This was added in relation to Mono/Java. The post states very clearly that a reader gave the pointer/s and this entire site is filled with all the external references that make up the posts.

@G. Michaels

No, the troll responsible for the entire content of this post is Neighborlee, not Twitter.

The massive irony that Lee goes uncredited, when this post’s quote says “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.”, has not gone unnoticed.

Roy, they go after you cause you’re 1) right and 2) in their face about it. Keep up the good work.

Mono/.NOT is a cheap imitation of Java and Javaserver Pages aimed at lock-in. Please, please remember to point out that whenever .NOT is mentioned. Novell’s job is as you point out, to catch FOSS projects with their mouth open.

There are many people who link to this site. This has nothing to do with me. Has it occurred to you that some people want to share what they read? That person you speak of is a reader and regular in the public IRC channel. It's not a friend, but it's someone who actively contributes to BN in IRC. His insight is always appreciated here. You continue trolling, harassing and libeling this site in a pathological fashion. The only equally troublesome troll is eet. The Internet is a big place. You can stop heckling this site 24/7 and read sites you agree with.

I wouldn’t worry about this. Roy has a friend whose main function seems to be to disrupt Slashdot (his hatred of the website is well-known) and promote BoycottNovell at all costs. This ‘twitter’ person (see the IRC logs) operates 14+ accounts on Slashdot:

http://slashdot.org/~SockDisclosure/journal/214377

Just a few examples of the hundreds of instances of blatant promotion and shilling by proxy:

http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=651859&cid=24682165
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=985275&cid=25253715

His handywork can also be seen in the recent Linux.com article about this website, where ‘twitter’ posted anonymously attacking the author and even pasted a link to his Slashdot journal.

So I wouldn’t worry about this too much.

Note: writer of this comment adds absolutely nothing but stalking and personal attacks against readers, as documented here.

Go on, finish your train of thought.

What’s the specific link between a pseudonym I’ve been using for a decade, some guy named AlternateAlias, and a Windows media/game API? You’re obviously inferring something, why not just come out with it?

And out of interest, how does the time you’ve spent pushing MATLAB (rather than, say, GNU Octave) support your ‘advocat[ion of] the use of Open Source technology in the public and private sector’? Have you ever tried doing a patent search on The Mathworks, the proprietary software company you’ve spent your spare time supporting?
