User2: all right my friends - I'll be back Wednesday morning
User2: have a good time without me! :)
User2: HUGS HUGS HUGS
User4: cjohnston, balloons, IdleOne, mhall119, and others: thank you for the birthday wishes
User4: I was having fun in cambridge on my birthday :)
User5: nigelb, :-p
User4: User5 :D
User6: User4 sounds fun, hope it was a good trip
User4: Yes, it was!
User4: The only downside was my harddisk crashing while I was there.
User4: Just managed to install Ubuntu on a new one.
User5: nigelb, it sucls to have drives go down, but the re-install is so much saner with ubuntu isn't it :-)
User4: Indeed.
User4: I was on Fedora briefly.
User4: Nope, not my thing.
User7: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2419744,00.asp
User7: "Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Canonical, publishers of Ubuntu, has given up on the idea that Linux (which Ubuntu is based on) will ever supplant Windows, saying that if any OS will be the next big thing it's Apple's iOS or Google's Android"
User8: old
User7: oh
User8: well
User8: semi-old â»
User7: Did Mark actually say that?
User8: In internet time
User8: I dunno where they got that quote from. I have seen it repeated. he may well have said it
User8: but i think dvorak is putting a *touch* of spin on it
User9: me too
User6: User7 sounds like he was probably pointing out that mobile OS's have already out-paced Windows desktop
User7: huh
User7: jo-erlend: perhaps the Malaysia LoCo Team disagrees with Mark and thinks they can fix it :P
User7: jo-erlend: Yes they do... As of 2013 Windows had a 81.54% market share on desktops... Microsoft never had a majority market share over mobiles so the Android/iOS bit is sort of invalid.
User7: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems
User7: jo-erlend: because it was not a talking point when bug #1 was opened
User7: and mobile phones existed then
User6: User7 the question is whether or not bug #1 was desktops-only or personal-computers of which any meaningful definition will include tablets and smartphones
User7: so if Android/iOS was to be used in an arguement in closing bug #1
User7: it could be said that bug #1 was invalid the whole time
User7: since Nokia had a majority market share of mobile for some time
User7: sure but bug #1 did not mention phones it was about desktop and server dominance
User7: so the bug was changed in context
User7: not fixed
User7: it would be like jcastro opening a bug saying Puppet has a majority share of the cloud orchestration space
User7: and then five years from now some changes to markets occur
User7: and the context of his bug is changed and not fixed
User6: User7 it's more like somebody filing a bug that Foo is too slow, then after computing power doubles a couple times over it's no longer too slow
User7: the bug was filed in Ubuntu
User7: and has not been fixed in Ubuntu
User7: Ubuntu was supposed to be the fix
User6: is there really any reason to get worked up over it?
User10: we don't really compete with puppet. :p
User7: User10 that is true
User7: :)
User7: User10 they have local provider :P
User7: User10 I tease
User7: :)
User11: jcastro, look http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/280/1766/20131186.full.pdf
User10: hey I have that dude's book!
