STR EXCLUSIVE: Interview with a former Linux Hoster ***
May, 19th 2004, Jim was just about to switch off the computer and go home when he heard violent knocking against the company’s backdoor. Who could that be? It’s after 10pm already. In anticipation of what was about to happen he was numb with fear and in less than a minute he had a bunch of scary looking men in black leather jackets in front of his desk. Their faces were ugly and marked with scars and full of hate and contempt. Of of them was dressed in a black suit and was wearing a black tie. His request was odd but his determination of getting his will was frightening.
He read the STR articles about Linux and contacted us to tell his revealing story.
**********************
Shelley: Jim, thank you very much for coming up here to Iowa City for this interview. Do you still live in California?
Jim: No, I moved to Atlanta, my and my family’s life was not safe in California. I came to you because nobody else in the media want’s to touch this story. Everybody is afraid.
Shelley: Please tell us what happened that day in May 2004.
Jim: That Wednesday night my company was raided by the Russian Mafia. They didn’t steal anything. They wanted something different. This might surprise the readers of your blog. They wanted me to use Linux for my hosting services exclusively.
Shelley: Can you explain that?
Jim: I started my company on Christmas 2003. I used Windows Server 2003 on all my servers. I remember saying to William - that is the man I share my life with …
Shelley: Let me state for the records that I think homosexuality is a sin, but please go on.
Jim: Well, I disagree with you but that is not important now. Anyway, I remember telling him: “Why do all the hosting company’s use Linux only?”. It seemed very strange to me. I looked around and found that at least 90% of all hosting providers are offering Linux and only about 10% offer Windows Hosting as additional option. I actually thought I might have found a way of making money because I knew that people want Windows hosting and barely anybody is offering it. I think most, but not all serious system administrations agree with me when I say that Windows Hosting is far superior to Linux hosting. Linux doesn’t offer the possibility to run .NET or ASP applications. Another major reason for Windows hosting is the Microsoft constantly provides security updates. Let’s not fool ourselves: Both systems have security holes, but if a security hole in Linux is found you can only hope that some Linux programmer has time to fix it, maybe he might have a date or is high on drugs, in that case the security hole does not get fixed, because Linux is free so the Linux-user can not demand the security patches, the whole software is written by programmers in their spare time. With Microsoft Windows on the other hand you have people monitoring for security holes 24/7. The response time is amazing. Sometimes a security issue get’s public and even before the AP get’s the story out the security patch is already installed on most servers. But I don’t want to bore you with technical details.
Up to the day the Russian Mafia visited me, I was happily offering Windows Hosting and I was making very good money with it.
Shelley: Let me throw out this question, because I am not an expert by any means when it comes to internet stuff..
Jim: That is fine, go ahead.
Shelley: “Hosting company” means that private citizens sign up to get their web site hosted?
Jim: Yes sure. That’s it. But we did not only host private web sites. We already had contracts with a couple of major companies in our area. Windows hosting is especially attractive for serious professional users with high workload and applications that demand the highest stability.
Shelley: What did the Russian Mafia tell you?
Jim: They told me and I quote: “We found out that you refuse to use our software!” I thought for a brief moment this might be a stupid joke, but this guy was dead serious. He saw a slight flicker of a smile on my face. He got his knife out. He cut my hand. It hurt like hell. He screamed: “Do you think this is funny you fucking American? You will use Linux on your servers or you’ll die.” I said yes immediately. I was afraid to lose my life. After a minute after the guy put his knife away I found a little of my courage and dared to ask why he want’s me to use Linux and why he cares what I have on my servers. He just said with a stone cold face: “Let’s just say I like people to use our product.” And then he left.
Shelley: What did you do.
Jim: I installed Linux. I closed the company down for a month. I cancelled all the hosting accounts and installed Linux. A month later I opened up again with all Linux hosting.
Shelley: You just gave up? You didn’t call the police?
Jim: You would not ask me this if you know a little something about the Russian Mafia, Shelley. They are stone cold killers. They don’t hesitate to torture and kill you whenever they feel it would help them get their way.
They don?t hesitate to torture and kill you whenever they feel it would help them get their way”
Shelley: What happened then?
