A friend of mine is director of engineering at Google. His comment
on the Novak suit was "We took on the Scientologists and won"; no
not expect Novak to prevail here.

A small summary of good points in the /. thread

The man (ROBERT NOVAK, "asshole extrodinaire") is completely *devoid* of
basic humanity. Having Dan Resler to settle for $4,150 is ridiculous on
several points that I noted in the slashdot thread.

1. First of all, $4,150 is not chump change. If it were, we woulnd't be
talking about DIY Co2.

2. I'd commit several crimes before if I'd be forced to pay Robert Novak
even $0.01. One of them is killing him.

3. THe lawsuit against the APD people for $15,000,000 was settled for
roughly a few thousand dollars. Who sues for $15,000,000 and settles for
less than a few grand ----- indicates a *BOGUS* lawsuit????

4. Countersue, countersue, countersue.

Lets hope no spammers or spam bots pick up on this:

"It's my hobby," he said. Novak was able to consolidate the case
in federal court. "It's only five miles for me," he said. "All
these people have to come here at their own expense."

from http://www.libn.com/Column_details.cfm?ID=1249

7. " the NY Better Business Bureau gave PetsWarehouse its worst possible
rating for its business practices. Mr. Novak claims that the BBB is
*actually* talking about the retail store, not the website, and as a
result, he's threatened to actually SUE the Better Business Bureau."

8. www.petswarehousesucks.com (yes this website actually exists)

9. "My hope is that after Google finishes with this case, they counter-sue
the guy's ass off."

10. If you log into the petswarehouse.com forum with "test/test" as the
login/password, it'll welcome you as "Litigatron 3002" (as in a
litigation machine). Either this is a joke by his own administrators?

11. I highly recommend that everyone _frequently_ check back to the site
PetSwarehouse [petswarehouse.com] for great Deals on Stuff (DoS) for pets.
And be sure you don't get a cached copy, or else you just might miss out
on great Deals on Stuff (DoS).

This link
http://www.petswarehouse.com/search_...Action=Page+20
lists the 20th page of products that have the letter 'a' in the
name.

Now, don't everybody hit that up a lot because selecting everything with
'a' from their database, and then jumping to the 20th page is a lot of
work and it would cause unneeded strain on their website.

However, it's very useful if you are interested in viewing the depth of
the petswarehouse catalog.

While I understand the hate for him, as a confirmed whitehat I can not
condone a DoS attack on Novak. I will instead continue (as many others
have) a DoD attack- denial of dollars

"I'm constantly forgetting my own phone number. Quite simply,
it's because I never call myself. (I used to, but I was never
home. I just gave up after a while. I figure if I want to talk
to me, I'll just have to do it in person.)" -Walker

Don't forget to call their 800 number too, it is:

800.991.3299 But, don't do it from a pay phone as they will get
charged extra if you do.
