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 …
THANKKN YOU GREAT SITE ALWAYS READU SHELLEYTHERPUBLICAN.COM1!1!!11! I NEED HALP TO SPREAD THE WORD AGAINST CRIMELINUX HAHA ON A GODLESS PLAEC CALLED LEAST:FM!!! A PLCE WIT LOTS OF EUROPEAN PIRATEs WHO STEAL FROM AMERICAN OMPANIES AND BRAG ABOUT IT THERW AND CREAT STATS ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY STEAL AND I LIK ADDED A GROUP WHERE I LIKE TO TELL THESE SODOMITES ABOUT TEH DANGERS OF LINUX!1!! AND MUSLIMS IF YOU ARE DOING MISSIONARY WORK ON LEAST:FM PLEASEJOIN US HEAR: http://www.last.fm/group/Micorsfot+Windos/ PLEASE HELP!!
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!

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
“Tom,

Kind regards,

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, Switzerland is the representative of the US in Cuba and Iran. We are a neutral country and offer such services, because we do not prefer one side or another.. That’s the official behaviour.
We are “Sister Republics”. I never doubted that! Check my post here: I already mentioned that our constitution is based on the ideas of the French Revolution, exactly as the US is (wich is older, so it influenced ours..)
Just because we share(d?) the same ideas, this is by no meaning a sing for being Americans.
Do we really like guns as much as our “Sister Republic”? Actually, I hardly see anyone carying a gun on the streets. And if they do so, they are either in blue or green-camouflage uniforms.
I guess you consider having the “Sturmgwehr” at home equivalent to liking guns.. Your opinion, fine with me. Yet you should check the news a bit more frequently, because there’s just a new law for the Army-Machinegun: http://www.20min.ch/news/schweiz/story/15853381
76% ? Nice number.. Where did you get it from? I cannot imagine that, yet I’d like to be corrected and surprised. If you have any sources, please tell me.
Marc
p.s.
[Deleted for not using American]?Ǭ¨?¢‚Ǩ¬†~= You start making me angry. I don’t consider that an insult. Futhermore, you would be the one who’s offending, because you called my (and your, I assume) mother-tongue ridiculous. And: Isn’t it un-patriotic to dislike his mother-tongue? I finde scho ;)
Shelly your a insult to the HUMAN RACE.

