They might /already/ be, but it's hard to tell (practises of handling loans and
all). It's not just me who says it. Various sites have begun picking these
bits (even Linux Journal cited me recently) and other sites like Groklaw are
beginning to find what the trolls here are so scared about (which is why they
resort to vicious attacks).

Microsoft thrives in illusions, hypnosis.

Do they still augment employee's paycheck with mickysoft bucks (stock)? It
would interesting to see the paychecks start bouncing and be issued more
shares instead...

From what I'm told, they do a lot of temping, visa and offshoring to give an
illusion of growth (more employees, some cheaper).

From what you're told??? You're a pathetic spammer who lives in a college
dorm room. Do tell us exactly *who* is telling you the internal hiring
policies of Microsoft!

The only thing that you're hearing are the voices in your head. And all of
these voices are as crazy as you are!!!

"You heard" - yeah right. More delusions of grandeur from the dishonest
scumbag liar.

And yet the COLA sheep follow Roy Schestowitz around like some kind of a

I can't believe that they still don't get what Roy Schestowitz is all
about.

Can they, the COLA Linux 'advocates' really be that ignorant?

Neither sharp... not does he have a tool based on his reflective insults
directed at others. It's best to ignore the trolls. They use this as an excuse
for followups (slander feeding). As long as they just feed each other, they
remain invisible.

Thank you. I hope you'll also forgive me for suggesting
to Moshe that he sic the FBI on you; his complaints are
interesting but if he has no follow-through that's all
they are -- complaints.

And complaints, like computer code and virus-laden
malware, do nothing without something to execute them.
In the case of criminal complaints, that would be the
Federal authorities; in the case of the other two, the
microprocessor and/or the OS.

So far, he's not exactly chomping at the bit to send
certified letters to the appropriate individuals... ;-)

I would never do anything like that.
Not even to Schestowitz.
There is only one person in the group that I consider mentally unstable and
possibly a danger. I've mentioned the name before.

> certified letters to the appropriate individuals... ;-)

Mcirosoft, Novell, Xandros, Linspire, the RIAA, the BSA and every other
company that Roy libels on a daily basis know all about him already.

Roy can thank himself for that because his high profile operation has put
him right in their sights.
Whether they decide to do anything about Roy Schestowitz is another story.

And like I have said, I would defend Roy's right to free speech to the end
however I would not defend his right to spread false information about a
corporation. Information that might harm the reputation of their products
etc.
If he can back up his claims against the above, more power to him and I
will support him.

If not, which obviously is the case, he is on his own.

Roy Schestowitz likes to talk a big talk with his various hate sites and so
forth but when things start getting hot for him, let's see how well he
holds up.

Based up what I have seen here in COLA, he will quietly exit stage left..
Which is probably his only defense.

Why not? It is your sworn duty as a citizen to uphold the law.
You found it, you report it.

are few and far between. If you like, of course, establish
a contact with the legal departments of Microsoft, Novell,
Xandros, Linspire, the RIAA, and the BSA, and CC the
offending material, explaining the situation and including
Roy's website and/or posts for corroborating evidence.
Since this is a civil libel suit that's probably all that's
needed unless they call you as a character witness.

Libel is actionable, but they *do have to know*. Do they
know? Are you sure they know?

Find out if they do know, and if they don't know, let them know.
Someone may have to tell them.

The logical someone is of course you.

THIS IS NOT FREE SPEECH! Free speech does *not* include
libel or slander. Amendment I protections do *NOT* apply
towards libel or slander. (Unless someone can produce
a case that says different.)

Again, that's not free speech.

Fine, send him a request to do so and CC *us*.

But you need to ensure that the powers that are being libeled
know about this danger to their products/reputation.

Do the right thing; send them a certified letter with return receipt,
detailing the situation.

Even the biggest bomb needs a match (or in the case of
a certain truck, a blasting cap). You may need to spark
things along a bit.

Are you hot enough under the collar? Or just blowing smoke?

Are you *man* enough to follow through?

If you don't follow through I'll have to assume that
you're just YetAnotherChicken****Idiot(tm) who can't
figure out which bit is the mouse and which the monitor,
and is totally unwilling to do the right thing by
removing/reforming a lawbreaker from the community.

We get these here regularly.

*You* identified the problem; now you get to ensure it gets fixed.

That's what a real man does. (Me, I'm wishy-washy. I don't deny it.)

That'll be fine, after a fashion; the Winvocates can then defend
themselves ably by noting Linux's "problems".
