Court Case To Test GNU GPL
ciaran_o_riordan writes "Tomorrow, a German court will hear the case of AVM, a distributor of Linux-based routers, which seeks to block Cybits from distributing software that modifies the routers' software to add content-filtering functionality. Free Software Foundation Europe explains: 'AVM justified its position using three arguments. First, they stated that their whole product software must be regarded as an entity under AVM copyright, and that this entity must not be modified. The position Mr. Welte [founder of gpl-violations.org and copyright holder of several parts of the Linux kernel] took was that the whole product software would in that case be a derivative work according to the GPL, and thus the whole product software should be licensed under the GNU GPL. AVM then switched to a second argument: that the software embedded on its DSL terminals consisted of several parts. According to Mr. Welte, AVM could then not prohibit anyone from modifying or distributing the GPL licensed software parts. The final argument by AVM was that the software on their DSL terminals is a composition of several different programs, which, due to the creative process, would be a protected compilation and thus under the copyright of AVM and not affected by the copyleft of the GPL.'"
I've been making my software GPLd since 1991. If someone uses it, for free, and makes a derived work, and then tries to stop others from sharing that work, they are ethically and intellectually challenged.
This is not a test case for the GPL, it's a straight-forward copyright violation case, where AVM is taking the work of tens of thousands of people, using it under a license that permits remixing, and then attempting to ignore those license conditions.
Take them to the cleaners, Harald!
My blog
ya everytime you tell me the way it is , ill just change my argument until i find a loophole um er ya um ah ya thats it.
----------
nice try dummies and the judge will and most do look at origian remarks and as they topple down the tree to find loopholes judges look at that spirit of the law and don't think its gonna go good, i just about fell off my chair at the stealing others work and claiming copyright on it part and doing so as a commercial end....in canada that gets you a 20000$ fine per sale they did.
I think he's half right. Either the company is intelligent yet ethically challenged, in that they know that they are violating the GPL yet do not care, or they are ethically sound but intellectually challenged, in that they don't know they're controverting the license. I believe one of these scenarios is the case.
I'm sure either one of lulzsec or Anonymous would be happy to destroy AVM should the judge be clueless.
1. This violates the GPL over the GPL-licensed parts of the whole, and therefore the GPL-licensed parts have to be excluded when the whole is distributed. The same reasoning applies if the restriction is due to a compilation copyright over the whole or a license regarding use that prohibits modification.
2. Irrelevant: the GPL parts continue to be licensed under the GPL or they can not be redistributed. The GPL permission for compilations does not weaken the GPL license for GPL components so compiled.
3. All a compilation copyright means is that no one else can redistribute the compilation. However, it can not restrict redistribution of the GPL licensed parts.
About the only case that can be made is that modified routers can't be sold, but routers could be sold along with the means to modify them. Or a router could be sold, and someone hired to modify it.
Of course, I am not a lawyer, and would welcome one correcting any error I made above.
In Liberty, Rene
Why? There's one on the side of the bad guys, and there's on on the side being bullied, and there's one more on the side protecting our rights.
Seems like 2 out of 3 of the lawyers (or teams of them) are fighting for the cause of the good guys, or fighting against the bad guys at least.
*ANY* copyrighted work derivative must comply with the expectations and terms of the original copyright holder. How, exactly, is using the GPL any different from this?
File under 'M' for 'Manic ranting'
"Ironically, by preventing others from enacting the rights granted by the GNU GPL, AVM itself is in violation of the license terms. Therefore they have no right to distribute the software" says Till Jaeger.
It looks like Cybits wants to add some additional functionality to the router, which makes it a win-win situation for both the companies. Set aside the pro-GPL arguments, why does AVM have a problem with another company adding features?
Adult Video Magazine?
I think I'm going to side with them.
In addition, a compilation is a derived work and the author needs to secure the copyrights to the parts. Of course, often a compilation is made from parts that have lost their copyright status, or are to small to be considered a work, but that does not mean that creating a compilation magically waives the rights of the creators of the parts.
IANAL, and also not yours.
Hey don't blame me, IANAB
Since when has anyone on Slashdot wanted to enforce artificial restrictions on information, which, by definition, should be "free"?
The cognitive dissonance between this story and the countless (pro-)piracy stories is astounding.
Why does AVM want to prevent this behaviour? It seems, if anything, Cybits is simply adding value to the router. AVM presumably makes money selling the routers. If people want to modify them or use them as door stops for that matter, what difference does it make to the company?
All very odd.
This doesn't even make sense without the GPL. Even if AVM owned the copyright to all code, it doesn't by itself prevent users from adding new code in place. It's as if the author of a book sued to prevent purchasers from the writing in the margins of their own copy.
Unless German copyright law is very different from US law, there must be a clause in the license that TFA fails to mention. This clause presumably disallows consumers from making modifications to the software. Since the GPL is involved, this license could only apply to the code owned entirely by AVM that is not part of a larger GPL unit.
It amazes me that companies feel justified in not paying for their software. The GPL's payment is in openness and code changes. So many companies try this (and get away with it). It would be similar to companies using cracked warze and then trying to justify it in court as their own works.
Of all these, I think the compilation argument is an interesting one and merits watching. It could have interesting results on other things based on open licenses such as Linux distributions and other devices based on Linux.
I don't think I will roll out a complete comment on this just now. I will instead ponder the notion of thinking of all these computer programs as components and calling this a compilation which is "protected."
There are many things that cause this to fall apart such as the individual licenses of the components themselves and the distribution rights associated with them. But, it's the end of my day and I want to go home...
I think the case hinges on the right to sue of the parties.
A contributor to the GPL'ed software would have the right to sue.
The defendant, Mr. Welte, might not have the right to sue AVM to put their code under the GPL, but luckily he is the defendant.
AVM is the plaintiff. They have admitted that their released work is a mix of their original work and GPL'ed work. In my opinion they still may assert their copyright for their contributions, but do not actually have the right to distribute their work.
That is why I think the defendants primary cause, although I'm sympathetic to the defendant, is lost.
However as a countermove, (I'm assuming the defendant owns an AVM router), I suggest he countersues AVM for damages, since they set him up with a router that cannot be operated legally since they don't own the rights to the software, and for wasting his time he spent coding in good faith that AVM actually intends to secure the rights to the software, which is hard to do without GPL'ing the software.
IANAL, and not yours.
Hey don't blame me, IANAB
Wow, you're still stalking people, Alexander Peter Kowalski? You make /. celebrities like twitter look mentally stable, go get help.
And delete that 200MB hosts file.
Could we stop saying "test the GPL"? If the GPL does not hold, then copyrights and contracts don't hold. You can't kill the GPL without killing more onerous EULAs, and as we all know, that will never happen.
This is not a test of the GPL! It's simply a test of copyright law, and, in particular, the boundaries of the definition of "derivative work".
If I were an author, and gave a publisher permission to publish a story I wrote, unmodified, they would be free to publish it in a collection with other stories by other authors, but not free to modify huge chunks of it. But, what if they got another author to write stuff that was inserted between key paragraphs of my story? My story is unmodified, in the sense that every word appears unchanged and in the correct order, but the result is still clearly not my story. So, the issue is: where is the boundary between compilation and derivative? The question here is not "are they violating the GPL?", but "are they violating copyright law?"
They're on the side of whoever has the money to pay them (most of the time), and I'm willing to bet those are not the good guys.
A more clear summary than the long-winded summary up top is this:
Company A makes a widget based on GPL code.
Company B makes code that you can buy and run on the widget, changing it's function
Company A is suing company B to stop them claiming copyright violation
There are multiple weird things about this case that I am very unclear on.
- Does company B's distributed code even contain any code from Company A? If it doesn't, and it is literally just code that gets injected into the router, then it is not a copyright violation in the first place. Not a GPL issue *at all*.
- If it *does* contain code from company A, based on their GPL code, then it's a GPL issue. However, none of Company A's arguments make any sense in that case.
- Finally, why does company A care about this in the least?
The FSF refused to review my code and issue me a "certificate of no GPL code." If you are throwing-out FUD, you have an obligation to issue certificates on request.
Microsoft should issue certificates of no viruses.
This would mean the contents of my mp3 player are a compilation, and not subject to copyright, right? ...Right?
If it ever seems like the entire world is against you, take that for truth, and realize that you engender ill will in others. There is no collusion, you're obviously deranged, and everyone will continue to reject you. Every man is the hero of his own story, ay, but you make yourself a villain by attacking others, even as you claim to be attacked.
You're sick, man. These are not the actions of a sane adult. You need serious mental help. I can't imagine you'll listen to this -- none so deaf as he who will not hear.
Yes, they have copyrights on the compilation. But they have to respect the rights of the Linux copyright holders, and those rights say "you can only distribute the software under these conditions".
So, if they want to distribute, they have to allow modification. If they don't allow modification, they can enjoy their own copyright in the privacy of their own home, but they can't distribute the compilation without violating someone else's copyright.
The final argument by AVM was that the software on their DSL terminals is a composition of several different programs, which, due to the creative process, would be a protected compilation and thus under the copyright of AVM and not affected by the copyleft of the GPL.
Which means they're back to a derivative work ;-)
They seem to be confusing the GPL with the BSD license or the public domain. If they ignore the GPL, nothing else lets them use the GPL-licensed code, so they have to take it out. Schnell!
Most of the ones on the good side would be equally happy being paid to work for the other side.
Not exactly immoral, but more often than not amoral.
(which is generally their job: to ensure that things are legally correct by some technical definition of legal irrespective of wishy-washy complications like morality)
The saddest part is, I knew it was APK as soon as I saw the formatting. No need to actually read the post.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, sue.
Yeah, same with those dentists. I just hate them! Always on the side of people with bad teeth ... and money ...
This. Next thing you know, people are going to say there's nothing wrong with contract killers. "After all, you can hire them to take out crooks." ...

