Diskeeper Corp sued over Scientolgy indoctrination

Quote:

"Two ex-employees have sued Diskeeper Corporation in Los Angeles Superior Court after being fired, alleging that the company makes Scientology training a mandatory condition of employment (complaint, PDF). Diskeeper founder and CEO Craig Jensen is a high level, publicly avowed Scientologist who has given millions to his Church. Diskeeper's surprising response to the lawsuit (PDF) appears to be that religious instruction in a place of employment is protected by the First Amendment." The blogger at RealityBasedCommunity.net believes that the legal mechanism that Diskeeper is using to advance this argument ("motion to strike") is inappropriate and will be disallowed, but that the company will eventually be permitted to present its novel legal theory.

How odd.

I'd stop using their products...but I don't use any.

Only just though. The default built-into-Windows defrag tool from Windows 2000 onwards is a licenced cut-down Diskeeper version. In fact the German goverment got quite cross about the Scientology links, see Wikipedia for details.

I know. I never use the inbuilt defrag tool in Windows, though. I use JKDefrag for that.

I'd like to sue them for continuing to spam me despite repeated removal requests.

You still paid for the inbuilt defrag tool in Windows, though. Well, assuming that you paid for Windows (or the computer it came on).

Sorry dude that was me browsing from my phone.
Anyway, it's your own fault for buying vista, what'd you expect, NO evil?

I paid for a licence to use Windows. What Microsoft decide to licence is of no concern to me.

Don't let Tom Cruise hear you talking like that.

So if Microsoft used the money to kill Rwandan orphans, you'd be ok with it, too? I'm not saying I'm bothered either, I'm just curious.

Personally, I'd rather kill my own.

Is it on a scale? If you buy Vista Ultimate do they kill more orphans or a just a higher class of Rwandan?

myp · **Posted:** Mon Dec 22, 2008 14:27

I think there's a tickbox on the registration card.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Mon Dec 22, 2008 14:28

Why bother travelling all the way to Rwanda when you can start in Goscote, Coalpool or Bulwell?

I bet when CEO Craig Jensen passes a hard drive crash, I bet he thinks he only one who can really help.

It'd be no worse than the Government using your tax money to blow the shit out of lots of middle-eastern civilians, at any rate.

Yeah, but I have no choice but to give money to the government, unless I want to go to prison.
