That way when that LinuxInsider article appears in searches on Google and other search engines, so will your correction. It all helps to protect my good name, which I obviously care about and should care about." -- PJ

Quite commonly spelled "DiDiot" as well. See:Laura Didio,----[ Quote ]| An example of her opinion on how Open Source Software is handled shows| in this remark (quoted from a phone interview from her home in| Massachusetts): "The thing about Linux is, you can talk about a free,| open operating system all you want, but you can't take that idea of free| and open and put it into a capitalist system and maintain it as though| it is some kind of hippie commune or ashram, because if you can do it| like that, at that point I'm like, 'Pass the hookah please!'" [1]|| Even recently, after admitting that a SCO victory in their case against| IBM seemed like an extreme longshot, Didio said, "There is a larger| issue, though: Even if the SCO case gets dismissed entirely, it does| not remove the copyright cloud hanging over Linux and open source." [2]|| [...]|| Unsurprisingly, Linux advocates have in response heavily criticised| DiDio. Typical criticisms are a lack of formal Computer Science| qualifications and promoting studies funded by Microsoft; frequently| this has resulted in questioning of her integrity and her being| characterised as "a Microsoft shill".`----<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Didio">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Didio</a>Her boss, the founder of the Yankee Group (Microsoft sockpuppet behind some misleading 'studies' that appear as "The Facts") called open source a "religion" last month. The whole anti-Groklaw brigade (Lyons, O'Ghara, Enderle, et al) should be altogether ignored by journalism, but sadly they are not. It's still just a medium that serves corporate agenda. Groklaw is the very opposite of this.

It's NOT a GB....it's called Cross Linking. If you're above the age of an amoeba and KNOW what CL is, then you would *never* accuse this movement of "GBing".Can I get you a diaper?

Yes, that is what I said; it's a legitimate question - did you have a point?

@wyrdnessYou obviously haven't seen how well fed Dvorak is. He is the Internet's biggest troll.

The Wikipedia article on her points out she held a psychic slumber party at the Amityville Horror house. Now she is a Microsoft shill. Is that a promotion or a lateral move? "I see dead patents?"