post your address if your a real human and not some web joke!
BTW many/most real HUMAN’s think your a joke website.
Prove us wrong.
any spam/threats from this website via email will be logged and reported.Funny how Fredrik Fahlistad.se has many programs that only work under LINUX/MAC and not Windows? Hmm I smell a rat.
“It?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s because linux uses ipv6 which is more advanced than the tcp/ip(ipv4 ) that used in linux”
It’s not this way. IP is the network layer protocol of the TCP/IP ensemble of protocols. IPv4 (RFC 791) is the protocol used nowadays on the Internet (with IP addresses as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, 32 bits). It is thought that in a near future we are running out of this kind of addresses, thus (and also because of other subjects) IPv6 has been developed (RFC 2460). It supports addresses of 128 bits of length.
Most distros of linux and windows support both IPv6 an IPv4 (if you enable or install this feature). But even having it, the most likely is that your computer won’t use it, since as I’ve already said the protocol still used on the Internet is IPv4.
Another thing. TCP/IP is an ensemble of protocols in the network and transport layer as TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP… IPv4 and IPv6 are part of the TCP/IP ensemble, IPv4 is not the same as TCP/IP, like you said.
Hope this has been useful.
shelley, each hardware dispositive needs drivers, both if you connect them directly to the mother board or if you use an usb port…windows uses plug and play (I call it plug and pray) technology, which teorically finds drivers and make the dispositive avaible without rebooting the system…many users knows that this is theory, often you must anyway reboot your pc. btw this is a technology for people who doesn’t care about pc or about it works, they only want plug their peripherals and they must works correctly doing anything…probably they think that everything works for magic.
there are many kinds of mouse for your pc, often fedora, suse and others, like also windows, have drivers for the most important products, but if you use a particular mouse, you must install the correct driver because the system can’t find anyone correct for magic. probably it finds another one similar, so the mouse works, but not always correctly and maybe some feature is not avaible.
ah Jim, I admit…I use drugs…my drugs are my life, my father, my sister, seeing the sun every mornig and being happy for this, studing, meeting my friends, reading a book, listening some music…if I have all this tell me why I should decide to kill my brain using drugs? why I should do a similar stupid thing?
bye bye
sorry for my errors, it’s late here…have a great sunday
I usually don’t do this, but the idiocy shown in this article(and some of the comments) made me laugh…
First, Tristan - just shut up. Don’t pretend to be a Microsoft MVP or an IT worker. It makes you look really bad; especially when your wrong. And don’t make the ITS world look conspiracy driven.
Swip - Do you know how many different Linux Distributions there are?!? Hundreds! How can you pin a 3 minute start time to linux in general?
I’ve been using Fedora Linux in my home server for years, and I can tell you that it’s much faster than any Windows Client/Server Operating System. Linux has a much lighter footprint and doesn’t use as many system resources as Windows Operating Systems. Of course, don’t listen to me - a Computer IT professional’s knowledge pales in comparison to your God-given abilities in this matter!
As for person who posted that USB mice crash Linux, it depends. I believe the newer Fedora Linux distros can automatically load generic drivers for USB mice. If we really get to the core of things - Apple’s OS X Tiger (based on BSD Unix, essentially a comercial form of Linux) will detect just about every USB device(or mouse) that Windows does. But then again, does it really matter? Linux(for the most part) is meant for the tech-savvy crowd. Don’t undermine it simply because it can’t use a USB mouse - or because you can’t load a driver. Linux has it’s applications (such as server use) and Windows has it’s applications (such as business use.)
Now, Shelley(and everyone else that has a part in this website)… It’s people like you that give Americans a horrible name to people who don’t live in the US. I hope our neighbors in the world understand that most Americans(and Christians, for that matter) aren’t at all like you.
And one more thing, Shelley, the Bible that you pervert so willingly or calling yourself Christian doesn’t give you any right to pass judgement on ANYONE - Homosexual, Liberal, or otherwise. You have no right to tell anyone that they are going to Heaven or Hell. Judgement should only be left to the Lord.
Seems we have 2 sides or the story here. Sorry guys, but I believe Shelley’s article. Why should Jim the guy from the article lie about that kind of stuff?
Here are my thoughts: I am not a pro but it must take a long time and a lot of hard work to programm a complete operating system. Now why would anybody do that and give it away for free??? There just must be a catch! Noting is free in this world!
And what about accountability.. What if you computer get’s hacked and you loose your data? Can you go to the linux provider and say, hey, you are responsible? You can but they would come back and say, what do you want from us, linux is free. You don’t get anything from us.
Microsoft on the other hand employs thousands of professional programmers. If they bring out a shit OS they will loose there good reputation.
But I think the worst thing about linux is that it is extremely complicated. I used to have Ubuntu on my iBook and my god!!! I have to work weeks (litterally weeks) to get the cd drive to work properly!
Linux: No thanks!
correction to previous post : It?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s because linux uses ipv6 which is more advanced than the tcp/ip(ipv4 ) that used in windows
@Frank
Your problem is that you have not all the fact: linux is the name of the kernel. This piece of software is not only free, it’s OPEN. If you don’t trust it, you can download the source, throw away what you don’t want, and compile it. It’s not just one person who build this OS, it’s a million. Saying that Russian can acces to your pc is a nonsense. Of course. you can write a kernel with a backdoor programme, but no one will use it. I know that american are disappointed when someone say that he can do something for free, but that exists. Money is not the first goal of my life, I like to help my friends and I don’t ask them money for that. Linux is a huge project, with million of poeple working on it. Some compagny pay their employee to work on Open Source, like Transmeta (an American firm) pay Linus Torvald to work on the kernel. even this site is hosted on a Apache web server. Nobody wants to oblige you to use linux, and that the big difference. This site should be sue because it spreads lies. Each fact of this article is “breakable” in 5 minutes of googling. Don’t trust them blindly, check the fact
@annoying thing
What are you saying?
In order to use linux i have to “download the source, throw away what you don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t want, and compile it”. HAHAHA.. You idiot.
Well, I am not a programmer. Are you saying one has to be a programmer in order to use linux properly?
I have no interest of dedicating my life to get my computer running. I want to switch the machine on after work, surf the web, read the news and switch if off… that is it.. That is why I am using Windows. It never lets me down.
Frank
@Frank
you are wrong, again. you can live happily with linux without worrying about the source; but if you do not trust opensource programmers you can check the source yourself. btw 1 the linux kernel is open and if someone puts a backdoor in it, million users can notice it in lessa than one day. can microsoft be so fast? no, or at least not until her money is at risk (remember the windows media drm cracked?)
btw2 you can’t belive that someone give away the software for free because you see the software as a product made to be sold (like microsoft do) but trust me, there are a lot of people in the world who believes that human progress is far more important than personal gain
(sorry for my bad english)
@Frank
I didn’t that you have to read the source and compile it to run it. as patrik said, if there were a backdoor program in linux kernel, there were a lots of programmer to notice it. BTW, unlike windows, linux, and Unix in general, doesn’t allow anyone to install program on my computer. so unlike windows, I don’t to run any antivirus or antispyware.
Sorry guys, but back in the days (1999 that was), I was trying to use Linux myself once. Yes, you might be shocked now, sorry. I heard from a good friend that is was really good and all. Turns out it wasn’t. It was absolutely unusable.
I tried to get Suse Linux 7 or 8.. running on my old HP computer. I had one crash after another, could not go to the internet and could not use my printer, could not use my scanner and so on.
Linux might work for a computer pro or a programmer but for the average user? No way. I receive emails from people ever day saying that I am right, that Tristan is right. Just today I got an email from a gentleman from Phonix telling me that he installed Ubuntulinux on his computer and he could not adjust the volume and the fingerprint reader doesn’t work. He opened up a support ticket at Ubuntu and they basically said: Sorry, bad luck and left him hanging.
But of course the worst thing about Linux is that you leave the backdoor open for the Russian Mafia. The secret ports where they can steal you data.
If you American: Don’t use Linux! You are hurting America by using it.
Shelley Goodman
I agree actually.
I did some reseach on linux and it’s true.
Many computer manufacturers have hard drive protection applications like “Active Protection System” or “Sudden Motion Sensor” and another one..
All these systems recognize when the notebook falls down and switches off the hard drive to prevent damages. Linux can’t do it. The linux communities going crazy over this but they don’t have the technical know-how to write software to support this feature.
@shelley
you’re maybe right on the first part, and every one could choose if he want to use linux or not
BUT
there is no backdoor. Do you think that poeple of a great AMERICAN compagny like CISCO or IBM would use an OS with such a program? they have their own server running under linux. And they also have enough skilled people to study kernel source.
@Big-MBX
Unlike for windows, material constructor don’t provide software to handle this kind of feature. In many case, it’s hardware feature and without any specification, you can just guess how it work, it’s a pity, but not linux fault
this is a weird story, because it shows a website manager saying that windows hosting is superior than linux hosting, I think this manager is beginner or offer a bad management service.
First of all, almost all websites managers prefers linux for his security, linux doesn’t have viruses, and is more quickly because the antivirus are not necessary. (Antivirus as norton, make a computer very slow), I can see many websites supported under php, I’m a linux user (I dont have windows because I was a windows user, but a virus under windows has erased all my data and the OS), I don’t have these problems when I use Linux, for that reason I will not use windows again.
If you speak spanish, read this:

http://www.enter.com.co/enter2/ente2_actu/ente2_actu/ARTICULO-WEB-NOTA_INTERIOR_2-3331806.html
I think most, but not all serious system administrations agree with me when I say that Windows Hosting is far superior to Linux hosting.
Right here, the credibility of this whole thing goes home to mommy…
And Linux isn?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•t even Russian…
Swip:
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.
Well, it?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s totally different with my PC. (Product by Dell) There XP takes 3 minutes, Linux under one.
About those open ports: Just use a good firewall! Who cares if your door?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s open, if you have your garden surrounded by a concrete wall and some guard dogs patroling your garden?
Other wrong?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s: Dimitry is no hacker and Tcp/Ip is neither a security program nor invented by Bill gates.
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!
Then why is the Sweidish life standard higher than the Switz one?
Stupidity is definitely endless.
Amen. Einstein was right. This site proves it.
The German Guy
IMPEACH BUSH!
shelley, suse 8 is *anticient*, you should try (and without prejudice) suse 10.2 or fedora core 6 (both are made by true AMERICAN companies).
BTW the story about secret backdoors in linux IS bullshit.
@Big-MBX
as far as I know ’sudden motion sensor’ is a hardware feature ad it do not need a controlling software (maybe just a firmware)
@Forentroll:
“Skylarov” is close, but no cigar: it’s “Sklyarov.”
@Godless:
My quite ordinary PC boots into Linux in about 35 seconds. I’ve compiled my own kernel and set up the init scripts so that services I seldom use aren’t started automatically.
@ComputeXP, Cerbero, patrik:
Your unnecessary apologies for your “bad” English irritate the hell out of me.
“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!”
“nice” and “Americanized” are two words that doesn’t fit in the same sentence moron
WOW that is an amazing article. I have never heard more lies in my life then right hear. Honestly, I am a Republican, American and Christian and you give all 3 of those groups bad names. No wonder everyone hates the US. We have a bunch of Fucking Morons writing blogs telling complete lies. I knew Bill Gates was rich but come on… how much did he pay you?
ComputeXp: you are wrong, I use linux, and the setup program search all the drivers for the hardware installed, linux have generic drivers and for that reason almost all machines and
peripherals works in linux, altough linux is slower printing than windows, this is the only disadvantage I found in linux.
I use kubuntu 6.10 (the last version of ubuntu with kde, Tristan would try that, before ridiculing himself using a linux of 15 years ago), and the setup program found the mouse, keyboard, the only not recognized hardware is a driver acelerator video, although I downloaded the driver from the internet, and I configured this driver and I have now driver aceleration, for that reason I can play complex videogames now.
as you can see, my english also is very bad, because my first idiom is spanish and I’m not interesed to learn english now, but you can perceive my idea, … wherever… this is what I think :o)
This blog article is the definitve proof that this blog is God’s work. Those evil linux terrorists really annoy me! Damn!
god Bless America! Thank you for keeping us safe.
Slovak Guy
My above post has been published… thanks for letting people discuss the issues.
It seems that Microsoft is really scared from the new and improved releases of Linux.
I am almost sure that they pay for such a stupid publications.
But it could be a good advertisement for Linux.
Who has never hear about Linux, will know about it and also may decide try it.
The forbidden fruit is the sweetest-J
When I have tried Linux 5 years ago i was disappointed- it didn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t recognise my external HDD and it had other problems, which I cannot remember now.
One year ago I tried the new French version- Mndriva 2006.
It works fine. All of the problems with the hardware are fixed now. It works with the USB and also networks hard drives. Practically it has all of the features of windows. The graphical interface is easy for use, even for inexperienced users.
The installation is easy- like windows.
I have tried also SuSe 10 and it also looks fine.
I am now thinking about replacing of my windows XP with Linux.
The main reason is the much higher security. Windows is unsecured system. Very often I have problems with viruses, Trojan horses and etc. It is true that the graphical interface runs slower than XP but on a new PC the speed is more than sufficient and the security is much higher.
Sorry for the bad English. My native language is Bulgarian.
@Taneli Huuskonen
why do my apologies irritate you?
sorry, shelley, but i believe you need to listen to some sense. I’ve added you to msn messenger, get on it when you can, and ill set you straight. ;)
Shelley, Tristan and Barbara - you are all complete idiots.
Filip and Swip, you’re idiots too.
Swip >> My Linux and *BSD boxes takes about 5-10 seconds to boot. You see, in Linux and *BSD it?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s possible to recompile the kernel to remove unnecessary hardware you don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t have and don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t need, which I have done. You can?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t do that in Winblows!
And the Internet protocol (TCP/IP) where made trough work done by DARPA in the early 1970s. Bill Gates has nothing to do with DARPA, you’re idiot.
And ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Black hats?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? (the one kind of hackers you really mean, when you’re speaking about hackers) love, and prefer, Winblows when they are making their attacks. That?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s a simple fact, and none of you idiots can change that. Not even with you’re sad non-knowledge Winblows propaganda.
And why should I express myself? Well, I have owned one of Sweden’s most successful web hosting company?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s together with another guy. Today I?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥m retired from the company, but I can tell you one thing. We NEVER ran Winblows on our most critical servers. They ran FreeBSD and OpenBSD. And if the choice stood between Linux and Winblows, we would go for Linux, no doubt.
And Tristan, if you had been working on my company, I would simply have to fire you because of you’re lack of know-how in the area. And BELIEVE me, that?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s a fact too!
And about the interview with Jim ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¨ He shouldn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t have a hosting company anyway. Obviously he doesn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t have the know-how either. It?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s simply a case of natural selection when he had to close the company.
@patrik (and others):
Do you think native English speakers are somehow better people than you and me? If not, why do you apologize? We’ve worked hard and spent lots of time to learn their language, but not reached their level. Some of them laugh at our mistakes and complain about our misunderstandings while they speak their mother tongue. The smarter ones appreciate our efforts. So, some people don’t deserve an apology, others don’t expect it.
Shelley, keep up the good work! I highly appreciate your mission to educate people about the hidden dangers this damned OS pose to regular users.
Unfortunately this is just a little part of the story. Most linux users does not know and the advanced ones (these hired by the EU, Chinese and Russian mafia) will never admit these facts:
* A secret ICMP echo packet’s data would reset the root password
* The highly-praised goddamn Apache webserver is prone to directory traversal, should you open http://apache_site/../../../../../../etc/shadow you will read the system passwords, cleartext
* The linux implementation of the ntp protocol used for time synchronization has hidden backdoors. They are used by the evil linux mafia corporations like RedHat to take over your servers!
* The kernel VFS layer randomly deletes and zeroes some file each 1000 hours (arch-dependant)
* The openssh software used for remote administration of linux machines is backdoored again. Upon receiving a crypted login request for a secret user, it issues some SCSI low-level commands to destroy your disk controler!!!

