Microsoft Plugs "Drive-By" and 14 Other Holes
CWmike writes "Microsoft today patched 15 vulnerabilities in Windows, Windows Server, Excel, and Word, including one that will probably be exploited quickly by hackers. None affects Windows 7. Of today's 15 bugs, Microsoft tagged three 'critical' and the remaining 12 'important.' Experts agreed that users should focus on MS09-065 first and foremost. That update, which was ranked critical, affects all still-supported editions of Windows except Windows 7 and its server sibling, Windows Server 2008 R2. 'The Windows kernel vulnerability is going to take the cake,' said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Network Security. 'The attack vector can be driven through Internet Explorer, and this is one of those instances where the user won't be notified or prompted. This is absolutely a drive-by attack scenario.' Richie Lai, the director of vulnerability research at security company Qualys, agreed. 'Anyone running IE [Internet Explorer] is at risk here, even though the flaw is not in the browser, but in the Win32k kernel mode driver.'"
I'm scared!
Their they're doing there hair.
What about the fourteen other fixes?
If you patch, you're safe. Too bad so many XP users don't opt-in to patching, a lot of them will be infected, but it's a good thing MS started auto-patching by default with Vista, also since Vista has a lot of anti-exploit code (DEP, ASLR, Protected Mode Sandboxing, etc.) it probably won't see very many infections, although I thought I saw on another site that Vista wasn't affected.

Damn, my RAM is full of llamas.
They thank someone from Google for helping them spot the vulnerability! It's in the acknowledgements:

Summation 2
No wonder my home system was such a dog this morning. It was pulling the latest patches and updates.
Meanwhile, it's still Windows. There's only so much improvement you can make when the manufacturer insists on packing so much into the "kernel." I was always taught that the OS kernel is the one piece that provides the interface between all software and all hardware. File systems, GUIs, internet browsers and lesbian Pr0n are all just forms of software that should be clients to the ultimately optimized but minimalist kernel.
My office has been taken over by iPod people.
But while Storms speculated that Microsoft knew the EOT font flaw was a security issue -- and waited until now to patch older Windows -- Lai thought that Microsoft didn't realize until recently that it was also a security vulnerability in editions prior to Windows 7. "I think they fixed this bug as part of the code sanitization during [Windows 7's] development cycle. It was actually only publicly disclosed recently, and then they patched it in other Windows
The article is speculating what did Micrsoft know and when did it know it etc. Microsoft's standard line defending its security through obscurity policy is, "we are not providing any details because it is going to help the hackers". But what about its big customers? Almost all businesses do not care much about its small customers. So forget small timers. But Microsoft has to coddle its big Fortune500 company customers. Would they be informed, even under confidentiality agreements and non disclosure agreements, which platforms and applications are vulnerable?
How do these big companies justify being so meek and acquiescing to Microsoft? If these Fortune 500 companies chip in 100,000$ a year, they can create an Institute of Software Interoperability and go towards reducing their switching costs. Microsoft has total revenue of more than 25 billion dollars, and a significant chunk comes from these big companies. They pay off has to be enormous for these companies.
sed -e 's/Chuck Norris/Rajnikant/g' joke > fact
I, for one, have been getting my hole plugged by Microsoft for a good twenty plus years now.
So sore.
Facebook is the new AOL
....is Internet Explorer?........aaaahh, that buggy browser that comes with windows. I stopped using it four years ago and deleted the icon.
Seriously tough, I think that when people choose to use a browser that messes with system internals above other browsers that are NOT messing with the kernel, they get what they ultimately deserve. I remember a particularly buggy period that really had me going definitely over to Firefox: whenever IE crashed, I had to reboot. With firefox, killing the program would suffice, and I had far fewer problems anyway.

Good grief. MS offers ALL security patches to EVERYONE, including pirates, and also offers many other patches such as stability and performance updates to everyone as well.

"There seems to be a myth that Microsoft limits security updates to genuine Windows users," wrote Microsoft's Paul Cooke, who works in Windows Client Enterprise Security. "Let me be clear: all security updates go to all users."