Jim: I am happy to say that I only saw those guys once more. One months after their first visit they came again. This time during the day. Of of them, a kind of middle eastern looking fella, was doing something with my servers. I think he checked my Linux versions.
In the coming month I did some extensive research. I was never a fan of Linux and did not know much about it, but I found some very alarming information. I read all Tristan’s articles about Linux. They are very entertaining if not always completely accurate. Basically he is correct, though: All Linux versions have huge security holes which can not be closed. They are all open in one and one direction.
Shelley: Please explain.
Jim: The Linux kernel included secret ports in stealth mode, they are always open. Most network administrators don’t even know they exist, but the Russian Mafia does. The most dangerous ports are 2727 and 8719. Because Linux does not have the TCP/IP security system Windows has, these ports are open for everybody who knows them.
Shelley: Sorry, I don’t understand.
Jim: It’s very simple actually. Imagine a house that has a secret hidden door. The owner of the house does not even know it’s there but it is and the Russian Mafia has the key. They can come in whenever they like without you knowing about it.
Shelley: That is awful. What are the consequences?
Jim: The Russian Mafia can look into every, and I mean every Linux web hosting account. They are not very interested to see what vacation pictures Joe and Sally American have on their hosting account but of course they are very interested to know what companies have on their servers. You have to understand: Today most companies have large amounts of confidential data on their hosting servers. That can be customer data files or in some cases even blueprints and plans of future developments. The Russian Mafia steals those and sells them to the highest bidder or uses them in Russia to make profit. This is a thread to the homeland of enormous proportions. It could ultimately bring the downfall of the American economy.
Shelley: What can we do about it?
Jim: Keep telling the truth. Linux is more popular then ever for two reasons. First: It is free. Americans have to learn that nothing is really free and you certainly have to pay an enormous price for Linux by giving all your personal data to the Russians. Second: The opinions of so called ‘Experts’ is highly influenced by the Russian Mafia. Everybody that publicly speaks out against Linux will be punished badly. They will usually kidnap a child or the wife or a girlfriend, if this doesn’t work they might wipe out the complete family. They don’t have any respect for life. They are cold blooded killers, mostly ex-military.
I also noticed another kind of scam: Because they have access to Linux hosting accounts they sometimes put child pornography on the server and tell the owner of the account that they can put more child porn there anytime and then they demand large sums of money. If the owner of the account refuses to pay, they upload child porn on the server and notify the FBI. The owner if the account is arrested immediately of course and will never be able to proove his innocence. They web hosting company is helpless in such cases because they have given up any control of the accounts by using Linux.
Shelley: I am shocked by what is going on in the web hosting business.
Jim: It’s very bad. The whole industry is in the ice cold grip of the Russians. They lost the cold war but it’s looks like they are gonna win the cyber war. Most people will never know about it.
We at STR demand the death sentence for this criminal.
Shelley: What happened to your company?
Jim: I closed the company, changed my name and moved away. I could not handle the thought of being complicit in this dirty game.
I will be leaving America shortly. For me it is not safe here. The Russians have to many connections. They will find me sooner or later. I am worried about you, Shelley. I want you to bring out this interview on your web site but I fear for you life.
Shelley: Don’t worry about me, Jim. I am not scared. If they kill me it’s because God lets them and that only happens if God wants me up in Heaven. One last question: You mentioned you have a male life partner but you also mentioned you left California with your family. Are you talking about your parents or siblings?
Jim: I was waiting for this (chuckle). No, me and my partner are the proud parents of an adopted child. We are a happy family.
Shelley: Well, I better don’t comment on that, but I respect you for speaking out and wish you and your family a long and happy life. Is there something else you would like to say?
Jim: Yes. This goes to all American patriots: You don’t know how dangerous Linux is, but I do. Please don’t use it. You are literally giving the Russians the key to your house. Nothing if free in todays society. Don’t fool yourself by thinking you could get a complete operating system for free with no strings attached. It’s not gonna happen. Good luck America, I am gone.

Thanks for reading,
Shelley The Republican

* The names have been changed to protect the victims.
Shelley, thank you once again for bringing this important matter to the American people. The mainstream IT press is under the thumb of the same foreign interests who control Linux. They allways claim that there is no credible evidence of the harm that Linux is causing, however this is only because they systematically ignore accurate 1st hand reports like the one you just presented to us.
