The only other organization I know of that demands protection money is
the mob and ETA.

So with reluctance time for you to go PLONK

In case anyone else wishes to not have to see any further posts from Alias.
in Window Mail, just highlight the message then select on the menu Message
.... Junk E-mail > ... Add Sender to Blocked Senders List
You will then see no more posts from Alias (until he changes his address)

Not off topic. People might want to know that when they buy Vista, they
are supporting an organization that has a protection racket going just
like the Mafia and ETA (a terrorist organization in the Basque Country).

Being a drama queen like Frank? Do you have the self control to stick to
your plonking guns?

Yeah, but if your Blocked Senders List gets too big, what happens?

Heh.

Personally, I quite like to see the occasional "controversial" posting.

If I don't want to follow it I don't need to. There is always the DEL key
;-)

My "type"? Are you stereotyping again, Mike?

It was just for you, Mike.

There are over a hundred in my list and 3/4 of them are Alias and his

Well Alias, at least we don't try to solicit for business in the
newsgroups like some people!

It was just for you, Mike.

I kinda like posts like this. it gives me somethign to read over lunch or
when work is slow. If anyone asks I can say its work related since it deals
with vista support. Anyone feel like posting today's news headlines too? or
maybe sports?

Happy thursday everyone!

LOL

mmmmm stew.. I would kill for a good bowl of clam chowder today.

...Sorry, is that off topic?

So true. I think a lot of the MVPs come here to troll for business and
to show everyone how good they are at calling those who disagree them
trolls and other insults.

Hi Alias,

Actually, it has yet to be proven that they have a protection racket
going. If they take a Linux vendor to court, and win, it's not
protection money. If they take a Linux vedor to court, and lose,
then it is protection money. At the moment, no knows for sure
either way, and the one's refusing to deal with them are taking a
gamble. Only time will tell if they are the winners or losers. I
certainly don't have a clue either way.

Hey, we got these patents that could kill ya. Want protection? No, we
don't tell anyone which patents we're talking about. Want protection?
It'll cost you millions.

Pulease, pull the other one; it has bells on it.

Well I tell you one very good reason why it's all a bunch of crap.

Going after Mandriva who is a french Vendor?

Now tell me exactly what legal grounds MS has on its US patents in France?

So even *if* there is truth in MS' claims, they are fairly meaningless
outside the US.

Example:

http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=1527

So *what* exactly, beyond FUD & Money, does MS hope to gain by going after
a french vendor with claims that, even if valid, are utterly meaningless
to that vendor?

You're calling MS the MOB and a terrorist organization and you call someone
else a drama queen?
You're bad joke

No, he’s not even a good example of bad joke.
He's evolved into the epitome of a real linux as*hole loser of troll.
IOW, he’s totally worthless.
Totally.