Once again I am delighted that I switched to Mac. The entire Windows ecosystem is riddled with these sorts of design flaws. What more reason can anyone need to get off of Microsoft?
I gotta wonder about the line:
'Anyone running IE [Internet Explorer] is at risk here, even though the flaw is not in the browser, but in the Win32k kernel mode driver.'
Why aren't users of other browsers on the older Win platforms vulnerable? Is there some other risk or problem that is being ignored or even concealed?
Man, I can't believe I got that out without laughing...
You have the right to remain sentient. If you give up the right to remain sentient, you will be elected to public office
No, that was me, driving my Mac Truck(tm) Lorry Load(tm) Malware Package through the gaping holes in your operating system. The patch you think you applied is just a little eye-candy to make you feel all warm, snug, and safe. It's working. too. :-)

Anyone running IE [Internet Explorer] is at risk here,
That statement is still true, even when the rest of it is missing. ^^
Then again, what does it give us, to help those, who were chosen by natural selection, to be punished?
Wouldn't it make more sense so block all packets coming from IE users?
Use the drive-by hole, to put a trojan on those systems, whose only purpose it is, to block all outgoing traffic, except Microsoft servers and their DNS mappings, until the system is updated. If the system is updated, the trojan restores everything, and deletes itself.
I think everything else just tells nature, to create even bigger idiots.
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
And they say AI isn't ready for real-world applications yet. pfft.
deleting the extra space after periods so i can stay relevant, yeah.
Hop in your time machine and skip ahead two stories to the Lightweight Rootkit Protection post. TFA mentions nine real-world rootkits that target "that platform" (Ubuntu 8.04) and the 2.6 kernel. I know there are a cubic gazillion reasons to wear the "your OS sucks" t-shirt but I think some of that emotion should be put into action and get more eyes on the open code to identify issues before the bad girls do and/or trash your system (KK, I'm looking at you). I have the unrealistic goal of not having a problem in the first place as compared to patching it quickly.
While supporting 100+ Xp machines for a period of about two years, I noticed that machines that were set to accept all updates typically suffered a gradual but steady drop in performance over time. My guess is registry bloat is the biggest culprit. The machines that didn't update automatically, but had service packs installed when available maintained noticeably better performance. The downside of playing russian roulette with security also showed with the non-updated machines hit by malware - rarely, but more often than the updated set - despite a good effort to keep third party security software (MacAfee, Symantec, or Kaspersky) on and updated.
Why no mention of the several dozen patches released in Snow Leopard 10.6.2? And they were only patches for Apple's latest OS. Unfortunately, those patches apparently aren't very interesting or something.
You can leave it on to notify you or just download them manually when MS releases them (your job to keep track like reading security news or check MS Updates every second and fourth Tuesdays of each month; don't forget emergency releases once in a while!).
Ant(Dude) @ Quality Foraged Links (AQFL.net) & The Ant Farm (antfarm.ma.cx / antfarm.home.dhs.org).
That FireFox has more access to the system than IE on Vista and Windows 7, because it doesn't implement protected mode. Grow up, children.
It isn't quite true to suggest people don't "opt-in to patching" on any Windows product. It is more the case the process is arcane and confusing to some users. And worse still, the system trains the rest of the users to blindly accept things that look like "official updates" when they are really malware. I've lost track on the number of times someone asked me what was going on when the WGA thing pops up. The way it is worded and framed seems to freak users out and I see why: Going for months with a legit copy and suddenly getting challenged makes people wonder if they accidentally broke or misconfiguration their system. That means many hit cancel because Microsoft gave these worried users a choice of "Do you want to take the chance breaking your system? Yes or No?"
Awesome, now this means my xp version is even more insecure then I thought,
I am still waiting until they offer free patching for pirated copies.
After what was expected to be an unusually quiet Patch Tuesday, Microsoft has released eight patches for applications with an insufficient number of security holes.
