Loki Aftermath Looks Bad

einer writes "Things look mighty bad for Loki employees. From this article it appears that some of them haven't seen a paycheck since late 2000. Perhaps the most telling part of the article is contained in a parenthetical near the bottom of the page: "A single employee is listed in creditor filings as being owed almost $350,000 in unpaid salary and in expenses the company incurred using the employee's credit card."" there's a lot of not-so-happy-stuff in this article.

Here's a bit of advice

If someone is planning on going into business, having a passion for Linux, wanting to make money on Linux software get some pros to deal with the money and marketing. Linux software is not an impossible market to conquer, but it's hard. It's like learning how to hack; don't jump right into the Linux kernel, leave that to Linus and Alan Cox the first few years. The ideal thing (for business ) would be to get Bill Gates - the evil of business himself - to run your company.

Balmer is the sort of man that you expect to spontanously touch you and maybe give people backrubs when he walks by. Balmer should by all means be confined to a hippy programer commune for the duration of his methaphetimine days.

YES, even more so than dot-coms.
