I've been getting rumours/"leaks" about Canonical planning to buy #OpenSUSE from #Novell . !ubuntu #suse (source not named/verified)
-
@schestowitz It is a stretch, but if they did what would they do with all the anti fs Novell has?
-
@schestowitz *ahem* next time maybe, y'know, *verify* them, then? thanks. !ubuntu
-
@schestowitz Must read your posts properly forget my last enquiry
-
@schestowitz do they HAVE enough money?
-
@schestowitz oh.. just #OpenSuse I thought you meant buy #Novell hahaha, right.
-
@schestowitz How long have these blips been out there?
-
@satipera It's not about Novell, which still has ~20 bidders 2 buy the company (source: WSJ). The source of the rumour is said to be can dev
-
@schestowitz so will OpenSuse become based on Debian?
-
@alpacaherder I heard about it just an hour ago. Source said to be from Canonical (but not direct quote, also verbal)
-
@schestowitz @ender2070 Would they shut down Suse ??? What could happen ???
-
must sources be shared for journalism to be Free? :-) @schestowitz: I heard about it just an hour ago. *Source* said...
-
@lxoliva anonymous leaks are part of journalism too- sometimes, the most important part
-
sometimes anonymity is the first crack in a regime that freedom can flow through
-
@openuniverse fully agreed. it's just that I'd never thought about sharing sources in the context of journalism, and found it amusing
-
@lxoliva well it's good to name sources when they don't care about anonymity- depends though- if they S…
-
@lxoliva I did ask for the name
-
@schestowitz @openuniverse don't sweat it, I'm not pressing for anything. it was nothing but a joke about Free Software journalism
-
@lxoliva Too much transparency deters whistle blowers.
-
♺ @openuniverse: sometimes anonymity is the first crack in a regime that freedom can flow through
-
@schestowitz yup. Free press != open-source journalism ;-)

@openuniverse What do you think about this buffoon? - GOP Congressman Mike Rogers Suggests Death Penalty For Wikileaks… http://ur1.ca/0zv2i

-
@openuniverse Besides dress & using diff name for god, #rightwing xtian extremists also worship #freemarket #capitalism. Dead giveaway! :)

@lamm there is no god other than elohim ( even though the word "elohim" is plural ;)

@openuniverse That'd make for an awesome remix of Marvin Minsky's "Alienable Rights". http://ur1.ca/0zvij

@openuniverse After leaving the army, I went from apathetic "humanity is the problem" to "I better do something & not just complain."

@lamm besides, "humanity is the problem" is a case of mistaken identity, and you're probably sick of th…

@openuniverse Meant more in sense of my socio-political awareness. I'm sorta "envious" of ppl who starter younger. I did reverse :)
-
@lamm "humans are so massive that it would be unthinkable to send one back-despite all the stories in Weekly World News"~!q ALIENABLE RIGHTS
-
@lamm I rather enjoyed that, thanks.
-
Marvin Minsky is one brilliant H. sapiens. :) I first heard about him on my intro philosophy class. I was floored.
-
@lamm That was very cool & very funny.
-
@lxoliva there's an odd thought. Press can only claim Freedom so long as they respect it?
-
@lxoliva doubtful. probably a good idea where they don't need protecting though.
