LindowsOS.com Email Lists Collected For MS Suit
Over at the LindowsOS website is a message from company chief Michael Robertson, who advises readers that, in the course of discovery for the ongoing lawsuit instigated by Microsoft against Lindows.com, the company was "compelled to disclose your email address to Microsoft." The email addresses aren't just those who have submitted product names with a connection to "Windows", but rather "everyone who had
submitted their address asking to be signed up for the Lindows.com mailing
list since we turned on the website," according to email from Robertson. He adds: "The information which Microsoft
received in the list was name, email address and physical address. It was
not just people that posted to our forum, but basically every address for
every person that we had collected." (Note: If you'd like to contribute to the list of "Windows" products, it would be helpful to include more than just a product name photocopy -- e.g. a company name, URL, or photocopied manual.).Update by HeUnique: And here is Michael Robertson comment.
Yeah, but how do you plan to penetrate their borg-ish forcefields?
You will be assimilated.
Thats easy you broadcast on uPNP a device that circumvents the windows xp activation.

I for one don't play 99.9% of the new games coming out because they are shit; I stopped playing games a few years earlier then I switched to Linux - can I then keep using it?

Sorry, paranoid.

What a blatant display of Karma-whoring!

That's not redundant, that's funny! And almost astute.
There should be a moratorium on the use of the apostrophe.

As opposed to the Constitution-subverting criminal scumbag we had before that, or the Constitution-subverting mental incompetent we had before that, or the Constitution-shredding idiotic criminal currently pretending to the office and trying to turn the US into a rogue state? It's been a parade of villians and/or incompetents for decades now. Just proves Douglas Adams' point: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

It'll be two decades before we fully recover from the harm Clinton did to this country and to the world.
Yeah, I mean the DJIA was 3000 when Clinton took office, ~10500 when he left. It'll take a whole bunch of Enrons to undo that damage. And our military? So crippled we've actually lost a couple of soldiers in our recent conflicts, one or two even to enemy fire!
I didn't vote for Clinton either time, but this "damage he's done" crap is just...
Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a real useful invention.
