A dream job for the spammer and a nightmare for his employer.
I wonder if Manchester University knows what he is up to running his personal
sites during work time.

Well, look where he allegedly earned it. Is there any corroboration of even
that? He is a loudmouth to be sure. Whether he is a tireless advocate or a
hopeless psychotic can be argued, too. It may be the same thing.
In any case, all his posting is indicative of his doing nothing else and, if
he is employed to actually do something for someone, he is a cheat. Take it
either way there, too, either is his abusing the trust of his employer or he
is unemployed. Personally, I am retired and the SSA doesn't really care
where I spend my time. Bridge, golf, or hassling you, it is all the same to
them.

Thats' great news! It's nice to see Roy get some well deserved recognition
for all the years of hard work he has dedicated to FOSS and Linux in
particular. I enjoy reading his site and not a day goes by where I don't
learn something new and interesting from his posting. Hopefully he
continues to fight for freedom, FOSS and Linux. The web cast was pretty
good but you need to fix the buzzing. The unscripted approach seemed to
work well for you guys. Best wishes in the future and I hope it takes off.

A doctorate adds nothing to most people unless they work in the same
field that they researched for their doctorate. All it generally does is
cultivate a "stay in the ivory tower" approach to life (non med that is).

Roy had no job. Other than being paid to spam and get hits to his site
that is.

I usually don't see troll posts unless someone has replied. In this case,
the troll rant is extremely moronic, which is about par for COLA. OTOH,
I'd never expect anything good from Hadron Larry Qualig Quark. It is one
lost cause, he can continue to whine and cry inside a kill filter.
Perhaps that is why in the past he ranted so dearly toward William Poaster
and his kill file.
Yes, Roy has succeeded and seems to be doing quite well in his endeavours.

Except that it shows determination and intelligence. The fact that
he is broadening his horizons by working in other fields is yet
another feather in his cap. I admire him for accomplishing all he
has and at such a young age. He has a very bright future ahead of
him.

I doubt Linux Format which is one of the better Linux magazines
would do an article on him if that were true. The backlash from
the community would be huge.

How do you know this to be true? Roy is controversial for sure
but he seems sincere and that is ultimately what matters, at least
to me.

Intelligence yes, and ability to research.

He has accomplished nothing out of the ordinary. A Dcotorate is to be
applauded but they are not unique. Roy has wasted most of the last few
years spouting nonsense and creating hate sites.

He is not sincere. You cant not be sincere when you dont tell the whole
truth to defend your points. His twisting of the truth is well
documented.

Depending upon the discipline, probably true but Roy seems to have
earned his degree in the bio-medical field. Plowing through that
kind of information isn't trivial IMHO. My point is he has the
discipline and intelligence to have done this and no matter what
field he ends up working in, those traits will be an asset for
him.

Perhaps that is why he moved over to AOLU. Many people here in COLA

This is a list of the disinformation tactics that the that the

Locate or create apparently embarrassing information or detail and
utilize it out of all proportion-trying to create a scandal around
it, to hijack a thread or drive everyone to distraction.
23. Lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie. If you do it often enough you may create the
appearance of truth.
33. Claim false Alignment
Remind Everyone that you are a long-time Linux user and advocate.
Of course it is not true, so you will be accused of being what you

44. Use being an idiot as an excuse
When you are criticized for using disinformation tactics, claim
ignorance of the disinformation tactics and use your apparent
idiocy as an excuse for your actions. Do the same for your

I had an interesting discussion with one of the gals at the bank. I
mentioned to her that I use Linux for all my on-line banking. I
mentioned to her that Microsoft has never taken security seriously, it
is why one needs to add an additional anti-virus and personal firewall
software to their OS. Their software is very easy to compromise.
In essence she had replied that Microsoft is responsible for the all the
security breaches through their software.
"Bingo."
If Microsoft really took security seriously instead of being a model for
"charging the most by getting by with the least", we would not be in the
worldwide fix we are in today.
A little TLC goes a long way.

I concur. Roy is no dummy by any means. He has a bright future ahead
of him, already displaying his ability to research, conclude and
document. The trolls can whine and moan about him, but they indicate
that they are nothing more than a waste of time. They are the "Biff" of
the time space continuum in Back to the Future.
