How much does Slashdot B. Hairyfeet get paid for all the material she/he/it supplies to LinuxInsider, I wonder?

Hairyfeet stink, just like a rat.

Who is this "hairyfeet" moron, and why is he being quoted in the article? It's obvious he's just an MS shill.

No he's not a shill. He's just a guy that sells computers, who tried selling Ubuntu Linux computers to his customers, before getting a solid grasp on how to do things right in Linux.

Which leaves the question unanswered:

Did he ever get that solid grasp on "the Linux way"?

No, he blamed Linux, and claims to be a fan, but he still hasn't been able to shake his Windows-centric mindset. He takes any opportunity to blast Linux for its flaws (sometimes justifiably -- anent helios's recent re-post of a hairyfeet rant) but for the most part his complaints boil down to "Windows hardware can be problematic under Linux", and "Linux doesn't do it how Windows does."

I give quotes to this same column every now and then - don't worry harryfeet doesn't get paid anything for the things he spews all over.
