Slashdot Mirror

I thought Sys-CON Media was pulling MoG articles?

Tried http://www.linuxbusinessnews.com/info/search.htm?s earch=O'Gara&Search22=Search
and got, "Search has been disabled for the time being."

Google on 'Maureen O'Gara' and you see a link to:
http://linuxbusinessnews.sys-con.com/author/2390og aralinuxbusinessweek.htm

Which gives you several active links to MoG articles. Or was content just pulled from the LinuxWorld site?

--dungeness

Here's the list of Sys-Con's publications according to their web site:
- IT Solutions Guide
- Information Storage & Security Journal
- JDJ
- Web Services Journal (XML Journal)
- .NET Developer's Journal
- LinuxWorld Magazine
- MX Developer's Journal
- ColdFusion Developer's Journal
- XML-Journal
- Wireless Business & Technology
- WebSphere Journal
- PowerBuilder Developer's Journal
- Eclipse Developer's Journal

I'm assuming from the other posts that the unethical journalist you're referring to Maureen O'Gara. I'm still confused though- is this her or is this her? And don't say the ugly one, because that doesn't help.

I'm not sure where he stands in the pecking order, but Steve Suehring has also announced his resignation, for the same reason.

Dee-Ann Blanc has posted.

This letter has already been emailed to the people involved:

Dear Fuat and SYS-CON,

I am writing this letter to tender my resignation. I have worked hard on LinuxWorld Magazine since its inception, and really don't want to walk away from it as it continues to build up a good head of steam, but given recent events I just cannot continue to be associated with SYS-CON. The complete (and public) lack of understanding of why O'Gara's maelstrom article was wrong, among other things, suggests to me that my sense of ethics is simply too divergent from SYS-CONs and there will be further heated clashes in the future.

It goes on a bit, and of course the entry before it was interesting too. One thing - despite Turners announcement that the entire senior staff was going, it appears that he may have stepped out on a limb, as several of the other editors have not, at this time, announced their resignation. Just Turner and Blanc, so far. I'm hoping to see Walker, Winslow, and Taylor follow suit soon.

From TFA:

[I]f we thought there was anything wrong with this story factually, professionally, ethically, or legally speaking, we would not have run it in the first place. The reason why we decided to pull it was that when the content, style and the language of the story was perceived as offensive by a group of the readers, a denial-of-service attack was launched against our entire company, interfering with all of our publications and all of our readers. We don't want to be part of this debate, it can happen at websites that encourage it. But, I do apologize to people who were offended by it. I am not interested in offending our readers or in driving them away. I do wish that they had tried to work with me to find a solution before the fanatics out there launched DoS attacks for days even after we pulled the story. Our Web sites remained under constant attack from Monday through Wednesday, for three days. We lost thousands of dollars in revenues during the past three days. We are trying to recover from the biggest cyber attack in history any media company was ever subject to!

Slashdot needs to try harder!!

The "editorial board members" of LinuxWorld are appointed from among the leading professionals and participants of the Linux community at large.

Well, that's just sweet. But what does it have to do with anything?

LinuxWorld's independent advisory board and the core editorial team(s) have full editorial decision-making authority in everything that goes to print.

But MOG doesn't appear in print. Her articles are posted on your web site.

So what does anything about "print" have to do with this story?

They funnel that passion into the accurate and unbiased editorial content that you look for in the pages of our magazine(s) every month and in every new issue.

Still, not in print so why are you talking about this?

We believe that a magazine such as LinuxWorld, supported by hands-on participants and leading industry experts, offers real-life editorial content that you will not find elsewhere.

Hey! I can write this "note" and try to turn it into a free ad for my wonderful magazine.

Our compensation and deep satisfaction is in knowing that we are providing a valuable service that benefits Open Source, Linux, and everyone in the industry.

Yep. If I ever need to find PJ's mom, I'll know the site that provides that "valuable service".

This is how LinuxWorld differentiates itself from other venues.

Yep. Linux Journal certainly wouldn't publish that, even on its web site. Nor any other technical publication.

On the pages of LinuxWorld you read articles written by the most knowledgeable and experienced professionals in the world.

Did I mention the part about turning this into a free ad?