Thanks, I didn't know that.
Hey don't blame me, IANAB
Thanks, I didn't figure that out from the summary.
I still think he cannot force them to release their code under the GPL. They can just say "no", and then he has the right to sue them and will win, making them pay damages and making them stop distributing their product.
Of course, the threat of this might convince them, as it usually does in GPL cases.
IANAL, and not yours.
Hey don't blame me, IANAB
... if you want the damn code proprietary, then write the damn thing yourself. Why is this so hard to understand? People that whine about "Well, I wrote part X as a modification of GPL project Y, so why am I forced to use GPL on X!" The answer is simple, because you based your work on GPL! If you don't want to use GPL, then avoid GPL!
Yes, the issue can be made much more complex. But at the end of the day, this "problem" hasn't changed, and it's not that complicated. Microsoft figured it out and they also release some GPL code, yet nobody is going after the Windows codebase, now are they? NOT... THAT... HARD...
I8-D
With open source code as pervasive as it is it's all to easy for a coder at a company to cheat and plagiarize. Maybe even sabotage his own company. Courts would need to look at the amount of code involved and determine if the company in question had reasonable knowledge of infringement. Damage? The answer is we need a clear decision as far as disclosure from companies when something like this happens. More or less depending upon the amount of code in question they must be forced for reply to a cease and desist letter and as quickly as possible and stop using infringing code as reasonably as possible. Failure to comply resulting in liability for actual damages to the tune of an estimate determined by the court for what it would cost to redevelop the code plus punitive damages..
As far as the GPL itself we have the static vs dynamic vs bundling issues. It's all just philosophical when we talk about software. To over-simply, linking is all just a concept controlled by compiler flags. At the end of the day we are only talking about how the bits are ordered on media. And for files on the internet you don't even have media. I think it would be all too easy for the courts to decide it's not clear and in effect rule the GPL to effectively become LGPL. I'm not even positive one could even write a legal definition of static vs dynamic linking except by abandoning the concepts for more concrete ones. I actually really want to see it go before SCOTUS and have lawyers try to explain pointers and addresses when they don't even understand it themselves. Then define execution. You will literally need to give them honorary degrees in "Computer Science" after the case.
I still think he cannot force them to release their code under the GPL. They can just say "no", and then he has the right to sue them and will win, making them pay damages and making them stop distributing their product.
I think the logic is thusly:
The gadget is either using GPLed code under a valid license (which means they can't prevent others from modifying it, thus they lose), or they are not using it under a valid license (which means that they're vulnerable to infringement claims themselves, and depending on exactly which bits were being modified, they might not have standing to protest in the first place).
I still think he cannot force them to release their code under the GPL. They can just say "no", and then he has the right to sue them and will win, making them pay damages and making them stop distributing their product.
It is an interesting situation. Mr. Welte cannot force AVM to do something, but he can quite clearly tell them "if you do what you intend to do then you are committing copyright infringement" with the consequence that AVM might be in for some serious consequences.
Actually, I think at this point AVM has already been distributing the software in violation of the GPL terms. So the GPL license doesn't apply here anymore. So the fact is: AVM took some copyrighted code that they have no right to distribute, modified and hopefully improved it, distributed it, and claim to have rights in the resulting code. So what legal rights, if any, do they have in the code? How would the situation be different if the copyrighted code was some code stolen from Microsoft, or some code they could legally distribute after paying a million dollars which they didn't?
It would be reasonable to say in my opinion that the third party, Cybits here, should have the same rights as if AVM had acted in a way that didn't involve copyright infringement. So in the case of GPL'd software, Cybits should stand as if AVM hadn't breached the GPL license. If AVM had stolen Microsoft code, then Cybits should stand as if AVM hadn't stolen the code, so there would be no router software that Cybits could modify.
According to the article, the defendent is not distributing code containing GPL code. Rather, they are distributing a program that reads from a DSL router and modifies the (perfectly legal) GPL code on the router, reinstalling the modified code. The defendent doesn't think this is a violation, since he does not distribute any GPL code to users, only the binary "diffs". The modified code is never "distributed", only installed on the individuals own router. Since the GPL limits distribution, but doesn't affect "internal" use, there is an argument that the GPL is not violated. However, there is a further section in the GPL that takes up just this point, which is quite orthogonal to any of the arguments posted here. Even if this section of the GPL was not enforced in Germany, it wouldn't be the end of the GPL, as this is an extremely inconvinient way to distribute software, and the liklihood that the "diffs" didn't include GPL code is very small.
They're fighting tooth and nail PROBABLY because their code is statically bind to some pieces of GPL code somewhere, and they can't extricate their code without POSSIBLY requiring a full rewrite, an expense they're unwilling to endure. That and it's always bad for business to admit having willfully violated licensing terms.
ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI!?
Someone mod this AC up please. I accidentally modded it down.
"Why? There's one on the side of the bad guys, and there's on on the side being bullied, and there's one more on the side protecting our rights."
Which means we end up paying for them three.
"Seems like 2 out of 3 of the lawyers (or teams of them) are fighting for the cause of the good guys, or fighting against the bad guys at least."
Or maybe fight for themselves and after the trial they three have an opulent dinner with what we paid them all.
Shut the fuck up and leave tomhudson alone APK, while you're at it why don't you use an account like any respectable troll? If you used the one brain cell you likely might have during your stalking you would know that tomhudson is a woman, she even says so in her profile page!