“Our market is the enterprise,” said Microsoft security marketer Jonathan Ness. “Information technology professionals know that Windows is the greatest IT job creation scheme in history. Without Patch Tuesday, there’s no reason for the experienced IT worker to spend his time hiding out in the server room watching progress bars and getting over his hangover. Also, you can’t tell people a virus ate their mail, you actually have to get it back for them.”
The updates include “critical” patches to Windows Media Player visualisations, Zune player software, that really cute dinosaur cursor and Age Of Empires II. The exploits opened by these patches allow a malicious user to take webcam pictures of your pimply butt, steal your pizza delivery and have sex with your girlfriend. The exploits have already been marketed to the Dark Security market by Microsoft Russia.
“Windows 7 won’t be vulnerable!” added Ness. “Did we mention how fantastic Windows 7 will be? I mean, is? Also, Vista was pretty good! Really! The London Stock Exchange was probably still on XP!”
Several faintly cat-piss-smelling Linux users pointed and laughed in a nerdy bray at the news and a much larger number of annoying Mac users showed off their new model iPod Nanos.

None affects Windows 7. Of today's 15 bugs, Microsoft tagged three 'critical' and the remaining 12 'important.'
Critical and important patches but none affects Windows 7.
Solution?
Simple. Offer Windows 7 as a patch option (and keep it as only an option because some machines don't have enough hardware). It's hypothetical though due to the monopoly and antitrust problems of Microsoft.
After all the patching your XP or Vista or whatever becomes more and more like Windows 7 anyways.
How many of the people who've set up their computers to be 100% working are going to upgrade their Windows? They may get a new OS with a new computer because it hasn't been set up yet, but spend money to upgrade the machine that is working? The adage if it ain't broke, don't fix it is definitely the one to live by for people who've spent many frustrating hours making their computers just right.
Because computers are so affordable, it's not a big deal to get a new computer and a new Windows together, but letting Windows 7 be a free patch option to people with older systems shouldn't hurt Microsoft's bottom line since people aren't that likely to upgrade.

Why do I get the feeling ForeDecker (an MS mgt. person here, whom I addressed with these points 3-4 times now & he just "evades them") OR, that I am just going to be "adhominem" attacked, rather than my points here being confronted &/or disproved instead?
Probably because the way you've written this, you've made it bloody annoying to read, and nobody can be bothered.
which is totally what she said
Hahahahahahaaa... yeah, good one. No, it just has incredibly fucking annoying overuse of bold font, and why put every sentence in its own double spaced paragraph? Annoying. Not to mention completely offtopic. You need to find a more appropriate context for your little crusade. I have better things to do with my time than go through a mess like that.
And I didn't actually read it, just checked over to see if it was one of those randomly generated posts (it *really* looks like one from the offset due to the strange formatting), and the other bit caught my eye and amused me. If you or whoever wrote this post can't see why people simply don't want to read this shit, you have major problems.
which is totally what she said
Huh? Yes it's deep within the thingy, but I didn't actually have the patience to try to parse everything up to there, I just noticed that bit *shrug* I got quite far through your little tirade there since it was kind of amusing, but got bored when you assumed that I'd actually read the first one. So out of spit I haven't read the read.
PS, ever heard of 'irony'? And do you REALLY have nothing better to do than check up on all your AC posts? Jeez..
which is totally what she said
Deja vu. Somehow you remind me of someone who posted moronic AC rants before, had a three letter pseudonym like "AWC" or somthing. I could easily keep replying forever, I tend to not be able to help feeding the trolls..
I don't know why you're referring to me as illiterate, your style of writing strikes me as that of someone who doesn't have English as their first language. PS - ever heard of 'paragraphs'? You practice the non-existend brand of them badly. Do you enjoy repeating everything people say? I never did understand how people find trolling so amusing..
BTW I don't give a fuck if I'm being "tracked", I have nothing to hide.
which is totally what she said
ahhhh, APK that's it! Someone mentioned your name in the thread you linked. I agree that you need some kind of medication or councelling.. you always post offtopic rants, and then get aggressive whenever people reply o_0 and you always have to have the last word. Haha :) I like the last word too, but in this case, since you seem to be doing it to several people and you've wasted my time in the past, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. Good day, sir.
which is totally what she said
Dude. Yes I'm talking even tho I said I wouldn't but I've been thinking about this a lot.
