Novell and Microsoft talk business
,----[ Quote ]
| In Which a Bit of That Good Old-Fashioned FUD is Spread around
|
| Hereâs a slide where the gentleman from Novell talked up the 3 pillars of
| value that the Novell-Microsoft collaboration delivers:
|
| "Intellectual Property"
|
| Thereâs that good old âpeace of mindâ codeword that Microsoft and Novell love
| so much to throw around. How does one reconcile Novellâs statement that
| the âagreement with Microsoft is in no way an acknowledgment that Linux
| infringes upon any Microsoft intellectual propertyâ with the constant
| marketing that only Novell can offer âIP peace of mindâ and the bullet point
| that âMicrosoft and Novellâ provide âpatent coverageâ?
|
| A little fancy dancing, perhaps?

Mono advocate offers Mono-free Ubuntu remix
,----[ Quote ]
| It is not certain that future Ubuntu versions will be dissected in this
| manner, though; in response to a query which followed his post, he said that
| it all depended on whether a community built up around it as he did not have
| the time to keep creating the CLR for every new Ubuntu version.

Is the âMono warâ unproductive?
,----[ Quote ]
| Anytime someone squeezes out a discredited pro-Mono argument, anyone who has
| bothered to read this blog knows that person is ignorant. Anytime someone
| tries to pretend that every single Mono critic is a frothing-at-mouth
| irrational zealot, anyone who has bothered to read this blog knows that
| person is ignorant. And so on. So Iâm thinking that Iâm meeting my goals and
| being productive just fine, thankyouverymuch.
|
| Itâs easy to make the other side look like a failure if you redefine thier
| goal, methods and motivations.

Pro-mono Zealotry
,----[ Quote ]
| What this does illustrate, I think, is something that is already obvious to
| anyone that has been following the Mono controversy: there are people that
| are just as âextremeâ and unwilling to listen to reason as the most zealoty
| charactertures painted by the Broad Brush of the Most High and (Self)
| Righteous Community Gatekeepers.
|
| You can spot these people by the mindless regurgitation of other peopleâs
| talking points and the inability to make even the slightest concession to any
| opposing argument; the gleeful participation in any manner of attack or
| disinformation; the uncritical embrace of anyone or anything that supports
| thier position. A sure sign is charging the opposition with the very crimes
| they themselves are in the act of commiting.
