[...] he cares very deeply what a bunch of "AC on the internet" people think - he's written blog posts about them, he tries to win arguments with them, and he fuels them with endless flamebait comments.
Actually, I don't. Not on a personal level. Pulling the controversy from Slashdot to a platform where I collect the ad revenues is good business for me. If there is anything that the asshats on Slashdot shown me in the last three months, controversy is good for business.
Unless those sites were also operating within the United States, there would be no reason for them to comply with a DMCA takedown request.
All but the Russian websites have procedures for taking down disputed content. Only two things matter in takedown notice: the original link and the infringing link. If the two matches, the content gets taken down.
I won't reply to you again, but you can bet I'll be reporting your comments.
Slashdot management made the determination to delete five fake user accounts for abusing another user on the website. I had to file two dozen DMCA takedown requests to get my picture taken down from every image website in Europe.
Successfully being the village idiot probably can be seen as a form of success.
This village idiot just finished installing, partationing, and formatting a 3TB hard drive in his Red Hat Linux box, and is now testing rsync to backup his FreeNAS file server.
People didn't want to pay for an expensive product with limited use-cases. Once the technology improved through Psion, Palm Pilot, iPhone; tech geeks became interested.
Not exactly. Read "Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure" by Jerry Kaplan, about the first pen-based handheld computer in the late 1980's that got screwed over by Microsoft ("Why aren't you using Windows?!"), Intel ("Why aren't you using the 386 processor?!"), Apple ("We invented that with the Apple Newton!"), and IBM ("We don't know what we're doing but sign these forms anyway!").
An asshat recently asked this question: "Why do you set yourself up for massive failure? All. The. Fucking. Time?"
My (corrected) response: "If you have to ask that question, than you know nothing about success."
Let me elaborate... failure is a learning process. You can learn more from failure than you can from success. If the world already views you as a failure, say, for being the fat retarded kid on the short bus, than you have absolutely nothing to lose by trying to succeed. Not once, not twice, not thrice,
but as many times as possible in a lifetime. Failure becomes permanent only when you give up. I have absolutely no intention of ever giving up.
I even repeat my tweets three times, eight hours apart, because this triples the amount of click-throughs. A few people will complain, but if you aren't pissing off some people on social media, you're not using it right.
I do know that you can't spell, and often skip words in your sentences.
No one does an editorial process for random comments.
Not a great confidence builder in your "personal brand" (WTF) as an author.
My personal brand didn't come into play until some asshats decided to abuse it for shake and giggles. Things have calmed down quite a bit after Slashdot management deleted five user accounts at my request.
He wrote on slashdot that the problem was that $1 ebooks just aren't popular anymore.
The problem is 1) people are unwilling to pay $1 for 1,000+ words, 2) a $1 dollar ebook can only be discounted to FREE, and 3) I'm no longer a big fan of FREE. My solution is to commission new artwork, consolidate my titles into fewer ebooks (2,500+ words), and raise the price to $1.99.
Kristine Kathryn Rusch has a long article on how the business change over the last 50 years and why indie authors need to develop their own personal brand.
The reviewer said they were expecting a story, but it was only a short transcript of a vague memory.
You would think that the price and the word count in the description would give hint that this ebook wasn't a magnum opus. It's easy to write a critical review when it doesn't cost you any money.
I'm pretty sure Christ had something to say about judging others, too. Something about a mote and a beam, right? Where's the Christ-like behavior, creimer?
Look at the Apostles who followed Christ. What did they do most of the time? Argue.
But really, thanks for jumping in with your irrelevant anecdote, Captain Obvious.
You're welcome.
I'd laugh my ass off if your waste of perfectly good electrons disappeared from the internet.
The ad revenues I get from Slashdot readers visiting my websites over the last three months is enough to pay for six months of web hosting. But I'm putting the money towards three months of The Wall Street Journal instead.
So in other words, you're just talking to hear yourself talk?
If I wanted to hear myself talk, I wouldn't be writing comments on Slashdot. However, I do have a YouTube channel. Once I figured out my angle for vlogging (which won't be anytime soon), you too can hear me talk as well. Don't forget to comment, like and subscribe. Thank you for giving me another opportunity to promote my personal brand.
I can't wait to read the next article about the grid [...]

An operation that should have taken you... what, 10 minutes?
Took me 30 minutes with the Cougar QBX mini-ITX case. I may be a big guy but I build my systems small.

Whatever floats your boat.
Shame on you, creimer, for abusing the DMCA.

But the trolls like to keep you flipping around on the floor of their rowboat.
That could explain why they're sinking all over the place. They're gonna need a bigger boat!
Coach.

One.
That could explain why every asshat on Slashdot has taken a sudden interest in my sex life in the last few days.
Why do you set yourself up for massive failure? All. The. Fucking. Time?
If you have to ask that question, than you nothing about success.
And then you think Trump needs lessons...
Guy Kawasaki isn't facing an obstruction of justice charge. At the very least, Trump should follow his attoney's advice and STFU.

And what would you know about women, scorned or otherwise?
More than you can imagine.
So your great source of "social media strategy" is from someone no one has ever heard of?
Guy Kawasaki — former Apple evangelist, author and speaker.
You must not be a real nerd. Turn in your geek cred and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
One single guy who is quite possibly almost as narcissistic and pathological as you?
You're thinking of Trump, who could learn a few things from Guy Kawasaki about social media.
Your imaginary life is like a Mexican soap opera!
Where the asshat gets shot in the stomach by scorned woman.
I've never heard this. Show me a Twitter account posting the same thing 3 times a day.
Guy Kawasaki: See pro tip #8.

He wrote a short story on amazon about pooping on the sidewalk, the one reviewer gave it 2 stars.
That was The Cabbage Patch Doll Fight: A Christmas Shopping Tale, about the Cabbage Patch doll in the early 1980's. Overall rating for that ebook is 3.5 stars.

A *spell* checker won't check your *grammar*, nippledick.
WOOSH!
A *spelt* checker is probably like an inspector at a grain factory.
Spelt is the British variation of spelled.
