Talk With Michael Robertson
Lindows CEO Michael Robertson is vilified by many Linux advocates. At the same time, he is probably drawing more attention to desktop Linux than anyone else in the world. Is he evil? Or is he just a typical American businessman trying to make it big (for the second time; before Lindows, he founded -- and later sold -- MP3.com)? One thing is for sure: Unlike many CEOs, he'll give a plain-talk answer to a straight question. We'll send 10 of the highest-moderated questions submitted here by Slashdot readers to Robertson tomorrow, and run his answers, unedited, as soon as he gets them back to us.

Michael.. Why do you suck?
Aren't you a little embarassed to be even remotely associated with a filthy stinky hippy peice of crap like Linux? It's the world's binary whore. It is as dirty as a public restroom and not as well docuemented. Thank you, and I eagerly await your reply.
- Have no knowledge of technology.
- Have no interest in knowing technology, no matter how much it rules their lives.
- Having no imagination, think that a computer is a box with a keyboard, mouse, monitor and speakers running some version of Microsoft Windows, and don't even imagine that computers serve other purposes in the world.
- Will let the government and the big greedy corporations take away one liberty after another, through the use of technology and unfair laws, because they are too worried about superficial things, like what kind of mountaineous SUV they drive, to worry about anything that actually makes sense.
Considering the above points, why don't you make a fortune by pushing the kind of superficial, stupid product that the idiot sheep support, by using the kind of mass marketing that considers its audience stupid, because they are, instead of putting so much effort into pushing Linux, which actually has merit and makes sense, though appears to have little potential for real return?Most Wal-Marts are pretty much set up the same. The trick is to never use the restroom in the front of the store, by the manager's desk. That one is always filthy. The one in the back, by the layaway desk, is usually bigger and cleaner and not used by as many people for some reason. I suspect it is the restroom used by the employees as well, so they probably do a better job cleaning it.
I think most rape victims tend to prefer "doggie style". I know I do since that is the way I had sex with my second girlfriend (who was arguably the hottest) back in the 80s. You raped the music industry with MP3.COM. I tend to see that as more of a "reverse cowgirl" though because as much as the RIAA protested, I think they just wished they'd thought of it themselves. I would say that right about now, you're forcing your snake down the linux hippies throats. Speaking of that, how big is your snake? Mine is 10", cut and about 16 inches around. (BTW, if there are any feminists on the board, preferably women, I'd like to hear your opinions of this post)