The summary is unclear about a number of things, and the article is not so clear either.
Say one company takes a stock linux distribution (or makes a tiny distro of GPL/Linux parts) and then adds a special binary that does things like phone-home calculate a IPSec key, and then wake up a VPN using that key. This company is on the hook to distribute all the GPL/Linux bits as source but _not_ the key generating program that is "merely" on the same media. The program could also be, perhaps, a web interface for the device running as scripts or binaries or whatever. As long as the program's in question do no link with (in the software linking loader sense) the GPL bits there is no "taint of GPL" to the added code. (This was the old "the GPL is infectious like a virus argument, which people finally understood as "no its not" 8-).
Lets say some other company then makes a mod-kit for the device above and either (a) distributes the kit and/or (b) buys up the devices, applies the kit, and re-sells it.
The second company has no rights to the binary of the first company, but since the first company sold the device in question to either an end user (in case a) or to the second company (in case b), the second company is clear of copyright issues. e.g. they are not making copies of the binary. The first company is not, however, in a position to dispute the second company's action since it isn't making copies of their software, so the second company has no basis to block the second companies actions.
If the first company's software is linked with the GPL bits (e.g. actually in the kernel, or a modification of the IPSec programs in our example) (and not LGPL bits, but full GPL bits) then the first company has three choices: (1) distribute the source with the binary in a common and accessible format (e.g. CDROM, thumb drive, etc) of (2) agree to make the code available to the recipients of the binary for a minimum period of time, put that in writing, and maybe charge a copying fee or not. If they don't do one of those two things then they are NOT ALLOWED to distribute the resulting program. In both cases the recipient of the source is not under any obligation _NOT_ _TO_ just give the source to everybody at _their_ discretion and expense. That is, company one can safely limit its exposure to follow-on distribution costs by only having to distribute the code to the people who got the binary from them, but they can NOT require that the code they give out is not to be copied on by the recipient.
In the case above the first company is trying to stop the second company from doing things. First they said "that is one whole system and it's our 'property' so you cannot mess with it." and the second company said "if its all one system then that system is GPLd and we can quite explicitly do any thing we like with it _OR_ you had no right to sell or even give it away in the first place and you are in deep trouble."
So then the first company said "wait a sec, we mis-spoke. There is all the GPL bits and then there is our program. Our program is ours so you cannot mess with the device." and the second company went on to say "We can mess with the device and all the GPL bits all we want because you sold the device and the GPL bits are GPL. You bits are irrelevant to what we are doing so leave us alone."
So _now_ the company is trying the "well yea, we did sell the device, and you can mess with GPL bits all you like, but when we put our bits in with the GPL bits we were making an artistic statement a whole and when you mess with the GPL bits you are wrecking our artistic vision."
The third argument is tricky in that its as if the first company went out and got three peices of music under the GPL and added a fourth that they want to license under different terms. A guy comes in and messes with one or more of the first three, by perhaps substituting in a "dance re-mix" of the the third song. Now the first company says "the second company is messing up our presentation of these for songs as a whole by tweaking

Easy now - remember, it is just 95% of Lawyers, that gives the rest of them a bad reputation.
"However, there is a further section in the GPL that takes up just this point, which is quite orthogonal to any..."
Right that's it. Shut your mouth. If you use that word one more time I swear I'll... Orthogonal!? You pretentious wally.
How about "It challenges..." or "It answers this point..." or "It undermines this point..." or some other use of English which is not daft as a brush.
If I read just one more article or comment where some fool feels that they can appear smarter than they are by using the word "orthogonal" I will head butt the monitor.
I don't know what your issue is with Tom Hudson, and I don't want to know, but you're insane, man. Get some help.
If you can't work this out in a private manner, just drop it. There's no need to behave like an ass in public.
Why would anyone mod this up? It's completely off-topic, with no redeeming value that I can tell.
You make a good point, though. Instead of posting, I should have modded all of this down.Too late now, I'm afraid.
And the GPL was already tested in Germany and passed.
Then the BSD trolls whined that that wasn't the USA and therefore the GPL still wasn't shown legally applicable.
We all seem to have problems with this guy. The very moment you see his posts, I suggest we not respond to his commentary but simply answer something along the lines of "APK detected -- emotionally and/or mentally unstable -- hostile" and say no more. I foolishly had interaction twice.
But the form of payment is openness. And given that the GPL want anyone to profit from it, there is no single entity that has suffered monetary damages. So payment can only be openness.
Nae king! Nae laird! Nae yurrupiean pressedent! We willna be fooled again!
Actually she's a trans-woman, i.e. a dickless man.
Wow... just... wow. Google that name and you will see a lengthy history of this guys interactions with others. In all those years, you would think that he would have learned from his mistakes along the way as his internet trail indicates that he makes the same mistakes over and over and over again. Anger, impatience, unreasonable demands and, of course, takes "simple business interactions" far too personally.
"I have been published" is his least relevant claim and yet he seems to claim it at every available opportunity. The subject is demonstrably obsessive, aggressive but I have yet to see or hear of the subject actually following through on veiled threats of legal action.
Interestingly, there was certain other discussion on slashdot which put forward the idea that "reason is a weapon" where winning is more important than being right. This characteristic is clearly displayed by the subject. The sooner all of slashdot recognizes the subject for what he is, we can begin to file him away with the "goatse.cx" and "rick rolling" we frequently see here.
Come on - after all, I am not the one who's been stalking & trolling others for a year with an entire gang of people who are admitted trolls! I only "kick it in" again when you guys startup, because apparently, it's all you understand (so trying to speak in terms you understand/reverse psychology)... that doesn't work. You also "get off on trolling" and admit it... come on!
Besides: The world's got bigger problems than this b.s., and I do believe this can be worked out by an "honorable compromise" to just leave one another be. Can't you all do the same??
Listen: I know enough about violence & war first hand, it brings nothing but ruin for everyone - nobody wins, ever, not really.
(Apparently, you guys don't & have never had yourselves shot at or in a streetfight where some stupid sense of pride caused a load of misery... it's not fun, I promise you that!)
This is no different in a way (not near as bad though), but I do believe it can be stopped. Just by ceasing fire. It's that simple.
Plus - I have tried this before to no avail with you people... I could keep this up forever you know, messing with you guys too throwing how you operate right back into your faces and embarassing you!
Easily (and I am much more difficult to track, remember that, AND I can outpost you all easily, damn_registrars found that out too in the link I am about to post as well, thus, I am "at the advantage"...)!

Still, here is what I got in another thread where I have:

Come on...
Anyhow/Anyways:
So, what do you say? Cease all hostilities or what?? Yes or No.
I say yes, but I want your reply too.
I know that tomhudson, gmhowell, jeremiah cornelius, and webmistressrachel (the only one who IS reasonable in fact of you all) & possibly damn_registrars (not sure about he though) meet @ "trolltalk.com" on Tuesdays, so run it by all of your people and let's call an end to the madness...
I am trying to get a "truce" going here w/ them: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36512182
Why?
Well - Even though these guys troll & harass others repeatedly & are quoted doing so, for more than a year now, I know 1st hand what war & fights are about - nobody ever wins.
Plus - There's bigger problems in the world, and in everyone's personal lives too... & this squabble?
This can be solved, through reason, I am sure of it from my end: Are they though? See that link above, & thanks for your time.
I've seen guys get caught before posting as women online, yes, it happens. I could care less though about that.
I do know that I am trying to call a truce with these trolltalk.com members! See below...
(Yes, they actually belong to some site that is named that in tomhudson, webmistressrachel (the only one that seems to want it stopped too along with myself), jeremiah cornelius, damn_registrars, countertrolling, & gmhowell) here:

and here in this exchange also:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36512182
Trying to be "the bigger man" & extend the olive branch as the saying goes. I hope they are the same.
Why? Mainly because I know, first hand, that nobody ever wins a fight. Nobody.
(I don't think these trolltalk.com people have ever been shot at or in a fight so bad someone went to the hospital etc., which is why they troll & harass others)
I tried the "fight fire with fire"/reverse psychology thing, the only thing they seem to understand... here's what I got when I asked for a truce:
"Besides, this AC trolling action would be missed if it were to subside." - by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday June 21, @07:57AM (#36510818)
Come on... NOW - that may just be 1 of them "outta control" though. I'd just let his more reasonable peers & pals control he if they see things as I do.
I am only asking we stop this lunacy. It's stupid, it really is. This is simple to get around, just by an honorable compromise of "You leave me be, I leave you be"... it's that simple.
Balls in their court now.
I am asking it cease from their end, and I've posted enough data to show I am NOT the one keeping it up either and I don't troll people and brag about it as they do. For Pete's sake, I am asking for a truce too, so HOW can you try to throw it in MY FACE that I am doing it when I show clearly how tomhudson, gmhowell, countertrolling (the main instigators) act anyhow?
I'd really appreciate it if they would just agree to a ceasefire here publicly, that's all. Is that too much to ask??

