15:16.44CosmicPenguinhttp://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/3580
15:16.56CosmicPenguinI think thats bad - too many cooks spoil the broth
15:17.22sorphinwell, it's taken them 2 tries but honda's fixing my front struts now too finally
15:17.43sorphinmorons shoulda done it last time like i pointed out, instead of saying 'no trouble found'
15:37.10jnorkI used to work for Radio Shack. A customer would bring in a radio and complain that it didn't work... we'd try it and, sure enough, it totally failed to power on. So..
15:37.38jnorkWe'd send it in with "doesn't work" as the complain. No, that's no good... we have to give detail.  Sheesh. OK...
15:38.00jnork...We'd send it in with a more detailed explanation, like "won't power on." Pretty unequivocal.
15:38.19jnorkA week later it would come back from repair with the note, "Bench Test OK."
15:38.31jnorkWe'd plug it in and turn it on, and nothing would happen...
15:38.49jnorkThose are the times we wanted to carpet bomb the repair facility.
15:39.15jnorkMy boss figured that "bench test" meant they'd set it on the workbench, and if it didn't fall off, it was OK.
15:39.50jnorkSounds like those people are working for your motorcycle repair shop now.
15:44.16RussCosmicPenguin: considering writing a response to that, but nah
15:44.39Russits hard to believe that more people aren't seeing the purple elefants on the firmware
15:56.00CosmicPenguinRuss: ?
15:57.34Russpurple elefants...they are big, impossible to miss....but due to a little SEP generator, you don't see them
15:58.06CosmicPenguinRuss: all I'm saying is that its your package, so its your right and responsiblity to fight it
15:58.49CosmicPenguinRuss: I just thing that every do-gooder out there that thinks he is doing the right thing by yelling at the company is actually hurting the cause
15:59.46Russwell, people don't really see the infringement that is going on, because they aren't really looking for it
16:00.23Russthey release the source for what they have of mine, which is good, but they have made no effort to notify current customers, or even put a sticker on boxes that haven't sold yet
16:00.35CosmicPenguinRuss: thats not the point I'm trying to make
16:00.50CosmicPenguinRuss: are you happy with some guy contacting Linksys on your behalf without your knowlege or approval?
16:00.59CosmicPenguinEspecially when you have legal counsel working on your side?
16:01.33RussI consider it as noise, and I imagine linksys does too
16:01.49Russalthough, because of all the noise, they'll probably just attmpt to shut of the noise
16:02.05CosmicPenguinI just worry that dilutes the situation - especially when legal matters are at stake
16:02.22CosmicPenguinThis isn't a "Bring back the McRib" campaign - you're claiming damages under US law...
16:02.26Russthats why I haven't posted my full report on /.
16:05.01TimRikerRuss: have you looked at zeroconf? It might be a Good Thing to add to udhcpc ?
16:05.25Russits pretty easy to augment to udhcpc using scripts

16:10.28file[desk]hello GPSFan and chouimat
16:10.44file[desk]what's a McRib?
16:10.54chouimatfile[desk]: prok
16:11.02file[desk]chouimat: what ADSL Modem did you get?
16:11.25jnorkIt's a crappy McDonald's sandwich they introduced a couple times.
16:11.37file[desk]oh ic
16:11.38chouimatefficient but i'm not home so I don't remember correctly
16:11.43file[desk]chouimat: k
16:11.45jnorkThe flavour was all in the sauce.
16:12.35file[desk]nah, westell
16:12.45jnorkI actually kinda liked it the first time they introduced it. Since then, I've apparently formed some taste buds. :)
16:12.54GPSFanfile-mctnlug: hi..
16:13.08file[desk]I like their McChicken burgers...
16:13.22sorphinjnork: wrong
16:13.35jnorkI haven't formed taste buds?
16:13.40jnorkIt wasn't a sandwich?
16:13.47jnorkThe sauce had no flavour?
16:13.54sorphinjnork: no tastebugs, more than a couple times
16:14.07sorphini thought/think it's good
16:14.14sorphinand i'm rather picky
16:14.29chouimathi sorphin
16:15.11jnorkOK, "few" rather than "couple," and my opinion of its taste is just my opinion, not to be taken as definitive.
16:15.21jnorkBetter? :)
16:16.18sorphinjnork:yes
16:16.49CosmicPenguinIt was the only public campaign that I could think of
16:16.53sorphinchouimat1: lo
16:16.59CosmicPenguinMaybe the "bring back the old coke" was a better example
16:17.20sorphinwhich they still now call coke classic
16:17.58jnorkyep
16:18.00chouimatthey still sell new coke? I only saw coke classic here
16:18.12jnorkAFAIK they dropped it.
16:18.14sorphinchouimat1: no
16:18.38jnorkThat's one way to sneak in a spy.
16:18.54file[desk]anybody try that Sprite Ice?
16:19.00jnorkOr a 5th columnist or something.
16:19.23sorphinfile-mctnlug: eh?
16:19.28sorphinfile-mctnlug: i've had sprite remix
16:19.31jnorkNever had it, file[desk].
16:19.40file[desk]it's mint...
16:19.45jnork...
16:19.47sorphinugh
16:19.47file[desk]pop that tastes like mint
16:20.39sorphinjnork: now, i do like sprite remix
16:20.43sorphinkinda tastes like skittles
16:20.47jnorkI haven't tried that either.
16:21.13sorphinjnork: tis worth a try
16:21.28jnorkEh. I don't drink much soda these days.
16:21.37sorphinwell, i don't drink soda at all anymore
16:21.51jnorkAnd then I usually stick to a few of my favorites.
16:25.24jnorkOMG