Last but not least, we are pleased to announce that with the launch of our new Web site, we now made all our archived content and past issues available online.

Thanks for having me on the show, did I mention my new web site? Can I do a quick plug for it?

Please be sure to take a look at the "LinuxWorld Topics" section of our new Web site to explore our archived content grouped under a rich number of categories.

I'm real sure I mentioned the free ad time. Right?

Before I end my note, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you our publishing guidelines.

End your note? You haven't even gotten to the subject.

We believe in the Golden Rule.

Give us the gold and you make the rules.

In all our dealings we strive to be friendly and courteous, as well as fair and compassionate.

This was not a single article. Read the past ones. You'll see an ongoing stream of hatred.

But those were okay to put on your sites.

We treat sources, subjects, and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect. We show compassion, show good taste, and avoid pandering to lurid curiosity.

Hmmmm..... You might need to check this page then - http://linuxbusinessnews.sys-con.com/read/49228.ht m?CFID=39636&CFTOKEN=75BBE516-14D5-139B-BC4011A448 3558B3

Yep, Linux Business News on the sys-con.com site. And if I may post some of the hate there:

Whatever you think of his politics, McBride may have a point or two. How come such an influence peddler is so mysterious?

So, PJ is "mysterious".

The name PJ is apparently a nom de plume or, in this case maybe it's a nom de guerre.

Maybe it stands for "Pam Jones".

Here's the Letter to Readers by LinuxWorld detailing the standards of journalism that O'Gara contravened.

Among them stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, or social status.

Look, this is a great article. But why is it ok to post personal details that have no bearing on the story? C'mon. The guys wife? Her maiden name? Her religion? All the various addresses?

How is this different than what Maureen O'Gara did?

PS: I thought LinuxBusinessWhatever said they removed all O'Garas stuff? I found them easily today on google: http://linuxbusinessnews.sys-con.com/read/49228.ht m

Still over at LBN

It is obviously not time to let this drop yet... it seems that there are a ton of MOG article still available on sys-con. A quick look at the ones from May 9 at 4pm, and a few relevant older ones, and it seems that the feedback for those is still active.


Not what I would call an adequate removal of that trash (amazing, if you haven't read the article in question, please do so now, I'm actually a bit shocked it got published anywhere !!!)

This one's scarier by far. My eyes cross every time I see that one.

Use 'www2' at the start of the URL. Eg. to send editorial comments use:

1-888-303-5282

as seen on http://www5.sys-con.com/general/contactus.htm

There is an editorial board contact number listed on the following website:
(http://www5.sys-con.com/general/contactus.htm)

It has a listing under "Departments" that looks like this:

Editorial
Phone: 201-802-3040
Fax: 201-782-9638
I am going to be calling this number and complaining about the lack of journalistic integrity by Maureen O'Gara.

I doubt it will accomplish anything.

You haven't seen Maureen O'Gara have you...

Oh I don't know... she's not all that bad.

http://linuxbusinessnews.sys-con.com/read/83267.ht m

I am amazed that Sys-Con would continue to allow Maureen O'Gara to write. They must be desperate for the controversy that her articles cause, because I really see no value in them after reading a couple of them this morning. The worst article , and the one in question, tries to paint quite the negative picture of Pamela Jones' sanity and lifestyle. Instead it leaves me questioning O'Gara's ethics and sanity. Quite the smear campaign on the part of O'Gara.

So, Pamela Jones could perhaps be a 61-year old Jehovah's Witness who lives in a not so nice apartment. What does that have to do with anything? O'Gara finishes the article hinting that perhaps it is all stolen identity, though she didn't present a news story that would lead you to that conclusion.

I spent the first 23 years of my life as a Jehovah's Witness. I do not believe I am scarred in anyway because of it. If anything, I think I have a lot more respect for my fellow human beings and in general have a deep desire to be a good person. Sure the methodology of learning about the religion is a bit like brainwashing, but they have their religious beliefs like most religions. They just are more strict about the belief and the punishment if one does constantly violates them. If you are going to have faith, I think most religious people would appreciate the JW's strictness.

