Dvorak aka Wrong John has a well earned reputation for being 100% wrong on most occasions concerning technology directions.
I recall in the 90's how Wrong John stated without reservation that high speed cable networking would never work.
Wrong John has also opined about the dismal future for Linux - he thought that Apple would produce a version of the Apple OS for '86 processors and steal the desktop market from Microsoft.
Yup, Wrong John is for amusement only - not for serious debate.
You should really look up the definition of the word 'plausible'.
(1) Seemingly or apparently valid, likely, or acceptable; credible: a plausible excuse.
(2) Giving a deceptive impression of truth or reliability.
(3) Disingenuously smooth; fast-talking: Ambitious, unscrupulous, energetic,... and plausible,a political gladiator, ready for a set-to in any crowd (Frederick Douglass).

It is not a crime to be illiterate, it is just unfortunate.
How better to sow FUD than to freshly address a couple of inconsequential and indecisive articles covering the major fearpoint holding back Linux F/OSS advancement!
Microsoft could not have done a better job - wait a minute. Jeff Causey IS a Microsoft Guy!
Jeff Causey is instrumental in preventing Linux F/OSS adoption in Alamance County, NC - after all, Jeff is the Chief Information Officer AND Chief Financial Officer of Alamance County and that is a 100% Microsoft shop.
The ip-wars website is in fact an anti-F/OSS allie website cloaked in F/OSS clothing.
ip-wars is owned and operated by Jeff Causey - aka Microsoft Guy!
I understand that Jeff wants to do some damage control now that he has been outed as a Microsoft shill.
Jeff concealed his Microsoft Zealot background until the Alamance County, North Carolina, 2003/2004 IT budget was discovered. A document that denied any Linux F/OSS initiatives despite a large potential savings in license and administration costs that could be realized.
Jeff Causey authored that document and it was immediately moved and hidden on the Alamance County website when he was outed - just what is Jeff trying to hide?
I am not suggesting for a moment that Jeff should have revamped the entire Alamance County IT system with all Linux F/OSS applications. But how about replacing some of those Microsoft NT4 servers with inexpensive simple Linux F/OSS network services?
How about even a Linux pilot program to encourage Mcrosoft to sweeten up it's licensing deal?
I want to judge people not by what they say but by what they actually do.
Jeff is a demonstrated Mcrosoft Guy that has created, funded (from his own pockets) and administers a website that covertly operates as an anti-F/OSS FUD incubator site. The site is riddled with irrational hate messages and articles directed at numerous Linux F/OSS allies.
Microsoft has tried and failed with it's overt attacks on Linux F/OSS - ip-wars is the beginning of a 'grassroots' inside attack against the Linux F/OSS community.
Here we have another article meant to stir Fear Uncertainty and Doubt from ip-wars, a website created, personally funded and administered by Jeff Causey - a certified Microsoft supporter.
ip-wars is just a thinly F/OSS-veiled FUD-incubator for the Microsoft camp populated by malcontents and morons.
Jeff Causey is the Chief Information Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Alamance County, North Carolina - a 100% Microsoft shop.
Jeff is the guy that has managed to keep Linux out of the Alamance County IT infrastructure despite having to upgrade to Microsoft XP at considerable expense from Microsoft NT4 servers and (98/2000) Windows desktops.
Jeff will tell you that he had no choice BUT he is the guy that is both Chief Information Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Alamance County, NC, so who did have a choice? Jeff Causey authored the budget that clearly protects Alamance County from the evils of F/OSS.
Jeff will claim he wasn't really aware of Linux - in 2003 Jeff wasn't aware of Linux BUT he mentions it on his graphs (Linux 0%) AND he is THE Chief Information Officer for Alamance County.
Jeff will tell you that he has learned better since then but he will also reveal that there is still no Linux in Alamance County.
No NT4's being replaced by Linux network services! No Linux/Samba file/print servers! No Linux/Squid proxy servers! No Linux/Apache webservers! Not even a Linux pilot program to negotiate a better licensing deal from Microsoft.
Don't even ask about Linux/KDE desktops! Alamance County is a Microsoft shop and the reason is Jeff Causey - The Microsoft Guy in F/OSS clothing.
What a coincidence - Jeff Causey, The Microsoft Guy is the chief architect of a site that routinely attacks Linux F/OSS allies.
Jeff even removed a document from the Alamance County website that clearly demonstrates his obvious prejudice against Linux F/OSS:
20032004BudgetProposedITPlan.pdf
Try and find it at www.alamance-nc.com* - it was 'moved' when Jeff was revealed as Microsoft Guy.
* (best viewed... with Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows)
When the BGEs (Bitter Groklaw Exiles) start a FUD-storm against a Linux F/OSS ally you will find the idea was incubated on ip-wars with Jeff pulling the levers behind the curtain.

Lest we forget that Microsoft wants to control everything that appears on our desktops.
Anybody remember Microsoft's 'Push Technology'?
Neither do I.

EXACTLY!
ip-wars is an anti-F/OSS anti-Linux hate site in F/OSS clothing.
It is owned and operated by Jeff Causey, a 100% Microsoft Guy (judging by his actions - not his words).
The ip-wars webiste is riddled with hate and disinformation about Linux F/OSS allies, all under the cover of a TRUE F/OSS principles website!
The most dangerous thing about Jeff Causey is that he sounds plausible.
"I am the great and powerful Ozpay no attention to that man behind the curtain."
