"Even if only one tenth of one percent of internet readers are jerks" - by Geoffrey.landis (926948) on Monday May 18, @01:17PM (#27999391) Homepage

I've run into that "one tenth of one percent" in Jeremy Reimer of arstechnica (who is 1/10th of a man)... but, this is NEVER a problem, assuming you're dealing with decent people that actually do their jobs - you can take care of morons that bother you online, easily enough, by doing it yourself... how do I know? Been there, done it, MYSELF... How/when/why/where/how, you ask?

Here -> http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/41095/the-memory-optimization-hoax.html

That's where a trolling online scumbag coward arstechnica "not man" (what I call cowards online that act more like women than men do) named Jeremy Reimer impersonated myself on his forums @ OSY/pegasus3d, & had to ADMIT he had done so, no less, right in the URL above AND on his own websites + a Mr. Martin Meszaros (as well as posting under alternate usernames to "support himself" and was caught in it also - see below).

Proofs, you ask? Ok, quotes of his own words (& those of his pals Jay Little + Jarrett DeAngelis as well):

There, jayemcee said:

"Jeremy Reimer has no degree or certifications in computers and no professional hands on years to decades of experience in them either. Jeremy Reimer was caught email harassing, impersonating, & bother others online which ended up having his website have portions removed and his friends that helped him in it (a Mr. Jay Little of Atlanta Ga. USA) had their websites removed in their entirety. Posting as others (i.e. same person posting under multiple names/guises/nicks/handles) along with his friend Jay Little above to "support one another" when they were found SO technically inacurrate, they were laughed off that site and both of them outright left & that was after law enforcement were called on them both. Windows IT Pro is a widely read publication in the field of computers".

----

So Jeremy Reimer replied this set of lies:

"Bringing up APK quotes means you lose by default. APK is a mentally disturbed individual. He has repeatedly threatened Ars forum members with physical and legal violence. That's all he does. Almost everything he says is a lie: I was never accused of email harassment, my web site was never taken down, law enforcement was never contacted by anyone, and it was APK who was found to be using multiple identities to support his position. The fact that you would use APK quotes as an attempt to attack me personally without even bothering to check their veracity says a lot about you. I would never have done such a thing. Didn't you say that you were leaving Ars, and that you had me on Ignore? I guess that means you're a liar."

----

Others read the article "The Memory Optimization Hoax", such as jaymcee above, & are putting out the truth about you REIMER, & online, such as the one below from an educational institution who consider you to be nothing more than the unqualified charlatan you are in this science, see below... and just because YOU say someone lost? Big deal, who are you?? Nobody, but a liar and "not man" as this post will prove with your own words & misdeeds, read on:

AND?

More libel Jeremy Reimer my way above, in regards to calling myself 'mentally disturbed'? Do you have a phd in psychiatry to dispense that prognosis/diagnosis Jeremy? No, you do not. Continued libel of myself is all they have at this point... See - If anyone here is a liar & mentally disturbed, it is yourself for impersonating me on your website forums.

See - If anyone here is a liar (as well as a blatant incompetent in this science because not once at Windows IT Pro in "The Memory Optimization Hoax" article was Jeremy Reimer on topic and he libelled and lied (all below) also had to bring others to help he, such as Jay Little (he blew it on exchange server, more on that below) and the Doctoral Candidate Jarett DeAngelis (who was caught lying on who he was by myself and he ended up agreeing with myself on most of what I stated (how could he not? I had backing from the likes of documentation from Microsoft and far more to support MY points)))?

All you need is @ the URL from Windows IT Pro (including discussions from email w/ the police + Reimer's ISP/BSP) & as far as your question from w/ in this exchange to myself of "Are you Dr. Russinovich"?

NO, I never said I was - We'd both done paid work for a couple of the same companies @ the same time in the mid to late 1990's in this field & that how I know he, in addition to helping him find AND FIX problems in his applications, but I am not he, I am myself. One would think you'd realize that.

LOL, Arstechnica: The "private playpen" of Jeremy Reimer (the no degree in computer sciences, no certifications in computer sciences, & no years to decades of actual hands-on PROFESSIONAL experience in the trenches in this art & science)?

No thank you.

Well, now we see who is pumping M$ on Slashdot.

It looks like turfers are turning their poison pens towards Sun, just as near a decade ago they turned towards the late Novell.

Well said :)

Let's also not forget that ALL version of Windows, from NT on up, have been written to comply with C2 security standards:

http://windowsitpro.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=2293
http://vdict.com/Orange%20Book,6,0,0.html

Which proves your point, it's the USER, not the OS, that lends itself toward a lack of security.

