Re: RMS, Hosts Must Support Boycott?
I may act differently if the FSF boycotts israel. Is the FSF not boycotting Israel? I guess it depends on how you see things, but when Stallman signs on a letter as President of the FSF that he will not come to Israel unless it is at a venue that sponsors an anti-Israel boycott, I don't know what more would be required in order to be able to say with confidence that constitutes a boycott of Israel by the FSF. I will probably not go to any of RMS lectures. I do not think he is anti-Semitic, but he have been at least insensitive. Does everybody not realize Stallman was born Jewish? I wonder if the Arabs who are sponsoring his visit realize that. Or maybe since he has declared himself an atheist they are ok with it. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
USB I/O draining my userspace (Ubuntu Natty 64b)
First, an appology. I added another message on the RMS fiasco only to find out later the threads all died out and I was committing a faux pas. my appologies! please ignore I posted it if at all possible. Second, here's my problem: I have here a workstation running an Athlon 3700+, and part of my job is to occasionally write out an image file to USB universal card reader, testing the product of my builds. The writing takes forever (since I haven't discovered how to get dd to write out the sparse image to the CF card sparsely). Also, untill I moved the card reader to one of the backpanel ports, the write would drag my entire environment to a halt at the same time - even the mouse pointer gets stuck at some point, until dd would finish. switching from front to back panel and adding the oflag=dsync option solved the freַ¯ing of the userspace but not the horrible writing speeds. I have a feeling this is a major bug with the USBstorage driver or some related module, but as this is old hardware running on the latest kernel from Ubuntu, I am surprised. Anyone got a clue?

I question that RMS does his lecturing as a private person, and that he is not engaged because of his connection, not to say identification, with FSF. When organizations place posters advertising his talks, surely he is billed as the head if FSF; nothing else makes sense. If that is true, then he is not speaking as a private person, and he (or his spokesman) is not speaking as a private person when giving detailed instructions about the bona fides and anti-Israel attitudes of sponsors and any organizations that might be associated with his engagement, and the kashrut of the hall itself and its owners. No, that is way beyond any fallacy of guilt by association. The fallacy is that he is a private person when he speaks publicly, and can say or do whatever he wants with no blowback on FSF.
