    @michao dude last time i checked, i was able to convert from mp3 to ogg easily and i guess things haven’t changed since then…

    @JD ok i tried to listen to this ComputerActionShow and it stinks big time!!!!! yep i agree never never play it while eating… Haiku from SE1 looks awesome! looking forward for the betas.

    @Jeremy thanks a bunch for the talk over Con Kolivas, but i could not find his homepage or something, went thru his interviews and totally agree with him.

    OK this might be asked so many times, but how does BSD stack against Linux in terms of performance?

    Hey guys,

    First things first, I run Arch linux (kdemod) and Top Gear rocks, you need to end all episodes like you did episode 8.5. Second is I’d love to know your opinions on the recent USPTO decision to grant MS a patent on ‘sudo like behavior’. If you read the actual patent application its worded sooo loosely that they could be patenting just about any piece of software. Thoughts? Something like this could turn out to be incredibly dangerous to the FOSS Community

    JD, thx for your opinion about chromium. I’ve installed newest version and I was really suprised how this browser has been improved in last weeks/months. In my opinion nowadays, chromium is more stable and faster than firefox. I am looking forward to hear yours next show. Akurat.

    Forensic dating system. Nice. Rather than posting the date of the podcast, I’m made to find the earliest listener comments to approximate the date of the podcast, thereby lending a time-frame context for the shows.

    Hello? This is a clue. (insert podcast F**** slang here)