One could argue that C2 isn't enough - but that's another /. article :)

Do you care to expand on your argument, this time laying out your reasons for making it in clear, concise manner with appropriate references? Because I can.

• MP3 and other patents will be expiring within the next 2-3 years.
• Microsoft not having the same teeth: here, here, here, and here, and here.

OTOH, you have given us no reason to accept your argument.

Amazing what 15 seconds of Google finds, isn't it?

I've used Dvorak for some time now, and AFAIK these problems have been solved years ago. Old RDP clients had problems with "double conversion", but that was fixed last I checked, and Windows XP's password prompt is QWERTY when nobody is logged in, and the user's setting when logged in and locked. You can change the main layout for all users in the registry ("00000409" for Dvorak).

Since when has MSFT ever said that IE is integrated into the core OS?

What MSFT has said is that the IE's HTML rendering platform is an integral part of the Windows OS (remember that the Windows OS is more than the OS kernel - it's more akin to a distro). That means that parts of the Windows OS (like the shell, help system, etc) depend on having an HTML rendering platform with certain behaviors present. In addition because MSFT has documented the interfaces to their HTML rendering platform there are something like a bazillion 3rd party applications that depend on that HTML rendering platform.

Removing the HTML rendering platform from Windows would cripple Windows just like removing Webkit from OSX would cripple OSX.

There are also applications that depend on the IE front end which will also break if it's removed (it's unfortunate but there ARE 3rd party apps that launch iexplore.exe instead of using ShellExecute(); which would launch the users preferred browser).

What MSFT agreed to do back in 2000 or so is to remove all the hard coded uses of iexplore.exe in the Windows OS and allow end users OR OEMs to replace IE with the browser of their choice.

Part of the consent decree that Microsoft agreed to with the DoJ was that they would not retaliate against any OEM that chose to install an alternative browser. There is absolutely nothing that stops an OEM from bundling a 3rd party browser as the default browser in Windows even though none have chosen to do so. On the other hand, it appears that Google is apparently working on a plan to do just this. And if Microsoft DID retaliate, the DoJ would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

Oh dear, it looks like I've upset one of the three remaining classic MacOS fans.

Posting the link again, for those who still seem to think that Windows 98 has anything to do with Windows Vista: http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/17767/windows-98-crashes-during-gates-demo.html .

If we're going to judge Windows on a completely different operating system (Windows 98 - as noted here, "NT didn't crash, however, despite its much earlier beta state."; since you don't know, NT 5 became Windows 2000, from which Vista is descended from), then it's fair game to judge OS X by the shambles that was classic MacOS. So, wake me up when MacOS has finally managed simple features such as multitasking...

As computers have no trouble telling when they are not being used and responding by putting up a screen saver

Actually they have quite a bit of trouble with that.

"Pardon? Please remind me, how does an OS interact with a chunk of hardware?" - by ion.simon.c (1183967) on Monday December 15, @10:51PM (#26128729)

Drivers & a "HAL" (hardware abstraction layer), elementary stuff.

For your reference, as far as Windows is concerned:

What is the hardware abstraction layer (HAL)?

http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/48583/what-is-the-hardware-abstraction-layer-hal.html

Pertinent Excerpt:

"One of the key design features of Windows is that it supports multiple hardware platforms without the need for complete different versions of the OS. This support is accomplished through the HAL, which is implemented via the kernel-mode hal.dll module. All Windows components access hardware via the HAL, and multiple HALs are available that are specific to different hardware platforms. The installed HAL is chosen when the OS is installed (hence, why you can't take a disk from one machine and run it in a machine of a different hardware platform)"

You also purposely didn't respond to the court settlement. Why not? Why would Microsoft settle with DEC? You don't have an answer, so you left it out of your cut-and-paste and tried to pretend it didn't happen.

Microsoft originally used Chrome as a codename for an IE5 VRML plug-in over 10 years ago.

It was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news about the new Google browser.

"I bet you couldn't even write a program that would score 5/5 at ZDNet." - by DrPizza (558687) on Thursday May 15, @08:17PM (#23426924)

You KNOW better than THAT, PeterB (DrPizza): Yes, I've been noted & reviewed well in written publications in this field around 10x now PeterB since 1996 (yes, I remember you, the gay guy that also posts online as DrPizza)... & yes, also on websites over time, doing well in "stars ratings" of work I had done in freeware/sharewares.

In fact, one of them being Windows IT Pro (back when it was Windows NT magazine, for EEC Systems/SuperSpeed.com), circa 1996, in regards to my having been a part of a successful commercially sold ware - & one that took superspeed.com to a finalist position @ MS Tech Ed 2000 & 2001 iirc, as a finalist in the hardest category there - SQLServer Performance Enhancement for techniques I noted in HOW TO USE IT EFFECTIVELY (& it worked, bigtime))

And, you arstechnica "online psycho-stalkers" STILL TO THIS DAY (you doing this sarcastic little post of yours only shows more of it) still try to pester me online & have kept it up since 2001 to present day (you're just another example thereof now)?

