Linux Today Founder Calls for Boycott of Linux Today
dave writes "I founded and managed Linux Today in 1998, bringing it up from nothing into the most powerful and large Linux news website in the world, in less than a year. I am now calling on the Linux community to boycott my creation until its current owners stop accepting money from Microsoft to publish blatantly anti-Linux/pro-Microsoft ads."
"SearchEnterpriseLinux: Windows, Linux to Win War Over Data Center"
Linux is UNIX. Shouldn't this read "Windows, UNIX, to Win War Over Data Center"? Oh, wait, who does that leave?
"CyberIndia Online: Linux Does Not Depend on Microsoft's Failure"
Well, sorta. It does depend on Microsoft failing to squash Linux like a bug.
Gasp! You're right! Now I'm MORALLY OBLIGATED to keep going to linuxtoday.com regularly or I'll be a Stalin-loving hypocritical Richard Stallman hippie zealot!!!
Go away, troll.
How can anybody in their right mind support MS when that company provides bad quality products, breaks laws world-wide, pays most of it's employees, less than industry standard wages, endlessly tries to crush open source software developemnt while simultaniously wanting to talk to open source developers, supports software patents as a method of controlling the world of software developemnt, Ms is evil and the big problem is a lot of other companies world-wide have noticed how successful they have been and are now copying this behaviour world-wide. No wonder the world is in such a mess.
Thakadu you make an interesting point. You see, I've long believed that stupidity (or in the context of this discussion, dishonesty) always trumps intelligence or honesty because someone who is intelligent and honest is always willing to listen to reason and different viewpoints. But someone stupid or dishonest will always win because their opinions are not based on truth or logic. A liberal will always say "that's a good point, and there's a grain of truth to what you say" but a conservative will say "goddam you queers and commies, you should all be locked up." Dishonesty/stupidity always trumps honesty/intelligence.
