Slashdot Mirror

She starts off with this self-referential, circular narative about "blows != violence", but then brings up "sending Enderle over the top" and then she mentions guns and how she really wants to keep Enderle calm, and then she comes full circle and no that's not what she means and suddenly she's *really* talking about "blowhards" and "step-by-step".

Why bother with the entire prologue, except that it makes good "press" when written by someone who's now a "journalist".

And she ends up with a long monologue about how poor Groklaw (center of the known universe) is about to be astroturfed (the latest "attack!" "attack!") by that dreadful SCO.

All this angst really comes from the ongoing facts that:

1. Pamela remains *very* uncomfortable with her awkward relationship to OSRM, but doesn't want to talk about it (shall we deflect discussion *away* from OSRM and Pamela? There's an idea).
2. Pamela absolutely will not compromise on "it's my damn blog and I'll censor^W delete posts^W^W run it like I want" despite how it plays to any larger audience outside of Groklaw itself
3. there are still a whole bunch of people who are still worked up about these issues; see the Yahoo! Finance SCOX board, where the discussion about all of this continues unabated after a full week since the OSRM study popped up
4. fewer and fewer people are even bothering to try to discuss *any* of this at Groklaw itself, so Pamela's "Groklaw's being attacked" "Groklaw's being attacked" meme is succeeding

So, Pamela's got issues, and a lot of people have issues with Pamela, but to hear her tell it it's all Enderle's and McBride's and SCO's fault.

Pamela's backed herself into a corner. Period.

As for SCO itself, fuck 'em.

SCO clearly isn't going to get anything past anyone here, and anyone (Pamela included..) who thinks that /. is going to be fooled by any such BS from SCO is smoking something I don't want any part of...

Finally, no, I'm not an SCO astroturfer:

I've done my work in the trenches; have you?

You're full of shit.

And you don't even have the balls to post as anything but an AC

feh..

Thanks for all the sexxxy pictures of your daughter Rosalie: http://www.finchhaven.com/pages/bee/mykid.html. You know you shouldn't put this stuff on the internet unless you enjoy strangers masturbating to her photos..

Surf to his web site [bacarella.com], and it's just the same old self-absorbed bullshit that so many other people put up.

Perhaps you shouldn't be talking-- http://www.finchhaven.com/pages/computers/webmaste r.html!

I've been saying for years that the troll-as-news-story concept here at /. is simply a gimmick to keep the volume of posts up.

To quote me:

News from the server rooms! Posts are up another 15%! Raise the advertising rates!

As for the MSNBC article itself, who cares?

My research indicates that over 80% of the posts to any /. article are AC spam.

Most people very deliberately don't even come close to having something intelligent to say...

I think not; therefore I ain't®

"As a long-time Slashbot, you know perfectly well that AC posts start at 0, logged-in posts start at 1 and that the bitchslap causes you to post at a default of -1."

Quite right.

I stand corrected.

Although I more meant the interactive bitchslap, rather than the automagic...

Ya, I read a lot of the posts, which were all over the map, and I *still* think this is one hell of an idea!

Obfuscation, smoke screen, fog, civil disobedience, what the hell! Who could ask for anything more!

Those who are trying to find the *real* deCSS *will*, and the suits who are trying to find the sources will just have to dig a little deeper!

Fine, sez I.. slow 'em down!

Power to the people! Right on!

Not!

The ear-to-ear grins on the mothers and the kids says it all: "We know exactly what we're doing, and we're gonna make a bundle and get famous too!"

And of course you can always get some idiot attorney to buy in to this kinda deal...
