Jesus, man. What is your problem? You're either insane or simply
an idiot. Do you spend every minute of your life posting about Linux?
You are obsessed.
Get a life. Do something. Go outside. Read a book. Take a shower.

Most of what Schestowitz does is robotized.
He has software that takes RSS feeds, sorts them, searches for certain
phrases, makes comments taken from a database and spits out the stuff to
every corner of the Internet.

Of course he also comments manually, but most of his SPAM is automated.

He is also being compensated to do all of this SPAMMING.

Posting on topic in favourable light of Linux is terrible, isn't it?

Linux has worked well with me. OTOH, even Microsoft MVP's shun
Vista:

Help with the launch? No, thanks

As a diligent Microsoft MVP, I wanted to volunteer to help the
mother empire with the Vista launch. I would go to a local
BestBuy or CompUSA and help Microsoft promote the new OS. But
after this experience, you won’t drag me there even with a free
Zune. I just can’t offer people to buy such crap. I’m sorry for
people who will buy and install it. Hey, at least I’m being
honest about it!

Here is a hum dinger:

Freeze-ups

I couldn’t even suspect I’d have so much use my the Reset button.
If I put Vista to sleep, things go very wrong once I wake it up.
IE 7 freezes everything so bad, that you can’t even bring up the
Window Task Manager (CTRL-Shift-Escape does not respond). I don’t
know if the networking drivers crap themselves over, and I don’t
really care. My Reset button is now shiny!

I don't know if you are one of the regular Munchkins using a different E-mail
address and I don't typically respond to personal (and often libellous)
attacks, but I'll bite.

I don't have a "problem" as you refer to it. "Insane"? Hardly. "Idiot"? That's
up for you to judge. I can't be bothered to look up the exact definition and
roots of the word "idiot".

I don't "spend every minute of [your] my life posting about Linux." I do many
other things and I spend over 10 hours a week at the health club. Just because
I post in a bursty fashion and do so efficiently doesn't mean that it's all I
ever do. Regarding the "posting about Linux" part, I'm rather indifferent when
it comes to Linux as in "The Linux Foundation" (the development workshop for
IBM, H-P, Intel, etc).

Linux is an almost integral part of the stack which many of us, as engineers or
mere computer /users/ who wish not to be zombies like ~40% of the Windows
users out there, use as an enabler, a tool. By offering GNU/Linux to those
whom we care about, we can reduce (cyber)crime and reduce anxiety. A lot of
stress and trouble, some of which people _take for granted_, can be avoided if
people use a solid computing experience and are not be exploited by companies
that bully, bribe and control politicians as a matter of regular agenda.

The Free software movement is closely related to many other aspects in life
such as literature (knowledge). The Web facilitates transparency and allows us
to bring change, essentially ending an era of 'boiler-room societies'.
WikiLeaks is an excellent and admirable example of this. Moreover, Free
software is a tool for freeing society and leveraging things so that we can
arrive at better solutions more quickly rather than set up barriers. Without
Linux, we probably would be using a more modular kernel called HURD, but
that's beside the point. Linux has become synonymous with Free software, so
for what it's worth, it also happens to symbolise some of the GNU philosophy.
The same obstacles set up in 2-3 decades ago (UNIX) are analogous to Web
censorship, political power that is imposed from behind the scenes and
societies that only pretend to be helping the poor and the less developed
nations.

Of course not....That's because you really have no interest in discussion,
only SPAMMING.....
You don't get paid to discuss, you get paid to SPAM.

What gets me is how ignorant you are to actually admit on digg.com that you
don't have the time to comment about articles.

Shit, you sure have the time to SPAM 1000's of articles per month to every
corener of the Internet, Roy Schestowitz.......

Sorry to pull a "John Bailo" on you, LOL! Every time I read the
crap that DFS spews, it amazes me how stupid it really sounds.
He is just trolling, pulling up whatever his IE search pulls up,
even if it regards an unstable testing version or hardware that
has not yet been proved on the system.

