Yes, and Google's App Platform for Government wasn't FISMA certified and thus wasn't qualified to be bought. Then Google sues and lies about having that certification. I'm seeing no reason why Google's lawsuit should be entertained at all. Especially since if this were Microsoft doing exactly what Google is doing the S
First, Google Apps was FISMA certified in July of last year. This is about a subset of Google Apps (because the gov't. doesn't want everyone using the whole shebang). It would be like Microsoft getting Microsoft Office.Net (or whatever they call it this week) certified, then someone complaining that Microsoft Word.Net isn't.
Second, Microsoft doesn't have ANY FISMA certification, so if certification were a requirement, Microsoft cannot bid.
Oh, he'll be by. Just like he was on LWN and zdNet and here and everywhere else, pushing the whole "PJ is not a real person" and "groklaw deletes comments." (Groklaw, a moderated blog, deletes comments? Quel scandale!).
The word "her" needs citation. There was an avatar named "PJ", who claimed that "PJ" meant "Pamela Jones", but there was never any verifiable track record, such as past and current employers, and "PJ" never presented "herself" in public. I just explained in another comment here that this lack of transparency wasn't reasonable.
But assuming that "PJ" is a person, I don't know what you mean by "talent". "PJ" claimed to be a paralegal, admitted not to have programming knowledge, and very apparently failed to understand the world of business. In other words, we talk about a person who apparently would have liked to become a lawyers but failed to get there, and who missed some other important perspectives that "she" would have needed to provide holistic analysis of the issues "she" covered.
What a load of crap, considering
1. not only that Mueller is not a lawyer, but has done his best to give the impression he is, and not corrected it when people fell for it
2. has always been aware that PJ is a real person - he posted his crap on SJVNs blog at zdnet, the same Steven J Vaughan-Nichols who wrote that he's met PJ.
3. when I pointed out to this piece of work on the weekend that PJ had spoken with SJVN and RMS, he didn't ask for any citation for SJVN, just RMS. He already had seen the SJVN article. He's such a bad liar.
Of course, what can you expect from someone who is trying so desperately, and failing so badly, to re-invent themselves as a mouthpiece for hire for somebody... ANYBODY....
He's just another amateur troll, one of those "useful fools" we occasionally hear about...
You can see the crapfloods Florian Mueller makes there about how PJ isn't a real person (even though she worked for ODSL, and Steven J Vaughan-Nichols wrote that he met her several times, etc.), or hop over to LWN and hear him complain about how HE is more deserving of recognition.
May 16th is Red Dress Day, in honor of Pamela Jones.
Did this guy even read the license the device is sold under?!
No, it wasn't his device, and it was no longer working, so he fixed it.
It would seem to me that fixing a broken device should be allowed under at least some circumstances.
If Apple is smart, they'll ignore this, and watch as their sales increase, same as happened to Linksys when their routers got hacked to enable linux to run on them. Now, of course, you can buy linksys routers already running linux and with a usb port,
RE: Mission Accomplished: SCO Loses, Groklaw Closes
@Robert Hahn Contrary to what you wrote in your 04/10/2011 12:34 PM comment, I don't have an employer. I'm simply independent.
So, now we know why Mueller can troll so many different discussion boards full-time. He doesn't have a job. He's "independent." Nobody is paying him for his "services."
In other words, he's one of those "useful fools" that can be exploited because they hope that, in return, a company like Mickeysoft will throw them a bone at some future date.
Today, as Jones wrote, âoeThe crisis SCO initiated over Linux is over, and Linux won. SCO as we knew it is no more.â And, thatâ(TM)s what really important here, not the carping of desperate anti-Linux enemies looking for anything to whine about.
Linux has won. It dominates the smartphone market. It owns a virtual monopoly in supercomputing. It powers the biggest websites that people use every day - google, facebook, amazon. It runs the worlds stock exchanges and financial markets. Linux webservers power the web. It's over. Linux has won, SCO and the people funding SCOs attack on linux, have lost.
Let me address this directly. Yes, Pamela Jones is a real person. Iâ(TM)ve met her several times, and Iâ(TM)ve often âoetalkedâ with her on email and IM. I consider her a friend.
She is not a front for anyone. She is a paralegal, hence her excellent legal research skills, which are the foundation of her stories. And, sheâ(TM)s a journalist by any standard I know of.
It's FUD because it's based on lies. For example, IBM never initiated any threats. What happened was that TurboHercules, who were trying to monetize the Hercules project, tried to goad IBM into suing... and failed.
They asked IBM what patents the emulator might be infringing, and IBM gave them a list, as requested. From that, all of a sudden they were screaming "IBM is going to sue us for infringement", showing the response from IBM as if it were something IBM sent them out of the blue, rather than a response to their own question.
IBM only reacted to the attempts to monetize the Hercules emulator by Roger Bowler, and btw, what Bowler wanted to do is both a licensing and a copyright violation. You simply don't have a right to run multiple copies of an OS when you've only paid for one - and the Hercules emulator needs to run on top of a copy of IBMs OS. It's like saying you have the right to run an extra copy of Windows or OSX so you can run a terminal emulator.