I have worked in IT all my life. I have qualifications including Certified Microsoft Engineer and before I retired I was a microsoft MVP (Most Valued Professional), which means I’m pretty much an expert at all kinds of business computing. In my long career I’ve seen all too many incidents of foreign manipulation. There is an evil atheist conspiracy whose objectives include de-stabilizing the American economy., Getting America hooked of foreign software hand-outs is just the start of their plan. They will not stop until they have replaced our Christian government with an atheist / islamofascist junta.
Some will dismiss this as a wild conspiracy theory, but in light of the hard facts you have presented above, I thing anybody who takes a fair and balanced view of the issue will be forced to conclude that Linux thing is bad news.
When a client asks me about Linux, I remind them how similar the Linux proposition is to that of a drug dealer: The first hit is allways free, but once you are addicted it certainly isnt. People should avoid Linux for the same reason they should avoid illegal substances and the russian mobsters who sell them.
Indeed, it is the purpose of Linux to destroy the democratic world! We must exterminate the krypto-marxistic so-called open source software before it exterminates us! Everybody knows that Linus Torvalds is an malicioust russian maffia boss and that everytime you boot Linux dies a kitten. It is horrible to read such an article… :(
Oh Shelley, once again I am proud of you and proud that we don’t support the Russian mafia and their dirty deeds in using Linux hosting.
I hope this article will open the eyes of people around the globe to throw away this filthy Linux and use Windows which is only supported by God and the American people and not by Russian, Chinese or whatever (mafia) gangsters.
And I also hope that hosters around the globe will become allies and try to fight these bastards so that more and more websites can be hosted on Windows, just like our page.
Thanks again for opening our eyes and leading us to fight the war against (any kind of) terror.

lame .. not funny @ all
meep,
this article is not supposed to be “funny”. There is nothing funny about it..
Shelley Goodman
ya .. sure .. you are right =)
a slightly more less way of linux would be more good. most of the new humans are too obvious correct:)
Linux startup time: 3 minutes
Windows XP (C) startup time: 15 seconds
I mean this is the prove the the products from the likeable world market leader from Redmond are far superior than commielinux.
The fun thing is that all your sources are speaking about “russian hackers” and not a single one mention physical extortion, only web-based threats.
Oh and, if you know what ports are dangerous, close them or use a firewall. No one care if your doors are open when you have a 4-meter-tall fence and a dozen of attack dogs in your garden …
Godless Frech,
read the article again.
I think breaking into the office and cutting somebody with a knife and threatening to kill him is what you call “physical extortion”.
Really, you have to do better than this.
Shelley Goodman
Swip,
thanks for the support. You are a great American!
Shelley G.
Linux startup time: 3 minutes
Windows XP (C) startup time: 15 seconds
Yes, this is yet another reason why Linux is not yet ready for the desktop. Can you imagine waiting three minutes every time you have to restart your computer (e.g. because you have updated some software). It’s completely unreasonable.
Tristan
hey shelley .. the re-edit of my post is also not funny =) but doesnt matter .. the idea of the site is nice and i guess you have a fulltime job beside it and its not easy to be funny all the time. the persiflage works fine when stumble upon the page .. but if you follow it for a while its to obvious as i said. would be interesting what kind of woman/man you are. artstudent? bored journalist?
congrats to the won elections :)
Thank you Shelley!
It is also crazy that after plugging in a network cable you have to restart your linuxcomputer before you can surf the internet. Probably linux does not use TCP/IP protocol, which is a great invention by Bill Gates.
Oh Linux is supported by russian mafia, well who do you think invited Windows, I tell, it was the Devil himself. So it’s all about choosing the lesser evil.
I like to read your articles, because they make me laugh everytime, because now I can see how stupid man can be.