Did the religion make me paranoid? No. Does it take a lot of your time? Yes, but if you are going to devote your life to being religious then it probably should take a lot of time. Personally I appreciated science too much to put so much faith in religion. I still believe that if any religion has it right though, it is probably the JW's. They read the bible and do what it says. They refuse to pick up arms against another human, they punish sinners through disfellowshipping (total cut off until they have repented of their sins), and they make worship the primary thing in their life not allowing anything else to come first. There are obviously more devoted JW's than others, but that is true of any religion.

So, after reading the crap that passes for journalism from O'Gara, I personally can't wait to see her unemployed. Perhaps she can go get a job at the National Inquirer.

http://linuxbusinessnews.sys-con.com/read/83267.ht m

I don't wish to publicise this to be honest, but people should read this and see just kind of trash is being referred to in the article.

I don't see how this could even be considered journalism to be quite honest - and i'm NOT just talking about Slashdot! ;)

Here's an article from linuxworld. Dated but shows that Veritest makes mistakes in setup.

Anyone catch the LinuxWorld Award Show advertisement on the side. I normally don't click on advertisements, but never turn down a shot to get a good laugh from these 'Software Award Shows'. Surely enough, they didn't disappoint offering a picture of what promises to be the keynote speakers performing the YMCA right on the front page.

He dropped out of GRADUATE school. There's a difference. Bill Gates never finished undergrad.

And on top of all that, it really isn't news anyway. He's been writing that SCO should win for a couple years now. See Why an SCO win is a slam dunk and why you need not care, published in May of 2003.

I'm sure IBM will either settle, enter into serious negotiations and thus get SCO to lift the deadline, ask a court for a temporary injunction, or come up with a better overall answer.

I'm not calling Mr. Graham a troll or shill. Just wrong. Consistently wrong on this issue.

See this article for some inside info on the naming.

Years before Java, James Gosling wrote a "combination macro-preprocessor and theorem prover" named Ace, which was used to compile the rasterop code in X11/NeWS.

NeWS supported all 2^4 rasterop codes, but some were MUCH more commonly used than others. So Craig Taylor and James Gosling came up with a way to write huge pyramids of parameterized CPP macros, that could generate small slow code for uncommon rasterops, and big unwrapped fast code for common rasterops and their permutations (like scrolling up and down).

Eventlly it got out of hand, so for X11/NeWS, Gosling wrote a new C parse tree based macro processor called "ACE", that was more of a "theorem prover" (isn't everything?) than just dumb string replacement like CPP. It could estimate the number of instructions and the speed of the code, and you could advise it how to make the trade-offs in deciding between "fast" and "small" branches of macro expansions. You could write a 2-d raster loop macro several different ways, with alternative ways to expand it, and ACE would decide based on how fast you wanted each raterop variation to run.

Unfortunately, Java never had a macro facility, let alone a "theorem prover" like ACE. Of couse Lisp macros are more powerful, general purpose, cleaner and better intergrated than ACE. Unfortunately, Java's C-like syntax makes it impossible to design a decent macro facility. So instead of having indecent CPP macros like C, Java has no macros at all.

The lack of a built-in macro processing facility is one of Java's major weaknesses, which is one reason that Java simply can't hold a candle to Lisp.

I find the 'printer friendly' version to be far more readable. :)

Try http://www.sys-con.com/story/print.cfm?storyid=477 40 as it might be easier to read for that one article.

Bedell was the "open source editor" for LinuxWorld Magazine until this month: article listing

One of his articles was called "Open Source and Open Standards" but it's password protected so I can't see the content.

Maybe he's talking about the successful business models of companies like Red Hat who sell a version of open source software that becomes a required standard? Businesses that use enterprise software packages like databases have to use and pay for "certified" distributions and kernel builds from certain distributors -- having "Linux" or "Unix" or "kernel 2.4.9" just isn't enough. This is how Red Hat can get away with charging more for yearly support than Microsoft or Sun and with forcing you to pay for support for every machine you have running their open software even if you only want support for fewer.

Torvalds worked for years at now-struggling chip designer Transmeta, but he now plans to stay with his current employer, Open Source Development Labs in Oregon, "for the foreseeable future."

Is it me or this is a bad intro for Linus? I find this a little septic or cinic. It could have made a reference to this story or something more worthy. But maybe that is too much for news.com.com.com.com. ;)