Well - time to let YOU, embarass yourselves (arstechnicans in general), like usual.

PeterB/Dr.Pizza, a question:

(The same one I had asked you arstechnica forums people years ago, & NOT A ONE OF YOU "ARSTECHNICA UNDERACHIEVERS" HAD ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING OF THAT NOTE/CALIBER, WHATSOEVER - & this embarassing of you all led to the b.s. noted below from Windows IT Pro mag forums no less):

What have YOU done, that was noted as decent in the way of code online (your "private playpen" @ arstechnica doesn't count, because LORD KNOWS, you all "support one another" lol, via "alternate guises" ( same arstechnica forums people posting but using diff. logon names no less ( & yes, there is proof below )))?

How about in well-respected written publications in this field as well??

AND then, there is ALWAYS THIS ( a hilarious testimony to the foolishness & incompetence of arstechnicans ) too:

http://windowsitpro.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=41095&cpage=216#feedbackAnchor

That's where you arstechnicans got:

----

1.) Kicked off your hosting providers (hilarious, the very thing Jay Little & Jeremy Reimer tried to do to me, backfired, & they got kicked from CrystalTech.com OR had parts of their sites removed, or the WHOLE websites they had were removed, by their hosting providers for libel, death threats, & more)!

2.) Jeremy Reimer got nailed by his ISP in Shaw (Canada) for repeated email harassment (ask Jeremy Reimer about that)

3.) Jay Little shot his mouth off about being an "expert on Exchange" & then did not know that memory optimization programs clear up issues on that!

4.) Jeremy Reimer was also caught impersonating myself online on his website (you arstechnicans did the same to myself on your websites also, & also edited my posts too - only LOSERS do that when they are getting themselves beaten by their own stupidities PeterB)

5.) That is lastly where arstechnica people were caught RED HANDED posting as others (same person, diff. logon screennames) to "support one another", & it was hilarious trapping you all in that, & letting you embarass yourselves in THAT.

----

You ONLY DID THAT, to yourselves, like usual.

I truly wonder this - How can you arstechnica people, like those 2 (Jeremy Reimer, Jay Little, & other arstechnicans up there @ Windows IT Pro & now, also inclusive of yourself now doing this razzing of myself here now) live w/ yourselves I wonder... you must be gluttons for punishment.

P.S.=> HOWEVER (& this is actually in YOUR favor on this one):

Back when Microsoft was publicly beta testing .NET they claimed that it was the future of application development on Windows. They claimed that all of their applications would be rewritten in .NET. Yet as years went by and new versions of their apps were released, none were rewritten. Miguel de Icaza, one of .NET's big advocates, wrote, "Frankly, I'm as confused as you probably are." Even Microsoft's own hosting service, bCentral, didn't offer .NET.

I don't know how many 3rd party developers they lost with .NET, other than myself, but they certainly didn't market it well. I think they're making the exact same mistake now. We'll have to wait another couple of years to see.

Arstechnica has some serious idiots "writing" (more like spitting back what others already have written) for them!

Mainly a Jeremy Reimer (who has no degree or certifications even in computer sciences, nor years to decades of professional hands-on experience in the field of computers either).

For example, Jeremy Reimer was caught email harassing, libelling, & threatening others (as well as the entire arstechnica crowd there (Reimer and his friends) being caught "posting as others under alternate logon guises" to 'support one another' & getting caught red-handed in it @ Windows IT Pro magazine forums, how embarassing) here:

http://windowsitpro.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=41095&cpage=216#feedbackAnchor

And, for the arstechnica people's stupidities there, Jeremy Reimer had large portions of his personal website removed from his website forcibly by his hosting provider for his idiocy (along with his fellow arstechnican Jay Little having his website removed in its entirety from his hosting provider CrystalTech.com).

Thus, I have no doubt your review is much better than theirs, just judging by the fact they have "fake it till you make it" types like Jeremy Reimer "writing" (slobbering on the page, plagiaristically) for them.

It makes me wonder why slashdot posts their dribble here at all, when there are talented and knowledgeable people who come here (such as John Carmack for instance) who can spot their lack of skills, know how, and credibility in an instant.

You are correct in that these features do not appear in any commercial version of OS/2. I did not claim that; only that Windows NT was based on the original OS/2 version 3.0 specification (more on that below!).
Regardless: I may be incorrect, but ... ... IRPS was introduced in NT 3.51 as part of the new device driver model. Windows NT 3.1 (the original Windows NT) did NOT contain that feature). ...

