying weaponry
<JeffGerhardt> ADTI recently lost their corporate standing.
<JeffGerhardt> But that happens all the time
<papercut> I should think the irc log for tonight will be worth reading
<Severian> MacBeach, It is no Brookings Institution, but it is bigger than
Ken.
<boneski> brown will probably say how he corrected everyone
<JeffGerhardt> lots of companies only file state papers every other year
[JeffGerhardt ] [jeffgus ] [ ] [ ]
[JeffGerhardt ] [jeffgus ] [ ] [ ]
<mmap> most companies file papers, adti smokes theirs
<NigelS> JeffGerhardt: I really can't! we should google for press reports of a
man being detained in a restaurant for disorderly behaviour :)
<boneski> stock, there's also pony and trap for crap
<MacBeach> HAHA

<NZheretic> ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE INSTITUTION
<NZheretic> Number: C1192057 Date Filed: 6/26/1986 Status: suspended
<NigelS> If there is a Rev OS 2 I hope this show gets a mention :)
<NigelS> they could play sections from the show with the IRC log scrolling in
the background in funky fonts
<stock> JeffGerhardt ok here's a good tip : leach and download all papers for
download at microsoft, which mention the Alexis de Tocqueville
Institution .... i wouldn;t be surprised , if it keeps moving along
like this, M$ will remove these
<boneski> he called us librals didn't he
<Severian> NZ, I believ they moved to the DC area. They could be registered
in any state nearby. They did start in California.
<JZA> boneski, but I though I was a commi
<JZA> :)
<mmap> you download mp3s?
<mmap> just kidding..
<NigelS> incidentally the particular use of liberal which you have in the US
seems to be quite different from the UK interpretation
<papercut> Hmm, Tocqueville doesn't seem to keen on the States: "Yet in his
seminal work Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville says, ?I
do not know any country where, in general, less independence of
mind and genuine freedom of discussion reign than in America.?
<NigelS> a liberal here can mean someone who's quite right wing
<papercut> http://webpages.charter.net/jasonevines/tocqueville.htm
<jose> He really didn't know much about anything. His points were very weak.
Darl sounds like a genius compared to Ken
<MacBeach> We call that "classical Liberal" here
<boneski> but has zero chance of power
<NZheretic> Question, if the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution is currently
suspended as a corporation, then you would not have to worry about
pearcing the corporate veil? You can sue the Ken Brown directly
for things such as slander and cyberslander!
<boneski> still, at lest we're his "bothers"
<NigelS> his argument about the people being pressured into using the GP was
farcical
<NigelS> GPL*
<papercut> lol
<NZheretic> http://www.google.com/search?q=cyberslander
<papercut> Yo' bro'
<stock> boneski try to find out if Ken uses gnucash to balance his paychecks
:)
<NigelS> from no where he pulls this concept of "peer-pressure" in the FLOSS
community
<boneski> should have asked how's his julie
<papercut> lol
<NigelS> lol
<boneski> so who's subscribes his address to pr0n spam lists?
<Musashi> gnite to all may the penguin be with you

<papercut> Quite a show
<mmap> actually, the question on my mind is why ken brown bothered to be

those that would listen would be those that are against him, odd.
