> [Sun May 17 2009] [15:03:35] <stu8ball> rmsgnu: Is it true you deliberately named POSIX with a "POS" for "Piece of Shit" in it? [Sun May 17 2009] [15:03:41] <rmsgnu> because not everyone else here was on voice. [Sun May 17 2009] [15:03:43] <telaviv> rmsgnu: so what is the the next big step for the fsf? New software? Winning some court battle? [Sun May 17 2009] [15:03:50] <stu8ball> Given that you're a Lisp hacker I would assume you'd dislike such standardisation efforts. [Sun May 17 2009] [15:03:59] <stu8ball> w.r.t Common Lisp [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:09] <rmsgnu> No, POSIX refers to "portable operating system interface" with an x. [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:23] <telaviv> haha [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:29] <stu8ball> I know that's the _official_ meaning [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:33] <stu8ball> ;) [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:34] <rmsgnu> They were going to call it IEEEIX, which sounds like a screem of horror. [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:34] <rejohn> who is on voip now? [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:50] <sn9> luckily, "mueslix" is already trademarked [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:53] <rejohn> telaviv: where are you now? [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:55] <rmsgnu> I figured nobody would actually call it that and they would instead [Sun May 17 2009] [15:04:58] <vsayer> i'm on voip [Sun May 17 2009] [15:05:09] <rmsgnu> call it "a spec for Unix-like systems". http://www.thelinuxlink.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4058 http://www.thelinuxlink.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=40...