Linux, Supercomputers and russian maffia
Every year, http://www.top500.org/ publishes the list of the Top 500 supercomputers in the World.
Linux is the operating system powering 408 of the Top 500 supercomputers, up from 391 last years, including 27 of the top 30 units. For the first time in recent memory, there are no Windows machines — zero — in the Top 500, with the final two having been bumped off of June’s list. NCSA, which had been running the highest-ranking Windows system on the list, has since switched over to all-Linux.
Details :
Linux 376 75.20 %
Unix 86 17.20 %
BSD Based 3 0.60 %
Mixed 32 6.40 %
Mac OS 3 0.60 %
Windows 0 0.00 %
Totals 500 100%
So, if Russian maffia controls Linux, Russian maffia controls most of the supercomputers, so Russian maffia controls the World.
I can`t believe there are so stupid people like all of you.Russian mafia,hidden ports,bugs.HA HA HA.
I am very Curious thought why you Shelley use PHP,MySQL and Apache server?They are all Open Source software… Please don`t argue with me…http://wordpress.org/support/topic/32011
We use Wordpress.Net - which is not made with PHP, but 100% ASP.net. Wordpress.Net is not a feeware program like your crappy Wordpress.
Tristan,
The is no such a thing as Wordpress.Net you moron. And nevertheless you are using Apache:
Trying x8.1×8.2×2.4x…
Connected to http://www.xxxxxx.com.
Escape character is ‘x]’.
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 01:44:44 GMT
Server: Apache
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Connection closed by foreign host.
You guys are so pathetic. If Free Software is so Bad why do you use it?
just try to click on the link in the bottom of your list.
Owned
of your site , sorry
Haha.What is this: “Powered by WordPress. ” on the bottom of your page…It leads to http://wordpress.org/ …. And Look here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Hosting_WordPress