Yes it did. And so did VMS.

http://windowsitpro.com/Windows/Articles/ArticleID/4494/pg/2/2.html

One of Microsoft's goals from the start I think was to get a 32 bit version of the 16 bit Windows API running on a 32 bit kernel with a VMS like IO system tweaked a bit to be SMP friendly and processor independent. Dos took over from CPM when the market moved from the Z80 to the x86 and CPM-86 was late and bad. I think Bill Gates was paranoid that Microsoft would be destroyed by a analagous move to Risc SMP.

The original main architecture was the i860 ( codenamed N Ten ). Apparently the internal codename was Windows NT.

Later the main architecture was x86 with secondary support for a bunch of Risc architectures. One of them, Alpha was kept alive internally to allow them to port to 64 bit.

Deferred Procedure Calls (DPCs) is part if Windows Driver Model (WDM) which was fully implemented only in Windows 2000 (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc264476.aspx).

No DPCs are another VMSism. They are a way to avoid spending too much time at a raised IRQL (another VMSism that is implemented in Vax hardware and emulated on x86 until the APIC supported it natively)

However, these are tiny details of the bigger picture. The main feature set: Threads, pre-emptive multitasking, priority-based scheduling, support for SMP, layered architecture, pluggable file systems, application level insulation (i.e. one application can't take everything down), paged memory management (page swapping instead of segment swapping) all originate from the original OS/2 v3.0 specification*).

Yeah, and that was based on the NT kernel. The difference was that the main userland API would use 32 bit version of OS/2 APIs to please IBM rather than Windows ones. If you read Showstopper by G Pascal Zachary there's a funny account of a meeting where an obnoxious Microsoft employee presented the new 32 bit main API for "OS/2 3.0" to IBM. To IBM's horror every single function was almost identical to Win16 with all the pointers extended to 32 bits, and totally different to OS/2. None of OS/2's function had equivalents. At that point the OS was still called OS/2 3.0. Somewhat latter it was renamed Windows NT, the same as the internal Microsoft codename. All of which is funny, it reminds me of a bad sci fi series where a shadowy bad guy turns out to be the main bad guy (who you thought was dead) in disguise.

NB! This is different from the actual commercial product "OS/2 version 3.0" , which is derived from the OS/2 2.x code base! Confusing, I know!
The history behind this is as follows: IBM and Microsoft co-developed OS/2 1.x [16-bit operating system]. When it became time to migrate to 32-bit Microsoft claimed that it was difficult for them to travel between Seattle and Bocca Raton, Florida, where IBM labs resided. They convinced IBM to take upon themselves the implementation of the first, Intel-only, 32-bit version [which became OS/2 2.0 and base for later versions of OS/2], and to leave Microsoft to work on the next-gen portable OS/2 [which was to be some future 3.x version of OS/2]. However, Microsoft soon abandoned OS/2 and used the know-how and specifications for developing Windows NT.

To Henry Mason - Sure it is, sure (sarcasm)... That said, so, why is VISTA so poorly performing then (especially on file copies) if Dr. Russinovich is "always right"?

QUESTION: - Then, if that is the case, per Mr. Mason's atatement above? How come that approach for "superior performance" isn't working, in taking all free RAM & applying it to caching in VISTA OEM/pre-SP#1 then?

Why change it now, if that "theory" did work??

ANSWER - it didn't, & VISTA has terrible performance by comparison to 2000/XP/Server 2003 because of it. The proof's in the pudding where the rubber meets the road, for normal "end users" mainly, & in real-world practice (who are not liking it, and complaints about VISTA filecopy performance abound IN ABUNDANCE online, no less)... not PhD academia theory.

(See that URL from Windows IT Pro mag's article & see points on that very page (iirc, 15 of them) that Dr. Russnivoch was unable to counter for, on that very page no less where he was also caught in a rookie hardcode in his pagedefrag.exe program no less, regarding memory optimization programs & where they are useful vs. memory fragmentation)

Fact is, lately? FireFox's recently discovered memory frag problems also 2nd's that list of points as well (& the points of special note are for Microsoft Exchange Server & IBM DB/2 database engines noted in that thread - there are others, but those imo, are the strongest ones)!

After seeing how Jeremy Reimer of arstechnica was caught lying about his credentials (none in the field of computer sciences) and professional experience in them as well (zero) hands on in the trenches actually doing the job, as well as his being caught email harassing others, having his website removed by his hosting provider for it, and much more? I don't consider arstechnica a reliable or credible source of information - it is merely a place for charlatans to gain monies by, via using readers of their drivel to do so.