Get over it, grow up, and keep your nose out of this please. You've shown your motivations in the link above and that you're the one with "emotional problems". You failed vs. myself, and you're obviously still stinging over it. Get over it. Grow up. Adhominem attacks from you aren't cutting it.
Where he made mistakes vs. myself http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1681772&cid=32525656 and he's still "stinging" from it.
Get over it erroneus, your "geek angst" is laughable.
In fact, I have found that whenever I've shown that others of "your ilk" make mistakes as you did, they cannot handle it, and post a lot of crap online about it in effete retaliation trying to "smear me".
Just as you are trying to do. Pitiful.
(LMAO - Give us a break!)

P.S.=> As far as my history? Well... the day you can show anyone here you've done more than this, & better, as well as before I did in the art & science of computing:
----
Windows NT Magazine (now Windows IT Pro) April 1997 "BACK OFFICE PERFORMANCE" issue, page 61
(&, for work done for EEC Systems/SuperSpeed.com on PAID CONTRACT (writing portions of their SuperCache program increasing its performance by up to 40% via my work) albeit, for their SuperDisk & HOW TO APPLY IT, took them to a finalist position @ MS Tech Ed, two years in a row 2000-2002, in its HARDEST CATEGORY: SQLServer Performance Enhancement).
WINDOWS MAGAZINE, 1997, "Top Freeware & Shareware of the Year" issue page 210, #1/first entry in fact (my work is there)
PC-WELT FEB 1998 - page 84, again, my work is featured there
WINDOWS MAGAZINE, WINTER 1998 - page 92, insert section, MUST HAVE WARES, my work is again, there
PC-WELT FEB 1999 - page 83, again, my work is featured there
CHIP Magazine 7/99 - page 100, my work is there
GERMAN PC BOOK, Data Becker publisher "PC Aufrusten und Repairen" 2000, where my work is contained in it
HOT SHAREWARE Numero 46 issue, pg. 54 (PC ware mag from Spain), 2001 my work is there, first one featured, yet again!
Also, a British PC Mag in 2002 for many utilities I wrote, saw it @ BORDERS BOOKS but didn't buy it... by that point, I had moved onto other areas in this field besides coding only...
Being paid for an article that made me money over @ PCPitstop in 2008 for writing up a guide that has people showing NO VIRUSES/SPYWARES & other screwups, via following its point, such as THRONKA sees here -> http://www.xtremepccentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=ee926d913b81bf6d63c3c7372fd2a24c&t=28430&page=3
It's also been myself helping out the folks at the UltraDefrag64 project (a 64-bit defragger for Windows), in showing them code for how to do Process Priority Control @ the GUI usermode/ring 3/rpl 3 level in their program (good one too), & being credited for it by their lead dev & his team... see here -> http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/handbook/Credits.html or here http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2993462&group_id=199532&atid=969873
AND lastly: http://g-off.net/software/a-python-repeatable-threadingtimer-class [g-off.net] where I got other programmer's work WORKING RIGHT (in PyThon no less, which I just started learning only 2 week ago no less) by showing them how to use a "Dummy Proxy Function" as I call it, to make a RepeatTimer class (Thread sub-class really) to take PARAMETERIZED F
In computer science as many times as he has?? Evidently not. Between that and the errors he pointed out that you made in not noting security vulnerability work-arounds in Linux and their mechanics (if any), vs. where apk-ac for Windows 7 could says it all.
You're the one with emotional problems, despite your saying he has them in an adhominem attack, clearly. It's called "geek angst" and you're a "ne'er-do-well" also because you haven't done as well in computers as ac apk has. Talk about telegraphing your reasons for trolling here on your part, lol!
He's trying to make peace with a pack of known trolls here is all. Ones that stalked him for a year from what it looks like on these forums shown here in fact with their own words quoted -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36513166 and even the op didn't argue with it.
I saw lists his of doing decent work in software and security mostly from google. Which examples are you talking about specifically? Your rant isn't any good without that.
Just because erroneuOs screwed up badly here vs. apk before http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36515872 and erroneOus knows that you can point out actual evidences to the contrary, not just crap based on erroneOus' "geek angst" as erroneOus spouts off topic here.

Do you even HAVE a college degree?

On it being illegal to get a new IP address by restarting a computer: (this one's hilarious)

On APK showing 100 or more moderations upwards when tomhudson posting as ac said his posting style sux etc. (more-or-less):

On APK asking if tomhudson has a degree even (let alone the PHD to show he's an expert in ENGLISH):

You're right, but I was only defending myself vs. their accusations, & other forms of "b.s." I pointed out, point by point...
Still - ribbing on tomhudson trolling as ac again? Unnecessary! The posts alone do that (& that's what they cannot stand - it gets to their "geek angst" & "l33t3 tech SkiLLz" (not) being shot down in flames point by point!).
The part about hosts files especialy gives that away easily enough http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36518446
As well as the fact tomhudson trolled me as ac stalking replies http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36518614 & told others to do so also 3x quoted tells anyone THAT much)
BUT THIS, I have to admit, made me laugh the most:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36519068
BOTTOM-LINE:
They always startup with me, via AC replies http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36518614 off topic & all as usual!
Then, I just finish it with FACTS, like ones you noted!
(How much more abuse can they bring on themselves? I offer to make peace, they do that instead... man! Some folks NEVER learn!)

Another sample... these are dated 2001. I mean really. If a person goes a whole 10 years like this and everyone seems to respond to him in the same way, what sane person can believe that he's not the problem and that the rest of the world just wants to attack him for no good reason. This is just a person who will never look at himself as the source of his own problems.
"erroneus" spelled in this way is a kind of loop. Also, it was taken from an error message reported by old IRC server software after a user attempted to change his nick to something that is not allowed -- "erroneus nick change." Oh yeah, I go way back.
What I find amazing is that he replied to my same comment numerous times and then replied to his own replies numerous times. His replies are hilariously like elementary school tactics rather like calling someone "chicken" or in his case "...ran away!" As people go, APK is quite a piece of work and completely genuine I'm convinced. He's literally stuck in a kind of loop somehow. Tracking just what he does on Slashdot alone is quite impressive. He has to track individual targets all over the place checking and rechecking comments and threads to keep his fire burning. And it's not just here. It's other places too. This is probably the most angry and obsessive person I have ever witnessed. I am completely convinced that he's over-the-top mentally ill.
Thor Schrock? Note he wouldn't answer when I asked him a couple simple questions (on HOSTS files + Spybot Search & Destroy or PING )?? Here is why in detail:
Fact is, according to CA (computer associates)- both can be classified as malwares because of Computer Associates tests criteria! For things ping can/could do "ping of death" &/or Spybot altering a HOSTS file.
Which Schrock posted to CA, AND USING MY MIDDLE NAME and LAST NAME ONLY (so I would not find it when searching my apps online when I was an avid freeware/shareware author as a student circa 1995-2002).
In the end?
Much went MY way, check it:
CA had to DOWNGRADE a single app of mine,to ZERO THREAT LEVELS, because I passed all 21 of their questions for malware testing (upon writing they on it).
Thor Schrock was made out as a FOOL to CA too, & that's why he posts that blog when I asked he remove it.
My app's NOT SCRIPTABLE: This is why Dr. Mark Russinovich of Microsoft has hassles this way @ times: He put in argc/argv commandlines into his app... I foresaw this & didn't in the app in question! It's never been used in an attack either...
---
This happens to decent software makers out there
Yes, believe-it-or-not: Ask Nir Sofer of NIRSOFT (guy makes great power tools for PC's)
ALSO:
Ask Dr. Mark Russinovich - he does decent work, former "colleague/co-worker" of mine for Sunbelt Software circa 1995-2000!
(He was decent enough to thank me in email for my helping he by pointing out a VERY ROOKIE mistake in his hardcodes in it, how to fix them via the NT Native API too, & why (he overlooked things is why, good as he is at coding).
In fact, his pstools suite?
It very OFTEN gets "used & abused" by malware makers worldwide, & recently too (psexec.exe):
http://www.installsoftware.com/microsoft-admin-tool-used-by-coreflood-to-infect-computer-networks/network_software
By the coreflood botnet no less!

