Loki Aftermath Looks Bad

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-slimey-going-on dept.

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.

    When a company switches to Linux (AOL, for example), the Linux bigots in the office broadcast the message to all in a loud voice.

    When a Linux company goes out of business (Loki, for example), the Linux bigots remain completely silent.

    I don't normally have any truck with trolls like your self, sir, but I'm a generous man, and I thought I'd give you a chance. You see, if you respond as you're wont to do, then you will actually be flaming a _real live homosexual_. Call me a fag, and you'll be right. I'm doing this because, as I said, I'm generous, and I like to give even a jackass like you the chance to be right once in his life.

    Cheerio!

    but remains one of the world's biggest philantropists (if not THE biggest philantropist)


    Jeez. Why do people always throw this up to defend Gates? It doesn't really matter that he gives some of his money away. It does nothing to excuse his company's actions. Hell, if he hadn't been ripping people off for so long, perhaps others would have had that money to donate. You may also want to take note that he started donating like this when his anti-trust problems really got going. He's also known for "donating" a lot to lobbyists and the 2 major political parties. Play both sides and you're guaranteed to win!