Don't you wonder *why* you upset *everyone* every time you talk online? Think about it. You are the one who is acting like a troll. A quick google of your name (which I did because you called a slashdot account "easily trackable", even though I don't use this name anywhere else, but you have registered APK accounts all over the place, plus I found your email address and physical mailing address) brought up several threads where you have been emailing people whining, threatening to take "legal action" etc. It would be funny if it weren't so sad. Nobody needs a degree in psychiatry to tell that you have serious issues.
You purposely twist other people's words (said I "cannot" read instead of I chose not to), and I bet you have a list of insults that anyone ever called you that you then use on other people.. because almost every single thing you have tried to insult me with could equally apply to yourself (decaf, trolling, etc).
You are the only person I have called insane, and plenty of other people have pointed out that you must have a mental illness too. You certainly have a lot of pent up anger and aggression, that you unleash on people for no reason, and you seek attention by posting massive rants on completely unrelated threads. Then you wonder why everyone hates you and calls you a troll or thinks you have something wrong with you. Wake up. I'm sorry if you do have mental issues, though I hope at least you have seen a doctor about it. I myself needed to go on pills a few years ago for depression, and I had an episode of OCD, I know it's not pleasant to have mental issues. But anyway there's probably no point even trying to be friendly or reasonable with you, you just don't seem to have the capacity for either of those things from what I've seen so far.
which is totally what she said
Who the fuck cares if they have a PHD? Once again you are acting like a paranoid weirdo, after posting a bunch of shit in reply to a *joke* I made and trying to pretend like it's being on topic and not just flamebait/trolling? Start your own thread next time please, this is the second time you've pulled this offtopic bullshit in reply to one of my comments.
People don't need a PHD to know if someone is not right in the head. Plus, I did study psychology for a couple of years anyway, and have read a lot into mental illness. Even if you don't have any kind of disorder, you are way too offensive to people for no reason, and you need to learn to write in a more controlled and readable manner. There is no justification for the amount of bold font you use, it just negates the whole purpose of making stuff bold in the first place.. lol. Anyway I think I should take the advice of the guy in the thread you linked, and ignore you. It's nice if you are able to help people sometimes, but you also just wind people up too much from what I see.
BTW I just googled that thing and there are LOTS of results for that how to secure XP. You need to stop spamming. Why can't you just put all this stuff on a blog and then link to that or something? It really would help to stop people hating you. I am trying not to be a dick, but what the fuck is with your aggression:
"I do, and I keep my normal nick everywhere... unlike a "trolling weasel" who DOES HAVE TO HIDE apparently, behind various nicks online... whereas I clearly do not. You said earlier you have nothing to hide? Why they multiple nicks online then?? It is more like you have NOTHING TO SHOW FOR YOURSELF & that is the "why" of why you post under multiple nicks online."
I only chose this nick because my regular ones were taken. Duh. I was just pointing out your hypocrisy when you were all high and mighty about not being easily trackable and such. But yet again you just ignore when you are wrong and go on with some rant about something else. You are an interesting case, but from what I've seen and heard you are messed up, apparently posting "disturbing images" of yourself on forums and such. That combined with the way you always rant online and attack everyone who asks you to stop spamming.. you don't need to have a PHD to work out that there is something wrong with you.
which is totally what she said
PS what the hell are you talking about here
"That's funny: I used your own words against you, via quotes, right here as did others apparently... it seems YOU are the one who is not liked here @ all. OR, aren't the other replies here indicative of that, when they were directed YOUR way?? I see others quoting your words and turning them against you, with relative ease."
I have seen no such thing. You didn't quote me, you were just asking me stuff like "have I got nothing better to do" after I asked you the exact same thing. And where have you seen people getting so annoyed at me? I haven't had an argument with anyone online for a few months at least. In fact, I think the last incident I'm thinking of was actually YOU.. you are a very strange person.
