Criminal Harassment by "Freedom Lovers"

E-mail Print PDF

It's one thing for the denizens of "freedom" to harass me by attempting to intimidate my by interfering with my employment. Having failed to achieve their ends by attacking me directly, Michael Rudra Nath (aka Jason Christopher Hughes) and Brandon Lozza are harassing and attempting to interfere with the employment of completely uninvolved members of my family.

This has become a matter of criminal harassment, and is now being handled by the appropriate authorities here in California.

A Small Change to the Survey

E-mail Print PDF

On the suggestion of some of the respondents, I've added the choice "Other" to the questions on whether one feels that proprietary software is either "illegitimate", "immoral/unethical" or "antisocial".

If you feel the available choices did not reflect your view, you can go back and retake the survey. Your responses will only be counted a single time.

Thanks to all who have participated so far, and please spread the word on this survey. I'd like to get as broad a cross-section of the community as possible. Accordingly, I've mentioned it on the general mailing list for the upcoming FOSDEM conference, the GNOME foundation-list, the FSF-Europe's Legal & Licensing Network list, as well as Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook and, of course, here. I've also provided the information to Simon Bridge, one of the moderators of the FSF's Community Response Team list.

I'd post it on Boycott Novell! but Roy won't allow me to.

Once again, the survey can be taken at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F8DG25Q

The results so far can be viewed at http://bit.ly/74WQBI

A New Survey!

E-mail Print PDF

I'm conducting a new survey, this time on attitudes around FLOSS and proprietary software. I expect people who didn't like the previous survey will find this one somewhat more to their liking. Please pass around the link to the survey below as widely as you can: we got over 1500 respondents to the last survey, which was terrific!

[UPDATE: Survey results can be viewed, in something like real-time, here.]

The FSF Community Response Team Isn't Dead!

E-mail Print PDF

I received the following bulletin last night from Simon Bridge, the manager of the FSF Community Response Team list:

You will have noticed a considerable outage over the last month, this is 
because the list moved from effectively unmoderated to strict moderation
- and *the moderator is locked out*!!!

That moderator is me, and I have asked that posts get automatically
approved until the situation can be resolved.

So, they locked the keys in the car, and they can't retrieve them. I'm looking forward to even more thoughtful commentary there in the future.

FLASH: Roy Attacks His Own Site!

As reported earlier today, Roy Schestowitz has been claiming that his site has been suffering from a denial-of-service attack. Thanks to a vigilant reader, we're able to identify the culprit responsible for this outrage: Roy.

Roy's proven incapable of managing his own web site in the past, but his ongoing claims of being attacked are starting to look a lot siller.

Newsflash

Contrary to the representations of Bruce "What's the problem?" Perens and others, it seems that Richard Stallman is indeed capable of issuing (or perhaps, being made to issue) an apology!

More details...
