I think he writes flame-bait to get page hits. Other "journalists" do
this, as they get paid a cut of advertising revenue for their story (one of
SCO's supporters admitted this once, when he didn't know the microphone was on).
Orlowski (and Lewis Page) has been appearing a lot less in The Register lately,
as it appears that a lot of readers have started skipping over his stories.
Orlowski turns off the comment system on a lot of his stories as it is usually
so easy to refute his nonsense. If he leaves comments on his alternatives are to
either put up with being made to look like a muppet or delete all the contrary
posts (which becomes pretty obvious as well).
If the verdict ever gets overturned, Orlowski will probably just ignore it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Frankly I grew tired of "El Reg" some time ago. The articles all
dripped with a condescension I found revolting. I'd compare them to fox news in
the US, but fox news has pretty blonde ladies, and El Reg has some grasp,
however tenuous, of facts.
I can get better news at venues that don't rely on that sort of thing.
BOFH was occasionally funny though...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I haven't read the piece in question, but I believe that "freetard" is
generally used to describe people who expect everything for free (no cost, not
freedom), even other people's copyright material.
Open source is based on sharing our own property and using what other people
willing share.
The "freetard" takes other people's copyrighted material and shares
it, without any regard for permission.
That is not, in my opinion, open source.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
