| Teratogen | I just think you had a dumbass attack, Randal. |
| rindolf | Randal: so please don't say it's illegal. |
| Teratogen | can happen to anyone |
| Randal | No - I will continue to point out illegalities. |
| rindolf | Teratogen: WDYM? |
| Teratogen | it was just dumb to run a password cracking program on Intel's time and dime |
| Randal | and by that, I mean misuse of people's ownerships. |
| Teratogen | and since Randal is a smart person he had a DUMBass attack get it? |
| rindolf | Teratogen: sorry, no. Teratogen: forget it. |
| Teratogen | that's the way I see it, sorry, yes. |
| rindolf | Teratogen: OK. |
| Randal | Teratogen - that's completely oversimplifying the story |
| Teratogen | but true. a true oversimplification |
| rindolf | Randal: let's agree to disagree, OK. |
| Randal | there are many aspects to it well - you don't believe in intellectual property I believe that without IP, we don't get expressions of creativity. I'm not sure how you'd do that without IP. |
| hobbs | Randal: all evidence suggests otherwise |
| Randal | people have to eat. :) |
| Teratogen | Randal, have you ever written any GPL'ed code? |
| phroggy | I'd like to see copyright terms shortened considerably. |
| Randal | I've written perl-licensed code, yes. I'd like to see us get back to the original copyright terms yes. |
| rindolf | perlbot: html |
| perlbot | don't use regular expressions! See HTML::TokeParser, HTML::TokeParser::Simple, WWW::Mechanize, HTML::TreeBuilder, etc. |
| Randal | not the life + 75 years like now |
| rindolf | Randal: yeah. |
| hobbs | Randal: No one was creative before 1710, then? :) |
| rindolf | Randal: it's a shame the code from your articles is not FOSS. |
| psybach | perlbot: regexs are fine |
| Randal | artisan support in 1710 was different |
| rindolf | Maybe we should start a Merlyn top-level namespace. |
| Randal | we actually had public funds for artisans |
| psybach | just don't parse the wrong strings =-P |
| Randal | today, it's almost all private sector |
