No the original lie on this thread was that Linksys was a company that owed its existence to Linux, which is clearly far from the truth. Very few models use Linux and the main one that did had it ripped off LOL. Go attack the poster that claimed those lies is what you should be doing of course, but as your history indicates you mostly attack anyone that questions the green party leftists behind Linux instead. That and attack Republicans, Christians, and generally any American product. You try to pass yourself off as a supporter of Apple, by erroneously trying to claim they’re a free software company when they’re not, but have even let it slip you’d prefer their products be made by Sony. Even tried to claim Japanese cars are more American than American cars one time, LOL probably are in you foreign based fantasies.

Mistake not a lie I corrected myself in post 35 (which I already told you about "For the record if Im wrong regarding Lynksys so be it, that does not invalidate the point that Linux has helped many an American business start." Still rather than actually talk about the point I was trying to make you hang on to my *admitted* mistake and began beating the lie drums yet, when you made what I believe to be a mistake about the number of Linksys products with Linux and are called on it you cant man up and admit it was a mistake. Thats where you lose credibility.

Go attack the poster that claimed those lies is what you should be doing of course

What if the poster already said 'maybe Im wrong'

any American product.

Ive never seen him attack Apple, RedHat, or Solaris. Looks like to you Microsoft Windows is 'any American product'

You try to pass yourself off as a supporter of Apple, by erroneously trying to claim they’re a free software company when they’re not

In total Apple is not a free software company but the underpinnings of one of their main products (OSX) is..

He corrected himself. I showed how Linux helped bring Linksys from being a nothing company to being worth half a billion at sale, and you lied to try to counter that truth.

Very few models use Linux

Here you go again, silently changing your lie towards a truth without actually retracting the lie. You said one model. Anyway, you're still wrong. Almost a hundred Linksys models using Linux can in no way be considered as "very few."

Let me guess, you just took the number 17 I quoted without even bothering to look up the fact that it encompassed almost a hundred separate product models -- even though I gave you a warning.

You try to pass yourself off as a supporter of Apple, by erroneously trying to claim they’re a free software company when they’re not,

I'm a supporter of Apple only because they make quality stuff. Bringing in their extensive use of and contributions to open source software, even GPL software, even FSF-owned GPL software, only serves to counter your paranoia of open source software.

As for the rest, you're just going into rants and insults again to distract from your proven lies.
