• Habitual liar
• Posts messages which are blatant lies pretending they were written by Linux advocates.

Let me introduce Hadron Quark, affectionately known as COLA's Resident
"Expert" on Everything - Ever ®, who is without exception the most stupid
person I have ever encountered in my entire life.

And I don't say this as some offhand insult, it is a simple statement of
fact. He makes Dubya Bush look like a Nobel Prize-winning mathematician
by comparison, so I'm afraid you'd be wasting your time simplifying the
truth for his benefit.

You could liquidise the truth with a pound of bananas, and spoon-feed it
to Hadron whilst carefully wiping the dribbles from his mouth, and he'd
still totally fail to understand.

Quotes:

The following example is a case of where the the filthy troll changes the quoted text its replying to:

Original text:

So, according to you, I'm a roy lapdog who follows him around like a slave...
Agreeing with everything he ever says..

Hadron's quote:

It does appear that Chris Arsestrom is attached to Roy's sphincter via
his tongue. Quite amazing as he used to be quite a balanced poster. Now
its just, as you say, snip and hide and giggle while not even bothering
to argue the FACTS presented to him. He rarely, if ever, reads the posts
he replies to. It's almost as if Roy kicks him up his arse and says "go
get Liarmutt, fetch!".

Erik Funkenbusch

Name: Erik 'the weasel' Funkenbusch

Traits:

• Microsoft apologist with no peer
  
• Spreads FUD about Linux, OSS & GPL (did the same when OS/2 was a threat to Microsoft)
  
• Habitual liar
• When caught lying runs away
• Will resort to unethical means to denigrate Linux advocates - always fails
• Funkenbusch is utterly devoid of ethical values
  
• Known to cross post to other Linux newsgroups in a futile attempt at causing more disruption
• Obsessed with Roy Schestowitz
• Racist (see below regarding 419 scams)
  

Unanswered FUD from Erik:

• Where does NTFS store its journal?
• How did the Morris worm spread by email?
• What about using MS TT fonts on Linux, why have they to be *only*
  used in Windows?
• Can he provide evidence for plenty of examples of competing ISO
  standards?
• What about the "dozens of root exploits per month in linux" he
  claimed, & he was then found to be making it all up?
• What was the master plan Erik had when he spammed COLA with incipient replies to Roy Schestowitz's [News] posts?

Quotes:

Security is one of those funny things. You can talk about being "more" secure, but there's no such thing. A vulnerability is a vulnerability, and even one makes you just as insecure as anyone else. Security is a binary condition, either you are or you aren't.

I still stand by my argument that the morris worm spread through email because it spread through sendmail, and email program.

Here's a reason why EVERYONE should be running scared.

1) Millions of NIGERIAN children with free PC's. There's a reason most of the 419 scams come out of nigeria, and now having millions of people with computers to run such scams will only make things worse.

[here's a bit of inanity regarding OpenOffice downloads]

Whether or not that's true, it could mean 1/2 a billion installs that got installed, then trashed righ away when they didn't like it.

Or, and I think this is more likely, I think there are legions of people running scripts out there to download the files over and over to stack the download count.