That all said & aside, erroneus? YOU ARE "ERRONEOUS" YET AGAIN!
APK
P.S.=> And the TRUE CRIMINALS THERE
Well...let this tell that tale, along with Thor SCHMUCK who submitted my app to these "partners in crime" of his in CA:
---
COMPUTER ASSOCIATES BUSTED FOR ACCOUNTING FRAUD:
(PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT:)
"Customers know Computer Associates - and, these days, for all the wrong reasons. Just as the company was beginning to shed its reputation as a home for legacy software products that carried an inflated price tag, it was rocked by a series of accounting scandals. An on-going FBI fraud inquiry and investigations by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have left it reeling, with a power vacuum at the top as over a dozen senior executives have left or been sacked. The allegations centre on internal accounting and sales activities in the years around the turn of the century, and involve the movement of revenues between quarters and product areas, and consequently, the mis-statement of financial results."

(Needless to say? CA sold off their Security Suite division too recently... "Gee, I wonder why?" (not))
FROM -> http://www.information-age.com/articles/290656/the-information-age-interview.thtml
NOW: IF I were a "malware maker/hacker-cracker"? I'd have to be the STUPIDEST one there is, because I also created the 1st guide for securing Windows, highly rated @ NEOWIN (as far back as 1998-2001) here:
http://www.neowin.net/news/apk-a-to-z-internet-speedup--security-text
AND, more currently, the MOST viewed & highly rated one there is for years now since 2008 online:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=%22HOW+TO+SECURE+Windows+2000%2FXP%22&go=&form=QBRE
Which has well over 400,000++ views online (actually MORE, but 1 site with 75,000 views of it went offline/out-of-business) & it's been made either:
---
1.) An Essential Guide
2.) 5-5 star rated
3.) A "sticky-pinned" thread
4.) Most viewed in the category it's in (usually security)
5.) 2.) Got me PAID by winning a contest @ PCPitStop (quite unexpectedly - I was only posting it for the good of all, & yes, "the Lord works in mysterious ways", it even got me PAID -> http://techtalk.pcpitstop.com/2007/09/04/pc-pitstop-winners/ (see January 2008))

P.S.=> That's Across 15-20 or so sites I posted it on back in 2008... have YOU done better, troll?
No, obviously.

Jeremy Reimer? He was caught IMPERSONATING MYSELF @ Windows IT Pro forums (where he trolled me & pursued me to along with his "henchman" Jay Little (both of them had their websites removed by CrystalTech.com no less for it, because of death threats & more (they told me he'd do it again, & voila, he has!))
Jeremy Reimer also impersonated a Mr. Martin Meszaros whose words testified to my statements as well in that regard, & in regards to memory compaction tech working for various things to the "good"...
Jeremy Reimer was contacted also by his ISP/BSP & put onto a "tracking ticket" for email harassing me as well, and for making childish wav files and photos of myself in "effete retaliation"... along with Jay Little.
A Det. Felton of Vancouver B.C. Canada got ahold of Jeremy Reimer and that put a stop to ALL of that too... cooled his jets for stalking me online also with Jay Little (to Windows IT Pro, NTCompatible.com, and numerous other sites as well) & doing the same...
They are "sick in the head" which is WHY Conde Nast won't put up Jeremy Reimer's PLAGIARIZED so-called articles anymore - think History of the GUI & Douglas Englebart (whom Reimer reamed much from for that)
ALL THAT & for what?
For my asking he remove someone that IMPERSONATED ME ON HIS FORUMS, & rather nicely on my part I felt... it was Reimer himself! See above... he's known as a TROLL online!
Proof?? Ok, a good read on that note, from WINDOWS IT PRO MAGAZINE FORUMS:
http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/internals-and-architecture/the-memory-optimization-hoax#feedbackAnchor
That's where I proved to a fellow former colleague of mine @ Sunbelt Software, Dr. Mark Russinovich that Memory Optimization/Compacting tech is useful... via MICROSOFT'S OWN TECH in Clearmem.exe no less (Dr. Mark works for MS no less).
Oh, it gets BETTER & in my favor:
There @ Windows IT Pro Magazine forums, Jay Little, Reimer's "partner in crime" had said arrogantly:
"I AM AN EXPERT ON EXCHANGE SERVER"
Then, I simply put up articles from Microsoft themselves that showed memory optimizers unhalting stalled/frozen EXCHANGE SERVERS... Little ran
Even Jarrett DeAngelis (posts here as StarKruzr) then a Doctoral candidate even AGREED I had made correct points & he was an arstechnica member & pal of Jeremy Reimer + Jay Little no less!
Jay Little paid the worst though - not only did he blow it publicly on EXCHANGE SERVER (See above), He then in effete retaliation, also put up things like "APK MUST BE PUT TO DEATH" & more like it!
Which CrystalTech.com, his hosting provider, and petitionline.com + bellsouth.com removed promptly at legal order!
APK
P.S.=> Again - That's ALL here, no less, @ Windows IT Pro forums... nobody has disputed ANY of the above, since, on technical (or legal) grounds either:

FIRST: They're EXTREMELY useful in forensics, I'll tell you THAT MUCH, firsthand!
How so?
I.E./E.G.-> Recently used filelists, one of the things it checks automagically & lists if INVALID!
For example, when & IF someone tries to delete files vs. self-incrimination? It will find it and sometimes in the case of child pr0n deviants by filename ALONE can help convict sick freaks like that!
How's that so far ERRONEOUS?
And, Mine turns up things you would NOT BELIEVE that tell you what a person's been up to in that very capacity... to get them convicted in fact!
Law enforcement's used it that way before!
(I do that level of work @ times professionally, AXA MONY being my last client in that capacity in fact)...
Even after std. deletes, secure deletes, or defrags... the system keeps a record (so does the $MFT in NTFS, not a lot of folks know that, it NEVER SHRINKS!)
AND, of course, they're naturally GOOD for what they're intended for as well by removing (and compacting away) registry "holes" (sort of like a DB Compaction so the file is smaller & not plagued as much by internal fragmentation)
And of course, here's mine (shameless plug), 1 of around 30 apps I put online while still a student in freeware/shareware (some are now in commercial apps like SuperSpeed.com/EEC Systems SuperDisk &/or SuperCache - highly esteemed wares that sell to this day 16++ yrs. after I made the code for them & ideas on how to use them effectively (which, only now, are being used for terminal servers, databases, website for BETTER/FASTER PERFORMANCE):