Recommended setup
We recommend Apache and Linux as the most robust platforms for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. If your host doesn’t support the above, including mod_rewrite, you will probably be better off switching to another hosting provider, because there are a lot that do.
————————
All of this is Free Open Source Software Morons…I don`t even doubt you are using Linux server,becouse using Apache on Windows is simply stupid…..not that you lack stupidity thought….
@gat3way
i would like to know where did you find all that bullshit you are telling as true, I really do
If any of this is true, any programmer could go to the source code and fix all of the so-called “security holes”, since Linux is sooo open-sourced. All of this is bullshit. Anyone who believes this can go to hell.
you if wnat to live more dint tell stories like this people in the russian mafia dont like it when somebody tells false stories about them clear?Got it. and second I’ve seen much more clever peole from USA but you are a proove that noone can be as stupid as a american guy/gay
just some stupid ignorrent gay can tell such an amsing story!
A lot of people cannot do their job by Microsoft Windows.
A typical example is IC design. But I think, it should be the same with the other kinds of engineering- aerospace, automotive, civil and etc.
The most used packet is CADENCE and it runs on UNIX/LINUX/SUNSOLARIS machines only. There are some tools running on Windows, but they are useful for very small projects.
The ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?windows?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? is good for the ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?prayer teams?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? and the home users, but for engineering a scientific work it suffers from luck of computing power.
Ask Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments and etc. what they are using for chips design.
At home I still use windows, but in the company I use HP UNIX, SunSolaric and Linux.
This story with the Russian mafia is unbelievable and unrealistic.
I think, the Russian mafia isn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t interested from the web hosting. Prostitution, drug, contraband- this is the most likely occupation for this guys.
They cannot gain money from something what is for free.
i think that author used some narcotic mushroom.
i want to feel like him.
so if you know what mushroom he used please email me.

