Text of the page (random words):
ac so much is not because i think the apple ads are stupid but mostly because i hate eye candy eye candy serves no functional purpose and exists just to make your product look like something captain kirk would use and i think microsoft and apple really really need to tone it down a lot the only time the user would benefit from transparency is in the womens locker room for those of you that will reply i can see my desktop underneath the open windows save your time and energy im really not interested im sure the superbar was inspired a lot by the dock in os x sorry microsoft if you realy expect me to believe you got the idea for that from windows 1 0 try a little harder what windows 7 will bring to the table it gives something for the gnome and kde guys to copy in some ways it will improve the user experience in other ways it will hinder the user experience users will have to take the good for the bad aside from great performance on older systems i honestly didnt see anything from windows 7 that makes me go oh yeah i really want that but thats just me i see a lot of people who may have considered switching to the mac or to linux waiting to see what microsoft has under its sleeve and to see if microsoft can salvage the windows brand windows 7 really will impact the way people will view linux on the desktop for the year of the linux desktop to be now linux vendors will have to find some compelling reason to get users over now rather than later once windows 7 is released and the wow factor kicks in linux vendors are going to have a hard time getting people to switch and i am sorry fud mongering and getting people like self experts randall kennedy eweeks jason brooks and people who never used the product to come forth and say windows 7 sucks wont do anything too many people like the product already even in alpha form and unless microsoft really really fucks up its actually going to be really really nice at rtm mccain just doesnt get it october 13 2008 posted by rjdohnert in 1 add a comment ok this post isnt about tech but i figured what the hell i would chime in my thougts on the state of the election i have always voted republican this go around was going to be no different until i started looking at the issues and looking at both parties i consider the presidential elections a very serious event we are choosing our leader for the next 4 maybe 8 years and this one has been one clusterfuck after the other first off lets look at mccain mccains been acting like a jackass he avoids the issues when at all possible and has resorted to theatrics and basic playground insults to keep obama out of office when he brings up obamas voting record in the senate he follows up by not telling us how he voted on the same issue but rather on a different isssue altogether he tries to showboat yet he doesnt have the same same charisma that lets say steve jobs or larry ellison has he is just vanilla to me and im sorry i need more than just someone who is going to sit on the stage and hobble around like a 90 year old who od ed on viagra then there is palin i tried really really hard to like palin i read about the woman and i liked what i saw and i was like he made the right choice then after i start hearing the press releases and then i went and saw her speak as well as the debate and my thought was what a moron she like mccain just dont get it they throw around the word maverick they are mavericks and they are going to maverick their way into the white house i dont want a maverick in the white house and i sure as hell dont want two mavericks in the white house we need leaders whats the difference a maverick is someone who doesnt run with the pack and who fundamentally makes decisions based on their own desires where as a leader is someone who will listen to others who will take the reigns when a difficult decision needs to be made someone who will sacrifice even himself personally if thats what it takes to execute does mccain or even palin have that characteristic i dont think so now look at obama i have a lot of respect not just because he is black obama has sacrificed a lot for this run despite what people say racism is still alive and well and if you hear most of the rhetoric about obama its because of his color people think he is an arab he isnt they think he pals around with terrorists he doesnt and yet despite everything he keeps campaigning and his life is under a microscope right now by his naysayers just looking to knock him off his branch coming from a military background i can say this i have seen some great soldiers who turned out to suck as commanding officers and i have seen some piss poor soldiers who turn out to be true leaders one statement mccain made that i do agree with is that the job of president doesnt allow for on the job training as far as im concerned being a senator and being a president are two totally different jobs and whoever gets the job will have to endure on the job training whether its mccain or obama i think obama is fit for the job of president does he have the polish i dont think so but i will endure someone who will do 115 to get the job done to execute decisions and to think outside the box than someone who thinks they are gods gift to politics he talks just to hear himself speak and who has a record of avoiding serious issues and just calls himself a maverick because its good campaign talk google chrome and i m a pc september 19 2008 posted by rjdohnert in 1 4 comments well guys im back and i picked probably two of the most controversial subjects i can possibly pick first google chrome i used chrome on both a windows machine and via linux and while i tried really really hard to like google chrome i just dont its not that its not technically sound it is chrome uses webkit and is fast but i just didnt like the interface and i just dont see the point behind chrome there are enough browsers especially windows based ones the idiot who thinks google chrome will develop into a web os is out of his f king mind the two killers of chrome a its windows only they promise a linux and mac version but i seriously doubt they will come to pass on linux most of google apps turn out to just run in wine or are very poor ports of their windows counterparts ie google gadgets and google desktop picasa is great i ship it with pc os but the problem with using wine is that with chrome its will be much more difficult to pull off mostly because of the multi process architecture if you need an example of chrome sucking on wine check out crossover chromium try watching flash content with that sucker try playing an online game the experience sucks b how does this make the web better you can implemement the functionality using ie and firefox wait its being done already so back to my original question why c chrome to me just feels like a me too product how is this going to reignite the browser wars when its so limited in what it can do people like hearing about companies taking on the evil empire and trying to crumble the walls of tyranny and i think this is whats the hype the hooray google released the gbrowser sentiment is taking over not the technical aspects of chrome because if you go by the technical merits of chrome you dont have a leg to stand on i have been watching the chromium group on google groups and have been talking to colleagues and friends about it and we all come to