He is truly the most disturbed person I have witnessed online ever. He has gone over my posting history adding taunts to every open discussion thread available attempting to incite some kind of reaction. He has gone to amazing lengths to do this. And this is not the act of an angry person. Anger doesn't work like that. And this is not the act of a mere troll either. Trolls do no focus or stalk their targets. So what explains this bizarre behavior? We might start by asking what he seeks to gain. Given that he perpetually cites mediocre programming and having an article or two published, he thinks he is a celebrity and that everyone should kneel to his glory. (Here's a clue -- I have worked in media publishing before... from the outside, it does appear glamourous, but on the inside, it's just work and a way to generate ad revenue. So congratulations, you helped someone sell some more ads... and your mediocre software on these download sites? Yup, more ad revenue.) His ego and self-identity has become based on what he believes of himself. In my experience, people with beliefs of this sort will literally fight to the death to defend them.
He has demonstrated the inability to control himself as demonstrated by his wild and unyielding attacks. (Attacks with assertions of victory from a battle no less) He has also demonstrated a complete failure to appreciate what his actions look like to the rest of the world. This makes him delusional and egocentric with tendencies favoring egomania.
This guy is seriously disturbing to watch. A person in this position has his entire identity built up on delusion. For him to "get better" he would first have to discard the biggest part of his own sense of self-identity and that's not an easy thing to do and for most, quite impossible. People learn some hard lessons in life with regards to serious changes in understanding of one's self and the world around them -- simple things like relationships and ideology -- things that people often experience at some point in life or another. And those changes represent only a small portion of what is considered to be character and identity. What we are witnessing is something much larger. We are witnessing at least 10 years of delusion and obsessive, combative behavior seemingly without rest.
His fight to defend and preserve his ego is primarily a battle taking place within himself. This explains why he is unable to recognize that a single response to another user is not enough or that others do not feel the need to respond or the sense of urgency he feels. He is not fighting other people -- people who only visit here once in a while. He is fighting an enemy that will never leave his side and has been there unrelentingly.
In a way, he is a star. His self-image is currently being supported by the pressure created by his burning inner-struggle. This cannot go on indefinitely and given the heat of his inner-struggle, it is doomed to burn out sooner rather than later. And when that happens, his self-image will collapse on itself. If he is lucky, he will have some family that will help him through the recovery.
I find it hard to imagine, though, a person such as this actually having any family left as his behavior isn't limited to slashdot as demonstrated earlier, and likely isn't limited to the internet. These types of personality struggles have a way of manifesting themselves in all aspects of life as this is a matter of identity and not merely "online identity."
APK, if you want help, ask for it. Your obsessive, aggressive and likely violent personality does not affect me the way you think it does. It inspires fascination in me mostly... and perhaps a little pity too. If you have any family left, go seek them out. If not, I can't imagine where you might turn as it is a foregone conclusion at this point that you have no friends.
Profanity ridden replies? Indicative of "geek angst" & embarassment leading to "FrUsTrAtiOn" on YOUR part!
"3) fuck you" -
And, there you have it - further evidence of tomhudson's "trollish ways" in ac stalker/troller replies up above, in using profanity!
(One of the "last resorts" of TROLLS too: The illogical adhominem attack! Right up there with "writing style critiques" (which he tried "levelling my way" here also - typical troll, & STALE BORING trolling techniques of that nature are child's play to turn aside with FACTS & LOGIC!))
Facts & logic are the destroyer of trolls like yourself tomhudson, everytime (especially when they produce evidence that "sinks your ship" as the URL link below does next):
The troll further reveals itself below... in the link/url posted!
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&cid=36508744
Especially the evidence in that link how your "trolltalk.com" team o' trolls do BOGUS UP MODERATIONS OF YOURSELVES, and, DOWN MODERATIONS OF OTHERS!
(That's DISHONEST - LOW... you are TRULY scum!)
APK
P.S.=> Give up already tomhudson - after all:
Your OWN WORDS quoted above in the link provided DESTROY YOU, you only did that, to yourself!
Should've NEVER tried "taking me on", period... this is the end as I told you.
(So... quit trolling me via ac replies, as you have been for a year now as evidenced in the link above no less: Yes, alongside gmhowell, links showed that but... Even gmhowell has ceased it by agreement with myself, & could be reasoned with (then again, he's a man who says he will keep his word, & cease trolling me & I will do the same in return!))
That's what guys, decent guys, do...( instead of what I call a "not man" (i.e. -> whimps & weasels) - & thus, clearly more logical than women are, usually!)

* NOW, all you have to do, is agree like gmhowell did (another of your "trolltalk.com" trollng crew around here on slashdot -> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gmhowell+site%3A+trolltalk.com&btnG=Search ) to stop trolling me via ac replies http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2251620&threshold=-1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=0 & "alles ist goot", capish?
(Yes, it's THAT simple: Again - YOU & Yours stop trolling me via ac replies as you have for a year or more now, I stop exposing you & your trolltalk.com trollers here to other /.'ers!)
* Above all else here/BOTTOM-LINE:
You only did this, to yourself tomhudson, so quit trying to "beg" & also play "SiDeWaLk-ShRiNk of /." here... you can only blame yourself.
APK
P.S.=> You're trash online, troll... there's NO doubt about it! Take your own advice, because people only take SO MUCH before they do something about it, as I have here in exposing you & yours from "trolltalk.co
No. Quit playing "SiDeWaLk-ShRiNk of /." then, because you're libeling me. Period/End Game, on that account.

NO - I only use it to humiliate "ne'er-do-well" trolls like yourself, who despite posting on /.'s forums in the computer sections, have never done a damned thing worth noting (and doing that ALWAYS provokes the reaction "your kind" gives, as you are now)!
It does so, & with ease, by asking the question I did above... pushing your buttons? Cake!

LOL!
(Now, I'm wondering what EXACTLY "set you off" so badly in the post of mine you replied to?? I have to check, it's probably KEY to your "puny brain", lol!)
See - I hate trolls, especially tomhudson & his trolltalk.com bunch (some of them are cooling it though, they're reasonable (albeit, only after you practically hold a gun to their heads)).
Just for what they are & do, especially when they can't take what they themselves dish out. However, I do love "pushing their buttons" in retrollings... you bring it on yourselves, trolls.

You only did this, to yourself, tomhudson, nobody else!
APK
From what I've been seeing from the links posted as well as what was said by both parties, you seem jealous. You can't show you've done anything good yourself in comparison when asked and the other party posted links that show you start trouble here with he trolling he. I think because he also was shown to have gotten the best of you here more than once you have a chip on your shoulder. Your rant is very telling about yourself as well. Get over it. Grow up.
That would be incorrect. I never post AC. I state my position and move on.
The behavior is the issue I point out. No one could be jealous of having lack of impulse control or impatience waiting for a response. To one comment, APK will respond 6 or more times and when he doesn't get a response, he will seek out other threads to insert childish taunts. The links linked to, I hadn't even looked at until now and it turns out he links to things other than what I wrote. So it's bad enough he goes after anything I write, he thinks I am responsible for much more.
I do find it interesting that his perceptions of "shooting down in flames" and "fail and run" are nothing more than not being interested in continuing a discussion further.
If I were angry or upset, I would not hide it. In this case, I just think he is nuts and it would seem my research into the matter indicates a pattern of this behavior all over the net. And to be clear, this behavior is not socially typical and is considered by textbooks to be indication of an abnormal mental state.
Am I wrong? Is his behavior "normal"? Do we see this sort of behavior for most people? And does the behavior not match up against the classical definition of egomania? If I am wrong in these observations, I would like someone to cite specifics as to why it is wrong. And given the age of this thread, I'm pretty certain that it is you, apk, who made the reply I am replying to. You're far too obvious.

P.S.=> Yes - THUS, You had to try to "resort to libel" like the typical troll does... lol!
U FAIL!
Just as you always have, vs. myself in the past also, which is WHY you're trying this (your "geek angst" & you can't handle being blown away, everytime, when you try to "take me on"... lol!)