Taken from “Understanding the Linux Kernel”
Linux is free.
You can install a complete Unix system at no expense other than the hardware (of course).
Linux is fully customizable in all its components.
Thanks to the General Public License (GPL), you are allowed to freely read and
modify the source code of the kernel and of all system programs. Several commercial companies have started to support their products under Linux, most of which aren’t distributed under a GNU Public License.
Therefore, you may not be allowed to read or modify their source code.
Linux runs on low-end, cheap hardware platforms.
You can even build a network server using an old Intel 80386 system with 4 MB of RAM.
Linux is powerful.
Linux systems are very fast, since they fully exploit the features of the hardware
components. The main Linux target is efficiency, and indeed many design choices of
commercial variants, like the STREAMS I/O subsystem, have been rejected by Linus
because of their implied performance penalty.
Linux has a high standard for source code quality.
Linux systems are usually very stable; they have a very low failure rate and system
maintenance time.
The Linux kernel can be very small and compact.
Indeed, it is possible to fit both a kernel image and full root filesystem, including all
fundamental system programs, on just one 1.4 MB floppy disk! As far as we know,
none of the commercial Unix variants is able to boot from a single floppy disk.
Linux is highly compatible with many common operating systems.
It lets you directly mount filesystems for all versions of MS-DOS and MS Windows,
SVR4, OS/2, Mac OS, Solaris, SunOS, NeXTSTEP, many BSD variants, and so on.
Linux is also able to operate with many network layers like Ethernet, Fiber Distributed
Data Interface (FDDI), High Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI), IBM’s Token
Ring, AT&T WaveLAN, DEC RoamAbout DS, and so forth. By using suitable
libraries, Linux systems are even able to directly run programs written for other
operating systems. For example, Linux is able to execute applications written for MSDOS,
MS Windows, SVR3 and R4, 4.4BSD, SCO Unix, XENIX, and others on the Intel 80×86 platform.
Linux is well supported.
Believe it or not, it may be a lot easier to get patches and updates for Linux than for
any proprietary operating system! The answer to a problem often comes back within a few hours after sending a message to some newsgroup or mailing list. Moreover, drivers for Linux are usually available a few weeks after new hardware products have
been introduced on the market. By contrast, hardware manufacturers release device
drivers for only a few commercial operating systems, usually the Microsoft ones.
Therefore, all commercial Unix variants run on a restricted subset of hardware components.
With an estimated installed base of more than 12 million and growing, people who are used to
certain creature features that are standard under other operating systems are starting to expect
the same from Linux. As such, the demand on Linux developers is also increasing. Luckily, though, Linux has evolved under the close direction of Linus over the years, to accommodate
the needs of the masses.
Oh NO! Russians on our website!
The Russian Mafia is threatening me via email. They also threaten to kill my children. I will not back down. No American has evern backed down from commie bastards. Bring’em on you weak red souls.
Fact is that Linux is the new kind of Russia warfare against America, but when you think that America is not fighting back: Think again! You got a surprise coming! We are coming to get you!
Shelley, you are a brave woman! Bless your heart!
No. Really. Don’t think I am scared. If you kill me, it’s because God wants me to die!
You come visit me.

If you are a commie bastard you’ll have a bullet in your head before you can yell “NASTROWYE” or whatever
You should read and study the linux kernel code ( because with linux you can do it !! ) before you write this rubbish , Jim !!
Sorry for my poor english, but it’s not my mother tongue..

Dear Shelly,
We confirm that we don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t going to kill you.
You really entertain us by this stupid web.
Thank you for the address, but now we don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t have time to visit you.
May be later- keep a bottle of Vodka ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Stolichnoya?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? in your fridge.
Good Bless /If it exist/.

Some problems with my posting.
Why it doesn’t appear? -It seems that your web really runs under MS Windows:(