Oh I noticed that there is more, though I jus saw the ened and ignored the rest
OK, you admit to having mental problems, and that you are not strong enough possessing enough mental fortitude & guts to deal with it, yourself... I have nothing more to say to you because of that. I realize now that I am not speaking to someone who is sane (why else are you on pills or were before....? I rest my case)... apk
First off, fuck you. I was on pills for depression after my dad died. I am no longer on them. Depression is very different to being insane. Posting crazy drivel online and expecting people to not get pissed off is insane. Attacking everyone and threatening legal action for comments on websites is insane. You can't help arguing and you actually believe you have "won" just because you have insulted someone and twisting their words or flat out lying. It is weird. I can't help replying because you're just such a joke lol :) Have you seen the thread where that guy has a transcript of your email conversation about your spyware? *sigh* You just don't get it..
which is totally what she said
Dude, you are still the one being aggressive and making all these accusations. Most people don't have their dad die 6 weeks before they leave for University (ie first time they are going to be living on their own), and the fact that I did Computer Science was just reminding me of my dad all the time, I ended up pretty depressed. If you want to be insulting about it then go ahead, I called you crazy too, but I still stand by that. You have some serious social issues at least since you feel the need to lash out at people and "win" each conversation you have. Lol and looking at the end you think other people are reading this. You really are crazy. There is nothing logical about anything you are saying. I didn't admit I was a "nut job", I said I was depressed. You don't seem to have any idea about mental illness, which is why you are unaware that you yourself have problems (you seem like a sociopath or psychopath, hell bent on lying and trying to "win"). I "admitted" things because I was trying to make you feel less threatened (you obviously feel very threatened every time someone says anything remotely negative about you or the things you write), but if you are still going to be a weird paranoid asshole, so be it..
which is totally what she said
You are so weird o_0
which is totally what she said
I did not give you guff, you copy and pasted a massive essay to a joke I made. The massive sprawling style is similar to all those weird GNAA posts etc, so I at first assumed it was just a troll (and I still think it qualifies as at least flamebait, even if you did not intend it as trolling), then after I realised it wasn't I just pointed out to you that you need to write in a more reasonable manner if you want people to *read* wha you write? Isn't that your intention? I don't need a degree in English or Psychiatry to tell you that your massive rants are awkward to read. Cue you insulting my reading skills again instead of actually trying to better yourself - you always seem to just want to attack rather than listen to anyone else's opinon.
which is totally what she said
Again, all your bullshit applies moreso to yourself than me. You are the one who is posting endless wall of text spams online on multiple websites, and picking fights for no reason when someone rightly points out that you are spamming/trolling. It's almost like you *want* people to get pissed of at you so you can try to argue and pretend you're better than everyone else. Funny how everyone you pull this shit on ends up assuming that you're retarded (and we still haven't established that you're not, you haven't mentioned whether you've gone to see a doctor about your issues, whereas I actually recognised that I had problems with depression and went to a doctor. There is nothing weak about just accepting the truth, there is a lot of weakness in hiding from it as you do though).. not quite having the same effect you intended, huh?
which is totally what she said
Oh, btw I just looked up the meaning of your latin quote..
"By the power of truth I have conquered the universe"
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAaaa.. oh man, you really are insane xD that is so hilarious that you complain about "ad hominem" attacks, and then when you just ignore everything I say and then quote someone else's insult, you think you are master of the universe. You really do have mental issues dude.
which is totally what she said
Dude, the joke was not the so called "attack" on yourself. The joke was about Windows 7, and you posted a bunch of spam in reply to it.
Talking of dealing in reality, you are doing this kind of thing on many forums across the internet, and I see lots of other people complaining about it. What is more real - *your* version of reality, or the one that everyone else has? Like I said, why don't you just put up your massive posts on a blog, and then link to that in your signature or something? It would help to stop people like me getting annoyed at you.
Yes, myself and others (for example on The Register) justifiably complain about your overuse of bold and caps.