(Still the same too to this day no less from SECUNIA.COM data, in fact, 3.5x less unpatched bugs for Windows 7 & that's an ENTIRE OS, not just a kernel (Linux would be worse off with the bugs in the distros other parts attached by FAR))

#2 PROOF:
http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1681772&cid=32525656
On Windows 7 having less known unpatched bugs than Linux kernel 2.6x AND, your inability to show workarounds as I did for Windows 7 2 bugs @ that time no less vs. more in Linux again, kernel only, NOT AN ENTIRE DISTRO EVEN (vs. Windows 7, a complete OS 'distro').
(Still the same too to this day no less from SECUNIA.COM data, in fact, 3.5x less unpatched bugs for Windows 7 & that's an ENTIRE OS, not just a kernel (Linux would be worse off with the bugs in the distros other parts attached by FAR))

Every once in a while, I'll yank his chain, and I've gotten him so paranoid that he now accuses almost any AC poster as being mine. He's totally obsessed with me, and it's funny, because it just makes it all the more apparent that he's not all there.
Like his accusing me of greed for giving away code that I wrote and license under the GPL. Funny definition of greed, as in "funny == sicko".
I've been ignoring him for a while, but I guess it's time to do my share of keeping him busy and off the streets by giving him a random kick in the head (though in his paranoid world I've supposedly replied to him dozens or even hundreds of times in the past weeks, when in reality, I was too busy doing an expose on starmedia to even notice him).
That's documented in his reply tom in your own words. Explain.
That's documented in his reply tom in your own words. Also, do you make monies from the adverts? Yes or no.
Documented in his reply also. Are you paid by adverts webmistressrachel noted by quote also there as well?
Answer that simple question, YES or NO.
Not other way around. Adhominem attacks aren't cutting it. Do you make monies from adverts on trolltalk.com, YES or NO?

They should call it "trollStalk.com"
Lets find out if his site is making him anything or just a waste of his time also.
Heh... greed.... nice. If that's a problem for him, then he shouldn't allow his wares to be distributed on services that sell advertising which is pretty much all of them. In fact, the articles written by him are also advertising driven. Somehow he really thinks this is some sort of competitive dick-sizing fight arena where everything he says is some sort of [violent reference] response of some kind that "blows people away."
This guy operates under his real name. It's unfortunate for him. This is a publicly available forum. Any employer or anyone who might hire him to do something can and will easily search his name out on the web. They will find this stuff and they will find all the stuff I pointed out and more. He has really put himself at a disadvantage here. And he somehow believes that "being right" is enough justification and vindication but that's not how it works in life. You get into a car accident and even though it's not your fault, your insurance rates will go up with or without good justification... same for bar fights -- maybe not your fault, but you were involved. And if an employer sees this, it won't matter what he thinks his justification may be, they will see this insanity for themselves and decide it's better to keep their distance.
He would have known this if he had used a modern ad blocker instead of his stupid hosts file. He could have just disabled ad blocking on the site for a minute and seen that he had been totally p0wned by Rachel (all she did was exploit his willingness to lie and believe the worst of anyone when it suits his own warped purposes - and only after saying plenty of times that she was trolling him).
Of course, if I *had* been making money from http://starmedia.trolltalk.com/ (as an example), there's nothing inherently wrong with that. That link is an ongoing example of citizen journalism, and I had to fight with my hosting company to reinstate it on that basis after starmedia's owner complained about my exposing his frauds. Reporters in other media make money off their journalistic endeavors, just as they do on the Internet. I choose not to. Who knows, maybe in some future alternate reality I'll become a rich and famous investigative reporter, (yeah, right :-) but right now, it's about exposing fraud and doing the right thing, not about monetization.
I certainly don't look down on traditional journalists - I'm meeting with one next week to discuss the whole starmedia mess as well as get a preview the stuff I haven't published yet. This is the future of news - cooperative, as well as competitive. It's about negotiating with hosting companies to not shut you down when a scammer complains that you're ruining their "business model," but instead acknowledge that citizen journalism is part of the common good and as such overrides any limitation of the TOS. It's about having other slashdotters ready to mirror your reporting if censorship stays in place. It's about reporting stuff even when it means you open yourself up to lawsuits, because it's the right thing to do.
Plenty of people run ads on their sites to take at least some of the financial bite out of it. I don't. Not because there's anything wrong with it in principle, I just haven't bothered to consider it, in part because of privacy concerns with ad-tracking/user-tracking. Ad servers that track you from site to site are just plain wrong, and I'll never have anything to do with them. The old-fashioned "pay per view with no tracking" I have no similar ethical issues with, but right now, I want to focus on other stuff instead.
APK (Alexander Philip Kowalski) has serious issues, he's been cyberstalking me for some time, and his "reality" needs some serious meds. He should do himself and the world a favor and go HOSTS file himself :-)
Didn't look like that tom. You libeled and trolled he as ac posts from what I saw. Have you lost your mind? I've read some of your replies and you are losing it. Calm down.
You may note his excessive and repetitive use of the term "libel." You may want to look up the term in detail to see where anything you have said can be considered such. I have and so far, everything I have said is in direct reference to things he has said backed with my commentary which is my [let's call it 'unqualified'] opinion. I doubt I'll be target of an actual lawsuit and even if I were, his own actions are far more damning than anything I could say here. And besides that, imagine what would happen if a slashdotter were to be sued for libel? There are more than enough supporters, vigilantes and interests here to work against anything like that from being successful.
Still, it would be good to be sure you don't say too much of the wrong stuff and definitely don't make stuff up. Also, I linked to a page that contained his home address... probably no longer accurate after all this time, but still -- there are standards were actually publishing such information could result in adverse legal action where you would be found liable.
But one thing about libel claims that I found most interesting is the emotional injury issue. I think we pretty much agree that this guy is more than a little "off balance." Claims of emotional injury or damage might easily fit in this case as evidence of mental and emotional issues seem pretty clear... but it would be like charging someone with arson who attempted to burn down a house that was already on fire.
tomhudson are you losing your miind? http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2263468&cid=36544496 Libel that can affect someone's career is not a smart move. We all saw your posts today and you really need to calm down. I saw posts of your trolling him as anonymous coward replies but the ones you said he didn't work in the industry is a mistake. That's libel.
This quote looks like libel to me tomhudson http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1992296&cid=35192078

http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1992296&cid=35186644 he has worked in computing and never said a hosts file could secure a computer completely because when you were asked to show where he said it, you did not produce it. Telling lies that could adversely affect someone's livelyhood is libel tom. You seem to think trolling is cool to do. It's a form of stalking from what I have seen out of you because you told others to harass the man 3 times by anonymous coward replies which iirc is coordinated defamtion with your trolltalk.com friends involved. Not a very intelligent thing to be engaging in online tom.
I'm not the least worried. He threatened to sue me, I told him to go ahead, produced the links showing he's always making those threats and never going through with them, big talker, small doer, blah blah blah ... end result, he began making all sorts of excuses why "it's not worth it."
Once someone says it's not worth it, they lose the right to sue for that particular event, since you can now use their own words that "it's not worth it" against them, to show that there were, at most, de minimus damages.
It's really pitiful - the first time he tried to get away with the "I'll sue you" threat, he was claiming to have a law firm on retainer "so that it wouldn't cost him more just to sue" (he obviously doesn't know how those arrangements work). At the same time, he was explaining elsewhere that he was no longer going to pay to serve up his "hosts files" and other stuff because he wanted to save the $80 a year to buy a new graphics card instead.
He's a joke with no punch line. A stalker who does so to try to increase his own sense of importance in the world, not realizing that everyone is laughing at him, and the more he tries to lie and bully, the more attention he draws to his eccentric, bizarre, misogynist behavior.
He really has a problem with women proving him wrong. He cannot stand that, and resorts to childish bullying and name-calling, like any other immature pinhead.
In my case, I really, really got his goat, and not just because I encourage others to use the same tactics against him that he uses, and that I exposed his threats as hollow bluffs (see my user profile for why he's obsessed with me personally).
A stalking scumbag with one eye that nobody wants.
Show us a quote of my stating explicitly that I would sue you, explicitly... I never said that at all.
I did say that based on your libeling me, and someone saying I was libeling you though?
That I had grounds for countersuit or suit vs. yourself, & that's all.
Now, You said I was never in the industry of computing, that I had no home, etc.? Now, that's all libel and untrue on your part, tomhudson. No questions asked.
APK
P.S.=> The funniest part is you think it's "Cool to Troll others" & tomhudson, it's not. It's another word for harassing them. Have you ever wondered why only other "trolls" hang around you, why you are alone with your dogs? It's because you're a miserable 1 eyed troll that harasses others online. Face it. NO man wants you... and you KNOW it, lol!
... apk
You're the one resorting to name calling tom. Hypocrite much?
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2261720&cid=36545928 Is it because you trolled someone http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&threshold=-1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=36521452 and they shot you down on every so called point you tried to make and they did it with documented facts anyone could see? I saw you run like a whipped dog 10 times there in fact, and for starting trouble with others you threaten to blackmail? Very intelligent (not)
I love how he pretends to be a third party, commenting on the thread against you... as if ANYONE is interested besides him!

