I've been extremely busy with finals over the last week and a half so I haven't really been thinking about blogging anything. There's been alot of news happening and I wanted to write about it, however, I'm also leaving for Las Vegas tomarrow for a RHCE course and I will be comming back with my RHCE! We'll see how everything goes, and I will probably have some time over the next week to blog some things atleast.
So, I'm still getting hit with comment spam... Its horrible. Spammers are the most vile creatures on earth. Seems they'll stop at nothing to sell their soul. Well, I am vowing to put a stop to such acts. I'm am going to attack them where its going to hurt them the most. Their income. From this day forth, I will report any such violaters to the ISP's in which they recieve their internet access... best of all, I will not stop contacting that ISP untill I get a responce that says said spammers account has been terminated. I'm am sick and tired of it. I will be posting how-to's for this process as I work through it. I encourage everyone else with comment spam to do the same. I will be passing said howto around to everyone else that has a problem with comment spam, and believe me, I will search for these users with the same problem as I, and help to educate them. Together, we can stop the spread of this most vile disease that is spammers.
I'm sorry, but I'm laughing about this one... I mean this is like the age old "Pot calling the kettle black". I mean... The purpose of this is nothing more than to trump their own horn. Make people more optimistic about their situation in China. After all, this is the only source Microsoft has left to grow into... (Along with India... but they've fought that battle already... and lost) The article is up on zdnet.co.uk. Funny stuff I tell ya. I laughed through the whole article.
Heres a couple quotes... I think they speak for themselves:
"I think Linux in China really has an issue with their business model," said Tim Chen, the chief executive of Microsoft China, in an interview with The Seattle Times this week. "The Chinese [Linux] companies, are not making money," he said.
Interesting... really? The chineese government doesn't think so... in fact, they rather like the fact that the money they spend on Linux in China, *stays* in China. The also don't like enabling foreign powers to control how they use software, which is why they regulated the use of foreign software.
Chen also claimed that the growth rate of Windows on the server was faster than that of the open source operating system and that young people in China "really adore" Bill Gates, the founder and president of Microsoft.
.... I'm speachless... What the crap is this? I know quite a few Microsoft geeks, and I couldn't say any of them "really adore" Bill Gates...
Refering to the latest group of Microsoft defectee's:
"Actually that's exciting. We're being viewed as the company that has the best talent in China," said Chen.
Interesting point of view... However I would have phrased it more like "We're being viewed as the company that *had* the best talent in China". But whatever helps you sleep at night.
Anyway, I thought it was so funny I had to share.
I missed my 1 year anniverserary of blogging! Wow time flies... However, its a good thing it was only my blogging anniverserary.... Missing another anniverserary would have me in the dog house for a very long time. :) Anyway March of 2004 was my first post! Amazing hope to keep 'em comming... one of these days I'll go back and read through everything I've written...
In a recent unsealing of a court document in the Microsoft vs. Google lawsuit(I mean who isn't in a law suite against microsoft?), over the hiring of Kai-Fu Lee. In a swarn statement made by Mark Lucovsky, Ballmer is being accused of threatening employees not to leave for Google. Heres the quote:
"At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office," Lucovosky recounted, adding that Ballmer then launched into a tirade about Google CEO Eric Schmidt. "I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Google."
"Mark Lucovsky's account of our conversation last November is a gross exaggeration of what actually took place," Ballmer said. "Mark's decision to leave was disappointing and I urged him strongly to change his mind. But his characterization of that meeting is not accurate."
In the wake of Katrina, something that will be remembered for many years to come. I've been doing a bit of reading. Doc Searls wrote on the effectiveness of the "World Live Web". How Blogs, Instant Messages, Forums and the like are changing the world as we know it. Everything becomes a bit more real when you read personal accounts like This one(Warning, it is somewhat graphic and may be upsetting to you). CNN and the likes of other news media seem to skip all of the real things that happen under these situations. Leaves one to only hope for the best and pray for God to be with these people in their time of need.
A man is but a product of his thoughts; what he thinks, that he becomes.