Only time I have had some really odd difficulties with Linux is
when I have installed unreleased software still in testing or
development, had a problematic motherboard chipset (early release
with hardware bugs), forced the wrong driver for the job or had
bona fide hardware problems.

OTOH, Vista has proved its points. I know of no one at work who
wants the OS. All are under the impression it is crapware.
Stick with XP if you want to remain Windows.

Well sorry to dissapoint you, but I'm not in COLA. I'm reading
these posts in the Ubuntu group. The only reason they are going
to COLA is because whomever started the thread had it crossposted
there...and to Vista groups, which I removed because this has
nothing to do with Vista.

I'm NOT a Linux pusher, I still use Windows most of the time
since I'd just installed Linux a few weeks ago, maybe a month+
ago, and still checking out apps and learning Linux. There are
things I like and things I don't like.

Believe what you want to believe. It's painfully obvious that you
are completely anti-Linux, just like some are completely anti-MS,
and have such strong preconceived beliefs that it doesn't really
matter what anyone says about any particular Linux item,
everyone's a liar, and nothing works out-of-the-box.

Why do you continually crosspost to other newsgroups? Are you so
desperate for attention? Is your aim to start flame wars between
newsgroups? usenet used to be a relatively friendly place until
the likes of you started abusing it.

Your immature posting style says so much about your obvious lack

I had posted that which you heavily snipped removing any worthy

alt.os.windows.xp, microsoft.public.windows.vista.general and

Q: Will we terminate an account for trolling?
A: No. It takes two parties to troll, one to post a troll message and one to
reply. Both those that post the initial message and those that reply are
responsible for the trolling. Nearly every time we have investigated a
complaint it is nearly impossible to tell who is trolling who, so we do not
involve ourselves in these situations.

However, if one of our users is in a group primarily to cause disruption
above and beyond what looks to us to be normal for the group, we will warn
our user and term the account if the behavior continues. We support freedom
of speech to disagree, not to just be disruptive.

Of course - it was written by Linux wacks. It actually is amazing how
illiterate some of you freetards are: "hi i just installed gutsy amd64, i
have nvidia graphics and i turned off desktop effects incase that was
causing the crashes. The machine will lock up after randomly. you can use it
for an hour then it will freeze or for 5 mins if that and it will. Desktop
effects on or off makes no difference and it crashes whatever."

Or this classic bit from a cola "advocate" named Ralph: "No, it means that
MS has found ways to incress revinue dispite declining groth of market
share." LMAO!!!

And I estimate you write at an 8th grade level.

Always blame anything and everything but Linux. Unfortunately for you
nutjobs, it's all there in black and white, on the Ubuntu forums, and the
PCLinuxOS forums, and the Suse forums, etc.

> Only time I have had some really odd difficulties with Linux is

What does your sample of one have to do with the millions of other Linux
users that experience data loss and wasted time due to Linux freezing up or
screwing up?

Sample, sample, sample.
One, one, one.

But here are hundreds and hundreds of complaints about Ubuntu locking up:

86 pages of Feisty freezing up
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412125

65 pages of Gutsy freezing up
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587905&highlight=freeze

And they go back a whole year, and they're still happening. And what's so
funny is many of them use Windows as the standard of reliability and
stability against which they measure their bullshit Linux installations.

On a problems per hour of usage basis, Linux slopware absolutely dwarfs
Windows. This you know.

More samples of one. Good dog!

Vista adoption at >14% after one year, and it costs money.
Linux adoption at <1% after one decade, and it's free.

> All are under the impression it is crapware.

They didn't get the memo over at www.newegg.com, where ~70% of the 2400
Vista reviews are Good or Excellent, and the Excellent reviews outnumber the
Good reviews 3 to 2.

Unlike you - a troll with a chip on your shoulder who manually creates
so much shite aka anti-Roy spam that no-one, that's right, NO-ONE