Your articles is somewhere between patriocism and absolute stupidity and xenophoby. USA will be hated by other countries, because of people like you…
BUT I would like to write, that I think your whole page is a fake and you’re just joking, because nobody can be such an ignorant…
and for Tristan with WINXP installed -> Your computer needs restart? WOW, rolling on the floor laughing
Shelley - this story is of no value whatsoever as its an interview with… a homosexual! What are you going to do next? Interview an atheist? That’s freakin’ dangerous - you’re putting our lives on stake! I mean, you might be interviewing a colored-skin ex-muslim atheistic Linux using Democrat homosexual, who’ll infest you with his subliminal messages and next thing you know is you’ll die of a quick spreading cancer and he’ll be laughing at your funeral!!! Watch out!!!!!!
Haha this story is another supped article from you Shelly. The Russian mafias do not use the computers they use only a guns. Russian guns ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¨ Kalashnikov.
HAHAHAHA
If this man was meeting the Russian mafia, he isn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t being a live. The Russian mafia didn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t live a witness to a crime;

Actually, let me remind you about, an article that I tried to find to put it here, but I was unable to (but with sometime using google, I’m sure ANYONE can find it, was in a newspaper) that explains that Windows have security holes for NSA…so…maybe they are better than Russian Maffia or chinese hackers but…actually is not…Don’t forget that United States take the best hackers in the world and make them to work for NSA or FBI or CIA…And is as scary a break hole for russians than for United States government…If you want to be safe, you should not have a security hole to NO ONE…Remember PGP? the Pretty Good Privacy program? well, you know why it was forbidden by the US government? because SO GOOD that don’t even them can enter to see thoose files…so they just tell the PGP people “don?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•t”.
This is a good way to live? This is freedom?
Maybe everyone here will disagree…but…this is a way to express myself and I’m doing it, as same as I don’t trust in this interview…
You think your Microsoft computer is ok because they give security updates?
What about the OFFICIAL PRESENTATION of Microsoft Windows on TV and the computer freeze?
And is not that bad business if the government has backdoors in windows…basically because most of the 80% of the world use it…so it’s a very good way to find out EVERYTHING that’s happening in EVERYONE’s computer.
15 seconds startup for XP? man, I want to know what kind of machines you use, even with the latest hardware I never saw a PC booting under a minute (except in the case of a brand-new pc with no software other than the OS). And well, I admit that linux takes time to boot too, but what is three minutes? (my computer is running it’s fifteenth day without reboot, and the softwares are updated all right, thank you. I’m using windows XP, by the way)
15 secs? Cool.. Could you please show me how to do so?
However, I can understand that you need to create a fast-booting system when the user has to do so every 30 minutes ;)
Russian mafia controls open ports?! Sorry, I cannot recover from laughing! You still think that there’s only “the linux”, the one? Gosh, you must love the first slogan of INGSOC.. :D
“15 seconds startup for XP? man, I want to know what kind of machines you use, even with the latest hardware I never saw a PC booting under a minute”
That is because of all the porn on your computer that slows it down. If you use a clean system free of all homosexual trash than it takes only 15 seconds to start up. But why do I tell this a Frenchman? Its like casting pearls before swine!
Using Windows is risky.
There are many reasons for me to say that, but I’ll tel you the most important :
1 - It rots the brain. Have you ever wondered what are these background processes that you don’t know what are for ? I am talkin’ about THEM ! Yeah ! These are special processes, that make your PC to spread emissions of sub-normal signals - audio and video - while you are working. These signals can make you kill your wife or children- it depends only on What Bill Wants ..
And as the time passes, as many of these eissions you absorb, your brain rots. That’s not a joke.
2 - Windows makes us Users, consumers, It does not like Creators. Do you underestimate yourselves so much that you leave s.one else to decide Will You Create or Not ? Windows kills every little sign of curiosity - that’s because they pay Windows to make us fools. To make us use it every day and stop thinking.
3. Windows is a threat for your security !
How can you trust your credit card numbers to an OS that collects them along with the passwords and sends them .. to the evil catalogue. And some day everyone will be slaves to the ADMINISTRATORS ot MS!
They want to enslave us !