Do you even know what troll means? You keep saying it is easy to "pick me apart easily" and such, I'm not sure why I'm even trying to reason with you since you don't seem to even understand the very words that you are using.. you keep repeating the same things over and over, as if they've been generated automatically or you're just copy and pasting everything.. how many of these stupid arguments do you have going on at this one point in time? Did you think that it might be you who has a problem, rather than everyone else?
which is totally what she said
http://www.thorschrock.com/2008/05/19/how-to-respond-when-people-threaten-to-sue-you-on-the-web/
Read that page. Pretend that the APK posts are by someone else. Now ask yourself if his actions look reasonable or sane.
This Thor guy is being perfectly reasonable. He doesn't cave in to your empty threats, and he is trying to be nice about getting the spyware status of your software revoked. Then for no apparent reason you start insulting his character. How do you think acting like a dick is going to make him want to help you? Perhaps you should learn a little patience, and try to treat people as if they aren't all out to get you.
You acted in exactly the same way to me here, in comments I've seen on The Register and in other forums. It is no way to behave if you want people to take you seriously.
which is totally what she said
"and, neither did other repliers"
Please, provide some evidence for your lies, instead of simply repeating them to convince yourself that they are true? I dare you.
We can go through all your lies one at a time if you would like.
Don't bother replying if you are not going to provide some real evidence instead of making shit up.
which is totally what she said
Yup, another "GOOGLE KNOWS" (but, you surely don't & this proves you are nothing more than a "I CAN GOOGLE IT" addict): The literal translation is this ->
"By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe"
(Note the "vivas" part? That the part your GOOGLING missed in translation)
Yes, in somersault? We have yet another "wannabe" trying to play "smart" with me, & "GOOGLING IT" because he lacks an educated background & then? LOL, he still screws up massively... lmao!
Nobody know everything. What difference does it even make if part of the quote is missing? I didn't copy and paste, I just looked it up and then wrote what I remembered from the wikipedia article.
Why do you keep talking about me in the third person as if other people are reading this? And repeating all your crap about English and psychiatry instead of providing justification for your spam. You have no leg to stand on here, so you end up trying to insult my intelligence - as if you somehow know everything and never have to google? Gimme a break, you're just being pathetic.
which is totally what she said
Why do you keep copy and pasting stuff you have already said?
My point here was not whether or not you write spyware, it was simply me taking issue with the *way* you go about things. You don't seem to have any respect for people.
I have said a couple of times that my comments to you have not been jokes. I have been quite serious the whole time. The joke was my original post about Windows vulnerabilities, which you then just pasted some offtopic spam in reply. Again, no respect. You could have at least wrote a relevant introduction.
which is totally what she said
Umm.. and can you prove that those posts weren't you? They're all AC, the first two could be more of what I presume are your cut and paste insults that other people have used against you, and the third one especially is in your style "prove that you have a PHD, blah blah".
How can I "ignore" anything you say, when I quote each thing you state & reply to each quote?
You often ignore or twist what I actually says, or show a complete lack of understanding (thinking that depression is the same as insanity for instance). You seem to ignore that there are many other people who doubt your own grasp on reality, and then claim that I do not have one.
At least this time you responded properly, but unfortunately for you these posts are hardly conclusive. There are a few trolls on /. to be sure, so maybe they weren't you - but even if they weren't (and I doubt it, who else would defend your crazy spam?), it's kind of sad that you call me a troll as if you think it's an insult, but when you see a real troll you just think it's funny?
which is totally what she said
Dude, stop pretending to be other people, it's sad. You claimed before that it was other people that were posting, however in both of those posts you mentioned "not having PHDs in english or psychiatry", which is something you do all the time as APK. You even did it again in this post. I was not a "psychiatric case", I got anti-depressants from my general practitioner.
