schestowitz>>> Apologies for the delayed response. I have been engaged on urgent Tribunal matters.Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz>>>Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz>>> I am interested but I am away on annual leave after tomorrow until 4 September 2019. Therefore, if you would rather speak to a solicitor before then I can recommend Latitude Law in Manchester that specialise in immigration law only.Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz>>Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz>> Thanks.Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz>>Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz>> Can you facilitate encryption in communications? That too can be aSep 10 02:50
schestowitz>> consideration in our choice of representative/advisor.Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz>Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz> Will you be available to discuss next week?Sep 10 02:50
schestowitzYou said you were interested in our case, so we waited. It's now 5 days after the date you said you'd be back from holidays and I still have my messages ignored. As such, we cannot recommend or rely on such a service...Sep 10 02:50
schestowitzWe just lost a lot of time due to these false promises...Sep 10 02:50
schestowitz> With M$ spamming about "Linux" maybe there is a matter of trademarkSep 10 05:11
schestowitz> dilution or similar risks.  You've pointed out something similar forSep 10 05:11
schestowitz> Open Source, even though it is not a trademark.  IRRC Bruce Perens triedSep 10 05:11
schestowitz> but was denied, which can work to everyone's advantage when making bidsSep 10 05:11
schestowitz> for government contracts.  Back to Linux, could/would/should Linus dropSep 10 05:11
schestowitz> the LF and take his code and his trademarks elsewhere?  He wouldn't doSep 10 05:11
schestowitz> it himself, but if someone at the top did the leg work, I expect heSep 10 05:12
schestowitz> might consider it.  Don't quote ANY of that directly but feel free toSep 10 05:12
schestowitz> get ideas from it.Sep 10 05:12
schestowitzI decided it's OK to quote as a random person not associated with us or our position. I see no harm in doing so TBH. No harm at all.Sep 10 05:12
schestowitz>>>> I decided it's OK to quote as a random person not associated with us orSep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>>> our position. I see no harm in doing so TBH. No harm at all.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>> I'd rather not.  It's poorly formed thoughts.  TR gains from quality.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>> Also, I'd like to be able to bounce ideas around without having toSep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>> self-censor so much.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>> I think what you said in this case was perfectly reasonable. I don'tSep 10 06:05
schestowitz>> always quote, but this one is OK by most standards.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz> Yes, but remember Christian xxx and several others felt compelledSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> to stop corresponding because there was no control over what got quotedSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> and when.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitzI've edited that into a form I'm happy to go with, without naming anyone.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>> As for ideas, since Lundgren is getting readjusted has he dropped anySep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>> hints about continuing the series?  There are a lot of people pullingSep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>> for him and getting the full story out would probably increase the number.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>> His mates are always in our IRC channel. I'll ask.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz> Ok.  His case is important because publicity will help clear his name,Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz> bring business to his new activities, and show that the "new" M$ is theSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> same as the old M$.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitzI just got a reply on that...Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>> Also, any further luck on sanitizing the material about M$ productsSep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>> causing more hospital deaths?Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>> My source is afraid to go ahead with my draft (for now).Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>>Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz>> Same for one particular EPO story.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitz> Ok.  I hope they can be worked into a publishable form someday.  As forSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> the hospitals, like anywhere else, the microsofters are calling all theSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> shots.  The MDs are below the administrators which are below theSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> microsofters.  Ostensibly the vile administrators are on top and, whileSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> they may feel that way, all the actual important decisions about ICTSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> policy and strategy are determined by little M$ resellers in the basement.Sep 10 06:05
schestowitzKnown issue... widespreadSep 10 06:05
schestowitz> Stadiums are not big and yet they are nonetheless too much of an areaSep 10 06:59
schestowitz> for 5G mobile service to cover easily.  5G in practice will probablySep 10 06:59
schestowitz> mean a mast every few meters.  That's too much cost overhead to coverSep 10 06:59
schestowitz> with subscriptions, how will they get the money to recover their initialSep 10 06:59
schestowitz> and ongoing costs?Sep 10 06:59
schestowitzAnd there's the health factor.Sep 10 06:59
schestowitzApologist: but there are other sources of radiation!Sep 10 06:59
schestowitzMe: yeah, we'll all get nuked anyway soon... with Trump and Putin..Sep 10 06:59