Mueller and a few others were making libelous claims against IBM on groklaw and a lot of other sites. On groklaw, the policy is simple - no swearing, no using *** to hide swearing, such as b*tch or sh*t, etc., and outright lies will probably get you the boot.
In the case of the Hercules emulator, which runs on top of IBMs operating system, there is no doubt that what Bowler want to do (and what Mueller is claiming should be allowed) is a copyright violation. You don't have a right to take your copy of the operating system and install a second copy (never mind a whole slew of copies) of it to run on other machines while "in recovery mode" - ie: a term they coined to try to give legitimacy to making extra copies of the OS.
Don't you follow the other Anonymous Cowards who attack me? I'm (in this latest version) an evil programmer who writes spyware for the Russian Mafia (or something like that - it's hard for them to keep their stories coherent).
Who knows - maybe they're right, and by reading this comment, you've been infected...
I don't respond to the vast majority of FM's posts - I don't even see them.
However, I'm the one who posted the original story, and I do have a history of attacking FM when his lies do attract my attention (as they did starting with his lies wrt TurboHercules, and his subsequent attacks on RedHat). My motivation is simple - the guy lies, and his lies happen to attack something I value - F/LOSS.
Now throw in that he is still continuing to claim that PJ doesn't exist, despite Steven Vaughan-Nichols saying that he's met her several times. The guy lies, knows its a lie, but continues to do so because that's the only way he can't come across as a spineless cur slandering a grandmother.
His unfounded attacks on open source are also well known, as are his attempts to give an impression he's a lawyer when he's not. When asked who pays him, he doesn't say. Instead, he refers people to wikipeida, but nowhere does that say who is paying him to do his current 2-year FUD campaign against open source. The questions he tries to avoid answering, rather than saying "none of your business", are most revealing.
First, Groklaw is NOT shutting down. Just that no new articles will be posted. The site will remain running, all the content will still be there, including the proof that you're a shill and a troll.
Second, the policy is only used to prevent groklaw from becoming a platform for the dissemination of FUD - you know, the stuff you like to spread because you have nothing better to do.
Third, as another poster asks, what do you do for a living and who pays you?
.
Quoting court filings extensively, in many cases the complete document, is hardly FUD.
Of course, that's in stark contrast to trolls/shills like Florian Mueller, who keep on making the same assertions over and over, whether it's about PJ or your attacks on open source in general...
with them often literally billing you by the CPU cycle used.
... you mean like "the Cloud"?
Also, your attempt to say that Microsoft is better than IBM mainframes fails because Microsoft doesn't make computers - and their operating system is a failure when it comes to high-availabiity real-time computing (or did you miss how the "Highly Reliable Times" turned out to be the "Total Failure Replaced by Linux" at the LSE)?
TurboHercules is a chump-change investment to generate more FUD against anyone who threatens Microsoft, same as the SCO PIPE fairy investment deal through RBC.
Why don't you go and ask him, you silly troll? Or better yet, you could always just google... and look for where Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols is cited as saying:
Since PJ has disappeared recently, there are now rumours abounding again that she does not exist. However Linux Watch's Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols said that Jones did exist as he had met her several times and chatted on email.
"She is not a front for anyone. She is a paralegal, hence her excellent legal research skills, which are the foundation of her stories. And, she's a journalist by any standard I know of," he wrote. He admits that he has never seen her passport, but he deeply admires her anyway.
Of course, one could be forgiven of thinking you never met a lie you didn't like, with all your FUD.
Your attacks on PJ have been motivated by a combination of jealousy and plain old-fashioned sexism. As a wannabe "mouthpiece", you can't stand that Pamela is one of the most important, and most respected, people in the F/LOSS ecosystem.
You simply can't bear the thought that a woman could do what PJ did - hence all the cries of "who is Pamela Jones", "she doesn't exist", "she's really a team of IBM lawyers", etc.
It was necessary for your purposes to make Pamela Jones into something less than a woman and a grandmother; after all, viciously attacking a grandmother for pointing out the truth would lump you in with the wife-beaters, child molesters, and other scum.
And you know what's funny? She's leaving on a high note, having accomplished what she set out to do - you on the other hand, have single-handedly earned yourself a reputation as a rather boring buffoon. You really are jealous of her, and it shows.
You must have a lot of email addresses and a time on your hands. You and MichealKristopeit should hang out sometime./blockquote
Maybe we can fix them up with Alexander Peter Kowalski - the APk hosts file spam troll - and the three of them can get a room somewhere..
Please read again the page you linked to. Nowhere does it say that there cannot be permanent side effects - only that 2% of males experienced the side effects, and that they went away when they stopped taking the drug, in a limited-time trial.
It's been known for decades that continual ingestion of anti-androgens (for a period of over 6 months) can cause permanent loss of potency. This lawsuit is bogus.
The proper term is "SEOdomites," you ignorant clod:-p
If they don't also include a "-1" button, it's just as lame as FaceBork.
And if they *do* include a "-1" button, it's STILL just as lame. Imagine giving everyone mod points. Now make it so that SOEdomites have a financial interest in gaming this feature. Welcome to the reality of antisocial networks.
Your whole computer will fit in your pocket and use cloud storage.
"Is that a computer in your pocket, or are you just happy you see me?"