Beware !
you do know what FUD ist? actually i had quite a laugh :)
Dear Shelley and Tristan, I am sad to inform you that the Russian Mafia has already infiltrated the Operation System business. They have set up a website called whatwouldjesusdownload.com where they link to a variant of Linux called “Ubuntu Christian Edition”. I looked up the meaning for “Ubuntu” and it means “humanity to others”. Obviously a hoax since only a freedom hating man would give software away for free. Please don’t be fooled by this work of Satan becasuse the real intention to this is of course to infect our computers with dirty commie code.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Per from commie Sweden :(

Please, if Linux is so bad, could you explain why Windows made a deal with Linux ?
http://news.com.com/Microsoft+makes+Linux+pact+with+Novell/2100-1016_3-6132119.html?tag=nl
Do you really think Steve Ballmer was threatened by the Russian Mafia ?
Maybe MS is too desperate …
Satan has somehow deleted my comment, so again:
“15 seconds startup for XP? man, I want to know what kind of machines you use, even with the latest hardware I never saw a PC booting under a minute ”
I think you should delete all homosexual porn on your computer, than it would be faster!
@Per: Yeah it is really hard for us European Neo-American Christians here in Europe! We have to fight much harder for the right to carry a gun and to hate gay sissies than real Americans.
HEY TRISTAN!!!
Please upload a video of your PC, booting in 15 seconds!
I will never make fun of you in public^^
While this, i keep going
and Jupiman, you can rofl about the whole article if you want^^

It is also crazy that after plugging in a network cable you have to restart your linuxcomputer before you can surf the internet. Probably linux does not use TCP/IP protocol, which is a great invention by Bill Gates.
Actually, the newest version of Linux comes with a setup program that can install a clone of Microsoft’s TCP/IP but only if your computer has a NE1000 or NE2000 network card. I understand that these very obsolete cards are somewhat hard to obtain these days.
It’s amazing how quickly these russian hackers can catch up with more advanced American technology.
Get a clue STF&co … and while you are at it, get a life …
Tristan: MPD can be cured to an extent, so Jim won’t bother you … or at least not that often …
sorry for the typo: STR&co
NSA = Russian hackers ?
Look this web page : http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/

Tristan, your ignorance is nothing short of unspeakable. I really wonder if the MCE is so easily to be obtained or you cheated or a miracle happened. Or, since you are retired now, it may be that neurovascular dementia is rearing its ugly head in your case.
MOUARF ARF ARF ARF ARF !!
You are so funny when you try to talk about computers and OSs.
That is too complex for you.
Since “Jim” studied Linux to see that ports were kept open, i could probably tell me in wich source file this is codded ?
About the joke on TCP/IP (invented by bill gates and not available on linux), you already did this one.
The same goes for presenting tristan as an expert.
I’m sure you can find new jokes ! It would be funnier !
Nevertheless, the russian mafia forcing peaple to use linux, this is quite a funny one. And the idea of telling “Jim” leave the USA is a good way to avoid questions. You can now just say “cannot give more informations, Jim leaved”.
The story should tell whether he went to France or to Germany.
Well I hope that when the democrats win the election in 2008, morons like yourselves will be put in a nice cell in guantanamo…
Come on! even my dog knows more about OS’es than you
first, the name of the russin is Dmitry Skylarov.
if you want to know real facts about him enter his name in google, or look at wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Skylarov
second: stop calling tcp/ip a security program….
“With Microsoft Windows on the other hand you have people monitoring for security holes 24/7. The response time is amazing. Sometimes a security issue get?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s public and even before the AP get?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s the story out the security patch is already installed on most servers. But I don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t want to bore you with technical details.”
Oooh… What a beautiful lie…
Most of the time, the Microsoft patches are released on the first Tuesday of the month, called the Patch Tuesday. This policy was set to allow the firms to schedule the updates. If you really worked in IT, you should have known that…
ah, only btw, you cant install a linux server without knowledge about linux.
linux isnt a point & click adventure as windows is, you need well-founded knowledge for this.
What a great article. I thank jesus that there are some real patriots still out there in these dark days, willing to protect America even if America has handed itself over to godless democRAT muslim lovers.
thank you!
And God Bless America!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcp/ip
Summary: Invented in the early 70’s by Robert E. Kahn and Vinton Cerf for DARPA. DARPA contracted with BBN Technologies, Stanford University, and the University College London to develop operational versions of the protocol. Four versions were developed: TCP v1, TCP v2, a split into TCP v3 and IP v3 in the spring of 1978, and then stability with TCP/IP v4 ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?É¬Æ the standard protocol still in use on the Internet today.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD
Summary: In addition, the permissive nature of the BSD license has allowed many other operating systems, both free and proprietary, to incorporate BSD code. For example, Microsoft Windows has used BSD-derived code in its implementation of TCP/IP and bundles recompiled versions of BSD’s command line networking tools with its current releases.