I am not the one tripping over and contradicting myself. Remember when you said that people with slashdot accounts are "easily tracked fools"? Then when I pointed out that you are easily tracked, you said that it is because you are not afraid to hide. Applying one standard to everyone else and claiming that it's noble in your own case, is stupid. Pretending to be other people is downright pathetic. Do you get that nobody else in the whole fucking world cares if people have PHDs or missed out two words in a latin translation? Probably not, which is why you suck so bad at faking replies from other people (which I also saw you do in one of the posts you linked to earlier).
Oh, and in searching for more funny posts by yourself I noticed that you posted the same comment TEN times on the MSDN website, each time with a slightly different message at the bottom. You are a total and utter spammer. You still have provided no justification for posting spam in reply to my initial joke on this thread. Like I said, get a fucking blog and link to that instead of posting this shit in full on multiple forums all over the place. People will hate you a lot less. I can't believe I'm still trying to be polite to you, you're such a wimpy little asshole, even pretending to be virtual friends to back yourself up -.-
which is totally what she said
" PS => ", as you say.
you are a troll that said he could not read the guy's words
No, I said I found his style annoying, and I COULD NOT BE BOTHERED reading them, there is a big difference between "cannot", and "do not want to".
but you certainly reply to his points very well
Thanks - and I did so without a PHD in English - who would have thought it possible? ;)
which is totally what she said
Do you even know what a paragraph is? I had 3 of them.
Anyway, since you started pretending to be other people I've lost all respect for you and am not going to bother trying to help you any more. Goodbye, you utter waste of skin..
which is totally what she said
I have only heard great things about Windows 7. What bothers you about this new OS?
By the by: I don't interpret your puny trolling of myself as a joke. Get that thru your head. Thanks.)
That's a shame, because I've decided if you keep spamming my slashdot posts, I'm going to have fun fucking with your burnt out, drug addled, girlfriend beating, piece of shit head.
I wasn't trying to troll you before, I was actually trying to be kind. But if you want trolling and spam, I'm sure I sort out a little trolling and spam in return. It's sad that you have been posting on one of Jeremy Reimer's threads for FOUR YEARS, pretending to be yourself and other people. I don't know if I have the patience for four years of dealing with you, but we'll see. The only reason you pretend to be other people is because nobody else agrees with your version of reality, so you have to pretend to be other people just to have anyone who agrees with you. That must mean you're quite aware that what you write is a load of bullshit, but yet somehow you still keep on going, making yourself seem more and more of a fool. It's part of your personality disorder.
Anyone with two brain cells can tell that all of those posts of people who agree with you are written by you. Except instead of having millions of stupid one sentence paragraphs like you do in your "APK => PS" posts, you switch to having no paragraphs at all. Both of those are crappy uses of paragraphs, hence why I said that you cannot use paragraphs.
By the way, the "mental boy" (cool name btw, thanks, I might use it in future :D ) post that you keep linking to - http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1438984&cid=30107250 - the one that calls you a troll with mental issues? Someone moderated it "insightful". LOL.

Indeed. Compared to the other discussions I've seen when I searched your name online, I think it was really great what you did today in offering the olive branch so to speak. I was hoping that you would see that's what I wanted, and that I really wasn't just pretending before when I said I was trying to be nice. I felt much better today too knowing that we weren't gonna keep baiting each other :)
It seems we both managed to show some trust and respect today anyway (as my flatmate would say "that's some motherfucking [emotional] growing right there", if you'll excuse the profanity xD ), and hopefully my attempts at being nice before were part of what brought on this "change" today. I learned myself the hard way that you obviously can't trust everyone, but I still try to trust people until they give me a reason not to. It sucks having to worry if you can trust someone or not, so better to just trust others and hope they will return the favour.
I'm sorry I had to get so riled up and that you didn't notice that last troll post here until after we had made our truce. You know how it is when you think someone is going to be trolling you non-stop. You need to stand up for yourself sometimes (ignoring it was an option too, but I'm glad we learned to respect each other instead of just hating).
Some people are indeed just sick assholes who enjoy watching other people get frustrated, and no matter what you do they will keep trolling. But I think some other "trolls" are just people who are having a rough time, and just need some way of venting :p We probably both just needed to vent a little this week!
Laters!
