Re: Gnote 0.3.1

Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:
> ____/ Miguel de Icaza on Tuesday 12 May 2009 04:22 : \____

>> There is no binary answer

However, there is such a thing as an answer weighted heavily towards one
conclusion rather than another, such as whether someone may be correctly
defined as "evil" because his motives are *predominately* malevolent. It
doesn't require a 100% commitment to doing wrong, to be unequivocally on
the wrong side, as you, and the gangsters in Redmond with whom you're so
enamoured, quite adequately demonstrate.

>> Roy's mind is more like a dirty puddle

It's not the puddle that's dirty, it's your reflection in it.

> What do you think about the TomTom case? You have never addressed

He carefully avoids consideration of Microsoft's crimes, i.e. the truth.
To him, the ugliness behind Microsoft's business is just an entertaining
fiction, like that movie - Glengarry Glen Ross - it's all just bravado.

Right Miguel?

Perhaps he would care to explain why the US DOJ and the European
Commission pursued (and continue to pursue) Microsoft for nothing more
than harmless bravado.

Actually no, he probably wouldn't care to explain that at all, because
to do so would be to admit that he'd aligned himself with corporate
gangsters.

It's much easier for him to put on a cheesy smile, talk about Microsoft
in platitudes, and denounce anyone who dares speak the truth about his
gangster heroes, as narrow-minded "binary" or "black and white" thinkers.

When a judge condemns a criminal, is he being narrow minded, according
to de Icaza's lax principles, I wonder? Is it "black and white" thinking
to dissent against those who do wrong? Apparently so, according to our
gangster-loving friend.

> Do you think Microsoft wants GNOME (and by extension GNU/Linux) to
> succeed?

The first half of that sentence is probably correct, and indeed may
already be true, in the Intellectual Monopoly sense, at least. I'm sure
that's one of Sweaty Ballmer's many slimy aspirations, anyway, and it
certainly fits the Vole's "embrace, extend, extinguish" MO that we've
all come to know and despise so well ... all with the hot and eager help
of our dear friend de Icaza, of course.