and some corrections to your , lets call it, “article”
port 8719 is a port that is used by a backdoor program called Backdoor.WinShell.50. It is a server program that allows unauthorized access to an infected computer. The Backdoor will listen on port 8719….

IT fan, I’m in IT too - practical and research areas… Sure, I’m European and I’m using Linux, and I feel free, because I can modify in it whatever I want!
Maybe Microsoft’s patches are released every first Tuesday of the month - I don’t know and I really don’t care. Im working only with UNIX like operating systems like Linux and xBSD. However Linux’s kernel patches are normally released in the 6 hours that follow the discovery of a bug or security security hole… If you really were in IT, you should know it…
Linux is patched on a daily basis as opposed to the bi-weekly basis that Windows is patched on. Plus Windows has many security holes that nobody knows about except hackers who are out to exploit those holes to make a profit, Microsoft MAY know about them, but they never tell us. With Linux all those holes are exposed and patched quickly, the issues is installing the patch quickly, Ubuntu and SuSE both have excellent patch systems that allow for this. The Russian mafia stuff is FUD, if there were such backdoors EVERYONE would know because there are enough americans who understand and look at the code who would immediately cry foul. If I were going to hack some hosts I would want them running Windows since all it would take is a few hours of SoftICE to uncover 10-20 unknown security holes in the software to exploit.
The main reason everyone uses Linux is that you don’t have to pay more and more money based on the number of users you have at incriments of $300. If I were going to PAY at all I would use XSERVE since it has unlimited CALS and supports far more technologies than server 2003.
I prefer Linux because it boots so fast. It doesn’t get to the login screen as fast as windows but Linux does get to a usable desktop before windows does.
Wow! I was realize that “hardcore” meant re-love. If there was two doubt about this usa on this site, it’s kisses now.
Thank you for loving the “little” of America look like good job.

Bob_Robertson,
what in the hell are you talking about???
Are you drunk?
Shelley Goodman
I always say that you don’t understand what is a pc…I mean…Jim, you say you have a company, but you don’t know what is TCP/IP? If you know what is TCP/IP you don’t write so stupid things
let’s continue…you don’t go to the police and you write here? it is nonsense…I mean, if they are so dangerous, you have to hide yourself forever and writing here is most unsafe thing you can do…as you can remember, this site is hosted in a Linux system, if they want they can control what you write here and who writes here…Jim or whoever you are, you are a LIER, nothing more.
Oh, please give me the windows system that boot in 15 sec…mine needs almost 5 minutes, only 3 to linux, how do you explain this?
you say that linux is dangerous because everyone can write the code: there are so many versions of linux for which you pay, but you have all the sources, if you are a developer you’ll know how important it is…so you aren’t nothing more than a lier
bye bye
I hope that God can forgive all your lies!!!
More wisdom from STR. Worth a comment. Tristan, I have offered you before the chance to come and be guest lecturer in my University. I think I even offer to pay your airfare, on the condition that I can film the event. I am a professor of IT and would love to learn from your great genius. My students have been following your antics and would be overjoyed to meet you. Unlike Americans, they are all bilingual, so no need for you to learn another language. Do come, we love to hear your views on Linux, truly.
Dear Valentina, Probably you do not use a computer very often and it takes you 4:45 minutes to find to ON button on your Windows XP system. That’s why you mean it takes 5 minutes to start windows XP, but in fact (as you can compute yourself), it takes only 15 seconds. So it is a USER problem (as I said you are too stupid (as all linux users) to find the ON button), and not a Windows XP problem.
@ Valentina :
In my opinion, Jim never existed : this is simply a fairy tals (maybe more a sorceress tale build to scare ignorants … lets call it FUD tale)
hasnt anyone one here heard of not feading the troll
stop feeding those trolls and they will die
hasnt anyone one here heard of not feading the troll stop feeding those trolls and they will die
Thank you Greycell - the STR.com site was created as a safe forum for discussion of conservative and family-oriented issues. We have been invaded by a horde of liberal trolls who find nothing more amusing than trashing our most cherished values and traditions, insulting God and the institution upon which America is based: The Family. I only wish the liberal trolls would go away and leave us to our quiet, sober contemplation.