Between you stalking & harassing apk as anonymous coward posts and your friend the blackmailer erroneus here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2261720&cid=36545928 it's not looking good anymore than your libel of him did tomhudson. You need to have your head examined tomhudson.
You're the bully tom. You have been shown to troll harass he all over as anonymous coward replies. Your rants in trying to defend yourself? Nobody even believes you anymore troll. We all know you're a miserable, childless, barren, trolling/stalking monstrosity that's ruined her own life and is alone. Period.
Also, I linked to a page that contained his home address... probably no longer accurate after all this time, but still
You do know all that sort of stuff is public record, right?
Oh, and the part that's really rich is if you look up the sale history of that address (http://ocfintax.ongov.net/ImateSyr/report.aspx?file=&swiscode=311500&printkey=00900000130120000000&sitetype=res&siteNum=1... click the one for public access on the login form and you'll get full access to the report). I won't spoil the surprise... but really, check it out. I bet you'll get a kick out of it.
(Sale history is near the bottom of the report... oh, and the Heat Type that's listed under Utilities almost made me spit coffee on my keyboard too.)
Which erroneus ran from in subsequent posts beneath yours here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&threshold=-1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=36521452
Then when you were retrolled on it here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2261720&cid=36545928 you even made an obvious blackmail attempt out of your geek angst.
seems you're interested and trolling as ac again tomhudson. Plenty of posts here show how you do with your words quoted that you do to apk to harass and stalk him.
LOL! delusional bonehead.
Seems every AC other than you is tomhudson, huh?
If you're not APK, then SIGN your AC posts, bonehead.

That dude seriously looks pretty damn handsome. I suspect you're just jealous.
To a homosexual that likes fat, bald FAIL posters pershaps. Jorge may may be himself, who knows? I don't judge, and not homosexual myself. You say a guy's handsome, when you're probably a male yourself because women generally are such a minority on geek forums like this the odds are that you're another male and doubtless his lover, lol!
Haha, you need to work on your writing but you have a point.
Quit projecting strange homosexual desires & ask him out then. He may even accept and you get lucky too. Who knows?
That I disproved (it's erroneus posting as ac) ... Which erroneus ran from in subsequent posts beneath yours here
What the hell did that have to do with the post you replied to? Namely, this:
a page that contained his home address... probably no longer accurate after all this time, but still ... You do know all that sort of stuff is public record, right? ... http://ocfintax.ongov.net/ImateSyr/report.aspx?file=&swiscode=311500&printkey=00900000130120000000&sitetype=res&siteNum=1
To a homosexual that likes fat, bald FAIL posters pershaps. ... You say a guy's handsome, when you're probably a male yourself
What's the matter, APK... you can't admit when another man is good-looking cause you're afraid you'll get a woody or something? According to this link homophobia is associated with homosexual arousal. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8772014 sounds like you're probably a closet fag, APK.
And learn to fucking spell, dickwad. "pershaps"? Not only are you a closet fag but you're apparently an idiot too.
I'm also no homophobe. I have friends who're homosexuals over time in fact. In the end, they're just human beings that can't help themselves & part of their nature (found that out by talking to a gay friend of mine asking him WHY he was as he is).
APK
P.S.=> So, I can accept that (but I don't exactly like it, but what is one supposed to do?), but I cannot accept erroneus' libeling myself and running from data that disproves it with backing documentations shown in this exchange above... apk
Not homosexual here
I'm also no homophobe.
Sure you may claim that but your homophobic comments & accusing other people of being homosexuals because they think someone is good looking prove otherwise. It's obvious that you're a homophobe & clearly closeted faggot as well, that's why you have so much rage and hatred toward people who you think might be homosexuals or who are transsexuals (like tomhudson) and also toward women like webmistressrachel... attacking someone because they were raped? That's low even for a piece of human filth like you, apk. More like non-human filth, if you ask me. Who knows? A sociopath like you wouldn't surprise me if you end up in prison eventually, so maybe you'll learn what rape is really like (and have your secret homosexual fantasies fulfilled, too, most likely).
Sorry to disappoint you: Not gay here, so I am not "on the menu, go find yourself another dish", ok? I could care less if someone is gay though - they're just how they are!
(Somewhat "messed up", to be honest imo psychologically, because sex is functionally about procreation, & men cannot get pregnant period (normally @ least, lol))
I've talked to my friends over time who turned up that way, & they said "why do you like women sexually?" & I said "it's just how I am"... they said "there you go" & I understood!
They go through a lot of crap about it, but your accusing me of being gay? Come on, lol... clue/new News/NEWFLASH:
* I, apk, am not gay/homosexual, period, normal heterosexual male here
(So... there you go & in nice bold letters too!)
APK
P.S.=> Now, You can try to make me out as gay all you like, suit yourself, but I am not. Being called "gay" here doesn't bother me - I know I am not (lol, & my past history proves that much easily).
Still - IF that's all you've got apparently, & libeling me above after I disproved all "so called points" based on people word's from arstechnica in Jeremy Reimer and Jay Little?
Dumb move!
Both Jeremy Reimer & Jay Little of arstechnica (@ the time for Little, don't know about now) did these things to myself repeatedly:
---
1.) Death Threasts (APK MUST DIE) publicly online which was removed by CrystalTech.com & Reimer's ISP in NY State no less when he did his OSY/Pegasus forums there had him remove my personal information from email I did not give he permission to post,
2.) Libel (Jeremy Reimer posted edited photos of myself to harm my reputation) removed by his ISP/BSP forcibly
3.) Stalking me site to site online (Windows IT Pro, NTCompatible.com, & others for years)
4.) Email harassing me (which Reimer's ISP Shaw of Canada put him on a tracking ticket for)
5.) Impersonating me on his website (which began the whole thing & I wrote Jeremy Reimer rather nicely to remove it, he ended up having to PUBLICLY ADMIT it was not I on his personal website also)
---
( & FAR more, for YEARS no less... talk about "twisted"! )
erroneus posting it here to try to harm my reputation, when it is NOT true what he posted? LIBEL... period!
... apk
webmistressrachel said she was raped twice here publicly:
"I've been left for dead after rape twice, in different towns" - http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2250914&cid=36535156
FROM -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2250914&cid=36535156
(That makes that public information actually, she said it herself as well...)
IN FACT - When I heard that, I said this in fact, quoted verbatim:
"WoW... I am sorry to hear that you went thru some of the things you noted - that's horrible. I am truly, SO sorry..." - by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday June 22, @06:07PM (#36535614)
FROM -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2250914&cid=36535614
So, so much for MORE falsehoods & LIBEL directed MY WAY by tomhudson or erroneus I suspect...
APK
P.S.=> You can try to make me look bad, but as usual, I will post actual documented information that proves QUITE otherwise, easily... vs. your anecdotal b.s. & libel!
... apk
The adhominem attacks, see here: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2253808&threshold=-1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=36521452
That's all...
(See the posts beneath his, says it all, part #1 thru part #5 where I disprove his bullshit point by point & show WHY he's done that!)
APK
P.S.=> That photo's not I, lol, or I wouldn't be posting here... apk
tomhudson says it himself, douchebag, in his own words:
