r_schestowitz | Well… They didn’t cheat european tests, it’s just the european tests have nothing to do with real-life use-cases for the cars in question. Which is a result of the car industry writing the laws for these tests. | Oct 18 10:11 |

r_schestowitz | > Glad you've been able to take legal advice. No-one in my team of writers knows much about defamation, though there is a feeling that an action would be hard-pressed to succeed under UK defamation law given the public interest dimension and the problems that the EPO would face in showing any loss. In addition, the EPO would expose itself to a good deal of unwanted publicity and to the disclosure for the purposes of litigation of | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | information which it has not hitherto been willing to make available. This latter consideration might reasonably lead one to think that the EPO will not want to have its bluff called and face real litigation in England and Wales. | Oct 18 19:52 |

r_schestowitz | Thank you, Madam. :-) | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | I look forward to your next post (I've been subscribed because of you). | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | In social media I have called for people to leak any threatening letters they received from the EPO, I.U. or any external legal firms. Many anonymous EPO people are following me, so I hope some of them have something to share in the coming week. How widespread is this phenomenon really? Inside the institution? Outside of it? Have any MEPs who publicly complained about the EPO's management (that's over 100 MEPs) received letters accusing | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | them too of defamation? Who knows, they send these letters to activists/campaigners like myself, and I reckon journalists too, not just staff, independent boards and unions. | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | Recently, Ms Hardon or a colleague (or follow union leader) leaked threatening letters and her response to it (via a legal firm), accusing the EPO is "institutional harassment", as per definition of harassment. Hardon is not the only one facing such abuse, but it's hard to properly anonymise such letters, so not many people come out or come forward to make their cases known/publicised. I wonder how many people surrender and maybe even get | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | manipulated (payment, apology); remember that the letter sent to me still had someone else's name (a German name). It was clearly a rushed job. Maybe they did this in bulk in preparation for what I was told on Friday is a new media strategy of Battistelli (to start this week). | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | I wish to remind you that Topic probably did this before, even back in Croatia. A blogger who expose his corruption (bribes) took down the article and posted an apology. It was very weird; there was almost definitely strong-arming. At the same time, a defamation case in Croatia (over the allegations in this article) was lost by Topic, giving credibility to this story. It was only months later. In the internal EPO site the 'apology' ( | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | placement) was linked as 'proof' of Topic being innocent, yet nothing was said when shortly after he lost his defamation case in Zagreb. | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | believe that Topic faces something like 6 criminal charges in Croatia, yet Battistelli found it possible to appoint him Vice-President and make him his right-hand man (EPO staff say he's like the bulldog in the building now). Having been compelled to review Topic's record, Battistelli's people conducted a very bogus 'internal investigation' (I wrote about this a long time ago), so I reckon they see nothing wrong with his antics. No wonder | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | they now do in Germany what some deem "Balkan standards". | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | 5 people in the EPO committed suicide in recent years. Given information that I have in my possession but have not published yet (it would cause chaos), I think the above abuse may have something to do with at least some of them. | Oct 18 19:52 |

r_schestowitz | Dear Mike, | Oct 18 19:56 |
r_schestowitz | I spoke to a fellow blogger who has been covering the EPO scandals for a couple of years and she says something similar -- that they don't have the power to bring legal action. Judging the letter itself, a professional said it's more like a "prank letter" (his words) written in an effort to intimidate (SLAPP), apparently not just me but other people too. | Oct 18 19:56 |
r_schestowitz | I believe that some time later this month this will go public; people who have receive such threats (not just myself) need help from legal professionals here, as the EPO is clearly misusing its legal immunity (they are exempted from European law) to bully dissent/critics, even outsiders. | Oct 18 19:56 |

schestowitz | I have just reread my own post. Totally defensible, even by citing mainstream media interpretation of the leaks (original and authentic). Only if you think that it is worth taking down the post will I do so. | Oct 20 18:29 |
schestowitz | If the criteria for takedown (and apology!) is as terrible as in that last one (worse an example than the first), then they can just libel-troll a lot of other articles, as they probably already do against other people (the totally wrong surname in the first letter serves to confirm this). | Oct 20 18:29 |
schestowitz | This whole campaign of libel-trolling, which I presume is the frantic result of Grant and others potentially risking the sack (for their actions and the resultant public outcry from European lawyers, i.e. the clients of EPO), is ideologically indefensible. | Oct 20 18:30 |
schestowitz | I believe that IAM was somehow complicit in helping the EPO here because they're longtime foes of mine and they leaked TWO original documents that I gave them confidentially while TWICE telling them to absolutely NOT publish (they did anyway, compromising my sources). | Oct 20 18:30 |

I suggest to you to try other distros if you love KDE software like Plasma. You could try Kubuntu 15.10 released today, or KaOS or other distro with KDE spin. Anyway if you love previous Plasma (not Plasma 5) you could use Kubuntu 14.04 LTS or Chakra that provide the first Plasma :-) ( | Oct 22 18:24 |

schestowitz | [22:31] <marktaff> schestowitz: I had it lock up durin 15.10 do-release-upgrade as well. I rebooted, incanted 'dpgk configure -a' (someone verify that command pls) And it finished fine, excpet in my case I had major issues as I had to install the new nvidia 352 driver to get kde to work at all. HTH | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:31] <amichair> that's what I would do, but if you're in no hurry, perhaps you should wait for someone with a bit more experience to join here | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:32] <schestowitz> maybe I'll wait, I really appreciate your help, amichair, and I am happy to see I'm not alone with such an issue | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:32] <amichair> no problem. I haven't upgraded yet, but this sort of thing has happened to me in more upgrades in the past than I'd care to remember | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:32] <schestowitz> the upgrade resolved a HUGE issue I had in kubuntu 15.04 and suffered from for 6 months (performance issue with plasmashell and kwin | Oct 22 23:04 |

schestowitz | [22:34] <amichair> looking at the man page, it looks like dpkg configure -a only re-does the configuration part, not the unpacking | Oct 22 23:04 |

schestowitz | [22:38] <schestowitz> amichair: I killed it as root, now I use sudo dpkg --configure -a and it seemingly resumes where it left off, in the CLI. I hope the cleanup stage of "wily" (upgrader) isn't imperative to getting it to work, maybe also some configuration like grub and whatnot... | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:39] *** Vtec234 is now known as Vtec233355. | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:39] <amichair> schestowitz: I'm not sure if it does more than apt-get autoremove/clean or such | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:39] <amichair> also try the apt-get thing afterwards just in case... it can't hurt | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:40] <amichair> (if there are no broken dependencies it won't do anything) | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:40] <marktaff> I followed the dpkg command with am apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. In my case, the command said nothing to be done, and the base system seemed fine via ssh, but kde was totally useless for me until I added in the nvidia ppa and installed the 352 driver. | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:41] <amichair> marktaff: sounds like you finished the unpacking stage at least... schestowitz crashed in the middle of that | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:42] <marktaff> amichair: it's been a long frustrating day, but I seem to recall it locking up about 80% of the way through unpacking. I could be wrong though. :-) | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:43] <schestowitz> that's what happened to me | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:43] <schestowitz> about 80% | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:43] <schestowitz> while going through the already-downloaded packages | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:44] <amichair> marktaff, schestowitz: please do report the bug with the stacktrace... so it will be fixed before I try to upgrade :-) | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:44] <marktaff> yeah, the downloading only took me about 4 minutes (big pipe). | Oct 22 23:05 |

schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> Y or I : install the package maintainer's version | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> N or O : keep your currently-installed version | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> D : show the differences between the versions | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> Z : start a shell to examine the situation | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:51] <schestowitz> So... a bit irregular, I guess | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:51] <amichair> yeah, that's actually standard I think | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:51] <schestowitz> maybe the python front end thing couldn't render that as a window, at least that's my wild guess | Oct 22 23:06 |

schestowitz | "In 1988, as perestroika opened up opportunities for privatization in the Soviet Union, Abramovich got a chance to legitimize his old business.[9] He and Olga set up a company making dolls. Within a few years his wealth spread from oil conglomerates to pig farms and he also started investing in other businesses." | Oct 24 23:38 |
schestowitz | "Chris Hutchins, a biographer of Putin, describes the relationship between the Russian president and Abramovich as like that between a father and a favorite son. Abramovich himself says that when he addresses Putin he uses the Russian language's formal "Вы" (like Spanish "usted", German "Sie" or French "vous"), as opposed to the informal "ты" (Spanish "tú", German "du" or French "tu"). Abramovich says that the reason is because 'he is | Oct 24 23:40 |

It was speculated that a future divorce settlement (amounting to a conjectured £5.5 billion (€6.5 billion)) might be the highest ever on record. The Abramoviches replied that neither had consulted attorneys at that point.[71][72] However, they later divorced in Russia in March 2007, with a settlement reported as being US$300 million (€213 | Oct 24 23:42 |

schestowitz | "He owns a private Boeing 767-33A/ER, registered in Aruba as P4-MES. It is known as "The Bandit" due to its cockpit paint detail. Originally the aircraft was ordered by Hawaiian Airlines but the order was cancelled and Abramovich bought it from Boeing and refitted it to his own requirements. He also owns a Dassault Falcon 7X with registration LX-MES. It's called the 'Mini bandit'" | Oct 24 23:43 |

r_schestowitz | It looks like another new scandal in the making as I'm not the only target of such letters. Let's not mention anything publicly just yet. | Oct 18 14:27 |

r_schestowitz | > | Oct 18 19:51 |
r_schestowitz | > Glad you've been able to take legal advice. No-one in my team of writers knows much about defamation, though there is a feeling that an action would be hard-pressed to succeed under UK defamation law given the public interest dimension and the problems that the EPO would face in showing any loss. In addition, the EPO would expose itself to a good deal of unwanted publicity and to the disclosure for the purposes of litigation of | Oct 18 19:51 |
r_schestowitz | information which it has not hitherto been willing to make available. This latter consideration might reasonably lead one to think that the EPO will not want to have its bluff called and face real litigation in England and Wales. | Oct 18 19:52 |

r_schestowitz | > The IPKat's Around the Weblog item tomorrow will be leading with some comments about the EPO's reluctance to foster sensible discussion and debate. | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | Thank you, Madam. :-) | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | I look forward to your next post (I've been subscribed because of you). | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | In social media I have called for people to leak any threatening letters they received from the EPO, I.U. or any external legal firms. Many anonymous EPO people are following me, so I hope some of them have something to share in the coming week. How widespread is this phenomenon really? Inside the institution? Outside of it? Have any MEPs who publicly complained about the EPO's management (that's over 100 MEPs) received letters accusing | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | them too of defamation? Who knows, they send these letters to activists/campaigners like myself, and I reckon journalists too, not just staff, independent boards and unions. | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | Recently, Ms Hardon or a colleague (or follow union leader) leaked threatening letters and her response to it (via a legal firm), accusing the EPO is "institutional harassment", as per definition of harassment. Hardon is not the only one facing such abuse, but it's hard to properly anonymise such letters, so not many people come out or come forward to make their cases known/publicised. I wonder how many people surrender and maybe even get | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | manipulated (payment, apology); remember that the letter sent to me still had someone else's name (a German name). It was clearly a rushed job. Maybe they did this in bulk in preparation for what I was told on Friday is a new media strategy of Battistelli (to start this week). | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | I wish to remind you that Topic probably did this before, even back in Croatia. A blogger who expose his corruption (bribes) took down the article and posted an apology. It was very weird; there was almost definitely strong-arming. At the same time, a defamation case in Croatia (over the allegations in this article) was lost by Topic, giving credibility to this story. It was only months later. In the internal EPO site the 'apology' ( | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | placement) was linked as 'proof' of Topic being innocent, yet nothing was said when shortly after he lost his defamation case in Zagreb. | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | believe that Topic faces something like 6 criminal charges in Croatia, yet Battistelli found it possible to appoint him Vice-President and make him his right-hand man (EPO staff say he's like the bulldog in the building now). Having been compelled to review Topic's record, Battistelli's people conducted a very bogus 'internal investigation' (I wrote about this a long time ago), so I reckon they see nothing wrong with his antics. No wonder | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | they now do in Germany what some deem "Balkan standards". | Oct 18 19:52 |
r_schestowitz | 5 people in the EPO committed suicide in recent years. Given information that I have in my possession but have not published yet (it would cause chaos), I think the above abuse may have something to do with at least some of them. | Oct 18 19:52 |

r_schestowitz | Dear Mike, | Oct 18 19:56 |
r_schestowitz | I spoke to a fellow blogger who has been covering the EPO scandals for a couple of years and she says something similar -- that they don't have the power to bring legal action. Judging the letter itself, a professional said it's more like a "prank letter" (his words) written in an effort to intimidate (SLAPP), apparently not just me but other people too. | Oct 18 19:56 |
r_schestowitz | I believe that some time later this month this will go public; people who have receive such threats (not just myself) need help from legal professionals here, as the EPO is clearly misusing its legal immunity (they are exempted from European law) to bully dissent/critics, even outsiders. | Oct 18 19:56 |

They seem to have gotten a cheap and unprofessional 'lawyer' (grossly abusing the law, which he does not even understand) because a serious lawyer would laugh them out, fearing that the legal firm itself can be sued for SLAPP and bullying. | Oct 20 17:42 |

schestowitz | I have just reread my own post. Totally defensible, even by citing mainstream media interpretation of the leaks (original and authentic). Only if you think that it is worth taking down the post will I do so. | Oct 20 18:29 |
schestowitz | If the criteria for takedown (and apology!) is as terrible as in that last one (worse an example than the first), then they can just libel-troll a lot of other articles, as they probably already do against other people (the totally wrong surname in the first letter serves to confirm this). | Oct 20 18:29 |
schestowitz | This whole campaign of libel-trolling, which I presume is the frantic result of Grant and others potentially risking the sack (for their actions and the resultant public outcry from European lawyers, i.e. the clients of EPO), is ideologically indefensible. | Oct 20 18:30 |
schestowitz | I believe that IAM was somehow complicit in helping the EPO here because they're longtime foes of mine and they leaked TWO original documents that I gave them confidentially while TWICE telling them to absolutely NOT publish (they did anyway, compromising my sources). | Oct 20 18:30 |

schestowitz | [22:31] <marktaff> schestowitz: I had it lock up durin 15.10 do-release-upgrade as well. I rebooted, incanted 'dpgk configure -a' (someone verify that command pls) And it finished fine, excpet in my case I had major issues as I had to install the new nvidia 352 driver to get kde to work at all.

schestowitz | [22:31] <amichair> that's what I would do, but if you're in no hurry, perhaps you should wait for someone with a bit more experience to join here | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:32] <schestowitz> maybe I'll wait, I really appreciate your help, amichair, and I am happy to see I'm not alone with such an issue | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:32] <amichair> no problem. I haven't upgraded yet, but this sort of thing has happened to me in more upgrades in the past than I'd care to remember | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:32] <schestowitz> the upgrade resolved a HUGE issue I had in kubuntu 15.04 and suffered from for 6 months (performance issue with plasmashell and kwin | Oct 22 23:04 |

schestowitz | [22:34] <amichair> looking at the man page, it looks like dpkg configure -a only re-does the configuration part, not the unpacking | Oct 22 23:04 |

schestowitz | [22:38] <schestowitz> amichair: I killed it as root, now I use sudo dpkg --configure -a and it seemingly resumes where it left off, in the CLI. I hope the cleanup stage of "wily" (upgrader) isn't imperative to getting it to work, maybe also some configuration like grub and whatnot... | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:39] *** Vtec234 is now known as Vtec233355. | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:39] <amichair> schestowitz: I'm not sure if it does more than apt-get autoremove/clean or such | Oct 22 23:04 |
schestowitz | [22:39] <amichair> also try the apt-get thing afterwards just in case... it can't hurt | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:40] <amichair> (if there are no broken dependencies it won't do anything) | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:40] <marktaff> I followed the dpkg command with am apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. In my case, the command said nothing to be done, and the base system seemed fine via ssh, but kde was totally useless for me until I added in the nvidia ppa and installed the 352 driver. | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:41] <amichair> marktaff: sounds like you finished the unpacking stage at least... schestowitz crashed in the middle of that | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:42] <marktaff> amichair: it's been a long frustrating day, but I seem to recall it locking up about 80% of the way through unpacking. I could be wrong though. :-) | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:43] <schestowitz> that's what happened to me | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:43] <schestowitz> about 80% | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:43] <schestowitz> while going through the already-downloaded packages | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:44] <amichair> marktaff, schestowitz: please do report the bug with the stacktrace... so it will be fixed before I try to upgrade :-) | Oct 22 23:05 |
schestowitz | [22:44] <marktaff> yeah, the downloading only took me about 4 minutes (big pipe). | Oct 22 23:05 |

schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> Y or I : install the package maintainer's version | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> N or O : keep your currently-installed version | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> D : show the differences between the versions | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:50] <schestowitz> Z : start a shell to examine the situation | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:51] <schestowitz> So... a bit irregular, I guess | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:51] <amichair> yeah, that's actually standard I think | Oct 22 23:06 |
schestowitz | [22:51] <schestowitz> maybe the python front end thing couldn't render that as a window, at least that's my wild guess | Oct 22 23:06 |
