I believe the URL will tell all.
http://www.linuxadvocacy.org
This is simply disturbing me to no end. An outrageous and blatent abuse of the Linux community. Not to mention an abuse of Linus's trademark.
Someone asked me for an advocacy site, and off the top of my head I provided some URL's. The above one was obviously wrong as it is NOT an advocacy site, but nothing more than a domain squatter redirecting pages to a site that has completely nothing to do with Linux advocacy.
I'm VERY PISSED about this. Someone out there could make a very decent Linux advocacy site, and that is the ideal name for it. Instead, some ASSHOLE has SWALLOWED the damned domain.
Can someone do something about this? I know if I had registered "intel.com" before Intel did, that my ass would be in a sling. Why is it not the same the other way around?
All I can say is "time to bring out Guido, the big mean penguin with the gold tooth and baseball bat".
