More tales of Linux slopware woe: dual-boot Win7 works beautifully, Ubuntu random freezes with no sound
DFS
I dual boot Windows 7, and Windows 7 works beautifully. Ubuntu worked great
up until about 2 days ago. Then, randomly my mouse would freeze (battery was
fine, doesn't happen in windows) and I had to keyboard restart.
Then, this morning my computer started booting REALLY slowly. It would take
about 10 minutes to leave the Ubuntu icon. Once into Ubuntu (sometimes it
would freeze entirely), I now have no sound. I still have a sound icon."

And Linux has a tiny market share...hmmm... could there be a correlation
between crap software and a low number of users? Yes, I think there is.

You still post like the out of date Hans van Raaij, the Double Dutch PR
evangelist.
You don't know or use any Linux like Hans van Raaij and so you will be glad
to know Linux netbooks beats windowps on price and performance and enjoys
huge sales revenue and volume growth in the space of 1 year.
Linux Grabs 33% of desktop market share in global sales from its
competitor micoshaft.
Human Evangelical PR Botnets
----------------------------
I was under the impression that asstroturfing was a semi-loose
confederation of freetards donating their time freely to micoshaft/appil
for free and/or as part of paid work and attacking freedom software
and the freedom software movement because they were just brainless
fan boyees.
But over a period of time, I think the issues switched a little bit.
Yes there are genuine asstroturfers.
But above all that there seems to be a network of evangelical mindless
morons that seems to have formed into a human evangelical PR botnet.
You pay them some money, and they rant from all directions.
It had to happen. There is always a market for mindless morons to post
like bots something that they don't believe in for money and then go in
there to defend their posts by ranting.
The internet has arrived, and Human Evangelical PR botnets
is the natural evolution of internet based marketing operations.
It is an industry as viable as spam marketing or google selling advertising
space on search result pages.
Evangelical PR botnets are out of control and will continue to grow
until something is done about them. Marketing is not free speech.
It kills free speech by drowning it in paid marketing lies and noise.
Simple asstroturfing laws are not enough.
This needs involvement of auditors that go into businesses that are
creating Human Evangelical PR botnets and make sure that whatever
the human evangelical PR botnet outputs on to the internet is
properly tagged with the name of the company that created it and
name of the sponsor that is paying for the services and then match
it with the companies that hired the Human Evangelical PR botnet
companies to do their marketing.
