Are saying that you're going to dump your copypasta into every post that I make from here on out? Oh, the horror. If you are serious about this, do add a link to your very first comment, so's bored folks with an hour to kill can see the entire thread in all its glory.
Believe it or not, all this might prove is that you spoke with the creator of those forum posts. It doesn't prove or disprove anything about the identity of the contributor to those articles and software projects in the mid-to-late 1990's. Your standards of proof, just like those of the AC who claims to be APK, are inadequate.
Anyway, I've been reading this. Perhaps you and the AC that I've been conversing with [0] might wish to read it as well and mull over what it has to say.
[0] I have a strong suspicion that you and the AC are one and the same person. If the AC is the fellow who went by the name of Alecstarr over on Ars and many other forums, this sort of behaviour is his MO.
Google failed to find any offical mention of your work with Russinovich. I've emailed Mr. Russinovich to figure out what work that you've done with him, and to see what his professional opinion is of the person that you claim to be. Would you care to provide me with an email address so's I can send you a copy of the conversation?
When did I say that Ars was my favourite site? Quote me. If you can't, then you're jumping to conclusions, again.
Also, you're quoting that Shelley poem here, but not in your later responses. I assume that this means that you actually went and read it? Perhaps you discovered the lesson that we learn from comparing Ozymandias's words to the state of his works: all great human accomplishment is folly. Great buildings crumble. Great works are forgotten. Ozymandias wished for the reader of his words to despair when he compared the greatness of Oz's accomplishments to his own. Oz wished the reader to feel small and powerless before Oz's greatness. Yet, with the passage of time, Oz's words are now ironically appropriate. The reader has a different cause to despair, as he knows that he will suffer the same fate as Oz. Nothing that he can do will prevent the obliteration of his own works and -ultimately- himself.
Not exactly what you wanted to say about the accomplishments you are claiming as your own, was it?
I've already "gotten the better" of you. I did this the very first time that I closed a thread with you. Remember when I decided to spend three minutes with google and found your tantrums at Ars? Remember how they lead me to many of the other forums where you pitched a fit?
From what I can see, your only "contribution" to the internet is a collation of advice from experts in the field. Much of this advice has already been encapsulated into automated tools such as spybot and adaware, rendering your collection of it useless.
Where are your bug reports? Where are your vuln reports? Where are your software projects? Where are you interfacing with other knowledgeable sysadmins to increase your skills?
Also, why haven't you answered my questions? Do I need to rephrase them to make them even easier for you to understand? Here's a link to them. I'm sure that you'll have a hard time finding them in this mess of a thread. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1219095&cid=27809231
Do you behave like this on the forums that you haunt when someone disagrees with you? What do you do when someone asks you questions that you're utterly unable to answer? Do you throw these copypasta tantrums? How do the mods deal with this? What would happen if I asked the user registered as APK on the various forums that you've advertised over the past couple of days whether he was the same person as you? Would he deny responsibility for the writings in this thread?
Is the the traditional form of SMB password handling secure or insecure? Why or why not?
Or, if you don't care to answer that question, answer this one:
If I walk up to your computer and enter the phrase "I am APK", or perhaps, "APK", will it let me into your files? If not, why not?:)
Why haven't you answered the rest of my questions? Why do I have to explain them to you as I would to a two-year-old child? Why do the unified diffs of my recent comments always indicate changed lines, where yours almost always show no added or removed lines? You do know what a unified diff is, right?
Sorry, lemmy clarify. PJ mentions that she created a document with footnotes. I don't think that you can have footnotes in a spreadsheet. This leads me to believe that she created a non-spreadsheet document in Office SP2 and watched as it failed to import into another ODF-consuming program.
You will see that MSFT's previous ODF processing tool imported and exported to just about every program that supported ODF at the time. This service pack leaves export from Office SP2, and import from MSFT's previous ODF solution and Office SP2 intact, but breaks everything else.
Why did MSFT destroy the interoperability that they previously had?
More copypasta? Seriously? I guess that when your opponent has nothing left than to scream obscenities at the top of his lungs, then you have bested him in conversation.
Top notch. APK's copypasta is 100% the best that I have ever read. A+++, would read again.
I'mma head to bed. I'll reply more in the evening.
Hey, it's more copypasta. Your copypasta/new content ratio is really high.
Also, show me a copy of your conversations with law enforcement.
All you need is @ the URL from Windows IT Pro...
That link leads me to an article by the Sysinternals guy. That article is behind a paywall. This isn't a police report.
A) You're a liar. I've interfaced with the police and have friends in the force. The action that you claim to have taken results in paper documentation. B) Are you claiming to be Mr. Russinovich?

Prove that I am not the Alex Kowalski that that AC claims to be. :)
Woo. You *do* have an account here. Good job.
Also, you may wish to start folks from the beginning, sockpuppet. ;)
*grins* I'm as cool as a cucumber. It's this AC and his sockpuppet that seems to have lost it.
Anyway, good luck with this guy. He's pretty thick-headed. Lemmy know how it turns out?

^^^ This. This is an article. It's not even an article that has a byline by Alex Kowalski. It's certainly not a forum.
What's a BSP?
I've been looking more closely at what you did over at Ars.
You made 157 posts with a single nick in two days? Seriously?
Are you sure that you know what the various types of Windows ACL's are?

How is your comment to this blog entry on-topic?
http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/02/09/recognizing-improvements-in-windows-7-handwriting.aspx
The blog entry talks about the Windows handwriting system.
Your comment talks about changes to HOSTS file handling.
Also, you haven't replied to any of my new posts, and have not answered my outstanding questions. What's the deal?
Hey, look. MOAR copypasta.
Have you run out of things to say? Did you run out of ideas a decade ago?

So..... why did MSFT's previous ODF tool correctly interoperate with just about every program that uses ODF? Why is that interoperability now broken?
Perhaps you should re-read this more closely:

You could at least answer the two questions of mine that ask you for your opinion. I'm sure that it wouldn't take more than 30 seconds of your time.

Also, you didn't even read what you were replying to.
Are you this thoughtful and careful when you give advice to new and/or clueless users?
And, why haven't you answered my outstanding questions?
