Slashdot Mirror

The birth of a troll. Not that he hadn't been kicked out of several other online forums for the same behavior. I've had some fun googling the alecstaar username and seeing his banned self being talked about as a sort of trolling legend, while most are unaware of his Slashdot antics.

Or weirder, making coherent positive contributions on other web sites.

Im genuinely curious about what makes him tick

It looks like severe bipolar disorder, with Persecutory delusions - http://psycheducation.org/diag...

You haven't denied it was you, either. Because it is. The reason you post as AC is that you've been banned from every forum you've ever signed up for for being a troll:

I'm honestly don't feel like finding more right now, but you know they're out there.

I really have no problem with software that helps automate hosts file generation. What I and everyone in the world has a problem with is a person spamming forums with off-topic posts and attacking people who disagree with your methods.

So the rumors are true: according to the article all Sandy Bridge CPUs are Socket LGA 1155, replacing the 18 month old LGA 1366 and 17 month old LGA 1156.

I'm all for bigger and better but it's a pain to throw away a $500 motherboard every 18 months because Intel decided they want to change the socket.

On the other hand the latest 6-core processors from AMD still support 3+ yr old AM2+ motherboards. It's nice to see someone still looking out for the budget shopper.

if you keep that thing up for a week you'll see it taking up anywhere from 250mb to more than a gig. This occurs in all versions of windows from XP to 7, 64 bit and 32 all the same

No, no it doesn't. The proof of your ridiculous claim? An unanswered question posted to a tech support website.

there are reasons not to do that on windows. It's not like linux, where that's expected and/or you won't have your filetable crash.

Windows you have a known memory leaks in parts of svchost, so if you keep that thing up for a week you'll see it taking up anywhere from 250mb to more than a gig. This occurs in all versions of windows from XP to 7, 64 bit and 32 all the same

Reboots to your PC on windows don't affect the lifetime of your hardware, although if your MFT was corrupt prior to reboot you're just as screwed after.

Ergo, shutdown/hibernate/basically ensure your computer/laptop is not being powered when you're not going to use it.

Primarily it sounds like you are stalking him online from your -wherever you go- statement above in the reply of yours I reply to now. It now seems others are asking if you have ever done anything of worth that was noted as his listings of noted deesd in respectable publications and books in computing over time here in this thread http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1521956&cid=30900928. That's been put out here now here by others also probably afraid to have a real egomaniac psycho like you troll them as well now no less. With your url you put up though, I did a bit of reading. It's my opinion that You have also given yourself away as this Acecandy or ~Candy~ seeing as how his post shamed you to the point of changing your name there upon my cursory inspection of it. His reply wasn't mean about Internet Explorer and Opera. It was based on facts, and being factual in the end it even actually complimented you in fact. You took it the wrong way. In the end, you're just a nobody on that forums link you posted. Your frothing reaction has only shown me that his reply there certainly got to you didn't it? I have to say yes, it did judging by your lunatic raving. Do you really think someone who has a list like his from the time you were still in diapers couldn't do that also were he to join up at Microsoft's forums? Clue - he's been interviewed by Microsoft for work and years ago as a post of his I have bookmarked here http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=155172&cid=13007974. I read his posts and this is how I know this much as I belong to other forums he belongs to myself. He could do what you have in mvps status and probably with ease. He also summarily destroyed you on other things now that I read that posting, but only after you attacked he because somehow and I do not see how in the url you put up as some sort of evidence as to his alleged egotism, he tore your ego to shreds by making you and yours look rather foolish. Most of all via a post on registry cleaners http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/662877-solved-registry-cleaners-2.html which I found interesting in how you all had to ban him when he challenged you to find his registry cleaner freeware damaging windows. He's also done posts shown how they can be used as forensics tools here http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=8b73f8ac359f5d4395f12b5169367a38&showtopic=2662 where his guide is all over the world with replies from people who have applied it having no problems anymore with viruses after they apply his tips and follow what he says to do. Now, let's see you do what he had when you were still a child probably on your part to your credit. You cannot and you never will and that is that. It seems that the other repliers to you in this trolling attack of your are correct that your incorrect statement about he is wrong. He commended slashdot. You are not slashdot. You are an unaccomplished troll that cannot handle facts that make you look what you are, which is stupid. Amusing us also, in your trying to use others here in your trolling defense and it's not working. We can read you know. You are not slashdot and you are not the types of people you spoke of. Show us otherise and prove you are, because otherwise you're another windbag troll full of hot air. Comparing the list others put up shows he's done a lot of good note from some reputable sources in this science from as far back as 1997 it seems and continues to do so, whereas you have not. He is also correct that you in all likelyhood never will because you are a forums troll and clearly no

APK ALERT - DO NOT ANSWER THIS FUCKTARD

Unless you enjoy repeated copy/pasted answers and being insulted. His ego will not allow for discussion and any time you spend constructing a reasoned point for this moron will be time wasted. The only thing more terrible than him as a person is his terrible programming ability and shitty shareware utilities, for which he is inexplicably proud.

See here for an example of the kind of crap you'd be letting yourself in for.

Please warn others if you see him post (anonymously, he has a history of stalking). Just pretend he isn't there and you can't see his drivel. Whatever you do, DO NOT FEED THE TROLL.

and most notable: MyPCTuneUp which I am assuming is that Aurora Uninstaller you were talking about. According to the forum link above, the uninstaller really works. And it can't hurt to try, considering Aurora has already hijacked your PC, what more can an uninstaller do besides uninstall the malware.

And from personal experience, I've had a few Malware uninstallers from the official company that did a better job removing the malware than SpyBot, MS Anti-Spyware, and Lavasoft Ad-aware.