Tristan
tux there are only two ways:
1. Jim lives and he is stupid not calling police, fbi or whatever
2. like you say Jim doesn’t not exist.
I can’t decide, in both cases here all are liers!!!
Swim…being called stupid by a moron is a compliment!! thank you!!!
Don’t you think that maybe I have more brain than you?
If I am stupid, how can I decript linux commands??? oh oh…maybe I have neural cells still alive…let’s say the truth, Windows is good only for stupids that want to use a computer without knowing anything about computer, about it is made, about it works…unless you use your computer only to play FREE CELL, you must have almost an antivirus, a firewall, a spysystem…tell me those systems are loaded when you turn on your pc, they needs time to be loaded, don’t you think? don’t tell me that you don’t use them? now I understand because your system crash every minute…ah, remember, I suppose that you use your computer only to play FREE CELL, let me think…you use windows, so you have office, then media player, then…I don’t know, drivers for printers? cameras? then? the fact is that if you really know how a computer works, you should know that all those systems are loaded with your os. in linux they are loaded only when they are necessary, so please, reflect before writing…oh, excuse me, I didn’t remember that windows does all for you, you have forgotten how to use your brain!!!
bye bye
greycell : let’s consider it as a scientific experiment : Einstein said “two things are infinite : the univers and human stupidity. For the univers, I am not yet sure”.
If a limit to the str team stupidity is found, then, I may doubt about the truthfulness of this sentence.
Nevertheless, for the moment, Einstein seems to be right …

This time, you’ve gone beyond stupidity. I don’t know why you are so against taking drugs, because you are clearly on a diet of hallucinogens.
Shelley,
thanks once more for another well-researched, valuable piece of information. I’m glad you didn’t hesitate to publish the story, even though it—no doubt—might potentially put you at risk. After all, it’s the Russian mafia we’re dealing with here.
For some reason, all Linux users I have encountered so far, seemed to feel the urge to talk their fellow human beings into using that inferior product. Why is that? And why won’t they stop even after one made it clear that he’s not interested? A little generalized, this behavior is exactly what liberal telemarketers display. You can tell them: “Not interested!” But they would pretend to be deaf, and just keep on bothering you.
Of course, as a good American, I’m a Windows user. Although I’m aware of the fact that Apple is also an American corporation, it’s a double no no for me. I simply don’t buy my computers from a company that uses its profit to sponsor hippie festivals. Sure enough, though, Linux protagonists never stop trying.
What happened? Well. About 18 months back, I received an email from an unknown sender. I count myself lucky to usually not get spam mails from China, Switzerland, or other Third World countries, so I got suspicious. Researching where the email came from, I found out that it came straight from Russia (indicated by the “.ru” in the domain name—which, by the way, was introduced in Russia after paid Russian hackers got access to the ICANN servers; Russia was of course never allowed to have its own top-level domain). The message was a threat. It said they would break into my computer and erase everything, and the only way to prevent that from happening was, to use Linux!
It was signed with Cyrillic letters.
On the following day, after I came back from a hard day’s work, I turned on my computer, but it would lock up at the Windows start up screen! The only reasonable explanation is, of course, that those bastards broke into my system while I was gone, or sound asleep.
I said “No!” to Linux that day. After contacting my lawyer, I sent an email back, letting them know I would not give in to them. Never have they threatened me again. So I still say “No!” to Linux.
God bless you, Shelley!
Sincerely,
Graham J Clark
@Pavel
I totally agree with you. And I knew that…
You should read my message again. The first part is a quote from the article. The second part shows that the first part is bullshit.
If the russian mafia is sooooooo powerful why is Bill Gates still alive?
Linux is the Mark of the Beast!
Jesus For Windows
Why exactly did you have to “state for the record” that homosexuality is a sin?
Tom,
You have to let gays know that they will be going to hell.
We at ShelleyTheRepublican.com oppose anal sex, especially if it is followed by oral sex and that is exactly what gays do all the time.
