|---|
| neighborlee | :) | Dec 11 01:34 |

|---|
| PetoKraus | yeah | Dec 11 01:35 |
|---|

| Omar871 | So, after reading your latest post about Microsoft. is sounds as if my cousin's point of view isn't one of a kind, it seems as though all the companies who work with, or use MS products ad services share the same.. lets say ideology, or.. belief.. | Dec 11 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Which post? | Dec 11 09:09 |
|---|
| Omar871 | The one about Microsoft embracing Open Source. | Dec 11 09:11 |
|---|
| Omar871 | It seems like the vast majority of proprietary companies are against the idea of sharing, in general. | Dec 11 09:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They are brought up this way | Dec 11 09:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's a mode of education. Be selfish, make money by withholding information. It keeps people "helpless and divided," to quote RMS. | Dec 11 09:20 |

| seller_liar | M$ can support all Linux apps and in a better way! | Dec 11 16:33 |

| schestowitz | To topples the cycle of stupidity you need to inform and to expose. That's why I love what I do in BN, enough to do it voluntarily so much of the time. | Dec 11 17:22 |

| seller_liar | Yes, and in human history , ethics and freedom was not the priority | Dec 11 17:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So one route is to advocate, as I so often do (and have done for years) and the other is to expose the corruption and manipulation. People need to be told about technically superior solutions but also to be given compelling reasons to switch. Lots of people treat Linux as "cheap Windows" | Dec 11 17:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They are also taught that cheap means bad | Dec 11 17:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Microsoft reinforces such logic ("free puppy" analogies and such) | Dec 11 17:27 |

| seller_liar | Yes ,I remember when I see revolution OS | Dec 11 17:27 |
|---|
| seller_liar | Eric Says : "Free software?! , cheap,worthless " | Dec 11 17:28 |

| schestowitz | seller_liar: these are priorities to the vast majority of the people (ethics and freedom) but they are taught (trained) not to understand that. It's brainwash | Dec 11 17:28 |

| schestowitz | The GPL was upheld (won) in Germany and no-one was brave enough to challenge it in the US, just settlements. | Dec 11 21:10 |

| Tallken | schestowitz: cool pic ^^ | Dec 11 22:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I don't think I wrote this here (you can readt the post if you're a member) | Dec 11 22:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I think I said this in BN comments, but it 's the hecklers which she said tried to ruin Groklaw who led to some frustration | Dec 11 22:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | In GL nobody feeds them | Dec 11 22:33 |

| Tallken | i honestly believe someone should buy NYTIMES front cover, quote that guy, and tell MS that monopoly resembles more like totalitarian regime than capitalist competition for cheaper and better things | Dec 11 22:33 |

| twitter | It takes almost as much time to boot the trolls as it does to feed them, they cause stress no matter what you do about them. | Dec 11 22:35 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'm not sure what to do with it | Dec 11 22:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | We never censored before, so I don't want to ever start. it's better to ignore. The label thing was a suggestion from a regular reader. | Dec 11 22:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I've been in daily touch with Groklaw for almost 3 years and I know how much of a PITA anti-Groklaw protesters could be. They try to get her emotional/distracted, IMHO. That worked on me at the time (I got used to this, so it makes almost no impact). | Dec 11 22:38 |
|---|
| twitter | There is always an impact. Ever talked to an abused woman about the day she "snapped"? | Dec 11 22:40 |

| NZheretic | schestowitz : Any questions before you reply? | Dec 11 23:40 |

| schestowitz | I've just posted a reply. | Dec 11 23:44 |

| NZheretic | schestowitz : Gaining ( or just restoring ) Civil rights has always been a step by step process. | Dec 11 23:44 |

| schestowitz | She barely posts anymore... no more than a post a day. Very dormant in general. It's garbage-collection time. | Dec 11 23:44 |

| NZheretic | schestowitz : Pj really need a break for at least a couple of months. | Dec 11 23:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | NZheretic: the issue is differnet | Dec 11 23:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | i didn't say this in my quick comments (got distracted by another chain of 100 comments < http://boycottnovell.com/2008/12/1... >), but the issue is trolls. | Dec 11 23:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | OIN admits it can't cope with trolls. | Dec 11 23:46 |

| schestowitz | Jerry Rosenthal said so and Keith's reply I'll post shortly. | Dec 11 23:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They fight ghosts | Dec 11 23:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | NZheretic: a couple of months? | Dec 11 23:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Figure of speech or do you know something I missed (didn't read the whole post)? | Dec 11 23:47 |
|---|
| NZheretic | schestowitz: The thing about ghosts is that they don't work well in the light. It's time to start putting faces to the names behind the trolls. | Dec 11 23:47 |

| schestowitz | US teacher detains student for using Linux < http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/223... >. *LOL* Kens's a superstar! Power to him | Dec 11 23:48 |

| schestowitz | NZheretic: Rick Frenckel tried. | Dec 11 23:48 |

| schestowitz | He was unmasked and sued, along with his employer at the time | Dec 11 23:48 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They put a bounty on his head. | Dec 11 23:48 |

| schestowitz | Actually... wait. | Dec 11 23:49 |

| schestowitz | Can we pull the content of his now-dead blog? | Dec 11 23:49 |

| schestowitz | Damn. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://... | Dec 11 23:50 |

| NZheretic | schestowitz: Playing the expose game is not something you can do anonymously. Even PJ herself is limited by her own choice of anonymity. | Dec 11 23:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | A goldmine of information (trolls catalogue) down through litigation. Now I understand why people download entire controversial sites | Dec 11 23:51 |

| schestowitz | Maybe I'll mail him | Dec 11 23:51 |

| schestowitz | I'll ping trolltracker@gmail.com | Dec 11 23:51 |

| NZheretic | Maybe the community ( for want of a better word ) need to create a new online investigative news/journal organization, with part time full time paid staff. That way ( at least in the US ) it will have full first amendment. | Dec 11 23:55 |
|---|
| NZheretic | ... protection. | Dec 11 23:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I think it works differently. | Dec 11 23:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | PJ said, based on something I mailed her, that putting adsense in GL would give her that protection. | Dec 11 23:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Shane is the one receiving about $50/month from the ads, which is more than hosting costs him. I don't know if that counts as anything. Neither me nor him write anonymously and we have no disclosures to make other than sentimental attacments... to freedom. | Dec 11 23:57 |
|---|
| NZheretic | The payment ( if large enough to be a living wage ) may eliminate the need for anonymity. | Dec 11 23:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | She's hardly anonymous ahyway | Dec 11 23:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Those who want to find her will. | Dec 11 23:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | She's routing her mail via Peter now. | Dec 11 23:58 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Blogging anonymously is not the greatest thing anyway. | Dec 11 23:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Writing with a clear conscience does give one a certain higher ground. Anonymity means disclosure is a mystery. | Dec 11 23:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | BTW, paid journalists too are sensitive to lawsuits. | Dec 11 23:59 |