the same conclusion as in the old 80 s commercial wheres the beef who knows when google chrome gets released for multiple systems to where the experience doesnt suck and when it comes out of beta i may change my mind but until that time my attention just isnt peaked the next topic of conversation is im a pc these are the ads that microsoft is running to counter apples ads i personally like them more than apples at least microsofts ads dont try to make me feel like a moron for buying a pc but the one thing that i dont think anyone else has ever noticed in apples ads the mac justin long played in the movie live free or die hard as a computer hacker well the mac in that movie used pc s not apple branded systems so apparantly he is a pc too great ads sabbatical over september 14 2008 posted by rjdohnert in 1 add a comment ok my sabbatical is over i do plan to start blogging tech again and my first post will be tomorrow and will cover google chrome this site will have little to no info on pc os if you want info on that by all means go to the pc os development blog paypal supports fraud august 10 2008 posted by rjdohnert in 1 3 comments i sold an sgi pentium machine on ebay recently one of the extras i had laying around it didnt have an hd but upon testing and using a livecd distribution everything worked and i shipped the item when the buyer received the item he was happy with his purchase he left positive feedback and that was the end not so the buyer emcva francisco diangelo ebay user rezy144 16 days later filed a claim with paypal stating the machine was improperly packaged of course which was a lie because i used secure foam and the machine was packed very tightly then he claimed the machine wouldnt power on which also a lie so i challenged it i provided paypal with all information the e mails that the buyer sent on july 10 2008 that everything was working fine feedback and the fact that after the receive date i didn t receive any e mails or notice from rezy regarding anything about the machine i even had to explain to paypal about a bootable linux distribution and what it could do you would think that with all that mountain of evidence paypal would be siding with the seller wrong he has to ship the machine back to me in the original condition and they gave him a full refund now according to the operator if i can resell that machine on ebay then i can do that but if he sends it back to me in the original condition that means that it would work fine so why in the bloody bluest blazes of hell would he ship it back either way its fraud so basically paypal is supporting the buyer defrauding a seller i sent them evidence that the buyer was happy it was shipped in a good working condition as one of my employees was one who also tested and verified the machine yet they still provided a refund because he used the words that he knew would get him a refund item didnt work as described so in the world of ebay and paypal the seller is immediately the bad guy you get no support update after receiving the machine back it doesn t power on at all and there were components missing ie no processor which would explain why the machine wouldn t come on the machine shipped with a processor fyi if you are going to screw someone make sure you ship all the parts back to the seller im actually considering criminal charges against the buyer for fraud my lawyer already told me its something i can pursue despite the 50 00 price tag obtaining property by false pretenses is a felony and property can be monetary or physical property i m also considering a civil action against him and paypal as co defendants update 2 september 4 2008 after filing a complaint with the state attorney generals office paypal has refunded the 50 00 and paid my attorneys fees so that leaves mr frank diangelo from emcva now as my lawyer has advised me i can have him prosecuted under state law for obtaining property by false pretenses which i will reiterate is a felony under nc state law but what the hell i think 1 534 views of this topic alone is embarassment enough if he tries to come after me civily whether paypal goes after him for the money i have 2 years to prosecute him either way im happy i thank paypal as they did the right thing does the verizon settlement give the gpl teeth march 23 2008 posted by rjdohnert in 1 1 comment so far sadly the answer is no the verizon settlement did not change anything at all verizon settled out of court the gpl needs to have a definitive win not a settlement companies get sued for everything these days hell starbucks coffee company got sued for tips companies when dealing with lawsuits must decide which ones are worth fighting and which ones are just cheaper to dispose of i am not surprised verizon settled in the long run it made sense to them this isnt a core part of their business now if it had attacked a core part of their business they probably wouldnt have settled and fought this and kept it tied up in the courts until the developers of busybox were welcoming the birth of their second great grandchild in a word this was a non event i look forward to the day when the gpl get a definitive rock solid win in a court of law until then this is business as usual the future of darl mcbride march 7 2008 posted by rjdohnert in 1 add a comment now that darl is no longer the ceo of sco i have thought whats he going to do he has a family a man needs to earn a living so i have come up with a list for darl sort of like lettermans top 10 but for darl 10 become a farmer utah is a main state on the frontier farming is in his blood as he has said before and everyman at one point or another should embrace his roots 9 go work for the airlines airlines are always getting sued but darl could bring about a new age his company could sue the other for using planes after all wings and the fuselage need a specific design delta could be committing patent infringement 8 become steve ballmers replacement go ahead and continue down the path can you imagine the most hated man in tech working for the most hated company in tech a match made in heaven 7 start his own linux distribution 6 start his own chain of mcdonalds they use sco unixware and he could serve up penguin burgers 5 work for starbucks starbucks is a unique environment and darl could survive off of starbucks he has that plastic smile that would let him fit right in as a starbucks barista or even a starbucks executive 4 go work for sun anyman who can talk millions of dollars out of mcnealys hand has my respect 3 best buy is always excepting applications 2 make his own line of fine linens and cookware sell them at sears and sue martha stewart 1 become a legal consultant so there we have it folks a few ideas for darl mcbride whatever he does i wish darl mcbride the best of luck for his future microsoft announcement february 21 2008 posted by rjdohnert in 1 1 comment so far so what did microsoft announce today it was a major happening and while it alleviates some of the pressure on developers of samba and other interoperability solutions it does open up some questions lets go over the announcement microsoft corp today announced a set of broad reaching changes to its technology and business practices to increase the openness of its products and drive greater interoperability opportunity and choice for developers partners customers and competitors we are microsoft all your base belongs to us