Kind regards,
Shelley M. Goodman
God bless your soul, Graham J Clark! Yeah, say NO! to Linux as you say no to marjuana! I just found a little detail in your nice text: You probably confused Sweden with Switzerland. Sweden is a poor little country in the cold north of Europe, bankrupted by greedy socialists during the last 50 years. They are also very lazy, but somehow they figured out (together with Russian hackers) how to send an email. Now instead of going to school, their kids are forced to write spam mails 15 hours a day.
On the other side, Switzerland is a nice Americanized country in the middle of Europe. As I stated before: We are the Americans of Europe!
I count myself lucky to usually not get spam mails from China, Switzerland, or other Third World countries Those two aren’t third world countries, neither is Sweden. Maybe you were thinking about Swatziland, but it’s no problem. I can understand that geographicial knowledge is hard to gain by a US-Citizen.
Researching where the email came from, I found out that it came straight from Russia (indicated by the ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?.ru?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? in the domain name?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬÆwhich, by the way, was introduced in Russia after paid Russian hackers got access to the ICANN servers; Russia was of course never allowed to have its own top-level domain).
I guess you’re not really into IT, since you judge a sender by its domain. But however, EVERY country in the world is supposed to have its own TLD. Even you have one (.us) and the Vatican.
Swip, Du fasch mi langsam afa n??Ǭßrve! Get out of here and fly over the Atlantic, but stop pretending the Swiss people were Americans or shit like that. And: did you know that Sweden has even the better School, Wellfare etc. system that you are allowed to enjoy?
Cheers from Switzerland.. The democratic one without support for GWB..
I can’t help laughing.
“Probably linux does not use TCP/IP protocol, which is a great invention by Bill Gates.”
Guy, if you don’t know anything about what you are saying you should better shut up. Have you ever read a RFC? (do you know what is a RFC?). Do you even know what the word protocol means? Can you explain how Internet was born and works (and the answer ‘because God’s almighty’ isn’t correct)? If you have no knowledge of IT don’t talk nonsense.
Most of the web servers are linux or unix based (even the servers where major corporations or newspapers, and goverments host ther websites). And the web is so big. I think that Russian mafia is not such powerful to get the whole world doing what they want.
Putos American, already stays with the excrement of always, k if Windows is better k linux… A MIERDAAAAA! Windows so little takes in iniciaros by k teneis to you of adornment. Ke really we used a computer takes an egg to us in initiating, mainly if you have Windows. Instead of having it of paperweight, programming something or modelra some thing in 3D. Already vereis as the things change estupidos Americans (without offending the k they defend linux:P)
So if we are not americans, why is Switzerland the official representative of the USA in Cuba and Iran? Why do we call us officially “Sister Republics”? http://www.efd.admin.ch/00468/index.html?lang=de&msg-id=166
Why do we like guns as much as real Americans?
Anyways, 76% of all Swiss people support George W. Bush. Marc, stop lying! And stop insulting me in this ridiculous Germanic dialect!
It’s because linux uses ipv6 which is more advanced than the tcp/ip(ipv4 ) that used in linux
Stupidity is definitely endless.
dear shelley,
you should stop writing this crap, or people will start to belive this bullshit. I have always waited weeks before every single windows critical bug patch was released. btw tcp/ip was invented loooong before even ms-dos was created

Acctualy i think you are gay and are going to hell (if there is a hell, that is)…
I live in france, sorry for my bad english.
I don’t agree with Shelly on all points but linux sucks.
If you want to use an usb mouse on linux you have to find a driver first, otherwise it want work. If you want to connect mouse you have to restart the computer. If you disconnect the usb mouse the computer probably crashes. It’s a pain in the ass as they say.
Down with linux. It’s useless.
i would like to reply to ComputeXP, that it’s not Linux’s fault if he doesn’t recognize the mouse, it’s the mouse company thath don’t release drivers for linux, besides, PS2 mouses exists….sorry for the bad english but i’m italian
I am not an expert by any means but for a normal basic usb mouse you normally don’t have to install a driver.. With windows XP you just plug in any mouse and it works. That is the way it’s supposed to be.
Swip,
OK,
